The Rise of Englaland and English An Introduction to Beowulf

England: A brief history Prehistory: Stonehenge → c. 2500 BCE The Celts: Rulers during the Iron Age c. 600 BCE – 50 CE ← Celtic coins from Iron Age

Roman Invasion 43 CE – Under Claudius, Rome invades & conquers “Britannia province” of the Roman Empire Latin mixes in with local language

The Angles, Saxons, and Jutes (Danes) brought their Germanic languages to Britannia c. 450 CE. The combination of all these languages created Old English.

In 827 CE, King Egbert renamed Britannia, and called it Englaland (land of the Angles). Old English or “OE” was spoken c. 500 CE (Angle/Saxon Inv.) to 1100 CE (Norman Invasion) In the first line, notice the word “Englaland” that King Egbert coined.

Norman Invasion William the Conqueror Norman (French) 1066 CE: Battle of Hastings Killed king; made himself king Addition of French turns OE into ME, or Middle English

The Epic of Beowulf - Written down in 11th century - after Norman Invasion - Middle English - before then, passed down orally for 100s of yrs.

The monsters and dragons in the story come from Scandinavian and Celtic folk tales. Elements of Christianity were added later.

Beowulf (the person) was actually a Geat from what is now southern Sweden.
