They STOPPED teaching the 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ANGLO-SAXON 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 STORY.

Here’s a brief introduction to it. 🧵

Fifteen hundred years ago, England didn’t exist.

Angles. Saxons. Jutes. Open boats across the North Sea. They carved the island into seven warring kingdoms. ⚔️

But they built. Churches. Laws written in English, not Latin. Shires, your county was drawn by their hands over a thousand years ago.

Then the Vikings came. And nearly ended everything.

By 878, every kingdom had fallen. Every king had fled or died.

Except one. A 28-year-old hiding in a marsh called Alfred.

He fought back. Built fortified towns. Retook London. Wrote a legal code. Translated books into English.

He wanted a nation that could think, not just fight.

His daughter commanded armies. His grandson became the first King of all England. 927 AD. 👑🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

In 1066, the Normans destroyed them. For 200 years, the English were ruled by people who didn’t speak English.

But the Normans couldn’t kill what the Anglo-Saxons built.

The language survived. The shires survived. The common law survived.

The idea that a king answers to his people.

That survived.

It became Magna Carta. Parliament. The jury. Us.

Every word you’re reading right now is rooted in Anglo-Saxon English.

Next year, England turns 1,100. Most people don’t even know it has a birthday. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

We’re going deeper.

Follow so you don’t miss it. 🇬🇧🙏

What were you taught about the Anglo-Saxons at school? Or were they just… skipped?

This. Is. Everything. We. Are.

Teach Anglo-Saxon history today.

RIP Rob Reiner. You were one of a few good men. You leave us in misery. I’m sure arrival upstairs was perfectly directed. Lights, camera, action. It’s a wrap.
