Something new (to me) I learnt this morning
The word Oyez (beloved of Town Criers in England) is the second-person plural imperative of the Anglo-Norman verb Ouïr, to hear, translating as Hear ye!

The #CoronationStone, #kingstonuponthames
The Grade I listed Coronation Stone is an ancient sarsen stone block, believed to have been the site of the coronation of seven Anglo-Saxon kings, Æthelstan (in 925), Eadred (946) and Æthelred the Unready (979). Edward the Elder, Edmund I, Eadwig and Edward the Martyr are also thought to have been consecrated in the town.
In 1730, it was recovered from the chapel of the collapsed Church of St Mary and placed in the market square. -

The #BayeuxTapestry may be back in England, but it is a Norman artwork. For #AngloSaxon voices, we need to look elsewhere.

Cnut the Danish prince has conquered England. He has an heir, Harald Harefoot, by his first wife. But he divorced her and married Aethelred's widow, Emma. She doesn't care about Alfred and Edward: she and Cnut want their new son Harthacnut to rule.
And Cnut was also king of Norway and Denmark, so there are separate claimants up there raising armies. There are powerful Earls who can tip the balance of power. There are betrayals and reversals. It needs a TV series!

I have been slowly listening my way through the wonderful "History of England Podcast" (https://thehistoryofengland.co.uk) and have reached the death of Cnut in 1035. The succession is so dramatic and full of colourful characters and I knew nothing about this period:
Previous Anglo-Saxon king, Edmund Ironside, has an heir in exile in Hungary. The king before him, Aethelred, has two heirs by Emma in exile in Normandy: Alfred and Edward the Confessor.

1840s reproduction from the Bayeux Tapestry. Text is actually about Anglo-Saxon farming _before_ the Conquest, and uses lfriċ’s desc. of an enslaved ploughman and his boy, says he works hard, but omits the essential but unfashionable (1840s) fact he was a slave.
Slavery was common before 1066, mostly died out by the end of the 12th C; the church was the main holdout.

Wolves, Dragons and Devil Whales: The Strange Animal World of England
As such, records of specific pagan beliefs that Anglo-Saxons prescribed to were lost to an age that did not write anything down, but engaged in a rich tradition of storytelling through singing and poetry. As well as the society, the environment was also vastly different to the present day UK. By examining archaeozoological sources, we can find out how different the physical environment of Anglo Saxon England was to how we know England today........Continue reading....
