THE
ANGLES HAVE LANDED
The Angles came
here for a visit 1515 years ago
and liked it so much they have
stayed.
According to sources
such as the History of Bede, after the
invasion of Britannia, the Angles
split up and founded the kingdoms of
the Nord Angelnen (Northumbria), Ost
Angelnen (East Anglia), and the
Mittlere Angelnen (Mercia).
Confirmation is afforded by English
and Danish traditions relating to two
kings named Wermund and Offa of Angel,
from whom the Mercian royal family
claimed descent and whose exploits are
connected with Angeln, Schleswig, and
Rendsburg. Danish tradition has
preserved record of two governors of
Schleswig, father and son, in their
service, Frowinus (Freawine) and Wigo
(Wig), from whom the royal family of
Wessex claimed descent. During the 5th
century, the Anglii invaded Great
Britain, after which time their name
does not recur on the continent except
in the title of Suevi Angili.
