  1. Fall of the Roman Empire/Origins of the Anglo-Saxon People Sam Mills, Sam Lutz, Rachel Morrison, Jeung Lee

  2. Fall of the Roman Empire • “Some say it split into an eastern and western empire governed by separate emperors. Causing Rome to fall.” • “The eastern half became the Byzantine Empire, with its capital at Constantinople (modern Istanbul).” • “The western half remained centered in Italy.” • “Many say the Fall of Rome was an ongoing process, lasting more than a century.”

  3. Dates • “some who think the Fall of Rome happened at Constantinople in A.D. 453.” • Others believe Rome fell around 150CE - 475CE.

  4. Angle Tribe • “Were one of the Germanic peoples who migrated from continental Germany to Britain in the 5th century. • “That land was later called Engla-lond (in Old English - "Land of the Angles"), thus England.” • “Thanks to the major influence of the Angles, the people of England are also known as Anglo-Saxons, and, of course the English. A region of the United Kingdom is known by the name East Anglia.”

  5. Saxon Tribe • The Saxons were different, they used smaller knifes or short swords, as opposed to the use of long swords. •   The Old Saxons remained un-Christianized for centuries after the Anglo-Saxons who left for Briton were converted. • Until the Christianization of the Saxons in the later part of the eighth century by Franks and Anglo-Saxons, it can be found that the Saxons were extensively Pantheistic and Pagan.
