The Anglo-Saxons in Britain
The arrival of the Anglo-Saxons in Britain brought significant cultural changes, beginning around 400 CE. These Germanic peoples, originating from present-day northern Germany and Denmark, are known for their impact on the English language, culture, and traditions. Despite their contributions, they're notably remembered for their poetic traditions, particularly in the form of the epic poem Beowulf. The Anglo-Saxons predominantly held polytheistic beliefs before converting to Christianity. This included a strong belief in fate and wyrd, which akin to fate, signified a belief in personal destiny. Their perspective on life was often described as fatalistic, acknowledging the unpredictable and predestined nature of their existence.
Given these details, the correct answer to the question 'What did the Anglo-Saxons bring to Britain? What did they believe? How was their attitude?' is option d) They brought poetic traditions, believed in fate and wyrd, had a fatalistic attitude.
