Description
In this episode, we get a little history about how Germanic peoples from northern Europe came to settle what is now Britain over 1500 years ago. One of these tribes, the Angles, gave their name to this land (Anglelonde = England) and to the language (Anglisch = English). We'll meet the first English historian, the first English poet, and we'll learn about some of the main characteristics of Old English language and poetry!Music: "Rejoice" performed by The Advent Chamber Orchestra; "Dies Irae" by Dee-Yan-Key; "Sunday Morning in the Great Hall" by Fool Boy MediaInterstitial Announcement: She Who Must Be ObeyedSupport the showPlease like, subscribe, and rate the podcast on Apple, Spotify, Google, or wherever you listen.
