Anglo-Saxon Culture
The original religion of Anglo-Saxons was pagan. The main group was from Germany and Denmark. The groups were divided into three: Angles, Saxons, and Jutes. Early Anglo-Saxons highly valued courage and skill in battle. Anglo-Saxons strongly valued that the kinless man was an object of pity. Britons (British Christians) and Anglo-Saxons despised each other’s religions. British Christians didn't like paganism and Anglo-Saxons didn't like Christianity. Anglo-Saxon poetry continued to be composed even though Anglo-Saxon culture was displaced.
