Those anglo saxons coming over here with their bloody ship burial
traditions and their epic poetry.

That was the vikings, stupid.

Well no it wasn't.

Ship burials were common in anglo saxons

Wrong.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_burial

"Sutton Hoo is of primary importance to early medieval historians
because it sheds light on a period of English history that is on the
margin between myth, legend, and historical documentation. Use of the
site culminated at a time when Rædwald, the ruler of the East Angles,
held senior power among the English people and played a dynamic if
ambiguous part in the establishment of Christian rulership in England;
it is generally thought most likely that he is the person buried in the
ship. The site has been vital in understanding the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom
of East Anglia and the whole early Anglo-Saxon period. "

Beowulf is anglo saxon

Wrong again
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beowulf


Confirms it was in old english, not Norse.

The sagas are what you are thinking of, but they come much later.


And there are FAR more viking epic poems than that one.
Ther are, because taht isnt a viking epic poem.

The first viking raids were in 8th century. Beowulf is 7th century.
Beowulf written in old english,not Norse,

Sutton hoo - a famous ship burial - is 6th and 7th century.,

You are like Harry - you refer to texts that refute raher than confirm
your position.
