Those anglo saxons coming over here with their bloody ship burial

That was the vikings, stupid.
Well no it wasn't.
Ship burials were common in anglo saxons
Wrong.

"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. "
Pity that FAR more viking ship burials have been found than that one.
Beowulf is anglo saxon
Wrong again
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beowulf
Confirms it was in old english, not Norse.
Pity that there were FAR more viking epic poetry than that one.
The sagas are what you are thinking of, but they come much later.
The timing is irrelevant. Its the numbers that matter.
And there are FAR more viking epic poems than that one.
Ther are, because taht isnt a viking epic poem.
Still just one epic poem.
The first viking raids were in 8th century. Beowulf is 7th century.
Beowulf written in old english,not Norse,
And is just one epic poem.
Sutton hoo - a famous ship burial - is 6th and 7th century.,
And is just one. Pity about the dozens of viking ship burials.
You are like Harry
Nope.
- you refer to texts that refute raher than confirm your position.
Bull**** on the numbers.
