I’ve often wondered, why not Saxo-Angles? Seems like the Saxons wound up playing second fiddle...

Too many lyres in the family, angling for position, tooting their own horns.

What a caco-phony.

Anglo-Saxon gold and garnet raven’s head found

Raven wood have found it, but it's Indiana hoosier man.

This is because of which kingdoms survived the Danes

Before the Norse came, the Northumbrians and Mercians were far more powerful than the Saxons in the south

But they were conquered and only the west saxons survived as an independent kingdom

So the Angle-ish survived and the country took on their name

Just as the Britons and Picts took on the term "Scotti" which was an IRISH tribe
