So great to see and hear Sam again. I do hope he can make time for some of the new digs, his knowledge of Anglo-Saxon history and language gives so much more context to those digs.

I saw the program Time Team on the TV in Norway in the late 90's in Norway and has been facinated ever since. I do hope it will return in some form or shape, because I think you have fans all over Europe.

If Sam Newton's joyful enthusiasm of anglo-saxon history and language doesn't infect you, you are lacking in curiosity and romance. 😀✌

I spent 8 years or so living in the Netherlands. I never mastered the language, but as a Yorkshireman, it mainly made sense. I love hearing Sam recite as it reminds me my old drinking buddy Jaap, a Frisian. I'm sure Dr Sam could get by in any Dutch bar he chose to enter.

@@Cadadadry Tolkien may have been making a pun there. Beorn in Old English means "man, warrior", while in Old Norse bjǫrn means "bear". They may be cognates. Certainly Tolkien would have known both languages. en.wiktionary.org/wiki/beorn

My Ancestors The Tilden families of America descend from John Tilden, a clothier of Benenden, born around 1400. His descendant, Nathaniel Tilden,[3] sailed with his family (his wife Lydia, seven children and seven servants) in March 1634 on the Hercules, from Sandwich, Kent to Massachusetts Bay Colony. Nathaniel Tilden, the first name on the passenger list of the Hercules, had been mayor of Tenterden in 1622 and his immediate family had held similarly official roles in Tenterden and the surrounding community. Nathaniel Tilden was chosen ruling elder of the first church of Scituate, Massachusetts within a year after his arrival. His name is recorded in the first conveyance of land recorded in Scituate in 1634: "of all that land which I have of Goodman Byrd lying within the fence at the north end of the third cliffe, unto the land of Nathaniel Tilden."

I would imagine it was when Britain was converted to Christianity. Also I am sure further invaders like the Normans and so on had something to do with it. These Saxon names were mostly likely only used by the Saxons. I wonder what the names were before the Saxons came to our shores.

So the word murdered comes from the old English of martyred and martyred simply means murdered. Well, that's inconvenient for Catholics.
