Random question Beowulf considered essential part of anglo saxon culture/literature, but since its about a Geatish bloke running around doing Gestish stuff, does some people thinks its an older poem/tale being written down? What makes it anglo saxon except OE?

Well it’s not Anglo-Saxon, it’s Old English. Anglo-Saxon is not a commonly used term at the time, only used in some law codes. Anyway, there’s a lot written on Beowulf and it’s not my specialty but it’s basically a heroic past. The English still felt a connection 1/2

Now curious to know where the term ”Äng/Eng” i.e ”Meadow” originates from (do you happen to know?) Ängel = Angel
Was christianity already so predominent in Norse tribes by the time the term Enga Londe/England originated?
