This means that they worshipped lots of different gods and buried many treasures with their dead.
The days of the week are named after early Anglo-Saxon Gods:
In AD597 the Pope in Rome sent a missionary called Augustine to England to convert the Anglo-Saxons to Christianity.
King Ethelbert of Kent allowed him to build a church in Canterbury.
Christianity then spread to other parts of Britain and churches, usually built of wood alongside existing watchtowers, were built in Anglo-Saxon villages all over Britain under the Pope's orders.
Christians only followed one God and believed in peace.
As Anglo-Saxons were converted from pagan beliefs to Christian ones, they changed their way of life and became less warlike. |
