- Forefather's deeply evocative epic "When Our England Died" is a tribute to the last days of Anglo-Saxon England, a homage to the valiant Huscarls and Fyrd men who fought and fell in three crucial battles defending their homeland, that fateful Autumn of AD 1066...
______
Lyrics:
Wearily to the last battle they strode
Onward through day and through night
To death they did go but they let them know
The power of Angelisc might
Together they walked and together they'd fall
Under the Autumn sky
With victory song behind shield-wall strong
They slashed and they battered with pride
Over river and stream and through forest and field
They marched with fire in their eyes
Wiping the sweat from their brows
For miles they had fared and no effort was spared
On the day when our England died...

I'm not sure how accurate this is, I'm by no means an expert, but here's a translation I made of this song into Anglo-Saxon.
Wēriglīc to þā beadu hie striden,
Forþweg þurh dæg and þurh niht,
To hire cwalu forþgan dyde hie
Ac hie rǣdan heom on
Ure Angelisces cbeft.
Eador gan hie, and eador slægen sceal hie,
Under hærfestes heofon,
Mid sigelēoþ under scildburg dyhtige
Hie geswenged and bēaten mid pryte.
Ofer ea and broc and þurh holt and feld
Hie gefēred mid fyr in hire eagan,
Drȳgan swat frum hire bruwum.
For mīla gefēred hie, mid ne frofor oþer līþs,
On se dæg ure Anglaland deaged.
For the curious, here's how you can pronounce it:
(Any vowel with a line over it is pronounced slightly longer. "r" is trilled. "æ" sounds like A as in cat.
"Ayuh" is the best approximation I can think of for "ea", pronounce it as one sound.)
wair-il-yee toh thāh bayuhdu hee-uh stri-duhn,

Amazing!! Thank you! :D Though I own Mitchell's and Robinson's "A Guide to Old English", I never actually got to the point of delving into it... Too little spare time, unfortunately... :(
@@Freawulf Thanks! I've been practicing and learning for about a month and honestly it's not too difficult. It's a cool skill to have and makes for some interesting conversations, like speaking Klingon or Esperanto.

Though a little late, here is the lyrics in an Anglo-Saxon lethe written by me:

Romans:*leaves Britain
Anglo saxons: *looks at Britain. ‘It’s free real estate.’
The normans may have conquered the English ruling class, but the English people remained, the norman bloodlines faded away as they interbred with the English people and the English took their country back. Now we're awaking again. There will always be an England, thanks to our brave ancestors. Non of this surrendering to globalism like the celts, either ;)
Wish I had your optimism, I see us led by traitors down a globalist path
JackoJ15 Hail my brother, it is true indeed. Us Angelisc will always be Angelisc.

Don't forget the Angles who gave their name to England which means Angle Man's Land! The Angles were the biggest people to settle here, they completely abandoned their home land which covered parts of Northern Germany and South Denmark. There is a peninsula in Northern Germany on the Baltic Sea called The Anglia Peninsula, that is where the true English came from! So the Saxons and the Jutes were tag alongs basically. As an Englishman I identify as an Angle when referring to The Anglo-Saxon tribes. Plus I come from Suffolk which along with Norfolk and parts of East Cambridgeshire form the Kingdom of East Anglia.

I'm from the West Midlands, we still know who we are and where we came from, modern day hannover in germany, high germany back then,
Look up duke widukind and his horse, that was Englands family Crest, and as the Anglos mixed with jutes , saxons and dont forget the frisians, we all settled in Brition after defeating pictish tribes, and being rewarded with land from the Britons,
Hence why were all Anglo celts now and not Anglo saxons,
Live in America. But proud to be 80% percent English. Europe needs to be revived.
Benjamen Anderson sorry not Europe, England needs to come alive again, we have been trodden on for years.

@@aetheldanLol yes we do. Someone of Spanish cultural heritage is "Hispanic." Someone of Arabic cultural heritage is "Arab." Someone of English cultural heritage is "Anglo."
@@aetheldan With that logic you have to tell every other nation that their past means nothing
@@joshuafahey2564 I love Anglo-Saxon history as much as the next man, but lamenting the defeat of them in battle and making cries of "Anglo pride" in the 21st century is misinformed. We have as much in common with the Norman invaders as with the Saxon defenders, and not only in terms of language. It's a past to be appreciated, but this was not the English vs the French, it was a conflict between two groups that both constitute modern English identity.
@@aetheldan But as I said, this is true for pretty much any nation on earth. There are still places that latch onto their past and no one has a problem but as soon as it is Anglos it is apparently not alright. Germanic anglo blood is still present in many English people and if people want to take pride in the thing that pretty much started modern English off there is no problem with that. If we want to be pedantic, normans were were originally from Scandinavian origin, many normans would have also had a germanic bloodline, however diluted throughout the years that they became french speaking folk. Also, it was found that Normans had hardly any genetic impact on the makeup of people today. Many more white British people have Anglo Germanic ties in their lineage so it wouldn't be wrong to want to explore that. If we are being pedantic and using your logic, pretty much no nation can celebrate their lineage from a similar time frame then.

my surname is English (though I’m plenty of other European things as well)-which means REAL English! Fake English is French surnames (the French-surnamed aristocrats need to give up their titles, change their names and embrace the Anglo-Saxon culture and then maybe they’d be English)
hello oversea Saxons! I'm from the Dutch-Saxon territory, and am one myself
if I'm a Drenth? nah I live in the province of Drenthe, but I'm from the province north of this one, Groningen :P
guud guud
:-O I googled what Dutch-Saxon was and found out that I'm Dutch-Saxon too! I thought Frisian (what I am. Fryslan boppe) was something different, but apparently the anglo-saxons settled in frisia a long time ago and modern frisians are decendants of them! So thanks. I learned something about my history :-3
ho nono, you are mistaken lol. Frisians are Frisians indeed. The area of Frisia settled by Saxons (not Anglo-Saxons) is today's Groningen, and some parts of the German Niedersachsen. Almost everything in the Netherlands used to be Frisia, and most Frisians live in Holland (North and South), Zealand, and Frisia. So if you are from Frisia, and your family is too, you probably are one yourself
Nick Singh He is actually right. Frisians are basically Anglo-saxons who stood on the continent during the migration era, settling in the former lands of the ancient Frisii who had almost disappeared by this time. Hence the similarity between Old English and Old Frisian.
Never conquered pride of the Kingdom of Kent through ancient tradition the Anglo-Saxon never fell in the county of the White Horse.

Because most of you do not bother to learn your roots.
@aldhadenglisc6937 oh I know my roots deep, the problem is schools teaching of others history and culture instead of our own thus leading to the downfall of English civilization.
on my mothers. side i have an anglo saxon sir name. i have heard many proud and glorious tales of my saxon forefathers. and i swaer on the thumb of King Alfred the great i will never forget my heritage.
As someone fromNiedersachsen or Lower Saxony for the english speakers, i support this message.

Ned Steven even William the conquerer was Saxon related, he was also close to Edward the confessor which both gave him a claim to the throne, indeed the throne has been Germanic for some time , even the queens old house name saxecoburg and gotha was from saxony where England’s Saxons came from.

Thy can be British But thy will never ever be English! It is a blood line, it decends from our ancestors, the pure ones!
TheFighter Amen brother. Englishness is defined as an ethnic group united by Anglo-Saxon ancestry. We can't be afraid to take pride in ourselves just because some brown people cry racist.
@@andrewwebber8207 ...well, no group of peoples are ethnically pure...its more of a cultural and language thing.
@@marypetrie930 English culture is derived from Germanic tribes. People with no ancestral connections to the Anglo-Saxons can never truly be English. This strengthens our pride.
The problem is that Normans had probably more Saxon and Anglo-Saxon blood than Norse as the former settled in what would become Normandy much earlier!
Havent more recent studies shown that Anglo Saxon kingdoms never replaced the native britons? The culture, the language, the kingdoms were Saxon but the majority remain british by blood. Goes to show, nobody cared one shit about bloodlines or could even tell the difference back when it was white-on-white action. Just ask the Baltic guys who were buried by Stonehenge 3000 years ago.
Seriously badass song
True!
Too bad we did not have a longbow back then. I say "we" because I got the blood but my family left the island home of our ancestors to come to America. Proud to be an American and proud of my English heritage. I would love to visit England if you all would have me. hah.
r caestershire come and walk the land of your forefathers we'd love to have back .
Sure. Pop over for some tea and scones
@Wotan Mit Uns I've been to Somerset a few times since my Grandpa is from there, and the rest of my American family is almost entirely English
If you have English, Germanic or danish ancestry it means your an Anglo American, I’m an Anglo Celt Saxon with my ancestry as are most Brit’s now.
I say welcome home, England is our home
A haunting song, for those of us English that are in tune with our history. This is where it ended. well, almost, we are still here after all. It is a tribute to our ancestors that we are still on this isle. Even the Normans (let alone the Vikings) could not displace us from our hard fought homeland in the end.
I wouldn't call 1066 the day England died... 1945 and onward is where all of Europe had died.
If you think we'd have been any better under the rule of the Nazis then I have some real fuckin' bad news for you. Granted, Britain isn't what it was, but I can guarantee we'd be worse off under German rule.
@@Aaron19987 If you're in favour of the Nazis, you're not in favour of British traditions and institutions of pluralism that date back to AELFRAED THE GREAT! Their various crimes against humanity aside, questioning or opposing the fascist regime was RIGHT out and got you a visit from the gestapo. Please excuse me if I'm in favour of the things that actually fucking MATTER in Britain and England! I don't like the influx of foreign peoples and foreign cultures any more than you do, but I'll be DAMNED if I would ever pay a Nazi any more courtesy than to kill them quick and clean!
LoZ Collector so we just ignore the key genetic similarities between the British and Germans? We are the same. I can’t agree, I think that war, like the one before it was all for lining the pockets of the greedy merchant and not about defending anything or anyone. Churchill was a paid off warmongerer and Germany tried to get a peace treaty several times and it was alway ignored by him. We got absolutely fuck all out of these wars except many brave European souls genocided for nothing. The general media brainwashed person in the Uk thinks this was some kind of great victory, but I ask them all the time “what did *YOU* win?” I never get an answer
@@Tarnie495 If you want the honourable answer we honoured our treaties and aided our allies in a time of need. If you want the selfish answer we crushed a regime hell-bent on mass control and the utter destruction of freedom of speech and anyone who opposes the state-controlled version of the truth, a right you're enjoying presently by opposing the mainstream. If the Nazis had won, your opposition to "brainwashing" or edgy desire to oppose the mainstream would see you in a deathcamp. The British blood that was spilt defeating Nazism is what gives you the right to sit here and defend Nazism, that's one to mull over.
captlaserrage and are you happy with the version of Britain you are looking at today? The one that has changed so much since 1945 and our “glorious victory”? British troops wouldn’t have ran 12 yards up the beaches of Normandy if they could see their country today. Is that not truthful? I’d have a look outside of the history lessons we are taught in school and via the media.
We are not yet dead, but united through our Christian faith
We are not all Christians!....just books written to control.
@@marypetrie930 Control? Sometimes it feels like society today could use a little bit of that. Back then people who lived near each other all went to church together, all knew each other and looked after each other as a community. Thank goodness we're "free" from that... ;)
@@MikeHesk742 Instead of the Christian Catholic(or Protestant) Moral and the good things the Celts and Germanic pagans who passed to their Christian Descendants, they want the moral of degeneracy who is being architetured since French Revolution, this is worse than being primitive(not in the offensive way the word ususually used), even them knows the concepts of loyalty, honor and justice, transcedental and superior rule, we are building barbarian morality under mud foundations and destroying the stone who is the good foundation of our society, thus, the people who hated the stone foundation will miss this foundation when their necks is filled with mud and almost dying.
@@danielbruceagra9022 No, the French Revolution was great. Liberty, Equality, Fraternity! These are the pillars of our civilizations moral code, and for good.
@@MikeHesk742 that was even greater when they were pagans. There were sites of religious importance all around (many of which now have churches built ontop of them) and community was of utmost importance. Just look at Padstow may day, it glues the entire town together and its probably one of the most pagan things I've seen surviving until today
Shall we all learn old English again and then make a settlement in some woods and make our way outwards? ;D

Thanks for a well made music video! I learned something new about the history of England.
This historical event reminds me of the battle of Gotland in 1361. A Danish large force with hired Germanic warriors, led by King Waldermar Atterdag was far too overwhelming for Gotland's defense which consisted mostly of peasants. At first the Gotlanders managed to defend the island but gradually became far too small and at the last battle at the town of Visby the force consisted mostly of old men and far too young boys. They did not even have a chance, but they still resisted a superior force. It's honorable.
A lot has happened in the almost 700 years that have passed, but it will be too long to write here. Gotland has been a Swedish island for many hundreds of years, but I still see myself as a Gotlander.
Hej, thank for your comment! I visited an exhibition about the battle of Visby in Stockholm a couple of years ago (can't recall if it was at the Historiska Museet or the Armémuseum). Great presentation of the events and some really gruesome relics from the battle, skulls and all... :-/ It must have been a horrible slaughter, indeed! Hope to visit Gotland someday (there's a reenactment festival held there each Summer if I'm not mistaken). Cheers!!
@@Freawulf That's right, the medieval week on Gotland actually starts in two days and continues one week ahead. (8/8 - 15/8). Welcome to Gotland! : D

Na mate
Being a descendent of the Norman knight De Malin, plus a healthy mix of Anglo (Eden, Goodman) and Norman (Bragg, Fitzwilliam) names, I can say I see both sides of 1066. Its all very well to put the Anglo-Saxon world on a pedestal, but their successions were always a complete disaster, even by the standards of the time. This opened the way for Norman conquest and really may have been better in the long run for everyone. On the other hand, William didnt have to be such a bastard about things, and the class-conciousness it created is still haunting England today. Lets face it though, whether Anglo or Norman, the EU and mass migration is the real threat.

@@eadweardwoden7309 you should give the last kingdom a watch if you haven’t seen it, it’s a very interesting series especially for those interested in Anglo Saxon and Viking history.
@@eadweardwoden7309 so many anti English ppl in this country these days it’s unreal ain’t it.

#NormandynotmyEngland
No use crying over spilled milk.
William the Conquer time and bye to the Anglosaxons Elite
Normans have not disapeared. Some got assimilated in England it is true. What remains of them now?
Normandy itself , and millions of Canadians with a strong Norman lineage. The same boys who acquired a feared reputation as shocktroopers in WW1 ,brought Victory to the Allied with Vimy Ridge . The same boys who fought at Dieppe in 1942, the boys who ended up being the World Champs at D-Day . The ones who liberated Northern France, Northern Belgium, the Netherlands and overall, helped England to survive against the Axis Power. We are still well and alive. To be honest, England is not our priority anymore. We have much better countries to live in now 🇨🇦
Spotify removed this 🙄.
They don’t want us to hear the call of our ancestors
😮 Why on earth would they do that?! 🤬
How about your Iron Age ancestors?
They have no history
Literally it’s prehistory
mmmmm.. muh Norman feudalism feels good.
nice bird really good CGI there. BUT big BUT i feel england lost its magical touch when the Anglo-Saxon culture left :(
Normans made England great, they laid ground work for the taking of Ireland and made the Scots recognise the Normans as Protectors of Scotland and paid tribute to the Normans. I doubt a Bunch of tribal infighting Saxons could of done that.
How do you think England came about then? The Normans weren't the founders of AEngland.
@@johnbuckley6051 I didn't say they were the founders, I said they made England strong and powerful on the Isle.
@@johnbuckley6051Same thing with the Anglo Saxons they raped and Pillaged through Celtic England because they didn't get payed how pathetic. They Should of Fucked off back to Saxony to worship their Fucking tree
It was the English who did that 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
What the?
The Anglo-Saxons were already a powerful tribe.
And to be honest, their history is far more interesting that the bland-boring filthy normans who invaded England.
Ahh the funny thing is.....for ye folk who think you're Anglo-Saxon or in anyway like them......the Anglo-Saxons are nothing like the English of the modern day.
We're not Anglo-Saxons. Their England and our England are different. Have been for centuries now.
The Saxons of then knew how to deal with a plague unlike today. Because they lived to tell the tales.i agree with you there.
Matt agreed my dna proved by Oxford university that I am Brythonic blood. But my moms side Saxon love both sides. Normans was the worse thing that happened to Angleland.
The Anglo-Saxons didn't call themselves Anglo-Saxons, they called themselves "Englisc"
Of course our culture and language has changed, but we've been English for over a thousand years and England is one of the first and oldest nation states in the world.
They are our far ancestors now, but their blood still runs in us and they laid the foundations on which England was built. I won't forget them.
Cool opinion, shame it's wrong
Speak for yourself my family name goes back to old English. lies from subverts will not distance me from my anccesters!
The normans bloodline died out only thing that remain is the name Norman that came from them fact
