    Default Does anyone know of an old Anglo Saxon map of England?

    I like to draw maps in my spare time every once in a while, and I think it would be neat to draw a large map of England with most of the cities but, in the Anglo-Saxon language. For instance, London was Lundenwic in a map that I saw.

    In the youtube video "1066-The Battle for Middle Earth," there is a map shown a lot in the film that would be perfect, but I can't find it anywhere. If you feel like it, look up "1066-The Battle for Middle earth 1/15" and the picture at 1:19 is of the map. It is also a very interesting video so you might want to check it out if you're a fan of the Anglo-Saxon era. I watched 1/15 and I just had to watch the other fourteen videos.

    Thanks

    Search it up on google, mate. Shouldn't be that hard just look for something like "Anglo-Saxon England map"

    Happy hunting!

    I believe that are maps in the Uthred saga from B.C. But I am not sure, if they are detailed (<- you know, precise, or whats the correct way of saying it.)

    Who knows, since its Cornwall. The pieces of the books i've read were great but I've heard that he has a certain liking for stretching the truth to extreme amounts - so I wouldn't trust anything he writes as 'historical'.
    And for before all you Cornwall Worshipers attack me.... Just because his writing is great doesn't mean its true. There are a lot of things in his work that he can't back up, because we have so little Information about the time period.

    I am a Cornwall Worshiper, but I dont take the Uhtred saga as a piece of historical writing. I take is a work of fiction. But I also admire all the work and effort mr C. put into it and dont say its a pile of rubbish. Its difficult to create an interesting story with a 100% historical background. So far I know no one accomplished that.

    I agree with you, from the bit I read it was a very excellent story and I want to read more. And I didn't mean all Cornwall Worshipers..... i've met a bunch of people who really believe that his books involve a lot of real facts, which they don't. But it's still a great read
