  1. Is actually where the name England comes from, well the people that were there before it was named Denmark, Angles spelt in their own language Engle meaning Land of the Angles is what England actually means.

  2.  @LesPeterGuitarJam  I shouldn't worry took me ages to realise that Wessex, Middlesex, Essex and Sussex are the names given to the states of I think the names Saxon or Saxony, I can't remember which to be brutally honest. Rather what they mean is West, Middle East and South Saxon. Is super interesting and really like your videos got some pretty cool ones on your channel!

  3. Also something you may find interesting was watching a video on accents of Old English, like the likely accent of people in London, is some idea it may have sounded a bit like the Northern accent in England now haha. A lad/guy called Simon Roper not sure if he's a historian or a linguist but went through whats kind of the supposed accents in London, a bit later on perhaps its presumed the accent in London for a period was like that of the Geordie accent. Geordie the kind of nickname I suppose given to people from Newcastle Upon-Tyne, likely because of their support of King George I and the 1st Hanover Monarch, Geordie meaning George. One of the people sort of called that was George "Geordie" Ridley who wrote the song The Blaydon Races, basically was this horse drawn cart race in the Victorian period and for relatively shorter period at the start of the 20th century, its about that essentially and includes the word gan or ganning, meaning run or go (running or going) is taken directly from Old English, what the Anglo-Saxons spoke (Ganning down the Scotswood road to see the Blaydon Races). Dunston is where Brain Johnson comes from originally (AC/DC's front man now), is in County Durham thats just lower, he's got a bit of a milder Geordie accent.
