Is the culture of Britain predominantly Saxon or Briton?

Culturally? Norman.
Ethnically Briton with a large Saxon minority.

>>1291409
Saxon. If they were Briton they would be Catholic like the Irish and would not be speaking English.

Not all Catholics are Roman.

>>1291471
Calling Anglo-Saxons Catholic is almost like calling the English Catholic.

>>1291471
That helmet belonged to a pagan
>>
>>1291489
Most likely to a Christian convert actually.

People think it is Raewalds helmet.

Not necessarily, Botolph's monastery in the vicinity of Sutton Hoo was founded in 654 and this is around the same time that the artifacts are dated. It is entirely possible its owner loved Jesus.

>>1291502
Yeah, also the first Christian one.

>>1291513
That's 30 years after Rædwald died.
>>
>>1291519
Bede called him an apostate, he also kept pagan temples open and had a pagan burial.

The helmet also is full of pagan symbolism

Yes and Christianity had obviously already found footing in Anglia if they were building a monastery.

>>1291523
Symbols are public property.

What are even the differences between tribal island celts and german tribals? Culturally the britons made some briton-roman shit with Christianity and latin script that the saxons adopted when they invaded
