Everyone involved in this thread should pause to read "The Year 1000" by Robert Lacey. The assumption that Anglo Saxon Britain was simply a barbaric backwater could not be further from the truth. The Saxons were a very pragmatic people, if you had knowlege that could help them, they would very likely welcome you with open arms.
