The word "Lady" derives from Old English "hlaef-dige", meaning "kneader of (bread) dough". Kneading dough and baking braed was women's work and seemingly had a high social reputation in Anglo-Saxon society. The "Lord" was the "hlaef-weard", the "warden of the loaves (of bread)". Bread, it seems, played an important role with the Anglo-Saxons.

The minute the video began, I was transported to another time. How wonderful!

I recall a book I read some years ago in which was prescribed "a poultice of wite moulded bread" for open wounds.

Beowulf, brave warrior, broke off the fearsome Grendel's massive right arm. Wielding it like a mallet, he beat the fearsome Grendel about the head, yelling "Stop hitting yourself! Stop hitting yourself!"

They made it sound so peaceful by its narration… and yet… ppl get their hands chopped off and strung up as a reminder, ppl were stoned to death for trying to escape, the glossed over what being a slave might have been like, who were the nuns? So much I want to know more of!!!

That woman giving birth needs an Oscar. I've literally never been so convinced in my life

I almost didn't recognize Dr. Sam Newton here. He's a lot thinner than he is when appearing on 'Time Team'. That said, his ease in speaking Anglo-Saxon made me think it was him. Fabulous program!!
