Dear Bernard. Yes! Well done, you thrashed us in the one day series. I may have solved Sgt Hakeswill's final destination. Just test the Australian cricket sides DNA? But what I would like to know is where did the Saxons originally come from and did they bring Christian beliefs to England? Lords of the North)Regards Kevin- South Africa.
The Saxons originated from Germany - but they themselves had been driven westward by other enemies. No, they didn't bring Christianity to Britain - that was imported by the Romans (who have a lot to answer for). The Saxons reintroduced paganism, but were in turn converted by missionaries from Europe, by which time the remnants of Celtic Christianity were holed up in Ireland and Wales. I didn't follow the one-day series at all . . . . sounds good, though.
