Previously, I had been using the term medieval times interchangeably with the British Age.
However, after reviewing the data, it was found that although the Middle Ages can include the Unsa era, the span is too long, and it should be more accurate to use the Unsa era.
This book should belong to the middle period of Angsa.
I don’t know why I see more early-stage data on Unsa than in the mid-term???
As mentioned in the text of the previous chapter, in the later period, the various currencies circulating in the market were very complicated and only relatively universal.
Kent was the first to be issued during the Seven Kingdoms of Unsa, as well as the United Gold Coins, and the coins of King Ella are also contemporary.
Let’s restructure the monetary system so that we can have a clearer view of prices.
After finding detailed examples, I decided to write British Pound (Eagle Pound),
There is also the daily use of currency in the media during the Seven Kingdoms of Angsa, and the use of ancient Roman coins. We will discuss it when we have time.

I have mentioned before that many scholars have discussed that Charlemagne's attack on Saxony triggered great turmoil in Northern Europe.
The heretics trembled and huddled together, and a large number of people fled north.
I read Charlemagne today
19. As I have mentioned the Northmen I will show by an incident drawn from the reign of your grandfather in what slight estimation they hold faith and baptism. Just as after the death of the warrior King David, the neighboring peoples, whom his strong hand had subdued, for a long time paid their tribute to his peaceful son Solomon: even so the terrible race of the Northmen still loyally paid to Lewis the tribute which through terror they had paid to his father, the most august Emperor Charles. Once the most religious Emperor Lewis took pity on their envoys, and asked them if they would be willing to receive the Christian religion; and, when they answered that always and everywhere and in everything they were ready to obey him, he ordered them to be baptised in the name of Him, of whom the most learned Augustine says: "If there were no Trinity, the Truth would never have said: 'Go and teach all peoples, baptising them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.'" The nobles of the palace adopted them almost as children, and each received from the emperor's chamber a white robe and from their sponsors a full Frankish attire, of costly robes and arms and other decorations.
This was often done and from year to year they came in increasing numbers, not for the sake of Christ but for earthly advantage. They made haste to come, not as envoys any longer but as loyal vassals, on Easter Eve to put themselves at the disposal of the emperor; and it happened that on a certain occasion they came to the number of fifty. The emperor asked them whether they wished to be baptised, and when they had confessed he bade them forthwith be sprinkled with holy water. As linen garments were not ready in sufficient numbers he ordered shirts to be cut up and sewn together into the fashion of wraps. One of these was forthwith clapped upon the shoulders of one of the elder men; and when he had looked all over it for a minute, he conceived fierce anger in his mind, and said to the emperor: "I have gone through this washing business here twenty times already, and I have been dressed in excellent clothes of perfect whiteness; but a sack like this is more fit for clodhoppers than for soldiers. If I were not afraid of my nakedness, for you have taken away my own clothes and have given me no new ones, I would soon leave your wrap and your Christ as well."
This is the text.
Vita Karoli Magni is a 9th-century historical book recording the life of Charlemagne. There are two chapters in total. The first one was written by Einhard, and the second one was written by a monk from the monastery of St. Gall (whose name remains unknown). ) written by. Historians generally consider this work to be the first chronicle of a European king. Einhard is thought to have imitated Suetonius's Life of the Twelve Emperors of Rome in this work.
I won’t go into details about its origins and writing.
There is really a lot of information about Charlemagne.
All of you book friends are at level 10 in English, so there is no need to explain in detail, just what I mentioned above,
The Danes were baptized and defrauded of tribute, which is what these two records contain.
Have you ever felt that it was similar to the past in ancient my country?
I found that there were many true believers in the Viking Age, but there were also many people who could be bribed.
Many of them have their names recorded. I wonder if I can find more if I use French information?
For example, the book History of the Frankish Kingdom also records a lot of information.
Also, I read some articles today and found out (articles reversing the verdict) that opposed various atrocities about the early Vikings.
It is believed that many of the materials were collected by contemporary Angsa aristocrats and Frankish aristocrats, who were paid to go undercover because of their own prejudices.
I will discuss the pros and cons in a moment.
I write about the Seven Kingdoms, and my butt is naturally in the Seven Kingdoms. If I have the opportunity to write about the Vikings one day, I will definitely examine the good people and good deeds in the Vikings.
For example, they helped the old lady cross the road, which was clean and hygienic.
I have read some information on foreigner forums before, and I couldn't bear it.
For those specialized academic works, I asked several friends who are native English speakers and they still found it difficult for me to understand.
In fact, if the quarterly update contains 2,000 words, I think I can verify it very well.
(If you don’t update, you’re just taking a rest, so no need to ask)
