The Anglo-Saxons were Germanic people who settled in England from 450AD. They continued to develop their language and culture even after the Norman conquest in 1066AD.

The tomb of King Athelstan in Malmesbury Abbey, Malmesbury, England. There is nothing in the tomb beneath the statue, the relics of the king having been lost in the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539. Perhaps the remains were destroyed by the Kings Commissioners or they were hidden before the Commissioners arrived to close down the Abbey.
