第一章 安格鲁—撒克逊时期(450—1066)
1.历史背景
不列颠群岛最早的居民是凯尔特人,他们最初居住在莱茵河上游地区,大约在公元前600年,他们移居到了不列颠群岛。在大约公元前400到公元前300年时,凯尔特人的一个分支——布立吞人,来到了不列颠群岛,“不列颠”这个名字便是由他们所取。凯尔特人的文化属于铁器文化的早期阶段,他们知道如何铸造铁剑和种植庄稼。关于他们的信仰,我们所知甚少,但是我们能了解到他们五月节的宗教典礼和槲寄生(一种植物)的祭奠仪式,这些已经成为英国人民民族传统的一部分。
从公元前55年到公元407年,不列颠群岛在罗马帝国的统治之下。那时,罗马帝国是奴隶社会,它统治了整个欧洲,并且有很高的文明水平。罗马人打败了凯尔特人,成为了不列颠群岛的主人,伦敦就是在罗马人的统治时期内建成的。
第一个来到不列颠的罗马将领是著名的尤里乌斯.凯撒,公元55年,在他取得高卢战役的胜利后,带领一万名士兵跨过英吉利海峡来到那里。但是他只在哪儿待了几个星期,虽然他在第二年又来到了不列颠,他并没有在岛上驻扎军队,因为他当时正忙于平息欧洲大陆的叛乱,还有罗马帝国的内战。在罗马人对不列颠扩大征服之前,就这样过去了一个世纪。
罗马人统治了不列颠三个半世纪,他们筑寺庙、修大路、砌城墙、建军营,但是,对凯尔特人的文化生活却影响不大。他们建成了四、五十个城邑,如今无论何时,如果你在英国听到一个城镇的名字是以“切斯特”或“卡斯特”结尾的,那么毫无疑问,它一定是坐落在一个罗马军队曾经的屯兵之地上。因为这样的词来源于拉丁语“卡斯楚”,它的意思是“要塞、堡垒”。大部分我们所知道的罗马统治时期的不列颠,都来源于凯撒的《高卢战记》,和普布里乌斯・克奈里乌斯・塔西佗的《日耳曼尼亚志》。
大约公元450年,大批的安格鲁人、撒克逊人和朱特人入侵不列颠群岛,他们定居在英格兰,把凯尔特人赶往威尔士、苏格兰和爱尔兰等周边地区。安格鲁人和撒克逊人是日耳曼部落,他们占据着易北河的两岸,也就是现在丹麦和德国的地方,这两个部族之间的语言也大致相同。从他们特有的的部族名字我们可以得知他们是非常勇敢的海上民族。古散克逊语“安古尔”意思是“钩子”,从中我们可以得知他们住在海边,以捕鱼为生。而“撒克逊”这个名字则源于“希克斯”,意思是短剑,从这个名字我们可以判断他们是坚强勇敢的战士。尽管遭到凯尔特人的奋勇抵抗,安格鲁—散克逊人最终还是将他们击败,成了不列颠群岛的新主人,也是现在英国人的祖先。
