Anglo-Scandinavian culture

Anglo-Scandinavian culture refers to the shared and overlapping traditions, values, and historical influences resulting from interactions between the Anglo-Saxons of England and the Scandinavian Vikings during the early medieval period. This cultural blend is evident in language, legal systems, folklore, architecture, and social practices. It shaped modern aspects of northern European identity and contributed to the development of English society, music, and literature. The integration also brought a mix of pagan and Christian beliefs, fostering a unique cultural mosaic that continues to influence the art, customs, and historical perspectives of regions in the UK, Scandinavia, and beyond.
