2025.02.02 02:01 Steelcan909 The Anglo-Saxons were not half pagan in 1066, AlternateHistoryHub seems to think they were
One of the weirdest tensions that I have when it comes to media portrayals to my area of expertise/interest is the desire to see it represented and brought into mainstream discussion, alongside an aversion to how often the history part is poorly done. The Early English period of history is particularly replete with these issues. Books/movies/television set in the time period is rarely done accurately, even the most "accurate" versions I find to be lacking (I am look at you The Northman).
I was recently faced with this tension yet again when I saw the following video on my recommendations on YouTube:
What if England Never Became French by AlternateHistoryHub
In general I'm a fan of his channel, and the side one PointlessHub, even if his command of historical fact is often thin. This video though is a topic that often gets brought up in althistory scenarios of the Middle Ages and has inspired more than one run of Crusader Kings for me, so I decided to give it a watch.
Taken as a whole I think that the video is fine. It is neither great nor terrible. I think his conclusions, writ large (England remaining in the Scandinavian cultural sphere and maintaining a separation from the continental trends and affairs of Western Europe), are reasonable. There is even some broader awareness of historical myths about England in the time period, for example at 1:22 he dispels the idea that England was a uniquely safe place from invasion, at least in the Middle Ages.
However there is one part of the video that I want to focus on.
It starts here at 4:45. The idea is that the Anglo-Saxons of the 11th century were still intertwining pagan practices in their religious beliefs/rituals. The video also uses the vegvisir to denote Germanic paganism which is a whole other can of worms... If you're not aware, that symbol dates to centuries after the Middle Ages, indeed to the modern period, and was associated with magical books and texts centuries after Christianization. The idea though that the Anglo-Saxons were practicing a syncretized and heterodox form of Christianity at this time certainly is a take.
This idea comes up a few more times in the video as well such as here at 11:00 where religion is listed among the things that the Normans imported to England after the Conquest, and the theme of religion is elaborated on starting at 14:43. Over the next few minutes of the video England is described as "recently converted" and "an island of pseudo-paganism". The end result of this proposed divergence in English religious affiliation is a schism in Northern Europe between the English church and other Northern Germanic ones and the rest of the Latin West. This whole idea is rooted in a fundamental separation of the English church with the rest of Latin Christendom that did not exist in history.
It is hard to know where to begin with this, but we can start with the idea that England had only been recently converted to Christianity. This is blatantly false. The conversion story of England is complicated for a variety of reasons, and there is a good bit of debate over how prevalent and influential Christianity was in England between the Roman collapse and the consolidation of the Anglo-Saxon Christian churches in the 8th century. There are good arguments to be made that Christian populations were preset and influential, and good arguments that Anglo-Saxon paganism successfully displaced Christianity from most of the lowland regions of the island. Guy Halsall proposes that the lowland regions of Britain had been more heavily Christianized in Roman times than is often assumed, and that this religious adherence was elided by contemporary sources. Perhaps out of a desire to fulfill religious narratives Bede and Gildas may have overlooked the still Christian populations of the soon to be English lowlands.
The more traditional narrative is that Christianity began its spread into England in the late 6th century and into the 7th Century in a two pronged approach. Missionaries from Rome spread the religion in the kingdoms of Kent, Wessex, Sussex, and more. Meanwhile in the North the Irish monastics spread their religion as well. Eventually the English Church embraced a Roman aligned version of Christianity. The story of England's conversion was admittedly an uneven one with various relapses and successes that marked the 7th century in England. Despite the efforts of syncretic figures such as Rædwæld of East Anglia or the pagan warlord Penda who ruled much of Britain at the heiht of his power, Christianity came to dominate all of the major Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. The final pagan kingdom in England, located on the Isle of Wight, was destroyed in the late 7th century. The Venerable Bede gives us a very detailed break down on the arrival and dissemination of Christianity into England in his Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis Anglorum which was written in the early 8th century. The history of the conversion of England to Christianity was written almost 300 years before the Norman Conquest. By the time of the Norman Conquest England had been been Christian for centuries, and the largest kingdoms had been Christian for nearly 350 years. England was in no sense a recently converted place. Indeed the English had become intertwined in the spread and reform of Latin Christianity in their own right. Figures such as Alcuin of York helped the Carolingian Renaissance in its development, and English missionaries had started to spread their religion into the farther reaches of Scandinavia.
One of the largest theological debates of early Medieval Christianity was the method for the calculation of the date of Easter in the Western Church. England saw a a lively debate between the Irish influenced calculation that drew on the "Insular Christian" practice and the Roman aligned system that eventually won out. While the specifics of the debate are rather arcane to delve into the major point was that the English Church was actively aligning itself with the Roman Church. This only continued moving forwards. Alfred the Great famously visited Rome as a child and heavily patronized the Church in Wessex.
With all of that said, there were sources of tension between Rome and England's church. The continued presence of slavery, a reputation for English bishops holding multiple Sees in violation of canon tradition/law, Harold Godwinson maintained two wives at the same time, and it is true that Pope Alexander II did support William's effort against England.
However, there is not any reason to suspect that there were pagan practices still continuing in England under the guise of conversion to Christianity. Bede's history, biased as he was towards the prominence of Christianity, tells the story of numerous pagan priests who abandoned their old religion in favor of Christianity. Legal and archaeological evidence from the time shows that many of the hallmarks of pagan practice in pre-Christian England, such as the consumption of horse-meat, were banned and evidence of horse consumption rapidly declined afterwards. English monarchs before the Conquest were lavish patrons of the Church, and provided lands grants, charters, and special privileges to hundreds of ecclesiastical institutions. There were deep connections between the royal family of England, its earls, and other members of society to monastic orders, churches, Church reform movements, efforts to educate priests to a higher level, and more. This is not to say that the folk practices of the English people completely changed with the advent of Christianity to the island, and there is evidence that folk practices such as propitiating local spirits with offerings of food and belief in supernatural figures such as the ælfe continued after Christianization. The idea though that the Anglo-Saxons were pseudo pagans champing at the bit to break free from the Roman Church just does not hold any water.
There are other issues in the video as well, some of this is inherently the result of the speculative nature of the video's topic. For example there is no way to actually prove if Harold Godwinson would engage in a spree of expansionism if he won the day at Hastings. Campaigns in Denmark and Ireland are entirely speculative, a campaign in Wales is more plausible to me, but I'm not here to critique that part of the video. Or the areas that I largely agree with, such as England remaining a part of the broader Scandinavian broader cultural sphere. I'm only focused on the nature of the nature of religion in Anglo-Saxon England in the 11th Century.

2025.02.02 02:01 Trendsoflife AP and H1B
USCIS has a q&a on h1b, and one of the answers imply that you can leave the U.S. while AP (i131) is lending without being considered as abandoning it. Does this make sense to you?
Q. I filed Form I-131 requesting advance parole and Form I-765 requesting employment authorization with my Form I-485. If I leave the United States before the advance parole and employment authorization are issued, will the applications be denied?
A. Departure from the United States generally will not on its own serve as a basis of denial of Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, or Form I-131, Application for Travel Documents, Parole Documents, and Arrival/Departure Records.
You may be eligible for expedited processing of your applications. We consider expedited processing of Form I-131 if you have a pressing or critical need to travel for an unexpected event, such as the need to obtain medical treatment in a limited time or the death or grave illness of a family member or close friend. Expedited processing of a travel document may also be warranted if you have a pressing or critical need to travel outside the United States for a planned event, such as a work or professional commitment, academic commitment, or personal commitment, but processing times prevent USCIS from issuing the travel document by the planned date of departure. When the need to expedite issuance of a travel document is related to a planned event, we consider whether you timely filed the Form I-131 or timely responded to a request for evidence. A desire to travel solely for vacation generally does not meet the definition of a pressing or critical need to travel. See additional information in the USCIS Policy Manual and our webpage on Expedite Requests.

2025.02.02 02:01 SpellParticular4246 Thinking about stop playing the game
I've been playing the game since its release, but I'm thinking about stopping because of the limited skins. I know it's silly, but I didn't have any money at the begining so I've always hoped they would bring some limited skins back in the future, but I guess they won't. I still like the game and all but the skins are a big part of it and it's rather frustrating as I don't really want to buy a similar skin to compensate for the limited one. I don't want any skin, I want the one related to the time I watched an fps championshiop with my brother before he passed.
I'm gonna miss the game, but that really made me upset and demotivated over the years as ranking up was never really important to me.

2025.02.02 02:01 DepthValley Owners box sign up bonus?
Has anyone signed up for owners box recently and used the deposit match?
I'm a bit confused by playthrough requirements. Do some games just require 1x? There is a part that says 4% at a time, which seems like it would be an insane play through requirement.
Any insight on the bonus or the program in general would be interesting!

2025.02.02 02:01 VirtualCapital2838 For people that drink, has that impacted how you choose who you date if so why?
Title.
I’m asking this out of curiosity and have no plans to change my habits.
So I 28(m) don’t drink and get a lot of surprised looks when I tell people that, women included.
For context I’m from a western country and there’s this assumption that guys from my ethnic/ cultural group drink.
I don’t expect a partner to not drink either since it’s very common where I’m from. But it got me thinking for those that don’t drink, does this affect who you date? If so why?
