Introduction

Greetings fellow Saxons in this year 600 after christ.

We hope this message gets to you in these times of uncertainty.....the seas are rough and many Picts and Celts wait to ambush our messenger. We Saxons led by Cerdic search this fertoile land of South Mercia for a place to settle, but we are now in need of moer people from the homeland of Saxony. Especially nowe the king of Mercia has granted us grazing rights for 70 swine to graze his own forests.

Your help would be gratefully received as our cause is juste and much depends upon us.

Let us tell you our needs and hope that you can help us!
