How do you say the month of March in Anglo-Saxon?
Rheda (mythology) In Anglo-Saxon paganism, Rheda (Latinized from Old English "*Hrêðe" or "*Hrêða", possibly meaning "the famous" or "the victorious") is a goddess connected with the month '"Rhedmonth"' (from Old English "*Hrēþmōnaþ"). Rheda is attested solely by Bede in his 8th century work "De temporum ratione". While the name of the goddess appears in Bede's Latin manuscript as "Rheda", it is reconstructed into Old English as "*Hrēþe" and is sometimes modernly anglicized as Hretha (also "Hrethe" or "Hrede"). "Hrēþmōnaþ" is one of three events (apart from the days of the week) that refer to deities in the Anglo-Saxon calendar—the other two being "Ēostermōnaþ" and "Mōdraniht".
Old English literature Old English literature or Anglo-Saxon literature, encompasses literature written in Old English, in Anglo-Saxon England from the 7th century to the decades after the Norman Conquest of 1066. "Cædmon's Hymn", composed in the 7th century, according to Bede, is often considered the oldest extant poem in English, whereas the later poem, "The Grave" is one of the final poems written in Old English, and presents a transitional text between Old and Middle English. The "Peterborough Chronicle" can also be considered a late-period text, continuing into the 12th century.
