[h2]RESEARCH & RESOURCES[/h2][i]You don't have to use all of these, or even any of them if you find sources that suit you better. However, I realize this is considerably more intensive than most Free RPs and I don't want to leave you with your head spinning. This some of what I'm using to create this RP and they may provide you with some sparks of inspiration as they did me. It may be wise to check back here from time to time, as I plan to add more links as I find them. If you find another resource you liked or found interesting, PM me, and I'll add it here so it can help others too![/i]

	[b]NAMING[/b]
Anglo-Saxon names were typically Old English words, compound or singular, and often they combine elements of the parents names. I've also included resources for Viking, Briton, and Celtic names below.

	[b]HISTORY[/b]
Wikipedia sources denoted with a [i]W[/i]; those article typically cover all or most of Anglo-Saxon history, but only general information and events before the year 806AD is relevant here.
