🔴 📖 **Chapter 7 Constructing Early Anglo-Saxon Identity in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles**

"_The combination of mythological arrival and conquest annals with the strategic inclusion of genealogies allow the annals as a whole to present all the kingdoms and sub-kingdoms of Britannia as important members of a larger family. They show the supremacy of the Germanic incomers over the native Britons, and they focus on the House of Wessex almost from the outset, showing the West Saxons to be the natural leaders of this group._"

🔴 **The New Roman Empire: A History of Byzantium by Anthony Kaldellis.**

"_He reprehends the terms ‘Byzantine’ and ‘Byzantium’ as the fraudulent legacy of 19th-century scholars determined to claim the heritage of Roman antiquity for (North-) Western Europe, dispossessing its rightful heirs and smearing them, perversely, with tropes of Oriental despotism invented by the Greeks of the classical age. Save in the book’s subtitle, a commercial concession, Kaldellis restricts the offending word to historiographical contexts._"

🔴 **My family and other Nazis**

"_Large parts of Austrian society still felt strong ties to national socialism, an aggressive Greater German ideology that rejected the notion of Austria as a separate country with its own history and mentality, and cultivated a deeply rooted antisemitism and anti-Slavic sentiment. My family, like many others, held on to their belief in Hitler and the Third Reich until they died._"
