🔴 📖 **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._"
