The vikings were not involved in the battle of Hastings. After the attack at Stamford bridge up north, the vikings went back home. it was only the Saxons and the Normans who were involved. The Normans were however descended from Viking invaders of France, "Nor-th-men", and the battle of Stamford Bridge certainly softened up Harold's Anglo-Saxons for Hastings.

The tribes making up the Anglo Saxons included Angles, Saxons, Jutes, and a smaller number of Frisians.
English. Look up the Anglo-Saxons and the Celts.
The members of three tribes, the Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes, made up the majority of those who invaded and conquered Roman Britain and lager became know as the Anglo-Saxons. However, smaller numbers of people from other Germanic tribes also participated in this migration and conquest. And some members of all these tribes remained in Continental Europe and followed other paths.
The Anglo-Saxons' hairstyles varied depending on their tribe. Some tribes tied their hair up in a knot at the side of their head. Others allowed their hair to grow very long, until they killed an enemy.
German and English are both members of the Germanic language family, which means they share a common ancestor. As a result, they have similarities in grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure. However, they are not mutually intelligible, meaning speakers of one language cannot easily understand the other without prior exposure or learning.

The English language came from German. Read up on the Anglo-Saxons invading the Celts. England used to belong to the Celts (Irish/Scottish) but then the Anglo-Saxons (the Germans) invaded. (This was before the English language.) They called their new land Angleland. Later, after they created the English language, they re-named it England.

After the Anglo-Saxons conquered Britain, they set up a social hierarchy in their new land. This was known as The Germanic Comitatus and was made up of men who served a lord with loyalty and selflessly fought for him. Exile away from their Lord was a punishment and exile and outlawry were looked upon as the most tragic fates that could befall them. Thus, poems like â??The Wifeâ??s Lamentâ??, which is about a wifeâ??s exile away from her husband and lord coincides with Anglo-Saxon `feelings on exile.
