What kind of surname is Galey?

First found amongst the ancient records of Yorkshire, the proud and noble English surname of Galey strides boldy forth through the withering sands of time from it's origins with the mighty Anglo-Saxon tribes who once ruled all of Britain. It is a name for a galleyman or rower. That means that it is an occupational surname, like herd, maker, smith, or wright.


Where was the place where nobles were stripped of their titles and their land was siezed?

There were nobles stripped of their titles all over Europe, especially after failed revolts. But the most widespread action of this kind was probably under William the Conqueror, who took the titles and land from nearly all of the Anglo Saxon nobility. There were exceptions, but very few. Interestingly, Lady Godiva was one of the few, and was probably the most famous of them.


What role did Saint Augustine play in Anglo-Saxon history?

The Catholic Church has been in this country since some few years after the Crucifiction. It was a player in the development of the faith of the Catholic Church world wide! It was known as the Celtic Church, in history, because the main group in this country was and still is Celtic! At some time around the fifth century a struggle broke out between the Celts and the Saxons for paramount control. We understand the Saxons were mainly pagan and in the midst of the war, S.Gregory the Great sent Augustine as a missionary to the Saxons. He must have been a very brave man to traverse Europe in this cause, but he was not a very wise one, indeed he appears arrogant! He landed in Kent and was met by a Catholic Bishop and was given a Catholic Church belonging to the Celts. He met the British Bishops near Bristol and was quite rude towards them and alienated them. he wanted to be their Chief and had only just been made a bishop himself, if indeed he was at that time! The role he played of ,'converting the Anglo Saxons, as strengthened by the King, who married to a Gallic Christian ,'converted,' and his subjects on the principle of one turns all must. It was success of a kind. After Augustine died there was an upsurge of paganism and two war chiefs, one British [Penda,] and a Saxon ravaged the Country slaughtering Christians of any race Celt or Anglo Saxon. All but one of Augustine's Bishops did a runner and left for the Continent. Britain was reconverted by a mixture of British, Irish and Scot's endevour. All from the British Church, Augustine's role with his one remaning accolyte has to be viewed from this aspect!

What is the origin of compensation laws?

Modern-day compensation law likely began in Britain.During the Anglo Saxon period in British history, blood feuds were a common occurrence.When a family member was killed or injured, the victim's family usually sought revenge on the family of the perpetrator (by killing or inflicting injury). And then revenge was sought by that family again and so on, thus creating an endless cycle of violence.However the monarch saw that this was a problem and passed a law called the Weregild Law (or Weregeld as it is sometimes spelt). Under Weregild law, if you injured someone, you had to pay them compensation. Or if you killed someone, you had to pay their family compensation. This is believed to be one of the origins of the modern compensation laws that we have today.There are, of course, various earlier cases of compensation being paid to to people throughout many civilisations. But it's believed that the first law of its kind didn't exist until the Anglo-Saxon Weregild laws in Britain.
