The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle was created to document the history of the Anglo-Saxon people in England. Compiled in the late 9th century, it served as a record of significant events, including battles, reigns of kings, and societal changes. The Chronicle aimed to provide a sense of identity and continuity for the Anglo-Saxon community, preserving their culture and history for future generations. It also functioned as a tool for political propaganda, highlighting the achievements of rulers and the nation.
The Anglo-Saxon kings were typically chosen through a combination of hereditary succession and the approval of noblemen or the Witan, an assembly of the ruling elite. While the crown often passed within a ruling family, the Witan had the authority to endorse or reject a candidate, especially if there were disputes over legitimacy or leadership qualities. This process allowed for both continuity and the possibility of change in leadership based on the consensus of powerful nobles.
