As far as “academic” education, a very small portion of the children population had the opportunity to learn how to write and read. The reason, was because they were extremely lucky to be born in a noble family, where they were taught by their mother’s or by a private teacher. Schools were rather scarce, but the ones that run, were owned by the Christian church (BBC, 2013), and educated them in Latin. It is important to say that Christianity was the religion of the books, and the Anglo-Saxons were converted to Christianism (they were originally pagan) through Roman missionaries led by Agustine in 597 AD, and sent by Pope Gregory The Great (Lawton, n.d).
