Orphan date February 2009 Sagar is a name of AngloSaxon language AngloSaxon origin. It is a patronymic name, hence most if not all people of this surname descend from a man or even a number of men known as Sagar. The name most likely derives from the diphthongal AngloSaxon word S gar , meaning sea spear . Presumably it denotes a maritime warrior of the type that either commenced invasions of Sub Roman Britain Britain in the fifth century or were invited as mercenaries in the political and military vacuum created with the final departure of Roman Empire Roman troops. Spelling variations include Sager, Seegar, Sigar, Segar, Seger, Saker, Sakar and many more. In AngloSaxon England, the name was found in several areas, but predominantly in the northern areas of England Yorkshire and Lancashire which were part of the Angle Kingdom of Northumbria . The Angles largely settled in the areas known as East Anglia , Mercia and Northumbria in the fifth century. The Angles were the dominant Germanic peoples Germanic tribe in the AngloSaxon settlement of Britain, and gave their name to the English. Originally from Angeln in Schleswig Holstein , a list of their kings has been preserved in the AngloSaxon Chronicle and other sources . The Domesday Book records a man named Sagar as a Anglo Saxons Saxon landowner in Devon in 1086. It also records a man called Segarus, no less a Latinised version of the name, holding land in Essex at around the same time. By far the largest concentration of the surname Sagar however is found within a 50 km radius in the Lancashire Yorkshire border area.

The AngloSaxon Federation of America , founded in 1933, is the oldest and largest group in the British Israelism movement. In 1928, Howard B. Rand , a lawyer and Bible student, started conducting a small AngloSaxon group in his house. In 1933, he met W. J. Cameron , the founder of the newly created AngloSaxon Federation , and himself started the AngloSaxon Federation of America . The group asserts that the Bible contains the past, present, and future history of Israel. It determines exactly which group should take the name Israel based on which nation or race best fulfills the promises God made in the Old Testament . The Bible states that Israel was to be a powerful nation located to the northwest of Palestine that holds a great heathen empire in domination, is the chief missionary power in the world, and immune to defeat in war. It also has a group which split itself off from the parent Israel to become a great nation in its own right. They conclude that the only nation which meets the above criteria was Great Britain , and, by extension, the United States which separated itself from Great Britain later. By the 1930s and 1940s, several groups affiliated with the federation could be found throughout the United States. However, by the mid 1970s, most of the group s membership had either died or left the group. Its magazine, Destiny Magazine , ceased publication in 1969, with the foundation publishing from that point a much more modest monthly newsletter. The group does still remain active, publishing books and accepting new members. See also Destiny Publishers References Lewis, James R. The Encyclopedia of Cults, Sects, and New Religions .

Refimprove date November 2011 File The Pound.jpg thumb A pound 20 shillings 240 silver pennies formerly The pound was a unit of account in Anglo Saxons Anglo Saxon England , equal to 240 silver History of the English penny c. 600 1066 pennies and equivalent to one pound mass Tower pound pound weight of silver. It evolved into the modern British currency , the pound sterling . The accounting system of 12 pence 1 shilling , 20 shillings 1 pound was adopted from that introduced by Charlemagne to the Francia Frankish Empire see French livre . King Offa of Mercia is credited with causing the widespread adoption of the silver penny and the pound as a unit of account. The pound in use in Offa s day, also known as the Saxon pound or moneyers pound , remained essentially unchanged until 1526, by which time it had come to be known as the Tower pound. In 1526, the Tower pound was replaced by the English troy weight troy pound , which was, by law, equal to exactly 16 15 of a Tower pound. The Tower pound thus had a mass of 5400 English troy grains, or approximately 349.9 grams. The Tower pound was divided into 12 ounces, each ounce into 20 pennyweights, and each pennyweight into 32 grains. There were thus 640 grains to an ounce, 7680 grains to a pound. These grains were of a type known as the wheat grain, as opposed to the much larger grain of the troy and avoirdupois systems, sometimes known as the barleycorn. The Anglo Saxon Saxon moneyer s Tower pound remained in use for silver coinage in England until 1344, and for weighing gold and silver until 1526. ref cite book last Zupko first Ronald Edward author link Ronald Edward Zupko title British Weights and Measures A History from Antiquity to the Seventeenth Century publisher University of Wisconsin Press year 1977 isbn 978 0299073404 page 11 ref See also Pound sterling References reflist Pound currency Category Currencies of the United Kingdom Category Medieval currencies Category Anglo Saxon England Money unit stub UK hist stu ... more details
