It was in the late tenth century that the Old English word rice , which had previously meant ‘powerful’, took on the new meaning of ‘wealthy’. To be powerful in Æthelred’s England was to be rich .
Some very basic elements of Roman social organization may have been adopted by the Saxons – the boundaries of existing fields, for example, would have survived the collapse and would have been laborious to alter. But the cities, the industries, the commerce and the culture – all these had already gone, or were wrecked beyond repair. The broken Britain that the Saxons found consequently had no allure, and in British culture they saw nothing they wished to emulate.
