The features of Anglo-Saxon culture are the following:
- a society organized into warrior tribes: Anglo-Saxon people were divided into tribes, with each tribe having its own ruler, or king. If you only take a look at Beowulf, you will see that Hrothgar and Beowulf come from different tribes, however, both of them are Anglo-Saxons.
- an emphasis on gift-giving and hospitality: when an Anglo-Saxon warrior comes to visit another tribe/another person, it is important to bring them gifts to thank them for their hospitality. On the other hand, the person you are visiting has to do everything in their power to make you feel at home.
- a mixture of pagan and Christian traditions: at this time, Christianity hasn't yet taken control over Britain completely, so its tribes were usually pagan (believed in many gods). However, with Christianity spreading rapidly all over the island, Anglo-Saxons assimilated it into their own pagan religion..
