Answer: d. they were all highly educated
Explanation:
The Anglo Saxons worshipped many gods before they converted to Christianity such as Woden and Thunor. They were also fierce warriors who enjoyed fighting.
They were not always united and had small kingdoms. Each of these kingdoms had its own King who the Anglo Saxons pledged allegiance to which made them loyal to their king and people.
Anglo-Saxons were not all educated though especially after Christianity came along because Latin became a dominant language and most people could not read it.
