Anglo Saxon Culture and introductions
Hello guys,
My Google-Fu isn't working on this--does anyone know how Saxons handled introductions? What I'm writing is set in about 876 CE, and while I've found plenty to suggest that shaking hands was around then, did the Saxons in particular do this? For context, I have a character who's just been enslaved by a Viking raiding party, and he's meeting another slave, of Roman Briton descent. Is this plausible? Thank you in advance.
