...comparable in some way to other empires such as the Roman, Macedonian, British, etc.

I'm certainly no expert on empire building, nor am I extremely well informed about late Anglo-Saxon history, but I got curious about a hypotetical period in history after Rome and before the early modern era involving a large Empire.

I know people have done this with the Normans (and lord knows there's no shortage of Byzantine Imperial history both on this site or actually in OTl) and since the Normans have an important connection in our history to Anglo-Saxons and Anglo-Saxons have an important historical connection both to the Roman Empire and to the British Empire I figured I'd see if it's been done - of if it's possible.

Obviously the Anglo-Saxons need a more seafaring edge, a unified island, and the resources and will to conquer and expand but is this possible?

If so, AHC/WI: An Anglo-Saxon Empire?

Any POD is allowed but if it's before 1066 I just ask that you please keep the events between the POD and 1066 somewhat recognizable to OTL (I.e. No surviving Rome, etc.)

Bonus points will be awarded for each subsequent century you can describe - that is, of course, if this is at all feasible.

Thanks, folks!
