The Anglo-Saxon world — its language, its laws, its aristocracy — was dismantled within a generation. This 11oz accent mug takes that moment and turns it into a daily statement: bold knotwork design, sharp type, and a protest rooted in a thousand years of history. Not about modern politics. About the original invasion. Start every morning on the Saxon side of history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e11oz white ceramic body with coloured interior and handle for bold contrast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicrowave-safe ceramic for quick reheats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDishwasher-safe glossy finish for easy cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComfortable C-shaped handle for an easy, secure grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead- and BPA-free print with vibrant, long-lasting colour reproduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in 9 colours: Black, Navy, Pink, Red, Light Blue, Orange, Purple, Yellow, Light Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"min-width: 360px;\" id=\"size-guide\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"color: #000000; font-weight: 500; text-align: left; font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e11oz\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #525252; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed;\"\u003eHeight, in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #525252; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed;\"\u003e3.78\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #525252; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed;\"\u003eDiameter, in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 10px; color: #525252; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid #ededed;\"\u003e3.23\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDishwasher safe — top rack recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOr hand wash with warm water and dish soap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Norman Conquest?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1066, Duke William of Normandy invaded England, defeated King Harold II at the Battle of Hastings, and replaced the Anglo-Saxon ruling class with Norman French nobility.
