What is Anglo-Saxon Verse Anthology about?

The poem Widsith is presented as the words of a travelling minstrel named Widsith recounting the Germanic peoples and rulers he has visited. He lists the tribes and their leaders, recounting gifts received from kings. Scholars believe parts were later additions by monks, but the original likely contained lists of tribes and rulers to stir memories of heroic tales for audiences.
