Saxons
The
Saxons (, , , , , , ) were a group of
Germanic tribes first mentioned as living near the
North Sea coast of what is now
Germany, in late Roman times. They were soon mentioned as raiding and settling in many north sea areas, as well as pushing south inland towards the
Franks. Significant numbers settled in large parts of
Great Britain in the early
Middle Ages and formed part of the merged group of
Anglo-Saxons who eventually organised the first united
Kingdom of England. Many Saxons however remained in
Germania, where they resisted the expanding
Frankish Empire through the leadership of the semi-legendary Saxon hero,
Widukind.
