SAXONS
Saxons
The Saxons were a confederation of Germanic tribes on the North German Plain, some of who conquered large parts of Great Britain in the early Middle Ages and formed part of the merged group of Anglo-Saxons that would eventually carve out the first united Kingdom of England. Most Saxons remained in Germany, however, and resisted the expanding Frankish Empire through the leadership of the semi-legendary Saxon hero, Widukind.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Saxons
