Description

"Armour is for the weak! These men are swifter and deadlier without it."

Arguably the first time the 'Saxones' - an aggressive Germanic tribe - was mentioned was by the Egyptian writer Claudius Ptolemy in 'Geographia', during the 2nd century AD. At the time they were thought to occupy land to the north of the Lower Elbe river, where modern-day Hamburg stands today. The Emperor Julian mentioned the 'Saxones' again, in AD356, during a speech against his rival, Magnentius, with whom they had allied. In the 3rd century pressure on the Roman Empire's northern frontier due to alarmingly-frequent Saxon raids led to dedicated defence of the 'Saxon Shore' on both sides of the English Channel. Following the collapse of the Western Empire in the 5th century, several branches of Saxons, along with their neighbours the Angles and Jutes, migrated to the former Roman province of Britannia. Over the ensuing years, they settled there in large numbers, eventually becoming known as the 'English' and the place, 'England'.
