Search Results - Saxons

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

The Saxons (Latin Saxones) were a confederation of Old Germanic tribes. Their modern-day descendants in Lower Saxony and Westphalia and other German states are considered ethnic Germans (the state of Sachsen is not inhabited by ethnic Saxons; the state of Sachsen-Anhalt though in its northern and western parts); those in the eastern Netherlands are considered to be ethnic Dutch; those in north eastern Belgium are considered to be ethnic Flemish; those in northern France are considered to be ethnic French; and those in Southern England ethnic English (see Anglo-Saxons). Their earliest known area of settlement is Northern Albingia, an area approximately that of modern Holstein.

Saxons participated in the Germanic settlement of Britain during and after the 5th century. It is unknown how many migrated from the continent to Britain though estimates for the total number of Germanic settlers vary between 10,000 and 200,000.[1] Since the 18th century, many continental Saxons have settled other parts of the world, especially in North America, Australia, South Africa, and in areas of the former Soviet Union, where some communities still maintain parts of their cultural and linguistic heritage, often under the umbrella categories "German", "Flemish", and "Dutch".

Because of international Hanseatic trading routes and contingent migration during the Middle Ages, Saxons mixed with and had strong influences upon the languages and cultures of the Scandinavian and Baltic peoples, and also upon the Polabian Slavs and Pomeranian West Slavic peoples.

First mentioned by the Ancient Greek geographer Ptolemy, the pre-Christian settlement of the Saxon people originally covered an area a little more to the northwest, with parts of the southern Jutland Peninsula, Old Saxony and small sections of the eastern Low Countries (Belgium and the Netherlands). During the 5th century AD, the Saxons were part of the people invading the Romano-British province of Britannia. One of the other tribes was the Germanic Angles, whose name, taken together with that of the Saxons led to the formation of the modern term, Anglo-Saxons.

2. Burials Through Time - Funeral Directors of the Past - The Saxons
September 03, 2009

The term Anglo-Saxon is a relatively modern one. It refers to settlers from the German regions of Angeln and Saxony, who made their way over to Britain after the fall of the Roman Empire around AD 410. The Anglo-Saxon settlers were effectively their own masters in a new land and did little to keep the legacy of the Romans alive, bringing their own religious beliefs, although the arrival of Saint Augustine in 597 converted most of the country to Christianity. Early Saxon burial rites included both cremation and inhumation cemeteries, featuring a large number of grave goods. Cremation ... (read more)

From the late fifth century to the early sixth century is the setting for a beloved British figure of some romantic significance.

19. The Frankish-Papal Alliance and It's Consequences
May 04, 2007

The creation of the Papal-Frankish Alliance of 751 came from three major developments in the Christian church, the first being the Anglo-Saxon missionary work in Europe. This of course occurred with the conversion of the Anglo-Saxons themselves. When the Romans left Britain in 410 AD they left a mess; the Celtic peoples were defenseless, illiterate, and with no organization. A migration period (approx. 445-600) included Saxons, Angles, and Jutes, who were the most un-Roman, purely Germanic peoples of all the invaders of the Empire. With these migrations most, if not all, Roman culture disa... (read more)

22. London - Let's Take a Look Back In Time
August 18, 2006

London has such a long and varied history that’s it’s difficult to summarise it for you quickly, but I’ll have a go. London was founded in AD 43 by a bunch of Romans, who built a small settlement on the River Thames and called it Londinium. When they left, however, the town descended into chaos, and by the 5th century it was almost completely gone. In the year 600, London was rebuilt by Anglo-Saxons, but then Vikings invaded in 851 and razed it to the ground once again. It wasn’t until King Alfred the Great re-established London in 886 that it really got started. In 1066, Will... (read more)

Anyone with a German name was suspect and subject to harassment. The American Defense Society announced that a German-American, "unless known by years of association to be absolutely loyal, should be treated ... (read more)

The Prophet Ezekiel informed his audience that it wasn't God's Will for them to suffer and die, but rather that they would turn from their self-destructive ways and live rather than suffer national defeat and deportation and they were only entertained by such an announcement (Ezekiel 18:30-32). For years I have written letters to The Jerusalem Post and elsewhere, decrying the Israeli government's submission to foreign authorities, sacrificing their national security due to unbearable...
