What is a Saxon?

Career: Saxon

The Saxons were a group of Germanic tribes that originated in what is now northern Germany. During the early Middle Ages, they migrated to parts of Great Britain, where they played a significant role in the formation of the Anglo-Saxon culture and the English nation. The Saxons are known for their influence on language, law, and customs in medieval England. Today, 'Saxon' often refers to the historical people and their descendants, rather than a specific modern-day occupation.
