Talk:Saxon people

Saxons spred throughout northern Germany. You are confusing the position of the political unit and the ethnic unit.
You are correct inasmuch as the modern bundesland of Saxony is not Historically saxon, but you may want to note its original name "Meissen".
History of the Saxons should note that they were identified with the ancient Rauthingi, and took their later name from the type of shot-sword or "Sahs" that they carried.
You should mention the defeat of the Saxon kingdom by the Francs after the wars between those groups.
Saxon = Joke Account
THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW...
lmao... Saxon is NOT a Joke Account ~Amber~
Yes it is. Haven't you ever read his posts on the GameFAQs Message Boards? The only reason why you said that is either because you have never heard of GameFAQs, or happens to be Saxon himself.
this page is a little confused in its narrative, and especially the tense usage. can we have some editing on it please?
Use of Saxon, Angle or Anglo-Saxon
There are pages for Anglo-Saxon, Angles and Saxons. There is some confusion, as there is in history. But lets make an effort to differentiate. I would like to suggest that Anglo-Saxon is used as the default case, unless there is a good reason to refer solely to Saxons or Angles. --Dumbo1 00:38, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
There is more than enough reason to have a seperate entry for the Saxon's here- the word Anglo-Saxon is connected to the Germanic people of Britain. The Saxon who remained on continental Europe played an important role in the history of their region. Anglo-Saxon refers to a different people. This article should be more concerned with the history of the Saxons in their original homeland, before and after some migrated to Britain. --212.82.166.162 10:13, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
