The Saxons were a Germanic people who lived in what is now northern Germany between the Rhine and Elbe rivers during the early medieval period, eventually becoming an important region (stem duchy) within the Carolingian empire in 804. They matter historically because they were part of the broader network of Germanic peoples—including Franks, Frisians, and Angles—whose migrations, raids, and settlements shaped early medieval Europe and Britain.

I Sassoni erano un popolo germanico, insediato principalmente negli odierni stati tedeschi di Schleswig-Holstein, della Bassa Sassonia, della Sassonia-Anhalt, della Renania Settentrionale-Vestfalia e nella parte nord dei Paesi Bassi (Twente e Achterhoek). Il loro nome significa "gente di spada" e infatti furono considerati, da Carlo Magno e da alcuni storici, molto bellicosi.
