Their earliest known area of settlement is Northern Albingia, an area approximately that of modern Holstein.

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; and those in Southern England ethnic English. 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.
- The Saxons had been in operation months before Series 5 began, which was three years after the events of Series 4 (The Sword in the Stone). Queen Annis proved this when she mentioned to Arthur that Saxons had began raiding villages months ago (Arthur's Bane). Arthur asked whether it was to raise an army but Annis responded it was to use them to find something in Ismere (The Diamair). It is unknown whether this is how the Saxons were amassed- this trait was in the Southrons, the army Morgana was previously allied with, who stormed villages searching for recruits. (The Hunter's Heart) The Saxons heavily characterised bandits, performing raids on villages in kingdoms to find men to help them achieve Morgana's goal in finding the Diamair. They were ruthless,willing to harm innocent people in achieving Morgana's goals. In Arthur's Bane, a camp in Asgorath was raided to find slaves to help find the Diamair, and Lochru, a seer, was left behind, dying. Morgana also paid good money for slaves to be handed over- Ragnor was a slave-trader who managed to capture Arthur and Merlin, amongst other unknown individuals. Camps were also raided in The Kindness of Strangers in the hunt for Alator, to find the true identity of Emrys, and in The Drawing of the Dark, where Camelot knights were killed for cargo that was bound for Camelot. This is also where Kara, the first female mentioned as a Saxon, was spotted. Merlin, seeing Mordred let Kara go, suspected Mordred was allied with the Saxons, before realising he had personal connections with Kara before she fell in league with Morgana and the Saxons.

- 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 only in its northwestern 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.

- The Saxons were one of many barbarian Germanic tribes that occupied Europe north of the borders of the Roman Empire. While the bulk of the Saxons remained on the European continent, an army of Saxon warriors and some of their dependents conquered and settled in what had been Roman Britain (today's England) in the 4th and 5th centuries AD. The Saxons' most likely original settlement is accepted to have been Northern Albingia, a territory roughly that of present day Holstein. This general region additionally incorporated the plausible country of the Angles. Saxons, alongside the Angles and other mainland Germanic tribes, took part in the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain amid and after the fifth century. The Romano-Celtic indigenous peoples tended to describe all of the barbarian newcomers as Saxons. It is obscure how many Saxons actually settled in , however evaluates for the aggregate number of Anglo-Saxon "pioneers" are around 200,000. Despite the linguistic change, English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish ancestry is overwhelmingly that of a the founding Celtiberian population. People in the British Isles may speak a Germanic language heavily influenced by French and Latin, but they are genetically Celtic. Their closest genetic relatives are the people living in Galicia in northern Spain. The pagan Saxons who remained on the continent were subjected to a general slaughter by the Latin Christian Frankish King Charles the Great or Charlemagne. he settled some of the survivors east of the Elbe as part of a general struggle against the pagan Slavs. In the Middle Ages, Saxons blended with and had solid impacts upon the dialects and societies of the North Germanic, Baltic people groups, Finnic people groups, Polabian Slavs and Pomeranian West Slavic individuals.
