The Saxons were fierce warriors who raided and settled across Britain and northern Europe from the 5th to 11th centuries. Renowned for their brutal close combat and distinctive round shields, Saxon warbands were a formidable force in the Dark Ages, clashing with Romano-Britons, Vikings, and Normans. On the tabletop, they bring a historically rich and visually striking force to Dark Age wargames.
