Saxon
Saxons are Germanic warriors that hail from mainland Europe. They are seen as large, brutish invaders and are very hated by most of the population of Britain.
Most of the invading Germanic tribes that Britons refer to as "Saxons" are in fact completely separate: Saxons from Saxony, Jutes from Jutland, Angles from Britain, Franks from Francia and Frisians from Frisia are all colloquially and incorrectly referred to as "Saxons".
Saxon kings are called "cynings", while princes are called "æthelings". The Saxon equivalent of the High King of Britain is the "bretwalda", which means "Britain wielder".
