The Saxon Wars (772-804) were a series of conflicts between the Franks under Charlemagne, who sought to conquer Saxony and convert the populace to Christianity, and the Saxons who resisted. #History #Saxons #SaxonWars #Charlemagne #HistoryFacts https://www.worldhistory.org/Saxon_Wars/

The Saxons were a Germanic people of the region north of the Elbe River stretching from Holstein (in modern-day Germany) to the North Sea. #History #Saxons #RomanBritain #Gildas #HistoryFacts https://www.worldhistory.org/Saxons/

As a child one of my favourite outings was to visit #Chester and walk on the walls, it was and remains a link with our history to walk where #Romans and #Saxons once trod.

Thinking of spoiling myself this #giftmas with a modern functional reproduction of an 8th century #Danish #waraxe good for splitting wood and #Saxons

Just a little tidbit of #Scandinavian history before I retire with my Kelda and Terry Pratchett.
June 8 793 was not the first #Viking raid. They were trading and practically cousins with the #Saxons. But history doesn't record it until after Lindisfarne.
Why?
Because religion is political, and no other visit before, attacked a gold bearing political house of god

Hi I’m new here getting ready to quit Elons Twitter, my interests are below ⬇️ #ebbsfleetunited #nonleaguefootball #ancestery #history #vikings #saxons #middleages #sports #hiking #walking #scifi and there’s probably much more, now to find my way around.

I said I'd post about my books but I haven't really (hard week at the Day Job) so I'm going back to one of my earlier ones. The Saxon Outlaw's Revenge is a romance set in post Norman Conquest Cheshire though I couldn't resist sticking some grisly scenes in (it starts with a mass execution of rebels). It was good fun to write and readers seemed to enjoy it. https://getbook.at/SaxonOutlaw
