The Saxons in England
One part of the Saxon tribe moved from northern Germany to Britain in the fifth century AD.
These Saxons created kingdoms in the south of Britain, namely:
Essex (East Saxons), in old English Ēastseaxna Rīce,
Sussex (South Saxons), in old English Sūþseaxna Rīce,
and Wessex (West Saxons), in old English Westseaxna Rīce.

The Saxons in Germany
The other half of the Saxons remained settled in Germany and expanded from northern Germany all the way to Bohemia in the south east.
The three German regions named after the Saxons are:
Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony), in northern Germany,
Sachsen-Anhalt (Saxony Anhalt), in central Germany,
and Sachsen (Saxony), in the south east of the country.
