Ancient history

What is Saxon blood?

Saxon blood refers to the genetic and cultural heritage of the Anglo-Saxon people, an ethnic group that originally lived in what is now northern Germany and southern Denmark along the North Sea coast. The Anglo-Saxons migrated to Great Britain in the 5th and 6th centuries AD and became a dominant cultural force in the British Isles.

Saxon blood typically refers to the genetic makeup and cultural traditions of the Anglo-Saxon people. It includes genetic markers, physical characteristics, and cultural traits that are associated with the Anglo-Saxons. However, it's important to note that concepts such as "blood" and "race" are socially constructed and have been used throughout history to categorize and differentiate groups of people, often based on subjective and arbitrary criteria.
