Most people don't realise that there were a fair number of saxons in Britain even before the romans pulled out. They had been hired as mercenaries to guard the coast from saxons sea raids. Evidently before the vikings made their appearence the saxons were the sea raiders that the coastal folks of western europe feared.

% Homer returns in time for the day's featured attraction: "The Poke
% of Zorro." The hero of the film fights the Three Musketeers. He
% runs all three of them through with his sword.
Musketeer:Sacre bleu! The deadly poke of Zorro! [all three
collapse]
[the Man in the Iron Mask attacks Zorro. Zorro
slices a "Z" in the man's shirt]
Man:What? "N?" What does "N" stand for?
Zorro:No, no. It's a "Z." I am Zorro. "Z" for Zorro! I
have come to return King Arthur to the throne.
Bart:[in audience] It's a history lesson come to life!
Lisa:No, it isn't. It's totally inaccurate.
Bart:Quiet! Here come the ninjas. [fighting noises are
heard from the screen]
-- Artistic liberties, "E-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt)"
% Zorro gets a respite from fighting to seduce the movie's heroine.
% He undresses her by adroitly slicing layers of her clothing with his
% sword.
Lady:What part of "stop cutting my dress off" don't you
understand? [her dress falls off]
Zorro:[laughs, then notices something cut into the lady's slip]
"SP?" The Scarlet Pimpernel.
Lady:We're just, uh, friends.
Bart:[in audience] She's lying! Slice her head off!
Zorro:Your honor has been insulted. This will not stand.
[leaps out the window]
Homer:[in audience] Oh, you don't want to get Zorro mad. [tips
Milk Dud box, dribbling butter on Marge's dress]
Marge:You're pouring hot butter on my leg.
Homer:Sh, sh, sh.
-- "E-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt)"
% A night at the opera. (Wait, hasn't that been done in another
% movie? Oh, well.) As the fat lady sings, the Scarlet Pimpernel
% enjoys the show from his reserved balcony. He is rudely interrupted
% by Zorro.
Zorro:Sir, I demand satisfaction. I challenge you to a
duel.
[slaps the Scarlet Pimpernel with his glove. The
opera audience gasps]
Do you accept, or are you a coward?
Pimpernel:[gets up] I ... am a coward! [runs away]
[movie audience cheers]
Homer:[in real audience] Woo! You go, Zorro!
King Arthur:I, King Arthur, declare Zorro the new King of
England!
Zorro:Yes!
[the King tosses Zorro his crown. He catches it on
his sword. The credits roll]

Nah, this thread doesn't make any sense at all. Oh, the saxons acted bad and didn't abide to th e UN charters, well, neither did the romans, greeks, egypts, inkas, mayas, chinese, japanese, mongols, vikings and all of those I don't know the name of but was pretty busy in attacking their neighbours.
Claiming that the saxons should be considered nazi's on that behalf is just plain redicule.

The really interesting link between King Arthur and Robin Hood is that a very large portion of William's army were Bretons and that William was half Breton, so in a way the Norman conquest was payback.

Just because romans, greeks, egypts, inkas, mayas, chinese, japanese, mongols, vikings and all of those you don't know the name of didn't abide to the UN charters it does not mean the Saxons have an excuse for not caring about the UN.

Don't forget the jews. I just re-read the book of Josua and certainly think that guy should be sent to Den Haag immediately.

How could they have been "anglo-romans" if the Angles hadn't even arrived in Britain yet? Perhaps they could have been called britano-romans, or celto-romans.

They should send all those Saxon guys to Gitmo. Or Ulster in this case.
