HENGIST

First Saxon King in Britain. British King Vortigen was a very weak king with a weak military. The Picts and the Scots were at the Northern border with no defense that could stop them. Hengist the first Saxons to come to Briton made an offer that Vortigen couldn’t refuse. The Saxons would defend the Northern border and be given those provinces in return. The rest was history (See {617660}) with most people today thinking that the Saxons have been in Britain forever.

First Saxon King in Britain. The Saxons had come to Briton as “allies” to defend the Northern border in exchange for some Northern provinces. See {617659}. After doing so at a celebration of Britons and Saxons, the Briton nobility was murdered and Vortigern had to cede other provinces in the Midlands. The Saxons have been entrenched in Britain ever since with most people having little idea of how they first got there.
