Appearence and tactics of early 5th century Saxons.

[Aryaman2]

BTW I wonder, is there a political agenda behind this discussion? I don´t mean here in our forum, but in general. It seems to me that after other peoples, like Irish or Welsh, constructing national identities around a Celtic past, English, used to be just that, has their identity absorbed in the "British" concept, and some are now trying to build a different English identity around a Germanic origin. If that is the case, I don´t object at all (after all I am not British, it is not my business) but I do object to dubious historical arguments, like those linking material culture (archaeological evidence) to any race.
