The Saxons (Latin: Saxones) were a confederation of Old Germanic tribes. Their modern-day descendants in Saxony are considered ethnic Germans; those in the eastern Netherlands are considered to be ethnic Dutch; those in north eastern Belgium are considered to be ethnic Flemish; and those in southern England ethnic English (see Anglo-Saxons).
