The Saxon Coast

Several regions of eastern Britain have been settled by Germanic peoples from the northern mainland of Europe. Collectively, they are called Saxons, though technically not all are from Saxony. Saxons currently hold Sussex, while the Jutes hold Kent. Angles hold the lands of Nohaut and Deira. These regions each have their own kings.   Although they are all hostile to the Cymry, the “Saxons” are also rivals, and a rough peace is maintained through a high king called a Bretwalda, who is currently King Ælle of Sussex.
