EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image, we witness the momentous arrival of the first Saxons in Britain, marking the beginning of a new era in the country's history. Circa 400 AD, as the Romans began their withdrawal from Britain after approximately 400 years of occupation, the British King found himself in dire need of military assistance to maintain order and defend against potential threats. Enter Hengist and Horsa, two renowned Saxon warriors, who offered their services to the British monarch. The Saxons, depicted here in the foreground, are shown disembarking from their ships with an air of determination and resolve. Their armor-clad figures, armed with shields and swords, exude a sense of strength and readiness for battle. The Britons, represented by the figures in the background, watch the Saxons' arrival with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. The Saxons, led by Hengist and Horsa, were not only skilled warriors but also shrewd political strategists. They would go on to play a significant role in the shaping of Britain, eventually becoming the progenitors of the English people. This pivotal moment in history marks the beginning of the Saxon settlement in Britain, leading to the eventual merging of the Saxon and Celtic cultures and the formation of the English nation. This print, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the shores of Britain as the first Saxons set foot on the land that would become their new home.
