Yes. There were different areas of the Middle Ages called Saxony. The Saxons were a group of people who lived in northern German in the Middle Ages. They occupied a large part of northern Germany, and were very warlike. They fought against Charlemagne for years, until he subdued them and forced them to become Christians.

Some of the Saxons had already migrated to Britain before this time, and were part of the ruling culture of England.

In the 10th century, duchies were granted in the Holy Roman Empire for Saxony. These included lands of the Saxons, but also other lands in central Germany which had dukes of Saxon descent. So Saxony of modern Germany is rather far from the northern German coastal areas where the Saxons originated.
