Saxon nobles were referred to as "thegns." Thegns were landholding warriors who served a king or nobleman and were key figures in the Anglo-Saxon social hierarchy. They held significant power and responsibility, often managing estates and providing military service in exchange for land and protection.

What did Robin hood do to the rich Saxon noblemen travelling along the road?

Robin Hood is a fictional character, although he may be based on one or more real medieval outlaws. There were no "rich Saxon noblemen" at the time Robin Hood is said to have lived. The Norman conquerors of England confiscated all Saxon lands and the disinherited and impoverished Saxon nobles emigrated to other countries such as Scotland and Russia. A few Saxon noblewomen were married to Norman nobles (Henry I took a Saxon lady as his first queen), but in general the entire Saxon nobility were obliterated soon after 1066.
