Best Answer

The Saxons, Franks, Jutes and other Germanic tribes of north Germany and southern Denmark began to mount pirate raids against the Roman province of Britannia in the 4th century AD (the 300s). These attacks led to the construction of a new chain of large Roman forts around the east and south-east coasts of Britain, which became known as the "Saxon Shore".

The Saxons began raiding England in the late 4th century. They arrived as part of the larger migration of Germanic tribes to the island and gradually established their presence in the region, eventually forming several Anglo-Saxon kingdoms in the 5th and 6th centuries.
