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".
