Features: Did King Arthur's Round Table come from a church altar? Was he a villain or a hero? Was mass suicide a solution to famine? Can urine be used as dish soap? How to obtain branches from heaven to treat snake bites? Can applying horse manure stop bleeding? The Saxons are one of the ancestors of modern British people. In the late Roman Empire, numerous ethnic groups flocked to the borders and the province of Britain, and the Saxons also crossed the English Channel to invade Britain during this time. In this chaotic era, not only were legends of King Arthur resisting the Saxons passed down, but also tragic songs of wars and the demise of various kingdoms, as well as amusing stories between kings and saints, warriors and poets. How the Saxons progressed from barbarism to civilization is vividly described in this book.
