Saxons



The Saxons have been confirmed to appear in Series 5. The details of their physical appearance is yet unclear, but it has been confirmed they share similar characteristics with other enemy guards, in that they fight using swords. It has also been confirmed they will appear in a forest, and will be in the first episodes of Series 5. (Block 1 was the first to be filmed, and an actor reported at this time having been filming this role)

The flags of the Saxons can be seen in the video to the left. The video presumably depicts a great battle that will appear between the Saxons and Camelot. Involved in the battle will be Arthur, and his sword Excalibur, a diguised Merlin, Morgana, and Mordred who will presumably kill Arthur, and die doing this. Emrys will overpower Morgana, as seen in the prophecy, who is begging for help.

In the legend, the Saxons were enemies of King Arthur and invaded Britain. The white dragon also stood for the Saxons, while the red dragon stood against it, presumably for Camelot. The producers have stated that they will take the legend of the white dragon (Aithusa) vs the red dragon (Kilgharrah), but with a twist.
