Significant 6th Century Events "Arthur defeated the Saxons"
This is much tooined in folklore, if they ocurred at all, may have ocurred in the second century rather than the fifth: and the Saxons, after all, were not defeated, but rather gained control over most of Britain.
What you say is possible, but there was such a man named Arthur who ,possibly, defeated the Saxons. He was a 5th or 6th century cheiftan who bold an assertion. What evidence there is, is very inconclusive - there may not have been any such person, and if there was, he may not have been fighting the Saxons, but rather the Picts: it is possible that the events now enshr created a string of allied clans to fight against the Saxons and to stop them from gaining control over Briton. The legend of King Arthur, however is entirely made up, and was written some seven hundred years after his death.
