History of Saxony

The history of Saxony is encompassing the history of modern German state of Saxony and its predecessors in the wider region of Upper Saxony, and also includes the historical overview of various medieval and early modern states named Saxony, situated in regions that initially belonged to the Old Saxony and located today mainly within boundaries of modern German states of Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt. Complex regional histories of various states and provinces that bore the Saxon name from medieval to modern times thus jointly constitute a wider history of Saxony.
