[quote:Anonymous Coward 19045680:MV8xOTQzMjU5XzMyNTU1Njk3XzVBOTVFQUMz] [quote:ChivalryKnight:MV8xOTQzMjU5XzMyNTU1NjA1XzY1NTkzMEE2] It refers to the Biblical sons of Isaac or the 12 sons of Jacob (his son) These Saxons migrated after the Assyrians took them captive to NW Europe and were the "lost" 10 tribes that set up the Christian culture of NW Europe. Christ when He walked the earth explicitly told folks he was sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel (the lost tribes) and His sheep would hear his voice.... Thus... about 1/10'th of the earth's land mass, NW Europe was Christianized, built cathedrals, etc. Pretty exciting lineage to be part of.... not perfect, but it's my heritage. [/quote] Interesting. Mine too. Where are you from ? [/quote]
