Siege of the Saxons

Siege of the Saxons

"Siege of the Saxons" is a 1963 British film directed by Nathan H. Juran.

It is a historical epic, set in the time of King Arthur.

The cast includes John Laurie as Merlin, and Janette Scott.

The historical setting is very confused. It shows the Romano-British Arthur repelling an invasion of the Saxons, but Arthur's court contains details taken from medieval England, e.g. carrying a coat of arms combining the English lion and the French fleur-de-lys.
