Conqueror in the fifth and sixth centuries (5)

I believe the answer is:

saxon

(Other definitions for saxon that I've seen before include "old English style" , "Germanic invader of England" , "Settler from Germany in the home counties" , "dating from the first millennium?" , "Member of old Germanic people" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
