Saxland is attested in the Heimskringla as one of the territories from which Emperor Otto assembled his forces. "The Emperor Otta assembled a great army from Saxland, Frakland, Frisland, and Vindland" for his campaign against Hakon (Heimskringla, Chapter 26). The name designates the Saxon lands in a Norse geographical framework, placing them alongside the Frankish, Frisian, and Wendish territories as components of imperial military power.
Saxland is connected to Veggdegg through the mythological genealogies that link Norse dynasties to continental territories.
