Abstract

The questions of when and from where the Saxons came to the medieval Serbian state have long been present in Serbian historiography. This paper examines the views of Serbian historians from the 19th century to date, and places a focus on the methodological stance that the process of German migration into medieval Serbia can be explored only within the framework of European medieval history. The arrival of the Saxons in medieval Serbia was part of a broader pan-European demographic, economic and political process
