While still dwelling in their German homelands before their migration to England in the 5th century and later the Saxons applied old German tribal laws that were passed on to the next generation like also their legends, by telling and keeping in mind. There the crimes murder and rape of women were punished with execution. The first written law compendium in German culture was the Lex Burgundionum of 500 AD, also called Lex Gundobad. Gundobad (474-516) was the Burgunder tribe king at that time. This law book is regarded to be the oldest in existance. It deals with the relations of humans amongst each other and the regulation of property issues. The fact that it was written down alone indicates the Roman influence it already showed.

Why was England named after the Angles and not the Saxons?
It was continental Europeans. The Saxons, Jutes, and Angles were seen as one. That one was know as the "Saxons". That created a problem for the continental Europeans due to the fact that not all of the Saxons immigrated to England. There were also the German Saxons. There were two of them. Identical. So to distinguish them, the Europeans started to call the English by the name of the 2nd largest tribe, the "Angles". (The German Saxons were 100% Saxons, while the English were multi-tribal). The Scots, the Irish & the Welsh did not encounter the German Saxons. They only had to deal with the English. So no one to compare the English with, which is the reason they still call the English today as the "Saxons" in their own language.
