What happens

Siege of the Saxons is a 1963 British medieval adventure film directed by Nathan H. Juran and released by Columbia Pictures. Starring Janette Scott and Ronald Lewis, the film is set in the time of King Arthur. As with many Arthurian films, the sets, style and much of the setting are based on England in the High Middle Ages, but anachronistically combined with elements of the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain. The plot also contains elements of Robin Hood. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
