Summary/Abstract: The German colonization was done in several stages. A first group of settlers were brought from Flanders, as documented and called "flandrenses," then decades later they were brought from the region between Rhine and Moselle, and they were called "teutonic," and the most numerous arrived at the end of this century on the right hand of the Rhine, namely in the present-day Niedersachen, Lower Saxony, but also in the eastern and southern regions of Thuringia and even Bavaria, and were known as the saxons - a name not necessarily a a clue for the region from which they came, being a name worn throughout medieval Hungary by colonists holding privileges.
