The seax is a symbol of Middlesex, indicating that the Fortners served in the militia of Middlesex County, Ontario, in the 19th century. |
The Saxons may have derived their name from seax, a kind of knife for which they were known. |
A seax created in our workshop with an historical inspiration. |
I shook out the sheep skin to fluff it, and he stretched out on his back on the table, his hand on the hilt of his seax. |
Two steps took me to the menhir, and I drew my seax that I might do as he asked me. |
The seax has a lasting symbolic impact in the English counties of Essex and Middlesex, both of which feature three seaxes in their ceremonial emblem. |
