@caitlinrgreen @Rachel5742 This said Badon sounds like a Bryttonic echo of Catalaunian Plains battle up to Roman/post Roman participants
@morangles @Rachel5742 Well, it depends on *why^ Gildas mentions it.... Was it because important, or just because in year or birth, or....
@caitlinrgreen @morangles given the British context and proximity to events one assume a significant event.
@Rachel5742 @morangles Don't disagree, but debated by several writers; made more difficult by most later refs being derivative of Gildas...!
@caitlinrgreen @morangles what period were the Welsh annals from? They are a separate thread are they not?
@Rachel5742 @morangles So Alcock used to argue, but no longer so seen---usually linked to 9thC HB and prob 10thC in date :(
@Rachel5742 @morangles Fwiw key text = K. Grabowski+D. N. Dumville, Chronicles and Annals of Medieval Ireland and Wales (Woodbridge 1984) :)
@caitlinrgreen @morangles where do you stand on the possibility that Arthurian tales relate to the earlier period of Vortigern in the 5th c?
