@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? -
@Rachel5742@morangles Fwiw, I would see the main Arthurian tales as folkloric and the historical aspects as derivative of Ambrosius :) -
@caitlinrgreen@morangles Was the economy not more fragmented under Ambrosius than Vortigern and therefore the capacity to fight less? - 2 more replies
