@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? -
@Rachel5742@morangles Not sure direct link between RB economy+this! In any case, church in Lincoln forum rebuilt c.L5thC for 100 ppl... ;) -
@caitlinrgreen@morangles Was general question never sure how to post properly! Lol.

@caitlinrgreen@Rachel5742 How much contact remained btwn Brittany exiles & home ? Was Badon used to demonstrate God chosen bloodline? -
@morangles@Rachel5742 Good question! Legend of Tristan potentiaally early suggests tradition of cross-channel kingdoms... Also saints, ofc! -
@caitlinrgreen@Rachel5742 There're so many saints of Brittany reported coming from Britain not to mention their vitae curiously copycating

@caitlinrgreen@Rachel5742 You are the expert Was real Badon really in in Britain? Not sure Clovis was Christian when attacked Brittany -
@morangles@Rachel5742 It makes no sense to put it in Brittany or Bretona, I think, although interesting alt-history possibility! -
@caitlinrgreen@Rachel5742 My impression from the other side of the Channel that the post Roman Britain riddle has some answers in Beittany -
@morangles@caitlinrgreen One must assume there were continuing cross channel links for some time given they were the same peoples.
