CARADOC AGAINST THE SAXONS The occupation of Britain by the Romans from 43 AD to 476 AD resulted in most of Wales including the Silurian kingdom of Gwent in southeastern Wales being conquered. Caradoc Freichfras, King of Gwent in 550 AD, was aware of how the Romans defeated Caratacus, Silurian king in 52 AD, Boadecia, Queen of the Iceni British tribe in 60 AD, and later the Caledonians and Picts of Scotland, from what his ancestors told him. As the Romans left and the Saxons arrived at the invitation of Vortigern, the High-King of Britain, to fight the northern tribes of Scotland as they raided England, he was also aware of how the British tried to stop the subsequent invasion of the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes into the southern Britain about 410 AD to 550 AD. Not wanting his homeland of Gwent to be taken by the aggressive Saxons, Caradoc and other Welsh kings stopped the Saxon advance at the battle of Tintern Forest in southeastern Wales in 584 AD and the Saxons never returned to the land claimed by the Celts as early as 600 BC.
A comprehensive encyclopedia of characters, places, objects, and themes found in the legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round table. Draws from all significant source between Gildas' De Excidio Britanniae written about 540 AD and Tennyson's 19th-century Idylls of the King, including versions from throughout Europe. The entries range from a short identifying sentence to nearly ten pages for the king himself. Each is referenced to a source, which are presented in a endtable showing author and tit date, form, and langua description; keywords from the entries; and recent editions, a vital bit of information such references usually neglect. The cross-referencing is fairly good, often done as a full entry identifying a name as a variant of another, so the lack of an index is not a problem. Distributed in the US by Taylor and Francis.
