Book Synopsis The Ruin of Britain, and Other Works by : Gildas
Book excerpt: Gildas wrote this about 540 AD or just before when he was forty three years old. It is a fierce denunciation of the rulers and churchmen of his day, prefaced by a brief explanation of how these evils came to be. This preface is the only surviving narrative history of fifth century Britain.
