Romanized and borrowed many Latin words, but still maintained their native language and many native traditions, though by the 4th century AD, they abandoned their native religion for Christianity along with the rest of the Roman empire. Although the Roman governors, military officers, and civilians doing official business with the army in Britain came from all over the empire, many of the lower ranking Roman soldiers stationed in Britain during the empire were ethnic Gauls and Germans - there were even some Sarmatians introduced in the 2nd century AD. Some of these soldiers remained in Britain and intermarried with the locals. Others went home when their service ended, or they were transferred to other regions. Towards the end of Roman rule, most soldiers serving in Britain were local men and could be either purely British, or the descendants of foreign soldiers and local women. Still, this foreign element made up only a tiny percentage of the over all population in Britain; the vast majority remained ethnic Britons (with influxes of Irish in western and northern Britain, and Germanic Angles, Saxons and Jutes during the post-Roman period in the early 5th century).

claims, and he names no leader for that battle, as neither did Gildas. Bede was copying, almost word for word, Gildas's sixth century text; The Destruction and Conquest of Britain. If the Venerable Bede HAD made such a claim that Ambrosius had won Badon Hill, then there would be no great discussion as to who had won that battle today. The article writer has got their facts wrong on this account and it needs to be removed in order for it to be historically correct. The Venerable Bede did NOT claim this battle for Ambrosius Aurelianus. Knowledge (XXG) articles must be objective, with content based on evidence and fact if they are to have any value to researchers; or if Knowledge (XXG) itself is to have any value. The 'fact' of Ambrosius in this article is wrong.
1342:
Ecclesiastical History, ch. 64: 'Their leader at this time was Ambrosius Aurelianus... Under his leadership the British took up arms, challenged their conquerors to battle, and with God's help inflicted a defeat on them. Thenceforward victory swung first to one side and then the other, until the battle of Badon Hill, when the Britons made a considerable slaughter of their invaders.' Therefore it seems a reasonable assumption that Bede and Gildas meant to imply that he was there. At the moment, all the article says is 'More recently, scholars guessed that the Romano-British leader could have been Ambrosius Aurelianus'; it's hardly a recent assumption. I think Ambrosius needs to move up the page!

Britons and Germanics during this time period and the over all trend was for the British to lose their hold over much of the territory that was to become England. Those Britons who didn't die in battle either fled to western Britain (where they blended with the locals to became the Welsh, Cornish and Cumbric peoples), or to Armorica in Gaul (where they blended with the locals, but maintained their British language and culture, thus becoming the Bretons), or they surrendered themselves to living under Germanic rule, their descendants gradually becoming Germanicized and intermarrying with their new overlords, producing the English people.
793: 772: 987: 966: 2102:"Romano-Briton" is cultural, rather than taxonomical. It simply means a "Romanized Briton". Considering that Badon most likely occurred decades after any real Roman governance had ended in Britian, it's arguable that its victors should be referred to as "Romano-Britons". But they were certainly "Britons". That is the universally accepted term for the Celtic-speaking natives of Britain in this period. I'll clean up the article a little and see if it helps; it will need much more than I'm able to do today, but that's another matter.-- 243: 222: 2637:
countryside, but there were no more pagan priests (The Romans had already outlawed and destroyed the Druid class centuries earlier), the temples were left to rot (as vividly described by Gildas), and public pagan ceremonies that couldn't be Christianized were abolished. As far as my "blending in with the locals" line, there's really no other way to put it; Southwestern Britons who left Britain for Armorica did just that (as the archaeological and historical record affirms).

There is an obvious reason that most of the world regards those two words as virtually synonymous, whether or not it's a reason you care for -- and even if, for some obscure reason, you regard people who are not well informed about this ancient period as dunces. Perhaps because you do not have any scholarly topics in which you are poorly informed, and wish to learn more, as our reader do? 1107: 1086: 698: 2622:
Britons were neither killed in battle nor fled for the hills, and the "blending with the locals" is a bit of a scream. After all, it was your Britons not killed in battle who had to find locals to blend with. The Britons who "surrendered themselves" to living under Germanic rule had to blend with themselves and with the Germanics. Never mind, this is not a serious dispute.

majority - is still a matter of debate. St. Patrick, for instance, though he and his parents had Latin names, complained in his writings of struggling with the Latin language, so it clearly wasn't his native tongue. The Britons who settled in Armorica spoke a dialect of Neo-Brittonic (soon to become Old Breton) - not Latin - as their first language.

I've corrected the 'quotation' from Annales Cambriae. It has 'Bellum Badonis' for both battles, not Mount/mons or badonicus. The 'date' it gives has quite a wide range for an AD equivalent.

Sorry, but I find it very odd to suggest that we should change the terminology because the "average reader" might get confused!

The early sources' account that the Saxons were thrown back around this time seems to be borne out by archaeological evidence. Studies of cemeteries (at this point, the Anglo-Saxons remained pagan while the Britons were Christianized) suggest the border shifted some time around 500. Afterwards, the

2313:
Yes, again, "Romano-Briton" is a cultural label, not an ethonym. It simply means a Briton who is culturally Romanized. As it's unclear how "Romanized" the Britons were by 500 AD, the label is problematic. On the other hand, "Briton" is 100% accurate. We shouldn't be including potentially misleading

I would agree with GTN if I were sure "Badon Hill" was in fact the common name. But "Mount Badon" is common as well (perhaps even more so), and so is just Badon, and it is not as if Mons Badonicus is uncommon. I'm almost inclined to suggest we go with Battle of Mount Badon. We should also note that

You really need to brush up on your history - you seem to have some very warped ideas about Britain in late antiquity and the post-Roman period. For all intents and purposes, paganism was wiped out in Britain; sure, some much debased form of it was being kept alive among the peasant class in the
2621:
Then we agree that the pagan religions were not quite abandoned. I'm sorry, Cagwinn, it was just your image of those disappearing Britons (the ones who hadn't been killed in battle, that is) fleeing for the west or over the sea and then "blending with the locals". We now believe that most of the

Sorry to weigh back in on this after so long, but I still don't see what is wrong with Brython. It as correct a term as any, distinguishes from the modern usage of Briton and avoids the argument about precisely what portion of the population spoke Latin or how many had ever been to a caldarium.
2651:
I see, so a much debased form of paganism was being kept alive among the peasant class in the countryside, but that doesn't count, being much debased, and bearing in mind that the townspeople were so much more significant than the peasants, even if there were not very many of them. I think the

1341:
This is a bit odd. I'd hardly say such a claim would constitute a 'serious error'. Neither Bede nor Gildas say that Ambrosius Aurelianus led the British at Badon Hill, but they both name him as being the leader of the British resistance, a resistance that culminated in the victory at Badon.
2570:
The word "Welsh" did indeed mean "foreigner" or "slave" in English - but more specifically, it meant any "Romanized person"; it is an old Germanic word and originally was borrowed from the Gaulish ethnic name Uolcae, whom Germanic people on the Continent came into contact with in ancient
2652:
funniest thing about the blending was that it was the Britons not killed in battle (the actual chaps, you see, rather than the Britons collectively) who went off and found some locals to blend with. But no matter, Cagwinn, if you can't see the funny side of it, it's no big deal.
