Historia Brittonum (829 - 830) Nennius |
| Quotation |
Hucusque regnaverunt Romani apud Brittones CCCCVIIII annis. Brittones autem dejecerunt regnum Romanorum neque censum dederunt illis neque reges illorum acceperunt, ut regnarent super eos, neque Romani ausi sunt ut venirent Brittanniam ad regnandum amplius, quia duces illorum Brittones occiderant. |
| Translation |
Hitherto the Romans had ruled the British for 409 years. But the British overthrew the rule of the Romans, and paid them non taxes, and did not accept their kings to reign over them, and the Romans did not dare to come to Britain to rule anymore, for the British had killed their generals. (J. Morris, p. 25) |
