Saint Gildas (c. 494 or 516 – c. 570) was one of the best-documented figures of the Christian church in the
Life
There are two Lives of Gildas: the earlier written by a monk of
Rhuys Life
The first Life written at Rhuys by an unnamed scribe says that Gildas was the son of "Caunus" (Caw), born in the district of "Arecluta" (Alt Clut or Strathclyde). He was entrusted into the care of Saint "Hildutus" (

"De Excidio et Conquestu Britanniae"
Gildas' surviving written work, "De Excidio et Conquestu Britanniae" or "On the Ruin and Conquest of Britain", is a sermon in three parts condemning the acts of his contemporaries, both secular and religious. The first part consists of Gildas' explanation for his work and a brief narrative of
Concerning her obstinacy, subjection and rebellion, about her second subjection and harsh servitude; concerning religion, of persecution, the holy martyrs, many heresies, of tyrants, of two plundering races, concerning the defense and a further devastation, of a second vengeance and a third devastation, concerning hunger, of the letter to Agitius [usually identified with the patrician Aëtius] , of victory, of crimes, of enemies suddenly announced, a memorable plague, a council, an enemy more savage than the first, the subversion of cities, concerning those whose survived, and concerning the final victory of our country that has been granted to our time by the will of God.In the second part, opening with the assertion "Britain has kings, yet they are tyrants; it has judges, yet they are undutiful", Gildas addresses the lives and actions of five contemporary rulers: Constantine of
The third part begins with the words, "Britain has priests, but they are fools; numerous ministers, but they are shameless; clerics, but they are wily plunderers." Gildas continues his
Gildas's work is of great importance to historians, because although it is not intended primarily as history, it is almost the only surviving source written by a near-contemporary of British events in the fifth and sixth centuries. The usual date that has been given for the composition of the work is some time in the 540s, but it is now regarded as quite possibly earlier, in the first quarter of the sixth century, or even before that.cite book |last= Fletcher|first= Richard|title= Who's Who in Roman Britain and Anglo-Saxon England|pages=21-22|year= 1989|publisher= Shepheard-Walwyn|isbn=0-85683-089-5] The student must remember that Gildas' intent in his writing is to preach to his contemporaries after the manner of an old testament prophet, not to write an account for posterity: while Gildas offers one of the first descriptions of the In "De Excidio et Conquestu Britanniae", Gildas mentions that the year of his birth was the same year that the Battle of Gildas's treatise was first published in 1525 by Legacy in the Anglo-Saxon Period Following the conquest of Britain described in "De excidio", Gildas continued to provide an important model for Anglo-Saxon writers both in Latin and in English. In the later Old English period, Gildas's writing provides a major model for Other historical implications Gildas's work is important for reasons beyond the historical information he provides. It is clear that at the time when he was writing there was an effective (and British) Christian church. Gildas uses Latin to address his points to the rulers he excoriates; and he regards Britons, at least to some degree, as Roman citizens, despite the collapse of central imperial authority. By 597, when St Augustine arrived in Kent, what is now England was almost completely pagan, and the illiterate new rulers did not think of themselves as Roman citizens. Dating Gildas's words more exactly would hence provide a little more certainty about the timeline of the transition from post-Roman Britain to the rule of the Anglo-Saxons; a certainty that would be the more valuable as precise dates and reliable facts are extremely scarce for this period.cite book |last= Campbell|first= John|coauthors= John, Eric & Wormald, Patrick|title= The Anglo-Saxons|pages=20-22|year= 1991|publisher= Penguin Books|isbn=0-14-014395-5] Notes ee also * External links *gutenberg author| id=Gildas | name=Gildas (In the English translation Mount Badon is called "Bath-hill".)
