[edit] Dating
Your dates for Cunedda contradict my sources (Frere, Salway), where do they come from? I changed the date of Roman withdrawal as it was Honorius who wrote the letter in 410, three years after the troops left. I added Frere's description of Paternus as native chief rather than a Roman soldier. I rewrote and rearranged the dating arguments so I hope they make more sense. Non-US spelling for non-US subject. I think I kept all the earlier points too. adamsan 01:08, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Ah, thanks for the Constantine/Honorius correction. I probably should have caught that one, myself. I think I may not have been clear in my previous entry, though: I wasn't suggesting that it was Maximus who ordered Cunedda into Wales (although others have done so, the dating is dubious at best: most sources have Maximus dead a good decade before Cunedda's birth!). My dates come from Mike Ashley's "The Mammoth Book of British Kings and Queens," but the difference isn't that great, and it might just be an issue of Ashley rounding up. I rewrote the entry again, to clarify my earlier meaning, and have tried to clarify the tangle of dating issues surrounding the topic. Hope it makes more sense, now.
