Excellent stuff, Llywrch. I would probably have got round to it eventually but life is short and I am spread very thin... user:sjc

Thanks. Although if someone is looking for something easy to do, It would be nice to create some kind of article -- even stub articles -- for each of the five personages that Gildas mentions, as well as find/write links to the several Romance languages that I mention in this article. As well as some kind of article that explains or mentions how Latin evolved into the several Romance languages.

I see all sorts of articles that need writing/rewriting/adding to, but as you said ``life is short and I am spread very thin". Right now I'm focussing on Late Roman Imperial history & topics relating to Arthur, before I start branching into the dozens of other topics I know something about. llywrch

[edit] Cuneglasus

"Cuneglasus of "the Bear's Stronghold" (Din Eirth, possibly Dinarth near Llandudno)" - unlikely to be Dinarth I would have thought, since Maelgwn's main stronghold at Deganwy would have been only a couple of miles away. Apart from Maelgwn, I don't think anything further is known of the other kings denounced by Gildas Rhion 20:54, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Square brackets and links

I'm not sure where the problem lies -- in the Wikipedia software or my browser -- but when a link is indicated next to a square braket like this [[Aetius]]], the text of the actual link is swallowed, & all I see is this Aetius]. To fix that problem, I have added a space where this problem occurs to fix this.

Or am I the only person to see that phenomena? -- llywrch 21:43, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

That's actually a picture of Abelard and Heloise. Abelard was abbot of St. Gildas de Rhuys MaryJones 23:09, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I think you're right. I never saw Gildas with a nun. Let's delete it. Andrew Dalby 00:35, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
