As a result, she concluded that this date was taken from Bede in the first place by the same later Carolingian editor, which would mean that the Gallic Chronicle of 452 was useless as a source for the fifth century, and the date of 441 a ‘ghost-date’.
Especially Jones and Casey have advocated strongly that the Gallic Chronicle of 452 is proof for a Saxon incursion in Britain around 409-11, that led directly to the revolt of the Britons from the Empire, and both chronicles support the takeover of large parts of Britain by the Saxons.
Though Burgess may be too cautious in arguing that the Gallic Chronicles are not accurate enough to be regarded as good witnesses for the fifth century, he does not disagree with the dating of this takeover in around the year 441.
