	The Life of Gildas
		Gildas was the contemporary of Arthur, the king of the whole of Britain, whom he loved exceedingly, and whom he always desired to obey.
		But Gildas, as he had done when he first heard the news of his brother's death, was courteous to his enemy, kissed him as he prayed for forgiveness, and with a most tender heart blessed him as the other kissed in return.
		While St. Gildas was thus persevering, devoting himself to fasting and prayers, pirates came from the islands of Orcades, who harassed him snatching off his servants from him when at their duties, and carrying them off to exile, along with spoils and all the furniture of their dwelling.

	CIN - ST. GILDAS THE WISE, OR BADONICUS, ABBOT.
		To satisfy their importunities, St. Gildas at length consented to live among them on the continent, and built a monastery at Rhuis, in a peninsula of that name, which Guerech, the first lord of the Britons about Vannes, is said to have bestowed upon him.
		The relics of St. Gildas were carried thence for fear of the Normans into Berry, about the year 919, and an abbey was erected there on the banks of the river Indre, which was secularized and united to the collegiate church of Chateauroux in 1623.
		Gildas is commemorated in the Roman Martyrology on the 29th of January.

	[No title]
		The great sin Gildas accuses Cuneglasus of is that he had rejected his own wife and had set his lustful eye on her sister, though she had taken holy vows.
		At one point, Gildas calls Cuneglasus "despiser of God and oppressor of his lot" and later asks "why do you provoke with continual injuries the groans and sighs of the holy men who are present in the flesh by your side...?".
		Gildas was in a very good position to know the truth as he was for a time at the court of Maelgwyn, the first cousin of Cuneglasus.

	Gildas
		Gildas claims the Saxons were invited in as mercenaries against the Picts by a ruling council and a superbus tyrannus ("leading ruler"), possibly a translation of the Briton title "high king." Bede and most later writers assume this personage to be Vortigern.
		Gildas tells how the Saxons swarmed into Britain, made excessive demands and then, when the demands were not met, rose up and raided the country, ravaging as far as the western sea.
		Gildas and the abbot negotiate her release after Arthur is unable to recover her.

	EBK: St. Gildas Badonicus
		Gildas was born in the Strathclyde or Cwm Cawlwyd area around AD 500.
		Gildas remained at Llancarfan as an interim-Abbot, overseeing St. Cadog's schools, while the latter travelled North to spread the word of Christ.
		In the late 560s, Gildas was recalled to Ireland by the High-King Ainmere and asked to restore the crumbling Irish Church to its former glory.

	The Heroic Age: The Age of Arthur
		Gildas can be very inaccurate about events occurring more than a century before his own time, and in this case his hesitation seems well founded: It is likely that all three died earlier and not necessarily at the same time (Frere 1987:321).
		The place Gildas intended must be somewhere in the part of Britain that he knew, which certainly stretched from the Straits of Dover in south-east Britain round to Cornwall in the south-west and Gwynedd in north-west Wales but which may have extended beyond that.
		Gildas shows that in the fifth century a name-equivalent existed that identified York as a legionary city, and that a competent author could use that name-equivalent in a book addressed to the whole of Britain, expecting his phrase to be recognised by his entire audience.

	Gildas, when did he write?
		Gildas may even have been the only one writing a history (although we can hardly call him a historian) for that period, for no other source is available to us.
		Though the passage seems clear, and Gildas seems to tell us that he was born in the same year as the siege of Badon, and that 43 years and 1 month have already passed, this is not the correct, straightforward translation, which Mommsen himself proved when he amended the text of the passage.
		Gildas seems to indicate that he wrote 44 years after probably the victory of Ambrosius over the Saxon invaders, yet after the battle of Badon, which happened within living memory of a generation that had grown up in peace.

	HISTORY OF BRITAIN, 407-597, by Fabio P. Barbieri
		Gildas’ culture and Latinity are analyzed in the context of his time, especially in comparison with his younger contemporary Gregory of Tours, establishing the nature and social context of the culture from which he arose.
		Gildas is shown to be aware of the campaigns of Justinian I. There is evidence that Justinian aimed to invade Britain; that Gildas and his contemporaries knew it; and that it was Justinian, not the Saxons (whom Gildas regarded as defeated at Mons Badonicus) that Gildas intended his readers to fear.
		I also argue that Gildas was familiar with an eyewitness account of the Saxon wars (which I call "L"), and that his work is to be understood largely as a reaction to it.

	Gildas, The Ruin of Britain &c. (1899) Introduction.
		Gildas is thus widely known, not very long after his death, as a writer on ecclesiastical abuses, and as a correspondent whose opinion on new and doubtful movements was highly valued in Ireland.
		An unprejudiced student of Gildas comes back to his writings with the feeling that something of value may, and ought to, be got out of them; my own frequent reading of these has led me to a higher appreciation of the man and his work.
		But Gildas would never have regarded himself as a "historian": he is a preacher, a revivalist, who will "attempt to state a few facts" (pauca dicere conamur), by way of illustrating his message, that divine anger must visit with punishment a sinning people and priesthood.

	Gildas and the Dark Ages
		Gildas called them Saxons, but they were in fact not one single tribe; the regular units of the army of Independent Britian may in the beginning have been of a very similar composition.
		Gildas condenses twenty years' fighting or more, which ended with the destruction of a large part of the nobility of Britain according to legend, and the emigration of many of the survivors.
		Gildas asserts that the British victors maintained a government for a generation, but that kings were already anointed and slain in an ever more rapid succession.

	A 19th century critique of Gildas from edition of Brut Tysilio
		Whilst the violence of his piety, or the rage of his disappointed ambition, were alledged as the motives of the calumnies of the supposed Gildas; their force was reduced by palliatives, but their foundation was still in a great degree admitted.
		And these extracts prove that this Gildas was a writer, who knew that there were OLD HISTORIES extant in his time, and made use of them; and that his thoughts, as to his country, and its history, were very different from those of the writer of the history.
		Gildas however was not one of these, he was a Briton of the Britons, he was of a, church that paid no exclusive deference to St. Peter, and none to Rome; he could not have so misinterpreted a Welsh name, nor could he in any sense have represented the Latin language as his own.

	Saint Gildas
		Gildas is best-known for De excidio et conquestu Britanniae (On the Ruin and Conquest of Britain), a powerful criticism of the decadent lives of British kings and clergy, whom he blamed for the successes of Anglo-Saxon invaders.
		Gildas also preached in the northern parts of Britain, and seems to have been an influential figure in the Irish Church, teaching for a time at Armagh.
		To Gildas is attributed a Lorica, possibly composed when plague threatened Brittany, which itemises every part of the body in its prayer for protection.

		Then it remained as an asylum for all who carried it throughout the whole of Gwalia (Gualiuam), and whosoever swore illegally throughout that land, he was deprived of his tongue, or if an evil-doer would straightaway confess the crime.
		Cadoc, the abbot of the church of Nancarban, asked the teacher Gildas to superintend the studies of his schools for the space of one year; and one being requested, he superintended them most advantageously, receiving no fee from the scholars except the prayers of the clergy and scholars.
		When he saw this, the abbot of Glastonia, attended by the clergy and Gildas the Wise, stepped in between the contending armies, and in a peaceable manner advised his king, Melvas, to restore the ravished lady.

		GILDAS SAYS: The Britons are contrary to the whole world [enemies to Roman usages not only in the mass, but also in tonsure, because, along with the Jews, they serve the shadows of things to come rather than the truth].
		As between monasteries, there evidently existed no higher authority to command uniform rules of life: it was that early time of their history when the character of individual cloisters was determined and known by the character of the abbot himself, who was generally the founder.
		But Gildas is willing to make concessions upon the ground of habit or weakness, so that monks who deserted abbots upon such pleas as these were not to be received into the better (perfectior) monastery.

	Gildas and Vortigern
		Gildas denunciation the kings is based on their (in his eyes stupid) repeating the mistakes of their forefathers, who had unwisely counselled Vortigern.
		In other words, Gildas might say here that the five kings are continuing the detestable politics of their ancestors and Vortigern, to the demise of the British.
		Gildas sees this as a logical but reprehensible evolution from the usurpation of Magnus Maximus, which has seen the progressive disintegration of the British territory from one single state (diocese) into several smaller kingdoms without overlord in Gildas’ day.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Gildas
		The biographies of Gildas exist -- one written by an unknown Breton monk of the Abbey of Rhuys in the eleventh century, the other by Caradoc, a Welshman in the twelfth century.
		Both narratives agree in several striking details, and may thus be harmonized: Gildas was born in Scotland on the banks of the Clyde (possibly at Dumbarton), of a noble British family.
		The authentic work of St. Gildas, "De excidio Britannae liber querulus", is now usually divided into three parts: (1) The preface; (2) A sketch of British history from the Roman invasion to his own time; (3) An epistle of severe invective addressed to five petty British kings -- Constantine, Vortipor, Cyneglas, Cynan, and Maelgwn.

		Now it is clear from Gildas that Maelgwn overturned his uncle in a coup of some violence -' you killed him and nearly the bravest soldiers'...
		In either case, it bodes ill for credibility, and while his big, bad, five were hardly candidates for a tea-time visit to a maiden aunt, it might now be questioned whether they were really as evil as they were portrayed.
		However Gildas was fastidious to the point of pedantry in his Latin terminology, and it would seem totally at variance with he rest of the work for him to use a word in anything other than an exact sense.
