| | HISTORY OF BRITAIN, 407-597, by Fabio Barbieri |
 | | In the typical manner of his time, Nennius (or his sources) describe the peoples in question in terms of their earliest ancestors; but, given that, chapters 10-16 must be regarded as a systematic ethnography of Britain, touching on the name and origin of each of its component nations. |
 | | The origin of his people, and of the West to which he felt he belonged, is what he was trying to establish. |
 | | The list of peoples is attached, not to the children of Alan(e)us, but to those of Noah, and, so far as it overlaps that of ch.17, it contradicts it: for instance, the Itali are made children of Tubal, while ch.17 had Romanus as the son of Hessition. |
