Angels, Fools and Tyrants: Britons and the Angels

Chris Lowe

As the last Roman troops left Britain, a new phase opened in the history of what was to become Scotland. In the south of the country, the kingdoms of the Britons – Strathclyde, Rheged and the Gododdin – faced a new and terrible threat: the power of Northumbria.
