You have a real flair for telling of historical events without it being boring. You did a great job.

Thank you for your work, as a breton from the continent, i'm trying also to sort out what is historical from what is legendary. Mostly for the 367 - 410 period.

Yes, the truth is in a dark swamp. But what i see at least is that there are a few historical figures with a roman name and described as roman at first, who turn out to be romanized brittons and who probably felt more Bretons than Roman. (Paternus (Padarn ap Iago), Gerontius (Geraint), Magnentius (usurper), Ambrosius Aurelianus, etc... )

Camlann happened around 537 and Catraeth around 580, the Romans don't factor into it at all.

I well know the history of the area and it's monuments, the battle commemorated in Yr Gododdin was fought in the 6th century and had nothing to do with the Romans, so I really don't understand what you're trying to get at.
