Can We Trust Bede and Gildas?

When we consider the fifth century in Britain, there are two sources who mention it in any detail. Bede's 'History of the English People' and Gildas's 'The Ruin of Britain'. Both of them say roughly the same thing, and were, until very recently, the primary resource we had for talking about the transition from Roman Britain to the first Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. But recently, we've accepted that these sources tell us less about the fifth century than they do about the times and cultures in which they wrote. They are heavily influenced by events after the fifth century, and they clearly have no understanding of the fifth century themselves. This video will explain why they can't be trusted.
