Description
Written in the 6th century, De Excidio et Conquestu Britanniae is a sermon by St Gildas, a British cleric, condemning the actions of his contemporaries that led to the dire state of sub-Roman Britain.
Divided into three parts, this work is a scathing critique of both secular and religious leaders who contributed to the decline of the region. St Gildas' words remain a powerful commentary on the consequences of human actions and the importance of accountability.
First published in 2023, this edition of De Excidio et Conquestu Britanniae offers a unique insight into the history of sub-Roman Britain and the thoughts of a key figure from the 6th century.
