Last calls, and a new guest article by
Howard
Wiseman: The
derivation of the date of the Arthurian
entries in the Annales Cambriae from Bede
and Gildas.
New in the Bibliography for December:

Finally, a bit of an
update of the Craig
Gwrtheyrn article. A new picture at the
Foel Fenlli map site.
New in the Bibliography for November:
October 6, 2002
No additions. I
moved the 'Roman' bibliography to the new site,
and removed the links pages for books,
search engines and links pages.
New in the Bibliography for October:
September 3, 2002
No additions. I
launched a new website
about my re-enactment activities (Fectio
at http://www.fectio.org.uk/),
which will sadly mean less time for this
site, at least for now.
New in the Bibliography for September:
- Colgrave,
B. and Mynors, R.A.B., eds. (1969):
Bede's Ecclesiastical History of
the English People, (Oxford
Clarendon Press, repr. 1979).

C.A.M. (1896):
Venerablis Bedae, Opera Historica,
(Oxford, repr. 1946).
August 3, 2002
Only a few additions over
the holidays. New
pictures at the Sitemaster page, the treasure of
Rhayader and the Grave of Vortimer. Several
spelling corrections elsewhere.
New in the Bibliography for August:
July 2, 2002
A few updates: with the
kind and friendly help of Annemarie
Speetjens, the translations of the Historia
Brittonum (chapters 44-8),
the early
British Chronicle and the gloss in
MS CCCC 139, fo 175r about Vortimer have been
completed.
Completely new is A book by Fabio
Barbieri: British History,
407-597 AD , about 600
pages of Dark Ages British history,
exclusive to Vortigern Studies! This book
provides great insight in the sources
behind the history of the 5th century.
New in the Bibliography for July:
- Meijer,
Fik (2002):
Keizers sterven niet in bed - van
Caesar tot Romulus Augustus 44 v.Chr.-476

June 17, 2002
First, a new poll .. about
time as well. Nothing much else, although
there are very beautiful new images to be
viewed with the articles about Nant Gwrtheyrn, Tre'r Ceiri (coutresy of Stuart
Stevenson), Elise's Pillar as well as the Vitalinus stone at
Nevern (courtesy of Chris
Tolley). The latter pages are
updated with new text as well.
New in the Bibliography for June:
- Carroll,
Maureen (2001):
Romans, Celts & Germans, the
German Provinces of Rome, (Tempus).*
May 2, 2002
More new source-material:
I've added the early
British chronicle-fragment wich mentions
the name of Vortigern is its most ancient
form. A long-term project is finally
finished: I've updated the much-published
but inferior Giles text of the Historia
Brittonum with the Latin
text of the Mommsen edition, as well as
notes with different translations of
later editors (whose texts are
unfortunately not in the public domain).
I've subsequently updated all pages where
I quote parts of this text accordingly,
with the notes linking back to the main
text.
New in the Bibliography for May:
April 1, 2002
More new source-material:
I've updated the Anglo-Saxon
Chronicle with the Old
English text. Also, a new
guest article by Sheila
Brynjulfson for the sources section:
Geoffrey
of Monmouth. And, at long
last, I added a few more games!
New in the Bibliography for April:

March 1, 2002
Plenty of additions this
time. Apart from still not completed
updates, I have added pictures to both
tours of Little
Doward and Arthur's
Cave (courtesy of Joe
Boyles & Jake Livingston).
Also two new articles in the
sources section: the Annales Cambriae (the English
part donated by Sheila Brynjulfson and
the Latin part added by me) and the text
of Zosimus'
Historia Nova, Book VI, with
the dubious yet famous remarks about the
loss of Britain to the Romans. I have
also cross-linked the reprinted source-material
in the texts and sources sections, to
anticipate any confusion about what to
find where.
New in the Bibliography for March:
February 18, 2002
A little late in the month,
true. I've updated the site further,
changing the section of Vortigerns Cities
and adding images and maps in the process.
Two more new guest articles by
Joe Boyles and Jake
Livingston, two very nice American
chaps who travelled to Britain in both
2000 and 2001, visiting all kinds of
Arthurian sites. They allowed me to use
their reports of visits to Little
Doward and Arthur's
Cave. I am also endebted to Sheila
Brynjulfson for her permission to
host several of her excellent articles,
recently gone from the internet when her
site was lost. The first of these is Artorius,
Ambrosius, Arthur - Questing for the
Historical Arthur, King of the Britons.
New in the Bibliography for February:
January 1, 2002
A Happy new Year to you all!
Not much new on the site,
just the usual new year's maintainance,
and a new header, which I
hope you like. I've separated the News
sites of Wansdyke project
21 and the Arthurian
Collection, as these have
now their own, separate sites.
Two new guest-articles: David
Capps: The Anglo-Saxon
Settlement of England, and Harry
Jelley: The
Birthplace of St. Patrick.
