The period between the departure of the Romans, around AD 400, and the establishment of the English kingdoms in the later 7th century is one of the least known and most important episodes in British history. In this time of turmoil, Scots, Picts and Anglo-Saxons contributed to a breakdown in civilized life, but it was also a time of renaissance: a rebirth of Celtic language and art, the rise of native British kingdoms in Scotland, Wales and Cornwall, and the flowering of the Church in Celtic Britain.

It’s not a dry read or aimed at academics, but somehow it failed to hold my attention for much of the time.
I feel there’s too much focus on the meaning of names. This starts off as interesting, but when the origin of name after name is reeled off, it becomes tedious.
Sections here and there appealed to me, but in short, the main body of this work didn’t grip me like the entertaining introduction. ( )
