The Expulsion of The Romans

What caused the expulsion of the Romans from the British Isles?

The Roman Occupation led to many years of persecution for the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) in Roman Britain.  This persecution only caused Celtic Christianity to only spread more throughout the British Isles and Brittany.

 

The people of Roman Britain had tried to be free from the Romans several times when the Roman Empire was experiencing internal chaos and weakness to end the persecution.  Each time, the Romans regained control.

Then Emperor Constantine and Licinius decreed that Christianity was an allowed religion inside the Roman Empire in 313 AD.  This brought an end to persecution by the Romans.

 

After the edict, the Children of Truth built a Celtic Christian church to meet inside the Roman colony of Canterbury.

 

Around this time, Emperor Constantine gave the Lateran Palace in Rome to Pope Miltiades as headquarters of the new unofficial Roman universal (Catholic) religion.  It has been the official residence of all Popes since then.

 

The False Church of Rome was now had an official headquarters in Rome.  Pope Miltiades then began using Roman court procedures for settling disputes between different factions.

 

The Lateran Palace had been built over the site of Nero's Circus - where so many of the Children of Truth had been martyred by Emperor Nero.  It is where the first Roman government sanctioned meeting of bishops occurred. 

 

This insured that the Bishop of Rome would be the head of the new official religion.  The Bishop of Rome began claiming to the be the father (Pope means father) over all other bishops.

 

The Scoti were also first listed as a growing threat to Roman Britain around that same time.  

 

They were descendants of the Caledonians in Dal Riata (western Scotland, north of The Old North plus the part of North Ireland closest to Scotland) that had adopted Gaelic language and culture.

 

The Scoti had been cast out by their own people in Dal Riata like the Vikings, so they began sailing out of Dal Riata to raid the Irish Sea coast of The Old North and Roman Britain. So, the Romans called Dal Riata, "Scotia" (land of the Scoti).

Eventually, the people of Dal Riata were referred to as the Scoti or Scots.

 

In 314 AD, Pope Miltiades died and Sylvester the son of a Roman named Rufinus became the next Pope.  Emperor Constantine began giving him gifts to help the False Church of Rome homogenize the unofficial universal Roman religion across the Roman Empire.

 

After that, the leaders of those who claimed to be Christians from all over the Roman Empire met at the Synod of Arles in Gaul to define the doctrine that would get the Roman government stamp of approval.

 

Three representatives came from Roman Britain, including Saint Adelfius from Colchester, Saint Restitus from London, and Saint Eborius from York.  They were accompanied by two non-voting assistants.

Saint Adelfius and the other representatives found that the practices of the proposed official version of Christianity were contrary to the practices of Celtic Christianity - which had been brought to them by Saint Ilid in 54 AD.

 

(Saint is not used in the sense of the False Church of Rome in this post.  It is used in the sense of the Book of Truth (The Bible), where the term is used for all of the Children of Truth.  It is used to distinguish the Children of Truth from others in this post.  Other terms are used for members of the False Church of Rome like Bishop and Pope.)

 

That same year, Roman governors were stripped of all military authority.  They would run civil affairs and generals would run the military.  This was another effort to keep governors of Roman Britain from using their position to create more problems for the Romans.

 

Around this time, King Coel Hen began attacking the Scoti and Picts to end their raids into the Old North.  He also hoped to keep them from uniting against him, but this instead prompted them to do so.

In 318 AD, Emperor Constantine gave orders to build the original Saint Peter's Basilica on Vatican Hill, on the site of the former temple to the Queen of Heaven.  This was outside the walls of Rome at the time, but it was important for including the Queen of Heaven in the new unofficial Roman universal religion.

In 322 AD, High King Fiacha was killed by his nephews, known as the Three Collas.  They then became joint High Kings of the Irish.  

In 324 AD, Emperor Constantine became the sole emperor of the Roman Empire.

 

Now, the Romans were able to resume their efforts to create a universal Roman religion.

 

So in 325 AD, Emperor Constantine convoked the first Council of Nicaea.

 

This began the process of syncretism between Christian and Roman Pagan practices.  In particular, it began a process to remove everything Jewish from Christian practice - starting with the calendar used by Rabbinic Judaism.

 

Out of 318 Christian leaders present, only five were from the Latin speaking half of the Roman Empire.  There were far more representatives from the Sasanian Empire (Persian) - east of the Roman Empire - present.  Still, every major area of the Roman Empire had sent representatives - except for Roman Britain.  

Roman Britain was committed to keeping the practices of Celtic Christianity and wanted nothing to with practices that came from idolatry - like those of the Druids or Roman Paganism.  So, there was no reason to send anyone.

 

At the end, only two leaders at Nicaea refused to sign the agreement worked out by the council.  They were excommunicated by the council and exiled by Emperor Constantine.

The Council of Nicaea finish creating an unofficial universal Roman religion, which combined Christianity with Roman paganism, as Emperor Constantine had desired.

 

(The western half of the False Church of Rome claimed 400 years later that Constantine transferred the title of the High Priest of Roman Paganism - Pontiff Maximus - to the Pope after this.  Their "proof document" has been shown to have been written after 700 AD.)

 

Around this time Saint Ceneu, the son of King Coel Hen founded a Celtic Christian Community at Llangeneu ("Congregation of Genue (Welsh for "Ceneu")").

 

The Children of Truth in Roman Britain were very opposed to this new unofficial universal Roman religion.  They were determined to continue in the Celtic Christianity that Saint Ilid had started in 54 AD.

 

Celtic Christianity had become the dominant religion of Roman Britain.  They could not tolerate Roman interference with their practices any longer.

 

However, the Children of Truth seemed powerless to keep the False Church of Rome out of the British Isles.  They were praying for the Romans to be expelled from the British Isles.

 

Then their prayers started being answered by events beyond their control.

 

In 326 AD, Muiredach Tirech exiled the Three Collas and became High King of Ireland.

In 330 AD, Emperor Constantine renamed the Greek city of Byzantium to New Rome.  He dedicated as the new eastern capital of the Roman Empire, with Rome remaining as the western capital of the Roman Empire.  This moved many of the Roman legions twice as far from Roman Britain, making it harder to continue to occupy and defend.

 

Emperor Constantine also made New Rome as the eastern headquarters of the False Church of Rome.  He dedicated the entire city as tribute to Mary (mother of the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ)).  Mary had been given the title Queen of Heaven by the False Church of Rome to tie her to the idol previously worshiped on Vatican Hill at the site of the original Saint Peter's Basilica.

Around this time High King Ailill died, and his son Luigthig became High King of the Deisi Munan (Deisi of Munster) as well as the next High King of the Deisi.

 

In 335 AD Pope Sylvester I died, and Mark the son of a Roman named Priscus became the next Pope.

In 336 AD Pope Mark confirmed the authority of the Cardinals to approve new Popes like the Roman Senate approved Roman Emperors.  Shortly after that Pope Mark died, and Julius of Rome became the next Pope.

In 337 AD Emperor Constantine died, and his son Constans became emperor of the Western Roman Empire.  New Rome was renamed Constantinople in his honor by his son.

In 340 AD, Corc mac Luigthig was born to High King Luigthig.

 

In 341 AD, Emperor Constans banned sacrifices to the gods of the Roman Paganism.  However, he continued to recognize Rabbinic Judaism as an accepted religion along with that of the False Church of Rome.

 

Also that year, King Vipoig died and Canutulachama became the new king of the Pictland - the united seven kingdoms of the Picts.  The years of preparation by the Picts were over.   

  

So, in 342 AD, war bands of Picts led by King Canutulachama made well organized raids into Roman Britain.

 

The next year, Emperor Constans arrived and put an end to the raids.  He then appointed the Areani (the people of the sheepfolds), descendants of the Caledonians in the Old North to be arcani (secret ones) for the Romans. They were to inform Roman garrisons along Hadrian's Wall of any excursions into the buffer kingdom of the Old North.

 

In 345 AD, King Canutulachama died and Uradech became King of Pictland.

 

That same year, Saint Regulus and Saint Triduana escaped from Emperor Constans at Patras, Greece, for not agreeing with the False Church of Rome.   They made their way to the area of Fife on the eastern shore of Scotland - putting them securely outside the Roman Empire.  

 

When they arrived, they were greeted by King Uradech, who appears to have married Saint Triduana.  They settled in that area and created a community-based teaching center of Celtic Christianity like those in Roman Britain.  Celtic Christianity was already firmly established in other parts of Scotland by this time.

 

[Hundreds of years later, the False Church of Rome invented a "history" where Saint Regulus and Saint Triduana had brought some of the bones of Andrew the Jew (brother of Peter the Jew aka the Apostle Andrew) with them.  For that reason, the city that arose from the community they started came to be called Saint Andrew.

 

They also invented legends about Saint Triduana tearing out her own eyes to keep from marrying the king of Pictland.

 

The kings of Pictland mentioned in this fabricated "history" lived from 100 years to 500 years after the arrival of Saint Regulus and Saint Triduana.  This "history" was obviously the work of liars who were unaware of the real history of the Picts.] 

 

Then the False Church of Rome attempted to establish itself in Roman Britain.

In 347 AD, the False Church of Rome had become established enough in Roman Britain to send representatives to the Council of Serdica called by Pope Julius I.

 

Also that year, King Uradech died and Gartnait II Duberr became king of Pictland.  He began rebuilding the army of the Picts.

Around 350 AD, King Coel Hen died defending the Old North against the Deisi and Picts.  His kingdom was split between Saint Ceneu and his brother Gorbanian. 

 

However, Saint Ceneu was more interested in spreading Celtic Christianity than ruling.  So, his son Eudaf Hen ruled as king in his place.  However, he did retain the land that had been the dowry of his mother as the kingdom of Rheged.

 

Also around that time, Pope Julius I might have decreed that December 25 as the birthday of the Man of Truth in order to make it easier for people to move from the old Roman religion to the new unofficial Roman universal (Catholic) religion.

 

In 352 Pope Julius I died, and Liberius of Rome became then Pope. 

In 356 AD, High King Muiredach was killed by Caelbad, who became the next High King of the Irish.

The next year, High King Caelbad was killed by the son of King Muiredach, Eochaid Mugmedon.  Eochaid Mugmedon then became the new High King of the Irish.  The Romans called him King Achaius.

 

The son of High King Caelbad, Saran mac Coelbad, became king of Dal nAraidi (Dal Araidi) - a kingdom just south of Dal Riata in North Ireland formed by the Cruthin - that year as well.

 

High King Eochaid of the Irish then married Mongfind of the Deisi, the daughter of High King Luigthig, who went on to give him three sons.

 

High King Eochaid of the Irish afterwards began leading raids on Roman Britain where he took slaves.  Among those captured was Cairenn (Carina), the daughter of the King of the British, who he made his second wife.

In 359 AD, the False Church of Rome in Roman Britain sent representatives to the Council of Ariminum.  The was the final time that Roman Britain had representatives to send to the councils of the False Church of Rome.

Then the Romans began losing control of The Old North.

 

War bands of Picts led by King Gartnait II attacked Roman Britain again in 360 AD.

 

Around this same time, Eochaid Muinremuir became king of Dal Riata and began leading the Scoti in raids against the Old North as well as Roman Britain. 

 

In 364 AD, Valentinian I became emperor of the Roman Empire.  Then he made his brother Valens emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, while he was emperor of the Western Roman Empire.  He then renamed the Old North buffer kingdom to Valentia in honor of his brother.

In 365 AD, High King Eochaid of the Irish named Niall of the Nine Hostages, the son of Cairenn, as his successor before he died.  The Ollamh Érenn of High King Eochaid, Torna Éices, then became the foster father of Niall of the Nine Hostages.

(The Ollamh Érenn was the Chief Bard of the Irish.  The bards maintained the oral history of Ireland and the laws of the Dli na Fiene.  The Chief Bard was equal in social status to the High King and was the final judge on all manners concerning the laws of the Dli na Fiene.

 

The bards encoded these things in the form of poems and songs. This encoding helped the bards pass them down word-for-word generation after generation.  It also obscured them from anyone not trained as a bard, so that others were dependent upon the bards in these matters.)

 

Since Niall was too young to take the throne, Crimthann mac Fidaig, the brother of his first wife, Mongfind of the Deisi, became the next High King of Irish.  High King Crimthann was also king of the Ui Laithain (Lienster) in southern Ireland directly across the Irish Sea from Wales.

 

This created peace with the Deisi Munan.  So, they as well as the Irish were able to focus on conducting raids and colonization along the western coast of Roman Britain.

 

High King Crimthann continued leading the Irish in raids from against Roman Britain from the kingdom of the Ui Laithan, where he established a great fortress in Cornwall.  He created colonies of the Ui Liathan in Wales.  He also created colonies along southern Brittany. 

 

While he was away, the three sons of his sister Mongfind of the Deisi attempted to take over his kingdom in Ireland.  Niall of the Nine Hostages fled to an Irish colony in Roman Britain, and Mongfind took his mother, Cairenn, hostage to ensure that he would not lead an attack against her sons.

 

War bands of Picts led by King Gartnait II also attacked Roman Britain again in 365 AD.

 

In 366 AD, Pope Liberius died, and Damasus the son of Antonius of Rome became the next Pope.

 

In 367 AD, Saxons and Franks began conducting raids along the coast of northern Gaul.  Most of the Roman army in Roman Britain was sent to Gaul to help drive them out.  This left Roman Britain vulnerable.

 

That winter, the Picts led by King Gartnait II invaded Roman Britain when the Areani did not report their arrival into Valentia (The Old North) to the Roman garrisons along Hadrian's Wall.  One of the Roman garrisons rebelled when the Picts arrived and let them to enter into Roman Britain.  

 

At the same time, the Scoti from Dal Riata, the Attacotti (Cruthin raiders) from northern Ireland, and Saxons from non-Roman Germany all attacked Roman Britain.  At the same time, native Britons rose up in rebellion against the Romans.  This was known as the Great Conspiracy. 

 

Among those sent by to deal with the Great Conspiracy in 368 AD was General Magnus Maximus.

 

General Maximus married Saint Elen, the daughter of King Eudaf Hen, king of The Old North (Valentia), the son of Saint Ceneu, at this time.  They had five children together.

 

The uncivilized participants were not well organized and soon their efforts became more of a free for all.  By 369 AD, the Romans were once again firmly in control of Roman Britain.

 

(According to Jerome, the Attacotti were a rogue band of the Cruthin, who kept a collective group of women to serve as shared wives and were unaware of who fathered each child.)

 

The Attacotti became a band of soldiers in the Roman army and were sent to Illyricum (Albania).

However, the Romans had effectively lost control of Valentia (The Old North).

 

Then Wales became vulnerable.

Soon, the Romans had to pull all troops out of Wales to deal with the Picts led by King Gartnait II against Roman Britain that bordered the eastern part of the Old North during this time.  They rarely returned once they left.

 

Among those that remained in Wales, was a Roman British Calvary man named Calpurnius stationed near the buffer kingdom of the Old North (Valentia).  

 

Calpurnius was also a deacon in the local Celtic Christian congregation. His father had been the pastor of a Celtic Christian congregation as well.

 

Calpurnius married a Celtic woman named Contablata, probably of Scottish or Irish descent or both. 

 

In 373 AD, Conchessa, her Latin name, gave birth to a son named Patricius.  His Irish name was Padraig, but he came to be more commonly known as Saint Patrick.

About 375 AD, High King Luigthig died and his son Corc mac Luigthig became king of the Deisi Munan as well as the High King of the Deisi.  

 

High King Corc married Aimend, the daughter of King Oengus Bolg, King of the Dairine. He named the Deirgtine that came from his line through her the Eóganachta (descendants of Eogan Mor), after the first king of the Deisi Munan that he descended from.

 

High King Corc then built a fortress on top of the Rock of Cashel and made Cashel the capital of Munster.

 

In 379 AD, Emperor Gratian, son of Emperor Valentinian I, declined to wear the mantle of Pontiff Maximus, which had been worn by Emperors to acknowledge that they were also the head of the Roman religion.  This title was transferred to the Bishop of Rome at this time.

Also that year, High King Crimthann was poisoned by his sister Mongfind of the Deisi, when he returned to Ireland to negotiate a peace to give her sons rule over part of Ireland under him.  

 

Niall of the Nine Hostages returned to Ireland from his exile in Roman Britain, freed his mother, and became the next High King of Ireland as their father had decreed.  High King Niall gave his brothers parts of Ireland to rule under him as King Crimthann had promised.

High King Niall then resumed leading the Irish in raids against Romain Britain, especially Wales and Cornwall. 

 

Then Roman Britain became a refuge for Celtic Christianity.

In 380 AD, General Maximus was brought back to Roman Britain to deal with the invading Picts led by King Gartnait II.

That same year, Eastern Roman Emperor Theodosius I declared the syncretic religion created at the council of Nicaea to be the only Catholic (universal) religion of the Roman Empire.  He ended his decree with a statement that many of the customs of Roman Paganism would be allowed to continue in this new official religion.  Pope Damasus was recognized as the head of the new official universal Roman religion.

So later that year, Pelagius moved from the British Isles to Rome to challenge the moral laxity of the False Church of Rome.  He was highly educated, being fluid in Latin in Greek as well as Brittonic and Gaelic languages of the British Isles.  

 

While in Rome, Pelagius befriended Jerome.  According to Jerome, who ate with him, Pelagius was an Irish man, who had apparently been raised in a Celtic Christian community in Ireland.

 

Then in 381 AD, Eastern Roman Emperor Theodosius I began making laws that punished anyone who did not adhere to this new official religion - Christian or Roman Pagan alike.  For the first time, Rabbinic Judaism was no longer an allowed religion in every part of the Roman Empire.

So, a new round of persecution began in the Eastern Roman Empire.  

 

However, the Children of Truth in Roman Britain did not adopt these practices.  General Maximus was opposed to these laws, and the Romans there were too busy dealing with other issues to attempt enforcement.  

 

So, Roman Britain became a refuge for the Children of Truth across the Western Roman Empire, especially from Gaul.  They feared that these laws would soon be adopted by the Western Roman Empire as well.

Soon, the Romans began withdrawing from Wales. 

 

In 382 AD, Jerome began creating a translation of the entire Book of Truth (The Bible) in Latin while in Rome.  This translation was called the Latin Vulgate because it was written in the everyday Latin spoken by the common people, who were called "vulgar", by speakers of classical Latin.  He began with translating the Vetus Latina from Old Latin.

 

Also that year, Western Roman Emperor Gratian abolished the rights of the priests of the Roman religion and transferred them to the priests of the False Church of Rome.  The process to complete a single universal (Catholic) Roman religion was finished.

 

Under the command of General Maximus in Roman Britain were many of the Children of Truth, especially from Wales.  He had not punishment anyone for not adhering to the official Roman religion in Roman Britain. 

 

So, the troops of General Maximus declared him to be Emperor in 383 AD in response to this further corruption of the False Church of Rome.

 

Emperor Maximus then declared King Eudaf Hen, the grandson of King Coel Hen and the father of his wife - Saint Elen - as the client king over Roman Britain.  He left Caradocus as the king of Cornwall.

As the Romans withdrew from Wales, the raiders and merchants from Ireland began settling in colonies along and near the coast of Wales.   These included the Dalcassians.

 

The Dalcassians had expanded their colony at Dyfed after its founding in 270 AD.  They also had started colonies in Brecon and Cornwall after 300 AD. 

 

Emperor Maximus made an agreement for them to remain in their small kingdoms - if they would help defend the coast of the Irish Sea from Irish pirates.  They wrote the name of the founders of the colonies on stone pillars in British Latin or Ogham or both to ratify this agreement and to mark the territory of each founder.

 

(Ogham was an alphabet used for Gaelic that was based off the Old Latin script introduced to them by missionaries of the Children of Truth.  Old Latin was the writing system of the Vetus Latina that they brought with them.)

 

Before Emperor Maximus withdrew from Wales, he left a Welsh Roman officer under his command named Paternus with orders to keep the Picts from invading Wales by crossing over Hadrian's Wall and to push the rest of the Irish out of Wales.

 

The Welsh name of Paternus was Padarn Beisrudd, which literally means "Paternus of the red tunic".  The red tunic was the standard uniform of a Roman soldier in battle.  His father, Tegid ap Lago, had also been a Welsh Roman officer before him with the Roman name of Tacitus.

 

So, the Children of Truth now had a civilized place where they could live free from persecution by the Romans. 

 

The son of Emperor Maximus and Saint Elen, Saint Peblig (Roman name was Publicus) remained behind in Wales to start a church at Llanbeblig ("Congregation of Beblig" (Beblig is a Welsh variation of Peblig)).

By the end of 383 AD, the Romans left Wales for good.  Their influence on the language and culture of Wales remained strongest in southeast Wales and waned going out from there.

 

Then many of the Welsh Roman Troops were moved into Brittany by Emperor Maximus.

 

Conan Meriadoc, the son of King Eudaf Hen, and the brother of Saint Elen - the wife of Emperor Maximus - was made the Roman client king over that part of Gaul formerly known as Armorica.  He was instructed to create another Britain there.  This area is now known as Brittany in modern France.

The brother of King Conan, Saint Gurthiern, went to Brittany with him and started a community-based teaching center of Celtic Christianity at Quimperlé.

King Conan requested that wives be sent from Roman Britain for him and his men.  Emperor Maximus agreed to arrange it.

 

Emperor Maximus also made an agreement with General Hermeric to give the Suebi, a Germanic tribe, land in Hispania if they would join him as allies.

 

Without the Romans, more and more of the Deisi invaded Wales, with many of them moving into the Dalcassian kingdoms.  The Welsh continued to have to set up defenses against the Picts and the Irish after the Romans left.

 

General Padarn Beisrudd continued to follow the orders that Emperor Maximus had left for him.  He remained in Wales to help organize the Welsh to resist the invading Irish with the help of the Dalcassian kingdoms, but he lacked the resources to push them out.

 

In 384 AD, invading Picts led by King Gartnait II attacked Roman Britain again, but it was short lived.

That same year Pope Damasus I died, and Siricius the son of Tiburtius of Rome became the next Pope.

 

In 385 AD, persecution for his translation work forced Jerome to flee Rome and move to Bethlehem.  Pelagius went with him. 

 

Jerome continued working on his translation there.  This gave him access to many more source documents, including Hebrew copies of the entire Original Covenant (Tanakh aka The Old Testament) and Greek copies of the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament).

 

Also around this time, King Vortigern married Sevira, the daughter of Emperor Maximus.  He was recognized as the first High King of the British since High King Lucius had died in 156 AD.

 

In 387 AD, King Gartnait II died and Talorc mac Achiuir became the king of Pictland. King Talorc mac Achiuir soon met Saint Ninian and came into the House of Truth.  

 

Saint Ninian then brought many of the Picts in southern Pictland into the House of Truth.  So, Celtic Christianity spread throughout southern Pictland (southeast Scotland).

Around this same time, Emperor Maximus appointed Anwn Ddu (Antonius the Black) to be the Roman client king of Dyfed as well as Gwent.  This kingdom was along the south-eastern coast of Wales through the southern interior and to the south western coast of Wales.

 

In 388 AD, King Caradocus died, and Emperor Maximus made his brother Dionotus king of Cornwall in his place.  

 

King Dionotus then sent his daughter Saint Ursula to Brittany to be the wife of King Conan along with many young virgins from Roman Britain to be wives of his men.

Saint Ursula died childless soon after.  

 

Among those who came to Brittany was Saint Darerca (Darerca of Ireland), the sister of Saint Patrick.  She soon became the second wife of King Conan.  They had a son named Gradlon Mawr.

 

Emperor Maximus then sent General Gracianus Municeps to defend Roman Britain from the Picts led by King Talorc mac Achiuir and an army of Huns who had allied themselves with the Picts.

 

Later in 388 AD, Emperor Maximus died and Valentinian II, the son of Valentinian I, became the Western Roman Emperor.  The troops of Emperor Maximus in the mainland of Europe fled to Brittany to be settled there as part of the army of King Conan.  

 

Emperor Valentinian II refused to give the land to the Suebi that Emperor Maximus had promised them for their help in fighting against his enemies.  This turned General Hermeric into an enemy of the Romans.  So, he began leading the Suebi in conquering the land in Hispania that Emperor Maximus had promised.

 

Around this time, Saint Cadou set up a community-based teaching center of Celtic Christianity on an isle off the coast of Brittany that bears his name.

 

Soon after that, King Dionotus died.

 

This led to a period of upheaval within Roman Britain.

 

General Gracianus declared himself to be the king of Roman Britain.  He began a reign of terror.

In 389 AD, Saint Patrick was captured by Irish raiders at sixteen years of age.  He was sold into slavery in Ireland, where he became a shepherd.  While tending the sheep, he came into the House of Truth.

 

Around this time Saint Ceneu died and his son Gorwst became the next king of Rheged.

In 392 AD, Valentinian II died under mysterious circumstances and Eugenius was declared as Western Roman Emperor by Frankish units of the Roman army.

In 394 AD, Eastern Roman Emperor Theodosius I killed Western Emperor Eugenius.  The Roman Empire was united under a single emperor for the last time.

In 395 AD, Emperor Theodosius I outlawed Roman Paganism in favor of the religion of the False Church of Rome.  He also divided the Roman Empire for the final time.

 

When Emperor Theodosius I died, his son Honorius was made Western Roman Emperor.  However, Honorius did whatever General Stilicho advised.

 

That same year, Saint Patrick escaped slavery and returned to his home.  His father had retired from the Roman army and taught him how to follow the Man of Truth more fully in the manner that Saint Ilid had taught the British Celts.

 

In 396 AD, General Stilicho led a successful campaign that expelled invading Scoti, Saxons, and Picts from Roman Britain.  However, he soon had to send most of the Roman army to Gaul.

 

In 397 AD, Saint Ninian returned to the Old North to build a church of white stone and lime called Whithorn ("White House").  This part of the Old North would soon become the kingdom of Alt Clut with Coroticus (Ceretic Guletic) as its first king.

 

In 398 AD, King Gracianus was assassinated by a group of commoners.

 

Right after that, Roman Britain began being taken over by followers of the Druids.

 

The Romans soon had to fight another war against invading Picts led by King Talorc mac Achiuir. 

 

General Stilicho soon found that the remaining Romans in Roman Britain needed to hire mercenaries to help in their fight.

In 399 AD, Pope Siricius died, and Anastasius the son of Maximus of Rome became the next Pope.

According to Gildas the Wise, mercenary Saxons were first invited by a Roman treaty to settle in land in the east part of Roman Britain and to be given a stated amount of supplies, including food, in exchange for defending the British against the Picts and the Scoti (Scots) around 400 AD.

The Venerable Bede explains that the mercenary Saxons were really a mix of people from three different Germanic tribes - the Saxons, the Anglos, and the Jutes.  This mixed group, and the Frisians who came later, are collectively called the Anglo-Saxons, because the majority were either Anglos or Saxons.

Even though the Children of Truth were well established in Roman Britain by this time, these Anglo-Saxons still worshiped the same deities as most of the Celtic people outside of the Roman Empire.

 

In Roman Britain, all these invasions by groups who still followed the Druids made an impact on Roman Britain.  There was a revival of the religion of the Druids among the native people of Roman Britain.

 

The native people had adapted to the idolatry of the Roman religion - but not the practices of the False Church of Rome.  So, they were returning to the religion of their ancestors that these invaders brought with them.

The Children of Truth in Roman Britain had done little to bring these invaders into the House of Truth.  Their main focus had been to push the False Church of Rome out of the British Isles. 

 

However, Celtic Christianity had grown outside of Roman Britain during this time, particularly in Ireland.

 

The Gallarus Oratory, the oldest church building in Ireland, may have been built during this time.

 

However, the Children of Truth in these lands were scattered and not well connected with each other.  They had not had much impact on the Gaelic language yet, with Primitive Irish still be the form used in Ireland as well as parts of Scotland, Wales, and Cornwall.

 

Around 400 AD, Saint Patrick had a vision of the people of Ireland calling him to return to them.  According to his own writings, he answered the call immediately and arrived in Ireland that same year.

 

Soon, Saint Díchu was persuaded to leave the religion of the Druids by Saint Patrick.  He then went with Saint Patrick to help spread Celtic Christianity throughout Ireland.

 

Soon afterwards, Saint Patrick arrived in Ireland, he was violently opposed by King Saran in Dal Araidi as well as the Druids who advised the king.

 

However, his brother Condlae mac Coelbad came into the House of Truth and gave Saint Patrick Domnach Combair to start a church there.  Saint Patrick established the first Celtic Christian community in Ireland there.

 

Saint Patrick also blessed Condlae with a prophecy that he and his descendants would rule Dal Araidi instead of King Saran and his descendants.  King Saran died soon afterwards, and Condlae became the king of Dal Araidi.

 

However, Saint Patrick was not the first of the Children of Truth to come to Ireland. The earliest ones were Roman merchants who lived in Ireland around 200 AD.

 

There were four saints in Ireland before Saint Patrick was even born whose names have survived.  They were Saint Camulacus, Saint Caetiacus, Saint Etchen and Saint Teagáin.  Even King Cormac, the High King of the Irish, had come into the House of Truth in 266 AD.

The time for the Romans to leave the British Isles had arrived.

 

In 401 AD, General Stilicho removed all remaining Roman army units from Hadrian's Wall to fight invading Goths on the mainland of Europe.  This left Roman Britain defenseless against the Picts led by King Talorc mac Achiuir.

General Constantine III soon became the new King of Roman Britain.

Also that year Pope Anastasius died and his son Innocent

 

Jerome finished his translation of the Book of Truth into Latin in 405 AD.  Soon, some the Children of Truth who had made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem returned to Roman Britain with copies of the Latin Vulgate. 

 

That same year, High King Niall was killed while raiding Roman Britain. Nath I, the son of Fiachrae, one of the half-brothers of High King Niall by Mongfind of the Deisi, became the next High King of the Irish, after a short civil war.

High King Nath I then began leading raids to colonize parts of Dal Riata. Soon King Eochaid of Dal Riata died, and his son Erc became the king of Dal Riata.  

 

King Erc successfully expelled most of the Irish colonists from Dal Riata. Some of these Irish colonists immigrated into Pictland to colonize the area of Ath-Fotla (New Ireland).

 

In 406 AD, the soldiers in the Roman army in Roman Britain openly revolted over not being paid.  

 

In 407 AD, they proclaimed King Constantine III as Emperor.  He soon led all of the mobile units of the Roman army out of Roman Britain. 

Around this time, King Conan sought to arrange a political marriage for his son Saint Meriasek.  However, Saint Meriasek renounced his inheritance and went to Cornwall to help the people there continue in the practices of Celtic Christianity.

 

Soon, afterwards King Conan died, and his son Gradlon became the new king of Brittany.  His wife Darerca then married Chonas the Briton and moved to Ireland to start a Celtic Christianity congregation there.

 

Also around this time, High King Corc married Mongfind of the Picts, the daughter of King Talorc mac Achiuir, creating a political union between the Deisi Munan and Pictland.  (Mongfind of the Picts and Mongfind of the Deisi were both named after Mongfind - a goddess in the religion of the Druids.)

 

So Vortigern, High King of the British invited Saxons to come help Roman Britain against invading Picts, Irish, Scoti, and Deisi.  The invited Saxons soon began their own invasion of Roman Britain.

 

Also that year, the exiled king of the Deisi, King Urb mac Áeda, died in Dyfed.  His son, Cormach mac Urb became the next king over the exiled Deisi. 

Soon afterwards, King Cormach mac Urb led some of the exiled Deisi back to Ireland.

 

In 408 AD, the British repelled an invasion of Saxons from Roman Britain without any help form the remaining unpaid Roman army. 

 

So, the next year the British expelled the Roman governing officials from Roman Britain according to Zosimus.  

 

Around that same time, King Anwn Ddu died and divided his kingdom between his two sons.  

 

His elder son Edynfed ap Anwn received the eastern part of the kingdom of Gwent as his principality as well as the area around Dyfed.  His younger son, Tudwal ap Anwn, ruled over the rest of the kingdom of Gwent that included the part along the southeast coast of Wales as his principality.

 

In 410 AD, the British client kings and generals sent an appeal to Emperor Honorius for help to keep Roman Britain from being overran.

Later that year, Rome was sacked by the Visigoths.  By this time, the people of Rome were almost completely devoted to following the universal Roman religion that remained headquartered there and led by Pope Innocent I.

Emperor Constantine III was executed in 411 AD by the Emperor Honorius.  

 

So, Emperor Honorius sent a letter to the citizens of Roman Britain that they would have to take care of their own defense.  He also called for the remaining Roman soldiers to leave Britain, although many stayed.  

 

The Romans never returned.

 

The expulsion of the Romans was finished. 

 

General Padarn Beisrudd died around that time.  His son Edern, whose Roman name was Eternus, continued to lead the Romano-British in following the orders that Emperor Maximus had left his father concerning the invading Irish and Picts.  He was joined by his son Cunedda.

By this time, Saint Patrick had already established numerous congregations in Ireland and was bringing thousands of the Irish into the House of Truth.  Among them was the son of one of the 120 kings of Ireland, Saint Benignus.

At this time, the main languages in former Roman Britain were Celtic British and the British Latin.  

 

The False Church of Rome had been driven out of the British Isles with the Romans.  However, it had been replaced by the religion of the Druids that was practiced by the hordes of Irish, Deisi, Dalcassians, Scoti, Picts, Anglos, Saxons, and others who had driven out the Romans.

The Children of Truth that remained in what became England lived as a minority among a population that had reverted to the religion of the Druids.  Roman cities like Canterbury were abandon as well as the church that had been built there.

 

So, many of the Children of Truth in England fled to Wales, Cornwall, and Brittany.  Wales became the new stronghold of Celtic Christianity.

 

The practices of the Apostles of Truth were being preserved by Celtic Christianity in its original form.

 

The British Isles were the last great refuge for the Children of Truth.  

 

The British Isles had been kept out of the hands of the False Church of Rome.

 

The False Church of Rome had begun leading people in worshiping the Queen of Heaven, who they proclaimed to now be Mary (mother of the Man of Truth).

It was worshiping the Queen of Heaven that had provoked the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) against the people of Judah (Jeremiah 7:17-19).  

 

Yet even after they had been cast them out of their land for worshiping the Queen of Heaven, the people of Judah refused to hear His Word in the land of their refuge (Jeremiah 44:13-16).  They insisted on continuing in their worship of the Queen of Heaven (Jeremiah 44:17-19).

So, the Father of Truth allowed them to worship the Queen of Heaven in the land of their refuge and then sent destruction upon them for doing so (Jeremiah 44:25-27).  He wanted everyone to understand that those who worship the Queen of Heaven were His enemies (Jeremiah 44:28-30).

The Apostles of Truth were sent to give the Good News to the Gentiles to deliver them from this destruction (Acts 26:16-18).  They were sent to turn the Gentiles to worship the Father of Truth (Acts 26:19-20).  

 

The Apostles of Truth turned many Gentiles from worshiping the Queen of Heaven (Diana) (Acts 19:26-27).  These Gentiles turned from worshiping idols when they heard the Good News (1 Thessalonians 1:8-10).

Yet, afterwards some of them began following a different Gospel than the one taught by the Apostles of Truth (Galatians 1:6-9).  They had returned to observing the same practices that they had used in worshiping idols, including the Queen of Heaven (Galatians 4:8-11).  

 

Some of those who taught them to do so, turned against the very Apostles of Truth who had brought them the Gospel (2 Timothy 1:15).  Others separated themselves from those who followed the practices taught by the Apostles of Truth, because they were not preaching the same Gospel as the Apostles of Truth (1 John 2:18-19).

 

Even while the Apostles of Truth were alive, some began preaching another Gospel based on another Jesus, which had been given by another spirit (2 Corinthians 11:3-4).  These Apostles of Lies transformed themselves to appear to be ministers of righteous, just like the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil) had transformed himself to look like an Angel of Truth (2 Corinthians 11:13-15).

These Teachers of Lies caused the Word of Truth to be spoken evil of by others and used insincere words to get money from the Children of Truth (2 Peter 2:1-3). They turned from the commandments of the Apostles of Truth to teach people to return to the corrupt practices of idolatry (2 Peter 2:18-22).

 

They even cast out the Apostles of Truth and those who followed the teachings of the Apostles of Truth out of the very congregations that the Apostles of Truth had started (3 John 1:9-10).

 

The Man of Truth had warned that these Prophets of Lies were like wolves dressed like sheep, who would try to come to get the Children of Truth off the narrow path that leads to life (Matthew 7:13-15).  Even though these workers of iniquity called the Man of Truth, "Lord", and did miraculous works in his name, they did not do the will of the Father of Truth (Matthew 7:21-23).

The Apostles of Truth had warned that these wolves would arise up within the very congregations that they had started - to draw disciples to follow them in a false Gospel as soon as the Apostles of Truth were gone (Acts 20:28-30).  They warned that people would turn from the Gospel to follow fables from idolatry instead (2 Timothy 4:3-4).

So, the Celtic Children of Truth followed the commandment of the Apostles of Truth to withdraw themselves from the False Church of Rome - who taught traditions different than those taught by the Apostles of Truth (2 Thessalonians 3:6).  They obeyed the commandment to withdraw themselves from these proud men who knew nothing because they would not consent to doctrine taught by the Man of Truth (1 Timothy 6:3-5).

These Celtic Children of Truth obeyed the commandment of the Apostles of Truth to mark those who caused divisions by teaching a different doctrine than the one taught by the Apostles of Truth by avoiding the False Church of Rome (Romans 16:17-18).  They obeyed the commandment to turn away from these religious leaders who appeared to followers of the Father of Truth - yet denied the power of the Good News due to their corrupt minds that was resisted the truth taught by the Apostles of Truth  - while rebelling against the faith of the Apostles of Truth (2 Timothy 3:5-8).

So, these Celtic Children of Truth were delivered from these pawns of the Father of Lies (Romans 16:19-20).  Their prayer that the Good News would grow among the people of the British Isles while they were delivered from these unreasonable and wicked men of the False Church of Rome had been answered (2 Thessalonians 3:1-2)!

 

So, will you also be delivered from the False Church of Rome and its doctrine?

 

The Man of Truth died so you could be delivered from the False of Church of Rome and its doctrine that came from idolatry (Galatians 1:3-5).  So, live in this present world according to the teachings of the Apostles of Truth that came from the Father of Truth (Titus 2:11-15).

Do not let yourself be robbed of every good thing the Father of Truth wants to give you, by following the traditions of idolatry taught by the False Church of Rome (Colossians 2:6-8).  Follow the traditions taught by the Apostles of Truth instead (2 Thessalonians 2:13-15).

So, come into the House of Truth by obeying the Man of Truth in everything, because you believe that his Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).  After all, he poured out his own blood to redeem you from these traditions that come from idolatry (1 Peter 1:18-19).

Come into the House of Truth!
