Mid 10th Century:  First Temple of Solomon is built and houses the Ark of the covenant.

587 the Temple of Solomon is destroyed when the Babylonians under King Nebuchadrezzer conquered Jerusalem

538 BC King Cyrussll of Persia defeated the Babylonians and allowed Jews to return to Jerusalem led by Zerubbabel to finish the second Temple in 515 BC

509 BC:  Roman Republic begins.  Republican government and senate gives autocratic rule to the King and democratic excesses.  The overthrow of the last Tarqunian dynasty.  Noble families form the Senate to offset the Patriarch of Rome

60 BC:  Triumvirate :  Pmpeii, Crassus and Julias Ceasar war for power.  Julias is Victorious

43 BC:  Jewish Revolt begins after the Romans re-establish Judea under King Herod.  Herod was Jewish but sought to Romanize the realm and completed the second Temple.

27 BC:  Senate declares Octavian (Julias Nephew) as Agustus Ceasar.  The Roman Empire replaces the Roman Republic.  From here on the Emperor has ever increasing power.  Republican government gives way to tyranny.  Emperor becomes estranged from the Senate.  Rome's addiction to abortion and infanticide helps to decrease the Roman population as well as the Bubonic and other plagues.  Population decrease paves the way for immigrant settlement.

German tribes take over Roman territory to house expanding populations.  Germans are initially from Scandinavia and believe in animism, human sacrifice and runic magical writing.   A decrease in Roman patriotism leaves more doors open for immigrant settlement and unease in the Western Roman Empire.

7 BC:  Another rebellion results in the destruction of the second temple at the hands of Roman Ceasar Titus.  Thousands of Jews are killed.  Roman occupation fosters the messianic belief of the Jews in populace and they preach that a messiah will come to end the evil, (which is the Roman Empire)

2nd Century AD:   Ecclesiastical councils and synods started.  Standardization of the Bible begins to happen and mystic texts are excised from the canon.

3rd Century AD:   Only Bishops are now allowed to attend councils.  Sin becomes the obsessive concern.  Baptism, communion, confirmation, penance, marriage and cleansing of extreme unction at death as well as ordination of priests is instituted. Christianity becomes indoctrinated and 15 million or 25% of the population of the Roman Empire are converted.

Patriarchs reined over Aggregate Sees.  Constantinople, Jerusalem Antioch, Alexandria and Rome.  Power of church becomes de-centralised.  Rome becomes the center in the West.  The Pope of Rome is the patriarch of the Roman Church founded by Peter and Western Catholicism is official.

4th century:  The first Latin translation of the New Testament is printed.

5th Century:  Supremacy of Roman Bishop as Pope is instated.  The Roman republic state is in decline and the Roman church grows in power.

285:  Diocletian divides the Empire between the East and West (Rome in the West, Constantinople in the East aka:  Byzantium) Diocletian moves his capitol to Nicodemia in Asia Minor several miles from Byzantium.  The Senate still meets in Rome and the seat of the government is removed from Italy.  The role of the Senate is bypassed.  Diocletian claims the embodiement of Jupiter and the supreme right to rule.  Taxation demoralizes the wealthy to the extent they must abandon their properties.  Inflation happens.  Christianity refuses to acknowledge the Emperor and Rome resents the Christian doctrines.  Tolerance declines.

300 :  Rivalry between the eastern empire and western empire ensues.  (Rome and Constantinople)

303 Armenia adopts Christinaity as the state religion.  Diocletion begins 8 years of persecution against Christianity and many thousand Christians are killed In the name of the Pagan god Jupiter.

400-600 AD:  Ruin and conquest of Britain by Roman invasion.  Most of Britain (south of Hadrians Wall) had been part of theRoman Empire for over three and a half centuries and all free born Britons had been roman citizens for half that time.  Christianity was well established and the cities remained relatively properous.  The preceeding half of the century had seen raids by barbarians, Picts from the north, Scots from Ireland and the Saxons (generic term for for north western Germanic tribes including Jutes, Angles and Fesians as well as Saxons.)

402:  Stilcho withdraws some legions from Britain to face a threat to Italy by the Goths

410  The Western empire of Rome falls to Alaric and the Goth / Germanic tribes

435:  Meirchion Merionydd, King of Merionydd ( in Wales):  Meirchion was the son of Cunedda Wiedig's eldest boy Typipion.  Typipion had died some years prior to Cunedda's migration south from Manau Gododdin, so it was left to Meirchion to take his father's place in fighting the invading Irish.  He killed their leader, Beli mac Benlli Gawr (the Giant) and drove them from North Wales.  As a reward, his grandfather handed over him the area  that became known as Meirionydd in his honour.  Meirchion ruled wisely for many years and had three sons:  Cadwaladr, Cadwallon and Bleiddud

440:  Vortigern comes to power as the head of the council of Britain

 460:  b.  Cadwaladr is possibly thought to be one and the same as King Aruthur by some historians and is the first of the Pendragon Grail kings in the British Isles.   Cadwaladr means "battle leader" a name possibly rendered into Latin as the title used for Arthur by Nennius, "Dux Bellorum"

465-470 other historians place the birth of King Arthur around this time...

471:  Vortigern takes power again and invites Hengest and his army back

472:  German armies control West Roman Empire.  Latin becomes a dead language.  In Britain,  In a meeting with the councile of Britain, Hengest's men murder all 300 British elders by surprise and ransome Vortigern for Essex and Sussex.  Vortigern hands over power to Ambrosious Aurelianus. 

466-473:  minimal Saxon activity in Britain and hillforts are fortified.

473:  Men of Kent under Hengest move westward driving Britons back before them "as one flees fire"

475:  Ambrosius Aurelianus rallies the Britons and defeats the English (Angles and Saxons).  Fortunes of war fluctuate until 518.  His brother Uther Pendragon, takes over when Ambrosius is poisoned.  he is according to the medieval historian Geoffry of Monmouth, the father of King Arthur.  There is no proof that Uther Pendragon really existed, though scholars believe he may have lived sometime during hte mid late 400's.  To the ancient Welsh and Britons the fearsome dragon became known as teh Pendragon, the chief dragon, a symbol of national pride and of war.  The Red Dragon of Wales was brought to Britain by the Romans who had copied it from the Parthians.  The white dragon was the emblem of the Saxons.   This was then the name given to Uther High King of Britain.  This name was the title of Kings, and therefore given to Arthur upon the death of Uther, the dux bellorum, "the leader in war"

477:  Saxon Chieftain Aelle lands on Sussex coast with his sons.  Britons engage him upon landing but his superior force besieges them at Pevensey and drives them into the Weald.  Over the next nine years, Saxon coastal holdings gradually expand in Sussex.

495:  Arthur takes over from Ambrosius as Dux Bellorus of the Britons.  He is victorious over the English in Lindsey, the Picts in Caledonia and the Irish in Carleon.  The Germanic King Cerdic and is son Cynric, land somewhere on the south coast, probably near the Hampshire Dorset border.  they establish the beginnings of the Kingdom of Wessex.  King Gwynllyw of Gwynllwg carries of Princess Gwlady's of Brycheiniog.  War between the two kingdoms narrowly avoided by the intercession of the legendary ARthur.  The couple marry.

516:  the Battle of Badon (Bath) according to Annales Cambiae

518:  The Battle of Badon according to  Gildas in which Arthur defeats the English. Aelle (probably the English leader) and Cerdic die.  Britain is partitioned by treaty between the British and the English.  Gildas is born

496-550:  Following the victory at Mt. Badon, the Saxon advance is halted with the invaders returning to their own enclaves, many (in the 530's) Saxons migrate back to Germany.  A generation of peace ensues.  Curruption, civil turmoil, public forgetfulness and apathy further erode Romano British culture over next fifty years, making Britain ripe for final Saxon picking.

500-17:  King Cadwallon Lawhir (brother of Cadwaladr?) expels the Irish from Anglessey

508:  King Cerdic of Wessex begins to move inland and defeats British King Nudd-Ludd (Natanleod) at the Battle of Netley

517:  Death of King Cadwallon Lawhir of Gwynedd.  His son, Maelgwn takes the throne, murders his uncle probably King Owain Danwyn of Rhos and re unites teh two kingdoms.

517-49:  King Maelgwn flourishes in Gwynedd.  Invades Dyfed and tries to assert himself as High King of Britain. 

527-65:  Constantinople is ruled by Justinian and centralizes the Christian monarchy in the East.  the Code of Justinian endorses civil and ecclesiastical law and medieval Kingship.  Christianity is the sole legal faith.  the Church is subservient to the Emperor.  Neoplatonic academies are closed in Athens, Greece

537:  The Strife of Camlann according to Annales Cambriae.  Fought between the forces of Arthur and Mordred (Medraut).  Death (or unspecified other demise) of Arthur (according to Geoffrey of Monmouth)

539: According to Gildas, Arthur dies in civil war probably against Medraut.

542:  The Death of Arthur (ref:  History of the Kings of Britain Geoffrey on Monmouth).  According t bard-song legends, after the battle of Camlan in Cornwall, where Modred was slain and Arthur wounded, Morgan le Fay an elfin lady conveyed the body to Glastonbury to cure it; which done, Arthur is to return to the rule of his country (also known as the prophecy of Merlin)

545 Gildas writes:  "The Ruin of Britain"

573:  Kings Peredyr and Gwrgi of Ebrauc ally themselves with Kings Dunaut Bwr of the Northern Pennines and Riderch Hael of Strathclyde.  They march north to claim the fort at Caerlaverock from King Gwendoleu of Caer Gwendoleu.  The latter was killedi n the battle of Arthuret and his bard Myrddin, is forced to flee inot the Caledonian Forest. (Could this be Merlin?)

614:  Persian King Khosrow II declares war on Byzantium and Holy War against Christianity.  Persian armies sack Jerusalem, and 90 thousand Christians are killed

622:  Prophet Muhammed arrives and the faith of Islam is founded

628:  Byzantium is under rule of Emperor Heraclius who defeats Khosrow and steals the sacred relic of the wood of the cross.  Khosrow's son makes peace with Heraclius and returns the cross.

633:  The British, under King Cadwallon of Gwynedd (another one), meet the Northumbrians in the Battle of Hatfield Chase.  King Edwin of Deira is killed in the fighting and Cadwallon is victorious.  Cadwallon is later besieged at York by Edwin's cousine and successor, Osric.  The former is again victorious.

634:  King Cadwallon of Gwynedd slays both kings Eanfrith of Bernicia and Osric of Deira rather than negotiate peace with them.  Eanfriths half brother Oswald succeeds to a united Northumbria.  He gathers a force and clashes with King Cadwallon of Gwynedd at the Battle of Heavenfield.  Cadwallon is killed and Oswald victorious. 

640:  Islam  defeats much of the East Empire

664:  The death of Cadwaladr marked the end of any hopes of the Britons regaining their ancient kingdoms on the mainland.  Cadwaladr was the son of Cadwallon of Gwynedd, whose intention, according to historian Bede, had been to exterminate the English race.  The death of Cadwaladr's father in Rome is the starting point of the Brut y Tywysogyon, the chronicle of the Welsh princes.  The author of the brut stated "And from that time onwards the Britons lost the crown of the kingdom and the Saxons won it"  It was apparent that it was all over for Cadwaladr as King of the Britons before he even started his reign.

Descent from a King Cadwaladr (678) has been claimed by the Blayney family through the line of Brochwel Ysgrithog, Prince of Pwys with subsequent Keynsham (near Bristol) and Evesham (In Worchester) branches in England.

Battles and rivalry between the forces of the Celts and the Saxons continued until eventually in the eighth century, a line was drawn by the Saxon King Offa of Mercia who built a Dyke separating what was Celtic Wales (and the Red Dragon) from Saxon England (and the White dragon).  The people of Wales would have to wait for the Tudors to re-establish any claim to the throne of Britain.  It is significant, therefore at Bosworth Field in 1485, the Red Dragon of Cadwaladr was carried by Henry Tudor in his defeat of Richard III.

673-78:  Islam fails an attempt on Constantiople.  Literacy is completely controlled by the Christian church. 

688:  King Cadwaladr Fendigaid of Gwynedd dies on a pilgrimage to  Rome. 

King  St. Cadwaladr Fendigaid "Blessed" was the last monarch to have any semblance of authority of the other Celtic Kings of Britain.  He appears to have helped Penda of Mercia carry on his father Cadwallons fight against the Northumbrians, though it is uncertain whether his men were present at King Oswalds final defeat at the Battle of maes Cogwy in 642.  Tradition says he was ill for much of his reign, during which time, a Civil War broke out in Britain.  This was not helped by a widespread famine, followed by a plague, that swept through the country at the same time.  it is possible that Cadwaladr died of this plague in 664 but another theory has him fleeing to Brittany, where he accepted the hospitality of King Alain Hir (the tall).  Many years later, when the natural disasters abated, Cadwaladr sent his son lfwr, back to Britain to secure the royal throne, while he went on a pilgrimage to Rome.  He died there in 688.  His body was brought back to Wales and buried in his church of Llangadwaladr on Ynes Mon Anglesey)

So we have two King Cadwalladers of Cambria, Cadwaladr, King of Meirionydd b 460 who had a brother Cadwallon /  and St. Cadwaladr Fendigaid, King of Gwynedd (c. 630-664) whose father was called Cadwallon, both however were "Kings of the Britons" and of significance (even if neither is King Arthur). 

Fuedalism Begins followed by the age of Chivalry
