Gildas: The Monk Who Began the Historical View

It is a bleak picture indeed that Gildas paints for us, a picture of good and evil, of brave deeds and foolish deeds, of hunger and want, of loss and hopes for repentance. Gildas was the first but by no means the last monk to write of this time, for it was the clergy who kept the histories in those days, and for that we can be thankful.
