CARADOC AGAINST THE SAXONS The occupation of Britain by the Romans from 43 AD to 476 AD resulted in most of Wales including the Silurian kingdom of Gwent in southeastern Wales being conquered. Caradoc Freichfras, King of Gwent in 550 AD, was aware of how the Romans defeated Caratacus, Silurian king in 52 AD, Boadecia, Queen of the Iceni British tribe in 60 AD, and later the Caledonians and Picts of Scotland, from what his ancestors told him. As the Romans left and the Saxons arrived at the invitation of Vortigern, the High-King of Britain, to fight the northern tribes of Scotland as they raided England, he was also aware of how the British tried to stop the subsequent invasion of the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes into the southern Britain about 410 AD to 550 AD. Not wanting his homeland of Gwent to be taken by the aggressive Saxons, Caradoc and other Welsh kings stopped the Saxon advance at the battle of Tintern Forest in southeastern Wales in 584 AD and the Saxons never returned to the land claimed by the Celts as early as 600 BC.
