This is really a Northern European problem and was not overcome until the coming of Christianity brought literacy and, thus, happenings, and folk memories begam to be written down. Having said that it should be noted that Irish monks were still writing events down and, indeed, it was they who spread Christianity to the Northern English Kingdoms. This is why early historians, had little idea of what happened between the withdrawals of the Legions, and the rationalisation of the English [Anglo-Saxon) influx into the Five Kingdoms.  The Welsh had stories and some vague writings about Arthur, as did their exiled fellow Britons in Brittany, which were tales of Briton resistance to the English, but the maintales of Arthur are from the High Middle Ages and reflect teh ideas and attitudes of that time. English written history comes mainly from The Anglos-Saxon Chronicle that was ordered to be written by King Alfred and the ASC continued to be written until teh early 1200s. The ASC histories of teh time prior to Alfred&#039;s reign are folk history and are of varied accuracy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

They had heard rumours of [[King Arthur]] but lacking documentary proof he existed, they dismissed him. They had [[ecclesiastical]] works, most of which they dismissed as [[hagiography]], collected [[pagan]] [[mythology|legend]] (all, of course, untrue) and milleniallist rantings. They had occasional chronicles, which were unsupported by &quot;hard evidence&quot; (such as earlier academics&#039; learned disquisitions, or undemolished buildings).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

([[Canute_the_Great|Cnut]] obviously didn&#039;t count -- he did silly things with thrones and tides and anyway, he was Norse.)  The historians&#039; definition of Full Daylight probably coincided with [[Edward the Confessor]], since they knew he was supposed to have been a learned man, and since they needed to discuss whether [[Harold Godwinson ]] had or had not sworn holy oaths to [[William the Bastard]] prior to his (Harold&#039;s) seizure of the [[throne]] on Edward&#039;s death, and therefore whether William was a bloody invader, or simply a man coming to claim his rightful realm.  (Since [[Hardrada]] died, he was damned as an invader either way.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
