  • The Greater Chronicle (in Latin the Chronica maiore), comprises chapter 66 of Bede’s On the Reckoning of Time (in Latin De Tempoum Ratione). This is a chronicle intended to be a basis for other historians. Bede, along with much else, includes dates and events concerning Britain between the departure of the Romans and the conversion of the Saxons of Kent by Saint Augustine, giving more details of chronology then provided in his Ecclesiastical History and there are occasionally slight differences. Accordingly, the sections relating to this period between the years 398–493 are presented here in the translation of J. A. Giles, very slightly modified with additional paragraphing, respelling of some names, and some changes in capitalization. The translation is in the public domain and is good enough. Note that here Bede uses a dating system from the supposed creation of the world. The dates in square brackets are added by Giles to provide the corresponding year date according to what is now the normal Christian system. Material related to Britain has been reproduced in a larger typeface. The translation begins:
