[Direct Linage1.FTW]
By the mid to late 300's, the situation in the Western Empire was starting
to worsen. In 383, Magnus Maximus (the Macsen Wledig who shows up now and
again in Welsh lore) began his campaign to unseat Gratian, the newest
ruler of the West. Magnus drew his forces from Britain, marched south and
was defeated on July 28, 388. Archeologists have confirmed that by 390,
there were few, if any, Roman forces left in Britain.
