You know the drill. At this point it’s mostly cleanup and refinement. There are a lot of dates to set and with the fuzzy historical record, I have to make all the pieces fit as best I can. I take some liberties, but ever since I got a more complete record, a lot of those liberties have been scaled back. Adoptions, fosterings, co-kings, and identically named children are among my techniques to sort out the contradictions. I’ve insanely extended my timeline out to the 9th Century just because that’s around the time a lot of the kingdoms I’m working with finally fall out. (For reference, I set the Battle of Camlann at 537 and start the main narrative with Constantine III’s claim to Rome in 407.)

I believe I’m starting to lose steam, though (I say coming back from a half-hour detour chronicling the rulers of Strathclyde). Probably about time I switch over to something else for a while and recharge my batteries. We’ll see what I hop on next. Stay tuned.
