Sometime around 500 a British monk was born he was known as Gildas Sapiens or Gildas the Wise, no one is quite sure where he was born some say the north of England which could have been part of the more northern area of Yorkshire. He was a very well educated person, however some of the things he would describe were believed to have been of a biblical fire and brimstone nature, making him appear as nutty as a fruit cake! That has now changed with scientists now studying much more closely the things he was talking about.
