Hi, Vortigern.
Yes. I was working on the 'last 70 years' as starting with the death of Constantine and the 'chain of events that were to prove very serious for Britain' (Salway). I know that c.410 etc is seen as something of a cliche in some circles, but it is, nevertheless, a defining period of time. Salway (Oxford illustrated version) Ch. 16 p306 et seq (for me anyway) is a compelling version of events.
Regards,
