Saxon pirates raid Britain, which Constantine has left defenseless.

The Roman inhabitants of Britain and Armorica, obviously upset that Constantine can no longer effectively defend them, rebel and expel his officials.

Western Emperor Honorius sends his Rescript (diplomatic letters) to the Romano-British magistrates, where he explains that the cities in Britain must provide for their own defense against the Angles, Jutes, and Saxons.

This effectively ends Roman rule in Great Britain.
