: > I get kind of worked up when I hear that a small group of people sits on something of common interest and will not share it. The feudalism discussion is interesting, I threaten once again to become involved. However, for now, I can only provide a link to a great scholar's homepage, he has much knowledge of the fifth century- actually he has written a book named "Fifth Century Gaul, a crisis of identity?", his name is Hugh Elton, and he lists sources for his others to use.

I share your high opinion of Elton. He has written by far the finest book on Late Roman warfare I have ever read. Warfare in Roman Europe 350 to 425 AD is a masterpiece - I recommend it highly.
