The
end of Roman rule in Britain is the period during which the
Roman Empire ended its control of parts of the island of Great Britain, thus marking the transition from
Roman Britain to
post-Roman Britain. Roman rule ended for different parts of Britain at different times, and under different circumstances. The year 383 marks the end of Roman rule in northern and western Britain. In that year, Roman troops were withdrawn from those regions of Britain for the last time by the usurper
Magnus Maximus.
