The date 1AD refers to the year a man I will call Yesus was born. It is
irrelevant whether it actually happened or not. Most of the world did
not know about it at the time anyway.

News of the event did not reach the British Isles for a very long time
so my question is this:

In the British Isles during the year we now call 1AD, what was the date
(year only)?

I don't even know how to look it up.
I am aware of the Gregorian, Julian, and AUC calendars but I don't want
to know what the date was in Rome.

In the British Isles each tribe would have its own chronicles based on
king lists, but no numerical scheme which was only introduced later by
the Church.

Ah good. That was what I hoped. Thank you.
I shall leave you all in peace now.



I think the tribes of the UK didn't keep a count on years, they just did
the same rituals the same time every year. They probably used the sun
and moon as calendars (Markers) for their rituals.
