Acording to Mike Baillie the following is reported from various

536 Irish Annals refer to 'failure of bread'
537 Mortality in Ireland and Britain
538 Anomalous Anglo-Saxon eclipse record
539 Irish Annals refer to 'failure of bread'
540 Anomalous Anglo-Saxon eclipse record


Those are not historical records. No one in the British Isles was
writing annals at that time. Thus, the two eclipses come from the
Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, which was written in 891. The supposed events
of more than three hundred years previously are fiction.



The first snippets of information about weather and such
are from the 8th century.

The (Western) Roman Empire was destroyed by migration.

Not according to Baillie. See my answer to Hovite.
