Most historians interpret the story as a purely literary construction. Though a popular cautionary tale in medieval Europe, there is no other historical evidence for The Treason of the Long Knives. The story is thought to be pseudohistorical as the only surviving records mentioning it are centuries later in the semi-mythological histories of the Historia Brittonum and the Historia Regum Britanniae.
The Treason of the Long Knives ( Welsh: Brad y Cyllyll Hirion) is an account of a massacre of British Celtic chieftains by Anglo-Saxon soldiers at a peace conference on Salisbury Plain in the 5th century.
