Native Britons expelled Roman civilian administrators in 409 but Rome's departure was not so much a case of being driven out as abandonment. In 409, the Roman military was already absent, having been withdrawn to fight the fading Empire's battles on other fronts, or to take sides in civil wars between rival Roman generals. In 408 there was an invasion by Saxons which the Britons fought off themselves. Roman "power," such as it was, was a shadow of its former self. The expulsion of the civilian administration in 409 was a mere formality.
