The Groans of the Britons (Latin: gemitus Britannorum) is the final appeal made between 446 and 454 by the Britons to the Roman military for assistance against Pict and Scot raiders. The appeal is first referenced in Gildas' 6th-century De Excidio et Conquestu Britanniae; Gildas' account was later repeated in chapter 13 of Bede's Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum.

The collapsing Western Roman Empire had few military resources to spare during its decline, and the record is ambiguous on what the response to the appeal was, if any. According to Gildas and various later medieval sources, the failure of the Roman armies to secure Britain led the Britons to invite Anglo-Saxon mercenaries to the island, precipitating the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain.

  • Il Gemitus Britannorum («Il lamento dei Britanni», in inglese "Groan of the Britons") è il nome con cui è passato alla storia l'ultimo appello con cui la popolazione della Britannia post-romana chiese aiuto a Flavio Ezio - secondo alcuni si tratterebbe invece di Egidio, magister militum di Ezio - generale dell'Impero romano d'Occidente contro gli invasori germanici. Datato attorno al 446, questo messaggio viene citato da Gildas nel De Excidio Britanniae e poi da Beda. (it)
  • Gemitus Britannorum (verzuchting van de Britten) is de naam waarop een verzoekschrift van de inwoners van Britannia uit het midden van de vijfde eeuw bekendstaat. Het is vooral van belang omdat het een van de weinige dateerbare gegevens over Brittannië in deze periode is. Gildas meldt, dat de Britten een verzoekschrift richtten aan ene Agitius, een belangrijke Romein. Hierin werd verzocht om hulp tegen de barbaren (Picten, Schotten, Ieren, Saksen en/of Angelsaksen) (Gildas, 20; cf. Geoffrey van Monmouth, VI 3.): "Agitio ter consuli gemitus Britannorum;" [...] "repellunt barbari ad mare, repellit mare ad barbaros; inter haec duo genera funerum aut iugulamur aut mergimur;""Aan Agitius, drie maal consul, (is) het gezucht van de Britten" (...) "de barbaren jagen ons naar de zee, de zee jaagt ons naar de barbaren; tussen deze twee doodsveroorzakers zullen we of de keel worden afgesneden of verdrinken." 'Agitius' is ongetwijfeld Aetius, de West-Romeinse legerleider. Omdat Aetius in 446 voor de derde, en in 454 voor de vierde keer consul werd, kunnen we deze brief dateren aan deze respectievelijke terminus post quem (tijd waarna iets [was]) en terminus ante quem (tijd waarvoor iets [was]).
