The Great Conspiracy of 367 saw coordinated attacks by Picts, Attacotti, Scots, Saxons, and Franks. Yorkshire's coastline was raided by Saxon sea-wolves; the Wall was breached; the comes maritimi Saxonici was killed. Count Theodosius landed at Richborough, marched north, and systematically restored Roman order. Yorkshire's coastal defences were rebuilt as part of the Saxon Shore system.
Barbarian coalition: c. 5,000–8,000. Romans: c. 2,000–4,000 initially, Theodosius: c. 6,000.
