{{Main|Stilicho's Pictish War}}
Stilicho also fought a war in Britain in this time period, likely in the year 398, dubbed [[Stilicho's Pictish War]]. The campaign against the Picts is highly disputed. The troops defending the British provinces probably defeated an invasion by the Picts without any support from Stilicho – who is never recorded to have left Italy in 398. Claudian refers to Stilicho providing Britannia with forts and a legion to protect it from incursions by Picts and Scots.<ref>Reid, John H.
