Im a colony kid born in New Zealand A Retired Dr found my ancestors theyre Kelly from Cornwall. I have Blue Eyes and Flaming Red Hair Pail White Skin. I want to go home and I will.

I am curious as I am researching the topic of pre-Roman British society and I am interested in its relationship with Gaul especially, what evidence are you using when you speak about Celtic Britonic tribes sending aid to Gaul to help fight the Romans?

They did not think in terms of "we are Celts, we need to stand together against the Romans". It was pure rivalry everybody against everybody. So in getting all those riches and all that power, the gentleman reached the ultimate goal : To be better than the others. It was the same on the continent as well. When somebody was able to unite the tribes against the romans, for sure there was somebody else who betrayed him. I am thinking for example of the Treverers (today´s Trier in Germany). there was a leader who had gigantic fortresses and was beating the Romans... What happened? his son in law deceived him and led him into a trap, afterwards to be a friend of the Romans. Or the Celtic kingdom of Noricum, today´s Austria, a union of 10 tribes against incoming germanic tribes: We were integrated without any fights, because a.)the Trade with Rome was already quite close , and b.)the Romans were better than the germanic tribes, because under the romans, people were alive. When the Germanic tribes came, afterwards everybody was dead more or less.

Interesting, I am Australian but my mothers side of the family has strong Hampshire/Surrey links traced back 200 odd years. My recent DNA results came in as a 16-42% range for Belgium dating back up to 1000 years.

Celt s are Specialist Sword Fighters They doesnt Use Use a Shield Nessasary Celt Where Famous of the Big Sword Formation Well The one that we Know Where The picts With the Claymore Butt Their Are Researcher of Bigger Swords Found All over Britiain During the roman and greek periode celt s Where attackers only butt brutaly too archeologisch say other tribe s around europe stand the chance or they got instantly Brutalize By A Horder Of Giant Sword Tribes By the Celts that most look Terrifing in real live

The Picts as the romans named them (the painted people) was essentially the amalgamation of the Caledonian confederacy who fought against the romans under Calgacus at the battle of mons graupius. By the time a couple hundred years and 4 invasions north of the wall by the romans had elapsed the northern tribes realised how much more beneficial it was to stick together. There’s nothing like rape murder & pillage to make people realise they have more in common than they realised….

I actually have a friend with the surname Parisi

This is an excellant channel mate. I keep checking back. Thanks

Few things, the Scots did not come from Ireland, they actually came 'TO' Ulster, hence all the archaeological evidence since the 1970s is all consistent with this, though the Irish were obviously not called 'Irish' at that time as English was not then the franca lingua it is today, Irish is the Anglicised form of the older Latin form - 'Hiberni'. Hiberni = Irish. Hibernia = Ireland. St. Patrick also himself notes the distinction between the Scotti and the Hiberni in his Epistle to the chieftain Corroticus. Dalriada was a Scottish kingdom, not Irish/Hiberni, it was a Scottish maritime kingdom that stretched to Antrim. The historic Irish were called Hiberni in the Franca Lingua of that time - Latin. It was not until Pope Leo X renamed the whole of the island as 'Ireland' after 1542 and all the people on it as 'Irish', regardless of whether they were actual Hiberni (the actual historic Irish and populous) or not. This included the Scotti (Scottish) settlers of the North and the Anglo (English) settlers of the South. Similarly with the Scottish Picts, the term 'Pict', an Anglicised form of Picti, only started to be used on record when the Roman writer Eumenius wrote a congratulatory letter to Tacitus in the year 297 in reference to Agricola, it was never used earlier than this on record though it became a broad term in Roman parlance in reference to Scotland, prior to the changing of languages and a new more universal franca lingua was established. Today Scottish academia accepts the term as a chronological identity of Scotland, much like the terms 'Edwardian', 'Elizabethan' and 'Georgian' are used to refer to medieval English people who lived in a specific time of England, or 'Victorian' for British people generally who were born before the year 1901. As for the term 'Celtic', this is a term coined by the English linguist Edward Lhuyd in the 18th century to group old British language forms such as Cumbric and Cornish etc, he simply took the old Greek word 'Keltoi' - which was just a Greek's word for a non-Greek foreigner and applied to anybody in Greek parlance who the ancient Greeks encountered, and then Edward Lhuyd Anglicised it to 'Celtic' and then gave it an entirely new definition and purpose, making it it's own word entirely regardless of its etymological origin.

Good work. Thank you. As a dreaded 'historian', with a profound prejudice towards the Silures, I could point out 'lots' of info you missed...and most of it would be completely irrelevant to anybody else. Sorry to take so long to find you, its not 'my' slowness, it just takes a long time for the internet to be transcribed and put aboard colonial convict ships and reach Australia. As much as I am comfortable being a 'New South Wales' man (I know the correct grammar), I would prefer being an 'old south Welshman'.

To anybody from the south wales valleys claiming: ' I'm Silurian - I've got olive skin,curly hair' etc is frankly, fantasising. _So_ many people moved into the valleys throughout the 19th century because of coal. For example, the population of the Rhondda in 1851 was only *1,998* ; a mere Sixty years later it was an astonishing *152,78* . A great deal of those immigrants came from the west of England - Devon , Cornwall but also a lot of Irish. Any Silurian blood would've been completely dilluted......

The raven symbolising death is the brigantes sigil

I'm proud to come from Tranent, very close to Traprain Law (Haddington). I've been living in England since 2013, but I'm currently back up in Scotland visiting old sites around East Lothian, such as Tantallon Castle. This video served as a great refresher. I highly recommend "The Makers of Scotland: Picts, Romans, Gaels and Vikings" by Tim Clarkson. It's rather dense at times but well worth the read.

Romans left no DNA. So unlikely V was Romano Briton

I understand SE England is the least Brythonic and NW England is the most. Culture, like religion, can be established by inheritance or conversion. While invasions by Romans or Danes or Normans, especially Normans, changed the Southern Brythonic culture, the dna is still mostly Brythonic. Also dna science has recently shown that Pictish, or Caledonian people are mostly Brythonic. The Norman influence is huge in the shaping of the culture here in the Southeastern United States. Shows like Downton Abbey, glorify the Norman inspired estates. Although most Southern Americans are a mix of Northumbian and Strathyclyde decent, still the Norman way of life has been glorified through the years.

Dobunni in my blood...

Gov, Subscribed, bad spelling and all

Impresionante Ahora lo quiero construir en miniatura 🎉

have you managed to find any information, other than that on the coinage, which would indicate any kind of clan colours, or iconography specifically adopted by individual tribes? particularly interested in durotriges and the dumnonni, possibly catuvellauni too

fun fact: despite what all the signs and plaques around maiden castle say, there is NO evidence for any roman vs celt battles in the vicinity of maiden castle. bonus fact: while yes its the biggest iron age hillfort in Britain, its also the biggest iron age hill fort in europe! cheers for the video dude

One thing I really want to know is what did these people do? Did they fight eachother like Vikings? Or were they peaceful farmers and traders?

Have you seen the Pocklington burials DNA? Almost all the women are mt Haplogroup H2a3, which happens to be very rare, and my own maternal lineage via Ireland. It's very rare outside of the Paris area and the Parisii anyway... Definitely Gauls who moved to Britain probably a few centuries before Caesar as the shield dates to 175bce. Now my question is who/how many/when/why did some move to Ireland?!?

Cardiffian here, been yold. i look Maltese. Did my Dna 80% Welsh 15% English 5% Irish. Been able to trace my family back a thousand years to the Princes of Powys.

this is just fucking around, this isn’t what the Romans would have heard.

The Romans were assholes.

They were mining Silver in the Lothian Area. The Otadina or Votadina were the Vojadina of Yugoslavia.

This Tribe was most positively the Fir Domnann of the Fir Bolg.

Sovranedh hepkorrys nevra, Donyarth yw agan myghtern hwath.

The Votadini were a Latin speaking tribe in Scotland which migrated to North Wales and remained a distinct culture there until 1282. Many North Welsh are the descendants of the Roman British who spoke a Latin dialect until the 1300s.

Gildas was not Anglo-Saxon nor did he write about Vortigern centuries later. He was born in late 5th-early 6th Century.

The Gorddoficau in North Wales were called Ordovices by the Romans, just as they called the indomitable Essyllwyr Silurians, and the glorious Wenyllon the Venicones. Oh, and we Brythons were not and have never been celts!

Brigantes.. sounds like Gigantes.. meaning Giants or Very Tall

Gangani, who came from India.

Roman pronunciation: Doom-NOH-nee-i

Not Picts ,the southern tribes of Caledonia were still under some limited relationship with the Romans who continued to operate certain forts north of the wall with very large cavalry patrol groups ,some were in their employ and were paid in silver. .Pictish groups spoke a different language although Brittonic and had distinctive tribal design not found in the south.The south was more populated than previously thought . If tribes really pissed the Romans off they would engage in genocide as is seen in Fife and Angus where the tree record shows that farmland became wilderness for decades after the Romans had finished with them Consequently when the Romans left these tribal areas did not become pict land and were in opposition such as altcluid which became Strathclyde

Their not picts, the picts were north of the Forth who the Romans attempted genocide . The romans appear to have tolerated the southern tribes as at the end of the romans they had independent Brittonic kingdoms who were hostile to the Picts but also were able to resist the Anglo Saxons

Dumnonii and Damnonii Tribes I believe they might have been the same people. I have been looking for the connection between Strathclyde and Somerset a Del a dyke and kin of David.

The Silures is a Roman name for the glorious, unbeaten Essyllwyr. The Welsh name for the Severn estuary and its neighbouring country was Bro Essyllt, Essyllwg, Syllyr, and or Silwria in later prehistory. This riverine district was anciently known and distinguished by the names ‘Syllwg’ or ‘Essyllwg’, ‘Tir Essyllt’, and ‘Gwlad yr Essyllt’ which are all strictly synonymous, and which included the whole of the present counties of Glamorgan and Monmouth and a part of those of Hereford, Gloucester and Brecknock. Their inhabitants were accordingly called ‘Syllwr’, ‘Essyllyr’, ‘Essyllwr’ or ‘Essyllwyr’.

Fantastic video! I have 82.1% ancestry all in East Anglia/Wales areas. So this hits close to home 😅

Trinovantes, Trinowanti 😮 looks like Hindus name

To confuse Dorset with Devon when discussing ancient British tribes is enough for me to stop watching. How can someone who makes such an elementary mistake be trusted to convey the truth?

Great video on a subject that is hard to find.🤩

I am Y-DNA Haplogroup DF63 which they state this Insular Celt L-21 is found most numbers of this Cornwall area yet many of my lines are from Gododdin and Southern Rheged yet show many from Earls of Lennox first Earls DF63 before the Stewards took over the Earls of Lennox DF13. Many Kingdom of Strathclyde have the Damnonii of Alt Clud Y Hen Ogledd many Kingdoms two which I just mentioned which the Kingdom of Rheged became Welsh Kings of Gwynedd and Deheubarth. Do you have list of the Y-DNA of this tribe - there are a good Y-DNA reult of Southwest England that does show my Cornwall link with DF63 the brother of DF13. I have genealogy to the Gruffydd Kings of Deheubarth of the Royal House fo Dinefwr - but trying to understand this Cornwall link.

It is not flat but rolling and often steep chalk hills. The same chalk that is around south east England also. East and west is flat..

From maps i have seen, the territory of the Belgae, more closely covers the area of Wiltshire rather than Hampshire; hence why Bath would be within their orbit. Likewise, winchester is on the boarder of wiltshire (it would also coincide with other comments made, namely Belgae coins found on the south coast. Anyway, thats what the maps and charts i have seen online depict.

Doo boo nah is how it’s said 😊

Curnow here ✊

Dude , pls tidy your house it’s distracting to your content.

I love your vids❤ surprised there aren't more views for this channel

As a romano-brit, would Vortigern have been declared 'Dux Bellorum'?. Excellent piece btw. What about peace from the battle of Badon?
