The current Roman Emperor, Theodosius, was willing to accept a join regentship with Maximus, but this was not good enough for Maximus. In 387, Maximus invaded Italy, taking Milan, was defeated by Theodosius in two battles and was beheaded. The memory of Magnus Maximus was retained by the people of Britain, later to become the Welsh, in the Mabinogion, a collection of Celtic stories first written down in 1300. The relevant story is entitled, "The Dream of Macsen Wledig," and is the only one of the Mabinogion which bears any relevance to history.

Bede calls him the first high king of Saxon Britain. Not much else is known. One source calls him a king of Northumbria; another source lists him as an Angle leader. He is thought by some to have been the Saxon leader at the Battle of Badon Hill Angles : invaders and eventually settlers from Angeln or Denmark who chose the middle-eastern coast of Britain as their new stomping grounds. The kingdoms they founded were Northumbria, Mercia, and East Anglia. From the Old English words Engla and land ("Land of the Angles") we get England and from Englisc we get English. Angles were settled in Lincolnshire and Lindsey , thought to be the sites of some of the 12 great battles of Arthur according to Nennius. Click here for more.

Celtic Hounds Hand Carving by Andrew Howe - see link below DALRIADA, THE BEGINNING The History of Dalriada The Beginning The heritage of what we now call the Scottish people have their roots set firmly in the history of Dalriada, particularly the people of the Western Isles and Highlands - The Gaidheal. It is for this reason that this the Trust carries the name of Dalriada. Dalriada was the name of the people who came here from Ireland and whom the Romans called the Scots. The earliest knowledge we have of them comes from when they were still in Ireland. At that time there were four septs or main families of the Erainn stock, who were considered to be a section of the original inhabitants of Eire These four septs were named the Muscraige, Corco Duibne, Corco Baiscind and Dal Riata, who came from three sons of Conaire Mor called Cairpre Musc, Cairpre Baschain and Cairpre Riata. These four septs of the Erainn migrated from Breg in the north of Ireland to Munster in the south. No reason is given as to why they traveled south, although it is probable that their own family lands could no longer contain them. On arriving in Munster the Erainn allied themselves with a people known as the Eoganachta, to wage war against another people of Munster known as the Erna Mumaim and in doing so they managed to obtain land to live on. At some point later a famine in Munster forced the Dal Riata sept of the Erainn to move back north into the ancient territory of the Ulaid, later to become known as Ulster. One of the other Erainn septs, the Corco Duibne, claimed the Munster land they left.

History of Ireland. Frederick Engels 1870 Ancient Ireland The writers of ancient Greece and Rome, and also the fathers of the Church, give very little information about Ireland. Instead there still exists an abundant native literature, in spite of the many Irish manuscripts lost in the wars of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It includes poems, grammars, glossaries, annals and other historical writings and law-books. With very few exceptions, however, this whole literature, which embraces the period at least from the eighth to the seventeenth centuries, exists only in manuscript. For the Irish language printing has existed only for a few years only from the time when the language began to die out. Of this rich material, therefore, only a small part is available. Amongst the most important of these annals are those of Abbot Tigernach (died 1088), those of Ulster, and above all, those of the Four Masters. These last were collected in 1632-36 in a monastery in Donegal under the direction of Michael O'Clery, a Franciscan monk, who was helped by three other Seanchaidhes (antiquarians), from materials which now are almost all lost. They were published in 1856 from the original Donegal manuscript which still exists, having been edited and provided with an English translation by O'Donovan. The earlier editions by Dr. Charles O'Conor (the first part of the

Standing Stones III, Scotland Limited Edition of 100 "We, the most distant dwellers upon the earth, the last of the free, have been shielded...by our remoteness and by the obscurity which has shrouded our name...Beyond us lies no nation, nothing but waves and rocks" The above words by the Pictish chief Calgacus are recorded by the Roman enemy in the words of Tacitus and are a perfect example of the obscurity and legendary status held by the Picts almost 2,000 years ago. Did the Picts build the stone circles? It depends on what we believe to be a Pict. The earliest recorded evidence of man in Scotland is dated to 8,500 B.C. It is thus that a few thousand years before the birth of Christ, Neolithic men from Spain and France, makers of fire and herders of sheep and cattle had already made their to Scotland. Some archeologists suggest that these people may have built and used the great chambered cairns which dot the Scottish countryside. It has also been suggested that their descendants eventually merged with the Beaker people (who probably came from northern Europe), and this ethnic union made up the pre-Celtic stock of the northern lands. These people eventually became the warriors called Picts by the Romans.

Ancient Battles of the Picts and the Brigantes The Picts battle the Brigantes The Picts and Brigantes are two of the oldest pre-Roman inhabitants of Great Britain. Both inhabited and battled the Romans and each other for the lands of Northern England and Scotland. According to Britain Express the Brigantes were the most powerful Celtic tribe prior to the Roman invasion of 43 AD. Like the Picts and other Celtic tribes, the Brigantes were often matriarchical. They were ruled by queen Cartimandua when the Romans came. Initially they were friendly to the Romans, sometimes betraying other Celtic leaders to the invaders. Eventually, Cartimandua deserted her husband Ventius and fled Brigante territory. Ventius rebelled against the Romans but was defeated by Petillius Cerialis in 73 AD. They lived as a Roman protectorate until 138 AD when Antonius, for whom the Antonine Wall is named, pushed north from Hadrian's wall. The Brigantes fought, and eventually the Romans fell back to the more defensible Hadrian's wall. Examples of Brigante art and culture are available at the archaeology society Brigantes Nation . Especially notice the wonderful gold and bronze pieces of the Celtic Iron Age. More detailed information about early British tribes is located at Roman-Britain.org

On this page: Encyclopedia Wikipedia Mentioned In Or search: - The Web - Images - News - Blogs - Shopping Picts Encyclopedia Picts, ancient inhabitants of central and N Scotland, of uncertain origin. First mentioned ( A.D. 297) by the Roman writer Eumenius as northern invaders of Roman Britain, they were probably descendants of late Bronze Age and early Iron Age invaders of Britain. Their language is thought to have been a superimposition of Celtic on a pre-Celtic and non-Indo-European language, but there is no undisputed interpretation of it or their culture. By the early 7th cent. there was a unified Pictish kingdom north of a line from the Clyde to the Forth rivers. It apparently had a matrilinear system of succession and had probably adopted Celtic Christianity. To the south of the Picts, Scottish invaders from Ireland had established the kingdom of Dalriada in the 5th cent. Between 843 and 850 Kenneth I , king of Dalriada, established himself also as king of the Picts, although how and why is not clear. The kingdom of Alba thus formed became the kingdom of Scotland.

Loch Leven - Ancient history The Castle Island today occupies about 8 acres and is about 4 times the size that it was in ancient times following the lowering of the water level in the Loch by 4 feet or nearly 1.5 metres between 1826 and 1836. Up until then, the water came up almost to the castle walls. Ancient History Little is known of the island's early history but it is obviously an easily defended site and could well have had some kind of fort on it even before the days of the Pictish King Brude, son of Dergart, who ruled the area in the 7th or 8th century. The original building is said to have been a fort built by Congal, King of the Picts, in the 6th century but, being of timber, no trace now remains. The first stone castle was probably built during the reign of King Alexander II. In 1256, the boy-king Alexander III and his even younger Queen (daughter of Henry III of England) were taken from Lochleven Castle to Stirling to be kept safe from the English invaders. William Wallace In October 1303, Edward I's army was resting up for the winter. According to Blind Harry the Minstrel, writing in the next century, Sir William Wallace launched a daring raid with 18 of his men on Lochleven Castle, then in the hands of the English. Blind Harry claims that Wallace himself swam naked to the island of St Serfs at the east end of the loch where he collected a boat in which he and his men rowed to the Castle Island and attacked the garrison there. All 30 Englishmen were killed although the 5 women were spared.
