The Old North: British Celtic Kingdoms in the North of England (Hen Ogledd) (2018x15)


Date de diffusion: Jan 02, 2018

Before the Romans arrived and conquered Britain in the 1st century AD, and after they were sent packing in the 5th century AD, the Britons lived in the lands we now divide into England, Scotland and Wales. Most of the time in our modern view of history we consign these "Celtic" peoples to Scotland, Wales and Cornwall after the Anglo-Saxon Invasion, ignoring the existence of independent British kingdoms that continued to hold out against the invaders for hundreds of years. While those in the south were soon swamped by the newly arrived Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Frisians, a swathe of land from the Dee to the Clyde was known as the Hen Ogledd, the Old North, and remained a bastion of British resistance right up until the Norse arrived in the 8th century. The legacy of these northern Britons of the Gododdin, Strathclyde, Rheged, Cumbria and Elmet can still be seen all around us in the north, from the dialects, place names and archaeology to the culture itself.
