You see they were a very advanced society, and had a advanced law system know as the Chellomonopioplisicupius were many senators would decide the direction their kingdom was going by listening to the soothing sounds of the Chello. The Romans also used this system later on, but the Greeks said they stole their idea. This erupted in the Chello Wars. It lasted from 6 AD to 10 AD and took many lives... 1 lik= on soul loust in da Chello Wars gos 2 rest 👍 😪😭

VC YT And it isn't Celtic DNA, it's Basque. The Basques emigrated into the British Isles around 4500 to 5000 years ago at the transition between the Neolithic and Copper Ages, while the Celts were Early Iron Age invaders from Central Europe who subjugated the Basques and imposed their language and culture.. Irish legends even allude to this in stories about the Tuatha te Danaan being an earlier people than the Celts.

Your problem with the Heptarchy came from forgetting Sussex. It was one of the earliest kingdoms founded, and Bede lists its founder Ælle as the first Bretwalda. But as the invaders advanced and founded Wessex, Essex, and other realms that became incorporated into Mercia, Sussex lost power and influence.

One thing to remember, however, is despite the fact that there was a distinct Irish tradition of Christianity that developed in Ireland, it was actually always in union with Rome and was understood by all to be 'one church' rather than two. There was a bit of local practice but this often exists within eastern local churches that areceithee in union with Rome or with Constantinople

If you divide Northumbria into two kingdoms you get 6 kingdoms not 7...

History makes me feel all warm and,oh wow!! This is exciting!!

this is a great lesson on such an interesting topic. I really enjoyed that one. thanks for the effort! p.s.: youtube suggested that to me from a 'baz battles' video.

Wonderful commendable work. Was going to ask for a Danelaw follow up and found it in your 1066 video. Bless.

It's worth mentioning that Hengist and Horsa are most likely mythological figures, relating the to horse-based twins that are common in Indo-European religions. Twin founders of races/countries are common as well. The overall idea of what happened is probably accurate but it's muddied by mythological ethnic origin stories.

Excellent video ..putting out some really good content

love the vids and the art

thanks youtube algorythm! subscribed :P. Question: will you do one about the danes invading britain?

yes! Saxons! excellent video , this must have taken ages!! would have liked to hear you go over the crucial battle of Deorham (Dyrham -nr Bath) where Glevum, Corinium and Aquae Sulis were taken by the Gerwisse and the 3 Brythonic kings were killed. It must have been an epic battle and was decisive, after losing this strategically Important area the Romano-British were doomed, and also this is when the ethnic separation of Wales and Dumnonia occurred, and apparently also when the Cornish and Welsh languages began to diverge and become distinctly different. regardless of all that I very much enjoyed this wide-ranging and incredibly detailed video. thanks very much

And as ever, more Gerwisse please as we all know they are the best ;)

Interesting vid - can you give some references and citations for how you formed your version of history? A lot of these points are contentious and need backing up with some sources. BTW - you missed out Glamorgan/Morganwg from the British Kingdoms - a bit of an oversight as this was the prime kingdom and is where the capital was! LOL

Would you consider making an in-depth video on the life of Penda? Seems like it would be a fascinating topic

Great vid, just a tip on the welsh, as it is a single d at the end of dyfed, it is pronounced like an english 'd', as apposed to the name Dafydd, which is pronounced like a 'th', also in north wales the -dd is pronounced more like a -v than a -th, once again great vid, keep up the good work!

Love your vids, very informative! They should show these in schools here in the UK. One tiny tiny gripe, and I appologise for being so pedantic, but Dyfed is pronounced 'Duh ved'. Your Welsh is pretty damn good otherwise fair play to you!

20:00 that looks like an amazingly cool helmet.

Game of Thrones politics, more like.

Really interesting and well presented. Post Roman to the Norman Conquest is a rich history period

That was a great vid mate. When did the Vikings invade?

14:40 - I heard that the welsh attitude was basically "Well, we have the satisfaction to know those anglo saxons are going to hell when they die." They didn't convert the anglo saxons, because they hated them too much. And, at least at the time, you couldn't blame them that much.

Thanks, That incredibly informative ..

If your other videos are this good, then you have a new subscriber.

Hey Hilbert. You often say in your videos that the name of the Saxons derives from the name of one of theire common weapons named sax. A feeling tells me that it might be the other way around like it is for example with the gladiator class of the Thrax using the typical equipment of thracians in the mind of the romans, so the sax is called like this because of the Saxons often using them. So where do we know these things from and if we can just hypothesize how do we conclude which theory is more probable? Greetings from one of your new subscribers sent by Shad.

Having played more games of CK2 in Britan than I care to count, I could actualy follow this pretty well

My favourite to date. Sterling work.

Hi Hilbert! I dont know if you remember me... but anyway I have some ideas about dark age northumbrian danish/frisian settlements in regards to place names, and old english. Would old english at the 7th century be calling certain places "danish" ? (IE a place perhaps Bede had no other name for? )

omg, those auto generated subtitles are so much better than they used to be, amazing
