"Cunk on Britain" is another important source for British history, albeit in a different angle of presentation.

Ah, I love this stuff so much. Before the Romans even set foot on British soil, there was over 1,200 years of history. Kingdoms and battles and lovers and betrayels. All of it. I wish the Celts wrote down or documented these, but we have awesome artefacts like hillforts and hoards. And then we have standing stones like Stonehenge which was 2,000 years before the Celts even stepped onto Britain!

We only have limited information to go off of unfortunately, usually imperial scribes writing about them, not much actual source code from Celts. Publius Tacitus wrote that a man from Briton could speak to a man from Anatolia with no language barrier for hundreds of years. Leads me to believe that while "Celts" or "Gauls" or "Goths" never considered themselves as such, there was a sort of anti-empire tribal understanding that preserved language and culture against the Greek and Roman empires of antiquity. It's like.. they weren't working together, but they hated the empires more than each other and over hundreds of years certain customs became universal.

I`m Welsh and to me Arthur comes from arth, meaning bear, so it`s possible it was a nickname for a great warrior and not just one single person. Also around 536, there was a huge volcanic explosion in the Indonesian region which greatly affected crop yields across the world which would have also held up anglo-saxon expansion.

The earliest Welsh genealogies give Maximus (referred to as Macsen/Maxen Wledig, or Emperor Maximus) the role of founding father of the dynasties of several medieval Welsh kingdoms, including those of Powys and Gwent. He is given as the ancestor of a Welsh king on the Pillar of Eliseg, erected nearly 500 years after he left Britain, and he figures in lists of the Fifteen Tribes of Wales Also to let you know magnus maximus was great great grand father to King Arthur

Oh, this is my afternoon sorted! My favourite period of history and one of my favourite historians!

Magnificent panorama of the Ancient Britons, I learnt more in 2.5 hours than in all of my school years. I wish I had watched K and G 50 years ago. Amazing quality and fantastic narration. The Roman palace in the South is Fishbourne, it has been excavated and is a marvellous thing to visit. Well done and thank you.

I've lived here, in Colchester, for decades mate. We have an enormous amount of Roman artifacts, buildings and actually, there are quite a lot of sections of the Roman wall and gateways which surround the town. The Norman Castle, which is the largest in Europe by the way, is built on top of the older Roman structure which had the famous temple that burnt down. Oh, and lastly......... there's also a lot of roads in numerous areas of the town which are named after the Iceni tribe, our warrior Queen etc and then there's even more Roman themed roads as well.

Wow, this is so great! I hope to see this continued in this format!

Spectacular. Thank you so much, this was such a fascinating and gripping documentary.

This documentary did a fantastic job of coherently linking the ancient continental celts with the Britons that descended from them, leading up to the clashes with the Anglo-Saxons which transitions somewhat neatly into the Normans and modern times. And it was even a little cheekier than normal. Combined with the other long-format documentary on the continental Celts, this is the most comprehensive history I've ever seen of the people who helped shape Rome and were the forefathers of the people who became the Irish. You have my deepest thanks for your efforts here.

I've never seen a more detailed documentary on the origins of my nation

I'm only commenting because it was probably a lot of work, and the quality is great! This is the most comprehensive documentary I've seen on KZread on this subject and I need more! I'll be waiting for the 2 hour sequel about the british middle ages!

It’s a lovely place to go for a walk just don’t hit the nature reserve. To think that 2100 years ago it was the site of Roman Eagles landing on the shore of Britain to now being the well protected site for Turtle Doves and other nesting birds strikes a stark contrast. Thank you for this excellent video. There is the Replica Hugin Viking Longboat about half a mile up the coast from Pegwell Bay in Cliffsend which was gifted by the Danish in 1949 to commemorate 1500 years since the Anglo-Saxon invasion and there is a sign near it saying Kent Welcomes Viking Invaders as a dual historical reference. As well, the town of Ramsgate is the site where St Augustine brought Christianity to the British Isles. Our little corner of the country is steep with important pivotal national history but we scarcely advertise it. Hopefully that will change in years to come.

There is some evidence that some groups of "britons" speaking some form of brythonic might of still been around in Eastern England in the late saxon or early Norman periods. And the place names in doomsday book imply some in western England although that could have been old English speakers still using Celtic based names... In the North, Cumbric seems to have lasted to around that period in reasonable use (apparently some farmers might still use a form for counting sheep)

Most celtic peoples believed in reincarnation as well. It's one of the major reasons why the romans stomped out the druids. Belief in reincarnation made celtic warriors too rebellious.

@iainrendle7989

Really.....it was more to do with the excuse using the Druidic practice of human sacrifice that was abhorant to the Romans, but rather the power held by the Druids in the Celtic tribes and the fact that they were a glue between different tribes, so therefore did not benefit the Roman normality of divide and conquer. The Druids believed in Rebirth rather than reincarnation.....and reason why badly sick people were euthanised, and only after the creation of modern Druidism was reincarnation referred to.

Fantastic stuff, as a history buff this is well put in detail.

"G" is not different letter but same 3rd letter "C" (Gamma / C), "G" was invented 230BC by Ruga according to Plutarch. It used when C meant to be pronounced in a fashion of ever G-reeking people they called Greeks after their Greeked pronounciation of "C". So originally "Gallia", "Galati" and "Gauls" are version of "Callia", "Calati" and "Celts" - are the same name, and if peoples of Britania were related to continental Gallic/Gaellic/Celtic people then name "Caledonia" was also not random choice

For a spectacular fictionalised version of the decline of the celts and the rise of the Saxons, see Bernard Cornwall's The Warlord Chronicles... This trilogy tells a grounded (non-magical) version of the Arthur legend, as closely as possible to how it might have happened. Highly recommended, and the author cites this as his personal favourite of his novels.

He fought an effective gurrilla war against the Romans for 7 years. This is unfortunately a forgotten part of the protracted conflict that persisted in the frontier following Plautius' invasion. His nemsis (so to speak), Scapula, died of stress likely caused by the pressure that was on his shoulders to end the resistance.

To be fair, the "games" of the Romans clearly could also be interpreted as a form of human sacrifice and likely derived from such. I wonder if Cesar and other authors on the matter intended those practices to be interpreted as savage and alien or if by following the "noble savage" trope wanted to indicate that those barbarians were not so different to Romans after all.

Another amazing video, I’d love more content on the late Iron Age focused on the Comminid dynasty of the Atrebates and Regini, I’d have liked it if you’d stated that Commios or his son Commios II established a proto state in Britain after the Gallic wars, also that his son or descendant Verica expulsion from his kingdom was one of the pretexts for the Roman invasion.

Just want to say I appreciate the different writing style for this video. Historical content can still be witty, amusing or thought provoking without losing relevance.

"Since 'I want more followers on my Twitch stream than Crassus and Pompey' wasn't considered a valid reason to invade an entire country..." That was so unexpected, I burst out laughing.
