As you tell of the ties between the Dumnonii and Brittany, I believe worth mentioning that a kingdom of Domnonia (in French, Domnonée) was founded by British migrants in the 5th, or early 6th century AD, on the northern shore of Brittany/LLydaw. Its early kings seem to have ruled over both sides of the Channel. Another kingdom, founded earlier, existed in southern Brittany, Cornouaille, in French, Kerne in Breton, related to Cornwall/Kernow. Both names, Kerne and Kernow are considered to derive from the name of the Cornovii tribe. How the Cornovii found themselves in Brittany is less documented but it is believed that they took part in a large coastal surveillance network during the late Roman Empire, aiming at preventing Frisian and Saxon raids (them, already!).

The first is that the V is being erroneously pronounced as a ‘vee’ sound (represented by an F in Welsh phonetics). The second is we already HAVE a perfectly good Welsh name passed down across aeons, which comes to us in the place name Dinorwig (din Orwig, meaning fort of the Ordovices). We must remember that the historical names are Latin versions of the original British names, after all.

The names aren't lost per-se, as fortunately Roman names in Britain tend to just use a Romanised version of the local Brythonic name, so if we remove the Latin declensions then we are left with the Latin-spelled Brythonic root, such as: Cantii > Cant- Dumnonii > Dumnon- Iceni > Icen- (and they spell their own names on their coins as "Ecen".

They likely weren't hugely different. The name of the Ordovices, for example, is preserved in Welsh Dinorwig. Two important linguistic changes as Brythonic changed into Welsh were the loss of final syllables, and the softening of consonants between two vowels (eg. C > G). So we go from Ordovices to something like Ordowiges to Orwig (remember V in Latin script stood for W, U sounds). These names are more like Latinised Brythonic than actual Latin.

Over the period from about 450 BC to AD 450 when it is commonly agreed by scholars that there were Celtic societies and civilisations in western and central Europe, hardly any material evidence has been found here to substantiate the notion of Celtic Ireland. There is no Celtic pottery - or pottery of any kind until well into the Christian period. Only 40-50 such swords or other military instruments are extant, six decorated brooches, eight scabbards - compared to the hundreds of thousands excavated in western France alone, for example. There are no chariots in the 20-40 small burial sites unearthed, he told a conference on "European Culture: A Vision for the Future". The patterns of burials, settlements and material culture show fundamental continuity with the earlier prehistoric periods which brought the original settlers here 9-11,000 years ago after the last Ice Age. The fascinating new science of historical genetics finds no evidence of a specifically Celtic migration.

Although early Scandinavian (Viking), raiding Captains and crews hit some parts of our Cornish coast, they soon came to their business senses. Cornwall, rich in malachite and cassiterite were minerals of enormormous value. In time, Viking vessels brought much needed pitch pine baulks to our fore-fathers, for support structures below ground. Pitch pine timber was exchanged, along with furs, for copper and, predominantly, tin. The Devoran Estuary was once a drop-off/collection point for trade. The tin and copper mined in the Carnon Valley and further inland was smelted into ingots at Perran-ar-Worthal foundry. Eventually, Viking raiding fleets used many Cornish maritime safe havens for repair and replenishment before moving up the Channel to attack Saxonia. And there's more! Hopefully, you may further cover a bit of your Brythonnic 'Cousin's' history. After all, we are related and we Kernowek valued Welsh coal highly in our foundries! BTW, I've been a metal detectorist since way back. Once, while detecting an excavated site on banks of the Devoran Estuary, I made two Viking finds. I have them still: Two lead-alloy Hnefatafl gaming pieces from the early 9th Century. "Meur ras".

I’m really interested by the concepts we have around ethnic origins and distinctions in this period. They often seem to respect more modern concepts but I’m never sure if that isn’t anachronistic. For instance the existence of possible “Irish colonies” in Britain seems curious to me. It’s widely accepted that across time speakers of so called Goidelic languages have lived in Britain. However they’re always described as colonists. I think this says more about subsequent colonial history and it’s influence on our view of the past than it does about the realities of Celtic Britain. The strict geographic distinction of Ireland as Q Celtic and Britain as P Celtic seems a bit unsupported by archeology these days. I wonder if instead we are looking at a sprachbund of Celtic peoples, arranged as a spectrum across Britain and Ireland that doesn’t have much to do with modern geography at all.

Honestly, I think we are so trained to view even our ancient history through modern, political and territorial eyes, we mostly forget that not only was Britain and Ireland a lot closer together geographically due to lower sea levels but these peoples were back and forth all the time, and language needed to be understood therein. Were they multilingual, or was there more blending of languages than we know? Many Brits and Irish likely have fragments of shared ancient British and Irish DNA due to this movement. And that's quite separate from the more modern mixing. Ancient artwork found in Ireland, Scotland, Yorkshire and the south of England seems to indicate a shared culture or ideology between ancient tribes across these islands.

Thank you this was very informative.

This is brilliant, thank you for your videos. As someone who grew up and was educated in England I feel so ashamed at my lack of knowledge of anything Celtic. We're taught absolutely nothing on it at school and through my own self-education I'm starting to feel like British colonisation is really an English colonisation and that we started close to home by subjugating the Celts and then trying to wipe their history from any accounts of early England. I can't even pronounce Welsh, Irish or Scottish words. Channels like this are so important to show the "United Kingdoms" and how we all share the same history. When is part 2 coming?

Amazing video, I’m a Numismatic expert on the Atrebates and Regini under the Comminid dynasty and this video was a very accurate and well presented Well done 👍

Very nice that you identified the Breton migration as coming from Devon/Cornwall, too many people go purely with Gildas's account and misrepresent the Saxon conquest of Britain

Awesome!!! Keep on doing the good job!

Currently sat watching this on top of the Wrekin looking down on Viriconium. I would love to go back in time and see dense woodland stretching out across the Severn valley. Broken only by the smoke rising from the roman city. Great video. I feel that alot of the history of my part of the country has been lost to time, Pengwern etc. Your videos help shed some light into deep time for me.

That's definitely the coolest place anyone has ever watched one of my videos! And I agree it's super fascinating to imagine how old landscapes would have looked. The Severn valley in particular is interesting, the historian D. Stephenson (if I recall correctly) theorised that the Severn used to flood more frequently and at a greater range, since there are apparently a lot of references to some kind of flooded landscape in Shropshire from Wales

@@CambrianChronicles I imagine as the climate sputterd and wobbled during the end of the last glacial period the melt waters from the welsh highlands would have caused the Severn to be like that for a period during the change. With the geology of the area would have made the river snake and weave across the valley dodging the verious patches of harder rock... maybe?

I'd love to learn more about Celtic tribes on the continent,too.

I've just binged all of your videos so far, and I love the content. There's not a massive wealth of videos on topics like these on KZread, and it's fantastic to see some representation for Celtic, especially Welsh history (which while I'm relatively well Wikipedia'd, I'm still unfortunately largely ignorant on the topic) - I can't wait to see what else you come out with. I don't want to impart any pressure, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on the history of the Picts, the Isle of Mann... so many excellent potential topics. I look forward to your next upload!

love the Celtic tribes video and excited for the northern tribes (particularly brigantes if that will be included) most content on celtic tribes is more about 'pagan' 'wiccan' ideology (almost too deviantart brained), I appreciate the true historical perspective and cleanliness of your videos!
