sword in the stone story comes from the Volsunga sagas, where Odin (or Wodne) thrust a magical sword, called Gram, into an oak tree, and the one who drew it out would receive it as a gift from him, and wouldn't be disappointed with it. Sigmund drew it out but had to fight to keep it as other more powerful people wanted it. Sigmund dies in battle wielding Gram, but during the battle Odin broke it (can't remember why). Dying Sigmund tells his wife to collect the pieces of the sword and keep them for their unborn son. The son was born Sigurd, and he gets the sword remade and uses it to kill Fafnir (a dragon - German, or dwarf - Norse/Icelandic) and made his people, the Volsungs, wealthy from the treasure (including a magic ring). After that, the Volsungs begin a pretty quick decline, ending when the last Volsung noblewoman is forcibly married to a Burgundian King, and the Volsungs are absorbed. I hope I got it right.

Well, Greeks naturally have a Mediterranean-centric veiw of themselves, and (combined with the Romans who conquered the Greeks in 148 BC) naturally dismiss from their narrow minds the Celts who were the dominant people north of the Alps from Britain to the West through central and Eastern Europe to Anatolia to the East (until Caesar's greedy conquest of Gaul). Although illiterate, the warlike Celts were not some poor naked savages covered in woad (which is a blue dye used by warriors to paint their faces on the battlefield, the Romans also sometimes used a red dye called minum to paint their faces), but had a sopisticated culture including intricate metalwork (a testimony to the skills of Celtic gold and silver smiths), an abstract style called curvilinear art in the La Tene style which adorned their sword scabbards and shields, but also theur iron smiths produced sophisticated weapons and armour, including long swords (the Roman gladius sword was short) and helms with metal figurine crests of animals, such as eagles with flapping wings. It's not well known but the Celts invented chain mail, long before the Roman legions adopted this body armour. Not the miserly cultural product of some poor backward rural people without cities, skilled artisans and wide trading networks including minted coins.

I feel the same way about the host.

Last year I learnt that the FitzRandolph and Randoll men are a specific variant of R1b-U152 that originates in central Italy during the Roman Republic. This is especially significant because genealogically they are male-line descendants of the Breton Sovereign House and Alan Rufus’s epitaph indicates descent from the Aurelii, specifically the Aurelii Cottae. Archaeologically, in early third century Carlisle, Aurelia Aureliana was the wife of Ulpius Apolinaris. A letter by Sidonius Apollinaris in the latter 5th century shows him to be a close friend and admirer of a man with the title ‘Riothamus’, High King of the Britons (or Bretons), almost certainly the same person as Ambrosius Aurelianus and therefore active in both Britain and Gaul.

There is no homogeneous "Celtic" society and nor has there ever been. This word Celtic started being used to describe a sort of Pan-Celtic european twilight around the time of W.B. Yeats et al. In reality, the extant documents use the word Britons or Cymru. Additionally, the people thought of themselves in terms of their region, Tribe and later, Rome. After that, the Cymru in reaction to the word Wealdh (Welsh), a germanic word meaning foreign. You will not find the word Celt or too many descriptions of the Warlike people other than in the political tomes of Caeser and other conquerers and raiders. Read some books.

Celtic tribes were first of all traders. In the Alpine regions they traded as far back as with the ancient Greeks, and later on with the Romans . But they also had quarrels with each other, and when the Romans realized there was gold to collect, they were too weak and unorganized to defend themselves. You guys seem to forget and Celts lived on the mainland North of the Alps as well. There was an Exodus of more than 100'000 celts from today's Switzerland to France after Julius Cesar had ransacked them, but the Gauls were defeated as well so they had to return and do as they were told. The Romans didn't stay long, though. I guess they didn't like the mountains. All their ruins are found in the lowlands.

No - Britain actually did abandon Rome. In 407 the pretender Constantine III, with the support of most of the British elites, took an army consisting of much of the British garrison to Gaul with him and most of these troops, after his defeat by an army loyal to Emperor Honorius, were incorporated into other Roman armies. About two and half years later in 410, those same British elites, conscious of the increased number of Pisctish and Irish attacks on them, appealed to Honorius for help. Honorius was trying to negotiate with the Visigoths at the time (and was just about to fail spectacularly in those negotiations, resulting in the sack of Rome) and could not do much, but in any case he probably did not feel like helping people who had so recently supported a rebellion against him right at that moment. He almost certainly had no plans to abandon Britain though, so he replied to them saying that for the time being they would have to organise their own defence. The Britons reacted very badly to this reply and responded by kicking all of the Roman officials out of Britain and electing their own British emperor. Therefore Britain did indeed leave Rome and not the other way around.

@@peterongan9655 Rome abandoned Britain only insofar as it failed to reconquer a rebellious province which had kicked out the Roman administration and set up its own emperor in opposition to the Roman empire. In 410, the request for more forces to defend the province must have seemed like a slap in the face for an administration which had seen Constantine III set up as an emperor in opposition to Rome only three years before and who moreover had acted violently against members of the emperor's own family. Hence the Rescript. Following 410, Rome was reeling from the fallout from the sacking of Rome by the Visigoths and widespread Frankish and Allamani invasions, while Britain forged its own path. Within a couple of decades, the Huns were in the picture as well, not to mention the Vandals' sacking of Rome and takeover of the valuable North African provinces. By 446, when the Britons finally decided to ask for Roman help again, Aetius was fully engaged with the defence of what remained of the empire and almost certainly had no forces to spare for a province which had so signally rejected Roman authority. There is no record of any further appeal to Rome by Britain, although the Arrival in Gaul decades later of the British king Riothamus and his army does suggest that some contact was retained.

Well, looking at the particular part of the weapons in the water and correlating the findings with the geography, I find it rather obvious to see that the sites of where most weapons were discarded into the water were at points where causeways met with dry land. These would normally be places where gates or toll-houses would be located and where local 'authorities' would exert some measure of control. It stands to reason that part of that control would be restriction of carrying weaponry, so weapons would be taken from travelers and expediently discarded into the marshes.

Nothing new about how the Romans operated in what they called Briton. They did that everywhere, look at the local gods and incorporate them into their religion, get some local king and make him Roman and a puppet.

The weapons left close to causeways which had a monastery at the end have a much more pragmatic reason for being there. Weapons could not be taken into a place of sanctuary, so therefore had to be abandoned, ( possibly with the hope of recovery). Weapons offered into the water in a funereal context might have been carried out by the wealthy, but not by the less affluent as worked metal tools and weapons were too valuable to discard. For such large numbers of weapons to be discarded, early post Roman populations would have had to have a disproportionate affluent demographic within the relatively sparse population. This would have been highly unlikely. I visualise small and possibly large groups of fleeing warriors escaping pursuit along the wooden causways, discarding weapons as they sought sanctuary. The abbeys and monasteries were sites on elevated land to avoid flooding and needed the causeways to initially build them and then service their needs.

The way it has impacted our history and the advancement of mankind and society and culture throughout the bronze age through to the iron age, then the discovery of industrial steel making processes and steam power leading us into the industrial revolution where we are now... For thousands of years up until just recently everything used to be handmade, and most everything we did and most every daily activity required tools of some sort or something that was metal. So pretty much every community required a blacksmith and forge to craft the metal tools and parts and to keep them in working condition also. So although we don't depend on a blacksmith to be a pillar of every community anymore and most everything we use in our lives is mass produced in a factory somewhere, I still think that nothing can come close to a hand-crafted tool or piece that a blacksmith has crafted himself with his own hands and his own mind. I find a good quality hand-crafted tool to be superior in quality and aesthetics also, especially if using a Damascus/layered steel technique to get an awesome design to come through in the finished piece.... Some of the Damascus steel knives/swords and other things I've seen art just pure beauty and the craft of making Damascus Steel is like an art of its own, it is truly amazing what some guys can do with the different patterns.

Disposing of swords in water; sounds like Britain's first weapons reduction program, to me. The added bonus is that lowers couldn't smite the higher order in half.

Actually, they did have, although only some swords did. Those that did just didn't have cross guards quite as wide as those of later medieval swords.

He may know about archaeology, but not much about Arthurian literature apparently. Arthurian symbolism won't say much about Roman Britain as those legends originated in medieval Europe, primarily France. That indicates the traditions didn't survive, but were created in some sort of parallel in France.Also, yes, the Roman did absorb local deities into their culture by identfying them with similar Roman gods, but they became essentially Roman. I think it's likely people in the countryside kept old ways, but as elsewhere the people of influence, the urban centers, and the educated would have adopted Roman customs.

No the legend of Arthur originates in Britain... mostly Wales. It was the French who tacked on a few daft romantic stories about lancelot (an in joke in itself). But the true legend of Arthur was most definitely born in Britain. The Britons who fought the Saxons obviously had some leader. Why wouldn't his name have been Arthur?

Is Arturo the English Elvis?

I’m just not sure how someone can say the early medieval period...anywhere, but, specifically Britain, equaled any segment of the overall classical period...population dropped/decentralized, technology was lost, public works diminished, warfare was endemic, reading/writing was nearly forgotten, scholarship greatly diminished, and hygiene was essentially reset to 0.

The ARthurian legends as we have them date from Christian times, so yes, they were likely written to mirror Christian mythology.

But what's his view as a pre-historian?

It's quite amazing how the narrator's voice sounds like Snape at times 😂

1066 last time the UK is invaded? You are forgetting that one time that the Dutch King conquered the UK without a single drop of blood. We also burned the english fleet and took there flagship as a souvenier. The Vikings are great warriors but, the Dutch did what they couldn't.

I'm just here to let you know that this guy is a prehistorian. Just in case he didn't make it clear the dozens of times he said it.

He used to say the same thing on TIME TEAM. "I believe that..." that's an idealism and not scientific at all.

When the science is inconclusive what else can they do? There's no story otherwise. We're all free to believe what we like, and in time perhaps our knowledge will grow. The historical researchers understand the difference between speculation and evidence-based conclusions that will inform further study. The general public neither know nor care, but a good story can build interest in funding further research.

I was really hoping this was going to be hosted by Tony Robinson or Mary Beard!

I wish they'd rebuild all these things. It would be an enormous improvement over what we have currently.

They mentioned that on a Time Team dig where they tested Phil Harding. His ancestry was British, not Worzel Gummidge, with some very ancient addition from the Dordogne, which made him happy because they had good flint-knappers there :D

The end of the Roman occupation of Britania was a sad loss, but inevitable since the Roman society that was initially imported gradually became absorbed by deeply embedded ancient British culture. The Romans eventually lost their ambition to maintain a Mediterranean style culture in a cold, cloudy, damp land so far and so adverse to a comfortable subtropical region, and a longing for the traditional lifestyle of Italy made the crossing of the Channel in rough seas inarguably undesirable.
