Oh, I like that! Now I feel like a bard who has done his duty 😆🙏 Thank you!!

Thank you, Bruce! Well... if you liked this video, you're going to love my channel in a few weeks. I've not posted for a while as I've been working on a massive project. I'm really excited to get it on here 👍🙏 I hope you stay tuned.

Agreed 👍

Honestly, receiving messages like that truly motivates me to keep going. I genuinely appreciate it! The channel has only been active for four months, so I am hopeful that it will continue to grow.

I agree. This would make a great film.

@melysmelys2622 There are not many historical documents on Dunmail's history, so I took the initiative to incorporate the history of his ancestors and the culture of the Brythonic Celts, I dramatised the story with my own creative ideas, delving into how the battle might have felt and exploring the emotions people would have experienced given the circumstances. I am humbled that you enjoyed it. It took me a considerable amount of time to complete the script as I wanted to honour and pay tribute to my ancestors.

You're welcome! I absolutely concur that Cumbria is rich in captivating historical tales, names, and artifacts. My upcoming video will have a duration of around 30 minutes, exploring topics such as the Vikings and Celts in Cumbria, among others. It's expected to be released in a week or two. Thank you for your encouragement!

Only found out recently through genealogical research, that I also come from this stock. My great grandmother called herself English, but was born and grew up in Cornwall, speaking the local Cornish language. This branch of the family has a long history of tin miners, and in the USA, copper miners. At least two died in the mines, one in MT and one in Cornwall. On the map, there seems to be those who also established their homes in the other Celtic regions as well, migrating from Cornwall to Wales; then Cumbria into Scotland. So in addition to Cornwall, the other areas were also settled by a number of my ancestors. (When the tin mines closed in Cornwall, mid-late 19th C, the men were recruited by a mining company to come to the USA. ) So please, I ask your patience with a few questions: How did the Nordic peoples’ settlements impact Cumbria and the other Celtic regions, if at all? In your research, did you happen to come upon a specific migratory pattern of these peoples, moving from the South to the more northern regions of the Celtic nations as they followed opportunities for mining or work in general or vice-versa? Were most Cumbrians miners or associated w mining companies? Or was farming the primary occupation of people? I read where Cumbria was the “ceremonial hub of England. Unfortunately, this wasn’t explained well. Could you explain what this is about? (I would think London would fulfill this duty.) Lastly, is there a strong genetic link between the Scots and Cumbrians? This presentation was absolutely superb! Please, do continue your videos on the Dark Ages- Middle Ages timeframe. I learned such a tremendous amount by watching your video. My deepest thanks for all the time and effort you put into this presentation! Without a doubt, one of the very best on KZfaq!

Thank you for the positive feedback, Patrick! The information about the gemstones is interesting! It's truly fascinating to delve into a mix of mythology and actual historical details. The existence of an invincible wizard in a cave is probably more myth than reality as well 😆, but it's definitely an intriguing idea to explore.

@@CeltainianChronicals Again, great story telling. History is more accessible when a writer can make it come to life. I got interested in history while studying as a theatre designer. Lots of historical plays out there, so I give a pass to theatrical interpretation. One thing that gets to me tho are faceted gem stones out of place. Everything else; if it looks good, go for it. (Except the wrong weapons)

Thank you, Bastait! I hope you enjoy the new Urien story as well 👍🙏

The Owra Linda book is certainly interesting, but it is controversial amongst historians due to the inconsistency of linguistics. If you have any suggestions for videos you'd like to see, let me know! At the end of the day, it's you guys I'm making them for. I was thinking about creating a video on Vindolanda as it's keeping with the Celtic theme. I genuinely appreciate you watching the video and glad you enjoyed it 🙏👍 It took me hundreds of hours to complete it on my own 🙏

Oera Linda!!

You're welcome, Casey! It's such an incredible story, but unfortunately, it's not widely known.

They will return! 👍🙏

I'll have a look into that in the morning! I'm only a few hours away myself 👍🙏

Thank you for the kind comment! It's people like you who truly motivate me. Your feedback isn't the first I've received, and it's solidified my decision to focus on these types of videos from now on. I'm excited to share that I've been working on a new project for the past few months, and I believe you'll enjoy it - check out my latest videos! You're in for a treat.

@@CeltainianChronicals Of course good sir! Just stumbled upon this channel, and am really liking your contents; I like all things Celtic anyways. I look forward to your next and future episodes. Do us all proud, ye glorious son of Avalon!

I agree 💯👍

​@@CeltainianChronicalsDo we have any information on Doggerland or the time when England was joined to Germany, Holland and eve Prussia? Fisherman have been told not to fish on Doggerland bank in the north sea because so much evidence has already been destroyed by fisherman using tools to scrape the surge for shellfish. Maybe 12000 (Yunga dryas event?) years ago when we was joined to Europe I'm not so sure?. This land bridge could alter how we are perceived as British people. ❤ Love the content man.

@@checktheskies5040 Thank you for the kind words! Doggerland was above sea level thousands of years before the Brythonic Celts, during the Mesolithic period, when people first came to Britain. I have made a video on the Bell Beaker folk, which you can find in my playlist titled "What Lies Buried Inside this 4000 Year Old Cairn?" This is the earliest period I have covered in my videos. Again, thank you for your kind words!

Thank you for that! Interesting 👍🙏 As you say, it must have been some other root vegetable.

I don't believe it was as simple as they were Christians at that point. The full Christianisation of the Brythonic Celts took several centuries, spanning from the 4th to the 8th century. The process varied across different regions and communities, with some embracing Christianity earlier than others. The conversion was often a gradual and complex process influenced by political, social, and cultural factors.

I agree! 🙏

Malcolm didnt fight along side Edmund but. When Edmund I of England killed Dunmail, the last Celtic king of Cumbria, he gave the region to Malcolm III of Scotland on the condition that Malcolm would pay homage to him as his overlord. This was a strategic move by Edmund, as it helped to secure the English border with Scotland. Malcolm agreed to the condition, and Cumbria became a part of Scotland for the next 300 years. The condition of homage was a common practice in medieval Europe, and it essentially meant that Malcolm was acknowledging Edmund as his superior. This did not mean that Malcolm was subservient to Edmund, but it did mean that he owed him allegiance. In return for homage, Edmund gave Malcolm control of Cumbria, which was a valuable strategic and economic asset. The agreement between Edmund and Malcolm was formalized in a treaty, which was signed in 1094. The treaty also stipulated that Malcolm would pay Edmund an annual tribute of 100 pounds. This tribute was a way for Edmund to ensure that Malcolm would continue to uphold his obligations under the agreement. The agreement between Edmund and Malcolm lasted for about 300 years, until it was finally broken by Edward I of England in 1296. Edward invaded Scotland and conquered Cumbria, which he then incorporated into the English realm.

No, they are different Dunmails. That Dunmail is generally considered to be the last king of Cumbria, not the last Celtic King of Cumbria. He was defeated by the Scots. There were two kings named Dunmail who ruled over Cumbria. The first Dunmail was defeated by Edmund, and the second Dunmail was defeated by Constantine II of Scotland. The Chronicle of the Kings of Alba mentions Dunmail in the entry for his son, Máel Coluim mac Dunmail. The chronicle states that Máel Coluim was "the son of Dunmail, king of Cumbria, who was defeated by Constantine, king of Scots, and expelled from his kingdom." This was a different Dunmail.

Haha! Sometimes, I play the Elder Scrolls theme when I'm heading into Cumbria. It gives you a bit of inspiration.

@@CeltainianChronicals Aye, born and raised in Cumbria myself. For an entertaining local legend, look up long Meg and her daughters.

@wolfieunicornreviews.8809 I've already made a video on it 👍🙏 The last one was about The Shap Avenue. Now, that is really interesting!

@@CeltainianChronicals definitely subscribing then. It is hard to find reliable youtubers with history like this.

@@AMPYMCSTAMPY Thank you!

Paganism is growing fast in the UK. 🙏although I'm not sure that Cumbria will ever have a Celtic King again.

@@CeltainianChronicals We will see. Great news about Polythisim though. As I said to the others I will say the same, make sure to grow the movement organically. If you force the issue, the movement will become illegitimate in the eyes of the people. Slow and steady wins the faith race. Second. If you can buy land, DO NOT SELL! No matter the cost, DO NOT SELL. The reasons why will later become quite clear. Third and most important I tell those who practice in America, self reliance pays off in the long run. Why not in the UK? May the road rise to meet you. Fair winds. :)

Building the Polytheism movement organically is indeed crucial for legitimacy and long-term success. Holding onto land can have valuable benefits, and the reasons will likely become evident in time. Self-reliance can be beneficial both in America and the UK. May you also have fair winds on your journey! 😊

I haven't played on my PS5 for years, but I used to love the old ones. If I ever go back to it, I'll be playing the new God of War for the Norse mythology.
