Many are called, but few are Pict.

I really appreciate you didn't make the mistake of mentioning that the Picts died out. Rather, the data suggests that how they were referenced by outside people changed dramatically at the same time the Pictish culture was changing due to the outside influence of constant invaders.

Nice video. I come from a town called Monifieth , an area steeped in Pictish history.

Hadrian's Wall = Proof that good fences make good neighbors! When the Picts could no longer free-range raid upon Roman Britain; they decided that they would rather trade. Thx for the mini history lesson . I like your channel. 😊

Always wondered about this group and who they were. This video is a great primer on the subject. Also, the reference to various dates in history is very helpful. Thank you for another interesting talk.

Great job. I enjoyed your take on a very under appreciated history and culture. Thanks for your time.

That was very well done . It has taken years to learn what you described in 8 minutes

Thank you for your informative video of the Picts. We would like to know more about this.

King Henry the eighth’s dissolution of the monasteries is Probably the biggest reason we don’t know much about the Picts as those monasteries acted as libraries and hospitals of the time and King Henry had any codexes with gold, silver and gems on their covers that were considered non essential burned.

I am Scottish and have been interested in the Picts for many years. Your video is one of the best short videos about the Picts that I have seen. However, I think that too much is made about the "wildness" of the Picts. We know (often from documented personal names) that the Pictish nobility intermarried with the nobility of their neighbouring kingdoms, i.e. the Scots, the Britons and the Angles. It was also common for nobility to spend time as exiles in the courts of neighbouring kingdoms when it was not safe for them to be in their homeland because of dynastic feuding there. They would often return to their homelands bringing foreign influences back with them. Also, recent archeological finds have shown that there was extensive trade networks between the Picts and their neighbours, and even with far distant lands. Consequently there was a large amount of cultural, and material exchange between all of the kingdoms in northern Britain. As such the Picts would have most likely had the same level of civilisation as all of the other peoples of their time and would not be the wild "savages" as claimed by some.

Scotland forever, Semper Fidelis, Oorah Carry On and Beyond ‼️‼️‼️‼️💥💥💥💯💯💯‼️‼️

Pict family where u at ??? ❤

Thanks for another great video

0:10 Savage people north of the wall... who else here says the Wildlings should have been Scottish?

I used the Pictish Beast motif shown at 7:37 on the face of a home made sporran. I wondered as I rendered it if this was an elephant ... not an eyewitness illustration of an elephant but perhaps a drawing of a description of an elephant handed down over generations. Where would the Picts have encountered elephants? Perhaps during Septimius Severus's ill fated shock and-awe invasion of Caledonia with his 40,000 man army. Did they have war elephants? Could be....

Am looking forward to this!

Well done Eric.

They made a video game about them, called Hell Blade: Senua's Sacrifice, you should do review on how accurate they were.

Really Really enjoyed this😊

Very interesting video.👍🧐

Definitely! Super interesting!

That was great! Thanks

Love these videos

The beastie carved into the stone may be none other than the Loch Ness Monster. Just a thought.

Scottish History Tours give a better breakdown of this topic.

How could the Picts be "gaulisized" if they already were Celts? The Gauls and the Celts were and are the same people. Maybe the Picts weren't Celts

I've long wondered what that "lightning-stroke-with-two-disks" motif was supposed to depict (pun intended).

The Aglo/Scottish border is most certainly not defined by Hadrian’s wall. The Roman built system of fortifications that marked the limit of the Roman Empire exists entirely within the borders of England proper.

High WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

Ireland was know as Scotti, which meant raider or riever. The current clan crests which have ships on them, Campbell's as an example, were originally from Eire or Norse mixed. They raided from Dublin to the west of now Scotland........

You look an absolute spangel in that victorian get up min lol. Fortriu was not the largest pictish settlement it was Tap o noth right beside Mons Grampus battle we call it bennachie learn more min.

Cool.

I'm a bit confused. I was always under the impression that during the Pictish era, Scotland was known as Caledonia?! True? False?

I expected to hear about Kenneth McAlpine.

Abernathy is my 2nd highest clanship they were picts

it seems gallic entered scotland from the frankish regions of europe. the galls/gauls were always at war with the romans there so they fled to england but when the romans invaded england the then fled to and settled in scotland. hence "gallic"

Where did the pic come from?

Lol the z rod double disk is a Matrilineal crest we wrote in ancient ogham script. You know nothing.

I've been looking for information on the border name trotter say the name is northern English and Scottish where does it originate

What is Eric's tartan?

This was amazing, I descend from the old Pictish king Nechtan Uerb I believe. I wish there was more info left behind.

Two separate incidents of londinium being levelled by the Picts.

The Picts are a confederation of tribes. The Painted Peoples were tattooed.

❤

Good overview, did u know that Ireland was called Scotia ie The Land of the Scots and the people were called the Scotti ie Scots this is what the Romans and Greeks called today's Ireland there was no Ireland untill about the 6th century it was called Scotia and later Hibernia, the Scotii are not irish they were a tribe that litched up on today's Ireland in the 1st century also the Picts invaded today's Ireland in the 2nd century and took many slaves back to today's Scotland ❤

Search : The Black Celts, an ancient civilization in Ireland and Britain 800-500 BC

CE. what time is CE

That animal has to be a horse. That would be my best guess.

Alba go Braugh

Pict- picture……your welcome

Please stop using BCE & CE when talking about British history. These silly woke terms were only created to appease non Europeans who apparently get offended by these terms. But this video you have made is not about them. It is about Scotland, the United Kingdom and Europe. Much more of this politically correct nonsense and you may well lose a few British subscribers who actually care about the erosion of our cultural norms.

What did they call themselves? Bob, Tony, Shaun, Mary, Eileen, Susan.....

There was Vikings before the Viking age! 🗡😉

Alba is pronounced Al ah pah or Al ah buh.

From archaeological and genetics we know now that Scotland was formed of three groups. The hunter gatherer people, the first farmers and Indo Europeans. The Hunter Gatherers were few in number and lived on the coasts, the farmers arrived about 5500 years ago via Europe from the Middle East and built the stone circles. About 2500 - 3000 years Indo European groups began to arrive. The Farmers seem to have called themselves KRITAN which changed with the changes in Celtic over time to become Brtan or Pretan. In Ireland where the Celtic Q-Kw-Gw sound did not change to B-P the name continued to become CRITAN and eventually Cruithne. These Cruithne people were associated with the West of Ireland and are sometimes known as the "Black Irish" because of there different darker appearance. They also tended to be shorter. The picture seems to be one of a stone age and early bronze age people adopting culture and eventually language from Indo-European (early Celtic Proto Celtic) language. The language was much altered and continued to use a lot of the grammar of the Pre Indo European language. Which is why Gaelic and Welsh grammar resembles Semtic middle Eastern Languages more than Gaulish and other Indo European languages. Pronunciation probably was affected as well. There also seems to have been a later Iron Age Celtic immigration of associated with the Milesians in Ireland. These people coming from Northern Spain and the Atlantic coast of France. Making the Tuath De Danna the first farmers the Fir Bolgs being the early bronze age Proto Celtic immigrants. The Irish myths give a general sequence that fits generally with the genetic and archaeological evidence. A process of settlement and addition of new groups of immigrants bringing new technology and culture. Each new group mixing and changing the population. Different admixtures producing different regional cultures. The Picts seem to have been an admixture with more Pre Indo European culture and First Farmer influenced Brythonic Celtic language.

‘s math a rinn thu

So when did the queen scotia come to the land from Egypt

A centurion would not be s young trooper

These peoples spoke Brythonic Cymraeg or 'Welsh' They were the Caledoniaid ..the 'hard ones' and represented the last free Brythonic tribes on the British mainland..We know they spoke old Brythonic because theirplace names are not' Gwydelic' sounding but Brythonic sounding eg Aberdeen ( the mouth of the river Deen ) to Aberystwyth ( the mouth of the river Ystwyth.) Brythonic was once spoken everywhere in Britain and is the official lanuage of Britain today All culture was learnt and memorised in rhyme form. so it wasn't necessary to write it down ..This is where the bardic traditions of Prydain originated.with Taliesyn and Aneuryn from the North of England..They used the old Brythonic 'Coelbren 'script that was used by all druids.(their priests.)It has also as now allowed all Cymric peoples to be able to read the Egyptian Hyroglyphs.Crazy shit no? Odd how you've probably never heard of our language because you never mentioned it once.?

If you are going to be an authority on these subjects, be concise. There is confusing ambiguity in much of your explanation, easily fixed with an additional word or two. You are telling people what you know, with gaps, not educating, to many confusing statements to even mention. Ask a trained Presenter for proof.

What was Scotland called before the Scotti moved in, was it Alba?
