Braveheart Irish

[gaconnochie]

how those north of the Forth were coming together centring on the Caledoii who became the northern Picts and Verturiones (associated with the Maetea) the southern Picts eventually combining into the Pictish nation. So the people were there but they weren't as yet the Picts. Historians sometimes use the term proto-Picts to describe the Briitsh tribes north of the Antonine.

[gaconnochie]

academics have been settled on the fact that they were for the most part P-Celtic just as the rest of the British tribes were. There's all kinds of nonsense on the net of course

[ScotiExile]

Scots were a warrior group from Ireland. Ireland & Scotland were formerly called Scotia major and Scotia minor. Ignore the english loving trash on here like richardelden and segano.

[WUDJABEABLE]

@RichardElden this is history not politics

[FletcherWolfe]

@ChaosDynamics the funny thing is the scottish were orginally those from Irland who settled there. they actually had very simmilar cultures

[segano1]

@FletcherWolfe Naw, it's not funny at all, as the Scots are not Irish nor did they come from Ireland, the Scots are Caledonian Picts of ancient Scotland, only Papist Plastic Paddie Yanks say otherwise.

Irish culture is a 19th century invention (parts based on Scottish culture).

The real Irish culture was lost after their Pope Adrian IV sold the island to England.

[LordHannigan]

@ChaosDynamics Thank you sir any books that you may be able to suggest? I'm from the United States, but I've always wanted to learn the language just for my own benefit.

[Seankwondo87]

@LordHannigan The teach yourself series has both Irish and Scots Gaelic. They're a decent start if youre in the US.

[LordHannigan]

@ChaosDynamics Where did you learn Irish? I must know tell me please.

AS DNA SHOWS TODAY THE ENGLISH ARE THE REAL BRITONS ALONG WITH THE WELSH,THE SCOTTS ARE FROM IRELAND

[krackersdave]

@ThePritch01 I think by definition the English are Anglo -Saxon or German.. not Britons.. Only the Welsh can lay claim to being the decendents of the Britons the Romans knew.

[CroPETROforever]

@krackersdave english are "MUTATION" between CELTS & ANGLOSAXONS (germans)... a bad experiment that has gone totally wrong.

[LordHannigan]

@CroPETROforever Yeah there was a reason that one of the largest mountain ranges in the world divided them.

[Seankwondo87]

@ThePritch01 DNA shows the English are Germans (Anglo-Saxon). The Welsh and Cornish are the true britons. The highland scots are from Ireland and the lowlanders are mostly similar to the english though I'm sure some british blood remains in both the english and the scots. 

[LordHannigan]

@Seankwondo87 have you ever heard of Alba?

[Seankwondo87]

@LordHannigan yes obviously I have heard of Alba. I'm scottish afterall. I fail to see what that has to do with the English being Anglo-Saxon or anything else I mentioned. Alba (or some variation) is the term for Scotland in pretty much every celtic language and was also used as a term for the pictish territories (also Scotland) though the origins of the Picts is still debated to this day.

[gaconnochie]

@Seankwondo87 "though the origins of the Picts is still debated to this day." Not debated much by serious historians. The Picts simply were later confederations of the earlier British tribes who existed at the time of the Roman invasions.

[arriviste2020]

@gaconnochie

The Picts occupied a large area of Scotland, long before the Romans ever took a guided tour of Scotland. Virtually nothing is known about them as they left little or no information regarding themselves.

[gaconnochie]

@arriviste2020 The Picts as a people don't come into existence until well into the Roman period. At the time of the Romans the Caledonii and other northern tribes were simply regarded as Britons. They gradually amalgamated into larger confederations known as Picts from about the end of the 3rdC onwards. The Pictish kingdom lasted well into the second half of the first millenium and yes you are right they didn't leave a great deal but they are not completely mysterious. Scottish historians and

[arriviste2020]

@gaconnochie

The 'Roman period", you need to define that in a narrower manner.The ninth Legion invaded Southern Scotland in A.D.81. They pushed Northwards to the Moray Firth, fighting the 'Caledonians' Some scholars place the Picts in Scotland during the first millennium before Christ.Some say they were of Scythian origin. First historian of Scotland was the Roman 'Tacitus'.There is enough mystery in regard to the Picts than any other group, possible exception being Stone and Bronze age groups

[gaconnochie]

@arriviste2020 No-one mentions anyone called Picts in the period you are talking about. The Picts are first mentioned by Eumenius in 297AD a whole two centuries after Tacitus wrote about Agricola's campaign. The Romans listed the tribes of the north (either in Tacitus or Ptolemy) mentioning about 15 north of the Forth-Clyde line. For example Caledonii, Vacomagi, Boresti, Venicones etc and 4 in the south like Votadini, Selgovae etc. Gradually through time Roman writers described

[00bliss99]

I love Braveheart, and I'm glad the added comedy with the Irishman character. I think he does a great job. What's even funnier to me is the actor is really from Scotland.

[amesmb]

Out of curiosity, why does the caption end with "Amy"? Pretty sure he never said that.

[coffer97]

[KMSigler]

love his face at the end XD

[Pawnbroker00]

@ChaosDynamics True. I suppose it is comparable to modern scottish doric dialect and northumbrian english dialect. Distant relatives and all that shite

[elena210476]

Great Ireland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[davidglynn1]

In Ireland it's common to start a sentence with the word "Sure" when affirming something. In this clip Stephen is making a statement not asking a question. :)

"Sure didn't the Almighty send me to watch your back". ;)

[Pawnbroker00]

@davidglynn1 In MODERN IRELAND thats common.

In medieval ireland and medieval scotland at this time both countries spoke gaelic languages of the same origins, and so if either spoke to eachother they would have entered into much confusion without an interpreter in real life since its doubtful that either knew another language.

[SpaceMan131326]

words well spoken
