I feel reponsible for this on going debate about the history of England after my comment "proud to be part Celt" started all this off but it really has lead to lots of interesting info... so I am proud to be British whatever that entails...thanks!!

@AtlanticCross1 England, the name which derives from Aengelend, or land of the angles. It was previously referred to as Brittania by the romans, even before their invasion, and Albion by the greeks in their description of far off lands. What they referred to themselves as is largely meaningless as Britain existed as a nation of independent tribes, and as such had no national identity beyond their own tribes. It wasn't needed. I also mean no offense here but I know my own history.

@AtlanticCross1 before the Roman invasion. The various different tribes of Celts who were not conquered were already divided then and had already begun to develop their own language. The welsh word for England, however, translates to "the lost lands" and has been in use since the conquest. After the romans left, and with the invasions of the angles and saxons, they became the most predominant people and Anglo-saxon was the prime language. The celts never truly came back into>

@AtlanticCross1 When you say Pro, what do you mean? As for the text, I don't know if you are referring to the Mabinogion or something else like that, or an earlier text. I live in Wales, though I am originally English. What we know now as Wales, Cumbria and Scotland were, once, all part of one kingdom. But it was never called NORTH wales as the concept of naming something "North" anything is only a recent form of terminology. I can only assume that you are referring to the time>

AtlanticCross1 As I live in London I'm off to the British Museum to take a look at that gold cape you mentioned...I think we are a big mixture of this and that in England!

@Xyalon Ran out of space on reply. The "White Eagle of Wales," was thought to have originated in Old Welsh Folklore. The Britons were thought to have believed the "White Eagle" would return and drive the Angles/Saxons or Danes from their lands in North Wales.

"North Wales" as used, was to identify the area of "Northern Wales." England did not exist, was all Wales. Was used the same as Northern Scotland/Southern Scotland. No offence intented here, I am pro Scot, English, Wales, and Irish.

@Xyalon Have spent many years reading in the archives of the U.K., and in libraries of various Universities in Scotland, and Wales. The area where present England is located, was most definately referred to as "North Wales." I may have read it on one of the famous ancient surviving literature pieces of Wales. Are probably about a dozen primary pieces of ancient Welsh literature in Wales. It may have been on the origin of the "White Eagle of Wales." In Welsh Folklore.

@saxonwench1 Hi Saxonwench. I ran out of words on the first reply. Did want to mention ,I did not even like to say the word "Turkey." Merlin was of Welsh mythology. Although recently there is a claim Merlin originated in England. Google" British Museum Mold Gold Cape," and look at the photos of the solid gold cape found in Wales. Made around 1600-1900 B.C.-----believed to have been worn by a woman----is beautiful. Take Care of the U.K.
