Thank you for this. I've currently just entered the Irish education system after leaving it for 8 years and I've been stumbling through Irish History more confused than ever. Irish history is sooooo complex and confusing as it ties into the history of many other places and goes back very far especially for an Island. This documentary/lecture is helping me connect the dots so thank you.
Congratulations ! this is the best history of Ireland that I have ever seen or read. I am Irish myself with an interest in history amd I have actually learned a few things. I will deffinately now check out all your your other videos as the quality of research you have done is excellent. All the best with your other videos, great work and easy to follow.

@@sterlingcampbell2116 Then the conclusion is that the comment intended to convey the notion that the Irish public were content with restrictions. This is an imbecilic idea.

Sadly even the youtube history channels with 1 million plus subscribers have been demonized.

TV channels could never get away with not sharing ad revenue with the studio who produced the show. Why can youtube?

As someone who has Irish, Welsh, Scottish and English ancestors ( in other words, a typical Englishman ) I want to say you have done a remarkable job with this video. The only minor comment I would make is the change of name from "Norman " to " English" was maybe a little too early in date. After the Normans invaded what would become Britain, they were effectively an army in occupation in many areas for the next 200 years. Altogether, this is an excellent video - a very fair explanation of a highly complex history.
@@thomashaeusler The replacement theory was something the Victorians suggested for Germanic settlers eradicating the earlier people of England. Modern DNA studies show that in general populations remain but adopt the new culture. Celtic is more of a culture than an identifiable genetic group and the distribution changes across Britain are largely independent of later national boundaries. It's a fascinating subject for sure and science is making the picture clearer all the time.

Thank You for putting this out. I have watched both episodes. Superbly Factual and sensitively told. Of Irish descent myself, both my parents Irish my DNA is Irish. My complements to the Chef.
I'm only @23:00 but my brain needs a break,(not in a bad way, more like waiting a while for dessert!) so I thought I'd use the time to say thank you. This is how documentaries should be. Very well researched and written, Nice even narration, no talking down to us, or attempting to manufacture emotion, it's very much a case of "Just the facts, ma'am" I've liked and subbed, and have already noted several vids I want to binge on. It's most unusual for me to want to thank that being we know as Algorithm. Again, kudos, and many thanks
Sir, this is an excellent history. I love that you have detailed so much of it, especially from the 3rd/4th centuries through to the present. I would like to know more of the earliest history - where did Eiru's original inhabitants come from, and more of their sociopolitical organisation. I have definitely enjoyed this vid, have subscribed and look forward to partaking of more of your videos. Great job!
@bastiat Well since the video is talking about the ancient history of ireland not current affairs then using the the name applied at the time would seem to be appropriate ( you twat ). Ireland has never ever been called eire. The word eire in the irish language ( gaeilge ) means burden. The correct irish language of name for Ireland id Éire, note the fadá over the É.
Welcome to our world! Everything...and I mean everything that has to do with American history is narrated to us from someone with a British accent. Even our news channels and comedy shows are being overrun with Brits. Not that I don't enjoy their accent. It is, however, somewhat bizarre.
@Sean McMahon Common misconception. A lot of the "Irish" weren't Irish. They were Planters (RE: Land Thieves) transplanted from areas of England and Scotland after all the hot spicy genocide that is left out of the English history books. Up to about 1850 they made up the vast majority of people leaving Ireland to got the US. Post 1850 Irish Natives made up the bulk of immigrants to the US.
@@joeavreg2254 If you think you have/had to be Gael to be considered Irish, most of the greatest 'Irishmen' were not in fact Irish by that standard. Yeats, Parnell, WOLF TONE, Grattan. Don't be absolutely ridiculous
And yet, and yet, we are just so perplexed on how serial killers do what they do. How can they do such things? OMG! Really tho, no matter how butchering people is justified, it's essentially the same. The only difference is, serial killers do it for self & outside the accepted group & structure. But the second it's done for self, or the rulers (kings, Queens, etc) 1st, & then for the people (group & structure ) next, then we can rape, torture, & butcher whomever gets in the way. Cold hard facts! But OMG, these serial killers? How is this possible, how can they do this? Oh they must be "EVIL" ! Yep that explains it all. We'll do all these elaborate studies to try to figure out what is just human nature! And in human nature, we will always find some justification for what we do. Which could mean that the serial killer is at least more honest & true to what they are. Ironically it's only after they are caught, that they start questioning themselves, & talking the same talk of the indoctrinated masses. That "I must be evil" or "something is wrong with me", etc etc, talk
No its not: it's the fundamental nature of sociopaths, psychopaths and narcissists - and they always get a free pass throughout history because the rest of us suffer from this age old habit of blaming ourselves for the carnage these parasites cause.
The map of Britain and Ireland makes Britain looking like it's preying on Ireland while Ireland is looking out to sea, unaware of the danger behind it's back.
Grandparents (mother’s side) Irish☘️ . Grandparents (fathers side) Welsh🏴 Mother born in Scotland 🏴 Father born in England 🏴 We are all connected on these islands ❤️
Not just on those islands. Here in America, we share that heritage. I recently had my DNA done. 50% English, 16% Scottish, 15% Welsh, 14% Irish. The other 5% is from the Scandinavian countries. My grandmother's maiden name is Madsen, so that makes sense.
I think most white dudes in America are a combination of these cultures. I’ve got welsh on my moms side, and Scottish on my dads, it’s funny, my step mom is heavily irish. It’s crazy, I’ve been watching videos of the unique cultural history’s of the British isles, and I just feel it resonate with me. Like I’m being encouraged to study up on our history
@@Hainero2001 America is so young that every white person here is of some European heritage. It seems Irish and English are the most common which makes sense if you know Americas past
Amazing to read your comment! The Danes had a kingdom in Ireland for about 300 years from 800 under Ivar Ragnarssen. The Danes were called Ostmen (men from the East) by the Irish. The kingdom encompassed western Scotland and northern England though Ivar ruled out of Dublin.
I love it when historians acknowledge that any part of an indigenous people’s tradition really happened. It’s so generous of them, albeit they never do it but grudgingly and with an obvious sense of grievance at not being able to destroy every part of every people’s identity. Thanks, history scholars! You really make humanity proud.
47:48 I just learned that Lancastrians and Yorkists took some portion of Irelands. This sort of information was never being taught when I was in school during history lessons.
Hey, I liked it, including the reference to Chief O'Brian. Comprehensive and clear. I will check more of your videos out, and possibly subscribe, when I finish paying off the Ferengi!
They were the very first victims of English colonialism. I think the struggles of the Irish are trivialized in American education since we tend to focus on all the awful things that happened to black people and American Indians. Irish history is truly written in blood, sweat, and tears.
Henry the second of England had no intentions of colonising Ireland. The English Army were asked by an Irish King, Dermot McMurrough to help him in his battles against a neighbouring King. He was successful and as a reward, the English were given lands by McMurrough. These were the first English settlers in Ireland.
Researched to the extreme 👍🏻 with a TON of details you probably didn't know, and beautiful illustrations. I especially appreciated the maps, l think I would have been confused without them, l need visuals!- lt is mind-blowing🤯 to see the countless times the maps changed even within a handful of years, wow!! Well done to you sir for your obvious multiple hours of painstaking research!🤝🏻 Much appreciation of a ginger Celt born way over here!💖☘️💖🇮🇪🖖🏻🌈🇨🇦
There were christians in Ireland before St Patrick infact he mentions it in his writing. These christians who brought christianity were the coptic christians from Egypt and monks who settled around the west coast of the island. Evidence is still there today in county Kerry at Skellig michael of a coptic monastery. Some of the ancient Irish symbols are coptic rather than Roman.
The Conquest of Ireland arguably wasn’t fully completed until the Act of Union in 1800 when the Kingdom of Ireland (after centuries of constitutional and regime changes) was forcibly merged into the British state (though our civil service and courts remained separate, and we retained our legislative representatives). Those representatives forced to sit in London instead of Dublin, but went back to Ireland in 1919 and declared independence in a reconstituted Irish Parliament (copying the Hungarian walkout of the Austrian parliament in the 1860s). European history is very complicated as you can imagine !
Hi. Just wanted to let you know that I am really enjoying this channel. The way you narrate your documentaries really compensates for the lack of professional video and audio edits.
Really enjoy your thorough and fascinating videos. I learn more from you than a year in college. My family has mostly very far northern European roots, but some of them were Irish. The conflict is interesting to contemplate. Thank you for taking the time to create these videos.
I would like to point out that it was not Catherine that failed to produce a male heir for Henry the VIII. I know it seems trivial, but it is important to remember that sex is determined by the father and not the mother.
Fluffy McNuggies no. Sorry. On a couple of points. 1) Gender is not sex. It is not a biological term. At best it is a social science term from the 50s and not a discussion of the actual biology of a person (though linked). 2) Sex? It isn’t random. It is biology. It is linked to the Y chromosome of the father. Since mommy has 2 X chromosomes and daddy doesn’t...daddy has the Y...that is all that matters in determining sex.
Current research suggests that the Celts didn't reach Ireland in significant numbers, they certainly didn't settle or begin the Irish identity. That had happened hundreds of years prior. The modern Irish are descendants of people that pre-existed the celtic arrival in that part of the world.
The Battle of Glenn Máma was fought between Red Gap Rathcoole, Windmill Hill and Blackchurch, Dublin; and Lyons Hill, County Kildare. 'Tis right outside my house :)
Your comment resonates with a heartfelt - "sadness that I was born in a country other than my bloodline hailed". US American Irish - family 3 generation County Kerry (Murphy and Sullivan) and 8th generation County Clare (Lynch). Lynchburg, Virginia founded by my Mother's - Father's - G X6 Grandfather. 🍀
Beth Bartlett I'm from Clare myself in a touristy spot near an Airport so we get a LOT of Americans here during the summer and TBH I always thought Jesus who cares where your Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great grandfather or whatever was from you aren't really Irish, not that I would be a dick to them or anything they are guests in the country and would always treat them as such. But last year I started learning Irish again and this summer went to Donegal to an Irish language course and to my slight surprise there were as many Americans there as Irish varying from 20's to 70's getting to know them by socialising in the bar in the evening I was left dumbfounded by how much of the Irish culture was preserved in the States. There was a girl from Minnesota who played the harp singing songs as Gaeilge I shit you not from the 1700's. It made me think about the horrible conditions that forced their ancestors out of Ireland (as well as plenty of my own) and that pain has travelled through the centuries to people several generations removed from Ireland leaving them while proud to be American feeling somewhere in the back of their minds the aren't where they should be. Long Story short it might have taken me 34 years but I get what your saying and if you feel as you say, Ireland is only a flight away and a wonderful country with the best people on Earth anyway Slán go fóill mo chara.
@@solidus784 I understand - it is truly a unique experience when Ireland Irish get to know American born (or other Countries) and realize - ya can take the blood out of Ireland -* but ya can't take Ireland out if the Blood!* Our Grandparents TAUGHT US THE ESSENCE of being Irish - and we Pass the Passion on to our Children. I imagine that's how it would be if we went to Basque Country too - I LOVE Your Irish Honesty! Many blessings my - sister ❤
@@solidus784 There is an opinion from a few who would tell you that the lost tribe of the Jews went to Ireland. I'd say they settled in Cavan and I married one of them.
poro poro I'll let you into a secret, it rains a lot over Ireland so the people all have to shelter in big dry buildings known as pubs where they consume more liquid than the clouds emptied over the land, and then fight and fall down a lot.
@@Dlúith I wonder if it would confuse Ashle if we explained that Irish is Gaeilge in Irish except when it's nGaeilge or Eireannach ... sorry, no fada on my keyboard ;)
A Greek geographer named Hecataeus in the 6th century BC encountered a tribal people in southern France that he called Κελτοί or Keltoi. About a century later, Herodotus used the same word to describe certain tribes living near the head of the Danube, but without any evidence that they were related to the Κελτοί from near Marseille. Other writers picked up the word “Κελτοί” so that it became a generic Greek term for “tribal people living in lands north of the Mediterranean.” As the Romans expanded northward towards the Italian Alps, they encountered people who called themselves Gauls (“Galli” in Latin). These Gauls were also to be found on the other side of the Alps, in what is now France (Roman Gallia) and in northern Iberia (e.g., Galicia). Roman writers, being familiar with the Greeks, assumed that these were the same people as the Keltoi mentioned by by the Greeks, and thus the terms Galli and Κελτοί, Gauls and Celts, became more or less interchangeable. In the late 17th century AD, linguists came to realize that the surviving languages of northwestern Europe (specifically Irish and Scots Gaelic, Manx, Welsh, Cornish, and Breton) had a common origin. They labeled this branch of the Indo-European language tree “Celtic,” harking back to the Keltoi of yore. This led to the leap of logic that if the old languages of the British Isles were “Celtic,” then the peoples of the islands had to have been Celts too. Thus was born the myth of a race of mystical, Iron Age warrior-poets who colonized the islands and established a great civilization that flourished until the coming of the crass, brutal, and unimaginative Anglo-Saxons many centuries later. As I noted, this myth has been exploded by more recent research. It is now generally believed that a “Celtic” language arrived in these islands around 2500 years ago, was adopted by the people who lived here (descendants of our ancestors who had been procreating here since the end of the Ice Age), and later evolved into the Goidelic language of Ireland and the Brythonic languages of the neighboring island. How or why this came to pass is still the subject of lively debate among academics. One theory that has gained ground in the past few decades is that what are now called the Insular Celtic languages spread from Spain along the northwestern seaboard, initially as a lingua franca for purposes of trade among the peoples of the region. Others still hold to the belief that Celtic-speaking warriors invaded the islands and ruled over the existing inhabitants as a minority aristocratic class. But however the languages came to be planted in the Isles, the absence of an infusion of “Celtic” genetic markers makes clear that there was no mass displacement of the old stock by a “race” of invaders. The Celtic “invasion” was rural and linguistic, not genetic. There was and is no “Celtic race.”

@@richlisola1 Clearly you do not understand basic irish history lol. No one who was wealthy enough to own property had to emigrate during the famine. That privilege was reserved for the Irish paupers who were landless. History books are my authority mate. You'd clearly do well to read one
@@user-qi5jw2hg1c Some property owner did left. Some land owner had very meager property so they like the landless irish did left.
Thank You for putting this out. I have watched both episodes.
Superbly Factual and sensitively told. Of Irish descent myself, both my parents Irish my DNA is Irish.

I'm German Irish so this is very informative and insightful thank you
I'm German Dutch English Irish. Thank you for this history.
I'm only @23:00 but my brain needs a break,(not in a bad way, more like waiting a while for dessert!) so I thought I'd use the time to say thank you.
This is how documentaries should be.
Very well researched and written, Nice even narration, no talking down to us, or attempting to manufacture emotion, it's very much a case of "Just the facts, ma'am"
I've liked and subbed, and have already noted several vids I want to binge on. It's most unusual for me to want to thank that being we know as Algorithm.
Again, kudos, and many thanks
Sir, this is an excellent history. I love that you have detailed so much of it, especially from the 3rd/4th centuries through to the present. I would like to know more of the earliest history - where did Eiru's original inhabitants come from, and more of their sociopolitical organisation. I have definitely enjoyed this vid, have subscribed and look forward to partaking of more of your videos. Great job!
@bastiat It's actually the old irish word Éiru which came from the Archaic Irish word Īweriū.
@bastiat Well since the video is talking about the ancient history of ireland not current affairs then using the the name applied at the time would seem to be appropriate ( you twat ). Ireland has never ever been called eire. The word eire in the irish language ( gaeilge ) means burden. The correct irish language of name for Ireland id Éire, note the fadá over the É.
Originally, Celtics peoples are from the area that's now Spain
Gotta say it feels slightly strange having an American explain Irish history to an Irish man lol.
lol, yea? did you learn a new thing or two?
Well, if you are familiar with basic Irish history you would know that more Irish people came to the US than any other country.
Welcome to our world! Everything...and I mean everything that has to do with American history is narrated to us from someone with a British accent. Even our news channels and comedy shows are being overrun with Brits. Not that I don't enjoy their accent. It is, however, somewhat bizarre.
@Sean McMahon Common misconception. A lot of the "Irish" weren't Irish. They were Planters (RE: Land Thieves) transplanted from areas of England and Scotland after all the hot spicy genocide that is left out of the English history books. Up to about 1850 they made up the vast majority of people leaving Ireland to got the US. Post 1850 Irish Natives made up the bulk of immigrants to the US.
@@joeavreg2254 If you think you have/had to be Gael to be considered Irish, most of the greatest 'Irishmen' were not in fact Irish by that standard. Yeats, Parnell, WOLF TONE, Grattan. Don't be absolutely ridiculous
Battle after battle...self interest is an ongoing fundamental part of human nature. How sad...we learn nothing century upon century.
Well it is a fundamental part of human nature as you've rightly said and human nature is a constant throughout history.
And yet, and yet, we are just so perplexed on how serial killers do what they do. How can they do such things? OMG! Really tho, no matter how butchering people is justified, it's essentially the same. The only difference is, serial killers do it for self & outside the accepted group & structure. But the second it's done for self, or the rulers (kings, Queens, etc) 1st, & then for the people (group & structure ) next, then we can rape, torture, & butcher whomever gets in the way. Cold hard facts!
But OMG, these serial killers? How is this possible, how can they do this? Oh they must be "EVIL" ! Yep that explains it all. We'll do all these elaborate studies to try to figure out what is just human nature! And in human nature, we will always find some justification for what we do. Which could mean that the serial killer is at least more honest & true to what they are. Ironically it's only after they are caught, that they start questioning themselves, & talking the same talk of the indoctrinated masses. That "I must be evil" or "something is wrong with me", etc etc, talk
@@corvettefever360 Self interest is normal and is not wrong. Our action in pursue of that self-interest is where it can become questionable
No its not: it's the fundamental nature of sociopaths, psychopaths and narcissists - and they always get a free pass throughout history because the rest of us suffer from this age old habit of blaming ourselves for the carnage these parasites cause.
The map of Britain and Ireland makes Britain looking like it's preying on Ireland while Ireland is looking out to sea, unaware of the danger behind it's back.
Sounds about right

Amazing to read your comment!
The Danes had a kingdom in Ireland for about 300 years from 800 under Ivar Ragnarssen.
The Danes were called Ostmen (men from the East) by the Irish. The kingdom encompassed western Scotland and northern England though Ivar ruled out of Dublin.

Accents last for a single generation. You may still use some Irish words but I doubt you “still have the accent”😂😂😂

there were kings in Ireland and each territory kingdom provincial kings and a High King of all Ireland.
O'doherty was one of them
And the high king's kingdom was in Meath
@@jakegalvin6946 Not to mention the Last High king actually resided in Tuam which was briefly the capital of Ireland at the time
And that's why the flag of Munster has 3 crowns on it
I love it when historians acknowledge that any part of an indigenous people’s tradition really happened. It’s so generous of them, albeit they never do it but grudgingly and with an obvious sense of grievance at not being able to destroy every part of every people’s identity. Thanks, history scholars! You really make humanity proud.
? Destroy? What?
@@reidparker1848
Ireland almost lost its identity completely, due to the overbearing practices of the Roman Church.
Coretta…that is sad! That’s what conquerors do, even though they inspire the opposite, at least those who survived the reprisals.

They were the very first victims of English colonialism. I think the struggles of the Irish are trivialized in American education since we tend to focus on all the awful things that happened to black people and American Indians. Irish history is truly written in blood, sweat, and tears.
Yeah Irish arguably were the first slaves the English sent to America. People dispute that as they claim it wasn’t “slavery”. I call bs
Henry the second of England had no intentions of colonising Ireland. The English Army were asked by an Irish King, Dermot McMurrough to help him in his battles against a neighbouring King. He was successful and as a reward, the English were given lands by McMurrough. These were the first English settlers in Ireland.
Researched to the extreme 👍🏻 with a TON of details you probably didn't know, and beautiful illustrations.

There were christians in Ireland before St Patrick infact he mentions it in his writing. These christians who brought christianity were the coptic christians from Egypt and monks who settled around the west coast of the island. Evidence is still there today in county Kerry at Skellig michael of a coptic monastery. Some of the ancient Irish symbols are coptic rather than Roman.
Very well presented and informed over view of this Islands history. Thanks, I appreciate this.

The Conquest of Ireland arguably wasn’t fully completed until the Act of Union in 1800 when the Kingdom of Ireland (after centuries of constitutional and regime changes) was forcibly merged into the British state (though our civil service and courts remained separate, and we retained our legislative representatives). Those representatives forced to sit in London instead of Dublin, but went back to Ireland in 1919 and declared independence in a reconstituted Irish Parliament (copying the Hungarian walkout of the Austrian parliament in the 1860s).
European history is very complicated as you can imagine !
It’s pretty cool to see the history of the O’Brien’s

I would like to point out that it was not Catherine that failed to produce a male heir for Henry the VIII. I know it seems trivial, but it is important to remember that sex is determined by the father and not the mother.
stonewall 138777 I know but in those times they could not have known .
Wicked Witch true. But it was more a comment on the chosen language. It is a great video. Just observing
that is not how gender is based. wtf, its random. sex is not determined by either parent.
Fluffy McNuggies no. Sorry. On a couple of points.
1) Gender is not sex. It is not a biological term. At best it is a social science term from the 50s and not a discussion of the actual biology of a person (though linked).
2) Sex? It isn’t random. It is biology. It is linked to the Y chromosome of the father. Since mommy has 2 X chromosomes and daddy doesn’t...daddy has the Y...that is all that matters in determining sex.
@@stonewall-mz7yl does this really matter?

Current research suggests that the Celts didn't reach Ireland in significant numbers, they certainly didn't settle or begin the Irish identity. That had happened hundreds of years prior. The modern Irish are descendants of people that pre-existed the celtic arrival in that part of the world.

I'm from Clare myself in a touristy spot near an Airport so we get a LOT of Americans here during the summer and TBH I always thought Jesus who cares where your Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great grandfather or whatever was from you aren't really Irish, not that I would be a dick to them or anything they are guests in the country and would always treat them as such.
But last year I started learning Irish again and this summer went to Donegal to an Irish language course and to my slight surprise there were as many Americans there as Irish varying from 20's to 70's getting to know them by socialising in the bar in the evening I was left dumbfounded by how much of the Irish culture was preserved in the States. There was a girl from Minnesota who played the harp singing songs as Gaeilge I shit you not from the 1700's. It made me think about the horrible conditions that forced their ancestors out of Ireland (as well as plenty of my own) and that pain has travelled through the centuries to people several generations removed from Ireland leaving them while proud to be American feeling somewhere in the back of their minds the aren't where they should be.
Long Story short it might have taken me 34 years but I get what your saying and if you feel as you say, Ireland is only a flight away and a wonderful country with the best people on Earth anyway Slán go fóill mo chara.

FYI, "Ogham" is pronounced "O-am." The H silences the G (Irish is a strange language that way!)
actually makes sense because irish "o" sound is narrow and short yet "gh" makes it wider. like bodhran. i guess "h" acts like a merging characther.

A Greek geographer named Hecataeus in the 6th century BC encountered a tribal people in southern France that he called Κελτοί or Keltoi. About a century later, Herodotus used the same word to describe certain tribes living near the head of the Danube, but without any evidence that they were related to the Κελτοί from near Marseille. Other writers picked up the word “Κελτοί” so that it became a generic Greek term for “tribal people living in lands north of the Mediterranean.”
As the Romans expanded northward towards the Italian Alps, they encountered people who called themselves Gauls (“Galli” in Latin). These Gauls were also to be found on the other side of the Alps, in what is now France (Roman Gallia) and in northern Iberia (e.g., Galicia). Roman writers, being familiar with the Greeks, assumed that these were the same people as the Keltoi mentioned by by the Greeks, and thus the terms Galli and Κελτοί, Gauls and Celts, became more or less interchangeable.
In the late 17th century AD, linguists came to realize that the surviving languages of northwestern Europe (specifically Irish and Scots Gaelic, Manx, Welsh, Cornish, and Breton) had a common origin. They labeled this branch of the Indo-European language tree “Celtic,” harking back to the Keltoi of yore.
This led to the leap of logic that if the old languages of the British Isles were “Celtic,” then the peoples of the islands had to have been Celts too. Thus was born the myth of a race of mystical, Iron Age warrior-poets who colonized the islands and established a great civilization that flourished until the coming of the crass, brutal, and unimaginative Anglo-Saxons many centuries later.
As I noted, this myth has been exploded by more recent research. It is now generally believed that a “Celtic” language arrived in these islands around 2500 years ago, was adopted by the people who lived here (descendants of our ancestors who had been procreating here since the end of the Ice Age), and later evolved into the Goidelic language of Ireland and the Brythonic languages of the neighboring island. How or why this came to pass is still the subject of lively debate among academics. One theory that has gained ground in the past few decades is that what are now called the Insular Celtic languages spread from Spain along the northwestern seaboard, initially as a lingua franca for purposes of trade among the peoples of the region. Others still hold to the belief that Celtic-speaking warriors invaded the islands and ruled over the existing inhabitants as a minority aristocratic class.
But however the languages came to be planted in the Isles, the absence of an infusion of “Celtic” genetic markers makes clear that there was no mass displacement of the old stock by a “race” of invaders. The Celtic “invasion” was rural and linguistic, not genetic. There was and is no “Celtic race.”
Thank you for all the info!!!
