The Celts of Great Britain are an enigmatic group, whose Celtic language and Celtic culture have fascinated many people for centuries, both within England, Scotland, and Wales, and in the outside world. The history of these Celtic tribes is often left unsaid, but this video aims to change that. Here I will show a brief overview of the Britons and their Brythonic tribes in the north of Great Britain, tying them into English history, Scottish history, and even showing their connections to the history of Wales. The tribes being discussed in this video include, in England: the Brigantes, with their queen Cartimandua, king Venutius, and king Vellocatus, the Gaul-connected Parisii, the Gabrantovices and Sentantii, the Carvetii of Northern England, and the barely-mentioned Lopocares, Tectoverdi, and Corionototae. In Scotland, the Celtic tribes include the wealthy, Roman-favoured Votadini (later Gododdin of Welsh poetry), the rebellious Selgovae, and the less-mentioned Novantae and Damnonii in the south-west. While to the north, in Caledonia, they will include the Epidii, Creones, Carnonacae, Caerenii, Cornavii, Lugi, Smertae, Decantae, Vacomagi, Taezali, Venicones, and finally the Caledonii.
