What the fuck was their problem?
wouldnt trust this
who even were were britons at that time ?
i mean it was before:
>normans
>gemans(saxons)
>roman major influence
what is even left besides a spooky island?
t.coping brit
Celtic tribes speaking a P Celtic language like the Gauls. Many of them shared kinship and other ties with Gallic tribes across the channel, right up to the Roman invasion
soul
Romans called them britunculi which meant something like 'miserable little britons'
Hue
welsh people.
the English say they aren't welsh but that is just cope for exterminating them.
we have songs from the 7th century that came from the east of England talking about them being welsh
lads from Cornwall
>britunculi
Brittunculi, with two T
>Right up to the Roman invasion.
And for many years later. Its not a coincidence the "gallic empire" that existed during the crisis of the 3rd century consisted of gaul and britannia. Even when the romans evacuated the island and the saxons started invading some of the celts fled into modern day britanny to escape.
Bongmonculi! You foking bongmonculus, you! lel
Though seriously, Romans liked to spin bullshit about people they fought with for propaganda reasons.
the romans said a lot of shit, doesn't mean it's real
they had genuine admiration for "savages" like germanics and britons, just like today we have documentaries where the indigenous tribes of Amazonia are praised for their resourcefulness and adaptability in a harsh environment
have they ever changed?
swampnigqer cope
Very interested in that swamp bit
England was a giant swamp in late antiquity/early middle ages
sod off nonce
the romans also said the britons had the same language as the ancient estonians, do you believe them about that too?
Well, parts of it were.
At the end of the day the Britons numbered in the hundreds of thousands at least, so it's obviously not believable that they didn't till fields and grow crops, and they didn't solely live off hunting swamp animals
not exactly accurate, but lots of areas would have been more boggy than they are today,

read this book at the start of the year, very interesting but takes a while to warm up to the writing style
Honestly, considering how autistic medieval authors were, this is like poetry to my ears now. Like you just wanna read a history of the Franks but the nigga keeps pontificating about circumcision, baka baka
From the same quote
>for all emergencies they prepare a certain kind of food, the eating of a small
portion of which, the size of a bean, prevents them from feeling either hunger or thirst
wtf, do brits really go swim in the swamps when they are hungry?
the eastern english are the truest english
if it is not latin, you are not reading medieval history
I'm pretty new to reading first hand accounts so it was an adjustment to me
swamps are suprisingly warm in the winter and you can catch ducks/rats/squirrels/newts/frogs/bugs really easily
I'm working on it, I swear ;-;
History major?
