RE: The Legend of the Iceni Queen

in #history7 years ago

As what always happened with the Celts/Scots/Irish, their inter-clan feuds prevented them from keeping the island. The Romans could not advance any further north than what is the border of Scotland today. If the tribes/clans had worked together at the initial invasion, they could have fought back the Romans, the Anglos and the Saxons.

But, I guess it was for the better in the long run to be melded with those and the Germanic tribes.

Thanks for the info. You know your stuff. Didn't the Queen Victoria come from the Germanic linage?🐓

That's the complaint.
Victoria's Mother and Paternal Grandmother were both of German lines. And her grandfather, George III was of a German line as well.

Yup, us Brits have a proud history of generally fighting amongst ourselves when we're not being invaded!

I love history, my roots are British and Scot Irish. So many fascinating events took place in your neck of the woods. Thanks for coming by🐓
