  1. Exactly what is it you want? More Money?, you have had your apologies. The Catholic Church was the real source of your problems, maybe the Pope with all the money and property they own can compensate you. Let me give you a little History of the indigenous Celtic Peoples of Ancient Great Britain The Britons, also known as Celtic Britons or Ancient Britons, were the indigenous Celtic people who inhabited Great Britain from at least the British Iron Age into the Middle Ages, at which point they diverged into the Welsh, Cornish and Bretons (among others). They spoke the Common Brittonic language, the ancestor of the modern Brittonic languages The earliest written evidence for the Britons is from Greco-Roman writers and dates to the Iron Age. Celtic Britain was made up of many tribes and kingdoms, associated with various hillforts. The Britons followed an Ancient Celtic religion overseen by Druids. The Roman Empire conquered most of Britain in the 1st century, creating the province of Britannia. It is probable that the Britons and Caledonians in the north remained unconquered and Hadrian’s Wall became the edge of the Roman Empire. Germanic influence coincided with lands linked to tribes from the Celtic-Germanic borderlands in Belgica and the extent to which this cultural change was accompanied by wholesale population changes. During this time, some Britons migrated to mainland Europe and established significant colonies in Brittany (now part of France), the Channel Islands, and Britonia (now part of Galicia, Spain). The earliest known reference to the inhabitants of Britain seems to come from 4th-century BC records of the voyage of Pytheas, a Greek geographer who made a voyage of exploration around the British Isles between 330 and 320 BC The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, which was originally compiled by the orders of King Alfred the Great in approximately 890, and subsequently maintained and added to by generations of anonymous scribes until the middle of the 12th century, starts with this sentence: “The island Britain is 800 miles long, and 200 miles broad, and there are in the island five nations: English, Welsh (or British, including the Cornish), Scottish, Pictish, and Latin. The Channel Islands (colonized by Britons in the 5th century) came under attack from Norse and Danish Viking attack in the early 9th century AD, and by the end of that century had been conquered by Viking invaders. Wales remained free from Anglo-Saxon, Gaelic Scots and Viking control, and was divided among varying Brittonic kingdoms, the foremost. Eventually the Britons became great explorer’s themselves, and colonized many parts of the world, it’s called history, Can the Native North Americans match what the Britons achieved.
