By the time of the Norman Conquest, they were culturally Germanic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCzarsHussar Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 The majority of Britons weren't even Romanized. Large scale urbanization never took root in Roman Briton. Hilariously the biggest reason was the romanized aristocracy kept getting purged Without wealthy families funding cities and projects it all began to fall apart by the time the legions were (at the time it was meant to be temporarily) recalled back to defend Gaul. The vast majority of the population were the plain ol ignorant ass Celts they had always been, only difference was access to a large trading market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCzarsHussar Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Hibernia and the Pictish Highlands had to have been the most unholy cursed places in the planet to the Romans.

TheCzarsHussar Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Also ironically, due to centuries of warring, trading and serving with the Romans, the western Germanic peoples weren't quite as culturally primitive as the Romans made them out to be. I'd still argue that La Tené B era Gallic peoples were even more sophisticated, but the western Germanic kingdoms definitely had their time to shine as Western Rome collapsed...due to said peoples 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand, that's been concentrated in the U.K. I remember there being tension when I visited two years ago (my family talked their ear off about it), but things are still very peaceful.

From what I’ve seen, it’s so bad lately that historically rivaled Northern and Southern Ireland coalitions are marching together in protest. Although I imagine it’s mostly concentrated in specific areas. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
