The People that compromised Dal Riata were the Scoti Clans, who x amount of their Ancestors portrayed in the Declaration of Arbraoth (like all Ross' of Scottish Origins Ancestor the Chief of the Great Clan Ross the Earl of Ross was 4th to Seal) that we are Sycthian and had 113 (130?) Scoti Kings of an unbroken line and leaving off with stopping there and Simply Citing the Story of our People basically for more. The Scoti Clans invaded that tip of Northern Ireland, coming from Spain which they migrated too x amount before, and than from there to their holdings in the North Western Low Lands and South Western Highlands, eventually with the Picts crushed between them and the Vikings and with the Scoti Clans absorbing the Picts, and finally subduing to intergrating the Vikings by the time of the once War Master of Scotland, Chief of Clan Arias (Anrias/ soon to be the Great Clan Ross), Husband to the Queen of Mann, Cousin to the Laird of the Isle and King Malcom, the 1st Earl of Ross Fearchar, the Son of the Priest, who as War Master (Thane) and his personal Army and Personal Armada, and his Cousin the Kings Troops took out the Viking Lairds in and around Scotland taking their lands and gold, expanding Ross-shire the Earldom of Ross and making who would be known as the Ross' the most richest and power Family in the Highlands for Generations. We are not Irish because you so Fancy it, and you will not over turn the History of the Scoti for Irish Vanity and a long standing Grudge!

Let me clearly explain something, Kings on Average have more kids surviving to adulthood than Septs, Commoners to the Conquered and the whole bit, same with the offspring of Kings and their offspring, so when in the Declaration of Arbraoth the Scoti Leaders are telling you we had 113 Kings, that's allot of people in the end, why you have Clan MacGregor Moto as Royal is my Race, because they are all the Descendants of Kings, and since there was 113 of them, and all there kids have kids, and so forth, it becomes a fair amount of people and the Hierarchy of the Orginal Invading Scoti Clans. So when all those Earls (like the Earl of Ross my and other Ross' of Scottish Origins Ancestor because the 1st Official Ross was the Chief of the Great Clan Ross The 4th Earl of Ross Hugh Ross 1st to take on the Surname once protected by law) and Barron's signed the Declaration of Arbraoth, all those of Scoti Origins, were basically also saying without saying those our are Ancestor, and when it says we crossed the Red Sea with Moses, you know what I'm not going to tell you everyone in the Scoti Clans did that because we adopted generics from Ireland as well I assume all the places before, but we should know the Bloodline of the Sycthian Kings did, who the Declaration of Arbraoth is saying are the Scoti Kings (less than 20 years a Kingship to the Beginning of Sycthia) or are an offshoot from which one would assume starts count if that was the case at the Sycthian Prince that Married Egyptian Princess Scotia. And since the people on top back in the day had higher Population Growth than people on the bottom, a far amount of people orginating from the Scoti Clans litteraly crossed the Red Sea with Moses or come from the exact Kings in Question. And see there was a cited of Scythia in Israel or Judea that was Destroyed, selectively by the some other empire, I forget which, and right after that the Sycthian Empire was formed, from Royal Sycthia to the Pacific! And you are not going to tell a bunch of Ancient Egyptians who became the Scythian Kings who became the Scoti Kings who make up a fair enough portion of the part of the Scottish Population that were the Orginal Scoti Clans, that we are Irish in Origin, as you erase our History directly told in one of the most pivotal Historical Documents!

This also makes it almost impossible to tell Normans from Danish Vikings from Anglo Saxons genetically. More advanced DNA techniques might show differences, for example the North French, likely Frankish, admixtures to the originally Danish Viking Normans. I also understand the Danes (so Danish Vikings) are not quite genetically identical to the Jutes and Angles they substantially displaced from the Danish Peninsula. One theory is the Jutes invaded Kent not from Jutland, but from the Frankish Coast opposite Kent, where they had been staying after being pressured out of Jutland by Danes from further east. Any thoughts, Danish friends?

The English part comes from a part of the East Midlands that is, for some unknown reason, 92% of Celtic origin- very few Anglo Saxons. I’m not surprised by the findings though as I can trace my ancestry back to 1230 , generation by generation with full names and dates of birth, marriage and death thanks to church records and the happy fact that they mostly lived and died within a small area. From the early modern period onwards,a few men from each generation emigrated to the New World and I have a large number of fairly distant cousins in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the US.

You’ve pointed out an increasingly common but unfortunate misunderstanding of the term “indigenous”. It doesn’t simply mean people who can traced back their ancestry to a particular place. Anyone can do that. “Indigenous” is used correctly in the context of colonization. As in the indigenous people of the Americas, Australia or Palestine. People with a long history in a place and a distinct culture who were subject to the invasion and colonization by a different, more powerful people, and are still struggling as a result of this colonialism. In other words, the First Nations people of Canada are indigenous. Ireland was colonized, and so the Irish at the time of the Plantation period can be referred to as indigenous. “Indigenous British”? No.

The Welsh are Britain’s most ancient people on the island! Many Welsh remain genetically distinct from English and Scottish people, with a genetic mutation present from the last Ice Age, 10,000 years ago. This mutation is the same as those hunter-gatherers who left Spain and France and travelled over to Britain when things got extremely chilly. Whilst most English people are more genetically similar to the Danish and the Germans, due to historical relations the Welsh managed to use their geographical position in the far west (after Anglo Saxon colonisation) to avoid as much intermarriage and mixing with Danes, Germans / Anglo Saxons. This has largely continued to this day due to continuous oppression of the Welsh language and culture. The early settlers of Wales are believed to be descendants of the Beaker culture, mixed with immigrants coming from what is now Ireland and the Basque country in Northern Spain. The Romans didn’t have too great an effect on Wales, so when the Romans left, the Welsh and Cornish continued to speak the native language of Brittonic over the entire island. The version of Brittonic spoken in Wales was developed and recorded into Old Welsh and forms the foundations of what is now the Welsh language. The term “Welsh” was given to the people living in these lands by the Anglo-Saxon settlers, meaning “foreigners” further proving their pre-existing unique identity and culture. The Welsh however have always called them selves the “Cymry” and the land (island of Britain pre colonisation) “Cymru”.

Sven - albeit being baptised early in his life had a lot of sympathy for pagans, he never had the approval of English nobles, however, Cnut did. Cnut's popularity in England could be directly attributed to the love he had for the English nation and culture, not only did he learn to speak English, but he was also seemingly influenced by the culture, especially of England's literary tradition which was reflected in Denmark and Norway with the rise of literature and writing as a common practice (but not in Sweden yet, since they had little connections with England, and other Western European countries with proper literary tradition) The majority of Cnut's time as a King was spent in England, and the christianisation of Norway and Denmark accelerated under him. He barely brought settlers from Denmark, allegedly fearing yet another massacre. The domsday book doesn't have records of Anglo-Scandinavian communities that far down south, in the North, however, there was a rebellious Anglo-Scandinavian community that likely got wiped out during the harrying of the North. If there's anything that's overexaggerated, it's the degree of Scandinavian admixture that people think is common amongst the English. It's very rare, and the tiny minority that carries it have a rather recent Scandinavian ancestor (it wasn't rare at all for European intellectuals to migrate to England, German Kingdoms/Germany and France between the 18th and 20th centuries) it's extremely extremely extremely rare for minority admixtures from 40 generations ago to be strongly persistent to this day, nearly 1200 years later, and account for 5-6% of an individuals ancestry.

@@kaikwa4160 Sites of massacres? Collocation is not causation, as they say. How are the bodies buried? In graves? Just bunged in? The dead of St Clements would usually be buried in that parish, just east of the Cherwell, at the foot of Headington Hill. Any signs of trauma injuries? Otherwise it sounds like a cemetery. There were other massacres, such as the anti student riots that closed the university for twenty years. Plague could equally be a cause.

"American" here of English and Swedish ancestry. My English side is from Essex and East Anglia respectively. We were actually right smack on the Danelaw at one time. Literally living on the border. My family held minor nobility until the Norman conquest. My aunt got her DNA done (Father's twin sister) and she had 41% Anglo-Saxon dna and 15% "Old Danish" whatever that means. Which lines up perfectly with family lore as to where in England we lived and when. I find that fascinating.

Many of the later peoples who came to England were already racial mixed. The Normans were a mixture of Viking and local French people. The Norman invaders took with them many Breton horsemen with and consequently added a small imput of Celtic DNA to England in the 11th century. Later people known as Flemings immigrated to Britain from parts of Netherlands. These people spread through parts of England, Wales and Ireland, they lost their indentity but would have added their DNA which would have been similar the earlier Saxon people.

Even William the Duke of Normandy himself didn't bother to take up residence for any length of time. He returned to Northern France where he continues to live most of his life & he eventually died there. Over time some English people would have acquired Norman surnames because they were vassals of Norman housholds but they were not of Norman descent themsleves. In addition history only records the names of 21 Norman noblemen who accompanied William at Hastings. The names of those in the rest of his army are unknown and are lost to time.

To make an accurate account of this you would have to analyse DNA from before the agricultural workforce collapse 150 years ago. The UK's DNA would be distorted with the millions of Irish who came over in the last two centuries, or Welsh and Scottish people moving into London for example. You should only test DNA from those who know that all of their great grandparents were born in their county. Then a map showing DNA of distinct places such as Cornwall or Northumbria would be accurate and fascinating.

Slightly semantics but "Anglo-saxon" ancestry would include both the Germanic and Celtic ancestral components, because the people who came on the boats weren't Anglo-Saxons yet, but that Ethnic group would form a couple hundred years later on once they'd taken on some ancestry from the Brythonnic Celts. So If you're 60% Celtic and 40% Germanic, you'd actually be ~100% Anglo-Saxon.

The POBI project was very useful but it has largely been superseded by ancient DNA findings made in the last few years. Therefore the only major point of difference I would make is about the Welsh .They definitely don't resemble ancient British hunter gatherers genetically more than any other Brit. That was speculation on the part of the POBI , before we fully understood the enormous genetic impact farmers and then steppe folk had on the Isles. They , like other Britons , are a mix of hunter gatherer , neolithic farmer and steppe people. They are much like the Irish and Scots in that they more closely resemble British Bronze and Iron Age people than the English who have a lot more Germanic ancestry, although the amount varies across regions .As for the Celts , well that seems to be more of an elite migration . I would definitely urge you to check out the new paper on Anglo-Saxon DNA and migration which is very interesting.

One thing the map does not do is seperate the English / British DNA in eastern lowland Britain. But since that part of England is 10-40% germanic, 60-90% of that genetic story is either not told by the map, or there has been such total integration between ancestral populations there that it is no longer possible to separate them. The Danes who lived in central England may have had Western Germanic DNA from Jutland, as modern Danish DNA may originate like the original Danes themselves from further East.

Probably more so from the Danish/German angles who settled in that area as part of the Anglo-Saxon invasions, with the Saxon half of the Anglo-Saxon’s been more influential in Southern England. The Jutes settled in Kent and the Isle of Wight. That being said, although the Viking impact might not have been that great genetically, I think most researchers still understate it even though it was more significant (in England) than that of groups such as the Romans and Normans. I think I read somewhere once But I think I read somewhere once that researchers can’t actually seperate the Angle DNA from Danish coming because the two are so similar. All that being said, yes, Denmark did have a significant impact genetically on that area of England (My great grand father came from Derby and I score between 10-20% Scandinavian with all the main DNA testing companies, although haven’t done 23 and me, despite having no known Scandinavian ancestry)

I came across this a few days ago - A Briton, one of a people inhabiting Britain before the Anglo-Saxon invasions beginning in the 5th century AD. Although it was once thought that the Britons descended from the Celts, it is now believed that they were the indigenous population and that they remained in contact with their European neighbours through trade and other social exchanges.

A lot of the beliefs that the Britons were Celtic comes from graves that contained Celtic jewellery and the like. Before DNA testing people were led to believe this ment the Britons were Celtic. But like you said DNA technology seems to indicate they were not. They just liked Celtic jewellery lol

Irish are not Celtic either for the same reasons. Earliest reference to the Irish as Celts was 18th century linguists seeking to group the non-English languages of Britain and Ireland, which are one family. They imported designs and metal working techniques from the continent in the same way we Irish of today have jeans from the US or a phone from China. There are however noteworthy genetic ties with Europeans up and down the Atlantic seaboard, which makes sense.

It’s nice for someone to come out with some actual historical facts and as you correctly say we’re that intermingled through various migration no mater if it’s war,trade,migration or any other reasons .Just for fun some years ago the BBC did a program about a skeleton they had found in Wookey Hole in Somerset and they did dna tests on the children from the local school but needed one more to make up their numbers and so a school teacher volunteered and it turned out to be a match for the person who died all those millennia ago and the best example I can think of is Edinburgh for years it was fought over by both Scotland and England and then it was decided that we should share it with each country taking a turn to govern it but to prove your point that the peoples would marry and have children and in turn their genetic ancestry would mix to also include their various ancestor’s from over the generations,as for myself I was left a medal and while checking it in the library I found an antique book on surnames and found that the good bit was that we were one of the oldest names in the English language but the bad bit is that we were deported from Dorset during or prior to the 10th century but it did not say where to or what for ,so lord only knows what my ancestory is (lol) but thank you again for an honest none biased view of our peoples history

Ireland is not a British Isle/lsland. It is 2023 explain how Ireland can still be called a British Island. It's an absurd outdated and Possesive term that is insulting to the Majority of Irish citizens living in Ireland.

this video remembers me the theory of B.Sykes that according to his genetic map no substantial DNA and archeological trace of Celtic, Anglo saxon in big proportion to deduce of an invasion of both groups to England,, only a bunch of them and was better a cultural invasion of members of the elite, Normans and Scandinavians played a minor role in the demography according to Sykes, who''s right?

I just love statistics of the 90s Survey conducted and published by Oxford University, of the entire British Isles from Shetland to the Channel Islands. England, a so-called Anglo Saxon country came out 64% Celt/Briton and 22% Anglo Saxon. Which makes Anglo Saxon an Ethnic Minority!!! 😂
