My people, the Celts of England and Wales, were a warrior culture 2,000 years ago. We controlled all of Great Britain. We loved to go to war and had shields, spears, and above all swords.
The damn Romans came across the Channel in about the year 43 AD and they just mopped us up. We had the courage and the weapons but the Romans had the organization. The Romans took all of England and only stopped at the Scottish border.
