Celts were people of the Iron Age of medieval times. The exact locations of where the Celts were hard to find at the time. They were a cult that had different spots throughout the country. The Celtic language was not known very well through a wide spread. The language was difficult and only spoken with the other cult members. Later on the Celts were invaded and they lost the place they lived in and those who they loved. The cities and people they lost was in high numbers. Even though the Celts were a tribe, they didn't really care for battle. Although, they still fought. Celts were mainly spread through the Asia and Europe. The main land for them was in those two countries. The Celts made a wagon for transportation, goods, food, and a bunch

This island was populated for about 9,000 years ago. This tribe was considered to be a Celtic culture because insular Celtic culture diversified to Irish, Scottish and Manx. During the Iron Age, the Celtics lived around most of Europe, and even before Julius Caesar occupied most part of it.

The most significant ways in which the legal status of the inhabitants of Lorris differed from that of the medieval serfs was that the inhabitants of Lorris were treated with more respect than the medieval serfs. The inhabitants of Lorris were given more privileges with being except from paying taxes and owing their property. They had more advantages when it come growing their business and traveling without paying any tolls along their way. They were able to profit from their own crops and were allow to “…made to pay measurage fee on the grain which he has raised by his own labor”. On the other hand the medieval serfs did not benefit from any of this legal status.
Learning About Celts Through Roman Authors The Celts left very little written documentation behind them. What is known about the Celts has been discovered through archaeology and through the writings of Roman authors such as Caesar, Strabo and Tacitus. Caesar wrote about the Celts in his Gallic Wars as he documented his arrivals in Britain in 55 and 55 BC. Strabo was a Roman geographer, and included his knowledge of the geography of Britain in his texts, and Tacitus in his "Agricola", his histories and his annals also wrote of his knowledge of the Celts.
The Anglo Saxon people provide much of modern day western culture. They birthed old english which grew to modern english, one of the most commonly spoken languages in the world today. They heavily influenced modern literature with their tales of heroes fighting magical creatures for honour and glory as is portrayed in fantasy such as Lord of the Rings and Forgotten Realms. A warlike and aggressive people who inhabited the island nation of Britain post 400 A.D., they were a mix of German, Danish, and Dutch peoples who migrated to the island after the evacuation of the Romans, avoiding flooding and other hardships in their own nations. Although the nation already had an indigenous people, without the Romans to protect them, the Celts could
Celts, Iberians, and Basques originally lived in Spain. In 206 B.C. Spain was conquered by Scipio Africanus, and subsequently became a part of the Roman Empire. Until 711 B.C. when they were overthrown by the Muslims under Tariq.
The Celts were envied by other cultures due to their brilliance in battle. The Celts proficient weapon and armoury craftsmanship combined with their advanced military tactics enabled them to be such successful warriors. The Romans regarded the Celts as brave and able warriors. This was one of the reasons the Celts were able to expand their territory over the majority of Western Europe. The Celts fighting ability was particularly evident than in the Gallic Wars.
The heritage of Celtic people is filled with many mysteries and undetailed information as to who the Celts really were. The vast majority of the known Celtic history is from the perspective of Roman and Greek writers. They were the sworn enemies of the Celts, and feared their brutal war-tactics. Since the Celts did not write, all that is known about them is though the perspective of these writers. Many of the writers did not focus on the less violent portions of the Celtic heritage such as the religious views and tribal customs. Instead, all of the focus fell on their military reputation because of their pure passion for war and fighting. The Celts military reputation created a false perception of a brutal culture and society, forcing civilizations,
Castles in the medieval time period were more than just a home, but rather a safe haven for the whole town. The first castles were built in the tenth century in Western Europe. Castles played a crucial role in European history. However, by the end of the thirteenth century they had lost their military, political, and social significance and were being abandoned. Castles in the medieval and Anglo Saxon times, especially in European area, were built entirely for proper function towards protection from the outside world.
My earlier investigations ported between Biblical Spirituality, Celtic Spirituality, and City Spirituality. My M. Div. mini-thesis investigated the spirituality of the insular Celts (du Toit, 2007). Two Celtic sniglets for liminalities was thin places and thin space. Thin, for the island Celts, designated liminality. Thin spaces, like beaches and mountaintops, and thin times, such as dawn and dusk, thinned the veil drawn between the natural and supernatural. Such insular Celtic ideas parallel various Psalms which focus on waking and sleeping as liminal notions.
The Medieval times were not about the knight in shining armor slaying a dragon and rescuing the princess, instead it’s about how Christianity was spread throughout the Roman Empire during the 1st- 4th centuries, or how the Black Death spread across Europe around the 13th century and killed over half the population. Don’t you worry; I’ll go into details about the Black Death later. Now that you know a little bit about the medieval times, I think it is time to introduce myself.
The Germanic people are often portrayed as the barbarians of Europe during the Middle Ages. This perception comes
The Celtic people were people of the pre- medieval Europe. The Celtic people lived in an area that surrounded Ireland, the UK, and in northern France. The Celtics would divide the year into two seasons. They would divide them into the light season (summer) and the dark season (winter). With winter’s dark and shorter days the Celtics would often think that winter was the time of death. The Celtics believed that the land of the dead could cross the world to visit souls. The Celtics would wear masks to trick ghosts so that the ghosts wouldn’t confuse the Celtics with a spirit of the dead.
