Who Won the Battle of Bannockburn? And What Did they Win?
Calanon - I knew you'd clarify this! That substantial British land north of the wall is what I was remembering. Though I thought it was Pictish.
Then again, I tend to think of the Picts as being pretty much Brythonic with a new label stuck on ...

Child Location Devices: They Come In Many Sizes and Prices
They sound really helpful. I agree, missing a child is a parent's worst nightmare. When we go to crowded places, I am actually very worried about my four year old. I am not sure if these are available where I live now.

Who Won the Battle of Bannockburn? And What Did they Win?
Good points, Calanon! I question whether the definitions of Pict was as clear as we would like to think. Certainly there were Britons North of the wall, else Cumbric would not have been spoken there. But the distinction between Pictish and ...

Who Won the Battle of Bannockburn? And What Did they Win?
I don't want to get too into this just yet as I'm going to start studying pre-Roman Britain and Roman Britain in September, however with Hadrian's Wall from all the maps I can find Hadrian's Wall was not built through the centre of Pictland as ...

Timeline of the Arthurian Legends through the Middle Ages 410-600

Laser Hair Removal; Does It Work, Is It Safe?
I've had my bikini line lasered. I went to a Harley Street clinic in London where I was assessed by a qualified nurse. Thereafter, all my treatments were administered by a beautician. All I'm going to say is that it worked out cheaper than ...

Who Won the Battle of Bannockburn? And What Did they Win?
How far is Scotland a Celtic state? The people of the North descend from Picts, who were ancient Britons; Irish settlers, who dominated the Picts to found the kingdom of Scotland; and Norse. In the south there were Britons and Angles. Let us ...

Timeline of the Arthurian Legends through the Middle Ages 410-600
The Vatican library and archives go back centuries, and have been kept carefully. However, I cannot vouch for the condition of the older ones. Whether older ones have crumbled depends upon whether they are parchment or vellum. I am pretty ...
