The Celtic History Channel
США
Добавлен 22 дек 2020
I'm by no means a historian or scholar of any sort, but I am passionate about Celtic history, legends, mythology, folklore and culture.
There is a rich tapestry of history across all of the different cultures around the world, but Celtic history is my focus for a number of reasons. For me, it's learning about and watching how Celtic culture unfolded and branched off into different regions with their own customs, languages, stories, and traditions. It's about independence and power struggles, the stories of people, and legends passed down through generations. It's also about how the influences of Celtic culture shaped so many other things around the world.
My goal is to create content on myths and histories of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Isle of Man, Cornwall, and Brittany. I hope you enjoy the channel, learn something, and maybe even laugh a bit!

🏴 The Tale of the Scottish Thistle 🏴 #vikings #history #scotland
More than two hundred different types of thistles exist, and several different varieties are found in Scotland - anything from the milk thistle to the cotton thistle, but what makes this plant so endearing to Scottish culture and even having an Order around it?
Discover in about 3 minutes how the thistle became a symbol of Scotland, what the Vikings had to do with it, why it was adopted as the national emblem, and how and why the Order of the Thistle originated and evolved over time.

A Brief History of Balmoral Castle in the Scottish Highlands
He's my 10th great uncle
I would have loved to have set eyes on my native land back then in all its natural and formidable beauty. When I make my own videos for my channel I always visualise with that in mind.
Thanks for this 🏴
Douglas was referred to mainly as Sir James of Douglas or Lord of Douglas. The poet John Barbour would refer to him as the "good Sir James' or the "good lord of Douglas" but it was not a title or nickname. Barbour refers to his dark hair. In the Middle Ages devils were often depicted as black (from the fires of Hell). It is likely the supposed nickname "Black Douglas" came from these two elements. No black armour recorded.
In other words, Christianity appropriated Samhain.
Hush ye, hush ye, do not fret ye, the Black Douglas will not get ye!
I dont know if im related, but im an O'Neill. And my family is also O'hanlon
Aughrim the main battle of the three Kings 10 thousand Irish footsoldiers died in defence of their homeland and way of life the battle close run affair in the beginning French General decided on immediate battle against Williamites killed by cannonball early in battle interpetive center commerates the engagement .After Siege of Limerick many Irish soldiers left their homeland leaving a defenceless population majority Catholic ushering Penal Laws to join the French Army/ Wild Geese!
He looks so preciously sad.
Interesting video, although the miss use of miss understanding of the word Catholic is the man disappointing fact in this video. The word Catholic means universal and does not and can not only mean the church of rome members. Any religionor faith made up of different people with different skins colours, different language, from different country's are ALL Catholic. Islam, Judaism, orthodox, church of rome and protestant are in fact Catholic.
A nicely generalised summary of events.
Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching!

Saint PATRICK. ORA PRO NOBIS !👍💪🙏⛪
The snakes refers to the pagans
"Pagan" is a term given by sand Arab religions to the myriad religious they tried to wipe out
What you failed to say was that St. Patrick was Romano British.
What you failed to say is that the story of St patrick is believed my many academics to be an amalgam of several historical early evangelical christians. Where "he" came from is anyone's guess ...
Aswell,in Ireland they have BIG parades for it.
Thank you
Happy saint patricks day!
The so called snakes were actually demons, and child sacrificing pagans.
He drove pagans out of Ireland.
Great point - I should have clarified that metaphorically the snakes represented the Pagans in Ireland as opposed to the literal route. Appreciate the comment!
Jealous
He was a religious zealot who instigated his own belief system over the native one
VERY VERY AWESOME
It didn’t end well for a lot of kings named James.
cool
Thank you
I'm hoping to get 'the rest of the story' sometime.
Nah... when I think of Scotland, I think of 'Still Game' 😂
Haha. That's more like it.
Very decent video, well presented and accurate following the gentleman above’s addition , great job just subscribed 👍
Thanks very much, and thank you for the feedback!
My 13th great grandfather. Proud to be a descendant
reasonable account of the battle but one error. William did not lead the crossing at Rosnaree, it was the son of the Duke of Schomburg who led this. When finally brushing aside the holding Jacobite force he found his troops stuck on the wrong side of a steep and boggy valley facing the experienced French troops, which had been diverted to to face what James had thought was the main Williamite attack, and they then spent the rest of the battle just looking at each other.
Thanks for pointing this out; this was my error when writing out the script relative to the crossing near Rosnaree. Appreciate the feedback.
For a channel about Celtic History, I'm puzzled to why there was no talk about their presence in Iberia such as the Hispano Celts.
Thanks for the feedback. This was the first longer form video that I created and I focused mainly on the Hallstatt period, but you're absolutely correct. There was a Celtic presence in the peninsula, as well as other areas and that's equally a story worth telling. It's on the backlog and once research is completed, I plan to add it to the channel. Thanks again for reaching out!
Connor MacGregors Great great great Father???
Were Celts a people as such? Celt is a Greek word that all known peoples north of the Alps were labelled with. But, interesting little vid all the same. I didnt know that about the Oak King...😁
da heck
Mary House of Stuart then her son James becomes King of Scotland and England and parts of France ❤
This was the 2nd invasion of Ireland by the Scots the 1st invasion of todays Ireland was the Picts from Caledonia (todays Scotland) they invaded upto the 3rd century they left some stragglers these guys becomes the Scotii (Scots) ❤
Halloween bonfires are recorded in Scotland (either side of the Highland Line), parts of Wales, and the Isle of Man. They have not been noted in the 'Celtic' areas of England - Cornwall and Cumbria. And surprisingly they are not an historical tradition in Ireland - the 19th century folklore collections make no mention of them. However, there are two areas where bonefires do occur in Ireland and they are in the Protestant North (in areas of Scottish settlement) and in Dublin (but only from the mid-20th century). Both clearly having modern origins. So, there was clearly no single 'Celtic' Halloween / Samhain fire tradition.
If the the purpose of adopting the 1st November as the Feast of All Saints in 835 was to co-opt the Celtic festival of Samhain why was it that prior to that date the Irish Church celebrated All Saints Day on 20th April? Clearly the Irish church felt no threat from Samhain - Ireland having been Christian for several centuries. And by 835 any thoughts of Samhain being a religious festival would have been long gone - all that remained would be folk customs and superstitions. And the 1st November was first adopted by the English and German Churches in neither region of which was Samhain ever celebrated. So, they clearly had no ulterior motives in choosing that date - the dark November northern days simply suited the sombre nature of the festival rather than the bright days of May as practiced in Rome.
Are you saying Samhain is a Christian tradition and not a pagan one??
Thanks for watching - this is not what I was trying to infer and apologize if I wasn't clear and it came across like that. The purpose of the video was really to point out that there were many influences, traditions and customs, some Pagan, some Christian, and some folklore, that helped lead to the modern day Halloween. Samhain was not a Christian tradition.
