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.

The snakes refers to the pagans

What you failed to say was that St. Patrick was Romano British.

Aswell,in Ireland they have BIG parades for it.

The so called snakes were actually demons, and child sacrificing pagans.

He drove pagans out of Ireland.

I'm hoping to get 'the rest of the story' sometime.

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.

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.

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...😁

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??
