4.9/5 (14239 ratings)

Description:When the Romans came north to what is now Scotland they encountered the warrior society known as the Picts, who managed to prevent the Roman Army from conquering the northern part of Britain, just as they later repulsed the Angles and the Vikings. A New History of the Picts is an accessible history of the Picts, who are often misunderstood. New historical analysis, recently discovered evidence and an innovative Scottish perspective exposes long-held assumptions about the native people.This controversial text argues that Scottish history has long been dominated and distorted by misleading perspectives. A New History of the Picts discredits the idea that the Picts were a strange historical anomaly and shows them to be the descendants of the original inhabitants of the land, living in a series of loose tribal confederations gradually brought together by external forces to create one of the earliest states in Europe: a people, who after repulsing all invaders, merged with their cousins, the Scots of Argyll, to create modern Scotland. All of Scotland descends from the Picts.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
