    CHAPTER I
    INTRODUCTION

    1.1 Background of the paper

    The British Isles have witnessed intermittent periods of competition and


    cooperation between the people that occupy the various parts of Great Britain, the
    Isle of Man, Ireland, the Bailiwick of Guernsey, the Bailiwick of Jersey and the
    smaller adjacent islands. The United Kingdom comprises England, Northern
    Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, each country having its own history, with all but
    Northern Ireland having been independent states at one point. The history of the
    formation of the United Kingdom is very complex. So, I would like to give you
    further information about The Celtic Kingdoms which is also a part of historical
    Britain.

    1.2 Purpose of the paper

    Knowing further informations about The Celtic Kingdoms in Britain.

    1.3 Problem formulation

    What informations can be served about The Celtic Kingdoms?

    CHAPTER II

    THEORY AND DISCUSSION

    The Celtic Kingdoms

    2.1 Wales

    By the 18th century, the Celts were driven into the Welsh because they were
    kept out of England by Offa’s Dyke, the huge wall that was built in AD 779.
    Who were the Celts? The Celts were a group of people loosely tied by similar
    language, religion, and cultural expression. In that time, the population
    remained small and they were poor so what could they do were keeping
    animals. Not only poor, but also they lacked of behavior so slavery was
    common there.
    Their society was based on family grouping which every group owned one
    or more settlements. Also they had a strong leader who had been a tribal chief
    later to manage his group over neighbouring family groups.
    In 1043 the king of Glamorgan died of old age because of the unusual event
    that killed Welsh rulers no less than 35 by a cymry, a fellow countryman. In
    1039 that was a king strong enough to rule all of the land but like many other
    Welsh rulers, Gruffydd was killed by a cymry while defending' Wales against
    the Saxons.

    2.2 Ireland

    Ireland was never invaded by either the Romans or the Anglo-Saxons. It was
    a land of monasteries and had a flourishing Celtic culture. As in Wales, people
    were known by the family grouping they belonged to and the kings in this
    tribal society were chosen by election.
    Five kingdoms grew up in Ireland: Ulster in the north, Munsrer in the
    sourhwest, Leinster in the southeast, Connaught in the west, with Tara as the
    seat of the high kings of Ireland.
    Christianity came to Ireland in about A D 430 and it was the beginning of
    Ireland’s history because there were people could write down events. This
    period is often called Ireland's "golden age". Invaders were unknown and
    culture flowered.
    This golden age period ended as the Viking came and stole all that
    monasteries had, but besides that they brought fresh economic and political

    4
    action into Irish life. Also Dublin, Ireland 's future capital, was founded by the
    Vikings.
    From 1002 to 1014, Ireland was ruled by Brian Boru and he is still looked
    back on as Ireland's greatest ruler. But eventually, Brian Boru died in battle
    against the Vikings.

    2.3 Scotland
    Scotland was populated by some separate groups of people. The main group,
    the Picts, lived mostly in the north and northeast and they seem to have been the
    earliest inhabitants of the land. The Picts were different from the Celts because
    they inherited their rights, their names and property from their mothers.
    The second one is the non-Pictish. They were mainly Scots. The Scots were
    Celtic settlers who had started to move into the western Highlands from Ireland
    in the 4th century.
    The last one is the Britons, who inhabited the Lowlands, and had been part
    of the Romano-British. They had probably given up their old tribal way of life
    by the sixth century.
    The spread of Celtic Christianity also helped to unite the people. Whitby in
    663, the Picts, Scots and Britons had all been brought closer together by
    Christianity. Finally, as in Ireland and in Wales, foreign invaders increased the
    speed of political change. Vikings attacked the coastal areas of Scotland, and
    they settled on many of the islands, Shetland, the Orkneys, the Hebrides, and
    the Isle of Man southwest of Scotland. In order to resist them, Piers and Scots
    fought together against the enemy raiders and settlers. When they could not
    push them out of the islands and coastal areas, they had to deal with them
    politically.
    However, as the Welsh had also discovered, the English were a greater
    danger than the Vikings and then The Scots decided to seek the friendship of
    the English, because of the likely losses from war.
    Scotland remained a difficult country to rule even from its capital,
    Edinburgh. When travel was often impossible in winter, and slow and difficult
    in summer. It was easy for a clan chief or noble to throw off the rule of the
    king.

    CHAPTER III
    CONCLUSION

    3.1 Conclusion
    In this case, The Celtic Kingdoms, started from 18th century, we have
    considered the information of The British Isles such as Wales, Ireland, and
    Scotland and how the leader in each kingdom ruled that national identity in
    their kingdoms during the period.
    3.2 Suggestion
    I really apologized because there are still many shortcomings and
    weaknesses in this paper and it is far from perfect. Suggestions which are
    coming from readers must be very helpful for me.
