Just found out my people were part of the Brigantes tribe. This explains so much about my love of shiny torcs and hatred of Roman legionaries!

Really good. Really captured my imagination. And it will be a trilogy!

What did the Romans ever do for us!? Underfloor heating, that's what & we've still not applied it. 🤷♀️

Recent times? The 70s? Sounds like a fair description, if so.

If you want to buy an Island and call it Brigantia, I'd like to apply as Royal Dog Walker. Thank you

You know what they say…Brigantes born, Brigantes bred, strong in’t arm, thick in’t head. 😂😂 Gave up on sorting out my peoples… adoption is such a bugger. French Algerian/Mancunian/Cypriot/Irish An Lucht Siúil/ & born a Cockney was enough of a brainfull 🤪

If your ancestors walked across Dpggerland to get here, before the North Sea formed, than I consider you a native. If they got here later, in a boat, then "go back to where you came from". 😜 so that makes 99.9999% of Brits newbies!

Hate to strike a boring note of caution @manmademoon.bsky.social but the leader of the Brigantes was Cartimandua, an ally of the invading Romans. Recommend @theduncanmackay.bsky.social great Echolands for more www.waterstones.com/book/echolan...
