Description: A History of the Celtic Peoples and their Culture

Synopsis:

The Celts are one of the most fascinating people, and culture, in the history of our world. Once they dominated much of Europe, and yet... they were never an empire. Their history is far more complex than it seems, and there are many stories to be told that are yet not well known. The Celtic Chronicles provides a general, yet detailed, timeline of Celtic history. This extensive chronology contains entries of many well known events, both historical and mythological, but also several lesser familiar ones, and cover the entire Celtic history, from the very early beginnings until our own century. This book is an encyclopedic work for historical research, providing you a wealth of information and keywords that will help further any historical exploration of the Celts. Special attention is given to the Celtic invasion of Rome and Delphi, Hannibal's Second Punic War, the Gallic Wars of Julius Caesar, the rebellion of Boudicca, Vortigern's and Merlin's semi-historical accounts, Arthurian legends and history, the discovery of the Americas by Prince Madoc, the battles of the Scottish William Wallace and Robert the Bruce, the Welsh revolts of Owen Glendower, the acts of the Welsh and Scottish kings of England, the revival of Celtic culture and Druid organisations, the migrations of Celtic people to America and Australia, and the evolution of modern Celtic culture.
