This idea came about after watching a documentary on Pytheas of Massalia and his journey northwards and sailed all the way past the british isles to Thule which could have been either the Faroe islands, Shetlands, Iceland or Norway. What if after he had returned those in power or even just...

With a POD no earlier than 388 AD, make the Celts/Romano-British push away the Saxons and stay dominant over Britain, later turning into a Celtic-Norse hybrid culture. Also, how do you see a Britain like this developing?

While it was the Scottish house stuart that united the british isles, it has always been an English dominated project. Your goal, then, is to have it be a Celtic, SCOTTISH dominated state. England must still be Anglo-Saxon POD can be anywhere before the HYW Prior to unification, if that route...

A simple question, and one that is based entirely on your personal preference. Of all of the different ethnolinguistic situations for the territory comprising present-day England commonly suggested in various alternate history scenarios, which one do you find to be the most appealing or...

If Rome never goes about the conquest of britain, but trade with the tribes leads to the spread of Roman technology and ideas of government (not entirely unheard of in parts of germania), which tribes would be the best position to take advantadge of this and form a powerful kingdom in their own...

One of my favorite book series is the "Sister Fidelma" mysteries by Peter Tremayne. The first book deals with a murder mystery that takes place at the Synod of Whiby in Northumbria. While the mystery and murder are fictionalized, the Synod of Whitby actually did take place. The purpose of...

Okay, so I'm working on a TL, and I have it mostly kinda figured out. It does have a bit of wanking when it comes to Celtic culture in the British isles, but I'd like to say that it's mostly plausible. Thing is, it needs a good point of divergence. I know that the Anglo-Saxons were taking...

Challenge: With a post-800 POD, make Celtic South Britain as powerful and influential as possible.

What's a POD to have the British Isles remain mostly Celtic in traditions and culture and keep Germanic influences to a minimum or completely none?

How can the British Isles be dominated by a Celtic state or states? How would this state's society evolve differently than England's? No POD before the fall of Rome is allowed.

I was doing a bit of reading, and wondering if there was a way to limit or avoid the Anglo-Saxon invasion of the British Isles and have Britain by and large retain more of a Celtic cultural identity. It's apparently difficult to find any good sources on when and how the Anglo-Saxon invasions...
