PC: Pictish rule in British Isles continue

Basically, the title says it all.

Either the Picts somehow rebuff Roman invasion initially, or breed them out after they leave. In either case, the more important part, in my opinion, is that they rebuff Saxon domination, which doesn't strike me as terribly likely.

Assuming that could be finagled somehow, what would the rest of history look like without the Anglo-Saxon Enland we've come to know?
 
Well, technically, one can considers that Picts rulers eventually obtained overlordship on Scots, as their royal lines dominated.

Anyway, a "Pictland", clearly distinguished from Scots, would probably look like early medieval Scotland : a king (more or less like Welsh or Irish high-kings) ruling over his own and having technically overlordship on peripherical kingdoms (including Scots, probably, as Strathclyde was OTL).

It is possible that *Scotland would keep a great deal of autonomy, if not independence as Moray did OTL.

The butterflies would be relativly limited : Vikings incursions are still likely to happen, as well Anglo-Saxon history in its great lines.

Pictland could co the way of Wales or Ireland (specifically because a real tentative of union failed with Scots) or having a "Davidian revolution "equivalent.

Errr... the Picts were north of the Roman and anglo saxon invasions, mostly anyway. They were wiped out (culturally) by the Irish (ie the Scoti), not by Romans or Germanic invaders.

So, Im not sure what your question means. Sorry.

Are you referring to the Britons or the Picts? Because "Picts" is the more specific term for the ancient inhabitants of modern Scotland, and Britons is a more general term for the the Celts that lived in all of Roman Brittania.
