Celt - No such thing !!!

I am curretly on the trail of the Brigantes as they are noted as the only Tribe with lands in both England and Ireland. There are also mentions of Brigantii in the Austrian Alps and also in Spain. If these are linked that would be very intersting hock:

It's from a proto indo european root which became *bher(g)h in centum languages, berg in germanic and briga in gallic. Thus Brigantes is probably something like dwellers in the hills.

The Brigantes in northern britain have a good deal of continuity with the bronze age whereas the Parisii and/or the Arras culture in East Yorkshire is a new development in the 5th cent BC and has many parallels on the continent.

I doubt very much that a link can be found as " hill dwellers" could easily crop up in different areas ( no register of tribal names to debar it :roll: )

Interesting that the Pennines and Appenines are both hilly
