GGG Ping.
Red Hair down to her hips eh? But was she a go’er? Know what I mean. Nudge nudge, wink wink. this decendent of the Picts needs to know.
First of all, that "bo" is an honorific prefix identical to "mac", "mc", and "p'". The language that used this particular honorific eor was absorbed about 1300 years ago in Greater Brittany which was roughly modern Brittany plus Normandy plus and Beaujolais (Bojoly). The "bo" honorific was also used among the families who escaped to Wales in the 7th - 9th centuries.
One typical spelling has "Boudica" showing "Bouadica" or even "Bouaddica".
That "ad" in the middle means Arthur.
"dica" is feminine for "king".
Roughly, Boudica is QUEEN ARTHUR.
This, of course, explains why Arthur left Guinivere up to Lancelot!
The tradition in France is that the gentleman known as Merlin replanted all the grapevines in Beaujolais after their destruction in the Dark Ages.
After reading that first thread you now know why King (er Queen) Arthur was so popular with the guys, eh~!
No matter whether you would have Pict her, there is no doubt she was kilt by the Romans...
It’s a durned shame that the peoples north of Rome left no written records. Their histories are coming spoonful by spoonful.
I've never believed we were all the descendants of simpleton farmers who couldn't pour piss from a boot. The Romans didn't have a lock on intelligence, they just had a more robust public works campaign.
I would think that the citizens of Cantellodunum (sp?) and Londinium thought that the Iceni were a little TOO eager to establish contact. The layer of the burning is still obvious after more than 1900 years.
It’s all in the written language left. For too long, any culture that didn’t have a written language was considered primative, even though it may have in fact been a very rich one.
“The “bo” honorific was also used among the families who escaped to Wales in the 7th - 9th centuries.”
I always wondered about the “bo” in my name! Thanks for the info!
However, those records were written in Greek. It's long been thought they used captured Greeks to serve them as an intellectual class.
The Romans also had ther best army in ancient Europe
Where are those records? If they left written records then why do we rely on scattered Roman writings?
Say no more, say no more... No what I mean ehy?
At the same time there are ancient records in Carvajal (Galicia) in Spain and in Wales ~ they have frequently been used as source material for the King Arthur stories.
Have you been living in a cave for the last 1500 years or what?
Yeah, King Arthur stories are certainly good history.
Have you been living in a cave for the last 1500 years or what?
In my particular cave there are no first-hand accounts of the Britannic peoples. Some written records would help to remedy that.
