J'espère que tu sais que les bretons sont des immigrés gallois de cornouailles, descendants des celtes des iles britanniques mamène (juste que je vois trop de bretons revendiquer un héritage gaulois, c'est à dire genre celte continental, alors que non mdr)
Man, this song really gets to me... It makes me think of the Celtic tribes who tried to fight hard and true to preserve their Gods. Their ways. Their culture. Despite the odds stacked against them.
Don't forget this is titled Gallic Tribes... They ruled across northern Germany, Belgium, all of France, and even pushed as far south as Rome. (We are all family.) And this was prior to Rome pushing north to attempt to conquer in what is now Scotland and Ireland. :-) The Gallic tribes really gave back to the Romans as much as they dished out!
@@TheMschick22 They didn't even touch northern Germany dude, the hell are you talkin about? The furthest north the Gallic tribes ever got on the mainland was the southern Netherlands. Unless you're talking about the Frankish empire but that was controlled by the Franks, a Germanic tribe.
@@svefnhnuturthorgeirsson The DNA project proves it. They were literally right across from each other. A quick swim. The Galls were called that by Rome (after they conquered what we call France) the true name was Gaul and they were a "Gaelic tribe." Anglo-Saxon, Franks, East Saxon, Goths, etc, were ALL Germanic tribes. They (the Gauls) are who was across all of France. In the southern area of France near what is northern Italy, the best uprising against Rome happened - read about Vercingatorix. He made the mistake of warring with the Germanic tribes AND Rome. After Rome finally defeated them, they pushed further to conquer the Gauls. There was also conflict with the Germanic tribes. This resulted in the tribes pushing further north in England, Scotland, and encroaching the Picts which is why there were Anglo-Saxons in "AEngland," and Gaelic as well. Some findings even show that these tribes near the France-Italy border believed in a God with one eye, and even believed in a mystic tree or life or tree of knowledge. The question scientists are trying to answer is did these myths migrate north and inspire the Vikings, or the other way around? But the archeological finds and DNA don't lie about the locations.
The problem with the Gauls was that they could never put aside their differences, same problem the Germanics had, they constantly war'd against eachother. Vercingetorix had some of the most battle-hardened, fiercest Gauls fighting under his lead 3 of which were the Belgae, the Helvetii and the Volcae, him uniting fellow Gauls into his army proved to be very successful. If the rest of the Gaulish tribes stopped bickering at eachother, followed Vercingetorix lead and rose together as 1 mighty Gaulish army its very possible Vercingetorix could've won against the Romans, it actually makes me sad. The French and the Belgians should know how brave, powerful and badass their ancestors were.
That´s right, but the Germans defeated this old Horn called , we forgot his Name, his Head was sending to his Emperor, and the all of us, twas Arminius. So the Germans on the right side of the River could live their Lives unmolested from this: Geisel der Menscheit. Sorry for my German Language, but i did not find my Translation Book.
@@paddyret7968 Youre full of shit paddy, most frenchmen are more related to the gauls than to the romans and Ireland is just a gallic colony from the time of the celtic expansion from the caucasus mountains after their migration from the north of india.
@@ALEXANDER-nb1cr Europe is Celtic brothers... as for ww1 and ww2, well brothers do fight now and again but we are still Celtic brothers even the Saxons
Thanks Den, it's a pleasure to highlight such a proud and noble people, who fought against the might of the Roman Empire against all odds. Their deeds echo throughout History.
ever heard of einar selvik ? well keep your music that way as a ode to our herritage unpluged and a raw sound that will make different than any other composer and for that you will be greater than most of them . #StayTrueToYourBloodline its a honnor for all of us
Thanks again Den. Yes I love Einar's work, Wardruna are simply the best, real inspirational music. He is a true credit to his Nordic heritage. Have a great week Den.
If only they had waited, had resolved to out last Caesar instead of the eagerness to fight, for siege warfare, waiting on the enemy to starve, was not the Gallic way. Fighting was to be done honorably, for that is how you might enter eternity. But not when fighting the Romans. There is no honorable way to fight Romans.
@@hondacbrification Please elaborate. Of course one had to regard a Roman army seriously, but there was a universe difference between Gallic and Roman warfare, principally that a Roman army was a state sponsored, professional endeavor, with supply trains and a sophisticated command structure. A Gaul fought with a sense of honor quite differently from that of Rome. For instance, fighting had to be with swords and shields or spears, and archers were considered cowardly. Warfare meant someone was going to enter eternity, so the fighting had to be done in an honorable manner. The Romans, and Gaius Iulius especially, were not so constrained.
@@cinaedmacseamas2978 Being a Hun-Han Gerian which is a GaL group like ManGaL from which MonGoL as word derives I find it important to see my ancestors views as well rather then blindly believing in Greeko-Roman narrative. Far as I understand GaL moved between PortuGaL,BenGaL and MonGolia who connected Iberian peninsula with CaucaSIAN Iberian Kingdom and Siberia which even do divided in different groups they where interconnected. While maybe the western GaL haven’t had a cavalry like eastern ones or Romans it was more due to dense forest which requires a different type of warfare .Where Roman mercenaries had succeeded in conquering and exterminating a huge Gælic population in the west they success was a result of western Gælic tribes to unite as one against Roman intruders and not because of some sort of Roman mercenaries somehow being superior in any way. Rome spread its influence via money giving people a opportunity to earn money by things with it that they fundamentally didn’t need which was the reason why Roman mercenaries where often Gælic as well which was another issue out of many and is pretty much why in Hungarian and other languages in what we today call central-eastern Europe Deutsch are called Német,Nemci…for Ne means No but Nem means Not meaning there was a general rejection of them as being a traitors to they own people that persist to this very day since while MonGol ManGaL like Hun-Han is some sort offensive word as Barbaric-VárErik in our land it was Roma that was the most insulting word that ever existed where so called Gypsies are not called Roma because they where Romans but a insult of they past betrayal and alliance with Romans.
@@cinaedmacseamas2978 To make my point very simple as a Hungarian I do have a direct genetic connection to some Irish and Scottish royal Clans,English,Franks ,Deutsch,Swedish,Norwegian,Austrian,Polish,Russian and Hungarian royal house of Árpád which from a genetic perspective view actually links this historical people and tribes in my ,my wife and probably others to have originated from Árpádian basin and it’s surrounding area as in origins,meaning GeL,GaL,Gael,GauL ….where and are a much bigger tribal alliance then Greeko-Romans where willing to admit. The earliest genetic match found which according to genetics a 100% match is in today BulGeria and it’s over 4000 years old which simply points out that Ger and not actually a Deutsch-Dutch identity but actually GaL,GeL,Gael,GauL …just as Sian-Scythian who had a different warfare then Romans and Greeks.
@@hondacbrification I must apologize, but I don't understand how that applies to Romans and warfare, except to understand that the method of warfare was different. Over time, the Romans had adapted their method of fighting to better combat their dreaded menace in Gaul. The problem for the Gauls is that they did not counter the Roman changes with changes of their own. Head to head, shield against shield, Roman maniple formations were very difficult to beat, and a primary way to beat the Romans was by not allowing them to get into their standard, battle-ready formation, the maniple. Several ancient commanders figured this out independently: Viriatus, the Iberian-Celtic shepherd turned war-lord, successfully beat the Romans by luring them into an extended march through mountainous terrain and narrow passages and assaulted the Roman column along its length. This was done by Hannibal Barca at Lake Trasimene, and Hermanus, the German, Cherusci Roman officer who turned against Varus in the Teutoborg Forest. Each leader applying the same tactic in different times and circumstances. Vercingetorix beat Julius Caesar at Gergovia, then retreated to Alesia. Big mistake.
All the Gallic tribes waited too long to unite against Caesar. Same story in Britain all the tribes were against each other. The Romans took advantage of this.
Thank you very much. I too love Celtic History, there is much to be proud of, the great Celtic Tribes throughout the European Continent. From the great Queen Boudica to Vercingétorix , and so many more. I often think that if it were not for the Roman Empire and it's wars upon the Celtic people that we'd be living in a very different Europe today. Oh well, we can't change History, but we must not forget the Celtic influence that has shaped us, our ancestors, their deeds. Best Wishes from Ireland.
My Celtic ancestors and heritage is strong, our people for thousands of years has fought for independence for our own and is still to this day. Independence shall be achieved one day, under one banner of United Celts. Love from Éire
Thank you for uploading this song. It sooths the qualm of my inner celt. You wouldn't believe how many videos people have nontraditional instruments in it and called it "celtic" ...
Yeah, this song is great, thank you! And you´re right; most of the called "celtic music" is not how the music of the Iron Age Celts might have sounded, but tradicional music from the called "celtic nations" (Ireland, Scotland, Island of Man, Wales, Cornwall and Brittany, places where the celtic language was preserved), and the north of Spain. Nevertheless, these types of music, despite having features in common, are very different. So "celtic music" is more marketing (the word "Celtic" recalls green fields, faeries, beautiful things etc. for most of the people) than a proper label. Actually, I have lived in Ireland, and they use to avoid the term "celtic music" (but for touristic events), trad music is the more used. And apart, there exist celtic rock, metal, punk, hip hop, etc...
Dont forget england,the northumbrian pipes have a lovely tone,and in rural england they have old pagan customs,im sure there is plenty of celtic tradition
THE INNER TRUE CELTIC TYPE IS JUST SOMEONE TO REALLY NEVER BOTHER WITH--FUK THE ENEMY TO HELL I AM SOSED OFF WITH THE WAY THE LEFT OF ACADEMIA HAVE DESTROYED SO MUCH LEARNING IN ACADEMIA IIIII WOULDN'T GIVE A FLYING TOSS AS TO THEIR WHEREABOUTS ---CULTURAL DESTRUCTIVE SCUM HISS THEM ALL OFF TO HELL STARTLING WITH THE ULTRA FEMINIST MILITANT MISHITS OF ACADEMIA ---I SAY HEEY HEEY
I'm Mexican, but I'm white asf, most of my family comes from either Spain or France, it's crazy to think, that me as many of the whites in Latin America, we have a very distant root with gauls and celt-iberians, it's crazy to think that our blood has gotten such a long way from where it comes from
I am of Druid bloodline all the way back. The music I enjoyed. No one on earth today has ever heard that music. For thousands of years. Thank you Mr.Sullivan. it was good

Very nice to meet you Chelsea, it's great that you know of your Ancestors, their achievements. Be proud, always. Have a great Summer. Best wishes to you from Ireland.
Chelsea Keniston Keith O’Sullivan Composer Beli Mawr the Great is a god. Not a real person. Many royal lines traced their ancestry to him. Royal lines in medieval Wales. He is the equivalent of Belenos, a gallic god.
The Celts,a people of hard work,peace and joy, who live happy lives,but are also courageous, fearless and no strangers to war. Who's bravery even put the Germans to shame. It's too bad that they are gone in Gaul for they have lost in the end,yet they still fought on even against great ods .And unlike the modern french who always surrender,the Gauls never gave up,for they would rather die slain in battle than loose the freedoms their forefathers fought for dearly. Glory to the dead!!! Plunge feet first into Annwn, With the knowledge that we will rise!!
Both sides of my family were in the battle of Culloden on the Celtic side as there were Welsh and Irish combatants fighting with the Scots. My dads side laid low in the highlands while my mom's side went to Brittany, got involved with the thirty year's war and some are considered martyrs by the Catholic Church. My parents met in Texas, I'm mixed between Celtic, Norse, and Comanche ancestry. The farthest we can trace my family back on my mom's side is a relative of Brian Boru, while on my dad's side we go back to a soldier in William the Conqueror's army. Grew up hearing stories from my mom's side of our ancestry and the rare moments where various family members met or were saved by luck/the family guardian who seems to be Lady Artio. I grew up hearing of my Celtic ancestry so I see myself as a Celt with the adaptability of the Comanche, and Northern blood lust.
I have my family records from my grandmothers side completely framed with their occupation, where each person was from all the way back to William de needham almost a thousand years ago. I'm coming to claim what's rightfully mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@masonmccarty7837 Not my family. Celtic blood is strong. The only thing we lost is the language. I play the pipes study the combat and follow our families ancient traditions.
Thank you very much for this wonderful music which captures the essence of the Gallic civilisation so well. The rhythm, the choice of instruments, everything is pleasant and really gives the feeling of being immersed in the heart of the action. I took the liberty of using your music for my own video on the Gauls that I published on my (non-monetised) channel. I've been following your channel for a long time and I'm really impressed by the quality of your compositions and the diversity of styles. If it's not a problem I'd be very happy to use other music of yours for my future videos. Thank you for your work and I look forward to your next releases.
Thank you very much for your kind words. Yes, by all means use my music in your videos. I watched your video and was very impressed, and happy that you chose my music to add to your fine work. It was very informative, and very well done. Thank you for adding the subtitles. I subscribed to your channel and look forward to more of your excellent work. Best wishes to you from Ireland. Keith :)
Thank you very much, I appreciate that. It has always been a Historical period that I've been interested in. The Gauls, united behind the great Vercingetorix, gave it their all. Sadly, it was not enough to defeat the superb tactician Julius Caesar.
@@KeithOSullivanmusic It's difficult now to imagine the world if only a few battles in history had went differently. Especially with the Roman's. To imagine the world if the gauls had won this battle. The Roman's would have been defeated and ceaser likely dead. Wow!
@@erikbloodaxe9774 Perhaps the best Historical comparison to use as an indicator about how things would have worked out had The Gallic Tribes defeated Rome, would be the Germanic Tribes defeat of Rome in 9AD. The fate of Arminius, murdered a few years after the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest. The reason given is that the tribes didn't want a King. I believe the nature of Ancient European people was that they didn't want to be ruled by a King that lived far away, favouring a Chieftain, Clan Leaders. Their leaders suffered beside them, drank and feasted together, fought beside them, would die for their freedom. Quiet a contrast to who we chose as leaders today. No one can doubt that Rome provided one of History's greatest Leaders in Caesar, it is through his written word that we know of the ferocity, greatness of the Gallic Tribes and their selfless leader Vercingetorix. I often think about what could have been if things worked differently.
Ceasar himself said that it's because luck was on his side that day that he won at Alesia against Vercingetorix. That's the only time he recognized his victory was due to luck. Because of the way Gauls fought, Ceasar named those celtic tribes "Gauls" after the celtic word "gal" which mean "furious in battle".
The Gaul we're Galic, Vergent. Was German if I rember correctly, the Germans we're not Celts but we're always considered Germans. Ceaser had already defeated the Gauls and moved to Germany. Vergentatorex( sorry I can't spell his name) was a German tribal Leader when I read Ceasers' war annals / campaign s.
Renato Sousa - It's not the same word. This tribe was German not Celtic . The word Gaul comes from Galic hence the Gauls. It's not a Latin word or derived from the Latin language.

DNA test was a surprise that I'm italic gaulish, although my family inhabits Syria for generations, said to come from the north, it's stunning how the physical resemblance, even they reserved the hair style, let go the free spirit and adventure side. Needless to say, this small pocket of gauls, fought fiercely against the cruelty, and just like their ancestors it needed alasad to use an organized Russian troops to defeat this brave clan, and isis fought those brave individuals as a trojan horse. will it be a surprise if i tell you this family chose mountains? Their lands were pillaged and destroyed to earth. This music and video are very emotional to me. Viva the gauls!
Well, DNA Results say I Am; 42% England & Northwestern Europe 26% Scotland 14% Germanic 9% Wales 7% Scandinavian (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, ect) 2% Ireland 🤷♂️ Suprise to me! I thought I was more German, Irish, and French.
@@coppertopv365 those percentages come from A DNA While y DNA is the direct Male line (father to son) West Europeans are mainly R1B (y dna haplogroup), R1A cousins in east Europe, r1b has subclads like U106 Germanic / Goths U152 their cousin 'Alpine Gauls' Celts I'm not an expert in this, but a nice % of Neanderthals dna should appear as well. However there are many other haplogroups that inhabited Europe for centuries/millennias like I2 (closer relative to J2, J1 aka semitic) i think i2 are in east Germany and Scandinavia, some subclads of E (originally African) and others J2 (Rothschilds for example) most southern Italy, Greece, Turkey, Syria, Iran are J2

I'm Italian from the north, i've got good feeling both on the Celts (they were here before the Romans) and the Romans... anyway... a question for the readers... does it feel worse to be under Rome, the Franks (Germans) or to live in the multi ethnic society today?
As a neutral outsider looking in, without any real ideologies; To be under the sway of Rome means to be under the sway of oppressive imperialism, to be put under the arms of the Frankish zealots means to have your culture, and people under constant fire. To live in a multi ethnic society where everyone respects other peoples’ existence, and doesn’t try to impose or destroy another people group, means to live under enlightened guidance.
Rome killed killed our language and heavily Romanized our culture. The Franks on the other hand assimilated into our culture. I'd say better under the Franks. We have a glorious history under Frankish rule from Clovis all the way up till the French Revolution.
@@arng111 I'd rather have an appropriated culture over being gradually replaced by a tribe known for being brutal cunts. Germanica by any other name still play the same game, fella.
Does anyone know where the images come from? I have this feeling I've seen them in a film at some point but can't put my finger on it. LOVE the music. My family roots are all Celtic, Gallic, Picts, and Norse. It sings to me.
Beautiful!! I love the Celts. I have a question.... Do you know if the different celtic tribes usd the same instruments? For exemple, did Gauls knew the Bodhran ?
The Bodhran is the Irish Frame Drum as you know, I'd imagine that different European Celtic Tribes had their own type of Frame Drums known by different names. As the Frame Drum is an Ancient Musical Instrument used by many different Cultures spread throughout the World, due to it's basic simple design. Frame Drums differ from region to region in size, material used, for example different animal skin used and wood used to make the frame. Giving it a different tone. I have seen some Medieval Frame Drums with small cymbals around the frame giving it an extra Tambourine sound quality. Which may have their origins in Middle Eastern and Persian Music. There is so much that still today remains unknown about the Ancient Celtic peoples of Europe, but they were a very creative and artistic people, and one can only assume that when it came to music that they would have been equally creative. For example The Carnyx, the Celtic War Horn is a work of art, such intricate design. Which they used as they went into battle to put the fear into their enemies. I can well imagine that they would also use drums for the same effect. Have a great weekend. Best wishes to you from Ireland.
Thank you for your answer ! Indeed they were a creative people. I guess the importance of the bards in their society show your theory must be the right one.
Most of Northern Italy used to be Cisalpine Gaul (and still has Celtic roots). Milan (Medhelan/Medhelanon, central sanctuary of the Insubres) was founded by Gauls.
