Thread is worthless without Picts!
“The Trvve Picture of a VVomen Picte.” Theodor de Bry’s engraving of a Pict woman (a member of an ancient Celtic people from Scotland), published in Thomas Hariot’s 1588 book A Briefe and True Report of the New Found Land of Virginia. The woman stands with a long spear held upright in her left hand, and two long spears held horizontally in her right hand. She wears only a large ring around her waist, from which a curved sword hangs behind her, and a smaller ring around her neck. Much of her body appears to be painted or tattooed. In the background, two buildings stand on hillsides.
LOL!

BBWW.
My people were from Dal Raita.
Interesting. I have seen that illustration before presented as a picture of an American Indian woman.
One In Ten Scots Men Descended From Picts
"Now new research from ScotlandsDNA, an ancestry testing company, has found a marker strongly suggesting for the first time that a large number of descendants of these northern tribes, known as “Picti” by the Romans meaning “Painted Ones”, are living in Scotland."
The majority racial origin is probably gael (Irish). Theres also going to be a lot of Anglo-Saxon too.
Different groups of R1b's arrived at different spots where previous R1b's had settled...different groups have different customs, basically and there was conflict.
Haplogroup R1b(male)
Recently scientists have discovered that R1b's have more male children than female. That accounts for the high percentage (68%) of R1b's in Europe.
LOL!
Do you know if they actually arrayed themselves like this? Or is it just a symbolic representation?
As far as I understand it, very little of substance is actually known about the Picts and their culture. They built in wood, which has rotted. They left behind very little writing and no histories. We have a few names (none of them female incidentally). Practically all we do know about the Picts was recorded by the Romans and the Gaels, who hated them. “Pict” itself is the Roman term for them. We don’t even know what they called themselves. There’s talk of woad and tattoos, of wicker shields and long spears and (curiously) crossbows, but really the evidence for all that is surprisingly scant. We do know that all references to Pictavia (Pictland) and the Picts stop very suddenly in the middle of the tenth century, probably as a result of culteral subversion and conquest by the Irish.
