CORRECTION - CORRECTION - There were NO ENGLISH in ENGLAND at that time (67AD). The Britons were still in their own homeland rather than in Brittony and Spain.

The English were just then learning how to pick lice out of their hair back in Denmark, Saxony and other as of then un-named or un-known barbarian heartlands!

I'll have you know that my English ancestors didn't learn to pick lice out of their hair until centuries later. And my Scottish ancestors (when they weren't running around naked, painting themselves blue, and conking each other on the head) no doubt served as the best pimps and call girls the Roman soldiers ever had the pleasure of knowing.

Well, maybe not quite so primitive, but you are correct, the ones in the south were Britons, many of whom moved into Cornwall or Wales or Britanny or Galicia.

interesting bit about hte Sctos -- they were an Irish people hwo moved in only after the Anglo-Saxon conquest of Britain. This was in opposition to the Hibernians who had invaded Ireland centuries earlier. Until the 6th century, Scotia was really Ireland. Scot means an adventurer or something similar in Irish (someone help me out here), not really a tribe. So, until the 7th century, Alba or modern day Scotland was Scotia Minor as opposed to Scotia Major (modern day IReland)
