Dal Riata

Dal Riata was a Gaelic kingdom which existed in Scotland from the 5th century to 843 AD. For centuries before the end of Roman rule in Britain, there have been communities of Gaels living of Britannia's western seaboard, but they were small things. During the 5th century, they started to grow and expand as a result of invigoration and changes in their homeland. Among these pockets of Gaelic expansion, unbezpochyby the greatest was the kingdom of Dal Riata in the north-west of Britain. The legend of a grand invasion may be a fanciful mythologizing of much slower population shifts, but by 481 the center of power in the kingdom moved from Ireland to Britain. Během konce 6. století našeho letopočtu moc a vliv Dal Riaty rostly, zahajovaly námořní výpravy na Orkney a Isle of Man a napadly Brythonic kingdom of Alt Clut a Anglian kingdom
