Stephen Lawhead writes many reenactments of Celtic history. His King Arthur series of books (Merlin, Taliesin and Arthur) all cover this period and the links between these fictional characters. I loved those books and Lawhead send to awaken the spirit of those times in my generic memory. Indeed, the reason I called you Taliesin is because of this memory.

What I find interesting is that the freedoms we find today in the Magna Carta, our concepts of natural law and ideas of justice and resistance towards tyrany, along with the concept of a total imancipation of the soul from entrapment and suffering, are heavily solidified from these roots.

Also, Lawhead writes another great series depicting Robyn Hood as a Welsh prince, rising up against the Norman invaders to defend his kingdom from the materialisticly depraved and callous Frenchies. He connects the original construction of the longbow to the Welsh as pay off this tale.
