Ok I've been studying the Pictish invasions of Roman/Post Roamn Britain and I've come to a bit of a road block. Looking at a map, it would appear as though, throughout the period during which they are said to have occurred (400-500AD), there were other kingdoms, such as the Alt Clut region which was independently British and in no way I can see connected politically to the Romano-British. Also GALWYDDEL which was a "semi-pictish" kingdom that was cut off from pictland with the creation of Alt Clut. Then there were the Independent regions of North and South Rheged. Wouldn't these have acted as Buffer States Between the Picts who seem to be Isolated to the FAR north of the Island, and the Romano-Brits to the south? I'm sure there is more to it and maybe I'm just reading into it wrong. If anyone has a good explaination that could clear things up a bit I'd appreciate it. What I'm looking for is a somewhat detailed description of the often spoke of Pictish Invasions in the 5th Cent.
