Tree: Picts
| Tree Name | Picts | |
| Description | This Tree is families who have their roots in the Picts. The Picts were a group of peoples who lived in what is now Scotland north of the Firth of Forth during the Early Middle Ages (approximately AD 300 to 900). The Picts' origins are somewhat debated, but they are thought to be descendants of the Caledonians and other tribes mentioned by Roman historians. They eventually merged with the Gaelic kingdom of Dál Riata to form the kingdom of Alba, which later became Scotland. Maybe associated with the Calydonian Boar Hunt from symbols of the Blue Boar? They occupied the northern and eastern parts of Scotland, extending south to the Firth of Forth, as well as the Orkney and possibly Shetland Islands. Recent DNA studies have challenged some long-standing myths about the Picts, such as their proposed origins in eastern Europe and the inheritance of wealth through the female line. One famous Pict is Melusine. The Symbol of the Lusignan Dynasty, who lived in the early 700's. | |
