A Group for all Brigantian researchers

Welcome to the Dark Ages Brigantia Group, a dedicated group of history enthusiasts and scholars who delve into the enigmatic era of the Dark Ages in the region once ruled by the Brigantes. Our journey takes us back to a time when the departure of the Romans left a power vacuum, leading to a fascinating period of cultural shifts and invasions. The Brigantes, a confederation of tribes in what is now Northern England, played a pivotal role during these tumultuous times. Our explorations focus on unravelling the complex history of this era, from the establishment of the Kingdom of Deira by the Angles to the Viking influences that swept across the land. We examine the merging of beliefs, the re-use of Celtic sacred places, and the significant battles that shaped the landscape of Yorkshire and beyond. Through rigorous research, field studies, and community engagement, we aim to shed light on the Dark Ages and the enduring legacy of Brigantia. Join us as we uncover the mysteries of ancient crypts, the grandeur of Ripon Cathedral, and the majesty of York Minster. Together, we will traverse the rapidly changing cultural dynamic of the time, seeking to understand the intermingling of beliefs and the stories of the people who lived through the Dark Ages in Brigantia.
