Description
A quick little thing I whipped up for a contest over on AH.com, wherein you are given a color and a word, the word in this case being "invasion". The color, to me, looked most like the UCS color for Scotland/Caledonia, and the first time I thought of Scotland invading anyone else was during the decline of the Romans' power in Britain, and thus I present to you a Kingdom of the Picts that pulls together behind a strong, capable ruler and begins to invade the rest of the British Isles, beginning with the lands between the Antonine Wall and Hadrian's Wall (in addition to the Dรกl Riata lands in OTL Northern Ireland), and moving on to conquer the Kingdom of the Brigantes once Roman power in the Isles finally collapses. There is also significant historical evidence that the Picts raided very far south, so I included that on the map as well.Questions? Comments? Feel free to leave them below, and I'll do my best to get back to you.

Interesting...so would this have left much of a significant mark in later periods? For example, what happens when the Saxons come along?
