Excerpt from Highroads of History: Book Iva; From Earliest Times to 1603 I. The people whom we speak of as the ancient Britons were Celts who invaded our islands some seven or eight centuries before-the birth of Christ. They brought with them weapons of bronze - that is, a mixture of copper and tin. With their bronze swords they were able to subdue the old inhabitants, whose only weapons were of stone.
