The Chronicle is an important primary source for historians and scholars studying the early history of England. It is written in Old English and has been translated into modern English for contemporary readers.The first inhabitants were the Britons, who came from Armenia, and first peopled Britain southward. Then happened it, that the Picts came south from Scythia, with long ships, not many; and, landing first in the northern part of Ireland, they told the Scots that they must dwell there. But they would not give them leave; for the Scots told them that they could not all dwell there together.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
