Europe, c. 500 Scots in Eire and only 5 cities of note, Ravenna, Rome, Lyon, Constantinople, and Toulouse.
Britain c. 802 was divided among competing groups, with most of England controlled by the Germanic Angles, Saxons & Jutes and Scotland divided between the Picts (the kingdom of Fortriu) & the Gaels (the kingdom of Dalriada) from Ireland who together combined to form the basis of the Scottish nation. 'Britons' here means the Celtic peoples -- including the Welsh in Wales & the Cornish in Cornwall (here labeled 'West Wales') -- pushed out of England by the Germanic tribes.

Since 1939, though, when the treasures buried at Sutton Hoo were unearthed, many people have been tempted to associate the poem with objects found at that site. This helmet, for some present-day readers, may be as close to the man “Beowulf” as one can get. (Copyright: Trustees of the British Museum, London)
