History With Hilbert | The Kingdom of Strathclyde In Early Medieval Scotland @historywithhilbert | Uploaded November 2023 | Updated October 2024, 16 hours ago.
The Kingdom of Strathclyde was one of the Celtic kingdoms that made up the Hen Ogledd (Old North), and was the one that survived the longest of all the North British kingdoms in the Early Middle Ages. As Sarah, my guest on the History with Hilbert Podcast a few days ago, explains, the Viking Age caused major upheaval in Southwestern Scotland. The Kingdom of Strathclyde was an important political player in Early Medieval Scotland and had power and influence in Pictland, and even supplied many Pictish kings. It's for this reason that she argues the kingdom might have survived as the only Northern Brittonic kingdom when the others such as Rheged, Elmet, the Gododdin and more were all conquered and didn't survive the seventh century.The old Kingdom of Alt Clut or Ystrad Clut was destroyed with the Viking raid on Dumbarton Rock in 870 AD, though from its ashes the newly named kingdom of Strathclyde would rise to thrust southwards and take the western parts of Northumbria which still bear the name Cumbria today as its legacy.
