Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The Iceni were one of the English Celtic tribes, situated vaguely near London (at least, near enough for Boudicca to rampage to London.) They were there for the Roman invasion, so definitely of the Celtic time period. There's a good chance that there was some level of intermarriage with the Anglians, as I believe the tribe was still around by the time of the Anglian invasions, but I don't have any information showing a definitive link between the two. |
