There were people in Britain long before the Celts came across, which I think was around 500 BC, but we don't know much about them, like what language they spoke. In fact people have been in Briatin continuousy for thousands of years.\n\nWhen the Romans came, they found people speaking a language similar to Welsh, and also similar to Gaulish spoken in France and Belgium. Many of the Celtic tribes still had connections with their cousins on the European mainland. In the North of Scotland were the Picts, who may have spoken a Celtic language - no-one knows for sure.\n\nThe Romans came and went, even though they were here for four hundred years it doesn't seem that they left many descendants in Britain. It was always a bit of an outpost of the Roman Empire, cold, remote, unattractive to settlers.\n\nThen betwen about 450-600 AD, the Angles, Saxons, Jutes, and Frisians came from Holland, Northern Germany, and Denmark; they fought many wars with the (Welsh) Britons, overwhelming them. It seems that they were largely ethnically cleansed from most of England - many refugees went to France, to the area that came to be known as Little Britain, now Brittany. But Wales remained Welsh speaking, while Scotland was invaded by the Scots, an Irish tribe.\n\nLater, from around 800 AD, the Danes and Vikings came from Scandinavia. Originally they were just raiders, but they ended up settling much of Northern England.\n\nOf course, in 1066 we had the Normans coming from Northern France. They took their name from "Northmen", as Normandy had been conquered by Vikings previously, but they spoke a French dialect, and were probably descended more from Gauls and Romans than from Scandinavians.\n\nThankfully, that was the last serious invasion of Britain. Since then, there has been constant interchange of people with nearby countries, and those countries too with all their neighbours, so it is nothing surprising to find a little Mongol blood dating from their incursion into Europe, for example.\n\nWe had a large number of Protestant refugees from France - the Huguenots - in around 1680 - check \n\nhttp://www.huguenotsociety.org.uk/history/\n\nJews had also been present for hundreds of years, before they were expelled in 1290 - they were allowed back by Cromwell in about 1650. There were Italian merchants, and even Blacks were present in Shakespeare's time. More Blacks arrived as servants and freemen as Britain's Empire began to grow.\n\nMany Jews arrived from Eastern Europe from about 1880; there were also communities of Yemenis and Chinese, that originally arrived as seamen. In the 1930s we had Jewish refugees from Germany, and Basque refugees from Spain.\n\nDuring the Second World War, a large number of Poles came to fight against the Germans, and couldn't go back after because they couldn't accept the Communist regime. \n\nBecause of labour shortages, the British government recruited Italians and West Indians to work here; then people came from India, Pakistan and Bangla Desh. And since then, as the world has become a smaller and smaller place, people have come from all parts of the world, just as people have gone from here to all over.\n\nThere's nothing new about immigration, and nothing new about people's fears and hostility. But each wave of migrants gets absorbed into the population.

I believe "seltik" is the name of the basketball team; "keltik" is the name of the people who lived in the British Isles.\n\nAdditional: I was thinking of the Boston Celtics.  Interesting to find out that there's another team out there called the Celtics too!

King Arthur is the figure at the heart of the Arthurian legends. He is said to be the son of Uther Pendragon and Igraine of Cornwall. Arthur is a near mythic figure in Celtic stories such as Culhwch and Olwen. In early Latin chronicles he is presented as a military leader, the dux bellorum. In later romance he is presented as a king and emperor.

Igstrike is basically right, but that's not the whole story. When the Romans came to Scotland, they found two distinct populations, the Britons, speaking some dialect related to early Welsh, and the Picts in the far North, speaking a language unknown to us, which may or may not have been Indo-European - perhaps develpoed from the language of the pre-Celtic inhabitants.\n\nAfter the Romans left, thse two peoples were joined by Anglo-Saxons in the South, and Scots in the West, a tribe who crossed from Ireland, bringing with them the Gaelic language.\n\nSo the "Scots" were from Ireland; but today's Scottish people are descended from a mixture of all four peoples (plus newcomers).\n\nWorth noting that Gaelic, still spoken in the Western Isles, has never been spoken in more thatn half the country; Scots English is at least as authentically Scottish. The Picts and the Welsh were absorbed by the others.

In Welsh language, a caer or kaer was a royal residence during the 1st millennium AD or earlier. Caer can be loosely translated castle or palace or fort but no one English word captures the essence of a caer. A caer was home to a king, his royal family, his warband of loyal knights (teulu) who were his primary defenders in conflict, his druid(s) who were his chief advisors and the spiritual leaders of his people, and his bards who provided entertainment in music and poetry; together with their retinue of squires, artisans, servants, slaves and horses. Caers were famed for their great feasts that could last as long as a year, at which the kings and upper classes of two or several kingdoms would gather. Giving of feasts was a primary sign of wealth and status in Celtic society, at any rate in the fifth and sixth centuries.\n\nAt the same time, a caer was a defended fortress. They were often hill forts, such as the possibly-Camelot hill fort at South Cadbury in Somerset, or coastal forts such as Tintagel in Cornwall and Aberdyfi in Ceredigion.\n\nKings of small kingdoms, such as Ceredigion, had one caer. Kings of large kingdoms, such as Rheged, had several and migrated peripatetically among them.\n\nA caer therefore comes functionally close to a capital city, but in the context of an almost totally non-urban society.\n\nAs an aside, Caer is the Welsh name for Chester, situated on the northeast border with England. It also forms, as a prefix, the Welsh equivalent of -caster, -cester and -chester in place names. Both forms derive ultimately from Latin castrum "fortified post", more common in the plural castra meaning "military camp".\n\nRetrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caer"

Tara was once the ancient Seat of Power of the Irish Kings - 142 kings are said to have reigned there in prehistoric and historic times. In ancient Irish religion and mythology, Tara was the sacred place of dwelling for the Gods, and was the entrance for the Otherworld.\n\nThe Lia Fail or "Stone of Destiny" sits atop the Kings Seat (Tara) and was brought there by the godlike people known as the "Tuatha De Danann" according to Irish Mythology, as one of their sacred objects. It was said to roar when touched by the rightful King of Tara.\n\nThere you have it. The Seat of the High Kings, Tara, the place in the "old country" that Gerald O'Hara named his plantation for in the fictional story of "Gone with the Wind." Between the two places, Tara has both "fictional" and "real" inhabitants beyond counting.

I just want to correct the previous answer. Britons were not a Germanic tribe. The name refers to speakers of a group of Celtic languages called Brythonic. Britons were Celts. Towads the end of the Roman occupation there were settlements (invasions ) of germanic Peoples  Angles, Saxons, and Jutes that settled what is now England pushing the Britons (Celts) into Wales, Cornwall,  and Scotland.

MELCHIZEDEK\n\n(Mel·chiz´e·dek) [King of Righteousness].\n\nKing of ancient Salem and “priest of the Most High God,” Jehovah. (Ge 14:18, 22) He is the first priest mentioned in the Scriptures; he occupied that position sometime prior to 1933 B.C.E. Being the king of Salem, which means “Peace,” Melchizedek is identified by the apostle Paul as “King of Peace” and, on the basis of his name, as “King of Righteousness.” (Heb 7:1, 2) Ancient Salem is understood to have been the nucleus of the later city of Jerusalem, and its name was incorporated in that of Jerusalem, which is sometimes referred to as “Salem.”—Ps 76:2.\n\nAfter Abram (Abraham) defeated Chedorlaomer and his confederate kings, the patriarch came to the Low Plain of Shaveh or “the king’s Low Plain.” There Melchizedek “brought out bread and wine” and blessed Abraham, saying: “Blessed be Abram of the Most High God, Producer of heaven and earth; and blessed be the Most High God, who has delivered your oppressors into your hand!” At that Abraham gave the king-priest “a tenth of everything,” that is, of “the chief spoils” he had acquired in his successful warfare against the allied kings.—Ge 14:17-20; Heb 7:4.\n\nChrist’s Priesthood Typified. In a notable Messianic prophecy the sworn oath of Jehovah to David’s “Lord” is: “You are a priest to time indefinite according to the manner of Melchizedek!” (Ps 110:1, 4) This inspired psalm gave the Hebrews reason to regard the promised Messiah as the one in whom the office of priest and king would be combined. The apostle Paul, in the letter to the Hebrews, removed any doubt about the identity of the one foretold, speaking of “Jesus, who has become a high priest according to the manner of Melchizedek forever.”—Heb 6:20; 5:10; see COVENANT.\n\nDirect appointment. Jehovah evidently appointed Melchizedek to be a priest. In discussing Jesus’ status as the great High Priest, Paul showed that a man does not take the honor “of his own accord, but only when he is called by God, just as Aaron also was.” He also explained that “the Christ did not glorify himself by becoming a high priest, but was glorified by him who spoke with reference to him: ‘You are my son; I, today, I have become your father,’” and the apostle next applies the prophetic words of Psalm 110:4 to Jesus Christ.—Heb 5:1, 4-6.\n\n‘Received tithes from Levi.’ Melchizedek’s priestly status was not linked with the priesthood of Israel, and as the Scriptures point out, it was higher than the Aaronic priesthood. One factor indicating this is the deference accorded to Melchizedek by Abraham, the forefather of the entire nation of Israel, including the priestly tribe of Levi. Abraham, “Jehovah’s friend,” who became “the father of all those having faith” (Jas 2:23; Ro 4:11), gave a tenth, or a “tithe,” to this priest of the Most High God. Paul shows that the Levites collected tithes from their brothers, who also issued from the loins of Abraham. However, he points out that Melchizedek “who did not trace his genealogy from them took tithes from Abraham,” and “through Abraham even Levi who receives tithes has paid tithes, for he was still in the loins of his forefather when Melchizedek met him.” Thus, though the Levitical priests received tithes from the people of Israel, they, as represented in their ancestor Abraham, paid tithes to Melchizedek. Furthermore, the superiority of Melchizedek’s priesthood is shown in that he blessed Abraham, Paul pointing out that “the less is blessed by the greater.” Such factors are among those making Melchizedek a suitable type of the great High Priest Jesus Christ.—Heb 7:4-10.\n\nNo predecessors or successors. Paul clearly indicates that perfection was unattainable through the Levitical priesthood, thus necessitating the appearance of a priest “according to the manner of Melchizedek.” He points out that Christ sprang from Juda

I think you're referring to Norse mythology, which was sort of a religion.  Here's a link to give you a good bit of info.
