Re: Celtic Jutland

Gaeso-rix, I just remembered about the Gaestae (directly translated
as the Spear-men), however it actually meant the paladins, as in,
have spear will travel. However, there was a religious aspect as
well. As you hinted, these Gaestae were associated with a Celt sky
god who's symbol was the spear. There also was a test of piety
though a test of arms. In several ways the Gaestae appear to be the
forerunners of the crusaders.


Gaes-rix king of the Gaestae

would be a fitting celt name for a Cimbric war leader
