At the Harvard Celtic Colloquium today a paper was presented on some peasant revolts in 4th and 3rd century Gaul and France (and possibly Britain) by a group identified as "Bagaudae" or "Baucadae." The word is apparently Celtic of some kind, but no one (including the presenter) knew of an etymology for it. Any takers?
