This list represents the Scots-Irish from possible contact with the early Imperial Romans in the second or even first Century until their final amalgamation with the Picts to form the early Scottish Kingdom under Kenneth MacAlpin in 843 AD.
The Scots-Irish are depicted as mad-charging warriors in a continuation of the classic Celtic style.
*Hounds of Ulster may not break-off.
The Scots-Irish were organized in a series of petty kingdoms, and the greater of these might maintain the sons of other petty chiefs and kings to ensure their loyalty, or as part of cultural tradition. These Royal 'Hostages’ were cared for by the King and often took the field in his support.
Chariots are mentioned frequently, especially in heroic combat. The Scots-Irish maintained the use of chariots longer than even the Picts. However, they seem to have fallen out of favor toward the end of the period. Raiding armies usually did not take chariots; hence they are included in the bonus list only. M2CH should not be used after the sixth century. In tournaments they may always be used.
