Everything about The Deceangli totally explained
The
Deceangli or
Deceangi were one of the
Celtic tribes living in the British Isles, prior to the
Roman invasion of Britain. The tribe lived in north
Wales, though it's uncertain whether their territory covered only the modern counties of
Flintshire and
Denbighshire in the north-east of Wales or whether it extended further west.
The first attack on the Welsh tribes was made under the legate
Publius Ostorius Scapula who attacked the Deceangli about 48 AD. They appear to have surrendered with little resistance, unlike the
Silures and the
Ordovices who put up a long and bitter resistance to Roman rule. No Roman town is known to have existed in the territory of this tribe, though the auxiliary fort of
Canovium (Caerhun) was probably in their lands and may have had a civilan settlement around it.
The name "Deceangli" is probably preserved in the Welsh name of "Tegeingl" for the
cantref which covered much of modern Flintshire.
