The Pictish warrior was part of a close-knit unit, in which the clannishness of the Celts was at its most extreme, with the warriors living, eating, sleeping, fighting, killing and dying together. The respect a warrior won from a glorious death did, to some extent, mitigate the sorrow at their loss, but Dark Age British poetry indicates that the death of a beloved leader had an intense impact on the warrior’s mind.

A head I carry in my cloak:

The head of Urien, generous ruler of his court.

On his white chest ravens glut themselves.
