When you say "Celt" what do you mean? Irish? Scottish?
There was no generic "celtic" in the middle ages -- the idea
of one Celtic people is of very recent origin.
Weird tale involving this concept: My boss was on a panel
that turned down a request for a grant for a Celtic festival
on the grounds that it was not sufficiently ethnically
diverse. (He didn't agree, but was out-voted.) Just try
telling the Scots, Irish, Manx, Gallicians, Welsh, Cornish
and Bretons involved that they aren't ethnically diverse!
