About  Strathclyde   

The Kingdom of Strathclyde - One of the kingdoms of Scotland that arose at the end of the Roman occupation of Britain was that of Strathclyde. At the height of its empire there stretched a kingdom from its capital Ail - Cluathe (Dumbarton) in the north down to Wales in the south. The people of the kingdom were Britons who spoke an early form of Welsh. The legend of Arthur arose from these people. Most of the kings are little-known, and their reign lengths are only approximate dates. The first mention of the Britons of Strathclyde is in Irish literature. Beinne Britt, or Beinne the Briton, led a Strathclyde army at the Battle of Muchramha, against the Irish in the middle of the third century. Art, son of Conn, is killed in the battle.
