Gordon Noble, welcome to Empire.
voice-verified
I never knew that.

In school here in Britain, I think many people who are my age will remember the first thing you do in history is you colour in sort of a paint-by-colour Pictish person, you know, and there's sort of the winding tattoos on their bodies.
voice-verified
But why didn't they tell us about the matrilineals?
voice-verified
So, I mean, almost every other political system, as everybody knows who's listened to this podcast, and particularly in the British Isles, ran through the male line.
voice-verified
Why did the Picts do something so very different?
voice-verified
It's not categorically that it was matrilineal.
voice-verified
It's just sometimes when they felt like it, it might have been.
voice-verified
Is that what you're saying?
voice-verified
Gordon, you mentioned bead twice as if we're all mates.
voice-verified
You're talking about a man that we at school learn as the venerable bead, one of Britain's earliest historians.
voice-verified
By the way, Willie, you'll love this.

I got into so much trouble once, first essay, I wrote the venereal bead and they thought I was taking it.
voice-verified
No, I couldn't spell.
voice-verified
Anyway, could you tell us more about the venereal, I mean, the venerable bead?
voice-verified
Who is the venerable bead?
voice-verified
Hang on, hang on.
voice-verified
Mediterranean wine.
voice-verified
Now, wait a minute, because that wasn't in my Pictish colouring book.
voice-verified
So, I mean, that would suggest that if you're finding Eastern Mediterranean wine in Aberdeenshire, the Picts were traders?
