Celtic or Viking knots? Medieval stone monuments of Britain
British medieval stone monuments such as the High Cross are famous for their unique interlace styles sometimes called Celtic knot work. During the early medieval era the Picts erected unique picture stones, the Anglo-Saxons established the high cross tradition and the Gaels and Vikings also influenced the artwork of the peoples of the British isles. In this video I will try to explain how the medieval stone monument tradition developed and how the Viking invasions influenced the high cross tradition in Ireland and resulted in runic crosses on the Isle of Mann and hogbacks graves in Scotland and England. You will see animated cgi of the pagan Norse imagery from the Gosforth cross and finally I take a trip to the marvellous medieval stones of Govan in Scotland. Sometimes it is hard to tell if such monuments are Celtic, Viking or Anglo-Saxon!
