  7. Why did the Celts have human sacrifices? I also wonder what the people were thinking right before they were sacrificed?

  8. I'm wondering if the Celts language and lifestyle habits changed after they were forced away by the Germanic Invaders and if changing to Christianity influenced anything other than their brutal fights and human sacrifices.

  11. I'm wondering if the Celts learned how to make armors and weapons by themselves or if they learned it from a different place. I'm also wondering why Charlemagne would want so many wives
