The caste system among the Celts be they Irish, Scottish, Welch, etc. was similar to the caste system in place in most of the ancient world. At the bottom was the menial class…herdsman, house servants, and so forth. Next, came the warriors and, then, the intellectual class (judges, doctors, priests (druids, that is). At the top were the Kings and Queens. There were a whole range of Kings and Queens…not just one. The origin of the terms associated with Kings and Queens has to do with reaching out. The reaching out involved reaching out to all his/her people in order to protect them.
