Filid
Filid (or Filed ): it is the old class of the Poète S Irish. This Corporation held a social status higher than that of the bards S.
About the year 500, the christianization of Ireland was extremely advanced, and the Paganisme did not remain any more but in a sporadic state. The Druid S, or at least a part of them, adopted the Christian religion and were melted in the class of the poets (or filid ) which was adopted and supervised by the Church while others took refuge in an opposition more secret than public.
This is why the Irish Littérature old written, which is born with Christianity and knows through him the receipts, the techniques, the models, the Rhétorique and the stories of the traditional Antiquité, tends to consider the druids as gifted Magicien S of prestige whose source could be only diabolic. Beside the filid , the Bards (of which the name finds among the other branches of the Celtic world , in particular in Welsh, Armorican Breton and in Goidélique of Scotland) was devoted to the praises and the literature of court.
