Absolutely none. The 'Druids' were supposedly a group of Brythons practicing arcane rites around stones.There is no mention of them apart from early Roman sources.Until the coming of the Anglo Saxons most of the population of Roman Brythonic society were illiterate. The Angles and Saxons commonly used runic symbols to write and they created the beautiful illuminated manuscripts which by the 10th century were famous throughout Northern Europe.
The Medieval era, particularly during the Early Christian and Gothic periods, was greatly influenced by the Christian religion. This era saw the creation of religious art, such as illuminated manuscripts, mosaics, and cathedrals, which aimed to convey biblical stories and spiritual themes. Artists often focused on symbolism and the representation of saints, resulting in a distinctive style that reflected the values and beliefs of the time. The art served both liturgical purposes and the broader mission of educating the faithful.

Manuscripts were expensive in the early fourteenth century due to a combination of factors. Firstly, the production process was labor-intensive, requiring skilled scribes to copy texts by hand. Additionally, the materials used, such as parchment and ink, were costly. Furthermore, the demand for manuscripts exceeded the supply, contributing to their high price. Overall, these factors made manuscripts a luxury item affordable only to the wealthy and elite.
