Briton people

The Brigantes were a tribe or confederation of Celtic Britons who dwelt in what is now Northern England during the Iron Age and Roman era. Their territory, often referred to as Brigantia, was probably the largest of the British tribes and was centred on the Pennines and what is now Yorkshire. Their Roman-era capital was Isurium Brigantum (Aldborough), and the city of Eboracum (York) was within their territory. They are also associated with Stanwick fort. Prominent leaders named in Roman sources were queen Cartimandua and king Venutius.

' (also spelled or ') was a Romano-British military leader who was active circa AD 470. He fought against the Goths in alliance with the declining Western Roman Empire. He is called "King of the Britons" by the 6th-century historian Jordanes, but the extent of his realm is unclear. Some Arthurian scholars identify Riothamus as a possible inspiration for the King Arthur of legend.
