List Celtic people of island of Brittany

The question of a settlement with “Celtic character” of the island of Brittany must be considered separately for two periods distinct and distant of almost thousand years: on the one hand during the prehistory and the protohistoire of the island, before the Roman conquest; and in addition during the Early middle ages.

Thus, can one distinguish

  • the Brittons ( britanni ), i.e. the inhabitants of the protohistoric Great Britain , among which one can include the Belgian people (Latin belgae ) which were established with the mouth of the Thames in -75.
  • the Scots, Celtic invaders of the island of Brittany to the Early middle ages.
  • the other people whose Celtic character is either dubious, or discussed for the protohistoric period, like Calédoniens.
