Albiones


The Albiones were a Gallaecian people living the north coast of modern Spain in western Asturias and eastern Galicia mentioned by Pliny. They are generally included in maps of Roman Spain.

The name Albiones is also attested on the "stele of Nicer Clutosi" found near Vegadeo, which has the inscription:

This same area was settled by a group of Britons in the post-Roman period, from whom the region took the name Britonia or Bretoña, mentioned in ecclesiastical sources as Britonensis ecclesia ("British church") and an episcopal see called the sedes Britonarum - see the History of Galicia.
