 Albiorix
Because of his title and his association with Mars many have attempted to link Albiorix and Teutates going as far as to suggest that they are one and the same deity; though there is little or no evidence for such a conclusion.
What is probable is that Albiorix was the father/protector deity of the Albici tribe of southern Gaul whose name is derived from that of their main god.
Albiorix's rôle as a 'father of the tribe' type of deity is entirely compatible with the protective and martial aspects of Mars, as it is with the healing aspects of Apollo which explains why he was syncretized with both these Roman deities.

 Albiorix   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Judging by an inscription found in Avignon, the Romans refered to him as "Mars Albiorix," which would then put him in the same category of the Gallic god Teutates, who was (it is believed by scholars) refered to by the Romans as the god Mars.
This is in fact the case--Albiorix was protector of the Albici tribe in southern Gaul (from which they took their name, or vice versa); he was considered a mountain god.
However, if Albiorix and Albion are related, this would simply add to the concept that Albiorix and Albion are perhaps not only gods, but founders of the "tribe"--the Celts.
