	Romans in Britain - The Brigantes tribe
		It is not known whether the Brigantes in Europe settle in Britain, or vice versa.
		She was ruler over the Brigantes, having the influence that belongs to high birth, and she had later strengthened her power when she was credited with having captured King Caratacus by treachery and so furnished an adornment for the triumph of Claudius Caesar.
		Her husband was favoured by the sentiments of all the citizens; the adulterer was supported by the queen's passion for him and by her savage spirit.

	Brigantes @ Y2U.co.uk (Site not responding. Last check: )
		During the Roman invasion of AD 43 the Brigantes were arguably the most powerful Celtic tribe in Britain, dominating the north of the country.
		Brigante settlements were to be found at Catterick, Aldborough, Ilkley and York.
		Nevertheless, the Roman poet Juvenal depicts a Roman father urging his son to win glory by destroying the forts of the Brigantes and it is possible that one of the purposes of Hadrian's Wall was to keep the Brigantes from making discourse with the Scottish tribes on the other side.

	Brigantes
		The Brigantes were a tribe - or perhaps more accurately a loose confederation of related tribes - of British Celts inhabiting almost all of the area between the Humber and the Tyne.
		At the time of the Roman invasion in 43 AD the Brigantes were arguably the most powerful Celtic tribe in Britain.
		Initially the Brigantes, under the lead of their queen, Cartimandua, were on friendly terms with the Romans, acting as a "client-kingdom".

	BRIGANTES
		Following this internecine struggle among the Brigantes, the clientship of Rome was conferred upon Queen Cartimandua, who, along with her consort Venutius, were to rule the Brigantes for the next few years in comparative quiet.
		Since the legitimate monarch of the Brigantes, a client of Rome, had been forcibly removed from her throne, Brigantia for the first time was to feel the full wrath of the Roman military machine.
		The Brigantes took no part in the rising of the Iceni under Boudicca in the winter of AD60/61, and the only documented queen of the Brigantes, Cartimandua, was a client of Rome and would not have been involved in the destruction of a Roman Colonia such as happened to Camulodunum (Colchester).

	House Shadow Drake - Brigit - Part 5
		Outside of the archaeological record, all other information regarding the Brigantes comes from writings made after the Roman invasion of Britain in 43 AD It is thought that the Brigantes were actually made up of many smaller tribes such as the Setantii, Corvetii, Gabrantovices, Tectoverdi, Lopocares, and Latenses.
		The Brigantes were unhappy with the current situation, and probably made attempts to revolt from the Romans.
		It is possible that small groups of the Brigantes attempted to flee the from the Romans and headed west across the Irish channel.

	Description of the Brigantes
		During this travel they were masked from the Psychlos' recon drones by the thick canopy of the African forests and they managed to elude the Psychlos enough to survive.
		They never went close to the Psychlos, as the aliens could not operate in the swamps very well with their heavy bodies and tanks and the trees were too tall to fly into.
		The Brigantes keep their numbers down to a thousand men, leave their old ones to die and don't marry.

	BBC - h2g2 - Eboracum: Roman York
		Eboracum was in the territory of the Brigantes, the largest British Celtic tribe, but it was not their main town.
		The reason Eboracum was one of the later Roman towns to be founded after the conquest of Britain in 43AD by the Emperor Claudius, is because it is quite far north and the Romans wanted to be sure of the security and peace of the south before pushing northwards to consolidate the conquest.
		The Roman historian Tacitus tells us that the Brigantes were the most populous of the British tribes and that there were a series of bloody battles between them and the Romans, which led to their land being overrun.

	Cartimandua - WCD (Wiki Classical Dictionary) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		She and her husband, Venutius, are described by Tacitus as loyal to Rome and defended by Roman arms.
		When the British resistance leader Caratacus was defeated by Ostorius in 51, he fled north to the protection of the Brigantes, but Cartimandua proved her loyalty by handing him to the Romans in chains.
		After Caratacus's capture, Venutius emerged as the most prominent figure in the resistance: Cartimandua had divorced him in favour of his armour-bearer, Vellocatus, whom she elevated to the kingship.

	Britannia
		If a player has one of the nations in each of the following sets, he is not permitted to choose the other, unless there is no other choice available.
		This strongly limits the player who has the Romans, considerably limits the player who has Danes or Saxons, and limits the Norwegians and Angles almost as much, and it is conceivable that a late choice must be a "prohibited" combination simply because there is no other choice.
		The Saxons, Brigantes, and Picts have the Angles surrounded, in a manner of speaking.
