Asentamientos Britones en el siglo VI

Britonia is the historical name of a settlement in Galicia (northwestern Spain) which was settled in the late fifth and early sixth centuries by Romano-Britons escaping the advancing Anglo-Saxons who were conquering Britain at the time. Britonia is therefore similar to Brittany in Gaul in that it was settled by expatriate Britons at roughly the same time.
What little is known of Britonia is deduced from its religious history. The British settlements were recognised at the Council of Lugo in 567 and a separate bishopric established. Bishop Mailoc signed the acta of the Second Council of Braga in 572. The British Celtic settlements were quickly absorbed however and their adherence to Celtic Christianity lasted only until the Fourth Council of Toledo in 633 where they accepted Roman Catholic orthodoxy. The see of Britonia existed at least until 830 when the area was attacked by the Moors; it may have continued as as late as the Council of Oviedo in 900. It was finally merged with the see of Oviedo and Mondonedo.
