Brigantia

Culture: British (Celtic)   Domain: Sovereignty of a territory, protection

Brigantia is a goddess closely tied to the Brigantes, a powerful tribal confederation of northern Britain, and to sovereignty over their territory; she shares linguistic roots with the Irish Brigid, suggesting both may descend from a wider shared Celtic goddess-figure of high standing and protective authority.
