Britonia is the historical name of a settlement in Galicia Spain Galicia northwestern Spain which was settled in the late 5th and early 6th centuries AD by Romano Britons escaping the advancing Anglo Saxons who were conquering Roman Britain 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 Lugo Ecclesiastical history Council of Lugo in 567 and a separate bishopric established. Mailoc was nominated Bishop of Britonia and signed the acta at the Second Council of Braga in 572. The British Celtic settlements were quickly integrated and their adherence to Celtic Christianity Celtic rite lasted only until the Fourth Council of Toledo in 633 decreed the now so called Mozarabic rite Visigothic or Mozarabic rite as the standard liturgy of Hispania .
