- Breoghan (or Brigus_ was king of Galicia, Andalusia, Murcia, Castile, and Portugal - all of which he conquered. He built Breoghan's Tower or 'Brigantia' in Galicia, and the city of Brigansa or Briganza in Portugal - called after him; and the kingdom of Castile was then also called after him Brigia. It is considered that 'Castile' itself was so called from the figure of a castle which Brigus bore for his Arms on his banner.
Brigus sent a colony into Britain, who settled in that territory now known as the counties of York, Lancaster, Durham, Westmoreland and Cumberland, and, after him were called Brigantes; whose posterity gave formidable opposition to the Romans, at the time of the Roman invasion of Britain. [1]
