Britons

The Britons were a Celtic people who inhabited what is now England and Wales between 500 BCE and 500 CE. Their mythology was steeped in nature, with gods such as Lugh, a solar deity, and the fairy-like Sidhe, who were believed to influence human destiny. The druids, central to British religion, served as intermediaries between the gods and the people. The Britons’ stories, which included mythical creatures like dragons and giants, were passed down orally through generations. These myths would later form the foundation of Arthurian legends, tying the ancient past to medieval times.
