Belgae

Inhabitants of Gaul north of the Sequana (Seine) and Matrona (Marne) rivers. The term was apparently first applied by Julius Caesar, whose Gallic victories (54–51 BC) sent many Belgae into Britain, where they formed kingdoms, the most important of which were at Camulodunum (Colchester), Verulamium (St. Albans), and Calleva Atrebatum (Silchester).
