Carvetii
The Carvetii were one of the Celtic tribes living in the British Islands, previous to the Roman invasion of Britain. The tribe lived in the northern England, namely in modern Cumbria and Lancashire, centred around the capital Carvetiorum. They were probably a tribe included in the confederation of the Brigantes.
Venutius, husband of Cartimandua, the queen of the Brigantes, and later an important British resistance leader, may have been a Carvetian.
