Belgae. An ancient
P-Celtic people of northern Gaul whom Julius Caesar (1st cent. BC) described as the fiercest of all. Caesar also tells us that portions of these people settled in Britain in areas most accessible to the sea before the end of the 1st century BC. Irish commentators as early as Roderick O'Flaherty (1685) assumed that the Belgae could be identified with the
Fir Bolg of Irish pesudo-history. Caesar's assertion that the Belgae were the Germanic origin is now understood to be geographical (i.e. from east of the Rhine) rather than ethnic (i.e. Teutonic). Their settlement in Britain included what is now Hampshire and Wiltshire. T. F. O'Rahilly's argument (1946) that the Belgae were identical with the
Builg and
Érainn, early invaders of Ireland, is now rejected.
