AEDUI, HAEDUT or HEDUI (Gr. A'Sovot), a Gallic people of Gallia Lugdunensis, who inhabited the country between the Arar (Saone) and Liger (Loire). The statement in Strabo (ii. 3. 192) that they dwelt between the Arar and Dubis (Doubs) is incorrect. Their territory thus included the greater part of the modern departments of Saone-et-Loire, Cote d'Or and Nievre. According to Livy (v. 34), they took part in the expedition of Bellovesus into Italy in the 6th century B.C. Before Caesar's time they had attached themselves to the Romans, and were honoured with the title of brothers

magistrate of the Aedui in Caesar's time was called Vergobretus (according to Mommsen, " judgment-worker "), who was elected annually, possessed powers of life and death, but was forbidden to go beyond the frontier. Certain clientes, or small communities, were also dependent upon the Aedui.See A. E. Desjardins, Geographie de la Gaule, ii. (1876-1893) ; T. R. Holmes, Caesar's Conquest of Gaul (1899).
