The Duchy of Brittany was a medieval tribal and feudal state covering the Armorican peninsula west of Mont-Saint-Michel and north of Nantes/Naoned, including Rennes/Roazhon and Vannes/Gwened. It largely corresponded to the French region called Bretagne, historic Brittany, a region with strong traditions of independence, including a distinctive culture and the Breton language.

  • The Duchy of Brittany was a medieval tribal and feudal state covering the Armorican peninsula west of Mont-Saint-Michel and north of Nantes/Naoned, including Rennes/Roazhon and Vannes/Gwened. It largely corresponded to the French region called Bretagne, historic Brittany, a region with strong traditions of independence, including a distinctive culture and the Breton language. The incorporation of Brittany into the Carolingian empire ensured that the political and social institutions were similar to those prevailing elsewhere in western Francia. Until the 10th century, Brittany was severely affected by Viking attacks and ducal authority was weak.
