Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I was never told this in the school (Soviet-times). The story went that one person never matters, only the masses count! :-) :-) So we were taught about peasants uprisings...:-) :-) :-)
@zoetropo16 жыл бұрын
Endla Pikksaar: peasant uprisings were important in Brittany since Roman times. What makes Brittany unusual is that the peasants’ property rights were strongly protected by law and in practice, because the ruling families remembered that they were of plebeian origin. So, usually it was foreigners such as arrogant Franks and Normans that they rose against.

Really good video. Just one small thing - the Bretons don't speak a Gaelic language - the Gaelic languages are Scottish Gaelic, Irish and Manx. They speak a Brythonic language like the Cornish and the Welsh. Collectively the Gaelic and Brythonic languages are known as the Celtic languages. By the way Happy St. Ivo's Day!

Watching these videos and making my own research make me realize why the Britons, here in France, feel so independent because of so much of their history has little to do with the French nation itself, but rather England/Duchy of Brittany etc. I don't know if you'll talk about it since it's not the focus of your channel, but if you keep talking of Britanny, it would be good to mention Anne of Brittany since she marks the departure of Brittany under English influence to French influence. I was planning on visiting her castle in Britain next summer.

I was amused by the use of the “Norman Last Supper” from the Bayeux Tapestry when you mentioned the first peace treaty after Ballon, because Odo of Bayeux had Breton connections and just to his left (our right) stands Alan Rufus, leader of the Breton contingent at Hastings. Alan was a male-line descendant of Ridoredh of Vannes, a salt merchant and courtier of Erispoe’s.

William Longsword’s mother was Poppa of Bayeux and his wife was Sprota of Brittany. When William was assassinated in Flanders, Louis IV quashed Normandy and imprisoned William’s son Richard, but Richard was freed by local Gallic lords and remade Normandy in a new mould. A son Richard II and a daughter Hawise married into the Breton Sovereign House, while another daughter Emma became twice Queen of England.

The river Gouët next to Saint Brieuc in Brittany, comes from the middle Breton word gwed, which means blood, It take its name following the massacre of the Vikings of Saint-Brieuc of the Péran camp by the Bretons of Alan Barbe-torte in 936, and that would have made the river blood red.

It was Jean of Landevennec who prepared a Breton army at Montreuil/mer, Jean realized that the Bretons who remained on the native soil were impatient to shake off the Norman yoke. To concentrate the energies of all the Bretons remaining in Brittany it was necessary to have a young valiant and robust leader, it was in the person of Prince Alain who agreed to take the lead of the movement, in 936 (the battle of Plourivo allowed to open the door of Brittany to the Breton armies) firstly he defeated the Normans at Dol and Saint Brieuc, he was recognized Duke in 937, 2 years later he definitively defeated the Normans at Trans-la-foret with the Count Beranger of Rennes and the Count Herbert of Le Mans.. far from me the idea of offending you my friend, I really enjoy your good work , perhaps you will do a vid about the next period of Brittany or the Bretons during and after the conquest of england, the role of Alan Rufus, and the primordial role of Brittany during the one hundred years war, thank .
