"Pennhêrez Keroulaz" - "The Heiress of Keroulaz" - Breton Ballad - Kanaouenn Brezhonek

"The story of Marie de Keroulaz, the only daughter of François de Keroulaz, knight, lord of Keroulaz, below Léon, and lady Callicrine de Lannuzouarn, presents us with a series of events quite similar to those of Azénor de Kergroadez. Forced by her mother to marry, in 1565, François du Chastel, marquis de Mesie, who was preferred over two young lords of the country, Kerthomaz and Salaün, whose homage she received publicly, the heiress died of grief, leaving no trace. De Mesle holds a very dishonorable place in the history of Brittany. D. Morice reports that, under the League, during the Capture of Quimperlé, of which he was governor, he fled almost naked in the middle of the night, with women, crossed the river, and took the road to his manor of Châteaugal , where he was hidden.
Miss Marie de Blois, daughter of the scholar of that name, is the author of the discovery of the ballad that we are about to read. The version I am publishing was sung to me by a peasant woman from the parish of Nizon."
- Theodore Hersart de La Villemarqué, "Barzaz Breiz", 1846.
