How did Brittany get its name and its British-Celtic language in
the centuries after the collapse of the Western Roman Empire?
Beginning in the ninth century, scholars have proposed a succession
of theories about Breton origins, influenced by the changing
relationships between Brittany, its Continental neighbours, and the
'Atlantic Archipelago' during and after the Viking age and the
Norman Conquest. However, due to limited records, the history of
medieval Brittany remains a relatively neglected area of research.
In this new volume, the authors draw on specialised research in the
history of language and literature, archaeology, and the cult of
saints, to tease apart the layers of myth and historical record.
Brittany retained a distinctive character within the typical
'medieval' forces of kingship, lordship, and ecclesiastical
hierarchy. The early history of Brittany is richly fascinating, and
this new investigation offers a fresh perspective on the region and
early medieval Europe in general.
