In the fifth century, following the collapse of the Roman Empire, Britons from Wales and Cornwall set off across the Channel to colonise Brittany. They brought with them their language, their Christianity, their chiefs and the saints who inspired them. This book tells the story of these early settlers by exploring the origins of over one thousand place names in Brittany. It uncovers deep cross-Channel connexions by detailing equivalent place names in Wales and Cornwall, as well as showing how the place names relate to the preceding Gaulish and Roman civilizations.From Acigné to Yvignac-la-Tour this lively well-researched book drives the reader through a fascinating landscape of Celtic language, myth and history to reveal the personalities, events and communities that have shaped Brittany.
