Armorican Knights
Now that Britannia has been lost to barbarism, its nobles have found new lands across the Channel.The westernmost tip of France, what we now call Brittany, was once known as Armorica, from the Gaulish phrase "are-mori" - "on the sea". It was an area of determined resistance to Roman rule throughout antiquity, and in the 5th century AD, as the Western Empire collapsed, migrating Britons were able to establish themselves in the region. These people, fiercely proud of their identity - having migrated to preserve it - provided a haven for those displaced by the collapse of Rome and the horrors of the migrating hordes. The Frankish Merovingian kings, in the late 7th century AD, created a line of fortresses and defences along the border with Armorica, known as the "Breton March". This and other marches were administered by wardens to the crown, who were charged with observing, guarding and defending the kingdom against potential incursion. Clearly, the Merovingians (and later the Frankish kings) found the presence of the Armorican Bretons a cause for vigilance.
