The Duchy of Brittany ( Breton: Dugelezh Breizh, [ dyˈɡɛːlɛs ˈbrɛjs]; French: Duché de Bretagne) was a medieval feudal state that existed between approximately 939 and 1547. Its territory covered the northwestern peninsula of Europe, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the English Channel to the north.
During the Middle Ages, Brittany fought to become and remain an independent duchy. It was first united in the 9th century under the rule of Nomenoë, Brittany’s national hero, who revolted against the Carolingians. By repelling the Norse invaders, his successors were able to keep the independence he had won.
That year marked a significant shift when Anne de Bretagne married King Charles VIII of France, officially attaching it to the French Crown. While it became a French province in 1532, the duchy retained a degree of autonomy and numerous privileges until the advent of the French Revolution , and remained closely tied to the monarchy throughout its history.
