| Brittany is a former
independent kingdom and duchy, and a province of France. It is also, more
generally, the name of the cultural area whose limits correspond to the
old province and independent duchy. Brittany is one of the six Celtic Nations.
It was at one time called "Lesser Britain".
The historical province of
Brittany was split between two modern-day régions of France. 80%
of Brittany has become the région of Bretagne, while the remaining
20% of Brittany (Loire-Atlantique département with its préfecture
Nantes, one of the former capitals of the duchy of Brittany) has been grouped
with other historical provinces (Anjou, Maine, and so on) to create the
région of Pays-de-la-Loire (that is "lands of the Loire"). For the
reasons behind the splitting-up of Brittany, and the current debate regarding
reunification, see the Bretagne article. |
