Page "Bretonnia (Warhammer)" Paragraph 10

The concept of Bretonnia since the fifth edition owes a lot to mediaeval chivalric romances.

Most obviously in the fifth edition, three distinct knightly troop types were introduced: Knights Errant, Questing Knights and Grail Knights.

Knights embark on quests for the Grail and the goddess of the country is the Lady of the Lake.

Gilles le Breton, who unified the tribes of Bretonnia into a single nation, fought twelve battles against the Orcs-mirroring King Arthur's 12 battles against the Anglo-Saxons.

Another of the legendary figures of Bretonnia is the Green Knight, based in many ways on the character encountered by Sir Gawain.

However, Arthurian legends are not the only influence.

The geography of Bretonnia is analogous to that of France, as its political division into duchies.
