Vae Victis 160: La Guerre d'Independance de Bretagne, 1487-1491 (Francés)

The French-Breton War simulates the conflict between the Kingdom of France and the Duchy of Brittany. Confronted with France’s rising power and the decline of his Duchy, François II of Brittany, and later his Daughter the Duchess Anne, attempted to form a rear alliance through Marriage with Maximilien of Austria in order to unite the two Houses. France was the preeminent Country in Europe after the Hundred Years War. The great Feudal Bretons were drawn to France’s strength and influence and swayed between loyalty and betrayal of the Duke of Brittany. Brittany’s Independence was played out at the end of the Century but its defeat during the Battle of Saint-Aubin du Cormier on 24 July 1488 sealed its fate. The War continued for a few more years thanks to the support (gold and soldiers) of England, Spain, Gascony and the Holy Empire. The War finally ended with the defeat of the Bretons despite their resistance and the Marriage of Duchesse Anne to King of France Charles VIII, thereby sealing the annexation of the Duchy to the Kingdom.
