ARTICLES RELATED TO Brittany - History | | | |  Brittany - History: Encyclopedia II - History of Brittany - Early modern BrittanyAfter 1532, Brittany retained a certain fiscal and regulatory autonomy, which was defended by the États de Bretagne despite the rising tide of royal absolutism. Brittany remained on the whole strongly Catholic during the period of the Huguenots and the Wars of Religion, although Protestantism made some headway in Nantes and a few other areas.

| | | | Brittany - History: Encyclopedia II - History of Brittany - Mesolithic The best-known mesolithic sites from Brittany are the cemeteries on the islands of Hoëdic (10 graves) and Téviec (9 graves) in Morbihan. The collective graves are placed in shell middens without any particular order. Some graves show evidence of postmortal manipulations of the bones. There are single burials and empty graves (cenotaphs) as well. The graves are covered with stones, a hearth or antlers forming a sort of dome. Rich funeral gifts, flint tools, engraved bones, shell ornaments and ochre demonstrate the affluence of these hunter- ...

| | | | Brittany - History: Encyclopedia II - History of Brittany - Middle Ages Bretons took part in the Revolt of 1173-1174, siding with the rebels against Henry II of England.

At the same time, Breton life became increasingly integrated with that of the rest of France, particularly under the Third Republic.
Brittany has had its own regionalist and separatist movements which have experienced varying success at elections and other political contests. Modern Breton nationalism developed at the end of the 19th an ...
