<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom:0in">History: The dynastic union of Normandy and Brittany came about in 1515, with a marriage of the King of Normandy and the Queen of Brittany. The partial unification was in part due to a civil war at the time.

<p align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom:0in;">Stability reigned for about 130 years between the two unionized kingdoms, until 1635 when Charles II of Brittany was assassinated and the throne left vacant. The kingdom fell into disarray the same year. William V ascended the Norman throne in 1637 amidst calls for war and complete unification under the Norman banner.
