British Brittany

Welcome to the alternate history of British Brittany, which explores the possibility of Brittany becoming a possession of the English kings. It all starts in 1175 when a daughter of the French king, Alys, dies earlier than in OTL. This is notable because Alys was bethrothed to the son of the English king, none other than Richard the Lionhearted.

The French king was suspicious of her death, however not enough to go to war.

In 1181, the Duchess of Brittany, Constance was forced into marriage with Richard (instead of his brother Geoffrey in OTL). The result: the title Duke of Brittany stayed with the English kings until Brittany was officially unified with the rest of the kingdom.
