In 1483: the agreement between Francis II and the Catholic Monarchs

Five documentary witnesses preserved at the Archivo General de Simancas and dated from November 29 to December 2, 1483, allow us to follow the negotiation and then the implementation of an agreement between Francis II, Duke of Brittany, Ferdinand II of Aragon, and Isabella I of Castile. Bretaigne DAO publishes the references of the sources already found, what they actually establish, and the documents that still need to be located.

News brief

In Krakow, Poland also celebrates Celtic cultures.

The second edition of the Kraków Celtic Festival takes place from September 4 to 6 in Kraków, Poland. For three days, musicians and dancers from Poland, Ireland, Scotland, the Isle of Man, and Brittany gather in the former Polish capital. A Celtic presence that may be surprising nearly 1,500 kilometers from Brittany, but which is based both on a very active local music scene and on a much older history.

Communiqué de presse

Koun Breizh asks Loig Chesnais-Girard to remove the association between "Bretons" and "pigs" from his communication.

The communication regarding the launch of the consultation of Bretons by the Brittany region is centered around the phrase "everything is good in Breton!" which brings to mind the well-known saying "everything is good in the pig!" Koun Breizh cannot accept this association of ideas and asks Loig Chenais-Girard to remove this mention that reminds us of the latent racism we have endured in history. However, in self-deprecation, this association does not make us laugh.

Rivoallan, from Morlaix to the scorching lands of Sonora

Born in Morlaix in 1827, Charles-Gustave Rivoallan seemed destined for the peaceful career of a lawyer. However, the gold rush led him to California, and then to the Sonora Desert alongside the buccaneers of Count Raousset-Boulbon. Battles, heat, Apache attacks, and disillusionments turned his quest for fortune into a true survival ordeal. Before his discreet return to Brittany, Rivoallan had experienced one of those forgotten epics that transform an ordinary life into History.

Are we doomed to stagnation?

My response to Bernard Poignant on the issue of autonomy. If the person concerned felt compelled to label Brittany's autonomy as unrealistic in a column in Le Télégramme this summer, it is because we have won the cultural battle. Bernard Poignant is the symbol of the PS power networks, those who have harmed us so much in Brittany and who still pull the strings, in the region and elsewhere.
