577 CE - Breton Warrior Waroch defeats Merovingians

by Iain Mac an tSaoir

The Merovingian kings of the Frankish people had set their own sights on Amorica. They were less than impressed with the idea of an indpendent state in what they already considered their territory. However, the Breton Chief Waroch went to battle against the Franks. He ended their plans to subdue the area when he pushed them back past the Vilaine taking Vannes in the process.
