56: Bretonnian History Part 2 | Warhammer Old World Lore

from Laying Down The Lore: Old World · host Laying Down The Lore

The time has arrived to look at the most famous Bretonnian of all time, Gilles Le Breton. From his “humble” beginnings as a dragon slayer he quickly forms a crusading army to free the lands of bretonnia from the Greenskins (though the Norscans, Beastmen and Undead make an appearance).. With their first victory banked we follow his ultimate road trip around the dukedoms, freeing each in turn and expanding the Grall Companions each blessed by the Lady of the Lake. We look at the various deeds of each companion and the lengths Bretonnian history goes to to ensure that the companions' armies are never really mentioned. We discuss the Lady’s comprehensive powers of disguise and the true horror unleashed by Fredemund the Falconer. Chat with us on Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Merchandise⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Quartermaster⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen Ad-Free⁠SHOW IMAGES:The Twelve Battles of Gilles le BretonThe Duel
