Picking Factions

[Claym0re]

I don't know if anyone else is like this but, I like playing factions where I felt like I would've been in History, since I'm American and after doing research into my family background I have found out I'm from St.Malo, Brittany, France. After learning more about the Bretons and there role in medieval history, I realize they are a celtic people but my question is what faction should I play or mods to best play like st.malo? Should I play France even though near the end of the 100 years war they were taken by France, but they mainly allied themselves with the English, so Should I play the campaign as English? or Scottish because it is the only Celtic nation still in the campaign? Also were the Bretons still Celtic in Culture during the middle ages? I don't know much about St.Malo so any information on the factions or how Brittany played a role, or mods I should be playing would be a great help!

I would say either playing as England or France will be historically accurate. I think the English had Brittany under their control in the early game time span, the French controlled it alot later, so take your pick!

These might help if you have not already had a read:

Technically, there were no celts during the medieval age, which means that the Bretons - of celtic heritage - were not either.
Even the Scots, Irish and Gaelic peoples were not technically celts.
Considering the location of Brittany, why don´t you play as France?
Or, considering your "stater heritage", why not just play England?
