Talk:Armorica

From IBWiki

The Armorican Islands, or Jersey *here*, were once part of the duchy of Britanny *here*. How did they achieve independence *there*? Seth 8:05, 9 June 2006 (PST)

The Armorican Isles, or The Channel Islands *here*, were once part of the duchy of Normandy *here*. However they never were *there* and didn't have anyone to declare independence against. I would point you towards the history page on the Arvorec site, but it's down at the moment I'm afraid :(. Simply put, the Isles were colonised by religious dissenters in the fifth century, where they established an independent kingdom. Through various conquests, wars and occupations, this kingdom (or pair of kingdoms, strictly) has survived up to the present day. Deiniol 04:43, 9 June 2006 (PDT)
