61: Bretonnian Heroines | Warhammer Old World Lore
This time around we take a look at the heroines of Bretonnian the magical Damsels and Prophetesses of the grail and a rare female knight of the realm and Duchess. We start with a dive into the magical children of Bretonnia and how there are found, trained and their place in society, we then have a chat about a specific example of this with Élisse Duchaard, the prophetess of Brinne and her place in the world as the apprentice of the Fey Enchantress. Speaking of the Fey Enchantress we take a gander at the high priestess of the Lay, her operations in Bretonnia together with her seemingly iron fisted approach to the nobility. We close out the episode with a look at the other extreme of heroines with the Bretonnian Joan of Arc, Repanse de LyonesseChat with us on DiscordPatreonMerchandiseQuartermasterListen Ad-FreeSHOW IMAGES:Élisse Duchaard ART ¦ MINIFey Enchantress ART ¦ MINIRepanse de Lyonesse ART ¦ MINI

We start by exploring the roles the Grail Knights have in Bretonnian culture and the Virtues they can manifest, each based on one of the 14 madlads who unified the country.

59: Bretonnian Peasant Heroes | Warhammer Old World Lore
We start with a mysterious mystery of the Herrimaults (Eh-ree-Mau) which Cral gets straight away and Dar loses his temper. We explore what it takes to become a Hairy-Mole and what their day to day life is like, their relations with other peasants and their local nobility their Leaders are desperate to hold to account. We turn to the tale of perhaps the most famous of their number, Bertrand the Brigand of Bergerac, and how he is not a total rip off of Robin Hood. We close out the episode by looking at the other extreme of the peasant/noble interaction. The Fanatics that are the raucous murderous Grail Pilgrims, Serf’s who worship Grail Knights to the point that they may kill them and wear their trappings and bones to bring the favour of the Lady.

58: Bretonnian History Part 4 | Warhammer Old World Lore
We start this episode, eventually, with the return of the Skaven and the devastation the Red Pox has on the peasants and nobles alike. We turn our attention to the Affair of the False Grail and what exactly can go wrong when you claim to be a king, The Siege of Couronne sees the first strong alliance between the Bretonnians and the Elves of Ulthuan. The Dark elves take umbrage at this, attacking first at the command of the Witch King and a second time, The Crusade of Blood, when the witch Elves cut through Bretonnia and their way south. We close out the episode with a look at The Year of Woe where The forces of Tzeentch try their best to claim the treasures of Gille and the Grail Companions from the very founding of the country.Chat with us on DiscordPatreonMerchandiseQuartermasterListen Ad-FreeSHOW IMAGES:MaldredMousillonPrince Imrik of Calador

57: Bretonnian History Part 3 | Warhammer Old World Lore
Following on from the unification of Bretonnia by Gilles and his road men, we look at their eventual aging and death as they become legends. Gilles’ son Louis the Rash codifies the Code of Chivalry and we look at the creation of modern-day Bretonnia because of it… mostly turf wars, questing and problems with orcs. We join the Bretonnians on their crusade to free the old world from the forces of Sultan Jaffar (yes, we know) and follow them into Araby proper. We explore the key battles of the crusade and look at the sultan's increasingly chaos allied forces. The Bretonnians eventually return home leaving the ongoing crusade to the forces of the Old World and we close out with the Night of the Restless Dead, which is nice.Chat with us on DiscordPatreonMerchandiseQuartermasterListen Ad-FreeSHOW IMAGES:Map of the Old World & Southern RealmsMap of EstaliaMap of Araby
