Breton

The Bretons are a Celtic ethnic group native to the historical region of Brittany.
They trace much of their heritage to groups of Brittonic speakers who emigrated from southwestern Britainnia, particularly Cornwall and Devon, mostly during the Anglo-Saxon invasion of Britain.
They migrated in waves from the 3rd to 9th century (most heavily from 450 to 600) into Armorica, which became known as the Breton Lands.
