Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a rich exploration of the history of Aleth, an ancient city that once stood at the mouth of the Rance River in Brittany. The author delves into the city's origins, tracing its roots back to the Roman era and examining its significance as a stronghold against barbarian invasions. The book also sheds light on the establishment of the bishopric of Aleth, the construction of the city's cathedral, and the controversies surrounding the transfer of the episcopal seat to the neighboring town of Saint-Malo. Additionally, the author analyzes the legendary accounts of Charlemagne's campaigns in Brittany, particularly the siege and destruction of Aleth by the emperor's Frankish army. Drawing on a wealth of historical sources, including the fascinating Roman d'Aquin, the book offers a comprehensive and engaging account of Aleth's rise, fall, and enduring legacy in the annals of Breton history.
