Maldred and Malfleur, despite shutting themselves up within their castle, shared the same fate as the majority of the wretched inhabitants of Mousillon and perished in the plague.

Bretonnia is renowned as a land with a code of conduct that must be followed by all those with noble blood. Turning to the Venators, he angrily shouted out that the Tilean lances were longer than the Bretonnian ones, to which a Tilean lady replied from the pavilion, "Yes we know!The basic principle of the feudal system is that those lower on the social ladder among the peasantry are often serfs tied to their lands by law and custom that must provide the goods and services they produce as subsistence tenant farmers to those of higher status in the nobility in exchange for military protection and certain legal rights and privileges. Since there were hardly any Bretonnian ladies present, the pavilion was full of the fine ladies of Ravola and Miragliano who had come to watch the spectacle.

For over sixty years the war continued, draining Bretonnia of its finances, leaders, and entire generations of knights.The greenskins had lived within the lands alongside the Bretonni for many years, and as is normal for these foul creatures, their population eventually reached critical levels, and began to overrun the Bretonni lands in a seething green tide. Glanborielle - Glanborielle was a Bretonni dukedom that was ravaged by war during the Dark Age of Bretonnia.

The first Royarch of Bretonnia battled dark forces all across the realms for many years until he finally fell in a mighty battle by a cowardly weapon shot from afar. There was much wailing, lamentation and gnashing of teeth throughout the lands, as all Bretonnia mourned the passing of their first king. The heralds explained the rules of the joust to the Tileans, who were not greatly versed in this Bretonnian custom.

However, the lords of each dukedom had not the time to properly gather their knights into a single unified force.

The Grail Companions each took out a Dark Champion of the army, with the battle ending when Duke Landuin struck down the sorcerer who was controlling the undead warriors, destroying nearly half the enemy army, forcing the beastmen to retreat. Like their kin within the lands of the Empire, they displaced both the greenskins and human earth-worshippers, thus soon becoming the dominant culture west of the grey mountains. Such was the overbearing pride and arrogance of the Bretonnians that one of them, the Baron du Bors, declared that the Bretonnians were better knights than the Tileans and so the Tileans should just hand over Ravola and be done with it! By the time the ships made landfall on the shores of Bretonnia, Hellebron's crusade had shrunk to near half its initial size.Without her backing, it was difficult for the Grail Knights to denounce Maldred for dishonour and declare war on him. This ancient and legendary uniter was Duke Gilles le Breton, the newly crowned Duke of Bastonne, the famous knight who personally slew the red wyrm Smearghus, deep within the forest of Chalons. As a result, they are a haven for beastmen and similar foul creatures, or for cultists of the Ruinous Powers. There are stories of whole cities of beastmen in the depths of the Arden, and whilst there is no evidence for this implausible idea, it is not impossible; no one knows enough about the forest interior to say the cities are not there. Malekith stirred up such carnage that King Charlen was forced to leave many coastal fortresses undefended to quell the tumult in his heartlands.
