Gwened, Bro Gwened (Standard (ブルトン語:Bro-Wened)), or Vannetais ((フランス語:Pays Vannetais)) is a historic realm and county of Brittany in France. It is considered part of Lower Brittany.〔"AM". ("Gwened (Vannes/Vannetais)" in ''Celtic Culture: A Historical Encyclopedia'', Vol. I, p. 860 ). ABC-CLIO (Sta. Barbara), 2006.〕 Bro Gwened was an early medieval principality or kingdom around Vannes in Armorica (Brittany), lasting from around 490 to around 635. It was peopled by Christianized Britons fleeing the Saxon invasions of Britain, who displaced or assimilated the remaining pagan Veneti Gauls. Its bishop and (usually) court was at Gwened, the site of the former Roman settlement of Darioritum and the present French city of Vannes. Today, its territories are included within the modern French department of Morbihan. ==Name== The Breton placename ' ((ラテン語:plebs)) initially meant a tribe,〔Baring-Gould, pp. 91–92.〕 but came to signify its territory as well. The standard Breton form of the name mutates Gwened, the Breton name for Vannes, while the local dialect leaves it unchanged as "Bro-Gwened". The modern French name derives from adjectival form of Vannes. Both ' and ''フランス語:Vannes''〔 reflect separate developments of the Latin ''ラテン語:Veneti'', the Romans' name for the Gaulish tribe in the area. (It is unrelated to the Welsh realm and county of Gwynedd, which developed from Latin ''ラテン語:Venedotia''.〔) The historic realm was also known as Bro Erec ((ブルトン語:Bro-Ereg), "land of Gwereg") or Bro Waroch (from the gallicisation of the same name) or by numerous variant spellings, although it is unclear whether the namesake Gwereg was Waroch I or II. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bro Gwened」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
