Duchess of Brittany
The Duchess of Brittany was a historical title held by the female rulers of the Duchy of Brittany, a region in northwestern France. Notably, Anne of Brittany, who lived in the late 15th and early 16th centuries, is famous for her dual marriages to two French kings, which helped secure Brittany's autonomy while also integrating it into the French crown. The duchy played a significant role in the political landscape of medieval France, and the title symbolizes both the rich cultural heritage of Brittany and the complex relationships between regional powers and the French monarchy.
