[EN] Breton people in La Rochelle, according to the oath to King of France in 1224.In 1224, when the city of La Rochelle came into the possession of King of France, after being under the power of the Plantagenet, the oath of allegiance to Louis VIII, signed by at least 1360 people, tell us about the composition of the population of La Rochelle in the early XIIIth century and the extent of the trade relations of the port city. Among foreigners in the city, the Bretons are the most numerous ethnic group, representing about one third of non-native people originating from a place more than a hundred kilometers from La Rochelle. The anthroponymic analysis and breakdown by category allow us to specify their number and identify a regular Breton immigration, probably since the creation of La Rochelle in 1137. The study of further evidence places this immigration in the political and economic context of the last decades of the XIIth century. The sea’s “brief”, the original writing of “The Roles of Oleron”, some stories about crusades and pilgrimages describing the sea routes frequented by Breton pilots, confirm contacts between La Rochelle and Britanny before 1224.
