Lannion, France - Rue de Treguier
Lannion, France - Rue de Treguier. The cross (lower left) marks the spot where the heroic Breton nobleman Geoffroy de Pont-Blanc died in the defense of Lannion against the English in 1346, during the Breton War of Succession. This was a conflict between the Houses of Blois and Montfort for control of the Duchy of Brittany, fought between 1341 and 1364, which formed an integral part of the early Hundred Years War (due to the involvement of the French and English governments in the conflict). Date: circa 1910s

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Rue de Treguier in Lannion, France, with its cobblestone streets and picturesque houses that have stood the test of time. The image transports us back to an era long past, as we gaze upon the ancient cross (lower left) that marks a significant historical event. This cross serves as a poignant memorial to the heroic Breton nobleman, Geoffroy de Pont-Blanc, who lost his life in the defense of Lannion against the English during the Breton War of Succession in 1346. The Breton War of Succession was a conflict between the Houses of Blois and Montfort for control of the Duchy of Brittany, which took place between 1341 and 1364. This struggle formed an integral part of the early Hundred Years War, as both the French and English governments became involved in the conflict. Geoffroy de Pont-Blanc, a valiant Breton knight, made the ultimate sacrifice to protect his people and his land. His memory lives on through this humble cross, which stands as a testament to the rich history of Lannion and the resilience of its people. The cross, with its intricate carvings and weathered surface, speaks to the passage of time and the enduring legacy of the past. As we admire the beauty of this historic street, we are reminded of the events that unfolded here centuries ago. The Rue de Treguier in Lannion continues to be a living testament to the past, inviting us to explore the stories and secrets that lie hidden within its cobblestones and ancient walls.
