Yes, historically (I believe) Bretons were used as crossbowmen by numerous Norman kings, William the Conqueror used them during his invasion of Britain for instance, hence the Norman feudal age feel to the names of High Rock Bretons. I suppose that interbreeding between different groups of men led to the more barbaric Reachmen who are clearly Celtic due to their names, and in my opinion their use of war paint, which I would argue is used as a substitiute to woad (may be wishful thinking on a Welshman's part though).
