An interesting point to note is that near Brittany (the area from which the Bretons of France come) is Normandy, which was originally settled by immigrating Vikings (Norse Men -> Normand -> Normandy). Could be similar to how Skyrim border High Rock, or the existence of the Bretonic Reach in west Skyrim.
