Bretons seem to share a lot of culture with the historical Bretons of real life, who are French. The only reason they have any "English" heritage is that Bretons (in real life) inhabited the lower Great Britain before the Saxon invasion. So you're right. Bretons are Bretons, who are French, and not Anglo-Saxons, who are English.
