In 1464, in more peaceful times, a priest from this region named Jehan Langadeuc wrote the Catholicon, the world's first trilingual dictionary. The last independent duke of this region, Francis II, lost the Battle of Saint-Aubin-du-Cormier during the so-called "Mad War" and had to sign the Treaty of Verger. The 1364 Battle of Auray allowed John de Montfort to seize control of this region at the end of its War of Succession.
