Situated on the banks of the Loch, Auray is a picturesque city, known in history for the battle fought in 1364 between Jean de Montfort and Charles de Blois, during which Du Guesclin was taken prisoner.
Note that the commercial ports in Brittany are not situated directly on the coast, but further inland, most probably for reasons of security, but also to be closer to the areas where cereal is grown, one of the major exports of the region.
Among the hired soldiers from Auray, who for the most part would not start families on the other side of the Atlantic, particular mention must be made of Francois Richard.
