Background
The capital district was originally based in Catraeth, Rheged as the home of Urien. Breton history lingers with the story of one Peter Thompson, who supposedly discovered the tomb of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table under the castle crypt. He is said to have found a horn and a poltergeist resulted when lifting Excalibur.[2] The Capital District is an imprecise regional definition (much like Upstate New York) that generally refers to the four counties surrounding Albany, the capital of New York: Schenectady County, Albany County, Saratoga County and Rensselaer County. ...

Tenants After the Conquest of 1066, Breton Richmond in the Province of York was an important mediaeval hub, of comparable scope to Norman London in the Province of Canterbury. Breton people moved to the honour in a very large migration, after having expelled its locals to the Scottish Marches. The honour originally composed of 440 manors, with over 1,000 soldiers in retinue and comprising about 20% of England owned when the Domesday Book was compiled. Richmondshire became the residence of Gallo speakers while Breton speakers (such as Ralph the Staller, Ralph de Guader and the House of Rohan's Baron Zouche) were their lieutenancy in East Anglia, with the Cornish people also initially included. Onomastics reveal that choice Breton birth names in the honour were Alured, Gurwant, Guihomar, Harscoet, Herve, Hoel, Roald and Rualent. The East Anglian surname Brett is from Brittany.[4] Richmond preserved its nascent Breton nationalism throughout the English Reformation, featured in Jesuit movements such as the Pilgrimage of Grace, Rising of the North, Ridolfi plot and Babington Plot.
