The Kingdom of BrittanyPositioned to the far east of Armorica or within the borders of Cornouaille according to varying sources. Set up by the new wave of British settlers during the mid-fifth century, Poher was a minor principality which seemed to change hands a great deal from the sixth century onwards between Britons and Franks, after Blois had fallen in 491 and the Frankish border closed up to the Vannetais (Brittany) area.
