Avranches

Avranches is situated at the southern end of the Cotentin Peninsula and covers an area of approximately 14 acres.

The town was founded on high ground overlooking the dunes and coastal marshes along the bay forming the corner between the peninsulas of the Cotentin and Armorica. From Avranches, it is possible to see Saint Michael's Mountain.

Industry & Trade

Sheep and cattle from the expansive grazing lands of the Cotentin. The city exports fine cloth, an industry overseen by guilds just as cut-throat as the fishing clans of the City of Kemperle.

History

By the end of the Roman period, the settlement of Ingena, capital of the Abrincatui tribe, had taken the name of the tribe itself - civitas of the Abrincatui.
In 866, by the Treaty of Compiègne, Charles the Bald  gave the town and the Avranchin region to Salomon , King of the Bretons.
