The barons in Brittany did not feel that they were in any way vassals of the duke, owing him service in exchange for their lands, and only attended the ducal courts when they felt it was in their own interests to do so.
Bretagne'i parunid ei tundnud, et nad olid mingil moel hertsogi vasallid, teenides teda vastutasuks nende maade eest, ja osalesid hertsogi kohtutes vaid siis, kui nad tundsid, et see on neile kasulik.
