These public displays of attachment reinforce the alliance between the Breton people and the French. The "Marie de la Cordelière" episode (10 August 1512), during the war against England, shows that the two peoples were coming closer together, even though some Bretons were reluctant to fight for "an excommunicated monarch". At the Battle of St. Mathieu a united Franco-Breton fleet fought the English marine, with the warship "Marie de la Cordelière", flying the Breton pavilion, in front.
