The Bretons were fairly involved in William's Conquest of England, and several Breton lords moved to England. Its possible that they carried their love of the Arthurian legend with them and bolstered the tale's popularity on the island.

So, what if England were conquered by the Bretons instead of the Normans? Obviously, there would need to be some prior PODs, as Normandy was much more unified and powerful than Brittany was.

A few likely results:
- England/English becomes more Celtic (assuming those names are even retained).
- England might be less embroiled in French politics, since the English kings would not be simultaneously dukes of French territories.
- Brittany might remain independent of France.
