Hi Mike,
As to the origins of Brittany, I'm sure the authors of 'The British Settlement of Brittany: The First Bretons in Armorica' postulate that when Constantius Chlorus recaptured Britain, he may have transfered some of the Allectan units to the Tractus Armoricani. But, as you say, they postulate that. So far, I've seen no evidence of units being moved from Britain to Brittany.
I'm not sure what Andrew Pearson's quote from The Roman Shore Forts, p.63 has to do with this topic of British immigrants or units from Britain going to Germany. Could this perhaps refer to our Saxon Shore discussion?
