Apologies if has been asked an answered.

Wolves from the Sea has a Breton Ally list on page 17 which it says ends around 931. It further says that beyond that point the Bretons fought in the Norman style.

If one wanted to create a Breton list during the Norman period would they simply use the Norman list or is the a Breton list to appear in Oath of Fealty?

cheers

Yes, the Norman. (or in Oath of Fealty probably the French).

However, the Breton troops in William the Conqueror's army (in England) are taken from the main Norman list, not treated as allies.

Thanks Richard

My surname is Briant and there is a castle/town Chateaubriant that comes into being in Brittany about 1015 I have often felt I should have a Breton list (and naming the generals after children and relatives - who happen to have suitable names like Hugh, Godfrey and Phillip with possibly a Roussel thrown in).

Building from the Norman list is fine with me at least until I see Fealty French.
