Quémènès

History
In 1292, two sailors, one Norman and one Bayonnais, quarreled over who would draw water from a well on the island first. The dispute ended in murder, probably of the Norman, and other Norman and French sailors began to assault Aquitainian & English shipping and ports. This eventually escalated into the 1294–1303 Gascon War, which ended in a general return to the status quo but whose financing provoked a clerical crisis leading to the Avignon Papacy and whose settlement terms produced the marriage leading to the Hundred Years' War.

Quémènès lies 2 nmi from Molène, the chief island of the archipelago.
