From 1320 to 1862, Broons was the birthplace of 5 famous people

Bertrand du Guesclin (Constable of France) is the best known by our measure: 35 Wikipedia and sister-site articles in different languages. Next come Charles Rathier and Gabriel Henri René de Neuville.

5 people born in Broons have a French Wikipedia article that confirms the town as their birthplace (and an English one that agrees, when there is one). Wikidata places 8 people here; the rest aren’t listed because an article names somewhere else or no town, or a check couldn’t be completed.

Among its famous people, leaders: 2 of the 5. That is 40% of the town’s list, against 24% across French towns.

Bertrand du Guesclin, born in 1320. The youngest on the list was born in 1862.

People whose Wikidata birthplace is Broons itself, matched by its INSEE code (a commune merged into it counts when the dates allow), whose French Wikipedia article agrees, and their English article too when they have one. A hospital or neighbourhood recorded without its commune isn’t matched. People who only lived here, adult performers and people known mainly for crimes aren’t listed.

Their Wikidata birthplace may be a hospital, a neighbourhood or a wider area, another commune, or missing, or their articles may not name a birthplace. We only list people the sources agree on; editing Wikidata or Wikipedia changes this page at the next refresh.
