Excerpt from A Guide to Jersey and Guernsey: Including the Neighbouring Islands of Alderney, Serk, Herm, and Jethou
Mezeray, in his History of France, mentions a division of Gaul into provinces, under Octavius Caesar and a sub division of Normandy into presidencies. These ten nations, says another French historian, together with the inhabitants of the islands lying near them, were known in Celtic Gaul by the name of the League of the eleven Cities. Thus we have historic proof that these Islands were inhabited by the Romans.
