  5. Title: Alain Canhiart From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Publication: Name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alain_Canhiart;
    Note: Alain Canhiart From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigationJump to search Alain Canhiart (died 1058) was the count of Cornouaille from 1020 to 1058. He was the son of Benoît de Cornouaille and the father of Hoël II, Duke of Brittany. His family name, Canhiart, is understood to be derived from the old Breton Kann Yac'h[a] and was translated into the Latin texts of his era as Bellator fortis. Life According to Paul Le Baud, Alain was a descendant of Rivallon Mur Marzou and therefore was a male-line descendant of the early kings of Brittany.[1] As Count of Cornouaille he inherited his regnal rights from the family that appears to have ruled the Cornouaille region of Brittany from about the 10th century.[b] His father Benoît (or Benedict) died between 1008 and 1029. He was the Count-Bishop of Cornouaille; he had been elected Bishop of Quimper around 990 and exercised the offices jointly but kept them separated.[c] His mother was Guigoëdon (or Guiguoedon); she was the daughter of Orscand le Grand, the Bishop of Vannes.[d] She was a member of the family of Alan I, King of Brittany.[e] Alain became Count of Cornouaille around 1020 when his father renounced this title. Alain's brother Orscand succeeded their father as Bishop of Cornouaille. At one point Alain supported rebels who opposed Alan III, Duke of Brittany. Alan III prevailed and punished Count Alain by confiscating his territories, in particular Belle-Île-en-Mer. Alain returned to the duke's good graces by facilitating his marriage to Berthe of Blois, the daughter of Count Odo; the duke allowed Alain to recover the property that had been seized that belonged to the dowry of Alain's mother. Alain married Judith of Nantes and through her gained a claim on the County of Nantes. In part as a result of his rising power, he was attacked by Alan III but was able to push back the duke's army in 1031 in a battle near Locronan. In this battle Alain was assisted by Saint Ronan. Alan III and Alain were again reconciled. After this second battle with the Duke of Brittany, Alain faced difficulties with his vassals in the Viscounty of Leon, most notably Guyomarch I. Guyomarch I allied with Morvan, Viscount of Faou, to oppose Alain. Alain was successful in putting down these revolts. Around 1029, after a serious illness, Alain founded the Abbey of Sainte-Croix of Quimperlé with the assistance of his brother Orscand, the bishop. He included Belle-Île in his donation to the abbey. In 1050, at the death of his wife's nephew, Matthew (Mathias) I of Nantes, Alain confirmed her inheritance and his rights to rule Nantes as regent for his son Hoel, the eventual Count of Nantes. Family Around 1026, Alain married Judith of Nantes, the daughter of Judicaël of Nantes, who became the heir to the County of Nantes after the death of her nephew, Matthew, in 1050. As was the custom of the period, under the dowry arrangements Alain obtained five villages in Quistillic and half of the church of Cluthgual with the sepulchre and all appertaining rights.[2][f] Alain and Judith had six children Hoël II – Count of Nantes, Count of Rennes, and eventually Duke of Brittany (jure uxoris) Guérech (Quiriac) (1030–1079) – elected Bishop of Nantes in 1059, consecrated 7 January 1061 Budic – died 1091 Hodiern – Abbess of Locmaria de Quimper Benoît – Abbot of the Abbey of Sainte-Croix de Quimperlé in 1066, elected Bishop of Nantes in 1079, consecrated in 1081; retired in 1114 and murdered in 1115 Orguen, or Agnes – wife of Odo I, Count of Penthièvre Death and succession Alain died in 1058. He was buried at Quimperlé. His tomb was destroyed during the French Revolution.[g] He was succeeded as Count of Cornouaille by his son Hoël. Notes translated from breton, vigorous combatant This Cornouaille region of Brittany is geographically distinct from the Cornwall region of England. Benoît held the joint title Count-Bishop, or Lord-Bishop during the era when Bishops were also lords and before the Roman Catholic church forced the separation of secular from ecclesiastical titles, rights and powers. In this era the Roman Catholic church had not yet imposed mandatory celibacy on its prelates, and bishops and priests alike frequently were married and had issue. Orscand had de facto control of the Vannetais region of Brittany at the end of the 10th century. Judith inherited Nantes from her nephew Mathias I of Nantes. Jacques Cambry states that his tomb contained an effigy along the traditions of the period representing Alain with a short sword, a shield and his arms.

    Note: HERIBERT [I] "Evigilans Canis/Eveille-chien" du Maine, son of HUGUES [III] Comte du Maine & his wife --- ([990/1000]-15 Feb [1032/35]). “Widdo Lononis filius” donated “Gaudiacus” to Saint-Pierre de la Couture, with the consent of “dominis meis Hugone atque Herberto comitibus et vice comite Radulpho eiusque filii” by undated charter dated to [1000/15][131]. He succeeded his father in [1014/15] as Comte du Maine. The Gesta Ambaziensium names "comes pernimium iuvenis Herbertus cognomento Evigilans Canem" as ruler of "Cenomannicum consulatum" during the life of Lizois de Basauges (see the document ANJOU)[132], which if correct suggests that Héribert must have been born during the later part of 10th century (which is consistent with the birth date range attributed to his son Hugues [IV], see below). The Actus pontificum Cenomannis names "Herberto, comite Cenomanensi" during the bishopric of "Avesgaudi" (from [997] to [1036]) and records disputes between the two[133]. Orderic Vitalis records that "Herbertus Cenommanorum comes ex prosapia (ut fertur) Caroli Magni originem", known as "Evigilans-Canem" because of his merit, after the death of “Hugonis patris sui”, whom “Fulco senior” [Foulques III Comte d´Anjou] had subjugated, attacked Anjou[134]. "Herbertus Evigilans canem cognomine" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Pierre-de-la-Cour du Mans after defeating "Odone Campaniensi…comite" by charter dated Jul 1016[135], which shows that Héribert must have reversed his father's policy of support for Eudes Comte de Blois (see above). The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records that Foulques "Nerra" Comte d'Anjou captured "Arbertum, Cenomannis comitem" at Saintes, "prima quadregismæ dominica post cœnam nocte" (7/8 Mar) according to a later passage, in 1029 according to the editor of the version consulted[136]. The Martyrologe de la Couture records the death "XV Kal Mar" of "Herbertus comes Cenom"[137]. m --- (-after 8 Mar [1029]). The name of Héribert's wife is not known. The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records that the wife of Foulques "Nerra" Comte d'Anjou attempted to capture "uxorem Arberti" on the same day her husband was captured but that she was able to escape[138]. Comte Héribert [I] & his wife had four children: 1. HUGUES [IV] du Maine ([1018/22]-26 Mar 1051). 2. GERSENDE du Maine ([1025/35]-). 3. PAULE du Maine ([1025/35]-). 4. BIOTE du Maine ([1025/35]-poisoned Falaise 1063).

  20. Title: Copy of Scots Peerage V2 - BRUCE, Earl of Carrick
    Publication: Name: https://archive.org/details/scotspeeragefoun02pauluoft/page/428/mode/1up;
    Note: History of the Bruce Earls of Carrick beginning with Adelm (Adam) De Brus in the 11th century (before 1080) down through Alexander de Brus (son of Edward, Earl of Carrick) who died in 1333; after which the earldom went to the Stewarts Pages 428 to 437 ADELM (or ADAM) DE BRUS, is said to have been the second son of Robert de Brus, a Norman knight, and Emma, daughter of Allan, Earl of Brittany. He is also said to have come to England before his father, perhaps as a page to Queen Emma, daughter of Richard, Duke of Normandy, and widow of King Ethelred II and King Canute. Sir George Mackenzie states that after that Queen's death he came to Scotland and got a grant of the lands of Bowden from Malcolm Ceannmor, but this is very doubtful, and there does not appear to be any record evidence for it. On William the Conqueror's invasion of England he joined that King, with whom his father had also come. His services were rewarded with a grant of the barony of Skelton and lordship of Cleveland, in Yorkshire. He died about 1080; he is said to have married Emma, daughter of Sir William de Ramsay, but this also is doubtful. He left issue, so far as is known: — 1. ROBERT. 2. William, the first Prior of Gisburne, who was buried there, 1155 ROBER DE BRUS succeeded his father in the barony of Skelton. There has been much confusion about this Robert through Dugdale confounding him with his grandfather, who bore the same name. He became a very powerful Baron, having no less than ninety-four lordships in Yorkshire, summed at fifteen knights' fees. He was a liberal benefactor to the Church, and along with the Earl of Huntingdon (afterwards David I) founded the Abbey of Selkirk, afterwards removed to Kelso. He had charters from David I, circa 1124, of the lands of Estrahanent, or Annandale. He married Agnes, daughter of Foulk de Paganell,2 and got with her the manor of Careton, in Yorkshire, and other lands. Of a second alleged marriage to Agnes de Annand there is no proof. He died in May 1141, leaving issue: 1. Adam, who succeeded in Skelton. 2. ROBERT, surnamed 'le meschin,' who succeeded in Annandale. 3. Pagan, supposed to have been the founder of the family of Bruce of Pickering. 4. Agatha, married to Ralph, son of Ribald, Lord of Middleham. ROBERT DE BRUSS, ' le meschin ' or the younger, the second son of his father, got from him his Scottish possessions of Annandale just before the battle of the Standard in 1138; they were both present at that engagement, but upon different sides, though the young possessor of Annandale was only fourteen. He is said to have been taken prisoner by his own father, who sent him to King Stephen, but that monarch courteously remitted him to his mother at Skelton. The whole affair was probably a family arrangement to prevent the lands, in the case of either side winning, from going out of the family by forfeiture. Robert de Brus had a grant of certain ands in Durham from his father, on a complaint made by him that he had no wheaten bread in Annandale; he had also a confirmation of the last-named territory from William the Lion, dated at Lochmaben, circa 1166. Brus married a lady whose Christian name was Euphemia. He died in 1194, leaving issue at least two sons: 1. Robert, married in 1183 Isabel, natural daughter of King William the Lion by the daughter of Robert Avenel. He died before his father in 1191, in which year his widow married Robert de Ros. 2. WILLIAM WILLIAM DE BRUS succeeded his father in Annandale about 1194. His wife's name was Christina, who survived him and married, after his death in 1215, Patrick, Earl of Dunbar, as his second wife. He had issue: 1. ROBERT. 2. William. 3. John ROBERT DE BRUS, surnamed 'the noble,' was one of 'magnates Scotie' who witnessed the marriage of King Alexander II with Johanna, sister of Henry III, at York. He married Isabel, second daughter of David, Earl of Huntingdon, younger brother of King Malcolm IV and King William; it was through this marriage that the succession to the Crown of Scotland came into the family of Bruce. Isabel became, in 1237, one of the co-heirs of her only surviving brother, John le Scot, in the earldom of Chester; but as this possession was seized by King Henry III, she was granted by him the manors of Hertfield and Wrettle, in Essex, and it was at a residence in the former parish that Brus and his wife chiefly resided. The former died 1245, and the latter, who was born 1206, died circa 1251. They were both buried at Saltre Abbey, near Stilton. They had issue: 1. ROBERT, 'the Competitor.' 2. Beatrice, who in 1221 was the wife of Hugo de Neville. ROBERT DE BRUS was born in 1210, and at the Convention at Roxburgh in 1255 he was appointed one of the Counsellors and Guardians to the King. He served on the side of King Henry III in the wars of the Barons, and after the battle of Evesham was appointed Governor of Carlisle Castle and Sheriff of Cumberland. After the death of King Alexander III in 1286, the Maid of Norway was, in default of heirs-male, proclaimed at Scone as Reine Heretiere and successor to her grandfather, she being then three years of age. Robert de Brus, however, assembled his friends and relations at Turnberry Castle, 20 September 1286, and set forth his claims to the Crown, saying that he could prove by witnesses then living that King Alexander III of Scotland, when childless, had declared him heir-presumptive to the Crown; that a female was incompetent to reign, and that his cousin, Devorgilla, the daughter of Margaret, the eldest daughter of David, Earl of Huntingdon, the common ancestor of many of the claimants, should be set aside in favour of himself, the son of Margaret's immediate younger sister, Isabella. This claim, however, was temporarily suspended, owing to the recognition of the Maid of Norway but in 1290, on the death of that Princess, Brus reasserted it, and took active steps towards having himself proclaimed King. This was stopped by the influence of Edward I, and ultimately Brus retired to his Castle of Lochmaben, and agreed that his claim should be tried along with those of the other Competitors by Edward as arbiter. After the award of the Crown to Baliol, Robert de Brus resigned to his son, Robert, Earl of Carrick, all his claim to the Kingdom of Scotland. This was on the morrow of St. Leonard, 5 November 1292. He was an old man by this time, and only lived a few years longer, dying before 3 May 1294. He married, first, in or before 1240, Isobel, second daughter of Gilbert de Clare, third Earl of Gloucester and Hereford. She was born 1226 and was only thirteen when married. By her, who was alive in 1284, he had issue: 1. ROBERT, who became Earl of Carrick 2. William, married Elizabeth, daughter and heir of Raymond de Sully. 3. Sir Bernard of Connington and Exton, married, first, Alicia de Clare, and, secondly, Constance de Morleyn. 4. Richard, died before 26 January 1286-87, and his lands were repledged to Robert Brus, his father. Robert de Brus,'the Competitor,' married, secondly, before November 1275, Cristiana, daughter of Sir William de Ireby, and widow of Thomas Lascelles and of Adam de Gesemuth. She had no issue by her third husband, whom she survived, but was dead in September 1305. ROBERT BRUCE, eldest son of 'the Competitor,' married, as her second husband, Marjorie, eldest daughter and heiress of her father Neil, Earl of Carrick, and so became Earl of Carrick jure uxoris. Their meeting has been differently related by various authors, but the main features of the story are always the same. On Bruce's arrival at Turnberry to convey to the lady the news that her husband, Adam de Kilconquhar, had been slain at Acre, he met the child widow hawking with her attendants. Having delivered his message, he was preparing to take leave, when she ordered her retainers to take him a prisoner to her castle, where, after an honorable captivity of a few days, they were married. These hasty and unauthorized espousals were nominally disapproved by the King, and a fine imposed. But as she could hardly have chosen a more unexceptionable husband, the pair were soon received into royal favour. The Countess Marjorie died in 1292, and Bruce, refusing to do homage to Baliol, handed over the earldom to his son (afterwards Robert I), and retired to Norway with his daughter Isabella for a time. On his father's death in 1294 he returned to England and had livery of his father's lands there and was appointed Governor of the Castle of Carlisle. He was summoned to the English Parliament as a baron (Lord Bruce) on 24 June 1295. He and his son Robert swore fealty to Edward 28 August 1296. He accompanied that monarch in his expedition to Scotland against Baliol in 1296, but claims to the throne being scouted by Edward, he again retired to England, residing chiefly at Broomeshoobury. He died shortly before 4 April 1304 and was buried at Holm Oultram. He had married as a second wife Alianora who is mentioned as his widow in 1305, and she married, in 1306, Richard de Waleys. By the Countess Marjorie he had issue: 1. ROBERT, afterwards King Robert I 2. Edward, of whom hereafter 3. Thomas, was wounded and taken prisoner by Sir Dougal MacDowal at Lochryan, and was brought by him to Carlisle Castle, where he was executed by order of King Edward I. 1306-7. 4. Alexander, suffered the same fate at the same time as his brother. It is said he was a learned man, had been educated at Cambridge, and was Dean of Glasgow. 5. Sir Nigel, sometimes called Neil, described as miles pulcherrime juventutis. After holding the Castle of Kildrummie for his brother, along with the Earl of Atholl, the fortress was set on fire, and he was compelled to surrender in September 1306. He was taken to Berwick, and there executed. 6. Isabel. She is generally said to have married Sir Thomas Randolph of Strathdon, Great Chamberlain to Alexander III and to have...

    Note: Alan III of Rennes (c. 997 – 1 October 1040) (French: Alain III de Bretagne) was Count of Rennes and duke of Brittany, by right of succession from 1008 to his death. Life Alan was the son of Duke Geoffrey I and Hawise of Normandy.[1] Alan succeeded his father as Duke of Brittany in 1008.[2] Because he was still a minor at his father's death, his mother acted as regent of Brittany [3] while her brother Richard II, Duke of Normandy assumed guardianship over Brittany.[4] Marriage In 1018 Alan married Bertha of Blois, daughter of Odo II, Count of Blois and his second wife Ermengarde of Auvergne.[1] Norman suzerainty When Richard III, Duke of Normandy died in August 1026, his brother Robert I succeeded him.[5] Alan apparently took advantage of the resulting turmoil to break free of Norman suzerainty.[4] In the early 1030s Robert I successfully attacked Dol and Alan's retaliatory raid on Avranches was repulsed causing continued raiding back and forth between them.[6] Facing an invasion from Normandy via land and from Duke Robert's fleet, Robert, Archbishop of Rouen (uncle of Hawise and Richard II) mediated a truce between his two great-nephews at Mont Saint-Michel where Alan swore fealty to his cousin Robert.[7] Guardian When he left Normandy for the Holy Land Robert I, Duke of Normandy appointed his cousin, Alan III, to be a guardian of his young son William.[a][8] Wars Alan III also assisted Herbert I 'Wake-Dog' in his wars with Avesgaud, Bishop of Le Mans and was with the count in his attack on Avesgaud's castle at La Ferté-Bernard destroying the castle and causing Avesgaud to flee.[9] Protector In 1037 at the death of Robert, Archbishop of Rouen, the protection of young William was now left to Alan III and his cousin Gilbert who tentatively held Normandy together.[10] They appointed Mauger to the now vacant see of Rouen and his brother William as count of Arques, attempting to gain their support for Duke William.[10] Death On 1 October 1040, while besieging a rebel castle near Vimoutiers in Normandy, Alan III suddenly died.[10] According to Orderic, he was poisoned by unnamed Normans.[b][11] Family By Bertha of Blois, he had three children: Conan II, (d. 1066), succeeded his father.[1] Hawise of Brittany, who married Hoel of Cornouaille.[1] After 14 May 1046 his widow Bertha married secondly Hugh IV, Count of Maine.[1] Ancestry See also: Dukes of Brittany family tree Ancestors of Alan III, Duke of Brittany Notes Among the guardians Duke Robert chose to watch over his son William were at least three family members. Alan III was probably selected as both a family member and one who would not expected to compete with young William. Gilbert, Count of Brionne was another grandson of Richard I who could be counted on for military support to aid William. Also the senior member of the family was Robert, Archbishop of Rouen who lent his powerful support to the young Duke William. See: Crouch, The Normans (2007). p. 60. Not long after the last of young Duke William's three powerful guardians, Gilbert 'Crispin' Count of Brionne, was himself assassinated while riding with friends. See: Crouch, The Normans (2007), p. 61; and Cokayne, The Complete Peerage IV, pp. 308–9.

  26. Title: Hoël II, Duke of Brittany From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Publication: Name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ho%C3%ABl_II,_Duke_of_Brittany;
    Note: Hoël II (c. 1031–1084) was Count of Kernev (French: Cornouaille, Breton: Kernev), from 1058 as Hoël V. On the basis of his marriage to Hawise, Duchess of Brittany,[1] in 1066, he became Duke of Brittany jure uxoris. Life Hoël was the son of Alain Count of Cornouaille and his wife, Judith of Nantes,[1] granddaughter of the illegitimate son of Alan II of Brittany. Hoël started the House of Kernev (Cornouaille) of Brittany,[a] which ruled the Duchy until 1156. Hoël became Count of Nantes in 1054. The title came to him through his mother's family. Matthew I of Nantes, Count of Nantes until his death in 1050, was the nephew of Hoël's mother, Judith of Nantes, the son of her only brother Budic of Nantes. Alain Canhiart seize the County in the name of his son Hoël in 1050, and held it as Regent for his son until 1054. Conan II, Duke of Brittany, attempted to seize Nantes in 1054 but was defeated. Hoël ruled the County of Nantes in his mother's name from this date until Judith's death in 1063. From 1063 onward he was Count of Nantes in his own right. Conan II, Duke of Brittany, died childless in December of 1066 and the duchy passed to his sister Hawise, Hoël's wife. Hawise became Duchess of Brittany and as her husband, Hoël became Duke of Brittany jure uxoris. Hawise died in 1072 and Hoël acted as regent for his son, Alan IV, until 1084. Little is known of the lives of Hawise and Hoël. However, this political marriage between the House of Rennes in the east and the House of Cornouaille in the west may have further strengthened Brittany at a time when external interference was attempted by William the Conqueror. During his reign he faced several rebellions from Breton nobles. Geoffrey Grenonat of Rennes (an illegitimate son of Duke Alan III of Brittany and half-brother of Hawise) led a revolt and was joined by Ralph de Gael[2] who had returned to Brittany from England after the failure of the previous year's Revolt of the Earls. In 1076, Ralph having plotted against Hoël, was besieged at Dol. William the Conqueror came to Hoël's aid, after which Hoël finally made peace with Ralph.[3] Marriage and children Hoël and Hawise had: Alan IV,[1] succeeded to the duchy of Brittany Matthew, succeeded to the county of Nantes.[4] Notes The Cornouaille region of Brittany is distinct from the Cornwall region of Britain.

    Note: ALAIN de Bretagne ([997]-poisoned Montgommery 1 Oct 1040). A charter dated 1026 recalls that "Gaufridus, Conani Curvi filius" was killed "apud Concuruz prelium", stating that "quo defuncto, Alanus filius eius…renum patris suscipiens", witnessed by "Alanus comes…Heudo frater eius"[138]. Guillaume of Jumièges names “Emma...secunda Hadvis...tertia Mathildis” as the three daughters of Richard and his wife “Gunnor ex nobilissima Danorum prosapia ortam”, adding that Havise married “Goiffredo Britannorum comiti” by whom she had “Alanum et Eudonem duces”[139]. He succeeded his father in 1008 as ALAIN III Duke of Brittany.

The Flandria Generosa names "Berta comitissa" daughter of "altera Ermengardis comitissa", when outlining the basis for the consanguinity between Baudouin VII Count of Flanders and his wife Havise de Bretagne which constituted grounds for the couple's separation[147]. She married secondly (after 14 May 1046) Hugues IV Comte du Maine (-26 Mar 1051).

Orderic Vitalis records that "Hugo filius Herberti", after the death of "Alannus Britannorum comes" who was poisoned “a Normannis in Normania”, married “Bertam ipsius relictam, Tedbaldi Blesensium comitis sororem”[149]. Her second marriage is confirmed by the Chronicon Ruyensis Cœnobii which records the death in 1062 of "Herbertus Cenomannensium Comes et frater uterinus Conani ducis"[150]. "Berta comitissa Alani Redonensis ducis uxor" donated property to Sainte-Croix de Quimperlé, for the souls of "filie nostre Hadeuis comitisse Hoelis ducis Britannie conjugis et…filiorum suorum, meorum…nepotum Alani et Mathie", by charter dated 1075, signed by "Alanus nothus filius Conani comitis…familiars comitisse Haduis neptis mee…"[151].
