"Andreas dominus Vitrei" donated property to Sauvigny, with the consent of "fratribus meis Alano, Roberto, Joscelino", by charter dated to [1175/84][884]. "Andreas dominus de Vitri" donated property to the Knights Templars and the Knights Hospitallers, while travelling "in Terram Sanctam", by charter dated Aug 1184[885]. Constance Duchess of Brittany relinquished her claims against the land of Vitré in view of the good service of "domino Andræ de Vitreio" by charter dated 1198[886]. "Andreas dominus Vitreii" donated property to Notre-Dame de Vitré, for the souls of "Roberti...patris mei et Alani de Dinnano fratris mei", with the consent of “Robertum fratrem meum”, by charter dated 1199[887]. An order of King John dated 7 Nov 1202 granted safe passage for a visit to "Andr de Vitreio et Emme matris sue"[888]. The Scripta de Feodis of King Philippe II, dated to the early 13th century, record “...Andreas de Vitreio...” among “milites Britanniæ”[889]. "Alanus comes, Henrici comitis filius" granted letters of assurance to "domino Andreæ de Vitreio", with the consent of "Henrico filio meo et Alici uxori eius", by charter dated 1209[890].

Le Baud records that André married firstly “Matilde fille Geoffroy de Mayenne et de Constance la fille du Duc Conan le Gros de Bretagne...” and the annulment of the marriage in [1189] because of the couple’s consanguinity[894]. The primary source which confirms this information has not been identified. She married secondly Thibaut de Mathefelon. Her parentage and second marriage are confirmed by the charter dated to [1204] under which her son "Theobaldus de Mathefelon" ratified donations to Fontaine-Daniel by "dominus Juhellus de Meduana…avunculus meus"[895]. [m secondly ENOGUEN de Léon, daughter of [GUYOMAR [IV] Vicomte de Léon & his wife Nobilis ---]. Le Baud records that André married secondly “Guen sœur de Guyomar et de Hervé Seigneurs de Leon” by whom he had “une fille...Emme”[896].

No primary source has been identified which confirms the name of Emma’s mother. If Enoguen existed, the chronology suggests that she would have been much younger than her supposed brothers, presumably born towards the end of her father’s life, unless she was a widow at the time of the marriage to André de Vitré.] m [secondly/thirdly] EUSTACHIE, daughter of --- (-before 7 Dec 1209).

Le Baud records that André married fourthly “Luce fille de Monseigneur Foulques surnommé Paynel Seigneur de Hambie”[900]. “Dominus Fulco Paaignel, attornatus loco domine Lucie filie sue uxoris Andree de Vitreio” claimed “terciam partem hereditagii viri sui in dotem in Normannia quam in Brittania” from “domino Aelardo de Briton[aria]”, guardian of “filium antenatum eiusdem Andree”, dated to 1211[901]. "Foulques Paynel, frère de Luce Paynel, veuve d´André II de Vitré" demanded the return of the dowry of his sister, by charter dated [29 Sep] 1211[902].
