=== Life Sketch ===
Judith of Nantes (died 27 February 1063) was titular Countess of Nantes from 1051 to her death in 1063.
Judith was the daughter of Judicaël of Nantes and the sister of Budic of Nantes. She married Alain Canhiart, Count of Cornouaille, around 1026.
After the death of Judith's nephew, Matthew I of Nantes, the only son of Budic of Nantes, Alain Canhiart managed to seize the County of Nantes in the name of their son Hoël, in spite of Duke Conan II's claims.
In 1054, Conan vainly tried to seize Nantes and had to accept defeat. Hoël ruled the County of Nantes in his mother's name from this date. He first concluded his reconciliation with Conan II by marrying his sister Hawise before 1058. In 1059, he imposed his younger brother Guerech as Bishop of Nantes to replace Airard, a reformative cleric and Abbot of Saint Paul Outside the Walls, who had been chased by the inhabitants of Nantes as early as 1051.
Judith died on the 27th of February 1063.
Judith married Alain Canhiart, Count of Cornouaille in 1026. They had the following children:
1.) Hoël, Count of Nantes, Cornouaille, and Duke of Brittany jure uxoris
