=== Life Sketch ===
Canao II - died 635
Upon the death of Gregory of Tours in 594, no more information on Bro Erech is available. It seems likely that the principality is united with Domnonia under Judicaël, whose great-grandmother seems to have been Triphine, daughter of Waroch. Bro Erech is likely to be Judicaël's inheritance after the death of Canao II.
However, Bro Erech's land seems to be divided at some point, and for a time may not even be under Brittany's control. The Frankish 'Breton March' at Nantes has been designed to contain the Bretons, with Rennes and Vannes included in this borderland. It is only with Brittany's resurgence in the ninth century that these areas are regained fully by the Bretons. It appears to be this period in which the southern part of Bro Erech around Vannes and its northern part around Rennes both gain their own separate lines of counts. As the former heart of Bro Erech, Vannes is shown here as an eventual continuance, whilst Rennes is shown separately.
