  === Life Sketch ===
  The Annales Bertiniani record that "Guntfridus et Gozfridus" defected to "Salomonem, Britonum ducem" in 861, and persuaded Louis ("le Bègue"), son of Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks, to join them in 862, although they also record that King Charles II pardoned "Gozfridum et Roricum atque Heriveum" in 863[45]. The Annales Bertiniani record that "Hugo abba et Gauzfridus cum Transsequanis" fought "Nortmannis in Ligeri" in 869, and that "Hugo abba monasterii sancti Martini et Gozfridus cum ceteris Trans-Sequanis" attacked “Nortmanni” at their stronghold in “insulam Ligeris” in 871 but were defeated[46]. No record has yet been identified which links Geoffroy with the administration of the county of Maine or accords him the title count. The Annales Bertiniani record that in 878 "filii Gozfridi" attacked "castellum et honores filii Odonis" which King Louis “le Bègue” granted to "isdem Gozfridus...[et] filios suos" who abandoned “partem Brittonibus” and swore allegiance to the king[47]. Flodoard's Historia Remensis Ecclesiæ names "Gozlino…Bernardo nepote ipsius…fratrem…suum Gozfridem", referring to Bernard Marquis of Septimania and his rebellion dated to [877], from the context implying that Gauzfrid had recently died[48]. m ---. The name of Geoffroy’s wife is not known. Geoffroy & his wife had children:
  i) sons . The Annales Bertiniani record that in 878 "filii Gozfridi" attacked "castellum et honores filii Odonis" which King Louis “le Bègue” granted to "isdem Gozfridus...[et] filios suos" who abandoned “partem Brittonibus” and swore allegiance to the king[49]. No further information has been found concerning these sons.
