General Notes:

SOME SOURCES SHOW NOMINOE DUKE OF (L) BRITTANY'S WIFE AND THE MOTHER OF ERISPOE DUKE OF (L) BRITTANY AS ARGENTAL (NOTES) (L) BRETAGNE.

 

OTHER SOURCES SHOW NOMINOE'S WIFE AS FRODALDUS (NOTES) COUNT OF (L) BRITTANY.

 

THIS LAST NAME FOR NOMINOE'S WIFE SEEMS LIKE A MALE NAME BUT THAT'S WHAT SOME SOURCES SHOW

 

I'VE COMBINED THE TWO POSSIBLE WIVES INTO ONE HERE AND USED FRODALDUS AS AN AKA FOR ARGENTAL.

 

I MAY BE WRONG.

 

ALSO, SOME SOURCES SHOW THIS GENERATION (THAT I SHOW AS ONE HERE), AS TWO GENERATIONS WITH VERY SIMILAR NAMES.

General Notes:

Dam Labiueau (History of Brittany, p. 106) tells us that "The House of the Viscounts De Leon was illustrious from the tenth century. Even, Lord of that country-the terror of the Normans-built the town which was called after him, Liz-u-Eveu-that is, the Court or Fort of Even. Ekuara, Viscount De Leon after him, was the father of Guihomar. The latter, in the year 1021, held the rank of Viscount De Leon (Chartulary of Kemperlu and of Rennes, pp. 98 and 130). At that time, in Brittany and Normandy, it was the highest title conferred-the style of Count being reserved for members of the sovereign house-and to it waa annexed a kind of palatine jurisdiction, extending over a large territory. He was succeeded by Mar van, Viscount de Leon. His successor was Guihomar II, Viscount de Leon, who gave to God and St. Jlelanie, and to the Monks thereof, for ever, the Church of St. Mary of Morlaix, together with other benefits. He was slain by treachery in the year 1103 (see Charters of Daoullas, Lob. Preuves, p. 128; and Breton Chron. of Nantes, Bouq. xii. p. 557). Harvey, Viscount De Leon, was his son and successor. He was a very valiant knight, says the Chronicler, and fought in many famous battles in England and in other places, and lost an eye in the wars (Guilelm. Armoric. Bouq. xii.).

Notes for Guyomarch:

General Notes:

Pontrieux - the bridge over the Trieux - a town of about sixteen hundred inhabitants, built on both sides of the river from which it takes its name. It is a well-built little town, and we found tolerably good quarters in a very large old house, where we both slept in the same room, which was about twenty-five feet square. Before going to bed we walked to the site of an old castle, which overlooks the town. It was called Chateaulin, and was built to command the passage of the river. In the twelfth century we find a bishop taking it by assault. Hervé, Viscount of Leon, and Guiomark, his son, fell into an ambuscade set for them by the Viscount of Faou, who imprisoned them in this castle. But a very short time elapsed before Hamon, Bishop of Leon, made his appearance before Chateaulin; and the tables were soon turned. For his reverence took the place by assault, delivered the captives, and sent off the Viscount of Faou and his men to his dungeons at Daoulas, where he thought fit to let them perish by famine, just by way of a hint to others, to teach them what it was to offend the Bishop of Leon. The remains of Chateaulin, which was finally destroyed by Pierre de Rohan in the fifteenth century, who at the same time took and sacked the town, are very 420 TEMPLE DE LANLEFF.

Notes for Count Hervey:

General Notes:

 

Count Hervey was also known as the Viscount of Leon also as Fitz-Hervey also as Hervé, Viscount of Leon,

Also Hervey, count of brittany

Of the same lineage was Count Hervey, a Briton, a famous soldier,1i and Governor

of the castle of the Devizes, in the reign of King Stephen, which he held out against

the Earl of Gloucester, and powerfully assisted that king in his wars with Maud, the

Empress; but was at length forced to retire beyond the seas »ith a few attendants

 

Count Hervey of Brittany, Stephen’s son-in-law, took over the castle, but the local townspeople had become so disenchanted by the activities of Fitzhugh that in 1141 they besieged the castle and eventually forced Hervey to surrender to Matilda’s forces. By this stage Stephen had been captured at Lincoln and Matilda had been proclaimed Queen although she was never crowned. In gratitude to the people of Devizes she granted them freedom from certain tolls, which in effect gave them the right to hold a regular market.

 

 

It was alleged that Henry I begged him to visit England, but that he was so great and haughty a noble that he never condescended to do so, until he came over for the love of Stephen. He was with that King at Oxford in June 1139, when his men are said to have been attacked by those of the Bishop of Salisbury in the fracas which led to the arrest of the bishops. Stephen gave him his (almost certainly illegitimate) daughter to wife. He was created, before or early in 1140, EARL OF WILTSHIRE. He may have been again with the King at Oxford early in 1140, in which year the castle of Devizes was handed over to him by its garrison, after they had been heavily bribed by Stephen; but in 1141 he was besieged there by the common people, and after a long siege he was forced to surrender and withdrew from England. It was certainly held that his earldom then reverted to the Crown. He continued to rule in Léon, and although he had lost his English earldom he continued to assume comital rank; for about 1157 he styled himself comes in a charter, in which he refers to his father as vicecomes. He married, in or (more probably) before 1140, (----), daughter (almost certainly illegitimate) of STEPHEN, KING OF ENGLAND. Nothing is known of her, but it is likely that she died long before her husband. It is not known if he married again. He died in 1168 in Brittany. [CP 12[2]"727-9]

Notes for Guy de Yuon:

General Notes:

When Charles de Blois at length found that the town could not be carried by assault, he determined to make an effort to take it by a regular siege; and accordingly, dividing his army, he left a portion of it under Lord Louis of Spain to carry on the siege, while he drew off the other part with him to attack the castle of Auray. The Lord Louis, impatient under a mere blockade, sent immediately for twelve large military engines which had been left at Rennes, to batter down the walls of the town of Hennebon. Under these powerful machines the walls began to crumble, and the inhabitants were quickly disposed to listen openly to propositions for a surrender; but the countess, entertaining suspicions of the good faith of the bishop, Guy de Leon, who took an active part in the matter, and who had been treating secretly for the surrender of the town with his nephew Sir Hervey de Leon, a distinguished leader of the opposite side, begged the Breton lords, for the love of Heaven, not to desert her then, for she would receive reinforcements within three days.
