From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Geoffrey I of Rennes (980 – November 20, 1008) was duke of Brittany, from 992 to his death. He was son of Duke Conan I and Ermengarde of Anjou, whose parents were Geoffrey I of Anjou and Adele of Meaux.

Emma married Ives, Vicomte de Cotentin.

---

Geoffrey's mother is Conan's first wife (name not known).

From Cokayne's "Complete Peerage", in the article on Richmond:

"In the 11th century and the early part of the 12th the rulers of Brittany styled themselves indifferently "Duke" or "Count"; thereafter "Duke" became the rule. The English chancery, however, as also the Papal

and French, continued to use the older style of "Count". In the present article the term "Duke" has been used throughout in order to avoid confusion with the comital style applied to other members of the

family."

Per Galliou and Jones' "The Bretons", when Geoffrey departed for Rome on

a pilgrimige from which he never returned, he left his sons, ALAIN and EUDES under the protection of RICHARD II, DUKE OF NORMANDY (RIN 1306), who also proffered assistance during the last Viking attack on the duchy in 1013-14. Later, under ROBERT I (RIN 1323) (1027-35), relations between Brittany and Normandy deteriorated, but were eventually patched up.

Bibliographie [modifier]

Geoffroi Ier est l'héritier du duché de Bretagne et du comté de Rennes à la mort de son père Conan Ier en 992. Après avoir vaincu en 994 le jeune comte Judicaël de Nantes, il oblige ce dernier à venir lui rendre hommage. Il prend alors en 995 le titre de duc de Bretagne. Pour assurer son pouvoir sur le Nantais, après les morts simultanées en 1004 de l’évêque Hervé et du comte Judicaël de Nantes, il fait élire un chevalier rennais comme nouvel évêque de Nantes : Gauthier II (1004-1041).

Geoffroi Ier meurt le 20 novembre 1008 en revenant d’un pèlerinage à Rome sur le tombeau des apôtres[1].

Geoffrey I of Rennes (980 – November 20, 1008) was duke of Brittany, from 992 to his death. He was son of Duke Conan I and Ermengarde of Anjou, whose parents were Geoffrey I of Anjou and Adele of Meaux.

He married Hawise of Normandy, daughter of Richard I of Normandy and an unknown mistress. It was by this marriage that all subsequent descendent's would be related to William the Conquer. Hawise was William's half sister.

Dynastic alliance with Normandy

Duke Geoffrey I of Brittany entered into a dynastic alliance with Duke Richard II of Normandy in a diplomatic double marriage between the two houses by 1003. The church-sanctioned marriage ceremonies were held at Mont St-Michel on the Breton-Norman border; with Geoffrey I marrying Hawise, Richard II's sister; and Richard II marrying Judith, Geoffrey I's sister.[1] However, the death of Geoffrey I in 1008 allowed for Richard II to intervene directly in Brittany during the minority of his nephew, Alan III, Duke of Brittany, against rebellious counts who would take advantage of a youthful duke.[1] The guardianship would be recipicated later when Alan III was named as one of the primary guardians of William of Normandy, when William's father Robert I, Duke of Normandy went on pilgramage to Jerusalem and died while returing in 1035. By designating Alan III as a guardian of William, Robert I was "involving a close family member who would not compete with his heir".[1]

In his guardianship of Duke William, Duke Alan III was allied with Count Gilbert and Robert, Archbisop of Normandy, William's uncles.[1] However, when Archbishop Robert died in 1037 instability surfaced. Alan III countered the instability by reinforcing the power of the Norman ducal house by providing Robert I's two youngest brothers with land and title.[1] However, by October 1, 1040, Alan III was poisioned to death while besieging a rebel castle in Vimoutiers. Tension increased in Normandy following Alan III's death, with Count Gilbert dying shortly thereafter.[1] A rival faction in the guardianship emerged, one that would intervene in Brittany, suppressing Alan III's heir from claiming his inheritance.

At around eight years of age, Conan II succeeded his father as Duke of Brittany, with the ducal regency entrusted to Alan's brother Eudes, Count of Penthièvre.[2] However, by the time Conan reached his majority at age sixteen, around 1048, Eudes of Penthièvre refused to relinquish his power. During the dynastic conflict between uncle and nephew, Count Hoèl V of Cornwall and Nantes supported Eudes in suppressing Conan's inheritance. Eudas was Hoèl's brother-in-law as he was married to Hoel's sister Agnes of Cornwall. By 1057 Conan captured and imprisoned Eudes of Penthièvre, with Conan coming to terms with Hoèl of Cornwall later that year.[2]

Breton and Norman rivalry

Conan faced numerous threats posed by the pro-Norman faction in Brittany, including revolts sponsored by William, Duke of Normandy.[3] William supported challengers to Conan's authority, encouraging them to rebel against the Breton duke, his cousin. William continued courting the family of Eudes of Penthièvre, who was imprisoned. In response, Conan promoted his own legitimate claim as Duke of Normandy, as the Catholic church began preferring legitimate heirs born in church-sanctioned marriage over out-of-wedlock issue.[4]

The 1064–1065 War between Brittany and Normandy was sparked after Duke William supported Rivallon I of Dol's rebellion against Conan II.[2] In 1065, Before his invasion of Anglo-Saxon England, William of Normandy warned his rivals in Brittany and Anjou to abstain from any attacks on his duchy, on the grounds that his mission bore the papal banner.[3] However, Conan II rebuffed the warning and declared that he would press any advantage against William.[4]

While William plotted to take the English crown, Conan consolidated his authority in Brittany and planned to take advantage of William's absence and invade Normandy.[4] First, however, he needed to neutralize Anjou, another historic rival. Once Anjou was pacified he would advance into Main and then into Normandy.[4] However, during his 1066 siege of Angers, Conan was found dead after donning poisoned riding gloves. Duke William was widely suspected of the assination.[3][4]

Hawise succeeded her brother as hereditary Duchess of Brittany in 1066, and her marriage that year to Hoèl of Cornwall was designed to bring stability by consolidating authority in upper and lower Brittany.

With a nominal pro-Norman faction, represented by the duke-consort Hoèl of Cornwall and the count Eudes of Penthièvre among others, now in control of Brittany, Duke William of Normandy was able to attract Bretons into his expeditionary army for the upcoming campaign to claim the English crown.[1] Most Breton commanders in Duke William's army were the second-sons of Breton lords, such as Alain Le Roux (son of Eudas of Penthièvre). As much as a third of William's non-Norman soldiers were of Breton extraction.

However, the historic rivalry between Brittany and Normandy resurfaced at the close of the 11th century. By 1075 Hoèl returned to the traditional Breton policy of opposing Norman expansion with an alliance with the young king Philip I of France.[1] Ralph de Gael, in exile in Brittany after the unsuccessful 1075 rebellion in England, led incursions into Normandy from his base in Dol.[1] By 1076 King William of England retaliated by leading an army into Brittany to eject Ralph, but was met with a rare defeat by an allied army of Bretons and French forces.[1] In the peace negotiations which followed William offered Hoèl his second daughter Constance in marriage to the Breton heir Alan, though nothing came of the betrothal at the time.

By 1086 Alan IV was forced to abandon his duchy after an invasion launched by William I of England.

However, a peace settlement was reached that same year and in the negotiations that followed Alan IV was forced into marriage with King William I's second daughter Constance of England.[2] The marriage ceremonies may have taken place in Bayeux in Normandy. William of Malmesbury wrote that Constance was unpopular at the Breton court because of her 'sever and conservative' manner.[2] William of Malmesbury also alleged that Alan VI had Constance poisoned to death, but this remained unverified[2] However, Orderic Vitalis wrote that as duchess Constance did all she could to further the welfare of the Bretons, who grieved deeply at her death in 1090.[2]

In 1092 Alan IV donated property to the abbey of Redon by charter, and by 1093 married Ermengarde of Anjou as a political alliance with Fulk IV of Anjou to counter Anglo-Norman influence.[2] With Ermengarde he had a son Geoffrey, who died young, Conan III, and a daughter Hawise (married to count Baldwin VII of Flanders), possibly named after his mother Hawise, Duchess of Brittany.[2]

In 1098 Alan IV joined the First Crusade, leaving Brittany under the regency of his wife Ermegarde of Anjou. Ermengarde ruled from Nantes, rather than Rennes, as it was closer to her home county of Anjou. Alan IV returned from Crusade in 1101.

Geoffrey was also called Geoffrey-Berengar.

Geoffroy I, comte de Bretagne, was Duke of Brittany between 992 and 1008.

He married Hawise de Normandie, daughter of Richard I "Sans Peur," leader of the Normans of Rouen, and Gunnor de Crepon, between 996 and 999.

GEOFFREY, DUKE OF BRITTANY, married Hawise, daughter of RichardI, DUKE OFNORMANDY, and died in 1008, leaving two sons, Alan andEudon. During their mother's lifetime the two brothers seem tohave been joint rulers of Brittany, but on her death, on 21February 1034, dissensions broke out between them; peace wasrestored by a settlement under which Eudon received a territorycorresponding roughly to the dioceses of Dol, St. Mialo, St.Brieuc and Tr‚guier, reduced in the hands of his successors tothe two last-named dioceses, while Alan retained the rest ofBrittany. After the death of Alan in 1040 Eudon seized thegovernment of Brittany to the exclusion of his nephew Conan, whorecovered it in 1057. Eudon died 7 January 1079. He marriedOrguen, whose parentage is unknown. [Complete Peerage X:779-81,(transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

----------------------------------------

I will have to research where I picked up that Geoffrey died inNantes (maybe he was one his way to the Holy Lands or on his wayback). The following information, indicating that Geoffrey diedon pilgrimage, came from Curt Hofemann, curt_hofemann@yahoo.com:

Not sure whether you are saying that Weis & CP give the date &place or just the date & that your source of the place is fromelsewhere, but please consider:

... in 1008, Geoffrey of Brittany had likewise set forth onpilgrimage to the Holy Land. [Ref: Wm Conqueror p35]

On Geoffrey's departure in 1008 on the pilgrimage during whichhe died, his two sons Alan III and Eudo, then of tender age,were left under the tutelage of their Norman mother... [Ref: WmConqueror p29]

Prof. Douglas indcates that Geoffrey died either on his wayto/from or in the Holy Land. I am interested to know your sourcefor his place of death. Thanks.

Life

Geoffrey was the oldest son of Duke Conan I and Ermengarde-Gerberga of Anjou.[1]

When Geoffrey succeeded to Brittany he had several problems: Blois was encroaching on his territory, Vikings were threatening his shores, and he had to decide whether to accept the protection offered by Anjou.[2] He chose to align himself with the Duke of Normandy,[2] marrying Hawise of Normandy, daughter of Richard I of Normandy in 996.[3]

Geoffrey died en route while on a pilgrimage to Rome 20 November 1008.[4] Family

Geoffrey and Hawise had four children:

   Alan III of Brittany (997-1040).[1]

   Evenus (c. 998 - aft. 1037).[1]

   Odo, Count of Penthièvre (d. 1079).[1]

   Adela, Abbess of St. Georges.[5]

Notes

   ^ Geoffrey, Count of Rennes, assumed the title Duke of Brittany in 992 but the title was never recognized by the French king at the time and was not formerly legitimized until 1213. By the time of Count Geoffrey's reign, his claim to suzerainty over all of Brittany was weak and he had virtually no control over western Brittany and Nantes.
