Conan I of Rennes

Conan I (927 – June 27, 992) was the count of Rennes from 958 and duke of Brittany from 990 to his death. He became ruler of Brittany after a period of civil and political unrest, having first succeeded his father Judicael Berengar, as count of Rennes.

Family and children

He married Ermengarde of Anjou, daughter of Geoffrey I of Anjou and Adele of Vermandois and had the following issue:

  • Judith (982–1017), married Richard II, Duke of Normandy
  • Judicael, count of Porhoet (died 1037)
  • Geoffrey, the eventual heir
  • Catuallon, abbot of Redon
  • Hernod

Conan died in battle against his brother-in-law Fulk Nerra, count of Anjou at the Battle of Conquereuil and is buried in Mont Saint Michel Abbey.
