     Mathuédoï/Matuedo/Malhuedoc I (?) Comte de Poher married NN (?) de Bretagne, daughter of Alain I "le Grand" (?) Duc de Bretagne and Oreguen (?), before 907.^1,2,3,4,5

Mathuédoï/Matuedo/Malhuedoc I (?) Comte de Poher died before 936 at England (now); Wikipedia (Fr.) says that Mathuedoï was exiled aft 924. He was welcomed by Aethelstan, King of England, and never left England after that.⁶

; Per Wikipedia:
     "Mathuedoï I (circa 875 - 930) was a Count of Poher. He was the son-in-law of Alan I, King of Brittany, known as Alan the Great through his marriage to Hawise of Vannes. at an unknown age He obtained his countship at Alan's death circa 907. He is listed in several ecclesiastical records at Redon Abbey.[1]
Life
     "At Alan I's death the rule of Brittany became fractured even as the region faced Viking invasions. Mathuedoï and his cousin Gourmaelon, the Count of Cornouailles, stood in line to succeed Alan I as ruler of Brittany. Mathuedoï renounced his claim as Viking invasions of Brittany increased. Subsequent to the invasion of the Loire Viking fleet led by Rognvaldr, he exiled himself and his son Alan to England in 924.[2]
     "According to the Chronicle of Nantes:
     "While Mathuedoï would remain in England, his son Alan returned to Brittany about 12 years later, and with Athelstan's assistance would expel the Vikings.
Notes
a. His mother Orequen is understood to have married Alain de Poher but the written histories to support this claim are sparse.

     "Mathuedoi (mort avant 936) est comte de Poher au début du xe siècle.

; Per Genealogics:
     "Alain, called 'the Great', was the count of Vannes and duke of Brittany _(dux Brittonium)_ from 876 until his death. He was probably the only king of Brittany _(rex Brittaniae)_ to hold that title by legitimate grant of the emperor.
     "Alain was the second son of Ridoredh, count of Vannes. He succeeded his brother Paseweten in Vannes and Brittany when the latter died, probably in the middle of 876. He represented the power block of southeastern Brittany and had to fight, initially, against Judicael of Poher, representative of western Breton interests, for the ducal throne. Eventually he and Judicael made peace in order to fight the Vikings, Judicael died in the Battle of Questembert in 888 or 889. Alain defeated the Vikings at Saint-Lô, chasing them into a river where many drowned.
     "After the death of Judicael, Alain ruled all of Brittany as it had been during the time of Salomon, king of Brittany until his assassination in 874 by conspirators including his son-in-law, Alain's brother Paseweten. Alain ruled not only the Breton territories of Léon, Dommonée, Cornouaille and the Vannetais, but also the Frankish counties of Rennes, Nantes, Coutances, and Avranches, as well as the western parts of Poitou (the so-called pays de Retz) and Anjou. In the east his rule extended as far as the river Vire. He was the first Breton ruler to rule this entire territory without great opposition within the west and the last to rule the whole bloc of Franco-Celtic countries. His strongest opponent was Foulques I, comte d'Anjou, who disputed control of the Nantais with him, though Alain seems to have had the upper hand in his lifetime. His power base remained in the southeast and he was powerful and wealthy in land around Vannes and Nantes.
     "According to the _Anglo-Saxon Chronicle,_ after the death of Carloman II in 884, Charles 'the Fat' succeeded to all of West Francia save Brittany, thus making Brittany an independent kingdom; but this does not seem to have been true. A charter datable to between 897 and 900 makes reference to the soul of Karolus on whose behalf Alain had ordered prayers to be said in the monastery of Redon. This was probably Charles 'the Fat', who as emperor, probably granted Alain the right to be titled _rex._ As emperor he would have had that prerogative and he is known to have had contacts with Nantes in 886, making it not improbable that he came into communication with Alain. Charles also made a concerted effort to rule effectively in the entirety of his empire and to make former enemies, with dubious ties to the empire, like the Viking Godfrid, men of standing, in return for their loyalty. Throughout his reign, Alain used Carolingian symbols of regalia and Carolingian forms in his charters.
     "Alain augmented his power during the weak reigns of Eudes and Charles III 'the Simple'. He died in 907 and Brittany was overrun by Vikings, who held the region until 936, when Alain's grandson Alain II 'le Barbetorte' succeeded in reestablishing Christian rule, but Brittany was never thenceforth as extended as in Alain's time an no future Breton rulers were called kings.
     "By his wife Oreguen, Alain had three sons, of whom Paseweten is recorded with progeny, and two unnamed daughters, of whom one would have progeny, marrying Matuedoi, comte de Poher. They were the parents of Alain II."³ GAV-30 EDV-31 GKJ-32.

     "ALAIN (-907). Regino records that "Alanus frater Pasquitani" succeeded his brother, jointly with "Iudicheil, ex filia Herispoii regis natus"[67]. The Annales Mettenses names "Judicheil ex filia Heriospoii regis natus" when recording that he ruled jointly with "Alanus frater Pasquitani"[68]. He succeeded his brother in [876] as ALAIN I "le Grand" joint Duke of Brittany, ruling jointly with Judicaël son of Duke Gurwent. Regino records disputes between "Alanum et Iudicheil duces Brittonium" in 890[69] and, in an earlier passage, that Duke Alain ruled solely after Judicaël died fighting the Vikings[70]. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that the Bretons defeated the Vikings at St Lo in 890 and "drove them into a river and drowned many"[71]. Guillaume of Jumièges records that Charles III "le Simple" King of the West Franks granted "terram maritimam ab Eptæ flumine usque ad Britannicos limites" together with "sua filia...Gisla" to Rollo who renounced his campaigns, that the king added "tota Britannia" and that “ipsius provinciæ principibus Berengerio atque Alanno” swore allegiance to Rollo[72]. The chronology of this passage appears incompatible with the death of Alain in 907. It appears that, after the death of Alain, power in Brittany was shared between the counts of Poher (Alain´s son-in-law), Vannes (Alain´s possible eldest son) and Cornouaïlle, and that none of them was acknowledged as overall ruler. It is likely that this situation persisted until the Viking invasion in 919 as no reference has been found to any overall Breton duke during that time in any of the primary sources so far consulted in the preparation of the present document.

"Tanchi comes…cum…filiolum suum Derian, filium Alani" shared property which they donated to the abbey of Redon by charter dated 27 Nov 910, "Gurmahilon regnante Britanniam"[74]. This charter indicates that Tanguy was closely related to the family of Duke Alain. The use of the word "filiolus" suggests that Derien may have been Tanguy´s stepson. As Duke Alain´s other known children were adult by the late 9th century as shown by the various documents in which they are named, it is unlikely that their mother would have remarried after her husband´s death. The most likely explanation therefore is that Alain remarried after the death of his wife Oreguen, had a son by this second marriage, and that his widow married secondly Tanguy after her first husband died. This would explain the joint holding of property in which the other sons of Duke Alain are not stated to have held any interest.]"

Paskwitan II (?) de Rennes died after 903.¹
     ; NB: The father of Judicaël/Juhael de Rennes, father of Conan I "le Tort" Duke of Brittany is unclear. One group of sources (Group 1) put his as the son of Pakwitan II (grandson of Erispoe). Other sources (Group 2) make him the son of a Berenger II of Neustria, son-in-law of Gurvand (m. an unnamed dau of Gurvand).
Group 1
     The Henry Project calls him "Juhel [alias] Bérenger" and says his possible father was Pascweten (fl. 895-903), son of Alain le Grand.
     Genealogics says that he is the sone of "Paseweten", son of Alain le Grand.
     Wikipedia (Fr.) says "Judicaël est un petit-fils d'Erispoë mais le nom de son père n'est pas précisé explicitement dans les sources contemporaines où il est désigné comme « Judicheïl ex filia Herispoii regis natus » " (citing Chronique de Réginon de Prüm: AD 874)
Group 2
     Med Lands says that he is the son of "Berenger", of unknown parentage.
     Wikipedia reports regarding Berengar: "Various reconstructions make him father, grandfather, or great-grandfather of Judicael Berengar, later Count of Rennes"
The Henry Project page has a long discussion of all of the possibilities proposed and essentially argues that the Group 1 lineage is the most likely. I have chosen to follow Group 1 with the attribution of Pasceweten (var. sp.) as his father. GA Vaut.^{8,9,10,11,12,13} GAV-29.

"Airardus Breonensis comes…et comitem Barrensem Milonem fratrem suum" are named in a charter dated [1125 or before], in which "Walterii nepotis sui filii Airardi defuncti comitis" is named, clarifying that his father was then deceased[50]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "comitem Brenensem Galterum et sororem eius Felicitatem" as children of "Erardus…comes Brenensis" & his wife[51]. The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names "Galterum comitem eiusdem loci et sororem eius nomine Felicitatem" as children of "Aerardo comiti Briennensi" & his wife, specifying that "Galterus comes genuit Aerardum comitem et Andream atque Mariam castellanam de Sancto Otmaro cum aliis liberis"[52]. He succeeded his father as Comte de Brienne. Seigneur de Ramerupt. He founded the abbey of Bassefontaine with his mother in 1143[53]. "Walterus Brenensis comes" granted "decimam reddituum suorum de Brena Castello" to the abbey of Basse-Fontaine by charter dated 22 Jan 1143, subscribed by "Airardi filii sui, Andree filii sui, Marie filie sue…Johannis de Brena clerici…Guidonis fratris comitis"[54].

As discussed more fully below under Comte Gauthier [II]’s wife Humbeline, this document could mean that Erard de Chacenay was related to Erard [II] Comte de Brienne through Humbeline’s possible first marriage. If that is correct, Comte Gauthier’s daughter Agnes, married to Jacques de Chacenay, must have been born from an otherwise unrecorded earlier marriage of her father. As noted below, the more likely interpretation of the 1174 document is that Erard de Chacenay was nepos of Erard [II] because he was the son of the latter’s sister.]

Her parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 1144 under which "Aelidis uxor Widonis domini de Brana post mortem viri sui…Guidonis" donated "census…Branæ castri et Branellæ villæ" to the Premonstré abbey, with the consent of "patre eorum Andrea de Baldimento et matre eorum Agnetis et ipsorum fratre Waleranno Vrsicampi abbate et sororibus eorum Helwide et Hubelina et earum maritis Waltero comiti de Brienna et Guidone de Dampierre" (although the names of the brothers-in-law are reversed in this document)[58]. [It is possible that Humbeline married firstly Anseric [II] Seigneur de Chacenay. This possible first marriage is suggested by one interpretation of the charter dated 1174 which records a dispute involving her son "comitem de Brenna Herardum" which was witnessed by “Erardus nepos eius de Chacenaio”[59]. What supports this possible interpretation is that the wife of Anseric [II] was named Humbeline, as shown by the charter dated 22 Feb 1119 under which "Ansericus de Cacennaco…uxoris Hubeline…filio meo Jacobo" donated property to the abbey of Molesme[60]. Another interesting observation is that the sister of Humbeline de Baudémont married Hugues Seigneur de Montréal, the possible brother of Anséric [II], duplicate brothers/sisters marriages being relatively frequent at the time. However, there are two problems with this possible interpretation of the 1174 document. Firstly, a chronological difficulty is suggested by the birth of Humbeline’s son by her supposed first marriage before 1119, Anseric’s death in 1137, and the supposed birth of several children by her second marriage before 1147. Secondly, the more natural interpretation of the 1174 document is that Erard de Chacenay was nepos of Erard de Brienne because he was the son of the latter’s sister. As discussed in more detail below, this latter interpretation also best explains another charter dated 1146 as well as the introduction of the name Erard into the family of the seigneurs de Chacenay. If that second interpretation is correct, there were two different individuals named Humbeline, one married to Anseric de Chacenay and the other to Gauthier de Brienne.] "Matris mee" is recorded as present in the charter dated 1166 of "Erardus Brenensis comes"[61]. "E Brenensium comes" donated property to Basse-Fontaine "matre mea mediante actum fuisse" by charter dated 1166[62]. Neither charter names the mother of Comte Erard, but they show that she survived her husband. Gauthier must therefore have repudiated Humbeline before his marriage to Adelais, who is named in a charter dated 1147 as his wife (see below).

; NB: There is a possiblity that there were two women named Humbeline: possibly a Humbeline de de Baudément and another named Humbeline (de Troyes?).

"Jacobus dominus de Cachennai", with the consent of "Agnetis uxoris mee", made donations to Basse-Fontaine on the suggestion of "Galteri Brenensium comitis et matris, uxoris eius, domine Agnetis de Baldimento et domine mee A Brenensium comitisse" by charter dated 1146[311]. The parentage of the wife of Jacques Seigneur de Chacenay is suggested by this document dated 1146. It is also indicated by the charter dated 1174 under which the bishop of Troyes confirmed his judgment relating to "villa de Prait" which names her supposed brother "comitum de Brena Herardum" and is witnessed by "Andreas frater comitis, Erardus nepos eius de Chacenaio"[312]. One of the interpretations of this document is that "Erardus nepos eius [=of Erard [II] Comte de Brienne] de Chacenaio" was the nephew of Comte Erard because he was the son of his sister. Another possible interpretation of the 1174 document, as explained in more detail in the chapter dealing with the comtes de Brienne, is that Erard de Chacenay was "nepos" of Erard [II] Comte de Brienne because of a relationship through the latter’s mother, Humbeline de Baudément, wife of Gauthier [II] Comte de Brienne. In that case, Agnes must have been born from an otherwise unrecorded first marriage of her father. However, this alternative interpretation does not satisfactorily explain the charter dated 1146 nor the entry of the name "Erard" into the Chacenay family after Agnes’s marriage, which certainly suggests that Agnes belonged to the family of the comtes de Brienne. If Agnes’s parentage is correctly shown in the present document, she must have been one of her parents’ oldest children. "Agnes domina de Chacennaio…filiis suis Thoma et Ayrardo" made donations to the abbey of Mores by charter dated 1158, confirmed by "Henricus…Trecensis episcopus"[313]. She maybe married secondly Jean ---. Her second marriage is suggested by the charter dated to [1179/83] under which "Agnes domine de Cachenanaio", with the consent of her unnamed children, made donations to Basse-Fontaine for the soul of "domini mei Jacobi…filius meus Erardus…quando perrexit Jerosolimam", witnessed by "Johannes dominus Cachanaii…"[314]. It is clear that "Jean seigneur de Chacenay" could not have been one of Agnes’s children by her first marriage. One possible explanation of the charter is therefore that he was Agnes’s second husband, enjoying the title by right of his wife. The testament of "Agnes…domina Cacenaii", dated to [1191] and made "coram…filiarum mearum M[argareta] domina Chanlotis et H. domina de Durnai", bequeathed land "apud Lusigniacum et apud Montem Susanum", previously held by "Jacobus filius domini Erardi Cacensi", to "filie mee M[argarete] domine Chanlotis", and property "apud Taneileres" to "filie domini H[ugonis] Vendopere" by charter dated to [1191][315]."
