Personal data Hoël II van Cornwall 

  • He was born in the year 1031.
  • (Levens event) .Source 1
    Hoel II of Cornouaille (c. 1031–1084) was Count of Kernev (French: Cornouaille, Breton: Kernev), from 1058 as Hoel V, and after his marriage to Hawise, Duchess of Brittany, in 1066, he became duke of Brittany. Hoel started the House of Kernev of Brittany, which ruled the Duchy until 1156.

    Little is known of the lives of Hawise of Rennes and Hoel of Cornouaille, however their political marriage between the house of Rennes in the east and the House of Cornouaille in the west may have further strengthened Brittany at a time when external interference was attempted by William the Conqueror. (The Cornouaille region of Brittany is distinct from the Cornwall region of Britain.) Hoel may have exercised authority through the right of his wife, and continued to control the government after her death in 1072. Hawise and Hoel were succeeded to the ducal throne by their 18-year-son son Alan IV, Duke of Brittany in 1084.
  • He died in the year 1084, he was 53 years old.
