Notes par GEOFFREY de BRETAGNE

Geoffrey I, Duke of Brittany (980 - November 20, 1008), also known as Geoffrey of Rennes and Geoffrey Berengar, was the eldest son of Duke Conan I of Brittany. He was Count of Rennes (ruler of the Romano-Frankish civitas of Rennes), by right of succession. In 992 he assumed the title of Duke of Brittany, which had long been an independent state, but he had little control over much of Lower Brittany.

Geoffrey was the son of Duke Conan I, by his marriage to Ermengarde-Gerberga of Anjou. He was the grandson of Judicael Berengar, Count of Rennes.

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.

In 996, at about the age of sixteen, Geoffrey entered into a dynastic alliance with Richard II, Duke of Normandy, with a diplomatic double marriage between the two houses. The church-sanctioned marriage ceremonies were held at Mont Saint-Michel, on the Breton-Norman border, and while Geoffrey married Hawise of Normandy, daughter of Richard I of Normandy and sister of Richard II, Richard married Judith of Brittany, Geoffrey's sister.

Geoffrey and Hawise had four children:

Alan III of Brittany (997-1040)
Evenus (born c. 998, died after 1037)
Odo, Count of Penthièvre (died 1079)
Adela, Abbess of Saint-Georges

Geoffrey died on 20 November 1008 while travelling on a pilgrimage to Rome.[4]

By his wife Hawise, daughter of Duke Richard I of Normandy, he had two sons, Alan and Eudes (or Eudon), and a daughter Adela, who became abbess of Saint-Georges at Rennes. During their mother's lifetime, the two sons appear to have been joint rulers of Brittany, but upon her death in 1034, dissentions broke out between them. Peace was eventually reached under a settlement whereby Eudon received a portion of territory, while the remainder of Brittany was retained by Alan. When the latter died in 1040, Eudon siezed the whole to the exclusion of his nephew Conan, who recovered it in 1057.
