Notes
Stuart's "Royalty For Commoners" (334:36) referes to him as Count of
Rennes and a leader against the Norsemen. Stuart identifies him a the
son of Paskwitan II, Count of Rennes (RIN 2198*).
Per "The Bretons" by Galliou and Jones, a 15 year remission from Viking raiders in Brittany brutally ended in 913. In the next few years several Viking states, similiar to the one forming in Normandy, were established in Brittany. The county of Nantes was abandoned to the Vikings in 921 by KING ROBERT I (RIN 1208) of France. WILLIAM LONGSWORD (RIN 1311), Duke of the Normans, aqdvanced through the Contenin and the Avaranchin. About 936, WILLIAM assented to the return to Brittany of Alain Barbetote, Count of Cournaille from England - the same year that LOUIS IV D"OUTREMER (RIN 1617) returned to France from England to reestablish Carolingian rule there. An earlier attempt by Alain to regain his inheritance in 931 had failed. While other Breton counts were seeking refuge at the English court, Berenger of Rennes alone remained to withstand the Viking onslaught. He was surrounded by them. Direct contact between the rulers of Brittany and the Kings of France gradually ceased in the course of the 10th century. No Duke of Brittany acknowledged fealty of performed homage directly to the King of France
until 1099. Following Alain Barbatorte's death in 952, leaving no clear
heir, a power vacuum in the duchy was filled by the Counts of Rennes.

Farmerie" posted to soc.genealogy.medieval on 22 Nov 1996 (in part): Subject: Re: ancestry of CONAN I, Duke of Brittany "I still follow the work of Lot and others from the turn of the century, who show Juhel/Judiceal Berenger as son of a Count Berenger, a Frank who rooted in Brittany toward the end of the 9th century, and who is perhaps identical with the Berenger of Bayeux that Rollo ran into. I am deeply suspicious of any attempt to harmonize all of the breton lines into a single royal family, suspecting instead that from the time of Nominoe, there were several entities (i.e. Vannes, Nantes, etc.) of which the king/count was simply the most powerful at the time."
BERENGER, COUNT OF BAYEUX (RIN 1314), father of ROLLO's wife, POPPA, could, if Farmerie is correct, be his father.
