Notes for Orugen\Agnes
From Cokayne's "Complete Peerage", in the article on Richmond: "Le Baud (Hist. de Bretagne, 1638, p. 155) states that she was daughter of ALAN CANIHART, Count of Cornouaille [RIN 4932] and this has been repeated by subsequent writers; sufficient evidence of her parentage, however, is lacking."
Notes for Eudes (Spouse 1)
Notes:
The dukedom of Brittany went to his brother, ALAIN III. See his notes for details.
Weis' "Ancestral Roots. . ." (226:23), (214:23), (226:23), calls him count
of Brittany and of Penthievre.
Per Cockayne, modern historians are apt to call him Count of Penthievre, but there was no contemporary authority for this. The style used by Eudes and his descendants was "comes Brittaniae".
From Cokayne's "Complete Peerage", in the article on Richmond: ". . . neither Eudon nor his descendants acknowledged the Dukes [i.e., his brother's descendants] as their feudal superiors, and at the beginning of
the 13th century they held directly of the KINGS OF FRANCE and had the regalites in the dioseces of St. Brieuc and Treguier."
"After the death of ALAIN in 1040 Eudes siezed the government of Brittany to the exclusion of his nephew, Conan [i.e. Conan II, Duke of Brittany, dsp. 1066], who recovered it in 1057."
