1) Alan II, the Black BORN_SHORT Brittany, France, DIED_SHORT INVALID DATE Alan III "the Black", Earl of Richmond AKA: Alan de Bretagne AKA: Alan de Bretagne TITLES: Succeeded father as a count of Brittany, about 1136. TITLES: No creation of the Earldom of Richmond has been found, but Alan occurs in a royal charter of 1136 as "comes Richemundie"...... from 1136 onwards he was recognised as Earl of Richmond, and as Count Stephen his father is never styled either "comes Richemundie" or "comes Anglie," one seems justified in regarding Alan as the first Earl and in placing the creation or assumption shortly after his father's death, and in 1136 - see 'The Complete Peerage', vol. 10 p. 788 fn. b. TITLES: In 1140, King Stephen deprived Reynold de Dunstanville, illegitimate son of Henry I, of his lands in Cornwall and gave the county (patrium) to Alan, who seems to have had some claim to it as heir of his uncle Brian; he thereupon became, or assumed the style of, Earl of Cornwall. | |||
2) Eléonore de Penthièvre AKA: Eleanor de Penthièvre MARRIAGE: Spouse Conflict> Said to have married Oliver II, Lord of Dinan who died about 1150 and was the son of Geoffrey, Sire of Dinan in Brittany: see 'Ancestral Roots of Certain American Colonists', 7th ed. p. 177 line 214:24; The Moriarty Notebooks, vol. 13, show that Oliver II, Vicomte de Dinan, married a woman named Gunnor who is not otherwise identified. According to Moriarty, Oliver II's brother, Alan de DINAN, married Agnorie, daughter of Count Stephen of Penthièvre. Thus it would appear that Count Stephen had a daughter Agnorie (not Eleanor) and she married Alan de DINAN, not Oliver II de DINAN | |||
