Breton house

The ancestor of the dynasty was Nominoe (d. 851), Earl of Bath from 819/831, 1st Duke of Brittany from 841, descended from the noble Breton family of Plumeh and laid the foundation for the future Breton kingdom. He was succeeded by the son of Erispoe (d. 857), who in the fall of 851 became the first king of Brittany. Erispoe was killed in October or November 857 as a result of a conspiracy organized by his cousin Salomon . Erispoe's wife was called Mormoek, they had at least one son named Conan, whose fate is unknown, and also a daughter who was engaged to the future king of the West Frankish kingdom Louis Zaika , and after the murder, Erispoe married Count Renn Gurvan ^[1] .

Also, according to the annals of the monastery of Saint Salvator in Redon, Nominoe had 2 more sons, Paskveten and Gurvan, killed by Salomon.

According to some later genealogies, Salomon (d. 874) was the son of Rivalon III , Count de Poer . Since it is mentioned that Salomon was the cousin of Erispoe, his mother was the sister of Nominoe, 1st Duke of Brittany. Salomon in 851 received under the control of a third of Brittany. In his possession included the territory of the county of Rennes and Nantes. In 857, Salomon organized the assassination of Erispoe and became king himself. At the end of his reign, Salomon enjoyed virtually unlimited power in Brittany, calling himself "the prince of all Brittany and a large part of Gaul." This power aroused the discontent of the Breton nobility. As a result, in 874, a conspiracy was organized, led by the son-in-law of Salomon Paskveten , Earl of Nantes , the son-in-law of Erispoe Gurvan , Earl of Rennes , and also the nephew of Salomon Vigo, son of Rivelin , Earl of Cornwall . As a result, Salomon was captured and killed on June 28 . The assassination of Salomon led to a civil war in Brittany between the various feudal lords, claiming the inheritance of Salomon.

The name of Salomon's wife was Gunebret (Vambri), at least three children were born from this marriage: the sons Rivallon and Vigo, who died before their father, and also the daughter Prostlon (d. Until January 8, 876), who was married to Pasqueten, one of the assassins of Salomon.
