Hoel II 7th King of Brittany, ruled 545-554 - Date of death of Hoel Fychan ap Hoel Mawr

Ruled 545-554; therefore he must have died 554, not 547.

@Hoël Fychan ap Hoël Mawr, II, King of Brittanyis my 40th grt grandfather Judy Rice

According to: The Lives of the Fathers, Martyrs, and Other Principal Saints: In Two Volumes, Volume 2 - Hoel II, also called: Riuval and Riguald was murdered in 546 by his brother Canao, who seized the crown.

As the profile here on GENi notes that Canao is his son and not his brother I'm wondering which is correct.

The supposed Kingdoms of Cornouaille, Broërec, Domnonée et Léon.

c.550: The region is divided between five brothers. One, Canao, kills three of the others. The fifth, Macliau, is saved by St. Felix and the King, Conomor of Domnonée (alias Cunomorus) who appoints him as Bishop of Vannes.
560: Conomor is killed in a war against the Frankish armies of King Clotaire, youngest son of Clovis.
Gregory tells us that after the death of Canao, his brother, Macliau, gives up the Bishopric of Vannes to become King. We can be sure that in 568, Macliau was still Bishop for he participated in the consecration of a new church in Nantes two years after the Meeting of the Council of Tours (566) (Fortunat, poems, ch. 6, book III).

This same site gives the "apparent" death of Hoel II Fychan of Brittany as 547.

Then the profile must be incorrect as I had also read that Canao killed Hoel II. The difference in date of death is only one year.

The evidence certainly points to the 547 death, which would make his reign from 545-547, not 554. Thanks for your help.

You are welcome.
