"Alanus vicecomes de Rohan...cum uxore mea Constancia" founded Bonrepos abbey for his own burial and that of "Alanus filius meus", with the consent of “Alano filio meo”, and donated property “in Britannia et in Anglia...in episcopate Eliensi...ecclesiam de Fuleburne...”, witnessed by “Herveo de Leon, Herveo filio Comitis...”, a second version of the document dated 20 Jun 1184 recording the consent of “Alano et Guillelmo filiis meis”, and a third version, undated, the consent of “Margarita et Ælizia filiabus meis” (witnessed by “Eudone filio Comitis, Henrico fratre eius, Herveo de Leuns, Daniele Senescallo, Galterio filio Ruelloni...”)[1424].

v) ALIX . "Alanus vicecomes de Rohan...cum uxore mea Constancia" founded Bonrepos abbey for his own burial and that of "Alanus filius meus", with the consent of “Alano filio meo”, and donated property “in Britannia et in Anglia...in episcopate Eliensi...ecclesiam de Fuleburne...”, witnessed by “Herveo de Leon, Herveo filio Comitis...”, a second version of the document dated 20 Jun 1184 recording the consent of “Alano et Guillelmo filiis meis”, and a third version, undated, the consent of “Margarita et Ælizia filiabus meis” (witnessed by “Eudone filio Comitis, Henrico fratre eius, Herveo de Leuns, Daniele Senescallo, Galterio filio Ruelloni...”)[1425].

vi) [daughter . The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records that a daughter of "Helenus de Roem" and his wife married "Arveus de Leon filius Guimar"[1426]. It is not known whether this refers to one of the daughters of Alain [III] who are named above. m HERVE [%C3%8CI] de Léon, son of GUYOMAR [IV] Vicomte de Léon & his wife Margilia --- (-1218).]

vii) [HELOISE (-after [1213]). "Helois filia Al. Vicecomitis de Rohan" donated property to Bonrepos, with the consent of "dominus Josselinus Vicecomes de Rohan", by undated charter (included in the compilation among documents dated 1213)[1427]. On the basis of this document, Heloise could have been the daughter either of Vicomte Alain [III] or Vicomte Alain [IV]. The former appears to be the more likely possibility as a daughter of Alain [IV] (then deceased) would have been young in 1213 to have made an independent donation without the consent of her own brothers. However, the charter dated Feb 1259, under which Catherine de Rohan confirmed the donation made by her deceased sister Heloise, suggests that the two sisters were daughters of Alain [IV] as it appears improbable from a chronological point of view that a daughter of Alain [III] was still living in 1259. One possibility is that the two references to Heloise do not refer to the same person, and that the donor under the 1213 charter was the daughter of Alain [III], while the sister of Catherine was the daughter of Alain [IV].]
