Rudalt, comte de Vannes

ALERT

• No primary source exists to prove that this Rudalt had a child.
• Conjecture exists that Rudalt may've had a son named Orscand, but any hypothesis must find mooring in source-based evidence.

From Medlands: Rodald

(-after 30 Nov 909). The Chronicle of Nantes quotes a charter, dated to after 5 Feb 897, under which "Alanus rex, summus Britonnum dux…conjugis nostræ Ohurguen ac…communis prolis" donated property, signed by "Rodaldi, Guerech, Pascultani, Budici"[80]. The charter does not specify the relationship between the donor and the four witnesses. However, other documents quoted below show that Guerec and Pascwethen were Alain´s sons. It therefore appears likely that Rodald and Budic were also his children. If this is correct, Rodald was presumably the oldest child as he is named first. The dating clause of a charter dated 30 Nov 909 refers to "Rudalt comite post mortem patri sui", referring to the county of Vannes[81]. Comte de Vannes. It appears that, after the death of Alain, power in Brittany was shared between the counts of Poher (Alain´s son-in-law), Vannes (Alain´s possible eldest son) and Cornouaïlle and that none of these was acknowledged as overall ruler.]
