Matthew I Of Nantes
Matthew I (or Matthias I, died 1050 or 1051) was the Count of Nantes from 1038 until his death. He was the eldest son of Count Budic of Nantes.Judith A. Evrard, ''Brittany and the Angevins: Province and Empire 1158–1203'' (Cambridge University Press, 2000), pp. 28–29. Around 1040, Walter, bishop of Nantes, arranged for his son, Budic, to succeed him as bishop. They then obtained consent to their illegal scheme from the councillors of Count Matthew, who was still a minor, by buying them off with silver. In 1049, the Council of Reims deposed Budic and replaced him with Airard. Matthew was one of the recipients of the letter addressed by Pope Leo IX to the princes of Brittany explaining the council's actions. The deposition of Budic is the last event recorded in the ''Chronicle of Nantes''. The ''Chronicle'' goes on to say that afterwards Budic and Matthew were "inseparable until death" (''connexa ... usque ad finem vitae''). Within two years of the Council of Reims, both ex-bish ...

Count Of Nantes
The counts of Nantes were originally the Frankish rulers of the Nantais under the Carolingians and eventually a capital city of the Duchy of Brittany. Their county served as a march against the Bretons of the Vannetais. Carolingian rulers would sometimes attack Brittany through the region of the Vannetais, making Nantes a strategic asset. In the mid-ninth century, the county finally fell to the Bretons and the title became a subsidiary title of the Breton rulers. The control of the title by the Breton dukes figured prominently in the history of the duchy. The County of Nantes was given to Hoel, a disinherited son of a duke. He lost the countship due to a popular uprising. That uprising presented an opportunity for King Henry II of England to attack the Breton duke. In the treaty ending their conflicts, the Breton duke awarded the county to Henry II.

Budic, Count Of Nantes
Budic of Nantes was Count of Nantes from 1005 to his death in 1038. Life Budic was the son of Count Judicaël of Nantes, From 1005 to 1010, he ruled under the scrutiny of Walter II, Bishop of Nantes (1005-1041) who had been appointed by the Count of Rennes Geoffrey I of Brittany. Budic took advantage of the Bishop's pilgrimage in the Holy Land around 1020 to seize the episcopal possession and destroy the prelate's castle. Back in Brittany, the Bishop asked for the Count of Renne's intervention while Budic asked for Count Fulk III of Anjou's assistance. This led to the loss of part of the lands held by the Counts of Nantes in the south of Loire, that is to say almost the whole Mauges, in 1025. The building of Clisson castle was the sign of the Count of Nantes' wish to stop the progression of the County of Anjou. Around 1030, after a last conflict with Alan III, Budic sided with the Count of Rennes. On April 5, 1030 he subscribed to a charter by Alan III in favor of Mont Sain ...

Bishop Of Nantes
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Nantes ( la, Dioecesis Nannetensis; french: Diocèse de Nantes; br, Eskopti Naoned) is a diocese of the Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic Church in Nantes, France. The diocese consists of the department of Loire-Atlantique. It has existed since the 4th century. It is now suffragan of the Archdiocese of Rennes, Dol, and Saint-Malo, having previously been suffragan to the Archdiocese of Tours. Its see is Nantes Cathedral in the city of Nantes. History According to late traditions, Saint Clarus (Saint Clair), first Bishop of Nantes, was a disciple of Saint Peter. De la Borderie, however, has shown that the ritual of the Church of Nantes, drawn up by Helius the precentor in 1263, ignores the apostolic mission of Saint Clarus, and also that Saint Peter's nail in Nantes Cathedral was not brought there by Saint Clarus, but at a time subsequent to the invasions of the Northmen in the 10th century. He showed further that Saint Felix, writing with s ...

Council Of Reims
Reims, located in the north-east of modern France, hosted several councils or synods in the Roman Catholic Church. These councils did not universally represent the church and are not counted among the official ecumenical councils. Early synodal councils of Reims *The first synod, said to have been held at Reims by Archbishop Sonnatius between 624 and 630, is probably identical with that held at Clichy (Clippiacum) in 626 or 627. * In 813 Archbishop Wulfar presided at a synod of reform (Werminghoff in "Mon. Germ. Hist.: Concilia aevi Carol. I", I, Hanover, 1904, 253 sq.). Council of Reims, 991 A council, usually called the Synod of St-Basle, was convoked at Reims by King Hugues Capet, assisted by Gerbert of Aurillac, later Pope Sylvester II, to consider the case of Arnulf, Archbishop of Reims, illegitimate son of the late King Lothair. Arnulf was accused of conspiring with his uncle, Charles, Duke of Lower Lorraine, against Hugh Capet. He was duly deposed by the council, and Ger ...

Pope Leo IX
Pope Leo IX (21 June 1002 – 19 April 1054), born Bruno von Egisheim-Dagsburg, was the head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from 12 February 1049 to his death in 1054. Leo IX is considered to be one of the most historically significant popes of the Middle Ages; he was instrumental in the precipitation of the Great Schism of 1054, considered the turning point in which the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches formally separated. He is venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church. Leo IX favored traditional morality in his reformation of the Catholic Church. One of his first public acts was to hold the Easter synod of 1049; he joined Emperor Henry III in Saxony and accompanied him to Cologne and Aachen. He also summoned a meeting of the higher clergy in Reims in which several important reforming decrees were passed. At Mainz he held a council at which the Italian and French as well as the German clergy were represented, and ambassadors of the Byzantine emperor ...

Chronicle Of Nantes
''Chronicle of Nantes'' (Latin: ''Chronicon Namnetense'', French: ''Chronique de Nantes'') is an eleventh-century Latin chronicle of history extending from 570 to about 1049 AD. The original manuscript, kept in the city of Nantes, has not survived, but there exist: # a late fifteenth-century French translation of much of it, made by a certain Pierre Le Baud, who inserted it in two histories of Brittany he wrote; # Latin excerpts, which have been inserted into other chronicles. The editor of the Chronicle, René Merlet, assembled twenty additional scattered chapters he collected from other sources. Merlet presented reasons for dating the Chronicle of Nantes to the 1050s, and detected the presence of charters from the cathedral archives of Tours and Nantes, and annals and narratives in the unknown author's source materials.David C. Douglas, ed. ''English Historical Documents'' (Routledge, 1979) "Secular Narrative Sources" pp 345f. Notes {{reflist Bibliography *Merlet, Peter (ed.). ...

Judith Of Nantes
Judith of Nantes (died 27 February 1063) was titular Countess of Nantes from 1051 to her death in 1063. Life Judith was the daughter of Judicaël of Nantes and the sister of Budic of Nantes. She married Alain Canhiart, Count of Cornouaille, around 1026. After the death of Judith's nephew Matthew I of Nantes, the only son of Budic of Nantes, Judith's husband Alain Canhiart managed to seize the County of Nantes in the name of their son Hoël, in spite of Duke Conan II's claims. In 1054, Conan vainly tried to seize Nantes and had to accept defeat. Hoël ruled the County of Nantes in his mother's name from this date. He first concluded his reconciliation with Conan II by marrying his sister Hawise before 1058. In 1059, he imposed his younger brother Guerech as Bishop of Nantes to replace Airard, a reformative cleric and Abbot of Saint Paul Outside the Walls, who had been chased by the inhabitants of Nantes as early as 1051. Judith died on 27 February 1063. Issue Judith m ...

Alain Canhiart
Alain Canhiart (died 1058) was the count of Cornouaille from 1020 to 1058. He was the son of Benoît de Cornouaille and the father of Hoël II, Duke of Brittany. His family name, ''Canhiart'', is understood to be derived from the old Breton Kann Yac'h and was translated into the Latin texts of his era as ''Bellator fortis''. Life According to Paul Le Baud, Alain was a descendant of Rivallon Mur Marzou and therefore was a male-line descendant of the early kings of Brittany. As Count of Cornouaille he inherited his regnal rights from the family that appears to have ruled the Cornouaille region of Brittany from about the 10th century. His father Benoît (or Benedict) died between 1008 and 1029. He was the Count-Bishop of Cornouaille; he had been elected Bishop of Quimper around 990 and exercised the offices jointly but kept them separated. His mother was Guigoëdon (or Guiguoedon); she was the daughter of Orscand le Grand, the Bishop of Vannes. She was a member of the family of Alan I ...

1050s Deaths
1 (one, unit, unity) is a number representing a single or the only entity. 1 is also a numerical digit and represents a single unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of ''unit length'' is a line segment of length 1. In conventions of sign where zero is considered neither positive nor negative, 1 is the first and smallest positive integer. It is also sometimes considered the first of the infinite sequence of natural numbers, followed by  2, although by other definitions 1 is the second natural number, following  0. The fundamental mathematical property of 1 is to be a multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. Most if not all properties of 1 can be deduced from this. In advanced mathematics, a multiplicative identity is often denoted 1, even if it is not a number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number; this was not universally accepted until the mid-20th century. Additionally, 1 is the ...
