Guihomar II, Viscount Of Léon
Guihomar II de Léon (died in 1103) was a Viscount of Léon. He is said to have succeeded his grandfather Guihomar I. Origins Guihomar is said to be the son of a man named Ehuarn. But according to Joëlle Quaghebeur, this Ehuarn was actually a "Viscount from Cornouaille", that is to say a Viscount of Le Faou. It seems that Guihomar II succeeded his supposed grandfather and namesake Guihomar I. A charter of the Cartulary of Saint-Georges de Rennes also mentions a Guihomar, son of Alan, himself named son of Guihomar in another charter in the same cartulary. Guihomar might then be the son of Ehuarn and a daughter or a granddaughter of Guihomar I. Guihomar's death is mentioned in the ''Chronicon Britannicum''. It is specified that Guihomar II was killed in 1103 by his own subjects. Possible family tree Alan of Léon │ ├──> Guihomar I of Léon († after 1040) │ │ │ ├──> ...

Josselin II, Viscount Of Porhoët
Josselin (; ) is a commune in the Morbihan department in Brittany in north-western France. History St Meriadek is said to have founded a chapel there during the 4th century. Much later Josselin became a stronghold of the House of Rohan. An alternative explanation for the location of the chapel concerns a labourer who in 808 discovered a wooden statue in the brambles which enabled his hitherto blind daughter to see. A chapel was constructed on the site of this miracle which subsequently grew into a church (parts of which date back to the twelfth century). A fresco in the church now recalls the Combat of the Thirty summarized below. In 1351, during the Breton War of Succession (part of the Hundred Years' War), two groups of approximately 30 English knights (led by Robert Bramborough, the English captain of Ploërmel) and Franco-Breton knights (commanded by Jean de Beaumanoir, captain of Josselin) staged an arranged combat at a spot halfway between the Chateau de Josselin and Pl ...
