This well represents the opinion of Lot, but recent work suggests a
modification:

4.Berenger, count of Rennes

8.?
9.? de Brittany

18.Berenger, Count of Bayeux
19.? de Brittany

38.? Judicael (a son of Erispoe)

now 76.

now 152.

An alternative eliminates gen. 4, so that 8.&9. would be parents of 2.

The ancestry of 18 was recently addressed by Keats-Rohan in the
aniversary issue of TAG, where she presents some alternative
possibilities.

As to the line which was posted from Stuart, this appeared in ES (and
earlier in Winkhaus) and basically is a combination of two conflicting
traditions, one of descent from Alain, and the other from Erispoe.
Subsequently, a correction chart was issued in ES, but Stuart chose to
completely ignore this. He deserves the same fate on this issue.
