Dear Leo ~
Contemporary charter evidence exists which proves that Emme, wife of
Robert de Vitré, was the sister of Roland de Dinan (died c. 1185),
seigneur of Dinan. There is also contemporary charter evidence which
proves that Roland de Dinan was the son and heir of Alan de Dinan (died
1148). This Alan de Dinan (died 1148) was the brother of Oliver de
Dinan (died 1150), the husband of Agnorie, alleged daughter of Count
Stephen of Brittany.
We're currently discussing Moriarty's claim that Count Stephen's
daughter actually married Alan de Dinan, rather than his brother,
Oliver de Dinan. This claim is supported by Le Baud, Chroniques de
Vitré, page 27. If correct, it would explain why Alan de Dinan's
grandson, Robert de Vitré, Precentor of Paris, was called "kinsman" by
Duke Arthur of Brittany, a known descendant of Count Stephen.
Best always, Douglas Richardson, Salt Lake City, Utah.
