  RESEARCH_NOTES: 1. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013): “STEPHEN (or ÉTIENNE) OF BRITTANY, Count of Brittany, youngest son. He married HAWISE ___ . They had three sons, Geoffrey Boterel (II) [Count of Brittany], Alan (II) the Black [Count of Brittany, Earl of Richmond], and Henri [Count of Brittany and Tréguier], and four daughters, Maud, Agnorie, Olive, and Tiphaine (wife of Rabel de Tancarville, Chamberlain of Normandy). He succeeded his eldest brother, Geoffroi Boterel [I], or Geoffroi's son, Conan, in the Breton lands, and his brother Alain the Black in the honour of Richmond in England, thus uniting all the possessions of the family. In 1101 he served as surety for King Henry I for the observance of an affiance with Robert, Count of Flanders. The same year he witnessed charters of the king for Herbert, Bishop of Norwich, and St. Peter's, Bath. In 1107 he executed a charter at Lamballe for the Abbey of Sts. Sergius and Bacchus at Angers. In 1123 he granted a charter at Guincamp for the Abbey of St. Melaine at Rennes. He was a benefactor of the Abbey of St. Mary, York, and, in the period, 1125-35, he confirmed to that house gifts of churches. STEPHEN OF BRITTANY died 21 April, probably in 1135 or 1136, and was buried in the quire of St. Mary's, York.
