Nomenoë, also spelled Nominoë, (died March 7, 851, Vendôme, Fr.), duke of Brittany who fought successfully against the Frankish king Charles II the Bald. Appointed duke of Brittany in 826 by the Carolingian emperor Louis I the Pious, Nomenoë quelled a serious revolt in 837. When Louis died and war broke out between his sons in 840, Nomenoë was first a vassal to Charles the Bald, the youngest of them, but then he occupied Rennes, which Charles besieged in 843. After defeating Charles in 844 and 845, Nomenoë gained recognition as an independent ruler. Nomenoë became a crowned king after he had removed from Breton sees the French bishops, who had refused to crown him in 849.
