HOËL de Cornouaïlle, son of ALAIN "Caignart" Comte de Cornouaïlle & his wife Judith de Nantes (-13 Apr 1084). The Chronicon Briocensi names "Hoellus Dux filiusque Alani Cagnart et Judith Comitissæ" when recording his marriage. "Benedictus episcopus atque comes" founded the monastery of Locmaria de Quimper, later confirmed by "Alanus comes filius Benedicti supradicti" (witnessed by "…femina ipsius comitis Iudeth…"), by charter dated to [1022/38] which also records a later donation by "Alanus comes et uxor illius Iudeth…et filiæ suæ Hodiernæ abbatissæ", witnessed by "Hoel…filius eiusdem comitis…Moruan vicecomes…". He succeeded as Comte de Cornouaille, de Nantes, et de Léon. The Chronicæ Sancti Albini records the death in 1084 of "Hoel Brito comes Nannetensis" and his donation to Saint-Nicholas of "insulam…Deneralem." The Chronicon Britannico records the death in 1084 of "Hoëlus Comes." The Chronicon Britannico Alter records the death "Id Apr" in 1084 of "Hoellus filius Alani Chainnardi, qui fuit Dux Nannetensis et Britanniæ." The Chronicon Universum in the cartulary of Sainte-Croix de Quimperlé records the death in 1084 of "Hoel comes." The Chronicon Kemperlegiense records the death "Id Apr" in 1084 of "Hoël Comes."

m (1066) HAVISE de Bretagne, daughter of ALAIN III Duke of Brittany & his wife Berthe de Blois (-19 Aug 1072). The Flandria Generosa names "Havisis Namnetensis comitissa" daughter of "Berta comitissa," when outlining the basis for the consanguinity between Baudouin VII Count of Flanders and Havise de Bretagne, which constituted grounds for their separation. The Chronicon Briocensi records the marriage of "Hasevisiam sororem…Conani Ducis" and "Hoellus Dux." Her marriage is confirmed by the charter datedto before 1072 under which "Constancius" donated property to the abbey of Redon with the consent of "Jedear uxore mea" and affirmed by "Hoel comes et Haduis comitissa, Alanus et Mathias et Eudo filii eorum," read together with another passage in the Flandria Generosa which names "comes Alanus" as son of "Havisis Namnetensis comitissa." She was heiress of her brother Conan II Duke of Brittany in 1066. The necrology of Chartres cathedral records the death "XIV Kal Sep" of "Haduisis filia Berta comitisse." The Chronicon Universum in the cartulary of Sainte-Croix de Quimperlé records the death in 1072 of "Hadeuguis comitissa."

Comte Hoël & his wife had seven children:

1. ALAIN de Cornouaïlle (-13 Oct 1119). The Chronicon Briocensi names "Alanum, Mathiam et Benedictum" as the three children of "Hoellus…ex Hadevisa uxore sua." He succeeded in 1084 as ALAIN IV "Fergant" Duke of Brittany.

Presumably the subscribers should be read "…Vitalis et Gualterius Carnotenses familiars comitisse, Haduis neptis mee…" as otherwise it is difficult to explain how the donor’s granddaughter could have borne the title "comitisse."

3. MATHIEU (-[1103/04]). The Chronicon Briocensi names "Alanum, Mathiam et Benedictum" as the three children of "Hoellus…ex Hadevisa uxore sua", stating that Mathieu was "Comes Nannetensis ex donatione Hoelli patris sui et consensus Alani primogeniti sui" but died childless in 1101.

"Berta comitissa Alani Redonensis ducis uxor" donated property to Sainte-Croix de Quimperlé, for the souls of "filie nostre Hadeuis comitisse Hoelis ducis Britannie conjugis et…filiorum suorum, meorum…nepotum Alani et Mathie", by charter dated 1075, signed by "Alanus nothus filius Conani comitis, Vitalis et Gualterius Carnotenses, familiares comitisse Haduis neptis mee…".

"Mathias…Nannetensium consul" donated l’île Corber en Loire to Sainte-Croix de Quimperlé "in manu Benedicti episcopi sedis Nannetice patrui mei," for the souls of "Hoeli…comitis patris mei et matris mee Hadeuis," by charter dated 1091. The Chronicon Britannico Alter records the death in 1104 of "Matthias Nannetensis, Hoeli Comitis filius", stating that he had violated "cimiterium beatorum Petri et Pauli" in the same year.The Chronicon Kemperlegiensis records the death in 1103 of "Matthias Nannetensis Consul, Hoëlis Consulis filius." The Chronicon Universum in the cartulary of Sainte-Croix de Quimperlé records the death in 1103 of "Mathias Nannetensis consul, Hoeli consulis filius."
