Louis the Debonair named him See also:count of See also:Vannes in 819 and See also:governor or duke of Brittany in 826. Throughout the reign of Louis, Nomenoe's fidelity to the See also:emperor never flagged; he put down several attempted insurrections, and maintained See also:peace in Brittany for fifteen years. But in 841 he resolved to make himself See also:independent of See also:Charles the Bald. In 843 Charles made a vain See also:attempt to subdue Brittany. In 844 Nomenoe invaded See also:Maine, and in 845 the emperor was completely defeated at Balton near See also:Bain-de-Bretagne. In the following See also:year Charles recognized the See also:independence of Brittany. Having resolved to detach the duchy from the ecclesiastical See also:province of See also:Tours, Nomenoe accused the Frankish bishops of Vannes, See also:Quimper, See also:Dol and See also:Leon of See also:simony at the See also:council of Coetlouh in 848, replaced them by Bretons, and erected Dol into a See also:metropolitan see. In 849 Nomenoe attacked the Frankish See also:county of See also:Anjou. Charles retaliated by establishing a See also:garrison at See also:Rennes; but Nomenoe seized Rennes, See also:Nantes and, finally, the whole of Upper Brittany, and ravaged Maine. In 851 he seized Anjou and invaded See also:Beauce; but he died suddenly, leaving as his successor his son Erispoe.
