      • Source text:

        Judith of Nantes (died 27 February 1063) was titular Countess of Nantes from 1051 to her death in 1063.

        Life
        Judith was the daughter of Judicaël of Nantes[1] and the sister of Budic of Nantes. She married Alain Canhiart, Count of Cornouaille, around 1026.[1]

        After the death of Judith's nephew Matthew I of Nantes, the only son of Budic of Nantes, Judith's husband Alain Canhiart managed to seize the County of Nantes in the name of their son Hoël, in spite of Duke Conan II's claims.

        In 1054, Conan vainly tried to seize Nantes and had to accept defeat. Hoël ruled the County of Nantes in his mother's name from this date. He first concluded his reconciliation with Conan II by marrying his sister Hawise before 1058. In 1059, he imposed his younger brother Guerech as Bishop of Nantes to replace Airard, a reformative cleric and Abbot of Saint Paul Outside the Walls, who had been chased by the inhabitants of Nantes as early as 1051.

        Judith died on 27 February 1063.[2]

        Issue
        Judith married Alain Canhiart, Count of Cornouaille, in 1026.[1] They had:

        JUDITH de Nantes (-1063, bur Saint-Guénolé de Landevenec). The Chronicon Briocensi names "Judith…filia Juhelli quondam comitis Nannetensis" as wife of "Alani Cagnart" and mother of "Hoellus Dux"[752]. "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…"[753]. "Alanus comes nobilis Cornubensium partium" donated property to Landévennec by an undated charter, affirmed by "conjugis Iudett"[754]. An undated charter dated to [1031/55] records a donation to Sainte-Croix de Quimperlé by "Alano principe…uxor eiusdem consulis, religiosa domina et mater nostra Judith comitissa, filia…Judicaelis Nannetensium comitis", in the presence of "domini sui"[755]. The Chronicon Kemperlegiense records the death in 1063 of "Iudith Comitissa Cornugalliæ"[756]. The Chronicon Universum in the cartulary of Sainte-Croix de Quimperlé records the death in 1063 of "Judith comitissa Cornugallie"[757]. A fragmentary chronicle in the cartulary of Sainte-Croix de Quimperlé records that "comitissa Judith" lived for six years as a nun after her husband died and was buried "in ecclesia Sancti Guingualoei"[758].
