Nomenoë or Nominoe (died 851), duke of Brittany. To pacify Brittany, Louis the Debonair named him count of Vannes in 819 amd governor or duke of Brittany in 826. Throughout the reign of Louis, Nomenoë maintained peace in Brittany. But in 841 he resolved to make himself independent of Charles the Bald. In 843, Charles made a vain attempt to subdue Brittany. In 844 Nomenoë invaded Maine, and in 845 the emperor was competely defeated at Ballon near Bain-de-Bretagne. Having resolved to detach the duchy from the ecclesiastical province of Tours, Nomenoë accused the Frankish bishops of Vannes, Quimper, Dol and Léon of simony at the council of Coëtlouh in 848, replaced them by Bretons, and erected Dol into a metropolitan see. In 849 Nomenoë attacked the Frankish county of Anjou. Charles established a garrison at Rennes. Nomenoë seized Rennes, Nantes and Upper Brittany, and ravaged Maine. In 851 he seized Anjou and invaded Beauce. He died suddenly, leaving as his successor his son Erispoë. [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1961 ed., Vol. 16, p. 482]
