BIOGRAPHY
Judicael (alias Berengar) was count of Rennes in the mid-to-late 10th century. There are conflicting accounts of his parentage, one popular solution making him son and successor to a count Berenger (sometimes identified with Berengar of Rennes, sometimes with that man's supposed maternal grandson of the same name) by a daughter of Gurvand, duke of Brittany. However, an 11th century collection of Angevin genealogies show him to be son of Paseweten, a son of Alan I, king of Brittany.
He is first documented as count in 944. He witnessed charters of Alan II 'le Barbetorte', duc de Bretagne, comte de Vannes et Nantes, and on the latter's death in 952 he apparently fell under the control of Wicohen, archbishop of Dol, later sources reporting the rescue of Judicael and his (unnamed) wife by their son Conon. He appears to have been dead by 979, when his son was at the court of Odo I, count of Blois.
