Alan I, Viscount of Rohan

Alan I of Rohan (1084–1147), also known as Alain le Noir, was the 1st Viscount de Rohan and Viscount of Castelnoec. He was the third son of Odo I, Viscount of Porhoët, and Emma de Léon.

Life

He received as his inheritance, the sparsely populated western Porhoët, in 1116.[1] He also owned a castle at Castennec and constructed another on the shores of the Oust which he named Rohan, the name he passed on to his descendants.[2] In 1128, Alain de Rohan finished constructing his permanent residences and founded the Priory de la Coarde at Castennec for the monks at Redon Abbey, and a priory for Marmoutier Abbey near the château de Rohan.

Children

Alan I married a woman named Villana. They had two children:[3]

  • Alan II, 2nd Viscount de Rohan,
  • Josselin

gollark: There's the "wash your hands" campaigns and apparently the government's trying to deal with the economic impact later, but we're doing horribly on testing (better than the US...) and seemingly not actually doing much to stop the spread preemptively.
gollark: I'm worried that the UK appears to not actually be doing much about coronavirus.

gollark: Apparently hospitals could test for coronavirus cheaply with stuff they generally already had available, but the FDA only allowed the CDC's tests to be used. But those had a broken component. Hospitals also had replacements for that broken bit, but the way the tests were licensed didn't allow them to be replaced. So they just limited testing to those returning from China, so they have no idea of spread.
gollark: The whole thing with the FDA/CDC managing to horribly mess up testing.
