https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen,_Count_of_Tr%C3%A9guier
Stephen of Penthièvre, Count of Tréguier, 3rd Lord of Richmond (1058/62- 21 April
1136)[1] was a Breton noble and a younger son of Odo, Count of Penthièvre and
Agnes of Cornouaille, sister of Hoël II, Duke of Brittany. In 1093, he succeeded to the
title of Count of Tréguier; in 1098, he succeeded his brother Alain as Lord of
Richmond in Yorkshire, England.[2]
Life[edit]
He is sometimes misidentified as "Stephen, Count of Brittany" in the court documents
of King Henry I. This is likely due to his Breton heritage, when in fact at the time
Brittany was a Duchy ruled by Alan IV, Duke of Brittany.
Stephen was a benefactor of religious houses. In 1110, he and his wife, Hawise
founded the Augustine Abbey of St Croix in Guingamp. On an unknown date, he is
recorded as having donated property to Rumbaugh Priory for the souls of his wife and
children.[3]
He was the paternal grandfather of Conan IV, Duke of Brittany.

III, Count of Blois and Adele of Valois.[4] Their children were:
Geoffrey II "Boterel", Count of Penthièvre, married Hawise de Dol, by whom he had
issue. Geoffrey received Stephen's Breton lands and was a supporter of Empress
Matilda during The Anarchy.
Alan de Bretagne, 1st Earl of Richmond (died 15 September 1146) married Bertha of
Brittany, by whom he had issue, including his heir Conan IV, Duke of Brittany. Alan is
also known as Alan Niger II; he received Stephen's English lands and supported
Stephen, King of England during The Anarchy.
Henry, Count of Tréguier, married Mathilde de Vendome, by whom he had issue.
