Notes:

André I st Vitre (born in 1054 and died circa 1135 ) is a baron Vitre about 1072 to his death, more than sixty years of reign.

«b»Biography «/b»
André I st dom Vitre is the eldest son of Robert I st and one of its two namesake wife Berthe Garin girl Craon or Berthe.

He succeeded his father around 1072 and married to 1091 Agnes, lady of Ryes in Normandy, daughter of Robert de Mortain. According to Pierre Le Baud, this marriage was concluded after a war between André I st to count of Mortain. In exchange for the release of the Norman count, Andre also receives six seigneuries in Cornwall, including the rich Triggshire. According to Louis Du Bois, the Baron de Vitré allegedly participated in a war with (or against) Alain Fergent, Duke of Brittanyin 1112, which would have pushed the sovereign to abdicate in favor of his son, Conan III. André I st recognizes without difficulty the authority of Duke Alain Fergent and his successor Conan III. In 1116 he handed over, in the presence of the latter, the Notre-Dame de Vitré church to the abbey of Saint-Melaine. In 1119 he attended Rennes with his son Robert at the funeral of Duke Alain Fergent.

According to Arthur of the Borderie "in 1132, Conan III was master of Vitre, and it exercised authority over natural lord of this land baron André I st. We do not know the reason for the conflict". It seems nevertheless that André became again baron soon after, since he died as a baron, in Vitré , in 1135. He is buried in the chapter of the church of Notre-Dame de Vitré. His son, Robert II, succeeded him but due, in turn, to be expelled from his stronghold by the Duke of Brittany from 1135.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Life Event: Robert I (about 1034-1072 ) is a baron of Vitré from 1050 to his death. He could also be lord of Marcillé, having received this fief of his uncle Robert de Marcillé, deceased without descendants. Marcillé -Robert\'s name could thus come from the name of the latter as well as from that of Baron de Vitré. «b»Biography «/b» Robert \"princeps and dom\" of Vitré, is the son of Baron Tristan de Vitré and his wife, Innoguen de Fougères. It was under his impulse that the first stone castle of the city was built, overlooking the Vilaine with its rocky outcrop. He founded, in fact, around 1070, the Sainte-Croix priory instead of the primitive castle of the first lords, as evidenced by certain charters. The Romanesque porch of the fortress of Robert Ier still exists today. Arthur de La Borderie notes that, in all likelihood, the beginnings of the city of Vitré and the foundation of the parish of Saint-Pierre (todayNotre-Dame ) date from the same period. Earlier, in 1066 , Robert fought under the orders of William the Conqueror, including participating in the Battle of Hastings on 14 October. «b»Union and posterity «/b» He marries around 1051 Berthe de Craon, daughter of Garin lord of Craon.
