«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.
