- ↑ 4.0 4.1 Annals of St Salvator Redon, says that Pastheneten and Gurwent, murdered Salomon. If correct in the case of Pasquitan I, this would probably imply that his brother Alain I was also a son of Nominoe. For Gurvand, it implies he married his niece.

Charles the Bald invaded Brittany when Nomenoe died in 851. Nomenoes son, Erispoe, defeated Charles at Jengland-Besele. This was a disastrous defeat suffered by the Franks, and Erispoe was given the titles as a vassal king within the Frankish empire. Thus, Brittany became a kingdom. Erispoe was murdered by Salomon (857-874) and Salomon became the most successful Breton ruler.
The Vikings unknowingly contributed to Brittanys overall bid for recognition. The Vikings raided Brittany, but they found the Frankish lands a much tempting region to raid. Charles the Bald, and the various dynastic disputes kept his attention on other things, and not Brittany. In 866, the Bretons and the Vikings allied together, and defeated the Franks in 866 at Brissarthe. Charles was forced to give the Cotentin peninsula to Salomon in 867, in addition to making a symbolic gift of a crown.
In 911, Rollo the Viking closes off the Seine River to the Bretons. In 913 Landevennec was sacked and this started a general flight of monks to Francia. By 919 Breton resistance was all but gone, and by 921 Nantes was a capitol of a Viking Kingdom. Between 936-939 A.D. Alain Barbetorte (twistbeard) was successful in reconquering Brittany, but this took its toll on the Breton Kingdom and he was only able to rule as a Duke, not a King, as he could not impose his authority on the aristocracy.
