Laurent and Yoshiko Ohier mention the following sources for their Dinan pedigree:

  • Mathurin Monier, in "Dinan mille ans d'histoire", Saint-Brieuc, 1968
  • André Chédeville, Middle-age history professor at the "Universite de Haute-Bretagne de Rennes II", "Dinan au temps des seigneurs, des origines a 1283"
  • Admiral Jean Metayer, "Dynasties des seigneurs de Dinan"
  • Jean-Michel Dunoyer de Segonzac, "Une grande maison chevaleresque: les Dinan-Montafilant"

The last three sources based their studies on mainly 4 sources:

  • A-Mathurin Monier (see above)
  • B-René Kerviler, in "Bio-bibliographie bretonne", Rennes, 1904
  • C-Comtesse de la Motte-Rouge, in "Les Dinan et leurs juveigneurs", Nantes, 1892
  • D-Mathurin Le Giemble, in "La chronique de Dinan sous ses seigneurs particuliers", 19th century, never published (a copy is at the Dinan library)

The Ohiers did not use the following sources by Michael Jones:

  • “Les branches anglaises des seigneurs de Dinan,” in Dinan au Moyen Age, ed. Loic-Rene Vilbert (1986), 221-35; which was subsequently issued in an expanded bilingual edition: The Family of Dinan in England in the Middle Ages (1987) 62pp.

He is said to be son of Aimery III de Thouars lived circa 955-997 though I have not seen evidence of this.

See i.e., https://genealogie.quebec/stemma4web/info/171740 and https://www.pagedhistoire.com/personne/22079/Hamon_de_Thouars.php

He also is said to have became Vicomte by marriage.

Birth date is more likely before 965. He is reportedly either the grandson or the youngest son of Alain "Strongbeard" of De Nantes (c910-962) <wiki#Bretagne-158>

John - I think you are right. Unfortunately I don't have time right now to research is actual parents but I think a couple of generations were missed between them. Perhaps you can just detach them from Hamon.
Hamon's parents are clearly impossible. If nobody objects, I'll go ahead and delete them.

Terri - you might be right. The date of "970" was posted by someone in the Netherlands who is much closer to the sources but that would have made his father 16 yrs old when he was born. It was a custom at that time to betroth/wed at very young ages among royalty to merge family ties &/or properties.
Is it possible birth date of "990" may be wrong given marriage date of "997"? I found one online tree mentioning birthdate of "abt 970" which makes more sense, but have no backing data to prove it. See http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?viewrecord=1&r=an&db=WebASM-9289&indiv=try&h=14136225
