Lambert II of Nantes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lambert II was the Count of Nantes and Prefect of the Breton March between 843 and his death in 851.

Lambert ruled the county in opposition to Amaury, the puppet count installed by the King of West Francia. At his death, the county was effectively in control of Breton.

Lambert was the son of Lambert I and an unknown wife. He married Tetrata of Lombardy, a daughter of the eldest son of Charlemagne, Pepin of Italy. His wife was also the sister of his young stepmother, Adelaide of Lombardy. Lambert II and Tetrata were parents to three children: Lambert III of Nantes; Lisois Vetulus (Dove), Abbess of Craon; and Warnar of Nantes.
