Francis I (in Breton Fransez I, in French François I) (Vannes/Gwened, 14 May 1414 – 18 July 1450, Château de l'Hermine/Kastell an Erminig), was Duke of Brittany, Count of Montfort and titular Earl of Richmond, from 1442 to his death.
Anne of Brittany was the last independent ruler of Brittany, inheriting the Duchy as a girl of twelve in 1488, and securing her inheritance was a crucial matter for both the House of Habsburg and the French Crown.
He sold all he possessed to the English, and his fief of Fougères to the Duke of Brittany.
Peter II (in Breton Pêr II, in French Pierre II) (1418–1457, Nantes/ Naoned), was Duke of Brittany, Count of Montfort and titular earl of Richmond, from 1450 to his death.
He had made his name in the English wars when in 1433 he joined with Yolande, queen of Sicily, the constable Richmond and others, in chasing from power Charles VII's minister La Trémoille.
