Salomon, Duke of Brittany
Salomon (died
874), was
king of Brittany, from
857 to his death. Salomon became ruler of Brittany after the murder of his cousin, Duke
Erispoe. In
863, Salomon signed the treaty of Entrammes with
Charles I of France, where
Anjou was recognised as a part of Brittany. He was murdered in 874, and was succeeded by his son-in-law.
His name in
Breton is
Salaün. He is also called
Saint Salomon, but only the popular tradition did canonize him and raise him to the rank of martyr.
