Count of Rennes

The Count of Rennes was originally the ruler of the Romano-Frankish civitasofRennes. From the middle of the ninth century these counts were Bretons with close ties to the Duchy of Brittany, which they often vied to rule. From 990 the Counts of Rennes were usually Dukes of Brittany. In 1203 the county was integrated into the ducal demesne. The Count of Rennes was a title held by the House of Rennes.^{[citation needed]}
