Odo II, Viscount of Porhoët
Odo II, Count of Porhoet was the son of Geoffroy, Viscount de Porhoët, and his wife Hawise. He became Duke of Brittany in 1148, jure uxoris, upon his marriage to Bertha, Duchess of Brittany.
On Bertha's death, Odo II denied her son Conan IV of Penthièvre, Duke of Brittany his inheritance. While Odo II's marriage to Bertha was his first, it was her second marriage, her first being to Alain 'le Noir' de Penthièvre, Lord of Richmond. Odo II allied with his brother-in-law, Hoèl, Count of Nantes. Odo II was deposed by his stepson Conan IV in 1156, and taken prisoner by Conan IV's ally Raoul de Fougères.
He married secondly, in 1167, a daughter of Guihomar IV, Viscount of Léon, and his wife Nobilis, sometimes identified by the names Eleanor or Joan by later authors
Issue
Odo II had two children with Bertha:- Geoffrey de Porhoët
- Adelaide of Porhoët. She was sent to Henry II of England's court as a hostage and was alleged by his enemies to have become his mistress. This accusation remains unclear. She later became Abbess of Fontevrault.
- Odo III of Porhoët. He was married, but the name of his wife is not known.
- Harvey or Henry of Porhoët
- Eleanor of Porhoët, wife of Conan of Penthièvre, de La Roche-Derrien, son of Henry of Penthièvre, Count of Tréguier and Guingamp, and Mathilde de Vendôme.
- maybe Alice of Porhoët, who married into the Mauvoisin family
