This would have been a suitable location for a camp whilethe king's forces attacked HeÂde and TinteÂniac. Meanwhile, royal forcesattacked `Giguon' (Jugon?), and, north of Rennes, Gahard, Chahane,the lands of William de Saint-Gilles and the barony of Montfort.

According to Robert de Torigni, the king next planned to besiegethe castle of Lehon, upon which Rolland was relying for the defence ofDinan. The truce with Louis VII was due to expire, though, so the kingmerely set his forces to pillage the area around Lehon and lands alongboth sides of the Rance towards the north, sparing only the ancientmonastery of Saint-Magloire de Lehon.

In July, Eudo de PorhoeÈt and Rolland de Dinan, in league withLouis VII, attended the conference between the kings at La FerteÂ-Bernard. There they attempted to shame Henry II with allegations,interalia, that the king had abused Eudo's daughter whom he held as ahostage. The girl was almost certainly Adelaide, Eudo's only knowndaughter by Duchess Bertha.

⁴⁹

It is possible that Eudo had givenhostages to Henry II as a condition of his return from exile in 1164, oras a sign of his good faith at some time between 1164 and 1167. WhileEudo had custody of Adelaide she might have been used as a ®gureheadfor revolt, as the daughter of Bertha, the daughter and heiress of DukeConan III.

At around this time, all of Bertha's offspring were in some wayprevented from assuming this role. In addition to her son Conan,Bertha had two daughters from her ®rst marriage: Constance, who wasmarried off to Alan de Rohan, and Ennoguent, who became a nun atSaint-Sulpice-la-ForeÃt. Bertha also had a son from her marriage to

route between the ducal castle of PloeÈrmel and Rennes (canton PleÂlan-le-Grand, arrond.

Rennes, deÂp. Ille-et-Vilaine), which Henry II might equally have taken in the course of this

campaign, between Josselin and Montfort.
