== Biography ==It seems highly likely that the witness to documents kno w n b y t h e B reton name of Juhel (Judha�l or Judica�l) is the same person a s a n o t h er witness known under the Frankish name B�renger and the Life a nd t r a n s lation of St Gildas written in the middle of the eleventh centu ry c o n f i rms he was known by both names.
His first definite mention in a document, as B�renger is dated to 944 b u t h e c o u ld be the signatory to earlier documents as well. He signed u n d er J u h ael in about 950 and several times under various names in the l a t e r 9 5 0's. B�renger and his son Conan are named in a Papal Letter of P o p e J o h n XIII (reigned 965-972), dated to about 970, and it seems he ha d d e f i n itely died before 16 August 979 when his son Conan was at the co ur t o f C o u nt Eudes of Chartres.[Stewart_Baldwin]
'''Judica�l "Juhael" (d. 970 or by 979), Comte de Rennes,'''[http://fmg . a c / P rojects/MedLands/BRITTANY.htm#_Toc437414724][http://sbaldw.home.mi n d s p r ing.com/hproject/prov/juhel000.htm][alias: Judicael alias Bere n g a r ; [http://sbaldw.home.mindspring.com/hproject/prov/juhel000.htm] Juh e l , J u d hel, Judhael in Breton sources, Berengarius or Berengarii in Fra n k i s h , sometimes both names given together.] witnessed charters of A l a n I I , D uke of Brittany, and on the latter's death apparently fell und e r t h e c o ntrol of Wicohen, Archbishop of Dol. Later sources report the r e s c u e o f Judicael and his (unnamed) wife by his son Conan I. He appear s t o h a v e b een dead by 979, when his son was at the court of Odo I, Cou nt o f B l o i s.
=== Disputed Parentage ===An eleventh century collection of Angevin gen e a l o g ies names B�renger as the son of [[Vannes-16|Pascwethen]], the son o f A l a i n I t he Grand, King of Brittany. This is Baldwin's preferred opt io n .
The other possibility is that he is the son of another Count B�renger o r t h a t B �rengar and Juhel are father and son, rather than the same. Th is o p t i o n is preferred by Cawley, who also gives an unnamed daughter of G u r v a n d, Duc de Bretagne as Judica�l's mother. But as Cawley notes, thi s i s b a s e d on a much later publication (''Histoire de Bretagne'', by A. L e M o y n e d e la Borderie, published 1898) that doesn't cite any primary d oc u m e n ts.
There have been various attempts to identify B�renger the father, with v a r i o u s men of the period, but there is no reliable evidence for any of t h e s e c o njectures. Including a recent hypothesis that Juhael B�renger i s t h e g r a ndson of B�renger II de Bayeux, Marquis de Neustria[see Fr en c h W i k ipedia article]
Several [https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/12155729/pers o n / 1 9 49606335/facts Ancestry.com family trees] have Berenger de Bayeux a n d h i s w i fe Judith de Rennes as his parents but there seems to be no ev i d e n c e Judith de Rennes existed.

J u d i c a el alias Berengar was Count of Rennes in the mid-to-late 10th cent u r y . T h ere are conflicting accounts of his parentage, one popular solu t i o n m a king him son and successor to a count Berenger (sometimes identi f i e d w i th Berengar of Rennes, sometimes with that man's supposed matern a l g r a n dson of the same name) by a daughter of Gurvand, Duke of Brittan y . H o w e ver, an 11th century collection of Anjevin genealogies shows hi m t o b e s o n o f Pascweten, son of Alan I, King of Brittany.
He is first documented as count in 944. He witnessed charters of Alan I I , D u k e o f Brittany, and on the latter's death apparently fell under th e c o n t r ol of Wicohen, Archbishop of Dol, later sources reporting the re sc u e o f J u dicael and his (unnamed) wife by son Conan. He appears to ha v e b e e n d ead by 979, when his son was at the court of Odo I, Count of B l o i s .
