  • Guihomar I (died c. 1055). He is said to be the father of Ehuarn but historian Joëlle Quaghebeur thinks Ehuarn married a woman belonging to the House of Léon but was a Léon himself.
  • Ehuarn (II) father of Guihomar II according to the cartulary of Landévennec. According to historian Joëlle Quaghebeur, Ehuarn (II) wasn't a Léon but he married a woman belonging to the House of Léon.
