history
On August 1, 939, the Battle of Trans was fought here . The occupation of Brittany by the Loire-Normans , which had lasted since 919 , was thus ended by the Bretons and Franks. Alain II , known as Schiefbart , was promoted to Duke of Brittany. (However, his successor had to recognize the suzerainty of the Normans again in 952.)
