ALAIN LE ROUX

(Redirected from Alan Rufus)
'Alain Le Roux' (c.1040-1089), known as 'Alan Rufus', was one of the companions of William the Conqueror in the Norman Conquest and especially the Harrying of the North, in which he built Richmond Castle. He was the second son of Eudes, Comte de Penthièvre, by Agnes, daughter of Alain Cagnart, Comte de Cornouaille. He later became Earl of Richmond, followed by his brother, Alain Le Noir (Niger), who was in turn followed by Stephen, Count of Tréguier. His other brother Brian was Earl (Lord) of Cornwall, but relinquished his own estates for a Breton wife and her dowry.
