  • The Battle of Brissarthe was fought on 15 September 866 between the Franks and a joint Breton-Viking army near Brissarthe, Neustria. It was marked by the death of Robert the Strong, the Neustrian margrave, and Ranulf I, the duke of Aquitaine. In 866, Salomon, Duke of Brittany, allied with Hastein (Hasting), a Danish chieftain, for an expedition into Anjou, Maine, and Touraine. In the course of the campaign, Le Mans was sacked. Robert, commander of the afflicted regions, assembled a large army to expel them. He was joined by Ranulf of the region of Poitou and Gauzfrid and Hervé of Maine. The Frankish army succeeded in intercepting the Danes before they reached their boats on the Loire River. The Danes attempted to take refuge in a church, but the Franks besieged them. During the night, the Danes attempted to escape. During the ensuing battle, Robert was killed, Ranulf mortally wounded by an arrow, and Hervé injured. With the loss of their leaders, the Franks had to retreat. In 867, Charles the Bald entered negotiations with Salomon and recognised him as King of Brittany. He conceded the Cotentin and possible the Avranchin to the Breton. Hastein continued to ravage the Loire Valley for many more years. He hit Bourges in 867, Orléans in 868, and Angers in 872. Charles appealed for assistance to Salomon.

  • La Battaglia di Brissarthe venne combattuta il 15 settembre 866 fra i Franchi ed un esercito congiunto di Bretoni e Vichinghi nei pressi di Brissarthe, in Neustria. Durante questa battaglia morirono Roberto il Forte, margravio di Neustria, e Ranulfo I, duca d'Aquitania. Nell'866 Salomon, duca di Bretagna, si alleò con Hásteinn, un capo danese, per compiere una spedizione nell'Angiò, nel Maine (provincia) e nella Turenna. Durante la campagna essi saccheggiarono Le Mans. Roberto il Forte, a capo delle regioni colpite, mise insieme un esercito per espellerli, insieme a Ranulfo, Gauzfrid e Hervé. L'esercito riuscì ad intercettare i Danesi prima che essi riuscissero a raggiungere le loro imbarcazioni sulla Loira. Essi cercarono rifugio in una chiesa, ma i Franchi la strinsero d'assedio. Durante la notte i Vichinghi cercarono di fuggire, ma ne nacque una battaglia in cui Roberto il Forte venne ucciso, Ranulfo ferito a morte da una freccia e Hervé ferito. Senza i loro capi, i Franchi si dovettero ritirare. Nell'867 Carlo il Calvo avviò un negoziato con Salomon e gli riconobbe il titolo di Duca di Bretagna, dandogli la penisola di Cotentin e la zona di Avranches. Hásteinn continuò a saccheggiare la valle della Loira per molti anni, colpendo Bourges nell'867, Orléans nell'868 ed Angers nell'872.
