identifies him as count of Brittany and the holder of the honour of
Richmond, in England.
From Cokayne's "Complete Peerage", in the article on Richmond, we learn
that Stephen was the youngest of EUDES' eight legitimate sons (His older
brothers being Geoffrey Boterel I, Brian, Alain "the red", Alain "the
black", William, Robert, and Richard). There is no express evidence that
Stephen was the son of ORGUEN/ AGNES, and he may have been the issue
of a second [i.e. an unknown] marriage.
He succeeded his oldest brother, Geoffrey (or possibly Geoffrey's son,
Conan) in his Breton lands and another brother, Alan "the black" in the
honor of Richmond in England, thus uniting all the possessions of the
family, but he appears to have been out of the possession of the honor of
Richmond for a time during the reign of King William II.
In 1101, he was a surety for KING HENRY I (RIN 789) for the observance
of an alliance with Robert II, Count of Flanders.
