• "The history of the Vitré family can be reconstructed with a certain degree of confidence from numerous charters which are quoted below.
• "The early 17th century Chroniques de Vitré of Pierre Le Baud introduce some additional elements[810]. While these have been referenced below, Le Baud’s reliability is difficult to assess. He mentions sources in support of some of his information but provides no citation references, while in some cases the data is clearly disproved by the charters.
• "According to Le Baud, Rivallon was the son of “Martin de Rennes...d’une noble dame que l’histoire ne nomme point”[811]. He connects Martin with the Breton ducal family but cites no source supporting his statements. The name Martin is found only once among Rivallon’s known descendants.
• "Le Baud’s information should presumably be treated with caution."
