グエレス（フランス語: Guérech、英語: Guerech、？年 - 988年）はフランスのブルターニュ公（在位：981年 - 988年）。ナント伯（在位：981年 - 988年）でもある。

Guerech of Brittany, was Count of Nantes and Duke of Brittany from 981 to 988.

Life

グエレスはの父親はブルターニュ公アラン2世、母親はユーディトという。ユーディトは正式な妻でないためにグエレスは庶子である。兄にオエル1世。グエレスは兄オエル1世の死後、ブルターニュ公位を継いだ。

Guerech was the second illegitimate son of Alan II and Judith. He succeeded his brother Hoël I upon his death.

グエレスはオルレアン近郊のサン＝ブノワ＝シュル＝ロワール修道院（Abbaye de Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire）で育てられた。グエレスはゆくゆくはナント司教（Diocèse de Nantes）の座に就くと見込まれていたが、おそらく実現しなかった。グエレスはあまり神学には興味を示さなかったという。とはいえ、のちにグエレスがブルターニュ公・ナント伯となってからの7年間の治世のあいだ、グエレスは教会のしきたりをよく守ったという。

Guerech had been brought up at the Abbey of Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire, near Orléans. He was appointed Bishop of Nantes in 981 but was presumably not consecrated. He did not exercised priesthood and it was Hugh (Hugo), "character of wise and austere life" according to Albertus Magnus, who ruled de facto over the spiritual part of the Church of Nantes. However, Guerech kept the temporal rule of the Bishopric, which he ruled with the County of Nantes for the seven years of his reign as Duke.

グエレスの兄、オエル1世がレンヌ伯コナン1世に対して初めた戦いを、グエレスも引き継いだ。

He pursued the war his brother had started against the Count of Rennes Conan Le Tort.

982年、グエレスはアキテーヌ公ギヨーム4世と取引をして、父アラン2世狡猾公が942年に獲得していたロワール川南岸のいくつかの村（現在のティフォージュ、Herbauges、Mauges）周辺を譲り渡した。翌年、

In 982, Guerech signed a traty with Count William IV of Poitou, who confirmed the possessions of Nantes south of the Loire — the pagi of Herbauges, Tiffauges and Mauges — which his father Alan II of Brittany had obtained in 942. The following year, Guerech wento to the Court of the King of West Francia, Lothair to pay homage. On the way back, he stopped at Count Geoffrey I of Anjou’s, who kept him a prisoner and demanded that Guerech admitted he had received Nantes from the Count of Anjou and became his vassal.

The same year, Guerech’s wife Aremburga had a strategic fortress built in Ancenis. Conan Le Tort, who had ordered Hoël I’s murder according to the Chronicle of Nantes and rightly feared that the Counts of Nantes and Anjou would unite against him, is said to have convinced Guerech’s physician, a Heroicus, also Abbot of the Redon Abbey, to poison the Duke.

Like his brother, Guerech died prematurely in 988 and was buried in Redon Abbey.

Family

Guerech had married Aremburga of Ancenis. They had an only son, Alan, who succeeded him as Duke of Brittany but died two years later.
