Origins

The family of Rohan claimed to be descended from first kings of Brittany, and even from the legendary king Conan Meriadoc. The Rohans were descended from the Viscounts of Porhoët. According to J.-P. Soubigou, the first known viscount, Guethenoc (fl. 1028), was probably Viscount of Rennes as well and connected to the nobility of the Loire region, but he could have belonged to a Breton line holding estates around

History

From the 12th century to the 15th century, the Rohans kept securing and increasing their estates through marriages, acquisitions, inheritances, bequests and exchanges. Thus they became rivals of the

all through the Middle Ages, according to their interest, sometimes carrying out the most important charges of the Duchy faithfully, sometimes rebelling, as John II of Rohan did in the last years of Breton independence. The "great viscount", then more powerful than ever, controlled nearly 200,000 Bretons on about a fifth of the Breton territory. The heart of the viscounty of Rohan is made of the rohannais triangle (the three large fortresses of La Chèze, Josselin and Pontivy) whose center is the village of Rohan, the family's nominal fief whose castle is abandoned in favor of the other three. To counter the power of the immense fiefs of the Rohan and Rieux families, which divided the Armorican peninsula into two equal parts, the Breton dukes denied them access to the coasts and blocked them in the eastern part of the duchy through the fortresses of the Marches of Neustria#Breton March, whose main strongholds were Rennes and Nantes. The Rohans, then unpopular in a very Breton-tradition environment, were neutralized for the time being, and struck back only with the French army's direct support during the campaign of 1487 in the French-Breton War, which was marked by internal divisions among the barons of Brittany (Rohan, Rieux, Laval...) who constantly changed sides. In winter 1487–1488, John II was encircled by the ducal troops: his strongholds of La Chèze, Josselin, Rohan and Pontivy fell one after another in March 1488. The viscount was still coveting the ducal crown for his son but failed. In 1491, the marriage between

Anne of Brittany Anne of Brittany (; 25/26 January 1477 – 9 January 1514) was reigning Duchess of Brittany from 1488 until her death, and Queen of France from 1491 to 1498 and from 1499 to her death. She is the only woman to have been queen consort of France ...

and Charles VIII initiated the annexation of the duchy to the French crown, a union that was permanently ratified in 1532. The Rohan family married several times into the Breton ducal family, the last time in 1407. Henry II of Rohan chose Pontivy as the capital city of his fief. The chief of the Protestant party during

l motto, modelled on that of the House of Coucy, is often attributed to the Rohans: ''Duc je ne daigne, Roi je ne puis, Prince de Bretaigne, de Rohan je suis'' (Duke I will not, King I cannot, Prince of Brittany, of Rohan I am) or more often: ''Roi ne puis, duc ne daigne, Rohan suis'' (King I cannot, Duke I will not, Rohan I am). Roland Barthes will use this model in a joke: ''Then all writers will say: “Insane I cannot, Sane I will not, neurotic I am.”''. Another motto: ''Rather dead than soiled'' (Latin: ''Potius mori quam foedari'') which is the motto of the old Dukes of Brittany, the Rohans having been their heirs presumptive since 1532 and the treaty of perpetual Union between Brittany and France.
