| rdfs:comment | - The Battle of Conquereuil was fought on July 27, 992 AD between the Bretons under Conan I, Duke of Brittany and the Angevins under Fulk the Black. Duke Conan had the Breton city of Nantes under siege, when he learned that Fulk was marching with an army to relieve the city. Conan raised the siege and began marching his troops back in the direction of Rennes to face Fulk. Once he had realized that his army could not outrun Fulk, Conan halted at Conqueruil and prepared the battlefield, digging pits and ditches which were flooded by the water of nearby swamps and then hidden by covering them lightly with sod, and behind this prepared earthworks which had their flanks secured by the swamps.
