Warner was slain in the ensuing conflict. In 825 Lambert’s forces defeated and killed Wihomarc, who had rebelled in Brittany. In 830 he was given charge of Nijmegen. He later joined the revolt of co-Emperor Lothar I in 833–834, losing his command in the Breton March and taking part in the rising that followed that same year. Lothar sent him to Italy in 834 and made him duke of Spoleto. He was killed in an earthquake. Another source names him the nephew and successor of Wido, rather than his son. Later sources refer to him simply as 'Count of Nantes'.
