The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records that "Emeno…comes Pictavinus" declared "filium Pipini [rex Aquitanie filius imperatoris]" as king of Aquitaine after his father's death, in opposition to the emperor who invaded Poitou and expelled Emenon "et fratrem eius Bernardum", specifying that Bernard sought refuge with "Rainaldum comitem Arbatilicensem". According to the Chronicon Aquitanicum, he was killed while fighting with Renaud Comte d'Herbauge [et de Nantes], but other sources record that Bernard was killed with Renaud's son Hervé. The Annales Engolismenses record that "Bernardus et Herveus" were killed in 844. The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records that "Bernardus comes Pictavinus et Arueus filius Rainoldi" were defeated and killed by "Lanberto comite" the year after Hervé's father was killed. The Chronicle of Saint-Maxence records that "Bernardus comes Pictavensis et Arveus filius Rainaldi" were killed fighting "Lamberto comite" in 845. 1
