a French prelate, was born in the first part of the 11th century, being the son of Alain, count of Carnonailles. Airard, bishop of Nantes, having been expelled from his episcopal see in 1052, by the people of Nantes, was immediately replaced by Guerech, who, without attending to his consecration, occupied the episcopal palace, and took the administration of- the Church. He had not even obtained canonical ordination :when he went to the Council of Rheims in 1059. He also attended the disputation of Angers in 1062, and presided at the Council of Tours in 1068. He was a friend of the monks of Marmontiers, and sustained their pretensions in all the ecclesiastical assemblies. Gudrech died July 31, 1079. See Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Generale, s.v.
