A manuscript genealogy names “Jordanus Exbarrel, qui perrexit Jerosolymis” as the son of “Ainardum”[28]. "Iordanus Cabanensis" donated "ecclesiam…Petusiam…in…S. Petri honore fundatam" to Bordeaux Saint-Pierre, with the consent of "meus filius Iordanus", by undated charter, subscribed by "…Aimerici de Roca Cauardi", followed by a charter dated 1089 under which "Iordanus cum filio meo eodem nomine dicto" noted that "Engolismorum consule avunculo meo Fulcone" agreed to reconstruct "Barbastam"[29]. Courlieu records that "Iourdan seigneur de Chabanais" joined the contingent of Godefroi de Boulogne on the First Crusade and died while overseas, but does not cite the corresponding primary sources[30]. No reference has yet been found in the chronicles of the crusades to Jourdain. m firstly ---. The name of Jourdain’s first wife is not known. m secondly ---. The name of Jourdain’s second wife is not known. Jourdain [V] & his first wife had one child: 1. JOURDAIN [VI] de Chabanais . “Jordanus filius Jordani filii Ainardi” donated property to Lesterp abbey, naming “atavus meus Jordanus filius Jordani et uxoris eius Diæ”, by undated charter[31].

Jourdain [VI] & his wife had one child: a) ESCHIVAT de Chabanais (-bur Grenord). A manuscript genealogy names “Eschivat” as the son of “Jordanum”, son of “Jordanus Exbarrel, qui perrexit Jerosolymis”[33]. "Iordanus Cabanensis" donated "ecclesiam…Petusiam…in…S. Petri honore fundatam" to Bordeaux Saint-Pierre, with the consent of "meus filius Iordanus", by undated charter, subscribed by "…Aimerici de Roca Cauardi", followed by a charter dated 1089 under which "Iordanus cum filio meo eodem nomine dicto" noted that "Engolismorum consule avunculo meo Fulcone" agreed to reconstruct "Barbastam"[34]. Seigneur de Chabanais et de Confolens. "Jourdain de Chabanais et Amélie sa femme" donated "l’église de Saint-Pierre de Cellefrouin" to the abbey of Charroux by undated charter, dated to the early 12th century[35]. m [as her second husband,] AMELIE, [widow of ---,] daughter of [AUDEBERT [II] Comte de la Marche & his wife Ponce ---] (-after 1140). "Jourdain de Chabanais et Amélie sa femme" donated "l’église de Saint-Pierre de Cellefrouin" to the abbey of Charroux by undated charter, dated to the early 12th century[36]. A manuscript genealogy records that “Eschivat”, son of “Jordanum”, son of “Jordanus Exbarrel, qui perrexit Jerosolymis”, married “filia comitissæ Marchiæ”[37]. The probable chronology of the Chabanais family suggests that she was Ponce, wife of Audebert [II] Comte de la Marche. It is not clear from the document whether Eschivat’s wife was the daughter of “comitissæ Marchiæ” by her marriage to the comte de la Marche or by another otherwise unrecorded earlier or later marriage. However, the name Amélie strongly suggests that she was descended from the wife of Bernard Comte de la Marche who bore the same name. A charter dated to after 1140 records an agreement between "Amelia de Cabaniaco et Matildis filia mea" and Saint-Pierre d’Angoulême regarding "manso de Sorouma", for the souls of "virorum nostrorum…Jordani de Cabaniaco et Ademari de Rupe et Maentiæ"[38]. Eschivat & his wife had one child: i) AMELIE de Chabanais . The Historia Pontificum et Comitum Engolismensis records that Vulgrin [II] Comte d’Angoulême, during the lifetime of his father Comte Guillaume [V] from the context, therefore dated to before 1120, granted "castellum Chabanes et Confolent", claimed by “Ademaro domino Rupis-Folcaudi...ex parte uxoris suæ”, to “Roberto de Burgundio, [Aimerico de] Rancone” together with “filia Jordani Eschivati” who had died without male heirs, the same passage adding that “idem Robertus” repudiated the agreement and joined the Knights Templar, whereupon the land and bride were granted to "Willermo de Mastacio fratri Roberti domini Montis-Berulli" on the advice of “Vulgrini comitis”[39]. Betrothed to ROBERT de Craon, son of RENAUD de Nevers Seigneur de Craon & his wife Enoguen [Domita] de Vitré Heiress of Craon (-[Jan 1147]). m GUILLAUME de Matha, son of [ROBERT de Montbéron & his wife Emma de la Roche]. 1101/1136. Jourdain [V] & his second wife had two children: 2. AINARD de Chabanais . A manuscript genealogy names “Ainardum et Bosonem” as the sons of “Jordanus Exbarrel, qui perrexit Jerosolymis...ex alia uxore”[40]. 3. BOSON de Chabanais . A manuscript genealogy names “Ainardum et Bosonem” as the sons of “Jordanus Exbarrel, qui perrexit Jerosolymis...ex alia uxore”[41].
1. MATHILDE (-after 1140). Her marriage and family origin are indicated by the Historia Pontificum et Comitum Engolismensis which records that "castellum Chabanes et Confolent" was claimed by “Ademaro domino Rupis-Folcaudi...ex parte uxoris suæ” when it was granted by Vulgrin d’Angoulème to “Roberto de Burgundio, [Aimerico de] Rancone” together with “filia Jordani Eschivati” who had died without male heirs[42]. This passage clearly indicates that the wife of Aimery de la Rochefoucauld was not the daughter of Eschivat de Chabanais. A charter dated to after 1140 records an agreement between "Amelia de Cabaniaco et Matildis filia mea" and Saint-Pierre d’Angoulême regarding "manso de Sorouma", for the souls of "virorum nostrorum…Jordani de Cabaniaco et Ademari de Rupe et Maentiæ"[43]. This second charter suggests that Mathilde was the daughter of Eschivat’s wife by an earlier marriage. If that is correct, Aimery de la Rochefoucauld’s claim to Chabanais must have been unfounded. The reference to "Maentiæ" in this second source has not yet been elucidated. As noted above, an earlier section of the same passage of the Historia Pontificum et Comitum Engolismensis recounts further exploits of the same Aimery de la Rochefoucauld, who is more likely to be identified as the brother of Guy [III] than Guy [III]’s son Aymar. If this is correct, the chronology suggests that Mathilde must have been Aimery’s second wife and not the mother of his daughter who is referred to below. m [as his second wife,] AIMERY de la Rochefoucauld, son of GUY [II] Seigneur de la Rochefoucauld & his wife Eve --- (-after 1109).
B. SEIGNEURS de CHABANAIS (MATHA/MONTBRON)
GUILLAUME de Matha, son of [ALDUIN BORRELL Seigneur de Monbron] & his wife Philippa --- (-1136 or after). His family origin is confirmed by the Historia Pontificum et Comitum Engolismensis which records that, after "Roberto Burgundio" repudiated his marriage contract to join the Templars, his land and bride were granted to "Willermo de Mastacio fratri Roberti domini Montis-Berulli" on the advice of "Wlgrini comitis"[44]. The parentage of Guillaume’s brother Robert de Montbron is confirmed by the Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis which names Robert’s aunt "Almode sorore Alduini Borrel, patris Roberti de Monbrond" when recording her marriage to "Ebolus de Ventadour"[45]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln, the two brother were possible sons of Robert [I] de Montbron and his wife Emma, daughter of Adémar de la Roche[46], but the Chronicon indicates that this suggestion is incorrect. The different geographical epithets given to the two brothers suggests that they may not have shared the same father. "Robertus de Monteberulfi...Willelmus de Mastacio frater Rotberti de Monte Berulfi" confirmed donations made to the church of Haimps [Aent] made by “pater meus Audoinus...et frater meus Audouinus” by charter dated to [1101/36][47]. m ([1120]) AMELIE de Chabanais, daughter of ESCHIVAT Seigneur de Chabanais et de Confolens & his wife Amélie ---. The Historia Pontificum et Comitum Engolismensis records that Vulgrin [II] Comte d’Angoulême, during the lifetime of his father Comte Guillaume [V] from the context, therefore dated to before 1120, granted "castellum Chabanes et Confolent", claimed by “Ademaro domino Rupis-Folcaudi...ex parte uxoris suæ”, to “Roberto de Burgundio, [Aimerico de] Rancone” together with “filia Jordani Eschivati” who had died without male heirs, the same passage adding that “idem Robertus” repudiated the agreement and joined the Knights Templar, whereupon the land and bride were granted to "Willermo de Mastacio fratri Roberti domini Montis-Berulli" on the advice of “Vulgrini comitis”[48]. Guillaume & his wife had three children: 1. JOURDAIN [VII] (-after 1175). He is named in the Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis as brother of Eschivat: "Eschivard frater Jordani de Chabannès et Bosonis Abbatis Stirpensis"[49]. Seigneur de Chabanais. m ---. The name of Jourdain’s wife is not known. Jourdain [VII] & his wife had one child: a) GUILLAUME ESCHIVAT (-after 3 Aug 1214).

"Ademarus vicecomes Lemovicensis cum filiis suis" prohibited a construction at Uzerche monastery by charter dated 1187, witnessed by "Guido filius vicecomitis, Eschivatus miles de Chabanes…"[52]. m as her second husband, MATEBRUNE de Ventadour, widow of RAINAUD [V] "le Lépreux" Vicomte d'Aubusson, daughter of EBLES [III] Vicomte de Ventadour & his first wife Marguerite de Turenne ([1149/50]-). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Matebrunam" as the daughter of "Ademaro vicecomite Lemovicensi, sponsam illius Margaretam, sororem Bosonis de Torenna" and her second husband "Ebolus Ventadorensis, filius Eboli Cantatoria", recording that she married firstly "Rainaldum Leprosum Vicecomitem de Albusson" and secondly "Eschivard frater Jordani de Chabannès et Bosonis Abbatis Stirpensis"[53]. Eschivat [I] & his wife had one child: a) EBLES [I] de Chabannes (-after 1226). Champeval states that Ebles was the son of Eschivat [I], named after his maternal uncle who was his godfather, but does not cite the corresponding primary source[54]. Ebles de Chabannes donated property to the abbey of Bonaigue, with the consent of "Ebles son fils", by charter dated to [1215][55]. m ---. The name of Ebles’s wife is not known.

1. JOURDAIN de Chabanais (-after 3 Aug 1214). King John granted "custodia terre et heredis Americi de Rupe Choard" to "Jord de Chabanes" until such heir[ess] was 20 years old and the right for him to marry the heiress ("eiusdem heredis prefato Jordano concessimus ducendam sibi in uxorem") by charter dated 30 Aug 1200[58]. King John issued an order to "Aymericus de Rupe Chiward Jordanus et Chiwardus de Chabbenes" dated 3 Aug 1214[59]. [Betrothed (30 Aug 1200, terminated before 14 Jul 1202) --- de Rochechouart, daughter of AIMERY [VII] [Vicomte] de Rochechouart & his wife --- ([1191/96]-[1202/04]). King John granted "custodia terre et heredis Americi de Rupe Choard" to "Jord de Chabanes", who was granted the right to marry "eiusdem heredis" by charter dated 30 Aug 1200[60]. Another relevant entry is dated 14 Jul 1202: King John regranted to “Guidon de Neillac” “Rupe Choardi cum honorem q tenetis cum heredem”, as granted by King Richard, to “filio vestro”[61]. The most likely explanation is that King Richard had granted Rochechouart and the marriage of its heiress to Guy de Neillac, that King John had attempted to replace him by Jourdain de Chabannes, that Jourdain had never succeeded in displacing Guy, and that eventually King John settled his dispute with Guy and confirmed his brother’s earlier grant. It is assumed that neither of these proposed marriages took place and that this heiress died childless in [1202/04] as another Aimery de Rochechouart (Aimery [IX]) is named in sources from [1204].]

An anonymous Chronicon of Saint-Marcial records the marriages in 1284 of "Lora filia Echivati de Cabanasio" and "R vicecomiti Turenne" and of "filius primogenitus dicti Raymundi" and "filiam dicte Lore"[81]. A charter dated 1297 records the appointment of arbitrators in the dispute between "Mathildis de Courtenaio comitissa Theati uxor…domini Philippi de Flandria, filii…comitis Flandrensis" and "Lora vicecomitissa Turenne domina de Cabanesio soror dicte domine Mathildis" concerning the county of Bigorre, which they had sold to "domina Johanna regina Francie et Navarre"[82]. A charter dated 1 Mar 1298 records the decision of the arbitrators in the dispute between "domina Matildim comitissam Theauti" and "dominam Loram vicecomitissam Turenne dominam de Cabanesio sororem dicte domine Mathildis" concerning the county of Bigorre, deciding that if the county was ever recovered from "domina Johanna regina Francie et Navarre" it should be held by both parties according to their respective shares[83]. A charter dated 1302 records that Philippe IV King of France summoned "comitem Fuxi, Margaritam comitissam Fuxo eius matrem, comitissam Armaignensem relictam domini Geraldi de Armaniaco, Constanciam vicecomitissam de Marciano, et Guillermam de Bearno dominam de Moncada" as proxy for "consortis nostre regine, Guillelmo Tesson militi et Lore vicecomitisse Turenne" for a hearing relating to the county of Bigorre[84]. “Raimundus vicecomes Turenæ miles” appointed “dominam Loram vicecomitissam Turenæ dominam de Chabanez aviam maternam prædictæ filiæ nostræ” as guardian of his daughter Marguerite by charter dated 11 Jun 1304[85]. "Lore vicomtesse de Turenne dame de Chabanès, comme tutrice des enfants de feu Aimery de Rochechouart, damoiseau, son neveu" contracted the marriage of "sa nièce Lore avec Simon de Rochechouart chevalier, seigneur de Saint-Laurent, avec les dispenses de parenté, lesquelles seraient obtenues du Pape" dated "le vendredy après Saint-Nicolas d’hyver 1304", which also records that "Messire Foucaud de Rochechouart doyen de Bourges donna audit Simon son frère cent livres de rente..." and "la dite dame vicomtesse fait mention de son testament et de ses enfants Aimery et Jean"[86]. m firstly --- de la Roche, son of --- (-before 1284). The problem of identifying the first husband of Lore de Chabanais is discussed below. m secondly (1284) as his second wife, RAYMOND [VI] Vicomte de Turenne, son of RAYMOND [V] [Vicomte] de Turenne & his wife Alemande de Malemort (-[1284/22 Feb 1285]).
1. ESCHIVAT de Chabanais . Eschivat de Chabanais, father of Amice, has not been identified. It appears unlikely that he was the same person as Eschivat de Chabanais (who died in 1283, see above) as he was comte de Bigorre, a title which would probably have been mentioned in the source quoted below if it had been applicable. m ---. The name of Eschivat’s wife is not known. Eschivat & his wife had one child: a) AMICE de Chabanais (-[before 1280]). An anonymous Chronicon of Saint-Marcial records that "Archambladus vicecomes Comborum...Guido primogenitus suus" married firstly "Amissiam filiam Echivati de Cabanisio" during the lifetime of his father and after her death "Almodiam filiam Gaufredi de Thouvaz"[87]. m (before 1276) as his first wife, GUY de Comborn, son of ARCHAMBAUD [VII] Vicomte de Comborn & his first wife Marie de Limoges (-after 1285). Vicomte de Comborn 1277.
--- de la Roche (-before 1284). The identity of the first husband of Lore de Chabanais is uncertain. No primary source has yet been identified which states his name. The only source so far found which indicates his family origin is the record of the 1503 hearing relating to the dispute over the inheritance of the county of Bigorre, which states that "dame Lore sa seur, fille…de…dame Hélys et Jordain de Chabannoys" succeeded "Eschivat" as comtesse de Bigorre and that she bequeathed the county to "messire Aymery de la Roche son filz"[88]. This document is of course extremely late. Nevertheless, the other genealogical details which it contains seem accurate, and none of them appears to have been challenged at the time by the king of France (the defendant in the 1503 lawsuit) according to the contemporary report of the hearing. The question is, how to interpret the name "de la Roche"? There appear to three possibilities: (1) A connection with the Rochechouart family. Europäische Stammtafeln names Lore’s first husband "Simon de Rochechouart, son of Aimery [IX] Vicomte de Rochechouart"[89]. This cannot be correct as it is demonstrated satisfactorily in the document LIMOUSIN that Simon, son of Aimery [IX], was archbishop of Bordeaux. The speculation is presumably based on the information in the following document: "Lore vicomtesse de Turenne dame de Chabanais" declared herself "tutrice des enfants de feu Aimery de Rochechouart, damoiseau, son neveu", when arranging the marriage of Simon de Rochechouart [son of Aimery [XI] Vicomte de Rochechouart] to her own grand-daughter, by charter dated 11 Dec 1304, the same document naming “Aimery et Jean“ as the children of “la dite dame vicomtesse“[90]. The only surviving reference to this document is a summary in French made in the mid-19th century by General de Rochechouart in his history of the Rochechouart family. He cites the original (presumably in Latin) in the “archives de la vicomté de Rochechouart, liasse AA”, which has not been traced. If "feu Aimery de Rochechouart" correctly records this individual’s name, the chronology dictates that he was Vicomte Aimery [XI], in which case Lore’s husband would have been --- de Rochechouart, son of Aimery [IX] Vicomte de Rochechouart & his wife [--- de Mortemart]. There are two main difficulties with this hypothesis. Firstly, in 1304 Aimery [XI]‘s children would have been too old to have needed Lore as their "tutrice". Secondly, the conclusion is unsatisfactory from a chronological point of view as the children of Aimery [IX] must have been born in the early years of the 13th century, meaning that her first husband would have been considerably older than Lore. (2) A member of the Rochefoucauld family (see the document ANGOULÊME/LA MARCHE/PERIGORD), --- de la Roche/de la Rochefoucauld, son of ---, although no precise individual can be identified in that family as the possible first husband of Lore de Chabanais on the basis of information currently available. There appear to be two possibilities. Firstly, Aimery [I] Seigneur de la Rochefoucauld (died 1249 or after) and his wife Letice de Parthenay had a son Aimery who, according to Père Anselme, died childless[91]. The reliability of Père Anselme’s statement is not known. Secondly, Guy [VI] de la Rochefoucauld and his wife Agnes de Rochechouart (daughter of Vicomte Aimery [X]) had younger sons whose descents are not recorded by Père Anselme. If the first husband of Lore de Chabanais was of a similar age to his wife, the sons of Guy [VI] represent the more likely possibility. Two points appear to favour the Rochefoucauld case. Firstly, the name "Letice" was given to Lore’s daughter (although the primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified, see below). Secondly, it is more likely that Lore was appointed “tutrice” of the children of her deceased son Aimery. However, the Rochefoucauld hypothesis presents two difficulties: Firstly, the precise relationship between Lore de Chabanais and the Rochechouart family, which as noted in the 1304 document required dispensation for the marriage between Lore’s grand-daughter and Simon de Rochechouart. It appears unlikely that a dispensation would have been granted if Lore’s husband was descended from Agnes de Rochechouart as the family relationship would have been too close. Secondly, the existence of a cumulative series of errors in General de Rochechouart’s summary of the 11 Dec 1304 document: - the name “Rochechouart” applied to “feu Aimery” instead of “Rochefoucauld”. - either “son neveu” instead of “son fils” applied to the same person or (bearing in mind that “neveu” could be a translation of “nepos” meaning either nephew or grandson) “son neveu” instead of “ses petits-enfants”. - the children of Lore being named “Aimery...” not “ledit Aimery...”, when Lore herself is called “la dite dame vicomtesse” in that part of the summary, which suggests that two different individuals called Aimery may have been named in the document. (3) A completely different as yet unidentified family. The name “La Roche” was in medieval times attributed to other families, including for example La Roche-Saint-Maure and La Roche-Aymon in the Limousin area. In the same case, similar difficulties relating to the 1304 document would apply as are discussed above relating to case (2). Given the difficulties with each of these three cases, it appears difficult to conclude that any case is obviously more attractive than the others. m as her first husband, LORE de Chabanais, daughter of JOURDAIN ESCHIVAT [II] Seigneur de Chabanais & his wife Alix de Montfort Ctss de Bigorre ([1240/45]-1316). An anonymous Chronicon of Saint-Marcial records the death in 1284 of "Echivatus comes Bigorre et dominus de Cabanisio" in Navarre and the succession of "domina Lora soror sua"[92].

D. SEIGNEURS de LA TREMOILLE
La Trémoille, now called La Trimouille, is located about equidistant between Bélâbre and Montmorillon in the present-day French département of Vienne, arrondissement Montmorillon, canton La Trimouille. The origins of the La Trémoille family are obscure. Sainte-Marthe records that “Iean Bouchet Annaliste de Poitou, qui vivoit au commencement du siecle dernier” believed “que ces Seigneurs prenoient origine du Duché de Bourgogne”, commenting that this opinion was “sans estre fondez de preuves authentiques”[139]. He suggested that “il est plus veritable qu’ils sont originaires de la Province de Poitou” where they held “la ville et seigneurie de la Tremoille...située...sur les limites de la Marche” from the reign of Henri I King of France. Sainte-Marthe also comments that “quelques autres [auteurs]” considered that the family “estoit issuë puisnée de la Maison de Preuilly”, on the basis of “la conformité des armes que ces deux familles ont communes” but suggests that “cette conformité d’armes ne peut servir de preuve assurée pour établir cette origine”[140]. An interesting perspective is provided by Saint-Allais’s early 19th century Nobiliaire universel de France which states that Pierre de la Trémoille, shown below as the first recorded ancestor of the family, was “petit-fils de Guillaume III de Poitou duc d’Aquitaine”, without citing any earlier source on which he bases this statement[141]. Presumably Saint-Allais is referring to Guillaume V “le Grand” Duke of Aquitaine (Guillaume III Comte de Poitou) (see the document AQUITAINE DUKES). From a chronological point of view, this ancestry is difficult to sustain unless one of Pierre’s parents was the duke’s illegitimate child or, less probably, was born from the duke’s first marriage. However, if the suggestion is based on a primary source, one possibility is that the document referred to Pierre as the duke’s “nepos”, a term which could indicate grandson, nephew, or even a more remote family relationship. It should be noted that a [971] charter issued by Guillaume [IV] Duke of Aquitaine (Guillaume III Comte de Poitou) refers to unnamed "filiis ac filiabus ex nobis procreatis"[142]. It is therefore not impossible that Pierre was the son of one of these unnamed daughters. It should be emphasised that this suggestion is entirely speculative.
The reconstruction of the early generations of this family is based almost exclusively on the mid-17th century history written by the brothers Sainte-Marthe which cites numerous primary source documents (using imprecise citation references) which have not otherwise been traced.
The family relationships, if any, between the following individuals have not been ascertained. Sainte-Marthe suggests a reconstruction which includes many of these persons but cites no sources which corroborate their connections, unless otherwise stated below[143].
1. PIERRE de la Trémoille (-after [1040]). Sainte-Marthe states that Pierre Seigneur de la Trémoille signed “une charte de manumission dans l’église de S. Aubin d’Angers” dated [1040][144]. The corresponding charter has not been found in the published cartulary of Angers Saint-Aubin and the accuracy of this information is therefore unknown.
2. GUILLAUME [I] de la Trémoille (-after [1060/70]). "Willelmus atque Geraldus de Tremollia" are named in an undated charter for Poitiers Saint-Hilaire[145]. Sainte-Marthe dates this document to [1060/70] and suggests that “le temps auquel il vivoit fait presumer ils estoient freres et enfans de Pierre”, although the document includes no indication of family relationships[146].
3. GERARD de la Trémoille (-after [1060/70]). "Willelmus atque Geraldus de Tremollia" are named in an undated charter for Poitiers Saint-Hilaire[147]. Sainte-Marthe dates this document to [1060/70] and states that the two were brothers, although the document includes no indication of their family relationship[148].
Two brothers: 1. AUDEBERT [I] de la Trémoille (-after 1109). Sainte-Marthe states that Audebert Seigneur de la Trémoille witnessed a charter dated to [1060/86] under which Guillaume VIII Duke of Aquitaine donated “la moitié du lieu de Villesalem” to Vendôme La Trinité[149]. The corresponding charter has not been found in the published cartulary of La Trinité de Vendôme and the accuracy of this information is therefore unknown. Seigneur de la Trémoille: a manuscript records that “Audebertus Tremoliæ dominus” founded “cœnobium...Villesalem”, with the consent of “Pacotæ uxoris suæ”, in 1089[150]. Pierre Bishop of Poitiers confirmed that “Audebertus dominus de Tremolia miles” donated land for founding Villesalem, with the consent of “supradicto Audeberto milite et Paschota uxore sua”, by charter dated 1089[151]. Audebert de la Trémoille donated property at Villesalem to two hermits, for his soul and that of “Josbert de la Trémoille son frère”, with the consent of “Pasquette son épouse”, by undated charter[152].

SIMON "le Brun" de Lusignan, son of HUGUES [VII] "le Brun" Seigneur de Lusignan & his [first/second wife ---/Sarrazine ---] (-after [1167]). "Hugo Brunus dominus Lizinniaci" donated property to the abbey of Bécheron, with the consent of "Gaufridus frater ipsius, Simon Brunus, Rorgo et Galerandus fratres eius…", by undated charter, dated to [1167?][252]. Seigneur de Lezay. “Ugo Brunus de Liziniaco…filii mei Ugo de Liziniaco, Willelmus de Englia, Rorgo, Simo de Lozaico, Walerannus” were forgiven for their injustices against “ecclesiam S. Petri Pictavensis” (La Celle, outside Poitiers) by charter dated 1144[253].

It is not certain whether Guillaume was the son of Simon or of Rorgo.] 2. SIMON [II] (-after 1199). Seigneur de Lezay. Père Anselme refers to a charter dated "jeudy après le dimanche des Rameaux de l’an 1181" under which "Simon de Lezay et Hugues son frère" donated "l’hebergement de Vignau" to the church of Poitiers[256]. Père Anselme states that "Simon de Lezay" subscribed a charter dated 1199 under which Eleanor Queen of England, duchess of Aquitaine, donated property to Monstierneuf de Poitiers[257]. m ---. The name of Simon’s wife is not known. Simon [II] & his wife had [two] children: a) [SIMON [III] (-after 1253). Père Anselme states that "Simon de Lezay" donated property to the monks of Grandmont near Melle en Poitou by charter dated May 1226[258]. He cites no primary source which confirms his parentage. It is unclear whether this means that no such source survives. If that is correct, Simon [III] and his brother could have been (for example) sons of Hugues, brother of Simon [II].] m ([1238]) --- de Vivonne, daughter of SAVARY [I] Seigneur de Vivonne & his wife --- (-1260 or after). Père Anselme refers to an unspecified source which confirms that she was living in 1260[259]. Simon [III] & his wife had one child: i) [SIMON [IV] (-1331 or after). The chronology of the sources cited for Simon [IV] suggests that there may be a missing generation in this family. It appears unlikely that the son of a couple married in [1238] would testify in 1331. Simon de Lezay shared property with "Hugues de Lezay seigneur des Marais son oncle" by charter dated 1299[260]. Père Anselme states that the testament of "Simon de Lezay" is dated "le samedy après la Purification" in 1331 but cites no source[261].] - see below. b) [HUGUES .

Watson names "Jane de Lezay" as wife of Geoffrey without citing the corresponding primary source on which the information is based, although suggesting that she was the daughter of Simon [IV] Seigneur de Lezay by his second wife, highlighting that her son Jean de Mortemer was recorded in 1379 as guardian of Simon de Lezay, great-grandson of Simon [IV][271]. This last piece of information is found in Père Anselme, who cites no source either (see above)[272]. m GEOFFREY Mortimer, son of ROGER [V] de Mortimer Earl of March & his wife Joan de Geneville (-[1372/5 May 1376]).]
F. SEIGNEURS de LUSIGNAN
Painter notes that the castle of Lusignan "stood on the western bank of the river Vonne, a tributary of the Clain, about twenty miles southwest of Poitiers", commenting that all the possessions of Hugues [IV] de Lusignan "except the estates around the town of Saint-Maixent could have been enclosed in a circle with a radius of fifteen miles centering in Lusignan" and that "he was essentially a local potentate"[273]. The first two generations of the Lusignan family, shown below, are known only from references in contemporary or near contemporary chronicles. Other members of the family can be identified from 11th century cartularies but their precise family relationships cannot be established beyond all doubt. Hugues IV "le Brun" Seigneur de Lusignan is the first member of the family about whom anything is known besides his name. Charters issued by the Lusignan family are also included in the cartulary of the abbey of Noaillé, which has not yet been consulted[274].
HUGUES [I] "Venator/le Veneur". The Chronicle of Saint-Maixent records the death in 1110 of "Hugo [de Leziniaco] filius Hugonis Bruni", providing his ancestry "qui fuit Albi, qui fuit Cari, qui fuit Hugonis Venatoris"[275], although this text appears to omit a generation in the descent. m ---. The name of Hugues's wife is not known. Hugues [I] & his wife had one child: 1. HUGUES [II] "Carus/le Cher" . The Chronicle of Saint-Maixent names "Hugonis Kari" as builder of "castrum Liziniacum…primus castrum" and father of "Hugonis Albi"[276]. m ---. The name of Hugues's wife is not known. Hugues [II] & his wife had one child: a) HUGUES [III] "Albus" de Lusignan (-[1012]). The Chronicle of Saint-Maixent names "Hugonis Kari" as builder of "castrum Liziniacum…primus castrum" and father of "Hugonis Albi"[277]. Seigneur de Lusignan. "Gaulterius cognomento Granerius et uxor eius Anna, Alba cognominata" donated "ecclesiam Sancti Vicentii de Masels" to St Cyprien, Poitiers by charter dated to [1004/20], subscribed by "Hugonis Albi, de cujus casamento erat…"[278]. m ([967]) [ARSENDE], daughter of [--- de Vivonne & his wife ---]. "Ugo Liziniacensis domnus" donated property to St Cyprien, Poitiers by charter dated to [1012/18], subscribed by "Arsendis matris eius"[279], although it is not known with certainty that this document relates to her son Hugues [IV]. An indication of her possible family origin is provided by the manuscript, entitled "Conventus inter Comitem et Ugonem" by Besly, which records an agreement between "comes Pictavorum et præsul Gislebertus" (on the one part) and "Ioscelino avunculo Hugoni" (on the other), regarding the transfer of "castro…Vicredoni" to the latter after the death of the bishop, and after the death of both the first parties an agreement between "comes" and "episcopo Isemberto et Ugoni" transferred a half interest in the castle to the latter[280]. If "avunculo" in this document is interpreted strictly, Joscelin was the maternal uncle of Hugues. Duguet suggests[281] that these were the same persons as "Gauzscelini, Rosce uxoris sue…Ugonis nepotis Gauszelini" who witnessed the charter dated to [1004/15] under which "Gaufredus et uxor sua Oda" donated "alodium suum in villa Batrezia in vicaria Vicodonense" to Poitiers Saint-Cyprien[282]. Hugues [III] & his wife had one child: i) HUGUES [IV] "Brunus/le Brun" de Lusignan (-[1025/32]). The Chronicle of Saint-Maixent names "Hugonis Bruni" as "castrum Liziniacum…domini" and son of "Hugonis Albi"[283]. Seigneur de Lusignan. - see below.
HUGUES [IV] "le Brun" de Lusignan, son of HUGUES [III] "le Blanc" Seigneur de Lusignan & his wife Arsende --- (-[1025/32]). The Chronicle of Saint-Maixent names "Hugonis Bruni" as "castrum Liziniacum…domini" and son of "Hugonis Albi"[284]. Seigneur de Lusignan. "Ugo Liziniacensis domnus" donated property to St Cyprien, Poitiers by charter dated [1012/18], subscribed by "Arsendis matris eius"[285]. "Wilelmus Pictavorum comes et dux Aquitanorum…filius Guillelmi comitis" [Guillaume V Duke of Aquitaine] granted revenue to "militi meo…Ugoni", to compensate him for the loss of revenue from a tax imposed on the town of Saint-Maixent, by charter dated to [1023/26][286]. An undated charter, dated to [1030], records a final agreement between Guillaume V Duke of Aquitaine and “Hugone Chiliarcum” [Hugues [IV] Seigneur de Lusignan] settling long-standing disputes (see below for a summary of the marriage negotiations for Hugues which formed part of settlement proposals)[287]. The document records the territorial ambitions of "Hugone Chiliarchum" in "castro…Vicredoni…castrum Coacus…Kaziaco…castrum Malavallis…Malè…Aspremundo castro…castrum Gentiaco…" {[Vicredonus], Couhé, Chizé, Malvau, Melle, [Aspremont], Gençay}. It also records that Hugues [IV] died a year after his final agreement with Duke Guillaume. Painter suggests that his death should be dated to some time between 1025 and 1032[288]. m AUDEARDE, daughter of ---. "Hugo Liziniacensis" donated property to St Cyprien by charter dated [1025] "sub testimonio Hildeardis uxoris sue et infantum suorum Hugonis et Rorgonis, Walterii prepositi et Belielini filii eius"[289]. The naming of Audéarde's grandson, Jourdain, suggests a connection with the family of Chabanais. In addition, the cartulary of Lesterps states that Jourdain [III] de Chabanais was killed at "Casech", most likely Chizé, which had been taken by Hugues [IV] Seigneur de Lusignan in order to obtain Vivonne. Duguet records that the name "Audeard" is found in the Chabanais family, a first cousin of Jourdain [III] of this name being a nun at Saint-Sylvain de la Mongie in 1010[290]. There are indications of a plan for Hugues [IV] to marry --- de Thouars, daughter of Raoul [I] Vicomte de Thouars & his wife Aremburgis [Aisceline] ---. An undated charter, dated to [1030], records a final agreement between Guillaume V Duke of Aquitaine and “Hugone Chiliarcum” [Hugues [IV] Seigneur de Lusignan] settling long-standing disputes, reciting that “Savaricus...vicecomes” had taken from Hugues land which Duke Guillaume had granted, that after Savary’s death a settlement was proposed with “Radulfo fratri supra dicto mortuo” involving Hugues marrying “vicecomiti Radulfo...filiam eius”, that Duke Guillaume had counter-proposed that Hugues should receive "de castro Parteniaco Ioscelinus…honorem et mulierem eius", that after Raoul’s death a new agreement was reached “cum Josfredum vicecomite...nepos...Radulfo”[291]. Imbert indicates that the marriage between Hugues [IV] and the daughter of Vicomte Raoul did take place[292]. However, it is unclear from the charter dated to [1030] that this is correct. In any case, the dispute dragged on so long without resolution that it would not be surprising if Hugues had married another person in the meantime. The conclusion is that there is no certainty that Audéarde, wife of Hugues [IV], was the daughter of Raoul [I] Vicomte de Thouars. Hugues IV & his wife had [three] children: 1. HUGUES [V] "le Pieux" de Lusignan (-killed in battle Lusignan 8 Oct 1060). "Hugo Liziniacensis" donated property to St Cyprien by charter dated [1025] "sub testimonio Hildeardis uxoris sue et infantum suorum Hugonis et Rorgonis, Walterii prepositi et Belielini filii eius"[293]. "…Ugonis et Rorgonis fratrum…" subscribed the charter dated to [1031/46, maybe [1032]] under which "Gauterius et uxor sua Anna" donated "alodium suum…Montem Gaudonum…uno milario distans de Liziniaco" to Poitiers Saint-Cyprien[294].

HUGUES [VIII] "le Brun" de Lusignan, son of HUGUES [VII] "le Brun" Seigneur de Lusignan & his first wife --- (-[in Palestine after 1164]). "Hugo Brunus de Liziniaco" recognised himself as the vassal of Saint-Maixent for the lands held from the abbey with the consent of "uxore mea Sarracena et filiis meis Hugone et Guillelmo" by charter dated 1106[355]. “Ugo Brunus de Liziniaco…filii mei Ugo de Liziniaco, Willelmus de Englia, Rorgo, Simo de Lozaico, Walerannus” were forgiven for their injustices against “ecclesiam S. Petri Pictavensis” (La Celle, outside Poitiers) by charter dated 1144[356]. Seigneur de Lusignan.

"Hugo Brunus comes Marchie", on leaving for Jerusalem, confirmed the grant of rights to the abbey of Châtelliers made "in 1171" by "Hugo Lezenniaci castelli" by charter dated 1218[358]. The original grant was more likely dated to before 1163 as no other evidence has been found that Hugues [VIII] made a second journey to Jerusalem in 1171. William of Tyre names him "Hugo de Liniziaco senior…cognominatus Brunus" when he arrived on pilgrimage in Jerusalem in 1163 with "Gaufridus cognominatus Martel" brother of the Count of Angoulême[359]. William of Tyre records that he combined forces with Raymond III Count of Tripoli, Konstantinos Kalamános, and Bohémond III Prince of Antioch to repel the attack by Nur ed-Din on the castle of Krak in Sep 1163[360]. Hugues joined the same group in Aug 1164 to relieve another attack on Harenc, but was captured in an ambush at Artah, together with the other leaders, and taken bound to Aleppo[361]. A letter from Aimery Patriarch of Antioch to Louis VII King of France, dated 1164, records that "Hugo de Lesiniaco" was captured in the battle to capture "castellum…Harenc"[362]. According to Edbury, he never regained his freedom[363]. "Hugo Brunus dominus Lizinniaci" donated property to the abbey of Bécheron, with the consent of "Gaufridus frater ipsius, Simon Brunus, Rorgo et Galerandus fratres eius…", by undated charter, dated to [1167?][364]. m (before 1147) BOURGOGNE de Rancon, daughter of GEOFFROY [III] de Rancon Seigneur de Taillebourg & his wife --- (-after 11 Apr 1169). "Burgunna uxor Ugoni de Lezinan" donated land "juxta Barra Marian" to Absie, with the consent of "Ugone marito suo et Gaufrido de Rancone patre suo", by undated charter[365]. Painter states that her marriage portion was the castle of Vouvant[366]. "Ugo de Liziniaco" renounced rights over "terram…Ioarena" in favour of Nouaillé by undated charter, subscribed by "…Burgundie uxoris sue, Ugonis filii sui, Roberti filii sui, Gaufredi filii sui, Petri filii sui…"[367]. Hugues [VIII] & his wife had seven children: 1. HUGUES [IX] de Lusignan (-before 16 Mar 1169). "Ugo de Liziniaco" renounced rights over "terram…Ioarena" in favour of Nouaillé by undated charter, subscribed by "…Burgundie uxoris sue, Ugonis filii sui, Roberti filii sui, Gaufredi filii sui, Petri filii sui…"[368]. An undated charter of "Hugo de Lesignan filius Burgundiæ" records to his donation to the abbey of l'Absie with the consent of "patre meo Ugone Lezigniaci"[369]. "Hugues le Brun" donated property, for the souls of "sa femme Aurengardis, son fils Hugues, sa fille Ainordis et son frère Geoffroy", by charter dated 12 Nov 1166[370]. "Gaufridus de Lizigniaco" donated property to the abbey of l'Absie for the souls of "fratris mei Hugonis" with the consent of "Burgundie matre mea" dated "primie die post sepulturam Hugonis fratris mei…1169"[371]. m [firstly] ORENGARDE, daughter of ---. "Hugues le Brun" donated property, for the souls of "sa femme Aurengardis, son fils Hugues, sa fille Ainordis et son frère Geoffroy", by charter dated 12 Nov 1166[372]. [m secondly [as her first husband,] DOUCE, daughter of --- (-after 1168).] A charter dated 1168 records a donation of property to the Knights Hospitallers by "Hugo de Lusignan, Dulcia uxor et Alamanda filia eiusdem"[373]. This assumes that "Hugo de Lusignan" in this document can be identified with Hugues [IX] de Lusignan. Hugues [IX]’s widow may have married secondly, as his second wife, Guillaume [III] Maingot Seigneur de Surgères. This second marriage is suggested by the document, dated (by Delisle) to [1209], under which "comes Augi" (Raoul de Lusignan "d’Exoudun" Comte d’Eu, see below) pledged his lands for his homage to Philippe II King of France, and that of "fratres sui comes Marchie et vicecomes Castri Eraudi"[374]. Assuming that this document is correctly dated, "vicecomes Castri Eraudi" at the time was Hugues de Surgères. A second marriage of Raoul’s mother would be the only way in which Hugues de Surgères could be correctly called "frater" of Hugues [X] de Lusignan and Raoul de Lusignan Comte d’Eu. If Orengarde/Douce can correctly be identified as the [second] wife of Hugues [IX], and mother of Raoul, it is likely that she was heiress of Exoudun which was transmitted to Raoul.] Hugues [IX] & his [first] wife had [two] children: a) HUGUES [X] "le Brun" de Lusignan (-Damietta 5 Nov 1219). "Hugues le Brun" donated property, for the souls of "sa femme Aurengardis, son fils Hugues, sa fille Ainordis et son frère Geoffroy", by charter dated 12 Nov 1166[375]. His parentage is confirmed indirectly by the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Radulfum de Esselduno qui fuit comes Augi" as "Hugo Brunus fratrem natu maiorem" (presumably an error for "minorem"), adding that "horum pater Hugo de Lisegnen" had "fratres…Gaufridum, Henricum regem Cypri et Guidonem regem Ierosolimorum"[376]. If the charter dated 1168 quoted above correctly refers to Hugues [IX] de Lusignan, the absence of Hugues [X] from the document suggests that he must have been the younger child of his parents, maybe born after the date of the charter. He succeeded his grandfather in 1173 as Seigneur de Lusignan. Comte de la Marche: "Hugo Brun com March et Rad com Augi" swore homage to John King of England, dated 28 Jan 1200[377]. "Hugo Brunus comes Marchie, dominus Lezignaci et Coiaci" renounced rights over income belonging to Saint-Hilaire de Poitiers, claimed by "avus meus…dominus Hugo de Lezigniaco" but relinquished by him before leaving for Jerusalem, with the consent of "filio meo Hugone Bruno quem tunc unicum habebam", by charter dated 23 Feb 1200[378]. b) AINORDIS . "Hugues le Brun" donated property, for the souls of "sa femme Aurengardis, son fils Hugues, sa fille Ainordis et son frère Geoffroy", by charter dated 12 Nov 1166[379]. Hugues [IX] & his [second] wife had [two] children: c) [ALAMANDA (-after 1168). "Hugo de Lusignan, Dulcia uxor et Alamanda filia eiusdem" donated property to the Knights Hospitallers by charter dated 1168[380], which, as noted above, may refer to Hugues [IX] de Lusignan.] d) RAOUL de Lusignan "d'Exoudun" ([1169]-Melle 1 May 1219, bur Exoudun). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Radulfum de Esselduno qui fuit comes Augi" as "Hugo Brunus fratrem natu maiorem" (presumably an error for "minorem"), adding that "horum pater Hugo de Lisegnen" had "fratres…Gaufridum, Henricum regem Cypri et Guidonem regem Ierosolimorum"[381]. "Maiorem" is presumably an error in this source for "minorem", or represents a transcription error: no scenario has been identified in which Raoul being the older brother is compatible with the other information relating to the Lusignan family. Raoul was not named in his father’s charter dated 12 Nov 1166, suggesting that he was born later. As the charter dated 1168 names Douce as wife of "Hugo de Lusignan", who can probably be identified as Hugues [IX], it is likely that Raoul from this supposed second marriage, after his supposed sister Alamanda. If this hypothesis is correct, Raoul must have been born in 1169, maybe posthumously. According to the Complete Peerage, "Esselduno" was "Exoudun, Deux-Sèvres, arrondissement Melle, canton La Mothe-Saint-Héray" not "Issoudun, Indre"[382], although the editor of the Monumenta Germanica series states that the place was "Issoudun, départ. Indre"[383]. Painter states that Exoudun was "a village to the southeast of St Maixent"[384]. He succeeded as Comte d'Eu, by right of his wife. The date of the marriage and Raoul’s succession as count is uncertain. It must have taken place before 1194 when "comes de Auco" paid scutage on land in Sussex[385]. "Radulfus Augensium comes" confirmed donations to Tréport, made by "antecessores mei comes…Robertus et Guillelmus filius eius et Henricus avus Henrici junioris et Johannes pater eiusdem Henrici et idem H.", by charter dated 1191[386], indicating that the marriage took place some years earlier assuming that this document is correctly dated. The Annals of Burton record that “Warinus de Clapiun senescallus Normanniæ” besieged “castellum de Denecurt”, on the orders of John King of England, adding that King Richard had given the castle to “Radulpho de Ysoudun comiti de Aueo, fratri Hugonis le Brun”, but that the siege was lifted by Philippe King of France before the arrival of King John[387]. The same passage is given by Roger of Hoveden[388]. "Hugo Brun com March et Rad com Augi" swore homage to John King of England, dated 28 Jan 1200[389]. Ralph of Coggeshall records that in 1202 John King of England made war against "comitem de Marchis…Hugonem cognomento Brun et fratrem eius comitem de Eu" who had rebelled against him "pro filia comitis Engolismi, quam Hugo prædictus prius affidaverat"[390]. - COMTES d'EU. 2. ROBERT de Lusignan . "Ugo de Liziniaco" renounced rights over "terram…Ioarena" in favour of Nouaillé by undated charter, subscribed by "…Burgundie uxoris sue, Ugonis filii sui, Roberti filii sui, Gaufredi filii sui, Petri filii sui…"[391]. 3. GEOFFROY de Lusignan (-1216). "Ugo de Liziniaco" renounced rights over "terram…Ioarena" in favour of Nouaillé by undated charter, subscribed by "…Burgundie uxoris sue, Ugonis filii sui, Roberti filii sui, Gaufredi filii sui, Petri filii sui…"[392]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Gaufridum, Henricum regem Cypri et Guidonem regem Ierosolimorum" as brothers of "Hugo de Lisegnen"[393]. "Hugo Brunus dominus Lizinniaci" donated property to the abbey of Bécheron, with the consent of "Gaufridus frater ipsius, Simon Brunus, Rorgo et Galerandus fratres eius…", by charter dated [1167][394]. "Gaufridus de Lizigniaco" donated property to the abbey of l'Absie for the souls of "fratris mei Hugonis" with the consent of "Burgundie matre mea" dated "primie die post sepulturam Hugonis fratris mei…1169"[395]. William of Tyre (Continuator) specifies that Geoffroy was older than his brother Guy Lord of Cyprus, when recording his nomination as heir to his brother[396]. With his brother Guy, he rebelled against Henry II King of England, his suzerain in Poitou, in 1173[397]. Ralph de Diceto’s Abbreviationes Chronicorum record in 1188 that “Gaufridus de Liziniaco” killed “familiarissimum Ricardum comitem”[398]. "Gaufridus de Lezeniaco, Aimericus, regius conestabulus…" subscribed the charter dated 19 Nov 1189 under which "Guido rex Hierosolymitanus" confirmed privileges to the Pisans[399]. Brother of Guy King of Jerusalem, he took part in the attack on Acre led by his brother in 1189[400]. Seigneur de Vouvent, de Mervent et de Montcontour, by right of his first wife. Richard I King of England appointed him Governor of Jaffa and Caesarea in 1191[401]. His brother Guy Lord of Cyprus bequeathed his authority in Cyprus to Geoffroy, but the latter had returned to France and the Franks in Cyprus summoned their younger brother Amaury in his place[402]. "Goffridus de Lezignem dominus Montiscantorii" donated property to the abbey of l'Absie, naming "Ugonem filium meum" and with the consent of "domina Eustachia uxor mea et Goffridus filius meus adhuc infantulus", by charter dated May 1200[403]. Ralph of Coggeshall records that "…Gaufridum de Lucinan et Hugonem Brunum et Andream de Caveni et vicecomitem de Castro-Eraldi et Reimundum Tuarz et Savarium de Mauleun et Hugonem Baugii" were captured, together with "Arturum nepotem nostrum" [Arthur Duke of Brittany] after they rebelled and attempted to capture "castellum de Mirabel" where "regina Alienor avia Arturi" was living, dated to 1202[404]. The Chronicon Bernardi Iterii records the death in 1216 of "Gaufre de Lesina"[405]. m [firstly] HUMBERGE de Limoges, daughter of ADEMAR [V] Vicomte de Limoges & his wife Sarah of Cornwall ([1160/80]-[before 1200]). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Guidonem, Ademarum et Guillermum…Peregrinus…filiam Margaretam…Aquiliam…Humbergam …Mariam" as children of "Ademarum" and his wife "Sarram", specifying that Humberge married "Gaufredo de Lesigniaco"[406]. The chronology of Humberge’s life is difficult to determine. However, considering the dates of her parents and the other members of this family, it appears unlikely that she was born later than [1160/80]. This would suggest that she must have been the first wife of her husband and died before 1200, when he is named in a charter with another wife and young son. m [secondly] (before [1199]) EUSTACHIE Chabot Dame de Vouvent et de Mervent, daughter of [THIBAUT [III] Chabot & his wife Marguerite Loubet] (-after May 1200). "Eustachia uxor mea et Goffridus filius meus adhuc infantulus" consented to the donation by "Goffridus de Lezignem dominus Montiscantorii" to the abbey of l'Absie dated May 1200, which also names "Ugonem filium meum"[407]. The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. Sandret states that Eustachie was the daughter of Thibaut [II] Chabot and his wife Marguerite, but cites no primary source which confirms that this statement is correct[408]. Père Anselme notes her supposed father and grandfather Sebrand [I] Chabot as “Seigneurs de Vouvent”[409]. No charter has been identified which names them as such, and indeed the only source so far identified which associates Vouvent with the Chabot family is the highly dubious fragmentary chronicle of the dukes of Aquitaine (concerning the supposed Puy-du-Fou family) which names "Sigebertus Chabot de Volvento" when recording his supposed marriage (see above). Geoffroy [I] & [his first wife] had one child: a) HUGUES (-after May 1200). "Goffridus de Lezignem dominus Montiscantorii" names "Ugonem filium meum" in his donation to the abbey of l'Absie by charter dated May 1200[410]. The charter does not specify that Hugues gave his consent to the donation, in contrast to his younger brother Geoffroy. Hugues must also have been considerably older than Geoffroy [II], the latter being described in the document as "adhuc infantulus". This suggests that he was born from the first marriage of Geoffroy [I], or else was illegitimate. Geoffroy [I] & his second wife had three children: b) GEOFFROY [II] de Lusignan “la Grand’ Dent” (-[Jan 1247/1248], bur [Vouvent]). "Eustachia uxor mea et Goffridus filius meus adhuc infantulus" consented to the donation by "Goffridus de Lezignem dominus Montiscantorii" to the abbey of l'Absie dated May 1200, which also names "Ugonem filium meum"[411]. The linking of the name of Geoffroy [II] in this document with "Eustachia uxor mea" suggests that she was his mother, especially as he is described as "adhuc infantulus". He succeeded his father in 1224 as Seigneur de Vouvent et de Mervent. Vicomte de Châtellerault, by right of his wife: “Gaufridus de Lizegnan” did homage to Louis VIII King of France for “vicecomitatu Castri Eraudi, qui provenit michi ex parte Clementie uxoris mee, filie Hugonis quondam vicecomitis Castri Eraudi” by charter dated May 1224[412]. "Gaufridus de Lezigniaco vicecomes Castri Ayraudi" donated property to Saint-Denis en Vaux by charter dated Mar 1228[413]. Henry III King of England ordered that "Galfridum de Lezyniaco" pledge "castra sua de Vovent et de Merevent", as well as the lands of "Emericum de Lezyniaco fratrem ipsius G", for loyal service, dated [Oct] 1230[414]. “Geoffreiz de Lezignen, sires de Vouvent et de Mairevent” donated property “aux frères de Munsignor Saint Ladre d’Ostremer”, for the souls of “mun bun père sire Geoffreys de Lezignen lo prodome et de ma dame Eustache ma bonne mere”, by charter dated 1234[415]. “Gaufridus de Lyzengniaco miles” acknowledged holding “castrum…Vovent…castrum…de Mervent” from Louis IX King of France, and "villam de Soubise, que est neptis mee", by charter dated 6 Jun 1242[416]. Seigneur de Sainte-Hermine. The testament of Geoffroy names “Audæ uxoris meæ…Arpino filio meo…Aaliz filiæ meæ et Borgoigne” and chooses his burial in the church of Notre-Dame de Vouvent[417]. m firstly (before May 1224) CLEMENCE Vicomtesse de Châtellerault, daughter and heiress of HUGUES [III] Vicomte de Châtellerault & his wife Eustachie de Mauléon (-before 13 May 1239). “Gaufridus de Lizegnan” did homage to Louis VIII King of France for “vicecomitatu Castri Eraudi, qui provenit michi ex parte Clementie uxoris mee, filie Hugonis quondam vicecomitis Castri Eraudi” by charter dated May 1224[418]. "G de Lezigniaco dominus Volventi et Maraventi" issued a charter dated "ante Pentecosto 1239" which records a prior donation by "nobilis mulier Clemencia vicecomitissa quondam Castri Eraudi uxor nostra defuncta"[419]. "Eustachia quondam vicecomitissa Castri Ayraudi, filia Radulfi de Maloleone bonæ memoriæ" donated property "in parrochia et in villa de Tessoele" to Absie, for the souls of "patris mei Radulfi de Maloleone, Aeliz matris meæ, Savarici fratris mei et Clemenciæ filiæ meæ", by charter dated Oct 1239[420]. An enquiry into "foresta de Moleria" records that "dominum Aymericum de Castro-Airaudi" held "Castri-Airaudi vicecomitatum" for "neptis sue" who later married "domini Gaufridi de Lezigniaco" and died "sine herede"[421]. m secondly (before 1246) AUDE, daughter of --- (-after 1248). The testament of Geoffroy names “Audæ uxoris meæ…Arpino filio meo…Aaliz filiæ meæ et Borgoigne”[422]. Geoffroy [II] had three [illegitimate] children by an unknown mistress or mistresses: i) ARPIN (-after 1248). The testament of Geoffroy names “Audæ uxoris meæ…Arpino filio meo…Aaliz filiæ meæ et Borgoigne”[423]. Nothing in the document indicates that Aude was the children’s mother. It is assumed that Geoffroy’s children were illegitimate as their father’s properties Vouvent and Mervent did not pass to them. ii) AELIS (-after 1248). The testament of Geoffroy names “Audæ uxoris meæ…Arpino filio meo…Aaliz filiæ meæ et Borgoigne”[424]. Nothing in the document indicates that Aude was the children’s mother. It is assumed that Geoffroy’s children were illegitimate as their father’s properties Vouvent and Mervent did not pass to them. iii) BOURGOGNE (-after 1248). The testament of Geoffroy names “Audæ uxoris meæ…Arpino filio meo…Aaliz filiæ meæ et Borgoigne”[425]. Nothing in the document indicates that Aude was the children’s mother. It is assumed that Geoffroy’s children were illegitimate as their father’s properties Vouvent and Mervent did not pass to them. c) AIMERY (-[Oct 1230/1242]). Henry III King of England ordered that "Galfridum de Lezyniaco" pledge "castra sua de Vovent et de Merevent", as well as the lands of "Emericum de Lezyniaco fratrem ipsius G", for loyal service, dated [Oct] 1230[426]. d) GUILLAUME de Lusignan dit de Valence (-[1226/30], bur Abbaye de la Grénetière). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Farcinet cites a charter dated 1230 which names "Marquise de Mauléon vidua quondam uxor Wilelmi de Valentia defuncti" and also records that the couple’s son Guillaume died young, all three being buried in the abbey of la Grénetière[427]. Seigneur de Mouchamps. m MARQUISE de Mauléon, daughter of SAVARY de Mauléon & his first wife Bellassez [de Pareds] (-[1230/26 Jul 1231], bur Abbaye de la Grénetière). The primary source which confirms her parentage has not been identified. 1226/30. Farcinet cites a charter dated 1230 which names Marquise de Mauléon "vidua quondam uxor Wilelmi de Valentia defuncti" and also records that the couple’s son Guillaume died young, all three being buried in the abbey of la Grénetière[428]. Marquise presumably predeceased her father as she is not named as party to the lawsuit between her sister Alix and their half-brother Raoul concerning their father’s inheritance[429]. Guillaume & his wife had three children: i) GUILLAUME de Lusignan (-young, bur Abbaye de la Grénetière). Farcinet cites a charter dated 1230 which names Marquise de Mauléon "vidua quondam uxor Wilelmi de Valentia defuncti" and also records that the couple’s son Guillaume died young, all three being buried in the abbey of la Grénetière[430]. ii) VALENCE de Lusignan (-after Apr 1270). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the Apr 1270 charter cited below. Dame de Soubise et de Vouvent. “Gaufridus de Lyzengniaco miles” acknowledged holding “castrum…Vovent…castrum…de Mervent” from Louis IX King of France, and "villam de Soubise, que est neptis mee", by charter dated 6 Jun 1242[431]. “Hugo dictus Archiepiscopus dominus Parteniaci et Volventi” gave homage to “Alfonso filio regis Francie, comiti Pictavensi” for "castris nostris Parteniaci, Volventi, Maireventi, Sobisie" by charter dated Sep 1248[432]. “Hugues l’Archevesque sire de Partenay de Vouvant et de Mervant et Valence sa femme” agreed to execute the testament of “feu Geoffroy de Lezignant çai en arrieres seignor de Vouvant et de Mervant” by charter dated Jun 1250[433]. "Hugo dictus Archiepiscopus, dominus Partiniaci, Volventi et Montis Cantoris" renounced rights over "terra et territorio et hominibus de Frontiniaco" in favour of Saint-Hilaire de Poitiers, naming "dominam Valentiam uxorem suam, dominam Partinicai, Volventi et Montis Cantoris", by charter dated 13 Feb 1262[434]. “Hugues dit l’Archeveque chev Sgr de Parthenay, Volvent et Marevent et Valence sa femme” renounced their claim over “les terres de l’abbaye de Bourgueil”, which “jadis...Gauffroy de Lézignan chev. en son vivant Sgr desdits de Volvent et Marevent” had granted [to the abbey], by charter dated Feb 1263[435]. “Bartholomeo domino de Haya et Passavanto”, in the name of “liberorum et heredum suorum communium ipsius Bartholomei et defuncte Aeline quondam uxoris sue, sororisque quondam mei dictæ Valencie”, transferred a share “in terra de Molli Campo, de Vedrine, et...in terra de Aspero Monte, et...in castellania de Monte Acuto et in insula de Olona” in the succession of “domine Marquisie matris quondam mei Valencie et dicte Aeline”, to “Hugo Archiepiscopi dominus Partiniaci et Volventi et Valencia eius uxor” by charter dated Apr 1270[436]. m (before Sep 1248) HUGUES [II] l’Archévêque Seigneur de Parthenay, son of GUILLAUME [V] l’Archëvêque Seigneur de Parthenay & his wife Amable de Rancon (-11 Apr 1271). iii) ALINE de Lusignan (-before Apr 1270). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the following document: “Bartholomeo domino de Haya et Passavanto”, in the name of “liberorum et heredum suorum communium ipsius Bartholomei et defuncte Aeline quondam uxoris sue, sororisque quondam mei dictæ Valencie”, transferred a share “in terra de Molli Campo, de Vedrine, et...in terra de Aspero Monte, et...in castellania de Monte Acuto et in insula de Olona” in the succession of “domine Marquisie matris quondam mei Valencie et dicte Aeline”, to “Hugo Archiepiscopi dominus Partiniaci et Volventi et Valencia eius uxor” by charter dated Apr 1270[437]. m BARTHELEMY Seigneur de La Haye et de Passavant, son of --- (-after Apr 1270). 4. PIERRE de Lusignan (-after Dec 1174). "Ugo de Liziniaco" renounced rights over "terram…Ioarena" in favour of Nouaillé by undated charter, subscribed by "…Burgundie uxoris sue, Ugonis filii sui, Roberti filii sui, Gaufredi filii sui, Petri filii sui…"[438]. "…Petrus de Lezignan…" subscribed a charter dated Dec 1174 under which Raymond Count of Tripoli donated property to the Knights Hospitallers[439], although it is not certain that this refers to Pierre son of Hugues [VIII] de Lusignan. 5. AMAURY de Lusignan ([1145]-murdered Acre 1 Apr 1205). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Gaufridum, Henricum [error for Haimericum] regem Cypri et Guidonem regem Ierosolimorum" as brothers of "Hugo de Lisegnen"[440]. "…Aimericus de Lisenian…" subscribed a charter dated 13 Dec 1174 under which Baudouin IV King of Jerusalem donated property to the Knights Hospitallers[441], which appears to be the first mention of his name in the Levant. Baudouin IV King of Jerusalem appointed him as Constable of Jerusalem in 1181[442]. He supported the rebellion of the Pisans at Tyre in May 1192, was arrested by Henri de Champagne King of Jerusalem, but retired to Jaffa on his release. King Henri, considering that Amaury had thereby forfeited his office of Constable, appointed Jean of Ibelin as Constable in his place[443]. Amaury's younger brother Guy Lord of Cyprus had bequeathed his authority in Cyprus to their older brother Geoffroy de Lusignan but, as the latter had returned to France in [1192], the Franks in Cyprus summoned Amaury to succeed as Lord of Cyprus in 1194[444]. The rivalry with the kingdom of Jerusalem was suspended when Henri de Champagne King of Jerusalem visited Cyprus in 1194, the new alliance being sealed by the betrothal of Amaury's three young sons to Queen Isabelle's three young daughters[445]. Amaury did homage to Emperor Heinrich VI, through his ambassador Renier of Jebail, at Gelnhausen in Oct 1195, in return being recognised by the emperor as AMAURY I King of Cyprus. He was crowned in Sep 1197 at Nicosia, where he did homage once more to the emperor's representative Konrad von Querfurt, Bishop of Hildesheim, who was present at the ceremony as Imperial Chancellor[446]. On the death of Henri de Champagne King of Jerusalem in Sep 1197, King Amaury was proposed by the German leaders, headed by Konrad von Wittelsbach Archbishop of Mainz, as the best candidate to become Queen Isabelle's fourth husband. King Amaury arrived at Acre in Jan 1198, married Isabelle and was crowned with his wife a few days later as AMAURY II King of Jerusalem. The two kingdoms were linked only by the person of the monarch, as each retained its own administrative identity[447]. After the collapse of the German crusade in early 1198, King Amaury opened negotiations with al-Adil (Saladin's brother) although the six year peace treaty was not signed until Sep 1204, under the terms of which Beirut, Sidon, Jaffa and Ramleh were transferred back to the kingdom of Jerusalem[448]. "Aymericus…Latinorum Jerusalem rex nonus et rex Cipri" donated property to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem by charter dated Mar 1201 which names "frater meus rex Guido"[449]. On the death of King Amaury in 1205, the two kingdoms of Jerusalem and Cyprus were separated once more. 6. GUY de Lusignan (-1194 after 18 Aug, bur Nicosia). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Gaufridum, Henricum regem Cypri et Guidonem regem Ierosolimorum" as brothers of "Hugo de Lisegnen"[450]. William of Tyre names him son of "Hugonis Bruni" when recording his arrival in Palestine in [1179] and marriage[451]. While still living in France, Guy was proposed by his brother Amaury, who had by then already acquired a position of influence in the kingdom of Jerusalem, as the husband of Sibylle heiress of Jerusalem after the death of her first husband. Guy arrived in Palestine in 1179, and was installed as Count of Jaffa and Ascalon on his marriage[452]. "Guido Joppensis et Ascalonitanus comes…" subscribed the charter dated 1 Mar 1181 under which Baudouin IV King of Jerusalem granted property to the abbot of Mount Tabor[453]. King Baudouin IV appointed him as regent of Jerusalem in 1182 after the king fell ill at Nazareth, although the king retained personal control over the city of Jerusalem. Dissatisfied with his performance, the king deposed Guy from the regency 23 Mar 1183 after a quarrel and attempted to bar him from succession to the throne[454]. Guy retired to his counties of Jaffa and Ascalon, throwing off his allegiance to the crown. King Baudouin seized Jaffa, but Guy continued to defy the king at Ascalon[455]. His wife Sibylle succeeded as Queen of Jerusalem in 1186 after the death of her infant son King Baudouin V. After her own coronation, his wife crowned him as GUY I King of Jerusalem. After Saladin's invasion of Galilee in summer 1187, the Christian army was defeated at Hattin 4 Jul 1187, where King Guy was captured. He was kept in prison at Nablus, later at Lattakieh. Saladin moved on to capture Ascalon in Sep 1187 and Jerusalem 2 Oct 1187[456]. Saladin released King Guy in Jul 1188, after he promised to abandon the kingdom (an oath he later declared invalid for having been made under duress), and he joined Queen Sibylle at Tripoli[457]. Guy marched from Tripoli to Tyre, hoping to resume control of what remained of the kingdom of Jerusalem, but was refused entry to the city by Corrado di Monferrato. He made another unsuccessful attempt to enter Tyre in Apr 1189, with help from Pisan and Sicilian forces, but in Aug 1189 marched south to attack Acre[458]. After he was joined in the siege by Corrado di Monferrato, the pair settled their differences and Corrado agreed to recognise Guy as king while continuing to hold Tyre himself, together with Beirut and Sidon[459]. After his wife's death in 1190, King Guy's title to the crown was thrown into doubt. Balian of Ibelin arranged the marriage of Guy's sister-in-law, Isabelle of Jerusalem, by then heir to the throne, to Corrado di Monferrato, but King Guy refused to abdicate. After Acre finally capitulated to the Christian siege 12 Jul 1191[460], the European dignitaries decided that Guy should remain as king of Jerusalem for life, after which the crown would pass to Corrado di Monferrato, his wife Isabelle and their issue[461]. However, following further quarrels between the crusader leaders, King Richard called a council in Apr 1192 which decided that Corrado should replace Guy as king[462]. King Richard agreed to sell Cyprus to King Guy, providing a convenient way of removing him from the scene. Although King Corrado was murdered at the end of April, his widow remarried within a week. It appears that Guy became involved in a plot with the Pisans to seize Tyre[463], but he left the mainland for Cyprus in early May 1192, installing himself as Lord of Cyprus although he continued to claim the kingdom of Jerusalem until his death in late 1194[464]. Cyprus passed technically under the suzerainty of Emperor Heinrich VI in Feb 1194 when Richard I King of England swore allegiance to the emperor as part of the terms for his release from captivity, the island being considered at the time as an English possession[465]. The Chronicle of Amadi records the death in 1194 of "Guido de Hierusalem" and his burial in "la madre chiesia di Nicossia"[466]. m (Apr 1180) as her second husband, SIBYLLE of Jerusalem, widow of GUGLIELMO "Lungaspada" di Monferrato, daughter of AMAURY I King of Jerusalem & his first wife Agnès de Courtenay ([1160]-Acre [Sep/21 Oct] 1190[467]). This marriage was proposed by Amaury de Lusignan, older brother of her future husband, who was her mother's lover[468]. On the death of her son in 1186, she was proclaimed SIBYLLE Queen of Jerusalem. 7. GUILLAUME de Lusignan (-before Sep 1208). Guy King of Jerusalem confirmed the marriage agreement between "comitem Joscelinum senescalcum primogenitam filiam suam" and "Guillelmo de Valence, frater regis", by charter dated 21 Oct 1186, which specifies that her dowry was "Torono, Castro novo…Cabor"[469]. Seigneur de Valence. m (after 21 Oct 1186) as her first husband, BEATRICE de Courtenay Lady of Toron (part), Castro Novo and Cabor, daughter of JOSCELIN [III] de Courtenay Count of Edessa & his wife Agnes de Milly ([1176]-after 1245). The Lignages d'Outremer name (in order) "Biatris et Annés" as the two daughters of "dou conte Jocelin" & his wife, specifying that Beatrix married "un conte aleman maugré le rei Heymeri" and died without heirs[470]. Guy King of Jerusalem confirmed the marriage agreement between "comitem Joscelinum senescalcum primogenitam filiam suam" and "Guillelmo de Valence, frater regis", by charter dated 21 Oct 1186, which specifies that her dowry was "Torono, Castro novo…Cabor"[471]. She married secondly (before Sep 1208) Otto Graf von Henneberg und Rotenlauben. "Otto comes (de Henneberg)" donated property to the Teutonic Knights at Acre, with the consent of "uxoris Beatricis, filiæ quondam comitis Joscelini", by charter dated Sep 1208[472].
G. SEIGNEURS de VIVONNE
The town of Vivonne lies south of Poitiers, along the road towards Angoulême. I am grateful to Margaret Schooling for her help in preparing the reconstruction of this family and providing copies of primary source material where shown below.
1. JOSCELIN [I] de Vivonne (-[1025/30]). The manuscript, entitled "Conventus inter Comitem et Ugonem" by Besly, records an agreement between "comes Pictavorum et præsul Gislebertus" (on the one part) and "Ioscelino avunculo Hugoni" (on the other), regarding the transfer of "castro…Vicredoni" to the latter after the death of the bishop, and after the death of both the first parties an agreement between "comes" and "episcopo Isemberto et Ugoni" transferred a half interest in the castle to the latter[473]. m [ROSCA, daughter of ---. Duguet suggests[474] that these were the same persons as "Gauzscelini, Rosce uxoris sue…Ugonis nepotis Gauszelini" who witnessed the charter dated to [1004/15] under which "Gaufredus et uxor sua Oda" donated "alodium suum in villa Batrezia in vicaria Vicodonense" to Poitiers Saint-Cyprien[475]. Joscelin & his wife had one child: a) son . Painter states that Joscelin’s son was "the ancestor of the house of Vivonne" and retained "actual command of the castle" after the arrangement with his first cousin Hugues [IV] de Lusignan, but he does not cite the corresponding primary source[476]. 2. [ARSENDE] . If "avunculo" is interpreted strictly in the document quoted above, Joscelin de Vivonne was the maternal uncle of Hugues [IV] de Lusignan. "Ugo Liziniacensis domnus" donated property to St Cyprien, Poitiers by charter dated to [1012/18], subscribed by "Arsendis matris eius"[477], although it is not known with certainty that this document relates to her son Hugues [IV]. m HUGUES [III] "Albus" de Lusignan, son of HUGUES [II] "Carus/le Cher" de Lusignan & his wife --- (-[1012]).

HUGUES de Vivonne ([1180/90]-1249).

Seigneur de Vivonne. - see below. b) SIBYLLE de Vivonne (-before 1316).

King Henry III granted "Petro Chaceporc" property of "Hugoni de Vivona et Savarico fratri eius", dated 1254[513]. "Petro Chaceporc" is described as "thesaurario" in other documents in the same source, so presumably this grant was related to a religious donation. An undated writ, endorsed "28 Hen III" (which must be incorrect, see the next document), after the death of "Hugh de Vivona" assigns one part of "West Kyngton manor" to "Petronilla late the wife of the said Hugh" and two parts to the king[514].

Hugues & his wife had one child: i) JOHN de Vivonne (Selling, Kent May [1252]-before 16 Oct 1315). A witness testified "9 July, 1 Edw I" that "John son of Hugh de Vyvon" was born "at Sellyng in co. Kent of Petronilla de Vyvonia on Whitsunday 36 Henry III"[520]. An Assise of Mortdancestor at Gloucester dated 1287 investigated the claim made by “Petronilla de Vivonia, mater Johannis de Vyvonia” against “David le Blunt et Amabilla uxor eius” relating to land at Bitton[521]. A writ dated "16 Oct, 8 Edw II" names the heirs of "John de Vivonia" as "Peter son of Reginald aged 30, son and heir of Joan de Vyvonia, one of the daughters and heirs of William de Fortibus, uncle of the said John, and Cecily de Bello Campo aged 40, another of the daughters and heirs of the said William"[522]. d) SAVARY [I] de Vivonne (-after 29 Apr 1264).

His parentage is confirmed by the 28 Apr 1248 licence granted by Henry III King of England to "William de Fortibus, son of Hugh de Vivona" to go to Poitou and acquire lands inherited from "Emery de Vivona, uncle of the said William"[525]. Seigneur de Vivonne.

The Annals of Ireland record that “Sibilla comitissa de Ferreys” had seven daughters (in order) “septima, Matildis de Kyme, domina de Carbry…”[533]. A manuscript genealogy of the Gant family records that “Symon de Kyma”, son of “Philippus de Kyma [et] Agnetem Waleys”, married "Matildam de Ferrars"[534].

"Messire Simon de Rochechouart, doyen de Saint-Antregil du château de Bourges" notified the marriage contract of "Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart son neveu" and "noble dame Matilde veuve de noble homme messire Guillaume le Fort" and the agreement for "des deux fils du dit vicomte" to marry "les deux filles de ladite dame veuve", with "Aimery fils aîné" marrying "la fille aînée...[avec] son manoir de Carlion" and "Guy autre fils du dit vicomte" marrying "la seconde fille [avec] la terre de Mortemar", by charter dated "du lundi après la Saint-Georges 1264", which also records that "les dits deux fils du vicomte" would inherit two thirds of their father’s inheritance, the remaining one third to be divided between "ses autres filles et fils"[537].

Henry III King of England granted, 2 Aug 1259, "the wardship of the lands late of William de Fortibus" to "Ingram de Percy, Peter de Chauuvent and Imbert de Muntferaunt" and the marriages of the deceased’s four daughters, the eldest to Ingram[541]. The fact of her first marriage is confirmed by the grant, 10 Oct 1262, of the marriage of "the eldest daughter and one of the heirs of William de Fortibus, late the wife of Ingram de Percy" to Queen Eleanor[542]. "Messire Simon de Rochechouart, doyen de Saint-Antregil du château de Bourges" notified the marriage contract of "Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart son neveu" and "noble dame Matilde veuve de noble homme messire Guillaume le Fort" and the agreement for "des deux fils du dit vicomte" to marry "les deux filles de ladite dame veuve", with "Aimery fils aîné" marrying "la fille aînée...[avec] son manoir de Carlion" and "Guy autre fils du dit vicomte" marrying "la seconde fille [avec] la terre de Mortemar", by charter dated "du lundi après la Saint-Georges 1264", which also records that "les dits deux fils du vicomte" would inherit two thirds of their father’s inheritance, the remaining one third to be divided between "ses autres filles et fils"[543]. Her second marriage is confirmed by the Somersetshire Pleas for 15 Jul 1269 which include a record that "Aunsell de Gurnay and his wife Sibyl" warranted "Emery de Roche Chaward, son of Emery de Roche Chaward, and Joan his wife, Sibyl, Mabel and Cecily, the daughters and heirs of William de Fortibus" relating to land in "Corfton"[544]. Inquisitions following a writ dated 5 May "14 Edw I" following the death 5 May of "Reginald son of Peter” name “John his son aged 30 and more [...aged 28] is his next heir...Joan his wife who survives him”[545]. Edward I King of England granted, 15 Dec 1290, "letters to Joan de Vivonia, going beyond the seas, nominating Henry de Somery and Roger de Essex her attorneys for one year"[546], which suggests that her second husband had died and that Jeanne had subsequently settled in England.

The primary sources which confirm the parentage and marriages of the following members of this family have not yet been identified, unless otherwise stated below.
SAVARY [I] de Vivonne, son of HUGUES de Vivonne & his wife Mabel Malet (-1264). Seigneur de Vivonne. Henry III King of England granted revenue to "Savarico de Vivona", dated 1254[569]. King Henry III granted "Petro Chaceporc" property of "Hugoni de Vivona et Savarico fratri eius", dated 1254[570]. "Savary de Vivonne chevalier" transferred to "Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart" all the rights of "les filles de feu messire Guillaume de Vivonne seigneur de Fors, dont il avoit la garde et tutelle" in "la châtellenie et toute la terre de Vivonne" by charter dated Dec 1264[571]. m ---. The name of Savary’s wife is not known. Savary [I] & his wife had three children: 1. HUGUES [I] de Vivonne (-after 18 Feb 1290). "Hugo de Vivonia miles et Savaricus de Vivonia valetus, fratres" sold revenue to Saint-Maixent by charter dated 18 Feb 1290[572]. m ---. The name of Hugues’s wife is not known. Hugues [I] & his wife had [two] children: a) SAVARY [II] de Vivonne (-[1302]). Seigneur de Bougoin (near La Crèche, 79). [m firstly MATHILDE Chabot, daughter of SEBRAND [IV] Chabot Seigneur de Rochecervière et des Essarts & his wife Amicie ---. Duchesne states that Mathilde, younger daughter of Sebrand [IV], inherited “la terre des Essarts” and married “Savary de Vivonne chevalier Seigneur de Tors” (no primary source cited)[573]. Sandret repeats the same statement[574]. Mathilde’s supposed husband has not been identified with certainty. The chronology suggests the impossibility that he was Savary [I] de Vivonne (died 1264).

"Aimericus Castri Araudi vicecomes" donated property to Saint-Denis en Vaux on the advice of "matris mee Adenoris et uxoris mee Dangerose fratrumque meorum Bosonis et Petri" by charter dated 1109[666]. Europäische Stammtafeln suggests that she was the daughter of Barthélemy [I] Seigneur de l’Isle-Bouchard[667]. Barthélemy is recorded with a daughter with the unusual name Dangerose (see the section SEIGNEURS de l’ISLE-BOUCHARD) who, from a chronological point of view, appears to have been of the right age to have been the wife of Vicomte Aimery [I]. She left her husband to live with Guillaume IX Duke of Aquitaine, Guillaume VII Comte de Poitou, for which he was excommunicated. Ralph de Diceto’s Ymagines Historiarum record that “Willelmus comes Pictaviensium” left “uxori suæ” for “pellicem...Amalbergam”, specifying that the resulting dispute lasted seven years[668]. Orderic Vitalis recounts that "Hildegarde Ctss de Poitou" complained to the synod of Reims, held in Oct 1119 by Pope Calixtus II, that her husband had abandoned her for "Malberge wife of the vicomte de Châtellerault"[669]. Aimery [I] & his wife had four children: a) HUGUES [II] (-before 1176). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated [1170/75] under which "Ugo vicecomes Castri Eiraudi" confirmed a donation to the abbey of Bécheron by "Aimericus pater meus" with the consent of "Guillelmo filio meo"[670]. Vicomte de Châtellerault. - see below. b) RAOUL (-[1190]). Seigneur de Faye, de iure uxoris. “Radulfus dominus Fagiæ” granted freedoms to “homines Sanctæ Radegundis...in alodio Gatnaici”, with the consent of “uxor eius Helisabeth et filius eius --- et filiæ --- et Eustachia”, by charter dated to [1140], witnessed by “...Amalvinus frater eius...”[671]. A charter dated to [1149] records that “Hugo de Sancta Maura”, during the time of “Goffredi comitis Andegavensis”, constructed “castellum...Gronnium”, was wounded by an arrow in his head when the castle was besieged, and donated property to Noyers while being treated, with the consent of “filii eius Guillelmus et Goscelinus”, witnessed by “Hugo vice-comes Castri Araldi, Radulfus frater eius, Petrus de Monte Rabeio, Burcardus de Insula...”[672]. "Hugo vicecomes Castri Airaudi et Radulphus frater eius…" witnessed the charter dated 27 May 1152 under which "Alienora…ducissa Aquitanorum et Normannorum" donated "boscum to Savria" to Saint-Maixent[673]. The Chronicon Turonense Magnum records in 1173 the rebellion of his three sons Henry, Richard and Geoffrey against Henry II King of England “consilio Radulfi de Faia et Hugonis de Sancta Maura”[674]. Ralph de Diceto’s Ymagines Historiarum record in 1172 that in Ireland “Hugo de Saintemore et Radulfus de Faie avunculus reginæ Alienor” encouraged “regis filii regis” to rebel against his father “on the advice of the queen it was said” (“consilio sicut dicitur eiusdem reginæ”)[675]. m (before [1140]) ELISABETH de Faye, daughter [AIMERY [II] Seigneur de Faye & his second wife Eustachie ---]. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified. However, they are indicated by the source which identifies Raoul de Châtellerault as Raoul Seigneur de Faye, the Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis which names [his daughter] "Sibylla filia Radulfi de Faya, qui fuit frater Guillelmi Vicecomitis de Castelleyrac" when recording her marriage[676]. In addition, as noted above, Ralph de Diceto named Raoul Seigneur de Faye as “avunculus” of Eléonore d’Aquitaine, wife of Henry II King of England and presumed daughter of Raoul de Châtellerault’s sister. This means that Raoul Seigneur de Faye, named in the following charter, was not the son of Aimery [II] Seigneur de Faye. The most likely explanation for Raoul’s inheritance of the seigneurie de Faye is therefore that his wife was the heiress. “Radulfus dominus Fagiæ” granted freedoms to “homines Sanctæ Radegundis...in alodio Gatnaici”, with the consent of “uxor eius Helisabeth et filius eius --- et filiæ --- et Eustachia”, by charter dated to [1140], witnessed by “...Amalvinus frater eius...”[677].

The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Sibylla filia Radulfi de Faya, qui fuit frater Guillelmi Vicecomitis de Castelleyrac" as wife of "Ebolus qui ex baptismo Archambaldus"[680]. Her marriage is dated by the 1174 charter under which "Ebolus vicecomes Ventedornensis" granted exemptions from taxes to Notre-Dame de Dalon with the consent of "vicecomitissa" (unnamed)[681]. Her name is confirmed by the Chronique de Geoffroy de Vigeois which names "Ebolo filio Eboli et Sybillæ"[682]. m ([1170/74]) EBLES [IV] "Archambaud" Vicomte de Ventadour, son of EBLES [III] Vicomte de Ventadour & his second wife Adelais de Montpellier (-1214 or after). iv) EUSTACHE (-1184).

Hilarii de Cella” (La Celle, outside Poitiers) granted by “Gaufredus avus et Guillelmus pater mei” by charter dated 3 Mar 1130, subscribed by “Willielmi ducis Aquitanorum, Aenordis comitissæ, Alienordis filiæ eorum, Wilelmi Aigres filii eorum”[683]. The primary source which confirms her parentage has not been identified. It is indicated by the Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis which names [her niece] "Sibylla filia Radulfi de Faya, qui fuit frater Guillelmi Vicecomitis de Castelleyrac" when recording her marriage[684], read together with Ralph de Diceto who named Raoul [de Châtellerault] Seigneur de Faye as “avunculus” of [her daughter] Eléonore d’Aquitaine, wife of Henry II King of England[685]. m (before 1122) as his first wife, GUILLAUME X Duke of Aquitaine [GUILLAUME VIII Comte de Poitou], son of GUILLAUME IX Duke of Aquitaine, GUILLAUME VII Comte de Poitou & his wife Philippa [Mathilde] de Toulouse (1099-Santiago de Compostela 9 Apr 1137, bur Santiago de Compostela). d) AMABLE .

HUGUES [II] de Châtellerault, son of AIMERY [I] Vicomte de Châtellerault & his wife Amauberge [Dangerose] --- (-before 1176). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated [1170/75] under which "Ugo vicecomes Castri Eiraudi" confirmed a donation to the abbey of Bécheron by "Aimericus pater meus" with the consent of "Guillelmo filio meo"[698]. Vicomte de Châtellerault. A charter dated to [1149] records that “Hugo de Sancta Maura”, during the time of “Goffredi comitis Andegavensis”, constructed “castellum...Gronnium”, was wounded by an arrow in his head when the castle was besieged, and donated property to Noyers while being treated, with the consent of “filii eius Guillelmus et Goscelinus”, witnessed by “Hugo vice-comes Castri Araldi, Radulfus frater eius, Petrus de Monte Rabeio, Burcardus de Insula...”[699].

The chronology of her family suggests that it is unlikely that she was born much before [1155]. The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified. Hugues [II] & his first wife had three children: 1. AIMERY (-[1170]). The abbot of Noyers confirmed that “præpositi Hugonis vicecomitis Castri Araudi” had granted privileges “in villa Buxeriæ”, with the consent of “filii eius Aimericus, Guillelmus, Radulfus”, by charter dated to [1156][703]. 2. GUILLAUME (-Acre [1188]).

"Hamericus clericus filius domini Guillelmi Castri Ayraudi et Margarite uxoris eius" donated property to the abbey of Bécheron by charter dated Oct 1223 which names "fratres sui Guillelmus…et Renaudus et Guido et Hugo"[706]. Her family origin is confirmed by an enquiry into the rights of the vicomte de Châtellerault to "castro Sancti Remigii", one witness testifying that "Jocelinus de Montoere" held "Castri-Aeraudi…castrum…ratione vicecomitisse castri Aeraudi uxoris sue", and that "dominus Radulfus de Mortemer" succeeded him "pro tutela filiorum et filiarum dicti Jocelini qui erant sui nepotes" (although as shown below, it is more likely that the heirs to Châtellerault were born from Ralph’s sister’s first marriage)[707]. She married secondly (1188) Joscelin de Lezay dit de Montoiron, who succeeded as Vicomte de Châtellerault. Benedict of Peterborough names "…Jocelinus de Munmorenc, vicecomes de Castello Haraldi…" among those who died at the siege of Acre in 1190[708]. Guillaume & his wife had [six] children: a) [GUILLAUME (-after Oct 1223).

It is possible that the first three, unrecorded elsewhere, were uterine brothers of Aimery, sons of another marriage of his mother's, although their being named before their brother Hugues suggests that they were older than him and therefore not the sons of Joscelin de Lezay.] b) [RENAUD (-after Oct 1223). "Fratres sui Guillelmus…et Renaudus et Guido et Hugo" are named in the charter dated Oct 1223 under which "Hamericus clericus filius domini Guillelmi Castri Ayraudi et Margarite uxoris eius" donated property to the abbey of Bécheron[710].

Ralph of Coggeshall records that "…Gaufridum de Lucinan et Hugonem Brunum et Andream de Caveni et vicecomitem de Castro-Eraldi et Reimundum Tuarz et Savarium de Mauleun et Hugonem Baugii" were captured, together with "Arturum nepotem nostrum" [Arthur Duke of Brittany] after they rebelled and attempted to capture "castellum de Mirabel" where "regina Alienor avia Arturi" was living, dated to 1202[714]. King John ordered that "Vic Cast Araldi" should be sent to Normandy, dated 27 Dec 1202[715]. At an enquiry into the rights of the vicomte de Châtellerault to "castro Sancti Remigii", one witness testified that "dominus Hugo de Surgeres" held Châtellerault after the death of "vicecomes Hugo de Castro-Aeraudi" when "domino Aemerico de Castro-Aeraudi" refused to take possession[716]. m ([1200]) [as her first husband,] EUSTACHIE de Mauléon, daughter of RAOUL Seigneur de Mauléon & his wife Alix Chabot (-after 3 Feb 1244). A charter dated 1230 records the donation to Talmont by "Eustachia quondam vicecomitissa Castri Ayraudi", confirming the donation by "domina Aalis de Malleone mater mea" and with the consent of "domini mei S. de Malleone fratris mei"[717].

King Henry III granted letters of protection to "Eustachia de Ardena, quondam soror Savarici de Malo Leone", dated 1242[720]. This document also suggests her possible second marriage to --- de Ardena (who has not otherwise been identified). Hugues [III] & his wife had one child: i) CLEMENCE (-before 13 May 1239). “Gaufridus de Lizegnan” did homage to Louis VIII King of France for “vicecomitatu Castri Eraudi, qui provenit michi ex parte Clementie uxoris mee, filie Hugonis quondam vicecomitis Castri Eraudi” by charter dated May 1224[721]. "G de Lezigniaco dominus Volventi et Maraventi" issued a charter dated "ante Pentecosto 1239" which records a prior donation by "nobilis mulier Clemencia vicecomitissa quondam Castri Eraudi uxor nostra defuncta"[722]. "Eustachia quondam vicecomitissa Castri Ayraudi, filia Radulfi de Maloleone bonæ memoriæ" donated property "in parrochia et in villa de Tessoele" to Absie, for the souls of "patris mei Radulfi de Maloleone, Aeliz matris meæ, Savarici fratris mei et Clemenciæ filiæ meæ", by charter dated Oct 1239[723]. An enquiry into "foresta de Moleria" records that "dominum Aymericum de Castro-Airaudi" held "Castri-Airaudi vicecomitatum" for "neptis sue" who later married "domini Gaufridi de Lezigniaco" and died "sine herede"[724]. m (before May 1224) as his first wife, GEOFFROY de Lusignan Seigneur de Vouvent, son of GEOFFROY de Lusignan Seigneur de Vouvent & his first wife Eustachie Chabot Dame de Vouvent (-after 1248). Vicomte de Châtellerault 1224. e) ELEONORE . The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. 1184. f) AIMERY (-after Oct 1223).

Hugues [II] & his second wife had one child: 4. AIMERY [II] ([1170/76]-1240 or after). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. The chronology of his mother’s family suggests that he must have been born late in his father’s life. At an enquiry into the rights of the vicomte de Châtellerault to "castro Sancti Remigii", one witness testified that "dominus Hugo de Surgeres" held Châtellerault after the death of "vicecomes Hugo de Castro-Aeraudi" when "domino Aemerico de Castro-Aeraudi" refused to take possession[727]. An enquiry into "foresta de Moleria" records that "dominum Aymericum de Castro-Airaudi" held "Castri-Airaudi vicecomitatum" for "neptis sue" who later married "domini Gaufridi de Lezigniaco" and died "sine herede"[728]. Vicomte de Châtellerault. “Hemericus vicecomes Castri-Eraudi, Ala uxor quondam Roberti filii Ernesii, et Robertus Malet" relinquished "castrum de Esseio" in return for "terram et redditus apud Escocheium" by charter dated to [1220][729]. The family relationship between the three participants is explained in another charter dated to [1220] which records that “Hemerico vicecomiti Castri-Eraudi, Alæ uxori Roberti Ernesii et Roberto Malet, Roberti comitis Alenconii heredibus" assigned property for "castri de Esseio"[730]. "Hamericus vicecomes de Castro Heraudi" confirmed privileges granted to Perseigne abbey by "Guillermi quondam comitis Pontivii et Roberti comitis Alenchonis et Sagonensis domini…avunculi nostri" by charter dated May 1235[731]. "Haimericus vicecomes Castri Eraudi" donated property to Saint-Denis en Vaux by charter dated Mar 1239 which names "Haimerici avi mei"[732]. "Haymericus vicecomes Castri Eraudi" donated property to Saint-Denis en Vaux by charter dated 1240 which names "nobilis mulier Agatha uxor eiusdem Haymerici vicecomitis et Johannes filius eorumdem"[733]. m AGATHA, daughter of ---. "Haymericus vicecomes Castri Eraudi" donated property to Saint-Denis en Vaux by charter dated 1240 which names "nobilis mulier Agatha uxor eiusdem Haymerici vicecomitis et Johannes filius eorumdem"[734]. Aimery [II] & his wife had one child: a) JEAN (-before 1290, bur Saint-André de Gouffern). "Haymericus vicecomes Castri Eraudi" donated property to Saint-Denis en Vaux by charter dated 1240 which names "nobilis mulier Agatha uxor eiusdem Haymerici vicecomitis et Johannes filius eorumdem"[735]. Seigneur de Sonnois et de Montgommery. Vicomte de Châtellerault. "Johannes vicecomes de Castriheraudi et dominus Sagonensis" donated revenue from Peray to Perseigne abbey, confirming the donation made by "bone memorie Roberti quondam comitis Alentionis avunculi patris mei", by charter dated Apr 1263[736]. m MATHILDE de Dammartin, daughter of SIMON de Dammartin Comte d'Aumâle et de Ponthieu & his wife Marie de Ponthieu (before [1220]-after Jan 1257). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to, but does not name, the four daughters of "comes de Pontivo Symon" (in order) as the wives of "rex Castelle de Hispanie Fernandus…filius vicecomitis de Castro Araudi…filius comitis de Augo…comes de Roceio"[737]. The wording of this passage means that the husband of this Dammartin daughter was not Aimery [II] Vicomte de Châtellerault, as shown in many secondary sources, which would in any case be chronologically impossible, but his son[738]. In addition, the full passage appears to indicate that the wife of "filius vicecomitis de Castro Airaudi" was the oldest of the four daughters as she is referred to "alteram natu maiorem", even though her husband is mentioned second in the list. This would seem surprising considering that the county of Ponthieu was inherited by Jeanne, wife of Fernando III King of Castile. The charter dated Aug 1237, quoted in full in NORTHERN FRANCE, under which her parents name their daughter Jeanne "primogenite nostre J. …regine Yspanie et Castelle", confirms that Jeanne was indeed the oldest daughter[739]. One possible explanation of Alberic’s text is that he intended to indicate that the daughter whose husband was named second in his list was the oldest of the remaining daughters, although such a reference would seem superfluous. Interestingly, Butkens states, in his commentary relating to the Dammartin-Ponthieu family, that (1) this daughter married "le fils du Vicomte de Chastellerault" and (2) that she was the oldest daughter[740], the latter statement presumably being based on a literal interpretation of the passage in Alberic which, as explained above, is contradicted by the charter dated Aug 1237. Butkens, in the same passage, says that "le fils du Vicomte de Chastellerault…n’en eust pas de lignée" (from his wife, Simon’s daughter), although as shown below this statement is incorrect. The wife of Vicomte Jean was named Mathilde, as shown by the charter dated Jan 1256 under which "Matildis nostra uxor" confirmed a donation to the abbey of Bécheron by "Johannes vicecomes Castri Ayraudi"[741]. Mathilde was presumably named after her paternal grandmother. The charter dated 1291, under which "Jean de Harcourt chevalier et Jeanne vicomtesse de Châtellerault sa femme, fille de Jean vicomte de Châtellerault" confirmed all the donations to Saint-André-en-Gouffern made by their predecessors[742], indicates that Mathilde was the mother of Jean’s daughter Jeanne, as other donations to Saint-André-en-Gouffern which are recorded in the same source were made by the comtes de Ponthieu (ancestors of Mathilde), not by the vicomtes de Châtellerault. If it is correct that Mathilde was the second daughter of Simon de Dammartin and his wife, it is likely that she was married after her sister Jeanne, whose marriage can be dated to before Aug 1237. Jean & his wife had one child: i) JEANNE ([1243/47]-16 May 1315). Dame de Lillebonne. Her birth date is estimated on the assumption that she was an adolescent at the time of her first marriage, but young enough to have had children born after [1275] by her second husband. "Johanna de Castro Ayraudi relicta Gaufridi de Lesigniaco" swore homage to Saint-Maixent for certain property by charter dated 4 Mar 1275[743]. Her family origin and second marriage are indicated by a charter dated 20 May 1280 in which her second husband is named “Ioannes de Haricuria ratione uxoris vicecomes Castri-Airaudi”[744]. A register dated early Nov 1286 records the settlement between “Jean de Harcourt sire de Qualeuille et Mareschal de France” and “Dame Beatrix comtesse de Dreux et de Montfort” concerning revenue from Lillebonne “pour raison de nostre fame fille le viscomte et la viscomtesse de Chasteleraut fille et heir d’iceux”[745]. "Jean de Harcourt chevalier et Jeanne vicomtesse de Châtellerault sa femme, fille de Jean vicomte de Châtellerault" confirmed all the donations to Saint-André-en-Gouffern made by their predecessors by charter dated 1291[746]. This document confirms that Jeanne must have been the daughter of Mathilde de Dammartin, as other donations to Saint-André-en-Gouffern which are recorded in the same source were made by the comtes de Ponthieu not by the vicomtes de Châtellerault. "Johan saignour de Harecourt et…Johanne fame doudit Johan fille et heir…debonne memoire Johan iadis vicomte de Chatel-Heraut et saignour de Soonnays" recognised the privileges of Perseigne abbey by charter dated Mar 1291[747]. m firstly (1259) GEOFFROY de Lusignan Seigneur de Jarnac et de Château-Larcher, son of HUGUES [XI] "le Brun" de Lusignan Comte de la Marche et d'Angoulême & his wife Isabelle Ctss d'Angoulême (-[Jun 1272/Mar 1274]). m secondly ([1276]) [as his second wife,] JEAN [II] “le Preux” Seigneur d’Harcourt, son of JEAN [I] Seigneur d’Harcourt & his wife Alix de Beaumont (-21 Dec 1302, bur Notre-Dame du Parc). Vicomte de Châtellerault by right of his wife, Maréchal de France, Amiral de France.
B. VICOMTE de CHÂTELLERAULT (MAINGOT, SEIGNEURS de SURGERES)
1. GUILLAUME [I] de Surgères (-after Feb 1028). Seigneur de Surgères. "...Hugonis de Lisiniaco, Hugonis de Sancto Maxencio, Vuillelmi de Castro Surgiriaco" subscribed the charter dated Feb 1028 under which Agnes Ctss de Poitou donated "decimam de...Lemia..." to Saint-Jean d’Angély[748].
2. HUGUES [I] de Surgères (-[after 1062]). Seigneur de Surgères. “...Hugonis de Surgeriis...” subscribed the charter dated 1039 under which “Willelmus juvenis dux Aquitanorum filius...ducis Willelmi” donated property to Saint-Jean d’Angély[749]. “Airardus et conjux sua Aleat” donated revenue “ad ecclesiam construendam in insula...Cordal”, with the consent of “dominus illorum Hugo de Surgeriis”, by charter dated 1062[750].
3. [HUGUES [II] de Surgères (-after 1097). It is not certain that Hugo [II] existed as a separate person from Hugo [I]. However, the almost 60 year spread between the 1039 charter in which Hugo [I] is first recorded and 1097, when the supposed Hugo [II] is last recorded, seems long for one individual. “Hugo de Surgeriis...” was present in charters dated 1076 and 1079[751]. “...Hugo de Surgeriis, Ramnulfus de Surgeriis” were named in a charter dated 1096[752]. A charter dated 1097 records a dispute between the church of Vendôme and “Hugonem de Surgeriis...Petronilla eius uxor”[753]. “Hugo Surgeriarum dominus” donated property to Vendôme La Trinité, referring to “post meum utique et uxoris mee Petronille obitum”, with the consent of “heres...meus Willelmus Maingotus”, by charter dated to [1062/97][754]. m PETRONILLE, daughter of --- (-after 1097). A charter dated 1097 records a dispute between the church of Vendôme and “Hugonem de Surgeriis...Petronilla eius uxor”[755]. “Hugo Surgeriarum dominus” donated property to Vendôme La Trinité, referring to “post meum utique et uxoris mee Petronille obitum”, with the consent of “heres...meus Willelmus Maingotus”, by charter dated to [1062/97][756].]
4. RAMNULF de Surgères (-after 1096). “...Hugo de Surgeriis, Ramnulfus de Surgeriis” were named in a charter dated 1096[757].
Two brothers. Guillaume Maingot is called “heres” of Hugues [II] de Surgères in the [1062/97] charter quoted below, but not “filius”. They were clearly closely related, the possibilities including that Guillaume had married Hugues’s daughter. The last solution could also explain the introduction of the name “Maingot” into the family with the arrival of Guillaume [II]. It should be noted that “Maingot” was only used by successors of Guillaume [II] who bore the name Guillaume, a curiosity whose explanation has not been found. All individuals in this family with other names are referred to in contemporary sources as “de Surgères”.
1. GUILLAUME [II] Maingot de Surgères (-after 1119). “Guillelmo Maengot et Constantino fratri suo” were named in a charter of the priory of Surgères Saint-Guy dated 1083[758]. “Hugo Surgeriarum dominus” donated property to Vendôme La Trinité, referring to “post meum utique et uxoris mee Petronille obitum”, with the consent of “heres...meus Willelmus Maingotus”, by charter dated to [1062/97][759]. "Willelmus de Maengotus de Surgeriis et filius suus Girbertus Jaleellus" confirmed the renunciation made by “Rodulfus Gilduini” over “terra de Flaeco” in favour of Saint-Jean d’Angély by charter dated 1105[760]. “...Willelmo de Surgeriis” witnessed a charter dated 1119[761]. m ---. The name of Guillaume’s wife is not known. Guillaume [II] & his wife had one child: a) GIRBERT “Jaleel” . "Willelmus de Maengotus de Surgeriis et filius suus Girbertus Jaleellus" confirmed the renunciation made by “Rodulfus Gilduini” over “terra de Flaeco” in favour of Saint-Jean d’Angély by charter dated 1105[762]. 2. CONSTANTIN . “Guillelmo Maengot et Constantino fratri suo” were named in a charter of the priory of Surgères Saint-Guy dated 1083[763].
Two brothers, parents not known. The period between 1119, last mention of Guillaume [II], and 1171, first mention of Guillaume [III], suggests the existence of another seigneur de Surgères belonging to an intermediate generation.
1. GUILLAUME [III] Maingot (-after 1174). “Guillelmus Maengoti et Gilbertus [...Naleas] frater meus” granted exemptions to Surgères Saint-Guy, with the consent of “Berthæ”, by charter dated 1071[764]. "…Willelmus Mangat, Theobaldus Chabot…" witnessed the marriage contract between "Johanni filio Henrici…regis Angliæ" and "Humbertus comes Mauriensis et marchio Italiæ…filia…primogenita…Aalis" dated 1173[765]. "Willelmus Maingot et Willelmus Maingot filius meus" donated property "in feodis Vulventi" to Absie, for the soul of "domnæ Bertæ uxoris meæ defunctæ", by charter dated 1177[766]. m [firstly] BERTHE de Rancon, daughter of GEOFFROY [III] de Rancon Seigneur de Taillebourg & his wife --- (-before 1177). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the following document: “Willelmus Maingoti filius Willelmi Maingoti et domine Berte filie G. de Rancone” donated property to the Templars at La Rochelle, with the consent of “W. filius eius”, by charter dated 1217, witnessed by “...domina Bartolomea uxor predicti Willelmi...”[767]. Her marriage is confirmed by the charter dated 29 Aug 1217 under which her son "Willelmus Maengoti dominus de Surgeriis" donated property at Fon-de-Lay made to Saint-Maixent, for the souls of "domini Willelmi Maengoti patris mei et domine Berthe matris mæ et dominæ Bartholomeæ uxoris meæ et Hugonis de Surgeriis et Gaufridi de Surgeriis fratrum meorum"[768]. "Willelmus Maingot et Willelmus Maingot filius meus" donated property "in feodis Vulventi" to Absie, for the soul of "domnæ Bertæ uxoris meæ defunctæ", by charter dated 1177[769]. [m secondly [ORENGARDE/DOUCE], [widow of HUGUES [IX] de Lusignan], daughter of ---.] A charter dated 1168 records a donation of property to the Knights Hospitallers by "Hugo de Lusignan, Dulcia uxor et Alamanda filia eiusdem"[770]. Her second marriage is suggested by the document, dated (by Delisle) to [1209], under which "comes Augi" (Raoul de Lusignan "d’Exoudun" Comte d’Eu, see below) pledged his lands for his homage to Philippe II King of France, and that of "fratres sui comes Marchie et vicecomes Castri Eraudi"[771]. Assuming that this document is correctly dated, "vicecomes Castri Eraudi" at the time was Hugues de Surgères. A second marriage of Raoul’s mother would be the only way in which Hugues de Surgères could be correctly called "frater" of Hugues [X] de Lusignan and Raoul de Lusignan Comte d’Eu. It is also possible, assuming that the 1168 does not refer to Hugues [IX] de Lusignan, that Guillaume Maingot’s second wife was Hugues [IX]’s known wife Orengarde. If Orengarde/Douce can correctly be identified as the [second] wife of Hugues [IX], and mother of Raoul, it is likely that she was heiress of Exoudun which was transmitted to Raoul. Guillaume [III] & his [first] wife had two children: a) GUILLAUME [IV] Maingot (-1221). "Willelmus Maingot et Willelmus Maingot filius meus" donated property "in feodis Vulventi" to Absie, for the soul of "domnæ Bertæ uxoris meæ defunctæ", by charter dated 1177[772]. "Willelmus Maengoti filius Willelmi Maengoti et domine Berthe Gaufridi de Rancone filie" relinquished revenue from "molendinis de Bayo" to l’aumonerie de Saint-Gilles de Surgères by charter dated to [1195][773]. "Hugo de Surgeriis vicecomes Castri Airaudi" confirmed the donation of rights at Fon-de-Lay made to Saint-Maixent by "Willelmus Maengo dominus de Surgeriis, frater noster", in the presence of "Guaufrido de Surgeriis fratre nostro milite", by charter dated 29 Apr 1208[774]. "Willelmus Maengotus filius domine Berte dominus Surgeriarum" donated his rights “in triabus prioratibus...de Muronio, de Charantanaico et de Pirariis...” [Muron, Charentenay, Priaire] to Saint-Jean d’Angély by charter dated 1215[775]. “Willelmus Maingoti filius Willelmi Maingoti et domine Berte filie G. de Rancone” donated property to the Templars at La Rochelle, with the consent of “W. filius eius”, by charter dated 1217, witnessed by “...domina Bartolomea uxor predicti Willelmi...”[776].

"Willelmus Maingoti filius Willelmi Maingoti et domine Berte filie G. de Rancone" donated property to the Templars, with the consent of "W. filius eius", by charter dated 1217, witnessed by "domina Bartolomea uxor predicti Willelmi…"[778]. "Willelmus Maengoti dominus de Surgeriis" donated wine from "magni feodo de Alnisio" to l’aumonerie de Saint-Gilles de Surgères, for the souls of "Guillelmi Maengoti patris mei et domine Berthe matris mee et Hugonis fratris mei vicecomitis Castri Ayraudi", by charter dated 1218, witnessed by "Guillelmi filii mei primogeniti…"[779]. The testament of “Willelmus Mahengoti filius Willelmi Mahengoti et Berthæ filiæ Gofridi de Ranconio”, dated 1221, donated property with the consent of “filii mei Willelmus et Hugo et filiæ meæ Bertha et Letica”[780]. He must have died in the same year as his son is named “dominus Surgeriarum” in another charter of the same date (see below). m BARTHOLOMEE, daughter of --- (-before 29 Aug 1217). Her marriage is confirmed by the charter dated 29 Aug 1217 under which [her husband] "Willelmus Maengoti dominus de Surgeriis" donated property at Fon-de-Lay made to Saint-Maixent, for the souls of "domini Willelmi Maengoti patris mei et domine Berthe matris mæ et dominæ Bartholomeæ uxoris meæ et Hugonis de Surgeriis et Gaufridi de Surgeriis fratrum meorum"[781]. “Willelmus Maingoti filius Willelmi Maingoti et domine Berte filie G. de Rancone” donated property to the Templars at La Rochelle, with the consent of “W. filius eius”, by charter dated 1217, witnessed by “...domina Bartolomea uxor predicti Willelmi...”[782]. Guillaume [IV] & his wife had four children: i) GUILLAUME [V] Maingot (-[Feb 1235/Nov 1239]). “Willelmus Maingoti filius Willelmi Maingoti et domine Berte filie G. de Rancone” donated property to the Templars at La Rochelle, with the consent of “W. filius eius”, by charter dated 1217, witnessed by “...domina Bartolomea uxor predicti Willelmi...”[783]. - see below. ii) HUGUES de Surgères (-after 1239). "Willelmus Maengoti dominus de Surgeriis" donated property at Fon-de-Lay made to Saint-Maixent, with the consent of "Willelmi Maengoti primogeniti filii mei…miles et Hugo tunc temporis valetus, filii mei", by charter dated 29 Aug 1217[784]. The testament of “Willelmus Mahengoti filius Willelmi Mahengoti et Berthæ filiæ Gofridi de Ranconio”, dated 1221, donated property with the consent of “filii mei Willelmus et Hugo et filiæ meæ Bertha et Letica”[785]. "Guillelmus Maengoti filius domine Berthomee dominus Surgeriarum...tam ipse quam Hugo frater meus" confirmed the donation of rights “in prioratibus de Muronio, de Charantenaico et de Pirariis...” [Muron, Charentenay, Priaire] to Saint-Jean d’Angély by charter dated 1221[786]. “Hugo de Surgeriis miles” donated property to Argenton, in particular for a lamp on the tomb of his father, by charter dated 1239[787]. The donor must have been the son of Guillaume [IV] as the sons of Guillaume [V] were minors at the time, as confirmed by the Nov 1239 charter quoted above. iii) BERTHE (-after 1221). The testament of “Willelmus Mahengoti filius Willelmi Mahengoti et Berthæ filiæ Gofridi de Ranconio”, dated 1221, donated property with the consent of “filii mei Willelmus et Hugo et filiæ meæ Bertha et Letica”[788]. iv) LETICE (-after 1221).

"Hugo de Surgeriis vicecomes Castri Airaudi" confirmed the donation of rights at Fon-de-Lay made to Saint-Maixent by "Willelmus Maengo dominus de Surgeriis, frater noster", in the presence of "Guaufrido de Surgeriis fratre nostro milite", by charter dated 29 Apr 1208[790]. "Willelmus Maengoti dominus de Surgeriis" donated property at Fon-de-Lay made to Saint-Maixent, for the souls of "domini Willelmi Maengoti patris mei et domine Berthe matris mæ et dominæ Bartholomeæ uxoris meæ et Hugonis de Surgeriis et Gaufridi de Surgeriis fratrum meorum", by charter dated 29 Aug 1217[791]. - SEIGNEURS de GRANGES[792]. Guillaume & his [second] wife had one child: c) HUGUES de Surgères ([1175/80]-Acre 1212). Vicomte de Châtellerault. At an enquiry into the rights of the vicomte de Châtellerault to "castro Sancti Remigii", one witness testified that, after "dominus Radulfus de Mortemer", "dominus Hugo de Surgeres" possessed Châtellerault, a subsequent witness specifying that "dominus Hugo de Surgeres" held Châtellerault after the death of "vicecomes Hugo de Castro-Aeraudi" when "domino Aemerico de Castro-Aeraudi" refused to take possession, while another witness testified that Philippe II "Auguste" King of France had granted Châtellerault to "domino Hugoni de Surgeres"[793]. "Hugo de Surgeriis vicecomes de Castri Araudi" donated property to the abbey of Bécheron by charter dated [1201/04][794]. The 13th century Histoire des ducs de Normandie et des rois d’Angleterre names "Hughes li Bruns et li cuens d’Eu ses freres et Hughes de Surgieres ses freres, qui viscuens estoit del Castel-Eraut..." among those who besieged Savary de Mauléon at "el castiel de Niors", dated to [1205/07] from the context[795]. "Hugo de Surgeriis vicecomes Castri Airaudi" confirmed the donation of rights at Fon-de-Lay made to Saint-Maixent by "Willelmus Maengo dominus de Surgeriis, frater noster", in the presence of "Guaufrido de Surgeriis fratre nostro milite", by charter dated 29 Apr 1208[796].

"Comes Augi" pledged his lands for his homage to Philippe II King of France, and that of "fratres sui comes Marchie et vicecomes Castri Eraudi" dated (by Delisle) to [1209][798]. "Hugo de Surgeriis, vicecomes Castri Airaudi" confirmed that "Hugo, beate Marie Castri Airaudi et beati Hylarii Pictavensis decanus" on his deathbed had bequeathed revenue to Saint-Hilaire de Poitiers by charter dated 1211, witnessed by "Radulfo de Mortemario fratre predicti decani…"[799]. The Chronicon Bernardi Iterii records the death at Acre in 1212 of "Hugo de Surgeiras vicecomes de Chastel airau"[800]. 2. GIRBERT (-after 1171). “Guillelmus Maengoti et Gilbertus [...Naleas] frater meus” granted exemptions to Surgères Saint-Guy, with the consent of “Berthæ”, by charter dated 1071[801].
GUILLAUME [V] Maingot de Surgères, son of GUILLAUME [IV] Maingot Seigneur de Surgères & his wife Bartholomée --- (-[Feb 1235/Nov 1239]). “Willelmus Maingoti filius Willelmi Maingoti et domine Berte filie G. de Rancone” donated property to the Templars at La Rochelle, with the consent of “W. filius eius”, by charter dated 1217, witnessed by “...domina Bartolomea uxor predicti Willelmi...”[802].

"Willelmus Maengoti dominus de Surgeriis" donated wine from "magni feodo de Alnisio" to l’aumonerie de Saint-Gilles de Surgères, for the souls of "Guillelmi Maengoti patris mei et domine Berthe matris mee et Hugonis fratris mei vicecomitis Castri Ayraudi", by charter dated 1218, witnessed by "Guillelmi filii mei primogeniti…"[804].

A charter dated Feb 1234 (O.S.) records an agreement between the abbot of La Grâce-Dieu and “nobilem virum Willelmum Maengoti” concerning rights “in foresta de Argenzcum”[807]. m SIBYLLE, daughter of --- (-after 6 Jun 1242). A charter dated Nov 1239 records an agreement between "Guillermum Maengoti" and l’aumonerie de Saint-Gilles de Surgères, later confirmed by "Guillermum et Hugonem filios ipsius et Sibillam relictam eius, tutricem jamdictorum Guillermi et Hugonis"[808]. King Henry III granted letters of protection to "Sibilla domina de Surgeres", dated 6 Jun 1242[809]. Guillaume [V] & his wife had three children: 1. GUILLAUME [VI] Maingot de Surgères (-before Jul 1282). "Willelmus Maengoti dominus de Surgeriis" donated property at Fon-de-Lay made to Saint-Maixent, with the consent of "Willelmi Maengoti primogeniti filii mei…miles et Hugo tunc temporis valetus, filii mei", by charter dated 29 Aug 1217[810]. A charter dated Nov 1239 records an agreement between "Guillermum Maengoti" and l’aumonerie de Saint-Gilles de Surgères, later confirmed by "Guillermum et Hugonem filios ipsius et Sibillam relictam eius, tutricem jamdictorum Guillermi et Hugonis"[811]. "Guillermus Maengoti miles dominus Surgeriarum" donated property to l’aumonerie de Saint-Gilles de Surgères, "ratione Hugonis de Surgeriis militis defuncti avunculi nostri", by charter dated Sep 1254[812]. “Guillaume Maingou chevalers sires de Surgeres” sold property to Fontevraud, with the consent of “Sedille ma femme et de mon Sire Hugue de Surgeres et de mon Sire Jofrey de Surgeres mis freres [...germains] chevalers”, by charter dated Apr 1268[813]. He was named as deceased in the Jul 1282 charter of his wife quoted below. m SEDILLE de Chevreuse, daughter of [GUY [III] Seigneur de Chevreuse & his wife Hélisende ---] ([1215/20]-[1284/24 Jun 1287]). “Guillaume Maingou chevalers sires de Surgeres” sold property to Fontevraud, with the consent of “Sedille ma femme et de mon Sire Hugue de Surgeres et de mon Sire Jofrey de Surgeres mis freres [...germains] chevalers”, by charter dated Apr 1268[814]. "Sedile dame de Chevreuse, jadis fame de...bon mémoire monseigneur Guillaume Maingot chevalier" confirmed the donation made to Vaux de Cernay by “noustre...cousin monseigneur Ansel de Chevreuse chevalier sire de Me[incourt] et Béatriz sa fame” by charter dated Jul 1282[815]. Sédille acknowledged holding from the comte de la Marche revenue from “la Prévôté de Gomez-le-Chastel”, granted by Yolande Ctss de la Marche to “Guy seigneur de Chevreuse son père”, by charter dated 1284[816]. This charter does not help identify the Guy de Chevreuse who was Sédille’s father. However, her birth date estimated from the estimated birth date of her great-grandson in [1280/85], suggests that her father must have been Guy [III] Seigneur de Chevreuse. Guillaume [VI] & his wife had two children: a) GUILLAUME [VII] Maingot de Surgères ([1230/40]-before 24 Jun 1287). His parentage is confirmed by the 24 Jun 1287 charter quoted below, which also confirms that he was dead at the time. [“Guillaume Maingou chevaler seigneur de Surgeres” is named in a charter dated Mar 1277[817]. Vialart says that this refers to Guillaume [VII], but there appears to be nothing in the document which indicates either Guillaume [VI] or Guillaume [VII].] m ---. The name of Guillaume’s wife is not known. Guillaume [VII] & his wife had one child: i) HUGUES de Surgères ([1250/60]-[Sep 1296/1301]). “Hugue Sires de Surgeres vaslet et Hugue de Surgeres Sires de la Bougraigne...mon oncle [...madame Sedille sa feme ma mere fahu]” agreed the succession of “Guilleume Mangou chevalier seigneur de Surgeres mon pere fahu...Guilleame Mangou chevalier mon ayou pere jadis à mondit pere et à mondit oncle”, naming “Hugue mon oncle e...Huguet, Guiart, Sediulle et Leuzie ses enfans”, by charter dated 24 Jun 1287[818]. He was named in charters dated 1294 and Mar 1296[819]. “Hugue de Surgeres chevalers sire de celui leue et Alix de Parthenay sa feme, Guillaume Maingou et Guiart de Surgers lors fils...” reached agreement with “Monseignor Hugue de Surgeres Sires de la Bougueraigne et Monsor Guillaume Raimont Sires de Malevau chevalers” regarding certain matters by charter dated Sep 1296[820]. m ALIX de Parthenay, daughter of HUGUES [II] l’Archévêque Seigneur de Parthenay & his wife Valence de Lusignan ([1255/65]-[after Nov 1301]). “Hugue de Surgeres chevalers sire de celui leue et Alix de Parthenay sa feme, Guillaume Maingou et Guiart de Surgers lors fils...” reached agreement with “Monseignor Hugue de Surgeres Sires de la Bougueraigne et Monsor Guillaume Raimont Sires de Malevau chevalers” regarding certain matters by charter dated Sep 1296[821]. Although Alix’s parentage is not specified, from a chronological point of view she was presumably the daughter of Hugues [II]. A charter dated 11 Jul 1301 records an agreement between “Pierre Bochart chevalier et Yolent de Rochefort sa femme” and “Guillaume de Maroil valet sengneur de celuy leu et Ayliz de Rochefort sa femme suer de moi la dite Yolent” concerning “la chastelainie de Rochefort et sur la succession...qui fut Gilebert de Rochefort fehu frere jadis de moi ladite Yolent et de ladite Ayliz”, naming “Aymeri de Rochefort mon frere ayné dudit Gilbert” who had donated property to “Hugues de Surgeres fehu jadis sengneur de celuy leu” now represented by “Ayliz de Parthenay dame de Surgeres tutresse desdiz heritiers”[822]. The wording of the Nov 1301 charter of her son suggests that Alix was still alive at that date, although the question is not beyond doubt. Hugues & his wife had two children: (a) GUILLAUME [VIII] Maingot ([1280/85]-after 16 Dec 1333). “Hugue de Surgeres chevalers sire de celui leue et Alix de Parthenay sa feme, Guillaume Maingou et Guiart de Surgers lors fils...” reached agreement with “Monseignor Hugue de Surgeres Sires de la Bougueraigne et Monsor Guillaume Raimont Sires de Malevau chevalers” regarding certain matters by charter dated Sep 1296[823]. “Guillaume Mengo Sire de Surgeres” confirmed an agreement made by “madame Alix de Parthenay ma mere, ça en arriere tutrice de moy et de Guiart de Surgers mon frere et des autres enfans freres et sœurs de moy et de Guiart” with “M.

This document suggests that Guillaume had recently been emancipated, hence the need for the confirmation. “Guillaume Mango Seigneur de Surgeres chevalier” reached agreement with the “Abbé dou Moustier de Vendôme” regarding certain matters, including anniversaries for himself and “Johanne de Pruilly Dame de Surgeres nostre...compaigne”, by charter dated 16 Dec 1333[825]. m firstly (1307 or before) JEANNE de Preuilly, daughter of GEOFFROY Seigneur de Preuilly & his wife Marguerite --- (-after 1314). “Guillaume Mango Seigneur de Surgeres chevalier” reached agreement with the “Abbé dou Moustier de Vendôme” regarding certain matters, including anniversaries for himself and “Johanne de Pruilly Dame de Surgeres nostre...compaigne”, by charter dated 16 Dec 1333[826]. m secondly THOMASSE d’Albret, daughter of [AMANIEU [VI] Seigneur d’Albret & his wife Rose de Bourg.].

Vialart records her parentage and two marriages, noting that she was named in the 13 Dec 1379 marriage contract of her son Joachim de Clermont, and provides details of her descendants by her second marriage, but cites no sources on which this information is based[832]. Surgères was inherited by her son by her second marriage. m firstly as his third wife, JEAN [I] l'Archévêque Seigneur de Parthenay, son of GUILLAUME [VI] l’Archévêque Seigneur de Parthenay & his first wife Jeanne de Montfort (-1 May 1358, bur Parthenay Franciscan Church). m secondly AIMAR de Clermont Seigneur d’Hauterive, son of AINARD [II] Seigneur de Clermont & his wife Agathe de Poitiers (-after 1371).

The charter dated 24 Jun 1287 quoted above names “Huguet, Guiart, Sediulle et Leuzie” as children of Hugues de Surgères Seigneur de la Bougeraigne.

C. SEIGNEURS de FAYE
Faye-la-Vineuse is located about 20 kilometres north-west of Châtellerault and about the same distance south of L’Isle-Bouchard, in the canton Richelieu, arrondissement Chinon, in the present-day French département of Indre-et-Loire. Primary sources have been found which record the seigneur de Faye from [1081] as noted below. The seigneurie appears to have passed to a younger branch of the vicomtes de Châtellerault in [1140], although the primary source which confirms this information has not been identified. The seigneurie was later inherited by the family of the seigneurs de Fréteval.

A charter dated to [1094] records the donation of “terra ad Sengni inter Faiam et Mausum” to Noyers made by “Araudus filius Linæ” with the consent of “...Aimericus dominus Fagiæ et filius eius Aimericus”, and the subsequent confirmation of the same made “in thalamo ipsius Aimerici” by “Eustachia uxor Aimerici, cognomento Rumpe-Stachium, et filii eius”[851]. “Aimericus Fagiensis” confirmed the donation of property “juxta Vodæ decursum” to Noyers, with the consent of “Aimericus filius eius cum uxore sua Lisabel cognomine Rumpe stacha”, by charter dated to [1095][852]. “Aimericus dominus Fagiæ”, before leaving for Rome, donated “terram...apud Fagiam” to Noyers by charter dated [1101][853]. An undated charter (dated to [1102]) records that “Boso vicecomes Castri Adraldi et Bartholomæus de Insula et Hugo de Sancta Maura” besieged “rupem...Mirmanda” and attacked Faye, and that subsequent donations were made to Noyers[854].

The wife of Aimery [I]’s son was named “Rumpe stacha” in the charter dated to [1095] quoted above, the same as the name of Aimery [I]’s known wife Eustachie. This suggests that the two women were closely related, maybe sisters, and therefore that Aimery [II] was born from an earlier unrecorded marriage of his father. m secondly EUSTACHIE “Rumpe stacha”, daughter of ---. A charter dated to [1094] records the donation of “terra ad Sengni inter Faiam et Mausum” to Noyers made by “Araudus filius Linæ” with the consent of “...Aimericus dominus Fagiæ et filius eius Aimericus”, and the subsequent confirmation of the same made “in thalamo ipsius Aimerici” by “Eustachia uxor Aimerici, cognomento Rumpe-Stachium, et filii eius”[862].

Seigneur de Faye. Carré de Busserolle records that Aimery [II] was named as seigneur de Faye in a source dated 1131, but provides no citation reference[872]. m firstly (before [1095]) ELISABETH “Rumpe stacha”, daughter of --- (-after [1108]). “Aimericus Fagiensis” confirmed the donation of property “juxta Vodæ decursum” to Noyers, with the consent of “Aimericus filius eius cum uxore sua Lisabel cognomine Rumpe stacha”, by charter dated to [1095][873]. “Quidam miles Michael...” donated property at Faye to Noyers, with the consent of “Aimericus Fagiensis senex et Aimericus juvenis filius eius cum uxore sua Lisabeth cognomento Rumpe stacha”, by charter dated to [1108][874]. m secondly (before [1116]) EUSTACHIE, daughter of --- (-after [1140]). “Quidam vir nobilis...David de Monteilo” donated “ecclesiæ...Sarinniacus...decimam” to Noyers, with the consent of “Aimericus de Fagia et filius eius Aimericus...uxor Aimerici juvenis...Eustachia” the suzerains, by charter dated [1116], witnessed by “Aimericus senior dominus Phagiæ...”[875]. “Radulfus dominus Fagiæ” granted freedoms to “homines Sanctæ Radegundis...in alodio Gatnaici”, with the consent of “uxor eius Helisabeth et filius eius --- et filiæ --- et Eustachia”, by charter dated to [1140][876]. Aimery [II] & his second wife had [one child]: i) [ELISABETH de Faye . The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. However, they are indicated by the source which identifies Raoul de Châtellerault as Raoul Seigneur de Faye, the Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis which names [his daughter] "Sibylla filia Radulfi de Faya, qui fuit frater Guillelmi Vicecomitis de Castelleyrac" when recording her marriage[877]. In addition, Ralph de Diceto named Raoul Seigneur de Faye as “avunculus” of Eléonore d’Aquitaine, wife of Henry II King of England and presumed daughter of Raoul de Châtellerault’s sister[878]. This means that Raoul Seigneur de Faye, named in the following charter, was not the son of Aimery [II] Seigneur de Faye. The most likely explanation for Raoul’s inheritance of the seigneurie de Faye is therefore that his wife was the heiress. “Radulfus dominus Fagiæ” granted freedoms to “homines Sanctæ Radegundis...in alodio Gatnaici”, with the consent of “uxor eius Helisabeth et filius eius --- et filiæ --- et Eustachia”, by charter dated to [1140], witnessed by “...Amalvinus frater eius...”[879]. m RAOUL de Châtellerault, son of AIMERY [I] Vicomte de Châtellerault & his wife Amauberge [Dangerose] --- (-[1190]). Seigneur de Faye, de iure uxoris.] b) son(s) .

The name “Faye” suggests that the following family group was related to the family shown above. From a chronological point of view, it appears possible that the third Aimery de Faye named below was the same person as Aimery [I] Seigneur de Faye who is named above.
1. AIMERY de Faye (-after [1065/70]). Seigneur de Loudun. He is named in the charter dated to [1088] quoted below. m ---. The name of Aimery’s wife is not known. Aimery & his wife had one child: a) AIMERY de Faye (-before [1065/70]). A charter dated to [1088] records that “Aimericus juvenis de Fagia filius Aimerici senioris de Lausduno”, fearing that he was near death, donated “tertiam partem prædiorum...ad Grizaicum” to Noyers, that later “filius eius Aimericus” who was unborn at the time (“eodem tempore nondum natus, adhuc in utero matris bajulabatur”) but was then a young adult (“jam adulta ætate juvenis...”) donated the remaining two parts with the consent of “uxore sua”[882]. m ---.

D. SEIGNEURS de l’ISLE-BOUCHARD
The seigneurie de l’Isle-Bouchard was located south-east of Chinon, on the banks of the river Vienne, north of Châtellerault, in the present-day French département of Indre-et-Loire. The reconstruction of the family shown below depends heavily on charters included in the published cartulary of the abbey of Noyers. Unfortunately few of these documents are dated. The published cartulary includes, in every case, an estimated date for each charter. However, the documents themselves contain little information enabling such estimates to be corroborated. In some cases, as will be seen below, these estimated dates present difficulties in the family reconstruction, suggesting that they may be inaccurate. It should be emphasised that the following reconstruction reflects the information contained in the primary sources which have been identified so far. If other sources emerge, adjustments may be needed to take into account new information. Many of the details shown below are inconsistent with the reconstruction shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[884], which also includes other individuals who are not named in the primary documentation consulted.
1. BOUCHARD [I] (-after 1020). Seigneur de l’Isle-Bouchard. "Burchardus miles et senior, dominus Castri quem vocant ad insulam super fluvium Vigennæ" confirmed the donation of "allodio…Taventum" to Marmoutier by "Theobaldus", at the request of "Theobaldus, Aimericus et Alfredus avunculi", for the souls of "filiorum meorum Hugonis, Huberti atque Aimerici, conjugemque Hermengardis defunctæ, et Agnetis", charter dated 1020[885]. A charter dated 1069 records that "Buchardus miles senior, castri dominus quod vocant Insulam" had donated rights over "allodio Tavennensi" to Marmoutier for the souls of "filiorum Hugonis, Huberti et Aimerici" and for the love of "conjugis suæ Hermengardis", that after his death "Tetbaldus comes" captured the land, that in compensation "Burchardus" donated half "villæ Ripariæ" to the monastery and that "Gaufridus avunculus suus" entered Marmoutier as a monk, and that "Buchardo mortuo, Pelopinus nepos eius" excluded "partem Ripariæ" from his inheritance, signed by "Fulco comes…" [Foulques IV "le Rechin" Comte d’Anjou][886]. m firstly ERMENGARDE, daughter of ---.

Bouchard & his [first/second] wife had [four] children: a) HUGUES .

The name of Hugues’s wife is not known. Hugues & his wife had two children: i) BOUCHARD [II] (-[1065/67]). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated to [1067] quoted below. Seigneur de l’Isle-Bouchard. “Odila et...” donated property “apud Ismantiam” to Noyers, with the consent of “domino nostro Burchardo et uxore eius Agnete”, by charter dated to [1065], witnessed by “Burchardus dominus Insulæ...”[890]. A charter dated to [1067] records (1) that “Burchardus...filius Huonis dominus castri Insulæ Burchardi dum eidem castro dominaretur” founded the church of Saint-Gilles “apud Ismantiam”, with “Andreas Peloquinus filius Archembaldi Burrelli” consenting to the donations made by “patruus eius Burchardus” and (2) that “archiepiscopus Bartholomæus” approved the foundation with the consent of “Bartholomæus filius Archembaldi” who held “castrum Insulæ post Peloquinum” witnessed by “...Andreæ Peloquini”[891]. A charter dated 1069 records that "Buchardus miles senior, castri dominus quod vocant Insulam" had donated rights over "allodio Tavennensi" to Marmoutier for the souls of "filiorum Hugonis, Huberti et Aimerici" and for the love of "conjugis suæ Hermengardis", that after his death "Tetbaldus comes" captured the land, that in compensation "Burchardus" donated half "villæ Ripariæ" to the monastery and that "Gaufridus avunculus suus" entered Marmoutier as a monk, and that "Buchardo mortuo, Pelopinus nepos eius" excluded "partem Ripariæ" from his inheritance, signed by "Fulco comes…" [Foulques IV "le Rechin" Comte d’Anjou][892]. m AGNES, daughter of --- (-after [1065]). “Odila et...” donated property “apud Ismantiam” to Noyers, with the consent of “domino nostro Burchardo et uxore eius Agnete”, by charter dated to [1065], witnessed by “Burchardus dominus Insulæ...”[893]. ii) [AMABILIS] . The parentage and marriage of this person are indicated by the charter dated 1069 which records that "Buchardus miles senior, castri dominus quod vocant Insulam" had donated rights over "allodio Tavennensi" to Marmoutier for the souls of "filiorum Hugonis, Huberti et Aimerici" and for the love of "conjugis suæ Hermengardis", that after his death "Tetbaldus comes" captured the land, that in compensation [the brother of this person] "Burchardus" donated half "villæ Ripariæ" to the monastery and that "Buchardo mortuo, Pelopinus nepos eius" excluded "partem Ripariæ" from his inheritance[894]. This interpretation assumes that “nepos” in this document can be interpreted as nephew. The charter dated 1198 quoted below names Archambaud Borell (recorded elsewhere as the father of Peloquin [I] and Barthélemy, see below) and “Gérard Borell”. This reference to two persons named “Borell”, a name otherwise unassociated with the earlier seigneurs de l’Isle-Bouchard, suggests that they belonged to a different family. If that is correct, it appears more likely that Bouchard [II]’s sister married Archambaud Borell rather than that Archambaud was Bouchard’s brother. Her name is confirmed by a charter dated to [1085] which records the donation of a vine to Noyers by “homine Andraudo” with the consent of “Archembaudus Burrellus et Amabilis conjux eius”, the later claim by “Peloquinus filius ipsius Archembaldi”, and the subsequent settlement of the resulting dispute[895], although it is not known whether Archambaud was married twice and this was the name of his second wife who was not the daughter of Hugues de l’Isle-Bouchard. Europäische Stammtafeln names the wife of Archambaud Borell as “Agnes 1140” (no reference is made to “Amabilis”)[896]. From a chronological point of view, “1140” could not refer to the wife of Archambaud Borell. It is likely that Europäische Stammtafeln mistook the charter dated 1140, quoted below, which names another “Borell” and his wife Agnes, as referring to Archambaud Borell. m ARCHAMBAUD Borell, son of GERAUD Borell & his wife Oda ---. b) HUBERT . "Burchardus miles et senior, dominus Castri quem vocant ad insulam super fluvium Vigennæ" confirmed the donation of "allodio…Taventum" to Marmoutier by "Theobaldus", for the souls of "filiorum meorum Hugonis, Huberti atque Aimerici, conjugemque Hermengardis defunctæ, et Agnetis", charter dated 1020[897]. c) AIMERY . "Burchardus miles et senior, dominus Castri quem vocant ad insulam super fluvium Vigennæ" confirmed the donation of "allodio…Taventum" to Marmoutier by "Theobaldus", for the souls of "filiorum meorum Hugonis, Huberti atque Aimerici, conjugemque Hermengardis defunctæ, et Agnetis", charter dated 1020[898]. d) [GERAUD . A charter dated 1069 records that "Buchardus miles senior, castri dominus quod vocant Insulam" had donated rights over "allodio Tavennensi" to Marmoutier for the souls of "filiorum Hugonis, Huberti et Aimerici" and for the love of "conjugis suæ Hermengardis", that after his death "Tetbaldus comes" captured the land, that in compensation "Burchardus" donated half "villæ Ripariæ" to the monastery and that "Gaufridus avunculus suus" entered Marmoutier as a monk[899]. If “avunculus” in this charter can be interpreted in its strict sense of maternal uncle, Géraud was the brother of Bouchard [II]’s mother. However, the term was also used to indicate paternal uncle, so the question is not without doubt.]
[Two possible brothers:] 1. GERAUD Borell . His existence is confirmed by the charter dated 1198 under which "Bartholomæus dominus Insulæ" settled a dispute with Cormery concerning "Villania et Rivarena", possessed by the abbey “tempore patris mei Buchardi et antecessorum eius”, and “usum nemorum” granted “in antiquis cartis donatorum Girardi Borrelli et Archembauldi Borrelli”[900]. It is possible that Géraud was the father or brother of Archambaud Borell who is named below. This charter presumably refers to the following earlier donation. "Reverendus vir Gerardus [signed Gerardi Borrelli]...cum sua conjuge Oda...ac filiis suis...Archembaudo et Gerardo" donated "quemdam locum, qui antiquitus Rivarenna appellatur, dicatus in honorem beati Petri apostoli" to Cormery, and confirmed a donation of property “in villa...Valenna”, by charter dated to [1026/40][901]. m ODA, daughter of ---. "Reverendus vir Gerardus [signed Gerardi Borrelli]...cum sua conjuge Oda...ac filiis suis...Archembaudo et Gerardo" donated "quemdam locum, qui antiquitus Rivarenna appellatur, dicatus in honorem beati Petri apostoli" to Cormery, and confirmed a donation of property “in villa...Valenna”, by charter dated to [1026/40][902]. Géraud & his wife had two children: a) ARCHAMBAUD Borell . "Reverendus vir Gerardus [signed Gerardi Borrelli]...cum sua conjuge Oda...ac filiis suis...Archembaudo et Gerardo" donated "quemdam locum, qui antiquitus Rivarenna appellatur, dicatus in honorem beati Petri apostoli" to Cormery, and confirmed a donation of property “in villa...Valenna”, by charter dated to [1026/40][903]. A charter dated to [1085] records the donation of a vine to Noyers by “homine Andraudo” with the consent of “Archembaudus Burrellus et Amabilis conjux eius”, the later claim by “Peloquinus filius ipsius Archembaldi”, and the subsequent settlement of the resulting dispute[904]. m [AMABILIS] [de l’Isle-Bouchard, daughter of HUGUES de l’Isle-Bouchard & his wife ---]. The parentage and marriage of this person are indicated by the charter dated 1069 which records that "Buchardus miles senior, castri dominus quod vocant Insulam" had donated rights over "allodio Tavennensi" to Marmoutier for the souls of "filiorum Hugonis, Huberti et Aimerici" and for the love of "conjugis suæ Hermengardis", that after his death "Tetbaldus comes" captured the land, that in compensation [the brother of this person] "Burchardus" donated half "villæ Ripariæ" to the monastery and that "Buchardo mortuo, Pelopinus nepos eius" excluded "partem Ripariæ" from his inheritance[905]. This interpretation assumes that “nepos” in this document can be interpreted as nephew. The charter 1198 quoted below names Archambaud Borell (recorded elsewhere as the father of Barthélemy, brother of Peloquin, see below) and “Gérard Borell”. This reference to two persons named “Borell”, a name otherwise unassociated with the earlier seigneurs de l’Isle-Bouchard, suggests that they belonged to a different family. If that is correct, it appears more likely that Bouchard [II]’s sister married Archambaud Borell rather than that Archambaud was Bouchard’s brother. Her name is confirmed by a charter dated to [1085] which records the donation of a vine to Noyers by “homine Andraudo” with the consent of “Archembaudus Burrellus et Amabilis conjux eius”, the later claim by “Peloquinus filius ipsius Archembaldi”, and the subsequent settlement of the resulting dispute[906], although it is not known whether Archambaud was married twice and this was the name of his second wife who was not the daughter of Hugues de l’Isle-Bouchard. Europäische Stammtafeln names the wife of Archambaud Borell as “Agnes 1140” (no reference is made to “Amabilis”)[907]. From a chronological point of view, “1140” could not refer to the wife of Archambaud Borell. It is likely that Europäische Stammtafeln mistook the charter dated 1140, quoted below, which names another “Borell” and his wife Agnes, as referring to Archambaud Borell. Archambaud & his wife had [four] children: i) ANDRE “Peloquin” [I] (-after [1109]). Seigneur de l’Isle-Bouchard. The charter dated to [1067] quoted below suggests that André “Peloquin” [I] succeeded his uncle Bouchard [II] as seigneur de l’Isle-Bouchard, died soon afterwards, and was succeeded by his brother Barthélemy. This interpretation appears supported by the death of Barthélemy Archbishop of Tours being dated to [1068/70], suggesting that the two transactions recorded in the two parts of the charter were contemporaneous. However, another charter quoted below suggests that “Peloquin” survived until at least [1109]. This apparent contradiction cannot be explained, unless the second part of the charter was written later, by the time Barthélemy had succeeded his brother, this succession being recorded even though it had not occurred when Archbishop Barthélemy confirmed the foundation. Another possibility is that the charter dated to [1109] is misdated, although the charters dated to [1080] and after quoted below indicate that “Peloquin” was still alive. A charter dated to [1067] records (1) that “Burchardus...filius Huonis dominus castri Insulæ Burchardi dum eidem castro dominaretur” founded the church of Saint-Gilles “apud Ismantiam”, with “Andreas Peloquinus filius Archembaldi Burrelli” consenting to the donations made by “patruus eius Burchardus” and (2) that “archiepiscopus Bartholomæus” approved the foundation with the consent of “Bartholomæus filius Archembaldi” who held “castrum Insulæ post Peloquinum” witnessed by “...Andreæ Peloquini”[908]. A charter dated 1069 records that "Buchardus miles senior, castri dominus quod vocant Insulam" had donated rights over "allodio Tavennensi" to Marmoutier for the souls of "filiorum Hugonis, Huberti et Aimerici" and for the love of "conjugis suæ Hermengardis", that after his death "Tetbaldus comes" captured the land, that in compensation "Burchardus" donated half "villæ Ripariæ" to the monastery and that "Gaufridus avunculus suus" entered Marmoutier as a monk, and that "Buchardo mortuo, Pelopinus nepos eius" excluded "partem Ripariæ" from his inheritance, signed by "Fulco comes…" [Foulques IV "Nerra" Comte d’Anjou][909]. A charter dated to [1080] records a dispute between Noyers concerning “terras et vineas...super ripam Ismantiæ et Vigennæ” donated by “vir de Insula Gaufridus...cognomine Pila-Vicinum”, disputed after his death by “Savaricus filius...Oggisii” who brought an action “coram domino Peloquino Insulæ”[910]. ["Dominus Peloquinus...dominus castri...Insulæ" donated property “apud villam...de Duobus Luciis” to the monastery of Cormery to permit "fratrem...Thomam" to enter as a monk, with the consent of “Bartholomæus frater ipsius Peloquini” who confirmed donations made by “atavus et avus et pater eius Archembaldus Borellus”, by charter dated to [1109][911]. Doubts about the dating of this charter follow from the earlier discussion about the charter dated to [1067].] m ---. The name of Peloquin’s wife is not known. Peloquin [I] & his wife had two children: (a) ANDRE “Peloquin” [II] ([1060/65]-after 1140). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated to [1085] quoted below. A charter dated to [1067] records (1) that “Burchardus...filius Huonis dominus castri Insulæ Burchardi dum eidem castro dominaretur” founded the church of Saint-Gilles “apud Ismantiam”, with “Andreas Peloquinus filius Archembaldi Burrelli” consenting to the donations made by “patruus eius Burchardus” and (2) that “archiepiscopus Bartholomæus” approved the foundation with the consent of “Bartholomæus filius Archembaldi” who held “castrum Insulæ post Peloquinum” witnessed by “...Andreæ Peloquini”[912]. The name of the witness to the second part of this document suggests a family relationship with the confirmant. It would be inconsistent with the first part of the document that he was the same person as André “Peloquin” [I]. The most likely explanation is that he was the same person as the son of André Peloquin [I] who is named in the charter dated to [1085] quoted below. If that is correct, the series of documents quoted in this section suggests that André Peloquin [II] was a minor when his father died and was passed over as seigneur in favour of his paternal uncle, who continued to share power with him after Peloquin [II] attained the age of majority before [1084]. Seigneur de l’Isle-Bouchard. - see below. (b) BARTHELEMY [II] (-after [1084]). “Bartholomæus frater Peloquini...” witnessed the charter dated to [1084] which records the donation of “terram...Montiniacus”, held from “Aimerico de Fagia”, by “Savaricus de Bosceia...audiente Peloquino domino Insulæ”[913]. ii) BARTHELEMY [I] (-after [1113]). Seigneur de l’Isle-Bouchard. A charter dated to [1067] records (1) that “Burchardus...filius Huonis dominus castri Insulæ Burchardi dum eidem castro dominaretur” founded the church of Saint-Gilles “apud Ismantiam”, with “Andreas Peloquinus filius Archembaldi Burrelli” consenting to the donations made by “patruus eius Burchardus” and (2) that “archiepiscopus Bartholomæus” approved the foundation with the consent of “Bartholomæus filius Archembaldi” who held “castrum Insulæ post Peloquinum” witnessed by “...Andreæ Peloquini”[914]. A charter dated to [1082] confirms rights of Noyers “in ecclesia...Sancti Patricii”, with the support of “Bartholomæus dominus Insulæ et Girberga uxor eius”[915]. “Bartholomæus Insulæ dominus” donated property “in terra Crulliaci” to Noyers, with the consent of “conjux eius domina Girberga et filia eorum Dangerosa”, by charter dated to [1087][916]. “Bartholomæus dominus Insulæ” confirmed the donation of property to Noyers made by “Giraldus filius Ivonis” by charter dated to [1089][917]. A charter dated to [1090] records a war between “Fulconis comitis fratris Barbati” and “Bartholomæum dominum Insulæ” over “castrum ad Campaniacum”[918]. A charter dated to [1094] records that “Bartholomæus dominus Castri Insulæ” confirmed donations to Noyers made by “pater eius Archembaudus...patruus Burchardus filius Ivonis...frater eius Andreas Peloquinus...Girardus filius Ivonis”[919]. An undated charter (dated to [1102]) records that “Boso vicecomes Castri Adraldi et Bartholomæus de Insula et Hugo de Sancta Maura” besieged “rupem...Mirmanda” and attacked Faye, and that subsequent donations were made to Noyers[920]. ["Dominus Peloquinus...dominus castri...Insulæ" donated property “apud villam...de Duobus Luciis” to the monastery of Cormery to permit "fratrem...Thomam" to enter as a monk, with the consent of “Bartholomæus frater ipsius Peloquini” who confirmed donations made by “atavus et avus et pater eius Archembaldus Borellus”, by charter dated to [1109][921]. Doubts about the dating of this charter follow from the discussion about the charter dated to [1067] (see above, under Barthélemy’s brother André “Peloquin”).] “Bartholomæus dominus Insulæ...” witnessed a charter dated to [1110] which records donations to Noyers of property “in alodo de Buxeriis”[922]. “Barthélemy seigneur de l’Ile-Bouchard” donated property to Noyers, and confirmed donations made by “son père Archambaud et son oncle Bouchard”, by charter dated 1112[923]. “Aimericus proconsul Castri Araldi, Bartholomæus dominus Insulæ, Aimericus dominus Fagiæ, Paganus dominus Montis-Basonis, Hugo dominus Sanctæ Mauræ...” witnessed the charter dated to [1113] which records an agreement between the monks of Noyers and “Hugo Goscelini” concerning “terræ quam habebat Guitburgis mater Radulfi de Fontanellis”[924]. m GERBERGE, daughter of --- (-after [1087]). A charter dated to [1082] confirms rights of Noyers “in ecclesia...Sancti Patricii”, with the support of “Bartholomæus dominus Insulæ et Girberga uxor eius”[925]. A charter dated to [1085] records the hearing of a dispute involving Noyers abbey “apud Insulam in curia dominæ Girbergiæ”[926]. “Domina Girberga de Insula et filius eius Burchardus” sold property “apud Insulam” to Noyers by charter dated to [1087], witnessed by “Goscelino de Sancta Maura...”[927]. “Bartholomæus Insulæ dominus” donated property “in terra Crulliaci” to Noyers, with the consent of “conjux eius domina Girberga et filia eorum Dangerosa”, by charter dated to [1087][928]. Barthélemy [I] & his wife had two children: (a) BOUCHARD (-after [1087]). “Domina Girberga de Insula et filius eius Burchardus” sold property “apud Insulam” to Noyers by charter dated to [1087], witnessed by “Goscelino de Sancta Maura...”[929]. (b) DANGEROSE (-after [1087]). “Bartholomæus Insulæ dominus” donated property “in terra Crulliaci” to Noyers, with the consent of “conjux eius domina Girberga et filia eorum Dangerosa”, by charter dated to [1087][930]. Europäische Stammtafeln suggests that she was the wife of Aimery [I] Vicomte de Châtellerault[931]. From a chronological point of view, the daughter of Barthélemy [I] appears to have been of the right age to have been the wife of Vicomte Aimery [I], but no other indication has been found that this is correct other than her unusual name. iii) THOMAS (-[after 1109]). "Dominus Peloquinus...dominus castri...Insulæ" donated property “apud villam...de Duobus Luciis” to the monastery of Cormery to permit "fratrem...Thomam" to enter as a monk, with the consent of “Bartholomæus frater ipsius Peloquini” who confirmed donations made by “atavus et avus et pater eius Archembaldus Borellus”, by charter dated to [1109][932]. Doubts about the dating of this charter follow from the discussion about the charter dated to [1067] (see above, under Thomas’s brother André “Peloquin”). iv) [son . The name of his son, Borell, suggests that he was descended from Archambaud Borell. His date of death appears late for him to have been Archambaud’s son. It is possible therefore that Borell was the son of an otherwise unrecorded younger son of Archambaud.] m ---. One child: (a) BORELL (-[1137/40]). He is named in the two charters of his wife. m AGNES, daughter of ---. “Agnès femme de Borel de l’Ile et Hugues son fils” confirmed the donation made to Turpenay by “Jacquelin de Ussé et Peloquin seigneur de l’Ile-Bouchard” by charter dated 1137[933]. “Hugues, fils de Borel, seigneur de l’Ile-Bouchard” confirmed, with the consent of “Agnès son épouse”, the donations to Turpenay made by “Peloquin seigneur de l’Ile-Bouchard...après la mort de Borel son père” and by “Bouchard et Barthélemy fils du dit Peloquin”, by charter dated 1140[934]. Borell & his wife had one child: (1) HUGUES . “Agnès femme de Borel de l’Ile et Hugues son fils” confirmed the donation made to Turpenay by “Jacquelin de Ussé et Peloquin seigneur de l’Ile-Bouchard” by charter dated 1137[935]. “Hugues, fils de Borel, seigneur de l’Ile-Bouchard” confirmed, with the consent of “Agnès son épouse” [mistake for “sa mère”?], the donations to Turpenay made by “Peloquin seigneur de l’Ile-Bouchard...après la mort de Borel son père” and by “Bouchard et Barthélemy fils du dit Peloquin”, by charter dated 1140[936]. b) GERAUD . "Reverendus vir Gerardus [signed Gerardi Borrelli]...cum sua conjuge Oda...ac filiis suis...Archembaudo et Gerardo" donated "quemdam locum, qui antiquitus Rivarenna appellatur, dicatus in honorem beati Petri apostoli" to Cormery, and confirmed a donation of property “in villa...Valenna”, by charter dated to [1026/40][937]. 2. [--- .] m ---. One child: a) IVES . He is named as father of Bouchard in the charter quoted below, indicating that the term “patruus” was not used in that document in its strict sense of paternal uncle. The chronology of the charters in which his sons are named suggests that Ives was the first cousin of the father of Barthélemy [I] not Barthélemy’s great-uncle. [m firstly ---. Ives’s son Bouchard, not named as the son of his known wife Odile in her charter dated to [1099] (see below) may have been born from an earlier unrecorded marriage of his father (unless Bouchard died in [1098/99] before this charter was issued).] m [secondly] ODILE, daughter of --- (-[1099/05]). “Matrona nobilis de Insula Odila...mater Aimerici et Girardi filiorum Yvonis” donated “medietatem terræ prope castrum Fagiæ...Cantat-Gallus” to Noyers by charter dated to [1099][938]. Odile was presumably the sister of the two “avunculi” of her sons named in the following document: “Aimericus et Girardus filii Ivonis” confirmed the donation of “terram de Colpoi” to Noyers made by “avunculi eorum Oggerus et Hubertus”, with the consent of “uxoribus eorum Sicilia et Burgesia”, by charter dated [1102][939]. Ives & his [first] wife had one child: i) BOUCHARD (-after [1098]). A charter dated to [1094] records that “Bartholomæus dominus Castri Insulæ” confirmed donations to Noyers made by “pater eius Archembaudus...patruus Burchardus filius Ivonis...frater eius Andreas Peloquinus...Girardus filius Ivonis”[940]. “Burcardus filius Ivonis de Insula” donated property “apud Esmantiam” to Noyers, with the consent of “nepos eius Peloquinus”, by charter dated to [1098][941]. Ives & his [second] wife had two children: ii) AIMERY (-after [1105]). “Girardus Ivonis filius...uxor eius Burgesia...et Aimericus frater eius, Geraldi scilicet, et uxor eius Sizilla” donated property “apud Canta-gallum” to Noyers by charter dated to [1097], witnessed by “...Odo nepos ipsius Aimerici...”[942]. The precise family relationship between Aimery and his “nepos” Eudes has not been ascertained. A charter dated to [1101] records that “Oggerius de Mota...” donated “terræ apud Salvaticum” to Noyers, with the consent of “...Aimericus et Girardus filii Ivonis...Hugone de Sancta Maura et Guillelmo filio eius...”[943]. “Aimericus et Girardus filii Ivonis” confirmed the donation of “terram de Colpoi” to Noyers made by “avunculi eorum Oggerus et Hubertus”, with the consent of “uxoribus eorum Sicilia et Burgesia”, by charter dated [1102][944]. “Aimericus Ivonis filius” donated annual produce “de molendino...Chalcasac” to Noyers, for the souls of “patris mei et matris meæ” and for the soul of “Ceciliæ uxoris meæ”, with the consent of “Girardus frater meus et ambo filii eius Ivo et Aimericus”, by charter dated to [1105][945]. A charter dated to [1105] records an agreement between Marmoutiers and Noyers abbeys concerning “ecclesiam...sancti Egidii...in castro...Insula”, naming “Aimerici filii Yvonis et Gerardi fratris sui...Gaufredo genero eiusdem Aimerici, Hugone de Sancta Maura...”[946]. m CECILE, daughter of --- (-after [1105]). “Girardus Ivonis filius...uxor eius Burgesia...et Aimericus frater eius, Geraldi scilicet, et uxor eius Sizilla” donated property “apud Canta-gallum” to Noyers by charter dated to [1097], witnessed by “...Odo nepos ipsius Aimerici...”[947]. “Aimericus et Girardus filii Ivonis” confirmed the donation of “terram de Colpoi” to Noyers made by “avunculi eorum Oggerus et Hubertus”, with the consent of “uxoribus eorum Sicilia et Burgesia”, by charter dated [1102][948]. “Aimericus Ivonis filius” donated annual produce “de molendino...Chalcasac” to Noyers, for the souls of “patris mei et matris meæ” and for the soul of “Ceciliæ uxoris meæ”, with the consent of “Girardus frater meus et ambo filii eius Ivo et Aimericus”, by charter dated to [1105][949]. Aimery & his wife had one child: (a) daughter . Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by a charter dated to [1105] which records an agreement between Marmoutiers and Noyers abbeys concerning “ecclesiam...sancti Egidii...in castro...Insula”, naming “Aimerici filii Yvonis et Gerardi fratris sui...Gaufredo genero eiusdem Aimerici, Hugone de Sancta Maura...”[950]. m GEOFFROY, son of ---. iii) GERARD (-after [1105]). A charter dated to [1094] records that “Bartholomæus dominus Castri Insulæ” confirmed donations to Noyers made by “pater eius Archembaudus...patruus Burchardus filius Ivonis...frater eius Andreas Peloquinus...Girardus filius Ivonis”[951]. The presence of Gérard and Bouchard in the same charter, with the same father’s name, suggests that they may have been brothers. However, this relationship is placed in doubt by the following charter whose date is somewhat later than would be expected if Gérard was the first cousin of the father of Barthélemy [I]. “Girardus Ivonis filius...uxor eius Burgesia...et Aimericus frater eius, Geraldi scilicet, et uxor eius Sizilla” donated property “apud Canta-gallum” to Noyers by charter dated to [1097], witnessed by “...Odo nepos ipsius Aimerici...”[952]. A charter dated to [1101] records that “Oggerius de Mota...” donated “terræ apud Salvaticum” to Noyers, with the consent of “...Aimericus et Girardus filii Ivonis...Hugone de Sancta Maura et Guillelmo filio eius...”[953]. “Aimericus et Girardus filii Ivonis” confirmed the donation of “terram de Colpoi” to Noyers made by “avunculi eorum Oggerus et Hubertus”, with the consent of “uxoribus eorum Sicilia et Burgesia”, by charter dated [1102][954]. “Aimericus Ivonis filius” donated annual produce “de molendino...Chalcasac” to Noyers, for the souls of “patris mei et matris meæ” and for the soul of “Ceciliæ uxoris meæ”, with the consent of “Girardus frater meus et ambo filii eius Ivo et Aimericus”, by charter dated to [1105][955]. A charter dated to [1105] records an agreement between Marmoutiers and Noyers abbeys concerning “ecclesiam...sancti Egidii...in castro...Insula”, naming “Aimerici filii Yvonis et Gerardi fratris sui...Gaufredo genero eiusdem Aimerici, Hugone de Sancta Maura...”[956]. m BURGESIA, daughter of --- (-after [1102]). “Girardus Ivonis filius...uxor eius Burgesia...et Aimericus frater eius, Geraldi scilicet, et uxor eius Sizilla” donated property “apud Canta-gallum” to Noyers by charter dated to [1097], witnessed by “...Odo nepos ipsius Aimerici...”[957]. “Aimericus et Girardus filii Ivonis” confirmed the donation of “terram de Colpoi” to Noyers made by “avunculi eorum Oggerus et Hubertus”, with the consent of “uxoribus eorum Sicilia et Burgesia”, by charter dated [1102][958]. Gérard & his wife had two children: (a) IVES . “Aimericus Ivonis filius” donated annual produce “de molendino...Chalcasac” to Noyers, for the souls of “patris mei et matris meæ” and for the soul of “Ceciliæ uxoris meæ”, with the consent of “Girardus frater meus et ambo filii eius Ivo et Aimericus”, by charter dated to [1105][959]. (b) AIMERY . “Aimericus Ivonis filius” donated annual produce “de molendino...Chalcasac” to Noyers, for the souls of “patris mei et matris meæ” and for the soul of “Ceciliæ uxoris meæ”, with the consent of “Girardus frater meus et ambo filii eius Ivo et Aimericus”, by charter dated to [1105][960].
ANDRE “Peloquin” [II], son of ANDRE “Peloquin” [I] & his wife --- ([1060/65]-after [1140]). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated to [1085] quoted below. A charter dated to [1067] records (1) that “Burchardus...filius Huonis dominus castri Insulæ Burchardi dum eidem castro dominaretur” founded the church of Saint-Gilles “apud Ismantiam”, with “Andreas Peloquinus filius Archembaldi Burrelli” consenting to the donations made by “patruus eius Burchardus” and (2) that “archiepiscopus Bartholomæus” approved the foundation with the consent of “Bartholomæus filius Archembaldi” who held “castrum Insulæ post Peloquinum” witnessed by “...Andreæ Peloquini”[961]. The name of the witness to the second part of this document suggests a family relationship with the confirmant. It would be inconsistent with the first part of the document that he was the same person as André “Peloquin” [I]. The most likely explanation is that he was the same person as the son of André Peloquin [I] who is named in the charter dated to [1085] quoted below. If that is correct, the series of documents quoted in this section suggests that André Peloquin [II] was a minor when his father died and was passed over as seigneur in favour of his paternal uncle, who continued to share power with him after Peloquin [II] attained the age of majority before [1084].
