Chapter 4. SEIGNEURS de LIGNY et de ROUSSY, COMTES de LIGNY (LUXEMBOURG)
INTRODUCTION
The county of Bar was part of the territory of the duchy of Upper Lotharingia and as such lay within the jurisdiction of the empire, although it was later incorporated into the kingdom of France. French influence in the area was always strong, as shown by the number of French or Lotharingian marriages of members of the comital family and the correspondingly small number of connections with German noble families. Otto I King of Germany temporarily ceded the area of Bar to Louis IV "d'Outremer" King of the West Franks in 942[1]. It reverted to imperial control in [951/59], maybe forming part of the dowry of Béatrix de France [Capet] when she married Frédéric [Wigeriche] who was installed as duke of Upper Lotharingia by King Otto in 959. Duke Frédéric constructed the castle of Bar on the banks of the river Ornain opposite the town of Bar. Its construction triggered protests from King Louis IV to King Otto, the former considering the area within his sphere of influence, and from the Bishop of Toul, who considered that part of the land belonged to one of his churches[2].
The comtes de Mousson inherited the castle of Bar from the family of the dukes of Upper Lotharingia on the marriage in 1038 of Sophie, co-heiress of Frédéric II Duke of Upper Lotharingia, to Louis Comte de Mousson (see Chapter 1). It was not until the first quarter of the 12th century that the family adopted their name from this castle (see Chapter 2).
Robert I Comte de Bar was created Marquis de Pont-à-Mousson by imperial order dated 13 Mar 1354. He adopted the title Duke of Bar around the same time, but this appears to have been a usurpation[3] (see Chapter 3).
Chapter 1. COMTES de MOUSSON
LOUIS, son of RICHWIN Comte de Charpeigne & his wife Mathilde --- (-after 1019). A charter dated 1019, which records an agreement between Berthold Bishop of Toul and "Olricus miles", is subscribed by "Riquini comitis, Ludovicus comitis patris eius, item Ludovici filii eius, Theodorici fratris eius"[4]. same person as…? LOUIS ([1015]-[29 Aug 1071/1076]). This co-identity is proposed by Europäische Stammtafeln[5]. It is true that it presents no chronological difficulties, but it is not the only theory which has been proposed to explain the origin of Louis Comte de Mousson. Comte de Mousson. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "comiti Montionis Ludovico" when recording his marriage[6]. The Herimanni Augiensis Chronicon records that "Ludowicus comes" expelled "Reginoldum principem, reginæ Agnetis avunculum, sed Heinrico regi inimicum" (Renaud Comte Palatin de Bourgogne) from "castellum…Mons Piligardæ" (Montbéliard/Mömpelgard)[7]. He had possessions in the south of Alsace and around Hagenau, covering the southern part of the county of Sundgau as far as Basel and including Héricourt, Belfort, Altkirch and Ferrette, as well as the château de Montbéliard temporarily[8]. "Gerardi Ducis, Othonis Marchionis, Ludovici Comitis de Montione, Renaldi Comitis Tullensis, Hamonis de Brixeio, Milonis filii Rodulphi de Gondricurte" witnessed the bull of Pope Leo IX dated 1051 which confirms the church of Saint-Diey[9]. He was in dispute with Gérard d'Alsace Duke of Lower Lotharingia in 1057 and 1063 over the inheritance of Pope Leo IX[10]. "Heinricus…rex" founded a market at "in villa Villach…in comitatu Francisci Ludewici comitis" by charter dated 8 Feb 1060[11]. "Heinricus…rex" granted property "in pagis Cletgowe et Hegowe in comitatibus Gerungi et Lodawici comitis" to "comiti Eberhardo" by charter dated 1067[12]. "Heinricus…rex" donated property "in villa Chambo in pago Einriche in comitatu Lodowici comitis" to St Suitbertsstift at Kaiserswerth by charter dated 1067[13]. He appears to have challenged the succession of Thierry Duke of Lorraine in 1070, claiming the title himself[14]. Comte Louis is last recorded 29 Aug 1071 in a declaration of his son Frederic, but died before 1076 when his widow invested Sigefroi as abbot of Saint-Mihiel[15]. m (1038) SOPHIE of Upper Lotharingia, daughter of FREDERIC II Duke of Upper Lotharingia & his wife Mathilde of Swabia ([1018]-21 Jan 1093). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "comitissa Barri…Sophia" as wife of "comiti Montionis Ludovico", specifying that she was sister of "Beatrix marchisa" but incorrectly naming "Sigefridi fratris Frederici" as their father[16]. Her share of the succession of her brother consisted of the abbey of Saint-Mihiel and its dependencies, the castles of Bar, Amance and Mousson, the southern part of her family's ancestral lands[17]. She entered into possession of these lands at the time of her marriage[18]. Pibon Bishop of Toul granted privileges to the priory of Laître sous Amance, founded by "comitissæ Sophiæ", by charter dated 1076 under which she declared the castle of Amance belonged to "Theodericus dux, comitissæ avus" who had inherited it from "comiti Folmaro in Asmantia"[19]. "Sophia…comitissa" donated Betlémont and Anseville to the abbey of Saint-Mihiel, with the consent of "filio meo Friderico…filii mei Theodorici comitis…fratrum suorum" by undated charter[20]. The Obituaire de Saint-Mansuy records the death "21 Jan" of "Sophia comitissa"[21]. Comte Louis & his wife had seven children, all of whom are named (as deceased) in the 8 Mar 1105 charter of the couple's daughter-in-law Ermentrude de Bourgogne, listed in the following order: 1. BRUNO (-young). "Filia Wilelmi comitis de Burgundia Hermentrudis…" founded the Cluniac abbey of Froidefontaine by charter dated 8 Mar 1105 in which she names "suis antecessoribus…Lodewico, Sophia eius uxore, et filiis eorum Brunone, Theoderico, Lodewico, Friderico, filiabus vero Mathilde, Sophia, Beatrice…"[22]. 2. THIERRY ([1045]-1/2 Jan 1103, bur Autun Cathedral). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Theodericum" as son of "comiti Montionis Ludovico" and his wife Sophie[23]. He was invested as Comte de Verdun by Richer Bishop of Verdun. - see below. 3. LOUIS (-after 1080). "Filia Wilelmi comitis de Burgundia Hermentrudis…" founded the Cluniac abbey of Froidefontaine by charter dated 8 Mar 1105 in which she names "suis antecessoribus…Lodewico, Sophia eius uxore, et filiis eorum Brunone, Theoderico, Lodewico, Friderico, filiabus vero Mathilde, Sophia, Beatrice…"[24]. Seigneur de Commercy. According to Jean de Bayon, "Ludovicum…Sophiæ veteris filium" was captured by "Gerardus comes frater Theodorici Lotharingiæ ducis germanus" in [1071] and held captive for a long time[25]. Louis witnessed the charter dated 1080 under which his mother Sophie ruled on the dispute between the abbot of Saint-Mihiel and Boson de Viocourt, avoué of Houécourt[26]. 4. FREDERIC (-29 Jun 1091, bur [Canossa]). "Filia Wilelmi comitis de Burgundia Hermentrudis…" founded the Cluniac abbey of Froidefontaine by charter dated 8 Mar 1105 in which she names "suis antecessoribus…Lodewico, Sophia eius uxore, et filiis eorum Brunone, Theoderico, Lodewico, Friderico, filiabus vero Mathilde, Sophia, Beatrice…"[27]. The mid-12th century Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi names "Theodericum de Monceons et Fredericum, fratres" as sons of "Sofia [filia Friderici ducis]"[28]. "Frederici filii Lodoici comitis…" subscribed the charter dated 29 Aug 1071 under which [his maternal aunt] "Beatrix comitissa ac ducatrix filia bon. mem. Federici ducis…ex natione mea lege vivere Saliga" donated property, for the souls of "Bonifacii marchionis atque ducis quodam viri mei…et…Matildæ filiæ meæ et…Gatefridi ducis quodam viri mei et…quodam Beatricis neptis meæ" to "monasterio…Frassinorum"[29]. Graf, Herr von Lützelburg [Lutzelbourg] und im Hagenau. A powerful lord in Swabia, he supported Rudolf von Rheinfelden as anti-king of Germany. He arrived in Italy in 1070, accompanying his maternal aunt Beatrix Signora di Canossa and her daughter Matilda later Ctss of Tuscany who benefited from his military help during the succeeding years[30]. He was installed [17 Sep1079/May 1080] as Marchese di Susa by his [future] wife's paternal grandmother[31]. This presumably took place after the death in Jan 1080 of his wife's uncle Amédée II Comte de Savoie, who had succeeded his older brother as Marchese di Susa in 1078. The Chronicon of Bernold records that "Frederici comitis" the son of "domnæ Sophiæ et Ludowici comitis" died "1091 III Kal Iul" and was buried "sancti Pauli"[32]. Emperor Heinrich IV captured the marquisate of Tuscany by force in 1092. m (Turin May 1080) AGNES de Maurienne, daughter of PIERRE I Comte de Savoie & his wife Agnès de Poitou ([1066/70]-after 13 Mar 1110). "Adalasia comitissa cum nuru sua Agneta et filia eius Agnete" donated property to "ecclesiæ S. Mariæ…Astensis episcopatus" by charter dated 18 Jun 1089[33]. "Agnes filia Petri marchionis et relicta olim Friderici" donated property to the monastery of Cavorre by charter dated 1091[34]. Her birth date is estimated from the marriage date of her parents, her mother's estimated birth date, and the fact that Agnes herself gave birth to three children before her husband died in 1091. She became a nun after her husband died. She was still alive in 1100[35]. Pope Pascal II confirmed a donation to the monastery of Fruttuaria San Benedetto by "Agnete comitissa, Petri marchionis filia" by charter dated 13 Mar 1110[36]. Marchese Friedrich & his wife had [three] children: a) PIERRE (-before 1140). The Genealogia B. Arnulphi Metensis episcopi records that "Fridericus frater Theodorici de Monçonz" was father of "Petrum de Lucelenborc"[37]. [Comte] de Lutzelbourg in Alsace. He succeeded his maternal great-grandmother as Marchese di Susa in Dec 1091[38], as a minor although his regent has not been identified. He was expelled from Susa in 1092 by Emperor Heinrich IV, who claimed the territory by right of his late first wife, who had been Peter's maternal aunt. The Chronicon of Bernold records that in 1092 "in Longobardia Chounradus filius Henrici regis" captured property of "Adalheidæ Taurinensis comitissæ" which the latter had given to her "nepos filius Frederici comitis", without naming him[39]. He retired to Lutzelbourg. A charter dated 1126 notes the foundation of “S. Johannis prope Tabernas” by “comes…Petrus de Luzelburg”, with the consent of “coniuge sua Itta et unico filio Regenhaldo”[40]. [m firstly ---. There is no proof of this first marriage apart from the fact that Renaud is described as Pierre´s only son by his wife named Ita in another source (see below), and that Renaud names Henri as his brother. It is possible that Henri was illegitimate.] m [secondly] [as her second husband,] ITA, [widow of ---,] daughter of --- (-after 1143). The Notitia Fundationis Cellæ Sancti Iohannis records a donation of "comes Petrus de Luzelburg, coniuge sua Itha et unico filio Regenhaldo" dated 1126 "in villa Meyenhemswilre"[41]. A charter dated 1126 notes the foundation of “S. Johannis prope Tabernas” by “comes…Petrus de Luzelburg”, with the consent of “coniuge sua Itta et unico filio Regenhaldo”[42]. A charter dated 1143 records that “comes Regenoldus comitis de Lutzelburg filius” donated “prædium...Loubach in sacro nemore” to Marmoutier, with the consent of “matris suæ...ac fratris sui Henrici Argentinensis advocati”, in the hands of “Otto hujus loci advocatus”[43]. As noted below under Henri, the involvement in this donation of the donor’s mother and his brother suggests that the latter was Renaud’s uterine brother born from an earlier marriage of his mother, particularly because Renaud is described as his father’s “unico filio” in the 1126 charter quoted above. Pierre & his [first wife] had [one child]: i) [HENRI (-1148). Advocate of Strasbourg: "…advocatus eiusdem civitatis Heinricus et patruus eius Sifridus" subscribed the charter dated 20 Jan 1129 under which Frédéric Comte de Ferrette and Thierry II Comte de Montbéliard granted the right not to be judged by foreign tribunals to the citizens of Strasbourg[44]. A charter dated 1143 records that “comes Regenoldus comitis de Lutzelburg filius” donated “prædium...Loubach in sacro nemore” to Marmoutier, with the consent of “matris suæ...ac fratris sui Henrici Argentinensis advocati”, in the hands of “Otto hujus loci advocatus”[45]. As mentioned above, it is possible that Henri was illegitimate. Given the involvement of the donor’s mother and brother in the 1143 charter, the more likely possibility is that Henri was Renaud’s uterine half-brother born to an earlier marriage of their mother.] Pierre & his [second] wife had one child: ii) RENAUD de Lutzelbourg (before 1126-after [1150]). The Notitia Fundationis Cellæ Sancti Iohannis records a donation of "comes Petrus de Luzelburg, coniuge sua Itha et unico filio Regenhaldo" dated 1126 "in villa Meyenhemswilre"[46]. A charter dated 1126 notes the foundation of “S. Johannis prope Tabernas” by “comes…Petrus de Luzelburg”, with the consent of “coniuge sua Itta et unico filio Regenhaldo”[47]. Comte de Lutzelbourg. Renaud, son of Pierre and brother of Henri avoué of Strasbourg, donated Lambach to the church of Saint-Martin[48]. The Gesta Episcoporum Mettensium records that "castrum…Lucelnburch" transferred to Etienne Bishop of Metz "iure hereditario" in [1150] but does not name Renaud[49]. b) BRUNO ([1086]-). Schoepflin names "Brunon de Lutzelbourg, doyen de l´Eglise de Strasbourg, en 1108" and "Sigefrid Vogt de Strasbourg, en 1116 et 1119" as younger brothers of "Pierre comte de Lutzelbourg" in his genealogical table but does not cite the sources to which these dates refer[50]. Szabolcs de Vajay identifies him as the grantee in the following charter[51]: “Berta...regina” donated “tres campos...et uno orto” in Huesca to “don Bruno mea magistro” by charter dated Jul [1101][52]. This may appear unlikely considering that Bruno cannot have been born much earlier than [1086] and therefore would have been no more than 10 years old at the most at the time of King Pedro's marriage to Queen Berta in 1097. Canon, later doyen at Strasbourg cathedral[53]. c) [SIGEFROI (-after 20 Jan 1129). "…advocatus eiusdem civitatis Heinricus et patruus eius Sifridus" subscribed the charter dated 20 Jan 1129 under which Frédéric Comte de Ferrette and Thierry II Comte de Montbéliard granted the right not to be judged by foreign tribunals to the citizens of Strasbourg[54]. Schoepflin names "Brunon de Lutzelbourg, doyen de l´Eglise de Strasbourg, en 1108" and "Sigefrid Vogt de Strasbourg, en 1116 et 1119" as younger brothers of "Pierre comte de Lutzelbourg" in his genealogical table but does not cite the sources to which these dates refer[55]. Given the suggestion made above that Henri was the son of Ita by an otherwise unrecorded earlier marriage, it is likely that Sigefroi was also related to Ita’s earlier husband.] 5. MATHILDE (-[28 Nov 1091/8 Mar 1105]). "Filia Wilelmi comitis de Burgundia Hermentrudis…" founded the Cluniac abbey of Froidefontaine by charter dated 8 Mar 1105 in which she names "suis antecessoribus…Lodewico, Sophia eius uxore, et filiis eorum Brunone, Theoderico, Lodewico, Friderico, filiabus vero Mathilde, Sophia, Beatrice…"[56]. She was present with her mother at the château de Bar 28 Nov 1091[57]. "Matthildis ancilla ancillarum Christi" (assumed to be Mathilde, daughter of Louis Comte de Mousson) confirmed donations to the abbey of Sainte-Croix, Wolfenheim, "ad Herlischesheim" donated by "comitissa Hiltegardis" for the soul of “filii sui Lodewici comitis”, “ad Dambach” which “mater mea” donated for the soul of “patris mei”, “ad Monstrol” which “dominus noster Hugo” donated, by undated charter which states that “domnus Hugo attavus meus” built the monastery[58]. Viellard dates this charter to [1090][59]. Grosdidier de Matons reports a claim that Mathilde married secondly "Valéran Redon de la maison de Crépy-en-Valois"[60], which is based on a spurious document allegedly dated 20 Aug 1118 in which "Renauldz quenz de Bar et de Monceonz" confirmed an agreement whereby "ma ante madame Mahauz monsigneor Walranz Redon sun mari" received Fontenoy and Nanteuil-le-Haudoin under his wife's inheritance[61]. He highlights the apparent confusion with Clémence, great niece of Mathilde and daughter of Renaud I, who married Thiébaut de Crépy Seigneur de Nanteuil-le-Haudoin and speculates that the document in question was a 17th century copy of a spurious act which was fabricated in 1313 by Renaud de Bar Bishop of Metz to prove a property claim against the king of France[62]. m HUGO [X] Graf von Dagsburg, son of HEINRICH [I] Graf von Egisheim und Dagsburg & his wife --- (-murdered Strasbourg 5 Sep 1089). 6. SOPHIE (-before 8 Mar 1105). "Filia Wilelmi comitis de Burgundia Hermentrudis…" founded the Cluniac abbey of Froidefontaine by charter dated 8 Mar 1105 in which she names "suis antecessoribus…Lodewico, Sophia eius uxore, et filiis eorum Brunone, Theoderico, Lodewico, Friderico, filiabus vero Mathilde, Sophia, Beatrice…"[63]. Her marriage is recorded in Europäische Stammtafeln[64] but the primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified. m VOLMAR [I] Graf [von Frohburg], son of ---. 1050/76. 7. BEATRIX (-26 Oct 1092, bur Toul Cathedral). "Filia Wilelmi comitis de Burgundia Hermentrudis…" founded the Cluniac abbey of Froidefontaine by charter dated 8 Mar 1105 in which she names "suis antecessoribus…Lodewico, Sophia eius uxore, et filiis eorum Brunone, Theoderico, Lodewico, Friderico, filiabus vero Mathilde, Sophia, Beatrice…"[65]. The Chronicon of Bernold records the death "1092 VII Kal Nov…in civitate Leucorum" of "Beatrix soror Friderici marchionis et uxor quondam Berthaldi ducis" and her burial by the bishop of the same place[66]. No children. m ([1056]) as his second wife, BERTHOLD von Zähringen Graf im Breisgau, son of BEZZELIN von Villingen & his wife [Luitgard] --- (-Limburg 5/6 Nov 1078, bur Hirsau). He was appointed BERCHTOLD I "the Bearded" Duke of Carinthia in 1061, deposed 1077. Marchese di Verona 1066. He was one of the principal adversaries of Emperor Heinrich IV in the investiture dispute[67].
The following person may have been related to Pierre Graf von Lützelburg (see above), but if that is correct the precise relationship has not yet been determined. The reference “de familia” in the charter quoted below may indicate that Hartmann was a member of the count’s household, not a relative. 1. HARTMANN . A charter dated 1208 recalls a donation of property by “clericus Hartmannus…de familia fuisset comitis Petri de Falckenstein”, made during the reign of “Lotharii regis”, and refers to a subsequent dispute concerning the property “ad tempora Reinaldi comitis, filii…comitis Petri…matris sue commitisse Yde”[68].
THIERRY de Mousson, son of LOUIS Comte de Mousson & his wife Sophie of Upper Lotharingia ([1045]-1/2 Jan 1103, bur Autun Cathedral). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Theodericum" as son of "comiti Montionis Ludovico" and his wife Sophie[69]. "Filia Wilelmi comitis de Burgundia Hermentrudis…" founded the Cluniac abbey of Froidefontaine by charter dated 8 Mar 1105 in which she names "suis antecessoribus…Lodewico, Sophia eius uxore, et filiis eorum Brunone, Theoderico, Lodewico, Friderico, filiabus vero Mathilde, Sophia, Beatrice…"[70]. On his marriage, he entered into possession of the château and seigneurie de Montbéliard[71]. He succeeded his father in [1071/76] in his territories of Altkirch, Ferrette, and around Hagenau. He was present at the 1076 enfranchisement of the chapel in the castle of Amance[72]. He inherited the region of the future county of Bar from his mother in 1093. He had taken a vow to join the First Crusade but was released from it due to illness. He was invested as Comte de Verdun after 1096 by Richer Bishop of Verdun[73]. He dictated his testament in 1102 at the castle of Altkirch[74]. The Obituaire de Saint-Mansuy-lès-Toul records the death "1 Jan" of "Henricus et Theodoricus comites"[75]. m ([1065]) ERMENTRUDE de Bourgogne heiress of Montbéliard, daughter of GUILLAUME I "le Grand" Comte Palatin de Bourgogne & his wife Etiennette --- ([1050/55]-1106 or after, bur Autun Cathedral). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Ermentrudem" as wife of "Theodericum [filius comiti Montionis Ludovico]" specifying that she was heiress to Montbéliard[76]. "Filia Wilelmi comitis de Burgundia Hermentrudis et filii sui Fridericus, Raginaudus, Theodericus" founded the Cluniac abbey of Froidefontaine by charter dated 8 Mar 1105 in which she names "suis antecessoribus…Lodewico, Sophia eius uxore, et filiis eorum Brunone, Theoderico, Lodewico, Friderico, filiabus vero Mathilde, Sophia, Beatrice, filiis autem Theoderici atque sue uxoris Hermentrudis, Lodewico, Wilelmo, Hugone", witnessed by "Henricus de Suarca cum genero suo Gerunch, Gotefridus filius avunculi eiusdem comitis [Friderici]"[77]. It is assumed from the expression "suis antecessoribus" that all those so described were deceased at the date of the foundation. She subscribed her son Renaud's act of sale of the fortress of Commercy to the abbé de Saint-Mihiel in 1106[78]. Comte Thierry & his wife had ten children: 1. FREDERIC de Mousson ([1074/78]-19 Jul [1160], bur Oelenberg). "Filia Wilelmi comitis de Burgundia Hermentrudis et filii sui Fridericus, Raginaudus, Theodericus" founded the Cluniac abbey of Froidefontaine by charter dated 8 Mar 1105 in which she names "suis antecessoribus…filiis autem Theoderici atque sue uxoris Hermentrudis, Lodewico, Wilelmo, Hugone"[79].

He succeeded his father in 1103 in his territories of Altkirch and Ferrette. "Fridericus filius comitis Theoderici de Montebiligardis" donated "Altichilchensis ecclesie…consecrato in honore sancti Cristofori martyris" to Cluny by charter dated 3 Jul 1105 "laudante matre mea Hermentrude"[81]. 2. RENAUD de Mousson ([1075/77]-1149). "Filia Wilelmi comitis de Burgundia Hermentrudis et filii sui Fridericus, Raginaudus, Theodericus" founded the Cluniac abbey of Froidefontaine by charter dated 8 Mar 1105 in which she names "suis antecessoribus…filiis autem Theoderici atque sue uxoris Hermentrudis, Lodewico, Wilelmo, Hugone"[82]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Raynaldum comitem filium Theoderici Barrensis"[83]. Comte de Bar et de Mousson. - see below, Chapter 2. COMTES de BAR. 3. THIERRY de Mousson ([1076/78]-[mid-Jan] 1163). "Filia Wilelmi comitis de Burgundia Hermentrudis et filii sui Fridericus, Raginaudus, Theodericus" founded the Cluniac abbey of Froidefontaine by charter dated 8 Mar 1105 in which she names "suis antecessoribus…filiis autem Theoderici atque sue uxoris Hermentrudis, Lodewico, Wilelmo, Hugone"[84].

LOUIS de Mousson ([1077/79]-murdered 1102). "Filia Wilelmi comitis de Burgundia Hermentrudis et filii sui Fridericus, Raginaudus, Theodericus" founded the Cluniac abbey of Froidefontaine by charter dated 8 Mar 1105 in which she names "suis antecessoribus…filiis autem Theoderici atque sue uxoris Hermentrudis, Lodewico, Wilelmo, Hugone"[86]. It seems unlikely that Louis de Mousson could have been born much later than [1077/79] bearing in mind his active participation in the First Crusade. Albert of Aix names "…Luodewicus de Monzunz…filius comitis Tirrici de Muntbiliarht…" among those who took part in the siege of Nikaia, dated to mid-1097 from the context[87]. William of Tyre names "Ludovicus de Moncons" among those present at the capture of Antioch in 1098[88]. Albert of Aix records that "comes de Oringis Reinboldus, Ludowicus de Monzuns, Lambertus filius Cononis de Monte Acuto" commanded one of the corps of men at the capture of Antioch in Jun 1098[89]. He returned to Altkirch before 1102, when he was killed by some of his own servants[90]. The Annales Einsidlenses record the death in 1102 of "Ludovicus comes de Montplicart" killed by his servants[91]. He was referred to as one of her deceased children in the 8 Mar 1105 document of his mother. 5. ETIENNE de Mousson (-Metz 29 Dec 1162, bur Metz Cathedral). The Gesta Alberonis Archiepiscopi names "episcopum Stephanum, fratrem Rainaldi comes de Monzon"[92]. Destined for the church from an early age, he was brought up by his maternal uncle Guy Archbishop of Vienne, later Pope Calixtus II[93]. The Consecratio Ecclesiæ Senonensis names "Stephani pater comes Theodericus et avunculus domnus Guido Viennensis archiepiscopus, post urbis Romæ papa" in relation to the consecration of Sens in 1124[94]. Archdeacon of Toul. Bishop of Metz 1120. The Gesta Episcoporum Mettensium (Continuatio) records the succession in 1120 of “tam Burgundionem quam Lothoringorum...genere...domnus Stephanus...Calixti [papæ] ex sorore nepos”, and adds that he granted territory to “fratris sui comitis Barrensis aliorumque cognatorum et amicorum suorum” specifying “castrum Terli...castrumque ducis apud Vicum et munitionem inter Vicum et Marsallum in loco palustri sitam simulque castrum comitis de Hoemberc...castrum...Ramberti-villare...castrumque nobile Lucelnburch...castrum Viviers et partem ducis de Lemburc in castro Rucei...castrum...Mirabel et Falconis-montem...Danubrii et Asperi-montis...apud Spinal turrim...Moronis...castrum...Petro-pertusata...castrum Deulewart...turrim apud Tihecurt...et castrum...Walteri-montis”[95]. Etienne Bishop of Metz declared that “frater meus Teodericus comes de Montbiliart” recognised the incorrectness of his claims relating to Gorze Abbey by charter dated to [1138/63], which names “cognati nostri Theoderic, Mettensis primicerii”[96]. Etienne Bishop of Metz donated “prædium in feodo Commarciensi...Bernaicuria...sylvam etiam Commarciensem...Foreid” to Riéval “per manum comitis Rainaldi præfati Commarciensis feodi possessoris...collaudante filiisque eius Hugone et Rainaldo” by undated charter, witnessed by “Gerardo castellano...”[97]. Etienne Bishop of Metz donated “molendinum in Commarciensi” to Riéval abbey “comite...Renaldo et ab utroque eius filio Ugone et Renaldo, a dominoque Stephano Metensi episcopo” by charter dated 9 Mar 1141 (O.S.?)[98]. He accompanied his brother Renaud on the Second Crusade in 1147[99].

Chapter 2. COMTES de BAR
A. COMTES de BAR
RENAUD, son of THIERRY de Mousson & his wife Ermentrude de Bourgogne [Comté] ([1075/77]-on ship in the Mediterranean 25 Feb or 10 Mar 1149). "Filia Wilelmi comitis de Burgundia Hermentrudis et filii sui Fridericus, Raginaudus, Theodericus" founded the Cluniac abbey of Froidefontaine by charter dated 8 Mar 1105 in which she names "suis antecessoribus…filiis autem Theoderici atque sue uxoris Hermentrudis, Lodewico, Wilelmo, Hugone"[112]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Raynaldum comitem filium Theoderici Barrensis"[113]. Comte de Bar et de Mousson. Seigneur de Commercy: as "comte Renaud", he sold the fortress of Commercy to the abbé de Saint-Mihiel in 1106[114]. During the dispute between Pope Pascal II and Heinrich V King of Germany concerning the election of Richard de Grandpré as Bishop of Verdun, comte Renaud arrested the Pope's representative and imprisoned him in the château de Grandpré. The Bishop-elect confiscated the avouerie of Dieulouard from Renaud and gave it to Guillaume Comte de Luxembourg, in addition investing the latter with the counties of Stenay and Mouzay. The resulting war lasted from 1111 to 1114, ending with the storming of the château de Bar in Jun 1114 and the Emperor's capture of comte Renaud, who was released in return for a promise of homage. Comte Renaud reached a compromise with Guillaume de Luxembourg, which included the cession of Stenay and Mouzay. Comte Renaud also acquired the county of Verdun, although the citizens of the town wounded him while resisting his occupation[115]. Emperor Heinrich V confiscated Verdun in 1120, in revenge for Renaud's military assistance for the installation of Henri de Blois as Bishop of Verdun, and awarded the county to Henri Comte de Grandpré. Comte Renaud finally made peace at Chalade in 1124 and regained possession of Verdun[116]. "Comes Rainaldus" restored property at Maidières to Liège Saint-Lambert on the advice of "fratris nostri Stephani Metensi episcopi" by charter dated 1128, subscribed by "comes Paganus, comes Folmarus, Hugonellus heres et filius meus"[117]. He claimed the fortress of Bouillon from the Bishop of Liège, as successor to Godefroi de Bouillon [Boulogne] Duke of Lower Lotharingia, to whom he was distantly related through his paternal grandmother, and captured the castle in 1134. Etienne Bishop of Metz donated “prædium in feodo Commarciensi...Bernaicuria...sylvam etiam Commarciensem...Foreid” to Riéval “per manum comitis Rainaldi præfati Commarciensis feodi possessoris...collaudante filiisque eius Hugone et Rainaldo” by undated charter, witnessed by “Gerardo castellano...”[118]. The dispute over Bouillon continued, and the bishop besieged the castle in 1141, the death of his oldest son finally persuading Renaud to relinquish possession 22 Sep 1141[119]. Henri Bishop of Toul confirmed the donation of property “molendinum in Commarciensi” made by “comite...Renaldo et ab utroque eius filio Ugone et Renaldo, a dominoque Stephano Metensi episcopo” by charter dated 9 Mar 1141 (O.S.?)[120]. “Raynaudus...comes Muntiensis” confirmed the donation made by “Bernacrius vir militaris de castro Montiensi” to the church of Saint-Thiébaut-lez-Saint-Mihiel by charter dated 1145[121]. Comte Renaud took part in the Second Crusade in 1147, but died during the return sea voyage[122]. The necrology of Verdun Saint-Vanne records the death "V Kal Mar" of "Raynardus comes Barensis"[123]. [Note: uncorroborated first marriage. According to Poull[124], Comte Renaud married twice. The author states that this first wife gave birth to a child during the siege of Mousson castle by imperial troops in 1113. He cites Laurent de Liège, although this source makes no mention of any birth in his detailed description of the siege of the castle[125]. No other indication has been found of this alleged first marriage or the birth of a son in 1113. Poull dates the alleged first marriage to [1110], although he does not explain the basis for his argument.] m (before [1120]) GISELE de Vaudémont, widow of RAINARD [III] Comte de Toul, daughter of GERARD [I] Comte de Vaudémont & his [second] wife Heilwig von Egisheim ([before 1095?]-26 Dec after 1141, bur Saint-Mihiel). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "comitem Wanderii Montis Hugonem et sororem eius Gislam" as children of "Gerardum…primus comes Wanderi Montis" & his [second] wife, specifying that Gisela was "comitissa Barri"[126]. The chronology of the lives of her children by her first marriage suggests that Gisèle was probably born before [1095]. Her first marriage is deduced from the same source which records that "comes Raynaldus Barri" became the stepfather ("vitricus") of "comitis Frederici Tullensis et fratrum suorum Theoderici et Wedrici" although without naming his wife[127]. It should be noted that these two texts do not establish beyond doubt that the widow of Rainard Comte de Toul was also the daughter of Gérard Comte de Vaudémont. It is therefore not impossible that Comte Renaud married twice, firstly to Gisèle daughter of Comte Gérard, and secondly to the unnamed widow of Comte Rainard. However, no indication has yet been found in the primary sources to indicate that this is correct. Comte Renaud & his wife had [eight] children: 1. HUGUES de Bar (-Château de Bouillon 29 Sep 1141, bur Saint-Mihiel). Laurent de Liège records that "Raynaldi" captured "tribus castellis" in 1134 of which "filius eius Hugo" held "Eventronis-villam" (Watronville)[128]. Etienne Bishop of Metz donated “prædium in feodo Commarciensi...Bernaicuria...sylvam etiam Commarciensem...Foreid” to Riéval “per manum comitis Rainaldi præfati Commarciensis feodi possessoris...collaudante filiisque eius Hugone et Rainaldo” by undated charter, witnessed by “Gerardo castellano...”[129]. Reiner's Triumphale records a siege "XVI Kal Sep" in 1141 in which "duo filii Rainaldi, Ugo…natu maior, et Rainaldus iunior" fought[130]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the death of "unos de duobus filiis [=comes Barrensis Raynaldus] Hugo" who was "in castro, in insaniam versus"[131]. Henri Bishop of Toul confirmed the donation of property “molendinum in Commarciensi” made by “comite...Renaldo et ab utroque eius filio Ugone et Renaldo, a dominoque Stephano Metensi episcopo” by charter dated 9 Mar 1141 (O.S.?)[132]. If this charter is correctly dated, the confirmation was made after the death of Hugues. 2. RENAUD de Bar (-25 Nov 1170, bur Saint-Mihiel). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "alter filius[=comitis Barrensis Raynaldi] Raynaldus minor"[133]. Etienne Bishop of Metz donated “prædium in feodo Commarciensi...Bernaicuria...sylvam etiam Commarciensem...Foreid” to Riéval “per manum comitis Rainaldi præfati Commarciensis feodi possessoris...collaudante filiisque eius Hugone et Rainaldo” by undated charter, witnessed by “Gerardo castellano...”[134]. Henri Bishop of Toul confirmed the donation of property “molendinum in Commarciensi” made by “comite...Renaldo et ab utroque eius filio Ugone et Renaldo, a dominoque Stephano Metensi episcopo” by charter dated 9 Mar 1141 (O.S.?)[135]. He succeeded his father in 1149 as Comte de Bar. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the death "1170…in festo sancti Laurentii" of "comes Barri iunior Raynaldus"[136]. In a later passage the same source records that he was buried "in abbatia sancti Michaelis"[137]. The necrology of Saint-Père-en-Vallée records the death "VII Kal Aug" of "Rainaldus comes Barrensis pater Rainaldi Carnotensis episcopi"[138]. m (1155) AGNES de Blois, daughter of THIBAUT IV Comte de Blois et de Troyes & his wife Mathilde von Sponheim [Carinthia] (-7 Aug 1207, bur Trois-Fontaines). The Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi refers to the wife of "Rainaldus frater Theoderici electi Metensis" as "filia comitis Campanie…soror regine Francie"[139]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Agnes Barri Ducis comitissa" as second of the six daughters of "comes Campanie Theobaldus", and in a later passage names "comitissa Agnes" as wife of "comitis Raynaldi"[140]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines also records that "Agnes [mater comitis Barri Theobaldi]" was buried "in abbatia Trium Fontium"[141]. Dame de Ligny-en-Barrois. “Henricus comes Barrensis” donated commission on sales of wine at Bar to Saint-Mihiel, with the consent of “Agnetis matris mee, Teobaldi fratris mei, Friderici de Bides”, by charter dated to [1172/89][142]. A list of foundations at Troyes records the memory "11 Aug" of "Agnes de Bar fille du comte Thibaut"[143]. The necrology of Chartres cathedral records the death "VII Id Aug" of "Agnes comitissa Montionis"[144]. The necrology of Verdun Saint-Vanne records the death "VII Id Aug" of "Agnes comitissa Barensis"[145]. Comte Renaud & his wife had four children: a) JACQUES [Henri] de Bar (1158-killed in battle Acre 14 or 19 Oct 1190). The Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi names "Theobaldus comes de Monceons…Henricum comitem de Bar et Rainaldum episcopum Carnotensem" as children of "Rainaldus frater Theoderici electi Metensis" & his wife[146]. He succeeded his father in 1174 as HENRI I Comte de Bar. “Henricus comes Barrensis” donated commission on sales of wine at Bar to Saint-Mihiel, with the consent of “Agnetis matris mee, Teobaldi fratris mei, Friderici de Bides”, by charter dated to [1172/89][147]. The necrology of Verdun Saint-Vanne records the death "XIV Kal Nov" of "Heinricus comes Barensis et Ugo frater eius"[148]. A letter dated 21 Oct 1190, recording the arrival of the archbishop of Canterbury at Tyre, names “...comes Barensis, nepos eiusdem...” among those who had died [in Palestine][149]. The identity of the “nepos” of Henri I Comte de Bar has not been ascertained. Presumably the word much be used in an extended family sense as any nephew of the deceased count would presumably have been too young to have been fighting on crusade. b) JEAN [Thibaut] de Bar ([1160]-12/13 Feb 1214, bur Saint-Mihiel). The Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi names "Theobaldus comes de Monceons…Henricum comitem de Bar et Rainaldum episcopum Carnotensem" as children of "Rainaldus frater Theoderici electi Metensis" & his wife[150]. He succeeded his brother in 1190 as THIBAUT I Comte de Bar. - see below. c) RENAUD de Bar (-9 Dec 1217). The Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi names "Theobaldus comes de Monceons…Henricum comitem de Bar et Rainaldum episcopum Carnotensem" as children of "Rainaldus frater Theoderici electi Metensis" & his wife[151]. Thesaurarius at Saint-Martin de Tours. Provost at Chartres Cathedral 1181. Bishop of Chartres 1183. "Raginaldus...Carnotensis episcopus" confirmed the creation of "quatuor prepositurarum" at Chartres Notre-Dame with “avunculus noster Willelmus tunc Senonensis nunc Remensis archiepiscopus” by charter dated Oct 1193[152]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the death in 1217 of “episcopi Robertus Virdunensis, Philippus Belvacensis, Renaldus Carnotensis”[153]. The necrology of Chartres records the death "V Id Dec" of "Raginaldus huius sanctæ sedis reverendus antistes…comitis Montionis filius"[154]. The necrology of Saint-André de Chartres records the death “VIII Id Dec“ of "Raginaldus ecclesie Carnotensis...episcopus” and his donation[155]. d) HUGUES de Bar (-25 Jul 1192). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names (in order) "comes Henricus et comes Theobaldus et quidam Hugo et episcopus Carnotensis Reynaldus" as the four sons of "comes Barri iunior Raynaldus" & his wife[156]. Canon and provost at Chartres Cathedral 1192. The necrology of Saint-Père-en-Vallée records the death "IV Kal Aug" of "Ugo prepositus B. Marie, frater Rainaldi episcopi Carnotensis"[157]. The necrology of Verdun Saint-Vanne records the death "XIV Kal Nov" of "Heinricus comes Barensis et Ugo frater eius"[158]. 3. [DROGO de Bar . Pope Alexander III confirmed donations made to Riéval abbey, including the donation of “usuarium...nemus...Forest” made by “Rainaldus comes Barri” with the consent of “Stephani Metensis episcopi et filiorum suorum Rainaldi et Drogonis”, by charter dated 1179[159]. This is the only charter in this series which names “Drogo” as son of Renaud [I] Comte de Bar. It is not known whether this represents an error for one of his other known sons.] 4. THIERRY de Bar (-8 Aug 1171, bur Metz Cathedral). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "episcopi Theodorici et comitis Reynaldi" as sons of "Renaldum Strabum comitem de Barro Ducis"[160]. Archdeacon at Metz, primicerius. Etienne Bishop of Metz declared that “frater meus Teodericus comes de Montbiliart” recognised the incorrectness of his claims relating to Gorze Abbey by charter dated to [1138/63], which names “cognati nostri Theoderic, Mettensis primicerii”[161]. Archdeacon at Verdun 1156. Bishop of Metz 1163. The Gesta Episcoporum Mettensium (Continuatio) records the succession in 1164 of “dominus Theodericus fratris sui [referring to “Stephanus”] comitis Barrensis filius”, his acquisition of “Werinesperc et Radonis-villam. Castrum Conflans”, and his death “III Id Aug”[162]. 5. AGNES de Bar (-after 1185). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Agenete sorore eiusdem comitis [=comes Barri iunior Raymaldus" specifying that she was mother of "episcopus Vidunensis Arnulfus de Cisneio"[163]. "Anetis comitissa de Chinei" donated part of the forest of Blanchampagne to the church of Moulins, for the soul of "domini Alberti comitis", by charter dated to [1185] which names "filios meos heredes, maxime Ludovicum et Teodericum"[164]. m ([1140]) ALBERT Comte de Chiny, son of OTTO [II] Comte de Chiny & his wife Alix de Namur (-29 Sep 1162). 6. CLEMENCE de Bar ([1123/27]]-after 20 Jan 1183). The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis records that "comes Rainaldus [de Claromonte]" married "comitissam de Dammartin, filiam comitis Rainaldi de Monzuns"[165]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to "comites de Claromonte Belvacensi" as descended from "una…sorore eiusdem comitis [=comes Barri iunior Raynaldus]"[166]. Her birth date range is estimated based on the date of her parents' marriage. Renaud’s second wife would presumably have held the title “Ctss de Dammartin” through an earlier marriage to a comte de Dammartin. If she had been the daughter of a comte de Dammartin, she would not have borne the comital title. [“Radulfus Oysardi filius” donated property at Creil to Saint-Leu d’Esserent, and the nuns obtained the consent of "comitem Rainaldum Claromontensem…uxor eius Clementia, filia…ipsius Margarita", by charter dated to [1119][167]. The dating of this document is problematic: while the presence of Marguerite suggests that she was still unmarried, the date is inconsistent with the estimated birth date of Clémence. It should be noted that Mathon dates the consent given by Comte Renaud to [1153], although he does not state why he says this[168]. If that dating is correct, the witness would have been Renaud’s daughter Marguerite by his second marriage, although it is unclear why she would have been singled out for giving consent without her brothers and sisters.] Louis VII King of France confirmed what “episcopus Parisiensis et Guillelmus Lupus frater eius et comes Damni-Martini Renaudus cum uxore sua” donated to Chaalis “per concessum Adelizæ de Bulis et filiorum eius Lancelini...et fratrum suorum” and the donation of land “apud Hermenovillam et...moriens juxta Villam-novam” made by “Joscelinus de Damno-Martino”, by charter dated 1138[169]. The property the subject of the first-named donation is not specified in the charter. However, a possibly linked charter dated to [1137] records that “Willelmus Lupus Silvanectensis” donated “locum...in quo situm est cœnobium...[et] usum totius Espioniæ et Beeley”, with the support of “uxore mea Adelvia, filioque meo majore...Guidone” and sealed by “fratris mei Stephani Parisiensis episc.”[170]. The charter dated 1138 also provides a possible indication of Clémence’s family origin: the joint donation suggests a joint interest in the property donated, and so a connection with the family of the bouteillers de Senlis (to which Guillaume “le Loup” and his brother Etienne Bishop of Paris belonged). A charter dated 1144 confirmed a donation by "Rainaldus Claromontensis comes" to Saint-Leu d’Esserent, with the consent of "Clementia uxor prædicti comitis cum filio suo Guidone"[171]. An undated charter records the grant of pasturage rights "ad castrum Claromontis, Credulii, Gornaci, Lusarchiarum" to Saint-Leu d’Esserant by "Hugo comes Cestrensis" and "Hugo Claromontensis et Margarita uxor eius", later confirmed by "Rainaldus comes" with the consent of "uxore eius Clementia et filiis eius Guidone et Rainaldo"[172]. "Rainaldus comes de Claromonte et Clemencia uxor eius et Widdo eorum filius" confirmed donations to Saint-Leu d’Esserant made by "Albericus…Paganus…comites de Donno Martino…pater suus Hugo de Claromonte et Margarita uxor eius et comites Cestrences Hugo et Richardus", on the advice of "uxoris meæ Adæ", by charter dated 1152[173]. Louvet notes a donation to the priory of Gournay-sur-Aronde made by “Rainal Comte de Clermont et Clemence sa femme” which was confirmed and supplemented in 1165 by “leurs enfans...Raoult Comte de Clermont, Simon, Gautier, Margueritte, Matilde et Comtesse”[174]. Louis VII King of France confirmed an agreement between Eudes Prior of Saint-Denis and "Donni Martini comitissam Clementiam" who relinquished rights “in Trenbleio” by charter dated 1153[175]. Mathieu quotes a charter of Manassès Bishop of Meaux, dated to [1157], which records property first donated to Chaalis by “Domnimartini comitissa Clementia, laudante viro suo Renaldo de Clarimonte” as well as her donation of rights of way and use of wood “in omnia terra” belonging to “consulatum Domnimartini”[176]. “Clementia comitissa de Domno Martino cum liberis meis” renounced rights over “villa Trembliaco” after disputes between the abbey of Saint-Denis and “antecessores nostros comites de Dompno Martino”, litigated before “regis Ludovici”, by undated charter (dated to [1153/62]), witnessed by “Ansoldus de Claromonte et Petrus nepos eius, Galterus de Alneto...”[177]. [Duchesne states that Thibaut [III] de Nanteuil married “Clemence veuve de Renaut Comte de Clairmont en Beauvoisin” by whom he had three children, but does not cite the corresponding primary source[178]. The primary source which confirms this third marriage has not yet been identified, and from a chronological point of view it appears unlikely to be correct particularly as she is supposed to have had children by her third husband.] m firstly --- Comte de Dammartin, son of ---. m secondly ([1135]) as his second wife, RENAUD Comte de Clermont [en-Beauvaisis], son of HUGUES de Clermont [en-Beauvaisis] dit de Mouchy & his wife Marguerite de Montdidier (-[1152/53]).

The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to "comites qui dicuntur Silvestres in Allemanni" as descended from "tertia [sorore eiusdem comitis =comes Barri iunior Raynaldus]"[179]. The primary source which confirms her name and more precisely identifies her husband has not yet been identified. The likely date of birth of her mother suggests that Mathilde was not born much later than [1130/35]. m KONRAD Wildgraf und Graf von Kyrburg, son of EMICH [I] Wildgraf und Graf von Kyrburg & his wife ---. 1128/1170. 8. STEPHANIE de Bar (-12 Mar [1170/78]). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to "quarta [sorore eiusdem comitis =comes Barri iunior Raynaldus]" as mother of "Symon de Commarceio et due sorores illius"[180]. Dame de Commercy: “Etiennette fille de Renaud I de Bar” is named “seigneur de Commercy” in the charter dated 1140 for Riéval[181].

She is named in a charter dated 1170 which records the donation of “un jardin près d’Aulnoy” to Rangéval[184]. Pope Alexander III confirmed donations made to Riéval abbey, including the donation of “locum de Bellomonte qui antiquitus...Rampans...cum pasturis...terræ castello de Commarceio” made by “domini de Commarceio Stephania...assensu Simonis filii sui et filiarum suarum et Stephanus junior de Sorceio et Savaricus de Belleramo assensu Theoderici Metensis episcopi et Petri Tullensis episcopi”, by charter dated 1179[185]. m (before 22 Oct 1144) as his first wife, HUGUES [III] Seigneur de Broyes et de Châteauvillain, son of SIMON [I] Seigneur de Broyes & his wife Félicité de Brienne (-1199, bur Clairvaux).

Seigneur de Briey, Stenay et de Longwy. He succeeded his brother in 1190 as THIBAUT I Comte de Bar. After his third marriage, he bought Luxembourg, Durbuy and Laroche with the approval of Philipp King of Germany, before besieging Philippe Marquis de Namur in his castle at Namur and forcing the 1199 Treaty of Dinant under which the disputed territories of Luxembourg, Durbuy and Laroche were confirmed to his wife[188]. Comte Thibaut was excommunicated after pillaging property of the bishop of Metz, and joined the Albigensian crusade of Simon de Montfort in southern France as a means of avoiding the penance of a pilgrimage to Palestine[189]. "Th. comes Barr et Luc" bequeathed his property to "uxori mee Ermens…filio meo Renaudo…filio meo Henrico…filie mee Elizabet", before leaving on crusade against the Albigeois, by charter dated 3 Apr 1211[190]. "Th. comes Barr et Luc" modified his earlier testament, after the death of "filius meus Renaudus et filiarum mearum altera", by charter dated Feb 1214[191]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the death in 1214 of "comes Barri Theobaldus" and his burial next to his father "in abbatia sancti Michaelis"[192].

The Chronicon Hanoniense records the betrothal in 1187 of "Ermensendis" and "comiti Campanensi Henrico"[200]. Her first betrothal was arranged by Comte Henri in order to guarantee a suitably strong protector for his daughter in light of his dispute with Baudouin V Comte de Hainaut regarding the eventual succession to his counties but the arrangement was discontinued after the 1190 imperial decision in favour of Comte Baudouin[201]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines in 1193 records the marriage of "Theobaldus comes Barrensis" and "filiam Henrici comitis ceci…Ermensendem"[202]. Her husband bought the counties of Luxembourg, Durbuy and Laroche, with the approval of Philipp King of Germany, and besieged Philippe Marquis de Namur in his castle at Namur, which forced the negotiation of the 1199 treaty of Dinant[203]. Under the treaty, signed 26 Jul 1199, Baudouin IX Count of Flanders and Hainaut inherited Namur, while Ermesinde retained Luxembourg, Durbuy, Laroche and that part of Namur which lay on the right bank of the river Meuse[204]. "Th. comes Barr et Luc" bequeathed his property to "uxori mee Ermens…filio meo Renaudo…filio meo Henrico…filie mee Elizabet", before leaving on crusade against the Albigeois, by charter dated 3 Apr 1211[205].

He took part in the Crusade of 1239, led by Thibaut de Champagne King of Navarre, and landed at Acre 1 Sep 1239. He marched south to attack the Egyptian outposts of Ascalon and Gaza, where they were defeated and Comte Henri was killed[213]. William of Tyre (Continuator) names "Henris le cuens de Bar-le-Duc" among those who took part in the crusade from France which landed at Acre in 1239 and in a later passage records that he was killed[214]. m (contract 6 Nov 1219, [21/27] Dec 1219) PHILIPPA de Dreux, daughter of ROBERT [II] Comte de Dreux [Capet] & his second wife Yolande de Coucy ([1192]-17 Mar 1242). Dame de Torcy-en-Brie, de Quincy et de Longueville-en-Tardenois. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the marriage in 1219 of "comes Barri Henricus" and "filiam comitis Roberti de Brana…Philippam", a more precise date being deduced from the same source specifying that her father died during the same week as the marriage[215]. "Henricus comes Barrensis" donated property to the abbey of Sainte-Hoïlde, for the soul of "uxoris mee Philippe", by charter dated Apr 1239[216].

The late 13th century genealogy by Balduinus de Avennis records that "dominam de Albo-monte, germanam comitis Barrensis Theobaldi, relictam domini Henrici de Salmis [error]" married "Ludovicus [comes] de Chini"[226]. "Lois fis le comte de Los et de Chinei, sires d´Estables et…Jehenne sa femme dame de Blanmont" confirmed the donations to the abbey of Orval made by "Arnous cuens de Los et de Chinei notre pere et Jehenne sa femme comtesse…notre mere" by charter dated Feb 1258[227].

She is not named by Poull[237]. Europäische Stammtafeln appears to be mistaken about her parentage, if it is correct that she was installed as abbess of Clairfontaine in 1257, which would be consistent with her being the daughter of Henri II Comte de Bar[238].] 3. AGNES de Bar (-before 1225). A marriage contract between "Galcherus de Castellione comes S. Pauli...filius meus Hugo" and “sorore...comitis Barriducis” is dated Aug 1216[239].

[MARGUERITE ([1207/14]-before Jul 1270). The primary source which confirms her parentage has not been identified. Grosdidier de Matons does not name her among the children of Thibaut [I][254]. Marguerite is not named in her supposed father’s testaments, but this omission could be explained if she was born posthumously. Until further information emerges, it is prudent to show her possible affiliation in square brackets. Frau von Bettingen an der Prüm. Her first marriage is indicated and her second marriage confirmed by the following document: Marguerite was named “comitisse de Wademont uxoris domini Henrici de Bosco militis” in a charter dated 14 Jul 1255[255]. m firstly HUGUES [III] Comte de Vaudémont, son of HUGUES [II] Comte de Vaudémont & his wife Hadwide de Reynel (-20 Apr or 4 May 1243). m secondly (before Feb 1245) HENRI de Dampierre [en-Astenois] Seigneur du Bois, son of HENRI de Dampierre [en-Astenois] Seigneur de Ponthion et du Bois & his wife Cécile de Clermont (-[Apr/May] 1259).]
THIBAUT de Bar, son of HENRI II Comte de Bar & his wife Philippa de Dreux [Capet] dame de Torcy-en-Brie ([1221]-Oct 1291). "Philippe contesse de Bar et Thiebaus mon fils" confirmed a donation property to the abbey of Sainte-Hoïlde by charter dated 23 Jan 1242[256]. He succeeded his father in 1240 as THIBAUT II Comte de Bar. "Arnoux cuens de Los et de Chisni" acknowledged "Phelippe contesse de Bar…et Thiebaut son fil" as his suzerains in respect of "la terre de Chisni…que je tieng de par ma femme Jehanne la contesse" by charter dated Feb 1240[257]. “Thiebaus cuens de Bar” notified that “Jofroiz mes coisins et mes fiaules sires de Borlenmont” had donated “les arages de Domremi” to Mureau by charter dated 13 Apr 1246[258]. He seized Ligny in 1266 and defeated his brother-in-law Henri V Comte de Luxembourg at Preny near Pont-à-Mousson 6 Sep 1266, although Ligny was restored to Luxembourg after the mediation of Louis IX King of France[259]. The testament of “Thiebaut cuens de Bar”, dated 1282, appoints as executors “Jehenne contesse de Bar ma femme, mon signor Guy de Toucy signor de Baserne, mon signor Thieri d’Amele le chastelains de Bar qui or est...” and names “Henry aineis fils le comte de Bar”[260]. m firstly (betrothed 3 May 1243, [Mar/Jul] 1245) as her second husband, JEANNE de Dampierre, widow of HUGUES [III] Comte de Rethel, daughter of GUILLAUME [II] Seigneur de Dampierre & his wife Marguerite II Ctss of Flanders and Hainaut (-[1245/46], bur Abbaye de Sainte Hoïlde[261]). “Marguerite dame de Dampierre” and “Huon conte de Retest” agreed the marriage of the latter and “damoisiele Jehane ma fille”, with details of the dowry, by charter dated Nov 1239[262]. The Genealogia Comitum Flandriæ refers to the two (unnamed) daughters of Marguerite & "Willelmo de Danpetra", specifying that one married "comiti de Baeren"[263]. The Iohannis de Thilrode Chronicon records that, of the two daughters of "Marghareta" & "Willelmo de Dampetra", one "nupsit Christo, altera comiti de Baeren"[264]. The marriage contract between "Guillaumes sires de Dampierre…madame Jehanne ma…suer" and "Thiebaut conte de Bar" is dated 3 May 1243[265]. A charter dated Jul 1245 records an agreement between "Thibaud comte de Bar" and "Jean comte de Rethel" concerning the dowry of "Jeanne veuve de Hugues comte de Rethel" who had married the former[266]. m secondly JEANNE de Toucy, daughter of JEAN Seigneur de Toucy, de Saint-Fargeau et de Puisaye & his wife Emma de Laval ([1232/40]-[Feb/7 Jul] 1317). Dame de Toucy, de Saint-Fargeau et de Puisaye. No primary source has been found which indicates the date of Jeanne’s marriage. Considering the extended chronology of her numerous children which is noted below, it is likely that Jeanne married several years after the death of her husband’s first wife. “Thiebauz cuens de Bar sires de Thoci et...Johanne sa fame” confirmed the sale of property to the chapter of Auxerre by “Pierre de Vaus escuiers” by charter dated Sep 1282[267]. The testament of “Thiebaut cuens de Bar”, dated 1282, appoints as executors “Jehenne contesse de Bar ma femme, mon signor Guy de Toucy signor de Baserne, mon signor Thieri d’Amele le chastelains de Bar qui or est...” and names “Henry aineis fils le comte de Bar”[268]. "Iehanne de Thoci comtesse de Bar et dame de Pusoye" confirmed the peace agreement between Philippe IV King of France and "nostre...fil Henry cuens de Bar" by charter dated 1301 “le Vendredy apres Pentecoste”[269]. “Iohanne de Thoci comtesse de Bar iadis dame de Puisoie“ granted “la terre de Puisoie” to “Iehans nostre filz sires de Puisoie” by charter dated Feb 1305[270]. “Geoffroy [error for Gobert?] sire d’Aspremont” requested Edouard Comte de Bar for a succession settlement for “Marie de Bar sa femme en la terre de Pusoye”, which was part of the succession of “feüe dame Jne de Toucy sa mère, Ctsse de Bar, Dame de Pusoye et ayeule dudit Cte”, by charter dated Sep 1317[271]. Comte Thibaut II & his second wife had [fifteen] children. The chronology of the lives of these children is surprisingly extended. Considering their mother’s estimated date of birth, it is unlikely that many were born after the early 1280s. If that is correct, all her sons married late, and her son Pierre did not die until the late 1340s, while the dates of the marriage contracts of her daughters range between [1258/59] and 1295. It is also curious that none of these children were given names typical of the Toucy family. 1. PHILIPPA de Bar (-after Jun 1283). A charter dated Mar [1258/59] records the marriage between “Hugues cuens palatins de Bourgoigne et Alix sa fame…de Othenin nostre ainnez fil” and “l´ainnée fille de Thiebaut conte de Bart”[272]. Her marriage date suggests that Philippa was one of her parents’ older children. “Othonino filio eiusdem primogenito” granted “castellum...Saelleres” to “domina Alis Sabaudie Burgundie comitissa palatina” in return for granted him when he married “Philippam filiam...Theobaldi comitis Baronis” by charter dated 6 Apr 1271[273]. “Henris cuens de Bar, Jehans, Thiebaus, Renaus, Erars, damoiselle Alix, damoiselle Marie” notified their consent to “nostre...meire Jehanne de Toucy dame de Pusoye“ arranging affairs, including the escheat of “damoiselle Alix nostre niece fille...Philippe contesse de Borgoingne nostre...seror qui fut”, by charter dated 7 Nov 1291[274]. m (contract Mar [1258/59], [1263]) as his first wife, OTTO de Bourgogne, son of HUGUES de Chalon Comte Palatin de Bourgogne & his wife Alix Ctss Palatine de Bourgogne [Andechs] (before 1248-Melun 17 or 26 Mar 1303, bur Charlieu). He succeeded his mother in 1279 as OTHON IV Comte Palatin de Bourgogne. 2. HENRI de Bar ([1255/60]-Naples Sep 1302). “Henris ainsneis filz le Comte de Bar, suers de meinburnie” agreed to help Ferry III Duke of Lorraine against the bishop of Metz by charter dated 1277[275]. This charter suggests that Henri was born [1255/60], as the precise age at which he would have been emancipated is uncertain. His mother is identified by the Sep 1317 charter cited above. The testament of “Thiebaut cuens de Bar”, dated 1282, appoints as executors “Jehenne contesse de Bar ma femme, mon signor Guy de Toucy signor de Baserne, mon signor Thieri d’Amele le chastelains de Bar qui or est...” and names “Henry aineis fils le comte de Bar”[276]. He succeeded his father in 1291 as HENRI III Comte de Bar. “Henris cuens de Bar, Jehans, Thiebaus, Renaus, Erars, damoiselle Alix, damoiselle Marie” notified their consent to “nostre...meire Jehanne de Toucy dame de Pusoye“ arranging affairs, including the escheat of “damoiselle Alix nostre niece fille...Philippe contesse de Borgoingne nostre...seror qui fut”, by charter dated 7 Nov 1291[277]. “Loys cuens de Chiney et...Johenne contesse de Chiney et dame de Blanmont sa fame” claimed a share in the succession of “Henrit conte de Bair peire à moi Jehenne dessus dite et...à...ma...meire Phelippe contesse de Bair qui fut et en l’escheoite de...Henri et...Renaut de Bair mes freire qui furent“ from “Henrit conte de Bair” by charter dated 7 Jun 1294[278]. He was named Lieutenant General of the Empire by Adolf King of Germany Graf von Nassau in 1295. "Iehanne de Thoci comtesse de Bar et dame de Pusoye" confirmed the peace agreement between Philippe IV King of France and "nostre...fil Henry cuens de Bar" by charter dated 1301 “le Vendredy apres Pentecoste”[279]. m (Bristol 20 Sep 1293) as her second husband, ELEANOR of England, widow of ALFONSO III "el Liberal" King of Aragon, daughter of EDWARD I King of England & his first wife Infanta doña Leonor de Castilla (Windsor Castle before 17 Jun 1269-Ghent 12 Oct 1297, bur Westminster Abbey). The Continuator of Florence of Worcester records the marriage "apud Bristoll vigilia S Matthaæi Apostoli" 20 Sep [1293] of "Alienora regis Angliæ flia primogenita" and "domino Henrico comitis de Baroduc"[280]. The Oude Kronik van Brabant records the marriage in 1294 of "comes de Barri" and "filiam primogenitam Eduardi regis Anglorum"[281]. Poull gives no death date for Eleanor, but says that she returned to England after her husband died and that 8 May 1304 her father started negotiations for her marriage with Robert, son of Othon Comte Palatin de Bourgogne & his wife Mathilde Ctss d'Artois[282]. This seems unlikely as Robert de Bourgogne was born in 1300, so was over 30 years younger than Eleanor. Comte Henri III & his wife had [three] children: a) [ELEONORE de Bar . Bridgeman states that the Heralds employed to draw up the pedigree of King Henry VII recorded Llywelyn´s wife as “the daughter of William de Comte de Barr by Elinor the daughter of King Edward I” but dismisses this possibility[283]. He refers to other sources which propose alternative identities for Llywelyn´s wife (see the document WALES). If Bridgeman is correct, it is unlikely that Eléonore ever existed. m LLYWELYN ap Owen Lord of Iscoed, son of OWEN ap Maredudd & his wife Angharad of Cydewain (-before 3 May 1309).] b) EDOUARD de Bar (1296-Famagusta 11 Nov 1336, bur Famagusta). The Chronicle of Lanercost names "filium…Edwardum et filiam quam Johannes de Warenna comes duxit in uxorem" as the children of "Alianora filia regis" and "Henrico comiti Barienti"[284]. He succeeded his father in 1302 as EDOUARD I Comte de Bar, minor until 1311. m (contract Bar-sur-Aube, Aube 13 Jun 1306, château de Montbard 11 Feb 1310) MARIE de Bourgogne, daughter of ROBERT II Duke of Burgundy & his wife Agnes de France (1298-before 1336, bur Bar, église Saint-Maxe). Edward I King of England wrote to “Agneti ducissæ Burgundiæ” concerning the marriage between “Edwardum filium et hæredem bonæ memoriæ Henrici quondam comitis Barrensis defuncti nepotem nostrum” and “filiam vestram” is dated 8 May 1306[285]. A charter dated 13 Jun 1306 records the marriage between “Hugues dux de Bourgoigne…Marie nostre…suer” and “Eduard de la contée de Barz”[286]. Comte Edouard I & his wife had [three] children: i) HENRI de Bar (-Paris, l'hôtel de Cassel 7 or 24 Dec 1344, bur Bar-le-Duc, église collégiale Saint-Maxe).

The date of her marriage suggests that Eléonore was born from her father’s second marriage, although the primary source which confirms that this is correct has not been identified. The testament of Pierre de Bar, dated 3 Oct 1345, appointed “sa...compaigne dame Alyenore de Poictiers dame de Pierrefort...Huguenin son second fils” as his executors[343].

This document indicates that these three daughters of Guillaume de Vergy were born from the same marriage, specified in the document as his first. If Isabelle’s age when she died is correctly recorded in the 19 Feb 1389 document, and if it is correct that she was no longer living in 1354 as noted below, it is likely that she was born from her father’s first marriage to Isabelle de Choiseul. Lefebvre notes that the accounts of “Jean de Flirey”, which start in 1354, makes no mention of Isabelle[348].

Lefebvre names Etienne “mort dans un âge peu avancé” as the son of Pierre de Bar Seigneur de Pierrefort but he cites no source which confirms this parentage[357].

Her marriage and family origin are indicated by the charter dated 1346 in which Aubert, in connection with property at Jouy-sous-les-Côtes, names his “serouge” Thomas de Corniéville[364]. Her first marriage is confirmed by a charter dated 1 Nov 1356, recorded in a vidimus dated 1437, under which “Henry de Bar” granted revenue to “Willaume de Sampigny écuyer fils d’Isabelle de Cornieville” and which records an earlier donation of land in Aulnois andd Vertuzey made by Pierre de Bar to “signour Aubert de Pierrefort chevalier” on his marriage to “dame Isabelle de Cornieville”[365]. As Aubert was recorded in 1346, the chronology suggests that Isabelle’s son named in this document must have been born from an earlier marriage. Albert & his wife had [one possible child]: i) [JEAN de Pierrefort (-after 1362). Lefebvre notes that “Jehan de Pierrefort écuyer” was named in accounts of “Jean de Flirey” dated 1357 and 1362, suggests that he could have been the son of Aubert de Pierrefort, and notes another record dated 1407 which names “Jean de Pierrefort écuyer” who could have been the same person or the son of the earlier Jean[366].] 11.

The marriage contract between “Gobert d’Aspremont fils aîné de Geoffroy sire d’Aspremont et d’Ysabeau sa femme” and “damoiselle Marie fille de Henri Cte de Bar” is dated Jun 1306[376]. Her marriage date suggests that Marie was one of her parents’ youngest children. “Geoffroy [error for Gobert?] sire d’Aspremont” requested Edouard Comte de Bar for a succession settlement for “Marie de Bar sa femme en la terre de Pusoye”, which was part of the succession of “feüe dame Jne de Toucy sa mère, Ctsse de Bar, Dame de Pusoye et ayeule dudit Cte”, by charter dated Sep 1317[377].

B. CHÂTELAINS de BAR
1. THIERRY d’Ambacourt (-before 24 Jun 1145). Châtelain de Bar. “...Theodoricus castellanus et filius eius Gerardus...” subscribed the charter dated 1127 under which the counts of Bar relinquished rights of investiture at Saint-Mihiel[387]. m HASTICA, daughter of ---. François-Vivès names “Hastica” as sister of Richwin de Commercy, adding that she married “Thierry d’Ambacourt châtelain de Bar” who later claimed to succeed to Commercy[388]. m Thierry & his wife had [three children]: a) GERARD . “...Theodoricus castellanus et filius eius Gerardus...” subscribed the charter dated 1127 under which the counts of Bar relinquished rights of investiture at Saint-Mihiel[389]. Châtelain de Bar. “...Gyrardo castelleno Barrensi...” subscribed the charter dated 8 Jan 1135 (O.S.?) which records an agreement between the abbot of Saint-Mihiel and “Widoni advocato Condatensi” concerning “advocatiæ”[390]. Etienne Bishop of Metz donated “prædium in feodo Commarciensi...Bernaicuria...sylvam etiam Commarciensem...Foreid” to Riéval “per manum comitis Rainaldi præfati Commarciensis feodi possessoris...collaudante filiisque eius Hugone et Rainaldo” by undated charter, witnessed by “Gerardo castellano...”[391]. Henri Bishop of Toul confirmed the donation of “vallem inter duas vias a Fracia usque ad fagetum Commarceii et a Chelma” to Riéval made by “hominibus Rainaldi comitis senioris Barri et filiæ eius Stephaniæ dominæ de Commarceio, ab hominibusque Gerardi castellani Barri et filiorum eius Ricuini cognomento Philippi, Roberti, Hugonis, Theoderici etiam de Sorceio et Mahildis uxoris eius filiique eorum Stephani, Odonisque de Sorceio et Hadevydis uxoris eius” by charter dated 1165[392]. This charter suggests that Gérard held an interest in Commercy, presumably inherited from his mother’s family. In the same document, the bishop confirmed the donation of “usuarium in sylva de Commarceio...Forest” to Riéval made by “Rainaldus comes assentientibus filiis suis Ugone et Rainaldo comite Barri et sorore eorum Stephania..” and their part in the same property made by “Gerardus castellanus Barri et filii eius Robertus, Riquinus, Hugo et Mahildis soror eiusdem castellani et filius eius Stephanus de Sorceio”. m ---. The name of Gérard’s wife is not known. Gérard & his wife had three children: i) RICHWIN [Philippe] . Châtelain de Bar. Henri Bishop of Toul confirmed the donation of “vallem inter duas vias a Fracia usque ad fagetum Commarceii et a Chelma” to Riéval made by “...hominibusque Gerardi castellani Barri et filiorum eius Ricuini cognomento Philippi, Roberti, Hugonis...” by charter dated 1165[393]. Pope Lucius III confirmed donations made to Riéval abbey, including the donation of “...animalium pasturis...terræ domino de Commerceio pertinentis” made by “Stephania comitissa prædicti castri assensu Simonis filii sui et filiarum suarum Sophiæ et Agnetis et Stephani quondam Metensis episcopi [so the original donation dated to before 1162] a quo illum in feudum tenebat, et Stephanus de Sorceio et Savaricus de Belloramo assensu uxoris suæ Mathildis, et Philippus castellanus Barri assensu filiorum suorum Gerardi et Ulrici”, by charter dated 5 Jan 1181 (O.S.?)[394]. m ---. The name of Philippe’s wife is not known. Philippe & his wife had two children: (a) GERARD . Pope Lucius III confirmed donations made to Riéval abbey, including the donation of “...animalium pasturis...terræ domino de Commerceio pertinentis” made by “...Philippus castellanus Barri assensu filiorum suorum Gerardi et Ulrici”, by charter dated 5 Jan 1181 (O.S.?)[395]. (b) ULRIC . Pope Lucius III confirmed donations made to Riéval abbey, including the donation of “...animalium pasturis...terræ domino de Commerceio pertinentis” made by “...Philippus castellanus Barri assensu filiorum suorum Gerardi et Ulrici”, by charter dated 5 Jan 1181 (O.S.?)[396]. ii) ROBERT . Henri Bishop of Toul confirmed the donation of “vallem inter duas vias a Fracia usque ad fagetum Commarceii et a Chelma” to Riéval made by “...hominibusque Gerardi castellani Barri et filiorum eius Ricuini cognomento Philippi, Roberti, Hugonis...” by charter dated 1165[397]. iii) HUGUES . Henri Bishop of Toul confirmed the donation of “vallem inter duas vias a Fracia usque ad fagetum Commarceii et a Chelma” to Riéval made by “...hominibusque Gerardi castellani Barri et filiorum eius Ricuini cognomento Philippi, Roberti, Hugonis...” by charter dated 1165[398]. b) [MATHILDE (-after 1165). Henri Bishop of Toul confirmed the donation of property “Romundicuria” to Riéval made by “Theodericus de Sorceio” with the consent of “uxore eius Mathilde filioque suo Stephano” by charter dated 9 Mar 1141 (O.S.?)[399]. Henri Bishop of Toul confirmed the donation of “vallem inter duas vias a Fracia usque ad fagetum Commarceii et a Chelma” to Riéval made by “...Theoderici etiam de Sorceio et Mahildis uxoris eius filiique eorum Stephani, Odonisque de Sorceio et Hadevydis uxoris eius” by charter dated 1165[400]. As noted above, this charter suggests that Thierry de Sorcy and Eudes de Sorcy held some interest in Commercy, maybe through their respective wives to explain their presence in the document. Mathilde’s interest in Commercy is confirmed by another part of the same charter under which the bishop confirmed the donation of “usuarium in sylva de Commarceio...Forest” to Riéval made by “Rainaldus comes assentientibus filiis suis Ugone et Rainaldo comite Barri et sorore eorum Stephania..” and their part in the same property made by “Gerardus castellanus Barri et filii eius Robertus, Riquinus, Hugo et Mahildis soror eiusdem castellani et filius eius Stephanus de Sorceio”. m THIERRY de Sorcy, son of --- (-after 9 Mar 1142). c) [HAWIDE . Henri Bishop of Toul confirmed the donation of “vallem inter duas vias a Fracia usque ad fagetum Commarceii et a Chelma” to Riéval made by “...Theoderici etiam de Sorceio et Mahildis uxoris eius filiique eorum Stephani, Odonisque de Sorceio et Hadevydis uxoris eius” by charter dated 1165[401]. As noted above, this charter suggests that Thierry de Sorcy and Eudes de Sorcy held some interest in Commercy, maybe through their respective wives to explain their presence in the document. If that is correct, maybe their wives were sisters. That possibility appears to be supported by another confirmation in the same charter which indicates that Mathilde, wife of Thierry de Sorcy, was the sister of Gérard Châtelain de Bar (see above). The same charter dated 1165 also approves the donation of a mill by “Hadevidis domina de Sorceio uxor domini Odonis” with the consent of “filio eius Waltero canonico et archidiacono, Hugone genero eius et uxore eius prædictæ dominæ filia”. m EUDES de Sorcy Seigneur de Sorcy, son of ---.]
1. PHILIPPE (-before Jan 1258). Châtelain de Bar. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Philippe’s wife has not been identified. Vannérus says, in relation to Isabelle (died before Apr 1244) sister of Thibaut de Mellier Herr von Falkenstein, that “je suis tenté de voir en elle la mère de cette Isabeau, fille de feu Philippon châtelain de Bar” named in the Jan 1257 (O.S.) as “nièce” of Thibaut de Mellier [see the charter quoted below][402]. This interpretation depends firstly on “nièce” being used in its strict sense of “niece” (which is not inevitable considering the broad range of uses of the terms “nepos/neptis/neveu/nièce” in medieval documents) and secondly that, if the term did mean “niece”, Isabelle was the same sister of Thibaut who married Philippe. Considering this uncertainty, it is preferable to show [--- de Mellier, daughter of Hugues de Chiny Seigneur de Mellier & his wife Lucie de Douchery] as the possible wife of Philippe until more corroborative information emerges. Philippe & his wife had two children: a) PHILIPPE . Châtelain de Bar. He is named in the Jan 1257 (O.S.) charter quoted below under his sister Isabelle. b) ISABELLE . “Thyebaus chevaliers sires de Malliers” confirmed that “Isabiaus ma nièce, qui fu fille le segnor Phelippon, qui fus chastelains de Bar et est suer à mon neveu Phelippon, qui or est chastellains de Bar” had consented to her brother’s transfer of property to Elan abbey by charter dated Jan 1257 (O.S.)[403].

Chapter 4. SEIGNEURS de LIGNY et de ROUSSY, COMTES de LIGNY (LUXEMBOURG)
The seigneurie of Ligny [en-Barrois] was situated north-west of Joinville, and due east of Saint-Dizier, today located in the south-west of the French département of Meuse in the arrondissement of Bar-le-Duc. Originally part of the domaine of the comtes de Blois/Champagne, Ligny was the dowry of Agnes, daughter of Thibaut IV Comte de Blois et de Troyes, when she married Renaud II Comte de Bar. The couple’s grandson Henri II Comte de Bar granted it to his daughter Marguerite on her marriage to Henri VI "le Blond" Comte de Luxembourg[433]. It passed to the couple’s younger son Waléran de Luxembourg, who is shown below. The seigneurie was elevated to the status of a county by Charles V King of France in 1367 in favour of Waléran’s great-grandson Guy de Luxembourg.
The primary sources which confirm the parentage and marriages of the members of this family have not yet been identified, unless otherwise stated below.
WALERAN [I] de Luxembourg, son of HENRI V Comte de Luxembourg & his wife Marguerite de Bar Dame de Ligny-en-Barrois (-killed in battle Worringen [Wary] 5 Jun 1288). The Gesta Baldewini de Luczenburch names "Henrico Comite Luczelinburgensis" and "Walramo germano suo"[434]. Seigneur de Ligny-en-Barrois, de Roussy et de La Roche. "Henris cuens de Lucembourg et de la Roche et Marchis d’Erlons et...Marguerite sa fame" granted “en heritaige Linei” to “Walerant nostre fil” by charter dated Dec 1262[435]. "Henry cuens de Lucelbourg et de la Roche et Marchis d’Arlons" notified that “Walerans nostre filz” had become “hons liges à Henry son frere nostre ainey filz” for “Roussey...Liney”, which he had from his mother, by charter dated Apr 1270[436]. “Vallerans de Lucembourg sires de Liney, chlrs, et Jehanne sa femme” granted rights to Ligny by charter dated Sep 1276, in a vidimus dated 28 Apr 1503[437]. He was killed after rushing to the assistance of his brother Henri VI Comte de Luxembourg during the battle of Worringen against Jean Duke of Brabant[438]. The History of the Bishops of Liège written by Jean Hocsemius, canon at Liège, records that "Lutzilburgensis comes...Waleranus...frater eius, et frater Coloniensis archiepiscopi" were killed in 1288 “Non Jun...bellum apud castrum de Waronc”[439]. m (after [1272]) as her second husband, JEANNE de Beauvois Dame de Beauvois, widow of GILLES [III] de Beaumetz Châtelain de Bapaume, daughter of MATHIEU Seigneur de Beauvois & his wife --- (-before 1300). “Robert de Beaumets second fils de Gillion châtelain de Bapaume seigneur de Beaumetz” agreed to indemnify Guy Count of Flanders for a payment agreed on the marriage of “Gillion de Beaumets son frère avec Dlle Jeannain fille du seigneur de Beauvoir” by charter dated May 1262[440]. “Vallerans de Lucembourg sires de Liney, chlrs, et Jehanne sa femme” granted rights to Ligny by charter dated Sep 1276, in a vidimus dated 28 Apr 1503[441]. "Henrys de Luxembourg sire de Liney" founded anniversaries for the souls of “son...pere monseigneur Walerans de Luxembourg et...madame Ieanne de Beauvoir sa mere” by charter dated 1300[442]. Waleran [I] & his wife had three children: 1. HENRI de Luxembourg (-killed in battle Courtrai 14 Jul 1302). Seigneur de Ligny 1295. "Henrys de Luxembourg sire de Liney" founded anniversaries for the souls of “son...pere monseigneur Walerans de Luxembourg et...madame Ieanne de Beauvoir sa mere” by charter dated 1300[443]. The Chronique Artésienne records “mesire Henris de Luxembourc” among those killed at the battle of Furnes 20 Aug 1297[444], which appears to be incorrect in light of the charter dated 1300 quoted above. 2. WALERAN [II] de Luxembourg (-after 1 Nov 1352, bur Notre-Dame de Cambrai). Seigneur de Beauvoir et de Roussy 1288. He succeeded his brother in 1303 as Seigneur de Ligny. “Wallerans de Luxelbourch sires de Ligny et castelains de Lille” notified the payment of a debt by charter dated 5 Nov 1305[445]. The necrology of Lille Saint-Pierre records the names “VII Kal Feb” of “domini Walerani de Luxembourg, domini de Ligny et Guyote uxoris eius castulanæ Insulensis et Jeannis filiis eorum”[446]. m (before 5 Nov 1305) GUYOTTE Chatelaine de Lille, daughter of JEAN [IV] Châtelain de Lille & his wife Beatrix de Clermont ([1275]-7 Aug 1338, bur Abbaye de Phalempin). “Wallerans de Lussenbourc sires de Ligny et castelaine de Lille et Guiote damoisiele et castelaine” donated property to Cambrai by charter dated 1 May 1310[447]. “Guyotte dame de Ligny et châtelaine de Lille” founded at chapel at Neuville, Phalempin, for the souls of “feus Jean son père, de Beatrix de Nesle sa mère, de Mahaut son aïeule” and also for the souls of “Wallerand de Luxembourg son mari et de Jean son fils”, by charter dated Mar 1336[448]. The necrology of Lille Saint-Pierre records the names “VII Kal Feb” of “domini Walerani de Luxembourg, domini de Ligny et Guyote uxoris eius castulanæ Insulensis et Jeannis filiis eorum”[449]. An inscription in the chapel of Saint-Jean-l’Evangéliste at Phalempin records the death 7 Aug 1337 of “dame Guyote dame de Ligny chastelaine de Lille”[450]. "Iehans de Luxembourg chastelains de Lille et sire de Roussy", by charter dated 15 Jan 1347, notified letters issued by “nostre...pere monseigneur Walerand de Luxembourg seigneur de Liney et de feu nostre...mere Guyote...chastelaine de Lille”[451]. Waleran [II] & his wife had [two] children: a) JEAN de Luxembourg ([1300]-17 May 1364, bur Phalempin). “Guyotte dame de Ligny et châtelaine de Lille” founded at chapel at Neuville, Phalempin, for the souls of “feus Jean son père, de Beatrix de Nesle sa mère, de Mahaut son aïeule” and also for the souls of “Wallerand de Luxembourg son mari et de Jean son fils”, by charter dated Mar 1336[452]. Seigneur de Ligny, Seigneur de Beauvoir et de Roussy 1347. - see below. b) [MARIE de Luxembourg (-Jun 1337, bur Gistel). A monumental inscription in Gistel church records the death “te Kersy den xxiii ougst” of “myn heere Jan die was van Ghistelles” and “1337 in juing” of “zy vr. Marie van Lutsenborch myns heerens Walrands dochtere”, with the arms of Luxembourg[453]. Limburg-Stirum suggests that Grootjans-Hulpiau reproduced the epitaph “me paraît-il d’une manière très imparfaite” but he does not indicate the precise parts which he considers inaccurate[454]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Marie was the daughter of Waléran [I] de Luxembourg Seigneur de Ligny[455]. The chronology suggests that this parentage is unlikely to be correct. The children of Waléran [I] were born between 1272 and 1288, which makes Jan [IV] de Gistel’s marriage to his daughter after 1326 unlikely as Marie would have been approaching the end of her child-bearing years. If the Gistel church epitaph is correct, it is more likely that Marie was the daughter of Waléran [II]. m (after 1326) as his second wife, JAN [IV] Heer van Gistel, son of JAN [III] Heer van Gistel & his first wife Marguerite de Durbuy [Luxembourg-Limburg] (-killed in battle Crécy 26 Aug 1346, bur Gistel).] 3. PHILIPPA de Luxembourg (-after Oct 1287). The contract of marriage between "Henry comte de Valence...Henry fils dudit comte de Valence" and “Waleran de Luxembourg seigneur de Ligny...Philippe fille dudit Waleran” is dated Oct 1287, under which “Henry comte de Valence donne à sondit filz le chasteau de Valence et le conté et le chasteau de Luxembourg, reservé le chasteau de Landesbourg”[456]. Philippa’s future husband has not been identified beyond doubt. The reference to Luxembourg suggests that he may have been the future Henri VII Comte de Luxembourg. If that is correct, “Valence” may represent “Valenciennes”, an area with which the Luxembourg family had connections at the time. No reference has been found to a Papal dispensation for such a marriage, necessary because of the close family relationship between the parties. Betrothed (contract Oct 1287) to HENRI “Comte de Valence”, son of HENRI “Comte de Valence” & his wife ---, maybe HENRI VII Comte de Luxembourg, son of HENRI VI Comte de Luxembourg & his wife Beatrix d'Avesnes (12 Jul 1274-Buonconvento near Siena 24 Aug 1313, bur Pisa Cathedral).
JEAN de Luxembourg, de Beauvoir et de Roussy, son of WALERAN [II] de Luxembourg, Seigneur de Ligny, de Beauvoir et de Roussy & his wife Guyotte chatelaine de Lille ([1300]-17 May 1364, bur Phalampin). The necrology of Lille Saint-Pierre records the names “VII Kal Feb” of “domini Walerani de Luxembourg, domini de Ligny et Guyote uxoris eius castulanæ Insulensis et Jeannis filiis eorum”[457]. “Guyotte dame de Ligny et châtelaine de Lille” founded at chapel at Neuville, Phalempin, for the souls of “feus Jean son père, de Beatrix de Nesle sa mère, de Mahaut son aïeule” and also for the souls of “Wallerand de Luxembourg son mari et de Jean son fils”, by charter dated Mar 1336[458].

"Ioanna dicta Bacon domina de Molayo relicta defuncti Ioannis Lucemburgensis quondam castellani Insulæ et domini de Roucey" claimed against “Matildim comitissam Sancti Pauli relictam defuncti Guidonis Lucemburgensis ultimi comitis de Ligniaco et de Sancto Paulo, Waleranum de Lucemburgo comitem de Ligniaco primogenitum dictorum comitis et comitissæ et heredem principalem dicti defuncti” dated 27 Aug 1373[466]. Jean & his first wife had [ten] children: 1. MARIE de Luxembourg ([1331/35]-[8 Dec 1376/3 Jul 1381]).

The marriage contract between "monsieur Raoul de Raineval fils de monsieur Guillaume seigneur de Raineval" and “madamoiselle Philippe fille de monsieur Iean de Lucembourg chastellain de Lille” is dated 19 Nov 1350 and provides land “en Touraine et sa seigneurie de Brueil” as dowry[471]. m (contract 19 Nov 1350) as his first wife, RAOUL de Raineval Seigneur de Raineval et de Pierrepont, son of GUILLAUME Seigneur de Raineval & his wife Ada Dame de Fouilloy (-1393).

An anonymous author (suggesting that she was the daughter of Waléran de Luxembourg & his wife Guyotte de Lille) indicates that this marriage was suggested because her husband’s descendants “ont rompu leurs armes d’un écusson de Luxembourg au cœur sans les burelles” and that, if it is correct, Catherine must have been Daniel’s second wife (no sources cited)[473]. The reference to the Luxembourg arms presumably relates to the epitaph of Jacques d’Halluin, great-great grandson of Daniel d’Halluin. No primary source has been found which confirms her parentage and marriage. m [as his second wife,] DANIEL d’Halluin Seigneur de Roosebeke, Burggraaf van Harlebeke, son of GAUTHIER [II] d’Halluin Seigneur de Roosebeke, Burggraaf van Harlebeke & his wife Anne van Reigaarsvliet (-after 1379).] 5.

"Monsieur Iean de Luxembourg seigneur de Beaurevoir" agreed "en faveur du mariage qui se consommera de luy et de madame Ieanne de Bethune comtesse de Marle veuve de monsieur Robert de Bar comte de Bar" the dower should he predecease his wife by charter dated 23 Nov 1418[496]. “Isabella dame van Gistel, Vendeuil en Ingelmunster, dame de Meaux” divided territories, inherited from “notre...pere monseigneur Jehan seigneur de Guistelle et d’Anglemoustier, messire Loys de Guistelle notre frere et messire Guy de Guistelle notre oncle”, between “haar kinderen Jeanne de Bethune (gehuwd met Jan van Luxembourg) en Jacqueline de Bethune (gehuwd met Arnoul d’Ailly)” by charter dated 26 Feb 1423 (N.S.)[497]. d) CATHERINE de Luxembourg . 1393. e) JEANNE de Luxembourg (-1420). m firstly (8 Sep 1415) LODEWIJK Heer van Gistel, son of JAN [VI] Heer van Gistel & his second wife Jeanne de Châtillon (-killed in battle Agincourt 25 Oct 1415). m secondly (28 Oct 1419) as his first wife, JEAN Vicomte de Melun Burchgraaf van Gent Seigneur d'Antoing et d'Epinoy, son of HUGUES de Melun Burchgraaf van Gent, Seigneur d’Antoing et d’Epinoy & his second wife Beatrix de Beausart (-25 Feb 1484). Constable of Flanders 1432. 8. [JEANNE de Luxembourg (-[1385/86]). Père Anselme records that Guy [VIII] married firstly “Jeanne de Luxembourg, sœur du comte de S. Pol”, noting the marriage contract dated 1384 “dont les cautions pour son douaire furent le captal de Buch, oncle de Guy de la Rochefoucaud, le maréchal de Sancerre et le vicomte de Rochechouart ses cousins”, that the marriage “fut accompli en 1385”, and that “l’éloge de Guy de la Rochefoucaud marque que Jeanne de Luxembourg le laissa veuf, sans lui donner de successeur” [no source citations][498]. Many secondary sources identity Jeanne as the daughter of Jean [I] de Luxembourg Seigneur de Ligny and his wife Alix de Flandre, widow of Guy de Châtillon Comte de Saint-Pol, which appears chronologically impossible considering that Jeanne married Guy in 1350 (see the document NORTHERN FRANCE-ARTOIS, BOULOGNE, GUINES, SAINT-POL). The specific details provided by Père Anselme suggest that Guy [VIII] did marry firstly “Jeanne de Luxembourg”, but the chronology of the Luxembourg family suggests that, if that is correct, she would have been the daughter of Guy Comte de Luxembourg, who was comte de Saint-Pol de iure uxoris. This is the position adopted by Hirschbiegel, who unfortunately cites no sources[499]. m (contract 12 Mar 1384, 1385) as his first wife, GUY [VIII] Seigneur de la Rochefoucauld, son of AIMERY [III] Seigneur de la Rochefoucauld & his second wife Rogette de Grailly ([1360/62?]-1427 or after).] Comte Guy had one illegitimate child by an unknown mistress: 9. JEAN de Luxembourg dit Cavelus bâtard de Ligny (-25 Jun 1403, bur Abbaye de Phalempin). Père Anselme records his parentage, fiefs, date of death, and place of burial (no sources cited)[500]. He is not named by Duchesne[501]. Seigneur du Forest [now Leforest] et du Bos: Duthilloeul notes that “Jean de Luxembourg dit Cavelus bâtard de Ligny, qui fut châtelain de Lille, où il est mort en 1403” was titled “chevalier, seigneur du Forest et du Bos”, adding that “cette terre passa ensuite dans la maison de Contay, puis dans celle de la Tramerie, et fut érigée en marquisat au 16e siècle” (no source citation)[502]. Leuridan does not say that he was châtelain de Lille[503]. An epitaph at Phalempin Saint-Christophe records the death 25 Jun 1403 and burial of “messire Jean de Luxembourg dit Cavelus bastard de Ligny, chevalier, seigneur du Forest, du Bos”, and the death 25 Oct 1432 and burial of “madame Jean Dencre dame du Forest, du Bos, qui fu femme du seigneur dessusdit”[504]. m JEANNE d'Encre [d’Esne] Dame du Forest et du Bos, daughter of --- (-26 Oct 1432, bur Abbaye de Phalempin). Père Anselme records her family origin (no parents named) and marriage, fiefs, her date of death, and place of burial (no sources cited)[505]. Leuridan names her “Jeanne d’Encre ou d’Esne” and records her date of death and place of burial[506]. An epitaph at Phalempin Saint-Christophe records the death 25 Jun 1403 and burial of “messire Jean de Luxembourg dit Cavelus bastard de Ligny, chevalier, seigneur du Forest, du Bos”, and the death 25 Oct 1432 and burial of “madame Jean Dencre dame du Forest, du Bos, qui fu femme du seigneur dessusdit”[507]. Jean & his wife had one child: a) MARGUERITE de Luxembourg . Père Anselme records her parentage and two marriages (no sources cited)[508]. The primary sources which confirm this information have not been identified. m firstly RAOUL Cassinel Seigneur de Cuys et d'Anise [en Champagne], son of GUILLAUME Cassinel Seigneur de Romainville, de Pomponne et de Ver & his wife Isabelle de Châtillon (-after 1416). Père Anselme records his parentage and marriage, noting documents dated 1387, 1393, 1397, 1414, 1415, and 1416 in which he was named, noting that he sold “ses terres de Cuys et d’Anise” to “Charles de Brumieres écuyer” in 1411 and naming the couple’s two children[509]. m secondly GUILLAUME de Tilly, son of ---. same person as...? GUILLAUME de Tilly, son of JEAN de Tilly Seigenur de Chambay & his wife Beatrix de Clermont (-[15 May 1451/1 Jun 1457]). The primary source which confirms the identity of Marguerite’s second husband has not been found, but the chronology suggests that he was Guillaume, son of Jean de Tilly Seigneur de Chambay.
