The duchy of Aquitaine was a disparate territory, stretching from the Atlantic coast to the western border of the duchy of Burgundy. The central part of the duchy included the counties of Angoulême, la Marche, and Périgord (see the document ANGOULÊME, LA MARCHE, PERIGORD). To the east of Angoulême lay Limousin, which included the vicomtés of Comborn, Limoges (under the suzerainty of the counts of Angoulême in the early 11th century, as shown by the Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes which records the succession in Limoges "intercedente Willelmo comite Engolismensis"[1]), Ségur, Turenne and Ventadour.

Chapter 1. SEIGNEURS de CHÂTEAUNEUF

The sources show that the Châteauneuf family which is set out below was closely linked to the vicomtes de Rochechouart (see Chapter 8). The Châteauneuf in question has not been identified with certainty. Châteauneuf-sur-Charente, to the west of Angoulême, appears too far from Rochechouart. Another possibility is Châteauneuf-la-Forêt, east of Linards and south-east of Limoges, which appears too far from Rochechouart in the other direction. Pierre de Châteauneuf, archdeacon of Limoges, whose family unit is shown below, appears to be part of the family of the seigneurs de Châteauneuf-la-Forêt[2]. However, it is not certain that the other Châteauneuf entries which are set out here relate to members of the same family.

m secondly (contract 12 Jan 1256) MARGUERITE de Pons, daughter of GEOFFROY [III] Seigneur de Pons et de Montignac & his wife --- (-after 12 Nov 1306). An 18th century manuscript (unconfirmed provenance) published by Champeval records the marriage contract dated 1255 [presumably O.S.] “le mardy après l’Epiphanie” between Archambaud Vicomte de Comborn and “Marguerite fille de Geoffroy seigneur de Pons et de Montignac”, which records the need for Papal dispensation and specifies the dowry[160]. The codicil of “feue Marguerite de P?ont femme de feu Archamb. vicon. de Combort” is dated 1306[161].

Archambaud [VII] & his first wife had two children:

1. GUY de Comborn (-after 1285). An anonymous Chronicon of Saint-Marcial records that "Maria, sorore Guidonis, vicecomitis Lemovicensis" married "Archambladus vicecomes Comborum", when recording the death of the latter in 1277 and the succession of "Guido primogenitus suus"[162]. He was called the “seigneur de Montendre” in the Mar 1276 settlement of the inheritance of his second wife’s father, under which he received the châtellenie de Montendre[163]. He succeeded his father in 1277 as Vicomte de Comborn. A charter dated 1285 records an agreement between Uzerche and “Guy viconte de Comb.” concerning jurisdictional matters at “Balesme”[164]. m firstly (before 1276) AMICE de Chabanais, daughter of ESCHIVAT de Chabanais & his wife ---.

Baluze suggests that “Thouvaz”, interpreted by earlier authors including Duchesne as “Thouars”, should indicate “Tonnay”, highlighting the charter dated 1298 cited below under this couple’s daughters[168]. Assuming that he is correct, “Geoffroy de Thouars” and his wife “Marguerite de Tonnay-Charente”, recorded as parents of Almodis, never existed. Under the settlement of her father’s inheritance dated Mar 1276, the “seigneur de Montendre” received the châtellenie de Montendre[169]. Guy & his second wife had two children:

a) EUSTACHIE de Comborn (-[Feb 1298/23 Jan 1304?]). Vicomtesse de Comborn.

A judgment of the Parlement de Paris dated 1298 records a division “des biens de la seigneurie et chastellenie de Combort” agreed between “Eustaiche de Combort” and “Marie de Combort femme de Guischard”[171]. The date of Eustachie’s death has not been ascertained. It is possible that she died before 20 Jan 1304 when her husband swore allegiance for the vicomté. m as his first wife, ESCHIVARD [IV] de Preuilly Seigneur de Preuilly, son of GEOFFROY [V] Seigneur de Preuilly & his wife Marguerite --- (-1320).

[see the Oct 1246 similar charter of his brother Bernard [II], cited above], by charter dated Jun 1248[201].

The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified. The 18th century manuscript (unconfirmed provenance) published by Champeval notes the testament of Guichard, dated Oct 1255, in which he names “Mathe sa femme”[205].

Guichard & his wife had [five or more] children:

Seigneur de Chamberet. The 18th century manuscript published by Champeval records that “Guischard de Comborn chanoine d’Esmoutiers” swore homage to the bishop of Limoges “comme tuteur de ses neveux, enfans d’Helies de Comborn son frère” by charter dated 1270[207]. m ([1262]) SOUVERAINE d’Aurillac, daughter of ASTORGE d’Aurillac & his wife --- (-after 27 Jul 1270, bur Donzy Franciscans).

Hélie & his wife had two children:

a) GUICHARD de Comborn (-[6 Jun 1319/19 Jan 1320] or after 30 Mar 1323). Seigneur de Chamberet. Seigneur de Treignac. The testament of “Guischard de Comb. sgr de Treignac et de Chambaret”, dated 1302, named “Jehan, son [filz]” as his heir[209]. The 18th century manuscript published by Champeval provides further details from this testament, in which the testator chose burial “dans l’église des frères Mineurs de Donzenac avec ses ancestres”, bought the rights inherited from “Souveraine leur mêre” from “son frère Hélie”[210]. A charter dated 30 Mar 1323 records a grant of property made by “Guis[chard] Combort sgr de Chambaret et Ma[rie sa] feme dame de Treignac”[211]. m MARIE de Comborn Dame de Treignac, daughter of GUY Vicomte de Comborn & his second wife Almodis de Thouars (-after 4 Apr 1336). A charter dated 1298 records the division of territories between Eustachie and Marie, daughters of Guy Vicomte de Comborn and his wife Almodis, under which Marie inherited “terram de Alone et terram...insulam de Rey, portum de Tonnay super Charente”, while Eustachie inherited the vicomté de Comborn[212]. A judgment of the Parlement de Paris dated 1298 records a division “des biens de la seigneurie et chastellenie de Combort” agreed between “Eustaiche de Combort” and “Marie de Combort femme de Guischard”[213]. “Marie feme de Guischard de Combort” granted “la sgie de Treignac” to “Jehan de Comb. [leur?] filz aisné” by charter dated 1314[214]. The testament of “Marie de Combort, fille héretière en partie de Guy de Comb. et veufve de Guischard de Combort”, dated 4 Apr 1336, named “Guy et Guischard ses enffans héretiers”[215]. Guichard & his wife had five children:

i) JEAN dit GUICHARD de Comborn (-[5 Dec 1344/24 Oct 1346]). The testament of “Guischard de Comb. sgr de Treignac et de Chambaret”, dated 1302, named “Jehan, son [filz]” as his heir[216]. Seigneur de Chamberet: “Guischard de Combort” granted “la terre et sgie de Chambaret” to “Jehan son fils aisné” for his marriage to “Blanche de Ventadour fille du visconte de Ventad.” by charter dated end-Dec 1311[217]. Seigneur de Treignac: “Marie feme de Guischard de Combort” granted “la sgie de Treignac” to “Jehan de Comb. [leur?] filz aisné” by charter dated 1314[218]. The testament of “Marie de Combort, fille héretière en partie de Guy de Comb. et veufve de Guischard de Combort”, dated 4 Apr 1336, named “Guy et Guischard ses enffans héretiers”[219]. He is named as alive in the 5 Dec 1344 charter of his brother Guy, quoted below, but presumably died before the 24 Oct 1346 charter of his wife in favour of her son. m (contract 26 Dec 1311) BLANCHE de Ventadour, daughter of EBLES [VIII] Vicomte de Ventadour & his wife Marguerite de Montpensier (-after 25 Nov 1366). “Guischard de Combort” granted “la terre et sgie de Chambaret” to “Jehan son fils aisné” for his marriage to “Blanche de Ventadour fille du visconte de Ventad.” by charter dated end-Dec 1311[220]. “Dame Blanche de Ventador dame de Treignac” donated property to “messire Guichard de Combort chevalier son fils” by charter dated 24 Oct 1346[221]. The testament of “Guischard de Combort”, dated 25 Nov 1366, names his wife “Marie...Blanche son ayeule...Archambaud de Comborn seigneur de Puymaud son grand-oncle”, naming the descendants of the latter as his heirs[222]. Jean dit Guichard & his wife had four children:

(a) GUICHARD de Comborn (-[1364/25 Nov 1366]). Seigneur de Chamberet: the marriage contract between “Guischard le jeune” and “Hélis de Bessia” is dated 20 Jan 1342, includes the emancipation of the former by “Guisch. le vieulx son père” and the grant by the latter to the former of “la terre de Chambaret”[223]. Seigneur de Treignac: “Guy de Combort” granted “tout ce qu’il avoit en la terre de Treignac et Chambaret” to “Guischard de Comb. le jeune son neveu” by charter dated 20 Jan 1342[224]. [“Archambaud [error for Guichard?] de Combort” granted “tout ce qu’il avoit aulx terres de Treignac et Chambaret” to “son filz [error for neveu?] Guischard, le jeune” by charter dated 20 Feb 1342[225]. Presumably this document represented either a grant by Archambaud to his nephew or Jean dit Guichard to his son.] “Dame Blanche de Ventador dame de Treignac” donated property to “messire Guichard de Combort chevalier son fils” by charter dated 24 Oct 1346[226]. The testament of “Guischard le jeune sr de Chambaret fils d’aultre Guischard, lequel auparavant l’avoit émancipé”, dated 3 Nov 1347, named “Marie sa fille” as his heir, except if “sa feme eust un enffant masle, posthume”[227]. A charter dated 1351 records that “domina Augi, Guichardus de Comborino dominus de Piseia et Droco de Melloto milites“ claimed to be (“se dicentes heredis“) to property in Auvergne of “defunctæ Ioannæ comitissæ Drocensis filiæ Petri comitis Drocensis“[228]. He was named in the 1355 marriage contract of his niece Marie de Javerlhac cited below. The source which names him in 1364 has not been identified. He is named as deceased in his son’s 25 Nov 1366 testament quoted below. m firstly (contract 20 Jan 1342) HELIE de Besse, daughter of GUILLAUME de Besse & his wife Almodis Rogier. The marriage contract between “Guischard le jeune” and “Hélis de Bessia” is dated 20 Jan 1342, includes the emancipation of the former by “Guisch. le vieulx son père” and the grant by the latter to the former of “la terre de Chambaret”[229]. “Guilhaume Rogier sr du Chambon et de St. Exupéri” donated money for the marriage of “Guisch. de Comborn filz de Guisch. de C.” and “Helye de Bessis niepce dud. Rogier” by charter dated 20 Jan 1342[230]. m secondly (1364) JEANNE de Naillac, daughter of --- (-20 Feb [1392/93]). The 18th century manuscript published by Champeval records that Guichard de Comborn married secondly “Jeanne de Naillac, qui avoit de grands biens” in 1364, adding that she died childless[231]. The necrology of Saint-Martin de Treignhac records the death “X Kal Mar” 1392 (O.S.?) of Jeanne de Naillac “dame de Treignhac et de Peyrusse, veufve de...Guischard de Comborn chevalier seigneur de Treignhac et de Peyrusse, et vicomte de Comborn [incorrect]”[232]. Guichard & his first wife had two children:

(1) MARIE de Comborn ([1342/47]-). The testament of “Guischard le jeune sr de Chambaret fils d’aultre Guischard, lequel auparavant l’avoit émancipé”, dated 3 Nov 1347, named “Marie sa fille” as his heir, except if “sa feme eust un enffant masle, posthume”[233].

(2) GUICHARD de Comborn (after 3 Nov 1347-[30 Aug 1412/1415]). His parentage is confirmed by his 25 Nov 1366 testament quoted below. He was not born at the time of his father’s 3 Nov 1347 testament. Seigneur de Treignac. Vicomte de Comborn 1379.

- see below.

(b) GUICHARD de Comborn (-1394). The 18th century manuscript published by Champeval names “Guischard chanoine d’Autun” as second son of Guichard de Comborn, adding that his testament is dated 1394[234].

(c) ARCHAMBAUD de Comborn (-after Sep 1355). He was named in the 1355 marriage contract of his niece Marie de Javerlhac cited below.

(d) BLANCHE de Comborn (-[before Sep 1355]). The 18th century manuscript published by Champeval names “Blanche espousa Jean seigneur de Janalhac” as the third daughter of Guichard de Comborn[235]. Contrary to what Champeval says, her actual parentage and marriage (but not her name) are confirmed by the 1355 marriage contract of her daughter Marie cited below. That document indicates that Blanche was the daughter, not the sister, of Jean dit Guichard de Comborn: the contract names her brothers Guichard and Archambaud, the former of whom must have been the son of Jean dit Guichard who was deceased at the time. This parentage is consistent with the dates of the marriages of her father Jean dit Guichard and of her daughter Marie. Her daughter’s marriage contract suggests that Blanche was deceased at the time as it states that her share in the family succession passed to her daughter. m JEAN Seigneur de Javerlhac [Freignac], son of ---. He is named in his daughter’s marriage contract. The name “Freignac” is mentioned in the 1 Sep 1356 testament cited below under his daughter. One child:

(1) MARIE de Javerlhac (-after 9 Jun 1375). The marriage contract between “Loys filz du visconte de Rochechouart” and “Marie de Javerlhac filhe de --- de Javer., niepce de Guischard et Archamb. de Combort” is dated 17 May [1355][236]. Baluze records the document which reads: a document dated “dies lunæ in fest. B. Mathioi” [Sep] 1355 records the marriage of “nobilem scutiferum Ludovicum filium domini Johannis de Ruppecavardi vicecomitis hujusdem loci” and “Mariam nobilem filiam nobilis Domini Johannis de Janalhaco domini dictæ villæ”, specifying the sums of additional dowry promised by “Domini Guischardus de Combornio dominus de Treignaco et Archambaldus de Combornio militis fratres avunculi dictæ Maria de Javarlhaco” from “bonis ratione Blanchæ de Combornio matris suæ et eorum sororis”[237]. The testament of "Jean vicomte de Rochechouart", dated 1 Sep 1356, disinherited "Louis son fils aîné" for marrying without consent "Marie de Freignac (alias de Javcasac)"[238]. The reasons for her father-in-law’s opposition to the marriage have not been ascertained. "Louis vicomte de Rochechouart" made an agreement "au nom de...Marie de Javerlhac sa femme" with "Brunet de Grassac..." concerning “une maison...à Javerlhac” by charter dated 9 Jun 1375[239]. m (contract 17 May 1355) as his first wife, LOUIS de Rochechouart, son of JEAN [I] Vicomte de Rochechouart & his wife Jeanne de Sully (-after 1398). He succeeded his father in 1356 as Vicomte de Rochechouart.

ii) GUY de Comborn (-after 5 Dec 1344). The testament of “Marie de Combort, fille héretière en partie de Guy de Comb. et veufve de Guischard de Combort”, dated 4 Apr 1336, named “Guy et Guischard ses enffans héretiers”[240]. Presumably Guy was named first because of the status accorded to his ecclesiastical positions. “Guy de Combort” granted “tout ce qu’il avoit en la terre de Treignac et Chambaret” to “Guischard de Comb. le jeune son neveu” by charter dated 20 Jan 1342[241]. Canon at Reims, Coûtance and Rouen: “Guy de Combort chanoine de Reins, Coustence et Rouen frère? de Guischard de Combort le vieulx” granted property to “Guischard de Comb. le jeune son filz” by charter dated 5 Dec 1344[242].

iii) ARCHAMBAUD de Comborn (-after 22 Jul 1369). An 18th century manuscript (unconfirmed provenance) published by Champeval names “Archambaud de Comborn [qui] fait la branche des seigneurs d‘Enval” as third son of Guichard de Comborn [no source citation][243]. The 18th century manuscript records that his mother’s 1336 testament bequeathed property to her son Archambaud and that he was also named in the 6 Aug 1367 testament of his sister Mathe[244]. The testament of “Guischard de Combort”, dated 25 Nov 1366, named “Archambaud de Comborn chevalier seigneur de Puymaud oncle de mon père” as his heir to his property “dans la seigneurie de Comborn et d’Exandon” and requested the marriage of “une des filles du seigneur Pierre de Bellefaye mon oncle avec Archambaud fils du susdit seigneur Archambaud de Comborn”[245]. “Archambault de Combort sr de Puymaud et d’Anval” acknowledged receipt of revenue bequeathed to him by “feu Guyschard de Combort son frère” from “Guyschard de Comb. sr de Treignac son oncle” by charter dated 22 Jul 1369[246]. m ([contract 3 Nov 1341]) ---. The name of Archambaud’s wife is not known. The marriage contract of “Archambaud de Combort” is dated 3 Nov 1341 (no wife named in the extract)[247]. The chronology suggests the possibility that this contract relates to Archambaud son of Guichard, although this would be late for a first marriage. Archambaud & his wife had one child:

(a) ARCHAMBAUD de Comborn (-after 28 Jan 1402). The 18th century manuscript records that the 25 Nov 1366 testament of Guichard de Comborn named “Archambaud de Comborn chevalier seigneur de Puymaud oncle de mon père” as his heir to his property “dans la seigneurie de Comborn et d’Exandon” and requested the marriage of “une des filles du seigneur Pierre de Bellefaye mon oncle avec Archambaud fils du susdit seigneur Archambaud de Comborn”[248]. It is not known whether this marriage took place.

- SEIGNEURS de PUYMAUD et d’ENVAL[249].

iv) MATHE de Comborn (-[after 6 Aug 1367]). The marriage contract between “Mathe fille [de]...Guischard [de Comborn]” and “seigneur Hëlie comte de Ventadour” is dated 20 Nov 1314[250]. [Dame d’Olmiers. The testament of “Madame Mathe de Combort dame des Olmières”, dated 6 Aug 1367, named as her heir “Guischard de Comb. filz du sr de Treignac, son neveu”[251]. The 18th century manuscript published by Champeval notes that in this testament Mathe was named “veufve de Brun seigneur de Claviers”, suggesting that she was either the same daughter who married Ebles de Ventadour or another daughter of the same name[252]. Mathe presumably died without surviving descendants.] m firstly (contract 20 Nov 1314) EBLES [IX] Vicomte de Ventadour, son of EBLES [VIII] Vicomte de Ventadour & his wife Marguerite de Montpensier (-[1325/29]).

v) SOUVERAINE de Comborn . The 18th century manuscript published by Champeval names “Souveraine espousa Raynaud de Born seigneur d’Hautefort; 2e espousa Dieudonné vicomte de Calvinhac” as the second daughter of Guichard de Comborn[253]. m firstly RAYNAUD de Born Seigneur d’Hautefort, son of ---. m secondly DIEUDONNE Vicomte de Calvinhac, son of ---.

b) HELIE de Comborn (-after 1302). An 18th century manuscript (unconfirmed provenance) published by Champeval names “Hélie de Comborn” as second son of Hélie de Comborn [no source citation][254]. The testament of “Guischard de Comb. sgr de Treignac et de Chambaret”, dated 1302, bought the rights inherited from “Souveraine leur mêre” from “son frère Hélie”[255].

2. HYMBERT de Comborn . An 18th century manuscript (unconfirmed provenance) published by Champeval names “Hymbert chevalier du Temple, commandeur de Pauliac” as second son of Guichard de Comborn (no citation reference)[256].

3. GUICHARD de Comborn (-after 25 Jan 1295). Canon at Emoutiers. An 18th century manuscript (unconfirmed provenance) published by Champeval records that “Guischard de Comborn chanoine d’Esmoutiers” swore homage to the bishop of Limoges “comme tuteur de ses neveux, enfans d’Helies de Comborn son frère” by charter dated 1270[257]. Canon at Autun. The testament of “Guischard de Combort chanoyne d’Authun”, dated 25 Jan 1294 (O.S.?), names “G[uischard?] de Combort son nepveu” as his heir[258].

4. daughters . An 18th century manuscript (unconfirmed provenance) published by Champeval notes the testament of Guichard, dated Oct 1255, in which he refers to “plusieurs enfans, garçons et filles, sans en nommer aucun”[259].

The relationship between the following family group and the main Comborn family has not been ascertained. One explanation could be some transcription error in the extract, maybe in the name of the grantor.

1. ARCHAMBAUD de Comborn . An undated charter records that “Archambaud visconte de Combort” granted property to “Guischard filz ainsné”, providing for income to “Guischard son aultre filz”[260]. m ---. Archambaud & his wife had two children:

He was not born at the time of his father’s 3 Nov 1347 testament. Seigneur de Treignac. The testament of “Guischard de Combort” is dated 25 Nov 1366 [no details in the extract][263].

m as her second husband, MATHILDE du Perche, widow of RAYMOND [I] Vicomte de Turenne, daughter of GEOFFROY Comte du Perche & his wife Beatrix de Ramerupt [Roucy] (before 1100-27 May 1143, bur Arnac). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records the marriage of "Guidonem", son of "Gerardus", and "Matilde, matre Bosonis de Torena quæ Arnaco condita est"[468].

The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records the death "V Kal Jun" of "Mathildis uxor quondam Raymundi de Torenna" and her burial by "Guidone…Crassus viro suo filio Geraldi de Turribus" at "Arnaco", recording that her son Boson was killed within one month of his mother's death[470]. The necrology of Saint-Martial records the death “IV Kal Jun” of “Matheldis vicecomitissa”[471]. It is not certain that this entry relates to Mathilde du Perche Vicomtesse de Turenne, but no other vicomtesse of this name has yet been identified in the Limousin area.

The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Oliverius de Turribus" in a passage which apparently deals with events in 1166[500]. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records that "Oliverius de Turribus" attacked "Arnaco…Monasterii", dated to [1173] from the context[501]. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records that "Guillermus filius Wlgrimi Comes Engolismensis, Ademarus Vicecomes Lemovicensis, Oliverius filius Gulpherii senioris de Turribus" were among those who left for Jerusalem in 1178, stating in a later passage that "Olivierius de Turribus" died "in Cœna Domini…XV Kal Apr Hierosolymis" (in 1180 from the context) and that "Bernardo quoque de Turribus consanguineo" brought his body back for burial[502]. m ALMODIE de Comborn, daughter of ARCHAMBAUD [IV] "le Barbu" Vicomte de Comborn & his wife Humberge [Brunissent] de Limoges (-[1165] before 28 Aug, bur Arnac).

The Pars Altera Chronici Lemovicensis of Geoffroy de Vigeois names "Constantinus de Born" as brother and enemy of "Bertranni de Born", although apparently incorrectly states that Constantin was "socer" of "Gulpherium filium Oliverii de Turribus"[511]. Constantin & his wife had one child:

i) GOUFFIER (-9 Apr ----). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Gulferium, quem Guido Vicecomes Lemovicensis destruxit" as of "Constantinus de Born de Agne filia Oliveri"[512]. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records the death "apud Vosias V Id Apr" of "Gulpherium de Turribus…anno ætatis suæ XXXIII" and his burial "Arnaco", also naming "Archembaldo patruo suo", the author recording this entry in a post-script commenting that the death occurred as he was terminating his book[513].

"Bulgrinus comes Engolismensis filius prædicti Willelmi Taillefer" confirmed the donations of his father to Notre-Dame de Dalon, in the presence of "Henrico de Turribus…" by charter dated 1171[520], although the date is surprising assuming that the death of Vulgrin's father is correctly reported as 1179 (see ANGOULEME).

2. BERNARD de Lastours (-after 1180). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records that "Bernardo quoque de Turribus consanguineo" brought his body back for burial after the death of "Olivierius de Turribus" in Jerusalem (in 1180 from the context)[521].

Chapter 5. VICOMTES de LIMOGES

A. VICOMTES de LIMOGES

Limoges was in the heart of the area affected by the rivalry between the dukes of Aquitaine and Pepin King of the Franks in the mid-8th century. The Historia Monasterii Usercensis records that "Gaifarus Dux Aquitainiæ" incited "Lemovicenses" to rebellion during the reign of King Pepin, who recaptured the town[559]. No primary source records have yet been identified which confirm that Limoges, or the Limousin area, constituted a county in early Carolingian times or was ruled by a count appointed by the king. From the second quarter of the 9th century, isolated references have been found to counts at Limoges. The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records that "Ruterium comitem" (identified as Comte Rather who was killed at Fontenoy in 841, see the document CAROLINGIAN NOBILITY)) received "Lemovicæ", after "Emeno [comes Pictavinus]" was expelled from Poitou, so dated to [838/39][560]. In the mid-850s, a Comte Gérard held interests around Limoges: “Gerardus comes” exchanged “æcclesia...Rovariam...in pago Lemovicino in vicaria Flaviniacense” for “villam...in pago Biturico in vicaria Nirondense...Coiacus” with Stodilus Bishop of Limoges by charter dated 28 Jul 855[561]. He is presumably identifiable as Gérard Comte d’Aurillac (see AQUITAINE DUKES) rather than Gérard Comte de Vienne (see CAROLINGIAN NOBILITY). There is also an indication that Raymond I Comte de Toulouse (who died [863/65]) was count at Limoges around the same time: a confused passage in the Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records "Odo" as “filius Raimundi comitis Lemovicensis”, the latter probably being identified as Comte Raymond I[562]. His son Odon Comte de Toulouse retained interests in Limoges: "Oddo…comes uxorque mea Garsindis" sold property "in comitatu Lemovicino…villa…Orbaciacus" by charter dated Aug 887, with the consent of "fratre nostro Airberto" and subscribed by "Garsis comitis, Willelmi comitis…"[563]. Thereafter the government of Limoges was entrusted to vicomtes.

As shown in Part A below, there appear to have been two families of vicomtes in Limoges in the 10thcentury, firstly the descendants of Hildebert who was granted property in Limoges by Emperor Charles II “le Chauve” in 876, and secondly Vicomte Rainaud and his possible son Archambaud. In addition, there is the shadowy figure of Foucher, alleged to have been appointed as the first vicomte de Limoges possibly by Odon Comte de Toulouse, who is listed first in Part A. Archambaud’s widow married Géraud Vicomte de Limoges, the grandson of Hildebert, after the death of her first husband (probably in 957/58) and no further members of Archambaud’s family have been traced in the primary sources, although his name suggests a connection with the family of the vicomtes de Turenne. The name “Hildebert”, encountered several times in the early generations of the main family of the vicomtes de Limoges, suggests a connection with the later Comtes de la Marche in which the name is found as “Audebert” (see the document ANGOULEME, LA MARCHE, PERIGORD). There is also a family relationship between the vicomtes de Limoges and the vicomtes d’Aubusson (also in ANGOULEME, LA MARCHE, PERIGORD): Turpion Bishop of Limoges, who donated “villam...Bacallaria...et...unum mansum in curte Wulteziaco in villa...Parciacus” with the consent of “nostris consanguineis seu optimatibus Limovicensi pago...Hildegario vicecomite, Rainaldo vicecomite, Archambaldo, Ademaro” by charter dated to [936/42][564], is described by Adémar de Chabannes as “avunculus” of Robert Vicomte d’Aubusson[565].

1. HRODGAR [Roger?] (-after 778). [Comte] de Limoges. The Vita Hludowici Imperatoris records, around the time of the birth of Louis (778), that “...civitati...præfecit...Albigensibus...Haimonem...”[566].

2. [FOUCHER (-after [888]). [Vicomte de Limoges]. A continuator of the Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records that “Eudes King of France” installed "Fulcherium" at Limoges and "Lemovicinum per vicecomites ordinavit", dated to [888] from the context[567]. The later Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Fulcherius" as first to receive the viscounty of Limoges from King Eudes[568], presumably based on Adémar de Chabannes. The editor of the version of Adémar’s Chronicle consulted comments that the whole section of which this passage forms part “est de pure fantaisie”[569]. Indeed, the same passage also records that King Eudes was “filius Raimundi comitis Lemovicensis” and that he was first consecrated “in Aquitania rex” at Limoges where “coins were struck with his name” in place of his predecessor “Caroli”. This passage appears to confuse King Eudes with Odon Comte de Toulouse, son of Raymond I Comte de Toulouse, who succeeded his father in 886 (see the document TOULOUSE KINGS, DUKES & COUNTS). However, it is possible that Comte Raymond I held Limoges among his other territories and that his son enjoyed the jurisdictional competence to appoint a vicomte de Limoges. This possible confusion was highlighted by Lasteyrie in 1874, Ferdinand Lot explaining how the confusion could have resulted by highlighting three charters relating to property “Orbaciacus” sold by Comte Odon to the archbishop of Bourges, who donated it to Beaulieu abbey, the donation being confirmed by a charter of King Eudes[570]. Lot also argues convincingly that the passage in question could be attributable to Adémar himself, restoring some credibility to the text[571]. Fage dismisses the existence of this Vicomte Foucher, but he is assuming that he was the same person as Foucher Vicomte de Segur who is named in charters dated to the 940s, which is improbable from a chronological point of view[572]. Assuming that this Vicomte Foucher did exist, it is likely that he was closely related to Hildebert, father of Vicomte Hildegaire, maybe his brother. It is possible that he died without direct heirs, the title passing either to Hildbert or to Hildegaire.]

3. HILDEBERT [Audebert] (-[14 May 904/1 May 914]). Emperor Charles II “le Chauve” granted "villas...Cavaliacus...in comitatu Lemovicensi" to "fidelis noster...Hildebertus" by charter dated 17 Jul 876[573]. “Sicbardus et conjuves mea Alaitrudis” sold a vine “infra ur[be Lemov]icino in pago Burgolio in villa...Tedlido” to “Eldeberto [et conjuge] sua Adaltrudis” by charter dated Sep 883[574]. A charter dated 14 May 904 records a judgment by Ebles Comte de Poitou ordering "Aldeberto Lemovicensi" to return “silvam Sanctæ Mariæ...Boerecia” to the abbey of Nouaillé[575]. [Vicomte de Limoges]. He is named as vicomte in his son’s donation dated 1 May 914 (see below), but no primary source has yet been identified which accords him the title during his lifetime. m firstly ADALTRUDE, [sister of GERAUD d'Aurillac, daughter of GERAUD Comte [d’Aurillac] & his wife Adaltrude ---] (-after Sep 883). “Sicbardus et conjuves mea Alaitrudis” sold a vine “infra ur[be Lemov]icino in pago Burgolio in villa...Tedlido” to “Eldeberto [et conjuge] sua Adaltrudis” by charter dated Sep 883[576]. It has been suggested that Adaltrude was the sister of Gérard Comte d’Aurillac[577]. m secondly DEDA, daughter of --- (-after 920). “Deda femina” donated property “in pago Limovicensi in vicaria Novicense in villa...Adiola” to Limoges Saint-Etienne, for the soul of “Hildeberti conjugis mei” and for the damage caused to the church by “filius noster Hildebertus abba”, with the consent of “filio meo Helia”, by charter dated 920, signed by “Dedane...Helie, Eldegarii, Fulcherii, Gerao, Ingelberti, Gozberti, Guillebaldi”[578]. The absence of the viscomital title attributed to Hildebert in this document suggests that Deda’s husband may not have been the same person as Vicomte Hildebert. However, the names of the third, fourth and fifth witnesses, possibly the donor’s step-children, indicate a connection to the vicecomital family. In addition, no other individual of named Hildebert has been noted in the documentation of Limoges Saint-Etienne at that time. Vicomte Hildebert & his first wife had [four] children:

a) HILDEGAIRE (-[943/47]). Vicomte de Limoges. “Eldegarius vicecomes” donated property “in pago Limovicino in vicaria Limovicense...alodem meum...Cavaliacus” to Limoges Saint-Etienne, for the souls of “Aldeberti vicecomiti patri meo necnon et matri meæ...Adaltrude seu Petroni abbati consobrino meo”, by charter dated 1 May 914, signed by “Aldegarii vicecomitis”[579]. “Dedane...Helie, Eldegarii, Fulcherii, Gerao, Ingelberti, Gozberti, Guillebaldi” signed the charter dated 920 under which “Deda femina” donated property “in pago Limovicensi in vicaria Novicense in villa...Adiola” to Limoges Saint-Etienne, for the soul of “Hildeberti conjugis mei” and for the damage caused to the church by “filius noster Hildebertus abba”, with the consent of “filio meo Helia”[580]. The third, fourth and fifth signatories could have been the donor’s stepchildren. “Eldegarii vicecomiti...” witnessed the charter dated Nov 922 under which “Landricus et uxor mea...Ildia” donated property “in pago Limovicino...de Lemovicas civitate in pago Jucunciaco manso...Pereto” to Limoges Saint-Etienne[581]. "Hildegrius Lemouicinorum vicecomes et uxor illius Tetberga" returned "la ville d’Athee" to Tours Saint-Martin in return for "la villa de Brigeuil", by charter dated in the compilation to 884[582]. Roblin states this document should be redated to [923/26][583]. Turpion Bishop of Limoges donated “villam...Bacallaria...et...unum mansum in curte Wulteziaco in villa...Parciacus”, with the consent of “nostris consanguineis seu optimatibus Limovicensi pago...Hildegario vicecomite, Rainaldo vicecomite, Archambaldo, Ademaro”, by charter dated to [936/42][584]. “Ramnulfus” sold property “in urbe Biturcico in vicaria Dunense in villa...Duno” to “Eldejere vescommite et ucxore sua...Tecbergane et Giraldo filium nostrum” by charter dated 15 Mar 941[585]. “Eldegarius vicecomes et uxor mea Teotberga et filii nostri Giraldus et Eldebertus” donated “mansos novem in pago Limovicino vicaria Mansiacense in villa...Benaias” to Limoges Saint-Marcial by charter dated to after 943[586]. [A fragmentary chronicle of the dukes of Aquitaine records a dispute between “vicecomes Ebles de Thoarcio” and “Ademaro in Lemovicensi pago”, dating it to “defuncto Hildegario vicecomite”[587]. Fage points out that Lasteyrie has dated this conflict to 963, and suggests that Vicomte Hildegaire’s death should be dated to shortly before this date[588]. However, this “fragmentary chronicle” is one of a series (discussed in the introduction to the section Du Puy-du-Fou in the document AQUITAINE DUKES) which provide the basis for the genealogy of the Puy-du-Fou family which, according to Richard, was fabricated by René du Puy-du-Fou (and therefore presumably dated to the 1620s/1630s) who also fabricated a chronicle in latin as the supposed primary source which was first published by Augustin du Paz in his Table généalogique de la maison Du Puy-du-Fou in 1639[589]. Parts of these spurious documents include details which can be verified against other primary sources, so the boundaries between historical accuracy and fabrication are difficult to determine. Until more corroboration emerges, it is suggested that this proposed date of death of Vicomte Hildegaire should be treated with caution. m THIBERGE, daughter of --- (-after 943). "Hildegrius Lemouicinorum vicecomes et uxor illius Tetberga" returned "la ville d’Athee" to Tours Saint-Martin in return for "la villa de Brigeuil", by charter dated in the compilation to 884[590]. Roblin states this document should be redated to [923/26][591]. “Ramnulfus” sold property “in urbe Biturcico in vicaria Dunense in villa...Duno” to “Eldejere vescommite et ucxore sua...Tecbergane et Giraldo filium nostrum” by charter dated 15 Mar 941[592]. “Eldegarius vicecomes et uxor mea Teotberga et filii nostri Giraldus et Eldebertus” donated “mansos novem in pago Limovicino vicaria Mansiacense in villa...Benaias” to Limoges Saint-Marcial by charter dated to after 943[593]. Vicomte Hildegaire & his wife had two children:

i) GERAUD (-988). “Ramnulfus” sold property “in urbe Biturcico in vicaria Dunense in villa...Duno” to “Eldejere vescommite et ucxore sua...Tecbergane et Giraldo filium nostrum” by charter dated 15 Mar 941[594]. Vicomte de Limoges 974. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Geraldus" as successor of "Fulcherius" in the viscounty of Limoges[595].

- see below.

ii) HILDEBERT [Audebert] (-after 943). “Eldegarius vicecomes et uxor mea Teotberga et filii nostri Giraldus et Eldebertus” donated “mansos novem in pago Limovicino vicaria Mansiacense in villa...Benaias” to Limoges Saint-Marcial by charter dated to after 943[596].

b) [FOUCHER . “Dedane...Helie, Eldegarii, Fulcherii, Gerao, Ingelberti, Gozberti, Guillebaldi” signed the charter dated 920 under which “Deda femina” donated property “in pago Limovicensi in vicaria Novicense in villa...Adiola” to Limoges Saint-Etienne, for the soul of “Hildeberti conjugis mei” and for the damage caused to the church by “filius noster Hildebertus abba”, with the consent of “filio meo Helia”[597]. The third, fourth and fifth signatories could have been the donor’s stepchildren. [same person as …? FOUCHER (-after [950]). Vicomte de Ségur. The question of this possible co-identity has been much debated. Foucher Vicomte de Ségur is named in two sources dated to the 940s (see the chapter dealing with the Vicomtes de Ségur, below). Fage suggests that he was the son of Hildebert Vicomte de Limoges: he states that “à la mort d’Aldebert, son second fils Foucher...conserva seulement la seigneurie de Ségur qu’il avait receuillie dans la succession paternelle”[598]. However, as can be seen from the 920 charter quoted above, the evidence that Hildebert had a son named Foucher is not conclusive. In support of his argument, Fage also quotes three manuscript versions of the chanson de Gérald de Roussillon which name “e viscoms de Limoges...Girau” (presumably identifiable as Gérard Vicomte de Limoges, son of Vicomte Hildegaire) and state, respectively, that he was “...filz Audoin e neis Fouchau”, “filhs Andevi e nebs Folquau” and “nies Audoin et nies Folquau”[599]. Fage suggests that “Fouchau/Folquau” indicates Foucher Vicomte de Ségur, while glossing over the difficulty of identifying “Audoin/Andevi” with Vicomte Hildegaire. Dated to the 12th/13th centuries, the chansons de geste are noted more for their literary invention than historical accuracy, akin to the present-day genre of the historical novel, although their historical backdrop is generally broadly correct. They constitute a difficult source on which to rely for precise details of family relationships and, as can be seen above, in any case the texts under consideration provide two alternatives. In addition, it is likely that the word “neis/nebs” is as imprecise as “nepos” in Latin, covering both nephew and grandson. The complication in the present case is introduced by the possible existence at the end of the 9th century of Foucher Vicomte de Limoges (see above), which introduces the possibility that the chanson does not refer to the vicomte de Ségur at all but intends to highlight indistinct family relationships between Vicomte Gérard and supposed earlier vicomtes de Limoges. The existence of some family relationship between the vicomtes de Limoges and the vicomtes de Ségur is confirmed by the 11th century charter under which "Ademarus vicecomes et Geraldus vicecomes consanguineus meus" donated “unum mansum...a Meseirac in vicaria Usercensi” to Uzerche[600]. Baluze identifies the donors as Adémar Vicomte de Ségur and Géraud Vicomte de Limoges, suggesting that they were first cousins, sons of two brothers[601]. However, the order of the names of the donors in the document suggests that Adémar was the senior of the two, whereas he would have been junior to Vicomte Gérard if he had been the son of Foucher, younger son of Vicomte Hildegaire. Another possibility is that the relationship between the two families was through the female line, either through Gérard’s mother or one of his grandmothers. The fact that the supposed granddaughter of Vicomte Foucher married the son of Vicomte Gérard suggests that the relationship may have been a more distant one, as the marriage of second cousins at that time would have been unusual. Settipani suggests yet another possibility: that Vicomte Foucher was the nephew of Vicomte Hildegaire[602].

- VICOMTES de SEGUR.

c) [GERARD (-after 920). “Dedane...Helie, Eldegarii, Fulcherii, Gerao, Ingelberti, Gozberti, Guillebaldi” signed the charter dated 920 under which “Deda femina” donated property “in pago Limovicensi in vicaria Novicense in villa...Adiola” to Limoges Saint-Etienne, for the soul of “Hildeberti conjugis mei” and for the damage caused to the church by “filius noster Hildebertus abba”, with the consent of “filio meo Helia”[603]. The third, fourth and fifth signatories could have been the donor’s stepchildren. Settipani assumes that “...Gerao...” in the signatory list was the son of Vicomte Hildegaire, the future Vicomte Géraud[604]. However, the chronology of Vicomte Géraud’s life is inconsistent with his having been old enough to have witnessed a charter in 920. It is more likely that “Gerao”, assuming that he was a member of the vicecomital family, was a younger brother of Vicomte Hildegaire who presumably died soon afterwards as there is no other trace of him in the sources.]

d) [ALTRUDE . A fragmentary chronicle of the dukes of Aquitaine records that "vicecomes Ebles de Thoarcio" married "Hildegaris Lemovincenis vicecomitis filia Altrudis"[605]. It should be noted that the genealogy of the vicomtes de Thouars which is included in this document cannot be fitted into the family which has been reconstructed from other primary sources and is shown in the document. Its accuracy is therefore open to doubt. As discussed above under her supposed father, this “fragmentary chronicle” forms part of a series of documents which was apparently fabricated in the early 17th century. m EBLES de Thouars .]

Vicomte Hildebert & his second wife had two children:

e) HELIE (-after 920). “Deda femina” donated property “in pago Limovicensi in vicaria Novicense in villa...Adiola” to Limoges Saint-Etienne, for the soul of “Hildeberti conjugis mei” and for the damage caused to the church by “filius noster Hildebertus abba”, with the consent of “filio meo Helia”, by charter dated 920[606].

f) HILDEBERT (-before 920). “Deda femina” donated property “in pago Limovicensi in vicaria Novicense in villa...Adiola” to Limoges Saint-Etienne, for the soul of “Hildeberti conjugis mei” and for the damage caused to the church by “filius noster Hildebertus abba”, with the consent of “filio meo Helia”, by charter dated 920[607]. Abbé of Saint-Etienne de Limoges.

The precise relationship between the following person and the preceding family has not been traced. It is possible that he was related through the female line.

1. PETRONUS (-before 1 May 914). “Eldegarius vicecomes” donated property “in pago Limovicino in vicaria Limovicense...alodem meum...Cavaliacus” to Limoges Saint-Etienne, for the souls of “Aldeberti vicecomiti patri meo necnon et matri meæ...Adaltrude seu Petroni abbati consobrino meo”, by charter dated 1 May 914[608]. Abbé of [Saint-Pierre du Queyroix][609].

The following two individuals were members of what appear to have been a second family of vicomtes at Limoges in the 10th century, as mentioned in the introduction to the present chapter. Another possibility is that Vicomte Rainaud was the same person as Rainaud [I] Vicomte d’Aubusson (see the document ANGOULEME, LA MARCHE, PERIGORD), although this does not explain his apparent connection with Archambaud nor their common connection with the property of “Droticus” (see below). Turpion Bishop of Limoges, who describes Vicomte Rainaud among his “consanguineis seu optimatibus” in the charter dated to [936/42] which is quoted below, is described as “avunculus” of Robert Vicomte d’Aubusson in another source.

1. RAINAUD (-after Aug 958). Vicomte [de Limoges]. Turpion Bishop of Limoges donated “villam...Bacallaria...et...unum mansum in curte Wulteziaco in villa...Parciacus”, with the consent of “nostris consanguineis seu optimatibus Limovicensi pago...Hildegario vicecomite, Rainaldo vicecomite, Archambaldo, Ademaro”, by charter dated to [936/42][610]. “Droticus” donated “æcclesiam in pago Lemovicensi in proprio alodo...ad Turrim...sancti Salvatoris” to Limoges Saint-Etienne, in the presence of “seniorum meorum Rainaldi...vicecomitis et Bosonis marchionis” [the latter presumably identified as Boson [I] Comte de la Marche], by charter dated Aug 958[611]. The place named in this document is near the property granted to the donor by Vicomte Archambaud by charter dated 5 Mar 957 (see below), which suggests that Rainaud may have been Archambaud’s co-ruler in his vicomté.

2. ARCHAMBAUD (-after 5 Mar 957). Possible family connections of Archambaud are suggested by the charter dated to [1003/36] under which "Rotbertus de Chatmart et Gaufredus frater eius…Ermesindis et Belieldis uxores eorum, Ebolus et Guido et Geraldus filii Gaufredi, Arcambaldus et Geraldus filii Rotberti" donated property in "manso de Monsor" to Uzerche[612], the connection being "Monsor" [Moussours near Uzerche]. [Turpion Bishop of Limoges donated “villam...Bacallaria...et...unum mansum in curte Wulteziaco in villa...Parciacus”, with the consent of “nostris consanguineis seu optimatibus Limovicensi pago...Hildegario vicecomite, Rainaldo vicecomite, Archambaldo, Ademaro”, by charter dated to [936/42][613]. It is not known whether “Archambaldo” in this document is the same person as the future vicomte but this appears possible.] Vicomte [de Limoges]. “Archambaldus vicecomes et uxor sua Rotildis” sold property “in avocatione sancti Salvatoris et sancta Maria et sancti Austregisili...ecclesia...pago Lemovico in...villa...Ille Cacœria...” to “Droctrico” by charter dated 5 Mar 957[614]. m as her first husband, ROTHILDE, daughter of ---. “Archambaldus vicecomes et uxor sua Rotildis” sold property “in avocatione sancti Salvatoris et sancta Maria et sancti Austregisili...ecclesia...pago Lemovico in...villa...Ille Cacœria...” to “Droctrico” by charter dated 5 Mar 957[615]. She married secondly Géraud Vicomte de Limoges. "Hildegarius Lemovicensium pontifex" granted privileges to Uzerche, naming "genitore meo…domno Geraldo vicecomite necnon et genetrice mea Rotilde…" by charter dated to [970/86][616]. "Rotildis vicecomitissa" donated "mansum…a Monsor…in vicaria Usercensi" to Uzerche, for the souls of "Archambaldi senioris mariti mei" who had given this property to her and "Geraldi vicecomitis senioris mei", by charter dated to [Jul 987/988], witnessed by "filii eiusdem Rothildis, Aldegarius episcopus, Guido, Geraldus, Alduinus abbas et cæteri filii…"[617].

GERAUD, son of HILDEGAIRE Vicomte de Limoges & his wife Thiberge --- (-988). Settipani suggests that Géraud was the fifth signatory in the following document dated 920[618]: “Dedane... Helie, Eldegarii, Fulcherii, Gerao, Ingelberti, Gozberti, Guillebaldi” signed the charter dated 920 under which “Deda femina” donated property “in pago Limovicensi in vicaria Novicense in villa...Adiola” to Limoges Saint-Etienne, for the soul of “Hildeberti conjugis mei” and for the damage caused to the church by “filius noster Hildebertus abba”, with the consent of “filio meo Helia”[619]. However, the chronology of Géraud’s life, particularly the estimated date of his marriage, is inconsistent with his having been old enough to have witnessed a charter in 920. As noted above, it is more likely that “Gerao”, assuming that he was a member of the vicecomital family, was a younger brother of Vicomte Hildegaire. “Ramnulfus” sold property “in urbe Biturcico in vicaria Dunense in villa...Duno” to “Eldejere vescommite et ucxore sua...Tecbergane et Giraldo filium nostrum” by charter dated 15 Mar 941[620]. “Eldegarius vicecomes et uxor mea Teotberga et filii nostri Giraldus et Eldebertus” donated “mansos novem in pago Limovicino vicaria Mansiacense in villa...Benaias” to Limoges Saint-Marcial by charter dated to after 943[621]. Vicomte de Limoges. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Geraldus" as successor of "Fulcherius" in the viscounty of Limoges[622]. "Ademarus vicecomes et Geraldus vicecomes consanguineus meus" donated “unum mansum...a Meseirac in vicaria Usercensi” to Uzerche by charter dated to the 11th century[623]. Baluze identifies the donors as Adémar Vicomte de Ségur and Géraud Vicomte de Limoges, suggesting that they were first cousins, sons of two brothers[624]. The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes names "Geraldo vicecomite et filius eius Widone" when recording that they fought "Helias Petragoricensi comite"[625], although this passage is presumably inaccurate as Hélie [I] Comte de Périgord only succeeded to his county after the death of his father in [1003/12], many years after the death of Vicomte Gérard.

m (after Mar 957) as her second husband, ROTHILDE, widow of ARCHAMBAUD Vicomte ---, daughter of ---. “Archambaldus vicecomes et uxor sua Rotildis” sold property “in pago Lemovico in...villa...Ille Cacœria...” to “Droctrico” by charter dated 5 Mar 957[626]. "Hildegarius Lemovicensium pontifex" granted privileges to Uzerche, naming "genitore meo…domno Geraldo vicecomite necnon et genetrice mea Rotilde…" by charter dated to [970/86][627]. "Rotildis vicecomitissa" donated "mansum…a Monsor…in vicaria Usercensi" to Uzerche, for the souls of "Archambaldi senioris mariti mei" who had given this property to her and "Geraldi vicecomitis senioris mei", by charter dated to [Jul 987/988], witnessed by "filii eiusdem Rothildis, Aldegarius episcopus, Guido, Geraldus, Alduinus abbas et cæteri filii…"[628]. Le Laboureur suggests that Rothilde was “fille et héritière du Vicomte de Brosse et d’une dame nommée Tatberga, qualifiée ayeule du Vicomte Guy dans un titre de l’abbaye d’Userche”[629]. The point relating to “Tatberga” presumably refers to the charter dated Aug 1019 under which "Guido et uxor mea Emma…et filii nostri Geraldus, Ademarus, Petrus" donated "ecclesiam…Sancti Bibiano…a Nioli" to Uzerche, for the souls of "…aviæ meæ Tetiscræ et…patris mei Geraldi et…Rotildis matris meæ"[630]. “Tetiscræ” in this last document is likely to be a mistranscription. If the name was “Tatbergæ”, this probably refers to the paternal grandmother of Vicomte Guy not the mother of Rothilde. Concerning the fundamental point made by Le Laboureur, Settipani has pointed out that no primary source reference is quoted by Le Laboureur to support the statement and suggests that it may be based on an unsound conclusion drawn because the castle of Brosse was held by Rothilde’s descendants and is later recorded as a vicomté[631].

Vicomte Géraud & his wife had [eleven] children:

1. GUY [I] de Limoges (-Limoges 27 Oct 1025, bur Limoges Saint-Martial). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "duo Pontificatum Lemovicensem adepti…Ildegarius et Alduinus, alter Guido…qui Tursturiacensem Abbatiam construxisse narrator, Aimericus de Rupecavardi…Ostofrancus, et Geraldus de Argentonio, Gaufredus…Abbas S. Marcialis" as the children of "Gerardus"[632]. The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes names "Geraldo vicecomite et filius eius Widone" when recording that they fought "Helias Petragoricensi comite"[633]. Ademar names "Widone" son of "Geraldo vicecomite" and, in a later passage, states that he was brother of "episcopus Alduinus Lemovicæ"[634]. "Rotildis vicecomitissa" donated "mansum…a Monsor…in vicaria Usercensi" to Uzerche, for the souls of "Archambaldi senioris mariti mei" who had given this property to her and "Geraldi vicecomitis senioris mei", by charter dated to [Jul 987/988], witnessed by "filii eiusdem Rothildis, Aldegarius episcopus, Guido, Geraldus, Alduinus abbas et cæteri filii…"[635]. He succeeded his father as Vicomte de Limoges.

Bishop of Limoges 976-980. He founded the abbey of Uzerche. "Hildegarius Lemovicensium pontifex" granted privileges to Uzerche, for the souls of "fratris mei Guidonis ac conjugis eius Emmæ", and names "genitore meo…domno Geraldo vicecomite necnon et genetrice mea Rotilde…vicecomes Lemovicensis Ademarus et uxor sua Melissendis", adding that after the death of "predictus Ademarus…gener ipsius Guido" married "filia ipsius…Emma", by charter dated to [970/86], witnessed by "…Archambaldi honorabilis, Sulpiciæ uxoris eius"[638]. “Ramnulf et filii mei Geraldus” sold property in Limoges to “Eldoinus et frater suus Ildegarius episcopus” by charter dated 19 Jun 988[639]. The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records the death, and burial "apud Sanctum Dionisium", of "episcopus Aldegerius Lemovicæ" as well as the election of "pontifex Alduinus frater eius" as his successor[640].

3. AIMERY "Ostofrancus" de Limoges (-[Mar/Aug] 1019).

"Rotildis vicecomitissa" donated "mansum…a Monsor…in vicaria Usercensi" to Uzerche, for the souls of "Archambaldi senioris mariti mei" who had given this property to her and "Geraldi vicecomitis senioris mei", by charter dated to [Jul 987/988], witnessed by "filii eiusdem Rothildis, Aldegarius episcopus, Guido, Geraldus, Alduinus abbas et cæteri filii…"[646]. “Ramnulf et filii mei Geraldus” sold property in Limoges to “Eldoinus et frater suus Ildegarius episcopus” by charter dated 19 Jun 988[647].

8. ADALMODE de Limoges . The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records that "Aldebertus frater [Helias Petragoricensi comite]" married "sorore Widonis vicecomitis"[653]. Ademar records the second marriage of "Adalmode coniuge…Aldeberti" to Duke William[654]. The Chronicle of Petrus Malleacensis records that Adalmodis was wife of Boson Comte du Périgord and daughter of "Candida", for whom Duke Guillaume promised to expand "fluvium Rhodanum Regni" in return for marrying her daughter[655], but this is not consistent with the other sources. According to the Chronicle of Maillezais, Adalmode was the daughter of Adelaide d'Anjou (presumably by her first husband Etienne de Brioude/Gévaudan), and also widow of Boson Comte du Périgord (brother of Comte Audebert [I], whom he survived by several years). Thierry Stasser has shown that this is incorrect[656]. m firstly ([990]) AUDEBERT [I] Comte de La Marche et du Périgord, son of BOSON [I] "le Vieux" Comte de La Marche & his wife Emma de Périgueux (-killed in battle near Gençay 997, bur Carroux). m secondly ([997]) as his first wife, GUILLAUME V Duke of Aquitaine [GUILLAUME III Comte de Poitou], son of GUILLAUME IV "Fier-à-Bras" Duke of Aquitaine [GUILLAUME II Comte de Poitou] & his wife Emma de Blois ([969]-Maillezais 31 Jan 1030, bur Maillezais, Abbaye de Saint-Pie).

This statement is presumably based on the charter dated 1067 under which "Ostencius oppidi Talleburgensis dominus" donated "molendina...et prata et silva" in the territory of Notre-Dame de Saintes, which was “sub potestate duorum militum erat, Guidonis...Lemovicensis nepotis vicecomitis Oenacensis et Helie filii Achardi de Borno”, to the monastery[691].

"Ademarus vicecomes Lemovicensis" donated "ecclesiam de Celom" to Uzerche by charter dated 1068, witnessed by "Umberga uxor Ademari, filii eorum Elias, Petrus et Ademarus"[759]. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Ademarum" as son of "Ademarum" and his wife "Humbergam"[760]. “Ademarus vicecomes Lemovicensis” donated “unum mansum...in parrochia Vineolensis æcclesie...Masliacus” to Limoges Saint-Etienne, with the consent of “meæ uxoris Unberge ac filiorum meorum Helie...ac Petri necnon Adhemari”, by charter dated 1073[761]. The Chronicon Bernardi Iterii records the donation to Saint-Marcial de Limoges by "Ademarus vicecomes Lemovicensis et uxor ipsius Umberga, et filii Petrus et Ademarus" dated 1077[762]. "Ademarus vicecomes" donated "mansum…a La Valetta…in parrochia Sancti Eparchii prope villam de Sadarnac" to Uzerche by charter dated to [1067/90], witnessed by "Ademarus filius prædicti vicecomitis…"[763]. Vicomte de Limoges.

The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis refers to the mother of "Guido filius Ademari vicecomtiis" as "sorore Sectoris-ferri comitis Engolismensis"[772]. It is possible that this passage results from confusion with the first wife of Vicomte Adémar [II], recorded in secondary sources as Humberge d'Angoulême (see above) although her Angoulême origin has not yet been confirmed from primary sources. It is unlikely that the wives of both Vicomtes de Limoges were from the family of the Comtes d'Angoulême. Not only would this mean that the younger Vicomte married his first cousin on his mother's side of the family (few first cousin marriages have been observed in the families of the Aquitainian nobility at that time) but also that Vicomte Adémar [III]'s daughter Emma would have been doubly related to her third husband (assuming that Emma was born from her father's first marriage, which has not yet been verified). If the first wife of Vicomte Adémar [III] was from the Angoulême family, from a chronological point of view her father must have been Comte Guillaume [V] Talafer. m secondly (before 1108) MARIE des Cars, daughter of --- (-after 1124). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Maria de Carrio" as stepmother ("noverca") of "Guido filius Ademari Vicecomitis", adding that she tried to poison her stepson Guy [III] to ensure the succession of her own son[773]. "Ademarus vicecomes Lemovicensium" donated property "la Galmundia…in parrochia Sanctæ Eulaliæ et…in parrochia Sancti Eparchii…A la Prada" to Uzerche, when he sent "clericum consobrinum suum…Stephanum" to Uzerche for his crimes, for the souls of "patris sui Ademari viececomitis et matris suæ Umbergæ", with the consent of "Maria uxor eius", by charter dated to [1097/1108][774]. Vicomte Ademar [III] & his first wife had two children:

a) GUY [III] de Limoges (-1124). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Guillelmo et Helias" as sons of "Ademarum" who died before their father[775]. Another passage of the Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Guido filius Ademari vicecomtiis, de sorore Sectoris-ferri comitis Engolismensis", stating that he was known as "Graul" because of his "deformitatem et nigredinem corporis", and recording that "Maria de Carrio noverca ipsius" gave him poison again and again, wishing to favour the inheritance of "filio Heliæ"[776]. "Ademari…vicecomitis…cum filio suo Guidone" signed a charter dated 7 Oct 1114 relating to the election of the abbot of Saint-Martin de Limoges[777]. "Domnus Ademarus vicecomes Lemovicensis" donated property to the priory of Aureil, for the souls of "filiorum suorum Guidonis et Helie", by charter dated to [1117/39][778]. Vicomte de Limoges. "Ademarus vicecomes Lemovicensium" donated revenue from "ecclesiæ de Celom" to Uzerche, for the souls of "Guidonis et Eliæ…filiorum suorum" by charter dated to [1125/30][779].

b) HUMBERGE dite BRUNISSENT de Limoges . The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "filia Ademari Vicecomitis Lemovicensis, qui Cluniaco Monachus obiit, ex baptismo Humberga, vulgo Brunicenda nominatur" as wife of "Archambaldus", specifying that she was heiress to Limoges after the death of her two brothers[780]. "Ademarus vicecomes Lemovicensis" donated property to Cluny by charter dated 1138, subscribed by "Archimbaldus vicecomes et uxor eius, filia predicti vicecomitis"[781]. "Archambaldus vicecomes" donated property to the abbey of Vigeois for the soul of "patre suo Bernardo vicecomite" with the consent of "sue uxore Brunissen" by charter dated to [1119/24][782]. "Ademarus Lemovicensis vicecomes et…Archambaudus vicecomes de Comborn et …Brunicens uxor eius et filia supradicti Ademari" donated property "in manso Motario" to Notre-Dame de Dalon by charter dated to [1121/38][783]. m ARCHAMBAUD [IV] "le Barbu" Vicomte de Comborn, son of BERNARD [I] Vicomte de Comborn & his second wife Ermengarde --- (-after 1147, bur Tulle).

Ademar [III] & his second wife had two children:

c) HELIE de Limoges (-before 9 Nov [1125/33], bur Limoges). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Guillelmo et Helias" as sons of "Ademarum" who died before their father[784]. Another passage of the Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis implies that Hélie was the son of his father's second marriage when it records that "Maria de Carrio noverca ipsius" (referring to "Guido filius Ademari vicecomtiis, de sorore Sectoris-ferri comitis Engolismensis") gave poison to Guy again and again, wishing to favour the inheritance of "filio Heliæ"[785]. "Domnus Ademarus vicecomes Lemovicensis" donated property to the priory of Aureil, for the souls of "filiorum suorum Guidonis et Helie", by charter dated to [1117/39][786]. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records that Hélie died childless, and was buried "Lemovicæ". "Ademarus vicecomes Lemovicensium" donated revenue from "ecclesiæ de Celom" to Uzerche, for the souls of "Guidonis et Eliæ…filiorum suorum" by charter dated to [1125/30][787].

d) EMMA de Limoges . The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "aliam filiam [Ademari]…Ennoa (seu Emma)" stating that she married "Guillermus Dux, frater Raymundi Antiochiæ principis" after the death of her earlier husband "Bardoni de Coniaco", before being abducted by "Willelmus Sector-ferri, filius Wlgrini Comitis Engolismensis"[788]. It is not certain that Emma was the daughter of Vicomte Adémar [III] by his second marriage. However, if Vicomte Adémar's first wife was a member of the family of the comtes d'Angoûleme (as speculated above), it is unlikely that she would have been Emma's mother, in view of Emma's third marriage. "Emma comitissa, uxor comitis Engolismensis, filia Ademari vicecomitis Lemovicensis" donated property "ripas stagni de Chalamans" to Notre-Dame de Dalon by undated charter[789]. The primary sources which confirm her first two marriages have not so far been identified. m firstly BARDON de Cognac, son of HELIE [II] de Chambarot Seigneur de Cognac & his wife --- (-before 1136). m secondly (1136) as his second 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). m thirdly (after 1137) as his first wife, GUILLAUME d'Angoulême, son of VULGRIN II Comte d'Angoulême & his first wife Pontia de La Marche (-Messina 7 Aug 1179, bur Messina).

5. MELISENDE de Limoges (-after 1096). "Milisendis filiæ Ademari…vicecomitis" authorised the donation by "Petrus de S. Martino et frater eius Petrus Fulcodius" of rights in "Usercensibus de vicaria villæ cum de Campania" to Uzerche by charter dated Feb 1071[790]. "Ademarus vicecomes" donated "duos mansos…unus in villa de Chaleis…ala Picha in parrochia de Iburia, et aliud in parrochia Sancti Eparchii…las Landas" to Uzerche, for "Milisende filia sua" who became a nun at Uzerche, by charter dated 1096[791]. Nun at Uzerche.

6. AIMELINE de Limoges (-after 1073). "Aimilina…germana vicecomitis Ademari, conjuxque…Petri Bellofortis" donated half of "Condatensis ecclesie" to Uzerche by charter dated 16 Jun [1073/86][792]. m PIERRE de Malemort Seigneur de Beaufort, son of --- (-after 1073).

B. VICOMTES de LIMOGES (VICOMTES de COMBORN)

1. GUY de Comborn, son of ARCHAMBAUD [IV] "le Barbu" Vicomte de Comborn & his wife Humberge [Brunissent] de Limoges (-Antioch 1148). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Vicecomes Lemovicensis…Ademarus, alter Combornensis…Archambaldus" as children of "Archambaldus" and his wife "filia Ademari Vicecomitis Lemovicensis…Humberga, vulgo Brunicenda nominatur", a later passage recording an expanded list of the couple's children "Ademarum, Guidonem, Archambaldum, Petrum Assaillit, Heliam, Bernardum decanum de S. Aredio, Mariam abbatissam S. Mariæ de Regula, Beatricem…Almodis…Milicendis primogenita…Helena"[793]. His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated to [1138/48] in which "vicecomitibus Ademaro…et Guidone fratre eius" confirmed the donation of property in "mansi Comborn" to Notre-Dame de Dalon by "Petrus de Montlavini" by charter dated to [1138/48], witnessed by "Ademarus vicecomes et Archembaldus pater eius"[794].

"Guido et Ademarus fratres vicecomites Lemovicenses" confirmed donations of property by "Ademarus vicecomes Lemovicensis avus noster" to Notre-Dame de Dalon by charter dated to [1139/48][795]. Louis VII King of France confirmed him in 1141 as Duke of Aquitaine. "Ademarus vicecomes et…Guido vicecomes" confirmed the donation of "ecclesiam sancti Ylarii de Celom" to Uzerche, for the soul of "antecessoris nostri Ademari vicecomitis", by charter dated 28 Oct 1146[796]. He joined the crusade in 1147. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records the death of "Guido Vicecomes" at Antioch[797]. m MARQUISE de La Marche, daughter of AUDEBERT [III] Comte de La Marche & his wife Orengarde ---. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records that "Guido Vicecomes" married "Marquisia sorore Audeberti Comitis de Marchia" but died childless[798].

2. ADEMAR [IV] de Comborn, son of ARCHAMBAUD [IV] "le Barbu" Vicomte de Comborn & his wife Humberge [Brunissent] de Limoges (-Limoges 1148, bur Limoges Saint-Martial). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Vicecomes Lemovicensis…Ademarus, alter Combornensis…Archambaldus" as children of "Archambaldus" and his wife "filia Ademari Vicecomitis Lemovicensis…Humberga, vulgo Brunicenda nominatur", a later passage recording an expanded list of the couple's children "Ademarum, Guidonem, Archambaldum, Petrum Assaillit, Heliam, Bernardum decanum de S. Aredio, Mariam abbatissam S. Mariæ de Regula, Beatricem…Almodis…Milicendis primogenita…Helena"[799]. His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated to [1138/48] in which "vicecomitibus Ademaro…et Guidone fratre eius" confirmed the donation of property in "mansi Comborn" to Notre-Dame de Dalon by "Petrus de Montlavini" by charter dated to [1138/48], witnessed by "Ademarus vicecomes et Archembaldus pater eius"[800]. Vicomte de Limoges. "Guido et Ademarus fratres vicecomites Lemovicenses" confirmed donations of property by "Ademarus vicecomes Lemovicensis avus noster" to Notre-Dame de Dalon by charter dated to [1139/48][801]. Louis VII King of France confirmed him in 1141 as Duke of Aquitaine. "Ademarus vicecomes et…Guido vicecomes" confirmed the donation of "ecclesiam sancti Ylarii de Celom" to Uzerche, for the soul of "antecessoris nostri Ademari vicecomitis", by charter dated 28 Oct 1146[802]. "Ademarus Lemovicensis vicecomes, nepos…Ademari vicecomitis" donated revenue from "ecclesiæ parrochiæ de Celom" to Uzerche by charter dated Aug 1147, signed by "Elias de Bordella filius meus, Siguinus de Turribus…"[803]. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records the death in Limoges of "Ademarus" (in the same year as his brother Guy), and his burial "iuxta cæteros vicecomites"[804]. m as her first husband, MARGUERITE de Turenne, daughter of RAYMOND [I] Vicomte de Turenne & his wife Mathilde du Perche (-21 Oct [1186/1202]). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Margarita sorore Bosonis de Torenna" as wife of "Brunicendis filius Ademarus"[805]. Her parentage and first marriage are confirmed by the cartulary of Tulle St Martin which records a donation by "Ademarus vicecomes Lemovicensis et Aimericus de Gordo mariti duarum sororum Bosonis, Mangnæ et Margaritæ" dated 21 Dec 1143 made "pro anima Bosonis vicecomitis de Torenna qui gladio corruit" on the day of his burial, authorised by "Ebolus vicecomes de Ventedorn et Archambaldus vicecomes de Comborn", and made "in manu domni Ebali abbatis Tutellensis patrui ipsius Bosonis"[806]. She married secondly (1148 or after, divorced [1150/51]) as his first wife, Ebles [III] Vicomte de Ventadour, and thirdly ([1150/51]) as his second wife, Guillaume VI "Taillefer" Comte d'Angoulême. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records that "Ademaro vicecomite Lemovicensi, sponsam illius Margaretam, sororem Bosonis de Torenna" married "Ebolus Ventadorensis, filius Eboli Cantatoria" after her first husband died, but that the marriage ended after two years because of their consanguinity[807]. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records that "Ademaro vicecomite Lemovicensi, sponsam illius Margaretam, sororem Bosonis de Torenna" married thirdly "Guillermus Sector-ferri Comes Engolismensis, multorum pater liberorum"[808]. "Vuillelmus Talafers comes Engolismensis Vulgrini filius et Margarita uxor mea et filii nostri Vulgrinus scilicet primogenitus noster, Vuillelmus Talafers, Ademarus, Grisetus, Fulco et Almodis filia nostra uxor Amanei de Lebret" transferred rights to Saint-Amant-de-Boixe by charter dated 1171[809]. The necrology of Saint-Martial records the death “XII Kal Nov” of “Margarita Engolismensis comitissa, mater Ademari vicecomitis” and her donation[810]. Vicomte Ademar [IV] & his wife had one child:

a) BOSON dit ADEMAR [V] de Limoges (-murdered 1199). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Ademarum" as son of "Brunicendis filius Ademarus" and his wife "Margarita sorore Bosonis de Torenna"[811]. His name is clarified in a later passage in the Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis which names "Bosonem qui postea, eo quod erat solus, Ademarus vocatus est" as the son of "Ademarus de Margareta filia Rainaldi de Torenna et Mathildis"[812]. "Ademarus filius Ademari vicecomitis" confirmed donations of property by his ancestors to Notre-Dame de Dalon by undated charter dated to [1148/99][813]. He succeeded his father in 1148 as Vicomte de Limoges.

- see below.

Vicomte Ademar [IV] had one [probably illegitimate child] by [an unknown mistress]:

b) HELIE de Bordel (-after Aug 1147). "Ademarus Lemovicensis vicecomes, nepos…Ademari vicecomitis" donated revenue from "ecclesiæ parrochiæ de Celom" to Uzerche by charter dated Aug 1147, signed by "Elias de Bordella filius meus, Siguinus de Turribus…"[814]. It is assumed that Hélie was illegitimate.

BOSON dit ADEMAR [V] de Limoges, son of ADEMAR [IV] Vicomte de Limoges & his wife Marguerite de Turenne (-murdered 1199). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Ademarum" as son of "Brunicendis filius Ademarus" and his wife "Margarita sorore Bosonis de Torenna"[815]. "Ademarus filius Ademari vicecomitis" confirmed donations of property by his ancestors to Notre-Dame de Dalon by undated charter dated to [1148/99][816]. He succeeded his father in 1148 as Vicomte de Limoges. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records that Henry II King of England granted "terram vicecomitis Ademari [Limoges]" to "Gaufredo de Novo-burgo…frater Rotrodis comes Perticæ, et Guillermo qui cognominabatur Pandolf" after this accession[817], presumably during the minority of Vicomte Boson Adémar [V] although the passage does not specify this. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records that "Guillermus filius Wlgrimi Comes Engolismensis, Ademarus Vicecomes Lemovicensis, Oliverius filius Gulpherii senioris de Turribus" were among those who left for Jerusalem in 1178[818]. "Ademarus Lemocicensis vicecomes" donated property rights in "Banac" to Notre-Dame de Dalon before leaving for Jerusalem, by charter dated 10 Jul 1179, witnessed by "Raimundus vicecomes Torenensis, Eblo vicecomes de Ventedorn…Eschivaz de Chabanes…"[819]. "Ademarus vicecomes Lemovicensis" confirmed the donations made by his ancestors to Notre-Dame de Dalon by charter dated 1184[820]. "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…"[821]. "Ademarus vicecomes Lemovicensis…et Guido filius eius" witnessed a charter dated 1192 under which "Guido Archambaudi de Felitio" donated property to Notre-Dame de Dalon[822]. The Chronicon Bernardi Iterii records the death in 1199 of "Ademarus vicecomes senior"[823]. He was murdered allegedly by Philippe Seigneur de Cognac who considered Vicomte Ademar responsible for the death of his father Richard I King of England[824]. Roger of Hoveden records in 1199 that "Philippus filius Ricardi regis Angliæ nothus", to whom the king had granted "castellum et honorem de Cuinac", killed "vicecomitem de Limoges" in revenge for his father’s death[825].

m ([1154/56]) SARAH of Cornwall, daughter of RENAUD [de Dunstanville] Earl of Cornwall & his wife Beatrice FitzWilliam (after [1141]-1216, bur Saint-Yrieux de la Perche). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records that Henry II King of England arranged the marriage of "Ademarum" and "consanguineam suam Sarram filiam Roberti Comitis de Glocestria"[826], although it is difficult chronologically for Sarah to have been the daughter of Earl Robert. Her paternity is clarified in a later passage of the Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis which records that Henry II King of England returned his territories to Adémar and arranged his marriage to "Sara una ex tribus filiabus Rainaldi Comitis de Cornouailla"[827]. King John ordered the bishop of Winchester to grant “medietate manerii de Thiwernehy...in Cornub, sic eam habuit tempre H Reg patris nostro de dono suo in maritagium cum Vic Limovic” to “Sarre matris Vicecom Limovic filie Com Regin de Cornub”, dated 27 Aug 1214[828]. The Chronicon Bernardi Iterii records the death in 1216 of "Sarra vicecomitissa"[829]. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records the death "anno 1216" of "Sara" and her burial "in festo S. Columbani…apud S. Aredium"[830].

Vicomte Ademar [V] & his wife had seven children:

1. MARGUERITE ([1154/56]-). 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 Marguerite married "filio Aimerici de Rupecavardi" and afterwards "filio Audeberti Petragorici comitis"[831]. The reconstruction of her supposed descendants in the Rochechouart chapter, if correct, suggests that Marguerite must have been one of her parents’ oldest children. Another possibility is that she was born from an earlier, otherwise unrecorded, marriage of her father. It is not possible to identify the "Audeberti Petragorici comitis" who is named in the Chronicon, the only known counts of this name having existed at an earlier period. This is somewhat surprising as the Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis appears generally accurate in its genealogical details. The correct identity of Marguerite’s second husband as Hélie [VII] Comte de Périgord is suggested by the charter dated [1228/29] under which "Archambauz coms de Peregurs fils n'El Talairan et neps al vescomte de Lemotges" donated property "lo moli Sancti Martialis que Peir Vegers tenia" to Notre-Dame de Chancelade[832]. From a chronological point of view, this appears to be the best solution from among the comtes de Périgord who are known from other primary sources. However, it should be emphasised that the issue is not without doubt, firstly in light of the usual confusion about the translation of the word "neps/nepos", secondly because the vicomte de Limoges in question is not named, and thirdly because there remains the possibility that another "Audebert" in the Périgord family also bore the title "comte", unrecorded in other sources so far identified (see for example Audebert, son of Boson [IV] Comte de Périgord). m firstly (before [1168/70]) --- de Rochechouart, son of AIMERY [VI] [Vicomte] de Rochechouart & his wife ---. m secondly (before [1180/85]) [HELIE [VII] TALAIRAND Comte de Périgord, son of HELIE [VI] TALAIRAND Comte de Périgord & his wife Raymonde de Turenne-Ribérac ([1155/60]-before 1211).]

2. ADEMAR (-1195). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Guidonem, Ademarum et Guillermum…Peregrinus…filiam Margaretam…Aquiliam…Humbergam…Mariam" as children of "Ademarum" and his wife "Sarram"[833]. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records that "Ademarus Vicecomes Lemovicensis adolescens…fecit Abbati Petro hominium solemniter in Capitulo", dated to [1165] from the context[834]. The Chronicon Bernardi Iterii records the death in 1195 of "Ademarus junior vicecomes Lemovicensis"[835]. On the assumption that the passage refers to a son of Ademar [V], it most likely that Ademar was his oldest son who was installed as joint Vicomte during the lifetime of his father.

3. GUY [V] (-Avignon 29 Mar 1230, bur Limoges Saint-Marcial). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Guidonem, Ademarum et Guillermum…Peregrinus…filiam Margaretam…Aquiliam…Humbergam…Mariam" as children of "Ademarum" and his wife "Sarram"[836]. "Guido filius Ademari vicecomitis" confirmed the donation by "Ademarus Lemocicensis vicecomes" of property rights in "Banac" to Notre-Dame de Dalon before leaving for Jerusalem, by charter dated [after 10 Jul 1179][837]. "Ademarus vicecomes Lemovicensis cum filiis suis" prohibited a construction at Uzerche monastery by charter dated 1187, witnessed by "Guido filius vicecomitis…"[838]. "Ademarus vicecomes Lemovicensis…et Guido filius eius" witnessed a charter dated 1192 under which "Guido Archambaudi de Felitio" donated property to Notre-Dame de Dalon[839]. Vicomte de Limoges. "Guido vicecomes Lemovicensis" donated property in "manso Motarii" to Notre-Dame de Dalon by charter dated 1202[840]. The Chronicon Bernardi Iterii records the death "IV Kal Apr" in 1229 of "Guido vicecomes Lemovicensis"[841]. The Majus Chronicon Lemovicense records the death in 1230 of "Guido vicecomes Lemovicensis" and his burial "in capella Sancti Martialis Lemovicensis"[842]. m firstly --- d'Auvergne, daughter of ROBERT [IV] Comte d'Auvergne & his wife Mathilde de Bourgogne [Capet] (-1210). The Chronicon Bernardi Iterii records the death in 1210 of "uxor Guidonis comitis Lemovicensis, que fuit soror comitis Arvernorum"[843]. m secondly ERMENGARDE, daughter of --- (-[20 Aug] [1263]). "Gui vicomte de Limoges" confirmed his previous donations to Notre-Dame de Dalon and those of "sa…mère Ermenjart", and adds a donation for the soul of "sa sœur Marie", by charter dated 29 Jul 1249[844]. The primary source which confirms her family origin has not been identified. An indication of her family connections is provided by the dispensation issued by Pope Innocent IV at the request of “H. vicecomitissa Lemovicensi, ipsorum consanguineo” for the marriage between “Dalmatio...filii Gualfridi Dalmatii domini de Burg Dau” and “Ysabelle sponse tue” despite 3^o consanguinity, dated 21 May 1248, for the marriage[845]. The necrology of Saint-Martial records the death “XIII Kal Sep” of “vicecomitissa mater Guidonis”[846]. The editor of the compilation consulted suggests that this entry refers to the mother of Vicomte Guy [VI] but gives no indication why it could not apply to any of the other vicomtes de Limoges named Guy. Vicomte Guy [V] & his first wife had one child:

a) ADEMAR (--1223). The Chronicon Bernardi Iterii records the death in 1223 of "Ademarus vicecomes junior", in a later passage naming him "Ademarus unigenitus filius Guidonis vicecomitis Lemovicensis"[847].

Vicomte Guy [V] & his [first/second] wife had one child:

b) MARGUERITE ([1210/15]-9 Sep 1259, bur Châtenet). Her marriage date is estimated from her oldest son being a minor when her husband died, as suggested by the charter dated Sep 1245 quoted below. “Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart, Aimery son fils, et Marguerite femme du dit fils” reached agreement with “Guy vicomte de Limoges” to abandon “au dit vicomte de Limoges les domaines de Gorre, Oradour, Cussac, Cuffares, le droit en la forêt de Treus, la moitié du domaine de Maraval” by charter 3 Apr 1242[848]. “Margarita vicecomitissa Rupis Cauardi” swore homage to Alphonse Comte de Poitou for “castro Ruppis Cauardi...et de castro Perusii” by charter dated Sep 1245[849]. The fact that Marguerite swore homage instead of her son suggests that the latter was still a minor at that date. “Aymericus de Rupecavardi vice-comes domicellus” confirmed a donation to Limoges, naming "Margaritam vice-comitissam Rupis-Cavardi matrem nostram et Aymericum de Castronovo et Aymericum de Panta milites", by charter dated 1 Jun 1251[850]. The testament of “la vicomtesse Marguerite”, dated Jul 1252, chose her burial "en la chapelle du Châtenet, au tombeau de feu son mary", bequeathed "trente livres de rente à Guillaume de Rochechouart son fils sur la terre qu’elle reçut en dot dans la vicomté de Limoges, avec la vigne qu’elle avoit acquise d’Adhémar de Maumont chevalier…à son déffaut à Guy de Rochechouart son fils et en outre…avec une coupe d’argent doré qui luy seroit donnée lorsqu’il sera armé chevalier", to "Adhémar de Rochechouart son fils cinquante livres de rente à prendre sur celle de cent livres que luy avoit donnée le comte de Poitiers", ordered that "Guy, Adhémar et Simon ses fils soient substitués les uns aux autres, en cas de mort sans hoirs", bequeathed "à Foucaud son autre fils, cinquante livres sur les biens de Cussac…dès qu’il aura atteint l’âge de seize ans", her lands "qu’elle avoit eues de ses père et mère à Aimery son fils aîné", made a bequest to "Marguerite sa nièce, fille de Guy son frère pour la faire religieuse", and named as executors "Guy de la Roche son gendre…son seigneur le vicomte de Limoges son frère…"[851]. An epitaph in the church of Saint-Yrieix records the death “in die Sancti Aredii” of “Aimericus de Rupe-Cavardo, maritus Margaritæ, filiæ Guidonis vicecomitis Lemovicensis” and the death 9 Sep 1259 of “Margarita”[852]. m ([1225/28]) AIMERY [X] Vicomte de Rochechouart , son of AIMERY [IX] Vicomte de Rochechouart & his wife --- [de Mortemart] ([1205]-25 Aug 1245, bur Châtenet).

Vicomte Guy [V] & his [second] wife had one child:

c) MARIE (-before 1255). The chronology of her descendants suggests that Marie was born from her father’s second marriage, although that is not beyond all doubt. "Gui vicomte de Limoges" confirmed his previous donations to Notre-Dame de Dalon and those of "sa…mère Ermenjart", and adds a donation for the soul of "sa sœur Marie", by charter dated 29 Jul 1249[853]. An anonymous Chronicon of Saint-Marcial records that "Maria, sorore Guidonis, vicecomitis Lemovicensis" married "Archambladus vicecomes Comborum", when recording the death of the latter in 1277 and the succession of "Guido primogenitus suus", commenting that Guy married firstly "Amissiam filiam Echivati de Cabanisio" during the lifetime of his father and after her death "Almodiam filiam Gaufredi de Thouvaz"[854]. m as his first wife, ARCHAMBAUD [VII] Vicomte de Comborn, son of BERNARD [II] Vicomte de Comborn & his wife Marguerite de Turenne (-1277).

Vicomte Guy [V] & his second wife had one child:

d) GUY [VI] "le Preux" (after 1223-Brantôme, Dordogne 13 Aug 1263, bur Limoges, église Saint-Martial). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Guidonem Probem" as son of "Guido"[855]. His birth date is confirmed by his older half-brother being described as “unigenitus filius” in the record of his death quoted above. Vicomte de Limoges. “Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart, Aimery son fils, et Marguerite femme dudit fils” reached agreement with “Guy vicomte de Limoges” to abandon “audit vicomte de Limoges les domaines de Gorre, Oradour, Cussac, Cuffares, le droit en la forêt de Treus, la moitié du domaine de Marval” by charter 3 Apr 1242[856]. “Guido vicomes Lemovicensis” and “Aymericum vicecomitem Rupis Cavardi sororium nostrum” agreed their respective rights in the forest of Trein by charter dated 1244[857]. "Gui vicomte de Limoges" confirmed his previous donations to Notre-Dame de Dalon and those of "sa…mère Ermenjart", and adds a donation for the soul of "sa sœur Marie", by charter dated 29 Jul 1249[858]. The Brevissimum Chronicon of Saint-Marcial records the death in 1263 of "Guido vicecomes Lemovicensis"[859]. The Majus Chronicon Lemovicense records the death "Id Aug" in 1263 of "vicecomes...apud Brantome" during the siege of the place[860]. m firstly --- de Blazon, daughter of THIERRY de Blazon Seneschal de Poitou & his wife --- (-before 1258). The Majus Chronicon Lemovicense records in 1143 that "vicecomitissa Lemovicensis, filia Tilberi de Blason, quæ dicebatur consanguinea Reginæ Franciæ", being childless by her husband, faked a pregnancy and took a child of "filiam cujusdam coloni Parochiani de Bessenhac", but the vicomte imprisoned her on suspicion of adultery, the truth being revealed after a supposed collaborator in concealing the adultery was burned alive “apud Hahen“ whereupon the vicomtesse was released on the intervention “per Reginam“[861]. Roblin highlights two 17th century transcriptions of the same source which specify what appears to be the correct date of 1243, indicating that the "vicecomitissa Lemovicensis" in question must have been the wife of Vicomte Guy [VI][862]. He also highlights that the revised date is corroborated by the appearance in [1230] of Thibaud de Blaizon, sénéchal de Poitou, who received hommage from various dignitaries in Limousin in the name of the French king. m secondly ([1258]) as her second husband, MARGUERITE de Bourgogne, widow of GUILLAUME [III] Seigneur de Mont-Saint-Jean, daughter of HUGUES IV Duke of Burgundy & his first wife Yolande de Dreux (-27 Aug 1277). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Margarita filia Ducis Burgundiæ" as wife of "Guidonem Probem"[863]. Marvaud records that Marguerite de Bourgogne, widow of Guy [VI] Vicomte de Limoges, swore homage to Raymond Bishop of Angoulême at Montbron on behalf of her daughter Marie, by charter dated 1265[864]: he cites “Gall. christ., Instrumenta Ecclesiæ Engol.” (no page reference), but the corresponding source was not found[865]. An anonymous Chronicon of Saint-Marcial records that "Margarita filia ducis Burgundie et vicecomitissa Lemovicensis" subjugated the castle of Limoges in 1274[866]. Dame de Molinot, by grant of her father as dowry, in return for her first husband transferring his rights to Vergy to her father. Her subjects at Molinot rebelled against her in 1265, her father helping her to crush the revolt[867]. The testament of “Hugo dux Burgundiæ”, dated Sep 1272, bequeathed property to “Margaretam filiam meam vicecomitissam Lemovicensem”[868]. A fragment written by Bernard Guidonis records that "domina Margarita vicecomitissa Lemovicensis, filia ducis Burgundiæ, relicta...domini Guidonis vicecomitis Lemovicensis" founded the monastery "locum Sancti Pardulphi in Petragoricensi diœcesi, in confinio Lemovicensi"[869]. An anonymous Chronicon of Saint-Marcial records the death "mense Augusti die Veneris pos festum beati Bartholomei" of "Margarita vicecomitissa Lemovicensis"[870]. Vicomte Guy [VI] & his first wife had one child:

i) MARGUERITE (after 1243-[Jul 1252/Aug 1263]). Her parentage is confirmed by the testament of [her paternal aunt] “la vicomtesse Marguerite”, dated Jul 1252, which made a bequest to "Marguerite sa nièce, fille de Guy son frère pour la faire religieuse"[871]. She was presumably born after the episode of her mother’s fake pregnancy, recounted above, and died before her father.

Vicomte Guy [VI] & his second wife had one child:

ii) MARIE ([1260]-1292). The Majus Chronicon Lemovicense records that "unicam filiam" was only three years old when her father died in 1263[872]. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Mariam unicam hæredem" as daughter of "Guidonem Probem" and his wife "Margarita filia Ducis Burgundiæ", recording that she was betrothed to "Ludovicus Rex Francorum filio suo Roberto" in 1270[873]. The Majus Chronicon Lemovicense records the birth in 1256 of "Robertus filius Ludovici...regis" and his betrothal to "filia vicecomitis Lemovicensis"[874].

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. m as his [first] wife, GEOFFROY de Lusignan Seigneur de Vouvent, son of HUGUES [VIII] "le Brun" Seigneur de Lusignan & his wife Bourgogne de Rancon (-1216).

Courcelles reproduces the same information but cites no sources either[943]. m EBLES de Ventadour, son of EBLES [VII] Vicomte de Ventadour & his wife [Blanche de Châteauneuf] (-after 1310).

Some time after the mid-13th century, the seigneurie de Malemort was divided between several co-heirs, as demonstrated by the charter dated Aug 1337 quoted below. The precise descent of these different lines from the main Malemort family has not been traced.

1. JEAN de Comminges, son of BERNARD [VII] Comte de Comminges & his third wife Mathe de l'Isle-Jourdain ([Apr 1335/1336]-[Aug 1337/20 Aug 1340], bur Monastery Sainte-Cécile). Co-seigneur de Malemort et de Brive. His right to share in the seigneurie de Malemort presumably derived from his inheritance of the properties of Marguerite de Turenne, second wife of his father. “Giraldus de Venthedoro miles dominus de Donzenaco condominusque de Malamorte et Matha de Insula tutrix...Iohannis...comitis Convenarum et vicecomitis de Turenæ, condominusque de Malamorte et de Briva et Geraldus de Malamorte dominus de S. Hilario condominusque de Malamorte et Geraldus de Malamorte junior dominus de Vergino condominus de Malamorte et Guido de Sancto Michaele miles condominus de Malamorte” reached agreement with the priory of Brives regarding certain property by charter dated Aug 1337[946].

2. GERAUD de Malemort . Seigneur de Saint-Hilaire. Co-seigneur de Malemort. “Giraldus de Venthedoro miles dominus de Donzenaco condominusque de Malamorte et Matha de Insula tutrix...Iohannis...comitis Convenarum et vicecomitis de Turenæ, condominusque de Malamorte et de Briva et Geraldus de Malamorte dominus de S. Hilario condominusque de Malamorte et Geraldus de Malamorte junior dominus de Vergino condominus de Malamorte et Guido de Sancto Michaele miles condominus de Malamorte” reached agreement with the priory of Brives regarding certain property by charter dated Aug 1337[947].

3. GERAUD de Malemort “junior” . Seigneur de Vergin. Co-seigneur de Malemort. “Giraldus de Venthedoro miles dominus de Donzenaco condominusque de Malamorte et Matha de Insula tutrix...Iohannis...comitis Convenarum et vicecomitis de Turenæ, condominusque de Malamorte et de Briva et Geraldus de Malamorte dominus de S. Hilario condominusque de Malamorte et Geraldus de Malamorte junior dominus de Vergino condominus de Malamorte et Guido de Sancto Michaele miles condominus de Malamorte” reached agreement with the priory of Brives regarding certain property by charter dated Aug 1337[948]. It is assumed that “junior” as applied to Géraud in this document, did not signify that he was the son of the other Géraud de Malemort, named immediately before him. Maybe they were cousins, deriving their joint rights in Malemort from different ancestors, with Géraud “junior” belonging to a junior branch of the family.

4. GUY de Saint-Michel . Co-seigneur de Malemort. “Giraldus de Venthedoro miles dominus de Donzenaco condominusque de Malamorte et Matha de Insula tutrix...Iohannis...comitis Convenarum et vicecomitis de Turenæ, condominusque de Malamorte et de Briva et Geraldus de Malamorte dominus de S. Hilario condominusque de Malamorte et Geraldus de Malamorte junior dominus de Vergino condominus de Malamorte et Guido de Sancto Michaele miles condominus de Malamorte” reached agreement with the priory of Brives regarding certain property by charter dated Aug 1337[949].

Chapter 7. SEIGNEURS de PIERRE-BUFFIERE

Pierre-Buffière is located south-east of Limoges. The family of the seigneurs de Pierre-Buffière is difficult to reconstruct because of the repetitive use of the names Gaucelin and Pierre.

a) PIERRE de Pierre-Buffière (-after 25 Nov 1308). Seigneur de Châteauneuf-la-Forêt. A charter dated “le jeudi avant la Sainte Catherine” (25 Nov) 1308 records an agreement between “Pierre de Pierre-Buffière seigneur de Châteauneuf damoiseau” and “Golfier de Lastours écuyer seigneur de Linars” concerning “[le] bois de Beaumaneix”[998].

Chapter 8. VICOMTES de ROCHECHOUART

The town and castle of Rochechouart are situated due west of Limoges. The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records that Guillaume II Duke of Aquitaine granted "vicecomitatum Mellensem et Oenacensem et Rocacardensem honoremque Cabannensem et Confolentis, Roffiacum" to Guillaume [II] Comte d’Angoulême, presumably dated to the 940s[999]. No record has been found at that time of any named vicomte at Rochechouart. The first recorded head of the family was Aimery “Ostofrancus”, one of the sons of Gérard Vicomte de Limoges, although no information has been found to explain how Rochechouart was transferred from the suzerainty of the comtes d’Angoulême to the vicomtes de Limoges. Maybe the castle formed part of the territories inherited from Aimery’s mother or that it was part of the dowry Aimery received with his wife, in which case one of these ladies may have been descended from Guillaume [II] Comte d’Angoulême.

A detailed history of the Rochechouart family was written in the mid-19th century by General Louis-Victor-Léon de Rochechouart[1000]. The General is thorough in citing and quoting primary sources, although some of his conclusions are incompatible with other primary source data which has been examined during the compilation of the present document. Among the documents consulted by the General are the collection of extracts from the archives of the château de Rochechouart made by Dom Villevieille in 1785[1001]. It seems that many of the original archive documents no longer exist so this collection represents all that remains of the information in question.

Early 18th century secondary sources, notably Père Anselme, show a continuous succession of “vicomtes” de Rochechouart, father to son, between 1019 and the mid-13th century, all the holders of the title being named Aimery. As will be seen below, the primary sources identified during this period do not support this descent. No sources have been found which confirm the parentage of several of the 11th to 13th century heads of the family, while other documents point to a completely different, more complex, family reconstruction, which is suggested below. It should also be noted that very few of the earlier sources accord the vicecomital title to any members of the family. The title “vicomte de Rochechouart” was only used continuously from sources after [1230], which suggests that it was confirmed to the family (or tacitly acknowledged) by Henry III King of England as part of a strategy to forge alliances with the local nobility in south-western France.

AIMERY "Ostofrancus" de Limoges, son of GERARD Vicomte de Limoges & his wife Rothilde --- (-[Mar/Aug] 1019). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "duo Pontificatum Lemovicensem adepti…Ildegarius et Alduinus, alter Guido…qui Tursturiacensem Abbatiam construxisse narrator, Aimericus de Rupecavardi…Ostofrancus, et Geraldus de Argentonio, Gaufredus…Abbas S. Marcialis" as the children of "Gerardus"[1002]. "Aimericus Ostifrancs" donated half the church at "Nioll" to Uzerche, for the souls of "patris mei Geraldi et matris meæ…Rotildis", by charter dated Mar 1019, signed by "Ava uxoris suæ, Aimerici filii sui, Geraldi fratris eius…"[1003]. The date of his death is suggested by the document dated Aug 1019 in which his wife and two sons are apparently named (see below).

m AVA, daughter of --- (-after Mar 1019). "Aimericus Ostifrancs" donated half the church at "Nioll" to Uzerche, for the souls of "patris mei Geraldi et matris meæ…Rotildis", by charter dated Mar 1019, signed by "Ava uxoris suæ, Aimerici filii sui, Geraldi fratris eius…"[1004]. "…Rotildis, Aimerici filii sui, Fulchaldi de Rocha, Guidonis filii sui, Ademari fratris eius, Ava filiæ, Aimerici filii sui, Geraldi" signed the charter dated Aug 1019 under which "Guido et uxor mea Emma…et filii nostri Geraldus, Ademarus, Petrus" donated "ecclesiam…Sancti Bibiano…a Nioli" to Uzerche[1005]. "…Ava filiæ, Aimerici filii sui, Geraldi" in the list of subscribers appears to refer to the wife of Aimery [I] de Rochechouart and her two sons. The word "filiæ" is not referred to any other word, indicating an omission or a mistranscription. A footnote in the compilation consulted quotes another copy of the same document which names "Ava femina"[1006]. If this identification is correct, Ava’s husband must presumably have predeceased the document.

Aimery [I] & his wife had [four] children:

1. AIMERY [II] de Rochechouart (-murdered [1049/50]). "Aimericus Ostifrancs" donated half the church at "Nioll" to Uzerche, for the souls of "patris mei Geraldi et matris meæ…Rotildis", by charter dated Mar 1019, signed by "Ava uxoris suæ, Aimerici filii sui, Geraldi fratris eius…"[1007]. "…Ava filiæ, Aimerici filii sui, Geraldi" signed the charter dated Aug 1019 under which "Guido et uxor mea Emma…et filii nostri Geraldus, Ademarus, Petrus" donated "ecclesiam…Sancti Bibiano…a Nioli" to Uzerche[1008]. “Aimerici de Roca Coart...” witnessed the charter dated 1027 under which “Tesalga” donated “æcclesiam de Buxolio” to Limoges Saint-Etienne[1009]. "Aimericus et frater meus Geraldus et uxor mea Ermesindis" donated half the church at "Nioll" to Uzerche, for the soul of "patris nostri Aimerici", by charter dated to [1030/50][1010]. "...Aimerici de Rupe Choart..." subscribed the charter dated 1047 under which "Goffredus comes et uxor mea Agnes" founded Notre-Dame de Saintes and donated numerous properties[1011]. An undated charter records confirmations made to Uzerche by "Aimiricus de Rocachaart vicecomes" and adds that, after his donation of "sylvam Despinaciosa", he was killed ("subita gladii morte") by an unknown enemy (“nescio a quo suo inimico”)[1012]. Général de Rochechouart dates his death to [1049/50], supposedly based on the dating of the charter dated to [1049/75] which is quoted below[1013]. m ERMESENDE, daughter of [FOUCAUD Seigneur de Champagnac & his wife ---]. "Aimericus et frater meus Geraldus et uxor mea Ermesindis" donated half the church at "Nioll" to Uzerche, for the soul of "patris nostri Aimerici", by charter dated to [1030/50][1014]. Général de Rochechouart states that Aimery [II] married “Ermesinde, fille et unique et héritière de Foucaud, seigneur de Champagnac” but he does not cite the primary source on which this statement is based[1015]. Presumably this is based on Le Laboureur who names “Ermessinde...fille de Foucaut S. de Champagnac” as the wife of Vicomte Aimery [II] without citing any primary source[1016]. The statement may be speculative based on the couple’s second son Hildegaire being named "Ildegarius de Champania" in a charter of Uzerche dated to [1085][1017]. Until more data emerges, Ermesende’s supposed parentage is shown here in square brackets. Another possibility is that Ermesende was the daughter of Adaicius Vicomte de Fronsac, as discussed more fully under Aimery [II]’s supposed younger brother. Aimery [II] & his wife had [four] children:

a) AIMERY [III] (-[before 1091]). A charter dated to [1049/75] records that, after the death of "Aimirici de Rochachavard", "filius eius Aimiricus de Rochacavart" succeeded to "honorem patris sui" and confirmed the donation of the church at "Nioll" to Uzerche by "Aimiricus Ostafrancs et Guido atque Tisalga, Aldiardis, Calva quoque soror eorum" for the souls of "patris sui G. vicecomitis et Rotildis vicecomitissæ matris eorum"[1018]. “Aimericus de Rocoardo filius Ermesinde” agreed with “Icterio episcopo et Amelio præposito pro monasterium Sancti Juniani” to relinquish claims to “burgo Sancti Juniani”, except for those acquired by “Aimericus suus avus cum Auduino fratri suo episcopo”, by charter dated to [1060][1019].

- see below.

b) HILDEGAIRE (-1100 or after). "Ildegarius de Champania et uxor mea Arsendis…et filii mei Per. et Aimiricus" donated a wood "Fagia" between "ecclesiam Niolii et ecclesiam Soels" to Uzerche by charter dated to [1085][1020]. Vicomte [de Champagnac]. "Ildegarius vicecomes filius Aimirici de Rochachavard" confirmed donations of "ecclesia de Nioll et curte de Tollans…et villam de Spinaciosa" to Uzerche by charter dated to [1091], which mentions past donations by "frater suus Aimiricus de Rochecavard"[1021]. m ARSENDE, daughter of --- (-after [1085]). "Ildegarius de Champania et uxor mea Arsendis…et filii mei Per. et Aimiricus" donated a wood "Fagia" between "ecclesiam Niolii et ecclesiam Soels" to Uzerche by charter dated 1085[1022]. Hildegaire & his wife had two children:

i) PIERRE (-after [1085]). "Ildegarius de Champania et uxor mea Arsendis…et filii mei Per. et Aimiricus" donated a wood "Fagia" between "ecclesiam Niolii et ecclesiam Soels" to Uzerche by charter dated 1085[1023].

ii) AIMERY (-after [1085]). "Ildegarius de Champania et uxor mea Arsendis…et filii mei Per. et Aimiricus" donated a wood "Fagia" between "ecclesiam Niolii et ecclesiam Soels" to Uzerche by charter dated 1085[1024].

c) ROTBURGE (-1099 or after). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Rotberga sorore Vicecomitis de Rupecavardi" as wife of "Archimbaldus qui vindicavit patrem et occidit fratrem"[1025]. "Archambaldi vicecomitis" claimed a serf from Uzerche by charter dated to [1003/36], signed by "Eboli fratris sui, Rotberti fratris sui, Rotbergæ uxoris eius, Archambaldi filii sui…"[1026]. The cartulary of Tulle St Martin records a donation by "Archambaldus et frater meus Ebalus et mater nostra Rotberga" made "pro anima patris nostri Archambaldi qui gladio corruit in die sepultaræ eius" dated Feb [1059] subscribed by "vicecomitum de Comborn Archambaldi, Ebali et Bernardi et Rotberganæ matre eorum"[1027]. "Vicecomes Arcambaldus" donated "ecclesiam de Maismac" to Uzerche, with the consent of "mater mea Rotberga et Ermengardis uxor quondam mea, fraterque meus Bernardus et filius meus Ebolus" but excluding "frater meus Ebolus" who withheld his consent, by charter dated 3 Feb 1085[1028]. The cartulary of Tulle St Martin records a donation by "Rotberga vicecomitissa" dated 1088 which also names "filio suo Bernardo"[1029]. The cartulary of Tulle St Martin records a donation by "Rotberga vicecomitissa" dated 1099 which also names "Bernardus vicecomes filius suus" and "filiis suis Ebalo et Bernardo"[1030]. m (before [1030]) ARCHAMBAUD [II] Vicomte de Comborn, son of EBLES [I] Vicomte de Turenne & his [first/second] wife [Beatrix de Normandie/Petronille ---] (-killed in battle Feb ----, before 1038).

d) daughter . Her parentage and marriage are indicated by the charter of her two sons dated 13 Oct 1120, see below. Her husband’s name may have been Bernard, assuming that her sons both used this name as a patronymic. m [BERNARD] de Seirac, son of ---. [Bernard] & his wife had two children:

i) PIERRE Bernard de Seirac (-after 13 Oct 1120). "Petrus Bernardi de Seirac nepos Aldegarii de Champania" donated his part of "Spinasoza vel in curte de Nioll" earlier donated by "Aimericus de Rochechavard et Aldegarius de Champania" by charter dated 13 Oct 1120, witnessed by "Aimiricus Bernardi frater eius ad Orador Charrofense"[1031].

ii) AIMERY Bernard de Seirac (-after 13 Oct 1120). "Petrus Bernardi de Seirac nepos Aldegarii de Champania" donated his part of "Spinasoza vel in curte de Nioll" earlier donated by "Aimericus de Rochechavard et Aldegarius de Champania" by charter dated 13 Oct 1120, witnessed by "Aimiricus Bernardi frater eius ad Orador Charrofense"[1032].

2. GERAUD (-after 1030). "Aimericus Ostifrancs" donated half the church at "Nioll" to Uzerche, for the souls of "patris mei Geraldi et matris meæ…Rotildis", by charter dated Mar 1019, signed by "Ava uxoris suæ, Aimerici filii sui, Geraldi fratris eius…"[1033]. "…Ava filiæ, Aimerici filii sui, Geraldi" signed the charter dated Aug 1019 under which "Guido et uxor mea Emma…et filii nostri Geraldus, Ademarus, Petrus" donated "ecclesiam…Sancti Bibiano…a Nioli" to Uzerche[1034]. "Aimericus et frater meus Geraldus et uxor mea Ermesindis" donated half the church at "Nioll" to Uzerche, for the soul of "patris nostri Aimerici", by charter dated to [1030/50][1035].

3. [--- . m ---.] [One child]:

a) [BERNARD "Venator" (-1066). The charter dated to [1049/75], which records the confirmation by "Aimiricus de Rochacavart" of his grandfather’s donation of the church at "Nioll" to Uzerche, also records that "Bernardus Venator" requested "seniorem suum Aimiricum della Rocachavard" to intervene with the abbey to allow him concessions relating to the property[1036]. Charters dated 1066 and 1075 record that, after the death of "Bernardi Venatoris", disputes arose concerning the property involving "uxor eius…Petronilla", the later document naming "avi sui Aimirici Ostafranc"[1037]. It is unclear from the text of this document whether "avi sui" is intended to refer to Bernard Venator, to his wife, or even to Aimery [III] de Rochechouart who is not named in the document but is named in earlier documents in the same series. m PETRONILLE, daughter of --- (-after 1075). Charters dated 1066 and 1075 record that, after the death of "Bernardi Venatoris", disputes arose concerning the property involving "uxor eius…Petronilla", the later document naming "avi sui Aimirici Ostafranc"[1038].]

4. [--- de Rochechouart . The husband of Ermengarde de Fronsac has not been identified. From a chronological point of view, he would have been of the same generation as Aimery [II] de Rochechouart. The wife of Aimery [II] is recorded elsewhere as Ermesende (see above). It is possible that Ermengarde’s husband was a brother of Aimery [II]. Another possibility is that the Chronique de Guitres has confused the two names Ermesende and Ermengarde, and that the reference is to the wife of Aimery [II]. m ERMENGARDE de Fronsac, daughter of ADAICIUS Vicomte de Fronsac & his first wife --- de Bordeaux. The Chronique de Guitres names “Alaas de Granol, alia Ermessenz de Marol, tercia Ermengars de Rochacart” as the daughters of “Adaicius” by his first marriage[1039]. “Rochacart” in this document most likely represents an abbreviated form of Rochechouart.]

AIMERY [III] de Rochechouart, son of AIMERY [II] de Rochechouart & his wife Ermesende [de Chapagnac] (-[before 1091]). A charter dated to [1049/75] records that, after the death of "Aimirici de Rochachavard", "filius eius Aimiricus de Rochacavart" succeeded to "honorem patris sui" and confirmed the donation of the church at "Nioll" to Uzerche by "Aimiricus Ostafrancs et Guido atque Tisalga, Aldiardis, Calva quoque soror eorum" for the souls of "patris sui G. vicecomitis et Rotildis vicecomitissæ matris eorum"[1040]. An undated document records a war between "Aymericus de Roca-Coardo filius Ermesendis" and “N. episcop Lemovicen”, dated to [1056/59][1041]. “Aimericus de Rocoardo filius Ermesinde” agreed with “Icterio episcopo et Amelio præposito pro monasterium Sancti Juniani” to relinquish claims to “burgo Sancti Juniani”, except for those acquired by “Aimericus suus avus cum Auduino fratri suo episcopo”, by charter dated to [1060][1042]. “Aimericus de Rocacauart” donated grain from “molendino sancti Laurentii” and property “in manso Vertaguario” to Limoges Saint-Etienne by charter dated to [1080] which records a similar donation by “Aimericus de Petra Buferia”[1043]. "Ildegarius vicecomes filius Aimirici de Rochachavard" confirmed donations of "ecclesia de Nioll et curte de Tollans…et villam de Spinaciosa" to Uzerche by charter dated to [1091], which mentions past donations by "frater suus Aimiricus de Rochecavard"[1044]. The document implies that Aimery was deceased at the time but does not state this explicitly.

m (before [1065]) ALPAIS [de Salagnac], daughter of ---. "Uxor ipsius Aimirici Aalpaiz, Agnes, Valencia…" witnessed the charter dated 1069 relating to the church at "Nioll"[1045]. General de Rochechouart quotes a letter from “un sieur Bandel à M. Duchesne” which quotes an extract "des titres de l’abbaye de Saint-Barthélemy" which records “Alpaidis de Roca-cavard, Aymericus filius eius...” as witnesses to an undated charter[1046]. "Audebertus de Rocacavardi, Aimericus filius eius…Ascelina comitissa…Alpaidis mater ipsius Audiberti" are named in a charter dated 5 Apr 1122 of Saint-Barthélemi de Bénévent[1047], As pointed out in the document ANGOULEME LA MARCHE PERIGORD, it is possible that "Ascelina comitissa" was the widow of Audebert [II] Comte de Périgord, who was elsewhere recorded as "Asceline de Salagnac". If that is correct, Alpais may have been her sister.

Aimery [III] & his wife had [six] children:

1. [AGNES (-after 1069). "Uxor ipsius Aimirici Aalpaiz, Agnes, Valencia…" witnessed the charter dated 1069 relating to the church at "Nioll"[1048]. The relationship between "…Agnes, Valencia…" and Aimery is not specified. It is possible that they were his daughters but this is not beyond doubt, especially as Aimery’s supposed sons are not among the signatories.]

2. [VALENCE (-after 1069). "Uxor ipsius Aimirici Aalpaiz, Agnes, Valencia…" witnessed the charter dated 1069 relating to the church at "Nioll"[1049]. The relationship between "…Agnes, Valencia…" and Aimery is not specified. It is possible that they were his daughters but this is not beyond doubt, especially as Aimery’s supposed sons are not among the signatories.]

3. AIMERY [IV] (-[1120 or after]). General de Rochechouart quotes a letter from “un sieur Bandel à M. Duchesne” which quotes an extract "des titres de l’abbaye de Saint-Barthélemy" which records “Alpaidis de Roca-cavard, Aymericus filius eius...” as witnesses to an undated charter[1050], which suggests that Aimery [IV] outlived his father. Père Anselme names Aimery as the oldest son of Aimery [III] and adds that he “fit le voyage de la Terre-Sainte en 1096”, although he cites no primary source on which this information is based[1051]. Le Laboureur also records that Aimery [IV] “fit le voyage de la Terre-Sainte en 1096 et vivoit encore l’an 1120” but cites no primary source either[1052]. Lacépède names “...Aimeri IV vicomte de Rochechouart...” in his list of participants in the First Crusade without citing any primary sources[1053]. Aimery’s name has not been found in any of the usual sources which record the events of the First Crusade. As Comte Guillaume [V] died in 1120, this passage must refer to Aimery [IV]. Père Anselme states that Aimery [IV] “vivoit encore en 1120”, but cites no primary source[1054].

4. AUDEBERT (-after 5 Apr 1122). General de Rochechouart quotes a letter from “un sieur Bandel à M. Duchesne” which quotes an extract "des titres de l’abbaye de Saint-Barthélemy" which records a donation dated 1122 by “Audobertus de Rocacavardi...cum Ascolina vice-comitissa de Salaniaco, alias filius ---”[1055]. "Audebertus de Rocacavardo, Aimericus filius eius…Ascelina comitissa…Alpaidis mater ipsius Audiberti" are named in a charter dated 5 Apr 1122 of Saint-Barthélemi de Bénévent[1056]. m ALMODIS, daughter of ---. Audebert & his wife had one child:

a) AIMERY (-after 5 Apr 1122). "Audebertus de Rocacavardo, Aimericus filius eius…Ascelina comitissa…Alpaidis mater ipsius Audiberti" are named in a charter dated 5 Apr 1122 of Saint-Barthélemi de Bénévent[1057].

5. [BOSON (-1108 or after). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Père Anselme names “Boson de Rochechouart seigneur de la Salle” as third son of Aimery [III] but cites no primary source on which the information is based[1058]. Seigneur de la Salle.]

6. [MAURICE (-1105 or after). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Père Anselme names “Maurice de Rochechouart, mentionné dans un titre de 1105” as fourth son of Aimery [III] but gives no citation reference for the charter in question[1059].]

1. [AIMERY [V] de Rochechouart (-[after 1141]). Père Anselme names Aimery [V] “vivant en 1141” as the son of Aimery [IV], but cites no primary source on which the information is based[1060]. He is also named, and his supposed parentage given, by Le Laboureur without citing any primary sources[1061]. No primary source has been found in which Aimery [V] is named. Until some corroboration comes to light, he is included in the present document in square brackets to indicate doubt about his existence.]

1. AIMERY [VI] de Rochechouart (-[after 1168/70]). No primary source reference to Aimery [VI] de Rochechouart has been found, except the reference in the Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis which names him as the father of the unnamed first husband of Marguerite de Limoges (see below). From a chronological point of view, he could have been the same person as the shadowy Aimery [V] provided the latter survived for several years after 1141. As noted below, the description of his son as “filio Aimerici de Rupecavardi”, in the record of his son’s marriage in the Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis quoted below, suggests that Aimery [VI] was still head of the family at the time of the marriage (which is unlikely to have taken place before [1168] considering the estimated birth date of the bride). m ---. The name of Aimery’s wife is not known. Aimery [VI] & his wife had [two] children:

a) --- de Rochechouart ([1140/55]-before [1180/85]). The name of the first husband of Marguerite de Limoges is not known. His parentage is confirmed by the record of his marriage in the Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis quoted below. His description in the same source as “filio Aimerici de Rupecavardi” suggests that his father was still head of the family at the time of the marriage and even that he may have predeceased his father. m (before [1168/70]) as her first husband, MARGUERITE de Limoges, daughter of ADEMAR [V] Vicomte de Limoges & his wife Sarah of Cornwall ([1154/56]-). 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 Marguerite married "filio Aimerici de Rupecavardi" and afterwards "filio Audeberti Petragorici comitis"[1062]. The reconstruction of her supposed descendants below, if correct, suggests that Marguerite must have been one of her parents’ oldest children. Marguerite married secondly (before [1180/85]) [Hélie [VII] Talairand Comte de Périgord.] The identity of Marguerite’s second husband as Hélie [VII] Comte de Périgord is suggested by the charter dated [1228/29] under which "Archambauz coms de Peregurs fils n'El Talairan et neps al vescomte de Lemotges" donated property "lo moli Sancti Martialis que Peir Vegers tenia" to Notre-Dame de Chancelade[1063]. From a chronological point of view, this appears to be the best solution from among the comtes de Périgord who are known from other primary sources. However, it should be emphasised that the issue is not without doubt, firstly in light of the usual confusion about the translation of the word "neps/nepos", secondly because the vicomte de Limoges in question is not named, and thirdly because there remains the possibility that another "Audebert" in the Périgord family also bore the title "comte", unrecorded in other sources so far identified (see for example Audebert, son of Boson [IV] Comte de Périgord). --- & his wife had [three or more] children:

i) [AIMERY [VII] ([1168/70]-[1190/92]). No primary source has been found which confirms the parentage of Aimery [VII], but the undated letter of Sebrand Chabot Bishop of Limoges (quoted below), dated to [1192], suggests his birth some time around [1170], consistent with his leaving minor children when he died. This suggests that Aimery [VII] could have been the son of --- de Rochechouart and his wife Marguerite de Limoges. The [1192] document records that Aimery [VII]’s body remained unburied because he had been excommunicated for damaging the church of Foreges Saint-Augustin. The date indicates the improbability that Aimery [VII] was Marguerite de Limoges’s first husband, whose unburied body was unlikely to have been the subject of appeal for burial more than ten years later. "Rochechouard (Aymericus de) et ses frères et tous les autres seigneurs de Montrogno" renounced rights "sur l’étang, la pêche et le moulin d’Ambazac, qui appartiennent au monastère de Saint-Antoine d’Ambazac" dated 1191[1064]. Aimery [VII]’s death is dated to the bishopric of Sebrand Chabot Bishop of Limoges, as shown by the same letter dated to [1192] quoted below. m ---. The primary source which confirms the family origin and marriage of Aimery [VII]’s wife has not been identified. Père Anselme names “Luce dame de Perrusse” as the wife of the person who, in his faulty reconstruction, is identified with Aimery [VII], citing no primary source on which the information is based[1065]. The difficulty with this identification is the charter dated Aug 1242 (quoted below) under which Aimery [X] de Rochechouart swore allegiance to Alphonse Comte de Poitou for Pérusse. That document implies inheritance of the castle from a direct ancestor, whereas the family reconstruction in the present document, if correct, indicates that Aimery [VII] and his wife left no direct descendants. Aimery [VII] & his wife had two children:

(a) AIMERY [VIII] ([1190/91]-before 6 Apr 1199). His birth date is estimated on the assumption that he was the grandson of Marguerite de Limoges, by her first husband, consistent with the logic set out above relating to the identification of Aimery [VII]. The following document shows that Aimery [VIII] succeeded his father while a minor, under the guardianship of Aimery “Brunus” (who has not otherwise been identified). Sebrand Bishop of Limoges noted that, “Aimericus de Rupecavardi” [identified as Aimery [VII], see above] remaining unburied as he had been excommunicated for damage caused to the church of Forges Saint-Augustin, “Aimericus de Rupecavardi filius eiusdem Aimerici et Aimericus Brunus [his guardian]” and, later, “Aimericus de Castellonovo et P. filius eius...” swore that the deceased had repented and that his son (together with his guardian) agreed to pay compensation, undated (dated to [1192])[1066]. Aimery [VIII]’s death, during the reign of King Richard I, is indicated by the document of King John dated 14 Jul 1202, quoted below, which shows his sister’s entitlement to Rochechouart as heiress.

(b) daughter ([1191/96]-[Jul 1202/1204]). Heiress of Rochechouart. King John notified the people of Rochechouart that he had granted “custodiam ville vestre” to “Petr Rudell” [not identified, maybe from the family of the seigneurs de Bergerac, see the document ANGOULÊME LA MARCHE PERIGORD] by order dated 27 Aug 1200[1067]. 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[1068]. Her other supposed betrothal is confirmed by the following document: King John regranted “Rupe Choardi cum honorem q tenetis cum heredem”, as granted by King Richard, to “Guidon de Neillac...filio vestro” dated 14 Jul 1202[1069]. The most likely explanation of this document is that King Richard had granted Rochechouart (and the marriage of its heiress) to Guy de Neillac [Analhac?], 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], see below) is named in sources from [1204]. Betrothed (before 6 Apr 1199, terminated before 30 Aug 1200, confirmed 14 Jul 1202) --- de Neillac [Analhac?], son of GUY de Neillac/Analhac & his wife ---. Betrothed (30 Aug 1200, terminated before 14 Jul 1202) JOURDAIN de Chabanais, son of ---.

ii) [sons ([1170/80]-[1191/1204]). "Rochechouard (Aymericus de) et ses frères et tous les autres seigneurs de Montrogno" renounced rights "sur l’étang, la pêche et le moulin d’Ambazac, qui appartiennent au monastère de Saint-Antoine d’Ambazac" dated 1191[1070]. The number of brothers is not known. The succession of Aimery [IX] to the vicomté indicates that they must all have died before [1204].]

b) [--- de Rochechouart ([1145/55]-[before 1190]). No direct evidence has been found to confirm the existence of this person. However, the chronology of the possible ancestry of Aimery [IX] de Rochechouart (see below) suggests descent from a younger son of Aimery [VI].]

The precise relationship between the unnamed father of “A--- de Rochechouart” and the main Rochechouart family has not been ascertained, although the chronology suggests the unlikelihood that he was one of the unnamed brothers of Aimery [VII] who are shown above. The most likely explanation is that he was a younger son of Aimery [VI], as indicated above.

1. --- de Rochechouart ([1145/55]-[before 1190]). As “P”, his widow’s son by her second marriage, is named in the [1192] letter of Sebrand Chabot Bishop of Limoges quoted below, it is unlikely that he was less than five years old at the time and could have been considerably older. If that is correct, “--- de Rochechouart” was born in [1145/55] and therefore could not have been Aimery [VII], who must have been born much later. m (before [1180]) as her first husband, G---, daughter of --- (-after 1222). She married secondly ([before 1190]) Aimery de Châteauneuf. "Rochechouart, A. et P. de Chateauneuf, Jean, leur frère, et G. leur mère veuve" acknowledged that "la justice des biens qu’ils avoient sous les murs du château de Rochechouart appartenoit à Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart" by charter dated 1222[1071]. His name is confirmed by the letter (dated to [1192]) of Sebrand Chabot Bishop of Limoges who noted that, “Aimericus de Rupecavardi” remaining unburied as he was excommunicated for damage caused to the church of Forges Saint-Augustin, “Aimericus de Rupecavardi filius eiusdem Aimerici et Aimericus Brunus [his guardian]” and, later, “Aimericus de Castellonovo et P. filius eius...” swore that the deceased had repented and that his son (and his guardian) agreed to pay compensation, undated[1072]. Aimery de Châteauneuf’s involvement in this affair is explained if he was the stepfather of the next heir to Rochechouart. Her family origin has not been ascertained. Père Anselme names “Luce dame de Perrusse” as the wife of the person who, in his faulty reconstruction, is identified with Aimery [VII] de Rochechouart (see above), citing no primary source on which the information is based[1073]. The difficulty with that identification is the charter dated Aug 1242 (quoted below) under which Aimery [X] de Rochechouart swore allegiance to Alphonse Comte de Poitou for Pérusse. That document implies inheritance of the castle from a direct ancestor. The family reconstruction in the present document, if correct, indicates that Aimery [VII] and his wife left no direct descendants. One possibility is that the wife of “--- de Rochechouart” was the heiress of Pérusse. One child:

a) A--- de Rochechouart (-after 1222). "Rochechouart, A. et P. de Chateauneuf, Jean, leur frère, et G. leur mère veuve" acknowledged that "la justice des biens qu’ils avoient sous les murs du château de Rochechouart appartenoit à Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart" by charter dated 1222[1074]. same person as...? AIMERY (-after 29 Sep 1214). “Petrus de Monterabei” donated revenue “in pedagio Roche” to Merci-Dieu abbey, with the consent of “Josbertus de Guerchia frater meus, Aanor uxor mea, filii mei Eschivardus et Gaufridus”, by charter dated 1201, witnessed by “de militibus: Giraudus vicecomes de Brocea nepos meus...Emericus de Rochachoart...”[1075]. "Rochechouard (Aimery de)" subscribed a charter dated to [1204] which records that "Pierre de Montrobé" donated "rente...sur le péage de la Roche" to the abbey of Merci-Dieu[1076]. Père Anselme names Aimery as the son of Aimery, adding that he founded in 1205 “le prieuré de Trésens” and was “homme-lige du roi en 1226”, but cites no primary source on which the information is based[1077]. Le Laboureur also records that Aimery “fonda l’an 1205 avec son fils le Prieuré de Trezens Ordre de Grammont” but cites no primary source either[1078]. The chronology suggests that this person was Aimery [IX]. King John issued an order to "Aymericus de Rupe Chiward Jordanus et Chiwardus de Chabbenes" dated 3 Aug 1214[1079]. "…A de Rupe Eschiward…" witnessed the charter dated 29 Sep 1214 under which King John confirmed the proposed marriage of "Johannam filiam suam genitam de Ysabell uxore sua, filia com Engolism" to "Hugonis de Lysuinan fil H com Marchie"[1080]. It should be noted that none of these entries refer to “A---“ as “vicomte”. same person as...? AIMERY [IX] ([1180]-[7 Apr 1243/1244]). Père Anselme (in his faulty reconstruction) names Aimery [IX] as the son of the person identified above as Aimery [VII] and his wife “Luce dame de Perrusse”, but cites no primary source on which the information is based[1081]. Anselme must be incorrect in light of the documents quoted above. Aimery [IX] would presumably have been a more distant relative, the chronology being consistent with his being the grandson of Aimery [VI]. Vicomte de Rochechouart.

- see below.

AIMERY [IX] de Rochechouart, son of [--- de Rochechouart & his wife G---] ([1180]-[7 Apr 1243/1244]). The chronology suggests that Aimery [IX] was the same person as Aimery who is named between [1204] and 1222 as shown above. His approximate birth date is estimated from his marriage in [1205]. King John granted “saisina habe faciatis Willo Brochet de terris suis...” to “Emerico de Rupe et Eschuward”, dated 3 Apr 1214 at Limoges[1082]. A letter from "Radulfus filius Nicholai, domini regis senescallus" to the bishop of Chichester and "domino Stephano de Segrave" reports that "comes Marchiæ" had joined the king of France but names "…Emericus de Rochechuard…" among the "barones Pictaviæ" who supported the English king[1083]. Vicomte de Rochechouart: "A. vicecomes Rupis Chuardi" wrote to Henry III King of England, dated to [Jul 1230], informing him that his "position is very difficult" and that he could not maintain it "without much support from you", as well as naming "Emerico primogenito nostro"[1084]. This document is the first to accord the vicecomital title to the head of the Rochechouart family since an undated reference to Aimery [II] as vicomte in a charter of Uzerche dated to the mid-11th century (see above). Général de Rochechouart states that Aimery founded “le couvent des cordeliers de Saint-Junien” in 1230 according to “de recherches récentes faites dans les archives de la Haute-Vienne”[1085]. If this information is correct, the date suggests that Aimery [IX] can be identified as the founder. "Rochechouart (Aimery vicomte de) et Aimery son fils aîné" reached agreement with “la communauté de la ville de Saint-Brice” concerning “un fait d’Hélie de Saint-Brice chevalier et de son fils...hommes du dit vicomte” following “certaines insultes et menaces qu’Aimery de Chateauneuf chevalier avoit fait”, by charter dated 4 Sep 1235[1086]. King Henry III gave money to “Emery de Rupe Chyward[i]...and to Fulk his son” dated 22 Apr 1239[1087]. “Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart, Aimery son fils, et Marguerite femme du dit fils” reached agreement with “Guy vicomte de Limoges” to abandon “au dit vicomte de Limoges les domaines de Gorre, Oradour, Cussac, Cuffares, le droit en la forêt de Treus, la moitié du domaine de Maraval” by charter 3 Apr 1242[1088]. The charter dated Aug 1242 (see below, under his son) suggests that Vicomte Aimery [IX] delegated some vicecomital responsibilities to his son Aimery [X] towards the end of his life. "…Hemericum de Rupe Chiwardi et Hemericum filius eius…", named by the French king, signed the charter dated 7 Apr 1243 (“anno xxvii” [of King Henry III]) which records a peace treaty between the English and French kings[1089].

m ([1205]) [--- de Mortemart], daughter of ---. No primary source has been found which names the wife of Aimery [IX]. Her identity is uncertain. Père Anselme names “Alix dame de Mortemart dans la province de la Marche...fille et héritière de Guillaume seigneur de Mortemart, d’Availles et de Saint-Germain” as his wife, dating their marriage to 1205, adding that she made her testament dated 1247, and was still living in 1255 as a widow, although he cites no primary sources on which the information is based[1090]. However, Ratier cites the testament of “Alix de Mortemart...dame de Saint-Germain”, wife of “Raymond Foucauld, fils d’Amelin II”, dated 12 Sep 1247, which names her sons “Guillaume ou Guy...et Gabriel” as beneficiaries[1091]. This family was clearly unconnected with the Rochechouart family, and the coincidence of dates as well as the reference to Saint-Germain suggests the possibility that Anselme was mistaken in his reference. Unfortunately, a published copy of the original testament has not been found. The possession of Mortemart by Aimery [IX]’s grandson Guillaume (see below) suggests that it was inherited through an earlier marriage. No connection between Mortemart and the Limoges family has been found, which appears to eliminate the wife of Aimery [X], leaving Aimery [IX]’s wife as the most likely possibility. A connection with Availles (and Châtain) is indicated by the charter dated 1238 quoted below under which her son Aimery [X] confirmed a donation of property in that parish, not naming Aimery [IX] whose absence suggests inheritance from his mother. A possible family relationship with the English king is indicated by the following document: Henry III King of England granted revenue to [her son or grandson] "consanguineo nostro magistro Simoni de Rupe Cavardi", dated 1254[1092]. The most likely possibility of a family connection is through the king’s mother Isabelle d’Angoulême, whose known ancestry is incomplete, and maybe through Archbishop Simon’s mother. A reconstruction of the Mortemart line has not proved possible as no other information has been found about the family in the 12th/13th century. The introduction of the name Simon into the Rochechouart family from the next generation suggests that it may have originated with Aimery [IX]’s wife’s family. The name is unusual in the nobility of south-western France, associated most commonly in the region with the Lusignan/Lezay and Parthenay/L’Archevêque families. No trace has been found of any primary source record which indicates that Aimery [IX]’s widow was alive in 1255.

Aimery [IX] & his wife had [four] children:

1. AIMERY [X] ([1205]-25 Aug 1245, bur Châtenet). "A. vicecomes Rupis Chuardi" wrote to Henry III King of England, dated to [Jul 1230], informing him that his "position is very difficult" and that he could not maintain it "without much support from you", as well as naming "Emerico primogenito nostro"[1093]. Vicomte de Rochechouart.

- see below.

2. FOUCAUD (-after 22 Apr 1239). King Henry III gave money to “Emery de Rupe Chyward[i]...and to Fulk his son” dated 22 Apr 1239[1094]. The date appears too early for this entry to relate to Aimery [X] and his son. “Fulk” is presumably a mistranscription or mistranslation, as the name Foucaud is repeated in later generations of the Rochechouart family. [Seigneur de Saint-Germain: Père Anselme names “Foucault de Rochechouart seigneur de S. Germain” as the second son of Aimery [IX], adding that “suivant un mémoire” he was the father of “Guy de Rochechouart, lequel de Sibille de Vivonne eut Guillaume de Rochechouart”[1095]. He cites no primary source to justify the information, which is inaccurate concerning Guy de Rochechourt who was the son of Aimery [XI] as shown below. Maybe Anselme’s reference represents a misunderstanding relating to the testament of “Alix de Mortemart”, which is discussed above under Foucaud’s mother.]

3. SIMON de Rochechouart ([1210/20]-29 Oct 1280, bur Bordeaux Cathedral). According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Simon de Rochechouart, archbishop of Bordeaux, was the son of Aimery [X] Vicomte de Rochechouart[1096]. The sources quoted in this paragraph suggest that this must be incorrect and that Simon was the son of Vicomte Aimery [IX]. [A series of documents dated from 4 May 1255 show a Simon de Rochechouart at the court of Henry III King of England, who granted him ecclesiastical positions. These documents, shown below under Simon son of Aimery [X] Seigneur de Rochechouart, suggest that the grantee was just starting on his ecclesiastical career. This suggestion seems more compatible with the chronology of the son of Aimery [X] than with Aimery [IX]’s son.] "Aymericus, de Rupecavardi vicecomes" [Aimery [XI]] donated property to "Geraldo de Malomonte, canonico Aniciensi", dated 30 Sep 1262, witnessed by "Symone de Rupecavardi patruo nostro, domino Guidone archidiacono Combralie, domino Guillelmo Rupiscavardi fratribus nostris"[1097]. "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" as 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 Carlton" 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"[1098]. Seigneur de Saint-Auvent: "Jean vicomte de Rochechouart chevalier seigneur de Saint-Auvent" ratified the privileges granted to the inhabitants of Saint-Auvent in 1226 by "feu monseigneur Simon de Rochechouart, archévêque de Bordeaux, alors doyen de Bourges, seigneur de Saint-Auvent" by charter dated "du dimanche dans les Octaves de la Pentecôte 1344"[1099]. The 1226 date is corrected to 1266 in the repertory of documents in the archives départementales of Haute-Vienne[1100]. “Simon de Rochechouart doyen de Bourges...” witnessed the charter dated 2 Feb 1272 which confirmed the emancipation by “Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart” of “Marguerite sa fille” and his grant to her “en faveur de son mariage avec Arnaud Bochart damoiseau...rente...sur les biens de feue dame Jeanne sa femme mère de la dite Marguerite”[1101]. Archbishop of Bordeaux 1275. Gallia Christiana records the interregnum after Pierre Archbishop of Bordeaux died and the disputed election in Sep 1272 between Simon de Rochechouart and “Clemens de sancto Hilario canonicus”, the latter of whom died in 1274[1102]. Gallia Christiana records his death “IV Kal Nov” 1279 and his burial at Bordeaux[1103]. The testament of “Aimery vicomte de Rochechouard, estant sur le point de passer la mer avec le roy de France”, dated end-Jun 1283, confirmed the donation of “Saint-Auvent à Foucaud son fils” made by “feu messire Simon de Rochechouard archevêque de Bordeaux son oncle”[1104].

4. [--- de la Roche [=de Rochechouart?] (-before 1284). The identification of this person as a member of the Rochechouart family depends on a document dated 11 Dec 1304, the difficulties with which are explained in the document POITIERS.]

- CHABANAIS.

AIMERY [X] de Rochechouart, son of AIMERY [IX] Vicomte de Rochechouart & his wife --- [de Mortemart] ([1205]-25 Aug 1245, bur Châtenet). The estimated date of his marriage suggests that Aimery [X] was born in [1205]. "A. vicecomes Rupis Chuardi" wrote to Henry III King of England, dated to [Jul 1230], informing him that his "position is very difficult" and that he could not maintain it "without much support from you", and naming "Emerico primogenito nostro"[1105]. "Nobilis vir A. de Rupe Cavardi junior" confirmed the donation of property “in parrochia de Chastaign et parrochia de Avallia” made to Charroux by "dominus Raymundus de Laia Pariola miles" by charter dated 1238[1106]. “Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart, Aimery son fils, et Marguerite femme du dit fils” reached agreement with “Guy vicomte de Limoges” to abandon “au dit vicomte de Limoges les domaines de Gorre, Oradour, Cussac, Cuffares, le droit en la forêt de Treus, la moitié du domaine de Maraval” by charter 3 Apr 1242[1107]. "…Hemericum de Rupe Chiwardi et Hemericum filius eius…", named by the French king, signed the charter dated 7 Apr 1242 which records a peace treaty between the English and French kings[1108]. A charter dated Aug 1242 records that “Hemericus de Ruppe Choardi junior” swore homage to Alphonse Comte de Poitou for “castro Perucye” [Perusse] in return for payment “ex annuo redditu apud Ryon, ex parte uxoris nostre”[1109]. This charter suggests that Vicomte Aimery [IX] delegated some vicecomital responsibilities to his son Aimery [X] towards the end of his life. Vicomte de Rochechouart. “Guido vicomes Lemovicensis” and “Aymericum vicecomitem Rupis Cavardi sororium nostrum” agreed their respective rights in the forest of Trein by charter dated 1244[1110]. A charter dated 1244 records a division between Guy de Limoges and his brother-in-law Aimery de Rochechouart[1111]. The testament of Aimery [VIII] is dated 1245 and appoints “sa femme Marguerite de Limoges” as guardian of his children[1112]. An epitaph in the church of Saint-Yrieix records the death “in die Sancti Aredii” of “Aimericus de Rupe-Cavardo, maritus Margaritæ, filiæ Guidonis vicecomitis Lemovicensis”[1113].

m ([1225/28]) MARGUERITE de Limoges, daughter of GUY [V] Vicomte de Limoges & his [first wife --- d’Auvergne/second wife Ermengarde ---] ([1210/15]-9 Sep 1259, bur Châtenet). Her marriage date is estimated from her oldest son being a minor when her husband died, as suggested by the charter dated Sep 1245 quoted below. “Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart, Aimery son fils, et Marguerite femme du dit fils” reached agreement with “Guy vicomte de Limoges” to abandon “au dit vicomte de Limoges les domaines de Gorre, Oradour, Cussac, Cuffares, le droit en la forêt de Treus, la moitié du domaine de Maraval” by charter 3 Apr 1242[1114]. “Margarita vicecomitissa Rupis Cauardi” swore homage to Alphonse Comte de Poitou for “castro Ruppis Cauardi...et de castro Perusii” by charter dated Sep 1245[1115]. The fact that Marguerite swore homage instead of her son suggests that the latter was still a minor at that date. “Aymericus de Rupecavardi vice-comes domicellus” confirmed a donation to Limoges, naming "Margaritam vice-comitissam Rupis-Cavardi matrem nostram et Aymericum de Castronovo et Aymericum de Panta milites", by charter dated 1 Jun 1251[1116]. The testament of “la vicomtesse Marguerite”, dated Jul 1252, chose her burial "en la chapelle du Châtenet, au tombeau de feu son mary", bequeathed "trente livres de rente à Guillaume de Rochechouart son fils sur la terre qu’elle reçut en dot dans la vicomté de Limoges, avec la vigne qu’elle avoit acquise d’Adhémar de Maumont chevalier…à son déffaut à Guy de Rochechouart son fils et en outre…avec une coupe d’argent doré qui luy seroit donnée lorsqu’il sera armé chevalier", to "Adhémar de Rochechouart son fils cinquante livres de rente à prendre sur celle de cent livres que luy avoit donnée le comte de Poitiers", ordered that "Guy, Adhémar et Simon ses fils soient substitués les uns aux autres, en cas de mort sans hoirs", bequeathed "à Foucaud son autre fils, cinquante livres sur les biens de Cussac…dès qu’il aura atteint l’âge de seize ans", her lands "qu’elle avoit eues de ses père et mère à Aimery son fils aîné", made a bequest to "Marguerite sa nièce, fille de Guy son frère pour la faire religieuse", and named as executors "Guy de la Roche son gendre…son seigneur le vicomte de Limoges son frère…"[1117]. An epitaph in the church of Saint-Yrieix records the death “in die Sancti Aredii” of “Aimericus de Rupe-Cavardo, maritus Margaritæ, filiæ Guidonis vicecomitis Lemovicensis” and the death 9 Sep 1259 of “Margarita”[1118].

Aimery [X] & his wife had [nine] children:

1. AIMERY [XI] (after [1225/28]-[1283/84], bur Terzay). His parentage is confirmed by the testament of [his mother] “la vicomtesse Marguerite”, dated Jul 1252, which bequeathed her lands "qu’elle avoit eues de ses père et mère à Aimery son fils aîné"[1119]. Vicomte de Rochechouart.

- see below.

2. AGNES de Rochechouart (-after 5 Apr 1260). Her marriage is confirmed by the testament of her mother Marguerite, dated Jul 1252, which named among the executors "Guy de la Roche son gendre…"[1120]. Agnes was presumably one of her parents’ older children as she had children herself by that date. “Rochechouart (Guillaume de) seigneur de Pérusse, de Salagnac et de Saint-Victurnien” donated property to “Agnes sa sœur femme de...Guy de la Rochefoucauld” as well as his rights in the succession of “Adémar et de Foucaud de Rochechouart ses frères...et en celle de Guy vicomte de Limoges son oncle” by charter dated 5 Apr 1260[1121]. m as his first wife, GUY [VI] Seigneur de la Rochefoucauld, son of AIMERY [I] Seigneur de la Rochefoucauld & his wife Letice de Parthenay (-1295 or after).

3. GUILLAUME de Rochechouart (-after 2 Feb 1272, bur Grandmont Priory). The testament of “la vicomtesse Marguerite”, dated Jul 1252, chose her burial "en la chapelle du Châtenet, au tombeau de feu son mary", bequeathed "trente livres de rente à Guillaume de Rochechouart son fils sur la terre qu’elle reçut en dot dans la vicomté de Limoges, avec la vigne qu’elle avoit acquise d’Adhémar de Maumont chevalier…à son déffaut à Guy de Rochechouart son fils et en outre…avec une coupe d’argent doré qui luy seroit donnée lorsqu’il sera armé chevalier"[1122]. Seigneur de Mortemart: “Guillaume de Rochechouard chevalier” exchanged with "Aimery vicomte de Rochechouard" the “château de Pérusse avec le châtel et châtellenie de Salaniac...sauf les bien dotaux de...Marguerite sa femme fille de...Philippe seigneur de Mareval” for “le châtel et châtellenie de Mortemar” by charter dated 19 Mar 1260[1123]. “Rochechouart (Guillaume de) seigneur de Pérusse, de Salagnac et de Saint-Victurnien” donated property to “Agnes sa sœur femme de...Guy de la Rochefoucauld” as well as his rights in the succession of “Adémar et de Foucaud de Rochechouart ses frères...et en celle de Guy vicomte de Limoges son oncle” by charter dated 5 Apr 1260[1124].

SIMON de Rochechouart (-after 19 Oct 1255). King Henry III granted "50 marks a year...until the king provide for him more amply" to "Master Simon de Rupe Cauardi" dated 4 May 1254[1135]. King Henry III granted to "Master Simon de Rupe Cauardi" that "as soon as the provisions already granted have been fulfilled, the king will cause him to be provided for in ecclesiastical benefices to the amount of 200 marks a year" dated 6 May 1254[1136]. Henry III King of England granted revenue to "consanguineo nostro magistro Simoni de Rupe Cavardi", dated 1254[1137]. These documents could refer to the son of Aimery [X] Vicomte de Rochechouart if he was starting an ecclesiastical career. This conjecture appears supported by the following document in which a relationship between the king and (apparently) the same person is mentioned: a charter dated 30 Aug 1255 records a grant to "Master Simon de Rupe Chiuuardi, king’s kinsman" that “the king will provide for him in some ecclesiastical benefice, dignity or prebend, except the treasurership of York...”[1138]. A charter dated 19 Oct 1255 records a grant to "Master Simon de Rupe Cauardi, king’s kinsman" of “a prebend late of Master Stephen de Oclesfield in the church of York...”[1139]. An alternative is that all these documents relating to Simon de Rochechouart, son of Aimery [IX]. However, the 4 May 1254 document cited above suggests that the Simon in question was just starting on his ecclesiastical career, which seems more compatible with the chronology of the son of Aimery [X] than with Aimery [IX]’s son.]

7. FOUCAUD de Rochechouart ([1236/40]-after Jul 1252). The testament of “la vicomtesse Marguerite”, dated Jul 1252, bequeathed "à Foucaud son autre fils, cinquante livres sur les biens de Cussac…dès qu’il aura atteint l’âge de seize ans"[1140]. The testament of “Aimery vicomte de Rochechouard, estant sur le point de passer la mer avec le roy de France”, dated end-Jun 1283, refers to property held "par indivis en la vicomté de Limoges avec Foucaud son frère”[1141]. The document is unclear whether Foucaud was living or deceased at the time. However, if he was still alive it is unclear how Vicomte Aimery could have donated the property himself by testament.

The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. She is not named in her supposed mother’s Jul 1252 testament. m AYMAR Seigneur d’Archiac, son of ---.]

9. [ALIX . Père Anselme names “Alix femme de Guillaume de Madaillan, seigneur de l’Esparre” as the youngest daughter of Aimery [X], but cites no primary source on which the information is based[1143]. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. She is not named in her supposed mother’s Jul 1252 testament. m GUILLAUME de Madaillan Seigneur de Lesparre, son of ---.]

The precise relationships, if any, between the following individuals and the main Rochechouart family have not been ascertained. One possibility is that they lived at the castle but were unrelated to the vicecomital family, whose name they adopted. Another possibility is that they were illegitimate descendants of one of the vicomtes de Rochechouart.

1. AIMERY de Rochechouart (-20 Jul 1268). Henry III King of England granted revenue to "Emery de Rupe Cauardi" until "the king provide for him in an ecclesiastical benefice" dated 21 Jul 1247[1144]. An instruction to the sheriff of Oxford dated 25 Jan 1249 ordered “Emeric de Rupe Cauardi clerk” to have “10 marks of the king’s gift...to maintain himself in the schools”[1145]. A charter dated 23 Feb 1251 records the presentation of "Artald de Sancto Romano to the church of Faccumbe" notwithstanding "the presentation thereto of Emery de Rupe Cauardi"[1146]. A charter dated 1251 records the abbot of Bury St Edmunds placing “loco suo Emericum de Rupe Cauardi et Henricum de Titteshal, vel alterum eorum...”[1147]. A charter dated 18 May 1252 orders the presentation of "Emery de Rupe Cavardi to the church of Wilingham" to the bishop of Norwich[1148]. A charter dated 31 Jul 1253 grants "simple protection for one year from Michaelmas" for "the abbot and convent of Quarr" and the same for "Emery de Rupe Chauuardi"[1149]. The Liber Memorandorum Ecclesie de Bernewelle records the arrest and imprisonment of “quidam clericus alienigena...magister Emericius de Rupe Cawardi” in Cambridge “in tempore guerre” (presumably therefore dated to [1264]) and, after being freed “tempore pacis”, leaving for London and claiming compensation for his imprisonment from “priorem de Bernewelle”[1150]. Rector of Skipwith. The Rotuli Ricardi Gravesend records the death “XIII Kal Aug” 1268 of “mag. Emericus de Rupe Kauardi”[1151]. The Register of Walter Giffard records the vacancy at Skipwith following the death of “Emerici de Rupe Chaward, quondam rectoris ejusdem” and his appointment of “N. le Brun, clerico et consanguineo nostro” dated 1 Dec 1268[1152].

2. LUBAUD de Rochechouart (-after 16 Jun 1254). A charter dated 2 Apr 1254 records a bond to "Lubaud de Rupe Chiwardi" for "10 marks wherein the king was bound to William de Mortuo Mari for a horse he bought from the same Lubaud"[1153]. A charter dated 16 Jun 1254 at Saint-Macaire records a bond to "Lubaud de Rupe Cauardi"[1154].

3. GEOFFROY de Rochechouart (-after 12 Nov 1254). A charter dated 12 Nov 1254 at "Boscum Peverelli" records a bond to "Geoffrey de Rupe Cauardi in 25 marks for missions and expenses in the king’s service in Gascony"[1155].

AIMERY [XI] de Rochechouart, son of AIMERY [X] Vicomte de Rochechouart & his wife Marguerite de Limoges (after [1225/28]-[1283/84], bur Terzay). The charter of his mother dated Sep 1245 (quoted above) suggests that Aimery [XI] was still a minor when his father died. His parentage is confirmed by the testament of [his mother] “la vicomtesse Marguerite”, dated Jul 1252, which bequeathed her lands "qu’elle avoit eues de ses père et mère à Aimery son fils aîné"[1156]. Vicomte de Rochechouart. “Aymericus de Rupecavardi vice-comes domicellus” confirmed a donation to Limoges, naming "Margaritam vice-comitissam Rupis-Cavardi matrem nostram et Aymericum de Castronovo et Aymericum de Panta milites", by charter dated 1 Jun 1251[1157]. A charter dated 15 Nov 1254 at Fontevraud records a bond to "Emery vicomte de Rochechouart" for “35 marks sterling for two horses lost in the king’s service in Gascony”[1158]. "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[1159]. [The absence of his title from the following documents render it uncertain whether they refer to Aimery [XI]. A charter dated 12 Aug 1267 ordered “Rogero de Clifford justiciario foreste citra Trentam” to permit “Almarico de Rupe Cauardi” to have four stags “in foresta regis de Ceddr”[1160]. An order dated 10 Nov 1267 records a fine made by “fidelis noster Eymericus de Rupe Cauardi”[1161].] “Hemericus vicecomes Rupiscavardi [...ratione liberorum nostrorum ex Johanna filia quondam dicti G. susceptorum de castro et castellania Talniaci], Fulco de Mathasio, Bartholomeus de Haia [...pro liberis nostris ex Aelina filia quondam dicti G. susceptis, de castro et castellania de Didonia], Kalo de Ruppeforti [ratione Margarete uxoris nostre, de castro et castellania de Broa], Guillermus Chevini, milites, Humbertus Guidonis scutifer, Alnodis filia quondam defuncti Gaufridi de Thalniaco militis [...de castro et castellania de Monte Andronis]” agreed the repurchase of assets of “predicti Gaufridi” with Alphonse Comte de Poitou et de Toulouse, naming “dominum Gaufridum de Castro Briandi, dominum Pontium de Mirabello, dominum Urvosium de Rociaco, milites” as guarantors, by letters dated 25 Nov 1269[1162]. The arrangements for the succession were still unresolved 11 Apr 1273 when a charter confirmed fishing rights to Monstierneuf priory granted by “Gaufredi quondam domini de Talniaco deffuncti...Hugone domino quondam de Talniaco cuius idem Gaufredus heres extitit”, the prior promising to deliver confirmation to “exequtoribus vel heredibus dicti Gaufredi”[1163]. The final settlement was dated Mar 1276, when Hugues de Caumont châtelain de Saintes confirmed the division of the châtellenie of Tonnay into seven equal parts[1164]. The testament of “Aimery vicomte de Rochechouard, estant sur le point de passer la mer avec le roy de France”, dated end-Jun 1283, bequeathed “les châtel et châtellenies de Rochechouard, Brigueuil...” to “Aimery son petit-fils, fils de feu Aimery son fils aîné”, the "châteaux de Pérusse et de Salanhac...sauf...rente...[qu’]il avoit donnée à P. d’Analhac chevalier pour le dot d’Agnez sa fille femme dudit chevalier" to "Guy de Rochechouart son fils chevalier", to "Agnez...sa fille...le territoire d’Analhac...[et] une part en la châtellenie de Vivonne, à l’encontre que lesdits Aimery et Jeanne ses petits-enfants y ont...en la châtellenie de Rochechouard..." and “les châtels et châtellenies de Tonnay-Charente...sauf...rente que Marguerite sa fille femme d’Arnaud-Bochard de Baudrente chevalier y prend et...[rente] qui y prend aussi Alienor sa fille femme de Geoffroy de Maurienne de Mauritonie...”, assigned dowry to "Isabelle sa fille", provided for “Simon de Rochechouard son fils qu’il destine à demeurer dans le monde”, confirmed the donation of “Saint-Auvent à Foucaud son fils” made by “feu messire Simon de Rochechouard archevêque de Bordeaux son oncle”, confirmed the testament of “Mathilde sa femme” whom he named guardian of his grandchildren, and chose burial “en l’église des franciscains de Saint-Junien”[1165]. His date of death is confirmed by the charter dated 1291, relating to his son Simon, which records enquiries made in 1293 "il y avoit dix ans que…[son] père…étoit mort"[1166].

m firstly ([1251]) JEANNE de Tonnay-Charente, daughter of GEOFFROY [IV] Seigneur de Tonnay-Charente & his wife --- de Mauléon (-7 Jan 1264). Her marriage and family origin are confirmed by the charter dated 1291 which records that her son "messire Simon de Rochechouart chevalier seigneur de Saint-Laurent fils de…Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart et de madame Jeanne d’Angles dame de Tonnay-Charente" was only one year old when his mother died in childbirth of his brother Foucaud[1167]. Her parentage is confirmed precisely by the charter dated 30 Mar 1276 relating to the inheritance of “Geoffroy de Tonnay chevalier” and records the part due to “Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart à cause des enfants qu’il avait eus de son mariage avec dame Jeanne fille du dit feu Geoffroy de Tonnay-Charente”[1168]. The estimated date of her marriage is suggested by her having given birth to eight children before she died and the estimated birth date of her husband. “Aymeris viscons de Rochechechaward e Johana sa femme” transferred their part in the inheritance of [her maternal grandfather] “fau Savari de Meileon, ayné a mai Johene, e Ro son fil de Mauleon” to “li nobles homes Aymeris viscons de Thoarz”, part taken “chescun an après la mort Amable femme fau Savari de Mauleon”, referring to “la partie de iceles qui sont serors à moi Johana devant dite”, by charter dated Oct 1254[1169]. Another version of the same document is inaccurate (“Aimeris viscons de Rochechouarde, et Johanna sa femme” sharing the inheritance of "feu Savary de Mauléon, aîné à moi Johan, as le fils de Mauléon dans quas choses, li nobles homos", naming “Aymeris viscons de Thouars, et de l’hommaige fait au camp de Poictiers...”[1170]). Yet another summary of the same document also does not reflect the original: “Aimery Vicomte de Rochechouart et Jeanne de Mauléon sa femme” renounced rights in the succession of “Savary de Mauléon frère aîné de Jeanne et de Raoul fils de Savary” in favour of Aimery [IX] Vicomte de Thouars, in return for annual income, by charter dated Oct 1254[1171]. The problem with this charter is interpreting the correct meaning of the phrase “ayné a mai Johene”. One possibility is that “ayné” indicates that Savary was the older brother of Jeanne, but this appears chronologically impossible if the date of Jeanne’s marriage is correctly estimated and considering that Savary’s father was deceased in [1212]. A more likely possibility is that “ayné” was intended to mean direct ancestor, similar to “aïeul”. A third possibility is that words, elucidating the sense, were omitted from the document. Loquet, in the late 19th century, indicated that Vicomte Aimery [IX] married firstly “Jeanne de Mauléon, sœur aînée de Savari [de Mauléon]”, of whom he was widower at the time of the Jul 1253 charter (see above under her mother)[1172]. Considering the chronology of the Mauléon family this is impossible and presumably represents a misinterpretation of the phrase “ayné à mai Johene” in the Oct 1254 charter. It is clear from the charters dated Jul 1253 and Oct 1254 that the same wife of Aimery is referred to: part (1) of the Jul 1253 charter shows that she was alive at the death of Raoul de Mauléon, Part (2) of the same document shows that she was still alive because her husband is not named on behalf of his children (in contrast to the case of Geoffroy de Tonnay-Charente), and the charter dated Oct 1254 records the Mauléon ancestry of Amaury’s living wife. An epitaph records the death “in octavia Epiphaniæ” in 1263 (presumably O.S.) of "dominæ Johannæ de Tonsis super Charentam, vice-comitissa de Rupe-Cavardi"[1173]. A charter dated 30 Mar 1276 relates to the inheritance of “Geoffroy de Tonnay chevalier” and records the part due to “Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart à cause des enfants qu’il avait eus de son mariage avec dame Jeanne fille du dit feu Geoffroy de Tonnay-Charente”[1174].

m secondly (contract 28 Apr 1264) as her third husband, MATILDA de Ferrers, widow firstly of SIMON de Kyme of Kyme and secondly of GUILLAUME de Vivonne "de Fortibus", daughter of WILLIAM de Ferrers Earl of Derby & his first wife Sibyl Marshal (-11 Mar 1299). The Chronicle of Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire names "Agnes, secunda Isabella, tertia Matilda, quarta Sibilla, quinta Johanna, sexta Alianora, septima Agatha" as the seven daughters of "Willielmo de Ferrers comiti Derbiæ" and his wife "quarta filia…Willihelmi Marescalli…Sibilla", adding that the third daughter "Matilda de Kyme" married "Almarico de Rupe Edwardi" by whom she was mother of "Johanna de Vynon, Cecilia de Bellocampo, Sibilla nupta Almarico de Archiaks in Piganra"[1175], although these named children were born from her second marriage which is not mentioned in this source. The Annals of Ireland record that “Sibilla comitissa de Ferreys” had seven daughters (in order) “septima, Matildis de Kyme, domina de Carbry…”[1176]. A manuscript genealogy of the Gant family records that “Symon de Kyma”, son of “Philippus de Kyma [et] Agnetem Waleys”, married "Matildam de Ferrars"[1177]. Her first marriage is confirmed, and her second marriage, suggested by the 30 Jul 1248 grant by Henry III King of England to "William de Fortibus, son of Hugh de Vivona" of the marriage of "Maud late the wife of Simon de Kyma"[1178]. "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"[1179]. The testament of “Aimery vicomte de Rochechouard, estant sur le point de passer la mer avec le roy de France”, dated end-Jun 1283, confirmed the testament of “Mathilde sa femme” whom he named guardian of his grandchildren[1180].

Aimery [XI] & his first wife had eight children:

1. AIMERY [XII] (-before 1280). His parentage 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"[1181]. It is suggested that "Emery de Roche Chaward" junior in this document must be Aimery [X] as the only reason for naming his father would have been if the latter was still alive. m (contract 28 Apr 1264, before 15 Jul 1269) as her second husband, his stepmother’s daughter, JEANNE de Vivonne, widow of INGRAM de Percy of Dalton Percy, daughter of GUILLAUME de Vivonne "de Fortibus" & his wife Matilda de Ferrers ([1250/52]-1 Jun 1314[1182]). "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"[1183]. Her parentage and marriage are 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"[1184]. She married thirdly Reynold FitzPiers. Aimery [XII] & his wife had two children:

a) AIMERY [XIII] de Rochechouart ([1268/73]-1306, bur Notre-Dame de Rochechouart). The testament of “Aimery vicomte de Rochechouard, estant sur le point de passer la mer avec le roy de France”, dated end-Jun 1283, bequeathed “les châtel et châtellenies de Rochechouard, Brigueil...” to “Aimery son petit-fils, fils de feu Aimery son fils aîné”, and names "lesdits Aimery et Jeanne ses petits-enfants"[1185]. Vicomte de Rochechouart. "Guy et Simon de Rochechouart frères et chevaliers, fils de feu Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart et de Jeanne de Tonnay-Charente" divided territories with "Aimery de Rochechouart damoiseau, fils de feu Aimery leur frère et petit-fils dudit feu vicomte" by charter dated Nov 1291[1186]. The act of emancipation of “Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart damoiseau” is dated 16 Oct 1292[1187]. "Aymericus vice comes de Rupecavardi miles" granted freedoms to the inhabitants of Rochechouart by charter dated Apr 1296[1188]. "Noble homme, messire Aymery vicomte de Rochechouart, chevalier" reached agreement with "Jeanne de Rochechouart sa sœur" concerning the succession of "feu messire Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart leur ayeul", including a future pension after the death of "Jeanne de Vivonne leur mère", on the advice of "Foucaud de Rochechouart doyen de Bourges seigneur de Saint-Auvent, Guy de Rochechouart seigneur de Tonnay-Charente, et Simon de Rochechouart seigneur de Saint-Laurent, chevaliers, leur oncle", by charter dated mid-Jan 1304, witnessed by "Pierre de Verneuil"[1189]. The testament of “Aimery vicomte de Rochechouar”, dated 2 Jun 1305, chose his burial “en l’église de Notre-Dame de Rochechouart”, bequeathed property including “le château et châtellenie de Rochechouart” to “Simon de Rochechouart chevalier seigneur de Saint-Laurent son oncle”, made bequests to "Jehanne sa sœur", and named “...Foucaud de Rochechouart doyen de Bourges...” among the executors, witnessed by “Foucaud de Rochechouart seigneur de Mortemart...”[1190]. m (contract Sep 1298) GERMASIE de Pons, daughter of HELIE Rudel Seigneur de Pons et de Bergerac & his wife Yolande de la Marche [Lusignan] (-after 1307). The marriage contract of “Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart” and "Germaise ou Galmaise sœur de...Raynaud de Pons seigneur de Bergerac au diocèse de Périgueux” is dated Sep 1298, and refers to the testament of “Hélie-Rudel chevalier seigneur de Bergerac, père dudit Raynaud et de ladite dame Galmaise”[1191]. She is not named in her husband’s testament dated 2 Jun 1305. A charter dated 1307 records that "Galmaise de Pons veuve de...Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart" donated “les terres, château, hébergement de la Cossière” to “Simon de Rochechouart chevalier...seigneur de Saint-Laurent”[1192].

b) JEANNE de Rochechouart (-1316, bur Saintes Cordeliers). The testament of “Aimery vicomte de Rochechouard, estant sur le point de passer la mer avec le roy de France”, dated end-Jun 1283, bequeathed “les châtel et châtellenies de Rochechouard, Brigueil...” to “Aimery son petit-fils, fils de feu Aimery son fils aîné”, and names "lesdits Aimery et Jeanne ses petits-enfants"[1193]. “Jeanne de Rochechouart fille de feu Aimery de Rochechouart” donated all her property to “Guyart de Rochechouart varlet son cousin fils de messire Guy de Rochechouart son oncle chevalier seigneur de Tonnay-Charente”, with reversion “à son dit oncle si son dit cousin mouroit sans hoirs”, by charter dated 8 Apr 1295[1194]. "Noble homme, messire Aymery vicomte de Rochechouart, chevalier" reached agreement with "Jeanne de Rochechouart sa sœur" concerning the succession of "feu messire Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart leur ayeul", including a future pension after the death of "Jeanne de Vivonne leur mère", on the advice of "Foucaud de Rochechouart doyen de Bourges seigneur de Saint-Auvent, Guy de Rochechouart seigneur de Tonnay-Charente, et Simon de Rochechouart seigneur de Saint-Laurent, chevaliers, leur oncle", by charter dated mid-Jan 1304, witnessed by "Pierre de Verneuil"[1195]. The testament of “Aimery vicomte de Rochechouar”, dated 2 Jun 1305, chose his burial “en l’église de Notre-Dame de Rochechouart”, made bequests to "Jehanne sa sœur"[1196]. A charter dated 24 Apr 1309 records a dispute between "Simon vicomte de Rochechouart" and “Jeanne de Rochechouart sa nièce, sœur de feu...Aimery de Rochechouart son neveu et chevalier” relating to “la vicomté de Rochechouart, la seigneurie de Brigueuil et l’hébergement de la Cossière”[1197]. The testament of "Jeanne de Rochechouart", dated Nov 1309, chose her burial “aux Cordeliers de Saintes”, appointed “Simon de Rochechouart chevalier son oncle” as her heir, returned to “Pons de Châtillon les meubles que son mary père dudit Pons lui avoit donnés”[1198]. m as his second wife, PONS de Châtillon, son of --- (-before Nov 1309).

2. GUY de Rochechouart (-after Jan 1304). The testament of “Aimery vicomte de Rochechouard, estant sur le point de passer la mer avec le roy de France”, dated end-Jun 1283, bequeathed the "châteaux de Pérusse et de Salanhac...sauf...rente...[qu’]il avoit donnée à P. d’Analhac chevalier pour le dot d’Agnez sa fille femme dudit chevalier" to "Guy son fils chevalier"[1199]. "Guy et Simon de Rochechouart frères et chevaliers, fils de feu Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart et de Jeanne de Tonnay-Charente" divided territories with "Aimery de Rochechouart damoiseau, fils de feu Aimery leur frère et petit-fils dudit feu vicomte" by charter dated Nov 1291, whereby Guy acquired “le château de Tonnay-Charente à la charge de...rente envers Geoffroy de Maurienne damoiseau, mary de dam Aliénor de Rochechouart leur sœur et tante”[1200]. "Noble homme, messire Aymery vicomte de Rochechouart, chevalier" reached agreement with "Jeanne de Rochechouart sa sœur" concerning the succession of "feu messire Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart leur ayeul", including a future pension after the death of "Jeanne de Vivonne leur mère", on the advice of "Foucaud de Rochechouart doyen de Bourges seigneur de Saint-Auvent, Guy de Rochechouart seigneur de Tonnay-Charente, et Simon de Rochechouart seigneur de Saint-Laurent, chevaliers, leur oncle", by charter dated mid-Jan 1304[1201]. m (contract 28 Apr 1264) SIBYLLE de Vivonne, daughter of GUILLAUME de Vivonne "de Fortibus" & his wife Matilda de Ferrers ([1252/53]-after 2 Jul 1306). 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, to Imbert the marriage of "one of the remaining two as he shall choose", and to "Laurence son of Nicholas de Sancto Mauro…the marriage of the remaining one"[1202].

Chapter 10. VICOMTES de SEGUR

1. FOUCHER (-after 1048). A manuscript history of Uzerche monastery records that Turpion Bishop of Limoges divided properties at Uzerche, previously donated, between "dominum Seguris castri Vicecomitis Lemovicensis et Vicecomitis Combornensis"[1329]. Vicomte de Ségur. "Geraldo abbati...Solemniacensis" granted property “in Lemovicino in vicaria Cambolllivensi in villa...Olonziacus”, with the consent of “Fulcherio Vicecomite”, by charter dated to [940/50][1330]. "Adacius abbas...Tutelensis monasterii sancti Martini" granted “in Lemovicino in vicaria Cursiacensi ecclesiam...de Porcaria” to “Fulchardo vicecomite de Segur” by charter dated Sep 948[1331]. Fage suggests that he was Foucher de Limoges, son of Hildebert Vicomte de Limoges & his first wife Adaltrude ---: he states that “à la mort d’Aldebert, son second fils Foucher...conserva seulement la seigneurie de Ségur qu’il avait receuillie dans la succession paternelle”[1332]. However, as can be seen from the 920 charter quoted above, the evidence that Hildebert had a son named Foucher is not conclusive. In support of his argument, Fage also quotes three manuscript versions of the chanson de Gérald de Roussillon which name “e viscoms de Limoges...Girau” (presumably identifiable as Gérard Vicomte de Limoges, son of Vicomte Hildegaire) and state, respectively, that he was “...filz Audoin e neis Fouchau”, “filhs Andevi e nebs Folquau” and “nies Audoin et nies Folquau”[1333]. Fage suggests that “Fouchau/Folquau” indicates Foucher Vicomte de Ségur, while glossing over the difficulty of identifying “Audoin/Andevi” with Vicomte Hildegaire. Dated to the 12th/13th centuries, the chansons de geste are noted more for their literary invention than historical accuracy, akin to the present-day genre of the historical novel, although their historical backdrop is generally broadly correct. They constitute a difficult source on which to rely for precise details of family relationships and, as can be seen above, in any case the texts under consideration provide two alternatives. In addition, it is likely that the word “neis/nebs” is as imprecise as “nepos” in Latin, covering both nephew and grandson. The complication in the present case is introduced by the possible existence at the end of the 9th century of Foucher Vicomte de Limoges (see above), which introduces the possibility that the chanson does not refer to the vicomte de Ségur at all but intends to highlight indistinct family relationships between Vicomte Gérard and supposed earlier vicomtes de Limoges. The existence of some family relationship between the vicomtes de Limoges and the vicomtes de Ségur is confirmed by the 11th century charter under which "Ademarus vicecomes et Geraldus vicecomes consanguineus meus" donated “unum mansum...a Meseirac in vicaria Usercensi” to Uzerche[1334]. Baluze identifies the donors as Adémar Vicomte de Ségur and Géraud Vicomte de Limoges, suggesting that they were first cousins, sons of two brothers[1335]. However, the order of the names of the donors in the document suggests that Adémar was the senior of the two, whereas he would have been junior to Vicomte Gérard if he had been the son of Foucher, younger son of Vicomte Hildegaire. Another possibility is that the relationship between the two families was through the female line, either through Gérard’s mother or one of his grandmothers. The fact that the supposed granddaughter of Vicomte Foucher married the son of Vicomte Gérard suggests that the relationship may have been a more distant one, as the marriage of second cousins at that time would have been unusual. Settipani suggests yet another possibility: that Vicomte Foucher was the nephew of Vicomte Hildegaire[1336].

2. ADEMAR de Ségur (after 987). No primary source has been identified which names Adémar as the son of Foucher Vicomte de Ségur, but this affiliation appears to be a likely possibility. "Ademarus vicecomes et Geraldus vicecomes consanguineus meus" donated “unum mansum...a Meseirac in vicaria Usercensi” to Uzerche by charter dated to the 11th century[1337]. Baluze identifies the donors as Adémar Vicomte de Ségur and Géraud Vicomte de Limoges, suggesting that they were first cousins, sons of two brothers[1338]. Vicomte de Ségur. A manuscript history of Uzerche monastery records that "Ebolus episcopus" succeeded Turpion as bishop of Limoges and names “Abderami Vicecomitis Seguris”[1339]. 950/77. [A fragmentary chronicle of the dukes of Aquitaine records a dispute between “vicecomes Ebles de Thoarcio” and “Ademaro in Lemovicensi pago”, dating it to “defuncto Hildegario vicecomite”[1340]. Fage points out that Lasteyrie has dated this conflict to 963, and suggests that Vicomte Hildegaire’s death should be dated to shortly before this date[1341]. As discussed more fully under Hildegaire Vicomte de Limoges, in the chapter dealing with the vicomtes de Limoges, this “fragmentary chronicle” forms part of a series of documents which was apparently fabricated in the early 17th century.] "Hildegarius Lemovicensium pontifex" granted privileges to Uzerche and names "genitore meo…domno Geraldo vicecomite necnon et genetrice mea Rotilde…vicecomes Lemovicensis Ademarus et uxor sua Melissendis", adding that after the death of "predictus Ademarus…gener ipsius Guido" married "filia ipsius…Emma", by charter dated to [970/86][1342]. m MELISENDE, daughter of --- (-11 Jul [1001]).

Her marriage is confirmed by the charter dated 1025 in which "Guido vicecomes et Emma uxor mea" granted privileges to the abbey of Tourtoirac, for the souls of "…Ademari vicecomitis patris uxoris meæ et matris eius Milissendis"[1344]. "Milisindis" donated "villam…ad Milium" to Uzerche, for the soul of "senioris mei Ademari", by charter dated Apr 1001, signed by "Ilduini episcopi, Guidoni honorabili, Emme uxoris eius"[1345]. Adémar & his wife had one child:

a) EMMA de Ségur ([965]-soon after 1025). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Emma" as wife of "Guido"[1346]. Her parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 1025 under which "Guido vicecomes et Emma uxor mea" granted privileges to the abbey of Tourtoirac, for the souls of "Geraldi patris mei, ac matris meæ Rotildis…Ademari vicecomitis patris uxoris meæ et matris eius Milissendis", with the consent of "Ademaro filio meo et uxore eius Senegunde…filio meo Petrone et uxore eius Sulpitia" and "…Guidone de Turribus…"[1347].

B. VICOMTES de TURENNE (COMTES de COMBORN)

ARCHAMBAUD "Camba-Putrida/Jambe-Pourrie", son of [HUGUES de Rouergue Seigneur de Quercy & his wife ---] (-[1000] or after). According to Europäische Stammtafeln[1423], Archambaud Vicomte de Comborn was the possible son of Hugues Seigneur de Quercy, Vicomte de Comborn, presumably based on his succession to his supposed father at Comborn. "Radulfi, Adalaidis, Eboli episcopi, Eboli fratris eius, Hermenrici, Alduini, Joannis, Geraldi, Bernardi, item Bernardi, Stephani, Arnulfi, Aldiarde, Hermengardis, Archambaldi, Sulpitiæ" witnessed the charter dated Dec 951 under which "Radulfi et Adalaidis uxoris eius" donated their part of property also donated by "Arberti de Chav[ano]"[1424].

"…Archambaldi, Sulpitiæ" witnessed the charter dated Dec 951 under which "Radulfi et Adalaidis uxoris eius" donated their part of property also donated by "Arberti de Chav[ano]"[1428]. The cartulary of Tulle St Martin records a donation by "Archambaldus vicecomes qui cognominatur camba poirida et uxor sua Sulpicia" dated [969][1429]. Her parentage is confirmed by the cartulary of Tulle St Martin which includes an dated charter which records that "Archambaldus de Combor Camba-Putrida…et Ramnulphus Cabridellus" had married "filias huius vicecomitis" which refers to "Bernardum vicecomitem Torenæ" (named in an earlier passage[1430]. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records that "sorore Richardi Normannorum Ducis" was the wife of "Archambaldus Chamba-Putrida" and mother of "Ebolum"[1431], but this appears to result from confusion with the wife of Archambaud's son Ebles (see below).

Vicomte Archambaud & his wife had two children:

1. EBLES de Turenne (-after 1030). "Archambaldus" donated property to Uzerche, for the souls of "filiorum meorum Eboli et Archambaldi", by charter dated Dec 992[1432]. He succeeded as Vicomte de Turenne.

Guillaume of Jumièges records that Richard had two daughters “ex concubinis”, but does not name them[1439]. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records that "sorore Richardi Normannorum Ducis" was the wife of "Archambaldus Chamba-Putrida" and mother of "Ebolum"[1440], but this is difficult to sustain chronologically. The Miracles of Sainte-Foy attribute a miracle to "Lady Beatrice his [Lord Ebalus] wife…soon to lose him through divorce" involving her freeing pilgrims from captivity near Turenne[1441]. The primary source which more clearly confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified.

The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records that "Ebolus" took another wife while his lawful wife was still living, by whom he had "Guillermum et Rotbertum", granting Turenne to Guillaume with the consent of his legitimate son Archambaud. The same source comments that "others say that Guillaume was born from his lawful wife"[1446].

The cartulary of Tulle St Martin records a donation by "Arcambaldus vicecomes de Comborn" dated May [1085] subscribed by "Ebali vicecomitis de Ventedorn fratris sui, Bernardi Bellimontis fratris sui, Bosoni vicecomitis de Torenna consanguinei sui"[1464]. Vicomte de Turenne. "Boso vicecomes de Torena cum uxore mea…Comptores" donated "alodium nostrum…inter castrum Torenæ et montem…Vetula Torena" to Uzerche by charter dated 1074[1465]. The cartulary of Tulle St Martin records a donation by "Boso…vicecomes…in Jerusalem quando obiit" dated 1091[1466].

m firstly CONTORS, daughter of ---. "Boso vicecomes de Torena cum uxore mea…Comptores" donated "alodium nostrum…inter castrum Torenæ et montem…Vetula Torena" to Uzerche by charter dated 1074[1467].

m secondly (after 1074) GERBERGE, daughter of --- (-1103, bur Tulle St Martin). The cartulary of Tulle St Martin records a donation by "Boso vicecomes Torenensis castri et uxor mea Guirberga…filium nostrum Ebalum" dated 1091 which also names "filiis nostris Raymondo et Archambaldo"[1468]. The cartulary of Tulle St Martin records a donation by "Raymundus vicecomes de Torena" made "pro anima matris suæ Guiberganæ que sepulta est apud Tutelam" dated 1103[1469].

Vicomte Boson & his [second] wife had [seven] children:

1. RAYMOND de Turenne (-after [1120]). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Raymundum et Archambaldum de Ribeyrac et Ebolum Abbatem Tutelensem" as sons of "Boso"[1470]. Vicomte de Turenne. The cartulary of Tulle St Martin records a donation by "Boso vicecomes Torenensis castri et uxor mea Guirberga…filium nostrum Ebalum" dated 1091 which also names "filiis nostris Raymondo et Archambaldo"[1471]. The cartulary of Tulle St Martin records a donation by "Raymundus vicecomes filius Bosonis et mater eius" dated 1092[1472]. Orderic Vitalis records that "R. Piletus et Raimondus uicecomes", from the army of Raymond de Saint-Gilles, were among those captured Tortosa in 1097[1473] and, in a later passage, that "Raimundus Piletus et Raimundus de Taurina" were present at the siege of Jerusalem[1474]. Tuebœuf names "Raimundus vicecomes de Torena" among those present with Raymond "de Saint-Gilles" Comte de Toulouse in 1098[1475]. "Arcambaudus vicecomes" donated property to Saint-Etienne de Baigne by charter dated to [1109/21] which names "Raimundus frater Arcambaudi"[1476]. "Raimundus vicecomes de Torenna" donated property "in parochia Sancti Pantaleonis de Rot" to Uzerche, for the soul "patris mei Bosonis et avi mei Guillelmi", by charter dated to [1120][1477]. "Raimundus de Torenna vicecomes" confirmed the donation to Uzerche by "Bosonis patris sui, Archambaldi et Bernardi vicecomitum" by charter dated 24 Sep [1113/22][1478]. A charter dated 1178 records that “coms Willelmes d’Alvergne” granted property “à sain Ceré” to “vescomte Raymun de Torena”, recites the later history of the property, and names “...Giralz, que ero fraire al vescomte Ramund...” among those present at a related transaction[1479]. As Vicomte Raymond [II] (vicomte in 1178) had no legitimate brothers (see below), it is likely that this document relates to Raymond [I]. If that is correct, the grantor was Guillaume [VI] Comte d’Auvergne. m as her first husband, MATHILDE du Perche, daughter of GEOFFROY Comte du Perche & his wife Beatrix de Ramerupt [Roucy] (before 1100-27 May 1143, bur Arnac). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records the marriage of "Guidonem", son of "Gerardus", and "Matilde, matre Bosonis de Torena quæ Arnaco condita est"[1480]. In another passage, the Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records that "Raymundus" married "Mathilde…soror Comitis de Pertico"[1481]. She married secondly Guy "le Gros" de Lastours. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records the death "V Kal Jun" of "Mathildis uxor quondam Raymundi de Torenna" and her burial by "Guidone…Crassus viro suo filio Geraldi de Turribus" at "Arnaco", recording that her son Boson was killed within one month of his mother's death[1482]. The necrology of Saint-Martial records the death “IV Kal Jun” of “Matheldis vicecomitissa”[1483]. It is not certain that this entry relates to Mathilde du Perche Vicomtesse de Turenne, but no other vicomtesse of this name has yet been identified in the Limousin area. Vicomte Raymond & his wife had three children:

a) BOSON [II] de Turenne (-killed in battle Saint-Paul la Roche 19 Jun 1143). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Bosonem" as son of "Raymundus" and his wife "Mathilde…soror Comitis de Pertico", adding that Boso was killed "a la Rocha S. Pauli"[1484]. He succeeded as Vicomte de Turenne.

- see below.

b) MANGNE de Turenne (-after 1172). The cartulary of Tulle St Martin records a donation by "Ademarus vicecomes Lemovicensis et Aimericus de Gordo mariti duarum sororum Bosonis, Mangnæ et Margaritæ" dated 21 Dec 1143 made "pro anima Bosonis vicecomitis de Torenna qui gladio corruit" on the day of his burial, authorised by "Ebolus vicecomes de Ventedorn et Archambaldus vicecomes de Comborn", and made "in manu domni Ebali abbatis Tutellensis patrui ipsius Bosonis"[1485]. m AIMERY de Gourdon, son of --- (-[1152/59]).

c) MARGUERITE de Turenne (-21 Oct [1186/1202]). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Margarita sorore Bosonis de Torenna" as wife of "Brunicendis filius Ademarus"[1486]. Her parentage and first marriage are confirmed by the cartulary of Tulle St Martin which records a donation by "Ademarus vicecomes Lemovicensis et Aimericus de Gordo mariti duarum sororum Bosonis, Mangnæ et Margaritæ" dated 21 Dec 1143 made "pro anima Bosonis vicecomitis de Torenna qui gladio corruit" on the day of his burial, authorised by "Ebolus vicecomes de Ventedorn et Archambaldus vicecomes de Comborn", and made "in manu domni Ebali abbatis Tutellensis patrui ipsius Bosonis"[1487]. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records that "Ademaro vicecomite Lemovicensi, sponsam illius Margaretam, sororem Bosonis de Torenna" married "Ebolus Ventadorensis, filius Eboli Cantatoria" after her first husband died, but that the marriage ended after two years because of their consanguinity[1488]. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records that "Ademaro vicecomite Lemovicensi, sponsam illius Margaretam, sororem Bosonis de Torenna" married thirdly "Guillermus Sector-ferri Comes Engolismensis, multorum pater liberorum"[1489]. "Vuillelmus Talafers comes Engolismensis Vulgrini filius et Margarita uxor mea et filii nostri Vulgrinus scilicet primogenitus noster, Vuillelmus Talafers, Ademarus, Grisetus, Fulco et Almodis filia nostra uxor Amanei de Lebret" transferred rights to Saint-Amant-de-Boixe by charter dated 1171[1490]. The necrology of Saint-Martial records the death “XII Kal Nov” of “Margarita Engolismensis comitissa, mater Ademari vicecomitis” and her donation[1491]. m firstly ADEMAR [IV] Vicomte de Limoges, son of ARCHAMBAUD [IV] "le Barbu" Vicomte de Comborn & his wife Humberge [Brunissent] de Limoges (-1148). m secondly (1148 or after, divorced [1150/51]) as his first wife, EBLES [III] Vicomte de Ventadour, son of EBLES [II] Vicomte de Ventadour & his wife Agnes de Montluçon (-1170, bur Montecassino). m thirdly ([1150/51]) as his second wife, GUILLAUME VI "Taillefer" Comte d'Angoulême, son of VULGRIN II Comte d'Angoulême & his first wife Pontia de La Marche (-Messina 7 Aug 1179, bur Messina).

2. ARCHAMBAUD de Turenne (-1117). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Raymundum et Archambaldum de Ribeyrac et Ebolum Abbatem Tutelensem" as sons of "Boso"[1492]. The cartulary of Tulle St Martin records a donation by "Boso vicecomes Torenensis castri et uxor mea Guirberga…filium nostrum Ebalum" dated 1091 which also names "filiis nostris Raymondo et Archambaldo"[1493]. The cartulary of Tulle St Martin records a donation by "Raymundus vicecomes Torennensis" of property "in manu domni Ebali abbatis fratris mei, quam postea concessit frater meus Arcambaldus vicecomes de Ribairac" dated 11 Mar 1116[1494]. "Arcambaudus vicecomes" donated property to Saint-Etienne de Baigne by charter dated to [1109/21] which names "Raimundus frater Arcambaudi"[1495]. Vicomte de Ribérac. "Raymundus vicecomes Torennensis" donated property to the abbey of Tulle naming "domni Ebali abbatis fratris mei…frater meus Arcambaldus vicecomes de Ribairac" by charter dated 11 Mar 1116[1496]. The cartulary of Tulle St Martin records a donation by "Raimundus vicecomes de Torrenna" made "pro anima fratris sui Arcambaldi" dated 1117[1497]. m ---. The name of Archambaud's wife is not known. Archambaud & his wife had [one possible child]:

a) [RAYMOND de Turenne (-after 1167). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. However, his use of the title Vicomte de Ribérac suggests that he inherited this from his supposed father Archambaud. In addition, his daughter Raymonde named her second son Archambaud, which suggests that descent from Archambaud de Turenne is likely. It is unlikely that this Raymond was a younger brother of Boson [II] Vicomte de Turenne in view of the donation made by the latter's two brothers-in-law after his death, in which a surviving brother would presumably have been associated. Vicomte de Turenne et de Ribérac. "Raemundus de Ribeirac vicecomes" donated property to Notre-Dame de Chancelade, on the advice of "Rudelli comitis", by undated charter dated to [1115/55][1498]. "Raimundus vicecomes de Torena et de Ribairac" donated property to Notre-Dame de Chancelade, by undated charter dated to [1143/68][1499]. "Raimundus vicecomes Turennensis…et…Talairans gener prædicti vicecomitis" donated property in "mansum de las Treilas" to Notre-Dame de Dalon by charter dated 1167[1500]. It appears unlikely that Raymond had any surviving sons as the title Vicomte de Ribérac was later used by the second son of his daughter Raymonde. m ---. The name of Raymond's wife is not known. Raymond & his wife had one child:

i) RAYMONDE ([1135/45]-). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 1167 under which "Raimundus vicecomes Turennensis…et…Talairans gener prædicti vicecomitis" donated property in "mansum de las Treilas" to Notre-Dame de Dalon by charter dated 1167[1501]. Stroński suggests convincingly that her father was a son of Archambaud de Turenne Vicomte de Ribérac, son of Boson [I] Vicomte de Turenne[1502]. Her birth date range, estimated on the basis of the birth date ranges of her descendants, demonstrates that she could not have been the daughter of Raymond [II] Vicomte de Turenne (who was born posthumously in [1143/44]). Her name is confirmed by the charter dated to [1180] under which "Helias Talairanz comes Petragoricensis et Raimunda comitissa uxor illius" donated property "loco de Landia" {La Lande, a priory of the abbey of Chancelade} to Notre-Dame de Chancelade, which specifies that the donation was made in "castello de Monpao quod uxor sua Raimonda possidebat"[1503]. This is the château and châtellenie of Montpaon, a name subsequently distorted into Montpont {Montpont-Ménestérol, Dordogne}, which she brought to her husband as dowry. Her name is stated as Mathilde in Europäische Stammtafeln[1504] which is an error. m (1167 or before) HELIE [VI] TALAIRAND Comte de Périgord, son of BOSON [IV] Comte de Périgord & his wife Contors --- (-[1211]).

3. GUILLAUME de Turenne (-1105). The cartulary of Tulle St Martin records a donation by "Raimundus vicecomes de Torenna" made "pro anima fratris sui Willelmi" dated 1105[1505].

4. [GERARD . A charter dated 1178 records that “coms Willelmes d’Alvergne” granted property “à sain Ceré” to “vescomte Raymun de Torena”, recites the later history of the property, and names “...Giralz, que ero fraire al vescomte Ramund...” among those present at a related transaction[1506]. As Vicomte Raymond [II] (vicomte in 1178) had no legitimate brothers (see below), it is likely that this document relates to Raymond [I]. If that is correct, the grantor was Guillaume [VI] Comte d’Auvergne.]

5. EBLES de Turenne (-8 Nov [1148/51], bur Limoges Saint-Marcial). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Raymundum et Archambaldum de Ribeyrac et Ebolum Abbatem Tutelensem" as sons of "Boso", commenting that Ebles was buried "apud S. Martialem Lemovicas"[1507]. The cartulary of Tulle St Martin records a donation by "Boso vicecomes Torenensis castri et uxor mea Guirberga…filium nostrum Ebalum" dated 1091 which also names "filiis nostris Raymondo et Archambaldo"[1508]. The cartulary of Tulle St Martin records a donation by "Ademarus vicecomes Lemovicensis et Aimericus de Gordo mariti duarum sororum Bosonis, Mangnæ et Margaritæ" dated 21 Dec 1143 made "pro anima Bosonis vicecomitis de Torenna qui gladio corruit" on the day of his burial, authorised by "Ebolus vicecomes de Ventedorn et Archambaldus vicecomes de Comborn", and made "in manu domni Ebali abbatis Tutellensis patrui ipsius Bosonis"[1509]. Abbé de Tulle. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records the death "VIII Id Nov" of "abbas Ebolus Tutolensis…frater Raimundi de Torenna et Archambaldi de Ribeyrac, et filius Bosonis", dateable to [1148/51] from the context[1510].

6. ALPAIS de Turenne . The cartulary of Tulle St Martin records a donation by "Alpaiz uxor comiti d'Ermaniaco…filia Bosonis vicecomitis Torennensis" dated Mar [1113][1511]. Her marriage date is confirmed by the charter dated to [1095] under which "Bernardus iuvenis Armaniacensis comes" donated property to the monastery of Saint-Mont, on the advice of "uxoris mea", although she is unnamed in the document[1512]. m ([1095] or before) BERNARD [III] Comte d'Armagnac, son of GERAUD [II] Comte d'Armagnac & his first wife Azivelle de Lomagne (-1110).

7. ETIENNETTE de Turenne . The cartulary of Tulle St Martin records a donation by "Stephana de Bellocastro, soror Raymundi vicecomitis de Torena, uxor Ugonis de Bellocastro" on the advice of "Ugonis de Bellocastro viri sui et Willelmi filii sui", undated but dated to [1116][1513]. m HUGUES de Belcastel, son of ---.

BOSON [II] de Turenne, son of RAYMOND [I] Vicomte de Turenne & his wife Mathilde du Perche (-killed in battle Saint-Paul la Roche 19 Jun 1143). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Bosonem" as son of "Raymundus" and his wife "Mathilde…soror Comitis de Pertico", adding that Boso was killed "a la Rocha S. Pauli"[1514]. He succeeded as Vicomte de Turenne. "Bozo vicecomes de Torena" donated property to Notre-Dame de Chancelade, by undated charter dated to [1129/43][1515]. The cartulary of Tulle St Martin records a donation by "Ademarus vicecomes Lemovicensis et Aimericus de Gordo mariti duarum sororum Bosonis, Mangnæ et Margaritæ" dated 21 Dec 1143 made "pro anima Bosonis vicecomitis de Torenna qui gladio corruit" on the day of his burial, authorised by "Ebolus vicecomes de Ventedorn et Archambaldus vicecomes de Comborn", and made "in manu domni Ebali abbatis Tutellensis patrui ipsius Bosonis", recording that Boso was killed "XIII Kal Jul in quodam bello ad Rocam Saim Paul"[1516]. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records the death of Boson during the siege of "castrum Guidonis Flamenc…Roca S. Pauli"[1517].

m EUSTORGIE d'Anduze, daughter of [BERNARD [II] d'Anduze co-Seigneur d’Alès & his wife ---] ([1115/28?]after 1174). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "filia Bernardi de Anduza de Aleth…Eustorgia" as wife of "Boso"[1518]. Her date of birth is estimated from her having given birth to her son in [Oct] 1143, which if correct indicates that from a chronological point of view Eustorgie could have been the daughter of Bernard [II] d’Anduze co-Seigneur d’Alès. The reference to “Aleth” (=Alès) also suggests that Eustorgie was his daughter. "Eustorgia vicecomitissa de Torenna, quæ conjux fuit Bosonis vicecomitis de Torenna", who was killed, donated "terram et boscum de Masairolas" to Uzerche, for the soul of her husband, by charter dated 1174[1519].

Vicomte Boson [II] & his wife had one child:

1. RAYMOND [II] "posthumus" ([Oct] 1143-Acre [1191]). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records the birth of "Eustorgia…ex Bosone…filium Raymundum" four months after his father was killed[1520]. Another passage in the Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Raymundum" as son of "Boso" and his wife "filia Bernardi de Anduza de Aleth…Eustorgia", commenting that he bought "castrum de Brassac de Vicecomite Guillermo" and acquired "principatum castelli Salagniacensis de Raymundo Comite Tolosano"[1521]. Vicomte de Turenne. "Raimundus vicecomes de Torenna" granted exemptions from taxes to Notre-Dame de Dalon by charter dated 27 Jan 1184[1522]. Raymond V Comte de Toulouse confirmed “omne dominium quod Bernardus de Castronovo pater vicecomitissæ uxoris tuæ possidet in Castronovo” to “Raymundo vicecomiti Turenæ” by charter dated Oct 1184[1523]. A notice in the Cartulary of Beaulieu dated 1190 concerning a dispute between "Raimondus de Turenna" and the abbey of Beaulieu names "Boso filius eius" and is witnessed by "vicecomitissa supradicti R vicecomitis uxore Heliz"[1524]. “Raymundus vicecomes Turenæ...Boso filius meus” swore homage to the bishop of Quercy for “feodo de Brassac”, bought from “Guillelmo vicecomite de Calviniac et Raymundo fratre eius”, by charter dated 1190[1525]. Benedict of Peterborough names "vicecomes de Turonia" among those who died at the siege of Acre[1526]. m HELIE, daughter of BERNARD de Castelnau & his wife --- (-after 1214). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Helis filia Bernardi de Castelnau" as wife of "Raymundus"[1527]. Raymond V Comte de Toulouse confirmed “omne dominium quod Bernardus de Castronovo pater vicecomitissæ uxoris tuæ possidet in Castronovo” to “Raymundo vicecomiti Turenæ” by charter dated Oct 1184[1528]. The following document shows that the transfer of the Castlenau properties to Raymond [II] Vicomte de Turenne by-passed the normal inheritance route, as the son of Bernard de Castelnau was excluded from his father’s succession, presumably because of a quarrel with his suzerain the comte de Toulouse: a charter dated 1219 records disputes between “R. Turenæ vicecomes” and “Matfredum de Castronovo” relating to an agreement made between “Bernardus de Castronovo pater prædicti Matfredi” and “domino Raymundo bonæ memoriæ patri prædicti vicecomitis”[1529]. A notice in the Cartulary of Beaulieu dated 1190 concerning a dispute between "Raimondus de Turenna" and the abbey of Beaulieu names "Boso filius eius" and is witnessed by "vicecomitissa supradicti R vicecomitis uxore Heliz"[1530]. "Heliz vicecomitissa Turennensis" made a charter dated 1203[1531]. She became a nun at Obasine. “Raymundus vicecomes de Turena filius Raymundi vicecomitis” donated property to Obasine, when “mater mea vicecomitissa de Turena, Helis” entered there as a nun, for the soul of “fratris mei Bosonis”, by charter dated 1209[1532]. “Dominus Raymundus vicecomes Turenæ” confirmed a donation to Beaulieu made by “dominus Raymundus pater suus” confirming the donation made by “avus suus B. de Castronovo”, with the consent of “dominæ Heliz vicecomitissæ de Turena matris suæ”, by charter dated 1214[1533]. Vicomte Raymond [II] & his wife had five children:

a) BOSON [III] (-[1190/91]). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Raymundum…et Bosonem" as children of "Raymundus" and his wife "Helis filia Bernardi de Castelnau", adding that Boson died from burns while he was hostage[1534]. The following two documents, which name Boson without his brother Raymond [III], suggest that Boson was the older brother and heir to their father. A notice in the Cartulary of Beaulieu dated 1190 concerning a dispute between "Raimondus de Turenna" and the abbey of Beaulieu names "Boso filius eius" and is witnessed by "vicecomitissa supradicti R vicecomitis uxore Heliz"[1535]. “Raymundus vicecomes Turenæ...Boso filius meus” swore homage to the bishop of Quercy for “feodo de Brassac”, bought from “Guillelmo vicecomite de Calviniac et Raymundo fratre eius”, by charter dated 1190[1536]. If it is correct that Boson was his father’s older son, he presumably predeceased his father. m ---. The name of Boson’s wife is not known. A possible indication of her family origin is provided by the name Dauphine given to her supposed younger daughter, a name particularly associated with the Clermont/Auvergne family. Boson [III] & his wife had [two children]:

i) [MARGUERITE (-after 1267). The primary source which confirms her parentage has not been identified. It is suggested by the charter dated 1267 quoted below, which indicates that the succession to Turenne was challenged. This challenge is best explained if Marguerite and her sister Dauphine had a senior claim to the vicomté, as daughters of Boson [III], but were set aside in favour of their paternal uncle Raymond [III] when their father died, being infants at the time. A late-13th/early 14th century monument names "dominus Archambaldus vicecomes de Combornio et dominus Bernardus filius eius et…domina Margarita mater dicti domini Archambaldi…"[1537]. A monumental inscription records the deaths of “dominus Archambaldus vicecomes de Combornio et dominus Bernardus filius eius et dominus Archambaldus filius domini Bernardi et domina Margarita mater dicti domini Archambaldi et dominus Guido filius domini Archambaldi”[1538]. A decision of the Paris parliament dated 1267 confirmed their inheritance to “la vicomtesse de Comborn et Delphine de Rochafolio sœurs” against “le vicomte de Turenne”[1539]. m (Aug 1207) BERNARD [II] Vicomte de Comborn, son of ARCHAMBAUD [VI] Vicomte de Comborn & his wife Guicharde de Beaujeu (-after Aug 1256).]

ii) [DAUPHINE (-6 Jun 1270). A decision of the Paris parliament dated 1267 confirmed their inheritance to “la vicomtesse de Comborn et Delphine de Rochafolio sœurs” against “le vicomte de Turenne”[1540]. m RAYMOND [II] Seigneur de Roquefeuil, son of RAYMOND [I] d’Anduze Seigneur de Roquefeuil & his wife Guillemette “Marchisia” de Montpellier (-after 24 Aug 1229).]

b) RAYMOND [III] (-[1219/May 1221]). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Raymundum…et Bosonem" as children of "Raymundus" and his wife "Helis filia Bernardi de Castelnau", adding that Raymond was wounded in the head[1541]. Vicomte de Turenne.

- see below.

c) CONTORS ([1164/70]-). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "filiam Raymundi Vicecomitis de Torenna…Contors" as wife of "Heliam", son of "Archambaldus"[1542]. Bertrand de Born refers to "las tres de Torena" whose beauty he celebrated in one of his love poems, dated to winter 1182/83, Stroński identifying them as the three sisters Contors, Marie and Hélie[1543]. m (before 1184) HELIE de Comborn, son of ARCHAMBAUD [V] Vicomte de Comborn & his wife Jordana de Périgord (-[1184/87]).

d) MARIE (-after 1221). Bertrand de Born refers to "las tres de Torena" whose beauty he celebrated in one of his love poems, dated to winter 1182/83, Stroński identifying them as the three sisters Contors, Marie and Hélie[1544]. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Maria sorore Raymundi de Torenna" as second wife of "Ebolus"[1545]. A charter dated May 1221 records the settlement of a dispute between “Ebolus vicecomes de Ventodoro et...Margareta [error for Maria?] uxor eius vicecomitissa et...Raymundus et Ebalus filii eorum” and Grandmont monastery, naming “Raymundum vicecomitem de Torena et Raimundum fratrem eius” as guarantors[1546]. m (after [1191/95]) as his second wife, EBLES [V] Vicomte de Ventadour, son of EBLES [IV] dit ARCHAMBAUD Vicomte de Ventadour & his wife Sibylle de Faye ([1171/75]-1236 or after).

e) HELIE (-after 1214). Bertrand de Born refers to "las tres de Torena" whose beauty he celebrated in one of his love poems, dated to winter 1182/83, Stroński identifying them as the three sisters Contors, Marie and Hélie[1547]. The Chronicle of Pierre des Vaux-de-Cernay records that "soror vicecomitis Torenæ" was the wife of "dominus…castri [Monsfortis]…Bernardus de Causacio" when reporting their cruelty [in 1214][1548]. Raymond Vicomte de Turenne names "B. de Casnac et Heliz uxor eius" in a charter dated 1214 which records that Simon de Montfort had confiscated their property, which was restored to Vicomte Raymond[1549]. m BERNARD de Casnac {Beynac-et-Cazenac, arr. Sarlat, Dordogne} Seigneur d'Allac {Aillac, Carlux, arr. Sarlat, Dordogne}, de Montfort {Vitrac, arr. Sarlat, Dordogne} et de Domme, son of --- (-after 1214).

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.

RAYMOND [III] de Turenne, son of RAYMOND [II] Vicomte de Turenne & his wife Hélie de Castelnau (-[1219/May 1221]). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Raymundum…et Bosonem" as children of "Raymundus" and his wife "Helis filia Bernardi de Castelnau", adding that Raymond was wounded in the head[1550]. Vicomte de Turenne. “Raymundus vicecomes de Turena filius Raymundi quondam vicecomitis” confirmed donations made to Obasine by “pater eius et frater vel...avus eorum” by charter dated 1202[1551]. “Raymundus vicecomes de Turena filius Raymundi vicecomitis” donated property to Obasine, when “mater mea vicecomitissa de Turena, Helis” entered there as a nun, for the soul of “fratris mei Bosonis”, by charter dated 1209[1552]. Seigneur de Sévérac, de iure uxoris: Pedro II King of Aragon confirmed “castrum et villam de Severaco” to “Raymundo de Torena”, just as “Guido de Severac pater uxoris tuæ... [socer quondam meus]” had held it, by charter dated 1211[1553]. Maybe he lost Sévérac after the death of his [second] wife, which would have removed the basis for his succession to the seigneurie. “Dominus Raymundus vicecomes Turenæ” confirmed a donation to Beaulieu made by “dominus Raymundus pater suus” confirming the donation made by “avus suus B. de Castronovo”, with the consent of “dominæ Heliz vicecomitissæ de Turena matris suæ”, by charter dated 1214[1554]. “Raymundus vicecomes Turenæ” swore allegiance to “domino Simoni comiti Leycestriæ, domino Montisfortis...Biterri et Carcassonæ vicecomiti” by charter dated Jun 1214[1555]. A charter dated 1219 records disputes between “R. Turenæ vicecomes” and “Matfredum de Castronovo” relating to an agreement made between “Bernardus de Castronovo pater prædicti Matfredi” and “domino Raymundo bonæ memoriæ patri prædicti vicecomitis”[1556].

[m firstly ---. This first marriage is suggested because no record has been found of any of Vicomte Raymond [III]’s descendants claiming the seigneurie de Sévérac, which would be expected if they were descended from Raymond’s known wife Hélie de Sévérac.]

m [secondly] HELIE de Sévérac, daughter of [GUY [IV] Seigneur de Sévérac & his wife Beatrix de Canilhac] (-after 1211). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 1211 under which Pedro II King of Aragon confirmed “castrum et villam de Severaco” to “Raymundo de Torena”, just as “Guido de Severac pater uxoris tuæ... [socer quondam meus]” had held it[1557]. It is likely that Guy [IV] was Hélie’s father, and that she was his older daughter, otherwise it is difficult to explain her husband’s succession to Sévérac after Guy [IV] died. If that is correct, the absence of any indication of Vicomte Raymond’s successors claiming Sévérac suggests that Hélie died childless and therefore that she was her husband’s second wife.

Raymond [III] & his [first] wife had two children:

1. RAYMOND [IV] (-before 17 Dec 1243). Vicomte de Turenne. “Raymundum vicecomitem de Torena et Raimundum fratrem eius” are named as guarantors in a charter dated 1221 which records the settlement of a dispute between “Ebolus vicecomes de Ventodoro et...Margareta uxor eius vicecomitissa et...Raymundus et Ebalus filii eorum” and Grandmont monastery[1558]. “Matfredus de Castronovo” swore allegiance to “domino Raimundo vicecomiti de Turena” for “castellum meum de Castronovo”, naming as fiduciaries “dominum Eustorgium de Aureliano, G. de Malemort, dominum Raimundum de Turena, Raimundum de Ventedorn et Ebolum fratrem suum”, by charter dated 24 Mar 1221 (O.S.?)[1559]. He died before 17 Dec 1243, the date of the charter quoted below which records the succession of his brother to the vicomté. m (contract Dec 1208) ALIX d'Auvergne, daughter of GUY [II] Comte d'Auvergne & his wife Petronille de Chambon (-after 21 Feb 1250). An undated charter records the marriage of "Raimundus vicecomes Torenæ" and "filiam Guidonis comitis Arvernorum"[1560]. "Hahliz vicecomitissa Turennæ" records a debt to "fratri nostro Guillelmo quondam comiti Claromontensi" and payment to "nepoti nostro Rotberto comiti Claromontensi filio prædicti fratris nostri", by charter dated 13 Sep 1247[1561]. "Haelis relicta Raimundi quondam vicecomitis Turennæ", under her testament dated 24 Feb 1250, refers to the dowry granted by "bonæ memoriæ Guidone quondam comite Claromontensi patre meo" and appointed "filiam meam Haelis uxorem Heliæ Rudelli junioris" as her heir[1562]. Raymond [IV] & his wife had one child:

a) ALIX (-1251, after Jun, bur Obasine). She was excluded from succession to the vicomté de Turenne as shown by the following document: “Guido vicecomes Lemovicensis” informed Blanche Queen of France that until now no “filia alicuius vicecomitis Turenæ” had succeeded to the vicomté if the ruling vicomte had no male heirs, and therefore that “nobilis vir Raimundus de Servieria consanguineus noster, frater R. vicecomitis quondam Turenæ” had succeeded his brother, by charter dated 17 Dec 1243[1563]. "Haelis relicta Raimundi quondam vicecomitis Turennæ", under her testament dated 24 Feb 1250, refers to the dowry granted by "bonæ memoriæ Guidone quondam comite Claromontensi patre meo" and appointed "filiam meam Haelis uxorem Heliæ Rudelli junioris" as her heir[1564]. Blanche Queen of France notified an agreement between “nobilem virum Heliam Rudelli et Helis uxorem suam” and “Raimundum Torenæ vicecomitem” concerning “vicecomitatu Turenæ”, claimed by “dictus Helias...nomine prædictæ Helips uxoris suæ et nomine Raimundi vicecomitis Turenæ patris sui” which “dictus Raymundus vicecomes nepos vicecomitis memorati” rejected, dividing the territories of the vicomté between them, by charter dated Jun 1251[1565]. By her testament dated 1251, “Domina Haelis uxor domini Heliæ Rudelli junioris” chose burial at Obesine and appointed “filiæ meæ Margaritæ” as her heir, in the presence of “Helias Rudelli junior”[1566]. m as his first wife, HELIE RUDEL [III] Seigneur de Bergerac, de Genissac et de Blaye, son of HELIE RUDEL [II] Seigneur de Bergerac & his wife Géraude de Gensac (-before 18 Jun 1254).

2. RAYMOND [V] (-after Nov 1245). “Raymundum vicecomitem de Torena et Raimundum fratrem eius” are named as guarantors in a charter dated 1221 which records the settlement of a dispute between “Ebolus vicecomes de Ventodoro et...Margareta uxor eius vicecomitissa et...Raymundus et Ebalus filii eorum” and Grandmont monastery[1567]. Seigneur de Servières et de Malemort.

Seigneur de Servières et de Malemort. “Raymundus de Turena dominus de Serueria et de Malamorte” reached agreement with the convent of Brives “ratione dotis predictæ uxoris nostræ”, with the consent of “domini P. de Malamorte soceri nostri et...Alamandæ uxoris nostræ filiæ ipsius”, by charter dated 1235, sealed by “prædictus P. de Malamorte...G. dominus de Malomorte pro nobis et pro Helia fratre nostro...”[1570]. “Guido vicecomes Lemovicensis” informed Blanche Queen of France that until now no “filia alicuius vicecomitis Turenæ” had succeeded to the vicomté if the ruling vicomte had no male heirs, and therefore that “nobilis vir Raimundus de Servieria consanguineus noster, frater R. vicecomitis quondam Turenæ” had succeeded his brother, by charter dated 17 Dec 1243[1571]. This succession was disputed: in the following document, Raimond [V] does not call himself vicomte, and the charter dated Jun 1251 quoted below records the settlement of the ensuing dispute. “Raimundus de Turena”, suffering from illness (“in infirmitate positus”), appointed “Raimundum filium meum primogenitum” as his heir to the vicomté, “Bosonem filium meum” as his heir “in terra Brivensi”, “Guidonem filium meum” as his heir in “terre de Serveira”, and appointed “nepotes meos Ebolum de Ventedorn dominum Carlucii et G. de Malamorte...milites” as executors, by testament dated Nov 1245, witnessed by “B. de Ventdorn archidiaconus Lemovicensis...”[1572].

The necrology of Cahors records the death 13 Jul of “dominus Contors de Turena quondam noverca domini Bertrandi de Cardailhaco” and her burial “in capella B.

C. VICOMTES de TURENNE (ROGIER de BEAUFORT)

A minor noble family originating from Rosier in Limousin, the Rogier owed their ascendance to ecclesiastical appointments in the early 14th century. Providing two Popes based at Avignon, the influence of Pope Clement VI, the earlier appointee, procured the royal grant of Beaufort-en-Vallée in Anjou in favour of his brother Guillaume [II] Rogier. Beaufort was raised to comital status shortly afterwards. Guillaume [II]’s oldest son bought the vicomté de Turenne from Cécile de Comminges in 1350.

1. PIERRE Rogier . Seigneur de Rosier [en Limousin]. m ---. The name of Pierre’s wife is not known. Pierre & his wife had three children:

a) GUILLAUME [I] Rogier . A manuscript genealogy of the Beaufort family (date not specified) names “Guillelmum Rogerii dominum de Roserio...Nicolaum Rothomagensem archiepiscopum et Peronam uxorem Petri domini de Vigeria” as the children of “Petrus Rogerii dominus de Roserio in terra de Malomonte”[1629]. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Guillaume’s wife has not been identified. According to Justel, she was Marie de Chambon: a manuscript genealogy of the Beaufort family (date not specified) names “Guillelmum Rogerii dominum de Roserio...” as the son of “Petrus Rogerii dominus de Roserio in terra de Malomonte”, adding that his wife was “Mariam de Chambonio”[1630]. This document cannot be considered conclusive as, on many points of detail, it can be shown to be inaccurate or incomplete as can be seen below. Nevertheless, Guillaume [I]’s son Guillaume [II] was referred to in sources quoted below as seigneur de Chambon, without any indication that he inherited the seigneurie from his mother. According to Baluze, the mother of Pope Clement VI was “Guillelma” although he cites no primary source on which he bases this information[1631]. Guillaume [I] & his wife had seven children:

i) GUILLAUME [II] Rogier (-after 27 Aug 1379). A manuscript genealogy of the Beaufort family (date not specified) names “Guillelmum comitem Bellifortis, Petrum cardinalem postea Papam Clementem VI, Hugonem cardinalem, Ioannem” as the four sons of “Guillelmus Rogerii dominus de Roserio et de Chambonio, ratione Mariæ de Chambonio uxoris suæ”[1632]. Comte de Beaufort [Beaufort-en-Vallée, Anjou].

ii) PIERRE Rogier (-Dec 1352). A manuscript genealogy of the Beaufort family (date not specified) names “Guillelmum comitem Bellifortis, Petrum cardinalem postea Papam Clementem VI, Hugonem cardinalem, Ioannem” as the four sons of “Guillelmus Rogerii dominus de Roserio et de Chambonio, ratione Mariæ de Chambonio uxoris suæ”[1633]. According to Baluze, he was born “in patria Lemovicensi et castro Malimontis ex patre et matre Guillelma” although he cites no primary source on which he bases this information[1634]. According to Gallia Christiana, his father was “Petrum Roseriarium toparcham” (which apparently skips a generation in the Rogier family, assuming that the manuscript genealogy quoted above is accurate) and as a boy he became a monk at Chaise-Dieu, Auvergne[1635]. Abbot of Fécamp. Bishop of Arras 24 Jan 1329. Archbishop of Sens 12 Dec 1329. Archbishop of Rouen 12 Dec 1330. Cardinal. He was elected as Pope CLEMENT VI at Avignon 7 May 1342.

iii) HUGUES Rogier (-1363). A manuscript genealogy of the Beaufort family (date not specified) names “Guillelmum comitem Bellifortis, Petrum cardinalem postea Papam Clementem VI, Hugonem cardinalem, Ioannem” as the four sons of “Guillelmus Rogerii dominus de Roserio et de Chambonio, ratione Mariæ de Chambonio uxoris suæ”[1636]. Cardinal 1342. “Domino Ademaro de Pictavia milite filio quondam...domini Ademari de Pictavia comitis Valentin. et Dien. heredeque...quondam bonæ memoriæ dominæ Poliæ de Pictavia vicecomitissæ Podompniaci et dominæ castrorum de Bouzolio et de Seruissac ac Boriæ de Cordaco Aniciens. Diœces.” appointed “Domini Hugonis Rogerii, S. Laurentii in Damaso presbyteri, cardinalis” as proxy for the sale of property, guaranteeing the consent to the sale by “Henrico et Karolo de Pictavia fratribus dicti venditoris...Randonnetus de Randone vicecomes Podompniaci infra annum postquam maior fuerit XIV annis” relating to an agreement between “quondam bonæ memoriæ...dominum Ludovicum de Pictavia comitem Valentin. et Diens. fratrem dicti venditoris” and “dominum Raymundum de Rochafolio comptorem Nanten. tutorem dicti Randoneti”, by charter dated 3 Nov 1347[1637]. “Domino Guillelmo comite Bellifortis vicecomiteque Motæ” granted “comitatum...Bellifortis” to “Rogerio eius filio emancipato”, and if he died childless to “dominos Guillelmum vicecomitem Turenæ et Marquesium filios dicti domini comitis donatoris”, and providing for “domino Hugone Tutellensi et P. Bellifortis cardinalibus...Nicolaum de Belloforti filium dicti domini comitis”, by charter dated 26 Mar 1360[1638].

A manuscript genealogy of the Beaufort family (date not specified) names “Guillelmum comitem Bellifortis, Petrum cardinalem postea Papam Clementem VI, Hugonem cardinalem, Ioannem” as the four sons of “Guillelmus Rogerii dominus de Roserio et de Chambonio, ratione Mariæ de Chambonio uxoris suæ”[1639]. Archbishop of Auch 1361. Archbishop of Narbonne 1365.

Archbishop of Rouen 1342. The testament of “Guillelmus comes Bellifortis”, dated 27 Aug 1379, confirmed “indumenta sacerdotalia” to “ecclesia de Roserio Lemovicensis diœcesis” as granted by “sanctæ memoriæ Papam Clementem VI” and to “ecclesia sancti Panthaleonis dictæ diœcesis” as granted by “dominum Nicolaum bonæ memoriæ patruum meum Rhothomagensem archiepiscopum quondam”[1643].

GUILLAUME [II] Rogier, son of GUILLAUME [I] Rogier Seigneur de Rosier & his wife Marie de Chambon (-after 27 Aug 1379). A manuscript genealogy of the Beaufort family (date not specified) names “Guillelmum comitem Bellifortis, Petrum cardinalem postea Papam Clementem VI, Hugonem cardinalem, Ioannem” as the four sons of “Guillelmus Rogerii dominus de Roserio et de Chambonio, ratione Mariæ de Chambonio uxoris suæ”[1645]. Jean Duke of Normandy [the future Jean II King of France] granted “[le] chastel et chastellenie de Beaufort en Valée en nostre comtée d’Anjou” to “mons. Guillaume Rogier chevalier seigneur de Chambon, frere germain de nostre dit saint pere”, in recognition of “la reverence honneur et amour de nostre tres sainct pere le Pape Clement VI”, by charter dated 7 Jun 1344[1646]. Comte de Beaufort [Beaufort-en-Vallée, Anjou] Apr 1346[1647]. “Domino Guillelmo comite Bellifortis vicecomiteque Motæ” granted “comitatum...Bellifortis” to “Rogerio eius filio emancipato”, and if he died childless to “dominos Guillelmum vicecomitem Turenæ et Marquesium filios dicti domini comitis donatoris”, and providing for “domino Hugone Tutellensi et P. Bellifortis cardinalibus...Nicolaum de Belloforti filium dicti domini comitis”, by charter dated 26 Mar 1360[1648]. The testament of “Guillelmus comes Bellifortis”, dated 27 Aug 1379, confirmed “indumenta sacerdotalia” to “ecclesia de Roserio Lemovicensis diœcesis” as granted by “sanctæ memoriæ Papam Clementem VI” and to “ecclesia sancti Panthaleonis dictæ diœcesis” as granted by “dominum Nicolaum bonæ memoriæ patruum meum Rhothomagensem archiepiscopum quondam”, requested “filiis meis...Guillelmo vicecomiti, N. Hermensi domino, Rotgerio de Belloforti militi et Marquesio vicecomiti Mothæ” to complete various foundations, appointed “filius meus primogenitus Guillelmus de Belloforti miles” as “specialem gubernationem...personarum Raymundi de Belloforti filii mei et fratris sui ac...consortis meæ Katherinæ eius matris”, confirmed the division of territories decided by “sanctæ memoriæ dominum nostrum Clementem Papam VI” and provided for “Rotgerius et Marquesius [...de Belloforti...militis Canilhacii domini et vicecomitis Motæ, including property left by “Garinæ de Canilhaco matri dicti Marquesii”] mei filii...Guillelmus filius meus prædictus nunc vicecomes Turenæ...aliorum filiorum meorum quorum duo...Nicolaus et Raymundus”, naming “dominum Hugonem cardinalem Tutellensem bonæ memoriæ germanum meum patruumque dicti filii”, referred to dowry of “consorti meæ Katerinæ” which had been agreed with “dominum Hugonem Ademarii Montilii et Gardæ dominum germanum suum”, and named “filias meas...Helipdem de Belloforti Valentin. et Dien. comitissam et Margaritam de Belloforti dominam de Turre”[1649].

[m firstly ([1320/30]) ---. The wide range of estimated birth dates of Guillaume [II]’s children suggests that the manuscript genealogy, quoted below, which records two wives of Guillaume [II] may be inaccurate and that his older children were born from an earlier otherwise unrecorded first marriage. The absence of the name Guérine among the known descendants of his older children also suggests that they were not descended from Guérine de Canillac. Given the likely birth date of Guillaume’s oldest son, this first marriage would have taken place before the family’s ascendance to prominence in the early 1340s. It is probable therefore that Guillaume’s [first] wife belonged to a relatively obscure local noble family in Limousin. Various secondary sources name “Marie de Chambon” as the first wife of Guillaume [II]. As noted above, the unreliable manuscript genealogy of the Beaufort family names her as the wife of Guillaume [I]. No primary source has been identified which sheds light on this discrepancy.]

m [secondly] GUERINE de Canilhac, daughter of MARQUES Seigneur de Canilhac & his third wife Alixende de Poitiers (-before 1356). A manuscript genealogy of the Beaufort family (date not specified) records that “Guillelmus Rogier alias de Belfort” married firstly “Guerinam de Canilliaco”[1650]. As noted above, the chronology of her husband’s family suggests that Guérine was her husband’s second wife. The testament of “Guillelmus comes Bellifortis”, dated 27 Aug 1379, provided for “Rotgerius et Marquesius [...de Belloforti...militis Canilhacii domini et vicecomitis Motæ, including property left by “Garinæ de Canilhaco matri dicti Marquesii”] mei filii...”[1651]. The primary source which confirms Guérine’s precise parentage has not been identified, but the following document names her husband as co-defendant in a succession dispute involving Canilhac: a 14 Aug 1508 judgment concerning the Sévérac succession records that “Guido filius Deodati” married “Dalphinam de Canillat filiam quondam...Marchionis de Canillat” who was pregnant when her husband died and gave birth to “postumum...Guidone”, adding in a later passage that after her death “procuratoris dicti Guidonis postumis” initiated legal action against “Raymondum de Canillat cardinalem sancte crucis...fratrem dicti Marchionis de Canillat [vitafuncti]...terre et baronie de Canillat...[administrator] et Guillem comitem de Belloforti [---] patrem et...administratorem indem eius filius pro Marchione de Canillat [segrientis] et quosdam alios”[1652]. The chronology, and the inheritance of Canilhac by her descendants, suggests that she was the daughter of Marquis. This would also explain the introduction of the name “Marquis”, given to Guérine’s son, into the Rogier de Beaufort family.

m [thirdly] (before [1356/57]) CATHERINE de Monteil et de la Garde, daughter of ---. A manuscript genealogy of the Beaufort family (date not specified) records that “Guillelmus Rogier alias de Belfort” married secondly “Katherinam de la Garda”[1653]. The testament of “Guillelmus comes Bellifortis”, dated 27 Aug 1379, appointed “filius meus primogenitus Guillelmus de Belloforti miles” as “specialem gubernationem...personarum Raymundi de Belloforti filii mei et fratris sui ac...consortis meæ Katherinæ eius matris”, and referred to the dowry of “consorti meæ Katerinæ” which had been agreed with “dominum Hugonem Ademarii Montilii et Gardæ dominum germanum suum”[1654]. Further information about her family connections is provided by the testament of [her son] “Raymundus de Belloforti...comes de Belloforti et vicecomes Valernæ”, dated 23 May 1420, which bequeathed property to “domino Guillelmo de Medulione militis, nobilibus Gaucherio Ademarii, Claudio domino de Spina et Raymundo eius fratri consanguineis meis”[1655].

Guillaume [II] & his [first/second] wife had eight children:

1. GUILLAUME [III] Rogier de Beaufort ([1320/30]-28 Mar 1394). A manuscript genealogy of the Beaufort family (date not specified) records that “Guillelmus Rogier alias de Belfort” and his first wife “Guerinam de Canilliaco” had four sons “Guillelmum comitem Bellifortis et vicecomitem Turenæ, Petrum Papam Gregorium XI Rogerium, et Nicolaum et Marquesiam”[1656]. Vicomte de Turenne. His sister-in-law Cécile de Comminges sold the viscounty of Turenne to him in 1350 for 145,000 gold florins[1657]: “Dominus Iohannes comes Insulæ...filius et heres quondam domini Bernardi comitis Insulæ” certified that “Guillelmus Rogerii de Belloforti filius emancipatus...domini Guillermi Rogerii comitis Bellifortis et vicecomitis Motæ” agreed to buy “vicecomitatum Turenæ” from “domina Cecilia de Convenis comitissa Urgelli et vicecomitissa Ageris et Turenæ heredeque...domini Bernardi bonæ memoriæ comitis Convenarum et vicecomitis Turenæ patris sui defuncti”, naming her sisters Jeanne and Eléonore, by charter dated 25 Feb 1350 (O.S.?)[1658]. “Domino Guillelmo comite Bellifortis vicecomiteque Motæ” granted “comitatum...Bellifortis” to “Rogerio eius filio emancipato”, and if he died childless to “dominos Guillelmum vicecomitem Turenæ et Marquesium filios dicti domini comitis donatoris”, and providing for “domino Hugone Tutellensi et P. Bellifortis cardinalibus...Nicolaum de Belloforti filium dicti domini comitis”, by charter dated 26 Mar 1360[1659]. m (17 Nov 1349) ELEONORE de Comminges, daughter of BERNARD [VIII] Comte de Comminges & his third wife Mathe de l'Isle-Jourdain (-1397). The testament of “Bernhardus...comes Convenarum, vicecomeque Turenæ”, dated 26 Mar 1335, provided dowries for “dominæ Iohannæ filiæ suæ...dominæ Hellionordi filiæ suæ”[1660]. The testament of “domina Matha de Insula comitissa Convenarum”, dated 1352, bequeathed property to “...dominæ Alienordi de Convenis vicecomitissæ Turenæ filiæ suæ...filiabus Ioannæ et Alienordi et cæteris liberis ipsius dominæ Alienordis vicecomitissæ predictæ...”[1661]. Guillaume [III] & his wife had five children:

a) RAYMOND de Beaufort (-after 21 Aug 1404). A manuscript genealogy of the Beaufort family (date not specified) names “Raymundum vicecomitem Turenæ” as the only son of “Guillelmus comes Bellifortis et vicecomes Turenæ, uxorem...Alienordim de Convenis”[1662]. Vicomte de Turenne. Comte de Beaufort. The testament of “dominus Raimundus comes Bellifortis, vicecomes Turenensis”, dated 5 Jul 1399, appointed a representative to defend the interests of “Anthoneta...filha deldit moss. le Comte et...moss. le Maygre dit Bocicaut son marit” who renounced rights to property other than her dowry, referred to provision made for “la Comtessa de Valentusses, la Dama de la Rocha, la Dama de la Torn, la Dama de Donsena...la Dama de Chauvigni...et Comtessa de Velin...la Dama de Belmon...la Dama de Valentines ques huy...la Margarida qui fo molier de Vesconte de Paulinac”, and appointed “sa...sors Dama Helionor de Belfort” as his universal heir[1663]. This testamentary disposition in favour of his cousins Armand and Pierre de Beaufort-Canillac was later challenged by his niece Alix de Baux, who also claimed to succeed as vicomtesse de Turenne. “Ramon comte de Belfort et d’Alest, vescomte de Torena et de Valerna” issued a charter dated 21 Aug 1404 for “Giral Delmas de Comertz”[1664]. m (contract Avignon 30 Oct 1375) MARIE d’Auvergne, daughter of JEAN [I] Comte d’Auvergne et de Boulogne & his wife Jeanne de Clermont (-2 May 1388). The marriage contract between "Raymundum filium...Guillelmi vicecomitis de Torena" and "Mariam de Bolonia filiam...Johannis comitis Boloniæ et Arverniæ" is dated Dec 1375[1665]. The testament of "Jehanne de Clermont contesse de Bouloigne et d’Auvergne", dated 23 Nov 1379, named her husband and “Marie nostre fille...vicontesse de Tourenne”[1666]. Dame de Saint-Just-en-Champagne et de Granges-en-Auvergne. Raymond & his wife had one child:

i) ANTOINETTE de Beaufort (-before 5 Jul 1417). The marriage contract of “Raymond viconte de Turene...damoiselle Anthoinete de Turne sa fille” and “messire Iean le Mengre dict Bouciquaut mareschal de France”, dated 23 Dec 1393, records that “messire Odes de Villars et sa fame” had pledged their rights in “la baronie des Baux...” to “messire Raymond” who gave them to his daughter along with other specified rights[1667]. Comtesse de Beaufort, Vicomtesse de Turenne. The testament of “Antoinete de Turene comtesse de Beaufort et d’Alest vicomtesse de Turene femme de...messire Iean le Meingre dit Bocicaut mareschal de France”, dated 10 Apr 1413, ordered masses at the burial sites of “ma sœur Constance de Saluces jadis femme de messire Boucicaut, frere de mondit seigneur et espoux” and of “ma sœur des Barres”[1668]. Charles VI King of France confirmed that “nostre...cousine Heleonor de Beaufort dame de Beaujeu, comtesse de Beaufort et d’Alest, vicomtesse de Turenne” swore allegiance after the death of “feu Anthoinete de Turene en son vivant mareschale de France, comtesse et vicomtesse desdits comté et vicomté et niece de la suppliante” by charter dated 5 Jul 1417[1669]. m (contract 23 Dec 1393) JEAN [II] le Meingre dit Boucicaut Maréchal de France, son of JEAN [I] le Meingre dit Boucicaut Maréchal de France & his wife Florie de Linières (28 Aug 1366-21 Jun 1421).

B. COMTES de VENTADOUR

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.

ROBERT de Ventadour, son of BERNARD Vicomte de Ventadour & his wife Marguerite de Beaumont (-before 1407). Comte de Ventadour.

m (1393) ISABELLE de Vendat, daughter of OUDIN Seigneur de Vendat & his wife Alix du Breuil de Courcelles (-after 1407). Courcelles records her parentage and marriage, noting that she was a widow in 1407[1962].

Robert & his wife had children:

1. JACQUES de Ventadour (-killed in battle Verneuil 17 Aug 1424). Comte de Ventadour. The Geste des Nobles names “...le conte de Ventadour...” among those killed in battle “devant Verneuil” 17 Aug 1424[1963].

2. CHARLES de Ventadour (-1486). Comte de Ventadour. m ---. The primary source which confirms Charles’s marriage has not been identified. Charles & his wife had children:

a) LOUIS de Ventadour (-23 Dec 1500). Comte de Ventadour. The parliamentary register dated 14 Jul 1455 records that “messire Louis de Beaufort chevalier seigneur de Canilhac” claimed “la vicomté de Turene” and other properties which belonged to “feue Antoinete de Beaufort” from “messire Anne de la Tour chevalier seigneur d’Oliergues, dame Annete de Beaufort sa femme, messire Louis de Ventadour chevalier et Katherine de Beaufort sa femme”[1964]. m (contract 23 Sep 1445) CATHERINE de Beaufort, daughter of PIERRE de Beaufort Vicomte de Turenne, Comte de Beaufort & his wife Blanche de Gimel (-1506). The testament of “dominus Petrus comes de Belloforti vicecomes Turenæ, dominus de Limolio”, dated 9 Jul 1444, bequeathed “castrum...sancti Sereni” to “filiæ suæ Catherinæ” and all his other property to “filiam suam Annetam”, naming as substitute “Annetus de la Tor nepos suus”[1965]. The marriage contract between “Carolo de Ventadoro milite comite comitatus Ventadorensis pro se et pro...Ludovico de Ventadoro filio suo primo nato” and “domicella Blancha de Gimello relicta quondam...Petri comitis Bellifortis vicecomitis Turenæ tutrice...Catherinæ de Belloforti filiæ suæ et ipsius quondam domini vicecomitis Turenæ, olim coniugum” is dated 23 Sep 1445[1966].

C. SEIGNEURS de DONZENAC

Donzenac is situated on the northern outskirts of Brive-la-Gaillarde, about 15 kilometres west of Tulle and about 30 kilometres south-west of the vicomté de Ventadour, in the present-day French département of Corrèze, arrondissement Brive-la-Gaillarde, canton Donzenac. As noted below, secondary sources indicate that the seigneurie de Donzenac passed by marriage from the Malemort family to a younger branch of the Ventadour family. It appears that rights in Donzenac were shared in the mid-13th century between the Mortemart and Durfort families, as Père Anselme says that Guillemette de Durfort, wife of Jourdain [V] Seigneur de l’Isle-Jourdain (see the documents GASCONY-BORDEAUX, NORTH-EASTERN GASCONY and GASCONY-CENTRAL GASCONY), shared “Donzenac” with “Ratier de Durfort son oncle”[1968]. The origin of this arrangement has not been traced.

The following reconstruction of the Ventadour/Donzenac family is based mainly on the 18th century manuscript (unconfirmed provenance) published by Champeval in the late 19th century, supplemented by Courcelles’s reconstruction. The primary sources which confirm the information have not been identified, unless otherwise shown below. Until more primary source material emerges, the information should be viewed with some caution.

EBLES de Ventadour, son of EBLES [VII] Vicomte de Ventadour & his wife [Blanche de Châteauneuf] (-after 14 Jul 1318). The 18th century manuscript (unconfirmed provenance) published by Champeval names Ebles as second son of Ebles [VII] Vicomte de Ventadour, noted that he swore allegiance to the bishop of Limoges in 1297 for the property he and his wife held in Malemort and Donzenac, and that he swore allegiance again in 1310 (no sources cited)[1969]. Courcelles adds that Ebles “était veuf en 1310” and that Ebles “son aïeul” and Géraud his son “son oncle” were named in the 14 Jul 1318 marriage contract of Ebles’s daughter Blanche (see below), without citing any of the corresponding sources either[1970]. Seigneur de Donzenac.

m GALIENE de Malemort, son of GERARD de Malemort Seigneur de Donzenac & his wife --- (-before 1310). The 18th century manuscript (unconfirmed provenance) published by Champeval records that Ebles, second son of Ebles [VII] Vicomte de Ventadour, married Galiène de Malemort “fille et héritière de Gerard de Malemort seigneur de Donzenac” (no source cited)[1971]. Courcelles reproduces the same information but cites no sources either[1972]. The Malemort connection appears confirmed by the Aug 1337 charter quoted below.

Ebles & his wife had [five] children:

1. EBLES de Ventadour . Courcelles records Ebles and his son Ebles selling “le domaine de la Gaulière, près d’Uzerche” to the bishop of Limoges, undated, and suggests that Ebles junior died childless[1973].

2. GERAUD [I] de Ventadour (-after Aug 1337). Seigneur de Donzenac. Co-seigneur de Malemort: “Giraldus de Venthedoro miles dominus de Donzenaco condominusque de Malamorte et Matha de Insula tutrix...Iohannis...comitis Convenarum et vicecomitis de Turenæ, condominusque de Malamorte et de Briva et Geraldus de Malamorte dominus de S. Hilario condominusque de Malamorte et Geraldus de Malamorte junior dominus de Vergino condominus de Malamorte et Guido de Sancto Michaele miles condominus de Malamorte” reached agreement with the priory of Brives regarding certain property by charter dated Aug 1337[1974]. m SOUVERAINE de Castelnau, daughter of ---. Courcelles says that a charter “faisant partie du trésor des chartes” names her “Souveraine” (no citation)[1975]. An indulgence of Pope Clement VI dated 23 Jan 1344 (O.S.?) names “Sobirane de Castronovo uxori…Geraldi de Ventadoro domini de Donzenaco”[1976]. Europäische Stammtafeln indicates that she was a member of the Castelnau-Bretenoux family[1977]. Géraud [I] & his wife had three children:

a) GERAUD [II] de Ventadour (-after 1362). Seigneur de Donzenac. In addition to the two daughters named below, Courcelles names “Géraud de Ventadour II Seigneur de Donzenac et de Boussac” as son of Géraud [I][1978]. The 18th century manuscript (unconfirmed provenance) published by Champeval ignores the existence of Géraud [II], but records that Géraud swore homage to the bishop of Limoges by charter dated 1362 (no sources cited)[1979]. If that date is correct, the document would more likely refer to Géraud [II]. m firstly MARGUERITE de Beaufort, daughter of GUILLAUME [II] Rogier Comte de Beaufort & his [first wife ---]. A manuscript genealogy of the Beaufort family (date not specified) records that “Guillelmus Rogier alias de Belfort” and his first wife “Guerinam de Canilliaco” had three daughters “...Margaritam dominam de Donzenaco...”[1980]. The 18th century manuscript (unconfirmed provenance) published by Champeval assumes that the husband of Marguerite was Géraud [I] and comments (correctly) that such a marriage would be chronologically improbable considering the marriage dates of his daughters[1981]. The manuscript ignores the existence of Géraud [II], whose chronology would appear to fit this marriage. m secondly ISABELLE de Terride, daughter of BERTRAND de Terride & his wife Rambaude d’Arpajon. Courcelles records her parentage and marriage[1982]. Géraud [II] & his first wife had one child:

i) CATHERINE de Ventadour . Courcelles records her parentage and marriage[1983]. Dame de Donzenac et de Boussac. m ([1368]) ODET de Lomagne Seigneur de Firmaçon, son of JEAN de Lomagne Seigneur de Firmaçon & his wife Géraude de Montlezun-Pardiac.

Géraud [II] & his second wife had one child:

ii) AGNES de Ventadour . Courcelles records her parentage and marriage[1984]. m JEAN Seigneur de Murol [en Auvergne, neveu du cardinal de Murol], son of ---.

b) JEANNE de Ventadour . The 18th century manuscript (unconfirmed provenance) published by Champeval records her parentage and marriage (no sources cited)[1985]. m (1332) RAYNAUD d’Aubusson Seigneur de la Borne, son of ---.

c) GALIENE de Ventadour . The 18th century manuscript (unconfirmed provenance) published by Champeval records her parentage and marriage (no sources cited)[1986]. m (1338) HELIE de Chanac, son of GUY Seigneur de Chanac & his wife ---.

3. [HELIE de Ventadour (-30 May 1383). Courcelles records his parentage, notes that he was bishop of Padua 1371, bishop of Castres 1375, and that he died 30 May 1383[1987]. These dates seem late for Hélie to have been the son of Ebles de Ventadour.]

4. GUILLAUME de Ventadour (-[1339/40]). Courcelles records his parentage, prieur de Chalais, doyen de Rieupeyroux en Rouergue, abbé de Limoges Saint-Martial 1339, and deceased in 1340[1988].

5. BLANCHE de Ventadour (-after 1334). The 18th century manuscript (unconfirmed provenance) published by Champeval records that Bernard de Comborn married “Blanche de Ventadour fille d’Ebles de Ventadour seigneur de Donzenac” [no source citation][1989]. A charter dated 30 Dec 1320 establishes the dower of “Blanche veufve de feu Bernard visconte de Combort” and records an agreement between “Archambaud, Bernard, Guy aultrement Guischard, Eustaiche, Jne, Souveraine, enfans dud. viconte”[1990]. m BERNARD [III] Vicomte de Comborn, son of ARCHAMBAUD [VII] Vicomte de Comborn & his second wife Marguerite de Pons (-[15 May/30 Dec] 1320).
