The pagus Divionensis was one of the ten pagi which were situated within the diocese of Langres, centred on Dijon where the bishop lived[1].  The county of Dijon is recorded from the late 9th to early 11th century.  The town of Dijon became the capital of the duchy of the Burgundy, into which the county was subsumed.

A.      COMTES de DIJON

 

 

1.         HUGUES (-after [881/82]).  "Hugo" donated property "infra castrum Divionis" to Saint-Bénigne-de-Dijon by charter dated [11 Apr 881/10 Apr 882] subscribed by "Hugonis et Jotselini et Aremberti filiorum ipsius"[2]m ---.  The name of Hugues's wife is not known.  Hugues & his wife had three children: 

a)         HUGUES .  "Hugo" donated property "infra castrum Divionis" to Saint-Bénigne-de-Dijon by charter dated [11 Apr 881/10 Apr 882] subscribed by "Hugonis et Jotselini et Aremberti filiorum ipsius"[3]

b)         JOCERAN .  "Hugo" donated property "infra castrum Divionis" to Saint-Bénigne-de-Dijon by charter dated [11 Apr 881/10 Apr 882] subscribed by "Hugonis et Jotselini et Aremberti filiorum ipsius"[4]

c)         AREMBERT .  "Hugo" donated property "infra castrum Divionis" to Saint-Bénigne-de-Dijon by charter dated [11 Apr 881/10 Apr 882] subscribed by "Hugonis et Jotselini et Aremberti filiorum ipsius"[5]

 

 

The county of the following person has not been identified.  The reference to an earlier donation by “Hugo” suggests that he may have been related to Hugues who is named above. 

 

1.         GAUCELM (-after Apr 906).  Comte [de ---].  Gotselmus comes” relinquished his claim to “capella in Rufiaco villa”, earlier donated by “Hugo” [Hugues, died after [881/82], named above?]  to the canons of Langres, for the soul of “eiusdem Hugonis”, with the consent of “filii sui Vualdricus et Hugo”, by charter dated Apr 906[6]m ---.  The name of his wife has not been identified.  Gaucelm & his wife had two children:

a)         GAUDRYGotselmus comes” relinquished his claim to “capella in Rufiaco villa”, earlier donated by “Hugo” to the canons of Langres, for the soul of “eiusdem Hugonis”, with the consent of “filii sui Vualdricus et Hugo”, by charter dated Apr 906[7]

b)         HUGUES .  “Gotselmus comes” relinquished his claim to “capella in Rufiaco villa”, earlier donated by “Hugo” to the canons of Langres, for the soul of “eiusdem Hugonis”, with the consent of “filii sui Vualdricus et Hugo”, by charter dated Apr 906[8]

 

 

The reconstruction of the second comital family of Dijon, as shown in the following paragraphs, is uncertain.  As will be seen, Chaume’s suggestions appear somewhat confused and should be treated with some caution. 

 

It is unclear whether Raoul [I] ruled as count at Dijon.  Chaume identifies him as such[9].  However, Settipani says that “En réalité, l’incertitude la plus complète règne sur le comté gouverné par Raoul de 893”, although he indicates that the presence of the comte de Dijon at the [893] donation cited below would not be surprising[10]

 

1.         RAOUL [I] (-after 893).  Comte [de ---].  The Chronicle of Saint-Bénigne de Dijon records “...Girbaldus, Wido ac Radulfus comes, Madelgaudus Oscarensium vicecomes...” as present when “Richardus dux Burgundie” donated property “...in proximo pago Belnense, et in villa Givriaco” to Saint-Bénigne, dated to [893][11]

 

 

It is unclear how Adémar was related to Raoul [I], if at all.  It should be borne in mind that, at that time, comital appointments under the Carolingians were not necessarily hereditary, with the king/emperor changing appointments at whim.  Nevertheless, Settipani highlights that, even in the 9th century “avant l´hérédité formelle des charges”, the king “prenait garde en général” to appoint to a county a person with local connections “afin d’éliminer au maximum les risques de contestations et d’augmenter l’assise politique de son protégé[12].  The later references to other members of the Dijon family named Raoul do suggest a connection with Raoul [I] (assuming that he was comte de Dijon).  Chaume suggests that Raoul [I] may have been Adémar’s brother, father of Eliran (see below)[13].  Another possibility is that the relationship was through Adémar’s wife Lampais (her presence in the May 901 charter quoted below suggests that she had a direct interest in the properties donated): maybe she was Raoul [I]’s heiress (daughter/niece?), although this would complicate the suggested relationships between Adémar and the other subscribers of the May 901 which are shown below.  Chaume suggests Adémar as the son of Eudes/Odo Comte de Châteaudun and his wife Wandalmodis [see the document CAROLINGIAN NOBILITY]: he highlights the Chronicle of Saint-Bénigne de Dijon recording Adémar’s properties “tam in Divionensi pago quam in...pago Turonensi, Aurelianensi, Senonico, Autisiorensi, Tarnodorensi” (see  below) and observes that Comte Eudes/Odo held both Touraine and Orléannais at the time[14].  He also highlights the similarity between the names “Eliran” and “Aleran”, the latter borne by Aleran/Adelramn [I] Comte de Troyes (died 852, see CAROLINGIAN NOBILITY), and suggests a possible connection with the comtes de Dijon[15]

 

[Three] siblings, parents not known:

1.         ADEMAR (-after May 901).  Comte [de Dijon].  The Chronicle of Saint-Bénigne de Dijon records that, at the time “Carolus rex” requested “Richardo Duce, et Manasse Comite” to donate property, “Ademarus quidam illustris vir ex Senatoribus”, who had many properties “tam in Divionensi pago quam in...pago Turonensi, Aurelianensi, Senonico, Autisiorensi, Tarnodorensi”, and “coniux eius, Lampaia” donated property “...in villa Ruffiaco...” to Saint-Bénigne[16].  The corresponding charter is as follows, although it is marked “Acte suspect” in the compilation: “Ademarus [the heading names him “le comte Aimar (Ademarus)”: the title is not in the text], et conjux mea Lampaia” donated “capellam...cum reliquiis sanctorum...mansumque [...in confinio pagorum et comitatuum Divionensis et Oscarensis atque Atoariorum...in villa Rufiaco [Ruffey]]...et vinea...ecclesia...sancti Gregorii...in Escoriaco...villa” to Saint-Bénigne by charter dated May 901, signed at “Divione castello” by “Ademari et uxoris eius Lampagie, Eliranni nepotis Ademari qui consensit, Rotberti fratris eius”, witnessed by “Gisleberti vicecomitis...[17].  A document concerning the transfer of the relics of Saint-Médard from Soissons to Dijon (dated to 901) records the participation of “Ysmarus Divisionensis territorii Comes...cum uxore sua Lampadia[18].  Chaume provides a French translation of part of this document and other commentary about the transfer of these relics[19]m LAMPAÏS [Lampagia], daughter of --- (-[937/38] or after).  She is named in her husband’s May 901 charter quoted above.  “Lampagia” donated “res...ex jure maritali habeo atque possideo...sita in comitatu Tornetrense et in fine Stolviacense...mansa...prope Stolvico [Etourvy] in curte...Sairo” to Dijon Saint-Bénigne by charter dated to [937/38] (“anno secundo post obitum Rodulfi regis Francorum”)[20].  The title in the compilation names the donor “la comtesse Lampaïs [Lampagia] veuve du comte Aimar [Ademarus]”.  Neither her title nor her husband’s name appears in the document, although her own unusual name suggests that she was the same person who was named in Adémar’s May 901 charter.  The absence in the [937/38] children consenting to the donation suggests that the couple died childless.  A daughter of Eudes Duke of Aquitaine (who died [735]) is recorded with the similar name “Lampagie” (see the document AQUITAINE DUKES), but any family connection has not been ascertained. 

2.         [--- (-[before May 901]).  Assuming that “nephew” is the correct interpretation of “nepotis” in the May 901 charter cited below, one of Eliran’s parents was Adémar’s sibling.  The document specifies that Eliran consented to the donation, indicating that he had a direct interest in the property donated.  This suggests that his parent, the relative of Adémar, was deceased at the time.  Chaume suggests Raoul [I] (see above) may have been Adémar’s brother and Eliran’s father[21], which is not impossible.  m ---.  [One child]:

a)         [ELIRAN [Aleran?] .  “Ademari et uxoris eius Lampagie, Eliranni nepotis Ademari qui consensit, Rotberti fratris eius” subscribed the May 901 charter quoted above under Adémar.  It is assumed that “nepotis” in that document meant nephew not grandson: as Adémar’s widow was still living in [937/38] (see above), the couple would presumably not have been old enough to have had grandchildren in 901.  Chaume suggests that Eliran was the father of Raoul [II] Comte de Dijon and his brother Robert who are shown in the following paragraph[22].  See above for the possible connection with the name “Aleran”.] 

3.         [ROBERT (-after May 901).  “Ademari et uxoris eius Lampagie, Eliranni nepotis Ademari qui consensit, Rotberti fratris eius”, witnessed by “Gisleberti vicecomitis...” subscribed the May 901 charter quoted above under Adémar.  The word “eius”, in relation to “Rotberti”, could presumably refer either to Adémar or to Eliran.  Chaume, after noting the difficulty of interpreting “eius”, concludes that Robert was Eliran’s brother: he suggests firstly that Robert, as Adémar’s brother, would have been named before Adémar’s nephew, and secondly that, assuming that Adémar was the son of Comte Eudes/Odo (see above), Robert son of Eudes/Odo had died in 886[23].  On the second point, Chaume’s argument seems circular.  In any case, Chaume does not highlight that the document does not specify Robert’s consent, suggesting that he had no direct interest in the property donated in contrast to Adémar and Eliran, which may be significant in interpreting the relationships.  For presentational purposes, Robert is shown here as the brother of Adémar which seems, on balance, more likely to be correct.  Chaume indicates that this Robert was the Vicomte de Dijon who married Ingeltrude (see below)[24]: from a chronological point of view that seems impossible considering that the subscriber Robert was presumably already adult in 901 (whether he was the brother of Adémar or of Eliran) and that Vicomte Robert was last named in 960.] 

 

 

The above family seems to have been displaced as Comtes de Dijon by Manassès (see further below), some time before 912 maybe after the death of Comte d’Adémar without surviving children (see above).  Dijon may have been returned to Raoul [II] after Giselbert, grandson of Manassès, succeeded as duke of Burgundy in 936.  If that is correct, it is uncertain how Hugues [I] took control of Dijon (see even further below): was Raoul [III] deprived of Dijon because of his behaviour in 958 in favour of Hugues? 

 

Two brothers, parents not identified.  Chaume suggests that they were sons of Eliran who is named above[25].  The absence of the name Eliran among later members of this family suggests that Chaume’s suggestion may not be correct.  Another possibility is that they were descended from Adémar’s supposed brother Robert. 

 

1.         RAOUL [II] (-[Jun 952/958]).  Comte de Dijon.  "Rodulfus comes" restored property "in pago Oscarense, in villa Patriniaco…et in comitatu Belnense in villa Gibriaco" to "Adalberti levite, quas mater sua ei dedit, et ipsa legitime secundum legem romanam in coniugio adquisivit, de Archemrado...seniore suo" by charter dated Jun 952, signed “Divioni castro” by "Rodulfo comiti, Roberto fratre suo…"[26].  Raoul presumably died before 958, on the assumption that the person who abducted the wife of Otton/Eudes of Burgundy was his son and not Raoul [II] himself.  m ---.  The name of Raoul’s wife is not known.  Raoul [II] & his wife had [one possible child]: 

a)         [RAOUL [III] (-after 958).  The chronology suggests that Raoul [III] was a different person from Raoul [II], who would presumably have been old in 958 to undertake the abduction of the wife of Otton/Eudes of Burgundy.  Maybe he was Raoul [II]’s son.  Raoul [III] being named “Divioni comes” in the Annales Nivernenses (see below) suggests that he was not the same person as the oldest son of Robert Vicomte de Dijon who was first cited in 942 (see below), who succeeded his father as Vicomte but is not named “comte” in other sources.  Settipani suggests another possibility, that Raoul [III] was the same person as Raoul named in 942, but that Vicomte Raoul “Albus/le Blanc” was his son[27]Comte de DijonThe Annales Nivernenses record in 958 that “Rodulfus Divioni comes” captured “Belnum [Beaune] castrum seniori sui Optonis [later Otton/Eudes Duke of Burgundy]” and what was worse abducted “uxorem suam...filiam...Gisleberti” and married her, but that the castle was recaptured “ab Optone et a suis fidelibus Kal Mai” [no further mention of the fate of his wife][28][m (bigamously early 958) LIETGARDE, wife of OTTON [de France] [later EUDES Duke of Burgundy], daughter of GISELBERT Duke of Burgundy, Comte d'Autun & his wife Ermengarde [of Burgundy] (-after 958).  See above for her abduction and purported marriage.]  The Chronicon of Odorannus records the death in 956 of “Gislebertus comes Burgundionem”, adding that “honorem eius cum filia...Leudegarde, ex qua postea a Radulpho Divionensi pipicus factus est” was granted to “Otho frater Hugonis ducis[29].  The reference is assumed to indicate her later infidelity, as recorded in the Annales Nivernenses quoted above.  Millin suggests that “pipicus”, derived from “picus” (magpie), indicates cuckold by analogy with the cuckoo and based on the mistaken understanding that the two birds had similar nesting habits[30].]  Bouchard suggests that Lietgarde, named in the following document, may have been descended from Raoul [III] and his wife, and was maybe also the same person as the wife of Hugues [III] Comte d’Atuyer (see the document BURGUNDY DUCHY-ATUYER)[31]: the Chronicle of Saint-Bénigne de Dijon records that “matrona...Letgardis...soror Lamberti Episcopi” donated “ecclesiam...in villa...Islo super Mosam fluvium, in comitatu Bassiniacensi [Is-en-Bassigny, Haute.Marne]” to Saint-Bénigne, undated (the last entry in the original chronicle)[32]Gallia Christiana identifies “Lamberti Episcopi” as the bishop of Langres who was appointed 1016 and died 13 Aug 1031[33]Settipani suggests that, if Bouchard is correct, the chronology indicates that Lietgarde would have been Raoul [III]’s granddaughter[34]

2.         ROBERT (-after 952)"Rodulfus comes" restored property "in pago Oscarense, in villa Patriniaco…et in comitatu Belnense in villa Gibriaco", to "Adalberti levite, quas mater sua ei dedit, et ipsa legitime secundum legem romanam in coniugio adquisivit, de Archemrado...seniore suo" by charter dated Jun 952, signed “Divioni castro” by "Rodulfo comiti, Roberto fratre suo…"[35]same person as…?  ROBERT (-[960], after Jun 960).  Bouchard suggests that Robert Vicomte de Dijon was the same person as Robert, brother of Raoul [II] Comte de Dijon[36].  On the other hand, Settipani suggests that Vicomte Robert may have been “le fils (ou le neveu) de Robert, frère d’Adémar [shown above as [Robert] possible brother of “Adémar Comte [de Dijon]]“[37]

-        VICOMTES de DIJON

 

 

Chaume suggests that Bishop Raoul was the son of Robert Vicomte de Dijon and his wife Ingeltrude, who was named in the [942/43] charter which is cited below[38].  However, Raoul’s appearance in the document suggests that he was his parents’ oldest son.  If that is correct, it would be unusual for him to have entered the church.  Nevertheless, the names of Bishop Raoul and of his successor Bishop Lambert (also shown below) suggest a connection with this dynasty of the comital family of Dijon.  No primary source which confirms the precise relationship, nor any relationship between the two bishops, has been found. 

 

1.         RAOUL (-after 986).  An undated document records “Haymardus, Sancti Petri Cluniacensis cœnobii abba” on his deathbed and the appointment of his successor “filium monachis Maiolum” [dated to 954], supported by “...Rodulphus humilis abba S. Petri Cavillonensis...[39]Chaume records the last name as the future bishop Raoul[40]Bishop of Chalon.  Gallia Christiana records “Radulfus seu Rodulfus” as bishop of Chalon, named in charters dated from [977] to 986[41]

 

2.         LAMBERT .  Bishop of Chalon.  Bishop of Chalon.  Gallia Christiana records “Lambertus” as bishop of Chalon, successor of Bishop Raoul named above, named in a charter dated 1017 (although this date is inconsistent with the dates associated with Lambert’s next but one successor Bishop Geoffroy, reported by Gallia Christiana in charters dated from 1015)[42]

 

 

The following family seems to have displaced the preceding family as Comtes de Dijon, some time before 912 presumably after the death of Comte d’Adémar without surviving children (see above).  Dijon may have been returned to the family of the earlier counts after Giselbert succeeded as duke of Burgundy in 936. 

 

[MANASSES [I], son of ---.  The Chronicle of St Bénigne de Dijon records an undated charter of "Manasses comes" witnessed by "Walo filius eius et Manasses comes iunior"[43].  Although undated, it appears among other charters of the early years of the 10th century.  If this is the correct dating, it is unlikely that it refers to Manassès (died after 925) as his sons would at the time have probably been too young to have confirmed charters.  In addition, if the donation did refer to Manassès (died after 925) it is unclear why Walo and Manassès would have confirmed but not their brothers Hervé and Giselbert.  The conclusion is therefore that the donation relates to the father of Manassès, who has otherwise not been identified.  This interpretation appears supported by the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines which in 906 names "comes Manasses Divionensi", specifying that "Walo et alterius Manasses comes iunior" were his sons[44], although it is recognised that this source is not always chronologically and factually reliable.  Comte de Dijon.  [A charter dated 912 names "venerabili comite domno Manasse" as present at a judgment in an ecclesiastical court at Dijon by Garnier Bishop of Langres[45].  The word "venerabili" suggests that this document may refer to Manassès [I] rather than his son Manassès [II], although this is not beyond doubt.]] 

[m ---.  The name of the wife of Manassès is not known.] 

[Manassès & his wife had four children]: 

1.         WALO (-[after 918])Bishop of Autun"Walo…Eduorum episcopus" recovered "villam Tilionacum in comitatu Oscarensi super fluvium Sagonnam" from "fratris nostri Manasse" by charter dated 918[46]The Vita Sanctii Viventii Presbyteri names "Manasses…fratrisque sui Walonis Æduorum urbis Pontificis"[47].  The Series abbatum Flaviniacensium records that "Richardus dux et Ingelbertus" installed "Vualonem, fratrem Manasserii comitis qui gener erat B fratris Richardi ducis" as abbot of Flavigny[48].  The Series abbatum Flaviniacensium records that Walo became "pontifices Eduenses" and his death in 913[49], although this date of death is inconsistent with the source cited above. 

2.         MANASSES [II] (-925 or after)Comte de Dijon.  “Manasses...comes” donated property “in pago Oscarense...magnam firmitatem...Schi---...ecclesiam...sancti Sequani” to Langres by charter dated 18 Oct 910, subscribed by “Mannonis fratris eius...Ugonis filius Gibuini comitis, Madalberti, Bernonis, Eldemodi[50].  [A charter dated 912 names "venerabili comite domno Manasse" as present at a judgment in an ecclesiastical court at Dijon by Garnier Bishop of Langres[51].  The word "venerabili" suggests that this document may refer to Manassès [I] rather than his son Manassès [II], although this is not beyond doubt.]  Ricardus comes et dux Burgondiæ”, on the advice of “Manasse ceterorumque fidelium nostrorum”, restored “de Liciaco [Lecey] villa...in pago Lingonico”, previously donated by “Amadeus comes in suo nomine et uxoris suæ, necnon et filii eius Anscharii”, to Langres by charter dated 18 May 918[52].  The Vita Sanctii Viventii Presbyteri records that "Manasses" built "monasterium in territorio Augustudunensi in loco montis Vergiaci castri" with the advice of "suæ uxoris Hermengardis fratrisque sui Walonis Æduorum urbis pontificis"[53].  The Chronicle of St Bénigne de Dijon records a donation dated 925 confirmed by "Manasse comite"[54]m ERMENGARDE, daughter of --- (-after Jun 924).  "Heriveus…Eduorum episcopus" donated property "villam Tilionacum" to the canons of St Nazaire by charter dated 31 Oct 920 which names "genitricis nostræ domnæ Hirmingardis comitissæ et fratrum nostrorum…[et] Walo presul et noster avunculus", signed by "Hirmingardis comitissa, Walonis filii eius, Gisleberti filii eius alterius, Manassæ filii eius"[55]The Vita Sanctii Viventii Presbyteri names "Manasses…suæ uxoris Hermengardis"[56]"Warulfus…virum nobilem…filio equivoco eius Warulfo" petitioned "Ermengardis comitisse…seu filii eius Gisleberti comitis" for some donated property of Saint-Marcel-lès-Chalon by charter dated Jun 924[57]A possible origin of Ermengarde is suggested by one version of the Series abbatum Flaviniacensium, as reproduced only in a 17th century secondary source, which records that "Richardus dux et Ingelbertus" installed "Vualonem, fratrem Manasserii comitis qui gener erat B fratris Richardi ducis" as abbot of Flavigny[58].  If this is correct, she was Ermengarde, daughter of Boson King of Provence & [his second wife Ermengardis of Italy].  Manassès & his wife had [five] children: 

a)         WALO (-after 924).  "Hirmingardis comitissa…Walonis filii eius, Gilleberti filii eius alterius" subscribed the testament of "Heriveus…Æduorum episcopus" dated 1 Nov 919 which names "genitricis nostræ domnæ Hirmingardis venerabilis comitissæ et fratrum nostrorum…domnus Walo pius Præsul et noster avunculus"[59].  Flodoard records that in 924 "Raginardus" captured "castellum…Mons sancti Iohannis" supported by "nepotum suorum, Walonis et Gisleberti", but that "Rodulfi rex" recaptured the castle later in the same year[60]

b)         HERVE (-after 31 Oct 920)Bishop of Autun .  The testament of "Heriveus…Æduorum episcopus" dated 1 Nov 919 names "genitricis nostræ domnæ Hirmingardis venerabilis comitissæ et fratrum nostrorum…domnus Walo pius Præsul et noster avunculus", subscribed by "Hirmingardis comitissa…Walonis filii eius, Gilleberti filii eius alterius"[61]"Heriveus…Eduorum episcopus" donated property "villam Tilionacum" to the canons of St Nazaire by charter dated 31 Oct 920 which names "genitricis nostræ domnæ Hirmingardis comitissæ et fratrum nostrorum…[et] Walo presul et noster avunculus", signed by "Hirmingardis comitissa, Walonis filii eius, Gisleberti filii eius alterius, Manassæ filii eius"[62]

c)         GISELBERT (-Paris after Easter 956).  The parentage of Giselbert is confirmed by a combination of documents.  "Hirmingardis comitissa…Walonis filii eius, Gilleberti filii eius alterius" subscribed the testament of "Heriveus…Æduorum episcopus" dated 1 Nov 919, which names "genitricis nostræ domnæ Hirmingardis venerabilis comitissæ et fratrum nostrorum…domnus Walo pius Præsul et noster avunculus"[63].  Flodoard records that in 924 "Raginardus" captured "castellum…Mons sancti Iohannis" supported by "nepotum suorum, Walonis et Gisleberti", but that "Rodulfi rex" recaptured the castle later in the same year[64].  The Vita Sanctii Viventii Presbyteri names "Manasses…filius Gislebertus eiusdem Burgundiæ Dux"[65].  Comte d’Autun: "Gislebertus…comes Heduensis" granted property to "suo fidele Guitbaldus…nec non eius coniuge Rutrudis" by charter dated 11 Dec 934, signed by "Gisleberti comitis, Ermengardi, Adaledis filiam eorum…"[66]He became GISELBERT Duke of Burgundy, after his possible brothers-in-law Raoul and Hugues "le Noir" ceded him their rights to Burgundy in [936]. 

-        DUKES of BURGUNDY

d)         MANASSES (-after 31 Oct 920).  "Hirmingardis comitissa, Walonis filii eius, Gisleberti filii eius alterius, Manassæ filii eius" subscribed the charter dated 31 Oct 920 under which "Heriveus…Eduorum episcopus" donated property "villam Tilionacum" to the canons of St Nazaire which names "genitricis nostræ domnæ Hirmingardis comitissæ et fratrum nostrorum…[et] Walo presul et noster avunculus"[67]

e)         [ERMENGARDE (-before [941]).  She is named as wife of Letaud in the latter's charter dated [12 Apr] 935, which also names both his and her parents[68].  Manassès Comte de Dijon & his wife Ermengarde are the only contemporary noble couple with these names which has so far been identified in the region, but it is not certain that they were the parents of Ermengarde wife of Letaud.  m (before [12 Apr] 935) as his first wife, LETAUD Comte de Mâcon, son of AUBRY [I] Comte de Mâcon & his wife Tolana de Mâcon (915-3 Nov 961).] 

3.         RAINARD (-after 924).  "Ragenardus Autissiod Vicecomes frater Manassis" obtained approval of Charles III "le Simple" King of the West Franks for the election of Gerannus as Bishop of Auxerre in 909[69].  Flodoard records that in 924 "Raginardus" captured "castellum…Mons sancti Iohannis" supported by "nepotum suorum, Walonis et Gisleberti", but that "Rodulfi rex" recaptured the castle later in the same year[70].  

4.         MANNON (-after 18 Oct 910).  “Manasses...comes” donated property “in pago Oscarense...magnam firmitatem...Schi---...ecclesiam...sancti Sequani” to Langres by charter dated 18 Oct 910, subscribed by “Mannonis fratris eius...Ugonis filius Gibuini comitis, Madalberti, Bernonis, Eldemodi[71]

 

 

The county of Gebuin [I], named below, has not been identified.  His inclusion in the document cited below suggests that he may have been related to Manassès [II] (see above). 

 

1.         GEBUIN [I] (-[after 18 Oct 910?]).  Comte [de ---].  His mention in the 18 Oct 910 charter cited below as father of Hugues suggests that he was still alive or was recently deceased at that date.  The Chronicle of St Pierre de Bèze records a donation by "Gibuinus et neptis mea Eraungardis" which names "Gibuini proavi mei et filii eius Hugonis…"[72], presumably referring to Gebuin and his son Hugues named 18 Oct 910.  m ---.  The name of his wife has not been identified.  Gebuin & his wife had one child: 

a)         HUGUES (after 18 Oct 910).  Manasses...comes” donated property “in pago Oscarense...magnam firmitatem...Schi---...ecclesiam...sancti Sequani” to Langres by charter dated 18 Oct 910, subscribed by “Mannonis fratris eius...Ugonis filius Gibuini comitis, Madalberti, Bernonis, Eldemodi[73]The Chronicle of St Pierre de Bèze records a donation by "Gibuinus et neptis mea Eraungardis" which names "Gibuini proavi mei et filii eius Hugonis…"[74], presumably referring to Gebuin and his son Hugues named 18 Oct 910. 

 

 

A reference to the following Gebuin is included here because of the possible link, suggested by his name, with the family of Gebuin [I] who is named above.  Maybe the mother of the following Gebuin was related to this family. 

GEBUIN, [illegitimate] son of RICHARD "le Justicier" Duke of Burgundy & [his mistress ---] (-after Mar 951).  A charter dated 18 Jan 926 records that “femina Bertagia” claimed “res...sitas in pago Equestrico, et in curte Avenaco, de res que de parte jugale suo...Alteo...et filio suo...Alteo” from “Leutardus”, that Rodolphe III King of Burgundy ordered “Turumbertum comitem et Anselmum comitem de pago Equestrico, atque Ugonem comte palatio” to enquire into the matter, that “Leutardus et Teodoricus vel ipsa femina” attended a hearing at which “ipsa...femina” claimed that "Ugo comes filius Ricardi et germanus suus Giboinus" had granted the property to her husband, calling named witnesses[75].  It is likely that he was illegitimate as he is mentioned in none of the sources which list the other brothers of Hugues. 

 

 

Gebuin [II] was presumably related to Gebuin [I] but the primary source which confirms the precise relationship has not been identified. 

 

1.         GEBUIN [II] (-after Mar 951).  "Gibuin" witnessed a charter of Aquinas dated May 948, and a charter of Doda (wife of Aquinas) dated Mar 951[76]

 

 

The Chronicle of St Pierre de Bèze, cited below, confirms that Hugues [I] was descended from Gebuin [I], who was named “proavus” of the donor.  The number of intermediate generations is in doubt, not only because of the uncertain chronology but also the term “proavus” which meant great-grandfather in classical Latin but could be used to indicate “ancestor” in general in medieval documents.  It is therefore not certain that Hugues [I] was the same person as the son of Gebuin [I] who is named above.  The circumstances in which Hugues [I] was granted the county of Dijon have not been ascertained.  Maybe if he received the county after Raoul [III] disgraced himself in 958 (see above).  If that is correct, the date of Hugues’s death shown below is incorrect.    

 

1.         HUGUES [I] (-[954/58?]).  The Chronicle of St Pierre de Bèze records a donation by "Gibuinus et neptis mea Eraungardis" made "pro remedio animæ fratris mei Hugonis" which also names "Gibuini proavi mei et filii eius Hugonis…et Hugonis patris mei" and "fratres mei Hugo et Wido" and "sponso eius [nepti] Fulcone"[77], undated but placed in the compilation several pages after the record of another donation dated 1043.  Comte d’Atuyer: Leuttaldus” donated “ecclesias...in villa...Gradiacus in honore Sancti Mauricii...alia in rure...Pontiliacus”, for the souls of “senioris mei Hugoni...Archicomitis...genitoris mei Alberici ac genetricis meæ Attalæ”, to the church of Besançon, with the consent of “Umberti fratris illius”, by charter dated 951, subscribed by “Widonis, Windilsmodi, Ugonis comitis Atoariorum...Alberici vicecomitis...[78]Comte de Dijon.  "Hugo comes Divionensis" requested to be buried at Saint-Bénigne de Dijon, and after his death "Adalburgis comitissa uxor eius" donated property by charter dated to [966/989][79].  See below under his wife for the possible dating of this donation.  m ADALBURGIS, daughter of ---.  "Hugo comes Divionensis" requested to be buried at Saint-Bénigne de Dijon, and after his death "Adalburgis comitissa uxor eius" donated property with the consent of "filiorum ipsius Gibuini…Catalaunensis episcopi et Richardi qui post eum hunc tenuit comitatum et Hugonis Attoariorum comitis" by charter dated to [966/989][80]The Chronicle of St Bénigne de Dijon records the death of "Hugo comes Divionensis" and a donation by "Adalburgis comitissa uxor eius" for his soul "cum laude filiorum ipsius Gibuini Catalauennsis Episcopi et Richardi qui post eum hunc tenuit comitatum et Hugonis Attoariorum comitis", the brothers later in the same passage recorded as having donated further land "post obitum matris"[81], the latter donation being recorded in the cartulary[82].  Although undated, the passage follows immediately after text recording the death of Louis IV King of France, recorded elsewhere in 954.  In the Chronicle of St Bénigne, as interpolated in the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines, the same donation is recorded under 958[83].  Hugues [I] & his wife had five children: 

a)         RICHARD de Dijon (-1007 or before).  "Vuarnerius...nobilis" donated property "in comitatu Divionensi in villa Spaniaco" to Saint-Bénigne-de-Dijon, in the presence of "Richardo comite atque Hugone et Odone fratribus eius", by charter dated to [990/1007][84]The Chronicle of St Bénigne de Dijon records a donation by "Warnerius et ipse nobilis" with the consent of "Alde uxoris sue", subscribed by "Ricardo comite atque Hugone et Odone fratribus eius", undated but following another record relating to a donation dated 1007[85].  The Chronicle of St Bénigne de Dijon records the death of "Hugo comes Divionensis" and a donation by "Adalburgis comitissa uxor eius" for his soul "cum laude filiorum ipsius Gibuini Catalauennsis Episcopi et Richardi qui post eum hunc tenuit comitatum et Hugonis Attoariorum comitis", the brothers later in the same passage recorded as having donated further land "post obitum matris"[86].  The Chronicle of St Bénigne de Dijon records a donation by "Warnerius et ipse nobilis" with the consent of "Alde uxoris sue", subscribed by "Ricardo comite atque Hugone et Odone fratribus eius", undated but following another record relating to a donation dated 1007[87]Comte de Dijonm ADDITA, daughter of --- (-1007 or after).  The Chronicle of St Bénigne de Dijon records a donation by "Addita comitissa uxor Richardi comitis Divionensis" made "pro salute anime eiusdem viri sui et filii sui Letaldi comitis (quorum corpora sepelierat in hoc monasterio Divionensi" dated 1007[88].  The same donation, in similar words, is recorded in the cartulary of Saint-Bénigne-de-Dijon by charter dated 1007[89].  Richard & his wife had one child:

B.      VICOMTES de DIJON

 

 

No primary source has been identified which confirms the parentage of Robert Vicomte de Dijon.  Bouchard suggests that he was Robert (-after 952), brother of Raoul [II] Comte de Dijon[100].  On the other hand, Settipani suggests that Vicomte Robert may have been “le fils (ou le neveu) de Robert, frère d’Adémar [shown above as [Robert] possible brother of “Adémar Comte [de Dijon]]“[101].  His name, and the name Raoul given to his oldest son, certainly suggests his descent from the earlier Comtes de Dijon. 

 

ROBERT (-[960], after Jun 960).  Vicomte de DijonThe Chronicle of St Bénigne de Dijon records a claim brought by “Wisone Advocato sancti Benigni” against "Rotbertus Vicecomes" at Dijon, relating to the ownership of certain serfs, undated but following a passage recording events in 925[102].  "Hugo...comes et marchio" donated property "in comitatu Belnensi...in uilla...Nolliacus et...in uilla Crisentiaco", for the souls of “genitoris nostri Richardi et Adheleidis”, in the presence of “Gilbertus comes, Albericus comes et filius eius Leotaldus et Adso noster fidelis”, by charter dated 1 Sep 936, subscribed by “...Roberti uicecomitis...[103].  “Gislebertus...comes Heduensis atque aliarum patriarum”, at the request of “Roberti Divionensis”, granted property to “suo fidele Guitbaldus...” by charter dated “III Id Dec Indictione XIV anno VII regnante Ludovico rege” [dated to 942 by Duchesne], subscribed by “Gisleberti comitis, Ermengardi quæ consensit, Adaleidis filie eorum similiter quæ consensit, Rodberti...Hengeltrudis, Rodulfi filii prædicti Roberti...[104].  This charter is dated to 11 Dec 934 by the editor of the Dijon Saint-Etienne cartulary[105].  The difficulty appears to lie in calculating the regnal years of King Louis IV: although this charter is not listed by Prou, he shows other charters dated “anno VI” and “anno VIII” which he attributes to 942-944 (although the Induction years are inconsistent)[106], which suggests that “943” is the more likely date.  "Rotbertus…vicecomes et coniunx mea Ingeltrudis" donated property to Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire for the soul of "Ramgardis" by charter dated Dec 958 subscribed by "Lanberti filii eorum, Wichardi, Ugonis, Letaldi, Waloni"[107].  “Frotgarii episcopi, Rotberti comitis cum uxore sua Ingeltrude, Lamberti comitis qui consensit...et Gausberti qui consensit...” subscribed the charter dated Jun 960 under which “Frotgarius...Cabilonensis ecclesiæ...episcopus” granted “capella...in comitatu Lugd. in villa Saviniaco...pertinet ejus beneficium ad abbatiam S. Marcelli” to “Bernardo atque Evrardo”, with the consent of “Rotberti comitis, qui præfixam et abbatiam tenebat sancti Marcelli[108].  However, Canat de Chizy, editor of the Saint-Marcel-lès-Chalon cartulary, indicates that the reference “...Rotberti comitis...” represents the only time of which he was aware when Robert was accorded the comital title and suggests that “il est prudent de reconnaître là une faute du copiste[109]

m INGELTRUDE, daughter of --- (-after Jun 960).  "Rotbertus…vicecomes et coniunx mea Ingeltrudis" donated property to Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire by charter dated Dec 958 subscribed by "Lanberti filii eorum, Wichardi, Ugonis, Letaldi, Waloni"[110].  Several theories have been proposed concerning the origin of Ingeltrud, which has not been confirmed.  Chaume says that she belonged “incontestablement à la famille des vicomtes de Mâcon”, noting the 944 charter cited below, and suggests that she was “une nièce, peut-être même une fille du vicomte Racoux”, although he also notes that the name “Engeltrude, au neuvième siècle, est exclusivement porté par des femmes appartenant à la famille des Adalard” one of the branches of which settled “en Lyonnais, en Mâconnais et en Autunois[111].  Poupardin records that Lot “conjecture avec une certaine vraisemblance que la femme d’Aubri Ier de Mâcon et celle de Robert, père de Lambert, étaient sœurs”, suggesting that this family relationship could explain the hostility of Hugues Bishop of Auxerre (Lambert’s son) and Othon-Guillaume Comte de Mâcon (see the document BURGUNDY DUCHY-MÂCON & BEAUJEU)[112].  On the other hand, Chaume indicates that [her son] Lambert “se rattachait par sa mère à la branche lyonnaise de la maison des Alard, qui, après s’être alliée à la famille des Thierri et des Thouins, avait fini par s’unir d’assez près à la dynastie vicomtale de Mâcon : c’est de chef que Lambert pouvait se dire consanguineus de Liétaud II” (which refers to the 944 charter cited below under Lambert)[113].  A completely different origin is proposed by Jackman who suggests, for onomastic reasons only, that she may have been the daughter of Eberhard Graf im Oberlahngau, Pfalzgraf [Konradiner] (see the document FRANCONIA)[114], a suggestion which seems unlikely both from a geographical perspective and because of the absence of any typical Konradiner names among this couple's known descendants.  Gislebertus...comes Heduensis atque aliarum patriarum”, at the request of “Roberti Divionensis”, granted property to “suo fidele Guitbaldus...” by charter by charter dated “III Id Dec Indictione XIV anno VII regnante Ludovico rege” [dated to 942 by Duchesne, probably 943, see above], subscribed by “...Rodberti...Hengeltrudis, Rodulfi filii prædicti Roberti...[115]Frotgarii episcopi, Rotberti comitis cum uxore sua Ingeltrude, Lamberti comitis qui consensit...et Gausberti qui consensit...” subscribed the charter dated Jun 960 cited above under her husband[116]

Robert & his wife had three children: 

1.         RAOULGislebertus...comes Heduensis atque aliarum patriarum”, at the request of “Roberti Divionensis”, granted property to “suo fidele Guitbaldus...” by charter by charter dated “III Id Dec Indictione XIV anno VII regnante Ludovico rege” [dated to 942 by Duchesne, probably 943, see above], subscribed by “...Rodberti...Hengeltrudis, Rodulfi filii prædicti Roberti...[117].  The inclusion of Raoul in the subscription list suggests that he was his parents’ oldest son.  same person as...?  RAOUL “Albus/le Blanc” (-13 Nov ----, after 990).  Vicomte de Dijon.  The Chronicle of Saint-Bénigne de Dijon records that “alter quidam huius castri Divionensis civis, nobili ortus genere Rodulfus, Albus vocatus cognomine” became a monk at Bèze[118]The Chronicle of Saint-Pierre de Bèze records the installation of "Rodulfus...antequam…Vice-Comes Divionensis" as Prior of Bèze and his death "Id Nov"[119].  The circumstances of his resignation as vicomte have not been ascertained.  Lot says that “il vécut très vieux et qu’il se fit moine au moment où Guillaume fut ordonné abbé de Saint-Bénigne...c’est à dire en 990[120].  It has been assumed that this person was different from Raoul “Divioni comes”, whose abduction of Lietgarde, wife of Otton/Eudes of Burgundy, is recorded in the Annales Nivernenses: that person is shown above as Raoul [III] Comte de Dijon, possible son of Comte Raoul [II], because Raoul “Albus/le Blanc” is only named “vicomte” in the sources cited above.  Settipani suggests a different possibility, that Raoul [III] was the same person as Raoul who was named in 942, and therefore was the son of Vicomte Robert, and that Vicomte Raoul “Albus/le Blanc” was his son[121]

2.         LAMBERT (-22 Feb 978, bur Paray-le-Moniale).  “Leotaldus et uxor mea Berta” donated “mansus indominicatus cum æcclesia Beati Martini, quem mihi Lanbertus, consanguineus meus, dedit, et soror mea Attala michi postea reddidit, situs in pago Cabillonense, in villa Flagiaco..." to Cluny by charter dated Feb 944 (“anno VIII regnante Ludovicho rege”)[122].  "Lanbertus" is identifies as Lambert, future comte de Chalon, by Chaume[123] and Settipani[124].  The precise Dijon-Chalon/Mâcon family relationship has not been established, although Chaume suggests that it was through Lambert’s mother as indicated above.  "Lanberti filii eorum…" subscribed the charter dated Dec 958 under which "Rotbertus…vicecomes et coniunx mea Ingeltrudis" donated property to Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire[125]Comte [de Chalon]. 

-        COMTES de CHALON

3.         ROBERT (-after May 999).  "Rodbertus vicecomes Cabilonensis frater domni Lamberti comitis" donated property to the abbey of Paray-le-Moniale by an undated charter[126].  Vicomte de Chalon: “Rotbertus vicecomes in Cabilon civitatem, in mallo publico” issued a proclamation relating to “ereditatem Acoldri” by charter dated Jun 955[127].  “...Adalaidis comitissæ humilis et Hugonis filii eius, Rotberti vicecomitis...” subscribed the charter dated 30 Nov 980 under which Raoul Bishop of Chalon confirmed a donation of property in Chalon made to Cluny by “Ageno archidiaconus noster[128].  "Robertus vicecomes Cabilonis civitate" donated property to Saint-Marcel-lès-Chalon by charter dated to [994/99], subscribed by "Hugonis comitis…ipsius Roberti uxoris eius Helisabeth"[129].  “Hugonis episcopi, Henrici ducis, Ottonis comitis, Guidonis comitis, Mauricii comitis, Rodberti vicecomitis, Gaufredi, Richardi comitis...” subscribed the charter dated May 999 which records that Hugues Comte de Chalon and bishop of Auxerre donated Paray-le-Monial to Cluny[130]m ELISABETH, daughter of --- (-after [994/99]).  "Robertus vicecomes Cabilonis civitate" donated property to Saint-Marcel-lès-Chalon by charter dated to [994/99], subscribed by "Hugonis comitis…ipsius Roberti uxoris eius Helisabeth"[131]

 

 

The undated document quoted below records that Létaud was related to Lambert Comte de Chalon and Bernard (described as “cognatis suis”).  The term used does not necessarily mean that Bernard was related by blood to Lambert.  The precise family relationships (which could be through either the paternal or maternal line) have not been ascertained.  The name Létaud suggests a connection with the comtes de Mâcon, which recalls the Feb 944 charter cited above under Lambert which records that “Leotaldus [Létaud Comte de Mâcon] et uxor mea Berta” named “Lanbertus, consanguineus meus"[132]

 

1.         BERNARD (-after 956).  An undated document, dated by the editor to [8 Apr/17 Jun] 956 and specifying “Hugonis Magni temporibus, Lanberto Allobrogum comite”, records that “Letaldus miles, Teduini Gordonensis castri patruus” committed himself to “predicto Lanberto atque Bernardo, cognatis...suis” [for joint operations]; records that “Arverni” invaded Burgundy but were defeated by “Lanbertum necnon Bernardum” who, after Letald and others were killed, donated property “in villa...Vetula Vinea, alium in loco...Moncellus...” to Perrecy[133]: Settipani reviews the identification of “Lanberto Allobrogum comite” as Lambert Comte de Chalon, and notes that Létaud was killed at “Chalmoux (c. 955) contre les Arvernes[134].  It is uncertain whether the following document refers to the same Bernard: the Miraculi Sancti Benedicti record the dispute between “Bernardus...ejusdem Burgundiæ vir illustris, dominusque castri...Uzon [Uchon]” and “sibi affinitate propinquo, non minoris potentiæ...Letboldo”, concerning property donated to “Patriciacum monasterium” [Perrecy] and which ended with Bernard killing Letbaud[135].  Settipani suggests that this possible co-identity “c’est peut-être aller un peu vite[136]

 

 

Two brothers:

1.         LETAUD (-killed in battle Chalmoux [955]).  An undated document, dated by the editor to [8 Apr/17 Jun] 956 and specifying “Hugonis Magni temporibus, Lanberto Allobrogum comite”, records that “Letaldus miles, Teduini Gordonensis castri patruus” committed himself to “predicto Lanberto atque Bernardo, cognatis...suis” [for joint operations]; records that “Arverni” invaded Burgundy but were defeated by “Lanbertum necnon Bernardum” who, after Letald and others were killed, donated property “in villa...Vetula Vinea, alium in loco...Moncellus...” to Perrecy[137]: Settipani reviews the identification of “Lanberto Allobrogum comite” as Lambert Comte de Chalon, and notes that Létaud was killed at “Chalmoux (c. 955) contre les Arvernes[138]

2.         brother .  m ---.  One child: 

a)         TEDUIN de Gourdon .  He is named in the undated document quoted above under Létaud, who is named patruus of Teduin, indicating that the latter’s father was Létaud’s brother (assuming that the term was used in its strict sense of paternal uncle). 

 

The following document presumably relates to the above family of Létaud: “Teduinus et uxor mea Eldeberga” donated “res...in pago Matisconense in agro Amniaco in villa Masiaco” to Cluny, for the salvation of “filiorum nostrorum” and for the soul of “Evraldi filii nostri”, by charter dated 20 Mar 938, subscribed by “...Teodorici, Adalardi, Letaldi, alterius Letaldi, Johannis, Anseramni, Sevaldi[139]

 

 

1.         GUY Dives (-after 1 Mar 1043).  "Robertus…dux et rector inferioris Burgundiæ" donated property to Saint-Bénigne-de-Dijon by charter dated 1 Mar 1043 subscribed by "Vuidonis militis Divionensis, Vualterii vicecomitis filii predicti Vuidonis, Vuilenci fratris Vualterii"[140]A charter dated to [1155] records the life of "Garnerio…præposito" of Saint-Etienne de Dijon, and previous donations to the abbey including those by "dominus Humbertus de Malleio et…uxor eius Anna…secum suo consanguineo Guidone agnominato Divite, Divinionensi vicecomite" during the reign of Henri I King of France, by "Guido Dives miles de quo supra diximus", "mater…eius Anna"[141]m ---.  The name of Guy's wife is not known.  Guy & his wife had two children: 

a)         GAUTHIER (-after 1 Mar 1043).  "Robertus…dux et rector inferioris Burgundiæ" donated property to Saint-Bénigne-de-Dijon by charter dated 1 Mar 1043 subscribed by "Vuidonis militis Divionensis, Vualterii vicecomitis filii predicti Vuidonis, Vuilenci fratris Vualterii"[142]Vicomte de Dijon.  A charter dated to [1092/1101] recites the past history of property whose possession was later challenged, naming as previous possessors "Vuido cognomina Dives qui habuit filium Vualterium", the daughter of Gauthier who married "Tetbaldus de Belno vicecomes Divionensis" and the latter couple's daughter who married "Josbertus de Castellione"[143]m ---.  The name of Gauthier's wife is not known.  Gauthier & his wife had one child:

i)          daughter .  A charter dated to [1092/1101] recites the past history of property whose possession was later challenged, naming as previous possessors "Vuido cognomina Dives qui habuit filium Vualterium", the daughter of Gauthier who married "Tetbaldus de Belno vicecomes Divionensis" and the latter couple's daughter who married "Josbertus de Castellione"[144]m THIBAUT de Beaune, son of ---.  Vicomte de Dijon

b)         GUILENC (-after 1 Mar 1043).  "Robertus…dux et rector inferioris Burgundiæ" donated property to Saint-Bénigne-de-Dijon by charter dated 1 Mar 1043 subscribed by "Vuidonis militis Divionensis, Vualterii vicecomitis filii predicti Vuidonis, Vuilenci fratris Vualterii"[145]

 

 

 

C.      VICOMTES de DIJON (LA FERTE-sur-AUBE)

 

 

Gosbert [IV] de la Ferté inherited the vicomté de Dijon from the family of his wife, who was the daughter of Thibaut de Beaune Vicomte de Dijon and his wife (daughter of Gauthier Vicomte de Dijon) who are shown in the previous section.  Full details of his family are shown in the document CHAMPAGNE NOBILITY - BAR-sur-SEINE. 

 

 

1.         GOSBERT [IV] de la Ferté, son of GOSBERT [II] “Rufus” & his wife Lucie de Beaune (-[1153])"Josbertus Rufus" donated property to Clairvaux by undated charter, dated to before 1126, witnessed by "Lucia uxor Josberti…Josbertus filius Josberti…Gertrudis uxor ipsius Josberti junioris"[146]Vicomte de Dijon.  "…Gosberti vicecomitis…" subscribed the charter dated to [1120/24] under which "dominus Arnulfus Cornutus cum uxore sua et Rainaudo filio suo" donated property to Saint-Etienne de Dijon[147].  "Josbertus de Firmitate filius Josberti Rufi" donated property to Clairvaux, with the consent of "uxore sua Gertrude", by undated charter, dated to before 1145, witnessed by "Hugo de Bellomonte, frater predicte Gertrudis…"[148].  "Gosbertus vicecomes Divionensis", leaving for Jerusalem, donated property at Dijon held by "Petrus prepositus Aymonis Rufi" to the church of Saint-Etienne de Dijon, with the consent of "Ebrardus Marescaldus prepositus", by charter dated 1145, later approved by "Gertrudis vicecomitissa"[149]A charter dated 1164 records various donations to Clairvaux, including donations by "Jobertus de Firmitate", with the consent of "uxore sua Gertrude", witnessed by "…Erlebaldus et Johannes filii vicecomitis de Firmitate, Herbertus vicecomes de Barro"[150].   

 

 

 

D.      VICOMTES de DIJON (CHAMPLITTE)

 

 

Champlitte is located midway between Langres and Besançon, north of the town of Gray, about 40 kilometres north-east of Dijon.  Today it is in the French département of Haute-Saône, arrondissement Vesoul, canton Champlitte.  In early medieval times it was probably situated in the county of Atuyer.  Eudes [II], son of Eudes [I] “le Champenois” whose legitimacy was challenged as discussed below, is linked in primary sources with Champlitte which was presumably granted to him or his father by the duke of Burgundy.  Eudes [II] inherited the vicomté de Dijon from the family of his mother, who was the presumed niece of Gosbert [IV] de la Ferté Vicomte de Dijon who is shown in the previous section. 

 

 

EUDES [I] "le Champenois", [illegitimate] son of [HUGUES Comte de Troyes/---] & his second wife Isabelle de Mâcon (-1187 or after)The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Odonem…de Canlita" as son of "Hugo comes Campanie" and his second wife, but specifies that "dictum est a phisicis comiti Hugoni…non habebat possibilitatem generandi" and concludes therefore that Eudes could not have been Hugues’s son[151].  The identity of Eudes’s mother is confirmed by the charter dated 1155 quoted below.  The question of Eudes’s illegitimacy is not as straight-forward as might be imagined from Alberic’s Chronicle taken in isolation.  The king of France’s grant of property to Eudes suggests there was little doubt at the time about his legitimacy: the Chronique de Guillaume de Nangis records that Louis VII King of France led an army against "Thibaut comte de Champagne" and captured "le château de Vitry" which he granted to “Eudes de Champagne, neveu du comte Thibaut, qui lui avait enlevé son patrimoine”, dated to 1143[152].  The implication of this passage is that Eudes’s paternal first cousin, Thibaut IV Comte de Champagne, had raised a claim about Eudes’s illegitimacy as an excuse to seize his property, and that the French king had had limited success in invading Champagne in support of Eudes and had granted him the only property which they had succeeded in capturing.  [Seigneur de Vitry: the status of Eudes “le Champenois” in Vitry is unclear considering that Eudes Comte de Rethel and his descendants are recorded as châtelains de Vitry from the early 12th century.]  Eudes was presumably unable to retain Vitry for long as he is later recorded in Burgundy where he must have found refuge with his maternal family: “Odonem nepotem comitis Guillelmi” donated property to Besançon, for the soul of “avunculi sui comitis Raynaldi”, by charter dated 1155[153].  A further indication of Eudes’s legitimacy is provided by the imperial recognition implicit in the following grant: Emperor Friedrich I granted Quingiacum, Lislam, Lobium”, as held by “comes Reinaldus in vita sua”, and “villam juxta Dolam...Campus-Pagani” to “Odo Campaniensis...Beatricis...consortis nostræ consanguineus”, by charter dated 26 Jul 1166, witnessed by “...Galcherus de Salins, Wido abbas, Girardus de Fontvens...Gislebertus vicecomes Visulii...Gaymarus de Cycun...[154].  The source which confirms his date of death has not been identified. 

m SIBYLLE, daughter of --- & his wife --- de la Ferté [Châtillon, Vicomtes de Dijon] (-1177, bur Acey).  A charter dated 1164 records various donations to Clairvaux, including donations by "Jobertus de Firmitate", with the consent of "uxore sua Gertrude", and by "Mathildis soror eisdem Josberti", with the consent of "Odo Campaniensis…Sibilla et uxor Odonis neptis Joberti…", witnessed by “...Erlebaldus et Johannes filii vicecomitis de Firmitate, Herbertus vicecomes de Barro[155].  According to Dunod, she was buried “dans l’abbaye d’Assé” but he does not cite the corresponding primary source[156]

Eudes [I] & his wife had six children: 

1.         EUDES [II] de Champlitte (-Constantinople May 1204, bur Constantinople Church of the Apostles).  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "de Chanlita Odo et Guilelmus filius Odonis"[157]Vicomte de Dijon, which he inherited through his maternal grandmother, whose brother Gosbert [IV] "Rufus" de la Ferté was Vicomte de Dijon.  Villehardouin names "Eudes le Champenois de Champlitte and his brother Guillaume" when recording that they joined the Fourth Crusade in Sep 1200 at Cîteaux[158].  Villehardouin records the death of "Eudes de Champlitte" at Constantinople and his burial "in the church of the Holy Apostles"[159]m firstly [--- de Mont-Saint-Jean, daughter of HUGUES Seigneur de Mont-Saint-Jean & his wife Elisabeth de Vergy.  Her parentage and marriage are indicated by the undated charter under which “Stephanus de Monte Sancti Iohannis” swore allegiance to “Odo Dux Burgundiæ dominus meus ligius”, in the war with “comite Cabilonensi et...Hugone de Vergeio, et dominus de Champlite”, adding that “alter dominorum de Champlite sororius meus erat”, and naming “...Willelmum dominum Anceii et Poncium fratres meos, Willelmum de Marrignei, Hugonem de Tricastello nepotes meos” among his guarantors[160].  It is not known which of the Champlitte brothers is indicated by “alter dominorum de Champlite sororius meus”.  The naming of “...Willelmum de Marrignei...nepotes meos” among the guarantors does not help in identifying Etienne’s “sororius”: Guillaume de Marigny is assumed to be the son of Aimon de Marigny, first husband of Etienne’s sister Elisabeth, who could therefore already have been married to Guillaume de Champlitte at the time.]  m secondly (before 1200) as her first husband, EMMELINE de Broyes, daughter of HUGUES [III] de Broyes et de Châteauvillain & his second wife Isabelle de Dreux Dame de Baudémont [Capet] (-1248 or after).  Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 1200 under which "Hugo dominus Brecarum" donated property to Clairvaux, with the consent of "Elisabeth uxor mea et Symon filius meus junior et Emelina filia mea domina de Chanlita"[161]She married secondly (1205, divorced Sep 1224, remarried before 1228?) Erard [II] Seigneur de Chacenay.  "Erardus dominus Chacenaii" donated property to Montier-la-Celle with the consent of "Emelina uxor mea et filius meus Erardus et filie mee Mahaut et Johanneta" by charter dated 1218[162].  The contract of divorce between "Erardus dominus Chascegnay" and "Emeline uxoris mee", with the consent of "Elisabeth domine Castri Villani et Simonis filii sui", is dated Sep 1224, names "Oda dicta Emeline primogenita" and provides for the dowry of "M. filiam meam" on her marriage to "comiti Gigeti"[163].  Presumably Emmeline was taken back by her second husband after their divorce as shown by the following charters.  "Erardus dominus de Chacennaio" donated property to Mores, with the consent of "Emeline uxoris mee…filii mei Erardus et Hugo", by charter dated 1228[164]"Erardus dominus de Chacenay" agreed to share “hominibus et feminis...in villa de Essoya” with Molesme, with the consent of “Ameline uxoris mee et Erardi et Hugonis heredum meorum”, by charter dated [15 Apr 1229/7 Apr 1230][165].  "Erard de Chacenay" recognised an obligation to return property to Clairvaux, for the soul of "Erard son père", by charter dated Jul 1248, which refers to his mother being alive at that date[166].  A charter dated Apr 1249 refers to a donation to Mores made by "nobili quondam domina Emelina bone memorie matre…Erardi domini Chacennai"[167].  Eudes & his first wife had one child: 

a)         EUDETTE [Oda] de Champlitte (-after Jun 1231).  The contract of divorce between "Erardus dominus Chascegnay" and "Emeline uxoris mee", with the consent of "Elisabeth domine Castri Villani et Simonis filii sui", is dated Sep 1224, names "Oda dicta Emeline primogenita" and provides for the dowry of "M. filiam meam" on her marriage to "comiti Gigeti"[168]Dame de Champlitte until 1228.  “Guillaume de Vergy frere d’Alix de Vergy duchesse de Bourgongne” bought “la ville de Champlite” from “Hugues Chastellain de Gand et de Oede sa femme” by charter dated 1228[169]Hugo Gandensis castellanus uxorque mea Oda filiusque meis Hugo primogenitus” granted privileges to the church of Sainte-Marie de Baserode by charter dated 1228[170]Hugues châtelain de Gand et Ode sa femme” declared having sold “leur maison dite Wal et Vorhof et la terre…Boengartland” at Gent to “Alexandre fils de Bauduin fils d’Alexandre de Gand” by charter dated Jun 1231[171]m HUGO [II] Burchgraeve van Gent, son of SIGER [III] Burchgraeve van Gent & his wife Beatrix de Houdain (-[Sep/26 Nov] 1232). 

2.         GUILLAUME [I] de Champlitte (-1210).  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "de Chanlita Odo et Guilelmus filius Odonis"[172]Seigneur de Landrechies.  Vicomte de Dijon"Willelmus dominus Marchie et frater Odonis Chanliti" donated property to Auberive for the soul of "fratris mei Huonis", with the consent of "Aalis uxor mea", by charter dated 1196[173].  "Guillelmus de Chanlite" confirmed the donation of “pasturas suas de Lagnia” to Quincy abbey made by “Hugo de Lagnia...”, with the support of “uxore mea Eustachia”, by charter dated 1200[174]Villehardouin names "Eudes le Champenois de Champlitte and his brother Guillaume" when recording that they joined the Fourth Crusade in Sep 1200 at Cîteaux[175].  The source are contradictory regarding the role of Guillaume de Champlitte in the conquest of Morea/Achaia.  The Livre de la Conqueste de la Morée records that “le tiers frere dou...conte de Champaigne...le Champenois” arrived “en la Morée...en un casal que on appelle Achaye à l’encontre de Patras” where he “fist fermer un chastel de motes sur mer” from where he fought the Greeks and captured Patras and Andreville[176].  A different perspective is provided by Guillaume de Villehardouin who records that “Joffrois de Ville-Hardoin qui ere niers Jofforis li mareschaus de Romanie et de Champaigne, fil son frere” left “la terre de Surie” and landed “au port de Modon” where he allied himself with “uns Griex qui mult ere Sire del païs” and conquered the territory with him, was expelled by “li fil al Grieu” after the death of his ally, joined “li Marchis” [Bonifazio di Monferrato], and proposed to “Guillelme de Chanlitte” to come and reconquer together “[la] terre...la Morée” which “li Marchis li abandona[177].  The Livre de la Conqueste de la Morée records that “li Champenois” was chosen as prince[178], from which he is generally referred to as GUILLAUME Prince of Achaia although the extent to which he governed the future principality himself is open to doubt.  All these events are dated to [1205].  Pope Innocent III wrote to the patriarch of Constantinople by charter dated 19 Nov 1205 which names "W. Campaniensis princeps totius Achaiæ provinciæ"[179].  Fine states that Guillaume was able to take control of most of the peninsula with little opposition from the Greeks whom he treated as allies, averting anarchy and civil war[180].  On hearing of the death of his older brother in 1208 he left for Burgundy to claim his inheritance, appointing a commission under the presidency of Geoffroy de Villehardouin to divide Morea into fiefs, with his nephew Hugues as his bailly in Achaia.  Guillaume died on the journey home in Apulia, followed by Hugues soon after, leaving Villehardouin as bailly until the next of kin arrived from France[181]The Livre de la Conqueste de la Morée records that “li Champenois” appointed “un sien cousin…Robert” to succeed him in Achaia but that his arrival in Greece was delayed by the machinations of Geoffroy de Villehardouin beyond the year and one day provided for in documentation agreed with Guillaume de Champlitte, failure to comply with which would result in Geoffroy being declared heir[182]Furon suggests that “ce récit tient plus de la légende que de la réalité[183]m firstly ALIX, daughter of --- (-1196).  "Willelmus dominus Marchie et frater Odonis Chanliti" donated property to Auberive for the soul of "fratris mei Huonis", with the consent of "Aalis uxor mea", by charter dated 1196[184]According to Europäische Stammtafeln, the first wife of Guillaume de Champlitte Prince of Achaia (whose son by his second marriage became vicomte de Dijon) was “Alais [de Montréal] Dame de Meursault” (no indication of the primary source on which this speculation is based)[185].  The same table shows the couple’s daughter as “Elisabeth Dame de Meursault”, who married firstly Pierre des Barres and secondly Philippe d’Antigny.  It is unlikely that Guillaume’s wife was a member of the Montréal family.  The only known daughter of Anséric [II] Seigneur de Montréal (from a chronological point of view the most likely candidate for the father of any wife of Guillaume de Champlitte) was probably Elisabeth Dame de Meursault (named in Sep 1221), the question of whose parentage is discussed in detail in the section of the present document which deals with the Seigneurs de Montréal.  No connection between her and the Champlitte family has been found.  m secondly (1196, divorced 1199) as her second husband, ELISABETH de Mont-Saint-Jean, widow of AIMON Seigneur de Marigny Connétable de Bourgogne, daughter of HUGUES de Mont-Saint-Jean & his wife Elisabeth de Vergy (-after 1210).  She married thirdly (1200) as his second wife, Bertrand de Saudon.  The primary source which confirms this marriage has not been identified.  "Bertrand de Saudon" reached agreement with Maizières abbey, with the support of "uxor mea de Monte Sancti Johannis et filii mei", by charter dated 1200[186].  "Bertrand de Saudon" donated property to Bussière abbey, with the support of "uxore sua matre domini Willelmi de Marrigni...cum duabus filiabus suis...et...suis filiis quos de prima uxore habuit, Hugone...et Bertranno, Haimone, Willelmo, Roberto et Josberto", by charter dated 1202[187].  "Bertrand de Saudon" reached agreement with Maizières abbey, with the support of "Hysabeaus uxor eiusdem Bertrandi et filii sui", by charter dated 1210[188]m thirdly ([1200]) as her second husband, EUSTACHIE de Courtenay Dame de Placy-sur-Armancon, widow of GUILLAUME de Brienne, daughter of PIERRE de France Seigneur de Courtenay & his wife Elisabeth de Courtenay (-6 Apr after 1235).  "Eustachia uxor defuncti Guillelmi de Brena" confirmed her husband’s deathbed donation to Quincy by charter dated 1199[189].  "Guillelmus de Chanlite" confirmed the donation of “pasturas suas de Lagnia” to Quincy abbey made by “Hugo de Lagnia...”, with the support of “uxore mea Eustachia”, by charter dated 1200[190]She married thirdly ([1211]) as his third wife, Guillaume [I] Comte de SancerreEustachia comitissa Sacricesaris” recorded that “filius meus...bone memorie Andreas de Brena” had requested her and “fratri meo Willelmo de Tanlay” to carry out his last wishes, and founded an anniversary for him at Auxerre Saint-Etienne where he was buried, by charter dated May 1215[191].  The necrology of La Chartreuse de Bellary records the death "6 Apr" of "Eustache comtesse de Sancerre"[192].  Guillaume [I] & his [third] wife had three children: 

a)         GUILLAUME [II] de Champlitte (-[1271/73], bur Pontailler Notre Dame).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified.  Vicomte de Dijon.  “Guillaume de Champlite vicomte de Dijon et son frère Eudes de Lamarche” confirmed donations made to Cîteaux by “Hugues de la Corvée” by charter dated 3 Mar 1224[193]Guillaume de Champlitte seigneur de Pontsailler vicomte de Dijon” donated two serf families to Cîteaux, for the soul of “Aanor sa femme défunte”, by charter dated Aug 1241[194].  “Guillaume de Champlitte vicomte de Dijon” donated property to Notre-Dame de Pontailler, for the souls of “sa défunte femme Aanor et de Catherine sa femme”, with the consent of “ses fils Guillaume, Eude, Robert, Simon, André”, by charter dated Nov 1246[195].  "Guillelmus de Chanlita vicecomes Divionensis" donated revenue from "estaulos meos de Pontoiller" to Montiéramy, for the anniversary of “domine Katherine uxoris mee”, by charter dated Jun 1254[196].  “Guillaume de Champlitte vicomte de Dijon” donated a family of serfs to Cîteaux, for the souls of “ses femmes défuntes Aanor et Katherine”, with the consent of “Guillaume son fils aîné et de ses autres enfants”, by charter dated Oct 1254[197]m firstly ELEONORE [de Grancey, daughter of EUDES [II] Seigneur de Grancey & his wife Clémence de Chacenay] (-before Aug 1241).  “Guillaume de Champlitte seigneur de Pontsailler vicomte de Dijon” donated two serf families to Cîteaux, for the soul of “Aanor sa femme défunte”, by charter dated Aug 1241[198]Europäische Stammtafeln indicates that she was the daughter of Eudes [II] Seigneur de Grancey[199].  The primary source which confirms that this parentage is correct has not been identified.  m secondly ([Aug 1241/Nov 1246]) CATHERINE, daughter of --- (-[Jun 1254]).  “Guillaume de Champlitte vicomte de Dijon” donated property to Notre-Dame de Pontailler, for the souls of “sa défunte femme Aanor et de Catherine sa femme”, with the consent of “ses fils Guillaume, Eude, Robert, Simon, André”, by charter dated Nov 1246[200].  "Guillelmus de Chanlita vicecomes Divionensis" donated revenue from "estaulos meos de Pontoiller" to Montiéramy, for the anniversary of “domine Katherine uxoris mee”, by charter dated Jun 1254[201].  “Guillaume de Champlitte vicomte de Dijon” donated a family of serfs to Cîteaux, for the souls of “ses femmes défuntes Aanor et Katherine”, with the consent of “Guillaume son fils aîné et de ses autres enfants”, by charter dated Oct 1254[202]

b)         EUDES de ChamplitteThe primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified, although the source dated 3 Mar 1224 quoted below confirms that he was the brother of Guillaume [II] de Champlitte Vicomte de Dijon.  Seigneur de Lamarche-sur-Saône.  Guillaume de Champlite vicomte de Dijon et son frère Eudes de Lamarche” confirmed donations made to Cîteaux by “Hugues de la Corvée” by charter dated 3 Mar 1224[204]A. ducissa Burgundiæ et W. de Vergei dominus Mirebelli...fratris eius” donated “villam de Ouges”, purchased from “O. de Marchia filio quondam Willelmi de Chanlite...consanguineo meo”, by charter dated 6 Jan 1226[205]

c)         ELISABETH de Champlitte (-after 1244).  The charter dated 1244 quoted below confirms that she was the sister of Guillaume [II] de Champlitte Vicomte de Dijon, but the source which confirms their parentage has not been identified.  “Eudes seigneur de Grancey” sold property “aux Frères de la milice du Temple de la baillie de Bures”, with the consent of “sa femme Elisabeth et de ses enfants Eudes et Guillaume”, by charter dated Mar 1242[206].  "Elisabeth dame de Grancey" recorded a dispute between her and "Eude seigneur de Grancey son mari" concerning property donated to Clairvaux, and that after her husband’s death she renounced her claims, by charter dated 1244, which names "Guillelmum de Chamlita vicecomitem Divionensem fratrem meum…Hugonem dominum Chacenaii…" among the guarantors[207]m EUDES [III] Seigneur de Grancey, son of EUDES [II] Seigneur de Grancey & his wife Clémence de Chacenay (-Mar 1242/1244]). 

3.         PONS de Champlitte .  The primary source which confirms his existence has not been identified.  1151. 

4.         LOUIS de Champlitte (-1202).  The primary source which confirms his existence has not been identified. 

5.         HUGUES de Champlitte (-1196).  "Willelmus dominus Marchie et frater Odonis Chanliti" donated property to Auberive for the soul of "fratris mei Huonis", with the consent of "Aalis uxor mea", by charter dated 1196[208]

6.         BEATRIX de Champlitte (-[1217/19]).  The primary source which confirms her parentage and two marriages has not been identified.  “Béatrix dame de Clefmont d’accord avec Simon V son fils et Robert trésorier de Langres” donated rights to use woods collect building material to the church of Notre-Dame de Bourg[-Sainte-Marie], for the souls of “Simon IV son mari tué dans l’expédition de Jérusalem et de son fils Guichard”, by charter dated [14 Apr 1191/5 Apr 1192][209]According to the charter dated Apr 1209, under which [her son] Simon de Claromonte” acknowledged Blanche comtesse de Champagne as his suzerain, he inherited property “apud Firmitatem super Albam et in Nundinis Campaniæ quod est ex parte matris meæ[210].  The question of her marriages is confused by the following document: [her son] Guillaume de Deuilly sold “une partie des biens qui lui sont revenus lorsqu’il est entré en possession de l’héritage de sa mère”, committing to obtain the consent of “Haymon domino Fuscensii, son demi-frère”, by charter dated Apr 1226, confirmed by the bishop of Langres who specified that “Haymon” was “filiaster, c’est à dire le beau-fils de Joffroi sire de Deuilly[211].  The place indicated by “Fuscencii” has not been identified, although it seems unlikely to refer to Clefmont (the property of Béatrix’s known first husband).  Could the document refer to Béatrix’s son by an otherwise unrecorded second marriage?  If that is correct, it is unclear why the interests of Simon [IV] Seigneur de Clefmont, her older son by her first marriage, would have been ignored in the Apr 1226 document.  The other possibility is therefore that “Haymon” represents a mistranscription for “Simon”, although in that case “Fuscensii” remains unexplained.  m firstly ([1170]) as his second wife, SIMON [III] Seigneur de Clefmont, son of ROBERT GUISCARD Seigneur de Clefmont & his wife Beatrix de Vignory (-4 Jul [1190]).  m secondly ([1196]) as his first wife, GEOFFROY de Vaudémont Seigneur de Deuilly, son of GERARD [II] Comte de Vaudémont & his first wife Gertrude de Joinville (-after Mar [1239/40]). 

 

 

The exact relationship between the following individual and the Champlitte family has not yet been established. 

1.         ROBERT (-after 1210).  The Livre de la Conqueste de la Morée records that “li Champenois” appointed “un sien cousin…Robert” to succeed him in Achaia but that his arrival in Greece was delayed by the machinations of Geoffroy de Villehardouin beyond the year and one day provided for in documentation agreed with Guillaume de Champlitte, failure to comply with which would result in Geoffroy being declared heir[212]

A.      SEIGNEURS de GRANCEY

 

 

Grancey, now called Grancey-le-Château-Neuvelle, was located about about 30 kilometres north of Dijon and about the same distance south-west of Langres, in the present-day French département of Côte-d’Or, arrondissement Dijon, canton Grancey-le-Château-Neuvelle.  The bishops of Langres were suzerains of Grancey in the early 12th century: Pope Pascal II confirmed the possession of numerous castles to the bishop of Langres, including “...castrum Granceyum...”, by bull dated [1105][213]

 

 

1.         GERARD de Grancey"Girardus de Granciaco" donated his rights in "Tesa de Aquodio" [Teza d’Ahuy] to Saint-Etienne de Dijon, by undated charter, dated to the mid-11th century[214]

 

2.         GUY de Grancey .  "Widonem de Grancyacho" donated his rights in "Tezam…apud Aquodium" [Teza d’Ahuy] to Saint-Etienne de Dijon, in the presence of "Gosbertus Rufus de Castelione et Scimaudus de Tylocastro", by undated charter, dated to the mid-11th century[215]

 

3.         HUGUES de Grancey (-after [1119]).  "...Hugo de Granciaco..." subscribed the charter dated 16 Feb 1107 under which Hugues II Duke of Burgundy confirmed protection to Saint-Bénigne de Dijon[216].  "…Hugo de Granciaco dapifer ducis…" witnessed the charter dated to 1119 which records donations to Cîteaux by Seguin doyen d’Autun et de Saulieu[217]An undated charter, dated to [1120/24], records that "Hugo Dapifer", dying at Saint-Etienne de Dijon, donated property to enable "filium suum clericum Gislebertum" to become a monk there, with the consent of "uxoris suæ et filiorum suorum Raymundi, Galoni, Gosberti"[218]m ---.  The name of Hugues’s wife is not known.  Hugues & his wife had four children: 

a)         RAYMOND de Grancey (-after 1143).  An undated charter, dated to [1120/24], records that "Hugo Dapifer", dying at Saint-Etienne de Dijon, donated property to enable "filium suum clericum Gislebertum" to become a monk there, with the consent of "uxoris suæ et filiorum suorum Raymundi, Galoni, Gosberti"[219]“...Raimundus de Granceio et Golbertus frater eius…” witnessed the charter dated 1143 under which Thibaut Comte de Bloise and Eudes Duke of Burgundy agreed that the abbey of Saint-Germain d’Auxerre was a fief of the latter[220]Raymundus de Granceio de quo in fedo tenebat et uxor eius Ducissa...coram Gisleberto canonico fratre ipsius Raymundi” consented to the donation made by “Pontius miles de Sancto Lupo uxorque sua Lancenna” to Dijon Saint-Etienne by undated charter[221].  m DUCISSA [de Bourgogne, daughter of HUGUES II "Borel/le Pacifique" Duke of Burgundy [Capet] & his wife Mathilde de Mayenne] ([1128][222]-).  Raymundus de Granceio de quo in fedo tenebat et uxor eius Ducissa...coram Gisleberto canonico fratre ipsius Raymundi” consented to the donation made by “Pontius miles de Sancto Lupo uxorque sua Lancenna” to Dijon Saint-Etienne by undated charter[223].  Her parentage is shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[224].  The primary source on which this is based has not been identified.  It is possible that it is speculative, on the assumption that "Ducissa" indicates a connection with the family of the dukes of Burgundy, which is not necessarily the case.  She is not named among the daughters of Duke Hugues II who are listed by Ernest Petit[225]

b)         GALON .  An undated charter, dated to [1120/24], records that "Hugo Dapifer", dying at Saint-Etienne de Dijon, donated property to enable "filium suum clericum Gislebertum" to become a monk there, with the consent of "uxoris suæ et filiorum suorum Raymundi, Galoni, Gosberti"[226]

2.         ROBERT de Grancey (-after 1341).  Seigneur de Larrey.  The marriage contract between "Oudet seigneur de Grancey le chastel escuyer", with the consent “des Seigneurs de Larrey son oncle et de Ioinville son cousin”, and “damoiselle Mahaut fille de Miles seigneur de Noyers chevalier et conseiller du Roy” is dated Jan 1331[310]m JACQUETTE de Montfaucon Dame de Meursault et de Cugney, daughter of THIERRY de Montfaucon Seigneur de Montfort & his wife Jeanne de Montagu [Bourgogne-Capet] ([1280/85]-).  Her parentage and marriage are shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[311].  The primary source on which this information is based has not been identified.  Robert & his wife had children: 

a)         EUDES de Grancey (-1376[312])The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified.  m [ALIX d’Arcis-sur-Aube Dame de Cussy-en-Morvan, d’Ancy-le-Franc, d’Eclance et de Pisy, daughter of GUILLAUME d’Arcis & his wife Gille de Jaucourt (-after 1379)].  Europäische Stammtafeln shows her parentage and marriage[313], adding in another table that her first husband was “Renaud de Choiseul”[314], who has not been identified in the Choiseul family and may represent confusion with her supposed son-in-law.  The primary source on which this information is based has not been identified.  Eudes & his wife had children: 

i)          [[JEANNE] [de Grancey] (-[30 Nov 1385, bur Morimond]).  Dame d’Eclance.  The suggested identity of the wife of Renaud de Choiseul Seigneur d’Aigremont is based on reading several sources together.  The charter dated 24 May 1386, under which Renaud sire d’Aigremont ayant le bail de ses enfants Jean, Guillaume et Alix” provided details of “sa terre d’Eclance” to the duke of Burgundy[315], suggests that Renaud’s wife was recently deceased and that she had bequeathed Eclance to her children, who were still minors and represented by their father in dealings concerning that property.  If that is correct, the date suggests that Renaud’s wife may have been Jeanne de Grancey, whose death is recorded at Morimond: the letter dated 4 Feb 1661 which records epitaphs then in the church of Morimond, includes “Regnier de Choiseul [d’Aigremont seigneur] qui trépassa ---“ and “sa femme Jeanne de Grancey dame d’Aigremont” who died “1385 jour de Saint-André” [30 Nov 1385][316].  This assumes that “Regnier” in the epitaph was an error for “Renaud”, an unsurprising mistake considering the resemblance of the old form of the latter (“Regnard”) to “Regnier”.  No record has been found linking Eclance to the Grancey family.  However, Petit names “Catherine de Vienne, femme de Robert de Grancey, et Jeanne d’Esclance” as the two dames d’honneur of Jeanne de Bourgogne, sister of Philippe I “de Rouvres” Duke of Burgundy, in 1360[317].  The name “Jeanne d’Esclance” suggests that this may have been the same person as Renaud’s future wife, and if that is correct the connection of her fellow dame d’honneur with Grancey suggests a family connection between two ladies.  According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Jeanne was the daughter of Eudes de Grancey Seigneur de Larrey, died 1339[318], which if correct suggests that Jeanne was somewhat older than her husband which sounds unlikely.  The chronology suggests that, if [Jeanne] belonged to the Larrey branch of the Grancey family, she was more likely Eudes’s granddaughter.  m ([1260/70]) RENAUD de Choiseul Seigneur d’Aigremont, son of RENIER [III] de Choiseul Seigneur d’Aigremont & his wife --- ([1345/50]-[20 Jan 1391/23 Jan 1402]).]

4.         [son .  The identity of the parents of Gaucher and Eudes, named below, is not known.  While the involvement of the bishop in the second charter quoted below may suggest a family relationship, neither document specifies their parentage.  The reference to the inheritance from their relative “Bertrand Peregrin” suggests that they were not the sons of Eudes Seigneur de Montagu, whose other sons would presumably have shared in the succession if they had also enjoyed a hereditary right.  One possibility is that Gaucher and Eudes were the sons of another brother of the bishop.  However, this does not provide a completely satisfactory answer to the question as, if correct, it seems unlikely that Bertrand Peregrin was related through their father, while if the relationship was through their mother the involvement of the bishop in the succession is difficult to explain.  Another possibility is therefore that Gaucher and Eudes were not related to the family of the seigneurs de Montagu at all, but took their name from the castle of the seigneurs where they lived.]  m ---.  Two children: 

a)         GAUCHER de Montagu (-after Dec 1255).  “Gaucher et Odet de Montagu frères damoiseaux” acknowledged holding property “en fief à Jambles et à Courtiambles” from the bishop of Chalon-sur-Saône by charter dated Dec 1255[408].  “Alexandre de Montagu évêque de Chalon” reached agreement with “Gaucher de Montagu damoiseau et Eudes son frère” regarding “l’héritage que ces frères réclamaient à Jambles et à Courtiambles et qui provenait de Bertrand Peregrin leur parent” by charter dated Dec 1255[409]

E.      COMTES (SEIGNEURS) de SAULX

 

 

Saulx, now known as Saulx-le-Duc, is located about 15 kilometres north of Dijon, in the present-day French département of Côte-d’Or, arrondissement Dijon, canton Is-sur-Tille.  The bishops of Langres were suzerains of Saulx in the early 12th century: Pope Pascal II confirmed the possession of numerous castles to the bishop of Langres, including “...castrum Sala...”, by bull dated [1105][439]

 

 

1.         GUY [I] (-after 1057).  Comte de Saulx.  “...Widonis comitis Salcinimontis...” subscribed the charter dated 2 Feb 1053 under which Robertus dux et duo filii mei Hugo et Henricus” renounced rights to revenue from land “in Gilliaco” in favour of Saint-Germain-des-Prés[440].   A charter dated 1057 records that "domno Guidone comite de castro Salicum" quarrelled with Saint-Bénigne de Dijon[441]

ii)         [HUGUES de Saulx .  Plancher says that, based on the documents he had found, Barthélemy was the only confirmed son of Guy [IV] de Saulx and his wife Elisabeth, adding that “Cependant ceux qui ont déja travaillé à la généalogie de la Maison de Saux, sans produire d’Autres titres, leur donnent un second fils nommé Henri, mais sans aucun fondement” and concluding that “Cet Henri…est le même que nous avons donné, et qu’ils ont donnez eux-mêmes à Guy II [indicating the person named above “Guy [III]] et tous les titres où il est fait mention de cet Henri, ne conviennent qu’au fils de Guy II. comme il est aisé de s’en convaincre par la seule inspection des dates[533].  On an earlier page, Plancher, relating to Henri son of Guy [III], records only the charter dated 1170 in favour of Auberive abbey (cited below)[534].  However, other later documents which name Henri, son of Guy [III], are also cited below.  Plancher’s suggestion concerning the family chronology seems reasonable, especially in light of the 1197 and 1203 charters cited above under their father which suggest that the children of Barthélemy were still young in the late 1190s/early 1200s.]

GAUTHIER [I] de Saulx, son of BARTHELEMY Seigneur de Saulx & his wife Beatrix de Ruffey-lès-Beaune (-6 Oct 1267, bur Saint-Bénigne de Dijon)Europáische Stammtafeln records his parentage and descendants[562].  The primary sources which confirm this information have not been identified.  Seigneur de Courtivron, presumably succeeding his father as such when the latter succeeded as seigneur de Saulx (see above).  Plancher records documents dated 1236 and 1246 which name Gauthier[563].  A charter dated Sep 1254 records an agreement between Saint-Bénigne de Dijon and “Gautier seignor de Cortiuron” concerning property “à Vullé” [Villy-sur-Tille][564]An epitaph at Saint-Bénigne de Dijon records the burial of “Galterus Miles de progenie Dominorum de Saux, Dominus de Courtivron” who died Oct 1267 “in die Sta Fidis Virginis[565]

m ---.  The name of Gauthier’s wife is not known. 

Gauthier [I] & his wife had two children: 

1.         EUDES de Saulx (-Oct 1299, bur Tarful Saint-Brice).  Europáische Stammtafeln records his parentage[566].  This information appears confirmed by a charter dated Jun 1299 under which Eudes donated his remaining rights in Villy-sur-Tille to Saint-Bénigne de Dijon (Gauthier having confirmed a donation of part of his rights under the Sep 1254 charter cited above)[567]Seigneur de CourtivronAn epitaph at Tarful Saint-Brice records the burial of “Messire Odes Sire de Courtivron” who died Oct 1299[568]m ISABELLE, daughter of --- (-Aug 1320, bur Tarful Saint-Brice).  Plancher says that “On croit que la femme d’Eudes Seigneur de Courtivron fut…Isabeau”, citing an epitaph at Tarful Saint-Brice which records the burial of “Isabeaux de Saulx Dame de Courtivron” who died 1320 “le diémonge aprés la St. Pierre entrant Aost[569].  Eudes & his wife had two children: 

a)         GEOFFROY de Saulx (-1289, bur Tarful Saint-Brice).  An epitaph at Tarful Saint-Brice records the burial of “Jofreois li fiz. aus Seingnour de Courtivron” who died 1289[570]

b)         MARIE de Saulx (-25 Mar 1307, bur Theuley).  An epitaph at Theuley records the burial of “Dame Marie de Courtivron Dame de St. Seine” who died “le jour de l’Annunciacium Nre Dame” 1307[571]Europáische Stammtafeln records her husband’s name and date of death[572].  The primary sources which confirm this information have not been identified.  m RENAUD de Saint-Seine Vicomte de Gray, son of --- (-1281). 

2.         JEAN de Saulx (-after 1284).  Europáische Stammtafeln records his parentage, and his testament dated 1284[573]

 

 

Considerable doubt exists relating to the seigneurs de Courtivron from the mid-14th century.  Europáische Stammtafeln names “Nicolas Rr sn de Courtivron 1316/50, 27 Apr 1357” as son, and presumed successor, of Eudes Seigneur de Courtivron[574].  He is not named by Plancher, who records a different succession of seigneurs de Courtivron as shown below[575].  The primary sources which confirm this information have not been identified, unless otherwise shown below. 

 

1.         NICOLAS de Saulx (-[1350/27 Apr 1357]).  Seigneur de CourtivronEuropáische Stammtafeln names “Nicolas Rr sn de Courtivron 1316/50, 27 Apr 1357” as son, and presumed successor, of Eudes Seigneur de Courtivron[576].  Plancher does not name Nicolas or his daughter[577]m BEATRIX du Meix, daughter of --- (-after 27 Apr 1357).  Europáische Stammtafeln records her family origin and marriage[578].  It should be noted that Plancher names Gauthier [II] “Seigneur de Courtrivon et du Meix” (see below)Nicolas & his wife had one child: 

a)         ISABELLE de Saulx (-1370).  Europáische Stammtafeln names “Isabelle, /1362 Dame du Meix, /1365 Dame de Courtivron, Dame d’Autricourt †1370” as daughter (and presumed heir) of Nicolas, and records her three marriages[579]m firstly THIBAUT de Rougemont Seigneur de Tilchâtel, son of --- (-after 1351).  m secondly (before 27 Apr 1357) HUGUES de Vienne dit de Neublans Seigneur de Commensailles et d’Eclance-en-Champagne, son of --- ([1361/63]).  m thirdly (before Apr 1366) GERARD de Rougemont, son of ---. 

 

 

Plancher says that “Gautier II. du nom, Seigneur de Courtivron, du Meix, etc. fut comme on le croit, fils d’Eudes et d’Isabeau[580], a suggestion which appears stretched from a chronological point of view.  In addition, Europáische Stammtafeln does not name Gauthier [II] in its Saulx reconstruction, but names Nicolas as son, and presumed successor, of Eudes Seigneur de Courtivron as shown above[581]The primary sources which confirm the following information about Gauthier and his presumed successors have not been identified, unless otherwise shown below.  It is interesting to note that Jean de Saulx, son of Gauthier [II] according to Plancher, is named “Châtelain…de Salives” in the 1354, 1356, and 1359 accounts of Vitel cited below.  The wife of Henri de Saulx (younger son of Guy [III] Seigneur de Saulx, see above) is named “Dame de Salvia”: could this either indicate confusion between the descendants of Gauthier [I] de Saulx Seigneur de Courtivron and those of Henri de Saulx, or that, at some point in time, the family of one became the heirs of the other? 

 

1.         GAUTHIER [II] de Saulx (-after 1354).  Seigneur de Courtivron et du Meix[582].  Plancher records a receipt granted by Gauthier as Gruyer de Bourgogne”, dated 1335, for grain he had received for “l’Hôtel du Duc” from “[le] Châtelain d’Aisy”, noting also that he attended the Parlement in 1352 and 1354[583]

 

2.         AIGLANTINE de Saux (-[early] Nov 1352, bur Beyre Saint-Laurent).  Plancher names Aiglantine as the daughter of Gauthier [II] (and “sa femme…Marguerite Dame de Magny-sur-Tille”)[584].  He cites no source to confirm this parentage, and the confusion relating to this family in the mid-14th century suggests that it should not be accepted automatically without further corroboration.  An epitaph at Beyre Saint-Laurent records the burial of Madame Aglantine de Courtivron Dame de Bere” who died “le mardy devant la St Martin d’iver” 1352[585]

 

 

1.         --- de Saulx (-[before 19 Apr 1351]).  The [19 Apr] 1351 document cited below, in which his son Jean is named “Seigneur de Courtrivon”, suggests that his father was deceased at the time.  This indication appears inconsistent with Plancher’s assertion that Gauthier [II] was still alive in 1354 (see above), and in turn suggests that Marguerite’s husband may not have been Gauthier [II] as indicated by Plancher.  m MARGUERITE Dame de Magny-sur-Tille, daughter of --- (-after 19 Apr 1351).  Jean de Saux, Seigneur de Courtivron, Chevlier, conjointement avec sa mere Marguerite Dame de Magny” sold a meadow “en la prairie de Magny” to “Jean Geliot Bourgeois de Dijon” by contract dated “[le] mardi après Pacques [19 Apr?] l’an 1351[586].  --- & his wife had two children:

i)          EMONIN de Saulx (-[1392]).  Named with his brother as heirs and executors under their father’s testament cited above, Plancher cites a source dated 21 Jun 1376 which names him “Châtelain de Saux”, and records his death “vers l’an 1393[592]m JEANNE de Pommart, daughter of ---.  Plancher records her family origin and marriage[593].  Emenon & his wife had four children: 

(1)       JEAN [II] de Saulx (-Oct 1420, bur Quartier, near Courtivron).  Plancher records that he and his brothers agreed their father’s succession, that Jean [I] granted  “les terre, Château et Seigneurie de Courtivron” to Jean [II][594]Seigneur de Courtivron.  Chancelier de Bourgogne 9 Apr 1404[595].  Plancher records other documents dated Feb 1408, 20 Dec 1412, 14 Feb 1412 (O.S.), 17 Feb 1417, 26 Jun 1419, 6 Jun 1420 in which Jean [II] was named[596].  An epitaph at Quartier priory, near Courtivron records the burial of “Noble Seigneur Messire Jean de Saux Chevalier jadis Seigneur de Courtivron et Chancelier de Mr de Bourgogne” who died Oct 1420, and of “Perréte de Mairey sa femme” who died May 1423[597]m PERRETTE de Mairey, daughter of --- (-May 1423, bur Quartier, near Courtivron).  An epitaph at Quartier priory, near Courtivron records the burial of “Noble Seigneur Messire Jean de Saux Chevalier jadis Seigneur de Courtivron et Chancelier de Mr de Bourgogne” who died Oct 1420, and of “Perréte de Mairey sa femme” who died May 1423[598].  Jean [II] & his wife had one child: 

(a)       AGNES [Anne] de Saux (-[1443])Plancher records her parentage and marriage, noting a document dated 1435 which records actions taken by her husband in his wife’s name in the Parlement de Beaune, and her death “vers l’an 1443[599]m (1435 or before) as his second wife, PIERRE de Bauffremont Seigneur de Molinot et de Montfort, son of HENRI de Bauffremont Seigneur de Scey-sur-Saône et de Mirebeau & his wife Jeanne de Vergy ([1397]-7 Aug 1472, bur prieuré de Glanot-lez-Mont-Saint-Jean). 

Jean [II] had one illegitimate child by an unknown mistress: 

(b)        JEAN de Saulx “le Jeune” (-1434).  Conseiller du duc de Bourgogne, Maire de la ville de Dijon, legitimated by letters of Philippe “le Bon” Duke of Burgundy dated 1432[600].  , Plancher records other documents dated [24 Apr 1399], 1413, 1418, 11 Apr 1420, 1426, 12 Aug 1427, 1430-32 in which he was named, suggests his two possible sons named Lambert de Saulx (named 1407, 6 Oct 1409, 27 Jun 1413) and his brother Robert de Saulx Doyen de la Sainte Chapelle, and records Jean’s death in 1434 (no source cited)[601]

F.      SEIGNEURS de TILCHÂTEL

 

 

Tilchâtel, now known as Til-Châtel, is located about 15 kilometres north of Dijon, about the same distance south-east of Grancey and 10 kilometres due east of Saulx, in the present-day French département of Côte-d’Or, arrondissement Dijon, canton Is-sur-Tille.  The bishops of Langres were suzerains of Tilchâtel in the early 12th century: Pope Pascal II confirmed the possession of numerous castles to the bishop of Langres, including “...Tylecastrum...”, by bull dated [1105][606]

Two brothers: 

1.         AIMON de Tilchâtel (-before 1179).  Seigneur de Tilchâtel.  A charter dated 1179 confirms that "Guido dominus Tilecastri" confirmed the donation by "frater suus bone memorie Aimon dominus Tilecastri" to the Templars at Mormant, with the consent of "uxore sua Margarita" by whom he had "unicum…nondum unius anni puorum Guillelmum"[635]

a)         GUILLAUME ([1178/79]-before 1186).  A charter dated 1179 confirms that "Guido dominus Tilecastri" confirmed the donation by "frater suus bone memorie Aimon dominus Tilecastri" to the Templars at Mormant, with the consent of "uxore sua Margarita" by whom he had "unicum…nondum unius anni puorum Guillelmum"[643]

Two siblings.  The primary source which confirms their parentage has not been identified.  The chronology suggests that they could have been children of Guy [III] Seigneur de Tilchâtel who is named above.  Faget de Casteljau says that this was the case but he cites no source which confirms that it is correct[645]

 

1.         GUY [IV] de Tilchâtel (-21 Jan 1241)Seigneur de TilchâtelWillaume” granted privileges to the inhabitants of Bourbonne, with the consent of “Guion mon mari seigneur de Tricastel et de Jehan et de Heugue mes fieux”, by charter dated 12 Mar 1204 (O.S.)[646].  The date of this charter may be incorrect: Charles IV King of France ratified two acts by charter dated Apr 1323, one of which was a vidimus confirming the privileges granted to Bourbonne “en 1234 par Willelmine avec l’assentiment de son mari Guion sire de Tilchâtel et de ses fils Hugues et Jean[647].  An epitaph at Tilchâtel Saint-Florent records the death “1240 XII Kal Feb” [presumably O.S.] of “Guillaume [presumably an error for Guy] signor de Trichastel[648]m ([before 1207?]) GUILLEMETTE [de Bourbonne] Dame de Bourbonne [en partie], daughter of [GUY Seigneur de Coublant & his wife Alix [Constance] ---] (-23 Feb 1238).  “Willaume” granted privileges to the inhabitants of Bourbonne, with the consent of “Guion mon mari seigneur de Tricastel et de Jehan et de Heugue mes fieux”, by charter dated 12 Mar 1204 (O.S.) [incorrectly dated? see above][649]Faget de Casteljau dates Guillemette’s marriage to “avant 1207[650].  He does not discuss the basis for his assessment but it is consistent with the suggested birth date of her daughter Beatrix.  The parentage of Guillemette, wife of Guy [IV] Seigneur de Tilchâtel, is uncertain.  Lacordaire says that Guillemette was the sister of “Renier III Seigneur de Bourbonne” (presumably indicating Renier [II], see below)[651], which seems chronologically impossible and fails to explain her connection with Coublant.  Faget de Casteljau, assuming that the 12 Mar 1204 document is incorrectly dated, says that she was the same person as the daughter of Guy de Coublant.  He cites no source confirming this parentage, but says that Guy de Tilchâtel and his wife “avec leurs fils Jean et Hugues” acted “comme seigneur de Coublant” in 1232[652]A third possibility is that Guillemette was an otherwise unrecorded sister of Guy de Coublant who inherited her share in Bourbonne and Coublant after her brothers died.  Guillemette’s shared interest in Bourbonne is confirmed by the charter dated 10 Sep 1320 (vidimus dated 11 Dec 1347) under which a copy of another charter (under which Louis, the future Louis X King of France, affirmed the jurisdiction of “Renardi de Choysello” [Bourbonne] over “Juxiaco ecclesia”) was sent to “Monseignor Renard de Choissuel et ma dame Guillaume de Borbone et les autres seignors qui de lours tennent ensemble tous les hommes et habitants de la ville de Bourbonne[653]The necrology of Cîteaux records the death "VII Kal Mar" of "Wuillelma uxor domini Guidonis Tilecastri"[654].  An epitaph at Tilchâtel Saint-Florent records the death “1238 VII Kal Mar” of “Guillaumette dame de Trichastel[655].  Guy [IV] & his wife had five children: 

a)         JEAN de Tilchâtel (-22 Jan 1275, bur Tilchâtel Saint-Florent)Willaume” granted privileges to the inhabitants of Bourbonne, with the consent of “Guion mon mari seigneur de Tricastel et de Jehan et de Heugue mes fieux”, by charter dated 12 Mar 1204 (O.S.)

i)          ISABELLE de Tilchâtel (-after 1300).  The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified, although they are indicated by the charter dated Feb 1279 which names her husband “frère” of Guy Seigneur de Tilchâtel, assuming that the term was used in the extended sense of brother-in-law.  Faget de Casteljau dates Isabelle’s marriage to 1252 but does not explain the basis for this date[665]m ([1252]) GUILLAUME Seigneur de Grancey, son of EUDES [III] Seigneur de Grancey & his wife Elisabeth de Champlitte (-[1297]).

The parentage of the following person has not been ascertained.  Presumably she was descended from Guillelme Dame de Bourbonne, wife of Guy [IV] Seigneur de Tilchâtel (see above).  As her descent could be in the female line, her family name is not shown below. 

 

1.         GUILLEMETTE (-[before 1340] or [after 1370]).  By charter dated Apr 1319 “Willaume de Monthureux-sur-Saône écuyer et Guillaume veuve de Jean seigneur de Monthureux-sur-Saône chevalier” notified that the late Jean had objected to the sale of property to Flabémont abbey by “Pierre de Mandres” (dated Apr 1311) but now approved the sale[690].  “Guillaume dame de Monstureul sur Sone et de Bourbonne en partie” donated property to the hospital of Bourbonne Saint-Antoine by charter dated Feb 1320 (O.S.?), sealed by “Guillaume de Monstureul mon frère[691]Faget de Casteljau notes that she was mother of “Guillaume de Monthureux sire de Bourbonne en 1348”, adding that she was “dame de Bourbonne en 1370[692].  The mention of her supposed son Jean as “seigneur de Bourbonne” in 1340 suggests that his mother may have been deceased at the time and that the 1370 reference is to another Guillemette.  Faget de Casteljau records her supposed second marriage, adding that the couple’s son Jean de Mailly “seigneur en parite de Bourbonne en 1340” reached agreement in 1362 with “Richard de Mailly et Simon abbesse de Tart, ses frêre et sœur nés d’un premier mariage de Guy de Mailly avec Simone de Châtillon-en-Varais avec laquelle il vivait en 1309[693]m [firstly] (before Apr 1319) JEAN Seigneur de Monthureux-sur-Saône [Monstreuil], son of --- (-[Apr 1311/Apr 1319]).  [m secondly as his second wife, GUY de Mailly, son of JEAN de Mailly & his wife Marie de Palleau.]
