Arlay is a commune in the southern part of the county of Burgundy about 40 kilometres due east of Chalon-sur-Saône and about the distance west of the present-day border with Switzerland, in the département of Jura, arrondissement Lons-le-Saunier, canton Bletterans. In the mid-13th century, the castle of Arlay was held by a younger branch of the Chalon/Bourgogne-Comté family. The family inherited the principality of Orange by marriage in the late 14th century.

JEAN de Salins, son of JEAN [I] "l'Antique" Comte de Chalon, Seigneur de Salins & his third wife Laurette de Commercy ([1259/60]-before 30 Oct 1315, [maybe 13 Feb 1315,] bur Mont-Sainte-Marie). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 27 Apr 1279 in which “Othes cuens de Bourgoingne, palatins et sires de Salins” names “nostre…oncle…Jehan de Chalon, signour d’Arlay…”[1]. His date of birth is estimated on the assumption that he was born soon after his father’s third marriage. Clerc suggests that he was aged 55 when he died[2], presumably on the basis of the same assumption. “Jehans cuens de Bourgoigne et sires de Salins” granted “le chastel de Chalemont…” to “es enfant que nous avons et aurons de la contesse Lore, nostre tierce fame, fille de jadis mons. Symon de Commercy”, by charter dated 25 Mar 1263[3]. Seigneur d'Arlay. A charter dated 4 May 1269 confirms the restitution of “le donjon de l’Estoille” to “dame Lore contesse de Chalon et à Jehan son fils” by “Estienes sires d’Oiseler…et li sires de Jayz”[4]. “Lore ça en arrières feme du noble baron Jehan conte de Borgoigne et seigneur de Salins et Jehan fliz dudit conte et de ladite Lore” acknowledged receiving “le chestel de Bleterans” from “Othon de Borgoigne seigneur de Salin” acting as executor of “Perrin le Boviers filz ça en arrières dudit conte” by charter dated 29 Apr 1274[5]. Rudolf I von Habsburg King of Germany, his brother-in-law, granted the town and castle of Neuchâtel to Jean in [1288]. He fought with Rudolf, as the latter's Lieutenant, in the war against the Counts of Burgundy and Ferrette in 1289, being rewarded with the avouerie of the Abbaye de Saint-Claude in May 1291. He bought the vicomté of Besançon from Eudes de Montferrand: “Eudes de Montferrand” gave “la vicomté de Besançon” to “Humbert de Clairvaux” by charter dated 1293, and in the same year Humbert de Clairvaux received the vicomté “en fief de Jean de Chalon-Arlay” and Adolf King of Germany confirmed it to “Jean de Chalon-Arlay et à Humbert de Clairvaux”[6]. Marshal of the Bishop of Liège 1297/98. Philippe IV "le Bel" King of France recognised him as Governor of the County of Burgundy 28 Aug 1306[7]. His date of death is set by the charter dated 30 Oct 1315 of Louis X King of France which refers to the inheritance of “Hugone de Cabilone domino de Arlato, milite, et Johanne de Cabilone…eius fratre”[8]. A tableau at the funerary chapel of the seigneur de Chalon at the abbey of Mont-Sainte-Marie records his death “Id Feb 1315”[9]. Clerc comments that this tableau is “quelquefois fautif” but “est ici d’accord avec les événements”. It is uncertain whether this comment can be correct: if the date was O.S., as might be expected, the charter dated 20 Oct 1315 quoted above indicates that Jean could not have died 13 Feb 1316.

m firstly (contract 26 Sep 1272, 1280) MARGUERITE de Bourgogne, daughter of HUGUES IV Duke of Burgundy & his second wife Béatrice de Champagne (-after [1305]). The testament of “Hugo dux Burgundiæ”, dated Sep 1272, bequeathed dowry for “Margaretam filiam meam” for her marriage to “Ioanni filio quondam...Ioannis comitis Burgundie domini Salinensis defuncti”[10]. The testament of “Hugo de Burgundia, dominus Montis Regalis” dated 1 Apr 1285 names “filiam meam Beatricem…uxor mea Margarita…Ysabellam Romanorum reginam, B. comitissam Marchie, et Marguaritam dominam Allaii uxorem Johannis de Cabilone militis, sorores meas”[11]. “Jehans de Chalon, sires d’Arlay, et Marguerite sa fame, et Biatrix de Bourgoingne comtesse de La Marche et d’Angoulesme, suer de ladite Marguerite” issued a charter dated to [1305] relating to the purchase of “la chestellenie de Lylle souz Monreaul”[12]. Dame de Vitteaux 1294, by grant of her half-brother Duke Robert as part of the succession of her brother Huguenin.

m secondly ([1312]) as her second husband, ALIX de Clermont Vicomtesse de Châteaudun, dame de Mondoubleau, heiress of Dunois, widow of GUILLAUME de Flandre Heer van Dendermonde, daughter of RAOUL [III] de Clermont Seigneur de Nesle, Connétable de France & his first wife Alix de Dreux Vicomtesse de Châteaudun (-1330). Her parentage and two marriages are confirmed by the marriage contract between "Robert comte de Boloigne et Robert de Boloigne chevalier son fils" and "Jehan de Chalon Seigneur d’Arlay et Aelis dame de Neele sa femme...et Marie de Flandres fille de ladite dame de Neele", dated Feb 1312[13]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln, the daughter of Guillaume de Flandre Heer van Dendermonde was the second wife of Jean de Chalon Seigneur d'Arlay[14]. The previously quoted source demonstrates that this is incorrect.

Jean & his first wife had three children:

1. HUGUES de Chalon (-4 Dec 1322, bur Mont-Sainte-Marie). “Jehans de Chalon sires d’Allay et de Neelle” granted “le fié dou chestel de Poupet dessus Salins” to “nostre…fiz Hugue de Chalon chevalier” by charter dated 6 Aug 1314[15]. Seigneur d'Arlay et de Vitteaux. The charter dated 30 Oct 1315 of Louis X King of France refers to the inheritance of “Hugone de Cabilone domino de Arlato, milite, et Johanne de Cabilone…eius fratre”[16]. Philippe V King of France agreed an alliance with Hugues Seigneur d’Arlay at Orange by charter dated 4 Mar 1316 (N.S.)[17]. An attestation given 18 Feb 1437 by the abbot of Mont-Sainte-Marie records the death in 1322 of “Hugues” buried in the Chalon chapel[18]. Clerc records his date of death without citing the source on which he bases this information[19]. His testament, dated mid-Nov 1322 (“le lundi après la saint Martin d’hiver 1322”) required all his sons to become clerics apart from the eldest and placed them under the guardianship of his wife[20]. m (13 Feb 1302, Papal dispensation 19 Feb 1304) BEATRIX de la Tour du Pin, daughter of HUMBERT [I] de la Tour du Pin Dauphin de Viennois & his wife Anne Dauphine de Viennois Ctss d'Albon (after 1273-10 or 12 Jun 1347). The contract of marriage between "Humbertus Dalphinus Viennensis et Albonis comes…Beatrici filiæ nostri" and "Johannes de Cabilione dominus de Arlaco…Hugo de Cabilione filius" is dated 13 Feb 1302[21]. Pope Benedict XI’s dispensation for the marriage, despite the couple’s 4^o consanguinity, is dated 19 Feb 1304[22]. A charter dated 22 Jul 1331 records a dispute arbitrated by “Béatrix de Viennois dame d’Arlay”[23]. “Béatrix de Viennois dame d’Arlay veuve de Hugues de Chalon” swore homage “au dauphin” for “le château...de Cuiseaux” by charter dated 29 Oct 1332[24]. A charter dated 1336 records subscriptions to the hospital founded by Humbert Dauphin de Viennois, including by "amita nostra Dom. Beatrix de Viennesio, domina de Arlaco…Beatrix de Sabaudia consanguinea nostra consors Humberti de Villariis militis…Guillelma consors Henrici de Drenco militis, Beatrix de Vallebonesio consanguinea nostra…"[25]. The necrology of Saint-Claude records the death "II Id Jun" of "Beatrix Viennensis domina de Allaio"[26]. Hugues & his wife had four children:

a) JEAN de Chalon (-25/26 Feb 1362, bur Mont Sainte-Marie). His family origin is indicated by the following document: “Jean de Chalon-Arlay” exchanged “terre à Châtelblanc”, granted by “Jean son oncle paternel évêque de Langres” to “Perrenet bâtard de Chalon”, for “rente sur le péage de Jougne” with the same Perrenet by charter dated 1340[27]. Seigneur d'Arlay, d'Arguel et de Cuiseaux.

- see below.

b) LOUIS de Chalon (-after 1322). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified.

c) HUGUES de Chalon (-1340, bur Mont-Sainte-Marie). Seigneur de La Rivière. An attestation given 18 Feb 1437 by the abbot of Mont-Sainte-Marie records the death in 1362 of “Jean le Grand” and of “Hugues son frère” (no date of death), both buried in the Chalon chapel[28].

d) JACQUES de Chalon . The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified. Seigneur de Vitteaux.

2. JEAN de Chalon (1300-22 Jun 1334). His family origin is indicated by the charter dated 1340 quoted below under Jean’s possible illegitimate son Perrenet. The charter dated 30 Oct 1315 of Louis X King of France refers to the inheritance of “Hugone de Cabilone domino de Arlato, milite, et Johanne de Cabilone…eius fratre”[29]. Canon at Langres Cathedral and Besançon Cathedral 1316. Canon in Paris 1317. Deacon of Langres Cathedral 1318. Bishop of Basel 1325, resigned 1328. Bishop of Langres 1328. Pair de France. Bishop Jean had one possible illegitimate son by an unknown mistress:

a) [PERRENET bâtard de Chalon (-after 1340). “Jean de Chalon-Arlay” [Jean de Chalon Seigneur d’Arlay, nephew of Bishop Jean, see below] exchanged “terre à Châtelblanc”, granted by “Jean son oncle paternel évêque de Langres” to “Perrenet bâtard de Chalon”, for “rente sur le péage de Jougne” with the same Perrenet by charter dated 1340[30]. An explanation for the original grant by Bishop Jean is that Perrenet was his illegitimate son.]

3. ISABELLE de Chalon (-[10 Mar 1352/19 Jun 1359]). "Gioanni di Challon Signore d'Arlay" and "--- di Savoia Signore di Vaud" agreed to transfer property as part of the dowry of "Isabella di Chalon sua Sorella Moglie di detto Signore di Vaud" dated Feb 1309[31], although "sorella" is presumably an error for "figlia". The contract of marriage between "Lodovico di Savoia Signore di Vaud" and "Isabella figlia di Gio. di Chalon Signore d'Arlai" is dated 9 Jul 1309[32]. A charter dated 9 Jul 1309 confirms the marriage between “Jehans de Chalon sires d’Allay…Ysabel sa fille” and “messires Loys de Savoie sires de Waut”, and also names “l’arcevesque de Besençon, frère doudit Jehan” and “la contesse de La Marche tante de ladite Ysabel”[33]. "Lodovico di Savoia Signore di Vaud" lifted the obligation of "Guglielmo di Montagny suo Nipote" relating to the dowry for "Isabella di Chalon sua Consorte" by charter dated Dec 1332[34]. The testament of "Lodovico secundo di Savoia Signore di Vaud" dated 29 Mar 1340 makes bequests "ad Isabella di Challon sua Consorte…"[35]. A charter dated 10 Mar 1352, under which "Guillermus comes Namurcensis dominus Vuaudi" issued an arbitral decision relating to a dispute between the chapter of Lausanne and "dominum Iohannem condominium Albone militem", records the intervention of "illustres dominas dominam Ysabellam de Cabilone et dominam Katerinam de Sabaudia eius filiam, conjugem nostrum dominas Waudi" in a certain aspect of the dispute[36]. "Ysabella de Scabellione domina Novicastri relicta…domini Ludovici de Sabaudia domini Vaudi" granted rights in her lands to "consanguineorum nostrorum Guilliermi de Grandissono et Ioannis dominorum Albone" by charter dated 13 Jun 1352[37]. It is unclear why Isabelle is called "domina Novicastri" in this document. Her age indicates that it is unlikely she owed the title to a second marriage to a "seigneur de Neuchâtel". Betrothed (contract 19 Dec 1303, Papal dispensation 19 Feb 1304) to HUGUES de la Tour et de Coligny Baron de Faucigny, son of HUMBERT [I] de la Tour [du Pin] Dauphin de Viennois & his wife Anne Dauphine de Viennois [Bourgogne-Capet] (before [1285]-1329). The marriage contract between “Hugues Dauphin de Vienne, baron de Faucigny” and “Isabelle fille de Jean de Chalon” is dated 19 Dec 1303[38].

Jean & his second wife had one child:

4. CATHERINE de Chalon (-[1355]). Her parentage and marriage are shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[40]. She is ignored by Père Anselme[41]. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified. Muller states that the marriage is recorded “dans un inventaire de titres”[42]. m (11 Jun 1342) as his second wife, THIBAUT [VI] Seigneur de Neuchâtel, son of THIBAUT [V] Seigneur de Neuchâtel[-en-Bourgogne] & his wife Agnes von Geroldseck (-1366, bur Lieucroissant).

Her second marriage is confirmed by the charter dated Dec 1335 under which Philippe VI King of France ratified the agreement between "Guillaume de Craon viconte de Chastiaudun" and “chevalier Olivier seigneur de Clisson, tuteur de Amauri seigneur de Craon filz jadis de Morise de Craon seigneur de Sainte-Maure, meneur d’aage” and “Jehan Hoquet procureur de...Jean de Châlon chevalier seigneur d’Arlay et Marguerite sa femme, mère du dit menour”[46].

m secondly (1361 after 3 Oct) as her first husband, MARIE de Genève, daughter of AMEDEE III Comte de Genève & his wife Mathilde de Boulogne [Auvergne] (-after 28 Aug 1396).

Her parentage and second marriage are confirmed by the testament of [her brother] "Pierre comte de Genève", dated 24 Mar 1392, which appointed [her son] “son neveu Humbert de Villars fils de Humbert sire de Villars et de feu Marie de Genève” as his heir[50].

Jean & his first wife had six children:

The late 15th century Chronicle of Peter von Andlau records Ulrich von Rappoltstein’s second marriage with “Margret hertzigen von Luterchen” by whom he was childless[60]. “Ulrich herre ze Rapoltzstein” granted property to “Margreden hertzogin geborn von Luthringen minre...frowen” by charter dated 1364[61]. This date 1364 could be consistent with the 14 Feb 1364 charter quoted in the document ALSACE being “O.S.” if the precise date was [Feb/early Apr] 1364 (O.S.). Jean & his wife had one child:

Chapter 2. SEIGNEURS de CICON

The castle of Cicon was located near Ornans, south-east of Besançon[79]. In the mid-11th century, the castle was held by Gaucher [II] Seigneur de Salins: “Galcherius Salinensis dominus” swore allegiance to the abbot of Agaune for “Bracon cum appendiciis suis...et in Cicon illud quod dicitur castrum sancti Mauritii...” by undated charter[80]. The 1268 charter cited below shows that at that date Amédée Seigneur de Montfaucon (younger brother of Thierry Comte de Montbéliard) was suzerain of Cicon: the charters dated Jun 1245 and 1248 cited below show that the change occurred around those dates, the former indicating a period of joint Salins/Montbéliard suzerainty for at least part of the fief. Jouffroy says that Jean “l’Antique” Seigneur de Salins (see the document BURGUNDY DUCHY-BEAUNE & CHALON) granted “la suzerainté de Cicon” to Amédée Seigneur de Montfaucon (see BURGUNDY KINGDOM-MONTBELIARD) in 1247 (no source citation)[81]. According to Abbé Guillaume, the castle was (at some time) a fief of the archbishop of Besançon[82], but the source which confirms that this is correct has not been identified.

There is considerable uncertainty regarding the reconstruction of the Cicon family. While primary sources have been identified which partially corroborate the outlines shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[83], inconsistencies have been noted as discussed below. Abbé Guillaume’s reconstruction of the early generations of the Cicon family is also difficult to reconcile with the sources quoted below and with Europáische Stammtafeln[84]. The result is a complete mish-mash. Hopefully what follows reflects more closely the primary source material, but cannot be considered the final answer which must await the emergence of more primary sources.

1. LAMBERT [I] de Cicon (-after 16 Oct 1108). “Lambert de Cicon” was named in a charter dated 1080 under which Guillaume Comte de Bourgogne donated property to the church of Besançon[85]. “...Lambertus de Ciconio...” witnessed the charter dated 16 Oct 1108 under which “Lambertus” confirmed the donation to Romainmotier of “terra Warini de Casseiaco et fratris eius”[86].

2. GUY de Cicon (-after 1097). A charter dated 1097 records disputes between “Widonem de castello...Sicco” and Romainmotier relating to land and serfs “in valle leonis” [Val de Joux], witnessed by “...Chono de eodem castro”[87].

3. BARTHELEMY de Cicon (-after 1148). “Bartholomeus de Cycuns” settled a dispute with Mouthier-Haute-Pierre concerning a donation which he had made during illness in Jerusalem, by undated charter dated to [1148][88].

4. GUILLAUME de Cicon (-after 1177). A charter dated 1177 records donations to Monthéron made, among others, by “domnus Yeblo de Bellomonte” witnessed by “...Willelmus de Ciccuns...”[89].

5. LAMBERT [II] de Cicon (-after 1200). “...Lambertus de Cicons...” witnessed the charter dated 5 May 1162 which confirmed the fiefs held by “Hugoi miles de sancto Gorgonio” from Saint-Gorgon[90]. “Lambert de Cicon” donated “les dîmes de Romains et Mievillers” to Charlieu, with the consent of “ses fils”, by charter dated 1182[91]. “Lambert de Cicon” settled disputes with Charlieu abbey by charter dated 1200[92]. m ---. Two or more children:

a) [two or more] sons . Their existence is confirmed by the 1182 charter cited above.

Two brothers:

1. [G]AUTHIER de Cicon (-after 1110). “Les frères Pauthier [Gauthier?] et Fromard [Fromond?] de Cicon” donated property and serfs at “Falarangibucca” [Flangebouche] to “Mouthier priory” [Romainmotier?] by charter dated 1110[93]. This charter was not found in Gingins-La Sarra’s cartulary of Romainmotier.

2. FROMOND de Cicon (-after 1110). “Les frères Pauthier [Gauthier?] et Fromard [Fromond?] de Cicon” donated property and serfs at “Falarangibucca” [Flangebouche] to “Mouthier priory” [Romainmotier?] by charter dated 1110[94]. This charter was not found in Gingins-La Sarra’s cartulary of Romainmotier.

1. --- de Cicon . The primary source which confirms the name of Julienne’s husband has not been identified. Europäische Stammtafeln says that he was Lambert [II] de Cicon (see above), Julienne being his second wife, but confusingly also says that her son Pierre was the possible son of “Jean I de Cicon Sire de Montferrand”[95]. A possible difficulty with identitying Lambert as Julienne’s husband is the absence of the name Lambert among his known descendants. A potential chronological difficulty is suggested by the marriage date of Julienne’s son Pierre, compared with the unnamed sons of Lambert already being old enough to participate in the 1182 charter cited above. m JULIENNE, daughter of --- (-after 1215). Abbé Guillaume names “Julienne d’Abbans fille d’Humbert d’Abbans second du nom, chevalier, seigneur dudit lieu, Purgerot et Augicour” as the wife of Lambert[96]. A Cicon/Abbans family connection is suggested by the 1248 charter cited under Julienne’s son Othon, cited below. “Pierre de Cicon” approved the donation of “deux meix situés à Purgerot” to Charlieu made by “Julienne sa mère” by charter dated 1215[97]. Two children (Abbé Guillaume adds “Renaud, Guy et Hugues de Cicon morts jeunes” [no source citations][98]):

a) PIERRE de Cicon "li Angres" (-1234). “Pierre de Cicon” approved the donation of “deux meix situés à Purgerot” to Charlieu made by “Julienne sa mère” by charter dated 1215[99]. “Pierre de Cicon...avec Odon son frère” donated property “à Purgerot” to Charlieu by charter dated 1231[100]. “Odon de Cicon” donated property “aux religieux de la Grace de Dieu”, for the soul of “Pierre son frère qui venoit de mourir”, by charter dated 1234[101]. m ([before 1206?]) CLEMENCE de la Roche, daughter of PONS de la Roche Seigneur de Ray & his [second wife Pontia [de Rougement/de Dramelay]] (-before 1248). Her family origin is confirmed by the second charter dated 1248 quoted below. Presumably Clémence married around the same time as her sister Sibylle, who is named with her husband in 1206. “Guillaume de Cicon” founded the anniversary of “sa mère...Clémence” at Bellevaux, ratified by Thibaut his brother, by charter dated 1248[102]. “Thibaut de Cicon...avec Guillaume son frère aîné” confirmed donations made by “Thibaud de la Roche son oncle” to La Charité by charter dated 1248[103]. Pierre & his wife had three children:

i) GUILLAUME de Cicon (-after 1248). “Guillaume de Cicon” founded the anniversary of “sa mère...Clémence” at Bellevaux, ratified by Thibaut his brother, by charter dated 1248[104]. “Thibaut de Cicon...avec Guillaume son frère aîné” confirmed donations made by “Thibaud de la Roche son oncle” to La Charité by charter dated 1248[105]. same person as...? GUILLAUME de Cicon (-after 1246). Europäische Stammtafeln indicates this co-identity[106]. The primary source which confirms this information has not been identified. According to Abbé Guillaume, the husband of Elisabeth d’Auxelles was the son of Guillaume’s younger brother Thibaut[107], although this appears to be less consistent with the general chronology of the Cicon family. Seigneur de Cicon. m ELISABETH d’Auxelles, daughter of RICHARD Seigneur d’Auxelles & his wife --- (-after 1246). "Domina Elisabeth uxor domini Vuillelmi de Cycons" donated property to Bellevaux abbey, with the consent of "domini Richardi de Aucella patris sui et Richardi minoris filii sui", by charter dated 1246[108]. Guillaume & his wife had one child:

(1) RICHARD de Cicon . "Domina Elisabeth uxor domini Vuillelmi de Cycons" donated property to Bellevaux abbey, with the consent of "domini Richardi de Aucella patris sui et Richardi minoris filii sui", by charter dated 1246[109].

ii) THIBAUT de Cicon (-1251, bur Bellevaux). “Guillaume de Cicon” founded the anniversary of “sa mère...Clémence” at Bellevaux, ratified by Thibaut his brother, by charter dated 1248[110].

- see below.

iii) ETIENNETTE de Cicon (-after 18 May 1230). “Thiébaud de Cicon chevalier” donated “une part du four de Charmont” to “Etiennette sa sœur en augmentation de dot” by charter dated 18 May 1230[111]. The following document confirms her marriage: “Gui chantre de Sainte-Madeleine, Gérard Maltalanz et Etiennette sa femme” bought “un sixième du four de Charmont” by charter dated Apr 1236[112]. m ([May 1230/Apr 1236]) GERARD Maltalanz, son of ---.

b) OTHON de Cicon (-after 1234). “Pierre de Cicon...avec Odon son frère” donated property “à Purgerot” to Charlieu by charter dated 1231[113]. “Odon de Cicon” donated property “aux religieux de la Grace de Dieu”, for the soul of “Pierre son frère qui venoit de mourir”, by charter dated 1234[114]. Abbé Guillaume adds a reference to Othon swearing allegiance to Amédée Seigneur de Montfaucon in 1248[115], but this could refer to Othon son of Amaury who is named below. .

1. AMAURY de Cicon (-before Jun 1245). He is named as father of Renaud and Othon in the Jun 1245 charter cited below. No source has been found which names him in his own capacity. He presumably died before Jun 1245, maybe not long before, hence his sons’ homage. m ---. The name of Amaury’s wife is not known. Amaury & his wife had two children:

a) RENAUD de Cicon (-[Jun 1245/1254]). “Renaz chevalier de Cicons et...Othes ses freres, filz de Monseignour Emaurry, chevalier” swore homage to “Monseignour Jehan Comte de Bourgoigne et Seignour de Salins” for their property “dans les bans de Cicons et en la Tour...sauve la feaulté au Seignour de Jour”, and (in the case of “Othes sauve la feaulté Monsi Richard de Montbeliard”, by charter dated Jun 1245[116]. Renaud presumably died before 1254 when his son Henri swore homage as noted below. m ---. The name of Renaud’s wife is not known. Renaud & his wife had one child:

i) HENRI de Cicon (-after 1254). “Henri de Cicon...fils de Renault” acknowledged holding land in fief from Amédée Seigneur de Montfaucon by charter dated 1254[117].

b) OTHON de Cicon (-after Jun 1245, maybe after 1248). “Renaz chevalier de Cicons et...Othes ses freres, filz de Monseignour Emaurry, chevalier” swore homage to “Monseignour Jehan Comte de Bourgoigne et Seignour de Salins” for their property “dans les bans de Cicons et en la Tour...sauve la feaulté au Seignour de Jour”, and (in the case of “Othes sauve la feaulté Monsi Richard de Montbeliard”, by charter dated Jun 1245[118]. “Huedes li Sale chevalier de Cicon” swore homage to “Amé de Montfaucon” for “les fiefs situés à Cicon et au val de Cicon”, before “Philippe sire d’Abbens, abbé de la Grâce-Dieu”, by charter dated 1248[119]. Abbé Guillaume indicates that this charter refers to Othon brother of Pierre de Cicon (see above)[120], but the Jun 1245 charter recording his earlier allegiance to the Montbéliard/Montfaucon family suggests that the 1248 document may refer to Othon son of Amaury. .

THIBAUT de Cicon, son of PIERRE de Cicon “li Angres” & his wife Clémence de la Roche (-1251, bur Bellevaux). “Guillaume de Cicon” founded the anniversary of “sa mère...Clémence” at Bellevaux, ratified by Thibaut his brother, by charter dated 1248[121]. “Thibaut de Cicon...avec Guillaume son frère aîné” confirmed donations made by “Thibaud de la Roche son oncle” to La Charité by charter dated 1248[122]. Abbé Guillaume states that Thibaut died in 1251 and was buried at Bellevaux abbey[123].

m HELVIS [Alix] [de Nant], daughter of --- (-after 1274, bur Bellevaux). Abbé Guillaume records her marriage and family origin (“Helvis de Nant”), indicating that in her testament dated after 1274 she chose burial with her husband and named as her heirs “Pierre et Jean ses fils, Odon et Jean enfans de feu Guillaume de Cicon son fils aîné”[124]. Europäische Stammtafeln names her “Helvis de Cicon, T. von Renaud”, noting that Renaud was the son of “Lambert [II] de Cicon” and his wife “Julienne”[125], one of Julienne’s sons whom Abbé Guillaume says died young (see above). Jouffroy also names “Alix”, sister of Henri (son of Renaud, see above), as the wife of Thibaut[126]. The primary source which confirms the family origin of Helvis/Alix has not been found. Until more information comes to light, she is shown here as “[de Nant]” which is consistent with that territory passing to her oldest grandsons (see below). Some secondary sources show Thibaut marrying twice, his first wife Alix being the mother of his son Guillaume. The following extract, read together with her testament noted above, suggests that this is incorrect: “Vuillemin de Cicon...et Alix sa mère” acknowledged holding their property “à Cicon...” from “Amé de Montfaucon” by charter dated 1268[127]. However, it is unclear whether this extract refers to a different document from the 24 May 1268 quoted below, the original of which names “Helvys” as Guillaume’s mother. Nevertheless, it would not be surprising if “Alix” represented a creative interpretation of Helvis and that “Alix” and “Helvis” were the same person.

Thibaut & his wife had three children:

1. GUILLAUME de Cicon (-before 1274). “Vuillemin de Cicon...et Alix sa mère” acknowledged holding their property “à Cicon (bourg) Arçon, Athoze, Aubonne, Nods, Chasnaus, Valdahon, Avoudrey, au val de Sancey et dès la rivière de Louhe jusqu’à Neufchâtel en Varax” from “Amé de Montfaucon” by charter dated 1268[128]. Abbé Guillaume says that “Guillaume de Cicon” pledged/committed/enfeoffed (“engagea”) “son partage de Cicon” to “Amey de Montbéliard Seigneur de Montfaucon”, with the consent of his brother “Jean de Cicon chevalier Seigneur dudit lieu en partie”, by charter dated 1268[129], which presumably refers to a connected document. A charter dated 24 May 1268 records that “Willemins dit de Nant escuyers fils çai en arriers moss. Thiebaut de Cicons, chevalier” received “quant que il et dame Helvys sa mere hont...à Chasnans, à Nox, à Valdaons, an Rotenghaut, à Avoudrey, à Arcons, à Oans, à Abbone, à Athose, et quant il hont ou val de sansey...et...dès la riviere de Loue, tant que ou Nuefchastel en Varest, qui fu monseignour Thiebaut” in fief from “noble baron Amey de Montbneliart seignour de Monfaucon”, requested by “lad. Helvys”[130]. He predeceased his mother as shown by her testament, dated to after 1274, which named as her heirs “Pierre et Jean ses fils, Odon et Jean enfans de feu Guillaume de Cicon son fils aîné”[131]. Guillaume presumably died before 1274, the date of the charter cited below which names his brothers Pierre and Jean. m ---. The primary source which names Guillaume’s wife has not been identified. Abbé Guillaume says that she was “Elizabeth d’Ancelle” and adds that their two sons “prirent le nom de Nant [presumably inherited from their paternal grandmother] qu’ils transmirent à leurs descendants”[132]. As noted above, Europäische Stammtafeln names Elisabeth d’Auxelles as wife of the other Guillaume de Cicon who is named above[133], which appears more consistent with the general chronology of the Cicon family and with her 1246 charter quoted above. Guillaume & his wife had two children:

a) OTHON de Cicon [de Nant] (-after 1274). The testament of his grandmother, dated after 1274, named as her heirs “...Odon et Jean enfans de feu Guillaume de Cicon son fils aîné”[134].

b) JEAN de Cicon [de Nant] (-after 1274). The testament of his grandmother, dated after 1274, named as her heirs “...Odon et Jean enfans de feu Guillaume de Cicon son fils aîné”[135].

- SEIGNEURS de NANT[136].

2. PIERRE de Cicon (-after 1300). Pierre is not named in connection with the 1268 loan arrangement cited above under his brother Guillaume, but the 1300 charter cited below suggests that he must have consented. Abbé Guillaume says that “Pierre de Cicon chevalier...avec Jean de Cicon son frere” sold his possessions “sur les territoires de Tise et d’Aresche” to “Laure de Commercy, veuve de Jean Comte de Bourgogne” by charter dated 1274[137]. The testament of his mother, dated after 1274, named as her heirs “Pierre et Jean ses fils, Odon et Jean enfans de feu Guillaume de Cicon son fils aîné”[138]. Abbé Guillaume says that Helvis, widow of Pierre’s brother Jean, wrote in 1300 to “Vautier Seigneur de Montfaucon” asking him to return to “Pierre de Cicon son beau-frere, ce qu’il tenoit en gage de Willemin de Cicon” which “il ne vouloit pas se désaisir sans son agrément” by charter dated 1300[139]. Abbé Guillaume’s language is difficult to interpret with certainty but it confirms that Pierre was living at the time. The identity of “Willemin de Cicon” is difficult to ascertain: it could refer to Pierre’s deceased brother or to Pierre’s son, although in the latter case it is unclear why Guillaume’s older brother Othon/Odet would not have been named in his place. A copy of the original document, which could clarify these uncertainties, has not been found. m ---. The primary source which names Pierre’s wife has not been identified. Europäische Stammtafeln names her “Isabelle de Grange”[140], which has not been verified. No reference to Isabelle has been recorded in the document BURGUNDY KINGDOM-NEUCHÂTEL, VAUD, VALAIS, GRUYERE (Granges family). Moréri names “Isabelle et Catherine de Granges, nommées dans le testament de leur père [1287]” as daughters of Thibaut [I] Seigneur de Granges, with no indication about their possible husbands[141]. Pierre & his wife had three children:

a) ODET de Cicon (-1333, bur Bellevaux). Abbé Guillaume says that Pierre was father of “Odette, Thibaud et Willemin de Cicon” but provides no further details[142]. Europäische Stammtafeln names Pierre’s sons “Odet 1290 †1333 bur Bellevaux, Thibaut 1290/93, Vuillemin 1290/93”[143]. The references to 1290 and 1293 suggest that the information is corroborated by charters but the documents in question have not been found.

b) THIBAUT de Cicon (-after 1293). Abbé Guillaume says that Pierre was father of “Odette, Thibaud et Willemin de Cicon” but provides no further details[144]. Europäische Stammtafeln names Pierre’s sons “Odet 1290 †1333 bur Bellevaux, Thibaut 1290/93, Vuillemin 1290/93”[145]. The references to 1290 and 1293 suggest that the information is corroborated by charters but the documents in question have not been found.

c) GUILLAUME de Cicon (-after 1293). Abbé Guillaume says that Pierre was father of “Odette, Thibaud et Willemin de Cicon” but provides no further details[146]. Europäische Stammtafeln names Pierre’s sons “Odet 1290 †1333 bur Bellevaux, Thibaut 1290/93, Vuillemin 1290/93”[147]. The references to 1290 and 1293 suggest that the information is corroborated by charters but the documents in question have not been found.

3. JEAN de Cicon (-before 1298). Abbé Guillaume says that “Guillaume de Cicon” pledged “son partage de Cicon” to “Amey de Montbéliard Seigneur de Montfaucon”, with the consent of his brother “Jean de Cicon chevalier Seigneur dudit lieu en partie”, by charter dated 1268[148]. Abbé Guillaume says that “Pierre de Cicon chevalier...avec Jean de Cicon son frere” sold his possessions “sur les territoires de Tise et d’Aresche” to “Laure de Commercy, veuve de Jean Comte de Bourgogne” by charter dated 1274[149]. The testament of his mother, dated after 1274, named as her heirs “Pierre et Jean ses fils, Odon et Jean enfans de feu Guillaume de Cicon son fils aîné”[150]. He died before 1298 when his wife was named a widow (see below). m HELVIS de Montbis, daughter of --- (-after 1300). Abbé Guillaume records her family origin and marriage, noting that in 1298 “étant veuve” swore homage to “Vautier Seigneur de Montfaucon” for “la Maison forte de Cicon”[151]. Abbé Guillaume says that she wrote in 1300 to “Vautier Seigneur de Montfaucon” asking him to return to “Pierre de Cicon son beau-frere, ce qu’il tenoit en gage de Willemin de Cicon” which “il ne vouloit pas se désaisir sans son agrément” by charter dated 1300[152]. This document presumably relates to the 1268 loan arrangement cited above under her husband’s brother Guillaume. Helvis’s involvement in this charter suggests that her children may still have been minors at the time. Jean & his wife had two children:

a) NICOLAS [Kalet] de Cicon (-1314 or after). Europäische Stammtafeln names “Kalet” and “Henri” as sons of Jean de Cicon/Helvis de Monbis[153]. Abbé Guillaume records that the testament of “Qualet ou Colet de Cicon chanoine et souchantre de l’église de Besançon”, dated 1314, named “Henry son frère chevalier” as his heir and “Jean de Ray Archidiacre de Salins et Jean de Cicon chanoine de Besançon, ses parents” as executors[154].

b) HENRI de Cicon (-after 1314). Europäische Stammtafeln names “Kalet” and “Henri” as sons of Jean de Cicon/Helvis de Monbis[155]. Abbé Guillaume records that the testament of “Qualet ou Colet de Cicon chanoine et souchantre de l’église de Besançon”, dated 1314, named “Henry son frère chevalier” as his heir and “Jean de Ray Archidiacre de Salins et Jean de Cicon chanoine de Besançon, ses parents” as executors[156].

Courcelles says that Etienne Comte d’Auxonne married “Blandine de Cicon” after learning of his consanguinity with his first wife Beatrix de Chalon before that first marriage was annulled, the nullity of both marriages being declared subsequently[157]. He does not cite the source on which this information is based. Blandine’s relationship with the Cicon family is confirmed by the Nov 1208 charter quoted below, but the primary source which confirms the precise connection has not been identified. Europäische Stammtafeln shows her as the daughter of “Barthélemy de Cicon auf dem 2. Kreuzzug 1147/55” (see above) and brother of “Humbert 1179” canon of Besançon Saint-Paul[158] but, considering the inaccuracies in ES noted in this section, it is suggested that this information be treated with caution until more primary source material emerges. Dunod says that Blandine was the daughter of “Guillaume de Cicon premier du nom”[159], but his reconstruction of the early generations of the Cicon family is also inconsistent with primary sources quoted in this section so should probably not be considered authoritative.

1. BLANDINE de Cicon (-after Nov 1208). “Stephanus comes Burgundiæ” granted property “apud Sistum et Fresne Sancti Mammeris et Torreres et Novamvillam” to “Stephano filio meo de Blandina de Cicons” and “Blandina mater eiusdem Stephani...quamdiu vivet”, provided that she would retain only half “si...capere maritum voluerit”, with the consent of “Iohannes filius meus”, by charter dated Nov 1208[160]. [m] (bigamously [1196/98]) as his second [wife], ETIENNE [III] Comte d’Auxonne, son of ETIENNE [II] Comte d'Auxonne [Bourgogne-Comté] & his wife Judith de Lorraine (before Oct 1172-Marnay 16 Mar 1241).

Two brothers, the primary source which confirms their parentage has not been identified. According to Europäische Stammtafeln, they were sons of “Jean I de Cicon Sire de Montferrand”[161]. As the same table says that he was the possible father of Pierre de Cicon, which as noted above is inconsistent with other sources as noted above, it is suggested that ES should be treated with caution until more primary source material emerges.

1. JACQUES de Cicon (-before 1215). Seigneur de Châtillon-Guyotte. Lord of Karystos in Eubœa. m SIBYLLE de la Roche, daughter of PONS de la Roche Seigneur de Ray & his [second wife Pontia [de Rougement/de Dramelay]]. Abbé Guillaume records that Sibylle de la Roche Dame de Flagey donated property to Bellevaux abbey, requesting “Etienne de Cicon son beau-frère Prieur de Saint Paul” to ensure its peaceful enjoyment, by charter dated 1206[162]. Her parentage is also indicated by the charter dated 1235 under which [her son] Pons de Cicon agreed with Othon de la Roche Seigneur de Ray concerning “la succession d’Humbert et de Thibaud de la Roche ses oncles, morts sans postérité”[163]. Jacques & his wife had two children:

a) OTHON de Cicon (-after 1278). He gave refuge to Baudouin II Emperor of Constantinople after the latter fled Constantinople, to whom he lent 5,000 Byzantine hyperperes receiving in exchange an arm of St John the Baptist[164]. Titular Triarch of Eubœa (northern part).

- TRIARCHS of EUBŒA.

b) PONS de Cicon (-1249). Abbé Guillaume records that Pons de Cicon agreed with Othon de la Roche Seigneur de Ray concerning “la succession d’Humbert et de Thibaud de la Roche ses oncles, morts sans postérité” by charter dated 1235[165]. Seigneur de Châtillon-Guyotte: Abbé Guillaume records that “Ponce de Cicon chevalier” was named “Seigneur de Châtillon-Guyotte” in a charter of Bellevaux abbey dated 1248[166]. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Pons’s wife has not been identified. Pons & his wife had one child:

i) ETIENNE de Châtillon-Guyotte (-26 Jul 1269, bur Besançon Saint-Paul). An epitaph at Besançon Saint-Paul records the burial of “Stephanus domicellus filius domini Pontii de Castellione” who died 26 Jul 1269[167]. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Etienne’s wife has not been identified. Etienne & his wife had one child:

(a) HUGUES de Châtillon-Guyotte (-26 Aug 1314, bur Besançon Saint-Paul). Seigneur de Châtillon-Guyotte. An epitaph at Besançon Saint-Paul records the burial of “Hugo miles dominus de Castellione” who died 26 Aug 1314[168].

- SEIGNEURS de CHÂTILLON-GUYOTTE[169].

2. ETIENNE de Cicon (-after 1206). Prior of Saint-Paul: Abbé Guillaume records that Sibylle de la Roche Dame de Flagey donated property to Bellevaux abbey, requesting “Etienne de Cicon son beau-frère Prieur de Saint Paul” to ensure its peaceful enjoyment, by charter dated 1206[170].

The relationships between the following persons and the Cicon family shown above has not been established.

1. GUILLAUME de Cicon (-after 24 Sep 1218). “Wulelmum de Cicum militem de Gumuens” is named in a charter dated 24 Sep 1218[171].

2. AMAURY de Cicon . He is named in Jun 1245 charter of his sons quoted below. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Amaury’s wife has not been identified. Amaury & his wife had two children:

a) RENAUD de Cicon . “Renaz chevaliers de Cicons et...Othes ses freres, filz monseignour Emaurry chevalier” swore homage to “monseignour Jehan comte de Bourgoigne et seignour de Salins”, with the exception of their responsibility to “monsi Richard de Montbeliard”, by charter dated Jun 1245[172].

b) OTHON de Cicon . “Renaz chevaliers de Cicons et...Othes ses freres, filz monseignour Emaurry chevalier” swore homage to “monseignour Jehan comte de Bourgoigne et seignour de Salins”, with the exception of their responsibility to “monsi Richard de Montbeliard”, by charter dated Jun 1245[173].

3. ETIENNE de Cicon (-Jan 1269). Abbot of Besançon Saint-Paul. An epitaph at Besançon Saint-Paul records the burial of “Stephanus de Cicons primus abbas hujus ecclesie” who died Jan 1268 [presumably O.S.][174].

4. HUGUES de Cicon (-[12 Nov 1275/1285]). A charter dated 12 Nov 1275 records “Johannes de Gumuens domicellus” holding fiefs from the bishop of Lausanne except “feudis Hugonis de Cicuns et Jacobus de Corsales domicellorum”[175]. m ---. The primary source which confirms the identity of Hugues’s wife has not been identified. Hugues & his wife had one child:

a) BARTHELEMY de Cicon [de Gumoëns] (-after 1285). “Bartholomeus de Gumoens, filius quondam Hugonis de Cicon, domicellus” sold a fief held by “Jacobus Grillart de Claniens” to “Galtero Montisfalconis domino de Orba” by charter dated 1285[176].

5. GUILLAUME de Cicon (-before 1 Jun 1311]). A document dated 13 Nov 1276 records “Willelmi Cykun”, recently arrived from overseas, with a message from Othon de Grandson for King Edward I[177]. A brother (uterine brother from a different marriage of their mother?) of Guillaume de Cicon is indicated in the followiing document: King Edward I knighted “Domino Stephano de Rouenyhoun [name not identified] germano domini Willelmi Sicoun...quem Rex fecit militem” in 1284[178]. Constable of Rhuddlan castle, North Wales Feb [1281/82] to May 1284[179]. Constable of Conway castle: Morris records that in Sep 1284 “William Sikun (Chicoun or Cygoine)...already constable of Conway...knight of the household” was reappointed as such, specifying his salary, and that in 1293 “Will Sikun” was still constable of Conway[180]. His appointment is confirmed by a letter dated [early] Aug [dated to 1284? by Kingsford] from “le sien Guillame de Grançon [son of Pierre [I] Seigneur de Grandson, the future Lord Grandson]” addressed to an unidentified person in authority (to “son tres chier e tres ame seignur”, later in the letter named “sire”), noting that “comme monseignur mon frere [=presumably Othon de Grandson?] me ait mandez par sa lettre, qe ie face allouer a mons. Guillame de Cykoun...en chastel d’Aberkoneway, e en garder les prisons”, notifying the addressee that he had made the appointment (“vous faz ie assavoir qe ie ai vehai ses roulles…au prou nostre seignur le Rois” and adding that the writer’s brother requested the addressee to treat the appointee as one of ‘ours’ [i.e. their supporters] (“E sachiez sire qe ie vous en pri si ateignament, pour ce qe mon seignur mon frere a ce qe ie enteng vous en pri, e pour ce qe le chevalier [presumably referring to Guillaume de Cicon] est des noz”[181]. Morris records that 1 Sep 1295 “John de Havering and William Sikun were commissioned to investigate the alleged wrongs which had been endured in North Wales at the hands of English officials since the annexation”[182]. Taylor records his death “1310/11” (no source cited)[183]. He died before the 1 Jun 1311 order cited below under his son. m ---. No source has been found which names Guillaume’s wife. Guillaume & his wife had one child:

a) JEAN de Cicon . An order dated 1 Jun 1311 records a “Grant, for life, to John de Cycons son of William de Cycons, in consideration of his father’s good service to the late king...[of an annual pension] to be received by him at the Exchequer of Karnarvan”[184].

[Six] brothers, parentage unconfirmed. According to Europäische Stammtafeln, they were sons of “Geoffroy de Cicon” whose parentage ES does not show[185]. No other source has been found which names Geoffroy. Abbé Guillaume names “Henry...Seigneur de Cicon...Guy Seigneur de Roches...Fromond...Jean” as sons of Jean de Cicon and his wife Helvis de Monbis (see above)[186]. In addition to those shown below, Abbé Guillaume also names “Qualet ou Colet de Cicon” as another son of Jean de Cicon and his wife, noting that his 1314 testament named “Henry son frère chevalier” as his heir and “Jean de Ray Archidiacre de Salins et Jean de Cicon chanoine de Besançon, ses parents” as his executors[187]. Europäische Stammtafeln names “Kalet” and “Henri” as the only sons of Jean de Cicon/Helvis de Monbis[188]. Considering the uncertainty regarding the name of the oldest brother shown below, it seems likely that Europäische Stammtafeln is correct in respect of “Kalet” and “Henri” (as indicated above), but that the two were not brothers of the other [six] brothers named below. The suggestion appears supported by the 1314 testament naming Jean de Cicon canon at Besançon (one of the brothers shown below) and the other executor as “parents” of the testator. The process by which Hugues de Cicon, shown below, succeeded as seigneur de Cicon has not been ascertained, nor whether he was the sole or joint holder of the seigneurie. One possibility is that the [six] brothers were descendants of Othon, younger brother of Pierre de Cicon “li Angres” (see above), who could have inherited Cicon after the extinction of Pierre’s male line descendants. A connection between the [six] brothers and La Roche (which La Roche has not been ascertained) is indicated by the second brother Guy being named “seigneur de la Roche”: maybe he inherited the fief from his mother. It should be noted that two “la Roche” sisters married into the Cicon family as shown above.

1. --- de Cicon (-before 25 Sep 1316). No primary source has been found which names the oldest of these [six] brothers. Abbé Guillaume names him “Henry de Cicon”, adding that he “étoit mort avant l’an 1317”[189]. As noted below, Robert names his son Hugues as son of “Jean de Cicon” and Guy of son of “Hugues de Cicon”. Europäische Stammtafeln does not name him at all and shows no dating[190], which considering the contradictory secondary sources seems to be the best solution until more primary source documentation emerges. This person presumably died before 25 Sep 1316, the date of the testament quoted below which names his son Hugues as an executor. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of the wife of this person has not been identified. Abbé Guillaume says that “il paraît qu’il s’étoit allié avec Marie de Ray, Dame d’Argillieres”[191]. Two children:

a) HUGUES de Cicon ([before 1290?]-[25 Feb/5 Dec] 1339). His family connection is indicated by the testaments quoted below. Robert records Hugues as son of “Jean de Cicon et de Marie de Ray”[192]. His birth date is estimated on the assumption that he was adult when named in the 25 Sep 1316 testament. Seigneur de Cicon. The testament of “Guis de Cicons sires de Roiches chevaliers”, dated 25 Sep 1316, named as executors “...mon...nevour mon seigneur Huguenin seignour de Cicons et mon...nevour mon signour Guy de Cicons chenoinne de Sain Pol”[193]. The testament of “Johannes de Cicons canonicus Bisuntinus”, dated 25 Feb 1338 (O.S./N.S.?), appointed “consanguineum et nepotem meum dominum Hugonem de Cycons militem” as his universal heir[194]. m BEATRIX de Chevigney, daughter of --- (-[5 Dec 1339/14 Jan 1340]). Robert records that, according to Rousset, Béatrix was daughter of “Perrenet seigneur de Chevigney”, and, according to Dom Villevieille, daughter of “David de Gevigney”[195]. The testament of “Beatrix de Chevigney prope Auxonam domicella relicta Hugonis de Cycons domicelli”, dated 5 Dec 1339 published “sabbato post Hylarium” 1339, chose burial “in ecclesia de Chevigney prope Auxonam juxta tumuum Hugonis de Cycons quondam mariti mei”, bequeathed property to “Beatrici nepti mee filie dicti Guaveym fratris mei...Beatrici nepti mee filie Odeti de Bucey...Otheninus filius meus...”, appointed “Guidonem, Johannem et dictum Guaveym liberos meos” as her universal heirs, and named “dictum Guaveym fratrem meum, Perrenetum de Verranges nepotem meum et Hugonem de Bosco domicellos” as her executors[196]. Hugues & his wife had four children [Abbé Guillaume[197] and Europäische Stammtafeln[198] show different reconstructions of the descendants of these children, neither version of which has been copied into the present document):

i) GUY de Cicon . The testament of “Beatrix de Chevigney prope Auxonam domicella relicta Hugonis de Cycons domicelli”, dated 5 Dec 1339, appointed “Guidonem, Johannem et dictum Guaveym liberos meos” as her universal heirs[199].

iii) GAVIN de Cicon . The testament of “Beatrix de Chevigney prope Auxonam domicella relicta Hugonis de Cycons domicelli”, dated 5 Dec 1339, appointed “Guidonem, Johannem et dictum Guaveym liberos meos” as her universal heirs[201].

iv) OTHON de Cicon . The testament of “Beatrix de Chevigney prope Auxonam domicella relicta Hugonis de Cycons domicelli”, dated 5 Dec 1339, bequeathed property to “...Otheninus filius meus...”[202].

b) GUY de Cicon (-after 25 Feb 1339). Robert records Guy as son of “Hugues de Cicon et de Marie de Ray”[203]. Canon at Besançon Saint-Paul. The testament of “Guis de Cicons sires de Roiches chevaliers”, dated 25 Sep 1316, named as executors “...mon...nevour mon seigneur Huguenin seignour de Cicons et mon...nevour mon signour Guy de Cicons chenoinne de Sain Pol”[204].

The primary source which confirms the name of Guy’s wife has not been identified. Guy & his wife had three children:

a) YOLANDE de Cicon . The testament of “Guis de Cicons sires de Roiches chevaliers”, dated 25 Sep 1316, appointed as her heirs “mes trois filles...Yolanz, dame Bieatrix et Ysaber...mon...nevour Jaquat de Pierrefonteinne”[207].

JACQUES de Cicon (-after 19 Aug 1324, bur Grâce-Dieu). Robert suggests this co-identity[211]. Jacques de Cicon requested “Jean de Montfaucon” for permission to donate “la grange de Rentessert...” to Grâce-Dieu and donated the property by charter dated 19 Aug 1324[212]. Richard records his testament under which he requested burial at Grâce-Dieu, which his says was incorrectly dated to 3 Sep or Dec 1349 by “quelques écrivains” [unspecified][213].]

4. JEAN de Cicon (-[13 Apr 1339/3 Mar 1340], bur Besançon Saint-Etienne). Canon at Besançon. Abbé Guillaume records that the testament of “Qualet ou Colet de Cicon chanoine et souchantre de l’église de Besançon”, dated 1314, named “Jean de Ray Archidiacre de Salins et Jean de Cicon chanoine de Besançon, ses parents” as his executors[214]. The testament of “Guis de Cicons sires de Roiches chevaliers”, dated 25 Sep 1316, named as executors “mes...freres mes sires Jehans de Cycons chenoinnes de Besançon...mon signour Fromont priour de Balefonteinne et mon...nevour mon seigneur Huguenin seignour de Cicons et mon...nevour mon signour Guy de Cicons chenoinne de Sain Pol”[215].

Europäische Stammtafeln records Agnes as daughter of Guy de Cusance and his wife, her marriage with Jean de Scey, the date “1318”, and her supposed second marriage with Huard de Bauffremont Seigneur de Scey-sur-Saône[266]. This information has not been verified, but this second marriage would be chronologically impossible if Agnes was Guy’s daughter. Dunod indicates that Huard’s wife was Agnes, daughter of Jean de Cusance & his wife Isabelle de Belvoir (see below)[267]. m JEAN de Scey Seigneur de Scey et du Larderet, son of RADAT [Raald] de Scey & his wife Jeanne [de Scey-Montbéliard] Dame de Fertans (-Dec 1305).

THIBAUT de Cusance, son of GUY Seigneur de Cusance & his wife Marguerite de Neuchâtel ). Seigneur de Cusance. The 1308 testament of [his maternal cousin] Erard de Neuchâtel bequeathed property to “Thiebault de Cusance nos...cousin” for “plusours missions que ma tante dame Margueritte dame de Cusance”[268].

m ETIENNETTE d’Oiselay Dame de Flagey, daughter of JEAN d’Oiselay Seigneur de Flagey & his wife Hedwige de Bauffremont. Europäische Stammtafeln records her parentage and marriage[269]. This information has not been verified.

Thibaut & his wife had two children:

1. JEAN de Cusance (-6 May 1368, bur Cusance). Seigneur de Cusance. Bailli d’Amont 1357. Bailli général 1360. A tomb at Cusance priory records the burial of “messire Jean de Cusance, chevalier” who died 6 May 1368[270]. m ISABELLE de Belvoir, daughter of THIBAUT [II] Seigneur de Belvoir & his first wife Jeanne de Montfaucon (-2 Jan 1347, bur Cusance). Duchesne records her parentage and marriage (no sources cited)[271]. A tomb at Cusance priory records the burial of “Dame Ysabel de Belvor Dame de Cusance” who died 1 Jan 1346 (O.S.)[272]. Jean & his wife had two children:

a) GAUTHIER de Cusance (-3 Mar 1385, bur Cusance). Duchesne records his parentage, noting that he succeeded his maternal uncle as Seigneur de Belvoir et de Saint-Julien (no sources cited)[273]. Seigneur de Cusance. “Vauthier de Cusance et Catherine de Neuchâtel sa femme” gave revenue to “Renaud d’Andelot seigneur de Cressia” by charter dated 1374[274]. A tomb at Cusance priory records the burial of “Vauthier de Cusance, chevalier” who died 3 Mar 1384 (O.S.)[275]. m (before Jan 1366) CATHERINE de Neuchâtel, daughter of THIEBAUT [VI] Seigneur de Neuchâtel & his [first/second wife Jeanne de Chalon/Catherine de Chalon] (-8 Apr 1379, bur Cusance). The date of her marriage suggests that Catherine was born from her father’s second marriage. A charter dated end Jan 1366 (N.S.) records that “Katherine de Nuefchastel fille monseignour Thiebaut jadiz seignour de Nuefchastel et femme de...Wauthier de Cusance seignour de Saint Julien” received dowry from “chevalier...Thiebaut seignour de Nuefchastel son frere”[276]. “Vauthier de Cusance et Catherine de Neuchâtel sa femme” gave revenue to “Renaud d’Andelot seigneur de Cressia” by charter dated 1374[277]. A tomb at Cusance priory records the burial of “Catherine de Neufchastel, dame de Cusance” who died 8 Apr 1379[278]. Gauthier & his wife had one child:

i) JEAN de Cusance (-1455). Seigneur de Cusance. Jean de Cusance swore homage to his “oncle monseigneur Thiebaud seigneur de Nuefchastel” by charter dated Mar 1391 (N.S.)[279].

- see below.

b) [AGNES de Cusance ). Europäische Stammtafeln says that Huard de Bauffremont married firstly “Agnès (de Cusance) 1318 T v (Guy Sire de Cusance u Marguerite de Neufchâtel)”, and in another table names her first husband Jean de Scey[280]. This information has not been verified, but it would be chronologically impossible for Huard’s wife to have been Guy’s daughter and Jean de Scey’s widow (see above). Dunod records Huard’s first wife as Agnes, daughter of Jean de Cusance & his wife Isabelle de Belvoir[281], a suggestion which appears more sensible from a chronological point of view, although the primary source which confirms that it is correct has not been identified. The basis for the date “1318” has not been found, although it much too early considering the chronology of the Bauffremont family. Europäische Stammtafeln reverses the order of Huard’s first and second marriages (presumably confused by the “1318” date for his marriage to Agnès)[282], which is inconsistent with the dates associated with his children (especially the marriage dates of his sons Gauthier and Henri). m as his second wife, HUARD de Bauffremont Seigneur de Scey-sur-Saône, son of GAUTHIER Seigneur de Bauffremont & his wife Marguerite [de Choiseul] (-1380).]

3. --- de Cusance . The name of the father of the following five children has not been found.

Chapter 5. SEIGNEURS de FAUCOGNEY, VICOMTES de VESOUL

Faucogney (now called Faucogney-et-la-Mer) is located about 15 kilometres north of Lure, in the arrondissement of Lure, in the present-day French département of Haute-Saône. Vesoul is located about 20 kilometres due west of Lure and 40 kilometres north of Besançon. The earliest reference to a vicomte of the castle of Vesoul dates to 1019 (see below). This also represents the earliest reference to any vicomte in the county of Burgundy, references to vicomtes de Besançon only appearing in primary sources for the first time about 50 years later[371]. The Faucogney/Vesoul family was studied in the late 19th century by Jules Finot[372]. His family reconstruction is far from satisfactory, inadequately reflecting the primary sources in which family members are named. In particular, Finot appears to have been unaware of the sources which confirm that Faucogney and Vesoul were transmitted to the Rougemont family in the early 13th century.

1. GISELBERT [I] (-after 28 Oct 1019). Vicomte de Vesoul. “...Gislebertus vicecomes Vesuli Castri...” witnessed the charter dated 28 Oct 1019 under which “comes Octo cognomento Vuillelmus” donated property “mihi secundum parentum successionem...infra alpes Pinninarum et flumen Padum et flumen Duriæ Bauticæ quod iuxta urbem Euoreiam” to Fruttuaria monastery[373].

2. [--- . [Vicomte de Vesoul.] The time gap between 1019 and 1092, when Giselbert [I] and Gislebert [II] are named as vicomtes de Vesoul, suggests an intervening generation.]

3. GISELBERT [II] (-after 1092). Vicomte de Vesoul. Abbé Guillaume states that “Gislebert Sire de Faucogney et Vicomte de Vesoul” founded the priory of Marteroy-les-Vesoul by charter dated 1092, but does not cite the corresponding source[374]. Finot specifies that the source in question is a note in the archives of the chapter of Vesoul, referring to a prior document which no longer exists, which records the consecration of the church of Marteroy in 1092 in the presence of “Raimundi [error for Rainaudi?, indicating Renaud II Comte de Bourgogne] consulis atque Gilleberti vice-comitis”[375]. As can be seen this document does not specify either Faucogney or Vesoul, Abbé Guillaume’s interpretation therefore being unreliable.

It is suggested that Aimon de Faucogney was unrelated to the earlier vicomtes de Vesoul who are named above and who, in the primary sources consulted, were unassociated with Faucogney. It is supposed that Aimon was related to Hugues Vicomte de Vesoul, whose descendants used the name Aimon. One possibility is that Hugues inherited the vicomté from his wife, who may have been heiress of Vicomte Giselbert [II] and who transmitted the name Giselbert to their son as shown below.

1. AIMON de Faucogney (-after [1133]). [Seigneur] de Faucogney. “Haimone Falconiense, Gerardoque atque Hugone Grangias, Haimoneque Sancte Marie” are the three lay witnesses to the charter dated 20 Jun 1118 which records the transfer of relics of St. Columbin to Lure[376]. Janauschek states that Bithaine abbey was founded by “Aymone de Faucogneyo”[377]. Humbert Archbishop of Besançon confirmed that “dominus Haimo Falconii” founded Bithaine, in the presence of “filiis suis Henrico...Othone et Rodulpho”, by charter dated “V Id Feb” 1146 (O.S.)[378]. Manrique dates the foundation to “III Kal Mai” 1133 but does not cite the corresponding primary source[379]. m ---. The name of Aimon’s wife is not known. Aimon & his wife had three children:

a) HENRI de Faucogney (-after [1170]). Humbert Archbishop of Besançon confirmed that “dominus Haimo Falconii” founded Bithaine, in the presence of “filiis suis Henrico...Othone et Rodulpho”, by charter dated “V Id Feb” 1146 (O.S.)[380]. Humbert Archbishop of Besançon confirmed the foundation of Grâce-Dieu abbey by “dominus Theobaldus de Rubeo Monte et dominus Richardus de Montefalcone...assensu uxorum suarum atque filiorum suorum”, in the presence of “...Henricus de Faucogney...”, by charter dated “V Non Mai” 1147[381].

c) RAOUL . Humbert Archbishop of Besançon confirmed that “dominus Haimo Falconii” founded Bithaine, in the presence of “filiis suis Henrico...Othone et Rodulpho”, by charter dated “V Id Feb” 1146 (O.S.)[384].

1. HUGUES (-[1150/57], bur Marteroy). Vicomte de Vesoul.

His place of burial is confirmed in the vidimus dated 1456 quoted below. m --- (-bur Marteroy). The name of Hugues’s wife is not known. As noted above, one possibility is that she was heiress of the vicomté de Vesoul, maybe the daughter or granddaughter of Vicomte Giselbert [II]. “Gislebertus Vicecomes de Vesulio” donated property “in Valle-Rusca” to Lieu-Croissant abbey “ad laudem uxoris sue et filie sue...ad laudem filiorum suorum...ad laudem matris vicecomitis” by undated charter[386]. Her place of burial is confirmed in the vidimus dated 1456 quoted below. Hugues & his wife had two children:

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...”[392]. “Gelebertus Vicecomes” donated property “des Estez” to Marteroy priory, where his parents were buried, dated to [1170], confirmed by “H. dictus Faucoigniensis et Vilarii, Vicecomes Visulii” in 1228, reproduced in a [badly conserved] vidimus dated 1456[393]. “...Gilbertus vicecomes Visulii...” subscribed the charter dated “VII Id Mai” 1179 under which Emperor Friedrich I records a dispute between the citizens of Besançon and the archbishop[394]. “...Gislebertus vice-comes Visulii...” subscribed the charter dated 1188 under which “Ludovicus...comes de Salvernia, imperialis aulæ in Burgundia justiciarius” settled a dispute between Bellevaux abbey and the inhabitants of Quenoche concerning usage of the woods of Marloz[395]. “Gislebertus vicecomes Visulii” donated pasturage rights “in...villarum...Pusel et Pusil et Asson” to Bellevaux abbey, with the consent of “filii mei Henrici”, by charter dated 1189[396]. The charter dated 24 Aug 1230 quoted below names “dominus G. vicecomes Vezulii et dominus Hemo avus meus” as predecessors of “Hemo dominus Falconeii” who then swore homage to Mathieu II Duke of Lorraine[397]. The document does not specify the family relationship between “G” (presumably Giselbert) and Aimon. m SIBYLLE, daughter of --- (-25 Jan after [1160]). “Gislibertus vicecomes Wesulii et dominus Falconii” confirmed previous donations to Clairefontaine, with “Aymo filius eius...uxor eius Sibilla et filius eius Henricus et filia Osilia”, by charter dated 1158[398].

The necrology of Besançon Saint-Etienne records the death “VIII Kal Feb” of “Sibilla vicecomitissa” and the donations made for her[400]. Giselbert [III] & his wife had four children:

i) AIMON de Faucogney (-after 1174). “Gislibertus vicecomes Wesulii et dominus Falconii” confirmed previous donations to Clairefontaine, with “Aymo filius eius...uxor eius Sibilla et filius eius Henricus et filia Osilia”, by charter dated 1158[401]. Humbert Archbishop of Besançon confirmed donations to Bithaine made by “Gislebertus vicecomes Visulii...dominus Falconii” and defined their respective territories, with the support of “vicecomitissa Sibilla uxor supradicti Gisleberti et filii eorum Haimo et Otto cum sorore sua Osilia”, by charter dated to before [1160][402]. Seigneur de Faucogney. A charter dated 24 Aug 1230 quoted below names “dominus G. vicecomes Vezulii et dominus Hemo avus meus” as predecessors of “Hemo dominus Falconeii” who then swore homage to Mathieu II Duke of Lorraine[403]. A charter dated 1174 records the confirmation by “Aymo dominus de Falcogneio cum Joanne filio suo”, with the support of “Adelina uxore sua et filiis suis singulis...Hugone, Pontio et Milone”, of the donation of “masnile...Devas...a prædicto Haymone...in feodum” made to Bithaine by “Alardo de Falcogneio et filiis eius Valone et Gerardo”[404]. It is likely that Aimon predeceased his father as no record has been found which names him as vicomte de Vesoul. m ADELINE, daughter of --- (-after 1174). A charter dated 1174 records the confirmation by “Aymo dominus de Falcogneio cum Joanne filio suo”, with the support of “Adelina uxore sua et filiis suis singulis...Hugone, Pontio et Milone”, of the donation of “masnile...Devas...a prædicto Haymone...in feodum” made to Bithaine by “Alardo de Falcogneio et filiis eius Valone et Gerardo”[405]. Aimon & his wife had [eight] children:

(a) JEAN de Faucogney (-after 1174). A charter dated 1174 records the confirmation by “Aymo dominus de Falcogneio cum Joanne filio suo”, with the support of “Adelina uxore sua et filiis suis singulis...Hugone, Pontio et Milone”, of the donation of “masnile...Devas...a prædicto Haymone...in feodum” made to Bithaine by “Alardo de Falcogneio et filiis eius Valone et Gerardo”[406].

(b) HUGUES de Faucogney (-after 1174). A charter dated 1174 records the confirmation by “Aymo dominus de Falcogneio cum Joanne filio suo”, with the support of “Adelina uxore sua et filiis suis singulis...Hugone, Pontio et Milone”, of the donation of “masnile...Devas...a prædicto Haymone...in feodum” made to Bithaine by “Alardo de Falcogneio et filiis eius Valone et Gerardo”[407].

(c) PONS de Faucogney (-after 1174). A charter dated 1174 records the confirmation by “Aymo dominus de Falcogneio cum Joanne filio suo”, with the support of “Adelina uxore sua et filiis suis singulis...Hugone, Pontio et Milone”, of the donation of “masnile...Devas...a prædicto Haymone...in feodum” made to Bithaine by “Alardo de Falcogneio et filiis eius Valone et Gerardo”[408].

(d) MILON de Faucogney (-after 1174). A charter dated 1174 records the confirmation by “Aymo dominus de Falcogneio cum Joanne filio suo”, with the support of “Adelina uxore sua et filiis suis singulis...Hugone, Pontio et Milone”, of the donation of “masnile...Devas...a prædicto Haymone...in feodum” made to Bithaine by “Alardo de Falcogneio et filiis eius Valone et Gerardo”[409].

(e) [AIMON [de Faucogney] (-before 1205). He is named in the following document: Faget de Casteljau records that “Renard seigneur de Faucogney et de Choiseul et Clémence sa femme” donated duties to Luxeuil (“Guillaume et Richard d’Auxelles, Guarin de la Coste et Narduin d’Annegray” renouncing their shares), in return for anniversaries for “Aymon frère de Clémence, de Renard, de Clémence, de Guillaume et de Richard d’Auxelles”, by charter dated 1205[410]. Aimon is not named in the charter dated 1174 which names Aimon de Faucogny’s other sons. Either he was born after that date or he and Clémence were Aimon’s grandchildren, one of the possibilities which is suggested below. Insufficient information is available on the chronology of the Faucogney family to assess the generation to which he belonged.]

(f) [CLEMENCE [de Faucogney] (-[1217/23]). The parentage of Clémence has not been confirmed. However, the charter dated 1223 quoted below is best explained if she was the daughter (or possibly grand-daughter) of Aimon Seigneur de Faucogney and was heiress of the seigneurie de Faucogney after the death of her father’s male heirs. Her husband’s name, otherwise unconnected with the Faucogney/Vesoul family, suggests that he was seigneur de Faucogney by right of his wife. The identity of her husband is confirmed by the following document: Faget de Casteljau records that “Renard seigneur de Faucogney et de Choiseul et Clémence sa femme” donated duties to Luxeuil (“Guillaume et Richard d’Auxelles, Guarin de la Coste et Narduin d’Annegray” renouncing their shares), in return for anniversaries for “Aymon frère de Clémence, de Renard, de Clémence, de Guillaume et de Richard d’Auxelles”, by charter dated 1205[411]. “Haymo...miles de Faucogneio” donated “decimas quas in castellania de Faucogneio ipse et mater sua a Renaudo domino de Faucogneio et Clementia uxore sua in feudum tenebant” to Luxeuil abbey, with the consent of “Raymardi domini de Faucogneio et Clementie uxoris suæ...”, by charter dated 1209[412]. “Renardus dominus de Falconii et uxor mea Clemencia” donated property “in...Vaulx...Malboans...” to Bithaine abbey, by charter dated Jan 1209 (O.S.)[413]. Faget de Casteljau records that “Renard seigneur de Choiseul, pour lui, Barthélemy son frère et Clémence son épouse” donated “des droits à Banne et...revenus à Bar-sur-Aube” to Langres chapter, with the consent of “ses sœurs Ide dame de Mereville et Helvis dame de Beaujeu”, by charter dated 1210[414]. "Rainardus dominus de Faucognie", with the consent of "Clementia uxore mea", and "Guillermus et…Richardus domini de Acella" assisted at the foundation of the priory of Saint-Urbain de Saulx by charter dated 1215[415]. “Renardus dominus Falconii et uxor sua Clementia” donated “in decimis in parrochiatu...de Sauz” to Bithaine by charter dated 1217[416]. “Hugo Falconii et Willarii dominus” donated men and property at Citers and Ailloncourt to Luxeuil abbey, for the soul of “Clemencie quondam domine Falconii”, with the consent of “uxoris nostre Beatricis et filii nostri Hemmonis vicecomitis Visulii”, by charter dated 1223[417]. The relationship between the donor and Clémence is not specified. m as his first wife, RAYNARD [II] Seigneur de Choiseul, son of FOULQUES Seigneur de Choiseul & his wife Alix --- (-[Mar 1238/Jun 1239]). Seigneur de Faucogney. “Aimon fils de Thomas de Faucogney vir nobilis miles de Faucogneio” donated revenue “decimas quas in castellania de Faucogneio, ipse et mater sua a Renaudo domino de Faucogneio et Clementia uxore sau in fundum tenebant” to Luxeuil abbey by charter dated 1209[418].]

(g) [daughter . In the same way that the parentage of her possible sister Clémence is discussed above, one possibility is that Lanfroi Vicomte de Vesoul inherited the vicomté by right of his wife, his name also being atypical of the Faucogney family. If that is correct, after her supposed husband died (presumably without direct heirs), the vicomté would have passed to the son of Lanfroi’s wife’s sister Beatrix. m LANFROI, son of --- (after 1199). Vicomte de Vesoul. “Lanfredus vicecomes Visulii” confirmed the donation of “grangia de Trivirs”, which had been disputed, to Bellevaux abbey made by “Huo miles filius Alfulsi” by charter dated 1199[419].]

(h) BEATRIX de Faucogney (-[1223/25]). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names “Humbertum et Theobaldum” as the brothers of "Gerardus Sancti Iohannis decanus..." archbishop of Besançon, adding that “Humberti filius Ugo” was the father of “Haymonem modernum” by “filia Haymonis de Falcongneis”[420]. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 24 Aug 1230 under which [her son] “Hemo dominus Falconeii” swore homage to Mathieu II Duke of Lorraine in the same way as his predecessors “dominus G. vicecomes Vezulii et dominus Hemo avus meus”[421]. “Hugo Falconii et Willarii dominus” donated men and property at Citers and Ailloncourt to Luxeuil abbey, for the soul of “Clemencie quondam domine Falconii”, with the consent of “uxoris nostre Beatricis et filii nostri Hemmonis vicecomitis Visulii”, by charter dated 1223[422]. “H. dominus de Facoygnees et Aymo filius meus vicecomes Visulii” donated “in decimis de Andelarath” to Bellevaux, for the salvation of “bone memorie uxoris mee matris vicecomitis...filii mei”, by charter dated 1225[423]. m HUGUES de Rougemont, son of HUMBERT [II] de Rougemont & his wife --- (-after 1225). Seigneur de Villersexel. Seigneur de Faucogney, by right of his wife.

ii) HENRI (-after 1189). “Gislibertus vicecomes Wesulii et dominus Falconii” confirmed previous donations to Clairefontaine, with “Aymo filius eius...uxor eius Sibilla et filius eius Henricus et filia Osilia”, by charter dated 1158[424]. “Gislebertus vicecomes Visulii” donated pasturage rights “in...villarum...Pusel et Pusil et Asson” to Bellevaux abbey, with the consent of “filii mei Henrici”, by charter dated 1189[425].

iii) OTHON (-after [1160]). Humbert Archbishop of Besançon confirmed donations to Bithaine made by “Gislebertus vicecomes Visulii...dominus Falconii” and defined their respective territories, with the support of “vicecomitissa Sibilla uxor supradicti Gisleberti et filii eorum Haimo et Otto cum sorore sua Osilia”, by charter dated to before [1160][426].

iv) AUXILIE (-after [1160]). “Gislibertus vicecomes Wesulii et dominus Falconii” confirmed previous donations to Clairefontaine, with “Aymo filius eius...uxor eius Sibilla et filius eius Henricus et filia Osilia”, by charter dated 1158[427]. Humbert Archbishop of Besançon confirmed donations to Bithaine made by “Gislebertus vicecomes Visulii...dominus Falconii” and defined their respective territories, with the support of “vicecomitissa Sibilla uxor supradicti Gisleberti et filii eorum Haimo et Otto cum sorore sua Osilia”, by charter dated to before [1160][428].

b) PIERRE de Faucogney (-1157). Humbert Archbishop of Besançon confirmed donations made to Clairefontaine abbey, including the donation of “usuaria in toto territorio Pollencortis, Oricortis et Onormontis...” made by “Ugo vicecomes Visulii” with the consent of “Gellebertus et Petrus filii eius”, by charter dated 1150[429]. Humbert Archbishop of Besançon confirmed donations made to Clairefontaine abbey, including the donation of “usuaria in toto territorio Pollencurtis, Oricurtis et Onormontis et Dominice ville” made by “Petrus et Gellebertus frater eius, vicecomes Visulii et dominus Falconii” with the consent of “Gellebertus et Petrus filii eius”, by charter dated 1157[430]. The precedence accorded to Pierre in the second document by the order of names, compared with the first document, suggests that he may have held an ecclesiastical position.

Their name suggests that the following two family groups were descendants of a junior branch of the Faucogney family. If this speculation is correct, no sources have been identified which indicate the precise family connection. Another possibility is that the heads of these families were knights at Faucogney who adopted the name of the castle but were unrelated to the seigneurial family.

1. ALARD de Faucogney (-after 1174). A charter dated 1174 records the confirmation by “Aymo dominus de Falcogneio cum Joanne filio suo”, with the support of “Adelina uxore sua et filiis suis singulis...Hugone, Pontio et Milone”, of the donation of “masnile...Devas...a prædicto Haymone...in feodum” made to Bithaine by “Alardo de Falcogneio et filiis eius Valone et Gerardo”[431]. m ---.

Aimon & his wife had [eight] children:

1. CLEMENCE de Faucogney (-4 Dec 1267).

The primary source which confirms her parentage more precisely has not yet been identified. The date of Clémence’s marriage is difficult to assess as the chronological data concerning the Faucogney family is not precise enough to draw safe conclusions about her date of birth. m ([1225/40?]) ETIENNE [I] Seigneur d’Oiselay, [illegitimate] son of ETIENNE [III] d’Auxonne Comte d’Auxonne & his second [wife] Blandine de Cicon ([1196/99]-after May 1269, bur Abbaye de La Charité).

7. ELISABETH de Faucogney . “Aymo dominus de Falcoygneio et vicecomes Visulii” donated “mansum Hugonis de Andelarre...apud Andelarret” to Bellevaux, with the consent of “domine Elisabeth uxoris mee et filiorum meorum Johannis, Aymonis, Theobaldi et Hugonis et filie mee Elisabeth”, by charter dated 1240[502]. Abbé Guillaume states that she married “Hugues Sire de Rougemont”[503]. He does not cite the primary source on which he relies, but her father’s belonging to the Rougemont family suggests that this may be incorrect.

8. [ALIX (-1302, bur Baume-les-Nonnains). Dame de Pouilly-sur-Saône. Europäische Stammtafeln shows Alix, wife of Hugues de Vienne Seigneur de Pagny, as the possible daughter of Aimon de Faucogney [Rougemont] Vicomte de Vesoul, Seigneur de Villersexel[504]. On the other hand, Père Anselme says that Hugues’s wife was Alix de Villars Dame de Pouilly-sur-Saône, daughter of Humbert [III] Seigneur de Thoire et Villars & his first wife Beatrix de Bourgogne (doubts about the identity of Humbert [III]’s first wife are discussed in the document BURGUNDY KINGDOM-BRESSE & BUGEY), noting that she died in 1302 and was buried near her husband, without citing the sources on which this information is based[505]. The question is further complicated by another table in Europäische Stammtafeln which names “Alix de Rougemont Dame de Pouilly-sur-Saòne, daughter of Thibaut [III] Seigneur de Rougemont” as Hugues’s wife[506]. No primary source which might shed light on Alix’s correct parentage has been identified. The only point on which all three secondary sources agree is that Alix was dame de Pouilly-sur-Saône. The key to resolving the problem therefore appears to be establishing the succession of the seigneurie de Pouilly-sur-Saône. As is shown in the document BURGUNDY DUCHY - BEAUNE & CHALON, no reference has been found to the Pouilly family after the death of Gérard Seigneur de Pouilly, dated to [1136/43]. It is probable that Gérard died without direct heirs and that Pouilly-sur-Saône was inherited by his sister Aiglantine and her descendants, but unfortunately no source has been identified which confirms the succession. “Phelippes dit de Vienne et sires de Paigné chevaliers et Iehane freres d’iceluy Phelippes damoiseaus, fil cay en arriers de bone heurée recordation Hugon cay en arriers conte de Vienne” reached agreement with “nostre...mere Aalys dite contesse de Vienne et cay en arriers dame de Paigné” concerning her dower by charter dated Oct 1277[507]. m HUGUES de Vienne Seigneur de Pagny, son of HUGUES Seigneur d’Antigny et de Pagny & his wife Beatrix de Vienne (-after Jul 1269, bur Baume-les-Nonnains).]

Abbé Guillaume names her as “Jeannette de Salm, fille de Henry V Comte de Salm et de Lorette de Bougogne” [presumably identified as Heinrich [IV] Graf von Salm and his wife Laurette von Blieskastel, see the document LOWER LOTHARINGIA NOBILITY], adding that their marriage was arranged in 1269 “par l’avis de Ferry Duc de Lorraine et d’Henry Comte de Vaudémont, parens du Comte de Salm”, but he cites no primary source on which he bases this information[515].

Chapter 6. SEIGNEURS de JONVELLE

Jonvelle is situated in the present-day French département of Haute-Saône, arrondissement Vesoul, canton Jussey.

HUMBERT "le Roux" de Fouvent [dit de Jonvelle], son of HUMBERT de Fouvent & his wife --- (-after 1098). Duchesne identifies “Humbert et Guy” as sons of “Humbert dit le Brun”, brother of Gérard [III] de Fouvent, noting that the former “Humbert dit le Roux III seigneur de Fouvent” died soon afterwards “sans lignée” and was succeeded by “Guy son frère”[555]. The Chronicon Besuense records that “duo fratres Humbertus Rufus et Wido filii Humberti Fontisvennæ” donated “ecclesias...citra aquam...Asmantia...” to Bèze by charter dated 1098[556]. Europäische Stammtafeln records Humbert as “dit de Jonvelle” and ancestor of the seigneurs de Jonvelle shown below[557]. The primary source which confirms that this information is correct has not been identified: maybe it was assumed because Guy [I] de Jonvelle was recorded with a brother named Humbert, as shown below.

m ---. The name of Humbert’s wife is not known. The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names her supposed son "Guidoni de Iunvilla, fratri comitis Tullensis" when recording his marriage[558]. As noted below, the “comitis Tullensis” has not been identified in the family of the Comtes de Toul (assuming that “Tullensis” does refer to Toul), but presumably “fratri” could indicate a half-brother. If the Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis is correct, Guy’s mother may have also been married to a member of the “Tullensis” family.

[Humbert & his wife had two children:]

1. [GUY [I] de Jonvelle (-after 1160). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified. As noted above, Europäische Stammtafeln names Humbert de Fouvent “dit de Jonvelle” as his father[559]. The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names "Guidoni de Iunvilla, fratri comitis Tullensis" when recording his marriage[560]. The “comitis Tullensis” has not been identified in the family of the Comtes de Toul, the chronology of that family being insufficiently precise to suggest a likely candidate with any confidence (see the document UPPER LOTHARINGIA, NOBILITY). Presumably “fratri” could indicate a half-brother, hence the suggestion relating to Guy’s mother noted above. Coudriet and Châtelet, in their mid-19th entury history of Jonvelle, name “Guy...sans que l’on puisse dire son origine ou celle de sa maison”[561]. Seigneur de Jonvelle. “Wido de Juinvilla et Humbertus frater eius” donated “villam...Franceis” to Dijon Saint-Etienne by charter dated to [1120/24][562]. Anseric Archbishop of Besançon confirmed donations to Cherlieu, including those made by “Guido de Juncivilla”, by charter dated 1127[563]. A charter dated to [1140] records a dispute heard “a domino Guidone de Juncivilla principe...curia”[564]. Guy [I] de Jonvelle confirmed donations to Clairefontaine, with the consent of “son épouse Elisabeth...son fils Bertrand et...sa belle-fille Comitissa femme de Bertrand”, by undated charter[565]. “Guy seigneur de Jonvelle” donated “la grange de Damoncourt” to Clairefontaine by charter dated 1152[566]. m ELISABETH de Buxi, daughter of EBLES de Buxi [et de Montfort] [Conflans] & his wife --- (-after 1152). The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis refers to the daughter of "Ebalus de Buxi" as wife of "Guidoni de Iunvilla, fratri comitis Tullensis", specifying that they had children of both sexes[567]. Guy [I] de Jonvelle confirmed donations to Clairefontaine, with the consent of “son épouse Elisabeth...son fils Bertrand et...sa belle-fille Comitissa femme de Bertrand”, by undated charter[568]. Europäische Stammtafeln names “Elisabeth de Montfort dite la Rousse”, daughter of “Ebles Comte de Montfort, Seigneur de Franzault”, as wife of Guy [I][569]. The primary source which confirms this information has not been identified. Guy [I] & his wife had children:

a) BERTRAND de Jonvelle (-after 1182). Guy [I] de Jonvelle confirmed donations to Clairefontaine, with the consent of “son épouse Elisabeth...son fils Bertrand et...sa belle-fille Comitissa femme de Bertrand”, by undated charter[570]. Seigneur de Jonvelle. “Bertrand seigneur de Jonvelle et son fils Guy” donated “un pré sis à Ormoy” to Clairefontaine by charter dated 1182[571]. m COMTESSE, daughter of ---. Guy [I] de Jonvelle confirmed donations to Clairefontaine, with the consent of “son épouse Elisabeth...son fils Bertrand et...sa belle-fille Comitissa femme de Bertrand”, by undated charter[572]. Bertrand & his wife had children:

i) GUY [II] de Jonvelle (-after 1182). “Bertrand seigneur de Jonvelle et son fils Guy” donated “un pré sis à Ormoy” to Clairefontaine by charter dated 1182[573]. Seigneur de Jonvelle. m ---. The primary source which confirms the identity of Guy’s wife has not been identified. Guy [II] & his wife had one child:

(a) GUY [III] de Jonvelle (-before 1218). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified. Seigneur de Jonvelle. “Guy de Jonvelle” confirmed the donation of pasturage rights “sur le territoire de Vougécourt” made to Clairefontaine by “Jean son fils” by charter dated 1216[574]. m firstly ELISABETH, daughter of --- (-before 1208). Guy [II] de Jonvelle donated mills “entre Corre et Ormoy” to Clairefontaine, for the soul of “Elisabeth sa première femme”, by charter dated 1208[575]. m secondly [as her second husband,] NICOLE, [widow of ---,] daughter of --- (-after 1236). “Nicolette comtesse de Jonvelle” donated “[le] four banal d’Ormoy” to Clairefontaine by charter dated 1218[576]. The chronology of the Jonvelle family indicates that Nicole must have been the wife of Guy [II]. The reference “comtesse” suggests that she may have been the widow of a “comte” before she married Guy. “N. comitissa Juneiville” donated a mill to Clairefontaine by charter dated 1236[577]. Guy [II] & his first wife had one child:

(1) JEAN de Jonvelle (-[1216/18?]). “Guy de Jonvelle” confirmed the donation of pasturage rights “sur le territoire de Vougécourt” made to Clairefontaine by “Jean son fils” by charter dated 1216[578]. As Jean was old enough to make donations in his own name at that time, it appears likely that he was born from his father’s first marriage.

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

(2) ISABELLE de Jonvelle (-after 1268). The primary source which confirms the identity of Isabelle’s mother has not been identified. Isabelle refers to her, but not by name, in the 1264 charter quoted below. Coudriet & Châtelet name her “Nicholette”, referring to the same charter[579]. It is not known whether the authors had sight of another version of the same document or of another document which names Isabelle’s mother. Dame de Jonvelle. “Symon de Saissefonteinne dominus de Jonvile” swore allegiance to “Otho dux Meranie comes palatinus Burgundie” for “chessamentum Jonvile et castellaniam”, naming “heredem de uxore mea qui fuit filia domini Guidonis de Jonvile”, by charter dated Feb 1230 (O.S.)[580]. Dodivers notes that Isabelle married secondly in 1241 Thiébaut Seigneur de Neuchâtel by whom she was childless[581]. “Isabel dame de Jonvile et Richard priors de Jonvile” issued a judgment against “Perrenes d’Anfonville”, committing that “mo signor Thébalt de Nouefchasteil signor de Jonvile” would consent, by charter dated early Jul 1250[582]. “Ysabeal dame de Jonville” swore allegiance to “Hugues comte palatin de Bourgoigne” for “Voisé” by charter dated 17 Jun 1263[583]. “Ysabels dame de Jonvile sor Sogne” accepted the decision of “Hugues cuens palatin et Aliz contesse palatine de Borgoigne” in a dispute between “moi...et mon si Symon de Sayssefontaine mon fil” and “Amey de Montbéliart segnor de Montfaucon...et son frère Thierri conte de Montbéliart” by charter dated 24 Jun 1263[584]. “Elisabeth domina Junciville” donated property to the priory of Villars-Saint-Marcellin, for the soul of “bone memorie matris nostre”, by charter dated Dec 1264[585]. Isabelle donated revenue “sur son four de Corre” to found anniversaries, with the consent of the children of her late son “Guy et Simon, Elisabeth et Alix”, in the presence of “Agnès leur mère, de Pierre de la Fauche leur oncle”, by charter dated 1268[586]. m firstly SIMON [III] de Sexfontaines, son of --- (-before 1241). m secondly (1241) as his second wife, THIEBAUT [II] Seigneur de Neuchâtel, son of FROMOND de Dramelay & his wife --- (-[Sep 1267/1268]).

2. [HUMBERT (-after [1120/24]). “Wido de Juinvilla et Humbertus frater eius” donated “villam...Franceis” to Dijon Saint-Etienne by charter dated to [1120/24][587].]

Jonvelle was inherited by the grandson of Isabelle Dame de Jonvelle, shown above, descended from her first marriage with Simon [III] de Sexfontaines.

GUY de Sexfontaines, son of SIMON [IV] de Sexfontaines & his wife Agnes de Choiseul ([1256/59]-1296 or [1303/04]). Isabelle [de Jonvelle] donated revenue “sur son four de Corre” to found anniversaries, with the consent of the children of her late son “Guy et Simon, Elisabeth et Alix”, in the presence of “Agnès leur mère, de Pierre de la Fauche leur oncle [their stepfather]”, by charter dated 1268[588]. Seigneur de Jonvelle. “Guido dominus Jonciville domicellus” donated property to the abbey of Saint-Vincent by charter dated 10 May 1289[589]. Coudriet & Châtelet record that Guy died in 1296[590]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln, he died in 1303/04[591]. The primary source which confirms which date is correct has not been identified.

m [as her first husband,] MARGUERITE [de Ruffey Dame de Montdoré, daughter of ETIENNE Seigneur de Ruffey & his wife Beatrix ---] (-[after 28 Nov 1330]). Coudriet & Châtelet records that Guy married in 1285 “Marguerite fille de défunt Philippe de Chavirey”, whose dowry was “la terre de Soilly en Champagne”[592]. On the other hand, Europäische Stammtafeln records that Guy de Sexfontaines Seigneur de Jonvelle married firstly “Béatrice de Tilchâtel, daughter of Jean maréchal de Bourgogne & de Marie Simone de Joinville-Mornay”, and secondly in 1302 “Marguerite de Ruffey Dame de Montdoré, daughter of Etienne de Montdoré sn de Ruffey-sur-Seille & de Béatrice de Commercy”, noting that Guy’s second wife married secondly ([1304]) as his second wife, Hugues de Vienne Seigneur de Longwy et de Pagny[593]. Rousset provides the same information as Europäische Stammtafeln[594]. No primary source has yet been found which clarifies the question. The following document confirms that the second wife of Hugues de Vienne was called Marguerite: the testament of “Hugues de Vienne chevaliers sires de Montmoret”, dated Apr 1315, made bequests to “...Mergeurite ma fome...”[595].

Secondary sources show two different versions of the descendants of Guy de Sexfontaine/Jonvelle and his wife Marguerite. The two versions, which appear irreconcilable, are shown separately below. Primary sources which might shed light on the question have not been identified, although the Apr 1315 testament quoted in B. appears consistent with that second version.

A. Descendants of Guy de Sexfontaines Seigneur de Jonvelle according to Coudriet & Châtelet:

Guy & his wife had four children:

1. CATHERINE de Jonvelle . Père Anselme names “Catherine de Jonvelle dame de Chauvirey” as wife of Jean de Vienne[596]. Coudriet & Châtelet name “Catherine et Marguerite, et deux fils Guy et Simon [qui] moururent jeunes et sans postérité” as the children of Guy & his wife Marguerite, noting in a later passage that Catherine married firstly “Jean de Chauvirey, dont elle eut un fils nommé Philippe” and secondly “le fameux Jean de Vienne, son cousin...qui en 1346 et 1347 gouverna et défendit...Calais, assiégée par Edouard roi d’Angleterre” who died at Paris 4 Aug 1351[597]. Catherine’s supposed first husband is not named in the reconstruction of the Seigneurs de Chauvirey shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[598]. m firstly JEAN de Chauvirey, son of ---. m secondly JEAN de Vienne, son of JEAN de Vienne Seigneur de Pagny et de Neublans & his wife Comtesse de Neublans Dame de Neublans (-Paris 4 Aug 1351).

It is unclear from the Apr 1315 testament, quoted below, whether Jean was alive at that date or not. m MARGUERITE de Vienne, daughter of HUGUES de Vienne Seigneur de Pagny et de Longvy & his first wife Gille de Longwy (-after Apr 1315).

Jean & his wife had children:

a) PHILIPPE de Jonvelle (-[1359 or 1374], bur Clairefontaine). His parentage is confirmed by the 1329 charter quoted below. Seigneur de Jonvelle. “Philippes sire de Jonville fis cay en erriers...Jehan jaydis signour de Jonville” confirmed possessions of Saint-Vincent at Jonvelle by charter dated 1329[604]. “Philippe sire de Jonville sur Soone et de la Votisse” confirmed privileges to Jonvelle by charter dated 1354[605].

The 16 Mar 1378 document cited above also refers to the sale of Jonvelle to the duke of Burgundy. Philippe Duke of Burgundy granted Jonvelle to Guy de la Trémoïlle by charter dated 18 Jun 1378[613].

Chapter 7. SEIGNEURS de LONGWY

The seigneurie de Longwy passed to the Vienne family following the marriage of Gillette de Longwy, shown above.

JACQUES de Vienne, son of GUILLAUME de Vienne Seigneur de Longwy et de Saint-Georges & his wife Marguerite de Vaudémont (-[30 Jul/Oct] 1372). A charter dated 1344 records the division of properties agreed between “Jaques et Hugues de Vienne”[615]. His parentage is confirmed by the 19 Mar 1346 marriage contract of his sister Jeanne, quoted below. Seigneur de Longwy et de Bellevesvre. The testament of “Jaiques de Vienne sires de Longvi”, dated 12, 13 & 20 Jul 1372 published [late Oct/early Nov] 1372, bequeathed property to “Jehan le bastar de Saint George escoiers...Jehanne ma...fille...ma...compaigne dame Marguerite de la Roiche dame de Lonvy sa mere...Jaiques mon...filz...Guillaume mon fil et son frere” and appointed as executors “...Guillaume de Vergey archevesque de Besençon mon...nevour..Jean de Vargey sire de Fouvans mon nevour....”[616].

Her family origin and first marriage are confirmed by a monumental inscription at Clervaux which records the burial of her husband which was erected by “Madame Marguerite fille ou Conte de La Roche, femme d’oudit mon Signour”[617]. Abbé Guillaume records that Marguerite married secondly “Guillaume de Thoire-Villars chevalier Seigneur de Beauvoir [en Montagne] et du Chastelard [dans le Pays de Dombe]”, and thirdly “Jacques de Vienne chevalier Sire de Longvy”[618]. The testament of “Jaiques de Vienne sires de Longvi”, dated 12, 13 & 20 Jul 1372 published [late Oct/early Nov] 1372, bequeathed property to “...Jehanne ma...fille...ma...compaigne dame Marguerite de la Roiche dame de Lonvy sa mere...”[619].

Jacques & his wife had three children:

1. JACQUES de Vienne (-killed in battle Nikopolis 28 Sep 1396). The testament of “Jaiques de Vienne sires de Longvi”, dated 12, 13 & 20 Jul 1372 published [late Oct/early Nov] 1372, bequeathed property to “...Jaiques mon...filz...Guillaume mon fil et son frere”[620]. Seigneur de Longwy et de Marigny-sur-Ouche. The testament of “Hugues de Vienne soignour de Salieres”, dated 25 Apr 1390, named as his heir “nostre...frere me sire Guillaume de Vienne soignour de Saint George” substituting “nostre...cousin mes sire Jaiques de Vienne soignour de Longvy”, and named as executors “...mes sire Jaiques de Vienne soignour de Longvy, mes sire Johan de Vergier soignour de Fonvans”[621]. A monument at Nikopolis records the deaths there of “...Jacques II de Vienne sire de Longwy et de Marigny 1370-1396...”[622]. m (after 1372) as her first husband, MARGUERITE de Noyers Dame de Joigny, de Pouilly et d’Antigny, daughter of MILON de Noyers Comte de Joigny & his wife Marguerite de Ventadour (-1423). The primary source which confirms her first marriage has not been identified. She married secondly (before 1409) Guy de la Trémoïlle Baron de Bourbon-Lancy, who became Comte de Joigny. Her family origin and second marriage are confirmed by the marriage contract between [her daughter] “Damoiselle Claude de la Trimouille fille...Monseigneur Guy de la Trimouille chevalier Seigneur d’Uchon et Comte de Joigny, du corps de feue...Marguerite de Noyers Comtesse et Dame des lieux dessusdits” and “Charles de Vergey Seigneur d’Autrey et de Montferrant en la Comté de Bourgongne”, dated 15 Jan 1434 (O.S.?)[623]. Jacques & his wife had one child:

a) JEAN de Vienne (-1399). Père Anselme records his parentage, noting his death in 1399 and the subsequent dispute concerning his succession between “les seigneurs de Couches et de S. Georges”[624].

2. GUILLAUME de Vienne (-after 1372). The testament of “Jaiques de Vienne sires de Longvi”, dated 12, 13 & 20 Jul 1372 published [late Oct/early Nov] 1372, bequeathed property to “...Jaiques mon...filz...Guillaume mon fil et son frere”[625].

3. JEANNE de Vienne (-after 6 Apr 1400). The marriage contract between “Antoine de Grandson fils de Jacques de Grandson seigneur de Pesmes et de Marguerite de Vergy” and “demoiselle Jeanne de Vienne fille de Jacques de Vienne seigneur de Longwy et de feue Marguerite de la Roche” is dated 17 Feb 1368 (presumably O.S.), and reserves Pesmes to Antoine after the death of his parents[626]. The testament of “Jaiques de Vienne sires de Longvi”, dated 12, 13 & 20 Jul 1372 published [late Oct/early Nov] 1372, bequeathed property to “...Jehanne ma...fille...ma...compaigne dame Marguerite de la Roiche dame de Lonvy sa mere...”[627]. This testament names Jeanne without naming her husband, which suggests that her proposed marriage to Antoine de Grandson was never finalised or, if it was, that Antoine died soon after the marriage, and that Jeanne was not yet married to Philibert de Montagu. “Phelibert de Montagu seigneur de Coulches, Jehanne de Vienne sa femme” and “Guillaume de Vienne seigneur de Sainct George” reached agreement on the succession of “feu Jaques de Vienne” regarding the châtellenie of Châtillon-sous-Maiche by charter dated 6 Apr 1399 (O.S.)[628].

Europäische Stammtafeln shows her marriage[630], but the primary source which confirms the information has not been identified. Mathieu & his wife had [two] children:

a) HENRI de Longwy (-12 May 1396, bur Dôle église des Cordeliers). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified. Seigneur de Rahon. Henri de Longwy mediated a treaty dated 23 Aug 1369 between “Jean de Neuchâtel seigneur de Vuillafans-le-Neuf” and the duke of Burgundy[631]. The testament of “Hugues de Vienne soignour de Salieres”, dated 25 Apr 1390, named as executors “...mes sire Henry de Longvy soignour de Rahon...”[632]. The testament of Henri de Longwy, dated 20 Dec 1390, published 30 Jun 1396, chose burial “dans l’église des Cordeliers de Dole”, named “Mathée de Longwy son petit-fils” as his heir[633]. An epitaph in Dôle église des Cordeliers records the burial of “Henry de Longwy sr de Raon et de--- chevalier” who died 22 May 1396[634]. m firstly (1355) PHILIBERTE de Montagu, daughter of PHILIBERT de Montagu Seigneur de Couches & his wife Jeanne de Vienne (-after 1356). m secondly (25 Nov 1369) as her second husband, JEANNE de Faucogney, widow of JEAN de Neuchâtel Seigneur de Vuillafans-le-Neuf, daughter of HENRI de Faucogney Seigneur de Château-Lambert & his wife Jeanne de Blâmont (-[20 Mar/25 Apr] 1373). “Ysabel de Nuefchastel contesse de Nydove” and “Jehanne dame de Faucoigney feme deffeu messire Jehan de Nuefchastel, jaidis signour de Vuillafens le nuef, et ores femme de...Henri de Longvi signour de Raon” agreed the dower of the latter from her first marriage by charter dated 5 Oct 1370[635]. The testament of “Johanna domina de Facoigneyo uxor...Henrici de Longo vico domini de Rahone militis”, dated 20 Mar 1372 (O.S.) published 25 Apr 1373, chose burial “in abbacia de Betania...juxta sepulturan parentum ac majorum meorum”, made bequests to “Agnete de Facoigneyo domicelle sorori mee spurie...Johanni dicti Croliere et Henrico dicto le Put, de Facoigneyo, fratribus meis spuriis...Johanni de Maiseres fratri meo spurio...Johanni et Theobardo spuriis de Facoigneyo...domicelle Henriete de Vergeyo uxori Johannis de Longo vico filii...mariti mei...Ysabelle sorori mee uterine...marito meo domino Henrico de Longo vico domino de Rahone...castra et fortalicia mea de Facoigneyo et de Castro Humberti”[636]. Henri & his first wife had one child:

i) JEAN de Longwy (-after Jun 1382, bur Damparis). His parentage is confirmed by the 20 Mar 1372 (O.S.) testament of his stepmother, quoted above. Seigneur de Beaumont-sur-Serain et de Rahon.

- see below.

b) [--- de Longwy/de Rahon (after 1324-before 1350). The fact of the first marriage of Jean de Bourbon Seigneur de Montperroux (but not the name of his first wife) is confirmed by Père Anselme who, when recording the third marriage of Laure de Bourdeau, names her third husband “Jean de Bourbon seigneur de Montperoux issu des anciens sire de Bourbon, dont elle fut la seconde femme”[637]. A connection between the Bourbon/Montperroux and Longwy/Rahon families is indicated by a charter dated 1371 under which the Gérard de Bourbon Seigneur de Montperroux records holding “en fief de son oncle Henry de Longwy sa terre de Gourmandet”[638]. If “oncle” [translation of “avunculus”? = maternal uncle] was used in its strict sense, Gérard’s mother was Henri de Longwy sister. According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Jean’s first wife was “--- de Longvy, Dame de la Roche-en-Besort, Nichte von Henri de L sn de Rahon”[639], although “Nichte” seems less likely chronologically. Another possibility is that she was a more distant relative of the Longwy/Rahon family, considering that “avunculus/oncle” could have been used in an extended sense. However, that case seems less likely as the best explanation for Gérard holding property in fief from Henry de Longwy is that it was his mother’s dowry, and therefore granted by her father or brother. The date of her marriage is estimated very approximately on the assumption that her son Gérard was still a minor when his father died. m ([1340/45?]) as his first wife, JEAN [I] de Bourbon Seigneur de Montperroux, son of [HUGUES [I] de Bourbon Seigneur de Montperroux & his [third] wife Jacquette de la Roche-en-Brenil]] ([1315/20?]-killed in battle Poitiers 19 Sep 1356, bur Poitiers Franciscans).]

JEAN de Longwy, son of HENRI de Longwy Seigneur de Rahon & his first wife Philiberte de Montagu (-after Jun 1382, bur Damparis). His parentage is confirmed by the 20 Mar 1372 (O.S.) testament of his stepmother, quoted above. Seigneur de Beaumont-sur-Serain et de Rahon.

She married secondly (15 Dec 1383) Jean de Vienne Seigneur de Pagny. A parliamentary registry dated 19 Feb 1389 records a claim by “ducem Barensem marquesiam Pontis” against “Ioannam de Vergeyo dominam d’Authon et Margaretam de Vergeyo dominam de Pesmes et...Ioannem de Vienna dominum de Paigny militem et Henrietam de Vergeyo eius uxorem”, naming “Henricus, Ioannes, Erardus et Petrus” as sons of Thibaut II Comte de Bar, “Henricum” as the son of Pierre and “Ysabelli de Vergeyo” as his wife, specifying that “Guillelmus de Vergeyo dominus de Mirabel miles” had “Henrieta uxor dicti Joannis de Vienna domini de Paigny” by his second [instead of his third] marriage[643]. An epitaph at Theulay records “Henriette de Vergy...dame de Fontaine-Françoise, femme premierement de...Iean de Longvy fils de Monseigneur de Rahon, et apres femme...Iehan de Vienne seigneur de Pagney” who died 27 Dec 1427[644].

Europäische Stammtafeln records her parentage and marriage[670]. The primary source which confirms the information has not been identified. m secondly JEANNE de Vienne Dame de Montrond, daughter of GUILLAUME de Vienne Seigneur de Sainte-Croix & his wife Marguerite de Montbéliard (-[8 Oct/Nov] 1363, bur Baume-les-Nonnains). Père Anselme records her marriage, noting that she donated “les châteaux de Montrond et de Boshujan” to her children in 1359 with the consent of her husband[671]. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the following document: a charter dated 15 May 1358 records the agreement between “Henry de Vienne sire de Mirebel...à cause de sa femme fille d’icelui seigneur [de Sainte Croix]” and “Hugue de Vienne sire de Saint George” concerning the succession of “feu mess. Guillaume d’Antigny jadiz seigneur de Sainte Croix”, providing for the guardianship of “Huguenin son filz meneur d’aage filz de feu madame Marie jadiz fille dudit seigneur de Sainte Croix”[672]. The testament of “Jehanne de Saincte Croix dame de Montrunt et de Chastel Maillet”, dated 8 Oct 1363 published early Dec 1363, chose burial “en l’eglise du mostier de Balme les Moignes...ou est la sepulture mon seigneur Vuathier de Vyanne pere de...Henry de Vyanne mon marit”, bequeathed property to “Vauthier et Jehan de Vyanne freres, enffanz de mon seigneur et marit...Henry de Vyanne sires de Mirebel”, named “mon...neveour Hugonin de Vyanne fil de ma...suer dame Marie de Saincte Croix” as her heir, and named as executors “mon...frere mon seigneur Estienne de Monfalcon [Etienne Comte de Montbéliard - his description as “mon...frere” in relation to the testator has not been explained]...mon...marit mon seigneur Henry de Vianne sires de Mirebel...mon seigneur Thiebaut sires de Rye et...mon seigneur Richart de Maillié, chevaliers”[673]. Henri & his first wife had four children:

i) GAUTHIER de Vienne (-[Feb 1390/1393], bur Baume). The testament of “Jehanne de Saincte Croix dame de Montrunt et de Chastel Maillet”, dated 8 Oct 1363 published early Dec 1363, bequeathed property to “Vauthier et Jehan de Vyanne freres, enffanz de mon seigneur et marit...Henry de Vyanne sires de Mirebel”[674]. Seigneur de Mirebel. The testament of “Gauthier de Vienne”, dated “Feb 1399 (O.S.)” [date should be 1390?], chose burial “près de son père dans l’église de l’abbaye de Baume”, named as his heir “Gauthier de Vienne fils de feu Jean de Vienne son frère” with “[les] enfants de Jeanne sa sœur dame de Saint-Dizier...Jean de Vienne sire de Roulans, Jean de Vienne sire de Pagny et Henri son frère” as successive substitutes, and granted “Jeanne de Joux son épouse” the usufruct of his assets during the minority of his nephew[675]. m firstly AGNES de Grandson, daughter of JACQUES de Grandson Seigneur de Pesmes & his wife Marguerite de Vergy (-before 1366). “Agnes de Grandson, fille de Jacques de Grandson et de Marguerite de Vergy, femme de Vauthier de Vienne seigneur de Mirebel” acknowledged receipt of money in respect of her matrimonial rights by undated charter[676]. Agnes must have married and have died before 1366 when her husband is recorded with his second wife. If that is correct, she was one of her parents’ oldest children. m secondly (before May 1366) JEANNE de Blonay Dame de Joux, daughter of HUGUES de Blonay Seigneur de Joux & his wife Marguerite de Grandson ([1341/47]-before 4 May 1412). The testament of Hugues de Blonay, dated 30 Jan 1348 (O.S.), named “Jeanne sa fille unique” as his heir[677]. The testament of [her mother] “Marguerite de Grandson, veuve de Pierre de Billens, épouse de Rodolphe comte de Gruyères”, dated 22 Apr 1377, named “sa fille Jeanne, issue de son mariage avec Hugues de Blonay sire de Joux, mariée à Vauthier de Vienne sire de Mirebel” as her heir “de ses biens au diocèse de Besançon”[678]. The testament of “Gauthier de Vienne”, dated “Feb 1399 (O.S.)” [date should be 1390?], granted “Jeanne de Joux son épouse” the usufruct of his assets during the minority of his nephew[679]. “Janne de Blonay vesve de feu...Vaulthier de Vienne jadis seigneur de Mirebel...jadis dame de Joux” sold “les chasteaux, terres et appartenances de Joulx prs de Pontarlier au diocese de Besançon” to “Guillaume de Vienne seigneur de Sainct George et de Saincte Croix” by charter dated 2 Apr 1399 (O.S.)[680]. Estavayer cites a 4 May 1412 charter in which Jean Duke of Burgundy records that “feu Ode jaidis duc de Bourgongne [Eudes IV], mist en main et gaige les tailles de la ville de Grozon, aux prédécesseurs de feu la dame de Joux dernièrement trespassée [presumably Jeanne]” during ”certaines guerres qui furent alors en Bourgongne” and that “par le trespas de ladite dame” they belong to “son...conseiller et chambellan le sire de St-George et de Ste-Croix” [presumably Guillaume de Vienne Seigneur de Saint-Georges et de Sainte-Croix, who died 1427 (linking with the 2 Apr 1399 (O.S.) charter quoted above), grandfather of the wife of Rudolf IV Markgraf von Hachberg, Comte de Neuchâtel, whose son inherited Joux, see the documents BURGUNDY DUCHY-BEAUNE & CHALON and BADEN][681].

ii) JEAN de Vienne . The testament of “Jehanne de Saincte Croix dame de Montrunt et de Chastel Maillet”, dated 8 Oct 1363 published early Dec 1363, bequeathed property to “Vauthier et Jehan de Vyanne freres, enffanz de mon seigneur et marit...Henry de Vyanne sires de Mirebel”[682]. Seigneur de Montrond. Père Anselme records his parentage and that he died childless, without citing the corresponding primary source[683]. His parentage and his fatherhood of at least one child are confirmed by the testament of his brother Gauthier. m ---. The name of Jean’s wife is not known. Jean & his wife had one child:

(1) GAUTHIER de Vienne ([1378]-killed in battle Nikopolis 1396). The testament of “Gauthier de Vienne [seigneur de Mirebel]”, dated “Feb 1399 (O.S.)” [date should be 1390?], named as his heir “Gauthier de Vienne fils de feu Jean de Vienne son frère” with “[les] enfants de Jeanne sa sœur dame de Saint-Dizier...Jean de Vienne sire de Roulans, Jean de Vienne sire de Pagny et Henri son frère” as successive substitutes[684]. A monument at Nikopolis records the deaths there of “...Vauthier de Vienne sire de Mirebel 1378-1396...”[685]. m (contract 18 Apr 1396) as her first husband, ISABELLE d’Estouteville, daughter of ROBERT [IX] Seigneur d’Estouteville & his wife Marguerite de Montmorency (-after 28 Oct 1438). The marriage contract between “Guillaume de Vienne Archévêque de Rouen et messire Jehan de Vienne Amiral de France, pour et au nom de Vautier de Vienne escuyer seigneur de Mirebeau” and “Mgr Robert d’Estouteville sg. de Vallemont, Hotot et des Loges et messire Jehan son fils, pour et au nom de noble damoiselle Isabel d’Estouteville leur fille et sœur” is dated 18 Apr 1396[686]. She married secondly (contract 8 Nov 1401) Jean de Béthune Seigneur de Locres et de Mareuil. She married thirdly (after 1415) as his second wife, Henri [III] Seigneur de Hans. The primary sources which confirm her second and third marriages have not been identified.

iii) ARCHILANDE de Vienne (-[1365]). Gingins-la-Sarra records her parentage and marriage without citing the source on which the information is based[687]. m as his first wife, JEAN de Montfaucon Seigneur de Vuillafens, son of GERARD de Monfaucon Seigneur de Vuillafans et d’Orbe & his wife Jacquette de Grandson (-killed in battle near Asti [May/Jun] 1372).

iv) JEANNE de Vienne (-[1411/8 Oct 1412]). The testament of “Gauthier de Vienne [seigneur de Mirebel]”, dated “Feb 1399 (O.S.)” [date should be 1390?], named as his heir “Gauthier de Vienne fils de feu Jean de Vienne son frère” with “[les] enfants de Jeanne sa sœur dame de Saint-Dizier...” as substitutes[688]. The primary source which confirms her first marriage has not been identified, although the fact of the first marriage and that she had children by her first husband are indicated by the testament of her brother Gauthier. [The question of her second marriage, suggested below, is difficult. Père Anselme records Jeanne de Vienne and her marriage with “Simon Seigneur de Grançon” without citing the corresponding primary source[689]. Rousset names her husband “Simon de Grandson” and states that Jeanne was the daughter of her father’s second marriage[690]. This seems unlikely to be correct as Jeanne is not named in the 8 Oct 1363 testament of her supposed mother, quoted above. The primary source which confirms Jeanne’s parentage and marriage has not been identified, but it seems likely that she was the same person as Jeanne de Vienne, daughter of Henri de Vienne Seigneur de Mirebel by his first wife and that Simon de Grandson was her second husband whom she married after the death of Jean Seigneur de Rougemont and before her marriage to Edouard Seigneur de Saint-Dizier.] Her second/third marriage is confirmed and her third/fourth marriage indicated by the following document: a charter dated 26 Sep 1402 records a claim by “Yolant de Bar et Ysabel de Bar” against “Monsieur Iean de Vergy chevalier et sa femme, Messire Ferry de Chardoines, I. de Saint-Dizier sa femme, Ieanne et Ysabel de la Haute Ribaupierre”, the former recording the descent of “Messire Edouart de Saint Disier” whose wife “Dame Ieanne de Vienne” remarried “un grand seigneur de Vergy”[691]. Letters dated 1411 record the claim by “Isabellis de Barro domina d’Arques et Ioanna domina Castrivillani heredem se dicens defunctæ Ysabellis de Barro dominæ quondam de Granceio et d’Ancerville” against “Ioannam de Vienna ad presens Ioannis de Vergeio militis et antea defuncti Eduardi quondam domini de Sancto Desiderio uxorem”[692]. She presumably died before 8 Oct 1412, the date of her last husband’s testament in which she is not named. m firstly JEAN Seigneur de Rougemont, son of GUY [I] Seigneur de Rougemont & his wife Etiennette de Ruffey-sur-l’Ognon (-1375). [m secondly SIMON de Grandson, son of JACQUES de Grandson Seigneur de Pesmes & his wife Marguerite de Vergy.] m secondly/thirdly EDOUARD Seigneur de Saint-Dizier, son of JEAN Seigneur de Saint-Dizier et de Vignory & his wife Marie de Bar-Pierrepont (-13 Aug 1401). m thirdly/fourthly ([Aug 1401/26 Sep 1402]) as his second wife, JEAN de Vergy Seigneur de Fouvent et de Champlitte, son of JEAN de Vergy Seigneur de Fouvent & his wife Gillette de Vienne (-25 May 1418, bur Theulay).

Chapter 9. SEIGNEURS de MONTFERRAND, VICOMTES de BESANÇON

Montferrand, now called Montferrand-le-Château, is located in the present-day French département of Doubs, arrondissement Besançon, canton Boussières. According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Guillaume Seigneur de Montferrand who is shown below was the son of Jean de Cicon Seigneur de Montferrand[694]. The primary source which corroborates this information has not been identified. Abbé Guillaume records that Thibaut [IV] Seigneur de Rougemont sold the vicomté de Besançon, dated to the second half of the 13th century, “au Seigneur de Montferrand, qui la transmit à Humbert Sire de Clervaux, duquel Jean de Chalon Sire d’Arlay la reçut sous la condition de la tenir de son fief”[695].

1. GUILLAUME de Montferrand (-12 Jul [before 1250], bur Besançon Cordeliers). Seigneur de Montferrand. An epitaph at Besançon Cordeliers records the burial of “dnus Guillermus de Monteferrandi” who died “IV Id Jul” and “Odo miles dns de Montefarrandi” who died 132 (O.S.) “die Bordarum”[696]. m ---. The primary source which confirms the identity of Guillaume’s wife has not been identified. Faget de Casteljau says that Isabelle de Rougemont, wife of Robert de Choiseul Seigneur de Traves, was “peut-être veuve de Guillaume de Montferrand et la mère de Pierre de Montferrand”[697]. He does not discuss the basis for his conjecture, but notes that Robert de Choiseul and his wife Isabelle sold the seigneurie de Cerre-lès-Noroy, with the consent of “Thibaud de Rougemont et de Pierre de Montferrand” (no source citation) which could be explained by Pierre de Montferrand holding an interest in the property by inheritance. Another possibility is that the property in question was one of the properties of the vicomté de Besançon which, as noted in the introduction to the present chapter, was sold by the Rougemont family to the seigneur de Montferrand. If that is correct, there may have been no Montferrand/Rougemont family relationship. In addition, the chronology is not ideal: the birth of Isabelle’s known husband Robert de Choiseul (by whom she had [five] children) can be estimated to [1225/30], whereas the birth of Pierre de Montferrand, son of Guillaume de Montferrand estimated to [1230/40] as shown below. There appears to be so much uncertainty regarding Faget de Casteljau’s suggestion that it is prudent to show Guillaume de Montferrand’s wife as unknown until more data emerges. Guillaume & his wife had children:

a) PIERRE de Montferrand ([1230/40]-[25 Jun 1273/13 Feb 1277]). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified. His birth date is estimated from the estimated birth date of his son. Seigneur de Montferrand. Faget notes that Robert de Choiseul and his wife Isabelle (see above) donated “la moitié du moulin de la Verre” to Bellevaux abbey, with the consent of “Pierre de Montferrand et Thibauit fils d’Humbert de Rougemont”, by charter dated 1265[698]. Vicomte de Besançon. Faget de Casteljau records that Robert de Choiseul repurchased the “vicomté de Besançon, engagée par Pierre de Montferrand à Hugues seigneur de Thoraise”, promising to grant it to “Eudes de Rougemont archévêque de Besançon” when he reimbursed the debt, by charter dated 1276[699]. m ---. The primary source which confirms the identity of Pierre’s wife has not been identified. Pierre & his wife had children:

i) EUDES de Montferrand ([1255/65]-20 Feb 1328, bur Besançon Cordeliers). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified. His birth date is estimated on the assumption that he was a couple years older than his wife. Seigneur de Montferrand. Vicomte de Besançon. “Eudes de Montferrand” gave “la vicomté de Besançon” to “Humbert de Clairvaux” by charter dated 1293, and in the same year Humbert de Clairvaux received the vicomté “en fief de Jean de Chalon-Arlay” and Adolf King of Germany confirmed it to “Jean de Chalon-Arlay et à Humbert de Clairvaux”[700]. The testament of “Hugues de Vienne chevaliers sires de Montmoret”, dated Apr 1315, made bequests to “...mon signour Houde signour de Montferrant mon...frere”[701]. An epitaph at Besançon Cordeliers records the burial of “dnus Guillermus de Monteferrandi” who died “IV Id Jul” and “Odo miles dns de Montefarrandi” who died 132 (O.S.) “die Bordarum”[702]. m HUGUETTE de Vienne, daughter of PHILIPPE de Vienne Seigneur de Pagny & his [first wife Agnes de Bourgogne] ([1260/70]-13--, bur Besançon Cordeliers). Her parentage and marriage are indicated by the testament of [her brother] “Hugues de Vienne chevaliers sires de Montmoret”, dated Apr 1315, which made bequests to [her sons] “...Girart de Montferrant et a Jehan son frere mes nevours...”[703]. An epitaph at Besançon Cordeliers records the burial of “Hugueta de Vienna uxor dni Monteferrandi” who died in 13--[704]. Eudes & his wife had two children:

(a) JEAN de Montferrand (-[21 Apr/3 Nov] 1351). Europäische Stammtafeln records his parentage[705]. Seigneur de Montferrand. Europäische Stammtafeln records his testament dated 21 Apr 1351[706]. m MARGUERITE de Vaugrenant, daughter of JEAN de Vaugrenant & his wife Helvis de Faucogney-Villersexel (-after 26 Jun 1354). Jean & his wife had two children:

(1) JEANNE de Montferrand (-1389). Abbé Guillaume records her parentage and marriage (no source cited)[707]. Dame de Montferrand et de Vaugrenant. Europäische Stammtafeln records her marriage in 1358[708]. Her husband’s 2 Jul 1391 testament records her distribution of property (presumably by testament) dated Mar 1388 and that she “étoit morte l’an 1389”[709], although Europäische Stammtafeln records her death “nach 1408”[710], which is presumably incorrect. m (1358) ANSEAU de Salins Seigneur de Montferrand, son of DOMENICO de Salins & his wife Isabelle [de la Roche-sur-l’Ognon] (-after 2 Jul 1391, bur Salins Saint-Anatole).

(2) HUGUETTE de Montferrand (posthumously [1351/52]-after 1357).

(b) RICHARD de Montferrand (-murdered Montferrand before 1353). Co-Seigneur de Montferrand.

1. ANSEDEE de Navilly (-before 1073). Abbé Guillaume names “Amedée de Navilley chevalier” as the husband of Ermenburge de Salins but does not cite the corresponding primary source[712]. He is named “Ansedeus” (deceased) in the 1073 charter of his son Humbert quoted below. m ERMENBURGE de Salins, daughter of HUMBERT [II] Seigneur des Salins & his wife Ermenburge --- (-5 Apr, before 27 Dec 1087). The necrology of Besançon cathedral records the death in Apr “E” of “Ermenburga soror H. Archiep.”[713]. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 27 Dec 1087 under which [her son] “Guichardus eiusdem ecclesiæ canonicus et archidiaconus” donated property inherited from “matris meæ Ermenburgæ...avus meus genitor eius Humbertus...Salinis”, and which “frater meus Humbertus” later granted him, to Besançon Saint-Etienne, the same charter recording that later “Gualcherius avunculi eius Gualcherii filius”, anticipating his inheritance from the donor, claimed the property from the church but that “Gualcherius et filii mei Humbertus et Hugo” confirmed the donation[714]. Amédée & his wife had two children:

a) HUMBERT de Navilly (-killed after 1073). “Humbertus Medullensis castri et Naviliensis dominus et rector et Wicardus frater meus germanus, canonicus Bisuntinæ ecclesiæ et archidiaconus, et uxor mea Ragunoldis” donated “ecclesiam villæ...Pons Dubii [Pontoux] in honore beati Laurentii”, built by “pater meus Ansedeus”, supported by “filiorum meorum Ansedei, Humberti, Hugonis, et item Hugonis”, by charter dated 1073, which records that later (“aliquanto tempore post suprascriptam donationem transacto”) “memoratus Humbertus” was killed, after which “uxor illius Raimodis et filii eius Ansedeus, Humbertus et Hugo” confirmed the donation “pro susceptione Hugonis fratris sui, quem pater, ad serviendum Deo in monacho habitu, deputaverat...apud Wichardum patruum eorum”, naming as guarantors “Jotcerannum de Capella, Ansedeum de Belloforte, Hugonem filium Alberti de Nefblans, Odilonem de castello...Marca”[715]. “Guichardus eiusdem ecclesiæ canonicus et archidiaconus” donated property inherited from “matris meæ Ermenburgæ...avus meus genitor eius Humbertus...Salinis”, and which “frater meus Humbertus” later granted him, to Besançon Saint-Etienne by charter dated 27 Dec 1087[716]. m RAIMODIS, daughter of --- (-after 1096). She is named “Ragunoldis...Raimodis” in her husband’s 1073 charter quoted above. She is named in the 1096 charter quoted below. Humbert & his wife had [seven] children:

Assuming that Brunisende was the mother of Gauthier who is named below, his inheritance of the seigneurie de Navilly suggests that she was may have been heiress of Navilly. If that is correct, Brunisende may have been related to the earlier seigneurs de Navilly who are named above. Maybe she was related to Hugues, “nepos” of Ansedée, who is named above. “Stephanus Nebulensis...et uxor sua Brunessenz” donated “in Navilliense territorio locum...Moncels...” to La Ferté-sur-Grosne, with the consent of “filiis suis”, by charter dated to [1142/44][729]. “Domina Brunissenz”, after the death of “mariti sui Stephani Nebulensis”, donated a mill to La Ferté-sur-Grosne, with the consent of “Galterio domino Navillensi”, by charter dated to [1142/58][730].

This charter suggests that Gauthier was the son of Etienne de Neublans who is named above. The primary source which confirms that this hypothesis is correct has not been identified. “Galterius Navillensis castri dominus”, on his deathbed, donated “cundaminam en la Linnai inter Sablonam et fluvium de Du...” to La Ferté-sur-Grosne, with the consent of “uxore sua ---”, by charter dated to [before 1158][733].] m MATHILDE de la Ferté, daughter of GOSBERT [II] Rufus de Châtillon & his wife Lucie de Beaune (-after 1145).

Two brothers. The primary source which confirms their parentage has not been identified. The name of Hugues’s oldest son suggests that they may have been sons of Etienne de Neublans (died after [1142/44]) who is named above.

1. HUGUES de Neublans (-after [1158/59]). Seigneur de Neublans. “Guido de Nores et Bartholomeus et Garnerius filii eius” donated “territorium de Clus” to La Ferté-sur-Grosne, with the consent of “Hugone Nebulensis castro domino...uxore sua et filiis suis Stephano et Philippo, Gaulterio”, by charter dated to [1158][747]. “Hugo de Paluhel et...Theobaldus de Rocha” donated “villam Chiliaci” to La Ferté-sur-Grosne, with the consent of “uxoribus nostris Andrea...et Margarita filiabus Gualterii domini castri Navilliaci...Hugo de Neblens et Symon de Chalcins frater eius”, by charter dated to [1158/59][748]. m --- (-after [1158]).

The primary sources which confirm the descent of the following persons from the earlier seigneur de Neublans have not been identified, although the repetition of the names Hugues and Etienne does suggest a family connection.

1. HUGUES de Neublans (-after 13 Dec 1263). Seigneur de Neublans. “Hugues sire de Neublans...Estevenot de Neublans son fils et...Marguerite sa femme” pledged “la moitié de la châtellenie de Glenne” to “Jean seigneur de Châtillon-en-Bazois” by charter dated 1253[755]. “Guillaumes de Neblans sires de Belchemin, fils mom seignor Jehant de Neblans çai en arriers seignor de Belchemin” swore homage to “Hugom conte palazin de Borgoigne et à...Alis...sa feme” in respect of property “à Annores”, except respecting his obligations to “Hugom seignor de Neblans”, with the consent of “Estaine mon frère”, by charter dated May 1254[756]. “Hugues sire de Neublans” granted privileges to the inhabitants of Neublans, with the consent of “Etienne et de Richard ses fils”, by charter dated 1256[757]. “Hugon sires de Neblans” instructed “as hoirs d’Arguel” to swear homage to “Hugon conte palatin de Borgoigne et à contesse palazine de Borgoigne sa feme” for “lo fief d’Arguel” by charter dated 13 Dec 1263[758]. m MARGUERITE, daughter of --- (-after 1253). “Hugues sire de Neublans...Estevenot de Neublans son fils et...Marguerite sa femme” pledged “la moitié de la châtellenie de Glenne” to “Jean seigneur de Châtillon-en-Bazois” by charter dated 1253[759].

Chapter 11. SEIGNEURS d’OISELAY

Oiselay, now called Oiselay-et-Gracheux, is located about 10 kilometres north of Besançon and 20 kilometres south-west of Vesoul, in the present-day French département of Haute-Saône, arrondissement Vesoul, canton Gy.

ETIENNE [I] d'Oiselay, [illegitimate] son of ETIENNE [III] d’Auxonne Comte d’Auxonne & his second [wife] Blandine de Cicon ([1196/99]-after May 1269, bur Abbaye de La Charité). His birth date is estimated from the reference in Courcelles who says that Etienne’s father married “Blandine de Cicon”, having learned of his consanguinity with his first wife Beatrix de Chalon, before that first marriage was annulled, the nullity of both marriages being declared subsequently[768]. These events appear to have occurred in [1196/99]. “Stephanus comes Burgundiæ” granted property “apud Sistum et Fresne Sancti Mammeris et Torreres et Novamvillam” to “Stephano filio meo de Blandina de Cicons” and “Blandina mater eiusdem Stephani...quamdiu vivet”, provided that she would retain only half “si...capere maritum voluerit”, with the consent of “Iohannes filius meus”, by charter dated Nov 1208[769]. “Etienne comte de Bourgogne” granted “le château d’Oiselay, le quart du château de Jussey, la garde de Bonnevent, les fiefs de Traves excepté deux de Faucogney, de Rougemont et de Fouvent, la forteresse de Cordiron...” to “Etienne son fils” by charter dated 1237[770]. “Stephanus dominus de Oyseler” confirmed allegiance to “fratris mei Iohannis comitis Burgundiæ et domini Salinensis” for “castrum meum de Oyselet” granted to him by “bonæ memoriæ patris mei comitis Stephani” by charter dated 1241[771]. “Stephanus dominus d’Oiseler” donated “molendinum meum de Fresne Mamerti” to La Charité, with the consent of “uxore mea Clementia et Iohanne filio meo”, by charter dated 1242[772]. “Jean comte de Bourgongne et seigneur de Salins” granted “en augmentation de fief...la garde de la Charité” to “son...frere Estienne seigneur d’Oiseler” by charter dated Mar 1243 (O.S.?)[773]. “Jean cuens de Bourgongne et sire de Salins” granted rights relating “au puits de Leon” to “Estevenon son frere” by charter dated Feb 1250 (O.S.?)[774]. “Jehanz cuens de Borgoigne et sires de Salins” notified that “Estaines sires d’Oiseler nostre frères” had promised “Hugon conte palazin de Borgoigne nostre fil et à Alis...sa feme” not to construct a castle “ne el terretoire d’Abenans” by charter dated Jan 1256[775]. “Estienes sires d’Oiseler…et mon...nevou Symon de Jonville signour de Jayz” agreed that “Blaterens” should form part of the “signorie dou chesteal d’Arlay et dou chesteal de L’Estoille” held from “dame Lore çay en arriers fille mons. Symon de Commercey...derniere fame [de] [...mon...frere Jehan çay en arriers conte de Bourgoigne et signour de Salins” by charter dated May 1269[776]. According to Bouchard, he and his brother Simon were sons of their father's second or third marriages[777], but, in the case of Etienne, this is disproved by the charter dated Nov 1208 which is quoted above. Seigneur de Joinville, seneschal of Champagne[778].

m ([1225/40?]) CLEMENCE de Faucogney, daughter of AIMON de Rougemont Seigneur de Faucogney Vicomte de Vesoul & his wife Elisabeth --- (-4 Dec 1267). “Stephanus dominus d’Oiseler” donated “molendinum meum de Fresne Mamerti” to La Charité, with the consent of “uxore mea Clementia et Iohanne filio meo”, by charter dated 1242[779]. The necrology of La Charité records the death “11 Non Dec” 1267 of “Clementia de Faucogney domina de Oyselet”[780]. The primary source which confirms her parentage more precisely has not been identified. The date of Clémence’s marriage is difficult to assess as the chronological data concerning the Faucogney family is not precise enough to draw safe conclusions about her date of birth.

Etienne [I] & his wife had [six] children:.

1. ETIENNE [II] d’Oiselay ([1230/40]-[1274/79]). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified, although his succession to the seigneurie d’Oiselay indicates that he was the oldest son of Etienne [I]. Seigneur d’Oiselay. Abbé Guillaume names “Etienne Sire d’Oiselet” when recording his marriage to “Yolande de Choiseul, fille de Rainier...Sire de Choiseul...et d’Alix de Dreux”, widow of Jean Seigneur de Ray, and states that he and his wife are named in a charter of La Charité dated 1274[781]. Etienne was presumably deceased in 1279 when his brother Guillaume swore allegiance (see below). [m firstly ---. No direct evidence of this supposed first marriage has been found, but [1264/74], date of his marriage to his known wife Yolande de Choiseul, would be late for a first marriage if Etienne was born during the early part of his estimated birth date range shown above.] m [secondly] ([1264/74]) as her second husband, YOLANDE de Choiseul, widow of JEAN Seigneur de Ray, daughter of RAYNARD [II] Seigneur de Choiseul & his second wife Alix de Dreux ([1225/35]-[5 Dec 1310], bur La Charité). “Jean sire de Choiseul et d’Aigremont” confirmed a donation, with the consent of “Bertremette dite Alix dame d’Aigremont sa femme et de ses frères Renard trésorier de Reims et Robert damoiseau, de ses sœurs Yoleas femme de Jean de Ray et Agnes”, by charter dated Aug 1252[782]. Abbé Guillaume records that “Ottenin ou Othes Sire de Ray chevalier” confirmed “avec Yolande Dame de Ray sa mère” the donation of “[les] dîmes de Membrey”, made to Bellevaux abbey by “Jean de Ray son père”, by charter dated 1264[783]. Abbé Guillaume notes her second marriage to “Etienne Sire d’Oiselet” and records that she and her second husband are named in a charter of La Charité dated 1274[784]. Abbé Guillaume states that Yolande died 5 Dec 1310 and was buried at “l’abbaye de la Charité” where an epitaph records the burial of “domina Yoland de Choisuel, domina d’Oiselet”[785]. Abbé Guillaume does not quote her supposed date of death as forming part of this epitaph, which leaves open the question of the source which confirms the date.

2. GUILLAUME d’Oiselay ([1230/40]-after 1279). “Dame Lore femme ça en arriere de...Iean Comte de Bourgongne et seigneur de Salins” declared that “Guillaume d’Oiseler son...nier fils de...Estienne seigneur d’Oiselet son...frere” had become “son homme lige”, by charter dated 1279[786]. [Seigneur d’Oiselay: no primary source has been found which accords this title to Guillaume, although his swearing allegiance in 1279 suggests that he had recently succeeded as head of the family.] The absence of sources naming Guillaume after 1279 suggests that he died soon afterwards. m as her frst husband, MARGUERITE de Vienne, daughter of [HUGUES de Vienne Seigneur de Pagny & his wife Alix ---] ([1245/50]-Sep 1290, bur Dijon Eglise des Jacobins). In relation to the children of Hugues de Vienne Seigneur de Pagny, Plancher notes that “quelques mémoires y ajoutent une fille...Marguerite de Vienne femme de Guillaume Baron d’Oiselet, et fils aîné d’Etienne Sire d’Oiselet” to whom her father gave “la terre et le fief de Charencey”[787]. Plancher’s text suggests the absence of surviving primary sources which confirm Marguerite’s parentage and marriages. She married secondly ([after 1279]) Guillaume Seigneur de Saulx. Europáische Stammtafeln records her second marriage[788]. Père Anselme records Marguerite’s marriage to Guillaume Seigneur de Saulx, but names another daughter Agathe as the wife of Guillaume Seigneur d’Oiselay[789]. The primary sources which confirm Marguerite’s parentage and marriages more precisely have not been identified. An epitaph at Dijon Eglise des Jacobins records the burial of “Marguerite Dame de Sauz fille le Comte de Vienne” who died Sep 1290 [790]. Guillaume & his wife had one child:

a) ETIENNE [III] d’Oiselay ([1260/75]-19 Aug 1324, bur la Charité). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified, although his apparent succession (and the succession of his descendants) to the seigneurie d’Oiselay suggests that Etienne [III] was the son of Guillaume d’Oiselay. Seigneur d’Oiselay.

- see below.

3. [JEAN d’Oiselay ([1240/50]-). His date of birth, estimated from the date of his marriage, suggests that he was a younger son of Etienne [I] Seigneur d’Oiselay. If that is correct, he was presumably too old to have been the same person as Jean d’Oiselay Seigneur de Flagey who is named below. No indication has been found of the date of Jean’s death or whether he married again after the death of his young wife. m (before 1272) GUILLEMETTE d’Andelot, daughter of GAUTHIER de Coligny-Andelot Seigneur de Montgiffon & his wife Alix de Commercy (-1272 or after, bur Besançon Franciscans). “Guillemette fille de Gaultier d’Andelot chev. et femme de Jn d’Oiselet “Monte avium” damoiseau” appointed “son père...et dame Marguerite d’Andelot sa sœur femme de Pre de Jay chev.” as her heirs, chose burial “en l’église des frères mineurs de Besançon”, and appointed “son père et Gauthier de Chateauvillain son oncle” as executors, under her testament dated 1272[791].]

4. [--- d’Oiselay . The chronology of the lives of the siblings Jean and Clémence suggests that they were grandchildren of Etienne [I] Seigneur d’Oiselay. If that is correct, their father could have been either Guillaume or Jean d’Oiselay (the latter by an as yet unidentified second marriage) who are named above, or another unidentified younger son.] m ---. The mother of Jean and his sister(s) has not been identified. No record has been found of Jean’s property Flagey being held by the Oiselay family before Jean, which suggests that it could have been inherited from his mother. [Three] children:

a) JEAN d’Oiselay ([1260/69]-6 May 1313). The order of names in the 3 May 1301 charter quoted below indicate that Jean was older than his [cousins] Etienne Seigneur de La Villeneuve and Etienne Seigneur d’Oiselay. Seigneur de Flagey. The testament of [his sister] “Clemence d’Oyseler, femme ça en arriers mon soigneur Amey soigneur d’Arguel et de Rosoy”, dated 6 Mar 1296 (O.S.), appointed “mon...frere mon saignour Jahan d’Oyseler soigneur de Flagey, mon soigneur Henri de Faucoigney tresorier de Besançon...” as executors[792]. Philippe IV King of France issued a guarantee to “...Jehans d’Oiseler sires de Flagey chevaliers...Estiene d’Oiseler signour de Vilenueve, et Estevenet signour d’Oyseler escuier” (and other barons in Burgundy) relating to war in the county of Burgundy by charter dated 3 May 1301[793]. “Jehans d’Oiseler sires de Flagey” swore homage to “Jeham de Chalon signour d’Arlay” for revenues “de la salnerie de Salins” by charter dated 18 Jan 1303[794]. “...Jean d’Oiselet Sire de Flagey...Etienne d’Oiselet Sire de la Villeneuve...” were among the members of the league of the barons of the county of Burgundy who transferred “la forteresse de Châteauvillain” to “Jean d’Oiselet chevalier, représentant le seigneur d’Arlay” by charter dated 1303 and renewed homage by charter dated 1308[795]. An epitaph in the church of la Charité records the death “le mardi après la feste S. Jaiques et de S. Philippe I may” 1313 of “messi Jehans d’Oiseler sires de Flagey”[796]. m HEDWIGE de Bauffremont, daughter of LIEBAUD [IV] Seigneur de Bauffremont & his [second] wife Adéline d’Epinal (-after May 1310). Europäische Stammtafeln records her parentage and marriage, dating the marriage to “after 1272” which is anachronistic considering her husband’s suggested date of birth[797]. The primary source which confirms her precise parentage has not been identified. She is named in the charter dated 1325 quoted below. Jean & his wife had two children:

i) GUILLAUME d’Oiselay (-before 1343). His parentage is confirmed by Abbé Guillaume, cited below. Seigneur de Flagey. m ([1325]) as her first husband, ALIX de Salins, daughter of DOMINIQUE de Salins & his wife Isabelle [de la Roche-sur-Ognon dame de Marchaut]. Abbé Guillaume records her parentage and two marriages, noting that “les deniers de son [premier] mariage furent assignés, l’an 1325, sur la terre de Chasoy”, dating her second marriage to “avant l’an 1343”, and noting that her two sons by her second marriage, Jean and Guillaume Grasset, were beneficiaries under the testament of their maternal uncle Anseau[798]. She married secondly (before 1343) Guillaume Grasset de Chasoy.

ii) ETIENNETTE d’Oiselay . Europäische Stammtafeln records her parentage and marriage[799]. This information has not been verified. Dame de Flagey. m THIBAUT Seigneur de Cusance, son of GUY Seigneur de Cusance & his wife Marguerite de Neuchâtel.

b) CLEMENCE d’Oiselay (-after 6 Mar 1297, bur Besançon Dominican Church). The testament of “Clemence d’Oyseler, femme ça en arriers mon soigneur Amey soigneur d’Arguel et de Rosoy”, dated 6 Mar 1296 (O.S.), appointed as her heirs “mes anfanz, lesquelx je hai hau dou devant dit Amey...Guillaume, Estevenet, Jaquet, Perrin et Odin clerc”, chose burial “deanz le mostier es freres Precheurs de Besançon”, provided dowries for “Ysebel et a Katherine mes filles por lor marier”, and appointed “mon...frere mon saignour Jahan d’Oyseler soigneur de Flagey, mon soigneur Henri de Faucoigney tresorier de Besançon...” as executors[800]. The date of her marriage is assessed based on her having at least seven children before her husband died. m ([1275/80]) AMEDEE Seigneur d’Arguel, son of GERARD Seigneur d’Arguel & his wife Beatrix de Montfaucon (-15 Mar 90, bur Besançon Saint-Etienne). An epitaph at Besançon Saint-Etienne records the death “Id Mar” 1289 (O.S.) of “Amedeus miles dominus de Arguello”[801]. The necrology of Besançon Saint-Etienne records the death “III Id Mar” of “Amedeus dominus de Erguello miles” and the donation made by “Jacobus eius filius” for his anniversary[802].

c) [--- d’Oiselay . Her parentage and marriage are indicated by the following document: [her son] “Girars de Vuaites escuiers fiz çay en arriers mons. Pierre de Vaites” swore homage to “Jehans de Chalon sires d’Allay” for property “en terretoire de Cheonville et de Loreville”, naming “Jehans mes freres”, by charter dated Feb 1304, sealed by “mon...uncle mons. Jeham d’Oyseler signour de Flagey”[803]. m PIERRE de Vaites, son of --- (-before Feb 1304).]

5. [--- d’Oiselay . The chronology of the life of Etienne [IV] suggests that he was the grandchild of Etienne [I] Seigneur d’Oiselay. If that is correct, his father could have been Jean d’Oiselay (by an as yet unidentified second marriage) or another unidentified younger son. It is unlikely that he was the son of Guillaume d’Oiselay, whose supposed son named Etienne succeeded as Seigneur d’Oiselay as shown above, as there is no apparent pattern of siblings with the same name in the Oiselay family.] m ---. The mother of Etienne [IV] has not been identified. No record has been found of Etienne’s property La Villeneuve being held by the Oiselay family before the late 13th/early 14th centuries, which suggests that it could have been inherited from his mother. One child:

a) ETIENNE [IV] d’Oiselay ([1260/70]-4 Oct 1310). Seigneur de La Villeneuve. A mutual aid pact was agreed between local nobility, including “...Etienne d’Oiseler sire de la Villeneuve...”, by charter dated Feb 1293 (O.S.)[804]. Philippe IV King of France issued a guarantee to “...Jehans d’Oiseler sires de Flagey chevaliers...Estiene d’Oiseler signour de Vilenueve, et Estevenet signour d’Oyseler escuier” (and other barons in Burgundy) relating to war in the county of Burgundy by charter dated 3 May 1301[805]. The order of names indicates that Etienne [IV] was younger than his [cousin] Jean. “Etienne d’Oiselay sr de La Villeneuve” granted “le château et la forteresse de La Villeneuve” to “son filleul et neveu [son of his first cousin, if the reconstruction shown here is correct] Estevenot fils d’Etienne d’Oiselay”, retaining only “le domaine de sa femme Alix de Choiseul”, by charter dated 1302[806]. An undated addition listed in the same group of documents noted that “Etienne d’Oiselay chevalier sr de La Villeneuve” retook in fief “toute la part qui lui avait été adjugée dans leurs partages” from “son neveu Estevenot d’Oiselay, sieur dudit lieu”[807]. “...Jean d’Oiselet Sire de Flagey...Etienne d’Oiselet Sire de la Villeneuve...” were among the members of the league of the barons of the county of Burgundy who transferred “la forteresse de Châteauvillain” to “Jean d’Oiselet chevalier, représentant le seigneur d’Arlay” by charter dated 1303 and renewed homage by charter dated 1308[808]. “Estienes d’Oyseler sires de La Vile Nueve” acted as pledge for “Jehan de Cotenans escuier” by charter dated 11 Jun 1304[809]. Europäische Stammtafeln indicates Etienne’s date of death as shown above but the corresponding primary source has not been identified[810]. m firstly (before 1302) ALIX de Choiseul, daughter of --- (-before Aug 1310, maybe [1303, bur Morimond]). “Etienne d’Oiselay sr de La Villeneuve” granted “le château et la forteresse de La Villeneuve” to “son filleul et neveu Estevenot fils d’Etienne d’Oiselay”, retaining only “le domaine de sa femme Alix de Choiseul”, by charter dated 1302[811]. Alix’s parentage is uncertain. Europäische Stammtafeln names “Alix (Yolande) de Choiseul, widow of Jean de Ray, daughter of Jean [I] †1303” as the wife of Etienne [IV] d’Oiselay Seigneur de La Villeneuve[812]. That is incorrect as Jean de Ray’s widow married Etienne [II] Seigneur d’Oiselay as shown above. Faget de Casteljau indicates that Alix, wife of Etienne [IV], was the daughter of Jean [I] Seigneur de Choiseul, but a different daughter from Alix whose marriage to Guy de La Ferté-sur-Amance is shown in CHAMPAGNE NOBILITY[813]. Faget presumably relies on Père Anselme who records that “Etienne Sire d’Oiselet chevalier” and his wife Alix “fille du noble baron Jean sire de Choiseul” sold “la moitié d’un moulin, situé au finage de Dampierre” to Morimond by charter dated 1291[814]. However, as discussed below, mistaking “Etienne d’Oiselet seigneur de La Villeneuve” for “Etienne Sire d’Oiselet chevalier” would represent a major error on the part of Père Anselme who is generally accurate in recording primary sources which he has seen. Until further information comes to light, the existence of two different individuals named Alix de Choiseul, one married to Etienne [III] Seigneur d’Oiselay, the other to Etienne [IV] d’Oiselay Seigneur de La Villeneuve, is assumed. Several possibilities can be suggested for the correct parentage of the wife of Etienne [IV]: (1) an otherwise unrecorded daughter of Jean [II] Seigneur de Chosieul by a suggested first marriage (the possibility of which is discussed in CHAMPAGNE NOBILITY); (2) a daughter of either Renier [I] or Raynard de Choiseul, younger sons of Jean [I] Seigneur de Choiseul; (3) a daughter of Robert de Choiseul Seigneur de Traves, son of Raynard [II] Seigneur de Choiseul. [A letter dated 4 Feb 1661, which records epitaphs then in the church of Morimond, includes “Dame Alix de Choiseul femme de Monseigneur Estienne d’Oyselet“ who died 1301 “Alias: 1303”[815]. It is uncertain whether this entry refers to the wife of Etienne [IV]. The reference to “Monseigneur” suggests that the husband of the deceased may have been Seigneur d’Oiselay. If that is correct, the epitaph could refer to the wife of Etienne [III]. Père Anselme says that Alix, wife of Etienne [III], died in 1303, presumably relying on the epitaph[816].] Alix presumably died before Aug 1310, the date of her husband’s second marriage. m secondly ([[1303]/31 Aug 1310]) as her first husband, JACQUETTE de Grandson, daughter of JACQUES de Grandson Seigneur de Belmont & his wife --- (-after Feb 1314). Her parentage and first marriage are confirmed by the following document: “Etienne d’Oiselay seigneur de La Villeneuve” acknowledged receipt of 2,500 livres tournois assigned on “Châtel de Fresne-Saint-Mamès and the villages of Neuvelle, Pont-de-Planches and La Villeneuve” for his marriage to “his wife Jaquette de Grandson, daughter of Jacques de Grandson seigneur de Belmont” by charter dated 31 Aug 1310[817]. This charter is reported by two secondary sources: Beauséjour (closely following the original text) records that “Etienne d’Oiselay seigneur de la Villeneuve” acknowledged having received money assigned “sur le chastel de Fresne-Saint-Mamès...” for his marriage with “Jacquette de Grandson, fille de Jacques de Grandson seigneur de Belmont” by charter dated 31 Aug 1310[818]. On the other hand, Plancher diverges from the text, recording that “Jacques de Granson” granted revenue from “la terre et le château de Fresne-Saint-Mammetz” to “[sa] fille Jacques” on her marriage to “Etienne d’Oiselet Seigneur de la Villeneuve” by charter dated “le jeudi après la S. Barthelemi” 1310[819]. The earliest date of Jacquette’s first marriage is indicated by her first husband’s first wife being recorded in 1302 (see above). “Etienne d’Oiselet sire de la Villeneuve” granted dower to “Jacquette de Grantson sa femme”, undated but listed in a paragraph recording papers dated 1310-1584[820]. She married secondly Jean de Bayon. Abbé Guillaume records that “Jacquette de Granson”, daughter of “Jacques de Granson Seigneur de Beaumont, vivant en 1300”, married firstly “Etienne d’Oiselet Sire de la Villeneuve, veuf d’Alix de Choiseul” and secondly “Jean de Boyon chevalier qui vendit Feb 1313 [O.S.?] conjointément avec sa femme à Hugues Duc de Bourgogne le château de Fresne-Saint-Mammers”[821]. The primary source which confirms her second marriage has not been identified.

6. MARGUERITE d’Oiselay (-after 29 Oct 1287). Her parentage and two marriages are shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[822]. Faget de Casteljau names her “Marguerite d’Oiselay” when recording the charter dated 29 Oct 1287, quoted below[823]. The primary source which confirms her parentage has not been identified. Père Anselme states that “Guy de Joinville seigneur de Sailly“ donated “vingt sols de rente” to Ecurey, with the consent of “sa femme Marguerite”, by charter dated 1274 (no source citation)[824]. Her two marriages are confirmed by the following document: “Guis de Jenville sires de Sailley...cum Marguerite ma feme qui fut feme mon signor Phelippe de Chaunerei” sold “Meleir“ to Thibaut Comte de Bar by charter dated 29 Oct 1287[825]. m firstly as his second wife, PHILIPPE Seigneur de Chavirey, son of --- (-1270). m secondly (before 1274) GUY de Joinville Seigneur de Sailly, son of ROBERT de Joinville Seigneur de Sailly & his wife Aufélis --- (-after Aug 1304).

No indication has been found of the parentage of the following persons:

1. AIMON d’Oiselay . [Seigneur d’Oiselay: he is accorded this title in the 4 May 1336 testament quoted below, but no other record has been found of a Seigneur d’Oiselay of this name.] m ---. The name of Aimon’s wife is not known. Aimon & his wife had one child:

a) HUGUES d’Oiselay (-before 4 May 1336). He is named as deceased in the 4 May 1336 testament quoted below. m ---. The name of Hugues’s wife is not known. Hugues & his wife had one child:

i) PIERRE d’Oiselay . The testament of “Johannes dictus Kaiilez, de Ruppibus prope Monten...”, dated 4 May 1336, appointed “domno Petro de Monte avium, filio quondam Hugueneti, filii domini Haymonis de Monte avium, quondam militis” to “capellaniam...ad...Sancti Nycholay”[826].

2. GERARD d’Oiselay (-[after 7 Sep 1349]). The testament of “Renauda de Monte avium domina de Freteigneyo”, dated 7 Sep 1349, refers to land she held from “Gerardo de Monte avium”[827]. It is unclear from the text whether Gérard was still alive at that date or to which generation of the Oiselay family he belonged.

3. AIMON d’Oiselay (-Akrotiri 1316). Commander of the Templars in Burgundy. Marshal of the Knights Templars: “Aymo de Monte Avium...marescalcus dicte milicie ac tenens locum domini nostri magistri in partibus cismarinis” issued a letter dated 20 Oct 1306[828].

ETIENNE [III] d’Oiselay, son of GUILLAUME d’Oiselay & his wife Marguerite de Vienne ([1260/75]-before 3 May 1301, bur la Charité). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified, although his apparent succession (and the succession of his descendants) to the seigneurie d’Oiselay suggests that Etienne [III] was the son of Guillaume d’Oiselay. The only document so far identified which names Etienne [III] is the charter dated 1302 quoted below in which he is named as father of Etienne [V]. [Seigneur d’Oiselay: no primary source has been identified which names him as such. However, the absence of sources naming his father Guillaume after 1279 suggests that Etienne [III] succeeded as Seigneur d’Oiselay soon afterwards.] Etienne [III] presumably died before 3 May 1301, the date of a guarantee issued by Philippe IV King of France to “...Jehans d’Oiseler sires de Flagey chevaliers...Estiene d’Oiseler signour de Vilenueve, et Estevenet signour d’Oyseler escuier” (and other barons in Burgundy) relating to war in the county of Burgundy[829]. It is unlikely that Etienne [III] was the third named individual as by that time he was too old still to have been “escuier”. This suggested date of death is corroborated by the charter dated 17 Aug 1305 quoted below, under which “Estevenez sires d’Oyseler” swore homage to “Jeham de Chalon signour d’Arlay” for “le chestel d’Oiseler”, a renewal of homage which would have been necessary if the person named had recently succeeded as seigneur. Etienne [III]’s place of burial is confirmed by the testament of his daughter Renaude (see below).

m (before 1291) [ALIX de Choiseul, daughter of [JEAN [I] Seigneur de Choiseul & his [first] wife Bartholomette [Alix] d’Aigremont] (-[1301, bur Morimond]). There is some doubt about the wife of Etienne [III]. Père Anselme records that “Etienne Sire d’Oiselet chevalier” and his wife Alix “fille du noble baron Jean sire de Choiseul” sold “la moitié d’un moulin, situé au finage de Dampierre” to Morimond by charter dated 1291[830]. Anselme indicates that Alix was the daughter of Jean [I] Seigneur de Choiseul. However, he ignores Jean [I]’s daughter Alix whose marriage to Guy de La Ferté-sur-Amance is recorded in other sources (see the document CHAMPAGNE NOBILITY). Other cases are known of siblings bearing the same name, although the practice was uncommon and was often associated with particular families (no other cases have been noted in the Choiseul family). The original Morimond charter has not been seen, but Père Anselme is generally reliable in recording primary source data and there appears no reason to doubt his accuracy in this case. Many secondary sources name “Yolande de Choiseul” as the wife of Etienne [III], which appears to confuse her with the wife of Etienne’s paternal uncle Etienne [II] (see above). Nevertheless the names Renaud/Renaude given to two of Etienne [III]’s children, similar to “Raynard” a name typical of the Choiseul family, suggests a Choiseul ancestry for his wife. Faget de Casteljau shows Alix named in Anselme’s extract of the 1291 charter as the daughter of Jean [I], but a different daughter from Alix who married Guy de La Ferté-sur-Amance. However, Faget assumes that Etienne [IV] d’Oiselay Seigneur de La Villeneuve, whose wife is named in other sources as “Alix de Choiseul” (see above), was her husband[831]. Etienne [IV] was named in sources exclusively as “Seigneur de La Villeneuve”, never as “Seigneur d’Oiselay” and it appears unlikely that Anselme would have copied part of the Morimond charter incorrectly when he was so precise in reporting the parentage of the donor’s wife. Until further information comes to light, the existence of two different individuals named Alix de Choiseul, one married to Etienne [III] Seigneur d’Oiselay, the other to Etienne [IV] d’Oiselay Seigneur de La Villeneuve, is assumed. A letter dated 4 Feb 1661, which records epitaphs then in the church of Morimond, includes “Dame Alix de Choiseul femme de Monseigneur Estienne d’Oyselet“ who died 1301 “Alias: 1303”[832]. The reference to “Monseigneur” suggests that the husband of the deceased may have been Seigneur d’Oiselay. If that is correct, the epitaph could refer to the wife of Etienne [III], but it is also possible that it relates to the first wife of Etienne [IV] d’Oiselay Seigneur de La Villeneuve (see above). Père Anselme says that Alix, wife of Etienne [III], died in 1303, presumably relying on the epitaph[833]. The correct date is more likely to be 1301 considering the probable date of death of her husband.]

Etienne [III] & his wife had six children:

1. ETIENNE [V] d’Oiselay ([1280/90]-1335). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 1302 quoted below. Seigneur d’Oiselay. Philippe IV King of France issued a guarantee to “...Jehans d’Oiseler sires de Flagey chevaliers...Estiene d’Oiseler signour de Vilenueve, et Estevenet signour d’Oyseler escuier” (and other barons in Burgundy) relating to war in the county of Burgundy by charter dated 3 May 1301[834]. As noted above, Etienne [III] was too old in 1301 to have still been “escuier”, so Etienne [V] must therefore have succeeded as seigneur d’Oiselay before that date. Seigneur de La Villeneuve: “Etienne d’Oiselay sr de La Villeneuve” granted “le château et la forteresse de La Villeneuve” to “son filleul et neveu [son of his first cousin, if the reconstruction shown here is correct] Estevenot fils d’Etienne d’Oiselay”, retaining only “le domaine de sa femme Alix de Choiseul”, by charter dated 1302[835]. “Estevenez sires d’Oyseler” swore homage to “Jeham de Chalon signour d’Arlay” for “le chestel d’Oiseler” by charter dated 17 Aug 1305[836]. “Richard de Monnet chevalier...seigneur de Montsaugeon” agreed the marriage contract of “Jean son fils” and “Guyette fille de feu Jean de Thoraise seigneur dudit lieu et de Renaude d’Oiselet”, with the consent of “Etienne Sire d’Oiselet, d’Etevenet d’Oiselet damoiseau son fils...”, by charter dated 1321[837]. “Aimé seigneur de Ray chevalier” declared holding “le château de Ray” in fief from “Etienne d’Oiselay seigneur d’Oiselay, seigneur de La Villeneuve” by charter dated 1323[838]. “Etevenet Sire d’Oiselet” reached agreement with the monks of La Charité by charter dated 1324[839]. The testament of “Guyette de Thoraise...femme de noble damoiseau Jean de Montsaugeon”, dated 1327, named “Etienne d’Oiselet son oncle [her cousin, if the reconstruction shown here is correct]...” as executor[840]. An epitaph at la Charité records the death in 1335 of “dominus Stephanus miles dominus d’Oiseler et Seveul”[841]. m MARGUERITE de Rougemont, daughter of THIBAUT [V] Seigneur de Rougemont & his wife --- (-13 Oct 1350, bur La Charité). Abbé Guillaume records her parentage and marriage to “Etienne Sire d’Oiselet”, adding that she granted her possessions “à Chamblay” to “Béraud d’Andelot chevalier Sire de Cressia” by charter dated 1341[842]. The necrology of La Charité records the death 13 Oct 1350 of “domina Marguareta de Rubeomonte uxor domini Stephani domini Montisavium”[843]. An epitaph at la Charité records the death 13 Oct 1350 of “dame Marguerite de Rougemont dame d’Oiseler, fome d’Estienne seigneur d’Oiseler”[844]. Etienne [V] & his wife had two children:

a) ETIENNE [VI] d’Oiselay (-after 1321). “Richard de Monnet chevalier...seigneur de Montsaugeon” agreed the marriage contract of “Jean son fils” and “Guyette fille de feu Jean de Thoraise seigneur dudit lieu et de Renaude d’Oiselet”, with the consent of “Etienne Sire d’Oiselet, d’Etevenet d’Oiselet damoiseau son fils...”, by charter dated 1321[845].

b) JEAN [I] d’Oiselay (-1372). Seigneur d’Oiselay et de La Villeneuve.

- see below.

2. RENAUDE d’Oiselay (-after 8 Aug 1350, bur la Charité). “Richard de Monnet chevalier...seigneur de Montsaugeon” agreed the marriage contract of “Jean son fils” and “Guyette fille de feu Jean de Thoraise seigneur dudit lieu et de Renaude d’Oiselet”, with the consent of “Etienne Sire d’Oiselet, d’Etevenet d’Oiselet damoiseau son fils...”, by charter dated 1321[846]. The date of Renaude’s marriage is estimated from her having a daughter who was old enough to marry in 1321 and, if correct, suggests that she was one of parents’ older children. The testament of [her daughter] “Guyette de Thoraise...femme de noble damoiseau Jean de Montsaugeon”, dated 1327, appointed as heir “Richard son fils, à qui elle substitue Odon de Thoraise chevalier son oncle”, and named “Etienne d’Oiselet son oncle [her cousin, if the reconstruction shown here is correct], Richard de Montsaugeon père de son mari et Otton de Vaitte chevaliers” as executors[847]. The testament of “Renauda de Monte avium domina de Freteigneyo”, dated 7 Sep 1349, requested burial “in ecclesia monasterii de Caritate juxta tumulum domini Stephani quondam patris mei”, bequeathed property to “domine Ysabelle de Monte avium sorori mee...domine Guillelme sorori mee...Stephaneto, Ottoni, domine Ysabelle et Renaude, liberis quondam Theobaldi de Monte avium fratris mei...religioso viro fratri Renaudo de Monte avium fratri meo, ordinis Sancti Johannis Jerosolimitani”, refers to land she held from “Gerardo de Monte avium”, appointed “consanguineum et filiolum meum...Johannem de Monte avium” as her universal heir[848]. The absence of reference to Renaude’s children in the testament suggests that they predeceased her. m ([before 1300]) JEAN de Thoraise, son of --- de Thoraise [Montferrand?] & his wife --- (-before 1321).

3. THIBAUT d’Oiselay (-before 7 Sep 1349). Seigneur de Cordiron. He is named as deceased in the 7 Sep 1349 testament of his sister Renaude. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Thibaut’s wife has not been identified. Thibaut & his wife had four children:

a) ETIENNE d’Oiselay (-after 17 May 1366). The testament of “Renauda de Monte avium domina de Freteigneyo”, dated 7 Sep 1349, bequeathed property to “...Stephaneto, Ottoni, domine Ysabelle et Renaude, liberis quondam Theobaldi de Monte avium fratris mei...”[849]. Seigneur de Cordiron.

b) OTHON d’Oiselay . The testament of “Renauda de Monte avium domina de Freteigneyo”, dated 7 Sep 1349, bequeathed property to “...Stephaneto, Ottoni, domine Ysabelle et Renaude, liberis quondam Theobaldi de Monte avium fratris mei...”[851].

4. RENAUD d’Oiselay (-after 7 Sep 1349). Knight of St. John of Jerusalem. The testament of “Renauda de Monte avium domina de Freteigneyo”, dated 7 Sep 1349, bequeathed property to “...religioso viro fratri Renaudo de Monte avium fratri meo, ordinis Sancti Johannis Jerosolimitani”[854].

5. ISABELLE d’Oiselay (-after 7 Sep 1349). The testament of “Renauda de Monte avium domina de Freteigneyo”, dated 7 Sep 1349, bequeathed property to “domine Ysabelle de Monte avium sorori mee...domine Guillelme sorori mee...”[855].

6. GUILLELME d’Oiselay (-after 7 Sep 1349). The testament of “Renauda de Monte avium domina de Freteigneyo”, dated 7 Sep 1349, bequeathed property to “domine Ysabelle de Monte avium sorori mee...domine Guillelme sorori mee...”[856].

JEAN [I] d’Oiselay, son of ETIENNE [V] Seigneur d’Oiselay & his wife Marguerite de Rougemont (-1372). Seigneur d’Oiselay et de La Villeneuve. [The testament of “Renauda de Monte avium domina de Freteigneyo”, dated 7 Sep 1349, appointed “consanguineum et filiolum meum...Johannem de Monte avium” as her universal heir[857]. The beneficiary under this testament may have been Jean or his son of the same name.]

m ([after Jan 1345]) ISABELLE de Villersexel, daughter JEAN de Faucogney Seigneur de Villersexel & his wife Marguerite de Clairvaux (-1368). The testament of “domini Humberti de Vilario Saixel militis quondam domini de castro de Joux”, dated end-Jan 1345, made bequests to “Ysabelle et Guillelmete sororibus meis”[858].

Chapter 12. SEIGNEURS de PESMES

Pesmes is situated in the present-day French département of Haute-Saône, arrondissement Vesoul, canton Marnay, on the right bank of the river Ognon. The history of the family of the seigneurs de Pesmes was studied in the late 19th century by Perchet[869].

1. GUILLAUME [V] de Pesmes (-after May 1327). Seigneur de Pesmes. The testament of Guillaume Seigneur de Pesmes, dated “le dimanche avant la fête de l’Ascension de l’an 1327”, appointed “Jeannette de Pesmes sa fille mariée à Othe de Grandson” as his heir and named “Gilles de Courcelles son épouse...” among his executors[870]. m GILLE de Courcelles, daughter of ---. The testament of Guillaume Seigneur de Pesmes, dated “le dimanche avant la fête de l’Ascension de l’an 1327”, appointed “Jeannette de Pesmes sa fille mariée à Othe de Grandson” as his heir and named “Gilles de Courcelles son épouse...” among his executors[871]. Guillaume [V] & his wife had one child:

a) JEANNE de Pesmes (-after 7 Sep 1349, bur Pesmes). Perchet states that “la promesse de mariage” between Othon de Grandson and Jeanne de Pesmes was dated 1323[872]. The testament of Guillaume Seigneur de Pesmes, dated “le dimanche avant la fête de l’Ascension de l’an 1327”, appointed “Jeannette de Pesmes sa fille mariée à Othe de Grandson” as his heir and named “Gilles de Courcelles son épouse...” among his executors[873]. The testament of “Johanna domina de Grandisono”, dated 7 Sep 1349, requested burial “in ecclesia beati Ylarii de Pesmis”, appointed as her universal heir “filium meum Jacobum de Grandisono filiumque eciam domini Otthonis domni de Grandisono militis, domicellum”, and appointed “maritum meum...Otthonem dominum de Grandisono” as executor, witnessed by “Johanne Humberto de Grandisono canonico Bisuntino et Lausanensi...Johanne dicto Le Bastard filio Theobaldo de Grandisono...”[874]. m (contract 1323) as his first wife, OTHON [II] de Grandson, son of PIERRE [II] Seigneur de Grandson & his wife Bonne de Savoie-Vaud (-[1375]).

JACQUES de Grandson, son of OTHON [II] Seigneur de Grandson & his wife Jeanne de Pesmes (-[Jun/19 Dec] 1381, bur Pesmes Saint-Hilaire). The testament of “Johanna domina de Grandisono”, dated 7 Sep 1349, appointed as her universal heir “filium meum Jacobum de Grandisono filiumque eciam domini Otthonis domni de Grandisono militis, domicellum”[875]. He succeeded his mother as Seigneur de Pesmes. “...Jacoz de Grançon signour de Pesmes...Mess. Othes sires de Grançon” are named among fiefholders of the duke of Burgundy in the county of Burgundy in a charter dated 25 Dec 1356[876]. An undated charter, dated to “vers 1375”, records the division of territories agreed between “messire Jacques de Grantson seigneur de Pesmes et messire Hugues de Grantson, frères, enffans de messire Othe seigneur dudit Granson”, under which Jacques received “la terre et seignorie du Puey et de Colmiers”[877].

m (Dijon before 1346) MARGUERITE de Vergy, daughter of GUILLAUME de Vergy Seigneur de Mirebeau et de Bourbonne & his second wife Agnes de Durnay (-1 Nov 1398, bur Theulay). “Marguerite de Vergy Dame de Pesmes mere de noble damoisel Jean de Grandson, Jehanne de Vergy Dame d’Authon et Henrie de Vergy Dame de Fontaines [...auctorisée de son seigneur et mary...Jehan de Vienne Seigneur de Pagny] seurs” shared property of “feu...leur...nepueu Pierre de Bar jadis escuyer trespassé sans hoirs de son corps...en la terre de Pusoye” by charter dated 9 Dec 1386[878]. A parliamentary registry dated 19 Feb 1389 records a claim by “ducem Barensem marquesiam Pontis” against “Ioannam de Vergeyo dominam d’Authon et Margaretam de Vergeyo dominam de Pesmes et...Ioannem de Vienna dominum de Paigny militem et Henrietam de Vergeyo eius uxorem”, naming “Henricus, Ioannes, Erardus et Petrus” as sons of Thibaut II Comte de Bar, “Henricum” as the son of Pierre and “Ysabelli de Vergeyo” as his wife, specifying that “Guillelmus de Vergeyo dominus de Mirabel miles” had “tres filias...Ysabellim, Joannam et Margaretam” by his first marriage[879]. This document indicates that these three daughters of Guillaume de Vergy were born from the same marriage, specified in the document as his first. The date of death of Jeanne suggests that she must have been born from her father’s second marriage. If that is correct, Marguerite as youngest of the three was also the daughter of Guillaume’s second wife. The document specifies that Guillaume’s daughter Marguerite married “defuncto Iacobo de Grançon domino de Pesmes [miles]”. The testament of “Margareta de Vergeyo domina de Pesmis”, dated 10 Jun 1396 published mid-Nov 1398, chose burial “in parrochiali ecclesia de Pesmis” between the bodies of “quondam bone memorie...Jacobi de Grandissono domini de Pesmis...mariti mei et...quondam...Guillelmi filii mei de Grandissono”, bequeathed property to “filie mee Alidi de Grandissono domine de Talemey...filie mee Hugonete de Grandissono domine de Poppeto...”, and appointed “filium meum Johannem de Grandissono” as her heir[880]. An epitaph at Theulay records the burial of “Marguerite de Vergy Dame de Pesmes qui fut femme de...Iean de Gransson chevalier et seigneur dudit lieu” who died “le jour...de Toussaints” 138--[881].

Jacques & his wife had children:

1. JEAN de Grandson (-[10 Jun 1396/29 Dec 1399], maybe killed in battle Nikopolis Sep 1396). Seigneur de Pesmes. “Marguerite de Vergy Dame de Pesmes mere de noble damoisel Jean de Grandson...” shared property of “feu...leur...nepueu Pierre de Bar jadis escuyer trespassé sans hoirs de son corps...en la terre de Pusoye” by charter dated 9 Dec 1386[882]. The testament of “Margareta de Vergeyo domina de Pesmis”, dated 10 Jun 1396 published mid-Nov 1398, appointed “filium meum Johannem de Grandissono” as her heir[883]. Perchet records that Jean de Grandson joined the Burgundian contingent in the expedition against the Turks which ended in defeat at Nikopolis in Sep 1396, where Jean was killed[884]. The primary source which confirms this information has not been identified. A charter dated 29 Dec 1399 lists “des biens demeurés au décès de Jean de Grandson seigneur de Pesmes et de Marguerite de Vergy sa mère”[885]. m as her second husband, CATHERINE de Neuchâtel, widow of GUILLAUME de Ray, daughter of THIEBAUT [VII] Seigneur de Neuchâtel [en Bourgogne] & his wife Marguerite de Bourgogne (-1431). Muller records that Catherine married firstly “Guillaume de Ray” to whom she transmitted “la seigneurie de Nancuise” as dowry[886]: a charter dated 1386 records that “la terre de Nancuse...était baillée à ladite dame” on the marriage of “dame Katherine de Neuchatel femme de messire Guille de Ray”[887]. Her parentage and second marriage are indicated by the testament of [her father] Thiébaut [VII], dated 13 Dec 1400, which names “Thiebault de Neufchastel mon niep fil de feu Thiebault de Neufchastel mon ainsnez filz chevalier et de dame Alix de Vauldemont en la succession de feu mad. dame Marguerite ma femme sa grant mere” and appoints “ma...fille Katherine dame de Pesmes [sa] tante” as his guardian[888]. A charter dated 21 Jun 1429 records “Catherine de Neufchâtel dame de Pesmes, ayant le bail de Jean, Hélyon, Simon, Jeanne, Marguerite et Louise de Grandson, enfants de Guillaume de Grandson et de Jeanne de Vienne” donating property at Bretigny[889]. Jean & his wife had three children:

a) GUILLAUME de Grandson (-1428). Seigneur de Pesmes. The testament of “Auliz de Grantson dame de Nores”, dated 19 Aug 1400 published early Sep 1400, named “mes...nepveurs et niepce Guillaume, Anthoine et Henriote de Grantson, anffans de feu mon...frere Jehan de Grantson jaydis signeur de Pesmes” as her heirs[890].

- see below.

b) ANTOINE de Grandson (-1430). The testament of “Auliz de Grantson dame de Nores”, dated 19 Aug 1400 published early Sep 1400, named “mes...nepveurs et niepce Guillaume, Anthoine et Henriote de Grantson, anffans de feu mon...frere Jehan de Grantson jaydis signeur de Pesmes” as her heirs[891].

c) HENRIETTE de Grandson (-1440, bur Saint-Hilaire de Pesmes). The testament of “Auliz de Grantson dame de Nores”, dated 19 Aug 1400 published early Sep 1400, named “mes...nepveurs et niepce Guillaume, Anthoine et Henriote de Grantson, anffans de feu mon...frere Jehan de Grantson jaydis signeur de Pesmes” as her heirs[892]. The marriage contract of “Jean de Vienne” and “Henriette de Grandson”, her dowry to be paid by “Guillaume et Antoine de Grandson ses frères” and her dower taken from the assets of “Henri de Vienne et sur ceux de la femme de son dit fils”, is dated 23 May 1405[893]. “Henriette de Grandson veuve de Jean de Vienne co-seigneur de Neublans” sold, in the name of “Gérard de Vienne son fils mineur”, part of her rights in Noire to “Jean de Vaugrenans et à Guillaume de Rouhaut écuyers”, by charter dated 1438[894]. The testament of “Henriette de Grandson”, dated 1439, chose burial “dans la chapelle de ses ancêtres en l’église Saint-Hilaire de Pesmes”, bequeathed property to “la dame de Gevry sa fille...”[895]. m (contract 23 Mar 1405) JEAN de Vienne Seigneur de Monbis, de Saint-Chatard, de Neublans et de Halenaut, son of HENRI de Vienne Seigneur de Neublans & his wife Jeanne de Gouhenans (-before Jul 1430).

2. GUILLAUME de Grandson (-bur Pesmes Saint-Hilaire). The testament of “Margareta de Vergeyo domina de Pesmis”, dated 10 Jun 1396 published mid-Nov 1398, chose burial “in parrochiali ecclesia de Pesmis” between the bodies of “quondam bone memorie...Jacobi de Grandissono domini de Pesmis...mariti mei et...quondam...Guillelmi filii mei de Grandissono”[896].

3. AGNES de Grandson (-before 1366). “Agnes de Grandson, fille de Jacques de Grandson et de Marguerite de Vergy, femme de Vauthier de Vienne seigneur de Mirebel” acknowledged receipt of money in respect of her matrimonial rights by undated charter[897]. Agnes must have married and have died before 1366 when her husband is recorded with his second wife. If that is correct, she was one of her parents’ oldest children. m (before 1366) as his first wife, GAUTHIER de Vienne Seigneur de Mirebel, son of HENRI de Vienne Seigneur de Mirebel & his first wife Marguerite de Bauffremont (-[Feb 1390/1393], bur Baume).

4. ANTOINE de Grandson (-[before Jul 1372]). His parentage is confirmed by his 17 Feb 1368 (O.S.) marriage contract quoted below. The Jul 1372 testament of his father-in-law, which names Antoine’s wife but not Antoine himself, suggests that the marriage was never finalised or that, if it was, Antoine died soon after the marriage. Betrothed (contract 17 Feb 1369) to JEANNE de Vienne, daughter of JACQUES de Vienne Seigneur de Longwy & his wife Marguerite de la Roche. The marriage contract between “Antoine de Grandson fils de Jacques de Grandson seigneur de Pesmes et de Marguerite de Vergy” and “demoiselle Jeanne de Vienne fille de Jacques de Vienne seigneur de Longwy et de feue Marguerite de la Roche” is dated 17 Feb 1368 (presumably O.S.), and reserves Pesmes to Antoine after the death of his parents[898]. The testament of “Jaiques de Vienne sires de Longvi”, dated 12, 13 & 20 Jul 1372 published [late Oct/early Nov] 1372, bequeathed property to “...Jehanne ma...fille...ma...compaigne dame Marguerite de la Roiche dame de Lonvy sa mere...”[899].

5. HUGUETTE de Grandson (-after 19 Aug 1400). An undated charter [dated to “vers 1369”?] acknowledged payments following the marriage of “damoiselle Hugueette de Grantson fille de messire Jacques de Grantson sgr. de Pesmes, feme de messire Henry de Salins escuier sgr de Popet”[900]. If the dating is correct, Huguette was one of her parents’ older children. The testament of “Margareta de Vergeyo domina de Pesmis”, dated 10 Jun 1396 published mid-Nov 1398, bequeathed property to “filie mee Alidi de Grandissono domine de Talemey...filie mee Hugonete de Grandissono domine de Poppeto...”[901]. The testament of [her sister] “Auliz de Grantson dame de Nores”, dated 19 Aug 1400 published early Sep 1400, bequeathed property to “Jehanne de Grantson ma damoiselle...Maximinus mon nepveur seigneur de Ribaupierre...ma niepce la fille de ma suer la dame de Popet...”[902]: the wording suggests that Huguette was living at the time. m ([before 1369]) HENRI de Salins Seigneur de Poupet, son of JEAN de Salins Seigneur de Poupet & his wife --- (-after 1400).

6. SIMON de Grandson . [m (after 1375) as her second husband, JEANNE de Vienne, widow of JEAN Seigneur de Rougemont, daughter of HENRI de Vienne Seigneur de Mirebel & his first wife Marguerite de Bauffremont (-[1411/8 Oct 1412]). The question of this marriage is difficult. Père Anselme records Jeanne de Vienne and her marriage with “Simon Seigneur de Grançon” without citing the corresponding primary source[903]. Rousset names her husband “Simon de Grandson” and states that Jeanne was the daughter of her father’s second marriage[904]. If her husband’s name is correct, he was presumably the son of Jacques de Grandson and his wife Marguerite de Vergy. However, Rousset’s indication about Jeanne’s mother seems unlikely to be correct as she is not named in the 8 Oct 1363 testament of her supposed mother. The primary source which confirms Jeanne’s parentage and marriage has not been identified, but it seems likely that she was the same person as Jeanne de Vienne, daughter of Henri de Vienne Seigneur de Mirebel by his first wife and that Simon de Grandson was her second husband whom she married after the death of Jean Seigneur de Rougemont and before her marriage to Edouard Seigneur de Saint-Dizier. If that is correct, Jeanne married thirdly Edouard Seigneur de Saint-Dizier, and fourthly ([Aug 1401/26 Sep 1402]) as his second wife, Jean de Vergy Seigneur de Fouvent et de Champlitte. Letters dated 1411 record the claim by “Isabellis de Barro domina d’Arques et Ioanna domina Castrivillani heredem se dicens defunctæ Ysabellis de Barro dominæ quondam de Granceio et d’Ancerville” against “Ioannam de Vienna ad presens Ioannis de Vergeio militis et antea defuncti Eduardi quondam domini de Sancto Desiderio uxorem”[905]. She presumably died before 8 Oct 1412, the date of her last husband’s testament in which she is not named.]

7. ALIX de Grandson ([19 Aug/early Sep] 1400, bur Pesmes). Her parentage and first marriage are confirmed by the following document: “Richard d’Aucelle chevalier sr dudit lieu et de Monby” granted “sa terre et seignorie dudit Monby” to “damoyselle Alys de Granson fille de messire Jacques de Grantson sr de Pesmes et de dame Marguerite de Vergier sa femme” at the time of their marriage, by undated charter[906]. The marriage contract [for her second marriage] between “Jaque de Pontoillé filz ainsné de...Guy de Pontoillié seigr de Talemet mareschal de Bourgoigne chev... et de...Marguerite Danglure sa femme” and “Aalis de Gransson fille de feu...Jaques de Grantson jaidis seig de Pesme et de...Marguerite de Veirgy”, naming “feu Richart d’Ancelle jaidis son premier mairy” and “mademoiselle de la Fauche femme de feu Guille de Grancon a present femme de Jocobt de Vergy escuier”, is dated 23 Jul 1391[907]. The testament of “Margareta de Vergeyo domina de Pesmis”, dated 10 Jun 1396 published mid-Nov 1398, bequeathed property to “filie mee Alidi de Grandissono domine de Talemey...filie mee Hugonete de Grandissono domine de Poppeto...”[908]. The testament of “Auliz de Grantson dame de Nores”, dated 19 Aug 1400 published early Sep 1400, chose burial “en l’esglise de Pesmes”, bequeathed property to “Jehanne de Grantson ma damoiselle...Maximinus mon nepveur seigneur de Ribaupierre...ma niepce la fille de ma suer la dame de Popet...Henriote de Grantson ma niepce”, named “feu mes sire Jaques de Pontailler mon seigneur et mary”, named “mes...nepveurs et niepce Guillaume, Anthoine et Henriote de Grantson, anffans de feu mon...frere Jehan de Grantson jaydis signeur de Pesmes” as her heirs, and appointed “Jeham de Vianne signeur de Paigney, mon...oncle...Jehan de Vergey signeur d’Autrey, mon...frere Humbert sire de Bart escuier...” as executors[909]. m firstly RICHARD d’Aucelle Seigneur d’Aucelle et de Monby, son of ---. The testament of “messire Richard d’Auzelle chevalier”, undated, named “messire Jehan de Vienne admirand de France son oncle” as his heir[910]. The precise family relationship between the two has not been ascertained. m secondly (contract 23 Jul 1391) JACQUES de Pontailler, son of GUY de Pontailler Seigneur de Talemet & his wife Marguerite d’Anglure.

8. ANNE [Agnes] de Grandson (-after 30 Nov 1392). Her parentage and marriage are indicated by the following document: the testament of [her sister] “Auliz de Grantson dame de Nores”, dated 19 Aug 1400 published early Sep 1400, bequeathed property to “Jehanne de Grantson ma damoiselle...Maximinus mon nepveur seigneur de Ribaupierre...ma niepce la fille de ma suer la dame de Popet...”[911]. Friedrich Bishop of Strasbourg confirmed that “Brunen herren zu der Hohen Rapoltzstein” had granted dower to “Annen von Gransson sime...wibe” by charter dated 5 Sep 1381[912]. “Brune herre zu der Hohen Rappoltstein” granted “burg und stat zu Gemer” to “mime...wibe Annen von Gransson” as dower by charter dated 27 Apr 1383[913]. “Bruno miles dominus de Alta Rubapetra” granted property to “domine Agnetis de Grandissono eius uxoris” to “mime...wibe Annen von Gransson” as dower by charter dated 20 Jun 1386[914]. “Brun signour de la Halte Rabapierre et damne Agneil de Gransson femme dou dit...Brun” issued a charter relating to a mortgage of property dated 30 Nov 1392[915]. m (before 5 Sep 1381) as his second wife, BRUNO Herr von Rappoltstein, son of JOHANN Herr von Rappoltstein & his wife Elisabeth von Geroldseck (-14 May 1398).

GUILLAUME de Grandson, son of JEAN de Grandson Seigneur de Pesmes & his wife Catherine de Neuchâtel [en Bourgogne] (-[1428]). Seigneur de Pesmes. The testament of “Auliz de Grantson dame de Nores”, dated 19 Aug 1400 published early Sep 1400, named “mes...nepveurs et niepce Guillaume, Anthoine et Henriote de Grantson, anffans de feu mon...frere Jehan de Grantson jaydis signeur de Pesmes” as her heirs[916].

m JEANNE de Vienne Dame de Durnes, daughter of HENRI de Vienne Seigneur de Neublans & his wife Jeanne de Gouhenans (-after 5 May 1455). The testament of “Jehanne de Gouhenans dame dudit lieu”, dated 27 Apr 1431, bequeathed property to “ma...fille Henriete de Vienne dame de Rougemont et d’Usiez...ma...fille Jehanne de Vienne dame de Pesmes...”[917].

The testament of “Henriette de Vienne femme de Jean de Rye seigneur de Balançon et Corcondray”, dated 1 May 1450, codicil dated 29 Sep 1452, named as her heir “Hélyon de Grandson seigneur de la Marche”, with “Jeanne de Vienne sa sœur” as substitute, bequeathed property to “chacun de ses neveux Jean et Simon de Grandson...à chacune de ses nièces Jeanne et Louise de Grandson...à sa sœur Jeanne de Vienne dame de Pesmes et de Durnes”[919]. “Jeanne de Vienne dame d’Ornans-les-Vuillafans et de Gouhenans, Elyon de Grandson chevalier seigneur de la Marche et de Brochon, et Simon de Grandson écuyer seigneur de Puits et du Val-Saint-Julien” granted freedoms to “les habitants de Gouhenans” by charter dated 5 May 1455[920].

Guillaume & his wife had six children:

1. JEAN de Grandson (-murdered 28 Nov 1455, bur Poligny Jacobins). Seigneur de Pesmes. A charter dated 21 Jun 1429 records “Catherine de Neufchâtel dame de Pesmes, ayant le bail de Jean, Hélyon, Simon, Jeanne, Marguerite et Louise de Grandson, enfants de Guillaume de Grandson et de Jeanne de Vienne” donating property at Bretigny[921]. A document dated 17 Feb 1443 records that Jean de Grandson had been captured at Nolay by Antoine de Chabannes Comte de Dammartin, dated to [1440], and that in reprisal he had captured Montaigu-le-Blanc castle 29 Sep 1442[922].

Her absence from the testament of her maternal aunt Henriette de Vienne, which names Marguerite’s other brothers and sisters, suggests that she may have been deceased at the time (assuming that the extract quoted above accurately reflects the original text).

5. LOUISE de Grandson (-after 29 Sep 1452). A charter dated 21 Jun 1429 records “Catherine de Neufchâtel dame de Pesmes, ayant le bail de Jean, Hélyon, Simon, Jeanne, Marguerite et Louise de Grandson, enfants de Guillaume de Grandson et de Jeanne de Vienne” donating property at Bretigny[937].

Simon’s birth date is suggested because he is recorded as a minor in the 4 Jul 1440 marriage contract of his sister Louise, quoted above. The testament of [his maternal aunt] “Henriette de Vienne femme de Jean de Rye seigneur de Balançon et Corcondray”, dated 1 May 1450, codicil dated 29 Sep 1452, bequeathed property to “chacun de ses neveux Jean et Simon de Grandson...à chacune de ses nièces Jeanne et Louise de Grandson...”[941].

Seigneur de Pesmes 1460. m (17 Apr 1458) CATHERINE du Châtelet, daughter of ERARD du Châtelet Baron de Deuilly & his second wife Marguerite de Grancey (-after 1492).

After the death in 1455 of Jean de Grandson Seigneur de Pesmes, the seigneurie de Pesmes passed to Thiébaut [IX] Seigneur de Neuchâtel [en Bourgogne] (see the document BURGUNDY KINGDOM-MONTBELIARD), who had been acquiring interests in the property during Jean’s lifetime as shown by the charters quoted above. Pesmes was later inherited by Bonne, daughter of Thiébaut [IX] and his second wife, whose second husband was Jean de la Baume Comte de Montrevel. Perchet discusses her descendants and the later history of Pesmes[944].

Chapter 13. SEIGNEURS de RAY

Ray is situated on the right bank of the river Saône, 25 kilometres north-east of Gray. Today known as Ray-sur-Saône, it is located in the canton Dampierre-sur-Salon, arrondissement Gray, département of Haute-Saône. The present castle of Ray is a 15th century construction[945]. The medieval seigneurie of Ray consisted of the parishes of Ray, Membre, Tence and Vanne, and was adjacent to the seigneurie de Traves, Dunod suggesting a common ancestry between the seigneurs de Traves and seigneurs de Ray[946]. The family connections, if any, between the individuals named “Ray” in the late 11th to late 12th centuries, shown below, have not been ascertained. Ray passed to the family of la Roche-sur-l’Ognon in the late 12th century.

1. GUY de Ray (-after 1099). An undated charter records that, on the day of burial of "Humberti Bruni Fontis-vennæ Senioris" at Bèze, “uxor eius” donated “capellam de castro Fontis vennæ...”, subscribed by “...Widonis de Raiaco...”[947]. "Willelmus Fontis-vennæ, Widonis de Radiaco, Sewini filii eius" witnessed the charter dated 1099 under which “Oddo filius Hugonis Senior Montis Salonis” donated “honorem suum...in Calma” to Saint-Pierre de Bèze[948]. m ---. The name of Guy’s wife is not known. A possible indication of her family origin is provided by the following document, which suggests that the name of Guy’s son may have been introduced from his mother’s family: "Sewinus miles et uxor eius de loco...Villesons [Vellexon]" donated “mansos...in villa Firdriacus...et...in villa...Wascum curtis” to Saint-Pierre de Bèze by undated charter, signed by “Widonis de Raiaco, Sewini...”[949].

"...Seuvino de Raiaco..." witnessed the testament of “filia Heinrici de Nova villa...Elisabeth cognomento...Karitas”[953].

Othon & his wife had three children:

1. JEAN de Ray (-before 1264). “Othes de la Roche sires de Rail” confirmed having sold “le chastel d’Argues et le chastel de Naples” to “monseignor Guion de la Roche seignor d’Athenes nostre...frere...madame Agnès dame d’Athènes sa femme”, with the consent of “madame Marguerite nostre femme...et de Guillermete nostre fille, qui est en aage et estoit en presence” and promising to obtain the consent of “Jahan nostre fil qui est en aage et...Isabelon nostre fillie quant ele sera en aage”, by charter dated 19 Apr 1251[969]. He is named with his wife in the charter dated 1252 quoted below. Jean [I] Seigneur de Choiseul promised to help the comte de Bourgogne “avec ses biens de Choiseul et d’Aigremont”, except for “ce que Simon de Sexfontaines tient de lui à Chauffour et de ce que le sire de Ray tient de lui à Pouilly”, by charter dated 20 Aug 1258[970]. The document dated 1264 cited below, which records a donation made by Jean’s son, suggests that Jean was deceased at the time. m (before Aug 1252) as her first husband, YOLANDE de Choiseul, daughter of RAYNARD [II] Seigneur de Choiseul & his second wife Alix de Dreux ([1225/35]-[5 Dec 1310], bur La Charité). “Jean sire de Choiseul et d’Aigremont” confirmed a donation, with the consent of “Bertremette dite Alix dame d’Aigremont sa femme et de ses frères Renard trésorier de Reims et Robert damoiseau, de ses sœurs Yoleas femme de Jean de Ray et Agnes”, by charter dated Aug 1252[971].

Yolande married secondly ([1264/74]) [as his second wife,] Etienne [II] Seigneur d’Oiselay. Abbé Guillaume notes her second marriage to “Etienne Sire d’Oiselet” and records that she and her second husband are named in a charter of La Charité dated 1274[974]. Abbé Guillaume states that Yolande died 5 Dec 1310 and was buried at “l’abbaye de la Charité” where an epitaph records the burial of “domina Yoland de Choisuel, domina d’Oiselet”[975]. Abbé Guillaume does not quote her supposed date of death as forming part of this epitaph, which leaves open the question of the source which confirms the date. Jean & his wife had children:

a) OTHON de Ray (-1298). Seigneur de Ray. Abbé Guillaume records that “Ottenin ou Othes Sire de Ray chevalier” confirmed “avec Yolande Dame de Ray sa mère” the donation of “[les] dîmes de Membrey”, made to Bellevaux abbey by “Jean de Ray son père”, by charter dated 1264[976]. The presence of his mother in this document suggests that Othenin was still under age at the time. Abbé Guillaume records that Guillaume ratified with “Ottenin son frère” the donation of “[le] péage de la Chapelle” to Bellevaux abbey made by “Otton de la Roche Sire de Ray”, by charter dated 1281[977]. A mutual aid pact was agreed between local nobility, including “...Othon sire de Ray et son fils...”, by charter dated Feb 1293 (O.S.)[978].

Chapter 14. SEIGNEURS de la ROCHE-sur-l'OGNON

The castle of la Roche-sur-l’Ognon was located near Rigney, about 25 kilometres north-east of Besançon, in the present day French département of Doubs. Anséric Archbishop of Besançon and “les seigneurs de la Roche sur l’Ognon” founded Bellevaux abbey in 1119[991]. The primary sources which confirm the parentage and marriages of the members of this family have not yet been identified, unless otherwise stated.

1. GUY de la Roche (-1140). Abbé Guillaume records that “Guy Sire de la Roche-sur-l’Ognon chevalier” witnessed the charter dated 1140 under which “Pierre de Traves doyen de Saint-Etienne” donated property to Bellevaux[992].

2. PONS de la Roche . Abbé Guillaume identifies Pons, husband of “Sibille Dame de Roulans”, as the son of Guy de la Roche who is named above[993]. m SIBYLLE Dame de Roulans, daughter of ---. Richard, in his history of Grâce-Dieu, indicates that Pons de la Roche-su-l’Ognon married the heiress of Roulans “Sibille dame de Roulans” but cites no source on which he bases this information[994].

3. --- de la Roche ). The identity of the brother-in-law of Humbert Archbishop of Besançon has not been established. Abbé Guillaume identifies him as Guy de la Roche who is named above[995]. m ---, daughter of ---. The charter dated 18 Feb 1149, under which Humbert Archbishop of Besançon confirmed the withdrawal by "domnus Raaldus de Ceys" of his claim to the church of Saintoche, witnessed by "Hugo de Rocha et Otto frater eius, nepotes nostri…"[996], suggests that the mother of the two brothers was the archbishop’s sister. Pons & his wife had two children:

a) HUGUES de la Roche (-before 1180). Humbert Archbishop of Besançon confirmed the withdrawal by "domnus Raaldus de Ceys" of his claim to the church of Santoche by charter dated 18 Feb 1149, witnessed by "Hugo de Rocha et Otto frater eius, nepotes nostri…"[997].

m GERTRUDE, daughter of ---. Abbé Guillaume records that Pons de la Roche “avec sa mère et ses frères” donated property in the village of Valeroy to Bellevaux abbey by charter dated 1159[1001].

Othon & his wife had three children:

1. PONS de la Roche (-after 1197). Abbé Guillaume records that Pons de la Roche “avec sa mère et ses frères” donated property in the village of Valeroy to Bellevaux abbey by charter dated 1159[1002]. Abbé Guillaume records that Pons de la Roche subscribed a charter for Bellevaux abbey dated 1197[1003]. Seigneur de Ray. m firstly (before 1168) MATHELIE, daughter of ---. The primary source which confirms her marriage has not been identified. m secondly PONTIA [de Rougement/de Dramelay]. The primary source which confirms her marriage and possible family origin has not been identified. 1170/79. Pons & his [first] wife had three children:

a) OTHON [I] de la Roche (-before 1234). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records in 1205 that "Otto de Rupe, cuiusdam nobilis Pontii de Rupe in Burgundia filius" was made “dux Atheniensium atque Thebanorum”[1004].

Abbé Guillaume records that Pons de Cicon agreed with Othon de la Roche Seigneur de Ray concerning “la succession d’Humbert et de Thibaud de la Roche ses oncles, morts sans postérité” by charter dated 1235[1006].

e) THIBAUD de la Roche (-before 1235). Abbé Guillaume records that Pons de Cicon agreed with Othon de la Roche Seigneur de Ray concerning “la succession d’Humbert et de Thibaud de la Roche ses oncles, morts sans postérité” by charter dated 1235[1007].

f) CLEMENCE de la Roche (-before 1248). Her family origin is confirmed by the second charter dated 1248 quoted below. The reference to her brother Thibaut, also named in the 1235 charter of her nephew Pons de Cicon (son of her sister Sibylle) quoted above, suggests that Thibaut, Clémence and Sibylle may all have been full siblings. No source has yet been identified which confirms the identity of their mother. Presumably Clémence married around the same time as her sister Sibylle, who is named with her husband in 1206. “Guillaume de Cicon” founded the anniversary of “sa mère...Clémence” at Bellevaux, ratified by Thibaut his brother, by charter dated 1248[1008]. “Thibaut de Cicon...avec Guillaume son frère aîné” confirmed donations made by “Thibaud de la Roche son oncle” to La Charité by charter dated 1248[1009]. m ([before 1206?]) PIERRE de Cicon "li Angres", son of --- de Cicon & his wife Julienne --- (-1234).

Chapter 15. SEIGNEURS de ROUGEMONT, VICOMTES de BESANÇON

Rougemont was located in the arrondissement of Baume-les-dames, in the present-day French département of Doubs[1013]. This family is recorded as holding the vicomté de Besançon at least from the early 13th century as shown below. Abbé Guillaume records that Thibaut [IV] Seigneur de Rougemont sold the vicomté, dated to the second half of the 13th century, “au Seigneur de Montferrand, qui la transmit à Humbert Sire de Clervaux, duquel Jean de Chalon Sire d’Arlay la reçut sous la condition de la tenir de son fief”[1014]. This information is partially confirmed by the following documents: “Eudes de Montferrand” gave “la vicomté de Besançon” to “Humbert de Clairvaux” by charter dated 1293, and in the same year Humbert de Clairvaux received the vicomté “en fief de Jean de Chalon-Arlay” and Adolf King of Germany confirmed it to “Jean de Chalon-Arlay et à Humbert de Clairvaux”[1015].

1. THIBAUT [I] de Rougemont (-after May 1147). Seigneur de Rougemont. Humbert Archbishop of Besançon confirmed the foundation of Grâce-Dieu abbey by “dominus Theobaldus de Rubeo Monte et dominus Richardus de Montefalcone...assensu uxorum suarum atque filiorum suorum”, in the presence of “...Henricus de Faucogney...”, by charter dated “V Non Mai” 1147[1016]. m ---. The name of Thibaut’s wife is not known. It is unlikely that she was Ponce de Traves, daughter of Thibaut Seigneur de Traves & his wife Alix --- (-15 Apr after 1157). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Aleyde comitissa qui fuit unica heres de Treva, relicta Theobaldi de Rogemont" as wife of "comitem Guilelmum" [Guillaume [III] Comte de Màcon][1017]. Bouchard points out that Thibaut [I] Seigneur de Rougemont was still alive when Comte Guillaume is alleged to have married Ponce de Traves and suggests that the chronicle confused her with her mother[1018]. It is more likely that Alberic confused Ponce with her sister Alix, who married Thibaut [II] Seigneur de Rougemont. Thibaut [I] & his wife had one child:

a) HUMBERT [I] de Rougemont (-bur Bellevaux). He was named in a later passage in the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines which records the election in 1220 of "Gerardus Sancti Iohannis decanus, filius Theobaldi de Rogemont, filii Humberti comitis Stephani consobrinus" as archbishop of Besançon[1019]. m ---. The name of Humbert’s wife is not known. Humbert [I] & his wife had one child:

i) THIBAUT [II] de Rougemont (-after 1213). He was named in a later passage in the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the election in 1220 of "Gerardus Sancti Iohannis decanus, filius Theobaldi de Rogemont, filii Humberti comitis Stephani consobrinus" as archbishop of Besançon[1020].

- see below.

THIBAUT [II] de Rougemont, son of HUMBERT [I] Seigneur de Rougemont & his wife --- (-after 1213). He was named in a later passage in the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the election in 1220 of "Gerardus Sancti Iohannis decanus, filius Theobaldi de Rogemont, filii Humberti comitis Stephani consobrinus" as archbishop of Besançon[1021]. Seigneur de Rougemont. Vicomte de Besançon. Thibaut de Rougemont witnessed the charter dated 1213 which confirms a donation to Theulley[1022].

m ALIX [de Traves, daughter of THIBAUT Seigneur de Traves & his wife Alix ---]. Abbé Guillaume names “Alix de Trave fille de Thibaud II Sire de Trave et sœur de Poncette de Trave, femme de Guillaume Comte de Mâcon” as wife of Thibaut [II] de Rougemont but does not cite the primary source which confirms this information[1023]. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified.

Thibaut [II] & his wife had three children:

1. THIBAUT [III] de Rougemont (-after 1259). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names “Humbertum et Theobaldum” as the brothers of "Gerardus Sancti Iohannis decanus..." archbishop of Besançon[1024]. It is assumed that Thibaut was older than his brother Humbert, despite the order in which their names appear in Alberic, because he inherited his father’s viscomital title. Seigneur de Rougemont. Vicomte de Besançon. “Theobaudus dominus de Rubeomonte” swore homage to “Joannis comitis Burgundiæ et domini Salinensis”, except for his responsibility to the archbishop of Besançon, by charter dated late Jan 1242[1025]. Abbé Guillaume records that Thibaut [III] donated property to La Charité, with the consent of “Thibaud et Hugues ses petits-fils”, by charter dated 1251[1026]. Thibaut de Rougemont approved an agreement between “Robert de Choiseul son gendre” and the monks of La Charité by charter dated 1259[1027]. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Thibaut’s wife has not been identified. Thibaut [III] & his wife had [three] children:

a) HUMBERT [III] de Rougemont (-after 1239). Abbé Guillaume records that he was named with his father in charters for the abbeys of Battant, La Charité and Grace de Dieu, dated 1230, 1233 and 1239 respectively[1028]. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Humbert’s wife has not been identified. Humbert [III] & his wife had three children:

i) THIBAUT [IV] de Rougemont (-after 1289). Abbé Guillaume records that Thibaut [III] donated property to La Charité, with the consent of “Thibaud et Hugues ses petits-fils”, by charter dated 1251[1029]. Seigneur de Rougemont. Vicomte de Besançon.

- see below.

ii) HUGUES de Rougemont . Abbé Guillaume records that Thibaut [III] donated property to La Charité, with the consent of “Thibaud et Hugues ses petits-fils”, by charter dated 1251[1030].

iii) EUDES de Rougemont (-23 Jun 1301, bur Bellevaux). Archbishop of Besançon 1268. The necrology of Besançon Saint-Etienne records the death “VIII Kal Jul” of “Odo archiepiscopus Bisuntinus de Rubeomonte” and his donation[1031].

b) ISABELLE de Rougemont (-after Aug 1300, bur [Morimond]). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 1259 under which [her father] Thibaut de Rougemont approved an agreement between “Robert de Choiseul son gendre” and the monks of La Charité[1032]. Her marriage date is indicated by the 1 Apr 1247 charter of her husband. She is presumed to have been heiress of Traves, which has passed to the Rougemont family with the marriage of her paternal grandfather. Faget de Casteljau says that Isabelle was “peut-être veuve de Guillaume de Montferrand et la mère de Pierre de Montferrand”[1033]. He does not discuss the basis for his conjecture, but notes that Robert de Choiseul and his wife Isabelle sold the seigneurie de Cerre-lès-Noroy, with the consent of “Thibaud de Rougemont et de Pierre de Montferrand” (no source citation) which could be explained by Pierre de Montferrand holding an interest in the property by inheritance. Another possibility is that the property in question was one of the properties of the vicomté de Besançon which was sold by the Rougemont family to the seigneur de Montferrand. If that is correct, there may have been no Montferrand/Rougemont family relationship. In addition, the chronology is not ideal: the birth of Isabelle’s known husband Robert de Choiseul (by whom she had [five] children) can be estimated to [1225/30], whereas the birth of Pierre de Montferrand, son of Guillaume de Montferrand estimated to [1230/40] as shown below. Faget notes that Robert and Isabelle donated “la moitié du moulin de la Verre” to Bellevaux abbey, with the consent of “Pierre de Montferrand et Thibauit fils d’Humbert de Rougemont”, by charter dated 1265[1034]. Faget de Casteljau records that Robert de Choiseul repurchased the “vicomté de Besançon, engagée par Pierre de Montferrand à Hugues seigneur de Thoraise”, promising to grant it to “Eudes de Rougemont archévêque de Besançon” when he reimbursed the debt, by charter dated 1276[1035]. “Robert, sire de Traves, chevalier, et Isabelle, sa femme” issued a promise to Besançon Saint-Paul regarding a debt owed by “Jeanne, veuve de Huet de Rosey” by charter dated 17 Nov 1291[1036]. “Robert de Choiseul sire de Traves, et Isabelle, sa femme, dame de Traves” recorded a dispute with “Guillaume prieur de Marteroy” regarding property “au finage de Scey” by charter dated Aug 1300[1037]. According to Dubois, an inscription at Morimond records the burial of “Robert de Choiseul seigneur de Traves et Isabelle de Rougemont sa femme” who died 1280 and 1290[1038]. This epitaph is not recorded in the letter dated 4 Feb 1661 which records epitaphs of other members of the Choiseul family. In any case, the Aug 1300 charter cited above shows that the dates are incorrect. [m firstly GUILLAUME Seigneur de Montferrand, son of --- (-before [1250]).] m [secondly] (before 1 Apr 1247) ROBERT de Choiseul Seigneur de Traves, son of RAYNARD [II] Seigneur de Choiseul & his second wife Alix de Dreux ([1225/30]-after Aug 1300, bur [Morimond]).

c) [ALIX (-1302, bur Baume-les-Nonnains). Dame de Pouilly-sur-Saône. Europäische Stammtafeln names “Alais de Rougemont Dame de Pouilly-sur-Saòne, daughter of Thibaut [III] Seigneur de Rougemont” as wife of Hugues de Vienne Seigneur de Pagny[1039]. On the other hand, Père Anselme states that Hugues’s wife was Alix de Villars Dame de Pouilly-sur-Saône, daughter of Humbert [III] Seigneur de Thoire et Villars & his first wife Beatrix de Bourgogne[1040] (doubts about the identity of Humbert [III]’s first wife are discussed in the document BURGUNDY KINGDOM-BRESSE & BUGEY). The question is further complicated by another table in Europäische Stammtafeln which shows Hugues’s wife as Alix de Faucogney, possible daughter of Aimon de Faucogney [Rougemont] Vicomte de Vesoul, Seigneur de Villersexel[1041]. No primary source which might shed light on Alix’s correct parentage has been identified. The only point on which all three secondary sources agree is that Alix was dame de Pouilly-sur-Saône. The key to resolving the problem therefore appears to be establishing the succession of the seigneurie de Pouilly-sur-Saône. As is shown in the document BURGUNDY DUCHY - BEAUNE & CHALON, no reference has been found to the Pouilly family after the death of Gérard Seigneur de Pouilly, dated to [1136/43]. It is probable that Gérard died without direct heirs and that Pouilly-sur-Saône was inherited by his sister Aiglantine and her descendants, but unfortunately no source has been identified which confirms the succession. “Phelippes dit de Vienne et sires de Paigné chevaliers et Iehane freres d’iceluy Phelippes damoiseaus, fil cay en arriers de bone heurée recordation Hugon cay en arriers conte de Vienne” reached agreement with “nostre...mere Aalys dite contesse de Vienne et cay en arriers dame de Paigné” concerning her dower by charter dated Oct 1277[1042]. m HUGUES de Vienne Seigneur de Pagny, son of HUGUES Seigneur d’Antigny et de Pagny & his wife Beatrix de Vienne (-after Jul 1269, bur Baume-les-Nonnains).]

A. SEIGNEURS de SALINS (MÂCON)

HUMBERT de Mâcon, son of AUBRY [I] [de Narbonne] Comte de Mâcon & his wife Tolana de Mâcon (-before 958). A manuscript genealogy, dated to the early 12th century, records "Letaldus comes Vesoncius et Umbertus comes Marisconensis fratres"[1269]. "Leutaldus atque et Umbertus filii…Alberici [comitis]" are named in an undated charter of Saint-Vincent de Mâcon[1270]. "Albericus comes…filii mei Letboldus et Umbertus" donated property to Saint-Vincent de Mâcon by charter dated [930][1271]. "Unberti fratris eius" consented to the donation of Letald Comte de Mâcon dated Feb 944[1272]. Seigneur de Salins. “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...”[1273].

m [WANDALMODIS, daughter of ---. "Mulier quædam nobilis…Wandalmodis" donated property for the soul of "mariti sui Humberti" by undated charter[1274], the use of the same first name by her supposed granddaughter indicating that this may have been the wife of Humbert Seigneur de Salins. It is not certain that this entry refers to the wife of Humbert de Mâcon Seigneur de Salins.]

Humbert & his wife had [three] children:

1. HUMBERT [II] de Salins (-25 Jul, after Jan 971, bur Besançon Saint-Paul). "Humberti nepotis mei" is named in the donation of "Leutaldus comes" to Cluny dated 4 Jan 958[1275]. Seigneur de Salins.

Ermenburge’s father has not been identified with certainty. He is not called “comes” in the 16 Apr 1028 charter, which suggests that he may have been Lambert [II] if he was deprived of his county (as suggested in the document BURGUNDY KINGDOM-NEUCHÂTEL, VAUD, VALAIS, GRUYERE). No indication has been found about how many years Humbert [II] survived after 971, but the chronology of the couple’s children suggests that he must have been young in 971. The necrology of Besançon cathedral records the death in Oct “E” of “Ermenburgis mater Hugonis Bisuntiensis Archeip.”[1279]. Humbert [II] & his wife had three children:

a) GAUCHER [II] de Salins (-13 Apr ----). "Vualcherius miles de Salinis" confirmed donations of "Humberto patri suo" by undated charter, dated to after 1039, in the presence of "Hugo archiepiscopus, frater Vualcherii…"[1280]. Seigneur de Salins.

The parentage of the witness is unknown. However, his position first in the witness list, named before ecclesiastical witnesses, suggests that a position of seniority in the donor’s entourage. It is therefore possible that he was her paternal uncle, of course very old at the time.]

b) HUGUES . “Guichardus eiusdem ecclesiæ canonicus et archidiaconus” donated property inherited from “matris meæ Ermenburgæ...avus meus genitor eius Humbertus...Salinis”, and which “frater meus Humbertus” later granted him, to Besançon Saint-Etienne by charter dated 27 Dec 1087, the same charter recording that later “Gualcherius avunculi eius Gualcherii filius”, anticipating his inheritance from the donor, claimed the property from the church but that “Gualcherius et filii mei Humbertus et Hugo” confirmed the donation[1332].

He succeeded as Seigneur de Salins. The Pars Altera Chronici Lemovicensis of Geoffroy de Vigeois records that "nobilis Ebo de Charento" with "Gaucherio de Salis qui fuit filius Geraldi de Mania" with "nuru sua, quæ fuit uxor Archambaldi de Borbon et soror ducis Burgundiæ" invaded Limoges, dated to 1182[1335]. “Wacherus dominus de Salinis” donated property to Besançon Saint-Etienne, for the soul of “patris mei Girardi comitis Viennensium”, by charter dated 1184[1336]. “Dominum Gaucherium de Borbonio, dominamque Matildim uxorem meam” granted toll exemptions to Cluny, with the consent of “domini Guillelmi comitis fratris mei”, by charter dated 1189[1337].

Dame de Traves: Raynard and “Alix dame de Choiseul et de Traves sa femme” donated “le pâturage de Chauffour” to Belfays, with the consent of “Jean leur fils aîné”, by charter dated Mar 1238[1351]. The circumstances in which Alix acquired the seigneurie de Traves have not been ascertained. “Domina Aalidis domina Caseoli, relicta domini Renardi quondam domini Caseoli” confirmed the donation of property made by “dominus Vuillelmus de Jevegney miles, filius quondam domini Liebaudi de Jevegney” to Charlier abbey, with the consent of “Joannes filius meus”, by charter dated Jun 1239[1352]. “Alix domina de Treva” exchanged property with Charlieu abbey, with the consent of “Joannes dominus de Chosuel miles et Robertus domicellus frater eius, filii Aalix predictæ”, by charter dated Apr 1256[1353]. “Alix dame de Traves” is named in the charter dated 1258 under which Jean de Chalon Seigneur de Salins granted property “à Varennes, à Sainte-Marie et en la pôté de Flagey” to “Etienne d’Oiselay son frère”[1354].

Gaucher had one illegitimate son by Mistress (1):

2. GERAUD bâtard de Salins . The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. It is suggested by the charter dated 1239 under which “Girardus dictus Bastar miles Salinensis” granted property “in villa de Limuy” to “Joanni comiti Burgundiæ et domino Salinensi” if he died without legitimate heirs[1362]. Seigneur de Lemuy 1267. Possible descendants:

- SALINS dit CHAMBRIER[1363].

C. SALINS-LA-TOUR

Dunod records “azur à la Tour d’or maçonnée de Sable” as the arms of this family “dont elle a pris le nom”[1364]. Ulysse Robert says that “le nom de [la] famille [de Dominique] était Asinier. Il était lombard et était banquier à Salins”[1365]. Tripart says that “d’après d’autres écrivains [unspecified] [Othenin de Salins-la-Tour, seigneur d’Aresches] était tout simplement le fils d’un roturier appelé Dominique Asinier, lombard, originaire d’Ast”[1366]. Dunod provides another perspective on the family’s origin, saying that it was “originaire de Salins”, but “étant passée en Lombardie du tems de l’Empereur Frederic premier…y a demeuré jusques sur la fin du treizième siècle”, when Dimanche/Dominicus returned to Salins (no sources cited to justify his assertion)[1367]. The Asinari [Asinier] family established themselves at Arbois (near Poligny) before Dec 1273 (“Petrus de Arbosion, domicellus, dictus Bibitor, et Agnes ejus uxor” sold their mills to “Bonifacio et Bonohomini, fratribus, lombardis, civibus Astensibus, mercatoribus” by charter dated Dec 1273[1368]) and at Seurre in 1280 (Philippe de Vienne Seigneur de Pagny requested Robert II Duke of Burgundy to grant protection to “Bonifacium et Bonum, hominem, fratres, dictos Asinarios, cives et mercatores Astenses…cum bonis, familiis et rebus suis omnibus” at Seurre [“apud Sorrogium”] for nine years by charter dated Jun 1280[1369]). Other family members were named in the 28 Apr 1304 charter under which “Jehans de Bourgoigne, chevaliers” guaranteed a debt incurred by “messires Wautiers de Monfaucon, sires de Willaufans” to “Bomhome, Alixandre et Boniface, lombars, merchanz, compagnons et citiens d’Ast”[1370]. The brothers Reynon and Domenico, named below, were presumably closely related to the earlier Asinari family members, but the precise relationship has not been ascerained. The descendants of Domenico married into many of the local Burgundian noble families as will be seen below.

Two brothers, parents not identified:

1. REYNON [Raignon] Asinari [Asinier] (Ast, Piemonte [before 1285?]-31 Dec 1326, bur Salins Saint-Anatole, [later transferred to] Theulay). The 25 Nov 1306 charter cited below suggests that he was adult at the time, so maybe born before 1285. Banker established at Arbois: “Reignons, lombars, demorrant Arbois, au nom de Bonhome, lombart, mercheant et citiens d’Ast, de Alixandre et de Boniface, freres, ses nevours” acknowledged payments from “mon seignou […frere] Huede de Lielle…religiose persone” by charter dated 25 Nov 1308[1371]. A document dated 1324 records “garanties données à Jean de Chalon, comte d’Auxerre” to “Etienne de Saint-Dizier, seigneur de Saint-Laurent-de-la-Roche, et Huguette de Sainte-Croix, sa femme”, guaranteeing debts to “deux lombards, Raignon, d’Arbois, et Dimanche, son frère, de Salins”[1372]: Gauthier reproduces the document “Estienes de Saint Disire, sires de Saint Lorent de la Rouche, chevaliers, et…Huguete de Sainte Croix, dame de Saint Lorent, [sa] femme” guaranteed debts to “Raignon d’Arbois et Diemainche, son frere, demorant à Salins, les lombars” incurred by “nostres…cousins et sires, Jehans de Chalon, cuens d’Auceurre et sires de Roichefort” by charter dated 13/14 Dec 1324[1373]. The testament of Reynon, dated 1326, bequeathed his fortune to “Jean, fils aîné de son frère Dimanche” and chose burial “à Salins dans l’église de Saint-Anatoile” in a chapel founded by his brother[1374]. An epitaph at Theulay records the burial of “Raisonins Asiniers, lombard d’Asti” who died 1325 “la voille de l’am nuef”[1375], which presumably indicates the later transfer of his body to Theulay as his brother’s testament cited below indicates that Reynon was buried at Salins Saint-Anatole.

2. DOMENICO [Dimanche] Asinari [Asinier] (Asti, Piemonte ---- -20 Jan [1338?], bur Salins Saint-Anatole). Banker established at Salins: “Domene tenant la tauble de Salins” acknowledged payments from “maistres Guillames de Salins, clerc ma dame la contesse d’Artois et de Bourgoigne” by charter dated 22 Jul 1313[1376]. Abbé Guillaume cites other documents dated 1319 and 1322 in which he was named[1377]. A document dated 1324 records “garanties données à Jean de Chalon, comte d’Auxerre” to “Etienne de Saint-Dizier, seigneur de Saint-Laurent-de-la-Roche, et Huguette de Sainte-Croix, sa femme”, guaranteeing debts to “deux lombards, Raignon, d’Arbois, et Dimanche, son frère, de Salins”[1378]; see above under Reynon for the document text. Abbé Guillaume cites other documents dated 1329 and 1334 in which he was named[1379]. Abbé Guillaume reports Domenico’s testament, dated “le samedi après la Fête de Saint Hilaire, l’an 1333”, in which he chose burial “en l’Eglise de Saint Anatoile de Salins” in his chapel, ratified donations made to his sons “pour conserver l’union entre eux et Isabelle leur mere”, made bequests to his daughters, and appointed “ses seuls enfans mâles” as his universal heirs[1380]. Ulysse Robert reproduces the testament of “Dominicus de Salino, miles”, dated 1337 (O.S.?) “die sabbati post festum beati Hylarii” [18 Jan] [same day as Abbé Guillaume’s report of the testament which he dates 1333, suggesting that one or other has mistaken the year], published “die lune post festum cathedre [sancti] Petri” 133-, confirming an agreement between “uxorem meam dominam Hysabellam et liberos ac heredes meos”, chose burial “in ecclesia parrochiali Sancti Anatholii salinensis” near the body of “quondam fratris mei…Baygnum”, made numerous donations to ecclesiastical institutions, including property to “conventui religiosarum sororum Cordigerarum de Bisuntio” to be made after the death of “Guyete, filie mee, cordigeré”, confirmed donations to “Johanni…filio meo primogenito…Othoni…filio meo…filio meo domino Anseaux…Guillelmo…filio meo…Hugoni…filio meo…filiabus meis domine Guie […domino Guillelmo de Chamdevers, militi, et dicte domine Guye, ejus uxori, filie mee], Alidi, Johannete, Guillemete et Guiete, cordigere”, and named his five sons as his heirs[1381].

She was named in her husband’s testament cited above. Abbé Guillaume records her as “Dame de Marchaut, fille d¡Otton, Sire de la Roche sur l’Ognon, Chevalier” (no source cited)[1383]. Domenico & his wife had ten children:

a) JEAN de Salins (-[1382/10 May 1385], bur Salins Saint-Anatole). His paternal uncle Reynon appointed Jean as his heir in his 1326 testament (see above). His father’s 18 Jan 1337 (O.S.?) testament confirmed donations to “Johanni…filio meo primogenito…Othoni…filio meo…filio meo domino Anseaux…Guillelmo…filio meo…Hugoni…filio meo…” and named his five sons as his heirs[1384]. Abbé Guillaume records documents dated 1355, 1358, 1360, 1363, 1364, 1366 in which he was named[1385]. Seigneur de Poupet. Dunod records his testament in 1378 and his death in the same year (no source cited, date of death must be incorrect)[1386]. On the other hand, Abbé Guillaume records his participation in an assembly held at Salins in 1382[1387]. Jean presumably died before 10 May 1385 when his oldest son paid homage for Poupet (see below). His burial place is confirmed by the testament of his son Etienne cited below. m firstly ([1343]) MATHILDE de Belvoir, daughter of THIBAUT [II] Seigneur de Belvoir et de Saint-Julien & his first wife Jeanne de Montfaucon (-[1357/60]). Duchesne records her parentage and marriage, proved he says by “l’acquit de ses droits datté de l’an 1357” (no source citation)[1388]. Abbé Guillaume dates the marriage to around 1343 and records that Mathilde renounced Oct 1344 her succession rights in favour of her two brothers “se réservant ce qu’elle possédoit en la Seigneurie d’Ovans”[1389]. m secondly ([1360/68]) as her second husband, MARGUERITE de Coligny, widow of AIMAR de Beauvoir Seigneur de la Palu, daughter of ETIENNE [II] de Coligny Seigneur de Coligny et d’Andelot & his wife Eléonore de Thoire et Villars (-after 1383).

Père Anselme says that “elle vivoit encore en 1389” (no source cited)[1393]. Jean & his second wife had three children:

i) HENRI de Salins (-after 1400). Seigneur de Poupet. He paid homage 10 May 1385 to the seigneur d’Arlay for the château de Poupet[1394].

An undated charter [dated to “vers 1369”?] acknowledged payments following the marriage of “damoiselle Hugueette de Grantson fille de messire Jacques de Grantson sgr. de Pesmes, feme de messire Henry de Salins escuier sgr de Popet”[1398].

Chapter 21. SEIGNEURS de TRAVES

Traves was located on the river Saône near Vesoul, north of Besançon[1461].

[Two] brothers, parents not identified:

1. HUGUES de Traves (-after [1072]). “Dominus castri...Treva...Hugonis” founded the church of Saint-Marcel, with the support of “filiis meis, Girardo archidiacono, Widone, Hugone et Gisleberto”, by charter dated to [1072], witnessed by “domini Hugonis archiepiscopi Bisuntini, domini Alamerii fratris eius...”[1462]. m ---. The name of Hugues’s wife is not known. Hugues & his wife had four children:

a) GUY de Traves . “Dominus castri...Treva...Hugonis” founded the church of Saint-Marcel, with the support of “filiis meis, Girardo archidiacono, Widone, Hugone et Gisleberto”, by charter dated to [1072][1463].

b) HUGUES de Traves . “Dominus castri...Treva...Hugonis” founded the church of Saint-Marcel, with the support of “filiis meis, Girardo archidiacono, Widone, Hugone et Gisleberto”, by charter dated to [1072][1464].

c) GERARD de Traves . Archdeacon [of Besançon?]: “Dominus castri...Treva...Hugonis” founded the church of Saint-Marcel, with the support of “filiis meis, Girardo archidiacono, Widone, Hugone et Gisleberto”, by charter dated to [1072][1465].

d) GISELBERT de Traves (-after mid-1097). “Dominus castri...Treva...Hugonis” founded the church of Saint-Marcel, with the support of “filiis meis, Girardo archidiacono, Widone, Hugone et Gisleberto”, by charter dated to [1072][1466]. Albert of Aix names "…Robertus filius Gerardi…Milo…cognomine Louez…Walterus de Domedart et eius filius Bernardus…Ruthardus filius Godefridi…Rodulfus ditissimus copiarum…Gisilbertus de Treva [Traves] unus de principibus Burgundiæ…Oliverus de castro Jussi…Achar de Montmerla…Walterus de Verveis, Arnulfus de Tyr, Johannes de Namecca…" among those who took part in the siege of Nikaia, dated to mid-1097 from the context[1467].

2. [ALAMER de Traves (-after [1072]). “Dominus castri...Treva...Hugonis” founded the church of Saint-Marcel, with the support of “filiis meis, Girardo archidiacono, Widone, Hugone et Gisleberto”, by charter dated to [1072], witnessed by “domini Hugonis archiepiscopi Bisuntini, domini Alamerii fratris eius...”[1468]. It is assumed that the wording of the witness list means that the second witness was the brother of the founder not of the first witness.]

1. THIBAUT de Traves (-after 28 Oct 1157). Constable of the county of Bourgogne. “Comes Stephanus...et fratrem meum comitem Gerardum” settled disputes with Charlieu abbey, with the consent of “matris nostræ...comitis Willelmi patris nostri et avi nostri domini Theobaldi de Treva”, by charter dated 28 Oct 1157[1469]. m ALIX, daughter of --- (-23 Jan ----). The necrology of La Charité records the death “X Kal Feb” of “domina Alaida domina de Treua fundatrix huiusdomus”[1470]. Thibaut & his wife had [two] children:

a) PONCE de Traves (-15 Apr after 1156). Her parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 28 Oct 1157 under which [her sons] “comes Stephanus...et fratrem meum comitem Gerardum” settled disputes with Charlieu abbey, with the consent of “matris nostræ...comitis Willelmi patris nostri et avi nostri domini Theobaldi de Treva”[1471]. It is unlikely that she married Thibaut [I] Seigneur de Rougement: the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Aleyde comitissa qui fuit unica heres de Treva, relicta Theobaldi de Rogemont" as wife of "comitem Guilelmum"[1472]. Bouchard points out that Thibaut de Rougemont was still alive when Comte Guillaume is alleged to have married Ponce de Traves and suggests that the chronicle confused her with her mother[1473]. It is more likely that Alberic confused Ponce with her sister Alix who, as shown below, is reported to have married Thibaut [II] Seigneur de Rougemont. "Willelmus Masticonensis comes et Burgundie" donated "abbatiam de Balma" to Cluny by charter dated 14 Jun 1147, confirmed by "Poncia comitissa uxore mea et filiis meis Stephano et Gerardo"[1474]. The necrology of La Charité records the death “XVII Kal Mai” of “Poncia comitissa Burgundiæ”[1475]. m GUILLAUME [III] Comte de Mâcon, son of ETIENNE [I] "Tête-Hardi" Comte de Mâcon [Bourgogne-Comté] & his wife Beatrix of Lotharingia (before 1102-27 Sep 1155).

b) [ALIX de Traves . Abbé Guillaume names “Alix de Trave fille de Thibaud II Sire de Trave et sœur de Poncette de Trave, femme de Guillaume Comte de Mâcon” as wife of Thibaut [II] de Rougemont but does not cite the primary source which confirms this information[1476]. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified. m THIBAUT [II] de Rougemont Vicomte de Besançon, son of HUMBERT [I] Seigneur de Rougemont & his wife --- (-after 1213).]

2. GUY de Traves . “Wido de Treva” donated property “ad Senargens” to Lieucroissant abbey, with the consent of “Helya uxor sua et filius suus Stephanus et...Gislbertus vicecomes”, by undated charter “in castro Vesulii in domo Gisleberti vicecomitis”, dated to the second half of the 12th century[1477]. m HELIE, daughter of ---. “Wido de Treva” donated property “ad Senargens” to Lieucroissant abbey, with the consent of “Helya uxor sua et filius suus Stephanus et...Gislbertus vicecomes”, by undated charter “in castro Vesulii in domo Gisleberti vicecomitis”, dated to the second half of the 12th century[1478]. Guy & his wife had [three children]:

a) ETIENNE de Traves . “Wido de Treva” donated property “ad Senargens” to Lieucroissant abbey, with the consent of “Helya uxor sua et filius suus Stephanus et...Gislbertus vicecomes”, by undated charter “in castro Vesulii in domo Gisleberti vicecomitis”, dated to the second half of the 12th century[1479]. same person as...? ETIENNE de Traves (-after 1164). “Herbertus...Bisantinus electus” confirmed that “Stephanus et Raynaldus fratres de Treva” donated property “in Bullentoys, excepto tenemento Huonis fratrumque eius de Chamburniaco, qui appellantur de Bullentois” and except their “villam...apud Chamburniacum...[et] pasturis per Bullentes utentur” to Bellevaux by charter dated 1164[1480].

b) [RENAUD de Traves (-after 1164). Assuming that the first donor in the following document was the same person as Etienne de Traves, son of Guy de Traves, as suggested above, Renaud and their brother Hugues were also sons of Guy. “Herbertus...Bisantinus electus” confirmed that “Stephanus et Raynaldus fratres de Treva” donated property “in Bullentoys, excepto tenemento Huonis fratrumque eius de Chamburniaco, qui appellantur de Bullentois” and except their “villam...apud Chamburniacum...[et] pasturis per Bullentes utentur” to Bellevaux by charter dated 1164[1481].]

c) [HUGUES de [Chamburny] (-after 1164). Assuming that the first donor in the following document was the same person as Etienne de Traves, son of Guy de Traves, as suggested above, Renaud and their brother Hugues were also sons of Guy. “Herbertus...Bisantinus electus” confirmed that “Stephanus et Raynaldus fratres de Treva” donated property “in Bullentoys, excepto tenemento Huonis fratrumque eius de Chamburniaco, qui appellantur de Bullentois” and except their “villam...apud Chamburniacum...[et] pasturis per Bullentes utentur” to Bellevaux by charter dated 1164[1482]. His different family name suggests that Hugues may have been the uterine brother of the two donors.]

Two brothers. The chronology suggests that Renaud was the same person as Renaud de Traves who is named above.

1. RENAUD de Traves (-23 Sep, after 1157). Constable of the county of Bourgogne. The necrology of Besançon Saint-Paul records the death “IX Kal Oct” of “Rainaldus miles de Treva” and his wife’s donation “apud Salinas”[1483]. m ELISABETH [de Salins, daughter of HUMBERT [III] Seigneur de Salins & his wife ---]. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified. “Uxor eius...Elisabeth” donated property “apud Salinas” to Besançon Saint-Paul, for the soul of “Renaldi constabulis, fratris domini Petri Sancti Stephani decani”, with the consent of “fratris sui Gualcherii et filiorum suorum Rodulphi...et Petri...et Gualcherii”, by undated charter[1484]. Renaud & his wife had three children:

a) RODOLPHE de Traves . “Uxor eius...Elisabeth” donated property “apud Salinas” to Besançon Saint-Paul, for the soul of “Renaldi constabulis, fratris domini Petri Sancti Stephani decani”, with the consent of “fratris sui Gualcherii et filiorum suorum Rodulphi...et Petri...et Gualcherii”, by undated charter[1485].

b) PIERRE de Traves (-24 Feb ----). “Uxor eius...Elisabeth” donated property “apud Salinas” to Besançon Saint-Paul, for the soul of “Renaldi constabulis, fratris domini Petri Sancti Stephani decani”, with the consent of “fratris sui Gualcherii et filiorum suorum Rodulphi...et Petri...et Gualcherii”, by undated charter[1486]. The necrology of Besançon church records the death “XXIV Feb” of “Petrus filius Rainaldi de Treva”[1487].

c) GAUCHER de Traves . “Uxor eius...Elisabeth” donated property “apud Salinas” to Besançon Saint-Paul, for the soul of “Renaldi constabulis, fratris domini Petri Sancti Stephani decani”, with the consent of “fratris sui Gualcherii et filiorum suorum Rodulphi...et Petri...et Gualcherii”, by undated charter[1488].

2. PIERRE (-after 1157). “Uxor eius...Elisabeth” donated property “apud Salinas” to Besançon Saint-Paul, for the soul of “Renaldi constabulis, fratris domini Petri Sancti Stephani decani”, with the consent of “fratris sui Gualcherii et filiorum suorum Rodulphi...et Petri...et Gualcherii”, by undated charter[1489].

Traves passed to the Rougemont family, as indicated above, and in the mid-13th century to a junior branch of the Choiseul family. The reconstruction of the later generations of the following family is fraught with difficulty. What is proposed below is a suggestion which appears consistent with the limited number of primary sources and secondary sources which are available but should not be assumed to be the definitive answer.

ROBERT de Choiseul, son of RAYNARD [II] Seigneur de Choiseul & his second wife Alix de Dreux ([1225/30]-after Aug 1300, bur Morimond). Seigneur de Traves, de Scey-sur-Saône, de Grandville, de Bouz-le-Chastel[1490]. Père Anselme records that, “au nom de sa femme et de ses enfants”, Robert transferred “[des] biens assis au finage de Traves” to “Jean seigneur de Chaicey, chevalier” by charter dated 1 Apr 1247 (no source citation)[1491]. Europäische Stammtafeln indicates that this document refers to an earlier (presumably otherwise unrecorded) unnamed wife of Robert[1492]. No other indication has been found that this is correct, while the reference to Traves suggests that Isabelle de Rougemont (presumed heiress of Traves) was already his wife. Until further information comes to light, this supposed first marriage has not been included in the present document. “Jean sire de Choiseul et d’Aigremont” confirmed a donation, with the consent of “Bertremette dite Alix dame d’Aigremont sa femme et de ses frères Renard trésorier de Reims et Robert damoiseau, de ses sœurs Yoleas femme de Jean de Ray et Agnes”, by charter dated Aug 1252[1493]. “Alix domina de Treva” exchanged property with Charlieu abbey, with the consent of “Joannes dominus de Chosuel miles et Robertus domicellus frater eius, filii Aalix predictæ”, by charter dated Apr 1256[1494]. In addition to the above, Père Anselme records documents dated Sep 1259, Jun 1272, 12 Mar 1274, and Dec 1275 in which Robert was named[1495]. Vicomte de Besançon: “Robert de Choiseul chevalier seigneur de Traves et vicomte de Besançon” sealed a charter dated 27 Apr 1276 which records the sale of property to Sainte-Madeleine[1496]. Faget de Casteljau records that Robert de Choiseul repurchased the “vicomté de Besançon, engagée par Pierre de Montferrand à Hugues seigneur de Thoraise”, promising to grant it to “Eudes de Rougemont archévêque de Besançon” when he reimbursed the debt, by charter dated 1276[1497]. “Robert, sire de Traves, chevalier, et Isabelle, sa femme” issued a promise to Besançon Saint-Paul regarding a debt owed by “Jeanne, veuve de Huet de Rosey” by charter dated 17 Nov 1291[1498]. Père Anselme records “Humbert de Choiseul, seigneur de Traves” (no parents named) who “engagea le 3. juin 1294 au comte de Bourgogne la ville de Traves et ses dépendances pour 2000. liv”[1499]: presumably “Humbert” is an error for “Robert”. “Robert de Choiseul sire de Traves, et Isabelle, sa femme, dame de Traves” recorded a dispute with “Guillaume prieur de Marteroy” regarding property “au finage de Scey” by charter dated Aug 1300[1500]. According to Dubois, an inscription at Morimond records the burial of “Robert de Choiseul seigneur de Traves et Isabelle de Rougemont sa femme” who died 1280 and 1290[1501]. This epitaph is not recorded in the letter dated 4 Feb 1661 which records epitaphs of other members of the Choiseul family. In any case, the Aug 1300 charter cited above shows that the dates are incorrect.

m (before 1 Apr 1247) [as her second husband,] ISABELLE de Rougemont, [widow of GUILLAUME Seigneur de Montferrand,] daughter of THIBAUT [III] Seigneur de Rougemont & his wife --- (-after Aug 1300, bur Morimond). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 1259 under which [her father] Thibaut de Rougemont approved an agreement between “Robert de Choiseul son gendre” and the monks of La Charité[1502]. Her marriage date is indicated by the 1 Apr 1247 charter of her husband, cited above. She is presumed to have been heiress of Traves, which has passed to the Rougemont family with the marriage of her paternal grandfather. Faget de Casteljau says that Isabelle was “peut-être veuve de Guillaume de Montferrand et la mère de Pierre de Montferrand”[1503]. He does not discuss the basis for his conjecture, but notes that Robert de Choiseul and his wife Isabelle sold the seigneurie de Cerre-lès-Noroy, with the consent of “Thibaud de Rougemont et de Pierre de Montferrand” (no source citation) which could be explained by Pierre de Montferrand holding an interest in the property by inheritance. Another possibility is that the property in question was one of the properties of the vicomté de Besançon which was sold by the Rougemont family to the seigneur de Montferrand. If that is correct, there may have been no Montferrand/Rougemont family relationship. In addition, the chronology is not ideal: the birth of Isabelle’s known husband Robert de Choiseul (by whom she had [five] children) can be estimated to [1225/30], whereas the birth of Pierre de Montferrand, son of Guillaume de Montferrand estimated to [1230/40] as shown below. Faget notes that Robert and Isabelle donated “la moitié du moulin de la Verre” to Bellevaux abbey, with the consent of “Pierre de Montferrand et Thibauit fils d’Humbert de Rougemont”, by charter dated 1265[1504]. “Robert, sire de Traves, chevalier, et Isabelle, sa femme” issued a promise to Besançon Saint-Paul regarding a debt owed by “Jeanne, veuve de Huet de Rosey” by charter dated 17 Nov 1291[1505]. “Robert de Choiseul sire de Traves, et Isabelle, sa femme, dame de Traves” recorded a dispute with “Guillaume prieur de Marteroy” regarding property “au finage de Scey” by charter dated Aug 1300[1506]. According to Dubois, an inscription at Morimond records the burial of “Robert de Choiseul seigneur de Traves et Isabelle de Rougemont sa femme” who died 1280 and 1290[1507]. This epitaph is not recorded in the letter dated 4 Feb 1661 which records epitaphs of other members of the Choiseul family. In any case, the Aug 1300 charter cited above shows that the dates are incorrect.

Robert & his wife had [five] children:

1. RAYNARD [I] de Choiseul (-[1285?/Oct 1293]). “Renardus de Choiseul domicellus filius domini Roberti de Choiseul et Margarita uxor eius filia Henrici quondam domini Branciduni” ratified the sale of land by [his father-in-law] Henri de Brancion, with the consent of “Robertus de Choiseul dominus de Trave”, by charter dated Feb 1272[1508]. Père Anselme names him “Bernard”[1509], which must be an error in light of the documents cited here. Raynard [I] is recorded as deceased in the Oct 1293 charter cited below under his daughter Fauque[1510]. The date is presumably based on Bazin, who says that “Renaud de Traves” died “avant 1293” (no source cited)[1511]. No indication has been found of his precise date of death but, assuming he was the father of all seven children shown below, it is unlikely that he died before the mid-1280s. m (before Feb 1272) as her first husband, MARGUERITE de Brancion, daughter of HENRI Grossus Seigneur de Brancion & his second wife Fauque [de Poinrere/de l’Epervière] ([1255/58?]-after 1293). “Madame Fauque fille Monseignor Guillaume de la Poinrere...cey en arriers femme Monseignor Henri de Brancion” confirmed the sale of “Brancion...Usseles...Baumont...la Coloume que aucun apelent la Poinrere...” to Hugues IV Duke of Burgundy by her husband, the duke confirming to her the fief “la Porcherece” and nearby land, while making some provision for “la fille de la devant dite Dame Fauque et dou devant dit Henri...Marguerite”, by charter dated Feb 1261[1512]. Niepce records that Laives was her dowry on her marriage (no source cited)[1513]. “Renardus de Choiseul domicellus filius domini Roberti de Choiseul et Margarita uxor eius filia Henrici quondam domini Branciduni” ratified the sale of land by [his father-in-law] Henri de Brancion, with the consent of “Robertus de Choiseul dominus de Trave”, by charter dated Feb 1272[1514]. She married secondly (Feb 1293[1515]) Geoffroy d’Auxelles Seigneur de la Franchevelle. Europäische Stammtafeln records her second marriage in 1293 to “Geoffroy sn d’Auxelles, test. Jan 1302, 13 Nov 1302†”[1516]: the corresponding primary sources have not been identified. Raynard [I] & his wife had [eight] children (considerable doubt persists about the names, number, and even the separate existence of these children as will be explained below):

a) --- de Traves ([1272/73?]-after 1300?). As his presumed granddaughter was heiress of Traves, it is assumed that she was descended from the oldest son of Raynard [I]. Seigneur de Traves, presuming that he succeeded his paternal grandfather. The name of this person is uncertain: (1) Père Anselme records “Renaud de Choiseul, chevalier, sire de Traves” as the first son of “Bernard [error for Raynard] de Choiseul sire de Traves” and his wife Marguerite de Brancion (no source cited)[1517]: no primary source has been found which names “Raynard [II]”, so maybe Anselme was in error as he was when naming this person’s father “Bernard”; (2) as noted below, maybe one of Raynard [I]’s sons Thibaut or Pierre (if they both existed, see below) was the oldest son.. No indication has been found of when this oldest son died, but his apparent absence from sources suggests that he did not long survive his grandfather. m ([1295/1300?]) ---. No indication has been found of the name of this person’s wife, who is not named by Père Anselme. [One child]:

i) [--- de Traves [daughter?] ([1295/1298?]-). Père Anselme does not name any children of the person he names “Renaud de Choiseul” but notes that “une de ses héritières porta la terre de Traves dans la maison de Toulongeon [=Marguerite de Sennecey, daughter of Alix, who married Jean Seigneur de Toulongeon], d’où par une autre héritière elle passa dans celle de Clermont d’Amboise”[1518]. As noted below under Raynard [I]’s son Guillaume, Bazin records that the latter was succeeded in Laives by “sa nièce Alix” who brought that property into the Sennecey family when she married “Guillaume de Sennecey” (no source cited)[1519]. As noted below, if Alix was the descendant of the oldest son of Raynard [I] de Traves (which seems likely as she was heiress of Traves), the chronology suggests that she was his granddaughter (Bazin therefore presumably using “niece” in an extended sense to include “great-niece”) not his daughter. If that is correct, no indication has been found whether Alix’s father or mother belonged to the Choiseul family, although the suggested date of Alix’s birth may suggest that it was her mother. If that is correct, the family name of her father is not known. m ([1313/19]?) ---. [One child]:

(1) [ALIX ([1315/20?]-after 1376). Heiress of Traves and Laives. As noted above, Bazin indicates “sa nièce Alix” as the heiress of Guillaume de Traves Seigneur de Laives. He does not name her parents, although her transmission of Traves to her husband suggests that she was descended from the oldest son of Raynard [I] de Choiseul-Traves. Various unsourced “genealogy” internet sites name Alix as the daughter of Pierre de Traves, son of Raynard [I] (see below): as indicated above, one of the possibilities is that Pierre was the name of Raynard’s oldest son. This suggestion is also discussed by Poissonnier, whose work has not yet been consulted[1520]. Alix’s birth date is estimated from the likely birth date of her husband and the marriage date of their daughter Marguerite (who brought Traves to her Toulongeon husband as noted above). If that estimated date is correct, it is likely that Alix was the grandaughter of Raynard [I]’s oldest son not his daughter. Niepce, in his work on the Sennecey family, says that Guillaume [II] de Sennecey married “une Alide, de laquelle, dit Saint-Julien de Balleure, je n’ai pu trouver le surnom”: he cites no sources which name “Alide” with her husband[1521]. The primary sources which confirm all this information have not been identified. Alix survived her husband as indicated by a charter cited under her son Jean (follow her husband’s hyperlink). m ([1330/33?]) GUILLAUME [II] Seigneur de Sennecey, son of GUILLAUME [I] Seigneur de Sennecey & his wife Marguerite de Frolois ([1308/12?]-1376).]

b) [THIBAUT] de Traves (-after Aug 1304, maybe after 10 Nov 1315). Thibaut is not mentioned by Père Anselme. Seigneur de la Porcheresse (inherited from his mother): a charter dated Aug 1304 records an agreement between “Johannem dominum de Antuilleyo [Antully], domicellum” and “Theobaldum de Troves dominum de la Pourcheroce, domicellum” regarding properties “inter villam de la Pourcheroce et villam de Antuilleyo...”[1522]. Poissonnier says that “même si nous n’en avons pas la preuve, il s’agit à l’évidence d’un fils de Renard de Choiseul et de Marguerite de Brancion”[1523]. As noted below under Pierre, Poissonnier speculates that “Thibaut” in this document was an error for “Pierre”. If they were two different persons, and assuming that the reconstruction presented by Père Anselme is correct (of which there is no guarantee), the brothers could have been co-seigneurs de la Porcheresse. Alternatively, Pierre could have succeeded to Porcheresse after Thibaut died (Thibaut’s mention in 1304 suggests that he was older than Pierre, assuming that Anselme correctly dates the latter’s mention to 1305). Another possibility is presumably that Thibaut was his father’s oldest son, that he succeeded to his mother’s property Porcheresse during his paternal grandfather’s lifetime, and then succeeded as seigneur de Traves when his grandfather died. At that time Porcheresse would have passed to his (younger) brother Pierre. No primary sources have been identified which confirm these speculations. On the other hand, a list of vassals of the duchy of Burgundy dated 10 Nov 1315 includes “à Beaune...Thibaut de Traves, escuyer...”[1524], which may either refer to Thibaut son of Raynard [I] or to an otherwise unknown brother of Henri de Traves (see below).

c) [[PIERRE] de Traves (-[after 1305?]). Père Anselme records “Pierre de Choiseul, dit de Traves, seigneur de la Porcheresse et de Diombes; vivoit en 1305” as second son of “Bernard de Choiseul sire de Traves” [error for Raynard] and his wife Marguerite de Brancion[1525]. Poissonnier suggests that Pierre could have been the same person as Thibaut: he records that Pierre, “connu pour être à l’origine de cette branche de Traves [presumably based only on Père Anselme] mais sur lequel nous n’avons retrouvé aucun document...pourrait être le frère [de Thibaut] (à moins qu’il ne s’agisse d’un seul et même personnage?)”[1526]. No primary source has been found which names Pierre or indeed confirms that he existed: maybe Anselme was in error, as he was when naming his father “Bernard”. Nevertheless, Anselme’s citing the date “1305” suggests the existence of a primary source document which he had seen. As noted above, various unsourced “genealogy” internet sites name Alix (heiress of Traves, see above) as the daughter of Pierre. If that is correct, Pierre could have been his father’s oldest son (although, in that case, the reason for his name is unclear as it does not appear to have been a family name). In that scenario, Pierre may have succeeded to his mother’s property Porcheresse during his paternal grandfather’s lifetime, and then succeeded as seigneur de Traves when his grandfather died. At that time Porcheresse would have passed to his (younger) brother Thibaut. No primary sources have been identified which confirm these speculations. m (before 1305) ALIX de Bourbon, daughter of --- (-after 1305). Père Anselme names “Alix de Bourbon l’Archambault” as Pierre’s wife, noting that they were named together in 1305[1527]. She has not been traced in the Bourbon family (see the document BOURBON). If Pierre did not exist, Alix could presumably have been the wife either of Thibaut or of the oldest brother.]

d) [--- de Traves (-before 18 May 1315). The father of Henri, and ancestor of the later seigneurs de la Porcheresse, was presumably the survivor of either Thibaut or Pierre who are named above (assuming that they both existed as separate persons). Père Anselme records “Henry de Choiseul, dit de Traves, seigneur de la Porcheresse et de Diombes” as son of Pierre[1528], but as noted elsewhere in this section his reconstruction of the Choiseul-Traves family is far from reliable. If Pierre was his father’s oldest son, and ancestor of Alix heiress of Traves (see above), it is unlikely that he was the father of Henri who would presumably have inherited Traves, instead of Alix, and passed the fief to his descendants. The father of Henri, whatever his identity, presumably died before the 18 May 1315 document cited below which names his son.] [Two] children::

i) HENRI de Traves (-after Jul 1334). Seigneur de la Porcheresse. Poissonnier records that the existence of Henri “est prouvée depuis 1315 environ”[1529]. This presumably relates to the following document: a list of vassals of the duchy of Burgundy dated 18 May 1315 includes “à Volnay : Henri de Traves, sire de la Plancherotte” [presumably a mistranscription for “Porcheresse”][1530]. “Henri de Traves, damoiseau, sire de La Porcheresse, et Jeannette de Chamblans, sa femme” let several of their properties by charter dated Jul 1334[1531]. m JEANNETTE de Chamblans, daughter of --- (-after Jul 1334). She is named with her husband in the Jul 1334 charter cited above.

- SEIGNEURS de la PORCHERESSE[1532].

ii) [THIBAUT de Traves (-after 10 Nov 1315). A list of vassals of the duchy of Burgundy dated 10 Nov 1315 includes “à Beaune...Thibaut de Traves, escuyer...”[1533], which may either refer to Thibaut (see above) son of Raynard [I] or to an otherwise unknown brother of Henri de Traves.]

e) GUILLAUME de Traves (-after 1299). Bazin records his parentage (no source cited)[1534]. He is not mentioned by Père Anselme. Seigneur de Laives (inherited from his mother): “Guillaume de Traves...seigneur de Laives...por moi et por mes frères” issued a charter dated 1299[1535]: the phrase “por mes frères” suggests that Guillaume was co-seigneur with two or more of his brothers. [“Guillaume de Traves...seigneur de Laives” donated “tous ses prés sis dans la prairie de Raveneaul, avec la justice” to the monks of La Ferté-sur-Grosne by charter dated 23 Jun 1354[1536]. “Dominus Guillaume de Traves et de Layve, miles” confirmed donations made “par ses prédécesseurs dans la paroisse de Saint-Martin de Laives” to La Ferté, “surtout parce que plusieurs de ses parents et amis avaient leur sépulture dans cette abbaye”, confirmed his own donation of “ses prés de Raveneaul”, and donated other property by charter dated 23 Apr 1356[1537]. Bazin says that the donor was Guillaume de Traves, son of Raynard [I]. Niepce, however, noting that the donor was named “seigneur de Traves” in both documents, identifies him as Guillaume [II] Seigneur de Sennecey who is named above and inherited Traves from his wife Alix[1538]: the reference in the 23 Apr 1356 document to “ses prédécesseurs”, in light of the Sennecey family’s numerous connections with the abbey of La Ferté-sur-Grosne, suggests that Niepce was right.] Bazin records that Guillaume was succeeded in Laives by “sa nièce Alix” (see above) who brought the property into the Sennecey family when she married “Guillaume de Sennecey” (no source cited)[1539].

f) [MARGUERITE [de Choiseul] (-after 2 May 1315). Heiress of Scey-sur-Saône: a manuscript cites an inscription at Scey-sur-Saône “[en] la chapelle de Baufremont...le seigr de Baufremont qui espousa l’héritière de Scey de la maison de Choiseul que l’on void à son costé sans inscription ny milliaire, mais il porte une cotte d’armes aux armes de Baufremont”[1540]. As Scey-sur-Saône was held by Robert de Choiseul Seigneur de Traves (see above), it is reasonable to suppose therefore that the wife of the unnamed seigneur de Bauffremont recorded in this inscription was his descendant. Other sources cited below indicate another Marguerite de Choiseul, Robert’s supposed daughter, as the possible first wife of Liébaud [IV] Seigneur de Bauffremont. As that supposed couple had no children, it is unlikely that she was the heiress to whom the Scey-sur-Saône inscription refers. It is probable that the inscription refers to Gauthier Seigneur de Bauffremont (son of Liébaud [IV]) and his wife, as their second son Huard inherited Scey-sur-Saône. Several secondary sources do name “Marguerite de Choiseul” as Gauthier’s wife, without naming her parents: for example, Plancher in 1741[1541] and Lefebvre in the early 20th century[1542]. The question is confused by another line of authors who name Gauthier’s wife as Robert’s daughter, despite the obvious chronological difficulty: for example, in 1740 Iselin (following Père Anselme[1543]) recorded that “Margaretam”, daughter of “Robertus von Choiseul, Herr von Traves” and “Isabella von Rougemont”, married “Vaucherium Herrn von Baufremont”[1544]. Bert M. Kamp has recently highlighted that the chronological difficulty is best resolved if Gauthier’s wife was an otherwise unrecorded daughter of Raynard [I] de Choiseul, Robert’s oldest son[1545], and it is indeed plausible that Robert could have allocated Scey-sur-Saône to the daughter of his deceased oldest son in his succession. The question is further confused by early secondary sources recording Gauthier’s wife as a completely different person: for example Dunod names her “Jeanne de Scey” (no source cited, no parents named)[1546], while Courcelles names “Jeanne de Scey, fille d’Otton seigneur de Scey en Varias et de N... de Neufchâtel” as Gauthier’s wife[1547]. Courcelles’s reference suggests confusion between Scey-en-Varais (now Scey-Maisières in the département Doubs) and Scey-sur-Saône (now Scey-sur-Saône et Saint-Albin in the département Haute-Saône), although presumably it is possible that Jeanne was another wife of Gauthier, married either before or after Marguerite. The issue is confused even further by a charter dated 2 May 1315 in which “Vauthiers chivaliers sires de Beffroyment” sold “la moities de tous les dismes gros...de la ville d’Orville” to the church of La Mothe, with the consent of “mon madame Marguerite de Choüe ma feme” (original partly damaged)[1548]: the editor of this document interpreted “Choüe” as “Choiseul”, which is unexpected considering that the name is usually written as today in contemporary primary source documentation in French, while the Latin is usually “Chosolio” or “Caseoli”. Europäische Stammtafeln identifies Gauthier’s wife as “Marguerite de Crus (heute: Creue, Meuse), 1315”[1549]: no “Crus” family has been identified. Europäische Stammtafeln dates Gauthier’s marriage to “before 2 May 1313[1550], although the chronology of the couple’s descendants suggests an earlier date, say [1300/05?]. The latter date would be consistent with Marguerite being the daughter of Raynard [I] de Choiseul-Traves. m ([1300/05?]) GAUTHIER Seigneur de Bauffremont, son of LIEBAUD [IV] Seigneur de Bauffremont & his [second] wife Adéline d’Epinal (-[1335]).]

g) FAUQUE de Choiseul (-after Oct 1293). Faget de Casteljau records that “Faulques de Choiseul fille de Renard seigneur de Traves” was named in a charter dated 1293 which records an agreement between “Faulques de Cortevais veuve d’Henri de Brancion” and Lancharre abbey[1551]. Canat de Chizy and Niepce quote from the original charter: “Falqua domina de Cortevais, relicta...Henrici quondam domini Branceduni” donated property to Lancharre “si...Falqueta, impubes filia Renaldi de Traves, quondam domicelli, et uxoris sue Margarite, filie nostre, benefacta sit monialis Eucherie” by charter dated Oct 1293[1552]. Nun at Lancharre.

h) [ISABELLE de Traves . Europäische Stammtafeln records Isabelle as the possible daughter of Raynard [I], with her two marriages, noting “1299/1309” as dates for her second husband[1553]. The corresponding primary sources have not been identified. Dame de Cortevaix. Presumably another possibility is that Isabelle was the widow of one of the brothers named above. m firstly --- de Louaise, son of ---. m secondly HUGUES de Neublans Seigneur de Fretterans, son of --- (-after 1309).]

2. THIBAUT de Choiseul (-after 1276). Faget de Casteljau records that “Thibaut de Choiseul-Traves” was named with his father in a charter for Marteroy priory dated 1276[1554].

3. RENIER de Choiseul (-after 1295). Faget de Casteljau records that “Renier de Choiseul...Jean de Choiseul, tous deux fils de Robert seigneur de Traves” reached agreement with the town of Besançon by charter dated 1295[1555].

4. JEAN de Choiseul (-after 1302). Faget de Casteljau records that “Renier de Choiseul...Jean de Choiseul, tous deux fils de Robert seigneur de Traves” reached agreement with the town of Besançon by charter dated 1295[1556]. “Jean de Traves fils de Robert de Choiseul” gave receipt for a loan from “Mahaut d’Artois” to whom he mortgaged “son fief de Boult” by way of guarantee by charter dated 1300, and another dated 1302[1557].

5. [MARGUERITE de Choiseul (-[after Mar 1271]). Courcelles states that she was Marguerite, wife of Liébaud [IV] de Bauffremont, was “fille de Robert de Choiseul chevalier sire de Traves, de Scey, de Granville, et d’Isabelle de Rougemont, et petite-fille de Renaud de Choiseul”, that she was “dame de Scey-sur-Saône”, and records that she and her husband were named in a charter dated 1283 (no citation reference)[1558]. If Marguerite was a member of the Choiseul family, the chronology suggests that this parentage may be correct. [“Libaldus dominus de Biaffroimont miles filius Agnetis quondam comitisse Ferretensis” donated property to Toul, with the consent of "uxoris mee M. de Caseolo et Galteri fratris mei electi Tullensis et Hugonis et Petri fratrum meorum", for the soul of “Petri patris mei quondam domini de Biaffroimont”, by charter dated Mar 1271[1559].] Léopold Delisle raised serious doubts about the authenticity of this document, as discussed in the introduction to the chapter dealing with the seigneurs de Bauffremont[1560]. It is not known whether any of the information relating to Marguerite is correct or even whether this Marguerite ever existed. If Liébaud did marry Marguerite, she would have been his first wife. A document dated 1302 (see Bauffremont) shows that Marguerite was not the mother of Liébaud’s sons Gauthier and Huard. That document lists the properties divided between Gauthier and his brother. These properties do not include Scey-sur-Saône. Père Anselme records Marguerite, daughter of Robert de Choiseul-Traves, as the wife of “Vauther sire de Baufremont, de Valengin et de Soye, avec lequel elle vivoit en 1283”[1561]: as Gauthier was the son of Liébaud [IV], Anselme’s suggestion is impossible chronologically and presumably the date 1283 is an error. [m [as his first wife,] LIEBAUD [IV] Seigneur de Bauffremont, son of PIERRE [I] Seigneur de Bauffremont & his wife Agnes de Vergy (-[Oct] 1302).]]

As noted above, Traves passed from the Choiseul-Traves family to the seigneurs de Sennecey. After the death in the early 15th century of Jean Seigneur de Sennecy (son of Guillaume [II] who is named above with his wife Alix), Traves passed to the Toulongeon descendants of his sister Marguerite. An outline of the Toulongeon family is shown below: see Europäische Stammtafeln for a fuller reconstruction[1562]. The primary sources which confirm the following information have not been identified unless otherwise stated.

Chapter 22. SEIGNEURS de VILLERSEXEL

AIMON de Faucogney, son of AIMON de Rougemont Vicomte de Vesoul & his wife Elisabeth --- (-after Feb 1294). “Aymo dominus de Falcoygneio et vicecomes Visulii” donated “mansum Hugonis de Andelarre...apud Andelarret” to Bellevaux, with the consent of “domine Elisabeth uxoris mee et filiorum meorum Johannis, Aymonis, Theobaldi et Hugonis et filie mee Elisabeth”, by charter dated 1240[1571]. “[Elizabeth de] Vilarii saysel” donated “mansum...apud Andelarat” to Bellevaux abbey, with the consent of “Johannis domini de Faconeio filii meie et aliorum liberorum meorum...Haymonis, Theobardi et Hugonis”, for the soul of “Haymonis quondam domini de Faconeio mariti mei”, by charter dated Feb 1247 (O.S.)[1572]. Seigneur de Villersexel. “Johannes dominus Fauconneii et vicecomes Visurii et Haymo dominus Vilarii frater eius” confirmed the donations made on his deathbed by “consanguineus noster Odo dominus Donne Petre super Salonem” to Theuray abbey, with the consent of “Johanna uxor predicti Odonis, Ricardus et Hugo et alii liberi eorundem”, by charter dated Apr 1259[1573]. Aimon de Faucogney granted privileges to the inhabitants of Faucogney, on the advice of “son oncle Hayme de Faucoigney seigneur de Vilers”, with the consent of “damiselle Jeanne sa femme et de Joffroi son frère”, by charter dated May 1275[1574]. “Haymonins sires de Faucogneix” acknowledged holding “Chastenoy” from “Phelippe conte de Borgoingne et de Savoie et...Alis sa feme” by charter dated Sep 1276, sealed by “monseignour Haymon de Faucoigney seignour de Viler mon oncle et monsi Thiebaut seignour de Rogemont”[1575].

m ---. The primary source which names Aimon’s wife has not been identified.

Aimon & his wife had two children:

1. JEAN de Faucogney (-before 1344). The testament of Hugues de Faucogney, dated 1306, appointed as his heirs “ses neveux Jean Sire de Faucogney, Otto et Jean de Saint-Loup enfans de Geoffroy de Faucogney, Jean et Aymé fils d’Aymé Sire de Villersexel”[1577]. Seigneur de Villersexel. m MARGUERITE de Clairvaux, daughter of HUMBERT Seigneur de Clairvaux & his wife Isabelle d’Avilley (-after 1344). Abbé Guillaume records her family origin and marriage[1578]. Jean & his wife had four children:

a) AIMON de Faucogney (-1360). Seigneur de Villersexel. The testament of “domini Humberti de Vilario Saixel militis quondam domini de castro de Joux”, dated end-Jan 1345, appointed “fratrem meum dominum Aymonem dominum de Vilario Sexel...militem” as his universal heir[1579]. m ([1340/45?]) JEANNE de la Roche, daughter of RICHARD Comte de la Roche [en Montagne] & his wife Mathilde de Montfaucon (before 1329-before 22 Jul 1360). Loye records that Jeanne, older daughter of Richard Comte de la Roche, married “Aimé de Faucogney sire de Villersexel” and that “Henri leur fils aîné” inherited the county of la Roche on the death in 1360 of his maternal grandmother[1580]. Aimon & his wife had three children:

i) HENRI de Villersexel (-1412). Comte de la Roche 1360. Loye records that Jeanne, older daughter of Richard Comte de la Roche, married “Aimé de Faucogney sire de Villersexel” and that “Henri leur fils aîné” inherited the county of la Roche on the death in 1360 of his maternal grandmother[1581].

- COMTES de la ROCHE [en Montagne].

ii) SIMONETTE de Villersexel ([1350?]-12 Mar 1412, bur Cusance). The testament of “Symonate de Viler Sexel dame de Flaigey, relicte de feu...Girart de Cusance chevalier jaidiz seigneur dudit Flaigey”, dated 7 Apr 1404 (O.S.) published late Nov 1415, chose burial “en l’englise du priourey de Cusance” where her husband was buried, named “mon...filz Jehan de Cusance” as her heir, with “mon...frere...Henry comte de la Roche et seigneur de Viler Sexel” as substitute, bequeathed property to “ma...suer dame Marguerite de Viler dame de Vile feme feu...Jehan de Ville...ma niepce dame Jehanne de Viller Sexel femme de...Jehan de Montgoye...”, and appointed “mondit frere...Henry...mon...nepveur frere Jehan dudit Viler de l’ordre de Saint Jehan de Jherusalem...” as executors[1582]. A tomb at Cusance priory records the burial of “monseigneur Girard de Cusance, chevalier” who died 25 Apr 1408 and “dame Simonne de Villers, dame de Flagey” who died 12 Mar 1411 (O.S.)[1583]. m GERARD de Cusance Seigneur de Flagey, son of GAUTHIER de Cusance Seigneur de Flagey & his wife --- de Vienne (-25 Apr 1408, bur Cusance).

iii) MARGUERITE de Villersexel ([1350?]-after 7 Apr 1405). The testament of “Symonate de Viler Sexel dame de Flaigey, relicte de feu...Girart de Cusance chevalier jaidiz seigneur dudit Flaigey”, dated 7 Apr 1404 (O.S.) published late Nov 1415, bequeathed property to “ma...suer dame Marguerite de Viler dame de Vile feme feu...Jehan de Ville...”[1584]. m ([1365?]) JEAN de Ville Seigneur de Ville et de Domjulien, son of --- (-before 7 Apr 1405). One child:

Seigneur de Ville. m ([1385/90?]) ISABELLE d’Epinal, daughter of ARNOUL Avoué d’Epinal & his wife Alix de Fontoy ([1370/75?]-after 2 Apr 1413).

b) HUMBERT de Villersexel (-Myrre, Cilicia before Dec 1345, bur Clervaux). Seigneur de Clervaux. The testament of “domini Humberti de Vilario Saixel militis quondam domini de castro de Joux”, dated end-Jan 1345, requested burial “in ecclesia parrochiali de Clara valle”, recorded the possibility of future children by his wife, appointed “fratrem meum dominum Aymonem dominum de Vilario Sexel...militem” as his universal heir, made bequests to “Ysabelle et Guillelmete sororibus meis”, appointed “...domnum Aymonem archidiaconum bisuntinum patruum meum...” as executors[1586]. A monumental inscription at Clervaux records the burial of “Messire Humbert de Viller, Sires de Clerevalx” who died “outre mer à Mierre” and was buried “le jour de Sainte-Luce” 1345, erected by “Madame Marguerite fille ou Conte de La Roche, femme d’oudit mon Signour”[1587]. m as her first husband, MARGUERITE de la Roche, daughter of RICHARD Comte de la Roche [en Montagne] & his wife Mathilde de Montfaucon (-after Jul 1372). Her family origin and first marriage are confirmed by a monumental inscription at Clervaux which records the burial of her husband which was erected by “Madame Marguerite fille ou Conte de La Roche, femme d’oudit mon Signour”[1588]. She married secondly ([21 Jan 1346]) [as his second wife,] Guillaume de Thoire et de Villars Seigneur de Beauvoir [en Montagne] et du Chastelard. Abbé Guillaume records that Marguerite married secondly “Guillaume de Thoire-Villars chevalier Seigneur de Beauvoir [en Montagne] et du Chastelard [dans le Pays de Dombe]”[1589]. On the other hand, Loye records that Marguerite, younger daughter of Richard Comte de la Roche, married “Jean de Senecey”[1590], which is difficult to reconcile with the other information quoted here. Marguerite’s second marriage with Guillaume de Thoire appears to be confirmed by the following: Guichenon records that Guillaume de Thoire granted “le chasteau de Beauvoir” to Marguerite, which she sold by charter dated 21 Jan 1345 (presumably O.S.) “par l’entremise de Guillaume de Vienne chevalier Seigneur de Sainte-Croix”[1591]. This information has not been checked as the corresponding primary source has not been found. She married thirdly Jacques de Vienne Seigneur de Longwy et de Bellevesvre. Abbé Guillaume records that Marguerite married thirdly “Jacques de Vienne chevalier Sire de Longvy”[1592]. The testament of “Jaiques de Vienne sires de Longvi”, dated 12, 13 & 20 Jul 1372 published [late Oct/early Nov] 1372, bequeathed property to “...Jehanne ma...fille...ma...compaigne dame Marguerite de la Roiche dame de Lonvy sa mere...”[1593].

c) ISABELLE de Villersexel (-1368). The testament of “domini Humberti de Vilario Saixel militis quondam domini de castro de Joux”, dated end-Jan 1345, made bequests to “Ysabelle et Guillelmete sororibus meis”[1594].
