Chapter 1. COMTES de MONTBELIARD [MÖMPELGARD]
The county of Montbéliard (Mömpelgard in German) developed around the town of the same name which lies equidistant from Besançon to the south-west and Mulhouse to the north-east, in the north-eastern part of the medieval county of Burgundy. It retained its separate identity as a county well into the 18th century, when it was ruled by a younger branch of the family of the dukes of Württemberg who had acquired the territory by marriage in the early 15th century.
A. COMTES de MONTBELIARD
THIERRY de Mousson, son of THIERRY de Mousson & his wife Ermentrude de Bourgogne [Comté] ([1076/78]-[mid-Jan] 1163). "Filia Wilelmi comitis de Burgundia Hermentrudis et filii sui Fridericus, Raginaudus, Theodericus" founded the Cluniac abbey of Froidefontaine by charter dated 8 Mar 1105 in which she names "suis antecessoribus…filiis autem Theoderici atque sue uxoris Hermentrudis, Lodewico, Wilelmo, Hugone"[1]. He inherited his families territories along the Meuse valley in 1103. He was expelled by his Meuse subjects in [1113] because of his intolerable behaviour, and transferred to the county of Montbéliard: the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Theodericus" as brother of "Raynaldum…comes Barri et Montionis" specifying that Thierry was expelled in 1113 and retained only the county of Montbéliard[2]. Comte de Montbéliard. Etienne Bishop of Metz declared that “frater meus Teodericus comes de Montbiliart” recognised the incorrectness of his claims relating to Gorze Abbey by charter dated to [1138/63], naming “cognati nostri Theoderic, Mettensis primicerii”[3]. A charter dated to [1145] confirms the donations to Belchamp abbey by "dominus Theodericus comes de Monte Beligardis", with the consent of "Theoderici filii sui"[4]. 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 “...Theodoricus comes de Monte Belli Cordis...”, by charter dated “V Non Mai” 1147[5]. "Theodericus comes de Monte Biligardis" donated toll revenues to numerous abbeys, after the death of "Theoderici filii mei", by charter dated 1160[6]. His death, and that of his son, are recorded in 1163 and before 1160 respectively in the necrology of the abbey of Saint-Pierre le Vif, Sens, where their supposed ancestor Louis died [1016/25][7]. m ---. The name of Thierry's wife is not known. Comte Thierry & his wife had four children: 1. SOPHIE de Montbéliard (-Apr 1148). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to the first of the two daughters of "Theodoricum de Monte Beliardi" as the wife of "Richardus de Monte Falconis", and their sons "Amedeum Montis Beliardi et archiepiscopum Theodericum Bisuntinensem"[8]. The necrology of Besançon Saint-Etienne records the death in Apr 1148 of "Sophia uxor Richardi de Montefalcone"[9]. m ([1124/30]) RICHARD de Montfaucon, son of AMEDEE Seigneur de Montfaucon & his wife --- de Neuchâtel (-1162). 2. ETIENNETTE de Montbéliard (-after 4 Dec 1160). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to the second of the two daughters of "Theodoricum de Monte Beliardi" as the mother of "Ludovicus de Salvernia"[10]. Her name is confirmed by the charter dated 1172 under which her son "Ludovicus senior comes de Sarwerden" records donations by "avus meus dominus Fridericus comes de Sarwerden et uxor eius Gertrudis…domino Volmaro patre meo et Stephania mea matre…frater meus Ludovicus" to the abbey of Wœrschweiler (Wernereswilre)[11]. m FOLMAR von Saarwerden, son of FRIEDRICH [I] Graf von Saarwerden & his wife Gertrud --- (-1165 or after). He took part in the Second Crusade, returning before 10 Aug 1149 when he is recorded at Varangéville[12]. 3. ERMENTRUDE de Montbéliard (-1171 or before). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 1171 under which her nephew "Amedeus comes Montis Beligardis" donated property to the abbey of Belchamp, for the soul of "Ermentrudis materteræ suæ comitissæ de Rupe", witnessed by "…Oto comes de Rupe præfate comitisse sponsus…"[13]. m EUDES de la Roche, son of SIMON Comte de la Roche & his wife --- (-after 6 Sep 1178). 4. THIERRY de Montbéliard (-before 1160). A charter dated to [1145] confirms the donations to Belchamp abbey by "dominus Theodericus comes de Monte Beligardis", with the consent of "Theoderici filii sui"[14]. "Teodoricus comes Montis Biligardis" donated property to the church of Saint-Maimbœuf de Montbéliard, with the consent of "patris mei T. comitis…coniux nostra Gertrudis", by charter dated to [1155], witnessed by "Teobaldus de Rubeo Monte, Gill vicecomes, Rodulfus de Falcunnez"[15]. His death is recorded before 1160 in the necrology of the abbey of Saint-Pierre le Vif, Sens[16].

A Habsburg genealogy names "Adelberctum, Gerdrudem de Mümpelgard, Richenzam de Fierrito" as the children of "Wernherus"[19].
B. COMTES de MONTBELIARD (MONTFAUCON)
AMEDEE de Montfaucon, son of RICHARD [II] Seigneur de Montfaucon & his wife Sophie de Montbéliard ([1125/35]-killed [Mar/May] 1195). A charter dated [10 Feb/23 Jul] 1143 records that "Richardus de Monte Falconis…et filius eius Amedeus" had returned the prévôté de Cirey to Humbert Archbishop of Besançon so he could donate it to Bellevaux abbey[20]. "Richardus de Montefalconis" donated property to the abbey of Cherlieu, with the consent of "Amedeus filius eius…Girardi Fontisvenne", by charter dated 1148, before Apr[21]. A charter dated 14 Jul 1148 records the confirmation of the donation by "dominus Richardus de Montefalchonis" to Besançon Saint-Etienne for the soul of "conjugis", with the consent of "filio eius Teodorico, ipsius ecclesiæ canonico…Amadeus et Raynaldus filii ipsius Richardi…filiæ ipsius uxor domini Gerardi de Fontevennæ et Stephania"[22]. "Dominus Richardus de Montefalconis…et filius eius Amedeus" donated property to the abbey of Lieucroissant, with the consent of "filii sui Raynaldi", by charter dated [1149][23]. He succeeded his maternal grandfather as Comte de Montbéliard in 1163. "Amedeus comes Montis Beligardis" donated property to the abbey of Belchamp, for the soul of "Ermentrudis materteræ suæ comitissæ de Rupe", with the consent of "filio suo Ricardo", by charter dated 1171, witnessed by "…Oto comes de Rupe præfate comitisse sponsus…"[24]. The Annales Marbacenses record that "Hamideus comes de Montebeligardis" was killed in Spring 1195 by "Ottone fratre imperatoris" [Othon Comte Palatin de Bourgogne][25]. [m firstly ---. No direct evidence has been found to confirm this supposed first marriage. However, the dates of birth estimated for Amédée’s daughter Agnes and son Richard [III] suggest that they were not born from the same mother.] m [secondly] BEATRIX, daughter of ---. "Domina Beatrix domina de Montefalconis" donated property to the abbey of Grâce-Dieu, with the consent of "Amedei mariti mei", by charter dated to [1170][26]. m [thirdly] OL---, daughter of ---. "OI. Montisbeligardis comitissa" donated property to the abbey of Grâce-Dieu, for the soul of "mariti sui Amedei comitis Bellisgardis", with the consent of "filie sue Ludovica et Grossa", by charter dated 1195[27]. Amédée & his [first/second] wife had one child: 1. AGNES de Montbéliard ([1150/55]-23 Oct ----, after 1186). Her parentage is indicated by William of Tyre (Continuator), who names "le conte Gautier de Briene qui fu fiz dou conte Erart de Brienne et de la fille dou conte Ami de Monbliart" and says that “Rechart le conte de Monbliart et Gautier son frere furent ses oncles de par sa mere”[28]. If that is correct, the chronology of her husband’s family suggests that Agnes was much older than her brothers. "Agnetis uxoris mee" consented to the donation by "Erardus Brenensis comes" recorded in the latter's charter dated 1166[29]. The date of this charter suggests that Agnes must have been one of her parents’s older children to have been married before that time. Her birth date range is estimated from the birth of her fourth son which is estimated to [1170/75]. This in turn suggests that she was not born from the same marriage as her brother Richard [III]. "Erardus Brenensium comes…Agnetis uxoris mee et Galterii filii mei" donated property to Basse-Fontaine by charter dated 1185[30]. "Erardus Brenensium comes" donated property to Basse-Fontaine with the consent of "Agnetis uxoris mee et Galteri et Guillelmi filiorum meorum" by charter dated 1186[31]. The necrology of Chartres cathedral records the death "X Kal Nov" of "Agnes…comitissa de Breina"[32]. m (before 1166) ERARD [II] Comte de Brienne, son of GAUTHIER [II] Comte de Brienne & his [first/second] wife Humbeline de Baudément (-8 Feb [1190/91]). Amédée & his [second] wife had [four] children: 2. RICHARD [III] de Montbéliard ([1165/75]-17 Jun 1227). "Amedeus comes Montis Beligardis" donated property to the abbey of Belchamp, for the soul of "Ermentrudis materteræ suæ comitissæ de Rupe", with the consent of "filio suo Ricardo", by charter dated 1171[33]. - see below. 3. GAUTHIER de Montbéliard (-killed in battle 20 Jun 1212). William of Tyre (Continuator) names "le conte Gautier de Briene qui fu fiz dou conte Erart de Brienne et de la fille dou conte Ami de Monbliart" and says that “Rechart le conte de Monbliart et Gautier son frere furent ses oncles de par sa mere”[34]. "Richardus comes Montisbeligardi et Galterius frater eius" witnessed the charter dated 1201 which records a donation to the abbey of Cîteaux[35]. He joined the Fourth Crusade in 1199, but in 1201 left the main body of crusaders in southern Italy to join Gauthier de Brienne. He arrived in Palestine [before 1205] and was appointed Constable of the kingdom of Jerusalem by King Amaury II in 1205[36]. He was appointed Regent of Cyprus for his brother-in-law Hugues I King of Cyprus in 1205[37]. In 1207, he lifted the Seljuk siege of Satalia [Antalya] in southern Asia minor in response to the call of its ruler Aldobrandino, but was himself expelled presumably after attempting to take the town for himself[38]. He fled Cyprus after the end of his regency in 1210, allegedly taking with him a large part of the royal treasure, and sought refuge at Acre with his nephew Jean de Brienne who had recently married Maria Queen of Jerusalem[39]. Gauthier later complained to Pope Innocent III about how King Hugues had treated him[40]. m (before 1205) BOURGOGNE de Lusignan, daughter of AMAURY King of Cyprus & his first wife Echive of Ibelin (-after 1205). She is named by William of Tyre (Continuator) who also gives her parentage, listing her first of the sisters, and names her (second) husband[41]. The Chronicle of Amadi names (in order) "Borgogna, Alis et Chielvis" as the three daughters of "Almerico de Lusignan" and his wife "Civa, figlia de Baduin de Ibelin signor de Rames", specifying in a later passage that "Borgogna" married "Galtier de Mombeliart"[42]. Gauthier & his wife had two children: a) EUDES [Hugues] de Montfaucon (-1247 or after). 1218/47. Lord of Tiberias. Bailli of Jerusalem 1223/27. m ESCHIVA [III] de Bures, daughter of RAOUL de Fauquembergues Prince of Galilee & his wife Agnes Garnier de Sidon (-after Feb 1265). The Lignages d'Outremer name "Eschive et Helvis" as the two children of "Raoul…sire de Tabarie" and his wife "Agnes, la fille Renaut, le sire de Saiete", stating that she was "dame de Thabarie" and married "Heude de Monbeliart"[43]. Another manuscript of the Lignages names "ceste dame de Thabarie" as wife of "Eudde de Monbeliart"[44]. Lady of Tiberias until 1247. Pss of Galilee until Feb 1261. Eudes & his wife had three children: i) MARIE de Montfaucon . The Lignages d'Outremer name "Marie, Johanne et Symone" as the three children of "Heude de Monbeliart" & his wife, stating that Marie married "Hue de Ybelin et morut tantost"[45]. Another section of the Lignages names "Marie, la fille Eschive, dame de Thabarie" as the wife of Hugues son of "Balian…sire de Baruth"[46]. The primary source which confirms her second marriage has not yet been identified. m firstly her first cousin, HUGUES d'Ibelin, son of BALIAN Ibelin Lord of Beirut & his wife Echive de Montbéliard ([1231/32]-[1254/55]). m secondly ([1255/60]) JACQUES Ibelin Lord of Jaffa, son of JEAN Ibelin Lord of Jaffa & his wife Maria of Barba'ron [Armenia-Hethum] ([1240]-18 Jun 1276). ii) JEANNE de Montfaucon (-young). The Lignages d'Outremer name "Marie, Johanne et Symone" as the three children of "Heude de Monbeliart" & his wife, stating that "Johane morut"[47]. iii) SIMONE de Montfaucon . The Lignages d'Outremer name "Marie, Johanne et Symone" as the three children of "Heude de Monbeliart" & his wife, stating that Simone married "Phelippe de Ybelin, le conestable de Chipre"[48]. Another section of the Lignages names "Symone de Thabarie, la fille Heude de Monbeliart et de Eschive de Thabarie" as the wife of Philippe Ibelin[49]. The dispensation issued by Pope Innocent IV for the marriage of "Philippe Ibelin filius Balduini" and "Simonetta de Montbéliard fil. iun. qu. Oddonis comest. Jerosol." is dated 13 Aug 1253[50]. m (Papal dispensation 13 Aug 1253) PHILIPPE Ibelin Constable of Cyprus, son of BAUDOUIN Ibelin Seneschal of Cyprus & his wife Alix of Bethsan ([1235/40]-[1304/05]) b) ESCHIVA de Montfaucon ([1206/12]-after Apr 1239). The Lignages d'Outremer name "Eschive" as the daughter of "Gautier de Monbeliart" and his wife "Borgoigne", stating that she was the wife of "mesire Belleem, le seignor de Baruth"[51]. Another rmanuscript of the Lignages d'Outremer names "Girart le nevou de l'arcevesque Estorgue" as husband of "Eschive" daughter of "Gautier de Monbeliart" and his wife Bourgogne[52]. William of Tyre (Continuator) names her, her father and (first) husband "Geraut de Mont Agu" when recording the death of the last-named[53]. The archbishop of Nicosia objected to her second marriage on grounds of consanguinity and excommunicated the couple. He was, however, expelled from Cyprus and sought refuge at Acre, before the necessary dispensation was eventually granted[54]. Pope Gregory IX instructed the archbishop of Nicosia to excommunicate "nobilis vir B[alianus] filius domini Beritensis cum nobili muliere E[chiva] filia quondam nobilis viri G[ualterii] de Montebeliardo, nobilis viri G[erardi] de Monteacuto relicta" on grounds of their 3o and 4o consanguinity, by document dated 5 Mar 1231[55]. m firstly GERARD de Montaigu, son of PIERRE de Montaigu[-en-Auvergne] & his wife Alix [Alasie] --- ([1203]-killed in battle Cyprus [Jun] or 11 Oct 1229). m secondly ([1229/30], declared void 1231, dispensation before 20 Apr 1239[56]) BALIAN Ibelin Lord of Beirut, son of JEAN Ibelin Lord of Beirut & his second wife Melisende of Arsur ([1209/10]-Askalon 4 Sep 1247). 4. [--- . Her parentage is suggested by the charter dated 1207 under which "P[etrus] de Ceyo nepos Richardi comitis de Montebeligardis" donated property to the abbey of Buillon[57]. Assuming that nepos is correctly translated as "nephew" in this document, the donor’s name suggests that it was his mother who was the sister of Comte Richard.] m --- [de Scey, son of ---]. One child: a) PIERRE de Scey (-after 1207). "P[etrus] de Ceyo nepos Richardi comitis de Montebeligardis" donated property to the abbey of Buillon by charter dated 1207[58]. He was probably father of Richard de Montbeliard ancestor of one branch of the Seigneurs de Scey. 5. ALIX de Montbéliard (-after 1244). The Lignages d'Outremer name "la contece Aalis qui avoit esté feme dou conte Bertot…suer de Gautier de Monbeliart et ante de Eudde de Monbeliart" as wife of "Phelippe…bailli de Chypre"[59]. The identification of Berthold [II] von Katzenelnbogen as the first husband of Alix de Montfaucon is not certain. The fact that she was not named in the charter of her father’s widow dated 1195 suggests that she was not born from his [third] marriage. "Philippus de Ibelin" donated property to the Knights Hospitallers, with the consent of "…Alicis comitissæ uxoris suæ", by charter dated 15 May 1210[60]. Boniface abbé de Cîteaux confirmed the authorisation by the archbishop of Nicosia to "domine A[elisie], relicte…domini Philippi de Ybelino" for the foundation of a convent in Nicosia, by charter dated Mar 1244[61]. m firstly BERTHOLD Graf [BERTHOLD [II] Graf von Katzenelnbogen, son of BERNHARD [I] Graf von Katzenelnbogen & his wife Adelheid von Laufen] (-before [Feb 1207/1210]). m secondly ([Feb 1207/1210]) as his second wife, PHILIPPE Ibelin Bailiff of Cyprus, son of BALIAN Ibelin & his wife Maria Komnene ([1180]-Cyprus end 1227).

Montisbeligardis comitissa" donated property to the abbey of Grâce-Dieu, for the soul of "mariti sui Amedei comitis Bellisgardis", with the consent of "filie sue Ludovica et Grossa", by charter dated 1195[62]. 7. GROSSE de Montbéliard (-after 1195). "OI. Montisbeligardis comitissa" donated property to the abbey of Grâce-Dieu, for the soul of "mariti sui Amedei comitis Bellisgardis", with the consent of "filie sue Ludovica et Grossa", by charter dated 1195[63].

William of Tyre (Continuator) names "le conte Gautier de Briene qui fu fiz dou conte Erart de Brienne et de la fille dou conte Ami de Monbliart" and says that “Rechart le conte de Monbliart et Gautier son frere furent ses oncles de par sa mere”[64]. "Amedeus comes Montis Beligardis" donated property to the abbey of Belchamp, for the soul of "Ermentrudis materteræ suæ comitissæ de Rupe", with the consent of "filio suo Ricardo", by charter dated 1171[65]. He succeeded as Comte de Montbéliard. "Richardus comes Montisbeligardi et Galterius frater eius" witnessed the charter dated 1201 which records a donation to the abbey of Cîteaux[66]. He is named maternal uncle of Gauthier de Brienne by William of Tyre (Continuator)[67]. "...Riccardus comes Montisbelgardensis, comes Fridericus de Ferreto, comes Sibertus de Vuerda..." subcribed the charter dated 1 Jun 1207 under which Philipp King of Germany confirmed his imperial fiefs to “consanguineus noster Thomas comes Sabaudiæ”[68]. "Ricardus comes Montisbiligardis" confirmed a donation to Bellevaux abbey, made by "Richard Montisfalconis et Amedei patris mei", with the consent of "uxore mea Agnete et filiis meis Theoderico, Amedeo et Stephano", by charter dated 1218[69]. "Ricardus comes Montisbiligardis" donated property to the abbey of Lucelle, with the consent of "filiorum meorum Theoderici et Amedei", by charter dated 1223[70]. m ([1200/05]) AGNES d'Auxonne, daughter of ETIENNE [III] Comte d'Auxonne [Bourgogne-Comté] & his first wife Beatrix de Chalon (-[1218/23]). Her parentage is indicated by the charter dated Jan 1261 under which “Jehans cuens de Borgoigne et sire de Salins” confirmed homage by “Ameys de Monbeliard sires de Monfacon, nostre nies” to “la contesse Lore, nostre fome”[71]. "Ricardus comes Montisbiligardis" confirmed a donation to Bellevaux abbey, made by "Richard Montisfalconis et Amedei patris mei", with the consent of "uxore mea Agnete et filiis meis Theoderico, Amedeo et Stephano", by charter dated 1218[72]. Her absence from her husband’s charter dated 1223 suggests that she had died before that date. Richard & his wife had [four] children: 1. [CONTESSON (-after 2 Feb 1251). “Willelmus dominus de Prengins” donated “partem meam decimarum de Britinie, de Marchisie et de Vizo” to Bonmont, with the consent of “domina Agnes --- mater mea...frater meus Humbertus dominus de Cossonay et uxor eius Contessons et Johannes filius eorumdem...alii duo fratres mei Johannes cantor Lausannensis et Amadeus”, by charter dated Feb 1235 (O.S.?)[73]. “Humbertus donnus de Cossonai” donated “decime de Baumes de sub Suprapetram” to Lausanne Saint-Maire, with the consent of “Comitisse uxoris nostre, filiorum et filiarum nostrorum”, by charter dated 1 Aug 1246[74]. She is named as deceased in her husband’s Feb 1250 (O.S.) charter, which also indicates her family origin (“Johannes comes Burgundiæ et dominus Salinensis” confirmed the fief held by “Humbertus dictus de Cossonay dominus, quondam maritus neptis nostræ” by charter dated Feb 1250 (O.S.?)[75]). Charrière highlights connections between the Bourgogne/Salins and Montbéliard/Montfaucon families and argues convincingly that, of all the possible nieces of Jean “l’Antique/le Sage” d’Auxonne Seigneur de Salins, Humbert’s wife was probably the daughter of Richard Comte de Montbéliard[76]. m HUMBERT [II] Seigneur de Cossonay, son of JEAN [I] de Cossonay & his wife Agnes --- (-26 Aug ----, [Apr 1252/Feb 1256]).] 2.

According to Père Anselme, the wife of Thiébaut [III] was “Marguerite de Montbéliard, fille de Henry Comte de Montbéliard”[98]. No “Henri Comte de Montbéliard” has been traced, but maybe Anselme meant “Thierry Comte de Montbéliard” which would be consistent with Richard.

Perchet records that the testament of Jacquette de Grandson, dated 1378, named “son frère Guillaume sire de Sainte-Croix et d’Aubonne”[154]. A copy of the document has not been seen but, as noted below, Gingins-la-Sarra notes that under this testament, “considérant que Jean de Montfaucon son fils était décédé sans enfants légitimes, et que Jeanne de Vergy, sa bru, était remariée à Henri de Baufremont”, Jacquette named “Guillaume de Grandson chevalier, son frère, seigneur de Sainte-Croix et d’Aubonne” as her universal heir[155]. Gérard & his wife had one child: a) JEAN de Montfaucon (-killed in battle near Asti [May/Jun] 1372).

Viellard and Loye indicate that Hasenburg/Azuel (probable descendants of Hugues) bore the same arms as Neuchâtel [en Bourgogne], and similar arms to the original arms of Montfaucon, which suggests a close family relationship between all three[258]. However, there seems no reason to suppose that the three were brothers rather than (for example) first cousins.

D. SEIGNEURS de NEUCHÂTEL [en Bourgogne]
The territory of the seigneurie of Neuchâtel (often called “Neufchâtel”) in the county of Burgundy was located in the present-day canton of Pont-de-Roide-Vermondans, département Doubs, about 20 kilometres south/south-west of Montbéliard. It encompassed the town of L’Isle-sur-le-Doubs, the abbey of Lieu-Croissant, the priory of Lanthenans, and the castle of Bermont[295]. The family’s main castle was located at Neuchâtel-Urtière near Pont-de-Roide. The seigneurie had no connection with the medieval county of Neuchâtel (see the document BURGUNDY KINGDOM-NEUCHÂTEL, VAUD, VALAIS, GRUYERE), which was centred on the town of Neuchâtel in the canton of the same name in present-day Switzerland. Muller notes that “le noyau des possessions familiales” was located “en bordure orientale du comté de Bourgogne, au contact du comté de Montbéliard” within the earlier Carolingian pagus of “le Varais” [pagus Warascorum, see the document BURGUNDY KINGDOM INTRODUCTION][296]. The castle of Neuchâtel in Burgundy, of which no record exists before the 12th century, was built on a hill overlooking the village of Combe-d’Hians on the right-hand side of a royal road which led from Moulins to Basel, in the centre of the ancient seigneurie of Fermetey de Neuchâtel[297]. The seigneurie of Neuchâtel consisted of Fermetey, the prévôté of Mathay, and the villages located in the midi of the Lomont[298]. Muller reproduces locational maps and describes the territorial evolution of the seigneurie[299].
As will be seen below, uncertainties remain in the reconstruction of this family, especially in the earlier generations. Père Anselme omits numerous data points[300], while the versions offered by Richard and Loye in the 19th century are both unreliable. The more recent article by Dodivers, consisting mainly of a compilation from other sources especially Faget de Casteljau and Debry, is useful in highlighting primary source data omitted from earlier publications but appears to include no new research of his own[301]. The tables in Europäische Stammtafeln[302] do not seem any more reliable. More recently, Muller’s doctoral thesis at the university of Lorraine, while studying the family mainly in the context of its property-holdings, quotes numerous primary sources (located in various archive repositories and maybe unavailable to earlier researchers) which clarify many Neuchâtel family relationships as shown below. Muller broadly accepted that “malgré l’absence de sources justificatives” the bases of the reconstructions proposed by Faget de Casteljau and Debry are “solides”[303]. He reproduces a reconstructed genealogy of the Dramelay/Neuchâtel family compiled by Debry which includes more information than is shown in the reconstruction below, but unfortunately many of Debry’s details are uncorroborated (or even contradicted) by the currently available source material[304]. Debry’s information has therefore not been incorporated into the following reconstruction, which strictly reflects the currently available primary source material without attempting to plaster over the cracks.
1. AMEDEE de Neuchâtel [de Montfaucon], son of --- (-[after 1152]). Loye names “trois frères de la maison de Montfaucon, Hugues, Amédée et Richard”, as sons of “Amédée Ier de Montfaucon”[305]. None of the charters quoted below in which they are named specifies any family relationship between the three. Viellard and Loye indicate that Hasenburg/Azuel (probable descendants of Hugues) bore the same arms as Neuchâtel [en Bourgogne], and similar arms to the original arms of Montfaucon, which suggests a close family relationship between all three[306]. However, there seems no reason to suppose that the three were brothers rather than (for example) first cousins. Emperor Heinrich V confirmed the foundation of Lucelle abbey by "nobilium...virorum Hugonis, Amedei, et Richardi de Monte-Falconis" by charter dated 8 Jan 1125[307]. Humbert Archbishop of Besançon confirmed the foundation of Lucelle, at the request of "Hugone et Amedeo et Ricardo de Montefalconis", by charter dated 1136[308]. Pope Innocent II confirmed the foundation of Lucelle abbey by "nobilibus viris Hugone, Amedeo et Richardo de Monte-Falconis" by bull dated 18 Mar 1139[309]. Konrad III King of Germany confirmed the possessions of Lucelle abbey, founded by "nobilibus viris Hugone de Calmillis, Amideo de Novo Castro, Ricardo de Montefalconis", by charter dated 28 May 1139[310].
The successors of Amédée de Neuchâtel, and their family relationships, are uncertain. Loye states that Amédée left “plusieurs enfants”, adding that “les chartes de l’abbaye de Belchamp” name among others “Thiébaut [I], Froment, Guillaume et Gérard”[311]. However, the charters cited below do not specify any family relationships between the individuals named. It is supposed that Loye has jumped to the conclusion that the persons in question were brothers without any basis for his assumption. Loye has also ignored any connection with the Dramelay family, which is discussed below. Until more information comes to light, the following four individuals are shown separately without linking them by relationship.
1. GERARD de Neuchâtel (-after 1156). Richard records that “Girard de Neuchâtel” witnessed a charter of the abbey of Belchamp dated 1147[312]. m --- de Mandeure, daughter of --- (-after 1156). Dodivers notes that Gérard de Neuchâtel was named in a charter dated 1156 married to “une demoiselle de la maison de Mandeure”[313].
2. THIEBAUT [I] de Neuchâtel (-after 1194). “Vir nobilis doctus Theobaldus de novo Castro miles” swore allegiance to the church “beatæ Mariæ monasterii Palmensis, diœcesis Bisontinæ” and “religiosæ dominæ Beatrici de Burgundia” [presumably Beatrix Ctss palatine de Bourgogne, wife of Emperor Friedrich I from 1156] for specified territories by undated charter (dated to the mid-12th century from the context of other documents)[314]. Richard records that “l’abbaye des Trois-Rois” enfeoffed “Thiébaud de Neuchâtel” with “quelques meix auprès de Fusnans et Uxelles”, in the presence of “Amédée de Tramelay archévêque de Besançon”, by charter dated 1194[315]. Richard records the death “avant 1221” of Thiébaut [I][316], although this is late if his marriage date is correct. m [([1150/60]) YOLANDE de Lévi, daughter of ---] or [(before 1156) ALIX, daughter of ---]. Richard records the marriage “de 1150 à 1160 au plus tard” of Thiébaut [I] de Neuchâtel and “Yolande de Lévi” but does not specify the primary source on which he bases this information[317]. Père Anselme states that Thiébaut [I] “vivoit avec Alix sa femme” in 1165, without citing any primary source either[318]. Until further information comes to light, no basis exists for deciding whether Richard or Père Anselme might be correct. Thiébaut [I] & his wife had [two] children (Richard names Thiébaut and Amédée as two sons of Thiébaut [I] de Neuchâtel without specifying the primary source on which he bases this information[319]. It appears chronologically inconsistent with the information recorded below relating to the family of Fromond de Dramelay which, if correct, suggests that Thiébaut and Amédée were Fromond’s sons): a) VANDELINE de Neuchâtel . The marriage contract of Vandeline and Jean de Rye, dated 23 Jan 1180, specifies the dowry which she received from her parents[320]. m (contract 23 Jan 1180) JEAN de Rye, son of ---. b) [CLEMENCE . Richard records the marriage of Clémence, daughter of Thiébaut [I], and “Pierre [IV] seigneur de Scey, de Montrond et de Montbéliard en partie”[321]. Dodivers (followed by Muller[322]) indicates that Clémence, wife of “Pierre de Scey”, was the daughter of Fromond de Dramelay[323]. The chronology of the Scey family has not been checked to see which is the more likely parentage of Pierre’s wife. m PIERRE [IV] Seigneur de Scey, de Montrond et de Montbéliard [part], son of ---.]
3. FROMOND de Neuchâtel (-after 1171). Richard records that “Fromont et Wuillaume ou Guillaume de Neuchâtel” witnessed a charter of the abbey of Belchamp dated 1171[324]. This person may have been “Fromond de Dramelay” who is named below.
4. GUILLAUME de Neuchâtel (-after 1180). Richard records that “Fromont et Wuillaume ou Guillaume de Neuchâtel” witnessed a charter of the abbey of Belchamp dated 1171[325]. Richard records that “Guillaume de Neuchâtel” witnessed a charter of the abbey of Belchamp dated 1180[326]. If Fromond de Neuchâtel (died after 1171) was the same person as Fromond de Dramelay who is named below, it is likely that Guillaume de Neuchâtel was Guillaume de Dramelay, Fromond’s brother.
Dodivers has highlighted that “Monsieur de Casteljau” proposed the descent of the later seigneurs de Neuchâtel from the Dramelay family[327]. He names “Humbert de Dramelay” as father of the three sons named below. However, the precise route by which the Dramelay family inherited Neuchâtel has still to be ascertained. Europäische Stammtafeln suggests that the wife of Fromond de Dramelay was the daughter of Amédée de Neuchâtel[328]. This appears based on a suggestion by Faget de Casteljau (reported by Dodivers) that Fromond “pourrait être un gendre ou un beau-frère d’Amédée de Novo Castro qui fonda Lucelle en 1125”[329]. While such a family connection would provide a possible explanation for the transmission of Neuchâtel to the Dramelay family, several points remain unexplained. Firstly, the chronology is stretched for the son-in-law of Amédée (co-founder of Lucelle in 1125) to have still been active in 1213. Secondly, Richard records that “Fromont et Wuillaume ou Guillaume de Neuchâtel” witnessed a charter of the abbey of Belchamp dated 1171[330]. If Neuchâtel was inherited by the Dramelay family through Fromond’s wife, his brother Guillaume would not have been described as “de Neuchâtel”. Thirdly, the sources cited above appear to confirm the existence in the mid-12th century of Thiébaut [I] de Neuchâtel who, from a chronological point of view, could have been Amédée de Neuchâtel’s immediate successor but who appears not to have been the father of Thiébaut [II]. Muller is more circumspect, concluding in general terms that “une succession explique sans doute le passage de la terre de Neufchâtel de la famille de Montfaucon à celle de Dramelay”[331]. The most likely explanation is a two stage transfer of Neuchâtel, firstly from Amédée to Thiébaut [I], and secondly from Thiébaut [I] to the Dramelay family. Debry’s reconstructed genealogy of the Dramelay family, reproduced by Muller, unfortunately cites no source material. It is impossible to ascertain therefore how many of the proposed connections are speculative[332]. No attempt has been made to incorporate Debry’s material into the reconstruction shown below.
1. HUMBERT de Dramelay (-after 1151). “Humbertus de Dremelaco, Domina uxor sua...” witnessed the charter dated 1151 which records that “Willelmus de Thurium” sold land to Miroir abbey[333]. m DOMINA, daughter of --- (-after 1151). “Humbertus de Dremelaco, Domina uxor sua...” witnessed the charter dated 1151 which records that “Willelmus de Thurium” sold land to Miroir abbey[334].
2. HUMBERT de Dramelay . m ---. The name of Humbert’s wife is not known. There is a possibility that she was ultimate heiress of Amédée de Neuchâtel who is named above, as discussed below under the supposed wife of Humbert’s son Fromond. Humbert & his wife had three children: a) AMEDEE de Dramelay (-19 Jan 1220). His family connection is confirmed by the charter dated 1213 cited below. Archbishop of Besançon 1194. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records in 1195 that, after the death of "in Burgundia...Bisuntinensi electo Stephano" who had succeeded “archiepiscopo Theoderico”, “Amedeus” was elected as archbishop and held office for 25 years[335]. Dodivers records that Fromond de Dramelay “avec ses fils Thibaud et Amédée” donated “des droits à Tournan” to Besançon Saint-Paul by charter dated 1213, in which Amédée Archbishop of Besançon specifies that Fromond was his “frère de chair”[336]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the death in 1220 of “Amedeus archiepiscopus Bisuntinensis...vir senex et emeritus”[337]. The necrology of Besançon Saint-Etienne records the death “XIV Kal Feb” of “Amedeus archiepiscopus Bisuntinus” and the donations made for him[338]. b) GUILLAUME de Dramelay (-after 1225). Dodivers records that Guillaume and his brother Fromond donated property to Lieu-Croissant after the death of their father (he does not date the donation)[339]. Seigneur de Châtillon-sous-Maiche: [his nephew] "Theobaldus de Castello Novo" swore allegiance to "domino meo Theobaldo comite Trecensium palatino", except for obligations to “Guillelmi de Castellione avunculi mei...”, by charter dated Sep 1215[340]. Dodivers records that Thiébaut de Neuchâtel swore allegiance to the comte de Bar by charter dated 1225, sealed by “son oncle Guillaume de Dramelay”[341]. m --- de la Roche, daughter of --- Comte de la Roche [en Montagne] & his wife ---. Dodivers states that Guillaume married “l’héritière du Comte de La Roche dont le fils Eudes fut la tige de la seconde maison des Comtes de La Roche, éteinte au XIVème siècle dans celles de Villersexel et de Vienne-Longvy”[342]. This information has not been verified. c) FROMOND de Dramelay (-after 1213). Dodivers records that Guillaume and his brother Fromond donated property to Lieu-Croissant after the death of their father (he does not date the donation)[343]. It appears likely that this person was the same as “Fromond de Neuchâtel” who is named above. Dodivers records that Fromond de Dramelay “avec ses fils Thibaud et Amédée” ceded “usages” at Frasne to “l’abbaye de la Charité” by charter dated 1210[344]. Dodivers records that Fromond de Dramelay “avec ses fils Thibaud et Amédée” donated “des droits à Tournan” to Besançon Saint-Paul by charter dated 1213, in which Amédée Archbishop of Besançon specifies that Fromond was his “frère de chair”[345]. m ---. The identity of Fromond’s wife has not been ascertained. As noted above, it appears unlikely that she was the daughter of Amédée de Montfaucon, as shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[346]. Muller notes that “le prénom de Thiébaut, nouveau dans ce groupe de parenté” (ignoring the existence of Thiébaut [I] [de Neuchâtel], see above) suggests “une alliance avec la famille de Rougemont”, the suggestion being supported by “des liens de cousinage attestés peu de temps après”[347]. The question is complicated by the Sep 1215 charter quoted below under which Fromond’s supposed son Thiébaut [II] de Neuchâtel names “Guillelmi de Castellione avunculi mei...dominum Ugonem de Rubeomonte”. While Guillaume de Châtillon was probably Fromond’s brother (see above), this document appears to suggest a family relationship only with him and not with Hugues de Rougemont. Fromond & his wife had two children: i) THIEBAUT [II] de Dramelay [de Neuchâtel] (-[Sep 1267/1268]). Dodivers records that Fromond de Dramelay “avec ses fils Thibaud et Amédée” ceded “usages” at Frasne to “l’abbaye de la Charité” by charter dated 1210[348]. The charter dated Sep 1215 quoted below appears to confirm the co-identity of Thiébaut, son of Fromond de Dramelay, with Thiébaut [II] de Neuchâtel, assuming that “avunculus” meant paternal uncle. It should be noted that, according to Père Anselme, Thiébaut [II] was the son of Thiébaut [I][349]. He cites no source on which he bases this statement and, considering the other uncertainties of his reconstruction of the Neuchâtel family, his accuracy is open to doubt. Seigneur de Neuchâtel. - see below. ii) AMEDEE de Dramelay . Dodivers records that Fromond de Dramelay “avec ses fils Thibaud et Amédée” ceded “usages” at Frasne to “l’abbaye de la Charité” by charter dated 1210[350]. same person as...? AMEDEE de Neuchâtel (-after 1254). The sources quoted here show that Amédée de Neuchâtel was the brother of Thiébaut [II] de Neuchâtel. However, as noted above, there is some doubt regarding the parentage of Thiébaut [II] which depends on whether “avunculus” in the source quoted above meant paternal or maternal uncle. Muller notes that the difference between the arms borne by Amédée’s descendants (“de vair à la fasce d’or”) and those of the Neuchâtel family[351], which suggests that they may not have shared the same paternal ancestry. Seigneur de Frasne. Richard records that in 1231 “Amédée de Neuchâtel, frère de Thiébaud” proposed building “une forteresse à Montrond”, a proposal which the canons of Besançon opposed until a settlement was reached in 1235[352]. Richard records that “Amédée [de Neuchâtel, frère de Thiébaud]” swore allegiance to Guillaume Archbishop of Besançon for his lands “Frâne-le-Château et d’Estrelles” by charter dated 1254[353]. Dodivers states that Amédée, second son of Fromond de Dramelay, was “tige des Connétables du Comté de Bourgogne éteints au XIVème siècle”[354]. This information has not been verified. The reconstructed genealogy of the Dramelay/Neuchâtel family compiled by Debry includes the supposed descendants of Amédée, unfortunately citing no source material. It is impossible to ascertain therefore how many of the proposed connections are speculative[355].
1. GERARD de Neuchâtel (-after Jun 1259). According to Richard, Gérard was the brother of Thiébaut [III] de Neufchâtel but he cites no source which confirms this family relationship[356]. The office he held suggests descent from Amédée, younger brother of Thiébaut [II] de Neuchâtel, asssuming that the position was hereditary. Debry’s reconstructed genealogy of the Dramelay/Neuchâtel family, which cites no source material, names Gérard as Amédée’s son[357]. Connétable de Bourgogne: Richard dates his appointment to 1249, adding that Gérard held “dans la terre de Montmahou”[358]. “Girars de Neufchastel connestable de Bourgoingne” sold “la moitié de Luime dou Puys de Monmaour” to “Jehans comte de Bourgoigne et signour de Salins” by charter dated Jun 1259[359].
THIEBAUT [II] de Dramelay [de Neuchâtel], son of FROMOND de Dramelay & his wife --- (-[Sep 1267/1268]). Dodivers records that Fromond de Dramelay “avec ses fils Thibaud et Amédée” ceded “usages” at Frasne to “l’abbaye de la Charité” by charter dated 1210[360]. The charter dated Sep 1215 quoted below appears to confirm the co-identity of Thiébaut, son of Fromond de Dramelay, with Thiébaut [II] de Neuchâtel, assuming that “avunculus” meant paternal uncle. It should be noted that, according to Père Anselme, Thiébaut [II] was the son of Thiébaut [I][361]. He cites no source on which he bases this statement and, considering the other uncertainties of his reconstruction of the Neuchâtel family, his accuracy is open to doubt. Seigneur de Neuchâtel. "Theobaldus de Castello Novo" swore allegiance to "domino meo Theobaldo comite Trecensium palatino", except for obligations to “Guillelmi de Castellione avunculi mei...dominum Ugonem de Rubeomonte”, by charter dated Sep 1215[362]. Emperor Friedrich II notified specified nobles in Burgundy, including “...T. de Nov Castro...” of the privileges enjoyed by the church of Besançon Saint-Etienne by charter dated 27 Dec 1222[363]. Dodivers records that Thiébaut de Neuchâtel swore allegiance to the comte de Bar by charter dated 1225, sealed by “son oncle Guillaume de Dramelay”[364]. A charter dated 8 Nov 1227 records, among peace terms agreed with Thibaut Comte de Champagne, that Othon II Comte de Bourgogne had granted “castrum Poloigniaci” [Poligny] to “Theobardi de Novo Castro”[365]. Muller notes that Thiébaut sold “ses droits sur un chassement situé à Saulx, près de Vesoul” to Bithaine abbey, with the consent of “son suzerain pour ce bien Aymon de Faucogney”, by charter dated 1228[366]. “...Th. dominum Novicastri...” is named among the fiduciaries in the marriage contract between “Otho dux Meranie comes palatinus Burgundiæ...Alys filiam meam” and “Hugoni filio Joannis comitis Cabilonensis” dated Feb 1230 (presumably O.S.)[367]. “Johannes comes Cabilonensis” granted “villam de Montbarrey” to “Theobaldo domino Castri Novi” by charter dated Feb 1232[368]. “Nobilis vir dominus Theobaldus de Novocastro”, wishing to visit “sepulchrum Domini”, restored “Castellionem super Divissie” [Châtillon-le-Duc], held from “ducem Meranie Othonem et comitem Burgundie palatinum”, to the church of Besançon by charter dated Jun 1240[369]. A charter dated Jul 1244, recording property transfers from Othon II Comte de Bourgogne to Hugues IV Duke of Burgundy, records “Theobaldus dominus Novicastri...homo ligius dicti ducis Burgundie de castro de Baumes” and “Johanne comitisse Bolonie...filia...Marguareta de Ebroicis uxor quondam Guillelmi comitis comitis Bolonie”, dated 20 Apr 1333[370]. Seigneur de Jonvelle: Thiébaut is named in his wife’s Jul 1250 charter quoted below. “Theobaldi domini [de Castellione?] et Jonvile” sealed a charter dated 1252 under which “Beraudus domicellus de Gilegio” donated “medietate mansi de Mota” to Saint-Bénigne de Dijon[371]. “Thiebaut seignour de Nuefchastel et es ses enfans monseignour Richart et mon seignour Thiebaut chevalier” bought “[la] grange de Corcelles” by charter dated Mar 1258 (O.S.)[372]. The testament of Richard de Neuchâtel names “son épouse Marguerite, son père Thiébaut seigneur de Neufchâtel et son frère...Thiébaut” [dated?][373]. Thiébaut Seigneur de Neuchâtel donated property to Baume-les-Dames, reserving rights for “Agnelet sa fille, none de cette maison”, by charter dated 1261[374]. Thiébaut’s absence of from his wife’s charters dated 17 Jun 1263 and later is unexplained, but the following documents show that he was still living at the time. “Thiébauz sires de Neufchastel” named his heirs “les enffans de mon segnor Richar, non segnor Thiebaut, Odin et Erart”, and granted property to “ces deux fils cadets, tous deux chanoines de Besançon”, by charter dated 10 Jun 1261[375]. Muller cites a second charter dated Sep 1267 under which Thiébaut more specifically assigned “Neufchâtel et Clémont...Baume-les-Dames...” to the children of his deceased son, “l’Isle-sur-le-Doubs...Uzelle...le douaire d’Elisabeth de Jonvelle” to his son Thiébaut, and confirmed the grants to his ecclesiastical sons “ces deux fils cadets, tous deux chanoines de Besançon”[376]. m firstly as her second husband, PERRETTE, widow of GERARD Seigneur de Vadans, daughter of --- (-before 1241). Her name and two marriages are confirmed by the following document: Eudes de Neuchâtel Doyen de Besançon confirmed a donation made to Rosières by “Girardo quondam domino de Vadans et a domina Perreta uxore dicti Girardo matre nostra” by charter dated 8 Jul 1273[377]. Muller identifies Perrette as the wife of Thibaut [II] and “la fille de Richard de Dampierre” and “son premier époux Gérard de Mâcon-Vienne” seigneur de Vadans, without citing the corresponding sources[378]. It is unlikely that Perrette’s first husband was Géraud [II] de Vienne Comte de Mâcon who died [1224/25] and was survived by his only known wife Guigone de Forez (see the document BURGUNDY DUCHY-MÂCON & BEAUJEU). Père Anselme states that Thiébaut [II] married “Marie de Chasteauvillain-en-Comté” by whom he was the father of Thiébaut (see below)[379]. This must be incorrect, unless Perrette was Thiébaut [II]’s second wife and maybe mother of his younger sons only. m secondly (1241) as her second husband, ISABELLE de Jonvelle, widow of SIMON de Sexfontaines, daughter of GUY Seigneur de Jonvelle & his [first/second wife Elisabeth ---/Nicole ---] (-after 1268). Dodivers notes that Isabelle married secondly in 1241 Thiébaut Seigneur de Neuchâtel by whom she was childless[380]. “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[381]. “Ysabeal dame de Jonville” swore allegiance to “Hugues comte palatin de Bourgoigne” for “Voisé” by charter dated 17 Jun 1263[382]. “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[383]. “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[384]. 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[385]. Thiébaut [II] & his first wife had five children: 1. RICHARD de Neuchâtel (-[9 Dec 1259/10 Jun 1261]). Richard names “Richard seigneur de Neuchâtel et de Fay” as the second son of Thiébaut [III][386]. He is not mentioned by Père Anselme[387]. “Thiebaut seignour de Nuefchastel et es ses enfans monseignour Richart et mon seignour Thiebaut chevalier” bought “[la] grange de Corcelles” by charter dated Mar 1258 (O.S.)[388]. Richard de Neuchâtel granted rights to certain mills near Neuchâtel to Baume-les-Dames by charter dated 9 Dec 1259[389]. He is named as deceased in his father’s 10 Jun 1261 charter quoted above. The testament of Richard de Neuchâtel names “son épouse Marguerite, son père Thiébaut seigneur de Neufchâtel et son frère...Thiébaut” [dated?][390]. m [MARGUERITE de Montfaucon, daughter of THIERRY de Montfaucon Comte de Montbéliard & his wife Alix [Algéarde] de Ferrette Dame de Belfort ([after 1226]-after 1259).] Europäische Stammtafeln names Marguerite de Montfaucon as wife of “Richard de Neuchâtel”[391]. On the other hand, Richard names “Marguerite de Montbéliard, fille de Thierry [III] dit le Grand-Baron” as wife of Thiébaut [III], adding that she brought “les terres et seigneuries d’Héricourt, Blamont, Clémont, Chatelot, Bermont et Cuisance” as her dowry[392]. According to Père Anselme, the wife of Thiébaut [III] was “Marguerite de Montbéliard, fille de Henry Comte de Montbéliard”[393]. No “Henri Comte de Montbéliard” has been traced, but maybe Anselme meant “Thierry Comte de Montbéliard” which would be consistent with Richard. No primary source has yet been traced which confirms Marguerite’s parentage and marriage. The testament of Richard de Neuchâtel names “son épouse Marguerite, son père Thiébaut seigneur de Neufchâtel et son frère...Thiébaut” [dated?][394]. Richard & his wife had [four children]: a) THIEBAUT [IV] de Neuchâtel (-[30 Oct 1300/Oct 1304]). Europäische Stammtafeln names Thiébaut as son of Richard de Neuchâtel[395]. Seigneur de Neuchâtel [en Bourgogne]. The primary source which confirms this information has not been identified but the succession to Neuchâtel shows that it must be correct, bearing in mind that his paternal uncle Thiébaut [III] is recorded as having died childless in the source quoted below. - see below. b) [BEATRIX . It is uncertain whether this person existed. The reconstructed genealogy of the Dramelay/Neuchâtel family compiled by Debry, as reproduced by Muller, shows “Béatrix de Neuchâtel”, daughter of Richard de Neuchâtel, as the wife of Jacques de Grandson without providing any indication of the source which confirms her parentage and marriage[396]. Europäische Stammtafeln also shows this marriage, presumably following Debry[397]. Muller notes finding no source confirming the information, but adds that “nous nous rangeons donc ici à l’avis de J. Debry”[398]. No earlier work, on either the Neuchâtel or Grandson families, has been found which names Beatrix, suggesting that Muller’s confidence in Debry may be misplaced. If Debry is correct, from a chronological point of view it is likely that Beatrix belonged to the same generation as Thiébaut [IV]. Follow Jacques de Grandson’s hyperlink for discussion about other possible identities of his wife. m JACQUES de Grandson, son of PIERRE Seigneur de Grandson & his wife Agnes de Neuchâtel (-[1290/Feb 1294]).] c) MARGUERITE de Neuchâtel (-1339). Her parentage and two marriages are confirmed by the 1308 testament of [her nephew] Erard de Neuchâtel which bequeathed property to [her son] “Thiebault de Cusance nos...cousin” for “plusours missions que ma tante dame Margueritte dame de Cusance” (as confirmed by “mon...oncle monsieur Jacques dAucelle chevalier, dame Marguerite sa femme dame de Cusance”[399]. m firstly GUY Seigneur de Cusance, son of --- (-before 1302). m secondly JACQUES Seigneur d’Auxelles, son of ---. d) [AGNES de Neuchâtel (-[1271]). Richard names Agnes as daughter of Thiébaut de Neufchâtel[400]. She is also named as such by Père Anselme[401]. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified, but from a chronological point of view it is likely that she was the daughter of Richard de Neuchâtel. m ([1270]) as his first wife, ALEXANDRE de Montagu Seigneur de Sombernon et de Malain, son of GUILLAUME Seigneur de Montagu & his first wife Jacquette de Sembernon (-after Jan 1299).] 2.

The testament of Richard de Neuchâtel names “son épouse Marguerite, son père Thiébaut seigneur de Neufchâtel et son frère...Thiébaut” [dated?][404]. “Thiébauz sires de Neufchastel” named his heirs “les enffans de mon segnor Richar, non segnor Thiebaut, Odin et Erart”, and granted property to “ces deux fils cadets, tous deux chanoines de Besançon”, by charter dated 10 Jun 1261[405]. Muller cites a second charter dated Sep 1267 under which Thiébaut more specifically assigned “Neufchâtel et Clémont...Baume-les-Dames...” to the children of his deceased son, “l’Isle-sur-le-Doubs...Uzelle...le douaire d’Elisabeth de Jonvelle” to his son Thiébaut, and confirmed the grants to his ecclesiastical sons “ces deux fils cadets, tous deux chanoines de Besançon”[406]. Seigneur de L’Isle-sur-le-Doubs: “Héloise de Joinville vicomtesse de Vesoul” declared that “feu Thiébaud de Neuchâtel seigneur de L’Isle, liquels fui mors sans hoirs de son corz” had held “le fief de Silley” and property at Saulx from her, by charter dated 1308[407]. 3. EUDES de Neuchâtel (-after 2 Sep 1280). “Thiébauz sires de Neufchastel” named his heirs “les enffans de mon segnor Richar, non segnor Thiebaut, Odin et Erart”, and granted property to “ces deux fils cadets, tous deux chanoines de Besançon”, by charter dated 10 Jun 1261[408]. Muller cites a second charter dated Sep 1267 under which Thiébaut more specifically assigned “Neufchâtel et Clémont...Baume-les-Dames...” to the children of his deceased son, “l’Isle-sur-le-Doubs...Uzelle...le douaire d’Elisabeth de Jonvelle” to his son Thiébaut, and confirmed the grants to his ecclesiastical sons “ces deux fils cadets, tous deux chanoines de Besançon”[409]. “Hugues sires de Rans” confirmed holding “Rans” from “monseignour Oude de Nuefchastel doyen de Besançon” by charter dated 16 Apr 1268[410]. Thiébaut Seigneur de Neuchâtel, following the death of his son Richard, granted properties to “ces deux fils cadets, tous deux chanoines de Besançon” by charter dated 10 Jun 1261[411]. The necrology of Besançon records the death “VIII Id Sep” 1271 of “Erardus de Novo Castro subdyaconus et canonicus Bisantinus” for whom “Odo decanus Bisuntinus frater suus” donated revenue from “villa de Pueyens”[412]. Eudes de Neuchâtel Doyen de Besançon confirmed a donation made to Rosières by “Girardo quondam domino de Vadans et a domina Perreta uxore dicti Girardo matre nostra” by charter dated 8 Jul 1273[413]. Richard records “la seigneurie de Montbarrey” as Eudes’s inheritance, with which he enfeoffed “Hugues de Rans” in 1278, states that Eudes founded an anniversary for himself and “Gérard son frère, dans l’église métropolitaine” by charter dated 19 Feb 1271, that he bought “la fief de Roche” from “Jean sire de Rans” in 1280, and appointed “Thiébaud son neveu” as his heir[414]. “Thiebaz Sire de Nuefchatel” confirmed fiefs “a Montbeliard” by charter dated early Sep 1280, sealed by “Huedes de Nuefchatel doyen de Besançon mon oncle”[415]. “Jehan sire de Rans” sold specified land to “Huede de Nuefchastel doyen de Besançon” by charter dated 25 Aug 1280, confirmed 2 Sep 1280 by Othon Comte de Bourgogne[416]. 4. ERARD de Neuchâtel (-after 6 Sep 1271). Canon at Besançon: “Thiébauz sires de Neufchastel” named his heirs “les enffans de mon segnor Richar, non segnor Thiebaut, Odin et Erart”, and granted property to “ces deux fils cadets, tous deux chanoines de Besançon”, by charter dated 10 Jun 1261[417]. Muller cites a second charter dated Sep 1267 under which Thiébaut more specifically assigned “Neufchâtel et Clémont...Baume-les-Dames...” to the children of his deceased son, “l’Isle-sur-le-Doubs...Uzelle...le douaire d’Elisabeth de Jonvelle” to his son Thiébaut, and confirmed the grants to his ecclesiastical sons “ces deux fils cadets, tous deux chanoines de Besançon”[418]. The necrology of Besançon records the death “VIII Id Sep” 1271 of “Erardus de Novo Castro subdyaconus et canonicus Bisantinus” for whom “Odo decanus Bisuntinus frater suus” donated revenue from “villa de Pueyens”[419]. Richard records “la seigneurie de Montbarrey” as Eudes’s inheritance, with which he enfeoffed “Hugues de Rans” in 1278, states that Eudes founded an anniversary for himself and “Gérard son frère, dans l’église métropolitaine” by charter dated 19 Feb 1271, that he bought “la fief de Roche” from “Jean sire de Rans” in 1280, and appointed “Thiébaud son neveu” as his heir[420]. 5. AGNES de Neuchâtel (-after 1261). Nun at Baume-les-Dames: Thiébaut Seigneur de Neuchâtel donated property to Baume-les-Dames, reserving rights for “Agnelet sa fille, none de cette maison”, by charter dated 1261[421].
THIEBAUT [IV] de Neuchâtel, son of RICHARD Seigneur de Neuchâtel [en Bourgogne] & his wife [Marguerite de Montfaucon] (-[30 Oct 1300/Oct 1304]). Europäische Stammtafeln names Thiébaut as son of Richard de Neuchâtel[422]. The primary source which confirms this information has not been identified but the succession to Neuchâtel shows that it must be correct, bearing in mind that his paternal uncle Thiébaut [III] is recorded as having died childless in the source quoted above. “Thiébauz sires de Neufchastel” named his heirs “les enffans de mon segnor Richar, non segnor Thiebaut, Odin et Erart” by charter dated 10 Jun 1261[423]. Seigneur de Neuchâtel [en Bourgogne]. “Jehan chevalier sires de Larrians” confirmed holding specified land from “Thiébaut escuier seignour de Nuefchastel” by charter dated Dec 1276[424]. Thiébaut being described as “escuier” in this document suggests that he was still young, which is consistent with the estimated birth date of his son Thiébaut [VI] as shown below. “Othes de Bourgoingne sires de Salins” confirmed “Montbarrey” to “Thiébaut de Nuefchastel nostre cusins” by charter dated 6 Aug 1277[425]. The precise relationship between Thiébaut [V] and the Bourgogne-Comté family has not been ascertained. “Thiebaz Sire de Nuefchatel” confirmed fiefs “a Montbeliard” by charter dated early Sep 1280, sealed by “Huedes de Nuefchatel doyen de Besançon mon oncle”[426]. “Thiebaut cunes de Ferrettes” granted “le fied...que messires Jehan de Dale chevalier fils monsieur Henry de Dale chevalier qui fut, tenoit...la wouerie d’Aremoncourt, de Vandoncourt, de Doncourt, de Daule et d’Audincourt” to “nostre...cousin messire Thiebaut sires du Neufchastel” by charter dated Oct 1298, sealed by “nostre...frere monsieur Liebaul seignour de Beffroimont”[427]. The testament of Thiébaut [IV] Seigneur de Neuchâtel is dated 30 Oct 1300[428]. The Oct 1304 charter quoted below, naming his son “Mons. Richart seignour de Neufchastel chevalier et de Dame Agnès dame de Nuefchastel sa mère”, suggests that Thiébaut [IV] was deceased at the time[429]. m AGNES de Commercy, daughter of GAUCHER [II] de Commercy Seigneur du Châteauvillain-du-Jura et de Montrivel & his wife --- (-after May 1308). Her parentage is confirmed by the following document: “Bietrix dame de Roiffey famme ca en arriers monseignour Estienne seignour de Roiffey” confirmed the dowry given by “ses...freres messires Walchier de Commercy caennarriers sires de Montrivel” to “Agnes dame de Nuefchastel sa fille...de Thiebaut seignour de Nuefchastel mary de la dicte dame Agnès” by undated charter[430]. Père Anselme names her “Jeanne de Commercy, fille puînée de Gaucher de Broyes, seigneur de Commercy, et d’Elizabeth sa femme”[431]. From a chronological point of view, it seems unlikely that the wife of Thiébaut [IV] de Neuchâtel was the daughter of Gaucher [I] Seigneur de Commercy whose death is dated to [1244/49] (see the document LORRAINE). Richard records that Thiébaut married “Agnès fille de Walchier de Commercy seigneur de Château-Vilain et de Montrivel”, dating the marriage to [1270/80], although he cites no source on which he bases this information[432]. “Agnès de Chatelvilain, dame de L’Isle et...Thiébaut sui fils chevaliers sires de Nuefchastel” confirmed privileges granted to L’Isle-sur-le-Doubs by “de bonne mémoire Messire Thiébaut jadis grans sires du devandit Nuefchastel” by charter dated May 1308[433]. Thiébaut [IV] & his wife had five children: 1. RICHARD de Neuchâtel (-[Oct/Dec] 1304). The Oct 1304 charter quoted below suggests that Richard was his parents’ oldest son. “Damoisel Richart de Neufchastel fils de Thiebaut de Neufchastel” is named in a charter dated Jan 1296 (N.S.)[434]. Seigneur de Neuchâtel [en Bourgogne]: “Mes sires Richars de Nuefchastel cayenarriers et ma dame Agnes sa mere” is named in a charter dated 1304 and “Mons. Richart seignour de Neufchastel chevalier et de Dame Agnès dame de Nuefchastel sa mère” in a charter dated Oct 1304[435]. Guillaume notes that Marguerite de Neuchâtel, wife of Jean [I] Comte de la Roche [en Montagne], was named in the testament of “Richard Sire de Neuchâtel son frère” dated 1304[436]. 2. THIEBAUT [V] de Neuchâtel ([1288/92]-1337). His birth date is estimated on the assumption that the presence of his mother in the charter dated May 1308 indicates that he was then under age but was of age by Sep 1311 when he acted on his own (bearing in mind the uncertainty regarding the age of majority).

E. COMTES de la ROCHE en MONTAGNE
The medieval county of la Roche [en Montagne], centred on the town of Saint-Hippolyte at the confluence of the Doubs and Dessoubre near the border with Switzerland about 30 kilometres south of Montbéliard, was situated south-east of the county of Neuchâtel [en Bourgogne]. The county covered an area approximately equivalent to the present-day cantons of Saint-Hippolyte, Maîche and Le Russey, in the département of Doubs[540]. The reason why the lords of such a small area, first recorded in the early 12th century, should have merited the comital title has not been ascertained. Guillaume comments that “cette distinction suppose une origine éclatante à la maison de la Roche” and suggests descent from the comtes de Montbéliard[541]. However, no indication has been found of the origin of Simon, first recorded Comte de la Roche. Othon [IV] Comte Palatin de Bourgogne transferred suzerainty over the county of la Roche to the seigneurs de Neuchâtel in 1284, as noted below.
1. SIMON de la Roche (-[1134]). Comte de la Roche.

Othon [IV] Comte Palatin de Bourgogne obliged “monseignour Guillaume et à Jehan de la Roche” to swear allegiance to “nostre...cousin monseignour Thiébaut de Nuefchastel” [Thiébaut [V] Seigneur de Neuchâtel] for “[le] fied de la Roche” by charter dated 23 Jul 1284[564]. 2. HUGUES de la Roche (-7 Oct 1280). Loye records that Jean de la Roche was the son of Guillaume’s deceased brother Hugues, but he cites no source which confirms this information[565]. Guillaume records his death 7 Oct 1280 and burial “dans l’église du prieuré de Vaucluse” without citing any primary source to confirm the information[566]. m ADELINE de Belvoir, daughter of THIEBAUT Seigneur de Belvoir & his wife ---. The primary source which confirms the identity of Eudes’s wife is not known. Guillaume names her “Adeline de Belvoir...fille de Thiebaud Sire de Belvoir” without citing any primary source to confirm the information[567]. Hugues & his wife had one child: a) JEAN [II] de la Roche (-1317). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified. Othon [IV] Comte Palatin de Bourgogne obliged “monseignour Guillaume et à Jehan de la Roche” to swear allegiance to “nostre...cousin monseignour Thiébaut de Nuefchastel” [Thiébaut [V] Seigneur de Neuchâtel] for “[le] fied de la Roche” by charter dated 23 Jul 1284[568]. Comte de la Roche. “Jehans de Rosche sires de Chestoillon” granted privileges to the citizens of Saint-Hippolyte by charter dated 20 Sep 1298[569]. The statutes of the church of Saint-Hippolyte, dated 1321, record “domini Johannis comitis de Rupe domini de Castellione” as the church’s founder[570]. Loye records that Jean de la Roche died in 1317 without citing a source which confirms this date[571]. m MARGUERITE de Neuchâtel, daughter of THIEBAUT [IV] Seigneur de Neuchâtel [en Bourgogne] & his wife Agnes de Châteauvillain (-16 Jun 1356, bur Saint-Hippolyte). Loye names “Marguerite de Neuchâtel-Bourgogne, fille de Thiébaud IV” as the wife of Jean de la Roche, adding that he dowry was “le château et la seigneurie de Chatelneuf-en-Vennes...le château et la seigneurie de Maîche”, but cites no primary source which confirms the information[572]. The chronology suggests that she was the daughter of Thiébaut [V]. Guillaume notes that she was named in the testament of “Richard Sire de Neuchâtel son frère” dated 1304[573]. “Marguerite de Neuchâtel, mère de Richard” founded her anniversary “dans la collégiale de Saint-Hippolyte” by charter dated [1337][574]. A monumental inscription in the church of Saint-Hippolyte records the death 16 Jun 1356 of “domina Marguerita de Rocha domina de Maches”[575]. Jean [II] & his wife had three children: i) RICHARD de la Roche (-24 Mar 1329, bur Saint-Hippolyte). Loye names “Eudes, Androin et Richard” as the three sons of Jean de la Roche, adding that Richard inherited “la seigneurie de la Roche”[576]. Comte de la Roche. “Le comte Richard” founded the anniversary of “Jean II son père dans la collégiale de Saint-Hippolyte” by charter dated Jul 1317[577]. Comte Richard ratified the privileges granted to the citizens of Saint-Hippolyte by his father by charter dated 23 Nov 1317[578]. A monumental inscription in the church of Saint-Hippolyte records the death “Kal Apr in Vigilia Annuntiationis” 1329 of “dominus Richardus miles comes de Rupe”[579]. m as her first husband, MATHILDE de Montfaucon, daughter of GAUTHIER [II] de Montfaucon & his wife Mathilde de la Marche (-22 Jul 1360, bur Saint-Hippolyte). Loye names “Mahaut de Montfaucon” as the wife of Richard Comte de la Roche, and records her second marriage, but cites no primary source which confirms her first marriage[580]. She married secondly (1334) as his second wife, Friedrich Graf von Freiburg. Her second marriage is confirmed by a charter dated 11 Sep 1336 which records an agreement between “Ferriz Jones cons de Fribour chevaliers et Mahaus de Monffaucon dame de saint Ypolite sa feme” and “Loys de Buefchestel chevaliers et...[ses] enfans...procrees de dame Jehane de Monffaucon [sa] feme, fille Jehan seignour de Monffaucon frere de la dicte dame Mahaut” concerning the succession of “Vauchier cay en arriers seignour de Monffaucon pare de nous Mahaut dessus dicte et...dame Mahaut dame de Chaucins feme dou dit monseigneour Vauchier et meire de nous Mahaut dessus dicte”[581]. Mathilde and her second husband confirmed the privileges of Saint-Hippolyte by charter dated 2 Nov 1334[582]. A monumental inscription in the church of Saint-Hippolyte records the death “die Beatæ Magdalenæ” 1360 of “domina Mahauit de Monte Falcone domina de Sancto Hippolyto”[583]. Richard & his wife had two children: (a) JEANNE de la Roche (-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[584]. m AIMON de Faucogney Seigneur de Villersexel, son of JEAN de Faucogney Seigneur de Villersexel & his wife Marguerite de Clervaux (-1360). (b) MARGUERITE de la Roche (-after 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”[585]. 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”[586]. On the other hand, Loye records that Marguerite, younger daughter of Richard Comte de la Roche, married “Jean de Senecey”[587], 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”[588]. This information has not been checked as the corresponding primary source has not been found. 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...”[589].

Loye records that “Androin son [=Richard] frère cadet” became a monk at “Saint-Benoît” [de Dijon, presumably] where he became abbot, adding that he was successively “abbé de Saint-Seine et de Cluny”, but cites no primary source which confirms this information[593]. Abbé de Cluny 1351.
