Her marriage is confirmed by the charter dated 1092 under which [her son] “Humbertus” founded the priory of Corcelles, for the souls of “patris mei Uldrici et matris mee Adalguis, et fratris mei Cononis...”[2], although it is not certain that this document refers to the same Ulrich who was the father of Burchard and Cono.] Ulrich & his wife had children:

It is not certain from this document that Humbert was the brother of Burchard and Cono who are shown below, although the reference to his father and his brother Conon suggests that this co-identity may be correct.] m ---, daughter of ETZO & his wife Aremburge --- (-after 1092). Her marriage is confirmed by the charter dated 1092 under which [her son] “Humbertus” founded the priory of Corcelles, for the souls of “...conjugisque mee, patrisque sui Etzonis et matris sue Aremburgis, et filiorum meorum atque filiarum...”[4].

This is also suggested by the introduction of the name Gertrud into the Reginsberg family after her marriage. “Lutoldus senior de Reginsberg...et uxor mea Berchta” sold “domum nostram in Turego...in Littore” to “monasterio Turicensi...domine Judente...abbatisse”, with the consent of “Ul. filio nostro...etiam filio nostro Lutoldo”, by charter dated 27 Oct 1246[58]. m LÜTOLD [V] von Regensberg, son of LÜTOLD [IV] von Regensberg & his wife --- (-[27 Oct 1246/4 Jan 1250]).

Ulrich [IV] & his [second] wife had one child:

x) AGNES de Neuchâtel ([1222/25?]-after 15 Apr 1283, bur [Grandson Priory]). The Chronicle of Matthias Nuewenburgensis records that “Ulricus comitis Novicastri” had “multas filias” who married “dominis de Toggenburg, de Falkenstein, de Rötellein, de Regensberg, de Grandisono”[77]. Agnes was presumably one of her father’s youngest children, considering that she had sons who were still minors 31 Aug 1263 as shown by the charter cited below. Her marriage date is suggested from the likely birth dates of her children, which in turn suggests her birth in the last years of her father’s life. She was presumably therefore born from her father’s second marriage (or from an otherwise unrecorded third marriage). A charter dated 28 Sep 1257 records “Reinauz de Valmarcuel” pledging property “en la vile de Monstruil...” to “Perroin segnor de Granzon et a dama Annes sa feme”[78]. “Agnes domina de Grandisono, tutrix...liberorum nostrorum Petri et Willelmi, Girardus, Jaquetus et Henricus pro se et fratre suo Otonino, filii predicte domine” exchanged property with “Petro comiti Sabaudie” by charter dated 31 Aug 1263[79]. “Agnes domina de Grandissoni” confirmed the allegiance of “Perrinus dominus de Vaumarquier” to her “ad opus...domini Otonis militis domini Grandissoni filii mei” and confirmed his donation to his daughter Isabelle by charter dated 15 Apr 1283[80]. Her place of burial is indicated by the Jul 1298 testament of “Agnès de Grandson veuve d’Ulrich de Vuippens” which requested burial at Humilimont (except her heart to be buried at Grandson priory “aux pieds de sa mère et de son frère”): this assumes that the younger Agnès was the daughter of the older, which looks likely (follow her [first?] husband’s hyperlink for the discussion). If that is correct, no indication has been found of which of Agnès’s sons was buried with his mother. m [firstly?] ([1236/40]) [as his second wife?] PIERRE [I] Seigneur de Grandson, son of EBLES [III] Seigneur de Grandson & his [first] wife --- [de Genève] ([1186]-[29 Dec 1257/15 Jul 1259]). [The possibility that Agnès married secondly (after 31 Aug 1363) [as his second wife,] --- Seigneur de Bonvillars, son of ---, is speculative, as a suggested explanation for her son Othon de Grandson naming Henri de Bonvillars “mon frere le prior de Wenloc”. Follow this hyperlink for full discussion of this hypothesis.]

Chapter 2. VAUD & VALAIS

The ecclesiastical diocese of Lausanne (pagus Ultrajuranus) included three distinct counties during the rule of the Rudolfian kings of Burgundy, the county of Vaud (comitatus Waldensis), the county of Avenches or Vully (comitatus Vuisliancensis) and the county of Bargen (comitatus Bargensis)[357]. Hisely sketches the territorial limits of the early county of Vaud and suggests that it included all the territory north of Lake Geneva as far as Lake Neuchâtel, west of the river Sarine (Saane), including the “Hochgau” or Ogo in which the county of Gruyère later evolved[358]. “Comitatu Waldense” is first named in a charter of Emperor Karl III dated 885[359]. The cartulary of Notre-Dame de Lausanne records that Henri Bishop of Lausanne, who was ordained in 985 and was bishop for 25 years, acquired “comitatum Waldense” from “domino imperatore Henrico” [Emperor Heinrich II][360].

The county of Valais was held by the bishop of Sion: Rudolf III King of Burgundy granted “comitatum Vallensem” to “Hugonis Sedunensis ecclesie episcopus” by charter dated 999[361]. The only separate family of counts so far identified in Valais were the comtes de Granges, who appear briefly in the second half of the 12th century.

A. COMTES [de VAUD]

The counties of Lambert [I] and Adalbert [I], named below, are not specified in the charter in which they are named. However, the association of the brothers Lambert [II] and Adalbert [II] (see below) with Vaud suggests that the earlier Lambert and Adalbert were their predecessors in Vaud. Charrière indicates that the names Lambert and Adalbert were not “germaniques” and suggests that, “d’origine lombarde ou italienne”, their ancestors may have arrived in Burgundy during the reign of King Rudolf II who was also briefly king of Italy (between 923 and 925, see the document BURGUNDY KINGS)[362]. The names Lambert and Adalbert are found among the northern Italian nobility in the 10th century (see the documents NORTHERN ITALY (1) and CENTRAL ITALY). However, they are also widely found in many other parts of the Carolingian empire: two prominent examples are Lambert [de Dijon] Comte de Chalon (see BURGUNDY DUCHY-BEAUNE & CHALON) and Lambert [di Spoleto] Comte de Nantes (BRITTANY NOBILITY-NANTES, PORHOET, RENNES), while both names feature many times among the lesser nobility who are named in Cluny charters.

Comte [de Vaud?]. “Rodulfus rex...Lambertus comes, Borchardus comes, Adalbertus comes...” witnessed the charter dated 993 (after 19 Oct) which recorded the election of Odilo as abbot of Cluny[363].

The reference to “Adalbertus marchio” suggests that this document refers to Lambert [I] and Adalbert [I].]

2. ADALBERT [I] (-after Oct 993). Comte [de Vaud?]. “Rodulfus rex...Lambertus comes, Borchardus comes, Adalbertus comes...” witnessed the charter dated 993 (after 19 Oct) which recorded the election of Odilo as abbot of Cluny[365]. The document specifies no family relationship between Lambert and Adalbert, although the later existence of the brothers Lambert [II] and Adalbert (see below) suggests that Lambert [I] and Adalbert [I] may both have been earlier members of the same family. same person as...? ADALBERT (-after Jun 1001). Marchio. A charter dated Jun [1001] (“regnante Ruodulfo rege, anno octavo”) records the presence of “Adalberti marchionis, seu Rodulfi, advocati, in villa Urbe[...Orba]” when “Fredoinus” donated land “in villa Banningis”, which he could not retain “propter inimicitias filiorum Walcherii comitis”, to Romainmôtier[366]. “Comte Gaucher” in this document has not been identified. [“Sigismundus” donated “hereditatem quam Lambertus comes michi dedit in villa…Belmedense…in comitatu Waldense”, and land “quos dedit michi Adalbertus marchio”, to Romainmôtier, with the consent of “filiorum meorum Sigismundo et Umberto”, by charter dated 1013 or [20 Oct 1011/19 Oct 1012 (“1013, anno XIX regnante Rodulfo rege”)[367]. The reference to “Adalbertus marchio” suggests that this document refers to Lambert [I] and Adalbert [I].] same person as...? ADALBERT (-after [20 Oct 1002/19 Oct 1003]). Comte Palatin: “Marinus præsbiter” donated property “in comitatu Aeguestriaco in villa...Balgedelco” to Romainmôtier, for the souls of “senioris mei Amalrici atque...patris mei hac matris meæ atque avunculi mei Tedoni”, by charter dated 4 Mar 996 (N.S.) (“anno tertio regnante Rodulfo rege”)[368], confirmed [20 Oct 1002/19 Oct 1003] “anno IX regnante domno Rodulfo rege”) by King Rudolf “in comitatu Aequestrico, in villa Osinco” [Eysins], in the presence of “Adalbertus comes palacii regis...Manassæus comes, Rotbertus nepos eius, Rodulfus advocatus, Amalricus comes et fratres eius Adalgaudus, Cono, Leuto; Teodoenus comes, Lanbertus, et frater eius Adalbertus; Willingus, Loslenus, Anselmus pater Anselmi episcopi, Rotbertus et frater eius Vuitbertus, filii Amalrici, Witbertus et frater eius Dodo, filii Vuinisii; Adalbertus iudex, Boroardus et fratres eius Vuido et Hugo, filii Teotaldi; Dodo, Turumbertus, Cono et filius eius Vdulricus; Maynerius, Vdulricus, filius Vuilerii”[369].

1. TEUDOIN, son of --- (-after 1009). Comte [de Vaud]: King Rudolf III confirmed the donation made by “Marinus præsbiter” to Romainmôtier, by charter [20 Oct 1002/19 Oct 1003], in the presence of “...Teodoenus comes, Lanbertus, et frater eius Adalbertus...”[370]. “Teudonis comitis” subscribed a charter of the abbey of Saint-Maurice d’Agaune dated 1002[371]. He was banished and his property confiscated in 1009[372].

Two brothers, parents not identified. If the reference to the banishment of Comte Teudoin in 1009 is correct (see above), it is likely that Comte Lambert [II] was his successor. The name order of witnesses in the [20 Oct 1002/19 Oct 1003] charter quoted below suggests that at that time Lambert was the next most powerful noble in the county after Teudoin. The document, however, specifies no family relationship between them, in contrast to the relationship specified between Lambert and his brother. Gingins-La-Sarraz identifies Comte Lambert [II] with Lambert [de Grandson][373]. From a chronological point of view, this suggestion is unlikely to be correct: Comte Lambert is named between [1001/02] and 1018, whereas the sons of Lambert de Grandson survived well into the 12th century. Charrière names “Adalbert et Lambert auteurs de deux branches de [la] famille [de Grandson]” as sons of Lambert [II][374]. A close relationship between the two families is suggested by the names Lambert and Adalbert (Comte Lambert [II]’s brother, see below) also being used in the Grandson family. It appears reasonable to suppose that Lambert de Grandson and Adalbert de Grandson were Comte Lambert’s sons or grandsons.

1. LAMBERT [II] (-after 4 Mar 1023). King Rudolf III confirmed the donation made by “Marinus præsbiter” to Romainmôtier, by charter [20 Oct 1002/19 Oct 1003], in the presence of “...Teodoenus comes, Lanbertus, et frater eius Adalbertus...”[375]. The absence of the comital title applied to Lambert in this document suggests that he was a different person from Lambert [I] (see above). Comte [de Vaud]: “Anselmo episcopo, Lamberto comite, Willingo, Rodulfo, Bertaldo, Udolrico et Adalberto” witnessed the charter dated [20 Oct 1009/19 Oct 1010] under which Rudolf III King of Burgundy donated property to Romainmôtier[376]. [Gingins-La-Sarraz records that Lambert “dernier comte laïque du Pays-de-Vaud”, having fallen into disgrace, was deprived of his county by Rudolf III King of Burgundy who invested the bishops of Lausanne as comtes de Vaud in 1011 (no source cited)[377]. The later references to Lambert as “comes” (see below) suggests some uncertainty about the dating of this event. Another possibility is that Lambert’s supposed banishment has been confused with the banishment of Lambert’s supposed predecessor, Comte Teudoin, which, as suggested above occurred in 1009.] “Domni Umberti comes, Lambertus comes, Adalbertus…” witnessed the charter dated 1 Apr 1018 under which “Ratcherius” confirmed a donation to “Sancti Petri Romani monasterio” made by “Marinus presbiter”[378]. “Conradus” donated property to Romainmôtier, at the request of “fratris mei Amalrici”, by charter dated 4 Mar 1023, subscribed by “...Lanberti comitis, Adalberti fratris sui, Odulrici, Lanberti filii Lanberti, Rodulfi...”[379]. It is curious that Lambert was still accorded the title “comes” in these documents if he had been deprived of his county in 1011 as indicated above. Charrière suggests that Lambert was “comte d’un autre comté que celui de Vaud, du comté voisin de Warasch [Avenches or Vully, see the introduction above], par exemple”[380]. This suggestion appears supported by the 16 Apr 1028 charter, quoted below under Lambert’s possible daughter Ermenburge, which records that King Rudolf III granted property “...in comitatu Guaraschensi” to Lambert. m ---. The name of Lambert’s wife is not known. Lambert [II] & his wife had [two children]:

a) [LAMBERT . “Conradus” donated property to Romainmôtier, at the request of “fratris mei Amalrici”, by charter dated 4 Mar 1023, subscribed by “...Lanberti comitis, Adalberti fratris sui, Odulrici, Lanberti filii Lanberti, Rodulfi...”[381]. It is not specified in this document that the father of the second Lambert was “Lanberti comitis”.]

b) [ERMENBURGE (-26 Oct ----, after 16 Apr 1028). Rudolf III King of Burgundy confirmed the donation of “medietatem ecclesiæ S. Gorgonii in villa…Albonna in episcopate Vesontiensi, in comitatu Guaraschensi” and other property which “Lambertus pater eius” had accepted from the king, by “Hermenburgæ nobiliori schrinæ ortæ” whom “Umberto” had married, by charter dated 16 Apr 1028[382]. 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 it is correct as suggested above that he was deprived of his county. 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.”[383]. m HUMBERT [II] Seigneur de Salins, son of HUMBERT [I] Seigneur de Salins [Mâcon] & his wife [Wandelmodis ---] (-25 Jul, after Jan 971, bur Besançon Saint-Paul).]

2. ADALBERT [II] (-after 4 Mar 1023). King Rudolf III confirmed the donation made by “Marinus præsbiter” to Romainmôtier, by charter [20 Oct 1002/19 Oct 1003], in the presence of “...Teodoenus comes, Lanbertus, et frater eius Adalbertus...”[384]. [“Domni Umberti comes, Lambertus comes, Adalbertus…” witnessed the charter dated 1 Apr 1018 under which “Ratcherius” confirmed a donation to “Sancti Petri Romani monasterio” made by “Marinus presbiter”[385]. The name order suggests that Adalbert may have been the same person as Adalbert named with Lambert in the [20 Oct 1002/19 Oct 1003] charter.] “Conradus” donated property to Romainmôtier, at the request of “fratris mei Amalrici”, by charter dated 4 Mar 1023, subscribed by “...Lanberti comitis, Adalberti fratris sui...”[386].

B. BARONS de VAUD (SAVOIE)

LOUIS [I] de Savoie, son of THOMAS [II] Conte [Marchese] del Piemonte & his second wife Beatrice Fieschi ([1254]-[10 Jan 1302/27 Apr 1303], maybe 8 Jan 1303). A second testament of “Beatrix relicta…Dom. Reymundi Berengarii comitis provinciæ”, dated 22 Feb 1264, adds bequests to “Thomam Amedeum et Ludovicum filios quondam Dom. Thome fratris mei…Alienore filie predicti comitis Thome…”[387]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[388], Comte Louis was born in Oct 1250 but, for the same reasons as cited in relation to the birth of his older brother Thomas (see the document SAVOY), this date looks unlikely. Baron de Vaud, Seigneur de Moudon, de Romont, de Rue, de Contrey, de Saillon, de Nyon et d’Aubon in 1286, accorded him by his brother Amédée V Comte de Savoie to assure his acceptance of the latter’s accession as Count[389]. “Lois de Savoie Sire de Waut” agreed peace with the town of Fribourg by charter dated 1292[390]. “Ludovicus de Sabaudia dominus Vaudi” sold the village of “Forel iuxta Savignietum” to the bishop of Lausanne[391]. The testamentary codicil of “Lodovico di Savoia Signore di Vaud” made at Naples 10 Jan 1301 chooses his burial “nella Chiesa di S Pietro dell’Ara di Napoli”, appoints “Ludovico di Lui figlio primogenito” or in default “Pietro alto suo figlio Giuniore, e di Lui fratello uterino”, and makes bequests “a Bianca, e Cattarina sue figlie…di Lui Consorte Isabella”, referring to the possibility of a posthumous child born from his wife[392]. He died before 27 Apr 1303, the date of the contract of marriage between “Pietro di Grançon Nipote d’Ottone Signore di Grançon” and “Bianca figlia del fu Lodovico di Savoia Signore di Vaud”[393]. The necrology of Lausanne records the death 8 Jan of “d. Ludouicus de Sabaudia” and his donation of revenue from “Cletis…[et] Niudini”[394].

m firstly ADELINE de Lorraine, daughter of MATHIEU II Duke of Lorraine & his wife Catherine de Limbourg (1251 or before-before 1278). Her parentage and marriage are shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[395]. She is not named by Poull[396]. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified.

m secondly (1278) as her second husband, JEANNE de Montfort, widow of GUY [VI] Comte de Forez [Albon], daughter of PHILIPPE II de Montfort-l’Amaury Seigneur de Castres et de la Ferté-Alais & his wife Jeanne de Lévis ([1255/60]-1300). The court of Lyon confirmed the guardianship of “Gioanni figlio pupillo di Guidone Conte di Forest” naming “Gioanna di Monfort Contessa di Forest Madre del detto Gioanni” and her second marriage with “Lodovico di Savoia Signore di Vaud fratello del Conte Amedeo” by charter dated 23 Jun 1283[397]. The testament of “dominæ Joannæ de Monteforti quondam comitissæ Forensis, uxorisque quondam…domini Ludovici de Sabaudia domini Vaudi” dated Nov 1293 chooses her burial “in cimiterio Fratrum Minorum Montisbrisonis” and makes bequests to “a Gioanni di lei figlio Conte di Forest…ad Isabella di Lei figlia moglie di Berardo di Merevel…a Lora, Margarita, Gioannetta, Beatrice, Eleonora, Cattarina e Bianca pur sue figlie…a Pietro di Lei figlio…altri suoi Benidto Lodovico suo figlio”[398]. She is not named in the agreement dated 15 May 1295 which records the partition of property between her brother and sisters[399], which suggests that she may have died before that date.

m thirdly (contract 1 May 1301) as her third husband, ISABELLE d’Aulnay, widow firstly of BALDONE Signore di Seminara, and secondly of ROBERT de Sauriac, Grand Seneschal of the Kingdom of Sicily, daughter of --- d’Aulnay & his wife --- (-30 Oct 1341). Della Marra records Isabelle as sister of Robert d’Aulnay (without naming their parents) as well as her three marriages[400]. The primary sources which confirm this information have not been verified. “Lodovico di Savoia Signore di Vaud” granted “Isabella d’Aulnai sua Consorte” the castle of Iverdun in the diocese of Lausanne by charter dated 1 May 1301[401]. The contract of marriage between “Lodovico di Savoia Signore di Vaud” and “Isabella d’Aulnay” is dated 1 May 1301[402]. The testamentary codicil of “Lodovico di Savoia Signore di Vaud” dated 10 Jan 1301 makes bequests “…di Lui Consorte Isabella”, referring to the possibility of a posthumous child born from his wife[403].

Baron Louis & his first wife had one child:

1. LAURE de Savoie (before 1278-1334). The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. m (after 1324) as his third wife, JEAN [I] Comte de Forez, son of GUY [VI] Comte de Forez [Albon] & his wife Jeanne de Montfort ([1275/76]-3 Jul 1334).

Baron Louis & his second wife had ten children:

2. ISABELLE de Savoie (-[Apr 1289/May 1290]). The contract of marriage between “Beraldo Signore di Mercoeur” and “Isabella di Savoia figlia del fu Lodovico di Savoia Signore di Vaud di Gioanna di Monfort sua seconda Moglie” is dated 31 Mar 1289[404]. It is assumed that Isabelle was one of her parents’ older children, who died before the birth of her younger sister of the same name. Betrothed (31 Mar 1289) to BERAUD [VIII] Seigneur de Mercœur, son of BERAUD [VII] Seigneur de Mercœur & his wife Blanche de Salins (-5 Apr 1321).

3. MARGUERITE de Savoie (-7 Aug [1313 or 1323], bur Wadgassen). The contract of marriage between “Gio. di Chalon figlio di Stefano Conte d’Auxerre” and “Margarita figlia primogenita di Ludovico di Savoia Signore di Vaud” is dated Apr 1293[405].

The contract of marriage between “Margarita di Savoia Sorella di Lodovico di Savoia Signore di Vaud Vedova di Gio. di annoiri” and “Simone figlio del Conte Gio. di Salbruc” is dated 21 Jun 1309[407]. The 29 Mar 1340 testament of Louis [II] de Savoie Baron de Vaud names his nephew Jean de Saarbrucken and his two sisters[408]. An inscription at Wadgasse, since disappeared, recorded the burial of “daisme Marguerite de Savoie femme Simon de Commercey-Sarburg” who died 6 Aug 1323[409]. Hugo records a monument at Wadgasse recording “Margaretæ à Sabaudia uxoris Simonis de Commerceio, 1313”[410]. m firstly (contract Apr 1293, 1 Apr 1293) JEAN de Salins Seigneur de Vignory et de Saint-Dizier, son of ETIENNE de Chalon Seigneur de Rouvres [Bourgogne-Comté] & his wife Jeanne de Vignory, dame de Vignory (-before 1307). m secondly (contract Vienne 22 May 1309, 21 Jun 1309) SIMON von Saarbrücken, son of JOHANN [I] Graf von Saarbrücken [Commercy] & his first wife Mathilde d’Aspremont (-1325).

4. JEANNE de Savoie (-after 29 Oct 1360). The contract of marriage between “Guglielmo Signore di Gex” and “Gioanetta figlia di Ludovico di Savoia Signore di Vaud” is dated 5 Feb 1293[411]. The testament of “Gioanna di Monfort Contessa di Forest Moglie di Ludovico de Savoia Signore di Vaud” dated Nov 1293 makes bequests to “…Margarita, Gioannetta, Beatrice, Eleonora, Cattarina e Bianca pur sue figlie…”[412].

The testament of “Gioanna di Monfort Contessa di Forest Moglie di Ludovico de Savoia Signore di Vaud” dated Nov 1293 makes bequests to “…Pietro di Lei figlio…altri suoi Benidto Lodovico suo figlio”[414]. The testamentary codicil of “Lodovico di Savoia Signore di Vaud” dated 10 Jan 1301 appoints “Ludovico di Lui figlio primogenitor”[415]. Her father’s testamentary codicil dated 10 Jan 1301, made in Naples, names his sons Louis and Pierre, his daughters Blanche and Catherine, and the possibility of a child by his wife[416]. He succeeded his father in 1302 as Baron de Vaud. Elected Senator of Rome 1 Aug 1310, he served until Jul 1312, during which time he defended Rome against the supporters of Robert King of Naples [Anjou-Capet][417]. He renounced all claims to the county of Savoie in 1314 in return for an annual pension of 300 livres and the grant of certain fiefdoms[418]. Comte Amédée V named him Lieutenant General in Canavese, Piemonte in 1322. He was appointed a member of the Supreme Council of the States of Savoy 1330. Aymon Comte de Savoie named him as one of the guardians of his minor son Comte Amédée VI under his will 11 Jun 1343[419]. The testament of “Lodovico secundo di Savoia Signore di Vaud” dated 29 Mar 1340 chooses his burial “nell’Abazia, o sia nella Chiesa dell’Abazia d’Altacomba”, names “Ludovico Signore di Vaud suo Padre”, makes bequests “ad Isabella di Challon sua Consorte…Cattarina sua figlia…al conte Guidone di Fore zed a Raimundo suo fratello…ed a Gio. di Salabruschi, ed alle due Sorelle di Lui nipoti alter…a Ludovico di Nevfchâtel, ed alle due Sorelle…a Gioanna di Savoia Signora di Gex sua Sorella, nel caso, che sii in vita, altrimenti a suoi figliuoli…a Beatrice di Savoia Dama di Clermont, o a suoi figliuoli…a suoi Nipoti Ottone di Grançon, e Guglielmo suo fratello, ed alle Loro Sorelle” and appoints “stesso Conte Aymone, Isabella di Challon sua Consorte, li Vescovi di Losana, Geneva, Belley” as his executors[420].

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[423]. 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”[424]. “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[425]. The testament of “Lodovico secundo di Savoia Signore di Vaud” dated 29 Mar 1340 makes bequests “ad Isabella di Challon sua Consorte…”[426]. 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[427]. “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[428]. Baron Louis [II] & his wife had two children:

a) CATHERINE de Savoie (-18 Jan 1388, bur Namur, couvent des Franciscains). Her first marriage is confirmed by an agreement dated 22 Jan 1339 between “Lodovico di Savoia Signore di Vaud” and “Cattarina di Savoia sua figlia Moglie d’Azone Visconti Signore di Milano” relating to the payment of her dowry[429]. The testament of “Lodovico secundo di Savoia Signore di Vaud” dated 29 Mar 1340 makes bequests “…Cattarina sua figlia…”[430]. The Chronique des comtes d’Eu, written in 1390, records that “Raoul”, son of “Raoul”, married “madame Catherine de Savoye”[431]. The contract of marriage between “Rodolfo d’Eu Conte di Guines” and “Cattarina figlia di Lodovico di Savoia Signore di Vaud” is dated Dec 1340[432]. The testament of “Cattarina di Savoia Contessa di Guines” dated 6 May 1343 appoints as her heirs, if she has no children, “Isabella di Challon sua Madre e premorando questa, Ludovico di Savoia Signore di Vaud suo Padre”, chooses her burial “nel Convento de’ P. P. Minori di Mion, ove resta sepolto Gio. di Savoia suo fratello”, and names “Conte Rodolfo suo marito”[433]. A testamentary codicil of “Lodovico di Savoia Signore di Vaud” dated 18 Jan 1349 confirms bequests made to “Isabella di Challon sua Consorte” and refers to the dowry of “Cattarina sua figlia, Moglie del Principe Rodolfo Conte d’Eu e di Guines”[434]. Her third marriage is confirmed by an agreement between “Beatrisina di Savoia Vedova di Gaufredo Signore di Clermont” and “Guglielmo Signore di Namur e Cattarina di Savoia sua Consorte figlia di Lodovico di Savoia Signore di Vaud” dated 10 Mar 1356 which concerns the former’s renunciation of property connected with her dowry[435]. The date of her third marriage is indicated by 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”[436]. She sold Vaud to Amédée VI Comte de Savoie at Morges 19 Jun 1359 for 160,000 florins[437]. m firstly (Milan 1 or 10 Oct 1330) AZZONE Visconti Lord of Milan, son of GALEAZZO I Visconti Lord of Milan & his wife Beatrice d’Este (Ferrara 7 Dec 1302-Milan 16 Aug 1339, bur Milan).

b) JEAN de Savoie (-killed in battle Laupen 21 Jun 1339). His parentage is confirmed by the contracts of marriage between “Gio. di Savoia figlio di Lodovico di Savoia Signore di Vaud” and “Margarita di Chalon figlia di Gio. Signore di Chalon e d’Auxerre” dated 14 Mar 1333 and 18 Dec 1337[439]. Seigneur de Visieu. The Narratio de Conflictus Laufensis names “dominus Iohannes filius domini Ludwici de Sabaudia domini Waudi” among those killed at Laupen in 1339[440]. The History of Henricus Dapifer de Diessenhoven records that “filius…comitem Ludewicum de Sabaudia…Rudolfo [comitem Rudolphum de Nidow], Gerhardo [comitem Gerhardum de Waleis]” were killed at the siege of “castrum…Loupen” in 1339 from the context[441]. m (contracts 14 Mar 1333 and 18 Dec 1337, 14 Mar 1329) as her first husband, MARGUERITE d’Auxerre dame de Courtenot, daughter of JEAN [II] Comte d’Auxerre et de Tonnerre [Bourgogne-Comté] & his wife Alix de Bourgogne dame de Montfleur (-11 Oct 1378).

She married secondly Henri de Vienne Seigneur d’Antigny. The primary source which confirms her second marriage has not been identified.

Baron Louis [II] had one possible illegitimate child:

c) [BONNE de Savoie (-2 Mar or May 1342). Bonne [Guta] is named in Europäische Stammtafeln[445] as the legitimate daughter of Louis de Vaud and as wife of the two husbands shown here, but the primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified. She is not named in the 29 Mar 1340 testament of her father[446]. It is unlikely that the wife of Duke Bolko II could have been the legitimate daughter of Louis [II] Baron de Vaud: her son was born in [1322/27] when the legitimate children of Baron Louis must still have been under child-bearing age. m firstly MATTHIAS Graf von Trenczin, son of --- (-1318). m secondly ([1321/22]) BOLKO II Duke of Münsterberg, son of BOLKO I Duke of Jauer and Schweidnitz [Piast] & his wife Beatrix von Brandenburg [Askanier] ([1 Feb 1300/1301]-11 Jun 1341).]

6. PIERRE de Savoie (-killed in battle Rome 21 Mar 1312). The testament of “Gioanna di Monfort Contessa di Forest Moglie di Ludovico de Savoia Signore di Vaud” dated Nov 1293 makes bequests to “…Pietro di Lei figlio…altri suoi Benidto Lodovico suo figlio”[447]. The testamentary codicil of “Lodovico di Savoia Signore di Vaud” dated 10 Jan 1301 names “Pietro alto suo figlio Giuniore, e di Lui fratello uterino”[448]. He was killed recapturing Rome for his brother and Emperor Heinrich VII from supporters of Robert King of Naples [Anjou-Capet].

7. BEATRIX de Savoie (-after 10 Mar 1356). The testament of “Gioanna di Monfort Contessa di Forest Moglie di Ludovico de Savoia Signore di Vaud” dated Nov 1293 makes bequests to “…Margarita, Gioannetta, Beatrice, Eleonora, Cattarina e Bianca pur sue figlie…”[449]. The testament of “Gauffredus seigneur de Clermont”, dated Aug 1332, named “son épouse Béatrix de Savoie...tutrice de ses enfants”[450]. Béatrice de Savoie, dame de Clermont was named as a beneficiary under the 29 Mar 1340 testament of her brother Louis II Baron de Vaud[451], although according to Europäische Stammtafeln she died in 1338[452]. An agreement between “Beatrisina di Savoia Vedova di Gaufredo Signore di Clermont” and “Guglielmo Signore di Namur e Cattarina di Savoia sua Consorte figlia di Lodovico di Savoia Signore di Vaud” dated 10 Mar 1356 concerns her renunciation of property connected with her dowry[453]. m (1301) GEOFFROY [I] Seigneur de Clermont [en Dauphiné], son of AINARD [I] Seigneur de Clermont & his wife Alix de Thoire (-15 Aug 1332).

The testament of “Gioanna di Monfort Contessa di Forest Moglie di Ludovico de Savoia Signore di Vaud” dated Nov 1293 makes bequests to “…Margarita, Gioannetta, Beatrice, Eleonora, Cattarina e Bianca pur sue figlie…”[454]. The contract of marriage between “Rodolfo Signore di Neufchâtel” and “Eleonora figlia di Ludovico di Savoia Signore di Vaud” is dated 18 Oct 1294[455].

Chapter 3. NOBILITY in VAUD & VALAIS

A. SEIGNEURS d’AUBONNE

The castle of Aubonne was situated about 19 kilometres west of Lausanne. in what is today the canton of Vaud in Switzerland, in the valley of the Aubonne river. The family of the seigneurs d’Aubonne first emerges from the records in the mid-11th century. The charters quoted below show that, from the early 13th century at least, the seigneurie d’Aubonne was divided between the male members of each succeeding generation of the family, who are all referred to as “condomini/co-seigneurs”. Guerry co-Seigneur d’Aubonne, head of the senior branch of the family, sold his interests in Aubonne to Pierre Comte de Savoie in 1259. Beatrix, daughter of Comte Pierre, transferred this interest to her maternal aunt Beatrix de Faucigny, mother of Humbert [III] Seigneur de Thoire et Villars. It eventually passed in the early 14th century to Agnes, daughter of Humbert [III], who was the wife of Guillaume Alamandi. The seigneurie d’Aubonne was the subject of continual disputes between the holders of the various competing sub-divided interests. In the late 14th century, the interests of the “Alamandi” seigneurs were consolidated in the hands of the comtes de Gruyère, while the younger branch of the original Aubonne family, descended from Jacques [II] Seigneur d’Aubonne, younger brother of co-Seigneur Guerry, continued to hold their share. The friction between the two groups persisted well into the 15th century.

[Three] brothers, parents not known. The earliest known Comte de Gruyère was also called Turumbert, but no family connection has been established.

1. DODON d’Aubonne . “Marinus præsbiter” donated property “in comitatu Aeguestriaco in villa...Balgedelco” to Romainmôtier, by charter dated 4 Mar 996 (N.S)[465], confirmed [20 Oct 1002/19 Oct 1003] “anno IX regnante domno Rodulfo rege”) by King Rudolf “in comitatu Aequestrico, in villa Osinco” [Eysins], in the presence of “...Dodo, Turumbertus, Cono et filius eius Vdulricus...”[466]. “Turumbertus” donated property “in pago Equestrico in villa Balgeello” to Romainmôtier “per manu advocati meo Dooni”, undated but dated by Charrière to first half 11th century, possibly late 10th century[467]. [An undated charter, dated to [1049/1109], records that Romainmôtier granted land “in villa Brucinis…[et] in villa Germaniaco…helemosinam Turumberti fratris Dodoni de Albona”[468]. The [20 Oct 1002/19 Oct 1003] charter quoted above suggests that this last charter is misdated, unless it refers to Turumbert [II].]

2. TURUMBERT [I] d’Aubonne . “Marinus præsbiter” donated property “in comitatu Aeguestriaco in villa...Balgedelco” to Romainmôtier, by charter dated 4 Mar 996 (N.S)[469], confirmed [20 Oct 1002/19 Oct 1003] “anno IX regnante domno Rodulfo rege”) by King Rudolf “in comitatu Aequestrico, in villa Osinco” [Eysins], in the presence of “...Dodo, Turumbertus, Cono et filius eius Vdulricus...”[470]. “Turumbertus” donated property “in pago Equestrico in villa Balgeello” to Romainmôtier “per manu advocati meo Dooni”, undated but dated by Charrière to first half 11th century, possibly late 10th century[471]. The use of the advocatus suggests that the donor held ecclesiastical office, although the text does not state this. If this is correct, he was a different person from Turumbert [II]. [An undated charter, dated to [1049/1109], records that Romainmôtier granted land “in villa Brucinis…[et] in villa Germaniaco…helemosinam Turumberti fratris Dodoni de Albona”[472]. The [20 Oct 1002/19 Oct 1003] charter quoted above suggests that this last charter is misdated, unless it refers to Turumbert [II].]

3. [CONON . “Marinus præsbiter” donated property “in comitatu Aeguestriaco in villa...Balgedelco” to Romainmôtier, by charter dated 4 Mar 996 (N.S)[473], confirmed [20 Oct 1002/19 Oct 1003] “anno IX regnante domno Rodulfo rege”) by King Rudolf “in comitatu Aequestrico, in villa Osinco” [Eysins], in the presence of “...Dodo, Turumbertus, Cono et filius eius Vdulricus...”[474].

1. TURUMBERT [II] d’Aubonne . As indicated above, it is likely that Turumbert [II] was a different person from Turumbert [I]. If this is correct, it is possible that Turumbert [II] was a descendant of Dodon, although the latter name is not repeated in his known descendants. m ---. The name of Turumbert’s wife is not known.

However, the date of birth of his oldest son indicates that there must have been a first marriage. m secondly MARGUERITE [d’Oron, daughter of RODOLPHE Seigneur d’Oron & his wife Alix ---] (-after Jun 1274). “Iacobi condomini de Albona domicelli, domini mei, Marguerete uxoris eius, Aymonis et Iohannis filiorum suorum” consented to a sale of property by “Iohannes de Sancto-Symphoriano” to “Nicholao dicto Magnyn burgensi de Albona”, by charter dated Jun 1274[549]. Her family origin is suggested by the charter dated Sep 1285 under which her son “Johannes filius quondam Jacobi condomini de Albona” acknowledged a debt to “domini P…episcopi Sedunensis avunculi mei”[550]. Jacques [III] & his first wife had one child:

a) son (before Mar 1242-). His existence is confirmed by the charter dated Mar 1242 under which his father “Jacobus dom. Albonæ, Jacobi filius” granted “quidquid ipse et filius suus habent in castro et burgo Albonæ” to Pierre de Savoie[551]. His absence from the charter dated Jun 1274 (see below) suggests that he had died before this date, unless he was the same person as Jacques [III]’s son Aimon.

Jacques [III] & his [first/second] wife had one child:

b) AIMON d’Aubonne (before [1248/56]-[Sep 1274/Oct 1277]). “Iacobi condomini de Albona domicelli, domini mei, Marguerete uxoris eius, Aymonis et Iohannis filiorum suorum” consented to a sale of property by “Iohannes de Sancto-Symphoriano” to “Nicholao dicto Magnyn burgensi de Albona”, by charter dated Jun 1274[552]. “Aymo, filius Iacobi, condomini de Albona” acted as guarantor, with the agreement of “dicti Iacobi patris mei”, for the sale of property made with the consent of “Iacobi de Alamant domicelli” by charter dated Sep 1274[553]. Aimon’s fulfilling this role presumably indicates that he had passed the age of majority by that date. This suggests that he may have been considerably older than his brother Jean [I] and therefore possibly born from his father’s first marriage. The age of majority in Vaud at that time has not been ascertained, although the charter dated Mar 1317, quoted below, suggests that it may have been 25 years. It is possible that Aimon was the same person as Jacques [III]’s unnamed son who is mentioned in 1242. It appears from the charter dated 1 Aug 1308 quoted below that Aimon was co-Seigneur d’Aubonne, maybe during the lifetime of his father, although no document has been found which refers directly to him with this title. Aimon presumably predeceased his father as he is not named in the charter dated Oct 1277 quoted above. Aimon had one illegitimate child by an unknown mistress:

i) GUILLAUME (-after 1327). A charter dated 1 Aug 1308 records a sale of property to “Willielmo alumpno quondam…domini Aymonis quondam condomini de Albona”[554].

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

c) JEAN [I] d’Aubonne ([1259/67]-before Mar 1305). “Iacobi condomini de Albona domicelli, domini mei, Marguerete uxoris eius, Aymonis et Iohannis filiorum suorum” consented to a sale of property by “Iohannes de Sancto-Symphoriano” to “Nicholao dicto Magnyn burgensi de Albona”, by charter dated Jun 1274[555]. Co-Seigneur d’Aubonne.

- see below.

d) ARTAUD d’Aubonne (-after 10 Dec 1306). A representative of the convent of Romainmôtier granted rights to “Arthaudus condominus Albone et balliuus Vuaudi” by charter dated 10 Dec 1306[556].

2. JEAN d’Aubonne (-after May 1244). “Jacobus dominus de Albona” donated property to Bonmont, with the consent of “domina Beatrix uxore mea et filiis meis Jacobo et Johanne”, by charter dated 1235[557]. “Beatrix relicta Iacobi militis domini de Albona” donated property to Bonmont, with the consent of “Iacobi et Iohannis filiorum suorum et omnium filiarum suarum” for the soul of “Jacobi mariti sui”, by charter dated 1 Jul 1237[558]. “Beatrix quondam uxor domini Jacobi de Albona et duo filii mei Jacobus et Johannes et quatuor filie mee…Jordana, Alays, Leoneta et Clementia” donated revenue to Oujon, with “dominum Guerricum dominum Albone et heredes eius” acting as guarantor, by charter dated May 1244[559].

3. JORDANE d’Aubonne (-after May 1244). “Beatrix quondam uxor domini Jacobi de Albona et duo filii mei Jacobus et Johannes et quatuor filie mee…Jordana, Alays, Leoneta et Clementia” donated revenue to Oujon, with “dominum Guerricum dominum Albone et heredes eius” acting as guarantor, by charter dated May 1244[560].

2. LOUIS d’Aubonne (-after 20 Oct 1301). The parentage of Louis is not known. Charrière suggests that he may have been the unnamed son of Jacques [III] Seigneur d’Aubonne, referred to in 1242 (see above). However, as noted above, there is an indication that Jacques [III]’s oldest son died young. Co-Seigneur d’Aubonne.

JEAN [I] d’Aubonne, son of JACQUES [III] co-Seigneur d’Aubonne & his second wife Marguerite [d’Oron] ([1259/67]-before Mar 1305). “Iacobi condomini de Albona domicelli, domini mei, Marguerete uxoris eius, Aymonis et Iohannis filiorum suorum” consented to a sale of property by “Iohannes de Sancto-Symphoriano” to “Nicholao dicto Magnyn burgensi de Albona”, by charter dated Jun 1274[565]. Co-Seigneur d’Aubonne. “Vuillielmus de Lavignie mistralis de Albona ex parte quondam Iacobi condomini de Albona” sold the mestralie d’Aubonne to “domino P. episcopo Sydunensi, tutori Iohannini quondam filii Iacobi, condomini de Albona” by charter dated Oct 1277[566]. “Johannes filius quondam Jacobi condomini de Albona” acknowledged a debt to “domini P…episcopi Sedunensis avunculi mei” by charter dated Sep 1285, adding that his uncle had been his guardian “tamquam minor annis”[567]. The wording of this document suggests that Jean [I] had recently arrived at the age of majority.

m BINFA, daughter of --- (-after 18 May 1350). “Binfa relicta domini Iohannis condomini de Albona et Iohannes filius eius” made a declaration relating to damage to the property of the chapter of Lausanne by charter dated 9 Apr 1313[568]. “Binfa Bynfaz condomina de Albona et Iohannes eius filius minor viginti quinque annis major…quatuordecim” reached agreement with the chapter of Geneva about vines by charter dated Mar 1317[569]. A charter dated 24 Feb 1319 records an agreement between “Guilelmum Alamandi et Agnetem de Villariis eius uxorem” and “dominam Bynfa et Iohannem eius filium condominos de Albona” relating to the establishment of a new town at Aubonne[570].

Jean [I] & his wife had seven children:

1. JEAN [II] d’Aubonne ([1295/1303]-after 18 Sep 1369). Co-Seigneur d’Aubonne. “Binfa relicta domini Iohannis condomini de Albona et Iohannes filius eius” made a declaration relating to damage to the property of the chapter of Lausanne by charter dated 9 Apr 1313[571]. “Binfa Bynfaz condomina de Albona et Iohannes eius filius minor viginti quinque annis major…quatuordecim” reached agreement with the chapter of Geneva about vines by charter dated Mar 1317[572]. A charter dated 24 Feb 1319 records an agreement between “Guilelmum Alamandi et Agnetem de Villariis eius uxorem” and “dominam Bynfa et Iohannem eius filium condominos de Albona” relating to the establishment of a new town at Aubonne[573]. The subservient position of Jean [II] in this charter suggests that he was still under age at that date. “Dominus Iohannes condominus de Albona miles” confirmed two legacies by “Margueretam ipsius militus relictam” and by “Eleenam relictam Iohannis de Lucingio de Dussillier, sororemque dicti militis” in favour of the abbey of Bonmont by charter dated 21 Mar 1344[574]. The testament of “Domini Iohannis condomini Albone militis” is dated 18 May 1350, appoints “Humbertum filium suum” as heir to property which the testator received from “domina Margareta prima uxore sua filiaque quondam…domini Girardi de Orons militis”, and appoints “ipsum puerum masculum” as his universal heir if born to “domina Iohanneta uxor sua filiaque…Iohannis domini de Aniuer, nunc pregnans”[575]. “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[576]. The family relationship between Jean [II] d’Aubonne and Isabelle de Chalon Dame de Vaud has not yet been ascertained. A codicil to the testament of “Domini Iohannis condomini Albone militis” is dated 18 Sep 1369 and names “Anthonium et Iacobum fratres, filios suos”[577]. m firstly MARGUERITE d’Oron, daughter of GIRARD Seigneur d’Oron & his wife --- (-[12 Jun 1342/21 Mar 1344]). “Dominus Iohannes condominus de Albona miles” confirmed two legacies by “Margueretam ipsius militis relictam” and by “Eleenam relictam Iohannis de Lucingio de Dussillier, sororemque dicti militis” in favour of the abbey of Bonmont by charter dated 21 Mar 1344[578]. Despite the use of the word “relictam” in this charter, it is assumed from other documentation that Marguerite predeceased her husband and not the reverse. Her parentage is confirmed by the testament of her husband “Domini Iohannis condomini Albone militis”, dated 18 May 1350, which appoints “Humbertum filium suum” as heir to property which the testator received from “domina Margareta prima uxore sua filiaque quondam…domini Girardi de Orons militis”[579]. m secondly JOHANNETTE, daughter of JEAN Seigneur d’Anniviers & his wife --- (-after 11 Mar 1377).

B. SEIGNEURS d’AUBONNE (ALAMANDI)

As noted above, the Alamandi family acquired in the early 14th century the interests of the older branch of the original family of the seigneurs d’Aubonne, which had been sold in 1259 by Guerry co-Seigneur d’Aubonne to Pierre Comte de Savoie: Guerry Seigneur d’Aubonne ceded the seigneurie d’Aubonne 23 Aug 1259 to Pierre Comte de Savoie, whose daughter Beatrix transferred it to her maternal aunt Beatrix de Faucigny, mother of Humbert [III] Seigneur de Thoire et Villars, as a result of the judgment of Edmund, son of Henry III King of England, dated 3 Aug 1271[583]. Beatrix de Faucigny’s granddaughter Agnes de Thoire et Villars, Dame d’Aubonne, married Guillaume Alamandi, as shown below. The seigneurie d’Aubonne was the subject of continual disputes between the holders of the various competing sub-divided interests. In the late 14th century, the interests of the “Alamandi” seigneurs were consolidated in the hands of the comtes de Gruyère, while the younger branch of the original Aubonne family, descended from Jacques [II] Seigneur d’Aubonne, younger brother of co-Seigneur Guerry, continued to hold their share. The friction between the two groups persisted well into the 15th century.

GUILLAUME Alamandi de Valbonnais, son of GUIGUES Alamandi Seigneur de Valbonnais & his second wife Eléonore de Roussillon (-[27 Apr 1332/4 Aug 1333]). “Guigon Alamani seigneur de Valbonnais” granted “tous ses biens, sauf ce qu’il avait donné à Odon son autre fils” to “son fils Guillaume, en contemplation de [son] mariage...avec Agnès de Villars” by charter dated 16 Mar 1314[584]. A charter dated 24 Feb 1319 records an agreement between “Guilelmum Alamandi et Agnetem de Villariis eius uxorem” and “dominam Bynfa et Iohannem eius filium condominos de Albona” relating to the establishment of a new town at Aubonne[585]. “Guillerme Allamandi et Agnès du Villar sa femme” issued a charter dated 7 Aug 1322 relating to a property transaction[586]. “Nobles Pierre Artaud” and others swore homage to “Guillaume Allemand seigneur de Valbonnais” by charter dated 30 Oct 1324[587]. The testament of “Guillaume Allemand chevalier seigneur de Valbonnais”, dated 27 Apr 1332, named “sa [premièr] femme Agnès de Villars, de leur fils Hugues, de sa mère Eléonore de Roussillon, de ses filles Béatrix et Jeanne, de sa seconde femme Sibylle de la Palud”, and appointed “des curateurs à son fils Humbert”[588]. He died before 4 Aug 1333, the date of the charter quoted below in which his son is named seigneur de Valbonnais.

m firstly (contract 6 Mar 1314) AGNES de Thoire et Villars, daughter of HUMBERT [III] Seigneur de Thoire et Villars & his second wife Jordane de Grandson (-after 15 May 1326). Dame d’Aubonne. The marriage contract between “Guillaume Allemand fils de Guigues seigneur de Valbonnais” and “Agnès de Villard”, the father granting “à son fils la terre de Claix”, is dated 6 Mar 1314[589]. Her marriage is confirmed by the charter dated 20 Aug 1370 under which her son’s son-in-law “Rodulphus comes Gruerie” sold the succession in the seigneuries d’Aubonne et de Coppet, inherited from “dne Agnetis de Villar, quondam dne Albone, et dni Humberti Alamandi, eius filii”[590]. She succeeded her brother Amédée as Dame d’Aubonne[591]. A charter dated 24 Feb 1319 records an agreement between “Guilelmum Alamandi et Agnetem de Villariis eius uxorem” and “dominam Bynfa et Iohannem eius filium condominos de Albona” relating to the establishment of a new town at Aubonne[592]. “Guillerme Allamandi et Agnès du Villar sa femme” issued a charter dated 7 Aug 1322 relating to a property transaction[593].

m secondly SIBYLLE de la Palud, daughter of --- (-after 27 Apr 1332). The testament of “Guillaume Allemand chevalier seigneur de Valbonnais”, dated 27 Apr 1332, named “sa [premièr] femme Agnès de Villars, de leur fils Hugues, de sa mère Eléonore de Roussillon, de ses filles Béatrix et Jeanne, de sa seconde femme Sibylle de la Palud”, and appointed “des curateurs à son fils Humbert”[594]. The following charter suggests that Sibylle may have remarried after the death of her husband: “Jean seigneur de Chandieu, procureur de son épouse Sebilia de la Palud dame de Richemont” acknowledged holding a fief from Dauphin Humbert of revenue “dans le mandement de Richemont, à Bublanne” by charter dated 27 Jan 1337[595].

A charter dated 1322 [presumably misdated] records the settlement between “Guigues Alleman fils de feu Guigues Alleman chevalier seigneur de Valbonnais” and “Hugonin fils et héritier de feu Guillaume Alleman chevalier, fils du même Guigues” concerning the succession of “celui-ci [=Guigues] et de sa femme Eléonore de Roussillon mère desd.

Seigneur de Valbonnais: “Guillaume de Mévouillon chevalier seigneur de Barret-de-Liourre” addressed an inquiry to “...Hugonin Alamandi sr. de Valbonnais...” and others by charter dated 4 Aug 1333[598]. “Hugonin Alamandi seigneur de Valbonnais” appointed a proxy, with the consent of “son oncle Amédée Alamandi prieur de St-Laurent de Grenoble”, to acquire rights “sur la ville...de Mureils” by charter dated 17 Jan 1334 (O.S.)[599]. “Noble Odon Alleman fils de feu Gilet Alleman seigneur de Ste-Jalle” sold “des châteaux et mandements de Ste-Jalle et de Rochebrune” to “Hugonin Alleman seigneur de Valbonnais genologia Alamandorum” by charter dated 2 Jul 1346[600]. A charter dated 17 Mar 1349 records that, “Odon Allemand seigneur de Ste-Jalle et de Rochebrune étant mort sans enfants”, Dauphin Humbert “donne mainlevée des châteaux de Ste-Jalle et Rochebrune” to “son cousin Hugues Allemand seigneur de Valbonnais” by charter dated 17 Mar 1349[601]. His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 5/20 Jul 1354 under which “Hugues Alamandi miles dnus Walbonessii et Albone” recorded that “dnus Humbertus Alamandi miles, dnus Albone, frater noster” while alive had borrowed money from “Margarete filie suo, dno Rodulpho eius marito, filio dni Petri militis comitis de Grueria” and that he now repaid the debt[602].

a) CONSTANCE Alamandi (-before 1382). Her parentage and first marriage are confirmed by the following document: by letters dated 23 Feb 1412 “domina Johanne Alamanda, domina de Duygn” quoted the marriage contract dated 26 Oct 1356 between “domini Guillelmi de Balma” and “Constantie filie quondam domini Hugonis Alamandi, domini Valbonesii et Aubone”[608]. Chorier records her parentage, two marriages, and the lawsuit brought by Jean de la Baume, her son by her first marriage, against her second husband relating to her succession, settled by an agreement dated 1382 (no sources cited)[609]: a charter dated 6 Jul 1369 records a dispute concerning “la succession d’Hugues Allemand sr de Valbonnais” involving “Constance Allemand dame de Sassenage, Guigues Allemand co-sgr de Corps et Jean de La Baume”[610]. m firstly (contract 26 Oct 1356) as his second wife, GUILLAUME de la Baume Seigneur de l’Abergement, son of ETIENNE de la Baume dit Galois Seigneur de Montrevel & his wife Alix de Châtillon Dame de Montrevel (-Carignan before 29 Aug 1362).

C. SEIGNEURS de BLONAY, SEIGNEURS d’ORON, SEIGNEURS de VEVEY

Blonay is located about 2 kilometres east of Vevey and 5 kilometres north-west of Montreux in the present-day Swiss canton of Vaud. No attempt has been made to reconcile the following reconstruction with Europäische Stammtafeln[623], which in some details appear inconsistent with the sources which are cited below.

1. OTHON (-[1068/80?]). Avoué de Saint-Maurice d’Agaune. He is named in his wife’s 19 Jul 1068 charter cited below. If his son Amédée is correctly identified below, Charrière suggests that Othon was the son of “Aymerard II seigneur de Faucigny”[624], citing the 1 Feb 1083 (O.S.?) charter under which Guy [de Faucigny] Bishop of Geneva donated Contamines church to Cluny, for the souls of “avi nostri bonæ memoriæ Aimeradi...atque...Ottonis...avunculorum nostrorum”[625] (see the document BURGUNDY KINGDOM-GENEVOIS), and suggesting that “la charge éminente d’avoué d’un monastère aussi important que celui de St-Maurice saurait seulement avoir été remplie par un seigneur appartenant à quelque grande et puissante maison de la contrée, telle que l’était celle de Faucigny”. No other “Othon” has yet been identified at the time in another prominent local seigneurial family. Othon presumably died before 1080 when Amédée claimed the avouerie of Saint-Maurice d’Agaune. m ELDEGARDE, daughter of --- (-after 19 Jul 1068). “Burchard abbé de Saint-Maurice et Anselme prévôt de cette église” granted “villam d’Attalens” to “Eldegarde femme [d’Othon avoué de Saint-Maurice] et à Vaucher leur fils” by charter dated 19 Jul 1068[626]. Maybe she was Eldegarde, daughter of ---, related to the wife of Lambert de Grandson. This possible family origin is suggested by the following argument. Eldegarde’s connection with the Grandson family is indicated by the [1090] charter quoted below in which her son Amédée [I] is named “nepos” of Lambert de Grandson Bishop of Lausanne. Charrière calls Bishop Lambert “oncle (maternel)” of Amédée, presumably interpreting “nepos” in its strict sense of nephew[627]. If he is correct, Amédée’s mother would have been the bishop’s sister. However, the chronology is unfavorable, Amédée’s birth being estimated to [1050?] and the bishop’s father’s to [before 1045?] (both very approximate dates). Moreover, it seems more usual for rights in property (the serf in the [1090] charter) to be held jointly by collaterals, inherited from a common ancestor, than by four brothers with a sister (represented by her surviving son). “Nepos” in the [1090] charter probably therefore indicated a more distant family relationship than nephew. If that is correct, it is more likely that the relationship was on the maternal side of the Grandson family, in which case the four brothers and Amédée were descended from two sisters who shared the inheritance of their father. Othon & his wife had two children:

a) GAUTHIER [I] ([before 1050?]-after 19 Jul 1068). “Burchard abbé de Saint-Maurice et Anselme prévôt de cette église” granted “villam d’Attalens” to “Eldegarde femme [d’Othon avoué de Saint-Maurice] et à Vaucher leur fils]” by charter dated 19 Jul 1068[628]. The joint grant to Gauthier suggests that he was adult at the time. Charrière suggests that Gauthier was ancestor of “la maison d’Oron”[629].

b) AMEDEE [I] [de Blonay] ([1050?]-[1090/95]). Charrière identifies Amédée as “Amedeus qui advocatio ecclesiæ Agaunensis [Saint-Maurice d’Agaune] vindicavit sibi” named in 1080[630]. His birth date is estimated from the estimated birth date of his son Gaucher (see below). “Lambertus Lausonensis episcopus et frater meus Vldricus” donated a serf to Romainmôtier, with the support of “fratribus nostris Philippo et Conone et nepote nostro Amedeo”, by charter dated to [1090][631]. His absence from the 1095 charter quoted below suggests that Amédée was deceased at the time, but had probably died only recently to explain why he was named in the document as Gauthier’s father. m ---. The name of Amédée’s wife is not known. Amédée [I] & his wife had [two] children:

i) GAUCHER [II] de Blonay ([before 1075?]-[1095/2 May 1108]). Seigneur de Vevey et de Corsier: the cartulary of Notre-Dame de Lausanne records that “Lambertus…filius Lamberti comitis de Granzun” Bishop of Lausanne granted “Viueis et curiam de Corsie” [Vevey and Corsier] to “Walchero nepoti suo”[632]. Presumably this grant was made after the death of Gauthier’s father, so before 1095. The grant of property suggests that Gaucher was of age at the time. A charter dated 1095 records the donation made by “Leifredus de castello...Freuuencia” of property in “Uillare...sub villa...Quarnens” to Romainmôtier and the subsequent confirmation of the donation, witnessed by “Walcherius filius donni Amedei...”[633]. Gauthier presumably died before 2 May 1108, the date of the charter of his supposed brother Amédée [II].

ii) [AMEDEE [II] de Blonay (-after 2 May 1108). The chronology suggests that Amédée [II] was the brother of Gauthier [II] rather than his son. “Arluinus prior…sanctæ Mariæ de Abundantia” donated his church to Saint-Maurice d’Agaune, with the consent of “domino Guidone de Festerna ipsius ecclesiæ advocato...Amedei filii Uberti comitis, et tutoris eius Aymonis Gebennensis comitis”, by charter dated 2 May 1108, witnessed by “Amedeus de Bloniaco...”[634].]

The family chronology is not clear enough to decide whether Amédée [III] was the same person as Amédée [II] or was his son.

1. AMEDEE [III] de Blonay (-before [14?] Jul 1147). “Amédée de Blonay...avec son fils Vaucher II” donated property on the foundation of Hautcrèt by charter dated 1134[635]. “Amédée de Blonay...avoué de l’église de St-Maurice” confirmed the donation of “une partie du bois d’Oron” to Hautcrèt by Saint-Maurice d’Agaune by charter dated 1137[636]. “Vmbertus de Preingins” requested “Agaunensis ecclesiam supplex...et canonicos eiusdem ecclesie” to grant property “in Lustricao et in villa...Erans” [Lutry and Aran], previously held by “antecessores uxoris sue per prestariam”, to him “et uxori sue...Berthe et...ex filiis suis...Guillelmo”, which was accepted by “prior...Hugo...et canonici et Amedeus de Blonay advocatus”, by charter dated 23 Jun 1142[637]. Amédée Bishop of Lausanne confirmed donations to Théla, including “Amedeus de Blenai” donating “decimam vinearum...in Dasiloi” with the consent of “filiis suis Galcerio et Guillelmo...uxore Galcerii”, by charter dated 1147[638].

Estavayer names “Perrot ou Perron de Blonet, damoiseau, 1340, 1349; chevalier, 1395 (?)” (no sources cited) as second son of Jean and his wife[713]. Pierre is not named in Abbé Guillaume’s summary of his supposed mother’s 18 Dec 1340 testament, but Estavayer’s reference to “1340” suggests that he consulted the original document (he cites “Archives de la maison de Blonay”, as well as Abbé Guillaume, as his source).]

iii) RODOLPHE [Rolet] de Blonay (-[after 1361, maybe after 1383]). The testament of Jacquette de Joux, dated 18 Dec 1340, named “Hugues, Rolet, Henry et Jean de Blonay ses fils” as her heirs[714]. Estavayer suggests that was “probablement le même qu’on trouve nommé comme abbé de Hauterive en 1358” and in a charter dated 1361 which settles a dispute between Hautcrèt and Amédée de Billens Seigneur de Palézieux[715]. Estavayer also highlights the references to “Rodolphe de Blonay” as abbé de Bonmont in 1349 and as abbé de Montheron in 1383[716].

iv) HENRI de Blonay (-after 1355). The testament of Jacquette de Joux, dated 18 Dec 1340, named “Hugues, Rolet, Henry et Jean de Blonay ses fils” as her heirs[717]. Estavayer names him “sire de Rahon en 1355” (no source cited)[718].

v) JEAN de Blonay (-after 30 Jan 1349). The testament of Jacquette de Joux, dated 18 Dec 1340, named “Hugues, Rolet, Henry et Jean de Blonay ses fils” as her heirs[719]. The testament of Hugues de Blonay, dated 30 Jan 1348 (O.S.), records that his brother Jean had not yet received holy orders[720].

vi) AGNES de Blonay (-after 18 Dec 1340). The testament of Jacquette de Joux, dated 18 Dec 1340, bequeathed property to “...Agnelette sa fille...Guillemette sa seconde fille”[721].

vii) GUILLELME de Blonay (-after 18 Dec 1340). The testament of Jacquette de Joux, dated 18 Dec 1340, bequeathed property to “...Agnelette sa fille...Guillemette sa seconde fille”[722].

Jean had two illegitimate children by an unknown mistress:

viii) JEAN bâtard de Blonay (-after 18 Dec 1340). The testament of Jacquette de Joux, dated 18 Dec 1340, bequeathed property to “Juenet de Blonay fils naturel de son mari...Alix sœur dud. Juenet...”[723].

ix) ALIX bâtarde de Blonay (-after 18 Dec 1340). The testament of Jacquette de Joux, dated 18 Dec 1340, bequeathed property to “Juenet de Blonay fils naturel de son mari...Alix sœur dud. Juenet...”[724].

b) AIMON de Blonay (-after 31 Oct 1342). “Jordanette de Mont veuve de Perrod de Blonay coseigneur de Vevey et leur fils Jean et Aymon” sold annual harvest to Hautcrèt by charter dated late-Jan 1325[725]. “Aymon de Blonay au nom de Marguerite d’Oron sa femme” swore allegiance to the bishop of Lausanne for half “du bourg de Bottonens” by charter dated 1341[726]. “Aymo filius quondam...Perrodi de Blonay condomini Viviaci” sold his part of the town of Vevey, including the part of Bottonens “provenant de totue apparence de la dot de sa femme Marguerite fille de Rodolfe d’Oron seigneur d’Attalens...appartenant pour lors à Jean de Blonay sire du château de Joux”, to Jean Bishop of Lausanne by charter dated 31 Oct 1342[727]. m as her first husband, MARGUERITE d’Oron, daughter of RODOLPHE d’Oron Seigneur d’Attalens & his wife --- (-[1363/68]). “Aymon de Blonay au nom de Marguerite d’Oron sa femme” swore allegiance to the bishop of Lausanne for half “du bourg de Bottonens” by charter dated 1341[728]. She married secondly Gérard de Châtillon. She married thirdly Jean Comte de Gruyère.

c) RODOLPHE de Blonay (-after 18 Dec 1340). Seigneur de Saint-Paul. The testament of Jacquette, dated 18 Dec 1340, named “son époux et Rodolphe de Blonay chevalier seigneur de Saint-Paul son beau-frère” as her executors[729]. m ---. The name of Rodolphe’s wife is not known. Rodolphe & his wife had two or more children:

i) --- de Blonay (-after 30 Jan 1349). The testament of Hugues de Blonay, dated 30 Jan 1348 (O.S.), named as substitute heir “le fils aîné de son oncle Rodolphe de Blonay seigneur de St-Paul”[730].

d) ALIX de Blonay . Gingins la-Sarra says that “il paraît qu’Alix de Blonay, sœur de Jean sire de St. Paul et de Joux” brought part of “l’avouerie de Vevey” to her husband “Girard d’Oron” as dowry, which passed to “son gendre François de La Sarra”[731]. m GERARD d’Oron co-Seigneur de Vevey, son of PIERRE d’Oron co-Seigneur de Vevey & his wife [--- de Grandson] ([1270?]-after Apr 1334).

3. AIMON de Blonay (-1297 or after). A charter dated 11 Nov 1284 records a compromise between “Johannes et Petrus de Blonay pro se et Aymone fratre suo“ and “Petrus de Oron condominus Viviaci...Amedeus filius Petri de Oron” regarding their partition of rights in Vevey and Corsier[732]. Jean de Blonay “damoiseau” acknowledged owing the chapter of Lausanne half the legacy bequeathed by “Aymon de Blonay son oncle” in his 1297 testament, by charter dated 1323[733].

The primary source which confirms the parentage of Jean de Blonay has not been identified. The chronology does not appear ideal for him to have been Jean de Blonay ([1225/35?]-after 10 Aug 1291), son of Aimon, who is named above. If Jean was descended from Aimon, an intervening generation seems likely.

1. JEAN de Blonay (-before 6 Nov 1330). He is named as deceased in the 6 Nov 1330 testament of his widow. No primary source has been found which names Jean in his own capacity. m MARGUERITE de Neuchâtel, daughter of [RODOLPHE [IV] Seigneur de Neuchâtel & his second wife Sibylle de Montbéliard] (-after 6 Nov 1330, bur Neuchâtel). The testament of “Marguereta de Novo Castro uxor quondam Johannis de Blognay”, dated 6 Nov 1330, chose burial in the church of Neuchâtel, and bequeathed property to “Marguerete et Agnelete filiabus meis...Katherine filie Johannis filii mei”[734]. There is no direct evidence in the document of the parentage of Marguerite, although from a chronological point of view it is possible that she was a daughter of Rodolphe [IV] Seigneur de Neuchâtel. She is unlikely to have been the daughter of Amédée Seigneur de Neuchâtel, who is recorded elsewhere with a daughter named Marguerite who was an abbess. Jean & his wife had three children:

a) JEAN de Blonay . He is named as father of Catherine as noted below. The wording of the document suggests that he was still alive at the time. No primary source has been found which names Jean in his own capacity. m ---. Jean & his wife had one child:

i) CATHERINE de Blonay . The testament of “Marguereta de Novo Castro uxor quondam Johannis de Blognay”, dated 6 Nov 1330, bequeathed property to “Marguerete et Agnelete filiabus meis...Katherine filie Johannis filii mei”[735].

b) MARGUERITE de Blonay (-after 6 Nov 1330). The testament of “Marguereta de Novo Castro uxor quondam Johannis de Blognay”, dated 6 Nov 1330, bequeathed property to “Marguerete et Agnelete filiabus meis...Katherine filie Johannis filii mei”[736].

c) AGNES de Blonay (-after 6 Nov 1330). The testament of “Marguereta de Novo Castro uxor quondam Johannis de Blognay”, dated 6 Nov 1330, bequeathed property to “Marguerete et Agnelete filiabus meis...Katherine filie Johannis filii mei”[737].

The primary source which confirms the parentage of Jean de Blonay has not been identified.

1. JEAN de Blonay (-1413). Seigneur d’Attalens (under the 12 Oct 1375 testament cited below). Amédée VI Comte de Savoie and “Jean de Blonay damoiseau coseigneur de Vevey” agreed an exchange by charter dated 30 May 1376, ratified 11 Aug 1376, under which Jean ceded his jurisdiction in Vevey and Blonay, and the avouerie in Vevey, in return for retaining certain rights and properties, in particular his part “du péage de Vevey...soit de celui de Catherine d’Oron sa femme”, as well as various stipulations concerning Attalens[738]. Gingins la-Sarra records his death in 1413 (no source cited)[739]. m CATHERINE d’Oron, daughter of AIMON d’Oron Seigneur de Bossonens et d’Attalens & his wife Philiberte [Philippine] de Chevron (-after Oct 1394). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the testament of [her father] “Aymon d’Oron seigneur de Bossonens et d’Attalens”, dated 12 Oct 1375, bequeathed “à sa fille Catherine épouse de Jean de Blonay coseigneur de Vevey, sa seigneurie d’Attalens, grevée d’une jouissance de douaire en faveur de sa veuve Philippine”[740]. Charrière notes a charter dated 30 Aug, 3/20 Sep, Oct 1394 which records a dispute between “Catherine épouse de Jean de Blonay sire du château de Bex” and the third husband of her sister Marguerite[741]. Jean & his wife had four children:

a) LOUISE de Blonay . Gingins la-Sarra records her parentage and marriage[742]. m R[ODOLPHE] de Blonay Seigneur de Saint-Paul, son of ---.

b) MERMETTE de Blonay . Gingins la-Sarra records her parentage and marriage[743]. m AMEDEE Champion Seigneur de Vaurus, son of ---.

c) CATHERINE de Blonay . Gingins la-Sarra records her parentage and marriage[744]. m ANTOINE de Belletruches, son of ---.

d) MARGUERITE de Blonay . Gingins la-Sarra records her parentage and marriage[745]. m JEAN de Duyn co-Seigneur de Bex, son of ---.

The primary sources which confirm how the following family group was related to the earlier Blonay family have not been identified.

1. JEAN . Seigneur de Blonay. He is named in the 5 Apr 1455 testament of his daughter. m ---. Jean & his wife had three children:

a) GEORGES de Blonay . He is named in the 5 Apr 1455 testament of his sister.

b) PERRONETTE de Blonay (-after 5 Apr 1455, bur [Broch]). The testament of “Perroneta de Blonay filia...militis dni Iohannis dni de Blonay, exorque...Iohannis de Grueria dni de Montsalvens filii…dni pie memorie dni Anthonii dni et comitis Gruerie militis”, dated 5 Apr 1455, chose burial “in capella Sti Nycollai in ecclesia de Broch” in the tomb of “dominorum de Montsalvens” in which “duo meorum liberorum” were buried, appointed as her heirs “liberos meos”, with “Iohannem de Grueria oniugem meum...Georgium de Blonay fratrem meum paternum” as successive substitutes, bequeathed property to “nobili Mathee de Blonay sorori mee paterne”, sealed by “Franciscus comes et dnus Gruerie”[746].

c) MATHEE de Blonay . She is named in the 5 Apr 1455 testament of her sister. Charrière records her marriage contract and her husband’s parentage[747]. m (contract 17 Apr 1459) CLAUDE de La-Sarra Seigneur de Bossonens, son of ANSELME de La-Sarra & his [first wife Louise de Blonay/second wife Etiennette d’Arbonnier].

Oron is located about 10 kilometres due north of Vevey in the present-day Swiss county of Vaud. The Blonay family shared the seigneurie de Vevey with the seigneurs d’Oron from the early 13th century. As noted above, Charrière suggests that Gauthier, named in 1068 and supposed younger brother of Amédée [I] [de Blonay], was ancestor of “la maison d’Oron”[748], based on the two brothers being ancestors of the co-seigneurs de Vevey. However, this does not adequately explain the apparent absence of sources linking the Oron family to Vevey before [1236], as noted below. The reconstruction of this family in Europäische Stammtafeln includes many more details[749], which have not been verified by primary sources.

1. RODOLPHE de Oron (-before May 1257). Seigneur d’Oron. A charter dated to [1236] records that “Rodulphus dominus de Orons” granted freedoms to Vevey, with the advice of “A. domini de Foucigniaco et domini R. de Grueria et domini Ay. de Blonico et...domini Willelmi de Orons filii prenominati R. de Orons et aliorum filiorum eiusdem...Johannis de Orons canonici Lausanensis, Rodulphi domicelli, Amedei, Petri, Girardi“[750]. “Rodulfus dominus de Orons” settled a dispute with Lausanne Notre-Dame, with the consent of “Alix uxoris mee, Willermi militis, Rodulfi, Amedei, Petri et Girardi filiorum meorum” and noting that “Iohannes filius meus canonicus Lausann. erat Parisius” and that he would consent on his return, by charter dated 27 Feb 1240 (O.S.?)[751]. He is named as deceased in the [after 1 May] 1257 charter cited below. m ALIX, daughter of --- (-after May 1257). “Rodulfus dominus de Orons” settled a dispute with Lausanne Notre-Dame, with the consent of “Alix uxoris mee, Willermi militis, Rodulfi, Amedei, Petri et Girardi filiorum meorum” by charter dated 27 Feb 1240 (O.S.?)[752]. Rodolphe Comte de Gruyère notified “relictæ Rodulphi domini de Orons” that he had sold “advocatiam de Viveys” to Pierre Comte de Savoie by charter dated [after 1 May] 1257[753]. Rodolphe & his wife had seven children:

a) GUILLAUME d’Oron . A charter dated to [1236] records that “Rodulphus dominus de Orons” granted freedoms to Vevey, with the advice of “A. domini de Foucigniaco et domini R. de Grueria et domini Ay. de Blonico et...domini Willelmi de Orons filii prenominati R. de Orons et aliorum filiorum eiusdem...Johannis de Orons canonici Lausanensis, Rodulphi domicelli, Amedei, Petri, Girardi“[754]. “Rodulfus dominus de Orons” settled a dispute with Lausanne Notre-Dame, with the consent of “Alix uxoris mee, Willermi militis, Rodulfi, Amedei, Petri et Girardi filiorum meorum” by charter dated 27 Feb 1240 (O.S.?)[755].

b) JEAN d’Oron . Canon at Lausanne. A charter dated to [1236] records that “Rodulphus dominus de Orons” granted freedoms to Vevey, with the advice of “A. domini de Foucigniaco et domini R. de Grueria et domini Ay. de Blonico et...domini Willelmi de Orons filii prenominati R. de Orons et aliorum filiorum eiusdem...Johannis de Orons canonici Lausanensis, Rodulphi domicelli, Amedei, Petri, Girardi“[756]. “Rodulfus dominus de Orons” settled a dispute with Lausanne Notre-Dame, with the consent of “Alix uxoris mee, Willermi militis, Rodulfi, Amedei, Petri et Girardi filiorum meorum” and noting that “Iohannes filius meus canonicus Lausann. erat Parisius” and that he would consent on his return, by charter dated 27 Feb 1240 (O.S.?)[757].

c) RODOLPHE d’Oron (-before Jul 1282). A charter dated to [1236] records that “Rodulphus dominus de Orons” granted freedoms to Vevey, with the advice of “A. domini de Foucigniaco et domini R. de Grueria et domini Ay. de Blonico et...domini Willelmi de Orons filii prenominati R. de Orons et aliorum filiorum eiusdem...Johannis de Orons canonici Lausanensis, Rodulphi domicelli, Amedei, Petri, Girardi“[758]. “Rodulfus dominus de Orons” settled a dispute with Lausanne Notre-Dame, with the consent of “Alix uxoris mee, Willermi militis, Rodulfi, Amedei, Petri et Girardi filiorum meorum” by charter dated 27 Feb 1240 (O.S.?)[759]. Seigneur d’Oron. He is named as deceased in the Jul 1282 charter cited below under his son. m (before 1268?) ANTONIE, daughter of --- (-after Jul 1282). She is named as mother of Pierre in the Jul 1282 charter cited below. Her marriage date is suggested as the same document specifies that Pierre was a minor at the time (Williams records 14 as the age of majority in the diocese of Lausanne at that time[760]). Rodolphe & his wife had four children:

i) GERARD d’Oron ([1268/70?]-). “Petrus…Sedunensis episcopus tutor liberorum quondam Rodulphi domini de Orons et…Anthonia relicta dicti Rodulphi et Girardus quondam filius eiusdem Rodulphi” sold rights “in villa et territorio de Concisa et nemus de Seythyz...” to “Octoni domino Grandissoni”, with the consent of “Jaquete Willelmete et Amfeisie filiarum quondam dicti Rodulphi”, “dictus Gerardus...scientia minoris etatis” specifically selling the property with the consent of “predicti domini episcopi tutoris mei et predicta Anthonie matris mee”, by charter dated Jul 1282[761]. His birth date is estimated on the assumption that he had nearly reached the age of majority in this document, to justify the specific clause in which he authorised the sale.

ii) JACQUETTE d’Oron (-after Jul 1282). She is named in the Jul 1282 charter cited above under her brother.

iii) GUILLELMETTE d’Oron (-after Jul 1282). She is named in the Jul 1282 charter cited above under her brother.

iv) AMFISIE d’Oron (-after Jul 1282). She is named in the Jul 1282 charter cited above under her brother.

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

i) RODOLPHE d’Oron (-[1356/16 Aug 1359]). Aimon Bishop of Sion confirmed that “domino Girardo de Oron quondam decano Valeriæ” had held “vicedominatum de Mustruez [Montreux]” and confirmed it to “Girardi de Oron condomini Viviaci successoris dicti domini decani...per...dominum Girardum nunc decanum Valeriæ”, noting “vinea Dou Tray de Baye...quam nunc tenet Rodulphus frater dicti domini decani”, by charter dated 21 Mar 1312[764]. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Rodolphe’s wife has not been identified. Rodolphe & his wife had two children:

(1) FRANÇOIS d’Oron (-1388). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified. m MARIE de Gruyère, daughter of RODOLPHE [IV] Comte de Gruyère & his first wife Marguerite Alamandi (-before 1383). “Margareta filia quondam Humberti dni de Albona, consors…dni Rodulphi de Grueris militis” is dated 7 Aug 1360, chose burial “in ecclesia Carthusiensium Partis Dei”, appoints “dnum Rodulphum maritum et dnum meum…Rodulphum filium meum…et Mariam filiam meam” as her heirs, and in default “Eilinode et Iohannete sororibus meis”[765]. “Rodulphus comes Gruerie, Rodulphus et Maria eius liberi et quondam Margarete eiusdem dni Rodulphi consortis filieque dni Humberti Alamandi militis dni de Albona et de Coppeto, maiores quatuordecim annos” sold their succession in the seigneuries d’Aubonne et de Coppet, inherited from “dne Agnetis de Villar, quondam dne Albone, et dni Humberti Alamandi, eius filii, avi nostrorum dictorum Rodulphi et Marie”, to “dno Guillelmo de Grandissono militia dno Sancte Crucis et Albone” by charter dated 20 Aug 1370[766]. The primary source which confirms her marriage has not been identified.

(2) MARGUERITE d’Oron (-[1363/68]). Her parentage and first marriage are confirmed by the following document: “Aymon de Blonay au nom de Marguerite d’Oron sa femme” swore allegiance to the bishop of Lausanne for half “du bourg de Bottonens” by charter dated 1341[767]. The primary source which confirms her second and third marriages has not been identified. Dame de Blonay. m firstly AIMON de Blonay, son of PIERRE co-Seigneur de Blonay & his wife Jordanette de Mont (-after 31 Oct 1342). m secondly GERARD de Châtillon, son of ---. m thirdly (1363 or before) as his third wife, JEAN Comte de Gruyère, son of RODOLPHE de Gruyère & his wife Contesson --- (-16 Jan or 12 Feb [1369/71]).

ii) GERARD d’Oron . Deacon of Valerie. Gingins la-Sarra notes that Gérard was “fils d’Amédée d’Orons seigneur d’Attalens et de Bossonens”[768]. Aimon Bishop of Sion confirmed that “domino Girardo de Oron quondam decano Valeriæ” had held “vicedominatum de Mustruez [Montreux]” and confirmed it to “Girardi de Oron condomini Viviaci successoris dicti domini decani...per...dominum Girardum nunc decanum Valeriæ”, noting “vinea Dou Tray de Baye...quam nunc tenet Rodulphus frater dicti domini decani”, by charter dated 21 Mar 1312[769].

e) PIERRE d’Oron (-after Jul 1282). A charter dated to [1236] records that “Rodulphus dominus de Orons” granted freedoms to Vevey, with the advice of “A. domini de Foucigniaco et domini R. de Grueria et domini Ay. de Blonico et...domini Willelmi de Orons filii prenominati R. de Orons et aliorum filiorum eiusdem...Johannis de Orons canonici Lausanensis, Rodulphi domicelli, Amedei, Petri, Girardi“[770]. “Rodulfus dominus de Orons” settled a dispute with Lausanne Notre-Dame, with the consent of “Alix uxoris mee, Willermi militis, Rodulfi, Amedei, Petri et Girardi filiorum meorum” by charter dated 27 Feb 1240 (O.S.?)[771]. Bishop of Sion[772]. “Petrus…Sedunensis episcopus tutor liberorum quondam Rodulphi domini de Orons...” sold rights to “Octoni domino Grandissoni” by charter dated Jul 1282[773].

f) GERAUD d’Oron (-1 Nov 1309). A charter dated to [1236] records that “Rodulphus dominus de Orons” granted freedoms to Vevey, with the advice of “A. domini de Foucigniaco et domini R. de Grueria et domini Ay. de Blonico et...domini Willelmi de Orons filii prenominati R. de Orons et aliorum filiorum eiusdem...Johannis de Orons canonici Lausanensis, Rodulphi domicelli, Amedei, Petri, Girardi“[774]. “Rodulfus dominus de Orons” settled a dispute with Lausanne Notre-Dame, with the consent of “Alix uxoris mee, Willermi militis, Rodulfi, Amedei, Petri et Girardi filiorum meorum” by charter dated 27 Feb 1240 (O.S.?)[775]. Cantor at Lausanne. Deacon of Valerie. Boniface Bishop of Sion sold “vicedominatum de Mustruez [Montreux]...a clusa Chillionis usque ad aquam...Vivesia” to “domino Girardo de Oron cantori ecclesiæ Lausannensis et decano Valeriæ in ecclesia Sedunensi” by charter dated 6 Apr 1295[776]. Gingins la-Sarra records that Gérard “le sixième fils de Rodolphe seigneur d’Oron et frère de Pierre évêque de Sion” died 1 Nov 1309 (no source cited)[777]. He is named deceased in the 21 Mar 1312 cited below.

g) [MARGUERITE (-after Jun 1274). “Iacobi condomini de Albona domicelli, domini mei, Marguerete uxoris eius, Aymonis et Iohannis filiorum suorum” consented to a sale of property by “Iohannes de Sancto-Symphoriano” to “Nicholao dicto Magnyn burgensi de Albona”, by charter dated Jun 1274[778]. Her family origin is suggested by the charter dated Sep 1285 under which her son “Johannes filius quondam Jacobi condomini de Albona” acknowledged a debt to “domini P…episcopi Sedunensis avunculi mei”[779]. m as his second wife, JACQUES Seighneur d’Aubonne, son of JACQUES [II] Seigneur d’Aubonne & his wife Beatrix --- ([1212/22]-[Jun 1274/Oct 1277]).]

The primary source which confirms the parentage of Pierre d’Oron has not been identifed. Kingsford suggests that he “may be the Gerard, son of Rodolphe, Seigneur de Orons, who sold Concise to [Othon de Grandson] in 1282”[780]. However, Gérard, son of Rodolphe, was a minor in Jul 1282 (see above), whereas Pierre shown below was already adult in [1276].

1. PIERRE d’Oron (-1301[781]). Co-Seigneur de Vevey. “Jean, fils d’Aymon, seigneur de Blonay” requested Pierre Comte de Savoie to oblige “Pierre d’Oron” to swear homage for Vevey by charter dated to [1276][782]. “Jordanus de Mura miles…” swore allegiance to “Petro de Oron condomino de Viviaco” by charter dated Jul 1280[783]. A charter dated 11 Nov 1284 records a compromise between “Johannes et Petrus de Blonay pro se et Aymone fratre suo“ and “Petrus de Oron condominus Viviaci...Amedeus filius Petri de Oron” regarding their partition of rights in Vevey and Corsier[784]. m ([1265?]) --- [de Grandson], daughter of --- ([1245/50?]-)]. This supposed person’s marriage and Grandson connection are indicated by the dispensation of Pope Clement V dated 19 Oct 1305 which names “Othonis de Grandisono...cum nepote eius...Petro de Orons thesaurario eccl. Lausunen.”, as well as the 3 Jul 1290 charter which names her second son Gérard as “nephew” of Othon[785]. Europäische Stammtafeln names her “Jaquette de Grandson” (no parents named)[786], which Williams suggests is “probably a confusion with her niece Jacquette de Grandson-Belmont”[787]. Her marriage is estimated to [1265?] based on the likely birth date of her second son, which in turn suggests her birth date in [1245/50?]. If that is correct, she could have been the daughter of Pierre [I] de Grandson by his known wife Agnès de Neufchâtel. Alternatively she could have been a granddaughter of Pierre [I] by his supposed first marriage or the descendant of another child of Ebles [III] Seigneur de Grandson. Pierre [II] & his wife had three children:

a) AMEDEE d’Oron (-[11 Nov 1284/1301]). A charter dated 11 Nov 1284 records a compromise between “Johannes et Petrus de Blonay pro se et Aymone fratre suo“ and “Petrus de Oron condominus Viviaci...Amedeus filius Petri de Oron” regarding their partition of rights in Vevey and Corsier[788]. He presumably predeceased his father.

b) GERARD d’Oron ([1270?]-after Apr 1334). Gingins la-Sarra notes that Gérard was “fils et successeur de Pierre coseigneur de Vevey et héritier de son grand-oncle le chantre”[789]. An order dated 3 Jul 1290 confirmed a charter of “Otto de Grandison to Peter de Wypens his nephew” to whom he granted properties in Ireland (including “Estremoye and Oenny”), with remainder to “Gerard de Crous, nephew of the said Otto”[790]: Kingsford corrects “Crous” in this document to “Oron”, noting the 29 Jul 1304 document cited below[791]. His birth date is estimated on the assumption that he was a young man in 1290. An order dated 1 Apr 1298 records “Peter de Sabaudia, dean of St. Mary’s, Salisbury, going to the court of Rome, nominating Guichard de Marval and Gerard de Orum his attorneys...”, while an order dated 28 Mar 1301 records “Gerard de Orum, gone beyond seas, nominating Roger de Prestenden his attorny in Ireland for one year”[792]. An order dated 28 Jan 1304 records “protection, with clause volumus, for one year, for John de Chaumpvent, going beyond the seas” and letters for him “nominating Gerard de Or[um] his attorney”[793]. An order dated 29 Jul 1304 records “Gerard de Orum, king’s yeoman” exchanging “lands of Estremoy and Otheny in Ireland...” for “the manor of Morton, co. Devon” with “Richard de Burgo earl of Ulster”[794]. Aimon Bishop of Sion confirmed that “domino Girardo de Oron quondam decano Valeriæ” had held “vicedominatum de Mustruez [Montreux]” and confirmed it to “Girardi de Oron condomini Viviaci successoris dicti domini decani...per...dominum Girardum nunc decanum Valeriæ”, noting “vinea Dou Tray de Baye...quam nunc tenet Rodulphus frater dicti domini decani”, by charter dated 21 Mar 1312[795]. An order dated 5 Jun 1317 records the grant of “the reversion of the manors of Ditton Camoys, co. Cambridge, and Shenele, co. Hertford, which Otto de Grandisono holds, for life, of the grant of the late king” to “Gerard de Orum, king’s yeoman”[796]. Amédée Comte de Savoie and “Girardum filium quondam Petri de Oron condomine Viviaci” divided “vicedominatum de Mustruez [Montreux]” by charter dated 18 Aug 1317[797]. “Girart Dorens” wrote to “mons. Hue le Despencier seignur de Glamurgant” dated 9 Mar 1324[798]. Kingsford records other sources dated 1321/23, 1324/25, 27 May 1325, 25 May 1328, 22 Dec 1330-24 Oct 1331 (Sénéchal de Poitou), and April 1334 in which he was named[799]. m ALIX de Blonay, daughter of PIERRE de Blonay co-Seigneur de Vevey & his wife Jordanette de Mont. Gingins la-Sarra says that “il paraît qu’Alix de Blonay, sœur de Jean sire de St. Paul et de Joux” brought part of “l’avouerie de Vevey” to her husband “Girard d’Oron” as dowry, which passed to “son gendre François de La Sarra”[800]. Gérard & his wife had one child:

i) MARIE d’Oron . Gingins la-Sarra records “Marie d’Oron, fille unique de Girard d’Oron seigneur de Montreux et coseigneur de Vevey” who married in 1338 “François baron de La Sarraz chevalier, bailif de Vaud et du Chablais”, noting a charter dated 1340 which names “Franciscus filius…Aymonis domini de Sarrata et Maria uxor dicti Francisci filia quondam domini Girardi de Orons militis, condomini Viviaci”[801]. m (1338) FRANÇOIS [I] Seigneur de La Sarraz, son of AIMON Seigneur de La Sarraz & his wife ---.

The primary source which names Gérard’s father has not been identified.

1. GERARD d’Oron . He is named as deceased in the 18 May 1350 charter quoted below. m ---. The name of Gérard’s wife is not known. Gérard & his wife had one child:

Despite the use of the word “relictam” in this charter, it is assumed from other documentation that Marguerite predeceased her husband and not the reverse. Her parentage is confirmed by the testament of her husband “Domini Iohannis condomini Albone militis”, dated 18 May 1350, which appoints “Humbertum filium suum” as heir to property which the testator received from “domina Margareta prima uxore sua filiaque quondam…domini Girardi de Orons militis”[804]. m as his first wife, JEAN [II] Seigneur d’Aubonne, son of JEAN [I] Seigneur d’Aubonne & his wife Binfa --- ([1295/1303]-after 18 Sep 1369).

D. SEIGNEURS de BONVILLARS

Bonvillars is located near the northern shore at the south-western end of Lake Neuchâtel, about 2 kilometres north-east of Grandson, in the northern part of the present-day Swiss canton of Vaud. The reconstruction of the Bonvillars family shown below is tentative and involves much uncertainty. More definite conclusions must await the emergence of more primary source material.

1. HUGUES de Bonvillars (-after 1141, maybe after 1154). “...Hugo de Binuilar...” witnessed the charter dated to [1110/11] which records a hearing of a dispute involving Romainmôtier[814]. “...Ugo de Bonouilare et Burchardus frater” witnessed the charter dated to [1120/25] under which “domnus Eubolus” [de Grandson] agreed to respect a judgment in favour of Romainmôtier[815]. “...Hugonem de Boniuillare...” witnessed the charter dated to [1125] under which “donnus Eubolus de Grantione” donated his rights in a serf to Romainmôtier[816]. Williams cites other charters dated between [1126] and 1141 in which Hugues was named, suggesting that the witness in the following document may have been the same Hugues or his son[817]. “...Hugo de Bevilar...” witnessed the charter dated 1154 under which “dominus Falco et Cono, frater eius” donated rights in certain serfs to “domino de Grantione” and Romainmôtier[818]. The following document suggests that Hugues, named in 1154, retired as a monk soon afterwards: “...Hugo monacus de Bien-vilar...” witnessed a charter dated 1154 which records donations to Théla, approved by “Bartholomeus prefecto de Bellomonte...[de Grandson]”[819].

2. HUMBERT de Bonvillars (-after 1174). The primary source which confirms Humbert’s parentage has not been identified, but presumably he was closely related to Hugues de Bonvillars. Landri Bishop of Lausanne confirmed donations to Théla, including “Umbertus de Binvilar et filii eius...Willelmus et Umbertus, pro animarum...matris sue” donating property “in territorio de Mugneus et in illo de Yverdun...”, by charter dated 1174, witnessed by “...Umbertus miles de Binvilar et Petrus filius eius...”[820]. m ---. The name of Humbert’s wife is not known. Humbert & his wife had three children:

a) GUILLAUME de Bonvillars . He is named with his father in the 1174 charter cited above.

b) HUMBERT de Bonvillars . He is named with his father in the 1174 charter cited above.

c) PIERRE de Bonvillars . He witnessed the 1174 charter cited above with his father.

1. HENRI de Bonvillars (-after Oct 1271). Taylor says that Jean de Bonvillars was “possibly...son of Sir Henry de Bonvillars, named as castellan of Rue in 1258, mentioned in the account of Châtel-Argent in 1267-8, and named as joining Count Philip [de Savoie] at Aosta in Oct 1271”[821]. Andenmatten records Henri de Bonvillars as châtelain at Rue and Moudon in 1258 (no source cited)[822]. Williams cites other sources which refer to Henri witnessing a charter dated “1250/1”, date the 1258 reference to 21 Nov 1258, and record Henri at Moudon until 1264 and at Rue until 1266[823].

1. --- de Bonvillars (-before 22 Mar 1280). The primary source which confirms the name of the father of the two sons shown below has not been identified. The chronology suggests that he could have been Henri de Bonvillars who is named above, although it is also possible that he was Guillaume who is named below as father of Othonj [I]. [Seigneur de Bonvillars]. This person presumably died before 22 Mar 1279 (O.S.), when his son Jean [I] swore allegiance (see below). m [firstly] ---. The name of this person’s first] wife is not known. [m secondly ---. The chronology indicates that Henri, second son of “--- de Bonvillars”, was several years younger than his brother Jean [I] shown below, which suggests their births from different marriages of their father. As will be seen below, Henri is named “mon frere le prior de Wenloc” by Othon Seigneur de Grandson. In addition, Guillaume de Bonvillars, possible son of Othon [I] (son of Guillaume), is named as Othon de Grandson’s “nepos”. Bearing in mind these two references, Williams has suggested a marriage between an otherwise unrecorded sister of Othon de Grandson and Othon [I] de Bonvillars[824] (see below for discussion). He suggests that Othon de Grandson was “obviously not Prior Henri’s sibling, and his brother-in-law only in the widest possible sense, i.e. as Othon’s sister had married Henri’s brother”. However, no example has been found, during the compilation of Medieval Lands, of “frère/brother” being used to indicate such an indirect family relationship. While the possibility of such use cannot be dismissed entirely, a completely different scenario could be that Henri’s sibling relationship with Othon de Grandson was different from Othon [I] nepos relationship with him. If that is correct, Henri’s father may have married secondly (after 31 Aug 1363) as her second husband, Agnès de Neuchâtel, widow of Pierre [I] Seigneur de Grandson, daughter of Ulric [IV] Comte de Neuchâtel & [his second wife Jolanthe von Urach] ([1224/25?]-after 15 Apr 1283, bur [Grandson Priory]). Given Agnès’s estimated birth date, Henri’s birth from such a second marriage would have been possible. The suggestion is also consistent with Henri’s father having married twice. Williams’s suggestion about Othon [I]’s Grandson marriage remains valid as the two theories would not be mutually exclusive.] --- & his [first] wife had one child:

a) JEAN [I] de Bonvillars ([before 1245?]-[Jul/Nov] 1287). His birth date is suggested on the assumption that he was adult when first named, but bearing in mind the possibility that he had deceased sons in 1279 (see below). Jean [I] is recorded as the brother of Henri in the 1292 document cited below. Seigneur de Bonvillars: letters dated 21 Mar 1279 (O.S.) record “domini Johannis de Bono Villario, militis” swearing allegiance to “domino Ludovico” [Louis de Savoie, de Vaud] for “domo sua sita in Rotundo monte...de villa de Mayseres...”[825]. Taylor records that “Sir John de Bonvillars” was named 3 Apr 1277 as the bearer of a letter from King Edward I to Othon de Grandison[826], and was named in other sources dated Sep 1277, 1278, 1283, 1284 (“commiliti domini Ottonis de Grandisono”), 1284/87, and Oct 1285 (as constable of Harlech castle), and that he died [Jul/Nov] 1287 “possibly one of several knights killed in action at siege of Dryslwyn, S. Wales”[827]. An order dated 10 Jul 1290 records the king’s pardon for “the executors of the will of John de Bono Villar[io], later constable of his castle of Hardelagh [Harlech]”[828]. m AGNES, daughter of --- (-after 22 Sep 1290). Taylor records that King Edward I gave “a silver-gilt cup and cover” to Agnes, wife of Jean [I], 18 Feb 1286[829]. An order dated 22 Sep 1290 notified the king’s pardon for “Agnes, late the wife of John de Bono Villario” for not paying a fine[830]. Taylor names “[John’s] wife Agnes, much favoured by Edward I...very probably a sister of Otto de Grandson”[831]. He cites no source which corroborates her Grandson family connection, which is presumably speculative to explain the Bonvillars/Grandson family relationships which are discussed elsewhere in the present section. Williams highlights that, if Taylor correctly identified Jean’s wife as Othon’s sister, “we then have a case of Othon I de Grandson having two sisters both named Agnes” (assuming that Agnes de Grandson, wife of Ulrich [I] Seigneur de Vuippens, was Othon’s sister), although he recognises that the possibility of such double-naming cannot be excluded[832]. Jean [I] & his wife had [five or more?] children:

i) [sons (-before 22 Mar 1279?). The 22 Mar 1279 charter cited above includes Jean de Bonvillars’s commitment that “if he happened to have more legitimate lay sons” (“si nos habere contingerit plures filios laycos legitimos”) one of them would pay homage to the Savoy family, Williams adding that “this seems to point to Jean de Bonvillars` lack of surviving legitimate lays sons in 1279, but that we should not take the word ‘lay’ necessarily to mean that he had clerical sons alive at that date” (referring to the possible parentage of Guillaume de Bonvillars, “nepos” of Othon de Grandson (see below)[833]. This does not of course exclude the possibility of sons being born after 1279, although the apparent succession of his seigneurie by his supposed brother Othon [I] suggests that Jean [I] died without surviving male heirs.]

ii) [three?] or more daughters ([1279/82?]-). An order dated 1292 records “Henrico Priori de Wenlok” paying “centum marcas ad unam filiarum Johannis de Bevillard defuncti fratris eiusdem Prioris inde maritandam”[834]. Presumably the daughter mentioned in this document was approaching the age at which her marriage would be discussed, therefore under the age of 14 when her marriage may already have been arranged.

--- & his second wife had one child:

b) HENRI de Bonvillars ([1263/65?]-[1315/26 Feb 1319]. The 1292 document cited above confirms that Henri was the brother of Jean [I] de Bonvillars. Henri’s birth date is estimated on the assumption that he was a young adult when he received his first ecclesiastical appointment in England, suggesting that he was several years younger than his brother, which in turn suggests his possible birth from a possible second marriage of his father. Taylor identifies him as “one of John’s brothers...Henry de Bonvillars, a Cluniac monk of Payerne...prior of Bermondsey (Surrey), and Wenlock (Shropshire) from 1285 to 1321”[835]. His ecclesiastical positions are confirmed by the following documents: (1) an order dated 5 May 1285 “to restore the temporalities of the priory of Bermundese to Henry, late dean of Payern (de Patriniaco)...”[836]; and (2) an order dated 10 Sep 1285 “to restore the temporalities of the priory of Wenlok to Henry de Bono Villar’, late prior of Bermundeseye...”[837]. Letters dated 10 Jun 1290: “Otto de Grandisono, going to the Holy Land, nominating Henry, prior of Wenlok, and William de Grandisono for three years”, protection granted the same date[838]. By letter dated 1292 Othon de Grandson names Henri de Bonvillars Prior of Wenlock as “mon frere le prior de Wenloc”[839]. An order dated 12 Oct 1294 granted “protection, with clause volumus, for two years, for Gerard de Wyspayns, archdeacon of Richmond, going beyond the seas on the king’s service”, with letters nominating “Henry prior of Wenlok, and John de Dytton, his attorneys for the same period”[840]. Letters dated 15 May 1299: “Otto de Grandisono, going beyond seas on the king’s service, nominating William de Grandisono and Henry, prior of Wenlok, his attorneys for one year”[841]. Letters dated 1 Feb 1303: “Otto de Grandisono, gone to the court of Rome on the king’s affairs, nominating Henry, prior of Wenlok, for one year”[842]. Kingsford cites other sources dated 1290, 1298, 1303, 1303, and 1315 which name Henri, and notes that his successor at Wenlock was named 26 Feb 1319[843]. Williams says that “Othon de Grandson obviously was not Prior Henri’s sibling, and his brother-in-law only in the widest possible sense, i.e. [if] Othon’s sister had married Henri’s brother”[844].

1. GUILLAUME de Bonvillars . The [before 23] Nov 1299 testament of Othon [I] de Bonvillars, cited below, names his father “Guillaume”. No other reference to a “Guillaume de Bonvillars” at that time has been found. It has not been confirmed whether Guillaume was the same person as the unnamed father of Jean [I] and Henri (see above). An alternative possibility is that Guillaume was the unnamed person’s brother and that his son Othon [I] was Jean [I]’s first cousin and successor. m ---. The name of Guillaume’s wife is not known. Guillaume & his wife had one child:

a) OTHON [I] de Bonvillars ([before 1250?]-[late Nov 1299/15 May 1312]). His parentage is confirmed by his [before 23] Nov 1299 testament cited below. His birth date is suggested on the assumption that he was adult when first named in 1278, although Taylor records that “probably Otto de Bonvillars, named as justice of the Channel Islands under Otto de Grandson in 1278, was another [brother of John]”[845]: an order dated 28 Dec 1278 records that “Otto de Bono Villar[io] [and others]...[were] appointed as justices to hold assises...within [the islands of Gernese and Gerese]” [the Channel Islands then under the jurisdiction of Othon de Grandson][846]. Seigneur de Bonvillars: “...Dominus Otho de Bono vilario miles...” witnessed the charter dated 17 Oct 1299 which records “Rolinus filius quondam Girardi condomini de Estavaye...” swearing allegiance to “domino Petro condomino de Estavaye militi” for certain territories[847]. In the testament of “Othon de Bonvillars, chevalier [assumed to be Othon [I]], fils de feu Wilhelme”, dated [before 23] Nov 1299, he donated “les censes qu’Othon possédait au village de Pommiers...acquises en mars 1282 d’Isabelle veuve d’Ulrich de St. Martin et de ses enfants Aymon, Rolet, Pierre, Wuilhelme” to the Dominicans at Eichissye, for the souls of himself and ”ses parents défunts, Poncette sa première femme, Isabelle la seconde, son père Wuillelme de Bonvillars, Wuillelme de Valères, Jean Coseigneur d’Estavayer”, sealed by Othon[848]. “Johannes dictus de Binvilar domicellus, filius quondam domini Othonis de Binvilar militis” swore allegiance to Rodolphe [IV] Comte de Neuchâtel for numerous specified fiefs by charter dated 15 May 1312[849]. m firstly PONCETTE, daughter of ---. She is named in her husband’s [before 23] Nov 1299 testament cited above. As noted above, the [before 23] Nov 1299 testament of “Othon de Bonvillars, chevalier [assumed to be Othon [I]], fils de feu Wilhelme” names ”...Poncette sa première femme, Isabelle la seconde...”. No other reference to these two wives has been found. Her connection with the Grandson family is indicated by an indult of Pope Clement V dated 8 Sep 1308 which names “Ottonis domini de Grandisono...nepoti eius Guillelmo...de Bonovilerio [her supposed son] canonico et preposito ecclesie Lausanen.”[850]. It is possible therefore that Othon married firstly ([1270/73?]) --- [de Grandson], daughter of --- ([1255/58?]-). If this estimated marriage date is correct, this person could have been the daughter of Pierre [I] de Grandson by his known wife Agnès de Neufchâtel. Alternatively she could have been a granddaughter of Pierre [I] by his supposed first marriage or the descendant of another child of Ebles [III] Seigneur de Grandson. m secondly ISABELLE, daughter of ---. She is named in her husband’s [before 23] Nov 1299 testament cited above. Othon [I] & his first wife had [two] children:

i) JEAN [II] de Bonvillars ([1275?]-after 14 Sep 1334). His birth date is suggested based on the estimate birth dates of his father and older son. [Seigneur de Bonvillars]. “Johannes dictus de Binvilar domicellus, filius quondam domini Othonis de Binvilar militis” swore allegiance to Rodolphe [IV] Comte de Neuchâtel for numerous specified fiefs by charter dated 15 May 1312[851]. He consented to the 7 Feb 1325 (O.S.?) charter of his son Othon. “John de Bono Villario” was executor of the testament of Othon de Grandson: an order dated 14 Sep 1334, a grant to “Peter de Grandissono”, recited that (1) Edward I had “by charter granted...Gerneseye and Jerseye...to Oto de Grandissono, for his life, and to the executors of his will for five years after his death”, that (2) “Oto bequeathed the same to the said Peter and Oto his brother, the testator’s kinsman” who (3) had presented their petition “in the fourth year of the king’s reign to have the islands” which was granted, that (4) they then “released their estate in the same islands” and (5) the king “with the assent of the council and of John de Bono Villario, executor of the said will” granted specified compensation[852]. m ---. The name of Jean [II]’s wife is not known. Jean [II] & his wife had two children:

(1) OTHON [II] de Bonvillars ([before 1300?]-[before 10 Jun 1359?]). His birth date is estimated on the assumption that he was an adult at the time of the following document. A charter dated 7 Feb 1325 (O.S.?) records that “Othonin de Binvilar donzelz”, with the consent of “Jehan de Binvilar mon pere, Willeme mon frere fil doudit Jehan mon pere”, accepted property in fief from “Looys de Nuefchastel mon...seignour, fil de...Roufz, conte et seignour de Nuefchastel”[853]. A second testament of “Loys, cons et sires de Nuefchastel”, dated 10 Jun 1359, discusses the recovery “le heritage ensamble les issues que Othenin de Binvillart tenoit en fie de moy en la terre de Gransson...”[854]. It is assumed that this document refers to Othon [II], although “tenoit” suggests that he no longer held the fief in question and therefore may have been deceased at the time.

(2) GUILLAUME de Bonvillars . A charter dated 7 Feb 1325 (O.S.?) records that “Othonin de Binvilar donzelz”, with the consent of “Jehan de Binvilar mon pere, Willeme mon frere fil doudit Jehan mon pere”, accepted property in fief from “Looys de Nuefchastel mon...seignour, fil de...Roufz, conte et seignour de Nuefchastel”[855].

ii) [GUILLAUME de Bonvillars (-after 1326). As noted above, Williams suggests that the cleric Guillaume de Bonvillars, “nepos” of Othon de Grandson, was the son of Othon [I] de Bonvillars[856]. Canon and Provost at Lausanne Cathedral: an indult of Pope Clement V dated 8 Sep 1308 names “Ottonis domini de Grandisono...nepoti eius Guillelmo...de Bonovilerio canonico et preposito ecclesie Lausanen.”[857]. Kingsford records that Guillaume de Bonvillars “was prebendary of Coringham, Lincoln, 1324-6”[858]. A letter, included in a later copy of the early 14th century manuscript “Richard de Bury’s Letter Book”, from “William de Cusancia” to Henry Bishop of Lincoln requests permission for the exchange of offices between “William de Stanyaco, prebendary of Coringham in the church of Lincoln” and “William de Bono Vilario, the writer’s cousin, provost of the church Lausanensis”, in which he states that the former is “nephew of Lord Otho de Grandison”[859].]

Othon [I] & his [first/second] wife had [one child]:

iii) [JEAN de Bonvillars (-after 6 Mar 1318). The primary source which confirms Jean’s parentage has not been identified. Kingsford names Jean de Bonvillars “a nephew of Otho de Grandison, who in 1305 obtained for him a dispensation to hold the living of Middleton, Yorkshire, besides benefices in the diocese of Lausanne”[860]. The document cited by Kingsford is the following 1309 (not 1305) order which makes no reference to any Grandson family relationship: by order dated “XII Kal Sep” [21 Aug] 1309 “John de Bonovillari, clerk of Odo de Grandison, knight, holds, besides benefices in Lausanne and elsewhere the parish of Middilton super valle, in the diocese of York”[861]. No other document has been found which confirms Jean’s relationship with the Grandson family. Until further information comes to light, Jean is placed as Othon [I]’s possible son although this means that Othon would have had two sons named Jean, one explanation being that the two sons were born from different marriages. If that is correct, the second Jean would presumably not have been a “nephew” of Othon de Grandson. An order dated 6 May 1315 records “Peter de Coneway, going beyond the seas on certain matters touching Otto de Grandisono” naming “John de Bono Vilario his attorney for two years”[862], while an order dated 6 Mar 1318 records “Gerard de Orum, going beyond the seas” naming “Gerard de Cusancia his attorney for one year” and noting that “the said Gerard has letters nominating John de Bonovillario clerk, and Tottus de Monte Claro his attorneys as above”[863]. Kingsford identifies Jean as the executor of Othon de Grandson’s testament[864], but the only reference yet found to this testament names “John de Bono Villario, executor of the said will”, without noting his clerical or ecclesiastical position, which suggests that the executor was Jean [II] who is named above.]

E. SEIGNEURS de COSSONAY, SEIGNEURS de PRANGINS

This section has been reviewed, corrected and supplemented, where indicated below, by David Williams whose help has been invaluable.

Cossonay is located on the north-western outskirts of Penthalaz, about 5 kilometres south of La Sarraz, about 15 kilometres north-west of Lausanne, in the present-day Swiss canton of Vaud. Charrière records that the castle of Cossonay was situated at the north-east of the town near the church of Saint-Paul, noting that it was still mentioned in records dated 1531 and 1666[865]. Members of the high nobility, and one of the most ancient lineages of the Pays de Vaud, the first known family was Ulric who possessed the castle and church of Cossonay and controlled a clientele of vassal knights. As noted below, he donated the parish church of Saints Pierre and Paul to the Cluniac priory of Romainmôtier. In 1224, the church passed to the Benedictine priory of Lutry, which then constructed a sub-priory at Cossonay[866]. The senior branch of Cossonay became extinct in the male line when Louis [III] de Cossonay died in [1394/95].

The family also held the seigneuries of Prangins and Nyon from the time of Ulric’s son Humbert [I]. Prangins is located on the western shore of Lake Geneva, about 40 kilometres south-west of Lausanne, on the northern outskirts of Nyon, also in the Swiss canton of Vaud. The Prangins seigneurie, originally been formed from parts of the old county of Equestres, comprised the castles and seigneuries of Prangins, Nyon, Dudes, Mont-le-Vieux, Bioley and Bursins[867]. The geographical distance between Cossonay and Prangins suggests that the latter passed to the Cossonay family by marriage in an earlier generation than is shown below. The family members were recorded in primary sources indifferently as “de Cossonay” or “de Prangins” until the division of territories between the sons of Jean [I] in [1230/32], when the family branched into the lines of Cossonay, Prangins, L’Isle, Bercher and Surpierre. Suzerainty of the Prangins seigneurie was partitioned end-1292 between Amédée V Comte de Savoie and his brother Louis [I] Baron de Vaud[868].

Three brothers, parents not identified:

1. ULRIC de Cossonay (-after May 1096). “Vldricus de Cochoniaco” donated “ecclesiam de Cochoniaco…inter Venobiam et Alburiam [between the rivers Venoge and Alburie, the latter probably a small affluent of the river Veyron[869]] et fundata in proprio alodio meo”, including “decimas proprii laboris mei et matris mee...et usum aque Venobie in quantum mea potestas et domni Cononis cognati mei de Bansins [Bassins] est”, to Romainmôtier, with the support of “uxore mea Sophia et filiis meis Willelmo et Vmberto et fratribus meis Siybaldo et Willelmo...Cono de Bansins [Bassins] consanguineus meus”, by charter dated May 1096[870]. m SOPHIE, daughter of ---. She is named in her husband’s May 1096 charter quoted above. Ulric & his wife had two children:

a) GUILLAUME de Cossonay (-after May 1096). He is named in his father’s May 1096 charter quoted above but presumably predeceased his father.

b) HUMBERT [I] de Cossonay [de Prangins] (-[1147/1154]). He is named in his father’s May 1096 charter quoted above. An undated charter records that “Humbertus de Goiles” [probably Les Golliez, Eclépens; otherwise the river Goille, Corcelles-le-Jorat, or possibly Gollion, Cossonay[871]] donated a serf to Romainmôtier and that later “Humbertus de Coconiaco” challenged the donation, before confirming it[872]. An undated charter, dated to [1130], records the appointment of “Humberto de Prangins” to arbitrate a dispute between the convents of Romainmôtier and Aulps concerning a donation made by “Vtto miles de Esclepens” [Eclépens][873]. “Vmbertus de Preingins” requested “Agaunensis ecclesiam [abbey of Saint-Maurice d’Agaune] supplex...et canonicos eiusdem ecclesie” to grant property “in Lustricao et in villa...Erans” [Lutry, Aran], previously held by “antecessores uxoris sue per prestariam”, to him “et uxori sue...Berthe et...ex filiis suis...Guillelmo”, which was accepted by “prior...Hugo...et canonici et Amedeus de Blonay advocatus”, by charter dated 23 Jun 1142, witnessed by “...Petrus de Cossonai, Willelmus Drogo de Colonai [Cossonay, in another copy]...Falco vicedominus de Sto Mauritio, Umbertus frater eius...”[874]. Amédée Bishop of Lausanne confirmed donations to Théla, including “Alaricus de Vilario-comitis et Cono frater eius” donating “partem de Conestun” [Villars-Aillerens, Conestun[875]] with the consent of “Humberto de Consonai et...uxore filiis et filiabus ipsius Humberti”, by charter dated 1147[876]. Humbert presumably died before 1154, the date of the charter in which two of his sons are named. m BERTHE, daughter of --- (-after 1154). She is named in her husband’s 23 Jun 1142 charter which also provides an indication of property held by her family. She is also referred to, but not named, in his 1147 charter and in the 1154 charter cited below. Humbert [I] & his wife had [five or more] children:

i) PIERRE de Cossonay [de Prangins] (-8 Jun, after 1189). Seigneur de Prangins. “Petrus dominus de Prengins” confirmed the donation of “grangiam de Clarens” made to Romainmôtier by “pater meus Humbertus et mater mea” and added his own donation “in Montelatiano”, for the souls of “patris mei et matris mee et Giroldi f---“, by charter dated 1164[877].

- see below.

ii) GUILLAUME de Cossonay (-after 23 Jun 1142). He is named in his father’s 23 Jun 1142 charter which presumably anticipated that Guillaume would inherit the properties in question, which suggests that he may have been his parents’ second son.

iii) GEROLD de Cossonay (-[1154/64]). Amédée Bishop of Lausanne confirmed donations to Théla, including “Domnus Petrus de Consonai, uxor quoque eius, frater etiam suus Geraudus, et mater” donating property “in territorio de Vilar-Aleran atque de Conestun” witnessed by “Petri Grossi de Consonai, Jordani fratris Petris...”, by charter dated 1154[878]. “Petrus dominus de Prengins” confirmed the donation of “grangiam de Clarens” made to Romainmôtier by “pater meus Humbertus et mater mea” and added his own donation “in Montelatiano” [Montlaçon[879]], for the souls of “patris mei et matris mee et Giroldi f---“, by charter dated 1164[880]. The missing word in the document was presumably “fratris”.

iv) two or more daughters . Their existence is confirmed by their father’s 1147 charter.

2. SIBALD de Cossonay . He is named in his brother’s May 1096 charter quoted above.

3. GUILLAUME de Cossonay . He is named in his brother’s May 1096 charter quoted above.

The connection, if any, between the following person and the main Cossonay line has not been ascertained. Charrière suggests that Guillaume’s father was one of the milites of Cossonay, suggesting that the title “domina” was accorded to his wife in the 1154 charter quoted below because her husband had been a knight[881]. The latter suggestion would represent an unusual use of the term “domina/dominus”, normally reserved for the “seigneur” or his wife/widow. It seems more likely that Guillaume’s father was a brother of Humbert [I] and that the two shared the seigneurie for a limited time: maybe Guillaume’s father died young, while Guillaume was still a child, and Humbert recovered control over the whole seigneurie.

1. --- de Cossonay (-before 1154). He presumably died before his son’s 1154 charter which names the latter’s mother. m INGLE, daughter of --- (-after 1154). She is named in her son’s 1154 charter quoted below. One child:

a) GUILLAUME de Cossonay (-after 1154). Amédée Bishop of Lausanne confirmed donations to Théla, including “Guillelmus de Escublens” donating “deserti iacentis ante portam ecclesie de Thela” with the consent of “...Guillielmus de Consonai filius domine Ingle”, by charter dated 1154[882]. The donation made be Pierre Seigneur de Cossonay (see above), referred to in the same document, includes the consent of “mater”, who presumably is identified as Berthe, wife of Humbert [I] (see above). This would suggest that Guillaume de Cossonay, also named in the 1154 document, was not Pierre’s brother. Charrière suggests that he was the same person as “Willelmus Drogo de Colonai” [“Cossonay” in another copy of the charter] who witnessed the 23 Jun 1142 charter quoted above under Humbert [I][883].

[Three] siblings, parents not identified. The 1095 charter cited below represents the first appearance of the castle of Fruence (13 kilometres north of Blonay), under the suzerainty of the seigneurs de Blonay, with whom the following family had a close relationship. The May 1096 charter quoted below indicates an undefined family relationship between Conon de Bassins and Ulric de Cossonay, named above, whether through the male or female line. Maybe their mother was a member of the Cossonay family. Their different names (Fruence/Bassins) suggest that they may have been uterine brothers, born to their mother from different fathers, although another possibility is that one parent was “Fruence” and another “Bassins”, which appears supported by both brothers Leutfroi/Lietfroid and Conon holding interests in the seigneurie de L’Isle (which was later held by the Cossonay family)[884]. If they were full brothers, either sons of a Fruence father and a Bassins mother, or vice versa, each may have inherited his property from a different parent. Based on the distinction between “cognatus” (which could indicate a relationship by marriage) and “consanguineus” (generally relationship by blood) in the 1096 charter, the Cossonay link may be explained if Conon married a member of the Cossonay family, which would have represented a valuable social alliance for the Bassins family (who did not belong to the high aristocracy) and an advantage to the Cossonays by bringing Bassins (a strategic zone in the neighbourhood of Prangins and Cossonay) into their mouvance[885]. Castelnuovo concluded that they were brothers-in-law[886].

1. LEUTFROI [Liefroid] de Fruence (-before 1095). A charter dated 1095 records the donation made by “Leifredus de castello...Freuuencia” of property in “Uillare...sub villa...Quarnens” [Villars-Bozon, Cuarnens] to Romainmôtier witnessed by “Cono qui dicitur Albus frater meus de Bassins...”, the subsequent challenge by “Burchardus nepos huius Litfredi, uidelicet Aolmarum et filio eius” and their confirmation of the donation, witnessed by “Walcherius filius donni Amedei...”[887].

2. [CONON “Albus” de Bassins (-after May 1096). A charter dated 1095 records the donation made by “Leifredus de castello...Freuuencia” of property in “Uillare...sub villa...Quarnens” [Villars-Bozon, Cuarnens] to Romainmôtier witnessed by “Cono qui dicitur Albus frater meus de Bassins...”[888]. “Vldricus de Cochoniaco” donated “ecclesiam de Cochoniaco…”, including “...usum aque Venobie [river Venobe] in quantum mea potestas et domni Cononis cognati mei de Bansins est”, to Romainmôtier, with the support of “...Cono de Bansins consanguineus meus”, by charter dated May 1096[889].]

3. --- . Burchard is named “nepos” of Leutfroi in the 1095 charter quoted below. From a chronological point of view, it seems unlikely that he was Leutfroi’s grandson given the May 1096 charter which names Leutfroi’s brother Conon. If that is correct, as Leutfroi’s nephew, one of his parents would have been Leutfroi’s sibling. Considering the discussion above4 about the precise family relationship between Leutfroi and Conon, Burchard would not necessarily have had a blood relationship with Conon. m ---. One child:

a) BURCHARD (-after 1095). A charter dated 1095 records the donation made by “Leifredus de castello...Freuuencia” of property in “Uillare...sub villa...Quarnens” [Villars-Bozon, Cuarnens] to Romainmôtier witnessed by “Cono qui dicitur Albus frater meus de Bassins...”, the subsequent challenge by “Burchardus nepos huius Litfredi, uidelicet Aolmarum et filio eius” and their confirmation of the donation, witnessed by “Walcherius filius donni Amedei...”[890].

PIERRE de Cossonay [de Prangins], son of HUMBERT [I] de Cossonay [de Prangins] & his wife [Berthe ---] (-8 Jun, after 1189). Seigneur de Prangins. Amédée Bishop of Lausanne confirmed donations to Théla, including “Domnus Petrus de Consonai, uxor quoque eius, frater etiam suus Geraudus, et mater” donating property “in territorio de Vilar-Aleran atque de Conestun” [Villars-Aillerens, Coneston] witnessed by “Petri Grossi de Consonai, Jordani fratris Petris...”, by charter dated 1154[891]. “Petrus dominus de Prengins” confirmed the donation of “grangiam de Clarens” made to Romainmôtier by “pater meus Humbertus et mater mea” and added his own donation “in Montelatiano”, for the souls of “patris mei et matris mee et Giroldi f---“, by charter dated 1164[892]. Seigneur de Cossonay. “Pierre li dont de Cossonay” witnessed the 1184 charter under which “Uldric de Gumens...” [Gumoëns] donated property to Théla[893]. “Petrus dominus de Pringins et Johannes filius eius” approved the donation of “vineas de Balgels” [Bougel] made to Bonmont by “Stephanus filius Marconis de Beria...” [Etienne de Bière] by charter dated 1189[894]. The necrology of Lausanne records the death 8 Jun of “Pe. donnus de Cossonay” and his donation of “census apud Penthalla...apud Eschichens” [Penthalez, Echichens][895].

m (before 1154) ---. She is referred to, but not named, in the 1154 charter quoted above. Charrière suggests that she was “Mabilie, l’une des deux filles et héritières de Vaucher, sire de Divonne, le fondateur de l’abbaye de Bonmont”, noting that Mabile’s husband was named Pierre in a charter dated 1131 which records her father’s donation to Bonmont, while admitting that the date seems early for Pierre de Cossonay to have been married[896]. Williams notes Gaucher de Divonne and his brother Etienne donating property to Bonmont in 1123, and their successors Pierre (1154), Humbert (1172) and Hugues (1218)[897].

Pierre & his wife had [three] children:

1. JEAN [I] de Cossonay [de Prangins] (-[19 Mar 1230/23 Jan 1232]). “Petrus dominus de Pringins et Johannes filius eius” approved the donation of “vineas de Balgels” [Bougel] made to Bonmont by “Stephanus filius Marconis de Beria...” [Etienne de Bière] by charter dated 1189[898]. Seigneur de Prangins. “Johannes dominus de Prengins” confirmed donations made to Saint-Oyens, Divonne and Nyon by “Humbertus avus meus” by undated charter[899]. Seigneur de Cossonay. “Johannes dominus de Gosonay” confirmed the donation made by “Guillermus et Narduinus...Ferrelli...” to Bonmont by charter dated Feb 1202 (O.S.)[900]. “Dominus Johannes de Pringins” reached agreement with Bonmont concerning mutual rights, with the consent of “uxore sua Agna et filio suo Humberto”, by charter dated 1204[901]. “Johannes dominus de Pringins” confirmed the donation to Bonmont made by “Anselmus et Vmbertus milites de Grailie...” [Grailly/Grilly, Pays de Gex, dependency of the seigneurie de Prangins[902]] by charter dated 1214[903]. “Johannes dominus de Pringins” donated property to Bonmont, for the salvation of the souls of “mee et uxoris mee A. et filiorum ac filiarum mearum”, with the consent of “A. uxor mea, H., J. et W. filii mei et E. filia mea”, by charter dated Apr 1218[904]. “Iohannes donnus de Cossonaj” confirmed that “Petrus donnus pater suus” had donated property to Lausanne Notre-Dame “pro Isabella filia sua” by charter dated 28 May 1219[905]. “Johannes dominus de Prengins” donated land “iuxta Memorei” to Oujon, with the consent of “uxor mea Agnes et filii mei Humbertus et Guillelmus”, by charter dated 1 Jul 1225[906]. Amédée Seigneur de Gex and Jean Seigneur de Prangins guaranteed a transfer made by Guillaume de Vesency to Bonmont by charter dated 22 Feb 1225 (O.S.)[907]. Jean Seigneur de Prangins and his sons Humbert, Jean canon at Lausanne, and Guillaume donated water for the mill at Suaz to Saint-Maire de Lausanne by charter dated 1226[908]. “Johannes donnus Cossoniaci” notified his agreement with Lausanne Saint-Maire, with the consent of “A(gnetis) uxoris nostre et V(mberti) et W(illelmi) et A(medei) filiorum nostrorum”, by charter dated 19 Mar 1229 (O.S.)[909]. Jean presumably died before 23 Jan 1231 (O.S.), the date of his son’s charter quoted below. m AGNES, daughter of --- (-11 Dec, after 1235). “Dominus Johannes de Pringins” reached agreement with Bonmont concerning mutual rights, with the consent of “uxore sua Agna et filio suo Humberto”, by charter dated 1204[910]. “Johannes dominus de Pringins” donated property to Bonmont, for the salvation of the souls of “mee et uxoris mee A. et filiorum ac filiarum mearum”, with the consent of “A. uxor mea, H., J. et W. filii mei et E. filia mea”, by charter dated Apr 1218[911]. “Johannes dominus de Prengins” donated land “iuxta Memorei” to Oujon, with the consent of “uxor mea Agnes et filii mei Humbertus et Guillelmus”, by charter dated 1 Jul 1225[912]. “Johannes donnus Cossoniaci” notified his agreement with Lausanne Saint-Maire, with the consent of “A(gnetis) uxoris nostre et V(mberti) et W(illelmi) et A(medei) filiorum nostrorum”, by charter dated 19 Mar 1229 (O.S.)[913]. “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.)[914]. The necrology of Gruyères Saint-Théodule records the death “III Id Dec” of “Agnes domina de Cossonay”[915]. Charrière suggests that the entry implies a connection with the comital family of Gruyère and indicates that Agnes may have been a younger daughter of Rodolphe [I] Comte de Gruyère & his wife Agnes de Glâne[916]. However, if that is correct, it is surprising that neither Rodolphe’s name nor that of his father-in-law Pierre de Glâne is found among Jean’s known descendants. Jean [I] & his wife had [six or more] children:

a) HUMBERT [II] de Cossonay (-26 Aug ----, [Apr 1252/Feb 1256]). “Dominus Johannes de Pringins” reached agreement with Bonmont concerning mutual rights, with the consent of “uxore sua Agna et filio suo Humberto”, by charter dated 1204[917]. Seigneur de Cossonay.

Bishop of Lausanne 1240: Jean de Cossonay was elected bishop by a minority of the chapter of Lausanne Apr 1240, in oppposition to Philippe de Savoie, elected by a majority: his election was approved by Pope Gregory IX, the dispute being settled by the ephemeral peace of Port-de-Pully 20 Apr 1240[921]. Other peace settlements were agreed in 1244, and 27 Apr 1253 (after a war with Aymon de Faucigny), 27 May 1260 (weekly market at Yverdon)[922]. Jean Bishop of Lausanne granted half the temporal jurisdiction over the town of Lausanne for life to “consanguinei nostri...domini Petri de Sabaudia” by charter dated 10 Aug 1260[923].

c) GUILLAUME de Cossonay (-[13/16] Sep 1267). “Johannes dominus de Pringins” donated property to Bonmont, for the salvation of the souls of “mee et uxoris mee A. et filiorum ac filiarum mearum”, with the consent of “A. uxor mea, H., J. et W. filii mei et E. filia mea”, by charter dated Apr 1218[924].

The necrology of Lausanne records the death 1 Jun of “Amedeus de Cossonay clericus frater Joannis de Cossonay cantoris Laus.” for whom and for “patre suo Johanne donno de Cossonay idem cantor de consensu fratrum suorum” donated harvest[927]. Charrière dates Amédée’s death to before 1238, when the earliest version of the Lausanne necrology was written[928].

e) E--- de Cossonay (-after Apr 1218). “Johannes dominus de Pringins” donated property to Bonmont, for the salvation of the souls of “mee et uxoris mee A. et filiorum ac filiarum mearum”, with the consent of “A. uxor mea, H., J. et W. filii mei et E. filia mea”, by charter dated Apr 1218[929].

f) one or more daughters . Her/their existence is confirmed by the Apr 1218 charter quoted above.

2. ISABELLE de Cossonay . Charrière records her parentage and marriage[930]. The following document shows that Isabelle predeceased her father: “Iohannes donnus de Cossonaj” confirmed that “Petrus donnus pater suus” had donated property to Lausanne Notre-Dame “pro Isabella filia sua” by charter dated 28 May 1219[931]. m PIERRE co-Seigneur d’Estavayer, son of NICOD co-Seigneur d’Estavayer & his wife --- (-before 1222).

3. [--- (-after [1194]). Charrière records her marriage and suggests her parentage based on the following document[932]: “Huo vir nobilis Grandissoni” donated property “et duas partes decime eiusdem terre...inter...Fyx usque ad Ysernum...” to Hautcrèt, with the support of “uxor eius in castro de Pringis, in aula domini Petri”, by charter dated 1179, witnessed by “...Jacomed [Johannes?] filius domni Petri de Cossonay...Postea filius eius minor...Walcherus laudavit apud Bonum montem...”[933]. Williams suggests that her appearance “in...Pringis, in aula domini Petris” suggests that her possible parentage as shown here is correct[934]. She is referred to, but not named in her husband’s [1194] charter. m HUON Seigneur de Grandson, son of --- (-[1194/1213]).]

HUMBERT [II] de Cossonay, son of JEAN [I] de Cossonay & his wife Agnes --- (-26 Aug ----, [Apr 1252/Feb 1256]). “Dominus Johannes de Pringins” reached agreement with Bonmont concerning mutual rights, with the consent of “uxore sua Agna et filio suo Humberto”, by charter dated 1204[935]. “Johannes dominus de Pringins” donated property to Bonmont, for the salvation of the souls of “mee et uxoris mee A. et filiorum ac filiarum mearum”, with the consent of “A. uxor mea, H., J. et W. filii mei et E. filia mea”, by charter dated Apr 1218[936]. “Johannes dominus de Prengins” donated land “iuxta Memorei” to Oujon, with the consent of “uxor mea Agnes et filii mei Humbertus et Guillelmus”, by charter dated 1 Jul 1225[937].

Jean Bishop of Lausanne and “Amadeus de Monfaucon” guaranteed the homage sworn by “domnus de Cossonay” to “domino Petro de Sabaudia” by charter dated May 1244[944]. “Humbertus dominus de Cossonay” swore homage to Guillaume Archbishop of Besançon for “in feudum...Nyons et villam...Pormantor...” by charter dated 11 Jun 1246[945]. “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[946]. “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.)[947]. “Reynaldus et Willermus clericus et Johannes fratres condomini de Estavaye” [Estavayer] settled a dispute with “Girardum et Lambertum fratres de Corgie [Gorgier] domicellos et Johannem nepotem eorundem”, naming “H. dominus de Cossonay...” among the guarantors, by charter dated Apr 1252[948]. He is named as deceased in the Feb 1255 (O.S.) charter of his son Jacques. The necrology of Lausanne records the death 26 Aug of “Humbertus dns de Cossonay” and his donation[949].

m CONTESSON, daughter of [RICHARD [III] de Montfaucon Comte de Montbéliard & his wife Agnes d’Auxonne [Bourgogne-Comté]] (-before Feb 1251). “Willelmus dominus de Prengins” donated “partem meam decimarum de Britinie, de Marchisie et de Vizo” [Burtigny, Marchissy, Vich] 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.?)[950]. “Humbertus donnus de Cossonai” donated “decime de Baumes [Baulmes] de sub Suprapetram [Surpierre FR]” to Lausanne Saint-Maire, with the consent of “Comitisse uxoris nostre, filiorum et filiarum nostrorum”, by charter dated 1 Aug 1246[951]. She is named as deceased in her husband’s Feb 1250 (O.S.) charter, which also indicates her family origin. 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[952].

Humbert [II] & his wife had [four or more] children:

1. JEAN [II] de Cossonay (-[after 1244, maybe after 29 Jun 1250, or later?]). “Willelmus dominus de Prengins” donated “partem meam decimarum de Britinie, de Marchisie et de Vizo” [Burtigny, Marchissy, Vich] 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.)[953]. The Feb 1255 (O.S.) charter quoted below under his brother Jacques indicates that Jean [II] was excluded from their father’s succession. No indication has been found of the cause of the original dispute, or whether the event occurred before or after their father’s death. The continuing disputed succession to Cossonay is indicated by the charter dated 15 Oct 1267 which records that “Cono dictus Ferrens, de Pentala...” [Conon Ferrers de Penthalaz] donated property to Bonmont promising to have the donation ratified “propter quam in castro et dominio de Cossonai fuerit dominus stabilis et firmus”[954]. Charrière speculates that Jean [II] was displaced by his brother Jacques, with the support of Pierre Comte de Savoie, that Jean took part in the rebellion against Pierre who was defeated at Chillon (1244[955], which Charrière wrongly dates to 1266), and that the brothers’ uncle Jean de Cossonay Bishop of Lausanne claimed the seigneurie de Cossonay from Jacques, noting that these speculations remain in part unproven by contemporary documentation[956]. No definite reference has been found to Jean [II] after his supposed involvement in the 1244 rebellion. [“Willelmus comes Gebenensis et Rodulphus filius eius” notified “fideli suo filio domini de Cossonay” that he was henceforth the vassal of “domino Petro de Sabaudia”, in respect of fiefs “inter Aruam et Drancum ex parte orientali lacus gebenensis et inter clusam de Iayz et pontem de Barges ex altera parte eiusdem lacus” with specified exceptions, by charter dated 29 Jun 1250[957]. As noted below under Jean’s brother Jacques, Wurstemberger reproduced this document differently naming the addressee “domino Jacobo de Cossonay”[958]. As the original charter does not name “filio domini de Cossonay”, the phrase could refer either to Jean [II] or Jacques. Andenmatten suggests it refers to Jean [II], the war between the brothers maybe explaining the imprecise language[959], but as noted in this paragraph no other document has been identified which confirms that Jean was alive at that date. Another possibility is that Jacques was the only son who was alive or not exiled at the time, leaving no room for doubt if his name was omitted.] [A series of later documents has been attributed to Jean [II], particularly by Charrière. Williams suggests that all these documents refer more probably to Jean de Cossonay-Prangins, son of Guillaume de Prangins, from the junior branch of the family (see below), highlighting in particular that Commugny (the subject of the 22 Sep 1264 and 27 Sep 1274 documents) is located near Nyon and Prangins, both seigneuries of the Cossonay-Prangins branch, as was Bioley cited in the 10 Mar 1284 (O.S.) document[960]. “Johannes dominus de Cossonay et de Prangins et filii eius” declared having no right “in domo de Cuminiaco” [Commugny], acquired by Pierre Comte de Savoie, by charter dated 22 Sep 1264[961]. It is uncertain whether this charter is misdated and in fact reflects the 27 Sep 1274 charter quoted below. “Johannes dominus Cossoniaci et filii sui” acknowledged having no claim over “in domo Cumuniaci” [Commugny] by charter dated 27 Sep 1274[962]. “Jean sire de Cossonay” enlarged the fief of “donzel Jacques, fils du donzel Jean de Senarclens” by charter dated 1279, Charrière suggesting that the document relates to Jean [III] (see below)[963], which does not explain the apparent absence from the document of Jordane, mother and guardian of Jean [III] who was young at the time. Charrière suggests that the following document relates to Jean [II][964]: “Johannes dominus de Prengins...et liberos suos” swore homage to Rudolf King of Germany for “castrum suum de Byole...et castellaniam de Prengins” by charter dated “sabbato ante festum beati Gregorii” 10 Mar 1284 (O.S.)[965]. He bases his argument on the supposition that Jean de Cossonay Seigneur de Prangins was deceased at the time, but as will be seen below this is not certain.] Williams suggests that Jean’s disappearance from the records in the Pays de Vaud may be explained because he went to England, where references have been found to persons named Cossonay who were possibly Jean’s sons[966].

2. JACQUES de Cossonay (-[before May 1274]). “...Jacobo filio Humberti de Cossonay” witnessed the Jan 1250 (O.S.) charter under which “Rodolphus de Roa” [Rodolphe de Rue, another previous opponent of Pierre de Savoie and ally of Cossonay and Genevois[967]] swore allegiance to Pierre Comte de Savoie[968]. [“Willelmus comes Gebenensis et Rodulphus filius eius” notified “fideli suo filio domini de Cossonay” that he was henceforth the vassal of “domino Petro de Sabaudia”, in respect of fiefs “inter Aruam et Drancum ex parte orientali lacus gebenensis et inter clusam de Iayz et pontem de Barges ex altera parte eiusdem lacus” with specified exceptions, by charter dated 29 Jun 1250[969]. This document has been reproduced differently by Wurstemberger: Guillaume [II] Comte de Genève and his son Rodolphe instructed “domino Jacobo de Cossonay” to swear homage to Pierre Comte de Savoie for fiefs he held from “Comite Gebennensi...omnium feodorum sibi competentium inter flumina Arve et Drancie, ex oriente lacus Gebennensis, et inter Clusam de Jaix et pontem de Barges” because of the hypothecation given by Comte Pierre, by charter dated 29 Jun 1250[970]. As the original charter does not name the “filio domini de Cossonay”, the phrase could refer either to Jean [II] or Jacques: Andenmatten suggests it refers to Jean [II], the war between the brothers maybe explaining the imprecise language[971], but as noted above no other document has been identified which confirms that Jean was alive at that date. Another possibility is that Jacques was the only son who was alive or not exiled at the time, leaving no room for doubt if his name was omitted.] Jacques became Seigneur de Cossonay after his father died, presumably with continuing support from Comte Pierre as shown by the following document: “Jacobus filius et heres bone memorie Humberti domini de Cossonay” swore homage to Pierre Comte de Savoie for “feudum...in mandamento...de Cossonay...in villa de Pentala [et] in villa de Bremblems” by charter dated Feb 1255 (O.S.)[972]. A charter dated 27 Feb 1260 (O.S.) records an arbitral judgment between the chapter of Lausanne and “Jacobum dominum de Cossonay” concerning “terris...de Payri, Nars, Warnerens, Sugnyens” [Peyres, Naz, Vuarmerens, Sugnens][973]. “Jaquetus dominus de Cossennay” confirmed his allegiance to Pierre Comte de Savoie for “castrum et villam de Cossenay” by charter dated 29 Jun 1271[974]. “Jaquet seigneur de Cossonay” promised to submit to the judgment of Philippe Comte de Savoie in all matters, in particular those concerning the bishop of Lausanne, by charter dated 7 Jul 1271[975]. Guy de Chablie acknowledged the suzerainty of “Jacques seigneur de Cossonay” in respect of his fiefs by charter dated Dec 1272[976]. Jacques’s wife was first named without him in the May 1274 charter cited below, which suggests that he was deceased at the time. [Several documents, apparently dated subsequently appear to contradict this suggestion. Williams highlights that these documents have been dated in the catalogue according to the dates mentioned in the texts, which presumably may not be the dates on which they were issued. Other possibilities include “Jacques” representing a scribal error for his son Jean [III] or the catalogue dating being based on a misidentification or other error at the time of transcription[977]. Raimond Ros de Rivirole acknowledged the suzerainty of “Jacques seigneur de Cossonay” in respect of certain properties by charter which refers to services rendered in Dec 1275[978]. “Nicolas fils de feu Vaultier et Etienne fils de Girard de Disy” acknowledged the suzerainty of “Jacques seigneur de Cossonay” in respect of their fiefs held in Jan 1277 (O.S.)[979]. “Jean de Siviriez” [Sévery] acknowledged holding various revenues from “Jacques seigneur de Cossonay” by charter dated 12 May 1280[980].] m ([1266/67] or after) as her second husband, JORDANE de Champvent, widow of GIROLD [II] de la Tour, daughter of HENRI [I] de Grandson Seigneur de Champvent & his wife --- (-30 Mar [1297/1303], bur Lausanne Notre-Dame). For discussion about her first marriage, follow her hyperlink. It should be noted that no document has been found which names Jordane’s second husband. While his identity is implied by the Cossonay documents in which she and her son are named, it is not claimed that his identity is more than a reasonable conjecture on the basis of the available circumstantial evidence and the conclusions of earlier scholarship. “Jordana domina de Cosonay...” witnessed the charter dated May 1274 under which “Petrus dictus pans de Grancie domicellus” relinquished rights in “decima Sti Petri...in villa...Sonarclens” [Senarclens] in favour of Romainmôtier[981]. “Jordane dame de Cossonay, du consentement de Jean son fils” granted certain properties to “Pierre d’Ecublens” by charter dated 6 Jul 1276[982]. “Jordana dna de Cosonay...” witnessed the charter dated Aug 1277 under which “Perreta relicta Willelmi de Rota [de Rue] burg. de Cosonay, Humbertus, Henricus, Jacobus et Jordana eiusdem filii” sold property in “Monte la Vila” to Romainmôtier[983]. “Perrinus filius quondam Aubertet de Cossonay” sold property “in vila...Monte Vila” [Mont-la-Ville] to Romainmôtier, with the consent of “Perrete uxoris mee”, by charter dated Feb 1277 (O.S.), witnessed by “Jordana dna de Cosonay...”[984]. “Jordane dame de Cossonay” enfeoffed “Jean et Pierre, fils de Pierre de Senarclens” with certain properties by charter dated Dec 1278[985]. A judgment dated 1279 confirmed the jurisdictional rights of “Jordane dame de Cossonay et vidomne d’Ollon” in criminal prosecutions[986]. A charter dated Apr 1279 records an agreement between “Jordane dame de Cossonay, Jean son fils” and “Jean de Cossonay dit Senarclens” regarding the fiefs of the latter[987]. “Jordana domina de Cossennay et Johannes filius eius dominus eiusdem loci” confirmed the donation of “decimam suam de Chiblie” [Chibliez] made to Cossonay priory by “domini de Cossonay, predecessores nostri” by charter dated Nov 1282[988]. “Jordane dame de Cossonay et Jean son fils seigneur de ce lieu” mortgaged “leurs dîmes de Thierrens, de Correvon, d’Ogens, de Glatigny...” to the chapter of Lausanne by charter dated May 1292[989]. A charter dated Jan 1292 (O.S.) records an exchange between “Pierre d’Allyens” and “Jordane dame de Cossonay et Jean son fils”[990]. A charter dated 4 Apr/23 May 1297 records an arbitral judgment between Saint-Maurice and “Jordanam dominam de Cossonay et Aymonem de Greisie [Greisy] domicellum tutoris...Alexie, Beatricis, Ysabelle et Jaquete filiarum ipsius Ay(monis) ac Francisci filii eiusdem Ay(monis)” concerning “vicedominatum de Oluns”[991]. The necrology of Lausanne Cathedral records the death 30 Mar of “dna Jordana de Chanuent mater dni Johannis dni de Cossonay”[992]. Jacques & his wife had one child:

a) JEAN [III] de Cossonay ([after 1266/67]-[Feb 1304/Jun 1306]). No primary source has been identified which confirms the name of Jean [III]’s father, although it is difficult to identify an alternative to Jacques considering the absence from the sources of Jacques’s brother Jean [II] as discussed above. Seigneur de Cossonay. “Jordane dame de Cossonay, du consentement de Jean son fils” granted certain properties to “Pierre d’Ecublens” by charter dated 6 Jul 1276[993]. “Pierre d’Ecublens” sold property “au territoire d’Arens” to “Jean seigneur de Cossonay” by charter dated Mar 1280 (O.S.)[994]. “Jordana domina de Cossennay et Johannes filius eius dominus eiusdem loci” confirmed the donation of “decimam suam de Chiblie” [Chibliez] made to Cossonay priory by “domini de Cossonay, predecessores nostri” by charter dated Nov 1282[995]. “Jean dit Mont” swore homage to “Jean seigneur de Cossonay” for various properties “au territoire de Bière” by charter dated 1286[996]. “Pierre Sénéchal de Rue” sold property to “Jean seigneur de Cossonay” by charter dated Feb 1288 (O.S.)[997]. A charter dated 10 Aug 1291 names “...Johannem dominum de Cossonay...” as guarantors for Amédée V Comte de Savoie in his agreement with representatives of Bern[998]. “Jordane dame de Cossonay et Jean son fils seigneur de ce lieu” mortgaged “leurs dîmes de Thierrens, de Correvon, d’Ogens, de Glatigny...” to the chapter of Lausanne by charter dated May 1292[999]. A charter dated Dec 1292 records a treaty between “Johannes dominus de Cossonay” and “Johannes dominus de Sarrata”[1000]. A charter dated Jan 1292 (O.S.) records an exchange between “Pierre d’Allyens” and “Jordane dame de Cossonay et Jean son fils”[1001]. A charter dated 21 Oct 1297 records the renewal of the peace agreed between “dominum Willermum episcopum, Humbertum dominum de Villars, et dominum de Cossonay” and “dominum Ludovicum de Sabaudia dominum Vaudi”[1002], which presumably links to the undated incomplete document, probably dated to 1297, which records a peace proposal between “dominum Lodouicum de Sabaudia” [Seigneur de Vaud] and “Johannem dominum de Cossonay”, listing the latter’s rights over various fiefs which he would hold from the former[1003]. A charter dated 5 Jul 1300 records the final peace agreement between Guillaume Bishop of Lausanne and Louis de Savoie Seigneur de Vaud and between the latter and certain fiefholders including “...les segnours...de Cossonay...Jehant de Cossonay”[1004]. The testament of “Guillaume de Champvent évêque de Lausanne”, dated 20 May 1301, named as executors “...Otton de Champvent son frère, Jean seigneur de Cossonay son neveu...”[1005]. “Jean de Cinquenove” granted his property in the dioceses of Lausanne and Constance to “Jean seigneur de Cossonay son cousin” by charter dated Jul 1302[1006]. The precise family relationship between the two persons named has notbeen ascertained. “Guillaume fils de feu Hugon dit de la Dorier” declared himself “homme taillabel de Jean seigneur de Cossonay” by charter dated Feb 1303 (O.S.)[1007]. By charter dated Jun 1306, “Petrus prior de Cossonay et Girardus de Chessaux, vicarius dicti loci” noted the seals of “nobilis viri domini Johannis quondam domini de Cossonay...[et] curie Lausannensis” on the following document: “Johannes dominus de Cossonay domicellus” acknowledged owing money to “Henrico monaco consanguineo meo” by charter dated May 1302[1008]. The family name of “Henrico monaco” is not specified: guessing his precise connection to the Cossonay family is futile. m ([1285?], Papal dispensation 26 Jan 1286) as her first husband, MARGUERITE de Thoire et Villars, daughter of HUMBERT [III] Seigneur de Thoire et Villars & his first wife Marguerite --- (-after 5 Apr 1315). Her parentage is confirmed by the Jul 1308 charter quoted below which names her brother Humbert (assuming that he was “sire d’Aubonne”, which has not otherwise been confirmed). Pope Honorius IV granted a late dispensation for the marriage of “Johannis de Cossonay” and “Margaretæ de Villariis” despite their 4^o consanguinity, noting that the couple had been ignorant of their family relationship, dated 26 Jan 1286[1009]. Considering the likely date of her husband’s birth, it is unlikely that the couple were married much before the date of the dispensation. Charrière suggests that their consanguinity may have been through the comital family of Burgundy[1010]. “Margareta de Vilars domina de Cossonay, Humbertus et Ludouicus filii dicte Margarete ac...Johannis quondam domini de Cossonay” donated revenue to Lac-de-Joux, for the anniversary of “mariti nostri quondam...patris nostri”, by charter dated Dec 1306[1011]. Marguerite de Thoire et Villars dame de Cossonay donated property to Cossonay priory, for the souls of “feu son mari Jean seigneur de Cossonay et feue Jordane mère du dit seigneur”, by charter dated Feb 1306 (O.S.)[1012]. “Marguerite de Thoire et Villars veuve du...sire Jean et Louis seigneur de Cossonay leur fils” granted the right to construct a castle “dans la paroisse de Vuillerens” to “Pierre de Duin” by charter dated Jul 1308, sealed by “Marguerite de Villars...son frère Humbert sire d’Aubonne...”[1013]. She married secondly as his second wife, Aymon de la Palud Seigneur de Varambon. “Humbert Louis et Aymon fils de Jean seigneur de Cossonay” sold revenue from their castles of Cossonay, Berchier, L’Isle and Luins to “Otton seigneur de Grandson” to pay “Marguerite leur mère, mariée en secondes noces à Aymon de la Palud” and for the dowry of “Perronette leur sœur, femme de Perronet fils dudit Aymon de la Palud”, by charter dated 5 Apr 1315[1014]. Jean [III] & his wife had [six] children:

i) HUMBERT de Cossonay (-after Jul 1323). The Dec 1306 charter quoted below suggests that Humbert was his parents’ oldest son. However, his brother Louis succeeded their father although other documents show that Humbert was living at the time. Maybe he was excluded from the succession because of some infirmity. “Margareta de Vilars domina de Cossonay, Humbertus et Ludouicus filii dicte Margarete ac...Johannis quondam domini de Cossonay” donated revenue to Lac-de-Joux, for the anniversary of “mariti nostri quondam...patris nostri”, by charter dated Dec 1306[1015]. “Lodovicus dominus de Cossonay” donated the hospital at Cossonay to Cossonay priory, promising to procure the consent of “Humbertus et Aymo fratres mei”, by charter dated Dec 1311[1016]. “Humbert Louis et Aymon fils de Jean seigneur de Cossonay” sold revenue from their castles of Cossonay, Berchier, L’Isle and Luins to “Otton seigneur de Grandson” to pay “Marguerite leur mère, mariée en secondes noces à Aymon de la Palud” and for the dowry of “Perronette leur sœur, femme de Perronet fils dudit Aymon de la Palud”, by charter dated 5 Apr 1315[1017]. “Lodovicus et Aymo fratres domini de Cossonay” granted rights to the citizens of Cossonay, in return for “dote sororis nostre Johanete quam Humbertus de Billens dominus de Palleysious duxit in uxorem”, promising the adherence of “Humbertum fratrem nostrum”, by charter dated Jul 1323[1018].

ii) LOUIS [I] de Cossonay (-before Jul 1333). “Margareta de Vilars domina de Cossonay, Humbertus et Ludouicus filii dicte Margarete ac...Johannis quondam domini de Cossonay” donated revenue to Lac-de-Joux, for the anniversary of “mariti nostri quondam...patris nostri”, by charter dated Dec 1306[1019]. Seigneur de Cossonay.

- see below.

iii) AIMON de Cossonay (-6 Mar 1375). Co-seigneur de Cossonay. “Aymon coseigneur de Cossonay” consented to various sales by charter dated Aug 1303[1020]. “Lodovicus dominus de Cossonay” donated the hospital at Cossonay to Cossonay priory, promising to procure the consent of “Humbertus et Aymo fratres mei”, by charter dated Dec 1311[1021]. “Humbert Louis et Aymon fils de Jean seigneur de Cossonay” sold revenue from their castles of Cossonay, Berchier, L’Isle and Luins to “Otton seigneur de Grandson” to pay “Marguerite leur mère, mariée en secondes noces à Aymon de la Palud” and for the dowry of “Perronette leur sœur, femme de Perronet fils dudit Aymon de la Palud”, by charter dated 5 Apr 1315[1022]. “Lodovicus et Aymo fratres domini de Cossonay” granted rights to the citizens of Cossonay, in return for “dote sororis nostre Johanete quam Humbertus de Billens dominus de Palleysious duxit in uxorem”, promising the adherence of “Humbertum fratrem nostrum”, by charter dated Jul 1323[1023]. Canon at Lausanne. “Aymo condominus de Cossonay” acknowledged the innocence of “Jaquetum filium Perrini Cononis burgensis de Cossonay” in a murder and accepted his homage by charter dated May 1339[1024]. “Aymo condominus de Cossonay, Guillelmus et Ludovicus fratres filii quondam felicis recordationis...Ludovici domini de Cossonay, militis...et...Johannes nepos mei dicti Aymonis frater noster Guillelmi et Ludovici predictorum...miles” confirmed the earlier agreement with the citizens of Cossonay by charter dated Feb & Mar 1346 (O.S.?)[1025]. “Aymo et Johannes eius nepos domini de Cossonay” reached agreement with “Johannes filius quondam Nichodi de Vouflens villa domicellus et Johannodus eius nepos filius quondam Nichodi fratris dicti Johannis” regarding jurisdiction “in villa et territorio de Vouflens villa” by charter dated Feb 1350 (O.S.?)[1026]. In addition to the above, Williams lists charters dated 3 Nov 1334, 3 Jul 1338, 9 May 1340, 1 Apr 1341, 1 Jun/1Jul/1 Aug 1344, 22 Feb 1346 (O.S.), 29 Mar 1346 (O.S.), 19 Sep 1348, 23 Jun 1351, 13 Jan 1354 (O.S.) in which Aimon was named[1027]. Bishop of Lausanne 1355. The testament of Aimon Bishop of Lausanne, dated 3 Mar 1374 (O.S.), named “son...petit-neveu Louis sire de Cossonay, fils du défunt...Jean seigneur de Cossonay”, substituting “Louis de Cossonay seigneur de Bercher chevalier son neveu...Isabelle fille du susnommé défunt Jean sire de Cossonay chevalier”[1028]. The necrology of Lausanne Cathedral records the death 6 Mar 1374 (O.S.) of “dns Aymo de Cossonay episcopus Laus.” and his donations[1029].

iv) JEANNETTE de Cossonay (-after 6 Jun 1341). “Lodovicus et Aymo fratres domini de Cossonay” granted rights to the citizens of Cossonay, in return for “dote sororis nostre Johanete quam Humbertus de Billens dominus de Palleysious duxit in uxorem”, by charter dated Jul 1323[1030]. “Humbert de Billens chevalier sire de Palaisieux, époux de Johanette de Cossonay...” sold harvest to the convent of Mont-de-Sainte-Marie, naming as guarantors “...Aymon de Cossonay et Jean son neveu”, by charter dated 6 Jun 1341[1031]. Estavayer notes her son Pierre de Billens, second husband of Marguerite de Grandson, and “Jean et Pierre de Billens leur fils décédés”, named in their mother’s 1377 charter[1032]. m ([Jul 1323]) as his second wife, HUMBERT de Billens Seigneur de Palézieux, son of NICOLAS [I] co-Seigneur de Billens, Seigneur de Palézieux & his wife Marguerite --- (-before 5 May 1357[1033]). “Humbert de Billens chevalier sire de Palaisieux et son fils Aimon tous deux chevaliers” borrowed money from “Pierre de Billens sire de Joux et Marguerite de Grandson son épouse”, mortgaging “le château de Palaisieux”, naming as guarantors “Pierre comte de Gruyère, Jean sire de Cossonay, et son frère Girard”, by charter dated 1359[1034].

v) ELEONORE [Perronette] de Cossonay (-before 10 Nov 1339). Charrière records her parentage and marriage, and in a later passage names their son Aymon de la Palud, who made a mutual aid treaty with his cousin Jean [IV] Seigneur de Cossonay dated 25 Nov 1348 (recorded in a charter dated 1412)[1035]. Guichenon records her husband’s ancestry, notes her husband’s donation to Chassagne for her soul dated 10 Nov 1339, but says that the marriage was childless (incorrectly as shown by the following documents)[1036]. “Humbert Louis et Aymon fils de Jean seigneur de Cossonay” sold revenue from their castles of Cossonay, Berchier, L’Isle and Luins to “Otton seigneur de Grandson” to pay “Marguerite leur mère, mariée en secondes noces à Aymon de la Palud” and for the dowry of “Perronette leur sœur, femme de Perronet fils dudit Aymon de la Palud”, by charter dated 5 Apr 1315[1037]. The testament of Louis [III] Seigneur de Cossonay, dated 1387, named as successive substitute heirs “...un des mâles de la famille de Varembon [la Palud], qui donnerait alors quatre mille florins d’or au sire de Varax...[le] sire de Varembon, le même sire de Varax...un des enfants de Jean de Varax”[1038]. The testament of “Johanna domina de Coussonay filia...deffuncti Ludovici quondam domini de Cossenay et uxor...Johannis de Rubeomonte militis”, dated 6 Apr 1405 (O.S.), bequeathed property to “consanguineis suis dominis de Varembon et de Varras...”[1039]. “Guigo de Palude dominus Varambonis” sold “media pars hereditatis…domini Johannis de Cossonay”, adjudged to him by arbitral decision, to Amédée VIII Comte de Savoie, noting his descent from “domina Helinel de Cossonay...filia...Johannis domini quondam de Cossonay” who married “Petro de Palude domino Varambonis”, their son “dominus Aymo de Palude” whose son was “Guigo”, by charter dated 6 Oct 1412[1040]. m (before 5 Apr 1315) as his first wife, PIERRE de la Palud Seigneur de Varembon [en Bresse], son of AIMON de la Palud Seigneur de Varembon & his first wife Jeanne de Montbel (-after 23 Jun 1361).

vi) [--- de Cossonay . Charrière suggests her parentage and marriage to explain the consanguinity between the Cossonay and Varax families as well as the latter’s claim to succeed to Cossonay in the early 15th century[1041].

He is named deceased in the 16 Jul 1369 of his son Louis, quoted below. m (10 Nov 1343) LOUISE de Montbéliard, daughter of HENRI de Montfaucon Comte de Montbéliard & his wife Agnes de Bourgogne (-after 18 May 1384, bur Cossonay Saint-Pierre). “Aymes et Jehan seneis, sire de Cossonay” confirmed having received from “monsr.

Charrière suggests that Louis died after 27 Feb 1383 when the testament of Amédée VI Comte de Savoie names “...Ludovicum de Cossonay dominum de Berthié...”, without the title “Seigneur de Cossonay” (Louis [II]’s paternal uncle who succeeded his nephew, see below), among the executors[1070]. The 1 Dec 1387 charter of his uncle Louis [III], quoted below, shows that Louis [II] died in Italy. m (before 12 Oct 1375) as her second husband, MARGUERITE d’Oron, widow of FRANÇOIS [II] Seigneur de La Sarraz, daughter of AIMON d’Oron Seigneur de Bossonens & his wife Philiberte [Philippine] de Chevron (-after 24 Apr 1410). Charrière notes her parentage and three marriages, records that she was named as Louis’s wife in a charter dated 1375, and notes that their marriage contract was cited in a charter dated 30 Aug, 3/20 Sep, Oct 1394 which records a dispute between her third husband and her sister “Catherine épouse de Jean de Blonay sire du château de Bex”[1071]. The testament of [her father] “Aymon d’Oron seigneur de Bossonens et d’Attalens”, dated 12 Oct 1375, bequeathed payments to “sa fille Marguerite...en vertu du contrat de son premier mariage avec feu François de la Sarra chevalier...rente en vertu du contrat de son présent mariage avec Louis seigneur de Cossonay...le château de Bossonens”[1072]. She married thirdly François de Challant Seigneur de Challant, de Montjouvet, de Châtel-Saint-Denis et de Surpierre, later Comte de Challant.

The testament of Louis [III] Seigneur de Cossonay, dated 1387, named “Louise, Jeanne et Claudines ses petites-nièces...” as his heirs[1081]. She succeeded her sister as Dame de Cossonay. “Johanna domina de Cossonay filia bone memorie...Ludovici domini de Cossonay filiique quondam...Johannis domini de Cossonay avi nostri uxorque...Johannis de Rubeomonte militis dominis de Cossonay” granted privileges to the town of Cossonay by charter dated 14 Apr 1398[1082]. “Jeanne dame de Cossonay femme...[de] Jean de Rougemont chevalier” granted property at Villars-Boson to “Jean Devivaz...” by charter dated 28 Mar 1406[1083].

Charrière describes in detail the various claims made to the Cossonay inheritance after the death of Jeanne de Cossonay[1085]. m (before 14 Apr 1398) as his first wife, JEAN de Rougemont, son of HUMBERT Seigneur de Rougemont et d’Usie & his wife Alix de Neuchâtel [en Bourgogne] (-after 31 Aug 1417).

iii) CLAUDINE de Cossonay (-1394 or after). The testament of “Ludovica de Montebellicardo domina de Cossonay relictaque inclite recordationis...Johannis domini de Cossonay militis”, dated 17 Jul 1383, named as her heirs “Ludovicam, Johannetam, Glaudiam, Nicholetam, filias condam...Ludovici domini de Cossonay filii mei...et...Johannis domini de Cossonay...viri mei...et Nicholetam filiam condam...Guillermi domini de Montagnye leymons et Ysabelle eius uxoris filie mee”[1088]. “Ludovicus dominus de Cossonay [et] de Berchie miles”, in his own name and as guardian of “Ludovice, Johannete et Claudie filiarum bone memorie...Ludovici domini de Cossonay...nepotis nostri et Nycolete filie quondam...Guillelmi domini de Montagnio le Mons”, granted property at Villars-Boson and L’Isle to “Johanni dicto Brallion, de Arsier” by charter dated 15 May 1386[1089].

iv) NICOLETTE de Cossonay (-[17 Jul 1383/15 May 1386]).

Nicolette’s absence from the 15 May 1386 charter quoted above which names her sisters suggests that she was deceased at the time.

b) ISABELLE de Cossonay (-[1382/17 Jul 1383]). Charrière records her testament dated 1382[1093]. The testament of “Ludovica de Montebellicardo domina de Cossonay relictaque inclite recordationis...Johannis domini de Cossonay militis”, dated 17 Jul 1383, named as her heirs “Ludovicam, Johannetam, Glaudiam, Nicholetam, filias condam...Ludovici domini de Cossonay filii mei...et...Johannis domini de Cossonay...viri mei...et Nicholetam filiam condam...Guillermi domini de Montagnye leymons et Ysabelle eius uxoris filie mee”[1094]. “Ludovicus dominus de Cossonay [et] de Berchie miles”, in his own name and as guardian of “Ludovice, Johannete et Claudie filiarum bone memorie...Ludovici domini de Cossonay...nepotis nostri et Nycolete filie quondam...Guillelmi domini de Montagnio le Mons”, granted property at Villars-Boson and L’Isle to “Johanni dicto Brallion, de Arsier” by charter dated 15 May 1386[1095].

2. GUILLAUME de Cossonay (-after 1369). “Aymo condominus de Cossonay, Guillelmus et Ludovicus fratres filii quondam felicis recordationis...Ludovici domini de Cossonay, militis...et...Johannes nepos mei dicti Aymonis frater noster Guillelmi et Ludovici predictorum...miles” confirmed the earlier agreement with the citizens of Cossonay by charter dated Feb & Mar 1346 (O.S.)[1099]. Prior of Payerne. Guillaume had [two] illegitimate children by unknown mistresses:

a) ANTOINETTE bâtarde de Cossonay (-after 1409). Charrière records her parentage and two marriages, both her husbands “bourgeois de Cossonay”, her mention as a widow in 1396, her possible second marriage, and the testament dated 1409 of “Antoinaz nutrita de feu Guillaume de Cossonay prieur de Payerne” which named as her heirs her daughter by her first marriage and her then husband[1100]. m firstly AIMON Domgirard, son of --- (-before 1396). [m secondly JEAN Carrel, son of ---.] m [secondly/thirdly] JEAN de Tourrel, son of --- (-after 1409).

b) [AIMON bâtard de Cossonay (-after 6 Apr 1406). Charrière suggests that Guillaume was the father of “Aymon bâtard de Cossonay, donzel, auteur de la branche illégitime de la maison de ce nom”[1101]. The testament of Louis [III] Seigneur de Cossonay, dated 1387, bequeathed property to “Aymon bâtard de Cossonay donzel”[1102]. The testament of “Marguerite de Salabruche”, dated 14 Sep 1394, bequeathed property to “Aymon bâtard de Cossonay”[1103]. The testament of “Johanna domina de Coussonay filia...deffuncti Ludovici quondam domini de Cossenay et uxor...Johannis de Rubeomonte militis”, dated 6 Apr 1405 (O.S.), bequeathed property to “...Aymoni bastardo de Cossonay“[1104].]

- COSSONAY, branche bâtarde[1105].

3. LOUIS [III] de Cossonay (-[Sep 1394/12 Apr 1395], maybe 19 Sep 1394, bur Lausanne Notre-Dame). “Aymo condominus de Cossonay, Guillelmus et Ludovicus fratres filii quondam felicis recordationis...Ludovici domini de Cossonay, militis...et...Johannes nepos mei dicti Aymonis frater noster Guillelmi et Ludovici predictorum...miles” confirmed the earlier agreement with the citizens of Cossonay by charter dated Feb & Mar 1346 (O.S.)[1106]. Seigneur de Bercher: “Loys de Cossonay seignour de Berchier et Marguerite de Sarbruches sa femme” acknowledged receipt of payment from “mon...oncle Monsr de Montbeliart” by charter dated 1365[1107]. “Monsr. Loys de Cossonay chevalier” acted as guarantor for “Monsr. Louis seignour de Montjoye”, imprisoned at Blâmont castle by “Monsr. Thiebaut seignour de Nuefchastel” by charter dated 23 Jun 1373 “en la forterace et donjon de Berchie”[1108]. The testament of Amédée VI Comte de Savoie, dated 27 Feb 1383, names “...Ludovicum de Cossonay dominum de Berthié...” among his executors[1109]. He succeeded his nephew Louis [II] as Seigneur de Cossonay. “Ludovicus dominus de Cossonay [et] de Berchie miles”, in his own name and as guardian of “Ludovice, Johannete et Claudie filiarum bone memorie...Ludovici domini de Cossonay...nepotis nostri et Nycolete filie quondam...Guillelmi domini de Montagnio le Mons”, granted property at Villars-Boson and L’Isle to “Johanni dicto Brallion, de Arsier” by charter dated 15 May 1386[1110]. “Ludovicus dominus de Cossonay et de Berchier miles” assigned the legacies of “quondam nobilis Agnes soror nostra...dominus Girard de Cossonay...frater noster” to Cossonay Saint-Paul, for the souls of “...bone memorie...Johannes dominus de Cossonay miles...frater noster quondam...nepotem nostrum Ludovicum filium suum...in partibus Ytallie decessus”, and added his own donations by charter dated 1 Dec 1387[1111]. The testament of Louis [III] Seigneur de Cossonay, dated 1387, requested burial “dans l’église de la bien-heureuse Marie de Lausanne...auprès de Jordane dame de Cossonay”, named “Louise, Jeanne et Claudines ses petites-nièces...” as his heirs, substituting successively “Nicolette fille de feu Guillaume sire de Montagny...un des mâles de la famille de Varembon [la Palud], qui donnerait alors quatre mille florins d’or au sire de Varax...[le] sire de Varembon, le même sire de Varax...un des enfants de Jean de Varax”, and bequeathed property to “Aymon bâtard de Cossonay donzel”[1112]. The testament of Amédée VII Comte de Savoie, dated 1 Oct 1391, named “Bonæ de Borbonio comitissæ Sabaudiæ eius...genitricis cum...Ludovici domini de Cossonay” as his executors[1113]. He died before 12 Apr 1395 when his niece Louise is named as dame de Cossonay (see above). The necrology of Lausanne Cathedral records the death 19 Sep of “Ludouico de Cossonay”[1114], which Charrière suggests relates to Louis [III], noting an inventory dated 1441 which records a donation made by him to the church[1115]. m (before 1365) MARGARETA von Saarbrücken, daughter of [JOHANN [I] Graf von Saarbrücken & his second wife Marguerite de Grancey] (-[14 Sep 1394/[Mar] 1395, bur Lausanne Notre-Dame). Charrière names Margareta as the daughter of Simon von Saarbrücken and his wife Marguerite de Savoie-Vaud[1116]. Margareta’s appointment of Eudes [VII] Seigneur de Grancey as her heir in her testament, cited below, suggests that she was the daughter of Johann [I] Graf von Saarbrücken by his second wife who was Eudes [VII]’s paternal aunt. No direct family relationship has been found between Simon von Saarbrücken and the Grancey family, which makes Margareta’s testament difficult to understand if Simon was her father. This suggestion appears corroborated by Margareta’s absence from the 29 Mar 1340 testament of Louis [II] de Savoie Baron de Vaud, which names his nephew Johann von Saarbrücken and refers to Johann’s two sisters [presumably referring to Mathilde and Johanna] but does not refer to a third sister [Margareta][1117]. “Loys de Cossonay seignour de Berchier et Marguerite de Sarbruches sa femme” acknowledged receipt of payment from “mon...oncle Monsr de Montbeliart” by charter dated 1365[1118]. The testament of “Marguerite de Salabruche”, dated 14 Sep 1394, requested burial at Lausanne Notre-Dame, named “Odon sire de Grancey chevalier” as her heir in the duchy of Burgundy and bequeathed all her other assets to her husband Louis Seigneur de Cossonay, except bequests to “Aymon bâtard de Cossonay”[1119]. Charrière suggests that she predeceased her husband as no record has been found which indicates her holding the castle of Bercher in her own name[1120].

4. GERARD de Cossonay (-[May 1359/Dec 1362]). “Humbert de Billens chevalier sire de Palaisieux et son fils Aimon tous deux chevaliers” borrowed money from “Pierre de Billens sire de Joux et Marguerite de Grandson son épouse”, mortgaging “le château de Palaisieux”, naming as guarantors “Pierre comte de Gruyère, Jean sire de Cossonay, et son frère Girard”, by charter dated 1359[1121]. Seigneur de l’Isle. “Henri fils du feu chevalier Girard de Disy” sold property to “Jacques Besançon notaire bourgeois de Cossonay”, with the consent of “le révérend seigneur Aymon de Cossonay évêque de Lausanne, noble Jean seigneur de Cossonay, noble Louise femme de celui-ci, et Girard de Cossonay seigneur de l’Isle chevalier son frère”, by charter dated May 1359[1122]. “Jean seigneur de Cossonay chevalier, frère [de]...Girard, et qui avait succédé aux biens de ce dernier” confirmed an earlier charter issued by the last-named by charter dated Dec 1362[1123]. “Ludovicus dominus de Cossonay et de Berchier miles” assigned the legacies of “quondam nobilis Agnes soror nostra...dominus Girard de Cossonay...frater noster” to Cossonay Saint-Paul, for the souls of “...bone memorie...Johannes dominus de Cossonay miles...frater noster quondam...nepotem nostrum Ludovicum filium suum...in partibus Ytallie decessus”, and added his own donations by charter dated 1 Dec 1387[1124].

5. AGNES de Cossonay (-before 1 Dec 1387). “Ludovicus dominus de Cossonay et de Berchier miles” assigned the legacies of “quondam nobilis Agnes soror nostra...dominus Girard de Cossonay...frater noster” to Cossonay Saint-Paul, for the souls of “...bone memorie...Johannes dominus de Cossonay miles...frater noster quondam...nepotem nostrum Ludovicum filium suum...in partibus Ytallie decessus”, and added his own donations by charter dated 1 Dec 1387[1125].

Prangins was allocated to Guillaume de Cossonay in [1230/32] under the division of Cossonay family territories which followed the death of his father. As noted in the Introduction to this section above, Prangins is located on the western shore of Lake Geneva, about 40 kilometres south-west of Lausanne, on the northern outskirts of Nyon. Situated originally in the old county “des Equestres” (see the document BURGUNDY KINGDOM-GENEVOIS), the seigneurie de Prangins included the town of Nyon and the castles of Mont-le-Vieux and Bioley. The family also possessed the seigneuries de Grandcour and Bellerive in Le Vully. Guillaume de Cossonay’s descendants also possessed the seigneuries of Grandcour and Bellerive in Le Vully (present-day Swiss canton of Fribourg). At the end of 1292, suzerainty over the lands of the seigneurs de Prangins were partitioned between Amédée V Comte de Savoie and his brother Louis de Savoie Baron de Vaud[1126].

GUILLAUME de Cossonay, son of JEAN [I] de Cossonay & his wife Agnes --- (-[13/16] Sep 1267). “Johannes dominus de Prengins” donated land “iuxta Memorei” to Oujon, with the consent of “uxor mea Agnes et filii mei Humbertus et Guillelmus”, by charter dated 1 Jul 1225[1127]. Jean Seigneur de Prangins and his sons Humbert, Jean canon at Lausanne, and Guillaume donated water for the mill at Suaz to Saint-Maire de Lausanne by charter dated 1226[1128]. “Johannes donnus Cossoniaci” notified his agreement with Lausanne Saint-Maire, with the consent of “A(gnetis) uxoris nostre et V(mberti) et W(illelmi) et A(medei) filiorum nostrorum”, by charter dated 19 Mar 1229 (O.S.)[1129]. Seigneur de Prangins. “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.)[1130]. “Wullielmus dominus de Prengyns” donated “decimas de Delui et de Verney...” [Dully, Verney near Brussins] to Romainmôtier, with the consent of “Helisabete uxoris mee et Humberti domini de Cossonay fratris mei”, by charter dated Aug 1238[1131].

The testament of Guillaume Seigneur de Prangins, dated 25 May 1256, named “episcopum Lausannensem fratrem suum...dominam Alys uxorem suam, tutricem et dominam totius terre sue, quamdiu voluerit cum filiis suis commorari”[1135]. “Willelmus dominus de Prengins” confirmed that “Guido de Monte castello meo...” sold land to Bonmont by charter dated 1254[1136]. “Willermus dominus de Prengins” mortgaged “decimas...de Quinsins” to Bonmont by charter dated 24 Jun 1258[1137]. “Willermus dominus de Prengins” sold “molendinum...de Britignye” to Bonmont and confirmed its possessions in the seigneurie de Prangins, with the consent of “Alys uxoris mee Johannis et Williermi filiorum meorum, Ysabele et Agnetis filiarum mearum”, by charter dated 1259[1138]. “Williermus dominus de Prengins” granted annual harvest to “Ysabelle de Gresie uxori Johannis filii nostri” by charter dated 13 Jun 1262[1139]. “Williermus de Pringins miles” donated payments to Bonmont for his anniversary by charter dated 13 Sep 1267[1140].

Guillaume & his second wife had five children:

1. JEAN de Prangins ([1240?]-[25 May/23 Sep] 1284). “Willermus dominus de Prengins” granted rights in the mill at Montlaçon to Bonmont, with the consent of “domine Alys uxoris nostre et Johannis filii nostri”, by charter dated 1249[1146]. His mother’s identity is confirmed by the 16 Mar 1267 (O.S.) charter cited below, although Charrière suggests that, despite the wording of that document, the chronology indicates that Jean was born from his father’s first marriage[1147]. However, Jean’s marriage “before 13 Jun 1262” would be consistent with his birth in [1240], assuming that his father’s first wife died soon after the Aug 1238 charter in which she is named. Alix being Jean’s mother also appears consistent with his father’s 25 May 1256 testament quoted above. “Willermus dominus de Prengins” renounced claims to “decimis...in parrochiis de Cracie, de Grens, de Viz, et de Britignie” in favour of Bonmont, recalling what “Johannes pater meus” did, with the consent of “Alys uxoris mee et Johannis filii mei”, by charter dated mid-Nov 1253[1148]. “Willermus dominus de Prengins” sold “molendinum...de Britignye” to Bonmont and confirmed its possessions in the seigneurie de Prangins, with the consent of “Alys uxoris mee Johannis et Williermi filiorum meorum, Ysabele et Agnetis filiarum mearum”, by charter dated 1259[1149]. Seigneur de Prangins. “Alesia dame de Prangins tutrice de son fils Aymon, et Jean son fils aîné” donated land “Comba...Ver...” to Filly, bequeathed to the convent by “Guillaume dominus noster de Prangins”, by charter dated 16 Mar 1267 (O.S.)[1150]. “Johannes [...dominus] de Pringins domicellus” confirmed an agreement between “Widonem de Brusinez...” and Filly convent by charter dated 31 May 1271[1151]. “Johannes dns de Prangins” sold property “in villa et territorio de Brussins” to Romainmôtier, naming “Jacobum condominum de Albona” as guarantor, by charter dated 10 Jan 1272 (O.S.?)[1152]. A charter dated 1276 records the arbitration of a dispute between Jean Seigneur de Prangins and Payerne convent relating to Bassins[1153]. Jean de Prangins presumably died before 23 Sep 1284, the date of the charter quoted below in which his brother is named “Aymo dnus de Prangins”. [In addition to the above, a series of documents has been attributed to Jean [II] Seigneur de Cossonay, particularly by Charrière. Williams suggests that all these documents refer more probably to Jean Seigneur de Prangins, highlighting in particular that Commugny (the subject of the 22 Sep 1264 and 27 Sep 1274 documents) is located near Nyon and Prangins, both seigneuries of the Prangins branch, as was Bioley cited in the 10 Mar 1284 (O.S.) document[1154]. “Johannes dominus de Cossonay et de Prangins et filii eius” declared having no right “in domo de Cuminiaco” [Commugny], acquired by Pierre Comte de Savoie, by charter dated 22 Sep 1264[1155]. It is uncertain whether this charter is misdated and in fact reflects the 27 Sep 1274 charter quoted below. “Johannes dominus Cossoniaci et filii sui” acknowledged having no claim over “in domo Cumuniaci” [Commugny] by charter dated 27 Sep 1274[1156]. “Jean sire de Cossonay” enlarged the fief of “donzel Jacques, fils du donzel Jean de Senarclens” by charter dated 1279, Charrière suggesting that the document relates to Jean [III] Seigneur de Cossonay (see above)[1157], which does not explain the apparent absence from the document of Jordane, mother and guardian of Jean [III] who was young at the time. Charrière suggests that the following document also relates to Jean [II] Seigneur de Cossonay[1158], although the basis for his supposed involvement in Prangins is unclear: Johannes dominus de Prengins...et liberos suos” swore homage to Rudolf King of Germany for “castrum suum de Byole...et castellaniam de Prengins” by charter dated “sabbato ante festum beati Gregorii” 10 Mar 1284 (O.S.)[1159]. He bases his argument on the supposition that Jean Seigneur de Prangins was deceased at the time, but the only certainty appears to be that he died before 23 Sep 1284.] m firstly (before 13 Jun 1262) ISABELLE de Greysier, daughter of --- (-after 13 Jun 1262). “Williermus dominus de Prengins” granted annual harvest to “Ysabelle de Gresie uxori Johannis filii nostri” by charter dated 13 Jun 1262[1160]. She is named as mother of Ancelisia in the undated charter quoted below. m secondly (before 26 Mar 1275) GUILLELME, daughter of ---. “Johannes dominus de Prengins” noted that “dom(inus) Aymo comes Gebenn(ensis)” had granted “tutelam liberorum Petri dicti de Sala de Cletis” to “michi et Guill(eleme) uxori mee”, swore allegiance to Comte Aimon for the duration of the guardianship, by charter dated 26 Mar 1274 (O.S.)[1161]. Jean & his first wife had one child:

a) ANCELLIE de Prangins (-after 10 Jan 1302). “Ancellyy filia Johannis de Prangins domicelli” granted her share in the succession of “Johannis eius patris predicti et Isabelle eius matris quondam” in “castro et castellania de Mons...Byoley...de Prangins...de Bellariva...de Grantcort...de Greysis...de Sessens” to “Peronetus eius frater” by charter dated 18/20 Apr 1299, witnessed by “Humbertus frater dicte Ancelliy...”[1162]. “Petrus filius Johannis de Prangins, domicelli” transferred back “castro [et] castellania Dudo de Monz” to “Ancellyy eius sorori” by charter dated 10 Jan 1301 (O.S.)[1163].

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

b) HUMBERT de Prangins (-after 18/20 Apr 1299). “Ancellyy filia Johannis de Prangins domicelli” granted her share in the succession of “Johannis eius patris predicti et Isabelle eius matris quondam” in “castro et castellania de Mons...Byoley...de Prangins...de Bellariva...de Grantcort...de Greysis...de Sessens” by charter dated 18/20 Apr 1299, witnessed by “Humbertus frater dicte Ancelliy...”[1164]. The wording of the witness clause suggests that Humbert was the full brother of Ancellie, although this is not beyond all doubt.

Jean & his [first/second] wife had four children:

c) PIERRE de Prangins (-after 23 Jan 1323). “Ancellyy filia Johannis de Prangins domicelli” granted her share in the succession of “Johannis eius patris predicti et Isabelle eius matris quondam” in “castro et castellania de Mons...Byoley...de Prangins...de Bellariva...de Grantcort...de Greysis...de Sessens” to “Peronetus eius frater” by charter dated 18/20 Apr 1299[1165]. It is not clear from this document whether Ancellie and Pierre shared the same mother. The following document suggests that Isabelle was only the mother of Ancellie: an undated charter, maybe dated to the early 15th century, which records disputes between Bonmont and the county of Gruyère and notes donations made by “Vullermus pro tunc dominus de Prengins, de Mons, du Byolley, de Marchissie...”, actions by “Johannes filius predicti Vullermi, domini de Prengins...et...Ancellesia filia ipsius Johannis et nepta dicti Vullermi...Peroneto fratri suo...Ysabelle ipsius Ancellesie matris”, the latter dated 1299, by “Petrus filius predicti Johannis de Prengino...dominus predicti castri de Monte...” dated 1301[1166]. “Petrus filius Johannis de Prangins, domicelli” transferred back “castro [et] castellania Dudo de Monz” to “Ancellyy eius sorori” by charter dated 10 Jan 1301 (O.S.)[1167]. The wording of his second wife’s 23 Jan 1322 (O.S.) charter cited below suggests that Pierre was still alive at that date. Charrière discusses possible descendants of Pierre until the early 15th century[1168]. m firstly (before 1310) as her second husband, ALIX d’Aubonne, widow of --- d’Aubonne, daughter of JEAN co-Seigneur d’Aubonne & his wife --- (-[1310/12]). “Girard et Etienne d’Aubonne, de Lausanne” claimed property, in their name and in the name of “Alexie leur mère fille de Jean coseigneur d’Aubonne et remariée à Pierre de Prangins” by charter dated 1310[1169]. m secondly ([1311/12]) PERRETTE de Cheseaux, daughter of GUILLAUME dit Assentiz de Chesaux & his wife ---. “Perette et Isabelle filles de feu Guillaume dit Assentiz de Cheseaux donzel” sold property to “Johannod fils de feu Guillaume, fils de Pierre de Cheseaux”, with the consent of “Pierre de Prangins donzel mari de la prénommée Perrette...Guiot l’époux d’Isabelle”, by charter dated 1312[1170]. “Perette de Cheseaux femme de Pierre de Prangins” is named in a charter dated 23 Jan 1322 (O.S.)[1171].

d) JEAN de Prangins (-after 1 Sep 1297). A charter dated 1 Sep 1297 names “Jean de Prangins chanoine de Genève...Brianca et Alyse, celle-ci femme de Guillaume de Charrères”, siblings of Pierre, consenting to the transfer of rights to “Prangins, Bioley, Mont, Grandcour, Bellerive” to Louis de Savoie Baron de Vaud[1172].

e) BLANCHE de Prangins (-after 1 Sep 1297). A charter dated 1 Sep 1297 names “Jean de Prangins chanoine de Genève...Brianca et Alyse, celle-ci femme de Guillaume de Charrères”, siblings of Pierre, consenting to the transfer of rights to “Prangins, Bioley, Mont, Grandcour, Bellerive” to Louis de Savoie Baron de Vaud[1173].

f) ALIX de Prangins (-after 1 Sep 1297). A charter dated 1 Sep 1297 names “Jean de Prangins chanoine de Genève...Brianca et Alyse, celle-ci femme de Guillaume de Charrères”, siblings of Pierre, consenting to the transfer of rights to “Prangins, Bioley, Mont, Grandcour, Bellerive” to Louis de Savoie Baron de Vaud[1174]. m (before 1297) GUILLAUME de Charrères, son of ---.

2. GUILLAUME de Prangins (-after 1259). “Willermus dominus de Prengins” sold “molendinum...de Britignye” to Bonmont and confirmed its possessions in the seigneurie de Prangins, with the consent of “Alys uxoris mee Johannis et Williermi filiorum meorum, Ysabele et Agnetis filiarum mearum”, by charter dated 1259[1175].

3. ISABELLE de Prangins . “Willermus dominus de Prengins” sold “molendinum...de Britignye” to Bonmont and confirmed its possessions in the seigneurie de Prangins, with the consent of “Alys uxoris mee Johannis et Williermi filiorum meorum, Ysabele et Agnetis filiarum mearum”, by charter dated 1259[1176].

4. AGNES de Prangins . “Willermus dominus de Prengins” sold “molendinum...de Britignye” to Bonmont and confirmed its possessions in the seigneurie de Prangins, with the consent of “Alys uxoris mee Johannis et Williermi filiorum meorum, Ysabele et Agnetis filiarum mearum”, by charter dated 1259[1177].

5. AIMON de Prangins ([after 1259]-after 21 Jul 1306). His absence from the 1259 charter quoted above suggests that Aimon was born after that date. “Alesia dame de Prangins tutrice de son fils Aymon, et Jean son fils aîné” donated land “Comba...Ver...” to Filly, bequeathed to the convent by “Guillaume dominus noster de Prangins”, by charter dated 16 Mar 1267 (O.S.)[1178]. Seigneur de Prangins (presumably on behalf of his minor nephew): “Aymo dnus de Prangins” settled a dispute with Romainmôtier concerning “domo de Brussins” by charter dated 23 Sep 1284[1179]. Seigneur de Nyon: “Aymo de Prengins dominus de Nyons” confirmed the sale of the mills of Coster and Lusigny made to Bonmont by “domini Willermi de Prengins quondam patris nostri” by charter dated 18 Oct 1284[1180]. A charter dated late-Jun 1291 was sealed by “Aymonis de Pringins domini de Nyons”[1181]. Letters dated 29 Apr 1295 record the settlement of a dispute between “comitem Amedeum Sabaudie” and “Aymonem de Mons, filium quondam domini Vullelmi, domino de Prangino et de Nyviduno” concerning “castrum et villam de Nyviduno”[1182].

F. SEIGNEURS d’ESTAVAYER

Estavayer is located near the southern shore of Lake Neuchâtel, about four kilometres north-east of Payerne in the present-day Swiss canton of Fribourg, near the border with Vaud canton. The reconstruction of the Estavayer family shown below is tentative and includes many uncertainties. Two early secondary sources have been used: Grangier’s late-18th/early 19th century Annales d’Estavayer[1183] and Fritz Chabloz’s 1883 review of ‘Les premiers sires d’Outre-Areuse’[1184]. Grangier’s detailed summaries of primary source documents suggests that he had access to the originals (unfortunately he does not quote the precise texts). but his conclusions about the earliest generations of the family are inconsistent with the source material quoted below. Chabroz describes many sources, most without citation references, and some of his conclusions are open to debate as will be seen below. Europäische Stammtafeln shows its own reconstruction[1185], based it seems on the information in the 1938/39 Archives héraldiques suisses[1186].

[Two siblings]. Chabloz says that Conon [I] was the son of “Raynald I qui vivait en 1135”, adding that documents name him “dominus” in 1145 and 1157 (no source citations)[1187]. This information has not been verified. Europäische Stammtafeln shows “Reynald I, 1090/1156” as the son of “Robert d’Estavayer 1090, 1118†”[1188]. As the primary sources which correspond to these dates have not been identified (they are not cited by either Grangier or Chabloz), it has not been possible to verify this information.

1. CONON [I] d’Estavayer (-after 1184). “...Cono de Stavail...” witnessed the charter dated 1177 under which Berthold IV Hezog von Zähringen confirmed property of Payerne[1189]. A charter dated 1177 confirms an agreement between Théla abbey and “domnus Cono de Stavaia” who renounced certain rights[1190]. “Domnus Cono de Estanay, Willelmus filius eius, Galcherus de Fonz, Galcherus de Estauay...Petrus et Willemus fratres de Estauay milites...Raymundus de Estauay” witnessed the 1184 charter which records a sale by “Petrus et Willelmus filii Galcherii de Blonay” to Théla abbey[1191]. m ---. The name of Conon’s wife is not known. Conon [I] & his wife had three children:

a) GUILLAUME [I] d’Estavayer (-[15 Sep 1241/29 May 1244]). “Domnus Cono de Estanay, Willelmus filius eius...” witnessed the 1184 charter which records a sale by “Petrus et Willelmus filii Galcherii de Blonay” to Théla abbey[1192]. Co-seigneur d’Estavayer.

- see below.

b) RENAUD [II] d’Estavayer (-before 1260). He is named as Guillaume’s brother in the 18 Oct 1230 charter cited below. Co-seigneur d’Estavayer.

- see below.

c) CONON d’Estavayer . Provost of Lausanne. He is named as Guillaume’s brother in the 18 Oct 1230 charter cited below. Co-seigneur d’Estavayer.

2. [---. Her parentage and marriage are indicated by an undated charter under which “Petrus seneschaudus domini Cononis de Estavaye” donated property to Théla, witnessed by “Cono de Estavaye, Petrus de Fonz, nepos domini Cononis de Estavayer”[1193]. The second witness would have been this person’s son, assuming that “nepos” was used in its strict sense of nephew. m --- de Font, son of ---.]

Senior branch of the Estavayer family:

GUILLAUME [I] d’Estavayer, son of CONON [I] d’Estavayer & his wife --- (-[15 Sep 1241[1194]/29 May 1244]). “Domnus Cono de Estanay, Willelmus filius eius...” witnessed the 1184 charter which records a sale by “Petrus et Willelmus filii Galcherii de Blonay” to Théla abbey[1195]. Co-seigneur d’Estavayer. The 1 Jun 1218 marriage contract between “Thomas comes Savoye...filiam suam Margaritham” and “Comiti Hartmanno filio comitis Ulrici de Kyburg” records money to be paid “in man Dni Bertholdi comitis de Novocastro et Dni Wilhelmi de Stavayé”[1196]. “Wulelmus et Reinaldus domini de Estauaiel...R. destauaiel…” witnessed the 4 Jul 1224 charter which records a dispute between “Wulelmum de capella militem et Wulelmum fratrem Umberti...super hereditate Burcardi quondam villici de Dunmartin”[1197]. “...Petrus de Estauaiel sacerdos...Wulelmus et Cono domini de Estauaiel...” witnessed the 3 Sep 1225 charter issued by “Richardus frater Remundi...”[1198]. “Dominus Wilhelmus de Estavayer...” witnessed the charter dated 20 Apr 1229 under which “Berchtoldus dominus Novi Castri” donated property to the monks of Saint-Jean[1199]. A charter dated 18 Oct 1230 records a sale by Théla abbey to Hauterive abbey, with the consent of “dominorum de Stavaiel...Cononis prepositi Lausannensis, Willelmi et Raynaldi fratrum, et Willelmæ uxoris domini Willelmi et Pontiæ uxoris domini Cononis defuncti et filiorum suorum Raynaldi et Willelmi, Sibillæ uxoris domini Raynaldi et filiorum eius Willelmi, Petri, Henrici, Jacobi, et filiarum Andæ, Clementiæ, Petronillæ”[1200]. A charter dated 14 Dec 1231 records “Wulelmus dominus de Estauaiel” holding a fief from the bishop of Lausanne[1201]: Grangier’s Annales d’Estavayer dates this document to 1241[1202]. Guillaume is named as deceased in the 29 May 1244 charter cited below.

m GUILLELME, daughter of ---. She is named as Guillaume’s wife in the 18 Oct 1230 charter cited above. It is not known whether she was the mother of his children or whether they were born from an earlier marriage.

Guillaume [I] & his wife had two children:

1. CONON [II] d’Estavayer (-[3 Jul 1226/18 Oct 1230]). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified, but the order of names in the 3 Sep 1225 charter cited below indicates that Conon was junior to Guillaume and therefore could have been his son. Co-seigneur d’Estavayer. “...Petrus de Estauaiel sacerdos...Wulelmus et Cono domini de Estauaiel...” witnessed the 3 Sep 1225 charter issued by “Richardus frater Remundi...”[1203]. “...Renaldus et Cono domini de Hestauayel...Unbertus de Hestauayel...” witnessed the 3 Jul 1226 charter issued by “Vldricus filius Uuillenci militis de Paterniaco...”[1204]. He is named deceased in the 18 Oct 1230 charter cited above. m PONTIE, daughter of ---. She is named as Conon’s wife in the 18 Oct 1230 charter cited above. Conon [II] & his wife had three children:

a) RENAUD [IV] d’Estavayer (-[before Jun 1291?]). He is named “nepos” of Guillaume in the 29 May 1244 charter cited below, the term in this case presumably indicating grandson. Co-seigneur d’Estavayer. A charter dated 29 May 1244, recording peace between the bishop of Lausanne and the counts of Savoy, records the former granting to the latter “quicquid ecclesia Laus. habebat vel habere...apud Estavaya [acquired from] Willelmo quondam domino de Estavaya Raynaudo Willelmo et Johanne fratribus nepotibus suis Willelmeta filia sui consentientibus” for which “Raynaudus” swore homage[1205]. “Reynaldus et Willermus clericus et Johannes fratres condomini de Estavaye” settled disputes with “Girardum et Lambertum fratres de Corgie domicellos et Johannem nepotem eorundem” by charter dated Apr 1252[1206]. “Raynaldus Johannes et Willermus fratres de Estauayaco, et Petrus Maior de Cugie miles” swore allegiance to Pierre Comte de Savoie for “castrum sive domum de Fons” by charter dated 27 Oct 1265, sealed by “Jaqueti condomini de Estayaco”[1207]. [“...Renaldi condomini de Estavayer” sealed the 15 Apr 1268 charter which records the settlement of a dispute between the prior of Bevaix and “dominam Sibillam matrem Jacobi condomini de Estavayer, et dominum Girardum de Rupeforti et dominum Petrum de Asnens militem”[1208]. It is not known whether this document refers to Renaud [IV] or Renaud [III], or indeed whether the two were in fact the same person as discussed below.] Renaud died before the Jun 1291 charter cited below. m ---. The primary source which names Renaud’s wife has not been identified. Europäische Stammtafeln says that she was “Brisette (de Montagny), T v (Aimon II Sire de Montagny)”[1209], information which has not been verified. Renaud [IV] & his wife had three children:

i) CONON [III] d’Estavayer . He is named as brother of Gérard in the Jun 1291 charter cited below. same person as...? CONON d’Estavayer (-1330 or after). Grangier’s Annales d’Estavayer records that “Henri, Richard, Aymon et Wuillelme, fils de feu Wuillelme d’Estavayer” claimed ”le droit de bamp et de clames sur les ressortissants du coseigneur Conon” who claimed the same right, arbitrated by “Guillaume d’Estavayer, de l’archidiacre de Lincoln et de deux coseigneurs d’Estavayer, le chevalier Pierre, frère de Guillaume et leur cousin Reynald” who found in favour of Conon who compensated the four brothers, by charter dated [before 23] Apr 1318[1210]. The testament of “Conon coseigneur d’Estavayer”, dated 1330, bequeathed his property to ”les mâles de la maison d’Estavayer”, requiring them to give first right of refusal to other members of the family should they wish to sell them[1211]. This document indicates that Conon died without male heirs.

ii) GERARD d’Estavayer (-after Jun 1291). “Girard, fils de feu Renaud, coseigneur d’Estavayer” sold his share in their father’s inheritance to ”son frère Conon, donzel” and declared himself Gérard’s vassal, while Conon ceded to Gérard “sa part du verger dit de Chenaux avec les censes qu’ils possèdent en commun dans les villages de Cugy, Aumont, Montet” and promised to provide the dowry for “leur sœur Clémence”, by charter dated Jun 1291, witnessed by “Guillaume coseigneur d’Estavayer donzel [=Guillaume [III], uncle of the two brothers?], Girard coseigneur du dit lieu...” and sealed by “dom Guillaume coseigneur d’Estavayer et chanoine de Lausanne...”[1212]. This information has been copied into Europäische Stammtafeln[1213], but its accuracy has not been verified.

iii) CLEMENCE d’Estavayer (-after Jun 1291). She is named as sister of Gérard in the Jun 1291 charter cited above, when she was unmarried.

b) GUILLAUME [III] d’Estavayer (-[Jun 1291/17 Oct 1299]). He is named as brother of Renaud in the 29 May 1244 charter cited above. Co-seigneur d’Estavayer. “Reynaldus et Willermus clericus et Johannes fratres condomini de Estavaye” settled disputes with “Girardum et Lambertum fratres de Corgie domicellos et Johannem nepotem eorundem” by charter dated Apr 1252[1214]. Guillaume presumably resigned his ecclesiastical position before the following document. “Raynaldus Johannes et Willermus fratres de Estauayaco, et Petrus Maior de Cugie miles” swore allegiance to Pierre Comte de Savoie for “castrum sive domum de Fons” by charter dated 27 Oct 1265, sealed by “Jaqueti condomini de Estayaco”[1215]. “Girard, fils de feu Renaud, coseigneur d’Estavayer” sold his share in their father’s inheritance to ”son frère Conon, donzel...” by charter dated Jun 1291, witnessed by “Guillaume coseigneur d’Estavayer donzel [=Guillaume [III], uncle of the two brothers?], Girard coseigneur du dit lieu...” and sealed by “dom Guillaume coseigneur d’Estavayer et chanoine de Lausanne...”[1216]. He is named as deceased in the 17 Oct 1299 charter witnessed by his son Richard. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Guillaume’s wife has not been identified. Europäische Stammtafeln names her “Sibille de Vuicherens T v Wuillelme Rr u Marguerite de Rossillon”[1217]. This information has not been verified. Guillaume [III] & his wife had children (Europäische Stammtafeln names four other children[1218]):

i) HENRI d’Estavayer . Grangier’s Annales d’Estavayer records that “Henri, Richard, Aymon et Wuillelme, fils de feu Wuillelme d’Estavayer” claimed ”le droit de bamp et de clames sur les ressortissants du coseigneur Conon” who claimed the same right, arbitrated by “Guillaume d’Estavayer, de l’archidiacre de Lincoln et de deux coseigneurs d’Estavayer, le chevalier Pierre, frère de Guillaume et leur cousin Reynald” who found in favour of Conon who compensated the four brothers, by charter dated [before 23] Apr 1318[1219]. “Jean coseigneur d’Estavayer, fils de feu Rollin” sold property to ”Henri fils du coseigneur défunt Vuillelme”, with the consent of “Vuillelme, aussi coseigneur et fils du chevalier Renaud”, by charter dated 5 Jan 1327 (O.S.)[1220].

ii) RICHARD d’Estavayer . Priest at Bevaix: “...Richardus filius quondam Wulliermi condomini de Estavaye, curatus de Belfoz...” witnessed the 17 Oct 1299 charter under which “Rolinus filius quondam Girardi condomini de Estavaye” swore allegiance to “Petro condomino de Estavaye militi” for property[1221]. He was named in the [before 23] Apr 1318 charter cited above under his brother Henri. “Les frères Richard et Aymon coseigneurs d’Estavayer, fils de feu Vuillelme, et Jeannette femme d’Aymon” sold property to Estavayer convent by charter dated 3 Apr 1333[1222].

iii) AIMON d’Estavayer . He was named in the [before 23] Apr 1318 charter cited above under his brother Henri. “Les frères Richard et Aymon coseigneurs d’Estavayer, fils de feu Vuillelme, et Jeannette femme d’Aymon” sold property to Estavayer convent by charter dated 3 Apr 1333[1223]. “Aymon et Wuillelme coseigneurs d’Estavayer” sealed a charter dated 19 Dec 1334 and “y placèrent aussi celui de Pierre fils de feu Perrod, dont ils étaient tuteurs”[1224].

- Co-SEIGNEURS d’ESTAVAYER[1225].

iv) GUILLAUME d’Estavayer . He was named in the [before 23] Apr 1318 charter cited above under his brother Henri. “Aymon et Wuillelme coseigneurs d’Estavayer” sealed a charter dated 19 Dec 1334 and “y placèrent aussi celui de Pierre fils de feu Perrod, dont ils étaient tuteurs”[1226].

c) JEAN [II] d’Estavayer (-after 22 Nov 1280). He is named as brother of Renaud in the 29 May 1244 charter cited above. Co-seigneur d’Estavayer. “Reynaldus et Willermus clericus et Johannes fratres condomini de Estavaye” settled disputes with “Girardum et Lambertum fratres de Corgie domicellos et Johannem nepotem eorundem” by charter dated Apr 1252[1227]. “Raynaldus Johannes et Willermus fratres de Estauayaco, et Petrus Maior de Cugie miles” swore allegiance to Pierre Comte de Savoie for “castrum sive domum de Fons” by charter dated 27 Oct 1265, sealed by “Jaqueti condomini de Estayaco”[1228]. “Jahans ensemble sires de Estevaie” requested from “dame Sibilie dame de Nuefchastel” a fief (“sus tau chalonie” = fishing rights in the Areuse[1229]) which he had held from “Bertot seignor de Nuefchastel...” by charter dated 22 Jan 1266 (O.S.?)[1230]. “Jacobus miles et Johannes condominus de Estavayaci” declared having ceded pasturage rights to Bevaix five years before “in nemoribus...inter Arosam et nemus...Setil...” by charter dated 22 Nov 1280[1231]. [same person as...? JEAN d’Estavayer (after Nov 1299). This co-identity has not been confirmed, although no other reference to a Jean d’Estavayer at that time has been found. Grangier’s Annales d’Estavayer records the testament of “Othon de Bonvillars, chevalier, fils de feu Wilhelme”, dated [before 23] Nov 1299, in which he donated “les censes...au village de Pommiers...” to the Dominicans at Eichissye, for the souls of himself and family members and in addition ”...Wuillelme de Valères, Jean Coseigneur d’Estavayer”[1232]. Jean’s inclusion suggests a family relationship with the testator, but an Estavayer/Bonvillars family connection has not otherwise been identified.]

2. GUILLELME d’Estavayer (-after 29 May 1244). She is named as daughter of Guillaume in the 29 May 1244 charter cited above, presumably then unmarried or widowed as no husband is named.

Junior branch of the Estavayer family:

RENAUD [II] d’Estavayer, son of CONON [I] d’Estavayer & his wife --- ([1185/90?]-before 1260). He is named as Guillaume’s brother in the 18 Oct 1230 charter cited above. Co-seigneur d’Estavayer. “Wulelmus et Reinaldus domini de Estauaiel...R. destauaiel…” witnessed the 4 Jul 1224 charter which records a dispute between “Wulelmum de capella militem et Wulelmum fratrem Umberti...super hereditate Burcardi quondam villici de Dunmartin”[1233]. “...Renaldus et Cono domini de Hestauayel...Unbertus de Hestauayel...” witnessed the 3 Jul 1226 charter issued by “Vldricus filius Uuillenci militis de Paterniaco...”[1234]. A charter dated 18 Oct 1230 records a sale by Théla abbey to Hauterive abbey, with the consent of “dominorum de Stavaiel...Cononis prepositi Lausannensis, Willelmi et Raynaldi fratrum, et Willelmæ uxoris domini Willelmi et Pontiæ uxoris domini Cononis defuncti et filiorum suorum Raynaldi et Willelmi, Sibillæ uxoris domini Raynaldi et filiorum eius Willelmi, Petri, Henrici, Jacobi, et filiarum Andæ, Clementiæ, Petronillæ”[1235].

m SIBYLLE, daughter of --- (-after 15 Apr 1268). She is named as Renaud’s wife in the 18 Oct 1230 charter cited above, which provides no guarantee that she was the mother of all his children named in the same document. Chabloz says that Sibylle was “peut-être une d’Usié”, noting the charter dated Aug 1259 cited below in which her supposed son Jacques named “li sires d’Usies mes oncles”[1236]. A charter dated 15 Apr 1268 records the settlement of a dispute between the prior of Bevaix and “dominam Sibillam matrem Jacobi condomini de Estavayer, et dominum Girardum de Rupeforti et dominum Petrum de Asnens militem”, with the consent of “partium in Vuillermum dominum de Estavayer”, sealed by “Jacobus condominus de Estavayer...Renaldi condomini de Estavayer”[1237].

Renaud [II] & his wife had seven children:

1. GUILLAUME [II] d’Estavayer (-after 1276). He is named as Renaud’s son in the 18 Oct 1230 charter cited above. Co-seigneur d’Estavayer. A charter dated 15 Apr 1268 records the settlement of a dispute between the prior of Bevaix and “dominam Sibillam matrem Jacobi condomini de Estavayer...”, with the consent of “partium in Vuillermum dominum de Estavayer”[1238]. Europäische Stammtafeln names him “Wuillelme II, 1227 Rr 1271 cosn. d’Estavayer 1226/76”[1239], although the earlier dates could relate to Guillaume [I] of the senior branch. The primary source which corresponds to the 1276 date has not been identified.

2. PIERRE d’Estavayer (-after 18 Oct 1230). He is named as Renaud’s son in the 18 Oct 1230 charter cited above. same person as…? PIERRE [I] d’Estavayer (-after 1270). Co-seigneur d’Estavayer. Europäische Stammtafeln shows “Pierre I, 1270 cosn. d’Estavayer”[1240]. As noted below, the same chart shows Jean [I] and Renaud [III] associated with the same date. The corresponding primary source has not been found, so it has not been possible to verify whether it shows a family relationship between the three individuals, or indeed whether Pierre [I] was the same person as Pierre son of Renaud [II].

3. HENRI d’Estavayer (-after 18 Oct 1230). He is named as Renaud’s son in the 18 Oct 1230 charter cited above.

4. JACQUES d’Estavayer ([1220/25?]-[after Aug 1282]). He is named as Renaud’s son in the 18 Oct 1230 charter cited above. Grangier’s Annales d’Estavayer incorrectly names Jacques as oldest son of Guillaume [I] Seigneur d’Estavayer (of the senior branch, see above)[1241]. Co-seigneur d’Estavayer. “Jaquaz sires dEstevaie en partie” declared the suzerainty of “Jehan conte de Bourgoigne et seignour de Salins” for “ma partie...en la chastellenie de Gorger” by charter dated Aug 1259, sealed by “li sires d’Usies mes oncles”[1242]. “Raynaldus Johannes et Willermus fratres de Estauayaco, et Petrus Maior de Cugie miles” swore allegiance to Pierre Comte de Savoie for “castrum sive domum de Fons” by charter dated 27 Oct 1265, sealed by “Jaqueti condomini de Estayaco”[1243]. He sealed his mother’s 15 Apr 1268 charter cited above. A charter dated 15 Apr 1268 records the settlement of a dispute between the prior of Bevaix and “dominam Sibillam matrem Jacobi condomini de Estavayer, et dominum Girardum de Rupeforti et dominum Petrum de Asnens militem”, with the consent of “partium in Vuillermum dominum de Estavayer”, sealed by “Jacobus condominus de Estavayer...Renaldi condomini de Estavayer”[1244]. “Jacobus miles et Johannes condominus de Estavayaci” declared having ceded pasturage rights to Bevaix five years before “in nemoribus...inter Arosam et nemus...Setil...” by charter dated 22 Nov 1280[1245]. He was named in his son’s Aug 1282 charter cited below, the wording suggesting that he may have been living at the time. [Chabloz says that Jacques married firstly Jordane de Grandson, daughter of Gérard de Grandson Seigneur de la Sarraz & his wife Antoinette --- ([1220/25?]-after 1235), but cites no corroborating source[1246]. He suggests that the marriage explains the introduction of the name Gérard into the Estavayer family, although the sources cited below show that Jacques’s known wife Isabelle was the mother of his son Gérard. Europäische Stammtafeln shows the same first marriage and parentage, presumably based on Chabloz, but adding that the couple were parents of Renaud [V], Conon and Guillaume [IV] (Chabloz says that Renaud [V] and Guillaume [IV] were sons of Jean [II] of the senior branch[1247])[1248]. Until more information comes to light, it is suggested that this supposed first marriage be treated with caution.] m ([1254/59?]) ISABELLE, daughter of --- (-after Feb [1319], bur [Estavayer]). Her marriage date is estimated from the estimated birth date of her son Gérard. She is named in her grandson’s 17 Oct 1299 charter cited below. Grangier’s Annales d’Estavayer records the 29 Nov 1303 testament of “Isabelle veuve de Jacques, coseigneur d’Estavayer”, appointing as her universal heirs ”Jacques son fils et son petit-fils Rollin...fils de feu Gérard”, named as executors “son fils Jacques et son gendre Hermann de Crissier (Cressier)” in consultation with “son fils Jean de l’ordre des Frères Prêcheurs”, and named “sa fille Alexia”[1249]. Grangier also cites a charter dated [before 24] Feb 1318 (O.S.?) in which Isabelle chose burial “dans l’église du couvent d’Estavayer”, made religious donations, and reserved property to herself for life[1250]. Jacques & his [second] wife had children:

a) GERARD d’Estavayer ([1255/60?]-[Jun 1291/17 Oct 1299]). His birth date is estimated from the estimated birth date of his son. “Petrus dominus de Vaumareuil...de consensu...Margarete uxoris mee, Ysabelle filie mee et Aymonis mariti eiusdem Ysabelle” sold “avoeriam de Warmondens et de Ponterousa et piscaria aque...Arousa...” to “Girardo filio domini Jacobi condomini de Estavaye” by charter dated Aug 1282[1251]. “Girard, fils de feu Renaud, coseigneur d’Estavayer” sold his share in their father’s inheritance to ”son frère Conon, donzel...” by charter dated Jun 1291, witnessed by “Guillaume coseigneur d’Estavayer donzel [=Guillaume [III], uncle of the two brothers?], Girard coseigneur du dit lieu...” and sealed by “dom Guillaume coseigneur d’Estavayer et chanoine de Lausanne...”[1252]. He is named as deceased in his son’s 17 Oct 1299 charter cited below. m ALIX, daughter of ---. She is named in her son’s 17 Oct 1299 charter cited below. Europäische Stammtafeln says that she was Alexie de Neuchâtel, daughter of Amédée de Neuchâtel co-Seigneur de Neuchâtel & his wife Jordane de la Sarraz (-after Jun 1329), who married [secondly] Ulrich Herr von Thorberg[1253]. The primary source which confirms that is correct has not been identified. Maybe it is speculative, based on the name of her son (“Rollin” [Rodolphe [V]] de Neuchâtel being her brother]. The chronology for this earlier marriage does not seem possible, given the birth of Gérard’s son Rollin estimated to [1280?] and assuming that the marriage of the parents of Alexie de Neuchâtel is correctly dated to [19 Dec 1269/70?] (follow her hyperlink). In addition, Alexie was recorded in Jun 1329 with a son named Rollin by her [second] husband. Gérard & his wife had one child:

i) ROLLIN d’Estavayer ([1280?]-before Feb [1321]). His birth date is estimated from the estimated birth date of his son. “Rolinus filius quondam Girardi condomini de Estavaye” swore allegiance to “Petro condomino de Estavaye militi” for property “ultra Juram...et a castro de Vaumarcuys usque ad villam de Colomberio”, except “in castro de Gorgie et...in parrochia de Ponterousa”, with the consent of “Alesie matris et tutricis sue, domine Ysabelle avie sue et Jacobi avunculi sui”, by charter dated 17 Oct 1299, witnessed by “...dominus Otho de Bono vilario miles, Richardus filius quondam Wulliermi condomini de Estavaye, curatus de Belfoz...”[1254]. He was named as deceased in the Feb 1320 (O.S.?) testament of “Renaud d’Estavayer” (see above)[1255]. m ([1300/04?]) MARIE, daughter of --- (-after 8 May 1351). “Marie veuve de Rollin coseigneur d’Estavayer” donated property to Estavayer, with the consent of ”Jean et Jacques ses fils”, by charter dated 14 Apr 1324[1256]. She was named (as living) in her son’s 14 Feb 1335 (O.S.) charter cited below. Chabloz names Marie as daughter of Pierre [I] Co-seigneur d’Estavayer (no source cited)[1257]. Estavayer records “Marie de Joux”, daughter of Henri Seigneur de Joux & his wife Guillemette de Montbéliard, as the wife of “Rollin co-seigneur d’Estavayé damoisel”, citing the following document: “Pierre co-seigneur d’Estavayé chevalier fils de feu Perrod” declared a debt owed to “Marie de Joux sa chère tante veuve de Rollin co-seigneur d’Estavayé”, naming “caution Arthaud d’Estavayé chevalier son frère co-seigneur de Gorgier” by charter dated 8 May 1351[1258]. However, it is possible that “tante” in this document was used in an extended sense and that Marie was not the debtor’s maternal aunt. Rollin & his wife had children:

(1) JEAN d’Estavayer ([1305/07?]-). His birth date is estimated on the assumption that he was older than his sister Agnès, but bearing in mind that he was under age in the following document. “Jean, fils de feu Rollin, coseigneur d’Estavayer”, with the consent of ”Vuillelme fils de feu Renaud coseigneur, so tuteur”, granted property to “sa sœur Agnès” by charter dated [before 25] Dec 1322[1259]. “Marie veuve de Rollin coseigneur d’Estavayer” donated property to Estavayer, with the consent of ”Jean et Jacques ses fils”, by charter dated 14 Apr 1324[1260]. “Jean coseigneur d’Estavayer, fils de feu Rollin” sold property to ”Henri fils du coseigneur défunt Vuillelme”, with the consent of “Vuillelme, aussi coseigneur et fils du chevalier Renaud”, by charter dated 5 Jan 1327 (O.S.)[1261]. “Johannes filius quondam Rolini condomini de Estavaye domicelli” sold “castrum meum...Guorgie...” to “Petro condomino de Estavayer...domino et consanguineo meo, filio quondam Perrodi nati bone memorie domini Petri condomini de Estavayer militis”, making further arrangements for after the death of “Maria matre mea”, by charter dated 14 Feb 1335 (O.S.?)[1262]. “Petrus, condominus de Estavaie, miles...” swore allegiance to “Ludovico de Sabaudia, domino Waudi” for “castrum de Gorgie”, noting the interests of “liberi Rolini condomini de Estavaie quondam...Johanne et Jaqueto filiis quondam dicti Rolini...”, by charter dated 7 Jun 1340[1263].

(2) JACQUES dÉstevayer . “Marie veuve de Rollin coseigneur d’Estavayer” donated property to Estavayer, with the consent of ”Jean et Jacques ses fils”, by charter dated 14 Apr 1324[1264]. “Petrus, condominus de Estavaie, miles...” swore allegiance to “Ludovico de Sabaudia, domino Waudi” for “castrum de Gorgie”, noting the interests of “liberi Rolini condomini de Estavaie quondam...Johanne et Jaqueto filiis quondam dicti Rolini...”, by charter dated 7 Jun 1340[1265]. “Jacobus de Staviaco, filius quondam Rolini condomini de Staviaco, domicelli” swore allegiance to “Rodulphi comitis et domini Novi Castri” for certain annual revenue by charter dated 27 Feb 1341 (O.S.)[1266].

(3) AGNES d’Estavayer ([1307/08]-). “Jean, fils de feu Rollin, coseigneur d’Estavayer”, with the consent of ”Vuillelme fils de feu Renaud coseigneur, so tuteur”, granted property to “sa sœur Agnès” by charter dated [before 25] Dec 1322[1267]. “Agnès, fille de feu Rollin, coseigneur d’Estavayer, âgée de quatorze ans, majeure” donated ”censes annuelles...avec deux muids de froment qui lui avaient été assignés pour sa dot par son frère Jean, sur le moulin près de Lully” by undated charter[1268].

(4) ELEONORE d’Estavayer . “Jean fils de feu Rollin, coseigneur d’Estavayer” sold rights in a wood to “Mermet dit Bel”, while “Eléonore sœur de Jean, ayant sa part de ces bois” also sold her share by charter dated 16 Jul 1335[1269].

b) JACQUES d’Estavayer (-after 17 Oct 1299). He is named as uncle of Rolin d’Estavayer in the 17 Oct 1299 charter cited above.

5. AUDE d’Estavayer . She is named as Renaud’s son in the 18 Oct 1230 charter cited above.

6. CLEMENCE d’Estavayer . She is named as Renaud’s son in the 18 Oct 1230 charter cited above.

7. PETRONILLE d’Estavayer . She is named as Renaud’s son in the 18 Oct 1230 charter cited above.

Members of the Estavayer family, belonging either to the senior or junior branch: the primary sources so far identified in which they are named are inconclusive in deciding their precise family connection.

Two possible brothers. Their sibling relationship is suggested by their both being named in 1270 as indicated below. The corresponding document has not been found (it is not mentioned by either Grangier or Chabloz), so it has not been possible to verify whether it specifies a family relationship between them, or even names their father. Europäische Stammtafeln says that they were sons of Renaud [II] of the junior branch of the Estavayer family[1270]. If that is correct, they would presumably have been born after the 18 Oct 1230 charter in which Renaud’s seven known children are named. Europäische Stammtafeln also names “Pierre I, 1270 cosn. d’Estavayer”, identifying him (incorrectly?) as the second son of Renaud [II], which suggests that he was named in the same document with Jean [I] and Renaud [III]. Renaud [III]’s widow is named with her second husband in Salins, which suggests a family connection with Pierre [II] d’Estavayer (see below) who also moved to Salins. As noted below, Chabloz says that Pierre [II] was the son of Jean [II] (although it is not certain that he is correct). If Chabloz is right, presumably it is not impossible that Jean [I] and Renaud [III] were in fact the same persons as Jean [II] and his brother Renaud [IV] (assuming that Jeanne de Joux was the latter’s second wife): maybe they had another brother named Pierre who is unrecorded in other sources. Until more information comes to light, Jean [I] and Renaud [III] are shown separately with parents unknown.

1. JEAN [I] d’Estavayer (-after 1284). Europäische Stammtafeln shows “Jehan I, 1270 cosn. d’Estavayer, 1266/84” as the son of Renaud [II][1271]. The sources to which these dates refer have not been identified.

2. RENAUD [III] d’Estavayer (-after 1270). Europäische Stammtafeln shows “Reynald III, 1270 cosn. d’Estavayer”[1272]. [“...Renaldi condomini de Estavayer” sealed the 15 Apr 1268 charter which records the settlement of a dispute between the prior of Bevaix and “dominam Sibillam matrem Jacobi condomini de Estavayer, et dominum Girardum de Rupeforti et dominum Petrum de Asnens militem”[1273]. It is not known whether this document refers to Renaud [III] or Renaud [IV], or indeed whether the two were in fact the same person as discussed above.] m (before 1269) as her first husband, JEANNE de Joux, daughter of --- (-after 1304). The Archives héraldiques suisses names “Jehanne de Joux” as mother of Anne, as noted below. She married secondly Jean Ferrier. Europäische Stammtafeln records her family origin and two marriages[1274]. She has not been found in Estavayer’s study of the seigneurs de Joux[1275]. Her family origin and second marriage are confirmed, and her first marriage indicated, by the following document: Othon Comte Palatin de Bourgogne sold “la moitié indivivise de la Vicomté de Salins, pour dix livres de rente sur la saunerie de Salins” to “Dame Jeanne de Joux, dame d’Estavayer et à messire Jean Ferrier son mari” by charter dated [after 23] Apr 1304[1276]. Jeanne and Jean appear to be the same couple who are named in the following document: the testament of “Othoninus Morelli, de Salinis, Lincolniensis et Sancti Anatolii Salinensis ecclesiarum canonicus scolasticusque...”, dated 14 Oct 1343, bequeathed “totum jus michi...quod acquisivi a domina Elienor, filia quondam domini Johannis, dicti Ferrier, militis salinensis, et domina Johanna de Jura, uxore sua” to “domine mee, domine ducisse Burgondie...dominique de Salinis...de litte mota inter dominum Petrum cundam d’Estavayey et comparticipes...”[1277]. Renaud [III] & his wife had one child:

a) ANNE d’Estavayer ([before 1269?]-28 Jul [1315 or after]). The Archives héraldiques suisses records her parentage and notes that she was a nun at Maigrange (Fribourg) where she was abbess from 1289 to 1315, and died “28 VII”[1278]. Her birth date is estimated on the assumption that Anne would not have been installed as abbess if she was younger than 20 years old.

Two brothers. Europäische Stammtafeln names them as sons of Guillaume [II] d’Estavayer (junior branch) who is named above[1279]. On the other hand, Chabloz named Pierre [I] as the son of Jean [II] d’Estavayer, son of Conon [II] (of the senior branch, see above), noting that both Jean (22 Jan 1266 (O.S.) charter, see above) and Pierre (30 Mar 1311 (O.S.?) charter, see below) “tenait en fief de Rodolphe de Neuchâtel...la pêche de l’Areuse, du Gor dit Communal jusqu’au lac”[1280]. At first sight, Chabloz’s suggestion seems plausible. However, other documents cited here show the different branches of the Estavayer family exchanging properties from time to time: maybe this was the case with the fishing rights in the Areuse. Until more information comes to light, the father of Pierre [I] and Guillaume is shown as unknown.

1. --- d’Estavayer ). The possible identity of this person is discussed above. m ([1248/54?]) --- [de Grandson], daughter of --- ([1230/40?]-). This supposed person’s marriage and Grandson connection are indicated by the 3 Jul 1290 document, cited below, in which Othon de Grandson granted properties in Ireland to her Pierre [II]. Pierre’s brother Guillaume is also named as Othon’s “nephew” in the 1 Dec 1289 document cited below, and Othon as Guillaume’s “uncle” in the 8 Sep 1308 document. To explain these family relationships, Williams suggests that the father of Pierre [II] and Guillaume married an otherwise unrecorded sister of Othon de Grandson[1281], although (as is the case in trying to explain his family relationship with the other individuals named in primary sources as his “nephews”) it should be borne in mind that the term “nepos” could be used in an extended sense to indicate a more distant family relationship (either through the male or female lines) than nephew. Her marriage date (indicated by the likely birth date of Pierre [II]) suggests that, if she was the daughter of Pierre [I] de Grandson, she would have been one of his older children, maybe even born from his possible first marriage. Two children:

a) PIERRE [II] d’Estavayer ([1250/55?]-after 23 Jan 1322, bur Estavayer). His birth date is estimated assuming that he was a young adult when first named in 1280, and bearing in mind the likely birth dates of his son and grandchildren shown below. Co-seigneur d’Estavayer.

- see below.

b) GUILLAUME d’Estavayer (-[1324] or 20 Oct 1326, bur Estavayer). Kingsford says that Guillaume was the brother of Pierre d’Estavayer[1282]. The relationship is confirmed by Pierre’s 23 Jan [1321] testament. Pope Nicholas IV, by bull dated 5 Nov 1289, granted indult to “Gerard de Wippens, canon of York, at the request of his uncle Odo de Grandison” and to “William de Estravaco, canon at Wells, another nephew of the said Odo” to “hold [their] benefices for three years without being ordained priest, which term has now passed for several months, to have the time extended to five years...”[1283]. Pope Nicholas IV, by bull dated 1 Dec 1289, granted reservation to “William de Estanayco, of a canonry and prebend of Lincoln, nothwithstanding that he has canonries and prebends of Wells and St. Maurice’s, Llangadok, in the diocese f St. Davids, the church of Grenestede, in that of Chichester, and the parish church of Lanpadarnvaur, annexed to the prebend of St. Maurice”[1284]. An order dated 4 Jun 1290 names “king’s clerk...William de Estanayaco...”[1285]. Canon at Lausanne: “Girard, fils de feu Renaud, coseigneur d’Estavayer” sold his share in their father’s inheritance to ”son frère Conon, donzel...” by charter dated Jun 1291, witnessed by “Guillaume coseigneur d’Estavayer donzel [=Guillaume [III], uncle of the two brothers?], Girard coseigneur du dit lieu...” and sealed by “dom Guillaume coseigneur d’Estavayer et chanoine de Lausanne...”[1286]. Archdeacon of Lincoln: Le Neve records “William de Estiniaco, nominated by pope Nicholas IV in 1290” as archdeacon of Lincoln, adding that he exchanged the archdeaconry 13 Sep 1319 for the rectory of Stratford-upon-Avon with “John de Stratford”[1287]. An order dated 6 Mar 1297 listing “Protections” includes “...William de Estaniaco, archdeacon of Lincoln and parson of the church of Grenested”[1288]. Pope Clement V, by bull dated 8 Sep 1308, granted dispensation, at the request of “his uncle, Odo, lord of Grandison”, to “William de Estenaye, subdeacon, successively rector of Grenestode and of Lampadrewaur, in the dioceses of Chichester, and St. Davids, the latter of which he has resigned...to retain the same, and also the archdeaconry of Lincoln and canonries and prebends of Wells, and churches beyond the sea, and to be free from the obligation of being ordained priest for five years”[1289]. An order dated 16 Jun 1307 records “William de Estanye, archdeacon of Lincoln, staying beyond seas, nominating Richard de Wenlok and Simon Udde his attorneys for three years”, similar letters dated 8 Apr 1309, 30 Jun 1311, 8 Nov 1313 (“Master William de Estanyaco”), 3 May 1316, 16 Feb 1318, 4 Apr 1320 (“Master William de Staneye”), and 8 Apr 1323 (“William de Estaniaco” no office) also appointing attorneys while overseas[1290]. Pope Clement V, by bull dated 1 May 1311, granted indult, at the request of “Otto de Grandison, whose nephew he is” to “William de Estenayaco, archdeacon of Lincoln...to visit his archdeaconry by deputy for three years”[1291]. Seigneur de Surpierrre: “Guillaume d’Estavayé, archidiacre de Lincoln” bought “la seigneurie de Surpierre” from “[les] frères Louis, Humbert et Aymon [de Cossonay]”, who reserved the right of repurchase, and resold it in 1316 to “Othon seigneur de Grandson”[1292]. Grangier’s Annales d’Estavayer records that “Henri, Richard, Aymon et Wuillelme, fils de feu Wuillelme d’Estavayer” claimed ”le droit de bamp et de clames sur les ressortissants du coseigneur Conon” who claimed the same right, arbitrated by “Guillaume d’Estavayer, de l’archidiacre de Lincoln et de deux coseigneurs d’Estavayer, le chevalier Pierre, frère de Guillaume et leur cousin Reynald” who found in favour of Conon who compensated the four brothers, by charter dated [before 23] Apr 1318[1293]. Grangier also records “Guillaume l’archidiacre de Lincoln” making donations to Estavayer including revenue from property ”dans la ville et le territoire d’Avenches” by charter dated Dec 1318[1294]. Prebend of Coringham: Le Neve records “William de Estainaceo, succeeded about 1291” at Coringham, adding that his successor succeeded in 1324 “vice Estainaceo resigned”[1295]. An order dated 20 Jan 1319 records a “pardon to Simon de Beltoft for a disseisin committed upon William de Estaniaco, prebendary of Coringham in the church of St. Mary, Lincoln of [certain] tenements...”[1296]. The testament of “Petrus dictus d’Estavoier miles”, dated 23 Jan 1321 (O.S.), chose burial “in ecclesia dominarum d’Estavoir, lausanensis diocesis”, appointed as heir “filium meum...Petrum, dictum d’Estavoier”, and named as executors “dominum Guillermum fratrem meum, dominum Renardum d’Estavoier...“[1297]. A letter, included in a later copy of the early 14th century manuscript “Richard de Bury’s Letter Book”, from “William de Cusancia” to Henry Bishop of Lincoln requests permission for the exchange of offices between “William de Stanyaco, prebendary of Coringham in the church of Lincoln” and “William de Bono Vilario, the writer’s cousin, provost of the church Lausanensis”, in which he states that the former is “nephew of Lord Otho de Grandison”[1298]. Pope John XXII, by bull dated 29 Jul 1326, granted “reservation of the canonry and prebend of Corinham, in Lincoln, void by the death of William de Estaniaco, who was about to make an exchange with William de Bonovillario, provost of Lausanne, but died five days before his resignation, and on hearing this Bonovillario resigned the said canonry and prebend into which he was inducted” to “Renaud de Cusancia”[1299]. There is some difference about his date of death, as an epitaph at Estavayer records the burial of “dominus Guillelmus de Estavayé...archidiaconus linconiensis” who died 20 Oct 1326[1300].

PIERRE [II] d’Estavayer, son of --- d’Estavayer & his wife [--- de Grandson] ([1250/55?]-after 23 Jan 1322, bur Estavayer). His birth date is estimated assuming that he was a young adult when first named in 1280, and bearing in mind the likely birth dates of his son and grandchildren shown below. An order dated 6 Jan 1280 granted revenue “out of the farm of the manors of Drax and Rasene, co. York...” to “Perot Staneye and Guy Ferree, king’s yeomen”[1301], an order dated 7 Nov 1280 acquitting “John Bek for the payment to Peter de Staney, out of the issues of the manor of Rasene...”[1302], an order dated 1 Nov 1281 recording that “Peter de Estaney and Guy Ferre, king’s yeomen” acknowledged receipt from “John Bek...for the issues of the manor of West Rasen”[1303], and an order dated 20 May 1282 acquitting “John Bek” for the same payments made to “Peter de Staney, king’s yeoman”[1304]. An order dated 3 Jul 1290 confirmed a charter of “Otto de Grandison” granting stated properties in Okonagh and Tipperary, Ireland to “Peter de Estanayaco (or Estanayco), his nephew”, with remainder to “John de Estratelinges, called ‘Russelet’, another nephew of the said Otto”[1305]. An order dated 19 Jul 1290 records “Peter de Staney, going to the Holy Land, nominating John de Bruges and Roger de Wenlo for three years”[1306]. Kingsford says that Pierre went “with Othon [de Grandson] to Acre, and does not seem to have returned to England”[1307]. Co-seigneur d’Estavayer: Charrière names “Othon sire de Grandson...Pierre co-seigneur d’Estavayé...” among the allies of the bishop of Lausanne in the war with Louis de Savoie Baron de Vaud in 1295[1308]. An order dated 1 Apr 1298 records “Otto de Grandison, gone to the court of Rome on the king’s arduous affairs, nominating Peter de Stratelinges, knight, in Ireland, for three years”, and “Peter de Stanye, staying beyond seas, nominating Peter de Stratelenges in Ireland for two years”[1309]. “Rolinus filius quondam Girardi condomini de Estavaye” swore allegiance to “Petro condomino de Estavaye militi” for property “ultra Juram...et a castro de Vaumarcuys usque ad villam de Colomberio”, except “in castro de Gorgie et...in parrochia de Ponterousa”, by charter dated 17 Oct 1299[1310]. A charter dated [late Jun/early Jul] 1300, records peace between Louis de Savoie Comte de Vaud, the bishop of Lausanne and certain nobles of the pays de Vaud including “...Monsi Pierre dEstavay”[1311]. An order dated 25 Feb 1303 records “Peter de Staniaco, staying beyond seas, nominating Perrotus de Staniaco and William de Gyes for two years”[1312]. A charter dated 30 Mar 1311 (O.S.?) records the arbitration settling a dispute between Rodolphe Comte de Neuchâtel and “Petrus condominus de Estavaye” concerning “pischariam aque...Arousa...et...advocatiam totius ville de Aurousa”[1313]. “Rolinus condominus Staviaci filius quondam Girardi condomini dicti loci” sold “totam advocatiam de Pontarousa et de Warmondens cum...piscarie aque...Arousa” to “Rodolpho comiti et domino Novi Castri”, with the consent of “Marie uxoris mee”, by charter dated Jun 1313, sealed by “domini Petri patris mei dicte Marie et domini Renaldi patrui nostri condominorum Staviaci...”[1314]. Grangier’s Annales d’Estavayer records that “Henri, Richard, Aymon et Wuillelme, fils de feu Wuillelme d’Estavayer” claimed ”le droit de bamp et de clames sur les ressortissants du coseigneur Conon” who claimed the same right, arbitrated by “Guillaume d’Estavayer, de l’archidiacre de Lincoln et de deux coseigneurs d’Estavayer, le chevalier Pierre, frère de Guillaume et leur cousin Reynald” who found in favour of Conon who compensated the four brothers, by charter dated [before 23] Apr 1318[1315]. The testament of “Petrus dictus d’Estavoier miles”, dated 23 Jan 1321 (O.S.), chose burial “in ecclesia dominarum d’Estavoir, lausanensis diocesis”, appointed as heir “filium meum...Petrum, dictum d’Estavoier”, and named as executors “dominum Guillermum fratrem meum, dominum Renardum d’Estavoier...“[1316]. Chabloz records his burial “à Estavayer...dans l’église du couvent des Dominicains” (no source cited)[1317].

m JEANNE de Font, daughter of ---. Grangier’s Annales d’Estavayer records the testament of “Jeanne de Font, épouse de Pierre d’Estavayer chevalier”, dated 1319, and ”pour satisfaire aux volontés de sa défunte épouse, Pierre, du consentement de son fils Perrod” donating revenue from “son fief de St-Aubin (Neuchâtel)...[et du] sel...aux salines de Salins” to Estavayer by charter dated Sep 1318, sealed by “les deux coseigneurs et chevaliers Pierre et Reynald d’Estavayer”[1318]. [Europäische Stammtafeln names “Jeanne de Joux test. 24 Jun 1319 T v Henri II Sire de J” as wife of Pierre [II][1319]. This appears to be based on a misinterpretation of Estavayer’s suggestion that the same “Jeanne de Joux” married [Pierre [II]’s son] “Perrod damoisel co-seigneur d’Estavayé et de Gorgier, mort en 1337”, which as noted below appears itself to be based on a misinterpretation of the charter dated 8 May 1351.

Pierre [II] & his wife had one child:

1. PIERRE [III] d’Estavayer ([before 1280?]-[1322] or before 19 Aug 1337). His birth date is estimated on the assumption that he was adult when named in the 25 Feb 1303 document cited below. An order dated 25 Feb 1303 records “Peter de Staniaco, staying beyond seas, nominating Perrotus de Staniaco and William de Gyes for two years”[1320]. The testament of “Petrus dictus d’Estavoier miles”, dated 23 Jan 1321 (O.S.), chose burial “in ecclesia dominarum d’Estavoir, lausanensis diocesis”, appointed as heir “filium meum...Petrum, dictum d’Estavoier”, and named as executors “dominum Guillermum fratrem meum, dominum Renardum d’Estavoier...“[1321]. Chabloz records his death “jeune, en 1322” (no source cited)[1322]. He is named as deceased in the 19 Aug 1337 charter which names his sons, quoted below. m as her first husband, ISABELLE d’Oroz, daughter of --- (-after Aug 1331). Robert records “Humbert de Vuillafans, fils de Hugues” who married “Isabeau d’Oroz, qui avait été mariée en premières noces avec Perrot d’Estavayer”, whose testament is dated Aug 1331 [date presumably incorrect][1323]. Europäische Stammtafeln names “Isabelle de Lucinge T v (Raymond u Agnès de Duyn)” as the wife of Pierre [III], and her possible second marriage to “Rodolphe d’Oron sn d’Attalens test 1358”[1324]. [On the other hand, Abbé Guillaume records Isabelle as the daughter of Dimanche de Salins [Domenico Asinier][1325], which is unlikely to be correct as she is not named as his daughter in the testament of “Dominicus de Salino miles” dated 18 Jan 1337 (O.S.)[1326]. A completely different marriage is indicated by Estavayer who records “Jeanne de Joux”, daughter of Henri Seigneur de Joux & his wife Guillemette de Montbéliard, as the wife of “Perrod damoisel co-seigneur d’Estavayé et de Gorgier, mort en 1337” [presumably Pierre [III]], with “leurs enfants, Pierre, Arthaud, Guillaume, Philippe, Girard, Jean et Catherine...nommés dans l’acte...[du] 9 août 1337”[1327]. He cites the 8 May 1351 charter recorded below under Pierre [IV], although the phrase “ma tante” in that document may have been used in an extended sense and not referred to his maternal aunt at all.] Pierre [III] & his wife had [seven] children:

a) ALTHAUD d’Estavayer ([before 1310?]-after 8 May 1351). His birth date is suggested on the assumption that he and his brothers were all adult at the time of the 19 Aug 1337 charter cited below. “Althaudus, Philipus, Guilliermus, Girardus et Petrus fratres, liberi quondam Perrodi condomini de Estavaye, domicelli” recorded that “dicti Althaudi” had acquired “castrum...de Gorgier quondam Perrodi patris mei predicti” as a result of a family agreement and swore allegiance to “predicti Petri fratris mei” for the fief, noting the rights of “Johannes Rolini condominus de Estavaye”, of the other three brothers, of “sororem nostram Katerinam” for her marriage, and of “Johannem fratrem nostrum”, by charter dated 19 Aug 1337[1328]. “Petrus, condominus de Estavaie, miles, filius quondam Perrodi condomini de Estavaie, domicelli” swore allegiance to “Ludovico de Sabaudia, domino Waudi” for “castrum de Gorgie”, with the consent of “domini Altaudi militis, fratris mei”, noting the interests of “liberi Rolini condomini de Estavaie quondam...Johanne et Jaqueto filiis quondam dicti Rolini...”, by charter dated 7 Jun 1340[1329]. “Pierre co-seigneur d’Estavayé chevalier fils de feu Perrod” declared a debt owed to “Marie de Joux sa chère tante veuve de Rollin co-seigneur d’Estavayé”, naming “caution Arthaud d’Estavayé chevalier son frère co-seigneur de Gorgier” by charter dated 8 May 1351[1330].

b) PHILIPPE d’Estavayer . “Althaudus, Philipus, Guilliermus, Girardus et Petrus fratres, liberi quondam Perrodi condomini de Estavaye, domicelli” recorded that “dicti Althaudi” had acquired “castrum...de Gorgier quondam Perrodi patris mei predicti” as a result of a family agreement and swore allegiance to “predicti Petri fratris mei” for the fief, noting the rights of “Johannes Rolini condominus de Estavaye”, of the other three brothers, of “sororem nostram Katerinam” for her marriage, and of “Johannem fratrem nostrum”, by charter dated 19 Aug 1337[1331].

c) GUILLAUME d’Estavayer . “Althaudus, Philipus, Guilliermus, Girardus et Petrus fratres, liberi quondam Perrodi condomini de Estavaye, domicelli” recorded that “dicti Althaudi” had acquired “castrum...de Gorgier quondam Perrodi patris mei predicti” as a result of a family agreement and swore allegiance to “predicti Petri fratris mei” for the fief, noting the rights of “Johannes Rolini condominus de Estavaye”, of the other three brothers, of “sororem nostram Katerinam” for her marriage, and of “Johannem fratrem nostrum”, by charter dated 19 Aug 1337[1332].

d) GERARD d’Estavayer . “Althaudus, Philipus, Guilliermus, Girardus et Petrus fratres, liberi quondam Perrodi condomini de Estavaye, domicelli” recorded that “dicti Althaudi” had acquired “castrum...de Gorgier quondam Perrodi patris mei predicti” as a result of a family agreement and swore allegiance to “predicti Petri fratris mei” for the fief, noting the rights of “Johannes Rolini condominus de Estavaye”, of the other three brothers, of “sororem nostram Katerinam” for her marriage, and of “Johannem fratrem nostrum”, by charter dated 19 Aug 1337[1333].

e) PIERRE [IV] d’Estavayer (-[16 Nov 1377/1 Jul 1378]). “Aymon et Wuillelme coseigneurs d’Estavayer” sealed a charter dated 19 Dec 1334 and “y placèrent aussi celui de Pierre fils de feu Perrod, dont ils étaient tuteurs”[1334]. “Althaudus, Philipus, Guilliermus, Girardus et Petrus fratres, liberi quondam Perrodi condomini de Estavaye, domicelli” recorded that “dicti Althaudi” had acquired “castrum...de Gorgier quondam Perrodi patris mei predicti” as a result of a family agreement and swore allegiance to “predicti Petri fratris mei” for the fief, noting the rights of “Johannes Rolini condominus de Estavaye”, of the other three brothers, of “sororem nostram Katerinam” for her marriage, and of “Johannem fratrem nostrum”, by charter dated 19 Aug 1337[1335]. “Petrus, condominus de Estavaie, miles, filius quondam Perrodi condomini de Estavaie, domicelli” swore allegiance to “Ludovico de Sabaudia, domino Waudi” for “castrum de Gorgie”, with the consent of “domini Altaudi militis, fratris mei”, noting the interests of “liberi Rolini condomini de Estavaie quondam...Johanne et Jaqueto filiis quondam dicti Rolini...”, by charter dated 7 Jun 1340[1336]. “Pierre co-seigneur d’Estavayé chevalier fils de feu Perrod” declared a debt owed to “Marie de Joux sa chère tante veuve de Rollin co-seigneur d’Estavayé”, naming “caution Arthaud d’Estavayé chevalier son frère co-seigneur de Gorgier” by charter dated 8 May 1351[1337]. m firstly GUILLEMETTE de Salins, daughter of DOMENICO de Salins & his wife Isabelle [de la Roche-l’Oignon] (-after 23 May 1349). Her father’s 18 Jan 1337 (O.S.?) testament confirmed donations to “…filiabus meis domine Guie […domino Guillelmo de Chamdevers, militi, et dicte domine Guye, ejus uxori, filie mee], Alidi, Johannete, Guillemete et Guiete, cordigere”[1338]. Abbé Guillaume records her parentage and marriage (no sources cited)[1339]. Europäische Stammtafeln records her testament dated 23 May 1349 and her death after 12 Jul 1349[1340]. m secondly (before 24 Aug 1355) ---. Pierre & his first wife had three children:

- Co-SEIGNEURS d’ESTAVAYER, SEIGNEURS de CHENAIX[1341].

f) CATHERINE d’Estavayer . “Althaudus, Philipus, Guilliermus, Girardus et Petrus fratres, liberi quondam Perrodi condomini de Estavaye, domicelli” recorded that “dicti Althaudi” had acquired “castrum...de Gorgier quondam Perrodi patris mei predicti” as a result of a family agreement and swore allegiance to “predicti Petri fratris mei” for the fief, noting the rights of “Johannes Rolini condominus de Estavaye”, of the other three brothers, of “sororem nostram Katerinam” for her marriage, and of “Johannem fratrem nostrum”, by charter dated 19 Aug 1337[1342].

g) [JEAN d’Estavayer . “Althaudus, Philipus, Guilliermus, Girardus et Petrus fratres, liberi quondam Perrodi condomini de Estavaye, domicelli” recorded that “dicti Althaudi” had acquired “castrum...de Gorgier quondam Perrodi patris mei predicti” as a result of a family agreement and swore allegiance to “predicti Petri fratris mei” for the fief, noting the rights of “Johannes Rolini condominus de Estavaye”, of the other three brothers, of “sororem nostram Katerinam” for her marriage, and of “Johannem fratrem nostrum”, by charter dated 19 Aug 1337[1343].]

Chabloz names “Raynald IV [presumably indicating Renaud [V] who is named below] et Guillaume ou Wilhelm IV” as sons of Jean [II] d’Estavayer, of the senior branch, and brothers of Pierre [II] d’Estavayer who is shown above, noting that Guillaume was canon at Lausanne in 1291 (therefore equating him with Pierre [II]’s brother who is shown above)[1344]. Europäische Stammtafeln names Renaud [V], Conon and Guillaume [IV] as sons of Jacques d’Estavayer by his supposed first wife Jordane de Grandson/La Sarraz[1345]. If that is correct, Renaud [V] would have been born in the 1240s and would therefore have been old for his first mention in 1288 (see below) and his death in [1321/22]. His birth in the 1240s also seems incompatible with his grandson Pierre being recorded as a minor in 1339, as shown below. Nevertheless, the [before 25] Dec 1322 cited below shows Guillaume [VI] as guardian of the son of Rollin d’Estavayer (of the junior branch), which suggests that Renaud [V] may also have been belonged to the junior branch.

1. RENAUD [V] d’Estavayer (-[24 Jan 1321/23 Dec 1322]). Europäische Stammtafeln names “Renaud [V], 1291 cosn d’Estavayer 1305 Rr u châtelain de Romont, 1288...”[1346]. The primary sources associated with these dates have not been identified. A 1315 charter records an arbitration between “Ludovicus de Sabaudie dominus Vaudi” and “...filios quondam Wilhelmi de Billens...” and the role of “dominum Raynaldum condominum de Estavaye”[1347]. “Henri, Richard, Aymon et Wuillelme, fils de feu Wuillelme d’Estavayer” claimed ”le droit de bamp et de clames sur les ressortissants du coseigneur Conon” who claimed the same right, arbitrated by “Guillaume d’Estavayer, de l’archidiacre de Lincoln et de deux coseigneurs d’Estavayer, le chevalier Pierre, frère de Guillaume et leur cousin Reynald [presumably Renaud [V]]” who found in favour of Conon, who compensated the four brothers, by charter dated [before 23] Apr 1318[1348]. The testament of “Renaud d’Estavayer”, dated Feb 1320 (O.S.?), bequeathed ”castrum meum de Stavay...le fief que tiennent...les enfants de feu Rollin, coseigneur d’Estavayer” to “son fils Vuillelme”, to “Gérard...[property] de Cugy, de Vesin, de Granges, de Ménières...”, to “Aymon son troisième fils, sa maison du vieux château d’Estavayer...située auprès de celle du coseigneur Henri...”, and to “sa fille Amphilixie, religieuse dominicaine à Estavayer...”[1349]. He was named as deceased in the [before 25] Dec 1322 charter cited below under his son. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Renaud’s wife has not been identified. Renaud [V] & his wife had children:

a) GUILLAUME [VI] d’Estavayer . He is named in his father’s Feb 1320 (O.S.?) testament cited above. “Jean, fils de feu Rollin, coseigneur d’Estavayer” named ”Vuillelme fils de feu Renaud coseigneur, so tuteur”, in a charter dated [before 25] Dec 1322[1350]. “Jean coseigneur d’Estavayer, fils de feu Rollin” sold property to ”Henri fils du coseigneur défunt Vuillelme”, with the consent of “Vuillelme, aussi coseigneur et fils du chevalier Renaud”, by charter dated 5 Jan 1327 (O.S.)[1351]. “Guillelmus condominus de Estavaye filius quondam Reynardi militis condomini dicti loci” sold serfs and various rights to “Ludovico comiti et domino Novi Castri” by charter dated 23 Mar 1342 (O.S.)[1352].

b) GERARD d’Estavayer (-killed Laupen 21 Jun 1339). He is named in his father’s Feb 1320 (O.S.?) testament cited above. “Girard d’Estavayer donzel, fils de feu Reynald, chevalier” sold property to Estavayer convent by charter dated 7 May 1333, sealed by “Vuillelme, coseigneur d’Estavayer, frère de Girard...”[1353]. Seigneur de Cugy. His date and place of death are recorded in the 1339 charter cited under his wife. m ISABELLE d’Illens, daughter of ---. A charter dated 1339 records compensation paid by the town of Payerne, under a decision dated 8 Jun 1338, to “Girard d’Estavayer seigneur de Cugy et...aux coseigneurs Aymon, Villelme et Pierre, ainsi qu’à Jean fils de Rollin”, part paid 14 Aug 1339 to “Isabelle d’Illens, veuve de Girard de Cugy et tutrice de son fils Pierre”, in the presence of “Vuillelme d’Estavayer, oncle de Pierre”, recording that “Girard de Cugy avait été tué à Laupen le 21 juin 1339”[1354]. Gérard & his wife had one child:

i) PIERRE d’Estavayer . He is named as a minor in the 1339 charter cited above under his mother.

- SEIGNEURS de CUGY[1355].

c) AIMON d’Estavayer . He is named in his father’s Feb 1320 (O.S.?) testament cited above.

G. SEIGNEURS de GRANDSON

The small town of Grandson is located “dans les confins du Mont-Jura” between the cantons of Bern and Fribourg, on the western shore of Lake Neuchâtel, in present-day Switzerland[1356]. Champvent, another family property, is located a few kilometres west of Grandson. The Grandson family also held two significant properties in the present-day Swiss canton of Vaud with which junior branches of the family were enfeoffed, as will be seen below: La Sarraz (a few kilometres south-east of Romainmôtier abbey, a similar distance north of Cossonay, and about 20 kilometres north-west of Lausanne) and Belmont (now Belmont-sur-Yverdon, about 5 kilometres south of Grandson[1357]).

Until the mid-12th century, the sources record both the descendants of Lambert and of Adalbert as seigneurs de Grandson. It is likely that the two families were closely related, but the primary sources which confirm this relationship have not been identified: some ideas are discussed below. No indication has been found about how power at Grandson was shared between the two families. David Williams has studied the Grandson families in great detail in several recent, well-argued, articles which are referenced below. He has also discussed many difficult aspects of the family reconstruction with me. His expertise has been invaluable in drafting the following latest version of this section.

The ancestry of Adalbert de Grandson and Lambert de Grandson, ancestors of the two branches of the seigneurie de Grandson, is not known. Gingins-La-Sarraz identifies Lambert as the “dernier comte laïque du Pays-de-Vaud” (Lambert [II] Comte [de Vaud]), noting that, having fallen into disgrace, Rudolf III King of Burgundy in 1011 deprived him of his county which he granted to the bishop of Lausanne (no source cited)[1358]. Gingins-La-Sarraz’s suggestion appears impossible from a chronological point of view: Comte Lambert is named between [1001/02] and 1018, whereas the sons of Lambert de Grandson survived well into the 12th century. Charrière names “Adalbert et Lambert auteurs de deux branches de [la] famille [de Grandson]” as sons of Comte Lambert [II], recording in later passages the descendants of Adalbert as “la branche aînée” and of Lambert as “la branche cadette”[1359]. While a close relationship between the Vaud and Grandson families is indicated by both using the names Lambert and Adalbert, the chronology suggests that Lambert de Grandson belonged to a later generation than Adalbert (in another passage Charrière names Lambert “neveu du sénieur Adalbert”[1360]). For presentational purposes, they are shown below as possible uncle and nephew. Lambert’s descendants are recorded as “seigneur de Grandson” from [1110/11], suggesting a family agreement with the descendants of Adalbert to share the seigneurie. No trace of such agreement has been found.

Two possible brothers:

1. ADALBERT de Grandson ([before 1025?]-after 27 Sep 1049). His birth date is estimated on the assumption that he was adult during his dispute with Romainmôtier. Seigneur de Grandson: an undated charter which names “Gregorius episcopus” [Pope Gregory VI 1045-1047], addressed to Odilo Abbot of Cluny [994-1049], reports attacks on Romainmôtier by “Adalbertus princeps castri Grantionensis cum suis militibus”[1361]. An undated charter, maybe dated to 27 Sep 1049, records [presumably the same] dispute between Romainmôtier and “Adalbertus” regarding “villa...Ferrarius” taken by “senior Adalbertus”, naming “domnus Otto filius eius”[1362]. Charrière analyses this dispute in detail[1363]. Adalbert is named as father of Othon, Conon and Rigaud in the [1075/87] charter quoted below.

- see below, SEIGNEURS de GRANDSON (line of ADALBERT).

2. [--- de Grandson .] m ---. One child:

a) LAMBERT de Grandson ([before 1045?]-[1090?]). [Comte] de Grandson. He is named as father of Lambert Bishop of Lausanne in the Gesta Episcoporum Lausannensium, quoted below, in which the bishop is named “Lambertus filius Lamberti comitis de Granzun”. No indication has been found that Lambert used this title during his lifetime or that Grandson was ever recognised as a county. Charrière suggests that “le titre de comte que le cartulaire lui attribue par courtoisie est une réminiscence de la dignité que son aïeul Lambert avait occupée” [assuming Lambert’s descent from Lambert [II] Comte [de Vaud] as discussed above][1364]. No document has been found which names Lambert in his own capacity. No indication has been found of his date of death, although his being named as father of Bishop Lambert in 1090 suggests that he may still have been alive at the time. Considering that his son Conon was named in [1139/48], and in light of his son Lambert’s episcopal appointment in 1090, it is unlikely that Lambert was born later than [1045].

- see below, SEIGNEURS de GRANDSON (line of LAMBERT).

LAMBERT de Grandson, son of --- ([before 1045?]-[1090?]). [Comte] de Grandson. He is named as father of Lambert Bishop of Lausanne in the Gesta Episcoporum Lausannensium, quoted below, in which the bishop is named “Lambertus filius Lamberti comitis de Granzun”. No indication has been found that Lambert used this title during his lifetime or that Grandson was ever recognised as a county. Charrière suggests that “le titre de comte que le cartulaire lui attribue par courtoisie est une réminiscence de la dignité que son aïeul Lambert avait occupée” [assuming Lambert’s descent from Lambert [II] Comte [de Vaud] as he suggested in an earlier passage as discussed above][1365]. No document has been found which names Lambert in his own capacity. No indication has been found of his date of death, although his being named as father of Bishop Lambert in 1090 suggests that he may still have been alive at the time, although his absence from the [1090] charter quoted below which names his four sons suggests that he died soon afterwards. Considering that his son Conon was named in [1139/48] (see below), and in light of his son Lambert’s episcopal appointment in 1090, it is unlikely that Lambert was born later than [1045].

m ---. The name of Lambert’s wife is not known. She may have been related to Eldegarde , wife of Othon Avoué de Saint-Maurice d’Agaune. Eldegarde’s connection with the Grandson family is indicated by the [1090] charter quoted below in which her son Amédée is named “nepos” of Lambert de Grandson Bishop of Lausanne. Charrière calls Bishop Lambert “oncle (maternel)” of Amédée, presumably interpreting “nepos” in its strict sense of nephew[1366]. If he is correct, Amédée’s mother would have been the bishop’s sister. However, the chronology is unfavorable, Amédée’s birth being estimated to [1050?] and the bishop’s father’s to [before 1045?] (both very approximate dates). Moreover, it seems more usual for rights in property (the serf in the [1090] charter) to be held jointly by collaterals, inherited from a common ancestor, than by four brothers with a sister (represented by her surviving son). “Nepos” in the [1090] charter probably therefore indicated a more distant family relationship than nephew. If that is correct, it is more likely that the relationship was on the maternal side of the Grandson family, in which case the four brothers and Amédée were descended from two sisters who shared the inheritance of their father.

Lambert & his wife had four children:

1. OLRY [Ulric] de Grandson (-after [1109?]). “Lambertus Lausonensis episcopus et frater meus Vldricus” donated a serf to Romainmôtier, with the support of “fratribus nostris Philippo et Conone et nepote nostro Amedeo”, by charter dated to [1090], witnessed by “Bencelino de Grancione...”[1367]. “Philippus de Grantione” renounced claims over serfs in favour of Romainmôtier by charter dated 24 Feb [1101 or 1107], witnessed by “Uldrico fratre suo de Grancione...”[1368]. “Odulricus de castro Grancione et fratres eius Philippus et Chono” witnessed the undated charter, dated to before 1109, under which “Narduinus..” donated property to Romainmôtier[1369]. same person as...? OLRY de Grandson (-after [1130]). “Eubolus de Grancione” relinquished rights “in terra sancti Petri...” in favour of Romainmôtier by undated charter, dated to [1130], witnessed by “Walcherius, Vldricus de Grancione...”[1370]. A charter dated 1140 records that “Ebalus Falconis de Grandissono filius” founded the abbey of the Lac-de-Joux, in the presence of “Vdricus de Grandissono...”[1371]. Presumably this charter was dated many years after the foundation.

2. LAMBERT de Grandson ([after 1065?]-after 1090). It is suggested that Lambert was his father’s second son as it seems unlikely that the oldest son would have entered the church. The Gesta Episcoporum Lausannensium records the election of “Lambertus filius Lamberti comitis de Granzun” as bishop of Lausanne[1372]. The cartulary of Notre-Dame de Lausanne records that “Lambertus…filius Lamberti comitis de Granzun” succeeded “Borcardus Lausannensis episcopus…filius comitis Bucconis de Oltudenges” [who was killed 24 Dec 1089] as bishop of Lausanne but was removed from office[1373]. “Lambertus Lausonensis episcopus et frater meus Vldricus” donated a serf to Romainmôtier, with the support of “fratribus nostris Philippo et Conone et nepote nostro Amedeo”, by charter dated to [1090], witnessed by “Bencelino de Grancione...”[1374].

3. PHILIPPE de Grandson (-after 14 Jun 1126, bur Romainmôtier). “Lambertus Lausonensis episcopus et frater meus Vldricus” donated a serf to Romainmôtier, with the support of “fratribus nostris Philippo et Conone et nepote nostro Amedeo”, by charter dated to [1090][1375]. “Odulricus de castro Grancione et fratres eius Philippus et Chono” witnessed the undated charter, dated to before 1109, under which “Narduinus..” donated property to Romainmôtier[1376]. Seigneur de Grandson. A charter dated [1110/11] records the damage caused to Romainmôtier by “donnus Philippus de Grantione et filii eius Falco, Cono, Walcherius” and the hearing before “donnum Walcherium, donnum Cononem de Grancione”[1377]. “Humbertus de Salinis...per manum domini Cononis de Grantione et domini Philippi fratris eius et Girardi de Longavilla” approved the donation made by Anseric Archbishop of Besançon to Romainmôtier of “ecclesia sancti Andreæ de Bannens” by charter dated 14 Jun 1126[1378]. His place of burial is confirmed by his son Falcon’s [1139/48] charter quoted below. m ---. The name of Philippe’s wife is not known. Philippe & his wife had three children:

a) FALCON de Grandson (-after 1154, maybe before [1158/60]). A charter dated [1110/11] records the damage caused to Romainmôtier by “donnus Philippus de Grantione et filii eius Falco, Cono, Walcherius” and the hearing before “donnum Walcherium, donnum Cononem de Grancione”[1379]. A charter dated 4 May [1130/35] records that, while living, “donnus Eubalus de Grantione” made various donations to Romainmôtier, with the consent of “coniuge eiusdem Eubali Adaleide...et filiis suis Eubalo, Bartholomeo, Raimundo”, witnessed by “Donnus Galcherius de Grantione...”, confirmed the day of his burial by his wife and sons (witnessed by “Aimone de Monte Falcone, Conone de Grantione, Falcone nepote eius et Conone fratre eius”)[1380]. Seigneur de Grandson. “Dominus Falco de Grantione et fratres eius” donated serfs to Romainmôtier, for the souls of “patris sui Philippi qui apud monasterium quiescit et...matris sue et decessorum suorum”, by charter dated to [1139/48], witnessed by “Cono de Granzione patruus eorum...”, later confirmed in front of the whole convent in the presence of “...Hugo clericus filius Cononis de Grancione...”[1381]. “Dominus Falco et Cono frater eius” transferred rights to certain serfs to Romainmôtier and to “domino de Grantione”, with the support of “uxor Falconis”, by charter dated 1154 in the presence of “...dominorum Grantionis Bartolomei, Gaucherii, Cononis, filiique eius Willelmi”[1382]. If the speculation about his sons below is correct, Falco died before [1158/60]. m --- (-after 1154). She is referred to but not named in the 1154 charter quoted above. Falcon & his wife had [three children]:

i) [HUGUES de Grandson . Seigneur de Grandson. “Donnus Iblo de Grantione et Jordanus frater eius” relinquished claims to certain serfs in favour of Romainmôtier, with the support of “matre eorum”, by charter dated to [1158/60], witnessed by “donnus Huo de Grantione, Willermus de Grantione, Willermus de Cicoin...Galcherius de Grantione...”[1383]. This document provides no indication of the parentage of the witnesses. The seigneurial title attributed to Hugues may indicate that he was successor, and probably son, of Falcon.]

ii) [GUILLAUME de Grandson . “Donnus Iblo de Grantione et Jordanus frater eius” relinquished claims to certain serfs in favour of Romainmôtier, with the support of “matre eorum”, by charter dated to [1158/60], witnessed by “donnus Huo de Grantione, Willermus de Grantione, Willermus de Cicoin...Galcherius de Grantione...”[1384]. This document provides no indication of the parentage of Hugues and Guillaume de Grandson. The seigneurial title attributed to the former may indicate that he was successor, and probably son, of Falcon. If that is correct, Guillaume may have been a younger brother of Hugues.]

iii) [GAUCHER de Grandson . “Donnus Iblo de Grantione et Jordanus frater eius” relinquished claims to certain serfs in favour of Romainmôtier, with the support of “matre eorum”, by charter dated to [1158/60], witnessed by “donnus Huo de Grantione, Willermus de Grantione, Willermus de Cicoin...Galcherius de Grantione...”[1385]. This document provides no indication of the parentage of Hugues and Guillaume de Grandson. The seigneurial title attributed to the former may indicate that he was successor, and probably son, of Falcon. If that is correct, Gaucher may have been another younger brother of Hugues.]

b) CONON de Grandson (-after 1154). A charter dated [1110/11] records the damage caused to Romainmôtier by “donnus Philippus de Grantione et filii eius Falco, Cono, Walcherius” and the hearing before “donnum Walcherium, donnum Cononem de Grancione”[1386]. A charter dated 4 May [1130/35] records that, while living, “donnus Eubalus de Grantione” made various donations to Romainmôtier, with the consent of “coniuge eiusdem Eubali Adaleide...et filiis suis Eubalo, Bartholomeo, Raimundo”, witnessed by “Donnus Galcherius de Grantione...”, confirmed the day of his burial by his wife and sons (witnessed by “Aimone de Monte Falcone, Conone de Grantione, Falcone nepote eius et Conone fratre eius”)[1387]. “Dominus Falco et Cono frater eius” transferred rights to certain serfs to Romainmôtier and to “domino de Grantione”, with the support of “uxor Falconis”, by charter dated 1154 in the presence of “...dominorum Grantionis Bartolomei, Gaucherii, Cononis, filiique eius Willelmi”[1388]. [A charter dated to [1160] records that “dominus Cono de Grancione” relinquished claims to certain serfs in favour of Romainmôtier[1389]. Presumably this charter could refer either to Conon son of Lambert or to Conon son of Philippe.]

c) GAUCHER de Grandson . A charter dated [1110/11] records the damage caused to Romainmôtier by “donnus Philippus de Grantione et filii eius Falco, Cono, Walcherius” and the hearing before “donnum Walcherium, donnum Cononem de Grancione”[1390].

4. CONON de Grandson (-after [1139/48]). “Lambertus Lausonensis episcopus et frater meus Vldricus” donated a serf to Romainmôtier, with the support of “fratribus nostris Philippo et Conone et nepote nostro Amedeo”, by charter dated to [1090][1391]. “Odulricus de castro Grancione et fratres eius Philippus et Chono” witnessed the undated charter, dated to before 1109, under which “Narduinus..” donated property to Romainmôtier[1392]. Seigneur de Grandson. “Humbertus de Salinis...per manum domini Cononis de Grantione et domini Philippi fratris eius et Girardi de Longavilla” approved the donation made by Anseric Archbishop of Besançon to Romainmôtier of “ecclesia sancti Andreæ de Bannens” by charter dated 14 Jun 1126[1393]. A charter dated 4 May [1130/35] records that, while living, “donnus Eubalus de Grantione” made various donations to Romainmôtier, with the consent of “coniuge eiusdem Eubali Adaleide...et filiis suis Eubalo, Bartholomeo, Raimundo”, witnessed by “Donnus Galcherius de Grantione...”, confirmed the day of his burial by his wife and sons (witnessed by “Aimone de Monte Falcone, Conone de Grantione, Falcone nepote eius et Conone fratre eius”)[1394]. “Dominus Falco de Grantione et fratres eius” donated serfs to Romainmôtier, for the souls of “patris sui Philippi qui apud monasterium quiescit et...matris sue et decessorum suorum”, by charter dated to [1139/48], witnessed by “Cono de Granzione patruus eorum...”[1395]. [A charter dated to [1160] records that “dominus Cono de Grancione” relinquished claims to certain serfs in favour of Romainmôtier[1396]. Presumably this charter could refer either to Conon son of Lambert or to Conon son of Philippe.] m ---. The name of Conon’s wife is not known. Conon & his wife had one child:

a) HUGUES de Grandson . “Dominus Falco de Grantione et fratres eius” donated serfs to Romainmôtier, for the souls of “patris sui Philippi qui apud monasterium quiescit et...matris sue et decessorum suorum”, by charter dated to [1139/48], witnessed by “Cono de Granzione patruus eorum...”, later confirmed in front of the whole convent in the presence of “...Hugo clericus filius Cononis de Grancione...”[1397].

The parentage of Huon de Grandson is uncertain. Charrière suggests that he was the son of Gaucher, son of Philippe de Grandson (descended from Lambert de Grandson, see above), rejecting a theory that his father was Gaucher, son of Ebles [I] de Grandson (descended from Adalbert de Grandson, ancestor of the other branch of the Grandson family which is shown below) which was favoured by “la collection de Mulinen”[1398]. While the chronology does not appear to favour Charrière’s suggestion (if Gaucher, son of Philippe was named in [1110/11], it is unlikely that his son would have died [1194/1213]), it would be unsurprising if Hugues was descended from another unidentified member of Lambert de Grandson’s line as both family branches are recorded as sharing the seigneurial title from [1110/11]. However, Huon named his older son “Ebles”, a name used among Adalbert’s descendants but which has not been found among the known descendants of Lambert de Grandson. As noted below, Gingins-La-Sarraz’s Annales du Lac-de-Joux record donations made by “Bartholomé seigneur de la Sarraz fils d’Ebald le fondateur” and “Hugues Seigneur de Grandson son petit-fils, neveu de Bartholomé”. Although at first sight the family relationship “neveu” suggests that both donors belonged to the same branch of the Grandson family, the term “nepos/neveu” could have been used in an extended sense which, in the case of Huon, could stretch to descendants of Lambert’s branch.

1. HUON de Grandson (-[1194/1213]). A charter dated 1177 records donations to Montheron made, among others, by “domnus Yeblo de Bellomonte” witnessed by “Huo de Gransum, Willelmus de Ciccuns...”, the witnesses donating property “in territorio de Buirum”[1399]. “Huo vir nobilis Grandissoni” donated property “et duas partes decime eiusdem terre...inter...Fyx usque ad Ysernum...” to Hautcrèt, with the support of “filius eius maior...Ebled...uxor eius in castro de Pringis, in aula domini Petri”, by charter dated 1179, witnessed by “...Jacomed [Johannes?] filius domni Petri de Cossonay...Postea filius eius minor...Walcherus laudavit apud Bonum montem...”[1400]. Seigneur de Grandson: Roger Bishop of Lausanne confirmed that “domini Huonis de Grancon” donated “locum...Lancea infra fines Concise” to Fontaine-André abbey, with the consent of “uxore et filiis Gualchero et Hebalo” and support of “Petro filio Gualcheri de Blonay”, by charter dated to [1194][1401]. Huon was presumably deceased in 1213, the date of his son Gaucher’s charter quoted below. m [--- de Cossonay, daughter of PIERRE Seigneur de Cossonay & his wife ---] (-after [1194]). Charrière records her marriage and suggests her parentage based on the 1179 document quoted above[1402]. Williams suggests that her appearance “in...Pringis, in aula domini Petris” in that charter suggests that her possible parentage as shown here is correct[1403]. She is referred to, but not named in her husband’s [1194] charter. Huon & his wife had two children:

a) EBLES de Grandson (-after 1179, maybe after [1194]). “Huo vir nobilis Grandissoni” donated property “et duas partes decime eiusdem terre...inter...Fyx usque ad Ysernum...” to Hautcrèt, with the support of “filius eius maior...Ebled...”, by charter dated 1179[1404]. Roger Bishop of Lausanne confirmed that “domini Huonis de Grancon” donated “locum...Lancea infra fines Concise” to Fontaine-André abbey, with the consent of “uxore et filiis Gualchero et Hebalo”, by charter dated to [1194][1405]. The reversal of the names Gaucher and Ebles in the [1194] document, compared with the 1179 charter, has not been explained unless Ebles who was named in 1179 had died and had been replaced by a younger son also named Ebles who was born after 1179.

b) GAUCHER de Grandson (-after 15 May 1219). “Huo vir nobilis Grandissoni” donated property “et duas partes decime eiusdem terre...inter...Fyx usque ad Ysernum...” to Hautcrèt by charter dated 1179, which adds in the witness list that “...Postea filius eius minor...Walcherus laudavit apud Bonum montem...”[1406]. Seigneur de Grandson: “...dominus Walcherus de Grandisono...” witnessed the 1213 charter under which “dominus Cono de Duan” acknowledged the wrong committed by “dominus Cunradus avunculus eius” against Cressier church[1407]. An undated charter records that Roger Bishop of Lausanne purchased property “apud Vilar comitis” [Villars-le-Comte] from “Walcherio de Granzon”[1408]. “Huo de Grancon” mortgaged property “apud Essertines” to Lausanne Notre-Dame and in 1216 claimed that he had repaid the principle (which the church denied)[1409]. “Walcherus de Grancon...” witnessed the charter dated 15 May 1219 under which “Iohannes dominus de Cossonaj” returned to Lausanne Notre-Dame a serf donated by “Petrus donnus pater suus” for “Isabella filia sua”[1410].

ADALBERT de Grandson, son of --- ([before 1125?]-after 27 Sep 1049). His birth date is estimated on the assumption that he was adult during his dispute with Romainmôtier. Seigneur de Grandson: an undated charter which names “Gregorius episcopus” [Pope Gregory VI 1045-1047], addressed to Odilo Abbot of Cluny [994-1049], reports attacks on Romainmôtier by “Adalbertus princeps castri Grantionensis cum suis militibus”[1411]. An undated charter, maybe dated to 27 Sep 1049, records [presumably the same] dispute between Romainmôtier and “Adalbertus” regarding “villa...Ferrarius” taken by “senior Adalbertus”, naming “domnus Otto filius eius”[1412]. Charrière analyses this dispute in detail[1413]. Adalbert is named as father of Othon, Conon and Rigaud in the [1075/87] charter quoted below.

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

Adalbert & his wife had three children:

1. OTHON (-after [1075/87]). An undated charter, maybe dated to 27 Sep 1049, records a dispute between Romainmôtier and “Adalbertus” regarding “villa...Ferrarius” taken by “senior Adalbertus”, naming “domnus Otto filius eius”[1414]. “Rigaldus” donated property “in villa Tritiniaco” to Romainmôtier, with the consent of “uxor mea Helena”, by charter dated to [1050/1100], witnessed by “Otto frater eius...”[1415]. “Rigaldus miles de Grantione filius Adalberti” donated serfs to Romainmôtier, when “filio nostro Petro” entered the convent, with the consent of “uxore mea Helena et filiis meis Ottone, Ademaro, Artaldo atque Jarentone et fratribus meis Ottone atque Conone qui et Falco”, by charter dated to [1075/87][1416].

2. CONON [Falcon] (-[before 1114]). “Rigaldus miles de Grantione filius Adalberti” donated serfs to Romainmôtier, when “filio nostro Petro” entered the convent, with the consent of “uxore mea Helena et filiis meis Ottone, Ademaro, Artaldo atque Jarentone et fratribus meis Ottone atque Conone qui et Falco”, by charter dated to [1075/87][1417]. [Bouchard suggests that the husband of Aelis de Ramerupt was the same person as Foulques de Bourgogne, son of Renaud Comte de Bourgogne[1418]. However, if it is correct, as shown in Europäische Stammtafeln, that Conon died soon “before 1114” (which date has not been verified), the suggestion is unlikely to be correct.] The Miraculis S. Mariæ Laudunensis names him “quidam...nobilissimus princeps in Burgundia...Falco de Jur, vel de Serrata” when recording his marriage[1419]. The explanation for “de Jur” [Joux?] has not been found. No connection has been found between Conon/Falcon and the family of the seigneurs de Joux (whose genealogy was studied in the mid-19th century by Estavayer[1420]). One possible explanation is confusion with “Falco” son of Amaury de Joux, who witnessed the following charter: “Amaldricus” [identified as Amaury [I] de Joux] disputed properties with Romainmôtier by charter dated Jan [before 1075], witnessed by “...filiis Amaldrici, Hugone, Falcone, Landrico”[1421]. He presumably died before 4 Jun 1114, the date of the charter of his sons quoted below. m AELIS de Ramerupt, daughter of HILDUIN [IV] de Montdidier et de Ramerupt Comte de Roucy & his wife Adelaide de Roucy. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names “Aeliz de Sarrata in Burgundia” as fifth daughter of Hilduin Comte de Roucy[1422]. The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names “sexta filia Hilduini comitis Adelidis” as mother of “filium columbine simplicitatis nomine Bartholomeum…[et] Ebalum”[1423]. The Miraculis S. Mariæ Laudunensis records that “nobilissimus princeps in Burgundia…Falco de Jur, vel de Serrata” married “comitis Hilduini [comes Rociensis]…unam ex filiabus eius…Adeladam”, after capturing her father and releasing him only after agreeing the marriage[1424]. Conon & his wife had [ten] children:

a) EBLES [I] (-15 May [1132/34]). The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names “filium columbine simplicitatis nomine Bartholomeum, qui prius fuit thesaurius Remensis ecclesie et Sancti Quintini et Lausannensis, postea vero Laudunensis antistes, novissime devotus in Fusniaco monacus…post quem mater eius genuit Ebalum cum aliis liberis utriusque sexus” as children of “sexta filia Hilduini comitis Adelidis”[1425].

- see below.

b) BARTHELEMY [I] (-1158). The Miraculis S. Mariæ Laudunensis names “episcopum domnum Bartholomæum [Remensis ecclesiæ Beatæ Mariæ canonicum et thesaurarium]” as the son of Foulques de Joux and his wife[1426]. The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names “filium columbine simplicitatis nomine Bartholomeum, qui prius fuit thesaurius Remensis ecclesie et Sancti Quintini et Lausannensis, postea vero Laudunensis antistes, novissime devotus in Fusniaco monacus…post quem mater eius genuit Ebalum cum aliis liberis utriusque sexus” as children of “sexta filia Hilduini comitis Adelidis”[1427]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names “Ebalum et…episcopum Laudunensem Bartholomeum et eorum sorores” as children of “Aeliz de Sarrata in Burgundia”[1428]. Bishop of Laon 1113, resigned 1150. The Continuatio Praemonstratensis of Sigebert’s Chronica records in 1150 that “Bartholomeus Laudunensis episcopus” became a monk at “Fusniaci” [Foigny] after 38 years as bishop[1429].

c) HUGUES (-after 4 Jun 1114). “Donnus Hebalus et donnus Ugo frater suus” donated “homines et feminas...in villa...Ferreres” to Romainmôtier by charter dated 4 Jun 1114[1430].

d) [--- . Maybe this son was one of the other sons named above.] m ---. One child:

i) HUGUES . Gingins-La-Sarraz’s Annales du Lac-de-Joux record that “Bartholomé seigneur de la Sarraz fils d’Ebald le fondateur” donated Orny church to Le Lac-de-Joux abbey and “Hugues Seigneur de Grandson son petit-fils, neveu de Bartholomé...deux moulins à Sainte-Croix avec la Combe de Lantife ou des Nairvaux et des terres à Essert sous Montagny” (no date)[1431]. The corresponding primary source has not been identified, so the “La Sarraz” reference has not been checked. The donation is referred to the 29 Sep 1177 bull of Pope Alexander III which confirms the possessions of Le Lac-de-Joux, including the donation of “pascus de Lantifer...calcem de Jura” made by “Huguo de Grandissono”[1432].

e) LOUIS (-18 Mar [1160/62]). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Deacon at Lausanne. Bishop of Sion 1130.

f) [ERMENTRUDE [de Joux] ([1080?]-). The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis records that "unam sororum domni Bartholomei" married "Henricus de Grandi-prato [=Henri/Hezelin]", by whom she had “Henricum [=Henri [I]] et Adelidem...”[1433]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names “Ebalum et…episcopum Laudunensem Bartholomeum et eorum sorores” as children of “Aeliz de Sarrata in Burgundia”, specifying that one sister married “Henrico comiti de Grandi prato”[1434], who is assumed to be Henri/Hezelin although, as noted in the document CHAMPAGNE-PORCIEN, RETHEL, GRANDPRE (follow the hyperlink of Ermentrude’s husband), correctly linking the persons named in Alberic’s text with the Grandpré family members is not straightforward. Barthélemy assumes that Ermentrude’s husband was Henri/Hezelin (calling her “Ermengarde, fille de Faucon, seigneur de Montfaucon au comté de Bourgogne, et de Alix de Roucy”)[1435]. If that is correct, it is likely that Ermentrude was born around [1080], given the chronology of the Grandpré family. [The following source indicates that Ermentrude married Henri [I] Comte de Grandpré, which seems chronologically unlikely considering that he was still a minor in 1106, which would push her birth to [1095] or later: the Miraculis S. Mariæ Laudunensis names “Ermentrudis” as one of “aliis filiis et filiabus” of Foulques de Joux and his wife, adding that she married “quam rursum de Burgundia in Francia delatam Henricus comes de Grandiprato”, by whom she had “æquivocum sibi Henricum comitem”, adding that that “germanamque eius Adeladem” [=Alix, Henri [I]’s sister] was “matrem Ricardi Virdunensis ac Laudunensis archidiaconi”[1436]. The reference to “Joux” has not been explained.] No indication has been found of Ermentrude’s date of death. m ([1093/94?]) HENRI [Hezelin] de Grandpré, son of HERMAN [Hezelin] Comte & his wife [--- de Porcien] ([1060/70?]-Verdun [1097]).]

g) daughter . The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names the husband of “alteram Bartholomei episcopi sororem” as “Erchenbaldus vicecomes de Mascuns” and their children “Hugonem thesaurarium Remensis ecclesie et Stephanum monachum, Ertaldum, Erchembaldum et sorores eorum” names the children of Ertald as “equivocum sibi Ertaldum” names the husband of one of Ertald’s sisters as “Amedeo de Alta-ripa” names “Amedeum Lausanensem episcopum”as son of “Amedeo de Alta-ripa”[1437]. m ARCHAMBAUD Vicomte de Mazuns, son of ---.

h) daughter . The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names the husband of “terciam sororem domni Bartholomei” as “Trombertus de Alta-villa” and their sons as “Wibertum et fratrem eius”[1438]. m TROMBERT de Hauterive, son of ---.

i) daughter . The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names the husband of “quartam [sororem domni Bartholomei]” as “Paganus de Sancci, que filias habuit”[1439]. m PAGAN de Sanci, son of ---.

j) daughter . The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names the husband of “quintam [sororem domni Bartholomei]” as “Berlo de Mureno”[1440]. m BERLO de Mureno, son of ---.

RIGAUD (-after [1075/87]). “Rigaldus” donated property “in villa Tritiniaco” to Romainmôtier, with the consent of “uxor mea Helena”, by charter dated to [1050/1100], witnessed by “Otto frater eius...”[1441]. “Rigaldus miles de Grantione filius Adalberti” donated serfs to Romainmôtier, when “filio nostro Petro” entered the convent, with the consent of “uxore mea Helena et filiis meis Ottone, Ademaro, Artaldo atque Jarentone et fratribus meis Ottone atque Conone qui et Falco”, by charter dated to [1075/87][1442]. m HELENE, daughter of --- (-after [1075/87]). “Rigaldus” donated property “in villa Tritiniaco” to Romainmôtier, with the consent of “uxor mea Helena”, by charter dated to [1050/1100], witnessed by “Otto frater eius...”[1443]. “Rigaldus miles de Grantione filius Adalberti” donated serfs to Romainmôtier, when “filio nostro Petro” entered the convent, with the consent of “uxore mea Helena et filiis meis Ottone, Ademaro, Artaldo atque Jarentone et fratribus meis Ottone atque Conone qui et Falco”, by charter dated to [1075/87][1444]. Rigaud & his wife had five children:

a) OTHON . “Rigaldus miles de Grantione filius Adalberti” donated serfs to Romainmôtier, when “filio nostro Petro” entered the convent, with the consent of “uxore mea Helena et filiis meis Ottone, Ademaro, Artaldo atque Jarentone...”, by charter dated to [1075/87][1445].

b) ADEMAR . “Rigaldus miles de Grantione filius Adalberti” donated serfs to Romainmôtier, when “filio nostro Petro” entered the convent, with the consent of “uxore mea Helena et filiis meis Ottone, Ademaro, Artaldo atque Jarentone...”, by charter dated to [1075/87][1446].

c) ARTAUD . “Rigaldus miles de Grantione filius Adalberti” donated serfs to Romainmôtier, when “filio nostro Petro” entered the convent, with the consent of “uxore mea Helena et filiis meis Ottone, Ademaro, Artaldo atque Jarentone...”, by charter dated to [1075/87][1447].

d) JARENTON . “Rigaldus miles de Grantione filius Adalberti” donated serfs to Romainmôtier, when “filio nostro Petro” entered the convent, with the consent of “uxore mea Helena et filiis meis Ottone, Ademaro, Artaldo atque Jarentone...”, by charter dated to [1075/87][1448].

e) PIERRE . “Rigaldus miles de Grantione filius Adalberti” donated serfs to Romainmôtier, when “filio nostro Petro” entered the convent, with the consent of “uxore mea Helena et filiis meis Ottone, Ademaro, Artaldo atque Jarentone...”, by charter dated to [1075/87][1449]. Monk at Romainmôtier.

EBLES [I] de Grandson, son of CONON [Falcon] de Grandson & his wife Aelis de Ramerupt (-15 May [1132/34]). The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names “filium columbine simplicitatis nomine Bartholomeum, qui prius fuit thesaurius Remensis ecclesie et Sancti Quintini et Lausannensis, postea vero Laudunensis antistes, novissime devotus in Fusniaco monacus…post quem mater eius genuit Ebalum cum aliis liberis utriusque sexus” as children of “sexta filia Hilduini comitis Adelidis”[1450]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names “Ebalum et…episcopum Laudunensem Bartholomeum et eorum sorores” as children of “Aeliz de Sarrata in Burgundia”[1451]. Williams dates his birth to “say c. 1077”[1452]. “Donnus Hebalus et donnus Ugo frater suus” donated “homines et feminas...in villa...Ferreres” [Ferreyres, near La Sarraz] to Romainmôtier by charter dated 4 Jun 1114[1453]. “Domnus Eubolus” agreed with Romainmôtier to respect the bishop of Lausanne’s judgment relating to the serfs (donated in 4 Jun 1114) by charter dated to [1120/25], followed by related charters from Emperor Heinrich V[1454]. “Donnus Eubolus de Grantione” donated his rights over “Lamberto pellatario” to Romainmôtier, with the support of “uxore sua et filiis suis”, by undated charter, dated to [1126][1455]. “Eubolus de Grancione” relinquished rights “in terra sancti Petri...” in favour of Romainmôtier by undated charter, dated to [1130], witnessed by “Walcherius, Vldricus de Grancione...”[1456]. Seigneur de La Sarraz: Gingins-La-Sarraz’s Annales du Lac-de-Joux date the foundation to [1126] and name its founder “Ebald sire de La Sarraz et de Grandson”[1457]. The foundation is confirmed by a charter dated 1140 which records that “Ebalus Falconis de Grandissono filius” had founded Le Lac-de-Joux in the presence of “Vdricus de Grandissono...” and later confirmed by Ebles Bishop of Lausanne[1458]. A charter dated 4 May [1130/35] records that, while living, “donnus Eubalus de Grantione” made various donations to Romainmôtier, with the consent of “coniuge eiusdem Eubali Adaleide...et filiis suis Eubalo, Bartholomeo, Raimundo”, witnessed by “Donnus Galcherius de Grantione...”, confirmed the day of his burial by his wife and sons (witnessed by “Aimone de Monte Falcone, Conone de Grantione, Falcone nepote eius et Conone fratre eius”)[1459]. In light of these charters, Williams suggests that the death of Ebles [I] “probably occurred in the period 1132 x 1134”[1460].

m ADELAIDE, daughter of --- (-after 1141). The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis refers to the wife of “Ebalus” as “sorore comitis Ulardi”[1461]. She is named in the charters cited below, although there is no guarantee that Ebles did not marry twice, the mother of his children being the later Adélaïde. This possibility appears supported by the 1141 charter which names their mother with Ebles’s two oldest sons, suggesting that they may still have been under her guardianship at the time. Her father’s county has not been identified. It is not certain that he bore the comital title, as Williams has identified two charters which name an Ulard, concluding that “it is plausible that [he] was either Adélaïde’s father or brother”[1462]: firstly, “Umberti comitis, Sigibodi, Fulcherii, Alloldi, Ulardi” subscribed the charter dated to 1031? under which “Ermengardis, Rodulphi regis conjux” founded “ecclesiam S. Mariæ...in loco...Talueris, in pago Albanensi” [Talloires, shore of Lake Annecy][1463], and secondly “Ulardus” donated “vineam unam in villa Galoniaco“ to Cluny by charter dated to [996-1031] (“regnante Rotberto rege”), subscribed by “Ulardi, Sigbaldi...Albaldi...”[1464]. The similarity of two of the subscribers’ names suggests that the two documents refer to the same Ulard. “Donnus Eubolus de Grantione” donated his rights over “Lamberto pellatario” to Romainmôtier, with the support of “uxore sua et filiis suis”, by undated charter, dated to [1126][1465]. A charter dated 4 May [1130/35] records that, while living, “donnus Eubalus de Grantione, dum adhuc viveret” made various donations to Romainmôtier, with the consent of “coniuge eiusdem Eubali Adaleide...et filiis suis Eubalo, Bartholomeo, Raimundo”, confirmed the day of his burial by his wife and sons[1466]. “Eubalus et Bartolomeus frater eius de Grantione” confirmed donations made to Romainmôtier by “pater eorum Eubalus”, with the support of “matre eorum Adeleyde”, by charter dated 1141[1467].

Ebles [I] & his wife had [five] children:

1. EBLES [II] de Grandson (-after 1141). The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names “Ebalum et Bartholomeum” as sons of “Ebalus” & his wife[1468]. “Donnus Eubolus de Grantione” donated his rights over “Lamberto pellatario” to Romainmôtier, with the support of “uxore sua et filiis suis”, by undated charter, dated to [1126][1469]. A charter dated 4 May [1130/35] records that, while living, “donnus Eubalus de Grantione” made various donations to Romainmôtier, with the consent of “coniuge eiusdem Eubali Adaleide...et filiis suis Eubalo, Bartholomeo, Raimundo”, confirmed the day of his burial by his wife and sons[1470]. “Eubalus et Bartolomeus frater eius de Grantione” confirmed donations made to Romainmôtier by “pater eorum Eubalus”, with the support of “matre eorum Adeleyde”, by charter dated 1141[1471]. The involvement of their mother suggests that both brothers were still under her guardianship and unmarried at that time. Ebles [II] presumably died soon after 1141 as no other source has been found which names him.

2. BARTHELEMY [II] de Grandson (-[Jerusalem] [1158/59]). The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names “Ebalum et Bartholomeum” as sons of “Ebalus” & his wife[1472]. Seigneur de Grandson et de Belmont. Avocat of Joux.

- see below.

3. RAYMOND de Grandson (-after 4 May [1130/35]). A charter dated 4 May [1130/35] records that, while living, “donnus Eubalus de Grantione” made various donations to Romainmôtier, with the consent of “coniuge eiusdem Eubali Adaleide...et filiis suis Eubalo, Bartholomeo, Raimundo”, confirmed the day of his burial by his wife and sons[1473].

4. [GAUCHER de Grandson (-after 1154). “Dominus Falco et Cono frater eius” transferred rights to certain serfs to Romainmôtier and to “domino de Grantione”, with the support of “uxor Falconis”, by charter dated 1154 in the presence of “...dominorum Grantionis Bartolomei, Gaucherii, Cononis, filiique eius Willelmi”[1474]. The name order of those listed in that charter suggests that Gaucher may have been another brother of Barthélemy [II].]

5. [CONON de Grandson (-after 1154). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. The name order of those listed as present in the following charter suggests that Conon may have been another brother of Barthélemy [II]. “Dominus Falco et Cono frater eius” transferred rights to certain serfs to Romainmôtier and to “domino de Grantione”, with the support of “uxor Falconis”, by charter dated 1154 in the presence of “...dominorum Grantionis Bartolomei, Gaucherii, Cononis, filiique eius Willelmi”[1475].] m ---. The name of Conon’s wife is not known. Conon & his wife had four children:

a) GUILLAUME de Grandson (-after 1184). “Dominus Falco et Cono frater eius” transferred rights to certain serfs to Romainmôtier and to “domino de Grantione”, with the support of “uxor Falconis”, by charter dated 1154 in the presence of “...dominorum Grantionis Bartolomei, Gaucherii, Cononis, filiique eius Willelmi”[1476]. “Dunnus Guielmus, Girardus et Quono fratres eius, Grandissoni” donated certain serfs to Romainmôtier by undated charter [dated to the second half of the 12th century][1477]. A charter dated 1184 (vidimus dated 1285, in the same document as the copy of a charter dated 21 Jan 1142) records donations to Théla [Montheron], including the one made by “Girardus de Granzon et fratres eius...Willelmus et Cono”[1478]. An undated charter records donations made to Lausanne Notre-Dame by “dominus Williermus de Grancon et fratres eius Girardus et Cono” of property “apud Warens”[1479].

b) GERARD de Grandson (-after 1184). “Dunnus Guielmus, Girardus et Quono fratres eius, Grandissoni” donated certain serfs to Romainmôtier by undated charter [dated to the second half of the 12th century][1480]. A charter dated 1184 (vidimus dated 1285, in the same document as the copy of a charter dated 21 Jan 1142) records donations to Théla [Montheron], including the one made by “Girardus de Granzon et fratres eius...Willelmus et Cono”[1481]. An undated charter records donations made to Lausanne Notre-Dame by “dominus Williermus de Grancon et fratres eius Girardus et Cono” of property “apud Warens”[1482].

c) CONON de Grandson (-after 1184). “Dunnus Guielmus, Girardus et Quono fratres eius, Grandissoni” donated certain serfs to Romainmôtier by undated charter [dated to the second half of the 12th century][1483]. A charter dated 1184 (vidimus dated 1285, in the same document as the copy of a charter dated 21 Jan 1142) records donations to Théla [Montheron], including the one made by “Girardus de Granzon et fratres eius...Willelmus et Cono”[1484]. An undated charter records donations made to Lausanne Notre-Dame by “dominus Williermus de Grancon et fratres eius Girardus et Cono” of property “apud Warens”[1485].

d) daughter . Her parentage and marriage are indicated by the following document: [her son] “Petrus de Sancto Martino miles” donated rights “in villa de Crisiaco” and renounced rights in property of “W. de Grancon avunculus eius”, by charter dated 2 May 1199[1486]. Williams records her husband’s name, noting that he was cited “c.1162-1177”, and gives details of the couple’s descendants who may have included the second wife of Jordan de Grandson Seigneur de Belmont who is named below[1487]. m RICHARD de Saint-Martin, son of --- (-after 1177).

BARTHELEMY [II] de Grandson, son of EBLES [I] de Grandson & his wife Adelaide --- (-[Jerusalem] [1158/59]). The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names “Ebalum et Bartholomeum” as sons of “Ebalus” & his wife[1488]. “Donnus Eubolus de Grantione” donated his rights over “Lamberto pellatario” to Romainmôtier, with the support of “uxore sua et filiis suis”, by undated charter, dated to [1126][1489]. A charter dated 4 May [1130/35] records that, while living, “donnus Eubalus de Grantione” made various donations to Romainmôtier, with the consent of “coniuge eiusdem Eubali Adaleide...et filiis suis Eubalo, Bartholomeo, Raimundo”, confirmed the day of his burial by his wife and sons[1490]. “Eubalus et Bartolomeus frater eius de Grantione” confirmed donations made to Romainmôtier by “pater eorum Eubalus”, with the support of “matre eorum Adeleyde”, by charter dated 1141[1491]. The involvement of their mother in this charter suggests that both brothers were still under her guardianship and unmarried at that time. Seigneur de Grandson: “Dominus Falco et Cono frater eius” transferred rights to certain serfs to Romainmôtier and to “domino de Grantione”, with the support of “uxor Falconis”, by charter dated 1154 in the presence of “...dominorum Grantionis Bartolomei, Gaucherii, Cononis, filiique eius Willelmi”[1492]. Seigneur de Belmont: “Bartholomeus prefecto de Bellomonte...uxor...eiusdem et filius suus Ebalus” approved donations to Théla [Montheron] recorded in a charter dated 1154[1493]. Seigneur de La Sarraz: Gingins-La-Sarraz’s Annales du Lac-de-Joux name “Bartholomé seigneur de la Sarraz fils d’Ebald le fondateur” when recording his donation of Orny church to Le Lac-de-Joux abbey (no date)[1494]. The corresponding primary source has not been identified, so the “La Sarraz” reference has not been checked. The donation is referred to the 29 Sep 1177 bull of Pope Alexander III which confirms the possessions of Le Lac-de-Joux, including the donation of “ecclesiam de Ornys”, but no donor is named[1495]. “Dominus Bartholomeus filius Eubali de Grantione”, setting out for Jerusalem (“iturus Jerosolimam”), donated certain serfs to Romainmôtier, confirmed the same day “apud Saratam - et filius suus Eubalus. laudavit - necnon et uxor eius Jordana”, by charter dated 1158[1496]. No other mention of Barthélemy [II] has been found, which suggests that he may have died on the journey to Jerusalem.

m (after 1141?) JORDANE, daughter of --- (-after [1158/60]). As noted above, the presence of Barthélemy’s mother in the 1141 charter quoted above suggests that he was not yet married at that date. “Bartholomeus prefecto de Bellomonte...uxor...eiusdem et filius suus Ebalus” approved donations to Théla [Montheron] recorded in a charter dated 1154[1497]. The following document indicates her name: “Dominus Bartholomeus filius Eubali de Grantione”, setting out for Jerusalem (“iturus Jerosolimam”), donated certain serfs to Romainmôtier, confirmed the same day “apud Saratam - et filius suus Eubalus. laudavit - necnon et uxor eius Jordana”, by charter dated 1158[1498]. Williams highlights that Gingins-La-Sarraz incorrectly transcribed the last part of this document as “apud Saratam et filius eius, Eubalus, laudavit; nec non et uxor eius Jordana”[1499]. The incorrect transcription presumably induced Charrière’s interpretation that that the second “eius” referred to “Eubalus” and that Jordane was his wife not Barthélemy’s[1500]. Williams argues convincingly that Jordane was Barthélemy’s wife. He bases his reasoning not only on the natural interpretation of the correct transcription of the document, but also on the logical inconsistency between the 1158 charter naming Ebles’s wife (implying her direct interest in the transaction) and her absence from the [1158/60] charter cited below, the latter document referring to Ebles’s mother (which implies that Ebles was as yet unmarried and was maybe still under her guardianship)[1501]. Williams’s argument is consistent with the suggested birth date of Ebles [III], based on Barthélemy’s marriage date as indicated above. She is named in the following document of her son: “Ebalus dominus Grandissoni” restored property “aput Sanctum Desiderium”, previously held by “Uldricus de Sarrata...et pater eius” and donated by “felicis recordationis Jordana mater mea”, to Romainmôtier by charter dated 28 Sep 1233[1502].

Barthélemy [II] & his wife had two children:

1. EBLES [III] de Grandson ([1144 or after?]-[26 Jan] after 1235, bur [Joux]). Williams dates his birth to “c.1144”[1503]. This date is consistent with his parents’ marriage date as suggested above, but the presence of Ebles’s mother in the [1158/60] charter cited below suggests that she may then still have been his guardian and that Ebles may have been born later. “Bartholomeus prefecto de Bellomonte...uxor...eiusdem et filius suus Ebalus” approved donations to Théla [Montheron] recorded in a charter dated 1154[1504]. Seigneur de Grandson.

- see below.

2. JORDAN de Grandson (-before 5 Jul 1227). “Donnus Iblo de Grantione et Jordanus frater eius” relinquished claims to certain serfs in favour of Romainmôtier, with the support of “matre eorum”, by charter dated to [1158/60][1505]. A charter dated 1174 (vidimus dated 1285) records confirmation of donations to Théla [Montheron] made by “domnus Yblo de Belmont et Iordanus frater eius”[1506]. Arduin Bishop of Genève confirmed donations to Bonmont, including [earlier?] donations supported by “Ebalus de Grazon...Jordanus frater eiusdem Ebali”, by charter dated 1177[1507]. An earlier version of this document suggested that subsequent references to Jordan related to a second person of that name who would have been his son. Williams’s discussion of Jordan’s career suggests that this is unlikely to be correct, Jordan being long-lived like his brother[1508]. Seigneur de Belmont: “Iordanus dominus de Bellomonte” was named in a charter of Montheron dated to 1185/86[1509]. Jordan restored order in a dispute between Montheron ad one of his fiefholders Hugues de Villette by charter dated 1197[1510]. Jordan donated property to Montheron, for the souls of “antecessorum meorum et uxoris mee et Vualteri filii mei”, by charter dated 1217[1511]. “Jordan sire de Belmont” relinquished rights over “Reymond Maynier” in favour of Romainmôtier, with the approval of “son épouse Pétronille et de leur fils Richard”, by charter dated 1223[1512]. “Jordanus nobilis vir Bellimontis” donated property to Joux abbey by his testament, confirmed after his burial by “sa veuve Pétronille”, confirmed by Guillaume Bishop of Lausanne “auquel le prédit Jordan avait confié la tutelle de ses héritiers” by charter dated 5 Jul 1227[1513]. m firstly ---. This first marriage is confirmed by her husband’s 1217 charter cited above which names his wife, then presumably deceased. m secondly PETRONILLE, daughter of --- (-after Nov 1235). “Jordan sire de Belmont” relinquished rights over “Reymond Maynier” in favour of Romainmôtier, with the approval of “son épouse Pétronille et de leur fils Richard”, by charter dated 1223[1514]. Her connection with the Saint-Martin family is suggested by the Nov 1235 charter cited below which names Richard de Saint-Martin as guardian of her children. “Jordanus nobilis vir Bellimontis” donated property to Joux abbey by his testament, confirmed after his burial by “sa veuve Pétronille”, confirmed by Guillaume Bishop of Lausanne “auquel le prédit Jordan avait confié la tutelle de ses héritiers” by charter dated 5 Jul 1227[1515]. A charter dated Nov 1235 records a dispute between Montheron and “Iordanus et Bertholdus fratres, domicelli, domni Belli-montis et Petronilla mater eorum”, after the mediation of “viris nobilibus Rychardo de Sancto Martino, tutore nostro et Petro domno de Granzon cognato nostro”[1516]. Jordan & his first wife had two children:

a) GAUTHIER de Belmont (-before 1217). Jordan donated property to Montheron, for the souls of “antecessorum meorum et uxoris mee et Vualteri filii mei”, by charter dated 1217[1517].

b) COLOMBE de Belmont (-13 Jan [1231/1232]). Her having given birth to six children during her marriage suggests that she was one of her parents’ older children. “Rodulfus comes Gruierensis et Rodulfus filius meus” confirmed the donation to the abbey of Théla by “pater meus Rodulfus et mater mea Agnes et fratres mei Willelmus, Amedeus et Petrus”, by charter dated 1224 witnessed by “Columba uxor filii mei Rodulfi et Petrus filius eorum”[1518]. “Rodulfus iunior filius Rodulfi comitis de Grueri” donated property to Lausanne, with the consent of “Columba uxore mea filia Jordani domini de Belmunt et…filium meum Wulelmum et filias meas Agnes, Betris et Iulialam” by charter dated 23 Sep 1227, witnessed by “…Rodulfus comes pater dicti R…”[1519]. “Rodulfus iuvenis comes de Grueria” mortgaged the avouerie of Vevey to “Aymoni domino de Blonay”, with the consent of “uxor Columba predicti comitis Rodulfi et Petrus filius eiusdem”, by charter dated 1231[1520]. The necrology of Lausanne records the death 13 Jan of “Columba comitissa Gruerie” and the donation by “R. comes maritus suus…apud Rassonery” for her soul[1521]. Her year of death is estimated from her husband being named with his second wife in May 1232. m (before 1224) as his first wife, RODOLPHE [III] de Gruyère, son of RODOLPHE [II] Comte de Gruyère & his wife Gertrude --- (-[Mar 1267/20 Jul 1270]). He succeeded in [1226/27] as Comte de Gruyère.

Jordan & his second wife had three children:

c) RICHARD de Belmont (-after mid-Aug 1250). “Jordan sire de Belmont” relinquished rights over “Reymond Maynier” in favour of Romainmôtier, with the approval of “son épouse Pétronille et de leur fils Richard”, by charter dated 1223[1522]. Richard is not named in the 1235 charter which names his brothers (see below). A charter dated mid-Aug 1250 records the settlement of a dispute between the canons of Lausanne and “Monseigniour Richard et Bertot, freres et segnours de Belmont” concerning “l’avoërie e usages...es viles de Essertines et de Warens e de Warengel”[1523]. Charrière records no descendants of Richard in his narrative about the Belmont family, but in “Tableau VI” shows a daughter “Blanche” married to Jacques de Grandson, son of Pierre Seigneur de Grandson (see below)[1524]. This suggestion is followed by the Dictionnaire Historique de Vaud (which does not cite sources) which names Richard’s wife “Agnes”[1525]. No primary source has been found which confirms this information. As Richard was old enough to approve the donation in the 1223 charter quoted above, it does seem surprising that his daughter married Jacques only “before Dec 1269” (follow Jacques’s hyperlink for the source).

d) BERTHOLD de Belmont (-after mid-Aug 1250). Seigneur de Belmont: a charter dated Nov 1235 records a dispute between Montheron and “Iordanus et Bertholdus fratres, domicelli, domni Belli-montis et Petronilla mater eorum”, after the mediation of “viris nobilibus Rychardo de Sancto Martino, tutore nostro et Petro domno de Granzon cognato nostro”[1526]. A charter dated mid-Aug 1250 records the settlement of a dispute between the canons of Lausanne and “Monseigniour Richard et Bertot, freres et segnours de Belmont” concerning “l’avoërie e usages...es viles de Essertines et de Warens e de Warengel”[1527]. Charrière records no descendants of Berthold in his narrative about the Belmont family[1528]. The Dictionnaire Historique de Vaud (which does not cite sources) names “Guillaume et Jaques, avec une fille nommée Contesse” as Berthold’s children[1529]. The primary source which confirms this information has not been identified.

e) JORDAN de Belmont . Seigneur de Belmont: a charter dated Nov 1235 records a dispute between Montheron and “Iordanus et Bertholdus fratres, domicelli, domni Belli-montis et Petronilla mater eorum”, after the mediation of “viris nobilibus Rychardo de Sancto Martino, tutore nostro et Petro domno de Granzon cognato nostro”[1530]. Charrière records no descendants of Jordan in his narrative about the Belmont family[1531].

EBLES [III] de Grandson, son of BARTHELEMY [II] Seigneur de Grandson & his wife Jordane --- ([1144 or after?]-[26 Jan] after 1235, bur [Joux]). His parentage is confirmed by the 1233 charter quoted below which names his mother “Jordane”. Williams dates his birth to “c.1144”[1532]. This date is consistent with his parents’ marriage date as suggested above, but the presence of Ebles’s mother in the [1158/60] charter cited below suggests that she may then still have been his guardian and that Ebles may have been born later. “Bartholomeus prefecto de Bellomonte...uxor...eiusdem et filius suus Ebalus” approved donations to Théla [Montheron] recorded in a charter dated 1154[1533]. “Dominus Bartholomeus filius Eubali de Grantione”, setting out for Jerusalem (“iturus Jerosolimam”), donated certain serfs to Romainmôtier, confirmed the same day “apud Saratam - et filius suus Eubalus. laudavit - necnon et uxor eius Jordana”, by charter dated 1158[1534]. Seigneur de Grandson. “Donnus Iblo de Grantione et Jordanus frater eius” relinquished claims to certain serfs in favour of Romainmôtier, with the support of “matre eorum”, by charter dated to [1158/60], witnessed by “donnus Huo de Grantione, Willermus de Grantione, Willermus de Cicoin...Galcherius de Grantione...”[1535]. Seigneur de Belmont: a charter dated 1174 (vidimus dated 1285) records confirmation of donations to Théla [Montheron] made by “domnus Yblo de Belmont et Iordanus frater eius”, with the support of “uxor ipsius Yblonis”[1536]. Arduin Bishop of Genève confirmed donations to Bonmont, including [earlier?] donations supported by “Ebalus de Grazon...Jordanus frater eiusdem Ebali”, by charter dated 1177[1537]. A charter dated 1177 records donations to Montheron made, among others, by “domnus Yeblo de Bellomonte” witnessed by “Huo de Gransum, Willelmus de Ciccuns...”[1538]. [The cartulary of Lausanne Notre-Dame records that “Eblo” donated money “primum pro quere—la advocatie” and “postea...quando profectus est Iherosolimam”, undated[1539]. The document provides no indication of the identity of “Eblo”: Charrière suggests that “il y a toute apparence qu’il s’agit ici du fils de sire Barthélemy” (he does not explain why) and (presumably assuming that his own suggestion, regarding the existence of a hypothetical “Ebles [IV]”, is correct as noted below) that “on ignore s’il revint de Jérusalem et l’époque de sa mort n’est pas même approximativement connue”[1540].] A charter dated 1184 (vidimus dated 1285, in the same document as the copy of a charter dated 21 Jan 1142) records donations to Théla [Montheron], including the one made by “Petrus de Gumuens qui dicitur de Turre miles” witnessed by “Yblo de Granzon...”[1541]. Emperor Friedrich I granted rights in the valley of Le Lac-de-Joux to “Ebali de Sarrata domini Grandisoni fundatoris dictæ Abbatiæ de Lacu” and any successors who held “castrum et villam Sarratæ” by charter dated 26 Aug 1186[1542]. [Charrière assumes that Ebles [III] died after 1186 and that all later sources refer to “Ebal IV, fils et successeur d’Ebal III et son seul enfant connu”[1543]. He cites no primary source which confirms his assumption. David Williams, in a lengthy and well-constructed recent article, argues convincingly that Ebal [IV] never existed and that all sources dated between 1154 and 1235 relate to Ebles [III]. This theory was first proposed in 1955 by Olivier Dessemontet[1544]. The key parts of Williams’s argument are the identification of Jordane as the wife of Barthélemy [II], not of Ebles [III], and his revised reconstruction of the chronology of the whole Grandson family which is consistent with the long life of Ebles [III][1545]. While it would not be impossible for the wives of both Barthélemy and Ebles to have been named Jordane, Williams’s revised chronology shows the unlikelihood that this was the case.] “Yblo dominus de Grancionis” donated serfs to Romainmôtier, after “Hugo filius meus” entered as a monk, with the consent of “uxor mea et filii mei Yblo, Girardus, Henricus, Willelmus, Otto, Petrus et ceteri omnes”, by charter dated 1200[1546]. Ebles [III] divided his territories between his three surviving lay sons (Gérard receiving La Sarraz, Henri Champvent, and Pierre Grandson), dated by Williams “probably in 1225, between April and July” (bearing in mind the [25 Mar 1225/24 Mar 1226] charter in which the three sons were named “de Granciuno” and the 14 Aug 1225 document in which Gérard was associated with La Sarraz, see below)[1547]. “...Yeblo de Granzon et Girardus de Sarata...” witnessed the charter dated 18 Jun 1226 which records a dispute between the bishop of Lausanne and “Haimonem dominum de Fucinie” concerning “atvocacia Lausannensi”[1548]. “Ebalus dominus Grandissoni” restored property “aput Sanctum Desiderium”, previously held by “Uldricus de Sarrata...et pater eius” and donated by “felicis recordationis Jordana mater mea”, to Romainmôtier, with the consent “ab uxore filii mei Girardi domini Sarrete...et...dicto G filio meo”, by charter dated 28 Sep 1233, sealed by “ego Ebalus dominus Grandissoni et ego Antonia domina Sarrete”[1549]. “E. dominus Grandisoni” confirmed his donation of harvest and one silver cup to Lausanne cathedral, for the anniversaries of “nostro et Beatricis uxoris nostre”, with the consent of “fillis nostris...H...domino de Chanuenz et P. domino de Grantson et Antonia uxore condam filii nostri G. domini Sarrate et filiis eius .s. ai. et. W. et Iordana filia ipsius”, by charter dated Oct 1234[1550]. “Ebalus dominus Grandissoni” donated property to Lac-de-Joux abbey, for the anniversaries of “mee et uxoris mee Beatricis ac liberorum et antecessorum meorum”, and for the future burials of the donor and his wife, with the consent of “filiorum meorum...Henrici domini de Chanuenz et Petri domini Grandissoni et...Anthonie domine Sarrate condam uxoris Gyrardi filii mei et liberorum suorum Aymonis, Willermi et Jordane”, by charter dated 1235[1551]. [The necrology of Lausanne records the death 26 Jan of “Ybliodus dns Grandissoni” and his donation “ad mensuram Sarrate in decima de Ornye”[1552]. It is not known to which Ebles de Grandson this entry refers.]

m [firstly] ([1170/74?]) --- [de Genève], daughter of --- ([1150/60?]-[after 1200]). A relationship between the Grandson and Geneva families is indicated by a document dated 6 Nov 1252 under which Guillaume [II] Comte de Genève (in connection with his testament) addressed Aimon de Grandson Bishop of Geneva as “consanguineo, Aymoni...Geben. episcopo” and, in the body of the document, named “Rodulfo primogenito nostro et consanguineo vestro”[1553]. The most likely explanation is that the family relationship was through the bishop’s mother, the wife of Ebles [III] Seigneur de Grandson. If that is correct, she may have been Ebles’s wife who was referred to, but not named, in a charter dated 1174 (vidimus dated 1285) which records confirmation of donations to Théla [Montheron] made by “domnus Yblo de Belmont et Iordanus frater eius”, with the support of “uxor ipsius Yblonis”[1554]. If that is right, the marriage probably too place not long before 1174 if Ebles’s birth is correctly estimated to [1144 or after?] as suggested above, although the possibility cannot be excluded that Ebles’s 1174 wife died soon afterwards and was replaced by another wife who was the mother of all or some of his children. Charrière names “Béatrice” as “la mère de cette nombreuse famille”[1555], presumably because Ebles named “...uxoris mee Beatricis...” in his 1235 charter cited above. However, as pointed out by Williams, if the unnamed wife in 1174 was the same person as Béatrix named in 1235, the couple’s marriage would have lasted more than 60 years which seems “highly improbable”[1556]. Ebles’s wife was mentioned, but not named, in his 1200 charter cited above, although there is no guarantee that the 1200 wife was the same person as his 1174 wife, nor that she was the mother of all of his six children who are named in the 1200 document. The problem then arises in identifying the parentage of this unnamed first wife of Ebles [III]. Citing the 6 Nov 1252 charter, Charrière suggests that she “aurait été alors la fille du comte Amédée I”[1557]. If this suggestion is correct, she would have been born from the second marriage of Amédée [I] Comte de Genève which is dated to [1137/40?] (see the document BURGUNDY KINGDOM-GENEVOIS). In a different book, Charrière suggests that Ebles’s wife was the daughter of Humbert Comte de Genève[1558], which is unlikely to be correct if Humbert’s birth is correctly estimated to [1150/60?] (BURGUNDY KINGDOM-GENEVOIS). A further possibility is that the family relationship referred to in the 6 Nov 1252 charter was through the female line, an ancestress of Ebles’s wife being a daughter of the Genevois family. It should be borne in mind that the term “consanguineus” could by the mid-13th century have included quite remote blood family relationships, particularly if the bishop was an individual of some prestige with whom Comte Guillaume [II] may have wished to emphasise a family connection to boost his own standing or if Guillaume wished to flatter the bishop (from a seigneurial family) by emphasing his connection with a comital family. Until more information comes to light, the name and parentage of the [first] wife of Ebles [III] is shown as unknown.

[m secondly [as her first husband,] BEATRIX, daughter of --- (-after 1235, [bur Joux]). “E. dominus Grandisoni” confirmed his donation of harvest and one silver cup to Lausanne cathedral, for the anniversaries of “nostro et Beatricis uxoris nostre”, with the consent of “fillis nostris...H...domino de Chanuenz et P. domino de Grantson et Antonia uxore condam filii nostri G. domini Sarrate et filiis eius .s. ai. et. W. et Iordana filia ipsius”, by charter dated Oct 1234[1559]. “Ebalus dominus Grandissoni” donated property to Lac-de-Joux abbey, for the anniversaries of “mee et uxoris mee Beatricis ac liberorum et antecessorum meorum”, and for the future burials of the donor and his wife, with the consent of “filiorum meorum...Henrici domini de Chanuenz et Petri domini Grandissoni et...Anthonie domine Sarrate condam uxoris Gyrardi filii mei et liberorum suorum Aymonis, Willermi et Jordane”, by charter dated 1235[1560]. As noted above, there is no guarantee that Ebles’s wife Beatrix was the same person as his unnamed wife referred to in the charters cited above under his supposed first wife.] [The necrology of Lausanne records the death 9 Jul of “dna Beatrix, dna de Grandissono” who had donated “pro qua et pro se ipse Humbertus maritus eius” harvest and a silver cup[1561]. If this entry relates to the [second] wife of Ebles [III] de Grandson, she married secondly Humbert, whose family origin has not been ascertained. Williams highlights that these were the same donations recorded in the 1234 charter of Ebles [III], suggesting the possibility of a scribal error in the necrology[1562].]

Ebles [III] & his [first] wife had nine children [the 31 Jan 1244 (O.S.) charter cited below under his son Othon indicates that the latter was the full brother of Aimon. As the name order in the 1200 charter (in which six brothers are named) names Othon but not Aimon, the assumption has been made that all these children shared the same mother, until a contrary indication emerges]. Williams discusses their possible dates of birth[1563]:

1. EBLES de Grandson ([1175?]-after 1200). “Yblo dominus de Grancionis” donated serfs to Romainmôtier, after “Hugo filius meus” entered as a monk, with the consent of “uxor mea et filii mei Yblo, Girardus, Henricus, Willelmus, Otto, Petrus et ceteri omnes”, by charter dated 1200[1564]. same person as...? EBLES de Grandson (-after 30 Jul 1238). It seems odd that the oldest son (according to the name order in the 1200 charter) should later join the church. Maybe Ebles named in 1200 died soon afterwards and was replaced by another son given the same name, who was the bishop. Bishop of Lacedæmon/Lakedaimon [Peloponnesos]: “I[blo]...Lacedemonensis episcopus”, having received rights “de manu H[ugonis] prioris Paterniaci fratris nostri carnalis...domum de Balmis”, founded his anniversary at Payerne, “Aymo...Gebennensis episcopus, Willermus thesaurarius Lausannensis, Otto decanus Noui Castri, Henricus dominus de Chanvenz, Petrus dominus de Granzon” consenting at the request of “ipsius fratris nostri, Lacedemonensis episcopi”, by charter dated 30 Jul 1238[1565]. Williams discusses Bishop Ebles and the origin of his bishopric[1566].

2. GERARD de Grandson (-[28 Sep 1233/18 May 1234]). “Yblo dominus de Grancionis” donated serfs to Romainmôtier, after “Hugo filius meus” entered as a monk, with the consent of “uxor mea et filii mei Yblo, Girardus, Henricus, Willelmus, Otto, Petrus et ceteri omnes”, by charter dated 1200[1567]. “Giraldus et Henricus et Petrus fratres de Granciuno...” witnessed the charter dated [25 Mar 1225/24 Mar 1226] under which “comites de Chiburhc Wernherus et H” sold property to “domino Haymoni de Fuciniaco”[1568]. Seigneur de la Sarraz: as noted above, Williams dates the distribution of territories by Ebles [III] to his three surviving lay sons to “probably in 1225, between April and July” (bearing in mind the [25 Mar 1225/24 Mar 1226] charter in which they were named “de Granciuno” and the 14 Aug 1225 document in which Gérard was associated with La Sarraz)[1569]. “...Girardus de Sarata...” witnessed a charter dated 14 Aug 1225 issued by “Iordanus dominus de Belmont” for Lausanne Notre-Dame[1570]. “...Yeblo de Granzon et Girardus de Sarata...” witnessed the charter dated 18 Jun 1226 which records a dispute between the bishop of Lausanne and “Haimonem dominum de Fucinie” concerning “atvocacia Lausannensi”[1571]. “Ebalus dominus Grandissoni” restored property “aput Sanctum Desiderium”, previously held by “Uldricus de Sarrata...et pater eius” and donated by “felicis recordationis Jordana mater mea”, to Romainmôtier, with the consent “ab uxore filii mei Girardi domini Sarrete...et...dicto G filio meo”, by charter dated 28 Sep 1233, sealed by “ego Ebalus dominus Grandissoni et ego Antonia domina Sarrete”[1572]. He is named as deceased in the 18 May 1234 charter of his wife quoted below. m ANTOINETTE, daughter of --- (-after 1235). “Ebalus dominus Grandissoni” restored property “aput Sanctum Desiderium”, previously held by “Uldricus de Sarrata...et pater eius” and donated by “felicis recordationis Jordana mater mea”, to Romainmôtier, with the consent “ab uxore filii mei Girardi domini Sarrete...et...dicto G filio meo”, by charter dated 28 Sep 1233, sealed by “ego Ebalus dominus Grandissoni et ego Antonia domina Sarrete”[1573]. “Anthonia domina Sarrate” confirmed donations made by “felicis recordationis Gyrardi...mariti mei” to various churches, with the consent of “[filiorum] meorum Aymonis...et Willermi et Jordani filie mee”, by charter dated 18 May 1234[1574]. “E. dominus Grandisoni” confirmed his donation of harvest and one silver cup to Lausanne cathedral, for the anniversaries of “nostro et Beatricis uxoris nostre”, with the consent of “fillis nostris...H...domino de Chanuenz et P. domino de Grantson et Antonia uxore condam filii nostri G. domini Sarrate et filiis eius .s. ai. et.

Gérard & his wife had three children:

a) AIMON ([1205/10?]-before 19 Dec 1269). “Anthonia domina Sarrate” confirmed donations made by “felicis recordationis Gyrardi...mariti mei” to various churches, with the consent of “[filiorum] meorum Aymonis...et Willermi et Jordani filie mee”, by charter dated 18 May 1234[1577]. “E. dominus Grandisoni” confirmed his donation of harvest and one silver cup to Lausanne cathedral, for the anniversaries of “nostro et Beatricis uxoris nostre”, with the consent of “fillis nostris...H...domino de Chanuenz et P. domino de Grantson et Antonia uxore condam filii nostri G. domini Sarrate et filiis eius .s. ai. et. W. et Iordana filia ipsius”, by charter dated Oct 1234[1578]. “Ebalus dominus Grandissoni” donated property to Lac-de-Joux abbey, with the consent of “filiorum meorum...Henrici domini de Chanuenz et Petri domini Grandissoni et...Anthonie domine Sarrate condam uxoris Gyrardi filii mei et liberorum suorum Aymonis, Willermi et Jordane”, by charter dated 1235[1579]. Seigneur de la Sarraz: Aimon Bishop of Geneva recorded that “Henricus dominus de Chanvent frater noster” donated property to Bonmont, with the consent of “Petri et Galcherii filiorum suorum et Aymonis domini Sarrate nepotis sui”, by charter dated 3 Feb 1251[1580]. The Dictionnaire Historique de Vaud (which does not cite sources) records that Jacques de Grandson swore homage to “Aimon de La Sarraz” for Belmont in 1272[1581]. The date must be incorrect considering that Aimon’s daughter was named as Dame de la Sarraz in the 19 Dec 1269 charter quoted below, indicating that Aimon must have been deceased at the time. m ---. The name of Aimon’s wife is not known. Aimon & his wife had three children:

i) HENRIETTE de la Sarraz ([1240?]-5 Apr 1322[1582]). The primary source which confirms her parentage has not been identified, but her inheritance of la Sarraz suggests that she was the daughter of Aimon. Dame de la Sarraz. “Henrieta domina Sarrate” shared her territories with “Jordana et Jaqueta sorores nostre” by charter dated 19 Dec 1269, which names “meo domino Humberto de Montefranco et domino Sarrete...Willelmi thesaurarii Lausannensis patrui nostri”[1583]. Europäische Stammtfalen shows this couple’s descendants, Seigneurs de la Sarraz[1584]. m (before 19 Dec 1269) HUMBERT de Montferrand, son of --- (-[1283/87]). Letters dated 1277 record the sale by “dominum Aymonem de Monnet militem, dominam Jaquetam eius uxorem domino Humberto domino de Sarrata de Avoeria abbatie de Lacu Jurensi”[1585].

ii) JORDANE de la Sarraz (-after Aug 1288). “Henrieta domina Sarrate” shared her territories with “Jordana et Jaqueta sorores nostre” by charter dated 19 Dec 1269, which names “meo domino Humberto de Montefranco et domino Sarrete...Willelmi thesaurarii Lausannensis patrui nostri”[1586]. The absence of a husband’s name suggests that Jordane was unmarried at the time, although the 15 May 1282 marriage contract of her oldest daughter indicates her parents’ marriage soon after 1269. The Dictionnaire Historique de Vaud (which does not cite sources) records that suzerainty over Belmont (for which Jacques de Grandson swore homage to “Aimon de La Sarraz” in 1272, see above) “passa à la maison de Neuchâtel par le mariage de Jordane de La Sarraz avec Amédée sire de Neuchâtel”, noting that “Rodolphe seigneur de Neuchâtel revendit cet hommage à Louis de Savoie sire de Vaud en 1308”[1587]. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the following document: a charter dated Aug 1288 records a sale to “Henriette de la Sarraz et à Jean de Montferrand son frère” by “Jordane sœur de la première et Rollin fils de Jordane” of land and “de tous leurs droits de garde et d’avouerie su l’abbaye et la vallée du Lac-de-Joux...”[1588]. m ([19 Dec 1269/1270?]) AMEDEE Seigneur de Neuchâtel, son of RODOLPHE [IV] Seigneur de Neuchâtel & his second wife Sibylle de Montbéliard (-3 Feb 1286).

iii) JACQUETTE de la Sarraz . “Henrieta domina Sarrate” shared her territories with “Jordana et Jaqueta sorores nostre” by charter dated 19 Dec 1269, which names “meo domino Humberto de Montefranco et domino Sarrete...Willelmi thesaurarii Lausannensis patrui nostri”[1589].

b) GUILLAUME (-after 1235). “Anthonia domina Sarrate” confirmed donations made by “felicis recordationis Gyrardi...mariti mei” to various churches, with the consent of “[filiorum] meorum Aymonis...et Willermi et Jordani filie mee”, by charter dated 18 May 1234[1590]. “E. dominus Grandisoni” confirmed his donation of harvest and one silver cup to Lausanne cathedral, for the anniversaries of “nostro et Beatricis uxoris nostre”, with the consent of “fillis nostris...H...domino de Chanuenz et P. domino de Grantson et Antonia uxore condam filii nostri G. domini Sarrate et filiis eius .s. ai. et.

c) JORDANE ([1220/25?]-after 1235). Her birth is estimated on the assumption that she was unmarried when named in the 1234/1235 charters cited below. “Anthonia domina Sarrate” confirmed donations made by “felicis recordationis Gyrardi...mariti mei” to various churches, with the consent of “[filiorum] meorum Aymonis...et Willermi et Jordani filie mee”, by charter dated 18 May 1234[1593]. “E. dominus Grandisoni” confirmed his donation of harvest and one silver cup to Lausanne cathedral, for the anniversaries of “nostro et Beatricis uxoris nostre”, with the consent of “fillis nostris...H...domino de Chanuenz et P. domino de Grantson et Antonia uxore condam filii nostri G. domini Sarrate et filiis eius .s. ai. et.

3. HENRI de Grandson (-after 1266). “Yblo dominus de Grancionis” donated serfs to Romainmôtier, after “Hugo filius meus” entered as a monk, with the consent of “uxor mea et filii mei Yblo, Girardus, Henricus, Willelmus, Otto, Petrus et ceteri omnes”, by charter dated 1200[1597]. “Giraldus et Henricus et Petrus fratres de Granciuno...” witnessed the charter dated [25 Mar 1225/24 Mar 1226] under which “comites de Chiburhc Wernherus et H” sold property to “domino Haymoni de Fuciniaco”[1598]. Seigneur de Champvent: as noted above, Williams dates the distribution of territories by Ebles [III] to his three surviving lay sons to “probably in 1225, between April and July” (bearing in mind the [25 Mar 1225/24 Mar 1226] charter in which they were named “de Granciuno” and the 14 Aug 1225 document in which Gérard was associated with La Sarraz, see above)[1599]. The marriage contract between “Henri Seigneur de Champvent...[his] son Vaucher” and “Guillaume seigneur de Vufflens...[his] daughter” is dated to [1231][1600]. “E. dominus Grandisoni” confirmed his donation of harvest and one silver cup to Lausanne cathedral, for the anniversaries of “nostro et Beatricis uxoris nostre”, with the consent of “fillis nostris...H...domino de Chanuenz et P. domino de Grantson et Antonia uxore condam filii nostri G. domini Sarrate et filiis eius .s. ai. et.

The testament of “Guillaume de Champvent évêque de Lausanne”, dated 20 May 1301, made bequests to “...son frère Pierre seigneur de Champvent...Humbert de Champvent son neveu...”[1627]. It is possible that the beneficiary Humbert was a son of Pierre, but this suggestion has not been confirmed.]

b) GUILLAUME de Grandson [de Champvent] (-after 20 May 1301). Charrière names Guillaume as second son of Henri de Grandson-Champvent, recording that he succeeded Jean de Cossonay as Bishop of Lausanne[1628]. The testament of “Guillaume de Champvent évêque de Lausanne”, dated 20 May 1301, made bequests to “Pierre d’Oron co-seigneur de Vevey...son frère Pierre seigneur de Champvent...Humbert de Champvent son neveu...”, and named as executors “...Otton de Champvent son frère, Jean seigneur de Cossonay son neveu...”[1629].

c) OTHON de Grandson [de Champvent] (-[1312]). Charrière names Othon as third son of Henri de Grandson-Champvent, recording that he succeeded Gérard de Vuippens as Bishop of Lausanne in 1310[1630]. His family connection is confirmed by the 20 May 1301 testament of his brother cited below. Dean of Seliriac: Pope Nicholas IV, by bull dated 13 Dec 1289, granted indult, at the request of “Odo de Grandison”, to “Otto de Chauvent to hold the deanery of Seliriæ in the diocese of Geneva and also the churches of Hatthunte (Havant) and Tuwrinton, in the dioceses of Winchester and York...”[1631]. The testament of “Guillaume de Champvent évêque de Lausanne”, dated 20 May 1301, named as executors “...Otton de Champvent son frère, Jean seigneur de Cossonay son neveu...”[1632]. Letters dated 10 Feb 1303 record “Otto de Chaumpvent, going with [Otto de Grandisono...beyond the seas...] nominating John de Grandisono and John de Cusancia, clerks, his attorneys for two years”, and an order dated 14 Mar 1303 granted “safe-conduct, until midsummer, for Otto de Chaumpvent, going beyond seas to Otto de Grandisono, who is on the king’s service, and his men”[1633]. Bishop of Lausanne 1310.

d) [GIRARD de Grandson [de Champvent] . Charrière names Girard as fourth son of Henri de Grandson-Champvent[1634]. This information has not been verified.]

e) GAUCHER de Grandson [de Champvent] . Aimon Bishop of Geneva recorded that “Henricus dominus de Chanvent frater noster” donated property to Bonmont, with the consent of “Petri et Galcherii filiorum suorum et Aymonis domini Sarrate nepotis sui”, by charter dated 3 Feb 1251[1635]. m (contract [1231]) --- de Vufflens, daughter of GUILLAUME Seigneur de Vufflens & his wife ---. The marriage contract between “Henri Seigneur de Champvent...[his] son Vaucher” and “Guillaume seigneur de Vufflens...[his] daughter” is dated to [1231][1636].

f) JORDANE de Champvent (-30 Mar [1297/1303], bur Lausanne Notre-Dame). The primary source which confirms her first marriage has not been identified. Charrière suggests her connection with the la Tour-de-Châtillon family, noting that “le vidommat d’Ollon et la co-seigneurie de Bex appartenaient avant dame Jordane de Cossonay à la maison de la Tour-Châtillon”, but does not make the connection with Girold [II] de la Tour being her first husband[1637]. Charrière records her parentage and [second] marriage (without mentioning the first)[1638]. In a later work, Charrière suggests that Jordane’s possession of le vidomnat d’Ollon and ¹/₃ of the seigneurie de Bex is best explained if, before she married Jacques de Cossonay, she had married “un seigneur de la maison de la Tour, le chevalier Aymon, croyons-nous”[1639]. In a later correction to this last suggestion, Charrière argues that Jordane’s husband must have been Girold [II] de la Tour after eliminating other possibilities, corroborated by a 8 Jul 1305 document of Saint-Maurice which records that the vidomnat d’Ollon was then held by “dominus Burcardus...et domina Ysabella eius uxor” [Bourcard de la Roche & Isabelle de Greysier, Jordane’s possible granddaughter (see below)] and that previously it was held by “dominum Girodum de Turre quondam militem et...postea...domina Jordana eius uxor”[1640]. Accounts dated 1266 and 1267 record payments to “hominibus domine Jordane de Turre” who fought “apud Massongie, contra illos de Sancto Mauricio”[1641]. It should be noted that no document has been found which names Jordane’s second husband. While his identity is implied by the Cossonay documents in which she and her son are named, it is not claimed that his identity is more than a reasonable conjecture on the basis of the available circumstantial evidence and the conclusion of earlier scholarship. “Jordana domina de Cosonay...” witnessed the charter dated May 1274 under which “Petrus dictus pans de Grancie domicellus” relinquished rights in “decima Sti Petri...in villa...Sonarclens” [Senarclens] in favour of Romainmôtier[1642]. “Jordane dame de Cossonay, du consentement de Jean son fils” granted certain properties to “Pierre d’Ecublens” by charter dated 6 Jul 1276[1643]. “Jordana dna de Cosonay...” witnessed the charter dated Aug 1277 under which “Perreta relicta Willelmi de Rota [de Rue] burg. de Cosonay, Humbertus, Henricus, Jacobus et Jordana eiusdem filii” sold property in “Monte la Vila” to Romainmôtier[1644]. “Perrinus filius quondam Aubertet de Cossonay” sold property “in vila...Monte Vila” [Mont-la-Ville] to Romainmôtier, with the consent of “Perrete uxoris mee”, by charter dated Feb 1277 (O.S.), witnessed by “Jordana dna de Cosonay...”[1645]. “Jordane dame de Cossonay” enfeoffed “Jean et Pierre, fils de Pierre de Senarclens” with certain properties by charter dated Dec 1278[1646]. A judgment dated 1279 confirmed the jurisdictional rights of “Jordane dame de Cossonay et vidomne d’Ollon” in criminal prosecutions[1647]. A charter dated Apr 1279 records an agreement between “Jordane dame de Cossonay, Jean son fils” and “Jean de Cossonay dit Senarclens” regarding the fiefs of the latter[1648]. “Jordana domina de Cossennay et Johannes filius eius dominus eiusdem loci” confirmed the donation of “decimam suam de Chiblie” [Chibliez] made to Cossonay priory by “domini de Cossonay, predecessores nostri” by charter dated Nov 1282[1649]. “Jordane dame de Cossonay et Jean son fils seigneur de ce lieu” mortgaged “leurs dîmes de Thierrens, de Correvon, d’Ogens, de Glatigny...” to the chapter of Lausanne by charter dated May 1292[1650]. A charter dated Jan 1292 (O.S.) records an exchange between “Pierre d’Allyens” and “Jordane dame de Cossonay et Jean son fils”[1651]. A charter dated 4 Apr/23 May 1297 records an arbitral judgment between Saint-Maurice and “Jordanam dominam de Cossonay et Aymonem de Greisie [Greisy] domicellum tutoris...Alexie, Beatricis, Ysabelle et Jaquete filiarum ipsius Ay(monis) ac Francisci filii eiusdem Ay(monis)” concerning “vicedominatum de Oluns”[1652]. The necrology of Lausanne Cathedral records the death 30 Mar of “dna Jordana de Chanuent mater dni Johannis dni de Cossonay”[1653]. m firstly GIROLD [II] Seigneur de la Tour, son of GIROLD [I] Seigneur de la Tour & his wife --- (-[1 Sep 1263/1266]). m secondly JACQUES Seigneur de Cossonay, son of HUMBERT [II] Seigneur de Cossonay & his wife Contesson de Montbéliard (-[before May 1274).

4. GUILLAUME de Grandson (-10 Jul [1255?]). “Yblo dominus de Grancionis” donated serfs to Romainmôtier, after “Hugo filius meus” entered as a monk, with the consent of “uxor mea et filii mei Yblo, Girardus, Henricus, Willelmus, Otto, Petrus et ceteri omnes”, by charter dated 1200[1654]. Thesaurarius of Lausanne: “I[blo]...Lacedemonensis episcopus”, having received absolution from “H[ugonis] prioris Paterniaci fratris nostri carnalis”, founded his anniversary at Payerne, “Aymo...Gebennensis episcopus, Willermus thesaurarius Lausannensis, Otto decanus Noui Castri, Henricus dominus de Chanvenz, Petrus dominus de Granzon” consenting at the request of “ipsius fratris nostri, Lacedemonensis episcopi”, by charter dated 30 Jul 1238[1655]. Pope Innocent IV granted dispensation to “Willelmo thesaurarius Lausanensi” to accept more benefices, dated 13 Jan 1244 (O.S.)[1656]. The necrology of Lausanne Cathedral records the death 10 Jul of “Willermus thesaurarius noster” and his donation for his anniversary[1657].

5. OTHON de Grandson (-27 Feb, 1257 or after, bur Lausanne Cathedral). Doyen de Neuchâtel. “Yblo dominus de Grancionis” donated serfs to Romainmôtier, after “Hugo filius meus” entered as a monk, with the consent of “uxor mea et filii mei Yblo, Girardus, Henricus, Willelmus, Otto, Petrus et ceteri omnes”, by charter dated 1200[1658]. “I[blo]...Lacedemonensis episcopus”, having received absolution from “H[ugonis] prioris Paterniaci fratris nostri carnalis”, founded his anniversary at Payerne, “Aymo...Gebennensis episcopus, Willermus thesaurarius Lausannensis, Otto decanus Noui Castri, Henricus dominus de Chanvenz, Petrus dominus de Granzon” consenting at the request of “ipsius fratris nostri, Lacedemonensis episcopi”, by charter dated 30 Jul 1238[1659]. Pope Innocent IV granted dispensation to “O[ctoni] decano Novi Castri Lausannensis diocesis, germano...fratris nostro...episcopi Gebennensis [=Aimon de Grandson, see below]” to accept more benefices, dated 31 Jan 1244 (O.S.)[1660]. His testament is dated 1 Dec 1256 and he was buried in Lausanne Cathedral[1661]. The necrology of Lausanne Cathedral records the death 27 Feb of “dns Octo de Grandissono decanus Novicastri can. noster” and his donations for his anniversary[1662].

6. PIERRE de Grandson ([1186]-[29 Dec 1257/15 Jul 1259]). “Yblo dominus de Grancionis” donated serfs to Romainmôtier, after “Hugo filius meus” entered as a monk, with the consent of “uxor mea et filii mei Yblo, Girardus, Henricus, Willelmus, Otto, Petrus et ceteri omnes”, by charter dated 1200[1663]. Seigneur de Grandson.

- see below.

7. HUGUES de Grandson (-[1239]). The position of Hugues among his parents’ sons is unknown. “Yblo dominus de Grancionis” donated serfs to Romainmôtier, after “Hugo filius meus” entered as a monk (“factus fuit monachus”), with the consent of “uxor mea et filii mei Yblo, Girardus, Henricus, Willelmus, Otto, Petrus et ceteri omnes”, by charter dated 1200[1664]. Williams highlights the difficulty of dating Hugues’s birth year due to the difficulties of interpreting the phrase “factus fuit monachus”[1665]. Prior of Payerne: “I[blo]...Lacedemonensis episcopus”, having received absolution from “H[ugonis] prioris Paterniaci fratris nostri carnalis”, founded his anniversary at Payerne, “Aymo...Gebennensis episcopus, Willermus thesaurarius Lausannensis, Otto decanus Noui Castri, Henricus dominus de Chanvenz, Petrus dominus de Granzon” consenting at the request of “ipsius fratris nostri, Lacedemonensis episcopi”, by charter dated 30 Jul 1238[1666]. Williams indicates that his last act was dated 28 Jan 1238 (O.S.) and that he probably died in 1239 as his successor first appeared in 1240[1667].

8. AIMON de Grandson ([before 1190?]-21 Oct [1262]). Aimon was not named in his father’s 1200 charter, suggesting that he was one of “ceteri omnes” and therefore was younger than his named brothers. The date of his episcopal appointment indicates that he was already born at the time. Williams, noting that Aimon was cited as a canon at Lausanne cathedral in 1209 and as subdeacon at Lausanne in 1210[1668], suggests that he would have been at least 20 years old at the time of the latter appointment[1669]. Bishop of Geneva 1215. “I[blo]...Lacedemonensis episcopus”, having received absolution from “H[ugonis] prioris Paterniaci fratris nostri carnalis”, founded his anniversary at Payerne, “Aymo...Gebennensis episcopus, Willermus thesaurarius Lausannensis, Otto decanus Noui Castri, Henricus dominus de Chanvenz, Petrus dominus de Granzon” consenting at the request of “ipsius fratris nostri, Lacedemonensis episcopi”, by charter dated 30 Jul 1238[1670]. Aimon Bishop of Geneva recorded that “Henricus dominus de Chanvent frater noster” donated property to Bonmont, with the consent of “Petri et Galcherii filiorum suorum et Aymonis domini Sarrate nepotis sui”, by charter dated 3 Feb 1251[1671]. Gallia Christiana records that he resigned his bishopric in 1260[1672]. The necrology of Lausanne Cathedral records the death 21 Oct of “Aymo Gebenn. episcopus” and his donations for his anniversary[1673].

9. [--- de Grandson (-after 1200). He was not named in his father’s 1200 charter, but the phrase “ceteri omnes” suggests the existence of two or more younger children at the time.]

Williams discusses the possible parentage of Amédée de Grandson, concluding only that he was probably belonged to a collateral branch of the family “of which there are several possibilities”[1674].

1. AMEDEE de Grandson (-after 2 Jun 1278). “Amys de Grandisono” renounced claims over “parte vinee dicte de Gerenstein, site juxta albam ecclesiam”, donated by “filiis quondam Mangoldi” to “prepositum de Capellis et ecclesiam suam” [Kappel im Forst], for the souls of himself “et uxore mea Benedicta et Othone filio meo”, by charter dated 2 Jun 1278[1675]. m BENEDICTA von Gerenstein, daughter of MANEGOLD von Gerenstein & his wife --- (-after 2 Jun 1278). “Ulricus et Willelmus frater meus et Benedicta soror nostra, liberi quondam Manegoldi de Turri dicti de Ghernesten” sold “vineam que dicitur de Fafenacho, sitam prope albam ecclesiam in...Ghernesten”, donated by “dictus Manegoldus noster progenitor” to “Rodulfo preposito Capelle de Foresto” [Kappel im Forst], by charter dated 30 Dec 1276[1676]. “Amys de Grandisono” renounced claims over “parte vinee dicte de Gerenstein, site juxta albam ecclesiam”, donated by “filiis quondam Mangoldi” to “prepositum de Capellis et ecclesiam suam” [Kappel im Forst], for the souls of himself “et uxore mea Benedicta et Othone filio meo”, by charter dated 2 Jun 1278[1677]. Williams provides some other information about the lords of Gerenstein[1678]. Amédée & [his wife] had one child:

a) OTHON de Grandson . “Amys de Grandisono” renounced claims over “parte vinee dicte de Gerenstein, site juxta albam ecclesiam”, donated by “filiis quondam Mangoldi” to “prepositum de Capellis et ecclesiam suam” [Kappel im Forst], for the souls of himself “et uxore mea Benedicta et Othone filio meo”, by charter dated 2 Jun 1278[1679]. The document does not specify that Benedicta was the mother of Othon, although the phrasing is not conclusive to decide that she was not.

PIERRE [I] de Grandson, son of EBLES [III] Seigneur de Grandson & his [first] wife --- [de Genève] ([1186]-[29 Dec 1257/15 Jul 1259]). Williams estimates Pierre’s birth to “around 1186”[1680], which seems a reasonable suggestion based on the family chronology. “Yblo dominus de Grancionis” donated serfs to Romainmôtier, after “Hugo filius meus” entered as a monk, with the consent of “uxor mea et filii mei Yblo, Girardus, Henricus, Willelmus, Otto, Petrus et ceteri omnes”, by charter dated 1200[1681]. Letters dated 1 Sep 1317 record the settlement of a dispute between “dominum Petrum de Grandissono” and “Johannem de Chanvenz”, under which the latter swore allegiance to “domino Ottoni, domino Grandissoni” and acknowledged “castrum et mandamentum de Chanvenz...in feudum ab eodem quamdiu ipse dominus Otto vixerit...”[1682]. “Giraldus et Henricus et Petrus fratres de Granciuno...” witnessed the charter dated [25 Mar 1225/24 Mar 1226] under which “comites de Chiburhc Wernherus et H” sold property to “domino Haymoni de Fuciniaco”[1683]. Seigneur de Grandson: as noted above, Williams dates the distribution of territories by Ebles [III] to his three surviving lay sons to “probably in 1225, between April and July” (bearing in mind the [25 Mar 1225/24 Mar 1226] charter in which they were named “de Granciuno” and the 14 Aug 1225 document in which Gérard was associated with La Sarraz, see above)[1684]. “Petri domini de Granzon...” is named among the valuers of a fief granted by “Petro de Sabaudia, filio Thome quondam comitis Sabaudie” to “Amedeus D. de Jaiz” by charter dated 12 Jun 1234[1685]. “E. dominus Grandisoni” confirmed his donation of harvest and one silver cup to Lausanne cathedral, for the anniversaries of “nostro et Beatricis uxoris nostre”, with the consent of “fillis nostris...H...domino de Chanuenz et P. domino de Grantson et Antonia uxore condam filii nostri G. domini Sarrate et filiis eius .s. ai. et. W. et Iordana filia ipsius”, by charter dated Oct 1234[1686]. “Ebalus dominus Grandissoni” donated property to Lac-de-Joux abbey, with the consent of “filiorum meorum...Henrici domini de Chanuenz et Petri domini Grandissoni et...Anthonie domine Sarrate condam uxoris Gyrardi filii mei et liberorum suorum Aymonis, Willermi et Jordane”, by charter dated 1235[1687]. “I[blo]...Lacedemonensis episcopus”, having received absolution from “H[ugonis] prioris Paterniaci fratris nostri carnalis”, founded his anniversary at Payerne, “Aymo...Gebennensis episcopus, Willermus thesaurarius Lausannensis, Otto decanus Noui Castri, Henricus dominus de Chanvenz, Petrus dominus de Granzon” consenting at the request of “ipsius fratris nostri, Lacedemonensis episcopi”, by charter dated 30 Jul 1238[1688]. Williams records numerous other biographical details about Pierre’s career, citing extensive primary source material[1689]. A charter dated 28 Sep 1257 records “Reinauz de Valmarcuel” pledging property “en la vile de Monstruil...” to “Perroin segnor de Granzon et a dama Annes sa feme”[1690]. [The necrology of Lausanne records the death 2 Jul of “Petrus dns Grandissoni”[1691]. There is no indication to which Pierre de Grandson this entry refers.]

[m firstly ---. David Williams has suggested the possibility that Pierre [I] married twice, given his estimated birth in [1186], although he highlights that “there is no known evidence of [an earlier marriage]” and concludes that “for the purposes of [his] study...[he] accepted the traditional view that Agnès was the mother of all Pierre’s children”[1692]. Nevertheless, some of the cases in which members of other noble families in the Vaud/Freibourg area are called “nephew/nepos” of Pierre [I]’s (shown immediately after Pierre’s children below) could best be explained if they were descendants of daughters born from such an earlier marriage.]

m [secondly] ([1236/40?]) [as her first husband?] AGNES de Neuchâtel, daughter of ULRIC [IV] Comte de Neuchâtel & [his second wife Jolanthe von Urach] ([1222/25?]-after 15 Apr 1283, bur [Grandson Priory]). The Chronicle of Matthias Nuewenburgensis records that “Ulricus comitis Novicastri” had “multas filias” who married “dominis de Toggenburg, de Falkenstein, de Rötellein, de Regensberg, de Grandisono”[1693]. Agnes was presumably one of her father’s youngest children, considering that she had sons who were still minors 31 Aug 1263 as shown by the charter cited below. She was presumably therefore born from her father’s second marriage (or from an otherwise unrecorded third marriage). Her marriage date is suggested from the likely birth dates of her children shown below, which in turn suggests her birth in the last years of her father’s life. Williams discusses an alternate theory linking her to the Chiny family[1694]. A charter dated 28 Sep 1257 records “Reinauz de Valmarcuel” pledging property “en la vile de Monstruil...” to “Perroin segnor de Granzon et a dama Annes sa feme”[1695]. “Agnes domina de Grandisono, tutrix...liberorum nostrorum Petri et Willelmi, Girardus, Jaquetus et Henricus pro se et fratre suo Otonino, filii predicte domine” exchanged property with “Petro comiti Sabaudie” by charter dated 31 Aug 1263[1696]. “Agnes domina de Grandissoni” confirmed the allegiance of “Perrinus dominus de Vaumarquier” to her “ad opus...domini Otonis militis domini Grandissoni filii mei” and confirmed his donation to his daughter Isabelle by charter dated 15 Apr 1283[1697]. [The possibility that Agnès married secondly (after 31 Aug 1363) [as his second wife,] --- Seigneur de Bonvillars, son of ---, is speculative, as a suggested explanation for her son Othon de Grandson naming Henri de Bonvillars “mon frere le prior de Wenloc”. Follow this hyperlink for full discussion of this hypothesis.] Her place of burial is indicated by the Jul 1298 testament of “Agnès de Grandson veuve d’Ulrich de Vuippens” which requested burial at Humilimont (except her heart to be buried at Grandson priory “aux pieds de sa mère et de son frère”): this assumes that the younger Agnès was the daughter of the older, which looks likely as discussed below. If that is correct, no indication has been found of which of Agnès’s sons was buried with his mother (Pierre is suggested, see below).

Pierre [I] & his [second] wife had [nine] children (Williams records fill biographical details of the sons[1698], of which only a selection has been included below):

1. OTHON [I] de Grandson ([1238/41?]-12 Apr 1328, bur Lausanne Cathedral). His parentage is confirmed by his mother’s 31 Aug 1263 and 15 Apr 1283 charters. His birth date is suggested based on the estimated birth date of his brother Pierre (see below), and the likely marriage date of his parents. Seigneur de Grandson. “Agnes domina de Grandisono, tutrix...liberorum nostrorum Petri et Willelmi, Girardus, Jaquetus et Henricus pro se et fratre suo Otonino, filii predicte domine” exchanged property with “Petro comiti Sabaudie” by charter dated 31 Aug 1263[1699], indicating that Othon was adult and presumably absent at the time. The order of Othon’s birth relative to his brothers Gérard, Jacques and Henri is unspecified, but Othon’s succession as seigneur de Grandson suggests that he was the oldest. Wurstemberger reproduces an inaccurate version of the same charter reading “Agnetem dominam de Grandisono relictam domini Petri de Grandisono, tutricem filiorum suorum Petri, Willelmi, Girardi, Jaqueti, Henrici et Ottonini de Grandisono”[1700]. As Othon was absent for the 31 Aug 1363 charter, he may already have been in England: according to the Complete Peerage, he was recorded in England in 1265, when he received a grant of forfeited houses in the city of London[1701]. He accompanied Edward, son of King Henry III, on crusade: “...Sire Otes de Grauntson...” was named among the executors of Edward’s testament dated 17 Jun 1272 at Acre[1702]. An order dated 25 Nov 1275 announced that the custody of “the islands of Gernese and Geresaye” was granted to “Otto de Grandisono”, confirmed 25 Jan 1277 (“grant...for life...on account of his intimacy with the king, and his long and faithful service from an early age...and for five years after his decease”)[1703]. Othon was summoned to the English parliament from 1299, whereby he is held to have become Lord Grandson [Grandison][1704]. Letters dated 2 Dec 1304 record that “dominus Otto, dominus de Grandissono et dominus Petrus, dominus Bellimontis” confirmed receiving “castra sua de Cudrifino, de Grandicuria, et de Bella Rippa” in fief from “domino Ludovico de Sabaudia, domino Vuaudi”[1705]. The testament of Othon Seigneur de Grandson, dated 4 Apr 1328, chose burial at Lausanne cathedral[1706]: the full text of this testament has not been seen. The necrology of Lausanne records the death 12 Apr of “dnus Octho dns Grandissoni miles” and his donation[1707]. Kingsford reviewed many details of Othon’s life in the early 20th century[1708].

2. [AGNES de Grandson ([1240/45?]-9 Dec after 1313). Her family origin is confirmed by the necrology entry cited below. In addition, two of her sons are named as “nephews” of her supposed brother Othon de Grandson (follow her husband’s hyperlink for details). Her marriage date suggests her birth in the early- to mid-1240s, which in turn suggests that Agnès was the daughter of Pierre [I] de Grandson by his [second] wife. Her name reinforces the suggestion that she was the daughter of Agnès de Neuchâtel. The testament of “Agnès de Grandson veuve d’Ulrich de Vuippens”, dated Jul 1298, requested burial at Humilimont (except her heart to be buried at Grandson priory “aux pieds de sa mère et de son frère”), made numerous ecclesiastical bequests, and named “...son fils Gérard seigneur de Vuippens et archidiacre de Richmond...” among her executors[1709]. Agnès donated land “sises à Sorens” to Humilimont by charter dated Mar 1302[1710]. The necrology of Humilimont records the death of “dne Agnet de Gandeson dna de Wypeyns ix die decembris” and the Beaufort-Beauchamp book of hours “V Id Dec” of “dne Agnet de Gandeson dna de Wypeyns”[1711]. Dey says that Agnès “vivait encore en 1313” (no source cited)[1712]. m ([Nov 1257/[1260?]) as his second wife, ULRIC [I] Seigneur de Vuippens, son of --- (-11 Mar [1266/67]/[1268/Dec 1269]).]

3. GERARD de Grandson ([1243/46]-1278, bur Châtillon). His birth date is suggested based on the estimated birth date of his brother Pierre (see below). “Agnes domina de Grandisono, tutrix...liberorum nostrorum Petri et Willelmi, Girardus, Jaquetus et Henricus pro se et fratre suo Otonino, filii predicte domine” exchanged property with “Petro comiti Sabaudie” by charter dated 31 Aug 1263[1713], indicating that Gérard had reached the age of majority at the time. The order of names suggests that Gérard was older than his brothers Jacques and Henri. As noted above under his brother Othon, Wurstemberger reproduces an inaccurate version of the same charter. Bishop of Verdun 1276. The Annales Sancti Vitoni Virdunensis record the succession as bishop in 1276 of “Gerardus de Grandisono”, his death in 1278, and the succession of “frater eius Henricus de Grandissono”[1714]. Gallia Christiana records the burial at Châtillon of “Gerardus de Grandson 61 episcopus Virdunensis” who died 1278[1715].

4. JACQUES de Grandson ([1245/48?]-[1290/Feb 1294]). His birth date is suggested based on the estimated birth date of his brother Pierre (see below). “Agnes domina de Grandisono, tutrix...liberorum nostrorum Petri et Willelmi, Girardus, Jaquetus et Henricus pro se et fratre suo Otonino, filii predicte domine” exchanged property with “Petro comiti Sabaudie” by charter dated 31 Aug 1263[1716], indicating that Jacques had reached the age of majority at the time. As noted above under his brother Othon, Wurstemberger reproduces an inaccurate version of the same charter. Seigneur de Belmont: the Dictionnaire Historique de Vaud (which does not cite sources) records that Jacques de Grandson swore homage to “Aimon de La Sarraz” (see above) for Belmont in 1272[1717]. The date must be incorrect considering that Aimon’s daughter was named as Dame de la Sarraz in the 19 Dec 1269 charter quoted above, indicating that Aimon was deceased at the time. The homage suggests that Jacques had recently acquired Belmont, maybe on his marriage. Laure de Commercy Ctss d’Auxonne required “Jacon de Grandson seigneur de Belmont” and Henri [II] de Joux to assign land to Pierre de Grandson Seigneur de Champvent, in litigation with Amédée de Montbéliard Seigneur de Montfaucon, by charter dated 1275[1718]. Jacques presumably died before the following document: a mutual aid pact was agreed between local nobility, including “...Pierre de Grandson sire de Belmont et Jean son fils...”, by charter dated Feb 1293 (O.S.)[1719]. This document is discussed further under Pierre [II] de Grandson below. Jacques is named as deceased in the Papal dispensation for the marriage of his daughter Agnes, quoted below. m ([before Dec 1269] --- [heiress of Belmont?], daughter of ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Jacques’s wife has not been identified. Charrière shows “Blanche”, daughter of Richard de Belmont, married to Jacques de Grandson, son of Pierre [I] Seigneur de Grandson, in his “Tableau VI” (although he records no descendants of Richard in his narrative about the Belmont family)[1720]. This suggestion is followed by the Dictionnaire Historique de Vaud (which does not cite sources)[1721]. The transfer of Belmont to Jacques and his descendants is best explained by his marriage to the heiress of the fief. As Richard was old enough to approve a donation in a 1223 charter (follow Blanche’s hyperlink), it seems surprising that his daughter married Jacques only “before Dec 1269” (see above). A different perspective is provided by Debry: his reconstructed genealogy of the Dramelay/Neuchâtel family, 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 corresponding source[1722]. If Debry is correct, Jacques’s wife was Beatrix, daughter of [Richard de Neuchâtel [en Bourgogne] & his wife Marguerite [de Monfaucon]]. Europäische Stammtafeln also shows this marriage, presumably following Debry[1723]. Muller notes finding no source confirming the information, but adds that “nous nous rangeons donc ici à l’avis de J. Debry”[1724]. 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. Jacques & his wife had [five] children:

a) PIERRE [II] de Grandson (-2 Jul [1343]). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified, although it is indicated by his marriage contract. Seigneur de Belmont: the Dictionnaire Historique de Vaud records that Jacques’s son Pierre was “seigneur de Belmont dès l’année 1300”[1725]. The primary source which confirms this information has not been identified.

- see below.

b) [OTHON de Grandson (-1309). This person is named as “nephew” of Othon de Grandson in the 4 Mar 1301 document cited below. His mentions from 1299 indicate that he was too old to have been the son of Othon’s brother Guillaume (see below). The most likely explanation is that he was another son of Jacques de Grandson. An order dated 27 Sep 1299: “presentation of Otto de Grandisono to the church of Mamecestre, in the diocese of Coventry and Lichfield...”[1726]. [It is uncertain whether the following document relates to the same Othon: an order dated 2 Jun 1301 records a “commission of oyer and terminer to...Henry Spygurnel and Robert de Hereward touching the persons who by night assaulted Otto de Grandisono, clerk at Cambridge, and beat his men”[1727].] Pope Boniface VIII, by bull dated 4 Mar 1301, granted “provision...to Odo de Grandison nephew of Odo [de Grandison, knight], of a canonry and prebend of York, notwithstanding that he has canonries and prebends of Lausanne and Autun, and the churches of Manicestre, Wilquinton, and Picala (or Pickhill), in the dioceses of Chichester and York, the last two of which he is to resign”[1728]. Dixon and Raine, referring to the same grant, say that Othon was brother of Gérard de Grandson, prebendary of Apesthorpe (no source cited)[1729]: it is assumed that this was speculative based on both being named as “nephew” of Othon de Grandson. An order dated 8 Apr 1304 record “letters for Otto de Grandisono, parson of the church of Mammecestre, going beyond seas, nominating John Gousyn for two years”[1730]. Gallia Christiana records the election in 1306 of “Othonem scholasticum Tullensem, Bisuntinum archidiaconum et Virdunensem canonicum” as bishop of Toul, adding that “patruis habuit Gerardum et Henricum de Granson Virdunenses episcopos”[1731]. Bishop of Toul. Bishop of Basel 1306. Gallia Christiana records his transfer to the bishopric of Basel[1732].]

c) THIBAUT de Grandson (-[after 7 Sep 1349?]). His parentage is confirmed by the 17 Nov 1319 document cited below. Pope Boniface VIII, by bull dated 4 Mar 1301, granted “provision, at the request of Odo de Grandison de Grandison, knight, to his nephew Theobald, of a canonry at Lincoln, with reservation of a prebend, notwithstanding that he has canonries and prebends of Geneva and Wells, and the church of Eekington, in the diocese of Chichester, to hold which the pope gives him a dispensation”[1733]. An order dated 1 May 1302 records “Theobaldo de Grandisono, going beyond seas, nominating Peter de Cusancia for two years”[1734]. Letters dated 1 Mar 1303 record the “presentation of Reginald de Cusancia to a moiety of the church of Ekynton, void by the resignation of Theobald de Grandisono...”[1735]. Letters dated 17 Nov 1319 record “Theobaldo de Grandissono, filio domini Jacobi de Grandissono, domini Bellimontis” selling property “in villa et territorio de Loguorre, de Gerissens, de Murs et de Villar en Vuillier...” to “domino Othoni”[1736]. He is named in the document which names his son, quoted below. This document naming his father suggests that the latter may have been alive at that date, although this is surprising if he was the same person named 1 May 1302. Thibaut had one illegitimate child by an unknown mistress:

i) JEAN bâtard de Grandson (-after 7 Jul 1359). The testament of “Johanna domina de Grandisono”, dated 7 Sep 1349, was witnessed by “Johanne Humberto de Grandisono canonico Bisuntino et Lausanensi...Johanne dicto Le Bastard filio Theobaldo de Grandisono...”[1737]. “...Jean li batard...” is named among the army of Othon Seigneur de Grandson in a charter dated 7 Jul 1359[1738].

d) AGNES de Grandson (-[1331/2 Jan 1332]). Pope Boniface VIII granted dispensation for the marriage of “Aymoni Villelmi domino de Montaniaco” and “Agneti nate quondam Jacobi de Grandisono militis” dated 8 Dec 1295[1739]. A charter dated Aug 1328 records an agreement settling disputes between “Pierre seigneur de Grançon” and “Guillaume seigr de Montagny tant en son nom que...de la Dame Agnes sa mere sœur du dit Sieur de Grançon”[1740]. Charrière records her marriage but misstates her parentage)[1741]. Williams discusses Agnes, names her children, records other documents in which she is named, and suggests her date of death[1742]. m (Papal dispensation 8 Dec 1295) AIMON [III] de Montagny, son of GUILLAUME de Montagny & his wife --- (-before Aug 1328).

e) JACQUETTE de Grandson (-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[1743]. 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[1744]. 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[1745]. The earliest date of Jacquette’s first marriage is indicated by her first husband’s first wife being recorded in 1302. “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[1746]. 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”[1747]. The primary source which confirms her second marriage has not been identified. m firstly ([[1303]/31 Aug 1310]) as his second wife, ETIENNE [IV] d’Oiselay Seigneur de La Villeneuve, son of --- ([1260/70]-4 Oct 1310). m secondly JEAN de Bayon, son of PHILIPPE de Bayon Seigneur de Bayon & his wife Agnes de Riste (-[1340/Oct 1343]).

5. HENRI de Grandson ([1246/49?]-1286, bur Châtillon). His birth date is suggested based on the estimated birth date of his brother Pierre (see below). “Agnes domina de Grandisono, tutrix...liberorum nostrorum Petri et Willelmi, Girardus, Jaquetus et Henricus pro se et fratre suo Otonino, filii predicte domine” exchanged property with “Petro comiti Sabaudie” by charter dated 31 Aug 1263[1748], indicating that Henri had reached the age of majority at the time. As noted above under his brother Othon, Wurstemberger reproduces an inaccurate version of the same charter. An order dated 26 May 1276 records “simple protection, for two years, for Henry de Grandisono, parson of the church of Creystok”[1749]. Bishop of Verdun 1278. The Annales Sancti Vitoni Virdunensis record the succession as bishop in 1276 of “Gerardus de Grandisono”, his death in 1278, and the succession of “frater eius Henricus de Grandissono”[1750]. Gallia Christiana records the burial at Châtillon of “Henrice de Grandsono”[1751].

6. PIERRE de Grandson ([after] [1249]-[31 Aug 1263/Jul 1275], bur [Grandson Priory]). Under age in 1263: “Agnes domina de Grandisono, tutrix...liberorum nostrorum Petri et Willelmi, Girardus, Jaquetus et Henricus pro se et fratre suo Otonino, filii predicte domine” exchanged property with “Petro comiti Sabaudie” by charter dated 31 Aug 1263[1752]. As noted above under his brother Othon, Wurstemberger reproduces an inaccurate version of the same charter. Williams records 14 as the age of majority in the diocese of Lausanne at that time[1753], indicating Pierre’s birth [1249] (or after)[1754]. Williams records a charter dated Jul 1275 which names the then living Grandson brothers but omits Pierre, and suggests that he may have been the unnamed son buried with his mother at Grandson priory (see above)[1755].

7. GUILLAUME de Grandson ([after 1250]-27 Jun 1335). Under age in 1263: “Agnes domina de Grandisono, tutrix...liberorum nostrorum Petri et Willelmi, Girardus, Jaquetus et Henricus pro se et fratre suo Otonino, filii predicte domine” exchanged property with “Petro comiti Sabaudie” by charter dated 31 Aug 1263[1756]. As noted above under his brother Othon, Wurstemberger reproduces an inaccurate version of the same charter. He was summoned to the English parliament from 1299 whereby he is held to have become Lord Grandson [Grandison][1757].

- ENGLISH NOBILITY – GRANDSON.

8. [GUILLEMETTE de Grandson (-24 Oct 1307). The primary source which confirms her parentage has not been identified. Williams, concluding that “there can be little doubt that she was a daughter of Pierre de Grandson”, adds other biographical details[1758]. Her marriage date suggests that she was one of her parents’ youngest children. “Petrus miles filius…Rodulfi comitis de Gruyeria” donated property to the abbey of Hauterive, with the consent of “domine Ambrosie uxoris nostre et Petri filii nostri et Willermete uxoris eiusdem Petri necnon filiarum nostrarum Ioannete, Perrete et Columbe”, by charter dated Mar 1267[1759]. “Petrus comes de Grueres” sold land to the bishop of Lausanne, with the consent of “Petri et Perrete liberorum nostrorum et Willermete uxoris dicti Petri”, by charter dated 2 Aug 1277[1760]. “Petri filii domini Petri comitis de Grueriis et Willermete uxoris eiusdem Petri iunioris et liberorum suorum Rodolfi et Petri” consented to a donation to Hauterive by charter dated Dec 1279[1761]. “Petrus comes de Grueria, Willeta relicta quondam Petri filii eiusdem comitis, Rodulphus et Petrus filii quondam Petri predicte et dicte Willete” declared having received jewels from Hauterive abbey which “domina Agnes, relicta quondam domini Rodulphi condomini de Greysie, soror nostra predicti comitis” had deposited with the abbey, by charter dated Apr 1285[1762]. “Petrus comes de Grueria, Rodulfus, Petrus filii quondam Petri filii dicti domini comitis et Guillermeta relicta predicti Petri bone memorie quondam iunioris comitis” relinquished their rights in property at Villarlod to Hauterive abbey by charter dated 22 May 1290[1763]. “Willelmeta uxor quondam…Petri comitis Gruerie et Petrus eiusdem filius” founded the abbey of la Chartreuse de La Part-Dieu, with the consent of “Katherine uxoris mei dicti Petri, Perrodi et Iohannis filiorum quondam bone memorie Rodulphi de Grueris filii mei dicte Willermete”, by charter dated Oct 1307[1764]. The necrology of Gruyère Saint-Théodule records the death “IX Kal Nov” of “Wuilliermeta comitissa Gruerie”[1765]. m (before Mar 1267) PIERRE de Gruyère, son of PIERRE [II] Comte de Gruyère & his wife Ambrosie --- (-3 Sep 1283).]

9. [JORDANE [de Grandson] (-10 Dec ----). Her parentage and marriages are shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[1766]. The primary source which confirms this information has not been identified, although Williams concludes that “a strong tradition exists that she belonged to the house of Grandson” (adding other biographical details)[1767]. If her parentage is correct, the date of her first marriage suggests that she was one of her parents’ youngest children. The necrology of Bonmont records the death 10 Dec of “Jordana domina de Villar” and her donation[1768]. m firstly ([1 Feb 1277/Feb 1278]) as his second wife, AIMON [III] Seigneur de la Tour, son of GIROLD [I] Seigneur de la Tour & his wife --- (-[1 Feb 1277/1 Mar 1278]). m secondly (after Mar 1278) as his second wife, HUMBERT [III] Seigneur de Thoire et Villars Seigneur d’Aubonne, son of ETIENNE [II] Seigneur de Thoire et Villars & his wife Beatrix de Faucigny ([after 1235]-14 May 1301, bur Saint-Claude).]

Various documents show relationships between the Grandson family and four other noble families in the Vaud/Fribourg area. In these cases, members of those families are named as “nephew/nepos” of Othon [I] Seigneur de Grandson, son of Pierre [I] (see above). At first sight, it would seem that the mother of each “nephew” was Othon’s sister. However, bearing in mind that the term “nepos” could indicate nephew, grandson, or even a more remote cousin relationship, the Grandson connection could in each case have been through: (1) an otherwise unrecorded daughter of Pierre [I] de Grandson by his known wife Agnès de Neuchâtel; (2) a daughter (or granddaughter, depending on the chronology) of Pierre’s possible first wife (see above); (3) a descendant of one of the other sons or daughters of Ebles [III] Seigneur de Grandson; or (4) even the mother(s) of one or more of the “nephew(s)” in question being the illegitimate daughter(s) of Othon de Grandson himself, if they had been born in the late 1250s/early 1260s (although this last case seems less likely as no document has been found which suggests that Othon had illegitimate children). For presentational purposes, these mothers are all shown below as “--- [de Grandson]”, but because of this range of possible relationships they may have belonged to other agnatic families, with the Grandson connection by descent through the female line. Williams discusses all these cases in detail[1769].

1. --- [de Grandson] ([1220/25?] or [1253/57?]-[1240/42?] or [after [1275]?]). This supposed person’s marriage and Grandson connection are indicated by an order dated 3 Jul 1290 confirming a charter of “Otto de Grandison” which granted properties in Ireland to “Peter de Estanayaco (or Estanayco) [see the Estavayer case below], his nephew”, with remainder to [this person’s presumed son] “John de Estratelinges [=Strätlingen], called ‘Russelet’ [origin of this nickname untraced], another nephew of the said Otto”[1770]. There are two possibilities for the Strätlingen husband of this “--- [de Grandson]”, which also explain the alternative estimated birth and death dates shown above for his wife. Case (1): m ([1235/40?])] [as his first wife,] Heinrich [II] von Strätlingen, son of Johann [I] von Strätlingen & his wife [--- von Rapperswil] (-12 Apr, after 4 Dec 1263). Bæchtold records Heinrich [II]’s parentage, with other biographical details[1771]. The Manuel généalogique pour servir à l’histoire de la Suisse records “Johannes III” von Strätlingen, named in charters dated 17/20 Sep 1260, 1 Mar 1263, and 4 Dec 1263 with his father Heinrich [II] and his two younger brothers Rudolf [II] and Heinrich [III], and suggests that Johann [III] “soll nach England gezogen sein (?)”[1772]. Mülinen, noting the 3 Jul 1290 reference, suggests that Othon de Grandson’s sister may have been the mother of “John”, and that she was maybe his father’s first wife (“die Bezeichnung als Neffe könnte vermuten lassen, dass Ottos Schwester die Frau Henrichs II von Strätlingen, vielleicht seine erste Frau war”), while not hesitating to identity “John” in England with Johann [III] (“unbedenklich können wir den Johann de Estratelinges, der in England lebte und dort starb, mit Johann III., Heinrichs II. Sohn identifizieren”)[1773]. The dates of the three documents cited in the Manuel , read together with later documents which name the two younger brothers, suggest that all three brothers were young adults in the early 1260s, born presumably in the early- to mid-1240s. The Manuel also records that Johann [III]’s brother Heinrich [III] named “avunculus meus Rudolfus dicts Chiener domicellus” in a charter dated 4 Feb 1289[1774], suggesting that Heinrich’s mother was Rudolf Chiener’s sister (assuming that avunculus was used in its strict sense of maternal uncle). Johann [III] and Heinrich [III] could therefore have been half-brothers (in line with Mülinen’s suggestion that their father married twice). If Mülinen is correct, Heinrich [II]’s Grandson wife would have been born in [1220/25], married [1235/40?], and died [1240/42?], consistent with other aspects of the Strätlingen family chronology. If she was Othon de Grandson’s sister, she must therefore have been born either from a first marriage of his father (the possibility of this first marriage is discussed above) or she was illegitimate (which seems unlikely if she married into the Strätlingen noble family). An alternative is that she was Othon de Grandson’s cousin. In this scenario, “John” would have been about 60 years old (born around the same time as Othon de Grandson) when first mentioned in England, after a gap of nearly 30 years since his last mention in Switzerland. Although consistent with the death before 1303 of “John” (see below), this age seems surprising as Othon’s other “nephews” were young men when he promoted their careers in England. This leads us to the second case which would resolve this chronological anomaly. Case (2): m ([1268/72?]) --- von Strätlingen, son of ---. This person would have been an otherwise unrecorded junior member of the Strätlingen family, maybe a cousin of Johann [III], the couple’s son “John” being born in [1270/75] which is consistent with his being a young man when recorded in England. If that is correct, the mother of “John” could have been born ([1253/57?]), one of the possibilities being that she could have been one of the youngest children of Pierre [I] de Grandson by his known wife Agnès de Neuchâtel. “John” von Strätlingen died before Feb 1303: an order dated 4 Feb 1303 pardoned “the executors of the will of John le Stratelinges” for a debt owed to “Henry de Podio, merchant of Luca...” and “Gerard de Wyspains, archdeacon of Richmond, and Walter de Langeton, now bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, his pledges”[1775]. English records also name “Peter von Strätlingen” (without any relationship specified with Othon de Grandson). His precise parentage has not been traced, but in case (1) he could have been the son of “John”, and in case (2) his brother: an order dated 1 Apr 1298 records “Otto de Grandison, gone to the court of Rome on the king’s arduous affairs, nominating Peter de Stratelinges, knight, in Ireland, for three years” [as his attorney], and “Peter de Stanye [Estanayer], staying beyond seas, nominating Peter de Stratelenges in Ireland for two years”[1776]. The Estavayer/Strätlingen connection in this document reflects the 3 Jul 1290 order cited above, together suggesting a close family relationship between the two “--- [de Grandson]” ladies who married into these two families. Letters dated 12 Jun 1298: “for Joan, wife of Peter de Stradlinges, going to Ireland, nominating...her attorneys for two years”[1777]. Peter is not named in the Strätlingen table in the Manuel[1778]. Mülinen records some more information concerning “Peter (de Straddeleye, Stratelinges, Stradlinge, Stradelinges, Stradlinges)” in England in the 1290s, but does not give his parentage[1779].

2. --- [de Grandson] ([1230/40?]-). This supposed person’s marriage and Grandson connection are indicated by an order dated 3 Jul 1290 confirming a charter of “Otto de Grandison” which granted properties in Ireland to “Peter de Estanayaco (or Estanayco) [her supposed son Pierre [II] d’Estavayer], his nephew”, with remainder to “John de Estratelinges [=Strätlingen, see above], called ‘Russelet’, another nephew of the said Otto”[1780]. This is the same document cited above under the supposed Grandson daughter who married into the Strätlingen family, and suggests a close family relationship between the mothers of these two beneficiaries of Othon de Grandson’s protection. This suggestion is reinforced by the 1 Apr 1298 order cited above which also names Estavayer and Strätlingen in the same document. Pierre [II]’s brother Guillaume is also named as Othon’s “nephew” in an order dated 1 Dec 1289, and Othon as Guillaume’s “uncle” in an 8 Sep 1308 document (follow their father’s hyperlink for details). Her marriage date (indicated by the likely birth date of Pierre [II]) suggests that, if she was the daughter of Pierre [I] de Grandson, she would have been one of his older children, maybe even born from his possible first marriage. Follow her supposed husband’s hyperlink for discussion about his identity, which is also a complex question. m ([1248/54?]) --- d’Estavayer, son of ---.

3. --- [de Grandson] ([1245/50?]-). This supposed person’s marriage and Grandson connection are indicated by the dispensation of Pope Clement V dated 19 Oct 1305 which names “Othonis de Grandisono...cum nepote eius...Petro de Orons thesaurario eccl. Lausunen.”, as well as the 3 Jul 1290 charter which names her second son Gérard as “nephew” of Othon[1781]. Europäische Stammtafeln names her “Jaquette de Grandson” (no parents named)[1782], which Williams suggests is “probably a confusion with her niece Jacquette de Grandson-Belmont”[1783]. Her marriage is estimated to [1265?] based on the likely birth date of her second son, which in turn suggests her birth date in [1245/50?]. If that estimate is correct, this person could have been the daughter of Pierre [I] de Grandson by his known wife Agnès de Neufchâtel. Alternatively she could have been a granddaughter of Pierre [I] by his supposed first marriage or the descendant of another child of Ebles [III] Seigneur de Grandson. m ([1265?]) PIERRE d’Oron co-Seigneur de Vevey, son of --- (-1301).

4. --- [de Grandson] ([1255/58?]-). This supposed person’s marriage and Grandson connection are indicated by an indult of Pope Clement V dated 8 Sep 1308 names “Ottonis domini de Grandisono...nepoti eius Guillelmo...de Bonovilerio [her supposed son] canonico et preposito ecclesie Lausanen.”[1784]. Her marriage is estimated to [1270/73?], consistent with the chronology of the Bonvillars family, which suggests that this person would have been Othon [I]’s first wife who was named “Poncette” in his [before 23] Nov 1299 testament (follow his hyperlink for details). If that estimated marriage date is correct, this person could have been the daughter of Pierre [I] de Grandson by his known wife Agnès de Neufchâtel. Alternatively she could have been a granddaughter of Pierre [I] by his supposed first marriage or the descendant of another child of Ebles [III] Seigneur de Grandson. m ([1270/73?]) as his first wife, OTHON [I] Seigneur de Bonvillars, son of GUILLAUME de Bonvillars & his wife --- ([before 1250?]-[late Nov 1299/15 May 1312]).

The precise family relationships between the following persons and the main Grandson family have not been ascertained.

1. MARGUERITE de Grandson ([1230/40?]-after 23 Oct 1270). A charter dated 23 Oct 1270 records donations made by “Burchardus sacerdos incuratus ecclesie de Altdorf...” to Zürich abbey, witnessed by “--- de Granzen, nostre sanctemoniales” (named last in a list of six nuns)[1785]. Wyss records that another manuscript copy inserts the name “Margaretha” in the blank space[1786]. Charrière indicates that Marguerite was another daughter of Pierre [I] Seigneur de Grandson and his wife Agnès de Neuchâtel[1787]. Williams says that Charrière’s indication is “plausible”[1788]. However, the 23 Oct 1270 charter (her only mention) gives no indication of her age, apart from her being the most junior of the six nuns who are named. The document names five other nuns (in order) “Berchta de Tessen, Berchta de Tiufen, Hedewigis de Wnnenberg, Berchta de Chemthon, [Anna] de Trachsilwalt”. Wyss names ten nuns present in the abbey in 1269, among whom the four named first in the charter (he says that they had between 37 and 25 years’ seniority) and another four (not named in the document) who had joined since 1265[1789]. He does not mention “[Anna] de Trachsilwalt, [Margaretha] de Granzen” in this context, but their inclusion in the document suggests that they were in the middle range of seniority. If that is correct, it seems likely that Marguerite was born [1230/40] which seems early for her to have been the daughter of Agnès de Neuchâtel.

2. GERARD de Grandson ([1267/68?]-after Nov 1283). His date of birth is estimated from his 1283 appointment noted below, assuming that a prebend would not normally be granted to someone much less than 15 years old. Williams suggests that Gerard was the son of Guillaume de Grandson (the future Lord Grandson, see above) by his first marriage[1790], although this suggestion appears incompatible with the dating of that marriage to [1275?]. It is suggested therefore that “nephew” in the following document was used in an extended sense and that Gerard was descended from one of the brothers of Pierre [I] de Grandson. Another possibility is presumably that “nephew” was used euphemistically and that Gérard was an illegitimate son of Othon. An order dated 8 Mar 1282 (O.S.) records the archbishop of York granting “to Gerard de Grandison, nephew of Sir Otho de Grandison, counsellor of our lord the king...for his services to the see of York...an annual pension of 50 marks...until the archb. should be able to provide him to a prebend at York”[1791]. An order dated 9 Nov 1283 appointed “Sir Gerard de Grandisono” (“dominus Gerardus de Grandisono”) to “the prebend of Happlestorpe” [Apesthorpe, Yorkshire][1792]. same person as...? GERARD de Grandson (-after 10 Mar 1297). An order dated 10 Mar 1297 instructed the “keeper of the forest of Wauberge [Flanders?]...to cause Peter de Chaumpvent and Agnes his wife to have in that forest twelve oaks...”, by the king “on the information of Gerard de Grandissono”[1793].

3. JEAN de Grandson (-after 10 Feb 1303). Williams suggests that Jean may have been the son of Guillaume de Grandson (the future Lord Grandson, see above) by his first marriage[1794], although if he is correct Guillaume would have had two sons named John, one from each marriage. Another possibility is presumably that Jean was the son of Jacques de Grandson. Letters dated 10 Feb 1303 record “Otto de Chaumpvent, going with [Otto de Grandisono...beyond the seas...] nominating John de Grandisono and John de Cusancia, clerks, his attorneys for two years”[1795].

4. GAUTHIER de Grandson . An order dated 23 Oct 1327: “Walter de Grandisono, staying in England...nominating...his attorneys in Ireland for two years”[1796].

5. PIERRE de Grandson . An order dated 1 Oct 1337: “Peter de Grandissono, clerk, staying in England...nominating...his attorneys in Ireland for two years”[1797].

6. --- [bâtard?] de Grandson . A roll of arms, dated to [1337/50], includes “...Monsire de Granson, d’asure, a une bend d’argent, trois scallops gules en la bend...”[1798]. Galbreath suggests that “ce doit être un bâtard...de la branche anglaise qui aurait délaissé sa brisure à l’extinction de la maison légitime, ce qui se faisait assez fréquemment”[1799], although none of the other family arms described in his article bear the same colours which complicates the definite allocation of this person to one branch or another. According to Clemensen, the English branch (descended from Guillaume de Grandson, later Lord Grandson) adopted either eagles or buckles on the bend, while the branch in Vaud used escallops or lions[1800]. If he is right, it is likely that this unnamed person was descended from the Vaud branch of the family, presumably descended from Jacques de Grandson.

7. --- [bâtard?] de Grandson . A roll of arms, dated to [1337/50], includes “...Monsire de Granson, pale, d’argent et d’asure, de vi peeces, a chastelez d’or en une bend gules”[1801]. Galbreath suggests that, in this case, “chastelez” [=châteaux] may represent a misrepresentation of “scallops” [=coquilles, see the previous entry above][1802]. None of the other family arms which he describes in his article include castles, while on another page Galbreath reproduces the arms used by Othon [I] Seigneur de Grandson (son of Pierre [I]) in 1303 which are the same (with the same colours) but with scallops: “palé (d’argent et d’azur) à la bande (de gueules) chargée de trois coquilles (d’or)”[1803]. Presumably this similarity is behind the suggestion, reported by Williams, that this unnamed person may have been Othon’s illegitimate son, although Williams highlights that “Othon is not known to have fathered any children and made no provision for any during his life or in his will”[1804].

8. JACQUES bâtard de Grandson (-after 15 Aug 1362). The following documents suggest that Jacques was the illegitimate son of Othon [II] de Grandson (see below). A list of combattants in the company of the duke of Burgundy in 1338 includes “En la route de Monsgr. de Pesmes [Othon [II] de Grandson] à bannière...Escuiers...Jacot le bastard de Grandson...Guillaume de Grançon...”[1805]. A list of combattants “qui suivirent aux guerres de 1339 la bannière d’Otho de Grandson” includes “…Escuiers…Villaume de Grançon, Le Bastard de Grançon...”[1806]. “Othe seigneur de Grandson” promised “Jean de Chalon…de renvoyer le batard de Grandson, en prison à Chalamont”, dated 1341[1807]. A charter dated 15 Aug 1362 records an agreement between Lausanne chapter and “Jacques bâtard de Grandson chevalier, Girard mayor d’Essertines et Mermete femme de Girard” following an arbitration, and a charter dated 22 Feb 1362 (O.S.) acknowledges receipt of payments under the agreement[1808].

PIERRE [II] de Grandson, son of JACQUES de Grandson Seigneur de Belmont & his wife --- (-2 Jul [1343]). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified, although it is indicated by his marriage contract quoted below. Seigneur de Belmont: the Dictionnaire Historique de Vaud records that Jacques’s son Pierre was “seigneur de Belmont dès l’année 1300”[1809]. The primary source which confirms this date has not been identified. A mutual aid pact agreed between local nobility included “...Pierre de Grandson sire de Belmont et Jean son fils...”, by charter dated Feb 1293 (O.S.)[1810]. This puzzling document is discussed below under Pierre’s possible son Jean. Letters dated 2 Dec 1304 record that “dominus Otto, dominus de Grandissono et dominus Petrus, dominus Bellimontis” confirmed receiving “castra sua de Cudrifino, de Grandicuria, et de Bella Rippa” in fief from “domino Ludovico de Sabaudia, domino Vuaudi”[1811]. [It is uncertain whether the following refers to Pierre [II]: an order dated 14 Jun 1327: “Commission of the peace...to Peter de Grandisono...for the county of Hereford”[1812].] “Pierre de Grandson chevalier seigneur de Belmont” notified his sale of property to la Grande Chartreuse, with the consent of “Blanche de Savoie son épouse et de Othenin son fils”, and made donations with the consent of “Othon de Grandson oncle”, by charter dated 8 Oct 1317[1813]. He succeeded his uncle Othon in 1328 as Seigneur de Grandson. A charter dated 5 Feb 1336 records the settlement of disputes between “Rodulphum comitem et dominum Novi Castri...dominum Ludovicum eius filium, Girardum de Arber dominum de Vaulengins” and “Petrum dominum Grandissoni...dominum Otthonem eius filium”[1814]. The necrology of Lausanne records the death 2 Jul of “Petrus dns Grandissoni”[1815]. Beauséjour notes that Pierre died in 1343[1816]. He cites no source which confirms this date, but records the appointment of “Othe sire de Grandson” as one of the administrators in “le pays roman” after Aug 1343 (cited below).

[m firstly ---. The possibility of this earlier unrecorded marriage is suggested by the reference to Pierre’s supposed son Jean, shown below. The chronology dictates that such a son must have been born from an earlier marriage, but as noted below there is some doubt whether the document in which he is named can be accurate. Given the likely marriage date of Pierre’s parents, and the date of his own marriage to Blanche de Savoie-Vaud, an earlier marriage is a likely possibility.]

m [secondly] (contract 27 Apr 1303) BLANCHE de Savoie-Vaud, daughter of LOUIS [I] de Savoie Baron de Vaud & his second wife Jeanne de Montfort[-l’Amaury] (-after Apr 1323). The testament of “Gioanna di Monfort Contessa di Forest Moglie di Ludovico de Savoia Signore di Vaud” dated Nov 1293 makes bequests to “…Margarita, Gioannetta, Beatrice, Eleonora, Cattarina e Bianca pur sue figlie…”[1817]. The testamentary codicil of “Lodovico di Savoia Signore di Vaud” dated 10 Jan 1301 makes bequests “a Bianca, e Cattarina sue figlie…”[1818]. “Amedus comes Sabaudie et Ludovicus de Sabaudia dominus Vaudi et...Otho dominus de Grandissono miles” confirmed the marriage of “Petrum de Grandissono militem nepotem nostri Othoni predicti” and “Blancam filiam inclite recordationis domini Ludovici de Sabaudia condam domini Vaudri fratris nostri comitis supradicti et patris dicti Ludovici” by charter dated 27 Apr 1303[1819]. The contract of marriage between “Pietro di Grançon Nipote d’Ottone Signore di Grançon” and “Bianca figlia del fu Lodovico di Savoia Signore di Vaud” is dated 27 Apr 1303[1820]. “Pierre de Grandson chevalier seigneur de Belmont” notified his sale of property to la Grande Chartreuse, with the consent of “Blanche de Savoie son épouse et de Othenin son fils”, by charter dated 8 Oct 1317[1821].

Pierre [II] & his [first wife had one child]:

1. [JEAN de Grandson (-after Feb 1294). A mutual aid pact was agreed between local nobility, including “...Pierre de Grandson sire de Belmont et Jean son fils...”, by charter dated Feb 1293 (O.S.)[1822]. As noted above, this document is puzzling. Even if we assume an earlier marriage of Pierre, his son must still have been a child at the time. The complete list of signatories, as reported by Estavayer, include two other father/son combinations but both appear to be older fathers who had shared power with adult sons. There seems no reason for an infant son to have participated in his own name with his father in this type of alliance. One possibility is that “Pierre” is an error for “Jacques”. If that is correct, Jean would have been Jean’s otherwise unrecorded oldest son. Unfortunately, the original document cannot be checked as it has not been found in the Archives départementales du Doubs[1823].]

Pierre [II] & his [second] wife had seven children:

2. OTHON [II] de Grandson (-[1375]). “Pierre de Grandson chevalier seigneur de Belmont” notified his sale of property to la Grande Chartreuse, with the consent of “Blanche de Savoie son épouse et de Othenin son fils”, by charter dated 8 Oct 1317[1824]. A charter dated 5 Feb 1336 records the settlement of disputes between “Rodulphum comitem et dominum Novi Castri...dominum Ludovicum eius filium, Girardum de Arber dominum de Vaulengins” and “Petrum dominum Grandissoni...dominum Otthonem eius filium”[1825]. The 29 Mar 1340 testament of Louis [II] de Savoie Comte de Vaud names his nephew Otto de Grandson, Guillaume his brother and his sisters[1826]. Seigneur de Grandson. After the death of Aimon Count of Savoy in Aug 1343, the guardians of his son appointed “Louis comte de Neuchâtel, Gérard de Montfaucon seigneur d’Orbe et d’Echallens, Othe sire de Grandson, et Hugues de Joinville seigneur de Gex chevaliers” as administrators of “[le] pays roman”[1827]. “Othes sires de Gransson” issued a charter dated 28 Jun 1347[1828]. He was named executor in his first wife’s 7 Sep 1349 testament. The testament of “Loys, cons et sires de Nuefchastel en la dyocese de Losene”, dated 14 Apr 1354, appointed “mon frere monsegniour Othe segniour de Gransson” as guardian of his infant children[1829]. “...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[1830]. The testament of Othon de Grandson is dated 1375[1831]. Othon presumably died before the [1375] charter quoted below in which his sons partitioned their territories. m firstly (contract 1323) JEANNE de Pesmes, daughter of GUILLAUME [V] Seigneur de Pesmes & his wife Gille de Courcelles (-after 7 Sep 1349, bur Pesmes). The history of the family of the seigneurs de Pesmes was studied in the late 19th century by Perchet[1832]. Perchet states that “la promesse de mariage” between Othon de Grandson and Jeanne de Pesmes was dated 1323[1833]. 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[1834]. 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...”[1835]. m secondly BLANCHE de Châtillon Dame de Poix, daughter of --- (-after 9 Jul 1371). The primary source which confirms her parentage has not been identified. Othon Seigneur de Grandson ratified the duke of Burgundy’s consent to “madame Blanche de Châtillon dame de Grandson” granting property to a member of her household on her marriage, by charter dated 9 Jul 1371[1836]. Othon de Grandson submitted to the duke of Burgundy the properties he held “au nom de sa femme Blanche de Châtillon : la forteresse de Puits...les fiefs d’Isabeau de Recey fille de Jean de Recey chevalier et d’Etienne de Chanteloup sire de Velle-forgeul, à cause de Marie de Nesle sa femme” by charter dated 1372[1837]. Othon [II] & his first wife had [two] children:

a) JACQUES de Grandson (-[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”[1838]. He succeeded his mother as Seigneur de Pesmes.

- SEIGNEURS de PESMES.

b) [GUILLAUME de Grandson (-after 1339). The association of Guillaume’s name with Othon [II] in the following lists suggests that he may have been his son. A list of combattants in the company of the duke of Burgundy in 1338 includes “En la route de Monsgr. de Pesmes [Othon [II] de Grandson] à bannière...Escuiers...Jacot le bastard de Grandson...Guillaume de Grançon...”[1839]. A list of combattants “qui suivirent aux guerres de 1339 la bannière d’Otho de Grandson” includes “…Escuiers…Villaume de Grançon, Le Bastard de Grançon...”[1840].]

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

c) HUGUES de Grandson (-1397). 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 Hugues received “la terre et seignorie de Belmont et tout ce que lesdits frères pouvoient avoir ou pays de Vaulx”[1841]. Seigneur de Grandson et de Lompnes en Bugey. He was condemned to death in 1389 and his properties confiscated, but escaped from prison and fled to England where his cousin Othon de Grandson was accused of involvement in his death in 1397[1842].

3. GUILLAUME de Grandson (-[1386]). The 29 Mar 1340 testament of Louis [II] de Savoie Comte de Vaud names his nephew Otto de Grandson, Guillaume his brother and his sisters[1843]. “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[1844]. Seigneur de Sainte-Croix [Vaud], de Cudrefin, de Grandcour et Aubonne [Vaud][1845]. Amédée VI Comte de Savoie granted the seigneurie d’Aubonne to Guillaume de Grandson Seigneur de Sainte-Croix in 1365[1846]. Rodolphe [IV] Comte de Gruyére sold his rights to the seigneurie d’Aubonne to Guillaume de Grandson Seigneur de Sainte-Croix in 1370 for 2000 florins[1847]. Guillaume de Grandson Seigneur de Sainte-Croix et d’Aubonne donated property to Lance convent, for the souls of “lui, de son père, de sa mère, de sa sœur dame de la Tour, de son...oncle de bonne mémoire Othon seigneur de Grandson et de dame Jehanne de Vienne son épouse décédée” by charter dated 23 Jan 1372[1848]. In letters dated 22 Apr 1377, “domina Margarita de Grandissono de Paleysuel” substituted “dominum Guillelmum de Grandissono, dominum Sancte Crucis et Aubone” for “Francisco, filio suo” under certain conditions, with the consent of “Rodulfus comes Gruerie”[1849]. m JEANNE de Vienne, daughter of JEAN de Vienne & his wife [Catherine de Jonvelle] (-before 23 Jan 1372).

Père Anselme names her “dame de Vaugrenan” and her husband “Guillaume de Grançon surnommé le Grand”[1851]. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified. Guillaume de Grandson Seigneur de Sainte-Croix et d’Aubonne donated property to Lance convent, for the souls of “...de dame Jehanne de Vienne son épouse décédée” by charter dated 23 Jan 1372[1852]. Guillaume & his wife had three children:

a) OTHON de Grandson (-Bourg 7 Aug 1397). Seigneur de Sainte-Croix. Accused of involvement in the death of Amédée VII Comte de Savoie in 1391, his properties were confiscated[1853].

He was killed by Gérard d’Estavayer in a trial by combat[1855]. m (after 24 Apr 1365) JEANNE Alamandi, daughter of HUMBERT Alamandi Seigneur d’Aubonne & his wife Agnes de Joinville-Gex (-after 2 Oct 1404). Her parentage and marriage are indicated by letters dated 24 Apr 1365 which record the division of “villarum, castrorum...Aubone et Copeti” in three parts between “una Johannete filie dicti domini Hugonis [error for Humberti], sponse tunc future domini Ottonis de Grandissoni...aliqua tercia pars Helenode, uxori Francisci de Pontevitreo...et reliqua tercia pars Rodulpho de Grueria, nato ex domina Margarita, sororem dictarum Johanete et Helenode”[1856].

She married secondly (before 14 Mar 1388) Jacques de Vergy. She married thirdly (1398) Gaucher Seigneur de Savoisy. She married fourthly (before 13 Aug 1401) Ferry de Chardoigne.

c) THOMAS de Grandson . Perchet records that “Thomas chevalier...se fixa en Angleterre” but does not cite the source which confirms this information[1859].

4. ISABELLE de Grandson (-5 Jul ----, after 3 Jan 1367). Pope John XXII granted dispensation for the marriage of “Ludovicum de Cassonay” and “Isabellam filiam n. v. Petri de Grandissono” despite their 4^o consanguinity, [at the request of] “Ottonis ipsius Isabellæ patrui”, dated 28 Mar 1317[1860]. “Pierre de Grandson seigneur de Belmont” acknowledged his debt to “Louis seigneur de Cossonay” relating to the dowry of “Isabelle sa femme, fille dudit seigneur de Belmont” by charter dated Dec 1320[1861]. “Aymon coseigneur de Cossonay chanoine de Lausanne et dame Isabelle veuve de Louis seigneur de Cossonay son frère” agreed that the former had “la tutelle des enfants dudit Louis” in return for “le château, lieu et châtellenie de Berchier” as dower for the latter, by charter dated Jul 1333[1862]. The necrology of La Chartreuse de la Lance records the anniversary 5 Jul of “dne Ysabelle de Grandissono dne de Cossonay“ and her donation[1863]. Her testament was dated 3 Jan 1366 (O.S.)[1864].

Three brothers. The patronymic “Humberti” accorded to the brothers Jean and Jacques in the 6 Apr 1365 testament of the former suggests that their father was named Humbert. No Humbert de Grandson has been identified. Perchet records Jean Humbert as the son of Othon Seigneur de Grandson and his first wife Jeanne de Pesmes, without citing any corroborating source[1881]. Jean Humbert witnessed the 7 Sep 1349 testament of Jeanne de Pesmes, but the document does not specify any family relationship. The precise relationship between Jacques Humbert and “Guillelmum de Aula domicellum consanguineum meum...” (see the 6 Apr 1365 testament quoted below) has not been ascertained. The testament also refers to an unknown number of the testator’s nephews and nieces, without naming their parents.

1. JEAN Humbert de Grandson (-[6 Apr 1365/28 Jul 1375]). Canon at Besançon and Lausanne. The testament of “Johanna domina de Grandisono”, dated 7 Sep 1349, was witnessed by “Johanne Humberto de Grandisono canonico Bisuntino et Lausanensi...Johanne dicto Le Bastard filio Theobaldo de Grandisono...”[1882]. Othon Seigneur de Grandson granted a proxy to “Jean Humbert de Grandson son chapelain, chanoine de Besançon et de Lausanne” by charter dated 16 Aug 1363[1883].

2. JACQUES Humbert de Grandson . The testament of “Johannes Humberti de Grandissono canonicus Bisuntinus et Lausanensis”, dated 6 Apr 1365 (published 28 Jul 1375), appointed “Jacobum...fratrem meum” as his heir, substituting successively “Richardum filium suum...Guillelmum de Aula domicellum consanguineum meum...”, appointed as executors “...Jacobum Humberti fratrem meum et Guillelmum de Aula domicellum”[1885].

She is named in the 7 Feb 1366 (O.S.) document quoted above, the wording of which suggests that she was the wife of Jacques Humbert. Jacques Humbert & his wife had one child:

a) RICHARD de Grandson . The testament of “Johannes Humberti de Grandissono canonicus Bisuntinus et Lausanensis”, dated 6 Apr 1365 (published 28 Jul 1375), appointed “Jacobum...fratrem meum” as his heir, substituting successively “Richardum filium suum...Guillelmum de Aula domicellum consanguineum meum...”[1887].

H. COMTES de GRANGES

The village of Granges was located on the left bank of the river Rhône, upstream of Sion, and was the site of three castles[1889]. Comtes de Granges are recorded in the 11th and 12th centuries. However, the information relating to these individuals is insufficient to reconstruct their family with any confidence. Grémaud suggests that Ulric Comte de Granges, whose donation to Sion is recorded in the 11th century as shown below, was the same person as Ulrich [II] Graf von Lenzburg (see the document SWABIAN NOBILITY), who is recorded with connections in Valais. However, it is uncertain whether this co-identity can be correct as the deaths of the two persons are recorded on different dates in the necrology of Sion and the necrology of Granges. After the 12th century, the lords of Granges are no longer recorded with the comital title. It should be noted that a younger branch of the family of the sires de la Tour is recorded in the mid-13th century as co-seigneurs de Granges. It is not known whether they acquired their share in the lordship by inheritance or purchase.

1. ULRIC (-16 Nov ----). Comte de Granges. An undated charter which records the property of the church of Sion, dated to the 11th century, records the donation “ante oppidum Conteiz” by “comitissa Grangensis…et…filius eius Uldricus comes”[1890]. “Girardus Alingiensis, Rodulphus de Fulciniaco, Uldricus comes, Anselmus, Willelmus, Amedeus filius eiusdem Girardi” witnessed the charter dated to [1094] under which “Humbertus comes et marchio” donated property to the abbey of Aulps [”in pago Gebennensi in valle…Alpis”][1891]. The necrology of Granges records the death “XVI Kal Dec” of “Uldricus comes”[1892].

2. --- . Comte [de Granges]. m TIETZA, daughter of --- (-6 Sep ----). The necrology of Sion records the death “V Non Sep” of “Tieze comitisse” (the editor suggests 1052 as the year, but does not explain the basis for his statement)[1893].

3. GIROLD (-9 Jun ----). Comte [de Granges]. The necrology of Sion records the death “V Id Jun” of “Giroldi comitis” and the donation for his soul by “Willermeta uxor eius”[1894]. m GUILLELME, daughter of ---. The necrology of Sion records the death “V Id Jun” of “Giroldi comitis” and the donation for his soul by “Willermeta uxor eius”[1895].

4. ARENBOR . [Comte] de Granges. m ---. The name of Arenbor’s wife is not known. Arenbor & his wife had two children:

a) ULRIC . A charter dated to the end-12th century, which lists the revenues of the chapter of Sion, includes the donation by “Vldricus et Petrus filii Arenbor. Comes de Granges” at Heis[1896].

b) PIERRE . A charter dated to the end-12th century, which lists the revenues of the chapter of Sion, includes the donation by “Vldricus et Petrus filii Arenbor. Comes de Granges” at Heis[1897].

5. OTHON (-after 1181). Comte de Granges. “Petrus de Martiniaco et Turumbertus de Nouila et Otto comes de Grangis et Ludouicus de Druna et Ermeradus ac Johannes Ulboldus” witnessed the charter dated to [1162/73] under which the bishop of Sion confirmed the donation of the church of Louèche to the bishopric of Sion[1898]. “Willelmus de Turre, Humbertus, Oto comes, Tunubertus de Nouila, Johannes Uboz, Eimerradus, Lodoicus, Foco” witnessed the charter dated 1181 which records an agreement between the bishop of Sion and the canons of Sion relating to “hominibus de Louina” {Lowinen}[1899]. The placing of Othon’s name in the middle of the subscription lists of both charters suggests that he was not the dominant nobleman in Valais at the time.

1. --- . The common use of the name “Granges”, and the absence of any further reference to Othon Comte de Granges after 1181, suggests that he may have been the husband of Agnes and the father of her two sons. If this hypothesis is correct, the suggested low level of his position in the local nobility is confirmed by the fact that his comital title did not survive him. m AGNES, daughter of --- (-[before 1189]). Her marriage is confirmed by the charter dated to [1182/89] under which her sons “Lodoicus de Granges et Willermus frater eius” donated revenue from “allodio suo apud Ayent in villa Alba et in villa…Bluvignosch” {Arbaz and Blouvignoux} to the abbey of Saint-Maurice d’Agaune, for the soul of “matre sua Agnes”[1900]. A charter dated 1189 records that “Agnes de Granges” donated revenue to the abbey of Saint-Maurice d’Agaune, with the consent of “filiorum suorum Lodoici et Willermi”, and that later “prefatus Lodoicus” confirmed the donation after the death of “suo fratre Willermo”[1901]. Two children:

a) LOUIS de Granges (-31 Mar ----). “…Lodoicus de Granges…” witnessed the charter of Humbert III Count of Savoy dated 1179[1902]. “Lodoicus de Granges et Willermus frater eius” donated revenue from “allodio suo apud Ayent in villa Alba et in villa…Bluvignosch” {Arbaz and Blouvignoux} to the abbey of Saint-Maurice d’Agaune, for the soul of “matre sua Agnes”, by charter dated to [1182/89][1903]. A charter dated 1189 records that “Agnes de Granges” donated revenue to the abbey of Saint-Maurice d’Agaune, with the consent of “filiorum suorum Lodoici et Willermi”, and that later “prefatus Lodoicus” confirmed the donation after the death of “suo fratre Willermo”[1904]. The necrology of Granges records the death “II Kal Apr” of “domini Ludoici”[1905].

b) GUILLAUME de Granges (-[1189]). “Lodoicus de Granges et Willermus frater eius” donated revenue from “allodio suo apud Ayent in villa Alba et in villa…Bluvignosch” {Arbaz and Blouvignoux} to the abbey of Saint-Maurice d’Agaune, for the soul of “matre sua Agnes”, by charter dated to [1182/89][1906]. His death is confirmed by the charter dated 1189 which records that “Agnes de Granges” donated revenue to the abbey of Saint-Maurice d’Agaune, with the consent of “filiorum suorum Lodoici et Willermi”, and that later “prefatus Lodoicus” confirmed the donation after the death of “suo fratre Willermo”[1907].

Bishop of Sion 1237. “Dnus Boso…ecclesie Sedunensis electus” donated property to Sion, with the consent of “Berthe sororis sue”, by charter dated 10 Dec 1237[1909]. The necrology of Sion records the death “VI Non Jul” in 1243 of “Boso bone memorie Sedun. episcopus” and his donation of “ecclesia de Morgi”[1910]. The approximate year of his death is confirmed by the charter dated 22 Jul 1243 which records an agreement relating to the inheritance of “dni Bosonis bone memorie Sedun. episcopi” between “dnam Bertam de Ayent et Ludouicum et Petrum filios suos et Vuilliermetam filiam suam” and “dnum Vulliermum vicedominum de Aniuesio et Agnetem uxorem suam et heredes suos”[1911].

2. G--- de Granges (-[1228/22 Jul 1243]). “Boso de Granges, decanus Sedun.” donated property to the chapter of Sion by charter dated 1228, which names “G. fratri meo”[1912].

I. SEIGNEURS de MONT

The repetition of the names Robert and Amalric suggest that the following three small family sub-groups, all of whom are named in the first half of the 11th century in Vaud, were closely related.

1. ROBERT, son of AMALRIC [I] Comte [des Equestres] & his wife ---] (-after [20 Oct 1002/19 Oct 1003]).

Gingins-La-Sarraz suggests that Robert, son of Comte Amalric [I], was ancestor of the Seigneurs de Mont[1916]. The existence of Amalric [II] and Amalric [III], named below, suggests that the suggestion may be correct.

J. COMTES [SEIGNEURS?] de MORGES

Morges is located on the northern shore of Lake Geneva about 5 kilometres west of Lausanne in the present-day Swiss canton of Vaud. The 1224 charter quoted below records that it was a fief of the bishop of Sion who then transferred it to Thomas Comte de Savoie. The document is witnessed by two “comtes de Morges”. This represents the only reference so far found to Morges as a county. No connection has been found between this family and the holders of the castle of Morges, which was located about 30 kilometres north of Gap and 40 kilometres south of Grenoble in the present-day French département of Isère, arrondissement Grenoble, canton Matheysins-Trièves (see the document BURGUNDY KINGDOM-VIENNOIS).

This wording suggests that Agnes was the seller’s paternal grandmother, but if that is the case why did the document not specify this relationship? There must therefore be some debt whether Agnes was the mother of Conrad de Morges.] Two children:

a) CONRAD de Morges (-after 25 Feb [1258]). Comte de Morges. “...Conradus et Wilielmus comites de Morgia...” witnessed the charter dated 1224 which records a peace treaty between Landry Bishop of Sion and Thomas Comte de Savoie, which provides in particular for the latter to grant “feudum de Morgia” to the former[1999]. Conrad consented to his son’s 25 Feb 1257 (O.S.?) charter quoted below. m AGNES, daughter of --- (-after 25 Feb [1258]). She consented to her son’s 25 Feb 1257 (O.S.?) charter quoted below. Conrad & his wife had two children:

i) GUILLAUME de Morges (-after 25 Feb [1258]). “Wilelmus filius Conradi de Morgia, domicelli” sold “in valle de Simplum...dominii” to “domino Jocelino vicedomino Sedunensi”, with the consent of “Conradi patris mei et Agnetis matris meæ et Helietæ sororis meæ et Agnetis matris quondam Jacobi domicelli de Morgia patrui mei et Beatricis relictæ predicti Jacobi”, by charter dated 25 Feb 1257 (O.S.?)[2000].

b) JACQUES de Morges (-before 25 Feb [1258]).

2. GUILLAUME de Morges (-after 1224). Comte de Morges. “...Conradus et Wilielmus comites de Morgia...” witnessed the charter dated 1224 which records a peace treaty between Landry Bishop of Sion and Thomas Comte de Savoie, which provides in particular for the latter to grant “feudum de Morgia” to the former[2002]. The family relationship between the two witnesses is not specified. Presumably they were closely related, maybe they were brothers or cousins.

Pierre presumably died before 1233, the date of the charter quoted below in which his son is named Seigneur de la Tour. [The necrology of Sion records the death “Kal Aug” of “Petrus de Turre”, “II Kal Sep” of “Petri de Turre qui fuit de Olun”, “XVII Kal Oct” of “Petri de Turre”, “II Kal Nov” of “Petri de Turre donni de Baiz”, and “IX Kal Dec” of “Petrus de Turre”[2092]. It is not certain to which Pierre de la Tour these entries refer, although the reference to “Baiz” suggests that the penultimate entry may refers to the son of Aimon de la Tour assuming that he was born from his father’s first marriage with Clémence de Bex.]

Pierre & his wife had two children:

1. GIROLD [I] de la Tour (-[5 Sep 1260/1 Sep 1263]). Seigneur de la Tour. “Gyroldus dominus de Turre” donated the church of Lœtschen to the abbey of Abondance, for the souls of “Petri patris sui et Aymonis avi sui”, by charter dated 1233[2095].

Presumably the witness could have been either Girold [I] or Girold [II].] A charter dated 5 Sep 1260 records exchanges of property between Henri Bishop of Sion and Pierre Comte de Savoie, including property held by “domini Giroldi de Turre et Aymonis filii sui”[2097]. Girold presumably died before 1 Sep 1263, the date of his sons’ charter quoted below. m as her first husband, ---. The name of Girold’s wife is not known. She married secondly Gauthier Loup de Châtillon. Her second marriage is confirmed by a charter dated 18 Aug 1286 of “Alix salterissa de Sancto-Mauricio filia quondam Walteri Lupi de Castellione”, in the presence of “Petro filio suo clerico”, which recalls “quondam Petro Aremberti primo maritus suo” and “dnus Aymo de Castellione frater dicte Alix miles”[2098]. Girold [I] & his wife had three children:

a) GIROLD [II] “Bertholdi” de la Tour (-[1 Sep 1263/Jun 1265]). His parentage is indicated by the 1 Sep 1263 charter quoted below, in which Girold is also named “domini...de Turre” suggesting that he was the older brother. A charter dated 12 Mar 1244 records an agreement between the bishop of Sion and “dnum Aymonum de Turre et Giroldum nepotem suum”[2099]. [“...Giroldum de Turre...milites...” witnessed the 29 Sep 1258 charter under which “dominus Petrus miles filius domini Guigonis de Ponte Vitreo...” received “locum...Chieses” in fief from Agaune Saint-Maurice[2100]. Presumably the witness could have been either Girold [I] or Girold [II].] Seigneur de la Tour: a charter dated 1 Sep 1263 records a hearing “coram...Normando cantore” attended by “Aymo de Castellione...domicellus, frater domini Giroldi Bertholdi de Turre” due to “consanguinitatis uxoris suæ Isabellæ”, witnessed by “...Anselmo de Turre domicello...”[2101]. The reference in this document to “Bertholdi” has not been explained. Girold [II] presumably died before Jun 1265 when his brother Aimon is named “dominus” (see below). m as her first husband, JORDANE de Champvent, daughter of HENRI [I] de Grandson Seigneur de Champvent & his wife --- (-30 Mar [1297/1303], bur Lausanne Notre-Dame. Charrière suggests her connection with the la Tour-de-Châtillon family, noting that “le vidommat d’Ollon et la co-seigneurie de Bex appartenaient avant dame Jordane de Cossonay à la maison de la Tour-Châtillon”, but does not make the connection with Girold [II] de la Tour being her first husband[2102]. In another work, Charrière suggests that Jordane’s possession of le vidomnat d’Ollon et ¹/₃ of the seigneurie de Bex is best explained if, before she married Jacques de Cossonay, she had married “un seigneur de la maison de la Tour, le chevalier Aymon, croyons-nous”[2103]. In a later correction to this last suggestion, Charrière argues that Jordane’s husband must have been Girold [II] de la Tour after eliminating other possibilities, corroborated by a 8 Jul 1305 document of Saint-Maurice which records that the vidomnat d’Ollon was then held by “dominus Burcardus...et domina Ysabella eius uxor” [Bourcard de la Roche & Isabelle de Greysier, Jordane’s possible granddaughter (see below)] and that previously it was held by “dominum Girodum de Turre quondam militem et...postea...domina Jordana eius uxor”[2104]. Accounts dated 1266 and 1267 record payments to “hominibus domine Jordane de Turre” who fought “apud Massongie, contra illos de Sancto Mauricio”[2105]. She married secondly ([1266/67 or after]) Jacques Seigneur de Cossonay. Follow the hyperlink for details of her second marriage and subsequent career. Girold [II] & his wife had [two children]:

i) [NANTELME . A charter dated 12 May 1268 records that “Rodulphus de Rarognia domicellus vicedominus de Seduno” donated property to “Nantelme uxori sue, filie dni Gyroldi de Turre militis”[2106]. The date suggests that Nantelme may have been the daughter of Girold [II], although the chronology would be tight. m (before 12 May 1268) RODOLPHE de Rarogne, son of ---.]

ii) [BEATRIX (-[1285/97]). Charrière records that the wife of Aimon de Gressier was named “Béatrice” in a source dated 1285 and suggests that her husband’s inheritance of Ollon may indicate that she was the daughter of Jordane de Champvent by her first marriage[2107]. Another possibility is that Jordane and Beatrix shared Ollon, the former as successor to her first husband, the latter as a descendant of one of his collaterals. This possibility is also suggested by the existence of Beatrix’s supposed cousin Girard de la Tour Seigneur d’Ollon (see below). Charrière traces the succession to Ollon by this couple’s descendants[2108]. m AIMON de Greysier, son of --- (-before 1313). A charter dated 4 Apr/23 May 1297 records an arbitral judgment between Saint-Maurice and “Jordanam dominam de Cossonay et Aymonem de Greisie domicellum tutoris...Alexie, Beatricis, Ysabelle et Jaquete filiarum ipsius Ay(monis) ac Francisci filii eiusdem Ay(monis)” concerning “vicedominatum de Oluns”[2109].]

M. SEIGNEURS de VUIPPENS

Vuippens (Wippingen) is a parish in the canton of Fribourg, 5 kilometres north of Bulle. Dey, noting that the medieval seigneurie of Vuippens and Everdes included the localities of Vuippens, Echariens, Marsens and Sorens, records its early history including the abbey of Humilimont (“aussi dite de Marsens”) founded in 1136 by “trois frères Gui, chevalier, Anselme et Borcard de Marsens, qui appartenaient à la famille d’Everdens”[2160].

1. ULRIC [I] de Vuippens (-11 Mar [1266/67]/[1268/Dec 1269]). “...Vldricus de Wippens...” witnessed the charter dated 19 Jun 1226 which recorded an agreement between Lausanne Notre-Dame and “Haimonem dominum de Fucinie” regarding “atuoacacia Lau.”[2161]. “Vldricus dominus de Wippens” recorded an agreement with Lausanne Notre-Dame by undated charter[2162]. “Dominus Uolricus de Wippingen tunc temporis advocatus in Berno...” witnessed the charter dated 31 Aug 1255 under which “Burchardus miles de Egerdon...” donated property to the Knights of St John at Buchsee[2163]. “Vldricus dns de Vipens” swore allegiance to “domini mei Petri de Sabaudia” for “castrum de Wippens...” by undated charter[2164] (dated by Dey to [1250/55][2165]). “Vldricus de Wippens” ceded “domum fortem suam de Rochia in Hugo” to “domino Petro comiti Sabaudie”, while the latter enfeoffed “Petrum filium dicti Vlrici” with the same by charter dated 3 Jul 1263[2166]. Ulric confirmed his allegiance to the bishop of Lausanne, with the consent of “Agnès sa femme et de ses fils”, for various properties, mainly at Marsens, by charter dated 1266[2167]. Dey says that Ulric died “vers l’année 1270” (no source cited)[2168]. Ulric presumably died before his son’s Jan 1269 (O.S.?) allegiance cited below. m firstly ITA, daughter of --- (-1257 or before). Ulric donated “la dîme de Montorset” to Humilimont, for the soul of “Itha sa...femme”, by charter dated 1257[2169]. m secondly ([Nov 1257/[1260?]) AGNES de Grandson, daughter of [PIERRE [I] Seigneur de Grandson & his [second] wife Agnès de Neuchâtel] ([1240/45?]-9 Dec after 1313). Her family origin is confirmed by the necrology entry cited below. In addition, two of her sons are named as “nephews” of her supposed brother Othon de Grandson (see below). Her marriage date suggests her birth in the early- to mid-1240s, which in turn suggests that Agnès was the daughter of Pierre [I] de Grandson by his [second] wife. The testament of “Agnès de Grandson veuve d’Ulrich de Vuippens”, dated Jul 1298, requested burial at Humilimont (except her heart to be buried at Grandson priory “aux pieds de sa mère et de son frère”), made numerous ecclesiastical bequests, and named “...son fils Gérard seigneur de Vuippens et archidiacre de Richmond...” among her executors[2170]. Agnès donated land “sises à Sorens” to Humilimont by charter dated Mar 1302[2171]. The necrology of Humilimont records the death of “dne Agnet de Gandeson dna de Wypeyns ix die decembris” and the Beaufort-Beauchamp book of hours “V Id Dec” of “dne Agnet de Gandeson dna de Wypeyns”[2172]. Dey says that Agnès “vivait encore en 1313” (no source cited)[2173]. Ulric [I] & his first wife had two children:

a) PIERRE de Vuippens (-after 3 Jul 1263). “Vldricus de Wippens” ceded “domum fortem suam de Rochia in Hugo” to “domino Petro comiti Sabaudie”, while the latter enfeoffed “Petrum filium dicti Vlrici” with the same by charter dated 3 Jul 1263[2174]. The date of this document, when Pierre was presumably already adult, suggests that he must have been born from his father’s first marriage. Pierre presumably predeceased his father, and maybe died before the birth of his half-brother Pierre shown below.

b) GUILLAUME de Vuippens (-[1297/1300]). Cibrario records that “Guglielmo suo figliuolo [referring to Ulrico di Wippens]” swore homage to Philippe de Savoie for “Verchastel e di varie tenute” by charter dated Jan 1269 (O.S.?)[2175]. Dey records other charters dated 1271, 1275, 1276 in which Guillaume was named and says that he died “entre les années 1297 et 1300”[2176]. m firstly ALEXIE, daughter of --- (-1258). Guillaume de Vuippens “seigneur d’Echarlens ou d’Everdes”, in the presence “de son père”, donated annual revenue from harvest “sur le moulin d’Echarlens” to Humilimont, for the soul of “Alexie, sa première femme, décédée peu auparavant”, by charter dated 1258[2177]. m secondly MARGUERITE, daughter of --- (-after 1280). Guillaume “et Marguerite sa seconde femme” donated annual harvest from “la dîme d’Echarlens” to Humilimont by charter dated 1280[2178]. m thirdly ITA, daughter of ---. Dey records this third marriage (no source cited)[2179].

- SEIGNEURS de VUIPPENS, SEIGNEURS d’EVERDES[2180].

Ulric [I] & his second wife had three children:

c) GERARD de Vuippens (-17 Mar 1325). Pope Nicholas IV, by bull dated 5 Nov 1289, granted indult to “Gerard de Wippens, canon of York, at the request of his uncle Odo de Grandison” and to “William de Estravaco, canon at Wells, another nephew of the said Odo” to “hold [their] benefices for three years without being ordained priest, which term has now passed for several months, to have the time extended to five years...”[2181]. Pope Nicholas IV, by bull dated 1 Dec 1289, granted reservation, at the request of “Odo de Grandison”, to “his nephew Gerard de Wippens canon of York” of “a parsonage or dignity in the church of York...notwithstanding that Gerard holds the churches of Waddington, in the diocese of Lincoln, and Greystok, in that of Carlisle, in commendam, a canonry and prebend of York, and a canonry of Lichfield, with expectation of a prebend”[2182]. An order dated 14 May 1290 granted “protection, with clause volumus, for one year, for Gerard de Wypeings, clerk, nephew of Otto de Grandisono, dwelling at Orléans (Aurelian’) for the purposes of study”[2183].

An order dated 12 Oct 1294 granted “protection, with clause volumus, for two years, for Gerard de Wyspayns, archdeacon of Richmond, going beyond the seas on the king’s service”, with letters nominating “Henry prior of Wenlok, and John de Dytton, his attorneys for the same period”[2185]. Gérard de Vuippens acknowledged owing annual income to Humilimont, bequeathed by “son frère le chevalier Pierre de Vuippens”, by charter dated 1296[2186]. An order dated 6 Mar 1297 granted protections to numerous ecclesiasts including “...Gerard de Wyppeyns, canon of the church of St Chad Lichfield, and parson of the churches of Creystok and Wadyngton”[2187]. An order dated 13 Apr 1300 granted “protection, with clause volumus, for two years, for Gerard de Wyspeyns, archdeacon of Richmond, going to the court of Rome on the king’s affairs”, with the promise of reimbursement of his expenses ordered 14 Oct 1301, and similar order of protection made 30 Sep 1301, and 11 Oct 1301[2188]. By order dated 14 Oct 1301 “Master Gerard de Wyppayns archdeacon of Richmond, going to the court of Rome on the king’s affairs, nominating Adam de Osegodeby and Udricus de Wippains for two years” (as his attorneys)[2189]. An order dated 5 Mar 1302 notified the Pope that the king appointed “Walter bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, Amadeus Count of Savoy, Otto de Grandissono knight, and Master Gerard de Wyppeyns archdeacon of Richmond as envoys...”[2190]. An order dated 4 Feb 1303 pardoned “the executors of the will of John le Stratelinges” for a debt owed to “Henry de Podio, merchant of Luca...” and “Gerard de Wyspains, archdeacon of Richmon, and Walter de Langeton, now bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, his pledges”[2191]. Bishop of Lausanne: Gallia Christiana records “Gerardus de Wuippens” taking possession as bishop “V Kal Jan 1302”, transferring in 1310 to Basel[2192]. An order dated 15 Jan 1304 granted protection to “Gerard de Wyspayns bishop of Lausanne, staying beyond seas”[2193]. Letters dated 13 Mar 1305: “Gerard de Wippains, staying beyond seas, nominating Eudric de Wippains and Thomas de Galeway his attorneys for two years”[2194]. Letters dated 2 Jul 1306: “Gerard de Wyppeyns bishop of Lausanne, staying beyond seas, nominating Gerard de Orum and Eudric de Wippeyns, clerk, for one year”[2195]. Bishop of Basel: Gallia Christiana records “Gerardum de Wuippens, alias de Wippingen, Lausannensium episcopum” confirmed as bishop “Kal May 1310” after a disputed election[2196]. Gallia Christiana records the death “XVI Kal Apr 1325” of “Gerardus”[2197].

d) PIERRE de Vuippens (-Cyprus [1290/91]). An order dated 3 Jul 1290 confirmed a charter of “Otto de Grandison to Peter de Wypens his nephew” to whom he granted properties in Ireland, with remainder to “Gerard de Crous [=Gérard d’Oron], nephew of the said Otto”[2198]. Letters dated 12 Jul 1290: “Peter de Wyppays, gone to the Holy Land, nominating John de Brugges and Roger de Wenlok his attorneys for three years”[2199]. Dey says that Pierre “engagé dans une croisade,...se rendit dans l’Orient et mourut dans l’île de Chypre, l’année 1290”, adding that he ordered that his body be returned to Humilimont to which he donated annual revenue from his property “à Sorens” for his anniversary[2200]. He identifies this person as the oldest son of Ulric [I], but 3 Jul 1290 charter connects him with the Grandson family, meaning that this second Pierre was born from his father’s second marriage. Gérard de Vuippens acknowledged owing annual income to Humilimont, bequeathed by “son frère le chevalier Pierre de Vuippens”, by charter dated 1296[2201].

e) ULRIC de Vuippens . By order dated 13 Nov 1294 “Eymo de Quarton, provost of Lausanne [later bishop of Geneva], going beyond the seas on the king’s service, nominating Ralph de Mazo and Utdricus de Wyspayns for two years”[2202].

An order dated 20 Jan 1312 records “Eudricus de Wyspayns, staying beyond seas, has letters nominating Gerard de Wyspayns and Ivo de Rollendene his attorneys for two years”[2209].

Chapter 4. GRUYERE

A. COMTES de GRUYERE

The history of the county of Gruyère was studied in detail by Hisely in the mid-19th century[2210]. He also published a collection of sources relating to the county[2211]. This mainly consists of documents extracted from the archives of the Swiss cantons of Bern, Fribourg and Vaud, and includes charters from the monasteries of Hautcrèt and Hauterive. However, it is incomplete as other sources are referred to, and some quoted, in Hisely’s Histoire. The county of Gruyère was located north of Lake Geneva in the eastern part of the kingdom of Burgundy, in the territory of the present-day Swiss canton of Fribourg. Hisely suggests that the area was originally a pagus minor in the early county of Vaud, whose territorial limits he sketches as all the territory north of Lake Geneva as far as Lake Neuchâtel, west of the river Sarine (Saane)[2212]. The “Hochgau” or Ogo was located in the central part of this area, centred on the castle of Œx, around which the county of Gruyère evolved. The opportunity for Gruyère to evolve as a separate county probably resulted from the imperial grant of the county of Vaud to the bishop of Lausanne in 1010. It is not known whether the whole of the territory described by Hisely was the subject of the grant, but, even if it was, it is possible that the bishop would have been unable to exercise temporal jurisdiction throughout the area. Whatever the truth, references to the county of Gruyère emerge from the primary sources in the early 11th century. It is suspected that the comtes de Gruyère were vassals either of the comtes de Genève or the bishops of Lausanne until the early 13th century. At that time, the documentation reveals the growing regional influence of the comtes de Savoie. By charter dated 9 May 1244 “Rodulphus comes de Grueria” granted “castrum nostrum de Grueria” to “domino Petro de Sabaudia”, who granted it as a fief to “Willo filio nostro”[2213], although it is unclear whether the arrangement was made by Pierre de Savoie only in his capacity as Seigneur de Faucigny (which he held de iure uxoris). The enfeoffment of the count’s younger son in this document, in place of the count himself and his older son, is curious, but can be explained if a competing vassal relationship with the counts of Geneva or the bishop of Lausanne had not been legally terminated at the time. Whatever the true position, a charter dated 18 Apr 1289, under which Amédée V Comte de Savoie invested “dominus P comes Gruerie et Rodulphus eius nepos, filius quondam Petri de Grueria domicelli” with “castrum de Grueria, castrum de Montsalvans, castrum dou Vanel, castrum Doyz” as vassals[2214], shows that the vassalship under Savoy was well established by that date.

1. TURUMBERT [Turembert/Turimbert] (-after 18 Apr 930). According to Hisely, Turumbert was “Comte d’Ogo, soit de Gruyère”[2215]. His parentage is not known. The earliest known Seigneurs d’Aubonne (see above) also used the unusual name Turumbert but no family connection has been found. “Manasseus comes” donated property “in pago Genouense…in villa Mustiniaco” [Mustinie] in return for his burial by charter dated 2 Sep [891/92] or [915/16], signed by “Alexandrane que viro suo consensit, Geylendo comite, Turimberto, Adelberto”[2216]. “Manasses comes” donated property “in pago Genevense in fine Hercolana in villa Mustiniaco” to Lausanne by charter dated “V Kal Mai anno VI regnante domino nostro Rodolpho rege”, signed by “Alexandrone que viro suo consensit, Warimberto, Gerlendo, Turinberto, Litone, Ratone, Amaldrico”[2217]. “Dominum…comitem Turimbertum” exchanged property in Bulle and Riaz, as well as serfs, with Boson Bishop of Lausanne by charter dated 11 Nov “die martis III Id Nov anno XIII regnante domno nostro Ruodolfo rege”, signed by “Turimberti et uxoris sue Auane…”[2218]. Hisely dates this charter to 900, meaning that Rudolf I King of Burgundy was the king referred to in the dating clause[2219]. Hisely identifies the properties in question as located in the county of “Ogo” [”Hochgau”], the name by which the territory of Gruyère was previously known, and suggests that Turumbert was therefore Comte de Gruyère[2220]. “Bertagia” challenged an inheritance “in pago Equestrico” by charter dated 18 Jan 926, which names “Turumbertum comitem, et Anselmum comitem de pago Equestrico atque Hugonem conte palatio” comprising the court[2221]. A charter dated 18 Apr 930 records that the monastery of Saint-Maurice d’Agane granted property “in pago Vualdense…et in pago Ausicense…[et] in pago Caputlacense” [Vaud, Ogo, and Chablais], donated by “Ado bone memorie et Tornigus”, to “Turimberte et uxor tua Envina…et filie vestre…Adeyleydis” for life[2222]. m AVANE, daughter of --- (-after 18 Apr 930). “Dominum…comitem Turimbertum” exchanged property and serfs with Boson Bishop of Lausanne by charter dated 11 Nov “anno XIII regnante domno nostro Ruodolfo rege”, signed by “Turimberti et uxoris sue Auane…”[2223]. A charter dated 18 Apr 930 records that the monastery of Saint-Maurice d’Agane granted property “in pago Vualdense…et in pago Ausicense…[et] in pago Caputlacense” [Vaud, Ogo, and Chablais], donated by “Ado bone memorie et Tornigus”, to “Turimberte et uxor tua Envina…et filie vestre…Adeyleydis” for life[2224]. Turumbert & his wife had one child:

a) ADELAIDE (-after 18 Apr 930). A charter dated 18 Apr 930 records that the monastery of Saint-Maurice d’Agane granted property “in pago Vualdense…et in pago Ausicense…[et] in pago Caputlacense” [Vaud, Ogo, and Chablais], donated by “Ado bone memorie et Tornigus”, to “Turimberte et uxor tua Envina…et filie vestre…Adeyleydis” for life[2225].

[Two] siblings, parents not known:

1. son . m ---. [Two] children:

a) GUILLAUME [I] . Comte de Gruyère. A charter dated 1 Aug 1115 records that “Willermus comes et coniux eius Agatha filiique eorum necnon Vldricus eiusdem comitis avunculi filius et coniux eius Bertha et filii eorum” donated property for the founding of Rougemont monastery (dated to end-11th century), that “filius eius Hugo”, on leaving for Jerusalem, and “Turinus et Hubertus nepotes predicti comitis…alius Torinus et Wido nepotes eius de Perausa…Recho de Villar vicedominus…Arnoldus et fratres eius de Villar…Redboldus de Mangins…Vldricus comitis filius Willermi Lausannensis ecclesie canonicus…Williermus comes…et filius eius Reymundus” donated other property, all confirmed by Girard de Faucigny Bishop of Lausanne[2226]. m AGATHE, daughter of ---. A charter dated 1 Aug 1115 records that “Willermus comes et coniux eius Agatha filiique eorum…” donated property for the founding of Rougemont monastery (dated to end-11th century)[2227].

It is uncertain from the wording of this document whether Hugues was the son of Guillaume or of Ulric.]

ii) RAYMOND . A charter dated 1 Aug 1115 records that “…Vldricus comitis filius Willermi Lausannensis ecclesie canonicus…Williermus comes…et filius eius Reymundus” donated property to Rougemont monastery[2229]. According to Hisely, Raymond succeeded his father as Comte de Gruyère but he cites no primary source in which he is named as such[2230].

iii) ULRIC . A charter dated 1 Aug 1115 records that “…Vldricus comitis filius Willermi Lausannensis ecclesie canonicus…Williermus comes…et filius eius Reymundus” donated property to Rougemont monastery[2231]. Canon at Lausanne.

ii) HUBERT . A charter dated 1 Aug 1115 records that “Willermus comes et coniux eius Agatha filiique eorum necnon Vldricus eiusdem comitis avunculi filius et coniux eius Bertha et filii eorum” donated property for the founding of Rougemont monastery (dated to end-11th century), and “Turinus et Hubertus nepotes predicti comitis…alius Torinus et Wido nepotes eius de Perausa…” donated other property, all confirmed by Gérard de Faucigny Bishop of Lausanne[2233].

2. [son/daughter . The charter dated 1 Aug 1115 quoted below confirms the relationship between Comte Guillaume and Comte Ulric. However, it is not known whether the relationship was through the latter’s mother or father. If avunculus in the document is strictly interpreted, the relationship would have been through Ulric’s mother, but such a strict interpretation cannot be guaranteed to be correct. m ---.] One child:

a) ULRIC . A charter dated 1 Aug 1115 records that “Willermus comes et coniux eius Agatha filiique eorum necnon Vldricus eiusdem comitis avunculi filius et coniux eius Bertha et filii eorum” donated property for the founding of Rougemont monastery (dated to end-11th century)[2234]. m BERTA, daughter of ---.

[Four] brothers:

1. GUILLAUME [II] (.after 1136). Comte de Gruyère. According to Hisely, Guillaume [II] and his brother Radbod were sons of Raymond, son of Guillaume [I] (see above), but he does not cite the primary source on which this is based[2238]. A charter dated 1136 records that the abbey of Humilimont, near Marsens, was founded “per…potentes dominos de Marsens”[2239]. A charter of Amédée Bishop of Lausanne, dated to the mid-12th century, confirmed the foundation of the abbey and names “Willelmus comes de Grueria et Radbodus frater eius, qui eidem ville [Marsens] dominabantur”[2240]. The necrology of Humilimont records “XVII Kal Dec” donations by “Willermi, Radbodi, Thorinci, Jorandi de Grueria, Vldrici, Borcardi, Otthonis et Alberti, Borcardi et Rodolphi, filiorum Amiconis” of property “de Rueria…inter Marsens et Escharlens”[2241].

2. RADBOD (-after 1136). A charter of Amédée Bishop of Lausanne, dated to the mid-12th century, confirmed the foundation of the abbey and names “Willelmus comes de Grueria et Radbodus frater eius, qui eidem ville [Marsens] dominabantur”[2242]. The necrology of Humilimont records “XVII Kal Dec” donations by “Willermi, Radbodi, Thorinci, Jorandi de Grueria…” of property “de Rueria…inter Marsens et Escharlens”[2243].

3. [TURIN (-after 1139). A charter dated 1139 records the foundation of Hauterive abbey by Guy Bishop of Lausanne and donations made with the consent of “Amadeus comes Gebennensis” and witnessed by “Willelmus de Glana, Torinus et Joran de Grueria, Radulphus de Ponte”[2244]. The necrology of Humilimont records “XVII Kal Dec” donations by “Willermi, Radbodi, Thorinci, Jorandi de Grueria…” of property “de Rueria…inter Marsens et Escharlens”[2245]. Hisely suggests that Turin and Joran were brothers of Comte Guillaume [II][2246]. As noted, Turin is recorded as a name used in the family of the early comtes de Gruyère.]

4. [JORAN (-after 1139). A charter dated 1139 records the foundation of Hauterive abbey by Guy Bishop of Lausanne and donations made with the consent of “Amadeus comes Gebennensis” and witnessed by “Willelmus de Glana, Torinus et Joran de Grueria, Radulphus de Ponte”[2247]. The necrology of Humilimont records “XVII Kal Dec” donations by “Willermi, Radbodi, Thorinci, Jorandi de Grueria…” of property “de Rueria…inter Marsens et Escharlens”[2248]. Hisely suggests that Turin and Joran were brothers of Comte Guillaume [II][2249].]

1. RODOLPHE [I] (-before [1197]).

[Hisely notes that "suivant une opinion" [of A. L. de Watteville = Wattenwyl] Jeannette, daughter of Pierre [II] Comte de Gruyère, married “Guillaume de Grandson”[2421]. David Williams traced the citation to an undated mid-18th century manuscript genealogy, which he consulted in the Burgerbibliothek in Bern. He notes the absence of any source reference for the marriage in the document, but highlights Wattenwyl’s use of primary source material and concludes that “there is no obvious reason to believe that Wattenwyl fabricated the marriage, and very probably he used otherwise unknown charter evidence or an earlier genealogy as his source”[2422]. If her marriage is correct, it must have taken place after Mar 1267 when Jeannette is named with her parents and siblings as shown above. Bearing in mind Guillaume’s likely birth date it is probable that the couple did not marry before [1275]. The possibility of this Grandson/Gruyère marriage seems good, especially as Jeannette’s older brother was already married to Guillaume’s sister. m (after [1275?]) as his first wife, GUILLAUME de Grandson, son of PIERRE Seigneur de Grandson & his wife Agnes de Neuchâtel (-27 Jun 1335).]

B. SEIGNEURS de GLÂNE

“La Glâne” is today one of the districts of the Swiss canton of Fribourg, centred on Romont about 15 kilometres north-west of Gruyère. The precise geographical extent of the medieval seigneurie of Glâne has not been ascertained.

Two brothers:

1. PIERRE de Glâne (-killed Payerne Abbey 9 Feb or 1 Mar 1127, bur Cluniac priory Nirves). Seigneur de Glâne. “...Petrus de Glana inter Jur et Montem Jovis...” witnessed the charter dated 1107 (before 13 Aug) under which “Willemus Burgundionum comes et Mathicensium” confirmed donations to Cluny made by his predecessors[2505]. The Fundatio monasterii…de Altaripa records that “pater [domini Guillelmi de Glana] Petrus et frater suus Guillelmus de Glana” were killed “V Id Feb…apud Paterniacum” in 1126 (O.S.) “cum…comes Viennensi qui etiam comes Solodorensis et dominus Salinensis” and were all buried “in prioratu Cluniacensi…in insula…in lacu de Nirvez”[2506]. The dating of the event is slightly different in one of the Continuations of Sigebert which records that “Guilelmum comitem Sedunensium” [Guillaume III Comte Palatin de Bourgogne] was murdered “1127 III Kal Mar” in the church of Payerne “at the instigation of demons”[2507]. m ---. The name of Pierre’s wife is not known. However, it is possible that she was --- von Oltingen, daughter of KUNO Graf von Oltingen & his wife --- de Luxembourg. The reasoning is as follows. A charter dated 1170, which records the division of revenue for Hauterive abbey, records that “Petrus dominus de Glane” had “quatuor filias…una…Emma…”, adding that Emma was “mater Vldrici domini de Arconciei”[2508]. It is assumed that this document means that Emma was heiress of Arconciel, which she brought to the family of the comtes de Neuchâtel. Heinrich IV King of Germany granted “castrum Arunciacum...in pago...Ochtlanden in comitatu Tirensi et villam Faverni et Salam” {Arconciel/Ergenzach in Oechtland in the county of Tirens} to “Cononi comiti” by charter dated 1082[2509]. “Cononi comiti” has not definitely been identified as Kuno Graf von Oltingen. However, if this co-identity is correct, it is reasonable to suppose that Kuno granted Arconciel to his daughter on her marriage. It is interesting to note that Pierre Seigneur de Glâne was killed during the same incident with Guillaume III Comte de Palatin de Bourgogne who, if this suggested marriage is correct, would have been the great-nephew of Pierre’s wife, the son of her presumably older sister Regina. Pierre & his wife had five children:

a) GUILLAUME de Glâne (-Hauterive Abbey 7 Feb 1142, bur Hauterive). A charter dated 1139 records the foundation of Hauterive abbey by Guy Bishop of Lausanne and donations “in manu Dominus Wilhelmus de Glana”, donations made with the consent of “Amadeus comes Gebennensis” and witnessed by “Willelmus de Glana, Torinus et Joran de Grueria, Radulphus de Ponte”[2510]. The Fundatio monasterii…de Altaripa records its foundation “V Kal Mar” in 1137 by “Guillelmum de Glana ex…comitum Viennensium familia oriundum”[2511]. Guillaume became a monk at Hauterive, where he died[2512]. The Fundatio monasterii…de Altaripa records the death “III Id Feb” in 1142 of “dominus Guillelmus de Glana fundator huius domus” and his burial in the abbey[2513].

b) EMMA de Glâne (-after 1146).

e) AGNES de Glâne (-21 Apr or 26 Sep, after [1197]). A charter dated 1170, which records the division of revenue for Hauterive abbey, records that “Petrus dominus de Glane” had “quatuor filias…una…Emma…alia Ita…Iuliana alia soror…Agnes quarta soror”, adding that Agnes married “comitis de Ogo”[2527]. The necrology of Hauterive commemorates “dominarum quatuor sororum domini Guillelmi de Glana fundatoris nostri, Emmæ uxoris Rodolphi de Novo castro domini de Arconcie, Agnetis uxoris comitis de Ogo et Grueria, Julianæ matris domini de Montsalvens et Ithæ quæ in Tharentasia maritum ignotæ stirpis accepit”[2528]. A charter dated 1162 confirms the foundation of the abbey of Hauterive and records donations by “Radulphus comes de Grueria in Arenario de Pratellis” with the consent of “Agnes uxor…et filii eius Wilhelmus, Petrus Amadeus filiaque Agatha”[2529]. “Rodulphus comes de Ogo et Agnes uxor eius” donated property to Hauterive, with the consent of “primogenitus eorum”, by charter dated 1172, witnessed by “Petrus filius…”[2530]. “Agnes comitissa de Grueria” donated property to Hauterive, for the souls of “Rodulphi mariti sui atque filii sui Wilelmi”, with the consent of “Petrus et Rodulphus filii eius”, by charter dated to [1170][2531]. “Petrus comes de Grueria et Radulphus frater eius” relinquished rights to revenue from Onnens in favour of the property of Hauterive abbey, with the consent of “Agnes comitissa, Clementia uxor Petri comitis, Gertrudit uxor Rodulphi fratris Petri comitis”, by charter dated to [1197][2532].

The Fundatio monasterii…de Altaripa records that “pater [domini Guillelmi de Glana] Petrus et frater suus Guillelmus de Glana” were killed “V Id Feb…apud Paterniacum” in 1126 “cum…comes Viennensi qui etiam comes Solodorensis et dominus Salinensis” and were all buried “in prioratu Cluniacensi…in insula…in lacu de Nirvez”[2535]. The dating of the event is slightly different in one of the Continuations of Sigebert which records that “Guilelmum comitem Sedunensium” [Guillaume III Comte Palatin de Bourgogne] was murdered “1127 III Kal Mar” in the church of Payerne “at the instigation of demons”[2536]. A charter dated 1170, which records the division of revenue for Hauterive abbey, records that “Petrus dominus de Glane” had “quatuor filias…una…Emma…alia Ita…Iuliana alia soror…Agnes quarta soror”, and names “Guilelmi…avunculi sui de Glana”[2537].

C. SEIGNEURS de MONTSALVAN

According to Hisely, the seigneurs de Montsalvan were a younger branch of the family of the comtes de Gruyère but he does not explain the basis for his statement nor give details of the precise connection[2538]. In one of the charters quoted below, dated 1162, Pierre de Monsalvan is named “Petrus de Gruiera” which suggests that Hisely may be correct. It would fit from a chronological point of view if Guillaume Seigneur de Montsalvan was a younger son of Guillaume [II] Comte de Gruyère.

1. [GUILLAUME de Gruyère] (-before 1162). Seigneur de Montsalvan. Hisely names the husband of Juliane but does not cite the primary source on which this information is based[2539]. m JULIANE de Glâne, daughter of PIERRE Seigneur de Glâne & his wife --- (-after 1180). A charter dated 1170, which records the division of revenue for Hauterive abbey, records that “Petrus dominus de Glane” had “quatuor filias…una…Emma…alia Ita…Iuliana alia soror…Agnes quarta soror”, adding that Juliane was mother of “Petro filio suo”[2540]. The necrology of Hauterive commemorates “dominarum quatuor sororum domini Guillelmi de Glana fundatoris nostri, Emmæ uxoris Rodolphi de Novo castro domini de Arconcie, Agnetis uxoris comitis de Ogo et Grueria, Julianæ matris domini de Montsalvens et Ithæ quæ in Tharentasia maritum ignotæ stirpis accepit”[2541]. A charter dated 1162 confirms the foundation of the abbey of Hauterive and records donations by “Petrus de Gruiera et Juliana mater eius apud Foz castrum”, with the consent of “Agnes soror eius”[2542]. “Juliana et Petrus filius eius et Petronella uxor Petri” donated property to Hauterive by charter dated 1165[2543]. “Juliana et Petrus filius eius de Montsalvan” donated property to Hauterive abbey by charter dated 1169[2544]. “Petrus de Montsalvant et Juliana mater eius” donated property to Hauterive abbey by charter dated 1172[2545]. “Iuliana” donated property to Hauterive abbey, and “Petrus de Montsilvan et Iuliana mater eius” confirmed other donations, by charter dated 1180[2546]. [Guillaume] & his wife had two children:

a) PIERRE de Montsalvan (-[1180/81]). A charter dated 1162 confirms the foundation of the abbey of Hauterive and records donations by “Petrus de Gruiera et Juliana mater eius apud Foz castrum”[2547]. The Fundatio monasterii…de Altaripa records that “Rudolpho comite de Grueria et Petro domino Montsalvant fratre dicti Rudolphi, Uldrico domino de Arconciel, et Uldrico comite de Novo-Castro nepotibus…comitis de Glana ex sororibus” consented to donations by “Guillelmum de Glana ex…comitum Viennensium familia oriundum” to the abbey of Hauterive[2548], although Pierre de Montsalvan was the cousin not brother of Rodolphe Comte de Gruyère. “Juliana et Petrus filius eius et Petronella uxor Petri” donated property to Hauterive by charter dated 1165[2549]. “Juliana et Petrus filius eius de Montsalvan” donated property to Hauterive abbey by charter dated 1169[2550]. “Petrus de Montsalvant et Juliana mater eius” donated property to Hauterive abbey by charter dated 1172[2551]. “Petrus de Monte Silvano, Nantelmus Rufus miles eiusdem Petri, Turinus de Villar” witnessed the charter dated 1173 under which “Radulphus comes de Grueria” donated property to Hauterive abbey, with the consent of “filii eius Willelmus, Petrus, Amadeus”[2552]. “Iuliana” donated property to Hauterive abbey, and “Petrus de Montsilvan et Iuliana mater eius” confirmed other donations, by charter dated 1180[2553]. m PETRONILLE d’Estavayer, daughter of ---. “Juliana et Petrus filius eius et Petronella uxor Petri” donated property to Hauterive by charter dated 1165[2554]. According to Hisely, the wife of Pierre de Montsalvan was the sister of Conon d’Estavayer, provost of Lausanne[2555]. Pierre & his wife had one child:

i) GUILLAUME de Montsalvan (-before 1227). “Willelmus filius Petri de Montsalvan” confirmed the property of Hauterive abbey by charter dated [10/11] Jan [1181/82][2556]. His death without direct heirs is suggested by the charter dated 1227 under which “Willermus filius domini Petri Achardi” confirmed that he held property in fee from “Rodulfo iuvene comite de Gruieri, qui habet filiam domini Jordani de Bealmont” which “avus et pater meus” held from “dominis de Montsalvan”[2557]. The fact that the property of Guillaume de Montsalvan reverted to Rodolphe [III] Comte de Gruyère provides another indication of the probable relationship between the two families.

b) AGNES (-after 1162). A charter dated 1162 confirms the foundation of the abbey of Hauterive and records donations by “Petrus de Gruiera et Juliana mater eius apud Foz castrum”, with the consent of “Agnes soror eius”[2558].

David Williams, by email 14 Apr 2021, highlights (1) Matile’s examination of original documents relating to the Vaumarcus and Estavayer families, noting that he received information from “Niklas Friedrich von Mülinen” to whom Jean-Louis Estavayer had bequeathed his manuscripts, and (2) that “Sterki” presumably refers to Claude Jean Louis Sterchi de Morges (1718-1805), notaire, whose papers are in the Archives Cantonales Vaudoises.
