This document groups the nobility in the north-eastern part of the duchy of Normandy, located in the present-day département of Seine-Maritime. 

 

 

 

Chapter 1.    ARQUES

 

 

The pagus Tellau (Talou), within the episcopal diocese of Rouen, was located north-east of Rouen and was bordered by the pagus Vimnau (Vimeu) to the north-east, the sea to the north-west, the pagus Caletensis (Caux) to the west, and the pagus Rotomagensis to the south-east[1].  The county of Talou was granted in the mid-11th century by Duke Guillaume II to his uncle Guillaume, who transformed the territory into the county of Arques after constructing the castle of that name on his land, although no further counts are recorded as he presumably died childless.  It is assumed that after that time the nobility in the territory of the former county were direct vassals of the dukes of Normandy. 

 

 

 

A.      COMTE de TALOU, COMTE d’ARQUES

 

 

1.         GUILLAUME de Normandie, son of RICHARD II "le Bon/l'Irascible" Duke of Normandy & his second wife Papia [Poppa] --- ([1020/26]-[Boulogne] after [1054]).  Guillaume of Jumièges records that Duke Richard II married secondly, after the death of his first wife, “Papiam” by whom he had “Malgerium...archipræsulem et Willelmum Archacensem”, adding that the latter was granted “comitatum Talogi” by Duke Guillaume II who was “iam in adolescentia” and built “castrum Archarum in cacumine ipsius montis[2].  Orderic Vitalis calls him brother of Mauger, and specifies that Duke Guillaume II invested him as Comte de Talou[3].  “Willelmus...comes filius...Ricardi Normannorum quondam ducis” restored “insulam in fluvio magno Secane...Belcinaca...ecclesias eciam Vatheuille et Brotonii” to Saint-Wandrille by charter dated to [1032/47], subscribed by “Godofredi vicecomitis, comitis, Walterus filius, Lambertus, Willelmus, Osbernus[4].  "Vuillelmus Ricardi magni ducis Normannorum filius" donated property to the abbey of Jumièges by charter dated to [1040][5]Comte d’Arques: "Guillelmus Archensis comes et frater meus Malgerius Archiepiscopus" donated the vill of Periers sur Andelle to the monastery of Saint-Ouen at Rouen, at the request of "matris mee Paveie" and the consent of "Guilielmo Normannorum comite", by charter dated to [1047/50][6].  Guillaume II Duke of Normandy confirmed the donation of “ecclesias...in maris Constantini pagi...” made by “Roberto...Hunfredi...filio” to Saint-Wandrille by charter dated to [1035/53], subscribed by “Roberti filii Hunfredi, Rogeri fratris eius, Anscetilli, Willelmi filii Ricardi secundi Normannorum ducis, Rogerii filii Radulfi de Warethna, Rogerii filii Ragnulfi, Gilleberti Crispin, Willelmi Guiet[7].  Guillaume of Jumièges records that “Willelmum Archacensem” rebelled against Duke Guillaume, helped by Henri I King of France, that “Ingelrannus Abbatisvillæ comes...ac Hugo cognomento Bardulfus” were killed by the duke´s forces, and that Guillaume left “cum uxore sua sorore...Widonis comitis Pontivi” and was welcomed by “Eustachium Boloniæ comitem” with whom he remained in exile until he died[8].  William of Malmesbury records that Guillaume II captured the fortress of Arques, and Guillaume went into exile in [1054][9].  No record has been found of his having left descendants.  m --- de Ponthieu, daughter of HUGUES [II] Comte de Ponthieu & his wife Berthe d'Aumâle.  Guillaume of Jumièges records that “Willelmum Archacensem” went into exile “cum uxore sua sorore...Widonis comitis Pontivi” after his rebellion was crushed by Duke Guillaume II and found refuge with “Eustachium Boloniæ comitem” with whom he remained in exile until he died[10]

 

 

 

B.      VICOMTES d’ARQUES, SEIGNEURS de LONGUEVILLE (GIFFARD)

 

 

 [Three] brothers, parents unknown, but their names suggest a Viking origin: 

1.         OSBERN de Bolbec, son of --- (-bur [Saint-Etienne de Fontaines]).  ["Duke Richard [II]" donated property to the abbey of Mont Saint-Michel by charter dated to [1026], subscribed by "…Osbernus frater comitisse, Hunfredus frater eius…"[11].  There are two possibilities for identifiying "comitisse": (1) she could have been the donor’s second wife Papia, who is named in two documents with a brother named Osbern (see NORMANDY DUKES), or (2) she could have been Gunnor, wife of Richard [I] Duke of Normandy and mother of the donor, although in that case "frater" should be interpreted as "brother-in-law" in light of the source quoted below which names Osbern’s wife as Gunnor’s sister.]  A manuscript at Caen, which commemorates the death of Abbess Mathilde, daughter of William I King of England, names "Osbernus Giffardus, Haduisa eius conjunx" among the deceased at "sancti Stephani Fontanensis", presumably indicating that they were buried there[12].  It is assumed that "Osbernus Giffardus" refers to Osbern de Bolbec given that his son used the name Giffard.  “...Osbernus avunculus comitis, Walterius fr. eius...” subscribed the charter under which Guillaume Duke of Normandy donated the church of Arques to Saint-Wandrille, dated to [1035/55][13]m [firstly] [AVELINE], sister of GUNNORA [mistress of Richard I Duke of Normandy], daughter of ---.  Guillaume de Jumièges records that "Gunnor" had “excepta Sainfria...duas sorores Wewam et Avelinam”, adding that “tertia...sororum Gunnoris comitissæ” [Aveline, from the context] married “Osberno de Bolebec”, by whom she had “Galterium Giffardum primum et Godefridum patrem Willelmi de Archis[14].  She and her three sisters, as well as their husbands, are named by Robert de Torigny[15].  On the other hand, the Genealogia Fundatoris of Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire names ”Turketillus…frater…Turulphi, cuius filius Hasculfus d’Harcourt” married “aliam sororem…comitissæ Gunnoræ” by whom he was father of “duos…filios…Walterum de Giffard primogenitum…[16].  As noted below, another primary source indicates that the wife of "Osbernus Giffardus" (assumed to refer to Osbern de Bolbec given that his son used the name Giffard) was named Hawise[17].  It is not known whether Osbern was married twice or whether all the sources cited refer to the same person, one or other mistaking the name.  [m secondly HAWISE, daughter of --- (-bur [Saint-Etienne de Fontaines]).  A manuscript at Caen, which commemorates the death of Abbess Mathilde, daughter of William I King of England, names "Osbernus Giffardus, Haduisa eius conjunx" among the deceased at "sancti Stephani Fontanensis", presumably indicating that they were buried there[18].  It is supposed that "Osbernus Giffardus" refers to Osbern de Bolbec, given that his son used the name Giffard.  If this is correct, Hawise was presumably his second wife, unless "Aveline" is an error for "Hawise" in Guillaume de Jumièges and Robert de Torigny which names Osbern’s supposed first wife.]  Osbern & his [first/second] wife had four children: 

a)         GAUTHIER Giffard (-before 1085).  Guillaume de Jumièges records that "Gunnor" had “excepta Sainfria...duas sorores Wewam et Avelinam”, adding that “tertia...sororum Gunnoris comitissæ” [Aveline, from the context] married “Osberno de Bolebec”, by whom she had “Galterium Giffardum primum et Godefridum patrem Willelmi de Archis[19].  “...Walterius Gyfardus...” subscribed the charter under which Guillaume Duke of Normandy donated the church of Arques to Saint-Wandrille, dated to [1035/55][20].  Seigneur de Longueville, Normandy.  "…Walterius Giffardus…" witnessed the charter dated 29 Aug 1060 under which "milite…Richardo…fratribus Willelmo…atque Balduino" donated "Gausberti Villa" to Chartres Saint-Père[21].  The Brevis Relatio de Origine Willelmi Conquestoris records that "Waltero Giffardo" contributed 60 ships towards the invasion of England in 1066[22].  Orderic Vitalis names “...Galterius Giphardus et Radulphus Toenites...” among those who took part in the battle of Hastings[23].  He received grants of 107 lordships (48 in Buckinghamshire) as his reward[24].  Orderic Vitalis records that King William installed “Guillermum Osberni filium” at his new fortress at Winchester (“intra mœnia Guentæ”) and appointed him “vice sua toti regno versus Aquilonem”, while he granted “Doveram...totamque Cantiam” to “Odoni fratri suo”, and thus he entrusted “his duobus præfecturam Angliæ”, seconded by “Hugonem de Grentemaisnilio et Hugonem de Monteforti, Guillelmumque de Garenna”, dated to 1067[25].  Orderic Vitalis states that the king "gave [Walter Giffard] the county of Buckinghamshire", in the chronicler's description of post-conquest grants made by King William, without specifying that he was created earl[26]m ERMENGARDE, daughter of GERARD Flaitel & his wife ---.  Guillaume de Jumièges records that "Galterium Giffardum primum” married “unam filiarum Girardi Flatelli[27].  [The necrology of Longueville records the death 13 May of “domina Hermengauda comitissa condam hujus loci” and her confirmation of the donation made by “illos de Saukervilla” of “molendino de Longa Villa[28].  It is not certain whether this entry refers to the wife of Gauthier Giffard or to the wife of his grandson Walter Giffard.]  Gauthier & his wife had [five or more] children: 

i)          WALTER Giffard (-in England 15 Jul 1102, bur Longueville, Normandy[29]).  Guillaume de Jumièges names "Galterium Giffardum primum” as father of “secundum Galterium Giffardum...[30].  He succeeded his father in his lands.  Orderic Vitalis records that King William I granted "comitatum Buchingeham" to "Gualterio...cognomento Gifardo"[31].  Domesday Book records land held by “Walter Giffard” in West Hanney in Wantage Hundred in Berkshire[32].  Orderic Vitalis records that “Rodbertus Aucensium comes et Gauterius Gifardus et Radulfus de Mortuomari” and nearly all the seigneurs who lived “trans Sequanam usque ad mare” joined King William II against his brother Robert Duke of Normandy and received considerable sums to fortify their castles, dated to [1089/90][33].  He was created Earl of Buckingham [after 1093] by King William II, although known contemporarily as Earl Giffard[34]

-        EARLS of BUCKINGHAM

ii)         WILLIAM Giffard .  Bishop of Winchester.  The History of the foundation of St John’s abbey, Colchester names “Rohaisam…soror Willielmi Giffardi episcopi Wintoniæ” as wife of “Ricardi…filius Gilberti comitis[35].  "…Willelmi Giffardi episcopi…" subscribed a charter dated 14 Sep 1101 under which Henry I King of England donated property to Bath St Peter[36]

iii)        ROHESE Giffard (-after 1113, bur [Colchester]).  Guillaume de Jumièges names "Galterium Giffardum primum” as father of “secundum Galterium Giffardum et filias plures” of whom “una...Rohais” married “Richardo filio comitis Gisleberti[37].  Orderic Vitalis records that “Gisleberti comitis [filium] Ricardum” married “Roaldem Gualterii Gifardi filiam[38].  Domesday Book records “Rohais wife of Richard son of Gilbert” holding Standon in Braughing Hundred in Hertfordshire[39].  According to the Genealogia Fundatoris of Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire, ”Rohesia” married secondly “Eudoni dapifero Regis Normanniæ” after the death of “Ricardo filio comitis Gisleberti” and that they were both buried “tempore Henrici primi” in “castrum Clecestriæ…cœnobio in honore sancti Johannis” which Eudo constructed[40].  According to the Complete Peerage, this genealogy is “probably erroneous” but it does not explain the basis for the doubts[41].  From a chronological point of view, the connection would be tight, assuming that the death date of Richard FitzGilbert is correctly estimated to [1090] and the birth of Rohese’s granddaughter by her alleged second marriage, Beatrix, is correctly assessed at [1105].  This supposed second parentage is disproved by sources quoted in the section dealing with Eudes de Rie.  m [firstly] RICHARD FitzGilbert de Brionne, son of GILBERT de Brionne "Crespin" Comte d'Eu & his wife --- (before 1035-[1090], bur St Neots, Huntingdonshire).  [Incorrect supposed second marriage: m secondly EUDES de Rie dapifer, son of HUBERT [I] de Rie & his wife ---(-1 Mar 1120, bur Colchester).] 

iv)        daughters .  Guillaume de Jumièges names "Galterium Giffardum primum” as father of “secundum Galterium Giffardum et filias plures” of whom “una...Rohais” married “Richardo filio comitis Gisleberti[42]

v)         [AMFRIDA (-2 Jan [1099/1100]).  The Chronicon Beccensis Abbatiæ records that "tempore S. Anselmi abbatis Becci tres matronæ nobiles…Basilia uxor Hugonis de Gornaco, et Amfrida neptis ipsius Basiliæ, et Eva uxor Guillelmi Crispini" entered Bec and lived at the abbey, adding that they died on three consecutive Sundays "Amfrida Basiliæ neptis...minor...ætate, virgo…IV Non Jan, qua sepulta…Basilia domina eius…XVII Kal Feb…tertia Eva…X Kal Feb...post mortem...viri sui Guillermi Crispini...Beccique usque ad finem vitæ...perseuerauit"[43].  Gurney dates the passage to [1099/1100][44].  The parentage of Amfrida is uncertain.  However, Ermengarde is the only sibling of Basilie Flaitel who is known to have had children, so it is possible that she was the daughter of Gauthier Giffard.] 

b)         GODEFROI Giffard .  Guillaume de Jumièges records that "Gunnor" had “excepta Sainfria...duas sorores Wewam et Avelinam”, adding that “tertia...sororum Gunnoris comitissæ” [Aveline, from the context] married “Osberno de Bolebec”, by whom she had “Galterium Giffardum primum et Godefridum patrem Willelmi de Archis[45]Vicomte d'Arques, which he presumably inherited from his father-in-law  “Willelmus...comes filius...Ricardi Normannorum quondam ducis” restored “insulam in fluvio magno Secane...Belcinaca...ecclesias eciam Vatheuille et Brotonii” to Saint-Wandrille by charter dated to [1032/47], subscribed by “Godofredi vicecomitis, comitis, Walterus filius, Lambertus, Willelmus, Osbernus[46]m --- de Rouen, daughter of GOZELIN Vicomte de Rouen et d’Arques & his wife Emmeline ---.  Her parentage is confirmed by a charter dated 1080 which relates that "Gozelinus vicecomes de Archis…cum coniuge sua et filiis" founded Sainte-Trinité de Rouen and donated property, and that "Willelmus de Archis heres defuncti…avi sui Gozelini" confirmed the donation[47].  "Grandfather" must be "maternal grandfather" as the paternal ancestors of Guillaume d'Arques are confirmed by Guillaume de Jumièges (see above and below).  Godefroi & his wife had [three] children: 

i)          GUILLAUME d'Arques (-[1090]).  Guillaume de Jumièges records that "Gunnor" had “excepta Sainfria...duas sorores Wewam et Avelinam”, adding that “tertia...sororum Gunnoris comitissæ” [Aveline, from the context] married “Osberno de Bolebec”, by whom she had “Galterium Giffardum primum et Godefridum patrem Willelmi de Archis[48].  "Guillelmus et Gislebertus filii Godefredi Archarum vicecomitis" donated land in Montvilla to Sainte-Trinité de Rouen dated 1059[49]Vicomte d'Arques.  Lord of Folkestone[50].  A charter dated 1080 relates that "Gozelinus vicecomes de Archis…cum coniuge sua et filiis" founded Sainte-Trinité de Rouen and donated property, and that "Willelmus de Archis heres defuncti…avi sui Gozelini" confirmed the donation[51].  [Orderic Vitalis records “Edgarus Adelinus et Robertus Belesmensis atque Guillelmus de Archis monachus Molismensis” as the advisers of Robert [III] Duke of Normandy, dated to [1089][52].  It is possible that the third named person was Guillaume Vicomte d’Arques but no other record has been found that he became a monk at Molesme in Burgundy before he died.]  m BEATRIX Malet, daughter of GUILLAUME [I] Malet & his wife Esilia [Crespin].  “Beatrix soror Roberti Malet” donated property to Eye priory, for the souls of “fratrum meorum Roberti Maleth et Gilberti Malet”, by undated charter[53].  Brown indicates that Beatrix donated Redlingfield to Eye by undated charter which confirms her as husband of "William vicomte of Arques"[54].  “Willielmus de Abrincis miles dominus de Folkestan” confirmed donations to Folkestone priory, including the donations made by "Beatrix post mortem domini sui Willielmi de Archis" of "terram dotis suæ de Newenton" by undated charter[55].  Guillaume & his wife had two children: 

(a)       MATHILDE d'Arques .  Guillaume de Jumièges records "Mathildis" as the daughter of “Willelmi de Archis”, adding that she married “Willelmus camerarius de Tancarvilla” by whom she had “filium Rabellum qui ei successit[56]m GUILLAUME [I] de Tancarville, son of RAOUL [I] de Tancarville & his wife Avicia --- (-1129). 

(b)       EMMA d'Arques (-after 1140).  “Willielmus de Abrincis miles dominus de Folkestan” confirmed donations to Folkestone priory, including the donations made by "domini Nigelli de Munevilla quondam domini de Folkestan antecessoris mei…cum uxore sua Emma" for the souls of "antecessorum suorum…Willielmi de Archis et Beatricis uxoris illius" by undated charter, which also records that Nele died without male heirs and that Henry I King of England married "filiam eius…Matildam" to "Rualoni de Abrincis"[57].  “Manasses Gisnensis comes et Emma uxor eius…filia Willielmi de Arras” founded Redlingfield priory by charter dated 1120, witnessed by “Widonis fratris mei, Rosæ filiæ meæ[58].  The Historia Comitum Ghisnensium names "Emmam filiam Roberti camerarii de Tancarvilla in Normannia, viduam Odonis de Folkestane in Anglia" as wife of "Manasses"[59], which appears to be incorrect.  "Manasses Gisnensium comes et Emma comitissa" granted the administration of the church of Saint-Léonard to Saint-Bertin by charter dated 1129[60].  According to Domesday Descendants she became a nun at Saint-Leonard de Guines after the death of her second husband[61]m firstly NELE de Muneville, son of --- (-1103).  Lord of Folkestone.  m secondly (before 1106) MANASSES Comte de Guines, son of BAUDOUIN Comte de Guines & his wife Adela [Christina] [of Holland] (-Ardres 1137).  Emma & her first husband had one child: 

(1)       MATHILDE de Muneville .  “Willielmus de Abrincis miles dominus de Folkestan” confirmed donations to Folkestone priory, including the donations made by "domini Nigelli de Munevilla quondam domini de Folkestan antecessoris mei…cum uxore sua Emma" for the souls of "antecessorum suorum…Willielmi de Archis et Beatricis uxoris illius" by undated charter, which also records that Nele died without male heirs and that Henry I King of England married "filiam eius…Matildam" to "Rualoni de Abrincis"[62]m RUALON d’Avranches, son of --- (-[1130/34]). 

ii)         GISELBERT d'Arques (-after 1059).  "Guillelmus et Gislebertus filii Godefredi Archarum vicecomitis" donated land in Montvilla to Sainte-Trinité de Rouen dated 1059[63]

iii)        [OSBERN d'Arques .  He is named in Europäische Stammtafeln[64] as possible son of Godefroi Giffard but the primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified.  Domesday Book records “Osbern d’Arques” holding numerous properties in Yorkshire[65].]  m ---.  The name of Osbern's wife is not known.  Osbern & his wife had [two] children: 

(a)       GUILLAUME .  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. 

(b)       GISELBERT (-1112).  Orderic Vitalis records that, after the death of “Guillelmo Ebroicensium episcopo”, “Balduinus ducis capellanus” was appointed and was bishop for seven years, dated to 1070, and was in turn succeeded by “Gislebertus Osberni filius canonicus et archidiaconus Lexoviensis” who was bishop for more than 30 years[66]Bishop of Evreux [67]

c)         [JOSCELINE de Bolbec .  Josceline and her marriage are shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[68].  This is presumably based on Robert de Torigny, continuation of William of Jumièges[69], the unreliability of this part of whose chronicle is discussed in the Complete Peerage[70].  Guillaume of Jumièges records that “nepotes...plures...Gunnor...earum...quintam” married “Hugo de Monte-gummerici” by whom she had “Rogerius pater Roberti de Bellismo[71].  There must be considerable doubt about whether this can be correct as Osbern de Bolbec’s wife and Hugues de Montgommery’s mother would have been first cousins.]  m HUGUES de Montgommery Vicomte d'Hiémois, son of ROGER I Seigneur de Montgommery and Vicomte de l'Hiémois & his wife Josceline --- (-killed in battle 7 Feb [1035/before 1048], bur Troarn). 

2.         [HUNFRED .  "Duke Richard [II]" donated property to the abbey of Mont Saint-Michel by charter dated to [1026], subscribed by "…Osbernus frater comitisse, Hunfredus frater eius…"[72].  The brother of Osbern de Bolbec, assuming that “comitisse” in this document was Gunnor, the donor’s mother, as discussed above.] 

3.         GAUTHIER .  “...Osbernus avunculus comitis, Walterius fr. eius...” subscribed the charter under which Guillaume Duke of Normandy donated the church of Arques to Saint-Wandrille, dated to [1035/55][73]

 

 

 

C.      FLAITEL

 

 

1.         GERARD Flaitel (-[1047]).  “Ricardus princeps et dux Normannorum, filius Ricardi seniroris” donated “villam...Fontes in Braio...Brendelcurt cum ecclesia...æcclesiam de Nouobosco, æcclesiam de Bosmesnil...” to Saint-Wandrille, at the request of “Yvonis...militis”, by charter dated to [1024], subscribed by “Riccardi principis Normannorum, Papie comitisse, Roberti archipresulis fratris eiusdem principis, Yvonis militis...Hugonis Baiocensis episcopi, Girardi Flagitelli...[74].  “Gerardus cognomento Pernotus videlicet Flagitellus”, gravely ill, donated “æcclesiarum Cambagi et Ulmiri et Avesnelle et Marculfiuille qui vulgo dicitur Boscgerard...et...in Longoilo villa” to Saint-Wandrille and became a monk there by charter dated to [1038/47], subscribed by “Willelmus episcopus, W. comitis de vicecomitis G., Anscherii, Rodberti filii G., H. filii Withsonis...[75]m ---, daughter of ---.  The name of Gérard’s wife is not known.  The wife of Gérard Flaitel may have been the sister of Radbod Bishop of Sées: Orderic Vitalis records that “Guillelmus Radbodi Sagiensis episcopi filius...consobrinus Guillelmi præsulis Ebroicensium, filii Girardi Fleitelli” succeeded Lanfranc “in Cadomensi ecclesia” when the latter was appointed archbishop of Canterbury, dated to 1070, adding that Gullaume was appointed archbishop of Rouen nine years later[76].  Gérard & his wife had [seven] children: 

a)         GUILLAUME Flaitel (-1066).  Orderic Vitalis names "…Willermus episcopus Ebroicensis, filius Gerardi Fleitelli…" among the subscribers of a charter of Guillaume II Duke of Normandy dated to [1050][77]Bishop of Evreux 1046.  “Gerardus cognomento Pernotus videlicet Flagitellus”, gravely ill, donated “æcclesiarum Cambagi et Ulmiri et Avesnelle et Marculfiuille qui vulgo dicitur Boscgerard...et...in Longoilo villa” to Saint-Wandrille and became a monk there by charter dated to [1038/47], subscribed by “Willelmus episcopus, W. comitis de vicecomitis G., Anscherii, Rodberti filii G., H. filii Withsonis...[78].  "Willelmus…Ebrocassine civitatis episcopus" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Wandrille, in memory of "patris mei Girardi" and for the souls of "fratrum meorum", by undated charter[79].  Orderic Vitalis records that, after the death of “Guillelmo Ebroicensium episcopo”, “Balduinus ducis capellanus” was appointed and was bishop for seven years, dated to 1070, and was in turn succeeded by “Gislebertus Osberni filius canonicus et archidiaconus Lexoviensis” who was bishop for more than 30 years[80]

b)         ANSCHER Flaitel (-after [1047]).  “...Anscherius filius Gerardi Flagitel...” subscribed the charter under which Guillaume Duke of Normandy donated the church of Arques to Saint-Wandrille, dated to [1035/55][81].  “Gerardus cognomento Pernotus videlicet Flagitellus”, gravely ill, donated “æcclesiarum Cambagi et Ulmiri et Avesnelle et Marculfiuille qui vulgo dicitur Boscgerard...et...in Longoilo villa” to Saint-Wandrille and became a monk there by charter dated to [1038/47], subscribed by “Willelmus episcopus, W. comitis de vicecomitis G., Anscherii, Rodberti filii G., H. filii Withsonis...[82]

Chapter 2.    AUMÂLE

 

 

The lordship of Aumâle was located in the north-east of the duchy of Normandy, south of the county of Eu, centred on the town of Aumâle on the river Bresle.  It passed to the family of the Comtes de Ponthieu following the marriage of Berthe, heiress of Aumâle, to Hugues de Ponthieu.  Their son Enguerrand was Seigneur d'Aumâle as well as Comte de Montreuil.  On his death in 1053, his widow Adelais, illegitimate daughter of Robert II Duke of Normandy, styled herself as countess, but applied the title to the territory of Aumâle rather than Montreuil, apparently without any formal regrant.  Adelais brought the new “county” to her third husband Eudes Comte de Troyes, who was disinherited of his paternal inheritance and sought refuge in Normandy where he and his descendants were accepted as counts of Aumâle as vassals of the dukes.  The king of France captured the castle of Aumâle in 1196, and awarded the title to Renaud de Dammartin Comte de Boulogne in Dec 1204.

a)         GUILLAUME "le Gros" d'Aumâle (-20 Aug 1179, Abbey of Thornton, co Lincoln).  A manuscript genealogy of the Comtes d’Aumâle names “Willielmus le Groos” as son of “Stephani filii Odonis[123].  He succeeded his father as Comte d’Aumâle, Lord of Holderness.  "…Waleranni comitis de Mellent, Willielmi de Albemara, Simonis de Silvanecta…" witnessed the charter dated Easter 1136 under which Stephen King of England granted the manor of Bishop’s Sutton, Hampshire to Winchester cathedral[124]Gulielmus comes Albemarliæ” founded Melsa Abbey, for the soul of “fratris mei Hingeram”, by undated charter witnessed by “Hingeram fratre comitis[125].  Richard Prior of Hexham’s De Gestis Regis Stephani et de Bello Standardii records that King Stephen created "Willelmum de Albamarla" as "in Eboracensi…[comes]" after the battle of the Standard in Aug 1138[126].  The continuator of Simeon of Durham names "Willemus de Albamarla comes…" as the leaders of the English contingent at the battle of the Standard[127]"Willelmo comite Ebor[aci]…" witnessed the charter dated to [1138/43] under which Stephen King of England granted Furness Abbey, Lancashire to Savigny abbey[128]A manuscript narrating the foundation of Thornton Abbey records that it was founded in 1139 by “Willielmus Grose comes Albermarliæ”, and that “cognati sui Wallevi, prioris de Kyrkham…fratris Simonis comitis Northamtoniæ” arranged the arrival of the first monks[129].  The relationship between the two was through Judith de Lens, maternal grandmother of Waltheof, who was uterine sister of Guillaume’s father.  "…W[illelmo] com[ite] de Albarm[arla]…" witnessed the charter dated Christmas 1141 under which Stephen King of England granted property to "Gauf[edo] comiti de Essexa"[130]The Chronicle of Meaux, in Yorkshire, records that the abbey was founded by "Willielmus le Gros…comes Albemarliæ et dominus de Holdernesse" adding that he was "quasi dominus totius provinciæ Eboracensis"[131].  "Willelmus comes Albemarlie" confirmed donations to St Bees, for the souls of "…antecessorum uxoris mee Cecilie", by undated charter[132].  Benedict of Peterborough records the death in 1179 of "Willelmus comes Albemarliæ" and his burial "in abbatia sua de Tornetuna"[133].  A manuscript narrating the foundation of Thornton Abbey records the death “XIII Kal Sep” in 1180 of “comes et…monasteriorum fundator Willielmus Grose[134]m CICELY Lady of Skipton, daughter of WILLIAM FitzDuncan of Scotland & his second wife Alice Lady of Skipton (-before 1190).  The Cronicon Cumbriæ names “prima…Cecilia…secunda Amabilla…tertia Alicia” as the three daughters of “Willielmus”, son of “Doncani comes de Murrayse”, and his wife Alice, adding that Cicely received the honor of Skipton and married “Willielmo le Grossus comiti Albemarliæ[135].  "Willelmus comes Albemarlie" confirmed donations to St Bees, for the souls of "…antecessorum uxoris mee Cecilie", by undated charter[136].  "Cecilia comitissa Albamarlie" donated land "inter Esc et Duden…Kirkesantan et Haverigg…et Thueites" to St Bees, and confirmed the donation of "ecclesia de Gosford" made by "W[illelmi] fratris mei", by undated charter[137].  Comte Guillaume & his wife had [two] children:

i)          HAWISE d'Aumâle (-11 Mar 1214)The Cronicon Cumbriæ names “Hawysiam” as the child of “Willielmus Grossus comes Albemarliæ” and his wife, adding that he was succeeded by “Willielmus de Fortibus comes Albemarliæ”, in turn succeeded by “alter Willielmus de Fortibus”, and the latter by “Avelina” who married “Edmondo fratri domini Regis E” and died childless[138].  The Chronicle of Meaux names "Hawisiam" as the only daughter of "Willielmus le Groos" and his wife "Ceciliam…filiam Willielmi filii Dunnekan", adding that she married firstly "Willielmo de Mandavilla", secondly "Baldewino de Betoyn comiti Insulæ", and thirdly "Willielmum de Fortibus primum"[139]She succeeded her father in 1179 as Ctss d’Aumâle and Lady of Holderness.  Robert of Torigny records the marriage of "Guillermus comes de Magnavilla" and "filia Willermi comitis Albæ Marlæ" together with the county of Aumâle in 1179[140]Ralph de Diceto records that "Willelmus de Magna-villa comes Essexiæ" married "Hadewisam comtis Albimarlæ primogenitam…apud Pleizet in Essexia XIX Kal Feb" in 1180 and was granted his father-in-law’s county[141].  The 13th century Histoire des ducs de Normandie et des rois d’Angleterre records that "Aubemalle…Havi le contesse" married successively "le conte de Mandeville…Guillaumes" by whom she was childless, "Guillaume de Fors" by whom she had "i fills…Guillaumes", and thirdly "Bauduin de Biethune"[142].  "Ric de Luci fil Reginaldi de Luci" paid a fine for "terra sua de Copland et in Cautebige" relating to a claim against "B. com Albemarl et uxore sua et versus Rob de Curtenay et Alic uxorem suam", dated 1200[143].  “Hawisia comitissa Albemarlæ” donated property to Garendon Abbey, for the soul of “domini mei Willielmi de Mandevill comitis Essex”, by undated charter which refers to “post mortem domini mei Baldewini de Betunia…Willielmi comitis Albemarle patris mei[144].  The necrology of Choques records the death V Id Mar” of “Hadwidis comitissa Albæmarlæ[145]m firstly (Pleshy, Essex 14 Jan 1180) WILLIAM de Mandeville Earl of Essex, son of GEOFFREY de Mandeville Earl of Essex & his wife Rohese de Vere (-[Rouen/Gisors/Le Vaudreuil] Normandy 14 Nov 1189, bur Abbey of Mortemer).  He succeeded as Comte d'Aumâle in 1180, de iure uxorism secondly (after 3 Jul 1190) GUILLAUME de Forz, son of --- (-1195).  He succeeded as Comte d'Aumâle, de iure uxorism thirdly (before Jul 1196) BAUDOUIN de Béthune Seigneur de Choques [en-Artois], son of ROBERT [V] “le Roux” Seigneur de Béthune & his wife Adelaide --- (-Burstwick, Holderness 13 or 14 Oct 1212, bur Abbey of Meaux[146]).  He succeeded as Comte d'Aumâle in [1195/96], de iure uxoris

ii)         [AMICE .  By order dated 4 Nov 1278, "John de Aston" relinquished his claim, in return for four knights’ fees, to "his right in the earldom of Albemarle and in all the lands in England that at any time belonged to Alina de Fortibus, John de Fortibus, Thomas de Fortibus, William de Fortibus, and William le Gros sometime earl of Albemarle and to Hawisia his daughter" and "with all the right of Amice, Constance and Ranulph, John’s ancestors, and of others his and their ancestors, both in England and in Normandy"[147].  The Complete Peerage states that "John d’Eston [Eshton, Yorkshire]" claimed descent from "Avice, daughter as he averred" of Guillaume "le Gros" Comte d’Aumâle[148].  The order dated 4 Nov 1278 indicates his descent, presumably through Constance, supposed daughter of Amice, and Ranulph, supposed son of Constance (although these relationships are not specified in the order).  No indication has been found of the identity of the supposed husbands of Amice or of her supposed daughter Constance.  Sir C. G. Young suggested that the whole claim by John de Ashton was a fiction to give the king "a colourable pretence for retaining the honour in his own hands, as by admitting the fictitious claim, and then purchasing it from him, he shut out the real claim that might have been justly made by Wivelby (see below)"[149].  Young also points out that, if the claim had been valid, John de Ashton would have been the heir to all the honour of Albemarle and all the lands in Craven which were inherited from Amice’s supposed mother, and that it seems incredible that he would have relinquished such wealth for compensation which was valued at only one hundred pounds annually.] 

Comte Guillaume had one illegitimate child by an unknown mistress: 

iii)         GEOFFROY .  "Cecilia comitissa Albamarlie" donated land "inter Esc et Duden…Kirkesantan et Haverigg…et Thueites" to St Bees, and confirmed the donation of "ecclesia de Gosford" made by "W[illelmi] fratris mei", by undated charter, witnessed by "Galfrido filio comitis…"[150].  Geoffroy must have been illegitimate as there is no record of his having inherited the county of Aumâle from his father. 

b)         ENGUERRAND d’Aumâle (-after 1150).  Gulielmus comes Albemarliæ” founded Melsa Abbey, for the soul of “fratris mei Hingeram”, by undated charter witnessed by “Hingeram fratre comitis[151].  The chronology, as well as the names of the individuals concerned, suggests that Enguerrand may have been the same person as Enguerrand Vicomte d’Aumâle who, with his son Etienne, is named in a charter of Lannoy abbey dated 1155 (see Part E below). 

c)         [--- .  m ---.  One possible child:] 

i)          [EUPHEMIE Her origin is indicated by the charter dated to [1150/60] under which “W. comes Albemarle” granted property to “Eufemie nepti mee uxori Roberti de Brus[152]Domesday Descendants speculates that she was the daughter of Guillaume’s brother Enguerrand[153], although there seems no reason to choose one of his brothers over any of the others.  Another possibility is that she was the daughter of Guillaume’s sister Mathilde, whose husband Guermond de Picquigny is recorded with a sister named Euphemie.  Robertus de Brus” notified his donation to the hospital of St Peter, York by charter dated to [1150/70], witnessed by “domina Eufemia…[154]m ROBERT de Brus Lord of Annandale, son of ROBERT de Brus Lord of Skelton and Annandale & his first wife Agnes de Payanell (-after [1170/90]).] 

d)         ETIENNE d’Aumâle (-after 1150).  Gulielmus comes Albemarliæ” donated property to Melsa Abbey, for the souls of “Hingeram fratris mei et Stephani[155].  This document does not state that Etienne was another brother of Guillaume but this is implied from the text.  Sir C. G. Young recorded that "Wivelby" (referring to Philip de Wyvelesby[156]) proved his descent from Etienne (incorrectly called "Simon" in the Complete Peerage[157]), brother of Guillaume "le Gros" Comte d’Aumâle[158]

e)         daughter A manuscript history of the foundation of Melsa Abbey records that “Willielmus” had “sorores quatuor, filias Stephani” who married “una…vicedomino de Pynkeney, altera…vicedomino de Verberay, tertia…Bertanno de Brikebet, quarta Willielmo de Romare et postea Petro de Brus[159]m RICHARD de Gerberoy, son of ---. 

f)          ADELISE d'Aumâle ([1110/20?]-before [1168][160]).  A manuscript history of the foundation of Melsa Abbey records that “Willielmus” had “sorores quatuor, filias Stephani” who married “una…vicedomino de Pynkeney, altera…vicedomino de Verberay, tertia…Bertanno de Brikebet, quarta Willielmo de Romare et postea Petro de Brus[161].  Her birth date is estimated very approximately to [1110/20] to test the chronology of her descendants.  "Adeliza daughter of [Stephen] count Albemaris" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte for the souls of "Engelger her husband and Robert Bertrand her son" by charter dated to [1151/77][162]m firstly ROBERT [II] Bertrand Seigneur de Briquebec, son of ROBERT [I] Bertrand "le Tors" & his wife Suzanne ---.  m secondly as his second wife, INGELGER de Bohun, son of RICHARD de Meri & his wife Lucie --- (-[1172]). 

g)         [MATHILDE/BEATRIX] d'Aumâle A manuscript history of the foundation of Melsa Abbey records that “Willielmus” had “sorores quatuor, filias Stephani” who married “una…vicedomino de Pynkeney, altera…vicedomino de Verberay, tertia…Bertanno de Brikebet, quarta Willielmo de Romare et postea Petro de Brus[163].  The chronology suggests that the husband of the sister who married “vicedomino de Pynkeney” was Gérard de Picquigny, but it is not known whether it was his first or second wife.  The date of her parents’ marriage (“before [1100”) suggests that she may have been his first wife, whose name was Mathilde: Gérard de Picquigny granted tithes of salt at “Wimering” to Southwick priory, for the souls of his parents and his wife Matilda, and for the salvation of himself and his heirs, by charter dated [1160/65][164].  The distinction between the two groups of beneficiaries suggests that Mathilde was deceased at the time of the donation.  On the other hand the marriage date of her sister Agnes (“after 1143”) suggests that her identity as Gérard’s second wife cannot be excluded.  The name of Gérard’s second wife was Beatrix: Daire indicates that Beatrix wife of Gérard de Picquigny “paroît dans les Chartes en 1154” but provides no primary source citation[165]m [as his first/second wife,] GERARD de Picquigny Vidame d'Amiens, son of GUERMOND [II] de Picquigny Vidame d'Amiens & his wife Beatrix --- (-1178, bur Abbaye du Gard). 

h)         AGNES d’AumâleA manuscript history of the foundation of Melsa Abbey records that “Willielmus” had “sorores quatuor, filias Stephani” who married “una…vicedomino de Pynkeney, altera…vicedomino de Verberay, tertia…Bertanno de Brikebet, quarta Willielmo de Romare et postea Petro de Brus[166].  Secondary sources often indicate that Agnes’s husband was in fact Adam [I] de Brus.  This conclusion is based not only on the assumption that the manuscript history mistook "Petro" for "Adam", but also that it reversed the order of Agnes’s marriages: the birth date of Isabel, daughter of Adam [II] de Brus (son of Adam [I]), estimated to [1168/70] on the basis of her first marriage in [1180], suggests the likelihood that Adam [II] was born before 1143 (approximate date of Agnes’s marriage to William de Roumare) rather than after 1151 (date of death of William de Roumare).  As a general principle, it appears preferable to find ways of confirming that a primary source is factually correct rather than justifying why it is in error.  No other primary source has yet been identified which names Agnes as the wife of Adam, or as the mother of his children.  In addition, as noted in  SCOTLAND KINGS, Peter [I] de Brus was named in a charter dated to [1155/65].  It is therefore possible that the manuscript history is factually correct and that Agnes d’Aumâle married Peter as her second husband, presumably as his second wife considering his likely age by that time.  While waiting for other primary source information to emerge, this appears to be a safer interim conclusion compared with assuming that the manuscript history made two factual errors, relating to the name of Agnes’s Brus husband and to the order of her marriages.  m firstly (after 1143) WILLIAM de Roumare, son of WILLIAM Seigneur de Roumare & his wife Hawise de Reviers (-1151).  m secondly (after 1151) [as his second wife,] PETER [I] de Brus, son of --- (-after [1155/65]).

Stapleton states that "the surname de Fortibus" was derived from "Fors, a commune in the canton of Prahecq, arrondissement of Niort, departement of Deux Sèvres, in Poitou"[167].  Unfortunately, he purports to justify this statement by quoting the charter dated Feb 1233 (O.S.) under which “A[lix] comitissa Augi” confirmed that she relinquished "terram de Forzex eschæta Guillelmi quondam domini de Forz et comitis Aubemarle" to Louis IX King of France[168], which makes no mention of the location of "terram de Forz".  No indication has yet been found of any connection between Guillaume de Forz and the village of Fors, which lies due south of Niort in the département of Deux-Sèvres, although the Feb 1233 charter does suggest a geographical connection with a place named Forz/Fors.  The editor of the published edition of the Layette du Trésor des Chartes, in which the charter is reproduced, assumes that what he terms "la terre des Forts" was in Normandy.  This would explain how Alix Ctss d’Eu obtained an interest in the property, the county of Eu being adjacent to the county of Aumâle in north-east Normandy.  In addition, his marriage to the heiress of the county of Aumâle could best be explained if Guillaume de Forz was a powerful local nobleman.  On the other hand, an origin in Poitou is suggested by Roger of Hoveden who names "Willelmum de Forz de Ulerum"[169], presumably indicating the island of Oléron, due west of Rochefort in the present-day French département of Charente-Maritime.  The origin of the family of Guillaume [II] [de Forz], who is shown below, in Oléron appears confirmed by a charter dated 4 May 1150 under which Bernard Bishop of Saintes settled a dispute between Notre-Dame de Saintes and "Willelmum Aimerici quendam baronem de Holerone" concerning "decime...terre...de Bonamia", which the bishop found that “Gauterius de Forz avus eius” had donated when “Aiteldem filiam suam” had entered the monastery as a nun[170].  It is assumed that Guillaume [II] was descended from the same “Forz” family who were barons of Oléron (see POITOU, BARONS d’OLERON), although his precise descent has not been confirmed.  Other primary sources refer to Guillaume and his family as "de Fortibus", rather than "de Forz".  This recalls Guillaume de Vivonne "de Fortibus", son of Hugues de Vivonne seneschal of Gascony (see POITOU, SEIGNEURS de VIVONNE).  In the case of Guillaume de Vivonne, there is no indication that "de Fortibus" was used in any other way than as a personal nickname which was not transmitted to his descendants.  In his case, it is likely that the name was presumably the ablative plural of the Latin adjective fors/fortis, used in a nominal sense to indicate that the person in question was "among the strongest".  No family relationship has been traced between the Vivonne and Forz families. 

 

 

GUILLAUME [II] [de Forz] [Fortibus], son of --- (-1195)Roger of Hoveden records that Richard I King of England appointed "Girardum Auxiensem archiepiscopum, et Bernardum episcopum de Baonia, et Robertum de Sablun, et Ricardum de Camvilla, et Willelmum de Forz de Ulerum" as "ductores et constabularios totius navigii sui" at Chinon, dated to Jun 1190[171].  He succeeded as Comte d'Aumâle, de iure uxoris.  The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1190/91], records "Willelmus des Forz" paying "vi l de honore de Sciptone, xii milites…[et] x l de feodo Albæ Marlæ" in Yorkshire[172].  “Willielmus de Forz comes Albemarliæ” confirmed the donations to Pontefract Priory made by “domina Aaliz de Rumelli” by undated charter, witnessed by “Willielmo Britone tunc dapifero, Willielmo Painel…[173].  He accompanied Richard I King of England on crusade[174].  The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1194/95], records "Willelmus de Fortibus" among those granted delayed payment "per brevia" in Lincolnshire[175].  Roger of Hoveden records the death in 1195 of "Willelmus de Forz comes Albemarliæ"[176].  “A[lix] comitissa Augi” confirmed that she relinquished "terram de Forzex eschæta Guillelmi quondam domini de Forz et comitis Aubemarle" to Louis IX King of France by charter dated Feb 1233 (O.S.)[177]m (after 3 Jul 1190) as her second husband, HAWISE Ctss d'Aumâle, widow of WILLIAM de Mandeville Earl of Essex, daughter of GUILLAUME "le Gros" Comte d'Aumâle, Lord of Holderness & his wife Cicely Lady of Skipton [Scotland] (-11 Mar 1214).  The Cronicon Cumbriæ names “Hawysiam” as the child of “Willielmus Grossus comes Albemarliæ” and his wife, adding that he was succeeded by “Willielmus de Fortibus comes Albemarliæ”, in turn succeeded by “alter Willielmus de Fortibus”, and the latter by “Avelina” who married “Edmondo fratri domini Regis E” and died childless[178].  The Chronicle of Meaux names "Hawisiam" as the only daughter of "Willielmus le Groos" and his wife "Ceciliam…filiam Willielmi filii Dunnekan", adding that she married firstly "Willielmo de Mandavilla", secondly "Baldewino de Betoyn comiti Insulæ", and thirdly "Willielmum de Fortibus primum"[179]Robert of Torigny records the marriage of "Guillermus comes de Magnavilla" and "filia Willermi comitis Albæ Marlæ" together with the county of Aumâle in 1179[180]The Cronicon Cumbriæ names “Hawysiam” as the child of “Willielmus Grossus comes Albemarliæ” and his wife, adding that he was succeeded by “Willielmus de Fortibus comes Albemarliæ”, in turn succeeded by “alter Willielmus de Fortibus”, and the latter by “Avelina” who married “Edmondo fratri domini Regis E” and died childless[181].  The 13th century Histoire des ducs de Normandie et des rois d’Angleterre records that "Aubemalle…Havi le contesse" married successively "le conte de Mandeville…Guillaumes" by whom she was childless, "Guillaume de Fors" by whom she had "i fills…Guillaumes", and thirdly "Bauduin de Biethune"[182]She married thirdly (before Jul 1196) Baudouin de Béthune Seigneur de Choques [en-Artois], who succeeded as Comte d'Aumâle [1195/96], de iure uxoris.  “Hawisia comitissa Albemarlæ” donated property to Garendon Abbey, for the soul of “domini mei Willielmi de Mandevill comitis Essex”, by undated charter which refers to “post mortem domini mei Baldewini de Betunia…Willielmi comitis Albemarle patris mei[183]The king of France captured the castle of Aumâle in 1196, and gave the title to Renaud de Dammartin Comte de Boulogne in Dec 1204.  Guillaume & his wife had one child:

Chapter 3.    CAUX

 

 

The pagus Caletensis (pays de Caux), in the episcopal diocese of Rouen, lay west of the pagus Tellau (Talou, later the county of Arques)[213].  It did not correspond with any of the known medieval counties which developed later in the duchy of Normandy.  It is assumed that all the nobles based in this area who are shown below were direct vassals of the dukes of Normandy. 

 

 

 

A.      SEIGNEURS d’AUFFAY

 

 

GILBERT d'Auffay, son of RICHARD de Heugleville & his wife Ada --- (-15 Aug 1087, bur Sainte-Marie d’Ouche).  He helped his "consanguineus" William I King of England pacify the country after the 1066 invasion, but refused offers of estates in England and returned to Normandy[214].  Orderic Vitalis records that “generosus in Normannia miles...Gulbertus Ricardi de Huglevilla filius” donated “ecclesiam S. Mariæ de Alfagio” to Ouche Saint-Evroul, with the consent of “Beatricis conjugis suæ”, dated 1079, witnessed by “Bernardus de Novo-Mercato...Rodbertus de Huglevilla...[215].  Orderic Vitalis records that “Gulberto” died “XVIII Kal Sep” [year not specified, but from the context soon after the donation to Ouche Saint-Evroul which he made (see above)] and was buried at Ouche[216].  In another passage, Orderic Vitalis records the death “XIX Kal Sep” of “cognatus eiusdem [referring to William I King of England] Guilbertus Alfagiensis filius Ricardi de Huglevilla”, during the time when King William was unwell, and his burial “in ecclesia Sanctæ Mariæ ubi sex monachos ex Uticensi cœnobio constituerat[217]

m BEATRIX de Valenciennes, daughter of CHRISTIAN de Valenciennes & his wife --- (-4 Jan [1091], bur Sainte-Marie d’Ouche).  Orderic Vitalis records that “Gulbertus...Ricardi filius” married “Beatricem filiam Christiani de Valencenis...Mathildis reginæ consobrina[218].  Beatrix’s father has not otherwise been identified and the relationship between Beatrix and Queen Mathilde has not been traced.  Orderic Vitalis records that “generosus in Normannia miles...Gulbertus Ricardi de Huglevilla filius” donated “ecclesiam S. Mariæ de Alfagio” to Ouche Saint-Evroul, with the consent of “Beatricis conjugis suæ”, dated 1079, witnessed by “Bernardus de Novo-Mercato...Rodbertus de Huglevilla...[219].  Orderic Vitalis records that Beatrix died “II Non Jan” three years after her husband[220].  In another passage, Orderic Vitalis records the burial “II Non Jan” of “Beatrix uxor eius [referring to Guilbertus Alfagiensis filius Ricardi de Huglevilla]”, four years later during which she was a nun “in ecclesia Sanctæ Mariæ ubi sex monachos ex Uticensi cœnobio constituerat” and her burial there[221]

Gilbert & his wife had three children: 

1.         GAUTHIER d'Auffay (-27 May ----[3 years after his wife]).  Orderic Vitalis names “Gualterium et Hugonem atque Beatricem” as the children of “Gulbertus...Ricardi filius” and his wife[222].  Orderic Vitalis records that, after the death of “Gulberto”, “Gualterius filius eius” confirmed his father’s donation to Ouche Saint-Evroul[223].  Orderic Vitalis in a later passage says that he was "handsome but lacking in wisdom…easily dominated by Godmund and other false teachers…[and] dissipated his inheritance"[224].  Orderic Vitalis records the death “VI Kal Jun” of “Gualterius” nearly three years after his wife died[225]m AVISE, daughter of HERBRAND de Sauqueville & his wife --- (-22 Feb ----).  Orderic Vitalis records that, after he married “Aviciam Herbranni de Salchevilla filiam”, “Gualterius” further confirmed his father’s donation to Ouche Saint-Evroul and added “decimam...teleonei de Alfagio[226].  Orderic Vitalis records that “Aviciam, Herbranni filiam” had “tres fratres...milites: Jordanum et Guillelmum atque Rodbertum” who helped her husband maintain his property, that she and her husband had “filios et filias numero xii...quorum majorem partem immatura mors in infantia”, and that she died “VIII Kal Feb” after 15 years of marriage[227].  Gauthier & his wife had twelve children:

b)         JORDAN d'Auffay .  Orderic Vitalis records that on his death “Gaulterio” left “quatuor pupilli...Ricardus et Jordanus, Gualterius et Helias”, whom Henry I King of England took “in sua tutela” while entrusting “Alfagiense jus” to “Rodberto vicecomiti” for two years before “Jordanus de Salcavilla” took “ipsosque nepotes suos” for a further four years, adding that Richard died aged 12 and was succeeded by “Jordanus...frater eius[229].  King Henry I gave him Norton Ferris in Kilmington, Somerset on his marriage[230]m (after 1121) JULIANA, daughter of GODESCHALK & his wife ---.  Orderic Vitalis records that King Henry I arranged the marriage of “Jordanus” and “Julianam Godeschalchi filiam” who had come “cum Adelide regina de Lovennensi regione in Angliam[231].  “Godeschalk” has not been identified in the nobility in Brabant/Louvain at the time.  Jordan & his wife had one child: 

i)          RICHARD d'Auffay .  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  "…Ricardum de Altifago…Renaldum de Vassumvilla…" witnessed the undated charter under which "Hugo de Mortuo mari" confirmed the donations to Saint-Victor-en-Caux by "patre meo Radulfo…ab avo meo Rogerio"[232]m ---.  The name of Richard's wife is not known.  Richard & his wife had one child: 

(a)       JEAN d'Auffay .  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. 

c)         GAUTHIER d'Auffay .  Orderic Vitalis records that on his death “Gaulterio” left “quatuor pupilli...Ricardus et Jordanus, Gualterius et Helias”, whom Henry I King of England took “in sua tutela” while entrusting “Alfagiense jus” to “Rodberto vicecomiti” for two years before “Jordanus de Salcavilla” took “ipsosque nepotes suos” for a further four years[233].  He is called consanguineus of Roger son of Richard [de Clare] by Orderic Vitalis[234], but this relationship has not been traced.

B.      SEIGNEURS d’ESTOUTEVILLE

 

 

According to Le Prévost, this family originated in "Etouteville-sur-Mer, canton d’Yerville"[240], situated in the Pays de Caux about 30 kilometers north-west of Rouen.  The family was studied in the early 20th century by Gabriel de la Morandière[241].  He appears to clarify adequately the relationship between the Estouteville family in Normandy and the Stuteville family in England.  However, his account of the descent of the various branches of the English Stuteville family is confused and contradictory (see UNTITLED ENGLISH NOBILITY P-S).  In particular, he allocates to the English branch several of the members of the French branch, shown below, who also held property in England.  Concerning the French descent, Morandière cites enough primary source material to clarify some incompatibilities in the reconstruction presented by Père Anselme but he also perpetuates errors, some of which have hopefully been corrected below[242].  The family was also studied more recently by Clay[243], parts of whose work have been consulted.  The reconstructions in Europäische Stammtafeln appear broadly reliable but still include some of Morandière’s errors so should be used cautiously[244]

 

 

[Three] siblings, parents not known: 

1.         ROBERT [I] d’Estouteville (-after 1106).  The Liber Vitæ of Durham names "Robertus de Stuteville, Beatrix uxor eius, Robertus, Graulfus, Willelmus filii eorum, Emma Robertus…" and in a later passage the same names with the last two replaced by "Emme uxor Rodberti, Rodbertus filius eius…"[245].  Domesday Descendants suggests that these entries refer to Robert [I] d’Estouteville and his family[246].  Orderic Vitalis quotes a charter, dated to [1066/89], witnessed by "…Rodbertus de Stotavilla…"[247].  A charter of King Henry II records donations to York St Mary, including the donation of land in “Edelyngthorp…Harton…et decimas de dominio suo de Cukewald et Honingham, Kirkeby, Buttercram et Strayngham et Langtuna et…in Cucewald” by “Robertus de Stutavilla”, as well as land "in Mitona" by "Robertus de Maisnil et Robertus de Stutaville"[248].   Orderic Vitalis names "…Rodbertum de Stotavilla…" among the supporters of Robert III Duke of Normandy in 1105, among those who were captured at the battle of Tinchebrai in 1106, and who were condemned to life imprisonment[249]m BEATRICE, daughter of ---.  The Liber Vitæ of Durham names "Robertus de Stuteville, Beatrix uxor eius, Robertus, Graulfus, Willelmus filii eorum, Emma Robertus…"[250].  Domesday Descendants suggests that these entries refer to Robert [I] de Stuteville and his family[251].  Morandière states that "Robert I le vieux d’Estouteville et son autre sœur Amaurie ont épousé Blanche et Alain, enfants de Guéthénoc Sire de Rieux" (who he says was descended from a younger son of Alain I Duke of Brittany, who died in 907) but cites no primary source on which the information is based[252].  It is not impossible that "Blanche" was an error for "Beatrice", but no other corroboration has yet been found for her alleged parentage.  Morandière’s work does not appear convincing in relation to the early generations of the Estouteville family and it is suggested that the information should be treated with caution.  Robert [I] & his wife had four children: 

a)         EMMA d’Estouteville (-bur Ouche Saint-Evroul).  The Liber Vitæ of Durham names "Robertus de Stuteville, Beatrix uxor eius, Robertus, Graulfus, Willelmus filii eorum, Emma Robertus…" and in a later passage the same names with the last two replaced by "Emme uxor Rodberti, Rodbertus filius eius…"[253].  The chronology of her marriages suggests that she must have been considerably older than her brother Robert, maybe born from an earlier marriage of their father.  Orderic Vitalis records that Robert de Grantmesnil, son of “Hugo de Grentemaisnilio” and his wife, married secondly “Emmam Rodberti de Stotevilla filiam[254].  The chronology of these families suggests that Emma must have been Robert’s first wife not his second.  La Roque states that “une généalogie de la maison d’Estouteville” names Errand’s wife as “Emme et la comprend entre ceux du sang...[de] Robert d’Estouteville”, suggesting that she was the same person who later married “Hugues de Grentesmesnil[255].  The passage is somewhat garbled and in any case La Roque does not provide a citation reference to the source in question or quote it in his “Preuves”.  It is suggested that, until further documentation comes to light, this supposed marriage of Errand should be treated with caution.  Orderic Vitalis records that Robert de Grantmesnil died “Kal Jun” 38 years after his father and was buried at Ouche “cum duabus uxoribus suis: Agnete et Emma[256].  [m firstly ERRAND Seigneur d'Harcourt, son of ANSCHETIL d’Harcourt & his wife --- (-after 1078).]  m [secondly] as his [first] wife, ROBERT de Grantmesnil, son of HUGUES de Grantmesnil & his wife Adelise de Beaumont-sur-Oise ([before 1060]-1 Jun [1136], bur Ouche Saint-Evroul). 

b)         ROBERT [II] d’Estouteville (-after Aug 1138).  The Liber Vitæ of Durham names "Robertus de Stuteville, Beatrix uxor eius, Robertus, Graulfus, Willelmus filii eorum…"[257].  Domesday Descendants suggests that these entries refer to Robert [I] de Stuteville and his family[258]

c)         RALPH d’Estouteville .  The Liber Vitæ of Durham names "Robertus de Stuteville, Beatrix uxor eius, Robertus, Graulfus, Willelmus filii eorum…"[259].  Domesday Descendants suggests that these entries refer to Robert [I] de Stuteville and his family[260]

d)         WILLIAM d’Estouteville .  The Liber Vitæ of Durham names "Robertus de Stuteville, Beatrix uxor eius, Robertus, Graulfus, Willelmus filii eorum…"[261].  Domesday Descendants suggests that these entries refer to Robert [I] de Stuteville and his family[262]

2.         [MATHILDE d’Estouteville (-after [1101]).  Morandière states that "Maude d’Estouteville, femme de Gilbert Talebot" was granted the fief of Shrewsbury confiscated from Robert de Montgommery (dated to [1101]), adding that she was the sister of Robert [I] d’Estouteville[263].  The reference to the transfer of the Montgommery fief of Shrewsbury to the Talbot family is evidently anachronistic.  No other reference has been found to Mathilde and her supposed husband.  Until further corroboration comes to light, it is suggested that this information should be treated with caution.  m GILBERT Talbot, son of --- (-after [1101]).] 

3.         [AMAURIE d’Estouteville .  Morandière states that "Robert I le vieux d’Estouteville et son autre sœur Amaurie ont épousé Blanche et Alain, enfants de Guéthénoc Sire de Rieux" (who he says was descended from a younger son of Alain I Duke of Brittany, who died in 907) but cites no primary source on which the information is based[264]m ALAIN Seigneur de Rieux, son of GUETHENOC Seigneur de Rieux & his wife ---.] 

 

 

ROBERT [II] d’Estouteville, son of ROBERT [I] d’Estouteville & his wife Béatrice --- (-after Aug 1138).  The Liber Vitæ of Durham names "Robertus de Stuteville, Beatrix uxor eius, Robertus, Graulfus, Willelmus filii eorum…"[265].  Domesday Descendants suggests that these entries refer to Robert [I] de Stuteville and his family[266].  Orderic Vitalis names "…Rodbertus juvenis de Stotevilla…" among those who defended the castle of Saint-Pierre-sur-Dive and were captured, dated to [1106][267].  Simeon of Durham names "…Robertus de Stuthavilla…" among the leaders of the English contingent at the battle of the Standard (dated to Aug 1138)[268]

[m firstly (before 1106) JEANNE Talbot, daughter of [HUGUES Talbot Baron de Cleuville & his wife Marie de Meulan].  Morandière states that "Robert II le jeune d’Estouteville" married "avant le désastre de Tinchebray…Jehanne Talebot heritière de l’aisné des surnommés Talebot, barons de Cleuville", naming her grandfather "Richard Talebot…compagnon de son voisin Grondebœuf à Hastings" but not her father, adding that she died early leaving a son "Nicholas d’Estouteville"[269].  La Roque names Jeanne as older daughter of the parents named above and records her marriage[270]The primary sources which confirm this information have not been identified.  Until such sources emerge, it is suggested that these supposed persons should be treated with caution.] 

m [secondly] ERNEBURG, daughter of ---.  Her marriage is confirmed by the undated charter under which her son "Robertus de Stutevilla" confirmed donations to Rievaulx of "terram de Houetona", for the souls of "Roberti de Stutevilla avi mei et Roberti patris mei et Erneburgæ matris meæ et Helewisæ uxoris meæ"[271].  Clay highlights unsustainable theories regarding her family origin but concludes that there is no evidence to prove her parentage[272]

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

1.         [NICOLAS [I] d’Estouteville (-22 Apr 1177).  Morandière names "Nicholas d’Estouteville" as the son of "Robert II le jeune d’Estouteville" and his first wife "Jehanne Talebot" but does not cite the corresponding primary source[273].  Père Anselme names "Nicolas I sire d’Estouteville et de Vallemont, baron de Cleuville" as the oldest son of Robert [II] d’Estouteville without naming his mother, and without citing a primary source[274].]

3.         [RICHARD d’Estouteville .  Morandière names "Robert, Richard, Osmond, Patrick, Jean et Eustache" as the sons of "Robert II le jeune d’Estouteville" and his [second] wife Erneburg, adding that "ils nous sont donnés par les généalogies anglaises" but without citing the corresponding primary sources[277].  Père Anselme records that "Eustache et Richard d’Etouteville, s’établirent en Angleterre" and that they were the two younger sons of Robert [II] d’Estouteville without naming their mother, and without citing a primary source[278].] 

4.         ROGER d’Estouteville (-1190 or after).  “...Roberto de Stutevilla, Rogero fratre suo...” witnessed the charter dated 1163 under which King Henry II granted freedoms to the weavers of York[279].  King Henry II confirmed “manerium de Leestune...et Uptonam...et [revenue from] terra de Selfleta” to “Ranulfo de Glamvilla” by undated charter, witnessed by “Ricardo de Luci, Hugone de Cressi, Roberto de Stutevill, Rogero de Stutevill, Willielmo de Stutevill[280].  Clay cites numerous documents dated between 1170 and 1190 in which Roger was named[281]

5.         WILLIAM d’Estouteville (-after [1172]).  The order of names in the witness list of King Henry II’s charter quoted below suggests that William was younger than his brother Roger.  A manuscript recording the foundation of Byland Abbey, Yorkshire records “dominus Robertus de Stutevilla et Willelmus frater eius” settling their dispute with Byland concerning land “in territorio de Cokewald” [Coxwold] donated by “dominus R. de Molbray[282], dated to 1147 by Clay[283].  The Red Book of the Exchequer records enfeoffments in the duchy of Normandy in [1172], "Willemus de Stuteville" with one knight "de feodo de Dodeavulle…in baillia Willelmi de Malepalet"[284].  King Henry II confirmed “manerium de Leestune...et Uptonam...et [revenue from] terra de Selfleta” to “Ranulfo de Glamvilla” by undated charter, witnessed by “Ricardo de Luci, Hugone de Cressi, Roberto de Stutevill, Rogero de Stutevill, Willielmo de Stutevill[285]

Basset, R. filius Hugonis, Ricardus Engaine…Hugo Ridel…R. filius Nicolai de Stutauilla, Thomas frater suus…R. de Stutuilla, Nicolaus de Stutuilla…[291].  Military fee certifications in the Red Book of the Exchequer, in 1166, record that "Johannes de Stuteville" held "ix carucatas terræ in Cheteleby et in Hollewelle et in Herdeby et in Hevintone" from "Galfridi Ridel" in Northamptonshire[292].  Clay reviews his descendants, the Stuteville family of Warwickshire[293]m AGNES, daughter of ---.  The Thorney Liber Vitæ records John as son of Robert [II] d’Estouteville and his wife Eremburg, and his wife Agnes[294].  Domesday Descendants suggests that she was "probably daughter of Waleran, son of Hugh and Matilda"[295].  John & his wife had two children: 

a)         JOHN de Stuteville (-after [1160]).  "Gaufridus Ridel" confirmed a grant of property to "Johanni de Stutuilla" in his fee by charter dated to [1160], witnessed by "…R. filius Nicolai de Stutavilla, Thomas frater suus…R. de Stutuilla, Nicolaus de Stutuilla"[296].  "Gaufridus Ridel" granted various properties in the counties of Leicester, Rutland and Northampton to "Johanni fratri meo" by charter dated to [1160], witnessed by "…Radulfus Basset, Richardus Basset, W. Basset…Hugo Ridel…" and which notes that "ipse Johannes filius Johannis" swore homage to the grantor and gave him a gold ring[297].  William Reedy assumes that "Johanni fratri meo" was the grantor’s brother-in-law John de Stuteville[298].  This appears to be confimed as correct by the undated charter under which "Gaufridus Ridel" confirmed that "Johanni de Stutevilla" did homage to him by on the same day, witnessed by "…Radulfus Basset, Ricardus Basset, W. Basset…R. de Stutevill, Nicolaus de Stutevill…"[299]"Robertus de Stutevilla" confirmed donations to Rievaulx of "terram de Houetona" by undated charter witnessed by "…Johanne de Stutevilla, Nicholao de Stutevilla, Rogero de Stutevilla, Bartholomæo de Stutevilla…"[300]m MATILDA Basset, daughter of RICHARD Basset & his wife Matilda Ridel.  Her parentage and marriage are indicated by the charter date to [1160] under which [her brother] "Gaufridus Ridel" granted various properties in the counties of Leicester, Rutland and Northampton to "Johanni fratri meo", which notes that "ipse Johannes filius Johannis" swore homage to the grantor and gave him a gold ring[301]

b)         ROGER de Stuteville (-after [1183/84]).  Domesday Descendants names "John and Roger" as the sons of John d’Estouteville[302].  The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Rogerus de Stoteville xxxvii s vi d de militibus quos habet de feodo Adæ de Brus" in Yorkshire in [1171/72][303].  The 1169/70 Pipe Roll records "Roger de Stutevill" in Northumberland[304].  The 1173/74 Pipe Roll records "Roger de Stutevill" in Northumberland[305].  The 1174/75 Pipe Roll records "Roger de Stutteville" in Northumberland and “rebuilding the mill burned at Colebrige by the Scots war[306].  The 1176/77 Pipe Roll records "Roger de Stuteville" in Northumberland[307].  The Liber Vitæ of Durham lists (in order) "Rogerus de Stutewille et uxor eius, Anselmus filius eius"[308].  "Robertus de Stutevilla" confirmed donations to Rievaulx of "terram de Houetona" by undated charter witnessed by "…Johanne de Stutevilla, Nicholao de Stutevilla, Rogero de Stutevilla, Bartholomæo de Stutevilla…"[309].  The 1183/84 Pipe Roll records "Roger de Stuteville" rendering his account in Northumberland “in lands granted to the K. of Scotland, 10 l in Tindale[310]m ---.  The name of Roger’s wife is not known.  Roger & his wife had one child:

11.      [BURGA [de Stuteville] (-after 1166)Domesday Descendants names "Burga de Stuteville" as the wife of William Pantulf, but does not cite the primary source which confirms her family origin[316].  Clay records her marriage, saying that she was “probably” a daughter of Robert [II][317].  If this affiliation is correct, the chronology suggests that Burga was the daughter of Robert [II] d’Estouteville and his second wife, named after her mother.  Hubert Archbishop of Canterbury confirmed donations to Langley Nunnery, Leicestershire made by “Willielmus Pantulf…de Bredun”, and including other donations made by “…Burgæ quondam uxoris Willielmi Pantulf de Bredun”, by undated charter[318].  "William Pantulf of Samella, his wife Burga and his three sons William, Roger and Philip" donated "the land of Samella" to Saint-André de Gouffern by charter dated 1166, witnessed by "Willelmus Bastardus filius meus…"[319]m WILLIAM [II] Pantulf, son of [IVO Pantulf & his [second] wife Alice de Verdun] (-after 1166).]

Basset, R. filius Hugonis, Ricardus Engaine…Hugo Ridel…R. filius Nicolai de Stutauilla, Thomas frater suus…R. de Stutuilla, Nicolaus de Stutuilla…[340].  “...Roberto de Stotevilla...” witnessed the undated charter under which King Henry II granted exemption “from all dues on its own goods throughout his dominions” to Bocherville Saint-Georges by undated charter[341].  "…Nicolao de Stutevilla…Roberto de Stutevilla" subscribed the charter dated [1172/78] under which Henry II King of England confirmed donations to the abbey of Valasse[342].  Henry II King of England confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Valmont, including donations by "Roberti de Stuteville…Leonie uxoris predicti Roberti…Willelmi de Stuteville…Nicolai de Stuteville…Ricardi de Stuteville", by charter dated to [1177/89][343].  "Eustachio de Stuteville, Willelmo de Stuteville, Ansel de Stuteville…" subscribed the charter dated to [1177/89] under which Henry II King of England donated the forest of Lillebonne to the abbey of Valmont, for the soul of "Roberti de Stuteville"[344].  “Robert de Estotevilla” notified that “Evrard de Salesberiis” had donated rents from “hospites at Rames” to Bocherville Saint-Georges and that he, at the request of “his wife Leonia”, substituted “a rentcharge...on his mill...on the bank of the Biuredan”, for which the monks would receive him and his wife into the fellowship of the abbey, by undated charter, witnessed by “...Nicholao fratre eius, et Willelmo et Ricardo fratribus suis...[345].  Morandière records that he died "en 1183 ou 1185"[346]m ([1158/63?]) LEONIE de Salisbury, daughter of [---/EDWARD [III]?] de Salisbury & his wife --- de Rames ([1141/47?]-13 Jul [1214/15]).  Follow her hyperlink for discussion about her parentage.  Henry II King of England confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Valmont, including donations by "Roberti de Stuteville…Leonie uxoris predicti Roberti…Willelmi de Stuteville…Nicolai de Stuteville…Ricardi de Stuteville", by charter dated to [1177/89][347].  “Robert de Estotevilla” notified that “Evrard de Salesberiis” had donated rents from “hospites at Rames” to Bocherville Saint-Georges and that he, at the request of “his wife Leonia”, substituted “a rentcharge...on his mill...on the bank of the Biuredan”, for which the monks would receive him and his wife into the fellowship of the abbey, by undated charter, witnessed by “...Nicholao fratre eius, et Willelmo et Ricardo fratribus suis...[348].  The Rotuli de Dominabus of 1185 records “uxor Roberti de Stuteville…de parentela Edwardi de Salisburia ex parte patris et ex parte matris…de progenie Rogeri de Reimes”, her land “villam…Diham”, and adding that she has "i filium et ii filias"[349].  This Rotuli entry misrecords the number of Leonie’s children: the Welbeck abbey source cited below under her husband’s oldest son and successor, Henri d’Estouteville, confirms that Leonie was his mother and, as she survived her husband, she must have been the mother of all his other children shown below.  No explanation has been found for this error, unless the Rotuli only recorded her children who were still under age at the time.  “Leonia de Rennes” confirmed the donation of “villa de Dukmanton” made to Welbeck abbey by “Richardis Basset militis mei” by undated charter[350], later confirmed by her son Henri d’Estouteville (see below).  The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1194/95], records "Leonia de Stuteville" paying "ii m et dimidiam de parte sua de honore de Brunne" in Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire[351].  The same record lists "Gilbertus Peche" as paying "dimidiam de honore de Brunne", which suggests a family relationship between the two which has not yet been traced.  "Leonia que fuit uxor Rob de Stutevill" paid a fine for "seisina tota terra sua…disseisita pro perceptu dñi Reg occoe filii eiusd Leon q est in Norm…et pro…manerio de Barton", in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, dated 1204[352].  Round records “Hubert Fitz Ralf” returning in 1166 “as of thirty fees” and Leonie appearing with [a presumably later] “Hubert Fitz Ralf...as holding 15 fees each” during the reign of King John, linking these two entries to the [1186/87] record in the Red Book of the Exchequer, cited below under Leonie’s son Henri d’Estouteville[353].  The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Leonia de Stuteville" holding half of one knight’s fee "in Biham…honor de Reimes" in Essex, Hertfordshire, and 15 in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, in [1210/12][354].  The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Leoyna de Stuteville et Illaria Trussebute et Gulbertus Peche" holding land in "honor Peverelli de Dovere" in Norfolk, Suffolk in [1210/12][355].  Morandière records "l’Obit de Dame Lyonne" at Valmont 13 Jul[356]Europäische Stammtafeln dates her death to “1214/15[357].  The primary source which confirms this date has not been found.  Robert [IV] & his wife had [seven] children:

d)         GUILLAUME d’Estouteville (-after [1190/91]).  Europäische Stammtafeln names “Guillaume 1190” as second son of Robert [IV][362].  His parentage is indicated by the following document: the Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1190/91], records "Ricardus de Reymes" [maternal great-uncle of Guillaume] paying "c s", but "calumpniabatur quod Willelmus filius Roberti de Stuteville habet in dominico dimidium militem in Dedham" [see above under his mother], in Essex, Hertfordshire[363].  Guillaume was presumably his mother’s “i filium” recorded in the Rotuli de Dominabus of 1185 noted above. 

e)         --- d’EstoutevilleEuropäische Stammtafeln records her parentage and marriage[364].  They are confirmed by the 1202 claim brought by [her husband] “Robertus de Brettevill” against “abbatem de Osulveston”, relating to “ecclesiam de Guneby [Lincolnshire]...advocatio”, which “Gradelent de Taneie...miles” asserted belonged to “Willelmum Grimband et ei debet descendere ut nepoti Alardi”, whereas the claimant said that “Edwardi de Salebir qui frater primogenitum fuit eiusdem Graelant” had “filiam...Leoniam” who married “Robertus de Stutevill” who recovered “terram de Guneby” from “eundem Graelent” in the court of King Henry II and had granted “medietatem terre illi p servicio suo et medietatem in maritagium” to the claimant[365].  Maybe she was one of the two unnamed daughters, noted below, recorded in the 1185 Rotuli de Dominabusm (before 1185) ROBERT de Bretteville, son of --- (-after 1202).

3.         NICOLAS [II] d’Estouteville (-after [1187/88]).  His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated to [1181/83] under which Henry II King of England confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Valmont, including donations by "[Nicolai] de Stotevilla…Juliane uxoris predicti Nicolai…Roberti de Stotavilla filii eiusdem Nicolai…et…Nicolai de Stotevilla filii predicti Nicolai…Willelmi de Stotavilla filii predicti Nicolai senioris…Richardi de Stotavilla filii predicti Nicolai senioris…"[369].  Henry II King of England confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Valmont, including donations by "Roberti de Stuteville…Leonie uxoris predicti Roberti…Willelmi de Stuteville…Nicolai de Stuteville…Ricardi de Stuteville", by charter dated to [1177/89][370].  “Robert de Estotevilla” notified that “Evrard de Salesberiis” had donated rents from “hospites at Rames” to Bocherville Saint-Georges and that he, at the request of “his wife Leonia”, substituted “a rentcharge...on his mill...on the bank of the Biuredan”, for which the monks would receive him and his wife into the fellowship of the abbey, by undated charter, witnessed by “...Nicholao fratre eius, et Willelmo et Ricardo fratribus suis...[371].  Morandière quotes (in translation) an undated charter under which "Nicholas [d’Estouteville]" donated property to Valmont, for the souls of "mon épouse Hodierne…mon frère Robert" (no source citation)[372]"Nicholaus de Stutevilla" donated land "in Dregg" to St Bees by undated charter, witnessed by "Bartholomeo de Stutevilla…"[373]"Robertus de Stutevilla" confirmed donations to Rievaulx of "terram de Houetona" by undated charter witnessed by "…Johanne de Stutevilla, Nicholao de Stutevilla, Rogero de Stutevilla, Bartholomæo de Stutevilla…"[374].  The 1187/88 Pipe Roll records "William de Lindeseia owes 40 marks for having the right in the K’s court against Henry the clerk of Appelby, the Countess of Albemarle, and Nicholas de Stuteville in Uckemanebi and Blendherseta, and Wuering, and Leventona, and Laweswater, and Bekyrmet and Stapelthein" in Cumberland[375]Europäische Stammtafeln names him “sn d’Oherville, of Kimberley Norfolk” with the dates 1175/1205[376].  The sources to which these dates relate have not been identified.  m HODIERNE, daughter of ---.  Morandière quotes (in translation) an undated charter under which "Nicholas [d’Estouteville]" donated property to Valmont, for the souls of "mon épouse Hodierne…mon frère Robert" (no source citation)[377]Europäische Stammtafeln names her “Eidiva de Gournay, T v Hugues IV[378].  Nicolas & his wife had [three] children:

c)         [NICOLAS d’EstoutevilleEuropäische Stammtafeln, ignoring the two sons named above, records “Nicolas of Bedingham and Kimberley, co.

Paul sa troisième femme"[387].]  Guillaume & his wife had one child: 

a)         ADELAIS d’Estouteville (-after 1210).  Morandière records that "sa [referring to Guillaume] fille Adelais, mariée à Helies de Boesses" confirmed her father’s donations to Valmont by charter dated 1210 (no source citation), adding that her husband was probably “de la maison de Boessey-le-Châtel, dont la mère d’Errand de Harcourt au onzième siècle était principale héritière[388]Europäische Stammtafeln names her “Alice of Stratfield” and says that Adelais married secondly “Robert de Say[389], who has not yet been identified in the various Say families.  m HELIE de Boesses, son of --- (-after 1210). 

5.         RICHARD d’Estouteville .  “Robert de Estotevilla” notified that “Evrard de Salesberiis” had donated rents from “hospites at Rames” to Bocherville Saint-Georges and that he, at the request of “his wife Leonia”, substituted “a rentcharge...on his mill...on the bank of the Biuredan”, for which the monks would receive him and his wife into the fellowship of the abbey, by undated charter, witnessed by “...Nicholao fratre eius, et Willelmo et Ricardo fratribus suis...[390].  His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated to [1181/83] under which Henry II King of England confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Valmont, including donations by "[Nicolai] de Stotevilla…Juliane uxoris predicti Nicolai…Roberti de Stotavilla filii eiusdem Nicolai…et…Nicolai de Stotevilla filii predicti Nicolai…Willelmi de Stotavilla filii predicti Nicolai senioris…Richardi de Stotavilla filii predicti Nicolai senioris…"[391].  Henry II King of England confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Valmont, including donations by "Roberti de Stuteville…Leonie uxoris predicti Roberti…Willelmi de Stuteville…Nicolai de Stuteville…Ricardi de Stuteville", by charter dated to [1177/89][392]

6.         EUSTACHE d’Estouteville .  Père Anselme names "Eustache" as the youngest son of Nicholas d’Estouteville, without citing a primary source[393]

 

 

HENRI d’Estouteville, son of ROBERT [IV] Seigneur d’Estouteville & his wife Léonie --- (-5 Apr [1229/1231], bur Valmont).  Morandière names "Henri...Eustache et Samson" as the three sons of Robert [IV], noting in a later passage that they were named together in the “Papier des hommages du Comté de Meulent[394].  The identity of his mother is confirmed by Henri’s undated charter for Welbeck abbey, cited below.  Seigneur d’Estouteville et de Valmont.  Europäische Stammtafeln names him in addition “of Eckington, co. Derby, Kirkby in Ashfield, Barton and Bradmere, Notts., and Delham, Essex[395].  The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Henricus de Stoteville, xv l de feodo quod est inter ipsum et Hubertum filium Radulfi" in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire in [1186/87][396].  Round comments that this entry probably relates to an earlier “Hubert Fitz Ralf” returning in 1166 “as of thirty fees” and Henri’s mother Leonie appearing with “Hubert Fitz Ralf...as holding 15 fees each” during the reign of King John[397].  “Henricus de Stutevill” confirmed the donation to Welbeck abbey of “villam de Dukmanton, quam Rich. Basset tenuit de baronia mea”, in accordance with the charters [of] “dominæ Leoniæ de Reynes matris meæ et...Richardi Basset et Richardi de Wiverton” by undated charter[398] (see his mother’s confirmation charter cited above).  "Leonia que fuit uxor Rob de Stutevill" paid a fine for "seisina tota terra sua…disseisita pro perceptu dñi Reg occoe filii eiusd Leon q est in Norm…et pro…manerio de Barton", in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, dated 1204[399]Messire Henry d’Estouteville” donated property to Valmont by charter dated 1215 (no other details specified)[400]Henri d’Estouteville confirmed his father’s donation “aux Lépreux d’Etretat” of wood "à prendre sa forêt des Loges" in 1227[401]Henricus de Stotevilla” donated property to Valmont, for the soul of “Matildis Comitissa de Augo uxoris mee” and for a light “in die obitus dictæ Matildis uxoris meæ” by charter dated 13 Dec 1228[402]The necrology of Valmont records his death 5 Apr, while Morandière comments that his tomb at Valmont “à côté de celui de son père...a de même disparu[403].  He died before his son’s 1231 charter cited below. 

m MATHILDE, daughter of --- (-15 Dec, before 13 Dec 1228).  The sources agree that Henri’s wife was named Mathilde, but they are contradictory regarding her family origin.  The two possible alternatives are discussed below.  The key to the question may be tracing the earlier ownership of Torcy, as Mathilde donated revenue "à prendre sur le moulin de maritagii mei de Torcy" to Valmont by charter dated 1212 (no source cited)[404].  Morandière records her “obit...le 15 décembre” (no source cited, but presumably the necrology of Valmont)[405].  The year of Mathilde’s death is not known, her last known mention being the 1212 donation.  She was named as deceased in her husband’s 13 Dec 1228 charter, the wording of which suggests that her death may have been recent. 

(1) MATHILDE d’Eu, daughter of JEAN [I] Comte d'Eu & his wife Alice de Albini.  The following document confirms that Jean [I] had a daughter named Mathilde: “Alizia comitissa Augi” donated "terram meam de Snergate, infra wallum et extra" to Robert’s Bridge Abbey, for the souls of “Willielmi comitis Arundeliæ patris mei et Aliziæ reginæ matris meæ et…domini mei J. comitis Augi et Godefridi fratris mei et Matildis et Margaretæ filiarum mearum”, by undated charter, witnessed by “Henrico comite Augi, Roberto fratre eius, Aluredo de Sancto Martino…[406].  The Eu family chronology suggests her birth in [1160/70].  Her marriage is indicated by the Chronique des comtes d’Eu, written in 1390, which records that the older of the two daughters of "Jehan...[et]...Aaliz" married "l’aisné d’Estouteville qui estoient trois frères, qui vinrent d’Angleterre eulx marier en Caux"[407].  It should be noted that this source is late and is not consistently reliable. 

(2) as her third husband, MATHILDE, widow firstly of OSBERT de Préaux and secondly of HENRI [II] Comte d'Eu, daughter of [HAMELIN d'Anjou Earl of Surrey & his first wife ---].  Europäische Stammtafeln records this parentage as well as Mathilde’s second and (supposed) third marriages[408].  The suggestion is based on the Complete Peerage[409], which quotes a charter dated 13 Dec 1228 (reproduced by La Roque) under which Henricus de Stotevilla” donated property to Valmont, for the soul of “Matildis Comitissa de Augo uxoris mee” and for a light “in die obitus dictæ Matildis uxoris meæ[410]: the argument is presumably that Mathilde would not have been named “Comitissa de Augo” if she had been the daughter of Jean [I] Comte d’Eu.  Her first and second marriages are indicated by the charter dated Mar 1233 under which [her daughter by her second marriage] "Ælicia comitissa Augi in viduitate" granted revenue from "molendino de Duno" to “in matrimonium Ælidæ filiæ Petri de Pratellis fratris mei[411].  Mathilde’s connection with the Warenne family is indicated by the undated charter under which her same daughter “Haelisia comitissa Augy quondam uxor Radulfi de Ysondun comitis Augy” donated property to Roche Abbey, witnessed by “domino Willielmo comite Warennæ avunculo meo…[412].  Because Mathilde had five children by her first husband (who died maybe in [1172]), she could not have been Hamelin’s daughter by his known wife Isabelle de Warenne (which is what Europäische Stammtafeln says) as their marriage is dated to 1164.  There are at least two possibilities: either Mathilde was his daughter by an otherwise unrecorded earlier marriage or she was the daughter of Isabelle de Warenne by her first marriage with Guillaume de Blois Comte de Boulogne.  The chronology still appears tight for the latter possibility, and in any case it is unlikely as Guillaume’s daughter would have succeeded as Ctss de Boulogne after he died, in place of his sister.  Until more information comes to light, it is suggested that Mathilde was Hamelin’s daughter by an earlier marriage.  The chronology is not ideal for her supposed third marriage to Henri d’Estouteville: considering the birth of children by her first husband (married [1163/67?]), Mathilde was probably born around [1150] which seems inconsistent with giving birth to Henri’s children in the last decade of the 12th century.  In addition, no source has yet been found which links the Préaux and Eu families with the Estouteville family, which might be expected if all the children were siblings.  Another difficulty is Pipe Roll entries which indicate that Mathilde’s second husband was living in [Jul 1193/Jul 1194] and maybe in [Jul 1196/Jul 1197], which would push the births of the Estouteville children even later.  Another problem is the inconsistency with the date of death of Henri d’Estouteville’s wife which is noted above: the obituary of Le Tréport records the anniversary "30 Mar" of "Maltidis Augensis comitissa, Henrici comitis...sponsa"[413], while the Chronique des comtes d’Eu (admittedly not a consistently reliable source, especially relating to dates) records that Mathilde died 1207 "et demoura moult long temps en l’abbaye de Foucarmont en sa vefveté, et tenoit son estat à la porte" where she was buried next to her husband[414].  In addition, the charter of Mathilde’s son Pierre de Préaux, dated to [Jun 1200], suggests that his mother may have died before that date: “Petrus de Pratell” donated annual revenue to Notre-Dame de Beaulieu, for the salvation of “mee et patris mei et matris mee et fratrum meorum...Simonis et Rogeri, Iohannis et Engerranni[415].  If this charter is correctly dated, at least two of the donor’s brothers were alive, while his father was certainly deceased.  Could it be that the unnamed individuals (his parents) were deceased, but the named brothers were all living at the time?  It should be emphasised that this observation is speculative. 

All indications, except the 13 Dec 1228 charter transcribed by La Roque, suggest that (2) Mathilde was not the wife of Henri d’Estouteville.  However, the 1390 Chronique des comtes d’Eu, the only source which points to (1) Mathilde, is a late source which is not consistently reliable.  A definite conclusion about Mathilde’s parentage is difficult, but it presumably cannot be excluded that La Roque (who is not consistently reliable either) mistranscribed the 13 Dec 1228 document.  Another possibility is that (1) Mathilde and her husband claimed the county of Eu after her brother died in an attempt to displace her niece and that, despite the claim being unsuccessful, she was later accorded the title as a courtesy in Estouteville documentation.  

[Père Anselme, saying that the 1260 document cited below under Henri’s son Jean [I] names “Isabeau de Châteaudun” as the “domina de Estoutevilla...” (the extract consulted does not name her), indicates that Isabelle was Jean’s second wife[416].  Anselme’s suggestion is unsustainable considering that Agnes is named in the later sources cited below.  Morandière agrees, but takes the matter one step forward by indicating that “comme la Dame d’Estouteville ne saurait être que la femme ou la veuve du chef de la maison, celle-ci est forcément la deuxième femme de Henri, la belle-mère de Jean[417].  However, his position does not consider Jean [I]’s death before May 1259 which means that the unnamed “domina de Estoutevilla” in 1260 was probably his widow.  Morandière’s suggestion is repeated in Europäische Stammtafeln which names “Isabelle de Châteaudun 1202/59 T von Vcte Geoffroy” as Henri’s second wife married “nach 1213 resp 1217[418].  Until another document emerges which records Isabelle and her husband, it seems better to ignore this supposed second marriage.] 

Henri & his wife had [four] children: 

1.         JEAN [I] d’Estouteville (-15 Aug 1258).  His parentage is confirmed by his 1231 charter cited below.  Europäische Stammtafeln names him “of Tickhill, Eckington, Kirkby, Barton, Bradmere, and ½ Crick 1226[419]Seigneur d’Estouteville et de Valmont.  "Jehan d’Estouteville" donated property to Valmont, for the souls of "Henri mon père et de Mathilde ma mère…et de Agnès mon épouse et de Robert mon frère", specifying amounts for “l’annuel de mon père...[et] de Robert mon frère”, by charter dated 1231, witnessed by “Raoul d’Estouteville miles, G. de Préaux, Pierre, Guillaume et Nicolas de Hotot, milites” (no source citation)[420]Johannes d’Estouteville miles” donated property to Valmont, for the salvation of “Henrici patris mei et Matildis matris mee” and for his own soul and those of “Agnetis uxoris et Roberti fratris mei” by charter dated 1236, witnessed by “…Radulpho d’Estouteville militibus…[421]Seigneur du Bouchet: Johannes de Estotevilla miles dominus de Boscheto et Agnes uxor mea” renounced rights over the priory of Lancé in favour of Marmoutier, with the consent of “Robertus primogenitus noster, Radulphus et Astulphus filii mei”, by charter dated Mar 1249 (O.S.?)[422]Officialis curie Carontensis” prohibited “Johannis de Estoutaville militis” from interfering in the secular affairs of Lancé priory, with the threat of excommunication by charter dated 20 Jan 1249 (O.S.), and excommunicated “Johannes de Estoutevilla miles” by charter dated 1250/51 “die jovis in cena Domini[423].  “Johannes de Estoutovilla dominus de Valemont” promised to submit his disputes with Lancé priory to the arbitration of “Alfonsi, filii clare memorie regis Jerosolimo, comitis Augi...et...abbatis Majoris Monasterii” by charter dated 3 Jul 1251, a charter dated Jan 1250 [presumably 1252 (N.S.)] recording the arbitration process concerning “dominum Johannem de Stotevilla et Agnetem eius uxorem[424].  “Sirs John de Stuteville...” witnessed a charter dated 23 Feb 1256 (O.S.) under which Richard Earl of Cornwall donated “land of Hethe” to Hailes abbey[425].  The Testa de Nevill records that "Johannes de Stutevill qui tenuit de domino rege in capite" died "Assumpcionis Beate Marie anno regni regis xlii" [15 Aug 1258] and his land “medietas manerii de Dyham” reverted to the king who granted it to “Radulfo de Stutevill filio et heredi dicti Johannis[426].  Jean presumably died before his son’s May 1259 charter cited below.  m (before 1231) AGNES de Châteaudun, daughter of GEOFFROY [V] Vicomte de Châteaudun & his first wife Adela de Nevers (-19 Jul, 1272 or after, bur Valmont).  Her parentage is confirmed by the 1260 document cited below.  "Jehan d’Estouteville" donated property to Valmont, for the souls of "Henri mon père et de Mathilde ma mère…et de Agnès mon épouse et de Robert mon frère", by charter dated 1231 (no source citation)[427]Johannes d’Estouteville miles” donated property to Valmont, for the salvation of “Henrici patris mei et Matildis matris mee” and for his own soul and those of “Agnetis uxoris et Roberti fratris mei” by charter dated 1236, witnessed by “…Radulpho d’Estouteville militibus…[428]Johannes de Estotevilla miles dominus de Boscheto et Agnes uxor mea” renounced rights over the priory of Lancé in favour of Marmoutier, with the consent of “Robertus primogenitus noster, Radulphus et Astulphus filii mei”, by charter dated Mar 1249 (O.S.?)[429].  King Henry III, noting that he “prefixerit Roberto filio et heredi Johannis de Sotevyle jam defuncti certum terminum...in octabis Sancti Michaelis instantis”, until then granted “Agneti que fuit uxor predicti Johannis [de Sotevyle]...cum familia sua” possession of “manerio de Kirkeby, quod fuit eiusdem Johannis” by order dated 27 Aug 1258[430]Domina de Estoutevilla soror quondam Gaufridi vicecomitis Castriduni“ claimed “portionem suam iure hereditario contingentem de vicecomitatu Castriduni” from [the husband of her niece Clémence de Châteaudun] “domino Roberto de Drocis...cum filia sua“ by charter dated 1260[431].  Père Anselme, saying that this 1260 document names “Isabeau de Châteaudun” as the “domina de Estoutevilla...” (not the case in the extract consulted), indicates that Isabelle was Jean’s second wife[432].  The suggestion is unsustainable considering that Agnes is named in the later sources cited below.  Morandière quotes a charter dated Jun 1272 under which "Agnes [d’Estouteville] au temps de mon veuvage" donated property to Valmont, with the consent of "domini Roberti, domini Willelmi, et domini Estoldi, et Magistri Johannis de Estoutevilla canonici Rothomagensis, filiorum meorum" (no source citation)[433].  Morandière records her burial at Valmont, noting that "elle avait son Obit le 19 juillet" (no sources cited)[434].  Jean [I] & his wife had seven children:

b)         GUILLAUME d’Estouteville (-20 Jun ----).  “...William son of John de Stotevyle, John de Stotevyle...” were named among those who accompanied Richard Earl of Cornwall to Germany in 1257[436].  Morandière records that Guillaume "avait son obit le 20 juin" (no sources cited)[437]Robertus de Estoutevilla miles” donated property to Valmont, for the soul of “Johannis d’Estouteville patris mei”, by charter dated May 1259, witnessed by “…Guillelmo de Estoutevilla…militibus…Guillelmo de Estouteville[438]: presumably the donor’s brother Guillaume was one of the witnesses (the second witness Guillaume has not been identified).  An order dated 28 Jun 1270 granted “free warren in his demesne lands in Ekynton, co.

m firstly (before 1269) JEANNE [Talbot], daughter of [GUILLAUME Talbot & his wife ---] (-22 Sep ----, before May 1274, so maybe 1273).  Robert’s unnamed wife is referred to in the 1269 and 1270 orders cited above.  Robert d’Estouteville donated property to Valmont, for the soul of “mon épouse Jeanne défunte”, by charter dated May 1274 (no source citation)[491].  The necrology of Valmont records the deaths 22 & 23 Sep of “Dame Jehanne d’Estouteville et...Jehanne d’Estouteville fille de la dite Jehanne” (no source citation)[492].  Morandière suggests that, because Jeanne’s supposed son Robert was recorded as “sg. de Cleville” (see below), she may have been related to the Talbot family[493].  This suggestion recalls Jeanne Talbot, supposed first wife of Robert [II] d’Estouteville (married before 1106, see above).  Clay states that “Joan dau and heir of William Talbot a Norman” was named as “wife of Robert de Stuteville” in 1262[494].  Her supposed father has not been traced. 

m secondly ([20 Jan 1279/29 Nov 1281]) as her second husband, ELEONORE, widow of ALEXANDER Balliol, daughter of --- (-before 27 Sep 1310).  A charter dated 29 Nov 1278 records that the sheriff of Northumberland "is commanded to deliver to Alianora widow of Alexander de Balliol" land which she and her husband held "by gift of Alianora the queen mother"[495].  In the sources cited below, she is named variously “de Gebenun”, “de Gebenn” (Genève?), and “de Semeur” (Semur?).  The reference to Eléonore de Provence, Queen of England, granting her land suggests that she was yet another of the relative of the comtes de Savoie who were brought to England by the queen’s nephew Pierre de Savoie.  This speculation is supported by the charter dated 30 Dec 1278 under which King Edward I ordered that half of the proceeds from her husband’s estate be paid to "his cousin Alianora the widow…of Alexander de Balliol"[496].  The records of pleas taken before justices at Newcastle-upon-Tyne 20 Jan 1279 include the comment that "Alienora de Balliol is marriageable and her lands worth 100 marks yearly"[497].  An order dated 29 Nov 1281 granted “the manors of Kirkeby, co. Nottingham, and Dyham co. Essex” to “Robert de Stoteville and Eleanor de Gebenun his wife...[498].  An order dated 22 Nov 1285 granted “the manor of Ekynton, co. Derby” to “Robert de Stuteville and Eleanor de Gebenn his wife...[499].  An order dated 10 Jul 1293 “to supersede...the exaction for outlawry of Robert de Stutevill and Eleanor his wife...”, while an order dated 6 Dec 1293 superseded the order indefinitely[500].  Freytag von Loringhoven records a charter dated 1298 which names her “consanguinea” of Edward I King of England[501].  “Robert de Estouteville seigneur dou Bouchet et Alyennor de Semeure sa femme” agreed the rights of the priory of Lancé “membre de Marmoutier” in “[le] bois de la Ronce en la paroisse de Perey” by charter dated 2 Apr 1304[502].  Inquisitions following a writ dated “27 Sep 4 Edw II”, after the death of “Eleanor late the wife of Robert de Stutevill”, record “John, the son of Robert and Eleanor aged 27 [26 and more] is next heir” and includes land at Mitford, Northumberland “the said Eleanor and Alexander de Balliol were thereof enfeoffed by the late Queen Eleanor[503]

Père Anselme[603], Morandière[604], and Europäische Stammtafeln[605] all assume that the following brothers were sons of Samson d’Estouteville who is named above.  From a chronological point of view, an intervening generation seems likely: considering that the marriage of Samson’s older brother Henri Seigneur d’Estouteville can probably be dated to “before 1195” (see above), it seems unlikely that Samson’s sons would all still have been active in 1273 even if he was much younger than Henri.

Père Anselme names the following siblings as children of Guillaume Seigneur de Grousset and his wife Agnes de Pons[617].  The chronology suggests the possibility of an intervening generation. 

 

1.         ESTOUT [I] de GroussetSeigneur de GroussetEstout d’Estouteville.Grousset” received payment for serving in the French king’s army “sous la bataille...[du] duc de Normandie” at “Ost de Vironfosse, en Cambrésis”, while “son frère Pierre de Grousset, avec 4 écuyers, suit le duc en Touraine” [dated to the late 1330s?][618]m ALIX de Braquemont, daughter of RENAUD [I] Seigneur de Braquemont & his wife ---.  Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage[619]Morandière names her “Alix de Braquemont, d’une petite noblesse de la Vicomté d’Arques”, whose nephews were “l’amiral de Braquemont...et le Sire de Bethencourt, tous deux précurseurs de grandes navigations et rois des Canaries” (no sources cited)[620].  Estout [I] & his wife had two children: 

a)         ESTOUT [II] de Grousset dit Crochet .  Père Anselme records his parentage[621]Seigneur de Grousset

b)         AGNES de Grousset .  Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage[622]m BLANCHET Seigneur de Beschard, son of --. 

2.         PIERRE de Grousset (-after 1350).  “Estout d’Estouteville.Grousset” received payment for serving in the French king’s army “sous la bataille...[du] duc de Normandie” at “Ost de Vironfosse, en Cambrésis”, while “son frère Pierre de Grousset, avec 4 écuyers, suit le duc en Touraine” [dated to the late 1330s?][623].  Seigneur de Flainville.  “Pierre de Grousset seigneur de Flainville” was named in a muster-list dated 1350 (no source cited), Morandière noting that this was the last mention of the Grousset branch of the Estouteville family[624]

3.         JULIANE de GroussetPère Anselme records her parentage and marriage[625]Morandière names her husband “Guillaume seigneur de Monterolier, d’une famille Le Porc” (no source cited)[626]m GUILLAUME Seigneur de Monterollier, son of ---. 

 

 

Seigneur de Rames. 

 

RAOUL d’Estouteville, son of ROBERT [VI] Seigneur d’Estouteville & his wife Alix Bertrand (-Cocherel 1383).  Morandière names “Robert, Colart, Louis, Raoul, Henri” as Robert [V]’s sons by his second wife, noting that Robert and his mother, with his oldest brother, agreed the rights of his brothers and sisters in 1311, with Raoul receiving “la seigneurie...de Rames” (no source cited)[627].  Seigneur de Rames.  Morandière records that “Colard Seigneur d’Auzebosc et Raoul Seigneur de Rames, bachelier en la Compagnie de son cousin Robert Bertrand vicomte de Fauguernon” served in the French king’s army in Guyenne, dated to 1336 (no sources cited), noting in a later passage that “Raoul d’Estouteville-Rames et son oncle le Maréchal de Bricquebec” agreed to supply forces in a document dated 23 Mar 1339 at Rouen but were defeated 14 Jun 1340 at l’Ecluse, while Raoul founded a chapel in his castle at Rames after returning[628].  A charter dated 18 Dec 1351 granted “la garde de la terre à hoir d’Estouteville...à ce que le dit hoir soit en aage” to “monsieur Raoul d’Estouteville chevalier et Henry frères[629].  The marriage contract between "Roberti d’Estouteville domini de Vallemonte" and “Carolum dominum de Montemorenciaco...damoiselle Marguerite fille...”, dated Jan 1351 (O.S.), names “...monsieur Louys et monsieur Raoul d’Estouteville et Henry d’Estouteville” as his guarantors[630].  “M. de Rames” acknowledged receiving payments “pour le vivre de Robert et Colart d’Estouteville mes neveux” from [“Jehan du Garding, receveur de la terre d’Estouteville”] by charter dated 21 Jan 1353 (N.S.)[631].  Morandière records the death in 1383 of “le très vieux Sire de Rames” (no source cited)[632]

m as her second husband, MARGUERITE d’Harcourt, widow of ROBERT de Boulainvilliers Seigneur de Chepoy, daughter of [JEAN [IV] Seigneur d’Harcourt & his wife Isabelle de Parthenay].  Père Anselme states that Marguerite was daughter of Jean [II] Seigneur d’Harcourt & his wife Jeanne Vicomtesse de Châtellerault and records her marriages, but provides no source citation[633].  Considering the marriages of her second husband’s brothers dated 1352 and 1338, it is chronologically impossible for the wife of Raoul d’Estouteville to have been the daughter of Jean [II] d’Harcourt.  If Marguerite was a member of the Harcourt family, it is possible chronologically that she was the daughter of Jean [IV]. 

Raoul & his wife had [five] children: 

1.         ROBERT d’Estouteville (-killed in battle Cocherel 16 May 1364)  Père Anselme records his parentage, noting some details of his career[634].  Morandière records that “Robinet et Jean, fils de M. de Rames” became knights of Rhodes at Avignon, dated to [1361][635].  Seigneur de Rames.  Morandière records that “le fils aîné de Rames, Robert d’Estouteville sg de la Ramée et du Bosc-Achard” was killed at Cocherel 16 May 1364 (no source citation)[636]m MARGUERITE de Séricourt, daughter of RAOUL Seigneur de Séricourt & his wife --- (-after 1398).  Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage, noting that she “plaidoit étant veuve en 1398 contre Robert d’Esneval[637]

-        SEIGNEURS de RAMES[638]

2.         JEAN d’Estouteville .  Morandière records that “Robinet et Jean, fils de M. de Rames” became knights of Rhodes at Avignon, dated to [1361][639]

3.         PIERRE d’Estouteville (-after 29 Jan 1389).  Père Anselme records his parentage, noting he was “commis avec l’archévêque de Reims et Pierre de Chevreuse le 28 janvier 1388 [presumably O.S.], pour la réforme des abus survenus dans les jugements rendus en Languedod et de Guyenne[640]

4.         JEANNE d’Estouteville (-after 1391).  La Roque (citing “Monsieur le President Bigot en ses Memoires“) says that “Robert d’Estouteville Seigneur de Remmes” consented to “Jeanne d’Estouteville sa sœur fille de Raul d’Estouteville Seigneur de Remmes et femme de Jean de Harcourt Sire de Charentonne son beau-frere” retaining revenue from “la terre de Remmes” due under their marriage contract[641].  La Roque (citing “Registrum manuale placitorum et negociorum Scacarii Normanniæ“ dated [29 Sep] 1390 at Rouen) records “Pierre Mauvoisin escuier” claiming against the chapter of Evreux and “dame Jeanne d’Estouteville iadis femme de feu monsieur Jean de Harcourt chevalier[642].  La Roque (citing “Eschiquier de Pasques l’an 1391“) records “madame Jeanne d’Estouteville veufve de messire Jean de Harcourt jadis chevalier et dame de Charentonne, messire Jean Dacy dit petit Galois chevalier et heritier de messire Jean de Harcourt jadis chevalier[643]m JEAN d’Harcourt Seigneur de Charentonne, son of RAOUL [II] d’Harcourt Seigneur de Charentonne & his wife Eléonore [Jeanne?] de Sacquenville (-[1387/Sep 1390]). 

5.         [MATHILDE d’Estouteville .  The “Noble lignée de Hambie Painel” manuscript, published by La Roque, records the relationship between the Paynell/Hambye family and “au sire Baudran de la Heuze seigneur de Bailleul à cause des Bertrans 5o et à Monsieur du 3o[644].  Polonovski interprets the Bertrand connection by “Mahaud d’Estouteville”, daughter of Raoul d’Estouteville Seigneur de Rames, whose daughter was “Mahaud de Bailleul”, mother of “Jean dit le Baudran de La Heuze” (he does not name Mathilde’s husband)[645].  This information has not been verified.  m --- de Bailleul, son of ---.] 

 

 

Seigneurs d’Aussebosc [Aussebosc, now called Auzebosc, on the south-western outskirts of Yvetot]. 

 

COLARD [III] d’Estouteville, son of COLARD [II] Seigneur d’Estouteville & his wife Jeanne de la Tournelle ([1340/41?]-[4 Mar/9 Aug] 1399).  “M. de Rames” acknowledged receiving payments “pour le vivre de Robert et Colart d’Estouteville mes neveux” from [“Jehan du Garding, receveur de la terre d’Estouteville”] by charter dated 21 Jan 1353 (N.S.)[646].  Seigneur d’Aussebosc: Robert d’Estouteville granted “le fieu...à Auzebost...un tiers du fief de Saint-Jouyn, de la terre de Hotot certain portion à Lomerville, de la baronnie de Cleuville certaine portion à Roulleville (canton de Montivilliers)...1/4 de fief à Fresne-l’Espelant (canton de Boos), à Prestreval et à la Rue-Saint-Prévost (canton de Buchy)” to “messire Colard son frère” by charter dated [1356][647].  A document dated 21 May 1373 relates to the claim by "Nicolaum de Estoutevilla dominum de Ansebost militem" against “Hugonem de Montemorenciaco dominum de Bellosaltu” about “locum...Raulot et...Montemdesiderium et Mauuiller...ac feudi de Tornella” previously possessed by “defuncta Ioanna de Tornella mater dicti militis dum vivebat[648].  A document dated 21 May 1373 relates to the claim by "Nicolaum de Estoutevilla dominum de Ansebost militem" against “Hugonem de Montemorenciaco dominum de Bellosaltu” about “locum...Raulot et...Montemdesiderium et Mauuiller...ac feudi de Tornella” previously possessed by “defuncta Ioanna de Tornella mater dicti militis dum vivebat[649].  Père Anselme records sources dated 21 Oct 1364, 1371, 13 Nov 1379, and 3 Oct 1382 in which he was named[650].  Accounts in 1397 record “Jehan d’Estouteville chevalier fils et hoir de feu messire Robert, escuyer tranchant du Roi, capitaine de Caudebec, et Colard sg. d’Aussebosc son oncle[651].  “Jehan d’Estouteville seigneur de Valmont de Hotot et des Loges” confirmed his properties (listed), noting in particular the property held by “messire Colart d’Estouteville mon oncle”, by charter dated 4 Mar 1398 (O.S.)[652].  Morandière records his death "entre le 4 mars et le 9 août 1399"[653]

m firstly ([1375/80?]) JEANNE d’Auvrichet Dame de Turgoville, daughter of ROBERT Seigneur d’Auvrichet [Auvrecher] & his wife Jeanne de Préaux.  Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage (no sources cited)[654].  Assessing her birth and marriage dates with any confidence is difficult based on the limited sources available.  An indication is provided by La Chesnay Desbois who records that her brother Jean married in 1390[655].  Bearing in mind that the estimated birth date of the couple’s son Colart shown below, it seems likely that Colart [III] married his first wife around [1375/80]. 

m secondly (after 1380) YOLANDE de Nesle, daughter of GUY de Nesle Seigneur de Mello, Maréchal de France [Clermont] & his first wife Jeanne de Bruyères ([1343/50]-)Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage (no source citations)[656].  The primary sources which confirm this information have not been identified.  If the reported parentage is correct, Yolande would have been over 30 when she married, which seems surprising.  Could she have belonged to a later generation or another branch of the Nesle family? 

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

1.         COLART [IV] d’Estouteville ([after 1380?]-[1411/15]).  His birth date is suggested from his being a minor in 1399 but presumably adult when he married in 1401.  A charter dated 19 Aug 1399 records "Colart d’Estouteville esc...moindre d’ans" and “Jehan Sire de Vallemont” making payments on his behalf[657].  Père Anselme records a dispute between “Robinet de Bologne dit le Tyran, au nom de sa femme” and “Colart d’Estouteville” in 1402[658].  Morandière records that Colard "Capitaine de Pont de l’Arche" borrowed from “un bourgeois de cette ville Simon Lempérière, un ayeul des femmes des deux Corneille, et à Humphrey Bosc de Rouen” in 1405 (citing “Tabellionage de Rouen”), in 1409 mortgaged and later sold “son fief de Saint-Jouyn à messire Guy Malet de Graville” (no source cited), in 1410 sold revenue to “Philippe de Harcourt” and in 1411 to “maistre Pierre de la Garde, notaire et secrétaire du roi” (citing “Arch. de Valmont”)[659].  Morandière records his death "avant 1415, ne laissant qu’un bâtard" (no sources cited)[660]m (1401) as her second husband, JEANNE de Trie, widow of JEAN de Nesle Seigneur de Saint-Venant, daughter of MATHIEU de Trie Seigneur de Serifontaine & his second wife Jeanne de la Roche-Guyon.  Père Anselme records her parentage and two marriages, noting that her first husband died “au voyage de Hongrie en 1396” (no sources cited)[661].  Morandière records her parentage and two marriages, stating that her first husband died at Nikopolis (no sources cited)[662].  Colart [IV] had one illegitimate child by an unknown mistress: 

a)         ROBERT bâtard d’Aussebosc (-after Feb 1418).  Morandière names "Colibeaux sg de Criquebeuf et Jean son frère, et Robert bastard d’Auzebosc" as three members of the Estouteville family present attacking “Tumbelaine” (captured by the English) in Feb 1417 (O.S.) (source unclear)[663]

2.         JEANNE d’Estouteville (-[after 1455]).  Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage, noting a source dated 1455 in which she was named as a widow (no source citations)[664].  This date seems late for consistency with her supposed parentage.  m ROGER Seigneur de Normanville et de Hardouville, son of ---. 

Colart [II] & his second wife had six children: 

3.         JEAN d’Estouteville (-after 1437, bur Paris Augustins).  Père Anselme records his parentage, noting that he was knighted 1437 by the king and died childless (no source citations)[665].  Seigneur de Lamerville.  m ANTOINETTE de Trie, daughter of [JACQUES de Trie Seigneur de Roulleboise & his wife ---]. 

4.         ROBERT d’Estouteville .  Père Anselme records his parentage, noting that he was knighted 1437 by the king (no source citations)[666].  Seigneur de Berneval.  Morandière identifies this place as "une terre voisine de Saint-Jouyn, et formant ensemble la baronnie de Bruneval"[667]m ---.  Père Anselme records that Robert married, as her second husband, Marie de Roye, daughter of Mathieu de Roye Seigneur de Roye & his first wife Margareta van Gistel[668].  This suggested marriage appears impossible considering the contract dated 11 Nov 1422 for her marriage to Pierre [III] d’Orgemont Seigneur de Chantilly, and her husband’s death in 1492 (assuming that all these dates are correct).  Robinet & his wife had one child: 

a)         JEAN d’Estouteville .  Père Anselme records his parentage (no sources cited)[669].  Seigneur de Berneval et de Guerchy. 

5.         JACQUELINE d’Estouteville .  Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage, noting that her husband swore homage 16 Feb 1469 (O.S.?) for “[les] terres de S. Denis et de Houdelemoir en la châtellenie de Mortemer” (no source citations)[670]m JEAN de Saint-Rémy dit le Galois, son of --- (-after 16 Feb 1469). 

6.         GUILLEMETTE d’Estouteville .  Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage, noting that her husband swore homage 16 Sep 1461 for “la terre du Bosc-Guillaume au vicomté d’Arques” (no source citations)[671]m COLART Seigneur de Chevreuse, son of --- (-after 16 Sep 1461). 

7.         AGNES d’Estouteville .  Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage (no sources cited)[672]m COLIN Giffart Seigneur de Saint-Victor [au Perche], son of ---. 

8.         JEANNE d’Estouteville .  Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage, noting that her husband was “capitaine du château de Corbeil” (no sources cited)[673]m VALENTIN de la Roque, son of ---. 

 

 

 

C.      ESTOUTEVILLE, SEIGNEURS de TORCY

 

 

Morandière suggests that Torcy was “situé sur la Varenne, une des trois rivières formant la rivière d’Arques” and was brought to the Estouteville family by Mathilde d’Eu, wife of Henri Seigneur d’Estouteville, who donated revenue "à prendre sur le moulin de maritagii mei de Torcy" to Valmont by charter dated 1212 (no source citation)[674].  He also comments that “on a dit qu’[Estout d’Estouteville] tenait ce fief de sa femme” (he does not specify who was “on”), adding that, while she may have brought part of the fief to her husband, a part must have derived from Mathilde. 

 

 

The primary source which confirms the parentage of Estout d’Estouteville Seigneur de Torcy has not been identified.  Morandière identifies him as the son of Jean [I] Seigneur d’Estouteville, but the sources cited above show Jean’s son Estout with a different family.  Père Anselme says that he was the son of Robert [VI] d’Estouteville & his wife Alice Bertrand[675], which if correct would place his birth in the late 1280s/1290s which seems incompatible with his mention with his wife in 1296.  The possibility which fits the chronology best is that he was an unrecorded younger son of Robert [V] Seigneur d’Estouteville by his first wife Jeanne.

 

ESTOUT d’Estouteville, son of --- (-after 1316)Seigneur de Torcy.  Estout d’Estouteville and “Maheut dame de Torchy fame et compaigne du dit mon seigneur Estout” agreed with the priory of Longueville about land held by a vassal by charter dated 4 Nov 1296[676].  Père Anselme says that Estout was recorded “avec son frère aîné” (unclear to whom Anselme refers, considering the confusion in his reconstruction of the Estouteville family) in “deux arrêts de l’Echiquier des années 1302 et 1303[677].  Morandière records that he was named in a register of the archbishopric of Rouen dated 1316[678]

m [firstly] (before 4 Nov 1296) MATHILDE, daughter of ---.  Estout and “Maheut dame de Torchy fame et compaigne du dit mon seigneur Estout” agreed with the priory of Longueville about land held by a vassal by charter dated 4 Nov 1296[679].  It is unclear whether Mathilde was named “dame de Torchy” because she was married to Estout or because she brought Torcy to her husband on their marriage. 

[m [secondly?] (after 1296) ALIX de Meulan, daughter of [AMAURY [IV] de Meulan Seigneur de la Queue-en-Brie & his wife ---] (-after 1327).  Père Anselme records her marriage, saying that Alix was the daughter of Amaury [III] de Meulan and his wife Marguerite de Neufbourg[680].  That suggestion would be consistent with her husband being the son of Jean [I] d’Estouteville which, as indicated above, appears to be incorrect.  If the wife of Estout d’Estouteville was a member of the Meulan family, the chronology suggests that she would have been the daughter of Amaury [IV].  The 4 Nov 1296 source cited above, naming Estout’s wife Mathilde, indicates that Alix would have been Estout’s second wife.  No primary source has been found which confirms Alix’s family origin and marriage.  It should be noted that Anselme’s reconstruction of the Estouteville family is unreliable, while in addition there is considerable uncertainty about the reconstruction of the Meulan family.  Until more information comes to light, it is suggested that Alix should be treated with caution.  Morandière records that Alix was still living in 1327 (no source cited)[681].] 

 

Reconstruction of the generations of the Estouteville-Torcy family after Estout is open to doubt.  Père Anselme names the following supposed [four] siblings (no primary source has emerged to confirm their sibling relationship) as children of Estout and his wife Alix de Meulan[682].  Considering the dates of the few sources in which they are named, an intervening generation seems likely.  In addition, considering the existence of Mathilde, first wife of Estout, it is uncertain from which marriage these supposed siblings would have descended.  This suggestion appears supported by the confusion relating to Jean d’Estouteville Seigneur de Torcy which is discussed below.  Another difficulty is indicated by the “Noble lignée de Hambie Painel” manuscript, published by La Roque, which records a relationship between the Paynell/Hambye family and “Monsieur de Blainville, Estouteville fils de Monsieur de Torchy à cause des Bertrans, et à cause de son pere et de son ayeulle par sa mere, qui fut fille de Monsieur Jean Mallet seigneur de Graville est du 6o degré, et Monsieur du 4o[683].  “Monsieur de Blainville” is Charles, son of Colart d’Estouteville Seigneur de Torcy (see below).  The passage therefore indicates that Colart was descended from the Bertrand family.  Polonovski suggests that the descent was through Alix de Meulan who was supposedly related to Alix de Tancarville, wife of Robert [VI] Bertrand[684].  However, as can be seen in the reconstructions elsewhere in Medieval Lands of the Meulan (NORMANDY NOBILITY-ALENÇON, EVREUX, MEULAN, PERCHE), Bertrand (NORMANDY NOBILITY-AVRANCHES, BAYEUX, COTENTIN) and Tancarville (the present document) families, the ancestry of Alix de Meulan is far from clear and even her supposed Estouteville marriage is unconfirmed.  In addition, other wives of the Estouteville/Torcy line are uncertain (Mathilde [first] wife of Estout, [Jeanne] [de Fiennes] supposed wife of Jean, and an unknown wife of an unknown Estouteville in case of a missing generation as suggested above): the verified wives of any one of these individuals could have been connected with the Bertrand family[685]

 

1.         ROBERT d’Estouteville (-1376).  Père Anselme names him “Robert d’Estouteville seigneur d’Estoutemont” and records his lawsuit “en l’Echiquier de Normandie l’an 1376 contre Jean seigneur de la Heuse[686]Europäische Stammtafeln adds the date “1345” in relation to Robert (the corresponding source has not been identified)[687]Morandière records his death in 1376 during the lawsuit[688]

 

2.         JEAN d’Estouteville (-[killed in battle Poitiers 19 Sep 1356, [1361/20 Mar 1362], or after Jan 1379]).  Resolution of the confusion about Jean, explained below, must await the emergence of more primary source documentation.  Seigneur de Torcy: Père Anselme names him “Jean d’Estouteville seigneur de Torcy et d’Estoutemont”, noting that he was rewarded for serving in the army in 1349 and 1350 by revenue granted by “le maréchal de Blainville” for which he swore homage in Jan 1378 (O.S.)[689].  This statement suggests the possibility of two persons named Jean, maybe father and son, the son’s homage being required after his father died.  Europäische Stammtafeln says that Jean was killed 18 Sep 1356 at Poitiers[690], adding to the confusion.  Morandière says that “les deux Torcy père et fils Jean et Colard, et Louis sg. du Bouchet” left on crusade, dated to [1361][691], while the 20 Mar 1361 (O.S.?) charter, cited below, which names “Colard d’Estouteville sg de Torchie...” suggests that Colart’s father was deceased at that time[692]m [([1351?]) [JEANNE [de Fiennes], daughter of ---].  There is considerable confusion about Jean’s wife: no primary source has been identified in which she is named.  Père Anselme names “Jeanne de Fiennes fille de Jean de Fiennes et d’Isabelle de Flandres” as the wife of Jean d’Estouteville Seigneur de Torcy, noting that “des mémoires [not specified] portent qu’elle fut mariée vers l’an 1351[693].  In another passage, Anselme says that “on ajoute pour fille de Jean baron de Fiennes, Jeanne de Fiennes, qu’on donne pour femme, mais sans en rapporter de preuves, à Jean d’Estouteville seigneur de Torcy[694].  “[1351]” seems unlikely for her marriage date in light of the references to her son Colart in 1361/62 (see below).  If the date is correct, Jeanne is unlikely to have been the daughter of Jean de Fiennes/Isabelle de Flandre, whose marriage is dated to “after 1307”.  The uncertainty is increased by the possibility of two persons named Jean Seigneur de Torcy, as noted above.  It is suggested that “Jeanne de Fiennes” should be treated with considerable caution until more source material emerges.]  Jean & his wife had twelve children: 

a)         COLART d’Estouteville (-killed in battle Azincourt 25 Oct 1415).  Père Anselme records his parentage[695]Seigneur de Torcy, d’Estoutemont et de Beyne. 

-        see below

b)         THOMAS d’Estouteville (-Paris 22 Mar 1395, bur Beauvais).  Père Anselme records his parentage, noting sources dated between 1382 and 1386 in which he was named[696].  Bishop of Beauvais Apr 1389.  Père Anselme records his testament dated 11 Mar 1394 (O.S.), his death on the same day, and his place of burial[697]Europäische Stammtafeln records his place of death[698]

c)         JEAN d’Estouteville (-after 1 Feb 1417).  Seigneur de Charlemesnil, de Croisy, de Saint-Germain, d’Estoutemont et d’Osmonville.  Père Anselme records his parentage, noting his testament dated 1 Nov 1416 and his place of burial[699]

d)         GUILLAUME d’Estouteville (-10 Jan 1414, bur Lisieux).  Père Anselme records his parentage, noting his testament dated 21 Dec 1414, date of death and place of burial[700].  Bishop of Evreux 1374.  Bishop of Lisieux. 

e)         ESTOUT d’Estouteville (-after 18 Oct 1422).  Père Anselme records his parentage, noting his testament dated 18 Oct 1422 and that he survived all his brothers[701].  Abbé de Fécamp, du Bec et de Cérisy. 

f)          RAOUL d’Estouteville (-1404 or before).  Père Anselme records his parentage, noting that “[il] étoit mort en 1404[702]

g)         THOMIN d’Estouteville (-after 1400).  Père Anselme records his parentage, noting that he was “archdiacre du petit Caux en l’église de Rouen ès années 1386 et 1400, fut aussi maître des requêtes[703]

h)         ROBERT d’Estouteville (-after 1403).  Père Anselme records his parentage, noting that he was “archdiacre de Neufbourg, chanoine d’Evreux…15 janvier 1381 et 17 avril 1390…maître des requêtes en 1403[704]

i)          JEANNET d’Estouteville (-after 1412).  Père Anselme records his parentage and some details about his career[705]Seigneur de Villebon. 

-        SEIGNEURS de VILLEBON[706]

j)          GILLES d’Estouteville (-1408).  Père Anselme records his parentage, noting that he was “archdiacre d’Eu et chanoine de Rouen après Raoul son frère…chantre et chanoine de l’église d’Angers et maître des requêtes en 1390”, that his testament was dated 29 Jul 1404 and that he died in 1408[707]

l)          JEANNE d’Estouteville Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage, noting that she died childless (no sources cited)[710]Morandière says that her husband was “un parvenu...dont la famille n’a rien à voir avec la seigneurie de la ville de Chartres[711]m as his first wife, HECTOR de Chartres Seigneur d’Ons-en-Bray, Baron du Chesne-Doré, son of JEAN de Chartres & his wife Marie de l’Etendart (-Paris 1418).

COLART d’Estouteville, son of JEAN d’Estouteville Seigneur de Torcy et d’Estoutemont & his wife [Jeanne] [de Fiennes] (-killed in battle Azincourt 25 Oct 1415).  Père Anselme records his parentage, noting sources dated 13 Aug 1364, 1 Sep 1374, 30 Jan 1377, 30 Apr 1378, 20 May 1379, 29 Sep 1386, 13 Aug 1388, 6 Jul 1390, 13 Jun 1391, 7 Jan 1403, 10 Mar 1404, 17 Jul 1407, and 27 Jul 1415 in which he was named, adding that he died before 1416[717]Morandière records that “les deux Torcy père et fils Jean et Colard, et Louis sg. du Bouchet” left on crusade, dated to [1361][718]Seigneur de Torcy, d’Estoutemont et de Beyne.  Colard d’Estouteville sg de Torchie, capitaine de Chierbourc, conseiller et chambellan du Roi” acknowledged receipt of payments relating to Cherbourg by charter dated 20 Mar 1361 (O.S.?) (no source citation)[719].  A document dated 1401 records the dispute between "cambellanus noster Ioannes dominus de Ferreriis miles et Margareta de Haricuria eius uxor" against “Hugonem de Montemorenciaco militem dominum de Bellosaltu et Ioannam de Haricuria eius uxorem et Colardum de Estoutevilla dominum de Torciaco et de Beina” concerning the succession of “defunctæ Mariæ de Haricuria uxoris dicti Colardi sororis uxorum dictorum militum” who had shared the succession of “defuncti Guillelmi de Haricuria militis dominis de Feritate Imbaudi[720].  Morandière records that “M. de Torcy mourut en la male journée d’Agincourt, avec son fils Charles, son gendre d’Auxy et son beau-frère Hector de Chartres[721]

m firstly ([1372]) BLANCHE de Mauquenchy Dame de Blainville, daughter of JEAN de Mauquenchy dit Mouton Seigneur de Blainville, Maréchal de France & his wife Jeanne Malet de Graville ([1355?]-[1390?]).  Morandière names “Madame Blanche de Blainville”, recorded in “le missel de la chapelle du château de Blainville” daughter of “le Maréchal Mouton...Jean de Mauquenchy...sa mère est Malet de Graville”, as wife of “M. de Torcy” and records the death of her brother in 1369 (no source citations)[722]Père Anselme records her parentage (naming her “Jeanne”), specifying in one passage that she “étoit mariée dès l’an 1372” (no source cited)[723]Her parentage is indicated by the “Noble lignée de Hambie Painel” manuscript, published by La Roque, which records a relationship between the Paynell/Hambye family and “Monsieur de Blainville, Estouteville fils de Monsieur de Torchy à cause des Bertrans, et à cause de son pere et de son ayeulle par sa mere, qui fut fille de Monsieur Jean Mallet seigneur de Graville est du 6o degré, et Monsieur du 4o[724].  The date of her death is not known.  Morandière concludes that the document dated 3 Feb 1392 (O.S.?), cited below under her son Charles which relates to his inheritance from her father, means that “Madame de Torcy était donc morte[725].  This seems a reasonable conclusion, although she may have died many years before her father. 

[m [secondly?] ([1380/85?]) --- Crespin, daughter of [GUILLAUME [VIII] Crespin Baron de Mayny et du Bec-Crespin & his [first wife ---]] ([1365/70?]-[before 1390?]).  Her possible parentage and marriage are indicated by the “Noble lignée de Hambie Painel” manuscript, published by La Roque, which records a relationship between the Paynell/Hambye family and “Monsieur d’Estouteville Baron de Torchy et à ses filles à cause de leur premere qui fut fille de Monsieur Guillaume Crespin Baron du Bec, Crespin qui issit de noble Dame Jeanne Bertran Dame de Thury et Monsieur de Hambie au 5o degré, et les Bertrans et ledit de Torchy au sixième degré[726].  This passage presents several difficulties[727]

a.   Identifying the “Baron de Torchy”.  Polanovski dates the original composition of the “Noble lignée” to 1397, while La Roque dates the published version to 1493[728].  At first sight therefore, this discrepancy may suggest that it was a “living” document, updated over time.  However, reading all the entries in the “Noble lignée” indicates that all the family links are made with Guillaume de Paynell Seigneur de Hambye who died [7 Jul 1401/24 Sep 1402] (see the document NORMANDY NOBILITY-AVRANCHES, BAYEUX, COTENTIN).  If that is correct, the Baron de Torchy” was Colart.  This conclusion appears supported by another paragraph in the “Noble lignée” which refers to the ancestry of Colart’s son Charles (quoted above under Colart’s first wife) which names his father Monsieur de Torchy”, suggesting that he was still alive.  Incidentally, Polanovski identifies the “Baron” as Guillaume, son of Colart (see below), but the chronology of Guillaume’s known wives and children does not appear to permit the addition of a Crespin wife[729]

b.   Identifying “ses filles”.  As can be seen below, Colart is recorded with four known daughters.  No precise information on the dates of their marriages has yet been found, but it is a reasonable assumption that they all married in the 1390s/early 1400s.  They were therefore born in [1375/90].  Colart’s two known sons were born in [1373] and [1379].  It is possible therefore that the older daughters were born from his first marriage, between the births of the two sons.  It is also possible that Colart’s first wife died in the early 1380s (the date of her death is not known, see above) and that he married a Crespin wife by whom he had more daughters.  As the passage quoted above specifies only Colart’s daughters, it is assumed that the daughters in question did not share the same mother with his sons. 

c.   The meaning of “leur premere”.  The chronology of the Crespin family suggests that the term simply meant “mère”, although it is not impossible that it signifies a more distant ancestor (in line with English “forefather”).  Other possibilities include “pre-“ being a mistranscription of “feu” (“fut” indicates that she was deceased at the time), or even that the prefix was simply an error. 

d.   The degrees of consanguinity.  It is suggested that interpreting these degrees too precisely in the “Noble lignée” is unsafe.  Five or six degrees would have required personal knowledge, as well as documentary proof for the earlier generations, stretching over nearly 150 years.  It is uncertain whether accuracy over such a long time can be guaranteed.  In any case, it is doubtful whether the precise descents in the Bertrand and Crespin families can be reconstructed with confidence considering the number of unknown factors in their ancestries which are highlighted elsewhere. 

While a firm conclusion is impossible, the most likely explanation for the “Noble lignée” is that Colart married a member of the Crespin family before he married Marie d’Harcourt and had daughters by her.  This conclusion assumes that the text of the “Noble lignée” is accurate: the possibility of some errors in the document cannot be excluded.] 

m [thirdly] (after 1390) as her second husband, MARIE d’Harcourt, widow of LOUIS de Brosse Seigneur de Sainte-Sévère et de Boussac, daughter of GUILLAUME d’Harcourt Seigneur de la Ferté-Imbault & his first wife Blanche de Bray (-before 1401).  Père Anselme records her parentage and first marriage (no sources cited)[730]A document dated 1401 relates to the claim made by "Petronilla de Villaribus domina de Feritate Imbaudi relicta defuncti Guillelmi de Haricuria quondam militis et domini dicti loci" against “Hugonem de Montemorenciaco dominum de Bellosaltu et Ioannem dominum de Ferreriis milites, necnon Colardum de Estouteville ad causam uxorum suarum heredum dicti defuncti Guillelmi de Haricuria Maria de Haricuria uxor dicti Colardi defuncta[731]

Colart & his first wife had two children: 

1.         CHARLES d’Estouteville ([1373]-[1407] or killed in battle Azincourt 25 Oct 1415).  Seigneur de Blainville.  Père Anselme records his parentage, noting that he was “premier pannetier du Dauphin en 1399” and that he died in [1407][732]Europäische Stammtafeln indicates his birth in 1373, notes that he was captured in 1396 at Nikopolis, and was killed at Azincourt 25 Oct 1415[733]A document dated 3 Feb 1392 (O.S.?) granted “bail de la garde de Monsieur Charles d’Estouteville chevalier, de l’aage de 18 ans environ, fils de Colart d’Estouteville, séneschal de Toulouse” and the lands he inherited by “le trespassement de feu Mgr. Mouton de Blainville jadis maréchal de France[734].  Morandière suggests that Charles may have been one of the French nobles who disappeared after their capture at Nikopolis (which may account for Anselme’s report of his death in [1407]), citing documents dated 1411 in which his brother Guillaume is associated with the seigneurie de Blainville, only to re-emerge in the following report[735].  A document dated 4 Aug 1415 records “messire Louys d’Estouteville chevalier banneret” at the French attack on Harfleur with “ses cousins...les deux fils de Torcy Charles sgr de Blainville et son cadet Guillaume[736].  Morandière records that “M. de Torcy mourut en la male journée d’Agincourt, avec son fils Charles, son gendre d’Auxy et son beau-frère Hector de Chartres[737]m as her first husband, JACQUELINE de Chambly, daughter of JEAN de Chambly dit le Haze & his wife Jeanne de la Rocheguyon (-6 May 1418).  Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage, noting that the couple were childless[738]Europäische Stammtafeln indicates that she married secondly “Guy V Sire de la Roche-Guyon”[739].  A document dated 6 May 1418 issued by the English king relates to her revenue sur la Vicomté de l’Eau de Rouen qu’elle avait de son héritage[740]

2.         GUILLAUME d’Estouteville ([1379]-19 Nov 1449, bur Torcy)Père Anselme records his parentage, his date of death and place of burial, noting documents dated 1406, 1416 and 1419 in which he was named (no source citations)[741]Europäische Stammtafeln indicates his birth in 1379[742].  As noted above, documents dated 1411 record Guillaume as Seigneur de Blainville, in the absence of his brother Charles.  A document dated 4 Aug 1415 records “messire Louys d’Estouteville chevalier banneret” at Harfleur with “ses cousins...les deux fils de Torcy Charles sgr de Blainville et son cadet Guillaume[743]Seigneur de Torcy, de Blainville, d’Estoutemont et de Beyne.  Grand-maître et général réformateur des eaux et forêts de France.  m firstly (1400) MARIE de Chalon Dame de Laignes et de Grisselles, daughter of LOUIS [I] d’Auxerre “le chevalier vert” Comte de Tonnerre & his first wife Marie de Parthenay (-[1400/03?]).  Europäische Stammtafeln records her parentage and marriage[744].  The primary source which confirms the information has not been found.  She is not mentioned by Père Anselme.  m secondly ([1403?]) as her second husband, JEANNE de Doudeauville Dame de Garences, de Ponches, de Nouvion et de Caumartin, widow of RAOUL de Raineval, daughter of JEAN “Mansart” du Bois Seigneur de Raincheval [Fiennes] & his wife Jeanne de Créquy ([1380/85?]-[after 14 Feb 1451?]).  Père Anselme records her parentage and two marriages[745].  Her Bois/Fiennes family origin is confirmed by the 4 Jul 1444 marriage contract of her daughter Jeanne, cited below.  The age of her son Colart recorded in 1420 suggests the date of her marriage.  A register of the Parlement de Paris dated 1404 records a lawsuit brought by Guillelmus de Estoutevilla dominus de Blainvilla ac Joanna de Dondeauvilla eius uxor” against “Nicolaum de Dondeauvilla dictum Gadifer scutiferum”, relating to the successions following the death 30 Nov 1343 of “defunctus Ioannes dominus de Dondeauvilla” leaving children “Ioannem, Nicolaum supradictum, Balduinum et Joannem dictum Gauvain” and the death 26 Apr 1383 of “Joannes de Dondeauvilla miles primogenitus” leaving “Joanna supradicta filia eius sola”, noting that the latter married firstly “Radulpho de Raineval filio Walerandi de Raineval militis” by whom she had an only son who died “post patrem in minori ætate” and secondly “Guillelmo præfato[746]Europäische Stammtafeln records that she died “1449[747]However, a charter dated 2 Feb 1450 (O.S.?), connected with the marriage contract of her daughter Michelle, records promises made feu Messire Guillaume d’Estouteville son…pere et par Madame sa mere, soit par lez de testament ou autrement[748], in which her mother is not “feue”, in contrast to her father, suggesting that she may have been living at the time.  Guillaume & his second wife had nine children:

a)         COLART d’Estouteville ([1404?]-[11 Aug 1420/Jul 1427] or [after 1467?]).  Charles VI King of France granted protection at the request of “Colinet d’Estouteville âgé de 16 ans, Jeannin et Michelle, enfants de Guillaume d’Estouteville et de Jeanne de Dodyaville”, because “leur père et mère sont sous la sujétion du Roi d’Angleterre, à cause qu’il a occupé la Normandie”, by order dated 11 Aug 1420[749]Europäische Stammtafeln shows the date “1467” in connection with Colart[750].  His failure to succeed his father as seigneur de Torcy suggests either that this date is incorrect (and that he predeceased his father) or that he was, for some unascertained reason, excluded from the succession.  Those suggestions appear corroborated by his absence from the Jul 1427 charter quoted below under his brother Jean and Jean being named “filz ainsné” in the 1456 source cited below. 

b)         JEAN d’Estouteville ([1405]-Blainville 11 Nov 1494, bur Blainville).  Charles VI King of France granted protection at the request of “Colinet d’Estouteville âgé de 16 ans, Jeannin et Michelle, enfants de Guillaume d’Estouteville et de Jeanne de Dodyaville”, because “leur père et mère sont sous la sujétion du Roi d’Angleterre, à cause qu’il a occupé la Normandie”, by order dated 11 Aug 1420[751].  Henry VI King of England soy disant Roy de France” granted their father’s lands to “Jean d’Estouteville escuyer âgé de XVII ans ou environ, pour et au nom de luy et de Estot, Robert, Michele et Jeannette d’Estouteville ses freres et seurs mainsnez de luy, tous enfans legitimes de Guillaume d’Estouteville chevalier n’agaire Seigneur de Torcy et de Jeanne de Dondeauville sa femme”, in rebellion, including lands inherited after the death of “Ysabelle d’Estouteville en son vivant vidamesse de Chartres, tante dudit Jean d’Estouteville”, by charter dated Jul 1427[752]Seigneur de Torcy, de Blainville et de Doudeauville.  Père Anselme records documents dated 1422 (when 17 years old), 1436, 1439, 1444, 29 May 1446, 1449 (appointment as Maître des Arbalestriers), 1450, 1 Jul 1455, 1456, 1461, 1464, 1466, 14 Jan 1471, 16 Jan 1472, 2 Dec 1474, 1475, 7 Sep 1476, 1479, 1485, and 1488 in which he was named[753]He entered the 22 Jan 1450 (O.S.?) marriage contract of his sister Michelle, quoted below.  Jean “filz ainsné et héritier principal de feu monsgr messre Guille Destouteville” ceded Beyne to his brother Robert by charter dated 1456[754]Europäische Stammtafeln records his testament dated 5 Jan 1489, date of death, and place of burial[755]m FRANÇOISE de la Rochefoucaud Dame de Montbazon, daughter of AYMAR de la Rochefoucaud Seigneur de Montbazon, de Sainte-Maure et de Nouâtre & his wife Jeanne de Martreuil.  Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage (no sources cited)[756].  Jean & his wife had one child: 

i)          LOUIS d’Estouteville (-before 1489).  Père Anselme records his parentage, his fiefs for which he swore homage in 1461, and his death before his father (no sources cited)[757]Europäische Stammtafeln records his death “1489[758]

Jean had [two] illegitimate children by unknown mistresses: 

ii)          HENRI bâtard d’Estouteville (-after Jan 1505).  Père Anselme records his parentage and legitimation Jan 1504 (O.S.?) (no sources cited)[759]

iii)         HECTOR bâtard de Torcy (-after 1500).  Père Anselme records his parentage (suggesting that he may have been the same person as Henri who is named above), and his claim (as Seigneur de Caumartin) against his cousins Jossine, Jeanne and Jacqueline d’Estouteville [daughters of his paternal uncle Estout, see below] in 1499 for property granted by his father, which he won in 1500 (no sources cited)[760]

c)         MICHELLE d’Estouteville (-[31 May 1476/1480])Charles VI King of France granted protection at the request of “Colinet d’Estouteville âgé de 16 ans, Jeannin et Michelle, enfants de Guillaume d’Estouteville et de Jeanne de Dodyaville”, because “leur père et mère sont sous la sujétion du Roi d’Angleterre, à cause qu’il a occupé la Normandie”, by order dated 11 Aug 1420[761].  Henry VI King of England soy disant Roy de France” granted their father’s lands to “Jean d’Estouteville escuyer…pour et au nom de luy et de Estot, Robert, Michele et Jeannette d’Estouteville ses freres et seurs mainsnez de luy, tous enfans legitimes de Guillaume d’Estouteville chevalier n’agaire Seigneur de Torcy et de Jeanne de Dondeauville sa femme[762]The marriage contract between Monseigneyr Jehan d’Estouteville chevalier Seigneur de Torcy et de Bleinville…Michielle d’Estouteville fille de feu…Guillaume d’Estouteville en son vivant chevalier Seigneur dudit Torcy et de…Jehanne de Doudeauville iadis sa femme, et seur dudit…Jehan…” and “Robert de Bethune chevalier Seigneur de Mareuil en Brie, de Baye et d’Ostel…” is dated 22 Jan 1450 (O.S.?), in the presence of “Monseigneur Estoud d’Estouteville chevalier Seigneur de Beaumont et Chastellain de Beauvais et…Robert d’Estouteville chevalier Seigneur de Beyne Baron d’Yvry…freres dudit…Jehan…et de ladite…Michielle[763]The date of her marriage contract is late considering her mention in 1420.  Maybe the earlier Michelle died and was replaced by another daughter born after 1420 who was given the same name.  A charter of Andecies abbey near Baye dated 31 May 1476 names defunctus Robertus de Bethuna dominus de Baye, domina Michaela d’Estouteville eius relicta, ballum liberorum suorum, et Ioannes de Bethuna filius eius primogenitus[764]Europäische Stammtafeln records her death before 1480[765]m (contract 22 Jan [1451]) ROBERT de Béthune Seigneur de Mareuil, son of JEAN de Béthune Seigneur de Locres et de Mareuil & his wife Isabelle d’Estouteville (-[1471/31 May 1476]). 

d)         GUILLAUME d’Estouteville (-after Apr 1449).  Père Anselme records his parentage, as second son (although his failure to succeed his father suggests that this birth order is incorrect), and his date of death (no sources cited)[766].  His absence from the 11 Aug 1420 document which names his two brothers suggests that Guillaume was younger and was maybe a child at the time.  He was also absent from the Jul 1427 charter quoted under his brother Jean, which suggests some sort of exclusion from the family succession. 

e)         ESTOUT d’Estouteville (-13 Dec 1476, bur Charlemesnil Sainte-Catherine).  Henry VI King of England soy disant Roy de France” granted their father’s lands to “Jean d’Estouteville escuyer…pour et au nom de luy et de Estot, Robert, Michele et Jeannette d’Estouteville ses freres et seurs mainsnez de luy, tous enfans legitimes de Guillaume d’Estouteville chevalier n’agaire Seigneur de Torcy et de Jeanne de Dondeauville sa femme[767]Seigneur de Beaumont-le-Charlit, de Miermagne et de Ferrières [part], Châtelain de Beauvais.  The marriage contract between [his sister] Monseigneyr Jehan d’Estouteville chevalier Seigneur de Torcy et de Bleinville…Michielle d’Estouteville…” and “Robert de Bethune…” is dated 22 Jan 1450 (O.S.?), in the presence of “Monseigneur Estoud d’Estouteville chevalier Seigneur de Beaumont et Chastellain de Beauvais et…Robert d’Estouteville chevalier Seigneur de Beyne Baron d’Yvry…freres dudit…Jehan…et de ladite…Michielle[768]Europäische Stammtafeln records his testament dated 13 Dec 1476 and place of burial[769]Père Anselme records his testament dated 11 Dec 1476, which requested his burial at Sainte Catherine de Charlemesnil, provided money for the marriage of his daughter Jacqueline, and bequests to his wife, his codicil dated 12 Dec 1476, and his death 13 Dec 1476[770]m (before 1 Dec 1456) as her second husband, BONNE de Herbannes, widow of JEAN d’Utkerque, daughter of --- (-[11 Dec 1476/11 Sep 1498]).  Père Anselme records her family origin and marriage, noting that she received bequests under her husband’s 11 Dec 1476 testament[771]Europäische Stammtafeln records her first marriage and the dates of her second marriage and death[772].  Estout & his wife had three children:

The town of Gournay was located in the eastern part of the duchy of Normandy, in the area known as "le pays de Bray", separated from the domaine royale by the river Epte.  Gurney records that "the local tradition states that" the town and adjacent territory was assigned by the Norman leader Rollo to one of his followers named Eudes but he does not cite a corresponding primary source[879].  His descendants remained as direct vassals of the dukes of Normandy and erected fortifications at Gournay itself, La Ferté, Gaillefontaine and Argueil.  In [1078], Hugues de Gournay conquered twenty-four parishes on the left bank of the Epte in the Beauvaisis, in respect of which he was the vassal of the king of France[880].  The relationship, if any, between the following family and the Gournay family in England (see UNTITLED ENGLISH NOBILITY D-K) has not been ascertained. 

 

 

1.         [EUDES .  According to Gurney, the town of Gournay and adjacent land were granted by Rollo to Eudes, in 912, but he adds in a later passage that the existence of Eudes and his supposed son Hugues "is a matter of tradition" and that there is no surviving contemporary document in which they are named[881]m ---.  The name of Eudes’s wife is not known.  Eudes & his wife had one child:] 

a)         [HUGUES de Gournay .  According to Gurney, the existence of Eudes and his supposed son Hugues "is a matter of tradition" and no contemporary document survives in which they are named[882].] 

 

2.         RENAUDSeigneur de Gournaym ALBERADE, daughter of ---.  Gauthier de la Ferté founded the priory of La Ferté en Brai, at the command of "fratre Hugone", by charter dated to [989/96], which names his father Renaud and his mother Alberade[883].  Renaud & his wife had two children: 

a)         HUGUES [I] de Gournay (-after 989).  Gauthier de la Ferté founded the priory of La Ferté en Brai, at the command of "fratre Hugone", by charter dated to [989/96], which names his father Renaud and his mother Alberade[884].  The "command" of his brother suggests that Hugues was the older son, and presumably also Seigneur de Gournay

b)         GAUTHIER de la Ferté (-after 989).  Gauthier de la Ferté founded the priory of La Ferté en Brai, at the command of "fratre Hugone", by charter dated to [989/96], which names his father Renaud and his mother Alberade[885]

 

3.         HUGUES [I] de la Ferté (-before 1047).  He may have been the son of Gauthier de la Ferté, named above, but no document survives which confirms that this is the correct.  "Hugo" founded the priory of Sigy by charter dated to [1030/35][886]m ---.  The name of Hugues’s wife is not known.  Hugues & his wife had one child: 

a)         HUGUES [II] de la Ferté"Hugo Hugonis Firmentis filius" confirmed the foundation of the priory of Sigy by charter dated to before 6 Mar 1047[887].  Monk at St Ouen, Rouen. 

 

4.         HUGUES [II] de Gournay (-[killed in battle Cardiff 1074]).  The Chronique Manuscrite de Normandie records that, after the death of Canute King of England in 1035, "le Conte Neel de Coustantin…le sire de Guerarville, le sire de Gournay" sailed from Harfleur to England with Edward Prince of England to claim the English throne[888].  Guillaume de Poitou records that "Hugonis Gornacensis" joined forces with "Roberti Aucensis comitis", dated to after 1053[889].  "…Hugo de Gornai…" witnessed the charter dated to [1060] under which Guillaume II Duke of Normandy granted "Brenerias" to the abbey of Bayeux[890].  The Chronique de Normandie, based on le Roman de Rou, names "Hue de Gournay sire de Bray" and "le Conte Hue de Gournay" among those who took part in the conquest of England in 1066, the two similar names suggesting that they were father and son[891].  [The Histoire et Chronique de Normandie, printed in 1610 at Rouen, records that "Hue de Gournay et le comte d’Evreux" died in Normandy from wounds received in battle at Cardiff in 1074, fighting an invasion led by "Canut [roi] de Norvège"[892].  The account must be garbled as there was no king named Canute in either Norway or Denmark at the time, nor has any record been found of a comte d’Evreux dying around that period.  The historical basis of the account is uncertain.] 

 

 

1.         HUGUES [III] de Gournay (-[1093]).  "Domino meo Hugone Gurnacensi et filio eius Girardo et uxore eius Basilia" consented to the donation by "Radulfus cognomine Havoth" to Jumièges by charter dated to [1040][893], although presumably the document is misdated.  The Chronique de Normandie, based on le Roman de Rou, names "Hue de Gournay sire de Bray" and "le Conte Hue de Gournay" among those who took part in the conquest of England in 1066, the two similar names suggesting that they were father and son[894].  "…Hugonis de Gornaio…" subscribed the charter dated Apr 1067 under which "Willelmus…dux Normannorum…Anglorum rex" confirmed rights to the abbey of Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire[895]"…Hugo de Gurniaco, Ricardus de Curci, Rodulfus filius Herluini, Willelmus filius Hastenchi…" witnessed the charter dated to [1073] under which William I King of England confirmed the donation by "Nielli filii alterius Nielli" to the abbey of Marmoutier[896].  Domesday Book records “Hugh de Gournai” holding Liston, Ardleigh and Fordham in Essex[897].  Henry II King of England confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Bec, including donations by "Hugonis de Gornaco et Girardi filii", by charter dated to [1181/89][898]m (after 1051) as her second husband, BASILIE, widow of RAOUL de Gacé, daughter of GERARD Flaitel & his wife --- (-16 Jan [1099/1100]).  Guillaume de Jumièges records that "Galterium Giffardum primum” married “unam filiarum Girardi Flatelli” and that “alteram...Basiliam relictam Rodulphi de Waceio” married [secondly] “Hugo de Gornaco[899].  "Domino meo Hugone Gurnacensi et filio eius Girardo et uxore eius Basilia" consented to the donation by "Radulfus cognomine Havoth" to Jumièges by charter dated to [1040][900], although presumably the document is misdated.  Anselm Archbishop of Canterbury wrote to "Basiliæ amicæ Filiæ in Domino", dated to after 1093[901].  The Chronicon Beccensis Abbatiæ records that "tempore S. Anselmi abbatis Becci tres matronæ nobiles…Basilia uxor Hugonis de Gornaco, et Amfrida neptis ipsius Basiliæ, et Eva uxor Guillelmi Crispini" entered Bec and lived at the abbey, adding that they died on three consecutive Sundays "Amfrida Basiliæ neptis...minor...ætate, virgo…IV Non Jan, qua sepulta…Basilia domina eius…XVII Kal Feb…tertia Eva…X Kal Feb...post mortem...viri sui Guillermi Crispini...Beccique usque ad finem vitæ...perseuerauit"[902].  Gurney dates the passage to [1099/1100][903].  Henry II King of England confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Bec, including donations by "Hugonis de Gornaco et Girardi filii…Girardi de Gornaio et Basilie matris sue", by charter dated to [1181/89][904].  Hugues [III] & his wife had [three] children: 

a)         [GUILLAUME de Gournay (-after 1082).  "…William de Gornai…Girard de Gornai…" witnessed the charter dated 1082 under which William I King of England donated property to the abbey of la Trinité de Caen[905].] 

b)         GERARD de Gournay (-Palestine after 1104).  "Domino meo Hugone Gurnacensi et filio eius Girardo et uxore eius Basilia" consented to the donation by "Radulfus cognomine Havoth" to Jumièges by charter dated to [1040][906], although presumably the document is misdated.  "Domino meo Hugone Gurnaiensi et filio eius Girardo et uxore eius Basilia" consented to a donation to Jumièges abbey by "Radulphus cognomina Havoth cum uxore mea" on his entering the abbey as a monk, by undated charter[907].  "…William de Gornai…Girard de Gornai…" witnessed the charter dated 1082 under which William I King of England donated property to the abbey of la Trinité de Caen[908].  “Odo comes et Stephanus filius eius[909].  Orderic Vitalis records that “primus Normannorum Stephanus de Albamarla filius Odonis Campaniæ comitis” fortified “castellum suum super Aucium flumen” at the expense of William II King of England and placed there a garrison against “ducem” [Robert III Duke of Normandy] and that “Gornacensis Girardus” followed his example and delivered “Gornacum et Firmitatem et Goisleni Fontem” [Gournay, La Ferté-en-Brai, Gaillefontaine] to the king, dated to [1089/90][910].  Orderic Vitalis records that “comes Ebroicensis” requested Robert [III] Duke of Normandy to return “Bathventum et Nogionem, Vaceium et Craventionem, Scoceium [Bavent, near Troarn, Noyon-sur-Andelle, Gacé, Gravençon, Ecouché], aliosque fundos Radulfi patrui mei...Caput Asini” to him and grant “Pontem Sancti Petri” [Pont Saint-Pierre] to “nepoti...meo Guillelmo Bretoliensi”, which the duke agreed to, except “Scoceium” which was held by “Girardus de Gornaco...qui de eadem parentela prodierat, filius...Basiliæ Girardi Fleitelli filiæ”, dated to [1089][911].  He and his wife participated in the First Crusade but he died before the capture of Jerusalem[912].  Albert of Aix names "…Gerardus de Gorna…" among those who took part in the siege of Nikaia, dated to mid-1097 from the context[913].  Baudry names "Girardus de Gornaio" among those on the First Crusade in 1097[914].  Guillaume of Jumièges records that ”Giraldus” left for Jerusalem  but died while away[915].  Henry II King of England confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Bec, including donations by "Hugonis de Gornaco et Girardi filii…Girardi de Gornaio et Basilie matris sue", by charter dated to [1181/89][916].  [m firstly ---.  As discussed below, one possibility for the parentage of Amicie, wife of Richard Talbot, is that she was the daughter of Gérard de Gournay by an earlier otherwise unrecorded marriage.]  m [secondly] ([1084/92]) as her first husband, EDIVE [Edith] de Warenne, daughter of WILLIAM [I] de Warenne Earl of Surrey & his first wife Gundred --- ([1072/80]-after 1155).  Guillaume of Jumièges records that ”Giraldus” left for Jerusalem “cum uxore sua Edithua sorore Willelmi comitis de Warenna”, who married secondly “Drogoni de Monceio”, by whom she had “unum filium...Drogonem[917].  Her birth date is indicated bearing in mind that she had children by both her marriages.  The date of her first marriage is estimated assuming that she was about 12 years old at the time.  She married secondly Dreux [I] Seigneur de Moncy.  Her second marriage is confirmed by Orderic Vitalis who names "Hugo filius Girardi de Gornaco" and "Drogo, vitricus eius"[918].  Gérard & his [first/second] wife had [one child]: 

i)          [AMICIE de Gournay (before [1085]-[after 1100]).  Her marriage and family connection are indicated by Orderic Vitalis who records that "Hugo filius Girardi de Gornaco" rebelled against King Henry I after the marriage of his sister Gundred in Jun [1118], and captured “municipium...Plessicii” which he granted to "nepoti eius Hugoni Talabot"[919].  The passage indicates that Hugh Talbot was at least a young adult at the time, so not born later than [1100], which would place his mother’s birth no later than [1085].  There are therefore at least three possibilities for her parentage.  Firstly, if she was the child of Gérard de Gournay by his known wife Edive de Warenne, Edive would have been born in the early part of her estimated birth date range shown above and Amicie born soon after the marriage.  Secondly, given that that chronology is tight, Amicie could have been the daughter of Gérard by an earlier otherwise unrecorded marriage.  Thirdly, the word “nepos” in Orderic could indicate a more distant family relationship than nephew, maybe first cousin, in which case Amicie could have been the daughter of Hugues [III] de Gournay, although the more remote the relationship the less likely the appointment of Richard Talbot as custodian of the castle by Hugues [IV] de Gournay.  On balance, the most likely case appears to be the second.  Her name is indicated by two charters of King Henry II: Henry II King of England confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Valmont, including donations by "…Richardi Tallebot et Amicie uxoris eius et Hugonis et Willelmi filiorum suorum…", by charter dated to [1181/83][920].  Henry II King of England confirmed the possessions of the priory of Sainte-Foi de Longueville, including donations by "Ricardi Thalebot et Avitie uxoris sue et Hugonis filii sui", by charter dated to [Mar/Jun] 1189[921]m RICHARD Talbot, son of ---.] 

Gérard & his [second] wife had two children: 

ii)         HUGUES [IV] de Gournay ([1098/1100]-1180).  Orderic Vitalis names "Hugo filius Girardi de Gornaco" and "Drogo vitricus eius"[922]

-        see below

iii)        GUNDRED de Gournay ([1100/1105]-after 1155).  Guillaume of Jumièges records that “Nigello de Albinneio” married “Gundredam filiam Giraldi de Gornaco” by whom he had “filium...Rogerium de Moubraio[923].  Orderic Vitalis records the marriage in Jun [1118] of "Hugo filius Girardi de Gornaco...sorore sua...Gundrea...consilio regis" to “Nigello de Albinneio[924].  In another passage she is named as second wife of Nigel d'Aubigny[925].  The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Gunderede uxori Nig de Albin" in Leicestershire[926].  ”Gundreda, uxor Nigelli de Albini” donated property to the Hospital of St Leonard, York by undated charter which names “Rogero de Molbray filio suo[927].  An undated charter notes the donation of ”Hospitale Sancti Michaelis Archangeli” to Whitby Monastery, at the request of “Dominam Gundredam uxorem Nigelli de Albini” for the soul of “Rogero de Moubray filio eorum[928]m (Jun [1118]) as his second wife, NELE de Albini, son of ROGER de Albini & his wife Amice --- (-21 or 26 Nov 1129). 

b)         [HAWISE de Gournay (-after 1112).  The Annals of Bermondsey record the donation made by “Hawisia de Gurnay” of “ecclesiam de Inglescombe in comitatu Somerset” to the abbey in 1112[929].  No indication has been found about the parentage of Hawise.  If she was a member of the main Gournay family, the chronology suggests that she was more likely the daughter of Hugues [IV] de Gournay than of his son Gerard de Gournay.] 

 

 

HUGUES [IV] de Gournay, son of GERARD de Gournay & his wife Edith de Warenne ([1098/1100]-1180).  Orderic Vitalis names "Hugo filius Girardi de Gornaco" and "Drogo vitricus eius"[930].  Considering his death in 1180, it is unlikely that he was born much earlier than [1098/1100].  Matthew of Paris quotes a charter dated 1116 of King Henry I which records his grant of Biscot, Bedfordshire to the abbey of St Albans, witnessed by "…Adam de Port, Thomas de Sancto Johanne, Willelmus frater eius, Hugo de Gornaio"[931].  "Hugo de Gornaco" confirmed a donation by "Girardus pater meus" to the abbey of Saint-Sauveur, for the souls of "Beatricis…uxoris mee et Hugonis filii mei", by undated charter[932].  "Gornacensis dominus et…Hugo filius meus" donated property to Saint-Leu d’Esserent, for the soul of "Beatricis…uxoris meæ", by charter dated to [1144][933].  “Helias et Petrus vicedomini Gerbosreti, Hugo de Gornaco...” subscribed the charter dated 1149 under which Henri Bishop of Beauvais confirmed the donation of “territorii veteris Briostel” to Lannoy made by “Drogo filius Roeri et mater eius Isabelt[934].  An undated charter of Henry II King of England refers to the transfer of the priory of Sigy to a new site by "Hugo de Gornaio"[935].  "Dominus Hugo de Gournaio et Milesend uxor illius" founded Clairruissel priory, with the consent of "filiorum nostrorum Girardi et Hugonis", by undated charter[936].  The Red Book of the Exchequer records enfeoffments in the duchy of Normandy in [1172], "Hugo de Gurnaio" with 12 knights[937].  "Hugo de Gurnaio filius Geraldi de Gurnaio" confirmed an agreement between "Henricum abbatem et conventum Pratellensem" and “Rogerium abbatem et conventum Sancti Salvatoris” by charter dated 1172[938].  Ralph de Diceto records that "Hugo de Gornai, tam pater quam filius" were captured in 1173 "a Rege filio" during the rebellion of Henry the Young King against his father Henry II King of England[939].  "…Hugone de Gournayo…" subscribed the charter dated to [1172/78] under which Henry II King of England confirmed donations to the monks of Bec established at the church of Pré at Rouen which had been made by a charter of King Henry I dated 1122[940]

m firstly BEATRIX de Vermandois, daughter of HUGUES [I] de France Comte de Vermandois [Capet] & his wife Adelais Ctss de VermandoisThe De Genere Comitum Flandrensium, Notæ Parisienses refers to (but does not name) the fourth daughter of "comite Hugone et Adela uxore" being the wife of "comes Garentie"[941], although it is possible that this refers to "William de Warenne", second husband of the couple's daughter Elisabeth.  Guillaume of Jumièges records that ”Giraldo...filius eius Hugo” married “sorore Rodulfi de Parrona comitis Viromandorum”, by whom he had “unum filium...Hugonem[942].  "Hugo de Gornaco" confirmed a donation by "Girardus pater meus" to the abbey of Saint-Sauveur, for the souls of "Beatricis…uxoris mee et Hugonis filii mei", by undated charter[943].  "Gornacensis dominus et…Hugo filius meus" donated property to Saint-Leu d’Esserent, for the soul of "Beatricis…uxoris meæ", by charter dated to [1144][944]

m secondly (after [1151]) as her second husband, MELISENDE de Coucy, widow of ADELEME Châtelain d’Amiens, daughter of THOMAS de Marle Comte d’Amiens, Seigneur de Coucy, de Marle et de Boves & his third wife Mélisende de Crécy-sur-Serre.  The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names "Ingelrannum de Marla et Robertum Bovensem et filiam nomine matris" as children of "Thomam de Marla" by his wife Mélisende, specifying that their daughter married "Hugonem de Gornai dominum eiusdem loci"[945]The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to the daughter of "Thomas de Coci" & his "secundo uxor domna de Bovis" as "illam que data est Hugoni de Gornaio" but does not name her[946].  The primary source which confirms her first marriage has not yet been identified.  "Dominus Hugo de Gournaio et Milesend uxor illius" founded Clairruissel priory, with the consent of "filiorum nostrorum Girardi et Hugonis", by undated charter[947]

Hugues [IV] & his first wife had one child: 

1.         HUGUES de Gournay (-young).  Guillaume of Jumièges records that ”Giraldo...filius eius Hugo” married “sorore Rodulfi de Parrona comitis Viromandorum”, by whom he had “unum filium...Hugonem[948].  "Hugo de Gornaco" confirmed a donation by "Girardus pater meus" to the abbey of Saint-Sauveur, for the souls of "Beatricis…uxoris mee et Hugonis filii mei", by undated charter[949]

Hugues [IV] & his second wife had two children: 

2.         GERARD de Gournay (-young).  "Dominus Hugo de Gournaio et Milesend uxor illius" founded Clairruissel priory, with the consent of "filiorum nostrorum Girardi et Hugonis", by undated charter[950]

3.         HUGUES [V] de Gournay (-25 Oct [1214])"Dominus Hugo de Gournaio et Milesend uxor illius" founded Clairruissel priory, with the consent of "filiorum nostrorum Girardi et Hugonis", by undated charter[951].  Ralph de Diceto records that "Hugo de Gornai, tam pater quam filius" were captured in 1173 "a Rege filio" during the rebellion of Henry the Young King against his father Henry II King of England[952].  "…Hugone de Gurnai…" subscribed the charter dated to [1182/89] under which Henry II King of England confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Barbery[953].  "Hugo de Gornaco" founded Bellosanne Abbey by charter dated 1198[954].  "Hugo de Gornaco" donated property to Fécamp, for the souls of "Juliane uxoris mee et puerorum meorum", by charter dated 1202[955].  The Testa de Nevill lists knights who held land in Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, dated to [1208/10]: "Hugo de Gurnay" held "Wendoun de dominico domini regis"[956].  The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Hugo de Gurnay" holding three knights’ fees in Norfolk in [1210/12][957].  The Close Rolls dated 9 Sep [1214] record the illness of "Hugonis de Gornaco" and name "Gerardi filii primogeniti et heredis sui"[958].  The Annals of Dunstable record that “Hugo de Gurnaco” became a Templar "in Pictavia" and died in 1213[959].  The obituary of Belosanne Abbey records the death 25 Oct of Hugues de Gournay[960]m JULIANE, daughter of --- (-after 1202).  "Hugo de Gornaco" donated property to Fécamp, for the souls of "Juliane uxoris mee et puerorum meorum", by charter dated 1202[961].  A letter which purports to be from her granddaughter "Dame Julian Tresgoze…espouse…a Sr Robert Tresgoos le Second" to "son frère St Thomas de Cantlow, Euesque…de Hereford" gives a confused version of the family’s lineage: "Sr Hugh de Gornaye" married "la reyne Blanch" [widow of Louis VIII King of France, such a second marriage being impossible chronologically] and had "un fils…Hugh…nostre ayle", who married "la soer le count Renaud de Boloyng"[962].  Genealogical details in other parts of the letter can be corroborated against other sources.  It is therefore difficult to decide whether the entry relating to the wife of Hugues [V] should be dismissed in the same way as the supposed marriage of his father to the widow of King Louis VIII or whether it is factually correct.  If the document is correct, Hugues [V]’s wife was Juliane de Dammartin, daughter of Aubry [II] Comte de Dammartin & his wife Mathilde de Clermont-en-Beauvaisis.  The absence of Juliane’s descendants from the enquiry in 1267, which adjudged property of “Philippus olim comes Bolonie et...Matildis” to “Matheus comes Domni-Martini, domini Guillelmus de Fienes, Baldoinus de Fienes, Michael de Fienes, Ingerannus de Pinquegniaco et Renaudus de Pinquegniaco, heredes comitisse Matildis Bolonie[963], suggests that this alleged parentage is incorrect.  Hugues [V] & his wife had three children: 

a)         GERARD de Gournay (-[9 Sep 1214/22 Apr 1216]).  The Close Rolls dated 9 Sep [1214] record the illness of "Hugonis de Gornaco" and name "Gerardi filii primogeniti et heredis sui"[964]

b)         MELISENDE de Gournay )Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by a letter which purports to be from her daughter "Dame Julian Tresgoze…espouse…a Sr Robert Tresgoos le Second" to "son frère St Thomas de Cantlow, Euesque…de Hereford" which gives a confused version of the family’s lineage: "Sr Hugh de Gornaye" married "la reyne Blanch" [widow of Louis VIII King of France, such a second marriage being impossible chronologically] and had "un fils…Hugh…nostre ayle", who married "la soer le count Renaud de Boloyng", whose daughter "Milsent nostre mere" married "a Count de Euoyse en Normandy" by whom she had one son and one daughter, before marrying "Will de Cantelow nostre pere"[965].  Henry III King of England granted "maneriis de Mapeldureham et Petrefeld" to "Rogero la Szuche", as granted by King John except for the dower of "Milesentie que fuit uxor comitis Ebroici", dated 14 Mar 1217[966].  King Henry III ordered “Rogero de la Suche”, relating to “dote ipsius Milesand que eam contingit de maneriis Mapeldoreham et Peterfeud que fuerunt ipsius Com Ebroic quondam viri sui”, in favour of “Willo de Cantelup juniori et Milante que fuit uxor Aumar quondam Com Ebroic”, dated 15 Mar 1217[967]m firstly (before 1203) as his second wife, AMAURY [VI] de Montfort Comte d’Evreux, son of AMAURY [V] de Montfort Comte d'Evreux & his wife Mabel of Gloucester (-[1213])m secondly ([15 Mar 1217]) WILLIAM [III] de Cauntelo, son of WILLIAM [II] de Cauntelo & his wife --- (-1251). 

c)         HUGUES [VI] de Gournay of Mapledurham, Oxfordshire (-1239, bur Langley Abbey, Norfolk).  "Hug de Gurnay fil Hug de Gurnay" paid a fine for "feodis suis q sunt in manu dñi Reg", in Norfolk and Suffolk, dated 22 Apr 1216[968]m firstly (after May 1220) as her second husband, LUCY, widow of ROBERT de Berkeley, daughter of --- (-18 Jan 1234, bur Bristol St Augustine).  Smyth records that "the second wife [of Lord Robert] was Lucy whom hee maryed not above two yeares before his death", that she married secondly "Hugh de Gurney sonne of Hugh", died 18 Jan 1234 and was buried at Bristol St Augustine, but the precise primary sources on which he bases his statements are not obvious from his citations[969]The Testa de Nevill includes a list of landholdings in Gloucestershire, dated to [1226/28], which includes "Lucia que fuit uxor Roberti de Berkelay est maritata Hugoni de Gurney. Terra eius valet c.l"[970]m secondly as her first husband, MATHILDE, daughter of ---.  She married secondly Roger de Clifford of Bridge Sollers, Herefordshire.  Hugues [VI] & his second wife had one child:

F.      SEIGNEURS de GRAVILLE (MALET)

 

 

Graville-Sainte-Honorine is now a suburb of Le Havre in the present-day French département of Seine-Inférieure, in the Pays de Caux in Normandy.  Keats-Rohan records that the Malet family was established there by the beginning of the 11th century and also held land near Caen[976].  The family’s possible early connections with England were consolidated following the Norman conquest (see the document UNTITLED ENGLISH NOBILITY - L-O).  The precise relationship between the Malet Seigneurs de Graville and the English Malet families has not been ascertained.  Domesday Descendants says that Mathieu, shown below, was "presumably son of William [II] and Oliva de Tancarville, daughter of Rabel and Theophania de Richmond"[977], although as noted below this suggestion presents some chronological difficulties. 

 

 

1.         MATHIEU Malet de Graville (-after 1172)A charter dated 25 Mar 1159 records an agreement between the abbey of Fécamp and "Matheo de Gerarvilla" concerning "dominio inter Gerartvillam et Harefluet" {Graville and Harfleur}, sworn by "…Robertus frater ipsius Mathei…"[978].  The Liber Niger Scaccarii records the "carta Mathæi de Gerardivilla" among the certificates for knight-service in Hertfordshire in 1168[979].  "Mattheus de Gerardivilla" accounted for "iv mil. et ad suum servitium xii mil. et dim" in the Pays de Caux in 1172[980].  Henry II King of England confirmed the property of Valmont abbey, including the donation made by "Mathei de Gerarvilla et Willelmi filii sui", by charter dated to [1181/83][981]m ---.  No primary source which names Mathieu’s wife has been found.  Stapleton suggests that the mother of Guillaume [III] Malet de Graville was Olive de Tancarville, daughter of Rabel de Tancarville & his first wife Tiphaine de Penthièvre, leaving open the identification of her husband[982].  As noted above, Domesday Descendants suggests that Olive was the wife of William [II] Malet, but a marriage with Mathieu de Graville would provide a better chronological fit.  Mathieu & his wife had one child: 

a)         GUILLAUME [III] Malet de Graville (-[Sep 1214/Oct 1215])Henry II King of England confirmed the property of Valmont abbey, including the donation made by "Mathei de Gerarvilla et Willelmi filii sui", by charter dated to [1181/83][983].  "Will Malet" accounted for land at "Criketot" in the Pays de Caux in 1195[984].  "William Malet de Girardivilla" founded the church of Sainte-Honorine at Graville[985].  "…Willelmus Malet…" is listed among those who swore to uphold a treaty between John King of England and the count of Flanders dated 18 Aug 1199[986].  “…Willelmus Malet…" witnessed the treaty between John King of England and Philippe II King of France dated Sep 1214[987]m (after [1198]) as her second husband, PHILIPPA d'Alençon, widow of WILLIAM de Roumare Earl of Lincoln, daughter of JEAN [I] Comte d'Alençon & his wife Beatrix de Maine [Anjou] (-before [1220]).  The primary source which confirms her parentage and three marriages has not yet been identified.  Her second marriage is indicated by two charters.  Hemericus vicecomes Castri-Eraudi, Ala uxor quondam Roberti filii Ernesii, et Robertus Malet" relinquished "castrum de Esseio" in return for "terram et redditus apud Escocheium" by charter dated to [1220][988]The family relationship between the three participants is explained in another charter dated to [1220] which records that Hemerico vicecomiti Castri-Eraudi, Alæ uxori Roberti Ernesii et Roberto Malet, Roberti comitis Alenconii heredibus" assigned property for "castri de Esseio"[989].  She married thirdly (before Oct 1215) as his first wife, Guillaume de Préaux.  Guillaume [III] & his wife had [two] children: 

i)          ROBERT Malet de Graville (-after 1242).  “Hemericus vicecomes Castri-Eraudi, Ala uxor quondam Roberti filii Ernesii, et Robertus Malet" relinquished "castrum de Esseio" in return for "terram et redditus apud Escocheium" by charter dated to [1220][990]The family relationship between the three participants is explained in another charter dated to [1220] which records that Hemerico vicecomiti Castri-Eraudi, Alæ uxori Roberti Ernesii et Roberto Malet, Roberti comitis Alenconii heredibus" assigned property for "castri de Esseio"[991].  “Hemericus vicecomes Castri-Eraudi et Hela soror Roberti quondam comitis de Alencon et Robertus Malet" relinquished "forestam…Escoves et hayam de Ferraria et forestam de Chaumont et forestam de Ruppe-Heolydis, usque in Sarton…de dominio de Alenconio" by charter dated Jan 1220 (probably O.S.)[992].  Père Anselme states that the king of France ordered him to Saint-Germain-en-Laye in 1236 and to Chinon in 1242 to campaign against the comte de la Marche[993]

ii)         [ISABELLE Malet .  La Roque records that Isabelle, daughter of “Robert [error for Guillaume?] Malet sire de Graville, qui vivoit l’an 1215 et de sa femme, “Dame de Sées, de Bernay le Bois et de Teuville...fille de Robert Comte d’Alençon[994]La Roque notes that he husband donated property to Bec for “son ame et de celle d’Isabelle sa femme” by charter dated 1228[995].  The primary sources which confirm this information have not been identified.  m HENRI de Neufbourg Seigneur de Livarot, son of --- (-18 May 1279, bur Bec).] 

2.         ROBERT (-after 25 Mar 1159).  A charter dated 25 Mar 1159 records an agreement between the abbey of Fécamp and "Matheo de Gerarvilla" concerning "dominio inter Gerartvillam et Harefluet" {Graville and Harfleur}, sworn by "…Robertus frater ipsius Mathei…"[996]

 

 

ROBERT Malet, son of GUILLAUME [III] Malet de Graville & his wife Philippa d’Alençon (-after 1242).  “Hemericus vicecomes Castri-Eraudi, Ala uxor quondam Roberti filii Ernesii, et Robertus Malet" relinquished "castrum de Esseio" in return for "terram et redditus apud Escocheium" by charter dated to [1220][997]The family relationship between the three participants is explained in another charter dated to [1220] which records that Hemerico vicecomiti Castri-Eraudi, Alæ uxori Roberti Ernesii et Roberto Malet, Roberti comitis Alenconii heredibus" assigned property for "castri de Esseio"[998].  “Hemericus vicecomes Castri-Eraudi et Hela soror Roberti quondam comitis de Alencon et Robertus Malet" relinquished "forestam…Escoves et hayam de Ferraria et forestam de Chaumont et forestam de Ruppe-Heolydis, usque in Sarton…de dominio de Alenconio" by charter dated Jan 1220 (probably O.S.)[999]Seigneur de Graville.  Père Anselme states that the king of France ordered him to Saint-Germain-en-Laye in 1236 and to Chinon in 1242 to campaign against the comte de la Marche[1000]

m ---.  La Roque names the wife of Robert Malet “dame des seigneuries de Sées, Bernay le Bois et Teuvillé”, but names her “fille de Robert Comte d’Alençon et de Sées, nommée Alle d’Alençon” (presumably confusing her with the wife of Guillaume [III] Malet), without citing the primary source on which this information is based[1001].  The primary source which confirms the identity of Robert’s wife has not been identified. 

Robert & his wife had [one child]:

1.         [JEAN [I] Malet (-after 1285).  Duchesne names “Jean Malet [I] Seigneur de Gueravillet” as son of Robert who is named above[1002].  Père Anselme records that Jean [I] was the son of Robert Malet without citing the corresponding primary source[1003].  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified.  Seigneur de Graville.  A charter of Graville priory records “Ioannes Mallet miles et dominus de Girardivilla...cum Ioanna uxore sua” donating property dated Nov 1264, and “alter Ioannes Mallet dominus de Girardivilla cum uxore Anna” in 1345[1004]m JEANNE, daughter of --- (-after Nov 1264).  A charter of Graville priory records “Ioannes Mallet miles et dominus de Girardivilla...cum Ioanna uxore sua” donating property dated Nov 1264, and “alter Ioannes Mallet dominus de Girardivilla cum uxore Anna” in 1345[1005].  Jean [I] & his wife had [one child]: 

a)         [JEAN [II] Malet (-after 1328).  Duchesne names “Jean Malet II...seigneur de Gueraville, Sées et Bernay” as son of Jean [I][1006].  Père Anselme records that Jean [II] was the son of Jean [I] Malet without citing the corresponding primary source[1007]. The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified.  Seigneur de Graville.  Père Anselme records that Jean [II] was knighted in 1313, was commanded to Paris 12 Nov 1318 for a campaign against the Flemish, and fought at Maraux in Flanders in 1328, without citing the corresponding primary sources[1008].]  m ANNE de Wavrin, daughter of ROBERT de Wavrin Seigneur de Saint-Venant & his [first] wife [Marie de Roye].  Duchesne names Catherine as daughter of “Jean Malet II...seigneur de Gueraville, Sées et Bernay...[et sa] femme Anne de S. Venant fille de Robert Seigneur de Sainct-Venant” as wife of “Jean Malet II...seigneur de Gueraville, Sées et Bernay[1009].  Père Anselme names her “Anne alias Jeanne de Wavrin fille de Robert de Wavrin seigneur de S. Venant”, noting that her husband through her received payments from the treasury in Mar 1315, which were due from “la forêt de Fontaines au pays de Caux” in 1317[1010].  The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified.]  Jean [II] & his wife had [three children]: 

i)          [JEAN [III] Malet (-Rouen 13 Apr 1355, bur 23 Dec 1357 Rouen Cathedral).  Duchesne names Jean [III] as older son of Jean [II] Malet[1011].  The primary source which records his parentage has not been identified.  [A charter of Graville priory records “Ioannes Mallet miles et dominus de Girardivilla...cum Ioanna uxore sua” donating property dated Nov 1264, and “alter Ioannes Mallet dominus de Girardivilla cum uxore Anna” in 1345[1012]m ANNE, daughter of --- (-after 1345).  A charter of Graville priory records “Ioannes Mallet miles et dominus de Girardivilla...cum Ioanna uxore sua” donating property dated Nov 1264, and “alter Ioannes Mallet dominus de Girardivilla cum uxore Anna” in 1345[1013].  It is not certain to which Jean Malet the second entry refers, but the chronology suggests that it was Jean [III].] 

ii)         [GUILLAUME Malet (-after 1339).  Seigneur de Montaigu: Duchesne names “Guillaume Malet seigneur de Montaigu vivant l’an 1339” as younger son of Jean [II] Malet[1014].  Père Anselme names Guillaume as son of Jean [I] Malet (and records his descendants “seigneurs de Plannes”)[1015].  Insufficient chronological data is available to suggest which writer might be correct.  The primary source which records his parentage has not been identified.] 

iii)        [CATHERINE Malet (-22 Feb 1331, bur Sainte-Marie de Beaulieu).  The primary source which records her parentage and marriage has not been identified.  Duchesne names Catherine as daughter of “Jean Malet II...seigneur de Gueraville, Sées et Bernay...[et sa] femme Anne de S. Venant fille de Robert Seigneur de Sainct-Venant[1016].  Alternatively, the chronology seems compatible with Catherine being the daughter of Jean [I] Malet.  Dupplesis records the burial at Sainte-Marie de Beaulieu of “Catherine Mallet”, wife of Jean de Préaux, who died 22 Feb 1331[1017]m JEAN de Préaux, son of --- (-[11 Jun] [1330], bur Sainte-Marie de Beaulieu).] 

 

 

Robert Malet shown below has not otherwise been identified in the Malet family.  His wife’s birth date is calculated very approximately from her parents’ marriage in [1215/16], suggesting that he was born duing the first two decades of the 13th century.  Polanovski indicates him as the son of Robert Malet (died after 1242, see above), grandson of Guillaume Malet [Guillaume [III], see above], and as the father of “N (Jean?) Malet” and grandfather of Jean [II] who is named above[1018].  This indication contradicts Duchesne’s suggestion that Guillaume [III] was succeeded by his son Robert and then by Robert’s son Jean [I], although primary sources which confirm this line of succession have not been identified.  One possibility is that Robert Seigneur de Planes was a younger brother of Jean [I] and was directly in the line of succession of heads of the Malet family.  The apparent duplication between Robert’s supposed grandson Guillaume and Guillaume son of Jean [II] Malet (see above) should also be highlighted. 

 

1.         ROBERT Malet ([1200/20]-).  Seigneur de Planes: an undated charter records the agreement between "Robert Malet chevalier, seignour de Planes" and "Robert Bertran chevalier seignour de Briquebec et monseignour Guillaume Bertran chevalier son frère" concerning the dowry of "Johenne lour seur, ma fame"[1019]m JEANNE Bertrand, daughter of ROBERT [V] Bertrand & his wife Jeanne Taisson ([1217/30?]-).  An undated charter records the agreement between "Robert Malet chevalier, seignour de Planes" and "Robert Bertran chevalier seignour de Briquebec et monseignour Guillaume Bertran chevalier son frère" concerning the dowry of "Johenne lour seur, ma fame"[1020].  Robert & his wife had one child: 

a)         --- [Jean?] Malet .  The “Noble lignée de Hambie Painel” manuscript, published by La Roque, records the relationship between the Paynell/Hambye family and “Au seigneur de Montagu et sa femme luy appartiennent qui fut de Tolleuast et à sa femme, et est Monsieur du quart Montagu et sa femme 5o degré, et à eux du 4o[1021].  Polonovski interprets this as meaning that “N (Jean)) Malet”, son of “Jeanne Bertrand” was father of “Guillaume Malet de Montagu” who married “N. de Tollevast”, by whom he was father of “Robert Malet[1022].  This information has not been verified.  [Jean?] & his wife had one child: 

i)          GUILLAUME Malet de Montagu .  Polinovski records his parentage as noted above.  It should be noted that this person apparently duplicates Guillaume Malet Seigneur de Montagu who, according to Duchesne, was the son of Jean [II] Malet Seigneur de Graville (see above).  m --- de Tollevast, daughter of ---.  Guillaume & his wife had one child: 

(a)       ROBERT Malet .  Polinovski records his parentage as noted above. 

 

 

1.         JEAN [III] Malet (-Rouen 13 Apr 1356, bur 23 Dec 1357 Rouen Cathedral).  Duchesne names Jean [III] as older son of Jean [II] Malet[1023].  The primary source which records his parentage has not been identified.  Père Anselme records that Jean [III] was the son of Jean [II] Malet without citing the corresponding primary source[1024]Seigneur de GravilleThe Chronique des règnes de Jean II et de Charles V records that, after the murder of “monseigneur Charles d’Espaigne, lors connestable de France” 8 Jan 1353 (O.S.), Charles II King of Navarre sought protection in Normandy from “les dessus nommés de Harcourt, le seigneur de Hambuie, monseigneur Jehan Malet seigneur de Graaville, monseigneur Almaury de Meulent[1025]A supporter of the king of Navarre, he was beheaded at Rouen (5 Apr 1355, according to Père Anselme)[1026]m ELEONORE de Châtillon, daughter of GUY [III] de Châtillon Comte de Saint-Pol & his wife Marie de Bretagne [Dreux-Capet] ([1293/1310]-after 12 Jun 1357).  Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by a judgment dated 7 Jan 1348 relating to a claim by “Ioannes Maleti miles et Lienordis de Sancto Paulo eius uxor” against “comitissam de Sancto Paulo et Ioannem de Landas militem eius maritum, ut habentes ballum liberorum Ioannis de Sancto Paulo ultimo defuncti fratris dictæ Lienordis[1027].  A judgment dated 12 Jun 1357 relates to a claim made by “Lyenordi de Sancto Paulo relicta defuncti Ioannis Maleti domini quondam de Gravilla” against “Karoli comitis Alençonii et Pertici[1028].  Jean [III] & his wife had two children: 

a)         JEAN [IV] Malet (-[Jan 1361/1366]).  His father granted him the manor of Colleville, parish of Harfleur, 29 Apr 1349, confirmed by the king Nov 1350[1029].  He was restored to his father’s properties in Jan 1361[1030]Seigneur de GravilleAs noted below, Père Anselme records that “Jean Malet IV” was “encore en la garde du roi en 1366”, when he received “quelques rentes du fief de Verbosc[1031], but this entry presumably relates to Jean [V].  m ---.  The name of Jean’s wife is not known.  Jean [IV] & his wife had one child: 

i)          JEAN [V] Malet ([after 1347?]-after 1380)Seigneur de Graville.  He is named “soubs aage” in the 20 Aug 1368 charter quoted below.  If that is factually correct, it is likely that Jean was the son of Jean [IV], naming his presumed paternal uncle Robert in the same document as shown below.  This supposition is corroborated by Père Anselme who records that “Jean Malet IV” was “encore en la garde du roi en 1366”, when he received “quelques rentes du fief de Verbosc[1032], a comment which makes sense only if Jean was a minor at the time.  He must therefore have been Jean [V].  Père Anselme records that “Jean Malet IV” served as “écuyer en 1369...[et] continua dans les années suivantes jusques en 1380, étant lors chevalier banneret[1033].  Consistent with the other sources indicating the existence of Jean [V], Anselme’s remarks presumably relate to him.  m ([9 Sep 1367/30 Aug 1368]) as her second husband, MARIE de Léon, widow of JEAN Seigneur de Kergorlay, daughter of HERVE [VII] de Léon Seigneur de Noyon & his second wife Marguerite d´Avaugour ([1345/49?]-after 20 Aug 1368).  The testament of “Herveus de Leonia dominus de Noion”, dated 21 Aug 1363, bequeathed property to “Guillelmo Remondi...Herveo Remondi...sorori meæ dominæ de Guergorlé...Mariæ filiæ domini Erardi de Leonia[1034].  “Monsour Johan Vicomte de Rohan et Madame Johanne de Leon sa femme sur aînée de ladite Madame Marie” granted property to “Messire Jehan de Guergollé Sire de Guergollé et Madame Marie sa femme” relating to the succession of their brother “feu Hervé de Leon Seigneur de Noyon sur Andele” by charter dated 21 Jul 1367[1035].  A charter of Charles V King of France dated 21 Jul 1367 records the request made by “Jean Sire de Guergollé et Marie de Leon sa femme seur heritiere pour partie de feu Hervé de Leon Seigneur de Noyon sur Andele” regarding the same succession “Messire Jehan de Guergollé Sire de Guergollé et Madame Marie sa femme” relating to the succession of their brother “feu Hervé de Leon Seigneur de Noyon sur Andele” by charter dated 21 Jul 1367, a charter dated 9 Sep 1367 records a hearing at Rouen in the presence of “Marie de Leon Dame de Guergollé, deguerpie de feu Messire Joan jadis Seigneur de Guergollé...”, a charter dated 20 Aug 1368 records the intervention of “Johan Mallet Seigneur de Guerarville soubs aage...Marie de Leon sa femme...applégié par Monssour Robert Mallet, ses amys...Sire d’Auberville[1036].  It should be noted that Père Anselme names Marie de Léon as wife of Jean [I] Malet Seigneur de Graville[1037], which is impossible chronologically. 

b)         ROBERT Malet (-after 1380).  Père Anselme records that Robert was the brother of Jean [IV] Malet without citing the corresponding primary source, adding that the cartulaire of Graville Sainte-Honorine names him in 1380[1038].  Seigneur d’Auberville: Johan Mallet Seigneur de Guerarville soubs aage...Marie de Leon sa femme...applégié par Monssour Robert Mallet, ses amys...Sire d’Auberville” is named in the 20 Aug 1368 charter quoted above[1039].  No family relationship is specified between Jean and Robert, but it is reasonable to suppose that the latter was the former’s nearest adult relative, probably his paternal uncle.  Seigneur de Gravillem ---.  The name of Robert’s wife is not known.  Robert & his wife had one child: 

i)          GUY Malet (-after 1410).  The cartulaire of Graville Sainte-Honorine records that “Guy Malet chevalier fils [du] feu Robert et seigneur dudit lieu” succeeded his father and was named in 1395[1040]Seigneur de Graville.  He acquired “un fief en la paroisse de Gonneville” from “[le] sire de Breauté” in 1410[1041]

 

 

1.         JEANNE Malet (-[after 4 Jun 1378]).  Père Anselme names Jeanne as second daughter of “Jean Malet”, noting that he and her husband sold rights over her mother’s succession in “les halles et moulins de Rouen” to Pope Gregory XI 14 Jul 1372 and sold their claim to revenue from the county of Blois to “Jean d’Estouteville” [her daughter’s father-in-law?]  4 Jun 1378[1042].  The dates suggest that “Jean Malet” was Jean [V], but if that is correct his dates suggest that he would have been her brother not her father.  Pending the emergence of more primary source material relating to the Malet family, Jeanne’s precise parentage is not shown here.  Polanovski records Jeanne Malet, mother of “Jeanne” [not Blanche, see below] de Mauquenchy-Blainville (who married Colart d’Estouteville), as the daughter of “Jean II Malet” and granddaughter of Robert Malet Seigneur de Planes (husband of Jeanne Bertrand, see above)[1043], but from a chronological point of view this suggestion appears difficult to sustain.  m ([before 1350?]) JEAN [IV] de Mauquenchy dit Mouton Seigneur de Blainville, Maréchal de France, son of JEAN [III] de Mauquenchy dit Mouton Seigneur de Corneuil & his wife Jeanne de Chambly Dame de Cervon (-Feb 1391).  Père Anselme records his parentage and details of his career, noting sources dated 1339, 1356, 1361, 1363, 19 Sep 1354, 1374, 20 May 1375, 28 Sep 1381, 1382 and 1386 in which he was named, his appointment 20 Jun 1368 as Maréchal de France in succession to Maréchal de Boucicaut, and his death in Feb 1391[1044].  Jean & his wife had two children: 

a)         --- “Moutonnet” de Blainville ([1350?]-1369, bur Blainville).  Père Anselme records his parentage, calling him “Moutonnet” which suggests a nickname, a diminutive of his father’s nickname, notes that he consented to his father’s acquisition “des héritages aux bailliages de Caux et de Rouen et les unir sous un même hommage à la terre de Blainville” Nov 1367, and records his date of death and place of burial[1045]

b)         BLANCHE de Mauquenchy ([1355?]-[1390?])Père Anselme (naming “Jeanne”) records her parentage and her marriage “dès l’an 1372” (no sources cited)[1046]This marriage date suggests her birth around [1355].  Dame de Blainville  Morandière names “Madame Blanche de Blainville”, recorded in “le missel de la chapelle du château de Blainville” daughter of “le Maréchal Mouton...Jean de Mauquenchy...sa mère est Malet de Graville”, as wife of “M. de Torcy” and records the death of her brother in 1369 (no source citations)[1047].  Her parentage is indicated by the “Noble lignée de Hambie Painel” manuscript, published by La Roque, which records a relationship between the Paynell/Hambye family and “Monsieur de Blainville, Estouteville fils de Monsieur de Torchy à cause des Bertrans, et à cause de son pere et de son ayeulle par sa mere, qui fut fille de Monsieur Jean Mallet seigneur de Graville est du 6o degré, et Monsieur du 4o[1048].  The date of her death is not known.  Morandière concludes that the document dated 3 Feb 1392 (O.S.?), cited under her son Charles which relates to his inheritance from her father, means that “Madame de Torcy était donc morte[1049].  This seems a reasonable conclusion, although she may have died many years before her father.  m ([1372]) as his first wife, COLART d’Estouteville Seigneur de Torcy, son of JEAN d’Estouteville Seigneur de Torcy et d’Estoutemont & his wife [Jeanne] [de Fiennes] (-killed in battle Azincourt 25 Oct 1415).

 

 

The following reconstruction of later generations of this family is an outline which shows selected family members only, mainly for hyperlinking to other families studied in Medieval Lands.  The information has not been verified against primary source documentation, unless otherwise stated. 

 

1.         JEAN [VI] Malet (-before 23 Jul 1456).  Père Anselme names Jean [VI] as the son of Guy Malet without citing the corresponding primary source[1050]Seigneur de Graville.  Grand-Maître des Arbalestiers de France.  m firstly (after 1406) as her second husband, JEANNE de Bellengues, widow of RENAUD de Trie Seigneur de Sérifontaine Amiral de France, daughter of --- (-after 6 Apr 1412).  Père Anselme records her family origin and two marriages (no sources cited)[1051].  “Jean Malet de Graville et Jeanne de Bellengues sa femme, jadis femme de l’amiral Regnault de Trie” sold half of “la terre et seigneurie de Mareil” to “Arnaud de Corbie chancelier de France” by charter dated 18 Jan 1410 (O.S.)

G.      SEIGNEURS de MARIGNY

 

 

The Marigny family’s lands were located in the pays de Bray near the forest of Lyons[1055], near the town of Lyons-la-Forêt in the present-day département of Eure, arrondissement Les Andelys.  The family rose to prominence with the success achieved by Enguerrand de Marigny at the court of Philippe IV King of France, where he became chambellan in the early 14th century.  Enguerrand made enemies and in 1315, falling victim to their machinations, was tried for corruption and witchcraft, and hanged.  Two of his brothers filled important ecclesiastical positions and members of Enguerrand’s family married into the lesser ranks of nobility in northern France as will be seen below.  Père Anselme’s reconstruction of the family includes individuals whose names have not been copied into the following section as the corresponding primary sources which confirm their family relationships have not been identified[1056]

 

 

1.         MATHILDE [de Marigny], daughter of --- (-after 1209).  Heiress of Marigny.  “Richardus de Maregny et Matildis uxor mea et Petronilla filia mea” donated revenue from “terra...de Marregny et Dampnopetro” to the church of Saint-Hildebert de Gournay-en-Bray by undated charter[1057].  “Hugo Portarius” confirmed the donation of revenue from “terra...de Marregny et Dampnopetro” to the church of Saint-Hildebert de Gournay en Bray made by “Ricardus de Sancto Leodegario et Matildis uxor mea” by undated charter[1058].  “Hugo Portarius” exchanged property with the church of Lyons Saint-Laurent, with the consent of “Matildis uxoris mea et Ingerrani filii mei”, by charter dated 1209[1059]m firstly RICHARD de Saint-Léger, son of ---.  Richardus de Maregny et Matildis uxor mea et Petronilla filia mea” donated revenue from “terra...de Marregny et Dampnopetro” to the church of Saint-Hildebert de Gournay en Bray by undated charter[1060]m secondly HUGUES [le] Portier, son of ENGUERRAND [le] Portier & his wife --- (-after 1209).  Père Anselme names “Hugues le Portier chevalier” as son of “Enguran le Portier chevalier seigneur de Rosey et de Lyons en partie“ named in 1150 and 1180[1061].  The primary source which confirms this information has not been identified.  It is possible that Anselme exaggerated Hugues’s social status, with the term “chevalier”, as he is called “mercatus” in the May 1246 charter of his grandson quoted below.  “Hugo Portarius” exchanged property with the church of Lyons Saint-Laurent, with the consent of “Matildis uxoris mea et Ingerrani filii mei”, by charter dated 1209[1062].  Mathilde & her first husband had one child: 

a)         PETRONILLE de Saint-Léger .  “Richardus de Maregny et Matildis uxor mea et Petronilla filia mea” donated revenue from “terra...de Marregny et Dampnopetro” to the church of Saint-Hildebert de Gournay-en-Bray by undated charter[1063]

Mathilde & her second husband had one child: 

b)         ENGUERRAND [I] [le] Portier [de Marigny] (-[Apr 1240/May 1246]).  Hugo Portarius” exchanged property with the church of Lyons Saint-Laurent, with the consent of “Matildis uxoris mea et Ingerrani filii mei”, by charter dated 1209[1064].  “Ingeranus de Marreigny” confirmed donations to Saint-Hildebert de Gournay-en-Bray by charter dated Apr 1240[1065]m ---.  The name of Enguerrand’s wife is not known.  Enguerrand [I] & his wife had two children: 

i)          JEAN de Marigny (-after Jan 1272).  “Ioannes de Marigny” donated property to Lyons Saint-Laurent and confirmed donations made by “Hugo Portuarius avus meus mercatus...Ingerranus pater meus” by charter dated May 1246[1066].  The testament of “Ioannes de Marregny miles” is dated Jan 1271 (O.S.?)[1067]

ii)         PHILIPPE de Marigny (-after Sep 1268)Philippus de Marregny armiger filius Ingeranni Portarii militis et hæres eiusdem de feodo de Escoyes” donated property to Mortemer abbey by charter dated Sep 1268[1068]

PHILIPPE de Marigny, son of ENGUERRAND [I] [le] Portier [de Marigny] & his wife --- (-before 23 Mar 1306)Philippus de Marregny armiger filius Ingeranni Portarii militis et hæres eiusdem de feodo de Escoyes” donated property to Mortemer abbey by charter dated Sep 1268[1069].  A charter dated 23 Mar 1306 records the settlement of his succession between “domina Petronilla de Bosco Galteri relicta...Philippi de Marrigniaco militis domini d’Escoyes defuncti et Petrus Oyseleti predicte relicte primogenitus ex predicti defuncti...procreatus pro aliis liberis minoribus ex ipsis similiter procreatis” and “Ingerrannus de Marreigniaco miles dominus de Media Villa predicti defuncti primogenitus pro se, fratre sororbusque suis germanis[1070]

m firstly ---.  The name of Philippe’s first wife is not known.  The age range of Philippe’s earlier children, shown below as born to his first marriage, suggest that they may have been born from more than one wife. 

m secondly PETRONILLE de Bois-Gauthier, daughter of --- (-after 23 Mar 1306).  A charter dated 23 Mar 1306 records the settlement of his succession between “domina Petronilla de Bosco Galteri relicta...Philippi de Marrigniaco militis domini d’Escoyes defuncti et Petrus Oyseleti predicte relicte primogenitus ex predicti defuncti...procreatus pro aliis liberis minoribus ex ipsis similiter procreatis” and “Ingerrannus de Marreigniaco miles dominus de Media Villa predicti defuncti primogenitus pro se, fratre sororbusque suis germanis[1071]

Philippe & his first wife had [six or more] children: 

1.         ENGUERRAND [II] de Marigny ([1265/75]-30 Apr 1315, bur [1317] église des chartreux de Vauvert-lès-Paris, transferred [1325/26] to Notre-Dame d’Ecouis).  His estimated birth date reflects the estimated birth date of his oldest son Louis, although judging from the indications of Louis’s youth at the time of his 1309 marriage it is likely that Enguerrand was born in the later part of this range.  Pannetier of Jeanne Queen of France: Enjorrant de Marigni escuier panetier madame la reine de France” acknowledged receiving money from the royal treasury “ou non de monseigneur l’arcevesque de Roan et pour lui” by charter dated 27 May 1299[1072].  Père Anselme says that Enguerrand was “dès l’année 1298...que Pannetier de la Reine[1073].  The birth date of his son Louis suggests that Enguerrand started his career in the household of the queen (who arranged his first marriage, see below) a few years earlier but no document has been identified which throws light on the position he may have held at the time.  Seigneur de Marigny.  Chambellan de France.  Père Anselme states that Enguerrand was created comte de Longueville in May 1301 or May 1305[1074].  This statement is presumably based on the following document, although it makes no mention of any comital title: Philippe IV King of France granted property “in villis de Longavilla et de Longolio, ballivie Calentensis” to “Ingerrannus de Marrigniaco miles et cambellanus noster...suisque heredibus ab eodem et Hauvidi nunc uxorea sua procreatis et procreandis” by charter dated May 1305[1075].  A document dated Jun 1305 granted Enguerrand judicial rights [in] “vicecomitatus que in dicta villa de Longavilla...antiquitus apud Arches[1076].  Enguerrand’s epitaph in Notre-Dame d’Ecouis named him “conte de Longueville[1077], but no indication has been found in any document consulted that he bore this title during his lifetime.  A charter dated 23 Mar 1306 records the settlement of his father’s succession between “domina Petronilla de Bosco Galteri relicta...Philippi de Marrigniaco militis domini d’Escoyes defuncti et Petrus Oyseleti predicte relicte primogenitus ex predicti defuncti...procreatus pro aliis liberis minoribus ex ipsis similiter procreatis” and “Ingerrannus de Marreigniaco miles dominus de Media Villa predicti defuncti primogenitus pro se, fratre sororbusque suis germanis[1078].  “Ingerranus dominus de Marregniaco miles et Cambellanus...Philippi...Regis Francorum” founded Ecouis church, with the consent of “consortis meæ Ælipidis”, for the souls of “...Ioannæ prioris coniugis meæ”, by charter dated Jan 1310[1079].  Charles Comte de Valois and his wife exchanged property with “Engerran de Marreigni chevalier et chambellene du roy de France...et a madame Havys sa femme” by charter dated 22 Jun 1310[1080].  “Ingerrannus dominus de Marrigniaco miles et cambellanus...” founded Notre-Dame d’Ecouis, with the consent of “consortis mee Aelipdis” and in memory of “regine Johanne...ac Johanne prioris consortis mee defuncte”, by charter dated Jan 1311[1081].  Baron de Marigny: Philippe IV King of France united certain properties for “nostre...chevalier et chambellene Engerrans sires de Marreigni” to create “la baronnie de Marreigni” by charter dated Dec 1313[1082].  A continuator of the Chronicle of Guillaume de Nangis records the trial in 1315 of “Enguerannus de Marigniaco miles” on charges of corruption and witchcraft and his subsequent hanging[1083].  The same source records in 1317 that “circa idem tempus” the king permitted the burial of “Engueranni suspensi” at “fratrum Carthusiensium juxta Parisius” where “frater eius Philippus Senonensis archiepiscopus” was already buried[1084].  His body was exhumed and transferred to Notre-Dame d’Ecouis, maybe dated to [1325/26], where his monument was destroyed during the French revolution[1085].  Combault Auteuil notes that “André du Chesne...dans un mémoire MS où il parle d’Enguerran” stated that “depuis sa mort il y eut declaration pour son innocence[1086]m firstly ([1289/95]) JEANNE, daughter of --- (-before 1305).  “Ingerrannus dominus de Marrigniaco miles et cambellanus...” founded Notre-Dame d’Ecouis, with the consent of “consortis mee Aelipdis” and in memory of “regine Johanne...ac Johanne prioris consortis mee defuncte”, by charter dated Jan 1311[1087].  Père Anselme calls her “Jeanne de S. Martin” adding that she was “filleule de la reine Jeanne de Bourgogne [disproved by the Jun 1316 testament quoted below], auprès de laquelle elle avoit été élevée[1088].  The primary source which confirms her family origin has not been identified, although it may be indicated by the following document assuming that Pierre’s relationship with Enguerrand de Marigny was by marriage: Pope Clement V granted dispensation to “Petro de Sancto Martino canonico ecclesie sancti Amati Duacensis, Attrebatensis dyocesis” for three years’ study while continuing to hold his ecclesiastical posts, at the request of “Ingerranni domini de Marrigniaco pro te nepote suo”, by charter dated 24 Aug 1313[1089].  Louis X King of France, in his testament dated Jun 1316, bequeathed property to “Loys de Marreigni nostre filleul” in view of service provided to his mother by “Jeanne mere de Loys de Marreigni”, whose marriage to “Enguerran de Marreigni” the king’s mother had arranged, and considering “la grant infortune qui est avenue audit Loys et aux autres enfans[1090]m secondly (before May 1305) HAWISE [Alix] de Mons[-sur-Seine], daughter of --- (-after 1348).  Philippe IV King of France granted property “in villis de Longavilla et de Longolio, ballivie Calentensis” to “Ingerrannus de Marrigniaco miles et cambellanus noster...suisque heredibus ab eodem et Hauvidi nunc uxorea sua procreatis et procreandis” by charter dated May 1305[1091].  Her family origin is indicated by the 3 Jul 1310 charter quoted below.  Régnier suggests that “Mons” was “la seigneurie de Mons-sur-Seine[1092].  “Ingerranus dominus de Marregniaco miles et Cambellanus...Philippi...Regis Francorum” founded Ecouis church, with the consent of “consortis meæ Ælipidis”, for the souls of “...Ioannæ prioris coniugis meæ”, by charter dated Jan 1310[1093].  Charles Comte de Valois and his wife exchanged property with “Engerran de Marreigni chevalier et chambellene du roy de France...et a madame Havys sa femme” by charter dated 22 Jun 1310[1094].  Philippe IV King of France confirmed that “Engerran de Marreigni nostre...chevalier et chambellene et Hays de Mons sa fame” had granted “la chastellenie de Guellefontaines...” to “Loys son ainzné fils né du mariage de lui et de Jehane jadis sa fame” by charter dated 3 Jul 1310[1095].  “Ingerrannus dominus de Marrigniaco miles et cambellanus...” founded Notre-Dame d’Ecouis, with the consent of “consortis mee Aelipdis” and in memory of “regine Johanne...ac Johanne prioris consortis mee defuncte”, by charter dated Jan 1311[1096].  She was named in the 1348 document cited below under her son Raoul.  Enguerrrand [II] & his first wife had [three or more] children: 

a)         LOUIS de Marigny ([1289/95]-1328).  His parentage is confirmed in his marriage contract dated 14 Dec 1309 quoted below, when Louis was still a minor.  Some indication of his age is provided by the following document: Philippe IV King of France notified the emancipation by “Ingerrannnus de Marreignyaco...cambellanus noster” of “Ludovicum primogenitum filium suum, uxoratum, majorem quatuordecim annis, minorem tamen vigintiuno” by charter dated 3 Jul 1310[1097].  The wording of this document suggests the likelihood that Louis was born in the later part of the date range indicated above.  Philippe IV King of France confirmed that “Engerran de Marreigni nostre...chevalier et chambellene et Hays de Mons sa fame” had granted “la chastellenie de Guellefontaines...” to “Loys son ainzné fils né du mariage de lui et de Jehane jadis sa fame” by charter dated 3 Jul 1310[1098].  “Yde dame de Croisilles, Loys de Marreigny et Roberte sa fame fille de ladite dame” appointed “monseigneur Guy d’Eskaencourt frere a moi dessus dite Ydain, monseigneur Gile de Clari, monseigneur Guillaume de Villers chevaliers et madame Jehanne fame dudit monseigneur Gile, sereur a moy devant dite Ydain” as proxies to request royal approval of a loan to Enguerrand de Marigny by charter dated 11 Nov 1311[1099].  Louis X King of France, in his testament dated Jun 1316, bequeathed property to “Loys de Marreigni nostre filleul” in view of service provided to his mother by “Jeanne mere de Loys de Marreigni”, whose marriage to “Enguerran de Marreigni” the king’s mother had arranged, and considering “la grant infortune qui est avenue audit Loys et aux autres enfans[1100]m (contract 14 Dec 1309) as her first husband, ROBERTE de Beaumetz, daughter of GILLES [IV] de Beaumetz & his wife Ida de Croisilles (-1352).  Her parentage and first marriage are confirmed by the following document: “Mahault comtesse d’Artois et de Bourgoigne...” attested the marriage contract between “Enguerran sire de Marigny et chambellan Monsieur le Roy de France...Louys ainsné filz dudict Monsieur Enguerran” and “Noble Dame Yde de Croisilles...Damoiselle Roberte fille jadis à Monsieur Gilles de Beaumez et de ladicte Madame Yde”, with the consent of “Noble Homme Robert chastelain de Bapaumes et Seigneur de Beaumez et de Madame Ysabel sa femme ayeul et ayeule de ladicte Damoiselle Roberte”, by charter dated 14 Dec 1309[1101].  She married secondly ([1328]) as his second wife, Guy [IX] Mauvoisin Seigneur de Rosny.  This second marriage is confirmed by a document of the Parlement de Paris dated 23 Nov 1336 which maintained security against “Louis de Marigny chevalier premier mari de la femme du sire de Rosny[1102].  Louis & his wife had [two children]: 

i)          IDE de Marigny (-Sep 1391, bur [Ecouis Notre-Dame]).  Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage, says that she was “fille unique” and “élevée auprês de la reine de Navarre”, adds that her uncles arranged her marriage in 1348, and that she died childless in Sep 1391[1103].  Regnier indicates that the couple’s marriage contract was dated 19 Oct 1348[1104].  If the marriage of her parents-in-law is correctly dated to [1334] (as suggested by Père Anselme), Ide must have been several years older than her husband.  Regnier quotes an 18th century genealogical note which indicates that Ide was buried at Notre-Dame d’Ecouis near [her great-uncle] Jean de Marigny Archbishop of Rouen[1105].  He also cites a reference to her testament dated 25 May 1391, the text of which has apparently been lost[1106].  Regnier cites an “arrêt du Parlement” dated 23 Dec 1394 concerning the succession of “Ide de Marigny” but provides no details[1107]m (contract 19 Oct 1348) JEAN [III] de Melun, son of JEAN [II] de Melun Vicomte de Melun, Comte de Tancarville & his wife Jeanne Crespin (-[1382/85]).  He succeeded his father in 1382 as Vicomte de Melun, Comte de Tancarville. 

ii)         [MARGUERITE de Marigny .  Père Anselme records her parentage (citing “A. du Chesne”, without any precise citation reference) and states that she married, as his first wife, Robert [IV] d’Harcourt Seigneur de Beaumesnil, son of Robert [III] d’Harcourt Seigneur de Beaumesnil & his wife Jeanne de Prunelay dame de Bullon[1108].  However, Anselme records “Marguerite Mauvoisin...fille de Guy Mauvoisin seigneur de Rosny...et de Roberte de Baumés chastelaine de Bapaume” as Robert’s second wife which, if he was correct about the first marriage, would mean that she was his deceased first wife’s half-sister.  A Papal dispensation for such a second marriage would presumably have been difficult to obtain.  In addition, no indication has been found of the descendants of Robert [IV]’s first wife inheriting part of the Beaumetz properties from Roberte de Beaumetz, wife of Louis de Marigny.  Until a primary source comes to light, it is suggested that Marguerite’s supposed parentage and marriage should be treated with caution and the identity of the first wife of Robert [IV] d’Harcourt considered as unknown.] 

b)         [two or more] children (-after Jun 1316).  The other children of Enguerrand de Marigny are referred to in the testament of Louis X King of France quoted above and participated in the bequest to their brother Louis.  Their participation in this bequest, made in consideration of the service provided by Louis’s mother to the king’s mother, suggests that they too must have been born from Enguerrand’s first marriage.  The primary source which confirms the number of these children has not been identified. 

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

c)         ISABELLE de Marigny (before 1302-after 1323).  Philippe IV King of France confirmed the marriage contract between “Johanna domina de Tanquarvilla mater Guillelmi de Tanquarvilla filii quondam Roberti cambellani domini de Tanquarvilla...dicti Guillelmi” and “Ysabellem filiam...Ingerranni domini de Marrignyaco militis et cambellani nostri...qui ont ja passé sept ans”, naming “...monseigneur Drieu de Mellou pour lui et pour son pere, monseigneur Regnaut vidame d’Amiens, monseigneur Girart et Ferris ses freres, monseigneur Jehan Malet seigneur de Guerarville, Jehan et Guillaume ses fieus, Robert Bertran, monseigneur Guillaume Bertran...” as present for the marriage contract 23 Oct 1309, by charter dated 18 Nov 1309[1109].  Her age indicated in this contract suggests that Isabelle could have been from either her father’s first or second marriage.  Philippe IV King of France confirmed the marriage in another charter dated Feb 1310[1110].  Her second marriage is recorded by Père Anselme[1111].  Anselme records that Isabelle de Marigny “demandoit sa dot sur la terre de Tancarville en 1323[1112].  The primary source on which this information is based has not been identified.  m firstly (contract 23 Oct 1309, before Feb 1310) GUILLAUME [VI] de Tancarville, son of ROBERT de Tancarville & his wife Jeanne Mauvoisin (before 1302-[1310/23].  m secondly HUGUES d’Auxy Seigneur de Dompierre, son of JEAN Seigneur d’Auxy & his wife Isabelle de Craon (-after 1337). 

Enguerrand [II] & his second wife had [two or more] children: 

d)         [two or more] children .  The existence of at least two children born to Enguerrand’s second marriage is confirmed by the following document:  Pope Clement V granted indulgence to “Ingerranno domino de Marrignyaco” to enable “uxori tue ac tuis et eius filiis ex te et ipsa natis...necnon illi quem ex quondam Johanna priore uxore tua” to be buried eventually at Notre-Dame d’Ecouis by charter dated 29 Dec 1312[1113]

e)         RAOUL de Marigny (-after 1348).  Seigneur de Mons.  L’abbé Lebeuf (in 1739/43?) recorded that “Jacques de Pacy [qui] avoit un château à Ablon” settled a dispute with “Alix femme d’Enguerrand de Marigny et Raoul son fils, Seigneur de Mons” by charter dated 1348[1114]

2.         PHILIPPE de Marigny (-1316, bur Carthusian church near Paris)Bishop of Cambrai 1306.  Archbishop of Sens 1309.  A continuator of the Chronicle of Guillaume de Nangis records the dedication of the church of Ecouis by the Papal legate in 1313 in the presence of “deux freres d’Enguerran de Marigny, Philippes archevesque de Sens et Jean evesque de Beauvais[1115].  A continuator of the Chronicle of Guillaume de Nangis records the death in 1316 of “Philippo de Marigniaco fratre Engueranni...archiepiscopo Senonensis” and the succession of “Guillermus vicecomitis Melduni filius[1116].  His place of burial is confirmed by the continuator of the Chronicle of Guillaume de Nangis who records in 1317 that “circa idem tempus” the king permitted the burial of [his brother] “Engueranni suspensi” at “fratrum Carthusiensium juxta Parisius” where “frater eius Philippus Senonensis archiepiscopus” was already buried[1117]

3.         JEAN de Marigny (-1351, bur Ecouis Notre-Dame)Bishop of Beauvais 1312.  A continuator of the Chronicle of Guillaume de Nangis records the death in 1312 of “Simon prius Noviomensis sed nunc Belvacensis episcopus” and the succession of “Johannes de Marigniaco frater Engueranni cantor Parisiensis ecclesiæ[1118].  A continuator of the Chronicle of Guillaume de Nangis records the dedication of the church of Ecouis by the Papal legate in 1313 in the presence of “deux freres d’Enguerran de Marigny, Philippes archevesque de Sens et Jean evesque de Beauvais[1119].  Philippe VI King of France noted that “Jean de Marregny evesque de Beauvez et Robert son frere” had bought property from “nostre...cousin le Dauphin de Vienne” and confirmed their purchase “pour considération des bons...services que nostre dit conseiller et Robert nous ont faits en nos guerres de Gascogne en la compagnie de nostre...fils” by charter dated 2 Mar 1340[1120]Archbishop of Rouen [1346/47].  His ecclesiastical appointments are listed in his epitaph at Notre-Dame d’Ecouis[1121]

4.         [two or more] daughters .  A charter dated 23 Mar 1306 records the settlement of his succession between “domina Petronilla de Bosco Galteri relicta...Philippi de Marrigniaco militis domini d’Escoyes defuncti et Petrus Oyseleti predicte relicte primogenitus ex predicti defuncti...procreatus pro aliis liberis minoribus ex ipsis similiter procreatis” and “Ingerrannus de Marreigniaco miles dominus de Media Villa predicti defuncti primogenitus pro se, fratre sororbusque suis germanis[1122]

5.         ROBERT de Marigny .  Pope Clement V granted dispensation to “Roberti de Marrignyaco scolastici ecclesie Aurelianensis” for three [extended to seven by another similar document] years’ study while continuing to hold his ecclesiastical posts, at the request of “Ingerranni domini de Marrignyaco militis fratris sui, cambellani...regis...”, by charter dated 21 Apr 1312[1123].  The reference to study suggests that Robert was still a youth at the time, so may have been his father’s youngest child by his first wife.  Philippe VI King of France noted that “Jean de Marregny evesque de Beauvez et Robert son frere” had bought property from “nostre...cousin le Dauphin de Vienne” and confirmed their purchase “pour considération des bons...services que nostre dit conseiller et Robert nous ont faits en nos guerres de Gascogne en la compagnie de nostre...fils” by charter dated 2 Mar 1340[1124]

Philippe & his second wife had children: 

6.         PIERRE de Marigny Oyselet” .  A charter dated 23 Mar 1306 records the settlement of his succession between “domina Petronilla de Bosco Galteri relicta...Philippi de Marrigniaco militis domini d’Escoyes defuncti et Petrus Oyseleti predicte relicte primogenitus ex predicti defuncti...procreatus pro aliis liberis minoribus ex ipsis similiter procreatis” and “Ingerrannus de Marreigniaco miles dominus de Media Villa predicti defuncti primogenitus pro se, fratre sororbusque suis germanis[1125]

7.         [two or more] children ([after 1290]-).  The existence of two or more other children born to Philippe’s second wife is confirmed by the document, all minors at the time: a charter dated 23 Mar 1306 records the settlement of his succession between “domina Petronilla de Bosco Galteri relicta...Philippi de Marrigniaco militis domini d’Escoyes defuncti et Petrus Oyseleti predicte relicte primogenitus ex predicti defuncti...procreatus pro aliis liberis minoribus ex ipsis similiter procreatis” and “Ingerrannus de Marreigniaco miles dominus de Media Villa predicti defuncti primogenitus pro se, fratre sororbusque suis germanis[1126]

 

 

 

H.      SEIGNEURS de SAINT-SAËNS

 

 

LAMBERT de Saint-Saëns, son of RICHARD Vicomte de Rouen & his wife --- .  Guillaume of Jumièges records that “nepotes...plures...Gunnor...earum...tertia” married “Richardo vicecomiti Rothomagensi, patri...Lamberti de Sancto Sidonio[1127]

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

Lambert & his wife had one child: 

1.         HELIE de Saint-Saëns (-after 1128).  Orderic Vitalis records that "Rodbertus dux" married "filiam suam…de pellice" to "Heliæ filio Lamberti de Sancto Sidonio", and granted him "Archas cum Buris et adjacente provincia" and apponted him to defend "Calegiique [error for Talegii?] comitatum", adding that he always remained loyal to Duke Robert under Kings William II and Henry I, braving persecution and disinheritance[1128].  Henry I King of England entrusted him with the upbringing of his wife's half-brother Guillaume after his father was captured in 1106[1129].   King Henry confiscated his castle and gave it to William de Warenne after Hélie fled with his ward whose arrest had been ordered by the king[1130].  Orderic Vitalis records that Guillaume granted him Montreuil-sur-Mer after his installation as Count of Flanders in Mar 1128[1131]m [firstly] ([1087/90]) --- de Normandie, illegitimate daughter of ROBERT III Duke of Normandy & his mistress --- ([1072/78]-).  Orderic Vitalis records that "Rodbertus dux" married "filiam suam…de pellice" to "Heliæ filio Lamberti de Sancto Sidonio", and granted him "Archas cum Buris et adjacente provincia"[1132].  Her birth date range is estimated on the assumption that she was in her early teenage years when she married.  [m secondly ([1106]) --- of England, illegitimate daughter of HENRY I King of England & his mistress ---.  Orderic Vitalis records that King Henry I married "Heliæ Sancto Sidonio" to "filiam de pellice sibi natam" and granted him "Arcacensem comitatum"[1133].  This passage echoes the earlier reference in the same source to the marriage of Hélie de Saint-Saëns to the illegitimate daughter of Robert III Duke of Normandy, brother of King Henry, and the grant to him of Arques[1134].  It is possible that Orderic has been confused about this supposed second marriage, especially as in the former passage he emphasises that Hélie was always loyal to Duke Robert, and that the second passage does not refer to a second marriage.] 

 

 

2.         MATHILDE de Saint-Saëns (-after 1143).  King Stephen notified the right of "Mathild[is] de Sancto Sidonio cognate mea" to hold the manor of Stisted, Essex from the see of Canterbury by charter dated to [1143/52][1135]

 

 

Two brothers, parents not known.  They are not referred to as “de Saint-Saëns” in the charter which is quoted below.  However, Saint-Saëns is the object of the document and the name Hélie links with Hélie de Saint-Saëns who is named above.

I.        SEIGNEURS de SAINT-VALERY

 

 

Le Prévost identifies Saint-Valéry as “Saint-Valéri-sur-Somme, dont les seigneurs n’étaient que les avoués de l’abbaye fondée par Clotaire en 613, et à laquelle la suzerainté du lieu appartenait”, adding that it was from this port that the fleet left to conquer England[1139]

 

 

GILBERT, son of --- .  Avocat de Saint-Valéry.  Orderic Vitalis records that “Gulbertus cognomento advocatus de Sancto Gualerico” married “filiam Ricardi ducis[1140]

m PAPIA, illegitimate daughter of RICHARD I Comte [de Normandie] & his mistress ---.  Guillaume of Jumièges records that Richard had two daughters “ex concubinis”, but does not name them[1141].  Orderic Vitalis records that “Gulbertus cognomento advocatus de Sancto Gualerico” married “filiam Ricardi ducis[1142]It is not clear from this text to which duke Richard he refers.  In a later passage the same source confirms her name as Papia, naming [her grandson] "...Gualterius, comes de Sancto Gualerico, Ricardi iunioris, ducis Normannorum, ex filia, nomine Papia, nepos..."[1143].  Some authors have taken this to refer to Duke Richard III, presumably inspired by Robert de Torigny who names "Papiam uxorem Walteri de Sanct Walerico et Aeliz uxorem Ranulfi vicecomitis de Baioeis" as Richard III’s two daughters[1144].  That is, however, chronologically impossible assuming that it is correct, as asserted by Orderic Vitalis[1145], that Papia's son, Richard [de Heugleville], helped Guillaume II Duke of Normandy in the 1054 rebellion when he was already old enough for Geoffroy de Neufmarché to be his son-in-law (see below): the chronology therefore suggests that Papia must have been born in the later 10th century, in which case she was the daughter of Richard I.  She could therefore have been his second unnamed daughter recorded by Guillaume of Jumièges.  This suggestion appears confirmed by another passage in Orderic Vitalis which names “Bernardum patrem Gualterii de Sancto-Gualerico et Ricardum de Huglevilla” as the sons of “Gulbertus cognomento advocatus de Sancto Gualerico” and his wife “filiam Ricardi ducis”, adding that “Ricardus” fought for “duci Normanniæ avunculo...suo” who arranged his marriage[1146].  In this text, “duci Normanniæ” is not named, but from the context he was probably Richard [II] who would have been “avunculo” of Richard [de Heugleville] if his mother had been Richard I’s daughter. 

Gilbert & his wife had two children: 

1.         BERNARD [I] de Saint-Valéry (-[after 1066]).  Orderic Vitalis names “Bernardum patrem Gualterii de Sancto-Gualerico et Ricardum de Huglevilla” as the son of “Gulbertus cognomento advocatus de Sancto Gualerico” and his wife “filiam Ricardi ducis[1147].  The Chronique de Normandie, based on le Roman de Rou, names "le sire de S. Wallery" among those who took part in the conquest of England in 1066[1148], although the accuracy of this source is doubtful.  m ---.  The name of Bernard's wife is not known.  Bernard [I] & his wife had one child: 

a)         GAUTHIER de Saint-Valéry (-after [1098]).  Orderic Vitalis names “Bernardum patrem Gualterii de Sancto-Gualerico et Ricardum de Huglevilla” as the sons of “Gulbertus cognomento advocatus de Sancto Gualerico” and his wife “filiam Ricardi ducis[1149].  Domesday Book records that “Walter de Saint-Valery” held Isleworth and Hampton in Middlesex; Creeting in Suffolk[1150].  William of Tyre names "Walterius de Sancto Valerius Bernardusque filius eius" among those present at the capture of Nikaia in 1097[1151].  Murray suggests that Gauthier de Saint-Valéry and his son Bernard were the same persons who are named by Albert of Aix as "…Walterus de Domedart et eius filius Bernardus…" among those who took part in the siege of Nikaia[1152], suggesting that "Domedart" indicates a toponym derived from the saint’s name "domnus Medardus" and that it could indicate Domart-en-Ponthieu[1153].  Albert of Aix records "…Reinardus de Hamersbach, Walterus de Domedart" as those who guarded Adhémar Bishop of Le Puy into the mountains towards the port of Simeon after finding the holy lance, dated to mid-1098 from the context[1154]m [firstly] PAPIA, illegitimate daughter of RICHARD III Duke of Normandy & his mistress --- (before 1027-).  Robert de Torigny names "Papiam uxorem Walteri de Sanct Walerico et Aeliz uxorem Ranulfi Vicecomitis de Baioeis" as the two daughters of Duke Richard III (see below)[1155].  If this passage is correct, the couple were second cousins.  No mention has been found of a Papal dispensation for the marriage.  Her date of birth suggests that she would have been Gauthier’s first wife.  [m [secondly] [HODIERNE [Ermesende] de Montlhéry, daughter of GUY "le Grand" Seigneur de Montlhéry & his wife Hodierne de Gometz-la-Ferté (-[25 Mar] ----).  The Historia of Monk Aimon names "Milonem de Brayo et Guidonem Rubeum, Comitissam quoque Reiteste, et Bonam-vecinam de Pontibus, Elizabeth etiam uxorem Joscelini de Corteciniaco, insuper dominam de Puisat, et dominam de S. Galerico" as the children of "Guidonem" and his wife[1156].  The identity of Hodierne’s husband is uncertain, but from a chronological point of view he could have been Gauthier.  The necrology of Longpont records the death "IX Kal Aug" of "Guido institutor hujus loci. Guido vicecomes; Adalaidis comitissa, uxor; Wido filius eius", a supplementary section adding a further reference to the anniversary of “donni Guidonis senioris hujus loci institutoris et Guidonis comitis filii eius...IX Kal Aug” as well as the anniversary of “donne Hodierne uxoris ipsius Guidonis senioris et Ermensendis de Sancto Galarico filie amborum...VII Kal Apr” with a reference to her visit to Cluny where “beato Hugoni abbati” gave her “calicem...aureum[1157].  In another passage, the necrology of Longpont records the death "VIII Kal Apr" of "domine Hodierne de Sancto Galarico"[1158].]  Gauthier & his [first/second] wife had one child: 

i)          BERNARD [II] de Saint-Valéry .  William of Tyre names "Walterius de Sancto Valerius Bernardusque filius eius" among those present at the capture of Nikaia in 1097[1159].  Orderic Vitalis also names him as son of Gauthier, with whom he was present at the capture of Nikaia in 1097[1160]

2.         RICHARD de Saint-Valéry .  Orderic Vitalis names “Bernardum patrem Gualterii de Sancto-Gualerico et Ricardum de Huglevilla” as the sons of “Gulbertus cognomento advocatus de Sancto Gualerico” and his wife “filiam Ricardi ducis”, adding that “Ricardus” fought for “duci Normanniæ [Richard [II]?] avunculo...suo” who arranged his marriage to “nobilem Adam, Herluini senis de Huglevilla relictam, cum toto patrimonio eius[1161].  Orderic Vitalis records that “Ricardum de Huglevilla” built “super Sedam in vico qui olim Isnellivilla...burgum...Alfagium” [Auffay] and that “tempore Guillelmi juvenis, filii Rodberti ducis” Richard held out against “Guillelmus de Archis” and his rebels “in castello suo secus ecclesiam Sancti-Albini”, dated to [1054][1162]m as her second husband, ADA, widow of HERLUIN de Heugleville, daughter of ---.  Orderic Vitalis names “Bernardum patrem Gualterii de Sancto-Gualerico et Ricardum de Huglevilla”, adding that “Ricardus” fought for “duci Normanniæ avunculo...suo” who arranged his marriage to “nobilem Adam, Herluini senis de Huglevilla relictam, cum toto patrimonio eius[1163].  Richard & his wife had [three] children: 

a)         GILBERT d'Auffay (-15 Aug 1087, bur Sainte-Marie d’Ouche).  Orderic Vitalis records that “generosus in Normannia miles...Gulbertus Ricardi de Huglevilla filius” donated “ecclesiam S. Mariæ de Alfagio” to Ouche Saint-Evroul, with the consent of “Beatricis conjugis suæ”, dated 1079, witnessed by “Bernardus de Novo-Mercato...Rodbertus de Huglevilla...[1164]

b)         ADA de Heugleville .  Her parentage and marriage are indicated by Orderic Vitalis who records that “generosus in Normannia miles...Gulbertus Ricardi de Huglevilla filius” donated “ecclesiam S. Mariæ de Alfagio” to Ouche Saint-Evroul, soon after “Drogo nepos suus” [identified as Dreux de Neufmarché, her son] left military life and became a monk at Ouche[1165].  Orderic Vitalis records that “Ricardum de Huglevilla” held out against “Guillelmus de Archis” and his rebels “in castello suo secus ecclesiam Sancti-Albini” with the help of “Goisfredus gener eius et Hugo de Morio-Monte, Turchetilli de Novo-Mercato filii”, dated to [1054][1166].  She is named as daughter of Richard by Orderic Vitalis, who also names her husband who helped his father-in-law during the rebellion of Guillaume d'Arques[1167]m (before 1054) GEOFFROY de Neufmarché, son of TURCHETIL de Neufmarché & his wife ---. 

c)         [ROBERT de Heugleville (-after 1079).  Orderic Vitalis records that “generosus in Normannia miles...Gulbertus Ricardi de Huglevilla filius” donated “ecclesiam S. Mariæ de Alfagio” to Ouche Saint-Evroul, with the consent of “Beatricis conjugis suæ”, dated 1079, witnessed by “Bernardus de Novo-Mercato...Rodbertus de Huglevilla...[1168].  “Rodbertus de Huglevilla” has not been identified.  Two possibilities: either he was the donor’s uterine brother by his mother’s first marriage or he was the donor’s full brother.]

BERNARD [II] de Saint-Valéry, son of GAUTHIER de Saint-Valéry & his [first/second wife Papia/Hodierne [Ermesende] de Montlhèry] .  William of Tyre names "Walterius de Sancto Valerius Bernardusque filius eius" among those present at the capture of Nikaia in 1097[1173].  Orderic Vitalis also names him as son of Gauthier, with whom he was present at the capture of Nikaia in 1097[1174].  Murray suggests that Gauthier de Saint-Valéry and his son Bernard were the same persons who are named by Albert of Aix as "…Walterus de Domedart et eius filius Bernardus…" among those who took part in the siege of Nikaia[1175], suggesting that "Domedart" indicates a toponym derived from the saint’s name "domnus Medardus" and that it could indicate Domart-en-Ponthieu[1176]Domesday Descendants records that "Bernard de Saint-Valéry and Dommard and Matilda comitissa" donated property to Berteaucourt[1177].  The primary source which confirms that he was the same person as the Bernard de Saint-Valéry named by William of Tyre and Orderic Vitalis has not yet been identified. 

m [as her second husband,] MATHILDE, [widow of --- Comte,] daughter of ---.  Domesday Descendants records that "Bernard de Saint-Valéry and Dommard and Matilda comitissa" donated property to Berteaucourt[1178].  It is likely that Mathilde retained her title "comitissa" after the death of a first husband who was comte, although the primary source which confirms that this is correct has not yet been identified. 

Bernard [II] & his wife had one child: 

1.         RENAUD [I] de Saint-Valéry (-5 Aug [after 1163]).  According to Domesday Descendants, Renaud de Saint-Valéry was the son of "Bernard de Saint-Valéry and grandson of Domesday’s Walter de Saint-Valéry" but no corresponding primary source is cited[1179].  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.   The Historia Fundationis of Kingswood priory in Wiltshire records that King Stephen granted illi de Kingswode Haseldene…terras Reginaldo de sancto Walerico” to "Johanne de sancto Johanne", in the early years of his reign[1180].  Steward [Dapifer] of Normandy from [1146] to [1153].  "…Raginaldo de Sancto Walerico dapiffero…" witnessed the charter dated to [1146/50] under which "G. dux Norm et comes And et H. filius eius" confirmed the rights of the abbey of Fécamp[1181].  "…Raginaldo de Sancto Walerico…" witnessed the charter dated to [1151/52] under which Henri Duke of Normandy ordered an enquiry about "la banlieue de Cambremer" with a view to its use being transferred to Bayeux abbey as it had been in the time of "Ricardus filius Sansonis" [Richard de Douvres] during the reign of King Henry I[1182].  "…Rainaldo de Sancto Walerico dapifero meo…" witnessed the charter dated to [Sep 1151/Jan 1153] under which "Henricus dux Norm et comes Andeg" donated property to the abbey of Mortemer[1183].  Henry Duke of Normandy confirmed a donation to Fontevraud abbey by "Raginaldus de Santo Walerico…sive filius eius Bernardus" to Fontevraud abbey, in the presence of "patris mei et mea fratrisque mei Willelmi" and with the consent of "Bernardus eius filius", by charter dated to [Sep 1151/Jan 1153] witnessed by "…Mathilde amita mea Fontis Ebraudi abbatissa"[1184].  The cartulary of Cercamp includes a charter of Bernard de Saint-Valéry which recalls the pilgrimage of "pater meus" (Renaud [I] de Saint-Valéry) to Jerusalem"[1185].  Renaud [I] de Saint-Valéry is recorded in one source as Lord of Harenc, but it is not at all clear that this can be correct.  The precise date of Renaud’s arrival in Palestine is not known.  "…Rainaudus de S. Valerio…" witnessed the charter dated 1159 under which Mélisende Queen of Jerusalem donated property to the leprosarium of St Lazarus[1186].  "…Rainaldus de S. Gallerico…" witnessed the charter dated 1160 under which "Hugo de Ybelino dominus Ramathensis" donated property to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem[1187].  Other sources name Renaud [I] de Saint-Valéry in England and France between [1160/61] and 1163, suggesting that he left Palestine soon after witnessing the charter dated 1160.  The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Reginaldus de Sancto Valerico c m - l milites" in Oxfordshire in [1160/61][1188], and "Reginaldo de Sancto Valerico i m" in Berkshire in [1161/62][1189] (although these entries do not prove that he was present in England at the time).  "…Raginaldo de Sancto Walerico…" witnessed a charter dated 1162 under which Henry II King of England donated the forest of Hogues to Fécamp abbey[1190].  Robert de Torigny records that "Rotrocus episcopus Ebroicensis et Rainaldus de Sancto Walerio" recognised the rights of Henry II King of England in Normandy in 1163[1191].  Henry II King of England addressed a writ to "R[otrou] bishop of Evreux and R[eginald] de Sancto Walerico" confirming the possession of the church of Lion by the canons of Briweton[1192].  In contrast to this, we have a single primary source which indicates that Renaud de Saint-Valéry was Lord of Harenc in 1158:  Robert de Torigny records that "Balduinus rex Jerosolimitanus" captured "Cæsaream magnam Palestinæ" near Antioch, and also "castrum Harenc", adding that he granted the latter to "Rainaldo de Sancto Valerico", dated to 1158 from the context[1193].  This source contradicts the Chronicle of Patriarch Michel le Grand which records that "Hérim" was captured by "le roi de Jérusalem" who gave it "au fils de Djoslin qui portait le même nom que son père et qui était héritier de Romgla" [referring to Joscelin [III] de Courtenay, son of Joscelin [II] Count of Edessa], adding that the latter ravaged Aleppo in revenge for the death of his father but after two years was captured and died in chains (although the sources quoted in  EDESSA indicate that Joscelin [III] did not die at the time)[1194].  William of Tyre does not help much in resolving the conflict between the two texts as he records that Baudouin King of Jerusalem besieged and recaptured "castrum urbi Antiochiæ vicinum" (which is not named in the text, but named "castrum Harenc" in the heading of the relevant chapter) and records that the king restored it to "domino principi, cuius jurisdictionis fuerat", the old French text specifying that "li rois bailla le chastel au conte Renaut, por ce qu’il devoit estre de sa princée" (presumably indicating Renaud de Châtillon Prince of Antioch, as the suzerain of the area), dated to 1157 from the context[1195].  However, the History of Kamel-Altevarykh dates the capture of Joscelin [III] de Courtenay to 1164 when it records that "au mois de ramadhan Nour-eddin Mahmoud" conquered "le château de Harem" from the Franks and that "le prince Boémond souverain d’Antioche, le comte, maître de Tripoli…le fils de Josselin…et le duc" were captured[1196].  If this date is correct, Joscelin probably held Harenc until its capture by Nur ed-Din, which leaves no room at all for Renaud de Saint-Valéry to have been lord of Harenc.  There appears no way of reconciling these texts other than by suggesting that Robert de Torigny was in error and that he had meant to indicate Renaud de Châtillon Prince of Antioch when he named Renaud de Saint-Valéry.  This would be surprising, as otherwise Robert de Torigny appears to be an accurate and reliable source, although it would provide the link to William of Tyre who, as noted above, indicates that the castle was returned to Renaud de Châtillon.  The necrology of Ulterioris Portus monastery records the death "5 Aug" of "Reginaldus de Sancto Walarico et eius uxor"[1197]m [firstly] ---.  The name of Renaud’s [first] wife is not not known.  A possible origin is suggested by the charter dated to [1191/1205] under which her grandson "Thomas de Sancto Walerico" confirmed the donation of "ecclesiam de Tettebyr" to Eynsham abbey made by "R. de Sancto Walerico avi mei", and of "terram de Fines-stokes…ex dono Radulfi Basset et ex concessione R. avi mei"[1198].  This document suggests a relationship with Ralph Basset (see UNTITLED ENGLISH NOBILITY).  It appears unlikely that the mother of Renaud [I] de Saint-Valéry, titled "comitissa", would have been the daughter of such an obscure noble.  The other possibility is that Renaud [I] confirmed the donation to Eynsham in the name of his wife.  m [secondly] ---.  The name of Renaud’s [second] wife is not not known.  The chronology of Renaud’s known children suggests that he married twice: his daughter [Beatrix] died before 1144, whereas his daughter Laure was not married until after 1162.  The necrology of Ulterioris Portus monastery records the death "5 Aug" of "Reginaldus de Sancto Walarico et eius uxor"[1199].  Renaud [I] & his [first] wife had four children: 

a)         BERNARD [III] de Saint-Valéry (-[17 Sep] 1191).  Henry Duke of Normandy confirmed a donation to Fontevraud abbey by "Raginaldus de Santo Walerico…sive filius eius Bernardus" to Fontevraud abbey, in the presence of "patris mei et mea fratrisque mei Willelmi" and with the consent of "Bernardus eius filius", by charter dated to [Sep 1151/Jan 1153] witnessed by "…Mathilde amita mea Fontis Ebraudi abbatissa"[1200].   

-        see below

b)         GAUTHIER de Saint-Valéry (-1171).  Domesday Descendants names "Bernard, Walter later archdeacon of Rouen (d. 1171) and Guy" as the three sons of Renaud de Saint-Valéry, citing the cartulary of Oseney abbey for Gauthier[1201].  Archdeacon of Rouen. 

c)         GUY de Saint-Valéry (-after [1183]).  Domesday Descendants names "Bernard, Walter later archdeacon of Rouen (d. 1171) and Guy" as the three sons of Renaud de Saint-Valéry but does not cite the corresponding primary sources on which this information is based[1202].  "…Widone de Sancto Walerico…" subscribed the charter dated to [1179] under which Henry II King of England confirmed a donation by "Robertus de Fay" to "comiti Willelmo de Maundevilla"[1203].  "…Widone de Sancto Walerico" subscribed the charter dated to [1183/89] under which Henry II King of England confirmed income from the prévôté de Valognes and the forest of Brix for the hospital de la Madeleine[1204]

d)         [BEATRIX] de Saint-Valéry (-before 13 Feb 1144, bur Abbaye de Saint-Jean)Domesday Descendants records that the daughter of Renaud de Saint-Valéry was the mother of "Gerard II de Picquigny vidame d’Amiens", presumably indicating Gérard [II], and cites the cartulary of Oseney[1205].  The chronology for this connection does not appear ideal, assuming that the dates of the members of the Picquigny family are accurately recorded in the present document.  However, a connection (maybe a family relationship) between the Saint-Valéry and Picquigny families is shown by the letter written by Pope Alexander III to Henri Archbishop of Reims, dated 29 Mar 1154, to enforce reparations from "vicedominus Pinciniaco, Bern. de S. Walerico et Gualterius Tyrellus" for the damage which they had caused to the abbey of Saint-Pierre de Selincourt[1206]The wife of Guermond [I] is called Beatrix in secondary sources but the primary source on which this is based, as well as the source which records her date of death and place of burial which are shown above, has not yet been identified.  m GUERMOND [I] de Picquigny Vidame d’Amiens, son of --- (-after 1131).]  

Renaud [I] & his [second] wife had one child: 

e)         LAURE de Saint-Valéry Domesday Descendants records that Renaud de Saint-Valéry was the father of "Laura wife first of John count of Ponthieu, by whom she was repudiated, and secondly of Alleaume de Fontaines" (no source citation)s[1207]m [firstly] (after 1162, [repudiated before 1170]) as his second wife, JEAN [I] Comte de Ponthieu, son of GUY [II] Comte de Ponthieu & his wife Ida --- (-Acre 30 Jun 1191).  [m secondly ALLEAUME de Fontaines, son of ---.] 

 

 

BERNARD [III] de Saint-Valéry, son of RENAUD [I] de Saint-Valéry & his wife --- (-[17 Sep] 1191).  Henry Duke of Normandy confirmed a donation to Fontevraud abbey by "Raginaldus de Santo Walerico…sive filius eius Bernardus" to Fontevraud abbey, in the presence of "patris mei et mea fratrisque mei Willelmi" and with the consent of "Bernardus eius filius", by charter dated to [Sep 1151/Jan 1153] witnessed by "…Mathilde amita mea Fontis Ebraudi abbatissa"[1208]Pope Alexander III wrote to Henri Archbishop of Reims 29 Mar 1154 to enforce reparations from "vicedominus Pinciniaco, Bern. de S. Walerico et Gualterius Tyrellus" for the damage which they had caused to the abbey of Saint-Pierre de Selincourt[1209]"…Bernardo de Sancto Walerico…" subscribed the charter dated to [1155/58] under which Henry II King of England confirmed the foundation of the monastery of Westwood, belonging to Fontevraud, by "Osbertus filius Hugonis et Eustachia de Say mater sua"[1210].  The date of this charter coincides with the journey to Jerusalem of Bernard’s father, and suggests that the latter had delegated control over his lands to his son during his absence.  The cartulary of Cercamp includes a charter of Bernard de Saint-Valéry which recalls the pilgrimage of "pater meus" to Jerusalem"[1211].  Henry II King of England confirmed the donations of "molendina de Hortona et de Suttona et…de Chentona…Toicheham" to Berteaucourt abbey by "Bernardus de Sancto Valarico…et…Raginaldus filius ipsius" by charter dated [1156 or 1172/73], witnessed by "Bernardo de Sancto Valarico…"[1212].  “Bernardus de sancto Walerico” donated the manor of "Wulgariscote" to Godstow nunnery, Oxfordshire, with the consent of "uxoris meæ Avoridis et filiorum meorum Reginaldi, Bernardi et Thomæ", confirmed by Henry II King of England, by undated charter[1213].  The Red Book of the Exchequer refers to "Bernardus de Sancto Valerico 1 l per Hugonem de Sancto Germano" in Oxfordshire in [1171/72][1214].  "Bern de Sancto Walerico" subscribed the charter dated to [May 1175/Mar 1182] under which Henry II King of England confirmed possessions of the abbey of Saint-Valéry[1215].  "…Bernardo de Sancto Walerico…" subscribed the charter dated Feb 1187 under which Henry II King of England granted duty exemptions to the Cistercians of Dunes[1216].  "…Bernardo de Sancto Walerico…" subscribed the charter dated 11 Mar 1186 under which "M…regina Angl, soror Philippi regis Franc" renounced her rights over Gisors[1217].  [The necrology of the church of Eu records the death "17 Sep" of "Bernardus de Sancto Walerico" and his donation of "x marchas argenti" to the church[1218].  It is not known to which Bernard this entry refers.] 

m firstly MATHILDE, daughter of --- (-[1151]).  “Bernardus de sancto Walerico” donated property to Stodely Nunnery, Oxfordshire, for the souls of “Matildis uxoris meæ…et pro meipso et uxore mea Alanora et pro liberis meis” by undated charter[1219]Domesday Descendants states that she "died around 1151" but does not cite the corresponding primary source[1220]

3.         THOMAS de Saint-Valéry (-before 1220).  “Bernardus de sancto Walerico” donated the manor of "Wulgariscote" to Godstow nunnery, Oxfordshire, with the consent of "uxoris meæ Avoridis et filiorum meorum Reginaldi, Bernardi et Thomæ", confirmed by Henry II King of England, by undated charter[1232].  “Thomas de sancto Walerico” confirmed the donation by "Bernardus bonæ memoriæ pater meus" made to Godstow nunnery in Oxfordshire with the consent of Henry II King of England, for the souls of “Edelæ uxoris meæ et Bernardi patris meæ et Anoræ matris meæ”, by undated charter[1233].  The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1194/95], names "Thomas de Sancto Valerico" paying "xx s, i militem" in Hampshire[1234].  "Thomas de Sancto Walerico" confirmed the donation of "ecclesiam de Tettebyr" to Eynsham abbey made by "R. de Sancto Walerico avi mei", and of "terram de Fines-stokes…ex dono Radulfi Basset et ex concessione R. avi mei", by charter dated to [1191/1205][1235].  The Testa de Nevill lists knights who held land in Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, dated to [1208/10]: "Thomas de Sancto Walerico" held "Thornton, sed caput est alibi"[1236].  The agreement between "dominum comitem Pontivi et Monstreoli" and "dominum Thomam de Sancto Waleriaco" is confirmed by charter dated Sep 1209[1237].  An agreement dated 1209 between "dominum comitem" and "dominum Thomam de Sancto Walerico" refers to the marriage of the latter to "domine Edle sororis sue" and also names "Bernardus pater suus"[1238].  The Red Book of the Exchequer records "Thomas de Sancto Walerico" holding one half of one knight’s fee "in Cretinge, quam Walterus de Bulonia tenet de eo" in Norfolk, Suffolk in [1210/12][1239]m ([1191/92]) ADELA de Ponthieu, daughter of JEAN [I] Comte de Ponthieu & his third wife Beatrix de Saint-Pol (-after 18 Oct 1241).  Letters dated 1178 confirm the marriage of "comes Pontivi filiam suam Edelam" and "Renaldo filio Bernardi de Sancto Walerico", with the right of substitution in case either party died before the marriage[1240].  The death of Renaud before the marriage took place is indicated by the charter dated 1205 under which "Thomas de Sancto Walarico" promised service to "fratrem meum et dominum Willelmum comitem Pontivi"[1241].  Her marriage is confirmed by the undated charter under which her husband “Thomas de sancto Walerico” confirmed the donation by "Bernardus bonæ memoriæ pater meus" made to Godstow nunnery in Oxfordshire with the consent of Henry II King of England, for the souls of “Edelæ uxoris meæ et Bernardi patris meæ et Anoræ matris meæ[1242].  Thomas & his wife had one child: 

a)         ELEONORE de Saint-Valéry (1192-15 Nov 1250).  Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by a charter of Stodely Nunnery, Oxfordshire which records donations by Robertus comes Drocarum et dominus de sancto Walerico et Alanora uxor eiusdem comitis filia et hæres Thomæ de sancto Walerico” Dec 1226, and after her husband’s death by “Alanora comitissa Drocarum et domina de sancto Walerico” in Aug 1234[1243]Dame de Saint-Valéry.  A charter dated Dec 1220 issued by "Robertus comes Drucocensis, dominus Sancti Walerici et…Aaenors uxor eiusdem" relates to rights of navigation[1244].  “Henricus dominus Soyliaci” acknowledged owing “quatuor millia librarum Parisiensium” to Louis IX King of France for the repurchase of “comitatus Drocensis et terre…uxoris mee comitisse Drocensis” by charter dated Jan [1238/39][1245].  “Henricus de Soliaco dominus et Aanor comitissa Drocarum et domina Sancti-Walerici uxor mea” recorded their agreement with “Johannem filium Roberti condam comitis Drocarum”, including “super ballio duorum fratrum suorum iuniorem...Roberti et Petri” and “hereditate...in possessione...Robertus pater suus”, by charter dated 27 Apr 1240[1246].  The necrology of the Frères Prêcheurs de Chartres records the death "15 Nov" of "Aanor comitissa Drocarum et domina Sancti Valerici"[1247]m firstly (1210) ROBERT [III] "Gasteblé" Comte de Dreux et de Braine, son of ROBERT [II] Comte de Dreux & his second wife Yolande de Coucy (1185-Braine 3 Mar 1234, bur Braine).  m secondly (1237) as his second wife, HENRI [I] Seigneur de Sully, son of ARCHAMBAUD [IV] Seigneur de Sully & his [first/second/third] wife --- (-after 1248). 

4.         HENRI de Saint-Valéry (-after 1223).  Domesday Descendants names "Henry" as a younger son of Bernard [III] de Saint-Valéry, citing a charter dated 1191[1248].  Henry III King of England granted letters of conduct to "Henricus de Sancto Walerico" dated [May] 1217[1249].  Bracton records a claim, dated 1223, by "Henricus de S. Walerico" against "Stephanum de Wlurichestona" concerning "terre…in Hectona"[1250]

5.         MATHILDE de Saint-Valéry (-Corfe Castle 1210).  The 13th century Histoire des ducs de Normandie et des rois d’Angleterre names "fille fu Bernart de Saint-Waleri…Mehaus" as the wife of "Guillaumes de Brayouse", commenting that she once boasted about her cows to "Bauduin le conte d’Aubemalle son neveu"[1251].  A manuscript which narrates the descents of the founders of Lanthony Abbey names “Matildis de S. Walerico, quondam uxoris Willielmi de Brewes” when recording the marriage of her daughter[1252].  "Willelmus de Braosa dominus de Brechen" donated property to Flaxley Abbey, Gloucestershire, for the souls of "uxoris meæ Matildis de Sancto Walerico et puerorum nostrorum", by undated charter, witnessed by "Willelmo et Philippo filiis meis"[1253].  The Annals of Waverley record that “Matildis matrona nobilis cognomento de la Haie, uxor Willelmi de Braose” was captured with “Willelmo filio suo milite…in Galwaitha” in 1210 and starved to death “apud Windeshores[1254].  Matthew Paris records that "uxorem Willelmi de Brause et Willelmum filium eius cum uxore sua" were captured in 1210 at the siege of Meath, but escaped, were captured again “in insula de May”, and imprisoned at Windsor, in a later passage recording that all four died “apud Windleshores[1255].  A manuscript which narrates the descents of the founders of Lanthony Abbey records that Mathildis uxor eius et Willielmus filius eorum” (referring to William, son of Willelmo Brewes” and his wife “Berta…comitis Milonis secunda filia”) were imprisoned by King John and died in prison[1256].  The Annals of Dunstable record that “Willelmum de Brause juniorem et sororem eius et Matildam matrem eius” were captured in Ireland in 1210 by King John, adding that they later died in prison[1257].  The 13th century Histoire des ducs de Normandie et des rois d’Angleterre records that "Mehaus sa feme [Guillaumes de Braiouse] et Guillaumes ses fils" fled from King John to Ireland where they were captured at "le castiel de Cracfergu", taken to England, and imprisoned at "el castiel del Corf" where they were starved to death[1258].  The question whether "Mathilde de Saint-Valéry" and "Mathilde de la Haie" refer to the same person appears to be resolved by the 13th century Histoire des ducs de Normandie et des rois d’Angleterre which records her parentage and the circumstances of her death in the same lengthy passage.  m ([1170/75]) WILLIAM [III] de Briouse, son of WILLIAM [II] de Briouse Lord of Abergavenny, Briouse, Bramber, Brecon and Over-Gwent & his wife Bertha of Hereford (-Corbeil 9 Apr 1211, bur Paris, Saint-Victor).

J.      SEIGNEURS de TANCARVILLE

 

 

This family held the office of chamberlain of the duchy of Normandy, which became hereditary within the family. 

 

 

1.         GERAUDm ---.  Géraud & his wife had one child: 

a)         RAOUL .  Chambellan de Normandie.  A charter dated to [1034] records that “Hunfridus de Vetulis” donated property to Préaux Saint-Pierre, noting the presence of “...Radulfus camberarius filius Geraldi...[1261]same person as...?  RAOUL [I] de Tancarville .  The office held by both individuals suggests that they may have been the same person.  Another possibility is that the earlier Raoul was the father of the later.  The Chronique de Normandie, based on le Roman de Rou, names "le sire de Tancarville" among those who took part in the conquest of England in 1066[1262].  He is named in the source which names his wife and children, quoted below: Chamberlain of William I King of England.  m AVICE, daughter of ---.  Guillaume chamberlain confirmed the donation to the abbey of St Georges de Bocherville by Raoul, chief chamberlain of William I King of England, and his sons Raoul, Nigel and Guillaume, and their mother Avicia, with the consent of his sons Rabel and Robert and Lucy, recorded in a charter of Henry I King of England dated 1114[1263].  It is possible that she was the sister of Eudes Stigand, as shown by the charter of Henry I King of England, dated 1129, which confirmed an earlier donation to the abbey of Sainte-Barbe by "Odo Stigandus", at the request of "Guillelmi camerarii de Tancarvilla […nepos supradicti Odonis Stigandi] et Rabelli filii sui"[1264].  Raoul [I] & his wife had three children: 

i)          RAOUL de Tancarville .  Guillaume chamberlain confirmed the donation to the abbey of St Georges de Bocherville by Raoul, chief chamberlain of William I King of England, and his sons Raoul, Nigel and Guillaume, and their mother Avicia, with the consent of his sons Rabel and Robert and Lucy, recorded in a charter of Henry I King of England dated 1114[1265]

ii)         NEEL de Tancarville .  Guillaume chamberlain confirmed the donation to the abbey of St Georges de Bocherville by Raoul, chief chamberlain of William I King of England, and his sons Raoul, Nigel and Guillaume, and their mother Avicia, with the consent of his sons Rabel and Robert and Lucy, recorded in a charter of Henry I King of England dated 1114[1266]

iii)        GUILLAUME [I] de Tancarville (-1129).  Guillaume chamberlain confirmed the donation to the abbey of St Georges de Bocherville by Raoul, chief chamberlain of William I King of England, and his sons Raoul, Nigel and Guillaume, and their mother Avicia, with the consent of his sons Rabel and Robert and Lucy, recorded in a charter of Henry I King of England dated 1114[1267].  "…Willo de Tancvilla…" subscribed the charter dated to [10 Apr/29 May] 1121 which records the arrangements for the marriage of "Miloni de Gloec" and "Sibilia filia Beorndi de Novo Mercato"[1268].  Henry I King of England confirmed an earlier donation to the abbey of Sainte-Barbe by "Odo Stigandus", at the request of "Guillelmi camerarii de Tancarvilla […nepos supradicti Odonis Stigandi] et Rabelli filii sui", by charter dated 1129[1269].  Henry II King of England confirmed the property of Savigny abbey, including the donation by "Guillelmi camerarii de Tancharvilla" of "landam de Tor", by charter dated to [1156/58][1270].  Henry II King of England confirmed the possessions of the priory of Sainte-Barbe-en-Auge, including donations by "Rabelli Camerarii…Willelmus camerarius pater eius…Willelmi Camerarii filii Rabelli", by charter dated to [1185/89][1271]m MATHILDE d’Arques, daughter of GUILLAUME d’Arques & his wife Beatrix Malet.  Guillaume de Jumièges records "Mathildis" as the daughter of “Willelmi de Archis”, adding that she married “Willelmus camerarius de Tancarvilla” by whom she had “filium Rabellum qui ei successit[1272].  Guillaume [I] & his wife had three children: 

(a)       RABEL de Tancarville (-1140).  Guillaume de Jumièges records "Mathildis" as the daughter of “Willelmi de Archis”, adding that she married “Willelmus camerarius de Tancarvilla” by whom she had “filium Rabellum qui ei successit[1273]

-        see below

(b)       ROBERT de Tancarville .  Guillaume chamberlain confirmed the donation to the abbey of St Georges de Bocherville by Raoul, chief chamberlain of William I King of England, and his sons Raoul, Nigel and Guillaume, and their mother Avicia, with the consent of his sons Rabel and Robert and Lucy, recorded in a charter of Henry I King of England dated 1114[1274]

(c)       LUCY de Tancarville ).  Guillaume chamberlain confirmed the donation to the abbey of St Georges de Bocherville by Raoul, chief chamberlain of William I King of England, and his sons Raoul, Nigel and Guillaume, and their mother Avicia, with the consent of his sons Rabel and Robert and Lucy, recorded in a charter of Henry I King of England dated 1114[1275].  The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified.   m WILLIAM de Vernon, son of RICHARD Seigneur de Reviers & his wife Adelise Peverel (-after Mar 1175). 

 

 

RABEL de Tancarville, son of GUILLAUME [I] de Tancarville & his wife Mathilde d’Arques (-1140).  Guillaume de Jumièges records "Mathildis" as the daughter of “Willelmi de Archis”, adding that she married “Willelmus camerarius de Tancarvilla” by whom she had “filium Rabellum qui ei successit[1276].  Guillaume chamberlain confirmed the donation to the abbey of St Georges de Bocherville by Raoul, chief chamberlain of William I King of England, and his sons Raoul, Nigel and Guillaume, and their mother Avicia, with the consent of his sons Rabel and Robert and Lucy, recorded in a charter of Henry I King of England dated 1114[1277].  "Rabel fils de Guillaume, chambellan de Tancarville, qui avait épousé Agnès, héritière des biens du fondateur de ce prieuré" confirmed the foundation of the priory of Sainte-Barbe and its possession of all its lands "de la Dive", by charter dated 1128[1278].  Henry I King of England confirmed an earlier donation to the abbey of Sainte-Barbe by "Odo Stigandus", at the request of "Guillelmi camerarii de Tancarvilla […nepos supradicti Odonis Stigandi] et Rabelli filii sui", by charter dated 1129[1279].  The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Rabeli de Tancvilla" in Wiltshire[1280].  Henry II King of England confirmed the possessions of the priory of Sainte-Barbe-en-Auge, including donations by "Rabelli Camerarii…Willelmus camerarius pater eius…Willelmi Camerarii filii Rabelli", by charter dated to [1185/89][1281]

m firstly TIPHAINE de Penthièvre, daughter of ETIENNE de Bretagne Comte de Penthièvre & his wife Havise de Guingamp.  The Testa de Nevill records that "Coleby" in Lincolnshire previously belonged "de honore Britannie" and was granted "in maritagio cum Thephania filia comitis Stephani" and later "in maritagio cum Oliva sorore Willelmi camerarii de Tancarville"[1282].   

m secondly ---.  The inheritance by Rabel’s daughter of property held by his known wife Tiphaine (see below), instead of Rabel’s son Guillaume, suggests that the latter was born from a later otherwise unrecorded marriage of his father.  If that is correct, no indication has been found of the identity of Rabel’s second wife. 

Rabel & his first wife had one child: 

1.         OLIVE de Tancarville .  The Testa de Nevill records that "Coleby" in Lincolnshire previously belonged "de honore Britannie" and was granted "in maritagio cum Thephania filia comitis Stephani" and later "in maritagio cum Oliva sorore Willelmi camerarii de Tancarville"[1283].  The name of Olive’s husband is not specified.  Domesday Descendants names "Oliva de Tancarville, daughter of Rabel and Theophania de Richmond" as the wife of William [II] Malet[1284].  However, the chronology for this marriage is not ideal.  The birth of Olive’s maternal grandfather is estimated to [1058/62].  His daughter was therefore probably born in [1080/1100], and Olive in [1095/1115].  On the other hand, William [II] Malet is first named in a charter dated Sep 1101 when he was presumably already adult, and no mention of him has been found after [1117/21].  Stapleton suggests that Olive may have been the mother of Guillaume [III] Malet de Graville (see below) which appears to provide a better chronological fit[1285].  [m WILLIAM [II] Malet, son of [ROBERT [I] Mallet & his wife Matilda ---] (-after [1117/21]) or m MATHIEU Malet de Graville, son of --- (-after 1172).] 

Rabel & his second wife had one child: 

2.         GUILLAUME [II] de Tancarville (-[11 Nov 1190/1191]).  His parentage is confirmed by the undated charter under which his son "Raoul, Chamberlain de Tancarville, fils de Guillaume, Chamberlain" confirmed the foundation of the priory of Sainte-Barbe by "Rabel le Chambellan son aïeul"[1286].  The Red Book of the Exchequer records enfeoffments in the duchy of Normandy in [1172], "camerarius de Tanquarville" with 10 knights and 18 knights in his own service[1287].  His parentage is confirmed by the undated charter under which his son "Raoul, Chamberlain de Tancarville, fils de Guillaume, Chamberlain" confirmed the foundation of the priory of Sainte-Barbe by "Rabel le Chambellan son aïeul"[1288].  Henry II King of England confirmed the possessions of the priory of Sainte-Barbe-en-Auge, including donations by "Rabelli Camerarii…Willelmus camerarius pater eius…Willelmi Camerarii filii Rabelli", by charter dated to [1185/89][1289].  “...Willielmum Chamberlangum de Tancorvile...” subscribed the charter dated [11 Nov] 1190 under which Richard I King of England agreed an alliance with Tancred King of Sicily at Messina[1290].  Guillaume [II] presumably died soon afterwards as no further references to him have been found.  m ---.  The name of Guillaume’s wife is not known.  Guillaume [II] & his wife had three children: 

a)         RAOUL [II] de Tancarville (-before 1204).  "Raoul, Chamberlain de Tancarville, fils de Guillaume, Chamberlain" confirmed the foundation of the priory of Sainte-Barbe by "Rabel le Chambellan son aïeul" by undated charter[1291].  “Raoul le chambellan” donated “l’église des Etables” to the abbey of Saint-Georges de Bocherville” by undated charter[1292].  Raoul [II] must have died before 1204, the date of a charter of his brother Guillaume [III] (see below). 

b)         GUILLAUME [III] de Tancarville (-after 1214)"Willelmus camerarius de Tancharvilla, filius Rabelli" confirmed the purchase of land at Bretteville from the church of Bayeux, with the consent of "Willelmum filium meum", by charter dated to [1182/1205][1293]

-        see below

c)         MARSILIE de Tancarville (-after 1205).  Philippe II King of France confirmed the marriage contract between “Guillelmus cambellanus de Tancarvilla...Isabella filia sua” and “Adæ filio...Galterii junioris camerarii nostri” by charter dated 1205, which provided for an increase in the dowry if Guillaume de Tancarville had no male heir “ex Alliz uxore sua” and if “Marsilia sororia ipsius” died[1294]

 

 

GUILLAUME [III] de Tancarville, son of GUILLAUME [II] de Tancarville & his wife Alix de Séran (-after 1214).  "Willelmus camerarius de Tancharvilla, filius Rabelli" confirmed the purchase of land at Bretteville from the church of Bayeux, with the consent of "Willelmum filium meum", by charter dated to [1182/1205][1295].  The dating clause of a charter of Guillaume [III] records “primo anno in quo Philippus rex Francorum habuit dominium Normanniæ...MCCIV[1296].  "Guillaume Chambellan de Tancarville" donated land "à Iz" to the priory of Sainte-Barbe, at the request of "Alix sa femme", by undated charter witnessed by "Guillaume de Séran, frère de la dite Alix"[1297]

m ALIX de Serans, daughter of ---.  "Guillaume Chambellan de Tancarville" donated land "à Iz" to the priory of Sainte-Barbe, at the request of "Alix sa femme", by undated charter witnessed by "Guillaume de Séran, frère de la dite Alix"[1298].  Philippe II King of France confirmed the marriage contract between “Guillelmus cambellanus de Tancarvilla...Isabella filia sua” and “Adæ filio...Galterii junioris camerarii nostri” by charter dated 1205, which provided for an increase in the dowry if Guillaume de Tancarville had no male heir “ex Alliz uxore sua” and if “Marsilia sororia ipsius” died[1299]

Guillaume [III] & his wife had two children: 

1.         ISABELLE de Tancarville (-[1214]).  Philippe II King of France confirmed the marriage contract between “Guillelmus cambellanus de Tancarvilla...Isabella filia sua” and “Adæ filio...Galterii junioris camerarii nostri” by charter dated 1205, which provided for an increase in the dowry if Guillaume de Tancarville had no male heir “ex Alliz uxore sua” and if “Marsilia sororia ipsius” died[1300]m (1205) as his first wife, ADAM [I] de Villebéon, son of GAUTHIER [II] Seigneur de Villebéon & his wife Elisabeth --- ([1183/85]-28 Jan 1235, bur Jard). 

2.         RAOUL [III] de Tancarville (after 1205-)Raoul was born after 1205, the date of his sister’s marriage contract which specifies that her father had no male heir (see above).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified.  m ([1228/30?]) ALISENDE de Meulan, daughter of [ROGER de Meulan Seigneur de Meulan et de la Queue-en-Brie & his wife Elisabeth [Isabelle] ---] ([1210/15?]-).  Her family origin and marriage are indicated by the 1245 marriage contract of [her daughter] "Guillelmus camerarius de Tanquarvilla miles…Aelicia sorore mea" and "domino Roberto Bertran militi", which refers to property given to "Helysendi matri mee a domino Ammarico de Mellent avunculo meo"[1301].  Her marriage date is estimated from her daughter probably being about 15 years old when she married, bearing in mind the birth date of Raoul [III].  If that is correct, her brother, named in the 1245 marriage contract, would likely have been Amaury [II] Seigneur de Meulan (whose death is dated to [8 Apr 1252/5 Jun 1258]) and her father Roger de Meulan, dating Alisende’s birth to [1210/15].  The question of Alisende’s parentage and marriage was confused by La Roque who names “Alisende de Meullent Dame de la Baronnie de Tancarville” as older daughter of Amaury [I] de Meulan and records in a later passage her marriage with “Guillaume Sire de Tancarville[1302].  Demeulant-Thauré appears to have correctly identified her husband, but not her father, suggesting that Waléran de Meulan, son of Robert Comte de Meulan, and his wife Marguerite de Fougères “aurait une fille Alissende qui serait l’épouse de Raoul de Tancarville” (no source cited)[1303]Raoul [III] & his wife had [two] children: 

a)         GUILLAUME [IV] de Tancarville (-after 1268).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified.  He is named as deceased in the 1283 charter of his son Guillaume [V] (see below).  m AUDE, daughter of --- (-before 1283).  She is named as deceased in the 1283 charter of her son Guillaume [V] (see below).  Guillaume [IV] & his wife had four children: 

i)          RAOUL [IV] de Tancarville (-[21 Sep 1275/1283]).  Raoul [IV] donated property to Saint-Georges de Bocherville by charter dated 21 Sep 1275[1304].  He is named as deceased in the 1283 charter of his brother Guillaume [V] (see below).

1.         RAOUL de Warennem ---.  The name of Raoul’s wife is not known.  Raoul & his wife had one child: 

a)         ROGER .  Guillaume II Duke of Normandy confirmed the donation of “ecclesias...in maris Constantini pagi...” made by “Roberto...Hunfredi...filio” to Saint-Wandrille by charter dated to [1035/53], subscribed by “Roberti filii Hunfredi, Rogeri fratris eius, Anscetilli, Willelmi filii Ricardi secundi Normannorum ducis, Rogerii filii Radulfi de Warethna, Rogerii filii Ragnulfi, Gilleberti Crispin, Willelmi Guiet[1321]

 

 

RAOUL de Warenne, son of --- (-1074 or after).  An undated charter records an agreement between Sainte-Trinité de Rouen and "Rodulfo Warethnæ" to buy land "in Blovilla…apud villam…Merdeplud…et terram prati Sottevillæ", with the consent of "dominum nostrum Willelmum Normannorum ducem…et Rotomagensis archiepiscopi Malgerii", by undated charter (dated to [1037/55]), signed by "…ejusdem Rodulfi de Guarethna., Beatricis uxori eius, Rogerii filii episcopi, Huberti filii Turoldi…"[1322].  "Rodulfus de Warenna" sold "totam portionem suam silvæ montium Blovillæ et Scurræ", with the consent of "uxoris suæ…Emmæ", by undated charter (dated to [1059]), signed by "Willelmi comitis, ipsius Rodulfi, Emmæ uxoris eius, Hugonis de Flamenvilla, Leudonis…"[1323].  "Rodulfus de Warenna cum conjuge sua…Emma" sold "Amundi Villæ, Anglicevillæ, Flamenvillæ, Maltevillæ", with the consent of "Willelmi consulis Normanniæ", by undated charter[1324].  "Hugo de Flamenvilla" sold property "quam tenebat de domino suo Rodulfo de Warethana in Amundi Villæ…et in Maltevilla…[et] in Flamenvilla" by undated charter which also records that later "supra memoratus Rodulfus et uxor eius…Emma ac filii eorum Rodulfus et Willelmus" confirmed the agreement, signed by "…ipsius Hugonis de Flamenvilla, Rotberti filii eius, Gisleberti filii eiusdem…"[1325].  "Quidam miles de la Bruere…Alveredus, annuente Adheliza uxore sua" sold "decimas…in Maltevilla et Amunde Villa" to Sainte-Trinité de Rouen, with the consent of "Wido comes et Rodulfus de Warethna cum uxore sua…Emma", by undated charter, signed by "…Goiffredi fratris Alveredi, Hugonis de Flamenvilla, Roberti filii eius…"[1326].  "Quidam miles…Willelmus filius Ansgeri de Salceid" sold land "in Amundi Villa" to Sainte-Trinité de Rouen, with the consent of "domino eius Rodulfo…de Warenna…et uxor eius…Emma", by undated charter[1327].  "Rodulfus de Warenna eiusque conjux…Emma cum filiis suis Rodulfo…atque Willelmo" sold land in "quattuor villarum Caletensis pagi, Maltevillæ…Flamenvillæ, Amundi Villæ et Anglicevillæ" to Sainte-Trinité de Rouen, as well as "totius Osulfi Villæ eiusdem Caletensis pagi" sold by "Guillelmo filio Rogerii filii Hugonis episcopi", by charter dated 1074[1328].  He sold land at Matevilla, Flamenvilla, Amundi Villa and Anglicevilla, all in pagi Calentensis, to Sainte-Trinité jointly with his wife and two sons, dated 1074[1329]

m firstly BEATRICE, [niece of GUNNORA, mistress of Richard I Duke of Normandy,] daughter of --- (-after 1053).  Guillaume of Jumièges records that “nepotes...plures...Gunnor...una earum” married “patri primi Willelmi de Warenna” by whom she had “idem Willelmus postea comes Surreiæ et Rogerus de Mortuo-mari frater ipsius” [although the undated charter quoted below which records a sale of property by “Hugo de Flamenvilla” indicates that Raoul’s second wife was the mother of his son Guillaume][1330].  An undated charter records an agreement between Sainte-Trinité de Rouen and "Rodulfo Warethnæ" to buy land "in Blovilla…apud villam…Merdeplud…et terram prati Sottevillæ", with the consent of "dominum nostrum Willelmum Normannorum ducem…et Rotomagensis archiepiscopi Malgerii", by undated charter (dated to [1037/55]), signed by "…ejusdem Rodulfi de Guarethna., Beatricis uxori eius, Rogerii filii episcopi, Huberti filii Turoldi…"[1331]

m secondly (1059 or before) EMMA, daughter of --- (-after 1074).  "Rodulfus de Warenna" sold "totam portionem suam silvæ montium Blovillæ et Scurræ", with the consent of "uxoris suæ…Emmæ", by undated charter (dated to [1059]), signed by "Willelmi comitis, ipsius Rodulfi, Emmæ uxoris eius, Hugonis de Flamenvilla, Leudonis…"[1332].  "Rodulfus de Warenna cum conjuge sua…Emma" sold "Amundi Villæ, Anglicevillæ, Flamenvillæ, Maltevillæ", with the consent of "Willelmi consulis Normanniæ", by undated charter[1333].  "Hugo de Flamenvilla" sold property "quam tenebat de domino suo Rodulfo de Warethana in Amundi Villæ…et in Maltevilla…[et] in Flamenvilla" by undated charter which also records that later "supra memoratus Rodulfus et uxor eius…Emma ac filii eorum Rodulfus et Willelmus" confirmed the agreement, signed by "…ipsius Hugonis de Flamenvilla, Rotberti filii eius, Gisleberti filii eiusdem…"[1334].  "Quidam miles de la Bruere…Alveredus, annuente Adheliza uxore sua" sold "decimas…in Maltevilla et Amunde Villa" to Sainte-Trinité de Rouen, with the consent of "Wido comes et Rodulfus de Warethna cum uxore sua…Emma", by undated charter, signed by "…Goiffredi fratris Alveredi, Hugonis de Flamenvilla, Roberti filii eius…"[1335].  "Quidam miles…Willelmus filius Ansgeri de Salceid" sold land "in Amundi Villa" to Sainte-Trinité de Rouen, with the consent of "domino eius Rodulfo…de Warenna…et uxor eius…Emma", by undated charter[1336].  "Rodulfus de Warenna eiusque conjux…Emma cum filiis suis Rodulfo…atque Willelmo" sold land in "quattuor villarum Caletensis pagi, Maltevillæ…Flamenvillæ, Amundi Villæ et Anglicevillæ" to Sainte-Trinité de Rouen, as well as "totius Osulfi Villæ eiusdem Caletensis pagi" sold by "Guillelmo filio Rogerii filii Hugonis episcopi", by charter dated 1074[1337]

Raoul & his [first] wife had [four] children.  There is some doubt about the identity of the mother of these children.  Guillaume of Jumièges names “Willelmus postea comes Surreiæ...” as Raoul’s son by his wife Beatrice[1338].  However, an undated charter, quoted more fully below, names them "Rodulfus et uxor eius…Emma ac filii eorum Rodulfus et Willelmus"[1339].  As the documents quoted above date Raoul’s marriage to Emma in [1053/59], the birth of the children of Raoul’s second marriage would be dated to [1055/65].  However, reports quoted below indicate that Guillaume de Warenne was active as an adult in Normandy before the English invasion in 1066, which would place his birth to [1035/40].  This all suggests that Guillaume of Jumièges is correct and that the children were born from their father’s first marriage. 

1.         RODULF (-after 1074).  "Hugo de Flamenvilla" sold property "quam tenebat de domino suo Rodulfo de Warethana in Amundi Villæ…et in Maltevilla…[et] in Flamenvilla" by undated charter which also records that later "supra memoratus Rodulfus et uxor eius…Emma ac filii eorum Rodulfus et Willelmus" confirmed the agreement, signed by "…ipsius Hugonis de Flamenvilla, Rotberti filii eius, Gisleberti filii eiusdem…"[1340].  "Rodulfus de Warenna eiusque conjux…Emma cum filiis suis Rodulfo…atque Willelmo" sold land in "quattuor villarum Caletensis pagi, Maltevillæ…Flamenvillæ, Amundi Villæ et Anglicevillæ" to Sainte-Trinité de Rouen, as well as "totius Osulfi Villæ eiusdem Caletensis pagi" sold by "Guillelmo filio Rogerii filii Hugonis episcopi", by charter dated 1074[1341]The Complete Peerage speculates that he may have succeeded his father, married and left issue[1342]

2.         GUILLAUME (-Lewes 24 Jun 1088, bur Lewes Priory)Orderic Vitalis records, in recounting a death-bed speech of William I King of England, that "castrum…Mortui Mari" was granted to "Guillelmo de Guarenna consanguineo eius" after it was confiscated from "Rogerium de Mortuomari" who had helped the escape of a French prisoner after defeating troops of Henri King of France in 1054 "apud Mortuum-Mare"[1343]According to the Complete Peerage, in [1054], he acquired land at Bellencombre, whose castle became the headquarters of the Warenne family in Normandy, and in 1066 took part in the invasion of England in 1066 and was rewarded with land in 13 counties[1344]Orderic Vitalis names “...Willermus de Warenna et Hugo Pincerna...” among the leading lords under Guillaume II Duke of Normandy[1345].  Orderic Vitalis names “...Hugo de Grentemaisnilio et Guillermus de Garenna...” among those who took part in the battle of Hastings[1346].  Orderic Vitalis records that King William installed “Guillermum Osberni filium” at his new fortress at Winchester (“intra mœnia Guentæ”) and appointed him “vice sua toti regno versus Aquilonem”, while he granted “Doveram...totamque Cantiam” to “Odoni fratri suo”, and thus he entrusted “his duobus præfecturam Angliæ”, seconded by “Hugonem de Grentemaisnilio et Hugonem de Monteforti, Guillelmumque de Garenna”, dated to 1067[1347].  Orderic Vitalis says the king "gave Surrey" to William de Warenne in the chronicler's description of post-conquest grants made by King William, without specifying that he was created earl[1348].  Orderic Vitalis records that King William I granted "Sutregiam" to "Guillelmo de Guarenna" who had married "Gundredam sororem Gherbodi"[1349].  Guillaume of Jumièges records that “nepotes...plures...Gunnor...una earum” married “patri primi Willelmi de Warenna” by whom she had “idem Willelmus postea comes Surreiæ et Rogerus de Mortuo-mari frater ipsius” [although the undated charter quoted below which records a sale of property by “Hugo de Flamenvilla” indicates that Raoul’s second wife was the mother of his son Guillaume][1350].  "Hugo de Flamenvilla" sold property "quam tenebat de domino suo Rodulfo de Warethana in Amundi Villæ…et in Maltevilla…[et] in Flamenvilla" by undated charter which also records that later "supra memoratus Rodulfus et uxor eius…Emma ac filii eorum Rodulfus et Willelmus" confirmed the agreement, signed by "…ipsius Hugonis de Flamenvilla, Rotberti filii eius, Gisleberti filii eiusdem…"[1351].  "Rodulfus de Warenna eiusque conjux…Emma cum filiis suis Rodulfo…atque Willelmo" sold land in "quattuor villarum Caletensis pagi, Maltevillæ…Flamenvillæ, Amundi Villæ et Anglicevillæ" to Sainte-Trinité de Rouen, as well as "totius Osulfi Villæ eiusdem Caletensis pagi" sold by "Guillelmo filio Rogerii filii Hugonis episcopi", by charter dated 1074[1352].  Orderic Vitalis records that in Jan 1086 “Guillelmus de Warenna et Baldricus de Chitreio Nicolai filius, atque Gislebertus de Aquila”, wanting to avenge the death of “Richerii fratris sui” [Richer de Laigle], unsuccessfully attacked the besiegers of the castle of Sainte-Suzanne[1353]He supported King William II against the rebels led by Eudes Bishop of Bayeux and Robert Comte de Mortain in early 1088 and was rewarded by being created Earl of Surrey in [late Apr] 1088: Orderic Vitalis records that King William II appointed “Guilelmum de Guarenna” as “comitem Suthregiæ”, and adds that he was later buried at Lewes, dated to [1088/89][1354]He and his immediate successors usually styled themselves "Earl de Warenne".  He was mortally wounded at the siege of Pevensey[1355]

3.         [ERNEIS de Coulonces .  The source quoted below names [his son] “Rogerius Erneisi de Coluncis filius” as “nepos Guillelmi de Guarenna”.  It is not known whether this passage means that Roger was the son of the sister or of the brother of Guillaume de Warenne.  The different names Coulonces/Warenne suggest that Guillaume and Erneis may not have been brothers, although it is possible that two brothers were called by different geographical epithets if they held different seigneuries.  Another difficulty is that the same text refers to another person “Ernaldus Unfridi de Telliolo filius” as “nepos ex sorore” of Hugues de Grantmesnil.  If the passage was constructed logically, this would imply that the Coulonces/Warenne relationship was different and therefore that Guillaume de Warenne and Erneis de Coulonces were brothers.  However, it cannot be assumed that strict logic applied in the composition of the source.  Another passage in the same source records that “Rogerius...de Guarenna” became a  monk at Ouche (see below).  It is assumed that this refers to the same person, son of Erneis: yet another passage, also quoted below, calls his brother “Ricardus...de Coluncis”, which suggests that this assumption is correct.  If correct, the addition of the name “de Guarenna” suggests that Warenne was his paternal family.  On balance, it appears more likely that it was Roger’s father who was the brother of Guillaume de Warenne, but this conclusion is not beyond all doubt.  Another possibility is that “nepos” in this case indicates a more remote family relationship, either cousinship or a relationship by marriage.  m ---.  The name of Erneis’s wife is not known.]  Erneis & his wife had two children: 

a)         ROGER [de Warenne] (-after 1081).  Orderic Vitalis records that "Drogo filius Goisfredi de Novo-Mercato et Rogerius Erneisi de Coluncis filius nepos Guillelmi de Guarenna et Ernaldus Unfridi de Telliolo filius, nepos ex sorore Hugonis de Grentemaisnilio" donated revenue[1356].  Orderic Vitalis records that “Rogerius...de Guarenna” became a monk at Ouche Saint-Evroul where he lived for about 46 years[1357].  Orderic Vitalis records that “Mainerius abbas” (abbot of Ouche Saint-Evroul) went to England in the 14th year of his abbacy [1081] with “Rogerium de Guarenna, Drogonem...de Novo-Mercato” when William I King of England confirmed the possessions of Ouche by charter (which he quotes in full)[1358]

b)         RICHARD de Coulonces (-15 Sep 1125).  Orderic Vitalis records that “Ricardus...de Coluncis, præfati Rogerii frater” (referring to “Rogerius...de Guarenna” who is named on the previous page) donated “ecclesiam de Estolveio” [Etouvy], which he had bought from “Erneiso quodam homine suo”, to Ouche Saint-Evroul “cum Adelaisa conjuge sua et præfato Erneiso[1359].  Orderic Vitalis records that “Ricardus...de Coluncis, præfati Rogerii frater” lived prosperously to an old age (“usque ad senectutem prospere vixit”) and died “XVII Kal Oct” 1125[1360]m ADELAIS, daughter of ---.  Orderic Vitalis records that “Ricardus...de Coluncis, præfati Rogerii frater” (referring to “Rogerius...de Guarenna” who is named on the previous page) donated “ecclesiam de Estolveio” [Etouvi], which he had bought from “Erneiso quodam homine suo”, to Ouche Saint-Evroul “cum Adelaisa conjuge sua et præfato Erneiso[1361]Richard & his wife had fifteen children:

ROBERT d'Eu, son of GUILLAUME Comte d'Hiémois et d'Eu & his wife Lesceline de Tourville ([1005/10]-8 Sep [1089/93], bur Le Tréport).  Guillaume of Jumièges names “Rodbertum...Willelmum Suessionensem comitem atque Hugonem Luxoviensem præsulem” as the three sons of “ducis uno ex patre fratrem progenitum...Willelmum” and his wife “Lezscelinam...filiam...Turchetilli”, adding that Robert succeeded to his father’s county[1450].  He is named as the son of Guillaume Comte d'Eu by Orderic Vitalis[1451].  Robert’s date of birth is estimated from his having three sons who are named in a charter dated 1036.  The date is consistent with his father’s estimated birth date, although it means that he must have been extremely old when he died.  "Robertus comes Augensis…uxore Beatrice et filiis meis Radulfo, Willermo atque Roberto" made donations to the abbey of St Michel, Tréport by a charter dated 1036, witnessed by "Hugo vicecomes"[1452]An undated charter, dated to the [1035/50], records the donation of "predium Heltonis quod possedit Gozelinus vicecomes" to the abbey of Sainte-Trinité at Rouen, with the support of "Willelmus comes Normanniæ, et Willelmus, filius Willelmi comitis, qui et hæres Heltonis, et Robertus comes frater eius…Niellus…et Turstinus vicecomites", subscribed by "…filii Turchitilli Hugo et Goffridus necnon Walerannus comes", signed by "Gozelini vicecomitis, Heltonis, Willelmi heredis Heltonis, Walberti fratris Heltonis, Waleranni comitis, Alberici comitis, Heltæ filii Heltonis…"[1453].  An undated charter, dated to [1049], records that "Lezelina comitissa…cum filiis suis" was expelled "de castro Ou" and donated land on the banks of the Seine to Sainte-Trinité de Rouen, with the consent of "filiis suis Hugone, Willelmo, Rotberto"[1454].  He succeeded his father as Comte d'Eu, indicating presumably that he was the eldest son.  Orderic Vitalis names “...Rodbertus comes, Willermi Aucensis Satrapæ filius...” among the leading lords under Guillaume II Duke of Normandy[1455].  "Rotbertus comes de Ou et Beatrix conjux eius" donated "jure hereditario silvam de Spinei" to Sainte-Trinité de Rouen, with the consent of "filiis suis", by undated charter dated to "tempore que discordia cepit inter [Willelmus comes Normanniæ] et Henricum regem Francorum", witnessed by "…Willelmi filii Osberni, Rodulfi camerarii…Goisfredi filii Osberni de Ou, Ansfredi fratris eius, Widonis filii Amalrici, Rainaldi de Sancto Martino, Osberti de Albert Villa…"[1456].  "Rotberti comitis de Auco" witnessed a charter of "Rogerius de Buslei" dated 1053[1457]Robert of Torigny's De Immutatione Ordinis Monachorum records that "Lecelina comitissa Aucensis relicta Willermi comitis" founded "mon. Sancti Petri super Divam virorum et mon. fem. ante urbem Lexoviensem" with "filiis suis Roberto comite Aucensi et Hugone episcopo Lexoviensi"[1458]The Brevis Relatio de Origine Willelmi Conquestoris records that "Roberto comite Augiensi" contributed 60 ships towards the invasion of England in 1066[1459].  Orderic Vitalis records that “Rodbertus Aucensium comes et Gauterius Gifardus et Radulfus de Mortuomari” and nearly all the seigneurs who lived “trans Sequanam usque ad mare” joined King William II against his brother Robert Duke of Normandy and received considerable sums to fortify their castles, dated to [1089/90][1460].  The necrology of Saint-Nicaise de Meulan records the death of "Robertus comes Aucensis", undated but listed among deaths recorded in early September[1461].  The necrology of Ulterioris Portus monastery records the death "8 Sep" of "Robertus comes Augensis hujus ecclesiæ fundator"[1462]

m firstly BEATRIX, daughter of --- (-10 Apr ----).  "Robertus comes Augensis…uxore Beatrice et filiis meis Radulfo, Willermo atque Roberto" made donations to the abbey of St Michel, Tréport by a charter dated 1036, witnessed by "Hugo vicecomes"[1463]"Rotbertus comes de Ou et Beatrix conjux eius" donated "jure hereditario silvam de Spinei" to Sainte-Trinité de Rouen, with the consent of "filiis suis", by undated charter dated to "tempore que discordia cepit inter [Willelmus comes Normanniæ] et Henricum regem Francorum"[1464].  The necrology of Ulterioris Portus monastery records the death "10 Apr" of "comitissa Beatrix, loci hujus...fundatrix"[1465].  This entry must be linked to the wife of Comte Robert as the latter is described as "nostri monasterii fundatoris" in the entry which relates to their son Guillaume (see below) and also in his own entry in the same necrology. 

m secondly (repudiated before [1080][1466]) as her first husband, MATHILDE of Sicily, daughter of ROGER I Count of Sicily & his first wife Judith d'Evreux (1062-before 1094).  The primary source which confirms her parentage and first marriage has not yet been identified.  According to Houben[1467], Mathilde who married Robert Comte d'Eu was the daughter of Roger I Count of Sicily by his second wife, and a different person from Mathilde his daughter by his first wife who married Raymond Comte de Saint-Gilles.  No source is quoted, but this seems unlikely from a chronological point of view as Roger's second marriage took place in [1077], and Robert Comte d'Eu died in [1089/93].  In addition, it seems unlikely that Roger, at the height of his power as Count of Sicily in the late 1080s, would have agreed to his daughter's marriage to an obscure count in northern France at the same time as arranging royal marriages for his other daughters.  She married secondly ([1080], divorced [1088]) as his second wife, Raymond de Toulouse, who later succeeded as Raymond IV Comte de Toulouse.  Malaterra records the marriage of "Raimundus comes Provinciarum" and "Matildem filiam suam [Rogerii Siculorum comitis]…de prima uxore" which he dates to 1080[1468]

HENRI d'Eu, son of GUILLAUME I Comte d'Eu & his [first/second] wife --- (-Fécamp 12 Jul 1140)"Henricus comes Augensis filius comitis Willermi" made donations to the abbey of St Michel, Tréport with the consent of "Margarita comitissa et fratres supradicti comitis Robertus, Willelmus major, Willelmus minor" by a charter dated 1101[1494]He succeeded his father in 1096 as Comte d'Eu.  In 1118, he supported a rebellion against Henry I King of England in favour of Guillaume "Clito" de Normandie, but was arrested at Rouen with Hugues de Gournay, "thrown into fetters and forced to surrender his castles"[1495].  He founded Saint-Martin-du-Bosc in [1107] and the abbey of Fécamp in 1129/30[1496].  He became a monk at the abbey of Fécamp.  Robert of Torigny records the death in 1140 of "Henricus comes de Ou"[1497].  The necrology of the church of Eu records the anniversary "12 Jul" of "Henrici comitis Augi" who introduced "canonicos regulares" to the church[1498]

m firstly MATHILDE, daughter of --- (-30 Mar [1107 or before]).  "Henricus comes Augensis" made donations to the abbey of St Michel, Tréport "pro salute anime Matildis uxoris mee" with the consent of "frater meus Robertus" by a charter dated 1107[1499]The necrology of Ulterioris Portus monastery records the death "30 Mar" of "Maltildis Augensis comitissa, Henrici comitis...sponsa"[1500]

m secondly ERMENTRUDE, daughter of --- (-17 or 24 Apr ----).  The necrology of Ulterioris Portus monastery records the death "17 Apr" of "Hermentrudis Augi comitissa"[1501].  The necrology of Longpont records the death “VIII Kal Mai” of “Hermetrudis comitissa Augi[1502].  The necrology of Longpont contains numerous references to the Montlhéry family, Comtes de Rochefort (see  PARIS REGION).  The inclusion of Ermentrude suggests that she may be related to that family. 

m thirdly MARGUERITE de Sully, daughter of GUILLAUME de Blois Seigneur de Sully & his wife Agnes de Sully (-15 Dec [1145], bur Fécamp).  "Henricus comes Augensis filius comitis Willermi" made donations to the abbey of St Michel, Tréport with the consent of "Margarita comitissa et fratres supradicti comitis Robertus, Willelmus major, Willelmus minor" by a charter dated 1101[1503]The necrology of the church of Eu records the death "15 Dec" of "Margareta Augensis comitissa, mater Johannis comitis"[1504]

Comte Henri & his third wife had three children: 

1.         JEAN [I] d'Eu (-Fécamp 26 Jun 1170, bur Fécamp).  Robert of Torigny records that "Johannes filius eius" succeeded on the death in 1140 of "Henricus comes de Ou"[1505].  He succeeded his father in 1140 as Comte d'Eu"Johannes Augensium comes" made donations to the abbey of St Michel, Tréport referring to "antecessores mei comes Robertus et Guillermus filius eius et Henricus pater meus" by a charter dated 1149, witnessed by "Robertus de Augo"[1506]He became a monk at the abbey of Fécamp.  Robert of Torigny records the death in 1170 of "Johannes comes Aucensis"[1507]The necrology of Ulterioris Portus monastery records the death "26 Jun" of "Johannes comes Augi"[1508]m ([1155/60?]) as her first husband, ALICE de Albini, daughter of WILLIAM de Albini Earl of Arundel & his wife Adelisa de Louvain ([1140/45?]-11 Sep [1188], bur Fécamp).  "Johannes comes Augi" made donations to the abbey of St Michel, Tréport by a charter dated [1169/70], witnessed by "Henricus et Robertus filii comitis et A[elicia] comitissa Augi"[1509]Robert of Torigny names "Guillermum primogenitum suum et Godefridum et…comitissam uxorem Johannis comitis Aucensis" as children of "Willermi de Albinaio quem vocant comitem de Arundel" & his wife[1510].  "Alizia comitissa Augi" donated property to the abbey of Robert's Bridge for the soul of "Willielmi comitis Arundelie patris mei et Alizie regine matris mee et…domini mei J. comitis Augi et Godefridi fratris mei et Matildis et Margarete filiarum mearum" by undated charter witnessed by "Henrico comite Augi, Roberto fratris eius"[1511]She married secondly Alured de Saint-MartinThe primary source which confirms her second marriage has not yet been identified.  It is suggested by a charter of King Edward III dated 5 Nov 1337 which confirms various donations to Robert’s Bridge Abbey in Sussex founded by Aluredus de Sancto Martino”, including “terram de Swergate et pasturam infra wallam” donated by “Aliciæ comitissæ de Augo et Henrici filii eius comitis Augi[1512].  “Alizia comitissa Augi” donated "terram meam de Snergate, infra wallum et extra" to Robert’s Bridge Abbey, for the souls of “Willielmi comitis Arundeliæ patris mei et Aliziæ reginæ matris meæ et…domini mei J. comitis Augi et Godefridi fratris mei et Matildis et Margaretæ filiarum mearum”, by undated charter, witnessed by “Henrico comite Augi, Roberto fratre eius, Aluredo de Sancto Martino…[1513].  The necrology of the church of Eu records the anniversary "15 May" of "Aelidis comitissæ Augi" who donated "capellam Sancti Thomæ martyris juxta Criolium"[1514].  Comte Jean & his wife had five children: 

a)         HENRI d'Eu ([1155?]-16/17 Mar [after Jul 1193, maybe after Jul 1196], bur Fécamp)"Johannes comes Augi" made donations to the abbey of St Michel, Tréport by a charter dated [1169/70], witnessed by "Henricus et Robertus filii comitis et A[elicia] comitissa Augi"[1515]He succeeded his father as Comte d'Eu, Lord of Hastings.  The Chronique des comtes d’Eu, written in 1390, records that "Henry, père de...Aalis" was "cousin bien prochain du roy Henry d’Angleterre à cause de son ayeulle"[1516], the latter possibly his maternal grandmother who was the widow of Henry I King of England (although not of course the mother of the king’s children).  “Alizia comitissa Augi” donated "terram meam de Snergate, infra wallum et extra" to Robert’s Bridge Abbey, for the souls of “Willielmi comitis Arundeliæ patris mei et Aliziæ reginæ matris meæ et…domini mei J. comitis Augi et Godefridi fratris mei et Matildis et Margaretæ filiarum mearum”, by undated charter, witnessed by “Henrico comite Augi, Roberto fratre eius, Aluredo de Sancto Martino…[1517].  The Chronique des comtes d’Eu records that Henri died 1183 [incorrect date?] and was buried "dedens le chueur de l’eglise de Foucarmont"[1518].  [The Red Book of the Exchequer, listing scutage payments in [1190/91], records "Henricus de Augo" paying "xxxiii l vi s viii d" in Sussex[1519].  It has not been confirmed that this entry refers to Henri Comte d’Eu.]  The Complete Peerage cites entries from the Pipe Rolls (Sussex) which record “2 Ric I...De exercit Walie. Henricus Count of Eu” owing certain sums, “3, 4, and 5 Ric I...Henricus Count of Eu” owing one of the same sums, and “8 Ric I...the Count of Eu was pardoned for these sums[1520].  These entries have not been checked but, if correct, they indicate that Henri was living in [Jul 1193/Jul 1194] and maybe in [Jul 1196/Jul 1197].  The obituary of the church of Eu records the anniversary "16 Mar" of "Henrici comitis Augi" and his donation of “partem forestæ suæ et maresca sua...[1521].  The obituary of Le Tréport records the anniversary "17 Mar" of "comes Augi Henricus"[1522]m ([after 1172]) as her second husband, MATHILDE, widow of OSBERT de Préaux, daughter of [HAMELIN d'Anjou Earl of Surrey & his first wife ---] (-[30 Mar] [before Jun 1200?] or 1207, bur Foucarmont).  The Chronique des comtes d’Eu, written in 1390, records that "Henry..." married "Mahault...fille de Guillaume Mareschal conte de Longueville et de Pembroc..."[1523]: this suggestion is impossible chronologically, given the dating of the marriage of William Marshall, later Earl of Pembroke, to Aug 1189 (see the document ENGLAND EARLS 1138-1143).  Her first and second marriages are indicated by the charter dated Mar 1233 under which [her daughter by her second marriage] "Ælicia comitissa Augi in viduitate" granted revenue from "molendino de Duno" to “in matrimonium Ælidæ filiæ Petri de Pratellis fratris mei[1524].  Her connection with the Warenne family is indicated by the undated charter under which her daughter “Haelisia comitissa Augy quondam uxor Radulfi de Ysondun comitis Augy” donated property to Roche Abbey, witnessed by “domino Willielmo comite Warennæ avunculo meo…[1525].  Because Mathilde had three children by her first husband who died in [1172], she could not have been the daughter of Hamelin by his wife Isabelle de Warenne.  There are therefore two possibilities: either she was Hamelin’s daughter by an otherwise unrecorded earlier marriage or she was the daughter of Isabelle de Warenne by her first marriage.  The The latter possibility is unlikely as any daughter of Guillaume de Blois Comte de Boulogne would have been Ctss de Boulogne instead of Guillaume’s sister.  In any case, the chronology would be tight for Mathilde to have been Isabelle’s daughter.  Until more information comes to light, it is supposed that Mathilde was the daughter of Hamelin by an earlier marriage.  Thomas Stapleton, in his "Observations on the Great Rolls of the Exchequer of Normandy", records that "Osbert de Préaux" donated tithes from harvest in the parish of Bois l’Evêque to the monks of Holy Trinity of Mont-de-Rouen, for his own soul “those of his parents and of the parents of his wife Matildis”, undated, and that his wife and “their sons Simon and John” granted the tythe to the monks in perpetuity, but he does not cite the source reference[1526]The wording of the charter of her son Pierre, dated to [Jun 1200], suggests that his mother might have died before that date: “Petrus de Pratell” donated annual revenue to Notre-Dame de Beaulieu, for the salvation of “mee et patris mei et matris mee et fratrum meorum...Simonis et Rogeri, Iohannis et Engerranni[1527].  If this charter is correctly dated, at least two of the donor’s brothers were alive at that time, while his father was certainly deceased.  The question then is determining the significance, if any, between his parents not being named in the document while his brothers are named.  One possibility is that the unnamed individuals (and therefore including the donor’s mother) were deceased, but the named brothers were living.  It should be emphasised that this observation is speculative.  The 1390 Chronique des comtes d’Eu records that, after her husband died, Mathilde donated revenue "sur les molins de Torcy le Petit, à une lieue de Longueville le Giffart..." to Foucarmont, witnessed by "ses deux filz Raoul de Eu et Guy"[1528]: the RHGF editor cites the corresponding charter which was witnessed by "...Radulfo de Augo, Guidone fratre eius..."[1529].  The Chronique des comtes d’Eu records that Mathilde died 1207 "et demoura moult long temps en l’abbaye de Foucarmont en sa vefveté, et tenoit son estat à la porte" where she was buried next to her husband[1530].  The obituary of Le Tréport records the anniversary "30 Mar" of "Maltidis Augensis comitissa, Henrici comitis...sponsa"[1531]Europäische Stammtafeln says that Mathilde married thirdly Henri Seigneur d’Estouteville[1532].  Follow the hyperlink for a discussion of this possibility.  Comte Henri & his wife had [four] children: 

i)          RAOUL d'Eu (-[1 May] [after Jul 1193, maybe after Jul 1196], bur Fécamp).  The Chronique des comtes d’Eu, written in 1390, names "Raoul et Guy" as the two sons of "Henry et Mahault", adding that Raoul was buried "en la dite eglise de Foucarmont...assez près de ses oncles", and in a later passage that he died in 1186 [incorrect date, see below][1533]Comte d’Eu"Radulfus Augensium comes" made donations to the abbey of St Michel, Tréport by a charter dated 1191, naming "antecessores mei comes Robertus et Guillermus filius eius et Henricus avus Henrici iunioris et Johannes pater eiusdem Henrici et idem H[enricus]"[1534]The Chronique des comtes d’Eu, written in 1390, records that, after her husband died, Mathilde donated revenue "sur les molins de Torcy le Petit, à une lieue de Longueville le Giffart..." to Foucarmont, witnessed by "ses deux filz Raoul de Eu et Guy"[1535]: the RHGF editor cites the corresponding charter which was witnessed by "...Radulfo de Augo, Guidone fratre eius..."[1536].  [The following two entries could refer to Raoul, son of Henri, or to Raoul de Issoudun.  The obituary of the church of Eu records the anniversary "1 May" of "Radulfi comitis Augi qui dedit nobis xv libras annui redditus ad luminaria ecclesiæ"[1537].  The obituary of Le Tréport records the anniversary "1 Mai" of "Radulphus comes Augi"[1538].]  The source which confirms his burial at Fécamp has not been identified. 

ii)         GUY d'Eu (-[after Jul 1193, maybe after Jul 1196], bur Fécamp).  The Chronique des comtes d’Eu, written in 1390, names "Raoul et Guy" as the two sons of "Henry et Mahault", adding that Guy was buried "à senestre costé du cueur de l’abbaye de Eu" and in a later passage that he died in 1185 [incorrect date, see below][1539].  The Chronique des comtes d’Eu, written in 1390, records that, after her husband died, Mathilde donated revenue "sur les molins de Torcy le Petit, à une lieue de Longueville le Giffart..." to Foucarmont, witnessed by "ses deux filz Raoul de Eu et Guy"[1540]: the RHGF editor cites the corresponding charter which was witnessed by "...Radulfo de Augo, Guidone fratre eius..."[1541].  The source which confirms his burial at Fécamp has not been identified. 

iii)        ALIX d'Eu (-La Mothe Saint Héray [13/15] May 1246).  The Chronique des comtes d’Eu, written in 1390, names "Aalis et Jehanne" as the two daughters of "Henry et Mahault", adding in a later passage that Alix married "Radulphus de Yssouduno...filz du conte de la Marche mainsné" in 1200, and died in 1245 "à Villeneuve en Poitou en un sien lieu appelé la Mote"[1542].  She succeeded her father as Ctss d'Eu, Lady of Hastings.  “Haelisia comitissa Augy quondam uxor Radulfi de Ysondun comitis Augy” donated property to Roche Abbey, for the souls of “…Radulfi filii mei”, by undated charter witnessed by “domino Willielmo comite Warennæ avunculo meo…[1543].  An order of King John dated 1 Apr 1202 relates intelligence that "filia Com. Aug…uxor Rad de Exoldun mortua est"[1544].  Presumably the report of her death was incorrect, assuming that Alix’s death in correctly recorded in the Chronique des comtes d’Eu.  A letter from "W. comes Warrenæ" to "Huberto de Burgo justiciario Angliæ" dated Aug 1219 announces the arrival in England of "dominæ comitissæ Augi neptis vestræ, cognatæ nostræ"[1545].  The relationship between Hubert de Burgh and Alix d’Eu Ctss d’Eu has not yet been traced.  “A[lix] comitissa Augi” confirmed that she relinquished "terram de Forzex eschæta Guillelmi quondam domini de Forz et comitis Aubemarle" to Louis IX King of France by charter dated Feb 1233 (O.S.)[1546].  The necrology of Ulterioris Portus monastery records the death "14 May" of "Aelis...comitissa Augi"[1547]m (1191 or before) RAOUL de Lusignan, son of HUGUES [IX] de Lusignan & his wife [Orengarde ---] (-Melle [1 May] 1219, bur Exoudun).  He succeeded in 1194 as Comte d'Eu, by right of his wife. 

iv)        [JEANNE d’Eu (-[1252, bur Foucarmont]).  The Chronique des comtes d’Eu, written in 1390, names "Aalis et Jehanne" as the two daughters of "Henry et Mahault", adding that Jeanne married "au conte Pierre Malclerc de Bretaigne" [which is inconsistent with other primary sources], inherited "la viconté de Crieul", and died childless in 1252 "en la conté Witoniensis en l’hospital Bratell" and was buried "à Foucarmont"[1548].] 

b)         ROBERT d'Eu (-Acre ----, bur Jerusalem).  The Chronique des comtes d’Eu, written in 1390, names "Henry, Robert et Jehan" as the three sons of "Jehan...[et]...Aaliz", adding that Robert was buried in Jerusalem[1549]"Johannes comes Augi" made donations to the abbey of St Michel, Tréport by a charter dated [1169/70], witnessed by "Henricus et Robertus filii comitis et A[elicia] comitissa Augi"[1550]Alizia comitissa Augi” donated "terram meam de Snergate, infra wallum et extra" to Robert’s Bridge Abbey, for the souls of “Willielmi comitis Arundeliæ patris mei et Aliziæ reginæ matris meæ et…domini mei J. comitis Augi et Godefridi fratris mei et Matildis et Margaretæ filiarum mearum”, by undated charter, witnessed by “Henrico comite Augi, Roberto fratre eius, Aluredo de Sancto Martino…[1551]

c)         JEAN [II] d'Eu (-4 Aug after 1207, bur Fécamp).  The Chronique des comtes d’Eu, written in 1390, names "Henry, Robert et Jehan" as the three sons of "Jehan...[et]...Aaliz"[1552]Comte d'Eu 1202.  “Johannes de Augo filius Johannis comitis de Augo” confirmed the donation of "mariscum de Snergate, qui pertinet ad feudum meum de Bilsintone…" to Robert’s Bridge Abbey made by “Aliciæ comitissæ de Augo matris meæ et Henrici comitis de Augo fratris mei”, for the souls of “…Henricis comitis de Augo fratris mei”, by undated charter[1553].  Lord of Billington.  He became a monk at Fécamp abbey.  The necrology of Ulterioris Portus monastery records the death "4 Aug" of "Johannes filius Johannis comitis"[1554]

d)         MATHILDE d'Eu ([1160/70?]-).  “Alizia comitissa Augi” donated "terram meam de Snergate, infra wallum et extra" to Robert’s Bridge Abbey, for the souls of “Willielmi comitis Arundeliæ patris mei et Aliziæ reginæ matris meæ et…domini mei J. comitis Augi et Godefridi fratris mei et Matildis et Margaretæ filiarum mearum”, by undated charter, witnessed by “Henrico comite Augi, Roberto fratre eius, Aluredo de Sancto Martino…[1555]same person as...?  MATHILDE (-15 Dec, before 13 Dec 1228).  The Chronique des comtes d’Eu, written in 1390, records that the older of the two daughters of "Jehan...[et]...Aaliz" married "l’aisné d’Estouteville qui estoient trois frères, qui vinrent d’Angleterre eulx marier en Caux"[1556].  Morandière records that Mathilde donated revenue "à prendre sur le moulin de maritagii mei de Torcy" to Valmont by charter dated 1212 (no source cited)[1557]Henricus de Stotevilla” donated property to Valmont, for the soul of “Matildis Comitissa de Augo uxoris mee” and for a light “in die obitus dictæ Matildis uxoris meæ” by charter dated 13 Dec 1228[1558]Morandière records her “obit...le 15 décembre” (no source cited, but presumably the necrology of Valmont)[1559].  The year of Mathilde’s death is not known, her last known mention being the 1212 donation.  The wording of her husband’s 13 Dec 1228 charter suggests that her death may have been recent.  Follow the hyperlink for a discussion of the difficulty of identifying the parentage of Henri’s wife and the alternative possibility that she was the widow of Henri Comte d’Eu (see above).  A definite conclusion about Mathilde’s parentage is difficult, the question revolving around her description as “Comitissa de Augo” in the 13 Dec 1228 cited above as opposed to the chronological difficulties if Henri d’Estouteville’s wife was Henri d’Eu’s widow.  Presumably it cannot be excluded that La Roque (who is not consistently reliable) mistranscribed the 13 Dec 1228 document, while another possibility is that Mathilde and her husband claimed the county of Eu after her brother died (Jean [II]?) in an attempt to displace her niece (daughter of Henri) and that, despite their claim being unsuccessful, she was accorded the title as a courtesy in later Estouteville documentation.  m HENRI Seigneur d’Estouteville, son of ROBERT [IV] Seigneur d’Estouteville & his wife Léonie --- (-5 Apr [1229/1231], bur Valmont). 

e)         MARGUERITE d'Eu"Johannes comes Augi" made donations to the abbey of St Michel, Tréport "pro anima Matildis sororis mee", buried "III Kal Aug", by a charter dated 1153, on the intercession of "pia mea Margarita"[1560]Alizia comitissa Augi” donated "terram meam de Snergate, infra wallum et extra" to Robert’s Bridge Abbey, for the souls of “Willielmi comitis Arundeliæ patris mei et Aliziæ reginæ matris meæ et…domini mei J. comitis Augi et Godefridi fratris mei et Matildis et Margaretæ filiarum mearum”, by undated charter, witnessed by “Henrico comite Augi, Roberto fratre eius, Aluredo de Sancto Martino…[1561].  The Chronique des comtes d’Eu, written in 1390, records that the younger of the two daughters of "Jehan...[et]...Aaliz" married "au seigneur de Saint Remy en la Rivière" adding that "le seigneur de Saint Remy son filz...Ive" donated property to "l’eglise de Foucarmont" and "ung sien filz...Simon de Saint Remy" founded "leur manoir de Coquereaulmont"[1562]m --- Seigneur de Saint-Rémy-en-Rivière, son of ---. 

Jean had two children, either by his wife or illegitimate: 

f)          HENRI d'Eu (-after 1196, bur Fécamp).  Two charters dated 1195 record the presence of "Henry de Ow, dean of St Mary’s Hastings"[1563].  Dean at St Mary's, Hastings.  The Pipe Roll records "Henricus filius comitis de Auco…per plegium Ade fratris sui" in 1196[1564].  The latter source does not name the father of the two brothers but, from a chronological point of view, Jean Comte d’Eu appears to be the only possibility.  The fact that the oldest son of Comte Jean is also recorded with the name Henri suggests that this second Henri may not have been born from the same mother.  As Jean’s wife outlived him, in that case the two brothers Henri and Adam would have been illegitimate. 

g)         ADAM d'Eu (-before 18 Feb 1228).  The Pipe Roll records "Henricus filius comitis de Auco…per plegium Ade fratris sui" in 1196[1565]

2.         ETIENNE d'Eu (-after [1140]).  The Chronique des comtes d’Eu, written in 1390, names "Jehan et Estienne" as the two sons of "Henry et Marguerite"[1566]

3.         MATHILDE d'Eu (-bur 30 Jul 1153).  "Johannes comes Augi" made donations to the abbey of St Michel, Tréport "pro anima Matildis sororis mee", buried "III Kal Aug", by a charter dated 1153, on the intercession of "pia mea Margarita"[1567]

Comte Henri had [two possible children, probably illegitimate]: 

4.          [GUILLAUME d'Eu (-1150 or after).  Domesday Descendants names "Willelm de Auco" as archdeacon of Cornwall, in the diocesis of Exeter, from [1128] to 1150[1568].  There is no indication of his parentage, and no certainty that he was a member of the comital family of Eu.  If Guillaume and Hugues were the sons of Henri Comte d’Eu, it is likely that they were illegitimate: the father of Henri’s third wife, by whom he had all his known legitimate children, was born in [1090/93], in which case it is unlikely that his daughter could have given birth to a younger son who was archdeacon from [1128].] 

5.          [HUGUES d'Eu (-after May 1162).  Domesday Descendants names "Hugo de Auco" as archdeacon of Totnes, in the diocesis of Exeter, from 1137 to May 1162[1569].  There is no indication of his parentage, and no certainty that he was a member of the comital family of Eu.  If Guillaume and Hugues were the sons of Henri Comte d’Eu, it is likely that they were illegitimate: the father of Henri’s third wife, by whom he had all his known legitimate children, was born in [1090/93], in which case it is unlikely that his daughter could have given birth to a younger son who was archdeacon from [1128].] 

 

 

 

C.      COMTES d'EU (LUSIGNAN)

 

 

RAOUL de Lusignan "d'Exoudun", son of HUGUES [IX] de Lusignan & his wife [Orengarde ---] (-Melle [1 May] 1219, bur Issoudun).  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Radulfum de Esselduno qui fuit comes Augi" as "Hugo Brunus fratrem natu maiorem" (presumably an error for "minorem"), adding that "horum pater Hugo de Lisegnen" had "fratres…Gaufridum, Henricum regem Cypri et Guidonem regem Ierosolimorum"[1570].  "Maiorem" is presumably an error in this source for "minorem", or represents a transcription error: no scenario has been identified in which Raoul being the older brother is compatible with the other information relating to the Lusignan family.  According to the Complete Peerage, "Esselduno" was "Exoudun, Deux-Sèvres, arrondissement Melle, canton La Mothe-Saint-Héray" not "Issoudun, Indre"[1571], although the editor of the Monumenta Germanica series states that the place was "Issoudun, départ. Indre"[1572]Comte d'Eu, Seigneur d'Exoudun, de Melle, et de la Mothe-Saint-Héray.  The date of the marriage and Raoul’s succession as count is uncertain.  It must have taken place before 1194 when "comes de Auco" paid scutage on land in Sussex[1573].  "Radulfus Augensium comes" confirmed donations to Tréport, made by "antecessores mei comes…Robertus et Guillelmus filius eius et Henricus avus Henrici junioris et Johannes pater eiusdem Henrici et idem H.", by charter dated 1191[1574], indicating that the marriage took place some years earlier assuming that this document is correctly dated.  The Annals of Burton record that “Warinus de Clapiun senescallus Normanniæ” besieged “castellum de Denecurt”, on the orders of John King of England, adding that King Richard had given the castle to “Radulpho de Ysoudun comiti de Aueo, fratri Hugonis le Brun”, but that the siege was lifted by Philippe King of France before the arrival of King John[1575].  The same passage is given by Roger of Hoveden[1576].  "Hugo Brunus comes Marchie", on leaving for Jerusalem, recommended "R. comiti Augi et Hugoni filio meo" to take the abbey of Châtelliers under their protection by charter dated to [1200][1577].  "Hugo Brun com March et Rad com Augi" swore homage to John King of England, dated 28 Jan 1200[1578].  Ralph of Coggeshall records that in 1202 John King of England made war against "comitem de Marchis…Hugonem cognomento Brun et fratrem eius comitem de Eu" who had rebelled against him "pro filia comitis Engolismi, quam Hugo prædictus prius affidaverat"[1579].  Seigneur de Civray et de Chizé: an order of King John dated 2 Nov 1202 refers to "gentes Com Augi de Siveray et de Chisie"[1580].  An order of King John dated 7 Nov 1202 granted safe passage for a visit to "R. com Augi"[1581].  "Comes Augi" pledged his lands for his homage to Philippe II King of France, and that of "fratres sui comes Marchie et vicecomes Castri Eraudi" dated (by Delisle) to [1209][1582].  His date of death is indicated by the following document: the mayor and commune of Niort wrote to King Henry III, dated Feb/Mar 1220 (O.S.?), notifying the death of certain persons including “le comte d’Eu, monseigneur Porteclie, messeigneurs Geoffroy du Taunay, A. de Rochefort, Pans de Mirebeau et monseigneur Ceebranz Chaboz” leaving heirs “qui sont en bas âge[1583].  [The following two entries could refer to Raoul, son of Henri, or to Raoul de Issoudun.  The obituary of the church of Eu records the anniversary "1 May" of "Radulfi comitis Augi qui dedit nobis xv libras annui redditus ad luminaria ecclesiæ"[1584].  The obituary of Le Tréport records the anniversary "1 Mai" of "Radulphus comes Augi"[1585].]

Aug…uxor Rad de Exoldun mortua est"[1588].  “A[lix] comitissa Augi” confirmed that she relinquished "terram de Forzex eschæta Guillelmi quondam domini de Forz et comitis Aubemarle" to Louis IX King of France by charter dated Feb 1233 (O.S.)[1589].  The necrology of Ulterioris Portus monastery records the death "14 May" of "Aelis...comitissa Augi"[1590]

c)         [MATHILDE ([1272/74]-[1348/53])The Nobiliario of Pedro Conde de Barcelos records that "D. Alonso Guedella" married "D. Mafalda"[1644]Salazar y Castro asserts that she was "Mathilde de Narbonne señora de Lunel, daughter of Aimeric [VI] Vicomte de Narbonne and his wife Sibylle de Foix[1645]This is presumably based on Zurita’s Anales de la Corona de Aragón, written [1562/80], which record that "don Alonso hijo del Infante don Fernando" married "en Francia…Mofalda…quanto yo congeturo fue de la casa de los Vizcondes de Narbona, y con ella huvo el señorio de Lunel"[1646]Masnata relates that the seigneurie de Lunel passed to the French crown on the death in 1295 of Rousselin last seigneur de Lunel, concluding therefore that Alfonso de la Cerda could not have inherited the seigneurie through his wife (it was granted by Charles IV King of France to Alfonso’s son, Alfonso, see below)[1647].  Masnata found no basis for the supposed origin of Mathilde in Narbonne, and suggests that the wife of Alfonso de la Cerda was Mathilde, daughter of Jean de Brienne Comte d'Eu.  He reaches this conclusion by process of elimination of other possible candidates connected with the French royal family, and after remarking that Jean de Brienne is reported, in early secondary sources, to have had a daughter named Mathilde whose marriage is not otherwise recorded[1648].  Masnata comments that the chronology is correct and the onomastics favourable, as the name Juan passed into the Cerda family after this marriage[1649].  He also quotes the Continuator of the Chronique de Jean de Saint-Victor which names "filz au roy d’Espagne et…une dame de Normandie" as the parents of "monseigneur Aufour" (which refers to Alphonse de la Cerda, son of Alfonso and his wife Mathilde)[1650].  It should nevertheless be emphasised that Masnata has not identified a primary source which confirms that his hypothesis is correct.  She was Alfonso's mistress from [1288/89].  m (1290) don ALFONSO de la Cerda de Castilla, son of Infante don FERNANDO "él de la Cerda" de Castilla y León & his wife Blanche de France (Valladolid 1270-Piedrahita shortly after 23 Dec 1324).] 

2.         [ISABELLE (-[Dec 1302/11 Nov 1307]).  The Chronique des comtes d’Eu, written in 1390, names "Ysabeau de Dompierre...Marguerite de Touars" as the two daughters of "Jehan fils du dit Alphons" and his wife "Bietrix de Saint Pol, fille au conte de Saint Pol", adding that Yolande married "au seigneur de Puiligny et seigneur de Dompierre en la rivière de Somme assez près d’Abbeville en Pontieu"[1651].  There are considerable chronological difficulties if Isabelle and Marguerite were daughters of Jean [II] Comte d’Eu.  In the case of Marguerite, she is recorded as the wife of Vicomte Guy [II] in a charter dated 25 Jul 1278 (see below), while the birth of the wife of Comte Jean [II] is estimated to [1254][1652].  Not enough is known about the chronology of Isabelle to be certain that the same problem exists, but it is likely that she was born not more than ten years or so later than her husband.  It appears more likely that the two were daughters of Jean’s father Alphonse.  m JEAN [II] de Dampierre Seigneur de Dampierre Vicomte de Troyes, son of JEAN [I] Seigneur de Dampierre & his wife Laure de Lorraine ([1251/53]-before 11 Nov 1307).]

4.         BLANCHE (-before 1338).  The Chronique des comtes d’Eu, written in 1390, names "Blanche" as daughter of "messire Alphons...filz au roy Jehan de Hierusalem" and his wife, adding that she was a nun at Maubuisson and later abbess[1657].  Abbess of Maubuisson 1309.  The necrology of Maubuisson records the donation "XVIII Kal Oct" of "Alphonsus comes Augi Francie camerarius…filie sue Blanche"[1658]

Chapter 5.    ROUEN

 

 

A.      VICOMTES de ROUEN

 

 

The pagus Rotomagensis (Roumois), centred on the city of Rouen, was located south of the pagi Tellau [Talou, later the county of Arques] and Caletensis [pays de Caux], north of the diocese of Evreux, and extended to the west as far as the river Risle[1688].  No evidence has been found that Rouen later existed as a separate county in the duchy of Normandy.  The town was the main base of the dukes, and the nobles who are listed below were presumably their direct vassals. 

 

 

1.         GOZELIN Vicomte de Rouen, Vicomte d'Arques.  Orderic Vitalis records that “Goscelinus de Archis” founded “extra muros Rotomagi in monte sanctæ Trinitatis cœnobium, quod vulgo sanctæ Catharinæ dicitur[1689].  "…Gozelinus vicecomes…" witnessed the charter dated Aug 1027 under which Richard II Duke of Normandy donated property to the abbey of Bernay[1690].  "Gozelini…vicecomitis et Emmelinæ uxoris eius" confirmed the foundation in 1030 by Robert II Duke of Normandy of the abbey of Sainte-Trinité at Rouen[1691]An undated charter, dated to [1030/35], records a donation to Sainte-Trinité de Rouen by "vicecomes Rotomagi Gozelinus…fundator" and "Heltone, generosi Gulberti filio", witnessed by "Rotberti comitis, Rotberti archiepiscopi, Gozelini vicecomitis, Emmelinæ uxoris eius, Heltonis, Walberti fratris Heltonis, Willelmi heredis Heltonis"[1692].  "Gozelinus…vicecomes" donated "ecclesiam Montvillæ" to Sainte-Trinité de Rouen, with the consent of "domino meo comite…Rotberto", by undated charter (dated to [1030/35]), signed by "Rotberti comitis, Gozelini vicecomitis, Emmelinæ vicecomitissæ…Hertoldi de Limeisi…"[1693].  "…Gotscellinus Rufus de Formovilla…" are named as present in the charter dated 1035 under which "Willelmus adhuc puerulus…Roberti comitis filius" donated "Turstini villa" to the abbey of Préaux[1694]Robert of Torigny's De Immutatione Ordinis Monachorum records that "Goscelinus vicecomes Arcacensis, patruus Godefridi patris Mathildis uxoris Willelmi camerarii" founded "monasterium Sanctæ Trinitatis in monte Rothomagi"[1695], although the detailed family relationships are inconsistent with those confirmed by other sources.  m EMMELINE, daughter of ---.  "Gozelini…vicecomitis et Emmelinæ uxoris eius" confirmed the foundation in 1030 by Robert II Duke of Normandy of the abbey of Sainte-Trinité at Rouen[1696]An undated charter, dated to [1030/35], records a donation to Sainte-Trinité de Rouen by "vicecomes Rotomagi Gozelinus…fundator" and "Heltone, generosi Gulberti filio", witnessed by "Rotberti comitis, Rotberti archiepiscopi, Gozelini vicecomitis, Emmelinæ uxoris eius, Heltonis, Walberti fratris Heltonis, Willelmi heredis Heltonis"[1697].  "Gozelinus…vicecomes" donated "ecclesiam Montvillæ" to Sainte-Trinité de Rouen, with the consent of "domino meo comite…Rotberto", by undated charter (dated to [1030/35]), signed by "Rotberti comitis, Gozelini vicecomitis, Emmelinæ vicecomitissæ…Hertoldi de Limeisi…"[1698].  A charter of Henry V King of England records donations to Saint-Amand de Rouen including the donations by “Goscelini…vicecomitis et Emmelinæ uxoris eius”, confirmed by Robert Duke of Normandy[1699].  Gozelin & his wife had one child: 

a)         daughter .  Her parentage is confirmed by a charter dated 1080 which relates that "Gozelinus vicecomes de Archis…cum coniuge sua et filiis" founded Sainte-Trinité de Rouen and donated property, and that "Willelmus de Archis heres defuncti…avi sui Gozelini" confirmed the donation[1700].  "Grandfather" must be "maternal grandfather" as the paternal ancestors of Guillaume d'Arques are confirmed by Guillaume de Jumièges (see above and below).  m GODEFROI, son of OSBERN de Bolbec & his [first/second wife Aveline ---/Hawise ---].  Vicomte d'Arques, presumably de iure uxoris

 

2.         RICHARD Vicomte de Rouenm ---, niece of Gunnora mistress of Richard I Comte [de Normandie], daughter of ---.  Guillaume of Jumièges records that “nepotes...plures...Gunnor...earum...tertia” married “Richardo vicecomiti Rothomagensi, patri...Lamberti de Sancto Sidonio[1701].  Richard & his wife had one child:

B.      SEIGNEURS de BEC-CRESPIN

 

 

The relationship if any between Joscelin Crispin, shown below as probable ancestor of the later Seigneurs du Bec-Crespin, and the Crispin family in England (see the document UNTITLED ENGLISH NOBILITY A-C) has not been ascertained.  His 1155 charter, quoted below, confirming donations to Bec made by Guillaume [I], Guillaume [II], their respective wives, and Guillaume [III], suggests that he was at that time the senior male representative of the family in Normandy.  Three different possibilities suggest themselves:

(1) Joscelin was the son of Guillaume [III] Crespin, whose mother was Agnes [d’Etrépagny], one of the properties held by the Bec-Crespin family as shown below.  In this case, the absence of any reference in the document to the relationship between Joscelin and Guillaume would be surprising. 

(2) He was descended from a younger son of Guillaume [I], whose older sons left no surviving descendants.  The document specifies no family connection in this case either, but maybe this is less surprising the more remote the connection.  However, this possibility does not explain the family’s later connection with Etrepagny, assuming that the suggested family origin of Guillaume [III]’s mother is correct, as the property would presumably have reverted to another of her family members if her own descendants failed. 

(3) He was connected with the earlier Crispin family through the female line, having inherited the Normandy properties on condition that he adopted the family name. 

 

Three possible brothers.  The order of their names in the charter quoted below presumably reflects their seniority relative to each other.  The document does not specify any family relationship between them, but the grouping of their names suggests that they were close relatives.  Maybe they were brothers or first cousins. 

 

1.         AMAURY Crispin (-after 1150).  "…Amalricus Crespin, Gislebertus Crespin, Goscelinus Crespin…" witnessed the charter dated to [end 1150/early Sep 1151] under which "H. dux Normannorum" granted privileges to the citizens of Rouen[1704]

e)         EVA Crispin (-[before 1192], bur Mortemer-és-Lions).  The Historia cœnobiii Mortui-Maris records (during the period after "domnus Willelmus natione Anglicus" was appointed abbot of Mortemer, from the context, which appears to have been in [1179/80] judging from other parts of the same text) that "domina…Isabella de Dangu" chose burial at Mortemer and that after she died "vir eius domnus Joscelinus Crispinus et filii eorum" donated revenue "in molendino de Waltot" for her anniversary and that of "patris eius Robertus de Dangu", and also states that "Domina etiam de Harecort filia eius" donated books and other items for her own burial in the abbey[1725].  Thomas Stapleton, in his "Observations on the Great Rolls of the Exchequer of Normandy",  names "William, Robert and Eustace" as the sons of Joscelin Crispin and "Agnes, Eva and Emelina…the daughters…on whom Eva was lady of Harcourt", but he does not cite the primary source which confirms this information[1726].  A charter relating to the [1141 or before] charter for Mortemer quoted above names “Guillaume et Robert, fils de Goscelin Crespin, Eustachie, Agnès, Eve et Emeline ses filles”, undated[1727].  Assuming that all this information is correct, it is reasonable from a chronological point of view to suppose that the husband of Eva Crispin was Robert [II] Seigneur d’Harcourt.  The absence of any wife’s name from her husband’s charter dated 1192 (see the document NORMANDY NOBILITY) suggests that Robert may have been a widower by that date.  m [as  his second wife,] ROBERT [II] "le Vaillant" Seigneur d'Harcourt, son of GUILLAUME Seigneur d’Harcourt & his wife --- (-[1208]).

[Three siblings].  The primary source confirming their parentage has not been identified.  According to Père Anselme, Guillaume [III] Crespin shown below was the same person as Guillaume (named [1172/78]), son of Joscelin Crispin and his wife Isabelle de Dangu (see above)[1730].  La Roque says that Guillaume [III] was “fils de Goscelin Crespin Baron du Bec-Crespin, Livarot et Estrepagny, restaurateur de l’abbaye de Mortemer, et d’Isabeau du Plessis, fille et héritière de Robert du Plessis Seigneur de Dangu[1731].  Given the death of Guillaume [IV] Crespin in 1251, the chronology appears stretched for this to be correct.  Descent from the previous family is indicated by the inheritance of the seigneurie de Dangu, but an intervening generation appears likely. 

 

1.         GUILLAUME [III] Crespin (-[Apr 1216/1224])Seigneur du Bec-Crespin.  “Guillelmus Crispinus” donated property to “monachis Majoris Monasterii apud Verliacum” by charter dated at Dangu Apr 1216[1732]m EVE d’Harcourt Dame de Lisors, daughter of GUILLAUME d’Harcourt & his wife --- (-bur Mortemer).  Le Prévost names “Eve d’Harcourt dame de Lisors fille de Guillaume sire d’Harcourt seigneur de Beauficel” [not traced in the Harcourt family] as wife of Guillaume [III] Crespin and notes her donation dated 1180 to Mortemer where she was buried[1733].  The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified.  Guillaume [III] & his wife had [three] children: 

a)         GUILLAUME [IV] Crespin (-[28 Jul] 1251)Seigneur du Bec-Crespin.  Seigneur de Dangu.  Guillaume [IV] Crespin seigneur de Dangu donated salt and herrings to Joyenval by charter dated 1224[1734].  The necrology of Joyenval records the death “28 Jul“ of "domini Crispini domini [de] Dangut...et Amiciæ uxoris eius filiæ domini fundatoris” and their donation of revenue “apud Montemealvum et jus patronatus de Herbetot[1735]m firstly ([1210/20?]) AMICIE de Roye, daughter of BARTHELEMY de Roye & his wife Petronille de Montfort (-[28 Jul] ----).  Her marriage date is estimated very approximately based on the likely chronology of the Roye family.  The necrology of Joyenval records the death “28 Jul“ of "domini Crispini domini [de] Dangut...et Amiciæ uxoris eius filiæ domini fundatoris” and their donation of revenue “apud Montemealvum et jus patronatus de Herbetot[1736]m secondly ALIX de Sancerre, daughter of ETIENNE [II] de Sancerre Seigneur de Saint-Brisson et de Châtillon-sur-Loing & his first wife Eléonore de Soissons ([1210/20?]-after 1263).  Her parentage and marriage are indicated by the decision of the Paris parliament dated 1263 granting a share in their paternal inheritance “de Lopa et de Marcheisvillam”, which they claimed from “leur frère le comte de Sancerre”, to la dame de Dangu et à la vicomtesse de Melun[1737].  Her birth date is estimated very approximately to test the chronology of her husband’s family.  Guillaume [IV] & his first wife had one child: 

i)          GUILLAUME [V] Crespin ([1215/20?]-[19 Jun] [1293]).  Père Anselme records Guillaume [V] as son of Guillaume [IV] by his father’s first marriage, noting that he accompanied Louis IX King of France “en son voyage en Afrique en 1269[1738].  His mother’s identity is confirmed by his necrology entry cited below.  His birth date is estimated very approximately, based on the likely marriage date of his parents and bearing in mind the chronology of the other members of the Crespin family.  Seigneur du Bec-Crespin.  Connétable de Normandie (inherited from his wife’s family).  Guillaume Crespin swore homage to Louis IX King of France, for his paternal inheritance, for “les terres de sa femme et la charge de connétable de Normandie”, by charter dated 11 Jun 1254[1739]Guillaume dit Crespin seignor de Dangu” settled a dispute with the Templars who claimed rights “ès bois qui furent mon seignor Robert Crespin, oncle de mon pere...Guillaume Crespin chevalier” by charter dated 1256[1740].  Maréchal de France: Charpillon records that a decision of the parlement de Paris dated 1293 names Guillaume Crespin as Maréchal de France, and that he was named in two other charters in the same year, one confirming donations to Bec and the other granting “à Pierre de Chambly sa terre de Neuafles” in fief (no source cited)[1741].  Charpillon suggests that he died soon afterwards.  D’Hozier records that “Guillaume Crespin V du Nom Maréchal de France” and “Adam de Melun IV du Nom”, having succeeded to the rights of “leurs mères”, agreed in 1293 a division of territories under which the latter “eut pour son lot toute la maison forte de Chatillon [sur-Loing]...” and the former “le reste” [territories not listed][1742]The necrology of Joyenval records the death “19 Jun“ 1266 [incorrect year] of "domini Guillelmi Crispini junioris militis filii dominæ Amiciæ de Roya[1743]m (before 11 Jun 1254) JEANNE de Mortemer Dame de Varanguebec, daughter of GUILLAUME de Mortemer Baron de Varanguebec, Connétable de Normandie & his wife --- (-before 1271).  Le Prévost records her parentage and marriage (no sources cited)[1744]Heiress of the connétablie de Normandie.  Her husband’s 11 Jun 1254 charter cited above indicates that the couple were already married at that date.  Charpillon records that, after the death of his wife, in 1271 Guillaume Crespin lost his claim to retain the connétablie de Normandie during the minority of his children, unable to prove that “ce titre était attaché à la terre de Varengebec” (no source cited)[1745].  Guillaume [V] & his wife had two children: 

(a)       GUILLAUME [VI] Crespin (-[12 Nov 1318/1330]).  Père Anselme records his parentage, noting documents dated 31 Dec 1297, 1300, 8 Sep 1302, 1310 and 12 Nov 1318 in which he was named, adding that “il étoit mort en 1330 lorsque sa veuve obtint son douaire sur les terres de Normandie[1746].  Richemond names “Guillaume VI de Bec-Crespin sire d’Etrépagny et connétable héréditaire de Normandie, fils du maréchal Guillaume V Crespin et de Jeanne de Mortemer dame de Varanguebec” as the husband of Mathilde de Bommiers[1747]Seigneur du Bec-Crespin.  Seigneur d’Etrépagny.

The following reconstruction of later generations of this family is based mainly on information shown by Père Anselme, who does cite some sources, but who should be viewed with caution particularly bearing in mind the chronological difficulties which are highlighted below and for which no satisfactory resolution has yet been found.   

 

JEAN Crespin, son of GUILLAUME [V] Crespin Seigneur du Bec-Crespin & his wife Jeanne de Mortemer Dame de Varanguebec (-[12 Nov 1318/Feb 1324]).  Père Anselme records his parentage, noting that he donated property to Gomer-Fontaine abbey in 1315 and that he was summoned “avec son frère pour se trouver à Lisieux aux brandons de l’an 1318 [=12 Nov], devant les députés que le roi y avoit envoyés[1759].  He was a minor on the death of his mother [before 1271], see above.  Seigneur de Dangu, de Mauny et de Lisores.  “Jean Crespin et Jeanne Bertrand sa femme, héritière de la baronnie de Thury” donated woods to Saint-Etienne-de-Fontenay abbey by charter dated 1305[1760].  He may have died before Feb 1323 (O.S.), the date when his son was fined (see below). 

m JEANNE [Taisson] [de Bertrand] Dame de Thury, daughter of --- ([1260?]-after 1305).  Père Anselme records her family origin and marriage[1761].  Few data points are available from which her birth date can be estimated with any confidence, although if the birth of Jeanne d’Avaugour (wife of her younger son Jean) is correctly dated to [1280/85], it is unlikely that Jeanne was born much later than 1260.  “Jean Crespin et Jeanne Bertrand sa femme, héritière de la baronnie de Thury” donated woods to Saint-Etienne-de-Fontenay abbey by charter dated 1305[1762].  The connection between Jean’s wife and Thury is confirmed by her granddaughter Blanche being recorded as Dame de Thury (see below).  Thury, originally held by the Taisson family, passed to the Bertrand family when Jeanne Taisson (second daughter and co-heiress of Raoul Taisson) married Robert [V] Bertrand in [1215/16] (see the document NORMANDY NOBILITY-AVRANCHES, BAYEUX, COTENTIN).  Thury passed to their second son Guillaume Bertrand.  With this background, there are several possibilities for Jeanne’s parentage: 

·       Thury may have passed to one of the three unnamed daughters of Guillaume Bertrand (a source records that the oldest daughter received “Tuit”), in which case Jean Crespin’s wife may have been Jeanne Bertrand, daughter of Guillaume Bertrand Seigneur de Thury et de Tuit & his wife ---.  In such circumstances, it would not be unusual for Jeanne to adopt the name “Taisson” after her paternal grandmother’s family.  From a chronological point of view, this suggested parentage is compatible with Jeanne’s suggested birth in [1260?] as the birth of Guillaume Bertrand can be dated to [1217/25]. 

·       The name “Taisson” was adopted by the descendants of the oldest daughter of Raoul Taisson (wife of William Paynell) who were based at the castle of La Roche-Taisson.  The Taisson inheritance, divided between Raoul’s three daughters, was the subject of continual litigation (the last recorded lawsuit was in 1381).  Given this situation, Thury may at some point have been transferred by Guillaume Bertrand to his Taisson/Paynell cousins as part of arrangements to settle the family disputes.  If that is correct, Jean Crespin’s wife may have been Jeanne Taisson, maybe daughter (or granddaughter) of Raoul Taisson.  This suggestion also appears compatible with Jeanne’s suggested birth date as Raoul’s birth can probably be dated to [1217/25], although it should be borne in mind that the brief report of the 1381 litigation does not mention any such transfer of Thury.  The suggestion also recalls a reference by Gaillardon to “Jean Crespin, mari d’une autre Jeanne Tesson” holding “une partie du domaine [de Thuit]” in 1256[1763].  While the date is incompatible with this referring to Jean Crespin who died in [1318/24], it is possible that the date was mistaken and that the “autre Jeanne” belonged to the Taisson/Paynell family.  The problem with this alternative is if Jeanne was actually named “Bertrand” in the 1305 charter as reported above. 

·       The “Noble lignée de Hambie Painel” manuscript, published by La Roque, records a relationship between the Paynell/Hambye family and “Monsieur d’Estouteville Baron de Torchy et à ses filles à cause de leur premere qui fut fille de Monsieur Guillaume Crespin Baron du Bec, Crespin qui issit de noble Dame Jeanne Bertran Dame de Thury et Monsieur de Hambie au 5o degré, et les Bertrans et ledit de Torchy au sixième degré[1764].  The “noble Dame Jeanne Bertran Dame de Thury” was presumably the wife of Jean Crespin.  This passage in the “Noble lignée” is difficult to interpret with confidence, but Polonovski suggests that Jean’s wife was Jeanne Bertrand, sister of Robert [VI] Bertrand (who married Alix de Tancarville), the oldest son of Robert [V] Bertrand and Jeanne Taisson[1765].  However, his suggestion is incompatible with the chronology given the births of Robert [V]’s children in [1217/1230]. 

Jean & his wife had three children (the following reconstruction of Jean’s descendants is based only on Père Anselme.  : 

1.         GUILLAUME [VII] Crespin ([1280/85?]-after Feb 1324)Père Anselme records his parentage, noting that he was fined in Feb 1323 (O.S.?) and that the king “lui fit don l’année suivante du droit de tiers et danger qu’il avoit en ses bois[1766]Seigneur de Mauny.  No indication has been found of his date of death, but his wife’s second marriage suggests that he died young.  m as her first husband, JEANNE de Moy, daughter of ---.  Père Anselme records her parentage and two marriages, noting that her son sued his stepfather in 1368[1767].  This date seems late for consistency with Guillaume [VII]’s likely birth date.  Could his marriage with Jeanne de Moy have been his second?  She married secondly Jean de Méricourt.  Guillaume [VII] & his wife had two children: 

a)         GUILLAUME [VIII] Crespin ([1315/25?]-after Sep 1388).  Père Anselme records his parentage, citing sources dated 31 (?) Apr 1343, 10 Jun 1369, 1370, 1377 and Sep 1388 in which he was named[1768]Seigneur de Mauny et du Bec-Crespin.  [m firstly ---.  As noted below, Charpillon’s suggestion about the date of Guillaume [VIII]’s known marriage seems incompatible with his suggested birth date, unless this was his second marriage.  An earlier marriage would also be consistent with the likely birth date of his supposed daughter with the Estouteville marriage.]  m [secondly] ([1380]) --- Calletot Dame “des trois villes de S. Denis en la forêt de Lions”, daughter of GUILLAUME [II] de Calletot Seigneur de Fleury, de Lilly et de Morgny & his wife ---.  Père Anselme records her family origin and marriage[1769].  Charpillon names her father and her [supposed] sister “Jeanne mariée à Jean de Montmorency” (no sources cited)[1770].  The reference to her supposed sister is incorrect:  Jeanne de Calletot, wife of Jean Seigneur de Montmorency (died 1326), was the daughter of Robert de Calletot (see the document PARIS REGION NOBILITY-BEAUMONT & BEAUVAIS): Duchesne makes the same error[1771]Charpillon dates the marriage to “vers 1380” (no sources cited)[1772], which seems incompatible with Guillaume’s suggested date of birth unless this was a second marriage (and in any event seems late for compatibility with the Crespin chronology). Guillaume [VIII] & his [first] wife had [one child]: 

i)          [--- Crespin ([1365/70?]-[before 1390?]).  Her possible parentage and marriage are indicated by the “Noble lignée de Hambie Painel” manuscript, published by La Roque, which records a relationship between the Paynell/Hambye family and “Monsieur d’Estouteville Baron de Torchy et à ses filles à cause de leur premere qui fut fille de Monsieur Guillaume Crespin Baron du Bec, Crespin qui issit de noble Dame Jeanne Bertran Dame de Thury et Monsieur de Hambie au 5o degré, et les Bertrans et ledit de Torchy au sixième degré[1773].  The chronology suggests that, if this person was a member of the Crespin family, she was the daughter of Guillaume [VIII].  Follow the hyperlink for a full discussion of the problem.  m ([1380/85]) [as his second wife,] COLART d’Estouteville Seigneur de Torcy, son of JEAN d’Estouteville Seigneur de Torcy et d’Estoutemont & his wife [Jeanne] [de Fiennes] (-killed in battle Azincourt 25 Oct 1415).] 

Guillaume [VIII] & his [second] wife had two children:

ii)         GUILLAUME [IX] Crespin (-before 1425).  Bearing in mind the likely birth of his father in [1315/25], Guillaume [IX]’s birth would be expected in [1340/55] but this is far too early if his father’s known marriage is correctly dated to [1380] as suggested by Charpillon (see above).  His father having contracted two marriages may go some way to resolving the problem as suggested above.  Père Anselme records his parentage and marriage, noting that he supported the French king against the English and that his lands were confiscated in 1418 and granted to “Jean Falcon chevalier Anglois[1774]Seigneur de Mauny et du Bec-Crespin.  m JACQUELINE d’Auvricher, daughter of --- (-after 1425).  Père Anselme records her family origin and marriage, noting that she was a widow in 1425 when granted money by the king (no source citation)[1775]Guillaume [IX] & his wife had three children:
