Chapter 1. VICOMTES de BROSSE
A. VICOMTES de BROSSE
The castle of Brosse was located in Berry, in the commune of Chaillac, arrondissement Le Blanc, in the present-day French département of Indre. The reconstruction of the family of the early Vicomtes de Brosse is uncertain. It is shown below without square brackets, but the difficulty is that, as so little information has been verified in primary source documents, it is a question of showing everything or nothing square bracketed. The reconstruction shown in the present document is based almost exclusively on the 17th and 18th century authors Le Laboureur (as reproduced by Beauchet-Filleau[1]) and Père Anselme[2], neither of which give precise primary source citations. The outline has been more or less adopted in modern secondary sources, such as Europäische Stammtafeln, without question. In some cases, reference is made in these old secondary sources to donations made on specific dates which, if correct, provide a factual basis for some of the information. In addition, some references have been found in published cartularies, particulary Saint-Benoît-du-Loire in relation to donations to the affiliated church of Saint-Benoît-du-Sault which was located near the castle of Brosse. Additional references to the vicomtes de Brosse are apparently found in the Cartulaire des seigneurs de Châteauroux[3], but this work has not yet been consulted. Until more primary source information emerges, it is recommended that the reconstruction should be treated with caution. The family is interesting for later history particularly because a junior branch inherited the county of Penthièvre in the 1430s by marriage, and in the later 15th century made several important dynastic marriages, including with the comtes de Savoie, although they fall outside the main chronological scope of Medieval Lands.
1. [RAOUL . Vicomte [de Brosse]. "Willelmi comitis, Hugoni comitis, item Hugoni, Savarici vicecomitis, Kadeloni vicecomitis, Adraldi vicecomitis, Radulfi vicecomitis…" subscribed the charter dated [936/37] ("anno I Ludovico regnante") under which "Senegundis" donated "alodem suum in pago Alienense, in vicaria Basiacinse in villa…Fornax…" to St Cyprien, Poitiers[4]. Richard states that Guillaume I “Tête d'Etoupes/Caput-stupæ” Comte de Poitou created Raoul as vicomte de Brosse to assure his northern frontier against the king of France[5]. He cites no primary source to support his statement, but his statement may have been based on the reference to "…Radulfi vicecomitis…" in the [936/37] charter. Settipani suggests another possible interpretation: as "Hugonis comitis, item Hugoni" can reasonably be identified as Hugues [I] Comte du Maine, and maybe his son or other close relative also named Hugues, it is not unreasonable to identify "Radulfi vicecomitis" as Raoul [I] Vicomte du Maine or one of his predecessors (see the document MAINE)[6]. If this is correct, it is possible that Richard is inaccurate in his statement and that the vicomté de Brosse was first created much later.]
2. --- . [Vicomte de Brosse.] m ---. [One child]: a) [ROTHILDE . According to Le Laboureur, Rothilde was the daughter of a vicomte de Brosse (unnamed), although Settipani has pointed out that no primary source reference is quoted in his work to support this statement and suggests that it may be based on an unsound conclusion drawn because the castle of Brosse was held by Rothilde’s descendants and is later recorded as a vicomté[7]. "Hildegarius Lemovicensium pontifex" granted privileges to Uzerche, naming "genitore meo…domno Geraldo vicecomite necnon et genetrice mea Rotilde…" by charter dated to [970/86][8]. "Rotildis vicecomitissa" donated "mansum…a Monsor…in vicaria Usercensi" to Uzerche, for the souls of "Archambaldi senioris mariti mei" who had given this property to her and "Geraldi vicecomitis senioris mei", by charter dated to [Jul 987/988], witnessed by "filii eiusdem Rothildis, Aldegarius episcopus, Guido, Geraldus, Alduinus abbas et cæteri filii…"[9]. Possible family connections of Rothilde’s first husband are suggested by the charter dated to [1003/36] under which "Rotbertus de Chatmart et Gaufredus frater eius…Ermesindis et Belieldis uxores eorum, Ebolus et Guido et Geraldus filii Gaufredi, Arcambaldus et Geraldus filii Rotberti" donated property in "manso de Monsor" to Uzerche[10], the connection being "Monsor" [Moussours near Uzerche]. m firstly ARCHAMBAUD, son of ---. m secondly GERAUD Vicomte de Limoges, son of HILDEGAIRE Vicomte de Limoges & his wife Thiberge --- ([905/10]-988).]
1. BERNARD [I] de Brosse, son of [ADEMAR [I] Vicomte de Limoges] & his wife [Senegundis] [d'Aunay] . Vicomte de Brosse. Bernard [I] Vicomte de Brosse is stated in secondary sources, including Europäische Stammtafeln[11], to have been the son of Adémar [I] Vicomte de Limoges. Beauchet-Filleau states that Bernard [I] was the son of Vicomte Ademar but cites no primary source[12]. The primary source which confirms that this parentage is correct has not yet been identified. The chronology of his son Gérard [I] suggests that Bernard [I] could not have been the son of Ademar. The early history of the vicomtes de Brosse is hazy and until more information comes to light it is suggested that this proposed affiliation be treated with caution. Bernard [I] is not mentioned by Père Anselme[13]. m ---. The name of Bernard’s wife is not known. Bernard [I] & his wife had two children: a) GERARD [I] de Brosse (-after 1139). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 1154 under which Pierre Archbishop of Bourges, in the presence of "Bernardus vicecomes de Brucia", confirmed an agreement between the abbot of Fleury and "Giraudum patrem predicti vicecomitis", quoting an earlier charter issued by "Giraudus et Fulco frater meus, Brucie vicecomites" naming "Bernardi patris ipsius Giraudi"[14]. Vicomte de Brosse. Beauchet-Filleau states that Gérard Vicomte de Brosse is named in 1120 and 1136, donated property to la Maison-Dieu de Montmorillon, and inherited the vicomté de Bridiers in 1139 after the death of his cousin Bérard vicomte de Bridier, but cites no corresponding primary source[15]. "Giraudus et Fulco frater meus, vicecomites" abandoned rights over Saint-Benoît-du-Sault in favour of the monastery of Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire by charter dated 1137 (before 9 Apr)[16]. Louis VII King of France "et dux Aquitanorum" defended the right of "G. vicecomite de Brucia" to impose customs on the church of Saint-Benoît-du-Sault by charter dated to [1137/54][17]. m AGNES [de Liveran], daughter of ---. Père Anselme names "Agnes" as wife of "Géraud vicomte de Brosse" but cites no primary source[18]. Beauchet-Filleau states that Gérard Vicomte de Brosse married "Agnès de Liveran? (dit-on)", but cites no corresponding primary source[19]. Gérard [I] & his wife had five children: i) BERNARD [II] de Brosse (-after [1167]). Beauchet-Filleau names "Bernard…Foulques…Guillaume, Guy…Garnier" as the children of Gérard Vicomte de Brosse and his wife, adding that Bernard and Foulques obtained le château de Bridiers from the king in [1167], but cites no corresponding primary source[20]. Pierre Archbishop of Bourges, in the presence of "Bernardus vicecomes de Brucia", confirmed an agreement between the abbot of Fleury and "Giraudum patrem predicti vicecomitis", by charter dated 1154, quoting an earlier charter issued by "Giraudus et Fulco frater meus, Brucie vicecomites" naming "Bernardi patris ipsius Giraudi"[21]. "Bernardus vicecomes de Brucia, major natu Geraudi vicecomitis filius" reached an agreement with Saint-Benoît-du-Sault concerning the town of Sault by charter dated 1154[22]. "Bernard vicomte de Brosse" confirmed donations to the abbey of Aubignac by charter dated 1165[23]. m --- [de la Pastoresse], daughter of ---. Père Anselme names "N--- de la Pastoresse, sœur de Pierre prévôt de Salles" as wife of Bernard [I] but cites no primary source[24]. Beauchet-Filleau names "Pastoresse (appelée par d’autres Philiberte la Pastoresse, sœur dit-on de Pierre prévôt de Solles?)" as the wife of Bernard [II] Vicomte de Brosse, but cites no corresponding primary source[25]. Bernard [II] & his wife had two children: (a) BERNARD [III] de Brosse (-after Mar 1193). Père Anselme names "Bernard…vicomte de Brosse, Bérard de Brosse, dit de la Pastoresse" as the children of Bernard [II] Vicomte de Brosse, adding that Bernard [II] was living in 1175, but cites no primary sources[26]. - see below. (b) BERARD de Brosse . Père Anselme names "Bernard…vicomte de Brosse, Bérard de Brosse, dit de la Pastoresse" as the children of Bernard [II] Vicomte de Brosse, but cites no primary source[27]. ii) GUILLAUME de Brosse . Père Anselme names "Bernard vicomte de Brosse, Guillaume, Guy, Fouques, Garnier, Guy, Bernard" as the children of Gérard Vicomte de Brosse, but cites no primary source[28]. Beauchet-Filleau names "Bernard…Foulques…Guillaume, Guy…Garnier" as the children of Gérard Vicomte de Brosse and his wife, but cites no primary source[29]. iii) GUY de Brosse . Père Anselme names "Bernard vicomte de Brosse, Guillaume, Guy, Fouques, Garnier, Guy, Bernard" as the children of Gérard Vicomte de Brosse, adding that Guy married "Alpays" and was father of "Raimond de Brosse", but cites no primary sources[30]. m ALPAIS, daughter of ---. Père Anselme names "Bernard vicomte de Brosse, Guillaume, Guy, Fouques, Garnier, Guy, Bernard" as the children of Gérard Vicomte de Brosse, adding that Guy married "Alpays" and was father of "Raimond de Brosse", but cites no primary sources[31]. Guy & his wife had one child: (a) RAYMOND de Brosse . Père Anselme names "Bernard vicomte de Brosse, Guillaume, Guy, Fouques, Garnier, Guy, Bernard" as the children of Gérard Vicomte de Brosse, adding that Guy married "Alpays" and was father of "Raimond de Brosse", but cites no primary sources[32]. iv) FOULQUES de Brosse . Père Anselme names "Bernard vicomte de Brosse, Guillaume, Guy, Fouques, Garnier, Guy, Bernard" as the children of Gérard Vicomte de Brosse, but cites no primary source[33]. Beauchet-Filleau names "Bernard…Foulques…Guillaume, Guy…Garnier" as the children of Gérard Vicomte de Brosse and his wife, adding that Bernard and Foulques obtained le château de Bridiers from the king in [1167], but cites no corresponding primary source[34]. v) GARNIER de Brosse . Père Anselme names "Bernard vicomte de Brosse, Guillaume, Guy, Fouques, Garnier, Guy, Bernard" as the children of Gérard Vicomte de Brosse, but cites no primary source[35]. b) FOULQUES de Brosse (-after 1137). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 1154 under which Pierre Archbishop of Bourges, in the presence of "Bernardus vicecomes de Brucia", confirmed an agreement between the abbot of Fleury and "Giraudum patrem predicti vicecomitis", quoting an earlier charter issued by "Giraudus et Fulco frater meus, Brucie vicecomites" naming "Bernardi patris ipsius Giraudi"[36]. "Giraudus et Fulco frater meus, vicecomites" abandoned rights over Saint-Benoît-du-Sault in favour of the monastery of Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire by charter dated 1137 (before 9 Apr)[37].
BERNARD [III] de Brosse, son of BERNARD [II] Vicomte de Brosse & his wife --- [de la Pastoresse] (-after Mar 1193). Père Anselme names "Bernard…vicomte de Brosse, Bérard de Brosse, dit de la Pastoresse" as the children of Bernard [II] Vicomte de Brosse, adding that Bernard [II] was living in 1175, but cites no primary sources[38]. Vicomte de Brosse. “Bernardus vicecomes Brutie" swore homage to Philippe II King of France by charter dated Mar 1193 (maybe O.S.)[39]. m (after [1187/91]) as her second husband, ALMODIS d'Angoulême, widow of AMANIEU [IV] Seigneur d'Albret, daughter of GUILLAUME VI Comte d'Angoulême & his second wife Marguerite de Turenne ([1151/52]-). Her birth date is estimated on the assumption that the birth of her probable son by her first marriage is correctly dated to [1165/70]. Her parentage and first marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 1171 under which "Vuillelmus Talafers comes Engolismensis Vulgrini filius et Margarita uxor mea et filii nostri Vulgrinus scilicet primogenitus noster, Vuillelmus Talafers, Ademarus, Grisetus, Fulco et Almodis filia nostra uxor Amanei de Lebret" transferred rights to Saint-Amant-de-Boixe[40]. Her second marriage is confirmed by the charter dated to [1186/91] under which "Ademarus comes Engolismensis et soror mea Almodis vicecomitissa de Brozces" donated property to Saint-Amant-de-Boixe[41], and by the charter also dated to [1186/91] under which "Almodis soror Ademari Engolismensis comitis" donated property to Saint-Amant-de-Boixe with the consent of "fratre meo A comite et viro meo Bernardo vicecomite de Brozces"[42]. The dating of Almodis’s second marriage is difficult to estimate with any certainty. Her first husband is named in a source dated 1164, and "Amaneus de Labret" confirmed rights to Grande-Selve by charter dated 1187[43]. However, it is uncertain whether the second document relates to Amanieu [IV] Seigneur d’Albret or to Amanieu [V]. Considering her estimated birth date, it is unlikely that Almodis would have married secondly as late as 1187. Bernard [III] & his wife had one child: 1. BERNARD [IV] de Brosse ([1188 or after]-after 1221). Père Anselme names "Bernard…vicomte de Brosse" as the son of Bernard [III] Vicomte de Brosse, noting that he made several donations "à l’église de Montmorillon", but cites no primary sources[44]. Vicomte de Brosse. Beauchet-Filleau states that Bernard [IV] Vicomte de Brosse (for whom he gives no affiliation) donated property to "la Maison-Dieu de Montmorillon", dated 1211 and 1221, but does not cite the corresponding primary sources[45]. m ---. The name of Bernard’s wife is not known. Bernard [IV] & his wife had [three] children: a) [HUGUES [I] de Brosse (-after 1256). Père Anselme names "Hugues vicomte de Brosse, Guillaume" as the two sons of Bernard [IV] Vicomte de Brosse, but cites no primary sources[46]. As noted below, it is also possible that Hugues [I] Vicomte de Brosse was the son of Gérard [II] Vicomte de Brosse.] - see below. b) GUILLAUME de Brosse (-Brinon 8 Feb 1269, bur Sens Saint-Etienne). Père Anselme names "Hugues vicomte de Brosse, Guillaume" as the two sons of Bernard [IV] Vicomte de Brosse, but cites no primary sources[47]. Canon at Sens. Archbishop of Sens 1258, resigned 1267. Gallia Christiana records his death "apud Brienonem” in Feb 1269 and burial at Saint-Etienne[48]. c) ELEONORE de Brosse ([1210/20]-after 1250). Père Anselme names "Ænor de Brosse dame des Essarts" as daughter of Bernard [IV] Vicomte de Brosse and records that she married "Thibaut Chabot IV…seigneur de Roche-Cerviere, fils de Thibaut Chabot III…", but cites no primary sources[49]. Her date of birth is estimated consistent with the date of marriage of her paternal grandparents. "Theobaldus Chabot dominus de Rupe Cerveria et de Exsartis" granted dower to "Aenordi de Brocia uxori mee", with the consent of "Girardi Chaboti et Scebrandi Chaboti militum", by charter dated Jun 1250[50]. m THIBAUT [V] Chabot Seigneur de la Roche-Cervière, son of SEBRAND [II] Chabot & his wife Agnes --- ([1205/15]-after May 1251).
1. --- de Brosse . The identity of the father of Vicomte Gérard [II] is not known. However, from a chronological point of view he could have been Bérard (error for Gérard?), younger brother of Bernard [III] Vicomte de Brosse (see above). m [as her first husband,] AGATHE de Preuilly, daughter of PIERRE [II] de Preuilly & his wife Eléonore ---. Her marriage is confirmed by the charter dated 1198 (after Sep) under which her son "Giraudus vicecomes Brucie, filius domne Agathe de Prullet" abandoned rights in favour of Saint-Benoît-du-Sault[51]. Her marriage and family origin are further indicated by Beauchet-Filleau who states that Géraud Vicomte de Brosse "neveu de Pierre de Monrubé Seigneur de Preuilly" confirmed the donations of his uncle to la Merci-Dieu by charter dated 1229, suggesting that Gérard was therefore the son of the sister of the seigneur de Preuilly[52]. Her more precise parentage is shown in Europäische Stammtafeln which names "Agathe de Preuilly, daughter of Pierre [II] Sire de Preuilly dit de Montrabel" as the second wife of Bernard [III] Vicomte de Brosse, and also records that she married secondly as his first wife, Hugues [X] "le Brun" Seigneur de Lusignan, who was later Comte de La Marche [53]. No indication has been found that Vicomte Gérard was the son of Vicomte Bernard [III]. In addition, the chronology of the known marriage of Vicomte Bernard [III] appears to exclude the possibility of a second marriage which would be consistent with that second wife’s own second marriage to Hugues [X]. It is assumed, therefore, that the husband of Agathe de Preuilly and father of Gérard [II] was another vicomte de Brosse. The primary source which confirms her supposed second marriage has not yet been identified. One child: a) GERARD [II] de Brosse (before [1180/84]-after 21 Jul 1239). Père Anselme does not mention Gérard [II] Vicomte de Brosse[54]. Vicomte de Brosse. "Giraudus vicecomes Brucie, filius domne Agathe de Prullet" abandoned rights in favour of Saint-Benoît-du-Sault by charter dated 1198 (after Sep)[55]. His birth date range is estimated on the assumption that he had reached the age of majority when he issued this charter, but he could have been considerably earlier as no direct indication has been found of his age. "Géraud vicomte de Brosse" granted protection and exemptions to the abbey of Aubignac by charter dated 1203[56]. “Petrus de Monte Rabei” donated “centum...in pedagio Roche” to Bécheron by charter dated to 1204, witnessed by “De militibus...Giraudus de Brocea nepos meus...”[57]. “Eschivardus de Pruliaco” confirmed the donation of “centum...in pedagio Roche” made to Bécheron by “pater meus Petrus de Monte Rabei”, with the consent of “Matildis uxor mea et filii mei Gaufredus, Josbertus, Enricus, Jordanus, Gauterius et Petrus...Gaufrido fratre meo”, by charter dated 1204, witnessed by “G. vicecomite de Brocia...”[58]. "Giraudus vicecomes Bruciæ" donated revenue Saint-Benoît-du-Sault by charter dated 1205[59]. "Vicecomes Brucie" donated a free man to Saint-Benoît-du-Sault by charter dated May 1209[60]. "G[eraldus] vicecomes Bruciæ" freed serfs who "Guido de Brucia cognatus meus" had donated to Saint-Benoît-du-Sault with the consent of "dominæ matris suæ", by charter dated 1218[61]. "Giraudus vicecomes Bruciæ" granted exclusive rights to Saint-Benoît-du-Sault by charter dated 1220[62]. Seigneur de Pouzauges. "G. vicecomes Brociarum, dominus Pozaugiarum et domina Bellassatis uxor nostra" submitted disputes with the Templars to arbitration by charter dated 5 Dec 1227[63]. Seigneur de Pareds. "G. vicecomes Brucie, dominus Alperusiensis et Bellasatis eius uxor" donated a serf to the Templars by charter dated 1228[64]. "G. vicecomes Brocearum, dominus Pozaugiarum et…Bellasatis uxor eius" abandoned rights to certain serfs to the Templars by charter dated 17 Aug 1228[65]. Beauchet-Filleau states that Géraud Vicomte de Brosse "neveu de Pierre de Monrubé Seigneur de Preuilly" confirmed the donations of his uncle to la Merci-Dieu by charter dated 1229[66]. "Geraldus vicecomes Bruciæ" relinquished rights over "Joanna filia Chavegau" to Saint-Benoît-du-Sault by charter dated 1229[67]. "Geraldus vicecomes Brucie" donated serfs to Saint-Benoît-du-Sault, with the consent of "Hugonis et Petri filiorum meorum", by charter dated 1232[68]. "Giraldus vicecomes Brucie" relinquished rights in favour of Saint-Benoît-du-Sault by charter dated 1234[69]. Geraud Vicomte de Brosse acknowledged that taking meals at Saint-Benoît-du-Sault did not establish custom by charter dated 1237[70]. "G[eraudus] vicecomes Brucie" donated a serf to Saint-Benoît-du-Sault by charter dated May 1239[71]. "Giraudus vicecomes Bruciæ" granted hunting rights to Saint-Benoît-du-Sault by charter dated 21 Jul 1239[72]. [m firstly ---. If it is correct, as stated below, that Gérard’s known wife was the widow of Savary de Mauléon, Gérard’s sons must have been born from an earlier marriage assuming that they were of age to give consent to their father’s donation dated 1232.] m [secondly] (before 5 Dec 1227) [as her second husband,] BELLASSEZ [de Pareds], [repudiated wife of SAVARY de Mauléon,] daughter of [PIERRE de Pareds & his wife ---] (-after 17 Aug 1228). "G. vicecomes Brociarum, dominus Pozaugiarum et domina Bellassatis uxor nostra" submitted disputes with the Templars to arbitration by charter dated 5 Dec 1227[73]. Beauchet-Filleau states that Géraud Vicomte de Brosse married "Belle-Assez de Chantemerle, veuve de Savary de Mauléon, fille de Guillaume seigneur de Pouzauges et de Maxence de Beuil", adding that the couple was childless "croyons-nous" (no primary sources cited)[74]. The primary source which confirms the co-identity of Gérard’s [second] wife with the wife of Savary de Mauléon has not been identified (although her unusual name is indicative). If Beauchet-Fillau is correct, the chronology indicates that Bellassez was not the widow of her first husband, who must have repudiated her. "G. vicecomes Brucie, dominus Alperusiensis et Bellasatis eius uxor" donated a serf to the Templars by charter dated 1228[75]. "G. vicecomes Brocearum, dominus Pozaugiarum et…Bellasatis uxor eius" abandoned rights to certain serfs to the Templars by charter dated 17 Aug 1228[76]. Gérard [II] & his [first] wife had two children: i) HUGUES de Brosse (-after 1232). "Geraldus vicecomes Brucie" donated serfs to Saint-Benoît-du-Sault, with the consent of "Hugonis et Petri filiorum meorum", by charter dated 1232[77]. No other reference has been found to Hugues, son of Gérard [II]. same person as…? HUGUES [I] Vicomte de Brosse (-after 1256). One possibility is that he was the same person as Hugues [I] Vicomte de Brosse, who according to Père Anselme was the son of Vicomte Bernard [IV], an affiliation which has not yet been confirmed by any primary source documentation. One difficulty with this theory is the absence of the name Pierre, given to the brother of Hugues de Brosse, among the known descendants of Vicomte Hugues [I] earlier than the son of Roger de Brosse Seigneur de Sainte-Sevère. - see below. ii) PIERRE de Brosse (-[1247 or after]). "Geraldus vicecomes Brucie" donated serfs to Saint-Benoît-du-Sault, with the consent of "Hugonis et Petri filiorum meorum", by charter dated 1232[78]. Seigneur de la Châtre-le-Vicomte. [Vicomte de Brosse. The testament of "Pierre vicomte de Brosse", extracted from the cartulary of Aubignac, is dated 1247[79]. The date of this document suggests that it refers to the same Pierre de Brosse who supposedly married Marie d’Orléans, although no other indication has been found that he was titled “vicomte”.] m [as her second husband, MARIE d’Orléans Dame de Montpipeau, widow of BOUCHARD [I] de Palluau Seigneur de Montrésor, daughter of JEAN d’Orléans Seigneur de Montpipeau et de Cléry & his wife Elisabeth Prunelé (-after 30 Nov 1280). Maussabré indicates that she was “Marie dame de Montpipeau en Orléanais, fille de Jean d’Orléans chevalier seigneur dudit Montpipeau et de Cléry près Orléans et d’Elisabeth Prunelé” and that "nous croyons que’elle se remaria avec Pierre de Broce chevalier seigneur de la Châtre-au-Vicomte, près Saint-Benoît-du-Sault, fils de...Géraud vicomte de Broce", noting that Pierre de Brosse was named “seigneur de Montrésor” in a charter dated Oct 1244 and bequeathed property to “sa femme...Marie...Guillaume de Montpipeau...Guillaume de Coffy” in his testament (whose date he does not specify)[80]. She married thirdly Geoffroy Payen Seigneur de Boussay: Maussabré says that “Marie d’Orléans contracta une troisième alliance avec Geoffroy...Pagani chevalier seigneur de Boussay en Touraine”, who was named "seigneur de Montrésor" in a charter dated Feb 1255 (O.S.?) under which he donate rights to “l’église du Liget” with the consent of “Marie dame de Montrésor sa femme”[81]. “Marie dame de Montpipeau” granted revenue to "Regnaud de Cophy" for his long service, with the consent of “ses deux fils Geoffroy de Paluau chevalier seigneur de Montrésor et Jean Payen”, by charter dated May 1277[82]. “Marie dame de Montpipeau, fille de Jean d’Orléans chevalier, messire Jehan Payen chevalier son fils et madame Mahaut femme de ce dernier” sold property “sis à Villemain et relevant de Baugency” by charter dated 30 Nov 1280[83]. The 10 Jul 1344 document cited below under Jeanne de Brosse, wife of André [II] de Chauvigny, shows that la Châtre-le-Vicomte passed to the main line of descent of the Brosse family, suggesting that Pierre died childless.
The relationship between the following family group and the main family of the vicomtes de Brosse has not been traced, although Guy de Brosse is called "cognatus" by Gérard [II] Vicomte de Brosse as shown below:
1. --- de Brosse . m --- (-after 1218). The name of this wife is not known but she is referred to in the charter dated 1218 under which "G[eraldus] vicecomes Bruciæ" freed serfs who "Guido de Brucia cognatus meus" had donated to Saint-Benoît-du-Sault with the consent of "dominæ matris suæ"[84]. One child: a) GUY de Brosse . "G[eraldus] vicecomes Bruciæ" freed serfs who "Guido de Brucia cognatus meus" had donated to Saint-Benoît-du-Sault with the consent of "dominæ matris suæ", by charter dated 1218[85].
2. GUY de Brosse (-after 1240). It is possible that Guy de Brosse is the same person as Guy de Brosse, "cognatus" of Gérard [II] Vicomte de Brosse, who is named above. "Guido de Brucia domicellus" donated his rights over "Giraudo Bone de Pardac" to Saint-Benoît-du-Sault by charter dated 30 Sep 1238[86]. "Guido de Brucia miles" relinquished rights in favour of Saint-Benoît-du-Sault by charter dated 1238[87]. "Guido de Brucia domicellus" donated a serf to Saint-Benoît-du-Sault by charter dated 1240[88].
Two brothers (parents not identified, but their descent from a brother/collateral of Guillaume de Brosse Archbishop of Sens is confirmed by the 10 Jul 1344 document cited below under Jeanne de Brosse, wife of André [II] de Chauvigny): 1. HUGUES [I] de Brosse, son of --- (-after 1256). Vicomte de Brosse. Seigneur d’Argenton. The parentage of Vicomte Hugues [I] is uncertain. Père Anselme names "Hugues vicomte de Brosse, Guillaume" as the two sons of Bernard [IV] Vicomte de Brosse, but cites no primary sources[89]. If this is correct, he was Hugues [I] de Brosse, son of Bernard [IV] Vicomte de Brosse & his wife ---. However, as noted above, Gérard [II] Vicomte de Brosse is recorded with a son named Hugues. It is possible that he was the same person as Vicomte Hugues [I] and that the affiliation as stated by Père Anselme is incorrect. If this suggestion is correct, he was Hugues [I] de Brosse, son of Gérard [II] Vicomte de Brosse & his first wife ---. This second possibility appears to be corroborated by the charter dated 4 May 1237 issued by "Hugo de Bruccia miles dominus de Sca Severa…filius nobilis viri vicecomitis de Bruccia"[90]. At that time, Vicomte Gérard [II] is named in numerous sources but no trace at all has been found in primary sources of the supposed Vicomte Bernard [IV]. Another indication that the second hypothesis may be correct is that the name Pierre, given to the younger son of Vicomte Gérard [II], was repeated among the descendants of Vicomte Hugues [I]. "Hugues I…vicomte de Brosse" confirmed donations made by his predecessors to the abbey of Prébenoît by charter dated 1254[91]. m ([1230]) GUIBURGE, daughter of [HELIE de Palestel Seigneur de Sainte-Sevére & his wife ---]. Maussabré records that "Hugues I…vicomte de Brosse" married "Hélie seigneur de Sainte-Sevère et de la Motte-de-Folli…[sa]...fille... Guiburge (ou Guibords)", dating the event to [1230], and inherited the seigneurie de Sainte-Sevère from her father, noting that Hugues “seigneur de Sainte-Sévère” relinquished justice over Saint-Pol and Tercillac in favour of “[le] seigneur de Tercillac” by charter dated 18 May 1240 and settled disputes with Colombe in 1249 with the consent of his wife[92]. Beauchet-Filleau names "Guiburge" (no family name or parentage specified) as the wife of Hugues Vicomte de Brosse, but does not cite the corresponding primary sources[93]. She is not named by Père Anselme[94]. Hugues & his wife had two children: a) HUGUES [II] de Brosse (-after 1285). Père Anselme names "Hugues II vicomte de Brosse, Roger de Brosse, seigneur de Sainte-Sevère" as children of Hugues [I] Vicomte de Brosse, but cites no primary sources[95]. Maussabré names him "Hugues II vicomte de Brosse, seigneur d’Argenton, de Dun-le-Palesteau, de Châteauclop, de la Motte-de-Folli, d’Aiguzon, d’Azerables", highlighting the third, fourth and fifth as Palestel properties inherited from his mother[96]. “Hugo vicecomes Brucie miles” and “Rogerius de Brucia miles dominus sancte Severe” agreed a division of territories, naming “Margarite filiæ naturali seu spurie domini Helie de Brucia avunculi nostri”, by charter dated Mar 1281[97].

Père Anselme names "Isabelle de Deols, dame de Château-Meliand, fille d’Ebbes de Deols, seigneur de Château-Meliand, de Boussac, d’Huriel" as the wife of Hugues [II] Vicomte de Brosse, but cites no primary source[99]. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated Apr 1256 which records an agreement between “Robin de Bomez, Mahaut sa femme, Guiotte de Bomez leur sœur” and “Hugues vicomte de Brosse, Hugues et Roger ses enfans, Isabel et Marguerite leurs femmes” to divide the inheritance of Ebbo de Déols Seigneur de Châteaumeillant, the former taking Boussac, Huriel and Vernois, the latter Châteaumeillant, la Roche, Preveranges and Bellefaye[100]. Thaumassière records that, in accordance with a provision in the Apr 1256 charter enabling Guyotte to request a new partition when she attained the age of majority, Châteaumeillant was transferred to the Bommiers family and Boussac and Huriel to Brosse[101]. [m secondly ELEONORE de Brenne, daughter of ---. Georges Vergeade records that Isabelle de Déols, first wife of Hugues [II] Vicomte de Brosse, died childless and that Vicomte Hugues married secondly "Aénor de Brenne" by whom he was father of "trois fils: Pierre, Hélie et Guillaume" but he does not cite the corresponding primary source[102].] Hugues & his [second] wife had four children: i) JEAN [Pierre] de Brosse (-after 6 Sep 1353). Secondary sources are contradictory regarding the name of the oldest son of Vicomte Hugues [II]. Père Anselme names "Jean vicomte de Brosse" as the older son of Hugues [II] Vicomte de Brosse, without citing a primary source, but details his military service in the early 1350s under Aimery de Rochechouart and Louis de Harcourt[103]. Georges Vergeade records that Isabelle de Déols, first wife of Hugues [II] Vicomte de Brosse, died childless and that Vicomte Hugues married secondly "Aénor de Brenne" by whom he was father of "trois fils: Pierre, Hélie et Guillaume" but he does not cite the corresponding primary source[104]. m ---. The name of Jean’s wife is not known. Jean & his wife had one child: (a) JEANNE de Brosse (-after 24 Oct 1348). Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage, her transmission of the vicomté de Brosse to her husband, and her testament dated 24 Oct 1348 (no source citation)[105]. “Guy de Chenaco chr, tant en son nom que comme tuteur des enfants de feu Guy de Chanac deau son fils” claimed rights in “les mas de Mazottin, de Crevant et du Gond, vendus au damoiseau...par Guillaume Chabot chr. Ces fiefs meuvent de la châtellenie de la Châtre-le-Vicomte, appartenant à André, qui l’a recueillie, à raison de sa femme, dans le patrimoine de feu Guillaume de Brosse, archevêque de Sens” from “André de Chauvigny chr sire de Châteauroux et de la Châtre-le-Vicomte [=”la Châtre-s.-l’Anglin, cant. de S.

Père Anselme names "N--- dame de Fleet" as the wife of Hélie de Brosse, but cites no primary source[110]. Either this refers to the daughter of Bouchard de Palluau or to another earlier or later, otherwise unrecorded, wife of Hélie. “Geoffroy de Paluau sire de Montrésor” confirmed a donation to the church of Saint-Sauveur de Villeloin made by “Josbert Poulain...son homme de foi lige” and, considering that he had not yet shared territories with “son frère, à sa sœur et à M. Hélie de Broce époux de celle-ci”, guaranteed the church against any claims made by them, by charter dated Feb 1323 (O.S.?)[111]. Hélie & his wife had one child: (a) daughter .

Seigneur de Bommiers. “Sybille dame de Condé...veuve domini Robert seigneur de Bomiers et mère d’autre Robert aussi seigneur dudit lieu” donated property “aux religieuses de Glatigny” by her undated testament[152]. “Robert de Bomiers chevalier seigneur de Bomiers, de Condé” ratified the donation made to Fontmorigny by his mother in Mar 1247 by charter dated 4 Jul 1248[153]. Seigneur d’Uriel: “Robertus de Bomez miles dominus de Uriaco” granted the right to hold a market “in villa Capella Aude” to Chapelle-Aude, with the consent of “Agnetis uxoris mee et...Maltidys sororis sue, et Roberti filii mei”, by charter dated [2/7] May 1252[154]. “Robert de Bomez, chev. sr de Vry” donated property to Saint-Denis, with the consent of “Agnès sa femme, de Mathilde sa sœur, et de Robert de Bomez son fils”, by charter dated 1252[155].

Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by Richemond who records that “Thibaut IV [de Blaison]...légua les seigneuries de Blaison et de Mirebeau à son neveu Robert II de Bommiers”[157]. It is also indicated by the charter dated 1264 under which [her son] Robert [IV] de Bommiers “chevalier, seigneur de Mirebeau, de Blazon et de Montfaucon” ratified the donation to “Jean Raoul valet” made by “Valence de Mirebeau dame de Fontaines son aïeule”[158]. Ménage records the “mémoire de la Chambre des contes de Paris” dated 1260 which relates the settlement of the dispute between “Charles fils lou Roy de France Comte d’Anjou...” and “Robert de Bomets” relating to “la seigneurie de Mirabel, par la mort de Thibaud de Blazon, oncle dudit Robert”[159]. m secondly AGNES de Déols, daughter of EBBO de Déols Seigneur de Châteaumeillant & his wife --- (-[Feb 1253/Apr 1256]). “Robertus de Bomez miles dominus de Uriaco” granted the right to hold a market “in villa Capella Aude” to Chapelle-Aude, with the consent of “Agnetis uxoris mee et...Maltidys sororis sue, et Roberti filii mei”, by charter dated [2/7] May 1252[160]. “Robert de Bomez, chev. sr de Vry” donated property to Saint-Denis, with the consent of “Agnès sa femme, de Mathilde sa sœur, et de Robert de Bomez son fils”, by charter dated 1252[161].

According to La Thaumassière, Agnes was the oldest daughter of Eble de Déols Seigneur de Château-Meillant, and therefore sister of the first wife of Robert [IV] de Bommiers, but he cites no primary source on which this information is based[163]. This family origin is corroborated by the charter dated Apr 1256 which records an agreement between “Robin de Bomez, Mahaut sa femme, Guiotte de Bomez leur sœur” and “Hugues vicomte de Brosse, Hugues et Roger ses enfans, Isabel et Marguerite leurs femmes” to divide the inheritance of Ebbo de Déols Seigneur de Château-Meillant, the former taking Boussac, Huriel and Vernois, the latter Château-Meillant, la Roche, Preveranges and Bellefaye[164]. Agnes’s absence from this document indicates that she was already deceased at the time. Robert [III] & his first wife had one child: i) ROBERT [IV] de Bommiers (-[May 1270/Oct 1272]). “Robertus de Bomez miles dominus de Uriaco” granted the right to hold a market “in villa Capella Aude” to Chapelle-Aude, with the consent of “Agnetis uxoris mee et...Maltidys sororis sue, et Roberti filii mei”, by charter dated [2/7] May 1252[165].

Thaumassière records that, in accordance with a provision in the Apr 1256 charter enabling Guyotte to request a new partition when she attained the age of majority, Châteaumeillant was transferred to the Bommiers family and Boussac and Huriel to Brosse[167]. Guyotte must have died soon afterwards without leaving heirs as Châteaumeillant was later recorded with the descendants of her half-brother. b) MATHILDE de Bommiers (-after 1252). “Robert de Bomez, chev. sr de Vry” donated property to Saint-Denis, with the consent of “Agnès sa femme, de Mathilde sa sœur, et de Robert de Bomez son fils”, by charter dated 1252[168].

Her father’s name is confirmed by an order of the Parlement de Paris dated 20 Mar 1323 relating to a dispute between “comitem Rouciacy” and “Guillelmum Crispini militem dominum d’Estrepigny” concerning the inheritance of “defuncti Theobaldi de Bomes militis, quondam patris dictarum uxorum”, which names “defuncte Yolandis quondam sororis dictarum sororum”[199]. c) MATHILDE de Bommiers (-after 1330).

The reference to Mathilde being “filiole” of the testator is unusual if she was her sister. It could indicate that Mathilde was considerably younger than Raoul [III], although they must have been born from the same mother as Raoul’s mother witnessed the testament (unless she had been repudiated by her husband who had remarried subsequently). Another possibility is that Mathilde was in fact the niece or first cousin of Ralph. Dame d'Issoudun. She was murdered by her husband[226].

The family of Beatrix is not known. However, she was presumably related to the Issoudun family in order to explain how her children were co-heirs to Issoudun in 1217. Renoul [I] & his wife had four children: i) HELIE de Culant (-[May 1217/Jul 1221]). La Thaumassière records that “Renoul I Sire de Culant” donated pasturage rights “en ses bois de Corser” to the abbey des Pierres, with the consent of “Beatrix sa femme...et de ses enfants Helie, Guillaume et Renaud”, by charter dated 1187 (no source citation)[265].

HELIE de Culant, son of RENOUL [I] Seigneur de Culant & his wife Beatrix --- (-[May 1217/Jul 1221]). La Thaumassière records that “Renoul I Sire de Culant” donated pasturage rights “en ses bois de Corser” to the abbey des Pierres, with the consent of “Beatrix sa femme...et de ses enfants Helie, Guillaume et Renaud”, by charter dated 1187 (no source citation)[274]. Seigneur de Culant. La Thaumassière records that, after the death in 1217 of Mathilde d’Issoudun childless, Issoudun was inherited by “Etienne de saint Palais et...Helie, Claude et Guillaume, enfans de Renoul Sire de Culant et de Beatrix sa femme, ses plus prochains heritiers” who exchanged Issoudun with Philippe II King of France[275]. Philippe II King of France confirmed the division into parts of “feodum de Virsone et sicut dominus de Virsone illud tenebat et tenere debebat a domino Exolduni” made by “Heliæ de Culent et Stephano de S. Palacio”, confirming that they held “Vestan sicut dominus Exolduni illud tenebat a comite Blesis”, two thirds of which the king transferred to them in exchange for “feodum de Charrotio sicut dominus de Charrotio illud tenebat a domino Exolduni et feodum de Lineriis sicut domini de Lineriis illud tenuerunt a domino Exolduni et illud quod Robertus de Bosmez tenuit de dominis Exolduni”, by charter dated May 1217[276]. La Thaumassière records that Hélie died soon afterwards and that “ses enfans tombèrenet sous la tutelle de Raoul de Culant Prieur de Vastan leur oncle [see above]”, who “quitta au Roy Philippe Auguste de tout le droit...que ses mineurs avoient en la châtellenie d’Yssoudun...”, referring to the Jul 1221 charter cited above[277]. m ---. The name of Hélie’s wife is not known. Hélie & his wife had [four or more] children: 1. RENOUL [II] de Culant ([1205/15] [maybe [1210/15?]]-after Jun 1252, maybe after Jul 1270). The Jul 1221 charter cited above indicates that Renoul [II] was a minor when his father died, so presumably born [1205/15]. Assuming that Renoul was not named in sources earlier than Nov 1241 (see below), he may have been born in the later part of this date range. Seigneur de Culant. La Thaumassière records charters dated Nov 1241, 1242, Jul 1248, and Apr 1250 which name Renoul [II] (no source citations)[278]. “Radulphus dominus de Culent” donated “altaris de novo constructi in domo nostra de Crista” to Chapelle-Aude by charter dated 1245[279]. La Thaumassière records that “Renoul II Baron de Culant” donated revenue to the chapter of Bourges, for the soul of his wife Marguerite, by charter dated Jun 1252 (no source citation)[280]. According to La Thaumassière, the following references record “Renoul III Baron de Culant”, supposed son of Renoul [II], who married “Sedile ou Sebile” and by whom he was father of “Renoul [IV] Baron de Culant” (named with his father in the Oct 1258 charter cited below)[281]. However, assuming that Renoul [II]’s birth date is correctly estimated above, it appears chronologically impossible for “Renoul [IV]” to have been Renoul [II]’s grandson and the son of Sédile. It appears more likely that Sédile was Renoul [II]’s second wife and that his son Renoul [III] (the same as La Thaumassière’s Renoul [IV]) was his son by his first wife Marguerite. “Renulphus de Culento et Petrus de Sancto Paladio...domini de Castro-novo super scarum post decessum nobilis Margaritæ quondam uxoris domini Exoldunensis” enfranchised “villam de Castro-novo” by charter dated Oct 1258, signed by “dictus Renulphus dominus de Culento et Renulphus filius meus domicellus et Sedilia uxor mea et...dictus Petrus de Sancto Paladio miles et Renaudus frater meus miles”[282]. La Thaumassière records charters dated 1259 (granting freedoms to the inhabitants of Châteauneuf), 1260, 1262, 1264, Nov 1265, Apr 1270, and Jul 1270 in which Renoul [III] was named (no source citations)[283]. m [firstly] MARGUERITE Dame de Mirebeau, daughter of --- (-before Jun 1252). La Thaumassière records that “Renoul I Sire de Culant” donated revenue to the chapter of Bourges, for the soul of his wife “Marguerite Dame de Mirebeau”, by charter dated Jun 1252 (no source citation)[284]. [m secondly (before Oct 1258]) SEDILIE, daughter of ---. “Renulphus de Culento et Petrus de Sancto Paladio...domini de Castro-novo super scarum post decessum nobilis Margaritæ quondam uxoris domini Exoldunensis” enfranchised “villam de Castro-novo” by charter dated Oct 1258, signed by “dictus Renulphus dominus de Culento et Renulphus filius meus domicellus et Sedilia uxor mea et...dictus Petrus de Sancto Paladio miles et Renaudus frater meus miles”[285].] Renoul [II] & his [first] wife had two children: a) RENOUL [III] de Culant ([1235/45?] maybe [1240/45?]-before Aug 1290). His birth date range is estimated on the assumption that he was the son of Renoul [II] by his first wife, bearing in mind Renoul [II]’s likely birth date shown above. His mention as “domicellus” in Oct 1258 suggests that he may have been born in the later part of that range. “Renulphus de Culento et Petrus de Sancto Paladio...domini de Castro-novo super scarum post decessum nobilis Margaritæ quondam uxoris domini Exoldunensis” enfranchised “villam de Castro-novo” by charter dated Oct 1258, signed by “dictus Renulphus dominus de Culento et Renulphus filius meus domicellus et Sedilia uxor mea et...dictus Petrus de Sancto Paladio miles et Renaudus frater meus miles”[286]. Seigneur de Culant. Renoul [III] is assumed to have succeeded his father, maybe after Jul 1270 (unless one or more of the later charters cited above under his father in fact refer to Renoul [III]). “Rennoux Sire de Culant chevallier” granted customs to “ma ville de Veydun et la parroche de Vesdun”, with the consent of “uxore mea Margarita et filio meo Radulpho et Humbaldo...fratre meo, atque Odone de Boneio”, by charter dated Nov 1275[287]. Renoul [III] is assumed to have died before late-Aug 1290, when his supposed son and successor Renoul [IV] is named “damoiseau” (see below). m [firstly] ([1260/70?]) MARGUERITE, daughter of ---. “Rennoux Sire de Culant chevallier” granted customs to “ma ville de Veydun et la parroche de Vesdun”, with the consent of “uxore mea Margarita et filio meo Radulpho et Humbaldo...fratre meo, atque Odone de Boneio”, by charter dated Nov 1275[288]. [La Thaumassière says that “Renoul II Sire de Culant” (husband of Marguerite Dame de Mirebeau, see above) married, as his second wife, Catherine de Condé, daughter of Nicolas de Condé Seigneur de Bailleul & his wife Catherine de Cayeux Dame de Carency en Artois[289]. If Catherine did marry into the Culant family, the chronology dictates that she would have been the wife of Renoul [III], given her [second] marriage (before 1297) to Jacques de Châtillon Seigneur de Leuze. However, Jean Bunot cogently argues that “rien ne supporte l’existence de cette Catherine” as Renoul’s [second] wife, that La Thaumassière was in error, and that, in any case, if Renoul [III] did marry a “Catherine de Condé”, she would more likely have belonged to “la famille de Condé en Berry” than the Condé family in Hainaut[290].] Renoul [III] & his wife had [three] children: i) RAOUL de Culant (-after Nov 1275). “Rennoux Sire de Culant chevallier” granted customs to “ma ville de Veydun et la parroche de Vesdun”, with the consent of “uxore mea Margarita et filio meo Radulpho et Humbaldo...fratre meo, atque Odone de Boneio”, by charter dated Nov 1275[291]. ii) RENOUL [IV] de Culant ([1265/70?]-after 1323). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified. However, his being named “damoiseau” in the late-Aug 1290 charter cited below suggests that he belonged to a later generation than Renoul [III] (who was named “damoiseau” in Oct 1258, as noted above). Seigneur de Culant. - see below. iii) [MATHILDE de Culant (-after 1301). La Thaumassière records “Mahaut de Culant mariée à Renaud de Bazerne S. de Champeroux” as daughter of the person whom he names “Renoul [III] Baron de Culant”, noting that “étant veuve” she sold “les terres de Gazeaux et de Puyroger” to “Henry de Seuly” [Henri [IV] Seigneur de Sully] by charter dated 1301 (no source citation)[292]. The chronology appears consistent with Mathilde being the daughter of Renoul [III]. m RENAUD de Bazernes Seigneur de Champeroux, son of --- (-before 1301).] b) HUMBAUD de Culant (-after Nov 1275). “Rennoux Sire de Culant chevallier” granted customs to “ma ville de Veydun et la parroche de Vesdun”, with the consent of “uxore mea Margarita et filio meo Radulpho et Humbaldo...fratre meo, atque Odone de Boneio”, by charter dated Nov 1275[293]. 2. [one or more] other children . The Jul 1221 charter cited above refers to Hélie having more than one minor heir. 3. [GUILLAUME de Culant (-before 1264). La Thaumassière records “Guillaume de Culant” as son of Renoul [I] Seigneur de Culant, and that he married “Agnes de Tocy fille puînée d’Anseric de Tocy seigneur de Bazerne et Pierre-Pertuise et de Guillerme de Montfaucon”, as well as Agnes’s second marriage[294]. The reference to Renoul [I] Seigneur de Culant appears impossible chronologically. It seems more likely that Guillaume was the son of Hélie. m as her first husband, AGNES de Toucy, daughter of ANSERIC [II] de Toucy Seigneur de Bazarne & his wife Guillerme de Montfaucon. La Thaumassière records that “Guillaume de Culant”, son of Renaud Seigneur de Culant, married “Agnes de Tocy fille puînée d’Anseric de Tocy seigneur de Bazerne et Pierre-Pertuise et de Guillerme de Montfaucon”, as well as her second marriage[295]. She married secondly (before Dec 1264) as his second wife, Guillaume [I] de Courtenay Seigneur de Champignelles. “Guido de Thociaco dominus Bacernæ et Regnaudus frater meus dominus Campi-Pretiosi milites” and “domino Guillelmo de Curtiniaco et...Agnete eius uxore domina de Charenton sorore nostra” divided the succession of Agnes de Bazarne by charter dated Dec 1264[296].] 4. [SEDILIE de Culant (-before 1258). The primary source which confirms the parentage and marriage of the wife of Eudes de Sully-Beaujeu has not been identified. If she was a member of the Culant family, the chronology suggests that she would have been the daughter of Hélie Seigneur de Culant. m EUDES de Sully Seigneur de Beaujeu, son of EUDES [I] de Sully Seigneur de Beaujeu [en Berry] & his wife Eléonore de Monfaucon (-before 1258).]
RENOUL [IV] de Culant, son of RENOUL [III] Seigneur de Culant & his [first] wife Marguerite --- ([1265/70?]-after 1323). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified. However, his being named “damoiseau” in the late-Aug 1290 charter cited below suggests that he belonged to a later generation than Renoul [III] (who was named “damoiseau” in Oct 1258, as noted above). Seigneur de Culant. Letters dated [Feb] 1304 record the arrest of “dominus de Culento” at the request of the prior of Chapelle-Aude[297]. A charter dated 18 Dec 1306 records the settlement of disputes between Chapelle-Aude and “dominum Ranulphum dominum de Culento militem”[298]. La Thaumassière records charters dated late-Aug 1290 (as “damoiseau”), 28 Feb 1295, mid-Oct 1296, 13 Apr 1300, 24 May 1319, early-Jul 1320, [29] Sep 1320, late-Jun 1322, early-Dec 1322, and 1323 in which he was named (no source citations)[299]. m AGNES, daughter of --- (-before 9 Feb [1309/10?]). Her marriage is confirmed by the 9 Feb [1309/10?] marriage contract of her daughter Agnès, cited below, which also confirms that the bride’s mother was deceased at the time. Renoul [IV] & his wife had children: 1. JEAN [I] de Culant (-before 1342). Seigneur de Culant et de Châteauneuf. Seigneur de Jaloignes. m (contract 1309) JEANNE de Bouville Dame de Romefort et de Savigny, daughter of HUGUES [II] Seigneur de Bouville & his wife ---.

Père Anselme records that “Marguerite de Joinville dame de Méry“ swore to the king that she had inherited one third of Lachy after the death of her father Amé by charter dated 1378 (presumably misdated as her father is named in the charter dated 30 Apr 1379 quoted above)[300]. Her first marriage is confirmed by the record of “Eudes chevalier Seigneur de Culans” holding “la terre située au parc de Lachy” from the king in 1379[301]. She married secondly ([9 Sep/12 Dec] 1383, divorced before 17 May 1394) as his second wife, Hugues [II] d'Amboise Seigneur de Chaumont-sur-Loire et de Saint-Verain. Her family origin and two marriages are confirmed by a charter dated 9 Sep 1383 recording an agreement between "Hugues d’Amboise s. de Chaumont et de S. Vrain chevalier, chambellan du roi et Marguerite de Joinville sa femme veuve d’Eudes s. de Culan...ayant la garde d’Annor dame de Culant fille de Marguerite et d’Eudes" and “Guichard de Culan chevaler” concerning the inheritance of “feu Gilbert dernier seigneur de Culan, frère de ladite Annor”[302]. "Marguerite de Joinville comtesse de Vaudémont" transferred rights “à Arnancourt” to “sa cousine Marguerite de Joinville dame de Chaumont-sur-Loire” by charter dated 2 Jul 1416[303]. The dating of this document indicates that Marguerite must have been divorced from her second husband, who is recorded in 1394 with another wife Isabelle who was co-heiress of Jean de Joinville Seigneur de Doulevant (see below). No record has been found of the death of Marguerite. Eudes & his first wife had children: (1) GILBERT de Culant (-[1381/82]). Seigneur de Culant. "Hugues d’Amboise s. de Chaumont et de S.

The fact that her mother is described as “feue”, in contrast to her father who was presumably living at the time, indicates that Agnès was the daughter of Renoul [IV]. “Rochefoucauld (dame Agnès de Cullent femme de Guy de la)” ratified the donation made by “son dit mary et Aimery son fils chevalier” to “Louis de Confolent damoiseau neveu dudit Guy” by charter dated early-Jun 1339[309]. m (contract 9 Feb [1309/10?]) GUY [VII] Seigneur de la Rochefoucauld, son of AIMERY [II] Seigneur de la Rochefoucauld & his wife Dauphine de la Tour (-1344 or after).

The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified. Raoul [VI] & his wife had eight children: 1. RAOUL (-1136 or after). La Thaumassière names “Raoul de Deols mort sans alliance, Eudes de Deols” as the two oldest sons of Raoul de Déols, but does not cite the primary source on which this information is based[366].

EBBO [II] (-1160). A manuscript entitled "Progenies Dolensium Principum" names "Ebbo secundus, Gaufredus de Prulée, Karolus, Guillermus Abbas Dauratensis, Radulphus et Gaufridus dominus de Mellano" as sons of "Radulphi Senioris"[368]. A manuscript entitled "Généalogie de la noble et très-puissante lignée de Chauvigny" records that "Raoulx l'Ancien yeyt Ebbes le second"[369]. Seigneur de Déols et de Châteauroux.

The Chronicon Dolensis records the death in 1160 of "Ebbo secundus, IX dominus Dolensis"[370]. m DENISE d'Amboise, daughter of SULPICE [II] Seigneur d'Amboise & his wife Agnes de Donzy (-10 or 20 May before 1160, bur Bourg-Dieu). The Gesta Ambaziensium names "duos filios…Hugonem et Herveum et duas filias Dionisiam…et Elizabeth" as the children of Sulpice [II] & his wife, specifying that Denise married "Eboni Dolis" by whom she was mother of "Radulfum et Odonem"[371]. Ebbo [II] & his wife had two children: a) RAOUL [VII] (-Ravenna 27 Nov 1176, bur Ravenna). A manuscript entitled "Progenies Dolensium Principum" names "Radulphus de Dolis" as son of "Ebbonis secundi"[372]. The Gesta Ambaziensium names "duos filios…Hugonem et Herveum et duas filias Dionisiam…et Elizabeth" as the children of Sulpice [II] & his wife, specifying that Denise married "Eboni Dolis" by whom she was mother of "Radulfum et Odonem"[373]. Seigneur de Déols et de Châteauroux. Seigneur de Levroux, de la Châtre, d'Argenton (part), de Saint-Chartier, de Cluis-Dessous, du Châtelet et de Meillent. A manuscript entitled "Généalogie de la noble et très-puissante lignée de Chauvigny" records that "Raoulx de Deoulx" died "en une Cité de Romanie…Ravenne" while returning from a pilgrimage to Jerusalem[374]. [m firstly --- de Sully, daughter of EUDES [Archambaud] Seigneur de Sully & his wife Mathilde de Baugency. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to the unnamed sister of "Henricus frater Odo …[et] Egidii de Solleiro" as wife of "Radulfo filio Ebonis de oppido de Dolii" by whom she had "matrem Guilelmi de Cavingni qui per eam factus est domnus de castro Radulfi"[375]. The second part of this statement is disproved by the charter dated Apr 1216 quoted below which confirms that Raoul [VII]’s known wife Agnes de Charenton was the mother of his daughter Denise. It is not known whether this means that the first part of Alberic’s statement is incorrect as well. If it is correct, this person would have been Raoul’s first wife. No charter has yet been identified which names her as Raoul’s wife.] m [secondly] (before [1172/73]) as her first husband, AGNES de Charenton Dame de Meillent, daughter of EBLES [V] Seigneur de Charenton & his wife ---. The primary source which confirms her parentage and first marriage has not yet been identified. A manuscript entitled "Généalogie de la noble et très-puissante lignée de Chauvigny" names "Madame Aldevis, sœur du Roi Henri d'Angleterre" as wife of "Raoulx le Chauve" and mother of Denise[376], but the reference to the English king (Henry II?) in this text is inexplicable. She married secondly (before 1182) Raoul de Linières Seigneur de Cluis-Dessous. The primary source which confirms her second marriage has not been identified. Raoul [VII] & his [second] wife had one child: i) DENISE ([1172/73]-1221, bur Déols). A manuscript entitled "Progenies Dolensium Principum" names "Dionysia uxor Andreæ domini de Calveniaco" as the daughter of "Radulphi de Dolis"[377]. The Complete Peerage says that Denise was the daughter of Raoul [VII] by his second wife[378]. This is consistent with the manuscript entitled "Généalogie de la noble et très-puissante lignée de Chauvigny" quoted above, but contradicts the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois Fontaines which records the unnamed sister of "Henricus frater Odo …[et] Egidii de Solleiro" as the mother of "matrem Guilelmi de Cavingni qui per eam factus est domnus de castro Radulfi"[379]. If it is correct, as stated in the Complete Peerage, that Denise was three years old in 1176[380], the chronology appears tight for her father to have married again after Denise was born and before he died in 1176. If that is correct, it is more probable that Denise was born from her father’s second marriage. This suggestion is confirmed by a charter dated Apr 1216 under which [her son by her second husband] “Guillermus de Calvigniaco dominus Castri Radulphi” recorded that “Domina Agnes avia mea maritata fuit domino Radulpho avo meo cum castello et castellania de Mellant” which “dominus Ebo de Carentonio pater eiusdem domina” gave her “in maritagio”[381]. The primary source which confirms Denise’s first marriage has not been identified. The manuscript entitled "Généalogie de la noble et très-puissante lignée de Chauvigny" records the marriage of "Madame Denise de Deoulx" and "Seigneur André de Chauvigny, nepveu du Comte de Flandre"[382], although his connection with the family of the count of Flanders has not been traced. “Dionisia Dolensis domina filia Radulphi Dolensis domini” confirmed the freedoms granted to “Castelleto et de Castellania” by “Ebbo avus meus et Radulphus pater meus”, with the consent of “Guillelmo filio meo”, by charter dated 16 Jun 1203[383]. The primary source which confirms her third marriage has not been identified.

Seigneur de Mellano.
EUDES de Déols, son of EBBO [II] Seigneur de Deols & his wife Denise d'Amboise (-[1208]). The Gesta Ambaziensium names "duos filios…Hugonem et Herveum et duas filias Dionisiam…et Elizabeth" as the children of Sulpice [II] & his wife, specifying that Denise married "Eboni Dolis" by whom she was mother of "Radulfum et Odonem"[391]. Seigneur de Châteaumeillant et de Boussac. m firstly (after Jul 1169) as her second husband, ALIX de Bourgogne, widow of ARCHAMBAUD "le Jeune" de Bourbon, daughter of EUDES II Duke of Burgundy [Capet] & his wife ([1146]-Fontevraud 1192, bur Abbaye de Fontevraud). The primary source which confirms her parentage and two marriages has not yet been identified. Nun at Fontevraud, abbess in [1190] after her mother. m secondly AGNES, daughter of --- (-after 1220). The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified. “Ebo de Dolis dominus Castri-Mellani” enfranchised “virorum terræ meæ...in villa Castri-Mellani usque ad cruces circa castrum...et etiam Extranei...” by charter dated 1220, signed by “ego et mater mea et Odo frater meus”[392]. The presence in this document of the donor’s mother suggests that she was heiress of Châteaumeillant. Eudes & his second wife had two children: 1. EBBO de Déols (-before Apr 1256). Seigneur de Châteaumeillant. “Ebo de Dolis dominus Castri-Mellani” enfranchised “virorum terræ meæ...in villa Castri-Mellani usque ad cruces circa castrum...et etiam Extranei...” by charter dated 1220, signed by “ego et mater mea et Odo frater meus”[393]. m ---. The name of Ebbo’s wife is not known. Ebbo & his wife had four children: a) AGNES de Déols (-[Feb 1253/Apr 1256]). “Robertus de Bomez miles dominus de Uriaco” granted the right to hold a market “in villa Capella Aude” to Chapelle-Aude, with the consent of “Agnetis uxoris mee et...Maltidys sororis sue, et Roberti filii mei”, by charter dated [2/7] May 1252[394]. The testament of Robert seigneur “de Bomeriis et de Montfaucon”, dated Feb 1253 (presumably O.S.), mentioned “la dot de sa femme Agnès”[395]. According to La Thaumassière, Agnes was the oldest daughter of Eble de Déols Seigneur de Châteaumeillant, and therefore sister of the first wife of Robert [IV] de Bommiers, but he cites no primary source on which this information is based[396]. This family origin is corroborated by the charter dated Apr 1256 which records an agreement between “Robin de Bomez, Mahaut sa femme, Guiotte de Bomez leur sœur” and “Hugues vicomte de Brosse, Hugues et Roger ses enfans, Isabel et Marguerite leurs femmes” to divide the inheritance of Ebbo de Déols Seigneur de Châteaumeillant, the former taking Boussac, Huriel and Vernois, the latter Château-Meillant, la Roche, Preveranges and Bellefaye[397].

The absence of any reference to Mathilde being the wife of the donor’s son suggests that her marriage had not yet taken place. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated Apr 1256 which records an agreement between “Robin de Bomez, Mahaut sa femme, Guiotte de Bomez leur sœur” and “Hugues vicomte de Brosse, Hugues et Roger ses enfans, Isabel et Marguerite leurs femmes” to divide the inheritance of Ebbo de Déols Seigneur de Châteaumeillant, the former taking Boussac, Huriel and Vernois, the latter Châteaumeillant, la Roche, Preveranges and Bellefaye[399].

F. SEIGNEURS d'ISSOUDUN
Issoudun is located north-east of Châteauroux in the present-day French département of Indre on the borders with the département of Cher. It is on the border between the counties of Poitou and Bourges (see the document CENTRAL FRANCE NOBILITY), in the southern part of the Berry region. It is difficult to categorise the seigneuries d’Issoudun satisfactorily for the purposes of Medieval Lands and has been placed arbitrarily in the present document. No primary source has yet been found which identifies clearly the suzerain of the sires d’Issoudun. The reconstruction shown below relies largely on information in La Thaumassière’s Histoire de Berry which does contain errors and fails to cite source references for a proportion of his data, although its inclusion of detailed references to numerous (uncited) donations (which have not otherwise been found) does inspire a certain degree of confidence in his narrative[407]. The reconstruction should therefore be viewed with some caution except where primary source references are shown.
From La Thaumassière’s Histoire, it appears that many of the primary sources naming the Issoudun family are in the cartulary of the abbey of Notre-Dame d’Issoudun. According to the entry in the cartulR database on the Telma website, this cartulary remains unpublished[408].
1. EMENON d’Issoudun (-after May 984). Seigneur d’Issoudun. “Emeno et Fulcho filius meus” granted customs to “omnium hominum in burgo sancti Martini extra menia castri positum”, with the consent of “Adhenauris uxoris meæ...domini Hiterii sanctæ Mariæ Auxelioduni monasterii abbatis”, by charter dated May 984, signed by “Hemenonis senioris...Falconis filii eius, Bernardi filii eius...”[409]. m ADHENAVRE, daughter of --- (-after May 984). “Emeno et Fulcho filius meus” granted customs to “omnium hominum in burgo sancti Martini extra menia castri positum”, with the consent of “Adhenauris uxoris meæ...domini Hiterii sanctæ Mariæ Auxelioduni monasterii abbatis”, by charter dated May 984, signed by “Hemenonis senioris...Falconis filii eius, Bernardi filii eius...”[410]. Emenon & his wife had two children: a) FOULQUES d’Issoudun (-after May 984). “Emeno et Fulcho filius meus” granted customs to “omnium hominum in burgo sancti Martini extra menia castri positum”, with the consent of “Adhenauris uxoris meæ...domini Hiterii sanctæ Mariæ Auxelioduni monasterii abbatis”, by charter dated May 984, signed by “Hemenonis senioris...Falconis filii eius, Bernardi filii eius...”[411]. b) BERNARD d’Issoudun (-after May 984). “Emeno et Fulcho filius meus” granted customs to “omnium hominum in burgo sancti Martini extra menia castri positum”, with the consent of “Adhenauris uxoris meæ...domini Hiterii sanctæ Mariæ Auxelioduni monasterii abbatis”, by charter dated May 984, signed by “Hemenonis senioris...Falconis filii eius, Bernardi filii eius...”[412].
1. EVRARD [d’Issoudun] (-after 1017). Seigenur d’Issoudun. He is called “Ebrard seigneur d’Issoudun” in the summary of the charter dated to [1100] which is quoted below, although the document itself does not include any geographical epithet. La Thaumassière names “Ebrard du Four Prince d’Yssoudun, Seigneur de Vatan, de Romorantin et de Celles”, stating that he lived during the reign of Robert II King of France (988-1031), that he reestablished the priory of Dèvre, donated property to “l’abbaye de Vernusse” by charter which names his wife “Sibille”, and under his testament bequeathed “à sa femme les terres de Romorantin et de Celles, à Eudes son fils aîné Yssoudun, à Foulques Vatan et le terrage de Moüeres...ordonna qu’Ebrard son troisième seroit chanoine de saint Laurian et de saint Cyre, et Robert son cadet, chanoine de saint Eusice”[413]. If La Thaumassière is correct, the charter dated to [1100] must be incorrectly dated. Two sources have been identified which suggests that this is likely to be correct: "Evrardus" reestablished the priory of Dèvre by charter dated to [1017], witnessed by "Humbaldus Virsionis dominus et Gaufridus de Firmitate"[414]. "Evrardo Vestinensi vocabulo de Misera" restored its possessions to the priory of Dèvre by charter dated 1017, subscribed by "Euvrardus...atque filiis suis, Rotberti elemosinarii eius, Euvrardi alii, Roberti clerici, Adelardi, Guidonis, Goscelini, Hataline uxoris eius..."[415]. m SIBYLLE, daughter of ---. La Thaumassière records that “Ebrard du Four Prince d’Yssoudun, Seigneur de Vatan, de Romorantin et de Celles” donated property to “l’abbaye de Vernusse” by charter which names his wife “Sibille”[416]. Evrard & his wife had four children: a) EUDES [de Vatan] (-after 1017). La Thaumassière records that “Ebrard du Four Prince d’Yssoudun, Seigneur de Vatan, de Romorantin et de Celles”, in his testament, bequeathed “à sa femme les terres de Romorantin et de Celles, à Eudes son fils aîné Yssoudun, à Foulques Vatan et le terrage de Moüeres...ordonna qu’Ebrard son troisième seroit chanoine de saint Laurian et de saint Cyre, et Robert son cadet, chanoine de saint Eusice”[417]. Seigneur d’Issoudun. “Robertus et Odo, Ebrardi filii” donated “terram Sancti Hylarii de Jarundela” to Saint-Laurian de Vatan by charter dated to [1100] (likely misdated as discussed above), witnessed by “Rodulfi Dolensis, Adela comitissa”, recording also the confirmation by “Odo Vastinnensis” of the donation made by him and “frater suus Rotbertus”, subscribed by “Odonis, uxoris Milesendis...”[418]. m MELISENDE, daughter of ---. “Robertus et Odo, Ebrardi filii” donated “terram Sancti Hylarii de Jarundela” to Saint-Laurian de Vatan by charter dated to [1100] (likely misdated as discussed above), witnessed by “Rodulfi Dolensis, Adela comitissa”, recording also the confirmation by “Odo Vastinnensis” of the donation made by him and “frater suus Rotbertus”, subscribed by “Odonis, uxoris Milesendis...”[419]. b) FOULQUES . La Thaumassière records that “Ebrard du Four Prince d’Yssoudun, Seigneur de Vatan, de Romorantin et de Celles”, in his testament, bequeathed “à sa femme les terres de Romorantin et de Celles, à Eudes son fils aîné Yssoudun, à Foulques Vatan et le terrage de Moüeres...ordonna qu’Ebrard son troisième seroit chanoine de saint Laurian et de saint Cyre, et Robert son cadet, chanoine de saint Eusice”[420]. c) EVRARD . La Thaumassière records that “Ebrard du Four Prince d’Yssoudun, Seigneur de Vatan, de Romorantin et de Celles”, in his testament, bequeathed “à sa femme les terres de Romorantin et de Celles, à Eudes son fils aîné Yssoudun, à Foulques Vatan et le terrage de Moüeres...ordonna qu’Ebrard son troisième seroit chanoine de saint Laurian et de saint Cyre, et Robert son cadet, chanoine de saint Eusice”[421]. d) ROBERT (-after 1017). La Thaumassière records that “Ebrard du Four Prince d’Yssoudun, Seigneur de Vatan, de Romorantin et de Celles”, in his testament, bequeathed “à sa femme les terres de Romorantin et de Celles, à Eudes son fils aîné Yssoudun, à Foulques Vatan et le terrage de Moüeres...ordonna qu’Ebrard son troisième seroit chanoine de saint Laurian et de saint Cyre, et Robert son cadet, chanoine de saint Eusice”[422]. “Robertus et Odo, Ebrardi filii” donated “terram Sancti Hylarii de Jarundela” to Saint-Laurian de Vatan by charter dated to [1100] (likely misdated as discussed above), witnessed by “Rodulfi Dolensis, Adela comitissa”, recording also the confirmation by “Odo Vastinnensis” of the donation made by him and “frater suus Rotbertus”, subscribed by “Odonis, uxoris Milesendis...”[423].
G. SEIGNEURS d'ISSOUDUN (DEOLS)
No indication has been found about how the seigneurie d’Issoudun was transmitted to the Déols family. From a chronological point of view, it is possible that a daughter of Eudes Seigneur d’Issoudun (see above) married the paternal grandfather of Eudes de Déols Seigneur d’Issoudun who is shown below.
After the death in 1217 of Mathilde d’Issoudun without children, Issoudun was inherited by “Etienne de saint Palais et...Helie, Claude et Guillaume, enfans de Renoul Sire de Culant et de Beatrix sa femme, ses plus prochains heritiers”[424]. These heirs exchanged Issoudun with Philippe II King of France as confirmed by three charters dated between 1217 and 1221. Firstly, by charter dated May 1217 King Philippe II confirmed the division into parts of “feodum de Virsone et sicut dominus de Virsone illud tenebat et tenere debebat a domino Exolduni” made by “Heliæ de Culent et Stephano de S. Palacio”, confirming that they held “Vestan sicut dominus Exolduni illud tenebat a comite Blesis”, two thirds of which the king transferred to them in exchange for “feodum de Charrotio sicut dominus de Charrotio illud tenebat a domino Exolduni et feodum de Lineriis sicut domini de Lineriis illud tenuerunt a domino Exolduni et illud quod Robertus de Bosmez tenuit de dominis Exolduni”[425]. King Philippe II granted property "à Vatan" to "Etienne de Saint-Palais" in exchange for “la portion d’Issoudun qui [lui] revenait” by charter dated [29 Mar/Aug] 1220[426]. “Radulphus de Culent prior Vastinensis avunculus et tutor hæredum de Culent” granted “juris habebamus in castro Exolduni” to Philippe II King of France, in exchange for “tertiam partem Castri-novi super Carum fluvium et tertiam partem Marolii super Arvon fluvium, sicut Radulphus quondam dominus Exolduni ea tenuit...post decessum quondam uxoris defuncti Radulfi domini Exolduni quæ fuit filia Petri comitis Nivernensis eiusdem regis consanguinei”, by charter dated Jul 1221[427]. The precise relationship between the Issoudun family and Etienne de Saint-Palais and the Culant family has not been ascertained.

The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Remundus" as father of "Mathildis comitisse Nivernensis"[456]. She succeeded her father as Ctss de Grignon, Dame de Vitteaux, and her mother as Dame de Montpensier. She succeeded her second husband in 1175 as Ctss de Tonnerre. Her first and third marriages are confirmed by Robert of Torigny who records the marriage in 1177 of "Petrus frater Philippi comitis Flandrensium" and "comitissa Nivernensis quæ fuerat uxor domini Isoldunensis castri"[457]. "Matilidis comitissa" confirmed a previous donation to Cîteaux by "Agnes mater mea comitissa" for the soul of "patris mei Raimundi" with the consent of "filii mei Odo et Guillermus et Agnes et Ida" by charter dated 1179[458]. "Mathildis comitissa Nivernensis" donated property to Jully-les-Nonnains for the soul of "Guillelmi filii mei" and for the anniversaries of "…comitis Guidonis, comitis Petri, domini Odonis de Yxolduno" (her first three husbands) by charter dated 1182[459].

Eudes [III] & his wife had [two] children: a) RAOUL [III] (-1 Mar 1213). Seigneur d'Issoudun. Seigneur de Vatan et de Châteauneuf. A charter dated May 1218 records an agreement between “Stephanus Beate Marie Exoldunensis…abbas" and "dominos de Exolduno" concerning donations made by "Gaufridus, Odo, Radulphus quondam domini de Exolduno"[467]. The testament of “Radulfus dominus Exolduni”, dated Jul 1212, bequeathes property to “Mathildi filiole mee ad eam maritandam”, witnessed by “Margarita uxor mea, Alix mater mea...”[468]. m ([1210]) as her first husband, MARGUERITE de Courtenay, daughter of PIERRE Comte d'Auxerre et de Tonnerre, Seigneur de Courtenay [later Emperor of Constantinople] & his second wife Yolande de Flandre Marquise de Namur ([1194/98]-Marienthal convent 17 Jul, 1258 or before, bur Marienthal). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "secundam filiarum eius [Namucensis comitis Petri] Sibiliam" as the wife firstly of "Radulfus de Essolduno in Bituria" and secondly of "comes Heinricus de Vienne et Ardenna". Her birth date is estimated assuming that she was one of her parents’ older children and married aged 12 or soon afterwards. "Radulphus dominus Exolduni" sold land at Germigny to Eudes Duke of Burgundy, with the consent of "Margarita uxore mea", by charter dated 1210[469]. She married secondly (1216) Heinrich [I] Graf von Vianden. The date of her death is indicated by the charter dated Oct 1258 under which “Renulphus de Culento et Petrus de Sancto Paladio...domini de Castro-novo super scarum post decessum nobilis Margaritæ quondam uxoris domini Exoldunensis” enfranchised “villam de Castro-novo”[470]. b) [MATHILDE (-murdered 24 Nov 1217). The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified. The testament of “Radulfus dominus Exolduni”, dated Jul 1212, bequeathes property to “Mathildi filiole mee ad eam maritandam”, witnessed by “Margarita uxor mea, Alix mater mea...”[471]. The reference to Mathilde being “filiole” of the testator is unusual if she was her sister. It could indicate that Mathilde was considerably younger than Raoul [III], although they must have been born from the same mother as Raoul’s mother witnessed the testament (unless she had been repudiated by her husband who had remarried subsequently). Another possibility is that Mathilde was in fact the niece or first cousin of Ralph. Dame d'Issoudun. She was murdered by her husband[472]. La Thaumassière records that, as Mathilde died childless, Issoudun was inherited by “Etienne de saint Palais et...Helie, Claude et Guillaume, enfans de Renoul Sire de Culant et de Beatrix sa femme, ses plus prochains heritiers” who exchanged Issoudun with Philippe II King of France[473]. m ([1213]) GUILLAUME [I] de Chauvigny Seigneur de Châteauroux, son of ANDRE [I] de Chauvigny Seigneur de Chauvigny & his wife Denise de Déols (-[Jan/Mar] 1234).]
Two [sisters or first cousins]. They were closely related to the Issoudun family as their sons were heirs to Issoudun in 1217: La Thaumassière records that, after the death in 1217 of Mathilde d’Issoudun childless, Issoudun was inherited by “Etienne de saint Palais et...Helie, Claude et Guillaume, enfans de Renoul Sire de Culant et de Beatrix sa femme, ses plus prochains heritiers” who exchanged Issoudun with Philippe II King of France[474]. The precise relationship has not been traced. 1. --- . m --- Seigneur de Saint-Palais, son of ---. 2. [BEATRIX (-after 1187). La Thaumassière records that “Renoul I Sire de Culant” donated property to Noirlac abbey, with the consent of “Beatrix sa femme”, by charter dated 1181, but does not cite the source reference[475]. The family of Beatrix is not known. However, she was presumably related to the Issoudun family in order to explain how her children were co-heirs to Issoudun in 1217. Beatrix is shown in square brackets in this part because it is possible that the connection with the Issoudun family was through the mother, not the wife, of Renoul [I]. La Thaumassière records that “Renoul I Sire de Culant” donated pasturage rights “en ses bois de Corser” to the abbey des Pierres, with the consent of “Beatrix sa femme...et de ses enfants Helie, Guillaume et Renaud”, by charter dated 1187, but does not cite the source reference[476]. m RENOUL [I] Seigneur de Culant, son of GUILLAUME Seigneur de Culant & his wife --- (-after 1188).]
H. SEIGNEURS de MORTEMER
The town now known as Morthemer is situated in the canton of Chauvigny, arrondissement Montmorillon, in the present-day French département of Vienne, due east of Poitiers. The relationship, if any, between the Mortemer family of Poitou and the Mortimer family of Normandy and England (see ENGLAND, EARLS) has not yet been traced. No connection has been found between this family and “--- de Mortemart”, possible wife of Aimery [IX] Vicomte de Rochechouart, whose marriage is dated to [1205] and about whom little definite information has been found (as discussed in LIMOUSIN). “Mortemart” is probably the village which lies about 30 kilometres north-west of Limoges.

[Four] siblings. An indication of the identity of their family origin is provided by the charter quoted below which names “Guido Marchie” as “avunculus” of Raoul de Mortemer. The name “Guido Marchie [genitive singular]”, without “de” in contrast to the description of Raoul in the same document, suggests that Guy was named “La Marche” to indicate his place of residence rather than any territorial suzerainty. If “avunculus” was used in its strict sense of maternal uncle, the document provides an indication of Raoul’s maternal family (assuming that the document in question does relate to Raoul de Mortemer named below). 1. RAOUL de Mortemer (-after 1211). [An undated charter records the donation of property "apud Karroffum" to Charroux made by "Guido Marchie" on his deathbed, the subsequent dispute between the abbey and “Radulphum de Mortemar nepotem ipsius” and the settlement on the advice of “Audeberti comitis” [Audebert [IV] Comte de la Marche, until 1178], which involved donations made by “idem Radulphus” for the soul of “avunculi sui Guidonis supradictum”[516]. If this charter is dated to [1170/78], it would be possible from a chronological point of view that it relates to the same Raoul de Mortemer who is named in the other sources quoted below.] During an enquiry into the rights of the vicomte de Châtellerault to "castro Sancti Remigii", one witness testified that "Jocelinus de Montoere" held "Castri-Aeraudi…castrum…ratione vicecomitisse castri Aeraudi uxoris sue", and that "dominus Radulfus de Mortemer" succeeded him "pro tutela filiorum et filiarum dicti Jocelini qui erant sui nepotes" [children of his sister, see below][517].

During an enquiry into the rights of the vicomte de Châtellerault to "castro Sancti Remigii", one witness testified that "Jocelinus de Montoere" held "Castri-Aeraudi…castrum…ratione vicecomitisse castri Aeraudi uxoris sue", and that "dominus Radulfus de Mortemer" succeeded him "pro tutela filiorum et filiarum dicti Jocelini qui erant sui nepotes"[523]. m firstly GUILLAUME Vicomte de Châtellerault, son of HUGUES [II] Vicomte de Châtellerault & his first wife Aenor --- (-Acre [1188]). m secondly JOSCELIN de Lezay dit de Montoiron, son of ---.

It should be borne in mind that the terms “oncle” and “neveu” in the 1205 and 1233 charters quoted above could be used in an extended sense and should not therefore be interpreted too precisely in order to ascertain the family relationship of Mathilde with the comtes de Vendôme. Geoffroy [I] & his wife had [seven] children: a) BOUCHARD [I] de Palluau (-[Jul 1239/1241]). Geoffroy de Palluau donated two-thirds of Fretay to Saint-Sauveur de Villeloin, with the consent of "Mathilde sa femme et de Bouchard leur fils", and the other third to Notre-Dame d’Aiguevive, with the consent of “l’archevêque de Tours l’oncle de sa femme”, by charter dated 1205[536].

PIERRE de Palluau (-[Oct 1265/1276]). The references to this person as “oncle” of Geoffroy [II] de Palluau suggest that he was the same person as the canon of Tours who, if that is correct, resigned his ecclesisastical appointments. “Pierre de Palluau chevalier” is named in the 1252 document which names his sister Eléonore. Geoffroy [II] de Palluau “conjointement avec Pierre de Paluau son oncle” granted revenue to “sa...sœur...Aënor...religieuse à la Virginité” by charter dated Dec 1254[543].

He presumably died before 1276 when his children are recorded as holding property (see below). m ---. The name of Pierre’s wife is not known. Pierre & his wife had children: i) children (-after 1276). A charter dated 1276 records that Geoffroy [II] de Palluau “conjointement avec les enfants de Pierre de Paluau son oncle” held “des fiefs dans les châtellenies de Paluau et de Chastillon-sur-Indre”[545].

She married thirdly Geoffroy Payen Seigneur de Boussay: Maussabré says that “Marie d’Orléans contracta une troisième alliance avec Geoffroy...Pagani chevalier seigneur de Boussay en Touraine”, who was named "seigneur de Montrésor" in a charter dated Feb 1255 (O.S.?) under which he donate rights to “l’église du Liget” with the consent of “Marie dame de Montrésor sa femme”[557]. “Marie dame de Montpipeau” granted revenue to "Regnaud de Cophy" for his long service, with the consent of “ses deux fils Geoffroy de Paluau chevalier seigneur de Montrésor et Jean Payen”, by charter dated May 1277[558]. “Marie dame de Montpipeau, fille de Jean d’Orléans chevalier, messire Jehan Payen chevalier son fils et madame Mahaut femme de ce dernier” sold property “sis à Villemain et relevant de Buagency” by charter dated 30 Nov 1280[559]. Bouchard [I] & his wife had three children: 1. GEOFFROY [II] de Palluau (-[1297/98], bur Villeloin). Seigneur de Montrésor. He was recorded in 1246 under the guardianship of his paternal uncle Pierre (see above). He acted in his own name in 1252 as shown by the following document. Geoffroy [II] de Palluau confirmed a donation of revenue “sur la taille de Montrésor” made by “Aënor sœur de Pierre de Paluau chevalier” to "[les] frères chartreux du Liget" by charter dated 1252[560]. Geoffroy [II] de Palluau “conjointement avec Pierre de Paluau son oncle” granted revenue to “sa...sœur...Aënor...religieuse à la Virginité” by charter dated Dec 1254[561]. A charter dated 1276 records that Geoffroy [II] de Palluau “conjointement avec les enfants de Pierre de Paluau son oncle” held “des fiefs dans les châtellenies de Paluau et de Chastillon-sur-Indre”[562]. “Marie dame de Montpipeau” granted revenue to "Regnaud de Cophy" for his long service, with the consent of “ses deux fils Geoffroy de Paluau chevalier seigneur de Montrésor et Jean Payen”, by charter dated May 1277[563]. Geoffroy de Palluau donated revenue to l’abbaye de la Virginité, Vendôme, in consideration for his two sisters having been received as nuns there, by charter dated 1297[564]. His son’s charter dated 1298, quoted below, suggests that he had succeeded his father by that date. His place of burial is confirmed by the 1310 testament of his son Bouchard, quoted below. m ---. The name of Geoffroy’s wife is not known. Geoffroy & his wife had [three or more] children: a) GEOFFROY [III] de Palluau (-before 1310). Seigneur de Montrésor. Geoffroy de Palluau Seigneur de Montrésor submitted a dispute with Villeloin to the judgment of “Regnault de Précigny chevalier” by charter dated 1298, while a charter dated 1299 relating to the same dispute property noted that Geoffroy’s father was still alive in 1276[565]. He is named as deceased in the 1310 testament of his brother Bouchard. b) BOUCHARD [II] de Palluau (-1312). Seigneur de Montrésor et de Luçay-le-Mal. The testament of “Bouchard de Paluau damoiseau seigneur de Montrésor et de Luçay-le-Mal”, dated 1310, chose burial “dans l’église de de Villeloin...derrière le tombeau de feu noble homme Geoffroy de Paluau son père”, and bequeathed property for the souls of himself and “celles de ses parents et de ses frères” and for the anniversary of “feu Geoffroy son frère”, a vidimus noting that the testator died in 1312[566]. c) son(s) . His/their existence is confirmed by the 1310 testament of his/their brother Bouchard, quoted above. 2. ELEONORE de Palluau . Nun at Vendôme la Virginité. Geoffroy [II] de Palluau “conjointement avec Pierre de Paluau son oncle” granted revenue to “sa...sœur...Aënor...religieuse à la Virginité” by charter dated Dec 1254[567]. Geoffroy de Palluau donated revenue to l’abbaye de la Virginité, Vendôme, in consideration for his two sisters having been received as nuns there, by charter dated 1297[568]. 3. daughter . Nun at Vendôme la Viginité. Geoffroy de Palluau donated revenue to l’abbaye de la Virginité, Vendôme, in consideration for his two sisters having been received as nuns there, by charter dated 1297[569].
Three siblings. The primary source which confirms their parentage has not been identified. The Compte rendu of the research of the Société de Berry in Paris notes Bouchard [II] de Palluau as their father but cites no source which confirms this information[570]. Given the uncertainty regarding the reconstruction of this family, especially the possibility that the younger sons of Geoffroy [I] and the unnamed sons of Geoffroy [II] left descendants, and in light of the late homage for Montrésor given by Geoffroy [IV], it is prudent to await the emergence of primary source documentation before accepting this speculative parentage. As noted below, the charter dated Oct 1319 suggests that Geoffroy [IV] de Palluau may have been considerably younger than his sister, indicating that they may have been born from different wives of their unidentified father.
1. --- de Palluau (-after Feb [1323/24]). Her parentage and marriage is confirmed by the following document of her husband: “Hélie de Brosse, au nom de Geoffroy de Paluau son beau-frère” swore homage to the king for “la châtellenie et haute justice de Montrésor” by charter dated Oct 1319[571]. Père Anselme names "N--- dame de Fleet" as the wife of Hélie de Brosse, but cites no primary source[572]. Either this refers to the daughter of Bouchard de Palluau or to another earlier or later, otherwise unrecorded, wife of Hélie. “Geoffroy de Paluau sire de Montrésor” confirmed a donation to the church of Saint-Sauveur de Villeloin made by “Josbert Poulain...son homme de foi lige” and, considering that he had not yet shared territories with “son frère, à sa sœur et à M. Hélie de Broce époux de celle-ci”, guaranteed the church against any claims made by them, by charter dated Feb 1323 (O.S.?)[573]. m HELIE de Brosse Seigneur de Château-Clos, son of HUGUES [II] Vicomte de Brosse & his [second] wife Eléonore de Brenne (-[1326/28]). 2. GEOFFROY [IV] de Palluau (-[1350]). Seigneur de Montrésor. “Hélie de Brosse, au nom de Geoffroy de Paluau son beau-frère” swore homage to the king for “la châtellenie et haute justice de Montrésor” by charter dated Oct 1319[574]. The lapse of seven years between the death of Bouchard de Palluau and this homage suggests the existence of another, otherwise unrecorded, intermediate seigneur de Montrésor and adds to the doubt concerning the parentage of Geoffroy. The swearing by Hélie de Brosse, on behalf of his brother-in-law, suggests that Geoffroy may not yet have attained the age of majority. If that is correct, Geoffroy would have been considerably younger than Hélie de Brosse: maybe was born from a different marriage of their father than Hélie’s wife. Geoffroy is named as deceased in the 1351 charter of his son Pierre, quoted below. m ---. The name of Geoffroy’s wife is not known. Geoffroy [IV] & his wife had [three] children: a) PIERRE de Palluau (-[Oct 1371/1373]). [“Pierre de Paluau damoiseau seigneur de Luçay-le-Mau” was recorded as “homme lige du seigneur de Villentrois” for land “près du moulin du Mesnil” in 1348[575]. Maussabré assumes that this was the same person as Pierre de Palluau Seigneur de Montrésor who died [Oct 1371/1373][576]. Another possibility is that he was the successor of Jean de Palluau Seigneur de Luçay-le-Mal (see below) and that he died soon after 1348 without direct heirs, when his seigneurie reverted to the senior line of the Palluau family.] Pierre de Palluau “seigneur de Montrésor et [du] Luçay” confirmed that “son...père Geoffroy de Paluau chevalier” had bequeathed property to Villeloin abbey for his anniversary, by charter dated [late Sep/early Oct] 1351[577]. Seigneur de Montrésor. “Messire Pierre de Paluau seigneur de Montrésor chevalier bachelier” was named among the supporters of “le maréchal de Sancerre” who campaigned to recover Limoges in 1370[578]. Pierre de Palluau donated revenue at Montrésor to Villeloin for annual masses, one of the date of death of “Jean de Paluau son fils aîné”, by charter dated late Sep 1371[579]. m as her first husband, ISOLDE de Sainte-Maure, daughter of [PIERRE [II] de Sainte-Maure Seigneur de Montgaugier & his wife ---]. “Iseult de Sainte-Maure jadis veuve de messire Pierre de Paluau chevalier seigneur de Montrésor, et depuis remariée à Jean de la Jaille chevalier” purchased a chapel jointly with “Geoffroy de Paluau chevalier seigneur de la Motte sous-Paluau” by charter dated 1377[580]. She married secondly ([1372/73]) Jean de la Jaille. Pierre & his wife had [two or more] children: i) JEAN de Palluau (-before Sep 1371). Pierre de Palluau donated revenue at Montrésor to Villeloin for annual masses, one of the date of death of “Jean de Paluau son fils aîné”, by charter dated late Sep 1371[581]. ii) son(s) . Their existence is suggested by their brother Jean being called “fils aîné” of his father in the Sep 1371 charter quoted above. The transmission of Montrésor and Luçay-le-Mal to the children of Pierre’s possible sisters, as noted below, suggests that all Pierre’s own children died without direct heirs. b) [--- de Palluau . The likely explanation for Jean [III] de Bueil being recorded as Seigneur de Montrésor is that the seigneurie was inherited from his mother’s family. If that is correct, the chronology suggests that this person was the sister of Pierre de Palluau who died before 1373, and was therefore probably the daughter of Geoffroy de Palluau. This family origin and marriage are shown by Busserolle, who does not cite any primary source[582]. m JEAN de Bueil Seigneur de Bueil, son of --- (-1366 or after).] c) [daughter . “Jean de Châteauneuf seigneur de Luçay-le-Mal...neveu de Pierre de Paluau” is named in a charter dated 1373[583]. Maussabré suggests that his mother was the sister of Pierre de Palluau Seigneur de Montrésor who died [Oct 1371/1373]. m --- de Châteauneuf, son of ---.] 3. --- de Palluau (-after Feb [1323/24]). His existence is confirmed by the following document in which he is not named: “Geoffroy de Paluau sire de Montrésor” confirmed a donation to the church of Saint-Sauveur de Villeloin made by “Josbert Poulain...son homme de foi lige” and, considering that he had not yet shared territories with “son frère, à sa sœur et à M. Hélie de Broce époux de celle-ci”, guaranteed the church against any claims made by them, by charter dated Feb 1323 (O.S.?)[584].
The documents quoted below reveal the existence of junior branches of the Palluel family who held the seigneuries of la Motte-sous-Palluau, Luçay-le-Mal, and Oygnois. Maussabré assumes that Jean de Palluau Seigneur de la Motte-sous-Palluau was the unnamed younger brother of Geoffroy [IV] de Palluau[585]. However, these junior branches could also be descended from Pierre de Palluel (died [Oct 1265/1276]) or the unnamed younger brothers of Geoffroy [III] de Palluel.
1. JEAN de Palluau (-after 1345). Seigneur de Luçay-le-Mal. “Jean de Paluau damoiseau seigneur de Luçay” was named in a charter dated 1345[586].
2. [PIERRE de Palluau (-after 1348). Seigneur de Luçay-le-Mal. “Pierre de Paluau damoiseau seigneur de Luçay-le-Mau” was recorded as “homme lige du seigneur de Villentrois” for land “près du moulin du Mesnil” in 1348[587]. Maussabré assumes that this was the same person as Pierre de Palluau Seigneur de Montrésor who died [Oct 1371/1373][588]. Another possibility is that he was the successor of Jean de Palluau Seigneur de Luçay-le-Mal named above and that he died soon after 1348 without direct heirs, when his seigneurie reverted to the senior line of the Palluau family.]
1. --- de Palluau . m --- de Sainte-Maure, daughter of PIERRE [I] de Sainte-Maure & his wife Mathilde --- . Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the testament of [her brother] “Guillelmus de S. Maura decanus Turonensis”, dated 17 Jan 1334 (O.S.?), which bequeathed property to [her daughter] “...a sa nièce Isabelle de Palluau” and named as executors [her son] “...Pierre de Palluau son neveu”[589]. Père Anselme states that she was “Iseul ou Isabeau de Sainte Maure, dame de Bellefontaine” who married firstly “Pierre de Paluau seigneur de Montresor et de Luçay” and secondly “Pierre de la Jaille avec lequel elle vivoit en 1373 et 1375”[590]. This suggestion is improbable from a chronological point of view: her son was presumably adult when named executor of his maternal uncle’s testament, placing his birth to [1310] at the latest and indicating that the person named in 1373 was unlikely to be his mother. One of the documents on which Anselme relied was presumably the following: “Iseult de Sainte-Maure jadis veuve de messire Pierre de Paluau chevalier seigneur de Montrésor, et depuis remariée à Jean de la Jaille chevalier” purchased a chapel jointly with “Geoffroy de Paluau chevalier seigneur de la Motte sous-Paluau” by charter dated 1377[591]. This charter indicates the existence of two branches of the Palluau family. It is likely that the daughter of Pierre [I] de Sainte-Maure married a member of the la Motte-sous-Palluau branch, the wife of Pierre de Palluau Seigneur de Montrésor belonging to a later Sainte-Maure generation as suggested below. Two children: a) PIERRE de Palluau . The testament of “Guillelmus de S. Maura decanus Turonensis”, dated 17 Jan 1334 (O.S.?), named as executors “...Pierre de Palluau son neveu”[592]. b) ISABELLE de Palluau . The testament of “Guillelmus de S. Maura decanus Turonensis”, dated 17 Jan 1334 (O.S.?), requested burial in the church of Tours, bequeathed property to “...a sa nièce Isabelle de Palluau”[593].
2. JEAN de Palluau (-after 1337). Seigneur de la Motte-sous-Palluau. “Jean de Preaulx” swore homage to “Jean de Paluau...sire de la Motte” in 1334 and 1337[594].
Four brothers, parents not identified: 1. GEOFFROY de Palluau (-after 1377). Seigneur de la Motte-sous-Palluau. “Geoffroy de Paluau chevalier seigneur de la Motte-sous-Paluau” donated property to Villebernin church for the anniversaries of “feu Bouchard de Paluau et d’Isabeau de Sainte-Maur, de feu monseigneur de Pezé [de Prye?] et de madame de Mezé; de feus Jean, Fouquet et Guyon de Paluau frères du donateur...” by charter dated 1370[595]. “Iseult de Sainte-Maure jadis veuve de messire Pierre de Paluau chevalier seigneur de Montrésor, et depuis remariée à Jean de la Jaille chevalier” purchased a chapel jointly with “Geoffroy de Paluau chevalier seigneur de la Motte sous-Paluau” by charter dated 1377[596]. m JEANNE de Prie, daughter of PHILIPPE de Prie Seigneur de Moulins [near Levroux en Berry] & his wife Isabelle de Sainte-Maure Dame de Belle Fontaine. Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage, noting that the couple donated “Belle-Fontaine” to “Guillaume Sepres chanoine de Sainte Radégonde” by undated charter[597]. 2. JEAN de Palluau (-before 1370). “Geoffroy de Paluau chevalier seigneur de la Motte-sous-Paluau” donated property to Villebernin church for the anniversaries of “...feus Jean, Fouquet et Guyon de Paluau frères du donateur...” by charter dated 1370[598]. 3. FOUQUET de Palluau (-before 1370). “Geoffroy de Paluau chevalier seigneur de la Motte-sous-Paluau” donated property to Villebernin church for the anniversaries of “...feus Jean, Fouquet et Guyon de Paluau frères du donateur...” by charter dated 1370[599]. 4. GUYON de Palluau (-before 1370). “Geoffroy de Paluau chevalier seigneur de la Motte-sous-Paluau” donated property to Villebernin church for the anniversaries of “...feus Jean, Fouquet et Guyon de Paluau frères du donateur...” by charter dated 1370[600].
1. JEAN de Palluau (-after 1351). Seigneur d’Oygnies. “Jean de Paluau sire d’Oygnois” held “la grange de Beaumortier” as vassal “du seigneur de Villentrois” in 1348[601]. “Jean de Paluau damoiseau seigneur d’Oygnois” sold property to the monks of Barzelle by charter dated 1351[602].
2. GUILLAUME de Palluau (-after 1387). Seigneur d’Oygnies. “Guillaume de Paluau écuyer seigneur d’Oygnes” acknowledged holding property from the prior of Ecueillé by charter dated 1387[603].
3. ISABELLE de Palluau (-before 1436). Dame d’Oygnies. Maussabré records that “Raoulin de Harconde” was guardian of his daughter Marie, whose mother was “Isabeau de Paluau dame d’Oignols”, in 1436[604]. m RAOUL de Harconde, son of --- (-after 1436). Raoul & his wife had one child: a) MARIE de Harconde . Maussabré records that Marie, daughter of “Raoulin de Harconde”, married “Bertrand de Preaulx écuyer seigneur de Préaulx et d’Hervaux”, who inherited Oygnies from his wife, in 1445[605]. m (1445) BERTRAND de Préaux Seigneur de Préaux et d’Hervaux, son of ---.
