Chapter 1. COMTES de VENDÔME
A. COMTES de VENDÔME (ORIGINS)
1. BOUCHARD [I] (-after Mar 849). "Archambaldi, Burchardi…" subscribed the charter dated Mar 849 under which "Odo comes et uxor mea Guandilmodis" donated property "in pago Dunensi…et in pago Blesensi" to Marmoutier, the editor of the compilation suggesting that "Burchardi" may have been the ancestor of the later Comtes de Vendôme[1].
2. BOUCHARD [II] (-905 or after). "…Burchardi comitis" subscribed the charter dated Nov 902 under which "Warnegaudi vicecomitis et uxoris eius Helenæ" donated property[2].
3. BOUCHARD [III] "Ratepilate" (-[950/60]). Comte de Vendôme.
4. BOUCHARD [IV] "le Vieux/le Vénérable" de Vendôme (-Saint-Maur-des-Fossés 9 Jan 1007, bur Saint-Maur-des-Fossés). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Comte de Vendôme. Comte de Corbeil, de iure uxoris. Vicomte de Paris. "Burchardus comes" consented to the donation by "fidelis meus…Arduinus" by charter dated 1 Sep 976, subscribed by "Burcardi comitis Vindocinensis, Rainaldi filii"[3]. "Gaufridus atque Burchardus comites" confirmed the donation by "collibertam nostram Ermengardam" at the request of "fidelis nostri Fulchardi vicecomitis" by charter dated 19 Jul 985, subscribed by "Gaufredi comitis, Fulconis filii eius"[4]. [A presumably spurious charter dated May 989 records that "Buchardus comes Parisiensis, Milduni et Corbolii et senescallus Franciæ" granted "castra Vindocini, Lavarzini et Montis-Aurei", held by "Fulco quondam pater meus", to "Fulconi comiti Andecavorum, nepoti meo et Adellæ uxori suæ qui fuit filia Aimonis quondam comitis et Isabellis uxoris meæ"[5]. This document misrepresents the genealogy of the family which is confirmed in other primary sources, and ignores the fact that Bouchard´s son Bishop Renaud inherited Vendôme before it passed to the family of the comtes d´Anjou.] "…Burchardi comitis…" subscribed the charter dated 997 under which Robert II King of France donated property to "congregationem SS Bartolomæi atque Maglorii" in Paris[6]. "Buchardus comes et eius filius Parisiensis episcopus Rainaldus" confirmed a donation of revenue to Marmoutier by "vassallus…Dodo" by charter dated 998[7]. "Robertus…Francorum Rex" confirmed donations to "monasterii Fossatensi" by "Parisiacensis ecclesiæ episcopus…Renoldus et pater eius…comes Burchardus" for the soul of "Elisabeth comitissæ" by charter dated 998[8]. [Guillaume of Jumièges records that “quidam eius miles...Walterius” captured his castle from “Burchardus Milidunensis castri comes”, who was living “apud regis Francorum curiam”, and handed it secretly to “Odoni comiti”, and that the castle was recaptured on his behalf by the king with the help of Richard II Duke of Normandy[9]. It is probable that this passage relates to Bouchard Comte de Vendôme, in his capacity as comte de Corbeil, as later comtes de Corbeil were recorded as holders of Melun.] "Burchardus…castri comes Curbolii…cum filio meo Rainaldo…Parisensium episcopo" authorised donations to the abbey of Saint-Maur-des-Fossés by charter dated 1 Mar 1006, subscribed by "Roberti vicecomitis, Nanterii et Joscelini eius filiorum…Joscelini Miliduni vicecomites"[10].

Bouchard [IV] & his wife had two children: a) RENAUD de Vendôme (-6 Jan 1016).

A charter dated to [1007/50] records that "Rainaldus episcopus Parisiensis, filius Burchardi Vetuli" cleared the forest of Gâtines and built Ville-l´Evêque, that after his death Foulques "Nerra" Comte d´Anjou granted Ville-l´Evêque to "Hamelino patre Walterii", that "Burchardus…cum matre sua Adela" confirmed all the previous concessions, that after his death his mother associated "Fulconem filium suum" in the county but later sold it to "fratrem suum Goffredum…Andecavorum comitem"[17]. b) ELISABETH de Vendôme (after 958-burnt to death Angers Dec 999). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by a charter dated to [1032] which records that Foulques "Nerra" Comte d´Anjou transmitted "honor Vindocinensis" to his only daughter by "sororem defuncti pontificis" [referring to Renaud de Vendôme Bishop of Paris][18]. The Chronico Monasterii Sancti Albini Andegavensis records a fire in "urbis Andegavæ" a few days after the burning of "comitissæ Helisabeth" (“quæ evenit paucis diebus post combustionem Comitissæ Helisabeth”)[19]. The passage does not explain the linking of the two events. The source which dates Elisabeth’s death to Dec 999 has not been identified. Heiress of Vendôme. m (before 990) as his first wife, FOULQUES III Comte d'Anjou, son of GEOFFROY I "Grisgonelle" Comte d'Anjou & his first wife Adela de Donzy (-Metz 21 Jun 1040, bur Beaulieu, abbaye de Saint-Pierre).

The Gesta Consulum Andegavorum names "Gosfridum Martellum et filiam Adelam" as the children of "Fulco Nerra"[21]. The primary source which confirms her marriage precisely has not so far been identified, although the Historia Nivernensium Comitum records that the wife of "Bodonem [filium Landrici]" was "stirpis Andegavorum"[22]. She succeeded her maternal uncle in [1016/20] as Ctss de ½ Vendôme.

C. COMTES de VENDÔME (SEIGNEURS de PREUILLY)

A charter dated 2 Aug 1090 records that "Vindocini consulem Goffredium Pruillacensem", a prisoner of "Lancelino de Balgenciaco", expressed his intention of donating "Savignei ecclesia" to La Trinité de Vendôme and that "uxor…comitissa Euphronia" implemented his wishes[61]. Saint-Venant comments that “il est permis de croire que les moines pour reconnaître ce don généreux l´aidèrent à payer sa rançon”[62]. “Gaufridus cognomento Jordanis, in castri possessione...Pruliacum...a patre meo...Gaufrido filius et heres” donated property to Preuilly by charter dated to 1 Aug [1097], witnessed by “Almodii matris sue, Beatrix sororis eius...”[63]. William of Tyre records the presence at the second capture of Tortosa in 1102 of "Gaufridus Vindocinensium"[64]. m EUPHROSINE Ctss de Vendôme, daughter of FOULQUES "l'Oison" Comte de Vendôme & his wife Pétronille de Château-Renard (-after 1110). A charter dated 2 Aug 1090 records that "Vindocini consulem Goffredium Pruillacensem", a prisoner of "Lancelino de Balgenciaco", expressed his intention of donating "Savignei ecclesia" to La Trinité de Vendôme and that "uxor…comitissa Euphronia" implemented his wishes[65]. "Gaufredus comes Vindocinensis [et] uxor sua Eufrosina et filius eorum Gaufredus Grassa Cotella" consented to the donation by "miles Girardus" by charter dated 1092[66]. A charter dated to after 1103 records that "uxore sua comitissa Eufrosina" retook "ecclesiam de Savigniaco", donated by "Goffridus de Prulliaco comes Vindocinensis", from La Trinité de Vendôme after her husband died but returned it after she was excommunicated[67]. Comte Geoffroy [I] & his wife had two children: 1. GEOFFROY [II] "Grisegonelle" de Vendôme (-[Saint-Gilles-en-Languedoc] [19 May] 1145). "Gaufredus comes Vindocinensis [et] uxor sua Eufrosina et filius eorum Gaufredus Grassa Cotella" consented to the donation by "miles Girardus" by charter dated 1092[68]. He succeeded his father in 1103 as Comte de Vendôme. "Gauffridus Vindocinensis comes" restored the mills of "Ponte et…Friquembaldi" to "Petrus filius Hamelini hæres [Amelini de Monte-Aureo]" at the request of the abbé of La Trinité de Vendôme by charter dated 1121[69]. "Goffridus comes Vindocinensis dictus Grisagonella" confirmed the possessions of La Trinité de Vendôme, for the soul of "uxoris mee Mahildis" and with the consent of "duo filii mei Johannis et Goffredus", by charter dated to [1102/29][70]. "Goffridus comes Vindocinensis cognomento Grizagonella" confirmed the right of passage in the forest of Gâtines by charter dated 6 Nov 1134, witnessed by "…Goffirdus de Lavarzino filius eius, Heremias, Wlgrimus frater Bartholomei…"[71]. "Goffridus Grisagonella comes Vindocini et Johannes filius eius" donated part of the forest of Gâtineau to the abbey of La Trinité de Vendôme by charter dated 1139, which states that Geoffroy had recently returned from Jerusalem, later consented to by "Lancelinus filius Johannis comitis Vindocini, Mathildis filia eiusdem Johannis, item alia filia Mathildis" and witnessed by "domnus Lancelinus de Baugenciaco…Goffridus de Chaorciis…"[72]. The necrology of Vendôme La Trinité records the death "XIV Kal Jun" of "Goffridus comes"[73]. m (1105) as her second husband, MATHILDE de Châteaudun, widow of ROBERT Vicomte de Blois, daughter of HUGUES Vicomte de Châteaudun & his wife Agnès de Fréteval (-25 Sep [after 1139]). Her origin is confirmed by the charter dated 1119 under which "Gaufridus de Castroduno" (her brother) donated property to the abbey of Sainte-Trinité de Tiron with the consent of "uxore mea [unnamed] Hugone filio meo et duabus filiabus meis Aupazia et Helvissa atque nepote meo Gofredo filio comitis Vindocinensis"[74]. "Gaufredus comes Vindocinensis qui cognominatus et Grisa Gonella…uxor eius Mathildis…comitissa necnon Eschirater eiusdem comitis" donated property by charter dated 1107[75]. "…Mithildis comitissa Vindocinensis filia eiusdem Hugonis…" consented to the donation by "Hugo vicecomes Castriduni" by charter dated [1110/11][76]. "Mahildis Vindocinensis comitissa" recognised the rights of La Trinité de Vendôme over the forest of Gastines, at the request of "Goffridum maritum suum", by charter dated 1119[77]. "Goffridus comes Vindocinensis dictus Grisagonella" confirmed the possessions of La Trinité de Vendôme, for the soul of "uxoris mee Mahildis" and with the consent of "duo filii mei Johannis et Goffredus", by charter dated to [1102/29][78]. A list of anniversaries of Vendôme La Trinité records the death "IX Kal Oct" of "Mathildis comitissa Vindocinensis"[79]. Saint-Venant suggests that Mathilde died before 1139, the date of a charter under which “Goffridus Grisagonella comes Vindocini et Johannes filius meus” donated part of the forest of Gâtineau to Marmoutier “pro salute anime matris sue et anime uxoris sue”[80]. However, the repetition of the word “anime” in in the document would be unnecessary if the donor´s mother and his wife were both deceased at the time. The document indicates a distinction between their two situations, suggesting that the donor´s wife must have still been alive at the time. Comte Geoffroy [II] & his wife had two children: a) JEAN de Vendôme (-La Charité-sur-Loire [1185]). A charter dated 19 Jul 1126 records the restitution by "Joannes filius Goffridi Vindocinensis comitis" of property to La Trinité de Vendôme[81]. Comte de Vendôme. - see below. b) GEOFFROY de Vendôme (-after [1136/39]). "Gaufridus de Castroduno" donated property to the abbey of Sainte-Trinité de Tiron with the consent of "uxore mea [unnamed] Hugone filio meo et duabus filiabus meis Aupazia et Helvissa atque nepote meo Gofredo filio comitis Vindocinensis" by charter dated 1119[82]. "Goffridus comes Vindocinensis dictus Grisagonella" confirmed the possessions of La Trinité de Vendôme, for the soul of "uxoris mee Mahildis" and with the consent of "duo filii mei Johannis et Goffredus", by charter dated to [1102/29][83]. "Goffridus filius Goffridi comitis qui Grisagonella vocabatur" renounced his claim to "terra…prope Villam-Dei" in favour of La Trinité de Vendôme, at the request of "Mahildis comitissæ, matrius illius Goffridi", by charter dated 21 Jan 1130, witnessed by "Goffridus comes, Bartholomeus, Wulgrinus frater eius…"[84]. De Lavardin: "…Goffridus de Lavarzino filius eius, Heremias, Wlgrimus frater Bartholomei…" witnessed the charter dated 6 Nov 1134 under which "Goffridus comes Vindocinensis cognomento Grizagonella" confirmed the right of passage in the forest of Gâtines[85]. "Goffridus de Lavarzino filius comitis Vindocini…" witnessed the charter dated to [1136/39] which records the spiritual association granted to "vicecomitissa Castriduni, Eloisa, cum filio suo Hugone, per castrum Vindocinum iter agens" by Marmoutier[86]. Saint-Venant suggests that Geoffroy must have married “une fille de la maison de Lavardin...fille probablement d´Aimeric Gaymard et d´une de ses deux premières femmes” and “il eut probablement, comme dot de sa femme, une partie de la seigneurie de Lavardin”[87]. This appears to be the only possible explanation for Geoffroy´s assumption of the Lavardin name and, from a chronological point of view, the proposal is acceptable given Geoffroy´s birth date, probably dated to [1108/15]. However, the seigneurie de Lavardin appears to have passed to the family of the comtes de Vendôme only in the mid-12th century, with the marriage of Agatha, supposed daughter of Aymeric “Gaimard” Seigneur de Lavardin, to Bouchard [VII] Comte de Vendôme (see below Chapter 15.J). Given this succession, it is difficult to imagine that Aymeric “Gaimard” would have ceded part of his rights in Lavardin as part of a marriage treaty with Geoffroy de Vendôme. On the other hand, it is difficult to conceive another explanation for Geoffroy being referred to as “de Lavarzino”. One possibility is that Geoffroy was the same person as the second husband of Marie, widow of Aymeric “Gaimard” Seigneur de Lavardin, daughter of Geoffroy [Payen] & his wife ---. 2. ESCHIVARD [I] de Preuilly (-28 Oct, after [1137]). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified. Seigneur de Preuilly. “Eschivardus de Pruillé et Goffredus filius eius” granted privileges to Noyers by charter dated to [1137][88]. Seigneur de Bosay et de la Rocheposay.

The necrology of Bécheron records the death "V Id Feb" of “Gaufridus miles frater domini Eschivardi domini Prulliaci”[111]. d) AGATHE de Preuilly . Europäische Stammtafeln 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][112]. The mother of Gérard [II] Vicomte de Brosse was Agathe de Preuilly, as confirmed by his charter dated 1198 (after Sep) under which "Giraudus vicecomes Brucie, filius domne Agathe de Prullet" abandoned rights in favour of Saint-Benoît-du-Sault[113]. However, there is no indication that 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 (first) husband of Agathe de Preuilly and father of Vicomte Gérard [II], was another vicomte de Brosse. The primary source which confirms her supposed second marriage has not yet been identified. m firstly --- de Brosse, son of ---.

JEAN de Vendôme, son of GEOFFROY "Grisegonelle" Comte de Vendôme & his wife Mathilde de Châteaudun (-La Charité-sur-Loire [1185]). A charter dated 19 Jul 1126 records the restitution by "Joannes filius Goffridi Vindocinensis comitis" of property to La Trinité de Vendôme[159]. "Goffridus comes Vindocinensis dictus Grisagonella" confirmed the possessions of La Trinité de Vendôme, for the soul of "uxoris mee Mahildis" and with the consent of "duo filii mei Johannis et Goffredus", by charter dated to [1102/29][160]. A fragmentary chronicle of the dukes of Aquitaine names "Johanni Comiti primogenito Galfridi Grisagonellæ Comitis Vindonicensis atque Mahaudæ Castridunensis" when recording his first marriage[161]. "Goffridus Grisagonella comes Vindocini et Johannes filius eius" donated part of the forest of Gâtineau to the abbey of La Trinité de Vendôme by charter dated 1139, which states that Geoffroy had recently returned from Jerusalem, later consented to by "Lancelinus filius Johannis comitis Vindocini, Mathildis filia eiusdem Johannis, item alia filia Mathildis" and witnessed by "domnus Lancelinus de Baugenciaco…Goffridus de Chaorciis…"[162]. Comte de Vendôme. "Joannes Vindocinensis comes" part of the forest of Gâtines to the abbey of La Trinité de Vendôme, with the consent of "duo filii mei Burchardus primogenitus et Lancelinus…Agatha uxor Burchardi filii mei", by charter dated 1147[163]. The Chronicon Vindocinense records that "Joannis comitis" was excommunicated in 1177[164]. "Burchardus comes Vindocinensis" approved the donation of "bonæ memoriæ Johannes pater meus comes Vindocinensis" to the abbey of la Charité-sur-Loire by charter dated to [1185], witnessed by "Gaufridus frater noster, Johannes de Laval consanguineus noster, Matheus de Bellomonte"[165]. m firstly [BERTHE du Puy-du-Fou, daughter of GEOFFROY du Puy-du-Fou & his wife ---. A fragmentary chronicle of the dukes of Aquitaine records the marriage of "Johanni Comiti primogenitor Galfridi Grisagonellæ Comitis Vindonicensis atque Mahaudæ Castridunensis" and "Bertham", daughter of "Gaufridus de Podio-Fagi, filius Hugonis, ex eiusdem Ducis [=Willelmi Pictaviæ Ducis Aquitaniæ] progenie"[166]. The difficulty with this suggested marriage is the dubious status of this source, discussed fully in AQUITAINE DUKES. Nevertheless, it is likely that Comte Jean did marry twice, and that his first wife was the mother of his son Bouchard [VII], given that Bouchard´s wife and his father´s [supposed second] wife were probably sisters.] m secondly ([1147]) RICHILDE de Lavardin, daughter of [AYMERIC “Gaimard” Seigneur de Lavardin & his third wife] Marie --- (-24 Sep ----). "Richilda comitissa Vindocinensis" donated property "de Villeriis" to the abbey of La Trinité de Vendôme, with the consent of "Goffridi filii mei", by charter dated to [1147][167]. Her family origin is indicated by the charter dated to before 1185, under which "Wlgrinus miles monacus noster" [son of Ingelbald Brito] donated the mill of "Beto" to La Trinité de Vendôme for the soul of "Petro filio suo quem monacum fecimus", confirmed by "Maria uxor eius et quinque filii eius Goffridus, Herveus, Ingelbaldus, Petrus, Mauricius, et Agnes et Domitilla filie ipsius" and in the presence of "Johannes comes Vindocinensis et Richildis uxor eius, neptis Wlgrini…"[168]. This family origin is confirmed by the charter under which [her son] Barthélemy Archbishop of Tours confirmed donations made to the abbey of Saint-Pierre de Preuilly by "bonæ memoriæ Engelbaudo avunculo et predecessore nostro"[169], the latter being identified as the maternal uncle of Richilde de Lavardin. Although the sources quoted in this paragraph indicate that Richilde was the sister of Jean de Lavardin (son of Marie by her second husband Geoffroy de Lavardin), and that Richilde was the daughter of Marie, no primary source has been found which confirms that Richilde and Jean shared the same father. It appears more likely that Richilde was the full sister of Agatha de Lavardin (and therefore probably the daughter of Aymeric "Gaimard" Seigneur de Lavardin) and that their two marriages, respectively with the father and son Jean Comte de Vendôme and Bouchard [VII] Comte de Vendôme, were arranged because they were full sisters and each enjoyed rights to Lavardin. Clearly the Vendôme family was anxious to secure the Lavardin inheritance by marriage with the heiress. It seems more probable that Agatha´s marriage with the Vendôme heir was arranged first, and that Richilde´s marriage provided "back-up" for Jean Comte de Vendôme in case the Bouchard/Agatha marriage proved childless (and his other children died without heirs) to increase the chances that Lavardin would still remain within his family (or more importantly that it would not be lost to another family). "Johannes de Lavarzino…et Richeldis comitissa soror eius" donated property to La Trinité de Vendôme by charter dated to before 1188[170]. The necrology of Vendôme La Trinité records the death "VIII Kal Oct" of "Richilda comitissa fundatrix infirmarii"[171]. Comte Jean & his first wife had four children: 1. BOUCHARD [VII] de Vendôme ([1125/30]-1202). A fragmentary chronicle of the dukes of Aquitaine names "Buchardus, Lancelinus, Galfridus et Mahauda" as the children of "Johanni Comiti primogenito Galfridi Grisagonellæ Comitis Vindonicensis atque Mahaudæ Castridunensis" and his wife "Bertham"[172]. "Joannes Vindocinensis comes" part of the forest of Gâtines to the abbey of La Trinité de Vendôme, with the consent of "duo filii mei Burchardus primogenitus et Lancelinus…Agatha uxor Burchardi filii mei", by charter dated 1147[173]. "Burchardus comes Vindocinensis" approved the donation of "bonæ memoriæ Johannes pater meus comes Vindocinensis" to the abbey of la Charité-sur-Loire by charter dated to [1185], witnessed by "Gaufridus frater noster, Johannes de Laval consanguineus noster, Matheus de Bellomonte"[174]. Comte de Vendôme. A charter dated 1185 records the approval by Henry II King of England of the rights of "Vindocinense…comitem…Burchardum", including the provision for a donation if his oldest daughter married, signed by "Gaufredus filius eius…"[175]. "Burchardus…Johannis Vindocinensis comitis filius" made donations to Lavardin dated [1185/1202] for the soul of his wife Agatha, in which he names "filii eius Rodulfus et Gaufridus et Agnes soror eorum"[176]. "Bucardus comes Vindocinensis" approved the donation by "Johannes de Lavardino cognatus meus" of property he inherited from "Marie matris sue", with the consent of "filiorum meorum Gaufridi et Johannes thesaurarii et Johannis nepotis mei ex Gaufrido", to the abbey of Gatines by charter dated to [1185], which names "filio meo Johanne tesaurario Sancti Mauricii Turonensis" as present[177]. "Burchardus…Vindocinensis comes" created a foundation for maintenance of two lamps at La Trinité de Vendôme by charter dated 1195, which records the burial at the abbey of "fratris mei Lancelini", witnessed by "…Rainaldus de Insula…"[178]. "Burchardus de Lavardino comes Vindocinensis" donated property to La Trinité de Vendôme for the anniversary of "Johannis filii mei" by charter dated to [1190/1200][179]. "Burchardus comes Vindocini" confirmed the donation to Fontaines by "Johannes dominus de Montorio nepos meus", confirming the donation by "Petrus de Montorio pater suus" for the soul of "Agnetis uxoris suæ…meæ filiæ" who was buried there, by charter dated 1202[180]. The Chronicon Vindocinense records the death in 1202 of "Burchardus comes Vindocini"[181]. m (before 1147) [as her second husband,] AGATHA [de Lavardin], [widow of NIVELON [IV] Seigneur de Fréteval,] daughter of [AYMERIC “Gaimard” Seigneur de Lavardin & his third wife Marie ---] ([1120/25]-before [1185/1202]). "…Agathe uxore Nivelonis primogeniti…" witnessed the charter dated 14 Jan 1139 under which "dominus Ursio de Merlaio" renounced rights in favour of Notre-Dame de Chartres[182]. "…Uxore primogeniti filii mei…Agatha et Hilgodo Piel" consented to the donation by "Ursio dominus de Fractæ Vallis" by charter dated 1139[183]. Her parentage and first marriage are indicated by the Gesta Ambaziensium which records that "Guenmardus... [et] Mariam sororem Engelbaudi archiepiscopi et Bartholomæi de Vindocino...filiam" married “Nevolus de Fracta Valle” and that “ex qua heredes Lavardini qui modo sunt exstant”[184]. Her [second] marriage is confirmed, and her parentage indicated, by the charter dated 1147 under which "Joannes Vindocinensis comes" donated part of the forest of Gâtines to the abbey of La Trinité de Vendôme, with the consent of "duo filii mei Burchardus primogenitus et Lancelinus…apud Lavarziniacum, Agatha uxor Burchardi filii mei"[185]. The residence of Agatha at Lavardin, stated in this document, suggests a connection with the castle of that name. In addition, Agatha´s widower "Burchardus…Johannis Vindocinensis comitis filius" made donations to Lavardin dated [1185/1202] for the soul of his wife “Agatham hujus ville dominam”[186], consistent with her suggested Lavardin origin. This supposed second marriage is consistent with the reference in the Gesta Ambaziensium to “ex qua heredes Lavardini qui modo sunt exstant”, assuming that the latter were descended from Agatha´s second not her first marriage. In addition, [Agatha´s second husband] "Bucardus comes Vindocinensis" names [Agatha´s brother] "Johannes de Lavardino cognatus meus..." in his confirmation of a donation to Gatines dated to [1185][187], the word “cognatus” frequently indicating brother-in-law. It should be noted that Saint-Venant suggests that Agatha was the daughter of an otherwise unrecorded older son of Aymeric “Gaimard”, who died young and transmitted the right to Lavardin to his daughter. He highlights that Jean de Lavardin is never recorded as seigneur de Lavardin after the death of “his father” (whom, it appears, he assumes to be Aymeric), and that if Agatha had been the sister of Richilde (second wife of Jean Comte de Vendôme) the church would have vetoed the arrangement whereby one sister married the father and the other his son[188]. The scenario as proposed is not impossible. However, it is inconsistent with the Gesta Ambazensium as quoted above (Saint-Venant ignores Agatha´s supposed first marriage), nor is it certain that the church would have vetoed the marriages in question (there are other examples of father and son marrying two sisters). In addition, the source quoted below shows that Jean de Lavardin was the son of Marie, widow of Aymeric, by her second marriage not by her first marriage to Aymeric. Comte Bouchard [VII] & his wife had five children: a) JEAN de Vendôme (-before [1190/1200]). "Burchardus de Lavardino comes Vindocinensis" donated property to La Trinité de Vendôme for the anniversary of "Johannis filii mei" by charter dated to [1190/1200][189]. b) RAOUL de Vendôme (-after [1185/1202]). "Burchardus…Johannis Vindocinensis comitis filius" made donations to Lavardin dated [1185/1202] for the soul of his wife Agatha, in which he names "filii eius Rodulfus et Gaufridus et Agnes soror eorum"[190]. c) GEOFFROY de Vendôme (-before 1202). A charter dated 1185 records the approval by Henry II King of England of the rights of "Vindocinense…comitem…Burchardum", including the provision for a donation if his oldest daughter married, signed by "Gaufredus filius eius…"[191]. "Filiorum meorum Gaufridi et Johannes thesaurarii et Johannis nepotis mei ex Gaufrido" consented to the charter dated to [1185] under which "Bucardus comes Vindocinensis" approved the donation by "Johannes de Lavardino cognatus meus" of property he inherited from "Marie matris sue" to the abbey of Gatines[192]. "Burchardus…Johannis Vindocinensis comitis filius" made donations to Lavardin dated [1185/1202] for the soul of his wife Agatha, in which he names "filii eius Rodulfus et Gaufridus et Agnes soror eorum"[193]. Geoffory presumably predeceased his father. m ---. The name of Geoffroy's wife is not known. Geoffroy & his wife had [two] children: i) JEAN de Vendôme (-before 1208). "Filiorum meorum Gaufridi et Johannes thesaurarii et Johannis nepotis mei ex Gaufrido" consented to the charter dated to [1185] under which "Bucardus comes Vindocinensis" approved the donation by "Johannes de Lavardino cognatus meus" of property he inherited from "Marie matris sue" to the abbey of Gatines[194]. Comte de Vendôme. "Johannes comes Vindocinensis" granted the fair of Notre-Dame to the abbey of La Trinité de Vendôme, for the souls of "domini Buchardi predecessoris mei comitis Vindocinensis…", by charter dated 1203, witnessed by "Goffrido de Vindocino avunculo meo…"[195]. “Joannes comes Vindocinensis” confirmed a donation in favour of La Charité-sur-Loire by “Joannes abavus meus…comes Vindocinensis…et Burchardus comes filius eius”, approved by “Gaufridus de Vindocino avunculus meus”, by charter dated Sep 1206[196]. ii) [MATHILDE de Vendôme (-after 1227). "Johannes Montiniaci dominus et Veteris Vici" relinquished rights in favour of the priory of Saint-Hilaire, with the consent of “fratribus Hugone...Gaufredo et uxore mea Mathilde et filiabus meis Isabella et Margarita”, by charter dated 1200[197]. The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. "Dominus Johannes de Montiniaco et de Veteri-Vico" transferred rights to the abbey of La Trinité de Vendôme, with the consent of "Matildis uxoris sue et heredum suorum Odonis, Hugonis, Margarite, Adeline" by charter dated Aug 1207[198]. There must be some doubt about Mathilde´s parentage, otherwise it is difficult to understand the inheritance of the county of Vendôme by the descendants of her supposed paternal aunt Agnes. "Johannes Montigniaci dominus" confirmed a donation to La Madeleine de Châteaudun, with the consent of "Matildis uxoris mee et filiorum meorum Hugonis et Johannis et filiarum Margarite, Adelicie, Ysabelle", by charter dated Dec 1212[199]. m (before 1198) JEAN "le Roux" Seigneur de Montigny-le-Ganelon, son of EUDES de Montigny & his wife Heloise --- (-[May 1219/1227]).] d) AGNES de Vendôme (-1201, bur Abbaye de Notre Dame de Fontaines). "Burchardus…Johannis Vindocinensis comitis filius" made donations to Lavardin dated [1185/1202] for the soul of his wife Agatha, in which he names "filii eius Rodulfus et Gaufridus et Agnes soror eorum"[200]. "Burchardus comes Vindocini" confirmed the donation to Fontaines by "Johannes dominus de Montorio nepos meus", confirming the donation by "Petrus de Montorio pater suus" for the soul of "Agnetis uxoris suæ…meæ filiæ", by charter dated 1202[201]. m PIERRE de Montoire, son of PHILIPPE de Montoire & his wife Eléonore --- (-before 1202). e) JEAN [III] de Vendôme (-[Jan/Mar] 1217). "Filiorum meorum Gaufridi et Johannes thesaurarii et Johannis nepotis mei ex Gaufrido" consented to the charter dated to [1185] under which "Bucardus comes Vindocinensis" approved the donation by "Johannes de Lavardino cognatus meus" of property he inherited from "Marie matris sue" to the abbey of Gatines[202]. Thesaurarius at Tours. Provost at Saint-Georges de Vendôme. He presumably resigned his ecclesiastical appointments and married after his succession as comte de Vendôme. Comte de Vendôme 1209. "Johannes comes Vindocinensis" relinquished rights over "prepositos de Masengeio" to Chartres, with the consent of “Marie uxoris mee sororis comitis Sancti Pauli”, by charter dated Sep 1213[203]. "Johannes comes Vindocensis" approved a donation to the abbey of La Trinité de Vendôme by "Petrus de Turne miles", by charter dated 1217[204]. m (before Sep 1213) as her third husband, MARIE, divorced wife firstly of RENAUD Comte de Dammartin, and widow secondly of ROBERT de Vieuxpont Seigneur de Courville, daughter of [GUY [II] Seigneur de Châtillon-sur-Marne] & his wife Alix de Dreux [Capet] (-after 1241). The Historia Comitum Ghisnensium refers to the wife of "Reinaldus filius Alberti de Dominio-Martini comitis" as "sorore Waltheri de Castellione", specifying that he left her in order to marry "Boloniem comitissam Idam"[205]. It should be noted that none of the sources quoted in this section specify that Marie was the daughter of Guy [II] Seigneur de Châtillon. It is possible therefore that she was born from her mother´s third marriage. "M. domina Curveville" referred to "vivente domino meo R. de Veteri Ponte" in a charter dated to [1205][206]. "Maria domina de Corbavilla" gave security for "forteritia de Lavardin...quamdiu neptis mea Aales ibidem habebit dotalitium suum" to Philippe IV King of France by charter dated Feb 1212[207]. "Johannes comes Vindocinensis" relinquished rights over "prepositos de Masengeio" to Chartres, with the consent of “Marie uxoris mee sororis comitis Sancti Pauli”, by charter dated Sep 1213[208]. "Maria domina Curveville quondam comitissa Vindocinensis" donated revenue “in prepositura Curveville” to the priory of Saint-Nicolas de Courville, with the consent of "Ivo de Veteri Ponte miles filius meus dominus Curveville", by charter dated Mar 1242[209]. 2. LANCELIN de Vendôme (-before 1195, bur La Trinité de Vendôme). A fragmentary chronicle of the dukes of Aquitaine names "Buchardus, Lancelinus, Galfridus et Mahauda" as the children of "Johanni Comiti primogenitor Galfridi Grisagonellæ Comitis Vindonicensis atque Mahaudæ Castridunensis" and his wife "Bertham"[210]. "Lancelinus filius Johannis comitis Vindocini, Mathildis filia eiusdem Johannis, item alia filia Mathildis" consented to the charter dated 1139 under which "Goffridus Grisagonella comes Vindocini et Johannes filius eius" donated part of the forest of Gâtineau to the abbey of La Trinité de Vendôme[211]. "Joannes Vindocinensis comes" part of the forest of Gâtines to the abbey of La Trinité de Vendôme, with the consent of "duo filii mei Burchardus primogenitus et Lancelinus", by charter dated 1147[212]. "Burchardus…Vindocinensis comes" created a foundation for maintenance of two lamps at La Trinité de Vendôme by charter dated 1195, which records the burial at the abbey of "fratris mei Lancelini", witnessed by "…Rainaldus de Insula…"[213]. 3. MATHILDE de Vendôme (-[1214]). A fragmentary chronicle of the dukes of Aquitaine names "Buchardus, Lancelinus, Galfridus et Mahauda" as the children of "Johanni Comiti primogenitor Galfridi Grisagonellæ Comitis Vindonicensis atque Mahaudæ Castridunensis" and his wife "Bertham"[214]. "Lancelinus filius Johannis comitis Vindocini, Mathildis filia eiusdem Johannis, item alia filia Mathildis" consented to the charter dated 1139 under which "Goffridus Grisagonella comes Vindocini et Johannes filius eius" donated part of the forest of Gâtineau to the abbey of La Trinité de Vendôme[215]. "Comitis Hainrici...comitis Stephani filii" donated Saint-Sauveur de Guingamp to Marmoutiers by charter dated 19 Sep 1151 "die ipso quo Hainricus comes Mathildem filiam Johannis Vindocin. comitis apud Meduanam uxorem duxit"[216]. The Chronicon Ruyensis Cœnobii records the death in 1214 of "Mathildis Comitissa"[217], which may refer to the widow of Henri Comte de Tréguier although she would have been old at the time. m (Mayenne 19 Sep 1151) HENRI de Bretagne Comte de Tréguier et de Guingamp, son of ETIENNE de Bretagne Lord of Richmond & his wife Hawise de Guingamp ([1100]-early 1183). 4. MATHILDE de Vendôme (before 1139-3 Feb 1199, bur Abbaye de Fontaine-les-Blanches). "Lancelinus filius Johannis comitis Vindocini, Mathildis filia eiusdem Johannis, item alia filia Mathildis" consented to the charter dated 1139 under which "Goffridus Grisagonella comes Vindocini et Johannes filius eius" donated part of the forest of Gâtineau to the abbey of La Trinité de Vendôme[218]. "Sulpicius dominus Ambaziæ et Matildis mater mea et omnes fratres et sorores Hugo…et Johannes, Helisabeth et Agnes atque Dionisia" donated property to the abbey of Fontaines-les-Blanches by charter dated 1194[219]. “Sulpice seigneur d’Amboise” confirmed that “Hugues d’Azay” had granted “la dîme de Carbonel” to “Mathilde mère de Sulpice” who had donated it to the monks of Pont-Levoy, for the soul of “son père Hugues”, confirmed by “Sulpice...Hugues, Jehan et Guillaume ses frères, par Elisabeth comtesse d’Angoulême, Agnès comtesse d’Evreux, Denise et Mathilde ses sœurs”, by charter dated 1196[220]. “Mathilde dame d’Amboise” donated property to Liget abbey, for the soul of “Hugues d’Amboise son mari”, with the consent of “Sulpice, de Hugues, Jean et Guillaume ses fils, d’Isabelle comtesse d’Angoulême, d’Agnès comtesse d’Evreux, et de Denise, ses filles”, by charter dated 1198[221]. The necrology of Pontlevoy records the death "III Non Feb" of "Mahildis domina de Ambazia"[222]. The necrology of Vendôme La Trinité records the death "III Non Feb" of "Mathildis de Ambazia"[223]. "Sulpitius dominus Ambaziæ" granted concessions to Marmoutier, with the consent of "Isabel uxoris meæ et fratrum meorum Hugonis, Johannis et Willielmi et sororum mearum Isabel comitissæ Engolismensis et Dyonisiæ", for the soul of "dominæ Matildis felicis memoriæ…matris meæ", by charter dated 1199[224]. Her place of burial is confirmed by the charter dated 20 Mar 1202 (O.S.?) under which [her son] “Sulpice seigneur d’Amboise” donated property to Fontaines abbey, in acknowledgement of “sa mère Mathilde” being buried there[225]. m HUGUES [II] Seigneur d'Amboise, son of SULPICE [II] Seigneur d'Amboise & his wife Agnes de Donzy (-[1190/94], bur Saint-Florentin). Comte Jean & his second wife had two children: 5. GEOFFROY de Vendôme (-1222 or after). A fragmentary chronicle of the dukes of Aquitaine names "Buchardus, Lancelinus, Galfridus et Mahauda" as the children of "Johanni Comiti primogenitor Galfridi Grisagonellæ Comitis Vindonicensis atque Mahaudæ Castridunensis" and his wife "Bertham"[226]. This document misstates Geoffroy´s mother (unless there was another son named Geoffroy, born from his father´s first marriage, who died young), as shown by undated charter (dated to [1147] by the editor of the collection consulted, but the chronology suggests that it should be dated later) under which "Richilda comitissa Vindocinensis" donated property "de Villeriis" to the abbey of La Trinité de Vendôme, with the consent of "Goffridi filii mei"[227]. "Gaufridus frater noster…" witnessed the charter dated to [1185] under which "Burchardus comes Vindocinensis" approved the donation of "bonæ memoriæ Johannes pater meus comeds Vindocinensis" to the abbey of la Charité-sur-Loire[228]. Benedict of Peterborough records the capture by Philippe II King of France of Mondoubleau from Hugues Vicomte de Châteaudun, dated to 1189, during the course of which "Gaufrido Vindocinensi comiti" was seriously wounded, and at first given up for dead, but later recovered[229]. "Goffridus de Vindocino, Archembaudus prepositus Vindocinensis..." witnessed the charter dated to [1190] under which “Galterius de Rupe” donated “quartam partem molendini de Cortozeio” to La Trinité de Vendôme[230]. "Dominus Goffridus de Vindocino frater comitis Burchardi" consented to the donation to La Trinité de Vendôme by "Odo de Grois miles" by charter dated to [1190][231]. "Goffridus miles de Vindocino filius Johannis comitis et Richildis comitissæ" donated his possessions "apud castrum Carceris" [La Chartre] to La Trinité de Vendôme by charter dated 1203[232]. "Johannes comes Vindocinensis" granted the fair of Notre-Dame to the abbey of La Trinité de Vendôme, for the souls of "domini Buchardi predecessoris mei comitis Vindocinensis…", by charter dated 1203, witnessed by "Goffrido de Vindocino avunculo meo…"[233]. “Joannes comes Vindocinensis” confirmed a donation in favour of La Charité-sur-Loire by “Joannes abavus meus…comes Vindocinensis…et Burchardus comes filius eius”, approved by “Gaufridus de Vindocino avunculus meus”, by charter dated Sep 1206[234]. A charter dated 1222 records a donation by "Geoffroy fils de Jean comte de Vendôme et de Richilde comtesse de Vendôme" to La Trinité de Vendôme for his anniversary, presumably therefore made in expectation of his own death[235]. The tomb and remains of “Gaufridus de Vindocino filius Johannis comitis Vindocini et Richildis comitisse” were found in 1892 during excavations in the church of La Trinité de Vendôme, his skull showing a deep wound which, Saint-Venant suggests, resulted from the incident recounted by Benedict of Peterborough in 1189 (see above)[236]. 6. BARTHELEMY de Vendôme (-15 Oct 1206). Deacon at Tours before 1174. Archbishop of Tours 1174. "Jean sire de Montorii" relinquished his rights in the abbey of Toussaint in favour of "Barthélemy son oncle archevêque de Tours" by charter dated 1204[237]. The identity of his mother is confirmed by the charter under which he confirmed donations made to the abbey of Saint-Pierre de Preuilly by "bonæ memoriæ Engelbaudo avunculo et predecessore nostro"[238], the latter being identified as the maternal uncle of Richilde de Lavardin. Jean Seigneur de Montoire relinquished claims to the church of Savonnières in favour of "Barthélemy son oncle archevêque de Tours" by charter dated 1204[239]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records in 1206 the death of “Bartholomeus Turonorum archiepiscopus” and the succession of “Gaufridus...Parisiensis archidyaconus” who held office for one and a half years, after whom “Iohannes archiepiscopus” was ordained[240].
The precise relationships between the following individuals and the main Vendôme family have not been ascertained.
1. --- de Vendôme (-after 1228). "Josbertus dominus Sanctæ Mauræ" granted privileges to Cormery, with the consent of "uxoris meæ filiæ comitis Vindocini", by charter dated 1228[241]. No indication has been found of the identity of her father. While Jean de Montigny was Comte de Vendôme at the date of this charter, from a chronological point of view it appears more likely that her father was one of the earlier comtes de Vendôme. Maybe she was a younger daughter of Comte Bouchard [VII]. m JOSBERT de Pressigny Seigneur de Sainte-Maure, son of GUILLAUME de Pressigny Seigneur de Sainte-Maure & his wife Hawise de Sainte-Maure ([1175/85]-after 1245).
2. MATHILDE --- (-after 1233). Geoffroy de Palluau donated one third 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[242]. Geoffroy de Palluau donated property to Baugerais abbey on leaving for Jerusalem, with the consent of "Mathilde sa femme...et de leurs enfants Bouchard, Guy, Jean, Pierre, Isabelle et Aiglantine", by charter dated 8 Jul 1208[243]. Geoffroy de Palluau donated property to Villeloin, with the consent of "sa femme Mathilde, et de Bouchard, Guy et Pierre ses fils", for the anniversary of “Jean de Montoire son neveu”, by charter dated 1233[244]. 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. m (before 1200) GEOFFROY [I] de Palluau, son of --- (-[1235/37]). Seigneur de Montrésor.
D. COMTES de VENDÔME (SEIGNEURS de MONTOIRE)
The primary sources which confirm the parentage and marriages of the members of the following family have not yet been identified, unless otherwise indicated below.
JEAN de Montoire, son of PIERRE de Montoire & his wife Agnes de Vendôme (-[1239/40]). "Burchardus comes Vindocini" confirmed the donation to Fontaines by "Johannes dominus de Montorio nepos meus", confirming the donation by "Petrus de Montorio pater suus" for the soul of "Agnetis uxoris suæ…meæ filiæ", by charter dated 1202[245]. Jean Seigneur de Montoire relinquished claims to the church of Savonnières in favour of "Barthélemy son oncle archevêque de Tours" by charter dated 1204[246].

"Jean Seigneur de Montorio" reached agreement with Chartres Notre-Dame, with the consent of "Eglentine uxoris mee, Johannis filii mei et Agnetis filie mee", by charter dated Apr 1216[252]. 1234. The necrology of Pontlevoy records the death "II Non Mai" of "Johannes comes Vindocinensis, Agnes uxor eius"[253]. It is not known with certainty to whom this entry refers. There is no other record of a "Jean Comte de Vendôme" married to an "Agnes". The name of the wife of this Jean is the most similar to Agnes. Another possibility is that "Johannes" in the entry is an error. Comte Jean & his wife had seven children: 1. JEAN de Montoire (-after Apr 1216). "Jean Seigneur de Montorio" reached agreement with Chartres Notre-Dame, with the consent of "Eglentine uxoris mee, Johannis filii mei et Agnetis filie mee", by charter dated Apr 1216[254]. 2.

He succeeded his father as Comte de Vendôme. "Petrus comes Vindocinensis" donated property “apud Colomerium...” to La Trinité de Vendôme by charter dated 1240[257]. "Petrus comes Vindocinensis" confirmed the donation by "patris mei Iohannis bone memorie quondam comitis Vindocinensis" to the abbey of Lieu-Notre-Dame-lès-Romorantin by charter dated Jun 1248[258]. m JEANNE de Mayenne, daughter of JUHEL [II] Seigneur de Mayenne & his wife Gervaise de Vitré Dame de Dinan (-11 Apr ----). Dame de la Chartre-sur-Loir 1233. Dame de Lassay et de Château-du-Loir 1246. The necrology of Le Mans Cathedral records the death "III Id Apr" of "Johanna de Meduana, quondam comitissa Vidoeinensis"[259]. Comte Pierre & his wife had [five] children: a) BOUCHARD [VIII] de Vendôme (-[15 May 1271], bur St Georges de Vendôme). He succeeded his father as Comte de Vendôme. Seigneur de Lavardin et de Montoire: “Bucardus comes Vindocinensis et dominus Lavardini et Montis-aurei” confirmed an exchanged of property with Marmoutier by charter dated 1256[260]. "Buchardus comes Vindocinensis" reduced his royalty on the possessions of the abbey La Trinité de Vendôme from the rate previously agreed with "patrem meum bone memorie Petrum quondam comitem Vindocinensem", with the consent of "Gaufredus de Lavardino miles…avunculus meus", by charter dated Dec 1263[261]. A charter dated Sep 1269, addressed to "Macé vidame de Chartres et Renault de Precigné chevaliers", records the dispute between “Boichart comte de Vendôme et Renaut de Lille chevalier” concerning rights “en Lille et au Rolleiz”[262]. m ([before 1259]) as her second husband, MARIE de Roye, widow of AUBERT [IV] de Hangest Seigneur de Genlis, daughter of RAOUL de Roye Seigneur de la Ferté-en-Ponthieu & his wife Marie de Ville (-13 Mar ----).

The primary sources which confirm the parentage and marriages of the members of the following family have not been identified, unless otherwise specified below. Père Anselme[339] and Kerrebrouck[340] (based apparently on Anselme) provide outlines of the Vendôme/Bourbon family, on which the following reconstruction is based, but neither cites many primary sources which corroborate their information. However, it should be recalled that the first edition of Père Anselme’s work is dated to the second half of the 17th century when he would have had access to extensive documentation, especially relating to the later generations of this family, which has presumably since disappeared.
JEAN de Bourbon, son of JACQUES de Bourbon Comte de la Marche et de Ponthieu & his wife Jeanne de Châtillon dame de Leuzé et de Condé (1344-Vendôme 11 Jun 1393, bur Vendôme, église Saint-Georges). He succeeded his brother 1361 as Comte de la Marche. He was confirmed as Comte de la Marche 23 Dec 1371 at Paris by Charles V King of France. He succeeded as Comte de Vendôme et de Castres 1371, by right of his wife. Lieutenant General of the King in Limousin. "Jean de Bourbon comte de la Marche, de Vendôme et de Castres et Catherine de Vendôme sa femme" divided their territories between their children by charter dated 15 Sep 1390[341]. m (contract Paris 28 Sep 1364) CATHERINE de Vendôme, daughter of JEAN [VI] Comte de Vendôme et de Castres & his wife Jeanne de Ponthieu [Castile] (-1 Apr 1412, bur Vendôme, église Saint-Georges). Père Anselme cites her marriage contract dated 28 Sep 1364 but provides no citation reference[342]. She succeeded on the death of her brother 16 Nov 1371 as Ctss de Vendôme et de Castres. "Jean de Bourbon comte de la Marche, de Vendôme et de Castres et Catherine de Vendôme sa femme" divided their territories between their children by charter dated 15 Sep 1390[343]. Comte Jean & his wife had [seven] children: 1. JACQUES [II] de Bourbon ([1369/70]-Besançon 24 Sep 1438, bur Besançon, couvent des Cordelières Sainte-Claire). "Jean de Bourbon comte de la Marche, de Vendôme et de Castres et Catherine de Vendôme sa femme" divided their territories between their children, granting "les comtés de la Marche et de Castres, tout ce qu’ils ont dans le Hainaut, la châtellenie de Montaigu avec la terre de Bellac" to "Jacques de Bourbon leur fils aîné", by charter dated 15 Sep 1390[344]. He joined the crusade summer 1395, and was captured at the siege of Nikopolis in 1396[345]. Grand Chamberlain 26 Jul 1397. The testament of "Jacques de Bourbon comte de la Marche et de Castres", dated 23 Jun 1415, appointed “Jean duc de Bourbon son cousin” as his heir if “Aliénor sa fille mourrait sans enfants”[346]. Under the marriage contract for his second marriage, he was to bear the title "Prince of Tarento". However, after his arrival in Naples, his wife associated him with the government of the kingdom and he was styled "King of Hungary, Jerusalem, Sicily, Dalmatia, Croatia, Rania, Serbia, Galicia, Lodomeria and Bulgaria, Comte de Provence, de Forcalquier et de Piémont". However, in an attempt to seize power he imprisoned his wife the Queen in her apartments in the palace. She was released by the nobles who obliged Jacques to abandon the royal title. He was imprisoned, leaving Naples on his release for Tarento where his wife's sister-in-law Marie d'Enghien lived[347]. The county of Castres was given to his brother Louis de Bourbon Comte de Vendôme in 1425. He became a monk at the convent of Saint-François at Besançon in 1435. Kerrebrouck notes his death at Besançon 24 Sep 1438 “âgé d’env. soixante-huit ans” and his place of burial, without citing the primary source on which the information is based[348]. If correct, this dates his birth to [1369/70], which seems early bearing in mind the date of his first marriage. m firstly (contract 15 Aug 1405, Pamplona 14 Sep 1406) Infanta doña BEATRIZ de Navarra, daughter of CARLOS III "el Noble" King of Navarre & his wife Infanta doña Leonor de Castilla y León (1386-1410). Père Anselme records the marriage contract of Beatriz dated 15 Aug 1405 but provides no citation reference[349]. m secondly (10 Aug 1415) as her second husband, JEANNE II Queen of Sicily, widow of WILHELM Duke of Styria and Inner Austria [Habsburg], daughter of CHARLES III King of Sicily [Anjou-Capet] & his wife Marguerite di Durazzo [Anjou-Capet] (Zara 25 Jun 1373-Naples 2 Feb 1435, bur Naples, Santa Annunziata). The 15th century Cronachetta degli Sforza records that "la Regina Iohana" selected "misare Iacobo de Bornona conte de la Martia di Francia" as her husband in 1414[350]. Comte Jacques & his first wife had [three] children: a) [ISABELLE de Bourbon . She is not named by Père Anselme[351]. Kerrebrouck names “Isabelle de Bourbon religieuse” as the oldest child of Jacques by his first marriage, without citing any primary source which corroborates the information[352]. Her existence is open to doubt, as her supposed father’s testament dated 23 Jun 1415 names only his daughter Eléonore, unless Isabelle died before that date in which case she would presumably have been too young to have become a nun.] b) [MARIE de Bourbon (1410-). She is not named by Père Anselme[353]. Kerrebrouck names “Marie de Bourbon religieuse”, born 1410, as the second child of Jacques by his first marriage, without citing any primary source which corroborates the information[354]. Her existence is open to doubt, as her supposed father’s testament dated 23 Jun 1415 names only his daughter Eléonore, unless Marie died before that date in which case she would presumably have been too young to have become a nun.] c) ELEONORE de Bourbon (-after 11 Sep 1463). The testament of "Jacques de Bourbon comte de la Marche et de Castres", dated 23 Jun 1415, appointed “Jean duc de Bourbon son cousin” as his heir if “Aliénor sa fille mourrait sans enfants”[355]. "Bernard d’Armagnac comte de Pardiac, vicomte de Carlat et de Murat" renounced his rights “sur la succession de la comtesse de Boulogne” in favour of his father-in-law in consideration of his marriage to “Eléonore fille de Jacques roi de Hongrie, de Jérusalem et de Sicile, comte de la Marche et de Castres” by charter dated 4 Sep 1424[356]. The testament of "Bonne de Berry comtesse d’Armaganc et de Rhodes vicomtesse de Carlades, veuve de Bernard comte d’Armagnac et Rhodes", dated 18 Sep 1430, bequeathed property to “...Aliénor de Bourbon femme de Bernard d’Armagnac...”[357]. She succeeded in 1435 as Ctss de la Marche et de Castres, when her father retired to a monastery. Created Dss de Nemours (pair de France), with her husband, 3 Apr 1461 (registered 14 Apr). m (contract 4 Sep 1424, contract 25 Jul 1429, in person 28 Jul 1429) BERNARD d'Armagnac Comte de Pardiac, son of BERNARD [VII] Comte d'Armagnac et de Rodez & his wife Bonne de Berry (29 Mar 1400-1462). Vicomte de Carlat et de Murat 1434. Comte de la Marche 1435, by right of his wife. Connétable de France. Created Duc de Nemours (pair de France), with his wife, 3 Apr 1461 (registered 14 Apr). Comte Jacques had one illegitimate child by an unknown mistress: d) CLAUDE d'Aix (-Dôle 10 Dec 1439, bur Dôle, couvent des Cordeliers). Père Anselme records that “Claude d’Aix, fils naturel du comte Jacques”, after having served as soldier for a long time, died “novice au couvent des Cordeliers de Dole en Franche-Comté”, but provides no indication of the dating[358]. Boissonnet reports that a tomb, which still existed 50 years before he was writing (date unascertained: 19th century?), but no longer existed, at Dôle Les Cordeliers recorded the burial of “frère Claude, fils de Jacques de Bourbon, roy de Naples et de Sicile, Comte de la Marche” who died “novice en ce couvent le X décembre 1439”[359]. 2. ANNE de Bourbon (-Paris Sep 1408, bur Paris, église des Jacobins). The date of her marriage suggests that she was one of her parents’ oldest children. Dame de Cailly et de Quillebeuf: "Jean de Bourbon comte de la Marche, de Vendôme et de Castres et Catherine de Vendôme sa femme" divided their territories between their children, granting "les terres de Cailly, de Guidebeuf et de Bois-Normant, et généralement tout ce qu’ils ont en Normandie" to "Annette leur fille", by charter dated 15 Sep 1390[360]. m firstly (1390) as his second wife, JEAN de Berry Comte de Montpensier, son of JEAN de France Duc de Berry et d'Auvergne [Valois] & his first wife Jeanne d'Armagnac (4 Feb 1377-1397[361]). According to Kerrebrouck, Jean died after his father, although he cites no source in support[362]. Such a late date of death is inconsistent with his wife's remarriage in 1402, unless she was divorced from her first husband although no mention of any such divorce has been found. m secondly (Paris 1 Oct 1402) as his first wife, LUDWIG von Bayern-Ingolstadt, son of STEFAN III Duke of Bavaria-Ingolstadt & his wife Taddea Visconti of Milan ([20 Dec 1365/1369]-in prison Burghausen 1/2 May 1447, bur Raitenhaslach). He succeeded his father in 1413 as LUDWIG VII "der Bärtige" Duke of Bavaria-Ingolstadt. 3. LOUIS de Bourbon ([1375/76]-Tours 21 Dec 1446, bur Vendôme, église Saint-Georges). Comte de Vendôme: "Jean de Bourbon comte de la Marche, de Vendôme et de Castres et Catherine de Vendôme sa femme" divided their territories between their children, granting "le comtés de Vendôme, la châtellenie d’Epernon, les terres de Préaux et Remalard" to "Louis leur second fils", by charter dated 15 Sep 1390[363]. Grand Chamberlain of France 17 Apr 1408. He was captured at the battle of Agincourt 1415, remaining a prisoner in the Tower of London until 1424[364]. Lieutenant General in Champagne, Brie, Chartres, Beauce and Vendômois. Comte de Castres 1425. Kerrebrouck notes his death at Tours 21 Dec 1446 “âgé d’env. soixante-dix ans” and his place of burial, without citing the primary source on which the information is based[365]. If correct, this dates his birth to [1375/76], which seems early bearing in mind the date of his first marriage. m firstly (contract 21 Dec 1414) BLANCHE de Roucy, daughter of HUGUES Comte de Roucy et de Braine & his wife Blanche de Coucy Dame de Montmirail (-22 Aug 1421, bur Vendôme, église Saint-Georges). Père Anselme records her marriage contract dated 21 Dec 1414, the date of her death and place of burial, without citing the primary sources on which the information is based[366]. m secondly (contracts 21 Aug 1424 and Rennes 24 Aug 1424) JEANNE de Laval Dame de Campzillon en Mesquer, daughter of GUY [XIII] Seigneur de Laval [JEAN de Montfort] & his wife Anne Dame de Laval et de Vitré (-Château de Lavardin 18 Dec 1468, bur Vendôme, église Saint-Georges). Père Anselme records her marriage contract dated 24 Aug 1424 at Rennes, the date of her death and place of burial, without citing the primary sources on which the information is based[367]. Mistress (1): SIBYLLE Bostum, daughter of ---. Père Anselme names “Sibylle Bostum angloise” as the mother of Louis illegitimate son Jean without providing any indication of the primary source on which this information is based[368]. Comte Louis & his second wife had two children: a) JEAN de Bourbon (after 1425-Château de Lavardin, near Vendôme 6 Jan 1477, bur Vendôme, église Saint-Georges). He succeeded his father 1446 as Comte de Vendôme. - see below. b) CATHERINE [Gabrielle] de Bourbon (-young). Comte Louis had one illegitimate child by Mistress (1): c) JEAN bâtard de Vendôme dit de Bourbon ([in England] [1420]-after 3 Mar 1497). Père Anselme names Jean as illegitimate son of Louis Comte de Vendôme, born in England to “Sibylle Bostum angloise”[369]. He provides no indication of the primary source on which this information is based, but he does record that Jean was naturalised in France “comme il étoit né en Angleterre” by letters dated Aug 1496 at Amboise and verified 3 Mar 1497[370]. Europäische Stammtafeln dates his birth to [1420][371]. This date is consistent with his father being imprisoned in England between 1415 and 1424 (see above), but would mean that he was about 30 years old when knighted (see below) which seems old when other sources indicate knighting ceremonies frequently took place soon after individuals attained the age of majority. Kerrebrouck dates Jean’s birth to [1440] but, as he cites only the Europäische Stammtafeln table cited above, this date is presumably a misprint for [1420][372]. Père Anselme records that Jean was legitimated by letters of the king dated May 1449 at Razilly near Chinon and 2 Feb 1469 (O.S.?) at Amboise[373]. Jean Chartier’s Chronicle of Charles VII King of France names “...Jehan bastard de Vendosme...” among those who were knighted 23 Jun [1451][374]. Seigneur de Préaux, de Vaussay et de Bonneval. Governor of Vendômois 1489. m firstly JEANNE d'Illiers, daughter of JEAN d'Illiers Seigneur de Radrets en Vendômois & his wife Catherine de Mailly. m secondly (1451) GILLETTE Perdrielle, daughter of --- (Sens ---- -). Jean & his first wife had one child: i) MATHURINE de Vendôme . Jean & his second wife had six children: ii) JEAN de Vendôme (-[5 Mar 1483]). Curé de Lunay. Conseiller au parlement. iii) FRANÇOIS de Vendôme (-before 1540). Canon at Saint-Georges de Vendôme. Curé de Lunay. iv) JACQUES de Vendôme . v) LOUISE de Vendôme . m JEAN des Loges Seigneur de Toucheronde. vi) MATHURINE de Vendôme (-before 3 Mar 1483). m (1479) PIERRE de Montigny Seigneur de la Boisse, son of JACQUES de Montigny Seigneur du Fresne, d'Authon et du Plessis-Godehoust & his wife Jeanne de Créaux (-before 13 Jun 1489). vii) MARIE de Vendôme (-[1539]). m firstly --- Seigneur de La Valette en Limousin, son of ---. m secondly JACQUES de Gaudebert Seigneur des Forges, son of ---. 4. JEAN de Bourbon (-29 Apr 1458). Seigneur de Carency: "Jean de Bourbon comte de la Marche, de Vendôme et de Castres et Catherine de Vendôme sa femme" divided their territories between their children, granting "les terres de l’Ecluse et Carency et généralement tout ce qu’ils ont en Picardie" to "Jean dernier fils", by charter dated 15 Sep 1390[375]. A charter dated 9 Aug 1434 records negotiations between “noble homme André Ronssart, heritier de feu noble homme Jean Ronssart fils de feu Gervais Ronssart et de noble dame Jeanne de Vendomaise” and “messire Jean de Bourbon chevalier seigneur de Carency et de Savigné sur Bray et noble dame Jeanne de Vendomoise sa femme et paravant femme de feu Gervais Roussart et mere de feu Jean Ronssart”[376]. Jacques du Clercq records that “messire Jehan de Bourbon seigneur de l’Ecluse et de Carency” died “le pénultiesnme d’apvril” 1458[377]. m firstly CATHERINE d'Artois, daughter of PHILIPPE d'Artois Comte d'Eu & his wife Marie de Berry (-before 3 Sep 1420). m secondly (after 3 Sep 1420) as her second husband, JEANNE de Vendômois, widow of GERMAIN Ronsart, daughter of HAMELIN de Vendômois & his wife Alix de Bessé dame de Bessé-sur-Braye. Père Anselme names her and records that she and Jean de Bourbon had children during the lifetime of her first husband, that they married by official permission “de l’Official du Mans” dated 3 Sep 1420, that Pope Eugene IV granted dispensation for the marriage 15 May 1438 which legitimated the couple’s children, although this was later contested by their paternal aunt Marie de Bourbon (see below), and that the marriage was finally confirmed as legal by the parlement of Paris 31 Mar 1461[378]. A charter dated 9 Aug 1434 records negotiations between “noble homme André Ronssart, heritier de feu noble homme Jean Ronssart fils de feu Gervais Ronssart et de noble dame Jeanne de Vendomaise” and “messire Jean de Bourbon chevalier seigneur de Carency et de Savigné sur Bray et noble dame Jeanne de Vendomoise sa femme et paravant femme de feu Gervais Roussart et mere de feu Jean Ronssart”[379]. Jean & his second wife had eight children (whose legitimacy was contested as noted above): a) LOUIS de Bourbon (-Louvres en Parisis, near Paris, 27 Oct 1462, bur Senlis, église des Cordeliers). Legitimated by the subsequent marriage of his parents. Seigneur de Carency. Jacques du Clercq records that “messire Louis de Bourbon chevallier seigneur de Carency, fils aisné de messire Jehan de Bourbon” died 27 Oct 1462 “à Louvres en Parisis, emprès Paris...du flux de ventre” and was buried “à Senlis”[380]. b) JEAN de Bourbon (-Compiègne, Oise ----). Legitimated by the subsequent marriage of his parents. Père Anselme records that he died “à Compiegne sans alliance”[381]. c) JEANNE de Bourbon (-Tours ---, bur Tours). Legitimated by the subsequent marriage of her parents. Père Anselme records her death “à Tours à l’âge de 14 ans” and her burial there, but does not cite the primary source which confirms this information[382]. d) PIERRE de Bourbon ([Feb 1424]-after 11 Aug 1490). Père Anselme records his birth in Feb 1424 without citing the primary source on which this information is based[383]. Considering the marriage date of his younger brother Jacques (see below), this date is surprisingly late. Père Anselme records that the brothers Pierre, Jacques and Philippe finally settled the disputed succession of their father with their paternal aunt Marie de Bourbon and divided their territories by charter dated 11 Sep 1463, under which Philippe received the seigneurie de Carency[384]. Seigneur de Carency. A supporter of Charles "le Téméraire" Duke of Burgundy, he was condemned to death [presumably in his absence, in view of his subsequent capture] but pardoned, although his assets were confiscated 20 Apr 1469 and granted to his brother Jacques[385]. A letter of King Louis XI dated 30 Jun 1475 names “messire Jacques de Saint Pol, le seigneur de Contey, le seigneur de Crisancy, de Myremmont et ce seigneur de Romont” among those involved in a skirmish at Arras, during which “messire Jacques de Saint Pol” was injured in the head, “le seigneur de Contey est prins, le seigneur de Crisancy de Bourbon, ledit Jacques de Saint Pol, Romont, n’est point trouvé encore”[386]. Presumably this passage was intended to indicate that Pierre and Jacques were captured in addition to “le seigneur de Contey”, “Romont” being the only person not found. Kerrebrouck records his death in 1481 without citing the source on which the information is based[387]. This date is incorrect considering the following documents: an order of King Charles VIII dated 6 Jun 1490 records that “le seigneur de Torcy” [Jean d’Estouteville Seigneur de Torcy] had custody of “Pierre de Bourbon chevalier seigneur de Carency...prisonnier de guerre” and permitted the latter to issue a ransom-related guarantee in favour of the former[388], while an order dated 11 Aug 1490 relates to the resulting lawsuit[389]. Père Anselme records no events in Pierre’s life after the 1469 confiscation of his assets[390]. Pierre presumably died soon after 1490 in view of his widow’s second marriage. m as her first husband, PHILIPPA de Plaines, daughter of THOMAS de Plaines Seigneur de Maligny & his wife Jeanne de Gros (-after 20 Mar 1506). Her parentage and two marriages are confirmed by her father’s testament quoted below. She married secondly as his second wife, Jean [IV] de Lannoy Seigneur de Maingoval et d'Andregnies. The testament of Thomas de Plaines seigneur de Maligny records that “Philippe notre fille” married “messire Pierre de Bourbon seigneur de Carency” and after he died “messire Jean de Lannoy seigneur de Mongoval” by whom she had nine children[391]. Père Anselme was unable to decipher the date of this testament, but Courcelles records that Thomas died at Mechelen 20 Mar 1506 (no source cited)[392]. Assuming that date is correct, the birth of nine children by Philippa’s second marriage is chronologically possible if Philippa’s first husband died soon after 1490 and she remarried shortly thereafter. If that is correct, Philippa was presumably born no later than [1465/70] and was therefore considerably younger than her first husband. Pierre had one illegitimate child by an unknown mistress: i) CATHERINE [Jeanne] bâtarde de Bourbon . Père Anselme names “Catherine de Bourbon de Carency” as illegitimate daughter of Pierre de Bourbon, adding that her paternal uncle Jacques de Bourbon Seigneur d’Aubigny arranged her marriage to “Bertrand de Salemard seigneur de Ressis chevalier” and provided her dowry[393]. Kerrebrouck names her Jeanne[394]. m (Moulins 21 May 1469) BERTRAND de Sallemard Seigneur de Ressis en Beaujolais et de la Fay en Forez, son of ---. e) JACQUES de Bourbon (-after 1493). Seigneur de Rochefort Aug 1451. Père Anselme records that the brothers Pierre, Jacques and Philippe finally settled the disputed succession of their father with their paternal aunt Marie de Bourbon and divided their territories by charter dated 11 Sep 1463, under which Jacques received the seigneuries d’Aubigny et des Combles[395]. Seigneur de Carency 1469, after the confiscation of his older brother's assets[396]. m ([1442]) as her second husband, ANTOINETTE de la Tour, widow of JACQUES Aubert Seigneur de Monteil de Gelat, de la Roche d'Agoux et d'Entragues, daughter of AGNE [III] de la Tour Seigneur d'Oliergues & his wife Alix de Vendat (posthumously [Nov 1415/early 1416]-after 7 Sep 1453). Letters of Charles VII King of France dated 22 May 1446, relating to the succession of “Agne de la Tour en son vivant seigneur d’Oliergues”, record that his niece “Anthonie” had married “feu Iacques seigneur de Monteilh” and after his death “Iacques de Bourbon seigneur d’Aubigny” who four years previously had claimed property of “feu second Agne de la Tour son pere” in the name of his wife[397]. A charter dated 7 Sep 1453 records that "Jaques de Bourbon seigneur d’Aubeigny, d’Oliergue et de Rochefort et...Antonie de la Tour sa femme" had received the succession of “feu Agne de la Tour en son vivant chevalier et ayeul paternel de ladite Antonie...seigneur d’Oliergues et de Murat de Cayeres et de Bains en partie...” and of “Agne son pere...[et] dame Alips de Vendac” who was pregnant with Antoinette when her father was killed at Agincourt, Antoinette having married firstly “Jacques Aubert seigneur de Monteil” and her present husband after about six years of widowhood[398]. Jacques & his wife had two children: i) CHARLES de Bourbon (-Château d'Albrest-sur-Allier after 1503, bur Vichy, église des Célestins). Seigneur de Carency. m firstly (contract 15 Jan [1468/69]) DIDIERE de Vergy, daughter and heiress of JEAN [IV] de Vergy Seigneur de Saint-Dizier & his wife Marguerite de La Rocheguyon. Père Anselme records her marriage contract dated 15 Jan 1468 (O.S./N.S.?)[399]. m secondly (contract 8 Nov 1481) ANTOINETTE de Chabannes, daughter of GEOFFROY de Chabannes Seigneur de la Palisse et de Charlus & his wife Charlotte de Prie. Père Anselme records her marriage contract dated 8 Nov 1481[400]. m thirdly (contract 18 Apr 1493) CATHERINE d'Alègre, daughter of BERTRAND de Tourzel dit d'Alègre Baron de Puysagut et de Busset & his wife Isabelle de Lévis. Père Anselme records her marriage contract dated 18 Apr 1493[401]. Charles & his third wife had four children: (a) BERTRAND de Bourbon (-killed in battle Marignano 13 Sep 1515). Seigneur de Carency. (b) JEAN de Bourbon (-Moulins ----). Seigneur de Carency. Père Anselme states that he died “à Moulins sans alliance” but does not cite the source on which he bases this information[402]. (c) LOUISE de Bourbon . Père Anselme states that she died “sans posterité” but does not cite the source on which he bases this information[403]. (d) ISABELLE de Bourbon . Dame de Carency. Père Anselme records her marriage contract dated 22 Feb 1516 (O.S./N.S.?)[404]. m (contract 22 Feb [1516/17]) FRANÇOIS de Pérusse des Cars Seigneur de La Vauguyon, son of GAUTHIER des Cars Seigneur de La Vauguyon & his wife Marie de Montberon (-after 1536). ii) JEAN de Bourbon (-after Jan 1500). Seigneur de Rochefort et d'Arson. A manuscript dated Jan 1500 (presumably N.S.), following the death of Méliador de Lalaing in Aug 1499, records the presence of “Jehan de Bourbon sr de Rochefort...sr...de Gheuselin à cause de sa femme”[405]. m as her second husband, JEANNE de l'Isle, widow of ARNOUL Seigneur de La Hamayde et de Condé, daughter of JACQUES de l'Isle Seigneur de Fresne & his wife Catherine de Neufville. f) PHILIPPE de Bourbon (-after 20 Jul 1492). Père Anselme records that the brothers Pierre, Jacques and Philippe finally settled the disputed succession of their father with their paternal aunt Marie de Bourbon and divided their territories by charter dated 11 Sep 1463, under which Philippe received the seigneurie de Duisant[406]. Père Anselme records an agreement dated 20 Jul 1492 under which Maximilian King of the Romans and his son Philipp Archduke of Austria confirmed rights to “du bois de Barri en Hainaut” in favour of “leur cousin Philippe de Bourbon seigneur de Duisant”[407]. m (after 1461) JEANNE [Catherine?] de Lalaing, daughter of SANSON [Sanche?] de Lalaing Seigneur d'Oprebaix & his wife Catherine [Agnès] de Robersart [Dame d’Ecaillon et de Bruille] ([after 1445?]-[before 1475 or after 1477]). Père Anselme records her parentage (naming her “Catherine”) and marriage, noting that she was living in 1477, without citing the source which confirms this information[408]. The Catalogue des nobles du nom de Lalaing records that “Jeanne de Lalaing demoiselle d’Escaillon et de Bruille”, only daughter and heiress of “Sanche de Lalaing Seigneur d’Oprebaix, chambellan du duc de Bourgogne, prévôt-le-comte à Valenciennes” (“mort vers 1460”) and “Catherine de Robersart” was in 1461 “sous la tutelle du seigneur de Lalaing son oncle” and that her husband was “veuf d’elle en 1475”[409]. No primary source has been identified which reconciles the difference in name and date of death. Philippe & his wife had [two] children: i) ANTOINE de Bourbon . Père Anselme records his parentage, without dates and without citing the source which confirms this information[410]. Seigneur de Duisant. m JEANNE de Habart, daughter of PIERRE de Habart Seigneur de Gournay & his wife Marie de Ranchicourt. Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage without citing the source which confirms this information[411]. Antoine & his wife had two children: (a) PIERRE de Bourbon (-young). Père Anselme records his parentage and notes that he died “en la fleur de son âge”, without citing the primary source which confirms this information[412]. Seigneur de Duisant. (b) PHILIPPE de Bourbon (-1530). Seigneur de Duisant. Père Anselme records his parentage and notes that he “embrassa le parti du connétable de Bourbon”, without citing the primary source which confirms this information[413]. ii) [JEANNE de Bourbon (-1534). Père Anselme records Jeanne as daughter of Antoine de Bourbon Seigneur de Duisant and her marriage contract dated at Moulins 20 Jan 1489 (O.S. or N.S.?)[414]. Kerrebrouck notes that the Cahiers de Saint-Louis records Jeanne as the daughter of Philippe de Bourbon Seigneur de Duisant[415]. No source has been identified which clarifies the position. The chronology suggests that the Cahiers de Saint-Louis may be correct: if we assume Philippe’s birth in [1425/35], he would not have married before [1450/60] at the earliest, which is tight for his granddaughter to have married in 1489. The indication provided above that Jeanne de Lalaing, Jeanne’s supposed mother, married after 1461 suggests that this chronological assessment is robust. Dame de Duisans et de Robersart. m (Moulins 20 Jan 1489) FRANÇOIS Rolin Seigneur de Beauchamp et de Monetay, son of GUILLAUME Rolin Seigneur de Beauchamp et de Monestoy & his wife Marie de Lévis (-Autun ----, bur Valenciennes, église Saint-Jean de Rempart).] g) ELEONORE de Bourbon (-Tours ----, bur Tours). Père Anselme records her death “à Tours” where she was buried, but does not cite the primary source which confirms this information[416]. h) ANDRIETTE de Bourbon (- ----, bur Tours). Père Anselme records her burial “à Tours”, but does not cite the primary source which confirms this information[417]. 5. [ISABELLE de Bourbon . She is named in the Cahiers de Saint-Louis, without citing any primary source on which the information is based[418]. The reliability of the information is unknown. Dominican nun at Poissy. She is not named by Père Anselme[419] or Kerrebrouck[420]. If she existed, either it is likely that she was younger than her sister Anne (who is the only one of their parents’ daughters named in the charter dated 15 Sep 1390 dividing their territories, see above), or she died before 15 Sep 1390.] 6. MARIE de Bourbon ([1384/86]-after 11 Sep 1463). Dame de Bréhencourt. Kerrebrouck says that she married after being kidnapped by her future husband, but does not cite the primary source on which this information is based[421]. She succeeded her mother as Dame de Curvalle en Albigeois, where she was imprisoned by her brother Jacques de Bourbon Comte de la Marche[422]. Père Anselme records that Maire “étant restée veuve de Jean seigneur de Croix chevalier” claimed to be heir to her brother Jean de Bourbon Seigneur de Carency, in opposition to his sons, selling her rights in the succession to Jacques d’Armagnac Comte de la Marche under letters dated 28 Jan 1458 (presumably O.S.) at the château de Cruvalle where she was detained “âgée de 72 à 73 ans”[423]. m JEAN de Bayne Seigneur d'Escroux, son of --- (-before 1458). 7. CHARLOTTE de Bourbon (1388-Nicosia 15 Jan 1422, bur Nicosia, Dominican church). Kerrebrouck states that she was born in 1388 “filleule du roi Charles VI” but does not cite the primary source on which this information is based[424]. A document dated 10 Jan 1409 (presumably old-style) records the arrangements for the voyage of "domine sorori domini Marchie" from Venice to Cyprus[425]. The Chronicle of Amadi records the arrival in Cyprus of "damisella Carlotta de Borbon, moglie de re Zegno" and her marriage 25 Aug, in 1411 from the context, "a Santa Sophia"[426]. The Chronicle of Amadi records the death 15 Jan, without specifying the year, of "la…regina Carlotta" and her burial "al monasterio di Predicatori"[427]. She died of the plague. m (by proxy Melun 2 Aug 1409, in person Nicosia St Sophia 25 Aug 1411) as his second wife, JANUS I King of Cyprus, son of JACQUES I King of Cyprus & his wife Helvis von Braunschweig (Genoa [1374/75]-29 Jun 1432, bur Nicosia, Dominican church). Comte Jean had one illegitimate child by an unknown mistress: 8. JEAN bâtard de la Marche (-after 1435). Père Anselme records that “Jean bâtard de la Marche” was named in the testament of his brother Jacques “mort en 1435” [incorrect date, see above][428]. m[429] (Nicosia, Cyprus) EKATERINA Paros, from Rhodos, daughter of ---.

Père Anselme records her marriage contract dated 9 Nov 1454 at Angers[430]. Mistress (1): PHILIPPA de Gournay, daughter of ---. Père Anselme names “Philipes de Gournay” as the mother of Jean’s illegitimate son Jacques but does not cite the primary source on which this information is based[431]. Mistress (2): GUYONNE Peignée dite de Vieuxville, daughter of ---. Père Anselme names “Guyonne Peignée dite de Vieuxville” as the mother of Jean’s illegitimate son Louis but does not cite the primary source on which this information is based[432]. Jean & his wife had eight children: 1. JEANNE de Bourbon (-1487 or before). The date of her marriage suggests that Jeanne was her parents’ oldest child. The marriage contract between “Louis de Joyeuse fils puisné de...Tanneguy Vicomte de Joyeuse” and “damoiselle Jeanne de Bourbon fille aisnée de...Jean de Bourbon Comte de Vendosme” is dated 6 Feb 1477 (O.S.?)[433]. Dame de Rochefort et Saint-Geniès. Père Anselme records that she and her husband were granted “la seigneurie de la Roche-sur-Yon” by the king by letters dated Dec 1481[434]. The Aug 1581 letters, under Henri III King of France invested Anne de Joyeuse as duc et pair de France, indicate that “Louis de Joyeuse, neveu du roy Louis XI” married “damoiselle Jeanne de Bourbon, de laquelle est issu en droite ligne et troisième degré...Anne de Joyeuse”[435], which supposed descent is inconsistent with Père Anselme’s reconstruction of the Joyeuse family. m (contract 6 Feb [1477/78]) as his first wife, LOUIS de Joyeuse Seigneur de Bouthéon, son of TANNEGUY Vicomte de Joyeuse & his wife Blanche de Tournon (-Saint-Lambert en Rethelois 4 Mar 1498). 2.

A document dated 8 May 1593 records the proxy given by “Claude de Vendôme” to “Guillaume Le Bon” for the marriage contract between “Antoinette de Rambures, sa petite fille” and “Jean de Berghes”[461].

Her parentage and approximate marriage date are confirmed by a document dated 20/26 Sep 1584 which records the “protestation anticipée de Claude de Vendôme”, forced to sign the marriage contract of “Anne de Bourbon, sa sœur”[469]: a document which presumably indicates a strained relationship between the two sisters.

F. VICOMTES de VENDÔME
1. FULCRAD (-after 19 Jul 985). Vicomte de Vendôme. "Gaufridus atque Burchardus comites" confirmed the donation by "collibertam nostram Ermengardam" at the request of "fidelis nostri Fulchardi vicecomitis" by charter dated 19 Jul 985, subscribed by "Gaufredi comitis, Fulconis filii eius"[483].
1. HUBERT (-after 1006). Vicomte de Vendôme. A charter dated to [1006/40] records that "Hubertus Vindocinensium vicecomes" transferred "curtem et ecclesiam Maziaci" to Foulques "Nerra" Comte d´Anjou to obtain the bishopric of Angers for "filio suo Huberto"[484]. The editor of the compilation records that Hubert later donated "alodium meum in pago Vindocinensi...in villa...Buziacus" {Besai} to Marmoutier in expiation for this request[485]. It should be noted that "Adela mater Fulcherii Vincocinensis" also donated property "de Burzeio" to Marmoutier[486], suggesting a close family connection between her and Vicomte Hubert (maybe through his wife). m EMMELINE, daughter of --- (-20 Apr ----). The necrology of Angers Cathedral records the death "XII Kal Mai" of "Hamelina mater domini Huberti episcopi"[487]. Steven Fanning has suggested that Emeline was the daughter of Fulcrad Vicomte de Vendôme, whom her husband succeeded in the vicomté, and brother of Foucher “le Riche” (see below), based on the property donations quoted in the present section and also the apparent transmission of names in the two families[488]. The hypothesis is attractive. However, if there was a family connection, it seems more likely that Vicomte Fulcrad would have been the father of two daughters, Emeline and Hildearde [Adela] who is recorded as the wife of Foucher “le Riche”, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why Foucher did not succeed his father as vicomte de Vendôme. Hubert & his wife had five children: a) GUILLAUME (-28 Oct ----). Vicomte de Vendôme. The necrology of Angers Cathedral records the death "V Kal Nov" of "Guillelmus vicecomes frater domini Huberti episcopi nostri"[489]. b) HUBERT (-1047, after 2 Mar). Bishop of Angers . "Hubertus…Andecavensium episcopus" renounced certain rights in favour of Angers cathedral by charter dated 26 Aug 1025 which names "genitore meo Huberto vicecomite Vindcinensium…matre mea Emma"[490].

The Annales Sancti Albini Andegavensis record the death of "Hubertus episcopus" in 1047[493]. The life and times of Bishop Hubert have been considered by Steven Fanning[494]. c) RAOUL [Payen] . "…Huberti Andecavensis episcopi…Radulfi vicecomitis de Vindocino…" witnessed the charter dated to [1047] under which "miles de Vindocino Hugo…et uxor eius…Adila" donated property to Marmoutier[495]. d) GODEHILDE . The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. e) ADELBERGE (-27 May ----). Her parentage is confirmed by the undated charter under which "Huberti Andegavensium episcopi…et neptis illius Emme atque Radulfi vicecomitis Cenomannensium mariti eius filiorumque eorum" consented to the donation to the monastery of La Charité Sainte-Marie d´Anjou made by "Aremburgis relicta vidua Thetuini Strabonis…et filiam suam Hildegardem"[496]. The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified. Père Anselme names “Etienne seigneur de Montreveau et...Adelburge héritière du Lude” as the parents of the wife of Raoul Vicomte de Beaumont but cites no primary source[497]. The necrology of Angers Cathedral records the death "VI Kal Jun" of "Hadeberga soror Huberti episcopi"[498]. m ETIENNE de Montrevrault {Grand-Montrevault, Cholet, Maine-et-Loire}, son of ---. Etienne & his wife had one child: i) EMME de Montrevrault (-12 Sep 1058, bur Saint-Serge d'Angers).

Dame du Lude. "Radulfus vicecomes cum uxore sua Amelina" sold the church of Luché to Saint-Aubin d'Angers by charter dated to [1057][500]. The necrology of Angers Cathedral records the death "II Id Sep" of "Emma vicecomitissa Cenomanensis neptis Huberti episcopi"[501]. m (before 3 Mar 1048) as his first wife, RAOUL [IV] Vicomte du Maine, son of ROSCELIN Vicomte du Maine & his wife --- (-[11 Jun] [after 1070]).

D. SEIGNEURS de LAVARDIN-sur-LOIR
Two places named Lavardin existed in medieval times in the territory covered by the ancient episcopal diocese of Le Mans, located about 70 kilometres distant from each other: · le Vieux-Lavardin near Mézières, within the pagus Cenomanensis and later the county of Maine; and · Lavardin-sur-Loir near Montoire, 18 kilometres south of Vendôme, originally also within the pagus Cenomanensis and county of Maine, but later transferred to the county of Vendôme. To add to the confusion, the place now known as Lavardin, south-east of Conlie, was originally named Tussé and later evolved into le Nouveau-Lavardin or Lavardin-Tussé. Alexandre de Salies analysed the difficulties in distinguishing these places in the early 20th century[628]. It is probable that all the references to Lavardin between the 10th and 13th centuries relate to Lavardin-sur-Loir, despite the contrary position taken by Salies, as will be explained below.
The earliest reference to Lavardin appears in the Gesta Ambazensium which states that Hugues [“Capet”] Duc des Francs, presumably in the mid- to late-10th century, granted “Lavardinum” to Hugues who is shown below. Salies identifies “Lavardinum” in this source as Vieux-Lavardin near Mézières[629]. However, it is possible that the place in question was Lavardin-sur-Loir. Salies bases his argument on the proximity of Lavardin near Mézières to the other territories, Bazoges and Sainte-Christine both of which were located near Le Mans, which Hugues later acquired on his second marriage. He limits himself to stating, textually, that after the death of his first wife “Hugues trouve tout naturellement sa seconde femme dans son voisinage [i.e. near Lavardin near Mézières], chez les seigneurs de Sainte-Suzanne”. This proposition provides an inadequate basis for his argument. Given the frequency of marriages of the nobility outside their immediate area of operations in medieval France, there is no reason to exclude Hugues having sought his second wife at a distance of only 70 kilometres from the property of his deceased first wife. In addition, it is possible that Hugues´s own origin lay within Maine, which could also explain his choice of a second wife from the area. The Gesta continues by recording the marriage of Hugues´s daughter and heiress by his first marriage to Séhébrand de Mayenne, to whom her father granted “Lavardinum” by way of dowry, and by adding that the couple´s son was Salomon [I] Seigneur de Lavardin. The last-named is identified as seigneur de Lavardin-sur-Loir. Assuming that the Gesta is factually correct, the natural reading of the two passages is that “Lavardinum”, granted to Hugues, was Lavardin-sur-Loir. Salies suggests that the Gesta is incorrect, explaining the apparent contradiction as a simple error because the source´s author was misled by the name Aveline being borne both by the wife of Séhébrand de Mayenne and by the younger daughter of Salomon [I] de Lavardin-sur-Loir[630]. Salies also uses as part of his argument another passage in the Gesta which records that a descendant of the marriage of Hugues´s oldest daughter married “Nevolus de Fracta Valle” and that “heredes Lavardini qui modo sunt exstant” (i.e. at the time of composition of the Gesta, dated to 1155[631]) were descended from the couple. His assumption is that “heredes Lavardini” could not refer to Lavardin-sur-Loir but must relate to Lavardin near Mézières. He concludes that “la Chronique d´Amboise...est tombée...dans une confusion flagrante d´où se dégage une erreur grossière”[632]. However, as noted below, it appears that the marriage as reported in the Gesta is consistent with other sources which indicate the first marriage of Agatha de Lavardin[-sur-Loir] to Nivelon [IV] Seigneur de Fréteval and her supposed second marriage to Bouchard [VII] Comte de Vendôme, whose heirs would have held Lavardin-sur-Loir in [1155].
Chronologically, the next reference to Lavardin is found in the Vita Burchardi Venerabilis Comitis which records "Vendocinum, Lavarzinum et Montem-aureum" among the castles held by Bouchard [IV] “le Vieux” Comte de Vendôme (whose death is recorded in 1007, see Chapter 15.A of the present document)[633]. No document has been found which confirms that Hugues “Capet” transferred the fiefdom of Lavardin to the comtes de Vendôme, but such a transfer is not improbable given its proximity to Vendôme and especially if Hugues wished to favour the local counts after his succession as king. After the death of Salamon [I] Seigneur de Lavardin, the castle passed to his younger daughter and her husband. It is likely that the later holders of the castle were her descendants by an earlier marriage, but as will be seen below the surviving sources are insufficiently detailed to trace their precise relationship to Salamon [I]. In particular, there is extreme difficulty in establishing a successful reconstruction of the possible children and successors of Aymeric “Gaimard” Seigneur de Lavardin, supposed great-grandson of Salamon [I]. In the mid-12th century, possession of the castle passed by marriage to the comtes de Vendôme themselves.

The monks of Marmoutier ceded property to "Salomone de Lavarzino et Adela uxore sua", with the consent of "Marcoardo eorum genero et uxore sua", by charter dated to [1034/67][652]. “Salomonem de Lauarzino” donated his revenue from property of “Herberti presbiteri et Seherii nepotis eius” to Marmoutier by charter dated to [1032/60], which refers to a donation made by “domnus Ernaldus frater noster”[653]. m ADELA, daughter of ---. “Salomon et uxor mea Adela” founded the priory of Saint-Gildéric, Lavardin, with the consent of “filiabus nostris Matilde et Avelina”, by charter dated to [1032/47], subscribed by “Salomonis, Adele uxoris eius, Mathildis eius filie, Aueline eius filie, Rotgerii generi eorum...”[654]. "Salomon et uxor mea Adela" donated the church of Saint-Gilderic on the banks of the river Loir to Marmoutier, with the consent of "filiabus nostris Matilde et Avelina", by charter dated to [1032/60][655]. The monks of Marmoutier ceded property to "Salomone de Lavarzino et Adela uxore sua", with the consent of "Marcoardo eorum genero et uxore sua", by charter dated to [1034/67][656]. Salomon & his wife had [three] children: i) MATHILDE de Lavardin (-before [1062]). “Salomon et uxor mea Adela” founded the priory of Saint-Gildéric, Lavardin, with the consent of “filiabus nostris Matilde et Avelina”, by charter dated to [1032/47], subscribed by “Salomonis, Adele uxoris eius, Mathildis eius filie, Aueline eius filie, Rotgerii generi eorum...”[657]. The name of Roger´s wife is not stated. However, it is likely that she was the older daughter, named Mathilde in the document. "Salomon et uxor mea Adela" donated the church of Saint-Gilderic on the banks of the river Loir to Marmoutier, with the consent of "filiabus nostris Matilde et Avelina", by charter dated to [1032/60][658]. Mathilde presumably predeceased her father, childless, as Lavardin was inherited by the husband of her sister Aveline. [m ROGER, son of ---. same person as...? ROGER, son of ROTHON & his wife ---. "Rogerius filius Rosthonis", mortally wounded "super Ligeris ripam ante castrum novum in comitatu Salomonis de Lavarzino", donated “terram de Autona” to the monks of Saint-Martin and “quartam partem furni unius in castro de Lavarzino et totam sepulturam de Villare” to Lavardin, by charter dated to [1032/60], witnessed by “ipse Salomon et Rainaldus Rogerii filius, Rosthonis scutarius...”[659]. There is no proof that this co-identity is correct, but the name Roger, and his holding an important position in Lavardin castle under Salomon, suggests that it is possible. If it is correct, the name of the donor´s son as witness suggests that Mathilde must have been Roger´s second wife, as Lavardin passed to her younger sister Aveline after their father died not to any descendants of Mathilde. The editor of the edition consulted suggests that the incident during which Roger was mortally wounded is the same as that recounted in the Gesta Ambaziensium, which records that Sulpice d´Amboise had sought refuge from Foulques IV “le Rechin” Comte d´Anjou in the church of Saint-Martin and that "Salomon Lavardini dominus consobrinus eius" rescued him and brought him "cum multis ad Rupes Corbonis"[660]. However, as Comte Foulques IV only succeeded his brother in 1168, this appears to be chronologically incorrect.] ii) AVELINE [Eva] de Lavardin (-after 1070). “Salomon et uxor mea Adela” founded the priory of Saint-Gildéric, Lavardin, with the consent of “filiabus nostris Matilde et Avelina”, by charter dated to [1032/47], subscribed by “Salomonis, Adele uxoris eius, Mathildis eius filie, Aueline eius filie, Rotgerii generi eorum...”[661]. "Salomon et uxor mea Adela" donated the church of Saint-Gilderic on the banks of the river Loir to Marmoutier, with the consent of "filiabus nostris Matilde et Avelina", by charter dated to [1032/60][662]. [The similarity of names suggests that Eva was the same person as Aveline, especially as the two sources just quoted suggest that Salomon [I] had only two daughters. If that is correct, Aymeric d´Alluyes would presumably have been her first husband and Hervé de Baugency her second. "Hugo Dublellus archidiaconus et Odo Dublellus frater eius" donated "ecclesiam Sancti-Beati" to La Trinité de Vendôme, in the presence of "Haimerico genero Symonis de Lavarzino", by charter dated 3 Jun 1040[663]. Another charter, dated to before 1040, recording the same transaction is subscribed by "...Hamericus gener Salomonis de Lavarzino"[664]. "Hugo Dublellus archidiaconus et Odo Dublellus frater eius" signed the charter dated 1046 which records that "Gauterius…Juvenis" forfeited his holdings from "Salomonis de Lavarzino" who granted them to "Haimerico de Aloia" with "filia sua Eva"[665].] A charter dated to [1060/81] records that "Ingebaldus Brito…uxori eius Hildegardi" unjustly appropriated property which had been donated to Marmoutier, and names "filiis…eorum primogenito Wlgrino…Fulcherio et Paganello…Hugo", witnessed by "Herveo de Lavarzino, Avelina uxore eius…"[666].

The monks of Marmoutier ceded property to "Salomone de Lavarzino et Adela uxore sua", with the consent of "Marcoardo eorum genero et uxore sua", by charter dated to [1034/67][669]. As noted above, two sources suggest that Salomon [I] had only two daughters. It is likely therefore that Marcoard was the earlier husband either of Mathilde or Aveline [Eva] who are named above. m MARCOARD, son of ---.] b) ERNALD . “Salomonem de Lauarzino” donated his revenue from property of “Herberti presbiteri et Seherii nepotis eius” to Marmoutier by charter dated to [1032/60], which refers to a donation made by “domnus Ernaldus frater noster”[670].
1. SALAMON [II] de Lavardin (-after 1080). The parentage of Salamon [II] de Lavardin is not known. From a chronological point of view, he could have been the grandson of Salamon [I] by one of the latter´s daughters, most likely Aveline/Eva by her husband Aymeric d´Alluyes, after whom Salamon [II]´s son would have been named, although there is no proof that this speculation is correct[671]. His name certainly indicates a close family relationship to Salamon [I]. "Salomone de Lavarzino..." subscribed the charter dated 1080 which relates to “Christianum de Civitate...terram” sold to Marmoutier[672]. m ---. The name of Salamon´s wife is not known. Salamon [II] & his wife had two children: a) AYMERIC "Gaymard" de Lavardin ([1078/83]-). Seigneur de Lavardin. "Haimmericus cognomina Gaimardus de Lavarzino juvenelis dominus" donated a serf to Marmoutier, with the consent of "sorore mea Beatrix", for the soul of "patris mei Salomonis", by charter dated “Gaufrido comite Vindocinensi ad Ierusalem abeunte” (dated to 1101)[673]. The word “juvenilis” in this document suggests his birth in the range [1078/83], although the document does not indicate that Aymeric had not then reached the age of majority. "Gaimardus dominus Lavarzini" donated property to Marmoutier by charter dated to [1097][674]. An undated charter records the excommunication of the people of Lavardin because of an injustice caused by “dominus Gaimardus et Agnes uxor eius”[675]. “Gaimardus dominus Lauarzini” relinquished rights over vines of Lavardin priory in expiation of his crimes, with the consent of “uxor eius Godehildis”, by charter dated to [1101/24][676]. "Haimericus Gaimardus Lavarzini dominus" donated mills at Montoire to Marmoutier, with the consent of "Beatrix…ipsius Gaimardi soror", by charter dated to [1101/36][677]. "Dominus…castri Lavarzini Aimericus…cognomina Gaimardus et Maria uxor eius" donated property to Marmoutier, in order to receive "filio suo Solomone" who was dying, by charter dated to [1101/36][678]. "Bartholomeus de Vindocino" donated land "in Perticho" to the bishop of Chartres, with the consent of “f sui Engelbaudus præpositus, Vulgrinus, Maria, Guamardus vir eius”, by charter dated to [1116/36][679]. Métais suggests that Aymeric “Gaymard” must have sold at least part of the seigneurie de Lavardin to a comtesse de Vendôme, as one explanation for the background to the legal dispute concerning Lavardin hearings concerning which were held in papal courts from 1211 to 1235, although he does discuss another possible explanation which sounds plausible[680]. Métais states that Aymeric “Gaimard” died “vers 1150”[681]. One source from which it may be possible to draw conclusions about the date of Aymeric´s death is the charter dated to [1147/56] under which "Bartholomeus de Vindocino" confirmed the donation of land "in Perticho" to the bishop of Chartres, on leaving for Jerusalem with the support of “dominum Engelbaldum...Turonensem archiepiscopum et Vulgrinum fratres suos, dominamque Mariam sororem suam necnon et dominum Gosbertum generum suum”[682]. It is assumed that “dominum Gosbertum generum suum” refers to the husband of Marie, presumably a mistranscription for either “Gaymardum” or “Goffredum”. Another indication is provided by the Gesta Ambaziensium which refers to the children of the daughter of Aymeric “Gaimard” as “heredes Lavardini qui modo sunt exstant”[683]. As the children are referred to as “heredes Lavardini”, the implication is that the seigneur de Lavardin was still alive when the source was written (dated to 1155, see below). m [firstly/secondly] AGNES, daughter of ---. An undated charter records the excommunication of the people of Lavardin because of an injustice caused by “dominus Gaimardus et Agnes uxor eius”[684]. The dating of the two charters which name Aymeric´s two earlier wives is not sufficiently precise to assess with any confidence the order of these two marriages. m [firstly/secondly] GODEHILDIS, daughter of ---. “Gaimardus dominus Lauarzini” relinquished rights over vines of Lavardin priory in expiation of his crimes, with the consent of “uxor eius Godehildis”, by charter dated to [1101/24][685]. The dating of the two charters which name Aymeric´s two earlier wives is not sufficiently precise to assess with any confidence the order of these two marriages. m thirdly as her first husband, MARIE, daughter of GEOFFROY [Payen] & his wife --- (-after 1155). "Dominus…castri Lavarzini Aimericus…cognomina Gaimardus et Maria uxor eius" donated property to Marmoutier, in order to receive "filio suo Solomone" who was dying, by charter dated to [1101/36][686]. Her parentage is indicated by the Gesta Ambaziensium which records that "ex Salomone, Guenmardus" married "cum jam senex esset...Mariam sororem Engelbaudi archiepiscopi et Bartholomæi de Vindocino", although the source confuses Salomon [II], father of Aymeric “Gaymard”, with his probable maternal grandfather Salomon [I] Seigneur de Lavardin (the phrase “cum jam senex esset” being used in the text to correct what would otherwise have been the obvious chronological difficulty with this co-identity)[687]. "Bartholomeus de Vindocino" donated land "in Perticho" to the bishop of Chartres, with the consent of “f sui Engelbaudus præpositus, Vulgrinus, Maria, Guamardus vir eius”, by charter dated to [1116/36][688]. Marie married secondly Geoffroy de Lavardin. "Bartholomeus Dives et Maria soror eius uxor Goffredi de Lavarzino" donated a wood at Vendôme to La Madeleine de Châteaudun, with the consent of "Burchardi et Lancelini filiorum suorum", by charter dated to [1130/48], witnessed by "…Vulgrino fratre Bartholomei Divitis…"[689]. "Bartholomeus de Vindocino" donated "terre juxta Planos-Baufredi" to Tiron Sainte-Trinité, with the consent of “Goffredus sororius meus et soror mea Maria et filius eorum Johannes et filie eorum”, by charter dated to [1140][690]. "Bartholomeus de Vindocino" confirmed the donation of land "in Perticho" to the bishop of Chartres, on leaving for Jerusalem with the support of “dominum Engelbaldum...Turonensem archiepiscopum et Vulgrinum fratres suos, dominamque Mariam sororem suam necnon et dominum Gosbertum generum suum”, by charter dated to [1147/56][691]. Robert Bishop of Chartres freed the church of Saint-Gilderic de Chauvigny in favour of Marmoutier by charter dated to after 1155 “ex concessione domine Marie de Lavardino et Johannis filii eius, Vulgrini quoque fratris domini Gaufredi...”[692]. Aymeric & his third wife had [three] children: i) SALOMON de Lavardin (-after 1101). "Dominus…castri Lavarzini Aimericus…cognomina Gaimardus et Maria uxor eius" donated property to Marmoutier, in order to receive "filio suo Solomone" who was dying, by charter dated to [1101/36][693]. The phrase “filio suo” may indicate that Salomon was the child of both “Aimericus...et Maria uxor eius”, which would also account for their joint donation of the property in question. ii) [AGATHA de Lavardin ([1120/25]-[before 1185/1202]). "…Agathe uxore Nivelonis primogeniti…" witnessed the charter dated 14 Jan 1139 under which "dominus Ursio de Merlaio" renounced rights in favour of Notre-Dame de Chartres[694]. "…Uxore primogeniti filii mei…Agatha et Hilgodo Piel" consented to the donation by "Ursio dominus de Fractæ Vallis" by charter dated 1139[695]. Her parentage and first marriage are indicated by the Gesta Ambaziensium which records that "Guenmardus... [et] Mariam sororem Engelbaudi archiepiscopi et Bartholomæi de Vindocino...filiam" married “Nevolus de Fracta Valle” and that “ex qua heredes Lavardini qui modo sunt exstant”[696]. Salies cites a charter dated “1095 mentionnée par Dom Anselme Lemichel” which shows that Beatrix, wife of Urso Seigneur de Fréteval was “sœur d´Aimeric de Lavardin surnommé Gannard”, suggesting therefore that the Gesta must have incorrectly attributed this wife to Nivelon Seigneur de Fréteval and her parentage to Aymeric “Gaimard”[697]. The charter in question has not yet been seen. However, as shown in CENTRAL FRANCE, three charters indicate that Beatrix, wife of Urso de Fréteval, was the daughter of Jérémie de la Tour Seigneur de Lisle. It appears probable, therefore, that the marriage, as reported in the Gesta, is more likely to be correct than the suggestion made by Salies. Another charter also suggests that Agatha must have been the daughter of Aymeric: Robert Bishop of Chartres freed the church of Saint-Gilderic de Chauvigny in favour of Marmoutier by charter dated to after 1155 “ex concessione domine Marie de Lavardino et Johannis filii eius, Vulgrini quoque fratris domini Gaufredi...”[698]. Jean is shown by another charter quoted below to have been the son of Agatha´s mother by her second marriage. The fact that the charter dated to after 1155 does not accord the title “dominus” indicates that there must have been another more senior heir to the seigneurie. Such an heir could only have been a surviving child from Marie´s first marriage, presumably Agatha. Agatha´s supposed second marriage is indicated by the charter dated 1147 under which "Joannes Vindocinensis comes" donated part of the forest of Gâtines to the abbey of La Trinité de Vendôme, with the consent of "duo filii mei Burchardus primogenitus et Lancelinus…apud Lavarziniacum, Agatha uxor Burchardi filii mei"[699]. Dame de Lavardin. The residence of Agatha at Lavardin suggests a connection with the castle of that name. In addition, Agatha´s widower "Burchardus…Johannis Vindocinensis comitis filius" made donations to Lavardin dated [1185/1202] for the soul of his wife “Agatham hujus ville dominam”[700], consistent with her suggested Lavardin origin. This supposed second marriage is consistent with the reference in the Gesta Ambaziensium to “ex qua heredes Lavardini qui modo sunt exstant”, assuming that the latter were descended from Agatha´s second not her first marriage. In addition, [Agatha´s second husband] "Bucardus comes Vindocinensis" names [Agatha´s brother] "Johannes de Lavardino cognatus meus..." in his confirmation of a donation to Gatines dated to [1185][701], the word “cognatus” frequently indicating brother-in-law. It should be noted that Saint-Venant suggests that Agatha was the daughter of an otherwise unrecorded older son of Aymeric “Gaimard”, who died young and transmitted the right to Lavardin to his daughter. He highlights that Jean de Lavardin is never recorded as seigneur de Lavardin after the death of “his father” (whom, it appears, he assumes to be Aymeric), and that if Agatha had been the sister of Richilde (second wife of Jean Comte de Vendôme) the church would have vetoed the arrangement whereby one sister married the father and the other his son[702]. The scenario as proposed is not impossible. However, it is inconsistent with the Gesta Ambazensium as quoted above (Saint-Venant ignores Agatha´s supposed first marriage), nor is it certain that the church would have vetoed the marriages in question (there are other examples of father and son marrying two sisters). In addition, the source quoted below shows that Jean de Lavardin was the son of Marie, widow of Aymeric, by her second marriage not by her first marriage to Aymeric. m [firstly] (before 1139) NIVELON [IV] Seigneur de Fréteval, son of URSO Seigneur de Fréteval & his wife Beatrix de la Tour (-[1146]). [m secondly (before 1147) BOUCHARD [VII] Comte de Vendôme, son of JEAN Comte de Vendôme & his first wife Berthe du Puy-du-Fou ([1125/30]-1202).]] iii) [RICHILDE de Lavardin (-24 Sep ----). Although the sources quoted below indicate that Richilde was the sister of Jean de Lavardin (son of Marie by her second husband Geoffroy de Lavardin), and that Richilde was the daughter of Marie, no primary source has been found which confirms that Richilde and Jean shared the same father. It appears more likely that Richilde was the full sister of Agatha de Lavardin (and therefore probably the daughter of Aymeric "Gaimard" Seigneur de Lavardin) and that their two marriages, respectively with the father and son Jean Comte de Vendôme and Bouchard [VII] Comte de Vendôme, were arranged because they were full sisters and each enjoyed rights to Lavardin. Clearly the Vendôme family was anxious to secure the Lavardin inheritance by marriage with the heiress. It seems more probable that Agatha´s marriage with the Vendôme heir was arranged first, and that Richilde´s marriage provided "back-up" for Jean Comte de Vendôme in case the Bouchard/Agatha marriage proved childless (and his other children died without heirs) to increase the chances that Lavardin would still remain within his family (or more importantly that it would not be lost to another family). "Richilda comitissa Vindocinensis" donated property "de Villeriis" to the abbey of La Trinité de Vendôme, with the consent of "Goffridi filii mei", by charter dated to [1147][703]. Her family origin is indicated by the charter dated to before 1185, under which "Wlgrinus miles monacus noster" [son of Ingelbald Briton] donated the mill of "Beto" to La Trinité de Vendôme for the soul of "Petro filio suo quem monacum fecimus", confirmed by "Maria uxor eius et quinque filii eius Goffridus, Herveus, Ingelbaldus, Petrus, Mauricius, et Agnes et Domitilla filie ipsius" and in the presence of "Johannes comes Vindocinensis et Richildis uxor eius, neptis Wlgrini…"[704]. This family origin is confirmed by the charter under which [her son] Barthélemy Archbishop of Tours confirmed donations made to the abbey of Saint-Pierre de Preuilly by "bonæ memoriæ Engelbaudo avunculo et predecessore nostro"[705], the latter being identified as the maternal uncle of Richilde de Lavardin. "Johannes de Lavarzino…et Richeldis comitissa soror eius" donated property to La Trinité de Vendôme by charter dated to before 1188[706]. The necrology of Vendôme La Trinité records the death "VIII Kal Oct" of "Richilda comitissa fundatrix infirmarii"[707]. m as his second wife, JEAN Comte de Vendôme, son of GEOFFROY "Grisegonelle" Comte de Vendôme & his wife Mathilde de Châteaudun (-La Charité-sur-Loire [1185]).] b) BEATRIX de Lavardin . "Haimmericus cognomina Gaimardus de Lavarzino juvenelis dominus" donated a serf to Marmoutier, with the consent of "sorore mea Beatrix", for the soul of "patris mei Salomonis", by charter dated “Gaufrido comite Vindocinensi ad Ierusalem abeunte” (dated to 1101)[708]. "Haimericus Gaimardus Lavarzini dominus" donated mills at Montoire to Marmoutier, with the consent of "Beatrix…ipsius Gaimardi soror...Galterio bastardo fratre ipsius", by charter dated to [1101/36][709]. Salomon [II] had one illegitimate child by an unknown mistress: c) GAUTHIER . "Haimericus Gaimardus Lavarzini dominus" donated mills at Montoire to Marmoutier, with the consent of "Beatrix…ipsius Gaimardi soror...Galterio bastardo fratre ipsius", by charter dated to [1101/36][710].
Another Lavardin family whose relationship to the seigneurial family, if any, has not been established as explained further below.
1. GEOFFROY [de Lavardin] (-after [1140]). "Bartholomeus de Vindocino" donated "terre juxta Planos-Baufredi" to Tiron Sainte-Trinité, with the consent of “Goffredus sororius meus et soror mea Maria et filius eorum Johannes et filie eorum”, by charter dated to [1140][711]. Geoffroy de Lavardin has not been adequately identified. It is possible that he was Geoffroy de Vendôme for whose use of the Lavardin name in the 1130s no suitable explanation has yet been found. The use of the name “Lavardin” by the second husband of Marie is difficult to explain. In normal circumstamces, the name would have come from his paternal or maternal ancestry. However, no reference has yet been found to any younger branches of the Lavardin family which is shown above. In addition, Geoffroy was not a name which had been used earlier in that family. The other possibility is that he adopted the name from his wife, who was of course the widow of the earlier seigneur de Lavardin. However, her right to the name depended on her first husband, so transmitting it to a second husband would have been unusual. A third possibility is that Geoffroy was resident at the castle of Lavardin, from which he had adopted his name without being related to the seigneurial family. m as her second husband, MARIE, widow of AYMERIC "Gaymard" Seigneur de Lavardin, daughter of GEOFFROY [Payen] & his wife --- (-after 1155). "Bartholomeus Dives et Maria soror eius uxor Goffredi de Lavarzino" donated a wood at Vendôme to La Madeleine de Châteaudun, with the consent of "Burchardi et Lancelini filiorum suorum", by charter dated to [1130/48], witnessed by "…Vulgrino fratre Bartholomei Divitis…"[712]. "Bartholomeus de Vindocino" donated "terre juxta Planos-Baufredi" to Tiron Sainte-Trinité, with the consent of “Goffredus sororius meus et soror mea Maria et filius eorum Johannes et filie eorum”, by charter dated to [1140][713]. "Bartholomeus de Vindocino" confirmed the donation of land "in Perticho" to the bishop of Chartres, on leaving for Jerusalem with the support of “dominum Engelbaldum...Turonensem archiepiscopum et Vulgrinum fratres suos, dominamque Mariam sororem suam necnon et dominum Gosbertum generum suum”, by charter dated to [1147/56][714]. Robert Bishop of Chartres freed the church of Saint-Gilderic de Chauvigny in favour of Marmoutier by charter dated to after 1155 “ex concessione domine Marie de Lavardino et Johannis filii eius, Vulgrini quoque fratris domini Gaufredi...”[715]. Geoffroy & his wife had [four or more] children: a) JEAN de Lavardin (-after [1185]). "Bartholomeus de Vindocino" donated "terre juxta Planos-Baufredi" to Tiron Sainte-Trinité, with the consent of “Goffredus sororius meus et soror mea Maria et filius eorum Johannes et filie eorum”, by charter dated to [1140][716]. Robert Bishop of Chartres freed the church of Saint-Gilderic de Chauvigny in favour of Marmoutier by charter dated to after 1155 “ex concessione domine Marie de Lavardino et Johannis filii eius, Vulgrini quoque fratris domini Gaufredi...”[717]. "Hugo Castriduni vicecomes" sold "terram nemoris Vindocinensis...inter Romilliacum et Calviniacum" to Marmoutier, with the consent of “Johannes de Lavardin, Gaufridus de Lavardin, Hugo de Sancto Agilo, Dometa uxor eius et filius ipsius, Gaufredus Vogrin, Ursio de Fracta Valle et Nevelo filius eius et eorum uxores et liberi...eorum...Johanna vicecomitissa uxor mea et Gaufredus filius noster”, by charter dated to [1175/84][718]. "Bucardus comes Vindocinensis" confirmed the donation to Gatines made by "Johannes de Lavardino cognatus meus, concessione fratrum et sororum ac nepotum suorum" of “vineam suam de Valle, quam habuit de emptione Marie matris sue” by charter dated to [1185][719]. "Johannes de Lavarzino…et Richeldis comitissa soror eius" donated property to La Trinité de Vendôme by charter dated to before 1188[720]. same person as...? JEAN de Lavardin (-after 1199). “...Johannes de Lavardino...” witnessed the charter dated 1196 under which "Philippus de Monteaureo et Lucia soror eius" donated revenue "super terram Joannis de Parrineio" to La Trinité de Vendôme, for the soul of "Milesendis matris sue" with the consent of "Hugonis de Chavernai mariti eius"[721]. "Johannes de Lavardino..." witnessed the charter dated 1199 under which “Gaufridus vicecomes Castriduni” confirmed donations made to the Templars by “Villelmus de Sancto-Martino et Archenbaudus de Caramo”[722]. b) daughters . The charter dated to [1140], under which "Bartholomeus de Vindocino" donated "terre juxta Planos-Baufredi" to Tiron Sainte-Trinité with the consent of “Goffredus sororius meus et soror mea Maria et filius eorum Johannes et filie eorum”[723], shows that Geoffroy and Marie had daughters at that date. c) [GEOFFROY de Lavardin (-after [1175/84]). "Hugo Castriduni vicecomes" sold "terram nemoris Vindocinensis...inter Romilliacum et Calviniacum" to Marmoutier, with the consent of “Johannes de Lavardin, Gaufridus de Lavardin, Hugo de Sancto Agilo, Dometa uxor eius et filius ipsius, Gaufredus Vogrin, Ursio de Fracta Valle et Nevelo filius eius et eorum uxores et liberi...eorum...Johanna vicecomitissa uxor mea et Gaufredus filius noster”, by charter dated to [1175/84][724]. Geoffroy de Lavardin´s name following that of Jean in this charter could indicate that he was Jean´s younger brother. If that is correct, he would presumably have been born after [1140], as he is not named in the charter dated to that date under which "Bartholomeus de Vindocino" donated "terre juxta Planos-Baufredi" to Tiron Sainte-Trinité with the consent of “Goffredus sororius meus et soror mea Maria et filius eorum Johannes et filie eorum”[725]. It is also possible that Geoffroy was resident at the castle of Lavardin, from which he had adopted his name without being related to the seigneurial family.]
E. SEIGNEURS de LISLE [en VENDÔMOIS], SEIGNEURS de la TOUR
1. ROGER de la Tour . m as her first husband, ADELA, daughter of FOUCHER "le Riche" & his wife Hildearde/Adela ---. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated to [1050/66] which records that "Fulcherius de Turre, Hildegardis…ex filia nepos" claimed the mill at La Chappe from the monks of Marmoutier, claiming that "pater suus…Rotgerius…mater…ipsius Adela" previously held it[726]. She married secondly Hugues de Mondoubleau. "Adela, Fulcherii nata, Hugonis femina" donated "in villa…Marcelli terram", with the consent of "meo filio Fulcherio necnon sorore sua Agnete" to La Trinité de Vendôme by charter dated to before 1040[727].
