Chapter 1.    9th CENTURY DUKE of BURGUNDY

 

 

A single reference to a duke of Burgundy has been identified in the late 9th century.  However, it appears anachronistic and should be treated with caution. 

 

 

1.         [HUGUESm ---.  The name of Hugues´s wife is not known.  Hugues & his wife had two children:] 

a)         [HUGUES .  The Gestis Consulum Andegavensium names "Hugo Dux Burgundiæ, filius alterius Hugonis" was "ex parte matris suæ [Fulco] consanguineus"[1].  [Duke of Burgundy.]  This is the only reference so far identified to a duke of Burgundy in the late 9th century and should presumably therefore be treated with caution.] 

b)         [other child: see CAROLINGIAN NOBILITY.]

RICHARD, son of comte BUVINUS [Bouvin] & his wife --- d'Arles (-[31 Aug or 1 or 29 Sep] 921, bur Abbaye de Sainte-Colombe de Sens, Yonne)The Annales Bertiniani name "Richardus frater Bosonis" when recording that, after the capture of Vienne by the forces of King Carloman, he took “uxorem Bosonis et filiam eius” back to “comitatum suum Augustudensem” in 882[2].  Gingins-la-Sarra suggests that Richard was the uterine brother of King Boson, their mother having married secondly Theoderic [VI] “le Trésorier” Comte d´Autun (see the document CAROLINGIAN NOBILITY)[3].  He refers to the testament dated to [Jan 876] of Ekkehard Comte d´Autun, possibly the brother of Theoderic [VI], which names "…Theoderico et Richardo filio eius…" among the beneficiaries[4].  He identifies “Richardo” with the future duke of Burgundy, although there seems to be no basis for assuming that this co-identity is correct other than the name.  The name Richard is well-established in the Bosonid family, which does not appear to be the case in the Theoderic/Nibelung family to which Theoderic [VI] belonged, where it was probably recently introduced through Theoderic´s wife (Settipani suggests that she was the sister of King Boson´s father[5]).  In addition, Richard Duke of Burgundy named one of his sons Boson, although this is not conclusive for establishing his paternity as the name also appears in Duke Richard´s maternal line.  On the other hand, none of the typical names of the Theoderic/Nibelung family appear among the descendants of Duke Richard.  In any case, the chronology does not appear favourable.  Richard is named as count in 876 (see below).  If he had been King Boson´s uterine brother, he could not have been more than ten years old at the time, which is incompatible with his bearing the comital title.  Gingins-la-Sarra´s hypothesis cannot be dismissed entirely.  However, it is a convoluted interpretation of the otherwise simple statement in the Annales Bertiniani that Richard was King Boson´s brother.  Unless further information comes to light in other sources, it is suggested that the simple explanation is the best.  An agreement dated Feb 876 of Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks names "Bosonis…ducis et sacri palatii archiministri atque imperiali missi, Richardi comitis…" as present in Italy with the king, although it fails to specify the family relationship between them[6].  "Richardus comes" is named as present in a charter dated 4 Sep 876 under which Emperor Charles II "le Chauve" granted property "villam…Piredus in pago Senonico"[7]He presumably assumed the role of his brother Boson as missus in Italy in early 877, when the latter was recalled by Emperor Charles II.  "Richardi comitis, Teutbaldi comitis, Bernardi comitis" subscribed the charter dated 25 Jul 879 under which "Boso…et coniunx mea Hirmingardi proles imperiales" donated property "in pago Laticense…in villa Lantinus" to the abbey of Montiérender[8]Comte d’Autun.  At first sight, this might appear to provide the missing connection with Theoderic [VI], who was also Comte d´Autun.  However, it is recorded that King Boson disputed Theoderic´s right to the county, in which case it is unlikely that he would have awarded it to Theoderic´s son.  Richard established himself in the future duchy of Burgundy, north of his brother's realm, with his capital at Autun.  Carlomannus…Rex” restored property “villam Taniacum” to the church of Autun, at the request of “Richardi Comiti Augustodensis”, by charter dated 1 Dec 880, the text ending with “Theodoricus Comes ambasciavit[9]He was invested as lay abbot of Saint-Symphorien by Carloman King of the East Franks in 880.  He led the Carolingian army which besieged his brother King Boson at Vienne in 882.  The counties in Burgundy, except Mâcon, submitted to him.  He succeeded his wife's uncle Hugues l'Abbé as Comte d'Auxerre in 886.  He was later known as RICHARD "le Justicier" Duke of Burgundy, although it is unlikely that he was considered at the time as founder of a unified duchy of Burgundy as such, rather as the suzerain of various counties who held the title "duke".  "Richardo marchione…eius filiis Rodulpho, Hugone atque Bosone…comitibus" were present at the restitution of property at "Tiliniaco et Canavis" by charter dated 5 Sep 916 (“anno XIX” = reign of Charles III “le Simple” King of the West Franks)[10]Guillaume de Jumièges records that Rollo besieged “Carnotenam urbem” [Chartres] but was forced to withdraw by "Richardus Burgundionum dux...cum...Antelmus episcopus"[11].  “Ricardus comes et dux Burgondiæ”, on the advice of “Manasse ceterorumque fidelium nostrorum”, restored “de Liciaco [Lecey] villa...in pago Lingonico”, previously donated by “Amadeus comes in suo nomine et uxoris suæ, necnon et filii eius Anscharii”, to Langres by charter dated 18 May 918, subscribed by “uxoris nostræ atque filiorum fideliumque nostrorum...Adoelehit...Ugo...Rodulfus...Boso...Aldo...Vuilingus...Vualterius...Vuitbodus...Odolbertus...Gotafredus[12]A charter dated 5 Sep 918 records the restitution of “res Sancti Nazarii sitas in villa...Canavas ad Tiliniacum” to the church of Autun, in the presence of “Domno Richardo...Marchione...et...illius filiis Rodulfo atque Bozone[13]The death of "Richardus marchio de Burgundia" is recorded by Flodoard in 921[14]The Annales S. Benigni Divionensis record the death "II Kal Sep 921" of "Ricardus comes"[15].  The Historia Francorum Senonensis records the death "Kal Sep" of "Richardus dux Burgundiæ", and his burial "in basilica sanctæ Columbæ"[16].  The sacrementaire of Sens cathedral records the death "III Kal Oct" of "Ricardi comitis"[17].  The necrology of Auxerre cathedral records the death 1 Sep of "Richardus comes"[18]

m ([887/88]) ADELAIS, daughter of CONRAD Marquis of Transjurania [Welf] & his wife Waldrada --- (-after 14 Jul 929).  "Adeleth…comitissa" donated property "villam Poligniacum in comitatu Warasco" to Autun naming "filii mei Hugonis comitis" by charter dated 24 Apr 922, subscribed by "Hugo comes, Rodulphus comes, Boso comes" and witnessed by "Wallonis comitis…"[19]Her origin is deduced by her being named as sister of "Rodulfi regis" (Rudolf I King of Burgundy) in the latter's 10 Jun 888 charter[20], as well as in her own 14 Jan 929 grant to Cluny, the 929 charter also naming "Richardi principis domni mei"[21].  “Ricardus comes et dux Burgondiæ” restored “de Liciaco [Lecey] villa...in pago Lingonico” to Langres by charter dated 18 May 918, subscribed by “uxoris nostræ atque filiorum fideliumque nostrorum...Adoelehit...Ugo...Rodulfus...Boso...[22].  After her husband died, she retired to a monastery.  She transferred the monastery of Roman-Moutier to the monastery of Cluny by charter dated 14 Jul 929[23]

[Mistress (1): ---.  As mentioned below, it is likely that Duke Richard's son Gebuin was illegitimate.  If this is correct, the name of his mistress is not known.] 

Duke Richard & his wife had [four] children:

1.         RODOLPHE [Raoul] (-Auxerre, Yonne 15/16 Jan 936, bur église de l'abbaye de Sainte-Colombe de Sens).  Flodoard names "Rodulfo filio Richardi"[24]"Richardo marchione…eius filiis Rodulpho, Hugone atque Bosone…comitibus" were present at the restitution of property at "Tiliniaco et Canavis" by charter dated 5 Sep 916 (“anno XIX” = reign of Charles III “le Simple” King of the West Franks)[25]Ricardus comes et dux Burgondiæ” restored “de Liciaco [Lecey] villa...in pago Lingonico” to Langres by charter dated 18 May 918, subscribed by “uxoris nostræ atque filiorum fideliumque nostrorum...Adoelehit...Ugo...Rodulfus...Boso...[26]: the reason for Rodolphe/Raoul to follow Hugues in this document is unclear, when all other sources seem to indicate that Rodolphe/Raoul was the oldest brother.  A charter dated 5 Sep 918 records the restitution of “res Sancti Nazarii sitas in villa...Canavas ad Tiliniacum” to the church of Autun, in the presence of “Domno Richardo...Marchione...et...illius filiis Rodulfo atque Bozone[27]He is named "Rodulfo rex filio meo" in the grant of "Adeleydis comitissa soror Rodulfi" to Cluny dated 14 Jun 929[28]Rodulfus Glaber names "Rodulfus, Richardi ducis Burgundiæ filius"[29]He succeeded his father in 921 as RAOUL Duke of Burgundy.  He was elected as RAOUL King of France in 923 to succeed his father-in-law, consecrated by Gauthier Archbishop of Sens at the abbey of Saint-Médard de Soissons.  Flodoard records in 923 that, after King Charles III had retreated "trans Mosam", “Rodulfum...regem...[filius Richardi]” was elected and consecrated “apud urbem Suessonicam[30].  Flodoard records in 936 (as the second report in that year) the death of “rex Rodulfus” and his burial “Senonis apud sanctam Columbam[31]The Historia Francorum Senonensis records the death "XVIII Kal Feb" of "Rodulfo rege", specifying his burial "in basilica aanctæ Columbæ"[32].  The necrology of Auxerre cathedral records the death 14 Jan of "Rodulphus rex"[33]m ([911/19]) EMMA, daughter of ROBERT "le Fort" Marquis en Neustrie, Comte de Paris [later Robert I King of France] & his [first/second wife ---] (-2 Nov 934).  Flodoard names "Emma regis Rotberti filia" when recording that she obliged Seulf Archbishop of Reims to consecrate her queen at Reims in 923 in the absence of her husband fighting[34]Rodulfus Glaber names "Emmam…sororem…magni Hugonis" as wife of "Rodulfus, Richardi ducis Burgundiæ filius", suggesting that she was instrumental in persuading her brother to support her husband's accession as king[35]"Emme nostri imperii consortis" and "Emma coniux mea" is named in the charters of "Rodolfus Francorum rex" dated 21 Jun 931 and 1 Jul 931[36].  Flodoard records the death of "Emma regina" at the end of his passage dated 934[37].  The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés records the death "IV Non Nov" of "domna Emma regina"[38]King Raoul & his wife had two children:

a)         LOUIS (-before 14 Jun 929).  The Chronicle of St Bénigne de Dijon records that "Rodulfo rege…filius eius Ludovicus…ex Emma regina" died before his father, the latter dying "absque liberis"[39].  He must have died before his paternal grandmother's 929 grant to Cluny as he is not named among the witnesses, unlike his presumed sister. 

b)         [JUDITH (-([14 Jun 929/935]).  "Juditte filie Rodulfe regis" witnessed the grant of "Adeleydis comitissa soror Rodulfi" to Cluny dated 14 Jun 929[40].  Settipani assumes that this indicates that she was the daughter of Raoul King of France, but this is not beyond doubt.  The charter in fact refers to three individuals named "Rodulfi regis", the donor's brother Rudolf I King of Burgundy, her nephew Rudolf II King of Burgundy, and her son.  The last named is referred to in the witness list, in a later position than the entry naming Judith, as "augusti Rodulfi regis", which may suggest that he was a different "Rodulfi regis" from the one who was Judith's father.  If Judith had been the daughter of Rudolf I King of Burgundy, it is most likely that she would have been named "soror Rodulfe regis" in the subscription, referring to her living brother.  The most likely possibility is that she was the daughter of Rudolf II King of Burgundy, presumably his oldest child and the only one who at the date of the charter was considered old enough to have witnessed the document.  If it is correct that Judith was the daughter of Raoul King of France, she must have predeceased her father if the Chronicle of St Bénigne de Dijon is right when it says that he died "absque liberis"[41].] 

2.         [ERMENGARDE (-after 9 Dec 943).  Ermengarde, wife of Giselbert, has been accepted as the daughter of Duke Richard since Du Chesne in 1625[42].  More recently this affiliation has been challenged, in particular because she is not mentioned in her supposed mother's will[43].  In addition, if it is correct that Giselbert's mother was the daughter of King Boson (see the document BURGUNDIAN NOBILITY), she would have been her husband's first cousin, which seems unlikely to have been accepted by the church.  "Ermengars" sold land in Colonicas (pago Matisconense), with her husband "Gillevertus", by charter dated May 926[44].  Gislebertus...comes Heduensis atque aliarum patriarum”, at the request of “Roberti Divionensis”, granted property to “suo fidele Guitbaldus...” by charter dated “III Id Dec Indictione XIV anno VII regnante Ludovico rege” [dated to 942 by Duchesne, probably 943, follow her husband’s hyperlink for the explanation], subscribed by “Gisleberti comitis, Ermengardi quæ consensit, Adaleidis filie eorum similiter quæ consensit...[45]m (before May 926) GISELBERT, son of MANASSES Comte de Vergy & his wife --- (-956).  He became GISELBERT Duke of Burgundy, after Raoul and Hugues "le Noir" ceded him their rights to Burgundy in [936].  After his death, Lothaire King of France took direct control of his part of Burgundy[46].] 

3.         HUGUES "le Noir" (-17 Dec 952, bur Besançon).  Flodoard names "Hugo filius Richardi"[47].  The recent study made by Marcellin Babey analyses the known surviving primary sources in which Hugues “le Noir” was named, distinguishes him from numerous other contemporaries named Hugues, and provides important background material concerning Burgundy[48].  Comte in the area outre-Saône, the future Franche-Comté, before 914.  "Richardo marchione…eius filiis Rodulpho, Hugone atque Bosone…comitibus" were present at the restitution of property at "Tiliniaco et Canavis" by charter dated 5 Sep 916 (“anno XIX” = reign of Charles III “le Simple” King of the West Franks)[49]Ricardus comes et dux Burgondiæ” restored “de Liciaco [Lecey] villa...in pago Lingonico” to Langres by charter dated 18 May 918, subscribed by “uxoris nostræ atque filiorum fideliumque nostrorum...Adoelehit...Ugo...Rodulfus...Boso...[50].  A charter dated 18 Jan 926 records that “femina Bertagia” claimed “res...sitas in pago Equestrico, et in curte Avenaco, de res que de parte jugale suo...Alteo...et filio suo...Alteo” from “Leutardus”, that Rodolphe III King of Burgundy ordered “Turumbertum comitem et Anselmum comitem de pago Equestrico, atque Ugonem comte palatio” to enquire into the matter, that “Leutardus et Teodoricus vel ipsa femina” attended a hearing at which “ipsa...femina” claimed that "Ugo comes filius Ricardi et germanus suus Giboinus" had granted the property to her husband, calling named witnesses[51].  He is named "Huguone aliis quoque filiis meis" in the grant by "Adeleydis comitissa soror Rodulfi" to Cluny dated 14 Jun 929, listed before Boson[52].  Comte de Mâcon from 931.  "Hugonis frater meus" is named by "Rodulfus Francorum rex" in the latter's 1 Jul 931 charter[53]"Hugo...comes et marchio" donated property "in comitatu Belnensi...in uilla...Nolliacus et...in uilla Crisentiaco", for the souls of “genitoris nostri Richardi et Adheleidis”, in the presence of “Gilbertus comes, Albericus comes et filius eius Leotaldus et Adso noster fidelis”, by charter dated 1 Sep 936, subscribed by “...Roberti uicecomitis...[54]After the death of his brother King Raoul in 936, he and Hugues "le Blanc/le Grand" Capet, and his possible brother-in-law Giselbert, divided Burgundy between them.  He was seen by Hugues "le Grand" Capet as a potentially too powerful candidate for the French throne after his brother's death in 936, prompting Hugues to recall the future King Louis IV "d'Outremer" from England, whom Hugues "le Noir" refused to recognise as king until 938[55].  He is named "nostri principes…alter Hugo dux scilicet Burgundionum" in a charter of "Ludovicus rex" dated 1 Jul 946[56].  The Chronicon Floriacensi records the death in 952 of "Ugo Dux Burgundionum et Alanus Brittonum"[57]

4.         BOSON (-Sep 935, bur Reims, église de l'abbaye de Saint-Rémi).  Flodoard names "Boso filius Richardi"[58]"Richardo marchione…eius filiis Rodulpho, Hugone atque Bosone…comitibus" were present at the restitution of property at "Tiliniaco et Canavis" by charter dated 5 Sep 916 (“anno XIX” = reign of Charles III “le Simple” King of the West Franks)[59]Ricardus comes et dux Burgondiæ” restored “de Liciaco [Lecey] villa...in pago Lingonico” to Langres by charter dated 18 May 918, subscribed by “uxoris nostræ atque filiorum fideliumque nostrorum...Adoelehit...Ugo...Rodulfus...Boso...[60]A charter dated 5 Sep 918 records the restitution of “res Sancti Nazarii sitas in villa...Canavas ad Tiliniacum” to the church of Autun, in the presence of “Domno Richardo...Marchione...et...illius filiis Rodulfo atque Bozone[61]He is named "Bosone aliis quoque filiis meis" in the grant of "Adeleydis comitissa soror Rodulfi" to Cluny dated 14 Jun 929, listed after Hugues[62].  Comte in Upper Burgundy, lay abbot of Moyenmoutiers.  He was killed at the siege of Saint-Quentin, Aisne against Hugues "le Grand" Capet[63]m ([928], separated) as her first husband, BERTA d'Arles, daughter of BOSO Comte d'Arles, later Marchese of Tuscany, & his wife Willa --- (-after 18 Aug 965).  "Bertam, Willam, Richildam et Gislam" are named (in order) as the four daughters of Boso and Willa by Liutprand[64], who in a later passage names Berta as "Bosonis Arelatensis comitis viduæ" and mentions her marriage soon after the death of her first husband to Raymond, by virtue of which she was deemed guilty of incest[65].  She married secondly ([936]) Raymond Comte de Rouergue Marquis de Septimanie, who became Duke of Aquitaine in 936. 

Duke Richard had one child [probably illegitimate] by [Mistress (1)]: 

5.          GEBUIN .  A charter dated 18 Jan 926 records that “femina Bertagia” claimed “res...sitas in pago Equestrico, et in curte Avenaco, de res que de parte jugale suo...Alteo...et filio suo...Alteo” from “Leutardus”, that Rodolphe III King of Burgundy ordered “Turumbertum comitem et Anselmum comitem de pago Equestrico, atque Ugonem comte palatio” to enquire into the matter, that “Leutardus et Teodoricus vel ipsa femina” attended a hearing at which “ipsa...femina” claimed that "Ugo comes filius Ricardi et germanus suus Giboinus" had granted the property to her husband, calling named witnesses[66].  It is likely that he was illegitimate as he is mentioned in none of the sources which list the other brothers of Hugues.

B.      DUKE of BURGUNDY 936-956

 

 

GISELBERT, son of MANASSES Comte [de Dijon] & his wife Ermengarde --- (-Paris after Easter 956).  The parentage of Giselbert is confirmed by a combination of documents:  "Hirmingardis comitissa…Walonis filii eius, Gilleberti filii eius alterius" subscribed the testament of "Heriveus…Æduorum episcopus" dated 1 Nov 919 which names "genitricis nostræ domnæ Hirmingardis venerabilis comitissæ et fratrum nostrorum…domnus Walo pius Præsul et noster avunculus"[67]; the Vita Sanctii Viventii Presbyteri names "Manasses…filius Gislebertus eiusdem Burgundiæ Dux"[68]; "Warulfus…virum nobilem…filio equivoco eius Warulfo" petitioned "Ermengardis comitisse…seu filii eius Gisleberti comitis" for some donated property of Saint-Marcel-lès-Chalon by charter dated Jun 924[69].  Flodoard records that in 924 "Raginardus" captured "castellum…Mons sancti Iohannis" supported by "nepotum suorum, Walonis et Gisleberti", but that "Rodulfi rex" recaptured the castle later in the same year[70].  "Gisleberto comiti" is named in a charter of "Vuarulfo" dated 5 Jun 926[71]"Hugo...comes et marchio" donated property "in comitatu Belnensi...in uilla...Nolliacus et...in uilla Crisentiaco", for the souls of “genitoris nostri Richardi et Adheleidis”, in the presence of “Gilbertus comes, Albericus comes et filius eius Leotaldus et Adso noster fidelis”, by charter dated 1 Sep 936, subscribed by “...Roberti uicecomitis...[72]He became GISELBERT Duke of Burgundy, after his possible brothers-in-law Raoul and Hugues "le Noir" ceded him their rights to Burgundy in [936].  Comte d’Autun: Gislebertus...comes Heduensis atque aliarum patriarum”, at the request of “Roberti Divionensis”, granted property to “suo fidele Guitbaldus...” by charter dated “III Id Dec Indictione XIV anno VII regnante Ludovico rege” [dated to 942 by Duchesne], subscribed by “Gisleberti comitis, Ermengardi quæ consensit, Adaleidis filie eorum similiter quæ consensit, Rodberti...Hengeltrudis, Rodulfi filii prædicti Roberti...[73].  This charter is dated to 11 Dec 934 by the editor of the Dijon Saint-Etienne cartulary[74].  The difficulty appears to lie in calculating the regnal years of King Louis IV: although this charter is not listed by Prou, he shows other charters dated “anno VI” and “anno VIII” which he attributes to 942-944 (although the Induction years are inconsistent)[75], suggesting that “943” is the more likely date.  The Annales Nivernenses record the death "apud Parisius post pascha 956" of "Gislebertus comes"[76].  The Chronico Senonensi Sanctæ Columbæ records that "Gisleberto Principe Burgundionum" died "feria tertia post Pascha"[77]The Chronicon of Odorannus records the death in 956 of “Gislebertus comes Burgundionem”, adding that “honorem eius cum filia...Leudegarde, ex qua postea a Radulpho Divionensi pipicus factus est” was received by “Otho frater Hugonis ducis[78].  After Giselbert died, Lothaire King of the West Franks asserted control over the duchy of Burgundy[79]

m (before May 926) ERMENGARDE, daughter of --- (-after 9 Dec 943).  "Ermengars" sold land in Colonicas (pago Matisconense), with her husband "Gillevertus", by charter dated May 926[80].  According to Du Chesne in 1625[81], she was Ermengarde, daughter of Richard "le Justicier" Duke of Burgundy.  More recently this affiliation has been challenged, in particular because she is not mentioned in her supposed mother's will[82].  In addition, if it is correct that Giselbert's mother was the daughter of King Boso (see the document BURGUNDIAN NOBILITY), she would have been her husband's first cousin, which seems unlikely to have been accepted by the church.  Gislebertus...comes Heduensis atque aliarum patriarum”, at the request of “Roberti Divionensis”, granted property to “suo fidele Guitbaldus...” by charter dated “III Id Dec Indictione XIV anno VII regnante Ludovico rege” [dated to 942 by Duchesne, probably 943, see above], subscribed by “Gisleberti comitis, Ermengardi quæ consensit, Adaleidis filie eorum similiter quæ consensit...[83]

Duke Giselbert & his wife had [three] children:

1.         ADELAIS “Werra” ([930/35]-)Gislebertus...comes Heduensis atque aliarum patriarum”, at the request of “Roberti Divionensis”, granted property to “suo fidele Guitbaldus...” by charter dated “III Id Dec Indictione XIV anno VII regnante Ludovico rege” [dated to 942 by Duchesne, probably 943, see above], subscribed by “Gisleberti comitis, Ermengardi quæ consensit, Adaleidis filie eorum similiter quæ consensit...[84]The Chronicon of Odorannus records the death in 956 of “Gislebertus comes Burgundionem”, adding that “honorem eius cum filia...Leudegarde...” was received by “Otho frater Hugonis ducis” and that “aliam...filiam...Werram” married “Robertus comes Trecasinorum[85].  "Trecassine urbis comitem Robertum" donated land to "Gratianum abbatem monasterii Sancti Petri Dervensis" by charter dated 6 Aug 959, signed by “Rotberti...comitis, Adelais comitissæ, Erberti filii eorum...[86]Lot indicates that “Werra” indicated “la Guerre”, noting that “M.

2.         [--- ([930/32]-[947/55?]) or ADELAIS ([930/32] or [940/45?]-after Jul 987).  This is one of several proposed origins for the wife of Lambert Comte de Chalon: follow his hyperlink for discussion of the other possibilities, and also discussions about her possible earlier marriage, her alternative birth and marriage dates, and about Lambert’s possible earlier marriage.  Presumably, if this person “Adelais” was Giselbert’s daughter, she would have been different from his known daughter Adelais “Werra” who married Robert Comte de Meaux.  A completely different possibility is that Giselbert’s daughter was Lambert’s first wife, and that she was not named “Adelais” at all.  Lot (in 1891) indicated that “il faut...nécessairement que la femme du comte Lambert soit Adélaïde, fille de Gilbert, on the assumption that Lambert’s appointment to Chalon was in succession to Duke Giselbert, the previous holder, by right of his wife[88]Poupardin (1907) accepted Lot’s conclusion[89]Chaume (1925) disagreed, commenting that “C’était oublier...la qualité de primus comes ‘fondateur d’une ligne nouvelle, sans lien avec la précédente’, que les textes assignent à deux reprises à Lambert[90].  Chaume’s observation appears supported by the source cited in the document BURGUNDY DUCHY-CHALON & BEAUNE which records that Lambertus...” obtained “comitatum Cabilonensem primus, assentante rege primoribusque Franciæ[91].  On the other hand, Settipani highlights firstly that, even in the 9th century “avant l´hérédité formelle des charges”, the king “prenait garde en général” to appoint to a county a person with local connections “afin d’éliminer au maximum les risques de contestations et d’augmenter l’assise politique de son protégé”, and secondly that the phrase “assentante rege” does not exclude “et même présuppose, un droit à la succession”.  Settipani concludes that “il reste donc une certaine vraisemblance à l’idée d’un lien entre Adélaïde et Giselbert, mais certainement pas de certitude comme on le croyait[92]m firstly ([943/46] or ([956/60?]) [as his [first/second] wife?] LAMBERT Comte de Chalon, son of ROBERT Vicomte de Dijon & his wife Ingeltrude --- (-22 Feb 978, bur Paray-le-Moniale).  m secondly (Mar 978 or [Mar 978/early 979]) as his second wife, GEOFFROY I “Grisegonelle” Comte d'Anjou, son of FOULQUES II Comte d’Anjou & his first wife Gerberge [de Maine] ([938/40]-Marçon 21 Jul 987, bur Châteauneuf, église Saint-Martin).

3.         LIETGARDE (-after 958).  A manuscript, whose attribution to Orderic Vitalis is disputed, refers to the wife of Duke Otton as the daughter of Giselbert without giving her name[93].  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines also refers to the wife of "Otto [filius Hugo rex]…dux Burgundie" as "filiam Gisleberti" without naming her[94].  The Historia Francorum Senonensis refers to "filiam Gisleberti ducis Burgundiæ" as the wife of "Ottoni, filio Hugonis Magni", when recording his succession to his father-in-law's dukedom[95].  The Chronicon of Odorannus records the death in 956 of “Gislebertus comes Burgundionem”, adding that “honorem eius cum filia...Leudegarde, ex qua postea a Radulpho Divionensi pipicus factus est” was received by “Otho frater Hugonis ducis” and that “aliam...filiam...Werram” married “Robertus comes Trecasinorum[96].  This document appears to indicate that Lietgarde was the older daughter.  However, if that is correct it is unclear why Adelais was the only daughter who subscribed the charter dated 943 (see above).  The reference in the Chronicon of Odorannus to “Leudegarde, ex qua postea a Radulpho Divionensi pipicus factus est” is assumed to indicate her later infidelity: Millin suggest that “pipicus”, derived from “picus” indicating magpie, indicates cuckold, by analogy with the cuckoo and based on the mistaken impression that the two birds have similar nesting habits[97].  This suggestion is corroborated by the Annales Nivernenses which record in 958 that “Rodulfus Divioni comes” captured “Belnum [Beaune] castrum seniori sui Optonis [later Otton/Eudes Duke of Burgundy]” and what was worse abducted “uxorem suam...filiam...Gisleberti” and married her, but that the castle was recaptured “ab Optone et a suis fidelibus Kal Mai” [no further mention of the fate of his wife][98]m [firstly] ([Easter] 955) OTTON [Eudes], son of HUGUES "le Grand" Capet Duc des Francs & his third wife Hedwig of Saxony ([945]-22/23 Feb 965, bur Saint-Germain d’Auxerre).  Comte d’Auxerre.  On the death of his father-in-law in 956, Lothaire King of France installed Eudes in Burgundy at Beaune.  He was installed as EUDES Duke of Burgundy in 960[99].  [m secondly (bigamously early 958) RAOUL [III] Comte de Dijon, son of [RAOUL [II] Comte de Dijon & his wife ---] (-after 958).]

Chapter 4.    DUKES of BURGUNDY (CAPET) [956]-1361

 

 

 

A.      DUKES of BURGUNDY [956]-1031

 

 

Hugues "le Grand", father of the future Hugues Capet King of France, succeeded Duke Giselbert (see Chapter 2) as Duke of Burgundy in 956.  His sons succeeded as dukes of Burgundy in turn, until Robert, grandson of King Hugues, was created duke by his brother Henri I King of France in 1032.  The dukes of Burgundy who were also kings of France are shown here in outline form only to demonstrate how the title descended through the family.  For more details, follow the hyperlinks to the document FRANCE CAPETIAN KINGS. 

 

 

HUGUES “le Grand”, son of ROBERT I King of France & his second wife Béatrix de Vermandois [Carolingian] ([898]-Dourdan, Essonne Jun 956).  He was granted lordship over Burgundy and Aquitaine.  He was only able to subjugate the former, and succeeded Duke Giselbert as Duke of Burgundy in Apr 956. 

1.         HUGUES ([940]-Les Juifs, near Prasville, Eure-et-Loire 24 Oct 996, bur église de l'Abbaye royale de Saint-Denis).  Duc des Francs 960.  He was elected HUGUES King of France by an assembly of nobles at Senlis 29 May 987. 

a)         ROBERT (Orléans ([27 Mar] 972-château de Melun 20 Jul 1031, bur St Denis).  He succeeded his father in 996 as ROBERT II "le Pieux" King of FranceHe claimed the duchy of Burgundy on the death of his paternal uncle Duke Henri in 1002, but took 12 years to complete its conquest in the face of opposition from Otto-Guillaume Comte de Bourgogne[122]

i)          HENRI ([end 1009/May 1010]-Palais de Vitry-aux-Loges, forêt d’Orléans, Loiret 4 Aug 1060, bur église de l'Abbaye royale de Saint-Denis)His father installed him as Duke of Burgundy 25 Jan 1016 after completing his conquest of the duchy[123]He succeeded his father in 1031 as HENRI I King of France

-        KINGS of FRANCE.

ii)         ROBERT ([1011/12]-church of Fleury-sur-Ouche, Côte d’Or 18 Mar 1076, bur Saint-Seine-l’Abbaye, Côte d’Or).  His father named him heir to the duchy of Burgundy in 1030, he was created ROBERT I "le Vieux" Duke of Burgundy in 1032 by his brother Henri I King of France. 

-        see below, Part B

2.         OTTON [Eudes] ([945]-22/23 Feb 965, bur Saint-Germain d’Auxerre).  The Historia Francorum Senonensis names (in order) "Hugo, Otto et Heinricus" as the three sons of "Hugo Magnus dux Francorum…ex filia Odonis regis"[124].  Comte d’Auxerre.  On the death of his father-in-law in 956, Lothaire King of France installed Eudes as Duke of Burgundy at Beaune.  "Otto filius Hugonis" was installed as Duke of Burgundy in 960[125].  Flodoard records the death in 965 of "Otto filius Hugonis qui Burgundiæ præerat"[126].  The necrology of Auxerre cathedral records the death 23 Feb 963 of "Otto Burgundiæ Marchio"[127]m ([Easter] 955) LIETGARDE, daughter of GISELBERT Duke of Burgundy, Comte d'Autun & his wife Ermengarde [of Burgundy] (-after 958).  A manuscript, whose attribution to Orderic Vitalis is disputed, refers to the wife of Duke Otto as daughter of Giselbert without giving her name[128].  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines also refers to the wife of "Otto [filius Hugo rex]…dux Burgundie" as "filiam Gisleberti" without naming her[129].  The Historia Francorum Senonensis refers to "filiam Gisleberti ducis Burgundiæ" as the wife of "Ottoni, filio Hugonis Magni", when recording his succession to his father-in-law's dukedom[130].  The Chronicon of Odorannus records the death in 956 of “Gislebertus comes Burgundionem”, adding that “honorem eius cum filia...Leudegarde, ex qua postea a Radulpho Divionensi pipicus factus est” was received by “Otho frater Hugonis ducis” and that “aliam...filiam...Werram” married “Robertus comes Trecasinorum[131].  This document appears to indicate that Lietgarde was the older daughter.  However, if that is correct it is unclear why Adelais was the only daughter who subscribed her father’s 943 charter.  The reference in the Chronicon of Odorannus to “Leudegarde, ex qua postea a Radulpho Divionensi pipicus factus est” is assumed to indicate her later infidelity: Millin suggest that “pipicus”, derived from “picus” indicating magpie, indicates cuckold, by analogy with the cuckoo and based on the mistaken impression that the two birds have similar nesting habits[132].  This suggestion is corroborated by the Annales Nivernenses which record in 958 that “Rodulfus Divioni comes” captured “Belnum [Beaune] castrum seniori sui Optonis [later Otton/Eudes Duke of Burgundy]” and what was worse abducted “uxorem suam...filiam...Gisleberti” and married her, but that the castle was recaptured “ab Optone et a suis fidelibus Kal Mai” [no further mention of the fate of his wife][133]

3.         EUDES ([948]-Château de Pouilly-sur-Saône 15 Oct 1002)The Historia Francorum Senonensis names (in order) "Hugo, Otto et Heinricus" as the three sons of "Hugo Magnus dux Francorum…ex filia Odonis regis"[134].  Flodoard names "Hugonem et Oddonem clericum" as brothers of "Otto filius Hugonis", when he records that the rectores of Burgundy named them as his successors[135].  He adopted the name HENRI, and the title Duke of Burgundy.  He possessed the counties of Autun, Beaune and Avallon, and was suzerain of the Counts of Chalon, Tonnerre, Nevers and Auxerre, and probably of the Counts of Mâcon and Oscheret[136].  King Lothaire confiscated the counties of Langres and Dijon in 967 and gave them to the Bishop of Langres[137].  Duke Henri married the widow of the ex-king of Italy who had sought refuge in Autun in 971 and adopted her son by her first marriage, Otto-Guillaume, who later became Comte de Bourgogne et de Mâcon.  The Chronicle of Saint-Bénigne, interpolated into the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines, records the death in 1002 of "dux Burgundie Henricus"[138]Rodulfus Glaber records the death of "dux Heinricus" in the third year of the millennium at "Castrum Pulliacum super Ararim" in Burgundy and his burial at Auxerre in Oct[139]The necrology of Auxerre cathedral records the death 15 Oct of "Henricus Burgundiæ marchio"[140]m firstly ([973]) as her second husband, GERBERGE, widow of ADALBERTO II di Ivrea ex-King of Italy, daughter of [LAMBERT Comte de Chalon] & his [first wife ---] or [second] wife Adelais --- [or daughter of Adelais by a possible first marriage] ([945/47]-11 Dec [987/91]).  Her name and her two marriages are confirmed by the Chronicle of Saint-Bénigne, interpolated into the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines, which names "Guilelmum Ottonem et eius matrem Gerbergam" when recording that her son was adopted by his mother's second husband "dux Burgundie Henricus"[141].  Her birth date is estimated from the estimated birth date of her son by her first marriage in [960/62].  Her family origin is indicated by the Gesta pontificum Autissiodorensium which, in recording Hugues de Chalon Bishop of Auxerre, notes that “Henrici ducis” [Henri Duke of Burgundy] married “ejus germanam[142].  Follow her hyperlink for discussion about her possible parentage.  “Roclenus Nevernicæ sedis...præsul” donated “altare...in provincia Nevernensium...[et] in villa Guarigniaci” to Nevers Saint-Cyr by charter dated Apr 986, subscribed by “...Henricus Burgundiæ dux...Guillelmus comes...Girberga comitissa, Landricus gloriosus miles...[143].  The necrology of Auxerre cathedral records the death 11 Dec of "Gerberga comitissa uxor Henrici ducis"[144]m secondly (before Jun 992, repudiated 996 before 24 Oct) GERSENDE de Gascogne, daughter of GUILLAUME Sanchez Comte de Gascogne & his wife Urraca de Navarra.  This second marriage is deduced from the evidence provided by three charters.  "Domnus Hugo comes atque mater sua Adeleidis" donated property "in pago Cabilonensi" to the abbey of Paray-le-Moniale by an undated charter signed by "Hugo comes, Adeleidis matris suæ, Mauritii filii eius, Enrici ducis, Garlindis uxoris eius"[145].  "Henrici ducis…[et] dominæ Garsindis comitissæ" and "Henricus dux, Gersindis ducatrix" are named in two charters of Saint-Symphorien d'Autun dated Jun 991 or 992 and 10 May 993 respectively[146].  Her parentage is confirmed by the Historia Abbatiæ Condomensis which notes that "Gimbaldum Comitem, patrem Ugonis Episcopi" donated property "ecclesiam S. Johannis, Cablisa" to the convent of Condom and also "nobilissima femina Gavarsens…eius videlicet neptis, soror Sanctii Guasconiæ Comitis" after returning from "quadam provincia Burgundia…ubi maritum habuerat"[147]Bouchard suggests that Garlindis/Garsindis are name variants of "Gerberga", the wife of Duke Henri named in earlier sources (and assumed to be his first wife)[148].  However, this appears unlikely to be correct as the suffix root elements of these names "-sendis" and "-berga" are not normally interchangeable and appear separately with different prefix roots in many different contemporary names[149].  It therefore appears likely that "Gersende" was a different person from "Gerberge".  Bouchard also highlights that the only allusion to the origin of Duke Henri's supposed second wife is a satirical poem written about Landry Comte de Nevers which includes an obscure reference to a wife who felt distressed and "sought Gascony"[150].  She also comments that the context of the poem implies that, in any case, it was Landry's wife to whom this refers[151].  However, it does not appear that she was aware of the passage in the Historia Abbatiæ Condomensis, quoted above, which appears to confirm Gersende´s parentage conclusively.  Duke Henri [Eudes] had [two] illegitimate children by unknown mistresses:

a)         EUDES (-after 25 Aug 1005).  The Chronicle of Saint-Bénigne, interpolated into the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines, names "Odo vicecomes Belnensis" as son of "Henrici ducis Burgundie, frater ex matre Guillelmi Ottonis"[152].  The absence of any reference to his claiming the succession to the duchy of Burgundy indicates that he was illegitimate rather than Duke Henri's son by his first wife.    

-           VICOMTES de BEAUNE

b)         [HENRI (-before 1023).  Seigneur de Vergy.  J. Richard suggests that Henri Seigneur de Vergy was the illegitimate son of Henri Duke of Burgundy[153].  He asserts that the transfer of the seigneurie de Vergy from Henri's son Humbert to Jean, son of Eudes Vicomte de Beaune, indicates a close family relationship, which he assumes to be one of first cousins.  However, Vergy was recorded in the hands of Jean several years before the death of Humbert, suggesting a transfer by sale rather than inheritance.  In any case, the natural heir to Vergy if it had passed by inheritance would have been Geoffroy Comte de Mâcon, son of Humbert's sister Elisabeth.  The same author links the father of Bishop Humbert with the Henri who signed a charter at Flavigny in 992, along with other Burgundian lords.

B.      DUKES of BURGUNDY 1032-1361

 

 

ROBERT de France, son of ROBERT II "le Pieux" King of France & his third wife Constance d'Arles ([1011/12]-church of Fleury-sur-Ouche, Côte d’Or 8 or 18 Mar 1076, bur Abbaye de Saint-Seine, Côte d’Or)The Historia Francorum names (in order) "Hugonem qui cognominatus est Magnus, Henricum, Robertum, Odonem" as the four sons of King Robert and his wife Constance[154]Rodulfus Glauber names "Heinricus rex…germanium suum Rotbertum" when recording the latter's installation as duke of Burgundy by his brother[155].  His mother supported him as candidate to be consecrated associate king in 1027, in place of his older brother Henri who was supported by their father.  His father named him heir to the duchy of Burgundy in 1030.  He was installed as ROBERT I Duke of Burgundy in 1032 by his brother King Henri I.  Comte d'Auxerre in 1040, when he conquered the county after Hugues Bishop of Auxerre died in 1039.  He lost it after the 1060 council of Autun which ended his war with Nevers[156]Robertus Burgundie dux” renounced rights “in villa...Gilliacus...” in favour of Saint-Germain-des-Prés by charter dated 22 Sep 1040, subscribed by “...Elie conjugis eius...[157].  “Robertus dux Burgundiorum cum uxore mea Helia” donated “terram...Villare Bichet...in pago Belnensi” to Saint-Germain-des-Prés, with the consent of “filiorum nostrorum Hugonis et Henrici”, by charter dated to [1043/44][158].  “Robertus dux et duo filii mei Hugo et Henricus” renounced rights to revenue from land “in Gilliaco” in favour of Saint-Germain-des-Prés by charter dated 2 Feb 1053[159]The necrology of Cîteaux records the death "VIII Id Mar" of "Robertus…dux Burgundie"[160].  The necrology of Molesme records the death "XV Kal Apr" of "Robertus dux Burgundie et Ermengardis uxor eius"[161].  There is some mystery surrounding his death: a narrative by Pierre de Saint-Julien deacon of Chalon records that “Robertus dux” died “nuper dedecorose” in the church of Fleury-sur-Ouche, without providing further details[162]

m firstly ([1033], repudiated [1048/50]) HELIE de Semur, daughter of DALMAS [I] Seigneur de Semur-en-Brionnais & his wife Aramburge --- ([1016]-Semur-en-Brionnais, Saône-et-Loire 22 Apr after 1055).  "Robertus dux Burgundionum" confirmed the possessions of Cluny by charter dated [1040] subscribed by "Ilie uxoris eius"[163].  The date of the marriage is deduced from the charter, dated to [1034], which is subscribed by "Roberti ducis et uxoris sue", under which "Gibuinus" confirmed a donation to Saint-Etienne de Dijon[164]Robertus Burgundie dux” renounced rights “in villa...Gilliacus...” in favour of Saint-Germain-des-Prés by charter dated 22 Sep 1040, subscribed by “...Elie conjugis eius...[165]"Robertus…dux et rector inferioris Burgundiæ" donated property to Saint-Bénigne-de-Dijon by charter dated 1 Mar 1043 which names "Helie uxoris mee…"[166]Robertus dux Burgundiorum cum uxore mea Helia” donated “terram...Villare Bichet...in pago Belnensi” to Saint-Germain-des-Prés, with the consent of “filiorum nostrorum Hugonis et Henrici”, by charter dated to [1043/44][167]Her parentage is confirmed by the Vita S Hugonis, which records that "Dux Burgundie, gener eius" killed the father of St Hugues (abbot of Cluny) by his own hand[168].  The "Notes historiques sur le prieuré de Marcigny", included in the cartulary of Marcigny-sur-Loire, name (in order) "sancti Hugonis abbatis Cluniacensis et Gaufredi Sinemurensis, Andræ levitæ, Joceranni et Dalmatii, et sororum eorundem…Materdis, Adalaidæ et Cecilæ atque Evellæ" as children of "Dalmatius", but do not make the link with Duke Robert[169]"Robertus dux et uxor sua Hylia" donated money to the church of Saint-Etienne de Dijon by undated charter[170]She was repudiated, presumably on grounds of consanguinity, before [1050] when Jean Abbot of Fécamp wrote to Pope Leo IX recording that "Tedbaldo comite et Burgundionum…duce R" had "abdicatis legitimi thori connumbiis" and had "in inhonestis et consanguinitate fœdatis thalamis"[171].  She became a nun as PETRONILLE after her repudiation[172].  The necrology of Auxerre cathedral records the death 22 Apr of "Helya uxor Rotberti ducis"[173]

m secondly ([1049]) as her second husband, ERMENGARDE d'Anjou, widow of GEOFFROY II "Ferréol" Seigneur de Château-Landon, Comte de Gâtinais, daughter of FOULQUES III "Nerra/the Black" Comte d’Anjou & his second wife Hildegarde de Metz ([1015/20]-[church of Fleury-sur-Ouche, Côte d’Or 18 Mar 1076]).  The Historiæ Andegavensis names "Goffridi de Castro Landono et Ermengardis filia Fulconis Comitis Andegavensis" as parents of "Fulco comes Andegavensis"[174].  Considering that she gave birth to at least one child by her second marriage, it is unlikely that Ermengarde was born earlier than [1015].  She must therefore have been considerably younger than her brother.  Her first marriage is dated very approximately to [1035].  Her second marriage is deduced from a genealogy of the Comtes d'Anjou which names "Fulco (pater) Gosfridus et Ermengardis (mater) Gosfridus (et) Fulco (et) Hildegardis, de altero patre, filia Roberti ducis fratris Henrici regis"[175].  Her second marriage is dated from the letter written before [1050] by Jean Abbot of Fécamp to Pope Leo IX recording that "Tedbaldo comite et Burgundionum…duce R" had "abdicatis legitimi thori connumbiis" and had "in inhonestis et consanguinitate fœdatis thalamis"[176].  The necrology of Molesme records the death "XV Kal Apr" of "Robertus dux Burgundie et Ermengardis uxor eius"[177].  This suggests that Ermengarde died on the same day as her husband, possibly at the same place and in the same circumstances, although it is not infrequent for medieval necrologies to record couples on the same day maybe in commemoration of a joint donation to the religious institution in question.  No other source which elucidates the circumstances of Ermengarde’s death has been identified. 

Duke Robert I & his first wife had three children: 

1.         HUGUES de Bourgogne ([1034]-killed in battle [1059/60]).  "Hugonis ducis filii, bone indolis pueri" is named in a charter of "Robertus dux Burgundionum" dated [1032/39][178].  "Robertus…dux et rector inferioris Burgundiæ" donated property to Saint-Bénigne-de-Dijon by charter dated 1 Mar 1043 which names "Helie uxoris mee…seu filiorum nostrorum Hugonis…atque Heinrici"[179].  He was killed during the war with Nevers[180]Robertus dux Burgundiorum cum uxore mea Helia” donated “terram...Villare Bichet...in pago Belnensi” to Saint-Germain-des-Prés, with the consent of “filiorum nostrorum Hugonis et Henrici”, by charter dated to [1043/44][181].  “Robertus dux et duo filii mei Hugo et Henricus” renounced rights to revenue from land “in Gilliaco” in favour of Saint-Germain-des-Prés by charter dated 2 Feb 1053[182]

2.         HENRI de Bourgogne "le Damoiseau" ([1035]-27 Jan [1070/74]).  "Robertus…dux et rector inferioris Burgundiæ" donated property to Saint-Bénigne-de-Dijon by charter dated 1 Mar 1043 which names "Helie uxoris mee…seu filiorum nostrorum Hugonis…atque Heinrici"[183].  He is named as first born son of Duke Robert by Orderic Vitalis, who specifies that Henri died in his father's lifetime leaving three sons whom he names[184]Robertus dux Burgundiorum cum uxore mea Helia” donated “terram...Villare Bichet...in pago Belnensi” to Saint-Germain-des-Prés, with the consent of “filiorum nostrorum Hugonis et Henrici”, by charter dated to [1043/44][185].  “Robertus dux et duo filii mei Hugo et Henricus” renounced rights to revenue from land “in Gilliaco” in favour of Saint-Germain-des-Prés by charter dated 2 Feb 1053[186]"Henricus Roberti ducis filius Burgundie" granted rights in the forest of Saint-Julien to the church of Saint-Etienne de Dijon by undated charter[187]m --- (-6 Jul 1074 or after, bur Besançon, Saint-Etienne).  The wife of Henri de Bourgogne has not been identified with certainty.  Abbé Maurice Chaume[188] suggested that she was a relative of Ramón Borell I Conde de Barcelona, pointing out the use of the name "Borel" by her son and grandson Dukes Eudes I and Hugues II.  Szabolcs de Vajay[189]  proposed more specifically that she was --- de Barcelona, daughter of Berenguer Ramón I "el Curvo" Conde de Barcelona & his third wife Guisle de Ampurias, married while her husband and his father were in Barcelona on crusade in Spain.  There appears to be nothing to support the suggestion that her first name was Sibylla.  Jean Richard[190] suggested that the wife of Henri de Bourgogne was possibly named Clémence, a name used by her descendants, and that she may have originated from Poitiers.  There does not appear to be any direct proof to support any of these theories.  Henri de Bourgogne & his wife had seven children:

a)         HUGUES de Bourgogne ([1056/57]-Cluny, Saône-et-Loire 29 Aug 1093, bur Abbaye de Cluny, Chapelle de Sainte-Marie).  He is named as son of Henri by Orderic Vitalis[191].  His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated [21 Mar 1076/24 Jan 1077] which names "Hugo…post decessum Rotberti ducis" and which specifies that Robert was "patris Heinrici genitoris nostri"[192].  He succeeded his grandfather in 1076 as HUGUES I Duke of Burgundy, although the former intended Hugues's uncle Robert de Bourgogne as his successor.  Orderic Vitalis records that Hugues succeeded in expelling Robert, along with his younger brother Simon, from Burgundy[193].  "Hugo Burgundionum dux" made a donation to Cluny dated 19 Feb 1078, subscribed by "Oddonis fratris eius, Rotberti alterius fratris eius"[194].  Duke Hugues left for Spain in [1078/79] to fight the Moors, helping Sancho I King of Aragon to take the kingdom of Navarre.  Orderic Vitalis records that he abdicated as duke in favour of his younger brother Eudes, and became a monk at Cluny[195], dated to [Oct/Nov] 1079. 

b)         EUDES de Bourgogne ([1060]-Tarsus, Cilicia 23 Mar 1103, bur Abbaye de Cîteaux, Côte-d'Or, Chapelle Saint-Georges).  He is named as son of Henri by Orderic Vitalis[196].  He succeeded in 1079 on the abdication of his brother as EUDES I "Borel" Duke of Burgundy

-        see below.

c)         ROBERT de Bourgogne (-Châtillon-sur-Seine, Côte d'Or 18 Sep 1111, bur Abbaye de Molesmes, near Langres).  He is named as son of Henri by Orderic Vitalis[197].  "Hugo Burgundionum dux" made a donation to Cluny dated 19 Feb 1078, subscribed by "Oddonis fratris eius, Rotberti alterius fratris eius"[198].  Clerk at Langres 1077, archdeacon 1080.  Bishop of Langres 1085, after the death of Renaud de Bar.  "Odo dux Burgundie" confirmed a donation by "frater meus domnus Hugo" to the abbey of Molesme with the consent of "fratres mei Robertus archidiaconus, Henricus puer, Beatrix et Helia sorores mee" by charter dated to [1081/84][199].  "Odo dux Burgundie" donated the village of Marcenay to the abbey of Molesme with the consent of "omnes eius fratres et sorores Robertus, Henricus, Beatrix, Helia" by charter dated to [1080/83][200].  Robert took part in the war in Spain against the Moors, with his two brothers Eudes and Henri, in 1087.  He became a Benedictine monk at Molesmes, being a friend of St Bruno who founded the Order of Chartreux[201].  The cartulary of Saint-Bénigne-de-Dijon includes a funerary elogy of the life of "Roberti Lingonensis episcopi…regum Franciæ ac ducum Burgundiæ stirpe genitus" dated 19 Oct 1111[202]

d)         BEATRIX de Bourgogne (-after [1111/12]).  "Odo dux Burgundie" confirmed a donation by "frater meus domnus Hugo" to the abbey of Molesme with the consent of "fratres mei Robertus archidiaconus, Henricus puer, Beatrix et Helia sorores mee" by charter dated to [1081/84][203].  "Odo dux Burgundie" donated the village of Marcenay to the abbey of Molesme with the consent of "omnes eius fratres et sorores Robertus, Henricus, Beatrix, Helia" by charter dated to [1080/83][204].  "Beatrix soror Rotberti Lingonensis episcopi" donated property to the abbey of Molesme by charter dated to [1085/1106][205].  "…Widone filio predicti Widonis et uxore eius Beatrice et filiis eorum Roberto et Widone" consented to the donation by "Oddo et Albertus fratres" to the abbey of Saint-Etienne de Vignory by charter dated to [1081/1112][206].  "Domina Beatrix uxor domini Widonis de Wannulriaco" donated property to Molesme by charter dated [1111/12] which names "fratris sui Roberti Linguonensis episcopi"[207]m (after 1082) GUY [III] Seigneur de Vignory, son of GUY [II] Seigneur de Vignory & his wife Hildegarde --- (-before 1126). 

e)         HELIE de Bourgogne (-after [1081/84]).  "Odo dux Burgundie" confirmed a donation by "frater meus domnus Hugo" to the abbey of Molesme with the consent of "fratres mei Robertus archidiaconus, Henricus puer, Beatrix et Helia sorores mee" by charter dated to [1081/84][208].  "Odo dux Burgundie" donated the village of Marcenay to the abbey of Molesme with the consent of "omnes eius fratres et sorores Robertus, Henricus, Beatrix, Helia" by charter dated to [1080/83][209]Nun.   

f)          RENAUD de Bourgogne ([1064]-10 Jan 1092).  Monk at the abbey of Saint Pierre at Flavigny, abbot from [1084/85].  The necrology of Flavigny records the death "IV Id Feb" of "Rainaldus frater ducis abbas Flaviniacensis"[210]

g)         HENRI de Bourgogne ([1069/72]-killed in battle Astorga León 1 Nov 1112, bur Braga Cathedral).  "Heynricus frater meus" witnessed the donation to Cluny of "Oddo dux Burgundie"[211].  An indication of his age is given in the charter dated to [1081/84] under which "Odo dux Burgundie" confirmed a donation by "frater meus domnus Hugo" to the abbey of Molesme with the consent of "fratres mei Robertus archidiaconus, Henricus puer, Beatrix et Helia sorores mee"[212].  His parentage is confirmed by an early 12th century document at Fleury which records that "Ainrico uni filiorum, filio…ducis Roberti" married "alteram filiam…non ex coniugali" of Alfonso VI King of Castile[213].  He took part in the war in Spain against the Moors, with his two brothers Eudes and Robert, in 1087.  His aunt Queen Constance invited him to the court of Castile.  Señor de Braga [1093].  He was installed as HENRIQUE Conde de Portugal in [1093] or [1095] by Alfonso VI King of Castile.

3.         CONSTANCE de Bourgogne ([after 1045]-[Jan/Feb] or [3 Apr/25 Oct] 1093, bur Sahagún, León, royal monastery of Santos Facundo y Primitivo).  The Chronicon Trenorciensi records that "Constantiæ…filia Roberti Ducis" married firstly "Hugonis Cabilonensis Comitis" and secondly "Hispaniæ Rex Adefonsus"[214].  Considering the estimated date of her first marriage, it is unlikely that Constance was born before [1045].  She was therefore considerably younger than her brothers.  A charter dated 5 Aug 1087 of "Ducem Burgundiæ Oddonem" restored property to Tournus abbey by "comitissa Cabillonensis filia Rotberti ducis", after the death of "mariti sui Hugonis comitis", adding that she subsequently became "Regina Galliciæ et Hispaniarum"[215]"Infanta donna Urraka Regis domni Adefonsi filia" names her mother "Constantie regina" in her donation to Cluny dated 22 Feb 1117 "Spanish Era"[216], although the date was presumably AD as 1117 Spanish Era was equivalent to 1079 AD.  An early 12th century document at Fleury records that "filiam Roberti ducis Bugundionem…Constantiam" married Alfonso VI King of Castile and was mother of a daughter who married "Raymundo comiti"[217].  The Chronicon Regum Legionensium names "Queen Constance" as the second of the "five legitimate wives" of King Alfonso[218].  Her second marriage date is estimated based on the likely estimated death date of her first husband in [Nov/early Dec] 1079 and her subscribing a document dated 25 Dec 1079 at Dueñas with her second husband[219].  Queen Constance was instrumental in having the Roman rite replace the Visigothic rite in the churches of Castile.  "Adefonsus…Hispaniarum rex…cum coniuge mea Constantia regina" donated property to the monastery of San Salvador de Oña by charter dated 1 May 1092[220].  The date of her death is fixed by her last known mention in a charter dated 25 Jul 1093 and a donation by King Alfonso to the monastery of Sahagún dated 25 Oct 1093, which does not include Queen Constanza's name in the subscription list[221].  Pérez´s history of Sahagún monastery, published in 1782, states that "Doña Berta…Reyna…está enterrada no lejos de Doña Constanza en la Capilla" of the monastery, but does not quote the inscription which confirms this statement[222]m firstly ([1065]) HUGUES [II] Comte de Chalon, son of THIBAUT Comte de Chalon & his wife Ermentrude--- (-in Spain [Nov/early Dec] 1079).  m secondly (late 1079 or 8 May 1081) as his second wife, ALFONSO VI King of Castile and León, son of FERNANDO I King of Castile & his wife Sancha de León (Compostella [1036] or before Jun 1040-29 or 30 Jun 1109, bur Sahagún, León, San Mancio chapel in the royal monastery of Santos Facundo y Primitivo). 

Duke Robert & his [first/second] wife had two children:

4.         ROBERT de Bourgogne (-poisoned [1113]).  He is named as son of Duke Robert by Orderic Vitalis[223].  Petit, followed by Jean Richard, suggests that Robert and Simon were sons of Duke Robert by his second marriage[224].  Given his active career in the early 12th century, a birth date in the 1050s is more likely than in the late 1030s/early 1040s, but there appears to be no surviving primary source which points either way.  Orderic Vitalis records that he was declared heir to the duchy of Burgundy by his father, after his older [half-]brother died, but was dispossessed by his nephew Duke Hugues I[225].  A charter dated 5 Aug 1087 of "Ducem Burgundiæ Oddonem" restored property to Tournus abbey by "comitissa Cabillonensis filia Rotberti ducis", after the death of "mariti sui Hugonis comitis", adding that she subsequently became "Regina Galliciæ et Hispaniarum", subscribed by "Rotberti avunculi ducis fratris Reginæ", the charter signed at León[226]Orderic Vitalis records that he "made a friendly alliance" with Adelaida, widow of Roger I Count of Sicily, who arranged his marriage and appointed him co-regent for her son[227].  He was murdered by his mother-in-law with a poisoned draught after Count Roger II came of age[228].  His death date is estimated from Orderic Vitalis recording that "for ten years he defended the principality [Sicily] vigourously against all attacks"[229]m (1102 or 1103) [SIBYLLE] of Sicily, daughter of ROGER I Count of Sicily & his second wife Eremburge de Mortain.  Orderic Vitalis records that Adelaida, widow of Roger I Count of Sicily, arranged the marriage of "her daughter" (unnamed) to Robert de Bourgogne whom she appointed co-regent for her son[230].  Van Kerrebrouck says that Sibylle was the possible name of this daughter and that she was born from his third marriage[231], presumably reading the passage in Orderic Vitalis literally.  It seems more likely chronologically that she was the daughter of Count Roger's second marriage. 

5.         SIMON de Bourgogne (-after 1087).  He is named as son of Duke Robert by Orderic Vitalis[232].  Petit, followed by Jean Richard, suggests that Robert and Simon were sons of Duke Robert by his second marriage[233].  He was expelled from Burgundy with his brother Robert[234].  Bouchard speculates that "Simon" was an error for "Hugh", who is not mentioned by Orderic Vitalis.  However, as Hugues had been dead for some time when Orderic wrote his chronicle such an omission may not be surprising[235].  

Duke Robert & his second wife had one child: 

6.         AUDEARDE [Hildegarde] de Bourgogne (-after 1120, bur Poitiers, [église abbatiale de Saint-Jean l'Evangéliste de Montierneuf]).  The Chronicle of Saint-Maxence records the marriage of "Guido comes" and "Aldeardim filiam Roberti ducis Burgundiæ" after he repudiated his previous wife[236]Her precise parentage is deduced from a genealogy of the Comtes d'Anjou which names "Fulco (pater) Gosfridus et Ermengardis (mater) Gosfridus (et) Fulco (et) Hildegardis, de altero patre, filia Roberti ducis fratris Henrici regis"[237]m (Mar 1069, separated 1076) as his third wife, GUILLAUME VIII Duke of Aquitaine, GUILLAUME VI Comte de Poitou, son of GUILLAUME V "le Grand" Duke of Aquitaine [GUILLAUME III Comte de Poitou] & his third wife Agnès de Mâcon [Bourgogne-Comté] (1023-Chizé near Niort, Poitou 25 Sep 1086, bur Poitiers, église abbatiale de Saint-Jean l'Evangéliste de Montierneuf).

 

 

EUDES de Bourgogne, son of HENRI de Bourgogne & his wife --- ([1060]-Tarsus, Cilicia 23 Mar 1103, bur Abbaye de Cîteaux, Côte-d'Or, Chapelle Saint-Georges).  He is named as son of Henri by Orderic Vitalis[238].  "Hugo Burgundionum dux" made a donation to Cluny dated 19 Feb 1078, subscribed by "Oddonis fratris eius, Rotberti alterius fratris eius"[239].  He succeeded in 1079 on the abdication of his brother as EUDES I "Borel"[240] Duke of Burgundy.  He led the expedition to Spain to fight the Moors in 1087, accompanied by his brothers Robert and Henri, but was defeated at Tudela in Navarre.  "Ducem Burgundiæ Oddonem" restored property to Tournus abbey by "comitissa Cabillonensis filia Rotberti ducis", after the death of "mariti sui Hugonis comitis", adding that she subsequently became "Regina Galliciæ et Hispaniarum", by charter dated 5 Aug 1087 at León, subscribed by "Rotberti avunculi ducis fratris Reginæ"[241]He made large donations to the monastery of Cîteaux in 1098.  "Odo dux Burgundie", on the point of leaving for Jerusalem, donated property to Saint-Bénigne-de-Dijon "in memorie Hugonis ducis fratris mei…Robertus dux avus meus" by charter dated 1101[242].  He went to Palestine end-1100 with Etienne Comte de Blois and Hugues Comte de Vermandois, but was betrayed by Emperor Alexios and fell into the hands of the Muslims[243].  "Hugo dux Burgundie filius Odonis ducis" donated property to Saint-Bénigne-de-Dijon by charter dated 1102 which specifies that his father died "in itinere Hierosolimitano"[244], presumably misdated if the date of death of Duke Eudes is correctly stated here.  The necrology of Cîteaux records the death "X Kal Apr" of "Odo dux Burgundie"[245]

m (1080) SIBYLLE de Bourgogne, daughter of GUILLAUME II "le Grand" Comte Palatin de Bourgogne & his wife Etiennette --- ([1065]-after 1103).  "Sybilla uxor mea" witnessed the donation to Cluny of "Oddo dux Burgundie", also witnessed by "Wilelmus comes…genitor iam dicte uxoris mee"[246].  Her origin is also recorded by Orderic Vitalis[247].  Nun at the abbey of Fontevraud. 

Duke Eudes I & his wife had four children:

1.         HELIE de Bourgogne ([1080/83]-28 Feb 1141).  She is named by Orderic Vitalis, who also records her parentage, her two marriages and names her eldest son by each marriage[248].  The contract of marriage between "Bertrandus Raimundi filius" and "Electæ" is dated Jun 1095[249].  If this document is correctly dated, it is unlikely that Hélie was born much later than [1080/83].  A bull of Pope Pascal II dated 4 Feb 1107 names "Bertrannus comes" and comments that he had been "propter uxorem abiectam et multiplicata adulteria iamdiu excommunicationi subiectus"[250].  The document gives no more details of these charges, which from the context appear to have been brought some time before the date of the bull, whose main purpose was a threat of further excommunication against Bertrand for having attacked the monastery of Saint-Gilles.  She accompanied her husband to Palestine[251].  Guillaume of Jumièges records that ”Willelmum Talavatium” married “Ala...quæ fuerat antea uxor ducis Burgundiæ” [incorrect], and had “duos filios et totidem filias[252].  "Guido comes Pontivi" donated property to Cîteaux with the consent of "pater eius Willelmus comes…et mater eius Hela" by charter dated 18 Dec 1139[253]m firstly (Jun 1095) as his second wife, BERTRAND de Toulouse, son of RAYMOND IV "de Saint-Gilles" Comte de Toulouse & his first wife --- [de Provence] ([1065]-in Palestine 21 Apr 1112).  Regent for his father in Toulouse from Oct 1096, when the latter left for Palestine.  He succeeded his father in 1105 as BERTRAND Comte de Toulouse.  He conquered Tripoli 12 Jun 1109, declaring himself BERTRAND Count of Tripolim secondly ([late 1112/1115]) [as his second wife,] GUILLAUME [I] "Talvas" Comte de Ponthieu, son of ROBERT [II] Comte d'Alençon Earl of Arundel and Shrewsbury & his wife Agnès Ctss de Ponthieu (-30 Jun 1171, bur La Hoguette, Calvados, église abbatiale de Saint-André). 

2.         [FLEURINE de Bourgogne (-murdered near Philomelum, Asia Minor [1097]).  Albert of Aix records that "Florina…filia ducis Burgundiæ", widow of "Philippensium principi", accompanied the expedition of "Danorum regis filius Sueno" across Asia Minor "sperans post triumphum Fidelium tanto tamque nobili sociari marito" but that they were attacked between Philomelum and Pherna and killed[254].  The dating of the supposed expedition to 1097 is consistent with the context of the passage.  Albert of Aix appears to be the only source which gives any information relating to her.  She is not mentioned in any of the Burgundian sources which have been consulted during the preparation of the present document.  If she did exist, the chronology dictates that Eudes I must have been the duke of Burgundy who was her father.  There appears to be no satisfactory way of identifying her husband "Philippensium principis".  The text of Albert of Aix does not clearly indicate her betrothal to Svend of Denmark, although secondary sources assume that it took place.  It is of course not impossible that Albert´s report is garbled and that, when he left on crusade in late 1100 (see above), Duke Eudes took with him one of his daughters whom he married to a local dignitary.  If that is correct, the expedition during which she was killed must have been different from the one reported by Albert of Aix and the connection with Svend of Denmark (whose participation in the 1097 expedition is also recorded by William of Tyre[255]) doubtful.  Van Kerrebrouck doubts that Fleurine, who "died in Palestine [1102], married to a Macedonian Lord", existed[256]m --- "Philippensium principis" (-before 1097).]  [Betrothed (1097) to SVEND Svendsen of Denmark, son of [SVEND II Estridsen King of Denmark & his first wife Gunhild Sveinsdatter] ([1053]-murdered near Philomelum, Asia Minor 1097).] 

3.         HUGUES de Bourgogne ([1085]-soon after 6 Feb 1143, bur Abbaye de Cîteaux).  His parentage is recorded by Orderic Vitalis[257].  He succeeded his father in 1103 as HUGUES II "Borel/le Pacifique" Duke of Burgundy

m firstly (1165, repudiated 1183) ALIX de Lorraine, daughter of MATHIEU I Duke of Lorraine & his wife Bertha [Judith] von Staufen ([1145]-4 Mar before 1200).  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Aaliz filia Mosellanorum ducis Mathei" as wife of "dux Hugo filius ducis Odonis", although he is referring to Duke Hugues II not Duke Hugues III which is clearly incorrect[365].  In a later passage, the same source correctly names "Aaliz mater ducis Burgundie Odonis uxor…Hugonis et Iutta mater comitis Stephani avia…Iohannis Cabilonensis" as sisters of "dux Symon et Fredericus de Bites et comes Matheus Tullensis et Theodericus"[366].  "Hugo dux Burgundie…Aeliz ducissa Burgundie cum Odone filio meo" donated property to Cîteaux by charter dated 1171[367]The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines also records the repudiation of Alix by her husband[368]Bertha…Lotharingorum ducissa…et filii mei Theodericus, Simon Dux et Marchio, Fredericus, et junior eorum Matthæus, soror quoque ipsorum Aleidis Ducissa Burgundiæ” donated property to Mont Saint-Trinité, for the soul of "viri mei nobilis ducis Matthæi", by charter dated to [1177][369]She returned to Lorraine after her repudiation.  The necrology of Cîteaux records the death "IV Non Mar" of "domina Alaydis quondam ducissa Burgundie"[370]

Ægidii"[371].  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the wife of "Albrico Tailhefer comite Sancti Egidii" was "filia senioris Dalfini" and her second marriage to "dux"[372]The Annales S. Benigni Divionensis record the marriage of Duke Hugues with "Beatricem, filiam Delfini comitis Alboni apud Sanctum Egidium"[373].  She married thirdly ([1193]) Hugues Seigneur de Coligny-le-Neuf.  Her third marriage is confirmed by the following document: Hugo Coloniaci”, leaving for Jerusalem, donated rights in property “apud Siliniacum” to the Chartreuse of Seligna by charter dated 1202, witnessed by “Beatrix ducissa uxor mea...[374].  Valbonnais cites the testament of "la duchesse Beatrix" dated 1228 which names "son héritier le Dauphin André son fils…Matilde sa fille aînée femme de Jean Comte de Chalon…Marguerite son autre fille épouse d´Amedée fils du comte de Savoye"[375]

4.         [ALIX de Bourgogne ([1177]-).  Petit names Alix as fourth child of Duke Hugues III by his first marriage, adding that she married firstly Béraud Seigneur de Mercœur and secondly Robert I Comte de Clermont, without citing any primary sources[382].   This fits with no other information which is available and should be treated with caution.] 

Duke Hugues III & his second wife had [three] children:

5.         ANDRE de Bourgogne (1184-14 Mar 1237, bur Grenoble, église collégiale de Saint-André).  The Aymari Rivalli De Allobrogibus names "Octavium et Andream" as the two sons of "Beatrice relictis Tallifer" and "Hugo Burgundiæ dux"[383].  "Hugo Burgundie dux et Albonii comes" donated property to the Templars at Beaune, with the support of "Beatricis uxoris mee et…filiorum meorum Odonis, Alexandri et Dalphini", by charter dated Dec 1188[384].  Comte de Gap et d'Embrun by right of his first wife in 1202.  He succeeded his mother in 1228 as Comte d'Albon.

6.         MATHILDE de Bourgogne ([1190]-26 Mar before 1242).  Père Anselme records her marriage in 1214 (no source citation)[385].  The source which indicates that Mathilde married in Jan 1214 has not been identified.  Valbonnais cites the testament of "la duchesse Beatrix" dated 1228 which names "son héritier le Dauphin André son fils…Matilde sa fille aînée femme de Jean Comte de Chalon…Marguerite son autre fille épouse d´Amedée fils du comte de Savoye"[386]Joannes comes Cabilonensis” sold property “apud Cabilonem”, received from “Odo dux Burgundie...in maritagio Mathildis sororis” on their marriage, to Hugues IV Duke of Burgundy by charter dated 1232[387].  The necrology of Cîteaux records the death "VII Kal Apr" of "Matildis comitissa Cabilonensis soror Odonis…ducis Burgundie"[388].  Her husband’s second marriage is dated to [1242/43], but Mathilde’s year of death has not been found.  m ([Jan?] 1214) as his first wife, JEAN d'Auxonne, son of ETIENNE III Comte d’Auxonne [Bourgogne-Comté] & his wife Béatrice de Chalon (1190-30 Aug 1267, bur Abbaye de Bourguignon-lès-la Charité, Haute-Saône).  Comte Palatin de Bourgogne [1224].  He succeeded his mother in 1227 and his father in 1241 as JEAN [I] "l'Antique/le Sage" Comte d'Auxonne et de Chalon, Seigneur de Salins.

7.         MARGUERITE de Bourgogne ([1192]-[1228/30] or [1242]).  Valbonnais cites the testament of "la duchesse Beatrix" dated 1228 which names "son héritier le Dauphin André son fils…Matilde sa fille aînée femme de Jean Comte de Chalon…Marguerite son autre fille épouse d´Amedée fils du comte de Savoye"[389]The testament of "Guigo Dalphinus, Vienn. et Albonis comitis", dated 27 Jun 1267, confirmed donations made by "…matertera Margarita vel Domina Ducissa avia mea…meæ amitæ quondam comitissæ Sabaudiæ"[390]It is not clear from this document whether "matertera Margarita" and "meæ amitæ quondam comitissæ Sabaudiæ" refer to the same person as they are named in the context of two separate donations in different parts of the testament.  The use of "matertera" and "amitæ" as two different terms to express the relationship "aunt" suggests that they may have been different individuals.  Valbonnais assumes that they were the same person, "Marguerite sœur du dauphin André" who married "Amé fils de Thomas Comte de Savoie", and adds that "la duchesse Beatrix" named "son héritier le Dauphin André son fils…Matilde sa fille aînée femme de Jean Comte de Chalon…Marguerite son autre fille épouse d´Amedée fils du comte de Savoye" in her testament dated 1228[391].  If the suggested second marriage of Comte Amedée is correctly shown in the document SAVOY, Marguerite de Bourgogne must have died in [1228/30].  If it is incorrect, her date of death is estimated to [1242].  m (1222) as his first wife, AMEDEE de Savoie, son of THOMAS I Comte de Savoie & his wife Marguerite [Béatrix] de Genève (Montmélian, Savoie 1197-Montmélian 24 Jun or 13 Jul 1253, bur Hautecombe, abbaye royale de Sainte-Marie).  He succeeded his father in 1233 as AMEDEE IV Comte de Savoie

 

 

EUDES de Bourgogne, son of HUGUES III Duke of Burgundy & his first wife Alix de Lorraine (1166-Lyon 15 Jun or 6 Jul 1218, bur Abbaye de Cîteaux).  "Hugo dux Burgundie…Aeliz ducissa Burgundie cum Odone filio meo" donated property to Cîteaux by charter dated 1171[392].  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Odonem et Alexandrum" as sons of "dux" by his first wife "Aaliz"[393].  "Hugo Burgundie dux et Albonii comes" donated property to the Templars at Beaune, with the support of "Beatricis uxoris mee et…filiorum meorum Odonis, Alexandri et Dalphini", by charter dated Dec 1188[394].  "Hugo…dux Burgundiæ et Albonii comes" confirmed "[cum] assensu filiorum meorum Oddonis et Alexandri" the concession to Cluny by "consanguineæ meæ Matildi comitissæ Tornodori" by charter dated 1186[395].  He governed Burgundy during his father's absence on Crusade from Jun 1190.  “Odo filius Hugonis ducis Burgundie” granted privileges to the abbey of Autun Saint-Martin by charter dated 1191[396].  He succeeded his father in 1192 as EUDES III Duke of Burgundy.  He acquired the powerful fortress of Vergy by his second marriage in 1199.  He renounced any rights over the duchy of Lorraine in 1203.  He commanded a division at the battle of Bouvines in 1213.  The Annales S. Benigni Divionensis record the death in 1218 of "Oddo dux Burgundie cruce signatus…filius ducisse Lotoringie"[397].  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the death in 1218 of "dux Odo Burgundie" and his burial "apud Cistercium"[398].  The 13th century obituary of the Eglise primatiale de Lyon records the death "II Non Jul" of "Odo dux Burgundie canonicus huius ecclesie qui dedit Sancto Stephano calicem argenteum deauratum et vestimentum sacerdotale…"[399].  The necrology of Molesme records the death "XVII Kal Jul" of "Odo dux Burgundie"[400].  He died on his way to rejoin the Crusades[401]

m firstly (Feb 1194, divorced on grounds of consanguinity 1195) as her second husband, Infanta dona MAFALDA de Portugal Ctss of Flanders, widow of PHILIPPE Count of Flanders, daughter of dom AFONSO I King of Portugal & his wife Mathilde [Mafalda] de Savoie (1157-drowned off Furnes, West Flanders 16 May 1218, bur Abbaye de Clairvaux, Jura).  The Flandria Generosa specifies that on her (first) marriage she was given "Insulam et Duacum et plures…villas…iacentes, Caslethuin, Watenes, Bergas, Burburgium, totamque maritimmam regionem"[402].  The Flandria Generosa names "Mathildis regine Portusequalis" as wife of Count Philippe, specifying that she arranged the repatriation of her husband's body to "Claramvallem"[403]After the death of her first husband, she received her widow's portion in southern and coastal Flanders but increased taxes so much that she provoked rebellions at Veurne [Furnes] and the castellany of Bourbourg[404].  A charter dated 1195 records an agreement between the French king and "M. regina comitissa Flandrie" which records that the latter promised not to remarry after separating from "Odone duce Burgundie"[405].  The Flandria Generosa records that she was "amita" of "Fernando filio regis Portusequalis" and instrumental in arranging his marriage to her first husband's great-niece Jeanne Ctss of Flanders[406].  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the death in 1218 of "comitissa vetus de Flandria relicta comitis Philippi" and her burial next to her husband at Clairvaux[407].  She died when her carriage accidentally fell into a marsh near Furnes[408]

Duke Eudes III & his second wife had [three] children:

1.         JEANNE de Bourgogne ([1200/10]-shortly after 1222, bur Abbaye de Foucarmont)The Chronique des comtes d´Eu, written in 1390, records that Alix Ctss d´Eu married "son filz [Raoul de Yssouldun] à la fille du duc de Bourgongne" in 1222, but that she died soon afterwards[417]The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified.  m (1222) as his first wife, RAOUL [II] de Lusignan Comte d'Eu, son of RAOUL de Lusignan dit d'Issoudun Comte d'Eu & his wife Alix Ctss d'Eu (-[1/2] Sep 1246). 

2.         HUGUES de Bourgogne (9 Mar 1213-château de Villaines-en-Duesmois, Côtes d'Or 27 or 30 Oct 1272, bur Abbaye de Cîteaux)The Annales S. Benigni Divionensis record the birth "Anno 1212 VII Idus Marcii, VI feria ante mediam noctem anno bisextili" of "Hugo filius Oddonis ducis de domina de Vergerie"[418].  He succeeded his father in 1218 as HUGUES IV Duke of Burgundy

-        see below

3.         [[BEATRIX] de Bourgogne ([1216/18] or before-).  It is unlikely that this person existed.  Guichenon identifies the wife of Humbert [III] as “Béatrix de Bourgogne Dame de Montreal, d’Arbent et de Martigna en Bugey...fille d’Eudes III...et d’Alix de Vergy”, citing “deux sçavans historiens de nostre temps, mais ils la nomment mal, Alix de Bourgogne[419].  Guichenon does not identify the “deux...historiens”, but Duchesne names “Alix de Bourgogne” (whom he associates with an epitaph at Cîteaux recording her death in 1266) as a daughter of Duke Eudes III (no marriage specified)[420], as does Père Anselme who says she died “fille en 1266” citing the same Cîteaux epitaph[421].  The chronology suggests that Guichenon is unlikely to be correct.  Béatrix’s supposed father died in 1218, placing her birth in [1216/18] at the latest, while her supposed husband was still a minor in 1254: such an age difference between the wife and her husband would have been unusual.  The family origin of a wife of Humbert is confirmed by the book of fees of the church of Lyon which records “domino de Villars et de Thoiré” holding “tota terra Montisregalis quæ est ultra Sagonam...usque ad Gebennas” which he received “in dotem suæ uxoris sororis ducis Burgundiæ[422], but this may refer to Humbert’s wife Marguerite.  m [as his first wife,] HUMBERT [III] Seigneur de Thoire et Villars, son of ETIENNE [II] Seigneur de Thoire et Villars & his wife Beatrix de Faucigny ([after 1235]-14 May 1301, bur Saint-Claude).]

Chapter 5.    DUKES of BURGUNDY (VALOIS)

 

 

The primary sources which confirm the parentage and marriages of the members of this family have not yet been identified, unless otherwise stated below.  The illegitimate children of this family and their descendants present particular difficulty.  Few primary sources have been identified which confirm their family relationships, the reconstructions shown below depending on secondary sources such as Père Anselme, Reiffenberg, Van Kerrebrouck, and Moilon & Canaye (whose work is particularly dubious, as will be seen).  The illegitimate lines were studied by Bergé in 1955[567].  His work has not been seen, but it appears that his conclusions were incorporated by Van Kerrebrouck in his study of the Valois family[568]

j)           JEAN de Bourgogne (-after 1477).  Père Anselme records his parentage and mention in 1477 (no source cited)[644].  Van Kerrebrouck records his parentage, also noting that he was named in 1477 (no source cited, but the date suggests that he was named in his father’s 25 Dec 1477 testament noted above)[645]

k)          PHILIPPE de Bourgogne .  Van Kerrebrouck records his parentage but provides no other information (no sources cited)[646]

Jean had one illegitimate child by Mistress (7):

l)           GOEDE de Bourgogne (-[after 1495?]).  Van Kerrebrouck records her parentage and marriage, noting that she was brought up by “Marguerite Noortshagen, béguine à Malines, elle vivait encore en 1518 dans une ‘extrême pauvreté’” (no sources cited)[647].  Père Anselme records her marriage, noting that she was recorded as a widow “en 1595, comme il paroît dans un titre de cette année” (no sources cited, presumably 1595 is an error for 1495)[648].  m MICHEL de Leeuw, son of --- (-[before 1495?]).

Duke Jean had three illegitimate children by Mistress (2)[655]

10.       GUY bâtard de Bourgogne (-[killed] Calais 1436).  Père Anselme records Guy as the son of Duke Jean, but does not name his mother[656]Van Kerrebrouck names Guy as son of Duke Jean by Margareta van Borselen, records his birth 1406 at Dijon, and baptism at Dijon Saint-Bénigne (no source cited)[657].  Moilon & Canaye record Guy as the son of Duke Jean by his mistress Agnès de Croÿ[658].  Heer van Kruibeke[659]Père Anselme records that Henry VI King of England granted him property in 1423 in compensation for his services[660].  Van Kerrebrouck records his place and date of death (no source cited)[661].  Moilon & Canaye say that “il fut enfin tué par le Duc de Bedford…Regent en France” (no source cited, but this statement is inconsistent with Guy’s date of death as the duke died 15 Sep 1435)[662]m ([contract Mons 1430]) JOHANNA, illegitimate, daughter of ALBERT Comte de Hainaut, Count of Holland & his mistress ---.   Van Kerrebrouck records her parentage and marriage (no source cited)[663].  Moilon & Canaye date the marriage “contracté à Mons l’an 1430” (no source cited)[664]The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified.  Guy & his wife had [three children]: 

a)         PHILIPPE de Bourgogne (-[before Jun 1463?])Père Anselme records his parentage, adding that he died childless (no sources cited)[665].  Van Kerrebrouck records no information about Philippe except his name[666].  Heer van Kruibeke.  His date of death is suggested assuming that his wife’s second marriage is as suggested below.  The other possibility noted below is that Philippe did not marry at all, in which case no indication has been found of his date of death.  [m [as her first husband?] ANNA van Baenst, daughter of JAN van Baenst Seigneur de Saint-Georges & his wife Marguerite de Seneres.  It is uncertain whether Philippe married.  Père Anselme records “Anne de Baenst, fille de Jean, seigneur de S. Georges, et de Marguerite de Seneres” as his wife (no sources cited)[667]: the primary source which confirms this information has not been identified.  Van Kerrebrouck records no marriage for Philippe[668], but in another section he names “Anne van Baenst, daughter of Jean-Jacques van Baenst, seigneur de Saint-Georges, et de Marguerite van Severen, dite de Heemstede” as the wife of Philippe bâtard de Brabant, dating the marriage at Bruges 12 Jun 1463 (no source cited)[669]: her parentage and marriage are confirmed by primary sources (follow the hyperlink below)  The similarity between the Anselme and Van Kerrebrouck entries suggests that they refer to the same person.  There are two possibilities: (1) Philippe de Bourgogne did not marry, and Anna was only the wife of Philippe de Brabant; or (2) Anna van Baenst married firstly Philippe de Bourgogne Herr van Kruibeke, and secondly (Bruges 12 Jun 1463) Philippe bâtard de Brabant.  Philippe de Brabant’s later installation as Heer van Kruibeke suggests that this second possibility may be correct, assuming that he was granted the fief in succession to his wife’s first husband. 

[same person as…?  PHILIPPE de Bourgogne ([Gent 7 Mar 1434]-[Antwerp 1465], bur [Kruibeke]).  Despite Kruibeke passing to the Brabant family as noted above (which suggests that Philippe de Bourgogne had no children), Moilon & Canaye published in 1665 their report about his supposed children (by a different wife from Anna van Baenst) who, they say, were ancestors of the Lambermont family[670].  The authors cite no primary sources which corroborate their information, except for a document supposedly issued by King Louis XIV (which appears suspect, as discussed below under his supposed wife).  Their report contradicts the tradition (which is also dubious) that the Lambermonts descended from Henri, third son of Thierry de Bourgogne (great-grandson of Jean bâtard de Bourgogne Bishop of Cambrai) and his wife Jacqueline van Royen (discussed below under the SEIGNEURS de HERLAER).  As neither of these supposed Lambermont descents is based on reliable primary source material, it is impossible to verify their accuracy.  Until more trustworthy information comes to light, both descents should be treated with caution.  Moilon & Canaye record Philippe’s place and date of birth (as shown above), noting that “Jean de Bourgongne Evesque de Cambray son oncle paternel prit soin de son education durant son jeune âge, et le fit instruire en l’Université de Louvain”, and noting that he was later “Gruyer de Brabant…Capitaine et…Gouverneur en la Comté de Bourgongne”; they also record his place and date of death, and place of burial as shown above (no source cited)[671]m (contract Mechelen 10 Jun 1458) ALBERTINE de Saint-Lambert Dame de Lambermont, daughter of CHARLES de Saint-Lambert & his wife Marie de Bermont.  Moilon & Canaye record “Albertine de S. Lambert, fille et seule heritiere de Charles de S. Lambert, commandeur de la ville de Dole, et de Marie de Bermont son espouse” as Philippe's wife, noting their marriage contract “passé à Malines le x. jour de juin, l’an 1458”, with “la terre, chasteau et seigneurie de Lambermont size lez Limbourg” as her dowry on condition that their descendants adopted the name Lambermont and the arms “de Saint Lambert et de Bermont équartelées” (no source citations)[672].  No other source has been found which corroborates this information.  Moilon & Canaye name this couple’s three children (1) “Antoine de Bourgongne, fils aisné…naquit en la ville de Liege le 12 jour de may l’an 1454” who died “sans alliance à Lambermont, où il fut enterré”, succeeded by (2) “Henry son frere…nay à Malines le 17, jour d’octobre l’an 1460…ses pere et mere luy avoient deslors donné et fait prendre le nom de leur dite terre feodale de Lambermont” who married “Louyse de Monlambert, dite de Cerey, fille aisnée d’Arnould de Monlambert, originaire du pays de Guyene, Bourg-maistre à Liege…et de Louyse de Grimberg son espouse” at Brussels 3 Jan 1497, and who died at Lambermont in 1530, and (3) “Albertine, mariée à Hugues de Bermont, et n’eurent nulle lignée” (no source citations)[673].  Moilon & Canaye record Antoine’s supposed descendants, including his supposed grandson “Henry de Lambermont…naquit en la ville d’Aix en Allemagne, l’an 1557…conduit de ce païs-là…en la prinicipauté de Sedan” who died “à Sedan l’an 1637. aagé d’environ 80. ans” (no source citations)[674].  This Henri de Lambermont was the same person whom Père Anselme identified as Henri, third son of Thierry de Bourgogne-Herlaer.  Moilon & Canaye based this alleged descent on supposed letters issued by Louis XIV, dated 12 Aug 1664 which they reproduce in full[675].  However, parts of that document appear remarkably similar to the king’s letters dated May 1657 which invited the Lambermont family to submit proof of their Bourgogne-Herlaer ancestry (see the Herlaer section of the present document).  The Lambermonts never produced that proof, and the suspicion is inevitable that a later member of the family identified the Bourgogne-Kruibeke family as suitable alternative ancestors and fabricated the Aug 1664 document.]

12.       PHILIPPA [Philippote] bâtarde de Bourgogne (-29 Apr 1461).  Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage, noting that the couple’s descendants “finit en la personne d’Antoine, seigneur de Rochebaron, comte de Berzé” who appointed as his universal heir “Antoine d’Aumont, marquis de Villequier, depuis duc, pair et maréchal de France” provided he adopted the arms of Rochebaron (no sources cited)[679].  Dame de Joncy.  Van Kerrebrouck records her marriage contract date (no source cited)[680].  She married 16 Aug 1429[681].  Antoine de Rochebaron “reçut par assignation la seigneurie d’Avesnes-le-Comte au comté d’Artois” 7 Sep 1429[682].  Philippote and her husband accompanied Maria van Gelre to Scotland 12 Jun 1449 for her marriage to King James II, returning “au port de l’Ecluse” 16 Jul 1449[683].  Philippote was governess of Marie de Bourgogne, Johann von Kleve (later Johann Duke of Kleve), and Philipp von Kleve (son of Adolf von Kleve Herr von Ravenstein) in 1459[684].  Philippote died 29 Apr 1461[685]m (contract 30 Jul 1429, 16 Aug 1429) ANTOINE de Rochebaron Seigneur de Berzé-le-Châtel [en Mâconnais], son of MACE de Rochebaron Seigneur de Berzé-le-Châtel [en Mâconnais] & his wife Alix de Roussillon (-16 Oct 1463).  Van Kerrebrouck records his parentage (no source cited)[686].  Charles Rocher studied the Rochebaron family in 1881[687].  Antoine de Rochebaron “reçut par assignation la seigneurie d’Avesnes-le-Comte au comté d’Artois” 7 Sep 1429[688].  Antoine de Rochebaron “reçut par assignation la seigneurie d’Avesnes-le-Comte au comté d’Artois” 7 Sep 1429[689].  Rocher records Antoine’s death 16 Oct 1463, noting that his patrimony was divided between his sons Gérard and Claude (no source cited)[690]

Duke Philippe III & his second wife had one child:

Duke Philippe III & his third wife had three children:

2.         ANTOINE de Bourgogne (Brussels [early Jan] 1431-5 Feb 1432, bur Brussels).  Père Anselme records the dates and places of his birth (30 Sep 1430) and death, and the place of his burial, without citing the corresponding primary sources[723].  The following document shows that the date of birth given by Anselme is incorrect: the chapter of Brussels Sainte-Gudule authorised the baptism of “primogenitus Ducis...Burgundie et Brabantie...domini nostri, et sue conthoralis, ducisse...ut novus partus ipsorum...baptisari posset”, to avoid the dangers of the infant travelling for baptism, by charter dated 16 Jan 1430 (O.S.)[724].  The date of birth is not specified, but “novus partus” suggests that he was born a few days earlier, presumably in early January.  A document dated 20 Feb 1457 (N.S.) recalls the baptism in 1431 (N.S.) of “primogenitus [de Philippe le Bon et d’Isabelle de Portugal]...Anthonius[725].  Comte de Charolais.

a)         MARIE de Bourgogne (Brussels 13 Feb 1457-Bruges 27 Mar 1482, bur Bruges).  By document dated 20 Feb 1457 (N.S.), the chapter of Brussels Sainte-Gudule granted the request made by “domino Carolo, comiti de Charolais” for the baptism of “eorundem dominorum ducis et duxisse filius...unicus [presumably instead of filia...unica]...novus partus[737].  Marie’s first possible betrothal is confirmed by the Chronique Scandaleuse of Louis XI which records that in May 1472 “le Duc de Calabre nepueu du Roy de Cecille et de Ierusalem”, to whom “le Roy avoit...donner sa fille aisnee en femme et espouse”, left “sa duchié de Lorraine” to visit “[le] Duc de Bourgongne pour traicter d’avoir et espouser sa fille”, abandoning “ladicte fille du Roy sa femme[738].  It is uncertain from this text whether the negotiations ended in a betrothal.  She succeeded her father in 1477 as Dss de Brabant, Limburg, Luxembourg, Ctss of Flanders, Artois, Hainaut, Holland, Seeland and Friesland, Dame de Malines, Ctss Palatine de Bourgogne, Mgfn van Antwerpen, Dame de Salins.  The Chronique Scandaleuse of Louis XI records the death, in 1482, of “madame la Contesse de Flandres et Artois, fille du feu Duc Charles de Bourgongne, femme du Duc en Auteriche, et niepce de messeigneurs de Bourbon”, leaving “ung fils et une fille” who remained “en la garde des Flamens en la ville de Gant[739].  She died after falling from her horse.  [Betrothed (May 1472, contract broken) to NICOLAS d'Anjou Duca di Calabria, son of JEAN d'Anjou Duca di Calabria & his wife Marie de Bourbon (Nancy [1/7] Jul 1448-Nancy 27 Jul 1473, bur Nancy Saint-Georges).]  m (Ghent 19 Aug 1477) as his first wife, MAXIMILIAN von Habsburg, son of Emperor FRIEDRICH III King of the Romans, Duke of Inner Austria & his wife Infanta dona Leonor de Portugal (Burg zu Neustadt 22 Mar 1459-Wels 12 Jan 1519).  Duke of Burgundy 20 Aug 1477, by right of his wife.  He was elected MAXIMILIAN I King of the Romans 16 Feb 1486 at Nürnberg, crowned 9 Apr 1486 at Aachen.  He succeeded his father in 1493 as MAXIMILIAN I Archduke of Austria.  He was elected Emperor 4 Feb 1508 at Trient. 

b)         son ([mid-Nov] 1462-young).  The chapter of Brussels Sainte-Gudule authorised the baptism of “un autre enfant du comte de Charolais” [who was recently born] by charter dated 24 Nov 1462[740].  This son presumably died young as no other reference to him has been found.  No record has been found of his baptismal name, assuming that he survived long enough for the baptism to take place. 

Duke Philippe III had two illegitimate children by Mistress (1): 

5.          CORNEILLE bâtard de Bourgogne “le grand bâtard de Bourgogne” ([1420]-killed in battle Rupelmonde 16 Jun 1452).  Jolivet records his birth “vers 1420” (no source cited)[741]The testament of “Philippus...dux Burgundiæ...”, dated Dec 1441, bequeathed property to "Cornelio filio nostro naturali...Antonio...filio nostro naturali...Mariæ fliæ nostræ naturali...alteri nostræ filiæ naturali...quæ nunc...in domon Petri du Chesne...filiæ nostræ naturali quæ nunc in Flandria..."[742]Heer van Beveren.  Governor of the duchy of Luxembourg.  Mistress (1): MARGUERITE Corbaulde, daughter of ---.  Reiffenberg names her as mother of Corneille’s two children shown below (no source cited)[743].  Corneille had two illegitimate children by Mistress (1):

ii)          MARIE de Bourgogne (-29 Nov 1542)Reiffenberg (naming her “Marguerite”) records her parentage and marriage, together with her supposed second marriage (no sources cited)[750].  The Marquis de Trazegnies disproves her supposed second marriage in 1494 with Karel van Gruutere Heer van Exaerde, noting that her husband Arnaud de Hamal was recorded as living in 1496 and died 5 Nov 1505, after which his widow was recorded as burggravin van Arnemuiden in 1515, although he does not exclude the possibility that the couple married after 1505[751]m ([1490]) ARNAUD de Hamal Seigneur d’Ermude, son of ANSEAU de Hamal Seigneur de Trazegnies & his wife Maria van Arnemuiden (-5 Nov 1505).

C.      SEIGNEURS de FALLAIS

 

 

The following is an outline only of the Bourgogne-Fallais family into which more primary source data and information about other family members can be inserted when it emerges.  The information has mainly been copied from Père Anselme[809], unless otherwise shown below. 

 

 

BAUDOUIN bâtard de Bourgogne dit de Lille, illegitimate son of PHILIPPE III Duke of Burgundy & his mistress Catherine Thieffries (Lille [1436]-Brussels May 1508, bur Fallais).  Van Kerrebrouck dates his birth at Lille “vers 1436” (no source cited)[810].  Père Anselme records his birth “à Lille environ l’an 1445” (no source cited)[811].  Poswick provides some details about Baudouin’s career[812].  Vicomte d'Orbec, Seigneur de Fallais: Maximilian I Archduke of Austria, King of the Romans granted Fallais 26 Jan 1501 to Baudouin de Bourgogne[813].  The testament of “Bauduin, bâtard de Bourgogne”, dated 10 Oct 1508, bequeathed property to “Philippe, Charles, Maximilien, Marguerite, Jeanne et Anne, ses enfants légitimes...François son fils naturel, né de Jacqueline de Gavre, Phelipotte sa fille naturelle et d’un enfant illégitime à naître de ladite Jacqueline[814].  Van Kerrebrouck records his death “Bruxelles mai 1508” and place of burial (no sources cited)[815].  This date of death contradicts the date of his testament, unless the date assigned to that document was the date when it was proved not written.  This apparent contradiction has not been resolved. 

m ([1488]) doña MARÍA Manuel [de la Cerda], daughter of [don JUAN Manuel [de Villena] [de la Cerda Señor de Belmonte y Campos] & his wife doña [Aldonza/Juana] de Figueroa].  Marie Manuel” is named (without recording her parentage) as Baudouin’s wife in the Mar 1509 document cited below under her children.  Her precise parentage is difficult to assess.  The 3rd edition of Père Anselme records that the first edition of the work (compiled by Anselme himself) named “Marie Manuel de la Cerda, fille de Jean Manuel de la Cerda, seigneur de Belmonte et de Campos, chevalier de la toison d’or, et de Jeanne de Figueroa” as Baudouin’s wife “d’après MM. de Sainte-Marthe, qui la nommoient Marine, ce qui a été suivi par M. du Fourny” and highlights that “outre que Jean Manuel créé chevalier de la toison d’or en 1505 et mort en 1536 n’est point surnommé de la Cerda” it seems surprising that he should be the father-in-law of Baudouin given the latter’s dates.  It also points out that the wife of Juan Manuel, knight of the toison d’or, was named “Catherine de Roxas dans le blason des chevaliers de la toison d’or p. 135”, and concludes by suggesting that Baudouin in fact married “[la] sœur du chevalier de la toison d’or, tous deux enfants de Jean Manuel de Villena et d’Aldonza de Figueroa[816].  Van Kerrebrouck (who does not discuss the points raised in Anselme) names her “Maria Manuel de la Cerda, f. de Juan Manuel de la Cerda, seigneur de Belmonte et de Campos, chev. de l’o. de la Toison d’or…et de Juana de Figueroa” and dates the marriage to “vers 1488” (no source cited)[817].  Unfortunately the data concerning María’s “Manuel” family is insufficient to speculate sensibly on what might be the correct answer, although the supposed chronological difficulty is uncertain as the dates indicate that Baudouin must in any case have been considerably older than his wife.  It should also be borne in mind that by the late-15th century the practice among nobles in Spain of adopting the patronymics of illustrious ancestors, not necessarily in the direct agnatic line, was becoming established.  In that case, the names “de la Cerda” and “Manuel” may not indicate María’s original family name. 

Mistress (1): CATHERINE d’Ayelle [d’Ayette?], daughter of ---.  Père Anselme records that “le Roux roy d’armes de Flandres” names “Catherine d’Ayette” as the mother of Baudouin’s daughter Marine [Marie][818].  Van Kerrebrouck names her “Catherine d’Ayelle” (no source cited)[819].  The naming of Baudouin’s mistress Jacqueline de Gavre in his testament, which also bequeathed property to their third child not yet born, suggests that their relationship may have been ongoing for several years at that time.  If that is correct, it is possible that Baudouin’s relationships with his two other mistresses predated Jacqueline. 

Mistress (2): ---.  The name of Baudouin’s second mistress is not known.  The naming of Baudouin’s mistress Jacqueline de Gavre in his testament, which also bequeathed property to their third child not yet born, suggests that their relationship may have been ongoing for several years at that time.  If that is correct, it is possible that Baudouin’s relationships with his two other mistresses predated Jacqueline. 

Mistress (3): JACQUELINE de Gavre, daughter of GODEFROI de Gavre dit Pinchart [II] Seigneur de Frésin et d’Ollignies & his wife Marie van Gistel ([1476/77]-1558, bur Brussels Saint-Michel).  She is named as mother of Baudouin’s illegitimate children in his testament cited above.  Père Anselme (naming her “Catherine”) records her death “en 1558, âgée de 81 ans” (no source cited)[820].  Van Kerrebrouck records her parentage and place of burial (no sources cited)[821]

Baudouin & his wife had seven children:

m ([Brussels 1450[881]]) JEANNE de Horne, illegitimate daughter of FILIP van Horne Seigneur de Baucigny, Heer van Gaesbeek & his mistress [Françoise de Hondesckotte] (-after 14 Nov 1514).  Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage, noting that she was the daughter of “Françoise de Hondesckotte” (no source cited)[882].  Van Kerrebrouck records Jeanne as illegitimate daughter of “Guillaume, alias Philippe, légitimé de Hornes, et d’Hélène Gilloen [shown in the document DUTCH NOBILITY as Jeanne’s sister-in-law]” but adds that “Certains croient Jeanne de Hornes filles de Philippe de Hornes, chev., seigneur de Beaudignies [Baucigny], Hondschoote, Gaesbeek, et de Françoise de Hondschoote, tels le manuscrit De Jonghe, fo. 165[883]The chronology of the Horne family indicates that she was more likely the daughter of Filip, as shown by Goethals (who does not name Jeanne’s mother)[884]Moilon & Canaye record the couple’s marriage contract “passé à Bruxelles l’an 1450” (no source citation)[885], the date being incompatible with one suggested birth date of the couple’s oldest son shown below.  A document dated 14 Nov 1514 records the division of the succession of “feu noble seigneur Jean de Bourgoingnien, vivant chevalier, seigneur d’Herlaer, et de dame Jeanne de Horne, époux et épouse leurs père et mère” between “Philippe, Charles et Godefroi[886], indicating that Jeanne was living at that date as she was not “feue”.  Jean & his wife had six children: 

1.         PHILIPPE de Bourgogne ([Vilvoorde 1445 or 1451]-after 14 Nov 1514).  Van Kerrebrouck shows his date and place of birth (no source cited)[887], although the date appears inconsistent with the marriage date of Philippe’s parents shown above.  Moilon & Canaye record his birth “à Villevorde l’an 1451” (no source cited)[888]Seigneur de HerlaerMoilon & Canaye record that “Il fut tué à la bataille de Nancy, l’an 1477, estant employé au service de Charles dernier Duc de Bourgongne” (no source cited)[889], this information being incompatible with the 14 Nov 1514 document cited below.  He divided his parents’ succession with his brothers under the 14 Nov 1514 charter cited above under their mother, in which he was named “noble seigneur Philips van Bourgoingnien, fils de feu noble seigneur Jean de Bourgoingnen, seigneur d’Herlaer, chevalier[890]m BARBE van der Eede, daughter of [CORNELIUS van der Eede, bailly de Bruxelles & his wife Jacqueline de Bermont].  Van Kerrebrouck records her family origin and marriage (no source cited)[891]Moilon & Canaye record her supposed parents’ names (no source cited)[892], information which has not been verified.  Philippe & his wife had [two] children: 

a)         CORNEILLE de Bourgogne .  Van Kerrebrouck records his parentage and death “sans alliance” (no date, no source cited)[893]Moilon & Canaye say that he succeeded his father [which is incompatible with the latter’s mention 14 Nov 1514, noted above], and names his illegitimate daughter “Laurence…religieuse benedictine à Bruxelles, où elle mourut” born to his consubine “Claudine Bequer, fille de Guillaume Bequer et de Nicole Barré du païs de Cerey” (no source cited)[894], information which has not been verified..

2.         CORNEILLE de Bourgogne (-after 24 Dec 1506).  Van Kerrebrouck records his parentage and notes his father bequeathing him “les deux tiers de son héritage”, citing “relief du 23-6-1533[896]

3.         MARGUERITE de Bourgogne .  Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage (no source cited)[897].  Van Kerrebrouck records her marriage date (no source cited)[898]m (6 Sep 1490) JACQUES de Jauche de Mastaing Seigneur de Geet, son of JEAN de Jauche Seigneur d’Assche & his wife ---. 

4.         CHARLES de Bourgogne ([Mechelen 14--]-Vilvoorde 1535, bur Vilvoorde Notre-Dame).  Moilon & Canaye record Charles as his parents’ third son “surnommé de Montricourt” and his birth “à Malines le 7. juin l’an 15—“ [year incorrect], adding that he succeeded as seigneur de Herlaer after the death of his nephew Cornelius [probably also incorrect, as Cornelius likely predeceased his father, see above] (no sources cited)[899]Père Anselme records his parentage, noting that he was “grand fauconnier et prévôt general de Brabant, Mayeur de Vilworden" (no source cited)[900].  He divided his parents’ succession with his brothers under the 14 Nov 1514 charter cited above under their mother.  Seigneur de Herlaer.  Van Kerrebrouck records his year and place of death, and place of burial (citing his epitaph)[901]m CATHERINE van Aelst, daughter of [HENRI van Aelst or DIRK van Aelst] & his wife [Françoise Féry/---] (-bur Vilvoorde Notre-Dame).  Père Anselme records her family origin and marriage (no source cited)[902].  Moilon & Canaye name her parents “Henry de Aelst, et…Françoise Fery son espouse de la ville de Mets…auquel païs leur contrat de mariage fut passé” (no sources cited)[903]A document dated 5 Jul 1530 records “jouffrouwe Goude van Alst, fille de feu Dirick, veuve de feu Claude Dampmartin” granting revenue to “joncker Charles van Bourgoingnen geheeren van Herlaer, fils de feu heeren Jans van Bourgoingnen en son vivant  heere van Herlaer, ridder, et de jouffrouwe Catelyne vam Alst sa veuve[904]: was Catherine therefore Goude’s sister?  Van Kerrebrouck quotes the epitaph which records her place of burial with her husband[905].  Charles & his wife had one child: 

a)         THIERRY de Bourgogne (-1562, before 18 Jun, bur Vilvoorde).  Père Anselme records his parentage, noting that he was “grand gruyer et prévôt general de Brabant, et mayeur de Vilworden" (no source cited)[906].  Seigneur de HerlaerMoilon & Canaye record the deaths of Thierry and his wife “l’an 1562” and their burial “en l’église de Villeworde” (no sources cited)[907]He was named as deceased in the 18 Jun 1562 document cited below.  m JACQUELINE van Royen [Dame de Lambermont], daughter of OLIVIER van Royen Heer van Paddeschot & his wife Marguerite Rops (-1562, before 18 Jun, bur Vilvoorde).  Père Anselme records her family origin, marriage, year of death, and place of burial (no sources cited)[908].  Van Kerrebrouck names her parents as shown above[909]Moilon & Canaye name her “fille puisnée de Matthieu de Royen et de Marie de Saint Lambert son espouse” (no sources cited)[910][In another section, Père Anselme records Jacqueline as “dame de Lambermont au duché de Limbourg[911].  This mention is linked to the alleged co-identity of her son Henri with Henri de Lambermont (see below).  No other document has been found which confirms that Jacqueline ever held Lambermont, so Anselme’s statement remains unverified.]  Moilon & Canaye record the deaths of Thierry and his wife “l’an 1562” and their burial “en l’église de Villeworde” (no sources cited)[912]She was recorded as deceased in the 18 Jun 1562 document cited below under her son Frédéric.  Thierry & his wife had six children: 

i)          CHARLES de Bourgogne (-Soignes ----, after 18 Jun 1562, bur Brussels Sainte-Gudule).  Moilon & Canaye record his parentage “Gruyers en Brab.”, that Charles and his brother Philippe were “tués dans le bois de Soigne”, and were buried “à Ste Gudule, Chapel S. Sebast.” (no sources cited)[913]If that is correct, Charles died after 18 Jun 1562 even though he is not mentioned in the document of that date recorded below under his brother Frédéric.  It is not known why Charles would not have participated in the succession agreement, unless his father had already appointed him as his heir under his own testament (no reference to that testament has been found). 

ii)         FREDERIC de Bourgogne (-1594).  A document dated 18 Jun 1562 names “les seigneurs Frederick, Hendrick et Philippe, Dames Magdalaine et Elisabeth de Bourgoingne nommé de Herlaer, enfans de feu seigneur Dirick de Bourgoingne nommé de Herlaer…des quels étoit mere feue Dame Jacqueline van Royen…comme heritiers…de ladite feue Dame[914].  Van Kerrebrouck records Frédéric as “écuyer, châtelain et chef mayeur de Vilvorde”, that “il fait relief pour le Nedermolen le 22-12-1565”, and that “il demeure à Enghien (Hainaut) suite à son mariage” (which he dates 1565), as well as his year of death (no sources cited)[915]m (1565) ISABELLE Pletincx, daughter of JEAN Pletincx “bourgeois marchand à Enghien” & his wife Margriete Sweerts (-[1626]).  Moilon & Canaye name her “Elisabeth de Lumay, fille de Jean de Lumay, dict de Pletinq et de Marguerite ou Anne Tevveets” (no sources cited)[916]Van Kerrebrouck records her parentage, marriage (husband as shown above), marriage date, and date of death (no sources cited)[917]

iii)        HENRI de Bourgogne (-before 15 Feb 1595, or [Limburg ----, bur Limburg]).  He was named in the 18 Jun 1562 document cited above.  Van Kerrebrouck records him as Seigneur de Herlaer, and grand mayeur de Vilvoorde from Apr 1565 but notes that he was replaced as such “à la Saint-Jean 1580, et depuis on perd sa trace[919].   “Joncker Henrick van Bourgoignien, geheeren van Herlaer, meyere der voorschreve stadt van Vilvoorde ende Jouffrouwe Barbelen Bohoven [et son épouse] Bochom vulgo Bochoven” bought “la Grande Maison de Herlaer” 2 Oct 1566 and later sold it to his sister Madeleine[920].   Moilon & Canaye record that he “acquit la seigneurie de Ophem les Malines en eschange d’autres terres” and that he died “à Limbourg l’an ---- où il fut inhumé” (no sources cited)[921].  He was named deceased in his widow’s 15 Feb 1595 charter cited below.  m BARBARA van Boxhoorn, alias Bochom/Bochoven, daughter of LEONHARD Seigneur de Grammont et d’Oppem & his wife Margareta van Rode (-after 15 Feb 1595).  Van Kerrebrouck names her parents shown above[922].   Moilon & Canaye name her parents “Iosse de Bonckhorn, et…Elisabeth Castelain du pays de Lillois, extraicts de Brabant” (no sources cited)[923]Joncker Henrick van Bourgoignien, geheeren van Herlaer, meyere der voorschreve stadt van Vilvoorde ende Jouffrouwe Barbelen Bohoven [et son épouse] Bochom vulgo Bochoven” bought “la Grande Maison de Herlaer” 2 Oct 1566 and later sold it to his sister Madeleine[924].   Dame Barbara Bochoven veuve de feu Henry de Bourgoingne ecuier en son vivant majeur de Vilvoorden” transferred property to her named children by charter dated 15 Feb 1595[925].   

[same person as…?  HENRI de Lambermont ([1550]-Sedan 15 Oct 1637[926]).  This alleged co-identity remains unproven, particularly absent a primary source which confirms that Jacqueline van Royen, mother of Henri de Bourgogne, was Dame de Lambermont as indicated by Père Anselme (see above).  Père Anselme recorded that “Henry de Bourgogne se retira dans le païs de Liege, puis dans la principauté de Sedan, ayant abandonné ses biens pour jouir de quelque repos”, after which his brother Frédéric “fut mis en possession de sa charge de mayeur de Wilvorde” and “son château de Lambermont fut abbatu et brûlé, tous ses biens confisqués et vendus”.  Anselme added that Henri married “encore trois fois”, named these three supposed later wives, and gave some details of their descendants who took the name “Lambermont”, noting letters issued by Louis XIV dated May 1657 which permitted those descendants “de reprendre le nom de Bourgogne, pourvû qu’il constât par titres de la vérité de leur exposé” (no source citation)[927].  It appears that the Lambermont family never accepted this invitation to submit proof of their Herlaer ancestry, as no family member changed his name to Bourgogne.  Presumably the information reported by Anselme was provided by Henri de Lambermont’s descendants and copied into the king’s May 1657 letters which, if that is correct, cannot be considered as constituting proof.  Van Kerrebrouck, presuming that no later proof was submitted, comments that the 1657 letters “n’ont qu’un caractère de principe” and that, if Henri’s descendants had submitted their proofs, “un brevet aurait été octroyé”.  He notes the reference to a [suspect] “brevet” in 1900, but concludes that “nous ne pouvons prouver qu’Henri de Lambermont soit le même personnage qu’Henri de Bourgogne[928]This supposed descent of the Lambermont family contradicts their supposed descent from Philippe de Bourgogne Heer van Kruibeke, son of Guy bâtard de Beaumont (illegitimate half-brother of Jean bâtard de Bourgogne Bishop of Cambrai, see above in the present document), as reported by Moilon & Canaye[929].  As neither of these supposed Lambermont descents is based on reliable primary source material, it is impossible to verify their accuracy.  Until more trustworthy information comes to light, both descents be treated with caution.]
