The duchy of Lorraine was the rump of the early medieval duchy of Upper Lotharingia, centred on Nancy. The difficulty is pinpointing the date when "Lotharingia" transformed into "Lorraine". This document sets out the family of the dukes from the accession of the Matfriede dynasty in the mid-11th century. However, as can be seen below, contemporary sources continue to refer to the duke as "dux Lotharingiæ" until well into the 14th century. The duchy remained within imperial territory, the dukes being suzerains of the emperor/king of Germany. However, Lorraine gradually lost status and territory, especially after the rise of the comtes de Bar to the west of the duchy. Lorraine was even briefly placed under the suzerainty of Bar during the early years of the 13th century[1]. Duke Thibaut I became embroiled in the dispute over the succession to the county of Champagne between 1216 and 1218, when Friedrich II King of Germany invaded Lorraine and took the duke back to Germany as a prisoner.

The gradual assimilation of Lorraine into the French sphere of influence started with the reign of Duke Raoul, who succeeded in 1329 and spent most of his reign at the court of Philippe VI King of France. A significant increase in the number of marriages into French comital families can be observed from the end of the 13th century. However, formal French acquisition of Lorraine territory did not accelerate until the mid-17th century, and the duchy was only finally annexed by the kingdom of France in 1766 after the death of Stanislas Leszczinski Duke of Lorraine, who was the father-in-law of King Louis XV.

Chapter 1. DUKES of LORRAINE 1048-1431 (MATFRIEDE)

A. DUKES of LORRAINE 1048-1431

GERARD, son of GERHARD Graf [von Metz] & his wife Gisela --- (-Remiremont [14 Apr] or 11 Aug [1070]). The Notitiæ Fundationis Monasterii Bosonis-Villæ names (in order) "Adalbertus, Gerhardus, Cuonradus, Adalbero, Beatrix, Cuono, Huoda abbatissa, Azelinus, Ida, Adeleth" as children of "Gerhardus comes [et] Gisela"[2]. In an earlier passage, the same source names "Odelrico comite et Gerhardo duce" as sons and successors of "Gerhardus comes marchio [et] cum uxore sua Gisela"[3]. Comte de Metz, Comte de Châtenois. Emperor Heinrich III appointed him as GERARD Duke of Upper Lotharingia after his brother was killed in battle in Nov 1048. The dating clause of a charter dated 15 Oct 1062, which records a judgment of Udo Bishop of Toul, states “regnante Henrico IV Rom. Rege, Duce Gerardo, Ardulpho Tullensi comite...”[4]. "Gerardus…Lothariensium dux" donated property to Echternach abbey by charter dated 11 Apr 1067 which names "uxoris mea Hadvidis filiique nostre Theoderici…patris mei Gerhardi matrisque meæ Gislæ"[5]. According to the 14th century chronicle of Jean de Bayon, Duke Gérard was poisoned[6]. The Obituaire de Saint-Mansuy records the death "11 Aug" of "Gerardus dux"[7].

m HADWIDE de Namur, daughter of ALBERT I Comte de Namur & his wife Ermengarde of Lower Lotharingia [Carolingian] ([1005/10]-28 Jan [1080]). The Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi names "Hadewidem et Emmam de Los" as the two daughters of "Ermengardis [filiæ Karoli ducis]" and as mother of "Theodericum ducem et Gerardum comitem fratres"[8]. It is likely that Hedwig was born during that latter part of the married life of her parents, given her own death in [1080] and her father's death before 1010. The Liber Memoriales of Remiremont records the donation of "Haduydis ducissa…consentientibus filiis suis duce Teoderico atque comite Girardo"[9]. "Hadewidis ductrix" founded the abbey of Châtenois by charter dated to after 1075, confirmed "post obitum ductricis Hadewidis" by "dux Theodericus filius eius"[10]. The Codex de l’Angelica records “Haduydis ducissa” donating a serf to Remiremont, with the consent of “filiis suis duce Theoderico atque comite Girardo”, undated[11].

Duke Gérard & his wife had four children:

1. THIERRY de Lorraine (-30 Dec 1115). The Notitiæ Fundationis Monasterii Bosonis-Villæ records the succession of "dux Theodericus puer parvulus Gerhardi ducis filius"[12], although, considering the estimated birth date range of his mother, Thierry must have been adult when his father died. He succeeded his father in 1070 as THIERRY II Duke of Lorraine, opposed by his brother to whom he ceded territories which became the county of Vaudémont in Apr 1073 after waging war for two years. Weakened by this conflict, Louis Comte de Mousson claimed the title duke from Duke Thierry. "Hadewidis ductrix" founded the abbey of Châtenois by charter dated to after 1075, confirmed "post obitum ductricis Hadewidis" by "dux Theodericus filius eius"[13]. The Codex de l’Angelica records “Haduydis ducissa” donating a serf to Remiremont, with the consent of “filiis suis duce Theoderico atque comite Girardo”, undated[14]. During the investiture crisis, Duke Thierry supported Emperor Heinrich IV who enabled him to take control of Metz after expelling Hermann Bishop of Metz[15]. Pibo Bishop of Toul granted privileges to the monastery of Toul Saint-Léon and named "dux Theodericus et Simon puer eius filius, et frater ducis Gerardus comes et Renardus comes Tillensis" by charter dated 10 Oct 1091[16]. Emperor Heinrich V granted him the title "Marquis" in [1114][17]. “Theodoricus...Lotharingorum princeps, dux et marchio” donated “quidquid continetur a rivo de Grimommont usque ad nemus de Granviller et usque ad nemus de Stivay” to Saint-Dié, at the request of “Hugonis de Distorchio”, in the presence of “suorum filiorum...Simonis, Theodorici, Gerardi, Henrici”, by charter dated 19 Mar 1114[18]. The Obituaire de Saint-Mansuy records the death "30 Dec" of "Theodoricus dux"[19]. m firstly ([1080]) as her second husband, HEDWIG von Formbach, widow of GERHARD von Süpplingenburg Graf im Harzgau, daughter of FRIEDRICH Graf von Formbach & his wife Gertrud von Haldensleben (-[1090/93]). According to Poull, Duke Thierry unsuccessfully petitioned the Pope in early 1079 to marry Agnès d'Aquitaine, widow of Pierre Comte de Savoie, which if correct means that his first marriage inevitably took place after this[20]. m secondly (Han-sur-Lesse 15 Aug 1095) as her second husband, GERTRUDE de Flandre, widow of HENRI III Comte de Louvain, daughter of ROBERT I "Friso" Count of Flanders & his wife Gertrud of Saxony [Billung] (-[1115/26]). Her parentage and both her marriages are deduced from the Cartulaire de Saint-Bertin in which is named "Gertrude filia Roberti Frisonis, vidua Henrici Bruselensis" mother of "Theodericum" who is in turn named "filium Theoderici ducis de Helsath"[21]. The Genealogica Comitum Flandriæ Bertiniana specifies that "Robertus comes cognomento Frisio" had three daughters "tercia Theoderico comiti Alsatie [nupsit]"[22]. Duke Thierry II & his first wife had [four] children:

a) SIMON de Lorraine (-13/14 Jan 1139, bur Stulzbron). The Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi names "Symonem ducem" as son of "Theodericum ducem"[23]. Pibo Bishop of Toul granted privileges to the monastery of Toul Saint-Léon and named "dux Theodericus et Simon puer eius filius, et frater ducis Gerardus comes et Renardus comes Tillensis" by charter dated 10 Oct 1091[24]. He succeeded his father in 1115 as SIMON I Duke of Lorraine.

- see below.

b) GERTRUDE [Petronilla] de Lorraine (-23 May 1144, bur Rijnsburg). The Annales Egmundani name "Petronilla" as widow of "Florentius crassus comes filius Theoderici" but do not give her origin[25]. The Chronologia Johannes de Beke records the marriage of Count Floris and "Petronillam Lotharii cesaris sororem"[26]. The Annales Magdeburgenses name "Gertrudeis comitissa de…Holland…soror Lotherii Saxonis ducis" when recording her rebellion in 1123[27]. Regent of Holland for her son Count Dirk VI during his minority. She founded the Abbey of Rijnsburg in 1133. The Annales Egmundani record the death in 1144 of "Petronilla comitissa uxor Florentii crassi comitis" and her burial at "Rinsburch"[28]. The Chronologia Johannes de Beke record that "Petronilla…comitissa" became a nun at Rijnsburg after her husband died, and died and was buried there "X Kal Iun"[29]. Beke's Egmondsch Necrologium records the death "1144 X Kal Iun" of "Petronilla comitissa"[30]. m (1113) FLORIS II Count of Holland, son of DIRK V Count [of Holland] & his wife Othelindis --- (-2 Mar 1121).

c) [FROUNICA . Nun at Remiremont. “Theodericus...dux Lotharingiæ et marchio”, after “filiæ meæ Frounica...et Hara” became nuns “Frounica in Romarico-monte et Hara in Buxeriis”, donated property to Bouxières by charter dated 5 Aug 1120 [misdated][31].]

d) [HARA (-after 21 Mar 1156). “Theodericus...dux Lotharingiæ et marchio”, after “filiæ meæ Frounica...et Hara” became nuns “Frounica in Romarico-monte et Hara in Buxeriis”, donated property to Bouxières by charter dated 5 Aug 1120 [misdated][32]. "Simon...dux Lotharingiæ et marchio" donated “ecclesiam...de Pixerecourt...partem decimarum villæ...de Margeville et Augecourt” to the abbey of Bouxières-aux-Dames, in the presence of “soror mea domina Hara abbatissæ”, by charter dated 30 Mar 1130[33]. Abbess of Bouxières-aux-Dames. “Matthæus...dux Lotharingiæ et marchio” confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Bouxières-aux-Dames donated by “pater meus Simon et avus meus Theodericus”, at the request of “patruæ meæ dominæ Haræ abbatissæ sanctæ Mariæ de Monte”, by charter dated 21 Mar 1156, in the presence of “uxore mea Bertha”[34].]

Duke Thierry II & his second wife had [six] children:

e) THIERRY de Lorraine ([1099/1101]-17 Jan 1168). He is named in the Cartulaire de Saint-Bertin, which also specifies his parentage[35]. “Theodoricus...Lotharingorum princeps, dux et marchio” donated “quidquid continetur a rivo de Grimommont usque ad nemus de Granviller et usque ad nemus de Stivay” to Saint-Dié, at the request of “Hugonis de Distorchio”, in the presence of “suorum filiorum...Simonis, Theodorici, Gerardi, Henrici”, by charter dated 19 Mar 1114[36]. He succeeded in 1128 as THIERRY I Count of Flanders.

- COUNTS of FLANDERS.

f) GERARD de Lorraine (-after 1117). The Passio Karoli Comitis names "Simonis et Gerardi" as sons of "Theodericus dux" & his wife Gertrude[37]. “Theodoricus...Lotharingorum princeps, dux et marchio” donated “quidquid continetur a rivo de Grimommont usque ad nemus de Granviller et usque ad nemus de Stivay” to Saint-Dié, at the request of “Hugonis de Distorchio”, in the presence of “suorum filiorum...Simonis, Theodorici, Gerardi, Henrici”, by charter dated 19 Mar 1114[38].

g) HENRI de Lorraine (-6 Jun 1165, bur Toul Cathedral). “Theodoricus...Lotharingorum princeps, dux et marchio” donated “quidquid continetur a rivo de Grimommont usque ad nemus de Granviller et usque ad nemus de Stivay” to Saint-Dié, at the request of “Hugonis de Distorchio”, in the presence of “suorum filiorum...Simonis, Theodorici, Gerardi, Henrici”, by charter dated 19 Mar 1114[39]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the appointment of "Henricus…frater ducis Simonis de Nanceio et illius qui postea fuit comes Flandrensis" as Bishop of Toul in 1126[40]. William of Tyre names him as brother of Thierry I Count of Flanders when recording his presence with Konrad II King of Germany in Palestine in 1148[41]. He was elected Bishop of Toul in Mar 1126, installed at Metz in Jul 1126.

h) BAUDOUIN . The Cartulaire de Saint-Bertin records "Balduinum fratrem Theoderici comitis Flandrie"[42].

i) ERMENGARDE de Lorraine . The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines in 1193 refers to "soror…comitis Theoderici et ducis Symonis" as wife of "cuidem forti castellano de Burgundia Bernardo", by whom she had "Iosceranum et sorores eius, qui de sorore comitis Cabilonensis genuit Henricum patrem Iosceranni Grossi"[43]. m BERNARD Grossus Seigneur de Brancion, son of LANDRY Grossus Seigneur de Brancion et d'Uxelles & his wife --- (-before [1147]).

j) [GISELA de Lorraine . According to Europäische Stammtafeln[44], the wife of Graf Friedrich may have been the daughter of Thierry II Duke of Lorraine, but the basis for this speculation is not know. The primary source which confirms her two marriages has not yet been identified. m firstly --- [von Tecklenburg], son of ---. m secondly FRIEDRICH [I] Graf im Saargau, son of SIGEBERT [I] Graf im Saargau & his wife --- (-before 1135).]

2. GERARD de Lorraine (-1108, bur Belval). The Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi names "Theodericum ducem et Gerardum comitem fratres" sons of "Hadewidem [filiam Ermengardis]"[45]. He opposed his brother's sole succession in 1071, waged war for two years, the dispute being settled when his brother ceded him the Saintois and other territories, which became the County of Vaudémont, 14 Apr 1073[46].

- COMTES de VAUDEMONT.

3. GISELE de Lorraine (-after [1114]). Poull refers to charters of Remiremont Saint-Pierre which name Gisèle[47]. Abbess of Remiremont Saint-Pierre and Saint-Pierre de Metz [1070/1114].

4. BEATRIX de Lorraine (-[1116/17]). "Stephanus comes Burgundie et dominus de Treva" donated property to Cluny by charter dated [1100] in which he refers to his wife as "filia ducis Lotharingie" but does not name her[48]. The primary source which names her has not yet been identified. m ([1085/90]) ETIENNE [I] Comte de Mâcon, son of GUILLAUME [I] "le Grand" Comte Palatin de Bourgogne & his wife Etiennette --- (-murdered Ascalon 27 May 1102).

SIMON de Lorraine, son of THIERRY II Duke of Lorraine & his first wife Hedwig von Formbach (-[13/15] Jan 1139, bur Stulzbron). The Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi names "Symonem ducem" as son of "Theodericum ducem"[49]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[50], Duke Simon was the son of his father's first marriage. This appears to be confirmed by the charter dated 10 Oct 1091 under which Pibon Bishop of Toul granted privileges to the monastery of Toul Saint-Léon and named "dux Theodericus et Simon puer eius filius, et frater ducis Gerardus comes et Renardus comes Tillensis"[51]. Poull[52] refers to several sources which apparently indicate that he was the son of Duke Thierry II's second marriage, including Duke Simon's own act dated 11 Apr 1126 which refers to his deceased "mother Gertrude". However, Duke Simon married "his stepmother's daughter whom she had by her first husband Graf Heinrich"[53], which is best interpreted as meaning that he married the daughter of Gertrude de Flandre, second wife of Duke Thierry II, by her first husband. The alternative interpretation, that Duke Simon (assumed for the purposes of this argument to be the son of Gertrude de Flandre) married the daughter of Hedwig von Formbach by an otherwise unknown first husband "Graf Heinrich" presents major chronological difficulties. Such a daughter could not have been born later than 1072 at the latest. Considering that Hedwig gave birth to two children by her husband Gerhard von Süpplingenburg who died in 1075, such a birth date appears incompatible with Duke Simon's wife having given birth to at least seven children, even if their marriage took place as early as [1112/13] as suggested by Poull. Two further sources confirm that Duke Simon was born from his father's first marriage. Firstly, the Gesta Alberonis Archiepiscopi names "Lotharingiæ ducem Symonem, fratrem regis [=Lothar von Süpplingenburg]" when recording his excommunication 10 Apr 1132[54], Emperor Lothar being Simon's uterine half-brother assuming that Hedwig von Formbach was his mother. Secondly, "Teodericus dux Lotharingie" donated the church at Nancy to the abbey of Molesme with the consent of "filio suo Simone" by charter dated to [1080/90][55] which, assuming this dating is correct, was before the date of Duke Thierry's second marriage. “Theodoricus...Lotharingorum princeps, dux et marchio” donated “quidquid continetur a rivo de Grimommont usque ad nemus de Granviller et usque ad nemus de Stivay” to Saint-Dié, at the request of “Hugonis de Distorchio”, in the presence of “suorum filiorum...Simonis, Theodorici, Gerardi, Henrici”, by charter dated 19 Mar 1114[56]. He succeeded his father in 1115 as SIMON I Duke of Lorraine. “Duci Simoni, comiti Odvino, Alberto de Darney et Simoni advocato” granted rights to Saint-Dié by charter dated to [1123/25][57]. "Simon...dux Lotharingiæ et marchio" donated “ecclesiam...de Pixerecourt...partem decimarum villæ...de Margeville et Augecourt” to the abbey of Bouxières-aux-Dames, in the presence of “soror mea domina Hara abbatissæ”, by charter dated 30 Mar 1130[58]. “Simon...Lotharingorum dux” renounced claims over property of “ecclesia de Sancti-Remigii-Monte”, brought by “patris mei beatæ memoriæ ducis Theodorici”, with the support of “uxore mea...ducissa Adelide...cum Matthæo...unico nostro filio”, by undated charter[59]. He founded the Cistercian monastery of Sainte-Marue-au-Bois at Stulzbron. The necrology of Notre-Dame aux Nonnains records the death "15 Jan" of "Symon dux Lotaringeris"[60]. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Denis records the death "XIX Kal Feb" of "Simon Lotaringorum dux"[61]. The necrology of Gorze records the death "XIX Kal Feb" of "Simon dux Lotharingiæ"[62]. The Obituaire de Saint-Mansuy-lès-Toul records the death "14 Jan" of "Sigismundus dux"[63].

m ([1112/13]) ADELAIDE de Louvain, daughter of HENRI III Comte de Louvain & his wife Gertrude de Flandre (before 1095-4 Nov after 1158). Simon Duke of Lorraine married "his stepmother's daughter whom she had by her first husband Graf Heinrich"[64]. In light of the chronological difficulties of this having been a daughter of Duke Thierry II's first wife, it is likely that Duke Simon's wife was the daughter of the comte de Louvain, whose wife married Duke Thierry as his second wife. “Simon...Lotharingorum dux” renounced claims over property of “ecclesia de Sancti-Remigii-Monte”, brought by “patris mei beatæ memoriæ ducis Theodorici”, with the support of “uxore mea...ducissa Adelide...cum Matthæo...unico nostro filio”, by undated charter[65]. Her name is confirmed by the charter dated 1155, after 1 Sep, under which "Judit Romaricensis ecclesie abbatissa" donated property at the request of "Aledis mater ducis Mathei"[66]. After the death of her husband, Adelaide retired to the Cistercian abbey of Notre-Dame du Tart, near Dijon[67].

Duke Simon I & his wife had [seven] children:

1. [MATHIEU de Lorraine (-4 Nov [before 1119]). “Simon...Lotharingorum dux” renounced claims over property of “ecclesia de Sancti-Remigii-Monte”, brought by “patris mei beatæ memoriæ ducis Theodorici”, with the support of “uxore mea...ducissa Adelide...cum Matthæo...unico nostro filio”, by undated charter[68]. This charter is dated to before the birth of the dukes younger sons. It is unclear whether Duke Simon’s son Mathieu, named in the document, was an older son who died young or the future Duke Mathieu I.]

2. AGATHE de Lorraine . The Gesta Friderici of Otto of Freising records the wife of Comte Renaud as "Simonis Lotharingiorum ducis filiam"[69]. “Raynaldus Burgundiæ comes” donated property to Besançon cathedral, with the consent of “fratris nostri Guillermi comitis et...collateralis nostræ Agathæ Lotharingiæ ducis filiæ”, by charter dated 1148[70]. She was first cousin once removed of her husband but no mention of a Papal dispensation for the marriage has so far been identified. “Matheus...Lotharingorum Dux et marchio” donated property to Tart abbey, with the consent of “uxoris mee Berthe...fratris mei Balduini et Agathe sororis mee”, by charter dated 1142[71]. m ([1130]) RENAUD [III] Comte [Palatin] de Bourgogne, son of ETIENNE [I] Comte de Mâcon & his wife Beatrix de Lorraine (-22 Jan 1148 or 20 Jan 1149).

3. HADWIDE de Lorraine (-[27 Jan, 29 Jan or 23 Feb] after 1142). The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. “Fridericus...Tullensium comes...et uxor mea Hawuidis” confirmed a donation to Tart abbey made by Mathieu Duc de Lorraine by charter dated 1142, witnessed by “...Rainaldus comes Barrensis, Henricus frater comitis Friderici...”[72]. The Obituaire de Saint-Mansuy records the death "27 Jan" of "Helvydis comitissa", "29 Jan" of "Helvydis comitissa", and "23 Feb" of "Havidis comitissa"[73]. m (before mid-1128) FREDERIC [II] Comte de Toul, son of RAINARD [III] Comte de Toul & his wife Gisele de Vaudémont (-[1138/42]).

4. MATHIEU de Lorraine ([1119]-13 May 1176, bur Abbaye de Clairlieu). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines in 1193 names "dux Matheus et Robertus" as sons of "ducis Symonis"[74]. The Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi names "Matheum ducem" as son of "Symonem ducem"[75]. “Symon dux et marchio, Aleidis ducissa, Mathœus puer...” subscribed the charter dated 1122 under which “Symon...Lotharingorum dux et marchio et Aleidis conjux eius et ducissa” confirmed the possessions of Chaumousey abbey[76]. He succeeded his father in 1138 as MATHIEU I Duke of Lorraine. “Matheus...Lotharingorum Dux et marchio” donated property to Tart abbey, with the consent of “uxoris mee Berthe...fratris mei Balduini et Agathe sororis mee”, by charter dated 1142[77].

He founded the abbey of l'Etange in 1148. “Matthæus...dux Lotharingiæ et marchio” confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Bouxières-aux-Dames donated by “pater meus Simon et avus meus Theodericus”, at the request of “patruæ meæ dominæ Haræ abbatissæ sanctæ Mariæ de Monte”, by charter dated 21 Mar 1156, in the presence of “uxore mea Bertha”[79]. He founded the abbey of Clairlieu in 1159. “Matthæus Lotharingiæ dux et marchio” granted toll exemptions at Neuf-château to the abbey of Saint-Bénigne de Dijon, with the consent of “dominæ Berthæ sucissæ uxoris meæ et Roberti fratris mei et filiorum meorum Simonis et Friderici”, by charter dated 14 Oct 1166[80]. “Matthæus Lotharingorum dux et marchio” donated “ductu aquæ molendini...Farros-Moulin” to Saint-Dié, in the presence of “uxore mea Bertha et filiis meis Matthæo et Judith comitissa Burgundiæ”, by charter dated 1170[81]. “Matthæus Lotharingiæ dux et marchio” confirmed rights to Clairlieu abbey, with the consent of “uxoris meæ et filiorum meorum Simonis...Friderici et Matthæi”, by charter dated 1172[82]. The necrology of Gorze records the death "III Id Mai" of "Matheus dux"[83]. The Obituaire de Saint-Mansuy records the death "14 May" of "Matthæus dux"[84]. m (before 25 Mar 1139) BERTHA [Judith] von Staufen, daughter of FRIEDRICH von Staufen Duke of Swabia & his first wife Judith of Bavaria [Welf] (-[18 Oct 1194/25 Mar 1195], bur Abbaye de Clairlieu). The Historia Welforum names "Fridericum imperatorem nostrum et uxorem Mathei ducis Lotharingiæ" as the children of "Friderico Suevorum duci" & his wife Judith[85]. The Gesta Friderici of Otto of Freising names "Fridericum…et Iuditham" as the two children of Friedrich Duke of Swabia & his first wife, and Judith's marriage to "Matthaeo Lotharingiorum duci"[86]. The Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi refers to the wife of "Matheum ducem" as "sorore Friderici imperatoris"[87]. “Matheus...Lotharingorum Dux et marchio” donated property to Tart abbey, with the consent of “uxoris mee Berthe...fratris mei Balduini et Agathe sororis mee”, by charter dated 1142[88]. "Matheus Lotharingorum dux et marchio" donated property to Kloster Stürtzelbronn, with the consent of "coniugis mee Berthe et Balduini fratris mei" by charter dated 13 Jan 1143[89]. “Matthæus Lotharingiæ dux et marchio” granted toll exemptions at Neuf-château to the abbey of Saint-Bénigne de Dijon, with the consent of “dominæ Berthæ sucissæ uxoris meæ et Roberti fratris mei et filiorum meorum Simonis et Friderici”, by charter dated 14 Oct 1166[90]. “Matthæus Lotharingorum dux et marchio” donated “ductu aquæ molendini...Farros-Moulin” to Saint-Dié, in the presence of “uxore mea Bertha et filiis meis Matthæo et Judith comitissa Burgundiæ”, by charter dated 1170[91]. “Matthæus Lotharingiæ dux et marchio” confirmed rights to Clairlieu abbey, with the consent of “uxoris meæ et filiorum meorum Simonis...Friderici et Matthæi”, by charter dated 1172[92]. “Berta ducissa et dux Simon filius meus” confirmed donations which “maritum meum…ducem Mathæum” wished to make at the end of his life by charter dated 1176, subscribed by “Theodoricus electus Metensis, dominus episcopus Petrus, Simon dux, Fridericus frater eius, Mathæus item frater eius, Robertus comes frater Mathæi ducis…”[93]. “Simon...dux Lotharingiæ et marchio” donated property to Bouxières-aux-Dames, at the request of “matris meæ dominæ Berthæ filiæ Friderici imperatoris et fratrum meorum Theoderici electi Metensi episcopi, Frederici et Mathæi ac sororis meæ Alidis ducissæ Burgundiæ”, for the soul of “patris mei domini Mathæi”, by charter dated 1176[94]. “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][95].

Duke Mathieu I & his wife had seven children:

a) ALIX de Lorraine ([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[97]. 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"[98]. The same source also records the repudiation of Alix by her husband[99]. “Simon...dux Lotharingiæ et marchio” donated property to Bouxières-aux-Dames, at the request of “matris meæ dominæ Berthæ filiæ Friderici imperatoris et fratrum meorum Theoderici electi Metensi episcopi, Frederici et Mathæi ac sororis meæ Alidis ducissæ Burgundiæ”, for the soul of “patris mei domini Mathæi”, by charter dated 1176[100]. “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][101]. She returned to Lorraine after her repudiation.

He ambushed and murdered his successor Renaud de Senlis Bishop of Toul in Apr 1217, for which his nephew Thibaut Duke of Lorraine murdered him by his own hand[165]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records in 1217 that “episcopus Tullensis Renaldus” was killed by “predecessore suo...episcopo Matheo...IV Id Apr”, adding that Mathieu was placed “in scrinio” and raised high up in a tree[166].

The Chronica Senoniensis records that “Maherus Præpositus” had “filiam…de quadam Sanctimoniali Spinalensi”[168]. Mathieu had one illegitimate child by Mistress (1):

She lived with her father at Saint-Dié after his deposition[170].

6. THIERRY de Lorraine "d'Enfer/du Diable" (-[Joinville] before Jun 1244). Seigneur d'Autigny, under the division of territories agreed on the death of his father[177]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records in 1208 that "dux de Nanceio Fredericus" attacked "terram monachorum Gorziensium" and "contra comitem Barrie eiusdem terre defensorem" but that "cui comes...III Non Feb" captured “ipsum ducem cum duobus fratribus suis, quotum unus Theodericus de Inferno dictus est” and held them captive for seven months until peace was restored[178]. “Math. dux et march.” confirmed that “Dns Tirric. de Atygneio patr. nr.” donated the mill at Autigny to Etanche abbey by charter dated 1220[179]. A decree issued by Empress Maria Theresia, dated 28 Mar 1769, granting a ducal crown to his supposed descendant François Gabriel Joseph Marquis du Chasteler et de Courcelles, recites the latter’s descent from the ducal family of Lorraine, and names “Gertrude de Montmorenci” as wife of “Thieri surnommé d’Enfer Sr. du Chastler” and mother of his son Ferry[180]. La Belgique Héraldique states that “ce mariage est mentionné dans les titres de l’abbaye de Relanges” but that it was not proved “aux yeux du marquis du Chasteler, qui n’avait pu vérifier les titres”, and suggests that it is based on a genealogical fragment from the house of Saint-Elophe which records that “Thierry de Saint-Elophe, vivant en 1211, épousa Gertrude” while noting that Ferry, son of Thierry de Lorraine, possessed “alors Saint-Elophe ou des droits étendus sur Saint-Elophe”[181]. No record has been found of Gertrude in the sources relating to the Montmorency family (see the document PARIS REGION NOBILITY-BEAUMONT & BEAUVAISIS). Mistress (1): ALIX de Nogent, daughter of ANDRE Seigneur de Nogent-en-Bassigny & his wife --- (-before 1256). Her relationship with Thierry de Lorraine is shown in Europaische Stammtafeln[182]. The primary source which confirms that this information is correct has not been identified. She married (before 1234) Simon [III] de Parroye. Thierry had two possible illegitimate children by Mistress (1):

a) [SIMON “le Diable” (-13 Oct [1245]). Canon at Saint-Dié. Richer names "Simon canonicus Sancti Deodati cognomento Diabolus...filius esse dicebatur...Terricus Diabolus" when recording his help in reconstructing a mill at Reclonville which was incomplete because he died[183]. This text introduces enough doubt (“esse dicebatur”) to consider this affiliation unconfirmed. The necrology of Senones records the death “III Id Oct” of “Simon canonicus” and his donation of money towards building the mill[184]. Calmet suggests that “on peut fixer le decés de Simon vers l’an 1245”[185].]

b) [FERRY (-[Nov 1292/30 Jun 1296], bur [Neufchâteau Cordeliers]). No documentary proof has been found that Ferry was the son of Thierry Seigneur d'Autigny. However, his supposed father's seigneurie was in his possession in 1244 and his arms were similar to those of the dukes of Lorraine[186]. The Papal dispensation for the marriage of his son Jean indicates consanguinity with Eudes Comte de Toul, descended from Mathieu de Lorraine Comte de Toul, which appears consistent with this supposed parentage. Seigneur de Chastelet. Seigneur d'Autigny Jun 1244. “Ferris sires dou Chateler” exchanged property with the abbess of Létanche, with the consent of “Isabel ma fame et de Harart mon fil” by charter dated Dec 1264[187].]

m [secondly] ([1080]) HEILWIG von Egisheim, daughter of GERHARD [II] Graf von Egisheim & his wife Richarda --- (-29 Jan before 1126, bur Belval). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to the wife of "Gerardum…primus comes Wanderi Montis" as "filiam comitis de Daburc, neptem sancti Leonis papa" but does not name her or her father[359]. “Helwigis comitissa filia comitis Gerhardi de castro Egensheim...et Hugone filio suo majore eius advocato ceterisque filiis ipsius” donated “Berhtam” to Strasbourg by charter dated 1118, witnessed by “filiis ambobus laycis Hugone maiore et minore Udalrico...Sigefridus advocatus et Heinrich et Diebolth vicedominus”[360].

Gérard & his [second] wife had five children:

1. HUGUES de Vaudémont (-4 Feb 1155, bur Priory of Belval, near Portieux, Vosges). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "comitem Wanderii Montis Hugonem et sororem eius Gislam" as children of "Gerardum…primus comes Wanderi Montis" & his [second] wife[361]. He succeeded his father in 1108 as Comte de Vaudémont.

2. ULRIC de Vaudémont (-1143, bur Belval). “Helwigis comitissa filia comitis Gerhardi de castro Egensheim...et Hugone filio suo majore eius advocato ceterisque filiis ipsius” donated “Berhtam” to Strasbourg by charter dated 1118, witnessed by “filiis ambobus laycis Hugone maiore et minore Udalrico...Sigefridus advocatus et Heinrich et Diebolth vicedominus”[362]. “Comes Hugo de Wadanomonte” donated a serf to Remiremont, with the consent of “fratre suo Olrico”, undated “tempore Judith sororis sue abbatisse”[363].

4. ETIENNETTE de Vaudémont (-[4 Dec 1160/1188], bur Oelenberg). The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified.

5. GISELE de Vaudémont ([before 1095?]-26 Dec after 1141, bur Saint-Mihiel). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "comitem Wanderii Montis Hugonem et sororem eius Gislam" as children of "Gerardum…primus comes Wanderi Montis" & his [second] wife, specifying that Gisela was "comitissa Barri"[366]. The chronology of the lives of her children by her first marriage suggests that Gisèle was probably born before [1095]. Her first marriage is deduced from the same source which records that "comes Raynaldus Barri" became the stepfather of "comitis Frederici Tullensis et fratrum suorum Theoderici et Wedrici" although without naming his wife[367]. It should be noted that these two texts do not establish beyond doubt that the widow of Renier Comte de Toul was also the daughter of Gérard Comte de Vaudémont. It is therefore not impossible that Comte Renaud married twice, firstly to Gisèle daughter of Comte Gérard, and secondly to the unnamed widow of Comte Renier. However, no indication has yet been found in the primary sources to indicate that this is correct. m firstly RAINARD [III] Comte de Toul, son of FREDERIC [I] Comte d'Astenois et de Toul & his wife Gertrude de Toul (-17 or 18 Feb [1116/20]). m secondly ([1120]) as his second wife, RENAUD I Comte de Bar et de Mousso n, son of THIERRY de Mousson & his wife Ermentrude de Bourgogne [Comté] ([1175/77]-on ship in the Mediterranean 10 Mar 1149).

HUGUES [I] de Vaudémont, son of GERARD [I] de Lorraine Comte de Vaudémont & his [second] wife Heilwig von Egisheim (-4 Feb 1155, bur Priory of Belval, near Portieux, Vosges). The Liber Memoriales of Remiremont records the donation of "comes Hugo de Wadoni monte concedente uxore sua" made "pro anima…patris sui comitis Ierardi"[368]. He succeeded his father in 1108 as Comte de Vaudémont. “Helwigis comitissa filia comitis Gerhardi de castro Egensheim...et Hugone filio suo majore eius advocato ceterisque filiis ipsius” donated “Berhtam” to Strasbourg by charter dated 1118, witnessed by “filiis ambobus laycis Hugone maiore et minore Udalrico...Sigefridus advocatus et Heinrich et Diebolth vicedominus”[369]. “Comes Hugo de Wadanomonte” donated a serf to Remiremont, with the consent of “fratre suo Olrico”, undated “tempore Judith sororis sue abbatisse”[370].

Comte Hugues [I] & his wife had five children:

1. GERARD [II] de Vaudémont (-1188, bur Morimond). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to, but does not name, one of the sisters (named second in the list of sisters) of "Lingones…episcopus Galterus [et] episcopum Eduensem Henricum" as "mater comitis Gerardi, filii Hugonis de Wandanimonte"[377]. “Hugonis comitis Vaudemontani” donated “piscationem ad Saxeium” to Toul, with the consent of “Aigelinæ coniugis suæ et Gerardi filii”, by undated charter[378]. “Hugonis comitis Wadonis-montis” donated land “Hundeseise” to the church of Beaupré, with the consent of “uxoris suæ ac filiorum Gerardi et Ulrici”, by undated charter[379].

Pope Alexander III confirmed donations to Mireval, including the donation of “domum deportandi in banno de Cassine” made by “Girardi comitis Wadoni-montis et uxoris eius Gertrudis et fratrum eius Olrici, Rainaldi”, by charter dated 1180[381]. “Gerardi comitis Wadanimontis” donated property to the church of Beaupré, with the consent of “fratris sui Odonis Tullensis archidiaconi”, by charter dated 1186[382]. m firstly ([1157/61]) GERTRUDE de Joinville, daughter of GEOFFROI [III] Seigneur de Joinville & his wife Félicité de Brienne (-1181 or after). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names (in order) "Gaufridum, Vaslerum et Gertrudem" as children of "Gaufridum Grossum" & his wife, specifying that Gertrude was mother of "comitis Hugonis Wandanimontis"[383]. "Gaufridus Jovisville dominus, comitis Henrici senescaldus" donated property to Chapelle-aux-Planches by charter dated 1157 in which he names "pater meus Rogerus…Felicitate uxore mea et filio meo Gaufrido, filia quoque Gertrude"[384]. The bishop of Toul confirmed the act by which "Geoffroy seigneur de Joinville", with the agreement of "Geoffroy son fils et de la comtesse de Vaudémont sa fille", founded the abbey of Ecurey, by charter dated 1168[385]. Pierre Bishop of Toul confirmed the donation of “le lieu de Tontigny auparavant appartenant à l’héritage de Morivlle...” made to Flabémont by “conte Gerard de Vauldemont”, with the consent of “Gertrude sa femme et de Hugues son filz et autres leurs héritiers...et de Odon son frère archidiacre” by charter dated 1172[386].

The primary source which confirms her parentage and two marriages has not been identified. The Feoda Campanie dated [1204/10] includes “…comitissa Wadimontis...” in De Barri super Albam[388]. Gérard [II] & his first wife had [five] children:

a) [HEDWIDE [de Vaudémont?] ). Europäische Stammtafeln names “Hadvide v Vaudémont, T v Graf Gerhard II” as the first wife of Liébaud [III] Seigneur de Vaudémont[389]. The primary source which confirms her name and marriage has not been identified. Her suggested family origin is presumably based on Poull who suggests that she was Gérard [II]’s daughter by his first wife, noting the couple’s marriage “avant 1190”[390]. If it is correct, as also indicated by Europäische Stammtafeln, that the couple’s four children were named in 1181, the marriage must have taken place many years before 1190. In support of his suggestion about her parentage, Poull cites two documents. Firstly, “Huardus domicellus de Beffroymont et dominus de la Rolleye” [La Rouillie] confirmed donations to Flabémont abbey made by “patre meo Leobaudo” by charter dated Jul 1238, witnessed by “domini de Savilley avunculi mei et domini de Beffroymont fratris mei”[391], indicating in a later passage that “domini de Savilley” was Geoffroy Seigneur de Deuilly[392]. Poull says that Huard was this couple’s second son but, as noted below, other sources suggest that he was the son of Liébaud [III] by his second wife. Secondly, Liébaud [IV] Seigneur de Bauffremont asked “son cousin Henri comte de Vaudémont” to seal a charter dated Mar 1262[393]. Poull names Liébaud [IV] as this couple’s grandson, although other indications suggest that Liébaud [IV]’s father (Pierre [I] Seigneur de Bauffremont) was also Liébaud [III]’s son by his second marriage. Considering these factors, it is suggested that Poull’s indication of the possible family origin of Liébaud [III]’s first wife should be treated with caution until further source material emerges. m ([1175 or before?]) as his first wife, LIEBAUD [III] Seigneur de Bauffremont, son of HUGUES [II] Seigneur de Bauffremont & his wife Hawide de Bourlémont (-after 1226).]

b) HUGUES [II] de Vaudémont (-20 Apr or 4 May [1241/42], bur Belval). Pierre Bishop of Toul confirmed the donation of “le lieu de Tontigny auparavant appartenant à l’héritage de Morivlle...” made to Flabémont by “conte Gerard de Vauldemont”, with the consent of “Gertrude sa femme et de Hugues son filz et autres leurs héritiers...et de Odon son frère archidiacre” by charter dated 1172[394].

The county of Bar acquired suzerainty over the county of Vaudémont in the early 13th century, precise date uncertain: Hugues [II] Comte de Vaudémont swore allegiance to Thibaut [I] Comte de Bar by charter dated Apr 1216[396]. “Hugo comes Vademontis” noted that “Jofridus filius meus Gondricuriæ dominus” had received “allodium de Monfort et Domanges” from Henri II Comte de Bar, with the consent of “Hugonis primogeniti mei”, by charter dated Oct 1229[397]. The testament of “Hugo comes Wademontis”, dated May 1235, divided his territories between “Hugoni filio meo primogenito...Joffrido secundo-genito meo...Gerardo tertio-genito meo”[398]. m ([1188/90]) HADWIDE de Reynel Dame de Gondrecourt, daughter of GUYARD Seigneur de Reynel & his wife Emmeline Dame de Gondrecourt (-before Jul 1238). The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. Hugues [II] & his wife had three children:

i) HUGUES [III] de Vaudémont (-20 Apr or 4 May 1243). “Hugo comes Vademontis” noted that “Jofridus filius meus Gondricuriæ dominus” had received “allodium de Monfort et Domanges” from Henri II Comte de Bar, with the consent of “Hugonis primogeniti mei”, by charter dated Oct 1229[399].

The testament of “Hugo comes Wademontis”, dated May 1235, divided his territories between “Hugoni filio meo primogenito...Joffrido secundo-genito meo...Gerardo tertio-genito meo”[401].

iii) GERARD de Vaudémont (-after May 1235). The testament of “Hugo comes Wademontis”, dated May 1235, divided his territories between “Hugoni filio meo primogenito...Joffrido secundo-genito meo...Gerardo tertio-genito meo”[402].

c) GEOFFROY de Vaudémont (-[Mar [1239/40]/May 1240]). Poull records charters dated 1181, 1183, [1190], and 1194 in which Geoffroy was named with his parents, and dated 1195 in which his name was first linked to Deuilly (full citation references)[403].

e) OLRY de Vaudémont (-after May 1215). "Hugo comes Waudimontis" recorded a dispute between Montiéramey and "Urricum fratrem emum, de Mainillo Fulchardi" concerning property “in villa de Sephons”, and the settlement in his presence and that of “Gaufridus de Daulli frater meus”, by charter dated May 1215[406].

2. OLRY de Vaudémont ([1135/40]-[before 1164]). “Hugonis comitis Wadonis-montis” donated land “Hundeseise” to the church of Beaupré, with the consent of “uxoris suæ ac filiorum Gerardi et Ulrici”, by undated charter[407]. Seigneur de Deuilly. Vignier records having seen the copy of a charter dated to [1170] under which “Ulric Sgr de Deüilly” confirmed the donation of land at Fresnoy to Morimond, with the consent of his wife “la fille de Regnier...Agnes” and of “les deux sœurs d’Agnes, Berthe et Adeline...[religieuses à] Remiremont”, subscribed by “leurs tantes Gertrude et Reine...Renier d’Aigremont...Roland miles Acrimontis”[408]. Faget de Casteljau provides the citation reference for this document[409]. Pope Alexander III confirmed donations to Mireval, including the donation of “domum deportandi in banno de Cassine” made by “Girardi comitis Wadoni-montis et uxoris eius Gertrudis et fratrum eius Olrici, Rainaldi”, by charter dated 1180[410]. m ([1160/62?]) [as her first husband,] AGNES d'Aigremont, daughter of RENIER [I] Seigneur d'Aigremont & his wife --- (-after [1170]). Faget de Casteljau records that Renier d’Aigremont “et sa fille Agnes” confirmed donations to the monks of Serqueux made by “Olry prévôt de Saints-Geosmes, frère de Renier”, by charter dated 1164[411]. The absence of Agnes’s husband suggests that she was unmarried at the time, or that her husband was deceased. Vignier records having seen the copy of a charter dated to [1170] under which “Ulric Sgr de Deüilly” confirmed the donation of land at Fresnoy to Morimond, with the consent of his wife “la fille de Regnier...Agnes” and of “les deux sœurs d’Agnes, Berthe et Adeline...[religieuses à] Remiremont”, subscribed by “leurs tantes Gertrude et Reine...Renier d’Aigremont...Roland miles Acrimontis”[412]. [She married secondly ([1164]) Olry [I] de Neuviller, who succeeded his supposed father-in-law as Seigneur d’Aigremont. The likelihood of this second marriage is discussed in CHAMPAGNE NOBILITY.] Olry & his wife had [one possible child]:

a) [HELVIS DAMIETTE [de Deuilly] ([1162/64]-after [1203/05]). Faget de Casteljau highlights charters confirming that “Thierry le jeune de Neuviller, neveu d’Olry” possessed his share of Aigremont “du chef de son épouse Helvis Damette...sœur de Renier seigneur d’Aigremont” (indicating Renier [II] de Neuviller), dated 1192, 1198 and 1199[413]. Her birth date [1162/64] is consistent with her daughter’s marriage in 1198. This suggests that Renier [II]’s mother was heiress of Aigremont and that “Helvis Damiette” was her daughter by an earlier marriage, which is consistent with the theory that Agnes d’Aigremont married Olry [I] de Neuviller as her second husband. She is referred to, but not named, in her husband’s charter dated [1203/05]. m THIERRY [II] de Neuviller, son of THIERRY [II] de Neuviller & his wife --- (-after [1203/05]).

Comte de Vaudémont.

m as her first husband, MARGUERITE [de Bar, daughter of THIBAUT I Comte de Bar & his third wife Ermesinde de Luxembourg] (-before Jul 1270). Poull suggests her parentage[422]. The primary source which confirms this suggestion has not been identified. Grosdidier de Matons does not name her among the children of Thibaut [I][423]. Marguerite is not named in her supposed father’s testaments, but this omission could be explained if she was born posthumously. Until further information emerges, it is prudent to show her possible affiliation in square brackets. Frau von Bettingen an der Prüm. She married secondly (before Feb 1245) Henri de Dampierre [en-Astenois] Seigneur du Bois.

ii) MARGUERITE de Vaudémont (-before 1336). "Jean de Joinville seigneur d’Ancerville" acknowledged receipt of money under his marriage contract with "Marguerite sœur de Henri comte de Vaudémont" by charter dated 9 Mar 1304 (O.S.?)[443]. Duchesne records her parentage and marriage to Erard [II], incorrectly recording that she later married “Gaucher de Chastillon Comte de Porcean, Connestable de France” [see the document CHAMPAGNE NOBILITY-PORCIEN, RETHEL, GRANDPRE], and cites a charter dated 1318 under which Erard and Marguerite assigned property to “Marie de Freneel Dame d’Ornoy le Darien”[444]. m firstly ([1301]) as his second wife, JEAN de Joinville Seigneur d’Ancerville, son of JEAN Seigneur de Joinville & his first wife Alix de Grandpré (18 Apr 1248-after 9 Mar 1305). m secondly (before 1318) ERARD [II] de Châtillon Seigneur de Nanteuil-la-Fosse, son of GAUCHER [IV] Seigneur de Nanteuil-la-Fosse & his wife --- (-after 1336).

Minieri Riccio names “Filippa” as daughter of Geoffroy de Milly by his second wife, adding that she inherited all the fiefs of her mother and her maternal grandparents, noting that she married firstly “il milite Ugo de Sully detto Rosso, col quale procreò Giovanni Gualtieri”, secondly “il milite Guido de Vademont” (from whom she was recorded as widow 29 Apr 1302), and thirdly “Filippo di Fiandra conte di Chieti e di Loreto”, after whose death she returned to Naples[457]. Her family origin and two marriages are confirmed by the following document: a charter dated Jan 1299 names “Philippa de Miliaco, veuve d’Hugues dit Rufus de Suliaco et à présent femme de Gui de Vaudémont chevalier”[458]. Charles II King of Sicily [Anjou-Capet] declared that, should Guy de Vaudémont die during the campaign against Sicily (in revolt), “sa femme Philippe” should retain her dower (agreed by a second charter of the same date) even though childless, by charter dated 2 Jul 1299[459]. She married thirdly ([1304]) as his second wife, Philippe de Flandre Conte di Teano. Philippa de Milly died 15 Jun 1309 at Gaeta[460].

e) ALCIDE [Alix] de Vaudémont (-after 22 Mar 1281). “Louis de Roeriis chevalier et maître rational de la grande cour de Charles d’Anjou” confirmed the appointment of “Henri de Saint-Mesmin chanoine de Châlons-sur-Marne” to claim the succession of his wife Alcide/Alix “in partibus Francie et Lothoringie...paterno et materno jure” by charter dated 9 Mar 1281[461]. Charles I King of Sicily [Anjou-Capet] confirmed the donation of “castrum Murroni sis au comté de Caserte” to “Alix, fille de feu Henri comte de Vaudémont et femme de Louis de Roheriis” by charter dated 22 Mar 1281[462]. m LOUIS de Roher, son of ---.

f) CATHERINE de Vaudémont (-after Feb 1301).

Marshall of the kingdom of Sicily. Grand Seneschal of the kingdom of Sicily 1300.

g) MARGUERITE de Vaudémont . Poliastri records a document which confirms her proposed marriage and another which records its celebration and the birth of the couple’s son Enrico[464]. Michel François also refers to the document which records the marriage[465]. m as his first wife, TOMMASO di Sanseverino, son of RUGGIERO Conte di Sanseverino, Conte di Marsico & his second wife Teodora d’Aquino (-after 1317).

2. AGNES de Vaudémont (-1282, bur Werschweiler). Poull records her parentage and marriage, noting her epitaph at Werschweiler recording the burial of “Agnes comitissa Gemnipontis nata de Widamunt et Henricus prepositus filius eius”[466]. m WALRAM [I] Graf von Zweibrücken, son of HEINRICH [II] Graf von Zweibrücken & his wife Agnes von Eberstein (-[18/22] Jan 1309).

3. MARIE de Vaudémont (-after Feb 1291). Poull records her parentage and marriage[467]. “Marie Frau v. Schoenberg (de Baumont) Wittwe des Ritters Theoderich (Thierri) v. Schoenberg” granted her rights “in den Dörfern Bettendorf, Grueyestorf, Weyergel, Helenboue, Lyxen...” to “ihrem Neffen Jacquet de Waydemont Herrn v.

4. [MARGUERITE de Vaudémont (-before Sep 1293). Poull records Marguerite as the youngest daughter of Hugues [III] Comte de Vaudémont and her marriage with Henri [I] Seigneur de Hans[469]. No primary source has been found which corroborates this information. Poull cites Lesort, who names “Henri II seigneur de Hans...fils de Henri I de Hans et de Marguerite de Vaudémont, dame de Tantonville”, citing a work by Anatole de Barthélemy which has not been found[470]. Lesort’s suggestion seems based on La Chesnaye-Desbois[471], the accuracy of whose work cannot be guaranteed. In another study, Barthélemy named “Ermine, fille de Hugues III, vidame de Châlons et de Marguerite de Milly” as wife of Henri [I] de Grandpré Seigneur de Hans (no source cited), Ermine being named as his wife in sources dated between Sep 1293 and Jun 1311[472]. If Poull is correct, Marguerite would have been Henri’s first wife, which is consistent with his parents’ marriage dated to [1236/Jun 1238] and the death of Comte Hugues [III] in 1243 (see above). m [as his first wife,] HENRI [I] Seigneur de Hans, son of JACQUES de Grandpré Seigneur de Hans & his wife Helvide de Barbançon (-after early Dec 1315).]

C. SEIGNEURS du CHASTELET

The castle of le Chastelet/le Châtelet was situated adjacent to Barville and Harchéchamp, in the present-day French départment of Vosges, arrondissement and canton Neufchàteau, about 40 kilometres south-west of Nancy. The seigneurs du Chastelet also held the nearby seigneurie d’Autigny, now Autigny-la-Tour. The fortress was built by Thierry de Lorraine “d’Enfer/du Diable” Seigneur d’Autigny, son of Ferry I Duke of Lorraine.

FERRY d’Autigny, illegitimate son of [THIERRY de Lorraine "d'Enfer/du Diable" Seigneur d’Autigny & his mistress Alix de Nogent] (-[Nov 1292/30 Jun 1296], bur [Neufchâteau Cordeliers]). No documentary proof has been found that Ferry was the son of Thierry Seigneur d'Autigny. However, his supposed father's seigneurie was in his possession in 1244 and his arms were similar to those of the dukes of Lorraine[473]. The Papal dispensation for the marriage of his son Jean indicates consanguinity with Eudes Comte de Toul, descended from Mathieu de Lorraine Comte de Toul, which appears consistent with this supposed parentage. Goethals states that Ferry “figure dans plusieurs titre comme fils de Thierry seigneur du Chastelet dit d’Enfer et frère de Simon le Diable [chanoine de Saint-Diey]” but provides no details[474]. Seigneur d'Autigny: “Ferrion seigneur d’Autignei” was named with his wife Isabelle in a charter dated 1243[475]. Seigneur du Chastelet: “Fredico dou Chasteler et de Autigneio Dno. et Elisabbet uxori sue” donated a mill to Etanche abbey charter dated 15 Jun 1244, which also states that “pdta. uxor pnoiato F, defucto [predicta uxor prenominato F. defuncto]” her husband confirmed the donation[476]. “Ferris sires dou Chateler” exchanged property with the abbess of Létanche, with the consent of “Isabel ma fame et de Harart mon fil” by charter dated Dec 1264[477]. “Ferris dou Chastelei chevalier et...Ysabelle sa femme et...Erars lour fils” sold “partie...ou bois...Frival” to the bishop of Verdun by charter dated Mar 1270[478]. “Fridericus miles dominus de Castelleto” donated rights “in nemoribus...de Rouvre” to Neufchâteau by charter dated Nov 1292[479]. La Belgique héraldique says that Ferry died “avant 1296” and was buried “dans l’église des Cordeliers à Neufchâteau”, without citing the source which confirms his place of burial[480], the date being confirmed by the 30 Jun 1296 charter quoted below.

m (before 25 Aug 1242) ISABELLE de Marsey, daughter of ERARD de Marsey [Maizey?] & his wife Renarde --- (-after Mar 1270). “Erars sires de Marzei” sold property at “Bennoucourt et a Wimbeie...Rovroy de Hoommes et de Masnies, et Lomaige de la Deime de Rovroy...” to Raoul Bishop of Verdun, with the consent of “Dame Renarde ma femme et Ferrion mon janre signour Dautigney a la Tour et Ysabel ma file sa feme”, by charter dated 25 Aug 1242[481]. La Belgique héraldique names “Renarde sœur de Geoffroi de Joinville” as Isabelle’s mother without citing any source on which the information is based[482]. No trace of “Renarde...de Joinville” has been found in the Joinville family (see the document CHAMPAGNE NOBILITY-DAMPIERRE-sur-l’AUBE, JOINVILLE, RAMERUPT). Goethals says that Isabelle was “sœur du célèbre Jean sire de Joinville...historien du roi saint Louis”[483]. He cites no source on which he bases this information, which is disproved by the 25 Aug 1242 charter quoted above. “Ferrion seigneur d’Autignei” was named with his wife Isabelle in a charter dated 1243[484]. “Fredico dou Chasteler et de Autigneio Dno. et Elisabbet uxori sue” donated a mill to Etanche abbey charter dated 15 Jun 1244, which also states that “pdta. uxor pnoiato F, defucto [predicta uxor prenominato F. defuncto]” her husband confirmed the donation[485]. “Ferris sires dou Chateler” exchanged property with the abbess of Létanche, with the consent of “Isabel ma fame et de Harart mon fil” by charter dated Dec 1264[486]. “Ferris dou Chastelei chevalier et...Ysabelle sa femme et...Erars lour fils” sold “partie...ou bois...Frival” to the bishop of Verdun by charter dated Mar 1270[487].

Ferry & his wife had [four] children (Calmet also names “Laure du Châtelet”, wife of “Henry Comte de Salm, qui vivoit encore en 1288”[488], which is an error as Heinrich [IV] Graf von Salm married Laurette von Bliescastel as shown in the document LUXEMBOURG/SALM):

1. ERARD [I] du Chastelet (-after 30 Jun 1296). “Ferris sires dou Chateler” exchanged property with the abbess of Létanche, with the consent of “Isabel ma fame et de Harart mon fil” by charter dated Dec 1264[489]. “Ferris dou Chastelei chevalier et...Ysabelle sa femme et...Erars lour fils” sold “partie...ou bois...Frival” to the bishop of Verdun by charter dated Mar 1270[490]. “Beatrix dame de Dongeus” notified that “Ferri Duc de Loringne et Marchis et messire Ferris sire dou Chasteler qui j’ai fut” had appointed her guarantor for “Monsignor Erard dou Chasteler fil a dit Ferris” by charter dated 30 Jun 1296[491].

2. JEAN du Chastelet (-[after 19 May 1305?]). “Jehans fils monsignor Ferry dou Chastellet escuiers et dame Gill sa femme fille de monsignor Wichart signor de Passavant” exchanged her dower from “Uedon conte de Toul que ja fut mes maris” with Ferry III Duke of Lorraine, by charter dated 2 Apr 1285[492]. [It is not certain whether the following references relate to Jean du Chastelet. La Belgique Héraldique records that “Jean du Chasteler...avec son frère Thierry” left Lorraine in 1295 and that in 1305 Jean “était attaché au comte Charles de Valois”[493]. It should be noted that La Belgique Héraldique reproduces what was presumably faked documentation to “prove” the existence of Jean’s supposed brother Thierry and his alleged descendants (see below). The following documents indicate contact with the Valois family: Jean du Chastelet and his wife Agnès sold property “à Pisson et Foucheroles” to Charles Comte de Valois by charter dated 1303[494], and “...Jean de Casteleir...” was named among the guarantors for Charles Comte de Valois in the 19 May 1305 marriage contract between “Guillaume Comte de Hainaut, Hollande, Zelande et Sire de Frise” and “Jeanne fille aînée de Charles...Comte de Valois”[495]. However, the Comte du Chastel identifies the guarantor in this document as Jean du Chasteler [de Moulbais] (see the document HAINAUT)[496]. If that is correct, the connection with Charles Comte de Valois indicates that the 1303 charter would also relate to him.] m [firstly] (before 2 Apr 1285, Papal dispensation 13 Jan 1292) as her second husband, GILLETTE de Passavant, widow of EUDES Comte de Toul, daughter of GUICHARD Seigneur de Passavant & his first wife Odiarde --- (-before 1303). “Jehans fils monsignor Ferry dou Chastellet escuiers et dame Gill sa femme fille de monsignor Wichart signor de Passavant” exchanged her dower from “Uedon conte de Toul que ja fut mes maris” with Ferry III Duke of Lorraine, by charter dated 2 Apr 1285[497]. The dispensation for the marriage between “Johanne de Castelleto” and “nobili muliere Gileta de Passavant” and refers to the 3^o and 4^o consanguinity between the former and “quondam Oddo comes de Tullo, prior Giletæ maritus” is dated 13 Jan 1292[498]. [m secondly AGNES, daughter of ---. Jean du Chastelet and his wife Agnès sold property “à Pisson et Foucheroles” to Charles Comte de Valois by charter dated 1303[499]. As noted above, some doubt exists whether this document relates to Jean du Chastelet or to Jean du Chasteler [du Moulbais].] Jean & his [first] wife had [five] children:

a) [ERARD [II] du Chastelet (-[Jul 1324/25 Mar 1325]). La Belgique Héraldique records that “Erart dou Chasteleit” who married “Clémence fille de Jean, et sœur de Robin de Mirvalt ou Mirvaut” was named in 1307 and that the couple was living in 1316[500]. The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified, although the 29 Jun 1321 quoted below confirms that he was the brother of Henri who is shown below. The chronology indicates that Erard [II] was not the same person as Erard [I], given the marriage date of the latter’s parents shown above. If Erard [II] was the son of Jean du Chastelet, he presumably died before 25 Mar 1325, the date of the charter quoted below in which his supposed brother Ferry is named as seigneur du Chastelet. The other possibility is that Erard [II] was the son of Erard [I], but in that case it is unclear why his brother Henri would not have inherited the seigneurie du Chastelet rather than Ferry, son of Jean. Seigneur du Chastelet. Ferry IV Duke of Lorraine confirmed the pledge given by “nos...cusins...Monseigneur Erar Signour dou Chastellet et Monsignour Henry son freire Signeur d’Antigney Chevaliers” for “Monsignour Gauchier de Chastillon Conte de Pourciens et connestable de France” by charter dated 29 Jun 1321[501]. “Henris cuens de Vademont et Isabel de Lorhaine...sa femme” notified “messires Errars Sire dou Chastelet” of a pledge by charter dated Jul 1324[502]. m (before 1307) CLEMENCE de Muraut, daughter of JEAN de Muraut & his wife --- (-after 1316). La Belgique Héraldique records that “Erart dou Chasteleit” who married “Clémence fille de Jean, et sœur de Robin de Mirvalt ou Mirvaut” was named in 1307 and that the couple was living in 1316[503]. Calmet quotes “une généalogie manuscrite de la maison de Ville-sur-Illon, écrite vers l’an 1490” which records that “Jean de Muraut laissa deux fils ses héritiers, Robin et Jehan. Celui-ci décéda en 1307 et laissa trois enfants, un fils appellé Robin et deux filles, Clemence et Marie. Clemence épousa Erard du Châtelet et Marie épousa Gui de Sorbon seigneur de Turterin. Clemence et Erard son mari vendirent le quart de Lucey etc”[504].]

b) FERRY du Chastelet (-before 23 May 1348). Seigneur du Chastelet. “Ferry Sire dou Chastelei escuiers fils Jehan dou Chastelei qui fuit” exchanged part of mills at “Maizey” [same as “Marsey”? see his paternal grandmother’s family] with Henri Bishop of Verdun by charter dated 25 Mar 1325[505]. Ferry presumably died before 23 May 1348 when his nephew Erard [III] is named as seigneur du Chastelet (see below).

c) [HENRI du Chastelet (-[1331/Dec 1346]). Henri was recorded in the 29 Jun 1321 charter quoted below as brother of Erard [II], who as suggested above may have been the son of Jean du Chastelet. Seigneur d’Autigny. Ferry IV Duke of Lorraine confirmed the pledge given by “nos...cusins...Monseigneur Erar Signour dou Chastellet et Monsignour Henry son freire Signeur d’Antigney Chevaliers” for “Monsignour Gauchier de Chastillon Conte de Pourciens et connestable de France” by charter dated 29 Jun 1321[506]. “Henri dou Chastelei chevalier et Sires d’Attigny...Adeline ma femme” sold property “à Maizei, à Rouvroy, à Relincourt, à Gerbeiville...” to Henri Bishop of Verdun by charter dated 25 Aug 1329[507]. Henri du Chastelet Seigneur d’Autigny witnessed the charter dated 1331 under which Eudes Duke of Burgundy acquired “le château de Mullei” from “Etienne de Mont-Saint-Jean”[508]. Henri presumably died before Dec 1346, when his son Erard was named as seigneur d’Autigny.] [m firstly --- de Bauffremont, daughter of [PIERRE de Bauffremont Seigneur de Bulgnéville & his wife ---]. Europäische Stammtafeln records “Barbe †(1315)” as daughter of Pierre and her marriage shown here[509]. Dunod suggests Henri’s first marriage on the basis that “la terre de Bulligneville...possédée par ses descendans” was granted as a fief to Henri’s grandson by charter dated 1357 in which he names “feu son oncle Huet de Bauffremont Seigneur de Bulligneville”[510]. The Bauffremont name “Liébaud” given to Henri’s son (see below) suggests that Dunod may be correct. Some doubt is introduced by a later document which suggests that part of the land was inherited by the children of Erard [IV] de Chastelet through their mother: a charter dated 8 Aug 1440 records the settlement of a dispute between “Herard du Chastelet chevalier Seigneur de Dulley et de Cirey...[et] Pierre et autres mes enfans” and “Claude de Tinteville Seigneur de Chanelz et de Comarien” regarding the succession of “feu...Hue de Buligneville jadis seigneur dudit lieu...ses héritiers en partie du costé paternel...ledit Claude de Tinteville et lesdits enffans de...ledit Herard”[511]. Calmet notes “une sentence du 1 juin 1491 qui maintient Jacques, Philibert et Pierre du Châtelet en possession de la moitié de la terre de Bulgnéville, contre Jean d’Arberg fils de Jeanne de Baufremont”[512].] m [secondly] ADELINE, daughter of --- (-after 25 Aug 1329). “Henri dou Chastelei chevalier et Sires d’Attigny...Adeline ma femme” sold property “à Maizei, à Rouvroy, à Relincourt, à Gerbeiville...” to Henri Bishop of Verdun by charter dated 25 Aug 1329[513]. Calmet names “Adeline...fille de Jean Seigneur de Germiny ou Germigny chevalier et sœur de Henry Doyen de Toul, élu évêque de Verdun en 1349” as wife of Henri[514]. Henri & his [first] wife had [six] children:

i) ERARD [III] du Chastelet (-after 8 Aug 1395). Seigneur d’Autigny. Jeanne de France Duchess of Burgundy granted revenue “sur les tailles de Jussey” to “Erard seigneur d’Antigni” by charter dated Dec 1346[515]. Seigneur du Chastelet.

- see below.

ii) [AGNES du Chastelet . Calmet records her parentage and marriage, notes that her husband was living in 1359, and that “Ferry de Ludres grand pere comme il paroît de l’époux d’Agnés du Châtelet avoit épousé en 1260 la fille et héritiere de Mathieu de Lorraine Sire de Coussey”[516]. m FERRY de Ludres, son of --- (-after 1359).]

iii) [BEATRIX du Chastelet . Calmet records her parentage, marriage, and descendants, without citing the primary sources on which this information is based[517]. m HENRI [III] de Dombasle Seigneur de Dombasle, son of ---.]

iv) [JEAN du Chastelet “Sarrazin” (-after 1370). Seigneur du Chastellet: a charter dated 1 Apr 1350 details the fiefs held by “Jean Sarrazin Seigneur du Chastellet” from “M. Huë de Lorraine Seigneur de Rumigny, Aubenton et Marigny”[518]. Calmet records his parentage, notes his capture at Ligny 4 Apr 1368 “contre les Messins, il y fut fait prisonnier avec Robert Comte de Bar et 70 autres seigneurs ou chevaliers, qui ne furent élargis qu’en 1370”[519].]

v) PIERRE-LIEBAUD du Chastelet (-before 11 Jul 1401). Robert Duke of Bar granted revenue to “Liebault Seigneur du Chastellet chevalier” in return for his allegiance by charter dated 2 Feb 1383[520]. “Liebal du Chastellet chevalier et Renal dudit Chastellet ecuyer” and “Villame de Toulleyres, Simon son fil et Perrin de Deulley ecuyers” appointed the Duke of Lorraine to arbitrate disputes concerning the succession of “feu monsieur Jehan du Val chevalier” by charter dated Jun 1389[521]. He is named as deceased in the 11 Jul 1401 marriage contract of his daughter Jeannette. m [--- du Val, daughter of JEAN du Val & his wife ---. Her parentage and marriage are suggested by the following document: “Liebal du Chastellet chevalier et Renal dudit Chastellet ecuyer” and “Villame de Toulleyres, Simon son fil et Perrin de Deulley ecuyers” appointed the Duke of Lorraine to arbitrate disputes concerning the succession of “feu monsieur Jehan du Val chevalier” by charter dated Jun 1389[522].] Pierre-Liébaud & his wife had [five] children:

(a) [LIEBAUD du Chastelet (-after 1395). Dunod records that Liébaud, son of Pierre, “traita en 1372 avec Erard, Jean et Renaud ses cousins...des droits communs entre eux dans la seigneurie du Chatelet”, was named “Grand Bailli de Nanci” in 1392 and 1395, and names his descendants[523]. According to Calmet, Liébaud du Chastelet bailly de Nancy was the son of Erard [III] du Chastelet (see below)[524]. He cites no source on which this information is based. No source has been identified which confirms his actual parentage, although his name suggests Bauffremont ancestry (see his supposed paternal grandmother, above).]

(b) RENAUD du Chastelet (-after Jun 1389). “Liebal du Chastellet chevalier et Renal dudit Chastellet ecuyer” and “Villame de Toulleyres, Simon son fil et Perrin de Deulley ecuyers” appointed the Duke of Lorraine to arbitrate disputes concerning the succession of “feu monsieur Jehan du Val chevalier” by charter dated Jun 1389[525].

(c) PIERRE du Chastelet (-after 2 Aug 1403). The marriage contract between “Pierre du Chastellet chevalier fils...Liebaut du Chastellet chevalier...Jenatte dudit Chastellet soure germaine audit...Pierre et fille dudit Liebaut” and “Jean sire de Bouxierre” is dated 11 Jul 1401[526]. m as her first husband, JACQUETTE de Parroy Dame de Bioncourt, daughter of JEAN de Parroy & his wife Marguerite de Bioncourt (-after 6 Jun 1439). She married secondly Jean [V] de Pulligny. Abbé Martin records her parentage and second marriage, her second husband’s father Jean [IV] de Pulligny, her husband’s mentions in 1426 and 1436, and their son Jean [VI] who died 1466 (no sources cited)[527]. “Jacquette dame de Bioncourt, qui avoit été la femme de Pierre du Châtelet...alors veuve de son second mari Jean de Puligny ecuyer” issued a charter dated 6 Jun 1439[528].

(d) ERARD du Chastelet “le Petit Erard” (-12 Dec 1429, bur Neufchâteau Cordeliers). “Errard du Chastelet ecuyer fils de feu messire Liebaust du Chastellet chevalier et Henry et Karlet de Deüilley ecuyers freres enffens Perrin de Deüilley ecuyer que fuit” ceded “une partie du Bourg...Chastellet” to Charles Duke of Lorraine by charter dated 2 Aug 1408[529]. An epitaph at Neufchâteau Cordeliers records the burial of “noble homme écuyer Erard du Chatelet, Seigneur dudit lieu” who died 12 Dec 1429[530].

(e) JEANNETTE du Chastelet . The marriage contract between “Pierre du Chastellet chevalier fils...Liebaut du Chastellet chevalier...Jenatte dudit Chastellet soure germaine audit...Pierre et fille dudit Liebaut” and “Jean sire de Bouxierre” is dated 11 Jul 1401[531]. m (contract 11 Jul 1401) JEAN Seigneur de Bouxières, son of ---.

vi) JEAN du Chastelet . Canon at Mainz. Seigneur d’Autigny: “Noble Jehan du Chastellet sire d’Auttigny escuyer chanoine de Mayence” granted freedoms to Autigny by charter dated 16 Dec 1358[532].

d) [PIERRE du Chastelet (-after 1348). Calmet notes “une généalogie manuscrite de la maison du Châtelet” which names Pierre as “Lieutenant et Chef de l’armée de Marie de Blois duchesse de Lorraine” and “gouverneur de Château-Salins” in 1348 when Adhémar Bishop of Metz besieged the castle[533].]

e) [AGNES du Chastelet (-[1352/53], bur Clairlieu). Calmet records her parentage and marriage “vers l’an 1300”, her husband’s father’s name, her only daughter “Philiste de Lénoncourt”, her death in 1352 or 1353, her burial “à Clairleu”[534]. Calmet notes “une généalogie de la maison de Savigny” which records her marriage, her death “après l’an 1355”, and her husband’s second marriage to “Jeanne de Paroye”[535]. If her marriage date is correctly recorded, a second marriage of her husband after 1355 seems surprising. m ([1300]) THIERRY de Nancy, son of GERARD de Nancy & his wife ---.]

3. [THIERRY du Chastelet . Dunod’s 1737 Histoire de Bourgogne names a second son of Ferry named Thierry (without recording any descendants)[536]. Calmet’s 1741 Histoire de la maison du Châtelet does not name Thierry among Ferry’s children[537] and no earlier source has been found which corroborates his existence. The “faked” Lorraine descent of the Marquis du Chasteler (described in the document HAINAUT) equates him to Thierry [I] du Chasteler. As Dunod wrote a couple of decades before the Marquis du Chasteler, the conclusion must be either that he based the existence of a son named Thierry on a source which has since disappeared or that the “faked” descent was produced earlier, was used by Dunod to justify Thierry’s existence, and was later copied by the Marquis du Chasteler.]

4. ISABELLE du Chastelet . The marriage contract between “Ferris sires dou Chasteler...Ysabel ma fille” and “signour Frankoy de Longwic chevalier” is dated [24 Apr] 1272, specifying as her dowry income from land “à Rouvre”[538]. m (contract [24 Apr] 1272) FRANCON de Longwic [Longwy?], son of ---.

ERARD [III] du Chastelet, son of HENRI du Chastelet Seigneur d’Autigny & his [first wife --- de Bauffremont] (-after 8 Aug 1395). Seigneur d’Autigny. Jeanne de France Duchess of Burgundy granted revenue “sur les tailles de Jussey” to “Erard seigneur d’Antigni” by charter dated Dec 1346[539]. Seigneur du Chastelet. A charter dated 22 Jun 1348 confirming freedoms granted to Neufchâteau quotes a charter dated 23 Mar 1348 issued by “Errard Seigneur du Chastellet”[540]. “Errard Sire dou Chastellet chevalier et...Jehan fils doudit messire Errard escuyer” granted rights of repurchase of various assets to Jean Duke of Lorraine by charter dated Jan 1364[541].

m ODETTE de Chauviray Dame de Chauviray le Vieil [Comté de Bourgogne], daughter of GAUTHIER de Chauviray & his wife Isabelle d’Oiselay. Calmet records her parentage and marriage, noting the commission of the parlement de Paris dated 18 May 1347 which records that “Errard de Châtellet et Jehan de Mont-justin chevalier” were “héritiers en partie à cause de leur femmes, de feu Philippe de Chauvirey chevaillier”[542].

Erard [III] & his wife had children:

1. [ERARD du Chastelet (-after 1372). Dunod records that Liébaud du Chastelet, son of Pierre, “traita en 1372 avec Erard, Jean et Renaud ses cousins...des droits communs entre eux dans la seigneurie du Chatelet”[543]. No other reference has been found to this Erard. Maybe Dunod reproduced the charter incorrectly, especially as the Jan 1364 charter quoted below suggests that Jean was Erard [III]’s oldest son.]

2. JEAN du Chastelet (-after 1372). “Errard Sire dou Chastellet chevalier et...Jehan fils doudit messire Errard escuyer” granted rights of repurchase of various assets to Jean Duke of Lorraine by charter dated Jan 1364[544]. Dunod records that Liébaud du Chastelet, son of Pierre, “traita en 1372 avec Erard, Jean et Renaud ses cousins...des droits communs entre eux dans la seigneurie du Chatelet”[545].

3. RENAUD du Chastelet (-22 Mar 1431, bur Neufchâteau église des Cordeliers). Dunod records that Liébaud du Chastelet, son of Pierre, “traita en 1372 avec Erard, Jean et Renaud ses cousins...des droits communs entre eux dans la seigneurie du Chatelet”[546]. A charter dated May 1388 records an agreement dated 28 Apr 1388 between “Philippe Comte de Nassau et de Sarrebruche, Seigneur de Commercy” and “Regnauld de Chastelles escuyer”[547]. Co-Seigneur de Deuilley: “Regnault du Chastelet chevalier Seigneur de Deuilley en partie et dame Jeanne de Chauffour sa femme” agreed to repurchase “le four...de Serecourt” by charter dated 25 Jan 1406[548]. A charter dated 9 Apr 1410 records that “Regnaut du Châtellet chevalier...à cause de...Jeanne de Chauffour sa femme” agreed to payments owed on property “en la ville d’Ainville...à cause de feu messire Colard de Deuilly jadis grand-pere de ladite femme, à qui fut baillée il y a long-temps par feu le Comte Henry pere dudit seigneur”[549]. “Regnault du Chastelet chevalier Seigneur de Deueilley et dame Jehanne de Chauffours sa femme” divided their territories between “Errard du Chassellet chevalier seigneur de Sirey, Gerart et Philebert ses freres endans desdits...Regnault et...Jehanne, ledit Philibert licentié de son dit pere” by charter dated 17 Jul 1430[550]. m (before 1390) JEANNE de Chauffour, daughter of JEAN de Chauffour & his wife Alix de Deuilly (-28 Nov 1435, bur Neufchâteau église des Cordeliers). “Regnault du Chastelet chevalier Seigneur de Deuilley en partie et dame Jeanne de Chauffour sa femme” agreed to repurchase “le four...de Serecourt” by charter dated 25 Jan 1406[551]. “Regnault du Chastelet chevalier Seigneur de Deueilley et dame Jehanne de Chauffours sa femme” divided their territories between “Errard du Chassellet chevalier seigneur de Sirey, Gerart et Philebert ses freres endans desdits...Regnault et...Jehanne, ledit Philibert licentié de son dit pere” by charter dated 17 Jul 1430[552]. Renaud & his wife had children (Calmet records details of this couple’s descendants[553]):

a) ERARD [IV] du Chastelet (-18 Aug 1459, bur Neufchâteau Cordeliers). “Regnault du Chastelet chevalier Seigneur de Deueilley et dame Jehanne de Chauffours sa femme” divided their territories between “Errard du Chassellet chevalier seigneur de Sirey, Gerart et Philebert ses freres endans desdits...Regnault et...Jehanne, ledit Philibert licentié de son dit pere” by charter dated 17 Jul 1430[554]. A charter dated 8 Aug 1440 records the settlement of a dispute between “Herard du Chastelet chevalier Seigneur de Dulley et de Cirey...[et] Pierre et autres mes enfans” and “Claude de Tinteville Seigneur de Chanelz et de Comarien” regarding the succession of “feu...Hue de Buligneville jadis seigneur dudit lieu...ses héritiers en partie du costé paternel...ledit Claude de Tinteville et lesdits enffans de...ledit Herard”[555]. m firstly ALIX de Saint-Eulien et de Cirey, daughter of YVAIN Baron de Saint-Eulien et de Cirey & his wife Agnes Dame de Saint-Amand.

b) GERARD du Chastelet (-after 1431). “Gerard du Chastelet escuyer...à cause de Hillegart sa femme que feu Jean de Bouxieres pere de ladite Hillegart” agreed to reacquire “la forteresse d’Altrey” from Ferry de Lorraine Comte de Vaudémont and his wife by charter dated 1412[559]. “Regnault du Chastelet chevalier Seigneur de Deueilley et dame Jehanne de Chauffours sa femme” divided their territories between “Errard du Chassellet chevalier seigneur de Sirey, Gerart et Philebert ses freres endans desdits...Regnault et...Jehanne, ledit Philibert licentié de son dit pere” by charter dated 17 Jul 1430[560]. Calmet records that Gérard was captured at the battle of Bulgnéville [1431], fighting for René d’Anjou, but escaped from prison[561]. m (before 1412) HILDEGARDE de Bouxières, daughter of JEAN Seigneur de Bouxières & his wife ---. “Gerard du Chastelet escuyer...à cause de Hillegart sa femme que feu Jean de Bouxieres pere de ladite Hillegart” agreed to reacquire “la forteresse d’Altrey” from Ferry de Lorraine Comte de Vaudémont and his wife by charter dated 1412[562].

D. SEIGNEURS de DEUILLY

Deuilly is located a couple of kilometres north-west of Tignécourt in the present-day French canton of Vosges, about 60 kilometres south of Nancy. Various documents cited below record the Comtes de Bar and Comtes de Champagne as suzerains of Deuilly, and other fiefs held by the family, at different times. Poull distinguishes between “[le] château de Deuilly” (held from Champagne) and “le bourg” (Bar)[566], but the documentation suggests that the answer is not as straight-forward especially when taking the other properties into account.

GEOFFROY [I] de Vaudémont, son of GERARD [II] Comte de Vaudémont & his first wife Gertrude de Joinville (-[Mar [1239/40]/May 1240]). Poull records charters dated 1181, 1183, [1190], and 1194 in which Geoffroy was named with his parents, and dated 1195 in which his name was first linked to Deuilly (full citation references)[567]. Seigneur de Deuilly. A list of “milites ferentes Bannerias” in the county of Champagne, dated by Longnon “[1214, à Bouvines?], includes “Galfridus de Duelli”[568]. "Hugo comes Waudimontis" recorded a dispute between Montiéramey and "Urricum fratrem emum, de Mainillo Fulchardi" concerning property “in villa de Sephons”, and the settlement in his presence and that of “Gaufridus de Daulli frater meus”, by charter dated May 1215[569]. Geoffroy de Deuilly renewed his homage to the comte de Bar for Deuilly in Feb 1215 (O.S.?), May 1217 and Mar 1239 (O.S.?)[570]. Geoffroy Seigneur de Deuilly donated property to Boulancourt, with the consent of “Guillaume de Deuilly son fils et Aliénor”, by charter dated 1228[571]. "Gaufridus dominus de Dawileio" donated property to Chapelle-aux-Planches, with the consent of "Alienor uxoris mee et Guillelmi filii mei militis", by charter dated May 1233[572]. “Huardus domicellus de Beffroymont et dominus de la Rolleye” [La Rouillie] confirmed donations to Flabémont abbey made by “patre meo Leobaudo” by charter dated Jul 1238, witnessed by “domini de Savilley avunculi mei et domini de Beffroymont fratris mei”[573]. Poull indicates that “domini de Savilley” was Geoffroy Seigneur de Deuilly[574]: if he is correct, the precise family relationship represented by the term “avunculus” has not been ascertained. Geoffroy may have died before May 1240, the date of his son’s charter cited below (although it is unclear from Poull’s summary of that document whether Guillaume was “seigneur” at the time). Calmet, on the other hand, says that "on croit que Geoffroy de Deuilly mourut en 1248”, without elaborating on the basis for this speculation although presumably it is based on his report of the 1248 mention of his son Guillaume cited below[575].

m firstly ([1196]) as her second husband, BEATRIX de Champlitte, widow of SIMON [III] Seigneur de Clefmont, daughter of EUDES [I] "le Champenois" & his wife Sibylle --- (-[1217/19]). The primary source which confirms her parentage and two marriages has not been identified. “Béatrix dame de Clefmont d’accord avec Simon V son fils et Robert trésorier de Langres” donated rights to use woods collect building material to the church of Notre-Dame de Bourg[-Sainte-Marie], for the souls of “Simon IV son mari tué dans l’expédition de Jérusalem et de son fils Guichard”, by charter dated [14 Apr 1191/5 Apr 1192][576]. According to the charter dated Apr 1209, under which [her son] “Simon de Claromonte” acknowledged Blanche comtesse de Champagne as his suzerain, he inherited property “apud Firmitatem super Albam et in Nundinis Campaniæ quod est ex parte matris meæ”[577]. The question of her marriages is confused by the following document: [her son] Guillaume de Deuilly sold “une partie des biens qui lui sont revenus lorsqu’il est entré en possession de l’héritage de sa mère”, committing to obtain the consent of “Haymon domino Fuscensii, son demi-frère”, by charter dated Apr 1226, confirmed by the bishop of Langres who specified that “Haymon” was “filiaster, c’est à dire le beau-fils de Joffroi sire de Deuilly”[578]. The place indicated by “Fuscencii” has not been identified, although it seems unlikely to refer to Clefmont (the property of Béatrix’s known first husband). Could the document refer to Béatrix’s son by an otherwise unrecorded second marriage? If that is correct, it is unclear why the interests of Simon [IV] Seigneur de Clefmont, her older son by her first marriage, would have been ignored in the Apr 1226 document. The other possibility is therefore that “Haymon” represents a mistranscription for “Simon”, although in that case “Fuscensii” remains unexplained.

[m secondly ([1219/Oct 1222]) HELVIDE, daughter of --- (-[Oct 1222/early 1226]). Poull records that Geoffroy de Deuilly and his wife Helvide sold the mill at Longeville de Boulancourt by charter dated Oct 1222[579]. Calmet, on the other hand, says that "sa femme Eleonore” ratified the donations made by “Geoffroy de Deuilly son mari" to the monks of Boulancourt in 1222 and 1223, and that Geoffroy donated property to Flabémont, with the consent of “son fils Guillaume” and for the souls of himself and “Eleonore sa femme”, in 1223[580]. Poull neither mentions other donations to Boulancourt in 1222 and 1223 nor a donation to Flabémont in 1223. If Calmet correctly records these donations (he provides no source citations), maybe “Helvide” in Poull’s record of the Oct 1222 charter represents a mistranscription (either his own or in the source which he consulted) for “Eléonore”. If that is correct, maybe this supposed second marriage did not take place.]

m [secondly/thirdly] ([1225?/Dec 1226]) [as her second husband,] ELEONORE Dame d’Ervy, [widow of MILON Seigneur d’Ervy,] daughter of --- (-after May 1233). “Alienordis domina de Herviaco” donated money, guaranteed by “dominus Gaufridus de Dawilliaco, cum me duxit in uxorem” assigned “in terra de Bieaufort...apud Longe Ville...”, to Pontigny by charter dated to [25 Mar 1226/24 Mar 1227][581]. “Gaufridus dominus de Dansly...laudante Alienor uxor mea” confirmed a donation, made by “Milo dominus de Herviaco, predecessor meus” in 1213 to Pontigny for the soul of “uxoris mee Helisabet”, by charter dated Dec 1226[582]. Poull says that “Miles sire d’Ervy” was Eléonore’s first husband[583], but the Dec 1226 document describes him only as “predecessor” of Geoffroy de Deuilly. Geoffroy Seigneur de Deuilly donated property to Boulancourt, with the consent of “Guillaume de Deuilly son fils et Aliénor”, by charter dated 1228[584]. "Gaufridus dominus de Dawileio" donated property to Chapelle-aux-Planches, with the consent of "Alienor uxoris mee et Guillelmi filii mei militis", by charter dated May 1233[585].

Geoffroy [I] & his first wife had [two] children:

1. GUILLAUME de Deuilly ([1197/1200?]-[13 Jul 1265/Jun 1272]). His date of birth is suggested on the assumption that he was born soon after his parents’ marriage, considering that his mother had children several years before by her first marriage. Poull records charters dated 1209, 1212, 1213, 1217, and 1218 in which Guillaume was named with his parents, dated 1220, Apr 1222, Oct 1222, Oct 1224, Feb 1231 (O.S.?), Mar 1231 (O.S.), and May 1233 with his father (full citation references)[586]. Guillaume de Deuilly sold “une partie des biens qui lui sont revenus lorsqu’il est entré en possession de l’héritage de sa mère”, committing to obtain the consent of “Haymon domino Fuscensii, son demi-frère”, by charter dated Apr 1226, confirmed by the bishop of Langres who specified that Aimon was “filiaster, c’est à dire le beau-fils de Joffroi sire de Deuilly”[587]. Geoffroy Seigneur de Deuilly donated property to Boulancourt, with the consent of “Guillaume de Deuilly son fils et Aliénor”, by charter dated 1228[588]. "Gaufridus dominus de Dawileio" donated property to Chapelle-aux-Planches, with the consent of "Alienor uxoris mee et Guillelmi filii mei militis", by charter dated May 1233[589]. Seigneur de Deuilly. Guillaume de Deuilly donated property at “Viviers les Provenchères” to Relanges priory, with the consent of his wife Cécile and his son Pierre, by charter dated May 1240[590], although Poull’s report of this donation does not specify whether Guillaume was named as “seigneur” in the document. Calmet records that in 1248 Guillaume (from the context as “seigneur de Deuilly”, although his text does not specify this explicitly) sold his rights in "[les] villages de Stront et d’Amancourt” to “Gautier dit Peucer, habitant de Nogent en Bassigni”[591]. The abbot of Luxeuil granted “le fief qu’Aubert sire de Darney tenait du sire de Deuilly” to Thibaut Comte de Bar by charter dated May 1248[592]. “Guillaume sire de Deuilly fils de Joffroi”, with the consent of “Alix sa femme et de Joffroi son fils aîné”, granted the fiefs (at “Vaudoncourt, Sauville, Bulgnéville et Médonville”) held from him by “Aubert sire de Damey son niez” to Thibaut Comte de Bar by charter dated Apr 1256[593]. Homages sworn to Thibaut Comte de Champagne include “Monseigneur Guillaume de Duili, ligez après le conte de Bar du donnion de la forteresse du chastel de Duili...et moult de fiez à la Fermeté et en la chastellenie”, noting that in 1256 he delivered “ycelle chose des seignouries auz seigneurs de Champaigne”[594]. Calmet records that in 1248 Guillaume (from the context as “seigneur de Deuilly”, although his text does not specify this explicitly) sold his rights in "[les] villages de Stront et d’Amancourt” to “Gautier dit Peucer, habitant de Nogent en Bassigni”[595]. Poull records other charters dated 15 Apr 1252, Oct 1255, Dec 1256, Jan 1257 (O.S.?), and 13 Jul 1265 which name Guillaume (full citation references)[596]. “Guillaume seigneur de Deuilly”, having granted a fief held from Thibaut V Comte de Champagne to “Joffroi son fils”, requested Comte Thibaut to receive Geoffroy’s homage by charter dated 13 Jul 1265[597]. Guillaume presumably died before Jun 1272 when Anseau was recorded as Seigneur de Deuilly (see below). m firstly CECILE, daughter of --- (-[May 1240/1246]). Guillaume de Deuilly donated property at “Viviers les Provenchères” to Relanges priory, with the consent of his wife Cécile and his son Pierre, by charter dated May 1240[598]. m secondly ([May 1240/1246]) ALIX, daughter of --- (-after Apr 1256). Poull records that Guillaume’s wife Alix was named in a charter dated 1246 (no details)[599]. “Guillaume sire de Deuilly fils de Joffroi”, with the consent of “Alix sa femme et de Joffroi son fils aîné”, granted the fiefs (at “Vaudoncourt, Sauville, Bulgnéville et Médonville”) held from him by “Aubert sire de Damey son niez” to Thibaut Comte de Bar by charter dated Apr 1256[600]. Guillaume & his first wife had [four] children:

a) PIERRE de Deuilly ([1225/30?]-after May 1240). Guillaume de Deuilly donated property at “Viviers les Provenchères” to Relanges priory, with the consent of his wife Cécile and his son Pierre, by charter dated May 1240[601]. His date of birth is estimated from his father’s estimated birth date. Pierre presumably died before Apr 1256 when his brother Geoffroy was named with their parents as their oldest son, as noted below.

b) GEOFFROY [II] de Deuilly ([1226/33?]-after 13 Jul 1265). His birth date is estimated from his older brother’s estimated birth date. “Guillaume sire de Deuilly fils de Joffroi”, with the consent of “Alix sa femme et de Joffroi son fils aîné”, granted the fiefs (at “Vaudoncourt, Sauville, Bulgnéville et Médonville”) held from him by “Aubert sire de Damey son niez” to Thibaut Comte de Bar by charter dated Apr 1256[602]. “Guillaume seigneur de Deuilly”, having granted a fief held from Thibaut V Comte de Champagne to “Joffroi son fils”, requested Comte Thibaut to receive Geoffroy’s homage by charter dated 13 Jul 1265[603]. In this connection, Calmet says that this grant is listed "dans le Registre de Champagne fol. 421” which records that “son pere lui donna tout ce qu’il avoit sur les foires de Troyes et de Bar, et dans la terre de la Ferté” for which he swore homage to Thibaut V Comte de Champagne, King of Navarre “le Jeudy prochain avant la division des Apôtres 1255”[604]. This record has not been found in Longnon’s records of Champagne fiefs. It is assumed that Calmet was somewhat confused by the different homages sworn to Champagne by the Deuilly family, as in a later passage he says that "Geoffroy, Seigneur de Deuilly III. du nom, apparamment fils de Geoffroy II” swore homage “de son Château de Deuilly au Comte de Champagne en 1265”[605], which seems to refer to the 13 Jul 1265 homage recorded by Poull. No other record has been found of this supposed Geoffroy [III]. No record has been found confirming that Geoffroy [II] succeeded his father as Seigneur de Deuilly but, if he did, he must have died before Jun 1272 when Anseau was recorded as seigneur (see below).

c) [NICOLAS de Deuilly (-31 Mar ----, after 1265). Poull suggests that Nicolas was a younger son of Guillaume (which appears consistent with the date of the 19 Jun 1265 charter), noting his appointment as chancellor of Remiremont, reported in a document dated 19 Jun 1265, his date of death, and his donations to Remiremont[606].]

d) [MARGUERITE de Deuilly (-[12 Aug or 16 Sep] before 1316). Poull suggests that Marguerite was the daughter of Guillaume, noting that she was a nun at Remiremont, and her possible dates of death[607]. Presumably, other alternatives include Anseau de Deuilly or Geoffroy [II] as her father.]

2. [GILLE [de Deuilly] (-[Mar [1254/55]/Feb [1259/60]). “Guillaume sire de Deuilly fils de Joffroi”, with the consent of “Alix sa femme et de Joffroi son fils aîné”, granted the fiefs (at “Vaudoncourt, Sauville, Bulgnéville et Médonville”) held from him by “Aubert sire de Damey son niez” to Thibaut Comte de Bar by charter dated Apr 1256[608]. Poull, assuming that “niez” should be interpreted in its strict sense of nephew, names “Gille” as second wife of “Aubert sire de Darney chevalier” who was named in documents dated from 1213 and who donated property to Droiteval, with the consent of “Gile son épouse ainsi que de Jean et Aubertin ses fils” by charter dated Mar 1254 (O.S.?), while Aubert donated property to Morimond, with the consent of “Jean et Aubertin ses frères”, for the souls of his parents by charter dated Feb 1259 (O.S.?)[609]. Other possibilities include the Darney/Deuilly family relationship being through Guillaume’s mother or wife. m as his second wife, AUBERT Seigneur de Darney, son of --- (-[Mar [1254/55]/Apr 1256).]

The parentage of Anseau de Deuilly has not been ascertained. Poull suggests that he was a younger son of Guillaume Seigneur de Deuilly, younger than his supposed brother Colin (see below for discussion about Colin’s parentage)[610], which does not seem possible if Anseau succeeded as “seigneur de Deuilly”. Calmet says that he was "fils de Geoffroy [presumably indicating Geoffroy [I]] et frere de Villaume [indicating Guillaume, son of Geoffroy [I]]”[611], which does not explain his succession as “seigneur” either unless Guillaume died without surviving issue. Presumably another explanation could be that Anseau held the seigneurie during the minority of Colin Seigneur de Deuilly, as the most senior male representative of the family. If that is correct, he could have been the son of Geoffroy [I], the chronology suggesting that he would have been born to Geoffroy’s [second/third] wife Eléonore.

1. ANSEAU de Deuilly (-before 1283). Seigneur de Deuilly. Poull says that Anseau “sire de Deuilly” ordered “son maire de Richebourg” to pay “une redevance aux moines du Val des Ecoliers” dated “le lundi après la fête de St-Jean-Baptiste 1272”[612]. Homages sworn to Blanche d’Artois Ctss de Champagne, Queen of Navarre dated 1274-1275 include “Ansiaus de Diuilli” holding from “ma dame la roïne...le donjon de Diuilli ligement et ce que il a ligement à la Ferté sus Aube...[et] à Longe-Vile et à Hemetel et à Chavanges en la chatelerie de Biaufort...et dou donjon de Diuilli...[et] à Fontenoy” in the bailliage de Chaumont “en la châtelerie de la Ferté sus Aube”[613]. Calmet says that Anseau "vivoit encore en 1276, selon le Manuscrit de M. d’Hozier”[614]. The existence of Anseau as seigneur de Deuilly is confirmed by Colin Seigneur de Deuilly granting rights to the people of Chavanges and Fontenoy, confirming the acts of his predecessors in particular “Anseau sire de Deuilly”, by charter dated 1283 (see below)[615].

Two brothers. Their sibling relationship is confirmed by the Sep 1285 charter cited below, but their precise parentage has not been ascertained. Poull says that they were sons of Guillaume Seigneur de Deuilly, and that “Colin” succeeded Guillaume as seigneur, his older brothers Pierre and Geoffroy [II] having died[616]. The chronology of Colin’s descendants suggests a problem with that supposition. Calmet notes that Colin and Guillaume were brothers, but he does not name their father[617]. The question is complicated by the existence of Anseau Seigneur de Deuilly (see above). As suggested above, one explanation for Anseau holding the seigneurie is that Colin was a minor when he succeeded with Anseau, his guardian, named “seigneur” in that capacity. If that is correct, Colin and Guillaume could have been sons of Geoffroy [II], born maybe in [1255/60]. That date would be consistent with Colin’s first mention as seigneur in 1283, by which time he would have reached the age of majority, and also seems consistent with the chronology of Colin’s descendants.

1. COLIN [Nicolas?] de Deuilly ([1255/60?]-after May 1287). Seigneur de Deuilly. Colin Seigneur de Deuilly granted rights to the people of Chavanges and Fontenoy, confirming the acts of his predecessors in particular “Anseau sire de Deuilly”, by charter dated 1283[618]. Colin Seigneur de Deuilly sold certain rights in various fiefs to the Comte de Bar by charter dated Sep 1285, sealed by “Guillaume de Deuilly moine de Saint-Epvre de Toul et prieur de Deuilly frère de Colin...”[619]. Colin Seigneur de Deuilly swore homage to Othon Comte Palatin de Bourgogne for his fiefs at “Godoncourt...”, by charter dated Apr 1286[620]. Calmet records that "Colin Sire de Deuilly écuyer” donated property to Flabémont, with the consent of “Hailis sa femme", by charter dated May 1287[621]. m ALIX, daughter of --- (-after May 1287). Colin Seigneur de Deuilly granted rights to the people of Chavanges and Fontenoy, confirming the acts of his predecessors in particular “Anseau sire de Deuilly”, and naming his wife Alix, by charter dated 1283[622]. Calmet records that "Colin Sire de Deuilly écuyer” donated property to Flabémont, with the consent of “Hailis sa femme", by charter dated May 1287[623]. Colin & his wife had children:

a) JEAN de Deuilly (-after 1318). Seigneur de Deuilly. Poull, noting Jean as the son of Colin, says that a charter dated late-Apr 1303 records that “Jean sire de Deuilly...[précisant] sa filiation” took control of Boulancourt priory from Henri Comte de Vaudémont, listing the priory’s properties[624]. Referring to the same document, Calmet says that it names “Jean de Deuilly, fils de René de Deuilly”[625]: no other reference to “René” has been found, this contradiction remaining unexplained. Calmet records that “Jean et Henry freres, Seigneurs de Deuilly” reached agreement with Flabémont in Aug 1305 and were also named in another charter of Flabémont dated 1314[626]. Calmet says that “Jean Sire de Montreuil sur Saone” granted “le donjon de Deuilly à Jean Sire de Deuilly” for his services in 1312, that Jean was captured in 1313 at the battle of Frouard while serving Edouard Comte de Bar, that Jean confirmed a donation to Flabémont in 1315, and that “Jean Chevalier Sire de Deuilly et Marguerite sa femme” were named in another charter of Flabémont dated 1318[627]. m MARGUERITE, daughter of --- (-after 1318). Calmet records that “Jean Chevalier Sire de Deuilly et Marguerite sa femme” were named in a charter of Flabémont dated 1318[628].

b) HENRI de Deuilly (-2 Mar 1348, bur Flabémont). Seigneur de Deuilly. Calmet records that “Jean et Henry freres, Seigneurs de Deuilly” reached agreement with Flabémont in Aug 1305 (although he later contradicts himself about the family relationship by saying that “Henri Chevalier Sire de Deuilly fut apparemment fils de Jean”)[629].

- see below.

c) [JEANNE [Sibylle] de Deuilly (-18 Oct before 1338). Poull suggests her parentage, noting that she was a nun at Remiremont, and was later abbess of Poussay, and died before 1338, commemorated 18 Oct in one of the necrologies of Remiremont[630].]

2. GUILLAUME de Deuilly (-after May 1287). Poull records sources dated Sep 1285 (as Prior of Deuilly and monk at Saint-Epvre de Toul, when he sealed a document of Colin his brother, see below) and in May 1287 (sealing his brother’s donation to Flabémont) in which he was named[631]. Prior of Deuilly.

HENRI de Deuilly, son of COLIN [Nicolas?] Seigneur de Deuilly & his wife Alix --- (-2 Mar 1348, bur Flabémont). Seigneur de Deuilly. Calmet records that “Jean et Henry freres, Seigneurs de Deuilly” reached agreement with Flabémont in Aug 1305 (although he later contradicts himself about the family relationship by saying that “Henri Chevalier Sire de Deuilly fut apparemment fils de Jean”) and were also named in another charter of Flabémont dated 1314[632]. Calmet records that Henri was named in documents dated 1320, 1321 (as “Châtelain de Coëssy dans un traîté passé à Paris”), 1339 (acknowledged holding Deuilly from the Comte de Bar), and that he died “le Dimanche avant les Brandons, l’an 1347 [O.S.?] selon le compte du Domaine de Champagne” (citing “M. Dufourny, Généalogie de Deuilly”)[633]. “Henry et Colas Chevaliers Seigneurs de Deuilly” reached agreement with “les Communes de Deuilly et de Serocourt” by charter dated 1342[634]. “Messire Henry de Deuilly chevalier et Colin ses filz” confirmed holding “la maison fort de Remonville” from “monsiour Liebaus signour de Boffromont”, confirming his earlier agreement with “monsiour Vauthier signour de Boffromont cui Diey ait”, by charter dated 6 Mar 1345 (O.S.)[635].

m (before Jan 1319) LAURE de Bauffremont, daughter of PIERRE de Bauffremont Seigneur de Removille & his wife Marguerite d’Autrey (-before 1341, bur Flabémont). Calmet says that Henri married “Dame Lore”, without specifying her family origin, noting that the couple donated a mill to Flabémont in Jan 1318 (O.S.?)[636]. Europäische Stammtafeln shows her parentage and marriage[637]. Her parentage is indicated by the charters dated 6 Mar 1345 (O.S.) and 3 Feb 1348 (O.S.) under which her husband and sons Colin and Simon swore homage to the Seigneur de Bauffremont for Removille. She died before 1341 when her son Jean was assessed for one of her fiefs (see below).

Henri & his wife had six children:

1. COLIN [Colard/Nicolas] de Deuilly (-after 21 Sep 1360). Poull records sources dated 1 Feb 1337 and Sep 1339 in which he was named[638]. Seigneur de Deuilly. “Henry et Colas Chevaliers Seigneurs de Deuilly” reached agreement with “les Communes de Deuilly et de Serocourt” by charter dated 1342[639]. “Messire Henry de Deuilly chevalier et Colin ses filz” confirmed holding “la maison fort de Remonville” from “monsiour Liebaus signour de Boffromont”, confirming his earlier agreement with “monsiour Vauthier signour de Boffromont cui Diey ait”, by charter dated 6 Mar 1345 (O.S.)[640]. Poull records other sources dated Jul 1340, 1343, 1345, 1349, 1350, and 21 Sep 1360 in which he was named[641]. m ([Aug] 1335) AGNES de Haraucourt, daughter of GERARD de Haraucourt & his wife Marguerite --- (-5 Aug ----). Henri Comte de Vaudémont granted a loan to “Colart de Deuilly, Chevalier”, to be repaid “à la Pentecôte 1336”, on his marriage to “Agnes fille de Gerard Seigneur d’Haraucourt, Seigneur de Loup” by charter dated Aug 1335[642]. The necrology of Les Dames Précheresses de Nancy records the death 5 Aug of “Nobilis domine Annetis uxor domini Nicholay de Deulleyo militis”[643]. Colin & his wife had two children:

a) ALIX de Deuilly (-after 21 Jan 1401). Her parentage is confirmed, and her first marriage indicated, by the 9 Apr 1410 charter cited below. Poull records her first husband’s name, his parents, his children by his first marriage, his date of death “à l’issue d’une existence mouvementée”, and details of her second marriage[644]. m firstly as his second wife, JEAN Seigneur de Chauffour, son of JEAN Seigneur de Chauffour & his wife Marguerite d’Echalot (-[1380]). m secondly ([1380/8 May 1382) JEAN de Montferrand co-Seigneur de Cusey, son of ---. One child:

i) JEANNE de Chauffour (-28 Nov 1435, bur Neufchâteau église des Cordeliers). Poull records her parentage, her marriage date, and her husband’s homage 21 Jan 1401 to the French king “au nom de dame Alix de Deuilly, mère de Jeanne de Chauffour son épouse, pour le château de Deuilly, qui a jadis fut à messire Collart dudit Deuilly, père à la-dite damoiselle Alix”, and the couple’s dates of death and place of burial[645]. “Regnault du Chastelet chevalier Seigneur de Deuilley en partie et dame Jeanne de Chauffour sa femme” agreed to repurchase “le four...de Serecourt” by charter dated 25 Jan 1406[646]. A charter dated 9 Apr 1410 records that “Regnaut du Châtellet chevalier...à cause de...Jeanne de Chauffour sa femme” agreed to payments owed on property “en la ville d’Ainville...à cause de feu messire Colard de Deuilly jadis grand-pere de ladite femme, à qui fut baillée il y a long-temps par feu le Comte Henry pere dudit seigneur”[647]. “Regnault du Chastelet chevalier Seigneur de Deueilley et dame Jehanne de Chauffours sa femme” divided their territories between “Errard du Chassellet chevalier seigneur de Sirey, Gerart et Philebert ses freres endans desdits...Regnault et...Jehanne, ledit Philibert licentié de son dit pere” by charter dated 17 Jul 1430[648]. m (before 1390) RENAUD Seigneur du Chastelet, son of ERARD [III] Seigneur du Chastelet & his wife Odette de Chauviray (-22 Mar 1431, bur Neufchâteau église des Cordeliers). Co-Seigneur de Deuilly et de Removille.

b) MARGUERITE de Deuilly . Poull records her parentage, her marriage, and details of her husband’s career[649]. m as his second wife, JEAN d’Haussonville, son of BURNEQUIN d’Haussonville & his wife Hauwix de Varize (-15 Aug 1400, bur Belchamps).

2. JEAN de Deuilly (-after 15 Jun 1362). “Jehan de Duilly escuier” was assessed for “le fié qui eschey à ma dame Lore sa mere et jadiz fame mon seigneur Henry de Duilly chevalier” in “la baillie de Chaumont” dated 1341[650], Jean presumably being adult at the time. Poull records sources dated 9 Jan 1358 (O.S.?), 21 Apr 1359, 23 May 1359, and 15 Jun 1362 in which he was named[651].

3. SIMON de Deuilly (-[1365/67]). Seigneur de Removille: “Simon de Deuilley ecuyer fils de feu monsignour Henry de Deuilley chevalier” swore homage to “monsignour Liebauz signour de Beffromont” for “la forte maison de Remonvile” by charter dated 3 Feb 1348 (O.S.)[652]. - see below.

4. ALIX de Deuilly (-after 1343). Calmet records her parentage, noting that she was a nun at Poulengy and received annual payments from 1343[653].

5. [MARGUERITE de Deuilly (-14 Sep 1390). Poull suggests her parentage, noting that she was a nun at Remiremont before 13 May 1366 and died “très âgée au cours de 1390”, being recorded 14 Sep in the necrology of Remiremont[654].]

6. [CLEMENCE de Deuilly (-Nov 1359). Poull suggests her parentage, noting that she was a nun at Epinal in [1340], and died Nov 1359[655].]

The reconstruction of the later generations of this family shown below is based on Poull, who cites numerous sources which confirm the family relationships[656]. On the other hand, Calmet records some additional family members whose existence has not been verified. For example, he adds “Guyot/Guy de Deuilly” as third son of Simon de Deuilly, after Pierre and Jean[657]. Calmet does not name Simon’s son Jacques (shown by Poull as the second son, the family relationship being confirmed, he says, by a 1393 document), which suggests possible confusion about the names of Simon’s sons. Calmet also names “Vari de Deuilly” (named in documents dated 1456 and 1488, “apparamment père de Henri de Deuilly” named in 1512) and “Colart de Deuilly” (named in 1444) as sons of Charles de Deuilly and supposed brothers of Catherine who is shown by Poull as Charles’s only child[658]. This suggestion does not appear consistent with Catherine’s inheritance of the family properties, and her own succession which was disputed between her children by her two husbands. Presumably it is possible that “Vari” and “Colart” were illegitimate children of the Deuilly family.

SIMON de Deuilly, son of HENRI Seigneur de Deuilly & his wife Laure de Bauffremont (-[1365/67]). Seigneur de Removille: “Simon de Deuilley ecuyer fils de feu monsignour Henry de Deuilley chevalier” swore homage to “monsignour Liebauz signour de Beffromont” for “la forte maison de Remonvile” by charter dated 3 Feb 1348 (O.S.)[659]. Poull records sources dated end-Dec 1343, 1349, 28 Mar 1354 in which he was named, adding that he died “entre 1365 et 1367”[660].

m JEANNE de Serrières, daughter of PIERRE de Serrières Seigneur de Belleville & his wife --- (-after 1385). She married secondly Carlet de Châtel Seigneur de Fontenoy. Poull records her parentage and two marriages, citing documents dated between 1334 and 1356 which name her father, a charter dated 18 May 1367 under which she and her children swore homage to the Duc de Bar, her delivery of Removille to the English in 1374, and her date of death[661].

Simon & his wife had five children:

1. PIERRE [Perrin] de Deuilly (-[1406/Aug 1408], bur [Flabémont]). Co-Seigneur de Deuilly et de Removille. Poull cites numerous documents dated between Jun 1367 and 1406 in which he was named[662]. m ---. The name of Pierre’s wife is not known. Pierre & his wife had [four] children:

a) CHARLES [Charlot/Karlet] de Deuilly (-14 [Jun/Dec] 1419). Co-Seigneur de Deuilly et de Removille. Poull cites numerous documents dated between 27 Oct 1404 and 20 Mar 1419 in which he was named, including the destruction of Deuilly by Renaud du Chastelet (see above) and the revenge capture of Le Chastelet by Charles and his brother, who sold their properties to the Duke of Lorraine 2 Aug 1408/10 Feb 1409[663]. m (early 1406) JEANNE de Ludres, daughter of COLIGNON de Ludres Seigneur de Brémoncourt & his wife Catherine de Rosières (-after 24 Apr 1421). Charles & his wife had one child:

i) CATHERINE de Deuilly ([end 1406/early 1407]-[2 Jul 1478/5 May 1480]). Poull records that Catherine inherited “des châteaux et seigneuries de Deuilly, Removille et Brémoncourt dont les dépendances sont considérables”, names her children by both marriages, and notes the disputed succession between her descendants from her two marriages which followed her death[664]. m firstly ANTOINE de Ville-sur-Illon, son of ANDRE de Ville-sur-Illon & his wife Isabelle d’Epinal (-killed in battle Bulgnéville 2 Jul 1431). m secondly ([16 Mar 1440/1444]) JACQUES de Haraucourt Seigneur de Germiny, son of JEAN de Haraucourt & his wife Catherine d’Amance (-1476, before 18 Sep, bur Bayon).

b) HENRI de Deuilly (-[1404/21]).

c) [JEANNE de Deuilly (-after 1414). m (before 1414) GILLES dit Treuvedenier de Neufchâteau, son of ---.]

d) [ALEYDIS de Deuilly (-1419).]

2. JACQUES de Deuilly (-after 1393). Poull cites documents dated Jul/Aug 1369, 16 Apr 1370, 27 Jul 1383, and 1393 (with his brothers Pierre and Jean) in which he was named[665].

3. JEAN de Deuilly (-after 1393). Named with his brothers Pierre and Jacques in a document dated 1393[666].

4. AGNES de Deuilly (-before 1390). Poull records information about her husband’s family (he was half-brother of Jeanne de Chauffour, shown above as daughter of Alix de Deuilly), his second marriage, and children by both marriages[667]. m as his first wife, GUILLAUME dit Raillart du Chauffour Seigneur de Marac, son of JEAN Seigneur de Chauffour & his first wife --- (-after 1422).

5. COMTESSE de Deuilly (-after 1396). Poull speculates about her husband’s parentage, provides details about his career, and names the couple’s two daughters[668]. m GEOFFROY de Fontenoy, son of [CHARLES [Carlet] de Châtel Seigneur de Fontenoy & his first wife ---] (-after 5 Dec 1415).

E. SEIGNEURS de FLORANGES

Floranges (Flörchingen in German) is situated on the west bank of the Moselle river, on the southern outskirts of Thionville about 10 kilometres south of the present-day border between France and Luxembourg and about 15 kilometres north of Metz, in the French département of Moselle. Calmet says that Floranges was an ancient royal palace which Emperor Lothar granted to his nephew Robert de Lorraine, son of Simon I Duke of Lorraine, in 1136 (which date seems chronologically impossible)[669]. Poull records that the grant of Floranges was made in 1153 to Duke Mathieu I (presumably by Friedrich I King of Germany, later Emperor Friedrich I)[670]. The date when Floranges passed to Duke Mathieu’s younger brother Robert, shown below, is not known.

ROBERT [I] de Lorraine, son of SIMON I Duke of Lorraine & his wife Adelaide de Louvain (before 1139-before 1206, bur Sturzelbronn [Stulzbron][671]). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines in 1193 names "dux Matheus et Robertus" as sons of "ducis Symonis"[672]. “Matthæus Lotharingiæ dux et marchio” granted toll exemptions at Neuf-château to the abbey of Saint-Bénigne de Dijon, with the consent of “dominæ Berthæ sucissæ uxoris meæ et Roberti fratris mei et filiorum meorum Simonis et Friderici”, by charter dated 14 Oct 1166[673]. Comte [de ---]: “Berta ducissa et dux Simon filius meus” confirmed donations which “maritum meum…ducem Mathæum” wished to make at the end of his life by charter dated 1176, subscribed by “…Robertus comes frater Mathæi ducis…”[674]. “Dominus Symon dux, comes Robertus patruus eius…” subscribed a charter dated to [1176/79] under which Thierry elect of Metz confirmed rights of Gorze Abbey[675]. Seigneur de Floranges: “Robert I Herr von Flörchingen” donated rights to Justemont by charter dated 1193[676]. Poull records other documents dated 4 Mar 1159, 1165, 1166, 1168, 14 May 1176, 13 Sep 1179, and 18 Oct 1194 in which Robert was named[677]. Robert presumably died before 1206, the date of his son Philippe’s charter cited below.

m EUPHEMIA, daughter of --- (-after 1193). Poull records her marriage, noting a charter dated 1193 which names the couple[678]. Calmet says that Robert married “Demundes fille et héritière d’Oaldus Comte de Boulay...bienfaiteur de l’abbaye de Freistroff, fondée en 1130” who died 1183 and was buried at Freistorff (no sources cited)[679]. He assumes that Robert who married Euphemia was the son of Robert and “Demundes”[680], although the sources cited in this section indicate the existence of only one Robert. It is presumably possible that Robert [I] married an earlier wife, but not “Demundes” who was apparently the wife of Robert [II] (see below).

Robert [I] & his wife had two children:

1. PHILIPPE [I] de Floranges (-[30 Nov 1228/1235?], bur Justemont). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines in 1193 names "Philippi de Florehenges" as son of "Robertus [filius] ducis Symonis"[681]. His parentage is confirmed by the Nov 1253 document quoted below under his grandson Philippe [II]. “Philippus dominus de Floreengens” confirmed the donation to Justemont made by “pater meus Robertus”, with the consent of “uxoris mee Matildis et filii mei Roberti et fratris mei R.”, by charter dated 1206[682]. Müsebeck cites other charters dated 2 Nov 1208, Apr 1210, and 10 Jul 1220 in which Philippe is named[683]. Philippe confirmed the donation made by his father Robert to Justemont by charter dated 1221[684]. Poull cites other documents which name Philippe: undated (swearing allegiance for Floranges to Mathieu II Duke of Lorraine, so dated after early 1220, presumably required after Mathieu’s succession), 16 Feb 1224 (swearing allegiance to the comte de Luxembourg for Floranges: this change of suzerain has not been explained), and 30 Nov 1228. Poull suggests that Philippe [I] died “vers 1235”, and records his burial at Justemont[685]. m MATHILDE, daughter of --- (-after 1206). “Philippus dominus de Floreengens” confirmed the donation to Justemont made by “pater meus Robertus”, with the consent of “uxoris mee Matildis et filii mei Roberti et fratris mei R.”, by charter dated 1206[686]. Philippe [I] & his wife had two children:

a) ROBERT [II] de Floranges (-[1250], bur [Justemont]). His parentage is confirmed by the Nov 1253 document quoted below under his son Philippe [II]. “Philippus dominus de Floreengens” confirmed the donation to Justemont made by “pater meus Robertus”, with the consent of “uxoris mee Matildis et filii mei Roberti et fratris mei R.”, by charter dated 1206[687]. Seigneur de Floranges.

- see below.

b) PHILIPPE de Floranges (-20 Dec 1297, bur Metz Cathedral). Poull names Philippe as son of Philippe de Floranges[688]. Calmet is more cautious, indicating that “je conjecture que Philippe de Florenges dénommé en 1223 peut être père de Philippe de Florenges Evêque de Metz”[689]. Gallia Christiana names him “sanguine ducum Lotharingiæ ortus Philippus, filius Philippi I dynastæ de Florenges, Simone I duce avo progeniti”[690]. If Bishop Philippe was the son of Philippe, his date of death suggests that he would have been considerably younger than his brother Robert. Provost of Saint-Dié. Treasurer of Metz. Bishop of Metz 1261, resigned 1264. The Gesta Episcoporum Mettensium (Continuatio) records the succession of “Phillippus de Florehenges”[691]. Poull records his ecclesiastical appointments, and documents dated 1237, 26 Sep 1250 (specifying his family relationship with “Clémence de Rosières” wife of “Robert sire de Neuviller et de Hombourg”), before 1260, Mar 1261, and 1261-64 in which he was named, the date of his death (“très âgé”), and his place of burial[692].

2. R[OBERT] de Floranges (-after 1206). “Philippus dominus de Floreengens” confirmed the donation to Justemont made by “pater meus Robertus”, with the consent of “uxoris mee Matildis et filii mei Roberti et fratris mei R.”, by charter dated 1206[693].

In addition to the above, Calmet notes two other apparently close family members whose relationships to the main Floranges line have not been confirmed. In the case of Philippe, he suggests that he “pouvoit être” the father of Philippe who swore homage to the comte de Luxembourg (shown above as Philippe [I]). However, this extra generation seems incompatible with the likely chronology of the early Floranges family shown above and is also inconsistent with the Nov 1253 charter cited below under Philippe [II]. Poull, citing only Calmet, suggests that Philippe was a younger son of Philippe [I] but indicates that he “meurt en bas-âge en 1221”[694], which Calmet does not specify at all. Another possibility is presumably that Calmet’s “1221” represents an error or mistranscription of a later date (“1231”?) and that the entry refers to the death of Philippe [I]. On the other hand, Calmet’s reference to the second person, Robert, also named “seigneur d’Emery”, suggests that the two may have been closely related. The seigneurie of “Ennery” was later granted as an apanage to Colard, son of Robert [II] (see below), while Poull names Demudis “dame d’Ennery” as mother of Colard. Calmet’s references to the following two persons as “de Floranges” suggests that Ennery entered the Floranges family earlier than Demudis’s marriage. If that is correct, the chronology suggests that Philippe and Robert could have been sons of R[obert], younger son of Robert [I]. However, the 1224 charter cited below under Robert Seigneur d’Ennery does not mention “Floranges”, which suggests that he and his predecessor Philippe could have been Demudis’s predecessors in Ennery and did not belong to the Floranges family at all.

1. PHILIPPE [de Floranges] (-1221, bur Justemont). Seigneur d’Ennery [Emery?]. Calmet records “Philippe [de Florenges] mort en 1221, qualifié Seigneur d’Emery, enterré à Justemont” (no source cited)[695].

2. ROBERT [de Floranges] (-1232, bur Justemont). Seigneur d’Ennery [Emery?]. A charter dated 1224 records the settlement of a dispute between “fratres de Vilers” [Kloster Villers-Bettnach] and “dominum Robertum de Henerey” relating to property “a monte Morsperc usque ad Styngrouve”[696]. Müsebeck suggests that this document relates to Robert [II] Seigneur de Floranges, which seems unlikely to be correct considering when Robert [II]’s father died (see above). It seems more likely that it relates to the person cited by Calmet below. “...Philippe de Florange, Robert d’Ennery...” were named as guarantors in a charter dated 30 Nov 1228 which records the release of Mathieu II Duke of Lorraine from a debt[697]. Calmet records “en 1232, Robert de Florenges, Seigneur d’Emery, enterré à Justemont” (no source cited)[698]. This reference is ignored by Poull. The Apr 1236 charter cited below under Robert [II], which names him “sires de...Anerey”, indicates that Robert [de Floranges] must have died childless and was succeeded in Ennery by Robert [II].

ROBERT [II] de Floranges, son of PHILIPPE [I] Seigneur de Floranges & his wife Mathilde --- (-[1250], bur [Justemont]). His parentage is confirmed by the Nov 1253 document quoted below under his son Philippe [II]. “Philippus dominus de Floreengens” confirmed the donation to Justemont made by “pater meus Robertus”, with the consent of “uxoris mee Matildis et filii mei Roberti et fratris mei R.”, by charter dated 1206[699]. Seigneur de Floranges. “...Philippe de Florange, Robert d’Ennery...” were named as guarantors in a charter dated 30 Nov 1228 which records the release of Mathieu II Duke of Lorraine from a debt[700]. “Robers sires de Florehenges et Anerey et ma damme Demuet ma femme” donated “le trefonz des trois parties de la moitiet de tout lou dizme d’Anerey gros et menuit” to Metz Saint-Vincent by charter dated Apr 1236[701]. Poull cites other documents dated 15 Apr 1236, and several dated before 1250 which name Robert, and suggests that he died “vers cette époque” and was probably buried at Justemont[702].

m (before [1220]) as her second husband, DEMUDIS [Dame d’Ennery], widow of THOMAS Seigneur de Boulay, daughter of --- (-after Apr 1236). “Demuedis, appelée aussi ‘Demuet’, dame d’Ennery” confirmed a donation made by “Thomas sire de Boulay...son premier mari” by charter dated to [1220], sealed by “mariti mei domini Roberti de Floranges”[703]. “Robers sires de Florehenges et Anerey et ma damme Demuet ma femme” donated “le trefonz des trois parties de la moitiet de tout lou dizme d’Anerey gros et menuit” to Metz Saint-Vincent by charter dated Apr 1236[704].

Robert [II] & his wife had [three] children:

1. PHILIPPE [II] de Floranges (-[8 Oct 1277/12 Dec 1283]). Seigneur de Floranges. Three generations of his ancestry are confirmed by the following document: “Felippe sires de Florenges...et Lucie ma femme” confirmed the donation of harvest to Justemont, made by “mes sires Robers sires de Florehenges li ainez mon peire” [=Robert [I]] and by “messires Felippes mes ainez” [=Philippe [I]] both previously confirmed by “li sires Robers mes peres” [=Robert [II]], by charter dated Nov 1253[705]: Poull transcribes “li ainez” in this document as “li aiuez” [presumably indicating grandfather][706]. Poull records other documents dated 22 Sep 1253, 29 Mar 1261, Aug 1261, 29 Aug 1261, 8 Jul 1264, 25 Jul 1265, Feb 1266, Feb 1269, 15 Jul 1274, and 8 Oct 1277 in which he was named[707]. He died before 12 Dec 1283 when his wife is named as his widow. m (before Nov 1253) LUCIE, daughter of --- (-after 12 Dec 1283). She was named in her husband’s Nov 1253 charter quoted above. Poull notes her presence as a widow with her son 12 Dec 1283 (see below), adding that she “est sans doute la fille du sire de Rodemack, si l’on tient compte du nom qu’ils donnent à leur fils aîné”[708], although presumably the name Gilles is also found in other local noble families. Philippe [III] & his wife had three children:

a) GILLES de Floranges (-[21 Jun 1306/20 Mar 1312]). Seigneur de Floranges. Henri [VI] Comte de Luxembourg noted that “Gilles fils de feu Philippe seigneur de Florenges”, with the consent of “Liaze sa femme et de Lucie dame de Florenges sa mére”, had exchanged property with “Nicolas fils de feu Stevenin dit Romour de Thionville” by charter dated 12 Dec 1283[709]. “Colars sires d’Annerey, Gilles escuiers sires de Florehenges” assigned revenue “dou terrage de Bettenberch” to “Jofroit de Meysenbourch...” by charter dated 26 Jun 1294, sealed by “Sohiers sires de Bourxeit”[710]. He may have died after 21 Jun 1306 when he is named in the charter cited below as father of Robert [III], but not as deceased (in contrast to others named in the document), but before 20 Mar 1311 (O.S.) when he is not so named. Gilles is named as deceased in the 30 Jan 1312 (O.S.) charter of his son (see below) m LISE, daughter of ---. Henri [VI] Comte de Luxembourg noted that “Gilles fils de feu Philippe seigneur de Florenges”, with the consent of “Liaze sa femme et de Lucie dame de Florenges sa mére”, had exchanged property with “Nicolas fils de feu Stevenin dit Romour de Thionville” by charter dated 12 Dec 1283[711]. Gilles & his wife had [two] children:

i) ROBERT [III] de Floranges (-before 12 Jun 1323). “Sire Nicole d’Ennery et Jean, son frère, chevaliers, Marguerite et Aude, leurs femmes ; Colin, fils dudit Nicole ; Boémond, fils dudit Jean et Robert, fils de sire Gilon de Florehange” consented to “Maiheu Hesson et Colignon Cuneman, citains de Metz” holding “en gage” certain property by charter dated 19 Nov 1302[712].

- see below.

ii) [JEAN de Florange (-after 15 Oct 1324). Poull suggests his parentage, noting a bull of Pope John XXII dated 15 Oct 1324 in which he was named as archdeacon of Strasbourg[713].]

b) ANSEAU [Ancillon] de Floranges (-[2 Apr 1305/May 1309]). Poull cites charters dated 15 Jul 1303, Jul 1304, and 2 Apr 1305 in which he was named[714]. He is named as deceased in the May 1309 charter of his sister Agnes, cited below. m JEANNE de Noviant, daughter of JEAN Seigneur de Noviant & his wife --- . Poull records her parentage and marriage, noting the dispute with her brothers which followed her husband’s sale of Noviant castle to Pierre de Bar Seigneur de Pierrefort 15 Jul 1303[715].

c) AGNES de Floranges (-after May 1309). Agnes declared having transferred “les biens qui lui sont revenus lors du partage de l’héritage de feu Ancillon de Florange écuyer son frère” to “son cousin Robert de Florange, fils de feu Gilles de Florange, chevalier” by charter dated May 1309[716]. m GUY de Passavant, son of GUICHARD Seigneur de Passavant & his first wife Odoarde --- (-[Dec 1290/24 Mar 1294]).

2. COLARD [Nicolas?] de Floranges (-after 8 Mar 1268). Seigneur d’Ennery. Poull records his parentage noting that he was named in charters with his brother Philippe from Jul 1256, received “Ennery” as his share of their parents’ succession, and records documents dated 29 Mar 1263, 23 Aug 1263, 16 Dec 1263, 8 Jul 1264, 25 Jul 1265, and 8 Mar 1268 in which he was named[717].

- SEIGNEURS d’ENNERY[718].

3. [HAIBLE de Florange (-after Oct 1285). Poull suggests her parentage “vers cette époque” and was probably buried at Justemont, noting the presence of “Haible de Boinville de Florehenges née” at “[le] célèbre tournoi de Chauvency” in Oct 1285[719]. m JACQUES de Briey Seigneur de Boinville, son of JEAN de Briey & his wife ---.

It should be noted that Robert [III] and his son Philippe [III] are not named “Seigneur de Floranges” in the documents cited below. It has not been ascertained whether this is a significant omission, especially as Philippe [IV] is so named.

ROBERT [III] de Floranges, son of GILLES Seigneur de Floranges & his wife Lise --- (-before 12 Jun 1323). “Sire Nicole d’Ennery et Jean, son frère, chevaliers, Marguerite et Aude, leurs femmes ; Colin, fils dudit Nicole ; Boémond, fils dudit Jean et Robert, fils de sire Gilon de Florehange” consented to “Maiheu Hesson et Colignon Cuneman, citains de Metz” holding en gage certain property by charter dated 19 Nov 1302[720]. “Robert, fils de Gillon de Florehenges, chevalier” consented to “Jean d’Ennery chevalier, fils de feu Collart, et Colin, fils de feu Nicolle d’Ennery” pledging certain assets to guarantee payment of a debit owed to “Jacomin de Pargney, fils de feu Symonin” by charter dated 21 Jun 1306[721]. “...Robert de Florange écuyer” is named among the guarantors in a charter dated 20 Mar 1311 (O.S.) under which “Isanbairs de Forpach écuyer époux de dame Ude d’Ennery, en sa qualité de tuteur des d’Ennery” confirmed a sale made by “sire Maheu Hesson et sire Jacke de Pairgney chevaliers”[722]. “Roubert écuyer, fils de feu Gilon de Florehenges” confirmed his consent to “Maheu Hesson et Colignon Cuneman citains de Metz” holding property “en gage de Nicolle et de Jehan d’Ennery, frères, l’héritage d’Ennery“ (see charter dated 19 Nov 1302) by charter dated 30 Jan 1312 (O.S.)[723]. Poull cites other charters dated 2 Apr 1305 and 13 Jun 1312 in which Robert was named[724]. He is named as deceased in the 12 Jun 1323 charter cited below under his son Philippe [III].

m HELOISE, daughter of ---. Calmet says that Robert [III] married “Helvis” (no source cited), but then in a second sentence in the same paragraph says, confusingly, that “il avoit épousé Diane de la Marche dont il n’eut aucun enfant”[725]. Poull ignores this supposed earlier marriage.

Robert [III] & his wife had one child:

1. PHILIPPE [III] de Floranges (-[22 Nov 1345/Jul 1346]). Jean King of Bohemia, Comte de Luxembourg confirmed that “Philippe de Florange, fils de feu Robert” had received the homage of “Thiébaut de Heu, citain de Metz” for property he had acquired from “Jehan et de Robert, fils de feu Nicolle d’Ennery“ by charter dated 12 Jun 1323[726]. Poull cites other sources dated from 1334, 1336, 20 Jun 1336, and 21/22 Nov 1345 in which Philippe [III] was named[727]. He presumably died before 4 Jul 1346, the date of his son’s charters cited below. m firstly ([1315/17?]) ERMENGARDE von Hunolstein, daughter of JOHANN Vogt von Hunolstein & his wife Elisabeth von Blankenheim (-[before [1335/36]?]. Poull records her family origin and marriage (no parents recorded, and no source cited)[728]. She is named in the 30 Jul 1337 for her husband’s second marriage cited below, which specifies her family origin but not her precise parentage. No primary source has been identified confirming her precise parentage. Jean Bunot has identified three possibilities in the Hunolstein family: (1) Vogt Johann & his wife Elisabeth von Blankenheim, married before 1302; (2) Johann (died [1321]) & Anna von Kyrburg (died after 1357), married before 1308; and (3) Bohemond Herr von Züsch & Katherina von Siersberg, married before 1300. He highlights that “l’étude des quartiers révèle que seul [(1)] nous fournit une parenté entre Ermengarde von Hunolstein” and Philippe’s second wife. He traces the consanguinity to two daughters of Gérard de Luxembourg Seigneur de Durbuy (see the document LIMBURG, HEINSBERG, VALKENBURG): Irmesinde [Irmgard] who married Gerhard [VI] Herr von Blankenheim (see FRANCONIA LOWER RHINE) whose daughter Elisabeth married Johann von Hunolstein, and Isabelle whose granddaughter Maha married Simon Philippe de Lomprez. Although indicating that this represents consanguinity between 3^o (Ermengarde) and 4^o (Béatrix), he suggests that the dispensation shortened the precise relationship[729]. The date of Ermengarde’s marriage is estimated approximately from her parents’ marriage date and the marriage date of her supposed daughter Jeanne, shown below. m secondly ([1335/36?] Papal dispensation 30 Jul 1337) BEATRIX de Lomprez, daughter of SIMON PHILIPPE de Pistole Seigneur de Lomprez & his wife Maha de Grandpré-Houffalize. Poull records her parentage (noting her as “de Grandpré”, which is incorrect as explained below) and marriage, citing the dispensation of Pope Benedict XII which refers to “les évènements qui se sont déroulés à Verdun et dans la région à partir de 1335” [suggesting that the dispensation was retrospective][730]. Neither this person, nor her supposed father, has been traced in the Grandpré family (see the document CHAMPAGNE NOBILITY-PORCIEN, RETHEL, GRANDPRE). Her correct parentage is confirmed by the following document. Pope Benedict XII sent a dispensation to the bishop of Metz, dated 20 Jul 1337, for the marriage of “Philippi domini de Florhenges militis” and “domicelle Beatricis nate...Symonis domini de Longoprato militis Metensis et Leodiensis diocesium”, noting that “quondam Ermengaldis de Henalpierre prima uxor dicti Philippi” was related 4^o consanguinity to “eidem Beatrici”, and including the wording relating to the disturbances noted above[731]. Tandel notes that Jan King of Bohemia, Comte de Luxembourg granted the castle of Lomprez and other locations to “Simon Philippe de Pistole” 10 May 1324, that Simon was named “sire de Lomprez” in King Jan’s May 1335 marriage contract, and that his widow was named in a charter dated 15 May 1341 (see the document LUXEMBOURG)[732]. Philippe [III] & his first wife had [two] children:

a) PHILIPPE [IV] de Florenges (-[2 Feb 1370/2 Apr 1375]). Seigneur de Floranges. “Philippe sr de Florehenges, chevalier” confirmed a sale of property made by his vassals “Guerairs de Pannehouze chevalier et Anel de Mainsequienne (Menskirch) sa femme” by charter dated 4 Jul 1346[733]. “Philippe sire de Florehenge, chevalier” declared that he would consent to the sale of an inheritance by “Jeannette et de Marguerite filles de feu Jean de Mainsequierke” to “Willemin de Heu, citasin de Metz” by charter dated 4 Jul 1346[734]. “Philippe sr de Florehenges, chevalier et Ailiz de Septfontenne sa femme” declared that they would consent to any sale by “Willame de Heu chevalier, citain de Metz” of “de biens dépendants de la seigneurie d’Ennerey” by charter dated 25 Feb 1355 (O.S.)[735]. Philippe [IV] was named in other charters dated 1358, 8 Apr 1360 (six), 7 Jan 1364 (O.S.), 25 Nov 1363, 20 Jan 1365 (O.S.), and 30 Nov 1367[736]. Philippe was presumably still alive 2 Feb 1370, the date of the charter of his son Jean cited below. He was recorded as deceased in the 2 Apr 1375 charter of his son Robert cited below. m (before 25 Feb 1356) ALIX de Septfontaines, daughter of --- (-after 2 Apr 1375). “Philippe sr de Florehenges, chevalier et Ailiz de Septfontenne sa femme” declared that they would consent to any sale by “Willame de Heu chevalier, citain de Metz” of “de biens dépendants de la seigneurie d’Ennerey” by charter dated 25 Feb 1355 (O.S.)[737]. “Rouperel sr de Florenge, fils de feu Philippe” declared that “Willame de Heu chevalier, échevin et aman Metz” had taken “en fief de lui et de dame Aleis de Septfontaines, sa mère, les biens d’Ennery” by charter dated 2 Apr 1375[738]. Philippe [IV] & his wife had children:

i) ROBERT [IV] de Floranges (-[1 Jul 1409/1420]). Seigneur de Floranges. “Rouperel sr de Florenge, fils de feu Philippe” declared that “Willame de Heu chevalier, échevin et aman Metz” had taken “en fief de lui et de dame Aleis de Septfontaines, sa mère, les biens d’Ennery” by charter dated 2 Apr 1375[739]. “...Ruprecht seigneur de Florchingen...” witnessed the charter dated 10 Nov 1394 which records an agreement between “Jean sr de Brandenbourg et Aleyt sa femme” and “Henri Beyer de Boppart chevalier et Grete sa femme, tous seigneurs et dames de Meisenburch” rgarding the succession of their wives[740]. “Robert seigneur de Florhenges” received the homage of “Colignon de Heu, fils de feu Nicole, chevalier” for his property “au lieu d’Ennery, fief de Florange” by charter dated 16 May 1402[741]. Poull records other charters dated 15 Dec 1385, 23 May 1405, and 1 Jul 1409 in which he was named[742]. m DIANE de la Marck, daughter of ---. Poull records her family origin and marriage (no source cited)[743]. She has not been identified in the Mark family (see the document FRANCONIA LOWER RHINE).

ii) JEAN de Floranges (-after 2 Feb 1370). A charter dated 2 Feb 1370 (O.S.?) records that “Der Junker Johann von Flörchingen” declared having come of age and receiving revenue “auf ihren Liegenschaften in Dynswych bei Flörchingen” from his parents by charter dated 2 Feb 1370[744]. Poull suggests his parentage but, presumably, misunderstanding Müsebeck’s summary of this charter, indicates that “il disparaît au cours de sa jeunesse, avant 1370”[745].

iii) LISE de Floranges (-after 1420). Poull records her parentage, marriage, and her husband’s parentage, noting a charter dated 1420 in which she agreed with her nephews the succession of her brother, and names the couple’s two daughters[746]. m COLARD de Lenoncourt, son of THIERRY Seigneur de Lenoncourt & his [first wife Agnes du Chastelet/second wife Jeanne de Maxéville-Parroye].

iv) ERMENGARDE de Floranges . Poull records her parentage and marriage, noting her husband’s parentage and date of death, and names the couple’s five children[747]. m FERRY Seigneur de Chambley, son of FERRY Seigneur de Chambley & his wife Jeanne d’Avocourt (-[1415]).

b) [JEANNE de Florenges . Calmet records “Jeanne” as daughter of Philippe [III], noting that she renounced her rights in her parents’ succession 15 Oct 1334, having married “Godefroi de Brundesen” with whom she was recorded in 1329[748]. Anselme records the same information but dates her renunciation 15 Oct 1344 and names “Geoffroy de Randesch” as her husband[749]. The accuracy of this information is unknown. m (1329 or before) GEOFFROY de Randesch [de Brundesen], son of ---.]

F. COMTES de TOUL (LORRAINE)

MATHIEU de Lorraine, son of MATHIEU I Duke of Lorraine & his wife Berta [Judith] von Staufen (-before end 1207). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines in 1193 names "dux Symon et Fredericus de Bites et comes Matheus Tullensis et Theodericus" as the four sons of "ducis Lotharingie Mathie qui dux Mosellanorum dicebatur"[750]. “Matthæus Lotharingorum dux et marchio” donated “ductu aquæ molendini...Farros-Moulin” to Saint-Dié, in the presence of “uxore mea Bertha et filiis meis Matthæo et Judith comitissa Burgundiæ”, by charter dated 1170[751]. “Matthæus Lotharingiæ dux et marchio” confirmed rights to Clairlieu abbey, with the consent of “uxoris meæ et filiorum meorum Simonis...Friderici et Matthæi”, by charter dated 1172[752]. “Berta ducissa et dux Simon filius meus” confirmed donations which “maritum meum…ducem Mathæum” wished to make at the end of his life by charter dated 1176, subscribed by “Theodoricus electus Metensis, dominus episcopus Petrus, Simon dux, Fridericus frater eius, Mathæus item frater eius, Robertus comes frater Mathæi ducis…”[753]. “Simon...dux Lotharingiæ et marchio” donated property to Bouxières-aux-Dames, at the request of “matris meæ dominæ Berthæ filiæ Friderici imperatoris et fratrum meorum Theoderici electi Metensi episcopi, Frederici et Mathæi ac sororis meæ Alidis ducissæ Burgundiæ”, for the soul of “patris mei domini Mathæi”, by charter dated 1176[754]. “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][755].

Mathieu & his wife had three children:

1. FERRY de Toul (-[16 May 1248/1250], bur Clairefontaine). Poull notes that Ferry is named in his father’s charters dated 1194, 1199, 1200 and 1206[758]. Comte de Toul. "Fredericus Tullensis comes" donated property to Clairefontaine abbey, with the support of "Renardus frater meus, Agnes comitissa uxor mea, Odo, Matheus et Philyppus filii mei", by charter dated 1227, sealed by “...sigillo Renardi fratris mei et sigillo Symonis domini de Passauant”[759]. “Fridericus comes Tullensis...frater meus dominus Regnardus” granted privileges to the town of Mirecourt by charter dated 1234[760].

"Fredericus Tullensis comes" donated property to Clairefontaine abbey, with the support of "Renardus frater meus, Agnes comitissa uxor mea, Odo, Matheus et Philyppus filii mei", by charter dated 1227[762]. With three children named in this document, Agnes could not have been married much later than 1222. If that is correct, the chronology suggests that she was born from her father’s first marriage. The primary source which confirms her parentage has not been identified. "Ferris cuens de Toul et...Ovede ses fils" mortgaged "nostre contei de Toul" to “nostre...cousin et nostre seignore Maheu dus de Loregne et Merchis”, with the consent of “nos femes...Agnele et Ezabel”, by charter dated 16 May 1248[763]. “Agnes comitissa Tullensis et Odo filius eius” ratified a donation to Chaumousey, with the consent of “filiorum nostrorum Odonis, Friderici et Orrici et uxoris Odonis filii nostri” by charter dated 1250[764].

The dispensation for the marriage between “Johanne de Castelleto” and “nobili muliere Gileta de Passavant” and refers to the 3^o and 4^o consanguinity between the former and “quondam Oddo comes de Tullo, prior Giletæ maritus” is dated 13 Jan 1292[774].

- SEIGNEURS de FONTENOY et de CHARMES[777].

ii) ISABELLE de Toul (-after 8 Mar 1285). Poull records her parentage and marriage, noting her husband’s charter dated Sep 1284, naming his parents and with his wife, which records his sale of property at Mirecourt to the duke of Lorraine, the couple’s transfer of their part of Charnes and Fontenoy by charter dated 8 Mar 1285, and her husband’s mention 3 May 1299[778]. Her absence from her father’s Apr 1266 charter suggests that she may already have been married at the time. m SIMON de Rosières, son of BRUN de Rosières & his wife Marguerite --- (-after 3 May 1299).

iii) GUY de Toul . "Odes diz quens de Toul et sires de Fontenoy lo Chastel" donated property to Clairefontaine, with the consent of "dame Agnel ma mere dicte contesse de Toul et de dame Gile ma fome et nos enfanz...Freri, Guiet, Margarite et l’autre Margarite...", by charter dated Apr 1266[779].

Chapter 4. NOBILITY in LORRAINE

A. SEIGNEURS d’AMANCE

Amance is located about 5 kilometres north-west of Nancy, in the present-day French département of Meurthe-et-Moselle, arrondissement Nancy, canton Malzéville.

1. RENAUD d’Amance . Calmet says that “on assure” that Mathieu II Duke of Lorraine had two children “Thiébaut Sire de Preny et Renaut Comte d’Amance”, who are not noted by “les généalogistes ordinaires de Lorraine”[835]. He cites no sources on which he bases this information.

2. GEOFFROY d’Amance (-after 1249). Calmet records “Geoffroi d’Amance” who is named in sources dated 1244, 1245 and 1249[836].

3. WICHART d’Amance (-after 1306). “Jacques de Bayon Sire de la Fauche” acquired property “à Roseliure” from “Richard d’Amance” by charter dated 1279, noting that Richard was named in “1287 et suivantes”[837]. “Vichard (ou peut-être Richard) d’Amance” attested that “les filles du souverain sont habiles à succéder aux états de Lorraine” by charter dated 1306[838].

4. WICHART d’Amance (-after 1351). Calmet records that “Richard d’Amance chevalier” was named in charters dated 1351, 1386 and 1392[839]. The span between these years suggests that two different persons were involved.

5. WICHART d’Amance (-after 1392). Calmet records that “Richard d’Amance chevalier” was named in charters dated 1351, 1386 and 1392[840]. The span between these years suggests that two different persons were involved.

1. WICHART d’Amance (-[1372]). Quintard notes that Wichart d’Amance died “vers 1372”, without citing any sources which confirm the information[841]. m JEANNETTE de Bayon, daughter of JEAN Seigneur de Bayon & his wife Jacquette de Grandson. Quintard records her parentage and marriage, without citing any sources which confirm the information, as well as noting their descendants[842]. Wichart & his wife had two children:

a) JACQUES d’Amance (-after 1399). Quintard records his parentage without citing any source which confirms the information, although the inheritance of Bayon and Amance by his daughters suggests that it is correct[843]. Calmet records that “Jacob ou Jacques d’Amance chevalier, maréchal de Lorraine” was named in charters dated 1380, 1392, 1395 and 1399[844]. m JACQUETTE de Pulligny, daughter of ---. Calmet records her family origin and marriage, without citing the source which confirms this information[845]. Abbé Martin does not name her in his review of the Pulligny family[846]. Jacques & his wife had two children:

i) JACQUELINE [Jacquette] d’Amance (-after 1426). Calmet records her parentage and marriage, and names the couple’s children “Jacques et Jean de Fénétranges”, citing “un partage fait le 19 septembre 1422” under which “les seigneurs de Fénétranges” received “le château d’Amance...le château et seigneurie de Vaubexi, les villes et ban de Jouxei, de Varmauzey, avec ce que Jacques d’amance possedoit en la seigneurie et château de Bayon”[847]. A document records that in 1426 “Thiederich et Henri de Bayer de Boppart et Arnould de Sierck à cause de Lize sa femme sœur dudit Boppart” sued “Henri d’Amance, Henri de Fénétrange à cause de Jacquette sa femme et Jean de Haraucourt comme tuteur de Gérard et Jacob ses fils” claiming “par le décès de Jean de Voivre [Quintard says =Varres]...sa part et château de Bayon et de Vaubexy et ce à la persuasion de Conrad de Boppart évêque de Metz, et en vue du mariage promis entre Jacob d’Haraucourt et Valburge fille de Henri de Boppart”[848]. m (1400) HEINRICH Herr von Vinstingen, son of --- (-after 1426).

ii) CATHERINE d’Amance (-before 1426). Calmet records her parentage and marriage, names her husband as father of “Jean d’Haraucourt” and the couple’s children “Gerard et Jacques de Haraucourt”, citing “un partage fait le 19 septembre 1422” under which “les seigneurs d’Haraucourt” received “la moitié de la seigneurie de Bayon, la seigneurie et forteresse de Germini...et les villages d’Olchey, Vanne, Mâron, la seigneurie de la Tour en Voivre, les portions de la seigneurie de Ville-sur-Illon...” and others[849]. A document records that in 1426 “Thiederich et Henri de Bayer de Boppart et Arnould de Sierck à cause de Lize sa femme sœur dudit Boppart” sued “Henri d’Amance, Henri de Fénétrange à cause de Jacquette sa femme et Jean de Haraucourt comme tuteur de Gérard et Jacob ses fils” claiming “par le décès de Jean de Voivre [Quintard says =Varres]...sa part et château de Bayon et de Vaubexy et ce à la persuasion de Conrad de Boppart évêque de Metz, et en vue du mariage promis entre Jacob d’Haraucourt et Valburge fille de Henri de Boppart”[850]. Quintard shows this couple’s descendants in a table which cites no sources[851]. m as his second wife, JEAN de Haraucourt, son of --- (-after 1426).

b) HENRI d’Amance (-[1427], bur Bayon). Quintard records his parentage without citing any source which confirms the information[852]. Calmet records that “Henri d’Amance écuyer, maître d’hôtel du duc de Lorraine” was named in charters dated 1392, 1395 and 1398[853]. An epitaph at “l’église de Bayon en la chapelle des seigneurs de Fénétrange” records the burial of “Henri d’Amance chevalier seigneur de Bayon et baron dudit lieu, ensemble madame Jeanne de Bulgneville, dame de Beney [corrected to “Bexy”, =Ebexy, Vosges, by Quintard] et de Bayon, icelui fondateur de cette chapelle” who died in 1407[854]. Quintard records that Henri founded “une chapelle dite d’Amance” in “la chapelle castrale de Bayon, devenue église paroissiale” in 1412[855]. Quintard records in his genealogical table that Henri died “sans postérité” in 1427[856]. His date of death in the epitaph, recorded by Calmet, was presumably mistranscribed. m JEANNE de Bauffremont Dame de Ebexy, daughter of HUMBERT de Bauffremont Seigneur de Bulgnéville & his wife --- (-1429, bur Bayon). Europäische Stammtafeln records her parentage and marriage, noting her death in 1429[857]. The primary source which confirms that this is correct has not been identified. An epitaph at “l’église de Bayon en la chapelle des seigneurs de Fénétrange” records the burial of “Henri d’Amance chevalier seigneur de Bayon et baron dudit lieu, ensemble madame Jeanne de Bulgneville, dame de Beney [corrected to “Bexy”, =Ebexy, Vosges, by Quintard] et de Bayon, icelui fondateur de cette chapelle” who died in 1407 [date incorrect][858].

B. SEIGNEURS d’ASPREMONT

“Aspremont” refers to the place now called Apremont-la-Forêt, which lies about 2 kilometres south-east of Saint-Mihiel and five kilometres north of Commercy in the present-day French département of Meuse, arrondissement Commercy.

1. GOBERT [I] d’Aspremont (-after 1060). "Richuini comitis Segintensis, Haimonis comitis…Everardi de Sorceio…Gosberti de Asperomonte…Wiselonis fratris Theoderici Virdunensis episcopi…" witnessed the charter dated 17 Oct 1052 under which Udon Bishop of Toul regulated the avouerie of the abbey of Bleurville[859]. "Gobertus" founded the priory of Notre-Dame at Aspremont by charter dated 1060[860].

2. GOBERT [II] d’Aspremont . m HELVIDE, daughter of ---. The 1103 charter confirming the foundation of Aspremont Notre-Dame records the donation made by "domina Helwidis uxor prædicti domini Goberti, laude viri sui"[861]. Gobert [II] & his wife had three children:

a) GOBERT d’Aspremont (-young). A charter dated 1103, confirming the foundation of Aspremont Notre-Dame, records that "tempore Henrici imperatoris IV Gobertus quidam nobilis dominus Asperi-montis, pater dominæ Hadevidis" married his daughter to "Theodorico filio Alberti Briacensis" after “filium...suum unicum...Gobertum” died in childhood[862].

b) HADWIGE d’Aspremont . A charter dated 1103, confirming the foundation of Aspremont Notre-Dame, records that "tempore Henrici imperatoris IV Gobertus quidam nobilis dominus Asperi-montis, pater dominæ Hadevidis" married his daughter to "Theodorico filio Alberti Briacensis" after “filium...suum unicum...Gobertum” died in childhood[863]. m THIERRY de Briey, son of ALBERT de Briey & his wife --- (-[1128]). Seigneur d'Apremont et de Rouvres.

c) ZEOLEUDIS d’Aspremont . The 1103 charter confirming the foundation of Aspremont Notre-Dame records the consent given by "propriam filiam Zeoleudem...cum marito et progenmie quæ de wa exitura erat" to the donation of "ecclesia de Aucconcourt", where she was married, made by her father “domino Goberto”[864]. The name of Zeoleudis’s husband is not known. m (Aucconcourt) ---.

THIERRY de Briey, son of ALBERT de Briey & his wife --- (-[1128]). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 1103, confirming the foundation of Aspremont Notre-Dame, which records that "tempore Henrici imperatoris IV Gobertus quidam nobilis dominus Asperi-montis, pater dominæ Hadevidis" married his daughter to "Theodorico filio Alberti Briacensis"[865]. Seigneur d'Aspremont et de Rouvres. “Albertus advocatus Briacensis” donated his rights “in alodio de Lubei” to Saint-Pierremont, with the consent of “filiis meis Theodorico de Aspero-Monte et Acelino et Odouino”, by charter dated to [1110][866].

m HADWIGE d'Aspremont, daughter of GOBERT [II] d’Aspremont & his wife Helvide ---. A charter dated 1103, confirming the foundation of Aspremont Notre-Dame, records that "tempore Henrici imperatoris IV Gobertus quidam nobilis dominus Asperi-montis, pater dominæ Hadevidis" married his daughter to "Theodorico filio Alberti Briacensis" after “filium...suum unicum...Gobertum” died in childhood[867].

Thierry & his wife had children:

1. GOBERT [III] d’Aspremont (-before 1141). A charter dated 1103, confirming the foundation of Aspremont Notre-Dame, names "Gobertum" as only son of "Theodorico filio Alberti Briacensis" and his wife "Hadevidis"[868]. Seigneur d’Aspremont. m HAWISE de Joinville, daughter of GEOFFROY [II] Seigneur de Joinville & his wife Hodierne de Courtenay (-after 9 Mar 1142). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Hadewidem de Asperomonte" as the daughter of "Iovevillam Gaufridus secundus, tertius…eiusdem loci domnus"[869]. The Papal legate approved the donations to Gorze made by the family of “Aspero Monte”, including the donation of “alodium de Trundes” made by “domina Helwidis uxor...domini Goberti”, by charter dated to [1138/53][870]. She was co-founder of the abbey of Riéval in 1141[871].

iv) MATHILDE d’Aspremont (before 1302-Beaumont Convent, Valenciennes 1373). Heiress of Quiévrain.

vi) MARIE d’Aspremont (-before 21 Dec 1346).

The castle of Bauffremont was located about 9 kilometres south-west of Nancy, in the duchy of Upper Lotharingia, later the duchy of Lorraine. The reliability of the reconstruction of the 12th/13th century generations of the Bauffremont family is doubtful because of indications that documents around which it is based were falsified. Léopold Delisle, in 1890, cast serious doubt on the authenticity of a charter dated 16 Mar 1218 under which Friedrich II King of Germany supposedly confirmed the castle of Bauffremont to Liébaud [III] de Bauffremont. He raised difficulties with the language of the document whose wording, he noted, was in part copied from another charter of the same date. He also published a letter dated 2 Jun 1758 from L’abbé Guillaume (author of the Histoire des sires de Salins published in 1757/58) to Louis Prince de Bauffremont attaching the charter, and suggested that Guillaume falsified the document to flatter the prince who was his patron. Delisle went further. He indicated the dubious language of the charter dated Mar 1271 (which names Liébaud [IV] de Bauffremont) and the manuscript dated to [1180] which records the family of Hugues [II], both of which are quoted below in this section, and suggested that these documents together with the 16 Mar 1218 charter formed part of a series of falsifications[1028]. Delisle’s arguments are convincing, and all references to these three documents are placed in square brackets below to highlight that the extracts quoted should be treated with caution. It is not known whether other documents quoted below may also have formed part of the same series of falsifications. It should be noted that the reconstruction of the early generations of the Bauffremont family included in Europäische Stammtafeln includes many inaccuracies, as confirmed by the primary sources which are quoted below[1029].

1. [EUDES [Odon] de Bauffremont (-after 25 Dec 1046). Eudes/Odon is named only in the following charter: Emperor Friedrich I confirmed the privileges of “castrum de Bafrimont” to “Libaldus de Baffrimont et uxor eius Petronilla filia comitis de Dasburg et Hugo filius eius”, just as "predecessor noster Henricus secundus imperator" granted to “fidelis sui Odonis”, by charter dated 14 Nov 1157, transcribed into a charter dated 19 Jun 1360 at the request of “domini Huonis de Beffromont militis”[1030]. As discussed under Liébaud [II], this charter is dubious. The existence of Eudes/Odon de Bauffremont is far from certain.]

Two brothers:

1. LIEBAUD [I] de Bauffremont (-after 1115). [Seigneur de Bauffremont]. Courcelles states that “Liébaud Ier sire de Bauffremont chevalier” consented to the donation made by “Milon de Bauffremont chevalier son frère” to the abbey of Saint-Evre (near Château-Salins), confirmed by Renaud Bishop of Toul by charter dated 1110 (no citation reference)[1031]. A charter dated 1115 records the settlement by Riquin Bishop of Toul of a dispute between the abbey of Saint-Michel and “Leobaldi parrechiani nostri”, who had unlawfully taken land “Berfredi montis confinio adjacentem ecclesie Sancti Michaelis” from the abbey which had been donated by “matrona...Elysabeth”, witnessed by “Guido socer Leobaldi cum fratre suo Galtero filioque suo...”[1032]. Assuming that this charter refers to Liébaud [I] de Bauffremont (which appears probable considering the location of the property which was disputed), he was not “seigneur” de Bauffremont at that time. m (before 1115) ---, daughter of GUY & his wife ---. Her father’s name is confirmed by the charter dated 1115 which records the settlement of a dispute involving “Leobaldi parrechiani nostri” who had unlawfully taken land “Berfredi montis confinio adjacentem ecclesie Sancti Michaelis”, witnessed by “Guido socer Leobaldi cum fratre suo Galtero filioque suo...”[1033].

2. MILON de Bauffremont (-after 1110). Courcelles states that “Liébaud Ier sire de Bauffremont chevalier” consented to the donation made by “Milon de Bauffremont chevalier son frère” to the abbey of Saint-Evre (near Château-Salins), confirmed by Renaud Bishop of Toul by charter dated 1110 (no citation reference)[1034].

1. HUGUES [I] de Bauffremont . [Seigneur de Bauffremont]. Courcelles names “Hugues I” as successor of “Liébaud I [de Bauffremont]” and predecessor of Liébaud [II] but cites no primary source which confirms his existence[1035]. Europäische Stammtafeln refers to two early individuals named Hugues: “comes Hugo de Baufrimont (Bafroyment) 18 Oct 1092” and “Hugues I de Bauffremont knight 1103”, without giving any indication of the sources to which these dates refer[1036]. Concerning the former, no other indication has been found that the early generations of the Bauffremont family were awarded or otherwise used the comital title, so it seems unlikely to be accurate. Concerning the latter, Europäische Stammtafeln says that he was the father of “Liébaud I, Milon 1110, Gobert 1115, Henry 1115, Imarus 1115, Beliarde wife of Bancelin (Vancelin) de Châtenois, Flandine, Rothilde”. The person “Liébaud I” incorporates the information shown in the present document under Liébaud [I] and Liébaud [II], the chronology suggesting that there were two different individuals named Liébaud. Milon is named as brother of Liébaud [I] (see above), and Biliharde/Flandine (the same person), Rohilde, and maybe Mathilde, have been identified as siblings of Liébaud [II] (see below). No reference has been found to the source dated 1115 which names Gobert, Henri and Imar. No reference has been found to any source which confirms that Hugues [I] was the father of any of these individuals.

[Four siblings:]

1. LIEBAUD [II] de Bauffremont (-[14 Nov 1157/1168]). The chronology of the Bauffremont family suggests that Liébaud [II] was probably a different person from Liébaud [I], although this is not beyond all doubt. He is named in the 1181 charter, quoted below under his sons, no doubts about which have been noted. Liébaud [II] probably did therefore exist, despite the problems associated with 1157 document in which he is named as discussed below. [Seigneur de Bauffremont]. [Emperor Friedrich I confirmed the privileges of “castrum de Bafrimont” to “Libaldus de Baffrimont et uxor eius Petronilla filia comitis de Dasburg et Hugo filius eius”, just as "predecessor noster Henricus secundus imperator" granted to “fidelis sui Odonis”, by charter dated 14 Nov 1157, reproduced by vidimus dated 19 Jun 1360 at the request of “domini Huonis de Beffromont militis”[1037]. There are many aspects of this charter which are unsatisfactory. The drafting of the document is unusually wordy, and the reference in the text to the grantee’s wife and son is unusual (especially specifying his wife’s parentage) within the context of the rest of the charter. In addition, it is clear from the charter dated 7 Jul 1181 quoted below that Hugues [II] de Bauffremont was the third son of Liébaud [II]: if any child was specified in 1157, it should have been Liébaud’s oldest son Pierre (who did survive his father as is clear from the same 1181 charter). The reference to “Heinricus secundus imperator” raises more questions: Heinrich II King of Germany (died 1024) was crowned emperor in 1014, as Emperor Heinrich I. Heinrich III King of Germany was crowned emperor in 1046 as Emperor Heinrich II. The rest of the document does not help in identifying which emperor was intended. The editor of the Documents de Vosges collection suggests that the former is indicated, but only the latter would have been named in charters as “Heinricus secundus imperator”. In light of the doubts about the authenticity of other early Bauffremont documents, discussed in the introduction to the present chapter, it would not be surprising if the 1157 charter also formed part of the fabricated collection. If the document is a forgery, the fact that it is included in a vidimus about 200 years later may have been seen by the forger as another way of camouflaging his tracks. Unless other information comes to light, it is suggested that this document should be considered with caution.] m [PETRONILLA von Dachsburg, daughter of HUGO [XI] Graf von Dagsburg & his wife Gertrud [van Looz]. Emperor Friedrich I confirmed the privileges of “castrum de Bafrimont” to “Libaldus de Baffrimont et uxor eius Petronilla filia comitis de Dasburg et Hugo filius eius”, just as "predecessor noster Henricus secundus imperator" granted to “fidelis sui Odonis”, by charter dated 14 Nov 1157, reproduced by vidimus dated 19 Jun 1360 at the request of “domini Huonis de Beffromont militis”[1038]. As discussed above, this charter is dubious. No examples of later use of the name Petronilla have been noted in the Bauffremont reconstruction. It appears unlikely that this person existed.] Liébaud [II] & his wife had [nine] children:

a) PIERRE de Bauffremont . Pierre Bishop of Toul confirmed the settlement of a dispute between “Hugonem de Beffremont” and Chaumouzey abbey, relating to “partibus alodii de Frowecurt” two thirds of which were donated by “Lebaldo patri ipsius Hugonis et Bilihardi que Flandina dicta fuit et Rohildi sororibus ipsius Lebaldi”, while the remaining third donated by “heredes ipsius Lebaldi...Petrum [...mortuo...sine herede corporis sui]...Wihardum et ipsum Hugonem...sorores quoque ipsorum, matrem...Pendeuns et matrem Hugonis de Besenches”, by charter dated 7 Jul 1181[1039].

b) WIHARD de Bauffremont . Pierre Bishop of Toul confirmed the settlement of a dispute between “Hugonem de Beffremont” and Chaumouzey abbey, relating to “partibus alodii de Frowecurt” two thirds of which were donated by “Lebaldo patri ipsius Hugonis et Bilihardi que Flandina dicta fuit et Rohildi sororibus ipsius Lebaldi”, while the remaining third donated by “heredes ipsius Lebaldi...Petrum [...mortuo...sine herede corporis sui]...Wihardum et ipsum Hugonem...sorores quoque ipsorum, matrem...Pendeuns et matrem Hugonis de Besenches”, by charter dated 7 Jul 1181[1040].

c) HUGUES [II] de Bauffremont (-[Dec 1190/Jun 1202]). Pierre Bishop of Toul confirmed the settlement of a dispute between “Hugonem de Beffremont” and Chaumouzey abbey, relating to “partibus alodii de Frowecurt” two thirds of which were donated by “Lebaldo patri ipsius Hugonis et Bilihardi que Flandina dicta fuit et Rohildi sororibus ipsius Lebaldi”, while the remaining third donated by “heredes ipsius Lebaldi...Petrum [...mortuo...sine herede corporis sui]...Wihardum et ipsum Hugonem...sorores quoque ipsorum, matrem...Pendeuns et matrem Hugonis de Besenches”, by charter dated 7 Jul 1181[1041].

i) HUGUES de Besenches . Pierre Bishop of Toul confirmed the settlement of a dispute between “Hugonem de Beffremont” and Chaumouzey abbey, relating to “partibus alodii de Frowecurt” two thirds of which were donated by “Lebaldo patri ipsius Hugonis et Bilihardi que Flandina dicta fuit et Rohildi sororibus ipsius Lebaldi”, while the remaining third donated by “heredes ipsius Lebaldi...Petrum [...mortuo...sine herede corporis sui]...Wihardum et ipsum Hugonem...sorores quoque ipsorum, matrem...Pendeuns et matrem Hugonis de Besenches”, by charter dated 7 Jul 1181[1044].

g) [ISABELLE de Bauffremont . [A manuscript dated to [1180] names “Isabeau” as the oldest daughter of “Liebaz li second”, married “à signour de Liney...Odes”, by whom she had “trois fils et deux filles”, adding that she inherited “de par Mahat sa tante Ovieres”[1045].] m EUDES Seigneur de [Liney], son of ---. “Liney” has not been identified. It seems unlikely that it was Ligny-en-Barrois. Although in the right geographical area, Ligny was held at that time by the Blois family and transmitted to Agnes, daughter of Thibaut IV Comte de Blois, who married Renaud Comte de Bar. The precise circumstances by which Ligny was acquired by the comtes de Blois has not been ascertained.]

h) [AGNES de Bauffremont . [A manuscript dated to [1180] names “Agnel” as the second daughter of “Liebaz li second”, married “à l’aisné fils d’ou saignour de Westine Jehan et de par li fut sires d’Annuis”, by whom she was childless, and married secondly “signor Guy le vielz que tenoit Coblens et fut piu di tems avecques li”[1046].] m firstly JEAN de [Westine], son of --- Seigneur de [Westine] & his wife ---. m secondly GUY de [Coblens], son of ---.]

i) [BEATRIX de Bauffremont . [A manuscript dated to [1180] names “Beatrix” as the third daughter of “Liebaz li second”, married “a Robert de Lesignan qui etoit sires d’Alchin en Flandres”[1047].] m ROBERT de [Lesignan] Seigneur d’Alchin, son of ---.]

If “sa tante” can be interpreted as paternal aunt, Mathilde would have been his sister. “Ovieres” has not been identified.]

3. BILIHARDE [Flandine] . Pierre Bishop of Toul confirmed the settlement of a dispute between “Hugonem de Beffremont” and Chaumouzey abbey, relating to “partibus alodii de Frowecurt” two thirds of which were donated by “Lebaldo patri ipsius Hugonis et Bilihardi que Flandina dicta fuit et Rohildi sororibus ipsius Lebaldi”, by charter dated 7 Jul 1181[1049]. Europäische Stammtafeln names “Beliarde wife of Bancelin (Vancelin) de Châtenois” (specifying Flandine as a different person, which according to the 1181 source is incorrect)[1050]. No reference has been to the source which confirms her marriage.

4. ROHILDE . Pierre Bishop of Toul confirmed the settlement of a dispute between “Hugonem de Beffremont” and Chaumouzey abbey, relating to “partibus alodii de Frowecurt” two thirds of which were donated by “Lebaldo patri ipsius Hugonis et Bilihardi que Flandina dicta fuit et Rohildi sororibus ipsius Lebaldi”, by charter dated 7 Jul 1181[1051].

HUGUES [II] de Bauffremont, son of LIEBAUD [II] [Seigneur] de Bauffremont & his wife [Petronilla von Dachsburg] (-[Dec 1190/Jun 1202]). [A manuscript dated to [1180] records that “Hugues fils l’ainé [du] Liebaz [li second]” inherited “de par son pere li chatel de Bafromont”[1052]. A manuscript dated to [1180] records that “Hugues l’aisné fils dudit Liebaz [li second]” was attacked by “Jehan de Loire”, defended by “avecques li nuef compagnons...et y estoit un seignor...de Ghuine” who killed “lidit Jehan de Loire et fut trové sur lidit Jehan lettres du sire d’Arkel...” who hated Hugues because he [Hugues] had refused to marry “sa fille dont il avoit un sien fils bastard...Robert”[1053].] [Emperor Friedrich I confirmed the right of “fidelis nostri Hugonis domini de Bafrimont” to mint coin in “castro suo de Bafrimont” by charter dated 14 Sep 1168, reproduced by vidimus dated 19 Jun 1360 at the request of “domini Huonis de Beffromont militis”[1054]. The date of vidimus is the same as in the charter dated 14 Nov 1157, whose authenticity is open to doubt as discussed above. The text of the document is relatively short and unsurprising, although the reference to Hugues [I] as “domini” is surprising considering the later charter dated 7 Jul 1181 quoted below in which he is not accorded the title. The difficulty is the suspicion raised in relation to so many of the early Bauffremont charters.] Pierre Bishop of Toul confirmed donations made to Mureau/La Crète, including “grangiam de Aydoyz in sicco pago Ornensi, de trium villarum Tempro...et Brichenville et Allenville territoriis fundatam” donated by “...Symon dominus de Borlenmont et sororius eius Hugo de Berfroymont et uxor eius Hayvydis et filii eius Simon, Lebaldus”, by charter dated 1172[1055].

As in the cases of the charters dated 14 Nov 1157 and 14 Sep 1168, the common vidimus date raises suspicion regarding this document.] Henri Comte de Bar requested reimbursement of sums lent by Sicilians to “domino Hugoni de Boffremonte, domino Letbaldo de Boffremonte” and others by charter dated Dec 1190[1058].

[m ADE d’Enghien, daughter of [HUGUES d’Enghien & his wife Beatrix ---]. [A manuscript dated to [1180] records the betrothal and marriage of “Hugues l’aisné fils dudit Liebaz [li second]” and “une fille dou sire d’Enghien...Ade”[1059].] Assuming that this report is accurate, from a chronological point of view Ade could have been the daughter of Hugues Seigneur d’Enghien.]

m (after 1157) HAWIDE de Bourlémont, daughter of SIMON [II] Seigneur de Bourlémont & his wife Hersende --- (-after 1172). Henri Bishop of Toul confirmed donations to Mireval, including the donation of “alodium de Souz et Ramercort” made by “Josberti militis de Bourleimont et Assildis uxoris eius” with the consent of “fratrum eiusdem Assildis, Herberti et Radulfi et domini Petri de Brisseio, Simonis fratris eius, sororisque eorum Havuidis, et aliorum hæredum prædicti Josberti et Assildis”, by undated charter[1060].

Hugues [II] & his wife had [seven] children [Europäische Stammtafeln names two other children but clearly there is duplication with two of the sisters of Liébaud [II] named above[1062]]:

1. SIMON de Bauffremont (-after 1172). Pierre Bishop of Toul confirmed donations made to Mureau/La Crète, including “grangiam de Aydoyz in sicco pago Ornensi, de trium villarum Tempro...et Brichenville et Allenville territoriis fundatam” donated by “...Symon dominus de Borlenmont et sororius eius Hugo de Berfroymont et uxor eius Hayvydis et filii eius Simon, Lebaldus”, by charter dated 1172[1063].

2. LIEBAUD [III] de Bauffremont (-after 1226).

Seigneur de Bauffremont.

- see below.

3. [HUGUES . Europäische Stammtafeln names “Hugues 1185/92” as another son of Hugues [II], without giving any indication of the source to which this date refers[1065].]

4. [MILON . Europäische Stammtafeln names “Milon 1198, Ritter, Vogt von Minorville, 1193-1197/1210” as another son of Hugues [II], without giving any indication of the source to which this information refers[1066].]

5. [HERSENDE . Europäische Stammtafeln names “Hersende 1190/1233 m (before 1190) Philippe d’Arches sn de Tilleux 1190/1200, 1204†” as a daughter of Hugues [II], without giving any indication of the source to which this information refers[1067].]

6. [AGNES . Europäische Stammtafeln names “Agnès, Hedwide” as two daughters of Hugues [II], one of whom married “Thierry de Louvency”, without giving any indication of the sources to which this information refers[1068].]

7. [HEDWIDE . Europäische Stammtafeln names “Agnès, Hedwide” as two daughters of Hugues [II], one of whom married “Thierry de Louvency”, without giving any indication of the sources to which this information refers[1069].]

LIEBAUD [III] de Bauffremont, son of HUGUES [II] Seigneur de Bauffremont & his wife Hawide de Bourlémont (-after 1226). Seigneur de Bauffremont. Henri Comte de Bar requested reimbursement of sums lent by Sicilians to “domino Hugoni de Boffremonte, domino Letbaldo de Boffremonte” and others by charter dated Dec 1190[1070]. [“Libaldus dominus de Bofremont filius quondam domini Hugonis” acknowledged having received “villam...et...castrum...Chales” in fee from Thibaut Comte de Bar, with the consent of “Petrus filius meus et Isabella de Rinel uxor mea”, by charter dated Jun 1202, reproduced by vidimus dated 19 Jun 1360 at the request of “domini Huonis de Beffromont militis”[1071]. As in the cases of the charters dated 14 Nov 1157, 14 Sep 1168 and 30 Dec 1182, the common vidimus date raises suspicion regarding this document.] “...Lebaudus de Beffremonte...” witnessed the charter dated 1203 under which Thibaut Comte de Bar granted privileges to “S. Theobaldum sub Bormonte”[1072]. [Friedrich II King of Germany and Sicily granted protection to “consanguinei nostri Libaldi de Baffroimont” for “castrum suum de Baffroimont”, as granted “olim tempore Hugonis et Libaldi de Baffroimont”, by charter dated 16 Mar 1218[1073].] The precise family relationship, assuming that this document is genuine (see above), between King Friedrich II and Liébaud [III] has not been ascertained. Courcelles records that Liébaud was called “nepos de Thibaud de Rougemont vicomte de Besançon” in a donation made by the latter to the priory of Saint-Marcel dated Oct 1222 (no citation reference)[1074]. “Galterus dominus Risnelli” recorded that “pater meus G. quondam dominus de Risnel” had granted property “apud Dainuile” to “domino Libaudo de Bafroimont” as fiduciaries, by charter dated 1226[1075]. An inscription at Morimond records the burial of “Liebaux sire de Boufraumont et sa femme Isabelle et Isabes leur fille damde d’Aigremont”[1076].

m firstly ([1175] or before?) [HEDWIDE], daughter of ---. Europäische Stammtafeln names “Hadvide v Vaudémont, T v Graf Gerhard II” as Liébaud’s first wife[1077]. The primary source which confirms her name and marriage has not been identified. Her suggested family origin is presumably based on Poull who suggests that she was Hedwide de Vaudémont, daughter of Gérard [II] Comte de Vaudémont & his first wife Gertrude de Joinville, noting the couple’s marriage “avant 1190”[1078]. If it is correct, as also indicated by Europäische Stammtafeln (see below), that the couple’s four children were named in 1181, the marriage must have taken place many years earlier. In support of his suggestion about her parentage, Poull cites two documents. Firstly, “Huardus domicellus de Beffroymont et dominus de la Rolleye” [La Rouillie] confirmed donations to Flabémont abbey made by “patre meo Leobaudo” by charter dated Jul 1238, witnessed by “domini de Savilley avunculi mei et domini de Beffroymont fratris mei”[1079], indicating in a later passage that “domini de Savilley” was Geoffroy Seigneur de Deuilly[1080]. Poull says that Huard was this couple’s second son but, as noted below, other sources suggest that he was the son of Liébaud [III] by his second wife. Secondly, Liébaud [IV] Seigneur de Bauffremont asked “son cousin Henri comte de Vaudémont” to seal a charter dated Mar 1262[1081]. Poull names Liébaud [IV] as this couple’s grandson, although other indications suggest that Liébaud [IV]’s father (Pierre [I] Seigneur de Bauffremont) was also Liébaud [III]’s son by his second marriage. Considering these factors, it is suggested that Poull’s indication of the possible family origin of Liébaud [III]’s first wife should be treated with caution until further source material emerges.

m secondly ISABELLE de Reynel, daughter of GUYARD Seigneur de Reynel & his wife Emmeline Dame de Gondrecourt. [“Libaldus dominus de Bofremont filius quondam domini Hugonis” acknowledged having received “villam...et...castrum...Chales” in fee from Thibaut Comte de Bar, with the consent of “Petrus filius meus et Isabella de Rinel uxor mea”, by charter dated Jun 1202, reproduced by vidimus dated 19 Jun 1360 at the request of “domini Huonis de Beffromont militis”[1082]. As in the cases of the charters dated 14 Nov 1157, 14 Sep 1168 and 30 Dec 1182, the common vidimus date raises suspicion regarding this document.] Courcelles says that she was “Isabelle née comtesse de Risnel” but does not specify her precise parentage[1083]. An inscription at Morimond records the burial of “Liebaux sire de Boufraumont et sa femme Isabelle et Isabes leur fille damde d’Aigremont”[1084]. The charter dated Jul 1238, under which [her son] “Huardus domicellus de Beffroymont et dominus de la Rolleye” [La Rouillie] confirmed donations to Flabémont abbey made by “patre meo Leobaudo”, was witnessed by “domini de Savilley [Sauville] avunculi mei...”[1085]. Assuming that “avunculi” in this document indicates maternal uncle, Huard’s mother was the sister of this unnamed Seigneur de Sauville.

Liébaud [III] & his first wife had four children:

1. PIERRE de Bauffremont (-after 1202). Europäische Stammtafeln names Pierre as the oldest son of Liébaud [III] by his first wife, with the dates 1181 and 1202[1086]. The primary source associated with the former date has not been identified. The chronology suggests that Liébaud’s known son and successor Pierre [I] (see below) could not have been the same person who was named in 1181. [“Libaldus dominus de Bofremont filius quondam domini Hugonis” acknowledged having received “villam...et...castrum...Chales” in fee from Thibaut Comte de Bar, with the consent of “Petrus filius meus et Isabella de Rinel uxor mea”, by charter dated Jun 1202, reproduced by vidimus dated 19 Jun 1360 at the request of “domini Huonis de Beffromont militis”[1087]. As in the cases of the charters dated 14 Nov 1157, 14 Sep 1168 and 30 Dec 1182, the common vidimus date raises suspicion regarding this document.]

2. WIHARD de Bauffremont (-after 1181). Europäische Stammtafeln names Wihard as the second son of Liébaud [III] by his first wife, with the date 1181[1088]. The primary source associated with this date has not been identified.

3. two daughters (-after 1181). Europäische Stammtafeln records two unnamed daughters of Liébaud [III] by his first wife, with the date 1181[1089]. The primary source associated with this date has not been identified.

Liébaud [III] & his second wife had four children (Europäische Stammtafeln records their parentage[1090]. The primary sources which confirm that they were born from their father’s second marriage have not been identified, except in the case of the daughter Isabelle as shown below. The chronology of the two older sons suggests that they would have been born later than 1181, when Liébaud’s two sons by his first wife were named in 1181 as indicated above.):

4. PIERRE [I] de Bauffremont (-[1239/41]). Seigneur de Bauffremont. “Petrus de Befromont miles filius quondam domini Libaldi” renounced all disputes with Henri Comte de Bar and did homage for “terra de Loysicao” and “villa...Vallis” except the part which he had granted to “Willelmo de Mariniaco quando ei filiam meam Yolant maritavi”, by charter dated 19 Oct 1236, reproduced by vidimus dated 19 Jun 1360 at the request of “domini Huonis de Beffromont militis”[1091]. This charter includes the same vidimus date as the charters dated 14 Nov 1157, 14 Sep 1168, 30 Dec 1182 and Jun 1202 quoted above, and concerning which suspicions are raised regarding their authenticity. There appears to be nothing in the text of this document dated 19 Oct 1236 to raise suspicion, although the date of the document is inconsistent with the contract for the marraige of Pierre’s daughter Yolande which is dated 1241 (see below). One possibility is that the vidimus paragraph in this document was used by the forger of the other documents as the pattern which he copied. Courcelles records that Pierre be Bauffremont granted land “à Colviler et à Neuviler” to “Pierre du Tilleul damoiseau”, with the consent of “Agnès sa femme, de Liébaud, d’Huon ou Huard, et de ses autres enfants”, by charter dated 1236 (no citation reference)[1092]. “Huardus domicellus de Beffroymont et dominus de la Rolleye” [La Rouillie] confirmed donations to Flabémont abbey made by “patre meo Leobaudo” by charter dated Jul 1238, witnessed by “domini de Savilley avunculi mei et domini de Beffroymont fratris mei”[1093]. m as her first husband, AGNES de Vergy, daughter of GUILLAUME de Vergy Seigneur de Mirebeau, d’Autrey et de Champlitte & his wife Clémence de Fouvent. Courcelles records her parentage but provides no primary source reference which confirmst the information[1094]. Her parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 1256 quoted below. Courcelles records that Pierre be Bauffremont granted land “à Colviler et à Neuviler” to “Pierre du Tilleul damoiseau”, with the consent of “Agnès sa femme, de Liébaud, d’Huon ou Huard, et de ses autres enfants”, by charter dated 1236 (no citation reference)[1095]. She married secondly (before 1254) as his second wife, Ulric [II] Comte de Ferrette. “Agnès contesse de Ferretes” notified the agreement brokered by “me sires Huars de Baffroiment” between Mureau and “me fis Liebaus” concerning “de dimes de Gendrevile et de Aiwruile...” by charter dated 1254[1096]. “Agnes contesse de Ferrette et dame de Biaffroymont et…Liebauz ses fiz” reached agreement with the abbey of Cherlieu by charter dated 1256 which names "nostre maire…Clemence dame de Fouvanz et Henry de Vergy mon frère senechaul de Borgoigne"[1097]. “Agnès contesse de Ferrotes” confirmed donations made to Clairfontaine by “Liebauz mes fiz sires de Befroimont” by charter dated 1261[1098]. Pierre [I] & his wife had six children:

a) YOLANDE de Bauffremont . “Alidis...ducissa mater ducis Burgundiæ” recorded that “Clementia domina de Fonuanz et de Mirebello” granted money to “Vuillelmo filio Vuillelmi domini de Marigné pro maritagio Hyolandis filiæ dominæ de Braframmont”, naming “Hynricus filius suus et dominus Hugo miles de Belloloco et Hugo de Sedeloco bailliuus de Chanlite” as fiduciaries, by charter dated 1241[1099]. The charter confirms that Yolande was born from her father’s marriage to Agnes de Vergy. Considering the likely birth dates of the children of Pierre [I], Yolande must have been a child at the date of this charter. Even if this is correct, the date suggests that Yolande was one of her parents’ older children. “Petrus de Befromont miles filius quondam domini Libaldi” renounced all disputes with Henri Comte de Bar and did homage for “terra de Loysicao” and “villa...Vallis” except the part which he had granted to “Willelmo de Mariniaco quando ei filiam meam Yolant maritavi”, by charter dated 19 Oct 1236, reproduced by vidimus dated 19 Jun 1360 at the request of “domini Huonis de Beffromont militis”[1100]. As noted above, the date of this charter is inconsistent with the contract for Yolande’s marriage being signed in 1241. m (contract 1241) GUILLAUME de Marigny, son of GUILLAUME de Marigny & his wife ---.

b) LIEBAUD [IV] de Bauffremont (-Arras [late] 1303). Courcelles records that Pierre be Bauffremont granted land “à Colviler et à Neuviler” to “Pierre du Tilleul damoiseau”, with the consent of “Agnès sa femme, de Liébaud, d’Huon ou Huard, et de ses autres enfants”, by charter dated 1236 (no citation reference)[1101]. Liébaud’s birth from his father’s marriage with Agnes de Vergy is confirmed by the 1254 charter cited above under his mother. Seigneur de Bauffremont.

- see below.

c) GAUTHIER de Bauffremont . Canon at Toul. He was proposed as Bishop of Toul in 1271. Courcelles provides some further background[1102]. [“Libaldus dominus de Biaffroimont miles filius Agnetis quondam comitisse Ferretensis” donated property to Toul, with the consent of "uxoris mee M. de Caseolo et Galteri fratris mei electi Tullensis et Hugonis et Petri fratrum meorum", for the soul of “Petri patris mei quondam domini de Biaffroimont”, by charter dated Mar 1271[1103].]

d) HUARD [Huon/Hugues] de Bauffremont . Courcelles records that Pierre be Bauffremont granted land “à Colviler et à Neuviler” to “Pierre du Tilleul damoiseau”, with the consent of “Agnès sa femme, de Liébaud, d’Huon ou Huard, et de ses autres enfants”, by charter dated 1236 (no citation reference)[1104]. [“Libaldus dominus de Biaffroimont miles filius Agnetis quondam comitisse Ferretensis” donated property to Toul, with the consent of "uxoris mee M. de Caseolo et Galteri fratris mei electi Tullensis et Hugonis et Petri fratrum meorum", for the soul of “Petri patris mei quondam domini de Biaffroimont”, by charter dated Mar 1271[1105].]

e) PIERRE de Bauffremont (-after [10] Jan 1303). [“Libaldus dominus de Biaffroimont miles filius Agnetis quondam comitisse Ferretensis” donated property to Toul, with the consent of "uxoris mee M. de Caseolo et Galteri fratris mei electi Tullensis et Hugonis et Petri fratrum meorum", for the soul of “Petri patris mei quondam domini de Biaffroimont”, by charter dated Mar 1271[1106].] Courcelles says, in relation to Pierre be Bauffremont, that “on conjecture qu’il avait eu pour femme une héritière de la maison de Bulgnéville et qu’il eut...enfants” and lists some of his supposed descendants[1107]. Courcelles presumably confuses Pierre with his first cousin Pierre who is named below. same person as...? PIERRE de Bauffremont (-after 14 Mar 1290). Rudolf King of Germany acknowledged having received “Petrus abbas Luthrensis [Lure] princeps noster” as “imperii principem” by charter dated 14 Mar 1290[1108].

f) AGNES de Bauffremont (-after 6 Dec 1314). Europäische Stammtafeln records her parentage and two marriages, naming her first husband “Jean de Passavant 1250/88, 1294†”[1109]. Abbé Martin names as her first husband “Jean sire de Monthureux-le-Sec chevalier” by whom she had “trois enfants, Jean, Simonin et Marie de Monthureux” (no sources cited)[1110]. The primary sources which confirm her parentage and first marriage have not been identified. Abbé Martin records a charter dated 6 Dec 1314 under which [her son] Gérard [II] de Pulligny declared that “Messire Jehan chevalier sire de Pulligny son père” had bequeathed property to Clairlieu church for his burial there and anniversary, with the consent of “Agnès de Baffroyment dame de Pulligny sa mère, de Liébaud son frère et d’Elissant sa sœur”[1111]. m firstly as his second wife, JEAN de Passavant Seigneur de Thuillières et de Monthureux, son of SIMON Seigneur de Passavant & his wife --- (-[1288/94]). m secondly JEAN [II] Seigneur de Pulligny, son of --- (-before 1308). Abbé Martin does not name his parents in his review of the Pulligny family[1112].

5. HUARD de Bauffremont (-after Oct 1255). Seigneur de La Rouillie [canton de Bulgnéville]. “Huardus domicellus de Beffroymont et dominus de la Rolleye” [La Rouillie] confirmed donations to Flabémont abbey made by “patre meo Leobaudo” by charter dated Jul 1238, witnessed by “domini de Savilley avunculi mei et domini de Beffroymont fratris mei”[1113]. Seigneur de Bulgnéville: “Huars de Beffroyment sire de Bulleneigneville” and others founded the town of “Seurauville” by charter dated Oct 1255[1114].

6. HUGUES de Bauffremont (-after Oct 1256). His parentage is indicated by the Oct 1256 charter quoted below. “Hugo de Biafromont miles” donated property “que habeo...jure hereditario...in villis de Travilez, de Rore et de Sircourt” to “Libado de Biafromont domicello...nepotis mei”, as held by “domino Petro de Biaffromont fratre meo, patre quondam dicti Libadi”, with the consent of “Johanna de Aspero-Monte uxor mea”, by charter dated Oct 1256 (copied into a document dated 1308)[1115]. m JEANNE d’Aspremont, daughter of --- (-after Oct 1256). “Hugo de Biafromont miles” donated property “que habeo...jure hereditario...in villis de Travilez, de Rore et de Sircourt” to “Libado de Biafromont domicello...nepotis mei”, as held by “domino Petro de Biaffromont fratre meo, patre quondam dicti Libadi”, with the consent of “Johanna de Aspero-Monte uxor mea”, by charter dated Oct 1256 (copied into a document dated 1308)[1116]. Huard & his wife had one child:

7. ISABELLE de Bauffremont (-after 1245, bur Morimond). An inscription at Morimond records the burial of “Liebaux sire de Boufraumont et sa femme Isabelle et Isabes leur fille damde d’Aigremont”[1117]. m [before 1230]) RENIER [III] Seigneur d’Aigremont, son of --- ([1200]-[1245]).

The parentage of Jean de Bauffremont has not been confirmed. According to Europäische Stammtafeln, he was the son of Liébaud [III] Seigneur de Bauffremont by his second wife Isabelle de Reynel[1118]. Considering the extensive falsifications noted in the introduction to Bauffremont above, it is prudent to await the emergence of reliable primary sources before speculating on family connections such as these.

1. JEAN de Bauffremont (-before 1308). Seigneur de Removille. m ---. The name of Jean's wife is not known. Jean & his wife had two children:

a) PIERRE de Bauffremont (-1321). Seigneur de Removille. Ferry Duke of Lorraine acknowledged that “messire Pierre de Beffroimont sire de Remonville chevalier” had acquired “une Remonville” from “Liebauz signour de Beffroimont chevalier” and what “Guillaume ses frere tient de luy en Aumaise”, as held by “Jehan ses père”, by charter dated 1308[1119]. Poull cites sources dated between “1281 à sa disparition survenue en 1321”, adding that he was “un personage de légende” who took part in the 1294 joust in which he mortally wounded the Duke of Brabant, and also in “l’expédition de Sicile”[1120]. m MARGUERITE d’Autrey, daughter of ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Pierre’s wife has not been identified. According to Europäische Stammtafeln, she was “Marguerite d’Autrey”[1121]. Pierre & his wife had one child:

i) LAURE de Bauffremont (-bur Flabémont). Europäische Stammtafeln shows her parentage and marriage[1122]. Calmet says that Henri married “Dame Lore”, without specifying her family origin, noting that the couple donated a mill to Flabémont in Jan 1318 (O.S.?)[1123]. Her parentage is indicated by the charters dated 6 Mar 1345 (O.S.) and 3 Feb 1348 (O.S.) under which her husband and sona Colin and Simon swore homage to the Seigneur de Bauffremont for Removille. She died before 1341 when her son Jean was assessed for her fief (see below). m (before Jan 1319) HENRI Seigneur de Deuilly, son of COLIN Seigneur de Deuilly & his wife Alix --- (-2 Mar 1348, bur Flabémont).

b) GUILLAUME de Bauffremont . Ferry Duke of Lorraine acknowledged that “messire Pierre de Beffroimont sire de Remonville chevalier” had acquired “une Remonville” from “Liebauz signour de Beffroimont chevalier” and what “Guillaume ses frere tient de luy en Aumaise”, as held by “Jehan ses père”, by charter dated 1308[1124].

LIEBAUD [IV] de Bauffremont, son of PIERRE [I] Seigneur de Bauffremont & his wife Agnes de Vergy (-Arras [late] 1303). Courcelles records that Pierre be Bauffremont granted land “à Colviler et à Neuviler” to “Pierre du Tilleul damoiseau”, with the consent of “Agnès sa femme, de Liébaud, d’Huon ou Huard, et de ses autres enfants”, by charter dated 1236 (no citation reference)[1125]. Liébaud’s birth from his father’s marriage with Agnes de Vergy is confirmed by the 1254 charter cited below. Seigneur de Bauffremont. “Agnès contesse de Ferretes” notified the agreement brokered by “me sires Huars de Baffroiment” between Mureau and “me fis Liebaus” concerning “de dimes de Gendrevile et de Aiwruile...” by charter dated 1254[1126]. “Hugo de Biafromont miles” donated property “que habeo...jure hereditario...in villis de Travilez, de Rore et de Sircourt” to “Libado de Biafromont domicello...nepotis mei”, as held by “domino Petro de Biaffromont fratre meo, patre quondam dicti Libadi”, with the consent of “Johanna de Aspero-Monte uxor mea”, by charter dated Oct 1256 (copied into a document dated 1308)[1127]. “Agnes contesse de Ferrette et dame de Biaffroymont et…Liebauz ses fiz” reached agreement with the abbey of Cherlieu by charter dated 1256 which names "nostre maire…Clemence dame de Fouvanz et Henry de Vergy mon frère senechaul de Borgoigne"[1128]. The involvement of his mother in this document suggests that Liébaud [IV] was still a minor at that date. [“Libaldus dominus de Biaffroimont miles filius Agnetis quondam comitisse Ferretensis” donated property to Toul, with the consent of "uxoris mee M. de Caseolo et Galteri fratris mei electi Tullensis et Hugonis et Petri fratrum meorum", for the soul of “Petri patris mei quondam domini de Biaffroimont”, by charter dated Mar 1271[1129].] “Liebaus sires de Beffroiment” swore homage to Thibaut Comte de Bar for “Ruppes”, with the consent of “Adelinne ma femme dame de Beffroimont”, and “Adelinne dame de Beffroimont, de cui heritaige ladicte Ruppes...muevent” also swore homage, dated Mar 1280, included in a vidimus dated 12 Aug 1377[1130]. “Liebaus sire de Beffroimont” acknowledged holding “une pièce de boix...entre Relanges et Ligneville” and another which “mes fis Huars ai acquestei” from Ferry Duke of Lorraine by charter dated 13 Apr 1296[1131]. Petit says that Liébaud died “dans une chevauchée en Flandre, vers le mois d’octobre 1302, et en janvier suivant ses enfants firent le partage de ses biens” (no sources cited)[1132]. An anonymous chronicle of Flanders records that “sire Liebaut de Baufremont, sire Hubert de Beaujeu et le sire de Vaucoulour” left Tournay to attack “l’église de le Bassée”, and that “sire Lubault de Baufremont” died at Arras the next day from his wounds, dated to late 1303 from the context[1133].

[m firstly MARGUERITE de Choiseul, daughter of [ROBERT de Choiseul Seigneur de Traves & his wife Isabelle de Rougemont] (-[after Mar 1271]). Courcelles states that Marguerite, wife of Liébaud [IV] de Bauffremont, was “fille de Robert de Choiseul chevalier sire de Traves, de Scey, de Granville, et d’Isabelle de Rougemont, et petite-fille de Renaud de Choiseul”, that she was “dame de Scey-sur-Saône”, and records that she and her husband were named in a charter dated 1283 (no citation reference)[1134]. If Marguerite was a member of the Choiseul family, the chronology suggests that this parentage may be correct. [“Libaldus dominus de Biaffroimont miles filius Agnetis quondam comitisse Ferretensis” donated property to Toul, with the consent of "uxoris mee M. de Caseolo et Galteri fratris mei electi Tullensis et Hugonis et Petri fratrum meorum", for the soul of “Petri patris mei quondam domini de Biaffroimont”, by charter dated Mar 1271[1135]]. Bearing in mind the suspicions about this charter dated Mar 1271 (as discussed in the introduction to the present chapter), it is not known whether any of this information is correct or even whether Marguerite ever existed. If Liébaud did marry Marguerite, she would have been his first wife. The document dated 10 Jan 1302 quoted below shows that Marguerite was not the mother of Liébaud’s sons Gauthier and Huard. That document lists the properties divided between Gauthier and his brother, which do not include Scey-sur-Saône. Père Anselme records Marguerite, daughter of Robert de Choiseul-Traves, as the wife of “Vauther sire de Baufremont, de Valengin et de Soye, avec lequel elle vivoit en 1283”[1136]: as Gauthier was the son of Liébaud [IV] (see below), Anselme’s suggestion is impossible chronologically and presumably the date 1283 is an error.]

m [secondly] (before Mar 1280) as her second husband, ADELINE d’Epinal, widow of GEOFFROY de Rosières, daughter of GAUTHIER d’Epinal & his wife Hawide --- (-[Feb 1291/10 Jan 1303]). “Liebaus sires de Beffroiment” swore homage to Thibaut Comte de Bar for “Ruppes”, with the consent of “Adelinne ma femme dame de Beffroimont”, and “Adelinne dame de Beffroimont, de cui heritaige ladicte Ruppes...muevent” also swore homage, dated Mar 1280, included in a vidimus dated 12 Aug 1377[1137]. “Pierres de Beffroyment sires de Bulgenvile et Jehans de Rosières chevalier” notified that “messires Wautiers sires de Beffroymont et messires Huairs ses frères chevalier” agreed the partition of the territories of “mon signour Liebaut signour de Beffroymont lour peire, qui fuit, et de ma dame Adeline sa femme lour meire que fuit” by charter dated [10] Jan 1302 (probably O.S.), which lists all the properties in question[1138]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Liébaud [IV] married secondly “before Mar 1280” “Adeline d’Epinal Dame de Ruppes, widow of Joffroi de Rosières, daughter of Gauthier (d. [Feb 1291/9 Feb 1302])”, who was mother of his son Huard[1139]. The primary source which confirms her parentage has not been identified. Her first marriage is confirmed by the charter dated Feb 1291 under which Ferry Duke of Lorraine confirmed that “Jehan de Rouzieres chevalier filz Joffrois de Rouzieres” exchanged property with him, naming “Liebault sieur de Beffroymont chevalier et...ma dame Adeline sa femme mère audit Jean” who made commitments[1140]. Petit says that Liébaud married “Adeline dame de Ruppes, veuve de Geofroi de Rosières, fille du chansonnier Gautier d’Epinal” (no source cited) and does not mention his supposed first marriage to Marguerite de Choiseul[1141].

Liébaud [IV] & his [second] wife had children (Europäische Stammtafeln lists six children[1142]. Only those children linked to other families included in Medieval Lands are shown below. Others will be added after the corresponding primary sources have been identified.):

1. GAUTHIER de Bauffremont (-[1335]). His birth from his father’s [second] marriage is confirmed by the [10] Jan 1302 charter quoted below. Seigneur de Bauffremont. “Pierres de Beffroyment sires de Bulgenvile et Jehans de Rosières chevalier” notified that “messires Wautiers sires de Beffroymont et messires Huairs ses frères chevalier” agreed the partition of the territories of “mon signour Liebaut signour de Beffroymont lour peire, qui fuit, et de ma dame Adeline sa femme lour meire que fuit” by charter dated [10] Jan 1302 (probably O.S.), which lists all the properties in question[1143]. “Oudet de Tilluel ecuyer” surrendered his fief to “Watier chevalier seignour de Boffroyment” by charter dated Jun 1326[1144]. “Vauthiers sires de Beffroymont” declared himself liege of “le conte de Bar” for “Beffroimont, le chastel, la ville...Lambecourt...Gendreville...” by charter dated Jul 1332[1145]. Europäische Stammtafeln records Gauthier’s death in 1335[1146]: the basis for this date has not been found. m ([1300/05?]) MARGUERITE [de Choiseul] [“de Choüe”], daughter of [RAYNARD [I] de Choiseul-Traves & his wife Marguerite de Brancion] (-after 2 May 1315). Heiress of Scey-sur-Saône: a manuscript cites an inscription at Scey-sur-Saône “[en] la chapelle de Baufremont...le seigr de Baufremont qui espousa l’héritière de Scey de la maison de Choiseul que l’on void à son costé sans inscription ny milliaire, mais il porte une cotte d’armes aux armes de Baufremont”[1147]. As Scey-sur-Saône was held by Robert de Choiseul Seigneur de Traves, it is reasonable to suppose therefore that the wife of the unnamed seigneur de Bauffremont recorded in this inscription was his descendant. Other sources cited above indicate another Marguerite de Choiseul, Robert’s supposed daughter, as the possible first wife of Liébaud [IV] Seigneur de Bauffremont. As that supposed couple had no children, it is unlikely that she was the heiress to whom the Scey-sur-Saône inscription refers. It is probable that the inscription refers to Gauthier Seigneur de Bauffremont (son of Liébaud [IV]) and his wife, as their second son Huard inherited Scey-sur-Saône. Several secondary sources do name “Marguerite de Choiseul” as Gauthier’s wife, without naming her parents: for example, Plancher in 1741[1148] and Lefebvre in the early 20th century[1149]. The question is confused by another line of authors who name Gauthier’s wife as Robert’s daughter, despite the obvious chronological difficulty: for example, in 1740 Iselin (following Père Anselme[1150]) recorded that “Margaretam”, daughter of “Robertus von Choiseul, Herr von Traves” and “Isabella von Rougemont”, married “Vaucherium Herrn von Baufremont”[1151]. Bert M. Kamp has recently highlighted that the chronological difficulty is best resolved if Gauthier’s wife was an otherwise unrecorded daughter of Raynard [I] de Choiseul, Robert’s oldest son[1152], and it is indeed plausible that Robert could have allocated Scey-sur-Saône to the daughter of his deceased oldest son in his succession. The question is further confused by early secondary sources recording Gauthier’s wife as a completely different person: for example Dunod names her “Jeanne de Scey” (no source cited, no parents named)[1153], while Courcelles names “Jeanne de Scey, fille d’Otton seigneur de Scey en Varias et de N... de Neufchâtel” as Gauthier’s wife[1154]. Courcelles’s reference suggests confusion between Scey-en-Varais (now Scey-Maisières in the département Doubs) and Scey-sur-Saône (now Scey-sur-Saône et Saint-Albin in the département Haute-Saône), although presumably it is possible that Jeanne was another wife of Gauthier, married either before or after Marguerite. The issue is confused even further by a charter dated 2 May 1315 in which “Vauthiers chivaliers sires de Beffroyment” sold “la moities de tous les dismes gros...de la ville d’Orville” to the church of La Mothe, with the consent of “mon madame Marguerite de Choüe ma feme” (original partly damaged)[1155]: the editor of this document interpreted “Choüe” as “Choiseul”, which is unexpected considering that the name is usually written as today in contemporary primary source documentation in French, while the Latin is usually “Chosolio” or “Caseoli”. Europäische Stammtafeln identifies Gauthier’s wife as “Marguerite de Crus (heute: Creue, Meuse), 1315”[1156]: no “Crus” family has been identified. Europäische Stammtafeln dates Gauthier’s marriage to “before 2 May 1313[1157], although the chronology of the couple’s descendants suggests an earlier date, say [1300/05?]. The latter date would be consistent with Marguerite being the daughter of Raynard [I] de Choiseul-Traves. Gauthier & his wife had children (Europäische Stammtafeln lists seven children, with two possible additional children[1158]. The other children will be added here after the corresponding primary sources have been identified.):

a) LIEBAUD [V] de Bauffremont ([1300/05?]-after 5 May 1372). His birth date is estimated from the date of the contract for his first marriage, assuming that he was an adolescent at the time. Seigneur de Bauffremont.

- see below.

b) CATHERINE de Bauffremont . Europäische Stammtafeln records her parentage, marriage, and marriage date[1159]. The primary source which confirms the information has not been identified. If the date is correct, Catherine was presumably one of her parents’ oldest children. m ([1315]) FERRY [III] de Ludres, son of ---.

c) HUARD de Bauffremont (-1380). Henri Comte de Bar granted compensation to “monsiour Huard de Beffromont chevalier” for losses he incurred while in Henri’s service by charter dated 15 Jan 1344[1160]. Seigneur de Scey-sur-Saône.

- see below.

d) CUNEGONDE de Bauffremont . Abbé Martin records that Simon de Joinville married “Cunégonde de Bauffremont” (no parents stated)[1161]. Europäische Stammtafeln records her parentage as shown here[1162], which seems consistent with best estimates of the Bauffremont family chronology. m SIMON de Joinville Seigneur de Beaupré, son of ANDRE de Joinville Seigneur de Beaupré et de Bonney & his wife Isabelle Dame de Bonney ([1300/05?]-after Jul 1386).

2. HUARD de Bauffremont (-[1303/05]). His birth from his father’s [second] marriage is confirmed by the [10] Jan 1302 charter quoted below. “Liebaus sire de Beffroimont” acknowledged holding “une pièce de boix...entre Relanges et Ligneville” and another which “mes fis Huars ai acquestei” from Ferry Duke of Lorraine by charter dated 13 Apr 1296[1163]. Seigneur de Ruppes.

3. HEDWIGE de Bauffremont (-after May 1310). Europäische Stammtafeln records her parentage and marriage, dating the marriage to “after 1272” which is anachronistic considering her husband’s suggested date of birth[1164]. The primary source which confirms her precise parentage has not been identified. She is named in the 1325 marriage contract between Alix, daughter of “Dimanche ou Dominique de Salins chevalier seigneur de Marchaut, Pleurre et Saint Martin” and his wife “Isabelle de la Roche dame de Marchaut, fille d’Otton sire de la Roche sur l’Ognon chevalier”, and [her son] “Guillaume d’Oiselet, fils de Jean d’Oiselet chevalier seigneur de Flagey et d’Edvige de Bauffremont”, by contract dated 1325[1165]. m JEAN d’Oiselay Seigneur de Flagey, son of --- ([1260/69]-6 May 1313).

LIEBAUD [V] de Bauffremont, son of GAUTHIER Seigneur de Bauffremont & his wife Marguerite de --- ([1300/05?]-after 5 May 1372). His birth date is estimated from the date of the contract for his first marriage, assuming that he was an adolescent at the time, and bearing in mind the likely marriage date of his parents. Seigneur de Bauffremont. Henri Comte de Bar assigned income from “notre seneschaussée de La Mothe” to “chevalier messire Liebault de Baffromont” by charter dated Jun 1342[1166]. “Liebaulz signour de Beffroymont chevalier” acknowledged holding “le chastel de Beffroymont, la ville dudit Beffroymont...la ville de Gendreville...” from “le duc de Bar marchis du Pont”, as held by “Waulthiers ses perres”, by charter dated 8 Aug 1364[1167]. Liébaud [V] fought and was captured at the battle of Poitiers in 1356: a charter dated Nov 1364 records that Charles V King of France granted remission to “Liebaut sire de Beffromont en l’empire et de Philebert son filz chevaliers”, noting that the former was captured during the battle of Poitiers[1168]. Europäische Stammtafeln records his date of death as shown above[1169]: the primary source which confirms this date has not been identified.

m firstly (contract 9 May 1317) GUILLEMETTE de Montagu, daughter of [GUILLAUME Seigneur de Montaigu [Burgundy-Capet] & his third wife Marie des Barres] (-before 1320). Her parentage is indicated by the following document: “Watiers sires de Bafremont chevalier” acknowledged that “mes...filz Liebaz ai pris par mariage noble damisale et saige Willemate suer Odat signor de Montagu” and assigned dower to her by charter dated 9 May 1317[1170]. Guillemette was not named in her supposed father’s Jan 1298 testament, which suggests that, if this parentage is correct, she was born later, maybe posthumously. The suggested date of the marriage of her husband’s parents shown above, if correct, suggests that the couple were still children in 1317, and that none of Liébaud’s children were born from this marriage.

m secondly (1320) BEATRICE de Vauvray, daughter of ULRIC de Vauvray Seigneur de Charnay & his wife ---. Poull indicates that Liébaud [V] married secondly “Béatrice de Vauvray”[1171]. Europäische Stammtafeln dates the marriage to 1320 and names her parents as shown above[1172]: the primary sources which confirm this information have not been identified. If the date is correct, the suggested date of the marriage of her husband’s parents, shown above, suggests that Béatrice may still have been young at that date and that any children which the couple may have had were born several years later. No information has been found regarding her date of death.

m thirdly (contract 1343) ISABELLE de Bourlémont Dame de Rorthey, daughter of JEAN de Bourlémont & his second wife Jeanne de Grancey. “Eudes sires de Grancey chevaliers” agreed with “madame Jeanne de Grancey dame de Bourlemont nostre...suers et messires Liebiauz de Biaufromont chevaliers, genres de nostre dicte suer nostre...niez” on the dower “pour cause dou mariaige de ma dam Isabiaul fille de ma dicte suer et femme dou dit monsoingnour Liebiauz” by charter dated 1343[1173].

Liébaud [V] & his second wife had one child:

1. MARGUERITE de Bauffremont . Europäische Stammtafeln records her parentage and marriage[1174]. The primary source which confirms the information has not been identified. Dame de Vauvray. m as his first wife, HENRI de Vienne Seigneur de Mirebel, son of GAUCHER de Vienne Seigneur de Mirebel & his wife --- (-after 28 Jun 1364, bur Baume).

Liébaud [V] & his [second] wife had one child:

2. PHILIBERT de Bauffremont (-31 May 1416). His supposed second marriage (which has not been proved, see below) suggests that Philibert was born from his father’s second marriage. A charter dated Nov 1364 records that Charles V King of France granted remission to “Liebaut sire de Beffromont en l’empire et de Philebert son filz chevaliers”, noting that the former was captured during the battle of Poitiers[1175]. Seigneur de Bauffremont. [m firstly ---. No document has been found which confirms this suggested first marriage. However, Philibert’s known marriage in [1375] is late bearing in mind the first marriage of his nephew Philibert de Bauffremont Seigneur de Rorthey which is dated to [1382/85?] (see below), which in turn suggests the possibility of an earlier marriage.] m [secondly] ([1375]) as her second husband, AGNES de Jonvelle Dame de Jonvelle, de Sexfontaines et de Charny, widow of GUILLAUME de Vergy Seigneur de Mirebeau, daughter of PHILIPPE Seigneur de Jonvelle & his wife Guillemette de Charny (-[1408]). Her parentage and two marriages are confirmed by the following document: a register dated 24 Jul 1389 records that “Philibertus dominus de Bouffremonte miles et Agnes de Ioinvilla nunc eius et antea uxor defuncti Guillelmi de Vergeio scutiferi domini Mirebelli” claimed against “Ioannem de Vergeio dominum de Fonuento et Henricum de Boffremonte ad causam eius uxoris”, stating that “defunctus Guillelmus de Vergeio” married “dictam Agnetem” by whom he had “Ioannem de Vergeio et Ionname ipsius Henrici uxorem et Margaretam ab hac luce substractam”, that after Guillaume’s death “prædicta Agnes” in 1375 had “fortalitia de Borbonna, de Soilleyo et de Espernolul...pro dotalitio” and that “dictus Ioannes filius Guillelmi” had by testament dated 27 Jan [1389 from the context] appointed “prædictum de Fonuento pro duobus portionibus et uxorem dicti Philiberti pro tertia parte” as his heirs[1176]. Her marriage date is indicated by her first husband’s death dated to 1374. Philibert & his [second] wife had six children:

a) PIERRE de Bauffremont (-[1414/16]). He is named in the 14 Nov 1407 charter of his sister Jeanne quoted below.

b) JEAN de Bauffremont (-killed in battle Azincourt 25 Oct 1415). He is named in the 14 Nov 1407 charter of his sister Jeanne quoted below. Seigneur de Montfort et de Savoisy. m (1400) as her first husband, MARGUERITE de Charny Dame de Livrey, de Montfort, de Savoisy, de Roffey et de Ligny, daughter of GEOFFROY [II] de Charny [Mont-Saint-Jean] Seigneur de Savoisy & his wife Marguerite de Poitiers (-7 Oct 1460). Europäische Stammtafeln records her parentage and two marriages[1177]. She married secondly (1416) as his second wife, Humbert de Villersexel Comte de la Roche-en-Montagne.

c) JEANNE de Bauffremont (-after 5 Jul 1436). Europäische Stammtafeln records her parentage and marriage[1178]. A charter dated 14 Nov 1407 records an agreement between “Damoiselle Jeanne de Beffroiment femme de noble Guillaume d’Arberg Seigneur de Valangin, Pierre et Jean de Beffroimont ses freres chevailliers” relating to the dowry for the marriage, in the presence of “Regnault du Châtellet chevaillier Seigneur de Deuilly”[1179]. Calmet notes “une sentence du 1 juin 1491 qui maintient Jacques, Philibert et Pierre du Châtelet en possession de la moitié de la terre de Bulgnéville, contre Jean d’Arberg fils de Jeanne de Baufremont”[1180]. m (before 14 Nov 1407) GUILLAUME d’Arberg Seigneur de Valangin, son of JEAN d’Arberg Seigneur de Valangin & his wife Mathilde de Neuchâtel (-after 5 Jul 1436).

d) GUILLEMETTE de Bauffremont . Europäische Stammtafeln records her parentage and marriage[1181]. m as his first wife, PIERRE de Bauffremont Seigneur de Ruppes, son of HUART [II] de Bauffremont Seigneur de Ruppes & his wife Jeanne de Vienne (-1410).

e) ISABELLE de Bauffremont . Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the following document: “Jehan de Vergy chevalier seigneur de Fonuans et de Vignory Seneschal de Bourgongne” granted certain properties to “nostre...cousin Phelebers d’Oiseller”, which he claimed “à cause de feue Dame Ysabel de Boffremont sa mère” and which Jean’s grandfather had confiscated from “feu messire Phelebert de Boffremont iadis pere d’icelle Dame” and were renounced by “Guillaume d’Oizeler seigneur de la Villeneufue frere dudit Phelebert”, by charter dated 4 Jun 1451[1182]. m RICHARD d’Oiselay Seigneur de La Villeneuve, son of ---.

f) MARIE de Bauffremont . Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage but does not specify the primary source on which this information is based[1183]. Her family origin is confirmed by the 8 Aug 1409 testament of Alix de Villars which names “feue dame Marie de Boffremont jaidiz sa femme” as wife of Jacques de Vienne[1184]. m JACQUES de Vienne Seigneur de Ruffey, son of GUY de Vienne Seigneur de Ruffey & his wife Marie de Thoire et de Villars (-[1450]).

Liébaud [V] & his third wife had two children:

3. JEAN de Bauffremont ([1345?]-[1379/81]). Europäische Stammtafeln records his parentage, and dates which establish his date of death[1185]. Seigneur de Rorthey (which he presumably inherited from his mother, see above). m ([1366/67?]) ALIX de Fontenoy-sur-Moselle, daughter of ---. Europäische Stammtafeln records her family origin and marriage[1186]. Jean & his wife had one child:

a) PHILIBERT de Bauffremont ([1367?]-[1406/08]). Europäische Stammtafeln records his parentage[1187]. His birth date is estimated from the estimated chronology of his descendants, bearing in mind the chronology of his first wife’s family. Seigneur de Rorthey. m firstly ([1390?]) --- d’Epinal, daughter of ARNOUL Avoué d’Epinal & his wife Alix de Fontoy ([1373/76?]-after 1393?). Europäische Stammtafeln records her parentage and marriage[1188]. The primary source which confirms this information has not been identified, but it is indicated by the 12 Nov 1412 document, cited below, as her two children would then have derived their interest in Homburg from their mother’s maternal grandmother Jutta von Homburg. The estimated dates of her birth and marriage are consistent with the chronology of the Epinal/Fontoy families (follow her hyperlink). Her date of death is estimated from her having two children, bearing in mind her husband’s (undated) second marriage. m secondly COMTESSE de Saint-Germain, daughter of JEAN “le Borgne” Seigneur de Saint-Germain & his wife --- de Roucel de Saint-Germain. Europäische Stammtafeln records her parentage and marriage[1189]. Philibert & his first wife had two children (the order of their births is unknown):

i) PHILIPPE de Bauffremont ([1391/93?]-after 12 Nov 1412). Philippe is omitted by Europäische Stammtafeln. His parentage is indicated by the following document: “Colin von der Martschen” guaranteed the performance of “Winnemar von Gymnich”, who had promised “Philipp [I] von Nassau-Saarbrücken” to obtain the renunciation of “Philipp von Bauffremont und dessen Schwester” to their rights “auf [Ober-]Homburg”, by charter dated 12 Nov 1412[1190]. The date suggests that Philippe would have succeeded his father as Seigneur de Rorthey. No indication has been found of Philippe’s date of death, although he presumably predeceased his sister assuming that it is correct, as stated in Europäische Stammtafeln, that she was Dame de Rorthey.

ii) ISABELLE de Bauffremont ([1391/93?]-after 12 Nov 1412). Her existence, but not her name, is confirmed by the 12 Nov 1412 charter cited above under her brother. Dame de Rorthey: Europäische Stammtafeln records her parentage and marriage[1191]. The date of her marriage is estimated from her own estimated birth date, which in turn is estimated from the dates estimated for her maternal ancestry. m ([1405/08?]) PERRIN de Manonville, son of --- (-[1410/15][1192]).

Philibert & his second wife had one child:

iii) MARIE de Bauffremont . Dame de Saint-Germain: Europäische Stammtafeln records her parentage and marriage[1193]. m JEAN [II] de Bouzey Seigneur de Dombrot-sur-Veir, bailli de Châtelle-sur-Moselle, son of --- (-[1418/21]).

4. GAUTHIER de Bauffremont (-after [1361/70]). Europäische Stammtafeln records his parentage and date[1194].

HUARD de Bauffremont, son of GAUTHIER Seigneur de Bauffremont & his wife Marguerite [de Choiseul] (-1380). Henri Comte de Bar granted compensation to “monsiour Huard de Beffromont chevalier” for losses he incurred while in Henri’s service by charter dated 15 Jan 1344[1195]. “Huars de Boffroymont chevalier” relinquished fiefs to “mon...frere...Liebauz de Boffroymont” by charter dated 1344[1196]. Seigneur de Scey-sur-Saône.

m firstly ([1330?]) [JEANNE] de Montquintin, daughter of [JEAN [I] Seigneur de Montquintin & his wife Alix Dame de Fontoy [Fentsch]]. The primary source which confirms the name of Huard’s first wife has not been identified. Europäische Stammtafeln names “Jeanne de Ville, T v Jean I sn de Montquentin u Alix Frau von Fentsch” as the second wife of Huard de Bauffremont[1197]. The primary source which confirms her name has not been identified. Thierry d’Orjo (without naming her) suggests that she was the sister of Evrard de Montquintin Seigneur de Fontoy, and indicates her marriage, to explain how her descendants shared Fontoy[1198]. The marriage of her son Gauthier in 1356 suggests her own marriage around [1330], although this is little more than a guess given the absence of definite chronological information about the Montquintin family. Europäische Stammtafeln reverses the order of Huard’s first and second marriages (presumably confused by the “1318” date for his marriage to Agnès, see below)[1199], which is inconsistent with the dates associated with his children (especially the marriage dates of his sons Gauthier and Henri).

m secondly AGNES de Cusance, daughter of [JEAN Seigneur de Cusance & his wife Isabelle de Belvoir]. Dunod records Huard’s first wife as Agnes, daughter of Jean de Cusance & his wife Isabelle de Belvoir[1200]. Europäische Stammtafeln says that he married firstly “Agnès (de Cusance) 1318 T v (Guy Sire de Cusance u Marguerite de Neufchâtel)”, and in another table names her first husband Jean de Scey[1201]. This information has not been verified, but it would be chronologically impossible for Huard’s wife to have been Guy’s daughter and Jean de Scey’s widow. Dunod’s suggestion appears more sensible from a chronological point of view, although the primary source which confirms that it is correct has not been identified. The basis for the date “1318” has not been found, although it much too early considering the chronology of the Bauffremont family. Europäische Stammtafeln reverses the order of Huard’s first and second marriages (presumably confused by the “1318” date for his marriage to Agnès)[1202], which is inconsistent with the dates associated with his children (especially the marriage dates of his sons Gauthier and Henri).

m thirdly MARIE de Saint-Loup, daughter of ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Huard’s third wife has not been identified. Europäische Stammtafeln names her “Marie de Saint-Loup”[1203]. This information has not been verified.

Huard & his first wife had children (Europäische Stammtafeln lists eight children, without noting their mothers[1204]. Only those children linked to other families included in Medieval Lands are shown below. Others will be added after the corresponding primary sources have been identified.):

1. GAUTHIER de Bauffremont (-after 1377). Europäische Stammtafeln records his parentage[1205]. The primary source which confirms the information has not been identified. Seigneur de Fontoy. m (9 Oct 1356) JOHANNA van Berwart, daughter of JAN van Berwart Sénéchal de Luxembourg & his wife Katharina ---. Europäische Stammtafeln records her parentage[1206]. Thierry d’Orjo records her family origin and marriage date[1207]. The primary source which confirms the information has not been identified. Gauthier & his wife had two children:

a) JEANNE de Bauffremont (-1429, bur Westerloo). Butkens records her family origin (not her parents’ names) and marriage, date of death and place of burial (no sources cited)[1208]. Europäische Stammtafeln records her parents and says that she was married 4 May 1401[1209]. That date seems late if it is correct that her parents married in 1356 and also considering the chronology of her husband’s life as well as the marriage dates of her two children. The primary sources which confirm this information have not been identified. m as his second wife, JAN [I] Heer van Wesemaal, son of WILLEM [I] Heer van Wesemaal & his wife Jeanne de Fallais (-1417, after 1 Aug, bur Westerloo).

b) JEAN de Bauffremont (-before 1420). Europäische Stammtafeln records his parentage[1210]. Seigneur de Fontoy, de Ville, et de Berwart. m (6 Mar 1409) as her first husband, KUNIGUNDE von Elter [=Autel] Dame de Fontoy, daughter of HUART Seigneur d’Autel, Sterpenich & his wife ---. She married secondly (before 19 Mar 1420) Johann von Parsberg (-after 1430). Europäische Stammtafeln records her parentage and two marriages[1211]. Jean & his wife had two children:

i) JEAN de Bauffremont (-killed in battle Bulgnéville 2 Jul 1431). Europäische Stammtafeln records his parentage[1212]. Seigneur de Fontoy, de Montquentin, et de Berwart 1422.

ii) CATHERINE de Bauffremont (-before 17 Oct 1440). Europäische Stammtafeln records her parentage and marriage[1213]. Dame de Fontoy. m (after 1422) JACQUES d’Haussonville, son of ---(-Nov 1455, bur Bonfays).

Huard & his second wife had one child:

2. HENRI de Bauffremont (-after 1411). Europäische Stammtafeln records his parentage[1214]. The primary source which confirms this information has not been identified. Seigneur de Scey-sur-Saône. Seigneur de Mirebeau, de iure uxoris. A document dated 1388 (presumably [17 Jan/18 Apr] 1389 N.S.) records that “Henricus de Boffremonte dominus de Eschechiaco miles et Ioanna de Vergeio eius uxor”, as heirs of “defuncti Iohannis de Vergeio super defuncti fratris sui” claimed against “Ioannem de Vergeyo dominum de Fonuento”[1215]. A register of enquiries at the Parliament dated 31 May 1410 also records a dispute between “Henricum de Boffremont militem dominum de Steco et de Mirebello” and “Iohannem de Vergeio militem cambellanum nostrum dominum de Fonuento et senescallum Burgundie” concerning the inheritance of “defunctus Guillelmus de Vergeio consanguineus suus germanus” who died 1374 leaving “tres suos liberos annis minores...Ioannem...Ioannam et quandam filiam Margaretam”[1216]. A decision dated 1411 records the claim made by “Henricus de Boffremonte miles dominus de Steco et defuncta Ioanna de Vergeio eius uxor” against “Ioannem de Vergeio militem Cambellanum nostrum dominum de Fonuens”[1217]. m (31 May 1383) JEANNE de Vergy, daughter of GUILLAUME de Vergy Seigneur de Mirebeau et de Bourbonne & his wife Agnes de Jonvelle (-[31 May 1410/1411]). Duchesne records her parentage and marriage, arranged by “Jean de Vergy Seigneur de Fonuens son tuteur”, with “Henry de Bauffremont chevalier Seigneur de Steich, Chambellan du Duc de Bourgogne”, to whom she brought “les terres et seigneuries de Bourbonne, de Chaseaulx, Espernoul, Sailly ou Soilley, et autres”, noting that Jeanne also succeeded “à sa mère en la terre et seigneurie de Charny”, these details being confirmed by the document dated 1410 cited below[1218]. Follow her hyperlink for discussion about her mistaken identification as the second wife of Jean de Montfaucon. A register dated 24 Jul 1389 records that “Philibertus dominus de Bouffremonte miles et Agnes de Ioinvilla nunc eius et antea uxor defuncti Guillelmi de Vergeio scutiferi domini Mirebelli” claimed against “Ioannem de Vergeio dominum de Fonuento et Henricum de Boffremonte ad causam eius uxoris”, stating that “defunctus Guillelmus de Vergeio” married “dictam Agnetem” by whom he had “Ioannem de Vergeio et Ionname ipsius Henrici uxorem et Margaretam ab hac luce substractam”[1219]. A document dated 1388 (presumably [17 Jan/18 Apr] 1389 (N.S.)) records that “Henricus de Boffremonte dominus de Eschechiaco miles et Ioanna de Vergeio eius uxor”, as heirs of “defuncti Iohannis de Vergeio super defuncti fratris sui” claimed against “Ioannem de Vergeyo dominum de Fonuento”[1220]. A register of enquiries at the Parliament, dated 31 May 1410, also records the dispute between “Henricum de Boffremont militem dominum de Steco et de Mirabello et Ioannam de Vergeyo eius uxorem” and “Ioannem de Vergeio militem Cambellanum nostrum dominum de Fonuento et Senecallum Burgundiæ”, the former claiming that “Guillelmus de Vergeio dominus de Vergeyo” died leaving “Ioanne et Ioanna de Vergeyo eius liberis...in minori ætate” and repeating the claims set out in the earlier documents[1221]. A decision dated 1411 records the claim made by “Henricus de Boffremonte miles dominus de Steco et defuncta Ioanna de Vergeio eius uxor” against “Ioannem de Vergeio militem Cambellanum nostrum dominum de Fonuens”[1222]. Henri & his wife had children:

a) GUILLAUME de Bauffremont (-1474). Europäische Stammtafeln shows his parentage[1223]. The primary source which confirms this information has not been identified. Baron de Scey-sur-Saône.

D. BAUFFREMONT, SEIGNEURS de BULGNEVILLE

HUARD de Bauffremont, son of LIEBAUD [III] Seigneur de Bauffremont & his second wife Isabelle de Reynel (-after Oct 1255).

Poull indicates that “domini de Savilley” was Geoffroy Seigneur de Deuilly[1236]: if he is correct, the precise family relationship represented by the term “avunculus” has not been ascertained. Seigneur de Bulgnéville: “Huars de Beffroyment sire de Bulleneigneville” and others founded the town of “Seurauville” by charter dated Oct 1255[1237].

m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Huard’s wife has not been identified. Europäische Stammtafeln names her “Béatrice de Longwy” (no more details)[1238]. That person has not been identified in the Longwy family (see the document BURGUNDY KINGDOM-BURGUNDY COUNTY NOBILITY).

Huard & his wife had one child:

a) HUARD de Bauffremont (-after Jan 1326). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified, but his inheritance of the seigneurie de Bulgnéville suggests that Huard was the son of Pierre. Seigneur de Bulgnéville. “Huairs de Beffroimont chevalier sire de Bullegneville” promised Ferry Duke of Lorraine to buy land “en la ville de Gondrexeville” which had given to “madame Jehanne de Henalmesnil jadis femme monsr Carle de Lugneville” by charter dated Jan 1326[1242]. Europäische Stammtafeln records that Huard married firstly “Jeanne de Henamesnil 1326†” (not otherwise identified) and secondly “Mahaut de Rougemont” (who has not been identified in the Rougemont family, see BURGUNDY KINGDOM-BURGUNDY COUNTY NOBILITY), with Humbert Seigneur de Bulgnéville (see below) as his son by his second wife[1243].

b) [--- de Bauffremont ). Europäische Stammtafeln records “Barbe †(1315)” as daughter of Pierre and her marriage shown here[1244]. Dunod suggests this first marriage of Henri du Chastelet on the basis that “la terre de Bulligneville...possédée par ses descendans” was granted as a fief to Henri’s grandson by charter dated 1357 in which he names “feu son oncle Huet de Bauffremont Seigneur de Bulligneville”[1245]. The Bauffremont name “Liébaud” given to Henri’s son suggests that Dunod may be correct. Some doubt is introduced by a later document which suggests that part of the land was inherited by the children of Erard [IV] de Chastelet through their mother: a charter dated 8 Aug 1440 records the settlement of a dispute between “Herard du Chastelet chevalier Seigneur de Dulley et de Cirey...[et] Pierre et autres mes enfans” and “Claude de Tinteville Seigneur de Chanelz et de Comarien” regarding the succession of “feu...Hue de Buligneville jadis seigneur dudit lieu...ses héritiers en partie du costé paternel...ledit Claude de Tinteville et lesdits enffans de...ledit Herard”[1246]. Calmet notes “une sentence du 1 juin 1491 qui maintient Jacques, Philibert et Pierre du Châtelet en possession de la moitié de la terre de Bulgnéville, contre Jean d’Arberg fils de Jeanne de Baufremont”[1247]. m [as his first wife,] HENRI du Chastelet Seigneur d’Autigny, son of JEAN du Chastelet & his first wife Gillette de Passavant (-[1331/Dec 1346]).]

1. HUMBERT de Bauffremont (-killed in battle Ligny-en-Barrois 4 Apr 1368). Seigneur de Bulgnéville. Europäische Stammtafeln records Humbert as son of Huard (see above) by his second wife “Mahaut de Rougemont”, together with one brother and three sisters[1248]. The primary source which confirms this information has not been identified. m ---. The primary source which confirms Humbert’s marriage has not been identified. Europäische Stammtafeln records that he married “before 1360” “Jeanne de La Fauche, Mar 1406†”, daughter of “Hugues”, who married secondly “Jean de Noyers sn de Rimaucourt et de Vendeuvre-sur-Barse †Apr 1412”[1249]: if that is correct, she was “Jeanne de la Fauche, widow of Humbert de Bauffremont Seigneur de Bulgnéville, daughter of Hugues de la Fauche & his wife Jeanne d’Anglure”, who married secondly Jean de Noyers Seigneur de Rimaucourt. On the other hand, Père Anselme names “Jeanne de Joinville la Fauche, dame de Lains, de Bourreules et de Vielains” as the wife of Jean de Noyers-Rimaucourt, without naming Humbert de Bauffremont (no sources cited)[1250]. Expanding on this, Jolibois names “Jeanne, femme de Jean de Noyers, seigneur de Rimaucourt” as younger daughter of Ogier de Joinville and his wife “Marguerite de Joinville, fille d’André” (no mention of Humbert either, no sources cited)[1251]. Delaborde also records her parentage and marriage, but only cites Jolibois[1252]. If Jolibois and Delaborde are correct, Jean’s wife was Jeanne de Joinville, daughter of Ogier de Joinville Seigneur de la Fauche & his wife Marguerite de Joinville-Beaupré, although in that case it is uncertain where Humbert de Bauffremont would fit into the picture. The contradiction has not been resolved, although the following reference suggests that (in reference to Jean’s wife) the Joinville connection may be correct: Père Anselme records that Jean de Noyers “eut un long différend avec Henry seigneur de la Roche [=Henri de Saint-Dizier seigneur de la Fauche, Ogier’s son-in-law] et Thomas de la Rochelle [not identified] chevaliers”, for which Jean’s lands were confiscated and only returned by the king 22 Jun 1373 (no source citations)[1253]. Anselme does not discuss the nature of the dispute but, if Henri and Jean had married sisters, it may have resulted from their father’s succession (the explanation for the involvement of “Thomas de la Rochelle” has not been found) In conclusion, presumably the confusion results from a source (not yet found) which names her only “Jeanne de la Fauche”, different secondary authors having assigned her to the two different families which seem both to have held (part?) of la Fauche around that time. If that is correct, it is still not known whether the same Jeanne married Humbert as her first husband. Humbert & his wife had three children:

a) JEANNE de Bauffremont [Bulgnéville] (-1429, bur Bayon). Europäische Stammtafeln records her parentage and marriage, noting her death in 1429[1254]. The primary source which confirms that this is correct has not been identified. Dame de Ebexy. An epitaph at “l’église de Bayon en la chapelle des seigneurs de Fénétrange” records the burial of “Henri d’Amance chevalier seigneur de Bayon et baron dudit lieu, ensemble madame Jeanne de Bulgneville, dame de Beney [corrected to “Bexy”, =Ebexy, Vosges, by Quintard] et de Bayon, icelui fondateur de cette chapelle” who died in 1407 [date incorrect][1255]. m HENRI d’Amance, son of WICHART d’Amance & his wife Jeannette de Bayon (-[1427], bur Bayon).

F. SEIGNEURS de BAYON

Bayon is located on the right bank of the Moselle, about 25 kilometres south-east of Nancy, in the present-day French département of Meurthe-et-Moselle, arrondissement Lunéville, canton Lunéville-2.

HENRI de Lorraine "Lombarta/le Lombard", son of FERRY I Duke of Lorraine & his wife Wierchosława Ludmilla of Poland (-22 Jan before 1261). “Domino Henricho militi cognomento Lombart” donated “...villam...de Borville” to Senones by charter dated Dec 1225, witnessed by “domini ducis Lotharingiæ, domini Ph de Gillibvil, domini T militum eisdem H. fratrum”[1280]. “Dominus Regnardus de Cosseio” sold all his property “apud Cosseium” to Mathieu II Duke of Lorraine, with the consent of “uxoris mee et heredum meorum et --- comitis Tullensis”, appointing “dominum Henricum Lombardum” as fiduciary, by charter dated 14 Jun 1238[1281]. Seigneur de Bayon. Jean de Bayon’s continuation of the Chronicon Mediani-Monasterii records that “domino Henrico Lumbardi” built “fortalitium” after acquiring “prædium de Bayon”[1282]. The necrology of Senones records the death 22 Jan of “Henri de Lorraine surnommé le Lombard”[1283].

m firstly (after 1230) as her second husband, DAMETE de [Pesmes], widow of HENRI Seigneur de Fouvent, daughter of --- (-before 1256, bur Senones). The primary source which confirms her parentage and two marriages has not been identified.

m secondly (before 23 Apr 1256) as her second husband, SOPHIE, widow of KONRAD Seigneur de Lunéville, Herr von Riste, daughter of --- (-24 Sep before 1285, bur Abbaye de Beaupré). The primary source which confirms her two marriages has not been identified.

Henri & his first wife had [four] children:

1. PHILIPPE de Bayon ([1231/35?]-[1297/1300]). Poull notes that Philippe is named in his father’s charters dated Apr 1249 and 23 Apr 1256 with his brother Jacques[1284]. The earliest mention suggests that Philippe was born in the early to mid-1230s. Seigneur de Bayon. Calmet notes that Philippe was named in charters dated 1270, 1272, 1274, 1282, 1291 and 1297, that he was captured in 1281 "au combat de Moresberg" and ransomed by Ferry III Duke of Lorraine, and that he and his brother Jacques were guarantors in the treaty between Duke Ferry III and the comte de Luxembourg dated 1289[1285]. m AGNES de Riste, daughter of KONRAD Seigneur de Lunéville, Herr von Riste & his second wife Sophie --- (-12 Oct, after 1295). Calmet names "Agnès, apparamment de la Maison de Riste et peut-être fille de Conrad Comte de Riste" as the wife of “Henri de Lorraine surnommé le Lombard”, noting that she and her husband were buried at Senones[1286]. Assuming that the dates attributed to Agnes are correct, this suggestion is impossible from a chronological point of view. The primary source which confirms that Agnes was the wife of Philippe has not been identified. Philippe & his wife had two children:

a) JEAN de Bayon (-[1340/Oct 1343]). “Jehans de Bayon escuiers filz signour Philippe de Bayon chevalier” issued a guarantee for Ferry Duke of Lorraine, asking “mon...oncle monsignour Jaike de Bayon” to add his seal, by charter dated late-Jun 1301[1287]. Calmet notes that he was one of the executors of the testament of Thibaut II Duke of Lorraine dated 1312, and was named in 1315, 1316, 1335, and 1340[1288]. “Jehans sire de Baon chevaliers” acknowledged a debt owing to “mon signour Kairle de Lunéville chevalier” by charter dated 14 Aug 1322[1289]. m (after Oct 1310) as her second husband, JACQUETTE de Grandson, widow of ETIENNE [IV] d’Oiselay Seigneur de La Villeneuve, daughter of JACQUES de Grandson Seigneur de Belmont & his wife --- (-after Feb 1314). Her parentage and first marriage are confirmed by the following document: “Etienne d’Oiselay seigneur de La Villeneuve” acknowledged receipt of 2,500 livres tournois assigned on “Châtel de Fresne-Saint-Mamès and the villages of Neuvelle, Pont-de-Planches and La Villeneuve” for his marriage to “his wife Jaquette de Grandson, daughter of Jacques de Grandson seigneur de Belmont” by charter dated 31 Aug 1310[1290]. Guillaume records that “Jacquette de Granson”, daughter of “Jacques de Granson Seigneur de Beaumont, vivant en 1300”, married firstly “Etienne d’Oiselet Sire de la Villeneuve, veuf d’Alix de Choiseul” and secondly “Jean de Boyon chevalier qui vendit Feb 1313 [O.S.?] conjointément avec sa femme à Hugues Duc de Bourgogne le château de Fresne-Saint-Mammers”[1291]. The primary source which confirms her second marriage has not been identified. Quintard does not name Jean’s wife[1292]. Jean & his wife had three children:

i) JACQUES de Bayon (-1336, bur Bayon). An epitaph in the parish church of Bayon records the burial of “messire Jacob de Bayon chevalier, fils de messire Jean de Bayon chevalier” who died in 1336[1293].

ii) FERRY de Bayon (-after 1347). “Ferri de Bayon écuyer fils de feu Jean de Bayon” was obliged to deliver “sa femme Claire de Longwy” to prison after she was arrested by Thibaut Seigneur de Blâmont, dated 1347[1294].

iii) JEANNETTE de Bayon . Quintard records her parentage and marriage, adding in a later passage that her husband died “vers 1372”, without citing any sources which confirm the information, as well as noting their descendants[1296]. Presumably she was heiress of Bayon. m WICHART d’Amance, son of --- (-[1372]).

b) PHILIPPE de Bayon (-after 1345). Provost of Saint-Dié. Calmet records his parentage, notes that as “archidiacre de Sarbourg et chanoine de Metz” he was elected Bishop of Metz in [1316/17] as rival to “Philippe de Sierk archidiacre de Marsal” but that neither was appointed bishop, that he was “grand Prévôt de saint Diey” in 1323 and in that capacity excommunicated Raoul Duke of Lorraine in 1345[1297].

2. JACQUES de Bayon (-after 14 Sep 1304). Poull notes that Jacques is named in his father’s charters dated Apr 1249 and 23 Apr 1256 with his brother Pierre[1298]. Seigneur de Bayon. “Jacques de Bayon Sire de la Fauche” acquired property “à Roseliure” from “Richard d’Amance” by charter dated 1279[1299]. Calmet notes that Jacques and his brother Philippe were guarantors in the treaty between Duke Ferry III and the comte de Luxembourg dated 1289[1300]. Père Anselme records that Jacques Seigneur de Bayon and Agnes his wife granted property “à Levernois de la succession de Raynard de Choiseul, frère d’Agnes” to “Henry de Bayon leur fils” by charter dated Oct 1293[1301]. m ([May 1270/Jul 1273]) as her third husband, AGNES de Choiseul, widow firstly of SIMON de Sexfontaines and secondly of PIERRE Seigneur de La Fauche, daughter of RAYNARD [II] Seigneur de Choiseul & his second wife Alix de Dreux (-after Oct 1293). Père Anselme records that Jacques Seigneur de Bayon and Agnes his wife granted property “à Levernois de la succession de Raynard de Choiseul, frère d’Agnes” to “Henry de Bayon leur fils” by charter dated Oct 1293[1302]. Jacques & his wife had one child:

a) HENRI de Bayon (-after 18 Oct 1327). Père Anselme records that Jacques Seigneur de Bayon and Agnes his wife granted property “à Levernois de la succession de Raynard de Choiseul, frère d’Agnes” to “Henry de Bayon leur fils” by charter dated Oct 1293[1303].

Henri & his wife had children:

i) JACQUES de Bayon . “Henri de Bayon et Marguerite de Nanteuil sa femme et Jacques leur fils, époux de Claire” were named in a charter dated 1324[1307]. Quintard records his death childless in 1336, appearing to confuse Jacques with his second cousin Jacques who is named above[1308]. m CLAIRE, daughter of ---. “Henri de Bayon et Marguerite de Nanteuil sa femme et Jacques leur fils, époux de Claire” were named in a charter dated 1324[1309].

ii) GAUTHIER de Bayon (-1340). Quintard records his parentage without citing any source which confirms the information[1310]. Seigneur de Bayon. The necrology of Nancy Saint-Georges records the death in 1340 of “Monsignour Gauchier de Bayon chevalier”[1311]. m CATHERINE d’Oiselay, daughter of ---. Quintard records her family origin and marriage without citing any source which confirms the information[1312]. Gauthier & his wife had two children:

(b) CLEMENCE de Bayon . Quintard records her parentage and marriage, adding that her husband died “dans une guerre contre les Turcs”, without citing any source which confirms the information[1314]. m JEAN Seigneur de Varres et d’Arteaufontaine, son of --- (-after 1390).

3. [ADELAIDE . Quintard records her parentage and marriage, their sons “Pierre de Sierck et Jean de Sierck évêque de Toul”, without citing any sources which confirm the information but noting that Adelheid’s husband was “l’oncle de Philippe de Bayon grand-prévôt de Saint-Dié” (see above)[1315]. The relationship could have been through Philippe’s maternal or paternal family. m FERRY de Sierck, son of ---.]

4. ISABELLE de Bayon (-after 1269). Poull notes that Jacques is named in his father’s charters dated Apr 1249 with his brother Pierre and sister Isabelle[1316]. Calmet notes that Isabelle was named "dans des tîtres de Senones" dated 1249 and 1269[1317].

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

5. [JEAN de Bayon (-after 1289). Calmet notes that “Jean de Bayon” was named in charters dated 1270, 1280, and 1289[1318]. He assumes that he was the same person as Jean, son of Philippe de Bayon, who is named above. Considering that the latter was recorded in 1340, it is unlikely that he was same person who was named in 1270, especially in light of his only known marriage dated to “after Oct 1310”. It seems more likely that the earlier charters relate to another Jean de Bayon who belonged to the previous generation of the family. If that his correct, Jean’s first mention in 1270 suggests that he was considerably younger than his supposed brothers Philippe and Jacques who were named in 1249 as noted above. Maybe Jean was a son by his father’s second marriage.]

The parentage of the following person has not been ascertained.

1. THIBAUT de Bayon (-after Jan 1343). Seigneur de Bayon. “Thiébaulx sires de Baion chevalier” acknowledged a debt by charter dated mid-Jan 1343[1319].

G. SEIGNEURS de BLÂMONT

Blâmont is located about 15 kilometres east of Lunéville, in the present-day French département of Meurthe-et-Moselle, arrondissement Lunéville, canton Baccarat. Some sources call it by its German name, Blankenberg. The sources cited below suggest that Blâmont originally belonging to the comital family of Salm. However, some doubt is introduced by a charter summarised by Dom Villevieille: “Blamont (Hüe comte de Ribaupierre...” sold, with the consent of “sa femme et de ses enfans”, to “Mathieu de) et a Bu[s]chard son fils” his rights “à Ménouncourt” by charter dated 1245[1320]. “Blamont...Mathieu de” and his son have not been identified. It is not known whether they were simply knights at Blâmont or related in some way to the family which held the seigneurie at that time. The other difficulty with this document is that “Hugo Graf von Rappolstein” has not otherwise been identified in the Rappoltstein family, see the document ALSACE where one of the possiblities raised is that the document was misdated.

Blâmont evolved into a seigneurie of some local importance by the late 14th century, reflected by several prestigious dynastic marriages which are shown below. The territories of the seigneurie de Blâmont were incorporated into the duchy of Lorraine after the death in 1506 of the last seigneur without male heirs.

FRIEDRICH von Salm, son of HEINRICH [III] Graf von Salm & his wife Jutta [Judith] de Lorraine (-[1255]). Richer records that "comite Henrico…dictus…de Salmis…contemporaneus noster" married "sororem Friderici ducis Lotoringie" and had two sons "primogenitum…Henricum et alium…Fridericum"[1321]. "H dictus comes de Salmes, J comitissa uxor mea, Henricus et Fredericus filii nostri" donated property to the abbey of Senone by charter dated 19 Feb 1219[1322]. “Henricus comes de Salmis” swore homage to Mathieu II Duke of Lorraine for “curiam de Lafenborne et bannum de Dungevin” [Lafrimbolle and Domjevin], noting that after his death they would pass to “filiius meus Henricus...Fridericus filius meus”, by charter dated Jun 1224[1323]. “Henry Comte de Salm, Joatte sa femme, Henry et Frederic ses fils, Lorette et Joatte ses filles” are named in a charter 1224 for “Saint-Diey”[1324]. Richer records that "Friderico [de Albo-monte] filio Henrici comitis" was expelled from "castro de Albo-monte" and retreated to "castrum…Piere-percie"[1325]. Seigneur de Blâmont [Blankenberg]. Richer records that "comitem Henricum…filius eius Fridericus miles" continued to attack the monastery, and retained "Album-montem et superius castrum de Danubrio", specifying that "mater dicti Hanrici" had obtained the latter[1326]. Richer records that Friedrich claimed the county during his father’s lifetime[1327]. "Henricus comes de Salmis et…Ferricus filius eiusdem" confirmed their obligations to the bishop of Metz by charter dated Mar 1234[1328]. "Ferris de Salmes" confirmed that, if he acquired "le chastel de Blanmont" by settlement with "mon coisin Henri de Salme", he would hold it as a fief from "mon…cosin Jaique evesques de Metz", by charter dated 13 Jan 1246 (O.S.)[1329]. “Ferris sires de Blancmont” received “le chastel et le bourc de Blancmont” from Jacques Bishop of Metz by charter dated Nov 1247[1330]. Mathieu II Duke of Lorraine granted “la moitié dou ban de Donjevin...et la moitié de Laffenborne” to “Ferri de Salmes et signor de Blancmont mon coisin”, noting that he could request the grant of the other half of the properties to “son neveu Hanri de Salmes”, by charter dated Sep 1248[1331]. Richer, in his report of the continued attacks on Senone carried out by "comitem Henricum…filius eius Fridericus miles" [Friedrich von Salm Comte de Blâmont] noted that the attacks continued "usque ad tempora Henrici dicti de Salmis nepotis dicti Friderici" [i.e. after 1246], recording that Friedrich was eventually captured by "nepote suo domino de Raiposteim quia exigebat partem hereditatis", after which Friedrich was enfeoffed with “castrum de Albo-monte” by the bishop of Metz to whom he was forced to sell and was obliged to share “comitatus de Albo-monte” with “fortem Hanricum scilicet nepotem suum”, Heinrich taking “Morehenges et Viviers et castrum Piere-percie et Salmis”, while Friedrich retained “Album-montem et superius castrum de Danubrio” (the latter only after the death of Heinrich’s mother) but survived few years and died young [surprising comment considering Friedrich’s age] (“paucis supervixit annis, et iuvenis mortuus est”)[1332]. The primary source which confirms Friedrich’s date of death has not been identified, although the date of the second marriage of his widow suggests that he died in [1255].

This possible first marriage depends on the reliability and interpretation of the source quoted below which indicates that Eustache [III] de Conflans married “la fille au seigneur de Blammont”. If that person was the same as Eustache’s known wife, who was first named in May 1250, she could only have been Friedrich’s daughter by an earlier otherwise unrecorded marriage. The chronology of Friedrich’s life does suggest the likelihood of an earlier marriage, although as noted below another possible interpretation of the source is that the daughter of the seigneur de Blâmont was Eustache’s second wife. Grosdidier de Matons names “Jeanne de Dombasle” as Friedrich/Ferry’s first wife[1333]. Her family origin is confirmed by the charter dated Oct 1225 under which Mathieu II Duke of Lorraine, in the presence of “Ferry de Blancmont à raison de sa femme, dame de Dombasle”, agreed their use of land “sise au côteau de Crévic” for 7 years[1334]. The primary source which confirms her name has not been identified.

m secondly (before 25 Sep 1242) as her first husband, JEANNE de Bar, daughter of HENRI II Comte de Bar & his wife Philippa de Dreux [Capet] (-31 Aug, before Aug 1299, bur Orval). The primary source which confirms the date of her first marriage has not been identified. She married secondly (before 22 Jul 1257) Louis [V] de Looz Comte de Chiny. Her parentage and two marriages are confirmed by the late 13th century genealogy by Balduinus de Avennis which records that "dominam de Albo-monte, germanam comitis Barrensis Theobaldi, relictam domini Henrici de Salmis [error]" married "Ludovicus [comes] de Chini"[1335]. "Lois fis le comte de Los et de Chinei, sires d’Estables et…Jehenne sa femme dame de Blanmont" confirmed the donations to the abbey of Orval made by "Arnous cuens de Los et de Chinei notre pere et Jehenne sa femme comtesse…notre mere" by charter dated Feb 1258[1336]. "Louis comte de Chiny et Jeanne d’Anis de Blamont comtesse du même lieu" founded the priory of Sussy in the county of Chiny by charter dated 1286[1337]. The necrology of Orval records the death “pridie Kal Sep” of “Joanna comitissa de Chiney et domina de Blanmont” and her donation of “mansum in Ivodio”[1338].

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

1. [[JEANNE] (-after Feb 1264). The genealogy of the Conflans family, written in [1350], records that “Eustasses...sire de Mareuil et connestable de Champagne” married “la fille au seigneur de Blammont”[1339]. The only person who has yet been identified as “seigneur de Blammont” at that time is Friedrich von Salm Seigneur de Blâmont. If he was Eustache’s father-in-law, there appear to be two possibilities. Firstly, assuming that she was the same person as Eustache’s known wife Jeanne, the latter’s mention in 1250 indicates that she could only have been born from Friedrich’s first marriage. The second possibility is that Eustache married “la fille au seigneur de Blammont” after Jeanne died, this second wife being Friedrich’s daughter by his second wife Jeanne de Bar. It should be noted that, according to Europäische Stammtafeln, Eustache [III] married “Jeanne de Plancy Dame de ½ Gondrecourt (/1250), Victs de Troyes (/1263), d. of Guy de Plancy[1340]. Gondrecourt is named in the charter dated May 1250, quoted below, and the vicomté de Troyes in the charter dated Feb 1263. The primary source which confirms the Plancy connection has not been identified, although Guy de Plancy is named (not as Jeanne’s father) in the document dated Jul 1250, also quoted below. “Eustaches de Conflans chevaliers” exchanged “la terre que j’ai...par droit de Iehanne ma femme à Gondricourt” with Thibaut IV Comte de Champagne for land “entre Colomiers en Brie et Chaalons outre Marne” by charter dated May 1250[1341]. By charter dated Jul 1250, “Eustaces sires de Coflans” agreed payments for the same to be made within one year, noting that he would not involve “l’Euesque de Toul...ne au signor de Risnel”, and that after one year “je ne voldroie respondre et se Geraviler que je tenoie en fié dou signor de Joinvile qui soloit alues auttans mon signor Guion de Planci et cil Guiz en fist fié”[1342]. “Eustache de Conflans mareschaus de Champaigne...et Iehanne sa feme” requested Thibaut V Comte de Champagne, King of Navarre to confirm an exchange of property with the chapter of Troyes by charter dated Feb 1263 (O.S.)[1343]. The chapter of Troyes Saint-Etienne gave rights of “Vert [la-Gravelle]” to “Eustache de Conflans maréchal de Champagne et à Jeanne sa femme” in exchange for “[leurs] droits...sur la vicomté de Troyes” by charter dated Feb 1263 (O.S.)[1344]. m [as his first/second wife,] EUSTACHE [III] de Conflans Seigneur de Mareuil, son of EUSTACHE [II] Seigneur de Conflans & his wife Helvide de Thourotte (-after Sep 1293).]

Friedrich & his second wife had [two] children:

2. HENRI [I] de Blâmont (-1331, after 10 Nov). Seigneur de Blâmont. A charter dated Jan 1266 (O.S.?) records “Enneco comte de Linanges” swearing homage to the duke of Lorraine, except against “Blamont (...Henri de) chevalier son gendre”[1345]. “Henris sires de Blanmont et Cunegons sa fame” confirmed the donation made to “nostre...ganre Jehans de Bourgongne fiz à noble baron Hugon conte de Bourgongne qui fu” and an exchange of property, naming “nostre fille Marguerite fame audit Jehan”, by charter dated May 1296[1346]. The Chronique Artésienne records “mesires des Blans-Mons” among those captured at the battle of Furnes 20 Aug 1297[1347]. “Henry Sire de Blamont et de Deneuvre et Conegons sa femme” founded the church of Deneuvre, naming “Henry et...Amelrin freres lous dous fils”, by charter dated Dec 1301[1348]. “Henris chevaliers sires de Blanmont” sold “la séneschaucié de Lorraingne” to “nostre...cousin Mahieu fil à...Thiébaut...duc et marchis de Lorraingne” by charter dated 14 Feb 1309 (O.S.)[1349]. In his testament dated Jul 1311, “Hanris sires de Blanmont” divided his territories between “mes enfans Hanri et Emekin” as well as the territories “de part dame Conegon ma feme lor mère, dont Deus ait l’ame”, and bequeathed property to “ma fille Aleis d’Assois...ma fille madame Jehanne...Clémence ma fille...Marguerite femme dou dit Hanri”[1350]. Henri Seigneur de Blâmont “avec Henry et Eyme ses fils” authorised certain Lombards to establish a money-lending business in 1317[1351]. A charter dated Sep 1324 records a peace treaty between “Ferris duc de Lorheigne” and “Henris sires de Blanmont...monsignour Ealme de Blammont son fil”[1352]. Henri Seigneur de Blâmont acknowledged a debt owed to “Henry d’Herbéviller” by charter dated 10 Nov 1331[1353]. He is recorded as deceased in the Jan 1332 (N.S.) document cited below under his grandson Henri [III], so presumably died in late 1331 (at an advanced age). m (before Jan 1267) KUNIGUNDE von Leiningen, daughter of EMICH [IV] Graf von Leiningen & his first wife Elisabeth --- (-[May 1302/Jul 1311], bur Saint-Sauveur, Vosges). Her marriage can be dated from the following: a charter dated Jan 1266 (O.S.?) records “Enneco comte de Linanges” swearing homage to the duke of Lorraine, except against “Blamont (...Henri de) chevalier son gendre”[1354]. "Emecho comes de Liningen, Catharina uxor sua, Otto comes de Nassauwe, Agnes uxor sua, Johannes comes de Spanheim, Alheidis uxor sua, Henricus dominus de Blanckenberg et Cunigundis uxor sua, sororii et sorores mei Emechonis comitis" confirmed the sale of property "in villa Liestorff" to Kloster Wadegoz made by "felicis recordationis dominus Emecho quondam comes de Liningen" by charter dated Jan 1288[1355]. “Henris sires de Blanmont et Cunegons sa fame” confirmed the donation made to “nostre...ganre Jehans de Bourgongne fiz à noble baron Hugon conte de Bourgongne qui fu” and an exchange of property, naming “nostre fille Marguerite fame audit Jehan”, by charter dated May 1296[1356]. “Henry Sire de Blamont et de Deneuvre et Conegons sa femme” founded the church of Deneuvre, naming “Henry et...Amelrin freres lous dous fils”, by charter dated Dec 1301[1357].

Henri Seigneur de Blâmont “avec Henry et Eyme ses fils” authorised certain Lombards to establish a money-lending business in 1317[1362]. Henri [II] was deceased when “Geoffroy de Dombrot” declared that “Henry sire de Blâmont” had granted him revenue, “à la requête de Jean de Montfaucon à cause de Marguerite sœur de celui-ci et femme de monsignour Hanri de Blanmont qui fuit”, by charter dated 2 Jan 1321 (presumably O.S.)[1363]. m (before Jul 1311) MARGUERITE de Montfaucon, daughter of GAUTHIER [II] Seigneur de Montfaucon & his [first wife ---/second wife Mathilde de la Marche] (-after 1327).

He is last named in a document dated [end Jun/early Jul] 1342, his successor being named Seigneur de Blâmont in a charter dated Jan 1343[1368].

ii) THIBAUT [I] de Blâmont (-[Mar/Jun] 1376). He succeeded Henri [III] as Seigneur de Blâmont. Martimprey de Romécourt notes the absence of any document proving that Thibaut [I] was Henri [III]’s brother but comments that “il nous semble impossible de concevoir le moindre doute à cet égard”, especially bearing in mind that his first cousin Amé was still living at that time[1369].

- see below.

iii) CUNEGONDE de Blâmont . Guillaume records her parentage and marriage (no source cited)[1370]. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified, although it is indicated by the following document. “Gauthier de Ray et Cunégonde de Blamont sa femme” founded the chapter of Ray by charter dated 1341[1371]. m GAUTHIER Seigneur de Ray, son of AIMON Seigneur de Ray & his wife --- (-Jun 1357).

A charter dated 1345 records an “Obligation d’Emelin seigr de Blâmont envers Collar de Gronay...”, with “Simon comte de Salm” named as guarantor[1378]. Martimprey de Romécourt says “tout porte à croire” that Amé was killed at Crécy 26 Aug 1346 “aux côtés de son suzerain le duc Raoul”[1379]. He died before the following document: “Henry de Faucogney chevalier et Jehanne de Blâmont sa femme” declared that “feu leur frère, sire Eymes de Blâmont” had pledged “la ville de Buryville à François de Herbéviller”, by charter dated 2 Oct 1348[1380].

c) MARGUERITE de Blâmont (-3 Sep [1310]). The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified. The existence of two daughters named Marguerite has not been explained. The necrology of Beaupré records the death 3 Sep of “dame Marguerite femme messire Fridric de Brémoncourt chevalier”[1390]. m (before Jan 1299) as his first wife, FERRY de Lorraine Seigneur de Plombières, de Romont et de Brémoncourt, son of FERRY III Duke of Lorraine & his wife Marguerite de Champagne Infanta de Navarra (-after 8 Jun 1317).

The testament of “Connigons dame de Blanmont”, dated May 1302, named “messires de Blanmont mes maris.,..ma...fille Marguerite dame de Montagu”, and bequeathed property to “Fedri mon nepveu...ma fille Marguerite...ma fille de Grancé...”[1392].

This document appears to relate to the widow of Jean de Bourgogne (died [1301/03]). However, the references to “monseigneur Henri seigneur de Berlaimont son aïeul” and “Jean Comte de Salines son frère” do not appear consistent with the information in the source dated May 1296 which is quoted above. This suggests some as yet unidentified problem with the reconstruction of her family as presented here.] m firstly (before May 1296) JEAN de Bourgogne Seigneur de Montaigu [en Bourgogne], son of HUGUES de Bourgogne Seigneur de Salins, Comte Palatin de Bourgogne & his wife Alix von Andechs-Merano Ctss Palatine de Bourgogne (-[1301/03]). m secondly ([1304/05]) as his second wife, THIEBAUD Comte de Ferrette, son of ULRIC [II] Comte de Ferrette [Pfirt] & his second wife Agnes de Vergy (-Basel [4 Dec 1310/7 Feb 1311]).

The testament of “Connigons dame de Blanmont”, dated May 1302, named “messires de Blanmont mes maris.,..ma...fille Marguerite dame de Montagu”, and bequeathed property to “Fedri mon nepveu...ma fille Marguerite...ma fille de Grancé...”[1394]. A document dated 1329 records “Obligation de dame Isabelle de Albomonte dame de Grancey et d’Eudes son fils damoiseau seigneur de Grancey” mortgaging “leur seigneurie de Selongey” to “deux marchands lombards à Pontailler”[1395]. m (before May 1302) EUDES [V] Seigneur de Grancey, son of GUILLAUME Seigneur de Grancey & his wife Isabelle de Tilchâtel (-[1325/28]).

f) ALIX de Blâmont . In his testament dated Jul 1311, “Hanris sires de Blanmont” bequeathed property to “ma fille Aleis d’Assois...ma fille madame Jehanne...Clémence ma fille...”[1396]. m (before Jul 1311) ---.

g) JEANNE de Blâmont (-after Dec 1343). In his testament dated Jul 1311, “Hanris sires de Blanmont” bequeathed property to “ma fille Aleis d’Assois...ma fille madame Jehanne...Clémence ma fille...”[1397]. The necrology of Beaupré records the anniversary in Jul of “Mesire Burnigque sgr de Riste chevalier et Jeanne de Blâmont sa femme”[1398]. m BURNIQUE de Ristes, son of --- (-[Jul] 1343, bur Beaupré).

3. [THOMAS de Blâmont (-22 Jun 1305). According to Europäische Stammtafeln, he was the son of Friedrich von Salm Seigneur de Blâmont[1402]. This is presumably based on Calmet who also records this parentage[1403]. The primary source which confirms his precise parentage has not been identified. Bishop of Verdun 1303. The Annales Sancti Vitoni Virdunensis record the death in 1302 of “Iohannes de Richeri-curte episcopus Virdunensis” and the succession of “Thomas de Albo-monte”, who died in 1305[1404].]

The primary source which confirms the parentage of Thibaut de Blâmont has not been identified. The chronology suggests that he could have been a son or grandson of Friedrich Seigneur de Blâmont. The following family group is not mentioned by Martimprey de Romécourt in his otherwise detailed review of the Blâmont family.

1. THIBAUT de Blâmont (-[30 Nov 1313/May 1318]). Seigneur de Blâmont. “Blamont (Thibaut de) chevalier...comme seigneur du fief” confirmed donations made to Sénone 30 Nov 1313 by “Bertrand fils de feu Simon de Vaugier chevalier et par Bertrand et Jacques fils de Huart de Denneuvre chevalier”[1405]. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Thibaut’s wife has not been identified. Thibaut & his wife had two children:

a) HENRI de Blâmont . “Blamont (Henri de) et Thierry de Blamont son frere chevaliers” divided the succession of “feu Thibaut Sire de Blamont leur pere” dated May 1318[1406].

b) THIBAUT de Blâmont (-after May 1318). “Blamont (Henri de) et Thierry de Blamont son frere chevaliers” divided the succession of “feu Thibaut Sire de Blamont leur pere” dated May 1318[1407]. m (1309) [as her second husband,] --- [von Veringen], daughter of --- (-after 1309). A document records that in 1309 “Theobaldus comes de Blamont uxorem comitissam de Veringen habet”[1408]. “Comitissam de Veringen”, without specifying her name, suggests that no further precision was needed as she was the only person who bore that title at the time. If that is correct, the bride could have been the widow of Heinrich Graf von Veringen (died [29 Nov 1307/17 Nov 1310]), although not necessarily his known wife Ida who is not recorded after 1284 and could have predeceased her husband. Alternatively, “comitissam de Veringen” could (assuming that Heinrich died a widower) indicate Heinrich’s only marriageable daughter: the charter dated 25 Nov 1311 quoted in the document WÜRTTEMBERG, which names “Graue Wolfrat und Graue Hainrich kirchherre ze Veringen, Graue Hainriches suene von Veringen und ihre Schwester Katherine”[1409], suggests that Katharina was Heinrich’s only living daughter although the date is inconsistent with her earlier marriage in 1309. Another curiosity is the comital title accorded to “Theobaldus” in the 1309 entry, bearing in mind that Blämont was a seigneurie not a county.

THIBAUT [I] de Blâmont, son of HENRI [II] de Blâmont & his wife Marguerite de Montfaucon (-[Mar/Jun] 1376). He succeeded Henri [III] as Seigneur de Blâmont. Martimprey de Romécourt notes the absence of any document proving that Thibaut [I] was Henri [III]’s brother but comments that “il nous semble impossible de concevoir le moindre doute à cet égard”, especially bearing in mind that his first cousin Amé was still living at that time[1410]. Jean de Luxembourg King of Bohemia granted payments for services to “Thybaut sir de Blancmont nostre cousin” by charter dated 31 Jan 1342 (O.S./N.S.?)[1411]. He is last named in a charter dated Mar 1376, his son Henri being named as seigneur de Blâmont in Jun 1376[1412].

m ([21 Jul 1346]) MARGUERITE d’Oricourt Dame de Savoyeux, daughter of GUILLAUME de Vaire Seigneur d’Oricourt & his wife ---. “Willaume de Varre sr. d’Oriocourt chevalier” confirmed owing property to “Marguerite dame de Saualuy sa fille...pour cause de son mariage” by charter dated 21 Jul 1346[1413].

Thibaut [I] & his wife had seven children:

1. HENRI [IV] de Blâmont ([28 Apr 1421/5 Jan 1422], bur Blâmont). Henri was named in a charter dated 1363 which records his father’s donation to “Habran de Landres écuyer”[1414]. He succeeded his father as Seigneur de Blâmont. [“Hanris dis Prévoust et Adémars de Blanmont frères et enfans de monsignour Thiébaulx seigneur de Blanmont que fuit” donated property by charter dated 1377[1415].

The Obituaire de Saint-Mansuy records the death "1 Apr" of "Oldericus comes", "3 Sep" of "Ulricus comites", "7 Sep" of "Urricus comes", and "16 Sep" of "Oldericus comes"[1471], one of which probably relates to Olry son of Comte Haimon, the death of the latter also being recorded in the same source.

m [MATHILDE] de Reynel, daughter of OLRY Comte de Reynel & his wife ---.

I. SEIGNEURS de BRIEY

Briey, now the commune of Val-de-Briey, is situated about 15 kilometres south-west of Thionville and a similar distance north-west of Metz, in the present-day French département of Meurthe-et-Moselle, arrondissement Briey. Calmet provides a description of Briey in his Notice de la Lorraine[1509]. Godron discussed the various spellings and pronunciations of the name Briey[1510].

Six brothers, parents not identified, whose order of birth is uncertain.

1. ALBERT de Briey (-after 19 Mar 1115). The Gesta Episcoporum Virdunensium records that “decanus Metensis ecclesiæ Richerus” succeeded Dietrich as bishop of Verdun and that “fratres suos Albertum, Bezelinum et Iohannem viros nobilissimos” swore homage and gave hostages[1511]. Avoué de Briey. The Gesta Episcoporum Virdunensium records that “marchisæ Mathildis, relictæ Godefridi Gibbosi” granted “Briacensem...potestatem” to “Albertus frater episcopi” and that he requested imperial confirmation[1512]. “Albertus advocatus Briacensis” donated his rights “in alodio de Lubei” to Saint-Pierremont, with the consent of “filiis meis Theodorico de Aspero-Monte et Acelino et Odouino”, as also did “Johannes de Theodonis-Villa nepos eiusdem Alberti”, as well as “Johannes Briacensis” who acquired his share from “domino Arnulpho fratre supradicti Alberti et archidiacone et custode Metensis ecclesie” who had earlier acquired it from “domina Ossima nepte eiusdem Alberti...laudantibus hic filio eius Hugone et marito suo Theodorico de Marcei”, by charter dated to [1110][1513]. "...Albertus de Brié..." witnessed the 19 Mar 1114 (O.S.?) charter under which Thierry Duke of Lorraine confirmed a donation to Saint-Dié made by "Hugonis de Distorchio"[1514]. m IDA, daughter of --- (-after 1096). Lainé records that she was named with her husband in 1096[1515]. Albert & his wife had four children:

a) THIERRY de Briey (-[1128]). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 1103, confirming the foundation of Aspremont Notre-Dame, which records that "tempore Henrici imperatoris IV Gobertus quidam nobilis dominus Asperi-montis, pater dominæ Hadevidis" married his daughter to "Theodorico filio Alberti Briacensis"[1516].

The name order in this charter, and the separate consents required by Ossime’s son and husband, suggests that her son may have been born from an earlier marriage. [m firstly ---.] m [secondly] THIERRY de Marcey, son of ---.

c) ANSELIN de Briey (-after 1110]). “Albertus advocatus Briacensis” donated his rights “in alodio de Lubei” to Saint-Pierremont, with the consent of “filiis meis Theodorico de Aspero-Monte et Acelino et Odouino”, by charter dated to [1110][1519].

The Annales Sancti Vitoni Virdunensis record the death in 1088 of “Theodericus episcopus Virdunensis” and the succession of “Richerus”[1528]. The Annales Sancti Vitoni Virdunensis record the death in 1107 of “Richerus episcopus” and the succession of “Richardus”[1529].

Two brothers. It is not certain that their description in the May 1096 charter cited below as “de familia de Briey” meant that they were related to the above family or, if they were, that they were brothers of the six brothers named above. Maybe they were knights living at the castle who played a prominent role in the area.

1. CONSTANTIN de Briey (-after May 1096). “Mathilda comitissa” founded Pierremont by charter dated May 1096, subscribed by “...Johannes de Theodonis-villa, frater Alberti de Briey...Constantinus et Rainaldus de familia de Briey”[1532]. Lainé names his son and daughter[1533].

Lainé names his two supposed sons[1536].

J. SEIGNEURS de COMMERCY

The seigneurie de Commercy, located on the left bank of the river Meuse, was bound to the north by the seigneurie d’Aspremont, to the south by the lands of the bishopric of Toul, and to the west by the county of Bar[1537]. It lay within the territory of the earlier pagus Bedensis[1538]. Commercy was first recorded as shared by Richwin and by Renaud Comte de Bar et de Mousson (see BAR)[1539]. This joint holding of the seigneurie suggests a common ancestry, and indeed the name Richwin appears in the possible paternal ancestry of the Comtes de Bar (Richwin Comte de Charpeigne). Renaud Comte de Bar granted Commercy to his daughter Stéphanie/Etiennette who married Hugues [III] Seigneur de Broyes et de Châteauvillain (see CHAMPAGNE NOBILITY), ancestor of Gaucher [I] Seigneur de Commercy whose family is shown below. The charters quoted below show that collateral descendants of Richwin continued to play a role in Commercy until the mid- to late-12th century, parallel with the Commercy seigneurial family descended from the seigneurs de Broyes.

Three siblings, parents not identified:

1. RICHWIN de Commercy (-after 1119). [Seigneur] de Commercy. The Papal legate approved the donations to Gorze made by the family of “Aspero Monte”, including the donation made in 1103 by “Ricardus cardinalis episcopus” which was witnessed by “Theodericus dominus castri, Simon de Domno Apro, Petrus senior de Mirwalt, Ricuinus de Commarceio, Walterus de Sorceio, Guido de Conflens...”, by charter dated [1138/53][1540]. Richwin donated half of the castle of Commercy, except for one quarter held “en gage de son frère Hugues”, to the church of Toul, naming “sa femme...Riquicia”, by charter dated 1119[1541]. m RIQUICIA, daughter of ---. Richwin donated half of the castle of Commercy to the church of Toul, naming “sa femme...Riquicia”, by charter dated 1119[1542].

2. HUGUES (-after 1119). Richwin donated half of the castle of Commercy, except for one quarter held “en gage de son frère Hugues”, to the church of Toul by charter dated 1119[1543].

3. HASTICA . François-Vivès names “Hastica” as sister of Richwin de Commercy, adding that she married “Thierry d’Ambacourt châtelain de Bar” who later claimed to succeed to Commercy[1544]. m THIERRY d’Ambacourt Châtelain de Bar, son of --- (-before 24 Jun 1145). “...Theodoricus castellanus et filius eius Gerardus...” subscribed the charter dated 1127 under which the counts of Bar relinquished rights of investiture at Saint-Mihiel[1545]. Thierry & his wife had [three children]:

1. RENAUD Comte de Bar, son of THIERRY de Mousson & his wife Ermentrude de Bourgogne [Comté] ([1075/77]-on ship in the Mediterranean 25 Feb or 10 Mar 1149). Seigneur de Commercy: as "comte Renaud", he sold the fortress of Commercy to the abbé de Saint-Mihiel in 1106[1546]. Etienne Bishop of Metz donated “prædium in feodo Commarciensi...Bernaicuria...sylvam etiam Commarciensem...Foreid” to Riéval “per manum comitis Rainaldi præfati Commarciensis feodi possessoris...collaudante filiisque eius Hugone et Rainaldo” by undated charter, witnessed by “Gerardo castellano...”[1547]. Henri Bishop of Toul confirmed the donation of property “molendinum in Commarciensi” made by “comite...Renaldo et ab utroque eius filio Ugone et Renaldo, a dominoque Stephano Metensi episcopo” by charter dated 9 Mar 1141 (O.S.?)[1548].

GAUCHER [I] de Commercy, son of SIMON [I] de Broyes Seigneur de Broyes et de Commercy & his wife Nicole Dame de Montrivel et de Châteauvillain du Jura (-[1244/48]). An undated charter records the donation to Balerne abbey made by “senem Waucherium” and later confirmed by “Humberto et...a genere suo...usque ad dominam Nicolam cujus sponsus...Simon de Comarceio...eiusque heredes Hugo, Waucherius”[1549]. "Simon dominus de Commarci" donated property to Recluz, with the consent of "uxor mea Nichole et filii mei Hugo et Galcherus iam milites, Rainaldus, et Hugo clericus, et filia mea Agnes", by charter dated 1202[1550].

The charter dated Dec 1248 quoted below specifies that Gaucher was deceased at the time.

m AGNES, daughter of --- (-after Dec 1248). "A […Angnes] domina de Commerceio relicta G condam domini de Commerceio, Galcherus et Henricus filii eiusdem" swore homage to the bishop of Metz by charter dated Dec 1248[1555].

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

1. SIMON [II] de Commercy (-before Dec 1248). “Galterius dominus de Commercy...filios meos Simonem et Guillelmum milites” swore homage to “dominum meum Joannem comitem Burgundiæ et dominum de Salins” for “Castrum-Villani in Jura et Montem-Revelli” by charter dated late Sep 1240[1556]. He presumably died before Dec 1248, the date of the charter quoted above which names his mother and two younger brothers. m as her first husband, MATHILDE von Saarbrücken, daughter of SIMON III Graf von Saarbrücken & his wife Lorette de Lorraine (-30 Aug 1276, bur Besançon Saint-Etienne). Jean Bishop of Metz confirmed the division of the county of Saarbrücken between "Joffroi mon neveu d’Aspremont et Lorate sa famme fille Simon conte de Salebruche" and "Mahaus et Jehane serors Lorate" by charter dated Apr 1235[1557]. The primary source which confirms her first marriage has not been identified, although it is suggested by the 1251 charter quoted below. She married secondly ([1250]) Amedée Seigneur de Montfaucon, who succeeded as Seigneur de Commercy and as Graf von Saarbrücken. The date of her second marriage is indicated by the following document: Amedée “Seigneur de Montfaucon et de Commercy” sealed a charter dated 1251 under which the chapter of Commercy Saint-Nicolas donated annuel produce to “Aubry chanoine de Broyes”[1558]. Gilles Bishop of Toul notified an agreement between “seignor Ami de monfacon et Mahaut sa fame” and “les anfanz dou premier mari à la dite dame...Simon, Ferri, Jaquemin et Lourete“ relating to “le deuaire sa fame...la voiere dou Nuef Chastel” by charter dated Aug 1257[1559]. "Mechtildis domina Montis Falconis et vallis Colonie" donated property to "patruus noster…Nuhusensis præpositus" by charter dated 8 Jan 1260[1560]. Her parentage and second marriage are indicated by a charter dated 8 Oct 1271 which relates that Saarbrücken was the fief of the bishop of Metz, recording that "bone memorie Jacobus quondam Metensis episcopus" (son of Ferry II Duke of Lorraine) had enfeoffed "Lorettam relictam…neptem propriam" and that, on the death of the latter, "germane dicte Lorete…primogenita domina Mahout domina Montisfalconis" inherited the castle[1561]. Simon [II] & his wife had four children:

d) LAURETTE de Commercy (-5 Oct 1276, bur Salins, l'église des Carmélites). Gilles Bishop of Toul notified an agreement between “seignor Ami de monfacon et Mahaut sa fame” and “les anfanz dou premier mari à la dite dame...Simon, Ferri, Jaquemin et Lourete“ relating to “le deuaire sa fame...la voiere dou Nuef Chastel” by charter dated Aug 1257[1568]. “Jehans cuens de Borgoigne et sire de Salins” confirmed homage by “Ameys de Monbeliard sires de Monfacon, nostre nies” to “la contesse Lore, nostre fome”, by charter dated Jan 1261[1569]. Her parentage is confirmed by a charter dated 15 Dec 1266 under which “Jehans cuens de Bourgoigne et sires de Salins” granted “la signorie…de Cernans” to “la contesse Lore nostre fame…fille mons. Symon de Commercy”[1570]. The necrology of the Cordeliers de Salins records the death “III Non Oct” 1285 of “domina Lora comitissa Cabilonensis apud nos sepulta”[1571]. m (1258) as his third wife, JEAN de Chalon Seigneur des Salins, "l'Antique/le Sage", son of ETIENNE [III] Comte d’Auxonne & his first wife Béatrice Ctss de Chalon (1190-30 Aug 1267, bur Abbaye de Bourguignon-lès-la Charité, Haunte-Saône).

2. GUILLAUME de Commercy (-after Sep 1240). “Galterius dominus de Commercy...filios meos Simonem et Guillelmum milites” swore homage to “dominum meum Joannem comitem Burgundiæ et dominum de Salins” for “Castrum-Villani in Jura et Montem-Revelli” by charter dated late Sep 1240[1572]. Guillaume presumably died before Dec 1248, the date of the charter quoted above which names his mother and two [younger] brothers.

3. GAUCHER [II] de Commercy (-before 26 Oct 1308). "A […Angnes] domina de Commerceio relicta G condam domini de Commerceio, Galcherus et Henricus filii eiusdem" swore homage to the bishop of Metz by charter dated Dec 1248[1573]. “Messires Wachiers li juenes, chevaliers, fil mons.

Jehan de Chalon signour d’Arlay” for “le chastel de Chatelvilain” by charter dated 10 Apr 1293[1574]. Seigneur du Châteauvillain-du-Jura et de Montrivel. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Gaucher’s wife has not been identified. Gaucher [II] & his wife had children:

a) AGNES de Commercy (-after May 1308). Her parentage is confirmed by the following document: “Bietrix dame de Roiffey famme ca en arriers monseignour Estienne seignour de Roiffey” confirmed the dowry given by “ses...freres messires Walchier de Commercy caennarriers sires de Montrivel” to “Agnes dame de Nuefchastel sa fille...de Thiebaut seignour de Nuefchastel mary de la dicte dame Agnès” by undated charter[1575]. Père Anselme names her “Jeanne de Commercy, fille puînée de Gaucher de Broyes, seigneur de Commercy, et d’Elizabeth sa femme”[1576]. From a chronological point of view, it seems unlikely that Thiébaut’s wife was the daughter of Gaucher [I] Seigneur de Commercy whose death is dated to [1244/49] (see above). Richard records that Thiébaut married “Agnès fille de Walchier de Commercy seigneur de Château-Vilain et de Montrivel”, dating the marriage to [1270/80], although he cites no source on which he bases this information[1577]. “Agnès de Chatelvilain, dame de L’Isle et...Thiébaut sui fils chevaliers sires de Nuefchastel” confirmed privileges granted to L’Isle-sur-le-Doubs by “de bonne mémoire Messire Thiébaut jadis grans sires du devandit Nuefchastel” by charter dated May 1308[1578]. m THIEBAUT [IV] Seigneur de Neuchâtel [en Bourgogne], son of RICHARD de Neuchâtel [en Bourgogne] & his wife Marguerite [de Montfaucon] (-before May 1308).

5. BEATRIX de Commercy . Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the following document: “Bietrix dame de Roiffey famme ca en arriers monseignour Estienne seignour de Roiffey” confirmed the dowry given by “ses...freres messires Walchier de Commercy caennarriers sires de Montrivel” to “Agnes dame de Nuefchastel sa fille...de Thiebaut seignour de Nuefchastel mary de la dicte dame Agnès” by undated charter[1580]. m ETIENNE Seigneur de Ruffey, son of ---.

6. [ALIX de Commercy ([1230]-after Jun 1297). Her family origin and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 15 Oct 1274 quoted below, but the primary source which identifies her parents precisely has not been identified. Her parentage is also indicated by the testament of [her daughter] “Guillemette fille de Gaultier d’Andelot chev. et femme de Jn d’Oiselet “Monte avium” damoiseau” which appointed “son père et Gauthier de Chateauvillain son oncle” as executors[1581]. The chronology of the Coligny family suggests that her birth can be estimated very approximately to [1230], which indicates that Alix could have been a younger child of Gaucher [I] Seigneur de Commercy. “Alix de Commercis domina de Andelot”, in accordance with the last wishes of “quondam filii mei Humberti...defuncti”, donated rights “in castro de Andelos et in castellania” and all the succession of “Galteri quondam mariti mei domini quondam de Andelos et Humberti filii mei nuper defuncti”, to “Stephano de Coliniaco filio quondam nobilis viri Amedei quondam domini Coliniaci”, unless “Agnetem nurum meam” gave birth to “filium, filiamue...a filio nostro Humberto”, by charter dated 15 Oct 1274[1582]. Similar charters are dated 19 Jul 1276 and 4 Dec 1283[1583].

JOHANN von Saarbrücken, son of JOHANN [I] Graf von Saarbrücken [Commercy] & his first wife Mathilde d'Aspremont (-1344). “Jehans contes de Sarrebruches et sires de Comarcey, Gille de Bar sa compaigne et espouse contesse…et Symos de Sarrebruches chlr sigr dou dit Comarcey” certified 20 May 1352 having seen a charter dated 2 Feb 1324 under which “Iehans contes de Sarrebruches et sires de Comarcey, Mahault dasprmont sa compaigne et espouse contesse...et Iehans leurs fils” granted privileges to Commercy[1585]. Seigneur de Commercy. Pope John XXII granted indulgence to "Iohanni nato Iohannis comitis de Saraponte militi" and “nobili mulieri Aelydi eius uxori Met. dioc.”, dated 16 Apr 1331[1586].

m (before 16 Apr 1331) ALIX de Joinville Dame de Venisy, de Chailley et de Briquenay, daughter of GUILLAUME de Joinville Seigneur de Briquenay & his wife Beatrix de Brienne Dame de Venisy et de Turny (-after 13 Feb [1356/57]). Pope John XXII granted indulgence to "Iohanni nato Iohannis comitis de Saraponte militi" and “nobili mulieri Aelydi eius uxori Met. dioc.”, dated 16 Apr 1331[1587]. The primary source which confirms her parentage has not been identified. However, it is indicated by her inheritance of Briquenay (from her supposed father) and Venisy (from her supposed mother). A charter dated 28 Apr 1348 records a dispute between "les Hospitaliers de Coulours" and “Alix de Joinville dame de Venizy et de Briquenay”[1588]. "Alix de Joinville dame de Venizy et de Briquenay" appointed “son fils Simon de Sarrebrück s. de Commercy” as her proxy to negotiate a settlement with “les Hospitaliers de Coulours” by charter dated 30 Dec 1348[1589]. This document shows that her son Simon had already reached the age of majority, so must have been at least 18 years old. If that is correct, the charter dated 16 Apr 1331 quoted above must refer to Johann’s wife Alix de Joinville. Dumont records that, after the death of her oldest son Simon, his mother and his brothers founded the “Chapelle de la Vente” by charter dated 13 Feb 1356 (O.S.?) in accordance with his last wishes[1590].

Johann/Jean & his wife had five children:

1. SIMON de Commercy (-[1355/13 Feb 1357]). Seigneur de Commercy. "Alix de Joinville dame de Venizy et de Briquenay" appointed “son fils Simon de Sarrebrück s. de Commercy” as her proxy to negotiate a settlement with “les Hospitaliers de Coulours” by charter dated 30 Dec 1348[1591]. Dumont records that, after the death of her oldest son Simon, his mother and his brothers founded the “Chapelle de la Vente” by charter dated 13 Feb 1356 (O.S.?) in accordance with his last wishes[1592].

2. JEAN [III] de Commercy (-after 28 Apr 1384). Seigneur de Commercy. “Huards de Ruppes chevalier” notified his claim against “Jehan de Sarrebruche signour de Commarcey et monsignour Hanry son freire” for part of Commercy which he claimed belonged to “ma...espouse Jehanne de Vienne de droit ad cause de succession de madame Jehanne de Sarrebruche dame de Bainville et fille monsignour Simon jadiz conte de Sarrebruche, qui morut sires de Commarcey, sa grand meire, qui fuit” by charter dated 4 Aug 1360[1593]. m (27 Mar 1358) as her first husband, MARIE [Isabelle] d’Arcelles, daughter of --- d’Arcelles & his wife Lore de Joinville (-after 8 Mar 1397). Europäische Stammtafeln names “Lore de Joinville dame de Méry-sur-Seine [en partie]” as mother of “Marie d’Arcelles dame de Méry-sur-Seine [en partie]” who married firstly Jean [III] Seigneur de Commercy and secondly Charles de Châtillon[1594]. No indication has been found of the primary source on which this information is based. She married secondly as his second wife, Charles de Châtillon Seigneur de Châtillon. Duchesne records that Charles de Châtillon swore homage to Pierre Bishop of Troyes for “la terre d’Estrelles, ou Straelles, à cause d’Ysabeau son espouse”, in the presence of “Guillaume du Plaissier et de Dreux de Mello, chevaliers”, by charter dated 1387[1595]. The explanation for the names Isabelle/Marie has not been found. Duchesne then records seeing a charter dated 1371 under which “Amé de Joinville chevalier seigneur de Mery sur Seine et d’Estrelles” swore homage to the bishop of Troyes for “la mesme terre d’Estrelles” and suggests that Marie/Isabelle “d’Arcelles” could have been his daughter, assuming that “Arcelles” and “Estrelles” refer to the same place[1596]. Jean [III] & his wife had children:

a) SIMON de Commercy (-18 Jan 1396, bur Nicosia). Seigneur de Commercy. "Dominus Simon de Salesbrussia miles dominus temporalis de Commercy” swore homage to the Bishop of Troyes “ad causam...Isabellis de Castellione dominæ de dicta Anglura” by charter dated 4 Feb 1385 (O.S.?)[1597]. m ([23 Jun 1384/4 Feb 1386]) as her second husband, ISABELLE de Châtillon, widow of OGIER [IV] Seigneur d’Anglure, daughter of JEAN de Châtillon Seigneur de Châtillon & his second wife Isabelle de Montmorency (-13 Jan 1413).

L. SEIGNEURS de CONFLANS [en-JARNISY]

Vannérus indicates that this family was based at Conflans-en-Jarnisy [département Meurthe-et-Moselle, arrondissement Briey], which lies about 20 kilometres west of Metz[1606].

1. GUY de Conflans, son of --- (-1103 or after). m HILDEGARDE de Reynel, daughter of THIBAUT [I] Comte de Reynel & his [first] wife Ermentrude de Roucy/Ramerupt. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Hugonem et Hildegardem, matrem Ebali de Buxi et de Montforti" as children of "Theobaldo comiti de Rimnello" & his wife Ermentrude[1607]. The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names "Eldiardis, mater Ebali de Buxi et Bertranni comitis, qui de filia imperatoris Hispanie habuit liberos utriusque sexus" as daughter of "Theobaldus comes de Rinnel"[1608]. Guy & his wife had [seven or more] children:

a) EBLES . The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Ebali de Buxi et de Montforti" as son of "Theobaldo comiti de Rimnello" & his wife Hildegarde[1609]. The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names "Ebali de Buxi et Bertranni comitis" as sons of "Eldiardis [filia Theobaldi comitis de Rinnel]"[1610]. Europäische Stammtafeln names “Ebles Comte de Montfort, Seigneur de Franzault” when recording his daughter[1611]. “Franzault” has not yet been identified. m ---. The name of Ebles's wife is not known. Ebles & his wife had one child:

i) ELISABETH (-after 1152). The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis refers to the daughter of "Ebalus de Buxi" as wife of "Guidoni de Iunvilla, fratri comitis Tullensis", specifying that they had children of both sexes[1612]. Guy [I] de Jonvelle confirmed donations to Clairefontaine, with the consent of “son épouse Elisabeth...son fils Bertrand et...sa belle-fille Comitissa femme de Bertrand”, by undated charter[1613]. Europäische Stammtafeln names “Elisabeth de Montfort dite la Rousse”, daughter of “Ebles Comte de Montfort, Seigneur de Franzault”, as wife of Guy [I][1614]. m GUY [I] Seigneur de Jonvelle, son of [HUMBERT “le Roux” de Fouvent dit de Jonvelle & his wife ---] (-after 1160).

b) BERTRAND . The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names "Ebali de Buxi et Bertranni comitis" as sons of "Eldiardis [filia Theobaldi comitis de Rinnel]"[1615]. m ---, daughter of --- of Spain. The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis refers to the wife of "Bertranni comitis" as "filia imperatoris Hispanie", specifying that they had children of both sexes[1616]. Bertrand & his wife had --- children:

i) children. The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis refers to the wife of "Bertranni comitis" as "filia imperatoris Hispanie", specifying that they had children of both sexes[1617].

c) ROBERT de Conflans (-[1156/60]). The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names "Robertus de Conflens, Wilelmus quoque agnomine Rofroidus" as brothers of "Ebali de Buxi et Bertranni comitis"[1618]. “...Robertus de Confluentis...” witnessed the charter dated 1156 under which Adalbero Bishop of Verdun confirmed property to Châtillon abbey[1619]. If the Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis is correctly dated to [1162/63], the reference to Robert’s son as “eiusdem loci dominum” (see below) indicates that his father was deceased at the time. This is confirmed by the [1152/60] charter cited below. m ALEIDIS, daughter of --- (-[after 1179?]). Pope Alexander III confirmed the possessions of St Paul, including “sedile molendini...Harios” donated by “Haildis mater Ebali de Conflens”, with the consent of “filiorum suorum Ebali...Bertranni...”, by bull dated 1179[1620]. It is not known whether the donor was still alive at the date of this confirmation, but this confirmation is placed in the document towards the end of a long list of other donations which suggests that it may have been among the more recent. Robert & his wife had three children:

i) EBLES de Conflans (-after 1175). Seigneur de Conflans: the Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names "Ebalum videlicet eiusdem loci dominum et Bartholomeum clericum" as sons of "Robertus de Conflens"[1621]. Etienne Bishop of Metz confirmed the donation of “alodium suum de Brani villa” made to Gorze “per manus...domni Ebali de Confluentia” by “Alexander puer de Jusseio, filius Alexander” by charter dated to [1152/60][1622]. Arnold Archbishop of Trier confirmed property of Orval at Villancy, including property donated “par manum...Eblonis de Conflanz”, by charter dated 1175[1623]. Pope Alexander III confirmed the possessions of St Paul, including “sedile molendini...Harios” donated by “Haildis mater Ebali de Conflens”, with the consent of “filiorum suorum Ebali...Bertranni...”, by bull dated 1179[1624]. m ---. The name of Ebles’s wife is not known. Ebles & his wife had [one child]:

(a) [daughter . Vannérus suggests that Heinrich [III] von Esch married the heiress of Conflans-en-Jarnisy, noting the connections between his grandson and Conflans, presumably the daughter of Ebles Seigneur de Conflans[1625]. The introduction of the name Robert (Ebles’s father) into the Esch family appears to support this reasoning of Vannérus. On the other hand, in another passage Vannérus suggests that Heinrich [III] was named “de Ham” in a charter dated 1192 charter because of his marriage, and speculates at length about the location of the “Ham” in question[1626]. One possibility is of course that Heinrich married twice, the chronology (the death of his son in the early 1260s and his daughter-in-law after 1271) suggesting that the supposed Conflans heiress would have been his second wife. It is also possible that Heinrich’s [second] wife was a more remote relative of Ebles (a descendant of his brother Bertrand?). Another completely different possibility is that Ebles, lacking a direct heir, sold his interest in Conflans to the Esch family. Until more information emerges, it is suggested that the suggestions about Heinrich’s wife/wives should be treated with caution. m [secondly?,] HEINRICH [III] Herr von Esch, son of BARTHOLOMÄUS Herr von Esch & his wife --- (-before Oct 1220).]

ii) BARTHELEMY de Conflans . The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names "Ebalum videlicet eiusdem loci dominum et Bartholomeum clericum" as sons of "Robertus de Conflens"[1627]. Canon at Trier: a charter dated to [1197] attested that “concanonico Bartholomaeo de Conflans” had donated his rights “super ecclesia de Jamangne” [Jamoigne] to Trier[1628].

iii) BERTRAND de Conflans . Pope Alexander III confirmed the possessions of St Paul, including “sedile molendini...Harios” donated by “Haildis mater Ebali de Conflens”, with the consent of “filiorum suorum Ebali...Bertranni...”, by bull dated 1179[1629].

d) GUILLAUME [Rofroidus] . The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names "Robertus de Conflens, Wilelmus quoque agnomine Rofroidus" as brothers of "Ebali de Buxi et Bertranni comitis"[1630].

e) BEATRIX . The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names "Beatricem et alias" as sisters of "Ebali de Buxi et Bertranni comitis", specifying that Beatrix married firstly "Hugone de Monte-cornet" and secondly "Clarembaldum de Foro"[1631]. m firstly HUGUES de Montcornet, son of ---. m secondly CLAREMBAUD de Faure, son of ---. Beatrix & her first husband had two children:

i) BARTHELEMY de Montcornet . The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names "Bartholomeum Belvacensem episcopum et Nicholaum militem de Templo" as sons of "Hugone de Monte-cornet" & his wife Beatrix[1632]. Bishop of Beauvais 1161. The Continuatio of Sigebert's Chronica from Anchin records the death in 1161 of "Samson Remorum archiepiscopus”, the succession of “Henricus Belvacensis episcopus frater Ludowici regis Francorum”, and the succession as bishop of Beauvais of “Bartholomeus Remensis æcclesie archidiaconus”[1633]. The Annales Sancti Dionysii Remenses record the appointment in 1162 of "Bartholomaeus Remensis archidiaconus" as "Belvacensis episcopus"[1634]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records in 1162 that "Bartholomeus natus de Montcornet in Ardenna" succeeded Henri "in episcopatu Belvacensi"[1635].

ii) NICHOLAS de Montcornet . The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names "Bartholomeum Belvacensem episcopum et Nicholaum militem de Templo" as sons of "Hugone de Monte-cornet" & his wife Beatrix[1636]. Knight Templar.

Beatrix & her second husband had four children:

f) daughters . The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names "Beatricem et alias" as sisters of "Ebali de Buxi et Bertranni comitis"[1642].

M. SEIGNEURS de DOMBASLE

Dombasle, now called Dombasle-sur-Meurthe, is located on the eastern bank of the river Meurthe about 15 kilometres south-east of Nancy, in the present-day French département of Meurthe-et-Moselle, arrondissement Nancy, canton Saint-Nicolas-de-Port. The Dombasle family was first mentioned in primary sources in the early 12th century in relation to the foundation of the priory of Saint-Don. An unbroken line of descent from this family to the later generations shown below has not been traced. As noted below, Henry [II] de Dombasle was called “frère du comte de Salm” in a 1235 charter. A direct family relationship with the family of the Grafen von Salm (see LUXEMBOURG) has not been established. One difficulty is chronological. In 1235, Heinrich [III] was Graf von Salm but, considering his marriage “before 1189”, it is impossible that his brother was still alive in 1293. Heinrich [IV] succeeded his grandfather in 1246 but was still a minor in 1235, so is unlikely to have been described as “comte de Salm” even if he shared the title during his grandfather’s lifetime. However, an indirect family relationship is possible through Heinrich [III]’s younger son Friedrich Seigneur de Blâmont who claimed Salm during his father’s lifetime and could therefore have been described as “comte de Salm”. In addition, Friedrich’s first wife was recorded in a charter dated 1225 as “dame de Dombasle”. The most likely explanation for the 1235 charter is therefore that “frère” was used in the broader sense to indicate brother-in-law. Another interesting aspect of the Dombasle family is their relationship with Renier [III] Seigneur de Bourbonne. As noted below, Renier [III] called Henri de Dombasle his “frère” in 1255 and 1277. There appear to be two possibilities: the brothers could be sons of the same mother, by different marriages, or they could have been brothers-in-law, the one married to the other’s sister or both married to two sisters. Faget de Casteljau suggested that Elisabeth, widow of Foulques Seigneur de Bourbonne, married Henri de Dombasle as her second husband, assuming that Foulques and Elisabeth were parents of Renier [III][1643]. That is one possibility, although there are indications that Foulques died without direct heirs as explained under Bourbonne. As so many different permutations could explain their “fraternal” relationship, it is fruitless to speculate on what might be the precise family relationship between Renier and Henri. Renier and Henri shared the “ban de Crévic”, a property of the abbey of Remiremont. Crévic is located adjacent to Dombasle to the north-east.

1. VIDRIC de Dombasle (-after 1122). “Widricus de domna Basula cum filio suo Theodorico et Ida...matrona cum Haymone filio” founded the priory of Saint-Don, recording donations made by “prædicti viri Widricus et Theodoricus filius eius, Ida, Haymo, Rodulfus et Ermentrudis hæredes eius, Gerardus de Vitrimont assensu uxoris suæ Leuchardis et Herimanni filii sui”, by charter dated 1122[1644]. Presumably “...Gerardus de Vitrimont assensu uxoris suæ Leuchardis et Herimanni filii sui” was in some way related to the Dombasle family but the precise relationship has not been traced. m ---. The name of Vidric’s wife is not known. Vidric & his wife had one child:

a) THIERRY de Dombasle (-after 1147). “Widricus de domna Basula cum filio suo Theodorico...” founded the priory of Saint-Don, recording donations made by “prædicti viri Widricus et Theodoricus filius eius...” by charter dated 1122[1645]. A charter dated 1147 confirmed the foundation of Saint-Don, subscribed by “...Theoderici et Petri eius filii de Domna-basula...Warini de Domna-basula et Drogonis fratris eius”[1646]. Calmet says that Thierry de Dombasle, founder of Saint-Don, was “ayeul de viri illustrissimi Vidric et bisayeul de Thierry de Dombasle”[1647]. The primary sources which confirm this descent have not been identified. m ---. The name of Thierry’s wife is not known. Thierry & his wife had one child:

i) PIERRE de Dombasle (-after 1147). A charter dated 1147 confirmed the foundation of Saint-Don, subscribed by “...Theoderici et Petri eius filii de Domna-basula...”[1648].

2. DREUX de Dombasle (-before 1122). The joint foundation by their families of Saint-Don suggests that Vidric and Dreux de Dombasle were brothers or first cousins. In the 1147 charter quoted below, he is named as deceased when Saint-Don was founded in 1122. m IDA, daughter of ---. “Widricus de domna Basula cum filio suo Theodorico et Ida...matrona cum Haymone filio” founded the priory of Saint-Don, recording donations made by “prædicti viri Widricus et Theodoricus filius eius, Ida, Haymo, Rodulfus et Ermentrudis hæredes eius, Gerardus de Vitrimont assensu uxoris suæ Leuchardis et Herimanni filii sui” and by “Haymo” for the soul of “Rodulfi fratris sui”, by charter dated 1122[1649].

i) WARIN de Dombasle (-after 1147). A charter dated 1147 confirmed the foundation of Saint-Don and records other donations made by “...Haimo pro anima fratris sui Rodulfi, Matildis etiam soror eius, cum Warino filio suo”, subscribed by “...Warini de Domna-basula et Drogonis fratris eius”[1651].

ii) DREUX de Dombasle (-after 1147). A charter dated 1147 confirmed the foundation of Saint-Don, subscribed by “...Warini de Domna-basula et Drogonis fratris eius”[1652].

b) RAOUL de Dombasle (-after 1122). “...Ida...matrona cum Haymone filio” founded the priory of Saint-Don, recording donations made by “...Ida, Haymo, Rodulfus et Ermentrudis hæredes eius...” and by “Haymo” for the soul of “Rodulfi fratris sui”, by charter dated 1122[1653].

1. HENRI [I] de Dombasle (-after 20 Jul 1204). A charter dated 20 Jul 1204 records that Remiremont abbey acquired land “au ban de Crevy” from “Hanry sire de Dombasle”[1658].

Two siblings, maybe children of Henri [I] de Dombasle shown above.

1. [JEANNE] de Dombasle (-before 1242). Grosdidier de Matons names “Jeanne de Dombasle” as first wife of Friedrich/Ferry von Salm Seigneur de Blâmont[1659]. Her family origin is confirmed by the charter dated Oct 1225 under which Mathieu II Duke of Lorraine, in the presence of “Ferry de Blancmont à raison de sa femme, dame de Dombasle”, agreed their use of land “sise au côteau de Crévic” for 7 years[1660]. The primary source which confirms her name has not been identified. m (before Oct 1225) as his first wife, FRIEDRICH von Salm Seigneur de Blâmont, son of HEINRICH [III] Graf von Salm & his wife Jutta [Judith] de Lorraine (-[1255]).

2. HENRI [II] de Dombasle (-1293 or after, bur Toul Dominican church). Calmet notes a charter of Senones abbey dated 1235 which names “Henry de Dombasle frere du comte de Salm”[1661]. Although Heinrich [III] was Graf von Salm in 1235, the chronology of Henri de Dombasle’s life suggests the probability that he was the brother of Graf Heinrich [IV]. If that is correct, the reason for his bearing the same name as his brother is unclear, unless they had different mothers. One possibility is that Henri de Dombasle was illegitimate, maybe the same person as Henri’s illegitimate son who is shown below. His relationship with the Bourbonne family (see CHAMPAGNE NOBILITY) is indicated by the following document: Renier [III] Seigneur de Bourbonne and “[son] frère Henri de Dombasle” shared “par parts égales le ban de Crévic” by charter dated 1255[1662]. The word “frère” could indicate that they shared the same mother, or it could indicate “brother-in-law” which might indicate that the two individuals married sisters (maybe co-heiresses of Dombasle?). The chapter of Remiremont and “Renier de Bourbonne et Henrion de Dombasle, voués du ban de Crévic” settled rights relating to the ban by charter dated 1255[1663]. “Henri de Dombasle” acknowledged allegiance to “Henri de Blâmont” for land “à Anthelupt” by charter dated Feb 1272 (O.S.)[1664]. Renier de Bourbonne sold fiefs held from the duke of Lorraine to “son frère Henri de Dombasle” by charter dated 1277[1665]. The testament of “Henry chevalier sire de Dombale”, dated 1293, chose burial “[aux] frères prêcheurs de Toul”, was sealed by “le duc de Lorraine...le sire de Blâmont”[1666]. m ---. The name of Henri’s wife is not known. Henri [II] & his wife had [four] children:

a) JEAN de Dombasle . The chapter of Remiremont and “Jean, Ferry et Henrias, fils de Henry sire de Dombasle, voués” agreed various matters by charter dated 1305[1667].

b) FERRY de Dombasle . The chapter of Remiremont and “Jean, Ferry et Henrias, fils de Henry sire de Dombasle, voués” agreed various matters by charter dated 1305[1668].

c) HENRI de Dombasle . The chapter of Remiremont and “Jean, Ferry et Henrias, fils de Henry sire de Dombasle, voués” agreed various matters by charter dated 1305[1669].

d) [FELICITE [Laure] [de Dombasle] (-1294). Abbess of Remiremont 1287. Guinot records the election in 1287 of “Felicitas dicta Loretta” as abbess, suggesting that she was “de la maison de Paroye et de Dombasle”[1670]. Her seal reads “Felicitatis de Lorette de Domballus abbat. Romar.”[1671]. Guinot records her death in 1294[1672].]

Calmet records the following details of the later members of his family, without citing the corresponding primary sources[1673]. The primary sources which confirm this information have not been identified.

He presumably died before the 9 Apr 1294 charter cited below in which his son is named “sire...de Parroie”. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of his wife has not been identified. Aubert & his wife had [three] children:

a) ANDRE de Parroye . Abbé Martin records his parentage[1684]. Ferry Duke of Lorraine notified that “sire Andreus de Parroie, chevalier, et Abers, son frère, fils de sire Abert de Parroie” had ceded “tout l’héritage du ban de Mannonvillers” to “sire Jehan de Maingues, chevalier, leur beau-frère” by charter dated 9 Apr 1294[1685]. m POLIE de Pulligny Dame de Savigny, de Florémont, de Hennecourt, de Vergaville, daughter of VARRY de Puligny & his wife Jeanne de Rosières.
