Chapter 1.    ARCHBISHOPS of SENS

 

 

Two brothers:

1.         ANSEGISUS, son of HARDRAD & his wife Witela --- (-[879/83], bur Sens Saint-Pierre).   Gallia Christiana names "Ardradi et Witelæ filius Ansegisus, germanus Walæ Autissiodorensis episcopi..."[1].  The information is confirmed by the Gesta Episcoporum Autisiodorensium quoted below under his brother Wala.  Archbishop of Sens 871.  "Heccardus comes" placed his assets at the disposal of testamentary executors, by undated charter, to be distributed as specified included the following bequests:  various decorative and precious objects to “Richildi…Gerbaldo...Walane episcopo [Wala Bishop of Auxerre]...Raganfrido episcopo [Bishop of Meaux]...Ansegiso archiepiscopo [Archbishop of Sens]...Waltario episcopo [Bishop of Orléans]...[2].  The Senonensis Chronicon of Odorannus records the death in 883 of “Ansegisus...Senonum archiepiscopus” and his burial “in monasterio S. Petri[3]

2.         WALA )Bishop of Auxerre .  "Heccardus comes" placed his assets at the disposal of testamentary executors, by undated charter, to be distributed as specified included the following bequests:  various decorative and precious objects to “Richildi…Gerbaldo...Walane episcopo [Wala Bishop of Auxerre]...Raganfrido episcopo [Bishop of Meaux]...Ansegiso archiepiscopo [Archbishop of Sens]...Waltario episcopo [Bishop of Orléans]...[4].  The Gesta Episcoporum Autisiodorensium records that "Wala episcopus genere Francus, patre Ardrado, matre Witelai, fratre…Anseiso Senonum archiepsicopo" held office for 7 years and 48 days[5]

 

 

1.         EVERARD (-Feb 887).  Archbishop of Sens 884.  The Annales Vedastini record the death in 887 of “Everardus Senonensis episcopus” and the succession of “Waltherus iuvenis[6].  Regino records the death in 888 of “Everhardus...[Senonis] metropolita” and the appointment of “Waltharius nepos Waltharii Aurelianensis urbis episcopi[7]

 

 

Two siblings:

1.         GAUTHIER (-26 Feb 891)Bishop of Orléans 869.  According to Gallia Christiana, Gauthier [I] Archbishop of Sens was the nephew of Gauthier Bishop of Orléans[8], but the primary source which confirms that this is correct has not yet been identified. 

2.         --- .  m ---.  Children: 

a)         GAUTHIER [I] (-15 Nov 923, bur Sens Saint-Pierre).  According to Gallia Christiana, Gauthier [I] Archbishop of Sens was the nephew of Gauthier Bishop of Orléans[9], but the primary source which confirms that this is correct has not yet been identified.  Archbishop of Sens 887.  The Annales Vedastini record the death in 887 of “Everardus Senonensis episcopus” and the succession of “Waltherus iuvenis[10].  Regino records the death in 888 of “Everhardus...[Senonis] metropolita” and the appointment of “Waltharius nepos Waltharii Aurelianensis urbis episcopi[11].  The Chronicon archiepiscoporum Senonensium records that "Galterus I…majoris ecclesie Senonensis canonicus" was elected archbishop of Sens "mense martio"[12].  The Annales Sanctæ Columbæ Senonensis record that "Gualterio" was installed as archbishop "IV Non Apr" after the death "Kal Feb" in 886 of "Evrardo episcopo"[13].  The Annales Sanctæ Columbæ Senonensis record that "Gualterio archiepiscopo Senonum" anointed "Rothbertus princeps" in opposition to "Karolum" in 922[14].  The Annales Sanctæ Columbæ Senonensis record that "Gualterio archiepiscopo Senonum" anointed "Rhodulfus" in 922 and died "XVII Kal Dec" in the same year[15]

b)         [--- .]  Maurice Chaume identifies Aubry [I] Vicomte d´Orléans (see the document CENTRAL FRANCE NOBILITY) as the father of Gauthier [II] Archbishop of Sens, assuming therefore that he was the brother of Geoffroy and Betton who are shown above[16].  However, if the term “avunculus” was used in its strict sense of maternal uncle in the source cited below, Gauthier’s mother was the sister of his predecessor.  m ---.  One child: 

i)          GAUTHIER [II] (-928, bur Sens Saint-Pierre)Archbishop of Sens 924.  The Chronicon archiepiscoporum Senonensium names "Galterus II, nepos prioris" and records his death in 928, and his burial "in cœnobio B. Petri juxta avunculum suum"[17]

 

 

1.         ADALDUS (-25 Sep 932).  Archbishop of Sens 927.  Gallia Christiana records his death "VII Kal Oct" 932[18]

 

 

1.         GUILLAUME [I] (-14 Aug 938, bur Sens Saint-Pierre).  Archbishop of Sens 932.  Gallia Christiana records his death "XIX Kal Sep" 938 and burial “in monasterio S. Petri[19]

 

 

1.         GERLAN (-5 Aug 954, bur Auxerre Saint-Germain).  Gallia Christiana records that Gerlan was "parentum prosapia mediocris" and had previously been “monacho S. Germani Autissiodorensis[20].  Monk at Auxerre Saint-Germain.  Archbishop of Sens 939.  Gallia Christiana records his death "Non Aug" 954 and burial “in basilica S. Germani Autissiodorensis[21]

 

 

1.         HILDEMAN (-5 Aug 959, bur Sens Saint-Pierre).  Monk at Saint-Denis.  Archbishop of Sens 954.  Gallia Christiana records his death "Non Aug" 959 and burial “in basilica sancti Petri[22]

 

 

1.         ARCHAMBAUD, son of [ROBERT de Vermandois Comte de Troyes & his wife Adelais [Wera] de Chalon] (-29 Aug 968, bur Sens Saint-Pierre-le-Vif)Archbishop of Sens 959.  The Chronicon Sancti Petri Vivi Senonensis records that “Archembaldus” was installed as archbishop “V Kal Jul”, in 959 from the context[23].  According to Gallia Christiana[24], Archambaud Archbishop of Sens was the son of Robert Comte de Troyes and his wife Adelais de Bourgogne.  This may be based on the Chronicon Sancti Petri Vivi Senonensis which records the death “in…mense Augusto” (in 968 from the context) of “pater ipsius Rotbertus…vir nobilis”, referring to archbishop Archambaud[25], assuming that this refers to Robert Comte de Troyes whose activities are recorded earlier in the same source.  However, the chronology is unfavourable for this parentage to be correct.  The Chronicon Sancti Petri Vivi Senonensis records the death “IV Kal Sep” (in 968 from the context) of “Archembaldus Archiepiscopus…adhuc iuvenis” and his burial “in basilica beati Petri[26].  Although stated to be “iuvenis” when he died, he must have been a young child when installed as archbishop if the estimated dates of marriage and birth of the members of Comte Robert´s family are correct.  His extreme youth at the time of his appointment is not commented on in the sources so far consulted.  In any case, the name Archambaud is not otherwise found in the family of the comtes de Vermandois, which also suggests that the suggested parentage might not be correct. 

 

 

1.         ANASTASIUS, son of --- Seigneur de "Pruvinum" & his wife (-8 Jan 977, bur Sens Saint-Pierre).  Gallia Christiana records "Anastasius, al. Anstasius" as son of “Augeriaci dominum apud Pruvinum[27]Archbishop of Sens 969.  Gallia Christiana records his death "VI Id Jan" 977 and burial “in ecclesia S. Petri[28]

 

 

1.         --- m --- de Sens, daughter of FROMOND [I] Vicomte de Sens & his wife ---.  Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the Chronico Sancti Petri Vivi Senonensis which names "domnus Sewinus magnæ nobilitatis vir ex sorore nepos ipsius Rainaldi"[29].  Three children: 

a)         SEWIN (-17 Oct 999, bur Sens Saint-Pierre-le-Vif, transferred 1278 to Sens Cathedral).  The Chronico Sancti Petri Vivi Senonensis names "domnus Sewinus magnæ nobilitatis vir ex sorore nepos ipsius Rainaldi"[30]Archbishop of Sens 978.  The Historia Francorum Senonensis records the death “XV Kal Nov” of “Seguinus metropolitanus episcopus[31].  The Chronicon Sancti Petri Vivi Senonensis records the death “999 XVI Kal Nov” of “Seuvinus Archiepiscopus” and his burial in “Monasterii Sancti Petri[32]

b)         ISEMBARD (-13 Apr 978).  The Chronicon Sancti Petri Vivi Senonensis records the death “Id Apr” of “Isembardus miles, frater ipsius Archiepiscopi”, in the same year as his brother was installed as archbishop[33]

c)         daughter .  Her parentage is confirmed by the Chronicon Sancti Petri Vivi Senonensis which names “Abbatum Rainardum suum nepotem ex sorore…monachum beatæ Columbæ” in reference to Archbishop Sewin[34]m ---.  Two children: 

i)          RENARD (-1015).  The Chronicon Sancti Petri Vivi Senonensis names “Abbatum Rainardum suum nepotem ex sorore…monachum beatæ Columbæ” when recording that Archbishop Sewin appointed him as abbot and to oversee the restoration of “Cœnobium beati Petri[35].  Another passage in the Chronicon names “Abbas Rainardus…nepos eiusdem archiepiscopi” when recording that he restored “claustrum sancti Petri quod Archembaldus destruxerat”, starting the work in the same year as the death of Lothaire King of France (986)[36].  It is not entirely clear from the sentence whether “eiusdem archiepiscopi” refers to Archbishop Sewin (who is named in the previous sentence) or to his predecessor Archbishop Archambaud (who is named in the same sentence, but not as “archiepiscopus”).  It appears more likely that Renaud was nepos only of Archbishop Sewin, as the possible relationship between the abbot and Archambaud is not referred to elsewhere in the text.  The Chronicon Sancti Petri Vivi Senonensis records the death in 1015 of “Rainardus Abbas Monasterii S. Petri Vivi[37]

ii)         [daughter] .  m ---.  One child: 

(a)       THIERRY (-Tours 27 Jan [1016/24, bur Tours Saint-Michel)Bishop of Orléans .  The Chronicon Sancti Petri Vivi Senonensis records that “Theodericus Episcopus Aurelianensis” resigned his bishopric, dated to [1016/24] from the context, retired to “Senonas in ecclesia B. Petri” where he had been “nutritus” during the abbacy of “Rainardi Abbatis sui avunculi”, and died “ad castrum Tornodorense…VI Kal Feb” and was buried “in basilica sancti Michaelis Archangeli[38]

 

 

1.         LEOTHERIC (-26 Jun 1032, bur Sens Saint-Pierre).  Archbishop of Sens 1000.  The Historia Francorum Senonensis records the death “XV Kal Nov” of “Seguinus metropolitanus episcopus”, an interregnum of one year, followed by the appointment of “donnum Leothericum nobilissimis ortum natalibus, tunc archidiaconum” although opposed by “plurimi clerici”, following which “Frotmundus comes filius Rainoldi” unsuccessfuly proposed “filium [suum] clericum...Brunonem[39].  “Lethericus Senonum Archiepiscopus...” subscribed the charter dated to [1008] under which Robert II King of France confirmed donations to Saint-Denis[40]Gallia Christiana records his death "VI Kal Jul" 1032 and burial “ad S. Petri[41]

 

 

1.         GILDUIN de Joigny, son of GEOFFROY de Joigny & his wife Alix de Sens (-after 3 Oct 1049)Archbishop of Sens 1032.  “Gaufridus comes” renounced rights over the village of Migennes which “domnus Gaufridus pater meus” had appropriated, in favour of the monastery of Notre-Dame et de Saint-Julien d´Auxerre at the request of “matris meæ Adhelaidis” and with the consent of “fratrum meorum Gilduini…archiepiscopi Senonensis et Rainardi”, by charter dated 1 Mar 1042[42].  He donated property in Gâtinais to the abbey of Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire, in the presence of his father Geoffroy, by charter dated Nov 1035[43].  He was deposed as archbishop for simony in 1049 by the council of Reims[44]

 

 

1.         MAINARD, son of MAINARD & his wife --- (-Mar 1062, bur Sens Saint-Pierre-le-Vif)Bishop of Troyes 1034.  Archbishop of Sens 1052.  The Chronicon Sancti Petri Vivi Senonensis records that “Mainardus Trecacensis Episcopus” was installed as archbishop after Gelduin was deposed from the archbishopric after 18 years[45].  The Chronicon Sancti Petri Vivi Senonensis records the death in 1062 of “Mainardus Archiepiscopus” after 12 years, three months and eight days in office, and his burial “iuxta patrem suum Mainardum et Dainbertum Vicecomitem fratrem suum…in capitulo sancti Petri[46]

No proof has been found that Daimbert Archbishop of Sens was related to the family of the Vicomtes de Sens.  However, his name suggests a possible connection as well as his appointment to the archiepiscopal see previously held by Mainard de Sens (see above). 

 

1.         DAIMBERT, son of --- (-28 Nov 1122, bur Sens Saint-Pierre).  Provost and thesaurarius of Sens.  Archbishop of Sens 1097.  Gallia Christiana records his death "IV Kal Dec" 1122 and burial “in capitulo S. Petri[48]

Three brothers: 

1.         HUGUES, son of GERARD [de Narbonne] & his wife Agnes --- (-3 Feb 1168, bur Sens Saint-Pierre).  Gallia Christiana names "Hugo filius...Girardi de Narbonne et Agnetis, et germanus Guillelmi archidiaconi, tum præpositi Senonensis et postea episcopi Autissiodorensis, ac Hervæi Senonensis præpositi"[51].  Canon of Sens Saint-Bernard.  Archbishop of Sens 1143.  Gallia Christiana records his death "III Non Feb" 1168 and his burial “in ecclesia S.

2.         GUILLAUME (-27 Feb 1181)Gallia Christiana names "Hugo filius...Girardi de Narbonne et Agnetis, et germanus Guillelmi archidiaconi, tum præpositi Senonensis et postea episcopi Autissiodorensis, ac Hervæi Senonensis præpositi"[53]Bishop of Auxerre 1153.  Gallia Christiana records his death "III Kal Mar" 1181 “in Mariano monasterio[54]

3.         HERVEGallia Christiana names "Hugo filius...Girardi de Narbonne et Agnetis, et germanus Guillelmi archidiaconi, tum præpositi Senonensis et postea episcopi Autissiodorensis, ac Hervæi Senonensis præpositi"[55].  Provost of Sens. 

 

 

1.         GUILLAUME de Blois, son of THIBAUT IV Comte de Blois & his wife Mathilde von Sponheim [Carinthia]  (-Laon 7 Sep 1202).  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Henricum comitem Trecensem palatinum…Theobaldum comitem Blesenem…Stephanum comitem de Sancerre…et Guillelmus" as the four sons of "comes Campanie Theobaldus", specifying that Guillaume was archbishop of Sens, later archbishop of Reims, "ad quem magister Petrus Comestor scripsit Scolasticum Hystoriam"[56].  William of Tyre names him and his father[57]Bishop of Chartres 1164.  Archbishop of Sens 1168.  Archbishop of Reims 1176.  Robert of Torigny records that "Guillermus frater comitis Thebaldi archiepiscopus Senonensis et episcopus Carnotensis" was transferred to the "archiepiscopum Remensem" in 1177[58].  The Continuatio Aquicinctina of Sigebert's Chronica records in 1176 that “Willelmus Senonensis archiepiscopus, frater Elizabeth regine Francorum” was transferred “de Senonensi ecclesia in Remensem ecclesiam[59].  Cardinal.  The Annales Sancti Nicasii Remenses record the death "apud Laudunum vigilia navitatis beate Marie" of "Willelmus…Remensis archiepiscopus…regis Francorum Philippi avunculus"[60].  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the death "VII Id Oct" 1203 of “Remensis archiepiscopus Guilelmus regis avunculus et comitum Campanie patruus” after holding office for 26 years[61]

 

 

1.         GUY de Seignelay, son of AVALON [II] Seigneur de Seignelay & his second wife Agnes --- ([1128/32?]-22 Dec 1193, bur Sens Cathedral).  Follow his hyperlink for discussion about his parentage.  Archbishop Guy has been studied most recently by Jenni Chandler to whom I am grateful for sharing the results of her research[62].  The life of Guillaume [de Seignelay] Bishop of Auxerre records “Guillermus de territorio Autissiodorensi, castro Silligniaco, patre Buchardo fratre Deimberti, domino ejusdem castri...” and “pater...frater eius Guido, archiepiscopus Senonensis” and “avunculus [an example of the term being used in the sense of “patruus”] ejus archiepiscopus[63].  If his mother has been correctly identified, Guy’s birth would be estimated to [1128/32] (if his father’s second marriage is correctly dated as shown in the document BURGUNDY DUCHY-AUXERRE), in which case he would have been only 12/15 years old when (as a Seignelay) he was first named as a monk at Pontigny: “...Guido de Siliniaco...monachi Pontiniacenses...” witnessed the 1144 charter under which Hugues Bishop of Auxerre notifies the confirmation of donations to Pontigny[64].  “Galterius Calvus, Guido de Siliniaco, Galterius Buxsacré, monachi Pontiniacenses...” witnessed the charter dated [31 Mar 1146/24 Mar 1147] under which “Holdigerius de Autisiodoro…” donated property to Pontigny[65].  Archdeacon of Sens: “...Guido de Saliniaco archidiaconus Senonensis...” witnessed the charter dated to [25 Mar 1164/24 Mar 1165] under which Hugues Archbishop of Sens notified that “Salo de Boliaco et uxor eius Aimelina et filii eius Milo et Guillelmus et Gilduinus et Ermengardis et Alpazia filiæ eius” confirmed rights of Pontigny in property exchanged[66]Archbishop of Sens: Gallia Christiana records his appointment in 1177[67].  “Guido...Senonensis archiepiscopus” notified that “filius et nepos noster Augalo dominus de Siliniaco” [son of Daimbert [I], see above] had donated “aquam suam de fluvio Hermançon [Armançon]...a ponte de Neiseles [Natiaux] usque ad aquam nostram” to Pontigny with the consent of “Ha--- uxor ipsius Augalonis et eorum filii Daimbertus, Rainaudus, Ferricus et Petrus”, by charter dated to [17 Apr 1188/24 Mar 1189][68].  The life of Hugues de Noyers Bishop of Auxerre records that “Senonensis archiepiscopus Guido, avunculus [meaning father’s uterine half-brother] episcopi” commuted a punishment inflicted on peasants by Bishop Hugues[69]Gallia Christiana records his death “XII Kal Jan” 1193 and his burial “in majori ecclesia[70].  Canon Potel’s necrology of Auxerre Cathedral, compiled in 1761 but based on earlier documents[71], records the death 22 Dec of “Guillelmus (vel Guido] de Nuceriis, ultimus Autissiodorensis ecclesiæ præpositus, deinde Senonensis archiepiscopus [1194], Hugonis, Autissiodorensis episcopi, patruus...[72], the term “patruus” (strictly paternal uncle) further confusing the question of Archbishop Guy’s connection with the Noyers family. 

 

 

Four siblings: 

1.         MICHEL (-28 Nov 1199).  Gallia Christiana names Michel as "Reginaldi Parisiensis episcopi propatruus, germanus...Petri successoris et Mathildis abbatissæ Calensis Michaël", adding that he had been “canonicus S.

1.         ISEMBART (-[1062/63]).  Du Chesne states that "Isembart evesque d´Orleans apres Odolric semble avoir esté son nepueu, c´est à dire fils d´Isembart son frere" adding "a quoy ce nom d´Isembart, le temps et la succession en l´evesché conviennent tres bien"[299].  It does not appear that the relationship is confirmed by any primary source.  The name "Isembart" suggests that he was related to his predecessor on the paternal side of the family.  The possibilities are therefore that Du Chesne was correct in his supposition, or that Bishop Isembart was the son of an otherwise unrecorded sister of Bishop Odolric, or that he was the grandson of a sibling of Bishop Odolric´s father.  Bishop of Orléans 1033. 

2.         [--- .  As noted below, Du Chesne draws the conclusion that Haderic was the son of Hugues [I] "Bardoul" because he called his predecessor Bishop Isembart "oncle".  However, this is evidently not the only possibility as Haderic could have been the son of an otherwise unrecorded brother or sister of Hugues, and an even more remote relation if "oncle" was used in an extended sense.  The absence of members of the Broyes family from the two charters which are quoted below suggests that Bishop Haderic and his two siblings were not the sons of Hugues [I].  m ---.]  [Three children:] 

a)         ISEMBART (-[after 7 Apr 1080]).  "Domnus…Wido cognomento Largus" donated property "predium quod sinjacet Sinaquis inter Pitueris castrum et Dadonis villam" to Cluny to found a church "cunctis Pitueris castri", with the consent of "…domnus Hadericus, qui fuit Aurelianensis episcopus atque Hysimbardus frater eius, domnus Wido abbas…et Gaufredus atque Ulricus nepotes eorum, et Albertus nobilis miles, uxoris filiorumque suorum", by charter dated to [1070], subscribed by "…Haderici clerici qui fuit Aurelianensis episcopus, Hisimbardi fratris eius, domni Guidonis abbatis et Gaufredi militis nepotum Haderici et Isembardi, Gibaldi pueri nepotis eorum, Alberti militis, Gaufredi militis, Isimbardi fratris eius…"[300].  Philippe I King of France confirmed the donation of "Pitueris ecclesiam" to Cluny made by "Hadericus clericus, sanctæ Aurelianensis æcclesiæ filius et frater eius Isembardus miles et nepotes eorum…Cluniacensis monachus…Wido, abbas Sancti Benedicti super Padum, et fratres eius Gaufridus et Oudalricus miles, cum fratre suo Walterio…" by charter dated 7 Apr 1080[301]

b)         HADERIC (-[after 7 Apr 1080]).  La Saussaye records that Haderic succeeded "Ysambardo avunculo suo" as bishop of Orléans[302].  Du Chesne states that "Haderic succeda en l´evesché d´Orleans à Isembart, lequel il qualifie son oncle par l´acte du serment qu´il presta" in 1063, adding that "ce qui me fait presumer qu´il esoit fils de Hugues Bardoul et frere de Barthelemy"[303].  It is also possible that Haderic was the son of an otherwise unrecorded sister of Hugues [I] "Bardoul".  Bishop of Orléans 1063, deposed 1067.  "Domnus…Wido cognomento Largus" donated property "predium quod sinjacet Sinaquis inter Pitueris castrum et Dadonis villam" to Cluny to found a church "cunctis Pitueris castri", with the consent of "…domnus Hadericus, qui fuit Aurelianensis episcopus atque Hysimbardus frater eius, domnus Wido abbas…et Gaufredus atque Ulricus nepotes eorum, et Albertus nobilis miles, uxoris filiorumque suorum", by charter dated to [1070], subscribed by "…Haderici clerici qui fuit Aurelianensis episcopus, Hisimbardi fratris eius, domni Guidonis abbatis et Gaufredi militis nepotum Haderici et Isembardi, Gibaldi pueri nepotis eorum, Alberti militis, Gaufredi militis, Isimbardi fratris eius…"[304].  Philippe I King of France confirmed the donation of "Pitueris ecclesiam" to Cluny made by "Hadericus clericus, sanctæ Aurelianensis æcclesiæ filius et frater eius Isembardus miles et nepotes eorum…Cluniacensis monachus…Wido, abbas Sancti Benedicti super Padum, et fratres eius Gaufridus et Oudalricus miles, cum fratre suo Walterio…" by charter dated 7 Apr 1080[305]

ii)         GEOFFROY (-after 7 Apr 1080).  "Domnus…Wido cognomento Largus" donated property "predium quod sinjacet Sinaquis inter Pitueris castrum et Dadonis villam" to Cluny to found a church "cunctis Pitueris castri", with the consent of "…domnus Hadericus, qui fuit Aurelianensis episcopus atque Hysimbardus frater eius, domnus Wido abbas…et Gaufredus atque Ulricus nepotes eorum, et Albertus nobilis miles, uxoris filiorumque suorum", by charter dated to [1070], subscribed by "…Haderici clerici qui fuit Aurelianensis episcopus, Hisimbardi fratris eius, domni Guidonis abbatis et Gaufredi militis nepotum Haderici et Isembardi, Gibaldi pueri nepotis eorum, Alberti militis, Gaufredi militis, Isimbardi fratris eius…"[308].  Philippe I King of France confirmed the donation of "Pitueris ecclesiam" to Cluny made by "Hadericus clericus, sanctæ Aurelianensis æcclesiæ filius et frater eius Isembardus miles et nepotes eorum…Cluniacensis monachus…Wido, abbas Sancti Benedicti super Padum, et fratres eius Gaufridus et Oudalricus miles, cum fratre suo Walterio…" by charter dated 7 Apr 1080[309].  [The Chronicon Mauriniacense records the foundation of the abbey, dated to [1095], and early donations including the donation of “Echenvillerum” made by “duo nobiles viri Goffredus et Isenbardus frater eius, Pitueris oriundi[310].  It is not known whether this donation relates to the same Geoffroy as is named in the other charters quoted in this section and therefore whether Isembard was the brother of the latter.]

iii)        --- (-before [1070]).  m ---.  One child: 

(a)       GIBALD (-[before 7 Apr 1080]).  "Domnus…Wido cognomento Largus" donated property "predium quod sinjacet Sinaquis inter Pitueris castrum et Dadonis villam" to Cluny to found a church "cunctis Pitueris castri", with the consent of "…domnus Hadericus, qui fuit Aurelianensis episcopus atque Hysimbardus frater eius, domnus Wido abbas…et Gaufredus atque Ulricus nepotes eorum, et Albertus nobilis miles, uxoris filiorumque suorum", by charter dated to [1070], subscribed by "…Haderici clerici qui fuit Aurelianensis episcopus, Hisimbardi fratris eius, domni Guidonis abbatis et Gaufredi militis nepotum Haderici et Isembardi, Gibaldi pueri nepotis eorum, Alberti militis, Gaufredi militis, Isimbardi fratris eius…"[311].  It is probable that Gibald died before 7 Apr 1080, the date of the confirmation charter in which he is not named. 

iv)       ODOLRIC (-after 7 Apr 1080).  Philippe I King of France confirmed the donation of "Pitueris ecclesiam" to Cluny made by "Hadericus clericus, sanctæ Aurelianensis æcclesiæ filius et frater eius Isembardus miles et nepotes eorum…Cluniacensis monachus…Wido, abbas Sancti Benedicti super Padum, et fratres eius Gaufridus et Oudalricus miles, cum fratre suo Walterio…" by charter dated 7 Apr 1080[312]

[Three] siblings, probably closely related to the previous family group as they are all named in the same two charters: 

1.         GUY (-[after 7 Apr 1080]).  "Domnus…Wido cognomento Largus" donated property "predium quod sinjacet Sinaquis inter Pitueris castrum et Dadonis villam" to Cluny to found a church "cunctis Pitueris castri", with the consent of "filii sui uxorisque…domnus Hadericus, qui fuit Aurelianensis episcopus atque Hysimbardus frater eius, domnus Wido abbas…et Gaufredus atque Ulricus nepotes eorum, et Albertus nobilis miles, uxoris filiorumque suorum", by charter dated to [1070], subscribed by "Rainerii Aurelianensis episcopi, Widonis Largi, Tetbaldi filii eius, Ulrici nepotis eorum cum Walterio fratre suo, Haderici clerici qui fuit Aurelianensis episcopus, Hisimbardi fratris eius, domni Guidonis abbatis et Gaufredi militis nepotum Haderici et Isembardi, Gibaldi pueri nepotis eorum, Alberti militis, Gaufredi militis, Isimbardi fratris eius…"[315].  Philippe I King of France confirmed the donation of "Pitueris ecclesiam" to Cluny made by "…et Wido Largus atque filius eius Tetbaldus, necnon etiam Albertus, filius Tescelini Felicis, cum uxore sua Belina et filiis suis" by charter dated 7 Apr 1080, subscribed by "…Alberti filii Tescelini, Walterii de Sancto Salomone, Maynardi nepotis Walterii, Beline uxoris Valterii…"[316]m ---.  The name of Guy´s wife is not known.  Guy & his wife had one child:

2.         [RAINER (-[1070/80])Bishop of Orléans .  "Domnus…Wido cognomento Largus" donated property "predium quod sinjacet Sinaquis inter Pitueris castrum et Dadonis villam" to Cluny to found a church "cunctis Pitueris castri" by charter dated to [1070], subscribed by "Rainerii Aurelianensis episcopi, Widonis Largi, Tetbaldi filii eius, Ulrici nepotis eorum cum Walterio fratre suo…"[319].  The fact that "Ulrici" is described as "nepotis eorum" in this document suggests that he was "nepos" of both the donor and of Rainer Bishop of Orléans, whose names precede his in the subscription list.  He is referred to as "Raynerium Flandrensem" in the confirmation charter dated 7 Apr 1080[320].] 

3.         --- (-before [1070]).  m ---.  Two children:

1.         MANASSES de Garlande, son of GILBERT de Garlande & his wife Eustachie --- (-1185).  Père Anselme names Bishop Manassès as son of Guillaume [II] de Garlande[324].  According to Europäische Stammtafeln, he was the son of Gilbert de Garlande, younger brother of Guillaume [II][325], which is confirmed as correct by the 1166 charter cited below.  Bishop of Orléans 1146.  "Manasses…Aurel[ianensis] ecclesie…minister" confirmed revenue from the churches of Janville and Neufvy to Saint-Martin-des-Champs, for the eternal rest of "avunculi nostri Stephani", by charter dated 1 Jun 1148[326].  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records in 1149 that "episcopus Aurelianensis" was deposed and succeeded by "Hatto Trecensis" on pressure from "comitisse Campaniensis"[327].   “Manasses évêque d’Orléans” declared his donation to “l’église de bonne nouvelle d’Orléans”, made for the souls of “Garlande (...Gillebert son père, d’Eustache sa mère et d’Etienne de) son oncle”, and confirmed a donation made “après le décès d’Eustache sa mère” for her anniversary, by charter dated 1166[328]

1.         PHILIPPE (-1234).  Bishop of Orléans .  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records in 1234 that “Aurelianensis post episcopum Philippum fit episcopus alter Philippus[334]

1.         GAUCELINBishop of Paris .  The Annales Vedastini record the death in 884 of “Engelwino Parisiorum episcopo” and the succession of “Gauzlinus abba[346].  

 

 

1.         RENAUD de Vendôme, son of BOUCHARD [I] "le Vénérable" Comte de Vendôme & his wife Elisabeth [de Corbeil] (-6 Jan 1016).  "Burcardi comitis Vindocinensis, Rainaldi filii" subscribed the charter dated 1 Sep 976 under which "Burchardus comes" consented to the donation by "fidelis meus…Arduinus"[347]The Vita Burchardi Venerabilis Comitis names "Ragenaldo Cancellario filio Comitis"[348]Chancellor of France 988-before 997.  Bishop of Paris 991.  Comte de Vendôme 1005.  "Burchardus…castri comes Curbolii…cum filio meo Rainaldo…Parisensium episcopo" authorised donations to the abbey of Saint-Maur-des-Fossés by charter dated 1 Mar 1006, subscribed by "Roberti vicecomitis, Nanterii et Joscelini eius filiorum…Joscelini Miliduni vicecomites"[349].  A charter dated to [1007/50] records that "Rainaldus episcopus Parisiensis, filius Burchardi Vetuli" cleared the forest of Gâtines and built Ville-l´Evêque, that after his death Foulques "Nerra" Comte d´Anjou granted Ville-l´Evêque to "Hamelino patre Walterii", that "Burchardus…cum matre sua Adela" confirmed all the previous concessions, that after his death his mother associated "Fulconem filium suum" in the county but later sold it to "fratrem suum Goffredum…Andecavorum comitem"[350]

 

 

1.         ALBERIC [Albert], [illegitimate son of BAUDOUIN III joint Count of Flanders & his mistress ---] ([960/62]-1018).  The Gesta Episcoporum Cameracensium name "Azelinus, de Truncinis villa, Balduini Flandrensium comitis de concubina filius", specifying that he was later appointed Bishop of Paris, in the passage recording the succession of "Erluinus" as Bishop of Cambrai (in 995)[351]Bishop of Paris 1016.  According to the Dictionnaire de Biographie Française, "Albert" was provost at Tronchiennes 951-977[352], but this is chronologically impossible assuming that the entry refers to the same person.  If the information about his paternity is correct, Baudouin III is the only count of that name in Flanders who could have been Alberic/Albert´s father.  Another possibility is that the chronicle was in error and that he was the illegitimate half-brother of Baudouin IV Count of Flanders, who was count at the time the text was written but who would have been too young to have been Alberic's father. 

 

 

1.         HUMBERT de Vergy, son of HENRI Seigneur de Vergy & his wife --- [de Bar-sur-Aube] (-22 Nov 1060).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  According to the editor of the compilation of Cluny charters, Humbert was the son of "Valon Seigneur de Vergy et de Judith de Fonvens"[353].  Canon and archdeacon of Langres.  "Imbertus archidiaconus" donated property "in pago Hoscherense…in villa Salaona…" to Cluny for the soul of his unnamed parents by charter dated Apr 1020, subscribed by "Gibaldi pueri nepotis eius…"[354].  "Humbertus archidiaconus…avunculus meus Beraldus archidiaconus" donated property to Cluny by charter dated to [15 Feb 1023] which established the church of Vergy, signed by "Helisabeth soror eius comitissa…cum infantibus suis Gozfredo scilicet atque Rotberto, Gibaldus nepos eius"[355]Seigneur de VergyBishop of Paris [1030].  "Euzelinus Parisiacensium episcopus…Verziacensium vero paterno et hæreditario jure dominus" founded Vergy Saint-Denis by charter dated 1033[356].  The necrology of Flavigny records the death “X Kal Dec” of “Humbertus Parisiorum episcopus” and his donation[357].
