GAUDIN de Clisson (-after 1106). “Gualdin de Clizun, Jestin filius Harscoidi...” subscribed the charter dated 1091 under which “Mathias...Nannetensium consul” donated property to Sainte-Croix de Quimperlé[87]. “...Gaudinus de Clicione, Brientius filius Gauffridi...” subscribed the charter dated 1 May 1104 under which Benoît Bishop of Nantes confirmed concessions for the church of Saint-Florent[88]. Alain IV Duke of Brittany and his wife Ermengarde donated the churches of Nantes Saint-Saturnin and Sainte-Croix to Marmoutier, recording donations made by “Garsirio de Radesio, Mauricius de Ancenisio et Guihenoco filius eius...Gualdino de Clizon...”, by charter dated 1106[89].

2. RAOUL . An undated charter records agreements between the monks of Saint-Serge “apud Chamariacum” and, among others, “Radulfo fratre Gaudini, et Aimerico filio ipsius Gaudini...”[93].

The family relationship, if any, between the following family (seigneurs de la Banaste) and the seigneurs de Clisson (see below) has not been ascertained. Presumably they were cousins.

1. GUILLAUME de Clisson (-after 1212). [It is uncertain whether the following document refers to Guillaume de Clisson Seigneur de la Banaste or to Guilluame [I] who is named below: “Evanum Bordini” donated property to Buzay by charter dated 1186, witnessed by “...Willelmo de Clichon...”[94].] Seigneur de la Banaste: “Willelmus de Clicho dominus Banastie” donated “domum meam...in castro Machacolli” to Coudrie, with the consent of “Aimericus de Clicho filius meus et Willelmus Acairies et uxor sua Petronilla filia mea”, by charter dated 1212[95]. m ---. The name of Guillaume’s wife is not known. Guillaume & his wife had two children:

a) AIMERY de Clisson . “Willelmus de Clicho dominus Banastie” donated “domum meam...in castro Machacolli” to Coudrie, with the consent of “Aimericus de Clicho filius meus et Willelmus Acairies et uxor sua Petronilla filia mea”, by charter dated 1212[96].

b) PETRONILLE de Clisson (-after 1232). “Willelmus de Clicho dominus Banastie” donated “domum meam...in castro Machacolli” to Coudrie, with the consent of “Aimericus de Clicho filius meus et Willelmus Acairies et uxor sua Petronilla filia mea”, by charter dated 1212[97]. “Oliverius Ceoche dominus Banastie” reached agreement with Coudrie concerning “nemore de Lozelerem”, with the consent of “uxoris mee Petronille tunc temporis domine Binastie”, by charter dated 1232[98]. m firstly (before 1212) GUILLAUME Acairies, son of ---. m secondly (before 1232) OLIVIER de Coché, son of --- (-after 1232).

Pétronille & her second husband had one child:

i) MARQUISE [Amicie] de Coché (-1268, bur Villeneuve-lez-Nantes). The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. Dame de Coché. m ([1250]) as his first wife, OLIVIER [I] de Braine Seigneur de Machecoul, son of PIERRE I "Mauclerc" Duke of Brittany & his second wife Nicole --- ([1231/32]-1279, bur Villeneuve-lez-Nantes).

1. GUILLAUME [I] de Clisson ([after 1205?]). [It is uncertain whether the following document refers to Guillaume [I] or to Guillaume de Clisson Seigneur de la Banaste who is named above: “Evanum Bordini” donated property to Buzay by charter dated 1186, witnessed by “...Willelmo de Clichon...”[100].] The Scripta de Feodis of King Philippe II, dated to the early 13th century, record “...Guillelmus de Clicon senex, Guillelmus de Clicone juvenis...” among “milites Britanniæ”[101]. [The following document could refer either to Guillaume [I] or Guillaume [II]: “Arcoildus de Radesii et Willelmus de Clizonio barones...” witnessed the charter dated 1205 under which Guy de Thouars Count of Brittany donated “terram de Botellaria” to Villeneuve[102]. If Guillaume [I], presumably he died soon afterwards and was succeeded by Guillaume [II].] m ---. The name of Guillaume’s wife is not known. Guillaume [I] & his wife had one child:

a) GUILLAUME [II] de Clisson (-[1218/25]). His parentage is indicated by “senex” and “juvenis” in the following entry which suggest that the two persons named were father and son: the Scripta de Feodis of King Philippe II, dated to the early 13th century, record “...Guillelmus de Clicon senex, Guillelmus de Clicone juvenis...” among “milites Britanniæ”[103]. [The following document could refer either to Guillaume [I] or Guillaume [II]: “Arcoildus de Radesii et Willelmus de Clizonio barones...” witnessed the charter dated 1205 under which Guy de Thouars Count of Brittany donated “terram de Botellaria” to Villeneuve[104].] Seigneur de Clisson. Guillaume de Clisson donated “ses droits de jurisdictions et de seigneurie sur l’hébergement Constantin” to Buzay abbey by charter dated 1218[105]. Morvan suggests that this donation was “peut-être pour son voyage”, suggesting that he left on crusade with his father-in-law and that during the course of the journey he died, as no later record of Guillaume has been found[106]. He died before the 1225 charter cited below under his wife. m as her first husband, CONSTANCE du Pont, daughter of EUDES [Eon] du Pont Seigneur de Pontchâteau, de Blain et d’Héric & his wife --- (-after Sep 1241). Morvan records her parentage and marriages, noting that she was her father’s only daughter and “une des plus riches héritières de Bretagne”[107]. Philippe II King of France granted “S. Severum prope Castrum de Vira” to “Andreæ de Vitriaco et R. [...Robertus] Cantori Parisiensi fratri eius”, and revenue “in terra Garrandæ [Guérande]” in exchange for “Langés [Langeais]” which “prædictus Robertus frater dicti Andreæ” held under charter from Arthur I Duke of Brittany (“cartam Arturi habebat”), by charter dated 1206[108], while another charter dated 1206 records that “André seigneur de Vitré et Eon du Pont”, to whom the king had granted “ses droits sur la terre de Guérande”, shared “ladite terre” between themselves[109]. [Her father] “Eudonius dominus de Ponte” donated revenue to Blanche-Couronne, for the souls of “mee et Domine mee sororis Hilarie”, having taken the cross (“in Jerosolymis cruce signatus iter arripiens”), by charter dated 1218[110]. “Constance de Pontchâteau, mère d’un jeune Olivier I^er de Clisson...veuve” donated property to Saint-Gildas-des-Bois by charter dated 1225[111]. She married secondly ([1225/29]) Hervé Seigneur de Blain, indicated by the charter dated 1229 in which “Hervé de Blain” recorded that “Guisan le Bastard” had bought “toute la terre [...dans le village de Luc] qu’Eudes de Pontchâteau” had granted to “Janorgon” from “Guillaume, prêtre, fils de Janargon”[112]. “Constance de Pontchâteau” confirmed that “G. Le Bastard” had donated the property which he had bought “au village de Luc, paroisse de Guéméné” to Blanche-Couronne, by charter dated 1236[113]: Morvant suggests that Constance acted in this document because her husband was deceased at the time[114]. “Constancia domina Ponticastri filia Eudonis de Ponte” donated “tertiam partem…feodum de Altneto” to Blanche-Couronne, for the soul of “Eudonis de Ponte patris mei”, and property “in pratis Eudonis...filii mei...in parochia de Mostrorio” for the soul of “Hervei de Blaing domini mei et patris supradicti Eudonis filii mei” with the approval of “dicti E. filii”, by charter dated 1236[115]. Morvan records Constance’s charter dated Sep 1241 as “[son] dernier acte connu”[116]. Guillaume [II] & his wife had one child:

i) OLIVIER [I] de Clisson (-[1261/1 Mar 1262]). His parentage is corroborated by the 14 Oct 1251 document cited below. Seigneur de Clisson.

- see below.

OLIVIER [I] de Clisson, son of GUILLAUME [II] Seigneur de Clisson & his wife Constance du Pont Dame de Pontchâteau (-[1261/1 Mar 1262]). His parentage is corroborated by the 14 Oct 1251 document cited below. Seigneur de Clisson. “[L]es frères utérins d’Olivier I^er de Clisson, Eudes du Pont et Guillaume de Fresnay, tous deux chevaliers” agreed a mutual assistance pact with Jean I Duke of Brittany against Olivier de Clisson, on condition they retained “leurs terres dans le fief de Pontchâteau qui appartenait alors à Olivier de Clisson en tant que fils aîné de Constance”, by charter dated 14 Oct 1251[117]: Morvan provides background to the dispute[118]. The following document indicates that the dispute in question was settled: a charter dated Oct 1254 records an agreement between "Eudo de Ponte et --- de Fresneio frater eius milites" and “Johannes dux Britannie comes Richemundiæ...cum Oliverio de Cliceon milite fratre nostro” concerning land “quas possidemus in terra de Ponte Castri ratione nostri beneficii”[119]. Nevertheless, Olivier’s dispute with the duke persisted, as shown by an arrêt of the Parlement de Paris (undated) which records that "Comite Britanniæ" disseised “dominus Oliverius de Clicon” from “castro de Clicon” by charter dated Feb 1259[120]. A charter dated 1261 records another settlement of the dispute between “Olivier seignor de Clicon chevalier” and “Jahan Duc de Bretagne”[121]. Olivier [I] presumably died before the [16 Mar 1261/1 Mar 1262] document cited below under his son.

m PLAISOU de La Roche-Derrien, illegitimate daughter of CONAN de La Roche-Derrien & his mistress --- (-after 1269). Her parentage and marriage are shown by Père Anselme[122]. The primary sources which confirm this information have not been identified. The information has therefore not been verified.

Olivier [I] & his wife had one child:

1. OLIVIER [II] de Clisson ([1230/35?]-[12 Jun 1293/22 Jul 1298]). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified, although it is suggested by the [16 Mar 1261/1 Mar 1262] charter cited below. Olivier [II] acted in his own name in that document, suggesting that he had reached the age of majority and therefore was born [1230/35?]. Seigneur de Clisson. “Olivier de Clicon eschuier [showing that he was Olivier [II]] e seingnor de Clicon” acknowledged a loan from “mon…Seingnor Jahan Duc de Bretaigne” by charter dated 16 Mar 1261 or 1 Mar 1262 (“le jour de Mercredy prochien aprés Invocavit l´an 1261” – either O.S. or N.S.)[123]. A charter dated early Jun 1265 records the settlement of a dispute between “Olivier seigneur de Cliçon vallet” and [his father’s uterine brother] “Eon seigneur du Pont chevalier” concerning “la forest du Pont”[124]. A charter dated 12 Jun 1293 records obligations of “Olivier seigneur de Cliçon chevalier” to the duke of Brittany relating to “sa ville de Chastoceaux...Montfaucon”[125]. Olivier died before 22 Jul 1298, the date of the charter cited below in which his successor is named as seigneur de Clisson. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Olivier’s wife has not been identified. Fernand Bougraud proposed that he married “Aénor des Roches,peut-être une parente de...Guillaume des Roches sénéchal d’Anjou”, Morvan (who provides no indication of the basis of Bougraud’s argument) noting that the proposal is “incertain”[126]. Olivier [II] & his wife had one child:

a) GUILLAUME [III] de Clisson ([1255/60?]-before 1298). Guillaume is named in the 27 Jul 1381 document cited under his wife. Morvan shows his parentage, indicating “mort avant son père”[127]. The primary source which confirms that Olivier [II] was his father has not been identified, although it is suggested by the pattern of succession within the family. If his parentage is correct, the chronology suggests his birth [1255/60?], in which case he probably married [1275/80?]. His death before his father is indicated by the latter’s successor Guillaume [IV] being under age in the 22 Jul 1298 document cited below. m ([1275/80?]) --- Bertrand, daughter of GUILLAUME Bertrand Seigneur de Thury et de Tuit & his wife ---. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by a document dated 27 Jul 1381 in litigation in the Paris parliament which records the three daughters (unnamed) of "messire Guillaume Bertran", of whom the oldest married "messire Guillaume sire de Clisson" to whom she brought "la terre de Tuit", and names their son "Guillaume sire de Clisson et de Tuit", his son "messire Olivier de Clisson", and the latter’s son "messire Olivier de Clisson, qui a present vit"[128]. As will be seen below, the last-named was Olivier [V], son of Olivier [IV]. However, Olivier [III] appears to have been misnamed “Guillaume” in the descent shown in this document. Guillaume [III] & his wife had two children:

i) GUILLAUME [IV] de Clisson ([1277/78?]-[1307?]). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified, but the 22 Jul 1298 (below) suggests that he was the successor of Olivier [II]. The same document confirms that he was a minor at the time, and therefore was unlikely to have been Olivier’s son. Seigneur de Clisson. “Eon seigneur de la Roche Bernart chevalier, tuteur ou curateur de Guillaume seigneur de Cliçon” reached agreement with the duke of Brittany regarding serfs who had been imprisoned “Raoul de Montfort seigneur de Gaël” relating to a sixth part of property of “Mahaut jadis dame de Montfort...Jocelin de la Roche jadis son mari” by charter dated 22 Jul 1298[129]. Morvan records Guillaume’s death “vers 1307” (no source cited)[130]. Morvan records his marriage with “[la] fille du seigneur de La Roche-Bernard”[131], who was named as Guillaume’s guardian in the 22 Jul 1298 document. The primary source which confirms this marriage has not been identified.

ii) OLIVIER [III] de Clisson (-1320). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified. Seigneur de Clisson.

Amaury [III] de Craon and "Olivier de Clisson mari d’Isabeau" agreed the rights of the last named “dans la succession de son père” by charter dated 1300[132]. She married secondly, as his second wife, Henri d´Antoing Seigneur d´Antoing. “Olivier sires de Cliçon tuteur de nostre...cousin Amalri de Craon” acknowledged receipt of payment from “Jouhan Vilainne et Clemens Pelicon commissaires dou Roy” relating to “les terres monsour Jouhan de Chalon...pour partie de la porveance doudit Amalri et de sa suer...que ledit monsour Jouhan tenoit pour cause de bail pour raison de madame Marguerite de Mello sa femme mere desdits Amalri et sa suer” by charter dated Nov 1336[133]. A manuscript of the Cordeliers d’Angers lists members of the Craon family buried "dans la chapelle Saint-Jean", including “Madame Ysabel de Craon dame de Clisson fille de monsieur Maurice sire de Craon et de madame Mahault de Maslines” who died 30 Jul 1350[134].

Olivier [III] & his wife had four children:

1. OLIVIER [IV] de Clisson (-beheaded 9 Aug 1343). Seigneur de Clisson. “Olivier sires de Cliçon tuteur de nostre...cousin Amalri de Craon” acknowledged receipt of payment from “Jouhan Vilainne et Clemens Pelicon commissaires dou Roy” relating to “les terres monsour Jouhan de Chalon...pour partie de la porveance doudit Amalri et de sa suer...que ledit monsour Jouhan tenoit pour cause de bail pour raison de madame Marguerite de Mello sa femme mere desdits Amalri et sa suer” by charter dated Nov 1336[135].

The marriage contract between "Jehan Conte de Roucy chevalier et Marguerite de Bosmes sa fame" and “Olivier de Cliczon et Blanche de Bouville fille de feu Jehan de Bouville chevalier et de lad. Marguerite jadis sa fame”, under which the latter couple made commitments towards “Jehanne de Bouville suer de ladite Blanche et fille dud. feu et de lad. Contesse jadis sa fame, quant elle ara douze ans” and organised the dower of “la mere dudit Olivier”, is dated May 1320[137]. m secondly as her third husband, JEANNE de Belleville, widow firstly of GEOFFROY [VIII] Seigneur de Châteaubriand and separated wife secondly of GUY de Bretagne Comte de Penthièvre, daughter of MAURICE de Montaigu Seigneur de Belleville-sur-Vie & his second wife Letice de Parthenay (-before 30 Dec 1359). “Jehanne dame de Cliçon et de Belleville” confirmed receipt of payment from “Macé --- nostre chastelain de Chasteaum---” by charter dated 18 Oct 1342[138]. She married fourthly Walter de Bentele. Edward III King of England confirmed “loca de Beauvoir, Ampant, la Barre, la Baye et de Castel-Noef” to “Walterus de Bentele...ac...Johannæ tunc uxoris eius dominæ de Bella-villa et de Clizon”, and “Oliverius dominus de Clizon” requested rights over properties “tam prædictus Walterus quam præfata Johanna mater eiusdem Oliverii cujus hæres...est”, by charter dated 30 Dec 1359[139]. Olivier [IV] & his first wife had one child:

a) JEAN de Clisson (-1346). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified. Père Anselme records his parentage, adding that “[il] fut enveloppé dans le malheur de son père, se retira en Bretagne et y mourra sans postérité” (no sources cited)[140]. Seigneur de Milly. Richemond states that Jean died childless and bequeathed Milly to his cousin Isabelle de Meulan[141].

Olivier [IV] & his second wife had four children:

b) OLIVIER [V] de Clisson (Clisson 23 Apr 1336-Château de Josselin 23 Apr 1407).

Seigneur de Clisson. “Messire Olivier Sire de Cliçon et...Madame Beatrix de Laval sa femme” exchanged property with “la Baronnie...du Tuit” by charter dated 14 May 1370[142]. Connétable de France 1380. The testament of "Isabeau de Craon dame de Sully", dated 15 Sep 1383, appointed executors “...son...cousin monsieur Olivier de Clisson...”[143]. Comte de Porhoët. The Chronicon Britannicum records the death 21 Apr 1407 of “Oliverius de Clicio”[144]. m firstly (contract 12 Feb 1361) BEATRIX de Laval, daughter of GUY [X] de Laval Seigneur de Laval et de Vitré & his wife Beatrix de Bretagne (-after 14 May 1370). “Messire Olivier Sire de Cliçon et...Madame Beatrix de Laval sa femme” exchanged property with “la Baronnie...du Tuit” by charter dated 14 May 1370[145]. “Messire Olivier Sire de Cliçon et...Madame Beatrix de Laval sa femme” exchanged property with “la Baronnie...du Tuit” by charter dated 14 May 1370[146]. m secondly as her second husband, MARGUERITE de Rohan, widow of JEAN [IV] Seigneur de Beaumanoir, daughter of ALAIN [VII] Vicomte de Rohan & his wife Jeanne de Rostrenen (-after 14 Dec 1406). “Jean Vicomte de Rohan frere de laditte Marguerite” granted property to “damoiselle Marguerite de Rohan fille esnée feu...Alain Vicomte de Rohan” in view of her proposed marriage to “Jehan Seigneur de Beaumanoir chevalier” by charter dated 13 Jun 1356[147]. “Salmon de Lyminnan” acknowledged a debt to “monsour Jahan Sire de Beaumennoir...deceddé...dame Margueritte de Rohan dame de Moncontour...compeigne dudit Sire de Beaumenoir” by charter dated 9 Feb 1367[148]. The primary source which confirms her second marriage has not been identified. Olivier [V] & his first wife had two children:

i) BEATRIX de Clisson (-1448). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by letters dated 14 Aug 1461 which record a claim by “Mariam de Sillé defuncti Iacobi de Surgeriis...militis domini de Floceleria relicta” which names “Beatricem de Cliçonio vicecomitissam de Rohano et Alanum de Rohano eius filium, Margaretam de Aurelianis defuncti...Richardi de Britannia...comitis Stamparum relictam”[149]. m ALAIN [VIII] Vicomte de Rohan, son of JEAN [I] Vicomte de Rohan & his first wife Jeanne de Léon (-25 Jul 1429).

d) GUILLAUME de Clisson (-after 1350). Père Anselme records his parentage, noting that his father granted “la châtellenie de Blain” to him and his brother Maurice in Sep 1334 [date inconsistent with the birth date of Olivier [V] noted above] and appointed “pour curateur Aimery seigneur d’Argenton”, adding that “Aimery seigneur d’Argenton acquit la terre de la Trouviere pour Guillaume de Clisson, suivant un arrêt de 1350” (no source cited)[153].

2. AMAURY de Clisson (-killed in battle Rochederien 1347). His parentage is confirmed by the 10 Nov 1333 charter quoted below under his wife. Morvan records his death “en 1347” (no source cited)[156]. Père Anselme records Amaury as “seigneur de l’Isle d’Aurillé, de la Blandinaye et autres terres qui furent confisquées à cause de ses rebellions et forfaitures et données au mois d’octobre 1344 à Guillaume de la Heuse”[157]. Père Anselme records Amaury’s death “au combat de Rochederien en 1347, tenant le parti de [Charles de Blois duc de Bretagne]” (no source cited)[158]. m (before 10 Nov 1333) ISABELLE de Remifort, daughter of MAURICE de Remifort & his wife --- (-bur Bellebranche). A charter dated 10 Nov 1333 records the receipt of the dowry of “Isabeau fille de Maurice de Raymefort, mariée à Amaury de Clisson frère d’Olivier chevalier seigneur de Clisson[159]. Her place of burial is confirmed by the testament of her daughter, cited below. Amaury & his wife had two children:

a) AMAURY de Clisson (-1412 or before). Morvan records his parentage, “mort en 1412” (no source cited)[160]. Père Anselme records that he “servoit en Flandres en la compagnie du Connétable de Clisson son cousin és années 1382, 1383, 1386 et 1388, et mourut sans postérité” (no sources cited)[161].

b) ISABELLE de Clisson (-after 7 May 1414, bur Bellebranche). Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage, noting that she was her brother’s heiress and made her testament 7 May 1414 in which she chose burial “en l’abbaye de Bellebranche près sa mère” (no source citations)[162]. Morvan records also her parentage and marriage (no source cited)[163]. The marriage contract between “Regnault d’Ancenis fils de feu messire Geuffroy Seigneur d’Ancenis” and “Ysabeau de Cliçon fille de monseigneur Amaury de Cliçon”, confirmed by “Savary de Vivonne chevalier Seigneur de Thors et des Exars et noble dame Mahaut de Cliçon sa femme”, is dated 3 Mar 1351[164]. m (contract 3 Mar 1351) RENAUD d’Ancenis, son of ---.

Père Anselme names Isabelle, first wife of Jean [I] Seigneur de Rieux, as the daughter of Olivier [IV] de Clisson by his second wife, and also records her date of death (no sources cited)[167]. Bert M. Kamp has highlighted the chronological impossibility of this parentage[168]. Du Bout’s Histoire de l’abbaye d’Orbais indicated that Jean [I] Seigneur de Rieux married “Isabeau de Clisson, sœur d’Olivier, connétable de France”[169], which seems more likely to be correct. An epitaph at Rieux église des Trinitaires records the burial of “Johannes, quondam Dominus de Riex, miles, fundator domus deintus” who died 11 Aug 1357 and “Domina Izabel de Clisson, uxor ejus, fundatrix nostra” who died 5 Apr 1343[170]. m as his first wife, JEAN [I] Seigneur de Rieux, son of GUILLAUME Seigneur de Rieux & his wife Louise de Machecoul (-Paris 7 Aug 1357, bur Rieux église des Trinitaires).

D. SEIGNEURS de MACHECOUL (SEIGNEURS de RAYS)

Machecoul is situated in the present-day French département of Loire-Atlantique, south-west of Nantes. The seigneuries of Machecoul and Rays are recorded in the same family from the early 12th century. After the death in [1213/14] of the last male member of the family, Machecoul, together with the seigneurie of La-Roche-sur-Yon, was inherited by his sister Béatrix who married, as her second husband, Aimery de Thouars. Her daughter Jeanne inherited Machecoul (see POITOU, VICOMTES de THOUARS) but died childless in [1258/30]. In the meantime, it appears that a rival claim emerged to Machecoul. Blanchard records that Philippe VI King of France confiscated the seigneurie de La Roche-sur-Yon on the death in 1235 of Béatrix de Machecoul, but that it was regranted soon afterwards to Béatrix´s daughter Jeanne. Blanchard notes a charter dated Jul 1239 under which "Margarita domina Gasnapie, Montis Acuti et Machecolii", who was the second wife of Pierre I ex-Duke of Brittany, confirmed a donation to Buzay[171]. He speculates that the French king must have confiscated Machecoul at the same time as La-Roche-sur-Yon and, instead of regranting it to Jeanne de Thouars, granted it to the duke of Brittany who would then have granted it to his third wife by way of dower. After the death of Marguerite without issue at the end of 1241, ex-duke Pierre must have resumed possession of Marguerite´s properties, including Machecoul which he then granted to Olivier, his son by his second wife. Blanchard quotes several primary source documents which name Olivier as seigneur de Machecoul in the 1250s[172]. However, a series of documents dated between 1258 and 1269 demonstrates that the dispute with Jeanne de Thouars and her heirs concerning the right to the seigneurie de Machecoul must have continued to fester since 1235. After the death of Jeanne in 1258, her distant relative Eustachie dame de Rays and her husband Gérard [I] Chabot (see the document WESTERN POITOU) claimed Machecoul and the documents indicate that Olivier relinquished the seigneurie under the terms of the settlement which was agreed. In 1276, the oldest grand-daughter of Gérard [I] Chabot was married to Olivier´s oldest son and heir, who later consolidated all the rights to Machecoul which remained in his family until the death in the mid-15th century of his last descendants in the male line.

Seigneur de Rays: “...Guarzilius dominus de Rais...” witnessed the charter dated to [1104] under which “Barbota” donated the church of Saint-Brévin to Angers Saint-Aubin[191]. An undated charter records the donation of property "in terra...Vitreria...in Radezio" to Donges priory, the subsequent dispute “tempore quo Garsias Gestini filius in Hispaniam pergebat cum exercitu Christianorum”[192]. Alain IV Duke of Brittany and his wife Ermengarde donated the churches of Nantes Saint-Saturnin and Sainte-Croix to Marmoutier, recording donations made by “Garsirio de Radesio, Mauricius de Ancenisio et Guihenoco filius eius...Gualdino de Clizon...”, by charter dated 1106[193]. m ---. The name of Garsire’s wife is not known. Garsire [I] & his wife had one child:

An undated charter records agreements between the monks of Saint-Serge “apud Chamariacum” and, among others, “ante mortem Marcuti filii Garsilii Radesiensis domini”[195].

2. RAOUL . A charter dated 1083 records that (1) "Gestinus" expanded the foundation of Chemeré priory, subscribed by “Gestini, Warsirii, Radulfi...Ascutii nepotis Gestini”, (2) "Simon filius Judicalis consanguineus meus...assensu Oquisæ matris suæ et Haltonis fratris sui" donated property, confirmed by “filiis nostris...Warsirio et Radulfo”, (3) “Garsirius de Radesio” donated property with the consent of “filio suo Harscuito et fratre suo Joscelino”, and (4) “Barbotinus de Radesio” donated property witnessed by “dominus Garsilius, Hato et Grasio...Judicalis filius Hatonis”[196]. “Gestinus Machicolensis dominus...propter tutelam vitæ filiorum suorum Garsiæ et Rodulfi et Joscelinus filiæ quoque suæ Agnetis” donated property to Tournus Saint-Philibert, for the souls of “patris sui Aschoit et matris suæ Ulgardis”, by undated charter[197].

Two brothers, parents not known. Garsire [II] is recorded with an unmarried daughter, Beatrix, towards the end of his life (see below). In addition, his oldest son Harscoët [II] must have died childless (or with infant children who were passed over in the succession) as he was succeeded by his younger brother Raoul. This suggests the unlikelihood that he was the same person as Garsire [I], who was named between 1083 and [1104] as shown above. Even more obvious is that Harscoët [III], son of Garsire [II], could not have been the same person as Harscoët [II]. If all this speculation is correct, the two brothers Garsire [II] and Joscelin could have been sons of Harscoët [II], of one of the latter’s otherwise unrecorded brothers, or may have descended from one of the brothers of Garsire [I] who are named above.

1. GARSIRE [II] de Rays/de Machecoul (-after [6 Dec 1138/1141]). “...Garsirio Radensi cum filio suo Harcuido...” were named in a charter dated 23 Oct 1127 for Redon[201]. A charter dated to [1130] records various donations to Coudrie, including the donations made by “Garsirius de Macheco...et domina Beatrix uxor eius...et Arcot filius eius” [202]. “Garsias de Macheco cum filiis Arcoit, Radulfo, Garsia” consented to an undated charter confirming the donation of “locum de Jaunia” to Fontevraud[203]. Seigneur de Machecoul: “Garsilius dominus de Macecho et frater eius Goscelinus...” witnessed the charter dated 6 Dec 1138 under which Conan III Duke of Brittany donated property to Sainte-Croix de Nantes[204]. “...Garsilius dominus de Machecol, Goscelinus frater eius...” witnessed the charter dated to [1135/41] under which Conan III Duke of Brittany donated property to Machecoul priory[205]. m BEATRIX, daughter of --- (-after 10 Jul 1152). A charter dated to [1130] records various donations to Coudrie, including the donations made by “Garsirius de Macheco...et domina Beatrix uxor eius...et Arcot filius eius” [206]. “Radulphus Radesii dominus” donated property “in Busone sitam” to Busay, with the consent of “fratre suo Garsirio”, by charter dated 10 Jul 1152, in the presence of “...Haimerico de Clicione, Herberto de Quemiquerus, Domna Beatrice et Agnete Vicecomitissa...” and made “in domo matris illorum Beatricis”[207]. Garsire & his wife had five children:

a) HARSCOËT [III] de Rays/de Machecoul (-[1140/50]). “...Garsirio Radensi cum filio suo Harcuido...” were named in a charter dated 23 Oct 1127 for Redon[208]. A charter dated to [1130] records various donations to Coudrie, including the donations made by “Garsirius de Macheco...et domina Beatrix uxor eius...et Arcot filius eius” [209]. “Garsias de Macheco cum filiis Arcoit, Radulfo, Garsia” consented to an undated charter confirming the donation of “locum de Jaunia” to Fontevraud[210]. [Seigneur] de Machecoul. His brief succession to his father is confirmed by the following document: a charter dated to [Mar/Jul] 1153 records that “Garsilius de Machecollo” granted toll exemptions on the bridge of Machecoul, with the consent of his children “Harscoët, Raoul, Garsire et Béatrix” and that not long after (“non post multum vero tempus”) “domino Garsilio defuncto atque paulo post Arscoido filio suo” the grant was confirmed by “Radulfus” who had succeeded (“successit Radulfus in patrimonium”)[211].

b) RAOUL [I] de Rays/de Machecoul (-19 Mar [1161/82]). “Garsias de Macheco cum filiis Arcoit, Radulfo, Garsia” consented to an undated charter confirming the donation of “locum de Jaunia” to Fontevraud[212]. Seigneur de Rays. Seigneur de Machecoul.

c) GARSIRE [II] de Rays/de Machecoul (-before 1172). “Garsias de Macheco cum filiis Arcoit, Radulfo, Garsia” consented to an undated charter confirming the donation of “locum de Jaunia” to Fontevraud[213].

- see below.

d) BEATRIX de Rays/de Machecoul (-after 10 Jul 1152). A charter dated to [Mar/Jul] 1153 records that “Garsilius de Machecollo” granted toll exemptions on the bridge of Machecoul, with the consent of his children “Harscoët, Raoul, Garsire et Béatrix” and that later her brother Raoul confirmed the grant[214]. The document gives no indication of the date of the original grant, which presumably took place towards the end of the grantor’s life. Beatrix’s mention suggests that she was the oldest daughter (unless her sister Agnes was already married) and was unmarried at the time. “Radulphus Radesii dominus” donated property “in Busone sitam” to Busay by charter dated 10 Jul 1152, in the presence of “Garsirio eiusdem Radulphi fratre, Haimerico de Clicione, Herberto de Quemiquerus, Domna Beatrice et Agnete Vicecomitissa...”[215].

2. JOSCELIN de Rays/de Machecoul (-after [6 Dec 1138/1141]). “Garsilius dominus de Macecho et frater eius Goscelinus...” witnessed the charter dated 6 Dec 1138 under which Conan III Duke of Brittany donated property to Sainte-Croix de Nantes[217]. “...Garsilius dominus de Machecol, Goscelinus frater eius...” witnessed the charter dated to [1135/41] under which Conan III Duke of Brittany donated property to Machecoul priory[218].

RAOUL [I] de Rays/de Machecoul, son of GARSIRE [II] Seigneur de Rays et de Machecoul & his wife Beatrix --- (-19 Mar [1161/82]). “Garsias de Macheco cum filiis Arcoit, Radulfo, Garsia” consented to an undated charter confirming the donation of “locum de Jaunia” to Fontevraud[219]. Seigneur de Rays: “Radulphus Radesii dominus” donated property “in Busone sitam” to Busay, with the consent of “fratre suo Garsirio”, by charter dated 10 Jul 1152, in the presence of “...Haimerico de Clicione, Herberto de Quemiquerus, Domna Beatrice et Agnete Vicecomitissa...” and made “in domo matris illorum Beatricis”[220]. [Seigneur] de Machecoul: a charter dated to [Mar/Jul] 1153 records that “Garsilius de Machecollo” granted toll exemptions on the bridge of Machecoul, with the consent of his children “Harscoët, Raoul, Garsire et Béatrix” and that not long after (“non post multum vero tempus”) “domino Garsilio defuncto atque paulo post Arscoido filio suo” the grant was confirmed “Radulfus” who had succeeded (“successit Radulfus in patrimonium”)[221]. “Raoul de Machecol seigneur dudit lieu et de la Benaste” donated property to Breuil-Herbaud [Broilarbaut] monastery by charter dated 9 Aug 1161[222]. “Hugo dominus Roche” donated property “terræ mansuram...Seenberteria” to Marmoutier, witnessed after his death by “uxor Troblelanda...”, later confirmed by “successores sui Radulfus de Machecollio et Willelmus Talevat”, by undated charter[223]. An undated charter records that “Guillermus dominus Libret de Luco” donated property “in terra de Manu Clava” to Bois-Grolland and that “Radulfus de Macheco et Guillermus Talevat tunc domini de Roca” donated their property “in nemore”[224]. Blanchard suggests that this latter charter should be dated to [1160/66][225]. The necrology of Geneston records the death “XIV Kal Apr” of “Radulphus pater Bernardi de Machecolio”[226].

m MARIE Talevat, daughter of --- (-20 Mar ----). Her marriage and family origin are confirmed by the following document: [her son] Bernard de Machecoul confirmed donations to Geneston made by “pater meus et Maria mater mea et Willelmus Talevaz avunculus meus” by undated charter, confirmed by [her grandson] Olivier de Machecoul by charter dated Feb 1270[227]. The necrology of Geneston records the death “XII Kal Apr” of “Maria mater Bernardi de Machecolio”[228].

Raoul [I] & his wife had one child:

1. BERNARD de Machecoul (-17 Mar [1212]). Blanchard states that Bernard de Machecoul was the only son of Raoul Seigneur de Rays and that he inherited the seigneurie de Machecoul from his father, while the seigneurie de Rays passed to Bernard´s first cousin Harscoët [III], but from the sources which he cites it is unclear which one provides the basis for this reported affiliation[229]. The Scripta de Feodis of King Philippe II, dated to the early 13th century, record “...Bernardus de Machequol...” among “milites Britanniæ”[230]. "Bernardus Machecolli dominus et Sancti Philiberti" is named in two charters of Geneston[231]. “Willelmus de Malileone” donated property the church of Saint-Léon, with the consent of “Bernardus de Macheco et Beatrix uxor mea et Eblonius filius meus”, by charter dated 1208[232]. “Bernardus dominus Machecolli” confirmed previous donations to Coudrie, with the consent of “filio meo Radulpho de Machecol”, by charter dated 1211[233]. m ELEONORE de Tonnay, daughter of RAOUL "le Vieux" Seigneur de Tonnay & his wife --- (-before 1217). "Bernardus dominus Machecoli" donated property to the priory of Saint-Lazare near Machecoul, with the consent of "Aenord femme de Bernard, Raoul, Bernard et Béatrix ses enfants", by charter dated 1185[234]. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 1217 under which [her daughter] “Beatriz filia Bernardi de Macheco eiusdem castri de Macheco et de Luciono domina” confirmed a settlement of a dispute between “Johannem de Alnisio hominem abbatis Lucionensis” and “fratres Mosse Judei...” concerning property “in manu avunculi mei nobilis viri Radulfi de Tauniaco junioris tunc temporis domini de Lucionio” acquired “tempore avi mei Radulfi de Tauniaco senioris”[235].

Her parentage and marriage are indicated by an order dated 17 Jun 1215 under which King John granted "terris que fuerunt predicti Radulfi" to "Eymico Beket" on his marriage with "filia Radulfi Macheko quem genuit ex sorore Sauar de Malo Leon", noting that "soror ipsius Rad quem Eymicus fil Vic Thoarc" married is "propinquior heres…eiusdem Radulfi", dated 17 Jun 1215[239]. It is unlikely that this daughter was the same person as Eustachie, widow of Hugues [III] Vicomte de Châtellerault, as her descendants are not named in Eustachie´s charter dated Oct 1239 which names her deceased daughter Clémence. Raoul & his wife had one child:

i) daughter . Her parentage and marriage are indicated by an order dated 17 Jun 1215 under which King John granted "terris que fuerunt predicti Radulfi" to "Eymico Beket" on his marriage with "filia Radulfi Macheko quem genuit ex sorore Sauar de Malo Leon", noting that "soror ipsius Rad quem Eymicus fil Vic Thoarc" married is "propinquior heres…eiusdem Radulfi", dated 17 Jun 1215[240]. m ([17 Jun 1215]) AIMERY Becket, son of ---.

"Beatriz filia Bernardi de Macheco, eiusdem castri de Macheco et Lucionio domina" and "Aimericus dominus de Machecollo et de Lucionio" issued charters dated 1217[251]. “Beatriz filia Bernardi de Macheco eiusdem castri de Macheco et de Luciono domina” confirmed a settlement of a dispute between “Johannem de Alnisio hominem abbatis Lucionensis” and “fratres Mosse Judei...” concerning property “in manu avunculi mei nobilis viri Radulfi de Tauniaco junioris tunc temporis domini de Lucionio” acquired “tempore avi mei Radulfi de Tauniaco senioris”, by charter dated 1217[252].

OLIVIER [I] de Braine dit de Machecoul, son of PIERRE I "Mauclerc" Duke of Brittany & his second wife Nicole --- ([1231/32]-1279, bur Villeneuve-lez-Nantes). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 10 Mar 1258 under which "Jehan duc de Bretaigne conte de Richemont" confirmed an agreement between "Morice de Belle Ville, par raison de Jehanne sa femme, dame de la Roche sur Yon et de Luçon" and "Olivier nostre frère" concerning "la terre de Machecoul et de Saint Philbert"[255].

The precise connection between the following person and the Porhoët family has not been ascertained. A family connection is suggested by the following document: William FitzStephen names “Willelmus cognomento Malus Vicinus, nepos Eudonis comitis Brittaniæ” among those consulted by Henry II King of England concerning Thomas Becket Archbishop of Canterbury in 1171[378]. This assumes the co-identity between Brita’s son Guillaume and Guillaume Mauvoisin (-before [1190]), which is suggested in the document PARIS REGION NOBILITY-DREUX & MANTES: Considering that her sons were adult in [1146/48], it is unlikely that Brita was the sister of Eudes [II] whose first marriage is dated to “1148 or before” as noted below. One possibility is that she was Eudes’s aunt, which would be compatible with “nepos” being used in an extended sense. If that is correct, there is no indication whether the relationship was through Eudes’s father or his mother. Considering the range of possibilities regarding the interpretation of “nepos”, further speculation is of little value until the emergence of other sources which supplement this information. It should be noted that “Brita” may not have been her given name, but could have been a nickname indicating Breton origin (in the same way as “Brito”).

1. BRITA, daughter of --- [de Porhoët] & his wife --- (-after 1148). "Sanson…Remensis archiepiscopus" noted the settlement of a dispute concerning "Radulfus Malvesinus frater meus et uxor eius Brita et filii eorum Radulfus et Guillelmus et Manasses et filie eorum Agnes et Regina" concerning "villa de Busseio…Bti Georgii de Medunta…in terra de Monte Ursonis" by charter dated 1146[379].

EUDES [II] de Porhoët, son of GEOFFROY Vicomte de Porhoët & his wife Hawise --- (-after 1180). "Gaufredus vicecomes, Eudo filius eius…" witnessed a charter dated 15 Jun 1130 under which Donald Bishop of Saint-Malo confirmed a donation to the monks of Saint-Martin de Josselin[381]. Comte de Porhoët. He succeeded in 1148 as EUDES Duke of Brittany, by right of his first wife. "Eudo comes" founded the abbey of Notre-Dame de Lantenac by charter dated 1149, witnessed by "Josthos et Alanus fratres comitis, Alanus vicecomes de Monteforti…"[382]. "Eudo comes" confirmed a donation to Saint-Martin de Josselin, with the consent of "fratrum meorum…Joscii vicecomitis et Alani Ceoche", by charter dated 1153[383]. "Eudo comes" donated property previously donated by "dominus Gaufridus pater meus" to the priory of Josselin on the advice of "fratrum meorum Joscii vicecomitis et Alani Ceoche" by charter dated 1153[384]. Deposed by his stepson in 1156, he was taken prisoner by Raoul de Fougères. The date of his death is indicated by a charter dated 1213 under which [her grandson] "Willelmus dominus Montiforten" confirmed donations to Montfort made by "antecessoribus meis...domino Gaufrido de Monteforti...W. avi mei", quoting a charter dated 1180 under which “Gaufridus dominus Montifortis sequens vestigial patris mei Willelmi” donated property with the consent of “uxore mea et filiis meis Rad. Will et Rolando...Eudone comite avunculo meo [identified as Eudes Comte de Porhoët, Duke of Brittany, her brother]...Oliverio patruo meo”[385].

m firstly (1148 or before) as her second husband, BERTHE de Bretagne, widow of ALAIN "le Noir" de Penthièvre, Lord of Richmond, daughter of CONAN III Duke of Brittany & his wife Matilda, illegitimate daughter of Henry I King of England (-[1162/67). The Chronicon Britannico Alter records the death in 1148 of "Conanus Dux Britanniæ" and records that he had disinherited "Hoellus…suum…filium" and that he appointed as his successor "Eudone Vicecomite Porhoëtensi" who had married "sororem eius Bertam"[386]. The primary source which confirms her first marriage has not yet been identified.

m secondly (Aug 1167) --- de Léon, daughter of GUYOMAR [IV] Vicomte de Léon & his wife Nobilis ---. Robert of Torigny records the marriage in 1167 of "comes Eudes" and "Guihunmanus filius Hervei vicecomes Leonensis…filiam" but does not name her[387].

Eudes [II] & his first wife had two children:

1. GEOFFROY de Porhoët (-after 6 Dec 1155). "Eudo...dux Britannorum...et filium meum Gaufridum" confirmed the donation made by "forestarii mei..." to Savigny by charter dated 6 Dec 1155[388].

2. ALIX [Adelaide] de Porhoët (-29 Oct 1220). The necrology of Fontevraud records that "Adelidis abbatissa comitis Britanniæ filia" was "à primævo juventutis suæ...dum tricesimum haberet annum" brought up “in aula regis Anglorum et reginæ” and later became a nun at Frontevraud[389]. Given-Wilson & Curteis state that “Eudo de Porhoët, ex-count of Brittany” claimed in 1168 that the English king, while holding his daughter as a hostage for peace, had made her pregnant ‘treacherously, adulterously and incestuously; for the king and Eudo´s wife were the offspring of two sisters’” (referring to two daughters of King Henry I, one legitimate the other illegitimate, named Matilda)[390]. This report seems to be based on a letter of John of Salisbury which records that the king “had made her pregnant”[391]. The necrology of Fontevraud records the death "IV Kal Nov" of “domina Adelides de Britannia Fontis Ebraldi...abbatissa, Eudonis comtis Britanniæ filiæ”[392]. Mistress (1168) of: HENRY II King of England, son of GEOFFROY "le Bel/Plantagenet" Comte d'Anjou et du Maine & his wife [Empress] Matilda of England (Le Mans, Anjou 5 Mar 1133-Château de Chinon 6 Jul 1189, bur Abbaye de Fontevrault).

Eudes & his second wife had [three] children:

3. EUDES [III] de Porhoët (-1231). "Alanus vicecomes de Rohan...cum uxore mea Constancia" founded Bonrepos abbey for his own burial and that of "Alanus filius meus", with the consent of “Alano filio meo”, and donated property “in Britannia et in Anglia...in episcopate Eliensi...ecclesiam de Fuleburne...”, witnessed by “Herveo de Leon, Herveo filio Comitis...”, a second version of the document dated 20 Jun 1184 recording the consent of “Alano et Guillelmo filiis meis”, and a third version, undated, the consent of “Margarita et Ælizia filiabus meis” (witnessed by “Eudone filio Comitis, Henrico fratre eius, Herveo de Leuns, Daniele Senescallo, Galterio filio Ruelloni...”)[393]. Comte de Porhoët. "Eudo filius comitis" granted rights to the prior of Saint-Martin by charter dated 1225[394]. m firstly ---. The name of Eudes's first wife is not known. This first marriage is indicated because Marguerite, the known wife of Eudes [III], is referred to as his widow but not as mother of his children in the charter dated Nov 1248 which is quoted below. If Marguerite had been their mother, the omission would be surprising as Eudes´s surviving children are also named in the document. The chronology of the family suggests that the marriage of Eudes and the mother of his daughters must have taken place when he was already old. If that is correct, there may have been an even earlier marriage which was childless. m secondly MARGUERITE, daughter of --- (-after Nov 1248). A charter dated Nov 1248 records a third division of the inheritance of “monseignour Eun fils le Comte” between "Raol seigneur de Fougieres, Pierres de Chemillé seigneur de Brochessac et Alienor sa femme, et Ollivier de Montauban et Joanne sa femme", including “quand il avendra que le doaire Margarite qui fut femme monseignor Eun filz le Comte escherra après la mort d´icelle, le hebergement de la Ville Jagu et le Plessix”[395]. Eudes [III] & his firrst wife had three children:

a) MATHILDE de Porhoët . An undated charter records an agreement between "Willelmum de Filgeriis filium Henrici de Filgeriis" and "Eudonem filium comitis et Gaufridum de Castro Brientii et Willelmum de Guirchia" relating to the marriage of “Gaufridi de Filgeriis” and “filia prædicti Eudonis filii comitis”[396]. The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified. Vicomtesse de Porhoët. m GEOFFROY Comte de Fougères, son of GUILLAUME Comte de Fougères & his wife Agatha du Hommet (-1212).

b) ELEONORE de Porhoët (-after 24 Jun 1251). Dame de la Chèze. "Petrum de Chemillie dominum Mauritanii et Alienor vicecomitissam de Rohan eius uxorem" reached agreement with the abbé de Sainit-Jacut-des-Iles regarding a construction, by charter dated 24 Jun 1251[397].

"Petrus de Camilliaco dominus de Chesia et Alienor eius uxor quondam vicecomitissa de Rohan" confirmed that “Gaufridus de Cadellac miles” granted “feodum...de parochia de Ploemet” to “fratri nostro Thomæ de Camilliaco militi” by charter dated Jan 1246[399].

c) JEANNE de Porhoët (-after Nov 1248). "Joannes dux Britanniæ comes Richemondiæ" confirmed the agreement between “Radulphus dominus Filgeriarum” and “avunculus noster Petrus de Chemilly” concerning property of which “habebit prædictus Radulphus duas partes et prædictus Petrus et soror uxoris eius tertiam partem” by charter dated Sep 1239[402]. "Joannes dux Britanniæ comes Richemondiæ" confirmed another agreement between “Radulphus dominus Fougeriarum” and “avunculus noster Petrus de Chemilleio et Oliverius de Montauban et pro se et ratione uxorum suarum” as heirs of “Eudonis filii comitis de Caduca” by charter dated 14 Apr 1241[403]. A charter dated Nov 1248 records a third division of the inheritance of “monseignour Eun fils le Comte” between "Raol seigneur de Fougieres, Pierres de Chemillé seigneur de Brochessac et Alienor sa femme, et Ollivier de Montauban et Joanne sa femme", including “quand il avendra que le doaire Margarite qui fut femme monseignor Eun filz le Comte escherra après la mort d´icelle, le hebergement de la Ville Jagu et le Plessix”[404]. m OLIVIER Seigneur de Montauban, son of JEAN Seigneur de Montauban & his wife Gasseline de Montfort (-after Nov 1248).

4. HERVE [Henri?] de Porhoët (-after Jul 1184). "Alanus vicecomes de Rohan...cum uxore mea Constancia" founded Bonrepos abbey for his own burial and that of "Alanus filius meus", with the consent of “Alano filio meo”, and donated property “in Britannia et in Anglia...in episcopate Eliensi...ecclesiam de Fuleburne...”, witnessed by “Herveo de Leon, Herveo filio Comitis...”, a second version of the document dated 20 Jun 1184 recording the consent of “Alano et Guillelmo filiis meis”, and a third version, undated, the consent of “Margarita et Ælizia filiabus meis” (witnessed by “Eudone filio Comitis, Henrico fratre eius, Herveo de Leuns, Daniele Senescallo, Galterio filio Ruelloni...”)[405]. It is not known whether Hervé and Henri, named in two of these versions, refer to the same person whose name has been mistranscribed in one of the documents.

5. [ELEONORE (-5 May after 1243). A charter dated Jul 1219 records donations to Beauport abbey made by "Alanus Henrici comitis filius" dated “anno quo rex Ricardus promotus fuit in regem” [1189] witnessed by “...domina Petronilla uxor domini Alani, Aliena sponsa domini Conani”[406]. "Conanus, Henrici comitis filius" donated property to the abbey of Notre-Dame-de-Beauport by charter dated 1202, signed by "…Alienor filia comitis Eudonis, Aliz domicella…"[407]. It is not certain that "Alienor filia comitis Eudonis" was the wife of Conan but her position in the list of subscribers, after Conan´s knights, suggests that this might be the case. If that is correct, Eudes Comte de Porhoët is the only "comes Eudo" who has yet been identified who could have been her father. The fact that her father held a higher rank than her husband may account for her being linked in the document to her father´s rather than her husband´s name. If her parentage is correctly identified, the chronology suggests that she would have been born to her supposed father´s second marriage. "A…vidua quondam Conani filii comitis uxor" settled a dispute with the abbey of Notre-Dame-de-Beauport about "insula de Bigniguez" by charter dated 1214[408]. "Alienor, quondam uxor Conani filii Henrici comitis" wrote to "Radulpho domino Filgeriis" confirming his donation to Notre-Dame-de-Beauport, dated 1243[409]. The necrology of Notre-Dame-de-Beauport records the death "III Non Mai" of "Alienor uxoris Conani comitis"[410]. m CONAN de Penthièvre, son of HENRI de Bretagne Comte de Tréguier & his wife Mathilde de Vendôme (-[1202/14]).]

"Radulfo de Filgeriis, Allano de Rohan, Rollando de Dinanno…" witnessed the charter dated to [1185/86] under which "Gaufridus Henrici regis filius, dux Britannie, comes Richemont" confirmed the donations to the abbey of Pont-Pillard by its founders "Rollando et Allano de Dinanno"[422]. "Alanus vicecomes de Rohan…cum uxore mea Constantia" founded the abbey of Bon-Repos, as a burial place for himself and "Alanus filius meus", with the consent of "Alano et Guillelmo filiis meus", by charter dated 23 Jun 1184, witnessed by "Radulphi Filgeriarum domni…Hamelino de Meduana…Herveio de Vitreio…"[423].

Alain [III] & his [first/second] wife had [two] children:

v) JOSCELIN (-after 17 Oct 1251). The possibility that Joscelin was Alain [III]’s son by his second marriage is suggested by charter dated [1213] quoted below under his possible sister Héloise. Joscelin surviving his brother Alain [IV] by so many years could also be explained if they had different mothers. "Alanus de Rohan" donated property to the abbey of Bon-Repos, with the consent of "Jocelino fratre meo…et filiis et heredibus meis Gaufrido, Conano et Alano", by charter dated 1204[435]. Vicomte de Rohan. The Scripta de Feodis of King Philippe II, dated to the early 13th century, record “...Joscelinus de Rohan...” among “milites Britanniæ”[436]. "Joscelinus vicecomes de Rohan" confirmed the foundation of Bonrepos abbey, for the souls of "mee et uxoris mee", with the consent of “nepotibus meis Gaufrido, Conano et Alano”, by charter dated 1213[437]. Seigneur de Noial. Seigneur de Montfort, de iure uxoris. “Josselinus de Rohan dominus Montis-fortis et de Noyal” founded a chapel at Bonrepos for his burial, including donation of harvest "tam ex dono meo quam ex dono domini Alani fratris mei", by charter dated 1249[438]. "Jocellinus de Rohan, dominus Montis-Fortis" recognised that his property, the parish of Noial, would return to "Alanum vicecomitem de Rohan" after his death, by charter dated 16 and 17 Oct 1251[439]. m MATHILDE de Montfort, daughter and heiress of GUILLAUME [II] Seigneur de Montfort & his wife ---. "Matill domina Montis-Fortis et de Noial" donated property to the abbey of Bon-Repos, with the consent of "domini Jocelini de Rohan mariti mei", by charter dated 1235[440].

- SEIGNEURS de MONTAUBAN[441].

vi) [HELOISE (-after [1213]). "Helois filia Al. Vicecomitis de Rohan" donated property to Bonrepos, with the consent of "dominus Josselinus Vicecomes de Rohan", by undated charter (included in the compilation among documents dated 1213)[442]. On the basis of this document, Heloise could have been the daughter either of Vicomte Alain [III] or Vicomte Alain [IV]. The former appears to be the more likely possibility as a daughter of Alain [IV] (then deceased) would have been young in 1213 to have made an independent donation without the consent of her own brothers. However, the charter dated Feb 1259, under which Catherine de Rohan confirmed the donation made by her deceased sister Heloise, suggests that the two sisters were daughters of Alain [IV] as it appears improbable from a chronological point of view that a daughter of Alain [III] was still living in 1259. One possibility is that the two references to Heloise do not refer to the same person, and that the donor under the 1213 charter was the daughter of Alain [III], while the sister of Catherine was the daughter of Alain [IV]. If that is correct, the mention of Joscelin in the [1213] document suggests a close connection with Héloise. Maybe they were children of Alain [III] by his second marriage?]

2. JOSCELIN (-after [1127/28]). "Alanus vicecomes Porrohouetensis" donated property to the monks of Saint-Martin by charter dated [1127/28], witnessed by "Jostho filius eius…"[443].

ALAIN [IV] de Rohan, son of ALAIN [III] Vicomte de Rohan & his first wife Constance de Penthièvre (-27 Oct 1205). "Alanus vicecomes de Rohan…cum uxore mea Constantia" founded the abbey of Bon-Repos, as a burial place for himself and "Alanus filius meus", with the consent of "Alano et Guillelmo filiis meus", by charter dated 23 Jun 1184[444]. "Alanus vicecomes de Rohan...cum uxore mea Constancia" founded Bonrepos abbey for his own burial and that of "Alanus filius meus", with the consent of “Alano filio meo”, and donated property “in Britannia et in Anglia...in episcopate Eliensi...ecclesiam de Fuleburne...”, witnessed by “Herveo de Leon, Herveo filio Comitis...”, a second version of the document dated 20 Jun 1184 recording the consent of “Alano et Guillelmo filiis meis”[445]. Vicomte de Rohan. "Alanus juvenis de Rohan" confirmed donations made to Bonrepos abbey, for the salvation of "Mabiliæ uxoris meæ", with the consent of “filiis meis Gaufrido et Conano et Alano”, by undated charter[446]. Seigneur de Guéméné. "Alanus de Rohan" donated property to the abbey of Bon-Repos, with the consent of "Jocelino fratre meo…et filiis et heredibus meis Gaufrido, Conano et Alano", by charter dated 1204[447].

m [firstly] MABILE de Fougères, daughter of RAOUL [II] Seigneur de Fougères & his wife Mathilde ---. "Alanus juvenis de Rohan" confirmed donations made to Bonrepos abbey, for the salvation of "Mabiliæ uxoris meæ", with the consent of “filiis meis Gaufrido et Conano et Alano”, by undated charter[448]. The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified.

[m secondly CATHERINE, daughter of --- (-after 20 Sep 1230). "Catarina nobilis vidua Alani vicecomitis de Rohan" donated property to the abbey of Bon-Repos, with the consent of "filie mee", by charter dated 1230[449]. Another published version of the same charter names the donor "Catharina nobilis vidua filia Alani vicecomitis de Rohan", with the consent of “filiæ meæ”, by charter dated 20 Sep 1230[450]. It is not known which version is correct.]

Alain [IV] & his [first] wife had [six] children:

1. GEOFFROY [I] (-15 Sep 1221). "Alanus juvenis de Rohan" confirmed donations made to Bonrepos abbey, for the salvation of "Mabiliæ uxoris meæ", with the consent of “filiis meis Gaufrido et Conano et Alano”, by undated charter[451]. "Alanus de Rohan" donated property to the abbey of Bon-Repos, with the consent of "Jocelino fratre meo…et filiis et heredibus meis Gaufrido, Conano et Alano", by charter dated 1204[452]. "Joscelinus vicecomes de Rohan" confirmed the foundation of Bonrepos abbey, for the souls of "mee et uxoris mee", with the consent of “nepotibus meis Gaufrido, Conano et Alano”, by charter dated 1213[453]. Vicomte de Rohan. "Gaufredus vicecomes de Rohan" confirmed donations to Bonrepos abbey made by “avus meus Alanus vicecomes de Rohan et pater meus”, for the salvation of “Margaritæ uxoris meæ”, with the consent of "fratribus meis Oliverio et Alano", by charter dated 1216[454]. m firstly MARGUERITE, daughter of --- (-[1216/20]). Her marriage is confirmed by the following document: "Gaufredus vicecomes de Rohan" confirmed donations to Bonrepos abbey made by “avus meus Alanus vicecomes de Rohan et pater meus”, for the salvation of “Margaritæ uxoris meæ”, with the consent of "fratribus meis Oliverio et Alano", by charter dated 1216[455]. The following charter appears to provide the only indication of Marguerite’s family origin: "Petrus dux Britanniæ comes Richemundiæ" confirmed, for the souls of “nostræ et...Margaritæ sororis nostræ dicti Gaufridi quondam uxoris”, that “Alanus vicecomes de Rohan” had donated revenue “de Costeteia” to Bonrepos for the soul of "Gaufridi fratris sui", by charter dated 1232[456]. Four possible parentages have been proposed. Firstly, if “sororis” in this document is read literally, she was Marguerite de Dreux, daughter of Robert [II] Comte de Dreux et de Braine & his second wife Yolande de Coucy. No other record has been found which names one of Pierre’s sisters Marguerite, so this parentage is not impossible. It is true that the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers only to seven daughters of Pierre’s parents[457], but the omission of an eighth daughter is not impossible bearing in mind Alberic’s numerous inaccuracies. None of Pierre’s known sisters married Breton noblemen, but after his own marriage Pierre may have wanted to consolidate his position in Brittany by marrying an unmarried sister to a powerful local magnate. Secondly, “sororis” in the 1232 document could be interpreted as sister-in-law which, if correct, means that she was Marguerite de Thouars, daughter of Guy de Thouars & his second wife Constance Dss of Brittany. This parentage was assumed to be correct by several 18th and 19th century secondary sources[458] and is an attractive possibility considering Marguerite’s Breton marriage. The difficulty is that Constance, during her short third marriage, appears to have had insufficient time to have given birth to three children, although Léa Chaillou has suggested recently that Marguerite may have been twin with Constance’s daughter Catherine and that a difficult twin birth may explain Constance’s early death[459]. Thirdly, Europäische Stammtafeln shows Guy de Rohan’s first wife as Marguerite de Blundeville, daughter of Ranulf de Blundeville Earl of Chester & his first wife Constance de Bretagne[460]. No other source has been found which discusses this possibility. It is assumed that it is speculative, based on the apparent chronological difficulty of Constance giving birth to three children by her third husband. This possibility appears unlikely to be correct as Marguerite’s hereditary claim to the duchy of Brittany which would have been senior to the wife of Pierre de Dreux, who was Constance’s oldest daughter by her third husband. While Marguerite may have been side-lined like Constance’s oldest daughter Eléonore, born from her mother’s first marriage, it is probable that Marguerite’s Breton husband would have pressed such a claim to increase his power-base. Another problem is the Genealogia Comitum Richemundiæ which records that the second marriage of "Constantia filia Conani" and "Ranulphus Comes Cestriæ" was childless[461], although it is possible that this source omitted children who died young without children of their own. Fourthly, she could have been Marguerite de Blundeville, daughter of Ranulf de Blundeville Earl of Chester & his second wife Clémence de Fougères. This seems the least likely of the four possibilities as it would stretch the definition of “soror” in the 1232 document beyond what is probable. m secondly (after 4 May 1220) as her second husband, GERVAISE de Vitré Vicomtesse de Dinan, widow of JUHAEL [II] Seigneur de Mayenne, daughter of ALAIN Seigneur de Vitré & his wife Clémence de Fougères (-[1235/41]). "Henricus de Avalgor, filius Alani comitis…et Margarita uxor mea" renewed a donation of property to the abbey of Bon-Repos by "Gervasia domina Dinani", for the soul of "bone memorie Gaufridi vicecomitis de Rohan quondam mariti sui", by charter dated 1229[462]. She married thirdly (before Jan 1224) Richard Marshal, who succeeded his brother in 1231 as Earl of Pembroke, hereditary Master Marshal. "Gervasia domina Dynanni" donated property to Saint-Aubin-des-Bois after the death of "bone memorie Richardi Marischallis, quondam mariti mei" by charter dated 1236[463]. Her date of death is confirmed by the charter dated 1241 under which "Droco de Melloto, Locharam et Meduane dominus" [her son-in-law] wrote to "fratri suo domino Henrico de Avalgor", naming "bone memorie domine Gervasie"[464].

2. HELOISE (-before Feb 1259). "Helois filia Al. Vicecomitis de Rohan" donated property to Bonrepos, with the consent of "dominus Josselinus Vicecomes de Rohan", by undated charter (included in the compilation among documents dated 1213)[465]. On the basis of this document, Heloise could have been the daughter either of Vicomte Alain [III] or Vicomte Alain [IV]. The former appears to be the more likely possibility as a daughter of Alain [IV] (then deceased) would have been young in 1213 to have made an independent donation without the consent of her own brothers. However, the charter dated Feb 1259, under which her sister Catherine confirmed the donation made by her deceased sister Heloise, suggests that the two sisters were daughters of Alain [IV] as it appears improbable from a chronological point of view that a daughter of Alain [III] was still living in 1259. Another possibility is that the two references to Heloise do not refer to the same person, and that the donor under the 1213 charter was the daughter of Alain [III] while the sister of Catherine was the daughter of Alain [IV].

3. CONAN (-after 1213). "Alanus juvenis de Rohan" confirmed donations made to Bonrepos abbey, for the salvation of "Mabiliæ uxoris meæ", with the consent of “filiis meis Gaufrido et Conano et Alano”, by undated charter[466]. "Alanus de Rohan" donated property to the abbey of Bon-Repos, with the consent of "Jocelino fratre meo…et filiis et heredibus meis Gaufrido, Conano et Alano", by charter dated 1204[467]. "Joscelinus vicecomes de Rohan" confirmed the foundation of Bonrepos abbey, for the souls of "mee et uxoris mee", with the consent of “nepotibus meis Gaufrido, Conano et Alano”, by charter dated 1213[468].

4. [OLIVIER (-[May 1225/1228]). "Gaufredus vicecomes de Rohan" confirmed donations to Bonrepos abbey made by “avus meus Alanus vicecomes de Rohan et pater meus”, for the salvation of “Margaritæ uxoris meæ”, with the consent of "fratribus meis Oliverio et Alano", by charter dated 1216[469]. The sudden appearance in this record of Olivier, whose name does not appear in the other documents quoted in this section which name the other three known sons of Vicomte Alain [IV], suggests a possible mistranscription and that his name should have read Conan. However, the following charter dated 1221 clarifies Olivier as the correct name. His earlier absence from sources has not been explained, unless Conan had changed his name to Olivier by 1216. Vicomte de Rohan. "Oliverius vicecomes de Rohan et Alanus frater eius" confirmed donations made to Bonrepos abbey by “avus noster Alanus senior et Alanus junior pater noster et Gaufridus frater noster quondam vicecomes de Rohan” by charter dated 1221[470]. "Olivarius vicecomes de Rohan" confirmed the donation made to Bonrepos abbey by “Eudo de Regueni miles...G. frater meus”, confirmed by “Alano alio fratre meo”, by charter dated 1223[471]. "...O. vicecomes de Rohan et frater eius..." subscribed the charter dated May 1225 under which “Petrus dux Britanniæ, comes Richemondiæ” founded the town of Saint-Aubin de Cormier (reproduced in a charter dated 6 Jan 1408)[472]. "Oliverius vicecomes de Rohan" donated property to Bonrepos “pro testament Gaufridi fratris mei quondam vicecomitis de Rohan”, naming “Alanum fratrum meum” by undated charter[473].]

5. ALAIN [V] (-1242). "Alanus juvenis de Rohan" confirmed donations made to Bonrepos abbey, for the salvation of "Mabiliæ uxoris meæ", with the consent of “filiis meis Gaufrido et Conano et Alano”, by undated charter[474]. "Alanus juvenis de Rohan" confirmed donations made to Bonrepos abbey, for the salvation of "Mabiliæ uxoris meæ", with the consent of “filiis meis Gaufrido et Conano et Alano”, by undated charter[475]. "Alanus de Rohan" donated property to the abbey of Bon-Repos, with the consent of "Jocelino fratre meo…et filiis et heredibus meis Gaufrido, Conano et Alano", by charter dated 1204[476]. "Joscelinus vicecomes de Rohan" confirmed the foundation of Bonrepos abbey, for the souls of "mee et uxoris mee", with the consent of “nepotibus meis Gaufrido, Conano et Alano”, by charter dated 1213[477]. "Gaufredus vicecomes de Rohan" confirmed donations to Bonrepos abbey made by “avus meus Alanus vicecomes de Rohan et pater meus”, for the salvation of “Margaritæ uxoris meæ”, with the consent of "fratribus meis Oliverio et Alano", by charter dated 1216[478]. "Oliverius vicecomes de Rohan et Alanus frater eius" confirmed donations made to Bonrepos abbey by “avus noster Alanus senior et Alanus junior pater noster et Gaufridus frater noster quondam vicecomes de Rohan” by charter dated 1221[479]. "Olivarius vicecomes de Rohan" confirmed the donation made to Bonrepos abbey by “Eudo de Regueni miles...G. frater meus”, confirmed by “Alano alio fratre meo”, by charter dated 1223[480]. Vicomte de Rohan. "Gaufridus [...de Kemorz] filius Oliverii miles" and “dominum Alanum vicecomitem de Rohan militem” reached agreement regarding services by charter dated 1228[481]. "Petrus dux Britanniæ.comes Richemundiæ" guaranteed that, if “A. vicecomes de Rohan” lost land and revenues in England, he would be granted an equivalent amount in Brittany by charter dated Jun 1230[482]. m ELEONORE de Porhoët Dame de La Chèze, daughter of EUDES [III] Comte de Porhoët & his first wife --- (-after 24 Jun 1251). She married secondly as his second wife, Pierre de Chemillé. “Alienor vicecomitissa de Rohan” donated property to Bonrepos, with the consent of "domino Petro de Chumuleiaco marito meo et Alano de Rohan primogenito et herede meo", by charter dated Mar 1250[483]. "Petrum de Chemillie dominum Mauritanii et Alienor vicecomitissam de Rohan eius uxorem" reached agreement with the abbé de Saint-Jacut-des-Iles regarding a construction, by charter dated 24 Jun 1251[484].

a) ALAIN [VI] de Rohan (-1304). Vicomte de Rohan. "Alanus vicecomes de Rohan miles" distributed property inherited “per mortem Alani quondam vicecomitis de Rohan defuncti patris nostri...in regno Angliæ” to "filiis nostris Jocelino de Rohan et Guiardo de Rohan" by charter dated Aug 1299[485].

- see below.

6. [CATHERINE (-after Feb 1259). This person is speculative. "Catharina nobilis vidua filia Alani vicecomitis de Rohan" donated property to Bonrepos, with the consent of “filiæ meæ”, by charter dated 20 Sep 1230[486]. Another published version of the same charter names the donor "Catarina nobilis vidua Alani vicecomitis de Rohan", with the consent of "filie mee"[487]. It is not known which version is correct. "Catharina de Rohan" donated property to Bonrepos by charter dated 1235[488]. Presumably the following document relates to a daughter of Alain [IV] who is recorded elsewhere with a daughter named Héloise as shown above: "Domina Catharina de Rohan" confirmed the donation of “in decima de Querloys...in parochia de Noal” made to Bonrepos by “bonæ memoriæ Heloys sororis meæ” by charter dated Feb 1259[489]. Her possible husband is identified by the charter dated May 1270 under which [her daughter] “Adelicia filia Gaufridi de Henbont militis uxor Eudonis Picaut militis” donated property to Bon-Repos in accordance with the last wishes of “domina Katarina de Rohan mater mea”[490]. However, the date of this document is more consistent with the donor being the daughtrer of Alain [IV] by his supposed second marriage. m GEOFFROY de Henbont, son of --- (-before 20 Sep 1230).]

Alain [IV] & his [second] wife had [one child]:

7. [daughter . "Catarina nobilis vidua Alani vicecomitis de Rohan" donated property to the abbey of Bon-Repos, with the consent of "filie mee", by charter dated 1230[491]. Another published version of the same charter names the donor "Catharina nobilis vidua filia Alani vicecomitis de Rohan", with the consent of “filiæ meæ”, by charter dated 20 Sep 1230[492]. It is not known which version is correct. same person as...? VILAINE de Rohan . “Villana filia Alani vicecom. de Rohan relicta Ricardi domini de Rupe Jaguti” donated property "apud Guinebourg" to Bonrepos by charter dated Jan 1251[493]. The chronology suggests that Vilaine was the daughter of Alain [IV], in which case she could have been his possible unnamed daughter who is mentioned in the 1230 charter quoted above. m RICHARD Seigneur de Roche-Jagu, son of --- (-before Jan 1251). same person as...? CATHERINE de Rohan (-before May 1270). The chronology suggests that Catherine could also have been the same person as the possible unnamed daughter of Alain [IV] by his possible second marriage. The date of the May 1270 document quoted below is late to refer to the widow of Alain [IV], assuming that the donor’s mother died shortly before the donation in question and is more consistent with the donor being Alain [IV]’s daughter by his supposed second marriage. "Domina Catharina de Rohan" confirmed the donation of “in decima de Querloys...in parochia de Noal” made to Bonrepos by “bonæ memoriæ Heloys sororis meæ” by charter dated Feb 1259[494]. Her husband is identified by the charter dated May 1270 under which [her daughter] “Adelicia filia Gaufridi de Henbont militis uxor Eudonis Picaut militis” donated property to Bon-Repos in accordance with the last wishes of “domina Katarina de Rohan mater mea”[495]. m GEOFFROY de Henbont, son of ---.]

ALAIN [VI] de Rohan, son of ALAIN [V] Vicomte de Rohan & his wife Eléonore de Porhoët (-1304). "Alanus vicecomes de Rohan miles" confirmed a donation to Notre-Dame-de-Beauport, with the consent of "Ysabelle uxoris nostre", by charter dated 1260[496]. A charter dated Jan 1284 records that “Thomas de Chemillié escuyer” bought land “porvenantes de par Madame Aleonor ma mere” from “Monsour Alain vicomte de Rohan chevalier mon frere einzné”[497]. "Alanus vicecomes de Rohan miles" distributed property inherited “per mortem Alani quondam vicecomitis de Rohan defuncti patris nostri...in regno Angliæ” to "filiis nostris Jocelino de Rohan et Guiardo de Rohan" by charter dated Aug 1299[498].

C. SEIGNEURS de FOUGERES

MEEN [I] de Rennes, son of [JUDICAËL BERENGER Comte de Rennes & his wife Gerberge --- ] (-1020). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Seigneur de Fougères. "…Mainonis de Filgeriis…" signed the charter dated to [1015/32] under which "Alanus dux Britanniæ" donated property to the abbey of Marmoutier[627]. "Mainonis avi mei…Alfridus genitor meus" are named in the undated charter under which "Maino" donated property to Sainte-Trinité de Fougères[628].

m ---. The name of Méen's wife is not known.

Méen & his wife had one child:

1. ALFRED de Fougères (-1048). "Mainonis avi mei…Alfridus genitor meus" are named in the undated charter under which "Maino" donated property to Sainte-Trinité de Fougères[629]. He succeeded his father as Seigneur de Fougères. m ---. The name of Alfred's wife is not known. Alfred & his wife had one child:

a) MEEN [II] de Fougères (-before 1089, bur Fougères Sainte-Trinité). "…Maino Alfridi filio…" signed the charter dated to before 1038 under which "Guarinus Redonensis episcopus" donated property to Marmoutier, confirmed by "Alanus comes"[630]. "Maino" donated property to Sainte-Trinité de Fougères with the consent of "Adelaida coniuge mea et Eudoni filio nostro" by undated charter which names "Mainonis avi mei…Alfridus genitor meus"[631]. He succeeded his father as Seigneur de Fougères. "…Mainonis de Filgeriis…" witnessed the charter dated to [1055] under which Guillaume II Duke of Normandy donated property to the abbey of Marmoutier[632]. The Chronique de Normandie, based on le Roman de Rou, names "le sire de Fougieres" among those who took part in the conquest of England in 1066[633]. He became a monk before he died, as shown by the undated charter under which "Radulfus Filogerensis et uxor eius Avicia" donated property to Sainte-Trinité de Fougères naming "pater eius Maino monachus sancti Martini apud Hilduini mansile…in comitatu comitis Moritonii"[634]. His date of death is suggested by the charter dated 1089 under which "Radulfus de Filgeriis" confirmed the donation by "Guillelmus" to Sainte-Trinité de Fougères recites an earlier donation by "Maino de Filgeriis"[635]. This is supported by the charter dated 1092 under which "Radulfus de Filgeriis" donated property to Sainte-Trinité de Fougères, which includes a certification by "W Moretoniensis comes" that "M de Filgeriis et R eius filius" had made a donation to the same abbey[636], indicating presumably that the 1092 donation was a confirmation. His place of burial is proved by the undated charter recording the foundation of Sainte-Trinité de Fougères which recites that "Adelaidis" was buried in the priory next to "maritum suum Mainonem et filium suum Judhalem"[637]. m ADELAIDE, daughter of --- (----, bur Fougères Sainte-Trinité). "Adelaida coniuge mea et Eudoni filio nostro" consented to the donation by "Maino" to Sainte-Trinité de Fougères by undated charter which names "Mainonis avi mei…Alfridus genitor meus"[638]. "Matris meæ Adeladis…" consented to the donation by "Radulfus seculari militiæ mancipatus" to Sainte-Trinité de Fougères by undated charter[639]. She died after her husband, as shown by the evidence of the various charters cited here, but there is no indication of the date. An undated charter recording the foundation of Sainte-Trinité de Fougères recites that "Adelaidis" was buried in the priory next to "maritum suum Mainonem et filium suum Judhalem"[640]. Méen [II] & his wife had five children:

i) RAOUL [I] de Fougères (-1124). "Radulfus seculari militiæ mancipatus" donated property to Sainte-Trinité de Fougères with the consent of "matris meæ Adeladis et sororis meæ Godeheldis et fratres mei Heudo…et Johelis" by undated charter[641]. Domesday Book records land held by “Ralph de Feugeres” in Headley in Copthorne Hundred and Westcott in Wotton Hundred, Surrey, Twyford and Charnford in Mow Hundred in Buckinghamshire[642]. He succeeded his father as Seigneur de Fougères. "Alani comitis comitisseque Constantie" donated property to the abbey of Redon by charter dated 1089, witnessed by "Mathias comes Namnetis…Eudo vicecomes, Radulfus anglicus comes, Radulfus de Fulgeres…Budicus frater Hoelli comitis"[643]. "Radulfus Filogerensis et uxor eius Avicia" donated property to Sainte-Trinité de Fougères by undated charter which names "pater eius Maino", recording that he was "monachus sancti Martini apud Hilduini mansile…in comitatu comitis Moritonii"[644]. Henry I King of England confirmed that "Radulfus Filgeriensis" with "his wife Avitia and his sons Maino, Fransgualo, Henry and Robert" donated property to “domino Vitalis the hermit” for the monks at Sauvigny by charter dated 7 Mar 1113, subscribed by "Maino-franswalo filius eius, Henricus et Robertus similiter filii eius…"[645]. m AVICE de Clare, daughter of RICHARD FitzGilbert Lord of Clare & his wife Rohese Giffard of Buckingham . Guillaume de Jumièges records that "Richardum”, son of “Gislebertus...filius Godefridi comitis Aucensis”, had two daughters of whom one married “Rodulfo de Telegeriis” by whom she had “Fransualo, Henricus et Robertus Giffard”[646]. “Telegeriis” has not been identified: it is unlikely to be Tillières, normally represented as “Tegularias” or variants, which had been granted to Gilbert Crispin by Guillaume II Duke of Normandy. The same individuals are named in the charter dated 7 Mar 1113 quoted below, which indicates that the family was Fougères: presumably “Telegeriis” is a misreading or mistranscription. "Radulfus Filogerensis et uxor eius Avicia" donated property to Sainte-Trinité de Fougères by undated charter[647]. "Radulfus Filgeriensis" with "his wife Avitia" donated property to the abbey of Holy Trinity, Sauvigny by charter dated 7 Mar 1113, subscribed by "Maino-franswalo filius eius, Henricus et Robertus similiter filii eius…"[648]. Raoul [I] & his wife had three children:

(a) MEEN [III] [Frangalo] de Fougères (-1138). Guillaume de Jumièges records that "Richardum”, son of “Gislebertus...filius Godefridi comitis Aucensis”, had two daughters of whom one married “Rodulfo de Telegeriis” by whom she had “Fransualo, Henricus et Robertus Giffard”[649]. Henry I King of England confirmed that "Radulfus Filgeriensis" with "his wife Avitia and his sons Maino, Fransgualo, Henry and Robert" donated property to “domino Vitalis the hermit” for the monks at Sauvigny by charter dated 7 Mar 1113, subscribed by "Maino-franswalo filius eius, Henricus et Robertus similiter filii eius…"[650]. The witness list suggests that “Maino-franswalo” was one person, although the two names are listed separately in the extract from the body of the document given by Round. Whether they names represent two persons or not in therefore not known. He succeeded his father as Seigneur de Fougères.

(b) HENRI de Fougères (-1154). Guillaume de Jumièges records that "Richardum”, son of “Gislebertus...filius Godefridi comitis Aucensis”, had two daughters of whom one married “Rodulfo de Telegeriis” by whom she had “Fransualo, Henricus et Robertus Giffard”[651]. He succeeded his brother as Seigneur de Fougères.

(c) ROBERT (-after 1129). Guillaume de Jumièges records that "Richardum”, son of “Gislebertus...filius Godefridi comitis Aucensis”, had two daughters of whom one married “Rodulfo de Telegeriis” by whom she had “Fransualo, Henricus et Robertus Giffard”[652]. Henry I King of England confirmed that "Radulfus Filgeriensis" with "his wife Avitia and his sons Maino, Fransgualo, Henry and Robert" donated property to “domino Vitalis the hermit” for the monks at Sauvigny by charter dated 7 Mar 1113, subscribed by "Maino-franswalo filius eius, Henricus et Robertus similiter filii eius…"[653]. same person as...?[654] ROBERT Giffard (-after 1129). Henry I King of England awarded him the lordship of Weare, Devonshire before 1129[655].

- UNTITLED ENGLISH NOBILITY - GIFFARD.

ii) EUDES . "Adelaida coniuge mea et Eudoni filio nostro" consented to the donation by "Maino" to Sainte-Trinité de Fougères by undated charter which names "Mainonis avi mei…Alfridus genitor meus"[656]. "…Fratres mei Heudo…et Johelis" consented to the donation by "Radulfus seculari militiæ mancipatus" to Sainte-Trinité de Fougères by undated charter[657].

iii) JUHAËL . "…Fratres mei Heudo…et Johelis" consented to the donation by "Radulfus seculari militiæ mancipatus" to Sainte-Trinité de Fougères by undated charter[658]. His place of burial is proved by the undated charter recording the foundation of Sainte-Trinité de Fougères which recites that "Adelaidis" was buried in the priory next to "maritum suum Mainonem et filium suum Judhalem"[659]. This suggests that Juhaël predeceased his mother.

iv) GODEHILDIS . "…Sororis meæ Godeheldis…" consented to the donation by "Radulfus seculari militiæ mancipatus" to Sainte-Trinité de Fougères by undated charter[660].

v) JUNARDAUDIS . "Radulfo de Filgerius" consented to the donation by "Pinellus" to Sainte-Trinité de Fougères by undated charter which names "Junardaudis sororis suæ"[661].

1. FRANGALO, son of --- . Seigneur de Fougères. The parentage of Frangalo is not known. However, he must have been related to this family as the same unusual name was given to one of the younger sons of Henri Seigneur de Fougères (see below). The chronology suggests that he may have been a son or brother of Alfred Seigneur de Fougères. m [as her first husband,] CANA, daughter of GELDUIN Seigneur de Saumur & his [first] wife Gerberge du Perche. The Gesta Ambaziensium names "Gosfridum…Puella vocatus…sororem Chanam" as children of "Gelduinus vir nobilis ex genere Danorum", specifying that Cana married "Frangalo Filgeriarum dominus" and had many sons and daughters[662]. It is not certain that this Cana was the same Cana as the sister of "Gosfridus de Calvo Monte" whose daughter "Dionisiam" married "Supplicio Lisoii filio"[663]. However, the burial of Denise at Pontlevoy, founded by Cana's parents, suggests that this is probably correct. It is possible that this is the same person as Cana, daughter of Gelduin Seigneur de Pontlevoie, who married as his second wife, Raoul [V] Vicomte de Beaumont. If this is correct, her marriage to Vicomte Raoul would probably have been her second marriage. Frangalo & his wife had one child:

a) DENISE (-28 Apr after 1081, bur Pontlevoy). The Gesta Ambaziensium names "Gosfridus de Calvo Monte…neptam suam sororis suæ Chanæ filiam…Dionisiam" as the wife of "Supplicio Lisoii filio"[664]. The Gesta Ambaziensium records the death "IV Kal Mai" of "Dionisia…coniux [Supplicio]" and her burial "Pontilevi iuxta parentes"[665]. m SULPICE [I] Seigneur d'Amboise, son of LISOIS Seigneur de Bazoges & his wife Hersende de Buzançais (-1 Jun [1081], bur Pontlevoy).

1. GUILLAUME de Fougères (-after 1085). Domesday Book records “William de Feugeres” holding Turweston in Stotfold Hundred in Buckinghamshire[666].

HENRI de Fougères, son of RAOUL [I] Seigneur de Fougères & his wife --- (-1154). Guillaume de Jumièges records that "Richardum”, son of “Gislebertus...filius Godefridi comitis Aucensis”, had two daughters of whom one married “Rodulfo de Telegeriis” by whom she had “Fransualo, Henricus et Robertus Giffard”[667]. Henry I King of England confirmed that "Radulfus Filgeriensis" with "his wife Avitia and his sons Maino, Fransgualo, Henry and Robert" donated property to “domino Vitalis the hermit” for the monks at Sauvigny by charter dated 7 Mar 1113, subscribed by "Maino-franswalo filius eius, Henricus et Robertus similiter filii eius…"[668]. He succeeded his brother as Seigneur de Fougères. The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Henr de Filger" in Wiltshire[669]. “Henricus...dominus Filgeriarum...et Radulfus filius meus” donated water and milling rights, and confirmed the donatiuon made by “Radulfus de Fulgeriis pater meus”, to Savignyby charter dated 1150[670]. He became a monk at Sauvigny in 1150[671].

m as her first husband, OLIVE de Penthièvre, daughter of ETIENNE [I] Comte de Penthièvre & his wife Havise de Guingamp. "Radulfus Filgeriensis dominus" founded Rillé abbey, confirming donations made by "Aufredus de Filgeriis et Maino proavus meus et Aaledis uxor sua et Radulfus avus meus...Henricus pater meus" to Fougères, with the consent of “fratribus meis Frangalo et Guillermo”, by undated charter, which also records a donation made by “Oliva mater mea”[672]. Her two marriages are confirmed by the charter dated 1174 under which "Olive daughter of Count Stephen" donated the church of Bennington to the abbey of Sauvigny, with the consent of "Guillelmus de Sancto Johanne maritus meus and Ralf de Filgeriis and her other sons"[673]. She married secondly, as his first wife, Guillaume Seigneur de Saint-Jean.

Henri & his wife had five children:

1. RAOUL [II] de Fougères (-Sauvigny 16 May 1194). He succeeded his father in 1154 as Seigneur de Fougères. "…Radulfo de Filgeriis…" witnessed the charter dated to 1155 or before under which "Conanus dux Britannie et comes Richemundie" donated "ecclesiam de Gaituna" to Kirkstead Abbey[674]. "Radulfus Filgeriensis dominus" founded Rillé abbey, confirming donations made by "Aufredus de Filgeriis et Maino proavus meus et Aaledis uxor sua et Radulfus avus meus...Henricus pater meus" to Fougères, with the consent of “fratribus meis Frangalo et Guillermo”, by undated charter, which also records a donation made by “Oliva mater mea”[675]. "Radulfus, Filgeriarum dominus, Henrici Filgeriensis domini filius" granted property to "Roberto aurifabro de Kuetehou" for a factory by undated charter, witnessed by "W. de Filgeriis fratre meo, Herveio de Vitreio…"[676]. He captured Eudes de Porhoët, regent of Brittany, in 1155 which brought Conan IV Duke of Brittany to power. "Radulfus Fulgeriensis dominus et fratres mei Fransgalo et Guillelmus et Robertus et filii mei Juhelli et Guillelmus" donated property to Sauvigny by charter dated 1163[677]. He opposed Henry II King of England in Brittany, for which he lost his English revenues between 1166 and 1173. King Henry destroyed the castle of Fougères, which Raoul rebuilt in 1173. The Annales Cestrienses record in 1173 that “Henricus tertius Rex Anglie filius Henrici Regis Anglie” captured “patrem suum” with the help of “duobus comitibus Anglie...Hugone comite Cestrensi et Roberto comite Leicestrie”, adding that “Hugo comes Cestrie” was captured “apud Dol in Britanniam...cum Radulpho de Feugis”[678]. He was seneschal of Brittany under King Henry's son Duke Geoffroy[679]. "Alanus vicecomes de Rohan…cum uxore mea Constantia" founded the abbey of Bon-Repos by charter dated 23 Jun 1184, witnessed by "Radulphi Filgeriarum domni…Hamelino de Meduana…Herveio de Vitreio…"[680]. "Radulfo de Filgeriis, Allano de Rohan, Rollando de Dinanno…" witnessed the charter dated to [1185/86] under which "Gaufridus Henrici regis filius, dux Britannie, comes Richemont" confirmed the donations to the abbey of Pont-Pillard by its founders "Rollando et Allano de Dinanno"[681]. Matthew of Paris records the death at Acre in 1191 of "Randulfus de Fulgeres"[682], which is contradicted by the Chronicon Savigniacensis Monasterii which records the death "XVII Kal Jun" in 1194 of "Radulfus de Filgeriis apud Savigneium"[683]. m MATHILDE, daughter of ---. Domesday Descendants suggests that she was the possible daughter of Juhaël de Mayenne[684], presumably based only on her giving this name to her eldest son. She is named in her husband's charter for Missenden Abbey[685]. Raoul [II] & his wife had five children:

a) JUHAËL de Fougères (-after 1173). "Radulfus Fulgeriensis dominus et fratres mei Fransgalo et Guillelmus et Robertus et filii mei Juhelli et Guillelmus" donated property to Sauvigny by charter dated 1163[686].

b) GUILLAUME de Fougères (-7 Jun 1187). "Radulfus Fulgeriensis dominus et fratres mei Fransgalo et Guillelmus et Robertus et filii mei Juhelli et Guillelmus" donated property to Sauvigny by charter dated 1163[687].

- see below.

c) HENRI de Fougères . The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.

d) MARGUERITE de Fougères (-after 25 Jul 1204). The marriage contract between “Galeranum filium Roberti comitis Mellenti” and “Margaritam filiam Radulfi de Feugeriis”, Robert granting revenue from “Brionium integre” (except “præter feodum Roberti de Haricuria, et præter feodum Rogerii de Planes et Sahurs integre”) and “.in Willebod” as dower, and her father granting “terram suam de Beniterone” [Bennington, Lincolnshire] as dowry and before that land was freed “Quinteronium” [which Stapleton suggested was Ipplepen, Devon[688], transcribed as “Ipplepane” by Delisle & Passy in their transcription of the same charter[689]] which would thereafter revert to Raoul de Fougères, is dated 25 Dec 1189, stating that she would retain the marriage portion given with her to “Willelmo Bertranno” which after her death would revert to “Bertranni filii Willelmi Bertranni” and, if the latter died without heirs, to Raoul de Fougères[690]. Stapleton highlights that the marriage contract provided for his widow’s dower if Waléran died (it suggests he was planning to go to Jerusalem: “si contigerit quod Galerannus arripiat iter apud Jerusalem”) and any heir born of the marriage "should remain in the power of comte Robert" who would “appoint him heir of all his honour and land...except the land which comte Robert is about to give in marriage to his daughter”[691]. Marguerite returned to Brittany some time after her second husband died, and was deprived of her property as shown by the following documents. King John granted “manerium de Spelepenne qd fuit uxor Walerami de Medlent añq Ric de Haracrt” dated 22 May 1203[692]. A writ dated 7 Feb 1203 (O.S.?) ordered land "which had belonged to Margaret filia Willemi [error for Radulphi] de Feugeriis, who was with the Britons [=Bretons]" to be given to “Richard d’Harcourt”, while another writ dated 12 Feb 1203 (O.S.?) ordered payment of rent “qui fuit Margarete uxoris quondam Waleranni de Mellent, sororis Willelmi [error for filiæ Radulphi?] de Feugeriis, que est cum Britonibus” to Richard d’Harcourt[693]. The following document suggests that Marguerite was still alive at the time: "Dominum Willelmum de Filgeriis" and "Gaufridum de Filg. nepotem suum" settled a dispute “super feodo Rad. de Filgeriis et Olivæ matris suæ”, under which Geoffroy ceded “Coglesium...Marcilleium...terras et totum feodum de Anglia excepto maritagio dominæ Margaritæ” to his great-uncle for life, by charter dated 25 Jul 1204[694]. m firstly (1179) GUILLAUME Bertrand, son of [ROBERT [III] Bertrand Seigneur de Bricquebec & his wife ---]. m secondly (contract 25 Dec 1189) WALERAN de Meulan, son of ROBERT Comte de Meulan & his wife Matilda of Cornwall ([1166/67?]-after 7 Jan [1195/96]).

e) MABILE de Fougères . The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. "Alanus juvenis de Rohan" confirmed donations made to Bonrepos abbey, for the salvation of "Mabiliæ uxoris meæ", with the consent of “filiis meis Gaufrido et Conano et Alano”, by undated charter[695]. m [as his first wife,] ALAIN [IV] Vicomte de Rohan, son of ALAIN [III] Vicomte de Rohan & his first wife Constance de Penthièvre (-27 Oct 1205).

2. FRANGALO de Fougères (-after 1163). "Radulfus Filgeriensis dominus" founded Rillé abbey, confirming donations made by "Aufredus de Filgeriis et Maino proavus meus et Aaledis uxor sua et Radulfus avus meus...Henricus pater meus" to Fougères, with the consent of “fratribus meis Frangalo et Guillermo”, by undated charter, which also records a donation made by “Oliva mater mea”[696]. "Radulfus Fulgeriensis dominus et fratres mei Fransgalo et Guillelmus et Robertus et filii mei Juhelli et Guillelmus" donated property to Sauvigny by charter dated 1163[697].

3. GUILLAUME de Fougères "William the Angevin" (-20 Dec 1212). "Radulfus Filgeriensis dominus" founded Rillé abbey, confirming donations made by "Aufredus de Filgeriis et Maino proavus meus et Aaledis uxor sua et Radulfus avus meus...Henricus pater meus" to Fougères, with the consent of “fratribus meis Frangalo et Guillermo”, by undated charter, which also records a donation made by “Oliva mater mea”[698]. "Radulfus Fulgeriensis dominus et fratres mei Fransgalo et Guillelmus et Robertus et filii mei Juhelli et Guillelmus" donated property to Sauvigny by charter dated 1163[699]. "Radulfus, Filgeriarum dominus, Henrici Filgeriensis domini filius" granted property to "Roberto aurifabro de Kuetehou" for a factory by undated charter, witnessed by "W. de Filgeriis fratre meo, Herveio de Vitreio…"[700]. Stapleton records that Guillaume inherited the manor of Long Bennington, Lincolnshire from his mother[701]. He acquired the family property at Twyford in Buckinghamshire[702]. He administered Fougères during the minority of his great-nephew: an undated charter records that "Willelmus de Filgeriis...tempore que administrationem terræ Filgeriarum habebamus" confirmed a donation made by "Hamo Villicus" to Marmoutier[703]. Stapleton records that, by agreement dated 7 Oct 1200, Guillaume and his great-nephew Geoffroy de Fougères, the former would hold “the whole land of Fougères” for 5 years from Christmas 1201, after which period it would revert to Geoffroy, but that 27 Jan 1203 King John confiscated “Hudimesnil” from Guillaume for defecting to the French camp[704]. "Dominum Willelmum de Filgeriis" and "Gaufridum de Filg. nepotem suum" settled their dispute “super feodo Rad. de Filgeriis et Olivæ matris suæ”, under which Geoffroy ceded “Coglesium [Coglès]...Marcilleium [Marcillé]...terras et totum feodum de Anglia excepto maritagio dominæ Margaritæ” to his great-uncle for life, by charter dated 25 Jul 1204[705]. Philippe II King of France confirmed an agreement between “Geoffroi de Fougères” and “Guillaume son oncle” by charter dated [Sep/Oct] 1207[706]. The Chronicon Savigniacensis Monasterii records the death "XIII Kal Jan" in 1212 of "Willelmus de Filgeriis, filius Henrici"[707]. m ---. No indication has been found about the name of Guillaume’s wife. It is possible that his suggested son named below was illegitimate: the sources show that Guillaume enjoyed a sufficiently powerful position in England and Brittany to exercise influence in favour of any children, legitimate or illegitimate. Guillaume [& his wife] had [one possible child]:

a) [RAOUL de Fougères . The Red Book of the Exchequer includes a 1211/12 list of fiefs in Devon, among which "comes Cestriæ [Ranulf de Blundeville Earl of Chester, husband of Clemence de Fougères named below], Ipelepen, escaeta Radulfi de Feugeres"[708]. “Radulfi de Feugeres” has not been identified. Raoul [III] Seigneur de Fougères was a minor when he succeeded his father Geoffroy in 1212 (see below) and is unlikely to have been the named fiefholder of Ipplepen before that date. Perhaps the fiefholder of Ippelpen was an otherwise unrecorded son of Guillaume de Fougères who had inherited Ipplepen from his mother and acquired all other English properties of the Fougères family in 1204 (see above): Gullaume was evidently powerful enough to have his son enfeoffed in one of them. The 1211/12 list records that the fief had been escheated from Raoul, presumably because he had supported the French cause against the English king during the war over Normandy in 1204/05.]

4. ROBERT de Fougères (-after 1163). "Radulfus Fulgeriensis dominus et fratres mei Fransgalo et Guillelmus et Robertus et filii mei Juhelli et Guillelmus" donated property to Sauvigny by charter dated 1163[709].

5. CLEMENCE de Fougères (-1194 or after). Robert of Torigny records that "Robertus de Monte Forti" married "sorore Radulfi de Fulgeriis"[710]. A charter dated 1189 records the right of the abbey of Bec-Hellouin to choose the priest for the church of Saint-Ymer "in die…sepulture Roberti iuvenis de Monteforti fratris Hugonis de Monteforti" at the request of "matris sue Clementie", naming "Robertus pater suus"[711]. "Clemens de Monteforti" donated property to Saint-Ymer by charter dated 1194[712]. m ROBERT Seigneur de Montfort-sur-Risle, son of HUGUES van Gent Seigneur de Montfort-sur-Risle & his wife Adeline de Beaumont (-1178).

GUILLAUME de Fougères, son of RAOUL [II] Seigneur de Fougères & his wife Mathilde --- (-7 Jun 1187). "Radulfus Fulgeriensis dominus et fratres mei Fransgalo et Guillelmus et Robertus et filii mei Juhelli et Guillelmus" donated property to Sauvigny by charter dated 1163[713]. The Chronicon Savigniacensis Monasterii records the death "VII Id Jun" in 1187 of "Willelmus filius Radulfi Filgeriarum"[714].

m as her first husband, AGATHA du Hommet, daughter of [RICHARD du Hommet & his wife Agnes de Say]. Her first marriage and parentage are confirmed by the Chronicon Savigniacensis Monasterii which records the death "XVIII Kal Jul" in 1212 of "Gaufridus dominus Filgeriarum, filius Willelmi et Agathæ, filiæ Willelmi de Humeto"[715]. The primary source which confirms that Richard was her father has not yet been identified, but from a chronological point of view this appears likely to be correct. She married secondly Fulk [II] Paynel[716]. Her second marriage is indicated by the charter dated Mar [1230/31] under which “Fulco Paganelli” gave security to Louis IX King of France on behalf of “Radulpho de Filgeriis nepoti meo” relating to “terram suam in Normannia”[717].

Guillaume & his wife had two children:

1. GEOFFROY de Fougères (-1212). The Chronicon Savigniacensis Monasterii records the death "XVIII Kal Jul" in 1212 of "Gaufridus dominus Filgeriarum, filius Willelmi et Agathæ, filiæ Willelmi de Humeto"[718]. He succeeded his grandfather in 1196 as Seigneur de Fougères. "Dominum Willelmum de Filgeriis" and "Gaufridum de Filg. nepotem suum" settled their dispute “super feodo Rad. de Filgeriis et Olivæ matris suæ”, under which Geoffroy ceded “Coglesium [Coglès]...Marcilleium [Marcillé]...terras et totum feodum de Anglia excepto maritagio dominæ Margaritæ” to his great-uncle for life, by charter dated 25 Jul 1204[719]. The Scripta de Feodis of King Philippe II, dated to the early 13th century, record “...Gaufridus de Filgeriis...” among “milites Britanniæ”[720]. Philippe II King of France confirmed an agreement between “Geoffroi de Fougères” and “Guillaume son oncle” by charter dated [Sep/Oct] 1207[721]. m MATHILDE de Porhoët, daughter of EUDES Vicomte de Porhoët & his first wife ---. An undated charter records an agreement between "Willelmum de Filgeriis filium Henrici de Filgeriis" and "Eudonem filium comitis et Gaufridum de Castro Brientii et Willelmum de Guirchia" relating to the marriage of “Gaufridi de Filgeriis” and “filia prædicti Eudonis filii comitis”[722]. The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified. She succeeded her father as Vicomtesse de Porhoët. Geoffroy & his wife had one child:

a) RAOUL [III] de Fougères (-24 Feb 1257, bur Sauvigny). His parentage is confirmed by his burial entry (see below). He succeeded his father in 1212 as Seigneur de Fougères. “Fulco Paganelli” gave security to Louis IX King of France on behalf of “Radulpho de Filgeriis nepoti meo” relating to “terram suam in Normannia” by charter dated Mar [1230/31][723]. "Willelmus Paganellus" reached agreement with “Radulphum de Feugeriis nepotem meum” concerning sales of property “in villa de Heudoimesnil” made by “pater meus Fulco Pag. defunctus”, by charter dated 1233[724]. "Herveus vicecomes de Leonia" transferred “villa de Brest et castrum” to “Johannem ducem Brit. et com. Richem.” by charter dated Mar 1239[725]. "Joannes dux Britanniæ comes Richemondiæ" confirmed the agreement between “Radulphus dominus Filgeriarum” and “avunculus noster Petrus de Chemilly” concerning property of which “habebit prædictus Radulphus duas partes et prædictus Petrus et soror uxoris eius tertiam partem” by charter dated Sep 1239[726]. A charter dated Nov 1248 records a third division of the inheritance of “monseignour Eun fils le Comte” between "Raol seigneur de Fougieres, Pierres de Chemillé seigneur de Brochessac et Alienor sa femme, et Ollivier de Montauban et Joanne sa femme", including “quand il avendra que le doaire Margarite qui fut femme monseignor Eun filz le Comte escherra après la mort d´icelle, le hebergement de la Ville Jagu et le Plessix”[727]. The Chronicon Savigniacense records the death "VI Kal Mar" in 1256 (O.S.?) of "Radulphus Dominus Filgeriarum filius Gaufridi Domini Filgeriarum" and his burial at Sauvigny[728]. m ISABELLE de Craon, daughter of AMAURY [I] Seigneur de Craon & his wife Jeanne de Roche (after 1223-after 1271). Isabelle was born after the 1223 betrothal of her sister Jeanne, who was then described as "filiam unicam". "Radulfum Fulgerium…et nobilis domina de Sabolio et Credone" agreed the marriage of "dom. Fulgeriarum" and "Isabella filia bonæ memoriæ Amauritii quondam domini Credonii" by charter dated Feb 1233[729]. Her name is confirmed by the Chronicon Savigniacense which records the birth of "Isabella uxorelicti Radulphi filium Iohannem" in 1230[730]. "Isabella de Credonio domina de Castro Josselini, Cogleserum et Agon, Constanciensis diocesis, vidua" donated property to the chapter of Coutances by charter dated 1271[731]. Raoul [III] & his wife had two children:

i) JEAN de Fougères (6 Dec ---- -6 Dec ----). The Chronicon Savigniacense records the birth "die sancti Nicolai" in 1230 of "Isabella uxorelicti Radulphi filium Iohannem" and his death the same day[732]. The year must be incorrect if Isabelle’s birth date is correctly shown above.

ii) JEANNE de Fougères (-after 1273, bur Sauvigny). The Chronicon Savigniacense records the marriage "IV Kal Feb" in 1253 of "Hugues Comes Marchiæ" and "Iohannam unicam filiam Radulfi Domini Filgeriarum in dicto castro"[733]. Dame de Fougères. m (Fougères 29 Jan 1254) HUGUES [XIII] Seigneur de Lusignan Comte de la Marche et d’Angoulême, son of HUGUES [XII] "le Brun" Seigneur de Lusignan, Comte de la Marche et d'Angoulême & his wife Yolande de Bretagne (-shortly after 25 Aug 1270). Seigneur de Fougères, by right of his wife.

2. CLEMENCE de Fougères (-1252). The primary source which confirms her first marriage has not yet been identified. The Annales Cestrienses record in 1200 that “Rannulphus comes Cestrie”, having left “comitissa Britannie...Constancia”, married “filiam Radulphi de Feugis”[734]. King John confirmed "manerio de Belinton" made by "Gaufr de Fulgeriis" to "R. com Cestr…in maritagio cum Clementia sorore sua" by charter dated 29 May 1204[735]. King John instructed the sheriff of Devon to grant “saisina…manerio de Iplepenn qd ei descendit ut dic ex pte Clemencie ux sue q fuit filia Willi de Feugieres” to “R. Com Cestr”, and the sheriff of Buckingham “manerio de Witleford”, dated 6 Jun 1213[736]. The Annals of Burton record the death “post Natale Domini” in 1252 of “Clementia comitissa de Rependun relicta…Ranulfi quondam comitis Cestriæ”[737]. A writ of certiorari dated 26 Jan "55 Hen III", was issued by "Ralph de Krumbewell and Margaret his wife, John le Straunge and Joan his wife, Walter de Suly and Mabel his wife, and Henry de Erdington and Maud his wife" concerning lands of "Clemence sometime countess of Chester…taken into the king´s hands upon her death by reason of the minority of the said Ralph her heir, lately deceased, of whom the said Margaret, Joan, Mabel and Maud claim to be heirs"[738]. m firstly ALAIN de Vitré Seigneur de Dinan, son of ROBERT Seigneur de Vitré & his wife Emma de Dinan. m secondly (before 7 Oct 1200) as his second wife, RANULF "de Blundeville" Earl of Chester, son of HUGH Earl of Chester & his wife Bertrade de Montfort (Oswestry, Powys [1170]-Wallingford 28 Oct 1232, bur 3 Nov 1232 Chester, Abbey of St Werburgh).

D. SEIGNEURS de LA GUERCHE [en-BRETAGNE], SEIGNEURS de POUANCE

The commune of Pouancé is located about five kilometres east of Châteaubriand in the present-day French arrondissement of Segré, département of Maine-et-Loire, about 40 kilometres south-east of Rennes. Pouancé was referred to as Poëncy in older secondary sources. La Guerche-de-Bretagne lies about 20 kilometres north of Pouancé, arrondissement Fougères-Vitré, département of Ille-et-Vilaine. .

1. GAUTHIER ”Hay” de la Guerche (-after 1094). Seigneur de la Guerche. Du Paz quotes a charter which records (1) that “dominum Gualtherium Hay et Basiliam eius uxorem” founded the priory of la Madeleine de Pouancé in 1094 and (2) that “dominum Guillelmum de Guirchia filium domini Gaufridi de Pouëncio” agreed with Marmoutiers the number of monks at the monastery in 1278[739]. m BASILIE, daughter of --- (-after 1094). Du Paz quotes a charter which records (1) that “dominum Gualtherium Hay et Basiliam eius uxorem” founded the priory of la Madeleine de Pouancé in 1094 and (2) that “dominum Guillelmum de Guirchia filium domini Gaufridi de Pouëncio” agreed with Marmoutiers the number of monks at the monastery in 1278[740]. Gauthier & his wife had one child:

a) EMMA de la Guerche (-after 1 Apr 1161). Le Baud records that “Gaultier Hay sieur de la Guerche, homme lige de André de Vitré” had three daughters of whom the eldest “Emmé” married firstly “Iuhael fils Thechel de Chasteaubriand” and secondly Robert de Vitré[741]. The primary source which confirms her parentage and first marriage has not been identified. "Robertus dominus Vitreii" granted property to Sauvigny with the consent of "Andrea filio meo et Emma matre mea et Emma uxore mea" by charter dated 1 Apr 1161[742]. m firstly as his second wife, JUHAEL Seigneur de Châteaubriand, son of TIHERN de Châteaubriand & his wife --- (-[1120]). m secondly ROBERT [II] Seigneur de Vitré, son of ANDRÉ [I] Seigneur de Vitré & his wife Emma de Mortain.

Two brothers. The primary source which confirms their parentage has not been identified. The inheritance by Guillaume of the seigneurie de la Guerche suggests a family relationship with Gauthier Hay Seigneur de la Guerche (see above). One possibility is that he was the son of Gauthier´s daughter Emma. If that is correct, he would presumably have been born from her first marriage as there is no indication that la Guerche passed to the family of Robert de Vitré, her second husband. However, out of the names typical of the Châteaubriand family (Briand, Juhael, Tihern, Geoffroy), only Geoffroy is found in the family of the later seigneurs de la Guerche and this is a relatively common name which is connected with many other families. The name Hamon, borne by Guillaume´s brother, is also not associated with the Châteaubriand family. On balance, unless another primary source emerges which confirms the relationship, the indications of descent from the Châteaubriand family are weak.

1. GUILLAUME de la Guerche (-1162). "Guarinus dominus Credonensium" donated property to La Roë, in the presence of "Guillelmus de Guierchia…De hominibus Guillermi de Guierchia, Hamo frater eius...", by undated charter[743]. “...Guillelmo de Guirchia...” witnessed the charter dated 1148 under which Conan III Duke of Brittany donated property to Savigny[744].

"Dominus de Guerchia [...Guillelmus]", on leaving for Jerusalem, donated property to Saint Nicolas de Guerche with "duo eius filii Gauffridus et Hugo", by charter dated 1156, witnessed by “Mauricius de Credone...”[745]. m MARQUISE de Craon, daughter of HUGUES Seigneur de Craon & his second wife Marquise ---. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 1162 under which "Mauritius de Credonio" donated property to "monachis sancti Melanii", at the request of "Marquisiæ matris meæ et Gaufredi de Poëncio nepotis mei et Paganus de Vegia", signed by "Gaufrido de Poencio nepote meo, Hugone de Guirchia fratre suo, Pagano de Vegia et Marquisia matre mea eius uxore…"[746]. Her husband is identified from reading this charter with the charter dated 1156 in which he and their two older sons are named. The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified. Hugues & his wife had three children:

a) GEOFFROY de la Guerche [de Pouancé] (-[1195]). "Dominus de Guerchia [...Guillelmus]", on leaving for Jerusalem, donated property to Saint Nicolas de Guerche with "duo eius filii Gauffridus et Hugo", by charter dated 1156, witnessed by “Mauricius de Credone...”[747].

The name of Geoffroy´s wife is not known. His identification, and that of his descendants, with Pouancé suggests that he may have inherited the seigneurie by right of his wife. Geoffroy & his wife had one child:

i) GUILLAUME de la Guerche (-after [Apr 1214]). "Willelmus de Guichia filius Gaufredi de Poënceio" settled a dispute with Marmoutier, with the consent of "Hersendis uxoris meæ", by undated charter[749].

She was the sister of Dameta, wife of Raoul Seigneur de Montfort [en Bretagne]: [her son] “Gauffridus de Poenceio” confirmed the donation made to Saint-Jacques de Montfort, made by “Radulphus dominus de Monteforti et Dometa uxor sua matertera mea” for the soul of “Gauffridi de Monteforti deffuncti eorundem filii”, by charter dated Apr 1223 (which also states that the donor´s mother was deceased at the time)[760]. Guillaume & his wife had two children:

"Gaufridus de Ponceio" and “Andream de Vitreio” made a peace agreement by charter dated Apr 1227[766]. "Gaufridus de Puenceio dominus de Guerchia" donated property to Fontaine-Harvis by charter dated 1238[767]. m ---. The name of Geoffroy´s wife is not known. Geoffroy & his wife had one child:

(1) THOMASSE de Pouancé (-after 1272). The marriage contract between "Gaufridus de Poenceio dominus Guirchiæ...Thomasia filia mea" and “Andreæ domino Vitreii” is dated Jan 1240[768]. The primary source which confirms her second marriage has not yet been identified. m firstly (contract Jan 1240) as his second wife, ANDRE [III] Seigneur de Vitré, son of ANDRE [II] Seigneur de Vitré & his [third] wife Eustachie --- (-Mansurah 8 Feb 1250). m secondly as his second wife, GUY [VII] de Montmorency-Laval, son of MATHIEU [II] Seigneur de Montmorency & his second wife Emma de Laval (-[1267]).

c) PIERRE de la Guerche . "Mauritius de Credone filius Hugonis" appointed "Petrum de Guierchia" as guardian of his lands and his children, if his wife and daughter died, in his undated testament when leaving for Jerusalem, and provided for "Petrus…de Garnachio" to inherit his property if his other heirs died[773].

Four brothers. Their parentage has not been identified. Considering the chronology of the marriage of Geoffroy with Emma de Château-Gonthier, his birth could be estimated to [1230]. If that is correct, there is no obvious fit with the earlier la Guerche/Pouancé family which is shown above:

1. GEOFFROY de Pouancé (-after 4 May 1263). Seigneur de la Guerche. The testament of "Gaufridus de Poenceio", dated 4 May 1263, which names "…Petrum de Poncé militem, Hugonem et Theobaldum de Poencé, fratres meos…" among his executors, and gives "filia mea primogenita…in custodia domini Guidonis de Valle militis"[775]. m as her first husband, EMMA [Anne] de Château-Gonthier, daughter of JACQUES Seigneur Château-Gonthier et de Nogent-le-Rotrou & his wife Avoise de Laval (-after Feb 1268). "Petrus filius Johannis comitis Britanie" granted "castellaniam de Veuz" to "Anne uxori Girardi Chabotz domini Radesiarum, filie primogenite deffuncti Jacobi quondam domini Castri Gonterii et Nogenti Rotrodi" in exchange for "castro…de Nogento Rotrodi" by charter dated 13 Jun 1265[776]. "Emme fille e heir feu James de Cheteau Gontier, femme jadis feu Gefrei de Pouencé" donated "la chastelenie de Veuz" to "Girart Chabot son…espous" by charter dated Jan 1266[777]. A charter dated Feb 1268 records an agreement between "Jehanne de Poencé fille et hoir feu Jeffroy de Poencé" and "Girart Chabot seigneur de Rays et de Chasteaugontier et Emme sa femme, jadis femme dudit feu Jeffroy" concerning the dower of Emma[778]. She married secondly ([4 May 1263/13 Jun 1265]) as his first wife, Gérard [II] Chabot. "Emma domina Castri Gonterii" donated "terciam partem tocius terre mee" to "Girardo Chaboz valleto domino Radesiarum" if "Theobaldi filii mei" died without heirs by charter dated Dec 1268[779]. "Girart Chabotz chevalier sire de Rays et de Machecoul" donated income from "Port Durant à Coiron en Chevecher", previously enjoyed by "Brient Beuf ot en mariaige o…Bellassez jadiz sa femme, seur dud…Girart", to "Jehan de Coché, vallet, sgr de la Benaste et Eustaice sa femme, fille dud…Girart", and to Eustachie "la terre dever feue Anne jadis sa mère" while reserving rights to "Jehan de Beaumont et Jehanne de Pancé sa femme, fille de lad. Anne et seur à lad. Eustaice", by charter dated Mar 1285[780]. The confusion in the different sources between Anne and Emma as the name of the first wife of Gérard [II] Chabot is probably due to transcription errors, as the two names probably appear similar in original manuscripts.

G. SEIGNEURS de VITRE

The history of the Vitré family can be reconstructed with a certain degree of confidence from numerous charters which are quoted below. The early 17th century Chroniques de Vitré of Pierre Le Baud introduce some additional elements[860]. While these have been referenced below, Le Baud’s reliability is difficult to assess. He mentions sources in support of some of his information but provides no citation references, while in some cases the data is clearly disproved by the charters. According to Le Baud, Rivallon was the son of “Martin de Rennes...d’une noble dame que l’histoire ne nomme point”[861]. He connects Martin with the Breton ducal family but cites no source supporting his statements. The name Martin is found only once among Rivallon’s known descendants. Le Baud’s information should presumably be treated with caution.

1. RIVALLON (-[1034] or after, bur [Rennes Saint-Georges]). "…Rivalloni vicarii, Triscanni…" signed the charter dated to [1013/22] under which "Alanus et Egio Britannorum monarchi" founded the priory of Livré "in pago Redonensi"[862].

"Rivellonius proviniciæ Redonensis miles cum Junargande coniuge mea" founded the priory of Marcillé, with the authority of "Alanus comes dominus meus", by charter dated to [1015/32], signed by "…Rivelloni vicarii, Driscamni filii eius, Gaufredi similiter eiusdem filii…"[875].

The relationship, if any, between the following family group and the main Vitré family has not been ascertained.

1. HERVE de Vitré . A charter dated to [1055/70] records the waiver of duties granted to the monks of Saint-Florent de Saumur by "Hervé de Vitré et Cécile son épouse, pour Goranton son fils et pour Riwallon époux de sa fille"[885]. m CECILE, daughter of ---. A charter dated to [1055/70] records the waiver of duties granted to the monks of Saint-Florent de Saumur by "Hervé de Vitré et Cécile son épouse, pour Goranton son fils et pour Riwallon époux de sa fille"[886]. Hervé & his wife had two children:

a) GORANTON . A charter dated to [1055/70] records the waiver of duties granted to the monks of Saint-Florent de Saumur by "Hervé de Vitré et Cécile son épouse, pour Goranton son fils et pour Riwallon époux de sa fille"[887]. m ---. The name of Goranton´s wife is not known. Goranton & his wife had one child:

i) WETHNOC . "…Wethnoco filio Corantoni de Vitriaco…" witnessed the undated charter under which Conan II Duke of Britttany granted rights in Piré to Marmoutier[888].

b) daughter . A charter dated to [1055/70] records the waiver of duties granted to the monks of Saint-Florent de Saumur by "Hervé de Vitré et Cécile son épouse, pour Goranton son fils et pour Riwallon époux de sa fille"[889]. m RIVALLON, son of ---.

ROBERT de Vitré, son of TRISCAN de Vitré & his wife Enoguen de Fougères (-27 Jul [1090]). A charter dated to [1030/45] records the purchase by Marmoutier of land granted by "Rivallon le Vicaire" to "Urvodius", tutor to "son fils Gautier", approved by "Driscan, frère de Gautier et…Robert son fils"[890]. A charter dated to [1045/90] records a donation to Marmoutier by "Rivallon le Vicaire, grand-père de Robert I de Vitré"[891]. "Robert I de Vitré fils d´Enoguen, époux de Berthe, père d´André et de Robert" donated property to Marmoutier by charter dated to [1064/76][892]. Seigneur de Vitré. The Chronique de Normandie, based on le Roman de Rou, names "le sire de Vittry" among those who took part in the conquest of England in 1066[893]. A charter dated to [1070/75] records an agreement between the monks of Sainte-Croix and the canons of Notre-Dame de Vitré, with the consent of "domino Roberto et filiis eius Andrea…et Roberto"[894]. A charter dated to [1110] recalls the foundation of Sainte-Croix de Vitré by "Robertus de Vitriaco" with the consent of "Inoguende matre eius et Berta conjuge ipsius cum filiis suis Andrea et Roberto", and the later confirmation by "Andreas dominus Vitriaci castri et frater eius Philippus et uxor ipsius Andreæ…Agnes, cum filiis suis Roberto, Gervasio et Elia"[895].

m firstly --- de Craon, daughter of GUERIN de Craon & his wife --- (-[before 3 Mar 1070]). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 3 Mar 1070 under which her son-in-law "Rainaldus filius Roberti Burgundionis et uxor mea Eunoguena filia Roberti de Vitreio, nata de ipsius legali coniuge filia…Warini, naturalis hæredis et domini Credonensis honoris" confirmed the possession of "ecclesia Sancti Clementis…apud Credonum" to La Trinité de Vendôme[896]. Le Baud names her “Berthe”[897]. The primary source which confirms her name has not been identified. Under the scenario set out in this document, "Berthe" was the name of Robert de Vitré´s second wife and no primary source has yet been found which indicates that this was also the name of his first wife. The charter dated 3 Mar 1070 suggests that --- de Craon may have died before that date, otherwise it is unclear why she would not have issued the charter in her own name (together with her husband, who was still living). The issue is not free from all doubt as the phrase "domini Credonensis honoris" in the document appears to apply to "Warini", not to Renaud. Nevertheless, the fact that Renaud inherited Craon through his wife indicates that Enoguen must have been the sole heir of Robert de Vitré´s marriage to the heiress of Craon and that his other children, whose possible inheritance of Craon never seems to have been raised, were born from a different marriage. Her son-in-law is named "Raynaldus castri Credonensis dominus" in a charter dated 26 Jan 1078[898], which demonstrates that his mother-in-law must certainly have died by then.

m secondly BERTHE, daughter of --- (-after 1093). "Robert I de Vitré fils d´Enoguen, époux de Berthe, père d´André et de Robert" donated property to Marmoutier by charter dated to [1064/76][899]. Broussillon argues convincingly that Berthe, mother of Robert´s two sons André and Robert, could not have been --- de Craon, otherwise Craon would not have been inherited by Robert´s daughter, which inheritance was unchallenged by the Vitré family[900]. A charter dated to [1110] recalls the foundation of Sainte-Croix de Vitré by "Robertus de Vitriaco" with the consent of "Inoguende matre eius et Berta conjuge ipsius cum filiis suis Andrea et Roberto"[901]. "A. de Vitreio et B. mater eius" asked the abbot of Saint-Aubin d´Angers to celebrate a mass "XV Kal Sep" each year for the anniversary of "Roberti fratris mei", by charter dated to [1093/1106][902].

Robert & his first wife had one child:

1. ENOGUEN [Domita] de Vitré (-after 28 Jan 1078). "Rainaldus filius Roberti Burgundionis et uxor mea Eunoguena filia Roberti de Vitreio, nata de ipsius legali coniuge filia…Warini, naturalis hæredis et domini Credonensis honoris" confirmed the possession of "ecclesia Sancti Clementis…apud Credonum" to La Trinité de Vendôme by charter dated 3 Mar 1070[903]. Heiress of Craon. "Raynaldus castri Credonensis dominus et…uxor mea…Ennoguena cognomina Domitilla" donated was shields to La Trinité de Vendôme by charter dated 26 Jan 1078[904]. "Raginaldus cognomina Burgundus de Credone castro et uxor mea…Domita et filius meus Mauricius" donated property to Saint-Aubin d'Angers in honour of "patris mei Rotberti" by charter dated Oct 1080[905]. m RENAUD de Nevers, son of ROBERT "le Bourguignon" de Nevers & his first wife Avoie [Blanche] du Maine (-Dec 1101).

Robert & his second wife had three children:

2. ANDRE [I] de Vitré (-after 1139). "Robert I de Vitré fils d´Enoguen, époux de Berthe, père d´André et de Robert" donated property to Marmoutier by charter dated to [1064/76][906]. A charter dated to [1070/75] records an agreement between the monks of Sainte-Croix and the canons of Notre-Dame de Vitré, with the consent of "domino Roberto et filiis eius Andrea…et Roberto"[907]. Seigneur de Vitré. "A. de Vitreio et B. mater eius" asked the abbot of Saint-Aubin d´Angers to celebrate a mass "XV Kal Sep" each year for the anniversary of "Roberti fratris mei", by charter dated to [1093/1106][908]. A charter dated to [1110] records that "Andreas dominus Vitriaci castri et frater eius Philippus et uxor ipsius Andreæ…Agnes, cum filiis suis Roberto, Gervasio et Elia" confirmed the foundation of Sainte-Croix de Vitré[909]. m AGNES de Mortain, daughter of ROBERT Comte de Mortain & his first wife Mathilde de Montgommery (-[maybe after 1126/27]). Robert of Torigny names "unum filium Guillermum et tres filias" as the children of "Robertus comes Moritonii uterinus frater Willermi regis", specifying that one unnamed daughter (mentioned first) married "Andreas de Vitreio"[910]. A charter dated to [1110] records that "Andreas dominus Vitriaci castri et frater eius Philippus et uxor ipsius Andreæ…Agnes, cum filiis suis Roberto, Gervasio et Elia" confirmed the foundation of Sainte-Croix de Vitré[911]. It is possible that Agnes de Mortain was “Agnete amita mea” in the following charter: “Willelmus...dux Aquitanorum” donated “ecclesiam S. Juliani de Stapio...ecclesiam S. Mariæ de Clida” to Notre-Dame de Saintes “et abbatissæ Sibillæ amitæ meæ” by charter dated “XII Kal Sep”, signed by “eadem abbatissa Sibillla, et comitissa Tholosæ avia mea, et Agnete amita mea, et Arembergi de Volvent monacha...Petro episcopo...”[912]. The charter does not specify the year but can be dated to [1126/27], given that Duke Guillaume X succeeded his father in 1126 and that the successor of Pierre Bishop of Saintes (assuming that he can be identified as the subscriber “Petro episcopo”) is named in a document dated 1127[913]. The arguments in favour of this co-identity are set out in detail in the document NORMANDY NOBILITY. André & his wife had [four] children:

a) ROBERT [II] de Vitré ). A charter dated to [1110] records that "Andreas dominus Vitriaci castri et frater eius Philippus et uxor ipsius Andreæ…Agnes, cum filiis suis Roberto, Gervasio et Elia" confirmed the foundation of Sainte-Croix de Vitré[914]. Seigneur de Vitré. m as her second husband, EMMA de la Guerche, widow of JUHAEL Seigneur de Châteaubriand, daughter of GAUTHIER Hay Seigneur de la Guerche & his wife --- (-after 1 Apr 1161). "Robertus dominus Vitreii" granted property to Sauvigny with the consent of "Andrea filio meo et Emma matre mea et Emma uxore mea" by charter dated 1 Apr 1161[915]. Le Baud records that “Gaultier Hay sieur de la Guerche, homme lige de André de Vitré” had three daughters of whom the eldest “Emmé” married firstly “Iuhael fils Thechel de Chasteaubriand” and secondly Robert de Vitré[916]. The primary source which confirms her parentage has not been identified. Robert [II] & his wife had two children:

i) ANDRE ([1123/24]-28 Jun 1145, bur Notre-Dame de Vitré). Le Baud names “André” as oldest son of Robert de Vitré and his wife and records his death “IV Kal Jul” 1145 and his burial “ou chapitre de nostre Dame de Vitré”[917]. The primary source which confirms this information has not been identified.

ii) ROBERT [III] de Vitré (-11 Nov 1173). Le Baud names “Robert” as second son of Robert de Vitré and his wife[918]. The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified. Seigneur de Vitré.

c) HELIE . A charter dated to [1110] records that "Andreas dominus Vitriaci castri et frater eius Philippus et uxor ipsius Andreæ…Agnes, cum filiis suis Roberto, Gervasio et Elia" confirmed the foundation of Sainte-Croix de Vitré[920].

d) [HAWISE . Complete Peerage identifies the wife of Robert de Ferrers Earl of Derby as the daughter of André de Vitry & his wife but cites no supporting evidence[921]. According to Domesday Descendants[922], "there is no convincing evidence as to her identity". m ROBERT de Ferrers, son of HENRI Seigneur de Ferrières et de Chambrais & his wife Bertha --- (-1139). He was created Earl of Derby in 1138.]

4. PHILIPPE de Vitré . A charter dated to [1110] records that "Andreas dominus Vitriaci castri et frater eius Philippus et uxor ipsius Andreæ…Agnes, cum filiis suis Roberto, Gervasio et Elia" confirmed the foundation of Sainte-Croix de Vitré[926].

ROBERT [III] de Vitré, son of ROBERT [II] Seigneur de Vitré & his wife Emma de la Guerche (-11 Nov 1173). Le Baud names “Robert” as second son of Robert de Vitré and his wife[927].

"Robertus dominus Vitreii" donated property to Sauvigny, with the consent of "Andrea filio meo et Emma uxore mea", for the souls of “...fratris mei Andreæ”, by charter dated 28 Mar 1160[931]. "Robertus dominus Vitreii" granted property to Sauvigny with the consent of "Andrea filio meo et Emma matre mea et Emma uxore mea" by charter dated 1 Apr 1161[932]. Her origin is confirmed by Robert of Torigny who records the death in 1173 of "Robertus de Vitreio" and the succession of "filius suus Andreas natus ex sorore Rolandi de Dinan"[933]. Her first marriage is confirmed by the charter dated to [1155/73] under which "Emma de Vitreio" confirmed a donation of property to the priory of Sainte-Croix de Vitré by "Hugonis de Aleia…tunc maritus meus", with the consent of "filio meo Johanni", by charter dated to [1155/73][934].

"Andreas de Vitreio" donated property to Sauvigny, for the souls of "patris mei Roberti et matris mee Emme et uxoris mee Mathildis", with the consent of "Mathildis uxor mea et fratres mei Alanus et Robertus", by charter dated to [1173/84][951]. Le Baud records that André married firstly “Matilde fille Geoffroy de Mayenne et de Constance la fille du Duc Conan le Gros de Bretagne...” and the annulment of the marriage in [1189] because of the couple’s consanguinity[952]. The primary source which confirms this information has not been identified. She married secondly Thibaut de Mathefelon. Her parentage and second marriage are confirmed by the charter dated to [1204] under which her son "Theobaldus de Mathefelon" ratified donations to Fontaine-Daniel by "dominus Juhellus de Meduana…avunculus meus"[953]. [m secondly ENOGUEN de Léon, daughter of [GUYOMAR [IV] Vicomte de Léon & his wife Nobilis ---]. Le Baud records that André married secondly “Guen sœur de Guyomar et de Hervé Seigneurs de Leon” by whom he had “une fille...Emme”[954]. The primary source which confirms this information has not been identified. It should be noted that, concerning the parentage of André de Vitré’s daughter Emma, Le Baud contradicts himself when recording the marriage in May 1207 of “Emme sa fille qu’il avoit de sa première femme” and “Allard Seigneur de Chasteaugontier et de Nogent-le-Rotroux”[955]. No primary source has been identified which confirms the name of Emma’s mother. If Enoguen existed, the chronology suggests that she would have been much younger than her supposed brothers, presumably born towards the end of her father’s life, unless she was a widow at the time of the marriage to André de Vitré.] m [secondly/thirdly] EUSTACHIE, daughter of --- (-before 7 Dec 1209). Le Baud records that André married thirdly “Eustace fille Monsieur Hascot de Raix Sieur de Raix”, whose dowry was “la terre de Bleing, d’Yheric, avec le rivage de Loire, de celle part de la rivière où est la cité de Nantes scituée”[956].
