The county of Auxerre was located in the north-western part of the duchy of Burgundy, east of the Loire and straddling the river Yonne from north of the town of Auxerre to Coulanges in the south. Its eastern and northern borders were marked by the river Serein, tributary to the Yonne[1]. Evolved from the pagus Autissiodorensis (Auxerrois), it was one of the earliest recorded Burgundian counties which the Carolingian monarchs granted to, and confiscated from, their supporters in reward for service to the crown. The county passed to Richard, brother of Boson King [of Provence], in 886. It remained part of the territory of the dukes of Burgundy until its capture by Landry Comte de Nevers in alliance with Robert II King of France. The king granted the county to his daughter as dowry on her marriage with Landry’s son[2].
The county of Auxerre was ruled by the comtes de Nevers until the end of the 12th century. The heiress of the three counties of Auxerre, Nevers and Tonnerre married (as his first wife) Pierre [II] Seigneur de Courtenay (who was later installed as Pierre I Latin Emperor of Constantinople). Thereafter a succession of female heiresses resulted in the county passing through several different families. Mathilde de Courtenay succeeded her mother as countess in 1192, although her father declared himself count in 1199. Mathilde’s first husband, Hervé [IV] Seigneur de Donzy, succeeded as count in 1219 after his father-in-law died. After Hervé died three years later, his widow resumed control of the county until her own death in 1257. Auxerre (together with Nevers and Tonnerre) passed to her great-granddaughter Mathilde de Bourbon, heiress of her grandmother Agnes de Donzy (daughter of Hervé and Mathilde, and wife of Guy [I] de Châtillon-sur-Marne Comte de Saint-Pol) and of her mother Yolande de Châtillon (wife of Archambaud [IX] Seigneur de Bourbon) both of whom had predeceased their mother and grandmother. Mathilde de Bourbon married Eudes de Bourgogne, son of Hugues IV Duke of Burgundy, bringing the three counties of Auxerre, Nevers and Tonnerre into the family of the Capet dukes of Burgundy. Mathilde died in 1262, followed Eudes in 1266, and succession to the three counties was disputed by their daughters. The dispute was eventually settled in 1273 by the parlement which allocated Auxerre to the third daughter Alix, wife of Jean [II] de Chalon Seigneur de Rochefort (of the family of the counts of Burgundy).
Chapter 1. COMTES et VICOMTES d'AUXERRE
A. COMTES d'AUXERRE 859-921
1. ERMENOLD . Comte d'Auxerre. Marin Bishop of Auxerre, contemporary of Charles I King of the West Franks (later Emperor Charlemagne), names "primus comes pagi Autissiodorensis Ermenoldus" in his acts and records his foundation of the monastery at Auxerre in honour of the Saviour[3].
Two brothers: 1. CONRAD, son of CONRAD [Welf] Comte de Paris & his wife --- (-876). His parentage is deduced from Regino who names "Ruodolfus filius Chuonradi, nepos Huggonis abbatis"[4], the latter being recorded in the Miraculis Sancti Germani as "Hugo" one of the sons of "Chuonradus princeps", the patron of the church of Saint-Germain at Auxerre[5]. He helped save Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks after the invasion of Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks. Comte d'Auxerre. He fell into disgrace in 861, and passed into the service of the sons of Emperor Lothar. He received Geneva, Lausanne and Sion from Louis II King of Italy. Marquis of Transjurania in Dec 864. 2. HUGUES "l'Abbé" (-Orléans 12 May 886, bur Saint-Germain d'Auxerre). The Miraculis Sancti Germani names "Hugo" as one of the sons of "Chuonradus princeps" who continued to patronise the church of Saint-Germain at Auxerre after their father's death[6]. Abbot of Saint-Germain d'Auxerre 853. Imperial missus in Auxerre 853. Abbot of Saint-Riquier until 861. Abbot of Saint-Bertin 859/62. He was a supporter of King Lothaire 861/865. Marquis de Neustrie, Comte de Tours et d'Angers 866: the Annales Bertiniani record that "Hugoni clerico, avunculi sui [=Karoli regis] Chonradi filio" received the counties of Tours and Angers in 866[7]. Comte d'Auxerre in [866], assuming that Hugues was appointed to succeed Robert "le Fort" in this as well as the latter's other counties, although the primary source which confirms this beyond doubt has not been identified. Abbot of Saint-Martin de Tours 866. Abbot of St Vaast, Arras [874]. Abbot of Saint-Aignan, Orléans before 876. Abbot of Saint-Julien d'Auxerre 877. Abbot of Sainte-Colombe de Sens. Chaplain of the imperial chapel [880]. The necrology of the cathedral of Saint-Germain d'Auxerre records the death 12 May of "Hugo abbas"[8].
1. ROBERT "le Fort" (-killed in battle Brissarthe 2 Jul 866). The question of the origin of Robert "le Fort" is discussed in detail in FRANCE CAPETIAN KINGS. A document issued by Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks dated Nov 853 names "Dodo episcopus, Hrotbertus et Osbertus" as missi in "Cinnomannio, Andegavensi, atque Turonico, Corboniso, et Sagiso"[9]. He rebelled against King Charles II in 858. Robert submitted to the king's authority, when he was given command of the march of Neustria which had been confiscated from the Rorgonid family for supporting the revolt of Louis (later King Louis II) against his father[10]. Regino records that Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks invested "Rodberto comiti" with "ducatum inter Ligerim et Sequanam adversum Brittones" in 861[11]. The Annales Bertiniani record that "Rodbertus" attacked "Salomone duce" [duke of Brittany] in 862[12]. The Annales record that King Charles’s son, the future King Louis II "le Bègue", rebelled against his father in 862 and, heading an army of Bretons, defeated "Rotbertum patris fidelem" in 862 and burned Angers yet again[13]. Count in the march of Anjou [862/63]: the creation of the "march" of Anjou is probably dated to the early 860s, as the Annales Bertiniani name "Rodberto, qui marchio in Andegavo fuerat" in 865[14]. However, this change of jurisdictional status must have been insufficient to control the Bretons and the Vikings as the mention of Robert in the Annales in 865 is in the context of King Charles imposing direct rule in the area by sending "Hludowicum filium suum" into "Neustriam" and granting him "comitatum Andegavensem et abbatiam Maioris-monasterii et quasdam villas illi", while Robert was compensated with "comitatum Autissiodorensem et comitatum Nivernensem". Comte d'Auxerre and Comte de Nevers 865. The Annales Bertiniani name "Rodbertus et Odo" as "præfecti" in the Seine valley area in 866 when recording that they repelled the Vikings who had sailed up river as far as "castrum Milidunum"[15]. The Annales Bertiniani record that "Rotbertum et Ramnulfum, Godtfridum quoque et Heriveum comites" were defeated by the Vikings at "Brieserta" in 866, where Robert was killed[16]. The Adonis Continuatio records that "Robertus quoque atque Ramnulfus…inter primos ipsi priores" were killed by the Vikings in 866[17].
1. GIRBAUD (-after 902). Comte d'Auxerre. The Chronicle of Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire records Viking incursions as far as Orléans, soon after the death of Emperor Charles II "le Chauve" (dated elsewhere to 877), which were repelled by Hugues l'Abbé and "Girbold…comte d'Auxerre"[18]. Comte Girbaud's participation in the siege of Paris of 886 is recorded[19]. The Chronicle of Saint-Bénigne de Dijon records “...Girbaldus, Wido ac Radulfus comes, Madelgaudus Oscarensium vicecomes...” as present when “Richardus dux Burgundie” donated property “...in proximo pago Belnense, et in villa Givriaco” to Saint-Bénigne, dated to [893][20]. Chaume identifies these persons as Girbaud Comte d’Auxerre, Guy Comte “de Tonnerre ou d’Atuyer”, Raoul Comte “de Dijon”, and Maillaud Vicomte d’Oscheret[21]. Girbaud is named in his mother-in-law’s charter dated 902. m REINTRUDIS, daughter of --- & his wife Adela --- (-after 902). [Her mother] "Atila comitissa" donated property to Saint-Bénigne-de-Dijon "pro requie anime viri sui Milonis comitis" with the consent of "Girbaldus comes et Reintrudis uxor eius filia ipsius Atile" by charter dated 902[22].
1. RICHARD, son of comte BUVINUS [Bouvin] & his wife --- d'Arles (-[31 Aug or 1 or 29 Sep] 921, bur Abbaye de Sainte-Colombe de Sens, Yonne). The Annales Bertiniani name "Richardus frater Bosonis" when recording that, after the capture of Vienne by the forces of King Carloman, he took “uxorem Bosonis et filiam eius” back to “comitatum suum Augustudensem” in 882[23]. Comte in 876, subsequently assuming the role of his brother Boson as missus in Italy in early 877, when the latter was recalled by Emperor Charles II. Comte d’Autun. He established himself in the future duchy of Burgundy, north of his brother's realm, with his capital at Autun. He was invested as lay abbot of Saint-Symphorien by Carloman King of the East Franks in 880. He succeeded his wife's uncle Hugues l'Abbé as Comte d'Auxerre in 886. He led the Carolingian army which besieged his brother King Boso at Vienne in 882. The counties in Burgundy, except Mâcon, submitted to him. In 890 he was referred to as dux, marchio in 900, and dux Burgundionem in 918/921, later known as RICHARD "le Justicier" Duke of Burgundy.

A. SEIGNEURS de BEAUVOIR [en Bourgogne], de BOURDEAU et de CHASTELLUS
Beauvoir is located about 10 kilometres due west of Auxerre, in the present-day French département of Yonne, arrondissement Auxerre, canton Toucy. Bourdeau, part of Saint-Symphorien-de-Marmagne on the north-eastern outskirts of Marmagne, lies about 10 kilometres due south of Autun, département Saône-et-Loire, arrondissement Autun. Chastellus (the same as Chastellux?) has not been identified with certainty. All these and other territories were held by Laure de Bourdeau, as shown below, and inherited by her relative (precise family relationship not ascertained) Guillaume de Beauvoir and his two sisters.
1. GUILLAUME de Bourdeau . m SIMONE de Chastellux, daughter of ---. Europäische Stammtafeln records her family origin and marriage[150]: the primary source which confirms the information has not been identified. Guillaume & his wife had one child: a) LAURE de Bourdeau (-1384, bur Quincy). Auloy and Mouillebouche name her “Laure de Bourdeau”, identifying “La Tour Bourdeau, cne Saint-Symphorien-de-Marmagne, Saône-et-Loire”[151]. Europäische Stammtafeln records her precise parentage[152]: the primary source which confirms the information has not been identified. Père Anselme records that “[Laure de Bordeaux] dame de Montperoux et de Chastellus” reached agreement with “Philippe sire de Tanlay et de Ravieres et Philiberte sa femme” for her dowry after the death of “monseigneur Robert de Tanlay son...mari” by charter dated 1344[153]. Père Anselme says that she married secondly “Guillaume de Montagu seigneur de Sombernon” and thirdly “Jean de Bourbon seigneur de Montperoux issu des anciens sire de Bourbon, dont elle fut la seconde femme”[154]. “Jean de Bourbon chlr sgr de Montperroux, Châtellux, Marigny et Bazoiche” swore homage “tant en son nom qu’au nom de Laure de Bourdeaux dame desd. lieux pour les terres de Châtellux et de Bazoiches” in 1351[155]. “Laure de Bourdeaux dame de Châtellux, de Montperroux, de Marigny et de Bazoiche” swore homage for “Châtellux et Bazoiche” in 1356[156]. Père Anselme says that Laure “étant veuve pour la troisième fois en 1374” reached agreement with “Gerard de Bourbon fils de feu son mary” concerning her rights[157]. Laure “dame de Chastellus et de Basoche, femme de feu Robert de Tanlay seigneur de Tanlay” donated property to Quincy abbey by charter dated 1381[158]. Père Anselme records her testament dated 1383, a codicil dated 1384, her death “la même année” and burial “dans l’abbaye de Quincy”, her succession being shared by “Guillaume de Beauvoir son neveu et ses deux sœurs...en 1389”[159]. In another passage, Père Anselme records that “Guillaume de Beauvoir [en Bourgogne]” became “seigneur de Bourdeaux, d’Aulcerre, de Chastelus, de Basoches, de Marigny, du Bouchet, de Bousson et autres terres qu’il eut de Laure de Bourdeaux sa proche parente [the precise family relationship not specified]” and that “Philippe de Jaucourt Seigneur de Ville-Arnoul”, second husband of his sister Isabelle, “donna quittance pour elle en 1388” to Guillaume regarding the succession of Laure de Bourdeau and that, after she was widowed, Guillaume granted “la terre de Villiers-Lienas” to Isabelle as part of the same succession[160]. m firstly ROBERT [III] Seigneur de Tanlay, son of GUILLAUME [II] Seigneur de Tanlay [Courtenay] & his wife --- (-after 1341). m secondly GUILLAUME de Montagu Seigneur de Sombernon [Bourgogne-Capet], . m thirdly ([1351]) as his second wife, JEAN [I] de Bourbon Seigneur de Montperroux, son of [HUGUES [I] de Bourbon Seigneur de Montperroux & his [third] wife Jacquette de la Roche-en-Brenil]] ([1315/20?]-killed in battle Poitiers 19 Sep 1356, bur Poitiers Franciscans).
The precise family relationship between Jean, shown below, and Laure de Bourdeau has not been ascertained. 1. JEAN (-1350 or before). Seigneur de Bourdeau et d’Aulcerre. Père Anselme records that in 1339 he shared his father-in-law’s territories with his brother-in-law Gérard and with “Alips femme d’Artaud de Beausemblant”, receiving Beauvoir en Bourgogne as his share[161]. Père Anselme records the charter dated mid-Jun 1340 under which Jean agreed to pay a debt of his father-in-law who had borrowed money from “Simon de Gayes, fils d’Odon de Gayes” to prevent the sale of Villiers-Lienas, and that he was “mort en 1350”[162]. m (before 1339) JACQUETTE d’Autun, daughter of GUY d’Autun Seigneur d’Arconçay, de Villiers-Lienas, et de Beauvoir & his wife ---. Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage[163]. Jean & his wife had four children: a) PHILIBERT de Beauvoir (-after 1350). Père Anselme records his parentage and notes that he and his siblings were under the tutelage of Jean [I] de Bourbon Seigneur de Montperroux (husband of his relative Laure de Bourdeau, see above) in 1350[164]. b) GUILLAUME de Beauvoir (-6 Jun 1408, bur Vezelay Cordeliers). Père Anselme records his parentage and notes sources dated 1383, Apr 1396, 12 Oct 1405, 1406, 1407 in which he was named, and his date of death and place of burial[165]. Seigneur de Bourdeau, de Chastellus, de Basoches et de Marigny. His epitaph records the burial of “Guillaume de Beauvoir dit de Chastelus chevalier seigneur dudit Chastelus, vicomte d’Avalon, seigneur de Basoches, chambellan du roy”[166]. m firstly [ALIX] de Bourbon, daughter of [JEAN [I] de Bourbon Seigneur de Montperroux & his first wife --- de Longwy/de Rahon] (-before 1394). Père Anselme records Alix “fille de Jean de Bourbon seigneur de Montperoux et de Jeanne de Ternant” and her marriage, noting that she was childless and that her husband’s second marriage was dated “avant 1394”[167]. This parentage is chronologically impossible assuming that her husband’s date of death is correctly recorded. It seems more likely that Alix was another daughter of Jean [I] de Bourbon Seigneur de Montperroux by his first wife. If that is correct, her marriage was arranged by her stepmother Laure de Bourdeau who, as noted above, was “[une] proche parente” of Alix’s husband who (with his two sisters, one of whom was married to Alix’s supposed brother Gérard [I] according to Père Anselme, see above) shared Laure’s inheritance. Her name is uncertain, considering the apparent existence of her sister apparently with the same name. m secondly as her second husband, JEANNE de Saint-Verain, widow of GEOFFROY du Bouchet, daughter of --- (-[1420/21], bur Vezelay Cordeliers). Père Anselme records her parentage and two marriages, the first “avant 1394”, her mention in 1420, her burial with her second husband, and Marguerite Dss of Burgundy dispensing Claude de Beauvoir seigneur de Chastelus in 1421 from homage due “à cause de Jeanne de S. Verain sa mère n’agueres decedée”[168]. Guillaume & his second wife had children: i) CLAUDE de Beauvoir (-12 Mar 1454, bur Auxerre Cathedral). Père Anselme records his parentage, provides details of his career as Maréchal de France, records his testament dated 19 Jan 1453 (O.S.?), his death “12 mars suivant” and his place of burial[169]. Seigneur de Chastelus, de Bourdeau, Vicomte d’Avalon. Maréchal de France. m firstly as her second husband, ALIX de Toucy, widow of OGIER Seigneur d’Anglure, daughter of LOUIS de Toucy Seigneur de Bazarnes et du Val d’Auligny & his wife Guye Dame de Mont-Saint-Jean. Père Anselme records her parentage and two marriages[170]. m secondly (contract 11 Aug 1427) JEANNE de Longwy, daughter of MATHIEU de Longwy Seigneur de Givry et de Rahon & his wife Bonne de la Trémoïlle (-after 15 Apr 1434, bur Mont-Saint-Jean). Père Anselme records her parentage, marriage date, testament dated 15 Apr 1434, and place of burial[171]. m thirdly MARIE de Savoisy, daughter of CHARLES de Savoisy Seigneur de Seignelay & his wife Yolande de Rodemack (-after 21 Nov 1486). Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage, noting that she was living in 1469 and her testament dated 21 Nov 1486 which names her children[172]. - SEIGNEURS de CHASTELLUS, COMTES de CHASTELLUS[173]. ii) GEORGES de Beauvoir/de Chastelus (-after 1420). Père Anselme records his parentage, and his appointment as Amirhal de France in 1420, but noting that “on n’a rien trouvé de lui”[174]. iii) LAURETTE de Beauvoir (-1432 or before). Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage[175]. m (contract end-Jun 1409) GUILLAUME de Grancey Seigneur de Larrey et de Praslin, son of GUILLAUME de Grancey & his wife Marguerite de Plancy. iv) ALIX de Beauvoir . Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage[176]. m (16 Apr 1412) PIERRE Seigneur de Raigny, son of --- (-after 23 May 1414). c) ISABELLE de Beauvoir (-after 1388). Père Anselme records her parentage, her first marriage in 1360 to “Gerard de Bourbon seigneur de Montperoux” and her second marriage, noting that her second husband “donna quitance pour elle en 1388” to her brother regarding the succession of Laure de Bourdeau [see above] and that later (when she was widowed) her brother granted her “la terre de Villiers-Lienas” as part of the same succession[177]. Her second marriage is inconsistent with Gérard de Bourbon’s second marriage. One possibility is that the “marriage” recorded by Père Anselme was only a betrothal which was terminated. Another possibility is that Gérard’s supposed second marriage is incorrect. [m firstly (1360) [as his first wife,] GERARD [I] de Bourbon Seigneur de Montperroux, son of JEAN [I] de Bourbon Seigneur de Montperroux & his first wife --- [de Longwy/de Rahon] ([1342/48?]-before 24 Jul 1417).] m [secondly] PHILIPPE de Jaucourt Seigneur de Ville-Arnoul, son of --- (-after 1388). d) MARIE de Beauvoir (-after 1397). Père Anselme records her parentage, her marriage in 1360, her agreement in 1389 comcerning the succession of Laure de Bourdeau, and her husband’s agreement in her name with “Jacquette d’Arconçay dame de Beauvoir” relating to the partition of “la terre de Savoigny-le-Burvart” (citing “extrait du terrier de Beauvoir”)[178]. Dame de Turcy-la-Guerre, de Sauvoigny-le-Burvart et de Chevannes. m (1360) JEAN Broichard Seigneur de Veure et de Sainte-Reine, son of --- (-after 1397).

D. SEIGNEURS de SAINT-BRIS (MELLO)
The centre of activities of Dreux [I] de Mello and his family was located in the duchy of Burgundy. He was presumably closely related to the seigneurs de Mello family who lived north of Paris, but the precise connection has not yet been established as discussed in more detail in PARIS REGION NOBILITY. It is possible that Dreux [I] inherited property in the Auxerre/Tonnerre area from his mother, whose family background is unknown, and settled there. A contrary indication is provided by the pair of charters dated 1177, quoted below, relating to Nitry (identified as located in Tonnerre), which specify that the land was the fief of “Vuillermo de Merloto”. If the latter can be identified as Guillaume Seigneur de Mello (PARIS REGION NOBILITY), this would suggest that the Burgundian properties were held by the Mello family before the marriage of Dreux [I]’s parents. Saint-Bris has been identified as Saint-Bris-le-Vineux in the county of Auxerre. The Burgundian Mello family was of some importance in the court of the comtes de Nevers, as shown by the prominent position in which they are named in the witness lists of charters quoted below and by the high-profile marriages of members of the family which were arranged in 13th and 14th centuries. I am grateful to Jean-Claude Chuat for his help in identifying charters in which this family is named.
DREUX [I] de Mello, son of --- de Mello & his wife Agnes --- ([1130/40]-3 Mar 1218, bur Saint-Bris). His estimated birth date is suggested by his estimated marriage date. Given that Dreux [I] was named in 1216, it is likely that he was born during the later part of the range.

"Droco de Melloto..." witnessed the charter dated 1170 under which “Helizabet mater domini de Thocyaco” donated property to the monks of Vieupou[221]. "Drogo de Melloto et Ermengardis uxor mea" founded Vieupou priory, with the consent of “domini Guidonis de Dampetra et domini Milonis fratris sui et Guillelmi filii nostri”, by charter dated 1172[222]. “Drogo de Merloto” donated property from "Mintriaci" {Nitry, canton Noyers, arr. Tonnerre, Yonne} to La Charité-sur-Loire, for the souls of “fratris mei Roberti et Vuillelmi ibidem sepultorum”, with the consent of "domino Vuillelmo de Merloto…et uxore mea Ermengardi", by charter dated 1177[223]. Louis VII King of France confirmed the donations to La Charité-sur-Loire made by "Vuillermum de Garlanda", for the soul of “fratris sui Roberti ibidem sepulti”, and by "Drogonem de Merloto predicti Roberti fratrem pro eodem Roberto", by charter dated 1177, which records the consent of “Vuillermo de Merloto, de cujus feodo redditus iste movebat”[224]. "...Narjodus de Tociaco, Drogo de Merlo, Guido de Guarlanda..." witnessed the charter dated 1184 under which Pierre Comte de Nevers donated property to Pontigny[225].

"Droco de Merlo" donated vines “apud Irenci” to Pontigny, with the consent of “uxoris mee Ermenjardis...et filii mei Guillelmi”, by charter dated [Jul] 1190[227]. Connétable de France 1191. Pierre Comte de Nevers granted privileges to the inhabitants of Auxerre by charter dated 1194 which records the presence of "barones mei, Philippus dominus Giemi, Drogo de Merloto, Gaufridus senescallus meus, Iterius de Tociaco Autisiodorensis vicecomes..."[228]. "Droco de Melloto" exchanged property with the abbey of Saint-Jean de Sens by charter dated 1196[229]. “Dreux de Mello connétable de France” confirmed an agreement between Villeloin abbey and “Jehanne femme de feu Maurice Rimbaut” concerning a donation she had made, by undated charter1[230]. "Drogo de Merlot" reached agreement with Raoul abbé de Saint-Germain about “nemore Magne Bruerie...et...Montbolum” by charter dated 1203[231]. “Drocho de Merloto miles et...Willelmus filius eius” attested a donation to Saint-Germain made by “D. uxor Hugonis militis de Chevannis” by charter dated Apr 1208[232]. “Droco de Merloto senior”, on the point of leaving for Jerusalem “apud domum suam de Belca” {Beauche} in the presence of “filiis suis Willelmo et Drocone juniore”, recorded that the men of Saint-Maurice did not have the right to use the wood of Saint-Aubin-Château-Neuf by charter dated 1216[233].

The History of Louis VII King of France records that "Nivilo de Petrafonte et Drogo de Merloto" had married "duas filias Drogonis de Monceio"[235]. The chronology suggests that this was not the same person as Dreux’s wife Ermengarde. m secondly ([1172]) as her second husband, ERMENGARDE, separated wife/widow of GUILLAUME [I] Seigneur de Dampierre, daughter of --- (-after Jul 1190). Her first marriage is indicated by the charter dated Feb 1211 (O.S.) under which “Gui de Dampierre frère dudit Dreu” guaranteed the loyalty of “Dreu de Mello le jeune”[236]. It is also suggested by the charter dated 1172 under which "Drogo de Melloto et Ermengardis uxor mea" founded Vieupou priory, with the consent of “domini Guidonis de Dampetra et domini Milonis fratris sui et Guillelmi filii nostri”[237]. Another indication is the charter dated Dec 1223 under which “Willelmus dominus de Dampetra” swore allegiance to Thibaut IV Comte de Champagne, naming “...dominum Willelmum, dominum Droconem de Merloto avunculos meos...”[238]. That charter also indicates that both Guillaume [I] de Mello and Dreux de Mello were sons of Ermengarde. If the charters quoted here and under her supposed first husband are correctly dated, Ermengarde must have separated from her first husband. “Drogo de Merloto” donated property from "Mintriaci" {Nitry, canton Noyers, arr. Tonnerre, Yonne} to La Charité-sur-Loire, for the soul of “fratris mei Roberti et Vuillelmi ibidem sepultorum”, with the consent of "domino Vuillelmo de Merloto…et uxore mea Ermengardi", by charter dated 1177[239]. "Droco de Merlo" donated vines “apud Irenci” to Pontigny, with the consent of “uxoris mee Ermenjardis...et filii mei Guillelmi”, by charter dated [Jul] 1190[240]. Dreux [I] & his second wife had [four] children: 1. GUILLAUME [I] de Mello ([1172]-after Jan 1243). "Drogo de Melloto et Ermengardis uxor mea" founded Vieupou priory, with the consent of “domini Guidonis de Dampetra et domini Milonis fratris sui et Guillelmi filii nostri”, by charter dated 1172[241]. - see below. 2. DREUX de Mello (after 1172-Cyprus 8 Jan 1249). Seigneur de Loches. “Dreux de Mello seigneur de Loches” donated his rights “apud Rupes sur la terre d’un nommé Chalon” to the monks of the Chartreuse du Liget, with the consent of “Dreux son père”, by undated charter[242]. “G. de Trainel” guaranteed the loyalty of “Dreu de Mello le jeune son frère” by charter dated Feb 1211 (O.S.), which refers to the marriage of Dreux and “la fille de Sulpice d’Amboise”[243]. “Droco de Merloto senior”, on the point of leaving for Jerusalem “apud domum suam de Belca” {Beauche} in the presence of “filiis suis Willelmo et Drocone juniore”, recorded that the men of Saint-Maurice did not have the right to use the wood of Saint-Aubin-Château-Neuf by charter dated 1216[244]. “Droco de Melloto” acknowledged that he had instituted a market at Saint-Maurice-Thizouaille without consent and that “dominus meus rex” cancelled it, by charter dated 1218[245]. A charter dated 1219 records that “Droconi de Melloto” had wrongly erected “fulcas” on the land of the chapter of Auxerre at Saint-Maurice-Thizouaille by charter dated 1219[246]. A charter dated 1223 records judgment in a dispute between the abbey of Sens-Saint-Rémy and “Droconem de Melloto dominum Lochiarum” concerning certain serfs, with “Willelmo de Melloto fratre suo” acting as guarantor[247]. “Willelmus dominus de Dampetra” swore allegiance to Thibaut IV Comte de Champagne, naming “...dominum Willelmum, dominum Droconem de Merloto avunculos meos...”, by charter dated Dec 1223[248]. That charter also indicates that both Guillaume [I] de Mello and Dreux de Mello were sons of Ermengarde. “Droco de Melloto, Locharum dominus” confirmed a sale of property to the monks of Vieupou made by “Petronilla la Berondée et Meinfroninus filius eiusdem” by charter dated Mar 1235[249]. "Droco de Melloto dominus Locharum et Meduane...Helisabeth uxor predicti Droconis" donated revenue "in polanis de Sancto Prisco" by charter dated Jul 1239[250]. “Dreux de Mello seigneur de Loches” acted as guarantor if “Archambaud de Bourbon son neveu” failed to observe the marriage convention between “Jean comte de Dreux et Marie sœur d’Archambaud” under a charter dated Nov 1242[251]. "Drocho de Melloto dominus Locharum et Meduanæ et Ysabellis uxor eius hæres et domina Meduanæ" donated property to the abbey of Fontaine-Daniel by charter dated Jun 1243[252]. Guy Bishop of Auxerre confirmed that "Droco de Melloto dominus Locharum et Meduane in testamento suo...avunculi nostri" bequeathed revenue from "polanos Sancti Prisci" to Pontigny by charter dated Jul 1248[253]. A second charter deals with the same subject-matter in more detail, Guy Bishop of Auxerre confirming that "avunculus noster Droco de Melloto dominus Locharum et Meduane", on leaving on crusade, in his testament bequeathed revenue from "polanos Sancti Prisci" to Pontigny and renewed the donation “coram nobis” by charter dated 17 Jul 1248[254]. m (before 1218) as her first husband, ISABELLE de Mayenne, daughter of JUHAEL [II] Seigneur de Mayenne & his wife Gervaise de Vitré Dame de Dinan (-11 Nov 1257). "Droco de Melloto dominus Locharum et Meduane...Helisabeth uxor predicti Droconis" donated revenue "in polanis de Sancto Prisco" by charter dated Jul 1239[255]. "Isabella uxor Droconis de Melloto, militis, domini de Meduana" ratified a donation to the abbey of Mont by charter dated 1237[256]. "Drocho de Melloto dominus Locharum et Meduanæ et Ysabellis uxor eius hæres et domina Meduanæ" donated property to the abbey of Fontaine-Daniel by charter dated Jun 1243[257]. She married secondly (before 1251) as his second wife, Louis [I] Comte de Sancerre. Her parentage and second marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 1267 which records the settlement of a dispute between “Robertus de Sancerro miles” and “Joanne comite de Sancerro fratre suo”, after arbitration by “Guillelmum de Calviniaco dominum Castri-Radulphi et Joannem de Claviniaco dominum de Leproso milites”, the document also naming “Ludovicum comitem Sacri-Cesaris defunctum patrem eorum fratrum et Isabellam dominam Meduanæ defunctam quondam uxorem dicti Ludovici”[258]. 3. AGNES de Mello (-after 1215). “G. de Trainel” guaranteed the loyalty of “Dreu de Mello le jeune son frère” by charter dated Feb 1211 (O.S.), which refers to the marriage of Dreux and “la fille de Sulpice d’Amboise”[259]. "Droco de Melloto" noted a donation to Paraclet made by "Agnes filia mea uxor nobilis Garneri de Triangulo", with the consent of "eiusdem Garneri mariti sui", by charter dated 1215[260]. m GARNIER [III] Seigneur de Traînel, son of GARNIER [II] Seigneur de Traînel & his wife --- (-after 17 Oct 1217). 4. [--- de Mello . Her parentage and marriage are suggested by the charter dated Nov 1242 under which [her supposed brother] “Dreux de Mello seigneur de Loches” acted as guarantor if “Archambaud de Bourbon son neveu” failed to observe the marriage convention between “Jean comte de Dreux et Marie sœur d’Archambaud”[261]. This hypothesis assumes that “neveu” (presumably “nepos”) in this charter can be interpreted as “great-nephew”, bearing in mind that “nephew” is extremely unlikely given the identification of the mother of Archambaud de Bourbon and his sister Marie as Beatrix, daughter of Archambaud de Montluçon, and also that a more remote cousin relationship would render it unlikely that Dreux de Mello would have acted as guarantor. The hypothesis also appears to work from a chronological point of view, in light of the 1202 betrothal of the couple’s daughter to Guillaume [X] d’Auvergne. m [ARCHAMBAUD Seigneur de Montluçon, son of ---.]
GUILLAUME [I] de Mello, son of DREUX [I] de Mello & his second wife Ermengarde --- ([1172]-after Jan 1243). "Drogo de Melloto et Ermengardis uxor mea" founded Vieupou priory, with the consent of “domini Guidonis de Dampetra et domini Milonis fratris sui et Guillelmi filii nostri”, by charter dated 1172[262]. "Droco de Merlo" donated vines “apud Irenci” to Pontigny, with the consent of “uxoris mee Ermenjardis...et filii mei Guillelmi”, by charter dated [Jul] 1190[263]. “Drocho de Merloto miles et...Willelmus filius eius” attested a donation to Saint-Germain made by “D. uxor Hugonis militis de Chevannis” by charter dated Apr 1208[264]. “Droco de Merloto senior”, on the point of leaving for Jerusalem “apud domum suam de Belca” {Beauche} in the presence of “filiis suis Willelmo et Drocone juniore”, recorded that the men of Saint-Maurice did not have the right to use the wood of Saint-Aubin-Château-Neuf by charter dated 1216[265]. Seigneur de Saint-Bris. “Guillaume de Mello seigneur de Saint-Bris” granted vine cultivation rights to the monks of Reigny, with the consent of “Elisabeth sa femme”, by charter dated 1216[266]. A charter dated 1223 records judgment in a dispute between the abbey of Sens-Saint-Rémy and “Droconem de Melloto dominum Lochiarum” concerning certain serfs, with “Willelmo de Melloto fratre suo” acting as guarantor[267]. “Willelmus dominus de Dampetra” swore allegiance to Thibaut IV Comte de Champagne, naming “...dominum Willelmum, dominum Droconem de Merloto avunculos meos...”, by charter dated Dec 1223[268]. That charter also indicates that both Guillaume [I] de Mello and Dreux de Mello were sons of Ermengarde. “Guillelmus dominus de Merloto, Milo dominus Noeriorum, et Droco dominus de Espoisse et Chatel-Chinun” certified that “Gaucherium de S.-Florentino armigerum...concedente Eustagia uxore sua” had renounced rights in favour of Pontigny by charter dated May 1240[269]. “Guillaume de Mello seigneur de Saint-Bris” acted as guarantor if “Archambaud de Bourbon son neveu” failed to observe the marriage convention between “Jean comte de Dreux et Marie sœur d’Archambaud” under a charter dated Nov 1242[270]. “Guillaumes de Mellot sires de Saint-Briz” swore hommage to Thibaut King of Navarre, Comte de Champagne for revenue from “la foire de Bar-seur-Aube” by charter dated Jan 1242 (O.S.)[271]. [“Guillelmus de Melloto dominus S. Prisci” swore homage to Guy bishop of Auxerre for “domum meam de Belcha” (“sa maison-forte de Beaulche”) by charter dated Jul 1248[272]. It is unclear whether this charter refers to Guillaume [I] or to his son Guillaume [II]. Guillaume [I] would have been extremely old in 1248, and also the swearing of hommage suggests a recent succession to the property in question. On the other hand, Guillaume [II] is referred to as “de Meloto militis” in the marriage contract of his daughter Isabelle, suggesting that he may never have succeeded to the seigneurie de Saint-Bris, which would have been the case if he had predeceased his father.] m ELISABETH, daughter of --- (-after 1216). “Guillaume de Mello seigneur de Saint-Bris” granted vine cultivation rights to the monks of Reigny, with the consent of “Elisabeth sa femme”, by charter dated 1216[273]. The Gesta Episcoporum Virdunensium (Continuatio) records the succession of “Guido de Melloto” as bishop of Auxerre, naming his parents “pater...Guillelmus de Melloto miles dominus castri Sancti Prisci...mater eius de prosapia dominorum Montis Sancti Iohannis”[274]. Her precise relationship with the family of the seigneurs de Mont-Saint-Jean (see below) has not been established. The chronology of the marriages of her grandchildren suggests that her children must have been born well into the 13th century, in turn suggesting that Elisabeth was considerably younger than her husband. If that is correct, she may have been his second wife. Guillaume & his wife had six children: 1. GUILLAUME [II] de Mello (-after 1248). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified. However, the marriage date of his daughter indicates that he could not have been the same person as Guillaume de Mello who is named in 1216. [Seigneur de Saint-Bris. “Guillelmus de Melloto dominus S. Prisci” swore homage to Guy bishop of Auxerre for “domum meam de Belcha” (“sa maison-forte de Beaulche”) by charter dated Jul 1248[275].

DREUX [II] de Mello (-[1252]). His parentage is confirmed by interpreting the charter dated Mar 1261 under which [his brother] “G...episcopus Autissiod.”, as executor of the testament of “genitoris nostri domini Guillelmi de Melloto quondam domini S. Prisci militis”, donated property to Pontigny, with the consent of “nepotis nostri Drogonis de Melloto domini S.

E. VICOMTES de SAINT-FLORENTIN
Saint-Florentin is located about 20 kilometres north-east of Auxerre, in the present-day French département of Yonne, arrondissement Auxerre, canton Saint-Florentin. Much of the information included by Hermelin, in his early 20th century history of Saint-Florentin[329], has been supplemented by other sources which are cited below. Maybe the noble family recorded at Saint-Florentin in 1035 were ancestors of the later vicecomital family, although the absence of the names Boson and Waldric in the latter suggest that they may not have been closely related. Reference to the vicecomital title (vicomtes under the comtes d’Auxerre?) emerges from the sources in the 1140s: it is not known when the title was instituted. The family’s origin is unknown. Duchesne states that “il est certain” that they descended from the seigneurs de Châtillon-sur-Marne, whose arms they bore “chargées d’une estoille de sable sur le canton dextre du chef pour briseure”. While acknowledging that he did not know the precise descent, he suggests that “Miles de Chastillon fils de Guermond de Chastillon II Seigneur de Savigny” was their ancestor and that he married “la fille ou seur de Rahier Vicomte de S. Florentin” who was recorded in a charter of Molesme dated 1159[330]. Duchesne’s suggestion is unlikely to be correct as Vicomte Rahier was succeeded by his son, as noted below, although the family’s arms do suggest an earlier connection. In the mid-12th century, Saint-Florentin was among the fiefs held in the duchy of Burgundy by Thibaut Comte de Blois: “comes Theobaldus Blesensium” swore allegiance to Eudes Duke of Burgundy for “...Chelulciæ...et Merlennum castrum [Maligny]...et Arvicum castrum [Ervy]...et castrum Sancti-Florentini...et comitatus Trecarum totus...et Rutiscum castrum” by charter dated 1143[331]. Further work on the later generations of the vicomtes de Saint-Florentin, which remain sketchy as will be seen below, depends on the emergence of additional primary source material.
1. BOSON . He is named as father of Waldric in the 1035 charter cited below. m ---. The name of Boson’s wife is not known. The 1035 charter cited below suggests that she may have been the sister of “Manasse avunculi ejusdem Waldrici”, assuming that “avunculus” was used in its strict sense of maternal uncle. The document also refers to an earlier agreement between the “avus” of Waldric and the abbey: it is not known whether this refers to his paternal or maternal grandfather, but the presence of his “maternal” uncle suggests that the relationship with Auxerre Saint-Germain originatated with Waldric’s mother’s family. If that is correct, maybe she was the heiress of Saint-Florentin. Boson & his wife had one child: a) WALDRIC de Saint-Florentin (-after 1035). A charter dated 1035 records the settlement of a dispute “apud castrum Sancti-Florentini” between “donnum Odonem” abbot of Auxerre Saint-Germain and “Waldricum prædicti castri Bosonis filium”, relating to “potestatis Willaris-Vinosi”, recording the agreement made by “avus eius” with “predecessore suo, abbate...Heldrico”, subscribed by “Saxwalonis; Manasse avunculi ejusdem Waldrici, Waldrici ejusdem...”[332].
The family relationship, if any, between the following family and Waldric de Saint-Florentin has not been traced. The common references to Villiers-Vineux suggest a continuity of property holdings, but the absence of the names Boson and Waldric among the known descendants of Eudes suggests that the two families may not have been closely related.
1. EUDES (-[1140/18 Aug 1147]). Vicomte de Saint-Florentin. “Odo vicecomes Sancti-Florentini” donated his rights in the church of Saint-Florentin to Auxerre Saint-Germain, with the consent of “Agnete uxore mea...liberis meis Raherio, Hugone et Odone, et Hodierna uxore Raherii cum liberis suis...Odone, Hugone”, by charter dated to [1140] or [1145], witnessed by “...laïcali: comes Pertici Guillelmus Goetus...”[333]. The witness was presumably Guillaume [IV] Goët Seigneur de Montmirail, Baron du Perche-Goët (see the document CENTRAL FRANCE-CHARTRES, CHÂTEAUDUN). His connection with Saint-Florentin has not been ascertained, although his presence as first lay witness suggests a feudal relationship which could be consistent with the Comte de Blois later being feudal lord of Saint-Florentin as noted in the introduction above. Eudes presumably died before 18 Aug 1147, the date of the charter in which his son Rahier is named as vicomte. m AGNES, daughter of --- (-after [1140]). “Odo vicecomes Sancti-Florentini” donated his rights in the church of Saint-Florentin to Auxerre Saint-Germain, with the consent of “Agnete uxore mea...liberis meis Raherio, Hugone et Odone, et Hodierna uxore Raherii cum liberis suis...Odone, Hugone”, by charter dated to [1140] or [1145][334].

RAHIER de Saint-Florentin, son of EUDES Vicomte de Saint-Florentin & his wife Agnès --- (-[1180/84]). “Odo vicecomes Sancti-Florentini” donated his rights in the church of Saint-Florentin to Auxerre Saint-Germain, with the consent of “Agnete uxore mea...liberis meis Raherio, Hugone et Odone, et Hodierna uxore Raherii cum liberis suis...Odone, Hugone”, by charter dated to [1140] or [1145][338]. Vicomte de Saint-Florentin. Thibaut Comte de Blois settled disputes between Auxerre Saint-Germain and “Raherius vicecomes Sancti-Florentini” by charter dated 18 Aug 1147[339]. “Raherius vicecomes Sancto-Florentino...Seguinus Furans-canem...” witnessed a charter of Thibaut Comte de Blois dated 1149[340]. A charter dated to [1150] records an agreement to split revenue from an oven “apud Villare-Vinosum” between Auxerre Saint-Germain and “Raerius vicecomes Sancti-Florentini”, with the support of “Ada vicecomitissa et Willelmus filius amborum”[341]. Hugues Archbishop of Sens attested that “Raherius vicecomes de Sancto-Florentino”, with the consent of “filio suo Hugone, et uxore Ada”, the donations to Pontigny made by “patris eius Odonis”, by charter dated 29 May 1153, witnessed by “Sevinus de Sancto-Florentino, Henricus de Sancto-Florentino...”[342]. Hugues Archbishop of Sens declared “locum...Frigidus-Mantellus”, donated by Molesme at the request of “domine Petronille Barrensis comitisse”, exempt from all lay jursidiction, noting that the nuns were permitted to receive donations including from “Raherius vicecomes de Sancto-Florentino”, by charter dated 6 Jul 1159[343]. “Sancti-Florentini...dominus Raherius, vicecomes ejusdem villæ” consented to Henri Comte de Troyes granting the right to hold an annual market at Saint-Florentin to the church by charter dated 1159[344]. “Raerius vicecomes Sancti-Florentini” donated a chapel at Saint-Florentin to Auxerre Saint-Germain, at the request of “Adæ conjugis nostræ” and with the consent of “filii nostri Willelmi et uxoris suæ Agnetis”, by charter dated 1175[345]. “Raerius vicecomes Sancti-Florentini” donated “censuales...in curia monachi Sancti-Germani de Villers” to Saint-Germain, for the soul of “pie recordationis Ada conjuge mea”, with the consent of “Willelmi filii mei et uxoris sue Agnetis”, by charter dated to [1148] (corrected to [1180/84] by Hermelin[346])[347]. m firstly HODIERNE, daughter of ---. “Odo vicecomes Sancti-Florentini” donated his rights in the church of Saint-Florentin to Auxerre Saint-Germain, with the consent of “Agnete uxore mea...liberis meis Raherio, Hugone et Odone, et Hodierna uxore Raherii cum liberis suis...Odone, Hugone”, by charter dated to [1140] or [1145][348]. m secondly ADA, daughter of --- (-[1175/1184]). A charter dated to [1150] records an agreement to split revenue from an oven “apud Villare-Vinosum” between Auxerre Saint-Germain and “Raerius vicecomes Sancti-Florentini”, with the support of “Ada vicecomitissa et Willelmus filius amborum”[349]. Hugues Archbishop of Sens attested that “Raherius vicecomes de Sancto-Florentino”, with the consent of “filio suo Hugone, et uxore Ada”, the donations to Pontigny made by “patris eius Odonis”, by charter dated 29 May 1153[350]. The Feoda Campanie dated [1172] includes “...Milo de Noiers. Vicecomitissa sancti Florentini tenet tertiam partem, Milo de Pogiaco tertiam, Guido de Montmor tertiam…” in De Trecis et de Insulis[351]. “Raerius vicecomes Sancti-Florentini” donated a chapel at Saint-Florentin to Auxerre Saint-Germain, at the request of “Adæ conjugis nostræ” and with the consent of “filii nostri Willelmi et uxoris suæ Agnetis”, by charter dated 1175[352]. “Raerius vicecomes Sancti-Florentini” donated “censuales...in curia monachi Sancti-Germani de Villers” to Saint-Germain, for the soul of “pie recordationis Ada conjuge mea”, with the consent of “Willelmi filii mei et uxoris sue Agnetis”, by charter dated to [1148] (corrected to [1180/84] by Hermelin[353])[354]. Rahier & his first wife had two children: 1. EUDES de Saint-Florentin (-[1140/50]). “Odo vicecomes Sancti-Florentini” donated his rights in the church of Saint-Florentin to Auxerre Saint-Germain, with the consent of “Agnete uxore mea...liberis meis Raherio, Hugone et Odone, et Hodierna uxore Raherii cum liberis suis...Odone, Hugone”, by charter dated to [1140] or [1145][355]. The absence of Eudes from the [1150] and 29 May 1153 charters cited below suggests that he was deceased at the time. 2. HUGUES de Saint-Florentin (-after 29 May 1153). “Odo vicecomes Sancti-Florentini” donated his rights in the church of Saint-Florentin to Auxerre Saint-Germain, with the consent of “Agnete uxore mea...liberis meis Raherio, Hugone et Odone, et Hodierna uxore Raherii cum liberis suis...Odone, Hugone”, by charter dated to [1140] or [1145][356]. The absence of Hugues from the [1150] charter which names his half-brother Guillaume suggests that he was absent from Saint-Florentin at the time. One possibility is that he had joined the Third Crusade with Louis VII King of France. Hugues Archbishop of Sens attested that “Raherius vicecomes de Sancto-Florentino”, with the consent of “filio suo Hugone, et uxore Ada”, the donations to Pontigny made by “patris eius Odonis”, by charter dated 29 May 1153, witnessed by “Sevinus de Sancto-Florentino, Henricus de Sancto-Florentino...”[357].

A charter dated to [1150] records an agreement to split revenue from an oven “apud Villare-Vinosum” between Auxerre Saint-Germain and “Raerius vicecomes Sancti-Florentini”, with the support of “Ada vicecomitissa et Willelmus filius amborum”[358]. “Raerius vicecomes Sancti-Florentini” donated a chapel at Saint-Florentin to Auxerre Saint-Germain, at the request of “Adæ conjugis nostræ” and with the consent of “filii nostri Willelmi et uxoris suæ Agnetis”, by charter dated 1175[359]. “Raerius vicecomes Sancti-Florentini” donated “censuales...in curia monachi Sancti-Germani de Villers” to Saint-Germain, for the soul of “pie recordationis Ada conjuge mea”, with the consent of “Willelmi filii mei et uxoris sue Agnetis”, by charter dated to [1148] (corrected to [1180/84] by Hermelin[360])[361].

The testament of “Helisabeth domina Tilii relicta bone memorie Guillelmi quondam domini Tilii”, dated Jun 1257, made with the consent of “Sigero de Gandavo militis mariti mei”, refers to the rights of “heredes...Galcheri quondam domini Paceii...marito mee”, bequeathes property to “Agneti filie domine Adeline de Tylio...pro illa maritanda...”, and appoints “Hugonem dominum Charneii fratrem meum” among her executors[418]. 2.

Jean & his wife had three children: a) GEOFFROY [Godefroi?] de Saint-Florentin (-after 1300). “Ses fils [=Jean vicomte de Saint-Florentin?] Godefroy, Giles et Gaucher” acknowledged having ceded “leurs bois de Jaulges, contigus à ceux de leur père” to “Etienne, prêtre de la maison des Lépreux”, with the consent of “Maud femme de Godefroy”, by charter dated Dec 1261[420]. Seigneur de Jaulges. “Geoffroi de Saint-Florentin seigneur de Jaulges” freed two serfs by charter dated Mar 1294 (O.S.)[421]. Duchesne records that “Geofroy de Saint Florentin...avec Maistre Robert Foison” held an enquiry in 1300 between “Edmond d’Angleterre Comte usufruitier de Champagne, et Jean de Montfort, Girard Chabot, et Guillaume d’Yury chevaliers”[422]. m (before Dec 1261) MATHILDE, daughter of ---. “Ses fils [=Jean vicomte de Saint-Florentin?] Godefroy, Giles et Gaucher” acknowledged having ceded “leurs bois de Jaulges, contigus à ceux de leur père” to “Etienne, prêtre de la maison des Lépreux”, with the consent of “Maud femme de Godefroy”, by charter dated Dec 1261[423]. b) GILLES de Saint-Florentin (-after Dec 1261). “Ses fils [=Jean vicomte de Saint-Florentin?] Godefroy, Giles et Gaucher” acknowledged having ceded “leurs bois de Jaulges, contigus à ceux de leur père” to “Etienne, prêtre de la maison des Lépreux”, with the consent of “Maud femme de Godefroy”, by charter dated Dec 1261[424]. c) GAUCHER de Saint-Florentin (-after 29 Oct 1298). “Ses fils [=Jean vicomte de Saint-Florentin?] Godefroy, Giles et Gaucher” acknowledged having ceded “leurs bois de Jaulges, contigus à ceux de leur père” to “Etienne, prêtre de la maison des Lépreux”, with the consent of “Maud femme de Godefroy”, by charter dated Dec 1261[425]. Duchesne records that “Gaucher de S.

Hermelin says that “Gaucher, troisième fils de Jean...vicomte de Saint-Florentin” sold “ses droits sur le village, le château, la châtellenie d’Ervy...” to Henri Comte de Champagne in 1273[427]. “Gaucher de Saint-Florentin chevalier” sold his rights “sur le village, le château et la châtellenie d’Ervy, sur les prés du Breuil, de Monthiérault et de Chessy, sur divers fiefs à Chamblain et à la Vacherie” to Henri III Comte de Champagne by charter dated Sep 1273[428]. These reports presumably all relate to the following document: “Gaucher de Saint-Florentin chevalier” sold his rights in “le château et la châtellenie d’Ervy, sur les prés du Breuil, de Monthiérault et de Chessy, sur divers fiefs à Chamblain et à La Vacherie” to Henri III Comte de Champagne by charter dated Sep 1273[429].

Gaucher confirmed possessions “ès chasteleries de Saint-Florentin et de Leigni-le-Chastel” donated “aux frères de la Maladrerie de Saint-Florentin”, with the consent of “sa femme Luque” by charter dated Jul 1291[431]. Europäische Stammtafeln names her “Lucquette”, daughter of “Jean [de Montréal] sn d’Athie et de Pont d’Aisy”[432], see the document BURGUNDY DUCHY-AUXOIS, DUESMOIS, AVALOIS. The primary source which confirms this parentage has not been identified. Gaucher & his wife had one child: i) JEAN de Saint-Florentin (-killed La Réole 1324). “Jean de Villiers-Vineux, fils de feu Jean de Saint-Florentin” exchanged revenue with “[les] frères de la Maladrerie de Saint-Florentin”, in particular “ès fiefs de Jehan fils de Monseigneur Gaucher de Saint-Florentin, chevalier” by charter dated 13 Jun 1296[433]. [Seigneur de “Janguier”: Duchesne records that “Jean de Saint Florentin Sire de Veure et Jean de Saint Florentin Sire de Janguier” threatened to withdraw from the service of Louis de Flandre Comte de Nevers if he continued to rebel against the king, the bishop of Nevers and “Gerart de Chastillon” by charter dated 1 Jun 1317[434].] The Chronique de Saint-Denis records in 1324 that “le Seigneur de Saint Florentin Cheuëtaine des François”, under Charles Comte de Valois, besieged the brother of the king of England at La Réole and was killed in the ensuing battle[435]. m ---. Jean & his wife had one child: (1) MARGUERITE de Saint-Florentin (-after 1343). Hermelin records her parentage (no source cited), incorrectly identifying her husband as “Etienne III baron de Seignelay”[436]. The manuscript “Carte des Barons de Sign-Let” also records the supposed marriage of “Etienne III” with “Marguerite vicomtesse de Saint-Florentin”, noting that “estant veufve et sans enfans de lui” Marguerite married secondly “Jean de Soigne ou de Saint-Seine...à cause d’elle baron et seigneur en partie de Seign-Let, 1337, mourut 1343”[437]. If the “Carte des Barons” is correct, Marguerite married secondly Jean de Soigne [de Saint-Seine], but no other document has yet been found which confirms his existence. Her [first] husband is correctly identified by Duchesne who records “Marguerite de Sainct Florentin veuve de Jean Seigneur de Saillenay” selling “la vicomté de Sainct Florentin” to King Philippe VI by letters dated 1343 which name “Gaucher sire de Saillenay escuyer fils de feu Jean de Saillenay”[438]. The document in question is reproduced by Hermelin: “Marguerite de Sainct-Florantin dame de Saillenay, femme jadix de...feu Monseigneur Jehan jadix seigneur de Saillenay” sold “la viconté de Sainct-Florantin” to Philippe VI King of France and his wife Jeanne de Bourgogne, with the consent of “Gauchiers sires de Saillenay escuiers, filz de la dicte dame et doudit feu...Jehan de Saillenay chevalier jadix son mary”, by charter dated mid-Nov 1343[439]. A 1356 charter of the hospital of Saint-Florentin records “la royne Jeanne de Bourgoingne...au temps qu’elle tenait la chastellenie de Saint-Florentin en sa maison de Saillenay, jadis vicomtesse de la ville de Saint-Florentin”[440]: Henry comments that “le manque de documents nous a empêché d’éclaircir ce fait important de notre histoire”, but the involvement of Jeanne de Bourgogne [Queen of France, who died 12 Dec 1349] is explained by the mid-Nov 1343 charter cited above. m [firstly] ([before 1320?]) JEAN [III] Seigneur de Seignelay, son of --- ([1295?]-before 1343). [m secondly JEAN de Soigne [Saint-Seine], son of ---.]
1. GUILLAUME de Saint-Florentin (-after Apr 1273). “Guillaume de Saint-Florentin écuyer et Aliénor sa femme” sold their rights “sur le village, le château et la châtellenie d’Ervy, sur la Vacherie sous Ervy, sur le Breuil près Monthiérault, sur le Breuil de Chessy, sur des fiefs...à Chamblain, à Davrey” to Henri III Comte de Champagne by charter dated Apr 1273[441]. m ELEONORE, daughter of ---. “Guillaume de Saint-Florentin écuyer et Aliénor sa femme” sold their rights “sur le village, le château et la châtellenie d’Ervy, sur la Vacherie sous Ervy, sur le Breuil près Monthiérault, sur le Breuil de Chessy, sur des fiefs...à Chamblain, à Davrey” to Henri III Comte de Champagne by charter dated Apr 1273[442].
1. --- de Saint-Florentin . m MARGUERITE du Mex, daughter of GUY du Mex & his wife --- (-after Feb 1301). The testament of “Margerite dite de S. Florentin, fille jadis deu Guy dou Mex, gisanz au lit deshaitiée”, dated Feb 1300 (O.S.?), made religious bequests, in the presence of “sire Pierre dou Meix baillif de Tourneurre...”[443].
F. SEIGNEURS de SEIGNELAY
Seignelay is located about 10 kilometres north of Auxerre, in the present-day French département of Yonne, arrondissement Auxerre, canton Seignelay. The family of the seigneurs de Seignelay, until the early 13th century, was studied in 1979 and 1987 by Constance Bouchard[444]. The following reconstruction differs in some detail from Bouchard, as highlighted below. The families of the seigneurs de Seignelay, from the 11th to 18th centuries, were also studied in 1833 and 1853 by Vaast-Barthélemi Henry[445]. Bouchard is dismissive of Henry, noting that his “reconstruction of the 12th century family is at odds with the primary documents and is filled out with conjecture”[446]. On the other hand, he reproduces numerous primary sources in his second volume, particularly relating to the later period, details from which have been included below. He cites other documentation which appears important, but unfortunately uses cryptic citation references which are too imprecise to enable them to be checked. Henry also reproduces in full a manuscript “Carte des Barons de Sign-Let” (undated but the last entry is dated 18 Jun 1761) which traces the Seignelay descents from Bavon (see below) until the mid-18th century[447]. This manuscript must have used earlier primary source material as many details are corroborated by other documents which are cited below. However, as highlighted by Bouchard, the 11th/12th century part of the document supposedly shows a series of intermediate generations between Bavon and Avalon [II] which remain unconfirmed and have not been included below. A note on the name “Avalon”: Bouchard uses “Aswalo” throughout, while other secondary sources use other variations. The names in Latin are inconsistent as will be seen below. “Avalon” has been chosen for the present reconstruction as more similar to a present-day French name, but the choice is arbitrary and should not been seen as significant.
1. BAVON de Seignelay (-after [1000]). Rodulphus Glaber records the religious persecutions of “Bavonis...et filii eius Alwalonis...Silliniaci...castri”, dated to [1000][448]. m ---. The name of Bavon’s wife is not known. Bavon & his wife had one child: a) AVALON [I] [Aswalo] de Seignelay . Rodulphus Glaber names “Bavonis...et filii eius Alwalonis...Silliniaci...castri”, dated to [1000][449]. same person as...? [SASWALO] (-after 1035). A charter dated 1035 records the settlement of a dispute “apud castrum Sancti-Florentini” between “donnum Odonem” abbot of Auxerre Saint-Germain and “Waldricum prædicti castri Bosonis filium”, relating to “potestatis Willaris-Vinosi”, recording the agreement made by “avus eius” with “predecessore suo, abbate...Heldrico”, subscribed by “Saxwalonis; Manasse avunculi ejusdem Waldrici, Waldrici ejusdem...”[450]. The name of the first subscriber bears a striking resemblance to “Aswalo”, a variant of Avalon. His position as first subscriber suggests an interest in the property in question: maybe he was Waldric’s feudal lord. If that is correct, the proximity of Seignelay to Saint-Florentin suggests the possibility that he was the same person as Avalon [I] or was the latter’s son.
The relationship between Avalon [II] and Avalon [I] has not been confirmed, but the unusual name suggests that the former was descended from the latter. As noted in the introduction above, the manuscript “Carte des Barons de Sign-Let” purports to show two intervening generations[451]. However, as the manuscript’s detail is imprecise and the chronology implausible (not enough generations), the information has not been reproduced below.
1. AVALON [II] de Seignelay ([1080/95?]-[23 Apr 1139/6 Apr 1140]/[25 Mar 1143/24 Mar 1144]). Seigneur de Seignelay. A judgment of Guillaume Comte de Nevers dated 1106 settled a dispute between Auxerre Saint-Germain and “Awalonem [dominum Seleniaci]”, noting that Avalon held rights of justice in “Alta-Ripa [Haute-Rive], de Monte [du Mont], de Olmeto [d’Ormoy], de Gurgiaco [de Gurgy]”, witnessed by “...Jolduinus vicecomes frater suus...” [Vicomte de Sens? see the document CHAMPAGNE NOBILITY-SENS & JOIGNY][452]. Bouchard highlights the difficulty of deciding whether “suus” in relation to the witness refers to “Awalonem [dominum Seleniaci]” or another of the witnesses, but notes the use of the name Daimbert in the family of the vicomtes de Sens which could suggest a Seignelay family connection (see Avalon [II]’s son Daimbert, below)[453]. “Aswalo de Sellenniaco” donated land to Auxerre Saint-Marien, with the support of “uxor mea et Daimbertus filius meus”, by charter dated to [1125/40][454]. “Awalo de Silliniaco dominus meus...” witnessed the 31 Aug 1126 charter under which “Bertrannus de Silliniaco” donated “censum...apud Sanctam Porcariam” to Pontigny[455]. Hugues Bishop of Auxerre notified an exchange between “Salo [...de Silliniaco] filius Garmundi de Bodoliaco” and Pontigny by charter dated to [23 Apr 1139/6 Apr 1140], supported by “...donnus Avalo et Agnes uxor eius”[456]. m firstly ---. This supposed first marriage is indicated by the [1110/15?] estimated birth date of Avalon [II]’s son Daimbert [I], which means that he was not the son of Avalon [II]’s known wife Agnes (assuming that her earlier Noyers marriage is correct, and considering the probable birth of her son Milon [IV] by her first husband in [1120/25?]). Bouchard does not raise the possibility of this earlier marriage, but she does not discuss the potential chronological problem raised by the birth of Avalon’s son Daimbert[457]. The unusual name Daimbert suggests a connection with Daimbert who was Archbishop of Sens from 1097 to 1112 (see the document SENS ARCHBISHOPRIC). It is possible therefore that Daimbert’s mother was related to the archbishop of the same name. [“Aswalo de Sellenniaco” donated land to Auxerre Saint-Marien, with the support of “uxor mea et Daimbertus filius meus”, by charter dated to [1125/40][458]. The estimated date of this document is not precise enough to decide whether it refers to Avalon’s first or second wife.] m secondly ([1127/31?]) as her second husband, AGNES ---, widow of MILON [III] Seigneur de Noyers, daughter of --- (-after [23 Apr 1139/6 Apr 1140]). Petit names Agnes as the wife of Milon [III] (no sources cited), noting incorrectly that she was “veuve du seigneur de Pierre-Perthuis” (drawing an incorrect conclusion from the sources quoted below which confirm that Etienne Seigneur de Pierre-Perthuis was the son of Avalon [II] Seigneur de Seignelay), and also noting her later Seignelay marriage[459]. The manuscript “Carte des Barons de Sign-Let” (see the introduction above) says that Avalo [II] married “la veufue de Miles de Noyers, nommée Agnès, qui lui procréa trois [probably incorrect number, see below] garçons”[460]. The approximate date of her Seignelay marriage is based on Europäische Stammtafeln recording that her first husband died “(1131)”[461], but the primary source which confirms this date has not been identified suggesting that his death a few years earlier cannot be excluded. An earlier primary source which confirms her Noyer and Seignelay marriages has not been identified. However, these two marriages would provide a good explanation for the family relationship between her first husband’s grandson Clarembaud Seigneur de Noyers and her second husband’s grandson Etienne de Pierre-Pertuis [son of his son Etienne, born from Avalon’s first marriage and probably adopting his new family name Pierre-Pertuis after his marriage, see below] which is indicated in the following document: “Stephanus filius Stephani de Petra pertusa” confirmed his donation to Pontigny made in 1189 on leaving for Jerusalem for the soul of “patris mei” and donated “coustumas meas de Basso”, dated “in feriis Pentecosten, cum conscientia domini Clarembaudi, cognati mei” [no year][462]. The two marriages could also help explain why the life of Hugues de Noyers Bishop of Auxerre [her first husband’s grandson] names “Senonensis archiepiscopus Guido [her son by her second husband], avunculus episcopi”[463]. Hugues Bishop of Auxerre (from 1136/1151, see the document SENS ARCHBISHOPRIC) notified an exchange between “Salo [...de Silliniaco] filius Garmundi de Bodoliaco” and Pontigny by charter dated to [23 Apr 1139/6 Apr 1140], supported by “...donnus Avalo et Agnes uxor eius”[464]. Avalon [II] & his first wife had [two] sons: a) [AVALON de Seignelay . Bouchard says that “the boy Aswalo, oldest son of Lord Aswalo I...appeared as puer in a [Molesme] charter of his father from the first years of the century”, noting that “since he is not seen again, one must assume he died young”[465]. The charter in question has not been found in the second volume of Molesme charters reproduced by the “Projet CBMA” (although there is some suspicion that this copy does not reproduce the whole book)[466]. An alternative possibility is that the boy Avalon was in fact the same person as Avalon [II], father of Daimbert [I], and that Avalon the father named in the early 1100s was Avalon [II]’s father.] b) DAIMBERT [I] de Seignelay ([1110/15?]-after 1155). His birth date is estimated from the estimated birth date of his son Avalon [III], see below. “Aswalo de Sellenniaco” donated land to Auxerre Saint-Marien, with the support of “uxor mea et Daimbertus filius meus”, by charter dated to [1125/40][467]. Hugues Bishop of Auxerre notified an exchange between “Salo [...de Silliniaco] filius Garmundi de Bodoliaco” and Pontigny, including land donated by “Gauterii filii Bertranni”, in the presence of “...Daimberto Silliniacensi...”, by charter dated to [23 Apr 1139/6 Apr 1140], witnessed by “Daimbertus, Bochardus, Stephanus...”[468]. Seigneur de Seignelay. “Salo de Boolli” [Bouilly] confirmed the exchange made with Pontigny before he left for Jerusalem, of his rights “in territorio toto Creciaci et Dochei...” with Pontigny in return for the monastery’s property in “Silliniaco et Ruvreio”, with the support of “...Daimbertus de Silliniaco, de cujus casamento tenui ista que monachis commuto” and of “fratres Daimberti, Burchardus et Stephanus”, by charter dated to [25 Mar 1143/24 Mar 1144][469]. Hugues Archbishop of Sens notified that “Milo Collum gelatum” had donated property to Pontigny, with the consent of “Daimbertus de Selliniaco et Alpazia uxor eius et Salo et Amelina uxor eius”, by charter dated to [25 Mar 1147/24 Mar 1148][470]. Hugues Archbishop of Sens notified that “Daimbertus de Silliniaco et uxor eius Alpacia”, with the support of “Bochardo et Stephano fratribus ejusdem Daimberti”, had donated property “in territorio de Creciaci et quicquid Milo Collum gelatum tenebat in territorio Creciaci” to Pontigny by charter dated to [14 Jun 1147/10 Apr 1148][471]. Hugues Archbishop of Sens records that “Salo de Boolliaco” agreed to change arrangements relating to his earlier donation of rights “in molendino et in piscatione de Fricambaut” to Dilo Notre-Dame, with the support of “Emmelina uxore Salonis” and Hugues Archbishop of Sens attested that “Gaubertus de Sellenniaco et Johannes frater eius, et Milo, filius Jheremiæ de Joviniaco” donated “territorium de Beischia”, held from “Burchardo filio Auvalonis” and with his consent and that of “Aanordis uxor eius”, to Dilo by charter dated to [1150], witnessed by “Dambertus de Sellenniaco...”[472]. “Daimbertus...dominus Selleniaci...de cujus feodo erant molendina...Alpazide uxore illius, ac Auvalone, filio eius, et Burchardo, fratre suo...” (witnessed by “Burchardus de Sellenniaco...”), by charter dated 1151[473]. Hugues Archbishop of Sens attested that “Galterus Jeremias” donated land “in territorio Villepei...” to Dilo, recording certain payments to him and “Guiardo, fratri ejus”, by charter dated 1155, witnessed by “...Daimbertus de Sellenniaco, Bulchardus frater ejus...”[474]. m (before [1140/45?]) ALPAZIA, daughter of --- (-after 1151). Hugues Archbishop of Sens notified that “Milo Collum gelatum” had donated property to Pontigny, with the consent of “Daimbertus de Selliniaco et Alpazia uxor eius et Salo et Amelina uxor eius”, by charter dated to [25 Mar 1147/24 Mar 1148][475]. Hugues Archbishop of Sens notified that “Daimbertus de Silliniaco et uxor eius Alpacia” had donated property “in territorio de Creciaci et quicquid Milo Collum gelatum tenebat in territorio Creciaci” to Pontigny by charter dated to [14 Jun 1147/10 Apr 1148][476]. Hugues Archbishop of Sens records that “Salo de Boolliaco” agreed to change arrangements relating to his earlier donation of rights “in molendino et in piscatione de Fricambaut” to Dilo Notre-Dame, with the support of “Emmelina uxore Salonis” and “Daimbertus...dominus Selleniaci...de cujus feodo erant molendina...Alpazide uxore illius, ac Auvalone, filio eius, et Burchardo, fratre suo...” (witnessed by “Burchardus de Sellenniaco...”), by charter dated 1151[477]. Daimbert [I] & his wife had two children: i) AVALON [III] de Seignelay ([1140/45?]-[1190/99]). His birth date is estimated based on the likely birth date of his wife. Hugues Archbishop of Sens records that “Salo de Boolliaco” agreed to change arrangements relating to his earlier donation of rights “in molendino et in piscatione de Fricambaut” to Dilo Notre-Dame, with the support of “Emmelina uxore Salonis” and “Daimbertus...dominus Selleniaci...de cujus feodo erant molendina...Alpazide uxore illius, ac Auvalone, filio eius, et Burchardo, fratre suo...” (witnessed by “Burchardus de Sellenniaco...”), by charter dated 1151[478]. Seigneur de Seignelay. - see below. ii) AGNES de Seignelay (-after 1189). Hugues Archbishop of Sens notified that “Augalo de Silliniaco” confirmed all the possessions of Pontigny, with the consent of “Eludia uxor eius et Agnes soror eius”, by charter dated to [25 Mar 1167/24 Mar 1168][479]. “Gaufridus dominus Sancti-Verani” donated harvest “de Basernia” to Crisenon, with the support of “uxor mea Agnes de Siliniaco et Hugo frater meus”, by charter dated 1189[480]. m GEOFFROY Seigneur de Saint-Verain, son of GIBAUD [II] Seigneur de Saint-Verain & his wife Sara de Toucy[481] (-after 1189). Avalon [II] & his [first] wife had two further sons (The suggestion that their mother was Avalon’s first wife appears supported by the younger child Etienne naming one of his sons Daimbert, and also by both children being named with Daimbert [I] in the [23 Apr 1139/6 Apr 1140] charter cited below, when they would have been young if born from their father’s second marriage dated to [1128/31] (although this date is not definite as explained above). The question is potentially complicated by the [1189] charter in which Avalon’s grandson Etienne (“Stephanus filius Stephani de Petra pertusa”, son of the younger of these two further children, Etienne, who adopted the name Pierre-Perthuis as explained below) named “domini Clarembaudi, cognati mei”[482], referring to Clarembaud Seigneur de Noyers who was the grandson of Avalon’s second wife by her first husband, although the term “cognatus” could presumably include a family connection who was not a blood relative): c) BOUCHARD de Seignelay (-after 1175). Hugues Bishop of Auxerre notified an exchange between “Salo [...de Silliniaco] filius Garmundi de Bodoliaco” and Pontigny, including land donated by “Gauterii filii Bertranni”, in the presence of “...Daimberto Silliniacensi...”, by charter dated to [23 Apr 1139/6 Apr 1140], witnessed by “Daimbertus, Bochardus, Stephanus...”[483]. “Salo de Boolli” [Bouilly] confirmed the exchange made with Pontigny before he left for Jerusalem, of his rights “in territorio toto Creciaci et Dochei...” with Pontigny in return for the monastery’s property in “Silliniaco et Ruvreio”, with the support of “...Daimbertus de Silliniaco, de cujus casamento tenui ista que monachis commuto” and of “fratres Daimberti, Burchardus et Stephanus”, by charter dated to [25 Mar 1143/24 Mar 1144][484]. Hugues Archbishop of Sens notified that “Daimbertus de Silliniaco et uxor eius Alpacia”, with the support of “Bochardo et Stephano fratribus ejusdem Daimberti”, had donated property “in territorio de Creciaci et quicquid Milo Collum gelatum tenebat in territorio Creciaci” to Pontigny by charter dated to [14 Jun 1147/10 Apr 1148][485]. Hugues Archbishop of Sens attested that “Gaubertus de Sellenniaco et Johannes frater eius, et Milo, filius Jheremiæ de Joviniaco” donated “territorium de Beischia”, held from “Burchardo filio Auvalonis” and with his consent and that of “Aanordis uxor eius”, to Dilo by charter dated to [1150], witnessed by “Dambertus de Sellenniaco...”[486]. Hugues Archbishop of Sens records that “Salo de Boolliaco” agreed to change arrangements relating to his earlier donation of rights “in molendino et in piscatione de Fricambaut” to Dilo Notre-Dame, with the support of “Emmelina uxore Salonis” and “Daimbertus...dominus Selleniaci...de cujus feodo erant molendina...Alpazide uxore illius, ac Auvalone, filio eius, et Burchardo, fratre suo...” (witnessed by “Burchardus de Sellenniaco...”), by charter dated 1151[487]. Hugues Archbishop of Sens attested that “Galterus Jeremias” donated land “in territorio Villepei...” to Dilo, recording certain payments to him and “Guiardo, fratri ejus”, by charter dated 1155, witnessed by “...Daimbertus de Sellenniaco, Bulchardus frater ejus...”[488]. “...Bochardus de Selloeniaco, frater abbatisse, Stephanus de Petra-Pertusa, frater eius...” witnessed the 1161 charter which records the settlement of disputes between Auxerre Saint-Julien and “comes Joviniacensis, Rainardus”[489]. A charter dated 1175 records the settlement of disputes between “dominum Bocardum de Seliniaco” and Auxerre Saint-Germain concerning “justicia...de terra Gurgiaci”[490]. m firstly (before [1150]) AENOR, daughter of ---. Hugues Archbishop of Sens attested that “Gaubertus de Sellenniaco et Johannes frater eius, et Milo, filius Jheremiæ de Joviniaco” donated “territorium de Beischia”, held from “Burchardo filio Auvalonis” and with his consent and that of “Aanordis uxor eius”, to Dilo by charter dated to [1150], witnessed by “Dambertus de Sellenniaco...”[491]. The estimated date of this charter is inconsistent with the chronology of the family of Bouchard’s known wife Aénor de Montbard. If that is correct, “Aanordis” must have been an earlier wife. Bouchard does not raise the possibility of this earlier marriage, but she does not discuss the potential chronological problem raised by the chronology of the Montbard family[492]. m secondly AENOR de Montbard, daughter of ANDRE [I] Seigneur de Montbard & his wife Helvide de Montréal. The life of [her son] Guillaume Bishop of Auxerre records “Guillermus de territorio Autissiodorensi, castro Silligniaco, patre Buchardo fratre Deimberti, domino ejusdem castri...matre Aanor, filia...Andree, domini de Monte-Barri...de genere...sanctissimi Bernardi, Clarevallensis abbatis”[493]. Bouchard & his second wife had [five or more] children: i) MANASSES de Seignelay (-28 Sep 1221, bur Orléans Sainte-Croix). The life of Guillaume Bishop of Auxerre 1207/1220 records “frater unicus de multis in primevo etatis sue flore defunctis, Manasse...archidiaconus Senonensis et Autissiodorensis, postmodum in episcopum Aurelianensem assumptus...natu major erat”, noting that “uno ventre prodierant”[494]. Archdeacon of Sens and Auxerre. Bishop of Orléans: Gallia Christiana records his appointment 1207[495]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records in 1210 that “Aurelianensis Manasses et Autissiodorensis Guilelmus frater eius” refused to support Philippe II King of France in his mission to recapture “munitionem Warplic” from the English for “Iudellus de Maduana”, and that the king confiscated their property (the Pope refusing to intervene on their behalf in “consuetudines regni”) which was returned to them two years later[496]. Gallia Christiana records his death in 1221, recorded 28 Sep in the necrology of Orléans, and his burial in Orléans Sainte-Croix[497]. ii) GUILLAUME de Seignelay (-23 Nov 1223). The life of Guillaume Bishop of Auxerre 1207/1220 records “Guillermus de territorio Autissiodorensi, castro Silligniaco, patre Buchardo fratre Deimberti, domino ejusdem castri...matre Aanor, filia...Andree, domini de Monte-Barri...de genere...sanctissimi Bernardi, Clarevallensis abbatis” and his appointments as “in ecclesia cathedrali Senonensi thesaurarium et archidiaconatum Pruviniensem, in Autissiodorensi...decanatum”[498]. Bishop of Auxerre: Gallia Christiana records his appointment “V Id Feb” 1207[499]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records in 1210 that “Aurelianensis Manasses et Autissiodorensis Guilelmus frater eius” refused to support Philippe II King of France in his mission to recapture “munitionem Warplic” from the English for “Iudellus de Maduana”, and that the king confiscated their property (the Pope refusing to intervene on their behalf in “consuetudines regni”) which was returned to them two years later[500]. Bishop of Paris: Gallia Christiana records his appointment “IV Kal Mar” 1219 (O.S.)[501]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the appointment in 1220 “Guillelmus episcopus Autisiodorensis frater episcopi Manasse Aurelianensis...de licentia et concessione domni pape” as bishop of Paris[502]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records in 1223 that, after the death of “episcopo Guilelmo”, “Bartholomeus Carnotensis decanus” was made bishop of Paris[503]. The necrology of Sens Cathedral records the death “IX Kal Dec” of “Guillelmus, Autissiodorensis episcopus et postea Parisiensis [1223]”[504]. [A necrology of Auxerre Cathedral records the death 12 Aug of “Andreas, archidiaconus Autissiodorensis, Guillelmi de Seligniaco, episcopi, consanguineus, juvenis bonæ memoriæ et bonæ indolis puer [1226]”[505]. The precise family relationship between Guillaume and Archdeacon André has not been ascertained. Bouchard suggests that he could have been the son of Guillaume’s sister Agnès[506].] iii) [two or more] sons (-young). Their existence is confirmed by the life of their brother Guillaume Bishop of Auxerre, which names “frater unicus de multis in primevo etatis sue flore defunctis, Manasse...”[507]. iv) AGNES de Seignelay (-1202 or before). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the following documents: “Hugo dominus de Crus” ratified the donation made by “Agnes mea...mater, moriens” to Auxerre Saint-Marien by charter dated 1202, while Manassès archdeacon of Sens confirmed that “sa sœur Agnès, dame de Crux” bequeathed the same property, also in 1202[508]. m --- Seigneur de Crux, son of --- (-before 1202). d) ETIENNE de Seignelay (-[1185/89]). Hugues Bishop of Auxerre notified an exchange between “Salo [...de Silliniaco] filius Garmundi de Bodoliaco” and Pontigny, including land donated by “Gauterii filii Bertranni”, in the presence of “...Daimberto Silliniacensi...”, by charter dated to [23 Apr 1139/6 Apr 1140], witnessed by “Daimbertus, Bochardus, Stephanus...”[509]. “Salo de Boolli” [Bouilly] confirmed the exchange made with Pontigny before he left for Jerusalem, of his rights “in territorio toto Creciaci et Dochei...” with Pontigny in return for the monastery’s property in “Silliniaco et Ruvreio”, with the support of “...Daimbertus de Silliniaco, de cujus casamento tenui ista que monachis commuto” and of “fratres Daimberti, Burchardus et Stephanus”, by charter dated to [25 Mar 1143/24 Mar 1144][510]. Hugues Archbishop of Sens notified that “Daimbertus de Silliniaco et uxor eius Alpacia”, with the support of “Bochardo et Stephano fratribus ejusdem Daimberti”, had donated property “in territorio de Creciaci et quicquid Milo Collum gelatum tenebat in territorio Creciaci” to Pontigny by charter dated to [14 Jun 1147/10 Apr 1148][511]. “Ex parte comitis Garnerius de Triagnello senescallus, Stphs de Petra pertussio...” witnessed the charter dated to [1160] under which Guillaume Comte de Nevers donated vines to Nevers Saint-Cyr[512]. “...Bochardus de Selloeniaco, frater abbatisse, Stephanus de Petra-Pertusa, frater eius...” witnessed the 1161 charter which records the settlement of disputes between Auxerre Saint-Julien and “comes Joviniacensis, Rainardus”[513]. “Ex parte comitis Narjodus de Tociaco, Stephanus de Petrapertusa...” witnessed the 1173 charter under which Guy Comte de Nevers the bishop of Nevers to fortify Prémery[514]. “Stephano de Perrepertuis...” witnessed the charter dated [8 Apr 1173/23 Mar 1174] under which Henri Comte de Troyes notified the donation made to Pontigny by “Milo de Erviaco...”[515]. Guillaume Archbishop of Sens attested that Guy Comte de Nevers had donated property to Pontigny by charter dated [25 Mar 1175/24 Mar 1176], in the presence of “...Stephano de Petra pertusa...”[516]. Guy Archbishop of Sens notified that “dominus Stephanus de Petra-Pertusa” had donated annual revenue “in paagio de Basso” to Auxerre Saint-Marien, for the anniversaries of himself and “filii sui Guidonis”, and donated “prata...supra pontem Bellimontis”, with the support of “filii eius Daimbertus archidiaconus Autissiodorensis; Stephanus miles” and “cum uxore sua predictus Agalo, de cujus ista sunt casamento”, by charter dated 1185[517]. m (before [1160]) --- [de Pierre-Pertuis], daughter of ---. Her husband is named “seigneur de Pierre-Pertuis” from [1160] (see above). Bouchard assumes that he married the heiress of Pierre-Pertuis[518], which seems a reasonable assumption. If she is correct, Etienne’s wife was probably related to “dni [=domini] Hervei de Petra Pertusa miles” who approved a donation to the Templars dated Jun 1262[519]. The primary source which confirms her family origin has not been identified. Etienne & his wife had three children: . i) ETIENNE de Pierre-Pertuis [de Brive] (-after 1190). Guy Archbishop of Sens notified that “dominus Stephanus de Petra-Pertusa” had donated annual revenue “in paagio de Basso” to Auxerre Saint-Marien, for the anniversaries of himself and “filii sui Guidonis”, and donated “prata...supra pontem Bellimontis”, with the support of “filii eius Daimbertus archidiaconus Autissiodorensis; Stephanus miles”, by charter dated 1185[520]. “Stephanus filius Stephani de Petra pertusa” confirmed his donation to Pontigny made in 1189 on leaving for Jerusalem for the soul of “patris mei” and donated “coustumas meas de Basso”, dated “in feriis Pentecosten, cum conscientia domini Clarembaudi, cognati mei” [no year][521]. “Awalo de Sellenniaco”, with the support of “Adelina uxor mea...liberique mei Daimbertus et Ferricus”, confirmed that “Stephanus de Briva, cognatus meus, Jherusalem profecturus” donated “molendinum...apud Basso...” to Saint-Marien by charter dated 1190[522]. ii) GUY de Pierre-Pertuis (-[before 1185]). Guy Archbishop of Sens notified that “dominus Stephanus de Petra-Pertusa” had donated annual revenue “in paagio de Basso” to Saint-Marien abbey, for the anniversaries of himself and “filii sui Guidonis”, and donated “prata...supra pontem Bellimontis”, with the support of “filii eius Daimbertus archidiaconus Autissiodorensis; Stephanus miles”, by charter dated 1185[523]. The wording of this donation suggests that Guy was deceased at the time. iii) DAIMBERT de Pierre-Pertuis (-18 May, after 1185). Treasurer and archdeacon of Auxerre: Guy Archbishop of Sens notified that “dominus Stephanus de Petra-Pertusa” had donated annual revenue “in paagio de Basso” to Auxerre Saint-Marien, for the anniversaries of himself and “filii sui Guidonis”, and donated “prata...supra pontem Bellimontis”, with the support of “filii eius Daimbertus archidiaconus Autissiodorensis; Stephanus miles”, by charter dated 1185[524]. A necrology of Auxerre Cathedral records the death 18 May of “Daimbertus sacrista Nivernensis et archidiaconus Autissiodorensis”, for whom “Hugonis de Nuceriis, Autissiodorensis episcopi, cognatus” donated[525]. Avalon [II] & his [first/second] wife had one daughter (no indication has been found to suggest whether she was born from her father’s first or second marriage): e) AGNES de Seignelay . Abbess of Auxerre Saint-Julien. “...Bochardus de Selloeniaco, frater abbatisse, Stephanus de Petra-Pertusa, frater eius...” witnessed the 1161 charter which records the settlement of disputes between Auxerre Saint-Julien and “comes Joviniacensis, Rainardus”[526]. The primary source which confirms her name has not been identified. Avalon [II] & his second wife had one son. The identification of both Archbishop Guy’s father and mother has been controversial. Bouchard assumes, correctly it seems, that Guy was the son of Avalon [II] de Seignelay[527]. The 1144, [31 Mar 1146/24 Mar 1147], and [25 Mar 1164/24 Mar 1165] charters cited below, dated before his archiepiscopal appointment, identify Guy as a Seignelay. Nevertheless, numerous secondary sources have for centuries shown him as a member of the Noyers family. For example, Duchesne records “Guy de Noyers premierement archidiacre en l’église de Sens, et prevost en celle d’Auxerre, puis esleu archevesque de Sens 1177” as third son of Milon [IX] Seigneur de Noyers (died 1291) and his wife Marie de Châtillon-sur-Marne[528], which is clearly anachronistic. Petit, supposedly correcting this chronological anomaly, names Guy as the son of Milon [III] Seigneur de Noyers[529]. Guy’s supposed connection with the Noyers family can probably be traced to the life of Hugues de Noyers Bishop of Auxerre which, as noted below, names “Senonensis archiepiscopus Guido, avunculus episcopi”, the term “avunculus” (strictly maternal uncle) being later confused with “patruus” (paternal uncle) (see his necrology entry below) and being misinterpreted as indicating that he was a Noyers. The identity of Guy’s mother is confirmed by his being named “avunculus” of Hugues de Noyers Bishop of Auxerre as noted above: if Guy had been born from his father’s first marriage, he would not have been the bishop’s “avunculus” unless the term was used in an extended sense to include non-blood relatives (which would be unusual): f) GUY de Seignelay ([1128/32?]-22 Dec 1193, bur Sens Cathedral). Archbishop Guy has been studied most recently by Jenni Chandler to whom I am grateful for sharing the results of her research[530]. The life of Guillaume [de Seignelay] Bishop of Auxerre [see above] records “Guillermus de territorio Autissiodorensi, castro Silligniaco, patre Buchardo fratre Deimberti, domino ejusdem castri...” and “pater...frater eius Guido, archiepiscopus Senonensis” and “avunculus [an example of the term being used in the sense of “patruus”] ejus archiepiscopus”[531]. If his mother has been correctly identified, Guy’s birth would be estimated to [1128/32] (if his father’s second marriage is correctly dated as shown above), in which case he would have been only 12/15 years old when (as a Seignelay) he was first named as a monk at Pontigny: “...Guido de Siliniaco...monachi Pontiniacenses...” witnessed the 1144 charter under which Hugues Bishop of Auxerre notifies the confirmation of donations to Pontigny[532]. “Galterius Calvus, Guido de Siliniaco, Galterius Buxsacré, monachi Pontiniacenses...” witnessed the charter dated [31 Mar 1146/24 Mar 1147] under which “Holdigerius de Autisiodoro…” donated property to Pontigny[533]. Archdeacon of Sens: “...Guido de Saliniaco archidiaconus Senonensis...” witnessed the charter dated to [25 Mar 1164/24 Mar 1165] under which Hugues Archbishop of Sens notified that “Salo de Boliaco et uxor eius Aimelina et filii eius Milo et Guillelmus et Gilduinus et Ermengardis et Alpazia filiæ eius” confirmed rights of Pontigny in property exchanged[534]. Archbishop of Sens: Gallia Christiana records his appointment in 1177[535]. “Guido...Senonensis archiepiscopus” notified that “filius et nepos noster Augalo dominus de Siliniaco” [son of Daimbert [I], see above] had donated “aquam suam de fluvio Hermançon [Armançon]...a ponte de Neiseles [Natiaux] usque ad aquam nostram” to Pontigny with the consent of “Ha--- uxor ipsius Augalonis et eorum filii Daimbertus, Rainaudus, Ferricus et Petrus”, by charter dated to [17 Apr 1188/24 Mar 1189][536]. The life of Hugues de Noyers Bishop of Auxerre records that “Senonensis archiepiscopus Guido, avunculus [meaning father’s uterine half-brother] episcopi” commuted a punishment inflicted on peasants by Bishop Hugues[537]. Gallia Christiana records his death “XII Kal Jan” 1193 and his burial “in majori ecclesia”[538]. Canon Potel’s necrology of Auxerre Cathedral, compiled in 1761 but based on earlier documents[539], records the death 22 Dec of “Guillelmus (vel Guido] de Nuceriis, ultimus Autissiodorensis ecclesiæ præpositus, deinde Senonensis archiepiscopus [1194], Hugonis, Autissiodorensis episcopi, patruus...”[540], the term “patruus” (strictly paternal uncle) further confusing the question of Archbishop Guy’s connection with the Noyers family.
The connection between the following four family groups and the main Seignelay family, if any, has not been confirmed. It is possible either that they were unrelated or descended from junior branches of the family.
1. BERTRAND de Seignelay (-[31 Aug 1126/1139]). “Bertrannus de Silliniaco” donated “censum...apud Sanctam Porcariam” to Pontigny, with the support of “uxor mea Ilduisis cognomento Damaruns, et filius meus Gauterius et filia mea Ilduisis cognomento Lorria”, by charter dated 31 Aug 1126, witnessed by “Awalo de Silliniaco dominus meus, Gauterius nepos meus...”[541]. m ILDUISE dite Damaruns, daughter of ---. “Bertrannus de Silliniaco” donated “censum...apud Sanctam Porcariam” to Pontigny, with the support of “uxor mea Ilduisis cognomento Damaruns, et filius meus Gauterius et filia mea Ilduisis cognomento Lorria”, by charter dated 31 Aug 1126[542].

AVALON [III] de Seignelay, son of DAIMBERT [I] Seigneur de Seignelay & his wife Alpazia --- ([1140/45?]-[1190/99]). His birth date is estimated based on the likely birth date of his wife.

[Faget de Casteljau says that she was Marguerite de Mont-Saint-Jean who married secondly “Daimbert de Seignelay” but he cites no source which confirms that this is correct[583]. If he is correct, she was Marguerite de Mont-Saint-Jean, widow of Guy [III] Seigneur de Tilchâtel, daughter of Hugues Seigneur de Mont-Saint-Jean & his wife Elisabeth de Vergy (-after 1224).] Daimbert [II] & his wife had two children: a) ETIENNE [I] de Seignelay (-[Mar 1246/Apr 1248]). “Daimbertus dominus Silliniaci...et uxori meæ Margaretæ” donated “clausum vineæ meæ de Monte-Sancti-Sulpicii” to Pontigny, with the support of “Stephano filio meo”, by charter dated 1202[584].

Henry records that “L’abbé de Paquy, dans son relevé des titres de la maladrerie de Saint-Florentin” (no citation reference) names “Etienne, Guy et Jean, chevaliers, Geoffroy, qui fut chanoine de Langres, d’Auxerre et d’Orléans, et deux filles, l’une dame de La Broce, et l’autre de Pacy” as the six children of Jean [I][613]. His birth date is estimated from the likely marriage date of his parents. Seigneur de Seignelay. A vidimus of Philippe de Savoisy Seigneur de Seignelay, dated 1375, records “Etienne, Jean et Geoffroy de Seignelay”, by virtue of the testament of “leur père Jean” who had chosen burial in the monastère des Isles, acknowledged the monastery’s right to revenue from “leurs moulins d’Hauterive”[614]. “Jeuffroiz de Seillenay chenoines d’Auceurre” confirmed revenue “sus la chariere de Basso” to Pontigny by charter dated Sep 1294, sealed by “mon frère monseigneur Estienne seigneur de Seillenay”[615]. “Bernarz dou Mes” [arbitrator] notified that “Estienne seigneur de Saillenay et de Reborseau...” had agreed rights “ou bois de Contest” with Pontigny by charter dated [12/18] Jun 1307[616]. He died before [9/15] Sep 1308, the date of the charter cited below in which his son was named seigneur de Seignelay. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Etienne’s wife has not been found. Etienne [II] & his wife had one child: a) JEAN [II] de Seignelay ([1265/70?]-[1317/23]). His birth date is estimated from the likely birth date of his father, bearing in mind the likely birth date of Gaucher Seigneur de Seignelay who is named below (one of the possibilities being that Gaucher was the grandson of Jean [II], as discussed below). Seigneur de Seignelay. “Jehans sires de Saillenay et de Reborseau chevaliers” approved the agreement between “mon...père monseigneur Estienne homme de bonne mémoire, jadis seigneur de Saillenay et de Reborseau chevalier” and Pontigny relating “ou bois de Contest” by charter dated [9/15] Sep 1308[617]. “Jehans sires de Sellegney chevaliers” and “Prins de Saint-Franchi escuyer” settled their dispute about “la justice de la Cummoigne” by charter dated 31 Mar 1317 (O.S.?)[618]. The manuscript “Carte des Barons de Sign-Let” (see the introduction above) records that Jean [II] died ”entre l’an 1317 et 1323” (no sources cited)[619]. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Jean’s wife has not been found. i) [ETIENNE [III] de Seignelay (-before 1337). The manuscript “Carte des Barons de Sign-Let” (see the introduction above) records “Etienne III passe adveu à Jean de Challon, comte d’Auxerre, 1323” as the successor of Jean [II] but does not record the family relationship between them[620]. As no other document has been found in which he is named, his existence is uncertain. The manuscript “Carte des Barons de Sign-Let” records Etienne’s supposed marriage with “Marguerite vicomtesse de Saint-Florentin”, noting that “estant veufve et sans enfans de lui” she married secondly “Jean de Soigne ou de Saint-Seine...à cause d’elle baron et seigneur en partie de Seign-Let, 1337, mourut 1343”. However, Marguerite’s mid-Nov 1343 charter quoted below names Jean Seigneur de Seignelay as her husband and Gaucher as their son.] 2. GUY de Seignelay . Henry records that “L’abbé de Paquy, dans son relevé des titres de la maladrerie de Saint-Florentin” (no citation reference) names “Etienne, Guy et Jean, chevaliers, Geoffroy, qui fut chanoine de Langres, d’Auxerre et d’Orléans, et deux filles, l’une dame de La Broce, et l’autre de Pacy” as the six children of Jean [I][621]. 3. JEAN de Seignelay . Henry records that “L’abbé de Paquy, dans son relevé des titres de la maladrerie de Saint-Florentin” (no citation reference) names “Etienne, Guy et Jean, chevaliers, Geoffroy, qui fut chanoine de Langres, d’Auxerre et d’Orléans, et deux filles, l’une dame de La Broce, et l’autre de Pacy” as the six children of Jean [I][622]. A vidimus of Philippe de Savoisy Seigneur de Seignelay, dated 1375, records “Etienne, Jean et Geoffroy de Seignelay”, by virtue of the testament of “leur père Jean” who had chosen burial in the monastère des Isles, acknowledged the monastery’s right to revenue from “leurs moulins d’Hauterive”[623]. 4. GEOFFROY de Seignelay (-after Sep 1294). Canon at Langres. Henry records that “L’abbé de Paquy, dans son relevé des titres de la maladrerie de Saint-Florentin” (no citation reference) names “Etienne, Guy et Jean, chevaliers, Geoffroy, qui fut chanoine de Langres, d’Auxerre et d’Orléans, et deux filles, l’une dame de La Broce, et l’autre de Pacy” as the six children of Jean [I][624]. A vidimus of Philippe de Savoisy Seigneur de Seignelay, dated 1375, records “Etienne, Jean et Geoffroy de Seignelay”, by virtue of the testament of “leur père Jean” who had chosen burial in the monastère des Isles, acknowledged the monastery’s right to revenue from “leurs moulins d’Hauterive”[625]. Canon at Auxerre. “Jeuffroiz de Seillenay chenoines d’Auceurre” confirmed revenue “sus la chariere de Basso” to Pontigny by charter dated Sep 1294, sealed by “mon frère monseigneur Estienne seigneur de Seillenay”[626]. 5. --- de Seignelay . Henry records that “L’abbé de Paquy, dans son relevé des titres de la maladrerie de Saint-Florentin” (no citation reference) names “Etienne, Guy et Jean, chevaliers, Geoffroy, qui fut chanoine de Langres, d’Auxerre et d’Orléans, et deux filles, l’une dame de La Broce, et l’autre de Pacy” as the six children of Jean [I][627]. m --- Seigneur de la Broce, son of ---. 6. --- de Seignelay .

Two possible siblings. The primary source which confirms the parentage of Jean [III], who presumably succeeded Jean [II] as seigneur de Seignelay, has not been traced. The most likely possibilities are that he was the son of Jean [II] (the same person as the, maybe misnamed, shadowy “Etienne [III]”?) or was the grandson of one of Etienne [II]’s brothers. The manuscript “Carte des Barons de Sign-Let” names Gaucher, son of Jean [III], as ”cousin d’Etienne III” (no sources cited)[629], although no corroboration of this statement has been found. The “Carte des Barons”, referring to Gaucher, notes that “en lui fut éteinte l’ancienne race des barons du nom et des armes de Sign-Let”.
1. JEAN [III] de Seignelay ([1295?]-before 1343). Seigneur de Seignelay: he is named as such in the mid-Nov 1343 charter of his widow, cited below. No document has been found which names Jean [III] in his own capacity. m ([before 1320?]) [as her first husband,] MARGUERITE de Saint-Florentin, daughter of JEAN Vicomte de Saint-Florentin & his wife --- (-after 1343). Hermelin records her parentage (no source cited), incorrectly identifying her husband as “Etienne III baron de Seignelay” as noted above[630]. The manuscript “Carte des Barons de Sign-Let” also records the supposed marriage of “Etienne III” with “Marguerite vicomtesse de Saint-Florentin”, noting that “estant veufve et sans enfans de lui” Marguerite married secondly “Jean de Soigne ou de Saint-Seine...à cause d’elle baron et seigneur en partie de Seign-Let, 1337, mourut 1343”[631]. If the “Carte des Barons” is correct, Marguerite married secondly Jean de Soigne [de Saint-Seine], but no other document has yet been found which confirms his existence. Her husband is correctly identified by Duchesne who records “Marguerite de Sainct Florentin veuve de Jean Seigneur de Saillenay” selling “la vicomté de Sainct Florentin” to King Philippe VI by letters dated 1343 which name “Gaucher sire de Saillenay escuyer fils de feu Jean de Saillenay”[632]. The document in question is reproduced by Hermelin: “Marguerite de Sainct-Florantin dame de Saillenay, femme jadix de...feu Monseigneur Jehan jadix seigneur de Saillenay” sold “la viconté de Sainct-Florantin” to Philippe VI King of France and his wife Jeanne de Bourgogne, with the consent of “Gauchiers sires de Saillenay escuiers, filz de la dicte dame et doudit feu...Jehan de Saillenay chevalier jadix son mary”, by charter dated mid-Nov 1343[633]. A 1356 charter of the hospital of Saint-Florentin records “la royne Jeanne de Bourgoingne...au temps qu’elle tenait la chastellenie de Saint-Florentin en sa maison de Saillenay, jadis vicomtesse de la ville de Saint-Florentin”[634]: Henry comments that “le manque de documents nous a empêché d’éclaircir ce fait important de notre histoire”, but the involvement of Jeanne de Bourgogne [Queen of France, who died 12 Dec 1349] is explained by the mid-Nov 1343 charter cited above. Jean & his wife had [two] children: a) GAUCHER de Seignelay ([1320?]-[1360]). The manuscript “Carte des Barons de Sign-Let” (see the introduction above) names Gaucher ”cousin d’Etienne III” (no sources cited)[635]. His correct parentage is confirmed by his mother’s mid-Nov 1343 charter quoted below. His birth date is estimated from the date of his first marriage, bearing in mind his father’s likely birth date, and on the assumption that he was of age in Nov 1343. Seigneur de Seignelay. [His mother] “Marguerite de Sainct-Florantin dame de Saillenay, femme jadix de...feu Monseigneur Jehan jadix seigneur de Saillenay” sold “la viconté de Sainct-Florantin” to Philippe VI King of France and his wife Jeanne de Bourgogne, with the consent of “Gauchiers sires de Saillenay escuiers, filz de la dicte dame et doudit feu...Jehan de Saillenay chevalier jadix son mary”, by charter dated mid-Nov 1343[636]. Jean II King of France, at the request “ex parte Gaucherii domini de Sellegniaco militis, et ejus uxoris...”, granted remission for illegal actions during the English invasion of the Auxerrois by charter dated May 1361[637]. The reference to his wife suggests that Gaucher was deceased at the time. m firstly (before 6 Feb 1348) ISABELLE de Joinville, daughter of ERARD de Joinville Seigneur de Doulevant & his wife ---. “Gaucher sire de Seignelay et de Rebourseau” confirmed that “son père Erard de Joinville sire de Doulevant” granted harvest rights “sur le territoire d’Arnoncourt” to the Templars, donated since her marriage “par ledit Erard à sa fille Isabelle de Joinville”, by charter dated 6 Feb 1347 (O.S.?)[638]. m secondly MARIE de Lézinnes, daughter of JEAN “Trouillard” Seigneur de Lezinnes & his wife Jeanne de Bourlémont (-1386). Petit records her parentage, her marriage to “Gaucher de Seignelay, alors veuf d’Isabeau de Joinville, et dernier descendant mâle de cette famille de Seignely, mort en 1360 pendant l’invasion anglaise”, adding that she sued her brother in Mar 1375 (O.S.), settled a dispute with Molesme concerning Lezinnes, left a testament, and died in 1386 “sans laisser de postérité” having survived her husband for 26 years[639]. Marie retained an interest in the seigneurie of Seignelay after her husband died, as shown by Petit’s statement that she sued “Philippe de Savoisy chambellan du roi” between 1377 and 1380 (see below) concerning repairs to Seignelay castle “qu’ils possédaient en commun”[640]. How Philippe de Savoisy acquired an interest in Seignelay is discussed below. “Marie de Lesine dame de Saillenay et du dit Lesignes en partie” donated money, which reverted to her after the death of “Marguerite-la-Prévoste femme feu Jehan Vandraces du dit Lesignes, nostre femme mainmortable”, to Pontigny by charter dated [19/26] Oct 1383[641]. b) [MARGUERITE de Seignelay ([1320/30?]-before 1373). Forestier indicated that the inheritance of Seignelay was divided following the death “avant 1373” of “Marguerite jadiz dame de Saillegnay, femme de monseigneur Philibert de Montagu, sire de Saint Pereuse” and shared between her Villebéon cousins who are named below[642]. He cites no sources but, assuming that he is correct, the logical explanation is that Marguerite was the sister of Gaucher Seigneur de Seignelay. An alternative possibility is that Marguerite was Gaucher’s first cousin. The chronology of the Seignelay family suggests that Marguerite must have been the second wife of Philibert [I] de Montagu Seigneur de Couches not the first wife of Philibert [II]. If that is correct, her husband was not “sire de Saint Pereuse” as indicated by Forestier, as Sainte-Pérouse entered the Montagu/Couches family on the marriage of Hugues, son of Philibert [I]. m ([1335/45?]) as his second wife, PHILIBERT [I] de Montagu Seigneur de Couches, son of ETIENNE de Montagu Seigneur de Sombernon et de Malain & his wife Marie de Bauffremont Dame de Couches ([1300?]-4 May ----)]. 2. [--- de Seignelay . If Forestier correctly names [her son] Jean de Villebéon as “cousin germain” of Marguerite de Seignelay, his mother was the sister of Jean [III] Seigneur de Seignelay. The primary source which confirms that this family relationship is correct has not been identified.] m --- de Villebéon, son of ---. Three children: a) JEAN de Villebéon (-after 28 Aug 1373). Forestier records, after the death of Marguerite de Seignelay (wife of Philibert de Montagu, see above), three parts of the seigneurie de Seignelay being held by (1) “Jehan de Villebeon, chevalier, cousin germain de la défunte”, who sold his rights in Seignelay [to Philippe de Savoisy] for “3000 livres tournois...”, ratified by “sa femme, madame Guie de Flavigny” by charter dated 28 Aug 1373 [no citation reference]; (2) “Marguerite, sœur de Jehan”, who later died and was succeeded in her share by “son frère [Jean]”; and (3) “Isabeau, sœur du même, épouse de Jehan de Hautefeuille”, who exchanged their rights in Seignelay [with Philippe de Savoisy] “contre cession de la terre d’Ormeau et de Rigny” (no sources cited)[643]. m (before 28 Aug 1373) GUYE de Flavigny, daughter of ---. Forestier records one part of the seigneurie de Seignelay being held by (1) “Jehan de Villebeon, chevalier, cousin germain de la défunte”, who sold his rights in Seignelay [to Philippe de Savoisy] for “3000 livres tournois...”, ratified by “sa femme, madame Guie de Flavigny” by charter dated 28 Aug 1373 ... (no sources cited)[644]. b) MARGUERITE de Villebéon . Forestier records, after the death of Marguerite de Seignelay (wife of Philibert de Montagu, see above), three parts of the seigneurie de Seignelay being held by ... (2) “Marguerite, sœur de Jehan”, who later died and was succeeded in her share by “son frère [Jean]” ... (no sources cited)[645]. c) ISABELLE de Villebéon . Forestier records, after the death of Marguerite de Seignelay (wife of Philibert de Montagu, see above), three parts of the seigneurie de Seignelay being held by ...

The primary source which confirms the parentage of the following person has not been traced.
1. JEAN de Seignelay . Seigneur de Sainte-Péreuse. m ---. The name of Jean’s wife is not known. Jean & his wife had one child: a) JEANNE [Isabelle] de Seignelay . Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage, noting the marriage “avant 1353” (no sources cited)[647]. The chronology of the Montagu family suggests that she married several years earlier. Dame de Sainte-Péreuse. The manuscript “Carte des Barons de Sign-Let” (see the introduction above) records [her son] ”Philibert de Montagu, chevalier, baron de Sign-Let, par acquisition ou par alliance; avait contestation avec Miles seigneur de Noyers, pour le titre de Bassou, 1369” (no sources cited), Henry noting that “Isabelle [error for Jeanne?] de Saillenay” married “Hugues de Montagu seigneur de Couches”[648]. Forestier records that “Isabelle de Seignelay” [referring to “Jeanne”] married “Hugues de Montaigu seigneur de Couches” by whom she had “un fils Alexandre, abbé de Flavigny en 1361”, and that Hugues was deceased in 1375 when a charter was approved by “sa fille et héritière, Philiberte, dame de Cheny et de Beaumont” (no citation reference)[649]. m HUGUES de Montagu Seigneur de Couches, son of PHILIBERT de Montagu Seigneur de Couches & his wife --- ([1315/20?]-[before 1375 or after 1381]). Seigneur de Sainte-Péreuse, de iure uxoris.
The manuscript “Carte des Barons de Sign-Let” (see the introduction above) does not explain how the Savoisy family acquired the seigneurie de Seignelay[650]. Henri Forestier, in his 1926 thesis, indicated that “Philippe de Savoisy seigneur de Courdaoul” bought the castle and seigneurie de Seignelay 9 Mar 1373 (O.S.?) (no citation reference), at which time it was held by the king who had acquired the county of Auxerre in 1371. Forestier noted that, even before the sale, “un quart de Seignelay et dépendances” already belonged to Philippe and his wife “à certainne cause” but that the 1373 sale contract (l’acte de vente) provides no further information on this holding[651]. It is not clear to which this “quart” relates, as Forestier also indicates that Philippe de Savoisy had already bought a part interest in Seignelay from Jean de Villebéon (see above) for “3000 livres tournois...” and had acquired the interest held by Jean’s sister Isabelle de Villebón “contre cession de la terre d’Ormeau et de Rigny” (no sources cited)[652]. As noted above, Marie de Lézinnes, widow of Gaucher Seigneur de Seignelay held another part interest in Seignelay after her husband died, which at some point she may also have sold to Philippe de Savoisy as she had no direct heirs. In this way, Philippe de Savoisy may have collected different part interests in Seignelay by stages, eventually owning the totality. This suggestion does not exclude the possibility that Philippe or his wife was related in some way to the Seignelay seigneurial family and therefore had a personal interest in acquiring the seigneurie. Forestier noted that, in 1373, the seigneurie de Seignelay comprised “Seignelay, château, ville et châtellenie relevant du roi à cause du comté d’Auxerre, Bassou relevant de Seignelay, Rebourceaux relevant du roi et de Ligny le Châtel à cause du comté de Tonnerre” and other listed properties[653].
The following reconstruction of the seigneurs de Seignelay from the Savoisy family is based largely on Père Anselme, whose accuracy is inconsistent and cannot be guaranteed. Primary sources which confirm the information have not been identified unless otherwise stated below.
PHILIPPE de Savoisy, son of HEMONIN Seigneur de Savoisy & his wife Conegan --- (-25 Jul 1398). Père Anselme records that he and his brother divided their Burgundian territories 27 Nov 1357, Philippe taking “la Forte-Maison du Fossé, les terres d’Eschevannes et d’Is, avec quelques héritiers à Marcilly”[654]. Seigneur de Seignelay. Chambellan du Roi 1380. “Philippe de Savoisy chevalier seigneur de Saillenay” swore allegiance to Auxerre Saint-Germain for the fiefs of Montaigu, Mallevalle and others by charter dated 16 Aug 1397, in the presence of “Pierre de Savoisy évêque de Beauvais, fils du dit seigneur de Saillenay...Jean de Savoisy escuyer fils de messire Eudes de Savoisy chevalier...”[655]. “Philippe de Savoisy chevalier seigneur de Saillenay conseiller et chambellan du roi” donated “le paage...de Venousse” to Pontigny by charter dated 28 May 1398[656]. m MARIE de Duisy, daughter of PHILIPPE de Duisy [Maître-d’hôtel du dauphin Duc de Normandie] & his wife ---. Philippe & his wife had children: 1. CHARLES de Savoisy (-before 2 Dec 1372). m (contract 30 Jan 1370 (O.S.?), ratified 28 Dec 1371) as her first husband, MARGUERITE de Châtillon, daughter of JEAN [I] de Châtillon Comte de Porcien & his second wife Jacqueline de Dammartin Dame de Beaumont-le-Bois (-after 15 Jul 1389). Père Anselme records her parentage and her marriage to Charles de Savoisy, noting the dates of their marriage contract and ratification[657], which must have been her first marriage. She married secondly Guillaume de Fayel Vicomte de Breteuil. Letters dated 15 Jul 1389 record a claim by "Guillelmo de Fayello dicto le Besgué milite vicecomite de Bretolio ac cambellano nostro et…Margareta de Castellione domina de Porciano eius uxore” against “Ioanne de Castellione milite fratre dicta Margareta liberis comitis de Porciano…et defuncta Iaqueline de Dompnomartino eisudem comitis uxoris” regarding their father’s succession[658]. 2. PIERRE de Savoisy . Bishop of Le Mans 1385. Bishop of Beauvais 1397. “Philippe de Savoisy chevalier seigneur de Saillenay” swore allegiance to Auxerre Saint-Germain for the fiefs of Montaigu, Mallevalle and others by charter dated 16 Aug 1397, in the presence of “Pierre de Savoisy évêque de Beauvais, fils du dit seigneur de Saillenay...Jean de Savoisy escuyer fils de messire Eudes de Savoisy chevalier...”[659]. 3. ISABELLE de Savoisy . m (contract 21 Jan 1387) JEAN de Melun “le Brun” Seigneur de la Borde, son of ---. 4. CHARLES de Savoisy (-[1418/3 Aug 1420]). Seigneur de Seignelay.

CLAUDE de Beauvoir Vicomte d’Avalon, Seigneur de Chastelus et de Mont-Saint-Jean, son of ---. b) PHILIPPE de Savoisy (-before 12 Jan 1488). Seigneur de Seignelay. Philippe de Savoisy Seigneur de Seignelay and Auxerre Saint-Germain settled disputes by charter dated 26 Jun 1458[660]. m (24 Mar 1455) MARGUERITE de Lugny, daughter of JACQUES Seigneur de Lugny & his wife Catherine de Dyo (-after 1489). Philippe & his wife had children: i) CLAUDE de Savoisy (-[10 Jun/31 Dec] 1517). Seigneur de Seignelay. m (Château de Marigny, near Semur 2 Oct 1472) LOUISE de la Baume-Montrevel, daughter of ---. ii) PERRETTE de Savoisy . m (contract 3 Mar 1482 (O.S.))

She inherited one-third of Seignelay on the death of her brother[661]. m JACQUES Malain Baron de Lux, son of --- (-1536). iv) MADELEINE de Savoisy (-after 6 Jun 1553). She inherited two-thirds of Seignelay, Cheny, Beaumont and Bassou on the death of her brother[662]. m (contract 11 Apr 1499) FRANÇOIS de la Rivière Seigneur de Champlemy, son of --- (-1536). c) ISABELLE de Savoisy (-before 1463). m (before 19 Jan 1435 (O.S.?)) BLANCHES d’Estouteville Seigneur de Villebon et de Montdoucet, son of --- (-after 1463).
The manuscript “Carte des Barons de Sign-Let” (see the introduction above) traces the succession of Seignelay, after the death of Claude de Savoisy (see above), through his sister Madeleine successively to the Rivière, Buz, Malain and Boucher families, and the sale of Seignelay by Marie de Boucher (with the consent of her husband Pierre de Choulard) to Jean-Baptiste Colbert (minister of King Louis XIV) whose great-granddaughter married Charles François de Montmorency-Luxembourg[663].

NARJOT [I] de Toucy, son of ITIER [I] Seigneur de Toucy & his wife --- (-[Jerusalem] before 1110). A charter dated to [1100] records a donation to Molesme by “miles…Marcus”, with the consent of “domno Iterio de Toceio”, records that Itier constituted “domnus Hugo frater eius” as his heir before leaving for Jerusalem where he died, and a subsequent confirmation by “domnus Hugo frater eius” with the consent of “Norgaudus frater eius” before they both travelled to Jerusalem, and a last donation by Hugues after his return[672].

H. SEIGNEURS de VENISY
Venisy is located north-east of Auxerre in the present-day département of Yonne, in the canton of Brienon-sur-Armançon. The Venisy family rose to retrospective fame in the early 13th century dispute between Pope Innocent II and Erard de Brienne Seigneur de Ramerupt concerning the validity of his marriage to Philippa of Jerusalem [Champagne], their consanguinity being traced to a common descent from Philippe I King of France, in the case of Erard through Adelais de Venisy. The family of earlier seigneurs de Venisy in the mid-12th century is reconstructed mainly from charters in the collection of the cartulary of Yonne.
Two siblings: 1. ARNAUD [de Venisy] . A charter dated 20 May 1145 records the donation to the abbey of Dilo of “censum suum…apud Naalli” by “Joffridus de Montchardun”, which the monks had repurchased from "Arnaudo avunculo Garini de Venesi"[747]. It is possible that Arnaud was deceased at the date of the charter, his interest in the property in question having been inherited by Garnier. It is not known whether Arnaud was the maternal or paternal uncle of Garnier. The term "avunculus" would indicate his maternal uncle if used in its strict sense, but the word was often used more loosely in contemporary documentation. 2. [brother/sister] --- . As noted above, it is not known which parent of the brothers Garnier and Anseau was the sibling of Arnaud. m ---. Two children: a) GARNIER [Warin] de Venisy (-after 1151). A charter dated 20 May 1145 records the donation to the abbey of Dilo of “censum suum…apud Naalli” by “Joffridus de Montchardun”, which the monks had repurchased from "Arnaudo avunculo Garini de Venesi", with the consent of "hoc Garino de Venesi et uxore eius de cujus feodo census est et filio ipsorum Anselmo", witnessed by "Garinus de Venesi, Anselmus filius eius…"[748]. - see below. b) ANSEAU de Venisy . “Garinus de Venisiaco et uxor mea Petronilla cum filio Ansello” confirmed a donation of land at Chailly to Pontigny, reciting a division of the land in the presence of “Ansello fratre meo”, by charter dated 9 Aug 1141, with the consent of "…filius noster Fregericus" and witnessed by "…Theobaldus de Venisiaco…"[749]. It is unclear from the wording of the document whether Anseau, brother of Garnier, was deceased at the time, the division of land having taken place at some time before the confirmation.
It is not known how the following family group was related to the main Venisy family, if at all.
1. GUILLAUME de Venisy . He is named as father of Thibaut in the 1143 charter witnessed by his son (see below). m ---. The name of Guillaume’s wife is not known. Guillaume & his wife had one child: a) THIBAUT de Venisy (-after 1143). “…Theobaldus de Venisiaco…” witnessed the charter dated 1138 under which recited the history of a donation to Pontigny[750]. “Garinus de Venisiaco et uxor mea Petronilla cum filio Ansello” confirmed a donation of land at Chailly to Pontigny, reciting a division of the land in the presence of “Ansello fratre meo”, by charter dated 9 Aug 1141, with the consent of "…filius noster Fregericus" and witnessed by "…Theobaldus de Venisiaco…"[751]. “…Theobaldus filius Guillelmi de Venisiaco…” witnessed the charter dated 1143 under which the archbishop of Sens confirmed a donation to Pontigny[752].
GARNIER [Warin] de Venisy, son of --- (-after 1151). A charter dated 1139 records donations to the abbey of Dilo, including the donation of “feodum de Thori” by “Symon Pichered” which was confirmed by "Garnerus de Venisy…a quo feodum istud tenebat"[753]. “Garinus de Venisiaco et uxor mea Petronilla cum filio Ansello” confirmed a donation of land at Chailly to Pontigny, reciting a division of the land in the presence of “Ansello fratre meo”, by charter dated 9 Aug 1141, with the consent of "…filius noster Fregericus" and witnessed by "…Theobaldus de Venisiaco…"[754]. A charter dated 20 May 1145 records the donation to the abbey of Dilo of “censum suum…apud Naalli” by “Joffridus de Montchardun”, which the monks had repurchased from "Arnaudo avunculo Garini de Venesi", with the consent of "hoc Garino de Venesi et uxore eius de cujus feodo census est et filio ipsorum Anselmo", witnessed by "Garinus de Venesi, Anselmus filius eius…"[755]. Hugues Bishop of Auxerre noted that “Garinus de Venesiaco et uxor sua Petronilla et filii sui Ansellus et Ferricus” had relinquished claims “in territorio de Burs” in favour of Pontigny by charter dated 1146[756]. A charter dated to after 1151 recites the donation of “feodum de Thori” by “Symon Pichered” to Dilo abbey, confirmed by "Garnerus…de Venisiaco a quo feodum illud Symon tenebat et uxor Garini Petronilla sed et filius eius Ansellus", and a later donation confirmed by "Ansellus…de Venisiaco…et frater Anselli, Freherus, sed et uxor sua Elisabeth", as well as other donations by Anseau, Isabelle and Ferry[757]. m PETRONILLE, [sister of Hélisende, wife of Anseau [I] Seigneur de Traînel,] daughter of --- (-after 1146). “Garinus de Venisiaco et uxor mea Petronilla cum filio Ansello” confirmed a donation of land at Chailly to Pontigny, reciting a division of the land in the presence of “Ansello fratre meo”, by charter dated 9 Aug 1141, with the consent of "…filius noster Fregericus" and witnessed by "…Theobaldus de Venisiaco…"[758]. The origin of Pétronille is not known. A possible clue is provided by the charter dated [25 Mar 1184/24 Mar 1185] under which "Garnerius de Triagnello" confirmed that "domna A[aliz] consanguinea mea" [Petronille’s granddaughter, wife of André de Brienne Seigneur de Ramérupt] had renounced rights over the wood of Saint-Etienne in favour of Pontigny[759]. The precise relationship between the two has not been traced. It is possible that rights to Saint-Etienne entered the Vénisy family through the wife of Garnier [Warin] and that Garnier [II] de Traînel retained some residual rights through a family relationship with her. The family origin of Garnier de Traînel’s mother is not known (see CHAMPAGNE NOBILITY) but she was also involved in a donation relating to the wood of Saint-Etienne and it would be chronologically possible for her to have been a sister of Pétronille. A charter dated 20 May 1145 records the donation to the abbey of Dilo of “censum suum…apud Naalli” by “Joffridus de Montchardun”, which the monks had repurchased from "Arnaudo avunculo Garini de Venesi", with the consent of "hoc Garino de Venesi et uxore eius de cujus feodo census est et filio ipsorum Anselmo", witnessed by "Garinus de Venesi, Anselmus filius eius…"[760]. Hugues Bishop of Auxerre noted that “Garinus de Venesiaco et uxor sua Petronilla et filii sui Ansellus et Ferricus” had relinquished claims “in territorio de Burs” in favour of Pontigny by charter dated 1146[761]. Garnier & his wife had two children: 1. ANSEAU de Venisy (-after 1151). “Garinus de Venisiaco et uxor mea Petronilla cum filio Ansello” confirmed a donation of land at Chailly to Pontigny, reciting a division of the land in the presence of “Ansello fratre meo”, by charter dated 9 Aug 1141, with the consent of "…filius noster Fregericus" and witnessed by "…Theobaldus de Venisiaco…"[762].

Hugues Bishop of Auxerre noted that “Garinus de Venesiaco et uxor sua Petronilla et filii sui Ansellus et Ferricus” had relinquished claims “in territorio de Burs” in favour of Pontigny by charter dated 1146[764]. “…Alelmus de Veniseio…” witnessed the charter dated to before 1150 under which "Hugo Pauper, filius Galteri Rufi" donated property to Vauluisant[765]. A charter dated to after 1151 recites the donation of “feodum de Thori” by “Symon Pichered” to Dilo abbey, confirmed by "Garnerus…de Venisiaco a quo feodum illud Symon tenebat et uxor Garini Petronilla sed et filius eius Ansellus", and a later donation confirmed by "Ansellus…de Venisiaco…et frater Anselli, Freherus, sed et uxor sua Elisabeth", as well as other donations by Anseau, Isabelle and Ferry[766]. "Ansellus de Venesiaco et Freerius" donated rights in the wood of Rajeuse to Pontigny, with the consent of "Isabel uxor Anselli", by charter dated [25 Mar 1152/24 Mar 1153], witnessed by “Guillelmus archidiaconus, Herveus prepositus frater eius...”[767]. m ([1136]) [as her first husband,] ISABELLE de Nangis Dame de Nangis, daughter of FLEURI de France Seigneur de Nangis & his wife [--- de Nangis] ([1118]-[after 1166/67]). Documents dated Jul 1213 and Aug 1213, relating to the consanguinity between Erard de Brienne Seigneur de Ramerupt and his wife Philippa of Jerusalem, record "rex Franciæ…Grossus rex fratrem…Florium…filia Isabellis de Nangies…domina de Venisiaco", adding that her daughter was "domina de Venisiaco, mater…[Erardum de Rameruco] [Erardum de Brena]", another document in the series clarifying that Isabelle was the mother of "Aalaidis dominæ Venisiaci…mater…Erardi"[768]. "Ansellus de Venesiaco et Freerius" donated rights in the wood of Rajeuse to Pontigny, with the consent of "Isabel uxor Anselli", by charter dated [25 Mar 1152/24 Mar 1153], witnessed by “Guillelmus archidiaconus, Herveus prepositus frater eius...”[769]. Dame de Nangis. A charter dated to after 1151 recites the donation of “feodum de Thori” by “Symon Pichered” to Dilo abbey, confirmed by "Garnerus…de Venisiaco a quo feodum illud Symon tenebat et uxor Garini Petronilla sed et filius eius Ansellus", and a later donation confirmed by "Ansellus…de Venisiaco…et frater Anselli, Freherus, sed et uxor sua Elisabeth", as well as other donations by Anseau, Isabelle and Ferry[770]. She is named in the cartulary of Preuilly[771]. [She married secondly Guy [de Marolles]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Isabelle married firstly "Guy de Marolles", adding that he joined the crusade in 1141 and died in Palestine[772]. The primary source on which this is based is not known. However, under a charter dated to [1166/67], Louis VII King of France confirmed donations of property to the abbey of Barbeau, including the donation of "apud capellam de Sarnai" made by "Guidonis de Nangiis…cum assensu uxoris sue Helisabeth" and with the consent of "Milo de Corteriaco…uxore et filiis"[773]. It is possible that "Guidonis de Nangiis" is the same person as Guy de Marolles, and that his wife "Helisabeth" was Isabelle de Nangis. If this is correct, Guy would have been Isabelle’s second husband not her first, assuming that the charter relates to then current donations. This would also be consistent with her supposed daughter by this marriage having given birth to children from her second marriage (to Adam de Melun) in the 1180s. Anseau & his wife had one child: a) ADELAIS de Venisy (-[20 Mar 1221/Nov 1222]). "Andreas de Venesiaco" ratified an agreement with Pontigny regarding the wood of Saint-Etienne, with the consent of "uxor mea Aaliz et filius meus Gauterius", by charter dated [25 Mar 1184/24 Mar 1185][774]. "Gaucherus de Joviniaco et dominus de Rameruco" confirmed the donation to Montiéramy made by “Andreas dominus de Rameruco cujus uxorem post eius obitum desponsavi” by charter dated 1195[775]. Documents dated Jul 1213 and Aug 1213, relating to the consanguinity between Erard de Brienne Seigneur de Ramerupt and his wife Philippa of Jerusalem, record "rex Franciæ…Grossus rex fratrem…Florium…filia Isabellis de Nangies…domina de Venisiaco", adding that her daughter was "domina de Venisiaco, mater…[Erardum de Rameruco] [Erardum de Brena]", another document in the series clarifying that Isabelle was the mother of "Aalaidis dominæ Venisiaci…mater…Erardi"[776]. Dame de Venisy. “Dominus Gaucherus de Jovigniaco et domina Aelicia de Venesiaco uxor eius et dominus Erardus de Brena ipsius Aelicie filius” confirmed the donation made by “Milo de Pogiaco et Helisabeth uxor sua” to Sens Maison-Dieu by charter dated Aug 1207[777]. “Gaucherus de Joviniaco dominus Venisiaci...et uxor mea A. et filius eius E. de Brena” relinquished rights in the forest of Saint-Etienne in favour of Pontigny abbey by charter dated 1211[778]. m firstly (before 1167) ANDRE de Brienne Seigneur de Ramerupt, son of GAUTHIER [II] Comte de Brienne & his [first/second] wife Humbeline de Baudément (-killed in battle Acre Oct 1189). m secondly (before 1295) as his first wife, GAUCHER de Joigny Seigneur de Châteaurenard, seneschal de Nevers, son of RENARD [IV] Comte de Joigny & his wife Adelaide de Nevers (-before Nov 1237). 2.
