The pagus Tornodorensis was one of the ten pagi which were situated within the diocese of Langres, centred on the town of Tonnerre and corresponding approximately with the archidiaconat of Tonnerrois[1]. Le Maistre provides a detailed description of the geographical extent of the pagus, together with a map[2]. The county of Tonnerre evolved in the northern part of the area which later evolved into the duchy of Burgundy. The bishops of Langres were suzerains of Tonnerre in the early 12th century: Pope Pascal II confirmed the possession of numerous castles to the bishop of Langres, including “...castrum Tornodorense...”, by bull dated [1105][3].
Chapter 1. COMTES et VICOMTES de TONNERRE
A. COMTES de TONNERRE
1. MILO, son of --- (-902 or before). Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks confirmed a judgment relating to property of Kloster Kempten by charter dated 11 Mar [853] which names "advocati sui Milonis, Babone, Fritilone, Etzone comitibus"[4], although it is not known whether "advocati…Milonis" is the same Milon as named in the other references shown below. A document issued by Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks dated Nov 853 names "Teutboldus episcopus, Ionas episcopus, Isembardus, et Abbo abba, Daddo" as missi in "in comitatibus Milonis, et in comitatibus Isembardi, Augustuduno scilicet, Matisconense, Divionense, Cabillone, Hatuariis, et in Tornedriso, et in Belniso, et in Dusmiso comitatu Attelæ, et in comitatu Romoldi"[5]. "Vir nobilis Milo cum conjuge sua Suficia" donated property "in villa de Monte Usclato et in pago Lugdunensi, in vicaria Soyonense in villa Carabaciago" to the abbey of Saint-Chaffre by charter dated "Lothario rege"[6]. A document of Lothar II King of Lotharingia dated 865 relating to the king's reacceptance of his wife Theotberga names "de comitibus Milo, Ratherius, Erlandus, Theutmarus, Weremboldus, Rocolfus comes" as those swearing allegiance[7]. m firstly SULPICIE, daughter of ---. "Vir nobilis Milo cum conjuge sua Suficia" donated property "in villa de Monte Usclato et in pago Lugdunensi, in vicaria Soyonense in villa Carabaciago" to the abbey of Saint-Chaffre by charter dated "Lothario rege"[8]. m secondly as her second husband, ADELA, widow of ---, daughter of ---. "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[9].
1. EUDES [Odo], son of EUDES Comte [de Troyes] & his wife --- (-after 886). The Chronicle of St Bénigne de Dijon names "duo filii Rotberti Andegavorum comitis…senior Odo..Robertus alter"[10]. "Karolus…rex" granted "villam Cadusiam" to "fideli sui Roberto" in a charter dated 25 Oct 877 which names "Odoni comiti fratri Roberti…cum Tournodrinsis ville pagensibus"[11]. Comte de Tonnerre. Abbo's Bella Parisiciæ Urbis records the part played by "comites Odo fraterque suus…Rotbertus pariterque comes" at the siege of Paris in 886[12].
1. MILON [I] (-before 950). "Milonis senioris mei" is named in the donation of Adalgaris for, among others, his soul, dated 950[13]. m ADALGARDIS [Adela], daughter of LANDRY comes & his second wife Emma --- (-after 950). "Adalgaris" names her parents in her charter dated 950, which also names her brother, husband and three sons[14]. "…Adelæ comitissæ, Milonis comitis filii eius" subscribed the charter dated 8 Sep 975 under which "Adelelmus miles" donated property to Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire for the souls of "genitore meo Rotberto et genitrice mea Bertha et…Burcardo"[15]. Bouchard says it is possible to identify Adela, wife of Milo, with the daughter of Humbert [I] Seigneur de Salins who was the mother of Wandelmodis and grandmother of Engelbert Comte de Brienne[16], but this theory is disproved by the charter evidence referred to above. Milon [I] & his wife had three children: a) MILON [II] (-[Jul 980/[992]). "Milone filiis meis" consented to the donation of Adalgardis dated 950[17]. "…Adelæ comitissæ, Milonis comitis filii eius" subscribed the charter dated 8 Sep 975 under which "Adelelmus miles" donated property to Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire for the souls of "genitore meo Rotberto et genitrice mea Bertha et…Burcardo"[18]. Comte de Tonnerre. - see below. b) ADEHAR (-after 950). "Adhyrardo filiis meis" consented to the donation of Adalgaris dated 950[19]. c) QUILTO (-after 950). "Queltonis filii mei" consented to the donation of Adalgaris dated 950[20].
MILO [II], son of MILON [I] & his wife Adalgardis --- ([910/35]-[Jul 980/[992]). "Milone filiis meis" consented to the donation of Adalgardis dated 950[21]. His birth date range is estimated for the purposes of assessing the number of generations between Milon [II] and Milon [V], as explained further below. "…Adelæ comitissæ, Milonis comitis filii eius" subscribed the charter dated 8 Sep 975 under which "Adelelmus miles" donated property to Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire for the souls of "genitore meo Rotberto et genitrice mea Bertha et…Burcardo"[22]. Comte de Tonnerre. “Milo comes pagi Tornodorensis…et Ingeltrudis uxoris suæ” restored the monastery of Saint-Michel, naming property "in pago Brionense in villa Jasant" half of which was donated immediately and the other half "post excessum Ingeltrudis uxoris suæ", by charter dated Jul 980, signed by "Richardi comitis, Milonis"[23]. A charter dated to [992] records that “comite Milone pagum Tornodorensem” had retired to the monastery of Saint-Michel de Tonnerre[24]. An undated charter records that "Milo quondam comes" donated property "in villa…Jassant" to Saint-Michel, property claimed after his death by "comes Ingelbertus", witnessed by "…Witerius vicecomes…"[25]. m INGELTRUDE, daughter of ---. “Milo comes pagi Tornodorensis…et Ingeltrudis uxoris suæ” restored the monastery of Saint-Michel, naming property "in pago Brionense in villa Jasant" half of which was donated immediately and the other half "post excessum Ingeltrudis uxoris suæ", by charter dated Jul 980, signed by "Richardi comitis, Milonis"[26]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[27], she was Ingeltrude de Brienne, possible daughter of Engelbert [I] de Brienne, but the basis for this speculation has not been found. It is possible that it is based on the location of the property donated in the Jul 980 charter quoted above. The correctness of the speculation appears confirmed by an undated charter which records that "Milo quondam comes" donated property "in villa…Jassant" to Saint-Michel, and that the property was claimed after his death by "comes Ingelbertus" (presumably either Engelbert [II] or Engelbert [III] Comte de Brienne)[28]. Milon [II] & his wife had [two] children: 1. GUY de Tonnerre ([935/60]-). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 29 Sep 1046 in which Milon [V] Comte de Tonnerre names some of his paternal ancestors “Milo atavus meus…Wuydo proavus meus…Milo pater meus…” (see further details below)[29]. The difficulty with this is the absence of "abavus" and “avus” from the series of ancestors. Bouchard suggests that the charter should be interpreted as indicating that Guy was the son of Milon [II][30]. This is probably correct, as shown by the following assessment of the chronology of the family. It is assumed that Milon [II] is identified as the “atavus” because of his mention in the document as founder of the monastery. It is likely that Milon [II] died during the 980s, as shown above, which would place his birth within the wide range of [910/40]. If this is correct, and if the birth date range of Milon [V] is correctly estimated as shown below, Milon [V] would most likely have been in the fourth succeeding generation, and therefore the great-grandson of Milon [II]. The chronology therefore indicates that neither “atavus” nor “proavus” should be interpreted in this document with their traditional meanings of great-great-great grandfather and great grandfather. m ---. The name of Guy's wife is not known. Guy & his wife had one child: a) MILON [III] ([965/80]-). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 29 Sep 1046 in which Milon [V] Comte de Tonnerre names some of his paternal ancestors “Milo atavus meus…Wuydo proavus meus…Milo pater meus…” (see further details below)[31]. As explained above under Milon [III]’s father Guy, the chronology of this family does not favour the interpretation of "proavus" in this document in any other way than "grandfather", despite this not being strictly correct from the point of view of language. If this is correct, Guy was the father of Milon [III]. m ---. The name of Milon’s wife is not known. Milon [III] & his wife had two children: i) MILON [V] de Tonnerre ([995/1005]-[before/after 29 Sep 1046]). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 29 Sep 1046 in which Milon [V] Comte de Tonnerre names some of his paternal ancestors “Milo atavus meus…Wuydo proavus meus…Milo pater meus…” (see further details below)[32]. His birth date range is estimated on the assumption that the birth date range estimated for his son Guy is correct as suggested below. Comte de Tonnerre. - see below. ii) GUY de Tonnerre (-before 29 Sep 1046). “Milo comes castri Tornodori” donated property to Saint-Michel de Tonnerre, for the souls of “Milo atavus meus” (founder of the monastery) “Wuydo proavus meus…Milo pater meus…Wuydo frater meus…et Wuydo filius meus”, by charter dated 29 Sep 1046[33]. 2. [LETGARDE (-after 1016). "Leotgarda comitissa…ac filii mei Rogerii" donated "terram…in villa…Jassant" to Saint-Michel by charter dated to [1005], signed by "Rogerius comes, Richardus, Rainardus comes, Alberic, Erembertus vicecomes, Milo…"[34]. Ernest Petit highlights that the same property was named in the charter dated Jul 980 in the name of Milon [II] Comte de Tonnerre and his wife Ingeltrude, and suggests therefore that Letgarde must have been their descendant[35]. Europäische Stammtafeln[36] shows Letgarde as the daughter of "Wido proavus Milonis comitis", the latter referring presumably to the 1046 charter of Comte Milon [V]. However, the chronology appears to favour her being the daughter of Milon [II]. The Chronicle of St Bénigne de Dijon records a donation of "ecclesiam…in villa Islo-super-Mosam fluvium in comitatu Bassignacensi" by "matrona…Letgardis…soror Lamberti episcopi" [probably Bishop of Langres], undated but among other records of donations in the late 1020s[37]. Ernest Petit suggests that "soror" could be interpreted in this document as meaning sister-in-law as well as sister[38]. m RICHARD Comte de Bassigny, de Bologne, de Vigory et d'Andelot, son of --- (-before 1005).]
1. HUMBERT (-after [992]). “Umbertus…et mee conjugis…Giberge” donated property "in villa…Curtis-Secreta…in comitatu Tornodorense" to Saint-Michel de Tonnerre by charter dated to [992], signed by "heredum meorum…Regnaldus, Odo filius eius, Milo, Achardus, Nivardus, Lancelinus, Walo, Otbertus, Rotbertus, Wido" and witnessed by "Milo comes, Lambertus, Richardus, Albericus, Archanradus, Calo, Girvardus, Raynardus comes, Erembertus, Ormundus, Widricus, Milo, Achardus, Odo, Raynardus"[39]. Ernest Petit suggests that Humbert was a probable uncle of Milon [II] Comte de Tonnerre[40]. This supposition is supported by the names of Humbert’s heirs and the witnesses of the charter. m GIBERGE, daughter of --- (-after [992]). “Umbertus…et mee conjugis…Giberge” donated property "in villa…Curtis-Secreta…in comitatu Tornodorense" to Saint-Michel de Tonnerre by charter dated to [992], signed by "heredum meorum…Regnaldus, Odo filius eius, Milo, Achardus, Nivardus, Lancelinus, Walo, Otbertus, Rotbertus, Wido"[41]. Humbert & his wife had children: a) RAINARD (-after [992]). “Umbertus…et mee conjugis…Giberge” donated property "in villa…Curtis-Secreta…in comitatu Tornodorense" to Saint-Michel de Tonnerre by charter dated to [992], signed by "heredum meorum…Regnaldus, Odo filius eius, Milo, Achardus, Nivardus, Lancelinus, Walo, Otbertus, Rotbertus, Wido"[42]. m ---. The name of Reynaud’s wife is not known. Reynaud & his wife had one child: i) EUDES . “Umbertus…et mee conjugis…Giberge” donated property "in villa…Curtis-Secreta…in comitatu Tornodorense" to Saint-Michel de Tonnerre by charter dated to [992], signed by "heredum meorum…Regnaldus, Odo filius eius, Milo, Achardus, Nivardus, Lancelinus, Walo, Otbertus, Rotbertus, Wido"[43]. b) other children. “Umbertus…et mee conjugis…Giberge” donated property "in villa…Curtis-Secreta…in comitatu Tornodorense" to Saint-Michel de Tonnerre by charter dated to [992], signed by "heredum meorum…Regnaldus, Odo filius eius, Milo, Achardus, Nivardus, Lancelinus, Walo, Otbertus, Rotbertus, Wido"[44]. It is not known how many of these named individuals were the donor’s children or more remote heirs.
1. MILON [IV] de Tonnerre ([950/65]-1002 or after). The parentage of Milon [IV] is not known. There are three possibilities. Firstly, he could have been the same person as Milon [III] shown above as father of Milon [V]. This is not an ideal fit. Milon [IV] does not name Milon and Guy among his “carissimorum filiorum” in his charter dated to [992/1005] (see below)[45]. The addition of “carissimorum” suggests that the three sons named in the document were his only children, as it is difficult to imagine how he could have had other children whom he did not consider “carissimorum”. One possibility is that Milon [V] and Guy would have been born after the date of the charter. However, the document strongly suggests that it was written with the donor’s death in mind as he requests that his own and his wife’s anniversaries be remembered, although it is of course not impossible that he recovered from the illness from which he was suffering and had more children. Secondly, Milon [IV] could have been an older son of Milon [II] who succeeded his father in the county. The birth date ranges for Milon [IV] and for Guy, known son of Milon [II], allow for this possibility. Thirdly, he could have been the son of an otherwise unknown older son of Milon [II] who succeeded his paternal grandfather in the county. The birth date ranges are not incompatible with this possibility either, assuming that Milon [II]’s son Guy was born early in the date range shown for him above, while Milon [IV] was born late in his birth date range. As can be seen, no factor points conclusively to one of these possibilities being correct. It is preferable therefore to avoid further speculation and show his parentage as unknown, although it should be emphasised that the suggested birth date ranges assigned to the various members of this family are speculative and that the conclusions could be different if they were incorrect. Comte de Tonnerre. "Milo comes, Lambertus, Richardus, Albericus, Archanradus, Calo, Girvardus, Raynardus comes, Erembertus, Ormundus, Widricus, Milo, Achardus, Odo, Raynardus" witnessed the charter dated to [992] under which “Umbertus…et mee conjugis…Giberge” donated property "in villa…Curtis-Secreta…in comitatu Tornodorense" to Saint-Michel de Tonnerre[46]. "…Raynardi comitis…Milonis comitis, Aremberti…" subscribed a charter dated to [997] which deals with the property at Coussegré[47]. “Milo comes Tornodorensis castri” donated property "in villa…Curtis-Secreta" to the monastery of Saint-Michel, with the consent of “coniugis mee Ermengarde et carissimorum filiorum meorum Achardi, Rainardi et Alberici”, by charter dated to [992/1005][48]. The charter appears to have been written with his own death in mind as he requests the anniversaries of his own and his wife’s deaths to be remembered. m ERMENGARDE, daughter of --- (-after 1018). Ernest Petit suggests that she was Ermengarde, daughter and heiress of Rainard Comte [de Bar-sur-Seine] & his wife ---, , in order to explain how her granddaughter by Comte Milon, Eustachia, transmitted this county to her husband Gauthier de Brienne[49]. A family connection is indicated by the charter dated to [992/1005] uner which “Milo comes Tornodorensis castri” donated property "in villa…Curtis-Secreta" to the monastery of Saint-Michel, with the consent of “coniugis mee Ermengarde et carissimorum filiorum meorum Achardi, Rainardi et Alberici”[50], the property being the same as the subject of the [992] charter witnessed by "…Raynardus comes…"[51]. According to Ernest Petit[52], Ermengardis married secondly Héribert [IV] Comte de Vermandois. The author highlights a charter of Ermengarde Ctss de Vermandois witnessed by Rainard Comte de Tonnerre. He suggests that Rainard would only have done this if he were the son of Ermengarde, although other explanations must be possible. Settipani points out[53] that Ermengardis is named as the wife of Héribert in a document of her father-in-law Albert I Comte de Vermandois, relating to the abbey of Homblières, dated some time between 982 and the death of Comte Albert (in 987). If the two marriages apply to the same Ermengarde, Comte Héribert must therefore have been her first husband and Comte Milon her second. However, it is not clear that this suggested co-identity is correct, a simpler explanation being that there were two different individuals named Ermengarde. "Raynardus comes Tornodorensis pagi et mater mea Ermengardis comitissa" donated "alodum nostrum…Cappam" to Saint-Michel by charter dated 1002, signed by "Odonis vicecomitis…"[54]. Count Milon [IV] & his wife had four children: a) ACHARD de Tonnerre . “Milo comes Tornodorensis castri” donated property to the monastery of Saint-Michel, with the consent of “coniugis mee Ermengarde et…filiorum meorum Achardi, Rainardi et Alberici”, by charter dated to [992/1005][55]. "Milo comes… Achardus, Odo, Raynardus" witnessed the charter dated to [992] under which “Umbertus…et mee conjugis…Giberge” donated property "in villa…Curtis-Secreta…in comitatu Tornodorense" to Saint-Michel de Tonnerre[56]. It is possible that the last three names in the list refer to the children of Milon [IV] Comte de Tonnerre. [A monk in 1018.] b) [EUDES de Tonnerre . "Milo comes… Achardus, Odo, Raynardus" witnessed the charter dated to [992] under which “Umbertus…et mee conjugis…Giberge” donated property "in villa…Curtis-Secreta…in comitatu Tornodorense" to Saint-Michel de Tonnerre[57]. It is possible that the last three names in the list refer to the children of Milon [IV] Comte de Tonnerre. c) RAINARD de Tonnerre ([980/90]-after 16 Jul 1039). “Milo comes Tornodorensis castri” donated property to the monastery of Saint-Michel, with the consent of “coniugis mee Ermengarde et…filiorum meorum Achardi, Rainardi et Alberici”, by charter dated to [992/1005][58]. "Milo comes… Achardus, Odo, Raynardus" witnessed the charter dated to [992] under which “Umbertus…et mee conjugis…Giberge” donated property "in villa…Curtis-Secreta…in comitatu Tornodorense" to Saint-Michel de Tonnerre[59]. It is possible that the last three names in the list refer to the children of Milon [IV] Comte de Tonnerre. Comte de Tonnerre. "Raynardus comes Tornodorensis pagi et mater mea Ermengardis comitissa" donated "alodum nostrum…Cappam" to Saint-Michel by charter dated 1002, signed by "Odonis vicecomitis…"[60]. "Leotgarda comitissa…ac filii mei Rogerii" donated "terram…in villa…Jassant" to Saint-Michel by charter dated to [1005], signed by "Rogerius comes, Richardus, Rainardus comes, Alberic, Erembertus vicecomes, Milo…"[61]. “Rainaldus comes” donated property to the monastery of Saint-Michel, for the soul of “filii mei Othonis” buried in the monastery and “uxore mea Herviz…filio nostro Arduyno ac filia Ermengarda”, by charter dated Jul 1036, subscribed by “…Raynaldi comitis, Willelmi comitis filius eius”[62]. “Raynardus comes” donated property to the monastery of Saint-Michel (on his deathbed), with the consent of “uxoris mee Herviz et filii mei Harduini sive filie mee Ermengarde”, by charter dated 16 Jul 1039 which also names “mater mea Ermengardis”[63]. m (after 1002) HELVIS, daughter of --- (-after 16 Jul 1039). “Rainaldus comes” donated property to the monastery of Saint-Michel, for the soul of “filii mei Othonis” buried in the monastery and “uxore mea Herviz…filio nostro Arduyno ac filia Ermengarda”, by charter dated Jul 1036[64]. “Raynardus comes” donated property to the monastery of Saint-Michel (on his deathbed), with the consent of “uxoris mee Herviz et filii mei Harduini sive filie mee Ermengarde”, by charter dated 16 Jul 1039 which also names “mater mea Ermengardis”[65]. Rainard & his wife had three children: i) OTTO de Tonnerre (-before Jul 1036, bur Tonnerre Saint-Michel). “Rainaldus comes” donated property to the monastery of Saint-Michel, for the soul of “filii mei Othonis” buried in the monastery and “uxore mea Herviz…filio nostro Arduyno ac filia Ermengarda”, by charter dated Jul 1036[66]. Otto is shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[67] as having three possible sons, Robert, Wido and Renaud, all “puer” 1036. This is based on the charter of “Rainaldus comes” dated Jul 1036 (see above). The full list of subscribers to this document is: “Rainaldi comitis, Arduini, Erviz matris eius, Ermengardæ sororis eius, Ervei, Widonis, Hugonis, Barnuynis, Wydonis, Emelini, Iterii, Widrici, Rotberti clerici, Hugonis, Rodulfi, Attonis, Raynaldi, Rotberti pueri, Widonis pueri, Raynardi pueri, Richardi, Otmundi, Attoni, Joffredi, Otmundi, Aymonis, Millonis clerici, Raynaldi comitis, Willelmi comitis filii eius”[68]. None of the names has been identified apart from Comte Renaud and his immediate family, and the last two. The names of the three “pueri” have no special priority in the order of the list and it seems pure speculation to suggest that they may have been the sons of Otto, deceased son of Renaud. ii) HARDOUIN de Tonnerre (-29 Sep 1065). “Rainaldus comes” donated property to the monastery of Saint-Michel, for the soul of “filii mei Othonis” buried in the monastery and “uxore mea Herviz…filio nostro Arduyno ac filia Ermengarda”, by charter dated Jul 1036[69]. “Raynardus comes” donated property to the monastery of Saint-Michel (on his deathbed), with the consent of “uxoris mee Herviz et filii mei Harduini sive filie mee Ermengarde”, by charter dated 16 Jul 1039 which also names “mater mea Ermengardis”[70]. Archdeacon at Noyon until 1050. Bishop of Langres 1050. iii) ERMENGARDE de Tonnerre ([1023/26]-before 1090). “Rainaldus comes” donated property to the monastery of Saint-Michel, for the soul of “filii mei Othonis” buried in the monastery and “uxore mea Herviz…filio nostro Arduyno ac filia Ermengarda”, by charter dated Jul 1036[71]. Her birth date is estimated from her marriage in [1039], combined with the fact that she was still not of marriageable age in 1036. “Raynardus comes” donated property to the monastery of Saint-Michel (on his deathbed), with the consent of “uxoris mee Herviz et filii mei Harduini sive filie mee Ermengarde”, by charter dated 16 Jul 1039 which also names “mater mea Ermengardis”[72]. Her marriage is referred to in the Gesta pontificum Autissiodorensium[73]. She succeeded as Ctss de Tonnerre in 1065 when her cousin Comte Hugues-Rainard became bishop of Langres[74]. m ([1039]) as his first wife, GUILLAUME [I] Comte de Nevers et d'Auxerre, son of RENAUD [I] Comte de Nevers & his wife Hedwig [Avoie] de France [Capet] (-20 Jun 1098, bur Nevers Saint-Etienne). d) AUBRY de Tonnerre . “Milo comes Tornodorensis castri” donated property to the monastery of Saint-Michel, with the consent of “coniugis mee Ermengarde et…filiorum meorum Achardi, Rainardi et Alberici”, by charter dated to [992/1005][75]. "Leotgarda comitissa…ac filii mei Rogerii" donated "terram…in villa…Jassant" to Saint-Michel by charter dated to [1005], signed by "Rogerius comes, Richardus, Rainardus comes, Alberic, Erembertus vicecomes, Milo…"[76]. 992-1002/before 1016.
MILON [V] de Tonnerre, son of MILON [III] & his wife --- ([995/1005]-[before/after 29 Sep 1046]). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 29 Sep 1046 in which Milon [V] Comte de Tonnerre names some of his paternal ancestors “Milo atavus meus…Wuydo proavus meus…Milo pater meus…” (see further details below)[77]. His birth date range is estimated on the assumption that the birth date range estimated for his son Guy is correct as suggested below. Comte de Tonnerre. He presumably succeeded his cousin Renaud as Comte de Tonnerre in [1039/40]. “Milo comes castri Tornodori” donated property to Saint-Michel de Tonnerre, for the souls of “Milo atavus meus” (founder of the monastery) “Wuydo proavus meus…Milo pater meus…Wuydo frater meus…et Wuydo filius meus”, adding that the last named had been killed “a servis suis”, with the consent of “uxoris mee Azece ac filiorum meorum”, by charter dated 29 Sep 1046, which specifies that after the death of “supradicti Milonis regnante filio eius Hugone…”, subscribed by “Waleranni filii eius, Joffredi filii eius” and signed by “Hugonis qui et Raynardi…comitis, Thedbaldi Ruffi, Lamberti vice-comitis, Giselberti et Wydonis et Gaufredi fratrum, Rodulphi, Willenci, Odonis filii Ingelbaudi”[78]. It is unclear from the wording of the charter whether the document is dated before or after the death of the donor. m AZECA, daughter of --- (-before 1068). “Milo comes castri Tornodori” donated property to Saint-Michel de Tonnerre, with the consent of “uxoris mee Azece ac filiorum meorum”, by charter dated 29 Sep 1046, subscribed by “Waleranni filii eius, Joffredi filii eius”[79]. Her date of death is fixed by the charter dated 1068 under which her son “Raynardum…[Lingonensis] ecclesie pontificali” donated property to Saint-Michel de Tonnerre referring to property donated “post mortem matris meæ”[80]. Milon [V] & his wife had five children: 1. GUY de Tonnerre ([1025/30]-before 29 Sep 1046). “Milo comes castri Tornodori” donated property to Saint-Michel de Tonnerre, for the souls of “… Wuydo filius meus”, adding that the last named had been killed “a servis suis”, by charter dated 29 Sep 1046[81]. His birth date range is estimated on the assumption that he was no longer a child when killed “a servis suis”, assuming that he died shortly before his father’s 1046 charter. 2. HUGUES RAINARD de Tonnerre (-2/3 Apr 1084). “Milo comes castri Tornodori” donated property to Saint-Michel de Tonnerre, by charter dated 29 Sep 1046, which specifies that after the death of “supradicti Milonis regnante filio eius Hugone…”, signed by “Hugonis qui et Raynardi…comitis…”[82].

Grand Master of the Knights Templar 1229. f) ALIX [Elisabeth] de Montbard . Guillaume’s Vita Sancti Bernardi names “Bernardus Burgundiæ partibus, Fontanis oppido patris sui oriundus...mater Aleth, ex castro...Mons-Barrus...”, noting that the couple had seven children[205]. Geoffroy’s Vita Sancti Bernardi names “Elizabeth...Bernardi de Monte-Barro filia” as mother of Saint-Bernard[206]. Her parentage is corroborated by the undated charter cited below in which [her brother] “Rainardus Montisbarri castri dominus” names Saint-Bernard “nepotis sui”, assuming that the term can be interpreted in its strict sense of nephew. m TECELIN “Sorus” [Rufus/Le Roux] Seigneur de Fontaines [lès-Dijon], son of --- (-11 Apr ----). Guillaume’s Vita Sancti Bernardi names “Bernardus Burgundiæ partibus, Fontanis oppido patris sui oriundus...pater eius Tecelinus [al Tesselenis]...”[207]. This information is supplemented by Geoffroy’s Vita Sancti Bernardi which names “Tecelinus...cognomento Sorus...genere nobilis...indigena Castellionis...dominus minoris castri...Fontanæ” as father of Saint-Bernard[208]. Jobin speculates inconclusively on Técelin’s parentage, citing various charters which could name his father[209]. The use of the nickname “Rufus” suggests a connection with the family of the Seigneurs de Châtillon [sur-Seine], which seems to have adopted “Rufus” as a family name (see the document CHAMPAGNE NOBILITY-BAR-sur-SEINE, BAR-sur-AUBE). Jobin speculates that Técelin’s brother was “Othe ou Othon de Châtillon seigneur de Saffres” and suggests other possible family connections, discussing in particular whether his mother was “Eve de Grancey” [who has not been identified in the Grancey family, see the document BURGUNDY DUCHY-DIJON][210]. An indication that Técelin’s mother married twice is provided by the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines which indicates that "Guido de Acromonte" [Guy d’Aigremont, see the document CHAMPAGNE NOBILITY-BASSIGNY & BOLENOIS] was “ex parte matris frater Tescelini Sori de Fontanis”, who was "pater beati Bernardi Clarevallensis abbatis", and that they had "alios fratres, Holdoinum qui fuit avus Albrici de Esmanciis et Hainonem de Columbeio, patrem Abelini"[211]. The necrology of Dijon Saint-Bénigne records the death “III Id Apr” of “Tescelinus monachus pater domni Bernardi abbatis Clarævallis”[212]. Técelin & his wife had seven children: i) GUY de Fontaines (-after 1141). Guillaume’s Vita Sancti Bernardi names “Bartholomæus...junior cæteris fratribus...Andreas, Bernardo etiam ipse junior...Guido primogenitus fratrum...”[213]. Jean l’Hermite’s Vita Sancti Bernardi names (in order) “Guido primogenitus...secundus Girardus...tertius Bernardus...quartus Andreas...quintus Bartholomæus...sextus Nivardus” as their parents’ six sons[214]. “Domnus Bernardus Clareuallensis abbas...Guido frater eius...” witnessed a charter of Godefroi Bishop of Langres dated 1141[215]. Jobin speculates about his descendants[216]. m [ELISABETH], daughter of ---. Guillaume’s Vita Sancti Bernardi records that Guy’s wife was separated from her husband and “in cœtum sanctimonialium transiit feminarum, religiose usque hodie serviens Deo”[217]. The Diatriba de illustri genere S. Bernardi (no author specified: unclear when written, this document does not appear reliable) says that Guy’s wife was “filiam...comitis Florestensis. Forestensem fortasse, seu Foresiensem voluit dicere”[218]: no source is cited, and no indication is provided about the identity of the “comes” in question. Jobin says that “elle aurait été fille du comte de Forez”, commenting that “cette assertion, dénuée de preuves, a paru suspecte au Père Chifflet”[219]. Jobin names her “Elisabeth”, adding that she retired first to Molesme, and “vers 1114 ou 1115” to Jully-les-Nonains where she became prioress, and was later prioress at Larrey[220]. The primary source which confirms her name has not been identified. Guy & his wife had [two children]: (a) [--- . Petit says that Barthélemy de Sombernon married “la fille de Gui de Fontaines-les-Dijon, frère de Saint-Bernard, et devient par elle seigneur de Fontaines” (no sources cited)[221]. The Diatriba de illustri genere S. Bernardi (no author specified: unclear when written, this document does not appear reliable) records that “Guidonis aliam...filiam” inherited “Fontanensis toparchiæ” and married “Bartholomæo de Sombernione”, who became “dominum de Fontanis, nempe ex conjugis dote”[222]. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified. Jobin records the same information, citing only Petit[223]. The suggestion may originally have been speculative, presumably aimed at explaining Barthélemy’s being named “de Fontanis” in an 1154 charter (follow his hyperlink) which could be due to a connection between his wife and the family of Saint-Bernard. m BARTHELEMY de Sombernon, son of GUY [I] Seigneur de Sombernon & his wife --- (-after 1154).] (b) [ADELINE (-after 1165). The Diatriba de illustri genere S.

Jobin names “Adeline abbesse de Poulangy” as another daughter of Guy[225]. Gallia Christiana is more cautious, naming her “Adelina Godefridi episcopi Lingon. et S.

E. SEIGNEURS de NOYERS
The town of Noyers (now called Noyers-sur-Serein) straddles the banks of the river Serein, about 10 kilometres south of Tonnerre, in the present day French département of Yonne. The date of construction of the castle of Noyers, around which the town later developed, is unknown. Members of the seigneurial family are first named in sources in the mid-11th century. By the early 14th century, the family was enjoying a position of authority and power in the French royal court, with Milon [X] Seigneur de Noyers appointed maréchal de France and leading a mission to meet the English king during the build-up to the Hundred Years War.
1. MILON [I] [de Noyers] (-after 1039). Europäische Stammtafeln names “Milon I de Noyers 1039/1078” as the earliest member of this family[341]. It is possible that the earlier date refers to the following charter: "...Milonis..." witnessed the charter dated 16 Jul 1039 under which "Raynardus comes" donated property to Saint-Michel abbey[342]. It is possible that 1078 relates to the charter dated to [1078/84], quoted below, witnessed by “Milo de Nugerio” who was most likely Milon [II] de Noyers.
2. ETIENNE de [Noyers] (-after 22 Mar 1078). Europäische Stammtafeln names “Etienne de Noyers 1078” as an early member of this family[343]. It is possible that the date refers to the following charter: "...Stephani de Noveris..." witnessed the charter dated 22 Mar 1077 (O.S.?) under which Hugues Duke of Burgundy donated "ecclesiam sanctæ Dei genitricis Mariæ...in castro Avalonensi" to Cluny[344]. However, the early charters in which this family is named normally use “Nuceriis” to indicate Noyers. It is uncertain therefore whether Etienne was a member of the Noyers family.
3. GILBERT de Noyers . He is named as father of Hugues in the charter dated [1078/84] witnessed by his son (see below). m ---. The name of Gilbert's wife is not known. Gilbert & his wife had one child: a) HUGUES de Noyers (-after [1078/84]). "Wibertus de Castro-Censurii" donated property to the abbey of Molesme by charter dated to [1078/84], witnessed by "Milo de Nugerio, Hugo filius Gislberti de Nugerio"[345]. "Milo de Nucerio…filius eius…Milo" donated property to the abbey of Molesme by undated charter, witnessed by "Hugo, filius Gisleberti, Otho de Nucerio"[346]. "Hugo de Nucerio, filius Gisleberti" donated property to the abbey of Molesme by undated charter, with the support of "filiis suis Adam et Milone"[347]. m ---. The name of Hugues's wife is not known. Hugues & his wife had one child: i) ADAM de Noyers (-after 1130).

Adam & his wife had two children: (a) HUGUES . "Miles...Adam filius Hugonis Judicis, de Nuceriis" donated "tertiam partem decimæ agriculturæ Fontismensium fratrum" to Fontenoy monastery, with the consent of “uxor ipsius Adæ nomine Regina et duo filii eius Hugo et Matheus”, by charter dated 1130[351]. (b) MATHIEU . "Miles...Adam filius Hugonis Judicis, de Nuceriis" donated "tertiam partem decimæ agriculturæ Fontismensium fratrum" to Fontenoy monastery, with the consent of “uxor ipsius Adæ nomine Regina et duo filii eius Hugo et Matheus”, by charter dated 1130[352]. ii) MILON de Noyers . "Hugo de Nucerio, filius Gisleberti" donated property to the abbey of Molesme by undated charter, with the support of "filiis suis Adam et Milone"[353].
4. OTTO de Noyers . "Milo de Nucerio…filius eius…Milo" donated property to the abbey of Molesme by undated charter, witnessed by "Hugo, filius Gisleberti, Otho de Nucerio"[354].
1. MILON [II] de Noyers (-after 1104). "Wibertus de Castro-Censurii" donated property to the abbey of Molesme by charter dated to [1078/84], witnessed by "Milo de Nugerio, Hugo filius Gislberti de Nugerio"[355]. A charter dated 1104 records that “…Wido de Nuceriis” donated property to two hermits, adding that he held his share of the property “de domno Milone de Nuceriis”, with the consent of “uxoris suæ Teclinæ” whom he married in that year and of “domno Milone a quo tenebat et uxore sua Anna et filio eius Milone”[356]. m ANNE, daughter of --- . A charter dated 1104 records that “…Wido de Nuceriis” donated property to two hermits, adding that he held his share of the property “de domno Milone de Nuceriis”, with the consent of “domno Milone a quo tenebat et uxore sua Anna et filio eius Milone”[357]. Milon [II] & his wife had three children: a) MILON [III] (-[1125/31?]). A charter dated 1104 records that “…Wido de Nuceriis” donated property to two hermits, adding that he held his share of the property “de domno Milone de Nuceriis”, with the consent of “domno Milone a quo tenebat et uxore sua Anna et filio eius Milone”[358]. "Milo de Nucerio…filius eius…Milo" donated property to the abbey of Molesme by undated charter, witnessed by "Hugo, filius Gisleberti, Otho de Nucerio"[359]. Seigneur de Noyers. [“Miles III sire de Noyers...avec Agnès sa femme, Miles son fils, Elisabeth et Philippe ses filles” ratified the donation of produce from their mill “de Hergiaco” made to Molesme by "son féal Barthélemy de Cicons chevalier d’accord avec Hugues chevalier et Miles ses enfants" by charter dated [20 Apr 1180/5 Apr 1181][360]. If Milon [III] was the donor (and he is the only 12th century seigneur de Noyers whose wife is recorded as Agnes), this charter was incorrectly dated.] [His son] “Milo dominus de Noiers” notified that “pater meus Milo” had donated “grangiam de Vilers...et pastura castellanie de Noiers” to Pontigny, by charter dated [25 Mar 1181/24 Mar 1182] (no indication of the date of the donation made by Milon [III])[361]. Petit cites no dated donations made by Milon [III][362]. Europäische Stammtafeln cites dates “1104/30” and indicates that Milon [III] died “(1131)”[363]. The primary source which confirms this date has not been identified. The marriage of Milon’s son Milon [IV] is dated to “before [1150/55]”, suggesting his birth in [1120/25], which could be consistent with his father’s death in [1125/31]. m as her first husband, AGNES, 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 which confirm that Etienne Seigneur de Pierre-Perthuis was the son of Avalon [II] Seigneur de Seignelay), and also noting her later Seignelay marriage [364]. She married secondly ([1127/31]?) as his second wife, Avalon [II] Seigneur de Seignelay. The manuscript “Carte des Barons de Sign-Let” says that Avalo [II] married “la veufue de Miles de Noyers, nommée Agnès, qui lui procréa trois [probably incorrect number] garçons”[365]. The approximate date of her Seignelay marriage is based on Europäische Stammtafeln recording that her first husband died “(1131)”, but as noted above 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 Noyers 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] 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][366]. The two marriages could also help explain why the life of Hugues de Noyers Bishop of Auxerre [her supposed first husband’s grandson, see below] names “Senonensis archiepiscopus Guido [her son by her second husband], avunculus episcopi”[367]. 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”[368]. [“Miles III sire de Noyers...avec Agnès sa femme, Miles son fils, Elisabeth et Philippe ses filles” ratified the donation of produce from their mill “de Hergiaco” made to Molesme by "son féal Barthélemy de Cicons chevalier d’accord avec Hugues chevalier et Miles ses enfants" by charter dated [20 Apr 1180/5 Apr 1181][369]. If Milon [III] was the donor (and he is the only 12th century seigneur de Noyers whose wife is recorded as Agnes), this charter was incorrectly dated.] Milon [III] & his wife had [six] children (in addition, numerous secondary sources name Guy de Seignelay, appointed archbishop of Sens in 1177, as another son. Follow the hyperlinks for discussion about his parentage): i) MILON de Noyers (-young). Petit names “Mile IV mort jeune” as the first son of Milon [III] without citing any source[370].

If Milon [III] was the donor (and he is the only 12th century seigneur de Noyers whose wife is recorded as Agnes), this charter was incorrectly dated. In that case, the donor’s son could have been this Milon or the younger Milon who is named below.] ii) [ELISABETH de Noyers . “Miles III sire de Noyers...avec Agnès sa femme, Miles son fils, Elisabeth et Philippe ses filles” ratified the donation of produce from their mill “de Hergiaco” made to Molesme by "son féal Barthélemy de Cicons chevalier d’accord avec Hugues chevalier et Miles ses enfants" by charter dated [20 Apr 1180/5 Apr 1181][372].

This charter also suggests that the family relationship between Jean [II] de Montmirail Comte de Chartres (see the document PARIS REGION NOBILITY) and both Elisabeth and her half-brother Milon [VII] must have been through their mother. There are too many possibilities covered by the imprecise term “consanguineus” to speculate sensibly on the exact relationship.

Jean Seigneur de Charny” as the wife of Milon [VII][450]. “Milo dominus Noeriorum” confirmed the donation to Crisenon abbey made by “Clarembaudus...pater meus”, with the consent of “Agnes uxor mea, Milo filius meus et Elisabeth filia mea”, by charter dated Nov 1224[451]. 1186/1234.

The charter dated [Mar/Apr] 1251 quoted below refers to her in the past tense, indicating that she was deceased at the time. As her husband emancipated his sons in 1272 (see below), it is unlikely that they were older than 18/20 years at the time, which suggests that they could not have been born from --- des Barres whose death can probably be estimated to [1250].

Milon [IX] & his wife had children (in addition to the following, Duchesne records “Guy de Noyers premierement archidiacre en l’église de Sens...esleu archevesque de Sens 1177” as third son of Milon [IX] & his wife[469], which is clearly anachronistic, see above): i) MILON [X] de Noyers (-21 Sep 1350, bur Abbaye de Marcilly-lès-Avallon).

F. SEIGNEURS de SAVOISY
Savoisy is located about 10 kilometres north-east of Montbard, in the present-day French département of Côte-d’Or, arrondissement Montbard, canton Laignes. The following reconstruction 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 shown below.
1. HEMONIN [Aimon?] de Savoisy (-before 27 Nov 1357). Seigneur de Savoisy, de Bierry et de Chevigny. He was deceased when his sons shared their territories 27 Nov 1357, as noted below. m CONEGAN, daughter of --- (-bur Orléans église des Cordeliers). Père Anselme records her marriage and her burial place, without citing any sources on which the information is based[524]. It is possible that she was relating to Guillaume Seigneur de Fossé, noted by Père Anselme as “oncle” of her son Eudes (see below). Hemonin & his wife had two children: a) EUDES de Savoisy (-after 11 Oct 1386). Seigneur de Savoisy et du Fossé. Père Anselme records that he and his brother divided their Burgundian territories 27 Nov 1357, Eudes taking Savoisy, Bierry and Chevigny, and “la terre de Miquel de ceux de Guillaume seigneur du Fossé son oncle”[525]. The primary source which confirms his date of death has not been identified. m firstly ---. The name of Eudes’s first wife is not known. This first marriage is confirmed because Eudes’s son Gaucher married the daughter of Eudes’s known wife by her first marriage. m secondly ([1377]) as her second husband, MARGUERITE de Joinville Dame de la Fauche,, widow of HENRI de Saint-Dizier Seigneur de Roche-sur-Marne, daughter of OGIER de Joinville Seigneur d'Effincourt & his wife Marguerite de Joinville (-after 1410). Jolibois names Marguerite as older daughter of Ogier de Joinville and his wife, and records her first and second marriages (no sources cited)[526]. Documents dated Sep 1381 record that “Messire Renaut de Mello et sa femme, auparavant femme de Messire Hue de Grand” claimed against “Messire Eudes de Savoisy et Marguerite de Dongeux sa femme fille de feu Messire Oger de Dongeux Seigneur de la Fauche, et Madame Ieanne de S. Disier fille de ladite Marguerite et de feu Henry de Saint Disier son premier mary...ores veuve de feu Guillaume de Grançon”, noting that her [Jeanne’s] father died 1376 “environ Noel” and that her husband had died “il n y a pas trois sepmaines”[527]. A register dated 12 May 1397 records that “Ogerus de Dongeux miles” bought some properties and died leaving “Margareta uxore Henrici de Rupe militis dicti de Sancto Desiderio eius filia” who married secondly “Odone de Savoisiaco” as his heir[528]. A register dated 1407 records that “Margareta de Dougeux domina de la Fauche” married firstly “defuncto Henrico domino de Rupibus milite”, by whom she had “Ioanna domina de Rupibus uxor Ferrici de Chardoigne militis”, and secondly “Odone cum Savoisiaco milite”[529]. She married thirdly Crescent de Flévy. The primary source which confirms her third marriage has not been identified. The primary source which confirms her date of death has not been identified. Eudes & his first wife had three children: i) GAUCHER de Savoisy (-[1399/Jul 1401]). Seigneur de Savoisy. m (1398) as her third husband, his step-sister, JEANNE de Saint-Dizier Dame de Roche-sur-Marne et de la Fauche, widow firstly of GUILLAUME de Grandson and secondly of JACQUES de Vergy, daughter of HENRI de Saint-Dizier Seigneur de Roche-sur-Marne & his wife Marguerite de Joinville Dame de la Fauche (-after 18 Aug 1408). She married fourthly (before 13 Aug 1401) Ferry de Chardoigne. A register dated 1402 records that “Iohanna et Ysabellis de Altarapinapetra sorores...heredesque ut asserunt defuncti Edouardi quondam domini de S. Desiderio et de Vangionerivo” claimed against “Ferricum de Chardoigne militem et Iohannam dominam de Rupe eius uxorem heredem se dicentem præfati defuncti” regarding the disputed succession[530]. Gaucher & his wife had one child: (a) CHARLES de Savoisy ([1399/1401]-after 7 Sep 1444). Seigneur de Savoisy. m ---. The name of Charles’s wife is not known. Charles & his wife had [two] children: (1) JACQUELINE de Savoisy (-after 25 Aug 1461). Père Anselme records that she was called “fille et seule héritière” of Charles de Savoisy in the charter dated 25 Aug 1461 under which her husband swore allegiance to the French king for “la terre des Roches”[531]. m CLAUDE de Brinon, son of --- (-after 25 Aug 1461). (2) [MARGUERITE (-after 11 Sep 1462). Père Anselme records that she and her husband swore allegiance to the French king for “la moitié de la seigneurie des Roches” 11 Sep 1462, but that she and Jacqueline de Savoisy disputed the succession, recorded in documents in which Marguerite is neither described as sister of Jacqueline nor as daughter of Charles[532].

Seigneur de Tanlay. m (before 1266) as her first husband, MARGUERITE de Plancy Dame de Saint-Winemer, daughter of JEAN [I] Seigneur de Plancy et de Saint-Winemer & his wife ---. She married secondly Gaucher de Rochefort Vicomte de Chartres, Seigneur du Puiset. Jean [I] & his wife had children: i) ROBERT [II] de Tanlay (-1310, bur Quincy). Seigneur de Tanlay, de Ravières et de Saint-Winemer. m AGNES de Saint-Yon, daughter of --- (-31 Jul 1316, bur Quincy). Robert [II] & his wife had children: (a) GUILLAUME [II] de Tanlay (-before 1328). Seigneur de Tanlay. m ---. The name of Guillaume’s wife is not known. Guillaume [II] & his wife had children: (1) ROBERT [III] de Tanlay (-after 1341). Seigneur de Tanlay et de Saint-Winemer. m as her first husband, LAURE de Bourdeau Dame de Chastellus, daughter of GUILLAUME de Bourdeau & his wife Simone de Chastellus (-1384, bur priory of Souvigny, Allier). Auloy and Mouillebouche name her “Laure de Bourdeau”, identifying “La Tour Bourdeau, cne Saint-Symphorien-de-Marmagne, Saône-et-Loire”[556]. Europäische Stammtafeln records her precise parentage[557]: 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[558]. She married secondly as his second wife, Guillaume de Montagu Seigneur de Sombernon. She married thirdly ([1351]) as his second wife, Jean de Bourbon Seigneur de Montperroux. 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”, adding that the latter “se qualifiant sire de Chastelus, de Marigny et de Basoche” swore homage for these seigneuries in 1351 and 1352[559]. Kerrebrouck identifies “Jean de Bourbon seigneur de Montperoux” as Jean bâtard de Bourbon seigneur Rochefort[560]. This co-identity does not appear possible in light of the later charters quoted below, unless Jean was separated from Laure before he married his [second/third] wife in 1371. In addition, Kerrebrouck does not mention Gérard, named in the following extract as the son of Jean de Bourbon Seigneur de Montpéroux, as son of Jean bâtard de Bourbon Seigneur de Rochefort. “Jean de Bourbon Seigneur de Montperoux” has not otherwise been identified. 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[561]. 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[562]. 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”[563]. 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[564].

JEAN de Tanlay . Seigneur de Joux. “Robertus dominus de Tanlayo” confirmed the donation of property to Reigny abbey made by “frater meus Joannes de Tanlayo miles dominus de Jugis” by charter dated May 1244[567].
