The early history of the county of Vienne and the surrounding areas is confused. The county evolved from the pagus Viennensis. It formed part of the kingdom of Lotharingia, formed under the 843 treaty of Verdun which settled the disputes between the sons of Emperor Louis I. The county, based on the town of Vienne, was ruled from the mid-9th to mid-10th centuries by counts who are shown in Part A of this Chapter. Jurisdiction over the area was disputed in the early 10th century between the kings of the West Franks, the kings of Burgundy, and (because of the latter’s involvement in northern Italy) the kings of Italy. By the mid-10th century, the kings of Burgundy had prevailed, although the archbishops of Vienne increased their temporal power of the town and in 1023 acquired the county from Rudolf III King of Burgundy. As explained further in Part A, the comtes de Màcon (from the family of the counts of Burgundy) are recorded as holding an interest in the county from the late 12th century. Further confusion is introduced by the rise to power of the comtes d’Albon who ruled areas surrounding the town of Vienne as “Dauphins de Viennois” (see Parts C to E). The seigneuries in the Viennois included Clérieux, Clermont, Coligny, la Tour du Pin, Montauban, Mouillon, and Sassenage.

A. COMTES de VIENNE

The first named count in Vienne has been identified as the Carolingian noble Gérard. He probably originated in the Ardennes region, and was appointed to govern Vienne by Emperor Lothaire I in the early 850s. Isolated references to different counts at Vienne can be found in primary sources during the second half of the 9th and first half of the 10th centuries. The available information from primary sources is insufficient to be able to reconstruct a continuous line of comital succession, although it is clear that the appointment was not hereditary within the same family as six different families who held the title can been identified during this period.

GERARD [II], son of [LIUTHARD Comte de Fezensac & his wife Grimhild ---] (-[11 Feb or 4 Mar] 874, bur Avignon). The primary source which identifies Gérard as the son of Liuthard has not been identified. Emperor Lothaire confirmed a donation of property "in pago Arduennensi sitam…Villantia" to the abbey of Prüm by "Richardus quondam comes…per Biuinum fratrem suum, et Gerardum et Basinum qui et Tancredus comites" by charter dated 12 Nov 842[1], although it is not known whether this is the same Gérard. However, as both Gérard and the descendants of Bivin were associated with Provence, it is possible that their association started earlier in the Ardennes. Comte de Vienne. Emperor Lothaire returned property to the church of Lyon, at the request of “Gerardus…comes atque marchio”, by charter dated to [852][2]. A document issued by Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks dated Nov 853 names "Folcoinus episcopus, Adalgarius, Engilscalcus et Berengarius" as missi in "comitatu Berengarii, Engilscalchi, Gerardi et in comitatibus Reginarii"[3], although it is not known whether this count Gérard is the same person as the one named in the other references listed below. "Karoli rex, Hlotharii augusti filius" confirmed the privileges of the church of Villeurbane in favour of the church of Lyon at the request of "comes et parens noster ac nutritor Girardus" by charter dated 10 Oct 856[4]. The precise relationship between Comte Gérard and the Carolingian monarchs has not been established. The Chronico Vezeliacensi records that "Comes Girardus fundator hujus loci" died in 847 and was buried "apud Avinionem civitatem suam"[5], although the last two digits of the year have been transposed. The 13th century obituary of the Eglise primatiale de Lyon records the death "III Non" of "Geraldus comes"[6]. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés records the death "IV Non Mar" of "Gerardi comitis"[7].

BOSON, son of comte BUVINUS [Bouvin] & his wife --- d'Arles (-Vienne, Isère 11 Jan 887, bur Vienne, cathédrale de Saint-Maurice). The Annals of Hincmar name "Bosone filio Buvini quondam comitis" in 869[8]. An agreement between Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks and his brother Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks dated Jun 860 names "nobilis ac fidelibus laicis…Chuonradus, Evrardus, Adalardus, Arnustus, Warnarius, Liutfridus, Hruodolfus, Erkingarius, Gislebertus, Ratbodus, Arnulfus, Hugo, item Chuonradus, Liutharius, Berengarius, Matfridus, Boso, Sigeri, Hartmannus, Liuthardus, Richuinus, Wigricus, Hunfridus, Bernoldus, Hatto, Adalbertus, Burchardus, Christianus, Leutulfus, Hessi, Herimannus, item Hruodulfus, Sigehardus"[9], although it is not known whether "…Boso…" refers to the same person. His brother-in-law Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks gave him the abbey of Saint-Maurice d'Agaune. "Boso comes simulque Bernardus comes ad vicem" donated Nogent "in pago Otmense" for the soul of "quondam amici nostri Odonis comitis…uxoris suæ Guendilmodis" to Saint-Martin-des-Tours by charter dated 871 after 21 Jun[10]. He was invested as Comte de Vienne in 870 by King Charles II after the latter conquered the kingdom of Provence. He was installed as Comte de Berry in [872] after the deposition of Gérard comte en Aquitaine. He accompanied King Charles II to Italy in 875: an agreement dated Feb 876 of Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks names "Bosonis…ducis et sacri palatii archiministri atque imperiali missi" among those present in Italy with the king[11]. He was invested as dux regni Italici at Pavia in Feb 876, fulfilling the role of viceroy in the absence of the king. Recalled by Emperor Charles in early 877, Boson left his brother Richard in his place in Italy and became Governor and Comte de Provence [877]. He took part in the general rebellion of 877, refusing to swear allegiance to Louis II "le Bègue" King of the West Franks on his accession[12]. After the death of King Louis II, "Hugo abbas et Boso et alii" sent "Walterum Episcopum Aurelianensem et Goiranum et Anscherum comites" to Ludwig III King of the East Franks to offer him part of the kingdom in 879[13]. He was named King BOSON[14] at Mantaille, near Vienne 15 Oct 879 by the archbishops of Vienne, Besançon, Lyon, Tarentaise, Aix and Arles, and crowned at Lyon a few days later. He installed his capital at Vienne. The reigning Carolingian monarchs formed a league against him, captured Lyon, and besieged Vienne which fell in 882, although Boson refused to capitulate[15]. The Annales Fuldenses record that the sons of Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks fought "Buosonem in Galliam" in 880 and expelled him from "Madasconam urbem", accepting homage from "Bernhardum qui in ea principatum tenebat"[16]. The Annales Fuldenses record the death in 887 of "Buosone", leaving a young son by "filia Hludowici Italici regis"[17]. The epitaph of "Bosonis Regis" records his death "III Id Jan VIII anno regni sui"[18].

1. GUIGUES [Vigo] (-after 913). Comte de Vienne. "Ricardus…Comes, Wido Comes, Ugo Comes, Adelelmus Comes, Baterius Comes, Teutbertus Comes, Ragenardus Comes…" subscribed a charter dated to [890] which records a council held by "Ermengardis Regina et…Principes Ludovici filii Bosones" at Varennes[19]. "Guigo comes" donated property to "saint Alexandre, archévêque de Vienne" by charter dated 902[20]. Rivaz, in his compiled index of Burgundian charters. notes a charter dated 913 under which "Vigo Comte de Vienne" donated property to Alexandre archbishop of Vienne[21].

Two brothers, parents not known.

1. SIGBOD (-after 926). Comte de Vienne. "Teutberti" donated property to the church of Vienne, with the consent of "Siebodi comitis…germano suo" by charter dated 13 Apr 926[22], Rivaz, in his compiled index of Burgundian charters, noting that he was "Siebou comte de Vienne"[23] although this geographical epithet does not appear in the original charter.

2. TEUTBERT (-after 926). "Ricardus…Comes, Wido Comes, Ugo Comes, Adelelmus Comes, Baterius Comes, Teutbertus Comes, Ragenardus Comes…" subscribed a charter dated to [890] which records a council held by "Ermengardis Regina et…Principes Ludovici filii Bosones" at Varennes[24]. Louis King [of Provence] donated monasteriolum Mourtiers to the church of Apt, on the request of "fidelis Teutbertus…comes", by charter dated 896[25]. "Teutberti" donated property to the church of Vienne, with the consent of "Siebodi comitis…germano suo" by charter dated 13 Apr 926[26], Rivaz, in his compiled index of Burgundian charters, noting that he was "Siebou comte de Vienne"[27] although this geographical epithet does not appear in the original charter.

HUGUES, son of THEOTBALD Comte d'Arles & his wife Berta of Lotharingia [Carolingian] ([880]-10 Apr 947). "Hugo comes et marchio" names "patris mei Teutbaldi et matris meæ Berthe…" in a donation by charter dated 924[28]. "Hugo et Lotharius…reges" name "patris et matris nostræ Teubaldi…et Berte" in their donation to Cluny dated 8 Mar 934[29], although this incorrectly implies that Ugo and Lothar were brothers instead of father and son, which is proved by other sources. Comte de Vienne. He was elected as UGO King of Italy in 926. During this period Vienne was caught up in the rivalries between the kingdoms of Italy and Burgundy. As noted below, Raoul King of France granted the county of Vienne to Charles Constantin when Ugo succeeded as king of Italy, but evidently control was disputed as King Ugo granted Vienne to Héribert [II] Comte de Vermandois in 928 (see below). Flodoard provides an insight into the continuing rivalries regarding Vienne when he records in 933 that it was granted to "Rodulfo regi" [Rudolf II King of Upper Burgundy, see the document BURGUNDY KINGS][30].

CHARLES CONSTANTIN, son of Emperor LOUIS III, ex-King of Italy & his wife [Adelais ---] ([905/10]-after Jan 962). Flodoard names "Karlo Constantino, Lucdowici Orbi filio"[31]. "Hludovicus…imperator augustus" gave three serfs to "fideli nostro Bononi" at the request of "filius noster Karolus" by charter dated 3 Jun 924[32]. He was named Comte de Vienne in 926 by his cousin Raoul King of France, in succession to his cousin Hugues Comte d'Arles, when the latter was proclaimed Ugo King of Italy. As noted below, King Ugo of Italy removed the county of Vienne from Charles Constantin in 928 and granted it to Héribert de Vermandois. Charles Constantin remained at Vienne. Flodoard provides an insight into the continuing rivalries regarding Vienne when he records in 933 that it was granted to "Rodulfo regi" [Rudolf II King of Upper Burgundy, see BURGUNDY KINGS][33]. It is supposed that, from that time, Charles Constantin continued to hold the county under the suzerainty of the kingdom of Burgundy. Mermet records the existence of a peace treaty signed at the time between Ugo King of Italy and Rudolf II King of Burgundy which confirmed the latter’s rights to the Burgundian kingdom and Charles Constantin’s position in the county of Vienne[34]. Charles Constantin swore allegiance to Conrad "le Pacifique" King of Burgundy in 943[35]. The rivalry being the competing factions in France concerning the suzerainty over Vienne persisted, as indicated by Flodoard who recorded in 951 that Louis IV “d’Outremer” King of the West Franks summoned "Karlus Constantinus Viennæ princeps et Stephanus Arvernorum præsul" to swear allegiance[36]. "Karolus comes" sold land "in villa Brociano" by charter dated 19 May 960 which names "Teutbergi comitisse"[37].

1. HERIBERT [II] Comte de Vermandois, son of HERIBERT [I] Comte de Vermandois & his wife [Lietgardis] --- ([880]-23 Feb 943, bur Saint Quentin). He succeeded his father in [900/907] as Comte de Meaux, de Soissons et de Vermandois. His history in Vermandois and adjacent counties, as well as details of his marriage, is set out in NORTHERN FRANCE. [Comte de Vienne]: Flodoard records that Ugo King of Italy gave "provintiam Viennensem" to Héribert Comte de Varmandois in 928, and that "Odonis filii sui [=Heriberto]" was appointed vicecomes[38]. No primary source has yet been identified which describes Héribert as “Comte de Vienne” or confirms whether he adopted the comital title. Flodoard provides an insight into the continuing rivalries regarding Vienne when he records in 933 that it was granted to "Rodulfo regi" [Rudolf II King of Upper Burgundy, see BURGUNDY KINGS][39]. At that time, as noted above, Charles Constantin was confirmed as Comte de Vienne. Héribert [II] & his wife had children:

a) ODO [Eudes] ([915]-after 19 Jun 946). Vicomte de Vienne: Flodoard records that "Odonis filii sui [=Heriberto]" was appointed vicecomes when Ugo King of Italy gave his father "provintiam Viennensem" in 928[40]. His father left him in [927] as a hostage with Rollo Comte [de Normandie]. Unlike his father, he swore allegiance to Louis IV "d'Outremer" King of the Franks in 938 and received the guardianship of the royal residence at Laon. He occupied the town and county of Amiens, but was expelled in 944[41].

b) other children: - see NORTHERN FRANCE.

After the death of Charles Constantin, no reference has been found to any successor comtes de Vienne until the mid-12th century. It is probable that from the mid-10th century the kings of Burgundy themselves assumed control over the county and delegated its administration to the vicomtes de Vienne who are recorded until 1032 (see Part B of the present Chapter). Meanwhile, the archbishops of Vienne consolidated their position in the town, profiting especially in the late 10th/early 11th century from the weak government of Rudolf III King of Burgundy who eventually granted the county to the archbishopric in 1023[42]: “Rodulphus...rex”, with the support of “conjuge mea Irmingarda regina”, granted “Viennensem comitatum...cum castello quod supereminet ipsi civitati” to “sancto Mauricio ecclesiæ Viennensis patrono et episcopis eidem ecclesiæ prætitulatis” by charter dated 14 Sep 1023[43]. Mermet highlights the rivalry which, as a result of the wording of this donation, developed between the chapter of Saint-Maurice and the archbishops, which resulted in jurisdiction over different parts of the town being divided and each grouping minting its own money[44]. This period coincided with the fragmentation of the kingdom of Burgundy itself and the rise of different noble families in different geographical areas, notably the comtes de Bourgogne and the comtes de Forez, as discussed elsewhere in the present document. These rivalries and fragmentations provided fertile ground for challenge to the preeminence of the ecclesiasts in Vienne, notably by the Bourgogne-Comté/Mâcon family.

Mermet says that Guillaume [I] “le Grand” Comte de Bourgogne (who died in 1087, see Chapter 1 in the present document), whom he calls “comte de Vienne, de Bourgogne et de Mâcon, sire de Salins”, “régnait presqu’en maître absolu dans notre cité”[45]. He cites no sources on which he bases this statement, and no other indication has been found relating either to Guillaume [I]’s influence in Vienne or to his having used the title “comte de Vienne”. Valbonnais, in his history of the Dauphiné, makes no mention of Guillaume [I] in Vienne and no primary source has yet been identified which links him to the town[46]. It seems more likely that the Bourgogne-Comté family’s influence in Vienne followed the selection in 1088 of Guy de Bourgogne (son of Guillaume [I], and future Pope Calixtus II) to fill the vacancy in the archiepiscopal see. A later link between the family and Vienne is confirmed by the charter dated 6 Jan 1146 under which Konrad III King of Germany confirmed the rights of the archbishop and chapter over Vienne, specifying that he removed (“alienamus”) “Willelmum Matisconensem comitem” (Guillaume [III] Comte de Mâcon, grandson of Guillaume [I]) from “predicta urbe”[47]. No other source has been found which confirms the precise role which Guillaume [III] played in Vienne, the date when he assumed this role, or how he may have shared the town’s administration with the archbishop. Guillaume [III]’s descendants continued to use the title “Comte de Vienne” as can be seen in the following section. However, Valbonnais highlights that Friedrich I King of Germany renewed the 1146 confirmation by charter dated 1153[48], and also records that both Emperors Henrich VI and Friedrich II later repeated the same confirmation[49]. This suggests that the Mâcon family’s influence in Vienne may have been no more than symbolic after the mid-12th century. The situation in Vienne is further complicated by the charter dated 1155 under which Berthold Herzog von Zähringen (imperial administrator of the kingdom of Burgundy) granted rights in Vienne, which Emperor Lothar II had granted to his predecessor Duke Konrad, to “Guigoni Dalphino Albonis comiti” [Guigues [VII] Comte d’Albon, Dauphin, see below Part C][50].

The precise basis on which the Mâcon/Bourgogne-Comté family acquired rights in Vienne, whether by inheritance or purchase, has not been ascertained. Valbonnais says that Guillaume [III]’s position in Vienne was based on "d’anciennes prétentions" without specifying the nature of those claims[51]. Mermet says that “on pourrait hasarder la conjecture” that the comtes de Mâcon descended from one of the sons of Ermengarde, second wife of Rudolf III King of Burgundy, by her first marriage[52]. This is highly speculative, and Mermet fails to explain how the king’s stepsons could have had any legitimate claim to the county, especially as the king had clearly donated it elsewhere in a document which explicitly expresses the support of Queen Ermengarde as shown in the extract quoted above. Some secondary sources suggest that Etiennette, wife of Guillaume [I], was “Etiennette de Vienne”[53]. However, no documentary evidence has been found which indicates a connection between her descendants and Vienne before her grandson Guillaume [III], which suggests that any rights to the county were acquired by the family well after Etiennette died. Szabolcs de Vajay attributes the error connecting Etiennette with Vienne to her epitaph, which names “Allobrogum comitissa...Stephania”[54], noting that, while the Allobroges had been a Gallic tribe living around Vienne, this archaic term was used elsewhere simply to describe the county of Burgundy[55]. An outline of the comtes de Vienne from the Mâcon family is shown below, with extracts from charters relating to Vienne in which they are named. Full details of these individuals, their marriages and other members of their families are set out in the Mâcon chapter of the document BURGUNDY DUCHY NOBILITY.

GERARD [I] de Bourgogne, son of GUILLAUME [III] Comte de Mâcon [Bourgogne-Comté] & his wife Ponce dame de Traves (-15 Sep 1184). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "comites Stephanum de Ultrasagonam et Gerardum Viennensem" as sons of "comes Renaldus [de Burgundia] fratrem comitem Guilelmum" & his wife[56]. He succeeded in 1147 as Comte de Mâcon . He is also recorded as Comte de Vienne, although as noted above his influence (and that of his descendants) in Vienne may have been no more than symbolic. Louis VII King of France issued judgment against “comitem Gerardum Viennensem” in a dispute with the church of Mâcon by charter dated 1166[57]. Philippe II King of France issued judgment against “Girardum comitem Viennensem” in a dispute relating to Pierre-Pertuis near Vezelay by charter dated 1180[58]. The necrology of Besançon Saint-Etienne records the death “XVI Kal Oct” of “Gerardus Viennensis comes”[59].

Comte Géraud [I] & his wife had eight children:

1. other children: see BURGUNDY DUCHY NOBILITY.

2. GUILLAUME [IV] de Vienne (-1224, bur [church of Tournus, Galilee]). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "comitem Guilelmum Matisconensem sive Viennensem et Galterum de Salins et quemdam Gerardum et Stephanum Bisuntinensem electum" as children of "[comes] Gerardum Viennensem" & his wife[60]. He succeeded his father in 1184 as Comte de Mâcon, [titular] Comte de Vienne. "Willermus, Wiennensis et Matisconensis comes" confirmed an agreement between "Girardum comitem Matisconensem…patris mei" and Cluny by charter dated Jan 1217[61]. “W. comes Viennensis et Matisconensis” restored property “apud Villamnovam...Silviniacus” to Tournus by charter dated Apr 1222[62]. The memorial of Abbé Bérard records the death in 1224 of “Guillelmus comes Viennæ et Matisconis” and his burial “in Galilæâ ecclesiæ Trenorchiensis”[63]. Assuming that this entry indicates Guillaume’s burial at Galilee in a church affiliated with Tournus, he presumably died while on pilgrimage. Comte Guillaume [IV] & his second wife had four children:

a) GERAUD [II] de Vienne (-[1224/25]). “Scolastica Viennensis et Matisconensis” donated property to “abbatia Miratorii” where she chose to be buried, with the consent of “mariti mei Guillelmi et filiorum meorum Girardi et Henrici”, by charter dated 23 Dec 1208[64]. “G. W. comitis Viennæ et Matisconis primogenitus” settled a dispute between his father and Tournus, referring to “mater mea et uxor mea” (both unnamed), by charter dated 1211[65]. "Geraldus filius comitis Guillelmi" confirmed the agreement of "avi mei bone memorie comitis Gerardi" and “patris mei comitis Guillelmi” and Cluny by charter dated Jan 1217[66]. Seigneur de Vienne, during his father’s lifetime: “Girardus primogenitus comitis Matisconensis et dominus Viennæ” noted the settlement of a dispute between Tournus and Cluny by charter dated 1220[67]. He succeeded his father in 1224 as Comte de Mâcon, [[titular] Comte de Vienne]. should be noted that he is called “dominus” not “comes” of Vienne in the following charter of his daughter and son-in-law: “Johannes comes Matisconensis et nobilis domina A. uxor mea filia bonæ memoriæ domini Girardi de Viennæ” made donations to Tournus, including rights in the wood “Mortuum vocatur”, by charter dated 11 Nov 1233[68]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines points to his death in [1224/25] when naming "Henrico Viennensi frater Gerardi iam defuncti" in 1225[69]. Comte Géraud [II] & his wife had one child:

i) ALIX de Vienne ([1205/15]-25 Jul or 23 Aug [1258/61]). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to, but does not name, the only daughter of "Gerardus Viennensis comitis filius" & his wife, and names her husband "unus fratrum Philippe comitisse Barrensis Iohannes", specifying that he thereby became "comes Masticonensis"[70]. Her birth date range shown above is speculative based on the date range of her marriage. She succeeded her father in [1224] as Ctss de Mâcon, [titular] Ctss de Vienne. A seal confirms that she and her husband held both the counties of Mâcon and Vienne, reading “Johannis de Brana cois Vienne et de Mascon”[71]. The latest date of her marriage is established by a charter dated Aug 1226 under which her husband donated property to Guy Chevrier[72]. The following charter indicates that the county of Vienne was transferred to Alix’s paternal uncle Henri before Sep 1227: “Henricus comes Viennensis” noted the fief held by “domino Petro de Hormont” from “consanguineo et domino meo Theobaldo comite Campaniæ...apud Barrum super Albam” by charter dated Sep 1227[73]. Gallia Christiana records that Alix became Abbess of Notre-Dame du Lys, near Melun in 1246, and her death 23 Aug [1258/61] (no primary source cited)[74]. m ([1218/Aug 1226]) JEAN de Dreux, son of ROBERT [II] "le Jeune" Comte de Dreux & his second wife Yolande de Coucy (1198- Tripoli [Jan/Apr 1240], but Tripoli Hospitallers). Comte de Mâcon, [titular] Comte de Vienne, by right of his wife. As noted above, the county of Vienne was transferred to his wife’s paternal uncle Henri soon afterwards.

b) GUILLAUME de Vienne (-1255). Canon at Mâcon. Doyen of St Etienne de Besançon. [Titular] Comte de Vienne, in succession to his brother Henri. He was excommunicated by Pope Gregory IX 22 Mar 1233 for his misdemeanours. "Wilelmus Viennensis quondam filius Wilelmi Matisconensis et Viennensis comitis" donated property to the church of Besançon Saint-Etienne, for the souls of "fratrum suorum Gerardi et Henrici piæ recordationis", by charter dated 1235[75]. He left the church to marry[76]. “W. cuens de Vienne” guaranteed payment by “monseigneur Perron de Bormont” to “monseigneur le Roy de Navarre”, just as “ses peres...estoit homme, mon frere Henri Comte de Vienne”, by charter dated Mar 1247[77]. The following charter indicates that Guillaume ceased to be Comte de Vienne before 1250: "Hugo comes de Vienna dominus Pagneii" donated property to the abbey of Mont-Sainte-Marie, for the souls of "patris mei Wilelmi [error for Hugonis] comitis Viennensis et matris meæ Beatricis", by charter dated 1250 which names "Wilelmum comitem Viennensem avunculum meum"[78]. The necrology of Mâcon records the death of “Guillelmo comite Viennensi, tunc decano Bisuntinensi”[79].

c) HENRI de Vienne (-killed Geneva 19 May 1233). “Scolastica Viennensis et Matisconensis” donated property to “abbatia Miratorii” where she chose to be buried, with the consent of “mariti mei Guillelmi et filiorum meorum Girardi et Henrici”, by charter dated 23 Dec 1208[80]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Henrico Viennensi frater Gerardi iam defuncti" when recording that he and "Iohanne Cabilonensi filio comitis Stephani" captured "comitis Barrensis" in 1225 "ante natale Domini"[81]. Seigneur de Montmorot et de Vadans. [Titular] Comte de Vienne: “Henricus comes Viennensis” noted the fief held by “domino Petro de Hormont” from “consanguineo et domino meo Theobaldo comite Campaniæ...apud Barrum super Albam” by charter dated Sep 1227[82]. The memorial of Abbé Bérard records the death “apud Gehenuam...XIV Kal Jun” 1233 of “Henricus comes Viennæ”[83]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records that "Henricus de Vienna" was killed "in Burgundia" in 1233[84].

d) BEATRIX de Vienne (-after Mar 1235). “A. comitissa Matisconensis...et J. comes Matisconensis dominus et maritus noster” relinquished their rights to revenue from Champagne in favour of “domino Hugone de Antigneio” who renounced rights “in parte uxoris suæ materteræ nostræ in comitatu Matisconensis” by charter dated Oct 1235[85]. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 1250 under which [her son] "Hugo comes de Vienna dominus Pagneii" donated property to the abbey of Mont-Sainte-Marie, for the souls of "patris mei Wilelmi comitis Viennensis et matris meæ Beatricis", naming "Wilelmum comitem Viennensem avunculum meum"[86]. m (before Feb 1219) HUGUES Seigneur d'Antigny, son of --- (-after Mar 1235). Hugues & his wife had children:

i) HUGUES de Vienne (-after Jul 1269). Seigneur de Pagny. [Titular] Comte de Vienne: "Hugo comes de Vienna dominus Pagneii" donated property to the abbey of Mont-Sainte-Marie, for the souls of "patris mei Wilelmi [error for Hugonis] comitis Viennensis et matris meæ Beatricis", by charter dated 1250 which names "Wilelmum comitem Viennensem avunculum meum"[87]. Chorier’s Histoire de Dauphiné records that “Jean de Burnins” Archbishop of Vienne bought all rights in Vienne from Hugues de Vienne Seigneur de Pagny “au prix de sept mille livres”[88]. Pelot dates this purchase to 1263[89]. “Hugues cuens de Vienne sires de Paigny et Henri sires de Sainte Croix freres” made various commitments to Hugues IV Duke of Burgundy by charter dated end-Jul 1269[90]. His descendants adopted the name “de Vienne” but are not recorded as holding the county of Vienne.

- SEIGNEURS d’ANTIGNY et de PAGNY.

B. VICOMTES de VIENNE

1. ANGILBOTON (-after Apr 870). Auguste Bernard suggests that Angilboton, who is named in a charter of Gérard Comte de Vienne dated Apr 870, was the first vicomte de Vienne[91]. [Vicomte de Vienne.]

2. HERLUIN [Erlulf?] (-after [876]). “Ardoini eiusdem ecclesie [Viennam]…archiepiscopi et Erluini [Erlulf?] vicecomitis, missi…Bosonis comitis” are named as present in a charter dated to [876] relating to the church of Vienne[92]. Vicomte [de Vienne].

3. BERLION [I] (-[912]). Vicomte [de Vienne]. King Louis “l’Aveugle” granted “villas Pontianam et Cabannacum…iur hereditario” to “Berlio viccomes” by charter dated 17 Apr 902[93]. [m firstly GERBERGE, daughter of HECTOR & his wife ---. Her marriage and parentage are apparently confirmed by the charter dated 22 Sep 976 under which “Ratburnus” donated property “in pago Lugdunense in agro Candiacense, in…villa Candiaco”, for the souls of “avi mei Hectori et genetricis mee Girbergie et fratrum meum Hectorum episcopum”, to Cluny[94]. However, this document does not name Gerberge’s husband. No other document has yet been identified which confirms the name of Berlion [I]’s supposed first wife. As noted below, the date of the 976 charter indicates that Berlion’s son Ratburn [I] must have lived to an extremely old age. Although this is not impossible, it suggests that another possible explanation should be sought for the relationships which are described in the document. It would not be impossible that the 976 charter refers to Ratburn [II], son of Ratburn [I], born from an otherwise unrecorded marriage of his father with Gerberge, daughter of Hector. No other document has yet been found which indicates the time period during which Hector lived, which could provide some corroboration for the hypothesis. Although this first marriage remains unconfirmed beyond all doubt, it does appear likely that Berlion’s supposed son Ratburn [I] was older than his known brothers Sobon and Engelbert and may therefore have been born from an earlier marriage.] m [secondly] ERMENGARDE, daughter of ---. Her marriage is confirmed by the charter dated Jul [940/41] under which her son “Engelbertus” donated property “in villa Flaviaco…Tadernaco…”, for the souls of “fratris mei Sobbonis archiepiscopi et genitorum nostrorum Berlionis et Ermengardis et…filii mei Teutboldi”, to Cluny[95]. Gingins-la-Sarra suggests that she was Ermengarde, illegitimate daughter of Lothaire II King of Lotharingia & his mistress Waldrada ---, suggesting that she came to Provence with her sister Berta who married Thibaut Comte d’Arles[96]. He says that the charter dated 25 Dec 923, under which “Ludwicus…imperator augustus” confirmed property “in comitatu Viennensi seu et in Lugdunensi in villa…Tadernaco” to “Ingelbertus…et uxori eius Nonie” (Engelbert being this couple’s son)[97], refers to Engelbert as “propinquus” of the emperor. He says that the term was never used in charters which name Berlion [I] and therefore deduces that the relationship must have been through Engelbert’s mother. However, the text of the charter in question does not appear to apply the word “propinquus” specifically to Engelbert. It is used in the phrase “propinquorum et fidelium suorum”, as part of the introductory words in the charter, while Engelbert is referred to as “fidelis noster”. There appears to be no other basis for this speculation. If the hypothesis were correct, it would be difficult to explain why Ermengarde would have left Provence (presumably after the death of her supposed husband, dated to [912]) and established herself as a nun at Lucca (where she is recorded in an epitaph[98]), while her sons remained in Provence. Berlion [I] & his [first] wife had [two children]:

a) [RATBURN [I] (-[after 22 Sep 976]). “Ribelt” donated property “in pago Viennense”, among which property bordered by “terra Ratburno vicecomis et Ingelberto”, to Cluny by charter dated May 935[99]. His parentage appears confirmed by the charter which apparently relates to his supposed son Ratburn [II] (see below). Vicomte de Vienne. "Ratburnus vicecomis et uxor sua Vualda" donated property "in pago Viennense in villa…Landadis" to Cluny by charter dated 1 Oct 942[100]. “Ratburnus” donated property “in pago Lugdunense in agro Candiacense, in…villa Candiaco”, for the souls of “avi mei Hectori et genetricis mee Girbergie et fratrum meum Hectorum episcopum”, to Cluny by charter dated 22 Sep 976, subscribed by “Vuille uxoris sue, Ademari, Rostagni, Fredeberti, Duranni, Berlonis, filii Ratburni…”[101]. The date of this charter suggests that Ratburn [I] would have been very old at this time, assuming that the charter indeed refers to the son of Berlion [I]. The reference to his wife “Vuille” does suggest that she was the same person who is recorded in 942 as Ratburn’s wife “Vualda”. However, the age question remains an issue, which suggests that another explanation should be sought for the relationships described in the document. One possibility is that the 976 charter refers to Ratburn [I]’s son, Ratburn [II], assuming that the latter was the child of another otherwise unrecorded marriage (maybe a first marriage, if the dates relating to Ratburn’s brother Hector Bishop of Le Puy are correct) of his father with Gerberge, daughter of Hector.] m VUALDA, daughter of --- (-after 22 Sep 976). "Ratburnus vicecomis et uxor sua Vualda" donated property "in pago Viennense in villa…Landadis" to Cluny by charter dated 1 Oct 942[102]. “Ratburnus” donated property to Cluny by charter dated 22 Sep 976, subscribed by “Vuille uxoris sue, Ademari, Rostagni, Fredeberti, Duranni, Berlonis, filii Ratburni…”[103]. As stated above, the references in these two documents to “Vuille” and “Vualda” suggest that they indicate the same person. However, the date of the later charter would mean that Ratburn [I] lived to an extremely old age, which suggests that another explanation may be appropriate for the relationships which the document describes. Ratburn [I] & his wife had [six] children:

i) RATBURN [II] . His parentage is confirmed by an undated charter, dated to the reign of Conrad I King of Burgundy, under which Ratburn donated property “in villa Areto…quam dominus Sobo archiepiscopus et avunculus meus” to the church of Vienne, subscribed by “Berillonis” (which may refer to Ratburn [II]’s brother Berlion [II][104]. As noted above, it is not impossible that the charter dated 22 Sep 976, under which “Ratburnus” donated property to Cluny subscribed by “Vuille uxoris sue, Ademari, Rostagni, Fredeberti, Duranni, Berlonis, filii Ratburni…”[105], also refers to Ratburn [II]. If this is correct, he would have been born from another otherwise unrecorded marriage of his father with Gerberge, daughter of Hector.

ii) [ADEMAR (-after 22 Sep 976). “Ratburnus” donated property to Cluny by charter dated 22 Sep 976, subscribed by “Vuille uxoris sue, Ademari, Rostagni, Fredeberti, Duranni, Berlonis, filii Ratburni…”[106]. The Latin would indicate that only Berlion was the son of the donor. However, it is not impossible that the language is inaccurate, otherwise the reason for Ratburn’s son appearing fifth in the list is unclear.]

iii) [ROSTAIN (-after 22 Sep 976). “Ratburnus” donated property to Cluny by charter dated 22 Sep 976, subscribed by “Vuille uxoris sue, Ademari, Rostagni, Fredeberti, Duranni, Berlonis, filii Ratburni…”[107]. The Latin would indicate that only Berlion was the son of the donor. However, it is not impossible that the language is inaccurate, otherwise the reason for Ratburn’s son appearing fifth in the list is unclear.]

iv) [FREDEBERT (-after 22 Sep 976). “Ratburnus” donated property to Cluny by charter dated 22 Sep 976, subscribed by “Vuille uxoris sue, Ademari, Rostagni, Fredeberti, Duranni, Berlonis, filii Ratburni…”[108]. The Latin would indicate that only Berlion was the son of the donor. However, it is not impossible that the language is inaccurate, otherwise the reason for Ratburn’s son appearing fifth in the list is unclear.]

v) [DURAN (-after 22 Sep 976). “Ratburnus” donated property to Cluny by charter dated 22 Sep 976, subscribed by “Vuille uxoris sue, Ademari, Rostagni, Fredeberti, Duranni, Berlonis, filii Ratburni…”[109]. The Latin would indicate that only Berlion was the son of the donor. However, it is not impossible that the language is inaccurate, otherwise the reason for Ratburn’s son appearing fifth in the list is unclear.]

vi) BERLION [II] (-after 22 Sep 976). “Ratburnus” donated property to Cluny by charter dated 22 Sep 976, subscribed by “Vuille uxoris sue, Ademari, Rostagni, Fredeberti, Duranni, Berlonis, filii Ratburni…”[110].

b) [HECTOR (-927). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 22 Sep 976 under which “Ratburnus” donated property “in pago Lugdunense in agro Candiacense, in…villa Candiaco”, for the souls of “avi mei Hectori et genetricis mee Girbergie et fratrum meum Hectorum episcopum”, to Cluny[111]. As noted above, it is not impossible that “Ratburnus” in this charter was Ratburn [II] rather than Ratburn [I] which, if correct, would mean that Hector was the son of the former from an otherwise unrecorded marriage to Gerberge, daughter of Hector. If the dates recorded here in relation to Bishop Hector are correct (they have not yet been verified against primary sources), this would presumably have been a first marriage of his father. Bishop of Le Puy 924.]

Berlion [I] & his [second] wife had two children:

c) SOBON (-952). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated Jul [940/41] under which “Engelbertus” donated property “in villa Flaviaco…Tadernaco…”, for the souls of “fratris mei Sobbonis archiepiscopi et genitorum nostrorum Berlionis et Ermengardis et…filii mei Teutboldi”, to Cluny[112]. Archbishop of Vienne 931.

d) ENGELBERT (-after 1 Mar 942). King Louis “l’Aveugle” granted property “in villa Salpatia, in pago Viennensi” to “Ingelbert fidelis suus” by charter dated 920[113]. King Louis “l’Aveugle” granted property “in comitatu Viennensi seu et in Lugdunensi…villa…Taderniaco” to “Ingelbert fidelis suus et uxoris suæ Nonianæ” by charter dated 25 Dec 923[114]. “Ribelt” donated property “in pago Viennense”, among which property bordered by “terra Ratburno vicecomis et Ingelberto”, to Cluny by charter dated May 935[115]. “Engelbertus” donated property “in villa Flaviaco…Tadernaco…”, for the souls of “fratris mei Sobbonis archiepiscopi et genitorum nostrorum Berlionis et Ermengardis et…filii mei Teutboldi…coque Emmelt et Noviane”, to Cluny by charter dated Jul [940/41], subscribed by “…Ratburni…”[116]. m firstly EMMELT, daughter of ---. “Engelbertus” donated property “in villa Flaviaco…Tadernaco…”, for the souls of “…coque Emmelt et Noviane”, to Cluny by charter dated Jul [940/41][117]. m secondly (before 25 Dec 923) NONIA, daughter of ---. “Ludwicus…imperator augustus” confirmed property “in comitatu Viennensi seu et in Lugdunensi in villa…Tadernaco” to “Ingelbertus…et uxori eius Nonie” by charter dated 25 Dec 923[118]. “Engelbertus” donated property “in villa Flaviaco…Tadernaco…”, for the souls of “…coque Emmelt et Noviane”, to Cluny by charter dated Jul [940/41][119]. m thirdly TEUTBERGE, daughter of ---. The cartulary of the church of Vienne includes a charter dated 1 Mar 942 under which “Engelbert, Theutberge et Théobald fils du premier” donated property[120]. Gingins-la-Sarra points out that Teutberge was the name of the wife of Charles Constantin Comte de Vienne, and that Teutberge widow of Engelbert could have married him as her second husband[121]. There seems to be no basis for this speculation other than the name. Engelbert & his [first/second] wife had one child:

i) TEUTBOLD (-after 1 Mar 942). “Engelbertus” donated property “in villa Flaviaco…Tadernaco…”, for the souls of “…filii mei Teutboldi…”, to Cluny by charter dated Jul [940/41], subscribed by “…Ratburni…”[122].

GERAUD de Tour, son of BERNARD Comte [en Auvergne] & his wife Berthelde --- (-after Apr 960).

C. COMTES d'ALBON

The county of Albon emerged in the sources from the mid-11th century, although its precise geographical location has not yet been identified. The comtes d’Albon acquired authority over territory around Vienne but never acquired the county of Vienne. The first member of the family recorded with the comital title was Guigues [III] "Vetus". The earliest document so far identified which links the title of this family to the territory of Albon is the testament of Ramon Berenguer I Comte de Barcelona, dated 12 Nov 1076, which provides for the reversion of his counties to "filium Guigonis de Albion quem habuit de filia sua Agnes" in case of extinction of his descendants in the male line[136]. No record has been found of the precise date when Guigues [III] was appointed count, or who appointed him, although it is likely that he was invested either by Emperor Konrad I (Konrad II King of Germany, who had inherited the kingdom of Burgundy from the last independent king Rudolf III in 1032) or his son Emperor Heinrich II (Heinrich III King of Germany). No record of Guigues [III] has been found in the surviving charters of either emperor which are included in the MGH compilation of imperial diplomas. Another perspective is provided by an undated charter in the second cartulary of "saint Hugues" whose preamble states that during the time of "Isarni episcopi [10th century]" no counts ruled in "episcopatum Gratianopolitanum" and that when Mallen was bishop (supposed cousin of Comte Guigues [III] "Vétus", see below) "Guigo vetus, pater Guigonis crassi" usurped the title count and seized lands from the bishopric[137]. Fauché-Prunelle asserts that this preamble was inserted subsequently into the document and is not authentic[138]. Nevertheless, the absence of earlier documentation which attributes the title count to members of the family is striking. Whatever the truth of the matter, the county was an imperial fief by the mid-11th century, as demonstrated by the patronage shown to the later counts by Emperor Friedrich I "Barbarossa", who arranged important dynastic marriages for them.

The head of this family was first recorded with the name “dauphin” from the early 13th century. The origin of this title has been the subject of much debate. The name is first found in surviving primary sources attributed to Guigues [VI], as shown by the charter dated to [after 1225] which records that "Guigo delphinus et uxor eius…" confirmed an earlier donation by his father to the abbey of Bonnevaux[139]. Chorier’s Histoire de Dauphiné summarises various outlandish legendary origins which emerged, but concludes that the dolphin was first used as a heraldic symbol by Guigues [VI] and that the title adopted by his descendants simply reflected this use[140]. Prudhomme states that this conclusion cannot be correct as the emblem is first recorded on the arms of the family in 1237[141]. He concludes that "delphinus" was a nickname ("surnom"), first borne by St Delphinus at the end of the 4th century and by a 7th century bishop of Lyon, and was used personally by Guigues [VI]. It was later used as a type of patronymic by André de Bourgogne [Capet] (see Part D), son of Beatrix heiress of Viennois and granddaughter of Guigues [VI], to highlight his maternal descent[142]. By the end of the 13th century, the name had evolved into a title, and the first reference to the "delphinatum" of Vienne and Albon dates to 1285[143].

A continuous line of descent of the family of the comtes d’Albon can be traced from the late 10th century until their extinction in the male line, probably soon after 1168. It is possible that the family was descended from the comte de Vienne named Guigues who is recorded between 890 and 913 (see Part A.). The reconstruction of this family is rendered difficult by the unbroken succession, from father to son, of individuals named Guigues. In addition, the dates of death of the heads of the family are, for the most part, unknown. The secondary sources which have been consulted during the preparation of the present document provide inconsistent interpretations of the primary source data and none presents a satisfactory final result. The reconstruction which is presented below appears consistent with all the information contained in the primary sources which have been identified and contains no loose ends. Nevertheless the conclusions are tentative and other interpretations are possible.

1. [GUIGUES (-after [940]). Comte. "Guy comte d’Albon" donated property to "l’église de Romette en Gapençais" by charter dated 940[144]. The text of this charter has not been seen but the reference to "Albon" suggests either that it is misdated or that it is spurious as geographical qualifications were rarely linked to titles in primary source documentation at that time.]

GUIGUES [I], son of --- (-[7 Sep/18 Oct] 996). "Barnuinus et uxor mea…Teutberge" donated property "in villa Vitrosco" to Saint-André de Bas, Vienne, for the souls of "senioris nostri domini Vigoni domneque Fredeburge", by charter dated "regnante domno Rodulfo rege" (dated to [1012/23] in the compilation, but presumably better dated to [993/96])[145]. "Wigo et uxor mea Fredeburga" donated property "in comitatu Viennensi in agro Cassiacensi in villa…Vernio" by charter dated Sep [996], subscribed by "Umberti episcopi, Richardi, Vagoni, Bosoni, Adraldi"[146].

m [as her first husband,] FREDEBURGE, sister of GEOFFROY, daughter of --- (-after 1012). "Barnuinus et uxor mea…Teutberge" donated property "in villa Vitrosco" to Saint-André de Bas, Vienne, for the souls of "senioris nostri domini Vigoni domneque Fredeburge", by charter dated "regnante domno Rodulfo rege" (dated to [1012/23] in the compilation, but presumably better dated to [993/96])[147]. "Fredeburgis matris eius…" subscribed the charter dated [Sep/Oct] 996 under which "Humbertus episcopus Gratianopolitanensis" donated property to Cluny[148]. "Wigo et uxor mea Fredeburga" donated property "in comitatu Viennensi in agro Cassiacensi in villa…Vernio" by charter dated Sep [996], subscribed by "Umberti episcopi, Richardi, Vagoni, Bosoni, Adraldi"[149]. "Rodolfus rex" jointly with "Agiltrude regina coniuge nostra nec non archiepiscopo Burchardo fratre nostro et comitibus Rodulpho et Uberto" gave the castle of Moras to "Umberto episcopo eiusque matri domine Freburgie et nepotibus eius, Wigonis bone memorie filiis, Umberto Wigoni Willelmo" by charter dated 6 Jun 1009[150]. "Fredeburgæ matris eius…" signed the charter dated 1012 under which "Umbertus Grationopolensis ecclesiæ præsul" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Chaffre[151]. She was the sister of Geoffroy and sister-in-law of Théobald de Nyon[152]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[153], Fredeburge married secondly "Arnoul de Theys", although the primary source which confirms his family name has not yet been identified. This supposed second marriage is far from certain. It is allegedly confirmed by an undated charter which records that "Arnulfus et uxor mea Frideburga necnon et filius noster Rodulphus" donated property "unum mansum in episcopatu Gratianopolitano in Valle Navis…les Aberges" to Cluny, witnessed by "Vuigonis comitis"[154]. The key to identifying the donor Fredeburge lies in the dating of this charter. As noted elsewhere in the present document, the first member of the family of the comtes d’Albon who is recorded with the comital title was Guigues [III] "Vetus". It is not known when he was awarded the title, but he is not recorded with it in other sources before the mid-10th century. If the witness "Vuigonis comitis" was Guigues [III], which is likely, the donor Fredeburga would have been extremely old if she had been his paternal grandmother. Two other factors point to this supposed second marriage being incorrect. Firstly, it is extremely unlikely that Guigues [III]’s maternal grandmother could have given birth to a son by a second marriage, given the birth date estimated for her son by her [first] husband. Secondly, the charter dated 1012 makes no mention of Fredeburge’s second husband, although it is likely that it predated the undated charter. A more likely explanation is that Fredeburge, who married Arnoul, was an otherwise unrecorded daughter of the older Fredeburge by her marriage to Guigues [I], and that the witness to the charter was her nephew. Chorier’s Histoire de Dauphiné accepts that Arnoul was the husband of Guigues [I]’s widow, identifying him as Arnoul, son of Rudolf ("Arnoul, fils du comte Rodolphe"), adding that the latter patronised Fredeburge’s children by her first marriage[155]. He cites no primary source on which he bases his statement.

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

1. HUMBERT ([960/70]-[after 1030]). "Humbertus episcopus Gratianopolitanensis" donated property "medietatem castri de Visilia" to Cluny by charter dated [Sep/Oct] 996, subscribed by "Fredeburgis matris eius, Wiguonis fratris eius, Humberti episcopi de Valentia nepotis eius"[156]. His birth date range is estimated on the assumption that he was adult when appointed to his bishopric. Bishop of Grenoble 990 or before. "Wigo et uxor mea Fredeburga" donated property "in comitatu Viennensi in agro Cassiacensi in villa…Vernio" by charter dated Sep [996], subscribed by "Umberti episcopi, Richardi, Vagoni, Bosoni, Adraldi"[157]. "Umbertus Grationopolensis ecclesiæ præsul" donated property "locum de Sancto Bartholomeo cum ecclesia de Madernatis" to the abbey of Saint-Chaffre with the consent of "Radulfo rege et regina Ermengarda, et domino archiepiscopo Brocardo, matre quoque mea Fredeburge, atque Maileno nepote meo, simulque aliis nepotibus meis Umberto atque Wigone" by charter dated 1012, signed by "Fredeburgæ matris eius, Wigonis et Umberti filiorum fratris eius, Malleni nepotis eius"[158]. Prudhomme states that Bishop Humbert was still living in 1030 but had abandoned the administration of his diocesis to his nephew Mallen[159]. He cites no primary source to support his statement.

2. [RICHARD (-after Sep [996]). "Wigo et uxor mea Fredeburga" donated property "in comitatu Viennensi in agro Cassiacensi in villa…Vernio" by charter dated Sep [996], subscribed by "Umberti episcopi, Richardi, Vagoni, Bosoni, Adraldi"[160]. Richard is shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[161] as the son of Guigues [I] and his wife Fredeburge. Presumably this is based only on this charter witnessed by "Richard". The document includes no information on the relationship, if any, between the donors and the witnesses, although other sources show that the first witness Bishop Humbert was the couple’s son. This appears to be slim evidence for asserting that Richard was also their son.]

3. GUIGUES [II] (-[1009]). "…Wiguonis fratris eius…" subscribed the charter dated [Sep/Oct] 996 under which "Humbertus episcopus Gratianopolitanensis" donated property to Cluny[162]. m [GOTELENE, daughter of ---. It is possible that the wife of Guigues [II] was Gotelene if the charter under which "Wigo comes filius Gotelenne" donated "ecclesiam de Visilia" to Cluny refers to Guigues [III] "Vetus"[163]. Europäische Stammtafeln names her "Gotelana de Clérieux", but assigns her as the wife of Guigues [III] "Vetus/Vieux"[164]. No doubt this hypothesis is based on a different interpretation of the same charter. The basis for Europäische Stammtafeln suggesting that Gotelana was "de Clérieux" has not yet been found.] Guigues [II] & his wife had three children:

a) HUMBERT ([995/1000]-[1037]). "…Humberti episcopi de Valentia nepotis eius" subscribed the charter dated [Sep/Oct] 996 under which "Humbertus episcopus Gratianopolitanensis" donated property to Cluny[165]. His birth date is estimated consistent with the birth date range estimated for his uncle Humbert, although as noted above there is some doubt whether the latter range is correct. Bishop of Valence . "Rodolfus rex" jointly with "Agiltrude regina coniuge nostra nec non archiepiscopo Burchardo fratre nostro et comitibus Rodulpho et Uberto" gave the castle of Moras to "Umberto episcopo eiusque matri domine Freburgie et nepotibus eius, Wigonis bone memorie filiis, Umberto Wigoni Willelmo" by charter dated 6 Jun 1009[166]. "…Wigonis et Umberti filiorum fratris eius…" signed the charter dated 1012 under which "Umbertus Grationopolensis ecclesiæ præsul" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Chaffre[167].

b) GUIGUES [III] "Vetus/Vieux" ([995/1000]-Cluny 22 Apr [1074/75]). "Rodolfus rex" jointly with "Agiltrude regina coniuge nostra nec non archiepiscopo Burchardo fratre nostro et comitibus Rodulpho et Uberto" gave the castle of Moras to "Umberto episcopo eiusque matri domine Freburgie et nepotibus eius, Wigonis bone memorie filiis, Umberto Wigoni Willelmo" by charter dated 6 Jun 1009[168]. His birth date range, estimated consistent with the birth date ranges estimated for the other members of this family, means that Guigues was probably still a child at the date of this charter. Comte d’Albon.

c) GUILLAUME (-7 Nov [1012]). "Rodolfus rex" jointly with "Agiltrude regina coniuge nostra nec non archiepiscopo Burchardo fratre nostro et comitibus Rodulpho et Uberto" gave the castle of Moras to "Umberto episcopo eiusque matri domine Freburgie et nepotibus eius, Wigonis bone memorie filiis, Umberto Wigoni Willelmo" by charter dated 6 Jun 1009[169]. The necrology of the priory of Saint-Robert records the death "VII Id Nov" of "Guillelmus filius Guigonis comitis"[170].

4. [daughter . m ---.] One child:

a) MALLEN (-[1036]). "…Malleni nepotis eius" signed the charter dated 1012 under which "Umbertus Grationopolensis ecclesiæ præsul" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Chaffre[171]. His parentage is not known. However, the 1012 charter is also signed by "…Wigonis et Umberti filiorum fratris eius…", suggesting that Mallenus must have been "nepos" by the donor's sister. Bishop of Grenoble . "Malleni episcopi Gratianopolitani et Wigonis comitis et uxoris eius Adelsendis, filiorumque suorum Umberti et Wigonis" signed a charter dated 26 Aug 1035 relating to the donation of four churches in Vico to the abbey of Saint-Chaffre[172].

5. [FREDEBURGE . An undated charter records that "Arnulfus et uxor mea Frideburga necnon et filius noster Rodulphus" donated property "unum mansum in episcopate Gratianopolitano in Valle Navis…les Aberges" to Cluny, witnessed by "Vuigonis comitis"[173]. Chorier’s Histoire de Dauphiné identifies the donors as Fredeburge, widow of Guigues [I] (see above), and her supposed second husband[174]. As noted above, the key to identifying the donor Fredeburge lies in the dating of this charter. The first member of the family of the comtes d’Albon who is recorded with the comital title was Guigues [III] "Vetus". It is not known when he was awarded the title, but he is not recorded with it in other sources before the mid-10th century. If the witness "Vuigonis comitis" was Guigues [III], which is likely, the donor Fredeburge would have been extremely old if she had been his paternal grandmother. Two other factors point to Fredeburge not being his grandmother. Firstly, it is extremely unlikely that Guigues [III]’s maternal grandmother could have given birth to a son by a second marriage, given the birth date estimated for her son by her [first] husband. Secondly, she is named in a charter dated 1012 (see above) which makes no mention of Fredeburge’s second husband, although it is likely that it predated the undated charter. A more likely explanation is that Fredeburge, who married Arnoul, was an otherwise unrecorded daughter of the older Fredeburge by her marriage to Guigues [I], and that the witness to the charter was her nephew. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[175], Fredeburge’s husband was "Arnoul de Theys", although the primary source which confirms his family name has not yet been identified. Chorier identifies him as Arnoul, son of Rudolf ("Arnoul, fils du comte Rodolphe"), adding that the latter patronised Fredeburge’s family[176]. He cites no primary source on which he bases his statement. m ARNOUL [de Theys], son of ---. same person as …? ARNOUL, son of Comte RUDOLF & his wife ---.]

GUIGUES [III] "Vetus/Vieux", son of GUIGUES [II] & his wife [Gotelene ---] ([995/1000]-Cluny 22 Apr [1074/75]). "Rodolfus rex" jointly with "Agiltrude regina coniuge nostra nec non archiepiscopo Burchardo fratre nostro et comitibus Rodulpho et Uberto" gave the castle of Moras to "Umberto episcopo eiusque matri domine Freburgie et nepotibus eius, Wigonis bone memorie filiis, Umberto Wigoni Willelmo" by charter dated 6 Jun 1009[177]. His birth date range, estimated consistent with the birth date ranges which are estimated for the other members of this family, means that Guigues was probably still a child at the date of this charter. "…Wigonis et Umberti filiorum fratris eius…" signed the charter dated 1012 under which "Umbertus Grationopolensis ecclesiæ præsul" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Chaffre[178]. Comte d’Albon. "Wigo comes filius Gotelenne" donated "ecclesiam de Visilia" to Cluny by undated charter, subscribed by "Wigonis filii sui, Ainardi de Domena, duobus de fratribus suis Attanulfi Wigonis, Bermundi de Aurel, Humberti nepotis sui"[179]. This charter is dated to [1090] in the compilation of Cluny charters. The document refers to Hugues abbot of Cluny, who is named in documents between 1048 and 1090. If [1090] is the correct date, it would have been signed towards the end of the lives of all three of the Domène brothers who subscribed the document: they are named in charters for Domène between [1027] and [1085][180]. It is therefore possible that the document dates from earlier in the abbacy of Hugues, in which case the donor could be Guigues [III] "Vetus". If this was correct, it would also resolve the problem of the identity of Gotelene. Chorier’s Histoire de Dauphiné suggests that "Gotelenne" was a corruption derived from the word "Catalonia" and therefore that this charter refers to Guigues [III]’s son by Ines de Barcelona[181]. This seems an unlikely explanation as the name "Catalonia" has not been observed in contemporary charters to describe Barcelona and adjacent counties collectively (see the document CATALONIA). A charter dated 29 Apr 1050 records the donation by "Guigoni…maiori, qui postea effectus est monachus…et Adelai comitissæ, et alii Guigoni, filio illius Guigonis…et uxori eius Petronillæ" to Saint-Pierre de Vienne[182]. "…Guigo comes et filius eius Guigo…" witnessed the charter dated 27 Jan 1052 which records an agreement between the archbishop of Vienne and the canons of the church of Romans[183]. "Vuigo comes" donated property "in parrochia Heroneii" to Domène by undated charter which names "dominus Hugo Prior de Domina" (whose priorship is dated to [1058] to [1072], indicating that the donor was Guigues [III] "Vetus")[184]. "Guigo comes qui nomine vocor senex atque filius meus Guigo pinguis" donated property to Oulx by charter dated 1063[185]. “Wigo” (signed “Wigonis comitis”) granted “sponse mee…Agnetis” various properties “in dotalitio”, including “castellum Albionem…Moratum…et Vallem…in comitatu Viennensis” by charter dated “VI Id Mai, luna XX^ma VI^a regnante Henrico rege”, subscribed by “Pontii episcopi”[186], the date corresponding to the year 1070. He became a monk at Cluny. The necrology of the Priory of Saint-Martin-des-Champs records the death "X Kal Mai" of "Wigo comes"[187]. The necrology of the priory of Saint-Robert records the death "X Kal Mai" of "Guigo comes qui cognominatus est Vetus"[188]. No document has yet been found which identifies the year of his death. However, considering the date of his second marriage, and the birth of his son by his second wife, it is likely that he died in [1074/75]. He was dead by 12 Nov 1076, the date of the testament of his father-in-law Ramon Berenguer Comte de Barcelona which provides for the reversion of the testator’s county to "filium Guigonis de Albion quem habuit de filia sua Agnes" in case of extinction of his descendants in the male line[189]. This wording implies that both Ines and Guigues were deceased at the time. Prudhomme distinguishes two individuals in place of "Guigues [III]"[190]. He states that the older Guigues died in 1034, married "Gotelenne", and that his son was the second person, Guigues "Vetus". He cites no primary source in support of his theory, in particular no document which indicates that one of the counts Guigues died in 1034. The division of this person into two seems unnecessary to explain the primary sources. The family relationships shown in this document leave no primary source reference unexplained. In any case, it seems appropriate that Guigues "Vetus" should be identified with Guigues [III] as he would have well merited his nickname, assuming that his birth date is correctly estimated as shown above.

m firstly ADELSINDIS, daughter of --- (-after 29 Apr 1050). "Malleni episcopi Gratianopolitani et Wigonis comitis et uxoris eius Adelsendis, filiorumque suorum Umberti et Wigonis" signed a charter dated 26 Aug 1035 relating to the donation of four churches in Vico to the abbey of Saint-Chaffre[191]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[192], the first wife of Guigues [III] was "Gotelana de Clérieux". It appears that this hypothesis must be based on the charter dated [1090] under which "Wigo comes filius Gotelenne" donated property to Cluny[193]. However, as noted above, a better interpretation of the documentation is that "Gotelenne" was the mother of Guigues [III] not his wife. A charter dated 29 Apr 1050 records the donation by "Guigoni…maiori, qui postea effectus est monachus…et Adelai comitissæ, et alii Guigoni, filio illius Guigonis…et uxori eius Petronillæ" to Saint-Pierre de Vienne[194].

m secondly (10 May 1070) INES de Barcelona, daughter of RAMON BERENGUER I "el Viejo" Comte de Barcelona & his third wife Almodis de la Marche ([1055/56]-[before 12 Nov 1076]). “Wigo” (signed “Wigonis comitis”) granted “sponse mee…Agnetis” various properties “in dotalitio”, including “castellum Albionem…Moratum…et Vallem…in comitatu Viennensis” by charter dated “VI Id Mai, luna XX^ma VI^a regnante Henrico rege”, subscribed by “Pontii episcopi”[195], the date corresponding to the year 1070. Her parentage is confirmed by the publication of the testament of "comitis Barchinone…Raimundi Berengarii" dated 12 Nov 1076 includes a residuary provision that, in case of the death of his three other children, his counties would revert to "filium Guigonis de Albion quem habuit de filia sua Agnes"[196]. The wording of the testament implies that both Ines and her husband were deceased at the time.

Guigues [III] & his first wife had two children:

1. HUMBERT ([1025/30]-[1080]). "Malleni episcopi Gratianopolitani et Wigonis comitis et uxoris eius Adelsendis, filiorumque suorum Umberti et Wigonis" signed a charter dated 26 Aug 1035 relating to the donation of four churches in Vico to the abbey of Saint-Chaffre[197]. His birth date range is estimated consistent with the birth date ranges estimated for the other members of this family. Bishop of Grenoble .

2. GUIGUES [IV] "Pinguis" ([1025/30]-19 Jan [1106], bur Priory of Saint-Robert). A charter dated to [1100] relates details of a dispute between the bishop and counts of Albon which names "Guigo Vetus, pater Guigonis Crassus…Guigoni comiti, filio Guigonis Crassis"[198]. "Malleni episcope Gratianopolitani et Wigonis comitis et uxoris eius Adelsendis, filiorumque suorum Umberti et Wigonis" signed a charter dated 26 Aug 1035 relating to the donation of four churches in Vico to the abbey of Saint-Chaffre[199]. Comte d'Albon.

- see below.

Guigues [III] & his second wife had one child:

3. GUIGUES dit Raymond ([1074/75]-5 Dec after 1096). "Wigo Albionis comes" named "fratres mei Guigonis cognomento Raimundi, Richardi, Armannique" in his donation to Cluny dated 1079[200]. He is referred to, but not named, in the testament of "comitis Barchinone…Raimundi Berengarii" dated 12 Nov 1076 as residuary beneficiary of the county of Barcelona in case of the death of the testator's three children[201]. m (1085 or before) as her second husband, [ITA Raymonde] de Forez, [divorced wife] of [RENAUD [II] Comte de Nevers], daughter of ARTAUD [II] Comte de Forez et de Lyon & his wife Raymonde ---. The Origine et Historia Brevi Nivernensium Comitum records that "Guillelmus…[filios]…Renaldum" married firstly "filiam unicam [Artaldi] comitis Foratensis"[202]. La Mure’s Histoire des Comtes de Forez states that "Guy-Raymond de Viennois" married "Ide-Raymonde de Forez, fille d’Artaud V…comte de Lyon et de Forez et d’Ide son épouse" and refers to the couple’s donation of "quelques terres situées au pays de Forez" to Cluny dated 1085, adding that the property in question was Ita’s dowry[203]. La Mure does not quote the charter in question nor provide a precise source reference, apart from referring to Guichenon’s Histoire de Savoie. This charter has not been found in the compilation of Cluny charters edited by Bernard and Bruel so presumably has since disappeared. It is not now therefore possible to state whether the charter explicitly confirms Ita Raymonde’s affiliation, although on this point there appears no reason to doubt that La Mure had the document available when he was writing as his description of its contents is precise. Two difficulties remain. The first difficulty is the date of the supposed Cluny charter, as at that time Guigues would still have been a child (his estimated birth date appears robust). The second difficulty is that Ita must have been considerably older than her second husband, assuming that she was the same daughter who had previously married Renaud [II] Comte de Nevers, as she had a daughter by her first marriage. One possibility is that Artaud [II] Comte de Forez et de Lyon had two daughters, despite the Origine et Historia asserting that Comte Renaud’s wife was "filiam unicam". It should be noted that no source has been identified which confirms that Guigues’s wife had previously been the wife of Comte Renaud. If there was only one daughter, she must have been divorced from her first husband, although no source has been found which confirms that this is correct. It should be noted that La Mure asserts that Renaud [II] Comte de Nevers was Ita’s second husband, married after the death of Guigues, but this appears difficult to reconcile with the chronology of the different families with which she was connected. Guigues & his wife had one child:

a) GUY [Guigues] (-27 Oct 1138). La Mure’s Histoire des Comtes de Forez states that "Guigues ou Guy I…comte de Lyon et de Forez" was the son of Guigues-Raymond and his wife Ita Raymonde and refers to his donation to Cluny dated 1137 for the souls of "son père ledit Guigues surnommé Raymond et…sa mere ladite Ide surnommée Raymonde"[204]. La Mure does not quote the charter in question nor provide a precise source reference, apart from referring to "les sieurs Du Bouchet, d’Hozier et Guichenon". This charter has not been found in the compilation of Cluny charters edited by Bernard and Bruel so presumably has since disappeared. The family origin of Guy/Guigues appears confirmed by another charter, dated 1173, quoted by La Mure (also without providing the source citation reference) under which his grandson "comes Guigo" donated property "a Vienna usque ad Antonem et usque Burgundium" to the church of Lyon except if he succeeded to [the county of Viennois] ("nisi jure hæreditario, ex linea consanguinitatis aliis exclusis, ad ipsum successio fueris devoluta")[205]. Comte de Lyon et de Forez [1115].

- COMTES de LYON et de FOREZ.

Guigues [III] had two [probably illegitimate] children by [an unknown mistress]:

4. RICHARD (-after 1079). "Wigo Albionis comes" named "fratres mei Guigonis cognomento Raimundi, Richardi, Armannique" in his donation to Cluny dated 1079[206]. It is unlikely that Richard and Armand were born from their father’s second marriage as they are not named in their maternal grandfather’s 1076 testament. As they are named after "Guigonis cognomento Raimundi ", it is probable that they were younger brothers or of lesser status, maybe because they were illegitimate.

5. ARMAND (-after 1079). "Wigo Albionis comes" named "fratres mei Guigonis cognomento Raimundi, Richardi, Armannique" in his donation to Cluny dated 1079[207]. It is unlikely that Richard and Armand were born from their father’s second marriage as they are not named in their maternal grandfather’s 1076 testament. As they are named after "Guigonis cognomento Raimundi ", it is probable that they were younger brothers or of lesser status, maybe because they were illegitimate.

GUIGUES [IV] "Pinguis", son of GUIGUES [d'Albon] & his wife first wife Adelsindis --- ([1025/30]-19 Jan [1106], bur Priory of Saint-Robert). A charter dated to [1100] relates details of a dispute between the bishop and counts of Albon which names "Guigo Vetus, pater Guigonis Crassus…Guigoni comiti, filio Guigonis Crassis"[208]. "Malleni episcopi Gratianopolitani et Wigonis comitis et uxoris eius Adelsendis, filiorumque suorum Umberti et Wigonis" signed a charter dated 26 Aug 1035 relating to the donation of four churches in Vico to the abbey of Saint-Chaffre[209]. A charter dated 29 Apr 1050 records the donation by "Guigoni…maiori, qui postea effectus est monachus…et Adelai comitissæ, et alii Guigoni, filio illius Guigonis…et uxori eius Petronillæ" to Saint-Pierre de Vienne[210]. "…Guigo comes et filius eius Guigo…" witnessed the charter dated 27 Jan 1052 which records an agreement between the archbishop of Vienne and the canons of the church of Romans[211]. "Guigo comes qui nomine vocor senex atque filius meus Guigo pinguis" donated property to Oulx by charter dated 1063[212]. Comte d'Albon. "Wigo Albionis comes" named "fratres mei Guigonis cognomento Raimundi, Richardi, Armannique" in his donation to Cluny dated 1079[213]. "Vuigo comes" donated property "in parrochia Heroneii" to Domène by undated charter[214]. "Wigo…comes" confirmed a donation to Cluny by charter dated [1100][215]. "Guigonis comitis, filii Guigonis Veteris…" subscribed the charter dated 22 Jan 1105 relating to a donation to the cathedral of Grenoble[216]. Chorier’s Histoire de Dauphiné states that an epitaph in the priory of Saint-Robert records the death 19 Jan of "Guigo Grassus Dalphinus primus et monachus" but comments that it was erected long after his death[217].

m (before 29 Apr 1050) PETRONILLE, daughter of --- ([1039/41]-9 Sep, before 1106, bur Priory of Domene). A charter dated 29 Apr 1050 records the donation by "Guigoni…maiori, qui postea effectus est monachus…et Adelai comitissæ, et alii Guigoni, filio illius Guigonis…et uxori eius Petronillæ" to Saint-Pierre de Vienne[218]. [According to Europäische Stammtafeln[219], the first wife of Guigues [IV] was Adelaide de Savoie, daughter of Oddon Comte de Chablais, Marchese di Susa & his wife Adelaida Marchesa di Susa ([1052/53]-[Schloß Twiel] early 1079, bur St Blasius). Another table in Europäische Stammtafeln[220] shows the first wife of Guigues Comte d'Albon as "Adelais (von Turin)" and their son Guigues [V] Comte d'Albon as co-heir of Adelaida Marchesa di Susa in 1091. The basis for this hypothesis has not been found, but it is unlikely to be correct considering Adelaide's estimated birth date. On the other hand, it is likely that the wife of Guigues [IV] was a descendant of Adelaida Marchesa di Susa, assuming that it is correct that his son Guigues [V] was one of her co-heirs in 1091. If that is correct, it is possible that his wife was the daughter of Adelaida’s second marriage to Enrico di Monferrato, and therefore born in [1039/41]. If Guigues [IV]’s wife was Petronille named in the charter quoted above, she would have still been a child at the time of that marriage.] The necrology of the priory of Saint-Robert records the death "V Id Sep" of "la comtesse Pétronille, épouse de Guigues le Gras et mère de Guigues le comte"[221]. Her burial place is confirmed by the charter dated 1106 under which "dominus Vuigo comes et uxor eius Regina quæ fuit de Anglia" confirmed a donation to Domène which states that "matris suæ" was buried in the monastery[222].

Guigues [IV] & his wife had [three] children:

1. GUIGUES [V] ([1050/70]-21 Dec 1125). A charter dated to [1100] relates details of a dispute between the bishop and counts of Albon which names "Guigo Vetus, pater Guigonis Crassus…Guigoni comiti, filio Guigonis Crassis"[223]. In 1091, he was co-heir to Adelaida Marchesa di Susa. "Guigo comes, filius Guigonis Crassi" donated property to the cathedral of Grenoble by charter dated 1099[224]. Comte d'Albon. "Dominus Vuigo comes et uxor eius Regina quæ fuit de Anglia" confirmed a donation to Domène by charter dated 1106 which states that "matris suæ" was buried in the monastery[225]. "Guigo comes Albionensis" is recorded as present in a charter dated 2 Aug 1107 which relates to a dispute between "fratres Guidonem Viennensium et Hugonem Gratianopolitanum episcopos" relating to property "in pago Salmoracensi"[226]. An undated charter notes concessions made by "domini Guigonis comitis" to Domène, witnessed by "uxor domini comitis domina Regina et soror eiusdem comitis domina Adelaida…"[227]. "Dominus Vuigo comes" donated property "cabannaria…in mandamento castri Vorappiæ" to Domène, in the presence of "dominæ Reginæ uxoris domini Vuigonis comitis", by charter dated 1107[228]. Comte Guigues and his wife "Regina nominate Maheldis" donated property to Chalais abbey, with the approval of "leurs fils Guigues Delfinus et Humbert", by charter dated 31 Oct 1110[229]. Comte Guigues and his wife "Matelda" donated property to the Hospital of Jerusalem at Gap by charter dated 30 Apr 1112[230]. A charter dated to [1122] records a donation by "Guigo comes et Matildis uxor eius" of property "in parochia Sancti Saturnini juxta aquam Velciam" to the abbey of Bonnevaux, later confirmed by "Guigo delphinus et uxor eius et Humbertus Podiensis episcopus frater eius", the confirmation witnessed by "Matildis mater eius"[231]. "Guigo comes filius Petronille" donated property to Oulx, for the soul of "uxorisque mee Matildis", by charter dated to [1101/32], witnessed by "Matiltis regina uxor eius et filius eius Humbertus Aniciensi ecclesie electus…"[232]. The necrology of the priory of Saint-Robert records the death 21 Dec 1125 of "Guigues le Comte, qui construisit le monastère de Saint-Robert de Cornillon"[233]. m REGINA [Matilda], daughter of --- [from England] (-[1146/47]). "Dominus Vuigo comes et uxor eius Regina quæ fuit de Anglia" confirmed a donation to Domène by charter dated 1106 which states that "matris suæ" was buried in the monastery[234]. An undated charter notes concessions made by "domini Guigonis comitis" to Domène, witnessed by "uxor domini comitis domina Regina et soror eiusdem comitis domina Adelaida…"[235]. "Dominus Vuigo comes" donated property "cabannaria…in mandamento castri Vorappiæ" to Domène, in the presence of "dominæ Reginæ uxoris domini Vuigonis comitis", by charter dated 1107[236]. "Vuigo comes et uxor eius Mahiol" granted commitments to the monks of Chalais by charter dated to [1108/10][237]. Comte Guigues and his wife "Regina nominate Maheldis" donated property to Chalais abbey, with the approval of "leurs fils Guigues Delfinus et Humbert", by charter dated 31 Oct 1110[238]. Comte Guigues and his wife "Matelda" donated property to the Hospital of Jerusalem at Gap by charter dated 30 Apr 1112[239].

"Guigo comes filius Petronille" donated property to Oulx, for the soul of "uxorisque mee Matildis", by charter dated to [1101/32], witnessed by "Matiltis regina uxor eius et filius eius Humbertus Aniciensi ecclesie electus…"[241]. A charter dated to [1122] records a donation by "Guigo comes et Matildis uxor eius" of property "in parochia Sancti Saturnini juxta aquam Velciam" to the abbey of Bonnevaux, later confirmed by "Guigo delphinus et uxor eius et Humbertus Podiensis episcopus frater eius", the confirmation witnessed by "Matildis mater eius"[242]. "La reine Mathilde" donated property to the abbey of Chalais in 1146, confirmed by charter dated 1147 by "Humbert alors évêque du Puy, depuis archévêque de Vienne…le comte Guigues, fils de Guigues dauphin et sa mere"[243]. Guigues [V] & his wife had [four] children:

a) GUIGUES [VI] ([1090/1100]-killed in battle La Buissière 28 Jun 1142, bur Notre Dame de Grenoble). Comte Guigues and his wife "Regina nominate Maheldis" donated property to Chalais abbey, with the approval of "leurs fils Guigues Delfinus et Humbert", by charter dated 31 Oct 1110[244]. Comte d'Albon.

- see below.

b) HUMBERT d’Albon (-26 Jun or 20 Nov 1147). Comte Guigues and his wife "Regina nominate Maheldis" donated property to Chalais abbey, with the approval of "leurs fils Guigues Delfinus et Humbert", by charter dated 31 Oct 1110[245]. A charter dated to [1122] records a donation by "Guigo comes et Matildis uxor eius" of property "in parochia Sancti Saturnini juxta aquam Velciam" to the abbey of Bonnevaux, later confirmed by "Guigo delphinus et uxor eius et Humbertus Podiensis episcopus frater eius", the confirmation witnessed by "Matildis mater eius"[246]. Bishop of Le Puy . "Guigo comes filius Petronille" donated property to Oulx, for the soul of "uxorisque mee Matildis", by charter dated to [1101/32], witnessed by "Matiltis regina uxor eius et filius eius Humbertus Aniciensi ecclesie electus…"[247]. "Umbertus filius comitis" subscribed a charter dated 1125 under which "Petrus archiepiscopus Viennensis" confirmed donations by his predecessor "Guidonis" to Valence Saint-Rufus[248], although it is not certain that this refers to Humbert son of Comte Guigues [III]. "La reine Mathilde" donated property to the abbey of Chalais in 1146, confirmed by charter dated 1147 by "Humbert alors évêque du Puy, depuis archévêque de Vienne…le comte Guigues, fils de Guigues dauphin et sa mere"[249]. Archbishop of Vienne . The necrology of Saint-Robert records the death 26 Jun (20 Nov) 1147 of "Humbert archévêque de Vienne"[250].

c) GERSENDE . The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. 1152. Her name is confirmed by the following document: “Guillaume comte de Forcalquier” recalled that, during his adolescence, he donated property to Lure with “son aïeule la comtesse Garsende” by charter dated 1 May 1207[251]. m GUILLAUME [III] Comte de Forcalquier, son of ARMENGOL [IV] "él de Gerp" Conde de Urgel & his second wife Adélaïde de Provence Ctss de Forcalquier (-Avignon 1129).

d) MATHILDE ([1112/16]-after 30 Mar 1148). The Aymari Rivalli De Allobrogibus records that "Amedeo…secundo, Mauriennæ comiti" married "Guigona Crassi filia"[252]. The identity of her father is clarified as the passage also names "Humbertus minor Crassi filius" and his appointment ot "archiepiscopatum Viennensem". Europäische Stammtafeln[253] shows a single marriage of Comte Amédée III, to Mathilde d'Albon, in 1123. It is more likely that Mathilde was his second wife, especially if her likely birth date range is correct. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[254], Mathilde's parents were married [1106-1110]. The same table shows that Mathilde's two brothers, Guigues and Humbert, were mentioned in 1110, indicating that the marriage must have taken place during the earlier part of this date range, if the range is correct. A third child, Gersende d'Albon, must also have born during the early years of her parents' marriage as she herself gave birth to two sons before (or shortly after) the death of her husband in Oct 1129. Assuming all these dates are correct, the timescale is tight for the birth of a fourth child, Mathilde, before 1112 at the earliest. This would make it impossible for Mathilde to have been the mother of Comte Amédée's oldest daughter Alix. "A. comes et marchio cum uxore sua M." donated property to the monastery of Ripalta, with the support of "eorum filio Umberto", by charter dated 9 Jan 1137[255]. "Amedeus comes et marchio et Maies comitissa uxor eius et Umbertus eorum filius" donated property to the monastery of Saint-Maurice by charter dated 30 Mar 1143[256]. "Amedeus comes et marchio" confirmed donations to Saint-Sulpice en Bugey, for the soul of "filii mei Humberti", by charter dated to [1148], which also names "uxore mea Matildi", confirmed by "Aalasia comitissa de Bello Joco…cum filio meo Guichardo"[257]. "Amedeus comes et marchio et Majes comitissa uxor eius et Umbertus eorum filius" confirmed the rights of the monastery of Saint-Maurice d’Agaune by charter dated 30 Mar 1148[258]. m ([Jul 1134/1135]) as his second wife, AMEDEE III Comte de Maurienne et de Savoie, son of HUMBERT II "le Renforcé" Comte de Maurienne et de Savoie & his wife Gisèle de Bourgogne [Comté] ([1095]-Nicosia 30 Aug 1148).

2. ADELAIDE . An undated charter notes concessions made by "domini Guigonis comitis" to Domène, witnessed by "uxor domini comitis domina Regina et soror eiusdem comitis domina Adelaida…"[259].

3. [daughter . It is possible that the mother of Amédée was the daughter of Guigues named Adelaide, shown above, but the primary source which confirms that this is correct has not yet been identified.] m SOFFREDUS [Siboud] d'Hauterive, son of ---. One child:

a) AMEDEE (-after 1122). Monk at Bonnevaux 1119. Chorier’s Histoire de Dauphiné states that "un ancient auteur" (whom he does not name or cite) records that "Guigo comes Albinensis avunculus eius" visited "Amadeus" at Bonnevaux in 1122[260].

GUIGUES [VI] d'Albon, son of GUIGUES [V] Comte d'Albon & his wife Regina [Matilda] --- ([1090/1100]-killed in battle La Buissière 28 Jun 1142, bur Notre Dame de Grenoble). Comte Guigues and his wife "Regina nominate Maheldis" donated property to Chalais abbey, with the approval of "leurs fils Guigues Delfinus et Humbert", by charter dated 31 Oct 1110[261]. "Guigo Delphinus" donated "decimas ecclesiæ Heroneii", payment of which "pater meus Guigo comes" relinquished in his favour, to Domène by undated charter[262]. He succeeded his father as Comte d'Albon. He was known as "Dauphin", the first of the family to be referred to in contemporary charters with the surname "Delfinus". A charter dated to [1122] records a donation by "Guigo comes et Matildis uxor eius" of property "in parochia Sancti Saturnini juxta aquam Velciam" to the abbey of Bonnevaux, later confirmed by "Guigo delphinus et uxor eius et Humbertus Podiensis episcopus frater eius", the confirmation witnessed by "Matildis mater eius"[263]. " The necrology of the Priory of Saint-Martin-des-Champs records the death "V Kal Jul" of "Guigo comes"[264].

m ([1120]) CLEMENCE [Marguerite] de Mâcon, daughter of ETIENNE [I] Comte de Mâcon [Bourgogne-Comté] & his wife Béatrix de Lorraine (-Abbaye des Ayes [28 Jan/8 Feb] 1164, bur Abbaye des Ayes). The Vita Margaritæ Albonensis comitissæ records that "Stephani Burgundiæ comitis filia, soror…Rainaldi et Guillermi, neptisque…Papæ Callixti" married "comitis Guigonis Dalphini" in celebrations conducted by "principe Guigone veteri, eiusdem Guigone patre"[265]. The Aymari Rivalli De Allobrogibus records that "Guigo secundus" married "Macildam vel Clementiam filiam Stephani seu Sophini, Burgundiæ ducis, neptem papæ Claixti secundi"[266]. A monumental inscription at the abbey of Ayes, near Grenoble, records the death "VI Id Feb" in 1164 of "Margareta comitissa"[267]. The necrology of the priory of Saint-Robert records the death "VII Kal Jan" of "Margareta comitissa"[268].

Guigues [VI] & his wife had three children:

1. GUIGUES [VII] (-Château de Vizille 29 Jul 1162, bur Notre Dame de Grenoble). He succeeded his father as Comte d'Albon, and was also referred to as "Dauphin". "La reine Mathilde" donated property to the abbey of Chalais in 1146, confirmed by charter dated 1147 by "Humbert alors évêque du Puy, depuis archévêque de Vienne…le comte Guigues, fils de Guigues dauphin et sa mere"[269]. Berthold Herzog von Zähringen (imperial administrator of the kingdom of Burgundy) granted rights in Vienne, which Emperor Lothar II had granted to his predecessor Duke Konrad, to “Guigoni Dalphino Albonis comiti” by charter dated 1155[270]. "Dom. comes Albionensium, Guigo…dalphinus", acting with his council of advisers "Arberti de Turre…" and with the advice of "Willelmi de Clariaco Romanensis ecclesie sacristie", gave permission to the inhabitants of Romans to build a wall around their town, by charter dated 1161[271]. The Aymari Rivalli De Allobrogibus records the death in 1162 "in castro suo Visiliæ prope Gratianopolim" of "Guigo tertius" and his burial next to his father[272]. m ([1155]) BEATRIX, daughter of --- (- bur Notre-Dame de Grenoble). The wife of Guigues [VII] is named Beatrix in secondary sources but the primary source which confirms that this is correct has not yet been identified. Her origin has been the subject of considerable controversy. The Vita Margaritæ Albonensis comitissæ records that the son of Marguerite de Viennois married "Imperatore…consanguineam"[273]. The Aymari Rivalli De Allobrogibus records that "Guigo tertius" married "neptem…primi Federici imperatoris"[274]. Chorier’s Histoire de Dauphiné names her Beatrice di Monferrato, daughter of Guglielmo V Marchese di Monferrato & his wife Judith of Austria, stating that her parentage is confirmed by letters from Emperor Friedrich I, dated 1168, addressed to "Guigoni Dalphino" which refer to her as "filia Guillelmi comitis Montisferrati"[275]. This document has not been found in a search of the MGH compilation of diplomas of Emperor Friedrich. Usseglio suggests that Chorier’s hypothesis is based on a misinterpretation of a charter of Emperor Friedrich II, dated Mar 1238, which is addressed to "Beatricis filiæ quondam Guillelmi Marchionis Montisferrati" (who was the daughter of Guglielmo VI Marchese di Monferrato, and widow of Dauphin André), and confirms privileges granted to Dauphin Guigues [VII] in 1155[276]. The family connections of Emperor Friedrich I are so numerous that it does not seem worthwhile to speculate on Beatrix’s correct parentage. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[277], Beatrice married secondly Enrico Marchese di Caretto. However, the only primary source which suggests this second marriage appears to be the late 13th/14th century Vida of the poet Raimbaut de Vaqueiras which describes her as sister of Bonifazio Marchese di Monferrato and states that she married "Enric del Caret"[278]. However, Raimbaut de Vaqueiras himself calls her "filha del marques" in the famous 'Carros', 'Truan, mala guerra', composed in [1200/01], which emphasises her youth[279], which seems to suggest that the Beatrice in question must have been the daughter not sister of Marchese Bonifazio. A marriage with Dauphin Guigues would therefore be chronologically impossible. Guigues [VII] & his wife had two children:

a) [GUIGUES [VIII] (-after 1168). Chorier’s Histoire de Dauphiné records that letters from Emperor Friedrich I, dated 1168, were addressed to "Guigoni Dalphino"[280]. He succeeded his father as Comte d'Albon, and was also referred to as "Dauphin". In light of Chorier’s dubious interpretation of the parentage of the wife of Dauphin Guigues [VII], it is possible that the existence of Guigues [VIII] may have been an invention by Chorier to fit his theories[281]. No other reference has been found to this alleged Guigues [VIII]. In particular, he never seems to have been mentioned by his supposed sister in her documents. It is suggested that Chorier’s information should be treated with caution.]

b) BEATRIX (1161-Château de Vizille, Isère 15 Dec 1228, bur Abbaye de Ayes, near Grenoble). Her parentage and first marriage are confirmed by a chronicle written by "Guillaume, chanoine de l’église cathédrale de Grenoble" which records that "filiam filii sui" (referring to Marguerite, paternal grandmother of Beatrix) married "comitem S. Ægidii"[282]. She succeeded her [father/brother] as Ctss d'Albon. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the wife of "Albrico Tailhefer comite Sancti Egidii" was "filia senioris Dalfini" and her second marriage to "dux"[283]. The Annales S. Benigni Divionensis record the marriage of Duke Hugues with "Beatricem, filiam Delfini comitis Alboni apud Sanctum Egidium"[284]. Her third marriage is confirmed by the following document: “Hugo Coloniaci”, leaving for Jerusalem, donated rights in property “apud Siliniacum” to the Chartreuse of Seligna by charter dated 1202, witnessed by “Beatrix ducissa uxor mea...”[285]. Valbonnais cites the testament of "la duchesse Beatrix" dated 1228 which names "son héritier le Dauphin André son fils…Matilde sa fille aînée femme de Jean Comte de Chalon…Marguerite son autre fille épouse d’Amédée fils du comte de Savoye"[286]. m firstly (before 11 Oct 1179) ALBERIC "Taillefer" de Toulouse Comte de Saint-Gilles, son of RAYMOND V Comte de Toulouse & his wife Constance de France (-1183 before 1 Sep). "Tallifers Viennensium comes et Albonensium comes" donated property to Oulx by charter dated 11 Oct 1179[287]. "Taillafers Viennensium et Albonensium comes" confirmed privileges to the abbey of Durbon, granted by "pater meus Raymondus dux Narbonæ, comes Tholosæ, marchio Provinciæ", by charter dated 1183[288]. m secondly (Saint-Gilles-en-Languedoc 1 Sep 1183) as his second wife, HUGUES III Duke of Burgundy, son of EUDES II Duke of Burgundy & his wife Marie de Blois-Champagne ([1148]-Acre 7 or 25 Aug 1192, bur Abbaye de Cîteaux). m thirdly ([1193]) HUGUES Seigneur de Coligny-le-Neuf, son of HUMBERT [II] Seigneur de Coligny & his wife Ida de Vienne [Bourgogne-Comté] (-killed in battle Serrhai 2 Sep 1205).

2. MARQUISE (-21 Jul 1196, bur Abbaye des Ayes). The Vita Margaritæ Albonensis comitissæ records that the two daughters of Marguerite de Viennois married "alteram…Arvenensium comiti, regis Franciæ consanguineo" and "alteram Valentinensium comiti"[289]. The Aymari Rivalli De Allobrogibus names "Marchesiam et Delphinam" as the two daughters of "Guigo secundus" and his wife "Macildam vel Clementiam filiam Stephani seu Sophini, Burgundiæ ducis, neptem papæ Claixti secundi", adding that "una comita Arverno, alterna Valentino" married[290]. A monumental inscription at the abbey of Ayes, near Grenoble, records the death "XII Kal Aug" of "Marchisia"[291]. m ([1150]) [as his second wife,] GUILLAUME [VII] "le Jeune" Comte d'Auvergne, son of ROBERT [III] Comte d'Auvergne & his wife --- (-[1169]).

3. [BEATRIX] . The Vita Margaritæ Albonensis comitissæ records that the two daughters of Marguerite de Viennois married "alteram…Arvenensium comiti, regis Franciæ consanguineo" and "alteram Valentinensium comiti"[292]. The Aymari Rivalli De Allobrogibus names "Marchesiam et Delphinam" as the two daughters of "Guigo secundus" and his wife "Macildam vel Clementiam filiam Stephani seu Sophini, Burgundiæ ducis, neptem papæ Claixti secundi", adding that "una comita Arverno, alterna Valentino" married[293]. Bearing in mind the [1120] marriage date of her parents of [Beatrix], and the death of her father in 1142 which provides the latest possible date for her birth, Guillaume is the only known Comte de Valentinois to whom this can refer. The primary source which names her has not yet been identified. m as his [second] wife, GUILLAUME de Poitiers Comte de Valentinois, son of AYMAR de Poitiers Comte de Valentinois & his wife --- (-[1187/88]).

D. COMTES d’ALBON, DAUPHINS (BOURGOGNE [CAPET])

The county of Albon passed by marriage to a younger branch of the family of the dukes of Burgundy. As noted in the Introduction to Part C above, the term “dauphin” was used as a type of patronymic by André de Bourgogne [Capet], son of Beatrix heiress of Viennois and granddaughter of Guigues [VI], to highlight his maternal descent[294]. By the end of the 13th century, “dauphin” had evolved into a title borne by the rulers of Albon and Viennois. The first reference to the "delphinatum" of Vienne and Albon dates to 1285[295]. In addition, it was transformed into a regular name in the family of the comtes d’Auvergne, into which it was transmitted through Marquise, daughter of Guigues [VI][296].

ANDRE de Bourgogne, son of HUGUES III Duke of Burgundy & his second wife Beatrix de Viennois Ctss d'Albon (1184-14 Mar 1237, bur Grenoble, église collégiale de Saint-André). The Aymari Rivalli De Allobrogibus names "Octavium et Andream" as the two sons of "Beatrice relictis Tallifer" and "Hugo Burgundiæ dux"[297]. "Hugo Burgundie dux et Albonii comes" donated property to the Templars at Beaune, with the support of "Beatricis uxoris mee et…filiorum meorum Odonis, Alexandri et Dalphini", by charter dated Dec 1188[298]. Comte de Gap et d'Embrun by right of his first wife in 1202. He succeeded his mother in 1228 as Comte d’Albon, and was also referred to as "Dauphin". A charter dated 1210 records an agreement between "dominus Andreas Dalfinus" and the church of Embrun, relating to donations by "domino Wilelmo bonæ memoriæ comite Forcalcarii" and "eidem Delfino et uxori eius"[299]. "Andreas comes Albionensis" donated property to Léoncel by charter dated 1227[300]. "Andreas Dalphinus comes Vienne et Ailbonis" donated property to Léoncel by charter dated 4 Jul 1231[301]. The testament of "Dom. Andreas Dalphinus Viennensis et Albonis comitis" is dated 4 Mar 1236, names as his heir "Guigonem filium suum", appoints "Beatricem uxorem suam comitissam matris eiusdem Guigonis" as his tutor, and names "Beatrici filiæ suæ uxori comitis Montis-fortis"[302]. The Aymari Rivalli De Allobrogibus records the death "III Id Mar" in 1237 of "Andreas Delphinus"[303].

m firstly (Saint-Firmin-sur-le-Buech Jun 1202, separated for consanguinity 1211) BEATRIX de Sabran, daughter and heiress of RAINON [I] de Sabran Seigneur de Caylar et d'Ansouis & his wife Garsende de Forcalquier Ctss de Gap et d'Embrun (1182-after 5 Sep 1215). "Willelmo…comite Forcalquerii filio dominæ comitissæ veterannæ" confirmed the marriage of "Delfino filio dominæ Beatricis…ducissæ Burgundiæ, Albonensis ac Viennensis comitissæ" and "neptem suam…filiam filiæ suæ…Beatricem" and granted her the counties of Embrun and Gap as her dowry, by charter dated [3] Jun 1202[304]. Ctss de Gap et d’Embrun. The Aymari Rivalli De Allobrogibus records that "Andreas" married "Beatricem, filiam Guillermi Falcaquerii comitis" and inherited "comitatum Falcaquerium" from her, adding in a later passage that he repudiated her for consanguinity[305], although this skips a generation in recording the parentage of Beatrix. A charter dated 1210 records an agreement between "dominus Andreas Dalfinus" and the church of Embrun, relating to donations by "domino Wilelmo bonæ memoriæ comite Forcalcarii" and "eidem Delfino et uxori eius"[306].

m secondly ([1216]) SEMNORESSE de Poitiers, daughter of AYMAR [II] de Poitiers Comte de Valentinois & his wife Philippa de FayHer marriage is shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[307]. Kerrebrouck[308] says that it is incorrect, but does not give the basis for his doubts. The dates relating to the first and third wives of Dauphin Guigues VI suggest that the chronology is tight for an intermediate marriage. The doubt seems to be removed by the following document: Jean Archbishop of Vienne “Aimar de Sassenage et Aimar de Bressieux” settled a dispute between “Aimar de Poitiers comte de Valentinois” and Dauphin André concerning the dowry of “Samnoresse fille d’Aimar morte sans enfants de son mariage avec André”, by charter dated 1223[309].

m thirdly (21 Nov 1219) as her first husband, BEATRICE di Monferrato, daughter of GUGLIELMO VI Marchese di Monferrato & his [second] wife Berta di Clavesana ([1204/10]-after 4 Mar 1236). The Aymari Rivalli De Allobrogibus records the marriage of "Andreas Delphinus" and "Beatricem, Guillermi marchionis Montisferrati filiam" after repudiating his first wife[310]. The testament of "Dom. Andreas Dalphinus Viennensis et Albonis comitis" is dated 4 Mar 1236, names as his heir "Guigonem filium suum", and appoints "Beatricem uxorem suam comitissam matris eiusdem Guigonis" as his tutor[311]. Many secondary sources state that Beatrice married, as her second husband, Guy [II] Seigneur de Bâgé (see BURGUNDY DUCHY NOBILITY). Guichenon, in his Histoire de Savoie, explains the background to this error, recording that "Pingon, du Buttet, du Chesne et les sainte Marthe…moi après eux" confused the name "Dauphine", under which Guy’s widow is recorded with the title "Dauphine [de Viennois]"[312], the widow of André Comte d’Albon being the only available person with that title.

André & his first wife had [two] children:

1. BEATRIX de Viennois ([1205]-17 Sep after 1248). The Historia Albigensium of Pierre de Vaux-Cernay records the betrothal of "primogenitum comitis nostri…Almaricum" and "filiam Delphini", dated to 1214 from the context[313]. The Aymari Rivalli De Allobrogibus records the marriage of "Andreas Delphinatum…et…Beatrice…Beatricem filiam" and "Amalrico comiti Montisfortis"[314]. "Amalricus…dux Narbonæ, comes Tholosæ, vicecomes Biterrensis et dominus Montisfortis" donated property to the church of Embrun, relating to the dowry of "uxoris meæ filiæ comitis Dalphini", by charter dated 13 Dec 1222[315]. The testament of "Dom. Andreas Dalphinus Viennensis et Albonis comitis" is dated 4 Mar 1236, names "Beatrici filiæ suæ uxori comitis Montis-fortis"[316]. "Almaricus comes Montisfortis, Francie constabularius" donated land "in loco…Marescheria" [Marchesserie] to Notre-Dame de la Roche for anniversaries for "…Guidonis Bigorensis comitis fratris nostri", with the consent of "Beatricis uxoris nostre", by charter dated Mar 1237[317]. The necrology of Port-Royal records the death "XV Kal Oct" of "Beatrix contesse de Montfort jadis femme de Almary conte"[318]. Betrothed (1207) to GUILLAUME de Nevers, son of HERVE [IV] Seigneur de Donzy Comte de Nevers & his wife Mathilde de Courtenay Ctss de Nevers, d'Auxerre et de Tonnerre (-[1207/12]). m (Betrothed Carcassonne [1214], consummated 1222) AMAURY [VII] de Montfort, son of SIMON [V] de Montfort Earl of Leicester, Duc de Narbonne, Comte de Toulouse, Vicomte de Béziers et de Carcassonne, Seigneur de Montfort & his wife Alix de Montmorency (-Otranto [Apr] 1241, bur Rome, St Peter's). He succeeded his father in 1218 as Duc de Narbonne, Comte de Toulouse, Seigneur de Montfort. He later used the title Earl of Leicester.

2. [MARGUERITE de Viennois ([1203/07]-[1242]). The Inventory of the State Archives of Turin[319] mentions a document dated 1230 which refers to the marriage of Comte Amédée with "Marguerite daughter of André dauphin, comte de Viennois", but without giving the context (marriage contract, appointment of proxy etc.). Although her mother is not named, the date of the document suggests that it is likely that Marguerite would have been born from her supposed father's first marriage. However, there is some doubt whether this reference can be correct. As noted in the document SAVOY, two primary sources indicate that Comte Amédée IV married Marguerite de Bourgogne as his first wife, one source indicating that she was still alive in 1228. Marguerite de Viennois would therefore have been the niece of Comte Amédée’s first wife. Such a relationship by marriage would have necessitated a papal dispensation, which may not have been easily obtained given the closeness of the affinity. In addition, this supposed second marriage would have taken place during the papacy of Pope Gregory IX, who is recorded as granting only 11 dispensations during his 14 year reign (6 of which related to validating existing marriages), which suggests that he was "averse to dispensing from the impediments of relationship"[320]. Another possibility is that the Inventory of State Archives mistook "daughter" for "sister" in its extract, and that the 1230 document refers to Comte Amédée’s earlier marriage to Marguerite de Bourgogne. Since writing the above comment, an updated version of the online State Archives Inventory now suggests that this possibility may be correct: while the new summary still refers to “Matrimoni. Amedeo IV di Savoia e Margherita figlia di Andrea Delfino conte di Vienna”, a further extract states that the document records that “Margherita di Vienne” gave receipt “al fratello Andrea Delfino di Vienne” for the sum bequeathed to her “in testamento dalla madre Beatrice contessa di Vienne”[321]. The original document has not been consulted to verify how this conflict is resolved. Altogether, this possible second marriage, based only on this index entry, now looks unlikely to be correct.] m (before 1221) as his [second] wife, AMEDEE de Savoie, son of THOMAS I Comte de Savoie & his wife Marguerite [Béatrix] de Genève (Montmélian, Savoie 1197-Montmélian 24 Jun or 13 Jul 1253, bur Hautecombe, abbaye royale de Sainte-Marie). He succeeded his father in 1233 as AMEDEE IV Comte de Savoie.]

André & his third wife had [two] children:

3. GUIGUES de Viennois (1225-Aug 1269, bur Chartreuse Abbaye de Prémol). The Aymari Rivalli De Allobrogibus names "Guigonem quartum" as son of "Andreas Delphinus" and his wife "Beatricem, Guillermi marchionis Montisferrati filiam"[322]. The testament of "Dom. Andreas Dalphinus Viennensis et Albonis comitis" is dated 4 Mar 1236, names as his heir "Guigonem filium suum", and appoints "Beatricem uxorem suam comitissam matris eiusdem Guigonis" as his tutor[323]. He succeeded his father in 1237 as Comte d’Albon, Dauphin, Comte de Gap et d'Embrun, under the regency of his mother. "G. dalphinus Viennensis et Albonis comes" confirmed donations to Léoncel by "A. pater noster" by charter dated 22 Jul 1251, which names "nobilis vir quondam Gucelinus de Roians Poncio quondam abbati dicti loci"[324]. The testament of "Guigo Dalphinus, Vienn. et Albonis comitis", dated 27 Jun 1267, appointed "Johannem filium meum" as his heir, made bequests to "Annam et Catharinam filias meas…Beatrix uxor mea", and confirmed donations made by "…matertera Margarita vel Domina Ducissa avia mea…meæ amitæ quondam comitissæ Sabaudiæ"[325]. "Guigo Dalphinus Viennensis et Albonensis comes ac dominus Fucigniaci" confirmed privileges granted to Grenoble Saint-Robert by “domini Andreæ Dalphini...patris nostri et dominæ Beatricis Burgundiæ ducissæ aviæ nostræ” by charter dated 10 May 1269[326]. Betrothed (contract [Jan/May] 1240) to CECILE des Baux, daughter of BARRAL Seigneur de Baux & his wife Béatrice d'Anduze (-21 May 1275). An agreement dated 1240 between "Raymond VII Comte de Toulouse" and "Guigues Comte du Viennois" refers to the marriage of the latter to "Cécile sa nièce, fille de Barral de Baux"[327]. This betrothal is confirmed by the judgment dated 10 Mar 1261 under which the marriage between "Vienna e Beatrice figlia di Pietro di Savoia" was confirmed as valid despite a prior verbal agreement between "detto Delfino e Cecilia di Beaux figlia del Conte Barallo di Beaux, ed indi Moglie d'Amedeo quarto Conte di Savoia"[328]. Betrothed (contract before Jun 1240, annulled Jun 1240) to SANCHA de Provence, daughter of RAYMOND BERENGER IV Comte de Provence & his wife Beatrix de Savoie (Aix-en-Provence [1225]-Berkhamstead Castle, Buckinghamshire 5 or 9 Nov 1261, bur Hayles Abbey, Gloucestershire). A charter dated Jun 1240 records the episcopal annulment of the betrothal of "Guigonem Dalphinum Viennæ et Albonis" and "filiam comitis Provinciæ" because of his prior commitment to marry "filia Barralis domini de Baucio"[329]. It is assumed that this betrothal relates to Sancha, because her two older sisters were married at that date and her younger sister probably too young to have been betrothed. m (Betrothed 3 Dec 1241, [before 22 Apr 1253]) as her first husband, BEATRIX de Savoie Dame de Faucigny, daughter and heiress of PIERRE Comte de Savoie, Duc de Chablais & his wife Agnès Dame de Faucigny ([1237]-21 Apr 1310, bur Faucigny, Chartreuse Monastery of Melans). The marriage contract of "Guigoni Dalphino comiti Viennensi et Albonensi" and "Aymo dominus Fuciniaci…Beatricem filiam Agnetis filiæ suæ ex Petro de Sabaudie" is dated 4 Dec 1241[330]. The testament of "Petri de Sabaudia", dated 8 Jun 1255 at London, names "Beatrix filia sua…Eleonora Angliæ regina…Philippum electrum Lugdunensem fratrem suum, Agneti…Fuciniacensi uxori suæ", and names Henry III King of England as his executor[331]. The Aymari Rivalli De Allobrogibus records the marriage of "Guigonem quartum" and "Beatricem, Petri comitis Sabaudiæ filiam"[332]. The contract of marriage between "Guigone Delfino di Vienna e d'Albona" and "Beatrice figlia di Pietro di Savoia" is dated 4 Dec 1241[333]. The marriage between "Vienna e Beatrice figlia di Pietro di Savoia" was confirmed as valid despite a prior verbal agreement between "detto Delfino e Cecilia di Beaux figlia del Conte Barallo di Beaux, ed indi Moglie d'Amedeo quarto Conte di Savoia", by judgment dated 10 Mar 1261[334]. The testament of "Agnetis dominæ Fuciniaci" dated 17 Oct 1262 appoints "Petrum de Sabaudia maritum suum…et Beatricem filiam suam uxorem Guigonis Dalphini Viennensis" as her heirs[335]. A second testament of "Agnetis dominæ Fuciniaci conjugis Petri de Sabaudia" dated 16 Nov 1262 elects her burial "in ecclesia Contaminæ", and appoints "Beatricem filiam suam uxorem Guigonis Dalphini, Vienn. et Albon. comitis" as her heir in one third of her property and her husband as heir in the other two thirds[336]. The testament of "Conte Pietro di Savoia", dated Sep 1264, appointed "filiam suam Beatricem uxorem Guigonis Dalphini" as his heir[337]. The testament of "Guigo Dalphinus, Vienn. et Albonis comitis", dated 27 Jun 1267, appointed "Johannem filium meum" as his heir, and made bequests to "Annam et Catharinam filias meas…Beatrix uxor mea"[338]. Regent during the minority of her son in Viennois in 1269. She married secondly (2 Apr 1273) as his second wife, Gaston VII Vicomte de Béarn. Her second marriage is proved by the agreement dated 15 Dec 1284 under which "Gastone Visconte di Bearn Signore di Montricher e Castelvecchio" and "Beatrice figlia del Conte Pietro di Savoia Dama di Faussign sua Consorte" reached agreement with "Umberto Signore di Thoire ed Anna Delfina sua Consorte" concering Comte Gaston's claim to the county of Vienne[339]. She transferred her possessions to her grandson Jean de La Tour 23 Sep 1282, her lands between Seyssel and Freiburg to her cousin Amédée Comte de Savoie, and the barony of Faucigny 29 Apr 1294 to her son-in-law Humbert de La Tour for the benefit of one of his sons reserving herself the usufruct.

E. DAUPHINS de VIENNOIS (LA TOUR-du-PIN)

Rulership of the Viennois passed by marriage to the family of la Tour du Pin. The dauphins de Viennois extended their territories to the south-east with the acquisition, by marriage, of the counties of Gap and Embrun. Humbert [II] Dauphin de Viennois abdicated 16 Jul 1349 in favour of Philippe VI King of France, to whom he sold the Dauphiné for 400,000 écus and an annual pension. The king’s grandson, the future Charles V King of France, was invested as Dauphin de Viennois 16 Jul 1349 and was thereafter called "Monsieur le Dauphin". The tradition whereby the title was borne by the eldest son of the French king was started when King Charles VI granted the title “Dauphin de Viennois” to his son, the future King Charles VII, soon after his birth in 1368.

HUMBERT [I] Seigneur de la Tour-du-Pin, son of ALBERT [III] Seigneur de la Tour-du-Pin & his wife Béatrix de Coligny ([1240]-monastère du Val-Sainte-Marie 12 Apr 1307, bur Val-Sainte-Marie).

The 1285 treaty between Comte Humbert and Robert Duke of Burgundy, relating to the future succession of Humbert’s son, refers to the "delphinatum Vienne et Albonis"[353], from which time the title "Dauphin de Viennois" can be assumed to have existed. Amédée V Comte de Savoie, after defeating the Dauphin de Viennois at Bellecombe, obliged both the Dauphin and the Comte de Genève to become his vassals under the Treaty of Annemasse 1287/88[354].

The dispute was settled by Philippe IV King of France in favour of Anne and her husband. At first she ruled jointly with her husband, but transferred all her rights to him in 1286.

Favyn names “Marie femme du Dauphin de Viennois Prince de Maiorque”[427]. The name “Marie” suggests that he is referring to Hugues. Guichenon records the same citation without explaining the Mallorca reference[428]. No other reference has been found to the connection between Hugues and Mallorca. Tomeu Servera suggests that it could be explained by an earlier marriage of Hugues to one of the daughters of Jaime II King of Mallorca[429].

Jean’s father is not named in the document but it is difficult to see who else he could have been besides Hugues de la Tour Baron de Faucigny. It is possible that "Humberto de Fucigniaco" was another relation, maybe the son of Jean. His parentage is confirmed in his marriage contract quoted below. m (contract 24 May 1338) MARGUERITE de Cizerin, daughter of HUGUES de Cizerin & his wife Françoise ---. The marriage contract betweeen “Jean de Faucigny fils naturel de feu Hugues Dauphin seigneur de Faucigny” and “Marguerite fille de Hugues de Cizerin l’ancien et de Françoise son épouse” is dated 24 May 1338[439]. “.

8. HENRI (1296-after 17 Mar 1328). The Aymari Rivalli De Allobrogibus names "Joanni, Hugoni, Guigoni sive Guidoni, et Henrico" as the sons of "Humbertum Coliniacum et Turrem Pineam" and his wife Anne, adding that Henri was elected to "pontificatum Metensem"[460].

Chapter 2. ALAMANDI/ALLEMAN

The Alamandi/Alleman family was based in the Dauphiné, their main territory being Valbonnais in the present-day French département of Isère, arrondissement Grenoble, canton Matheysine-Trièves, about 30 kilometres south of Grenoble and the same distance north of Gap. Lemonde summarises the family’s main properties in the early 13th century as (1) Valbonnais; (2) Uriage, east of Grenoble; (3) Séchilienne and Champ-sur-Drac, between the other two properties[470]. The Valbonnais line of the Alamandi family inherited part of the seigneurie d’Aubonne in the canton of Vaud, Switzerland in the early 14th century. Lemonde notes that the seigneurie de Valbonnais was confiscated in 1375 “par application du droit de mainmorte par le procureur fiscal delphinal”[471]. Some secondary sources indicate that the family was descended from Rodolphe de Faucigny "Alamandi/l'Allemand" (died [1178/80]), son of Rodolphe Seigneur de Faucigny (see the document BURGUNDY KINGDOM-GENEVOIS). Quicherat says that this supposed ancestry was invented in the end-16th century: “tous les arbres généalogiques dressés pour les Allemans à la fin du 16e siècle commencent par les noms de Josselin de Châteauneuf et de Raoul de Faucigny”[472]. The family was also studied by Boisgelin in 1900[473]. He notes that “Guy Allard” recorded 20 different family branches, and comments that they “formaient une fédération puissante, d’où est venu le dicton Dauphinois: gare la queue des Alleman”, this union indicated by an assembly of 25 family members 1 May 1455 at the episcopal palace in Grenoble (where Siboud Alleman was bishop) where they resolved all to adopt the arms of the Valbonnais branch[474]. Unfortunately, Boisgelin’s reconstructions of the early generations of the family and of the Valbonnais/Champ branch bear little relationship with the primary sources which are cited below. On the other hand, his reconstructions of the Séchilienne and Uriage/Revel branches appear to reflect the source material, although his suggestions for how those branches were descended from the Valbonnais/Champ family have not been incorporated into the present document.

The name of the family presents a problem as it appears in numerous spelling variations in primary source documentation. It has been decided to call them “Alamandi” until the late 14th century and “Alleman” thereafter. This decision is arbitrary and no doubt alternative solutions could be found which are equally valid.

The reconstruction of this family is incomplete. In particular, sources have not been found which confirm how the branches set out in parts B-E below were connected to the main Valbonnais/Champ family shown in Part A. There are also missing generations in the Valbonnais/Champ family between the mid-14th and early 15th centuries. In addition, several unconnected family members are shown at the end of Part A.

A. SEIGNEURS de VALBONNAIS, SEIGNEURS de CHAMP

1. GUILLAUME Alamandi . A charter dated to after 1141 records that “Garin Girberti” sold property to the monks of Bonnevaux, noting that “si Guillaume Alamanni ou un autre cohéritier” raised difficulties, the dispute would be submitted to the archbishop of Vienne and to “Ponce de Roussillon et à son frère Artaud”[475].

1. EUDES [Odon] [I] Alamandi (-after 1209). "Guigo Alamandi et Odo Alamandi pater huius..." witnessed the charter dated 1209 under which Beatrix Duchess of Burgundy granted privileges to Grenoble Saint-Robert[476]. The unusual name order, the father appearing after the son, suggests that the former had renounced his property rights in favour of the latter. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Eudes’s wife has not been identified. Eudes/Odon [I] & his wife had [two] children:

a) GUIGUES [I] Alamandi (-[Dec 1245/1250]). "Guigo Alamandi et Odo Alamandi pater huius..." witnessed the charter dated 1209 under which Beatrix Duchess of Burgundy granted privileges to Grenoble Saint-Robert[477]. [“Guigues de Briançon et son fils Aimeric (Eym-c)” acknowledged holding “les châteaux de la Terrasse et de Gières (Geria)” in fief from André Dauphin, noting that “l’héritage d’Odon de Brainçon, homme lige du comte de Savoie, étant dévolu à son frère Aimeric” the latter was authorised to remain in possession for life, at the request of “Didier et Aymar de Sassenage, de Guigues et Odon Aleman”, on condition that “son fils fera hommage lige au Dauphin”, by charter dated 30 Jan 1231 (O.S.)[478]. It is unclear whether this document refers to Guigues [I] Alamandi Seigneur de Champ and his son Eudes/Odon [III]: the chronology of the latter’s children suggests that this might not be the case. Another possibility is that the document relates to Eudes [Odon] [II], father of Guigues Alamandi Seigneur d’Uriage, and his father (see below, Seigneurs d’Uriage).] The testament of “Guigues Allemand chevalier”, dated Dec 1245, chose burial “en l’église de St. Michel-de-Connexe”, divided his property into two parts “château Ratier...ses possessions au Graisivaudan...l’autre château Perier...ses possessions à l’orient...” bequeathed to “son fils aîné Odon choisira entre les deux et son fils cadet Guigues aura l’autre”, bequeathed property to “ses filles Bérengère et Alix...Béatrix et Philippe...sa femme [unnamed]...Allemande sa fille naturelle...”, appointing as substitute heirs “ses neveux F. de Sassenage et Gautier de Briançon“[479]. Seigneur de Champ: he is named as deceased, and as “seigneur de Champ”, in the 31 Mar 1262 charter of his daughter Philippa, quoted below[480]. m firstly ---. The chronology of the children of Guigues [I] suggests that his older children (maybe all the children named in his Dec 145 testament) were born from an earlier marriage: given the likely birth-date of his known wife Marguerite, the chronology appears stretched for her to have been their mother. This suggestion appears corroborated by the 5 Mar 1250 (O.S.) charter quoted below which does not specify that “Odon Alamanni” (presumably the oldest son of Guigues [I]) was Marguerite’s son. If this suggestion is correct, no indication has been found of the identity of Guigues’s first wife. m secondly (before 23 Jul 1242) as her first husband, MARGUERITE de Beauvoir, daughter of SIBOUD [IV] Seigneur de Beauvoir & his wife Sibylle [de la Tour] ([1215/25?]-[Mar 1274?], bur Bonnevaux [transferred to Lyon Dominicans?]). The testament of “Siboud seigneur de Beauvoir[-de-Marc]”, dated 23 Jul 1242, bequeathed property to “son fils Drodon...ses autres fils Siboud et Hugues...[ses filles] M. femme de Guigues Alamant et A. femme de Guillaume Chabue”[481]. The testament of “Guigues Allemand chevalier”, dated Dec 1245, bequeathed property to “...sa femme [unnamed]...”[482]. She married secondly (before 5 Mar 1251) Jacelme [Jacelin/Joscelin?] Seigneur de Grolée. “Marguerite veuve de Guigues Alamanni et son mari Jacelme de Grolée” acknowledged to “Odon Alamanni et le dauphin G[uigues]” having received money “de Guigues de Tullins...pour dot de Marguerite” by charter dated 5 Mar 1250 (O.S.)[483]. Guichenon says that Marguerite was recorded in 1265 as the widow of “Josselin Seigneur de Grolée” and that her testament is dated Mar 1272 [neither of these documents found][484]. “Raymond prieur des Dominicains de Lyon” summonsed Bonnevaux convent for having buried in their cemetery “Marguerite de Beauvoir veuve de Jacelin seigneur de Grolée”, who had chosen burial in the Dominican church, by charter dated after 10 Mar 1273 (O.S.)[485]. A charter dated 28 Sep 1276 records the bishop of Albi deciding “en faveur des Dominicains de Lyon contre l’abbaye de Bonnevaux” concerning “[le] corps de Marguerite de Beauvoir veuve de Jacelin de Grolée”[486]. Guigues [I] & his [first] wife had seven children (the chronology suggests that the youngest child may have been born from a different marriage from his older siblings, who were all named in their father’s Dec 1245 testament):

i) EUDES [Odon] [III] Alamandi ([1225/30]?)-[8 Jul 1292/23 Jun 1293]). [“Guigues de Briançon et son fils Aimeric (Eym-c)” acknowledged holding “les châteaux de la Terrasse et de Gières (Geria)” in fief from André Dauphin, noting that “l’héritage d’Odon de Brainçon, homme lige du comte de Savoie, étant dévolu à son frère Aimeric” the latter was authorised to remain in possession for life, at the request of “Didier et Aymar de Sassenage, de Guigues et Odon Aleman”, on condition that “son fils fera hommage lige au Dauphin”, by charter dated 30 Jan 1231 (O.S.)[487]. It is unclear whether this document refers to Guigues [I] Alamandi Seigneur de Champ and his son Eudes/Odon [III]: the chronology of the latter’s children suggests that this might not be the case. Another possibility is that the document relates to Eudes [Odon] [II], father of Guigues Alamandi Seigneur d’Uriage, and his father (see below, Seigneurs d’Uriage).] The testament of “Guigues Allemand chevalier”, dated Dec 1245, divided his property into two parts “château Ratier...ses possessions au Graisivaudan...l’autre château Perier...ses possessions à l’orient...” bequeathed to “son fils aîné Odon choisira entre les deux et son fils cadet Guigues aura l’autre”[488].

- see below.

ii) GUIGUES Alamandi . The testament of “Guigues Allemand chevalier”, dated Dec 1245, divided his property into two parts bequeathed to “son fils aîné Odon choisira entre les deux et son fils cadet Guigues aura l’autre”[489].

iii) BERENGERE Alamandi . The testament of “Guigues Allemand chevalier”, dated Dec 1245, bequeathed property to “ses filles Bérengère et Alix...Béatrix et Philippe...sa femme [unnamed]...Allemande sa fille naturelle...”[490].

iv) ALIX Alamandi . The testament of “Guigues Allemand chevalier”, dated Dec 1245, bequeathed property to “ses filles Bérengère et Alix...Béatrix et Philippe...sa femme [unnamed]...Allemande sa fille naturelle...”[491].

v) BEATRIX Alamandi (-after 13 Jan 1289). The testament of “Guigues Allemand chevalier”, dated Dec 1245, bequeathed property to “ses filles Bérengère et Alix...Béatrix et Philippe...sa femme [unnamed]...Allemande sa fille naturelle...”[492]. “Odon Alleman seigneur de Champ” received acknowledgment from “Béatrix sa sœur veuve de Richard de la Chambre” of receipt of payments relating to her dowry “à Siévox, au Périer et dans la vallée du Valbonnais” by charter dated 13 Jan 1289[493]. m RICHARD de la Chambre, son of --- (-before 13 Jan 1289).

vi) PHILIPPA Alamandi (-after 31 Mar 1262). The testament of “Guigues Allemand chevalier”, dated Dec 1245, bequeathed property to “ses filles Bérengère et Alix...Béatrix et Philippe...sa femme [unnamed]...Allemande sa fille naturelle...”[494]. “Philippa fille de feu G. Alleman seigneur de Champ” sold her rights in the succession of “son père et de son frère François” to “son frère Odon Alleman seigneur de Champ” by charter dated 31 Mar 1262[495].

Guigues [I] & his [second] wife had [one child]:

vii) [FRANÇOIS Alamandi ([after Dec 1245?]-before 31 Mar 1262). “Philippa fille de feu G. Alleman seigneur de Champ” sold her rights in the succession of “son père et de son frère François” to “son frère Odon Alleman seigneur de Champ” by charter dated 31 Mar 1262[496]. The absence of François from his father’s Dec 1245 testament suggests that he was born after that date (and therefore was the son of his father’s second wife) or that he died before that date. The latter possibility appears less likely considering that his succession was still mentioned in his sister’s 31 Mar 1262 charter, more than 15 years later.]

Guigues had one illegitimate child by an unknown mistress:

viii) ALLEMANDE Alamandi . The testament of “Guigues Allemand chevalier”, dated Dec 1245, bequeathed property to “ses filles Bérengère et Alix...Béatrix et Philippe...sa femme [unnamed]...Allemande sa fille naturelle...”[497].

b) [AUJARDE [Alamandi?] (-4 Oct [after 1260]). The Dec 1245 testament quoted below under her son François suggests that his mother was the sister of Guigues Alamandi, a suggestion which also reflects the typical Alamandi name Odon given to the couple’s second son. The testament of “Aujarde femme de Didier de Sassenage”, dated 21 May 1244, requested burial “dans le cimitière de l’abbaye des Ayes”, and appointed “ses deux fils François et Odon” as executors[498]. A charter dated mid-Aug 1259 records that “Aujarde widow of Seigneur Didier de Sassenage” sold possesion in the Valbonnais to “Albert de Sassenage”[499]. [It is possible that the following document relates to her, misnamed: a charter dated 1260 acknowledged rights of “Alexis veuve de Didier seigneur de Sassenage” in certain property[500].] The necrology of Saint-Robert records the death “IV Non Oct” of “domina Aviarda de Cassanatico” and her donation[501]. m DIDIER [III] de Sassenage, son of --- (-before Aug 1259).]

EUDES [Odon] [III] Alamandi, son of GUIGUES [I] Alamandi Seigneur de Champ & his [first] wife --- ([1225/30?]-[8 Jul 1292/23 Jun 1293]). [“Guigues de Briançon et son fils Aimeric (Eym-c)” acknowledged holding “les châteaux de la Terrasse et de Gières (Geria)” in fief from André Dauphin, noting that “l’héritage d’Odon de Brainçon, homme lige du comte de Savoie, étant dévolu à son frère Aimeric” the latter was authorised to remain in possession for life, at the request of “Didier et Aymar de Sassenage, de Guigues et Odon Aleman”, on condition that “son fils fera hommage lige au Dauphin”, by charter dated 30 Jan 1231 (O.S.)[502]. It is unclear whether this document refers to Guigues Alamandi and his son Eudes, but the chronology suggests that this might be the case. Another possibility is that the document relates to Eudes [Odon] [II], father of Guigues Alamandi Seigneur d’Uriage, and his father (see below, Seigneurs d’Uriage).] The testament of “Guigues Allemand chevalier”, dated Dec 1245, divided his property into two parts “château Ratier...ses possessions au Graisivaudan...l’autre château Perier...ses possessions à l’orient...” bequeathed to “son fils aîné Odon choisira entre les deux et son fils cadet Guigues aura l’autre”[503]. Seigneur de Champ: "Ugo de Grangiis" acknowledged holding property "in Calma de Vivo..." from "D. Odone Alamandi domino castri de Campis" by charter dated to [1240/50][504]. “Marguerite veuve de Guigues Alamanni et son mari Jacelme de Grolée” acknowledged having received money “de Guigues de Tullins...pour dot de Marguerite” to “Odon Alamanni et le dauphin G[uigues]” by charter dated 5 Mar 1250 (O.S.)[505]. “Philippa fille de feu G. Alleman seigneur de Champ” sold her rights in the succession of “son père et de son frère François” to “son frère Odon Alleman seigneur de Champ” by charter dated 31 Mar 1262[506]. A charter dated 23 Oct 1279 established that “Pierre de Morges et son fils Fromond Berengarii” held “[le] château de Thoranne...” from the bishop of Die, in the presence of “...Odon Alamandi seigneur de Champ...”[507]. “Béatrix de Gex, veuve de Gilet Alleman” returned property granted on her marriage to “Gilet par led. Odon” to “Odon Alleman seigneur de Champ, père dud. Gilet” by charter dated 20 Feb 1281 (O.S.)[508]. The testament of "Odo Alamandi dominus de Campis", dated 5 Jul 1292, requested burial "in cimiterio ecclesiæ Vallis Bonesii", made bequests to "uxori meæ Sibillæ de Aquis dominæ de Sancta Galla...Giletum Alamandi priorem de Mura, Odonem Alamandi priorem de Podio, Petrum Alamandi priorem de Comeriis, Berlionem Alamandi canonicum Beatæ Mariæ Gratianopolis, Johannem Alamandi juniorem monachum sancti Theofredi...filios meos...Marguaritam filiam meam et uxorem D.

He was named as deceased in his widow’s 23 Jun 1293 charter cited below.

m firstly ([before 1250?]) BERENGERE, daughter of ---. Her marriage is confirmed by the following document: [her daughter] “Marguerite fille d’Odon Allemand seigneur de Champ” renounced her rights of succession “de son père et de Bérengère sa mère” in favour of “Guy de Montluel chevalier” if their marriage proceeded under their marriage contract, by charter dated 6 Jan 1267 (O.S.)[510]. Her marriage date is estimated on the assumption that her daughter Marguerite was about 15 years old at the time of her marriage contract. If that is correct, Bérengère was probably her husband’s first wife.

m secondly CATHERINE, daughter of ---. The primary source which confirms the parentage of Eudes’s second wife has not been identified, although this marriage is confirmed by his 5 Jul 1292 testament which bequeathed property to "...Raynaudum Alamandi nepotem meum [...apud Cognetum...pro dote quondam Catarinæ uxoris meæ in tota Matacena]...”[511]. Chorier names “Catherine sa fille...son heritiere”, referring to Lambert Bérenger son of Raymond Bérenger [III] de Royans, and records her marriage in 1238 to “Eudes Alleman Seigneur de Sainte Jalle”[512]. The date is too early for Eudes [III]’s first wife to have been the daughter of Lambert Bérenger, considering that the birth of his older brother is dated to [1225/35], and in any case must be incorrect bearing in mind Eudes’s first marriage. In any case, the Alamandi family only acquired part of Sainte-Jalle with Eudes [III]’s third marriage. Until more information comes to light, it is assumed that Chorier is incorrect.

m thirdly (after 30 Dec 1286) SIBYLLE d’Aix, daughter of PIERRE ISOARD Seigneur d’Aix & his wife Saure de Mévouillon ([1255/60?]-after 4 May 1331). The primary source which confirms her parentage has not been identified. Her family origin is indicated and her marriage confirmed by the following document: the testament of "Odo Alamandi dominus de Campis", dated 5 Jul 1292, made bequests to "uxori meæ Sibillæ de Aquis dominæ de Sancta Galla...”[513]. A charter dated 3 Feb 1297 records the emancipation of "Humberto Dalphino Vienn. et Albon. comite dominoque de Turre…Hugone eius filio" and the grant to him of "castrum Montis-Bonoudi" held in fee by "Gileti Alamandi filii quondam Odonis Alamandi et filii Sibillæ d’Ays uxoris quondam dict. Odonis"[514]. Dame de Sainte-Jalle. “Jean des Granges, fils de Jean la Balme” acknowledged holding “le fief des Granges“ from “Sibille d’Aix veuve d’Odon Alleman, agissant comme tutrice de son fils Gilet Alleman” by charter dated 23 Jun 1293[515]. A charter dated 20 and 24 Aug 1320 records an agreement between “Sibylle d’Aix dame en partie de Ste-Jalle et son fils noble Gilet Alleman” and “Jean de Sahune (Ancezune) coseigneur de Ste-Jalle” concerning the location of fairs at Sainte-Jalle[516]. A charter dated 1 Aug 1321 records the arbitral decision concerning a dispute between “Sibylle d’Aix et son fils Gilet Alleman” and “Jean de Sahune (Ancezune)” concerning the rights over “la seigneurie de Ste-Jalle”[517]. A charter dated 4 May 1331 records an agreement between “Sibylle d’Aix veuve du seigneur de Ste-Jalle et Gillet Allemand son fils” and “Jean de Sahune” concerning “la dot de Saure fille de Sibylle et épouse de Jean”[518].

Eudes/Odon [III] & his first wife had one child:

1. MARGUERITE Alamandi ([1252/55?]-after 15 Feb 1320, bur Hautecombe). “Marguerite fille d’Odon Allemand seigneur de Champ” renounced her rights of succession “de son père et de Bérengère sa mère” in favour of “Guy de Montluel chevalier” if their marriage proceeds as provided in their marriage contract, by charter dated 6 Jan 1267 (O.S.)[519]. Her marriage date suggests that Marguerite was one of her father’s older children. The testament of "Odo Alamandi dominus de Campis", dated 5 Jul 1292, made bequests to "...Marguaritam filiam meam et uxorem D. Guidonis de Montelupello et Philippam filiam meam relictam Amedæi domini de ---...Alisiam et Caterinam filias meas moniales Beatæ Mariæ de Aquis..."[520]. The testament of “Marguerite dame de Chasteaufort en Choutagne”, dated 15 Feb 1320, chose burial “à Hautecombe avec son feu mari Guy de Montluel chevalier seigneur de Chastillon en Choutagne”, bequeathed property to “Jehan de Luyrieu son neveu fils de sa fille...son frère Peronet sgr de Luyrieu...Edouard son neveu fils de sa fille Agnès...Marguerite sa nièce sœur desd. Peronet et Jehan...Agnès sa nièce sœur de lad. Marguerite...Vulliod de Luyrieu”, named her executors “Amé Ponczard, de Saissel, auquel elle remet tous ses biens pour Edouard sond. neveu et héritier et après lui Jehan de Luyrieu susdit”[521]. m (contract [6 Jan 1268]) [as his second wife?,] GUY de Montluel Seigneur de Châtillon, son of PIERRE [I] Seigneur de Montluel & his wife --- (-after 5 Jul 1292, bur Hautecombe).

Eudes/Odon [III] & his second wife had [twelve] children (the reference in Guy’s father’s 5 Jul 1292 testament to Guy’s son Raynaud in connection with the testator’s second wife Catherine suggests that she was the mother of Guy and therefore of all his younger brothers):

2. GUY Alamandi (-before 20 Feb 1282). His parentage is confirmed by the charters in which his wife is named. His date of death is confirmed by the 20 Feb 1281 (O.S.) charter quoted below. m (before 4 Feb 1278) BEATRIX de Joinville, daughter of SIMON de Joinville Seigneur de Gex & his wife Léonète de Gex (-after 5 Jul 1292). "Léonète dame de Gex et des fils Pierre et Guillaume" acknowledged the debt to "Béatrix comtesse de Viennois et d’Albon" for the dowry of "leur fille et sœur Béatrix de Gex mariée à Gui fils d’Odon Alamand", approved by "Marguerite femme de Pierre de Gex"[522]. “Béatrix de Gex, veuve de Gilet Alleman” returned property granted on her marriage to “Gilet par led. Odon” to “Odon Alleman seigneur de Champ, père dud. Gilet” by charter dated 20 Feb 1281 (O.S.)[523]. "Bietriz de Jaz femme covenarieres Gilet Alamant" ratified the conditions of her marriage contract between "Guillaume de Jaz" and "Odon Alamant seigneur de Chans" by charter dated 6 Aug 1290[524]. She is named in the 5 Jul 1292 testament of her father-in-law. Guy & his wife had two children:

a) RAYNAUD Alamandi ([1278/82]-[before 5 Dec 1332]). Seigneur de Champ: the testament of "Odo Alamandi dominus de Campis", dated 5 Jul 1292, made bequests to "...Raynaudum Alamandi nepotem meum [...in castra...de Campis et de Sancto Georgio...quod ipse Raynaudus solvat Beatrici de Jaz matri suæ...apud Cognetum...pro dote quondam Catarinæ uxoris meæ in tota Matacena]...Annetam nepotem meam et sororem ipsius Raynaudi"[525]. As discussed below, it is possible that “Raymond Alamandi”, shown below as the possible son of Eudes/Odon [III], was the same person as Raynaud. Assuming that the two sons named below are indeed Raynaud’s children, he died before the date of the 5 Dec 1332 in which the older son is named Seigneur de Champ. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Raynaud’s wife has not been identified. Raynaud & his wife had [two children]:

i) [GUILLAUME Alamandi (-before 10 Jan 1348).

Guillaume et Guigues”[581]. “Guigues Alemand seigneur de Valbonnais et de Claix” gave receipt for money paid by “Jean Berrier fils de Guigues” which became due after the death of “son père Guigues et de ses frères Jean et Guillaume Alemand seigneurs de Valbonnais et de Claix“ by charter dated 15 Jul 1337[582].

i) AMEDEE Alamandi (-after 2 Jan 1344). The 17 Jan 1334 (O.S.) charter quoted below indicates that Amédée was the brother of Guillaume Alamandi Seigneur de Valbonnais, assuming that “oncle” was used in its strict sense of uncle. Prior of Grenoble Saint-Laurent. “Amédée Allemand prieur de St-Laurent de Grenoble, gouverneur des enfants de feu Guillaume Allemand son neveu” paid money on their behalf to “Jean de Montbel fils de Boniface de Montbel seigneur de Feruscati” by charter dated 23 Oct 1334[583]. “Hugonin Alamandi seigneur de Valbonnais” appointed a proxy, with the consent of “son oncle Amédée Alamandi prieur de St-Laurent de Grenoble”, to acquire rights “sur la ville...de Mureils” by charter dated 17 Jan 1334 (O.S.)[584].

Alamandi, jadis à Jean Alamandi prévôt de Saint-André son oncle”[599].

10. [RAYMOND Alamandi (-after 2 Apr 1307). The 15 Dec 1305 charter quoted below, and his inheritance of Champ, suggests that Raymond might have been the son of Eudes/Odon [III] Alamandi. However, doubt remains as he is not named in the 5 Jul 1292 testament of his supposed father. If this suggested parentage is correct, Raymond would probably have been born from his father’s first marriage. Another possibility is that “Raymond” indicates “Raynaud Alamandi” (see above) who received property at Champ in the 5 Jul 1292 testament of his paternal grandfather: the 5 Jul 1292 document is the only one yet found which names him “Raynaud”, although if this second suggestion is correct the 2 Apr 1307 charter incorrectly records Raymond’s ancestry. One solution which partially explains this conundrum appears to be that “Raynaud” died soon after his grandfather’s testament and that Champ was reallocated to Raymond. Seigneur de Champ. “Reymond Allemand fils d’Odon, fils lui-même de Guigues seigneur de Champ” swore homage to “Guigues Allemand seigneur de Valbonnais” for “le château de Champ” by charter dated 15 Dec 1305[600]. A charter dated 2 Apr 1307 records an alliance between “Guigues Allemand seigneur de Valbonnais, François sr. de Sassenage, Raymond Allemand sr. de Champ, Pierre Béranger sr. de Morges, François Allemand sr. d’Uriage, Siboud Allemand sr. de Ruel, Jacquemet Allemand frère dudit François, Jean Allemand sr. de Séchilienne [Céchillanne], Pierre Allemand son frère, Rostaing de Montorcier sr de Pellafol, Pierre Allemand prieur de Notre-Dame de Commiers, et Jean Allemand prieur de St-Michel d’Exome [de Connexe]”[601].]

11. PHILIPPA Alamandi (-after 5 Jul 1292). Pope Nicolas IV issued a dispensation for the marriage of “Guillaume de Seyssel (Saissello) dit d’Aix (de Aquis)” and “Philippa [fille] d’Odon Alamandi” despite their 4^o consanguinity, specifying that “Amédée, mari de Philippa était parent de Guillaume”, dated to 7 May 1290[602]. The following document, in which her supposed second husband is not named, suggests that Philippa’s second marriage did not proceed: the testament of "Odo Alamandi dominus de Campis", dated 5 Jul 1292, made bequests to "...Philippam filiam meam relictam Amedæi domini de ---..."[603]. No document has yet been found which identifies Philippa’s [first] husband more precisely. m [firstly] AMEDEE Seigneur de ---, son of --- (-before 1290). [Betrothed (Papal dispensation 7 May 1290) to GUILLAUME de Seyssel d’Aix, son of HUMBERT [III] de Seyssel Seigneur d’Aix & his wife --- (-after 1313, bur Aix Notre-Dame).]

12. ALIX Alamandi . Nun at Aix Notre-Dame. The testament of "Odo Alamandi dominus de Campis", dated 5 Jul 1292, made bequests to "...Marguaritam filiam meam et uxorem D. Guidonis de Montelupello et Philippam filiam meam relictam Amedæi domini de ---...Alisiam et Caterinam filias meas moniales Beatæ Mariæ de Aquis..."[604].

13. CATHERINE Alamandi . Nun at Aix Notre-Dame. The testament of "Odo Alamandi dominus de Campis", dated 5 Jul 1292, made bequests to "...Marguaritam filiam meam et uxorem D. Guidonis de Montelupello et Philippam filiam meam relictam Amedæi domini de ---...Alisiam et Caterinam filias meas moniales Beatæ Mariæ de Aquis..."[605].

Eudes/Odon [III] & his third wife had two children:

14. GILLES Alamandi ([1278/82?]-[9 Feb 1334/3 Nov 1336], bur Sainte-Jalle). The testament of "Odo Alamandi dominus de Campis", dated 5 Jul 1292, made bequests to "...Giletum filium meum [...castrum...de Prato-Buxo salvo usufructu...Sibillæs uxori meæ...et mater ipsius Gileti]...Sauretæ filiæ meæ et sorori dict. Gileti..."[606]. The following document shows that Gilles was a minor at the time: “Jean des Granges, fils de Jean la Balme” acknowledged holding “le fief des Granges“ from “Sibille d’Aix veuve d’Odon Alleman, agissant comme tutrice de son fils Gilet Alleman” by charter dated 23 Jun 1293[607]. A charter dated 3 Feb 1297 records the emancipation of "Humberto Dalphino Vienn. et Albon. comite dominoque de Turre…Hugone eius filio" and the grant to him of "castrum Montis-Bonoudi" held in fee by "Gileti Alamandi filii quondam Odonis Alamandi et filii Sibillæ d’Ays uxoris quondam dict. Odonis"[608]. A charter dated 20 and 24 Aug 1320 records an agreement between “Sibylle d’Aix dame en partie de Ste-Jalle et son fils noble Gilet Alleman” and “Jean de Sahune (Ancezune) coseigneur de Ste-Jalle” concerning the location of fairs at Sainte-Jalle[609]. A charter dated 1 Aug 1321 records the arbitral decision concerning a dispute between “Sibylle d’Aix et son fils Gilet Alleman” and “Jean de Sahune (Ancezune)” concerning the rights over “la seigneurie de Ste-Jalle”[610]. A charter dated 4 May 1331 records an agreement between “Sibylle d’Aix veuve du seigneur de Ste-Jalle et Gillet Allemand son fils” and “Jean de Sahune” concerning “la dot de Saure fille de Sibylle et épouse de Jean”[611]. A charter dated 9 Feb 1334 records an arbitration between “Gillet Allemand et Jean de Sahune coseigneur de Ste-Jalle”, the latter swearing homage to the former “pour sa portion de sa terre de Ste-Jalle et celui-ci au baron de Mévouillon comme arrière-fief”[612]. Gilles presumably died before 3 Nov 1336, the date of the charter quoted below in which his son Eudes/Odon is named as seigneur de Sainte-Jalle. His place of burial is confirmed by the 12 Oct 1344 testament of his wife, quoted below. m STEPHANIE Aybraude, daughter of --- (-after 12 Oct 1344). The testament of “Stéphanie Aybraude veuve de Gilet Allemand coseigneur majeur de Ste-Jalle”, dated 12 Oct 1344, chose burial “dans l’église paroissiale de Ste-Jalle au tombeau de son mari et de son fils Janet”, bequeathed property to “sa tante Tiburge de Clermont religieuse” and named “son fils Odon Allemand seigneur de Ste-Jalle” as her universal heir, with “sa nièce Vauria femme de Guillaume Arnaud seigneur de Montpezat” as substitute[613]. Gilles & his wife had two children:

a) EUDES [Odon] Alamandi (-[2 Jul 1346/17 Mar 1349]). “Jean de Sahune” acknowledged receipt of “la dot de sa femme Saure, fille de Sibylle d’Aix et sœur de Gilet” from “Odon Allemand fils de Gilet Allemand” by charter dated 4 May 1331[614]. Seigneur de Sainte-Jalle. A charter dated 3 Nov 1336 granted a “prorogation de terme pour hommage à Odon Alamandi seigneur de Ste-Jalle”[615]. “Odon Allemand coseigneur majeur du château de Ste-Jalle fils de Gilet Allemand” confirmed the freedoms granted to his predecessors “aux hommes de Ste-Jalle” by charter dated 14 May 1338[616]. The testament of “Stéphanie Aybraude veuve de Gilet Allemand coseigneur majeur de Ste-Jalle”, dated 12 Oct 1344, named “son fils Odon Allemand seigneur de Ste-Jalle” as her universal heir, with “sa nièce Vauria femme de Guillaume Arnaud seigneur de Montpezat” as substitute[617]. “Noble Odon Alleman fils de feu Gilet Alleman seigneur de Ste-Jalle” sold “des châteaux et mandements de Ste-Jalle et de Rochebrune” to “Hugonin Alleman seigneur de Valbonnais genologia Alamandorum” by charter dated 2 Jul 1346[618]. A charter dated 17 Mar 1349 records that, “Odon Allemand seigneur de Ste-Jalle et de Rochebrune étant mort sans enfants”, Dauphin Humbert “donne mainlevée des châteaux de Ste-Jalle et Rochebrune” to “son cousin Hugues Allemand seigneur de Valbonnais” by charter dated 17 Mar 1349[619]. m (contract [Oct 1307] [1337?]]) CATHERINE Bérenger, daughter of BERTRAND Bérenger Seigneur de Feuillans et de Tréminis & his [first wife ---]. The marriage contract between “Odon Allemand sgr de Sainte-Jalle” and “Catherine fille de Bertrand Béranger sgr de Tréminis” is dated Oct 1307[620]. Considering her paternal great-grandfather’s 1259 marriage, this date is early for a marriage of his great-granddaughter. Presumably the document is misdated or her father’s named is mistranscribed. Her supposed husband would have succeeded his father as seigneur de Sainte-Jalle in [1334/36]. Maybe the date is an error for 1337.

b) JEAN Alamandi (-before 12 Oct 1344, bur Sainte-Jalle). “Jean Alamandi fils de Gilet Alamandi chevalier seigneur de Ste-Jalle” swore allegiance to Dauphin Humbert for “sa part de la moitié des châteaux...de Ste-Jalle et de Rochebrune” by charter dated 15 Jan 1334[621]. The testament of “Stéphanie Aybraude veuve de Gilet Allemand coseigneur majeur de Ste-Jalle”, dated 12 Oct 1344, chose burial “dans l’église paroissiale de Ste-Jalle au tombeau de son mari et de son fils Janet”[622].

15. SAURE Alamandi (-after 4 Oct 1336). The testament of "Odo Alamandi dominus de Campis", dated 5 Jul 1292, made bequests to "...Giletum filium meum [...castrum...de Prato-Buxo salvo usufructu...Sibillæs uxori meæ...et mater ipsius Gileti]...Sauretæ filiæ meæ et sorori dict. Gileti..."[623]. The marriage contract between “noble Jean seigneur de Asseduna [Sahune]” and “Saurette fille de feu Odon Alleman seigneur de Champ et de Sibylle d’Aix dame de Ste-Jalle”, specifying her dowry granted by “sa mère et par Gilet son frère”, is dated 15 Jan 1309 (O.S.)[624]. A charter dated 4 May 1331 records an agreement between “Sibylle d’Aix veuve du seigneur de Ste-Jalle et Gillet Allemand son fils” and “Jean de Sahune” concerning “la dot de Saure fille de Sibylle et épouse de Jean”[625]. “Saura épouse de Jean de Sahune” approved donations made by her husband, by charter dated 4 Oct 1336, on the same day that the couple received other properties from Dauphin Humbert[626]. m (contract 15 Jan 1310) JEAN Seigneur de Sahune, son of --- (-after 4 Oct 1336). A charter dated 20 and 24 Aug 1320 records an agreement between “Sibylle d’Aix dame en partie de Ste-Jalle et son fils noble Gilet Alleman” and “Jean de Sahune (Ancezune) coseigneur de Ste-Jalle” concerning the location of fairs at Sainte-Jalle[627]. A charter dated 9 Feb 1334 records an arbitration between “Gillet Allemand et Jean de Sahune coseigneur de Ste-Jalle”, the latter swearing homage to the former “pour sa portion de sa terre de Ste-Jalle et celui-ci au baron de Mévouillon comme arrière-fief”[628].

The primary source which confirms the parentage of Guigues Alleman has not been identified, but presumably he was the descendant of Raynaud Alamandi Seigneur de Champ (see above). Boisgelin claims to show his ancestry, but he cites few primary sources and his reconstruction is difficult to reconcile with the information shown above[629]. It has therefore not been copied into the present document.

1. GUIGUES Alleman (-before 20 Apr 1419). Seigneur de Champ. m GUICHARDE Alleman, daughter of HENRI Alleman Seigneur de Séchilienne & his second wife Briande de “Thesio” (-after 27 Jul 1420). The testament of “Henry Allemand sgr de Séchiline”, dated 30 Jul 1375, named as substitute heirs successively “Siboud Allemand sgr de Virieux, et Guicharde fille du dit testateur femme de messire Guigues Allemand sgr des Champs”, and named “les dits Siboud et Guigues et Lancelot Allemand tuteurs de ses enfants” and executors[630]. The testament of “Jean Allemand chev. sgr de Séchilline et d’Olle conseigneur de Laval-St-Etienne, fils de feu Henry Allemand chev.”, dated 20 Apr 1419, named successive substitute heirs, in one case “...reservé l’usufruit à D. Guicharde sa sœur femme de Guigues Allemand sgr des Champs...”[631]. “Jean Allemand chev. sgr de Séchilline”, by codicil dated 27 Jul 1420, made new bequests to “Henri Allemand son frère sgr d’Ollières...dame Guicharde sa sœur...Antoine Allemand son neveu...Aymonet Richard”[632].

The name of Guy’s wife is not known. Guy & his wife had one child:

i) AIMON Alleman (-after 1 Dec 1447). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been found but it appears likely that Aimon was the son and successor of Guy. Seigneur de Champ. “Siboud Allemand doyen de l’église de Grenoble et prieur de St.Donat, Antoine Allemand sgr de Saint-Georges, Aimond Allemand sgr des Champs, Henri Allemand cosgr du Val-St-Etienne, Boniface et Joffroy Allemand frères, fils de feu Jean Allemand sgr de Virieux” registered their agreement excluding female succession of their properties, dated 1 Dec 1447[634]. Boisgelin claims to show his descendants until the mid-16th century[635]. He cites few primary sources and his reconstruction, which does not inspire confidence, has not been copied into the present document.

b) ANTOINE Alleman (-after 1 Dec 1447). The testament of “Jean Allemand chev. sgr de Séchilline et d’Olle conseigneur de Laval-St-Etienne, fils de feu Henry Allemand chev.”, dated 20 Apr 1419, named as successive substitute heirs “...Guy Allemand chevalier sgr des Champs et Antoine Allemand son frère, fils de feu Guigon Allemand sgr des Champs...”[636]. “Jean Allemand chev. sgr de Séchilline”, by codicil dated 27 Jul 1420, made new bequests to “Henri Allemand son frère sgr d’Ollières...dame Guicharde sa sœur...Antoine Allemand son neveu...Aymonet Richard”[637].

Another possibility is that the document relates to Guigues [I] Seigneur de Champ and his son Eudes [Odon] [III] (see Part A), although the chronology of the latter’s children suggests that this is less likely.

1. EUDES [Odon] [II] Alamandi (-before 6 Feb 1260). He is named as deceased in the 6 Feb 1259 (O.S) charter of his sons. m ---. The name of Eudes’s wife has not been identified. Eudes/Odon [II] & his wife had two children:

The document which confirms that this person was the daughter of Guigues Alamandi Seigneur d’Uriarte has not been identified, but the chronology suggests that this co-identity might be correct. A charter dated 17 Sep 1313 names “dom. Berengarie Alamande relicte nobilis Guillelmi Aurucii, condomina castri Argenterie pro media parte”[814].

It is assumed that “Peron Alamant sr de Revel” [witness] and “son frère Peron Alamant” [recommending an executor] were the same person, suggested by “Odon Alamant seigneur de Champ” also being named in the document as executor and witness[820]. “Piron Alamant le bâtard” has not otherwise been identified, although it seems likely that he was an illegitimate brother of the testator. Pierre presumably died before 7 Mar 1291, the date of the charter of his supposed son cited below. m ---. The primary source whch confirms the name of Pierre’s wife has not been identified. The reference to “Revel” suggests a connection with the Virieu family, who held “Montrevel”: maybe Pierre’s wife was a Virieu. Pierre & his wife had [one child]:

i) [SIBOUD Alamandi (-[29 Jun 1309/15 Nov 1312]). The primary source which confirms that Siboud was Pierre’s son has not been identified. However, his succession to Revel, as well as the later succession of his son Jean to Uriage (previously held by Pierre’s brother as noted above), both suggest that this is likely.

The following persons presumably descended from Siboud Seigneur de Revel who is named above but the primary sources which confirm this descent have not been identified.

1. SIBOUD Alleman (-after 30 Jul 1375). Boisgelin indicates that Siboud was the same person as Siboud Seigneur de Revel who is named above[841]. Seigneur de Virieux [the similiarity between “Virieux” and “Uriage” suggests that they may have been the same place, especially as “Uriage” is referred to as “Urieux” in the 5 Apr 1393 charter cited above under Guigues]: the testament of “Henry Allemand sgr de Séchiline”, dated 30 Jul 1375, named as substitute heirs “Siboud Allemand sgr de Virieux, et Guicharde fille du dit testateur femme de messire Guigues Allemand sgr des Champs”, and named “les dits Siboud et Guigues et Lancelot Allemand tuteurs de ses enfants” and executors[842]. m ---.

Chapter 3. SEIGNEURS d’ANTHON

Anthon lies on the left bank of the river Rhône in the Dauphiné, about 20 kilometres east of Lyon and about 40 kilometres north-east of Vienne, in the present-day French département of Isère, arrondissement La Tour-du-Pin, canton Charvieu-Chavagneux. The family also held fiefdoms in the counties of Bresse, Forez and Savoy. Seigneurs d’Anthon are recorded in primary sources from the early 12th to the early 14th centuries, when the seigneurie was inherited by a younger branch of the comital family of Geneva (see the document BURGUNDY KINGDOM-GENEVOIS), and within a generation passed to the Saluzzo family of north-west Italy (see MONFERRATO, SALUZZO). Few books have been found which reliably study the first seigneurial family. The most complete work is the short article by Révérend du Mesnil in his La Valbonne étymologie et histoire, which does include references to primary source material (originals not all found) but appears to misrecord the first three generations of the family and confuses the three different persons named Isabelle d’Anthon who lived in the early 14th century. It is hoped that these discrepancies have been corrected in the following reconstruction, although its reliability will only be confirmed if further primary source material emerges.

1. GUICHARD [I] d’Anthon (-after 1120). Seigneur d’Anthon. Lateyssonière records that “le comte de Forez” granted “le bourg de Pérouges” to “Guichard I seigneur d’Anthon” by charter dated 1100[864]. Révérend du Mesnil records that Guichard d’Anthon witnessed the 1103 charter under which Guillaume II Comte de Bourgogne granted “la seigneurie de Cenves en Beaujolais” to Guichard de Beaujeu[865]. Lateyssonière records that Pope Calixtus II ordered a commission into trouble caused by “Guichard d’Anthon et Guy-l’Enchaîné” to the church of Mâcon relating to “le village de Montgoin” by bull dated [Jan/Feb] 1120[866].

2. GUICHARD [II] d’Anthon (-after 1147). Révérend du Mesnil amalgamates Guichard [I] d’Anthon and Guichard [II][867], which seems unlikely to be correct given the fifty year span which separates the former’s mention in 1100 and the latter’s in 1147. It appears safer to assume that there were two separate individuals, probably father and son. Seigneur d’Anthon. Chorier records that “Guichard Seigneur d’Anthon sur le Rhône” settled a dispute with Mâcon cathedral by charter dated 1146[868]. Lateyssonière records that “Guichard seigneur d’Anthon” donated property “dans le village de Montgoin” to Mâcon by charter dated 1147[869].

3. [GUICHARD [III] d’Anthon . Chorier records that “Guichard Seigneur d’Anthon sur le Rhône” [shown above as Guichard [II]] settled a dispute with Mâcon cathedral by charter dated 1146, and that “Guichard d’Anthon fils de celuy-ci”, living in 1202, donated property to “Chassagne dans la Bresse”[870]. Révérend du Mesnil also shows only two persons named Guichard between 1100 and 1202[871]. This chronology is barely credible. The existence of a “Guichard [III]” seems more likely, although no charter has been found which names him during the second half of the 13th century].

1. GUICHARD [IV] d’Anthon (-[1200/03]). Seigneur d’Anthon. “Dominus Vichardus de Anton” donated “domum de Tanaies...” to the Templars, with the support of “filiis eius Vichardo et Ugone”, by charter dated 1200[872]. Guichard [IV] was probably deceased at the time of his son’s 1203 donation shown below. m [--- de Coligny, daughter of GAUTHIER de Coligny Seigneur de Saint-André-sur-Suban & his wife ---. Her parentage and marriage are indicated by the charter dated 1218 under which Renaud [de Forez] Archbishop of Lyon confirmed that “Guichardus de Antono consanguineus meus...nepos Hugonis de Coloniaco” had confirmed exemption from tolls granted to the Chartreux of Portes by “domino Guichardo patre prædicti Guichardi consanguinei mei”[873]. This interpretation assumes that “nepos” in this document can be interpreted in the sense of nephew. Guichard [IV] & his wife had two children:

a) GUICHARD [V] d’Anthon (-after Sep 1238). “Dominus Vichardus de Anton” donated “domum de Tanaies...” to the Templars, with the support of “filiis eius Vichardo et Ugone”, by charter dated 1200[874]. Seigneur d’Anthon. The Chronicle of Chassagne abbey records that “Guichardus miles filius Guichardi militis d’Anton” donated rights of passage over his lands to Chassagne in 1203[875]. Renaud [de Forez] Archbishop of Lyon confirmed the settlement between “consanguineus noster nobilis vir Guichardus de Antonio” and Ainay concerning rights in “domui Sancti Mauricii...” by charter dated 1214[876]. Renaud [de Forez] Archbishop of Lyon confirmed that “Guichardus de Antono consanguineus meus...nepos Hugonis de Coloniaco” had confirmed exemption from tolls granted to the Chartreux of Portes by “domino Guichardo patre prædicti Guichardi consanguinei mei” by charter dated 1218[877]. “Guichardus dominus de Anton” donated his rights “in decima de Porroyges” ]Pérouges] to Cluny by charter dated 31 Mar 1236[878]. Révérend du Mesnil records his donation of property “à Pollet et à Gordans” to the Templars at Molissole by charter dated Sep 1238[879]. m --- (27 Aug 1274, bur Lyon Jacobins). The name of Guichard’s wife is not known. An epitaph at the Jacobin church in Lyon records the death 28 Sep 1256 of “dnus Guichardus de Anthone eiusque mater bone memorie dna de Anthone” who died 27 Aug 1274[880]. Guichard [V] & his wife had [two] children:

i) GUICHARD [VI] d’Anthon (-28 Sep [1256/61], bur Lyon Jacobins). Révérend du Mesnil records that Guichard accepted “la seigneurie de Loyettes” from Ambronay by charter dated 1259[881]. Seigneur d’Anthon.

- see below.

ii) [ULRIC d’Anton (-after 1253). Révérend du Mesnil records his parentage and grant of toll exemptions “aux chartreux de Seillon” by charter dated 1253[882]. It is not known whether this document confirms Ulric’s family relationship.]

b) HUGUES d’Anthon (-after 1200). “Dominus Vichardus de Anton” donated “domum de Tanaies...” to the Templars, with the support of “filiis eius Vichardo et Ugone”, by charter dated 1200[883].

GUICHARD [VI] d’Anthon, son of GUICHARD [V] Seigneur d’Anthon & his wife --- (-28 Sep [1256/61], bur Lyon Jacobins). Seigneur d’Anthon. Révérend du Mesnil records that Guichard accepted “la seigneurie de Loyettes” from Ambronay by charter dated 1259[884]. An epitaph at the Jacobin church in Lyon records the death 28 Sep 1256 of “dnus Guichardus de Anthone eiusque mater bone memorie dna de Anthone” who died 27 Aug 1274[885]. Either the 1259 charter or the epitaph was presumably misdated as the two documents are incompatible.

m JACQUETTE, daughter of --- (-20 May 1275, bur Lyon Jacobins). "Pierre et Guillaume de Roussillon damoiseaux fils d’Etienne de Roussillon chevalier" sold "la moitié du mas de Cymandres, au mandement de Chalamont" to "Jacquette (Jacobe) dame d’Anthon (Antone)" by charter dated Oct 1261, ratified by their brother Humbert de Roussillon by charter dated Dec 1261[886]. An epitaph at the Jacobin church in Lyon records the death 20 May 1275 of “dna Jacoba relicta dni Guichardi quondam dni de Anthone milite et dnus Ioannes filius predicte orbate et canonicus Lugdenensis et Viennensis” who died 25 Nov 1296[887].

Guichard [VI] & his wife had four children:

1. GUICHARD [VII] d’Anthon (-1306 or after). Seigneur d’Anthon, de Pérouges et de Loyettes. Seigneur de Gordans: Révérend du Mesnil records Thomas III Comte de Maurienne, Conte del Piemonte [Savoie] granted “la seigneurie de Gordans en fief” to Guichard by charter dated 1270[888], which was presumably soon after Guichard [VII] came of age. "Guichardus dominus de Antone" recorded that "Hugoninus Ruphi..." sold property "in parochiis de Sancto Mamete de Chalamont et de Sancto Martino de Chalamont" to “Omaro de Antone fratri nostro” by charter dated Aug 1277[889]. “Guichardus dominus de Anthone” acknowledged holding “villam Sancti Mauricii de Anthone...gardam de Neosco...villam de Charnaux...” from Amédée V Comte de Savoie by charter dated Oct 1285[890]. Louis Seigneur de Beaujeu and "Guichard d’Anthon" submitted a dispute to arbitration by charter dated May 1291[891], a charter dated 30 Jun 1291 recording a peace treaty between them under which the former renounced all claims against "Guichard seigneur d’Anthon...contre Jean et Aymard ses frères" in return for payment of compensation[892]. Révérend du Mesnil records his testament dated 1306 (document not found)[893]. [m firstly ---. Guichard’s naming two of his daughters “Isabelle” suggests that they may have had different mothers. Révérend du Mesnil says that Guichard [VII] married twice, firstly to “Prudentia”, who he says consented to his grant of toll exemptions to Saint-Sulpice en Bugey, and secondly to “Lyonette de Villars” (not traced in the Thoire/Villars family), adding that he died childless (which is disproved by the sources quoted below)[894]. He omits reference to Marguerite de Sainte-Croix, confirmed as Guichard’s wife as shown below.] m [secondly] MARGUERITE de Sainte-Croix, daughter of --- (-[after 2 Feb 1316?]). She is named as wife of Guichard and mother of Aimar and other children in the 2 Feb 1315 (O.S.) charter quoted below. The wording of the document suggests that Marguerite was alive at the time, although this is not beyond all doubt. Marguerite’s parentage has not been ascertained. The chronology of the Anthon family suggests that she may have been the daughter of Guillaume de Vienne Seigneur de Sainte-Croix and his second wife Agnes de Joigny. Guichard [VII] & his [first/second] wife had one child:

a) ISABELLE d’Anthon (-after 13 Jan 1323). Isabelle’s marriage date suggests that she was older than her known brother and sister. Possibly she was born from an earlier marriage of her father, which could also explain why he had two daughters named Isabelle. Dame de Pérouges, de Gorges et de Loyettes. “Hugonin (Hugues Gonin) de Genève, au nom de sa femme Isabelle, fille de Guichard seigneur d’Anthon” swore allegiance to Guigues Dauphin de Viennois for “le pont de Chéruy, la forteresse des Jehenis, le port de Chaneissieu, la maison de St-Romans” by charter dated 13 Jan 1323[895]. m ([1305]) as his first wife, HUGUES de Genève, son of AMEDEE [II] Comte de Genève & his wife Agnes de Chalon (20 Nov 1365). Seigneur d’Anthon et de Varey.

Guichard [VII] & his [second] wife had [five or more] children:

b) AIMAR [Aimaret] d’Anthon ([before 1285/90?]-[1325]). Seigneur d’Anthon. Valbonnais records that “Louis d’Anthon et ses freres en qualité d’héritiers de Guichard d’Anthon” exchanged property with Dauphin Jean by charter dated 2 Feb 1307 (O.S.?) “coram domino Anthonis”[896]. Aimar and Louis acting in their own names indicates that they had reached the age of majority, which in turn suggests their approximate birth dates. “...Aymaret d’Anthon...” was named as guarantor in the charter dated 17 Mar 1314 which recorded naming arbitrators in a dispute between “Aymar seigneur de Bressieux” and “Hugues seigneur de Viriville”[897]. Dauphin Jean granted “villas et parochias de Tignieu...” to “consanguineis nostris Ludovico domino Anthonis et aliis fratribus et sororibus suis, quos nobilis mulier Margarita de sancta Cruce suscepit a Guichardo quondam domino Anthonis marito suo” in exchange for “castro de Perogiis...” by charter dated 2 Feb 1315 (O.S.)[898]. Révérend du Mesnil records that Aimar died “vers 1325, laissant deux enfants”[899], although as noted below he has confused the brother of Guichard [VII] with the latter’s son. Presumably the date relates to Aimar junior, although the primary source which confirms that this is correct has not been identified. He is named as deceased in the 4 Sep 1343 testament quoted below. m ---. The name of Aimar’s wife is not known. Maybe she was related to the La Palu family, considering that Jean de la Palu was recorded as tutor of his children (see below). Aimar & his wife had [two children]:

i) --- d’Anthon (-[1325/29]). Révérend du Mesnil records that the unnamed son of Aimar (confusing the two persons named Aimar, as noted above) died “en bas âge” and that “Jean de la Palu son tuteur ainsi que de sa sœur Ysabelle” swore allegiance to Guichard [VII] Seigneur de Beaujeu for “Gordans...Mogneneins et pour la garde du Mont de Chalamont” (undated)[900]. No primary source has yet been found which confirms his name, although secondary sources indicate that he was called Louis. He presumably died soon after his father, and certainly before the 1329 allegiance given on behalf of his sister Isabelle (see below).

ii) ISABELLE d’Anthon (-[after 1315/17?]after 4 Sep 1343). Révérend du Mesnil records that “Madame Clémence de Vaux tutrice de...Ysabelle” [presumably a descendant of Isabelle’s paternal great-aunt Agnes, see below] reconfirmed that Isabelle “serait bonne et fidèle vassale de M. de Beaujeu...” by charter dated “le jeudi après la fête de sainte Madeleine” 1329[901]. This reference suggests Isabelle’s birth date, on the assumption that noble girls would reach the age of majority at ages 12 to 14. The primary source which confirms that Isabelle sold her succession rights has not been identified. The testament of “Ysabelle d’Anthon fille de Guichard seigneur d’Anthon, veuve de Guigues seigneur de Beauvoir”, dated 4 Sep 1343, named “sa nièce Ysabelle fille de feu Aymaret d’Anthon damoiseau” as her universal heir[902]. Her marriage is recorded by Guigue, who notes that her dowry was “la terre d’Illiat” (part of the fief granted to Guichard [VII] in Oct 1285, see above) which was sold 15 Feb 1374 by the couple’s son Guichard (no sources cited)[903]. m HENRI Seigneur de Montagny, son of ---.

c) LOUIS d’Anthon (-[before 1285/90?]-after 2 Feb 1308). Valbonnais records that “Louis d’Anthon et ses freres en qualité d’héritiers de Guichard d’Anthon” exchanged property with Dauphin Jean by charter dated 2 Feb 1307 (O.S.?) “coram domino Anthonis”[904]. Aimar and Louis acting in their own names indicates that they had reached the age of majority, which in turn suggests their approximate birth dates.

d) [one or more] other son(s) [and other daughters?] (-after 2 Feb 1316). The 2 Feb 1307 (O.S.?) charter cited above indicates that Guichard [VII] had three of more sons, while the 2 Feb 1315 (O.S.) charter refers to “aliis fratribus et sororibus” of Aimon. It is not known how many other brothers and sisters there may have been.

e) ISABELLE d’Anthon (-after 4 Sep 1343). Pope Benedict XI issued a dispensation for the marriage of “Guigues fils Dredo seigneur de Beauvoir” and “Isabelle fille de Guichard seigneur d’Anthon” despite their 4^o consanguinity, dated 3 Jan 1304[905]. “Guigues de Beauvoir” granted “le château d’Anthon” to “sa femme Isabeau d’Anthon” by charter dated 8 Aug 1315[906]. Humbert Dauphin de Viennois and “Isabelle d’Anthon veuve de Guigues seigneur de Beauvoir-de-Marc” reached agreement regarding her husband’s succession “et particulièrement du château de Beauvoir, qui est attribué au dauphin” by charter dated 22 Feb 1307 (O.S.?)[907]. This charter must be misdated in light of the 8 Aug 1315 charter cited above. The testament of “Guigues seigneur de Beauvoir fils de feu Drodon seigneur de Beauvoir”, dated 9 Dec 1333, acknowledged having received in full “la dot de sa femme Isabelle par son père feu Guichard seigneur d’Anthon” and named “...son épouse Ysabelle...” among his executors[908]. Dauphin Humbert and “Isabelle d’Anthon veuve de Guigues seigneur de Beauvoir-de-Marc” reached agreement concerning “[le] château de Beauvoir et la terre de Guigues, dont l’usufruit est accordé à Isabelle” by charter dated 22 Feb 1337[909]. The testament of “Ysabelle d’Anthon fille de Guichard seigneur d’Anthon, veuve de Guigues seigneur de Beauvoir”, dated 4 Sep 1343, chose burial “dans le cimetière de Bonnevaux”, bequeathed property to “Jeannette donnée d’Aymar d’Anthon chanoine de Lyon et à sa fille Alaysia” and named “sa nièce Ysabelle fille de feu Aymaret d’Anthon damoiseau” as her universal heir[910]. m (Papal dispensation 3 Jan 1304) GUIGUES Seigneur de Beauvoir, son of DRODON Seigneur de Beauvoir & his wife --- (-after 9 Dec 1333, bur Bonnevaux).

2. JEAN d’Anthon (-25 Nov 1296, bur Luon Jacobins). Louis Seigneur de Beaujeu and "Guichard d’Anthon" submitted a dispute to arbitration by charter dated May 1291[911], a charter dated 30 Jun 1291 recording a peace treaty between them under which the former renounced all claims against "Guichard seigneur d’Anthon...contre Jean et Aymard ses frères" in return for payment of compensation[912]. An epitaph at the Jacobin church in Lyon records the death 20 May 1275 of “dna Jacoba relicta dni Guichardi quondam dni de Anthone milite et dnus Ioannes filius predicte orbate et canonicus Lugdenensis et Viennensis” who died 25 Nov 1296[913].

3. AIMAR d’Anthon (-after 30 Jun 1291). "Guichardus dominus de Antone" recorded that "Hugoninus Ruphi..." sold property "in parochiis de Sancto Mamete de Chalamont et de Sancto Martino de Chalamont" to “Omaro de Antone fratri nostro” by charter dated Aug 1277[914]. Louis Seigneur de Beaujeu and "Guichard d’Anthon" submitted a dispute to arbitration by charter dated May 1291[915], a charter dated 30 Jun 1291 recording a peace treaty between them under which the former renounced all claims against "Guichard seigneur d’Anthon...contre Jean et Aymard ses frères" in return for payment of compensation[916]. According to Révérend du Mesnil, Aimar succeeded his brother and died “vers 1325, laissant deux enfants”[917], but this confuses the brother of Guichard [VII] with the latter’s son. The primary source which confirms when Aimar died has not been identified. same person as...? AIMAR d’Anthon (-after 25 Apr 1314) . Canon at Lyon. Dauphin Jean granted “la poype ou donjon de Chazey (Chaseto)” to “son cousin Aymar d’Anthon chanoine de Lyon” by charter dated 25 Apr 1314[918]. Aimar had one illegitimate child by an unknown mistress:

a) JEANNE d’Anthon (-after 4 Sep 1343). The testament of “Ysabelle d’Anthon fille de Guichard seigneur d’Anthon, veuve de Guigues seigneur de Beauvoir”, dated 4 Sep 1343, bequeathed property to “Jeannette donnée d’Aymar d’Anthon chanoine de Lyon et à sa fille Alaysia”[919]. The name of Jeanne’s husband has not been ascertained. m ---.

4. AGNES d’Anthon (-[3 Mar 1282], bur Lyon Jacobins). Révérend du Mesnil records her parentage (no source cited)[920]. An epitaph at the Jacobin church in Lyon records the burial of “dns Girinus de Vallibus miles et dna Agnes de Anthone uxor eius” who died 3 Mar 1282 (unclear whether this date refers to both spouses or only the latter) and “Hugoninus de Vallibus domicellus eorum filius”[921]. m GIRIN Seigneur de Vaux, son of --- (-[3 Mar 1282], bur Lyon Jacobins).

Chapter 4. SEIGNEURS de BEAUVOIR[de-MARC]

Beauvoir-sur-Marc is located in the present-day French département of Isère, arrondissement Vienne, canton Bièvre. Chorier’s Histoire de Dauphiné suggests that “les premiers seigneurs de Beauvoir aupres de Vienne” descended from “Berlion...frere [de] [au temps de Leger archevesque de Vienne, Hector...un des plus grands seigneurs du Viennois]”[922]. Presumably this relates to the family of the vicomtes de Vienne, shown elsewhere in the present document. Chorier records that “Guillaume seigneur de Beauvoir et de Septeme” in 1249 bore arms “écartelé, à une cottice brochant sur le tout” and in 1270 “un lion”, noting that “les marquis de Varambon en tirent l’origine de la leur et portent en effet escartelé d’or et de gueules”[923].

1. BORNON [I] de Beauvoir . He is named in the undated charter of his son Siboud, quoted below. No document has been found which names him in his own capacity. m ---. The name of Bornon’s wife is not known. Bornon & his wife had one child:

Chevalier dates this document to 1160[935]. “Drodo de Bellovidere” confirmed the donation made to Bonnevaux by “frater meus Sibodus in extremis suis”, recording the presence of “Petrus Rovoiria...et Burno et Symphredus fratres eius”, by charter dated 1160[936]. Elected Archbishop of Lyon: Gallia Christiana records the election of “Drogo ecclesiæ Lugdunensis primum archidiaconum” as archbishop, denounced by Louis VII King of France, dated to [1163][937]. “Drodo de Bellovidere Lugdunensis electus” donated “---villam---“ to Bonnevaux, with the support of “Willelmus...nepos meus”, noting that “Rostagnus de Bellovidere et fratres eius Ervisius et Borno, et item Rostagnus de Colungiis et frater eius Borno, Boso de Burnay et frater eius Drodo, Oolardus de Bellovidere et Ademarus de Bellovidere cognatus eius, et filii Isardi de Bellagarda” also held interests “in ipsa villa” which they also donated, by charter dated 1164[938]. “Drodo de Bellovidere Lugdunensis electus” exchanged property with Bonnevaux “pro utilitate nepotum meorum Willelmi et Drodonis“, with “Petrus Rovoria et Rostagnus de Colungiis” as guarantors, by charter dated 1164[939]. “Drodon élu de Lyon” donated property to Vienne Saint-Pierre, with the consent of “ses neveux Guillaume et Drodon”, by charter dated [12 Apr] 1164[940].

- see below.

Four siblings. Their precise relationship with Siboud [I] has not been ascertained. The later chronology suggests that they were his first cousins or nephews/niece. The 1164 and May 1179 charters quoted below name other persons who shared an interest in property donated to Bonnevaux, such interests presumably all derived from descent from the Beauvoir family probably through the female line. The precise relationships have not been traced.

1. ROSTAIN [I] de Beauvoir (-after 1164). A bull of Pope Calixtus II dated 7 Feb 1122 records donations to Bonnevaux, among which the donations made by “Sibonis militis de Bellovisu...et uxoris sue et filiorum et Rostandi Ervuini et Burnonis consanguineorum”[943]. “Dominus Sibo miles et mulier eius ac filii eorum et Rostandus et Ervuinus et Burno consanguinei eiusdem Sibonis” donated property to Bonnevaux, undated[944]. “Drodo de Bellovidere Lugdunensis electus” donated “---villam---“ to Bonnevaux, with the support of “Willelmus...nepos meus”, noting that “Rostagnus de Bellovidere et fratres eius Ervisius et Borno, et item Rostagnus de Colungiis et frater eius Borno, Boso de Burnay et frater eius Drodo, Oolardus de Bellovidere et Ademarus de Bellovidere cognatus eius, et filii Isardi de Bellagarda” also held interests “in ipsa villa” which they also donated, by charter dated 1164[945]. The following document shows that Rostain [I] predeceased his brother Hervé [I]: “Ervisius de Bellovidere” donated property to Bonnevaux, for the soul of “fratris sui Rostagni”, undated, witnessed by “Guigo Rufus, maritus sororis Ervisii...” and with the support of “uxor Guigonis Ruffi, soror Ervisii...”[946]. m ---. The name of Rostain’s wife is not known. Rostain [I] & his wife had [two children] (the order of names Hervé/Rostain in the undated document quoted below is reversed compared with the documents quoted above which name Rostain/Hervé in that order, suggesting that Hervé [II] and Rostain [II] were different persons from Rostain [I] and Hervé [I]. The naming of the two brothers Hervé [II] and Rostain [II] in the same document suggests that their father was deceased, which is consistent with the other undated charter quoted above which indicates that Rostain [I] predeceased his brother Hervé [I]. Nevertheless, presumably the brothers shown below could have been sons of either Rostain [I] or Burno [III]):

a) [HERVE [II] de Beauvoir (-after 1189). Hervé [II] is the second “Ervisius” named in the following entry: an undated document records that “Ervisius de Bellovisu” donated property to Bonnevaux and that “Sigibodus de Bello Visu et Ervisius et Rostagnus frater eius, cum uxore et filiis suis” also donated property they held in common[947]. “Ervisio de Bellovidere” donated his part “in bosco...dimidia, due partes Petri Rovoyrie et tertia W. de Bellovidere” by charter dated May 1179, with further donations made in 1181 and 1185, and in 1189 “iterum ipse et filii eius Rostagnus et Ervis”[948].] m ---. The name of Hervé’s wife is not known. Hervé [II] & his wife had two children:

i) ROSTAIN [III] de Beauvoir (-after 1189). “Ervisio de Bellovidere” donated his part “in bosco...dimidia, due partes Petri Rovoyrie et tertia W. de Bellovidere” by charter dated May 1179, with further donations made in 1181 and 1185, and in 1189 “iterum ipse et filii eius Rostagnus et Ervis”[949].

ii) HERVE [III] de Beauvoir (-after 1189). “Ervisio de Bellovidere” donated his part “in bosco...dimidia, due partes Petri Rovoyrie et tertia W. de Bellovidere” by charter dated May 1179, with further donations made in 1181 and 1185, and in 1189 “iterum ipse et filii eius Rostagnus et Ervis”[950].

b) [ROSTAIN [II] de Beauvoir . An undated document records that “Ervisius de Bellovisu” donated property to Bonnevaux and that “Sigibodus de Bello Visu et Ervisius et Rostagnus frater eius, cum uxore et filiis suis” also donated property they held in common[951].]

2. HERVE [I] de Beauvoir (-after 1164). A bull of Pope Calixtus II dated 7 Feb 1122 records donations to Bonnevaux, among which the donations made by “Sibonis militis de Bellovisu...et uxoris sue et filiorum et Rostandi Ervuini et Burnonis consanguineorum”[952]. “Dominus Sibo miles et mulier eius ac filii eorum et Rostandus et Ervuinus et Burno consanguinei eiusdem Sibonis” donated property to Bonnevaux, undated[953]. An undated document records that “Ervisius de Bellovisu” donated property to Bonnevaux and that “Sigibodus de Bello Visu et Ervisius et Rostagnus frater eius, cum uxore et filiis suis” also donated property which they held in common[954]. “Drodo de Bellovidere Lugdunensis electus” donated “---villam---“ to Bonnevaux, with the support of “Willelmus...nepos meus”, noting that “Rostagnus de Bellovidere et fratres eius Ervisius et Borno, et item Rostagnus de Colungiis et frater eius Borno, Boso de Burnay et frater eius Drodo, Oolardus de Bellovidere et Ademarus de Bellovidere cognatus eius, et filii Isardi de Bellagarda” also held interests “in ipsa villa” which they also donated, by charter dated 1164[955]. m ---. The name of Hervé’s wife is not known. Assuming, as suggested below, that “suis” in the undated document quoted below refers to the donor, his wife was mentioned but not named in that document. Hervé [I] & his wife had children:

a) [two or more] children . An undated document records that “Ervisius de Bellovisu” donated property to Bonnevaux and that “Sigibodus de Bello Visu et Ervisius et Rostagnus frater eius, cum uxore et filiis suis” also donated property which they held in common[956]. The word “suis” suggests that “uxore et filiis” relate to the donor.

3. BORNON [III] de Beauvoir (-after 1164). A bull of Pope Calixtus II dated 7 Feb 1122 records donations to Bonnevaux, among which the donations made by “Sibonis militis de Bellovisu...et uxoris sue et filiorum et Rostandi Ervuini et Burnonis consanguineorum”[957]. “Dominus Sibo miles et mulier eius ac filii eorum et Rostandus et Ervuinus et Burno consanguinei eiusdem Sibonis” donated property to Bonnevaux, undated[958]. “Drodo de Bellovidere Lugdunensis electus” donated “---villam---“ to Bonnevaux, with the support of “Willelmus...nepos meus”, noting that “Rostagnus de Bellovidere et fratres eius Ervisius et Borno, et item Rostagnus de Colungiis et frater eius Borno, Boso de Burnay et frater eius Drodo, Oolardus de Bellovidere et Ademarus de Bellovidere cognatus eius, et filii Isardi de Bellagarda” also held interests “in ipsa villa” which they also donated, by charter dated 1164[959].

4. --- de Beauvoir . Her family connection and marriage is confirmed by the following document: “Ervisius de Bellovidere” donated property to Bonnevaux, for the soul of “fratris sui Rostagni”, undated, witnessed by “Guigo Rufus, maritus sororis Ervisii...” and with the support of “uxor Guigonis Ruffi, soror Ervisii...”[960]. As noted above, the absence of a date means that this document could presumably relate either to Hervé [I] or Hervé [II]. The question may be resolved if other references to Guigues Rufus emerge which clarify the chronology of his life. m GUIGUES Rufus, son of ---.

No connection has been found between the following group and the main Beauvoir family. Maybe they were inhabitants of the town of Beauvoir-de-Marc who were unrelated.

1. --- de Beauvoir . m SAURA, daughter of ---. “Sora de Bellovisu quedam matrona cum filiis suis Guigone et Soffredo” sold property to Bonnevaux by undated charter, witnessed by “Sigilboudus de Bellovisu, Hugo de Vernia Gauterius Mascherellus”[961]. Two children:

In 1191 “quo dominus W. de Bellovidere VII Id Apr vitam finivit”, donations to Bonnevaux were made “IV Kal Mai” by “filii eius Syboudus et Willelmus et ipsorum patruus Drodo de Bellovidere et Maria mater ipsius et predicti W”, for the soul of the deceased, and “post paucos...dies...VI Non Mai” all the said donors “scilicet Syboudus et W. fratres, et Clemencia mater eorum, Drodo de Bellovidere et mater eius Maria” confirmed the donations[978]. “Drodo de Bellovidere” witnessed the charter dated 1191 under which “Petrus Rovorie...” donated property to Bonnevaux on leaving “ad expugnandos Albigenses hereticos” and the charter dated 1195 when the same donor “venit ad conversionem in Bonavalle” and made further donations[979].

3. --- de Beauvoir . The [28 May 1189] charter quoted below indicates that the following two children, Guillaume [IV] and Drodon [III], were nephews of Drodon [II]. Their father was presumably Dodon’s brother: as noted below, maybe he was Siboud [III]. It is unlikely that Guillaume [IV] was the same person as Guillaume [III], son of Guillaume [II] (see above). The latter is named only two years later with his older brother Siboud [IV] in a charter which does not name a brother named Drodon, while later documents (see below) show that Siboud [IV] survived for many years. m ---. Two children:

a) GUILLAUME [IV] de Beauvoir (-after [1189]). “Drodon de Beauvoir au moment de passer les mers” confirmed donations made to Bonnevaux by “son père Siboud, de ses frères et de lui-même”, ordering “ses neveux Guillaume et Drodon de l’imiter”, by charter dated [28 May 1189][980]. “Petri de Altafay” donated property to Bonnevaux, with the consent of “Willelmus Isardi nepos ipsius Petri”, subscribed by “domini Drodonis et Willelmi nepotis sui”, witnessed by “...Petrus d’Altafay et Petrus Humberti, qui duo cum domino Drodone Jersusalem erant ituri”, undated[981]. Chevalier dates this document to [1189][982]. same person as...? GUILLAUME [V] de Beauvoir (-after 1203). “Willelmus de Bello Videre...” witnessed the charter dated Jul 1197 which records an attestation made by Falcon Bishop of Valence[983]. “Dalphinus Vienn. et Albonis comes et Beatrix Ducissa” confirmed that “Albertum de Turre et Willelmum de Bellovisu” had reached agreement “super castrum de Spinet”, agreeing not to transfer without consent “partem aliquam in castro de Spinet” to “Siboudo de Bellovisu”, by charter dated 1203[984].

b) DRODON [III] de Beauvoir (-after [1189]). “Amedeus de Monte Canuto [Montchenu]...Aena mater eius...Nantelmus frater eius et Guigo Espartuns avunculus eius” renounced claims over “bosco, quem dederat eis Sibodus junior de Bellovidere”, undated[985]. Chevalier dates this charter to 1160[986]. “Drodon de Beauvoir au moment de passer les mers” confirmed donations made to Bonnevaux by “son père Siboud, de ses frères et de lui-même”, ordering “ses neveux Guillaume et Drodon de l’imiter”, by charter dated [28 May 1189][987].

4. one or more other sons . Their existence is confirmed by the [28 May 1189] charter quoted above.

5. [SIBOUD [III] de Beauvoir (-[after 1160]). “Amedeus de Monte Canuto [Montchenu]...Aena mater eius...Nantelmus frater eius et Guigo Espartuns avunculus eius” renounced claims over “bosco, quem dederat eis Sibodus junior de Bellovidere”, undated[988]. Chevalier dates this charter to 1160[989]. Chevalier dates this charter to 1160[990]. The phrase “Sibodus junior” suggests that a “Sibodus senior” was still living at the time, maybe his father. Maybe Siboud [III] was the same person as the father of Guillaume [IV] and Drodon [III] (see above).]

The parentage of the following person has not been ascertained. One possibility is that he was Drodon [II] who married late in life in the hope of producing an heir. Another is that he was Drodon [III], although in that case it is unclear why a younger son of a younger son would have made such a locally prominent marriage.

1. DRODON de Beauvoir (-[1205/07?]). He is named as the first husband of Alasie de la Tour in her Mar 1249 testament, quoted below. His suggested date of death is estimated from his wife’s possible birth date and her second marriage dated to [1207/09?]. m as her first husband, ALASIE de la Tour, daughter of ALBERT [II] de la Tour du Pin & his wife Marie d'Auvergne ([1185/93?]-after Mar 1249, bur abbaye de Bonnevaux). She married secondly Raimbaud Bérenger de Royans "Ossassica" Seigneur de Royans. The testament of “Flote [dame de Royans]”, dated Dec 1231, appointed “sa mère Alays” as universal heir, naming “Adhemarius de Poitiers son fils, qu’elle avait eu de Guillaume de Poitiers son mari” as substitute[991]. Under her testament dated Mar 1249, "Alays de Roians, domina castri Sancti Johannis de Bornay, uxor quondam nobilis viri dom Ose Sicce" elected burial "apud…monasterium Bone Vallis", donated property for the anniversary of “nobilis viri quondam domi Drodoni de Bello Visu primi mariti mei”, bequeathed property to "Dom^e Sibille uxori nobilis viri domⁱ Audemari de Pictavia, nepotis mei…nobilem dom^am Flotam filiam meam…Ugone nepoti meo de Turre, senescalco Lugdunensi" and also names "fratre meo dom^e Alberto de Turre"[992].

GUILLAUME [II] de Beauvoir, son of SIBOUD [II] Seigneur de Beauvoir & his wife Marie --- (-7 Apr 1191). “Drodo de Bellovidere Lugdunensis electus” donated “---villam---“ to Bonnevaux, with the support of “Willelmus...nepos meus”, by charter dated 1164[993]. “Drodo de Bellovidere Lugdunensis electus” exchanged property with Bonnevaux “pro utilitate nepotum meorum Willelmi et Drodonis“, with “Petrus Rovoria et Rostagnus de Colungiis” as guarantors, by charter dated 1164[994]. “Drodon élu de Lyon” donated property to Vienne Saint-Pierre, with the consent of “ses neveux Guillaume et Drodon”, by charter dated [12 Apr] 1164[995]. “Ervisio de Bellovidere” donated his part “in bosco...dimidia, due partes Petri Rovoyrie et tertia W. de Bellovidere” by charter dated May 1179, with further donations made in 1181 and 1185, and in 1189 “iterum ipse et filii eius Rostagnus et Ervis”[996]. Seigneur de Beauvoir[-de-Marc]. “Guillaume seigneur de Beauvoir [-de-Marc] en Viennois” donated revenue “aux frères Marnans” by charter dated 1180[997]. In 1191 “quo dominus W. de Bellovidere VII Id Apr vitam finivit”, donations to Bonnevaux were made “IV Kal Mai” by “filii eius Syboudus et Willelmus et ipsorum patruus Drodo de Bellovidere et Maria mater ipsius et predicti W”, for the soul of the deceased, and “post paucos...dies...VI Non Mai” all the said donors “scilicet Syboudus et W. fratres, et Clemencia mater eorum, Drodo de Bellovidere et mater eius Maria” confirmed the donations, all with the support of “W. Rovoyri et Gaufredus frater eius, cognati eorum”[998]. The necrology of Lyon records the death "VII Id Apr" of "Vuilelmus de Bello Videre miles"[999].

m CLEMENCE, daughter of ---. In 1191 “quo dominus W. de Bellovidere VII Id Apr vitam finivit”, donations to Bonnevaux were made “IV Kal Mai” by “filii eius Syboudus et Willelmus et ipsorum patruus Drodo de Bellovidere et Maria mater ipsius et predicti W”, for the soul of the deceased, and “post paucos...dies...VI Non Mai” all the said donors “scilicet Syboudus et W. fratres, et Clemencia mater eorum, Drodo de Bellovidere et mater eius Maria” confirmed the donations[1000].

Guillaume [II] & his wife had three children:

1. SIBOUD [IV] de Beauvoir (-after 5 Nov 1246). In 1191 “quo dominus W. de Bellovidere VII Id Apr vitam finivit”, donations to Bonnevaux were made “IV Kal Mai” by “filii eius Syboudus et Willelmus et ipsorum patruus Drodo de Bellovidere et Maria mater ipsius et predicti W”, for the soul of the deceased, and “post paucos...dies...VI Non Mai” all the said donors “scilicet Syboudus et W. fratres, et Clemencia mater eorum, Drodo de Bellovidere et mater eius Maria” confirmed the donations[1001]. Seigneur de Beauvoir[-de-Marc]. “Siboud de Beauvoir” acknowledged “sa mistralie de Vienne” as the fief of Jean Archbishop of Vienne in return for a loan, promising the ratification of “son fils Guillaume” failing which he would be a hostage at Vienne, and named “son frère Guillaume de Beauvoir et Siboud Revoiri” as guarantors, by charter dated 16 Sep 1232[1002]. “Sibondus de Bellouidere” transferred “castrum de Bellouidere...mistraliam Viennæ, et quod capiebam in pedagio S. Simphoriani” to “Willelmo filio meo” by charter dated 27 Mar 1233, sealed by “dominus Guido Lugdunensis electus, dominus Albertus de Turre, Willelmus de Bellouidere frater meus, et Drodo frater meus canonicus Viennensis”[1003]. “Guillaume de Beauvoir” granted “tous ses droits sur la moitié du château de Pinet” to “Siboud de Beauvoir son frère et à son fils Guillaume” by charter dated 12 Apr 1236[1004]. The testament of “Siboud seigneur de Beauvoir[-de-Marc]”, dated 23 Jul 1242, appointed as his universal heir “son fils Guillaume”, bequeathed property to “son fils Drodon...ses autres fils Siboud et Hugues...[ses filles] M. femme de Guigues Alamant et A. femme de Guillaume Chabue”, and ordered the restoration of her dowry to “son épouse S., à la décision de Guy archidiacre de Lyon et de son frère A[lbert] seigneur de la Tour”[1005]. Guichenon dates this document to 10 Aug 1242 (without quoting any text)[1006]. An arbitral sentence dated 5 Nov 1246 settled a dispute between “Siboud seigneur de Beauvoir[-de-Marc] et son fils Guillaume” and Saint-André-le-Bas de Vienne regarding jurisdictional rights[1007]. m SIBYLLE [de la Tour, daughter of ALBERT [II] de la Tour du Pin & his wife Marie d'Auvergne] ([before 1200]-after 23 Jul 1242). Her parentage is indicated and her marriage confirmed by the 23 Jul 1242 testament of her husband document: the testament of “Siboud seigneur de Beauvoir[-de-Marc]”, dated 23 Jul 1242, appointed as his universal heir “son fils Guillaume”, bequeathed property to “son fils Drodon...ses autres fils Siboud et Hugues...[ses filles] M. femme de Guigues Alamant et A. femme de Guillaume Chabue”, and ordered the restoration of her dowry to “son épouse S., à la décision de Guy archidiacre de Lyon et de son frère A[lbert] seigneur de la Tour”[1008]. Guichenon dates this document to 10 Aug 1242 (without quoting any text)[1009]. The relationship between the testator’s wife and the two brothers tasked with deciding the modalities of her dowry’s return is not explicit in this document extract (“son” in the phrase “son frère” could presumably apply to either “A[lbert]” or to “S.” or to both of them). Similar testatory provisions relating to dowry/dower in other testaments can be shown to confer decision-making roles on the wife/widow’s closest senior male relatives. In this particular case, the chronology suggests that Guy and Albert were probably brothers of “S”. If they had been her first cousins (paternal or maternal), it is unclear why the la Tour brothers would have been selected as her representatives instead of other closer family members. It is interesting to note that the names of the testator’s children were not those associated with the immediate family of Albert [II] Seigneur de la Tour (with the possible exception of “A”, which could have been the same as his daughter “Alasie”). At first sight, this might indicate that Sibylle was a later wife of the testator and not the mother of his children. However, the 4 Dec 1277 testament of her husband’s son Guillaume de Beauvoir names Humbert [I] Seigneur de la Tour-du-Pin “consanguineus meus”, a relationship which is most easily explained if Guillaume’s mother was Humbert’s paternal aunt as suggested here. Her family origin is also indicated by the following document: [her grandson] “Drodonet seigneur de Beauvoir-de-Marc, fils de Guillaume sr dud. lieu” granted “[le] château...de St-Jean-de-Bournay” to “son cousin Hugues de la Tour sénéchal de Lyon” by charter dated 1 Apr 1278[1010]. The primary source which confirms her full name has not been identified. Her having four adult sons (their having attained the age of majority being indicated by the absence of arrangements for their guardianship) and two married daughters in 1242, suggests that Sibylle must have been born before 1200. Siboud [IV] & his wife had six children:

a) GUILLAUME [IV] de Beauvoir (-before 4 Dec 1277). “Siboud de Beauvoir” acknowledged “sa mistralie de Vienne” as the fief of Jean Archbishop of Vienne in return for a loan, promising the ratification of “son fils Guillaume” failing which he would be a hostage at Vienne, and named “son frère Guillaume de Beauvoir et Siboud Revoiri” as guarantors, by charter dated 16 Sep 1232[1011]. Seigneur de Beauvoir[-de-Marc].

- see below.

b) DRODON de Beauvoir (-[before 4 Dec 1277]). The testament of “Siboud seigneur de Beauvoir[-de-Marc]”, dated 23 Jul 1242, bequeathed property to “son fils Drodon...ses autres fils Siboud et Hugues...[ses filles] M. femme de Guigues Alamant et A. femme de Guillaume Chabue”[1012]. The testament of “D. Guillelmi quondam domini de Bello-visu”, dated 4 Dec 1277, requested all his debts and those of “Siboudi patris mei quondam, Drodonis fratris et Drodonis avunculi mei” be paid[1013]. The request to pay their debts suggests that all three persons named were deceased, although this is stated only in the case of the testator’s father.

c) SIBOUD de Beauvoir . The testament of “Siboud seigneur de Beauvoir[-de-Marc]”, dated 23 Jul 1242, bequeathed property to “son fils Drodon...ses autres fils Siboud et Hugues...[ses filles] M. femme de Guigues Alamant et A. femme de Guillaume Chabue”[1014].

d) HUGUES de Beauvoir . The testament of “Siboud seigneur de Beauvoir[-de-Marc]”, dated 23 Jul 1242, bequeathed property to “son fils Drodon...ses autres fils Siboud et Hugues...[ses filles] M. femme de Guigues Alamant et A. femme de Guillaume Chabue”[1015].

e) MARGUERITE de Beauvoir ([1215/25?]-[Mar 1274?], bur Bonnevaux [transferred to Lyon Dominicans?]). The testament of “Siboud seigneur de Beauvoir[-de-Marc]”, dated 23 Jul 1242, bequeathed property to “...[ses filles] M. femme de Guigues Alamant et A. femme de Guillaume Chabue”[1016]. “Marguerite veuve de Guigues Alamanni et son mari Jacelme de Grolée” acknowledged to “Odon Alamanni et le dauphin G[uigues]” having received money “de Guigues de Tullins...pour dot de Marguerite” by charter dated 5 Mar 1250 (O.S.)[1017]. Guichenon says that Marguerite was recorded in 1265 as the widow of “Josselin Seigneur de Grolée” and that her testament is dated Mar 1272 [neither of these documents found][1018]. “Raymond prieur des Dominicains de Lyon” summonsed Bonnevaux convent for having buried in their cemetery “Marguerite de Beauvoir veuve de Jacelin seigneur de Grolée”, who had chosen burial in the Dominican church, by charter dated after 10 Mar 1273 (O.S.)[1019]. A charter dated 28 Sep 1276 records the bishop of Albi deciding “en faveur des Dominicains de Lyon contre l’abbaye de Bonnevaux” concerning “[le] corps de Marguerite de Beauvoir veuve de Jacelin de Grolée”[1020]. m firstly (before 23 Jul 1242) as his second wife, GUIGUES [I] Alamandi Seigneur de Champ, son of EUDES [Odon] [I] Alamandi & his wife --- (-[Dec 1245/1250]). m secondly (before 5 Mar 1251) [as his second wife?] JACELME [Jacelin/Joscelin?] Seigneur de Grolée, son of --- (-1265 or before).

f) A--- de Beauvoir . The testament of “Siboud seigneur de Beauvoir[-de-Marc]”, dated 23 Jul 1242, bequeathed property to “son fils Drodon...ses autres fils Siboud et Hugues...[ses filles] M. femme de Guigues Alamant et A. femme de Guillaume Chabue”[1021]. m (before 23 Jul 1242) GUILLAUME Chabue, son of ---. same person as...? AUDISIA de Beauvoir (-after 4 Dec 1277). The testament of “D. Guillelmi quondam domini de Bello-visu”, dated 4 Dec 1277, bequeathed property to “Siboudo filio meo...Robertum filium meum volo fieri templarium...Audisiæ sorori meæ...”[1022].

2. GUILLAUME [III] de Beauvoir (-[11 Jul 1239/1250]). In 1191 “quo dominus W. de Bellovidere VII Id Apr vitam finivit”, donations to Bonnevaux were made “IV Kal Mai” by “filii eius Syboudus et Willelmus et ipsorum patruus Drodo de Bellovidere et Maria mater ipsius et predicti W”, for the soul of the deceased, and “post paucos...dies...VI Non Mai” all the said donors “scilicet Syboudus et W. fratres, et Clemencia mater eorum, Drodo de Bellovidere et mater eius Maria” confirmed the donations[1023]. “Siboud de Beauvoir” acknowledged “sa mistralie de Vienne” as the fief of Jean Archbishop of Vienne in return for a loan, promising the ratification of “son fils Guillaume” failing which he would be a hostage at Vienne, and named “son frère Guillaume de Beauvoir et Siboud Revoiri” as guarantors, by charter dated 16 Sep 1232[1024]. “Sibondus de Bellouidere” transferred “castrum de Bellouidere...mistraliam Viennæ, et quod capiebam in pedagio S. Simphoriani” to “Willelmo filio meo” by charter dated 27 Mar 1233, sealed by “dominus Guido Lugdunensis electus, dominus Albertus de Turre, Willelmus de Bellouidere frater meus, et Drodo frater meus canonicus Viennensis”[1025]. “Guillaume de Beauvoir” granted “tous ses droits sur la moitié du château de Pinet” to “Siboud de Beauvoir son frère et à son fils Guillaume” by charter dated 12 Apr 1236[1026]. “Guillaume de Beauvoir” mortgaged “le château de Septême” to Beatrix Ctss de Vienne et d’Albon as security for a loan, confirmed by “son fils Guillaume de Falavier”, by charter dated 11 Jul 1239[1027]. m ---. The name of Guillaume’s wife is not known. Guillaume [III] & his wife had one child:

a) GUILLAUME de Beauvoir (-[30 Aug 1250/20 Jul 1266]). Seigneur de Falavier: "Willelmus de Bellovisu pater" granted property "apud Falaver" to “Willelmo de Bellovisu filio suo”, naming “Dom. Albertus de Turre” as guarantor, by charter dated 11 Jan 1234 (O.S.?)[1028]. “Guillaume de Beauvoir” mortgaged “le château de Septême” to Beatrix Ctss de Vienne et d’Albon as security for a loan, confirmed by “son fils Guillaume de Falavier”, by charter dated 11 Jul 1239[1029]. “Willelmus de Bello Visu dominus de Falaver” donated property “in villa de Chaceu” to Guy Archdeacon of Lyon by charter dated May 1241[1030]. “Guillaume de Beauvoir damoiseau fils de feu Guillaume”, having repurchased “le château de Falavier (Ffalaverio)” from the seigneurs de la Tour, transferred it to Pierre de Savoie, with the consent of “sa femme Briande”, by charter dated 1250, and acknowledged holding the same castle in fief from Pierre by charter dated 30 Aug 1250[1031]. m (before 1249) BRIANDE, daughter of --- (-after 20 Jul 1266). “Briande veuve de Guillaume de Beauvoir damoiseau” ceded property to Philippe de Savoie as guarantee for her dower at “St-Symphorien d’Ozon” assigned to her in 1249, by charter dated 20 Jul 1266[1032].

3. DRODON [IV] de Beauvoir (-14/15 May after 27 Mar 1233). Drodon was presumably a young child when his father died as he is not named in the 1191 charter quoted above which names his older brothers. Canon at Lyon: a charter dated 1209 records the division of revenues between the canons at Lyon, naming "Drodoni de Bello Videre anniversarium Guichardi, archiepiscopi", and a similar document dated May 1220 names "Drodoni de Belveir..."[1033]. The reason for the link between Drodon [IV] and Guichard Archbishop of Lyon (the successor of Drodon [I], paternal great uncle of Drodon [III], see above) has not been ascertained. Canon at Vienne: “Sibondus de Bellouidere” transferred “castrum de Bellouidere...mistraliam Viennæ, et quod capiebam in pedagio S. Simphoriani” to “Willelmo filio meo” by charter dated 27 Mar 1233, sealed by “dominus Guido Lugdunensis electus, dominus Albertus de Turre, Willelmus de Bellouidere frater meus, et Drodo frater meus canonicus Viennensis”[1034]. The necrology of Lyon records the death "II Id Mai" of "Drodo de Bellovidere subdiaconus, cantor Viennensis et canonicus Lugdunensis" and his donation to the church of Saint-Etienne[1035]. Necrologies record the death 14/15 May of “Drodon levita et chanoine” and his donation of a serf to Vienne Saint-Maurice[1036]. The testament of “D. Guillelmi quondam domini de Bello-visu”, dated 4 Dec 1277, requested all his debts and those of “Siboudi patris mei quondam, Drodonis fratris et Drodonis avunculi mei” be paid[1037]. The request to pay their debts suggests that all three persons named were deceased, although this is stated only in the case of the testator’s father.

GUILLAUME [IV] de Beauvoir, son of SIBAUD [IV] Seigneur de Beauvoir & his wife Sibylle [de la Tour] (-before 4 Dec 1277). “Siboud de Beauvoir” acknowledged “sa mistralie de Vienne” as the fief of Jean Archbishop of Vienne in return for a loan, promising the ratification of “son fils Guillaume” failing which he would be a hostage at Vienne, and named “son frère Guillaume de Beauvoir et Siboud Revoiri” as guarantors, by charter dated 16 Sep 1232[1038]. Seigneur de Beauvoir[-de-Marc]: “Sibondus de Bellouidere” transferred “castrum de Bellouidere...mistraliam Viennæ, et quod capiebam in pedagio S. Simphoriani” to “Willelmo filio meo” by charter dated 27 Mar 1233, sealed by “dominus Guido Lugdunensis electus, dominus Albertus de Turre, Willelmus de Bellouidere frater meus, et Drodo frater meus canonicus Viennensis”[1039]. The testament of “Siboud seigneur de Beauvoir[-de-Marc]”, dated 23 Jul 1242, appointed as his universal heir “son fils Guillaume”[1040]. An arbitral sentence dated 5 Nov 1246 settled a dispute between “Siboud seigneur de Beauvoir[-de-Marc] et son fils Guillaume” and Saint-André-le-Bas de Vienne regarding jurisdictional rights[1041]. “Guillaume de Beauvoir” granted “[les] châteaux de Beauvoir-de-Marc et de Pinet...la mistralie de Vienne, [le] village de Milieu (Millef) près Pinet...” to “son fils Dronet”, preserving the usufruct for himself, by charter dated Jul 1255[1042]. An arbitration between “Guillaume seigneur de Beauvoir et Jacques de Boczosel” decided that “tous les droits d’Albert de Boczosel sont dévolus à Vallone épouse de Guillaume”, dated 19 Oct 1266[1043]. A charter dated 18 Dec 1277 records the testament made by “D. Guillelmi quondam domini de Bello-visu”, submitted by “Aymareti filii quondam bonæ memoriæ nobilis viri D. Guillelmi domini de Bellovidere” represented as a minor by “D. Gaufredus de Viriaco canonicus Viennensis avunculus ipsius Aymareti”, and sworn by “Humbertus dominus de Turre”, the testament dated 4 Dec 1277 wishing all his debts and those of “Siboudi patris mei quondam, Drodonis fratris et Drodonis avunculi mei” paid, choosing burial “monasterio bonarum Vallium”, making bequests to “Marguaritæ uxori Alberti de Cassenatico filiæ meæ...Giraudæ filiæ meæ...Beatrici filiæ meæ...Alisiæ filiæ meæ...Guillelmeto filio Berlionetæ...”, appointing “Drodonetum et Aymarum filios meos” as his universal heirs, leaving “castrum de Bello-videre, castrum de Palude, Juannages et Ruy” to the former with “Guidoni et Guillelmo fratribus suis uterinus” as substitutes, and “Aymareto filio meo ex secunda uxore...castrum de Pineto, Villam-novam, Millieu, Montenevers et Mistraliam comitum Viennæ” with “Guillelmeto et Alberto fratribus suis uternis” as substitutes, bequeathing property to “Siboudo filio meo...Robertum filium meum volo fieri templarium...Audisiæ sorori meæ...”, and appointing “Humbertus dominus de Turre...consanguineus meus” to decide any disputes between his children[1044].

m firstly [VALLONE, daughter of [--- Boczosel & his wife ---]]. An arbitration between “Guillaume seigneur de Beauvoir et Jacques de Boczosel” decided that “tous les droits d’Albert de Boczosel sont dévolus à Vallone épouse de Guillaume”, dated 19 Oct 1266[1045]. It is assumed that Vallone was Guillaume’s first wife, then deceased, as his wife Alasia is named in another charter on the same date.]

m secondly ([5 Apr 1255]) ALASIA de Virieu, daughter of MARTIN de Virieu Seigneur de Faverges et de Montrevel & his wife ---. “Martinus de Viriaco dominus Montis revelli” promised “Willelmo domino de Bellovidere” dowry for “Aliziæ filiæ nostræ”, with “Albertus de Viriaco, Guiffredus, Aymarus et Humbertus fratres, filii dicti Martini” named as guarantors, by charter dated 5 Apr 1255[1046]. “Guillaume seigneur de Beauvoir et son épouse Alasia” swore homage to Philippe de Savoie for the property which they inherited from “Albert de Boczosel” by charter dated 19 Oct 1266[1047]. The following document suggests that Alasia was the sister of Geoffroy de Virieu, named in the 5 Apr 1255 document quoted above, assuming that “avunculus” is interpreted in its strict sense of maternal uncle: a charter dated 18 Dec 1277 records the testament made by “D. Guillelmi quondam domini de Bello-visu”, submitted by “Aymareti filii quondam bonæ memoriæ nobilis viri D. Guillelmi domini de Bellovidere” represented as a minor by “D. Gaufredus de Viriaco canonicus Viennensis avunculus ipsius Aymareti”[1048].

[Mistress (1): BERLIONE, daughter of ---. The testament of “D. Guillelmi quondam domini de Bello-visu”, dated 4 Dec 1277, made bequests to “Marguaritæ uxori Alberti de Cassenatico filiæ meæ...Giraudæ filiæ meæ...Beatrici filiæ meæ...Alisiæ filiæ meæ...Guillelmeto filio Berlionetæ...”[1049]. One explanation for the last entry is that the beneficiary was the testator’s illegitimate son.]

Guillaume [IV] & first wife had seven children:

1. DRODON de Beauvoir (-[8 Sep/20 Nov] 1306). The testament of “D.

Seigneur de Beauvoir[-de-Marc]. “Drodon fils de feu Guillaume seigneur de Beauvoir” swore allegiance to Humbert Seigneur de la Tour for “les châteaux de Beauvoir, Pinet, Villeneuve, Montrevel et la Palud” and ceded to him “le château...de St-Jean-de-Bournay” by charters dated 29 Dec 1277[1051]. “Drodonet seigneur de Beauvoir-de-Marc, fils de Guillaume sr dud. lieu” granted “[le] château...de St-Jean-de-Bournay” to “son cousin Hugues de la Tour sénéchal de Lyon” by charter dated 1 Apr 1278[1052].

His absence from his father’s 8 Sep 1306 charter, which names his brother Guigues, suggests that Siboud died before that date.

b) GUIGUES de Beauvoir (-after 9 Dec 1333, bur Bonnevaux). His parentage is confirmed by the Papal dispensation for this marriage. A charter dated 8 Sep 1306 records a defensive alliance between Humbert Dauphin de Viennois and his sons and “Drodo dominus Bellevisus de Marco et Guigo eius filius” against Savoy[1059]. Seigneur de Beauvoir[-de-Marc]. “Guigues seigneur de Beauvoir-de-Marc” swore homage the dauphin de Viennois, “à raison de la baronnie de la terre de la Tour...la mistralie de Vienne, les châteaux de Beauvoir-de-Marc et de Pinet”, by charter dated 16 Dec 1310[1060]. “Guigues de Beauvoir” granted “le château d’Anthon” to “sa femme Isabeau d’Anthon” by charter dated 8 Aug 1315[1061]. “Guigues seigneur de Beauvoir” swore homage to Edouard Comte de Savoie “pour le château de Milieu et 3 parts du lieu de Meyrieu” by charter dated 15 Nov 1325[1062].

Two documents, dated differently, record his testament. Firstly, the testament of “Guigues seigneur de Beauvoir fils de Drodon” is dated 9 Dec 1331 (no details except extract of religious donations)[1065]. Secondly, the testament of “Guigues seigneur de Beauvoir fils de feu Drodon seigneur de Beauvoir”, dated 9 Dec 1333, chose burial “au cimetière de l’abbaye de Bonnevaux”, acknowledged having received in full “la dot de sa femme Isabelle par son père feu Guichard seigneur d’Anthon”, donated “la bastide de Geyssans à sa sœur Marguerite femme de Rolet d’Entremont”, named as his heir in case he died childless “Amédée de Beauvoir chevalier s’il épouse Jaqueta fille unique de Hugues de Vaulx chev., sa nièce, d’ici au Carniprivium vetus 1333/4” with “Dronet de Vaulx, son neveu” as substitute, and named “...son épouse Ysabelle...” among his executors[1066]. The more detailed nature of the second document suggests that it was correctly dated. m (Papal dispensation 3 Jan 1304) ISABELLE d’Anthon, daughter of GUICHARD [VII] Seigneur d’Anthon & his [second] wife Marguerite de Sainte-Croix (-after 4 Sep 1343). Pope Benedict XI issued a dispensation for the marriage of “Guigues fils Dredo seigneur de Beauvoir” and “Isabelle fille de Guichard seigneur d’Anthon” despite their 4^o consanguinity, dated 3 Jan 1304[1067]. “Guigues de Beauvoir” granted “le château d’Anthon” to “sa femme Isabeau d’Anthon” by charter dated 8 Aug 1315[1068].

This charter must be misdated in light of the 8 Aug 1315 charter cited above. The testament of “Guigues seigneur de Beauvoir fils de feu Drodon seigneur de Beauvoir”, dated 9 Dec 1333, acknowledged having received in full “la dot de sa femme Isabelle par son père feu Guichard seigneur d’Anthon” and named “...son épouse Ysabelle...” among his executors[1070]. Dauphin Humbert and “Isabelle d’Anthon veuve de Guigues seigneur de Beauvoir-de-Marc” reached agreement concerning “[le] château de Beauvoir et la terre de Guigues, dont l’usufruit est accordé à Isabelle” by charter dated 22 Feb 1337[1071].

This daughter was presumably the older sister of the testator, given the appointment of her son as substitute heir, unless his sister Marguerite (see below) was childless. m HUGUES de Vaux, son of --- (-after 9 Dec 1333). Hugues & his wife had two children:

i) DRODON [Dronet] de Vaux (-after 11 Sep 1346). The testament of “Guigues seigneur de Beauvoir fils de feu Drodon seigneur de Beauvoir”, dated 9 Dec 1333, named as his heir in case he died childless “Amédée de Beauvoir chevalier s’il épouse Jaqueta fille unique de Hugues de Vaulx chev., sa nièce, d’ici au Carniprivium vetus 1333/4” with “Dronet de Vaulx, son neveu” as substitute[1077]. “Noble Dronet de Vaulx” donated “[les] châteaux de Beauvoir-de-Marc, Pinet, Montléans et la bâtie de Geyssans”, bequeathed to him by “Guigues seigneur de Beauvoir-de-Marc“, by charter dated 8 Nov 1337, in return for a grant of rights “sur la terre de Beauvoir-de-Marc, du château de la Terrasse en Graisivaudan...” on the same date[1078]. A charter dated 17 Aug 1343 records an agreement between Dauphin Humbert and “Amédée de Beauvoir chevalier seigneur de Villeneuve-de-Marc” concerning his rights and those of “Drevet de Beauvoir, Aymard son frère, Jacques et Jacquette de Laval épouse dudit Amédée” in “[les] terres de Beauvoir-de-Marc, Pinet, Montléans et dans tout l’héritage de Guigues seigneur dudit Beauvoir-de-Marc” by charter dated 17 Aug 1343[1079]. “Drodon de Vaux (Vallibus) chevalier seigneur de la Terrasse” called a meeting of châtelains at Briançon to consider the case of “noble Tiset Roerii” by charter dated 1 Aug 1346, the hearing recorded in a charter dated 11 Sep 1346[1080].

The marriage presumably did not take place, or if it did the wife died soon afterwards, in view of the 8 Nov 1337 charter quoted above. A charter dated 17 Aug 1343 records an agreement between Dauphin Humbert and “Amédée de Beauvoir chevalier seigneur de Villeneuve-de-Marc” concerning his rights and those of “Drevet de Beauvoir, Aymard son frère, Jacques et Jacquette de Laval épouse dudit Amédée” in “[les] terres de Beauvoir-de-Marc, Pinet, Montléans et dans tout l’héritage de Guigues seigneur dudit Beauvoir-de-Marc” by charter dated 17 Aug 1343[1082]. m ([1333/34]) AMEDEE de Beauvoir Seigneur de Villeneuve-de-Marc, son of AIMAR de Beauvoir & his wife --- ([before 1313?]-after 17 Aug 1343).

The testament of François de Sassenage, dated 15 Apr 1328, named “...Seigneur Guigues de Grolée Seigneur de Neyrieux cousin of the testator, Drodonnet son of Marguerite de Beauvoir wife of Rollet d’Entremonet...Seigneur Guigues de Beauvoir” as successive substitute heirs[1083]. The testament of “Guigues seigneur de Beauvoir fils de feu Drodon seigneur de Beauvoir”, dated 9 Dec 1333, donated “la bastide de Geyssans à sa sœur Marguerite femme de Rolet d’Entremont”[1084].

2. GUY de Beauvoir . The testament of “D. Guillelmi quondam domini de Bello-visu”, dated 4 Dec 1277, appointed “Drodonetum et Aymarum filios meos” as his universal heirs, leaving “castrum de Bello-videre, castrum de Palude, Juannages et Ruy” to the former with “Guidoni et Guillelmo fratribus suis uterinus” as substitutes[1086].

The testament of “frère Guillaume de Beauvoir...fils de feu Guillaume de Beauvoir chevalier, novice dans l’ordre des Frères Mineurs au couvent de Die”, dated 30 Dec 1279, named “Drodonet de Beauvoir mon frère” as his heir for all property from the succession of his father “tant à raison d’institution, de substitution”, bequeathed property to “Marguerite veuve d’Arbert de Sassenage ma sœur...à prendre sur les biens m’appartenant du chef de ma mère”[1088]. Valbonnais records that “Guillelmetum”, referring to Guillaume son of Guillaume [IV] by his second wife (see below), became a Franciscan monk at Die in 1278 and “fit son testament dans l’année de son noviciat”, bequeathing property to “Marguerite de Beauvoir sa sœur veuve d’Albert de Sassenage”[1089]. However, the testator’s appointment as his heir his brother Drodon, instead of his brother Aimar, and in particular referring to “substitution” which recalls their father’s testamentary disposition (which also calls Guy and Guillaume “fratribus suis uterinus”, suggests that Guillaume was Guillaume [IV]’s son by his first marriage.

4. MARGUERITE de Beauvoir (-after 24 Dec 1281). The testament of “D. Guillelmi quondam domini de Bello-visu”, dated 4 Dec 1277, made bequests to “Marguaritæ uxori Alberti de Cassenatico filiæ meæ...Giraudæ filiæ meæ...Beatrici filiæ meæ...Alisiæ filiæ meæ...Guillelmeto filio Berlionetæ...”[1090].

Père Anselme records her family origin (not her precise parentage) and marriage[1415]. Her marriage date is indicated by her husband swearing homage “du château de Poupet, et des biens provenans de son épouse” to “Louis de Chalon Prince d’Orange”, in the presence of “Lancelot de Luyrieux son beau-frère”, by charter dated 13 Oct 1419[1416].

Chapter 8. SEIGNEURS de MORGES

A. SEIGNEURS de MORGES

Two brothers, parents not identified:

1. ARNAUD de Morges (-after Nov 1189). Hugues III Duke of Burgundy granted “le fief que tenait de lui Arnaud de Morges et son frère Pierre” to “Raymond Bérenger” by charter dated Nov 1189[1434].

2. PIERRE de Morges (-after Nov 1189). Hugues III Duke of Burgundy granted “le fief que tenait de lui Arnaud de Morges et son frère Pierre” to “Raymond Bérenger” [Raymond Bérenger [I], see above] by charter dated Nov 1189[1435].

B. SEIGNEURS de MORGES (BERENGER)

Chorier (without citing any primary sources which confirm the information) names “Guigues Seigneur de Morges, tige de la branche des Bérengers Seigneurs de Morges” as the brother of “Raymond Berenger II Seigneur souverain du Pont en Royans”, noting in a later passage that the two brothers fought the bishop of Die over the donation made under the 1178 charter quoted above[1436]. No primary source has been identified which confirms that this affiliation is correct, although Guigues’s inheritance of Morges suggests that it might be.

Chorier is completely confused about the ancestry of Pierre, named below, whom he says was third son of “Berenger Prince de Royans”[1437]. In another passage, he cites charters dated 1207 and 1253 in which he is named, dates which are inconsistent with his suggested parentage[1438]. As noted below, his parentage is confirmed by the 26 Feb 1258 charter cited below.

PIERRE Bérenger de Morges, son of RAYMOND & his wife --- (-[13 Jun 1253/26 Feb 1258]). His parentage is confirmed by the 26 Feb 1258 charter quoted below under his son. A charter dated 23 Oct 1279 records that, after “Pierre de Morges” had been captured by “Osasiccha” [maybe Raimbaud Bérenger Seigneur de Royans, see above, or “Ossassica” Seigneur de la Roche-des-Arnauds], the canons of Die sent representatives to secure his land “qui étaient de leur domaine” and that Pierre swore homage to the bishop of Die in the presence of “Raymond Berengarii de Royans, Izoard d’Aix et Guillaume de Clot”, dated to before 1236[1439]. “Pierre de Morges chevalier” acknowledged holding “le château de Gua (Vado)...” and “tout ce qu’il a acquis de son frère Raymond Bérenger en échange de Peyrins” from Guigues Dauphin de Viennois by charter dated 13 Jun 1253[1440]. He was named as deceased in the 26 Feb 1258 charter. A charter dated 15 Nov 1279 records an enquiry by the chapter of Die into the succession of "quondam D. Petri de Morgiis et Fromundi Berengarii eius filii”[1441]. The testament of [his son] “Quatermalla Valentinus et Dyensis canonicus et dominus de Tresmenis”, dated 9 Apr 1288, donated property to the church of Tréminis for the anniversary of “dom. Petri de Morgiis patris mei condam”[1442].

m ---. The name of Pierre’s wife is not known.

Pierre & his wife had four children:

1. FROMOND Bérenger (-[23 Oct/15 Nov] 1279). His parentage is confirmed by his marriage contract, which also records that Fromond was granted Sainte-Jalle by his father-in-law. A judgment issued by “Guigo Dalphinus Vienn. et Albonis comes arbiter”, dated 26 Feb 1258, settled the dispute between “Raymundum Berengarii filium quondam Guigonis Berengarii” and “Fromundum filium quondam Petri de Morgiis” concerning the inheritance of “Raymundi avi ipsius Fromundi et dicti Raymundi”, who had left “tribus filiis...Petro de Morgiis patre dict. Fromundi, et Raymundo Berengarii de Royans, et Guigone patre dict. Raymundi” [the Regeste Dauphinois adds “...et 3 filles”, presumably from another version of the charter] between whom the succession had been split three ways and was later disputed[1443]. A charter dated 18 Feb 1263 (O.S.) records the settlement of a dispute between “Pierre Isoard et Fromond de Bérenger, au nom de Sacristane sa femme” concerning “la succession de Raimond Artaud”, Fromond receiving “tout ce qui était en Trièves et au diocèse de Grenoble...” and Pierre Isoard “...son droit aux châteaux de Miribel et de Buart et fief de Guigues de Torane...”[1444]. A charter dated 23 Oct 1279 established that “Pierre de Morges et son fils Fromond Berengarii” held “[le] château de Thoranne...” from the bishop of Die, in the presence of “...Odon Alamandi seigneur de Champ...”[1445]. A charter dated 15 Nov 1279 records an enquiry by the chapter of Die into the succession of "quondam D. Petri de Morgiis et Fromundi Berengarii eius filii”[1446]. The document suggests that Fromond was deceased at the time. He is named as deceased in the 9 Apr 1288 testament of his brother Quatremalle, quoted below. m (contract 21 Sep 1259) SACRISTANE de Mison, daughter of BERTRAND de Mison & his wife ---. The marriage contract of “Fromond Bérenger fils de feu Pierre de Morges” and “Sacristane de Mison fille de Bertrand chevalier seigneur de Ste-Jalle” is dated 21 Sep 1259[1447]. Another document records the same marriage contract between “Formont Béranger fils de Pierre de Morges chevalier” and “Sacristane fille de Bertrand” who granted his daughter “les châteaux de Ste-Jalle, la bâtie de Siellat, Niffotio (Linseuil) et Esparron, et ses droits à Arpavon, en la bâtie de Pennafol et Tarandol” as dowry, dated 21 Sep 1270[1448]. The 16 Feb 1263 (O.S.) document in which her husband is named, quoted above, indicates that the earlier date is correct. Fromond & his wife had four children:

a) RAYNAUD Bérenger (-after 8 Jan [1319/20]). The testament of “Quatermalla Valentinus et Dyensis canonicus et dominus de Tresmenis”, dated 9 Apr 1288, named “Raynaldum nepotem meum filium eiusdem Fromondi fratris mei condam” as his universal heir[1449]. His parentage is confirmed by the following document: “Raynaud Bérenger seigneur de Tréminis” confirmed the donation of pasturage rights to Durbon made by “feu Pierre de Morges aieul paternel de Fromond Bérenger père dudit Raynaud” by charter dated 2 Nov 1310[1450]. Chorier records his parentage, noting that he swore allegiance to the chapter of Die for “la moitié du château de Foillans” by charter dated Sep 1315[1451]. In another passage, Chorier says that Raynaud Bérenger sold “[la terre] de Prébois” to “Guigue Berenger Seigneur de Morges son cousin” by charter dated 1276 [document not found][1452]. Seigneur de Feuillans et de Tréminis. He is named in the 8 Jan 1319 charter cited below. m GALBERGE, daughter of --- (-after 31 Aug 1324). The testament of “Galberge veuve de Reynaud Bérenger”, dated 31 Aug 1324, bequeathes property to “son fils Bertrand sgr de Tréminis”[1453]. Raynaud & his wife had one child:

i) BERTRAND Bérenger (-before 23 Jul 1352). A charter dated 16 Mar 1319 (O.S.?) records the confirmation by “Bertrand Bérenger fils de Raynaud sgr de Feuillans et de Tréminis” of the confirmation made 8 Jan 1319 (O.S.?) by his father of pasturage rights “dans les montagnes et alpages de Tréminis” granted 17 Aug 1247 by “Pierre de Morges” to Durbon[1454]. Seigneur de Feuillans et de Tréminis. The testament of “Galberge veuve de Reynaud Bérenger”, dated 31 Aug 1324, bequeathes property to “son fils Bertrand sgr de Tréminis”[1455]. Seigneur de Prébois. He was named as deceased in the 23 Jul 1352 charter of his daughter Galburge, cited below. [m firstly ---. This first marriage is suggested by Chorier’s reference to Bertrand’s supposed marriage to Béatrix de Sassenage which (while unconfirmed) would only be possible on the assumption of an earlier marriage to the mother of his children.] [m secondly (1330) as her third husband (Chorier says her second) Béatrix de Sassenage, widow firstly of Aymar Bérenger Seigneur de Pont-en-Royans and secondly of Guy Seigneur de Tullins, daughter of François Seigneur de Sassenage & his wife Agnes de Joinville-Gex (-after 1330). Chorier records Béatrix’s third marriage to Bertrand Bérenger in 1330[1456]. This information has not been confirmed and would only be compatible with Bertrand’s known marriage to Marguerite de Hautvillard if she was his third wife.] m [thirdly] MARGUERITE de Hautvillard, daughter of ETIENNE de Hautvillard & his wife --- (-after [13/27] May 1363). A charter dated 13/27 May 1363 records that “Hugues Aquin” acquired “[le] château de Prébois” following the non-reimbursement of the dowry of “Marguerite de Hautvillard, fille d’Etienne et veuve de Bertrand de Bérenger sgr de Prébois”[1457]. Bertrand & his [first] wife had three children:

(a) CATHERINE . The marriage contract between “Odon Allemand sgr de Sainte-Jalle” and “Catherine fille de Bertrand Béranger sgr de Tréminis” is dated Oct 1307[1458]. Considering her paternal great-grandfather’s 1259 marriage, this date is early for a marriage of his great-granddaughter. Presumably the document is misdated or her father’s named is mistranscribed. Her supposed husband would have succeeded his father as seigneur de Sainte-Jalle in [1334/36]. Maybe the date is an error for 1337. Dame de Tréminis. Chevalier notes that the reverse of the testament of “Quatermalla Valentinus et Dyensis canonicus et dominus de Tresmenis”, dated 9 Apr 1288 (see below), includes a handwritten note “testamentum dom. Catherine Alla. domine de Tresmenis”, presumably relating to another manuscript[1459], but which confirms the existence of Catherine and the family name of her husband (“Alla.” =Alamandi). m (contract [Oct 1307] [1337?]) EUDES Alamandi de Sainte-Jalle, GILLES Alamandi Seigneur de Sainte-Jalle & his wife Stéphanie Aybraude (-[2 Jul 1346/17 Mar 1349]).

(b) PHILIPPA . Chorier records her parentage (no source cited)[1460].

(c) GALBERGE (-after 23 Jul 1352). Chorier records her parentage and marriage, noting that she acknowledged a debt to “Guillaume Coste Seigneur de Raymon”, for his payments towards the burial of [her father] “Bertrand”, by charter dated 23 Jul 1352[1461]. m FRANÇOIS Coste Seigneur de Saint-Benoît, son of ---.

b) PIERRE (-after 9 Apr 1288). The testament of “Quatermalla Valentinus et Dyensis canonicus et dominus de Tresmenis”, dated 9 Apr 1288, named “Petrum de Morgiis nepotem meum, filium Fromondi fratris mei condam” as his heir to property “in tota parochia Sancti Michaelis”, with conditions relating to the sale of the property involving “Raynaudi fratris sui...Guigo de Morgiis et Clemencia uxor sua...sororem suam”[1462].

c) CLEMENCE (-after 9 Apr 1288). The testament of “Quatermalla Valentinus et Dyensis canonicus et dominus de Tresmenis”, dated 9 Apr 1288, named “Petrum de Morgiis nepotem meum, filium Fromondi fratris mei condam” as his heir to property “in tota parochia Sancti Michaelis”, with conditions relating to the sale of the property involving “Raynaudi fratris sui...Guigo de Morgiis et Clemencia uxor sua...sororem suam”, named “Raynaldum nepotem meum filium eiusdem Fromondi fratris mei condam” as his universal heir, with “Aynardum nepotem meum, filium Berengarie sororis mee filiumque Odonis de Roma condam...filios masculos Clemencie neptis mee” as successive substitute heirs in “castrum et totum factum de Tresmenis et de Aneret” and bequeathed money to “...Guigonem de Morgiis...et Clemencie conjugibus...”[1463]. m (before 9 Apr 1288) GUIGUES de Morges, son of --- (-after 27 Nov 1300).

d) VERONIQUE (-after 9 Apr 1288). The testament of “Quatermalla Valentinus et Dyensis canonicus et dominus de Tresmenis”, dated 9 Apr 1288, “...Veronice nepti mee filie predicti Fromondi condam [for her marriage]...”[1464].

2. QUATREMALLE (-after 2 Apr 1288). Seigneur de Tréminis. Canon at Valence and Die. The testament of “Quatermalla Valentinus et Dyensis canonicus et dominus de Tresmenis”, dated 9 Apr 1288, named “Petrum de Morgiis nepotem meum, filium Fromondi fratris mei condam” as his heir to property “in tota parochia Sancti Michaelis”, with conditions relating to the sale of the property involving “Raynaudi fratris sui...Guigo de Morgiis et Clemencia uxor sua...sororem suam”, named “Raynaldum nepotem meum filium eiusdem Fromondi fratris mei condam” as his universal heir, with “Aynardum nepotem meum, filium Berengarie sororis mee filiumque Odonis de Roma condam...filios masculos Clemencie neptis mee” as successive substitute heirs in “castrum et totum factum de Tresmenis et de Aneret” and “Petrum fratrem suum” as substitute in other property, donated property to the church of Tréminis for the anniversary of “dom. Petri de Morgiis patris mei condam”, bequeathed property “in tota parrochia de Claellis” to “Raynalde sorori mee” for her life and thereafter to “Raynaldum nepotem meum et heredem”, bequeathed money to “Berengarie sorori mee...et Arnaudo eiusdem filio...et Veronice nepti mee filie predicti Fromondi condam [for her marriage]...Eustachio de Morgiis clerico...Guigonem de Morgiis...et Clemencie conjugibus...”[1465].

3. BERENGERE (-after 9 Apr 1288). The testament of “Quatermalla Valentinus et Dyensis canonicus et dominus de Tresmenis”, dated 9 Apr 1288, named “Raynaldum nepotem meum filium eiusdem Fromondi fratris mei condam” as his universal heir, with “Aynardum nepotem meum, filium Berengarie sororis mee filiumque Odonis de Roma condam...” as successive substitute heirs in “castrum et totum factum de Tresmenis et de Aneret” and bequeathed money to “Berengarie sorori mee...et Arnaudo eiusdem filio...”[1466]. m ODON de Rome, son of --- (-before 9 Apr 1288).

4. RAYNAUDE (-after 9 Apr 1288). The testament of “Quatermalla Valentinus et Dyensis canonicus et dominus de Tresmenis”, dated 9 Apr 1288, bequeathed property “in tota parrochia de Claellis” to “Raynalde sorori mee” for her life and thereafter to “Raynaldum nepotem meum et heredem”[1467]. The text suggests that Raynaude was unmarried at the time and had no direct heirs.

GUIGUES Bérenger [I], son of RAYMOND & his wife --- ). His parentage is confirmed by the 26 Feb 1258 charter cited below under his son. [Seigneur de Morges]. Chorier (without citing any primary sources which confirm the information) names “Guigues Seigneur de Morges, tige de la branche des Berengers Seigneurs de Morges” as the brother of “Raymond Berenger II Seigneur souverain du Pont en Royans”, noting in a later passage that the two brothers fought the bishop of Die over the donation made under the 1178 charter quoted above[1468]. Chorier says that Guigues Bérenger [I] “eut un different avec Didier Evêque de Die pour les châteaux de Foillans et de Prébois” which was settled by charter dated 1218 [document not found][1469]. The date of his death has not been found.

m ---. The name of Guigues’s wife is not known.

Guigues Bérenger [I] & his wife had [two children]:

1. RAYMOND Bérenger (-[1265/20 Dec 1270]). Chorier says that Raymond Bérenger was the son of Guigues Bérenger [I] without citing the source which confirms this parentage[1470]. His parentage is confirmed by the 26 Feb 1258 charter cited below. Seigneur de Morges. “Raymundus Berengarii dominus Morgiarum” confirmed privileges granted by his predecessor seigneurs de Morges to the priory of Saint-Sebastien by charter dated [13/14] Oct 1246[1471]. A judgment issued by “Guigo Dalphinus Vienn. et Albonis comes arbiter”, dated 26 Feb 1258, settled the dispute between “Raymundum Berengarii filium quondam Guigonis Berengarii” and “Fromundum filium quondam Petri de Morgiis” concerning the inheritance of “Raymundi avi ipsius Fromundi et dicti Raymundi”, who had left “tribus filiis...Petro de Morgiis patre dict. Fromundi, et Raymundo Berengarii de Royans, et Guigone patre dict. Raymundi” [the Regeste Dauphinois adds “...et 3 filles”, presumably from another version of the charter] between whom the succession had been split three ways and was later disputed[1472]. “Raymond Bérenger seigneur de Morges” acknowledged holding “tous ses fiefs à Domène, la Pierre et Gières” from the Dauphin de Viennois by charter dated 1265[1473]. He died before 20 Dec 1270 when his son swore allegiance as noted below.] m ---. The name of Raymond’s wife is not known. Raymond Bérenger & his wife had one child:

a) GUIGUES Bérenger [II] (-after 1297). His parentage is confirmed by the 9 Nov 1258 and 5 Jan 1279 entries quoted below. Chorier says that Guigues [II] gave receipt for a payment in 1258 [document not found][1474]. Seigneur de Morges. “Guigues Bérenger seigneur de Morges et de Puy-Boson [Podio Bosone]” swore homage to Béatrix Ctss de Vienne et d’Albon for “ces châteaux” by charter dated 20 Dec 1270[1475]. “Guigues Bérenger seigneur de Morges” settled disputes with Beatrix Ctss de Vienne, receiving “en fief les châteaux de Morges et de Puy-Boson”, by charter dated 15 Jan 1271 (O.S.)[1476]. Chorier says that Raynaud Bérenger sold “[la terre] de Prébois” to “Guigue Berenger Seigneur de Morges son cousin” by charter dated 1276 [document not found][1477]. “Guigues Berengarii seigneur de Morges” donated his property “au château de Follians” to the bishop of Die by charter dated 1277[1478]. “Guigues fils de Raymond Bérenger”, who had captured “[le] château de Foillans”, was expelled by troops of the bishop of Valence and Die 5 Jan 1279[1479]. “Guigues Bérenger seigneur de Morges” received payment from “Odon Alleman seigneur de Champ” for “[le] château de Prébois et de la paroisse de Ste-Eugénie et St-Barthélemy” by charter dated 1283[1480]. “Guigues Berenguier seigneur de Morges” confirmed “tout ce que le commandeur du Trièves” had received “de la succession de noble Pons Gualteri” by charter dated 1297[1481]. “Guigues Bérenger seigneur de Morges” confirmed to “[le] commandeur d’Echirolles” all the property he held from “noble Pons Gautier dans le Trièves” by charter dated 5 Mar 1297 (O.S.)[1482]. Guigues presumably died before 2 Apr 1307 when Pierre Bérenger is recorded as seigneur de Morges (see below). m (after 9 Nov 1258) BEATRIX, illegitimate daughter of Dauphin GUIGUES Comte d’Albon & his mistress ---. “Raymond Bérenger seigneur de Morges” acknowledged receipt of dowry from Dauphin Guigues for “sa fille naturelle Béatrix, future épouse de Guigues de Morges, fils de Raymond” by charter dated 9 Nov 1258[1483]. Guigues Bérenger [II] & his wife had [one child]:

i) [PIERRE Bérenger [I] (-[7 Jul 1312/21 Oct 1317]). Chorier records Pierre as the son of Guigues Bérenger [II] Seigneur de Morges without citing the corresponding source[1484]. His succession to Morges suggests that this is correct. Seigneur de Morges. “Humbert dauphin de Viennois pour lui et ses fils” and “Pierre Berengarii seigneur de Morges pour lui, son fils Rondet et ses autres enfants” appointed “Guigues Alamandi seigneur de Valbonnais” to arbitrate their disputes by charter dated 21 Apr 1306, a charter dated 25 Apr 1306 recording the decision that “le domaine, la juridiction etc. que feu Rodolphe de Gua (de Vado) possédait dans la paroisse et territoire de Vif...” would be ceded to the dauphin without “Pierre” being evicted and that “tous les fiefs contestés” would be attributed “au seigneur de Morges”[1485]. A charter dated 2 Apr 1307 records an alliance between “Guigues Allemand seigneur de Valbonnais...Pierre Béranger sr. de Morges...” and others[1486]. Chorier says that Pierre Bérenger signed a defensive alliance with other nobility in the Dauphiné by charter dated 9 Nov 1309 [document not found][1487]. Chorier says that Pierre Bérenger’s testament is dated 7 Jul 1312 [document not found][1488]. Pierre presumably died before 21 Oct 1317, when Jean Bérenger is named Seigneur de Morges (see below). [m [CATHERINE Bérenger, daughter of AYMAR Bérenger Seigneur de Pont-en-Royans & his first wife Alix --- ([1290/95?]-). Chorier records her parentage and names her as the wife of Pierre Bérenger, and as the mother of Jean Bérenger [I] (see below) (no sources cited)[1489]. This information is unlikely to be correct. The children of Aymar Bérenger by his first marriage were probably born in the 1290s, which means that Catherine could not have been Jean’s mother. As noted below in the introductory paragraph to Jean [I], one solution to the link between Pierre and Jean [I] could be a missing generation in the Morges family, although this would not resolve the difficulty relating to Catherine who could not in any event have been Jean’s mother.] [m --- de Guâ, daughter of RODOLPHE Seigneur de Guâ & his wife ---. Another possibility is that Pierre’s wife was the heiress of Rodolphe du Guâ. This is suggested by the 21 Apr 1306 and 25 Apr 1306 charters cited above relating to the succession of “le domaine, la juridiction etc. que feu Rodolphe de Gua (de Vado) possédait dans la paroisse et territoire de Vif...” which was awarded to Pierre. This suggestion could also explain why Pierre’s children were specified in the 21 Apr 1306 document as they would have been the direct heirs of the deceased, their father acting on their behalf during their minority. Rodolphe du Guâ is named in the following documents. “Rodolphe de Gua (de Vado)...chevaliers...” was named as present in the 7 Sep 1282 testament of “Aynard de la Tour”[1490]. Humbert Dauphin de Viennois sold “le château de Gua” to “Rodolphe de Gua (de Vado)” by charter dated 4 Dec 1291[1491]. Considering that Guâ was held in 1253 by Pierre Bérenger de Morges, Pierre [I]’s probable paternal great-uncle (see below), Rodolphe and Pierre [I] may have been related in some way.] Pierre [I] & his wife had [six] children:

1. JEAN Bérenger [II] (-after 25 Apr 1356).

The primary source which confirms the name of Jean’s wife has not been identified.

Chorier records her parentage and marriage, adding that her husband’s 20 Nov 1382 testament bequeathed property to his wife and his son [document not found][1521]. Chorier indicates that Cécile’s husband was Jean Bérenger [II] but this appears incompatible with the chronology of the Aix family. Jean & his wife had children:

i) PIERRE Bérenger (-after 2 May 1420). Seigneur de Morges. The testament of “Pierre Bérenger sgr de Morges en Trièves”, dated 2 May 1420, established the succession of his children, substituting successively “Jean Allemand sgr de Sichiliane...Guillaume Arthaud chev. sr d’Ays”[1522]. m (contract 3 May 1378) MARGUERITE de Pontevès, daughter of BARRAL de Pontevès & his wife ---.

C. MORGES

It is not known whether Guigues de Morges was descended from a younger branch of the Bérenger family of Morges, shown above in Part B. His name suggests a connection, but none of the documents in which he and his descendants are named refer to “Bérenger”. According to Valbonnais, Guigues de Morges was "issu des premiers Seigneurs de Morges” (see Part A of the present Chapter)[1530]. This assertion has not been verified.

1. GUIGUES de Morges (-after 27 Nov 1300). He is named with his wife in the 9 Apr 1288 testament of her paternal uncle, quoted below. Charters dated 30 Mar 1300 and 27 Nov 1300 record the sale of half a mill at Chardières by “la dauphine Béatrix...Etienne de Figard et Guigues de Morges” to “le châtelain de Jacques de Chardières”[1531]. m (before 9 Apr 1288) CLEMENCE Bérenger de Morges, daughter of FROMOND Bérenger de Morges & his wife Sacristane de Mison.

1. GUIGUES de Morges (-[29 Sep 1341/18 Aug 1342]). “...Guigues de Morges...” is named as fiduciary in the charter dated 8 Aug 1330 which records that “Guigues d’Illins coseigneur de ce lieu” swore homage to Dauphin Guigues[1533]. He is named Seigneur du Châtelard in the 14 Aug 1330 charter of his wife, quoted below. Presumably Guigues was a junior member of the family, assuming that he was a Bérenger. He is not named by Chorier. Seigneur de Vercoiran: “Guy seigneur de Tullins” granted “[le] château et terre de Vercoiran” to “Marguerite sa fille, épouse de Guigues de Morges seigneur de Jansac, et à Guillaume de Morges leur fils” by charter dated 10 Feb 1318 (O.S.)[1534]. A “terrier de reconnaissances” in favour of “Guigues de Morges chevalier seigneur de Vercoiran” is dated 16 Sep 1330[1535]. Seigneur de Jansac: “Guigues de Morges seigneur de Jansac (Gensac)” swore homage to Dauphin Guigues for “la terre de Vercoiran et la moitié de celle d’Autane, les parts du château de Rosans et de la terre de Roussieu...le château de Clermont...” by charter dated 26 Nov 1330[1536]. “Guigues de Morges chevalier et seigneur du Châtelard” acknowledging holding “le château de l’Epine” from Dauphin Guigues (as baron de Mévouillon) by charter dated 28 Oct 1332[1537]. “Guigues de Morges chevalier seigneur de Jensac” swore homage to Dauphin Humbert except for “l’homage qu’il doit au seigneur de Morges” by charter dated 8 Jan 1334[1538]. Seigneur de Châtelard: “Guigues dit de Morges seigneur de Châtelard, au nom de Gilète Eynard Ay-de dame de la Motte femme de son fils Guigues de Morges” paid homage to Dauphin Humbert for “les châteaux de la Motte(-St-Martin) en Matésine, celui de Moidans en Rosans...”, by charter dated 5 Dec 1337[1539]. He is recorded as deceased in the 18 Aug 1342 charter quoted below under his wife. m (before 7 Dec 1314) MARGUERITE de Tullins, daughter of GUY Seigneur de Tullins & his first wife Béatrix --- ([1300 or before]-after 9 Jul 1338). “Guigues seigneur de Tullins” made payments to “sa fille Marguerite mariée à Guigues de Morges” for renouncing her parental succession by charter dated 7 Dec 1314[1540]. “Marguerite fille de Guy de Tullins et femme de Guigues de Morges damoiseau” in consideration for receiving her dowry renounced her succession to her father, reserving her rights of succession to “Béatrix sa mère”, by charter dated 25 Oct 1315[1541]. “Guy seigneur de Tullins” granted “[le] château et terre de Vercoiran” to “Marguerite sa fille, épouse de Guigues de Morges seigneur de Jansac, et à Guillaume de Morges leur fils” by charter dated 10 Feb 1318 (O.S.)[1542]. Dauphin Guigues exchanged property with “Marguerite de Tullins épouse de Guigues de Morges seigneur du Châtelard et fille de Guy seigneur de Tullins” by charter dated 14 Aug 1330[1543]. “Marguerite de Tullins” appointed “son époux Guigues de Morges chevalier seigneur de Châtelard” as proxy relating to “sa part des biens de feu...Guy de Tullins seigneur de ce lieu et dame Marguerite [error for Béatrix, see 25 Oct 1415 charter above] son épouse aux lieux de Tullins et Beaucroissant et de tout héritage” by charter dated 9 Jul 1338[1544]. Dauphin Humbert and “Humilie dame de Tullins” reached agreement regarding the Tullins succession, including the shares of “Jordane de Tullins épouse de Gérard de Roussillon seigneur d’Anjou et de Marguerite de Tullins épouse de feu Guigues de Morges seigneur de Tullins”, by charter dated 18 Aug 1342[1545]. Guigues & his wife had four children:

a) BERENGERE de Morges . The marriage contract of “Jn Allemand fils de feu Perronet Allemand de Labalme” and “Bérengère fille de Guigues de Morges sgr de Gensac”, dated 10 Jan 1328, names “Jean Allemand sgr de Séchiline...” as guarantors, Bérengère renouncing the succession of her father and of “dame Margueritte sa mère”, in the presence of “Sibond Allemand chev. et Jn Allemand, fils dudit Jean Allemand...”[1546]. Her marriage date, and that of her parents noted above, suggest that Bérengère was one of their older children. m (contract 10 Jan 1328) JEAN Alamandi, son of PIERRE Alamandi de La Baume & his wife --- (-before 13 Jan [1350/51]).

b) GUIGUES de Morges (-after 18 Jun 1349). His parentage is confirmed by the 5 Dec 1337 charter quoted below. Seigneur de Châtelard: “...Guigues de Morges sr du Châtelard...Guillaume de Morges chevaliers...Guigues de Morges damoiseaux...” witnessed the 18 Aug 1342 charter quoted above[1547]. The second named Guigues de Morges has not been identified; maybe he was a son of the first-named Guigues, in which case the latter would have married several years before the date shown below. Seigneur de l’Espine: “...Guigone de Morgia domino Spinæ” witnessed the charter dated 31 Jul 1343 which records an agreement between "Dominus Humbertus Dalphinus Viennensis" and "dominus Philippus de Vienna dominus de Pymont..." about the inheritance of "domina Margareta de Montelupello..."[1548]. “Guigues de Morges, fils d’autre Guigues,mari de Gilette Eynard dame de la Motte (St-Martin)” swore homage to Dauphin Humbert “pour tout ce qu’ils tenaient du dauphin” by charter dated 5 Feb 1349[1549]. “Guigues de Morges seigneur du Châtelard, héritier de son frère Raymond de Morges” received homage from “Pierre Jalat” by charter dated 18 Jun 1349[1550]. m (before 5 Dec 1337) GILETTE Ainard Dame de la Motte, daughter of --- (-after 5 Feb 1349). “Guigues dit de Morges seigneur de Châtelard, au nom de Gilète Eynard Ay-de dame de la Motte femme de son fils Guigues de Morges” paid homage to Dauphin Humbert for “les châteaux de la Motte(-St-Martin) en Matésine, celui de Moidans en Rosans...”, by charter dated 5 Dec 1337[1551]. “Guigues de Morges, fils d’autre Guigues,mari de Gilette Eynard dame de la Motte (St-Martin)” swore homage to Dauphin Humbert “pour tout ce qu’ils tenaient du dauphin” by charter dated 5 Feb 1349[1552].

Chapter 9. SEIGNEURS de ROUSSILLON

The Roussillon family was studied by Vachez at the end of the 19th century[1560]. His article contains numerous errors and inconsistencies but, so far, it is the only study found relating to the family. It is helpful especially in highlighting primary sources in which members of the Roussillon family are named.

A. SEIGNEURS de ROUSSILLON

1. ARTAUD [I] de Roussillon (-after [1095]). "Artaldus de Rossillon" donated property to the priory of Saint-Sauveur-en-Rue by charter dated to [1095][1561].

Two brothers:

1. GUILLAUME de Roussillon . “...Guillelmus de Rossillione” witnessed the charter dated 21 Oct 1104 under which "Amedeus comes" [Amédée III Comte de Maurienne et de Savoie] donated property to Saint-Jean de Maurienne[1562]. "…Wilelmus de Rossellone et Ugo frater meus…" donated property to the Templars at Richerenches, by charter dated to the 1130s[1563].

2. HUGUES de Roussillon . "…Wilelmus de Rossellone et Ugo frater meus…" donated property to the Templars at Richerenches, by charter dated to the 1130s[1564].

Two brothers:

1. PONS de Roussillon . A charter dated to after 1141 records that “Garin Girberti” sold property to the monks of Bonnevaux, noting that “si Guillaume Alamanni ou un autre cohéritier” raised difficulties, the dispute would be submitted to the archbishop of Vienne and to “Ponce de Roussillon et à son frère Artaud”[1565]. “Ponce de Roussillon” donated his property “au territoire de St-Maurice” to Bonnevaux, with the consent of “sa femme, de son fils et son frère Artaud”, by charter dated to [1150][1566]. A charter dated to [1155/63] records that the chapter of Vienne Saint-Maurice acquired “la dîme de Bellegarde” from “Pons de Roussillon”, with the consent of “sa femme et ses fils Aimon, Girard et Guigues...son parent Guillaume de Roussillon”[1567]. m --- (-after [1155/60]). She is referred to, but not named, in her husband’s [1150] and [1155/63] charters cited above. Pons & his wife had three children:

a) AIMON de Roussillon . He is named in his father’s [1150] charter cited above.

2. ARTAUD [II] de Roussillon . Vachez records "Artaud II" as successor to "Artaud I" but cites no primary source which confirms his existence[1571]. His existence is confirmed by the following documents, although they appear to indicate that he was the younger brother of Pons and so may not have been the direct successor of Artaud [I][1572]. A charter dated to after 1141 records that “Garin Girberti” sold property to the monks of Bonnevaux, noting that “si Guillaume Alamanni ou un autre cohéritier” raised difficulties, the dispute would be submitted to the archbishop of Vienne and to “Ponce de Roussillon et à son frère Artaud”[1573].

"Artaud de Roussillon et Girard de Roussillon" (presumably brothers) reached agreement under which Géraud received "le droit...sur les chàteaux de Montbreton et de Perau et sur les villages de Champagne et de Saint-Rambert" in return for renouncing his rights "sur le château de Roussillon" by charter dated 30 Jan 1235 (O.S.)[1590]. same person as…? GERAUD de Roussillon (-25 May 1263). Vachez identifies Géraud, son of Artaud [III], with Géraud de Roussillon Seigneur d’Anjo but does not cite the corresponding primary source on which this statement is based[1591]. An alternative possibility is that he was Géraud, son of Ponce de Roussillon, who is named below. Seigneur d’Anjo. An inscription in the church of Vienne records the death "VIII Kal Jun" 1263 of "Girardus de Rossilione dominus Sarreriæ et d’Anjo"[1592].

- SEIGNEURS d’ANJO.

c) GUIGUES de Roussillon (-29 Aug 1274). “Artaud seigneur de Roussillon et son frère Guigues prévôt de l’église de Valence” granted their property “au port de Vienne” to Jean Archbishop of Vienne by charter dated 9 May 1244[1593]. [Pope Innocent IV confirmed to “Guy de Rossellon clerk the king’s kinsman” the dispensation granted to him by the bishop of Hereford to hold additional benefices, dated 23 Jan 1246[1594]. The similarity of names suggests that “Guy de Rossellon” was Guigues de Roussillon, although this co-identity is not beyond all doubt. If this is correct, his relationship with the king of England was presumably through the king’s wife Beatrix of Provence and her Savoy relations, but the precise connection has not been traced. Pope Innocent IV granted indult to “Guy de Rossilian dean of St Martin’s London to put vicars into his benefices...and in the meantime that he shall not be obliged to take holy orders”, dated 1 Mar 1248[1595].] Archdeacon of Lyon. "Artaudus dominus de Rossillon et de Riviereia" confirmed that "Guigo frater meus archidiaconus Lugdunensis" held property "in portu pontis Rodani Lugdunensis", and committed to swearing homage for this land to the church of Lyon, by charter dated 25 Oct 1252[1596]. The necrology of Lyon records the death "IV Kal Sep" of "Guigo de Rossellione archidiaconus Lugdunensis" and his donation to the church of Saint-Etienne[1597].

2. PONS de Roussillon (-before 1227). “Les frères Artaud et Ponce de Roussillon” promised “la garde de Villette” to the archbishop of Vienne by charter dated 1192[1598]. He is named as deceased in his son’s 1227 charter cited below. m ---. Pons & his wife had one child:

a) GERAUD de Roussillon (-after 1227). A charter dated 1227 records a peace treaty between "Arthaudum de Rossillon et eius filium" and "Girardum condam filium Poncii de Rossillon", with "dalphinus" reserving his rights "in Rossillon"[1599].

According to Vachez, the following person was "Aymar de Roussillon"[1600]. However, he is not accorded this epithet in any of the sources which Vachez cites. It is possible that his relationship with Guillaume de Roussillon, son of Artaud [IV] Seigneur de Roussillon, was through the female line, maybe as the son of an otherwise unrecorded sister of Artaud [IV]. As noted below, the testament of Guillaume Seigneur de Roussillon records that he was heir of Aymar Seigneur d’Annonay.

1. AYMAR (-[11 Aug 1271/2 Mar 1273], bur Annonay Saint-Jean). Seigneur d’Annonay. A charter dated Feb 1235 (O.S.) records an agreement between "Aymard seigneur d’Annonay, et Aymard seigneur de Bressieu" and "Artaud seigneur de Roussillon, et Pons Charpinelle" concerning "[le] château de Dargoire"[1601]. La Mure records that "Eymart Seigneur d’Annonay" swore homage in Feb 1236 to Guy [IV] Comte de Forez for "la seigneurie d’Annonay et de ses châteaux d’Ay, de Peyet et Liever dépendant de ladite seigneurie" according to a document of "la Chambre des Comptes de Paris"[1602]. A charter dated 10 Oct 1251 records the appointment of arbitrators to set "les limites des justices et seigneuries de Guy Payan seigneur de Jarès et d’Aymar seigneur d’Annonay"[1603]. "Aymar seigneur de Beaudisner" sold "le château d’Ay au diocèse de Vienne" to "Aymar seigneur d’Annonay" by charter dated 6 Feb 1270 (O.S.), the latter acknowledging receipt of the purchase price by charter dated 20 Mar 1270 (O.S.)[1604]. The testament of "Aymar sire d’Annonay", dated 6 Jun 1271, and a codicil dated 11 Aug 1271, appoints "Guillaume de Roussillon son cousin" [consanguineus] as his heir[1605]. The executors of the testament of "feu Aymar sire d’Annonay" acknowledged receipt of money to pay various debts and funeral expenses from "Guillaume de Roussillon héritier dudit Aymar" by charter dated 2 Mar 1272 (O.S.)[1606]. The testament of "Guillaume de Roussillon jadis sire d’Annonay", dated 11 Aug 1275, requested masses on the anniversary of “feu sieur Aymar seigneur d’Annonay”, a codicil naming “la dame Arthaude sa défunte épouse” and noting that the testator was “héritier dudit sieur Aymard”[1607]. m ARTAUDE, daughter of ---. The testament of "Guillaume de Roussillon jadis sire d’Annonay", dated 11 Aug 1275, requested masses on the anniversary of “feu sieur Aymar seigneur d’Annonay”, a codicil naming “la dame Arthaude sa défunte épouse” and noting that the testator was “héritier dudit sieur Aymard”[1608].

ARTAUD [IV] de Roussillon, son of ARTAUD [III] Seigneur de Roussillon & his wife Alix de Glâne ([1200/05]-after 1270). A charter dated 1219 records an agreement between the bishop of Lyon and "Arthaudum de Roussillon" concerning "vicarium de Dalgoiricum", with the consent of "Artaudi filii sui…qui in tutela nostra [=Raynaudus…Lugdunensis ecclesiæ minister] erat"[1609]. The circumstances in which Artaud was under the guardianship of the bishop of Lyon, even though his father was still alive, are unclear. "Erat" in the document indicates that the guardianship had ended, maybe just before the signing of the document, and that Artaud junior was then of age. A charter dated 1220 records an agreement between the bishop of Lyon and "Arthaudum de Rossillione" concerning "terra de Riviria pro dote uxoris suæ" and damage caused by "Pontius de Glana pater uxoris suæ", with the consent of "Arthaudo filio eiusdem Arthaudi"[1610]. Seigneur de Roussillon et de Riverie. "Artaud de Roussillon et Girard de Roussillon" (presumably brothers) reached agreement under which Géraud received "le droit...sur les chàteaux de Montbreton et de Perau et sur les villages de Champagne et de Saint-Rambert" in return for renouncing his rights "sur le château de Roussillon" by charter dated 30 Jan 1235 (O.S.)[1611]. A charter dated Feb 1235 (O.S.) records an agreement between "Aymard seigneur d’Annonay, et Aymard seigneur de Bressieu" and "Artaud seigneur de Roussillon, et Pons Charpinelle" concerning "[le] château de Dargoire"[1612]. "Artaudus de Rossellon" donated "sextam partem portus Lugdunensis", held by "ego et Artaudus pater meus", to "Willelmo de Palude canonico Sancti Stephani Lugdunensis et prepositio S. Thome de Foroveteri" by charter dated Jun 1236[1613]. A charter dated May 1251 records the donation to the priory of Saint-Sauveur-en-Rue of "molendinum de Givret juxta las Moleyres" and the appointment of "dominum Artaudum et Vuilielmum filium suum de Rossilion et Guigoni Pagani dominum d’Argentau" as guarantors, witnessed by "domina M. comitissa uxor prædicti domini Artaudi de Rossilion"[1614]. "Artaudus dominus de Rossillon et de Riviereia" confirmed that "Guigo frater meus archidiaconus Lugdunensis" held property "in portu pontis Rodani Lugdunensis", and committed to swearing homage for this land to the church of Lyon, by charter dated 25 Oct 1252[1615]. "…Artaudus de Rossellon…" witnessed the testament of "Willelmus comes Gebenn." (who, under the hypothesis suggested below, would have been Artaud’s father-in-law) dated 9 Nov 1252[1616]. "Artaud sire de Roussillon…Aymar, Amédée, Alyse et Beatrix ses enfants" donated their rights "sur la succession de feu Guy comte de Forez" to "Guillaume fils dudit Artaud" by charter dated Nov 1262[1617]. It is assumed that this document refers to Guy [V] Comte de Forez, who died childless in 1259 leaving his brother Renaud as his heir, not his father Guy [IV] (who died in 1241) or his paternal grandfather Guy [III] (who died in [1202]). However, as Renaud Comte de Forez had male children at that date it is unclear why the involvement of the Roussillon family in the Forez inheritance was considered relevant at that time. It should be noted that Guillaume de Roussillon, son of Artaud [IV], is named in the Jun 1270 of Renaud Comte de Forez as one of the possible beneficiaries and heirs (see below). A charter dated 1267 records a peace agreement between "dom. Guigonem dalphinum Viennensem" and "dom. Arthaudum de Rossilione et Guillelmum filium eius" concerning "castro Ruppis de Cluey", as part of the terms for ending the war waged by "Ay[mari] de Pictavia"[1618]. A charter dated 1267 records that "Artaudus dominus Rossilionis" granted "in domo de Landrus et in villa et parrochia de Espinosa" to "dom. Guigoni dalphino", presumably as part of the same peace settlement although this is not mentioned in the extract[1619]. Vachez records that Artaud de Roussillon acted as guarantor for "Thomas et Amédée de Savoie" debtors of the king of France in 1270[1620]. A charter dated 7 Aug 1274 records the confirmation of the donation of "molendinum de Givret juxta las Moleyras" and names "Artaudi domini de Rossilione, Gulielmi de Rossilione, et…dominæ M. comitissæ uxoris prædicti domini Artaudi de Rossilione et Guigonis Pagani"[1621]. It is unclear from this document whether Artaud was still alive at that date: he probably was not.

m ([before 1238]) [as her second husband,] M---, [widow of --- Comte,] daughter of --- ([before 1223]-after May 1251, maybe [Nov 1262/Jun 1270]). The wife of Artaud [IV] Seigneur de Roussillon is referred to in the charter dated May 1251 which records the donation to the priory of Saint-Sauveur-en-Rue of "molendinum de Givret juxta las Moleyres" and the appointment of "dominum Artaudum et Vuilielmum filium suum de Rossilion et Guigoni Pagani dominum d’Argentau" as guarantors, witnessed by "domina M. comitissa uxor prædicti domini Artaudi de Rossilion"[1622]. A charter dated 7 Aug 1274 records the confirmation of the donation of "molendinum de Givret juxta las Moleyras" and names "Artaudi domini de Rossilione, Gulielmi de Rossilione, et…dominæ M. comitissæ uxoris prædicti domini Artaudi de Rossilione et Guigonis Pagani"[1623]. Vachez states that Artaud [IV]’s wife was "Marie"[1624], although he cites no primary source which indicates that "M" in the source quoted above represents an abbreviation for "Maria". The possible family origin of "M---" provides an intriguing puzzle. Different primary source documents indicate family relationships between the Roussillon family and both the Forez and Genève families. It looks likely that these relationships were through "M---". Dealing firstly with the Roussillon/Forez relationship. This is indicated by the testament of "Raynaudus comes Forensis et dominus Bellijoci", dated Jun 1270, which names "Guidonem consanguinem meum dominum de Tyerno" as his heir in substitution and states that, if he inherits, he should provide for "domino Guidoni de Tyerno consanguineo meo canonicus Lugdunensis…Hugoni de Tyerno consanguineo meo fratri eiusdem canonici Guidonis…consanguineo meo domino Ano domino d’Oliergue…Guillelmo de Rossilione consanguineo meo" (the last-named being identified as the son of Artaud [IV] Seigneur de Roussillon)[1625]. The relationship with the comtes de Forez is also confirmed by the charter dated Nov 1262, under which "Artaud sire de Roussillon…Aymar, Amédée, Alyse et Beatrix ses enfants" donated their rights "sur la succession de feu Guy comte de Forez" to "Guillaume fils dudit Artaud"[1626]. It is reasonable to suppose that the Roussillon/Forez relationship was through an otherwise unrecorded daughter of Guy [III] Comte de Forez, based on the following logic. Firstly, it is not known with certainty whether the Roussillon/Forez connection was through the father or mother of Guillaume de Roussillon. However, the charter dated Nov 1262 suggests that the relationship was through his mother: if Artaud [IV] himself had been the relative of the Forez family, it seems that this charter would have been unnecessary as Artaud could automatically have transferred his rights to Forez to his oldest son by testament. Artaud’s presence in the document does not necessarily indicate that he held the rights in his own name: they could have been held through his wife. If that is correct, presumably "M---" was still alive in Nov 1262. If she had been dead, her rights would already have vested in her children so her husband’s presence in the document would have been unnecessary (unless he was acting in the name of any children who were still minors). Secondly, the order of beneficiaries in the Jun 1270 testament of Renaud Comte de Forez is presumably significant in determining the nature of the connection with the Roussillon family. The document provides for bequests, in order, to "consanguineo meo domino Ano domino d’Oliergue…Guillelmo de Rossilione consanguineo meo". The former is identified as Agnon [VI] Seigneur d’Olliergues, the senior male representative of the descendants of the oldest daughter of Guy [III] Comte de Forez who married Guillaume de Baffie (see AUVERGNE for the Baffie and Olliergues families). It is likely therefore that "Guillelmo de Rossilione consanguineo meo" was in some way junior to Agnon [VI] in his rights to the Forez inheritance. The marriage of Artaud [IV] Seigneur de Roussillon is dated to [before 1238], which suggests that his wife is unlikely to have been born much later than [1220]. If that date is correct, and assuming at present that the family relationship was through Artaud’s wife, the chronology of the Olliergues family suggests that it is improbable that "M---" was an otherwise unrecorded younger sister of Agnon [VI]’s mother. There appear to be two other possibilities: either Artaud’s wife was the daughter of an otherwise unrecorded younger daughter of Guy [III] Comte de Forez, or she was the granddaughter of a younger sibling of Comte Guy [III]. The former is the most likely possibility: all the other beneficiaries under the Jun 1270 testament of Renaud Comte de Forez were descendants of his grandfather, and it seems unlikely that Comte Renaud would have considered it necessary to provide in his testament for another family representative who was descended from his great-grandfather. In conclusion, until further information comes to light, if the relationship between the Roussillon and Forez families was through Artaud [IV] de Roussillon’s wife, it is likely that she was the daughter of an otherwise unrecorded younger daughter of Guy [III] Comte de Forez. Turning to the Roussillon/Genève family connection, this is suggested by an undated charter under which "Amédée de Genève Evesque de Die" (identified as the son of Comte Guillaume [II]) is called "oncle d’Amédée de Roussillon" (who was a younger son of Artaud [IV] Seigneur de Roussillon)[1627]. The testament of "Thomas de Sabaudia primogenitus…domini Thomæ de Sabaudia comitis", dated 14 May 1282, which names "consanguineum meum R. patrem dominum Aymarum archiepiscopum Lugdunensem" (the latter identified as another younger son of Artaud [IV] Seigneur de Roussillon) also indicates a connection as the relationship with the Savoie family was presumably through the comtes de Genéve[1628]. Vachez approaches a conclusion when he states that Artaud [IV]’s wife was "Marie de Genève, fille de Guillaume Comte de Genève et de Marie ou Alix de la Tour"[1629]. However, his explanation is contradictory and confusing. He asserts firstly that the marriage of Artaud [IV] with "Marie" was childless (nullifying completely his explanation for the relationship which is stated in the undated charter) and secondly that Artaud’s children were born from a supposed second marriage with "Artaude de Forez, fille de Guy IV comte de Forez", presumably in an attempt to explain the presence of Guillaume de Roussillon in the Jun 1270 testament of Renaud Comte de Forez. The major problem with identifying Guillaume [II] Comte de Genève as the father of "M---" is the number of children attributed to Comte Guillaume and his known wife which makes it difficult to explain why "M---" and her descendants should have been singled out in relation to the Forez inheritance. However, this difficulty would be resolved if the daughter of Guy [III] Comte de Forez was the first wife of Comte Guillaume, and the mother of a single daughter, her husband marrying again after she died. If all these speculations are correct, Artaud’s wife would be M---, daughter of Guillaume [II] Comte de Genève] & his [first] wife --- de Forez. It should be emphasised that this conclusion is speculative and that other alternatives are possible, particularly if the Roussillon/Forez family connection was through Artaud [IV] himself. One last point concerns the title "comitissa" accorded to Artaud’s wife in the 1251 and 1274 sources which are quoted above. There are two possible explanations. Firstly, the word could suggest that "M---" was the widow of an unidentified "comes" when she married Artaud, and retained the title as a matter of courtesy after her [second] marriage. It is unlikely that she would have held the title in her own right as heiress to a "comes", as there is no record of the title being transmitted to her son. Secondly, if she was related to the Genève family, "comitissa" could have been a corruption of "Contesson/Comtessone", a family nickname which was used by "Beatrix dite Comtessone" another possible daughter of Guillaume [II] Comte de Genève.

Artaud [IV] & his wife had five children:

1. GUILLAUME ([before 1239]-Château d'Annonay 21 Dec 1277, bur Notre-Dame [Vienne]). A charter dated May 1251 records the donation to the priory of Saint-Sauveur-en-Rue of "molendinum de Givret juxta las Moleyres" and the appointment of "dominum Artaudum et Vuilielmum filium suum de Rossilion et Guigoni Pagani dominum d’Argentau" as guarantors, witnessed by "domina M. comitissa uxor prædicti domini Artaudi de Rossilion"[1630]. "Artaud seigneur de Roussillon" donated "ses châteaux de Roussillon, Surieu, Riverie, Dargoire, du péage de Roussillon, de tout ce qu’il a à Saint-Romain en Jarez et de la garde Mornant" to "son fils Guillaume", reserving the usufruct for life, by charter dated 21 Jul 1260, officialised at Lyon by charter dated 7 Jun 1264[1631]. "Artaud seigneur de Roussillon" emancipated "son fils Guillaume" and granted him "son château dit Castrum Novum" by charter dated 10 Feb 1257 (O.S.)[1632]. "Artaud sire de Roussillon…Aymar, Amédée, Alyse et Beatrix ses enfants" donated their rights "sur la succession de feu Guy comte de Forez" to "Guillaume fils dudit Artaud" by charter dated Nov 1262[1633]. A charter dated 1267 records a peace agreement between "dom. Guigonem dalphinum Viennensem" and "dom. Arthaudum de Rossilione et Guillelmum filium eius" concerning "castro Ruppis de Cluey", as part of the terms for ending the war waged by "Ay[mari] de Pictavia"[1634]. Seigneur de Roussillon et d’Annonay. The testament of "Raynaudus comes Forensis et dominus Bellijoci", dated Jun 1270, names "Guiotum filium meum…Ludovico filio meo clerico…Guidonem consanguinem meum dominum de Tyerno…canonicus Lugdunensis" (appointing the latter as heir in substitution) "Hugoni de Tyerno consanguineo meo fratri eiusdem canonici Guidonis…consanguineo meo domino Ano domino d’Oliergue…Guillelmo de Rossilione consanguineo meo…"[1635]. William of Tyre (Continuator) records "sire Guillaume de Roussillon" as one of the leaders at the siege of Acre in 1277[1636]. The testament of "Guillaume de Roussillon jadis sire d’Annonay", dated 11 Aug 1275, appointed "son fils Artaud" as his heir and was transcribed 3 Jan 1277 (O.S.) at the request of "Beatrix, veuve"[1637], the full document (in translation) bequeathed property to “Albert mon fils...Guillaume mon autre fils...Guigonne ma fille...Elionor ma fille...mes deux autres filles...Arthaude et Katherine soient faites moniales...dame Béatrix mon épouse...mon château de Châteauneuf...”, confirmed previous payment of dowry to “Alesie ma fille”, and named “Artaud mon fils premier né” as universal heir (with provisions until he reached 25 years of age), and appointed executors “...Aymard archévêque de Lyon et...Amédée abbé de Savigny mes frères”[1638]. Vachez reports that "d’après l’abbé Filhol" Guillaume died "au château d’Annonay" 21 Dec 1277 and was buried "dans l église de Notre-Dame", without citing the corresponding primary source[1639]. m BEATRIX de la Tour, daughter ALBERT [III] Seigneur de la Tour & his wife Beatrix de Coligny ([before 1240]-after 21 Sep 1280). A charter dated 8 Sep 1276 acknowledged receipt of money from "Beatrix de la Tour, femme de Guillaume de Roussillon sire d’Annonay, alors outre-mer" by "Guillaume abbé de Saint-Pierre"[1640]. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 21 Sep 1280 under which "Beatrix de Turre domina Rossillionis et Annoniaci, relicta bonæ memoriæ Dom. Guillielmi de Rossillone" donated property "in villa de Treves…in villa dominus Arthaudus de Laviaco", granted to him by "Arthaudo filio meo", and "medietatem villæ de Verceu quam pater meus dedit mihi in dotem" to the Cartusians to found the abbey of Sainte-Croix, confirmed by "Arthaudus de Rossillione filius et heres præfati domuni Guillelmi"[1641]. Guillaume & his wife had eight children:

a) ARTAUD [V] de Roussillon (-Annonay 1316, bur Annonay church des Cordeliers or Vienne Saint-Maurice). The testament of "Guillaume de Roussillon jadis sire d’Annonay", dated 11 Aug 1275, appointed "son fils Artaud" as his heir[1642]. Seigneur de Roussillon.

b) ALBERT (-after 1297). The testament of "Guillaume de Roussillon jadis sire d’Annonay", dated 11 Aug 1275, bequeathed property to “Albert mon fils...Guillaume mon autre fils...”[1643].

c) GUILLAUME (-after 11 Aug 1275). The testament of "Guillaume de Roussillon jadis sire d’Annonay", dated 11 Aug 1275, bequeathed property to “Albert mon fils...Guillaume mon autre fils...”[1644].

d) ALESIE (-after 11 Aug 1275). The testament of "Guillaume de Roussillon jadis sire d’Annonay", dated 11 Aug 1275, previous payment of dowry to “Alesie ma fille”[1645], suggesting that Alésie was married at the time. If that is correct, no record has been found of the name of her husband. m ([before 11 Aug 1275]) ---. .

e) GUIGONNE (-after 11 Aug 1275). The testament of "Guillaume de Roussillon jadis sire d’Annonay", dated 11 Aug 1275, bequeathed property to “...Guigonne ma fille...Elionor ma fille...mes deux autres filles...Arthaude et Katherine soient faites moniales...”[1646].

f) ELEONORE de Roussillon (-after 27 Apr 1332). The testament of "Guillaume de Roussillon jadis sire d’Annonay", dated 11 Aug 1275, bequeathed property to “...Guigonne ma fille...Elionor ma fille...mes deux autres filles...Arthaude et Katherine soient faites moniales...”[1647]. The testament of “Guigues Allemand seigneur de Valbonnais”, dated 11 Dec 1301, names “sa femme Eléonore de Roussillon, sœur d’Artaud, sa fille religieuse aux Ayes, de ses fils Artaud et Guillaume”, and appoints “son fils Jean” as his heir[1648]. It is assumed that Eléonore was the sister of Artaud [V] Seigneur de Roussillon, although this is not beyond all doubt. “Eléonore de Roussillon dame de Valbonnais et noble Jean Allemand son fils” granted property to “Guigues Borel, de Briançon...” by charter dated 14 May 1322[1649]. “Eléonore veuve de Guigues Alleman seigneur de Valbonnais” acknowledged a debt by charter dated 3 Aug 1326[1650]. The testament of “Guillaume Allemand chevalier seigneur de Valbonnais”, dated 27 Apr 1332, named “...sa mère Eléonore de Roussillon...”[1651]. m as his second wife, GUIGUES Alamandi Seigneur de Valbonnais, son of EUDES [Odon] [III] Alamandi Seigneur de Champ & his second wife Catherine --- (-[21 Aug 1317/25 Mar 1320]).

g) ARTAUDE de Roussillon (-after 11 Aug 1275). The testament of "Guillaume de Roussillon jadis sire d’Annonay", dated 11 Aug 1275, bequeathed property to “...Guigonne ma fille...Elionor ma fille...mes deux autres filles...Arthaude et Katherine soient faites moniales...”[1652]. The request that Artaude and Catherine become nuns suggests that they were still young children at the time, as entry into convent life would normally occur at a young age.

h) CATHERINE (-after 11 Aug 1275). The testament of "Guillaume de Roussillon jadis sire d’Annonay", dated 11 Aug 1275, bequeathed property to “...Guigonne ma fille...Elionor ma fille...mes deux autres filles...Arthaude et Katherine soient faites moniales...”[1653]. The request that Artaude and Catherine become nuns suggests that they were young children at the time, as entry into convent life would normally occur at a young age.

2. AYMAR de Roussillon (-[1282/83]). "Artaud sire de Roussillon…Aymar, Amédée, Alyse et Beatrix ses enfants" donated their rights "sur la succession de feu Guy comte de Forez" to "Guillaume fils dudit Artaud" by charter dated Nov 1262[1654]. Archbishop of Lyon 1274. The testament of "Guillaume de Roussillon jadis sire d’Annonay", dated 11 Aug 1275, appointed executors “...Aymard archévêque de Lyon et...Amédée abbé de Savigny mes frères”[1655]. Gallia Christiana records Aymar Archbishop of Lyon as "Ademarus de Roussillon...filius Artaldi IV domini de Rossilione frater Amedei Valentinensis et Diensis episcopi, Sabaudiæ, Burgundiæ et Genevæ comitum consanguineus"[1656], but does not indicate the primary source on which this information is based. However, the testament of "Thomas de Sabaudia primogenitus…domini Thomæ de Sabaudia comitis" dated 14 May 1282 appointed his children’s mother as tutor for his sons with the assistance of "consanguineum meum R. patrem dominum Aymarum archiepiscopum Lugdunensem et…"[1657]. It is assumed that "R." in this source is a mistake for "A." indicating "Artaudum".

3. AMEDEE de Roussillon (-after 1272). "Artaud sire de Roussillon…Aymar, Amédée, Alyse et Beatrix ses enfants" donated their rights "sur la succession de feu Guy comte de Forez" to "Guillaume fils dudit Artaud" by charter dated Nov 1262[1658]. Bishop of Valence 1270. Bishop of Die 1272. Abbé de Savigny: the testament of "Guillaume de Roussillon jadis sire d’Annonay", dated 11 Aug 1275, appointed executors “...Aymard archévêque de Lyon et...Amédée abbé de Savigny mes frères”[1659]. As noted above, his family connection is suggested by an (undated) charter under which "Amédée de Genève Evesque de Die" is called "oncle d’Amédée de Roussillon" his successor as bishop of Die[1660]. Gallia Christiana records Aymar Archbishop of Lyon as "Ademarus de Roussillon...filius Artaldi IV domini de Rossilione frater Amedei Valentinensis et Diensis episcopi, Sabaudiæ, Burgundiæ et Genevæ comitum consanguineus"[1661], but does not indicate the primary source on which this information is based.

4. ALIX de Roussillon (-after 10 Mar 1280). "Artaud sire de Roussillon…Aymar, Amédée, Alyse et Beatrix ses enfants" donated their rights "sur la succession de feu Guy comte de Forez" to "Guillaume fils dudit Artaud" by charter dated Nov 1262[1662]. Père Anselme names "Alazie ou Alix de Roussillon" as the wife of "Ponce Bastet damoiseau seigneur de Crussol" (whose descendants were later created vicomtes and ducs d’Uzès) adding that her dowry was "500 livres Viennoises" and that her testament dated 10 Mar 1280 appointed "Aymar de Roussillon archévêque de Lyon" as one of her executors[1663]. Anselme also states that her husband appointed "noble homme Raymond de Roussillon seigneur d’Annonay (son beau-père ou son beau-frère)" as "tuteur de ses enfants", and "l’évêque de Valence et l’abbé de S. Ruf" as executors, under his testament dated May 1272. Anselme adds that the couple’s son Géraud Bastet [II] Seigneur de Crussol was named as present in the marriage contract between "Aymar seigneur de Bressieu" and "Beatrix fille d’Artaut de Roussillon seigneur d’Annonay" dated 16 Jan 1304. All this information provides additional indications of a close connection with the Roussillon family, but Anselme cites no references to the primary sources which support any of his statements. m PONCE Bastet Seigneur de Crussol, son of BASTET Seigneur de Crussol & his wife Alazie [Alix] --- (-after May 1272).

The parentage of the following person has not been ascertained. It is unlikely that she was the daughter of Artaud [IV] Seigneur de Roussillon as she is not named in the charter dated Nov 1262 relating to the Forez inheritance (which names all his known children). It also seems unlikely that she was Artaude, daughter of Guillaume Seigneur de Roussillon, who was destined for the church under her father’s 11 Aug 1275 testament and, as suggested above, was probably a young child at the time. A connection with the Seigneurs d’Anjo is possible, although no other reference to the name Artaude in the junior branch of the Roussillon family. Other possibilities are that Artaude was the daughter of Artaud [IV] by an earlier marriage or that she was an illegitimate daughter of the family.

Her family origin and marriage are indicated by the charter dated 28 Dec 1288 under which "Artaud sire de Roussillon et d’Annonay" [identified as Artaud [V] Seigneur de Roussillon], in consideration of the future marriages of her daughters "Marguerite et d’Eléonore, filles de feu Etienne d’Oingt et Artaude de Roussillon, avec Guy et Guillemet, fils d’André d’Albon chevalier", renounced the "seigneuries de Châtillon d’Azergues, Bagnols, Saint-Forgeux et Saint-Romain de Popez"[1665]. m ETIENNE d’Oingt, son of --- (-before 28 Dec 1288).

Seigneur de Roussillon et d’Annonay. His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 21 Sep 1280 under which his mother "Beatrix de Turre domina Rossillionis et Annoniaci, relicta bonæ memoriæ Dom. Guillielmi de Rossillone" donated property "in villa de Treves…in villa dominus Arthaudus de Laviaco", granted to him by "Arthaudo filio meo", and "medietatem villæ de Verceu quam pater meus dedit mihi in dotem" to the Cartusians to found the abbey of Sainte-Croix, confirmed by "Arthaudus de Rossillione filius et heres præfati domuni Guillelmi"[1667].

a) ALIX de Roussillon ([1339/45?]-[11 Oct/24 Nov] 1367). The estimated date of birth of her husband suggests that Alix was born from her father’s second marriage, although the primary source which confirms that this is correct has not been identified.

Géraud was presumably living when he was named in the 18 Aug 1342 charter quoted below. His place of burial is confirmed by his wife’s 19 Jun 1347 testament. m JOURDANE de Tullins, daughter of GUY de Tullins & his first wife Beatrix de Montluel (-after 19 Jun 1347, bur Vienne Franciscan church). It is difficult to estimate the birth date of Jourdane: the 13 Feb 1319 (O.S.) charter quoted below suggests that she was an adolescent at the time, but the chronology of her son Aymar suggests that he was born several years before that date. A charter dated 13 Feb 1319 (O.S.) records the emancipation of “Jourdane de Tullins femme de Girard de Roussillon seigneur d’Anjou”[1733]. “Girard de Roussillon seigneur d’Anjou et Jourdane de Tullins son épouse” and “Guichard de Clérieu seigneur de la Roche-de-Glun et de Tullins et Humilie de Tullins sa femme” reached agreement about “[le] château de Beaucroissant, que les deux beaux-frères prétendaient leur avoir été donné par Guy de Tullins père de Jourdane et d’Humilie”, Guichard and his wife “prennent en charge Béatrix fille de Girard et de Jourdane, promettant de la marier et dôter suivant son rang” substituting one of her sisters if Béatrix died, by charter dated 24 Feb 1323 (O.S.)[1734]. “Girard de Roussillon et Jourdane son épouse” granted “leurs droits sur les châteaux et seigneuries de Tullins, Beaucoissant et Vourey, constitué en dot à Jourdane par son père Guy de Tullins”, to “leur fils Aimar” by charter dated 13 Jan 1333[1735].

Chapter 10. SEIGNEURS de ROYANS, SEIGNEURS de PONT-en-ROYANS

The seigneurie de Royans was situated south of the river Isère and north of Vercors, straddling the banks of the river Bourne, about 30 kilometres south-west of Grenoble. Today the area lies across the boundary between the départements of Isère and Drôme, arrondissements Grenoble and Valence, cantons Pont-en-Royans and Saint-Jean-en-Royans.

Records of the seigneurie emerge from primary sources in the late-12th century. The lordship passed by marriage to the Bérenger family, which in the 1330s inherited the seigneurie de Sassenage. A charter dated to the 1150s suggests a relationship between the Seigneurs de Domaine and the Bérenger: “Guigo de Domina filius domini Pontii Ainardi” fell ill while in Italy “ad curiam Imperatoris”, was taken to “castellum...Exilium” with “milites...Vuidonem de Castellonovo consanguineum suum et Guigonem Garinum de Geria...Vuillelmum Leuzum et Mattheum de Petra armigerum suum” where he donated property to Domène, with the consent of “filia sua uxor Rodulfi de Fulciniaco et uxor sua...Audisia et dominus Raymundus Berengarius frater suus”[1758]. Chorier identifies the last named person as “Raimon Berenger I Prince de Royans”[1759].

Chorier purports to record earlier ancestry, not reproduced below, which supposedly links the Bérenger with the Comtes de Forez but which appears unsupported by primary sources. He names “Hector Seigneur Souverain de Sassenage tige de la première race de ce nom et Ismidon Prince de Royans tige de la seconde” as sons of “Artaud III Comte de Lion et de Forests” (see the document BURGUNDY KINGDOM-FOREZ & LYON), citing “de tres anciens cartulaires et entre autres, celui de l’abbaie de S. André le bas de Vienne”[1760]. In a later passage, Chorier cites a series of charters from Vienne Saint-André[1761], although nothing in those documents indicates any connection with the comital family of Forez (an opinion shared by Ulysse Chevalier[1762]). Even the later generations reported by Chorier appear inconsistent with what few primary sources have been found which relate to the Bérenger family. The inconsistencies are noted below.

A. SEIGNEURS de ROYANS

1. FRANÇOIS de Royans (-after [1095]). Pope Urban II threatened “G[uillaum] de Clérieu et François de Royans [Roanis]” if they failed to repair damage done to the church of Romans by charter dated to [1095][1763].

1. GUIDELIN de Royans (-after Dec 1174). Seigneur de Royans. "Guedelinus de Royans et filii eius" donated property "in Montana vel territorio de Muson" [Muzan], with the consent of "uxoris sue Flote…Guigonis, Bertrandi [et] aliorum filiorum", by charter dated [6/27] Dec 1174[1764]. He is named in the 1 Jun 1185 which names his daughter, quoted below. The wording is not precise enough to confirm whether Guidelin was alive or deceased at the time. m FLOTTE, daughter of --- (-after Dec 1174). "Guedelinus de Royans et filii eius" donated property "in Montana vel territorio de Muson" [Muzan], with the consent of "uxoris sue Flote…Guigonis, Bertrandi [et] aliorum filiorum", by charter dated [6/27] Dec 1174[1765]. Guidelin & his wife had [four or more] children:

a) GUIGUES . "Guedelinus de Royans et filii eius" donated property "in Montana vel territorio de Muson" [Muzan], with the consent of "uxoris sue Flote…Guigonis, Bertrandi [et] aliorum filiorum", by charter dated [6/27] Dec 1174[1766].

b) BERTRAND . "Guedelinus de Royans et filii eius" donated property "in Montana vel territorio de Muson" [Muzan], with the consent of "uxoris sue Flote…Guigonis, Bertrandi [et] aliorum filiorum", by charter dated [6/27] Dec 1174[1767].

c) sons . "Guedelinus de Royans et filii eius" donated property "in Montana vel territorio de Muson" [Muzan], with the consent of "uxoris sue Flote…Guigonis, Bertrandi [et] aliorum filiorum", by charter dated [6/27] Dec 1174[1768].

d) --- de Royans (-after 1 Jun 1185). “Lantelmus de Gigorz” donated property to Léoncel, with the approval of “uxor mea filia Guielini de Roias”, by charter dated 1 Jun 1185[1769]. m LANTELME de Gigors, son of --- (-after 1 Jun 1185).

2. FRANÇOIS de Royans . Seigneur de Royans. m ---. The name of François’s wife is not known. François & his wife had one child:

a) RAYMONDE (-after 1204). "Domine Reymonde filie Francisci domini de Royanis, uxor Reymondi Berengari" donated revenue, relating to property owned by "dominum Castri Duplicis", to Léoncel by charter dated 1204[1770]. m RAYMOND Bérenger [II], son of --- ([1160/70?]-after 1 Apr 1221).

B. SEIGNEURS de ROYANS, SEIGNEURS de PONT-en-ROYANS (BERENGER)

Two brothers, parents not identified, who represent the earliest members of the Bérenger family who have so far been identified with certainty. No source has been found which indicates that they were related to the earlier family of Seigneurs de Royans shown above nor, despite Chorier’s assertions noted below, that they held the seigneurie de Royans.

1. RAYMOND Bérenger [I] ([1115/25?]-after Nov 1189). Chorier identifies him as “Raymond Berenger I Prince de Royans” son of “Berenger Prince de Royans”[1771]. However, Royans only entered the family later with the marriage of Raymond Bérenger [II] (see below). A charter dated to [1173/79] records the settlement of a dispute between the church of Die and “Raymundum Berengarii” regarding the donation made by “Raymundus Berengarii frater eius tunc canonicus ecclesie Diensis”[1772]. Seigneur de Morges: Hugues III Duke of Burgundy granted “le fief que tenait de lui Arnaud de Morges et son frère Pierre” to “Raymond Bérenger” by charter dated Nov 1189[1773]. The following document presumably refers to Raymond Bérenger [I], although the question is not without doubt: a charter dated 13 Nov 1252 records that “Ufred ou Vuffred abbé d’Entremont” attested that “Guillaume comte de Genevois à son lit de mort” had confessed that “les châteaux de Prébois et de Foilans” owed him homage and that “Raymond Bérenger, durant la maladie dont il mourut” acknowledged the wrong he had done and returned these properties to him, and that he believed that “le château de Morges, à l’exception de la tour des Alamands, ceux de Pellafol et de Tréminis et la vallée de Chichiliane faisaient partie de son fief”[1774]. The lies in identifying “Guillaume Comte de Genevois”. He was presumably Guillaume [I] Comte de Genève, who died 25 Jul 1196, not Comte Guillaume [II] who died 25 Nov 1252, after the date of this charter (see the document BURGUNDY KINGDOM-GENEVOIS). If that is correct, the abbé’s attestation may have been made some years before the charter was dated. m SIBYLLE, daughter of --- (-after 1178). She is named as wife of Raymond Bérenger and mother of Beatrix in the 1178 charter quoted below. No indication has been found of her family origin, but a connection with the earlier Morges family appears possible which could explain the Nov 1189 grant to her husband. Raymond Bérenger [I] & his wife had one child:

a) BEATRIX ([1145?]-after 1178). A charter dated 1178 records the settlement of a dispute between the church of Die and “Guigo de Chasenage et uxor mea Beatrix filia Sibillæ...uxoris domini Raymundi Berengarii...filiis eorum” regarding the donation of “castrum de Foilans...et medietatem castri de Torana”[1775]. The reference to “filiis eorum” suggests that Beatrix married at least ten years before this charter. The absence of reference to Beatrix’s brothers suggests that she was her father’s sole heiress. m GUIGUES [II] de Sassenage, son of --- ([1140?]-[11 Mar] after 1193).

2. RAYMOND Bérenger (-[after 1178]). Canon at Die. A charter dated to [1173/79] records the settlement of a dispute between the church of Die and “Raymundum Berengarii” regarding the donation made by “Raymundus Berengarii frater eius tunc canonicus ecclesie Diensis”[1776]. A charter dated [10] Oct 1179 records that “Le chanoine de Die Raymond Bérenger” had donated “les châteaux de Foillans, Tréminis et Prébois...et la moitié de celui de Thorane” to his church, which was later disputed by “[son neveu] Guigues de Sassenage et son épouse Béatrix, fille de Sibylle”, and the settlement of the dispute[1777]. A charter dated [1 Feb] [1182/83] records that Robert Bishop of Die reached agreement with the chapter regarding property “dans le Trièves [Trevis]...Prébois...Thorane ...Tréminis...Foilans” donated by “[le] clerc Raymond Bérenger”[1778].

Chorier identifies “Raymond Berenger II Seigneur souverain du Pont en Royans” as son of “Raymond Berenger I Prince de Royans”[1779]. It seems unlikely that he is correct given the involvement of the Raymond Bérenger [I]’s daughter and son-in-law Guigues [II] de Sassenage in the 1178 charter quoted above, which suggests that his daughter was his sole heiress. One possibility is that Raymond Bérenger [II] was the son of Raymond Bérenger [I]’s daughter and her husband, the name “Guigues” given to his son (as well as his inheritance of Morges) suggesting that this speculation might be correct. The chronology appears favorable, as shown by the approximate birth dates of the individuals concerned, working back from later generations. No source has been found which indicates that Raymond Bérenger [II] held the seigneurie de Royans, other than his marriage to a member of the earlier Royans family, despite Chorier’s assertions.

RAYMOND Bérenger [II] ([1160/70?]-after 1 Apr 1221). “...R[aymond] Bérenger” are named as judges in a dispute between “Guillaume d’Aurel, Guillaume Peloux et Arbert de Montclar” by charter dated 1 Jun 1193[1780]. A charter dated 1203 records an agreement between “Albert de la Tour et Guillaume de Beauvoir”, in the presence of “...R[aymond] Bérenger, O[don] et G[uigues] Alamanni”[1781]. “Raymond Bérenger [du Trièves]” sold “le château de Châteaudouble” to Aymar [II] Comte de Valentinois by charter dated 1 Apr 1221[1782]. Chorier identifies the seller as “Raymond Berenger II Seigneur souverain du Pont en Royans”[1783]. m RAYMONDE de Royans, daughter of FRANÇOIS Seigneur de Royans & his wife --- (-after 1204). "Domine Reymonde filie Francisci domini de Royanis, uxor Reymondi Berengari" donated revenue, relating to property owned by "dominum Castri Duplicis", to Léoncel by charter dated 1204[1784].

Raymond Bérenger [II] & his wife had [six] children:

1. PIERRE Bérenger de Morges (-[13 Jun 1253/26 Feb 1258]). His parentage is confirmed by the 26 Feb 1258 charter quoted below under his son. “Pierre de Morges chevalier” acknowledged holding “le château de Gua (Vado)...” and “tout ce qu’il a acquis de son frère Raymond Bérenger en échange de Peyrins” from Guigues Dauphin de Viennois by charter dated 13 Jun 1253[1785].

- see below.

2. RAYMOND Bérenger [III] de Royans ([1195/1205?]-[1256/26 Feb 1258]). His parentage is confirmed by the judgment issued by “Guigo Dalphinus Vienn. et Albonis comes arbiter”, dated 26 Feb 1258, settled the dispute between “Raymundum Berengarii filium quondam Guigonis Berengarii” and “Fromundum filium quondam Petri de Morgiis” concerning the inheritance of “Raymundi avi ipsius Fromundi et dicti Raymundi”, who had left “tribus filiis...Petro de Morgiis patre dict. Fromundi, et Raymundo Berengarii de Royans, et Guigone patre dict. Raymundi” [the Regeste Dauphinois adds “...et 3 filles”, presumably from another version of the charter] between whom the succession had been split three ways and was later disputed[1786]. His family connection is further confirmed by the 13 Jun 1253 charter quoted above under his brother Pierre Bérenger.

- see below.

3. GUIGUES Bérenger [I] ). His parentage is confirmed by the 26 Feb 1258 charter cited below under his son.

- SEIGNEURS de MORGES.

4. [three daughters . As noted above under their supposed brother Raymond Bérenger [III], the summary of the 26 Feb 1258 charter in the Regeste Dauphinois indicates that “Raymundi avi ipsius Fromundi et dicti Raymundi” also left “...et 3 filles” in addition to the three sons named above, presumably based on a different version of the document from the one reproduced by Valbonnais (the one quoted above).]

“Guidelin”, shown below, was named as father of Raimbaud Bérenger in the 1234 charter quoted below. His name suggests a connection with the earlier family of Seigneurs de Royans shown in the first part of the present section, although the chronology does not appear favorable for Raymond Bérenger [II] and his wife Raymonde de Royans (see above) to have been Guidelin’s parents. Maybe his mother was another otherwise unrecorded member of the earlier Royans family. Chorier names “Raimon Berenger I Prince de Royans” as father of Raimbaud Bérenger[1787], which is disproved by the 1234 document. The precise circumstances in which Raimbaud Bérenger acquired the seigneurie de Royans have not been ascertained. None of Raimbaud’s [three] brothers shown below were named by Chorier.

1. GUIDELIN . He is named as father of Raimbaud Bérenger in the 1234 charter quoted below. No document has been found which names Guidelin in his own capacity. m ---. The name of Guidelin’s wife is not known. Guidelin & his wife had [four or more] children:

a) RAIMBAUD Bérenger de Royans "Ossassica" ([before 1185?]-before Feb 1234). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 1234 under which his daughter "Flota filia quondam Ocreesicce" confirmed donations to Léoncel by "Guidelinus avus meus et filii sui…pater meus et ceteri fratres"[1788]. Seigneur de Royans. m ([1207/09?]) as her second husband, ALASIE de la Tour, widow of DRODON de Beauvoir, daughter of ALBERT [II] de la Tour du Pin & his wife Marie d'Auvergne ([1185/93?]-after Mar 1249, bur abbaye de Bonnevaux). The testament of “Flote [dame de Royans]”, dated Dec 1231, appointed “sa mère Alays” as universal heir, naming “Adhemarius de Poitiers son fils, qu’elle avait eu de Guillaume de Poitiers son mari” as substitute[1789]. Under her testament dated Mar 1249, "Alays de Roians, domina castri Sancti Johannis de Bornay, uxor quondam nobilis viri dom Ose Sicce" elected burial "apud…monasterium Bone Vallis", donated property for the anniversary of “nobilis viri quondam domi Drodoni de Bello Visu primi mariti mei”, bequeathed property to "Dom^e Sibille uxori nobilis viri domⁱ Audemari de Pictavia, nepotis mei…nobilem dom^am Flotam filiam meam…Ugone nepoti meo de Turre, senescalco Lugdunensi" and also names "fratre meo dom^e Alberto de Turre"[1790]. Raimbaud Bérenger & his wife had one child:

i) FLOTTE de Royans ([1208/10?]-after Jun 1257). "Willelmus de Pictavia filius domini Ademari comitis Valentini" donated property to Léoncel 17 Mar 1224, recorded in a charter dated Feb 1234 which also records the confirmation by "domina Flote filia quondam Ocree Sicce et uxor Willelmi de Pictavi predicti"[1791]. Her second marriage is confirmed by the charter dated 9 Oct 1231 under which "Aymo dominus Fuciniaci" mortgaged "castrum de Cresta…dotis dominæ Flotæ uxoris suæ…quondam fuit uxor Willelmi de Pictavia" to "W…electo Valentino"[1792]. The testament of “Flote [dame de Royans]”, dated Dec 1231, appointed “sa mère Alays” as universal heir, naming “Adhemarius de Poitiers son fils, qu’elle avait eu de Guillaume de Poitiers son mari” as substitute[1793]. "Flota filia quondam Ocreesicce" confirmed donations to Léoncel by "Guidelinus avus meus et filii sui…pater meus et ceteri fratres" by charter dated 1234[1794]. Dame de Royans: “Flote dame du Royans fille de feu Ozasicha seigneur du Royans” confirmed donations made by her father to Val-Ste-Marie “du pas de Piafret aux portes d’Urle...” by charter dated 10 Nov 1236[1795]. Her name is confirmed by the charter dated 10 Apr 1244 under which "Aymar de Poitiers III comte de Valentinois, fils de feu Guillaume et de Florie" agreed the betrothal of his daughter (see below)[1796]. Under her testament dated Mar 1249, "Alays de Roians, domina castri Sancti Johannis de Bornay, uxor quondam nobilis viri dom Ose Sicce" bequeathes property to "Dom^e Sibille uxori nobilis viri domⁱ Audemari de Pictavia, nepotis mei…nobilem dom^am Flotam filiam meam…"[1797]. "Flota domina de Roianis, uxor quondam…Willelmi de Pictavia et mater…Aymari de Pictavia comitis Valentini" recorded a dispute involving the monks of Léoncel by charter dated Jun 1257[1798]. m firstly ([1224/27?]) GUILLAUME [II] Comte de Valentinois, son of AYMAR de Poitiers Comte de Valentinois & his wife Philippa de Fay dame de Clérieu (31 Jan 1202-1227 before Jun). m secondly (contract 9 Oct 1231) as his second wife, AYMON [II] Seigneur de Faucigny, son of HENRI Seigneur de Faucigny & his wife Comtesson de Genève (-[Apr/Oct] 1253). sons . Their parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 1234 under which his daughter "Flota filia quondam Ocreesicce" confirmed donations to Léoncel by "Guidelinus avus meus et filii sui…pater meus et ceteri fratres"[1799].

b) [A--- [Guidelin] [Bérenger] (-after 4 Aug 1237). Seigneur de Royans. “A. Guelini seigneur de Royans” donated property “du pas de Piafret” to Val-Ste-Marie by charter dated 4 Aug 1237[1800]. Assuming that “Guelini” was a patronymic, this person could have been the brother of Raimbaud Bérenger “Ossassica”. If that is correct, presumably he is called “seigneur de Royans” because he challenged the exclusive succession of “Ossassica”’s daughter Flotte.]

c) GUIDELIN (-before 22 Jul 1251). Abbot of Léoncel. "G. dalphinus Viennensis et Albonis comes" confirmed donations to Léoncel by "A. pater noster" by charter dated 22 Jul 1251, which names "nobilis vir quondam Gucelinus de Roians Poncio quondam abbati dicti loci"[1801].]

d) [son . The precise parentage of Bertrand has not been ascertained. His son is named “patrueli” of Flotte de Royans in the Feb 1234 charter quoted below, which suggests that he was the son of her “patruus”. m ---.] One child:

i) BERTRAND de Royans (-after Feb 1234). "Willelmus de Pictavia filius domini Ademari comitis Valentini" donated property to Léoncel 17 Mar 1224, recorded in a charter dated Feb 1234 which also records the confirmation by "domina Flote filia quondam Ocree Sicce et uxor Willelmi de Pictavi predicti...mediantibus Bertrando der Roins patrueli domine predicte..."[1802].

RAYMOND Bérenger [III] de Royans, son of RAYMOND Bérenger [II] & his wife --- ([1195/1205?]-[1256/58]). His parentage is confirmed by the judgment issued by “Guigo Dalphinus Vienn. et Albonis comes arbiter”, dated 26 Feb 1258, settled the dispute between “Raymundum Berengarii filium quondam Guigonis Berengarii” and “Fromundum filium quondam Petri de Morgiis” concerning the inheritance of “Raymundi avi ipsius Fromundi et dicti Raymundi”, who had left “tribus filiis...Petro de Morgiis patre dict. Fromundi, et Raymundo Berengarii de Royans, et Guigone patre dict. Raymundi” [the Regeste Dauphinois adds “...et 3 filles”, presumably from another version of the charter] between whom the succession had been split three ways and was later disputed[1803]. His family connection is further confirmed by the 13 Jun 1253 charter quoted under his brother Pierre Bérenger. A charter dated 23 Oct 1279 records that, after “Pierre de Morges” was captured by “Osasiccha” [Raimbaud Bérenger Seigneur de Royans, see above], the canons of Die sent representatives to secure his land “qui étaient de leur domaine” and that Pierre swore homage to the bishop of Die in the presence of “Raymond Berengarii de Royans, Izoard d’Aix et Guillaume de Clot”, the events dated to before 1236[1804]. Chorier says that “Arnaud de Rancurel”, in his testament dated 1236, named “Raymond Bérenger [II]” [presumably =Raymond Bérenger [III]] and “Raynaud son fils” [document not found][1805]. Chorier records his testament dated 1256, which names “François Evêque de Grenoble” as executor but does not name his sons [document not found][1806], an omission which is consistent with the later documents quoted below which regulated his succession. He is recorded (as “de Royans”) as deceased in the 1258 charter of his sons quoted below.

m VACQUERIE [Adémar, daughter of LAMBERT Adémar de Monteil Seigneur de Garde & his wife Tiburge de Baux] (-after 8 Mar 1261). She is named in the 8 Mar 1260 (O.S.) document quoted below. Chorier says “je crois qu’elle était fille de Lambert Ademar II Seigneur de Monteil et de la Garde”[1807]. The primary source which confirms this information has not been identified, although this parentage could explain the name given to the couple’s second son. Europäische Stammtafeln records this parentage and marriage[1808].

Raymond Bérenger [III] & his wife had four children:

1. RAYNAUD Bérenger ([1225/35]-after 1278). As noted above, Chorier says that “Arnaud de Rancurel”, in his testament dated 1236, named “Raymond Bérenger [II]” [presumably =Raymond Bérenger [III]] and “Raynaud son fils” [document not found][1809]. “Raynaud, Lambert et Chabert Bérenger frères héritiers de Raymond Bérenger de Royans” granted proxy to “leur frère utérin Hugues Bérenger de l’ordre des frères Mineurs” to divide the inheritance of “leur père” by charter dated 1258[1810]. Seigneur de Pont-en-Royans: “Hugues Bérenger frère Mineur” divided the territories of “son père Raymond Bérenger de Royans” by proxy granted by “ses frères”, with “Raynaud” receiving “les châteaux de Pont[-en-Royans], de Rencurel...Barbières...et de Châtelus” (the last named after he paid “la dot de leur mère Vacheria”) by charter dated 8 Mar 1260 (O.S.)[1811]. A charter dated Jul 1268 records an agreement between “Rainaldum Berengarii domini de Rancurello” and Ecouges regarding control over property “nemorum sitorum a fonte de Drevenes...ad fontem Quinzonis usque ad rivum Bruient”[1812]. Chorier says that Raynaud Bérenger sold “[la terre] de Prébois” to “Guigue Berenger Seigneur de Morges son cousin” by charter dated 1276 [document not found][1813]. Chorier says that, as Seigneur de Rancurel, Raynaud settled a dispute with the prior of Ecouge by charter dated 1278 [document not found][1814]. m ---. The name of Raynaud’s wife is not known: Raynaud & his wife had one child:

a) AYMAR Bérenger ([1260/70]-[17 Sep 1315/1318?]). Chorier records his parentage without citing the source which confirms the information[1815]. Seigneur de Pont-en-Royans. Courcelles says that Aymar Bérenger “transigea en 1288 avec Lambert son oncle au sujet de la possessions des terres de Rancurel, de Chapeverse et de Saint-André” (no source citation)[1816]. The testament of “Aymard de Beranger Seigneur du Pont en Royans”, dated 17 Sep 1315, bequeathed property to “Hugonnet his son...château de Chapereux and the Bastie de St. André...his son Henri from his marriage to Beatrix de Sassenage to...Pont-en-Royans, Rencurel...”[1817]. m firstly ALIX [de Bressieux, daughter of AYMAR Seigneur de Bressieu & his wife ---]. The charter dated 6 Sep 1322, quoted below, names “Alasie” as mother of Aymar’s first wife, and names “Aimar de Bressieu...” among the guarantors[1818]. Chorier records her marriage and names “Aymar Seigneur de Bressieu” as her father, without citing the source which confirms the information[1819]. The primary source which confirms her parentage has not been identified. m secondly (contract 3 Aug 1301) as her first husband, BEATRIX de Sassenage, daughter of FRANÇOIS Seigneur de Sassenage & his wife Agnes de Joinville-Gex (-after 1330). Their marriage contract is dated 3 Aug 1301[1820]. The testament of “Agnes de Jacz”, dated 24 Sep 1312, bequeathed property to “...Beatrix her daughter wife of Seigneur Aymard de Beranger...”[1821]. She married secondly ([1318/20?]) as his second wife, Guy Seigneur de Tullins. Her second marriage is confirmed by the following documents: “Beatrix de Sassenage veuve d’Aymar Berengarii seigneur de Pont-en-Royans et du château de Rencurel, jadis dame de Tullins et de Rencurel” disputed the right of the prior of Ecouges to cut wood “dans le bois del Turron”, “Guy de Tullins mari de Beatrix” reaching a compromise which would be approved by “Beatrix et son fils Henri seigneur du château de Pont-en-Royans”, by charter dated 4 Jan 1322[1822]. “Beatrix de Sassenage épouse du seigneur de Tullins et dame de Rencurel, son père François seigneur de Sassenage tuteur d’Henri Berengarii fils de feu Aymar Berengarii et de Beatrix, seigneur de Pont-en-Royans et du château de Rencurel” confirmed the agreement dated 4 Jan [1322], by charter dated 8 Feb 1322[1823]. The testament of François de Sassenage, dated 15 Apr 1328, bequeathed property to “his daughter Béatrix widow of Seigneur Aymar de Béranger, Seigneur du Pont en Royans...” and named “François Béranger son of Dame Béatrix...and Aymard de Béranger Seigneur du Pont...his brother Henry de Béranger...” as successive substitute heirs[1824]. [She married thirdly (1330) Bertrand Bérenger Seigneur de Feuillans et de Tréminis. Chorier records her third marriage (which he calls Beatrix’s second marriage) in 1330, without citing the source which confirms the information[1825]. This information appears incompatible with Bertrand’s known wife Marguerite de Hautvillard being his widow in 1363. One possible explanation is that Bertrand married three times, his first wife being the mother of his three daughters, his second wife Béatrix de Sassenage, and his third Marguerite.] Aymar & his first wife had [seven or more] children:

i) HUGUES [Hugonet] Bérenger (-after 31 Jan 1350). The testament of “Aymard de Beranger Seigneur du Pont en Royans”, dated 17 Sep 1315, bequeathed property to “Hugonnet his son...château de Chapereux and the Bastie de St. André...”[1826]. Seigneur de Saint-André-en-Royans et de Chapeverse. A charter dated 6 Sep 1322 records an agreement between “François seigneur de Sassenage, tuteur des enfants du second lit d’Aimar Bérenger, savoir Henri son héritier général” and “Hugonet Bérenger, frère Chabert Bérenger, de l’ordre de Saint-Antoine, pour eux et leurs frères et sœurs, nés du premier mariage dudit Aimar Bérenger”, including arrangements for “Catherine religieuse” to receive her legacy and payments “sur la dot d’Alasie leur mère, sous la garantie d’Aimar de Bressieu...” and others, by charter dated 6 Sep 1322, witnessed by “Drodon de Sassenage prieur de Beaumont...”[1827]. The marriage contract between “Henri Berengarii seigneur de Pont-en-Royans” and “Hugonette fille de feu Hugues de la Tour chevalier seigneur de Vinay”, with “...Hugonet Berengarii sr de St-André...” acting as guarantors for Henri, is dated 7 Jan 1336[1828]. Seigneur de Baix: Dauphin Humbert ceded “sa maison de Baix et Baix-sur-Baix” to “Hugonet Béranger seigneur de St.André-en-Royans...sa femme Eléonore de Balone” in exchange for “les châteaux de Chapeverse et la bâtie de St-André-en-Royans”, by charter dated 25 May 1343[1829]. The testament of “Henry...Seigneur de Sassenage”, dated 31 Jan 1350, names “Chabert de Bérenger commandeur de Liège his brother and Hugue de la Tour wife of the testator” as guardians of his children[1830]. m ELEONORE de Balone, daughter of --- (-after 25 May 1343). Dauphin Humbert ceded “sa maison de Baix et Baix-sur-Baix” to “Hugonet Béranger seigneur de St.André-en-Royans...sa femme Eléonore de Balone” in exchange for “les châteaux de Chapeverse et la bâtie de St-André-en-Royans”, by charter dated 25 May 1343[1831].

ii) CHABERT Bérenger (-after 1353). A charter dated 6 Sep 1322 records an agreement between “François seigneur de Sassenage, tuteur des enfants du second lit d’Aimar Bérenger, savoir Henri son héritier général” and “Hugonet Bérenger, frère Chabert Bérenger, de l’ordre de Saint-Antoine, pour eux et leurs frères et sœurs, nés du premier mariage dudit Aimar Bérenger”, including arrangements for “Catherine religieuse” to receive her legacy and payments “sur la dot d’Alasie leur mère, sous la garantie d’Aimar de Bressieu...” and others, by charter dated 6 Sep 1322, witnessed by “Drodon de Sassenage prieur de Beaumont...”[1832].

iii) [CATHERINE Bérenger . Chorier records her parentage and marriage without citing the corresponding source[1833]. This information seems unlikely to be correct, considering that this couple’s son was recorded as married in 1312. m PIERRE Bérenger [I] Seigneur de Morges, son of GUIGUES Bérenger [II] Seigneur de Morges & his wife Béatrix d’Albon (-after 7 Jul 1(-[7 Jul 1312/21 Oct 1317]).]

iv) CATHERINE Bérenger . Nun: a charter dated 6 Sep 1322 records an agreement between “François seigneur de Sassenage, tuteur des enfants du second lit d’Aimar Bérenger, savoir Henri son héritier général” and “Hugonet Bérenger, frère Chabert Bérenger, de l’ordre de Saint-Antoine, pour eux et leurs frères et sœurs, nés du premier mariage dudit Aimar Bérenger”, including arrangements for “Catherine religieuse” to receive her legacy and payments “sur la dot d’Alasie leur mère, sous la garantie d’Aimar de Bressieu...” and others, by charter dated 6 Sep 1322, witnessed by “Drodon de Sassenage prieur de Beaumont...”[1834].

v) other sons and daughter(s) . Referred to, but not named, in the 6 Sep 1322 charter cited above.

Aymar & his second wife had children:

vi) FRANÇOIS Bérenger (-after 15 Apr 1328). The reason for François’s omission from his father’s 17 Sep 1315 testament, which names his younger brother Henri, is unclear. François was also not named in his mother’s 4 Jan 1322 charter quoted below (which names “Beatrix et son fils Henri seigneur du château de Pont-en-Royans”[1835]) or in the 6 Sep 1322 of François Seigneur de Sassenage charter quoted above. Nevertheless, his maternal grandfather’s 15 Apr 1328 testament indicates that François must have been living at the time and that he must have been senior to Henri. Could François have been by-passed in his father’s succession for some reason (rebellion, incapacity?), a difficulty which was overcome by the time his maternal grandfather wrote his testament? The testament of François de Sassenage, dated 15 Apr 1328, bequeathed property to “his daughter Béatrix widow of Seigneur Aymar de Béranger, Seigneur du Pont en Royans...” and named “François Béranger son of Dame Béatrix...and Aymard de Béranger Seigneur du Pont...his brother Henry de Béranger...” as successive substitute heirs[1836].

vii) HENRI Bérenger (-27 Feb, 1350 or after, bur Saint-Robert). The testament of “Aymard de Beranger Seigneur du Pont en Royans”, dated 17 Sep 1315, bequeathed property to “...his son Henri from his marriage to Beatrix de Sassenage to...Pont-en-Royans, Rencurel...”[1837]. The testament of François de Sassenage, dated 15 Apr 1328, bequeathed property to “his daughter Béatrix widow of Seigneur Aymar de Béranger, Seigneur du Pont en Royans...” and named “François Béranger son of Dame Béatrix...and Aymard de Béranger Seigneur du Pont...his brother Henry de Béranger...” as successive substitute heirs[1838]. He adopted the name “Sassenage” on succeeding his maternal uncle in [Dec 1338/Apr 1339] as Seigneur de Sassenage.

viii) PHILIPPINE Bérenger (-after 31 Jan 1350). The testament of “Henry...Seigneur de Sassenage”, dated 31 Jan 1350, names “...Andrevet d’Entremont coseigneur du Touvet, son of Seigneur Guillaume Grinde chevalier and dame Philippine de Sassenage married sister of the testator...” as successive substitutes[1839]. m GUILLAUME Grinde, son of ---.

ix) ELEONORE Bérenger (-after 31 Jan 1350). The testament of “Henry...Seigneur de Sassenage”, dated 31 Jan 1350, names “...the male son of Seigneur Hugues d’Avalon chevalier and dame Eléonore de Sassenage married sister of the testator” as successive substitutes[1840]. m (before 11 Apr 1334) HUGUES d’Avalon, son of ---.

2. LAMBERT Bérenger (-after 1288). “Raynaud, Lambert et Chabert Bérenger frères héritiers de Raymond Bérenger de Royans” granted proxy to “leur frère utérin Hugues Bérenger de l’ordre des frères Mineurs” to divide the inheritance of “leur père” by charter dated 1258[1841]. “Hugues Bérenger frère Mineur” divided the territories of “son père Raymond Bérenger de Royans” by proxy granted by “ses frères”, with “Lambert” receiving “le château de Chapeverse”, and “Chabert celui de St.André au diocèse de Grenoble”, by charter dated 8 Mar 1260 (O.S.)[1842]. Chorier records his testament dated 1271, but notes that Lambert was still living in 1288 [documents not found][1843]. Courcelles says that Aymar Bérenger “transigea en 1288 avec Lambert son oncle au sujet de la possessions des terres de Rancurel, de Chapeverse et de Saint-André” (no source citation)[1844]. Chorier names “Catherine sa fille...son heritiere”, referring to Lambert Bérenger son of Raymond Bérenger [III] de Royans, and records her marriage in 1238 to “Eudes Alleman Seigneur de Sainte Jalle”[1845]. No other record has been found which confirms her parentage and marriage, the date being too early for the bride to have been the daughter of Lambert Bérenger considering that the birth of his older brother is dated to [1225/35]. In any case, the Alamandi family acquired part of Sainte-Jalle only when Sibylle d’Aix married Eudes [III] Alamandi Seigneur de Champ as his third wife, the marriage probably being dated to [1270/80]. It should be noted that the 1292 testament of Eudes [III] Alamandi names his deceased second wife Catherine (referring to property "...apud Cognetum...pro dote quondam Catarinæ uxoris meæ in tota Matacena...”)[1846], but the chronology is inconsistent with Catherine being Lambert’s daughter. Until more information comes to light, it is assumed that Chorier was incorrect.

3. CHABERT Béranger (-1299). “Raynaud, Lambert et Chabert Bérenger frères héritiers de Raymond Bérenger de Royans” granted proxy to “leur frère utérin Hugues Bérenger de l’ordre des frères Mineurs” to divide the inheritance of “leur père” by charter dated 1258[1847]. “Hugues Bérenger frère Mineur” divided the territories of “son père Raymond Bérenger de Royans” by proxy granted by “ses frères”, with receiving “Chabert [le château] de St.André au diocèse de Grenoble”, by charter dated 8 Mar 1260 (O.S.)[1848]. Chorier records that he was “chanoine de l’église de Die” and his death in 1299 [documents not found][1849].

4. HUGUES Béranger (-after 8 Mar 1261). “Raynaud, Lambert et Chabert Bérenger frères héritiers de Raymond Bérenger de Royans” granted proxy to “leur frère utérin Hugues Bérenger de l’ordre des frères Mineurs” to divide the inheritance of “leur père” by charter dated 1258[1850]. “Hugues Bérenger frère Mineur” divided the territories of “son père Raymond Bérenger de Royans” by proxy granted by “ses frères” by charter dated 8 Mar 1260 (O.S.)[1851].

Chapter 11. SEIGNEURS de SASSENAGE

This section has been completed with the collaboration of Lucas Lachaize, particularly relating to the generations of the family after the mid-13th century.

Sassenage is located on the left bank of the Isère river about 2 kilometres north-west of Grenoble, in the present-day French département of Isère, arrondissement Grenoble, canton Fontaine-Sassenage, and today forms part of the Grenoble-Alpes Métropole. A seigneurial family in Sassenage emerges from the sources in the early-12th century. Chorier purports to record earlier ancestry, which appears unsupported by primary sources. He names “Hector Seigneur Souverain de Sassenage tige de la première race de ce nom et Ismidon Prince de Royans tige de la seconde” as sons of “Artaud III Comte de Lion et de Forests” (see the document BURGUNDY KINGDOM-FOREZ & LYON), citing “de tres anciens cartulaires et entre autres, celui de l’abbaie de S. André le bas de Vienne”[1852]. In a later passage, Chorier cites a series of charters from Vienne Saint-André[1853], although nothing in those documents indicates any connection with the comital family of Forez (an opinion shared by Ulysse Chevalier[1854]). Chorier names later seigneurs de Sassenage, dated from the early 11th to mid-13th centuries, citing in particular “l’ancien martyrologie du prieuré de Saint-Robert” [extracts included below] and an “enquète de l’an 1337 [qui] preuve [leur] existence” [text not found][1855]. Chorier’s chronology is shaky and his text contradictory. Until more reliable sources emerge, it is suggested that his information should be considered with caution. Mure indicates that the first family of seigneurs de Sassenage descended from "la même famille dont étoit issue la fameuse Mellusine...[les] Lusignan en Poitou", adding that "ce qui se prouve évidemment et par les armes...qui sont...les mêmes que celles de la première maison de Lusignan et par l’ancien roman de Jean d’Arras"[1856]. The last named refers to Arras’s 1392/94 Le Roman de Mélusine (also known as La noble histoire des Lusignan) which recounts the strory of the mythical fairy Mélusine[1857].

A. SEIGNEURS de SASSENAGE

Two brothers, parents not identified (no reliable sources have been found which show earlier members of the Sassenage family). The 1109 charter quoted below confirms the brothers’ family relationship (“consobrini”) with Leutald de Cornillon, but the precise connection has not been ascertained.

1. DIDIER [I] de Sassenage (-after 9 Jun 1111). "Guigo comes, filius Guigonis Crassi" donated property to the cathedral of Grenoble, in the presence of “...Desiderii de Cassanatico...”, by charter dated 1099[1858]. Seigneur de Sassenage. “Ses seigneurs Didier et Guillaume de Sassenage” consented to the sale of “la dîme...dans la paroisse de St. Paul de Noyarey” to “Ste Marie, à St. Vincent et à Hugues évêque de Grenoble” made by “Silvion de Sassenage fils de Guigues, sa femme Geralda et leurs fils” by charter dated 1 Feb 1108[1859]. According to Chorier, the donor was the nephew of Didier and Guillaume[1860], which seems improbable given that the latter are called his “seigneurs” (“seniores”): presumably Silvion and his family were residents of the town/castle who adopted the family name. "Leutaldus de Cornilione...castrum...apud Trevas" confirmed donations to Grenoble “in parrochia de Lanz” made by “ex jure materno...[et] frater meus frater meus Siguinus”, with the consent of “consobrini Leutaldi, Desiderius de Cassanatico et Wilelmus frater eius”, by charter dated 1109[1861]. "Petrus de Aqualenz et uxor mea Aalaida" donated “decimam...in parrochia de Noiareto” to Grenoble, with the consent of “Desiderius frater predicte Aalaide...Nantelmus frater Desiderii...Desiderius de Cassanatico”, by charter dated 9 Jun 1111[1862]. Chorier indicates that “Aalaide” was the sister of Didier de Sassenage[1863], but in this document “Desiderius frater...Aalaide” appears to be a different person from “Desiderius de Cassanatico”.

2. GUILLAUME de Sassenage (-after 21 Apr 1111). “Vuillelmus de Cassinatico...” witnessed the 1106 charter under which “Vuillelmus...” donated “mansum Girberti de Monte...” to Domène[1864]. Seigneur de Sassenage. “Ses seigneurs Didier et Guillaume de Sassenage” consented to the sale of “la dîme...dans la paroisse de St. Paul de Noyarey” to “Ste Marie, à St. Vincent et à Hugues évêque de Grenoble” made by “Silvion de Sassenage fils de Guigues, sa femme Geralda et leurs fils” by charter dated 1 Feb 1108[1865]. "Leutaldus de Cornilione...castrum...apud Trevas" confirmed donations to Grenoble “in parrochia de Lanz” made by “ex jure materno...[et] frater meus frater meus Siguinus”, with the consent of “consobrini Leutaldi, Desiderius de Cassanatico et Wilelmus frater eius”, by charter dated 1109[1866]. "Hugo de la Balma..." sold property “in parrochia de Noirareto” to Grenoble “in manu Guigonis conversi”, naming “Guilelmum de Cassanatico” as guarantor and with the consent of “Otmarus de Cassanatico et infantes sui”, by charter dated 1111[1867]. “Guillaume de Sassenage” guaranteed a sale to Hugues Bishop of Grenoble made by “Hugues de la Balme...” by charter dated 21 Apr 1111[1868]. Courcelles lists other (undated) donations in which Guillaume is named and says that “il est très probable qu’il mourut sans postérité après l’an 1134” (no source citations)[1869].

The family relationships between the following individuals have not been ascertained.

1. GUIGUES de Sassenage (-[after 1 Feb 1108]). He is named as father of Silvion in the 1 Feb 1108 document quoted below, the wording suggesting that he was living at the time. Courcelles identifies Guigues as Guigues [I] (see below)[1870]. The chronology does not appear to favour this co-identity, given that this Guigues already had grandchildren who were old enough in 1108 to be mentioned in the charter. m ---. The name of Guigues’s wife is not known. Guigues & his wife had one child:

a) SILVION de Sassenage (-after 1 Feb 1108). “Silvion de Sassenage fils de Guigues, sa femme Geralda et leurs fils” sold “la dîme...dans la paroisse de St. Paul de Noyarey” to “Ste Marie, à St. Vincent et à Hugues évêque de Grenoble”, with the consent of “ses seigneurs Didier et Guillaume de Sassenage”, by charter dated 1 Feb 1108[1871]. According to Chorier, the donor was the nephew of Didier and Guillaume[1872]. This seems improbable given that the latter were called his “seigneurs” (“seniores”) in the document: Silvion and his family may have been residents of the town/castle who adopted the family name, or junior members ot the seigneurial family. m GERAUDE, daughter of --- (-after 1 Feb 1108). “Silvion de Sassenage fils de Guigues, sa femme Geralda et leurs fils” sold “la dîme...dans la paroisse de St. Paul de Noyarey” to “Ste Marie, à St. Vincent et à Hugues évêque de Grenoble” by charter dated 1 Feb 1108[1873]. Silvion & his wife had [two or more] children:

i) two or more sons . Their existence is confirmed by the 1 Feb 1108 charter quoted above.

2. OTHMAR de Sassenage (-after 1111). Courcelles indicates that he was the brother of Didier [I] but cites no sources which confirm this family relationship[1874]. "Hugo de la Balma..." sold property “in parrochia de Noirareto” to Grenoble “in manu Guigonis conversi”, naming “Guilelmum de Cassanatico” as guarantor and with the consent of “Otmarus de Cassanatico et infantes sui”, by charter dated 1111[1875]. m ---. The name of Othmar’s wife is not known. Othmar & his wife had [two or more] children:

a) children . Their existence is confirmed by the 1111 charter quoted above.

3. HECTOR de Sassenage (-after [1151]). “...Hector de Sassenage...” witnessed a charter dated [1151] which records a dispute between “Falcon de Châtillon” and the abbé de Bonnevaux[1876].

4. OTHMAR [de Sassenage] (-[1150/51]). Gallia Christiana records that ”Othmarus, e Carthusianorum...grege deductus...Ismidonis Diensis episcopi fratrem” administered the bishop of Grenoble “paucos annos”[1877]. The paragraph is not dated, but his predecessor is recorded in 1148 and his successor dated to 1151. No primary source has been identified which confirms that Othmar was a member of the Sassenage family. Bishop of Grenoble [1151].

Two brothers, parents not identified. Courcelles indicates that they were brothers of Didier [I] and Guillaume (see above), and that Didier [II] was the same person as Didier [I], without citing any sources which confirm his statements[1878]. The marriage of Guigues [I] with the Dame d’Iseron suggests that this couple were ancestors of the later Seigneurs de Sassenage, who were recorded as Seigneurs d’Iseron. Chorier says that “Guigues I Baron souverain de Sassenage” married “la fille d’Ardenc II Seigneur d’Iseron”, and cites a 1099 charter in which he is named[1879]. This presumably relates to the charter dated [1 Jan/14 Jul] 1099 under which "Ector [...Hector] et huxor mea Cana" donated “ecclesiam de Lanz...ecclesiam de Noireto” to Grenoble Cathedral, confirmed later by “filii ipsius Hectoris...Desiderius...Guigo et Guilelmus...Hector...Ademarus...Guilisius”[1880]. While several of the names of the donor’s sons are typical of the Sassenage family, nothing else in the document indicates a Sassenage connection (although family names were often omitted from such charters in the early 12th century). Chorier says that the testament of “Guigues” is dated 1146 (a date which seems inconsistent with the testator being the same person who was named in the 1099 charter), donating property to the Templars which triggered an enquiry in 1337 and a settlement between “Antoine [error for Albert?] de Sassenage” and “Henry de Godet Commandeur de Saint Paul”[1881]. None of these documents has been found.

1. GUIGUES [I] de Sassenage (-[11 Mar] after 1132). A charter dated 1132 records donations to Notre-Dame de Tamié, including “...Guigues et Didier frères de Sassenage...” witnessing a donation of land “in bosco de Corsi et Villiez” made by “Guigues comte of the donation suggesting that he is referring to the same 1132 donation[1882]. [The following entry could refer to Guigues [I], [II], or [III]: the necrology of Saint-Robert records the death “V Id Mar” of “Disderius miles dominus Cassanatici” and his donation of “mistralis apud Meudres Francisci domini Cassenatici”[1883].] m AUDISIA Dame d’Iseron, daughter of --- (-28 Aug ----). “Audisia Yseronis domina” donated property “ad Rison” to Ecouge, for the soul of “meique mariti G. de Cassenatico”, by charter dated to the mid-12th century[1884]. The necrology of Saint-Robert records the death “V Kal Sep” of “Audizia de Cassanatico”[1885].

2. DIDIER [II] de Sassenage (-after 1139). A charter dated 1132 records donations to Notre-Dame de Tamié, including “...Guigues et Didier frères de Sassenage...” witnessing a donation of land “in bosco de Corsi et Villiez” made by “Guigues comte d’Albon”[1886]. "...Desiderius de Casiniaco..." witnessed the charter dated 1139 which confirmed the consecration of an altar at Ecouges[1887]. Courcelles says that Didier “vivait encore en 1141”, without citing the corresponding primary source, and says that he died 9 Feb “comme il est porté au martyrologe [du] monastère [du prieré de Saint-Robert”[1888]. The published necrology of Saint-Robert which has been consulted includes no record of the death of Didier de Sassenage on 9 Feb or nearby dates[1889].

Four brothers, parents not identified. The chronology suggests that they may have been children of G[uigues?]--- de Sassenage, named above. According to Chorier, they were sons of “Guigues II Seigneur de Sassenage...Ainarde sœur d’Ainard II Seigneur de Domène” without citing any source on which this statement is based[1890].

1. AYMAR [I] de Sassenage (-after [1212]). “Willermus de Cassenatico” donated “cabannariam de Rappa Calda” to Ecouge, confirmed by “domno Johanne fratre suo Gratianopolis episcopo...et aliis fratribus eius Aemaro...et G.”, by charter dated 1193[1891]. “Æsmars de Cassenatico...” was named first among the guarantors for “Dom. Arbertus” under the contract of marriage between "Dom. Aynarda quondam uxor Audemari de Brisseu et mater Audemari pueri" and "Arberto de Turre…filiam suam" dated 21 Nov 1198[1892]. “Berlion seigneur de Moirans” granted freedoms to his town, naming as guarantors “...Aymar de Sassenage...”, by charter dated 1209 after 22 Feb[1893]. “Aimar de Sassenage” donated “sa part du lac de Détrier” to the monks “du Val-St. Hugon”, in the hands of “Jean évêque de Grenoble”, confirmed by “son fils Aymar”, by charter dated to [1212][1894]. m ---. The name of Aymar’s wife is not known. Aymar & his wife had one child:

a) AYMAR [II] de Sassenage . “Aimar de Sassenage” donated “sa part du lac de Détrier” to the monks “du Val-St. Hugon”, in the hands of “Jean évêque de Grenoble”, confirmed by “son fils Aymar”, by charter dated to [1212][1895]. same person as...? AYMAR [III] de Sassenage (-after 30 Jan 1232). A charter dated 1221 records that Dauphin André renounced rights over the bishopric in favour of the bishop of Grenoble, on the advice of “Aemari de Cassenatico, Odon Alamanni...”, by charter dated 1221[1896]. “Aymar de Sassenage, Odon Alamanni...” were named as present in an act of the bishopric of Grenoble dated 1222[1897]. Jean Archbishop of Vienne “Aimar de Sassenage et Aimar de Bressieux” settled a dispute between “Aimar de Poitiers comte de Valentinois” and Dauphin André concerning the dowry of “Samnoresse fille d’Aimar morte sans enfants de son mariage avec André”, by charter dated 1223[1898]. “...Aymar de Sassenage...” witnessed the charter dated 28 Sep 1225 which recorded that “le chevalier Guiffrey Salvaing” sold property to Dauphin André[1899]. “Guigues de Briançon et son fils Aimeric (Eym-c)” acknowledged holding “les châteaux de la Terrasse et de Gières (Geria)” in fief from André Dauphin, noting that “l’héritage d’Odon de Briançon, homme lige du comte de Savoie, étant dévolu à son frère Aimeric” the latter was authorised to remain in possession for life, at the request of “Didier et Aymar de Sassenage, de Guigues et Odon Aleman”, on condition that “son fils fera hommage lige au Dauphin”, by charter dated 30 Jan 1231 (O.S.)[1900].

2. GUIGUES [II] de Sassenage ([1140?]-[11 Mar] after 1193). A charter dated 1178 records the settlement of a dispute between the church of Die and “Guigo de Chasenage et uxor mea Beatrix filia Sibillæ...uxoris domini Raymundi Berengarii...filiis eorum” regarding the donation of “castrum de Foilans...et medietatem castri de Torana”, witnessed by “ex parte Guigonis de Chasenage, Willelmus frater eius...”[1901]. Chorier says that “Guigues II” made his testament in 1190 and died soon afterwards[1902]. This document has not been found but the date appears consistent with the life of Guigues [II], although it is unclear from Chorier’s text whether he is referring to the same person. “Willermus de Cassenatico” donated “cabannariam de Rappa Calda” to Ecouge, confirmed by “domno Johanne fratre suo Gratianopolis episcopo...et aliis fratribus eius Aemaro...et G.”, by charter dated 1193[1903]. [The following entry could refer to Guigues [I], [II], or [III]: the necrology of Saint-Robert records the death “V Id Mar” of “Disderius miles dominus Cassanatici” and his donation of “mistralis apud Meudres Francisci domini Cassenatici”[1904].] m BEATRIX Bérenger, daughter of RAYMOND Bérenger & his wife Sibylle --- ([1145?]-after 1178). A charter dated 1178 records the settlement of a dispute between the church of Die and “Guigo de Chasenage et uxor mea Beatrix filia Sibillæ...uxoris domini Raymundi Berengarii...filiis eorum” regarding the donation of “castrum de Foilans...et medietatem castri de Torana”, witnessed by “ex parte Guigonis de Chasenage, Willelmus frater eius...”[1905]. Guigues [II] & his wife had children:

a) sons . A charter dated 1178 records the settlement of a dispute between the church of Die and “Guigo de Chasenage et uxor mea Beatrix filia Sibillæ...uxoris domini Raymundi Berengarii...filiis eorum” regarding the donation of “castrum de Foilans...et medietatem castri de Torana”, witnessed by “ex parte Guigonis de Chasenage, Willelmus frater eius...”[1906].

3. JEAN de Sassenage (-4 Jan 1220). Gallia Christiana records the appointment of ”Joannes...genere Cassanaticus Guidonis II et Ainardæ filius, professione Carthusianus monachus”, dated to [1164][1907]. This parentage is presumably based on Chorier, who as noted above says that Jean was the son of “Guigues II Seigneur de Sassenage...Ainarde sœur d’Ainard II Seigneur de Domène”[1908]. Considering his date of death, Jean must have been a young man at the time. Bishop of Grenoble [1164]. “Willermus de Cassenatico” donated “cabannariam de Rappa Calda” to Ecouge, confirmed by “domno Johanne fratre suo Gratianopolis episcopo...et aliis fratribus eius Aemaro...et G.”, by charter dated 1193[1909]. ”Joannes...episcopus Gratianopolitanus” issued a charter dated Sep 1219 relating to rivers[1910]. Gallia Christiana records his death in 1220 after holding office for 57 years[1911]. The necrology of Saint-Robert records the death “II Non Jan” of “domni Johannis Gratianopolis episcopi...prioris Sancti Roberti”[1912].

4. GUILLAUME de Sassenage (-after 1193). A charter dated 1178 records the settlement of a dispute between the church of Die and “Guigo de Chasenage et uxor mea Beatrix filia Sibillæ...uxoris domini Raymundi Berengarii...filiis eorum” regarding the donation of “castrum de Foilans...et medietatem castri de Torana”, witnessed by “ex parte Guigonis de Chasenage, Willelmus frater eius...”[1913]. “Willermus de Cassenatico” donated “cabannariam de Rappa Calda” to Ecouge, confirmed by “domno Johanne fratre suo Gratianopolis episcopo...et aliis fratribus eius Aemaro...et G.”, by charter dated 1193[1914].

The chronology suggests that Guigues [III] was the son of one of the brothers named immediately above. Chorier conflates the two persons shown in this document as Guigues [II] and Guigues [III] into one “Guigues III”[1915]. The time span between the 1193 charter (naming Guigues [II], see above) and the death of Guigues [III] “before 1251” appears to eliminate this possibility.

1. GUIGUES [III] de Sassenage (-[11 Mar] before 1251). “Guigo de Cassenatico” donated “decimas...in mandamento de Rancurel” to Ecouge by charter dated 1231[1916]. A charter dated 22 May 1237 records a judgment concerning “le château de Rencurel” and payments to be made “à l’appréciation de Didier de Sassenage”, witnessed by “le seigneur de Sassenage...G. de Seyssins...”[1917]. Chorier says that Guigues was still living in 1257[1918], which contradicts the 1251 and 7 Jun 1252 charters quoted below under his son Guillaume. [The following entry could refer to Guigues [I], [II], or [III]: the necrology of Saint-Robert records the death “V Id Mar” of “Disderius miles dominus Cassanatici” and his donation of “mistralis apud Meudres Francisci domini Cassenatici”[1919].] m ---. The primary source which confirms the identity of Guigues’s wife has not been identified. If François de Sassenage was the son of Guigues [III] as suggested below, his mother was “Flurie” [Fleur/Flore?] who survived her husband. Guigues [III] & his wife had [four] children:

a) GUILLAUME de Sassenage (-after 7 Jun 1252). A charter dated 1251 records that “Guillaume et Guigues de Sassenage frères fils de feu Guigues seigneur de ce lieu” had donated harvest “au mandement de Rencurel” to Ecouges, and that “Guigues mort, Guillaume” donated further property[1920]. “Guillaume de Cassenatico fils de feu Guigues de Sassenage” transferred his possessions “dans les mandements et châteaux de Royon et de Rencurel”, with exceptions, to “[le] dauphin Guigues” by charter dated 7 Jun 1252[1921]. [A charter dated 16 Sep 1251 records inquiries “apud Morsum...” including “les droits...au château de Rovon...soit la parerie qu’y avait ledit W [Guillaume]. de Sassenage, fils de feu Guillaume”[1922]. Could “Guillaume” be an error for “Guigues”?]

b) GUIGUES de Sassenage (-before 1251). The following document indicates that Guigues was deceased at the time, although he survived his father: a charter dated 1251 records that “Guillaume et Guigues de Sassenage frères fils de feu Guigues seigneur de ce lieu” had donated harvest “au mandement de Rencurel” to Ecouges, and that “Guigues mort, Guillaume” donated further property[1923].

c) [FRANÇOIS de Sassenage (-16 Feb ----). The necrology of Saint-Robert records the death “XIV Kal Mar” of “Franciscus de Cassenatico” and the donation “super tenemento Petri Chaurier in mandamento [Cassenatici]” made by “Franciscus de Cassenatico filius condam dom. Guigonis de Cassenatico” and another donated he made for the soul of “domne Flurie uxoris condam dom. Guigonis de Cassenatico matris sue”[1924]. The identity of François’s father is uncertain, although Guigues [III] seems a likely possibility as the wives of Guigues [I] and Guigues [II] are already known.]

d) [ODON de Sassenage (-24 Nov ----). The necrology of Saint-Robert records the death “VIII Kal Dec” of “Odo de Cassanatico filius dom. Guigonis militis” and his donation of “decem sol. pro una pictantia annuatim”[1925]. Odon could presumably have been the son of Guigues [III] or Guigues [IV].]

e) AUJARDE de Sassenage (-after 10 Jun 1261). “Aujarde de Sassenage fille de Guigues seigneur de Sassenage” bequeathed “la terre de Seyssins qu’elle avait reçu en légitime” to the Dauphin by charter dated 15 May 1241[1926]. The testament of “Aujarde fille de Guigues de Sassenage”, dated 10 Jun 1261, appointed “Aynard de la Balme” as her universal heir and donated her property at Seyssins to Dauphin Guigues[1927]. Any relationship between the Baume and Sassenage families has not been ascertained.

[Two] brothers, parents not identified. The data points are insufficient to estimate the birth date of Didier [III] with any hope of accuracy, although the 30 Jan 1231 shows that he was adult at the time, which in turn suggests that he would have belonged to two generations later than the brothers Aymar [I] and Guigues [II] (see above) and was possibly the grandson of one of them.

1. DIDIER [III] de Sassenage (-before Aug 1259). Chorier names Didier as son of “Guigues II Seigneur de Sassenage...Ainarde sœur d’Ainard II Seigneur de Domène”, and brother of Jean Bishop of Grenoble, which seems chronologically improbable considering Jean’s appointment as bishop in [1164][1928]. “Guigues de Briançon et son fils Aimeric (Eym-c)” acknowledged holding “les châteaux de la Terrasse et de Gières (Geria)” in fief from André Dauphin, noting that “l’héritage d’Odon de Brainçon, homme lige du comte de Savoie, étant dévolu à son frère Aimeric” the latter was authorised to remain in possession for life, at the request of “Didier et Aymar de Sassenage, de Guigues et Odon Aleman”, on condition that “son fils fera hommage lige au Dauphin”, by charter dated 30 Jan 1231 (O.S.)[1929]. “...Didier de Sassenage...” witnessed the charter dated 22 Mar 1244 under which Dauphin Guigues granted property to “Bertrand de Engellas”[1930]. Seigneur de Sassenage. Chorier records that Didier opposed the homage of “Emeric de Briançon fils de Guigues de Briançon” to André Dauphin de Viennois in 1236, and “trois ans après” acquired the rights of “Marguerite femme de Pierre de Dorche sur la terre de Sassenage” as well as “le fief de Guillaume d’Avalon par une donation gratuite de Bornon d’Avalon”, without source citations although the precise nature of the information suggests that he had access to charters which have since disappeared[1931]. m AUJARDE [Alamandi?], daughter of [EUDES [Odon] Alamandi & his wife ---] (-4 Oct [after 1260]). The Dec 1245 testament quoted below under her son François suggests that his mother was the sister of Guigues Alamandi, a suggestion which also reflects the typical Alamandi name Odon given to the couple’s second son. The testament of “Aujarde femme de Didier de Sassenage”, dated 21 May 1244, requested burial “dans le cimitière de l’abbaye des Ayes”, and appointed “ses deux fils François et Odon” as executors[1932]. A charter dated mid-Aug 1259 records that “Aujarde widow of Seigneur Didier de Sassenage” sold possesions in the Valbonnais to “Albert de Sassenage”[1933]. [It is possible that the following document relates to her, misnamed: a charter dated 1260 acknowledged rights of “Alexis veuve de Didier seigneur de Sassenage” in certain property[1934].] The necrology of Saint-Robert records the death “IV Non Oct” of “domina Aviarda de Cassanatico” and her donation[1935]. Didier [III] & his wife had two children:

a) FRANÇOIS de Sassenage . The testament of “Aujarde femme de Didier de Sassenage”, dated 21 May 1244, requested burial “dans le cimitière de l’abbaye des Ayes”, and appointed “ses deux fils François et Odon” as executors[1936]. The testament of “Guigues Allemand chevalier”, dated Dec 1245, appointed as substitute heirs “ses neveux F. de Sassenage et Gautier de Briançon“[1937]. same person as...? FRANÇOIS de Sassenage (-15 May ----). The necrology of Saint-Robert records the death “Id Mai” of “Franciscus de Cassenatico” and his donation made “per heredum suum universalem”[1938].

b) ODON de Sassenage (-25 Jul ----). The testament of “Aujarde femme de Didier de Sassenage”, dated 21 May 1244, requested burial “dans le cimitière de l’abbaye des Ayes”, and appointed “ses deux fils François et Odon” as executors[1939]. The necrology of Saint-Robert records the death “VIII Kal Aug” of “Odo de Cassanatico filius dom. Disderii” and his donation of “x sol. cens. pro pictanti annuatim”[1940].

2. [JORDAN de Sassenage (-13 Feb ----). The necrology of Saint-Robert records the death “Id Feb” of “Jordonus de Cassenatico” and his donation for his soul made by “dom. Disderius de Cassenatico frater suus”[1941]. Jordan was presumably the brother of Didier [III], [IV] or [V]. Chorier says that he was the brother of Didier [V], without citing any source which confirms this information[1942].]

[Three] siblings, parents not identified. Chorier conflates the two persons shown in this document as Aymar [IV] and Aymar [V] into one[1943]. This possibility appears excluded by both individuals having daughters named Flotte who do not appear to have been the same person. The documents quoted below suggest that Aymar [IV]’s daughter Flotte was his sole heiress which, if correct, excludes the possibility that any later members of the Sassenage family descended from Aymar [IV]. As Flotte was presumably of age when she transacted in the 17 Jan 1255 document quoted below, it is likely that her father was born before [1210/15]. If that is correct, the Sassenage family chronology suggests that he would have belonged to two generations later than the brothers Aymar [I] and Guigues [II] (see above) and was possibly the grandson of one of them.

1. AYMAR [IV] de Sassenage ([before [1210/15]?]-[28 Jun 1252/17 Jan 1255]). Seigneur d’Iseron. “Ademarus de Cassenatio dominus de Yserone” donated “terram...in montana de Ruyson, in Corniveres” to Ecouge by charter dated 1239[1944]. “Aymar de Sassenage seigneur d’Izeron” agreed to help Dauphin Guigues in his war “contre Aymar de Poitiers et Raymond Bérenger” by charter dated 13 May 1248[1945]. Seigneur de Sassenage et d’Iseron: “Aymar seigneur de Sassenage et d’Izeron” granted “tout ce qu’il possédait de Flotte sa sœur au château et mandement de Beauvoir, soit la condamine Loiseillere” and harvest “sur le moulin de Pierre Alamandi sur l’eau dite Claire” to Dauphin Guigues by charter dated 28 Jun 1252[1946]. m ---. The name of Aymar’s wife is not known. Aymar & his wife had one child:

a) FLOTTE de Sassenage (-14 Jul, 1263 or after). A document dated 17 Jan 1255, under the seals of “...Petri Ysoardi, Johannis de Cassenatico canonnici Viennen.” records an agreement between “Johannem de Cassenatico canonicum Viennensem predict.” and “Flotam filiam condam Aymari de Cassenatico” concerning her inheritance “que condam fuerunt ddom. Aymari et Alberti de Cassenatico”[1947]. “Flote de Sassenage” revoked all her testaments and contracts relating to “[le] château de Sassenage” by charter dated 17 Jun 1263[1948]. The necrology of Saint-Robert records the death “II Id Jul” of “Flota filia Aymari de Yserone” and her donation[1949].

2. [ALBERT de Sassenage (-before 17 Jan 1255). A document dated 17 Jan 1255, under the seals of “...Petri Ysoardi, Johannis de Cassenatico canonnici Viennen.” records an agreement between “Johannem de Cassenatico canonicum Viennensem predict.” and “Flotam filiam condam Aymari de Cassenatico” concerning her inheritance “que condam fuerunt ddom. Aymari et Alberti de Cassenatico”[1950]. The document does not specify the relationship between Aimery [IV] and Albert, but if Aimery’s daughter inherited Albert’s property they were presumably closely related, maybe brothers.]

3. FLOTTE de Sassenage (-before 28 Jun 1252). “Aymar seigneur de Sassenage et d’Izeron” granted “tout ce qu’il possédait de Flotte sa sœur au château et mandement de Beauvoir, soit la condamine Loiseillere” and harvest “sur le moulin de Pierre Alamandi sur l’eau dite Claire” to Dauphin Guigues by charter dated 28 Jun 1252[1951]. The phrase “tout ce qu’il possédait de Flotte” in this document suggests that Flotte was deceased at the time.

The connections, if any, between the following individuals and the main Sassenage family have not been ascertained.

1. --- . m EIGLESA, daughter of --- (-27 Apr ----). The necrology of Saint-Robert records the death “VI Kal Mai” of “Eiglesa de Chassenatico” and her donation[1952]. Her name recalls the abbreviated name “Engl---“, wife of Pierre Coupier, supposed niece of Didier [IV] de Sassenage (see below). It is possible that the two entries refer to the same person.

2. GUIGUES de Sassenage (-19 Jun ----). The necrology of Saint-Robert records the death “XIII Kal Jul” of “Guigo de Cassanatico miles” and his donation[1953].

3. GUILLAUME de Sassenage (-19 Jul ----). The necrology of Saint-Robert records the death “XIV Kal Aug” of “Guillelmus miles de Cassanatico”[1954].

4. GUIGUES de Sassenage (-22 Jul ----). The necrology of Saint-Robert records the death “XI Kal Aug” of “Guigo de Cassanatico miles” and his donation[1955].

5. HECTOR de Sassenage (-2 Sep ---). The necrology of Saint-Robert records the death “IV Non Sep” of “Hector miles de Cassanatico”[1956].

6. AYMAR Guichard de Sassenage (-after 7 Dec 1273). “Aymar Guichardi de Sassenage et son épouse Alayssia” sold property “dans la paroisse de Meylan” to “Siboud de Châteauneuf” by charter dated 7 Dec 1273[1957]. Does the patronym mean that his father was named Guichard? Could this be an error for Guigues? m ALASIA, daughter of --- (-after 7 Dec 1273). “Aymar Guichardi de Sassenage et son épouse Alayssia” sold property “dans la paroisse de Meylan” to “Siboud de Châteauneuf” by charter dated 7 Dec 1273[1958].

Two brothers, parents not identified. As noted above, Chorier conflates the two persons shown in this document as Aymar [IV] and Aymar [V] into one[1959]. This possibility appears excluded by both individuals being recorded with daughters named Flotte who do not appear to have been the same person. Primary sources have not been identified which confirm conclusively that Albert and Guillaume, named below, were sons of Aymar [V]. In the case of Albert, his succession as seigneur suggests that this parentage is correct, although another possibility is that Aymar was the son of Didier [III] Seigneur de Sassenage (see below) by an earlier otherwise unrecorded marriage and that Didier’s widow sold her property to her stepson. In the case of Guillaume, he could have been the brother or paternal uncle of Hugues who is named below.

1. AYMAR [V] de Sassenage ([1215/20]-before 20 Mar 1255). The marriage date of his daughter suggests that Aymar [V] was born (very approximately) in [1215/20]. Aymar is recorded as deceased in the 20 Mar 1255 dispensation for the marriage of his daughter Flotte, and is named in the 29 Aug 1256 charter of his supposed son Albert, both quoted below. He is not named as Seigneur de Sassenage in either document, suggesting that he was a junior member of the family. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Aymar’s wife has not been identified. Aymar [V] & his wife had [six] children:

a) [HENRI de Sassenage . Chorier names Henri as oldest son of Aymar [V], adding that he died “sans enfans quelque temps apres la mort de son pere”, without citing any source which confirms this information[1960].]

b) [ALBERT de Sassenage (-[9 Mar] [Dec 1277/Dec 1279]). The primary source which confirms Albert’s parentage has not been identified, although it is indicated by the charters quoted below under his supposed brother Didier, one of which names Albert’s son François as Didier’s “neveu”. Chorier also says that Albert “transigea avec Pierre d’Iseran” in 1260 “le contrat le qualifie fils d’Aymar”[1961]. This document has not been found.]

- see below.

c) [GUILLAUME de Sassenage (-1289). Gallia Christiana records the appointment as bishop of Grenoble in ”ante VIII Kal Aug 1266” of “Aimari de Cassanatico filius...Guillelmus”[1962]. The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified. Bishop of Grenoble 1266. Gallia Christiana records that Guillaume died ”anno 1289...nonnulli contendunt”[1963].]

d) DIDIER de Sassenage (-[Valence 23 Jul 1318]). Didier’s parentage is confirmed by the 9 Jul 1294 charter quoted below, read with the Papal dispensation for the marriage of his sister Flotte (see below). [Chorier says that Didier acquired “la moitié de [la] seigneurie d’Alix femme de Pierre du Peloux Seigneur de Rochefort” in 1261, but that the implementation of the sale was delayed by the opposition of “Humbert du Peloux fils et donataire d’Alix”[1964]. The corresponding document has not been found and the date suggest that the purchaser may have been another Didier de Sassenage.] Viguier de Romans: the seal of “Desiderius de Cassenatico, viguier de R-ns” is attached to a charter at Romans dated 17 May 1270[1965]. A charter dated 22 Sep 1274 records a meeting of the chapter of Vienne, including “...Didier de Sassenage vicarius...chanoines”[1966]. “Nobles Didier de Sassenage [Cassenatico] viguier de Romans, Guillaume Artaudi seigneur d’Aix, Aynard de la Tour seigneur de Vinay, Raymond de Montauban, Gilet et Guigonet Alamans, François et Hugues de Sassenage...” agreed an alliance to defend against all except “le dauphin Jean” by charter dated 5 Feb 1279 (O.S.)[1967]. Canon at Romans: a charter dated 11 Apr 1282 records a plot between “Didier de Sassenage et d’autres chanoines de Romans” and “feu G[uy] d’Auvergne [archevêque de Vienne]” to invade and burn the town of “Romans” and kill its inhabitants[1968]. Chorier says that “les habitants d’Iseron” paid homage to Didier in 1290[1969]. A charter dated 9 Jul 1294 records an agreement between Jean Bishop of Valence and Die and “Guillaume Artaud seigneur d’Aix et son épouse Flotte” concerning rights over “la ville de Montclar cédée au prélat par le prieur de St. Maurice de Die”, arbitrated by “Didier de Sassenage beau-frère de Guillaume”[1970]. Abbé de Valence Saint-Félix: a charter dated 1297 records an agreement between Humbert Dauphin de Viennois and “Didier de Sassenage abbé de St-Félix de Valence et son neveu François seigneur de Sassenage”, the former agreeing not to acquire the latter’s territories[1971]. The necrology of Saint-Robert records the death “X Kal Aug” of “Disderius de Kassenatico abbas Sancti Phelicis Valentie secundus”, who died 1318 “apud Valentiam”, and his donation[1972].

e) FLOTTE de Sassenage (-after 28 Sep 1298, bur Die Franciscan church). Pope Alexander IV granted dispensation for the marriage of “Guillelmum Artaldi” and “Flottam natam quondam Ademari de Chassanatico”, despite their 4^o consanguinity, dated 20 Mar 1255[1973]. Insufficient information is available concerning Flotte’s ancestry to trace the family relationship between the couple. Dauphin Guigues granted “castra de Monteclaro et de Veronna” to “Flota filia quondam Aymari de Cassenatico et Guillelmus Arthaudi maritus eius et Petrus Ysoardi pater eiusdem Guillelmi”, in exchange for their rights in “castra de Cassenatico et de Yserono...ex causa successionis quondam dicti Aymari de Cassenatico patris mei Flote et Johannis de Cassenatico quondam, patrui meui Flote”, by charter dated 17 Jun 1263[1974]. A charter dated 9 Jul 1294 records an agreement between Jean Bishop of Valence and Die and “Guillaume Artaud seigneur d’Aix et son épouse Flotte” concerning rights over “la ville de Montclar cédée au prélat par le prieur de St. Maurice de Die”, arbitrated by “Didier de Sassenage beau-frère de Guillaume”[1975]. “Raymundus de Medullione junior filius emancipatus” exchanged “castrum de Rupe supra Buxum...castrorum de Rocheta aupra Sanctum Albanum et de Alausone” with “Guillelmo Artaudi domino de Ays et Flote conjugibus” for “castro de Monteclaro...” by charter dated 1298[1976]. “Flotte épouse de Guillaume Artaid seigneur d’Aix” confirmed receiving payments from “Adémar de Poitiers comte de Valentinois”, owed by “Raymond de Mévouillon” relating to the exchange of “[le] château de Montclar contre celui de la Roche-sur-Buis”, by charter dated 13 Sep 1298[1977]. Charles II King of Sicily confirmed that “Raymond de Mévouillon le jeune” had received payment from “Adémar de Poitiers comte de Valentinois”, noting an amount “données à Flotte et...à son fils Pierre Isoard”, by charter dated 22 Sep 1298[1978]. “Flota uxor Guillelmi Artaudi domini d’Ays, domina castri de la Rocha supra Buxum” received payment from “domino Aymaro de Pictavia comite Valentino” relating to the previous property transactions by charter dated 28 Sep 1298[1979]. Her place of burial is confirmed by the 4 Dec 1334 testament of her son Pierre Isoard. m (before 1255, Papal dispensation 4^o 20 Mar 1255) GUILLAUME ARTAUD [II] Seigneur d'Aix, son of PIERRE ISOARD Seigneur d’Aix & his wife Saure de Mévouillon (-[4 Jul 1300/23 Jan 1302]).

f) [HUGUES de Sassenage . The existence of this person is uncertain. Chorier names Hugues as youngest son of Aymar [V], noting that he was “Seigneur d’Iseron tige de la branche d’Iseron”, without citing any source which confirms this parentage[1980]. He cites other sources which purportedly name this Hugues but which all appear better linked to Hugues son of Didier [IV] de Sassenage who is named below. The only document which could refer to either Hugues is the following: “Nobles Didier de Sassenage [Cassenatico] viguier de Romans, Guillaume Artaudi seigneur d’Aix, Aynard de la Tour seigneur de Vinay, Raymond de Montauban, Gilet et Guigonet Alamans, François et Hugues de Sassenage...” agreed an alliance to defend against all except “le dauphin Jean” by charter dated 5 Feb 1279 (O.S.)[1981].]

2. JEAN de Sassenage (-[17 Jun 1255/17 Jun 1263]). Canon at Vienne. The chapter of Vienne confirmed the donation made by Jean Archbishop of Vienne, in the presence of “...Jean de Sassenage...chanoines de Vienne”, by charter dated 23 Sep 1254[1982]. A document dated 17 Jan 1255, under the seals of “...Petri Ysoardi, Johannis de Cassenatico canonnici Viennen.” records an agreement between “Johannem de Cassenatico canonicum Viennensem predict.” and “Flotam filiam condam Aymari de Cassenatico” concerning her inheritance “que condam fuerunt ddom. Aymari et Alberti de Cassenatico”[1983]. Dauphin Guigues granted “castra de Monteclaro et de Veronna” to “Flota filia quondam Aymari de Cassenatico et Guillelmus Arthaudi maritus eius et Petrus Ysoardi pater eiusdem Guillelmi”, in exchange for their rights in “castra de Cassenatico et de Yserono...ex causa successionis quondam dicti Aymari de Cassenatico patris mei Flote et Johannis de Cassenatico quondam, patrui meui Flote”, by charter dated 17 Jun 1263[1984].

In addition to the known family shown below, a mid-19th century work in Hungarian reproduces a document, dated “5 Dec 1308”, which purports to record a marriage between “dominum Petrum Crouy Chanelis filium nobilis domini Antonii Crouy Chanelis et nobilis domine Ambrosine de Comeriis” and “nobilis...domicellam Agnesiam de Cassenatico dictam de Veraciensi, filiam nobilis...domini Othonardi de Cassenatico dicto de Veraciensi ab humanis decessi et...domine Ludovice de Sabaudia etiam ab humanis decesse”, with the consent of “domini Francisci de Cassenatico tutoris et avunculi dicte domicelle...et...domine Agnesie Gesie Juinville uxoris dicti domini Francisci...”[1985]. The family relationships in the document suggest that “Othonard Seigneur de Sassenage”, husband of “Louise de Savoie”, was the deceased (presumably older, as he is named “Seigneur”) brother of François Seigneur de Sassenage. No other reference to these supposed persons has been found. It is not known when this document was produced, but it links to the longstanding tradition in the Croÿ/Crouy family of descent from the kings of Hungary (the 1308 document also refers to this supposed family connection). How this tradition developed is fully described in the introduction to “Seigneurs de Croÿ” in the document NORTHERN FRANCE-AMIENS, MONTREUIL, PONTHIEU. It is assumed that the document is spurious and that the persons it names never existed.

ALBERT [I] de Sassenage, son of [AYMAR de Sassenage & his wife ---] (-[9 Mar] [4 Dec 1277/30 Dec 1279]). The primary source which confirms Albert’s parentage has not been identified, although it is indicated by the charters quoted below under his supposed brother Didier, one of which names Albert’s son François as Didier’s “neveu”. Chorier also says that Albert “transigea avec Pierre d’Iseran” in 1260 “le contrat le qualifie fils d’Aymar”[1986]. This document has not been found. A charter dated 29 Aug 1256 records an agreement between Albert de Sassenage and Pierre Isoard d’Aix relating to actions of Aymar de Sassenage for which Pierre Isoard requested compensation[1987]. A charter dated mid-Aug 1259 records that “Aujarde widow of Seigneur Didier de Sassenage” sold possesion in the Valbonnais to “Albert de Sassenage”[1988]. A charter dated 1 Dec 1263 records that “Rodolphe et Guelis de Molard” held property “dans la paroisse d’Autrans” from “noble Albert de Sassenage”[1989]. Albert is named as deceased in the 30 Dec 1279 testament quoted below under which his widow inherited property from her brother. The necrology of Saint-Robert records the death “VII Id Mar” of “Albertus dominus de Cassanatico” and his donation of “mistralis apud Meudres Francissi domini Cassenatici”[1990]. It is possible that this entry relates to Albert son of [Aymar].

m MARGUERITE de Beauvoir, daughter of GUILLAUME Seigneur de Beauvoir & his first wife [Vallone ---] (-after 24 Dec 1281). The testament of “D. Guillelmi quondam domini de Bello-visu”, dated 4 Dec 1277, made bequests to “Marguaritæ uxori Alberti de Cassenatico filiæ meæ...”[1991]. The testament of “frère Guillaume de Beauvoir...”, dated 30 Dec 1279, bequeathed property to “Marguerite veuve d’Arbert de Sassenage ma sœur...à prendre sur les biens m’appartenant du chef de ma mère”[1992]. François de Sassenage, son and heir of deceased Albert de Sassenage, donated property to his mother Marguerite, widow of Albert, by charter dated 24 Dec 1281[1993].

Albert [I] & his wife had five children:

1. FRANÇOIS de Sassenage (-[15 Apr/4 Jul] 1328, bur Saint-Robert). Seigneur de Sassenage. “Nobles Didier de Sassenage [Cassenatico] viguier de Romans, Guillaume Artaudi seigneur d’Aix, Aynard de la Tour seigneur de Vinay, Raymond de Montauban, Gilet et Guigonet Alamans, François et Hugues de Sassenage...” agreed an alliance to defend against all except “le dauphin Jean” by charter dated 5 Feb 1279 (O.S.)[1994]. François de Sassenage, son and heir of deceased Albert de Sassenage, donated property to his mother Marguerite, widow of Albert, by charter dated 24 Dec 1281[1995]. A charter dated 10 Jun 1284 records that Anne Ctss de Viennois granted “François de Sassenage fils d’Albert” all that her father had possessed “au mandement de Sassenage et de Veurey”, except for “l’hommage que lui devait Hugues de Sassenage fils de Didier”, in return for other specified property[1996]. Pope Nicholas IV wrote to Guillaume Archbishop of Vienne, dated 22 Sep 1291, concerning the fire at Vienne Saint-Antoine caused by “Grato monachus monasterii Montismajoris...Aynardi domini de Castro novo fratris sui” who were attacked in revenge by “...Franciscus et Huguo de Cassenetico...”[1997]. “Franciscus de Cassanastico” confirmed the donation of property “in parochia Dostranz in loco...Sillolagio” to Ecouge by charter dated 1299[1998]. “François et Hugues de Sassenage” chose arbitrators to settle their dispute concerning “la ville de Villard et le mandement se Sassenage” by charter dated 13 Feb 1313 (O.S.), the decision recorded in a charter dated 23 Feb 1313 (O.S.)[1999]. The testament of François de Sassenage, dated 15 Apr 1328, requested burial in the priory of Saint-Robert with his predecessors, bequeathed property to “his daughter Béatrix widow of Seigneur Aymar de Béranger, Seigneur du Pont en Royans...the children of his deceased daughter Catherine wife of Seigneur Rollet de Rochefort, Dame Eléonore his daughter wife to Seigneur Jean de Béranger Seigneur de Morges, Annette his daughter not married yet, Léonette his daughter nun of the Ordre de Cîteaux at Laval-Bressieux, his brother Drodon Prieur de Beaumont” and named “Albert de Sassenage his son” as his universal heir, with “François Béranger son of Dame Béatrix...and Aymard de Béranger Seigneur du Pont...his brother Henry de Béranger...the son of Catherine daughter of the testator and wife of Seigneur Rollet de Rochefort...Jean de Béranger son of Dame Eléonore daughter of the testator and of Seigneur Jean de Béranger Seigneur de Morges, his daughter Annette’s male heirs if she has any...Seigneur Guigues de Grolée Seigneur de Neyrieux cousin of the testator, Drodonnet son of Marguerite de Beauvoir wife of Rollet d’Entremonet...Seigneur Guigues de Beauvoir” as successive substitutes, and recognised having received money for the dowry of “Marguerite wife of his son Albert”[2000]. François presumably died before 4 Jul 1328 when his son Albert is named Seigneur de Sassenage (see below). m AGNES de Joinville-Gex, daughter of SIMON de Joinville Seigneur de Marnay et de Gex & his wife Léonete Dame de Gex [Genève] (-after 24 Sep 1312, bur Laval Bressieux). "Léonete dame de Gex" acknowledged holding various fiefs from Beatrix Ctss de Viennois, in return for the latter confirming advancing money "pour les dôts de Béatrix et d’Agnes filles de Léonéte", with the consent of "son fils Pierre", by charter dated 4 Feb 1278 (O.S.)[2001]. Dame de Gex. The testament of “Agnes de Jacz”, dated 24 Sep 1312, requested burial in the church of Laval Bressieux, bequeathed property to “Marguerite her sister nun in Meylans, Beatrix sister of her husband nun in Laval Bressieux, Flotte other sister of her husband, Beatrix her daughter wife of Seigneur Aymard de Beranger, Catherine wife of Rolet de Rochefort, Eléonore wife of Jean de Morges, Annette and Léonnette nun at Laval Bressieux, Marguerite nun at Salette, Philippine nun at Meylan, her daughters” and named “her son Albert” as universal heir[2002]. François & his wife had eight children:

a) ALBERT [II] de Sassenage (-[Dec 1338/30 Apr 1339]). The testament of “Agnes de Jacz”, dated 24 Sep 1312, named “her son Albert” as universal heir[2003]. “Hugues de la Tour dit Turpin seigneur de Vinay” promised the marriage of “un de ses fils, qui serait seigneur de ses terres de la Tour et de Vinay” to “une des filles d’Aymar seigneur de Bressieux”, the marriage to take place “à Pâques 1329”, with “...Albert et Didier de Sassenage...” as guarantors, by charter dated 2 Sep 1326[2004]. The testament of François de Sassenage, dated 15 Apr 1328, named “Albert de Sassenage his son” as his universal heir[2005]. Seigneur de Sassenage. Dauphin Guigues gave orders to “Guigues de Morges seigneur de Jansac”, naming as present “...Albert seigneur de Sassenage...Didier de Sassenage...”, by charter dated 4 Jul 1328[2006]. A charter dated 2 Dec 1331 records the rights of “les hommes...de noble Didier de Sassenage” to cut wood “dans les forêts de Corençon, d’Arlan et de Narcie”, and of “les hommes d’Albert seigneur de Sassenage”[2007]. Pope John XXII granted “indulgence plénière à l’article de la mort” to “Albert seigneur de Sassenage et à son épouse Marguerite” dated 29 Nov 1333[2008]. Chorier records that Albert “chevalier du Roi et souverain capitaine en Poitou et Xaintonge” confirmed the privileges of his subjects by charter dated Dec 1338, without citing the source on which his information is based[2009]. m (contract before Feb 1288, before 18 Jun 1303) MARGUERITE Alamandi, daughter of GUIGUES Alamandi Seigneur de Valbonnais & his first wife Sibylle de Clérieux (after 1282-after 29 Nov 1333). A charter dated early Feb 1288 records an agreement between “François de Sassenage” and “Guigues Alleman son of Odon Alleman” for return of dowry payments made when they had agreed to the betrothal of their children[2010]. Presumably the marriage contract was later revived as the following document confirms that the marriage did take place. The testament of “Roger de Clérieu”, dated 18 Jun 1303, bequeathed property to “...Marguerite Allemand [...sa petite-fille] femme d’Albert de Sassenage, sa sœur Catherine, héritières de leur mère Sibylle de Clérieu fille de Roger, mariée à Guigues Allemand...”[2011]. The testament of François de Sassenage, dated 15 Apr 1328, recognised having received money for the dowry of “Marguerite wife of his son Albert”[2012]. Pope John XXII granted “indulgence plénière à l’article de la mort” to “Albert seigneur de Sassenage et à son épouse Marguerite” dated 29 Nov 1333[2013]. Albert [II] had two illegitimate children by unknown mistresses:

i) CATHERINE de Sassenage (-after 26 May 1356). The testament of “Henry...Seigneur de Sassenage”, dated 31 Jan 1350, bequeathed property to “...Beatrix and Catherine natural daughters of deceased seigneur Albert de Sassenage...”[2014]. m (contract 26 May 1356) EYNARD de La Fontaine, son of ---.

ii) BEATRIX de Sassenage (-after 31 Jan 1350). The testament of “Henry...Seigneur de Sassenage”, dated 31 Jan 1350, bequeathed property to “...Beatrix and Catherine natural daughters of deceased seigneur Albert de Sassenage...”[2015].

b) BEATRIX de Sassenage (-after 1330). [“Emery de Briançon s’étant fiancé à une des filles de François de Sassenage sans l’autorité de son père” assigned “la sûreté de la dot sur la terre d’Eybens” by charter dated 1298[2016]. It is uncertain which daughter was Aimery’s betrothed, but presumably the marriage did not proceed.] The testament of “Agnes de Jacz”, dated 24 Sep 1312, bequeathed property to “...Beatrix her daughter wife of Seigneur Aymard de Beranger...”[2017]. Her second marriage is confirmed by the following documents: “Beatrix de Sassenage veuve d’Aymar Berengarii seigneur de Pont-en-Royans et du château de Rencurel, jadis dame de Tullins et de Rencurel” disputed the right of the prior of Ecouges to cut wood “dans le bois del Turron”, The marriage can presumably be dated to after her husband’s son Aymar died, Guy hoping to have more male children by this second marriage. “Guy de Tullins mari de Beatrix” reaching a compromise which would be approved by “Beatrix et son fils Henri seigneur du château de Pont-en-Royans”, by charter dated 4 Jan 1322[2018]. “Beatrix de Sassenage épouse du seigneur de Tullins et dame de Rencurel, son père François seigneur de Sassenage tuteur d’Henri Berengarii fils de feu Aymar Berengarii et de Beatrix, seigneur de Pont-en-Royans et du château de Rencurel” confirmed the agreement dated 4 Jan [1322], by charter dated 8 Feb 1322[2019]. The testament of François de Sassenage, dated 15 Apr 1328, bequeathed property to “his daughter Béatrix widow of Seigneur Aymar de Béranger, Seigneur du Pont en Royans...” and named “François Béranger son of Dame Béatrix...and Aymard de Béranger Seigneur du Pont...his brother Henry de Béranger...” as successive substitute heirs[2020]. [Chorier records her third marriage (which he calls Beatrix’s second marriage) in 1330, without citing the source which confirms the information[2021]. This information appears incompatible with Bertrand’s known wife Marguerite de Hautvillard being his widow in 1363. One possible explanation is that Bertrand married three times, his first wife being the mother of his three daughters, his second wife Béatrix de Sassenage, and his third Marguerite.] m firstly (3 Aug 1301) as his second wife, AYMAR Bérenger Seigneur de Pont-en-Royans, son of RAYNAUD Bérenger Seigneur de Pont-en-Royans & his wife --- (-[17 Sep 1315/1318?]). m secondly ([1318/20?]) as his second wife, GUY Seigneur de Tullins, son of AYMAR Seigneur de Tullins & his wife Aude dame de l’Argentière (-[9 Feb/14 Nov] 1322). [m thirdly (1330) BERTRAND Bérenger Seigneur de Feuillans et de Tréminis, son of RAYNAUD Bérenger Seigneur de Tréminis & his wife Galberge --- (-before 23 Jul 1352).]

c) CATHERINE de Sassenage (-[24 Sep 1312/15 Apr 1328]). The testament of “Agnes de Jacz”, dated 24 Sep 1312, bequeathed property to “...Catherine wife of Rolet de Rochefort...”[2022]. The testament of François de Sassenage, dated 15 Apr 1328, bequeathed property to “...the children of his deceased daughter Catherine wife of Seigneur Rollet de Rochefort...” and named “...the son of Catherine daughter of the testator and wife of Seigneur Rollet de Rochefort...” as successive substitutes[2023]. The testament of “Henry...Seigneur de Sassenage”, dated 31 Jan 1350, named [maybe Catherine’s grandson] “...noble Aymard son of Seigneur Humbert de Rochefort seigneur de Pelafol...” as successive substitutes[2024]. m ROLET Seigneur de Rochefort, son of ---.

d) ELEONORE de Sassenage (-after 15 Apr 1328). The testament of “Agnes de Jacz”, dated 24 Sep 1312, bequeathed property to “...Eléonore wife of Jean de Morges...”[2025]. ...”[2026]. The testament of François de Sassenage, dated 15 Apr 1328, bequeathed property to “...Dame Eléonore his daughter wife to Seigneur Jean de Béranger Seigneur de Morges...” and named “...Jean de Béranger son of Dame Eléonore daughter of the testator and of Seigneur Jean de Béranger Seigneur de Morges...” as successive substitute heirs[2027]. m (before 24 Sep 1312) JEAN Bérenger [I] Seigneur de Morges, son of --- (-after 25 Apr 1356).

e) ANNETTE de Sassenage (-after 15 Mar 1335). The testament of “Agnes de Jacz”, dated 24 Sep 1312, bequeathed property to “...Annette and Léonnette nun at Laval Bressieux, Marguerite nun at Salette, Philippine nun at Meylan, her daughters”[2028]. The testament of François de Sassenage, dated 15 Apr 1328, bequeathed property to “...Annette his daughter not married yet...” and named “...his daughter Annette’s male heirs if she has any...” as successive substitute heirs[2029]. A charter dated 15 Mar 1335 records receipt given by “Noble Aymon de Briancon Seigneur de Varces” to “Noble J[ean] Bouvier du Villard” for payment on behalf of “Albert Seigneur de Sassenage pour le dot d’Annette f[emm]e de Gauthier fils du Seigneur Aymon et sœur du Seigneur Albert”[2030]. The testament of “Henry...Seigneur de Sassenage”, dated 31 Jan 1350, named [presumably Annette’s son] “...Albert de Briançon seigneur de Varces...” as successive substitutes[2031]. m (before 15 Mar 1335) GAUTHIER de Briançon Seigneur de Varces et d’Eybens, son of AYMON de Briançon Seigneur de Varces & his wife ---.

f) LEONETTE de Sassenage (-after 15 Apr 1328). Nun at Laval Bressieux: the testament of “Agnes de Jacz”, dated 24 Sep 1312, bequeathed property to “...Annette and Léonnette nun at Laval Bressieux, Marguerite nun at Salette, Philippine nun at Meylan, her daughters”[2032]. The testament of François de Sassenage, dated 15 Apr 1328, bequeathed property to “...Léonette his daughter nun of the Ordre de Cîteaux at Laval-Bressieux, his brother Drodon Prieur de Beaumont”[2033].

g) MARGUERITE de Sassenage (-[24 Sep 1312/15 Apr 1328]). Nun at Salette: the testament of “Agnes de Jacz”, dated 24 Sep 1312, bequeathed property to “...Annette and Léonnette nun at Laval Bressieux, Marguerite nun at Salette, Philippine nun at Meylan, her daughters”[2034]. Marguerite presumably died before 15 Apr 1328, the date of her father’s testament in which she is not named.

h) PHILIPPINE de Sassenage (-[24 Sep 1312/15 Apr 1328]). Nun at Meylan: the testament of “Agnes de Jacz”, dated 24 Sep 1312, bequeathed property to “...Annette and Léonnette nun at Laval Bressieux, Marguerite nun at Salette, Philippine nun at Meylan, her daughters”[2035]. Philippine presumably died before 15 Apr 1328, the date of her father’s testament in which she is not named.

2. DRODON de Sassenage (-after 1328). The testament of François de Sassenage, dated 15 Apr 1328, bequeathed property to “...his brother Drodon Prieur de Beaumont”[2036]. The necrology of Saint-Robert records the death “Non Feb” of “mon. Dom. Drodo de Cass(enatico), prior Bellim. condam”, and “VIII Kal Nov” of “Drodo de Cassenatico prior Bellimontis condam” and his donation “apud Tolinum super conquerementum dom. Guillelmi de Pealdru”[2037].

3. BEATRIX de Sassenage (-after 24 Sep 1312). Nun at Laval Bressieux: the testament of “Agnes de Jacz”, dated 24 Sep 1312, requested burial in the church of Laval Bressieux, bequeathed property to “...Beatrix sister of her husband nun in Laval Bressieux, Flotte other sister of her husband...”[2038].

4. FLOTTE de Sassenage (-after 17 Mar 1321). The testament of “Agnes de Jacz”, dated 24 Sep 1312, requested burial in the church of Laval Bressieux, bequeathed property to “...Beatrix sister of her husband nun in Laval Bressieux, Flotte other sister of her husband...”[2039]. The testament of “Alaysa de Beauvoir veuve de feu Guiffrey de Miolans (Meolano) seigneur de Morestel”, attested 17 Mar 1321, bequeathed property to “sa nièce Flotte religieuse de Salettes...”[2040].

5. [PHILIPPINE de Sassenage (-after 1337). The testament of “dame Philipes de Sassenage femme de messire Amédée de Chatte”, dated 1337, named “Geoffray de Chatte” as her heir[2041]. The parentage of Philippine is not known. As François de Sassenage is already recorded with a daughter of this name (see above), she may have been the daughter of Albert. m AMEDEE de Chatte, son of --- (-after 1337).]

B. Co-SEIGNEURS de SASSENAGE, SEIGNEURS de MONTRIGAUD

[Four siblings], parents not identified. The chronology of his descendants suggests that Didier [IV] was born (very approximately) around [1230]. If that is correct, the chronology suggests that they could have been siblings of Aymar [V] de Sassenage. In any case, it is clear from the sources cited below that Didier and his descendants belonged to a junior branch of the family.

1. DIDIER [IV] de Sassenage ([1230]-before 1284, maybe [27 Oct 1276/5 Feb 1280]). Co-seigneur de Sassenage. “Guillaume d’Engins” acknowledged holding “le moulin d’Olete” from “Didier coseigneur de Sassenage”, for whose construction he had rights to wood from “la forêt...Naziers dont le tiers appartenait à Hugues de Sassenage” [Didier’s son or a brother?], by charter dated 27 Oct 1276[2042]. Didier is named as deceased father of Hugues in the 1284 source cited below. It seems unlikely that he was the same person as Didier [III] Seigneur de Sassenage who is named above, considering the possible parentage and succession of Aymar’s probable son Albert as seigneur (see below). He probably died before 5 Feb 1280, when his son Hugues is probably named (see below). m MARGUERITE de Chatte, daughter of --- (-25 Nov, after 18 May 1309). “Marguerite de Chatte dame de Sassenage” acknowledged receipt of rights from “Geoffray de Chatte fils et héritier d’Amédée” by charter dated 18 May 1309[2043]. The necrology of Saint-Robert records the death “VII Kal Dec” of “Margarita uxor dom. Desiderii condomini de Cassenatico”[2044]. Didier [IV] & his wife had one child:

a) HUGUES de Sassenage (-29 Nov [19 Feb 1318/15 Aug 1324]). Chorier names Hugues as youngest son of Aymar [V] de Sassenage (see below), noting that he was “Seigneur d’Iseron tige de la branche d’Iseron”, without citing any source which confirms this parentage[2045]. He cites other sources which purportedly name him as such but which appear better linked to Hugues son of Didier [IV] de Sassenage. [“Nobles Didier de Sassenage [Cassenatico] viguier de Romans, Guillaume Artaudi seigneur d’Aix, Aynard de la Tour seigneur de Vinay, Raymond de Montauban, Gilet et Guigonet Alamans, François et Hugues de Sassenage...” agreed an alliance to defend against all except “le dauphin Jean” by charter dated 5 Feb 1279 (O.S.)[2046]. It is not certain that this document refers to the same Hugues.] Dauphin Humbert granted property “au château de Sassenage et dans la paroisse de Vourey” to “François fils de feu Albert de Sassenage”, except “de ce à quoi il était tenu envers Hugues fils de feu Didier de Sassenage”, by charter dated 1284[2047]. A charter dated 10 Jun 1284 records that Anne Ctss de Viennois granted “François de Sassenage fils d’Albert” all that her father had possessed “au mandement de Sassenage et de Veurey”, except for “l’hommage que lui devait Hugues de Sassenage fils de Didier”, in return for other specified property[2048]. "...Hugonetus de Cassenatico..." was present in the charter dated mid-Dec 1284 which records a settlement of disputes between "Gastonem vicecomitem Bearnensem...et Beatricis filiam...Petri comitis Sabaudiæ uxorem eiusdem Gastonis" and “Humbertum dominum de Turre et Annam Dalphinam eius uxorem”[2049]. Pope Nicholas IV wrote to Guillaume Archbishop of Vienne, dated 22 Sep 1291, concerning the fire at Vienne Saint-Antoine caused by “Grato monachus monasterii Montismajoris...Aynardi domini de Castro novo fratris sui” who were attacked in revenge by “...Franciscus et Huguo de Cassenetico...”[2050]. “Hugues de Sassenage” granted rights to water from “[le] ruisseau du Nant” to “Jean et Guillaume Petinot” by charter dated 1291, confirmed 1292[2051].

m ([1180]) MARIE d'Auvergne, daughter of ROBERT [IV] Comte d'Auvergne & his wife Mathilde de Bourgogne [Capet] ([1160/65]-after 1229, bur Lyon Dominican Church). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the following document: "Albertus de Turre filius Alberti de Turre et Comitissæ filiæ Roberti comitis Arverniæ" confirmed donations to the Chartreuse de Portes by "Hugonis de Coliniaco" on the occasion of his marriage to "filiæ eius Beatricis" by undated charter[2162]. The date of her marriage is suggested by her being referred to (but not named) in her husband’s [1190] testament, which also refers to four children of the couple. Her birth date is estimated approximately based on the chronology of her parents’ lives, but bearing in mind the estimated date of her marriage. The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified. Her place of burial is confirmed by the 24 Feb 1249 (O.S.) testament of her son Guy, cited below.

Albert [II] & his wife had [nine or more] children:

1. ALBERT [III] de la Tour-du-Pin ([1180/85]-[Apr 1259/Jun 1260]). He is referred to but not named in his father’s [1190] testament, when he was under age. "Albertus dominus de Turre…Albertus filius meus" donated property to the priory of Ynimont by charter dated 1202[2163]. The likely birth date of his wife Beatrix suggests that Albert [III] was probably still a child at the time of his first betrothal, suggesting his birth in [1190]. "Albertus de Turre filius Alberti de Turre et Comitissæ filiæ Roberti comitis Arverniæ" confirmed donations to the Chartreuse de Portes by "Hugonis de Coliniaco" on the occasion of his marriage to "filiæ eius Beatricis" by undated charter[2164].

[Betrothed] (conditional contract 21 Nov 1198) to --- de Bressieux, daughter of AYMAR de Bressieux & his wife Aynarde --- (-after 1198). The contract of marriage between "Dom. Aynarda quondam uxor Audemari de Brisseu et mater Audemari pueri" and "Arberto de Turre…filiam suam" is dated 1198, and provides that if the prospective bridegroom died before the marriage, "Arbertus filius Arberti" would marry "sororem dicti Audemari"[2170]. m (before 4 May 1220) BEATRIX de Coligny, daughter of HUGUES Seigneur de Coligny-le-Neuf & his wife Beatrix d'Albon Dauphine de Viennois, Ctss d'Albon ([1194/95 or soon after]-[1240/Jan 1242]). "Albertus de Turre filius Alberti de Turre et Comitissæ filiæ Roberti comitis Arverniæ" confirmed donations to the Chartreuse de Portes by "Hugonis de Coliniaco" on the occasion of his marriage to "filiæ eius Beatricis" by undated charter[2171]. Her birth date is estimated bearing in mind her mother’s age when she married Beatrix’s father. "Albertus de Turre, dominus de Turre et Coligniaco et Beatrix uxor mea et filii" confirmed purchases of property by the bishop of Belley by charter dated 1228[2172]. She was named as deceased in her husband’s donation dated Jan 1241 (O.S.), cited above. The estimated birth date of her son Humbert suggests that Béatrix died giving birth to him. Albert [III] & his wife had seven children:

a) ALBERT [IV] de la Tour-du-Pin (-before Feb 1269). "Hugo de Turre, abbas Claromontensis, et Guido frater eiusdem, canonicus Claromontensis" noted a donation to Cluny by charter dated 13 Oct 1238, which names “dominum Albertum de Turre patrem nostrum, et Albertum filium eius fratrem nostrum…”[2173]. “Albert seigneur de la Tour et son fils Albert” donated revenue to Notre-Dame d’Ambronay, for the soul of “leur épouse et mère Béatrix“, by charter dated Jan 1241 (O.S.)[2174]. “Hugo...Claromontanus episcopus et Humbertus dominus Bellijoci, et Arbertus dominus de Turre, et Guido archidiaconus Lugdunensis, et Arbertus de Turre, et Hugo senescalcus Lugdunensis fratres” agreed an alliance under a charter dated Sep 1246[2175]. Seigneur de Coligny: “Albertus de Turre dominus Coloniaci, filius Alberti” renounced rights “super manso de Faye...et...de la Barandonire” in favour of “domus hospitalis Jerosolimitani de les Foillies” by charter dated Feb 1246 (O.S.?)[2176]. The testament of “G. de Turre archidiaconus Lugdunensis”, dated 24 Feb 1249 (O.S.), bequeathed property to “Hugonem senescalcum Lugdunensem...Humberti nepoti meo...frater suus...nepotem meum Albertum...”[2177]. "Albers Segnor de la Tor et Albers son filz" swore homage to "Monsegnor Perron de Savoye" by charter dated Sep 1250[2178]. Seigneur de la Tour-du-Pin. “Albert le jeune seigneur de la Tour et de Coligny”, on the advice of “son père Albert de la Tour, de ses frères Hugues de la Tour sénéchal de Lyon, et Humbert de la Tour” granted freedoms to his town of Treffort en Bresse by charter dated Apr 1259[2179]. "Albertus dominus de Turre filius quondam domini Alberti de Turre" confirmed the grant of sheep grazing rights to Grenoble Saint-Robert made by "Albertus quondam dominus de Turre avus noster et dictus dominus Albertus pater noster" by charter dated 2 Jan 1265[2180]. The Feb 1269 charter of his wife quoted below implies that Albert was deceased at the time. m ([Sep 1250/Mar 1251]) ADALASIA Fiesco, daughter of [TEODORO/OPIZZONE] Fiesco [Conte di Lavagna] & his wife Simona --- (-after May 1273). Matthew Paris records that Pope Innocent IV arranged the marriage of his niece to "domino de Tur de Pin" in 1251 and that he accepted his bride "non ratione personæ muliebris, sed pecuniæ eam concomitantis"[2181]. Her mother’s name is confirmed by the reference to her mother in the May 1273 testament quoted below. On the basis of the primary sources currently identified, her father could have been either Teodoro Fieschi or his brother Opizzone Fieschi, whose wives were both named Simona. The marriage presumably formed part of arrangements when Albert [III] swore homage to Pierre de Savoie in Sep 1250 for la Tour (see above). “Adalasia dame de la Tour” placed under her protection “des hommes de la chartreuse” at the request of the prior of Portes by charter dated Mar 1251[2182]. “Adalasia domina de Turre” took under her protection “tres homines...ad Chalona...” by charter dated Dec 1251 and others by charter dated Mar 1252[2183]. "Humbertus de Turre Delphinus Viennæ" confirmed the rights of "fratrum nostrum Dom. Albertum quondam dominum de Turre et de Coliniaco…dom. Alisiæ quondam uxori suæ" in "castrum sancti Saturnini…villam de Brango…villæ et castri Crimiaci…" as well as in all property (unspecified) which Alix had acquired from "Guefredo de Vireu domicello quondam filio Dom. Alberti de Vireu militis defuncti et Berengariæ eiusdem G. matris, quæ acquisita sunt in mandamento castri de Turre" and from "Giroudo Vimont quondam clerico", by charter dated Feb 1269, which also provides if "Alisiæ ad secundas nuptias convolaret"[2184]. The family connections, if any, between Adalasia and Guifred de Virieu and Géraud Vimont are not specified in the document. In the case of the former, it seems unlikely that he was Adalasia’s first husband as the document refers to the possibility of her "secundas nuptias" not "tertias". In any case, Guifred de Virieu is named in a document dated 1267 (although it appears that he died before Feb 1269)[2185], when it is likely that Alix was already married to Albert [IV] de la Tour-du-Pin. Maybe they were related to Adalasia through her mother. The testament of "Adalasiæ relictæ Alberti junioris domini de Turre Pini et de Coloniaco", dated May 1273, bequeathed property to "Humberto de Turre fratri domini mei et mariti mei…dominæ Simondæ…matri meæ…domine Comitisse del Borget consanguinee mee…Thome et Amedeo de Sabaudia filiis eiusdem…Hugoni de Turre senescallo Lugdun."[2186]. Could "…domine Comitisse del Borget consanguinee mee… " in this document be Simone [Sibylle] Dame de Bâgé, wife of Amédée de Savoie whose mother was Adalasia’s sister?

b) MARIE de la Tour-du-Pin (-after Feb 1266). The marriage contract between "Willelmi comitis Gebenn…R. filium" and "Guigonis Dalphini Vienn. et Albonensis…dominam M. filiam domini A. de Turre" is dated 8 Jun 1241[2187]. Dame de Varey, de Vaux et de Saint-Sorlin. “Maria comitissa Gebennensis et domina de Varey” confirmed the donation to the Chartreuse at Meria in Bugey made by “bonæ memoriæ Hugo dominus Coloniaci quondam pater [error for avus] noster” with the consent of “Willelmus dominus Coloniaci frater quondam dicti domini Hugonis”, by charter dated Feb 1266[2188]. m (contract 8 Jun 1241) RODOLPHE de Genève, son of GUILLAUME [II] Comte de Genève & his [second] wife Alix --- ([before 1215]-29 May 1265). He succeeded in 1253 as Comte de Genève.

c) HUGUES de la Tour-du-Pin (-after 1289). "Hugo de Turre, abbas Claromontensis, et Guido frater eiusdem, canonicus Claromontensis" noted a donation to Cluny by charter dated 13 Oct 1238, which names “dominum Albertum de Turre patrem nostrum, et Albertum filium eius fratrem nostrum…”[2189]. “Hugo...Claromontanus episcopus et Humbertus dominus Bellijoci, et Arbertus dominus de Turre, et Guido archidiaconus Lugdunensis, et Arbertus de Turre, et Hugo senescalcus Lugdunensis fratres” agreed an alliance under a charter dated Sep 1246[2190]. Under her testament dated Mar 1249, "Alays de Roians, domina castri Sancti Johannis de Bornay, uxor quondam nobilis viri dom Ose Sicce" bequeathes property to "…Ugone nepoti meo de Turre, senescalco Lugdunensi" and also names "fratre meo dom^e Alberto de Turre"[2191]. The testament of “G. de Turre archidiaconus Lugdunensis”, dated 24 Feb 1249 (O.S.), bequeathed property to “Hugonem senescalcum Lugdunensem...Humberti nepoti meo...frater suus...nepotem meum Albertum...”[2192]. “Albert le jeune seigneur de la Tour et de Coligny”, on the advice of “son père Albert de la Tour, de ses frères Hugues de la Tour sénéchal de Lyon, et Humbert de la Tour” granted freedoms to his town of Treffort en Bresse by charter dated Apr 1259[2193]. “Drodonet seigneur de Beauvoir-de-Marc, fils de Guillaume sr dud. lieu” granted “[le] château...de St-Jean-de-Bournay” to “son cousin Hugues de la Tour sénéchal de Lyon” by charter dated 1 Apr 1278[2194].

d) GUY de la Tour-du-Pin (-1286). "Hugo de Turre, abbas Claromontensis, et Guido frater eiusdem, canonicus Claromontensis" noted a donation to Cluny by charter dated 13 Oct 1238, which names “dominum Albertum de Turre patrem nostrum, et Albertum filium eius fratrem nostrum…”[2195]. Bishop of Clermont . The epitaph of "Guido de Turre 37 episcopus Arverniæ" records his death in 1286[2196].

e) BEATRIX de la Tour-du-Pin (-after 21 Sep 1280). A charter dated 8 Sep 1276 acknowledged receipt of money from "Beatrix de la Tour, femme de Guillaume de Roussillon sire d’Annonay, alors outre-mer" by "Guillaume abbé de Saint-Pierre"[2197]. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 21 Sep 1280 under which "Beatrix de Turre domina Rossillonis et Annoniaci, relicta bonæ memoriæ Dom. Willelmi de Rossillone" donated property "in parrochia de la Versin" to the Cartusians to found the abbey of Sainte-Croix[2198]. m GUILLAUME Seigneur de Roussillon et d’Annonay, son of ARTAUD [IV] Seigneur de Roussillon & his wife M--- [de Genève] ([before 1239]-Château d'Annonay 21 Dec 1277, bur Notre-Dame [Vienne]).

f) ALIX de la Tour-du-Pin (-after 1289). Her parentage is indicated by the presence of her brother Humbert in the Apr 1274 charter of her daughter Catherine. “Humbertus dominus Montislupelli” granted privileges to Montluel, with the consent of “...Guidonis de Montelupello domini de Castellione in Chautagnia...fratris [nostri]...domine Alasie domine Montislupelli uxoris nostre”, by charter dated Mar 1276[2199]. An inscription in the church of Montluel St Barthélemy records the church’s foundation in 1289 by “dominum Humbertum dominum Montislupelli et...dominam Alaysiam de Turre eius uxorem”[2200]. Dame de Verfieu. m HUMBERT [II] Seigneur de Montluel, son of PIERRE [I] Seigneur de Montluel & his wife --- (-after Apr 1289).

g) HUMBERT [I] de la Tour-du-Pin ([1240]-monastère du Val-Sainte-Marie 12 Apr 1307, bur Val-Sainte-Marie). The testament of “G. de Turre archidiaconus Lugdunensis”, dated 24 Feb 1249 (O.S.), bequeathed property to “Hugonem senescalcum Lugdunensem...Humberti nepoti meo...frater suus...nepotem meum Albertum...”[2201]. His parentage is confirmed by the testament of his sister-in-law "Adalasiæ relictæ Alberti junioris domini de Turre Pini et de Coloniaco", dated May 1273, which bequeathed property to "Humberto de Turre fratri domini mei et mariti mei…"[2202].

2. [son ([1186/90]-). A second son is referred to, but not named, in his father’s [1190] testament. Presumably he could have been one of the other sons named below.]

3. [two daughters ([1180/90]-). They are referred to, but not named, in their father’s [1190] testament. Presumably they could have been the same persons as two of the other daughters named below.]

4. [daughter ([1190/95]-after 21 Nov 1198). The contract of marriage between "Dom. Aynarda quondam uxor Audemari de Brisseu et mater Audemari pueri" and "Arberto de Turre…filiam suam" is dated 21 Nov 1198, and provides that if the prospective bridegroom died before the marriage, "Arbertus filius Arberti" would marry "sororem dicti Audemari"[2204]. It is not known to which daughter of Albert this contract refers. Betrothed (conditional contract 1198) to AYMAR [IV] de Bressieux, son of AYMAR [III] de Bressieux & his wife Aynarde --- (-after 1198).]

5. HUGUES de la Tour (-Palestine 28 Dec 1249). Bishop of Clermont 1227. “Hugo...Claromontanus episcopus et Humbertus dominus Bellijoci, et Arbertus dominus de Turre, et Guido archidiaconus Lugdunensis, et Arbertus de Turre, et Hugo senescalcus Lugdunensis fratres” agreed an alliance under a charter dated Sep 1246[2205].

6. GUY de la Tour (-24 Feb 1250, bur Lyon Dominican church). His parentage is confirmed by the following document: the testament of “Siboud seigneur de Beauvoir[-de-Marc]”, dated 23 Jul 1242, ordered the restoration of her dowry to “son épouse S., à la décision de Guy archidiacre de Lyon et de son frère A[lbert] seigneur de la Tour”[2206]. Archdeacon of Lyon. “Hugo...Claromontanus episcopus et Humbertus dominus Bellijoci, et Arbertus dominus de Turre, et Guido archidiaconus Lugdunensis, et Arbertus de Turre, et Hugo senescalcus Lugdunensis fratres” agreed an alliance under a charter dated Sep 1246[2207].

The necrology of Lyon records the death 24 Feb 1249 (O.S.) of “Guy de la Tour archidiacre de...Lyon”[2209].

7. [ALIX (-after 5 Oct 1256). The primary source which confirms the parentage of the wife of Guillaume [II] Comte de Genève has not yet been identified. Guichenon states that she was "filia…Alberti III domini de Turre Pini et Mariæ de Turre-Averniæ" adding that she received as dower "castra Cornillonis et de Bornant" as shown by her testament dated 5 Oct 1256[2210]. However, Bert Kamp has pointed out that there is no information available which confirms the basis for Guichenon’s statement and that the marriage of her son Rodolphe, with his first cousin if Alix had been the daughter of Albert [II], makes this affiliation improbable giving the difficulties in obtaining the necessary dispensation at the time[2211]. A further line of enquiry to pursue is tracing the ownership of the dower properties which are mentioned by Guichenon: it is unclear why he would have referred to these at all in the sentence concerning Alix’s parentage unless they could be traced back to the Tour du Pin family. The date of her marriage is suggested by the estimated birth date of her son Rodolphe (see below). "Willelmus…comes Gebenn." recognised a loan from the monastery of Saint-Victor, confirmed by "A. comitissa…Rodulfus filius comitis", by charter dated 13 Jan 1231, witnessed by "eiusdem uxor Alaysia comitissa"[2212]. "Vullielmus comes Gebenn., Ales uxor nostra et Rodulphus filius noster" granted compensation to the bishopric of Geneva for the wrongs which they had committed by charter dated Feb 1236[2213]. "Villelmus comes Gebennensis" confirmed the foundation of the Chartreuse monastery of Pomiers by "Villelmo patre meo", with the consent of "Alesia comitissa uxor mea et Rodulphus filius noster primogenitus cum filiis nostris…Amedeo…episcopi Diensi, Aymone cantore Gebennensi, Henrico, Roberto canonico Viennensi, Villelmo, Guigone", for the soul of "Humberti fratris nostri quondam comitis Gebennensis", by charter dated 1252[2214]. The testament of "Willelmus comes Gebenn." is dated 9 Nov 1252 and names "primogenitum nostrum Rodulfum…filio nostro Amedeo…Dien. Ep…A. comitissa Geben."[2215]. "Amedeus…Dien. Ep. filius quondam D. Guillelmi bone memorie comitis Geben." delegated the execution of his father’s testament to "fratrem nostrum Rodulphum primogenitum", with the consent of "fratrum nostrorum…Henrici layci, Roberti canonici Vien., Guillelmi et Guigonis clericorum filiorum antedicti D. comitis Geben.", by charter dated 8 Jan 1253, witnessed by "Ay. dno. Fucign…Dne. Alaysie…matris nostre comitisse Gebenn…religiose Dne. Agathe sororis nostre Abbatisse de Monte…"[2216]. The testament of "A. comitissa Gebenn." is dated 5 Oct 1256 and bequeathes "castrum de Curnillon et…totum de Bornans…" to "filio nostro Rodolpho comiti Gebenn."[2217]. m ([before 1215]) GUILLAUME [II] Comte de Genéve, son of GUILLAUME [I] Comte de Genève & his second wife Béatrix de Faucigny (-25 Nov 1252).]

8. ALASIE ([1185/93?]-after Mar 1249, bur abbaye de Bonnevaux). Her birth date is estimated based on the rather tight chronology for her two marriages. The testament of “Flote [dame de Royans]”, dated Dec 1231, appointed “sa mère Alays” as universal heir, naming “Adhemarius de Poitiers son fils, qu’elle avait eu de Guillaume de Poitiers son mari” as substitute[2218]. Under her testament dated Mar 1249, "Alays de Roians, domina castri Sancti Johannis de Bornay, uxor quondam nobilis viri dom Ose Sicce" elected burial "apud…monasterium Bone Vallis", donated property for the anniversary of “nobilis viri quondam domi Drodoni de Bello Visu primi mariti mei”, bequeathed property to "Dom^e Sibille uxori nobilis viri domⁱ Audemari de Pictavia, nepotis mei…nobilem dom^am Flotam filiam meam…Ugone nepoti meo de Turre, senescalco Lugdunensi" and also names "fratre meo dom^e Alberto de Turre"[2219]. m firstly DRODON de Beauvoir, son of --- (-[1205/07?]). m secondly ([1207/09?]) RAIMBAUD Bérenger de Royans "Ossassica" Seigneur de Royans, son of GUIDELIN & his wife --- ([before 1185?]-before Feb 1234).

9. [SIBYLLE ([before 1200]-after 23 Jul 1242). Her parentage is indicated and her marriage confirmed by the following document: the testament of “Siboud seigneur de Beauvoir[-de-Marc]”, dated 23 Jul 1242, appointed as his universal heir “son fils Guillaume”, bequeathed property to “son fils Drodon...ses autres fils Siboud et Hugues...[ses filles] M. femme de Guigues Alamant et A. femme de Guillaume Chabue”, and ordered the restoration of her dowry to “son épouse S., à la décision de Guy archidiacre de Lyon et de son frère A[lbert] seigneur de la Tour”[2220]. Guichenon dates this document to 10 Aug 1242 (without quoting any text)[2221]. The relationship between the testator’s wife and the two brothers tasked with deciding the modalities of her dowry’s return is not explicit in this document extract (“son” in the phrase “son frère” could presumably apply to either “A[lbert]” or to “S.” or to both of them). Similar testatory provisions relating to dowry/dower in other testaments can be shown to confer decision-making roles on the wife/widow’s closest senior male relatives. In this particular case, the chronology suggests that Guy and Albert were probably brothers of “S”. If they had been her first cousins (paternal or maternal), it is unclear why the la Tour brothers would have been selected as her representatives instead of other closer family members. It is interesting to note that the names of the testator’s children were not those associated with the immediate family of Albert [II] Seigneur de la Tour (with the possible exception of “A”, which could have been the same as his daughter “Alasie”). At first sight, this might indicate that Diane Sibylle was a later wife of the testator and not the mother of his children. However, the 4 Dec 1277 testament of her husband’s son Guillaume de Beauvoir names Humbert [I] Seigneur de la Tour-du-Pin “consanguineus meus”, a relationship which is most easily explained if Guillaume’s mother was Humbert’s paternal aunt as suggested here. Her family origin is also indicated by the following document: [her grandson] “Drodonet seigneur de Beauvoir-de-Marc, fils de Guillaume sr dud. lieu” granted “[le] château...de St-Jean-de-Bournay” to “son cousin Hugues de la Tour sénéchal de Lyon” by charter dated 1 Apr 1278[2222]. The primary source which confirms her full names has not been identified. Her having four adult sons (their having attained the age of majority being indicated by the absence of arrangements for their guardianship) and two married daughters in 1242, suggests that Diane Sibylle must have been born before 1200. m SIBOUD [IV] Seigneur de Beauvoir[-de-Marc], son of GUILLAUME [II] de Beauvoir & his wife Clémence --- (-after 5 Nov 1246).]

An arbitral sentence dated 1 Nov 1284 settled the dispute between "Aynardum de Turre dominum de Vignayco" and “Aynardum dominum de Castro-novo et Motæ-Beati Anthonii” relating to "castrorum de Vatiliaco et de Armevo"[2234]. “Albert de la Tour...et...Marguerite sa mère” reached agreement with “le seigneur de Vinay” by charter dated to [1290][2235]. The testament of "Agnes uxor nobilis viri Aynardi de Turre domini de Vignayco", dated 1 Apr 1298, bequeathed property to “...Aynardo marito meo...”[2236]. He is named as deceased in the 21 Oct 1301 charter of his son Henri, cited below. m firstly BEATRIX, daughter of ---.

"Aynardus de Turre domicellus dominus de Vinay" granted properties to "Henricus eius filius primogenitus emancipatus", sworn by “Agnetis de Vilariis uxoris dicti Aynardi”, by charter dated 18 Jul 1279[2237]. She is named (“Alix sa femme actuelle”) in the 7 Sep 1282 testament of her husband. The testament of "Agnes uxor nobilis viri Aynardi de Turre domini de Vignayco", dated 1 Apr 1298, chose burial "in cimiterio prioratus Beate Marie de Bello Loco, ordinis Sancti Ruffi de Valencia", bequeathed property to “Hugoneto de Castro Novo filio condam Beatricis filie mee...Johanni filio meo...Bertrandeto filio Henrici filii mei...Aynardo marito meo...”, appointed "Henricum filium meum" as her universal heir in "castro...de Turre Pinus et in castro...de Vignayco", and “Guillelmum filium meum archidiaconum Vivariensem” as her universal heir “in castro...Armeu”[2238]. Ainard [I] & his first wife had one child:

i) BERLION [III] de la Tour (-killed in battle ----). The testament of “Aynard de la Tour”, dated 7 Sep 1282, requested anniversaries for himself “sa femme Béatrix et son fils Bellion tué dans la guerre du dauphin contre les Sabaudi”[2239].

Aynard [I] & his second wife had five children:

Alixiæ conjugum, future uxore...ipsius Henrici...”, sworn by “Agnetis de Vilariis uxoris dicti Aynardi”, by charter dated 18 Jul 1279[2240].

- see below.

iii) GUILLAUME de la Tour (-after 12 Jul 1303). Guillaume’s parentage is confirmed by his mother’s 1 Apr 1298 testament, but he was not named in his father’s 7 Sep 1282 testament which names “son fils...unique Pierre de la Tour” as his heir. The absence of Guillaume (as well as Guillaume’s brother Henri) may be explained by a temporary dispute. Another possibility is that the summary of the document as reproduced by Chevalier is inaccurate. Archdeacon of Viviers. The testament of "Agnes uxor nobilis viri Aynardi de Turre domini de Vignayco", dated 1 Apr 1298, appointed "Henricum filium meum" as her universal heir in "castro...de Turre Pinus et in castro...de Vignayco", and “Guillelmum filium meum archidiaconum Vivariensem” as her universal heir “in castro...Armeu”[2241]. “Guillaume de la Tour, archidiacre de Viviers, fils d’Aynard de la Tour seigneur de Vinay et d’Agnès” donated property to the prior of Ecouges by charter dated 12 Jul 1303[2242].

iv) BEATRIX de la Tour (-before 1 Apr 1298). The testament of “Aynard de la Tour”, dated 7 Sep 1282, bequeathed property to “...son neveu Eynard...sa fille Béatrix”, appointed “Alix sa femme actuelle” as guardian of “cette fille et de son fils...unique Pierre de la Tour damoiseau” during their minority, and appointed the last named as his universal heir[2243]. The testament of "Agnes uxor nobilis viri Aynardi de Turre domini de Vignayco", dated 1 Apr 1298, bequeathed property to “Hugoneto de Castro Novo filio condam Beatricis filie mee...”[2244]. m --- de Châteauneuf, son of ---.

v) PIERRE de la Tour . The testament of “Aynard de la Tour”, dated 7 Sep 1282, bequeathed property to “...son neveu Eynard...sa fille Béatrix”, appointed “Alix sa femme actuelle” as guardian of “cette fille et de son fils...unique Pierre de la Tour damoiseau” during their minority, and appointed the last named as his universal heir[2245]. No further reference to Pierre has been found. He presumably died young as he is not named in his mother’s 1 Apr 1298 testament.

vi) JEAN de la Tour . The testament of "Agnes uxor nobilis viri Aynardi de Turre domini de Vignayco", dated 1 Apr 1298, bequeathed property to “...Johanni filio meo...”[2246].

Ainard [I] had one illegitimate son by an unknown mistress:

vii) AMBLARD . The testament of “Aynard de la Tour”, dated 7 Sep 1282, bequeathed property to “son fils naturel Amblard...son neveu Eynard...sa fille Béatrix”[2247].

b) [--- de la Tour . Assuming that “neveu” in the source cited below indicated nephew, Ainard [II]’s father was the brother of Ainard [I]. Another possibility is that “neveu” in the extract was a translation of “nepos” and in that case the term meant grandson. If that is correct, Ainard [II] was the son of either Berlion [III] or Henri, the older sons of Ainard [I], although it would then be unclear why Ainard [I] appointed his minor son Pierre as his heir under his 7 Sep 1282 testament.] m ---. One child:

i) AINARD [II] de la Tour . The testament of “Aynard de la Tour”, dated 7 Sep 1282, bequeathed property to “...son neveu Eynard...”[2248].

The primary source which confirms that the identity of Berlion [IV] has not been identified. If he was the same person as Berlion [III], it is unclear why his father Ainard [I] would have appointed his younger son Pierre as his heir rather than the son of his older son. Another possibility is that Berlion [IV] was another younger son of Berlion [II].

1. BERLION [IV] de la Tour (-before [1290]). m MARGUERITE, daughter of --- (-after 18 Jan 1292). “Albert de la Tour...et...Marguerite sa mère” reached agreement with “le seigneur de Vinay” by charter dated to [1290][2249]. “Marguerite veuve de Berlion de la Tour et son fils Berlion de la Tour” sold certain revenues to “Henri de la Tour” by charter dated 18 Jan 1292 (O.S.)[2250]. Berlion & his wife had two children:

a) ALBERT de la Tour (-[1290/18 Jan 1293]). “Albert de la Tour...et...Marguerite sa mère” reached agreement with “le seigneur de Vinay” by charter dated to [1290][2251]. The 18 Jan 1292 (O.S.) document quoted below suggests that Albert had died before that date.

b) BERLION de la Tour (-after 18 Jan 1292). “Marguerite veuve de Berlion de la Tour et son fils Berlion de la Tour” sold certain revenues to “Henri de la Tour” by charter dated 18 Jan 1292 (O.S.)[2252].

1. PIERRE de la Tour (-after 23 Apr 1293). No indication has been found of Pierre’s parentage. From a chronological point of view, he could have been another younger son of Berlion [II]. Prior of Antenaves. A charter dated 23 Apr 1293 records an agreement between “Pierre de la Tour prieur d’Antonaves” and “Bertrand de Mévouillon seigneur de Barret, au nom de Galburge sa fille, veuve de Guillaume de Mévouillon seigneur de Châteauneuf[-de-Chabre], de ses fils“ concerning revenue at Pomet[2253].

HENRI de la Tour, son of AINARD [I] de la Tour Seigneur de Vinay & his second wife Agnes de Villars (-[24 Feb 1323/16 Dec 1325]). "Aynardus de Turre domicellus dominus de Vinay" granted “castrum de Vinay...castrum...Armeus...Vatilleus...Nerpol...” to "Henricus eius filius primogenitus emancipatus" and to “successorum masculorum tantum sibi nascendorum ex Beatricia filia Dom. de Baucio quondam domini de Mayranciis et dom. Alixiæ conjugum, future uxore...ipsius Henrici...”, sworn by “Agnetis de Vilariis uxoris dicti Aynardi”, by charter dated 18 Jul 1279[2254]. Henri was not named in his father’s 7 Sep 1282 testament which names “son fils...unique Pierre de la Tour” as his heir. However, the 1 Apr 1298 testament of his mother bequeathed property to “...Bertrandeto filio Henrici filii mei...”, suggesting that it is unlikely that Henri was born after 1282. The inevitable conclusion is that Ainard [I] had only one son named Henri. His absence, as well as the absence of his brother Guillaume, from their father’s testament may be explained by a temporary dispute. Another possibility is that the summary of the document as reproduced by Chevalier is inaccurate. The testament of "Agnes uxor nobilis viri Aynardi de Turre domini de Vignayco", dated 1 Apr 1298, appointed "Henricum filium meum" as her universal heir in "castro...de Turre Pinus et in castro...de Vignayco", and “Guillelmum filium meum archidiaconum Vivariensem” as her universal heir “in castro...Armeu”[2255]. Seigneur de Vinay. “Henri de la Tour, fils de feu Aynard de la Tour, seigneur de Vinay” swore homage to Humbert Dauphin de Viennois for “Vinay” by charter dated 21 Oct 1301[2256]. A charter dated 18 Apr 1307 records homages sworn to Humbert Dauphin de Viennois, including "...Henricus dominus de Vinay..."[2257]. "Religiosum fratrem Anthonium de Castro-novo præceptorem Trecensem ordinis Sancti Anthonii" swore allegiance to “Henricum dominum de Turre et Vatilliaci...Vignayci” for “fortalicium...Montelegio” by charter dated 5 Mar 1313[2258]. "Hugo de Breyssiaco domicellus...Margarita eius uxor et Humbertus eius filius" swore allegiance to “Henrico de Turre domino de Vinay” by charter dated 17 Jun 1320[2259]. A charter dated 24 Feb 1322 (O.S.?) records the boundaries between "Henricum de Turre dominum Vignaici et Hugonetum de Turre eius filium" and “Odobertum de Castro-novo dominum dicti loci”[2260].

m (after 18 Jul 1279) BEATRIX de Baux, daughter of BERTRAND de Baux Seigneur de Meyrargues & his second wife Alix --- ([1262/65]-). The testament of "Bertrand de Baux I seigneur de Meyrargues“, dated [Jan/Aug] 1266, bequeathed property to “...sa fille Béatrix soit religieuse”, and named “son épouse Alix tutrice de ses enfants Raymond, Alaisette, Béatrix...”[2261]. "Aynardus de Turre domicellus dominus de Vinay" granted “castrum de Vinay...castrum...Armeus...Vatilleus...Nerpol...” to "Henricus eius filius primogenitus emancipatus" and to “successorum masculorum tantum sibi nascendorum ex Beatricia filia Dom. de Baucio quondam domini de Mayranciis et dom. Alixiæ conjugum, future uxore...ipsius Henrici...”, sworn by “Agnetis de Vilariis uxoris dicti Aynardi”, by charter dated 18 Jul 1279[2262].

Henri & his wife had five children:

1. BERTRAND de la Tour (-after 1 Apr 1298). The testament of "Agnes uxor nobilis viri Aynardi de Turre domini de Vignayco", dated 1 Apr 1298, bequeathed property to “...Bertrandeto filio Henrici filii mei...”[2263].

2. HUGUES de la Tour (-[13 Mar 1333 (O.S.?)/31 Mar 1334]). A charter dated 24 Feb 1322 (O.S.?) records the boundaries between "Henricum de Turre dominum Vignaici et Hugonetum de Turre eius filium" and “Odobertum de Castro-novo dominum dicti loci”[2264]. Père Anselme notes that Hugues was called “Turpin” in documents, which Anselme suggests was a corruption of “la Tour-du-Pin”, and records charters dated 16 Dec 1325, 27 Jun 1327, 19 Oct 1329 and 13 Mar 1333 (O.S.?) in which he is named[2265]. Seigneur de Vinay. "Hugo de Turre dictus Turpinus dominus Vignayci" swore allegiance to Guigues Dauphin de Viennois for “castrum suum de Vinay” by charter dated 16 Dec 1325[2266]. "Ponzonus de Nerpodo condominus dicti loci et dominus de Chalmen" swore allegiance to “Hugoni de Turre militi domino de Vinayco” by charter dated 13 Mar 1333[2267]. Hugues presumably died before 31 Mar 1334, the date of the charter in which his son Ainard [III] is named. m ---. Père Anselme names her “Aymare de Tournon, fille aînée de Guy seigneur de Tournon et d’Alix de la Roche-en-Renier, au rapport de Guichenon”[2268]. Hugues & his wife had four children:

Chapter 13. SEIGNEURS de TULLINS

Tullins is located in the present-day French départment of Isère, arrondissement Grenoble, canton Tullins, on the south-eastern outskirts of Voiran, about 15 kilometres north-west of Grenoble.

1. ATENULFE [I] de Tullins (-9 Sep 1091). Seigneur de Tullins. "Domnus Atenulfus de Tollino et uxor eius Agnes et Guigo et Rainerius et Atenulfus fratres, de eodem castro..." donated “duas ecclesias de Tollino” to Vienne Saint-André-le-Bas by charter dated 9 Sep 1091, subscribed by “Atenulfi et Nantelmi fratris eius...”[2293]. The document does not specify that the three named brothers were brothers of the main donor, or the latter’s family relationship, if any, with the two subscribing brothers, but the unusual name Atenulf suggests some family connection. m AGNES, daughter of --- (-after 9 Sep 1091). "Domnus Atenulfus de Tollino et uxor eius Agnes..." donated “duas ecclesias de Tollino” to Vienne Saint-André-le-Bas by charter dated 9 Sep 1091[2294].

2. ATENULFE [II] de Tullins (-after 1164). “...Aténulphe de Tullins, Armand de Rives...” were named as guarantors in the charter dated 1164 in which “Geoffroy de Moirans...” granted freedoms to Moirans[2295].

3. DIDIER de Tullins (-after Oct 1179). “...Didier de Tullins...” witnessed the charter dated [10] Oct 1179 under which “le chanoine de Die Raymond Bérenger” donated “les châteaux de Foillans...” to his church[2296].

4. AYMAR [Adémar] [I] de Tullins (-after 1192). “Le chanoine Rainier” donated property “dans le mandement de Beauregard” to Romans, noting that “Lantelme de Mercurol et son neveu Adémar de Tullins (Toillino) en auront la jouissance”, by charter dated to the 12th century[2297]. If “neveu” is used in the sense of nephew or grandson, Lantelme de Mercurol was presumably either Aymar’s maternal grandfather or maternal uncle. “Isard de Bellegarde et Aynard de Tullins, mari de Johetha, veuve de son frère Guillaume” consented to donations made by Guillaume to Bonnevaux by charter dated 1192[2298]. m as her second husband, JOHETE, widow of GUILLAUME de Bellegarde, daughter of --- (-after 1192). “Isard de Bellegarde et Aynard de Tullins, mari de Johetha, veuve de son frère Guillaume” consented to donations made by Guillaume to Bonnevaux by charter dated 1192[2299].

5. GUIGUES [I] de Tullins (-after Feb 1209). “...Guigo de Tollin...” was named among the guarantors of the contract of marriage between "Dom. Aynarda quondam uxor Audemari de Brisseu et mater Audemari pueri" and "Arberto de Turre…filiam suam" idated 21 Nov 1198[2300]. “...Guigues de Tullins...” was named among the guarantors in the charter dated 1209, after 22 Feb under which “Berlion seigneur de Moirans” confirmed the privileges of Moirans[2301].

1. AYMAR [II] de Tullins (-before 25 Oct 1256, bur Tullins Saint-Laurence). Seigneur de Tullins. He is named as deceased in the [1261?] charter of his son Guigues, quoted below, and was presumably also dead 25 Oct 1256 when his son is called seigneur de Tullins. His place of burial is confirmed by Aug 1281 charter quoted below under his son Guigues. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Aymar’s wife has not been identified. Aymar [II] & his wife had [three] children:

a) GUIGUES [II] de Tullins (-after 1 Apr 1283, [maybe 10 Aug 1285/Feb 1287], bur Tullins Saint-Laurence). “Marguerite veuve de Guigues Alamanni et son mari Jacelme de Grolée” acknowledged having received money “de Guigues de Tullins...pour dot de Marguerite” to “Odon Alamanni et le dauphin G[uigues]” by charter dated 5 Mar 1250 (O.S.)[2302]. Seigneur de Tullins. “Berlion de St-Quentin” sold his property “dans le mandement et territoire du châteu de Tullins” to “Guigues (Guy) seigneur de Tullins” by charter dated 25 Oct 1256[2303]. A charter dated to [1261?] records the arbitral judgment between Guichard prior of Saint-Robert de Cornillon and “Guigues de Tullins fils de feu Aimar” regarding various fiefs, “notamment la maison de la parerie du château de Tullins que le sire de Tullins avait détruite et qu’il est condamné à reconstruire”[2304]. “Guigues seigneur de Tullins” acknowledged having received payments from Béatrix Ctss de Vienne, which he promised to return with an additional payment “pour l’acquisition de Tullins” , by charter dated to [1276][2305]. A charter dated 10 Mar 1278 (O.S.) records an arbitral sentence settling a dispute between “Antelme seigneur de St-Quentin” and “Guigues seigneur de Tullins” concerning “la dot de Béatrix fille de Guigues et femme d’Antelme”[2306]. A charter dated Aug 1281 records the opening of the testament of “Guigues seigneur de Tullins”, in which he chose burial “dans le cimetière de l’église St-Laurent de Tullins auprès de son père”, named “son fils Aimar” as universal heir, except for legacies to “ses filles Béatrix épouse d’Antelme de St-Quentin et Françoise épouse de Rodolphe d’Entremont, à Guionet et Antelme fils de son fils Aimar...sa petite-fille Delme fille de Rodolphe de la Balme, à sa femme Galice, à Aude femme de son fils Aimar”[2307]. “Guigues seigneur de Tullins” granted “[le] château, seigneurie et juridiction de Tullins” to “Guy son petit-fils, enfant de son fils Aimar” on his marriage to “Béatrix fille de Guy de Montluel seigneur de Châtillon”, reserving to himself “l’usufruit, ainsi qu’à son fils Aimar”, by charter dated 1 Apr 1283[2308]. The testament of “Guy seigneur de Tullins”, dated 10 Aug 1285, names “son fils Aymard” as his heir[2309]: it is unclear whether this document is misdated or replaces the Aug 1281 testament. Guiges [II] certainly died before Feb 1287, when his son Aymar [II] is named seigneur de Tullins. m GALICE, daughter of ---. A charter dated Aug 1281 records the opening of the testament of “Guigues seigneur de Tullins”, in which he bequeathed property to “...sa femme Galice...”[2310]. No indication has been that Galice was the mother of her husband’s children, who could have been born from an otherwise unrecorded earlier marriage. Guigues [II] & his wife had eight children:

i) AYMAR [II] de Tullins (-[Feb 1287/Jun 1290]). A charter dated Aug 1281 records the opening of the testament of “Guigues seigneur de Tullins”, in which he named “son fils Aimar” as universal heir, except for legacies to “ses filles Béatrix épouse d’Antelme de St-Quentin et Françoise épouse de Rodolphe d’Entremont, à Guionet et Antelme fils de son fils Aimar...sa petite-fille Delme fille de Rodolphe de la Balme, à sa femme Galice, à Aude femme de son fils Aimar”[2311].

iii) ANSELME de Tullins (-[30 Jul 1274/Aug 1281]). Francican monk: the testament of “Guy de Tullins chanoine de Vienne”, dated 30 Jul 1274, names “Anselme, fils d’Aynard de Tullins, son neveu, autre Anselme, frère Mineur, son frère...”[2313]. Anselme presumably predeceased his father as he is not named in his testament opened Aug 1281.

iv) --- de Tullins (-before 30 Jul 1274). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the testament of “Guy de Tullins chanoine de Vienne”, dated 30 Jul 1274, which names [her son] “...Aymar, fils de Guichard d’Hières, son neveu...”[2314]. m GUICHARD d’Hières, son of ---.

v) ALIX de Tullins (-before Aug 1281). The testament of “Guy de Tullins chanoine de Vienne”, dated 30 Jul 1274, names “...Alix, épouse de Rodolphe de la Balme, sa sœur...Guigonet fils d’Alix...”[2315]. m (before 30 Jul 1274) RODOLPHE de la Baume Seigneur d’Entremont, son of ---.

A charter dated Aug 1281 records the opening of the testament of “Guigues seigneur de Tullins”, in which he bequeathed property to “ses filles Béatrix épouse d’Antelme de St-Quentin et Françoise épouse de Rodolphe d’Entremont...”[2321]. m firstly (divorced 16 Dec 1270) SIBOUD de Châteauneuf, son of ---. m secondly ([1276]) RAOUL d’Entremont, son of ---.

b) GUY de la Tour (-before 1 Jul 1290). Canon and mistral at Vienne: “Antelme et Guinnet de Tullins frères” agreed the division of the succession of “leur père Aimar, de leur grand-père Guigues et de leur oncle Guy de Tullins chanoine et mistral de Vienne, frère de Guigues” by charter dated 1 Jul 1290[2322].

c) [DIDIER de la Tour (-after 10 Nov 1257). Seigneur de Rives. “Didier de la Tour, de Rives, damoiseau” sold his property “dans la paroisse de Vourey et en celle de Renage...” to “son frère Guy seigneur de Tullins” by charter dated 10 Nov 1257[2323]. The name “la Tour” suggests that Didier may have been the uterine brother of Guigues [II], born from a different marriage of their mother or Guigues’s brother-in-law.]

AYMAR [II] de Tullins, son of GUIGUES [II] Seigneur de Tullins & his wife [Galice ---] (-[Feb 1287/Jun 1290]). A charter dated Aug 1281 records the opening of the testament of “Guigues seigneur de Tullins”, in which he named “son fils Aimar” as universal heir, except for legacies to “ses filles Béatrix épouse d’Antelme de St-Quentin et Françoise épouse de Rodolphe d’Entremont, à Guionet et Antelme fils de son fils Aimar...sa petite-fille Delme fille de Rodolphe de la Balme, à sa femme Galice, à Aude femme de son fils Aimar”[2324]. Seigneur de Tullins. “Aimar seigneur de Tullins chevalier” granted freedoms to the inhabitants of Tullins, ratified by “ses fils Antelme et Guionet”, by charter dated Feb 1286 (O.S.)[2325]. “Aymar seigneur de Tullins fils de Guy” donated harvest “en Chalmenton” to the prior of Tullins by charter dated 1287[2326]. Pluchot says that the testament of Aymar [II] is dated Aug 1283 and that he died “vers 1289” as the wife of Aymar [II], without citing the source on which the information is based[2327]. The documents which confirm this information have not been found.

m AUDE, daughter of --- (-before 15 Nov 1322). She is named “sa mère Aude” (presumably deceased at the time) in the 15 Nov 1322 charter of her daughter Françoise, quoted below. Pluchot names “Aude (Audisia) dame de l’Argentière, fille de Guillaume Auruce, des maréchaux du dauphin” as the wife of Aymar [II], without citing the source on which the information is based[2328]. The source which confirms Aude’s parentage has not been identified. The name of “Aude/Audisia Auruce co-dame de l’Argentière” has not been found in the collected archives of the seigneurie de l’Argentière[2329].

Aymar [II] & his wife had six children:

1. ANSELME [Lantelme/Antelme] de Tullins (-after 13 Jul 1323). The first two documents quoted below suggest that Anselme was older than his brother Guy. The testament of “Guy de Tullins chanoine de Vienne”, dated 30 Jul 1274, names “Anselme, fils d’Aynard de Tullins, son neveu...”[2330]. Seigneur de Tullins. “Antelme et Guinnet de Tullins frères” agreed the division of the succession of “leur père Aimar, de leur grand-père Guigues et de leur oncle Guy de Tullins chanoine et mistral de Vienne, frère de Guigues”, Antelme ceding his rights to Tullins to his brother in return for “le château de Savel et la paroisse de Morette”, by charter dated 1 Jul 1290[2331]. Seigneur de Savel et de Morette. Pluchot says that Anselme/Antelme exchanged property with “Raymond Aynardi sgr de La Motte Saint-Martin” by charter dated 10 Feb 1300, without citing the source on which the information is based[2332]. “Lantelme de Tullins fils de feu Aymar seigneur de Tullins” granted property to “Hugonet Orcel damoiseau, mari de sa fille Aude, pour cause de noces” by charter dated 29 Oct 1312[2333]. “Lantelme de Tullins” ceded “tout le droit qu’il avait sur la seigneurie de Tullins, à raison de la succession de son père Aimar, son aïeul Guigues, son frère Guy et son oncle feu Guy de Tullins chanoine et mistral de Vienne, et de ses sœurs Humilie, Jordane et Aloy de Tullins” to “sa nièce Humilie fille de feu Guy seigneur de Tullins”, retaining “ses possessions en la paroisse de Morette”, by charter dated 13 Jul 1323[2334]. m ---. The name of Anselme’s wife is not known. Anselme & his wife had one child:

a) AUDE de Tullins (-[before 13 Jul 1323]). “Lantelme de Tullins fils de feu Aymar seigneur de Tullins” granted property to “Hugonet Orcel damoiseau, mari de sa fille Aude, pour cause de noces” by charter dated 29 Oct 1312[2335]. Aude’s absence from her father’s 13 Jul 1323 charter quoted above suggests that she was deceased at the time. m ([29 Oct 1312]) HUGUES Orcel, son of ---.

2. GUY de Tullins (-[9 Feb/14 Nov] 1322). “Guigues seigneur de Tullins” granted “[le] château, seigneurie et juridiction de Tullins” to “Guy son petit-fils, enfant de son fils Aimar” on his marriage to “Béatrix fille de Guy de Montluel seigneur de Châtillon”, reserving to himself “l’usufruit, ainsi qu’à son fils Aimar”, by charter dated 1 Apr 1283[2336]. Seigneur de Tullins. “Antelme et Guinnet de Tullins frères” agreed the division of the succession of “leur père Aimar, de leur grand-père Guigues et de leur oncle Guy de Tullins chanoine et mistral de Vienne, frère de Guigues”, Antelme ceding his rights to Tullins to his brother in return for “le château de Savel et la paroisse de Morette”, by charter dated 1 Jul 1290[2337].

- see below.

3. HUMILIE de Tullins (-[before 13 Jul 1323]). “Humilie sœur de Guionnet seigneur de Tullins et femme de Guillaume de Moirans [...seigneur de Châteauneuf-de-Galaure]” promised not to transfer her dowry except to her brother or her husband by charter dated 11 May 1294, the transfer being effected by charter dated 11 Mar 1294 (O.S.)[2338]. “Lantelme de Tullins” ceded “tout le droit qu’il avait sur la seigneurie de Tullins, à raison de la succession de...ses sœurs Humilie, Jordane et Aloy de Tullins” to “sa nièce Humilie fille de feu Guy seigneur de Tullins” by charter dated 13 Jul 1323[2339]. The wording of this extract suggests that Humilie, Jourdane and Aloy were deceased at the time. m (before 11 May 1294) GUILLAUME de Moirans Seigneur de Châteauneuf-de-Galaure, son of ---.

4. FRANÇOISE de Tullins (-after 15 Nov 1322). “Françoise de Tullins, fille d’Aimar et femme d’Aynard de Paladru damoiseau” confirmed receipt of payments from “Humilie de Tullins fille de feu Guy et épouse de Guichard de Clérieu” for the transfer of her rights “sur la succession de son père Aimar, de sa mère Aude et de son frère Guy” by charter dated 15 Nov 1322[2340].

5. JOURDANE de Tullins (-[before 13 Jul 1323]). “Lantelme de Tullins” ceded “tout le droit qu’il avait sur la seigneurie de Tullins, à raison de la succession de...ses sœurs Humilie, Jordane et Aloy de Tullins” to “sa nièce Humilie fille de feu Guy seigneur de Tullins” by charter dated 13 Jul 1323[2341]. The wording of this extract suggests that Humilie, Jourdane and Aloy were deceased at the time.

6. ALOY de Tullins (-[before 13 Jul 1323]). “Lantelme de Tullins” ceded “tout le droit qu’il avait sur la seigneurie de Tullins, à raison de la succession de...ses sœurs Humilie, Jordane et Aloy de Tullins” to “sa nièce Humilie fille de feu Guy seigneur de Tullins” by charter dated 13 Jul 1323[2342]. The wording of this extract suggests that Humilie, Jourdane and Aloy were deceased at the time.

GUY de Tullins, son of AYMAR [II] Seigneur de Tullins & his wife Aude --- (-[9 Feb/14 Nov] 1322). “Guigues seigneur de Tullins” granted “[le] château, seigneurie et juridiction de Tullins” to “Guy son petit-fils, enfant de son fils Aimar” on his marriage to “Béatrix fille de Guy de Montluel seigneur de Châtillon”, reserving to himself “l’usufruit, ainsi qu’à son fils Aimar”, by charter dated 1 Apr 1283[2343]. Seigneur de Tullins. “Antelme et Guinnet de Tullins frères” agreed the division of the succession of “leur père Aimar, de leur grand-père Guigues et de leur oncle Guy de Tullins chanoine et mistral de Vienne, frère de Guigues”, Antelme ceding his rights to Tullins to his brother in return for “le château de Savel et la paroisse de Morette”, by charter dated 1 Jul 1290[2344]. Pope Nicholas IV wrote to Guillaume Archbishop of Vienne, dated 22 Sep 1291, concerning the fire at Vienne Saint-Antoine caused by “Grato monachus monasterii Montismajoris...Aynardi domini de Castro novo fratris sui” who were attacked in revenge by “...Guido de Tollino...”[2345]. Seigneur de Beaucroissant: Pluchot records that Guy exchanged “le château de Rives contre leurs droits sur le château de Beaucroissant” with “Béatrix veuve de Guigues sgr de Rives et ses enfants” by charter dated 4 Jun 1314, without citing the source on which the information is based[2346]. The testament of “Guy seigneur de Tullins et Beaucroissant”, dated 25 Mar 1316, bequeathed “la mistralie de Beaucroissant” to “Lantelme de Tullins son fils bâtard” and named “son fils Aymard” as universal heir, substituting “sa fille Humilie épouse de Guichard de Clérieu seigneur de Roche-de-Glun”[2347]. He is named as living in his third wife’s 8 Feb 1322 charter quoted below, but deceased in the 15 Nov 1322 charter of his sister Françoise quoted above.

m firstly ([1 Apr 1283]) BEATRIX de Montluel, daughter of GUY de Montluel Seigneur de Châtillon en Chautagne & his wife Marguerite Alamandi ([1269/70]-[after 1310?]). “Guigues seigneur de Tullins” granted “[le] château, seigneurie et juridiction de Tullins” to “Guy son petit-fils, enfant de son fils Aimar” on his marriage to “Béatrix fille de Guy de Montluel seigneur de Châtillon”, reserving to himself “l’usufruit, ainsi qu’à son fils Aimar”, by charter dated 1 Apr 1283[2348]. Her date of death is estimated from the 1325 marriage contract of her youngest daughter Galice, which means that the latter was probably not born later than [1310].

m secondly ([1318/20?]) as her second husband, BEATRIX de Sassenage, widow of AYMAR Bérenger Seigneur de Pont-en-Royans, daughter of FRANÇOIS Seigneur de Sassenage & his wife Agnes de Joinville-Gex (-after 1330). Her second marriage is confirmed by the following documents: “Beatrix de Sassenage veuve d’Aymar Berengarii seigneur de Pont-en-Royans et du château de Rencurel, jadis dame de Tullins et de Rencurel” disputed the right of the prior of Ecouges to cut wood “dans le bois del Turron”, “Guy de Tullins mari de Beatrix” reaching a compromise which would be approved by “Beatrix et son fils Henri seigneur du château de Pont-en-Royans”, by charter dated 4 Jan 1322[2349]. The marriage can presumably be dated to after her husband’s son Aymar died, Guy hoping to have more male children by this second marriage. “Beatrix de Sassenage épouse du seigneur de Tullins et dame de Rencurel, son père François seigneur de Sassenage tuteur d’Henri Berengarii fils de feu Aymar Berengarii et de Beatrix, seigneur de Pont-en-Royans et du château de Rencurel” confirmed the agreement dated 4 Jan [1322], by charter dated 8 Feb 1322[2350]. The testament of François de Sassenage, dated 15 Apr 1328, bequeathed property to “his daughter Béatrix widow of Seigneur Aymar de Béranger, Seigneur du Pont en Royans...” and named “François Béranger son of Dame Béatrix...and Aymard de Béranger Seigneur du Pont...his brother Henry de Béranger...” as successive substitute heirs[2351]. [She married thirdly (1330) Bertrand Bérenger Seigneur de Feuillans et de Tréminis. Chorier records her third marriage (which he calls Beatrix’s second marriage) in 1330, without citing the source which confirms the information[2352]. This information appears incompatible with Bertrand’s known wife Marguerite de Hautvillard being his widow in 1363. One possible explanation is that Bertrand married three times, his first wife being the mother of his three daughters, his second wife Béatrix de Sassenage, and his third Marguerite.]

Guy & his first wife had six children:

1. GUIGONNE [Humilie] de Tullins ([1284/85]-[18 Aug 1342/1 Jul 1346]). The marriage contract between “Guichard fils de Roger seigneur de Clérieu” and “Guigonne fille de Guy sr. de Tullins” is dated 16 Dec 1297[2353]. The testament of “Guy seigneur de Tullins et Beaucroissant”, dated 25 Mar 1316, named “son fils Aymard” as universal heir, substituting “sa fille Humilie épouse de Guichard de Clérieu seigneur de Roche-de-Glun”[2354]. Dame de Tullins. “Françoise de Tullins, fille d’Aimar et femme d’Aynard de Paladru damoiseau” confirmed receipt of payments from “Humilie de Tullins fille de feu Guy et épouse de Guichard de Clérieu” for the transfer of her rights “sur la succession de son père Aimar, de sa mère Aude et de son frère Guy” by charter dated 15 Nov 1322[2355]. “Humilie dame de la Roche-de-Glun et de Tullins, fille de feu Guy seigneur de Tullins, et épouse de Guichard de Clérieu seigneur de la Roche-de-Glun” declared that her father had before dying granted her “les châteaux de Beaucroissant et de Rives”, acquired from “Guigues de Rives et de sa femme Béatrix”, and protested the intention of “Jean de Rives fils de feu Guigues” to transfer “la seigneurie de Rives” to “Girard de Roussillon seigneur d’Anjou”, by charter dated 13 Dec 1322[2356]. “Girard de Roussillon seigneur d’Anjou et Jourdane de Tullins son épouse” and “Guichard de Clérieu seigneur de la Roche-de-Glun et de Tullins et Humilie de Tullins sa femme” reached agreement about “[le] château de Beaucroissant, que les deux beaux-frères prétendaient leur avoir été donné par Guy de Tullins père de Jourdane et d’Humilie”, Guichard and his wife “prennent en charge Béatrix fille de Girard et de Jourdane, promettant de la marier et dôter suivant son rang” substituting one of her sisters if Béatrix died, by charter dated 24 Feb 1323 (O.S.)[2357]. “Girard de Roussillon seigneur d’Anjou” confirmed receipt of money “pour la dot de sa femme Jourdane” from “Guichard seigneur de Clérieu et Tullins et à son épouse Humilie” by charter dated 18 Apr 1330[2358]. The testament of “Humilie dame de Tullins”, dated 18 Aug 1342, named “son neveu Jaquemet de Roussillon fils de sa sœur Françoise de Tullins et d’Aynard de Roussillon seigneurs de Serrières” as her universal heir, provided he adopted the Tullins name and arms, substituting successively “ses frères Guigues et Girard”[2359]. The process of opening her testament at the request of “Aynard de Roussillon seigneur de Serrières” was recorded by charter dated 1 Jul 1346[2360]. m (contract 16 Dec 1297) GUICHARD de Clérieu, son of ROGER [III] Seigneur de Clérieux & his wife Marguerite de Poitiers (-after 24 Jun 1333).

2. AYMAR de Tullins (-after 25 Mar 1316). No indication has been found of the identity of Aymar’s mother. The testament of “Guy seigneur de Tullins et Beaucroissant”, dated 25 Mar 1316, named “son fils Aymard” as universal heir, substituting “sa fille Humilie épouse de Guichard de Clérieu seigneur de Roche-de-Glun”[2361]. Aymar presumably died soon after this date, and certainly predeceased his father, as no further mention of him has been found. His father presumably remarried after Aymar died, in the hope of having male children by his second marriage.

3. JOURDANE de Tullins (-after 19 Jun 1347, bur Vienne Franciscan church). It is difficult to estimate the birth date of Jourdane: the 13 Feb 1319 (O.S.) charter quoted below suggests that she was an adolescent at the time, but the chronology of her son Aymar suggests that he was born several years before that date. A charter dated 13 Feb 1319 (O.S.) records the emancipation of “Jourdane de Tullins femme de Girard de Roussillon seigneur d’Anjou”[2362]. “Girard de Roussillon seigneur d’Anjou et Jourdane de Tullins son épouse” and “Guichard de Clérieu seigneur de la Roche-de-Glun et de Tullins et Humilie de Tullins sa femme” reached agreement about “[le] château de Beaucroissant, que les deux beaux-frères prétendaient leur avoir été donné par Guy de Tullins père de Jourdane et d’Humilie”, Guichard and his wife “prennent en charge Béatrix fille de Girard et de Jourdane, promettant de la marier et dôter suivant son rang” substituting one of her sisters if Béatrix died, by charter dated 24 Feb 1323 (O.S.)[2363]. “Girard de Roussillon et Jourdane son épouse” granted “leurs droits sur les châteaux et seigneuries de Tullins, Beaucoissant et Vourey, constitué en dot à Jourdane par son père Guy de Tullins”, to “leur fils Aimar” by charter dated 13 Jan 1333[2364]. Dauphin Humbert and “Humilie dame de Tullins” reached agreement regarding the Tullins succession, including the shares of “Jordane de Tullins épouse de Gérard de Roussillon seigneur d’Anjou et de Marguerite de Tullins épouse de feu Guigues de Morges seigneur de Tullins”, by charter dated 18 Aug 1342[2365]. The testament of “Jordane de Tullins dame d’Anjou”, dated 19 Jun 1347, chose burial “à Vienne en l’église des frères Mineurs, près de son mari Girard de Roussillon”, bequeathed property to “sa belle-fille Marguerite femme de son fils Aimar...sa nièce Béatrix fille de sa sœur Françoise, à sa fille Béatrix” and named “son fils Aimar” as her universal heir, substituting successively “sa fille Béatrix de Roussillon, puis sa sœur Françoise de Tullins femme d’Aynard de Serrières”[2366]. m GERAUD de Roussillon Seigneur d’Anjo, son of GUIGUES de Roussillon Seigneur d’Anjo et de Serrières & his first wife Iseut d’Olliergues Dame de Maymont (-[18 Aug 1342/19 Jun 1347], bur Vienne Franciscan church).

4. MARGUERITE de Tullins ([1300 or before]-after 9 Jul 1338). “Guigues seigneur de Tullins” made payments to “sa fille Marguerite mariée à Guigues de Morges” for renouncing her parental succession by charter dated 7 Dec 1314[2367]. “Marguerite fille de Guy de Tullins et femme de Guigues de Morges damoiseau” in consideration for receiving her dowry renounced her succession to her father, reserving her rights of succession to “Béatrix sa mère”, by charter dated 25 Oct 1315[2368]. “Guy seigneur de Tullins” granted “[le] château et terre de Vercoiran” to “Marguerite sa fille, épouse de Guigues de Morges seigneur de Jansac, et à Guillaume de Morges leur fils” by charter dated 10 Feb 1318 (O.S.)[2369]. Dauphin Guigues exchanged property with “Marguerite de Tullins épouse de Guigues de Morges seigneur du Châtelard et fille de Guy seigneur de Tullins” by charter dated 14 Aug 1330[2370]. “Marguerite de Tullins” appointed “son époux Guigues de Morges chevalier seigneur de Châtelard” as proxy relating to “sa part des biens de feu...Guy de Tullins seigneur de ce lieu et dame Marguerite [error for Béatrix, see 25 Oct 1315 charter above] son épouse aux lieux de Tullins et Beaucroissant et de tout héritage” by charter dated 9 Jul 1338[2371]. Dauphin Humbert and “Humilie dame de Tullins” reached agreement regarding the Tullins succession, including the shares of “Jordane de Tullins épouse de Gérard de Roussillon seigneur d’Anjou et de Marguerite de Tullins épouse de feu Guigues de Morges seigneur de Tullins”, by charter dated 18 Aug 1342[2372]. m (before 7 Dec 1314) GUIGUES de Morges Seigneur du Châtelard, de Vercoiran et de Jansac son of --- (-[29 Sep 1341/18 Aug 1342]).

5.

6. GALICE de Tullins ([1310 or before?]-). The marriage contract between “Jacquemet de Boczosel fils d’Humbert de Boczosel seigneur de Gières” and “Racilise [Galice?] fille de Guy seigneur de Tullins” is dated 3 Apr 1325[2374]. m (contract 3 Apr 1325) JACQUES de Boczosel, son of HUMBERT de Boczosel Seigneur de Gières & his wife ---.

Guy & his second wife had one child:

7. FRANÇOISE de Tullins ([1320?]-[5 Feb 1351/12 Nov 1357]). Her marriage date suggests that Françoise was born from her father’s third marriage. The marriage contract between “Aymar de Roussillon seigneur de Serrières” and “Françoise fille de feu Guy seigneur de Tullins”, providing for payments after the death of “Guichard seigneur de Clérieu et de Tullins et d’Humilie sa femme fille de Guy de Tullins et sœur de ladite Françoise” and by “Girard de Roussillon aeigneur d’Anjou frère dudit Aymar et mari de Jourdaine autre fille de Guy de Tullins et sœur desdites Françoise et Humilie” while protecting the rights of “sa nièce Béatrix fille desdits Girard et Jourdane”, is dated 14 Jan 1334[2375].

The testament of “Guy seigneur de Tullins et Beaucroissant”, dated 25 Mar 1316, bequeathed “la mistralie de Beaucroissant” to “Lantelme de Tullins son fils bâtard”[2377]. “Lantelme de Tullins donatus de feu Guy seigneur de Tullins” acknowledged holding “[le] château et mandement de Beaucroissant” from Dauphin Humbert by charter dated 24 Jun 1347[2378]. The testament of “Lantelme de Tullins bâtard de Guy seigneur de ce lieu”, dated 13 Sep 1348, bequeathed property to “Falconnet de Tullins son fils naturel...sa femme Catherine Tribors, d’Albinac” and named “son frère Hugues (de) Tullins” as his universal heir[2379]. m CATHERINE Tribors, daughter of --- (-after 13 Sep 1348).
