2. STURBIE (-after 778). Comte de Bourges. The Vita Hludowici Imperatoris records, around the time of the birth of Louis (778), that “Biturigæ civitati primo Humbertum, paulo post Sturbium præfecit comitem...”[2].

3. WICFRED . Comte de Bourges. The Miraculis Sancti Genulfi names "Agana filia…Byturicensium comes…Wifredus regali prosapia oriundus [et]…Oda coniux"[3].

2. [daughter . Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by Abbo who names "Rotgaire, comte et neveu de Hugues" as one of the supporters of "Hugues…prince et gouverneur de Bourges", on the assumption that this passage means that the sister of Hugues was the mother of Rotger, dated to 889 from the context[6]. m --- [du Maine], son of ---.]

Chapter 2. GÂTINAIS

A. COMTES de GÂTINAIS

The counts of Gâtinais inherited the county of Anjou in 1067, an unforeseen result of a dynastic marriage in [1035]. However, Gâtinais was was ceded to Philippe I King of France in 1068 by Foulques IV "le Réchin" Comte d’Anjou to obtain the king’s recognition of his accession as count after he deposed and imprisoned his brother Geoffroy III "le Barbu" Comte d’Anjou et de Gâtinais[175]. Thereafter it remained part of the domaine royal of the Capetian kings of France.

1. GEOFFROY [I] de Château-Landon, son of --- (-after Nov 991). Seigneur de Château-Landon. Comte de Gâtinais. "Gausfridi comitis Wastinensis" subscribed the charter dated to [985/87] under which "Teduinus" donated "alodum…Vileta…in pago Wastinensis" to the abbey of Saint-Père de Chartres for the souls of "patris sui Adelardi et matris suæ Eldegardis"[176]. m as her first husband, BEATRIX de Mâcon, daughter of AUBRY II Comte de Mâcon & his wife Ermentrude de Roucy. A manuscript genealogy, dated to the early 12th century, records "Letaldus comes Vesoncius et Umbertus comes Marisconensis fratres…ex Letaldo, Albericus…ex Alberico Beatrix, ex Beatrice Gosfrido de Castello Landonensi"[177]. André de Fleury’s Vita Gauzlini records that “Albericus comes Nandonensium” donated “Alodum in Altissiodorensi territorio” to Fleury and that “Beatrix Nandonensium comitissa” donated “prædia”[178]. She married secondly Hugues du Perche, her second marriage being confirmed by the charter of her son "Albericum illius supradicti Gosfredi filium et heredum" dated 26 May 1028 (see below) approved by "fratribus ipsius Alberici, filiis Hugonis Pertice…Gosfredo et Letoldo"[179]. Geoffroy [I] & his wife had one child:

a) AUBRY [Alberic] de Gâtinais (-before 8 Mar 1030). Francon Bishop of Paris agreed with "Albericum illius supradicti Gosfredi filium et heredum", concerning a prior grant by the bishop's predecessor to "Gosfrido comiti Landonensi castri", with the approval of "fratribus ipsius Alberici, filiis Hugonis Pertice…Gosfredo et Letoldo", by charter dated 26 May 1028[180]. He succeeded as Comte de Gâtinais, Seigneur de Château-Landon. André de Fleury’s Vita Gauzlini records that “Albericus comes Nandonensium” donated “Alodum in Altissiodorensi territorio” to Fleury and that “Beatrix Nandonensium comitissa” donated “prædia”[181].

1. [GAUTHIER (-after [997]). Abbon abbé de Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire requested Pope Gregory V to order "…Quauz---, nepos Wal--- comitis de Castro Nantonis" to cease his activities (presumably against the monastery) under threat of excommunication, by letter dated [997][182]. Edouard de Saint-Phalle suggests that "Wal--- comitis…" was a second husband of Beatrix de Mâcon, widow of Geoffroy [I] Comte de Gâtinais, before her marriage to Hugues du Perche. He records that Ferdinand Lot first suggested that "Wal--- comitis" should be identified with Gauthier [I] Comte d'Amiens, de Vexin et de Valois[183], although this seems far-fetched assuming it is correct that Comte Gauthier [I] was born before 925. Settipani suggests that it is more probable that Gauthier Comte de Gâtinais was the younger brother of Comte Geoffroy [I], who inherited the county on the death of his brother because the latter's son was a minor[184].

2. [--- . m ---.] [One child]:

a) [GEOFFROY [Quauz---] . Abbon abbé de Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire requested Pope Gregory V to order "…Quauz---, nepos Wal--- comitis de Castro Nantonis" to cease his activities (presumably against the monastery) under threat of excommunication, by letter dated [997][185]. Edouard de Saint-Phalle suggests that "Quauz---" was Geoffroy Comte de Joigny, because of the donation by the latter's son, Gilduin Archbishop of Sens, to the same abbey. Settipani suggests that he was an older son of Geoffroy [I] Comte de Gâtinais who rebelled against the authority of his uncle after attaining the age of majority[186]. However, this does not appear chronologically possible as the marriage of the parents of Beatrix de Mâcon, wife of Comte Geoffroy [I], is dated to (Mar 966/14 Jan 971] (see BURGUNDY DUCHY), which would mean that her sons by this marriage would be unlikely to have attained the age of majority before the early years of the 11th century at the earliest.] same person as…? GEOFFROY de Joigny (-[6 Mar], after Nov 1035).

- COMTES de JOIGNY.

HUGUES du Perche, son of FULCOIS Comte de Mortagne & his wife Melisende Vicomtesse de Châteaudun . His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated to [1065] under which "Rotrochus comes de Mauritania et mea uxor Adeliz et filii nostri Rotrochus et ceteri nostri infantes" donated property to Saint-Vincent du Mans, for the anniversary of "avi mei Fulcuich comitis et avunculi mei Hugonis et patris mei vicecomitis Gaufridi"[187].

same person as…? HUGUES du Perche (-after [1000]). No proof of this co-identity has been found, but it would be chronologically plausible.

m ([1000]) as her second husband, BEATRIX de Mâcon, widow of GEOFFROY Comte de Gâtinais, daughter of AUBRY II Comte de Mâcon & his wife Ermentrude de Roucy. A manuscript genealogy, dated to the early 12th century, records "Letaldus comes Vesoncius et Umbertus comes Marisconensis fratres…ex Letaldo, Albericus…ex Alberico Beatrix, ex Beatrice Gosfrido de Castello Landonensi"[188]. Her second marriage is confirmed by the charter of her son "Albericum illius supradicti Gosfredi filium et heredum" dated 26 May 1028 (see below) approved by "fratribus ipsius Alberici, filiis Hugonis Pertice…Gosfredo et Letoldo"[189].

Hugues & his wife had two children:

1. GEOFFROY [II] "Ferréol" de Gâtinais (-30 Apr [1043/47]). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 26 May 1028 under which Francon Bishop of Paris agreed with "Albericum illius supradicti Gosfredi filium et heredum" concerning a prior grant by the bishop's predecessor to "Gosfrido comiti Landonensi castri", with the approval of "fratribus ipsius Alberici, filiis Hugonis Pertice…Gosfredo et Letoldo"[190]. A manuscript genealogy, dated to the early 12th century, records yet another parentage, stating that "Letaldus comes Vesoncius et Umbertus comes Marisconensis fratres…ex Letaldo, Albericus…ex Alberico Beatrix, ex Beatrice Gosfrido de Castello Landonensi, ex Gaufrido Gaufridus et Fulco presens"[191]. His name is confirmed by a charter (undated?) under which [his son] Geoffroy III Comte d’Anjou donated fishing rights on the Mayenne river to Angers Saint-Serge, for the souls of “Geoffroy son père et de Geoffroy Martel son oncle”[192]. Comte de Gâtinais, Seigneur de Château-Landon. The fact that Aubry Comte de Gâtinais and Geoffroy [II] Comte de Gâtinais were two different individuals, the inevitable conclusion from the two sources cited, is somewhat clouded by the Historia Comitum Andegavorum which records that "Gaufridus Martellus…nepotibus suis" were "filiis Adhelæ sororis suæ et Alberici comitis de Gastinais"[193], and by the Chronicle of Saint-Maxence which names "Alberici Contracti comitis de Gastina" as father of "Goffredus et Fulco Rechin"[194].

2. LIETAUD (-[1050] or after). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 26 May 1028 under which Francon Bishop of Paris agreed with "Albericum illius supradicti Gosfredi filium et heredum", concerning a prior grant by the bishop's predecessor to "Gosfrido comiti Landonensi castri", with the approval of "fratribus ipsius Alberici, filiis Hugonis Pertice…Gosfredo et Letoldo"[195].

B. SEIGNEURS de BEAUMONT-en-GÂTINAIS

Beaumont-du-Gâtinais, previously called Beaumont-sous-Bois, is situated about 20 kilometres south-west of Nemours, and 15 kilometres west of Château-Landon, in the present-day French département of Seine-et-Marne.

Two brothers:

1. ADAM [I] de Beaumont (-[24 Jun 1241/Jul 1248]). Seigneur de Beaumont-en-Gâtinais. “Adam dominus Bellimontis" renounced rights over “viariam Ausiaci” in favour of Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire, with the consent of “Joanne fratre meo”, by charter dated Apr 1207 (O.S.?), confirmed by separate charter also dated Apr 1207 by his suzerain “Galterus dominus Nemosii”[196]. "A. domnus Bellimontis" confirmed the foundation of a chapel by "dominus R. Malus Vicinus", with the consent of "Isabelle uxoris mee", by charter dated 1211[197]. "Adam de Bellomonte" donated land “que fuit defuncti Acis de Montibus…in feodo meo” to Vaux de Cernay, with the consent of “uxore mea Helisabeth”, by charter dated 1214[198]. The Histoire des ducs de Normandie records “mareschaus de l’ost Adans de Biaumont, qu on apieloit en sornon Brostesinge” in the army sent by Louis (the future Louis VIII King of France) to invade England in Dec 1215[199]. A charter dated 3 Nov 1226 lists the nobles at the coronation of King Louis IX, including “...Adam de Bellomonte, Johannes de Bellomonte...”[200]. Contributions towards military expenditure in the county of Poitou, dated 24 Jun 1241, record donations made by “Adam juvenis de Bello Monte” followed by “Adam de Bello Monte pater”[201]. m (contract Aug 1211) ISABELLE Mauvoisin, daughter of ROBERT [III] Mauvoisin Seigneur d’Aulnay & his wife Cécile de Chevreuse (-after 1238). Pierre de Nemours Bishop of Paris confirmed the marriage contract between "Robertus Malus Vicinus...Isabel filiam suam" and “consanguineo nostro Ade de Bellomonte”, with the consent of “Sicilie uxoris sue”, is dated Aug 1211[202]. "A. domnus Bellimontis" confirmed the foundation of a chapel by "dominus R. Malus Vicinus", with the consent of "Isabelle uxoris mee", by charter dated 1211[203]. "Adam de Bellomonte" donated land “que fuit defuncti Acis de Montibus…in feodo meo” to Vaux de Cernay, with the consent of “uxore mea Helisabeth”, by charter dated 1214[204]. "Sedilie dame d’Aulnay" notified her donation to Notre-Dame de Livry, with the consent of "Adam de Beaumont et d’Isabelle son épouse sa fille", by charter dated 1238[205]. Adam & his wife had four children:

a) ADAM [II] de Beaumont (-after 24 Jun 1241). Contributions towards military expenditure in the county of Poitou, dated 24 Jun 1241, record donations made by “Adam juvenis de Bello Monte” followed by “Adam de Bello Monte pater”[206]. It is assumed that Adam was his father’s oldest son, named after his father. It is not known whether he survived his father: no primary source has been found in which Adam [II] is named seigneur de Beaumont. m ---. The name of Adam’s wife is not known. Adam [II] & his wife had children:

i) PIERRE de Beaumont (-before 11 Jul 1272). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified. However, his succession as seigneur de Beaumont indicates his seniority in the family. It is therefore expected that he was the son of Adam [II], oldest son of Adam [I]. The chronology does not favour his being the son of Adam [I], as shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[207]. Seigneur de Beaumont-en-Gâtinais. The bishop of Paris accepted the homage of "dominus Petrus de Bello Monte miles", as “heres proximior domini Guillelmi de Bello-Montis militis”, for “terram…sitam Parisius…Taroene”, by charter dated 17 Mar 1264[208]. Conte di Montescaglioso e Alba [1265]. "Dominus Petrus de Bello Monte comes Cambellani in Apulia" swore homage to the bishop of Paris for “la terre de Taroenne” by charter dated 7 Feb 1272[209]. The date of his death is established by the marriage contract of his two daughters dated 11 Jul 1272 in which he is named as deceased. m firstly JEANNE, daughter of --- (-before Jan 1266). "Nobilis mulier domina Isabellis d’Auton relicta defuncti Radulfi d’Auton militis, quondam vidua" requested "villam de Blavo Monte", which “dominus Petrus de Bello Monte miles et Johanna eius uxor consanguinea dicte domine Isabellis” had sold to the Templars, from Notre-Dame de Paris, claiming that it belonged to her “de hereditate dicte Johanne uxoris dicti militis”, by charter dated Jan 1265(O.S.?)[210]. This charter demonstrates that Jeanne died childless, contrary to what is shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[211]. m secondly FILIPPA di Ceccano, daughter of ---. "Philippa relicta defuncti Petri de Bello Monte comitis Cambellani" swore homage “pro se et quadam filia” to the bishop of Paris for “terra Morinensi” by charter dated 9 Aug 1273[212]. Pierre & his second wife had [three] children:

(a) MARGUERITE de Beaumont (-Marseille Mar 1307). A charter dated 11 Jul 1272 records the proposed marriages of “Iohannem de Monte forti comitem Squillacensem et Symon fratrem eius” and “nobili quondam Petrum de Bellomonte...duabus filiabus eiusdem Petri...maiore natu [...Iohanni]...et minore natu dicto Symoni”[213]. "Johannes dictus de Monte Forti comes" swore homage “ratione uxoris sue filie defuncti quondam Petri de Bello Monte comitis Cambellani” to the bishop of Paris for property “in terra Morinensi” by charter dated 14 Nov 1273[214]. Her parentage and first marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 1290 under which “Johannes de Monteforti, Squillacii et Montiscanosi comes, ac regni Sicilie camerarius et Margarita uxor mea” confirmed a bequest by “quondam dominus Petrus, dominus Bellimontis…socer noster et pater prefate Margarete” to the abbey of Saint-Antoine[215]. Minieri Riccio records the second marriage, citing documents in the Angevin registers at Naples[216]. Assuming that he is correct, Robert [II] presumably married his second wife to reinforce his claim to restoration to Squillace, believing that the previous count’s widow retained some residual right to the county. m firstly (Betrothed 11 Jul 1272, before 14 Nov 1273) as his third wife, JEAN [II] de Montfort Conte di Squillace e Montescaglioso, son of PHILIPPE de Montfort-l'Amaury Seigneur de Castres et de la Ferté-Alais & his wife Jeanne de Levis (-Foggia [1/3] Dec 1300, bur Foggia, transferred 29 Jun 1305 to Castres). m secondly ([1303/06]) as his second wife, ROBERT [II] de Dreux Seigneur de Bû [Capet], son of ROBERT de Dreux Seigneur de Bû & his second wife Isabelle de Villebéon ([1263/65]-after 1303).

(b) [--- de Beaumont . A charter dated 11 Jul 1272 records the proposed marriages of “Iohannem de Monte forti comitem Squillacensem et Symon fratrem eius” and “nobili quondam Petrum de Bellomonte...duabus filiabus eiusdem Petri...maiore natu [...Iohanni]...et minore natu dicto Symoni”[217]. It seems likely that this daughter was the same person as Philippa who is shown below. Betrothed (11 Jul 1272) to SIMON de Montfort, son of PHILIPPE de Montfort-l'Amaury Seigneur de Castres et de la Ferté-Alais & his wife Jeanne de Levis (-Apulia 24 Jan 1275, bur Castres).]

(c) PHILIPPA de Beaumont ([1271/72]-after 1317). She is shown in Europäische Stammtafeln as her father’s daughter by his first marriage[218]. From a chronological point, this seems unlikely to be correct. Marguerite (see above) was their father’s oldest unmarried daughter in 1272 as shown above. The parents of Philippa’s first husband were married in 1270, placing his birth a year or two later. It seems unlikely that Philippa would have been much older than her husband, which would place her birth in [1271/72]. In addition, the charter dated Jan 1265, in which Pierre’s first wife’s heir is named, shows that she died childless. Philippa would presumably have been named after her mother. As noted above, it is likely that she was the same person as her father’s younger daughter who was betrothed 11 Jul 1272 to Simon de Montfort. The primary sources which confirm her two marriages have not been identified. m firstly GEOFFROY [II] de Joinville Signore d’Alife, son of GEOFFROY de Joinville Seigneur de Briquenay & his wife Mabile de Lezinnes (-Brindisi 1297). m secondly RENAUD [II] Comte de Dammartin, son of JEAN [II] de Trie Comte de Dammartin & his second wife Yolande de Dreux (-1316).

ii) DREUX de Beaumont (-[14 Nov 1276/30 Mar 1277]). Dreux, as brother of Pierre, subscribed the charter dated Jan 1267 which records the renunciation of rights over “la terre de Blaumont” in favour of the Templars[219]. Marshal of Charles I King of Sicily. m firstly EUDOXIA [Marie] de Cayeux, daughter of ANSEAU [V] de Cayeux & his [third wife Evdokia Laskarina] (-before 1275). Her parentage and marriage are shown by Champagne in a genealogical table but he cites no corresponding primary source[220]. If her parentage is correctly identified, her name suggests that she must have been born from her father’s marriage to Evdokia Laskarina. It has not yet proved possible to estimate her birth year with any confidence as no precise information has been found about the chronology of her children. She is named Marie in various secondary sources on the internet, but the primary source basis for this statement has not been identified. Dame de Sainte-Geneviève. m secondly (16 Sep 1275) AGNES de Stromoncourt, daughter of GUILLAUME de Stromoncourt Lord of Salona & his wife --- (-after 1279). The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified.

b) GUILLAUME de Beaumont (-before 17 Mar 1264). "Guillelmus et Johannes de Bellomonte milites" confirmed the donation of revenue “apud Mintriacum” to Saint-Antoine de Paris, made by “bone memorie Adam pater noster”, by charter dated Jul 1248[221].

c) JEAN de Beaumont (-after Jul 1248). "Guillelmus et Johannes de Bellomonte milites" confirmed the donation of revenue “apud Mintriacum” to Saint-Antoine de Paris, made by “bone memorie Adam pater noster”, by charter dated Jul 1248[222].

d) AGNES de Beaumont (-after Sep 1253). "Thomas dominus Brueriarum" donated two fields to Vaux de Cernay, with the consent of “Agnetis uxor mee”, by charter dated 1234[223]. "Adam dominus Belli Montis" acknowledged that “Agnes filia nostra” had confirmed the sale of “decima…de feodo domini Thome de Brueriis”, which belonged to “dictum Symonem ex maritagio uxoris sue” and was sold by “dominus Symon de --- et dominus Johannes filius eius”, by charter dated 1237[224]. “Thomas miles dominus Brueriarum et Leugarum” confirmed the donation of rights “de vinea sita in territorio de Felarvilla” made by “bone memorie...pater meus Goslenus” to Notre-Dame de Josaphat, with the consent of “uxor mea Agnes et Johannes primogenitus meus”, by charter dated 3 Jul 1248[225]. "Agnes de Brueriis domina, nobilis viri Thome quondam dicti loci domini relicta" donated a serf to Vaux de Cernay by charter dated Sep 1253[226]. A charter dated May 1279 records that "Guillermus dominus de Doleinvilla armiger" exchanged property with Vaux de Cernay for property donated by “felicis recordationis domini Thome quondam domini de Brueriis Castro et Agnetis eius uxoris”, with the consent of “Johannes dominus de Brueriis miles filius defunctorum domini Thome et Agnetis”[227]. m (before 1234) THOMAS Seigneur de Lèves et de Bruyères-le-Châtel, son of GAUCELIN [VII] Seigneur de Lèves & his first wife Jeanne --- (-10 Oct [1248/Sep 1253]).

2. JEAN de Beaumont (-[1255/56]). “Adam dominus Bellimontis" renounced rights over “viariam Ausiaci” in favour of Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire, with the consent of “Joanne fratre meo”, by charter dated Apr 1207 (O.S.?), confirmed by separate charter also dated Apr 1207 by his suzerain “Galterus dominus Nemosii”[228]. "Johannes de Beaumont miles" donated harvest “in grangia mea…inter Parisius et Montem-Martirum” to Saint-Antoine de Paris, with the consent of “Aelidis uxoris mee”, by charter dated 1 Apr 1214[229]. Seigneur de Villemomble. "Johannes de Bellomonte" approved the donation of vines “inter Rooni et Villemunde” made to the Templars by his vassal “Radulfus Arundel” by charter dated Oct 1215[230]. A charter dated 3 Nov 1226 lists the nobles at the coronation of King Louis IX, including “...Adam de Bellomonte, Johannes de Bellomonte...”[231]. Chambrier de France 1240 and 1248[232]. m firstly ALIX, daughter of ---. "Johannes de Beaumont miles" donated harvest “in grangia mea…inter Parisius et Montem-Martirum” to Saint-Antoine de Paris, with the consent of “Aelidis uxoris mee”, by charter dated 1 Apr 1214[233]. m secondly as her second husband, ISABELLE de Garlande, widow of GUY [V] Le Bouteiller de Senlis, daughter of GUILLAUME [V] de Garlande & his wife Adela de Châtillon (-[1249/55]). Her parentage and first marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 1217 under which “Johannes comes Bellimontis” agreed the succession of “domino Guillelmo de Gallandia” with “Henricus comes Grandiprati…et Guidonem buticularium”, which states that he had married the deceased’s oldest daughter and the other two his second and third daughters respectively[234]. "Guido miles filius Guidonis quondam Buticularii Silvanectensis" donated property to Acy priory, with the consent of “Elizabeth uxoris mee et Guillelmi et Radulphi fratrum meorum”, by charter dated Feb 1222 (O.S.)[235]. A charter dated May 1248 records the donations to Crusy made 1218 by “Guillelmo de Garlanda et Aalide eius uxore”, confirmed at the request of “Ysabellis dictæ Buticulariæ, uxoris Johannis de Bello-Monte camerarii Franciæ...præfatorum Guillelmi et Aalidis filiæ”[236]. Jean & his first wife had two children:

a) GUILLAUME de Beaumont (-after 1267). "Guillelmus de Bellomonte miles filius domini Johannis de Bellomonte militis" acknowledged receipt of money from “domino meo Archambo domino Borbonii”, in the presence of “patris mei domini Johannis de Bellomonte”, by charter dated Jan 1246 (O.S.?)[237]. Seigneur de Villemomble et de Pacy. Conte di Caserta. m ---. Guillaume & his wife had one child:

i) ISABELLE de Beaumont (-1277). Dame de Villemomble, de Pacy-sur-Marne et de Brévières, Ctss di Caserta. m (Paris 1260) as his first wife, GUY [VIII] Seigneur de Laval et de Vitré, son of GUY [VII] de Montmorency Seigneur de Laval & his first wife Philippa de Vitré ([1240]-L'Isle-Jourdain 22 Aug 1295, bur Abbaye de Clermont).

b) ALIX de Beaumont (-4 Oct 1275, bur Notre-Dame du Parc). The primary source which confirms her parentage has not been identified. “Ioannes Haricuria dominus et Aelis eius uxor” founded “prioratum Beatæ Mariæ de Parco ordinis Augustiniani Ebroicensis diocesis” by charter dated 1257[238]. The manuscript history of the Harcourt family by “Monsieur le Prevost chanoine de Rouen” (dated?) records the death 5 Nov 1288 of “Ioannes dominus Harcuriæ octogenarius vel nonegenarius” and his burial “in monasterio Parci”, founded with his wife, and the death 4 Oct 1275 of “Æliam uxor sua” and her burial there[239]. m (before 1240) JEAN [I] Seigneur d’Harcourt, son of RICHARD Seigneur d’Harcourt & his wife Mathilde de Taisson (-5 Nov 1288, bur Notre-Dame du Parc).

Jean & his second wife had children:

Seigneur de Pontarmé et de Neufmarché. “Thibaud de Beaumont” mortgaged property “sis à Vémars” to Sainte-Geneviève by charter dated Apr 1270[241]. He died before [Jan/Mar] 1271 (O.S.), the date of his son-in-law’s charter cited below. m JEANNE de Senlis Dame de Luzarches-la-Motte, daughter of RAOUL le Bouteiller de Senlis Seigneur de Luzarches-la-Motte et de Coye (part) & his first wife Jeanne de Nemours-Méréville. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified. Dupuis records that Thibaut de Beaumont acquired “Thiers...vers 1250...par suite de son mariage avec Jeanne fille de Raoul le Bouteiller seigneur de Luzarches et de Coye en partie”, suggesting that Thibaut probably built the castle at Thiers[242]. Thibaut & his wife had three children:

i) JEANNE de Beaumont (-after 28 Oct 1322). Her marriage date is set by a charter of her husband dated [Jan/Mar] 1271 (O.S.) in which he is named co-seigneur de Luzarches [de iure uxoris], quoted in his entry in the document NORMANDY NOBILITY-AVRANCHES, BAYEUX, COTENTIN.

"Lucia uxor Rainardi Pulcri et Amalricus filius eius et Agnes uxor eius" donated a serf to the priory of Néronville, for the soul of "Rainardi Pulcri", by charter dated to [1100/10][294]. The charter dated to [1140/50], quoted above, suggests that the former charter is correct and that Agnes was the sister not the wife of Amaury.

d) BELINE . Her parentage and marriage are stated by Richemond who does not cite the primary sources on which this information is based[295]. m HUGUES de Montliard, son of ---.

1. AUBRY Clément (-before 1150). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified but it looks likely that he was the son of Robert [II] "Clément", see above. According to Richemond, he was the same person as the son of Robert [I] named above[296]. However, the chronology seems stretched for this to be correct. m as her first husband, SANSELINE, daughter of RENAUD de Gasson & his wife --- (-after [1150]). "Domina Sanselina filia Rainaldi de Gaazon et filius eius Rainardus filius Alberici Clementis" donated property to the priory of Néronville, for the soul of "filie sue" who was buried there, confirmed by "Fridericus de Ligervilla qui tunc erat vir illius domine", by charter dated to [1150][297].

a) RAINARD . "Domina Sanselina filia Rainaldi de Gaazon et filius eius Rainardus filius Alberici Clementis" donated property to the priory of Néronville, for the soul of "filie sue" who was buried there, confirmed by "Fridericus de Ligervilla qui tunc erat vir illius domine", by charter dated to [1150][298].

b) daughter (-before 1150, bur Néronville priory). "Domina Sanselina filia Rainaldi de Gaazon et filius eius Rainardus filius Alberici Clementis" donated property to the priory of Néronville, for the soul of "filie sue" who was buried there, confirmed by "Fridericus de Ligervilla qui tunc erat vir illius domine", by charter dated to [1150][299].

D. VICOMTES de CHÂTEAU-LANDON

LETAUD, son of HUGUES du Perche & his wife Beatrix de Mâcon (-after [1050]). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 26 May 1028 under which Francon Bishop of Paris agreed with "Albericum illius supradicti Gosfredi filium et heredum", concerning a prior grant by the bishop's predecessor to "Gosfrido comiti Landonensi castri", with the approval of "fratribus ipsius Alberici, filiis Hugonis Pertice…Gosfredo et Letoldo"[301]. "…Letaldi militis…" witnessed a charter dated [1050] under which Bishop Isembard restored the customs of Beaulay to the abbey of Saint-Euverte d’Orléans[302], although it is possible that this signature relates to Létaud [II] see below.

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

Letaud & his wife had [one] child:

1. [LETAUD [II] (-after 1080). "…Letaldi filiorumque suorum Fulconis et Godefridi…" witnessed charters dated [1076] and 1080 of the abbey of Saint-Pierre at Pithiviers[303]. The chronology dictates that Letaud [II] was a different person from Létaud [I], presumably his son, but no primary source has been identified which confirms that this is correct.] m ---. The name of Létaud's wife is not known. Létaud [II] & his wife had two children:

a) FOULQUES (-after 1122). "…Letaldi filiorumque suorum Fulconis et Godefridi…" witnessed charters dated [1076] and 1080 of the abbey of Saint-Pierre at Pithiviers[304]. Vicomte de Château-Landon. [1076]/[1126]. "Fulco vicecomes et filius eius Guillelmus, scilicet Guido Urso" confirmed a donation to the priory of Néronville by "Robertus Bonet" by charter dated to [1108/20], subscribed by "Rainaldus Pulcher…"[305]. The Continuatio of Aimon’s Historia records that Louis VI King of France bought "Moretum…et Castellarium, Boissas, Euram et Cambim" {Moret, Le Châtelet, Boësses, Yèvre, Chambon} from "Fulcone Vicecomite Wastinensi"[306]. The passage is undated, but Estournet dates the sale to "vers 1115"[307]. "…Fulco vicecomes Castrilandonis et filii eius Willelmus et Guido…" approved a donation to the abbey of Rozoy by charter dated to after 1122[308]. A charter dated to [1120] records the repentance of "Fulco vicecomes" for the harm he caused to the priory of Néronville[309]. m (before 1098) BIOTE de Montlhéry, daughter of [GUY [II] "le Rouge" de Montlhéry Comte de Rochefort & his first wife Elisabeth ---]. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed only by a document written in 1630 which names "Fédéric vicomte de Gastinois, fils de Guy…fils d’un autre Guy…vicomte de Gastinois nay de Biote de Rochefort, sœur de Guy II comte de Rochefort et de Hugues de Crécy"[310]. Foulques & his wife had three children:

i) GUILLAUME (-after [1108/20]). "Fulco vicecomes et filius eius Guillelmus, scilicet Guido Urso" confirmed a donation to the priory of Néronville by "Robertus Bonet" by charter dated to [1108/20], subscribed by "Rainaldus Pulcher…"[311]. same person as…? GUILLAUME de Fessard (-after [1130/40]). "…Guillelmus de Ferssarth" witnessed the charter dated to [1130/40] under which "Theobaldus de Nergi" donated property "in Villanova" to the priory of Néronville[312]. Estournet suggests that the witness to this document was the same person as Guillaume, son of Foulques Vicomte de Château-Landon, and ancestor of the future vicomtes de Fessard[313]. He bases this on a declaration under which "vicecomes de Fessardo" was recognised as vassal of the French king in respect of rights held "apud Castrum Nantonis in vicecomitaria et in aliis" {Château-Landon}[314]. This is an interesting suggestion, but it is also possible that such rights were inherited from the family of the vicomtes de Château-Landon through the female line.

ii) GUY [I] (-after 1154). "Fulco vicecomes et filius eius Guillelmus, scilicet Guido Urso" confirmed a donation to the priory of Néronville by "Robertus Bonet" by charter dated to [1108/20], subscribed by "Rainaldus Pulcher…"[315].

"Vicecomes de Fessart…" witnessed a donation to the priory of Néronville by charter dated to [1150/58], confirmed by "vicecomite Guidone Castri Nantonis"[317]. m ---. The name of Guy’s wife is not known. Guy & his wife had [one] child:

(a) [GUY [II] (-after Apr 1180). His parentage is confirmed only by a document written in 1630 which names "Fédéric vicomte de Gastinois, fils de Guy…fils d’un autre Guy…vicomte de Gastinois nay de Biote de Rochefort, sœur de Guy II comte de Rochefort et de Hugues de Crécy"[318]. Vicomte de Château-Landon. He witnessed a charter of Louis VII King of France dated Apr 1180 confirming a donation by Pierre de France Seigneur de Courtenay to the abbey of Fontaine-Jean[319]. m ---. The name of Guy’s wife is not known. Guy [II] & his wife had [one] child:

iii) URSON . "Fulco vicecomes et filius eius Guillelmus, scilicet Guido Urso" confirmed a donation to the priory of Néronville by "Robertus Bonet" by charter dated to [1108/20], subscribed by "Rainaldus Pulcher…"[321]. same person as…? URSON (-[Palestine 1147]). This co-identity is suggested by Richemond, based on the proximity of Nemours to Château-Landon, but he emphasises that there is no primary source which confirms that it is correct[322]. Seigneur de Nemours.

b) GEOFFROY (-after 1080). "…Letaldi filiorumque suorum Fulconis et Godefridi…" witnessed charters dated [1076] and 1080 of the abbey of Saint-Pierre at Pithiviers[323].

1. PHILIPPE (-after 1129). "Philippus…vicecomes de Gastineis…uxor mea Elisabeth" confirmed a donation to the hermits of Franchard en Bière by charter dated 1129[324]. Vicomte de Gâtinais. Devaux speculates that Philippe may have been either an older son of Vicomte Foulques or the second husband of Foulques’s widow (as "Elisabeth" could be the full form of the name "Biote")[325]. Richemond suggests that Philippe was the son of Guillaume [I] Vicomte de Fessard (see below)[326]. m ELISABETH, daughter of --- (-after 1129). "Philippus…vicecomes de Gastineis…uxor mea Elisabeth" confirmed a donation to the hermits of Franchard en Bière by charter dated 1129[327].

"…Guillelmus de Ferssarth" witnessed the charter dated to [1130/40] under which "Theobaldus de Nergi" donated property "in Villanova" to the priory of Néronville[329]. Estournet suggests that the witness to this document was the same person as Guillaume, son of Foulques Vicomte de Château-Landon, and ancestor of the future vicomtes de Fessard[330]. He bases this on a declaration under which "vicecomes de Fessardo" was recognised as vassal of the French king in respect of rights held "apud Castrum Nantonis in vicecomitaria et in aliis" {Château-Landon}[331]. This is an interesting suggestion, but it is also possible that such rights were inherited from the family of the vicomtes de Château-Landon through the female line.

A charter dated 1134 records donations to Montmartre by Louis VI King of France, including "villas in pago Gastinensi…Buxiacum et Mainbervillers et Merlanval" given to him by "Theoderico de Milliaco"[375]. The wording of this document suggests that the properties had been confiscated by the king following some sort of transgression on the part of Thierry as an outright gift appears unlikely. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Victor records "IX Kal Nov…Theoderici de Miliaco et uxoris eius" and their donation of "ecclesiam de Floriaco"[376]. m ---. The name of Thierry’s wife is not known. She is referred to in the necrology entry quoted above.

The properties in the former donation are the same as recorded in the charter dated 1134 as having been "given" by Thierry de Milly to King Louis VI. As noted above, the wording of the document suggests that the properties in question had been confiscated from Thierry. If that is correct, it is likely that Jean’s interests in the same places did not derive from Thierry and that therefore Jean must have been the son of one of Thierry’s brothers who are named above. m ---. The name of Jean’s wife is not known. A charter dated 1153 records donations to Montmartre, confirmed by Louis VII King of France, including the donation by "Joanne de Milliaco" of his interest in "villis…Mimbervillier et Buxi et Merlanval" and the property of "uxor sua Bosleria…et filiabus suis Petronilla, Elisabeth et Richelda"[384].

F. SEIGNEURS de NEMOURS

Nemours is situated in Gâtinais, midway between Fontainebleau and Château-Landon, on the left bank of the river Loing. According to Richemont, Nemours was founded in [1120/30] and started to flourish after a hospice was built to serve the needs of pilgrims who sought allegedly miraculous cures effected by relics which had been transported back from Palestine and housed in the village[440]. The history of Nemours was studied in detail by Richemond in the early 20th century[441]. The seigneurie de Nemours lay south of the seigneurie de Milly and north of the vicomté de Château-Landon[442]. The seigneurs de Nemours were appointed to important positions at the court of Louis VII King of France and members of the family received the highest ecclesiastical honours in the 12th and 13th centuries. However, towards the end of the 13th century they were ruined by participation in the crusades, forced to sell their castles and renounce their positions, and fell into obscurity[443]. Nemours was sold to Philippe III King of France in 1276 by Philippe [III] de Nemours[444]. Nemours was elevated into a duché-pairie by Charles VI King of France in 1404. It was first granted to the king of Navarre in exchange for territories in Champagne and Vexin, and was eventually inherited by a younger branch of the family of the Dukes of Savoy. Nemours returned to the French crown in 1666.

URSON, son of [FOULQUES Vicomte de Château-Landon & his wife Biote de Montlhéry] (-[Palestine 1147]). His possible parentage is suggested by Richemond, based on the proximity of Nemours to Château-Landon, but he emphasises that there is no primary source which confirms that it is correct[445]. Richemond assumes that Urson was the first Seigneur de Nemours but states that there is no record of him either in contemporary chronicles or cartularies, although he adds that he and his son Hervé left on the Second Crusade in 1147 and both died during the expedition (without citing the corresponding primary source)[446].

m AVELINE de Monfaucon, daughter of --- de Monfaucon & his wife --- [de Châtillon-sur-Loing] ([1110/20]-). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines which records that "principe Antiochie Renaldo" had a sister who was the mother of "Renaldum de Monte Falconis in Bituria et duas sorores illius", of whom one "Avelina de Traci" married "viro nobili Ursoni"[447]. Dame de Tracy, which Richemond identifies as Treuzy near Nemours[448].

Urson & his wife had two children:

1. HERVE (-[Palestine 1147]). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Herveium et Avelinam Nemosii domnam" as children of "viro nobili Ursoni" and his wife "Avelina de Traci"[449].

2. AVELINE ([1130/40]-1196). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Herveium et Avelinam Nemosii domnam" as children of "viro nobili Ursoni" and his wife "Avelina de Traci", adding that Aveline married "Galtero…camerario regis"[450]. Her birth date range is extrapolated from the marriage date of her second son. Dame de Nemours. m GAUTHIER de Villebéon, son of [--- Seigneur de La Chapelle-Gauthier & his wife Ameline ---] (-[23/25] Oct 1205, bur Barbeaux abbey). Seigneur de Nemours. Great chamberlain of France.

GAUTHIER de Villebéon, son of [--- Seigneur de La Chapelle-Gauthier & his wife Ameline ---] (-[23/25] Oct 1205, bur Barbeaux abbey). Richemond suggests that Gauthier de Villebéon was the same person as Gauthier, brother of Geoffroy Seigneur de La Chapelle-Gauthier, adding that this hypothesis provides the explanation for Gauthier’s brother Etienne being referred to as "La Chapelle" in primary sources[451]. This co-identity is also affirmed in the compilation of the cartulary of Néronville, without stating that it is based on any primary source[452]. According to Richemond, Gauthier probably inherited his fief of Villebéon, located near Nemours, from his mother, adding that it had been owned by the seigneurs de Chevry and enfeoffed by them to the sires du Bignon in the 12th century[453]. "Miles…Gaufridus de La Capeleta et Amelina mater eius" donated property to the priory of Néronville, with the consent of "Avelinæ uxoris prædicti Gaufredi et filiorum suprum Roberti et Petri" and "Rainardus de Gaazon et Gauterius frater Gaufredi et Robertus Clemens", by charter dated 1153[454].

a) GAUTHIER [III] de Villebéon dit Le Chambellan ([1206]-27 Sep [1239/40]). Seigneur de Tournenfuye. Richemond speculates that Gauthier [III] succeeded his father as Chambellan de France, but states that he had found no document which confirms that this is correct[597]. "Galterus de Villabeon miles dictus Cambellanus" donated “totum nemus meum apud Montulle” to Jard, with the consent of “Aaliz uxoris mee”, by charter dated Feb 1237[598].

(2) [ELEONORE] de Villebéon . Richemond highlights the absence of texts which confirm the name of this daughter, adding that “nous lui prêtons le prénom d’Eléonore parce que ce fut celui de sa mère et de sa fille”[611]. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the lawsuit dated 1281 concerning the marriage contract between “domini G. Cambellani militis...filiam” and “Aubertum de Hangesto militem”[612]. Dame de Heuqueville, de Fontaine-Guérart et de Villers-le-Chambellan. m ([1275]) AUBERT [V] de Hangest Seigneur de Genlis, son of AUBERT [IV] de Hangest Seigneur de Genlis & his wife Marie de Roye (-after 1281).

c) PIERRE de Villebéon (-21 Feb 1271, bur Saint-Denis).

"Petrus dictus Cambellanus miles" donated “partem Bosce eiusdem Ade de Montule et partem Guillemi fratris mei” to Jard, with the consent of "Ade fratris mei germani", by charter dated Jun 1248[616]. Chambellan de France 1255. The necrology of the Abbaye du Jard records the death "IX Kal Feb" of "domini Petri cambellani"[617]. m --- (-after 1277).

d) ADAM [II] de Villebéon (-14 Sep 1264, bur Jard). "Petrus de Villabeonis dictus Cambellanus et Gilo de Montiniaco milites" executors of the testament of “defuncti Guillelmi de Villabeon dicti Cambellani” notified a bequest to Jard, with the support of "Adam frater uterinus Guillelmi", by charter dated 1243[619]. "Adans li Chambellens chevaliers sires de Menig Aubéri" submitted a dispute with “mon segneur Ansiau de Gallande” concerning “la grant joustice de Chatres et de la Houssaie” to arbitration by charter dated 21 Apr 1261[620]. The necrology of the Abbaye du Jard records the death "XVIII Kal Oct" of "domini Ade cambellani primogeniti domini de Villabeonis"[621]. Richemond quotes his epitaph which records the death 1264 “le dimanche empres. la. Sat Anbraiche” of “Monseigneur Adam le Chambellan laine qui fu fiz Monseigneur Adam chambellan de France seignour de Villebeon”[622]. m (before 1240) ALIX, daughter of --- (-5 Mar ----). Richemond suggests that she was Alix de Garlande, daughter of Anseau de Garlande & his wife Alix ---, which would explain the dispute Alix’s husband and Anseau de Garlande (see above) over property which would have formed part of her dowry[623]. The necrology of the Abbaye du Jard records the death "III Non Mar" of "domine Aalidis, quondam uxoris domini Ade cambellani, primogeniti de Villabeonis" and her donation[624]. Adam [II] & his wife had one child:

i) ISABELLE de Villebéon (1240-before 1282). Her parentage is indicated by the two following documents. The first document establishes that Robert [II]’s second wife was called “Isabelle” but not her family origin: “Ingelrannus Couciaci, Montis-mirabilis et Oysiaci dominus“ noted an agreement with Cluny regarding property “in castellania de Feritate Angulsi“ donated to Grandpré Sainte-Marie, reserving rights of “Robertum de Drocis et...Ysabellam eius uxorem...ratione dotis”, with the consent of “Maria domina de Fera mater predicti Ingelranni“, by charter dated Jun 1265[625]. The second document provides an earlier reference to the property named in the first document: a charter dated 1 Mar 1262 (O.S.?) records an agreement between “Ysabeau de Villebeon Dame de la Chapelle en Brie, veuve de feu Monsieur Mathieu Seigneur de Montmirail et d‘Oisy“ and “Monsieur Enguerran Sire de Coucy” regarding her dowry from property at “la Ferté-Ancoul, Raumesnil, Chasteauthierry, Challons et autres“[626]. Kerrebrouck, presumably linking these two documents, states that Robert [II]’s second wife was Isabelle de Villebéon, widow of Mathieu Seigneur de Montmirail[627]. However, the following charter indicates that the widow of Mathieu de Montmirail was still alive in 1265, after the estimated date of Robert [II]’s second marriage: "Ysabiaus dame de la Chapelle" confirmed an agreement with Barbeau abbey made during the lifetime of “Mahys chevaliers sires de Monmirail et d’Oysi mes sires”, confirmed by “mon...frere et seigneur monseigneur Pierre le Chambellan” by charter dated Jan 1265[628]. The suggestion is that the childless Isabelle, widow of Mathieu, left la Ferté-Ancoul to her niece as dowry when she married Robert [II]. Her date of death is indicated by a charter dated Sep 1282, recorded by Père Anselme in “[le] cartulaire de l’église de S. Magloire“, under which [her son] “Robert de Dreux écuyer, fils de feu Robert jadis chevalier, seigneur de Beu et d’Isabeau jadis sa femme” declared before Simon Bishop of Chartres that he was 17 years old and that he “et sa sœur Isabeau”, as orphans after the deaths of their father and mother, were brought up with his own children by Robert [IV] Comte de Dreux et de Montfort[629]. m [firstly] ([1260/62]) as his second wife, ROBERT de Dreux Seigneur de Bû, son of ROBERT [III] "Gasteblé" Comte de Dreux & his wife Eléonore dame de Saint-Valéry ([1217]-23 Jun, after 1265). There are indications that Isabelle may have married secondly, as his second wife, Renaud [I] Seigneur de Dargies, son of Simon [I] Seigneur de Dargies & his wife Isabelle de Mello (-[19 Mar/Dec] 1269). This is based on an, as yet, uncorroborated report that Renaud [I]’s wife was named Isabelle[630], read together with the 10 Jun 1302 Papal dispensation for the marriage of “nobili viro Auberto de Hangesto milite” [Aubert [VI] de Hangest Seigneur de Genlis] and “nobili muliere Agnete domina de Dargies” [the widow of Isabelle’s supposed son by this second marriage], because “quondam Reginaldus de Dargies olim vir predicte Agnetis” was related by 4^o affinity to “ipsi Auberto”[631]. The 4^o affinity relationship between the two husbands of Agnes would result as her second husband was the grandson of Isabelle de Villebéon’s first cousin, Gauthier [IV] de Villebéon[632].

e) ISABELLE de Villebéon dite La Chambellane (-25 Mar 1265). Dame de la Chapelle-Gautier-en-Brie. A charter dated 1 Mar 1262 (O.S.?) records an agreement between “Ysabeau de Villebeon Dame de la Chapelle en Brie, veuve de feu Monsieur Mathieu Seigneur de Montmirail et d‘Oisy“ and “Monsieur Enguerran Sire de Coucy” regarding her dowry from property at “la Ferté-Ancoul, Raumesnil, Chasteauthierry, Challons et autres“[633]. "Ysabiaus dame de la Chapelle" confirmed an agreement with Barbeau abbey made during the lifetime of “Mahys chevaliers sires de Monmirail et d’Oysi mes sires”, confirmed by “mon...frere et seigneur monseigneur Pierre le Chambellan” by charter dated Jan 1265[634]. The necrology of the Abbaye du Jard records the death "VIII Kal Apr" of "domine Ysabellis domine de Montemirabili"[635]. m MATHIEU de Montmirail Châtelain de Cambrai, son of JEAN [I] de Montmirail & his wife Helvide de Dampierre (-14 Jan [or 16 Jun] 1262). Seigneur de Charly 1226. Seigneur de la Ferté-Gaucher 1240. Seigneur de Montmirail 1240. Châtelain de Cambrai 1241.

Adam [II] & his second wife had two children:

f) MATHIEU [II] de Villebéon (-[mid-]1270). m firstly PHILIPPOTTE, daughter of --- & his wife Hersende --- (-after 3 Oct 1266). The testament of "domina Philippa uxor...domini Mathei militis domini Villebeonis, infirmitate detenta", dated 3 Oct 1266, made bequests to “domino Matheo marito suo” and named “defuncte Hersandis quondam matris sue”[636]. m secondly ([1267/68]) as her second husband, HELVIDE de Bormont, widow of GUY de Nanteuil-le-Haudouin Seigneur de Morcourt, daughter of ---. Mathieu [II] & his first wife had one child:

i) MATHIEU [III] de Villebéon (-[20 Dec 1292/1300]). Fragmentary accounts for 1276 record “de rachato domini Galteri de Tournenfuye, pro terra Mathæi de Villa Beonis” in “Baillivia Senonensis”[637]. A charter dated 1277 records that, after the death of "Matheo de Villa Beonis milite", “Mahietus filius et heres ipsius” reached agreement with “Galterum [Cambellani nepotis quondam...Petri” and “relictam...Petri [Cambellani]” concerning payments due from his father[638]. m (betrothed 1274) ISABELLE de La Broce, daughter of PIERRE de La Broce Seigneur de Langeais, chambellan & his wife Isabelle de Saint-Venant.

g) ADAM [III] de Villebéon (-28 Mar 1274, bur Jard). "Petrus dictus Cambellanus miles" donated “partem Bosce eiusdem Ade de Montule et partem Guillemi fratris mei” to Jard, with the consent of "Ade fratris mei germani", by charter dated Jun 1248[639]. The necrology of the Abbaye du Jard records the death "V Kal Apr" of "domini Ade cambellani dicti junioris"[640].

2. MATHIEU [I] de Villebéon (-[Syria Nov 1219/1220]).

Chapter 3. ORLEANS

A. VICOMTES d'ORLEANS

The geographically extensive county of Orléans, at the heart of the area called Central France in the present document, was incorporated into the domaine royal of the Capetian kings with the accession of Hugues "Capet" in 987[641].

Europäischen Stammtafeln includes a more detailed proposed reconstruction of the early generations of the family of the Vicomtes d’Orléans which links them to the seigneurs de Montmorency (see the document PARIS REGION NOBILITY)[642]. The precise basis for the proposal has not yet been traced, but it is possible that it pivots around the undated charter (dated by Europäische Stammtafeln to 975[643]) of Saint-Aubin d’Angers which recites the history of land at Champigné-sur-Sarthe, recording that Geoffroy I "Grisegonelle", Comte d’Anjou from 958 to 987, brought "de pago Parisiacensi quendam Albericum consanguineum suum" to Anjou and granted him "omnem terram de Vieriis et capellam Sanctæ Mariæ Caritatis"[644]. "Albericum" has been identified as Aubry [I], possible brother of Bouchard [I] "le Barbu" de Montmorency, who it seems is identified by Europäische Stammtafeln as the same person as Bouchard [III] (shown below), who is in turn linked to Bouchard [II] de Bray-sur-Seine (also shown below). The proposed reconstruction therefore depends on the cumulative correctness of several different speculative connections, in which case its practical worth appears limited.

1. AUBRY [I] . Vicomte d'Orléans. 886. m ---. The name of Aubry's wife is not known. The Gesta Episcoporum Autissiodorensium names "Betto…natione…Burgundie…Senonice urbis indigena" and "patre Alberico eque Burgundione editus, matre…Angela Francigena" when recording his election as Bishop of Auxerre[645], but the name "Angela" is atypical of the period. Aubry & his wife had two children:

a) GEOFFROY (-after May 939). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Vicomte d'Orléans. 933/42. Comte de Gâtinais. "Gaufredi Aurelianensium Vicecomitis" subscribed a charter dated May 939 under which "Hugo dux Francorum" confirmed a donation by "Rotbertus" to "Monesterio sancti Juliani"[646]. m ---. The name of Geoffroy's wife is not known. Geoffroy & his wife had three children:

i) [AUBRY [II] (-after 10 Jun 966). The primary source which states that Aubry [II] was the son of Geoffroy has not been identified. Vicomte d'Orléans. "Domnus Tetbaldus comes Turonis" withdrew his claims to a serf in favour of the monks of Saint-Martin de Tours by charter dated 957, signed by "domni Tetbaldi comitis, Tetbaldi filii ipsius…Alberici Aurelianensium vicecomitis…"[647]. "Alberici Aurelianensis vicecomitis" subscribed the charter dated 10 Jun 966 under which Geoffroy "Grisegonelle" Comte d'Anjou established the first abbot of Saint-Aubin at Angers[648]. Edouard de Saint-Phalle suggests the Aubry Vicomte d'Orléans was the same person as Aubry [II] Comte de Mâcon, whose daughter Beatrix married as her first husband Geoffroy [I] Comte de Gâtinais who appears to have inherited the lands of the family of the Vicomtes d'Orléans[649]. However, this appears to be disproved by the charter dated to [941] under which "Leotaldus comes et uxor mea Berta" donated property to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon for the souls of "patris mei Alberici…et matris mee Tolane…Irmengardis quondam uxoris sue" which was subscribed by "Alberici filii sui"[650], which shows that the family was installed as Comtes de Mâcon well before the last mention of Aubry Vicomte d'Orléans. An undated charter of Saint-Aubin d’Angers recites the history of land at Champigné-sur-Sarthe, recording that Foulques III "Nerra" Comte d’Anjou granted "curtem Campigniaci, inter Sartem et Meduanam", previously held by "Albericus Aurelianensis" (presumably indicating Aubry [II] Vicomte d’Orléans), to Aubry Seigneur de Vihiers[651].]

ii) [GERBERGE (-before 952). This origin of the wife of Comte Foulques II appears to be based on onomastic reasons only, proposed by Chaume to explain the use of the name Geoffroy in the family of the Comtes d'Anjou[652]. m (937) as his first wife, FOULQUES II "le Bon" Comte d'Anjou, son of FOULQUES I "le Roux" Comte d'Anjou & his wife Roscille de "Loches" ([920]-11 Nov 958).]

b) BETTON (-24 Feb [918/20], bur Auxerre Saint-Germain). The Gesta Episcoporum Autissiodorensium names "Betto…natione…Burgundie…Senonice urbis indigena" and "patre Alberico eque Burgundione editus, matre…Angela Francigena" when recording his election as Bishop of Auxerre[653]. Bishop of Auxerre . The Annales Sanctæ Columbæ Senonensis record that "Betto monachus sanctæ Columbæ" was elected bishop of Auxerre "IV Id Mar" in 915[654]. The Gesta Episcoporum Autissiodorensium records the death "VI Kal Mar" of "Betto" and his burial "in cripta ecclesiæ Sancti Germani" after "annos II, menses XI, dies XIV" as bishop[655].

Two siblings:

1. GAUTHIER (-26 Feb 891). Bishop of Orléans 869. According to Gallia Christiana, Gauthier [I] Archbishop of Sens was the nephew of Gauthier Bishop of Orléans[656], but the primary source which confirms that this is correct has not yet been identified.

2. --- . m ---. [Three] children:

a) GAUTHIER [I] (-15 Nov 923, bur Sens Saint-Pierre). According to Gallia Christiana, Gauthier [I] Archbishop of Sens was the nephew of Gauthier Bishop of Orléans[657], but the primary source which confirms that this is correct has not yet been identified. Archbishop of Sens 887. The Chronicon archiepiscoporum Senonensium records that "Galterus I…majoris ecclesie Senonensis canonicus" was elected archbishop of Sens "mense martio"[658]. The Annales Sanctæ Columbæ Senonensis record that "Gualterio" was installed as archbishop "IV Non Apr" after the death "Kal Feb" in 886 of "Evrardo episcopo"[659]. The Annales Sanctæ Columbæ Senonensis record that "Gualterio archiepiscopo Senonum" anointed "Rothbertus princeps" in opposition to "Karolum" in 922[660]. The Annales Sanctæ Columbæ Senonensis record that "Gualterio archiepiscopo Senonum" anointed "Rhodulfus" in 922 and died "XVII Kal Dec" in the same year[661].

b) BOUCHARD [I] (-after [909/14]). The Gesta Episcoporum Autissiodorensium records that "Bocardo fratre Gauterii archipresulis" sold property "super Belcam fluviolum Cevernum" {Chevanes sur la Baulche, canton Auxerre-Ouest} to Geran Bishop of Auxerre (recorded as bishop from 909 to 914)[662].

c) [--- .] Maurice Chaume identifies Aubry [I] (see above) as the father of Gauthier [II] Archbishop of Sens, assuming therefore that he was the brother of Geoffroy and Betton who are shown above[663]. However, if the term “avunculus” was used in its strict sense of maternal uncle in the source cited below, Gauthier’s mother was the sister of his predecessor. m ---. One child:

i) GAUTHIER [II] (-928, bur Sens Saint-Pierre). Archbishop of Sens 924. The Chronicon archiepiscoporum Senonensium names "Galterus II, nepos prioris" and records his death in 928, and his burial "in cœnobio B. Petri juxta avunculum suum"[664].

Two brothers, parents not known, although the spurious charter quoted below names Bouchard’s father as "Alberici Ducis". Maurice Chaume identifies Bouchard [II] as the son of Bouchard [I] (see above)[665].

1. BOUCHARD [II] de Bray-sur-Seine (-after 958). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Duchesne quotes the Chronique de l’abbaye de Saint-Pierre le Vif de Sens which records that "miles Burchardus…et uxor illius Ildegardis, qui habebant…munitiunculam in pago Senonico super Setanam fluvium…Braiacus" founded "cœnobium monachorum in honore Domini Salvatoris" at Bray[666]. The Chronicon archiepiscoporum Senonensium records that "Bauchardus quidam miles et uxor eius Hyldagardis" founded the church of Saint-Sauveur near Bray-sur-Seine in 958[667]. Clario’s Chronicon Sancti Petri Vivi Senonensis records that "miles Burchardus et uxor illius Ildegardis" held "munitiunculam in pago Senonico, super Sequanam fluvium in loco…Braiacus" where they founded the church of Saint-Sauveur[668]. ["Lotharius…Francorum Rex" confirmed that "Burchardus miles, filius Alberici Ducis" founded the church of Saint-Sauveur at Bray, with the consent of "Hildegardis uxoris eius" and the advice of "Theobaldi domini de Centumliis fratris eius", bringing the bodies of Saint Pari and Saint Pavace from England "de cœnobio de Persora" with the consent of "avunculus eius Rex Ædredus", by charter dated 958[669]. The reference to King Edred being the maternal uncle of the founder is far-fetched, and Lot confirms that this charter is spurious[670].] m HILDEGARDE, daughter of --- (-after 958). Duchesne quotes the Chronique de l’abbaye de Saint-Pierre le Vif de Sens which records that "miles Burchardus…et uxor illius Ildegardis, qui habebant…munitiunculam in pago Senonico super Setanam fluvium…Braiacus" founded "cœnobium monachorum in honore Domini Salvatoris" at Bray[671]. The Chronicon archiepiscoporum Senonensium records that "Bauchardus quidam miles et uxor eius Hyldagardis" founded the church of Saint-Sauveur near Bray-sur-Seine in 958[672]. Clario’s Chronicon Sancti Petri Vivi Senonensis records that "miles Burchardus et uxor illius Ildegardis" held "munitiunculam in pago Senonico, super Sequanam fluvium in loco…Braiacus" where they founded the church of Saint-Sauveur[673]. ["Lotharius…Francorum Rex" confirmed that "Burchardus miles, filius Alberici Ducis" founded the church of Saint-Sauveur at Bray, with the consent of "Hildegardis uxoris eius" and with the advice of "Theobaldi domini de Centumliis fratris eius", by charter dated 958[674]. Lot confirms that this charter is spurious[675].]

2. THIBAUT (-after 958). "Lotharius…Francorum Rex" confirmed that "Burchardus miles, filius Alberici Ducis" founded the church of Saint-Sauveur at Bray, with the consent of "Hildegardis uxoris eius" and with the advice of "Theobaldi domini de Centumliis fratris eius", by charter dated 958[676]. Lot confirms that this charter is spurious[677], but it is not known whether the fabricated document included some genuine genealogical details. The place "Centumliis" has not been identified, however approximately.]

1. BOUCHARD [III] (-after 8 Sep 975). "Adelelmus miles…ac Burcardus…consobrinum meum" donated property, including "prædium in pago Senonico…Villaris…cum ecclesia…beatæ Mariæ", to Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire, for the souls of "genitore meo Rotberto et genitrice mea…Bertha et pro Burcardo", by charter dated 8 Sep 975, witnessed by "…Alberici…"[678].

B. SEIGNEURS de CHÂTILLON [sur-LOING], SEIGNEURS de GIEN

1. ROBERT de Châtillon . "…Roberti de Castello…" subscribed the charter dated 1077 under which Philippe I King of France donated the church of Saint-Remi at Chanteau to the church of Sts Gervais and Protais at Orléans[679]. m [--- de Donzy, daughter of HERVE de Donzy & his wife [--- de Vergy]]. Her parentage and marriage are suggested by the 1086 charter of Geoffroy [II] de Donzy, which also names his nepos Renaud son of Robert de Châtillon[680]. The word nepos is of course difficult to translate in this document. However, it is unlikely that Robert de Châtillon could have been the brother of Geoffroy [II] de Donzy as he is not mentioned in the charter dated 1055 which names Geoffroy and his three brothers. It is suggested therefore that the relationship is best explained if Robert married Geoffroy’s sister.] Robert & his wife had one child:

a) RENAUD de Châtillon (-after 1086). Geoffroy [II] de Donzy is named with his three sons in a 1086 charter, which also names his nepos Renaud son of Robert de Châtillon [681].

2. GEOFFROY (-after [1096]). Comte de Gien. "Goffredus comes de Geone" subscribed the charter dated 30 Apr [1096] under which "Gillo de Soliaco" recognised the rights of Saint-Florent over the monastery of Saint-Gondon sur Loire[682]. m ---. The name of Geoffroy’s wife is not known. Geoffroy & his wife had one child:

a) RENAUD . "Rainaldus filius Goffridi comitis de Geone" subscribed the charter dated to [1098/1101] under which "comes Stephanus, Tebbaldi filius" confirmed the rights of the monastery of Saint-Gondon sur Loire, after the death of "Gilonis de Soiliaco"[683].

3. HAMON de Gien . m ---. The name of Hamon’s wife is not known. Hamon & his wife had one child:

a) GEOFFROY de Gien (-after [1100/10]). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated to [1110/20] under which his grandson "Gaufridus filius Haimonis de Jalemano" confirmed donations to the priory of Néronville of "terram de Vivario" donated by "Gaufridus filius Haimonis" for the soul of "Doe uxoris sue", by charter dated to [1110/20][684]. "Uxor Goffridi de Giemis…Doa" donated property "apud Montem Baresium" to the priory of Néronville on becoming a nun, and "Goffridus..vir eius" donated "terram de Vivario" which he shared "cum infantibus de Gaazone", by charter dated to [1100/10] "apud Castrum Nantonis, in domo Goffridi subtus in cellario"[685]. m DOE, daughter of ---. "Uxor Goffridi de Giemis…Doa" donated property "apud Montem Baresium" to the priory of Néronville on becoming a nun, and "Goffridus..vir eius" donated "terram de Vivario" which he shared "cum infantibus de Gaazone", by charter dated to [1100/10] "apud Castrum Nantonis, in domo Goffridi subtus in cellario"[686]. Richemond suggests that this last phrase corresponds with the château de Jallemain, adjacent to Château-Landon, and concludes that Doe was dame de Jallemain, although it is not possible to pass judgment on his reasoning as his explanation is not very lucid[687]. Geoffroy & his wife had [two] children:

i) [son . Richemond suggests that the fact that Geoffroy’s son, Hamon, is described as "de Jalemano" indicates that he did not inherit his father’s seigneurie which, he argues, must have fallen to an older brother[688]. He suggests that this older brother was the "signeur dau Gien sour Loire" who Ernoul describes as the brother of Renaud de Châtillon-sur-Loing, future prince of Antioch (see below)[689]. His chronology is implausible, if it is correct as shown below that Renaud de Châtillon was born in [1120/30]. However, it is not impossible that Renaud and his brother were descendants, maybe grandsons, of this unnamed older brother.]

ii) HAMON de Gien (-before Apr 1118). Seigneur de Jallemain. "Haimo de Jalemano et uxor eius" confirmed donations to the priory of Néronville of "terram de Vivario" by "pater eiusdem Haimonis, Gaufridus de Giamo", by charter dated to [1110/20][690]. m ---. The name of Hamon’s wife is not known. Hamon & his wife had one child:

(a) GEOFFROY de Jallemain . "Gaufridus filius Haimonis de Jalemano" confirmed donations to the priory of Néronville of "terram de Sed" donated by "Robertus Bonet" and "terram de Vivario" donated by "Gaufridus filius Haimonis" for the soul of "Doe uxoris sue", by undated charter[691]. This charter can be dated to before [Jan/Apr] 1118, the date of the confirmation by Louis VI King of France of the donation in question by Robert Bonet[692].

[Three] siblings, parents not known:

1. [--- ([1095/1105]-). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records that "principe Antiochie Renaldo" had a sister who was the mother of "Renaldum de Monte Falconis in Bituria et duas sorores illius"[693]. Dame de Crépy et de Nanteuil-le-Haudoin. Her birth date range, which is very approximate, is estimated based on the probable birth date range of her daughter. As will be observed, this means that she was very much older than her supposed brother Renaud de Châtillon. This suggests that, if they were brother and sister, they were born from different marriages of their father. m --- de Monfaucon [en Berri], son of ---.]

2. son . Seigneur de Gien. The Chronicle of Ernoul names "un chevalier, frere au signeur dau Gien sour Loire…Rainaus"[694]. As noted above, Richemond suggests that this person was the oldest son of Geoffroy de Gion (see above)[695]. His chronology is implausible, if it is correct as shown below that Renaud de Châtillon was born in [1120/30]. However, it is not impossible that Renaud and his brother were descendants, maybe grandsons, of this unnamed older son of Geoffroy de Gion.

3. RENAUD de Châtillon [sur-Loing] ([1120/30]-beheaded Hattin [Jul/Aug] 1187). The parentage of Renaud is uncertain. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Raynaldus de Castellione super Wainum fluviolum" when recording his arrival at Antioch and marriage to "uxor…relictam principis Raymundi"[696]. William of Tyre names him "Rainaldus de Castellione"[697]. Neither source specifies which Châtillon is referred to. The Chronicle of Ernoul names him "un chevalier, frere au signeur dau Gien sour Loire…Rainaus"[698]. Schlumberger interprets this passage as meaning that Renaud was the brother of Geoffroy de Donzy, whose family is recorded in the mid-12th century as holding the castle of Gien[699]. He identifies "Castellione" as Châtillon-sur-Loing {Loiret}[700]. The Donzy/Gien origin appears unlikely as none of the sources dealing with the Donzy family mention Renaud (see the document BURGUNDY DUCHY, NOBILITY). However, as shown above, "Renaud son of Robert de Châtillon" was recorded in 1086 as nepos of Geoffroy [II] de Donzy. It is therefore likely that Renaud Prince of Antioch was related to this earlier Renaud. Renaud went to Palestine with the army of Louis VII King of France in the Second Crusade, and stayed in Jerusalem in the service of King Baudouin III after the crusaders returned to France in 1149. He accompanied the king to Antioch in 1151[701]. He was installed as RENAUD Prince of Antioch on his marriage in 1153, by right of his wife. He confirmed Venetian privileges in Antioch as Prince in May 1153. He recaptured Alexandretta in 1153 from Thoros II Lord of the Mountains [Armenia-Rupen], on the strength of a promise of financing from Emperor Manuel I which was never paid, but handed the district to the Knights Templars[702]. He made an alliance with Thoros and in 1156 they attacked Cyprus together, captured the island's governor Ioannes Komnenos, and laid waste to the island[703]. He captured Harenc in Feb 1158, the town being given to Renaud de Saint-Valéry who held it as a vassal of Antioch[704]. Emperor Manuel I invaded Cilicia in 1158, and Prince Renaud submitted to him rather than risk losing a battle. The emperor made his formal entry into Antioch 12 Apr 1159[705]. Prince Renaud was taken prisoner by Majd ed-Din Governor of Aleppo in Nov 1160, and sent to Aleppo where he was kept in prison for 16 years[706]. Raymond Count of Tripoli attacked Homs 1 Feb 1175, distracting Saladin from his siege of Aleppo, in return for which the ruler of Aleppo released his remaining Christian prisoners, including Renaud de Châtillon and Joscelin de Courtenay[707]. After their release, he and Joscelin de Courtenay became the focus of the more progressive elements in Palestine, centred around recent arrivals and the Knights Templars[708]. Lord of Hebron and Montréal. "Rainaldus, quondam Antioochiæ princeps, nunc vero Hebronensis et Montis Regalis dominus" donated property to the Knights Hospitallers, with the consent of "Stephaniæ uxoris eiusque filiorum", by charter dated Nov 1177[709]. A charter dated 1180 records earlier donations by "Guidonem de Miliaco…dominus Philippus Neapolitanus dominusque Guido Francigena et dominus Henricus Bubalus, predicti Guidonis filii" and the present donation by "Reginaldus quondam princeps Anthiochensis…Montisregalis et Hebron dominus" of property to the abbey of Notre-Dame de Josaphat with the consent of "uxor mea Stephania…et Hanfredi prefate dominie Stephanie filii et uxoris eius Elisabeth filie regis Jerusalem"[710]. He attacked a Muslim caravan making its way from Cairo to Palestine end 1186, which put an end to the four-year truce signed by Raymond Count of Tripoli the previous year[711]. He was personally beheaded by Saladin after being captured[712].] m firstly (before May 1153) as her second husband, CONSTANCE Pss of Antioch, widow of RAYMOND de Poitiers, daughter of BOHEMOND II Prince of Antioch & his wife Alix of Jerusalem ([1127]-[1163/67], bur St Mary, Josaphat). William of Tyre records her second marriage[713]. The Lignages d'Outremer name "Rinaldo de Castellion" as second husband of "Costanza…la Nova Princessa[714]. m secondly ([1175/Nov 1177]) as her third husband, STEPHANIE de Milly, widow firstly of HONFROY [III] de Toron and secondly of MILON de Plancy, daughter and heiress of PHILIPPE de Milly Lord of Hebron and Montréal & his wife Isabelle ---. The Lignages d'Outremer name "Helvys et Estefenie" as the two daughters of "mesire Phelippe de Naples", specifying that Stephanie was heiress of her father and was wife (firstly) of "Hamfrei le seignor dou Thoron…fiz…Hamfrei…conestable", and (secondly) of "prince Renaut, qui avoit esté prince d'Antioche de par sa feme l'autre"[715]. 1155/1183. Heiress of Oultrejourdain. Renaud & his first wife had [two] children:

a) AGNÈS de Châtillon (1154-1184, bur Székesfehérvár, transferred to Coronation Church Budapest). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Agnetam" as second of the three daughters of "Raynaldus de Castellione uxor…relictam principis Raymundi" and her husband "rex Bela de Hungaria"[716]. The Lignages d'Outremer name "Maria e Joanna" as the two daughters of "Rinaldo de Castellion" and his wife "Costanza…la Nova Princessa", stating that Marie married "el re d'Ungaria", "Maria" presumably being an error for "Agnes"[717]. She lived at the court of Emperor Manuel I[718]. She adopted the name ANNA in Hungary. m (1172) as his first wife, BÉLA III King of Hungary, son of GÉZA III King of Hungary & Ievfrosina Mstislavna of Kiev (1149-23 Apr 1196, bur Székesfehérvár, transferred to Coronation Church Budapest).

b) [JEANNE de Châtillon . The Lignages d'Outremer name "Maria e Joanna" as the two daughters of "Rinaldo de Castellion" and his wife "Costanza…la Nova Princessa", stating that Jeanne married "el re de Salonichio" and died without heirs[719]. This is the only reference so far found to this daughter but, if it is correct, "el re de Salonichio" can only refer to Bonifazio di Monferrato. This marriage could be his otherwise unrecorded second marriage which is referred to in [late 1186/early 1187] by Niketas Choniates[720]. If this date is correct, Jeanne would presumably have been considerably younger than her sister Agnes. Jeanne would also have been the maternal aunt of Bonifazio's third wife which suggests problems of affinity and the consequent difficulty of obtaining Papal dispensation for that later marriage. These reasons suggest that this information is unlikely to be correct. m ([late 1186/early 1187]) as his second wife, BONIFAZIO I Marchese di Monferrato King of Thessaloniki, son of GUGLIELMO V "il Vecchio" Marchese di Monferrato & his wife Judith of Austria [Babenberg] (1150-killed in battle 4 Sep 1207).]

Renaud & his second wife had two children:

c) RENAUD de Châtillon (after 1175-young, bur Josaphat). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.

d) ALIX de Châtillon (-1235 or after). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Aleydem [uxor] marchionis Eystensis in Italia" as third of the three daughters of "Raynaldus de Castellione uxor…relictam principis Raymundi"[721], although it is chronologically unlikely that Alix could have been the daughter of Renaud by his first wife who died [1163/67]. Pope Innocent III confirmed his protection of "nobili mulieri Aliz, filiæ quondam principis Rainaldi" by charter dated 16 Jun 1198[722]. A charter dated 22 Feb 1204 records the marriage contract for "dominus Azo Estensis marchio" and "domina Aliz filia quondam Rainaldi principis Antiocheni"[723]. The testament of "dominus Azzo Estensis marchio", dated 18 Nov 1212, bequeathes property to "filie sue domine Beatrici…Aldeurandinum et Azzolinum novellum filios", a codicil naming "uxori mee domine Ailisii…filie mee Constantie"[724]. "Domini Azoni Estensis Marchionis" donated property to the monastery of Santa Maria at Carceres, with the consent of "Domina Adelice sua matre", by charter dated 1235[725]. m (22 Feb 1204) as his second wife, AZZO VI "Azzolino" d'Este, son of AZZO V d'Este & his wife --- ([1170]-Nov 1212, bur Vangadizza monastery).

C. SEIGNEURS de SAINT-GONDON

[Five] siblings, parents not identified:

1. RAOUL (-after 14 Oct 1095). "Hugo de Sancto Gondulfo" donated "decimam de Curthualdo" to Saint-Gondon sur Loire, for "uxoris sue Leticie", with the consent of "filiis suis Rainardo, Gosfredo atque Hugone", by charter dated 14 Oct 1095, witnessed by "Radulfus de Sancto Gundulfo…"[726]. The relationship, if any, between the donor and the witness Raoul is not mentioned in the document. However, the prominent place given to Raoul in the list of subscribers suggests that they were closely related, maybe brothers. This appears confirmed by the charter dated to [1100], under which "Hugo de Turre" renounced rights in property in favour of Saint-Gondon sur Loire, in the presence of "Radulfus et Hugo milites de Sancto Gundulfo"[727]. "Radulfus de Sancto Gundulfo" donated his part "in cumbris in Cogna flumine" to Saint-Gondon sur Loire when gravely ill by charter dated to [1100][728]. "Radulfus de Sancto Gundulfo" requested to be made a monk at Saint-Gondon sur Loire when gravely ill by charter dated to after 1100 and subsequently made donations to the priory, witnessed by "Herbertus miles, Landricus filius eius…"[729].

2. HUGUES (-after 14 Oct 1095). Seigneur de Saint-Gondon. "Hugo de Sancto Gondulfo" donated "decimam de Curthualdo" to Saint-Gondon sur Loire, for "uxoris sue Leticie", with the consent of "filiis suis Rainardo, Gosfredo atque Hugone", by charter dated 14 Oct 1095, witnessed by "Radulfus de Sancto Gundulfo…"[730]. The owners of the fair at Saint-Gondon, "Hugo" with the consent of "filiis suis Rainardo atque Hugone", "Richildis uxor Balduini et filius suis Gosfridus" and "Rainardus…filius Stepfani" (who was detained by the war at château Gien) represented by "Balduini sororii sui" with the consent of "sorore sua Maria et nepote suo Stefano", donated their parts to Saint-Gondon sur Loire by charter dated to [1100][731]. m LETICIE, daughter of --- (-[before 14 Oct 1095]). "Hugo de Sancto Gondulfo" donated "decimam de Curthualdo" to Saint-Gondon sur Loire, for "uxoris sue Leticie", with the consent of "filiis suis Rainardo, Gosfredo atque Hugone", by charter dated 14 Oct 1095[732]. It is unclear from the text of this document whether Leticie was alive or deceased at the time of the donation. Hugues & his wife had three children:

a) RAINARD (-after 1142). "Hugo de Sancto Gondulfo" donated "decimam de Curthualdo" to Saint-Gondon sur Loire, for "uxoris sue Leticie", with the consent of "filiis suis Rainardo, Gosfredo atque Hugone", by charter dated 14 Oct 1095[733]. The owners of the fair at Saint-Gondon, including "Hugo" with the consent of "filiis suis Rainardo atque Hugone", donated their parts to Saint-Gondon sur Loire by charter dated to [1100][734]. "Renardus de Sancto Gundulfo" donated rights to build an oven without paying royalty to Saint-Gondon sur Loire, with the consent of "filii eius Nariotus…Henricus et Dambertus…Gaufridus et filii eius et Balduinus et filii eius", by charter dated 1142[735]. m ---.

E. SEIGNEURS de SULLY (CHAMPAGNE-BLOIS)

GUILLAUME de Blois, son of ETIENNE II Comte de Blois & his wife Adela de Normandie ([1090/93]-[1150]). Orderic Vitalis records that “Stephanus Blesensis palatinus comes” and his wife had “filios quatuor: Guillelmum et Tedbaldum, Stephanumque et Henricum”, adding that Guillaume was “gener Geronis de Solleio et hæres” and “vir bonus...et pacificus, et sobole pollens atque facultatibus” (“a good and peaceful man, powerful through his descendants and his wealth”)[771]. Orderic also provides some indication of his birth year when he records[772] that his mother Ctss Adela provided troops to Louis VI King of France at the time of the siege of Montmorency in [1108] "because Count Stephen her husband had gone on crusade and her eldest sons, William and Theobald, who were not yet of age, were unable to command troops of knights". The description is confused because Count Etienne had died several years earlier, but it nevertheless provides some indication of the comparative youth of the brothers Guillaume and Thibaut at the time. "Henricus comes cognomina Stephanus necnon et Adela uxor eius cum filiis nostris" granted immunities to Chartres Notre-Dame by charter dated [Oct 1100/1101], signed by "Stephani comitis, Adele comitisse, Guillelmi, Stephani, Odonis, Teobaldi"[773]. Comte de Chartres. Seigneur de Sully, by right of his wife. He was disinherited, retaining only Sully. According to Weir, Guillaume is described in the chronicles as an idiot but she does not cite the primary source[774]. The comment may based on a letter of Ivo Bishop of Chartres which records that, during a dispute (dated by Chibnall to [1103][775]) with the chapter of Chartres that was awaiting arbitration, he forced the burgesses of Chartres to form a confederation and take a solemn oath to kill the bishop[776]. Chibnall, in order to reconcile this incident with the description of Guillaume by Orderic Vitalis ("good and peaceful man", quoted above), speculates that he was of retarded mental development and, although irresponsible, violent only in words[777].

m AGNES de Sully, daughter of GILLES [I] de Sully & his wife Edelburge de Bourges . Her parentage and marriage are indicated by Orderic Vitalis who records that “Stephanus Blesensis palatinus comes...[filius] Guillemum” was “gener Geronis de Solleio et hæres”[778]. "Post mortem Gilonis de Soiliaco, comes Stephanus Tebbaldi filius" confirmed the rights of Saint-Florent over the monastery of Saint-Gondon sur Loire by charter dated [1098/1101] which names "Willelmus filius comitis Stephani et Agnes filia Gilonis"[779].

Henri I Comte de Champagne (“Henricus Trecensis comes palatinus”) declared that “Theobaldus comes Blesensis pater meus” had granted annual revenue to “Archambaudo de Soilliaco nepoti” by charter dated 1158[781]. m MATHILDE de Baugency, daughter of RAOUL [I] Seigneur de Baugency & his second wife Mathilde de Vermandois. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. [1104/08]. Eudes & his wife had [six] children:

a) GILLES [III] de Sully (-[1195]). His parentage is confirmed by a charter dated 1194 which records an agreement between “dominum Gilonem de Soliaco…[et] Odonem filium predicti Gilonis” and the monks of La Charité-sur-Loire, which also names “dominus Archambaldus avus suus”[782]. He succeeded his father [after 1162] as Seigneur de Sully.

- see below.

b) HENRI de Sully (-11 Sep 1199, bur Abbaye de Loroy). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the election of "Henricus frater Odo cantor Bituricensis in episcopum Parisiensem, post magistrum Mauritium eligitur" as Archbishop of Bourges in 1196, specifying that they were both brothers of "Egidii de Solleiro"[783]. Archbishop of Bourges 1183. The Pars Altera Chronici Lemovicensis of Geoffroy de Vigeois records the election of "Henricus, frater Gilonis de Soliaco et Radulphi quondam Cluniacensis et de Fescanno monasterio abbatis" as archbishop of Bourges in 1183[784], although as shown below other sources indicate that Raoul was Henri's uncle. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records in 1196 that "vir nobilis...Henricus" succeeded “archiepiscopum Petrum, Garini successorem” as archbishop[785]. The Obituaire de Notre-Dame de Paris records the death "III Id Sep 1199" of "Henricus de Soliaco frater Odonis Parisiensis, archiepiscopus Bituricensis"[786].

c) EUDES de Sully ([1168]-13 Jul 1208). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the election of "Henricus...frater Odo cantor Bituricensis in episcopum Parisiensem, post magistrum Mauritium eligitur" in 1196, specifying that they were both brothers of "Egidii de Solleiro"[787].

d) [--- de Sully (-before [1172]). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to the unnamed sister of "Henricus frater Odo …[et] Egidii de Solleiro" as wife of "Radulfo filio Ebonis de oppido de Dolii" by whom she had "matrem Guilelmi de Cavingni qui per eam factus est domnus de castro Radulfi"[788]. The second part of this statement is disproved by the charter dated Apr 1216, quoted in the document POITOU, which confirms that Raoul [VII]’s known wife Agnes de Charenton was the mother of his daughter Denise. It is not known whether this means that the first part of Alberic’s statement is incorrect as well. If it is correct, this person would have been Raoul’s first wife. No charter has yet been identified which names her as Raoul’s wife. m [as his first wife,] RAOUL [VII] Seigneur de Déols et de Châteauroux, son of EBBO [II] Seigneur de Deols & his wife Denise d'Amboise (-Ravenna 27 Nov 1176, bur Ravenna).]

f) [MATHILDE de Sully . La Thaumassière names “Mahaut de Seuly” as the third daughter of “Eudes Archambaud Sire de Seuly” and his wife but cites no source on which the information is based[790]. Père Anselme repeats the same information, citing only La Thaumassière[791].]

2. RAOUL de Sully (-21 Sep 1176, bur Notre Dame de La Charité-sur-Loire). He is named "Raher" son of Guillaume by Orderic Vitalis[792]. Abbot of Cluny.

Henry II King of England confirmed the property of the abbey of Fécamp to "Henrico abate Fiscan cognate meo" by three charters dated to [1155/58][797].

4. MARGUERITE de Sully (-14 Dec 1145). "Henricus comes Augensis filius comitis Willermi" made donations to the abbey of St Michel, Tréport with the consent of "Margarita comitissa et fratres supradicti comitis Robertus, Willelmus major, Willelmus minor" by a charter dated 1101[798].

GILLES [III] de Sully, son of EUDES [Archambaud] Seigneur de Sully & his wife Mathilde de Baugency (-[1195]). He succeeded his father [after 1162] as Seigneur de Sully. "Gilo dominus Soliaci, habens guerram cum Johanne fratre suo" blocked access to the castle for the monks of Saint-Gondon sur Loire by charter dated 1172, "Radulpho priore Caritatis fratre suo" arranging another access[801]. A charter dated 1194 records an agreement between “dominum Gilonem de Soliaco…[et] Odonem filium predicti Gilonis” and the monks of La Charité-sur-Loire, which also names “dominus Archambaldus avus suus”, witnessed by “Archimbaudus de Soliaco”[802].

m LUCE de Charenton, daughter of EBLES [III] Seigneur de Charenton & his wife --- (-after 1195). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to the wife of "Egidii de Solleiro" as "sorore Ebonis de Charenton" but does not name her[803].

Gilles [III] & his wife had five children:

1. ARCHAMBAUD [IV] de Sully (-10 Feb after 1234). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "archiepiscopum…Symonem et Erchenbaldum patrem Henrici de Solleio" as sons of "Egidii de Solleiro" & his wife[804]. Seigneur de Sully. “Archembaudus de Soliaco” enfranchised “castellum meum de Capella” by charter dated 1212[805]. “Arcambaudus de Soliaco” and the monks of Saint-Sulpice-lez-Bourges reached agreement about the customs of la Chapelle Damgillon by charter dated Jun 1229[806].

The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified. m secondly MARGUERITE, daughter of ---. The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified. m thirdly ---. The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified. As noted below, the charter dated 30 Nov 1269, quoted below, raises the possibility that the mother of Archambaud [IV]’s son Jean was related to the Mello family. Archambaud & his [first/second/third] wife had four children:

a) HENRI [I] de Sully (-after 1248). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Erchenbaldum patrem Henrici de Solleio"[808]. He succeeded his father [after 1234] as Seigneur de Sully. Seigneur de Dreux, by right of his second wife.

- see below.

b) JEAN de Sully (-30 Mar 1273). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Archbishop of Bourges 1260.

The precise relationship between Jean de Sully and the Mello family has not been ascertained, but it could have been through Jean’s mother whose parentage is not known. The necrology of Chartres cathedral records the death "III Kal Apr" of "J[ohannis] de Soliaco, de nobili prosapia Johannis quondam regis Jherosolimitani et dominorum de Borbonio ortus, quondam archiepiscopi Bituricensis"[810]. While it is chronologically unlikely that Jean de Brienne King of Jerusalem was the direct ancestor of Archbishop Jean, it is possible that the latter's mother was Jean de Brienne's relative. The connection with the Bourbon family is through Jean's paternal grandmother who was the granddaughter of Archambaud [VII] Seigneur de Bourbon. The necrology of Chartres cathedral records the death "III Kal Apr" of "J[ohannis] de Soliaco de nobili prosapia Johannis quondam regis Jherosolimitani et dominorum de Borbonio ortus, quondam archiepiscopi Bituricensis”[811].

c) GUILLAUME de Sully (-after Nov 1225). “Simon...Bituricensis archiepiscopus” confirmed an agreement between “nepotes nostros Henricum Soliacum dominum et Guillelmum fratrem suum” relating to “terram de Argento et de Climon, ratione portionis hereditariæ paternæ”, naming “frater noster pater eius Archembaudus de Solaico”, by charter dated Nov 1225[812].

Seigneur de Beaujeu [en Berry]. m ELEONORE de Monfaucon Dame d'Erry, daughter of EUDES de Monfaucon Seigneur d'Erry & his wife Sarah d’Ervy (-1250, bur Font-Morigny). The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified.

The relationship, if any, between the following person and the main Sully family has not been established. A relationship is suggested by the following: “Henri de Soliaco” [presumably Henri [II] Seigneur de Sully] witnessed a charter dated 1267 between Charles I King of Sicily [Anjou-Capet] and Baudouin II ex-Emperor of Constantinople[851]. Maybe Hugues was Henri [II]’s illegitimate son who accompanied him to the kingdom of Sicily in [1266/67].

1. HUGUES de Sully “Rousseau/le Roux” (-after 1282). The Livre de la conqueste de la Morée records that Charles I King of Sicily [Anjou-Capet] ordered “le Rous de Sulli” to Morea after the death in 1278 of Guillaume de Villehardouin Prince of Achai[852]. Charles I King of Sicily sent supplies to “Hugo dictus Ruffus de Soliaco capitaneus meus in partibus Romanie...miles” by charter dated 21 Dec 1280[853]. Buchon cites other documents dated [1280/81] which name Hugues de Sully in Greece[854]. Pachymeres describes the same incident involving “Rhos Solymas, vir altissimæ staturæ...”[855]. Buchon records that Hugues de Sully was captured at Belgrade, bought his release, and obtained “les villes de Rapella et Aprano dans le royaume de Naples” on his return to southern Italy (undated)[856]. m as her first husband, PHILIPPA de Milly, daughter of GEOFFROY de Milly & his second wife Filippa di Manoppello (-Gaeta 15 Jun 1309). Minieri Riccio names “Filippa” as daughter of Geoffroy de Milly by his second wife, adding that she inherited all the fiefs of her mother and her maternal grandparents, noting that she married firstly “il milite Ugo de Sully detto Rosso, col quale procreò Giovanni Gualtieri”, secondly “il milite Guido de Vademont” (from whom she was recorded as widow 29 Apr 1302), and thirdly “Filippo di Fiandra conte di Chieti e di Loreto”, after whose death she returned to Naples[857]. Her family origin and two marriages are confirmed by the following document: a charter dated Jan 1299 names “Philippa de Miliaco, veuve d’Hugues dit Rufus de Suliaco et à présent femme de Gui de Vaudémont chevalier”[858]. Charles II King of Sicily [Anjou-Capet] declared that, should Guy de Vaudémont die during the campaign against Sicily (in revolt), “sa femme Philippe” should retain her dower (agreed by a second charter of the same date) even though childless, by charter dated 2 Jul 1299[859]. She married secondly Guy de Vaudémont. She married thirdly ([1304]) as his second wife, Philippe de Flandre Conte di Teano. Philippa de Milly died 15 Jun 1309 at Gaeta[860]. Hugues & his wife had one child:

a) JEAN GAUTHIER de Sully (-after 18 Feb 1309). A charter names “Johannetus Gualterius pupillus filius et heres quondam Hugonis dicti Ruffi de Soliaco militis”[861]. As explained above, there is some doubt about the identity of Jean Gauthier’s mother. Philippa de Milly petitioned Charles II King of Sicily for funds on behalf of “gli altri due suoi figliuoli Ludovico e Filippo e la figliuola Margarita qui de...progenie comitum Flandrie processerunt”, noting that “l’unico suo figluolo Giovanni Gualtieri de Sully detto Rosso avuto dal primo marito” had “amplas facultates” from the succession of his father, dated 18 Feb 1309[862].

Chapter 4. SANCERRE

A. COMTES de SANCERRE

The castle of Sancerre was acquired by the family of the comtes de Blois in the early 11th century from Roger Bishop of Beauvais, to whom they transferred the county of Beauvais: the Continuatio of Sigebert's Chronica written in Beauvais records that “in Gallia Beluacensi urbe...Rogerius...episcopus” had acquired “comitatum...eiusdem urbis” from “Odone Campaniensi comite” in exchange for “castro Syncerrio in Bituricensi territorio sito”[885]. The county was granted to Etienne, younger son of Thibaut IV Comte de Blois. The primary sources which confirm the parentage and marriages of the members of this family have not yet been identified, unless otherwise stated below. The comtes de Sancerre were vassals of the comtes de Champagne, as shown by the charter dated 1209 quoted below.

ETIENNE de Blois, son of THIBAUT IV Comte de Blois & his wife Mathilde of Carinthia [Sponheim] (-Acre 1191). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Henricum comitem Trecensem palatinum…Theobaldum comitem Blesenem…Stephanum comitem de Sancerre quod Sacrum Cesaris est dictum…et Guillelmus" as the four sons of "comes Campanie Theobaldus"[886]. William of Tyre names him and his father[887]. Comte de Sancerre. Amaury I King of Jerusalem invited him to Palestine end 1170 offering him the hand of his daughter Sibylle. He landed in Summer 1171, but quickly broke off negotiations for the marriage and left Palestine for Constantinople. He was robbed by Mleh Lord of the Mountains [Armenia-Rupen] as he passed through Cilicia[888]. Matthew Paris records the death at Acre in 1191 of "Theodbaldus Bloeensis comes, Stephanus frater eius comes"[889]. He died of disease at the siege of Acre[890].

m (1153) as her second husband, ALIX [Mathilde] de Donzy, widow of ANSEAU [II] Seigneur de Traînel, daughter of GEOFFROY [III] Seigneur de Donzy & his second wife Garna de Toucy (-1175). The Historia Gloriosi Regis Ludovici VII records that "Gaufridus de Giemago…filiam suam" married "Stephano de Sancerro", with Gien as her dowry[891]. The primary source which confirms her name and first marriage has not so far been identified.

Comte Etienne [I] & his wife had three children:

1. GUILLAUME [I] de Sancerre (-Epirus 1217). La Thaumassière names “Guillaume I, Jean de Sancerre mort sans alliance, Etienne de Sancerre Seigneur de Saint Briçon” as the three children of Etienne Comte de Sancerre and his wife, but does not cite the source on which this information is based[892]. He succeeded his father in 1191 as Comte de Sancerre. “Willelmus comes Sacri Cesaris” acknowledged holding Sancerre as vassal of Blanche comtesse de Champagne, including “foedum domini Montis-falconis, foedum domini Seilliaci, foedum domini de Weure, Leerium...sanctum Brictium...Castellionem super Loa”, by charter dated 1209[893]. He travelled to Constantinople in 1217 with Pierre de Courtenay Latin Emperor of Constantinople: “Eustachia comitissa Sacricesariensis” donated property to Senan priory, in accordance with the wishes of “Willelmus Sacricesariensis maritus meus” before leaving “ad subsidium Terre-Sancte cum domino Petro germano meo, tunc comite Autissiodorensi”, by charter dated 1218[894].

The necrology of La Chartreuse de Bellary records the death "6 Apr" of "Eustache comtesse de Sancerre"[899]. Comte Guillaume [I] & his second wife had one child:

a) LOUIS [I] (-1268). Comte de Sancerre. “Ludovicus comes Sacri-Cæsaris bonæ memoriæ Wilhelmi comitis filius...uxorem habens sed adhuc sine liberis”, following the example of “Wilhelmi comitis et comitis Theobaldi et comitis Stephani comitis de Sancero”, granted rights to “burgo sancti Satyri”, by charter dated May 1229[900]. “Ludovicus comes Sacri-Cæsaris” confirmed the grant of privileges to “Lorriaci habitaboribus” made by “avus meus Stephanus et pater meus Guillermus quondam comites Sacri-Cæsaris” by charter dated 1241[901]. m firstly (before 1220) BLANCHE de Courtenay, daughter of ROBERT de Courtenay & his first wife Constance ---.

Her parentage and second marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 1267 which records the settlement of a dispute between “Robertus de Sancerro miles” and “Joanne comite de Sancerro fratre suo”, after arbitration by “Guillelmum de Calviniaco dominum Castri-Radulphi et Joannem de Claviniaco dominum de Leproso milites”, the document also naming “Ludovicum comitem Sacri-Cesaris defunctum patrem eorum fratrum et Isabellam dominam Meduanæ defunctam quondam uxorem dicti Ludovici”[903]. The necrology of Le Mans Cathedral records the death "V Id Apr" of "Ysabellis domina Meduane"[904]. Comte Louis [I] & his first wife had three children:

2. JEAN de Sancerre (-after 1200). La Thaumassière names “Guillaume I, Jean de Sancerre mort sans alliance, Etienne de Sancerre Seigneur de Saint Briçon” as the three children of Etienne Comte de Sancerre and his wife, but does not cite the source on which this information is based[906].

3. ETIENNE [II] de Sancerre (-1252). La Thaumassière names “Guillaume I, Jean de Sancerre mort sans alliance, Etienne de Sancerre Seigneur de Saint Briçon” as the three children of Etienne Comte de Sancerre and his wife, but does not cite the source on which this information is based[907]. Seigneur de Châtillon-sur-Loing: “Stephanus Sacri-Cæsaris dominus Castellionis” confirmed “usus et consuetudines Lorriaci” to “burgensibus meis de Sancto Briscio” made by “bonæ memoriæ comes Stephanus pater meus” by charter dated Sep 1210[908]. Seigneur de Saint-Brisson. Bouteiller de France. “Stephanus de Sacro-Cesare et Alienor uxor mea quondam comitissa Bellimontis” donated property to the prieuré du Lay by charter dated 1216[909].

The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "uxorem comitis Iohannis Bellimontis…et uxorem Stephani de Sancerra" as the daughters of "Alaydis [filia comitem de Brana Robertum domnum]" & her fourth husband[911], although this appears to refer to the same person. “Stephanus de Sacro-Cesare et Alienor uxor mea quondam comitissa Bellimontis” donated property to the prieuré du Lay by charter dated 1216[912]. "Stephanus de Sacrocesaris et Elianor uxor mea, Bellimontis quondam comitissa" donated property "in territorio Joiaci" to Val-Notre-Dame by charter dated Oct 1220[913]. m secondly as her third husband, AGNES Dame de Montreuil-Bellay, widow firstly of GUILLAUME [II] Vicomte de Melun and secondly of WALERAN d’Ivry, daughter of GERAUD de Montreuil-Bellay & his wife Bathilde --- (-4 Dec [after 1234]). The necrology of the Abbaye du Jard records the death "II Non Dec" of "Agnetis vicecomitisse Meledunensis"[914]. Etienne [II] & his first wife had two children:

a) ALIX de Sancerre ([1210/20?]-after 1263). Her parentage and marriage are indicated by the decision of the Paris parliament dated 1263 granting a share in their paternal inheritance “de Lopa et de Marcheisvillam”, which they claimed from “leur frère le comte de Sancerre”, to “la dame de Dangu et à la vicomtesse de Melun”[915]. Her birth date is estimated very approximately to test the chronology of her husband’s family. m as his second wife, GUILLAUME [IV] Crespin Seigneur de Bec-Crespin, son of GUILLAUME [III] Crespin Seigneur de Bec-Crespin & his wife Eve d’Harcourt Dame de Lisors (-[28 Jul] 1251).

b) COMTESSE de Sancerre (-after 1275).

c) ETIENNE [III] de Sancerre (-[1282/84]). Seigneur de Saint-Brisson et de Châtillon-sur-Loing. m ([1270]) PERNELLE de Milly, daughter of GEOFFROY Seigneur de Milly & his second wife Eléonore --- (-before Oct 1331). A charter dated [1/7] Oct 1331 records reimbursement to [her named Courtenay grandsons] of sums due to “feu messire Estienne de Sancerre iadis chevalier et feüe madame Perrenelle de Milly fille iadis feu monsieur Geoffroy de Milly sa femme” from the succession of “dudit feu monsieur Geoffroy de Milly, de feüe madame Ennor iadis femme dudit feu monsieur Geoffroy et de feu monsieur Guillaume de Milly iadis frere de ladite madame Perrenelle”, which had been paid to “de bonne memoire feu monsieur Huë de Bouuille le Pere iadis chevalier et seigneur de Milly...feüe madame Françoise de Seuly iadis dame de Boisgibaut...son douaire pour cause de feu monseigneur Guillaume de Milly iadis mari”[917]. Etienne [III] & his wife had two children:

i) MARGUERITE de Sancerre . Dame de Marcheville la Loupe. m (Apr 1290) GILLES de Melun Seigneur de la Salle, son of --- (-before 1312).

ii) JEANNE de Sancerre (-[11 Jan 1301/Apr 1313]). Dame de Saint-Brisson et de Châtillon-sur-Loing. The marriage contract of “Iohans de Courtenay Sires de Champignelles” and “damoisele Iohanne de Sancerre fille de...Etienne de Sancerre Seigneur de Saint Briçom chevalier” is dated Oct 1290[918]. m (contract Gien Oct 1290) JEAN [I] de Courtenay Seigneur de Champignelles, son of GUILLAUME [I] de Courtenay Seigneur de Champignelles & his second wife Agnes de Toucy (-[12 Jan 1317/end Nov 1318]).

JEAN [I] de Sancerre, son of LOUIS [I] Comte de Sancerre & his first wife Blanche de Courtenay (after May 1229-before 28 May 1284). His birth date is indicated by the charter dated May 1229 under which [his father] “Ludovicus comes Sacri-Cæsaris bonæ memoriæ Wilhelmi comitis filius...uxorem habens sed adhuc sine liberis” granted rights to “burgo sancti Satyri”[919]. Comte de Sancerre. A charter dated 1267 records the settlement of a dispute between “Robertus de Sancerro miles” and “Joanne comite de Sancerro fratre suo”, after arbitration by “Guillelmum de Calviniaco dominum Castri-Radulphi et Joannem de Claviniaco dominum de Leproso milites”, and the division of territories under which Robert received “fortalitiam de Moneto Sallonis...et...terram de Moneto...”[920].

m (1259) MARIE de Vierzon Dame de Menetou-Salon et de Soesmes, daughter of GUILLAUME [II] Seigneur de Vierzon & his wife Blanche de Joigny (-after 28 May 1284).

Comte Jean [I] & his wife had children:

2. JEAN [II] de Sancerre (-1327, bur Bourges Jacobins). Seigneur de Charenton. m firstly LOUISE de Beaumetz, son of ROBERT de Beaumetz & his wife --- (-before 1323, bur Bourges Jacobins). Her parentage and marriage are indicated by a document of the Parlement de Paris dated 9 Jan 1329 relating to income from land inherited by “Louis comte de Sancerre, Hugues de Lorraine écuyer sire de la Roche et Marguerite sa femme” from “Robert sire de Beaumetz châtelain de Bapaume et d’Isabeau sa femme”[922]. The primary source which confirms her name has not been identified. m secondly (1323) as her third husband, ISABELLE Mauvoisin, widow firstly of PIERRE [VI] le Hideux de Chambly and secondly of JEAN [II] Seigneur d’Heilly, daughter of GUY [VII] Mauvoisin Seigneur de Rosny & his wife Isabelle de Mello (-after 1323). Jean [II] & his first wife had children:

a) LOUIS [II] de Sancerre (-1346). His parentage is confirmed by the document dated 9 Jan 1329 cited above. m BEATRIX de Roucy Dame de Bommiers, daughter of JEAN [V] Comte de Roucy & his wife Marguerite de Bommiers (-after 1348). The testament of “Jehanne de Dreux comtesse de Roucy et dame de Puisoye”, dated 1 Oct 1324, bequeathed property to “ma fille de Chastiauvillain [...Marie]...ma fille de Craon [...Beatrix]...ma fille de Rouci la Comtesse...ma fille Beatrix fille Jehan mon fil“[923]. The primary source which confirms her marriage has not been identified. Louis [II] & his wife had children:

i) JEAN [III] de Sancerre (1334-[Feb 1402/1403]). Comte de Sancerre. An undated document dated to [1348-98] records “le conte de Sancerre, a cause de sa fame qui est de ceulx de Reillé et de Mermande” holding land “environ Azay entre Aindre et le bois de Ruchart, et ce que il a pres Azay…”, and another (similarly dated) the homage of “le compte de Sancerre, par reson de madame sa fame, dame de Mermande, de la Haie et Saint-Michel sur Loire” for “la terre de Nuyllé près la Haie...”[924]. A record of vassals dated 1364 includes “Comes Sacri Cesari, ratione uxoris sue domine de Marmandia, heredis [dominis Symonis] de Sancto Michaele” acknowledging his obligation to supply food and serve the archbishop of Tours, and “pro defuncto Gaufredo, domino Haie” to provide wine[925]. m firstly (before 24 Mar 1351) MARGUERITE de Marmande Dame de Marmande, [daughter of PIERRE Seigneur de Marmande & his wife Isabelle de la Haye OR daughter of GEOFFROY Seigneur de Marmande & his wife ---]. Marguerite was heiress to the châtellenies of Marmande, Saint-Michel-sur-Loire, la Haye en Touraine (=la Haye-Descartes) and Faye-la-Vineuse as well as the seigneuries of la Roche-Clermault, Azay-sur-Indre, Cravant and Trèves[926]. The primary source which confirms her parentage has not been identified: secondary sources show two alternatives. Firstly, Carré de Busserolle (whose work is far from error-free) names her as daughter of Pierre de Marmande, son of “Guillaume de Marmande”, and his wife Isabelle de la Haye “fille de Geoffroy de la Haye, baron de la Haye, seigneur de Neuilly-le-Noble, de Monzay et de la Croix de Bléré, et de Marie de Maillé” (no sources cited)[927]. Pierre is named in two charters: (1) “Nobilis vir dominus Petrus de Mermande miles dominus de Rocha Clermau...et nobilis domine...Ysabellis de Haia ejus uxoris” founded “apud villam de Caynone, Turonensis diocesis...in cappella...apud villam predictam constructa...quatuor cappellanias perpetuas” by charter dated 11 Jul 1343[928]. The title of this document in the cartulary records the foundation by “deffuncto domino P. de Mermande milite”, although the text does not appear to support the suggestion that the founder was then deceased. (2) “Noble homme monseigneur Pierre [de] Mermande, sire de la Roche Clermau, chevalier” acknowledged a debt relating to the foundation of “une chappelle de Notre Dame en la ville de Chinon” by charter dated 23 Sep 1343[929], which disproves Pierre’s death before the date of the first charter. Secondly, Guérin, contradicting Carré de Busserolle, assumes that Geoffroy de Marmande was Marguerite’s father[930]. He discusses a document dated 11 Apr 1348 which records the lawsuit brought by “Geoffroy, sire de Marmande” in the Parlement de Paris against “Jean et Guillaume de Buguet [monnayers de la monnaie d’Angers]” relating to manufacture from ore supplied by Geoffroy[931], and another dated 24 Mar 1351 which Guérin says records the adjournment of a related hearing, after the claimant’s death, before the sénéchal de Toulouse and the bailli de Touraine in favour of “son gendre, le comte de Sancerre”[932]. Neither the original, nor an extract, of the second document has been seen. The possibility cannot therefore be excluded that “gendre” did not appear in the original but was used by Guérin because he assumed that Geoffroy was Marguerite’s father. One of the documents cited above under Marguerite’s husband confirms that she was heiress of the La Haye family, another that she was heiress of Simon de Saint-Michel, presumably indicating her descent from both families. The other documentation cited above suggests that Geoffroy was the son of Pierre, whom he succeeded soon after 1343, that Geoffroy died [11 Apr 1348/24 Mar 1351], when he was succeeded by Marguerite. This suggestion is complicated by another charter dated Jun 1338 in which “Mons. Jouffroy seigneur de Mermende et de Faye la vinouse” acknowledged receipt of a payment[933]. Assuming that this document is correctly dated, 1338 Geoffroy was presumably a different person from 1348 Geoffroy, in which case the former could have been Pierre’s predecessor (or co-seigneur with Pierre). In conclusion, not enough information is known about the chronology of the Marmande, La Haye and Saint-Michel families to decide whether Marguerite was Pierre’s daughter or the sister of 1348 Geoffroy. Déjardin’s analysis does not help: in two places he names Pierre as her father, in another he says that she was Geoffroy’s daughter[934]. Resolution of the problem must await the emergence of more sources, in particular sight of the 24 Mar 1351 decision. m secondly as her first husband, CONSTANZA di Saluzzo, daughter of FEDERIGO II Marchese di Saluzzo & his wife Beatrix de Genève (after [1360]-). She married secondly Geoffroy le Meingre dit Boucicaut. A charter dated 20 May 1424 records a claim by “Gaufrido le Mengre dicto Boucicaut milite” against "consanguineo nostro Beraldo comite Dalphino Alverniæ", recording that “Constancia de Saluciis defuncto avo materno dicti Beraldi” married firstly “Sacrocæsare comiti” and secondly “præfato Gaufrido”[935]. Jean [III] & his first wife had one child:

(a) MARGUERITE de Sancerre (-1419). The 16 Mar 1418 record cited below, in which she is named “Dame de Marmande” confirms that her father’s first wife was her mother. The marriage contract between "Johannes comes de Sacrocæsare et…Margarita domina de Meremendia…relicta…domini Girardi quondam domini de Rays" and "dominus Beraldus Dalphini Alverniæ comes Claromontensis dominusque de Mercorio" is dated 27 Jun 1374[936]. A charter dated 5 Mar 1377 records an agreement between "Berault dauphin d’Auvergne conte de Clermont et…Marguerite de Sancerre sa femme" and "madamoiselle Jehanne dame de Rais, heritiere seule…de feu…Girart son frère et mari de lad. Marguerite, et madame Phelippe Bertrande, mère de lad. Marguerite" relating to the dower of Marguerite[937]. Père Anselme records her parentage and marriages, noting that her third husband settled disputes with the seigneurs de Parthenay, de Pons et de Belleivlle relating to her dower in 1409[938]. Her supposed third marriage to Jean [II] dit Lourdin Seigneur de Saligny[939] is incorrect, as his marriage to Jeanne Braque (widow of Pierre [III] de Courtenay Seigneur de Champignelles et de Saint-Brisson, see the document CHAMPAGNE NOBILITY-SENS & JOIGNY) was contracted 26 Nov 1413, indicating that Marguerite could not have been his widow when she married Jacques de Montbron[940]. Schnerb records Jean Lourdin’s 1411/1449 lawsuit, against the heirs of Béraud [II] Dauphin d’Auvergne and his wife, concerning the Auvergne inheritance, in which he claimed a 3^o relationship with Marguerite de Sancerre[941], which may account for the confusion. A document dated 16 Mar 1418 records the obligations of “Margueritte de Sancerre(?) Dame de Marmande” relating to harvest provided to Fontmore priory[942]. m firstly GERARD [VI] Chabot Baron de Rays, son of GERARD [V] Chabot Baron de Rays & his wife Philippa Bertrand (1344-[1370/3 Nov 1371]). m secondly (Riom 27 Jun 1374) as his third wife, BERAUD [II] "le Grand Dauphin" Dauphin d’Auvergne, son of BERAUD [I] Dauphin Comte de Clermont & his wife Marie de Villemur (-17 Jan 1400). m thirdly (1408) as his second wife, JACQUES de Montbron Seigneur de Montbron, son of ROBERT [IX] Seigneur de Montbron & his wife Yolande de Matha (-1422).

Jean [III] & his [first/second] wife had one child:

(b) JEANNE de Sancerre (-before 12 Sep 1398). m (1388) LANCELOT Turpin Seigneur de Crissée, son of --- (-1414).

ii) LOUIS de Sancerre ([1341/42]-6 Feb 1402, bur Saint-Denis). Seigneur de Bommiers.

iii) ETIENNE de Sancerre (-Tunis 1390). Seigneur de Vailly. m firstly BELLASSES Dame de Vailly, daughter of ---. m secondly as her second husband, ALIX de Beaujeu, widow of JOSSERAND de Lavieu Seigneur de Fougerolles, daughter of GUICHARD de Beaujeu Seigneur de Perreux & his wife --- (-after 1394). She married thirdly (1392) Guy [IV] de Lévis Baron de Cousan Seigneur de la Ferrière.

iv) ISABELLE de Sancerre (-[1375]). The primary source which confirms her parentage and two marriages has not been identified. m firstly PIERRE de Graçay, son of --- (-1365). m secondly (after 1365) as his first wife, GUICHARD [I] d’Auvergne Seigneur de Jaligny, de Trétaux et de la Ferté-Chauderon, son of ROBERT d’Auvergne Seigneur de Saint-Ilpize et de Jaligny & his second wife Isabelle de Châtelperron Dame de Jaligny et de Trétaux ([1329/30]-before 5 Dec 1403).

b) JEANNE de Sancerre (-[1353/54], bur Saint-Martin). "Ioannes de Castellione miles comes Porciani et Iacoba de Domnomartino uxor eius” revived the dispute between “Ioannem dominum de Castellione militem et Ioannam de Sacrocæsare comitissam de Domnimartino eius uxorem...gardam...Karoli comitis Domnimartino et...dictæ Jacobæ” and “Matheum de Tria militem, Ioannem eius fratrem, Yolendim et Lienoram de Tria eorum sorores” by charter dated 7 Mar 1350 (O.S.?)[943]. Duchesne records that Jeanne sued “Jean Seigneur de sainct Gobert chevalier” concerning “la justice de la ville de sainct Gobert” in 1353, adding that “peu de temps après” she died and was buried next to her first husband “dans l’église collégiale de sainct Martin”[944]. m firstly JEAN [III] Comte de Dammartin, son of RENAUD [II] Comte de Dammartin & his wife Philippa de Beaumont (-1338 or before, bur Saint-Martin). m secondly (after 1341) as his third wife, JEAN de Châtillon Seigneur de Châtillon-sur-Marne, son of GAUCHER [V] de Châtillon Comte de Porcien & his first wife Isabelle de Dreux (-1363, bur Cerfroy).

3. LOUIS de Sancerre (-before 13 Nov 1350, bur Bourges Jacobins). Seigneur de Chagonne et de Charpigny. m ISABELLE de Thouars, daughter of GUY [II] Vicomte de Thouars & his wife Marguerite de Brienne-Eu.

4. BLANCHE de Sancerre . m (1301) PIERRE [I] de Brosse Seigneur de Sainte-Sevère et de Boussac, son of ROGER de Brosse Seigneur de Sainte-Sevère & his wife Marguerite de Déols (-1305, bur Huriel Saint-Martin).

B. COMTES de SANCERRE (BUEIL)

JEAN [V] de Bueil, son of JEAN [IV] Seigneur de Bueil & his [second] wife Marguerite de Clermont (-[7] Jul [1477], bur Bueil). Seigneur de Bueil. A charter dated 27 Sep 1438 records a dispute involving “...Jehan seigneur de Bueil, Loys de Bueil seigneur de Mermande son frere et...Chambellan Pierre d’Amboise seigneur de Chaulmont et Agnes de Bueil sa femme” concerning the succession of "feu Berauld Daulphin le Grant et...feu Berauld Daulphin le second son fils et de Jeanne Daulphine fille d’icellui Berauld le second"[945]. Comte de Sancerre: the Parlement of Paris adjudicated the county of Sancerre in his favour against the claim of Guillaume de Vienne Seigneur de Saint-Georges, his maternal first cousin[946]. An epitaph records the burial 7 Jul 1478 of “Monsr Jehan de Bueil le vaillant”, a date which Auvray corrects to 1477 considering the testament of his second wife[947]. Notes, attributed to Gaignières, relating to his tomb record the burial of “Messire Jean de Bueil...chevalier, comte de Sancerre et baron de Chasteaux en Anjou, mary de feu Madame Jeanne de Montejehan, frere aisné germain de feu Louis de Bueil baron de Marmande”, without providing a precise date of death[948].

m firstly JEANNE de Montejean, daughter of JEAN Seigneur de Montejean & his wife Anne de Sillë-le-Guillaume (-bur Bueil). She is named in the notes relating to her husband’s tomb quoted above.

m secondly (contract 1456) MARTINE Turpin, daughter of ANTOINE Turpin Seigneur de Crissé & his wife Anne de la Gresille (-after 20 Aug 1477). The testament of Martine Turpin “veuve” is dated 20 Aug 1477[949].

Jean [V] & his first wife had one child:

1. ANTOINE de Bueil (-after 1506). Comte de Sancerre, Seigneur de Bueil. m (contract Tours 23 Dec 1461) JEANNE bâtarde de France, illegitimate daughter of CHARLES VII King of France & his mistress Agnès Sorel ([1445/48]-after 1467). Delort dates Jeanne’s birth to 1444 “au château de Beauté” but cites no primary source on which he bases this information[950]. Père Anselme names Jeanne as her parents’ third child[951]. There appears to be no primary source evidence which indicates the order of birth of Jeanne and her sister Charlotte. Jeanne’s marriage before Charlotte may indicate that she was older. The contract between “Jehan seigneur de Bueil chevalier comte de Sancerre...ou nom de Anthoine de Bueil son filz aisné” and “Pierre Berart chevalier seigneur de Bleré et de Chissé mre d’ostel du Roy nostre syre et tresorier de France ou nom et comme procureur du Roy nostre dit seigneur” for the marriage of “le dit Anthoine de Bueil” and “dame Jeanne de France sœur naturelle du Roy et fille du roy Charles dernier trespassé” is dated 23 Dec 1461 at Tours and records land which “ledit sire de Bueil” had promised to give “Jacques filz bastart de feu Loys de Bueil son frère”[952]. Antoine & his wife had two children:

a) JACQUES de Bueil (-8 Oct 1513). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified. Comte de Sancerre, Seigneur de Bueil.

- COMTES de SANCERRE[953].

b) RENEE de Bueil . The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified. m (18 Mar 1479) as his second wife, JAN [V] van Gruuthuse, son of LODEWIJK van de Aa dit de Bruges Heer van Gruuthuse & his wife Margareta van Borselen (-6 Sep 1512). Sénéchal d’Anjou 29 Jan 1483. Earl of Winchester. Heer van Gruuthuse, Steenhuize. Governor of Picardie 1504.
