The present document shows the nobility in the western part of Gascony along the Atlantic coast.
Chapter 1. SEIGNEURS d'ALBRET
The family of the seigneurs d’Albret originated in Labrit, a town in Landes south of Bordeaux[1]. The two names appear to have the same etymology, "Albret" presumably representing an evolution in French of the Gascon "Labrit". The remains of what is thought to have been the Albret castle, probably originally built in [1100] and abandoned in the 16th century, were rediscovered at Labrit by Jean-Bernard Marquette and classified as "monument historique" by order dated 27 Dec 1990[2]. According to Jaurgain, the seigneurs d’Albret were descended from the vicomtes de Bezaume, but his reconstruction appears based only on onomastics rather than any specific primary source[3]. In addition, the reconstruction of the first few generations of this family, as shown in most secondary sources including Jaurgain, is not an accurate reflection of the precise wording of the surviving primary source documentation. There is a high probability that the individuals named are closely related in the male line, as shown by the onomastics, but the generally accepted reconstruction has in part been deconstructed for the purposes of presentation in the present document. It is only from Amanieu [VI] Seigneur d’Albret (who died before Sep 1240) that an unbroken line of descent can be traced in the male line until the early 16th century. Despite the lack of a noble title higher than "sire", the family made judicious marriages into the families of the comtes d’Armagnac, the comtes de la Marche, the ducs de Bourbon in the 13th and14th centuries. In the mid-15th century, Charles [II] Seigneur d’Albret was invested as comte de Dreux by the king of France, and his descendant Alain (who died in 1522) was made Comte de Castres, de Gavre et de Périgord. Alain’s grandson Jean completed the family’s ascent when he married the heiress of the kingdom of Navarre and succeeded as king of Navarre by right of his wife.
1. AMANIEU [I], son of --- (-after [1030]). "Bernardus Willelmus comes" confirmed the foundation of Saint-Sever, confirmed by "germano meo Sancio et beatæ memoriæ matre mea Urraca, cum duobus consanguineus nostris Aymone…et Aymonio", by charter dated 3 Apr [1009][4]. According to Jaurgain, "Aymone…et Aymonio" were brothers[5]. Amanieu signed a charter dated to [1030] under which Sancho Guillaume Duke of Gascony donated property to the church of Saint-André de Bordeaux[6]. Jaurgain identifies Amanieu as ancestor of the seigneurs d’Albret[7].
2. AMANIEU [II] (-after [1050]). The Historia Abbatiæ Condomensis records that "Amaneus Lebrestensis" claimed "ecclesiam sancti Petri Sanagorensis" during the time of Seguin abbot of Condom (dated to [1050])[8]. The dates of the mentions of Amanieu [I] and Amanieu [II] suggest that they must have been different persons. Seigneur d'Albret. m ---. The name of Amanieu's wife is not known. Amanieu [I] & his wife had [two] children: a) [BERNARD AIZ [I] d'Albret (-after [1097]). Although Bernard and Guillaume Amanieu are shown to be brothers, by the subscription "Willelmus Amanei, Bernardi fratris eius" of charters of Grande-Sauve dated to [1079/89][9], no primary source has been found which confirms that they were the sons of Amanieu [II] except for the patronymic attributed to Guillaume Amanieu. Seigneur d'Albret. "Bernardus Aiz de Lebret cum uxor mea et filiis" donated property to Grande-Sauve by charter dated to [1085][10].] m ---. The name of Bernard Aiz's wife is not known. Bernard Aiz [I] & his wife had three children: i) AMANIEU [III] d'Albret (-after [1140]). "Amaneus de Lebret filius Bernardeizii" subscribed a charter to Saint-Sever dated to [1125][11]. Seigneur d'Albret. b) [GUILLAUME AMANIEU d'Albret (-after [1097]). Although Bernard and Guillaume Amanieu are shown to be brothers, by the subscription "Willelmus Amanei, Bernardi fratris eius" of charters of Grande-Sauve dated to [1079/89][12], no primary source has been found which confirms that they were the sons of Amanieu [II] except for the patronymic attributed to Guillaume Amanieu. Vicomte de Bezaume. Comte de Benauges.]
3. GUILLAUME AMANIEU (-after [1105]). According to Jaurgain, Guillaume Amanieu was the son of Bernard Aiz [I] but he cites no primary source which confirms that this is correct[13]. Seigneur de Brocas. "Willelmus Amaneus et uxor sua Beliard cum filio suo Arnaldo" donated rights to Saint-Sever by charter dated to [1105][14]. m BELIARDE, daughter of ---. "Willelmus Amaneus et uxor sua Beliard cum filio suo Arnaldo" donated rights to Saint-Sever by charter dated to [1105][15]. Guillaume Amanieu & his wife had one child: a) ARNAUD (-after [1105]). "Willelmus Amaneus et uxor sua Beliard cum filio suo Arnaldo" donated rights to Saint-Sever by charter dated to [1105][16].
4. ETIENNE d’Albret (-after 1126). According to Jaurgain, Etienne was the son of Amanieu [III] but he cites no primary source which confirms that this is correct[17]. "Stephanus de Lebret archidiaconus Vasalensis qui episcopus fuerat" signed the charter dated 1124 which records the foundation of the monastery of Font-Guilhem[18]. Archdeacon of Bazas.
1. BERNARD AIZ [II] d'Albret (-before 1155). According to Jaurgain, Bernard Aiz [II] was the son of Amanieu [III] but he cites no primary source which confirms that this is correct[19]. Seigneur d'Albret. According to Jaurgain, Bernard Aiz [II] is named in a charter dated 1140[20].
2. --- . Jaurgain states that Amanieu [IV] was the son of Bernard Aiz [II] but he cites no primary source which confirms that this is correct[21]. The chronology is such that he could also have been Amanieu [III] d’Albret (see above). m --- de Béarn, daughter of GASTON [IV] Vicomte de Béarn & his wife Talesia Sánchez ([1090/1110]-). The charter dated 1164, under which "Amaneus de Lebreto nepos Gastonis vicecomitis de Bearn" donated "terras suas de Artigavella" to the abbot of Fort-Guilhem[22], appears to confirm that Gaston [IV] was the maternal grandfather of Amanieu [IV] d’Albret although this may not be the only interpretation of "nepos" in this document. The name of her husband is not known with certainty. Jaurgain states that he was Bernard Aiz [II] but he cites no primary source which confirms that this is correct[23]. The chronology is such that her husband could also have been Amanieu [III] d’Albret (see above). Three children: a) AMANIEU [IV] d'Albret (-[1187/91]). Jaurgain states that Amanieu [IV] was the son of Bernard Aiz [II] but he cites no primary source which confirms that this is correct[24]. Seigneur d'Albret. - see below. b) ROGER d'Albret . Roger d’Albret and his brother Amanieu are named in a charter of Odon [IV] Vicomte de Lomagne dated 1060[25]. c) REGINE d'Albret (-after 1195). Her marriage is confirmed by the charter dated 29 Sep 1195 which records that Amanieu [IV] d’Albret had paid the dowry of "Rogie d’Albret sa sœur, femme d’Arnaud de Lomagne et mère d’Odon seigneur de Batz"[26]. m ARNAUD de Lomagne Seigneur de Batx, son of VEZIAN [I] Vicomte de Lomagne & his wife Beatrix --- (-after 1195).
AMANIEU [IV] d'Albret, son of --- d’Albret & his wife --- de Béarn (-[1187/91]). Jaurgain states that Amanieu [IV] was the son of Bernard Aiz [II] but he cites no primary source which confirms that this is correct[27]. Seigneur d'Albret. "Amaneus de Lebret" donated "la terre où fur construit le prieuré de Niac" to Grande-Selve by charter dated 1155[28]. "Amaneus de Lebreto nepos Gastonis vicecomitis de Bearn" donated "terras suas de Artigavella" to the abbot of Fort-Guilhem by charter dated 1164[29]. ["Amaneus de Labret" confirmed rights to Grande-Selve by charter dated 1187[30], although it is uncertain whether this document relates to Amanieu [IV] or Amanieu [V].] [According to L’Art de vérifier les dates, Amanieu [IV]’s testament was dated 2 Aug 1209[31]. This is impossible if his wife’s second marriage is correctly dated to [1186/91] as shown above. The information available in surviving primary sources appears to be insufficient to decide conclusively whether how many different seigneurs d’Albret named Amanieu lived during the second half of the 12th century. Jaurgain attempts to resolve the anomaly by stating that the testament was that of "Amanieu V Sire d’Albret" who, he says, was the son of Amanieu [IV]. Unfortunately, Jaurgain also says that this "Amanieu V" was the husband of Almodis d’Angoulême, presumably unaware of her second marriage. He cites no primary sources on which he bases his arguments. Estimating birth date ranges helps only approximately in resolving the problem. The only reference from which Amanieu [IV]’s birth date can be assessed is the very approximate date assigned to his mother (see above). The birth date of his supposed wife Almodis d’Angoulême can be assessed more precisely (see below), and if Amanieu [IV] was born towards the end of the range shown above he would not have been much older than her. Obviously, the earlier his actual birth date, the greater the age difference, and the more likely that Almodis’s husband was Amanieu [IV]’s son. Whatever the solution to this conundrum, we are still left with the testament dated 2 Aug 1209 which could not have been that of Almodis’s husband, assuming that her second marriage is correct.] m as her first husband, ALMODIS d'Angoulême, daughter of GUILLAUME VI Comte d'Angoulême & his second wife Marguerite de Turenne ([1151/52]-). Her birth date is estimated on the assumption that the birth of her probable son by her first marriage is correctly dated to [1165/70]. Her parentage and first marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 1171 under which "Vuillelmus Talafers comes Engolismensis Vulgrini filius et Margarita uxor mea et filii nostri Vulgrinus scilicet primogenitus noster, Vuillelmus Talafers, Ademarus, Grisetus, Fulco et Almodis filia nostra uxor Amanei de Lebret" transferred rights to Saint-Amant-de-Boixe[32]. She married secondly Bernard [III] Vicomte de Brosse. Her second marriage is confirmed by the charter dated to [1186/91] under which "Ademarus comes Engolismensis et soror mea Almodis vicecomitissa de Brozces" donated property to Saint-Amant-de-Boixe[33], and by the charter also dated to [1186/91] under which "Almodis soror Ademari Engolismensis comitis" donated property to Saint-Amant-de-Boixe with the consent of "fratre meo A comite et viro meo Bernardo vicecomite de Brozces"[34]. Amanieu & his wife had [one] child: 1. [AMANIEU [V] d'Albret ([1165/70]-after 2 Aug 1209). ["Amaneus de Labret" confirmed rights to Grande-Selve by charter dated 1187[35], although it is uncertain whether this document relates to Amanieu [IV] or Amanieu [V].] According to L’Art de vérifier les dates, the testament of "Amanieu d’Albret" was dated 2 Aug 1209[36]. As noted above, it is not clear to which Seigneur d’Albret this document can refer. Amanieu [IV], assuming that he was the husband of Almodis d’Angoulême as shown above, must have died before her second marriage which is dated to [1186/91]. Amanieu [VI], shown below, is recorded as living in the 1230s. It is chronologically possible for there to have been an intervening generation. If this is correct, the charter dated 1187, under which "Amaneus de Labret" confirmed rights to Grande-Selve[37], may refer to Amanieu [V] as, if Amanieu [IV] had recently died, it may have been considered appropriate for his successor to confirm previous arrangements with the abbey. Amanieu [V] would also have been "aïeul" of "Amanevus de Lebreto filius quondam domine Assalite filie vicecomitis de Tartascio" recorded in the charter dated 17 Oct 1240 as having granted rights to the abbot of Grandselve in 1200[38]. Seigneur d’Albret. m ---. The name of Amanieu’s wife is not known. Amanieu [V] & his wife had [two] children: a) [AMANIEU [VI] d'Albret ([1190/95]-before Sep 1240). Most secondary sources record the person presented in this document as Amanieu [VI] as the son of Amanieu [IV] and his wife Almodis d’Angoulême. However, as noted above, this fails to take into account the Amanieu whose testament is dated 2 Aug 1209. Assigning possible birth date ranges to Amanieu [IV], [V] and [VI] as shown in this document demonstrates that the hypothesis is feasible from a chronological point of view. Seigneur d'Albret. The Histoire de la Croisade des Albigeois (in Provençal verse) records that "N Amaneus de Lebret" was present at the capture of the château de Termes in 1210 and at the siege of Marmande in 1219[39]. "Amanevus de Lebreto" signed a document dated 16 Aug 1231 guaranteeing safe passage to the king of England for his visit for the dedication of the church of the abbey of Grande-Sauve[40]. m firstly ([1215]) ASSALIDE de Tartas, daughter of ARNAUD RAYMOND Vicomte de Tartas & his wife Navara de Dax. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 17 Oct 1240 under which "Amanevus de Lebreto filius quondam domine Assalite filie vicecomitis de Tartascio" confirmed rights to the abbot of Grandselve[41]. m secondly ISABELLE de Bergerac, sister of Hélie Rudel Seigneur de Bergerac et de Gensac, daughter of ---. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by an undated document which records that "Hélie Rudel Seigneur de Bergerac, oncle de Bérard" complained to Simon de Montfort Earl of Leicester about the unjust settlement imposed by Amanieu [VII] Seigneur d’Albret on his brother Bérard[42]. Amanieu [VI] & his first wife had one child: i) AMANIEU [VII] d'Albret (-after Apr 1272). Raymond VII Comte de Toulouse invested "Amanevum de Lebreto" with all the fiefs in the diocese of Agen which his father held when he died[43]. Seigneur d'Albret. Vicomte de Maremne. - see below. Amanieu [VI] & his second wife had one child: ii) BERARD d'Albret (-before 5 Jun 1270). His parentage is confirmed by an undated document which records that "Hélie Rudel Seigneur de Bergerac, oncle de Bérard" complained to Simon de Montfort Earl of Leicester about the unjust settlement imposed by Amanieu [VII] Seigneur d’Albret on his brother Bérard[44]. Père Anselme says that he died before 5 Jun 1270 “lors du second testament de son frere, où il est nommé”[45]. b) [PUCELLE d'Albret (-after 1243). The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified, although it is indicated by the second testament of Amanieu [VII] Seigneur d’Albret dated 5 Jun 1270 which appointed “Geraud d’Armagnac son cousin” as guardian of his children[46]. Père Anselme says that she is named “dans un mandement d’Alfonse comte de Poitiers à son senéchal de Toulouse” but does not cite the corresponding primary source[47]. Monlezun records that Roger "et sa femme Pulcelle" donated "la terre de Cazaux" to Gimont abbey with “Arnaud-Bernard leur fils”, with the consent of “leurs enfants Géraud, Roger et Amanieu”, by charter dated 1243[48]. m ROGER d'Armagnac Vicomte de Fezensaguet, son of BERNARD d'Armagnac [Lomagne] & his wife Géraldesse --- (-[1243/22 Mar 1245]).]
AMANIEU [VII] d'Albret, son of AMANIEU [VI] Seigneur d’Albret & his first wife Assalide de Tartas (-after Apr 1272). Raymond VII Comte de Toulouse invested "Amanevum de Lebreto" with all the fiefs in the diocese of Agen which his father held when he died[49]. Seigneur d'Albret. "Amanevus de Lebreto filius quondam domine Assalite filie vicecomitis de Tartascio" confirmed rights to the abbot of Grandselve which had been granted by Amanieu d’Albret "son aïeul" in 1200, by charter dated 17 Oct 1240[50]. Vicomte de Maremne. The first testament of "el noble bar n’Amaniu de Labrit, filh de n’Amaniu de Labrid et de n’Assaride de Tartas" is dated 25 Jul 1262, appoints "Pey de Bordel et na Mathe, sa fille et ma moilher" as his executors and "Gaston de Bearn…en G. d’Armanhac" as substitutes in case of their death, names "Bernadeids mon filh" as his heir, and "Assaride ma filhe…de la avantdite na Matha ma moilher"[51]. Alphonse de Poitiers wrote to “P...episcopo Xantonensi” requesting an enquiry into claims made by “Hugonem dominum Parteniaci” against “Benedictum dominum de Mauritania militem, ratione uxoris sue”, requesting confirmation from “Amenevo de Lebreto militi et uxori sue, et sorori eiusdem uxoris et aliis partibus parti Benedicti domini de Mauritania, ratione uxoris sue, neptis vestre”, regarding the succession of “defuncti Gaufridi de Rançonio” by charter dated 3 Jun 1266[52]. "Hugo...Parteniaci miles" and "Guillielmus dominus de Sancta Maura miles...et nomine liberorum dicti Guillelmi" divided the succession of “defuncti Gaufridi de Ranconio senioris...ad ipsos liberos...[et] defuncti Gaufridi iunioris”, making specific provision for “Amaneus de Lebreto et Ioscelinum de Castalione milites ratione uxorum suarum”, by charter dated 1269[53]. Alphonse Comte de Poitou et de Toulouse agreed that "Amanevi de Lebreto et Gaucelini de Castellione...Hugo Archiepiscopus [domino Pertiniaci]" should receive one quarter of the inheritance of "Gaufridi de Rançonio, junioris, ultimo defuncti", the proportion due to their wives, by document dated 3 Jan 1270[54]. Père Anselme records the second testament of Amanieu [VII] Seigneur d’Albret dated 5 Jun 1270 which named his son “Bernardet” as his heir, except for “la terre de Marennes” which he left to his second son Amanieu, ordered that his third son “Arnaut-Amanieu” should enter the church, mentioned his daughters (presumably unnamed), and appointed “Geraud d’Armagnac son cousin” as guardian of his children[55]. He was still alive in Apr 1272, the date of the ecclesiastical judgment which ordered his first wife to return to him. m firstly (divorced) as her first [husband], VIANE de Gontaud, daughter of --- (-after Apr 1272). An ecclesiastical judgment dated Apr 1272 noted that “Ne Dame Vianne de Gontauld” had been married for several years to “Ne he Amaneu d’Albret du diocèse de Bazas” by whom she had “des enfants”, that she had been separated from her husband on the basis that Amanieu’s father had been her godfather and had married again with “Ne he Hélie de Castellione chev.”, that the basis for the separation was later proved to be incorrect, and that she was ordered to return to her first husband[56]. No record has been found which indicates how this matter was eventually resolved and what the impact was on status of Amanieu’s second marriage. m secondly (after [4 May 1256/4 Nov 1259]) as her second husband, MATHE de Bordeaux, widow of AYQUELM-GUILHEM [III] Seigneur de Lesparre, daughter of PIERRE de Bordeaux Captal de Buch & his wife --- de Rancon (-after May 1281). Her parentage and first marriage are confirmed by the testament of [her first husband] “Naiquem W. seher de Lesparra”, dated 4 May 1256, which confirmed the donation made on his marriage to “Mata sa molher” and donations made by “samolher per sin e an P. de Bordeu son paire”[57]. Her parentage and second marriage are confirmed by the first testament of her second husband "el noble bar n’Amaniu de Labrit, filh de n’Amaniu de Labrid et de n’Assaride de Tartas", dated 25 Jul 1262, which appoints "Pey de Bordel et na Mathe, sa fille et ma moilher" as his executors[58]. The status of her second marriage was placed in doubt by the ecclesiastical judgment dated Apr 1272 which her ordered her husband’s first wife to return to him (see above). No document has been found which indicates how the dispute was eventually resolved or what the ultimate impact was on the validity of this marriage or regarding the legitimacy of the couple’s children. The testament of “Mathe ve d’Amanjeu d’Albret”, dated May 1281, appointed “Amanjeu, Assalhite et Mathe ses enfants” as her heirs[59]. Amanieu [VI] & his first wife had two or more children: 1. --- d’Albret . Their existence is confirmed by the ecclesiastical judgment dated Apr 1272 relating to [their] parents’ marriage, quoted above, which specifies that the couple had “des enfants”. 2. ANNE d'Albret (-after 1 Dec 1287). The testament of "madame Nade d’Albret, dame de Lusenhan" is dated [11 Dec] 1281 and appoints "Amanieu d’Albret son frère" as her heir[60]. The date of this document, and her absence from the May 1281 testament of her father’s second wife, suggests that she was born from her father’s first marriage. The primary source which confirms her second marriage has not been identified. The testament of “Anne fille d’Amanjeu d’Albret”, dated 1 Dec 1287, appointed “Amanjeu d’Albret son frère Sgr de Marempne” as her heir[61]. m firstly ARNAUD de Lezinhac, son of ---. m secondly ARNAUD Arroumhan, son of ---. Amanieu [VI] & his second wife had five children: 3. BERNARD AIZ [IV] d'Albret (-24 Dec 1280). The testament of "el noble bar n’Amaniu de Labrit, filh de n’Amaniu de Labrid et de n’Assaride de Tartas" is dated 25 Jul 1262, appoints "Bernadeids mon filh" as his heir, and names "Assaride ma filhe…de la avantdite na Matha ma moilher"[62]. Seigneur d'Albret. The testament of “Bernardet d’Albret”, dated “du lundy avant Noel” 1280, appointed “Malthe sa première fille” as his heir if he had no male heirs[63]. Père Anselme provides more details of the testament, stating that Bernard Aiz appointed his older daughter Mathe as his heir with his (unnamed) younger daughter as substitute, leaving the two under the guardianship of his mother Mathe[64]. m as her first husband, JEANNE de Lusignan, daughter of HUGUES [XIII] Comte de la Marche et d'Angoulême, Seigneur de Lusignan & his wife Jeanne de Fougères ([1260/65]-before 18 Apr 1323, bur Abbaye de Valence). Her birth date is estimated in light of the birth dates of her older siblings shown above and because she was recorded in her first husband’s testament in Dec 1280 as having two children. The primary source which confirms her first marriage has not yet been identified, although she is named “dominam Johannam de la Marcha matrem meam” in the testament of her daughter Isabelle (see below)[65]. She married secondly Pierre de Joinville [Genville], of Ludlow Shropshire and Walterstone co Hereford. The Chronicle of Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire records that "Petro de Genyvile" married "Johannam filiam --- comitis Marchiæ"[66]. She and her sister Isabelle, as joint heiresses of the county of la Marche, agreed May 1309 to transfer the county to Philippe IV "le Bel" King of France, when it was united with the royal domains. Philippe IV King of France granted "castra…de Choec et de Payrac" to "Johanne de Marchia, sorori germane Guidonis quondam comitis Marchie et Engolisme", by reason of the rights she had “in successione dicti Guidonis necnon Guidonis de Marchia patrui ipsius Johanne”, by charter dated Aug 1310[67].

Mariæ Auxis in sepultura sororis meæ quondam”, appoints “Rotgerium de Armaniaco sororium meum” as her heir “in castris de Casa-nova, de Lebreto” and names “domino Bernardo comiti Armaniaci et Fesenciaci marito meo...Gastoni vicecomiti Fesensaquelli...sororiis meis”[69]. m as his first wife, BERNARD [VI] Comte d'Armagnac, son of GERAUD [VI] Comte d'Armagnac & his wife Mathe de Béarn (-1319, bur Auch Sainte-Marie). 4. ASSALIDE d'Albret (before 25 Jul 1262-after 5 Jan 1286).

Her parentage and second marriage are confirmed by the testament of "messire Gérard de Bourg", which is dated 1282 and appoints "Rousse sa fille" as her heir, the record of the document adding that "despuis, feust maryée au seigneur d’Albret"[84]. Rose’s testament dated 14 Nov 1287 appointed “son fils unique Ayquelm-Guilhem” as her heir[85]. Rose’s testament dated 16 Feb 1297 (O.S.) named her son by her first marriage and “Amanieu, Bernadetz, Arnaud-Amanieu et Jeanne d’Albret” children by her second marriage[86]. The testament of "dame Rouze de Bourg dame d’Albret" is dated 6 Jun 1326 and appoints "Bernardetz son premier fils seigneur d’Albret" as her heir, and bequeathes "la seigneurie de Cubsac" to "Eyquem Guilhaume seigneur de Lesparre, fils de son premier mary", "la seigneurie de Verteuil" to "messire Guitard d’Albret son fils d’autre marriage" and "les seigneuries de Vayres et de Marcaulx" to "messire Berard d’Albret aussy son fils"[87].

Rose’s testament dated 16 Feb 1297 (O.S.) named her son by her first marriage and “Amanieu, Bernadetz, Arnaud-Amanieu et Jeanne d’Albret” children by her second marriage[88]. Père Anselme says that Amanieu died before his father “après l’an 1309”, but cites no source which confirms this information[89]. 2. BERNARD AIZ [V] (-1358 or after). Rose’s testament dated 16 Feb 1297 (O.S.) named her son by her first marriage and “Amanieu, Bernadetz, Arnaud-Amanieu et Jeanne d’Albret” children by her second marriage[90]. "Messire Amanieu sire d’Albret" emancipated "son filz Bérard" 8 Jan 1318[91]. Seigneur d’Albret.

The testament of "domini Johannis comitis Armaniaci", dated 18 Feb 1347, names as his heirs, in turn, "…dominam Matham de Armaniaco sororem nostrum, uxorem domini de Lebreto…dominum Amaneum de Lebreto militem filium suum primogenitum…dominum Bernardum Ezii de Lebreto militem, filium dictæ sororis nostræ secundo genitum…Johannes de Lebreto filium dictæ sororis nostræ tertio genitum…"[101]. He is not named in his father’s 1358 testament which suggests that he died before that date. On the hand, Père Anselme records that Jean, son of Bernard Aiz [V], made a treaty in 1368 with Charles V King of France against the English king (no citation reference)[102]. e) BERARD d’Albret (-after 6 Sep 1392).

The marriage contract of "Berard d’Albret, fils de Bernard Ezii" and "Helaine de Caumont, fille d’Alexandre de Caumont" is dated 1357, with the consent of "dame Margueritte, sœur dudict de Caumont", recording that "le lieu de Saincte Bazeilhe, de Landerron et de Puch" were her dowry[105]. The marriage contract between “Bérard d’Albret” and “Hélene de Caumont” is dated 26 Oct 1357 and records that “Isabeau de Caumont sa sœur” donated “les Sgries de Sainte-Bazeille Landeron et de Puchs” to the couple[106]. Bérard & his wife had [two] children: i) [GERALDE d’Albret (-after 17 Aug 1397). Letters dated 12 Aug 1372 acknowledge the dowry debt from "Mathe d’Armagnac, dame d’Albret et Bérard d’Albret son fils" relating to the marriage of "Bertrand de Lamotte" and "Géralde d’Albret"[107]. The reference to Bérard being jointly responsible for Géralde’s dowry suggests that he may have been her father. If that is correct, Géralde could not have been more than 13/14 years old at the time of her marriage, considering the date of Bérard’s marriage, in which case she was probably one of her parents’ older children. As noted below, Père Anselme names her as daughter of Bernard-Aiz [V] Seigneur d’Albret, although the marriage of one of his daughters in 1372 seems later considering the date of his own second marriage in 1321. The testament of "Guirotte d’Albret, femme à Bertrand de Lamothe seigneur de Bruch", dated 17 Aug 1397, names "Jehan, Bertrand, Gailhardet, Pès, Marye, de la Mothe, ses enfans" as her heirs[108]. m ([12 Aug 1372]) BERTRAND de la Mothe Seigneur de Bruch, son of ---.] ii) FRANÇOIS d’Albret (-[21 Mar 1440/31 May 1445]).

Seigneur de Sainte-Bazeille. The testament of "messire Françoys d’Albret seigneur de Saincte Bazeilhe", dated 3 Jn 1427 (O.S.), names "Charles sire d’Albret" as his heir[110]. m (contract 21 May 1405) JEANNE de Roucy, daughter of HUGUES Comte de Braine et de Roucy & his wife Blanche de Coucy Dame de Montmirail (-after 31 May 1445). The marriage contract of "François d’Albret seigneur de Saincte Bazeilhe" and "damoyselle Jehanne de Roucy" is dated 21 May 1405[111]. A charter dated 1445 records the agreement between "messire Charles sire d’Albret" and "dame Jehanne de Roucy" concerning the succession of "Françoys d’Albret seigneur de Saincte Bazeilhe"[112]. f) GERARD d’Albret (-after 13 Apr 1365).

The testament of "messire Bernardetz sire d’Albret, filz d’Amanieu sire d’Albret et de dame Rouse de Bourg", dated 1358, names "son quatriesme filz feust evesque d’Acqz"[115]. h) ROSE d’Albret (before Mar 1341-). The marriage contract of "madame Rousse d’Albret" and "messire Jehan captalz de Buchz" is dated Nov 1350 and confirms payment of her dowry by "monsieur Bernard Ezii son père"[116]. The receipt for payment of the dowry of "Rouse d’Albret, femme de Jehan de Grelly captal de Buchz" is dated 12 Feb 1359[117]. m (contract Nov 1350) JEAN [III] de Grailly Captal de Buch, son of JEAN [II] de Grailly Captal de Buch & his wife Blanche de Foix (-1369). i) [SOUVERAINE d’Albret . Père Anselme names “Souveraine d’Albret” as a daughter of Bernard-Aiz [V] Seigneur d’Albret and names her husband “Jean de Pommiers seigneur de Lescun”, without citing any primary source on which he bases this information[118]. m JEAN de Pommiers Seigneur de Lescun, son of ---.] j) [MARGUERITE d’Albret . Père Anselme names “Marguerite et Cise d’Albret, religieuses de l’ordre de Sainte Claire” as daughters of Bernard-Aiz [V] Seigneur d’Albret, without citing any primary source on which he bases this information[119].] k) [CISE d’Albret . Père Anselme names “Marguerite et Cise d’Albret, religieuses de l’ordre de Sainte Claire” as daughters of Bernard-Aiz [V] Seigneur d’Albret, without citing any primary source on which he bases this information[120].] l) [GERALDE d’Albret . Père Anselme names “Geraude d’Albret” as a daughter of Bernard-Aiz [V] Seigneur d’Albret and records her marriage in 1372 to “Bertrand seigneur de la Mothe”, without citing any primary sources on which this information is based[121]. The marriage of one of Bernard-Aiz’s daughters in 1372 seems later considering the date of his own second marriage in 1321. As noted above, the chronology appears to favour Géralde being the daughter of Bérard d’Albret who, in addition, is recorded in the marriage contract dated 12 Aug 1372 as jointly owing the dowry debt. m ([12 Aug 1372]) BERTRAND Seigneur de la Mothe, son of ---.] 3. ARNAUD-AMANIEU (-after 16 Feb 1298, maybe after 1346). Rose’s testament dated 16 Feb 1297 (O.S.) named her son by her first marriage and “Amanieu, Bernadetz, Arnaud-Amanieu et Jeanne d’Albret” children by her second marriage[122]. Père Anselme says that “Arnaud d’Amanieu”, son of Amanieu [VIII] Seigneur d’Albret, was living in 1346 but cites no source which confirms this information[123]. [m ---. The name of Arnaud-Amanieu’s wife is not known.] Arnaud-Amanieu & his wife had [one child]: a) [AMANIEU d’Albret . Père Anselme says that “Arnaud d’Amanieu”, son of Amanieu [VIII] Seigneur d’Albret, was father of “Amanieu d’Albret vicomte de Tartas par don de Mathe d’Albret sa tante”, adding that he bequeathed “le vicomté de Tartas” to “Guitard d’Albret son oncle” and died childless[124]. Anselme cites no sources which confirm this information.] 4. JEANNE d’Albret (-[20 Oct 1357/29 Jan 1358], bur Castel-Jaloux). Rose’s testament dated 16 Feb 1297 (O.S.) named her son by her first marriage and “Amanieu, Bernadetz, Arnaud-Amanieu et Jeanne d’Albret” children by her second marriage[125]. “Rose du Bourg femme d’Amanjeu d’Albret” granted her share of property to “Jne d’Albret leur fille” by charter dated 24 Jan 1319 (O.S.)[126]. The marriage contract of “Amaneus dominus de Lebreto miles..Johannam filiam...dicti domini Amanei emancipatam...et domina Roza de Burgo uxor dicti domini Amaneui et mater dicte domicelle” and “Reginaldus de Ponte miles dominus Ribayriaci et vicecomitatus Turenne” is dated 26 Jan 1319 (O.S.)[127]. The date of her marriage is late if the wife of Renaud de Pons was the same daughter who was named 16 Feb 1297. It is possible that the daughter named on that date died and that Renaud’s wife was another daughter also named Jeanne who was born later. The testament of “Reginaldus de Ponte miles vicecomes Carlatensis et dominus Ribariaci”, dated 27 Dec 1332, referred to the dower agreement with “Johanne de Lebreto...uxoris et consortis mee...castrum meum et...castellaniam de Monteforti”[128]. The testament of “Regnaut de Pons chevalier l’ainszné seigneur de Riberac”, dated 15 Nov 1351, confirmed the dower of “Jehenne sa femme”[129]. The testament of “Johanna de Lebreto domina de Ponte...tutorio...Reginaldi de Ponte nepotis nostri”, dated 20 Oct 1357, chose burial “in Castro Gelosio, penes fratres minores eiusdem loci”, named “Reginaldum de Ponte nepotem meum inpuberem...filiumque Reginaldi de Pontis militem filium nostrum condam deffunctum” as her heir, appointed as executors “fratrem nostrum dominum de Lebreto, dominum Fulconem de Mastaco dominum de Royano nepotem nostrum...”[130].

MATHE (-after 30 Aug 1338). Her omission from her mother’s testament dated 16 Feb 1297 (O.S.) suggests that she was unborn at that time, although if that is correct Mathe would have been a child at the date of her first marriage. The marriage contract between “Malhe première fille d’Amanjeu d’Albret” and “Arnaud Ramond d’Ax Vte de Tartas” is dated 5 Jan 1308 (O.S.)[131].

GUITARD (after [1297/98]-after 1338, maybe after 1350). His omission from his mother’s testament dated 16 Feb 1297 (O.S.) suggests that he and the other children named below were unborn at that time. "Bérard et Guitard frères" received various baronies from "Bernard Ezii leur frère aisné, sire d’Albret" 8 Apr 1321[134]. The testament of "dame Rouze de Bourg dame d’Albret" is dated 6 Jun 1326 and bequeathes "la seigneurie de Verteuil" to "messire Guitard d’Albret son fils d’autre marriage" and "les seigneuries de Vayres et de Marcaulx" to "messire Berard d’Albret aussy son fils"[135]. Père Anselme says that Guitard was “vicomte de Tartas par le don que lui en fit Amanieu d’Albret son neveu” (see above)[136]. Europäische Stammtafeln says that his testament was dated 1338[137]. This testament is not included in Dubois’s listing of Albret charters. Père Anselme says that Guitard was living in 1350 but does not cite the source on which this information is based[138]. m firstly (contract 21 May 1321) MASCAROSE de Fezenzaguet, daughter of GASTON d’Armagnac Vicomte de Fezensaguet & his first wife Valpurge de Rodez.

The primary sources on which this information is based have not been identified. Guitard had one illegitimate child by an unknown mistress: a) BERTRAND d’Albret (-after 8 Aug 1365). Père Anselme records that “Bertrand d’Albret, fils naturel de Guitard d’Albret” was “seigneur de Malemort et de Brier” and was owed money by Louis II Duc de Bourbon according to accounts dated 8 Aug 1365[141]. 7. BERARD (-1346). "Bérard et Guitard frères" received various baronies from "Bernard Ezii leur frère aisné, sire d’Albret" 8 Apr 1321[142].

Père Anselme names “Talasie d’Albret” as a daughter of Bernard-Aiz [V] Seigneur d’Albret [incorrect in light of the sources quoted above] and records her testament dated 1410 under which she appointed “François d’Albret son neveu” [her first cousin] as her heir[167]. m (contract 15 Mar 1363) BARTHELEMY de Pins, son of --- (-1294 or after). g) MARGUERITE d’Albret . Père Anselme names Marguerite as youngest daughter of Bérard d’Albret and her husband “Raimond de Montaut seigneur de Mucidan et de Blaye”, without citing any source which confirms the information[168]. “Ramond de Montaud seigneur de Mussidan” acknowledged receiving part of the dowry of “sa femme Marguerite d’Albret sœur de Bérard” from “Bérard d’Albret seigneur de Vayres”, dated 8 Oct 1365[169]. m (before 8 Oct 1365) RAYMOND de Montaut Seigneur de Mussidan et de Blaye, son of ---. 8. ASSALIDE . The marriage contract of "Assalide d’Albret, fille de messire Amanieu sire d’Albret" and "le visconte de Fronsac" is dated 11 Aug 1323[170]. A charter dated 10 Aug 1324 confirms that "la dite dame Assalide d’Albret" received her dowry from "messire Amanieu son père et…dame Isabeau de Gironde sa mère"[171]. Presumably the reference to her mother "Isabeau de Gironde" is an error, as Rose de Bourg, wife of Amanieu [VII] Seigneur d’Albret survived her husband as shown by her testament referred to above. m (contract 11 Aug 1323) --- Vicomte de Fronsac, son of ---. 9. [THOMASSE d’Albret . Père Anselme names “Thomasse d’Albret” as a daughter of Amanieu [VII] Seigneur d’Albret, adding that “après l’an 1314” she married as his second wife “Guillaume Maingot VIII du nom seigneur de Surgeres et de Dampierre”, by whom she had “entr’autres enfans Guillaume Maingot seigneur de Surgeres et de Dampierre mort sans posterité et Jeanne Maingot qui porta par son mariage les seigneuries de Surgeres et de Dampierre à Aymar de Clermont seigneur d’Hauterive”[172].

[MARGUERITE d’Albret . Père Anselme names “Marguerite d’Albret, dont l’alliance n’est pas connue” as a daughter of Amanieu [VII] Seigneur d’Albret, without citing any source on which this information is based[173]. She is not named in Europäische Stammtafeln, which names a daughter “Marquèze” born [Aug 1308/Aug 1309] and died before 1319[174]. No primary source has been found which corroborates any of this information.] 11. [ROSINE d’Albret . Père Anselme names “Rosine d’Albret” as a daughter of Amanieu [VII] Seigneur d’Albret, adding that she married “Arnaud de Veze, vicomte de Carmain, seigneur de Negrepelisse, de S. Felix” (and naming his parents as shown below)[175].

ARNAUD AMANIEU [VIII] d’Albret, son of BERNARD AIZ [V] Seigneur d’Albret & his second wife Mathe d’Armagnac (-1401). The testament of "domini Johannis comitis Armaniaci", dated 18 Feb 1347, names as his heirs, in turn, "…dominam Matham de Armaniaco sororem nostrum, uxorem domini de Lebreto…dominum Amaneum de Lebreto militem filium suum primogenitum…dominum Bernardum Ezii de Lebreto militem, filium dictæ sororis nostræ secundo genitum…Johannes de Lebreto filium dictæ sororis nostræ tertio genitum…"[176]. Vicomte de Tartas. The testament of "messire Bernardetz sire d’Albret, filz d’Amanieu sire d’Albret et de dame Rouse de Bourg", dated 1358, appoints "messire Amanieu son premier filz" as his heir in the Albret estates[177]. Seigneur d’Albret. A treaty between "Karlos…rey de Navarra" and "Arnald Amanieu, seynor [de Labrit] et vizcomte de Tartas" is dated 26 Feb 1365[178]. "Arnaud Amanieu, Bérard et Guiraud d’Albret frères" paid their ransom to "Gaston Cte de Foix" who had imprisoned them by charter dated 13 Apr 1365[179]. A charted dated 8 Sep 1365 records that "seynhor mossen Amaniu, seynor de Labrit, vezconte de Tartas et seyhor de las terres de Micxe et d’Ostabares" took possession of Ostabaret[180]. [Betrothed ([1340]) to MARGARET of Kent, daughter of EDMUND Earl of Kent & his wife Margaret Baroness Wake ([1327]-[before 1 May 1351]). King Edward III appointed representatives to negotiate the marriage between “Bernardetto domino de la Breto...Amaneum primogenitum dicti Bernardetti” and “Margaretam filiam claræ memoriæ Edmundi comitis Kantiæ avunculi nostri” by charter dated 4 Apr 1340[181]. No document has been located which indicates that these negotiations culminated in a betrothal. Margaret presumably died before Arnaud Amanieu was betrothed to Isabella, daughter of Edward III King of England.] [Betrothed (contract 1 May 1351) to ISABELLA of England, daughter of EDWARD III King of England & his wife Philippa de Hainaut (Woodstock Palace, Oxfordshire 16 Feb or [Mar] or 16 Jun [1332 or 1334]-[15 Mar/4 May] 1379 or [17 Jun/5 Oct] 1382, bur Greyfriars Church, Newgate, London). The contract for the marriage between “Rex...Isabellam primogenitam nostram” and “Bernardo Ezii domino de Lebreto...Bernardi Ezii filii senioris et hæredis dicti domini de Lebreto” is dated 1 May 1351[182]. It is unlikely that the name of the future bridegroom in this document can be correct. The testament of "domini Johannis comitis Armaniaci", dated 18 Feb 1347, names, as shown above, Bernard Aiz as second son of Bernard Aiz [V] Seigneur d’Albret and Arnaud Amanieu [VIII] as his oldest son and heir[183]. It appears unlikely that the advisers of King Edward III (who was suzerain of Gascony including the Albret properties) would have been unaware of the identity of the heir to Albret. It is equally unlikely that the king would have agreed the marriage of his oldest daughter to the second son of the sire d’Albret. It is therefore more probable that the future bridegroom was Arnaud Amanieu [VIII] and that there is an error in the name inserted in the charter.] m (contract 3 May 1368) MARGUERITE de Bourbon, daughter of PIERRE I Duc de Bourbon [Capet] & his wife Isabelle de Valois (-after 4 Jan 1416). Ayala’s Crónica de Pedro I records that another daughter “del...Duque de Borbon”, referred to fourth in his list, married “el Señor de Lebret” when recording the negotiations for the marriage of her sister Blanche in 1351[184].

Sgr de la Prague, chambellan du Duc de Bourgogne", in recognition of services “au Sgr de la Trémouille et à elle”, by charter dated 1 Dec 1400, verified 16 Feb 1401[186]. "Charles d’Albret" married “Marie Dame de Sully, vve de Guy Sgr de la Trimouille” by charter dated 29 Jan 1400 (O.S.) which records that she gave him "sa terre de Sully"[187]. Charles [I] & his wife had five children: a) CATHERINE [Jacqueline] d’Albret . The Geste des Nobles records that “messire Jehan de Montagu...son filz” married “la fille de Monsieur Charles sire d’Alebret conte de Dreux et connestable de France”[188].

A contract dated 12 Jun 1411 records a payment made by "Archambaut comte de Foix" to "sire d’Albret Charles" for the marriage of "madame de Grelly fille dudict d’Albret"[191]. This document is presumably misdated, assuming that it is correct that Jean’s first wife died in 1413. The 15th century Chronicle of Esquerrier records the second marriage 23 May 1422 of "Mossen Johan" and "Madona Johana de Labrit"[192]. m (betrothed [12 Jun 1411], 23 May 1422) as his second wife, JEAN Comte de Foix, son of ARCHAMBAUD de Grailly Captal de Buch & his wife Isabelle Ctss de Foix et de Bigorre (1382-Mazères, Ariège 4 May 1436). c) CHARLES [II] (1407-1471).

A charter dated 14 May 1488 records that, despite the marriage contract between “Jean d’Albret sire d’Orval” and “Jean de Bourgogne comte de Nevers...[sa fille] Charlotte de Bourgogne”, the former consented to his wife’s father enjoying “la comté d’Eu...”[199].

Chapter 2. VICOMTES de DAX
A. VICOMTES de DAX
The vicomté of Dax, north of Bayonne, was founded in the 10th century and included within its territory the baronnie de Marensin. It was created a royal town in 1177[239]. The vicomté included the seigneurie de Mixe (which included the baronnies de Luxe, de Gramont, de Bergouey, de Sorhapuru et d’Escos) and the seigneurie d’Ostabaret (including the baronnies d’Ostabat et de Lantabat), which became vassal of the kingdom of Navarre in 1196[240]. It should be emphasised that the reconstructions of the families in this chapter are based mainly on a logical interpretation of the patronymics given in the primary sources. The reconstructions appear reasonably robust, but other interpretations of the information are possible.
ARNAUD [I] Loup, son of --- (-after [Nov 1028]). Vicomte de Dax. "…Wastonis Centulli vicecomitis, Lupi Anerii vicecomitis, Ernaldi Lupi vicecomitis Aquensis" subscribed the charter dated 980 under which Arsius Bishop of Bayonne listed the possessions of the bishopric[241]. "…Anelup de Loron, Lobaner filii eius, Arnaldi Lupi de Aquis…" signed the charter dated 3 Apr [1009] under which "Bernardus Willelmus comes…cum germano meo Sancio" confirmed the foundation of Saint-Sever by "genitor meus Willelmus Sancio comes"[242]. The Historia Abbatiæ Condomensis quotes a charter dated 29 Jul 1011 under which "Ugo…Præsul, secundum lineam carnis eidem Duci propinquis et affinis", with the consent of "…Arnaldo Lupo Vicecomite…", donated property to the convent of Condom[243]. According to Jaurgain, Arnaud Loup Vicomte de Dax was the second son of Aner Loup Vicomte d’Oloron. He cites no primary source and presumably bases his hypothesis solely on the patronymic. However, it is likely that all the persons who consented to the 29 Jul 1011 donation were the close relatives and heirs of the donor. If this is correct, the absence of Aner Loup Vicomte d’Oloron, and other members of his family, would be surprising if he was the older brother of Vicomte Arnaud Loup and would have had greater seniority in the claim to the estate. "…Arnaldo Lupi…" signed the charter dated Nov 1028 under which "Comes Sancio" confirmed the foundation of the monastery of Saint-Sever by "pater meus Willelmus Sancio"[244], although it is not known whether the subscriber was the same person as Arnaud [I] Loup Vicomte de Dax. m ---. The name of Arnaud’s wife is not known. Arnaud [I] & his wife had [two] children: 1. ARNAUD [II] "Fortis" (-after [1050]). Vicomte de Dax. "…Arnaldus vicecomes Aquensis…" is named as present in the charter dated to [1022] under which "Sancius…totius Gasconniæ princeps et dux" founded the monastery of St Hilaire-de-Lassun, later known as St Pé-de-Générès[245]. An undated charter records the donation by "Santius…comes" to Bordeaux Saint-Seurin and the confirmation after his death by his successor "eius nepos…Odo", signed by "Centullus de Bearnt, Arnaldus Aquensis, Willelmus Lup, Aichelmus Guillelmi, Andro Auriohl"[246]. "Arnaldus Fortis vicecomes Aquensis" donated property to Dax by charter dated to [1052/57][247]. According to Jaurgain, Arnaud [II] Vicomte de Dax was at war with Centule [IV] Gaston Vicomte de Béarn, and one of the former’s vassals, Garcia Guillaume de Salies, offered to betray and kill his suzerain, dated to [1050][248]. He cites no primary source on which his statement is based, except the cartulaire de Lescar which records that Centule [IV] seized the village of Caresse and granted it to Garcia Guillaume de Salies[249]. m ---. The name of Arnaud's wife is not known. Arnaud [II] & his wife had three children: a) RAYMOND Arnaud [I] (-after 3 Dec 1088). Vicomte de Dax. Jaurgain states that Garcia Arnaud, second son of Arnaud [I], expelled his nephew Raymond Arnaud from the viscomté de Dax in [1058/59], Raymond Arnaud retaking possession after his uncle died in [1065][250]. "Raimundus Arnaldi vicecomes Aquensis" donated property to Dax by charter dated to after 1070[251]. "Raymond Arnaud vicomte de Dax et Arnaud Garcia seigneur de Mixe" acted as guarantors for the adverseraries of Bernard Bishop of Lescar in the affair of the church of Carresse, in the presence of "Garcia Marre d’Orthe", by charter dated 1072[252]. "Raimundo Arnaldi vicecomite Aquensi, Bornemo Sancio vicecomite Maritimensi, Lupo Garsia vicecomite Aortensi atque fratre eius Wilelmo Garcia de Polione, Raimundo Robberto vicecomite Tartasensi" are named as present at an assembly at Saint-Pierre de la Réole held to settle a dispute between the bishops of Dax and Oloron, dated to [1082][253]. "…vicecomitis R. Aquis…" witnessed a charter dated 3 Dec 1088 under which property was restored to Saint-Seurin de Bordeaux[254]. m ---. The name of Raymond Arnaud's wife is not known. Raymond Arnaud [I] & his wife had two children: i) NAVAR (-killed in battle [1090] or after). His parentage is confirmed by the cartulary of Dax which records that "Navarro filio eius" succeeded on the death of "Raimundo Arnaldo vicecomite Aquensi", that war broke out with Centule [V] Gaston Vicomte de Béarn over the latter’s relative Arnaud Raymond archdeacon of Dax who Vicomte Navarre had captured, and that Navar was killed in battle[255]. Vicomte de Dax. "Vicecomes Navarrus et Navarra soror illius" donated property to Dax for the killing of "sui consobrini…Garsie Marre" by charter dated to [1080/90][256]. A charter dated to [1105/1118] records the history of property donated to the abbey of Saint-Jean de Sorde, dating one event by reference to "mortuus erat vicecomes Aquensis…Navar"[257]. ii) NAVARE (-after [1080/90]). "Vicecomes Navarrus et Navarra soror illius" donated property to Dax for the killing of "sui consobrini…Garsie Marre" by charter dated to [1080/90][258]. b) GARCIA Arnaud (-after [1060]).

Raymond Arnaud vicomte de Dax "[et] Odonem Uriensem et Garsia Arnaldi fratre eorum" were present at the removal of the cathedral of Saint-Vincent de Sentes to Dax, dated to [1056][260]. Seigneur d’Œyre, viguier de Dax. 2. GARCIA Arnaud (-[1065]). Vicomte de Dax. Jaurgain states that Garcia Arnaud, second son of Arnaud [I], expelled his nephew Raymond Arnaud from the vicomté de Dax in [1058/59] and held the title until his death[261]. "B. Tumpaler comes Gasconiæ et vicecomes Aquensis Garsie Arnaud, et Od Guilem vicarius de Salies" donated property to the church of Sainte-Marie de Lescar by charter dated to [end 1061][262]. - SEIGNEURS de MIXE et d’OSTABARET.

"Garsias Marre consanguineus Navarri vicecomitis Aquensis" donated property to Dax for having killed "consanguineum suum Arnaldum Bernaldum" by undated charter[263].
1. ARNAUD [III] . According to Jaurgain, "Arnaud [III] Raymond" father of Pierre Arnaud was the second son of Raymond [I] Arnaud Vicomte de Dax and succeeded his brother Navarre briefly as Vicomte de Dax[264]. He cites no primary source on which this is based, and gives the impression that the patronymic "Raymond" is attributed to him only because this fits with the hypothesis. It appears that there is no proof of his existence other than the patronymic given to his son. m ---. The name of Arnaud’s wife is not known. Arnaud [III] & his wife had three children: a) PIERRE [I] Arnaud (-[1140/42]). Vicomte de Dax. Jaurgain records that Pierre Arnaud, and his relative Daton-Arnaud Seigneur de Mixe et d’Ostabaret, killed archdeacon Arnaud-Raymond in revenge for the killing Navarre Vicomte de Dax, and that Gaston [IV] Vicomte de Béarn invaded and conquered the vicomté, holding it until after 1102[265]. A charter dated to [1105/1119] records the history of property donated to the abbey of Saint-Jean de Sorde, naming "vicecomite Petro Arnalt"[266]. "Petrus de Ax…vicecomes Aquensis" donated property to Dax under his testament, the donation being annulled by "Guirelda soror eius" who was his heiress, as recounted in a charter dated to before 1143[267]. The cartulaire de Dax records that "Petrus de Ax…vicecomes Aquensis" was killed in battle defending his viscomté against Pierre de Gabarret Vicomte de Béarn[268]. b) GRISET . Knight Templar. "Dompnus Grisetus patruus eius Templi Hierosolymitani frater" challenged the succession of "filius eius [Guirelda] Raimundus Arnaldi" to Dax, as recounted in a charter dated to before 1143[269]. c) GUIRELDA .

B. SEIGNEURS de MIXE et d’OSTABARET
GARCIA Arnaud, son of ARNAUD [I] Loup Vicomte de Dax & his wife --- (-[1065]). Vicomte de Dax. Jaurgain states that Garcia Arnaud, second son of Arnaud [I], expelled his nephew Raymond Arnaud from the viscomté de Dax in [1058/59] and held the title until his death[271]. "B. Tumpaler comes Gasconiæ et vicecomes Aquensis Garsie Arnaud, et Od Guilem vicarius de Salies" donated property to the church of Sainte-Marie de Lescar by charter dated to [end 1061][272]. A charter dated to after Aug 1062 records that, after "Guido Pictavensis…habuit Gasconiam", he sent "Gassiarnaldum vicecomitem Aquis" to hear a dispute involving Raymond "le Vieux" Bishop of Lescar[273]. "Garsiearnaldus de Ax…et filius eius Leofrancus post eum" declared war on Centule [V] Vicomte de Béarn after the death of Raymond "le Vieux" Bishop of Lescar and captured Muret whose church had been built by the bishop, recorded in a charter dated to [1062][274]. "Garcias Arnaldus vicecomes Aquensis et uxor mea Auria" donated property to Saint-Sever by undated charter[275]. Raymond Arnaud retook possession of the vicomté after the death of Garcia Arnaud[276]. m AURIA, daughter of --- (-29 Jan, after [1065]). "Garcias Arnaldus vicecomes Aquensis et uxor mea Auria" donated property to Saint-Sever by undated charter[277]. "Auria…vicecomitissa" donated property to Saint-Sever by charter dated to after [1065][278]. The necrology of Saint-Sever records the death "IV Kal Feb" of "Auria vicecomitissa, conversa"[279]. Garcia Arnaud & his wife had three children: 1. ARNAUD Garcia (-after 1072). Seigneur de Mixe et d’Ostabaret. "Raymond Arnaud vicomte de Dax et Arnaud Garcia seigneur de Mixe" acted as guarantors for the adverseraries of Bernard Bishop of Lescar in the affair of the church of Carresse, in the presence of "Garcia Marre d’Orthe", by charter dated 1072[280]. m ---. The name of Arnaud’s wife is not known. Arnaud Garcia & his wife had [two] children: a) DAT Arnaud (-[after 1090]). Jaurgain records that Pierre Arnaud, and his relative Daton-Arnaud Seigneur de Mixe et d’Ostabaret, killed archdeacon Arnaud-Raymond in revenge for the killing Navarre Vicomte de Dax, and that Gaston [IV] Vicomte de Béarn invaded and conquered the vicomté, holding it until after 1102[281]. m GALARDE, daughter of ---. A charter dated to [1105/18] recounts that "Gilem Arramon miles dominus de Besla-Campia" appointed "consobrinum Dat Arnalt de Amixa" guardian of his children "Garsia Gilem et Fort Gilem et Arremon Gilem et Bernad Gilem…omnes…parvuli", that Dat Arnaud seized the village, and that, after the death of "vicecomes Aquensis…Navar", "uxor Dat Arnalt, Gualarde…et Arremon Dat filium suum" were obliged to restore the property to the sole surviving brother "Bernard Gilem"[282]. Dat Arnaud & his wife had [two] children: i) RAYMOND Dat de Mixe (-1119). A charter dated to [1105/18] recounts that "uxor Dat Arnalt, Gualarde…et Arremon Dat filium suum" were obliged to restore property to "Bernard Gilem"[283]. ii) [ARNAUD [Dat] de Mixe (-[1140]). Jaurgain states that Arnaud was the son of Dat Arnaud Seigneur de Mixe and that he was father of the later vicomtes de Dax[284]. However, he cites no primary source which confirms either Arnaud’s parentage or his marriage. Nor is it clear whether the patronymic "Dat" is accorded to him by Jaurgain because it fits his hypothesis or whether there is a primary source, not yet identified, which confirms that it is correct.] b) [GARCIA Arnaud (-after 1080). Jaurgain records a manuscript genealogy written by Oïhenart (early 17th century) which records Garcia Arnaud, younger son of Arnaud Garcia, as living in 1080 "d’après les documents qu’il avait recueillis" but comments that "on y rencontre quelques erreurs de filiation"[285]. Jaurgain does not cite any of the sources on which this genealogy is based, and it is likely that no new information will be found in other sources to confirm the relationship if Jaurgain himself was not able to find any. The difficulty with accepting Oïhenart at face value is the weakness of 17th century French aristocrats for "proving" their descent from the Merovingian monarchs, as demonstrated by the fabricated Alarcon documents which are discussed in the Introduction to the Gascony group of documents. Jaurgain’s books suggest that Oïhenart was a competent historian: where it has been possible to check the sources he cites against published cartularies and chronicles, no discrepancies have been observed. It is also clear that many sources which were available in the early 17th century have since disappeared. Nevertheless, doubt must remain and it is considered prudent to show "Garcia Arnaud" in square brackets in this document.] - SEIGNEURS de LUXE[286]. 2. [BERGON [Garcia] . Jaurgain records "Bergon I Garcia seigneur de Gramont" as second son of Garcia Arnaud Vicomte de Dax, referring to the history of the Gramont family written in 1874[287]. Jaurgain is scathing about the accuracy of this 1874 history, noting that it shows Garcia Arnaud as "seigneur d’Agramont en Aragon vers l’an 900", father of "Arnaud I seigneur d’Agramont…ricombre de Navarre en 905", who was in turn father of "Bergon seigneur d’Agramont ricombre de Navarre en 950, père de Garcia-Bergon, aussi ricombre de Navarre, mort en 1100". He cites no other source which confirms Bergon Garcia’s parentage. A charter dated to [1105/19] records that "Bergon Garsias, Bernardus monachus frater Bergon Garsias" donated property which "pater suus Garsia Bergon" granted him, and naming other family members[288]. This would appear to refer to the son and grandsons of this Bergon [Garcia]. The patronymic "[Garcia]" is shown in this document in square brackets as, once again, it is not clear whether it is confirmed by a primary source or whether it was added by Jaurgain because it fitted his hypothesis. Similar doubts regarding the descent of the Gramont family must exist as are referred to above in respect of the Luxe family.] - SEIGNEURS de GRAMONT[289]. 3. [LEOFRANC (-[1095] or after). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified, but his possession of Muret suggests that he was the son of Garcia Arnaud. "Leofrancus", suffering from leprosy, restored the castle of Muret to the bishop of Lescar by charter dated to [1095][290].]
C. VICOMTES de DAX (SEIGNEURS de MIXE et d’OSTABARET)
ARNAUD [Dat] [de Mixe], son of [DAT Arnaud --- & his wife Galarde ---] (-[1140]). Jaurgain states that Arnaud was the son of Dat Arnaud Seigneur de Mixe and that he was father of the later vicomtes de Dax[291]. However, he cites no primary source which confirms either Arnaud’s parentage or his marriage. Nor is it clear whether the patronymic "Dat" is accorded to him by Jaurgain because it fits his hypothesis or whether there is a primary source, not yet identified, which confirms that it is correct. m ([1095]) GUIRELDA de Dax, daughter of ARNAUD [III] de Dax & his wife ---. "Petrus de Ax…vicecomes Aquensis" donated property to Dax under his testament, the donation being annulled by "Guirelda soror eius" who was his heiress, as recounted in a charter dated to before 1143[292]. The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified. Arnaud & his wife had one child: 1. RAYMOND ARNAUD [II] (-[1167]). "Guirelda soror eius [Petrus de Ax…vicecomes Aquensis]" was succeeded in Dax by "filius eius Raimundus Arnaldi", as recounted in a charter dated to before 1143[293]. Vicomte de Dax. "Raimundus Arnaldi vicecomes Aquensis" donated property to Dax by charter dated to before 1143[294]. m ([1130]) as her second husband, ESTEFANIA [de Barcelona, widow of CENTULE [II] Comte de Bigorre, daughter of RAMON BERENGUER [III] Comte de Barcelona & his third wife Dulce Ctss de Provence] ([1118]-). The primary source which confirms her parentage and two marriages has not yet been identified. She is not named as one of the daughters of Comte Ramon Berenguer [III] by Bofarull[295]. Raymond Arnaud [II] & his wife had two children: a) PIERRE [II] (-[1177/80]). "Petrus vicecomes Aquensis" donated property to Dax "mortuo Raimundo Arnaldi patre suo" by charter dated to [1167/77][296]. Vicomte de Dax. Roger of Hoveden records that "Ricardus…comes Pictavie" (the future Richard I King of England) besieged Dax "post Natale" in 1177 and that "Petrus vicecomes Akensis et comes Bigorniæ" capitulated after ten days[297]. m [as her first husband, BEATRIX [III] Ctss de Bigorre, daughter of CENTULE [III] Comte de Bigorre & his wife Matelle de Baux (-after 1192). Her supposed first marriage is deduced from Roger of Hoveden who names her supposed husband "Petrus vicecomes Akensis et comes Bigorniæ" when recording the capitulation of the town of Dax in 1177[298]. The primary source which confirms her second marriage has not yet been identified. She married secondly (1180, divorced after 1192) as his first wife, Bernard [IV] Comte de Comminges. Pierre [II] & his wife had one child: i) NAVARRA de Dax . The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. m ARNAUD RAYMOND Vicomte de Tartas, son of ---. b) NAVAR (-1215). Canon of Dax. Bishop of Couserans. Abbé de Combelongue[299].
Chapter 3. VICOMTES de LABOURD, VICOMTES de BAYONNE
The vicomté of Labourd was created by Sancho III "el Mayor" King of Navarre in [1023] in the south-west part of Gascony adjacent to the kingdom of Navarre. Labourd reverted to the dukes of Gascony in [1034][300]. The vicomté of Arberoue was formed in part of the vicomté of Labourd in the later 11th century[301]. The vicomté of Labourd was more commonly referred to in primary sources as the vicomté of Bayonne from the mid-12th century.
Two brothers: 1. LOPE Sánchez (-[1058/60]). According to Jaurgain, Lope Sánchez was the son of Sancho Ramírez de Navarra, grandson of García III King of Navarre (see NAVARRE KINGS)[302]. However, it is not clear that this parentage is confirmed by the primary sources which he cites. The difficulty is that there were at least three different Navarrese noblemen named Lope Sánchez in the first half of the 11th century (see NAVARRE NOBILITY) and no confirmation has been found that any of them was the son of Sancho Ramírez. Jaurgain also states that Sancho III "le Mayor" King of Navarre invested his cousin, Lope Sánchez son of Sancho Ramírez, as Vicomte de Labourd, the territory of which included the valleys of Arberoue, Ossès, Cize, Irissary, Iholdy et Armendarits, but he does not cite the primary source which confirms that this is correct[303]. A charter dated to [1059/61] records that "vicecomitem ipsius civitatis [=Labourd] Fortunum Santium…fratremque eius Lupum Santium" donated the church of Sainte-Marie de Bayonne to Raymond Bishop of Bayonne, witnessed by "Forto Santius, Anegalinus Lupus Anerius, Santius Fort, Garsianer, Rexmirus"[304]. 2. FORTÚN Sánchez (-1062 or after). A charter dated to [1059/61] records that "vicecomitem ipsius civitatis [=Labourd] Fortunum Santium…fratremque eius Lupum Santium" donated the church of Sainte-Marie de Bayonne to Raymond Bishop of Bayonne, witnessed by "Forto Santius, Anegalinus Lupus Anerius, Santius Fort, Garsianer, Rexmirus"[305]. Vicomte de Labourd. Jaurgain refers to his supposed two marriages and five children[306]. However, his reconstruction appears based mainly on patronymics, the same name/patronymic combinations being repeated too frequently among the Navarrese nobility to make this a reliable basis on which to proceed. m ---. The name of Fortun’s wife is not known. Fortun & his wife had two children: a) FORTUN Sancho (-after 1106). According to Jaurgain, Fortun Sancho was the grandson of Fortún Sánchez, son of Sancho Fortúnez[307]. However, he assumes that the latter is the same person as Sancho Fortúnez Señor de Pontecurbo (see NAVARRE NOBILITY), which is far from certain. As noted above, name/patronymic combinations are repeated so frequently among the Navarrese nobility that it is unsafe to draw conclusions about family relationships solely based on names without other indications. His correct parentage appears to be confirmed by the charter dated 1083 which records various donations to Bayonne in the presence of Guillaume Archbishop of Auch, including the confirmation of the donation of "ecclesiam Sancti Vincentii de Urruina" by "R. Santius…[et] pater meus vicecomes Fortun Sanz"[308], presuming that "R. Santius" was Ramiro Sancho who is named below. Vicomte de Labourd. "Fortin Sancius vicecomes Laburdensis" donated half the town of Bayonne to the church of Bayonne by charter dated to [1106/18], witnessed by "Fort Fortun, Garsie Fortun, Fortun Gassies", the same charter recording another donation by "Forti Santius et Santius Garsias gener meus"[309]. m ---. The name of Fortun’s wife is not known. Fortun & his wife had one child: i) REGINA TOTA . Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by a charter dated to [1106/18] under which "Fortin Sancius vicecomes Laburdensis" donated half the town of Bayonne to the church of Bayonne, the same charter recording another donation by "Forti Santius et Santius Garsias gener meus"[310]. Her name is confirmed in the charter dated to [1136/47] which records a donation of property to the abbey of Saint-Jean de Sorde by "Sancius Garsias vicecomes de Labort et uxor sua Regina Tota" for his victory in battle in Navarre, recording the seizure of the property after their death and after the death of "Garsie Sancii filii sui" and names "Bertrandum qui tunc erat vicecomes de Labort"[311]. m SANCHO Garcia, son of --- (-after 1106). A charter dated to [1136/47] records a donation of property to the abbey of Saint-Jean de Sorde by "Sancius Garsias vicecomes de Labort et uxor sua Regina Tota" for his victory in battle in Navarre, recording the seizure of the property after their death and after the death of "Garsie Sancii filii sui"[312]. Vicomte de Labourd. (a) GARCIA Sancho (-after 1122). A charter dated to [1136/47] records a donation of property to the abbey of Saint-Jean de Sorde by "Sancius Garsias vicecomes de Labort et uxor sua Regina Tota" for his victory in battle in Navarre, recording the seizure of the property after their death and after the death of "Garsie Sancii filii sui"[313]. Vicomte de Labourd. b) RAMIRO Sancho (-after [1085]). A charter dated 1083 records various donations to Bayonne in the presence of Guillaume Archbishop of Auch, including the confirmation of the donation of "ecclesiam Sancti Vincentii de Urruina" by "R. Santius…[et] pater meus vicecomes Fortun Sanz"[314].
1. --- . m URRACA, daughter of ---. "Bertrando, Baionensi vicecomite…cum sua matre Urraca" donated revenue from a newly built bridge to the church of Sainte-Marie de Bayonne by charter dated to [1125][315]. Two probable children: a) BERTRAND (-30 Oct 1169, bur Lahonce). According to Jaurgain, Bertrand was the son of Jimeno Fortun, son of Fortún Sánchez, son of Sancho Fortúnez[316]. However, as noted above, his reconstruction of this family does not appear to be based on a satisfactory analysis of the sources which he quotes. In any case, the names of Bertrand and his family have little in common with those of the previous vicomtes de Labourd. Vicomte de Labourd. Vicomte de Bayonne. "Bertrando, Baionensi vicecomite…cum sua matre Urraca" donated revenue from a newly built bridge to the church of Sainte-Marie de Bayonne by charter dated to [1125], witnessed by "Arnaldus de Salt, Lupus Anerii de Escan, Wilelmus Bernardus de Urruzaga"[317]. "Bertrandus vicecomes de Baiona et uxor eius Ataressa" donated revenue from Ossès to the church of Sainte-Marie de Bayonne by charter dated to [1141/49][318]. The charter dated to [1136/47] which records earlier donations of property to the abbey of Saint-Jean de Sorde names "Bertrandum qui tunc erat vicecomes de Labort"[319]. "Bertrando vicecomite, A. de Salt, W. B. de Urrucega…G. de Zubernie cum filio suo Garsia et cum uxore sua, sorore Arnaldi de Salt" are named as present in a charter dated 1 Jan 1149 which records an agreement between the church of Sainte-Marie de Bayonne and the tenants of Saint-Léon[320]. "B. de Baiona et Wilelmus Bertrandi filius vicecomitis Baionensis…" subscribed the charter dated to [1150/70] under which "Navarra vicecomitissa de Seule et maritus eius Augerius de Miremon" donated property to [his brother] Fortaner de Miramont Bishop of Bayonne[321]. "B. vicecomes Baionensis et filii eius P. Bertrandi, et A. Bertrandi…" acted as guarantors when "Navarrus filius eius" confirmed donations by "Vicecomitissa de Maritima…Condessa", after the death of the latter, of revenue to the citizens of Bayonne[322]. "Bertrando vicecomite Baonensis, Raimundo Rotbert vicecomite Tartassensi, Willelmo R[…]i vicecomite Avortensi" witnessed the charter dated to [1167/77] under which "Petrus vicecomes Aquensis" donated property to Dax "mortuo Raimundo Arnaldi patre suo"[323]. The necrology of Case-Dieu records the death 30 Oct 1169 of Bernard Vicomte de Labourd et d’Arberoue[324]. He was buried at the monastery of Lahonce which he had founded[325]. m firstly TARESIA, daughter of FORTUN Garcia Vicomte d’Arberoue & his wife ---. "Bertrandus vicecomes de Baiona et uxor eius Ataressa" donated revenue from Ossès to the church of Sainte-Marie de Bayonne by charter dated to [1141/49][326]. According to Jaurgain, she was the daughter of Fortun Garcia Vicomte d’Arberoue although he cites no primary source on which this is based[327]. It is possible that her parentage is deduced only because her sons are recorded as vicomtes d’Arberoue. m secondly TODA de Biota Dame d’Orcoyen, daughter of --- (-1175 or after). "Dona Tota de Orquien uxor Bertrandi vicecomitis Baionensis" donated revenue from the mill of Orcoyen to the bishop of Bayonne by undated charter[328]. The bishop of Pamplona donated the town of Arteiza and the palace of Beasoain to "Toda de Biota vicomtesse de Bayonne" for life by charter dated 1175[329]. Bertrand & his first wife had five children: i) PIERRE Bertrand (-[1169/70]). "B. vicecomes Baionensis et filii eius P. Bertrandi, et A. Bertrandi…" acted as guarantors when "Navarrus filius eius" confirmed donations by "Vicecomitissa de Maritima…Condessa", after the death of the latter, of revenue to the citizens of Bayonne[330]. Vicomte de Labourd et d’Arberoue. "Petrus Bernardi vicecomes Baionensis" donated revenue from Bassussary to the church of Sainte-Marie de Bayonne by charter dated to [1150/70] and on his deathbed the whole of the same town[331]. ii) ARNAUD Bertrand (-[1178/93]). "B. vicecomes Baionensis et filii eius P. Bertrandi, et A. Bertrandi…" acted as guarantors when "Navarrus filius eius" confirmed donations by "Vicecomitissa de Maritima…Condessa", after the death of the latter, of revenue to the citizens of Bayonne[332]. Vicomte de Labourd et d’Arberoue. Vicomte Arnaud Bertrand and "Guillaume-Raymond de Sault" subscribed a charter dated 1170 under which Richard, son of Henry II King of England, granted tax exemptions to the inhabitants of Bayonne[333]. Roger of Hoveden records that "Ricardus…comes Pictavie" (the future Richard I King of England) besieged Bayonne in [1177/78] after capturing Dax and that "Ernaldus Bertramus vicecomes Baoniæ" capitulated after ten days[334]. iii) GUILLAUME Bertrand (-25 Apr 1203).

Chapter 4. VICOMTES de MAREMNE
The vicomté of Maremne was located on the Atlantic coast north of Bayonne and is first mentioned in primary sources in the early 11th century. It was acquired by the Albret family in the mid-13th century, although whether this was by inheritance or purchase has not yet been traced. The vicomté of Maremne was confiscated by Henry III King of England and granted to Amanieu [VII] Seigneur d’Albret 15 Apr 1263, who still held it in 1270[345]. Amanieu [VIII] Seigneur d’Albret was vicomte de Maremne in 1320[346]. The outline shown below of the reconstruction of this family follows the ideas of Jaurgain[347]. However, as we will be seen, his hypotheses are open to challenge, and the cartulary of Dax introduces a new element which Jaurgain did not take into account.

Jaurgain states that Aiz Sancho was the seventh son of Sancho Garcia Duke of Gascony, assuming that he was the same person as "Eneci" (=En Eci) who signed the [920] charter, and that he was ancestor of the Vicomtes de Marsan[383]. Jaurgain also identifies Aiz Sancho as "…Vicecomitis Exii…" who subscribed the charter dated 977 under which "Gumboldus episcopus et frater meus Willelmus Sancio dux Vasconum" re-established the monastery of La Réole[384]. It should be noted that another published version of this charter transcribes the subscriber in question as "…Seguini vicecomitis…"[385].

King Henry III summoned vassals to meet "apud Pontem", including "Arnaldus Willielmi de Marsan", dated 25 May 1242[417]. m ---. The name of Arnaud’s wife is not known. Arnaud & his wife had one child: a) CLARMONDE de Marsan (-before 2 Aug 1289). The Complete Peerage states that Piers de Gavaston was “possibly s. of Arnaud de Gavaston (who d. May 1302), a Gascon knight of Béarn, by Clarmonde de Marsan de Louvigny”[418]. Her first marriage is indicated by the petition sent to King Edward II by her supposed son Fortaner, presumed to be born from her first husband (see below). The primary source which confirms the name of her first husband has not been identified. “Dominus Arnaldus de Gavastone” acknowledged holding “castrum de Rupe forti, de Lobinher, de Monte Galardi, de Haxetman...racione uxoris [sue] Clarmonde in Marciano...” from King Edward I, by undated charter dated to the early 1270s[419]. King Edward granted money to “Arnaldum de Gavastone militem”, for the affection shown by “Claremunda dicta domina Marciani, quondam uxor sua” while she lived, for the marriage of his daughter (“ad maritandam filiam suam”), by charter dated 2 Aug 1289[420]. m firstly --- de Lescun, son of ---. m secondly ARNAUD de Gabaston, son of --- (-before 18 May 1302, bur Winchester Cathedral). Clarmonde & her first husband had [one child]: i) [FORTANER de Lescun (-after 1307). Hamilton’s biography of Piers Gaveston names Fortaner de Lescun as the brother of Clarmonde de Marsan[421]. If that is correct, it is unclear why Clarmonde would have inherited considerable properties from her father. Fortaner’s correct parentage is indicated by the undated petition addressed to King Edward II (therefore dated to 1307/27) by “Arnald Guilhem de Marsans et Fortaners de Lescun freres” who requested restoration of arrears from lands “leritage de lour mere”, which had been subject of a disagreement as a result of which “sire Arnand de Gavaston” had put the lands into the hands of King Edward I[422]. The fraternal relationship between the two is only explained if they were born from different fathers, considering the order dated 6 May 1297 which records that “Arnaldus de Gavaston miles” notified King Edward I that “possessio castrorum et terrarum castri de Loubeny, de monte Gayllardi, Sancti Lebedii et de Ffajetmau...heredum communium dicti Arnaldi et Clarmunde domine de Marciano quondam uxoris sue” had fallen unlawfully to “Ffortenarium dominum de Lescune”, when Arnaud was a prisoner of the French, and requested their return to him, which was ordered by the king[423].]
