Chapter 1. COMTES d'AMIENS

A. COMTES d’AMIENS

1. ANGILWIN (-after 30 Mar [850/51]). [Comte d’Amiens]. Angilvin is not accorded the comital title in the document which is quoted below. However, the extent of the donation, and the fact that the property in question had been granted to him directly by the Carolingian monarch, suggests that he may have exercised comital jurisdiction in Amiens. No further information relating to Angilwin has been found apart from this charter. “Angilguinus et conjunx mea Rumildis” donated property, “quas quondam Ludovicus imperator et Karolus rex” had granted them “jure proprietario...in pago Ambianense in villa...Fontanas super fluvio Salam”, and named serfs to Amiens Cathedral “ubi...preest...Helmeradus episcopus” by charter dated 30 Mar [850/51][1]. m RUMILDE, daughter of ---. “Angilguinus et conjunx mea Rumildis” donated property, “quas quondam Ludovicus imperator et Karolus rex” had granted them “jure proprietario...in pago Ambianense in villa...Fontanas super fluvio Salam”, and named serfs to Amiens cathedral by charter dated 30 Mar [850/51][2].

1. GAUTHIER [I] ([before 925]-after 987). Two possible parentages of Gauthier [I] have been suggested. Firstly, Edouard de Saint-Phalle suggests that he was Gauthier, son of Raoul [I] Comte [d'Ostrevent][3]. This possible parentage is also shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[4]. The primary source which suggests that this might be the case has not been identified. The second possibility is that he was the same person as Gauthier Comte de Dreux: the editor of the compilation of Chartres charters suggests that "Walterius…comitis Waleranni filius" (Gauthier Comte de Dreux) inherited "comes Velcassinus" (Vexin) from his father, and "Ambianensis" (Amiens) from "matre autem Eldegarde" (acquiring Dreux from his wife's family)[5]. The primary sources on which this information is based have not been identified. However, two facts suggest that this second hypothesis may be correct. Firstly, Gauthier Comte de Dreux is also recorded with a wife named Eva (although the necrology entries quoted here and in PARIS REGION NOBILITY (Comtes de Dreux) suggest that there were two countesses of that name at the time). Secondly, the castle of Mantes, occupied by the descendants of Gauthier Comte d'Amiens, was near Dreux. One possible resolution of the problem is signposted by Seversmith who states that Gauthier [I] was the son of "Raoul de Gouy" whose wife he names "Eldearde"[6]. As will be seen above, the wife of Waleran, supposed father of Gauthier [I] under the second possible case, is named "Eldegardis". If Seversmith is correct, it is possible that Eldegardis married firstly Raoul [I] Comte [d’Ostrevant] and secondly Gauthier Comte de Dreux, and that Gauthier [I] was the son of her first marriage. It should be noted that the charter dated to before 967 under which Eldegardis made a donation for the soul of her husband Waleran, with the consent of "Walterio comite filio meo", does not specify that Gauthier was Waleran’s son[7], although the omission of an earlier husband from the document would be surprising if that husband had been Gauthier’s father. "Wauterii comitis, Walterii et Radulfi filiorum eius" subscribed a charter dated 975 under which "Hugo Francorum dux" restored the abbey of Saint-Jean to the abbey of Sainte-Croix d'Orléans[8]. Comte d'Amiens. A charter of "Hugo…Francorum rex" confirming the privileges of the monastery of Corvey dated 987 is subscribed by "Walteri comitis Ambianensis ac filiorum eius Walteri, Gotfredi, Rodulfi"[9]. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés records the death "XIX Kal Feb" of "Gualterii comitis"[10]. m firstly EVA, daughter of --- (-[19 Jan or 23 Nov] ----). “Aeva” donated “alodum...Fulloni Campum et Mansum Roberti in villa Ludolmis in pago Castrinse” to Saint-Germain-des-Prés, for the souls of “meæ...senioris mei Walterii”, by undated charter[11]. The necrology of the abbey of Sainte-Colombe records the death "XIV Kal Feb" of "Eve comitisse"[12]. m secondly ADELA, daughter of ---. A list of members of the Cathedral of Paris lists (in order) "…Walterius comes, Adela comitissa…"[13]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[14], she was Adela d'Anjou, daughter of Foulques [I] "le Roux" Comte d'Anjou & his wife Roscilla [de Loches] (after 909-). The primary source on which this is based has not been identified; it is possible that it is speculative, based on one of her sons being named Foulques. Comte Gauthier [I] & his [first/second] wife had five children:

a) GAUTHIER [II] "le Blanc" (-after 1017). A charter of "Hugo…Francorum rex" confirming the privileges of the monastery of Corvey dated 987 is subscribed by "Walteri comitis Ambianensis ac filiorum eius Walteri, Gotfredi, Rodulfi"[15]. Comte d'Amiens et du Vexin.

- see below.

b) RAOUL . "Wauterii comitis, Walterii et Radulfi filiorum eius" subscribed a charter dated 975 under which "Hugo Francorum dux" restored the abbey of Saint-Jean to the abbey of Sainte-Croix d'Orléans[16]. A charter of "Hugo…Francorum rex" confirming the privileges of the monastery of Corvey dated 987 is subscribed by "Walteri comitis Ambianensis ac filiorum eius Walteri, Gotfredi, Rodulfi"[17].

c) GUY (-[995]). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified. Bishop of Soissons [970]. Adalberon Archbishop of Reims founded abbatia Mosomagensis by charter dated 972, subscribed by “Wido Suessionensis ecclesiæ episcopus...”[18]. "...Widonis Suessionensis episcopi..." subscribed the charter dated 987 under which Hugues King of France issued orders at the request of “Mangaudus ex monasterio Corbeiæ”[19].

d) GODEFROY . A charter of "Hugo…Francorum rex" confirming the privileges of the monastery of Corvey dated 987 is subscribed by "Walteri comitis Ambianensis ac filiorum eius Walteri, Gotfredi, Rodulfi"[20].

e) FOULQUES . The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified. same person as...? FOULQUES (-[1030]). Bishop of Amiens [993]. According to Gallia Christiana, Bishop Foulques was “Galterii comitis Ambianorum...ex Aleide Crespeia natu minor” (no primary source cited)[21]. “...Fulco Ambianensis episcopus...” subscribed the charter dated to [1008] under which Robert II King of France confirmed donations to Saint-Denis[22].

GAUTHIER [II] "le Blanc", son of GAUTHIER [I] Comte d'Amiens & his [first/second] wife [Eva---/Adela ---] (-after 1017). "Wauterii comitis, Walterii et Radulfi filiorum eius" subscribed a charter dated 975 under which "Hugo Francorum dux" restored the abbey of Saint-Jean to the abbey of Sainte-Croix d'Orléans[23]. A charter of "Hugo…Francorum rex" confirming the privileges of the monastery of Corvey dated 987 is subscribed by "Walteri comitis Ambianensis ac filiorum eius Walteri, Gotfredi, Rodulfi"[24]. Comte de Mantes. "Walterius comes" donated property "prope nostrum castellum…Medanta" to "Carnotensi monasterio Sancti Petri", for the soul of "coniugis mee Adelidis filiorumque meorum", by charter to [1006], signed by "Walterii comitis, Rodulfi filii eius, Drogonis filii eius…"[25].

Comte Gauthier [II] & his wife had four children:

1. RAOUL de Mantes (-1060). "Walterius comes" donated property "prope nostrum castellum…Medanta" to "Carnotensi monasterio Sancti Petri", for the soul of "coniugis mee Adelidis filiorumque meorum", by charter to [1006], signed by "Walterii comitis, Rodulfi filii eius, Drogonis filii eius…"[27]. Comte de Valois et d'Amiens.

- COMTES de VALOIS.

2. DREUX [Drogo] de Mantes (-[13 Aug] [1035]). "Walterius comes" donated property "prope nostrum castellum…Medanta" to "Carnotensi monasterio Sancti Petri", for the soul of "coniugis mee Adelidis filiorumque meorum", by charter to [1006], signed by "Walterii comitis, Rodulfi filii eius, Drogonis filii eius…"[28]. He succeeded his father as Comte de Mantes. Comte d'Amiens. "Droco comes Ambianensium" donated property to "Sancti Petri Gismoensis" by undated charter, signed by "Droconis comitis, Eotde comitissæ, Falconis fratris comitis, Rodulfi filiii comitis, Gualterii alterius filii…"[29]. “Droco...comes Wilcassianensium” restored “villam...Calceatus in Wlcassino” [Chaussy-en-Vexin] to Saint-Wandrille by charter dated 7 Apr 1024[30]. Robert II King of France confirmed to the abbot of Saint-Germain and Saint-Vincent that he had forced “noster comes Drogo...cum duobus fratribus Fulcone...et Rodulfo necnon uxore cum filiis supramemorati Drogonis” to renounce rights to revenue from “in villa...Domni Martini...” to Saint-Germain-des-Prés by charter dated [1 Jan/1 Mar]1031[31]. He accompanied Robert II Duke of Normandy to Jerusalem and died on the journey[32]. According to Orderic Vitalis, Henri I King of France took back the Vexin after the death of Comte Drogo[33]. The necrology of Reims Saint-Rémi records the death "X Kal Aug" of "Drogo comes"[34]. m ([1025 or before]) as her first husband, GODGIFU [Goda] of England, daughter of ÆTHELRED II "the Unready" King of England & his second wife Emma de Normandie (-before 1049). Her parentage is stated by Orderic Vitalis, who says that Godgifu went into exile in Normandy with her brother[35] in 1013. According to Orderic Vitalis, her first marriage was arranged by Robert II Duke of Normandy[36], indicating that she probably did not return to England. This information is suspect, assuming that the charter of "Robertus Rex", which names "Comes Drogo…cum duobus fratribus Fulcone…et Rodulpho necnon uxore cum filiis supra memorati Drogonis", is correctly dated to 1025 as Duke Robert did not succeed as duke until 1027[37]. Another possibility is that Drogo's children at that date were born from an earlier otherwise unrecorded marriage. There is no indication of the birth dates of his known children shown below, but the fact that none of them was given a typically Anglo-Saxon name also suggests that Godgifu may not have been the mother of all of them (although she is attested as mother of the son Raoul, see below). "Droco comes Ambianensium" donated property to "Sancti Petri Gismoensis" by undated charter, signed by "Droconis comitis, Eotde comitissæ, Falconis fratris comitis, Rodulfi filiii comitis, Gualterii alterius filii…"[38]. Godgifu married secondly ([1036]) as his first wife, Eustache [II] Comte de Boulogne. Her second marriage is referred to by Florence of Worcester[39]. Comte Drogo & his wife had two children:

a) RAOUL de Mantes ([1025/30]-21 Dec 1057, bur Peterborough). His parentage is given by Orderic Vitalis37. Florence of Worcester calls Raoul the "son of King Edward's sister"[40]. "Droco comes Ambianensium" donated property to "Sancti Petri Gismoensis" by undated charter, signed by "Droconis comitis, Eotde comitissæ, Falconis fratris comitis, Rodulfi filiii comitis, Gualterii alterius filii…"[41]. Simeon of Durham names "earl Rodulph the son of king Eadward's sister Goda" in 1051[42]. Earl of Hereford.

- EARLS of HEREFORD, Families of SUDELEY and TRACY.

b) GAUTHIER [III] de Mantes (before [29 Mar 1030/10 Apr 1031]-poisoned Falaise [2 Aug] 1063). His parentage is given by Orderic Vitalis, who lists him after his brother Raoul[43]. "Drogo comes" agreed to donate property to Jumièges by charter dated to [29 Mar 1030/10 Apr 1031] subscribed by "Walterii filius eius"[44]. "Droco comes Ambianensium" donated property to "Sancti Petri Gismoensis" by undated charter, signed by "Droconis comitis, Eotde comitissæ, Falconis fratris comitis, Rodulfi filiii comitis, Gualterii alterius filii…"[45]. He succeeded his father in 1035 as Comte de Mantes.

- COMTES de MANTES.

3. FOULQUES de Mantes . Robert II King of France confirmed to the abbot of Saint-Germain and Saint-Vincent that he had forced “noster comes Drogo...cum duobus fratribus Fulcone...et Rodulfo necnon uxore cum filiis supramemorati Drogonis” to renounce rights to revenue from “in villa...Domni Martini...” to Saint-Germain-des-Prés by charter dated [1 Jan/1 Mar]1031[46]. "Droco comes Ambianensium" donated property to "Sancti Petri Gismoensis" by undated charter, signed by "Droconis comitis, Eotde comitissæ, Falconis fratris comitis, Rodulfi filiii comitis, Gualterii alterius filii…"[47]. same person as...? FOULQUES de Mantes (-1058). Bishop of Amiens . According to Gallia Christiana, Bishop Foulques was “nepos” of his predecessor (no primary source cited)[48]. Orderic Vitalis names Foulques as third son of Dreux Comte de Mantes and his wife Godgifu of England and specifies that he was Bishop of Amiens[49]. Foulques Bishop of Amiens is named in charters from early in the reign of Henri King of France. It is difficult to determine which of these charters may relate to his predecessor, also named Foulques. However, if they relate to Bishop Foulques who died in 1058 it is unlikely that Orderic Vitalis was correct about his parentage. It is possible, therefore, that Bishop Foulques was the brother of Dreux Comte de Mantes, who is named below, not his son. Henri I King of France granted privileges to Amiens, with the consent of “Fulcone Ambianensi et Gualtero comite”, by charter dated 1057[50].

4. daughter . The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to the mother of "Waleranni comitis [Mellentini]" as daughter of "Gauterus Albus de Albamarla"[51]. Yves de Chartres names "Gualterius Albus" as father of "matrem Gualeranni comitis"[52]. m HUGUES Comte de Meulan, son of GALERAN [II] Comte de Meulan & his wife --- (-after 25 Aug 1005).

1. GUY (-after [1091/94]). Comte d’Amiens. A charter dated to [1091/94] records the donation by "comites Ambianis Guido…et Ivo" of their possessions in "vicecomitatus de villa Duri et Sancti Mauricii" to Amiens Cathedral, although the document is suspect as the language is atypical of charters of the time[53].

2. YVES (-after [1091/94]). Comte d’Amiens. A charter dated to [1091/94] records the donation by "comites Ambianis Guido…et Ivo" of their possessions in "vicecomitatus de villa Duri et Sancti Mauricii" to Amiens Cathedral, although the document is suspect as the language is atypical of charters of the time[54].

B. COMTES d’AMIENS (SEIGNEURS de BOVES)

1. HUGUES [de Boves] . Ducange suggests that Hugues, who is only named in the charter dated 1117 which is cited below, could only have claimed that the "bourg du château de Crespy" (the subject of the dispute) belonged to him if he was related to the comtes d’Amiens who are shown in Part A of the present chapter[55]. m ---. The name of Hugues’s wife is not known. Hugues & his wife had one child:

a) DREUX [Drogo] de Boves (-[1071/76]). His parentage is confirmed by a charter dated 1117 which records a dispute between the monks of Saint-Arnoul de Crespy and [his son] "miles Ingelrannus" who claimed "quoddam burgum in suburbio castri situm" [château de Crespy] possessed "tam a avo suo quam a suo patre Drogone", and granted to his mother as dower, while the monks claimed that "Walterus…comes Ambianensis simul et Crespeiensis cum uxore sua Adela" [Gauthier [II] "le Blanc" Comte d’Amiens, see part A above] had donated the land, as confirmed by Robert II King of France and others, and that "Hugo avus eius" who had invaded the place with violence had later relinquished it, retaining "mansuram suam" in return for an annual payment[56]. Seigneur de Boves. "Drogonis de Bova, Nevelonis de Bova" subscribed the charter dated 1042 under which "Theobaldus et Stefanus frater meus germanus" [Thibaut III Comte de Blois and Etienne Comte de Troyes] donated "alodium nostrum…in pago Ambianensi super fluvium Iseræ…Crissiacum…[et] Gaudiaco et Rivaria" {Croissy, Gouy en Amiénois}, for the soul of "patris nostri Odonis comitis"[57]. "Drogo Bovensis, Robertus filius eius, Oilardus miles ipsius" subscribed the charter dated 1069 under which "Rodulphus…Ambianensis comes" regulated rights of the vicomtes in the lands of the monks of Saint-Firmin and donated property to the church of Amiens[58]. Guy Bishop of Amiens names "Drogonis Bovensis…uxor illius ac filii Ingelrannus…et Robertus, Ansellusque", in the presence of "Eustachius vicedominus, Guermundus frater eius", in an undated charter relating to "advocatione et vicecomitatu Costency"[59]. m --- (-after [1071/76]). The name of Dreux's wife is not known. She outlived her husband according to the charter dated 1117 which is cited above. Dreux & his wife had four children:

i) ENGUERRAND [I] de Boves (-[1117], bur Corbie Saint-Pierre). Guy Bishop of Amiens names "Drogonis Bovensis…uxor illius ac filii Ingelrannus…et Robertus, Ansellusque", in the presence of "Eustachius vicedominus, Guermundus frater eius", in an undated charter relating to "advocatione et vicecomitatu Costency"[60]. Seigneur de Boves et de la Fère-sur-Oise.

- see below.

ii) ROBERT de Boves . Guy Bishop of Amiens names "Drogonis Bovensis…uxor illius ac filii Ingelrannus…et Robertus, Ansellusque", in the presence of "Eustachius vicedominus, Guermundus frater eius", in an undated charter relating to "advocatione et vicecomitatu Costency"[61]. "Drogo Bovensis, Robertus filius eius, Oilardus miles ipsius" subscribed the charter dated 1069 under which "Rodulphus…Ambianensis comes" regulated rights of the vicomtes in the lands of the monks of Saint-Firmin and donated property to the church of Amiens[62]. A charter dated 28 Nov 1131 records the donation of "Cais" to the monastery of Lihons Saint-Pierre by "bone memorie Ingelrannus de Fara et Anselmus clericus frater eius et Robertus tertius frater, annuente Mathildi sorore sua" and the later confirmation by "Robertus de Cais, prefati Anselmi filius"[63].

iii) ANSEAU de Boves . Guy Bishop of Amiens names "Drogonis Bovensis…uxor illius ac filii Ingelrannus…et Robertus, Ansellusque", in the presence of "Eustachius vicedominus, Guermundus frater eius", in an undated charter relating to "advocatione et vicecomitatu Costency"[64]. 1069. A charter dated 28 Nov 1131 records the donation of "Cais" to the monastery of Lihons Saint-Pierre by "bone memorie Ingelrannus de Fara et Anselmus clericus frater eius et Robertus tertius frater, annuente Mathildi sorore sua" and the later confirmation by "Robertus de Cais, prefati Anselmi filius"[65]. m ---. The name of Anseau’s wife is not known. Anseau & his wife had one child:

(a) ROBERT de Cais . A charter dated 28 Nov 1131 records the donation of "Cais" to the monastery of Lihons Saint-Pierre by "bone memorie Ingelrannus de Fara et Anselmus clericus frater eius et Robertus tertius frater, annuente Mathildi sorore sua" and the later confirmation by "Robertus de Cais, prefati Anselmi filius"[66].

iv) MATHILDE de Boves . A charter dated 28 Nov 1131 records the donation of "Cais" to the monastery of Lihons Saint-Pierre by "bone memorie Ingelrannus de Fara et Anselmus clericus frater eius et Robertus tertius frater, annuente Mathildi sorore sua" and the later confirmation by "Robertus de Cais, prefati Anselmi filius"[67].

The precise relationship between the following person and the main Boves family has not been traced, but his name following that of Dreux de Boves in the witness list of the charter quoted below suggests a close relationship:

1. NIVELONG de Boves (-after 1042). "Drogonis de Bova, Nevelonis de Bova" subscribed the charter dated 1042 under which "Theobaldus et Stefanus frater meus germanus" [Thibaut III Comte de Blois and Etienne Comte de Troyes] donated "alodium nostrum…in pago Ambianensi super fluvium Iseræ…Crissiacum…[et] Gaudiaco et Rivaria" {Croissy, Gouy en Amiénois}, for the soul of "patris nostri Odonis comitis"[68].

ENGUERRAND [I] de Boves, son of DREUX [Drogo] de Boves & his wife --- (-[1117], bur Corbie Saint-Pierre). Guy Bishop of Amiens names "Drogonis Bovensis…uxor illius ac filii Ingelrannus…et Robertus, Ansellusque", in the presence of "Eustachius vicedominus, Guermundus frater eius", in an undated charter relating to "advocatione et vicecomitatu Costency"[69]. Seigneur de Boves et de la Fère-sur-Oise. Comte d'Amiens 1085: "Enguerrand comte d’Amiens et avoué de Boves" is named in a charter of the abbey of Saint-Acheul dated 1085[70]. Seigneur de Coucy [1085]. "…Ingelrannus de Codiciaco…et Thomas filius eius…" witnessed the charter dated 1086 which confirmed property of the church of Reims[71]. The date when Enguerrand [I] acquired Coucy is difficult to establish precisely. The Vita Sancti Arnulfi Suessionensis Episcopi records that "vir nobilis, militiæ actibus implicitus…Guido" married "uxorem…Ermengardem" and records that "Albricus frater eius, Cotidiaci dominus" was captured and expelled "per consilium suæ coniugis Avelinæ"[72]. The source does not specify who expelled Aubry from Coucy, but it is likely that it was Enguerrand. Aubry is named for the last time in 1079 in French sources in connection with Coucy, so it is likely that his expulsion occurred after that date. Presumably Enguerrand was acting to claim Coucy in the name of his wife, heiress of Coucy as suggested below. Vicomte de Coucy 1095[73]. Suger's Vita Ludovici records that "Thomam de Marna" was besieged by "pater eius Engerrannus de Bova" at "castrum…Mons Acutus…in pago Laudunensi"[74]. A charter dated 1117 records a dispute between the monks of Saint-Arnoul de Crespy and [his son] "miles Ingelrannus" who claimed "quoddam burgum in suburbio castri situm" [château de Crespy] possessed "tam a avo suo quam a suo patre Drogone", and granted to his mother as dower, while the monks claimed that "Walterus…comes Ambianensis simul et Crespeiensis cum uxore sua Adela" [Gauthier [II] "le Blanc" Comte d’Amiens, see part A above] had donated the land, as confirmed by Robert II King of France and others, and that "Hugo avus eius" who had invaded the place with violence had later relinquished it, retaining "mansuram suam" in return for an annual payment[75]. A manuscript Mémoires pour faire l’Histoire des Seigneurs de Coucy, written at Nogent-sous-Coucy before 1631, records Enguerrand’s burial “à St Pierre de Corbie”[76].

m (repudiated) as her second husband, ADA de Marle, divorced wife of AUBRY [de Beaumont-sur-Oise] Vicomte de Coucy, daughter of LETARD de Roucy Seigneur de Marle & his wife ---. Elinand Bishop of Laon donations made by "Albricus de Cociaco castro…cum uxore sua Adela et matre eius Malthilde" by charter dated 3 Nov 1059[77]. Her parentage and second marriage are indicated by the Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis which names "Letaldus de Marla…filiam nomine Adam" as mother of "Thomam de Marla"[78], read together with the sources which indicate that Thomas was the son of Enguerrand [I] de Bove Comte d’Amiens. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "filia…Letardi domni de Marla…Ada" as mother of "Thomam de Cocy"[79]. It is assumed that "Adela" in the first source is the same person as "Ada" in the second and third sources, but this is not beyond all doubt. [Heiress of Coucy]: as Coucy passed from her first husband to her second husband, it is supposed that Ada was heiress of Coucy, although no primary source has yet been identified which confirms that this speculation is correct.

Mistress (1): SIBYLLE de Porcien, wife of GODEFROI de Namur, daughter of ROGER Comte de Porcien & his wife Ermengarde ---. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Sibiliam filiam comitis Rogerii Porcensis" as wife of "comes Godefridus de Namuco"[80]. The Chronicon Huberti names "filiam suo [=Rogerus Porcensium comes] Sibillam" as wife of "Godefrido filio Alberti comitis Namucensis"[81]. Guibert de Nogent records that "Ingelrannus" abducted "filia…Rogeri comitis Porcensis", wife of "Namurensi…comiti Godefrido" and in a later passage that the couple had a daughter[82].

Enguerrand [I] & his first wife had two children:

1. THOMAS de Coucy ([1070/75]]-[1130/31], bur Nogent-sous-Coucy). The Annales Lobienses name "Letaldus de Marla…filiam nomine Adam" as mother of "Thomam de Marla"[83]. Seigneur de Coucy et de Marle, Comte d'Amiens.

- see below.

2. BEATRIX de Boves (-1144). Malbrancq records her parentage and marriage[84], but the primary source on which this is based has not been identified. m [as his second wife,] ADAM Châtelain d’Amiens, son of --- (-1125 or after).

Enguerrand had one illegitimate child by Mistress (1):

3. daughter . Guibert de Nogent records that "Ingelrannus" abducted "filia…Rogeri comitis Porcensis", wife of "Namurensi…comiti Godefrido" and in a later passage that the couple had a daughter[85].

THOMAS de Coucy, son of ENGUERRAND [I] de Boves Seigneur de Coucy & his first wife Ada de Marle [Roucy] ([1070/75]-[1130/31], bur Nogent-sous-Coucy). The Annales Lobienses name "Letaldus de Marla…filiam nomine Adam" as mother of "Thomam de Marla"[86]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "filia…Letardi domni de Marla…Ada" as mother of "Thomam de Cocy"[87]. Guibert de Nogent names "Thomam, Ingelranni filium"[88]. "…Ingelrannus de Codiciaco…et Thomas filius eius…" witnessed the charter dated 1086 which confirmed property of the church of Reims[89]. William of Tyre records "…Thomas de Feria…" among those who joined the contingent led by Hugues Comte de Vermandois on the First Crusade in 1096[90]. Suger's Vita Ludovici records that "Thomam de Marna" was besieged by "pater eius Engerrannus de Bova" at "castrum…Mons Acutus…in pago Laudunensi"[91]. Seigneur de Coucy et de Marle, Comte d'Amiens. In 1117, Louis VI "le Gros" King of France confiscated the county of Amiens and granted it to Adelais Ctss de Vermandois[92]. Suger's Vita Ludovici also records that "Thomam de Marna" was eventually captured and died in captivity[93]. The Breve Chronicon Buciliensis records that in 1120 “Thomas dominus de Fara et de Marla” confirmed the donations to Bucilly made by “Engelrannus eius pater”[94]. The Chronique de Guillaume de Nangis records in 1128 that "Louis roi des Français fit marcher une armée contre Thomas de Marle seigneur de Coucy", who was captured by "Raoul comte de Vermandois" and handed mortally wounded to the king[95]. A manuscript Mémoires pour faire l’Histoire des Seigneurs de Coucy, written at Nogent-sous-Coucy before 1631, records Thomas’s burial “à Nogent-sous-Coucy, sous la tour”[96].

m firstly ([1100], repudiated) IDA de Hainaut, daughter of BAUDOUIN II Comte de Hainaut & his wife Ida de Louvain ([1085]-after [1105]). The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis refers to "sororem Balduini comitis Hainoensis" as wife of "Thomam de Marla"[97]. The Chronicon Hanoniense refers to a second unnamed sister of "comitis Hainoniensis" who married "Thome de Marla"[98]. The Annales Lobienses refer to "sororem Balduini comitis Hainoensis" as wife of "Thomam de Marla"[99]. The primary source which confirms her name has not been identified.

m secondly ---. This second marriage is indicated by Suger's Vita Ludovici which records that "Thomam de Marna" acquired "castrum…Mons Acutus in pago Laudunensi, occasione cuiusdam matrimonii"[100]. Tardif suggests that she was "probablement la fille de Roger de Montaigu et d’Ermengarde", adding that the couple were separated soon afterwards on the grounds of consanguinity (no primary source cited which provides the basis for the statement)[101].

m thirdly MELISENDE de Crécy, daughter of GUY Seigneur de Crécy-sur-Serre & his wife --- (-after 1147). The Annales Lobienses name "de terra Ambianensi…Milesendem" as wife of "Thomam de Marla" after he repudiated his first wife[102]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to the second wife of "Thomas de Coci" as "domna de Bovis"[103]. Tardif records Thomas’s third marriage with "Milesende de Crécy, héritière de Guy seigneur de Crécy-sur-Serre", adding that her dowry was "les deux châteaux de Crécy et de Nouvion-l’Abbesse, dépendant tous deux de l’abbaye de Saint-Jean de Laon" (no primary source cited which provides the basis for the statement)[104]. A charter dated 16 Apr 1131 records the restoration of “Erlons et manso sancti Lamberti” to Laon Saint-Vincent, subscribed by “Gerardi vicedomini, Nicholai castellani...domine Milesendis, Ingelranni filii eius...”[105].

Thomas & his first wife had two children:

1. IDA de Coucy (-after 1161). The Annales Lobienses refer to the two daughters of "Thomam de Marla" & his wife, specifying that one (unnamed, mentioned first) married "Alardo de Cymaco" by whom she was mother of "Gilonem" and after his death "Bernardo de Urbais", by whom she was mother of "Engelranum"[106]. The Chronicon Hanoniense names "Ydam" as one of the daughters of "Thome de Marla" & his wife "comitis Hainoniensis soror" specifying that she married "Alardo de Cymaco agnomine Poliere, pari Castri Montensis" by whom she was mother of "Engelramum"[107]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Basilia" as one of the two daughters of "Thomam de Cocy", specifying that her husband was "Alardo de Cimay"[108]. “Engelrannum de Orbais nobilem virum cum matre sua Ida nobili femina” settled disputes with Waulsort concerning “villam...Roserias”, for “patrique suo Bernardo et matri Ide orationes”, by charter dated 17 Sep 1160[109]. “...Ide de Cimai...Gilii de Cimai...” subscribed the charter dated 1161 under which the monks of Saint-Sépulcre transferred “de Villerel...molendini” to Baudouin IV Comte de Hainaut[110]. m firstly ALARD [IV] de Chimay, son of ---. m secondly BERNARD d'Orbais, son of SIGER d’Orbais & his wife --- (-before 1155).

2. BEATRIX de Coucy (-after 1156). The Annales Lobienses refer to the two daughters of "Thomam de Marla" & his wife, specifying that one (unnamed, mentioned second) married "Evrardus de Bretullie" by whom she was mother of "Evrardum et Gualerannum cum aliis"[111]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to the other of the two daughters of "Thomam de Cocy" as the husband was "Everardus de Bretulio"[112]. "Ebrardus Britulensium dominus" names his wife Beatrix and his sons “Galeran et Ebrard” in a charter in favour of Charlis abbey[113]. Pope Lucius II ordered an enquiry into the consanguinity between “Ebrardus de Britolio”, who had just returned from Jerusalem, and “filiam...Thomæ de Marna”, presumably with a view to regularising Erard’s second marriage, dated 16 Jun 1144[114]. m ERARD [III] de Breteuil, son of VALERAN [II] Seigneur de Breteuil & his wife Ivette [Judith] --- (-killed in battle Laodicea 1147).

Thomas & his third wife had four children:

3. ENGUERRAND [II] de Coucy (-after 1147, bur Nazareth). The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names "Ingelrannum de Marla et Robertum Bovensem et filiam nomine matris" as children of "Thomam de Marla" and his wife Mélisende[115]. Seigneur de Coucy et de Marle.

- SEIGNEURS de COUCY.

4. ROBERT de Coucy (-Acre 19 Jun 1191). The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names "Ingelrannum de Marla et Robertum Bovensem et filiam nomine matris" as children of "Thomam de Marla" by his wife Mélisende[116]. Seigneur de Boves. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Ingelrannum…et Robertum Bovensem" as sons of "Thomas de Coci" and his "secundo uxor domna de Bovis", specifying that Robert was "virem crudelem"[117]. A charter dated 1146 records an agreement between the canons of Amiens Sainte-Marie and "Robertum de Bova, filium Thome" regarding various properties and rights[118]. Roger of Hoveden names “...Robertus de Boiues...” among those who died at the siege of Acre[119]. m BEATRIX de Saint-Pol, daughter of HUGUES [III] "Candavène" Comte de Saint-Pol & his [first wife ---/second wife Marguerite de Clermont] (-after 1192). “Ingerranus de Bova” donated property from "Robertus pater meus hereditatem meam" to Amiens, with the consent of “Beatrice matre mea et Roberto fratre meo”, by charter dated 1192[120]. The necrology of Amiens records the death "IV Non Mar" of "Beatricis sororis Hugonis comitis de Sancto Paulo et uxoris Roberti domini de Bova et matris Thomæ præpositi huius ecclesiæ"[121]. It is assumed that either “sororis” in this entry is an error or the name “Hugonis”. The chronology suggests that Beatrix was the daughter of Comte Hugues [III]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln Beatrix was the daughter of Hugues [III] by his second marriage[122]. There appears to be no definite indication about the identity of her mother, although the chronology appears to favour Marguerite de Clermont. Robert & his wife had four children:

a) ENGUERRAND [II] de Boves (-before 1224). Seigneur de Boves. “Ingerranus de Bova” donated property from "Robertus pater meus hereditatem meam" to Amiens, with the consent of “Beatrice matre mea et Roberto fratre meo”, by charter dated 1192[123]. “Ingelrannus de Bova...Robertus frater meus” reached agreement with the church of Amiens, with the consent of "uxor eius Maria et heredes eiusdem Roberti", by charter dated 1201[124]. "Enguerran de Boves et…Adde sa femme" donated property to Saint-Fuscian lés Amiens, with the consent of "Thomas, de Robert et de Hugues freres dudit Enguerran", by undated charter[125]. "Ingelrannus dominus Bovæ" accepted the arbitrage of a dispute involving the priory of Saint-Leu d’Esserent concerning revenue from Ailly, with the consent of "uxor mea Ada et Robertus et Thomas et Hugo fratres mei", by charter dated May 1202[126]. Villehardouin records that "Enguerrand de Boves and his brother Robert" joined the Fourth Crusade[127]. The Scripta de Feodis of King Philippe II record “Johans sires de Neele” holding “Neele et les apartenances...” and name among his “home...missire Engerranz de Bove, missire Roberz sis frères...”[128]. A charter dated 14 Mar 1214 (O.S.) lists the knights from Vermandois who fought at Bouvines, including “...Hugues de Boves, Enguerrand de Boves, Robert de Boves...”[129]. m firstly ELISABETH, daughter of --- (-after 1185). A charter of Vauclair dated 1185 names "Ingelranni de Bova et Elizabeth uxoris eius neptis Rogeri Laudunensis episcopi"[130]. m secondly ADA [de Nesle, daughter of JEAN [I] de Nesle Châtelain de Bruges & his wife Elisabeth van Peteghem] (-[Dec 1252/Dec 1254]). "Ingelrannus dominus Bovæ" accepted the arbitrage of a dispute involving the priory of Saint-Leu d’Esserent concerning revenue from Ailly, with the consent of "uxor mea Ada et Robertus et Thomas et Hugo fratres mei", by charter dated May 1202[131]. The second wife of Enguerrand [II] Seigneur de Boves is shown in Europäische Stammtafeln as the daughter of Jean de Nesle Châtelain de Bruges[132]. The primary source which confirms her parentage has not been identified. Du Chesne provides no indication of her parentage[133]. Enguerrand [II] & his [first/second] wife had two children:

i) ROBERT de Boves (-[4 May] [1245/1249]). Seigneur de Boves. “Dominus Robertus de Bova” confirmed donations to the church of Amiens "in litteris Ingelranni patris sui...Roberti quondam domini de Bova avi sui" by charter dated Aug 1227[134]. "Robertus de Bova miles dominus de Fouencamp" donated revenue from “traversum suum de Folliaco” to Corbie, with the consent of “Roberti domini de Bova”, by charter dated 1237[135]. "Robert seigneur de Boves chevalier, Robert de Boves son vassal fils de Robert son oncle, seigneur de Fouencamp, Marie femme dudit Robert seigneur de Fouencamp" donated property to Saint-Fuscian lés Amiens by charter dated 1239[136]. "Robert de Boves" confirmed the sale of “la troisième partie de la disme de Cagny” to Saint-Acheul, with the consent of “sa femme”, by charter dated 1245[137]. [The necrology of Amiens records the death "IV Non Mai" of "domini Roberti de Bova militis et Margaretæ eius uxoris"[138]. It is not certain which Robert Seigneur de Boves is indicated by this entry, although Robert son of Enguerrand [II] seems to be the only possibility.] m --- (-after 1245). "Robert de Boves" confirmed the sale of “la troisième partie de la disme de Cagny” to Saint-Acheul, with the consent of “sa femme”, by charter dated 1245[139]. Information appears contradictory regarding the identity of the wife of Robert Seigneur de Boves, which suggests that he may have married twice: [m MARGUERITE. daughter of ---. The necrology of Amiens records the death "IV Non Mai" of "domini Roberti de Bova militis et Margaretæ eius uxoris"[140]. As noted above, it is not certain which Robert Seigneur de Boves is indicated by this entry.] [m as her first husband, HELVIDE d'Autrèches, daughter of GUILLAUME de Nanteuil-la-Fosse Seigneur d'Autrèches [Châtillon] & his wife Beatrix d’Arcy (-after 1262). According to Europäische Stammtafeln, the wife of Robert Seigneur de Boves was Helvide, daughter of Guillaume de Nanteuil-la-Fosse seigneur d’Autrèches, noting the dates “1238/1262”[141]. The primary source which confirms her parentage and two marriages has not been identified. Europäische Stammtafeln states that she married secondly Renaud de la Tournelle[142].]

ii) ISABELLE de Boves (-after Jul 1263). No primary source has been found which confirms Isabelle’s parentage. Her inheritance of the seigneurie de Boves indicates a close relationship with Robert Seigneur de Boves who died [1245/49]. The dating of Isabelle’s marriage suggests that it is more likely that she was Robert’s sister rather than his daughter. “Nicolaus dominus de Rumigniaco et de Florines” donated property to Bonnefontaine abbey, with the consent of “Elisabeth uxoris mee et liberorum meorum”, by charter dated May 1235[143]. Dame de Château-Porcien: Isabelle is named as Dame de Château-Porcien in the charter dated Jul 1259 quoted below. It is unclear how she inherited this seigneurie. Her husband Nicolas [V] Seigneur de Rumigny was already named as seigneur de Château-Porcien in 1239: “Nicolaus de Ruminiaco et de castro Portuensi dominus” donated fishing rights to Chaumont, with the consent of “Isabelle uxoris mee et liberorum meorum”, by charter dated May 1239[144]. Assuming that he inherited Château-Porcien from his wife, this charter suggests that it formed part of her dowry or at least was inherited by Isabelle before the death of her brother Robert Seigneur de Boves. However, no earlier sources indicate that Château-Porcien was one of the fiefs of the Boves family. A more likely explanation is that it was purchased by Nicolas de Rumigny from a third party. Dame de Boves: “Yssabella domina de Bova et de Porciens” confirmed the concession made by “quondam...Nicholai domini de Rumigniaco quondam mariti mei” to Chaumont abbey by charter dated Jul 1259[145]. The seigneurie de Boves was inherited by her son Hugues [II] Seigneur de Rumigny et de Florennes. m (before May 1214) NICOLAS [V] Seigneur de Rumigny, son of NICOLAS [IV] Seigneur de Rumigny & his [second] wife Mathilde d’Avesnes (-1257, after 21 Mar).

"Robert de Boves et Marie sa femme, Enguerran de Boves seigneur de Boves son frere, Robert, Hellins et Thomas ses enfants" donated property to Saint-Fuscian lés Amiens by charter dated 1202[150]. Villehardouin records that "Enguerrand de Boves and his brother Robert" joined the Fourth Crusade[151].

A charter dated 14 Mar 1214 (O.S.) lists the knights from Vermandois who fought at Bouvines, including “...Hugues de Boves, Enguerrand de Boves, Robert de Boves...”[156].

"Robert seigneur de Boves chevalier, Robert de Boves son vassal fils de Robert son oncle, seigneur de Fouencamp, Marie femme dudit Robert seigneur de Fouencamp" donated property to Saint-Fuscian lés Amiens by charter dated 1239[163]. Robert & his wife had [one child]:

(a) [MABILE de Boves (-after 1292). Dame de Fouencamp: Du Chesne, in a paragraph dealing with Robert de Boves Seigneur de Fouencamp, notes that "la lignée de celuy-ci finit en Mabile de Boves, qualifiée Damoiselle de Foencamp dans un acte de 1292", without providing any citation reference to the document[164]. If the date is correct, the chronology suggests that Mabile could have been the daughter of Robert. However, from what Du Chesne says it does not appear that the document specifies the family relationship between the two. Other relationships are possible: for instance Mabile could have been the widow of a male member of the family or a descendant of one of Robert’s brothers.]

The necrology of Amiens records the death "III Kal Mar" of "Gertrudis uxoris Hugonis d’Aubegny dicti Tacon domini d’Orreville et demum uxoris Roberti de Bova"[179].

C. CHÂTELAINS d’AMIENS

1. ADAM (-1125 or after). Châtelain d’Amiens. The Vita Godefridis Bishop of Amiens names "Adamum [Ambianensi] civitatis principem" when recording disturbances in the town[180]. Guibert de Nogent records that "Adam…cui præerat ipse" helped "Ingelrannus urbis comes" quell a rebellion in Amiens[181]. Suger's Vita Ludovici records that "Ambianensem…civitatis Adæ…tyranni" was dispossessed by Louis VI King of France[182]. [m firstly ---. No direct reference to this supposed first marriage has been found. However, assuming that Adam’s second marriage is correctly stated below, it is unlikely that his sons Adelelme and Guy were born to his second wife, who would have been the first cousins of their wives.] m [secondly] BEATRIX de Boves, daughter of ENGUERRAND [I] Seigneur de Boves Comte d’Amiens & his wife Ada de Marle [Roucy] (-1144). Malbrancq records her parentage and marriage[183], but the primary source on which this is based has not been identified. Adam & his [first] wife had two children:

The source which links Flandrine, daughter of Guy, to Flandrine, wife of Guermond [III], has not been identified, although the unusual name and the close geographic proximity of the two families suggest that this co-identity is likely. “Weremundus vicedomini Pinconii” donated property “in montana de feodo meo...territoria Moncellorum, Maisniliorum et Vacariarum” to Lannoy abbey, with the consent of “Flandrina uxor mea, Girardus filius meus, Petrus et Johannes fratres mei”, by charter dated 1179[193]. m (1175) GUERMOND [III] de Picquigny Vidame d’Amiens, son of GUERMOND [I] de Picquigny Vidame d’Amiens & his first wife Mathilde --- (-after 1186, bur Abbaye du Gard).

Adam & his [first/second] wife had two children:

c) HUGUES d’Amiens (-11 Nov 1164). Monk at Cluny. Abbot of Reading. Archbishop of Rouen [1129/30]: Orderic Vitalis records that “Hugo Ambianensis, monachus Cluniacensis, abbas Radingiensis” was made archbishop of Rouen in 1130[196]. Gallia Christiana suggests that Hugues’s election took place during the reign of Pope Honorius II (died 13 Feb 1130][197].

Seigneur de Flexicourt, de Vignacourt, de la Broye et de l’Etoile. m MARGUERITE de Saint-Pol, daughter of ANSELME Comte de Saint-Pol & his [first wife ---] (-after 1219). Her parentage is confirmed by Villehardouin who records that "Count Hugh of St Paul, Peter of Amiens his nephew…" formed the third division in the attack on Constantinople by the Fourth Crusade in 1204[204]. Dreux & his wife had [six] children:

a) PIERRE (-Philippi, Macedonia 1204). Seigneur de Vignacourt et de Flexicourt.

b) RENAUD (-1227, bur Vignacourt). Châtelain d’Amiens. "Regilnadus de Ambianis…son frère" assumed the succession of "Pierre fils aîné de Dreux comte d’Amiens et de Marguerite, étant mort en 1202 au voyage de Constantinople", with the consent of "Mathilde son épouse…ses filles Marguerite et Adéline, de ses frères Thibault, Aléaume et Bernard"[208].

- SEIGNEURS de VIGNACOURT, de FLEXICOURT et de REGNAUVILLE[211].

c) THIBAUT (-after 1252). "Regilnadus de Ambianis…son frère" assumed the succession of "Pierre fils aîné de Dreux comte d’Amiens et de Marguerite, étant mort en 1202 au voyage de Constantinople", with the consent of "Mathilde son épouse…ses filles Marguerite et Adéline, de ses frères Thibault, Aléaume et Bernard"[212]. Seigneur de Canaples et d’Outrebois. m ---. The name of Thibaut’s wife is not known. Thibaut & his wife had five children[213]:

i) [JEANNE (-after 1260). Père Anselme names "Jeanne d’Amiens, dame de Talmas, de l’Orsignol et de Buire-aux-Bis, fille de Thibaut d’Amiens, seigneur de Winacourt et de Canaples" as the wife of "Gilles II…seigneur de Mailly" but cites no corresponding primary source[214]. m GILLES [II] Seigneur de Mailly, son of GILLES [I] Seigneur de Mailly & his wife Avicie de Heilly (-after 1270).]

d) [THOMAS (-after 1244). "Pierre d’Amiens" donated property to Moreaucourt, with the consent of "Thomas son frère", by charter dated May 1200[215]. "Regnaud d’Amiens" donated property to Moreaucourt, with the consent of "Thomas, Aleaume et Bernard ses frères", by charter dated Jul 1210[216]. The order of the names in the last document suggests that "Thomas" may represent a mistranscription for "Thibaut" by Dom Villevieille.]

e) ADELELME (-before Aug 1248). "Regilnadus de Ambianis…son frère" assumed the succession of "Pierre fils aîné de Dreux comte d’Amiens et de Marguerite, étant mort en 1202 au voyage de Constantinople", with the consent of "Mathilde son épouse…ses filles Marguerite et Adéline, de ses frères Thibault, Aléaume et Bernard"[217].

2. PIERRE (-after 1172).

D. VIDAMES d’AMIENS (PICQUIGNY)

Two brothers, parents not identified:

1. EUSTACHE (-after 1069). Vidame d’Amiens. "…Eustachius vicedominus, Guermundus frater eius…" subscribed the charter dated to [1069/74] relating to "vicecomitatu Costencii" for Sainte-Marie d'Amiens[221].

2. GUERMOND [I] (-after 1069). "…Guermundus frater vicedomini…" subscribed the charter dated 1069 under which "Rodulphus…Ambianensis comes" donated property to Sainte-Marie d'Amiens[222].

1. ARNAUD de Picquigny . Vidame d’Amiens. He is named in the source quoted below which names his daughter. No primary source has been found which names him in his own capacity. m ---. The name of Arnaud’s wife is not known. Arnaud & his wife had one child:

a) MELISENDE de Picquigny . The Historia Comitum Ghisnensium names "de…regis Francorum Karoli Magni stirpe et familia progenitam, Ernulphi vicedomini de Pinkinio filiam…Milesendem" as wife of "Willelmus Andomarensis castellanus"[223]. Her alleged descent from Charlemagne has not been traced. m GUILLAUME [II] Châtelain de Saint-Omer, son of [GUILLAUME [I] Châtelain de Saint-Omer] & his [first wife ---] (-1143 or after).

1. GUERMOND [II] de Picquigny (-after 1131). No primary source has been found which indicates the parentage of Guermond [II], but his name indicates a family relationship with Guermond [I] who is named above. Vidame d’Amiens. m BEATRIX, daughter of --- (-13 Feb 1144, bur Abbaye de Saint-Jean). The wife of Guermond [I] is called Beatrix in secondary sources but the primary source on which this is based has not been identified. Darsy states that the wife of Guermond "Béatrix" was buried “XVI Kal Mar” 1144 at “l’église de Saint-Jean”[224]. In a later passage, he notes a charter dated 13 Feb 1144 which records the burial in the presence of her six children "avec les trois enfants de Gérard et Manassès de Bulles, frère de Renault"[225]. Domesday Descendants records that the --- de Saint-Valéry, daughter of Renaud de Saint-Valéry was the mother of "Gerard II de Picquigny vidame d’Amiens", presumably indicating Gérard [I], and cites the cartulary of Oseney[226]. The chronology for this connection does not appear ideal, assuming that the dates of the members of the Picquigny family are accurately recorded in the present document. However, a connection (maybe a family relationship) between the Saint-Valéry and Picquigny families is shown by the letter written by Pope Alexander III to Henri Archbishop of Reims, dated 29 Mar 1154, to enforce reparations from "vicedominus Pinciniaco, Bern. de S. Walerico et Gualterius Tyrellus" for the damage which they had caused to the abbey of Saint-Pierre de Selincourt[227]. Guermond [II] & his wife had six children:

a) GERARD [I] (-1178, bur Abbaye du Gard). “...Gerardus et Enguerannus de Pincquinis fratres...” witnessed the charter dated Jul 1129 under which “Hugo castellanus de Cambrai et dom. de Oisy” donated property to Mont Saint-Eloi[228]. Vidame d’Amiens. "Girard vidame de Picquigny" donated property to "la maison de Gabarinville, lorsque dam Euphémie sa sœur s’y fit religieuse" by charter dated 1149[229]. He appears to have acquired land at Wymering, Hampshire in part through his marriage[230]. Pope Alexander III wrote to Henri Archbishop of Reims 29 Mar 1154 to enforce reparations from "vicedominus Pinciniaco, Bern. de S. Walerico et Gualterius Tyrellus" for the damage which they had caused to the abbey of Saint-Pierre de Selincourt[231]. Pope Alexander III wrote to Henri Archbishop of Reims 23 May 1154 to enforce reparations from "vicedominus Pinginniacensis" for the damage which they had caused to the abbey of Cercamps[232]. “Gerardus vicedominus de Pinconio” settled disputes with Amiens cathedral, with the consent of “filiorum suorum Guermundi primogeniti sui et heredis et Petri”, by charter dated 1176[233]. The date of his death is indicated by a charter dated 1178 which records a donation made by Darsy cites a charter dated 1178 which records a donation made by Gérard in the presence of his three sons as well as a confirmation of the same donation by his son Guermond [III] in the presence of his two brothers[234]. m firstly MATHILDE, daughter of --- (-before 1154). Gérard de Picquigny granted tithes of salt at “Wimering” to Southwick priory, for the souls of his parents and his wife Matilda, and for the salvation of himself and his heirs, by charter dated [1160/65][235]. The distinction between the two groups of beneficiaries suggests that Mathilde was deceased at the time of the donation. m secondly (before 1154) BEATRIX, daughter of --- (-4 Feb ----). Daire indicates that Beatrix wife of Gérard de Picquigny “paroît dans les Chartes en 1154” but provides no primary source citation[236]. Darsy states that the “Cartulaire” (presumably of Amiens) records the death “la veille des nones de février” of “Béatrix mère de Willaume” canon at Amiens[237]. One of Gérard’s wives was --- d’Aumâle, daughter of ETIENNE Comte d’Aumâle & his wife Hawise de Mortemer: a manuscript history of the foundation of Melsa Abbey records that “Willielmus” had “sorores quatuor, filias Stephani” who married “una…vicedomino de Pynkeney, altera…vicedomino de Verberay, tertia…Bertanno de Brikebet, quarta Willielmo de Romare et postea Petro de Brus”[238]. The date of her parents’ marriage (“before [1100”) suggests that she may have been his first wife, but the marriage date of her sister Agnes (“after 1143”) suggests that her identity as Gérard’s second wife cannot be excluded. Gérard [I] & his first wife had three children:

i) GUERMOND [III] (-after 1186, bur Abbaye du Gard). Darsy cites a charter dated 13 Feb 1144 which records the burial of Beatrix, wife of Guermond [II] de Picquigny, in the presence of her six children "avec les trois enfants de Gérard..."[239]. “Gerardus vicedominus de Pinconio” settled disputes with Amiens cathedral, with the consent of “filiorum suorum Guermundi primogeniti sui et heredis et Petri”, by charter dated 1176[240]. His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 1190 under which his son "Girard vidame de Picquigny" confirmed the donation made by "Girard son ayeul, aux malades du val de Picquigny, laquelle Vermond son père a acquittée pendant toute sa vie"[241]. Vidame d’Amiens. “Weremundus vicedomini Pinconii” donated property “in montana de feodo meo...territoria Moncellorum, Maisniliorum et Vacariarum” to Lannoy abbey, with the consent of “Flandrina uxor mea, Girardus filius meus, Petrus et Johannes fratres mei”, by charter dated 1179[242]. m (1175) FLANDRINE d’Amiens, daughter of GUY Châtelain d’Amiens & his wife Mathilde de Coucy. "Alermus Fleciscortis et Ambianis civitatis princeps quartus" confirmed his donation to Amiens Saint-Jean on leaving on crusade, confirming donations by "Uvido pater meus et Mathildis mater mea", with the consent of "sorores meæ Flandria, Melissendis et Mathildis", by charter dated 1151[243]. The source which links Flandrine, daughter of Guy, to Flandrine, wife of Guermond [III], has not been identified, although the unusual name and the close geographic proximity of the two families suggest that this co-identity is likely. “Weremundus vicedomini Pinconii” donated property “in montana de feodo meo...territoria Moncellorum, Maisniliorum et Vacariarum” to Lannoy abbey, with the consent of “Flandrina uxor mea, Girardus filius meus, Petrus et Johannes fratres mei”, by charter dated 1179[244]. Guermond [III] & his wife had five children:

(a) GERARD [II] (-[Acre] [1190/92]). “Weremundus vicedomini Pinconii” donated property “in montana de feodo meo...territoria Moncellorum, Maisniliorum et Vacariarum” to Lannoy abbey, with the consent of “Flandrina uxor mea, Girardus filius meus, Petrus et Johannes fratres mei”, by charter dated 1179[245]. Vidame d’Amiens. "Girard vidame de Picquigny" confirmed the donation made by "Girard son ayeul, aux malades du val de Picquigny, laquelle Vermond son père a acquittée pendant toute sa vie" by charter dated 1190[246]. The Chronicon Hanoniense names "vice-dominus de Pinkinio" among those who died in Palestine in [1191], presumably at the siege of Acre[247].

(b) ENGUERRAND (-[Jun/Nov] 1224). Vidame d’Amiens. "Enguerrand de Picquigny, vidame d’Amiens" confirmed the donations made to the leprosery of Picquigny by "Gérard l’ancien vidame son ayeul, par Gérard son frère" and founded "une chapellenie à Tansol" for the soul of "Enguerrant de Lully son cousin", by charter dated 1205[248].

- see below.

(c) MARGUERITE . Darsy cites a charter (no date cited) which names "Marguerite, Mathilde et Béatrix" as the daughters of Guermond [III] de Picquigny[249].

(d) MATHILDE . Darsy cites a charter (no date cited) which names "Marguerite, Mathilde et Béatrix" as the daughters of Guermond [III] de Picquigny[250].

(e) BEATRIX . Darsy cites a charter (no date cited) which names "Marguerite, Mathilde et Béatrix" as the daughters of Guermond [III] de Picquigny[251].

ii) PIERRE (-after 1179). Darsy cites a charter dated 13 Feb 1144 which records the burial of Beatrix, wife of Guermond [II] de Picquigny, in the presence of her six children "avec les trois enfants de Gérard..."[252]. “Gerardus vicedominus de Pinconio” settled disputes with Amiens cathedral, with the consent of “filiorum suorum Guermundi primogeniti sui et heredis et Petri”, by charter dated 1176[253]. “Weremundus vicedomini Pinconii” donated property “in montana de feodo meo...territoria Moncellorum, Maisniliorum et Vacariarum” to Lannoy abbey, with the consent of “Flandrina uxor mea, Girardus filius meus, Petrus et Johannes fratres mei”, by charter dated 1179[254].

iii) JEAN (-after 1179). Darsy cites a charter dated 13 Feb 1144 which records the burial of Beatrix, wife of Guermond [II] de Picquigny, in the presence of her six children "avec les trois enfants de Gérard..."[255]. “Weremundus vicedomini Pinconii” donated property “in montana de feodo meo...territoria Moncellorum, Maisniliorum et Vacariarum” to Lannoy abbey, with the consent of “Flandrina uxor mea, Girardus filius meus, Petrus et Johannes fratres mei”, by charter dated 1179[256].

Gérard [I] & his second wife had eight children:

iv) GERARD de Picquigny . Darsy cites charters (he does not cite the dates) which name "Gérard, Enguerran, Thibault, Willaume, Robert, Marguerite, Mathilde et Béatrix" as the children of Gérard [I] de Picquigny by his second marriage[257]. Daire identifies Gérard as “Gérard de Pequigny Seigneur d’Ailly qui épousa Agnès”, and names their son “Jean Seigneur d’Ailly sur Somme” who married “Agnès Dame d’Ailly sur Somme” by whom he had “Enguerran, Thibaut, Guillaume, Robert marié à Ode selon le Nécrologe d’Amiens, Marguerite, Mathilde et Beatrix de Pequigny”[258]. Daire cites no primary sources on which he bases this information, and it appears to duplicate the contradictory information provided by Darsy who, as shown below, names the seven last-named as younger siblings of Gérard.

v) ENGUERRAND de Picquigny . Darsy cites charters (he does not cite the dates) which name "Gérard, Enguerran, Thibault, Willaume, Robert, Marguerite, Mathilde et Béatrix" as the children of Gérard [I] de Picquigny by his second marriage[259].

Darsy cites charters (he does not cite the dates) which name "Gérard, Enguerran, Thibault, Willaume, Robert, Marguerite, Mathilde et Béatrix" as the children of Gérard [I] de Picquigny by his second marriage, adding that the “Cartulaire” (presumably of Amiens) records the death “V Kal Apr” of “Willaume” canon at Amiens[261].

viii) ROBERT de Picquigny . Darsy cites charters (he does not cite the dates) which name "Gérard, Enguerran, Thibault, Willaume, Robert, Marguerite, Mathilde et Béatrix" as the children of Gérard [I] de Picquigny by his second marriage[262].

The primary source which confirms her parentage has not been identified. It is indicated by Darsy who notes a charter dated 13 Feb 1144 which records the burial of Beatrix, wife of Guermond [II] de Picquigny, in the presence of her six children (named with, in the case of the daughters, their husbands, he implies) "avec les trois enfants de Gérard et Manassès de Bulles, frère de Renault"[269]. m ([before 13 Feb 1144]) DREUX [III] de Moncy, son of DREUX [II] de Moncy & his wife Basilie --- (-after 1151).

Enguerrand & his wife had [eleven] children:

1. GUERMOND (-after 1197). “Guermond 1197” is named as oldest son of Enguerrand de Picquigny in Europäische Stammtafeln[281]. The primary source which confirms that this information is correct has not been identified.

"Vicedominus de Pinquigniaco et Aaliz uxor prefati vicedomini et...Petrus de Villamarchaz miles dictus Cambellanus et Ysabel relicta defuncti Ade Cambellani de Villabeum" paid revenue to “prior de Tornanfuie" by charter dated Mar 1244[285]. m firstly LAURE de Montfort, daughter of SIMON [V] Seigneur de Montfort & his wife Alix de Montmorency (-1227 or before). Darsy names "Lore ou Laure de Montfort" as first wife of Gérard [III] de Picquigny, and refers to her testament under which she bequeathed property to Gard convent[286]. If her family origin is correctly stated, the chronology suggests that she was the daughter of Simon de Montfort and his wife Alix de Montmorency. m secondly (before 1243) as her second husband, ALIX de Vierzon Dame de Tournenfuy, widow of GAUTHIER [III] de Villebéon "le Chambellan", daughter of HERVE [II] Seigneur de Vierzon & his second wife Marie de Dampierre (-3 Dec 1245).

The necrology of the Abbaye du Jard records the death "III Non Dec" of "Aaliz quondam vicedomine de Pingquiniaco" and her donation of revenue “in decima de Villabeonis”[289]. Darsy quotes a charter dated 1285 under which [her stepson] Jean de Picquigny names "Aalis de Tourne-en-Faies jadis feme monseigneur mon père"[290]. m thirdly (1246) as her first husband, MATHILDE de Crecques, daughter of ANSEAU [II] Seigneur de Crecques & his wife Beatrix de Guines (-after 1296). The late 13th century genealogy by Balduinus de Avennis records that "Joannes", son of "domino Arnulpho de Audenarde", married secondly "sororem domini Roberti de Cresekes, relictam vicedomini de Pinkengni"[291]. She married secondly (before Sep 1251) as his second wife, Jan Heer van Oudenaarde. “Johannes de Audenarde miles et...Mathildis relicta...Gerardi quondam vicedomini Pinchonii uxor nostra” confirmed a donation to Amiens made by “Eustachius dictus Dyabolus” by charter dated Apr 1252[292].

The Chronicle of Baudouin d’Avesnes records that "Thomas", son of "Thomas dominus de Veruin ex Mathilde primogenita filia comitis de Retest", married secondly "Margaretam vicedomini de Pinkengni filiam"[294]. The chronology indicates the likelihood that Marguerite was born from her father’s first marriage.

E. VIDAMES d’AMIENS, SEIGNEURS d’AILLY et de PICQUIGNY

1. ROBERT d’Ailly (-before May 1363). Seigneur d’Ailly. He was recorded as deceased in the accounts dated May 1363 in which his son Gauthier is named (see below). m firstly ---. Cassiaux states that a charter dated 13 Jun 1413 specifies that Marguerite de Picquigny was her husband’s second wife[346].

Robert & his first wife had one child:

a) ROBERT d’Ailly (-before 20 Jan 1379). The succession of his daughter as Dame d’Ailly indicates that Robert was his father’s oldest son. However, the charter dated 8 Sep 1382 of Marguerite de Picquigny indicates that Robert d’Ailly’s son Gauthier was her first son. Logic dictates therefore that Robert was born from his father’s first marriage. “Robert de Pecquigny chev. Sgr de Maves et de Fossemanant” granted “les chastel et terre du Quesnoy-les-Airaines“, inherited by “sa ditte fille” following the death of “feue la dame de Fluy sa femme, mère de la dite dame d’Ailly”, to “Robert d’Ailly son petit-fils et filleul, fils puisné de la dame d’Ailly sa fille” by charter dated 10 Feb 1358[351]. m MARIE d’Auxy, daughter of --- (-after [1383]).

Caumartin identifies her husband, his first marriage with Marguerite de Conflans (see the document CHAMPAGNE NOBILITY-CENTRAL CHAMPAGNE, MARNE), says that Ogier’s marriage with Catherine was childless, and names her second husband “Jean Sire de Fosseux” (which has not been verified, see the document FLANDERS NOBILITY)[357]. m as his second wife, OGIER [IV] Seigneur d’Anglure, son of OGIER [III] Seigneur d’Anglure & his wife Beatrix d’Essé.

F. SEIGNEURS de BOULAINVILLIERS

Boulainvilliers, now Boulainvillers, is located about 2 kilometres south-west of Hornoy-le-Bourg, about 25 kilometres west of Amiens, in the present-day French département of Somme, arrondissement Amiens.

P. Roger says that “la maison de Boulainvilliers eut sa tige dans celle des sires de Croy...”, noting that “Jean de Croy, seigneur de Clary, le fut aussi de Boulainvilliers dont ses descendants gardèrent le nom”[395]. This supposed Croÿ connection has not been confirmed elsewhere. The reconstruction shown below is an outline only, mainly to show connections to other families in Medieval Lands. Any expansion must await the emergence of more primary source material.

The claim by the Boulainvilliers family to the county of Fauquembergues (see the document NORTHERN FRANCE-ARTOIS BOULOGNE...) requires some explanation. The Marquis de Trazegnies records the early 16th century lawsuit concerning the succession to Fauquembergues, between the competing claimants Adolphe de Bourgogne Heer van Beveren (see the document BURGUNDY DUKES), Jacques d’Ittre (descended from Jeanne de Vertaing, apparent heiress of Fauquembergues) and his brother-in-law Jean de Hun Seigneur de Villers-Poterie, and Charles de Boulainvilliers Vicomte d’Aumâle (see below), who claimed the county by right of his first wife Catherine Havart “lointaine (très lointaine et un peu hypothétique) descendante des Saint-Omer”)[396]. The Marquis de Trazegnies notes that, despite the dismissal of the Boulainvilliers claim, Philippe de Boulainvilliers (son of Charles, see below) “s’intitula toute sa vie ‘comte de Fauquembergues”[397].

The primary source which confirms the information has not been found, although her parents are named in the epitaph of her maternal grandfather at Valmont (see the document NORMANDY NOBILITY-ARQUES AUMÂLE...). Her date of death is indicated by a register of fiefs at La Ferté-en-Bray, dated 1503, which records “ung quart de fief nommé Mainnemare, assis en la paroisse de Saincte-Genevefve...appartenant aux enffans myneurs de deffuncte Catherine Havart, en son vivant damoyselle, fille et héritière en la tierce partie dud.

Comte de Dammartin, de iure uxoris. Kerrebrouck says that Philippe was killed “au siège de Péronne (Somme) 1537” (no source cited)[409]. Wikipedia records the siege of Péronne taking place between 14 Aug and 11 Sep 1536[410]. Noel-Cadet confirms the year 1536, naming Philippe’s parents and recording his killing “en 1536 dans Péronne assiégée par le comte de Nassau” (no source cited)[411].

m (contract 6 Oct 1516) as her first husband, FRANÇOISE d'Anjou, daughter of RENE d’Anjou Baron de Mézières & his wife Antoinette de Chabannes ([1505/10]-[1555/56]).

The birth date of her mother indicates that Françoise was a child at the time of this contract. Ctss de Dammartin. A 16th century memoire records “deffunct messire Philipes de Boulainviller filz de deffunctz messire Philipes de Boullainviller et dame Françoize d’Anjou...conte et contesse dudict Dampmartin...qui fust fille de deffunct messire René d’Anjou seigneur et baron de Mezières et de madame Anthoinette de Chabannes sa femme, qui fust fille dudict feu conte Jehan” and “madame Avoye de Chabannes sa sœur” who married firstly “le seigneur de la Trimoulle” and secondly “deffunct messire Edmond de Prye”[413]. Dame de Courtenay. She married secondly (contract 9 Oct [1537/38?]) as his second wife, Jean [III] de Rambures Seigneur de Rambures, Comte de Guines. Comte de Dammartin, de iure uxoris. The contract for her second marriage is dated “[9 Oct 1534]” (year presumably incorrect in view of the date of death of her first husband)[414]. Françoise is named as deceased in the following document: "Perceval et Anne de Boullainvillier freres, enfans de feus nobles Philippe de Boulainvillier et de Dame Françoise d’Anjou en leur vivant Comte et Comtesse de Dammartin" ceded their rights in the county of Dammartin to “Messire Anne Duc de Montmorency, Pair et Connestable de France” by charter dated 1556[415].

His parentage is not recorded here, but the chronology suggests that he may have been another son of Philippe [III] de Boulainvilliers.]

G. SEIGNEURS de CROY

Croÿ, now Crouy-Saint-Pierre, is situated on the river Somme about five kilometres downstream of Picquigny, in the present-day French département of Somme, arrondissement Amiens, canton Picquigny. A seigneurial family is recorded in Croÿ from the early 13th century, although as shown below it has not proved possible to reconstruct a continuous male line descent before the early 14th century. The family acquired other territories in northern France by marriage: Araine (Airaines, about 10 kilometres west of Picquigny) in the mid-13th century, and Renty (about 20 kilometres west of Montreuil) and Seneghen (Seninghem, about 15 kilometres west of Saint-Omer) in the mid-14th century. Family members were appointed to positions at the French court and in 1435 Antoine [I] Seigneur de Croÿ bought the county of Porcien from Charles Duc d’Orléans, who was raising funds for his ransom from English captivity. Antoine’s younger brother Jean was later installed as Comte de Chimay by Charles Duke of Burgundy. These two branches of the Croÿ family moved their centres of activity to Champagne and Hainaut respectively (for their descendants follow the hyperlinks below to the documents CHAMPAGNE-PORCIEN, RETHEL, GRANDPRE and HAINAUT).

A longstanding tradition, which persists even today in various so-called genealogical websites on the internet, suggests that the Croÿ family was descended from the kings of Hungary. Different documents are contradictory regarding the precise alleged descent, and in any case more detail has been added over the years which is generally a sign that the result should be viewed with caution.

The Wikipedia (French) article “Maison de Croÿ” says that this family legend of Hungarian descent was created in the early 17th century by Jacques de Bye, a historian employed by Charles Alexandre duc de Croÿ who wanted to boost the family’s prestige[431]. Bye’s narrative is confused: in one table he names “Marc de Hongrie frere Andre 3 Roy”, in another “Marcq de Hongrie fils d’Andree troisiesme Roy d’Hongrie ne du premier mariage [wife not named], lequel dechasse de son frere puisne en guerres et dissensions civiles...s’estant retire au Royaume de France...marie a Dame Catherine heritiere des maisons de Croy et D’Arraines...a condition que leurs enfans masles delaissent le nom et armes paternelles de Honguerie [et] porteroient d’oresenavant le nom et armoiries de Croy”, and in a third “Jean Sire de Croy et d’Areines filz aisne du susd. Marcq de Honguerie” who was present in “1214 avec Philippe Auguste Roy de France” at the battle of Bouvines[432]. Bye records all later members of the Croÿ family as descended from Guillaume “deuxiesme filz du fus Marcq de Honguerie et frere au sus. Jean” whose marriage he dates to 1220. Bye’s chronology is inconsistent with the dates of the Hungarian royal family, considering that the birth of András III King of Hungary is estimated to [1265/70] (see the document HUNGARY KINGS). He cites no sources.

The legend in fact predated Bye: a 1486 charter of Emperor Maximilian I, elevating Chimay to principality status, notes “ex illustribus de Croy descendentibus ex vera et legitima progenie seu origine Regum Hungarie”, while another charter dated 1510 records Jacques de Croÿ Bishop of Cambrai “cum et origo nobilitatis tuæ a Serenissimus Regibus Hungariæ originum trahat”[433]. Douxchamps, in his recent article reviewing the question, observed that “on peut s’étonner qu’avant 1486 les Croÿ aient observé un silence ‘fort significatif’ au sujet de leurs origines royales, alors qu’ils auraient eu de très bonnes raisons de s’en prévaloir”[434]. The first details about the alleged descent appear to have emerged with Scohier who, in 1589, addressed his study on the Croÿ family to “Philippes sire de Croy, duc d’Arschot...yssuë des anciens grandz et trespuissantz Roys de Hongrie” and cited documents extracted from “[les] coffres de feu M. Iulian de Haurech Conseiller de V. Excellence à moy exhibez par Iean de Ioncquoit alors Receueur General de V. Excell.” which record the marriage of “Marc de Hongrie avecq Catherine Dame Heritiere d’Araines et de Croy”, noting that “Hues Seigneur d’Araines et de Croy pere de dame Catherine sa fille unicque et heritiere vivoit l’an 1181” and suggesting that “Marc” was the son of István III King of Hungary (who died 1172)[435]. Scohier continued by recording that “M. Iean le Feron” indicated that “Marc” was the son of King András III by his wife “Sibille Cumana (qui n’est vray) au lieu de Thomasse de Mauroc”, although Scohier preferred an alternative possibility that Marc was the brother of András III.

Other documents develop and vary the story further, in particular by introducing “Felix of Hungary” as the supposed older brother of Marc. The published cartulary of Amiens Cathedral includes a series of charters which expands the narrative in a way which is inconsistent with Bye’s account:

· by charter dated Feb 1284 (O.S.) “Marcq de Honguerie chevaliers fiex...Andrieu duc de Honguerie et sire en partie de Croy deseur Somme” donated harvest from “mon champ du Masnil deseur Rokencourt” to Amiens cathedral, with the consent of “Felix de Honguerie mon aisne frere”[436].

· by charter dated 28 Jun 1290 “dame Guigone de le Chambre dame en partie de le tour d’Allevard en Dalphinel...feme veve de feus noble segneur Felix de Honguerie chevalier et aisne fiex...Andrieu duc de Honguerie...le bail de ches trois enfant Antoine, Andrieu et Jehan de Honguerie...meneur d’aage”, assisted by “monsegneur Marcq de Honguerie chevalier sire en partie de Croy deseur Soume et d’Araines et puisne frere de feus segneur Felix”, made payments to “le capitre d’Amiens” according to the testament “de devant dit feus segneur Felix”[437].

· by charter dated 28 Aug 1292 “Marguerite de Sicile feme a mon segneur Charles quens de Valois” notified that “feus noble chevalier Felix de Honguerie notre cousin jadis segneur en partie de Croy deseur Soume et aisne fiex de...prince Andrieu de Honguerie notre...oncle...notre cosin tant par medame Marie de Honguerie notre...mere que par mon segneur Charles roy de Sicile mon...pere” died suddenly “en la flour de son aage...laissant...sa veve avoec trois petis enfans” and that she donated “les dismes...en la vile de Arviler que nous avions achatees du segneur Guis de Chastellon” to Amiens cathedral for the soul of “notre devant dis cosin”[438]. An earlier charter dated 18 Apr 1292, records that “Guis de Chastellon chevaliers” sold “des dismes...en le vile de Arviler” to “Marguerite de Sicile feme a mon segneur Charles quens de Valois”[439], making no mention of Hungary or Croÿ.

These charters are all recorded in the published cartulary as from “Cartulaire VI”, noted in the publication’s introduction as comprising documents “généralement plus récentes” (compared with Cartulaires I to V) and compiled (as noted later) “sans doute au XVIII siècle” (although including some documents written earlier)[440]. The edition provides no commentary on the charters quoted above, but their inconsistency with Scohier and Bye suggests that they were written later. Douxchamps suggested that the charters were “insérées par le...faussaire dans des blancs du 6e cartulaire...qu’il avait sous la main puisque l’un et l’autre sont reliés ensemble” and published photocopies of relevant folios from the original cartulaire VI which show the change in handwriting compared with adjacent documents[441]. Presumably the charters represent an attempt to correct Bye’s chronological errors, although the “correction” was still unsuccessful considering that King András III could not have had adult children in the 1280s.

The alleged Hungarian descent was accepted by later secondary sources, for example Saint-Allais’s early 19th century Nobiliaire Universel de France which says that “cette filiation est rigoureusement prouvée” and quotes in full other documents which expand the story yet further, including an unusually lengthy entry in the necrology of Notre-Dame d’Amiens which commemorates the death of “Felicis Hungarie militis...quondam condomini de Croyaco supra Somonam filii natu majoris...principis Andree Hungarie et domine Sibylle Cumane venetorum”, introducing the name of Felix’s mother[442]. Douxchamps, who reproduces other similar necrology entries, quotes “l’abbé Roze, chanoine honoraire et curé de Tilloy-lès-Conty (Somme)” who, in his critical edition of the cathedral’s necrology, says that “les obits Croÿ-Hongrie sont d’audacieuses interpolations” and, after observing that they do not appear in the necrology collections made in 1638 and 1737, suggests that they were added after the latter date[443]. A mid-19th century work in Hungarian adds even more documents relating specifically to the Crouy-Chanel family (see below), including one supposedly linking to the Dauphiné family of Sassenage (see the document BURGUNDY KINGDOM-VIENNOIS)[444].

The whole matter verges on the surreal with litigation in France during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Germain-Sarrut, writing in the mid-19th century, summarised the legal proceedings which followed a judgment of the Chambre des Comptes de Dauphiné dated 26 Mar 1790 which accepted a claim brought by the Crouy-Chanel family based on their supposed Hungarian descent[445]. The “Crouy-Chanel” were based at “la Tour du Treuil”, a fortress located in the northern outskirts of Allevard (named in the 28 Jun 1290 charter quoted above), about 20 kilometres south-east of Chambéry, in the present-day French département Isère, arrondissement Grenoble, canton Le Haut-Grésivaudan[446]. Presumably on the strength of the 1790 judgment, the family was granted the title “comte...sous le nom de Croy-Chanel de Hongrie” by decree dated 6 Nov 1809[447]. The Croÿ-d’Havré family (whose ancestry is shown below) challenged the Croÿ-Chanel right to the name and arms, arguing that “c’étaient eux qui descendaient des rois de Hongrie”, a challenge which was accepted in part by the Cour royale de Paris 12 May 1821 but led to further appeals and court hearings[448]. Judging from Germain-Sarrut’s summary, the different courts seem never to have questioned the validity of the documentation which was presented to them to “prove” the descent.

It should be noted that Père Anselme makes no mention of the supposed Hungarian descent in his account of the Croÿ family, extracts from which are quoted below. As a final point, reference has been found (dated 8 Nov 2019) to “recent genetic testing of Belgian...Croy” which excluded any Croÿ family descent through the male line from the Arpád dynasty[449]. This statement has not been verified as no other mention of such testing has been found.

1. GILLES de Croÿ (-after 1215). Seigneur de Croÿ. Père Anselme records that “Gilles seigneur de Croy chevalier” donated “les dixmes...sur les terres...à Croy” to “l’abbaie du Gard”, dated 1207, and notes that he was recorded as “homme-lige d’Enguerrand vidame d’Amiens dans un titre de l’abbaie du Gard de l’an 1215”[450].

Three brothers:

1. PIERRE de Croÿ (-after 1224, maybe after 1250). Père Anselme records “un ancien rolle de l’arriereban du comté de Ponthieu” which in 1214 names “Gerard...frere de Pierre et de Radulphe”[451]. Père Anselme records “[un] titre de S. Denis en France” dated 1224 which names “Girard...avec le même Pierre son frere”, and “un [titre] de Pecquigny en 1250” which names Pierre[452], although the time gap between 1224 and 1250 suggests that the latter document may not refer to the same Pierre.

2. RAOUL de Croÿ dit d’Airainess (-after 1214). Père Anselme records “un ancien rolle de l’arriereban du comté de Ponthieu” which in 1214 names “Gerard...frere de Pierre et de Radulphe”[453].

3. GERARD de Croÿ (-after 1224). Père Anselme records “un ancien rolle de l’arriereban du comté de Ponthieu” which in 1214 names “Gerard...frere de Pierre et de Radulphe”[454]. Père Anselme records “[un] titre de S. Denis en France” dated 1224 which names “Girard...avec le même Pierre son frere”[455].

1. ENGUERRAND de Croÿ (-[1270/79]). Papers dated to 1256 record the inquiry into a fire at Amiens cathedral which identified “Injorannus de Croi” as one of the three responsible suspects[456]. Père Anselme names “Enguerrand de Croy chevalier” named “dans un titre de Pecquigny de l’an 1270”, and his seven children named in the same document[457]. m ALIX, daughter of --- (-after 1280). Père Anselme names “Ælis...veuve d’Enguerrand...de Croy chevalier” named in “un titre de l’abbaie du Gard de l’an 1280”, and his seven children named in the same document[458]. Enguerrand & his wife had seven children:

Père Anselme names “Enguerrand de Croy chevalier” named “dans un titre de Pecquigny de l’an 1270”, and his seven children “Gillon...Jean nommé Clercy...Pierre...Willaume...Isabelle femme de Robert de Runcourt chevalier...Marie et Isabelle” named in the same document, with Gilles named as “sire de Croy dans un titre de Pecquigny de l’an 1279”[459].

b) JEAN de Croÿ (-after 1270). Père Anselme names “Enguerrand de Croy chevalier” named “dans un titre de Pecquigny de l’an 1270”, and his seven children “Gillon...Jean nommé Clercy...Pierre...Willaume...Isabelle femme de Robert de Runcourt chevalier...Marie et Isabelle” named in the same document[460].

d) GUILLAUME de Croÿ (-after 1270). Père Anselme names “Enguerrand de Croy chevalier” named “dans un titre de Pecquigny de l’an 1270”, and his seven children “Gillon...Jean nommé Clercy...Pierre...Willaume...Isabelle femme de Robert de Runcourt chevalier...Marie et Isabelle” named in the same document[462].

e) ISABELLE de Croÿ (-after 1270).

1. --- de Croÿ (-after 1302). Seigneur de Croÿ. Père Anselme records that “l’aveu general de Pecquigny rendu par Jean vidame d’Amiens en 1302” records “si tenons l’hommage du seigneur de Croy, qui tient de nous la ville de Croy”[466].

2. BARTHELEMY de Croÿ (-1342). Seigneur de Croÿ. Père Anselme records that “Berthelemieu sire de Croy” divided “la terre de Croy” with the monks du Gard, with the consent of “Marguerite de Pecquigny”, by charter dated 1342[467]. [m (before 1342) MARGUERITE de Picquigny, daughter of --- (-after 1342). Père Anselme records that “Berthelemieu sire de Croy” divided “la terre de Croy” with the monks du Gard, with the consent of “Marguerite de Pecquigny”, by charter dated 1342[468], suggesting that Marguerite was Barthélemy’s wife. Marguerite has not otherwise been identified in the Picquigny family.]

3. BAUDOUIN de Croÿ (-after 1350). Père Anselme records that “Baudouin de Croy” was named “dans un titre de l’abbaie du Gard l’an 1350”[469].

4. JEAN de Croÿ (-[after 1354]). Père Anselme records that “Jean de Croy” was named “en 1254 parmi les écuïers de Ponthieu”[470]. As he is named by Père Anselme after Baudouin de Crécy (see above), it is possible that “1254” should read “1354”.

1. JACQUES [I] de Croÿ (-after 1287). Père Anselme records that “Jacques I Sire de Croy” was living in 1287 “en 1254 parmi les écuïers de Ponthieu”[471]. m MARGUERITE d’Airainess, daughter of ---. Père Anselme records that “Jacques I Sire de Croy” married “Marguerite dame d’Araines”[472].

2. JACQUES [II] de Croÿ (-after 1313). Père Anselme records “Jacques II Seigneur de Croy et d’Araines en 1313” as son of “Jacques I”, without citing any source which confirms this affiliation[473]. Seigneur de Croÿ et d’Airainess. Considering the dates assigned to his supposed son Guillaume, Jacques [II] presumably survived many years after 1313. Another possibility is a missing generation, Guillaume being the grandson of Jacques [II]. m MARIE de Picquigny, daughter of --- de Picquigny [Vidame d’Amiens] & his wife ---. Père Anselme states that Marie was “fille de N. de Pecquigny vidame d’Amiens” and shows her marriage without citing any source which confirms the information[474]. Her precise parentage has not been ascertained, but from a chronological point of view she could have been the daughter of Jean de Picquigny Vidame d’Amiens (although he is already recorded with a daughter named Marie). Jacques [II] & his wife had one child:

a) GUILLAUME de Croÿ (-Mar 1384). Père Anselme records his parentage, notes that he served in the king’s army in 1350, 1354 and 1355 “comme il s’apprend des comptes de Jean Chauvel, trésorier des guerres”, and died in Mar 1384[475]. m (1354) ISABELLE Dame de Renty, daughter of ANDRE Seigneur de Renty & his wife Marie de Brimeu. Père Anselme records that Guillaume de Croÿ married “Isabeau dame de Renty, fille et heritiere d’André seigneur de Renty et de Seneghen, et de Marie de Brimeu” in 1354[476]. Guillaume & his wife had three children:

i) JEAN [I] de Croÿ (-killed in battle Azincourt 25 Oct 1415, bur Saint-Bertin). Père Anselme records his parentage, notes that he was “grand bouteiller de France, chambellan du roi et des ducs Philippe le Hardi et Jean de Bourgogne”, and was killed at Azincourt and buried at Saint-Bertin[477]. Seigneur de Croÿ, de Renty, de Seneghen et d’Airaines. Grand bouteiller de France. m as her second husband, MARGUERITE de Craon Dame de Tour-sur-Marne, widow of BERNARD de Dormans Seigneur de Soupy, daughter of JEAN [I] de Craon Seigneur de Dommart, de Bernarville, de Clacy, de Montsoreau et de Nouâtre & his wife Marie de Châtillon Vidamesse de Laon. Duchesne records her parentage and two marriages[478]. Jean [I] & his wife had children (see Père Anselme for a list of the couple’s other children)[479]. :

- COMTES de CHIMAY.

(c) AGNES de Croÿ . Père Anselme records her parentage and relationship with the duke (no sources cited)[480]. Kerrebrouck records more information about her father, says that “Elle ‘se laissa joyeusement débaucher dans un bal’” (no source cited), notes her brother Jean de Croÿ Comte de Chimay, and that Agnès died “célibataire”[481]. Mistress of JEAN "Sans Peur" Duke of Burgundy, son of PHILIPPE II "le Hardi" Duke of Burgundy & his wife Marguerite III Ctss of Flanders (Dijon 28 May 1371-murdered Pont-de-Yonne 10 Sep 1419, bur Dijon).

iii) MARIE de Croÿ . Père Anselme records her parentage, her marriage, and that her husband was living in 1373. m MATHIEU de Fontenay, son of --- (-after 1373).

H. SEIGNEURS d’ENCRE

The medieval town of Encre is now called Albert, about 30 kilometres north-east of Amiens and about the same distance south-west of Bapaume, in the present-day French département of Somme. The Continuatio Valcellensis of Sigebert's Chronica records in 1115 that “Balduinus comes Flandriæ” captured “castrum Encres” from “Hugone Camdavena”, who had usurped it, and granted it to “Karolo consobrino suo”[483].

1. HUGUES d’Encre (-1139). He is named in the source quoted below which records his marriage. No primary source has yet been found which names him in his own capacity. Burchgraeve van Gent, de iure uxoris. m (1139) as her first husband, ALIX van Gent, daughter of SIGER [I] Burchgraeve van Gent & his wife --- (-before 1154). A charter dated 1139 records that "miles nobilis…Hugo de Inkers" married "filiam Sigeri castellani Gandensis…Aliciam" and donated property to Afflighem[484]. She married secondly (before 8 Aug 1145) Steppo van Viggezele. A charter dated 1154 records that "dominus Steppo" married "uxorem eius…Aliciam" after the death of "Hugone de Inkers" and donated property to Afflighem[485].

2. BAUDOUIN d’Encre . He is named in the source quoted below which records his marriage. No primary source has yet been found which names him in his own capacity. m (after 1145) as her third husband, MARGUERITE de Clermont, widow firstly of CHARLES Count of Flanders, and secondly of HUGUES [III] “Candavène” Comte de Saint-Pol, daughter of RENAUD [II] Comte de Clermont-en-Beauvaisis & his first wife Adelais Ctss de Vermandois [Carolingian] ([1104/05]-after 1145). The Vita Karoli Comitis Flandriæ names "nobilem puellam Margaretam, Reinaldi comitis Clarmontensis filiam" as wife of Count Charles, specifying that the marriage took place before his accession[486]. It is assumed that Marguerite was born soon after her parents' marriage as her mother was already nearly 40 years old at the time. The De Genere Comitum Flandrensium, Notæ Parisienses refers to (but does not name) the daughter of "comes de Claromonte" and his wife Adela, specifying that she married firstly Charles Count of Flanders, secondly "Hugo Champdaveine…comes Sancti Pauli" by whom she had "Radulfus Champdaveine et Guod Champdaveine", and thirdly "dominus Balduinus de Encra" by whom she had "domini Galteri de Helli"[487]. The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis refers to, but does not name, the daughter of "comes Rainaldus [de Claromonte]" and his wife Adelaide as the wife of "comes Karolus Flandre"[488]. It is assumed that Marguerite was born soon after her parents' marriage as her mother was already nearly 40 years old at the time. Baudouin & his wife had one child:

a) GAUTHIER de Heilly . The De Genere Comitum Flandrensium, Notæ Parisienses refers to (but does not name) the daughter of "comes de Claromonte" and his wife Adela, specifying that she married thirdly "dominus Balduinus de Encra" by whom she had "domini Galteri de Helli"[489].

3. EUSTACHE d’Encre (-before 1197). m MARIE d’Amiens, daughter of ENGUERRAND Vidame d’Amiens & his wife Marguerite de Ponthieu (-after 1197). “Marie 1197” is named as oldest daughter of Enguerrand de Picquigny, with her husband “Eustache d’Encre 1197†”, in Europäische Stammtafeln[490]. The primary source which confirms that this information is correct has not been identified.

I. SEIGNEURS de HANGEST

Hangest-en-Santerre is located in the canton of Moreuil, south-east of Amiens, in the present-day French département of Somme. A junior branch of this family were seigneurs de Genlis, whose name was changed to Villequier-Aumont in the 18th century and which is located just north of Chauny and south-east of Ham, and was previously in the county of Vermandois[491].

Two brothers:

1. FLORENT [I] de Hangest (-Acre [1190/91]). "...Florentius de Hangest et Albertus frater eius…" are named among the arbitrators in a charter dated 1190 which records the settlement of a dispute with Ourscamp concerning "molendini de Salice"[492]. Roger of Hoveden names “...Florentius de Angest...” among those who died at the siege of Acre[493]. The Chronicon Hanoniense names "Florentius de Hangest" among those who died in Palestine in [1191], presumably at the siege of Acre[494]. m ---. The name of Florent’s wife is not known. Florent & his wife had [two] children:

a) [JEAN [I] de Hangest (-[1190/1202]). Père Anselme names "Jean seigneur de Hangest [...vivoit en 1190]...Aubert de Hangest" as the two sons of Florent [I] de Hangest but cites no primary source which confirms the statement[495]. He adds that Jean [I] founded “la chapelle de S. Martin de Hangest”. Seigneur de Hangest et d’Avesnecourt.] m HELISENDE, daughter of --- (-after 1202). "Florentio Juveni de Hangest" donated land “in maresco inter novam calceiam ante Davenescurt...” to Compiègne Saint-Corneille, at the request of "matris sue Helessendis, Auberti militis de Hangest avunculi eiusdem Florentii", by charter dated 1202[496]. Père Anselme says that, in relation to Jean [I], "on lui donne pour femme Helisende, et selon d’Autres Gode des Preaux, dame d’Avesnecourt, fondatrice du prieuré d’Avesnecourt" but cites no primary source which confirms either statement[497]. Jean [I] & his wife had [three] children:

i) FLORENT [II] de Hangest (-after May 1226). Père Anselme names "Florent seigneur de Hangest II du nom...Jean d’Hangest seigneur d’Avesnecourt" as the two sons of Jean [I] de Hangest but cites no primary source which confirms the statement[498]. Seigneur de Hangest et d’Avesnecourt. "Florentio Juveni de Hangest" donated land “in maresco inter novam calceiam ante Davenescurt...” to Compiègne Saint-Corneille, at the request of "matris sue Helessendis, Auberti militis de Hangest avunculi eiusdem Florentii", by charter dated 1202[499]. The Scripta de Feodis of King Philippe II record “Florencium de Hangest” among the fiefholders of “Odo de Han...de baronia de Ham”[500]. “Florentius de Hangest” confirmed the sale made by “Joannes de Rosoy” by charter dated May 1226[501]. m ---. The name of Florent’s wife is not known. Florent [II] & his wife had one child:

(1) [FLORENT [III] de Hangest (-before 1254). Seigneur de Hangest et d’Avesnecourt. Père Anselme names "Florent seigneur de Hangest et d’Avesnecourt III du nom" as the son of Florent [II] de Hangest, adding that he made donations “à la maladerie d’Avesnecourt et mourut sans postérité avant 1254”[502].]

ii) [JEAN [II] d’Hangest (-after 1264). Père Anselme names "Florent seigneur de Hangest II du nom...Jean d’Hangest seigneur d’Avesnecourt" as the two sons of Jean [I] de Hangest but cites no primary source which confirms the statement[503]. Seigneur de Hangest et d’Avesnecourt.

- see below.

iii) --- de Hangest . The Chronicon Hanoniense of Baudouin d’Avesnes records that "conte Jehan de Soissons...monseigneur Raoul son frere" married firstly "la roine de Chyppre...ainsnee fille le roi Henri d’Acre" (garbled) and secondly “la fille monseignour Jehan de Hangest...[in one manuscript] qui fus peres monsigneur Aubert” by whom he had “une fille qui fut hoirs de sa terre”[504]. Goethals records that Jean Seigneur de Roye married “l’héritière de Hangest”, who married secondly “Raoul de Soissons Sire de Cœuvres”, without citing any source which confirms this information[505]. The primary source which confirms this supposed first marriage has not been identified. [m firstly JEAN Seigneur de Roye, son of RAOUL Seigneur de Roye & his wife ---.] m RAOUL de Nesle, son of RAOUL de Nesle Comte de Soissons & his second wife Yolande --- (-[1272]).

Père Anselme names "Jean seigneur de Hangest [...vivoit en 1190]...Aubert de Hangest" as the two sons of Florent [I] de Hangest, in a later passage “il est cru fils puiné de Florent seigneur de Hangest”[506]. He cites no primary source which confirms his statement. However, his parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 1202 under which [his nephew] "Florentio Juveni de Hangest" donated land “in maresco inter novam calceiam ante Davenescurt...” to Compiègne Saint-Corneille, at the request of "matris sue Helessendis, Auberti militis de Hangest avunculi eiusdem Florentii"[507]. Seigneur de Genlis et de Neuville-le-roi.

Père Anselme names "Florent seigneur de Hangest II du nom...Jean d’Hangest seigneur d’Avesnecourt" as the two sons of Jean [I] de Hangest but cites no primary source which confirms the statement[509]. He adds that Jean [II] settled a dispute with the inhabitants of Avesnecourt concerning a donation made by Gode des Preaux, which was confirmed by Louis IX King of France in 1258, and confirmed the donations made by “son neveu Florent seigneur de Hangest...à la maladerie d’Avesnecourt” in 1264. Seigneur de Hangest et d’Avesnecourt.

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

Jean [II] & his wife had [one child]:

1. [JEAN [III] de Hangest (-killed in battle Courtrai 11 Jul 1302). The Exercitus Fuxensis Index Primus, dated 1272, names “milites...Johannes [de] Hangesto” among “homines feodales...in ballia Viromandensi...Mons Desiderii”[510]. Seigneur de Hangest et d’Avesnecourt. "Jehans sire de Hangest" confirmed the donation of land "inter villam de Waescort...et villam de Greuni" made to Ourscamp by “Perron Wignon de Goiencourt escuier” by charter dated Jul 1287[511]. Père Anselme states that Jean [III] confirmed an exchange of property with Compiègne Saint-Corneille by charter dated 1287[512]. The Chronique Artésienne records “mesires Jehans de Hangest” among those killed at the battle of Courtrai 11 Jul 1302[513].] m JEANNE de la Tournelle, daughter of RAOUL Seigneur de la Tournelle & his wife Beatrix de Saint-Sauflieu. Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage[514]. Jean [III] & his wife had one child:

a) RORICON de Hangest (-[1352]). Seigneur de Hangest et d’Avesnecourt. A document of the Parlement de Paris dated 4 Jan 1337 records that “les héritiers et exécuteurs testamentaires de Dreu de Roye chevalier” were ordered to guarantee “Rogue sire de Hangest chevalier et Aubert son fils écuyer” relating to claims against “[les] fidéjusseurs d’Aubert de Narcy chevalier, mort avant d’avoir exécuté les engagements qu’il avait contractés conjointement avec son frère Pierre envers le roi de Bohème”, noting that “ces charges avaient été transmises par la veuve d’Aubert de Narcy à son second mari Dreu de Roye” after whose death she had married “en troisièmes noces Rogue de Hangest, tandis que sa fille se mariait avec Aubert fils de Rogue”[515]. Maréchal de France 1352. m firstly ISABELLE de Montmorency, daughter of MATHIEU [IV] Seigneur de Montmorency & his second wife Jeanne de Levis (-bur Avesnecourt Notre-Dame). m secondly ([1334?]) as her third husband, ALIX de Garlande, widow firstly of AUBERT Seigneur de Narcy and secondly of DREUX [II] de Roye, daughter of [JEAN [III] de Garlande Seigneur de Possesse & his wife Agnes ---] (-after 1343). Her three marriages are confirmed by the document dated 4 Jan 1337 quoted above under her husband. Père Anselme names her as daughter of Jean [II] de Garlande Seigneur de Possesse[516]. However, given the likely birth dates of her children by her second husband, this suggestion seems impossible if the birth date of Jean [II]’s wife is correctly estimated to [1240/51]. It seems more likely that Alix was the daughter of Jean [III]. This is the solution adopted by Europäische Stammtafeln, although the relevant table ignores her first two marriages[517]. An order of the Parlement de Paris dated 1343 relates to the claim by “Rogue sire de Hangest, chr, mari d’Alix de Possesse, veuve en première noces d’Aubert de Marcy, et en secondes noces de Dreu de Roye” against “Gilles, châtelain de Douai, chr, et Colard, châtelain de Beauvais, écr, et leurs femmes, filles et héritières de feu Dreu de Roye, chr”[518]. Roricon & his first wife had two children:

AUBERT [II] de Hangest, son of FLORENT [I] de Hangest & his wife --- (-after 1202). Père Anselme names "Jean seigneur de Hangest [...vivoit en 1190]...Aubert de Hangest" as the two sons of Florent [I] de Hangest, in a later passage “il est cru fils puiné de Florent seigneur de Hangest”[519]. He cites no primary source which confirms his statement. However, his parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 1202 under which [his nephew] "Florentio Juveni de Hangest" donated land “in maresco inter novam calceiam ante Davenescurt...” to Compiègne Saint-Corneille, at the request of "matris sue Helessendis, Auberti militis de Hangest avunculi eiusdem Florentii"[520]. Seigneur de Genlis et de Neuville-le-roi.

m COMTESSE, daughter of ---. Père Anselme names her as wife of Aubert [II], adding that she gave her consent to a donation to Beauvais Saint-Lucien made by her husband by charter dated 1188[521].

Aubert [II] & his wife had one child:

1. AUBERT [III] de Hangest (-[after Mar 1231]). Philippe II King of France granted “villam...Pons-sancti Petri” to “fideli nostro Alberto de Angesto et heredi suo masculo de uxore sua desponsata” by charter dated 1204[522]. The Scripta de Feodis of King Philippe II record “dominus Aubertus d’Enges[t]” holding “medietatem Pontis Sancti Petri et de Romelliaco et de Pitres et de foresta de Longo Bouello de rege” in “feoda de ballivia Rothomagensi”, “Aubertus de Hangesto” holding “Genli...et Guivencort et...medietatem bosci Oignois”[523]. "Aubertus de Hangest et Ricardus Heldols milites" were named as arbitrators in a charter dated May 1215 which records a dispute between Compiègne Saint-Corneille and "Johannem de Cosduno militem et Hugonem filium eius" concerning “justicia ville de Mares”[524]. “...Alberto de Hangest...” is named as present in a charter of “Johannes comes Bellimontis” dated 1222[525]. ["Aubertus de Hangest miles" confirmed the donation to Compiègne Saint-Corneille made by "Rainerius d’Estalons filius Alberici Croisset militis et Florencia uxor eius" by chartrer dated Mar 1231[526]. It is not certain whether this charter relates to Aubert [III] or his son Aubert [IV].] m [BEATRIX de Châtillon, daughter of GAUCHER [III] Seigneur de Châtillon-sur-Marne Comte de Saint-Pol & his wife Elisabeth Ctss de Saint-Pol (-1233, bur Genlis Sainte-Elisabeth). Du Chesne records her marriage and states that she and her husband founded the abbey of Sainte Elisabeth de Genlis where she was buried, citing in his Preuves only a communication "par le sieur Hozier" stating that “Aubert de Hanest Seigneur de Genly fils puisné de Messire Florent Seigneur de Hangest et de Genly espousa Dame Beatrix de Chastillon seur d’Ysabeau femme de Messire Raoul de Coucy” and reporting their foundation and burial[527]. This statement is inaccurate concerning the wife of Raoul de Coucy. It is not known whether it is accurate concerning Aubert de Hangest and his wife. Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage, but names her Elisabeth, also without citing any primary source[528].] Aubert [III] & his wife had [one child]:

a) [AUBERT [IV] de Hangest (-before 1259). Père Anselme records Aubert [IV] as the son of Aubert [III] but without citing any primary source[529]. Seigneur de Genlis. ["Aubertus de Hangest miles" confirmed the donation to Compiègne Saint-Corneille made by "Rainerius d’Estalons filius Alberici Croisset militis et Florencia uxor eius" by charter dated Mar 1231[530]. A list of knights participating in a tournament at Compiègne in Jun 1238 includes “...Ambiers de Hangest...”[531]. It is not certain whether these documents relate to Aubert [III] or his son Aubert [IV].] m as her first husband, MARIE de Roye, daughter of RAOUL de Roye Seigneur de la Ferté-en-Ponthieu & his wife Marie de Ville (-13 Mar ----). She married secondly ([before 1259]) Bouchard [VIII] Comte de Vendôme. The executors of “domini Auberti de Hangesto” claimed against “comitem Vindocinensem” for “dotalicio comitisse uxoris sue” dated 1260[532]. She married thirdly ([15 May/9 Dec] 1271) Jean de Vieuxpont Seigneur de Courville. Her third marriage is confirmed by the necrology of Saint-Nicolas de Courville which records the death “V Non Mai“ of "dominus Johannes de Veteriponte miles junior” and his donation for the anniversaries of “patris et matris eiusdem necnon et domini Yvonis condam fratris sui” made “Curveville in castello...in presencia nobilis domine domine de Vindocino domine de Curvavilla uxoris eiusdem...anno LXXI die mercurii post Concepcionem beate Marie Virginis” [1270/71][533]. A charter dated 1272 records a judgment against “B. comitem Vindocinensem” and after his death “dominam Mariam comitissam Vindocinensem, ratione liberorum suorum” relating to the capture of four men in the land of Sentier priory[534]. The necrology of Vendôme La Trinité records the death "V Non Mar" of "Maria comitissa"[535]. The necrology of Saint-Nicolas de Courville records the death “III Id Mar“ of "Marie domine de Curveville condam comitisse Vindocinensis et matris Yvonis domini Curveville militis” and the donation for whom of “annui redditus super preposituram Curveville, ad festum beati Remigii”[536]. Aubert [IV] & his wife had three children:

i) MARGUERITE de Hangest (-after 1 Apr 1285). Richemond states that the older sister of Aubert [V] married “Jean de Wallencourt”, adding that both sisters disputed the inheritance of their father with their brother[537]. “Iehans Sires de Waulaincourt et...Margerite Demisiele de Waulaincourt femme au devant dit Iehan” sold property to Cambrai Saint-Aubert by charter dated Jul 1273[538]. In 1273, “Johannes de Wallencuria et eius uxor” agreed that part of the succession of “defuncto domino Auberto de Hangesto patre ipsius domicelle”, as “filiabus suis legata”, should be paid to “Auberto de Hangesto fratri domicelle predicte”[539]. Jean Seigneur de Walincourt declared that “Baudouin de Dours son père, jadis chevalier et seigneur de Walincourt” had for a long time held land at Walincourt which he now donated to the hospital at Walincourt, with the consent of “Marguerite sa femme”, by charter dated 3 May 1281[540]. A charter dated 1 Apr 1285 is sealed by “Marg--- de Waullaincourt”[541]. m (before Jul 1273) JEAN [II] de Dours Seigneur de Walincourt, son of BAUDOUIN de Dours Seigneur de Walincourt & his wife Jeanne --- (-Sep [1291/93]).

ii) AUBERT [V] de Hangest (-after 1297). Père Anselme records Aubert [V] as the son of Aubert [IV], adding that his stepfather won a lawsuit against him in 1281 regarding the execution of contracts agreed between them[542].

- see below.

iii) LAURE de Hangest (-after 1280). Richemond names Laure as younger sister of Aubert [V], adding that both sisters disputed the inheritance of their father with their brother[543]. “Domicelle Lore de Hangesto sororis sue” claimed against “Auberti de Hangesto militis” for “maritagio ipsius domicelle” in 1280[544].

AUBERT [V] de Hangest, son of AUBERT [IV] de Hangest Seigneur de Genlis & his wife Marie de Roye (-after 1297). Père Anselme records Aubert [V] as the son of Aubert [IV], adding that his stepfather won a lawsuit against him in 1281 regarding the execution of contracts agreed between them[545]. The Exercitus Fuxensis Index Primus, dated 1272, names “armigeri..Aubertus de Hangesto” among “homines feodales...in ballia Viromandensi...Calriacum”[546]. “Aubiers de Hangiest chevaliers sire de Genli” confirmed an exchange of property made by “Pieron de Saint-Aubin” by charter dated Mar 1284[547]. Richemond records that Aubert resolved a dispute between Jean d’Avesnes and the citizens of Valenciennes in 1296, and in 1297 was sent by Philippe IV King of France with Jacques de Saint-Paul to negotiate an agreement with the citizens of Douai, commenting that Aubert’s son Aubert [VI] would have been too young at that time to have undertaken these missions[548].

m ([1275]) [ELEONORE] de Villebéon, daughter of GAUTHIER [IV] de Villebéon, Seigneur de Tournenfuye, de Heuqueville et de Fontaine-Guérart & his wife Eléonore de Melun. 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”[549]. 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”[550]. Père Anselme names “Isabelle de Tancarville dame de Fontaines, fille de Guillaume sire de Tancarville, chambellan de Normandie” as the wife of Aubert [V][551]. Richemond explains that this error presumably resulted from a misinterpretation of the documentation relating to the 1281 lawsuit, which names Aubert’s father-in-law “G. Cambellanus” which Anselme took to refer to the chamberlain of Normandy, especially as the dowry consisted of land inherited by his father-in-law’s paternal grandmother (Isabelle de Tancarville daughter of Guillaume de Tancarville and his wife Alix de Serans)[552].

Aubert [V] & his wife had one child:

1. AUBERT [VI] de Hangest (-[17 Aug 1328/1329], bur Genlis). A charter dated Aug 1305 records a settlement between Ourscamp and "monseigneur Aubert de Hangest chevalier seigneur de Genli" concerning various properties[553]. A list of convocations, dated 15 Jul 1317, names “Vermandois...à Montdidier: ...Aubert de Angest...”[554]. A list of convocations, dated 5 Feb 1319 (N.S.), names “Vermandois: Monseigneur Aubert de Angest” and dated 25 Mar 1319 (N.S.) “...Monseigneur Aubert de Angest...”[555]. m firstly ---. The name of Aubert’s first wife has not been identified. The fact of this first marriage is confirmed by the chronology of Aubert’s oldest son Aubert (see below). m secondly (Papal dispensation 10 Jun 1302) as her second husband, AGNES de Bruyères, widow of RENAUD [II] Seigneur de Dargies, daughter of JEAN de Lèves Seigneur de Bruyères-le-Châtel & his wife Eustachie de Lévis (-before 1329). According to Père Anselme, the wife of Renaud [II] de Dargies and Aubert [VI] Seigneur de Hangest was “Agnes de Bruyères...sœur de Thomas seigneur de Bruyères” but he cites no primary source which confirms his statement[556]. Richemond says that she was “fille de Jean de Bruyères et d’Eustachie de Lévis ou de Lesves, et veuve de Robert d’Argies” (no primary source cited)[557]. Her parentage is presumably based on the charter dated Jul 1319 which records that [her daughter] “J^ne d’Argiès, fille de Renaut d’Argiès, C^tsse de Soissons, veuve de Jⁿ de Clermont chev.” sold “la terre de Puyvert“ to “Thomas de Bruyères son oncle et à Isabeau de Melun sa femme”[558]. Carolus-Barré suggests a connection with the seigneurs de Châtillon-sur-Marne as her first husband called Gaucher de Châtillon [presumably identified as Gaucher [V] de Châtillon Comte de Porcéan who in 1295 was married to his first wife Isabelle de Dreux] “fratrem meum” in his second testament[559]. In contemporary sources “fratrem” can sometimes mean brother-in-law as well as brother, but is unlikely to indicate a more remote relationship. However, if Agnes had been a sister of Gaucher [V] she would have been related to her second husband by consanguinity, whereas the dispensation quoted below only refers to the affinity relationship between her two husbands. Other possible relationships are through Renaud [II]’s mother, as discussed above. The Papal dispensation for the marriage of “nobili viro Auberto de Hangesto milite” and “nobli muliere Agnete domina de Dargies”, because “quondam Reginaldus de Dargies olim vir predicte Agnetis” was related by 4^o affinity to “ipsi Auberto”, is dated 10 Jun 1302[560]. Agnes died before 1329 when her children by her second marriage sued her children by her first marriage for a share in her succession[561]. Aubert [VI] & his first wife had two children:

a) AUBERT [VII] de Hangest ([after 1295?]-29 Sep 1338, bur Genlis). His parentage and betrothal are confirmed by the report of the kidnapping of his first betrothed. The date of his betrothal means that Aubert must have been born from a first marriage of his father, his marriage presumably being arranged by his stepmother who was the mother of Jeanne de Dargies. Considering the estimated marriage date of his paternal grandfather, Aubert [VII] must have been younger than his proposed bride and was maybe still a child at the time of the betrothal. Seigneur de Genlis. Betrothed ([1304]) to JEANNE de Dargies, daughter of RENAUD [II] Seigneur de Dargies et de Catheux & his wife Agnes de Bruyères ([1290]-[Sep 1333/22 Feb 1337]). Boutaric records that “le comte de Soissons avait enlevé et épousé la fille du sire de Dargies, fiancée à Aubert d’Hangest, fils d’un favori du roi” and that King Philippe IV requested Pope Clement V to confirm the marriage[562]. Given the Pope’s appointment 5 Jun 1305, the event must have taken place in early 1305. [m firstly ---. This possible first marriage is suggested considering Aubert [VII]’s likely date of birth, which would mean that his known marriage in 1335 would be late for a first marriage.] m [secondly] (contract 20 Nov 1335) as her first husband, JEANNE de Joinville Dame de Rimaucourt, daughter of ANSEAU Seigneur de Joinville & his first wife Laura von Saarbrücken (-after 10 Jan 1345). "Jean de Hangest chevalier frère et héritier d’Aubert de Hangest" sold property to Philippe VI King of France, saving revenue for "Jeanne de Joinville veuve d’Aubert", by charter dated Nov 1338[563]. "Le duc de Normandie fils du roi de France" granted compensation to "Anseau de Joinville" for “la garde du fils de feu Aubert de Hangest seigneur de Genlis son gendre” by charter dated 1338[564]. She married secondly (before 1344) Jean de Noyers Comte de Joigny. The Parlement of Paris ordered "Henri de Joinville" to pay "à sa sœur Jeanne comtesse de Joigny veuve d’Aubert de Hangest" the sum due “au jour de la rédaction du contrat de mariage de Jeanne avec Aubert de Hangest seigneur de Genlis...daté du 20 novembre 1335” from the succession of “Anseau de Joinville” by charter dated 10 Jan 1344[565]. Aubert & his [second] wife had one child:

i) --- de Hangest ([1336/37]-[1338]). "Le duc de Normandie fils du roi de France" granted compensation to "Anseau de Joinville" for “la garde du fils de feu Aubert de Hangest seigneur de Genlis son gendre” by charter dated 1338[566]. It is not clear from this extract whether Aubert’s son was deceased at the time, but presumably he must have died around [1338] as Aubert’s brother was named as Aubert [VII]’s heir.

b) JEAN de Hangest (-[1340/23 Jul 1348]). His absence from the 1329 lawsuit brought by his brother Mathieu and sister Eléonore suggests that Jean was born from his father’s first marriage. Seigneur de Genlis et de Magny. "Jean de Hangest chevalier frère et héritier d’Aubert de Hangest" sold property to Philippe VI King of France, saving revenue for "Jeanne de Joinville veuve d’Aubert", by charter dated Nov 1338[567]. Père Anselme records that he “servit en l’Ost de Bouvines l’an 1340, avec un chevalier et 10 écuyers” (no source citation)[568]. Jean presumably died before 23 Jul 1348, when two of his sons are named as noted below. m MARIE de Vignement, daughter of ---. Père Anselme records her marriage (no source cited)[569]. Jean & his wife had five children:

i) AUBERT de Hangest (-killed in battle Brignais, near Lyon 1361). Père Anselme records his parentage, noting that he was pardoned 23 Jul 1348 and 1360 for maintaining security “en la forteresse de Genlis”, and was killed “à la bataille de Brignais près Lyon l’an 1361” (no source citations)[570]. Seigneur de Genlis, de Gondrecourt et de la Taule. m ADA de Mailly, daughter of GILLES [III] de Mailly Seigneur de Mailly et d’Acheu & his second wife Perronne de Raineval ([1346/47?]-after 23 Nov 1409). Follow her hyperlink for discussion about her parentage and marriages. She married secondly ([1361/62]) Jean [II] de Nesle Seigneur d’Offémont. She married thirdly (before 1 Nov 1391) as his second wife, Guy [II] de Laval Seigneur d’Attichy et de Chantilly.

ii) JEAN de Hangest (-after 4 Jun 1390). Père Anselme records his parentage, suggesting that he was the same person as “chevalier seigneur de Genly” who issued a receipt for payments dated 26 Jun 1371, recording that he was named “chambellan du roi” in the king’s charters dated 6 May 1383 and 17 Jan 1388, and was also named in documents dated 5 Mar 1389 and 4 Jun 1390[571]. Seigneur de Genlis.

iii) MATHIEU de Hangest (-after 1397). Père Anselme records his parentage, noting that he was named 23 Jul 1348 with his brother Aubert, was recorded as serving with the army Sep 1357, 1364, Aug 1383, and 1389, and “vivoit encore en 1397” (no source citations)[572]. Seigneur de Genlis, de Magny et de Fresnoy. m JEANNE de Soyecourt Dame de Merlcourt, daughter of GILLES de Soyecourt Seigneur de Moy & his wife Agnes de Thianges Dame de Vallery. Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage, noting that she received her share in her parents’ succession in 1371 (no source citations)[573].

- SEIGNEURS de GENLIS[574].

iv) AUBERT de Hangest dit le Flamenc (-after 1399). Père Anselme records his parentage, noting that he was recorded in army service 1378, 1379, 1380, and 1383, and “vivoit encore en 1399” (no source citations)[575]. Seigneur de Fresnoy. m JEANNE de Heilly, daughter of --- (-1373 or before). Père Anselme records her family origin and marriage, noting that she “étoit morte dès l’année 1373” and that the couple died childless (no source citations)[576].

v) YOLANDE de Hangest ). Père Anselme records her parentage, marriage, and marriage date (no source citations)[577]. m (1344) as his first wife, MATHIEU [II] Seigneur de Roye et de Germigny, son of JEAN [II] Seigneur de Roye & his wife [--- de Thourotte-Offemont].

Aubert [VI] & his [first/second] wife had [one child]:

c) [JEANNE de Hangest . Dame de Beaulieu. Richemond shows her parentage in a genealogical table[578]. He does not cite the source on which he bases this information, but he has presumably copied Père Anselme who names “Jeanne de Hangest, dame de Beaulieu, dont l’alliance est ignorée” as daughter of Aubert [VI] (no source cited)[579]. Assuming that the information is correct, Jeanne’s absence from the 1329 lawsuit brought by her supposed brother Mathieu and sister Eléonore suggests that either she was born from her father’s first marriage or, if she was the daughter of his second wife, that she died before 1329 without direct heirs.]

Aubert [VI] & his second wife had two children:

d) MATHIEU de Hangest (-before 1331). Seigneur de la Taule. Père Anselme records Mathieu’s participation in the 1329 lawsuit of his sister Eléonore[580]. m as her first husband, MARIE de la Bove, daughter of --- (-after 1347). She married secondly ([1333]) Jean de Villesçavoir. Père Anselme records that she “étoit remariée en 1333 à Jean de Villesçavoir” and that in 1347 “comme tutrice de ses enfans” [presumably by her first marriage] claimed against “les héritiers de la comtesse de Soissons” (no sources cited)[581]. This second lawsuit presumably arose out of the same family dispute which triggered the 1329 lawsuit in which her first husband was involved.

- SEIGNEURS de la TAULE.

e) ELEONORE de Hangest (-after 1336). Père Anselme says that Eléonore was the daughter of Aubert [VI] and that she sued “la comtesse de Soissons et la dame de Barbançon” [daughters of Aubert [VI]’s second wife by her first marriage] in 1329 for the succession of “sa mère” and in 1336 the bishop of Noyon[582]. Margry provides more details, recording that “Eléonore de Hangest Genlis”, whom he calls widow of “Raoul le Flamenc VI seigneur de Canny” (clearly misidentified considering his death at Courtrai in 1302), “conjointement avec Mathieu de Hangest-Hugueville son frère” sued “la Comtesse de Soissons et la Dame de Barbanson” in 1329 relating to “la succession de Dame Agnès de Bruyères leur mère”[583]. Richemond says that Eléonore was the daughter of Aubert [V] and his wife [Eléonore] de Villebéon[584]. He cites no source to corroborate this information, which he bases on the chronological impossibility of the death in 1302 of the husband of a daughter of Aubert [VI]. He does not consider the more likely explanation that Eléonore’s husband was misidentified by Père Anselme. No primary source has yet been identified which helps to identify Eléonore’s husband precisely. The dates of Eléonore’s birth and marriage are estimated based on her parents’ marriage in Jun 1302. Père Anselme, in one of his numerous references to the lawsuit involving Eléonore, notes that her brother Mathieu’s widow “comme tutrice de ses enfans” made a follow-up claim in 1347[585]. Anselme makes no mention either of Eléonore de Hangest, or of any of her children, participating in that 1347 claim. If Mathieu’s widow acted alone at that time, it is probable that Eléonore predeceased her and had that she had died childless. m ([1315] or after) --- le Flamenc [Seigneur de Canny], son of --- (-before 1329, maybe before 1324).]

J. SEIGNEURS de RAINEVAL

Raineval, now known as Mailly-Raineval, is located about 15 kilometres south-east of Amiens in the present-day French département of Somme, arrondissement Montdidier, canton Ailly-sur-Noye. The information in the following reconstruction is based on Père Anselme[586], although his account is shown as incomplete or inaccurate in several points of detail, especially dating, by the sources which are cited below.

Two possible siblings:

1. RAOUL de Raineval (-before 1300). Seigneur de Raineval et de Pierrepont. Père Anselme names him as father of Jean [I] and says that he died “avant 1300” (no source cited)[587]. La Chesnaye-Desbois names “Raoul” as father of “le Sire de Raineval…” [=Jean [I] Seigneur de Raineval] who promised [his brother-in-law] “Eustache de Conflans Seigneur de Mareuil…d’asseoir sur ses terres de Vermandois et de Flandre, ce qui avoit été donné à sa sœur, par son père Raoul, et légué par l’Evêque de Beauvais, leur oncle maternel” by charter dated Jan 1306 (O.S.?) (no source citation)[588]. No other primary source reference has been found which names Raoul. Père Anselme does not explain how the Raineval family acquired the seigneurie de Pierrepont, which was earlier held by the family which inherited the county of Roucy (see the document NORTHERN FRANCE-LAON, COUCY, ROUCY, SOISSONS), assuming that it was the same “Pierrepont”. m ---. The primary source which confirms the identity of Raoul’s wife has not been found. Père Anselme names her “N--- de Nanteuil” (no source cited)[589]. La Chesnaye-Desbois agrees, adding that she was “sœur de Thibaut de Nanteuil, évêque de Beauvais, Comte et Pair de France” (no source cited)[590], for whom see the document PARIS REGION-CLERMONT & DAMMARTIN. In a later passage, he records that “le Sire de Raineval…” [=her son Jean [I] Seigneur de Raineval] promised [his brother-in-law] “Eustache de Conflans Seigneur de Mareuil…d’asseoir sur ses terres de Vermandois et de Flandre, ce qui avoit été donné à sa sœur, par son père Raoul, et légué par l’Evêque de Beauvais, leur oncle maternel” by charter dated Jan 1306 (O.S.?) (no source citation)[591]. This accuracy of La Chesnaye-Desbois’s summary has not been verified as the original charter has not been found, but presumably “oncle maternel” represents the translation of the Latin “avunculus”, which could indicate a more remote family relationship than uncle, including for example the mother’s first cousin. Raoul & his wife had two children:

a) JEAN [I] de Raineval (-after 22 Nov 1325). Père Anselme records his parentage (no source cited)[592]. Seigneur de Raineval et de Pierrepont.

- see below.

b) [ISABELLE] de Raineval . The genealogy of the Conflans family, written in [1350], records that “messires Eustasses”. oldest son of “Eustasses, fils du connestable” and his wife “la fille le comte de Soissons”, married firstly “[la] fille au seigneur de Rayneval” by whom he had “une fille qui mourut josne”[593]. Père Anselme names “Isabeau de Raineval” as the daughter of Raoul Seigneur de Raineval, and dates their marriage to “1306” (no sources cited)[594]. The date is consistent with the estimate birth date of her husband. La Chesnaye-Desbois records that “le Sire de Raineval son beau-frère” promised “Eustache de Conflans Seigneur de Mareuil…d’asseoir sur ses terres de Vermandois et de Flandre, ce qui avoit été donné à sa sœur, par son père Raoul, et légué par l’Evêque de Beauvais, leur oncle maternel” by charter dated Jan 1306 (O.S.?) (no source citation)[595]. m ([1306]) as his first wife, EUSTACHE [V] de Conflans Seigneur de Mareuil, son of EUSTACHE [IV] de Conflans Seigneur de Mareuil & his wife --- de Soissons ([1280/90]-[1335/43]).]

2. [MARIE de Raineval (-1 Dec 1270, bur Blainville). Père Anselme says that Raoul Seigneur de Raineval “peut avoir pour sœur Marie de Raineval, femme de N. de Mauquenchy seigneur de Blainville, morte le lendemain de S. André de l’année 1270, enterrée en l’église de la paroisse de Blainville”, noting that “Jean de Mauquenchy dit Mouton son petit-fils fonda un service en l’église de Blainville en 1335” (no source citations)[596]. Père Anselme names her husband in another section and shows details of his family[597]. His information has not been verified against primary sources. m JEAN [I] de Mauquenchy Seigneur de Blainville, son of [GUERARD de Mauquenchy [Seigneur de Blainville] & his wife ---].

JEAN [I] de Raineval, son of RAOUL Seigneur de Raineval & his wife --- (-after 1325). Père Anselme records his parentage (no source cited)[598]. Seigneur de Raineval et de Pierrepont. Père Anselme records documents dated 1289, 20 Feb 1296, 1297, 1298 and 11 Dec 1299 which record his military service in Gascony, 1300 and 1301 in Flanders, and other sources naming him in Paris 29 May 1305, 1314, 1318, Dec 1318 and 22 Nov 1325 (no source citations)[599].

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

Jean [I] & his wife had [three] children:

1. JEAN [II] de Raineval (-after 1329). Père Anselme records his parentage, and documents dated 22 Nov 1325 (with his father), 22 Dec 1327, 1328, and 1329 in which he was named (no source citations)[600]. La Chesnaye-Desbois records that the 22 Nov 1325 document recorded his claim “conjointement avec son père” against “les Hommes de Montdidier” (no source citation)[601]. Seigneur de Raineval et de Pierrepont. m ([1323]) ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Jean’s wife has not been identified. La Chesnaye-Desbois names her “Barbe d’Ongnies…nièce de Jean d’Ongnies, Comte de Chaulnes, Lieutenant-Général des Armées du Roi” and dates their marriage 1323 (no source cited)[602]. This date is consistent with the suggested birth date of the couple’s daughter Perronne, and also with Jean’s successor Guillaume being his brother not his son, as indicated below. Jean [I] & his wife had one child:

a) PERRONNE de Raineval ([1325/30?]-after 1367). Père Anselme records her parentage and two marriages, citing sources dates Nov 1348 (“un différend…contre Guillaume sire de Raineval”, no record found in Furgeot’s collection of Actes du Parlement de Paris 1343-1350), 1361, 1362, 1365 and 1367 (“contre Marguerite de Friencourt dame de Mailly [wife of “Gilles [IV] Seigneur de Mailly”] et ses enfants”[603]) in which she was named (no source citations)[604]. Her birth date is estimated from the estimated birth dates of her daughters. Dame du Mesnil 1361. m firstly ([1340/45?]) [as his second wife,] RASO [I] de Montignies-Saint-Christophe, son of JEAN [I] de Montignies Seigneur de Montignies-Saint-Christophe & his wife Maria van Gavre ([1295/1300?]-killed in battle Staveren 26 Sep 1345). m secondly (1345 or after) [as his second wife,] GILLES [III] de Mailly Seigneur de Mailly et d’Acheu, son of [JEAN [I] de Mailly Seigneur de Mailly & his wife Jeanne de Coucy] (-[after 1346]). Père Anselme names “Gilles III seigneur de Mailly” (named in documents dated between 1322 and 1341) as Perronne’s husband, and Ada (supposed daughter of Perronne by this marriage) as daughter of his son Gilles [IV][605]. The Mailly family has not been studied for Medieval Lands, but the chronology of Anselme’s reconstruction suggests some uncertainties: the most likely possibility appears to be that Perronne was the late second wife of Gilles [III], by whom he only had Ada who is shown below, and Marguerite de Friencourt (sued by Perronne, see above) was the widow of Perronne’s stepson Gilles [IV]. Presumably the doubts about Perronne’s second husband would be clarified if the documents relating to her lawsuits (see above) could be found. Perronne & her first husband had one child:

i) [ISABELLE] de Montignies ([1340/45?]-after 25 Sep 1397). Père Anselme records “Isabeau de Montigny, fille unique et héritière de Wast seigneur de Montigny en Picardie” as wife of “Jean seigneur de Maignelais dir Tristan…”[606]. It is likely that “madame de Montigny”, named by Dom Villevieille in the following extract, was Perronne’s daughter by her first husband[607]: a charter dated 25 Sep 1397 records that “Flavy (Raoul sgr de) et de Basentin comme mary de madame Blanche de Néelle” held “la moitié de la terre d’Acheu de l’abbaye de Corbie” and that “ladite dame devoit jouir après la vie de madame de Montigny et de madame Ade de Mailly dame d’Offemont”[608]. m [as his second wife?] JEAN de Maignelais dit Tristan Seigneur de Maignelais, son of RAOUL [I] de Maignelais dit Tristan Seigneur de Maignelais & his wife --- (-[31 Jan 1376/1378])). Père Anselme records his parentage, details of his career (with mentions dated 12 Nov 1337, Aug 1354, 3 Aug 1355, 6 Jul-20 Sep 1356, Sep 1357, 12 Nov 1361, Jul 1363, May 1364, and 31 Jan 1376), suggests that he died “en 1378”, and sets out this couple’s descendants[609]. His dates, compared with [Isabelle]’s suggested birth date suggest the possibility that she was his second wife. Anselme also shows this couple’s granddaughter Catherine de Maignelais as mother of Agnès Sorel, mistress of Charles VII King of France.

Perronne & her second husband had one child:

ii) ADA de Mailly ([1346/47?]-after 23 Nov 1409). Père Anselme records Ada as the daughter of “Gilles de Mailly seigneur d’Acheu et de Peronne de Rayneval”, and in another place as the daughter of Gilles [IV] Seigneur de Mailly & his wife Marguerite de Friencourt (no sources cited)[610]. The explanation for this confusion has not been found, although the dates attributed to the husband of Ada’s supposed half-sister [Isabelle] are consistent with both Isabelle and Ada being the daughters of Perronne. The dates of her mother’s first husband’s death and of Ada’s second marriage, as well as the chronology of Ada’s children by her second husband, suggest her own estimated birth date. Her family origin is indicated by the arms of [her grandson] Hector de Flavy, shown in the [1455] Armorial Le Breton, which shows Mailly alongside Raineval in the third row (on his mother’s side)[611]. An epitaph at Ourscamp records the burial of “Jehan de Neelle segneur d’Offemont et de Mello filz de feu...Guy de Nelle jadis mareschal de France...” who died 1 Nov 1388 and of “Adde de Mailly jadis feme du dit feu...Jehan de Neele et d’Offémont” who died 1400 [date incorrect][612]. Père Anselme records that Ada “plaidoit en 1362 et 1363” with her second husband against the brothers of her first husband for her dower (no source citations)[613]. A charter dated 25 Sep 1397 records that “Flavy (Raoul sgr de) et de Basentin comme mary de madame Blanche de Néelle” held “la moitié de la terre d’Acheu de l’abbaye de Corbie” and that “ladite dame devoit jouir après la vie de madame de Montigny et de madame Ade de Mailly dame d’Offemont”[614]. A charter dated 23 Nov 1409 records an agreement between “Adde de Mailly dame d’Offemont vefve de feu monsgr Guy de Laval en son vivant seignr d’Atechy de Noytel et de la Malemaison” and “madame Jehanne de Neelle sa fille vefve de feu mss Guy de Laval en son vivant chevalier et sgr desdits lieux fils d’icelui monsgr Guy”[615]. m firstly AUBERT de Hangest Seigneur de Genlis, son of JEAN [I] de Hangest Seigneur de Genlis et de Magny & his wife Marie Dame de Vignemont (-killed in battle Brignais near Lyon 1361). m secondly ([1361/62]) JEAN [II] de Nesle Seigneur d’Offémont, son of JEAN de Nesle Seigneur d’Offémont & his [second] wife Marguerite de Mello ([1343/45?]-1 Nov 1388, bur Ourscamp). m thirdly (before 1 Nov 1391) as his second wife, GUY [II] de Laval Seigneur d’Attichy et de Chantilly, son of GUY [I] de Laval Seigneur de Coynel et de Méry [en Picardie] & his wife --- (-after 1398).]

2. [GUILLAUME de Raineval ([before 1300?]-[5 Jul 1357/16 Feb [1362/63]] or after late-Jan [1365/66]). Père Anselme records Guillaume as the son of Jean [II] Seigneur de Raineval[616]. However, Guillaume’s suggested birth date (estimated on the assumption that he was recently married when his wife was first named in 1325, see below) is more compatible with Jean [I] being his father. If that is correct, his 1348 lawsuit against Perronne de Raineval (see above) would be explained if she were his niece and had been passed over in the succession of her father (Jean [II]) because she was a child when he died, leaving outstanding family differences between the two. Seigneur de Raineval et de Pierrepont.]

- see below.

3. [BEATRIX de Raineval (-after 1325). Père Anselme says that “on croit” that Beatrix was the daughter of Jean [I] de Raineval, records her marriage with “Saucet de Bauçay, chevalier”, and notes that she was living in 1325 (no sources cited)[617]. La Chesnaye-Desbois records Béatrix as the daughter of Raoul Seigneur de Raineval (which seems unlikely from a chronological point of view) and names her husband “N--- de Saucet-de-Bauçay” (no source cited)[618]. m --- de Saucet de Bauçay, son of ---.]

GUILLAUME de Raineval, son of [JEAN [I] Seigneur de Raineval et de Pierrepont & his wife ---] ([before 1300?]-[5 Jul 1357/16 Feb [1362/63]] or after late-Jan [1365/66]). Père Anselme records Guillaume as the son of Jean [II] Seigneur de Raineval[619]. However, Guillaume’s suggested birth date (estimated on the assumption that he was recently married when his wife was first named in 1325, see below) is more compatible with Jean [I] being his father. If that is correct, his 1348 lawsuit against Perronne de Raineval (see above) would be explained if she were his niece and had been passed over in the succession of her father (Jean [II]) because she was a child when he died, leaving outstanding family differences between the two. Seigneur de Raineval et de Pierrepont. “Raineval (Willaume Sire de) chevalier, Ade dame de Raineval et de Foulloy et Raoul de Raineval chevalier leur fils Seigr de Pierrepont” donated land “au chapitre de Foulloy” to build a house for the poor by charter dated 15 Mar 1356 (O.S.?)[620]. “Raineval (...Guillaume de) messire Raoul de Raineval son fils et héritier chevaliers et madame Ade femme dudit Guillaume seigneurs et dame fonciers dudit lieu” consented to the expansion of their church by “le chapitre de Foulloy” by charter dated 5 Jul 1357[621]. Guillaume presumably died before the 16 Feb 1362 (O.S.?) charter cited below in which his son is named Seigneur de Raineval. On the other hand, Père Anselme records his presence “au contrat de mariage de sa petite-fille en 1365”, presumably relating to the late-Jan 1365 (O.S.?) marriage contract of his granddaughter Ada de Raineval (no source citation)[622]. The explanation for this anomaly has not been fopund, unless Guillaume resigned his seigneurie during his lifetime in favour of his son Raoul.

m (1325 or before) ADA Dame de Fouilloy, daughter of --- (-after 5 Jul 1357). Père Anselme names her (no source cited)[623]. “Rayneval (damoiselle Adde damselle de Foulloy femme de Willaume de)” issued a charter dated 1325 relating to “les deux fiefs qu’elle tenoit à Foulloy”[624]. “Raineval (Willaume Sire de) chevalier, Ade dame de Raineval et de Foulloy et Raoul de Raineval chevalier leur fils Seigr de Pierrepont” donated land “au chapitre de Foulloy” to build a house for the poor by charter dated 15 Mar 1356 (O.S.?)[625]. “Raineval (...Guillaume de) messire Raoul de Raineval son fils et héritier chevaliers et madame Ade femme dudit Guillaume seigneurs et dame fonciers dudit lieu” consented to the expansion of their church by “le chapitre de Foulloy” by charter dated 5 Jul 1357[626].

Guillaume & his wife had [three or more] children:

1. RAOUL de Raineval (-1393). His parentage is confirmed by the 15 Mar 1356 (O.S.) and 5 Jul 1357 documents cited below. Père Anselme records his military service in Picardy and Normandy 1350, 1351 and 1352 under “le duc de Bourbon et le sire de Charny” (no source citations)[627]. “Raineval (Willaume Sire de) chevalier, Ade dame de Raineval et de Foulloy et Raoul de Raineval chevalier leur fils Seigr de Pierrepont” donated land “au chapitre de Foulloy” to build a house for the poor by charter dated 15 Mar 1356 (O.S.?)[628]. “Raineval (...Guillaume de) messire Raoul de Raineval son fils et héritier chevaliers et madame Ade femme dudit Guillaume seigneurs et dame fonciers dudit lieu” consented to the expansion of their church by “le chapitre de Foulloy” by charter dated 5 Jul 1357[629]. Seigneur de Raineval et de Pierrepont. A charter dated 16 Feb 1362 (O.S.?) records homage sworn by “Gilles de Saipeval écuyer...” to “Raineval (...Seigneur Monseig. Raoul de)” as “mari de madame Margueritte de Péquigny dame de Péquigny”[630]. Grand pannetier de France: “Rayneval (noble homme messire Raoul de) chevalier Seigr de Pierrepont pannetier de France” granted “tout ce qu’il tenoit en fief de l’abbaye de Corbie” to “Walleran de Rayneval son fils aîné” by charter dated 28 Jul 1367[631]. Vidame d’Amiens, Seigneur de Picquigny, de iure uxoris: “Raineval (…Raoul de) chevalier Sire de Pierrepont pannetier de France vidame d’Amiens et Sire de Pequigny et madame Margueritte dame de Raineval vidamesse d’Amiens dame de Pequigny” compensated “l’abbey du Gard” for incursions by charter dated 1371[632]. “Raineval (Raoul Sire de) chevalier pannetier de France” donated property “au chapitre de Foulloy” for “feu monseigr Willaume Seigr de Raineval son père, feue madame Ade dame de Raineval sa mère, feue madame Philippe de Luxembourg sa femme…luy même et pour...Waleran son fils” by charter dated 15 Jan 1375 (O.S.?)[633]. “Raineval (Raoul Seigneur de) chevalier et dame Ysabelle de Guines-Coucy sa femme fille d’Aubert de Guines-Coucy chevalier” sold property “que ledit Aubert leur avoit cédée en mariage” to the king by charter dated Feb 1387 (O.S:?)[634]. In addition to the sources cited above, Père Anselme records documents dated Jul 1358, May 1359, 20 Nov 1359, 17 Sep 1360, 1363, 1364, end-1367, Aug 1368, 9 Aug 1371, Jan 1372, 1373, May 1376, Apr 1377, Dec 1377, 1379-80, Apr 1381, 1382, 20 Nov 1383, Nov 1385, 13 Feb-29 Mar 1385, 12 Sep 1386, 1388, Mar 1391, 12 Jan 1392 in which he was named, indicating that he died “à quelque temps de-là”[635]. The primary source which confirms his date of death has not been identified. m firstly (contract 19 Nov 1350) PHILIPPA de Luxembourg, daughter of JEAN de Luxembourg Seigneur de Ligny & his first wife Alix de Flandre (-before 14 Oct 1359). The marriage contract between "monsieur Raoul de Raineval fils de monsieur Guillaume seigneur de Raineval" and “madamoiselle Philippe fille de monsieur Iean de Lucembourg chastellain de Lille” is dated 19 Nov 1350 and provides land “en Touraine et sa seigneurie de Brueil” as dowry[636]. m secondly ([29 Jul 1357/14 Nov 1359]) as her third husband, MARGUERITE de Picquigny Vidamesse d’Amiens, Dame de Picquigny, widow firstly of JEAN de Roucy Seigneur de Pierrepont and secondly of GAUTHIER de Noyers Seigneur d’Eclaron, daughter of RENAUD de Picquigny Vidame d’Amiens & his wife Jeanne d’Eu (-after 4 Mar 1377). Her parentage and first and second marriages are confirmed by the charter dated 27 Dec 1329 under which Gauthier de Noyers agreed her dower from her first husband with Robert Comte de Roucy[637]. A charter dated 16 Feb 1362 (O.S.?) records homage sworn by “Gilles de Saipeval écuyer...” to “Raineval (...Seigneur Monseig. Raoul de)” as “mari de madame Margueritte de Péquigny dame de Péquigny”[638]. “Raineval (…Raoul de) chevalier Sire de Pierrepont pannetier de France vidame d’Amiens et Sire de Pequigny et madame Margueritte dame de Raineval vidamesse d’Amiens dame de Pequigny” compensated “l’abbey du Gard” for incursions by charter dated 1371[639]. m thirdly (before Feb [1387/88]) ISABELLE de Coucy Dame de Dronay, daughter of AUBERT de Coucy Seigneur de Dronay & his wife Jeanne de Villesavoir (-1413). “Raineval (Raoul Seigneur de) chevalier et dame Ysabelle de Guines-Coucy sa femme fille d’Aubert de Guines-Coucy chevalier” sold property “que ledit Aubert leur avoit cédée en mariage” to the king by charter dated Feb 1387 (O.S:?)[640]. “Rayneval (Ysabelle de Conty dame de) et du [Cordonnoy] veuve de feu noble…Raoul Seigr de Rayneval…mere et tutrice de Jean de Rayneval son fils” swore homage to the king for “son château de Péronne la terre et seigneurie de Froismantel” by charter dated 20 Sep 1398[641]. “Raineval (madame veuve de feu monseigneur de)...la tutelle de Jean et Aubert de Raineval freres enfans d’elle et dudit feu Seigr de Raineval” issued a charter dated Sep 1399[642]. A register of the Parlement de Paris dated 1412 records "Ioanna de Haricuria et Guillelmus de Couciaco miles eius filius, dominus de Montemirabili, necnon Ysabellis de Couciaco domina de Tronayo”[643]. A register of pleadings at the Parlement dated 1413 records a lawsuit between “Madame Jeanne de Harcourt et Messire Guillaume de Coucy chevalier son fils” and “Messire J. de Raineval chevalier fils et heritier de Madame Ysabel de Coucy sa mere n’aguere trespassée”[644]. Raoul & his first wife had five children:

a) VALERAN de Raineval (-before 24 Jun 1406). “Rayneval (noble homme messire Raoul de) chevalier Seigr de Pierrepont pannetier de France” granted “tout ce qu’il tenoit en fief de l’abbaye de Corbie” to “Walleran de Rayneval son fils aîné” by charter dated 28 Jul 1367[645]. Seigneur de Fouilloy. Seigneur de Raineval et de Fluy. Comte de Fauquembergues, as successor to his maternal aunt Jeanne de Luxembourg: accounts dated “à la St Jean” 1386 record that “Raineval (monseigr Walleran de)” had succeeded “feüe madame Jeanne de Luxembourg sa tante comtesse de St. Pol et de Fauquembergh” in “lade comté de Fauquemberghe tenüe du [châtelain] de St Omer”[646]. He is recorded as deceased in the accounts dated “à la St Jean” 1406 cited below under his son-in-law. Père Anselme records that he died at Azincourt[647], which is disproved by this 1406 document. m (before 6 Mar [1373/74]) JEANNE de Varennes, daughter of JEAN Seigneur de Varennes, de Vinacourt et de la Broye & his wife Isabelle de Walincourt (-before 30 Sep 1399). A charter dated 6 Mar 1373 (O.S.?) records homage sworn to “Raineval (…monseigr Waleran de) chevalier Seigr de Foulloy, de Varennes et à cause de madame sa femme héritière de la terre de Vinacourt” by “damelle Jeanne de Ferieres” for her fiefs[648]. Her family origin and marriage are confirmed by a register of the Parlement de Paris dated 1408 relating to the lawsuit brought by “Guillelmus de Estoutevilla dominus de Blainvilla ac Joanna de Dondeauvilla de Novionno eius uxor” against “Walerannus de Raynavalle miles comesque de Fauquenbergue, tam suo quam executorio nominibus defunctæ Joannæ de Varennis eius uxoris necnon…Balduinus d’Arly vicedominus Ambianensis et Joanna de Raynavalle eius uxor heres dicæ defunctæ de Varennis eius matris”[649]. She is named as deceased in her son’s 30 Sep 1399 document cited below. Valéran & his wife had two children:

i) RAOUL de Raineval (-before 1403). His parentage is confirmed by the 1404 document quoted under his wife and the 1408 document quoted under his mother. Seigneur de Varennes. Accounts dated 30 Sep 1399 record that “Raineval (noble homme monseigneur Raoul de) chevalier Seigr de Varennes et de Forceville” succeeded “de feüe noble dame Jeanne de Varennes sa mère dame de Varannes et de Raineval”[650]. m as her first husband, JEANNE de Doudeauville Dame de Garences, de Ponches, de Nouvion et de Caumartin, daughter of JEAN “Mansart” du Bois Seigneur de Raincheval [Fiennes] & his wife Jeanne de Créquy ([1380/85?]-[after 14 Feb 1451?]). Père Anselme records her parentage and two marriages[651]. Her Bois/Fiennes family origin is confirmed by the 4 Jul 1444 marriage contract of her daughter (by her second marriage) Jeanne. She married secondly ([1403?]) as his second wife, Guillaume d’Estouteville, who later succeeded as Seigneur de Torcy et de Blainville. The age of her son Colart (by her second marriage) recorded in 1420 suggests the date of her marriage. A register of the Parlement de Paris dated 1404 records a lawsuit brought by “Guillelmus de Estoutevilla dominus de Blainvilla ac Joanna de Dondeauvilla eius uxor” against “Nicolaum de Dondeauvilla dictum Gadifer scutiferum”, relating to the successions following the death 30 Nov 1343 of “defunctus Ioannes dominus de Dondeauvilla” leaving children “Ioannem, Nicolaum supradictum, Balduinum et Joannem dictum Gauvain” and the death 26 Apr 1383 of “Joannes de Dondeauvilla miles primogenitus” leaving “Joanna supradicta filia eius sola”, noting that the latter married firstly “Radulpho de Raineval filio Walerandi de Raineval militis” by whom she had an only son who died “post patrem in minori ætate” and secondly “Guillelmo præfato”[652]. Europäische Stammtafeln records that she died “1449†”[653]. However, a charter dated 2 Feb 1450 (O.S.?), connected with the marriage contract of her daughter Michelle, records promises made “feu Messire Guillaume d’Estouteville son…pere et par Madame sa mere, soit par lez de testament ou autrement”[654], in which her mother is not “feue”, in contrast to her father, suggesting that she may have been living at the time. Raoul & his wife had one child:

(a) son (-[1403/04]). He is referred to in the 1404 document quoted above under his mother, which notes that he died after his father while still a minor.

ii) JEANNE de Raineval (-[before 4 Jan 1413 or after 6 Aug 1416]). A charter records that “Damoiselle Jne d’Arly damoiselle de Foulloy et de l‘Etoile” succeeded to property in the succession of “feue Madame Jne de Raineval sa mère, dame de Raineval et femme du Vidame d’Amiens“ on 4 Jan and 15 Feb 1412 (presumably O.S.) and that “Mgr Raoul d’Arly Sgr de Varennes et de Raineval“ succeeded to Varennes and the mairie of Forceville “de la d^e Dame sa mère“[655]. On the other hand, a charter dated 6 Aug 1416 records that "Madame Jeanne de Montmorency dame de Meraucourt et de Tronay veuve de feu messire Jean de Raineval chevalier seigneur de Meraucourt et de Tronay” settled a dispute with “...la Dame de Heilly heritiere dudit feu seigneur de Meraucourt”[656]. Presumably one or other of these documents is misdated. m (1406) BAUDOUIN d’Ailly dit Beaugeois Vidame d’Amiens, son of ROBERT Seigneur d’Ailly & his second wife Marguerite de Picquigny (-[18 Apr/3 Dec] 1415). Accounts dated “à la St Jean” 1406 record that “Raineval (monseig. le vidame d’Amiens à cause de noble dame madame Jeanne sa femme fille de feu messire Waleran de) comte de Fauquemberghe” succeeded Valéran in his fiefs[657].

b) RAOUL [Raoulequin] de Raineval (-after 3 Aug 1379). Père Anselme records his parentage, noting that “acquit la terre de Cardonay, don’t le Roi lui donna les lots et ventes le 29 juillet 1372, en considération des bons services de son père…” and records documents dated 1373, Oct 1375, 26 Dec 1378, and 3 Aug 1379 in which he was named (no source citations)[658]. Seigneur de Cardonnay.

c) JEAN de Raineval (-after 1406). Père Anselme records his parentage, noting that he was executor of the testament of “Jeanne de Varennes dame de Raineval”, and was named in 1406 in a legal dispute between “Guillaume d’Estouteville sire de Blainville” and “Baudouin d’Ailly dit Baugeois mari de Jeanne dame de Raineval” (no source citations)[659].

Père Anselme records her parentage, marriage, her date of death and that of her husband, and their epitaphs in “l’église des Jacobins de Beauvais” (no source citations)[660]. m GUILLAUME Châtelain de Beauvais, son of COLART Châtelain de Beauvais & his wife Marguerite de Roye (-31 Jul 1390, bur Beauvais église des Jacobins).

e) ADA de Raineval (-1391 or before). Père Anselme records her parentage, marriage, and marriage contract, noting that “elle étoit morte en 1391” (no source citations)[661]. m (contract late-Jan 1365 (O.S.?)) JACQUES Seigneur d’Heilly et de Pas, son of ---.

Raoul & his third wife had two children:

f) JEAN de Raineval (-killed in battle Azincourt 25 Oct 1415). “Rayneval (Ysabelle de Conty dame de) et du Cordonnoy] veuve fe feu noble…Raoul Seigr de Rayneval…mere et tutrice de Jean de Rayneval son fils” swor homage to the king for “son château de Péronne la terre et seigneurie de Froismantel” by charter dated 20 Sep 1398[662]. “Raineval (madame veuve de feu monseigneur de)...la tutelle de Jean et Aubert de Raineval freres enfans d’elle et dudit feu Seigr de Raineval” issued a charter dated Sep 1399[663]. “Raineval (Jean de) écuyer fils et héritier de feu monseigneur de Raineval” was paid a certain sum “la quittance de...madame Ysabelle de Coucy sa mère” by charter dated 24 May 1402[664]. Seigneur de Méraucourt, de Coudun et de Dronay. A register of pleadings at the Parlement dated 1413 records a lawsuit between “Madame Jeanne de Harcourt et Messire Guillaume de Coucy chevalier son fils” and “Messire J. de Raineval chevalier fils et heritier de Madame Ysabel de Coucy sa mere n’aguere trespassée”[665]. Père Anselme records that he sued “Marie de Coucy dame de Droisy sa tante en 1409”, was present 28 Nov 1413 “à l’emancipation de Jeanne d’Ailly sa petite-nièce”, and that he died at Azincourt (no source citations)[666]. m JEANNE de Montmorency, daughter of --- (-after 6 Aug 1416). "Madame Jeanne de Montmorency dame de Meraucourt et de Tronay veuve de feu messire Jean de Raineval chevalier seigneur de Meraucourt et de Tronay” settled a dispute with “...la Dame de Heilly heritiere dudit feu seigneur de Meraucourt” by charter dated 6 Aug 1416, the reverse naming “monsieur de Roye mary de Madame de sainte Beuve tutrice de ladite dame de Meraucourt”[667]. The parentage of Jeanne is uncertain. Europäische Stammtafeln, in the same table, records “as her second husband, JEANNE de Montmorency, widow of ROBERT de Hellande Seigneur de Hellande-en-Caux et de Lamberville, daughter of JEAN [II] de Montmorency Seigneur de Beausault et de Breteuil & his wife Isabelle de Nesle”, noting that her first husband was named “1393/1404”, and “m ([13 Sep 1401]) JEANNE de Montmorency, daughter of HUGUES de Montmorency Seigneur de Beausault et de Breteuil & his wife Jeanne d’Harcourt”[668]. The births of the children of Jean [II] de Montmorency can be dated to [1350/70]: a second marriage of one of his daughters with Jean de Raineval (whose parents’ marriage is dated to “before 1387”, see above) would be surprising considering the age difference. On the other hand, the note on the reverse of the 6 Aug 1416 charter cited above indicates that Jeanne was then under the guardianship of Catherine de Montmorency, daughter of Hugues de Montmorency, which could be consistent with her being of advanced age at the time. Turning to Hugues de Montmorency as Jeanne’s possible father, the date “(13 Sep 1401)” for her marriage is early considering the likely date of birth of Jean de Raineval. Another perspective is provided by Père Anselme who records that Robert de Hellande was named in letters dated 23 Mar 1413 and was “vivant...peut-être encore en novembre 1415”, although deceased 18 Dec 1415[669]. If that is correct, the possibility of his widow’s remarriage with Jean de Raineval appears excluded. It appears therefore that Jean’s wife was the daughter of Hugues de Montmorency/Beausault, whatever the age difference between husband and wife.

g) AUBERT de Raineval (-killed in battle Azincourt 25 Oct 1415). “Raineval (madame veuve de feu monseigneur de)...la tutelle de Jean et Aubert de Raineval freres enfans d’elle et dudit feu Seigr de Raineval” issued a charter dated Sep 1399[670]. “Raineval (messire Aubert de) chevalier bachelier ” is named in a document dated 23 Feb 1408 (O.S.?)[671]. Seigneur de Bétencourt. Père Anselme records that he was “présent en 1413 à l’emancipation de sa petite-nièce [Jeanne d’Ailly]” and that he died at Azincourt (no source citations)[672]. La Chesnaye-Desbois names Aubert as ancestor of “[une] seconde branche [de la famille] établit en Hollande…prouvée 1^o sur les titres, produits devant M. Dorieu, Intendant de Soissons, Commissaire nommé par le Roi, ainsi qu’il paroît par son Ordonnance du 20 janvier 1669; 2^o par une enquête…passée à Rosoy en Thiérache le 3 janvier 1707…”, and records his supposed descendants titled “Marquis de Raineval” and “Comte de Raineval et de Fauquemberghe” until the late 18th century[673]. If this information is correct, it is unclear why the descendants of Aubert’s niece Jeanne (wife of Baudouin d’Ailly, see above) succeeded as seigneurs de Raineval.

2. MARGUERITE de Raineval (-before 1373). Père Anselme names “Marguerite de Raineval fille aînée de Guillaume sire de Raineval”, noting that the latter granted “les terres de Lambersart, de la Motte et de Montraux en la châtellenie de Lille” to her on the marriage of his son, and adding that she may have married “Robert seigneur de Freauville chevalier qui plaidoit comme son exécuteur testamentaire contre Raoul sire de Raineval en 1373”[674]. [m ROBERT Seigneur de Freauville, son of --- (-after 1373).]

3. [daughter(s) . Guillaume had other daughters if Père Anselme correctly identifies Marguerite as “[sa] fille aînée” (see above).]

Chapter 2. COMTES de MONTREUIL

1. HELGAUD, son of --- (-[866]). Abbé de Saint-Riquier. The Chronique de Saint Riquier records that "le comte Helgaud" succeeded "Rodolphe…du sang imperial" as lay abbot of Saint-Riquier and that he was succeeded by "Guelfon…du sang royal"[675]. "Rodolphe" is identified with Rudolf Comte de Sens, brother of Empress Judith, who died in 866, and "Guelfon" as Rudolf's son. This casts doubt on the chronology of this passage as, if the relationship between Rudolf and Welf is correctly identified, it is likely that the son succeeded the father as lay abbot as such a post was often hereditary. same person as…? HELGAUD (-after 879). Flodoard records "terra filiorum Balduini, Rodulfi quoque de Gangeio atque Hilgaudi" in 925[676]. Comte de Montreuil 877-879. It is probable that Helgaud, abbé de Saint-Riquier, and his son Herluin are in fact the same people as Helgaud Comte de Montreuil 877-79 and his son Herluin who died in 945, and that the Chronique de Saint-Riquier is inaccurate in its chronology relating to the supposedly earlier father and son of these names. m ---. The name of Helgaud's wife is not known. Helgaud & his wife had one child:

a) HERLUIN (-killed in battle 13 Jul 945). Flodoard names "Monasteriolum castellum Erluini filii Hilgaudi comitis" when recording that Montreuil was besieged by "Heribertus et Hugo"[677]. The Chronique de Saint Riquier names "Herluin…comte" as son of "le comte Helgaud" lay abbot of Saint-Riquier[678]. As noted above, it is possible that Helgaud and his son Herluin are in fact the same people as Helgaud Comte de Montreuil 877-79 and his son Herluin who died in 945 (see below), and that the Chronique de Saint-Riquier is inaccurate in its chronology relating to the supposedly earlier father and son of these names. Comte de Montreuil. Arnoul Count of Flanders captured Montreuil in 939: Flodoard records in 939 that “comes Arnulfus” captured “castellum Erluini...Monasteriolum” and that he sent “uxorem ipsius Erluini...cum filiis” across the sea “ad Alstanum regem”[679]. Guillaume of Jumièges records that “Arnulfus Flandrensis comes” captured "castrum...Monasteriolum" from “comiti...Herluino”, who sought help from “Normanniæ dominum” who recaptured the castle for Herluin[680]. Comte d'Amiens 944/45. He was killed fighting the Normans. The Liber Modernorum Regum Francorum records the death of "Herluinus Monasterioli castro comes" fighting "Aygroldo regi Danorum"[681]. Guillaume de Jumièges records that “Herluini” was killed on the orders of “Haigroldo regi Danorum”[682]. m firstly (divorced before 927) ---. The primary source which confirms her marriage has not been identified. m secondly (before 927) --- (-after 939). Flodoard records in 939 that “comes Arnulfus” captured “castellum Erluini...Monasteriolum” and that he sent “uxorem ipsius Erluini...cum filiis” across the sea “ad Alstanum regem”[683]. Comte Herluin & his second wife had [two or more] children:

i) children (-after 939). Flodoard records in 939 that “comes Arnulfus” captured “castellum Erluini...Monasteriolum” and that he sent “uxorem ipsius Erluini...cum filiis” across the sea “ad Alstanum regem”[684]. There is no indication about the number of children nor whether Roger, named below, was one of them.

ii) ROGER . Flodoard names "Rotgarii filii Erluini" when recording that Arnoul Count of Flanders besieged the castle of Montreuil in 943[685]. Comte de Montreuil 948/57. m ---. The name of Roger's wife is not known. Roger & his wife had one child:

(a) HUGUES (-961, bur Saint-Rémy). Flodoard names "Huggo filius Totgarii quondam comitis, adolescens" when recording his death in 961 and burial place[686].

b) ERARD . Flodoard names "Ebrardum fratrem Erluini" when recording that his castle of Ham was captured in 932 by "Heribertus comes"[687]. Seigneur du château de Ham (Picardie).

c) LAMBERT (-killed in battle after 945). Guillaume de Jumièges records that “Lambertus frater eius” was killed trying to avenge the death of “Herluini”[688].

1. HUGUES, son of --- (-4 Jul [1000]). Kerrebrouck[689] says there is no proof that Hugues was the son of Hilduin Comte de Montreuil (see above), and that he could have been a member of the family of Enguerrand, one of whom was abbé de Saint-Riquier at the beginning of the 11th century. The Chronique de Saint Riquier records that Hugues "Capet" King of France granted the château d'Abbeville "à un chevalier nommé Hugues" and also confiscated "Forest-Moutier" from the abbey of Saint-Riquier and granted it to him, recording in a later passage that Hugues bore the title "avoué" not comte[690]. These territories became the foundation of the county of Ponthieu. m (before 987) GISELE de France, daughter of HUGUES Duc des Francs [later HUGUES "Capet" King of France] & his wife Adelais [d'Aquitaine] ([[969][691]-). The Chronique de Saint Riquier records that Hugues "Capet" King of France granted the château d'Abbeville "à un chevalier nommé Hugues" who had married the king's daughter "Gisèle"[692]. Hugues & his wife had two children:

a) ENGUERRAND (-1045, bur Saint-Riquier). The Chronique de Saint Riquier names "Angelran" as son of Hugues, commenting that he contented himself with the title avoué until his marriage when he adopted the title comte[693]. Avoué de Saint-Riquier. He defeated Gilbert Comte de Brionne who had invaded Le Vimeu[694]. The Chronique de Saint Riquier records the death in 1045 of "seigneur Angelran" and his burial at Saint-Riquier[695]. [m firstly ---. If the date attributed to Enguerrand's marriage to Aleida is correct as shown below, it is chronologically implausible for her to have been the mother of Enguerrand's sons. This is because Enguerrand's grandson, Enguerrand, must have married in [1045/50] (see below). This earlier marriage is therefore almost inevitably correct, although no direct reference which confirms this has yet been found in primary sources.] m [secondly] ([after 1033]) as her second husband, ALEIDA, widow of BAUDOUIN Comte de Boulogne, daughter of [ARNULF Count of Holland & his wife Liutgard de Luxembourg]. The Chronique de Saint Riquier records that "Angelran" killed "le comte de Boulogne" in battle and married his widow "Adelvie…qui était de l'origine la plus illustre", after which he adopted the title comte[696]. She is named as the possible daughter of Arnulf, and her two marriages shown, in Europäische Stammtafeln[697] but the primary source on which this is based has not been identified. Enguerrand & his [first] wife had three children:

i) HUGUES (-killed 20 Nov 1052, bur Saint-Riquier). The Chronique de Saint Riquier records that "son fils Hugues" succeeded after the death of "Angelran"[698].

The Chronique de Saint Riquier records that "son fils Hugues" succeeded after the death of "Angelran"[703]. He fought at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 according to the poem Carmen, attributed to his uncle Guy Bishop of Amiens, although the date is inconsistent with his date of death shown here. Comte de Montreuil.

Hugues & his wife had five children:

1. ENGUERRAND (-killed in battle Château d'Arques 25 Oct [1053]). The Chronique de Saint Riquier records that "Hugues" had four sons of whom the eldest "Angelran" confirmed a donation of his father to Saint-Riquier on his deathbed by charter dated "XII Kal Dec"[705].

She married secondly ([1053/54]) Lambert de Boulogne Comte de Lens, and thirdly ([1060]) Eudes Comte de Troyes [Blois-Champagne], who succeeded as Comte d'Aumâle in [1070]. Her second marriage is deduced from the same charter of Saint-Martin d’Auchy which also names “Judita comitissa domine supradicte filia”[712]. Orderic Vitalis records that King William I granted "comitatum Hildernessæ" to "Odoni...Campaniensi nepoti Theobaldi comitis" who had married "sororem...regis filiam...Rodberti ducis"[713]. Enguerrand & his wife had three children:

a) GUY [I] de Montreuil (-13 Nov [1100], bur Abbéville, Saint-Pierre). A charter dated 1100 included in the cartulary of Saint-Josse records a grant of fishing rights by "Guido comes Monsteroli et Pontivensium" which names "Hugo noster avus" and "patre meo Ingerrano"[714]. This is inconsistent with the Chronique de Saint Riquier which records that "comte Gui fils du comte Hugues" succeeded after "Angelran son frère" was killed by the Normans and possessed the county of Ponthieu and the avouerie of Saint-Riquier[715].

Chapter 3. COMTES de PONTHIEU

A. COMTES de PONTHIEU

The area around Ponthieu, which extended approximately from the river Canche in the north to the river Somme in the south, was conquered by Arnoul I Count of Flanders in [940]. It developed into a separate county in the early 11th century, based around territory which was granted by Hugues "Capet" King of France to Hugues, avocat de Saint-Riquier, who had married the king's daughter some time in the 980s. The counts were vassals of the Capetian kings. The county was inherited by the Norman family of Bellême/Montgommery in the late 11th century, and by the family of the counts of Dammartin in the early 1220s. A disputed inheritance resulted in the county passing into English control in 1281.

GUY de Montreuil, son of ENGUERRAND Comte de Montreuil & his wife Adelais de Normandie (-13 Nov [1100], bur Abbéville, Saint-Pierre). A charter dated 1100 included in the cartulary of Saint-Josse records a grant of fishing rights by "Guido comes Monsteroli et Pontivensium" which names "Hugo noster avus" and "patre meo Ingerrano"[723]. This is inconsistent with the Chronique de Saint Riquier which records that "comte Gui fils du comte Hugues" succeeded after "Angelran son frère" was killed by the Normans and possessed the county of Ponthieu and the avouerie of Saint-Riquier[724]. It is assumed that the charter provides the more reliable record of Guy's parentage. Comte de Montreuil. Comte de Ponthieu. Orderic Vitalis records that Guy fought with "Ralph Comte de Montdidier", in support of Henri I King of France, in Feb 1054, was captured by Guillaume II Duke of Normandy and kept prisoner for 2 years until he paid homage to the duke[725]. "Pontivensium comes Wido" donated property to Compiègne Saint-Corneille, confirmed by "Anne comitisse nostre filie", by charter dated to [1067 or after][726]. A charter dated 1100 records the foundation of the priory of St-Pierre d’Abbeville by "Guy comte de Ponthieu et Adèle sa femme", sealed by "Guy comte, de Agnèz sa fille, de Mahaut sa fille…"[727]. "Wido…Pontivi regionis comes" issued a charter dated 1101 relating to the church of Montreuil witnessed by "Agnetis mee filie, Hugonis filii Ramelini cum Ade sue conjugis, Widonis filii Hermenfredi, Simonis Rogeronis filii, Godefridi vicecomitis…Wascelini tunc temporis vicecomitis Monsteroli et ville Rue…"[728].

A charter dated 1100 records the foundation of the priory of St-Pierre d’Abbeville by "Guy comte de Ponthieu et Adèle sa femme", sealed by "Guy comte, de Agnèz sa fille, de Mahaut sa fille…"[730]. "Gulielmus comes Pontivorum" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte for the souls of "his predecessors…count Guy and Adda his wife…" by charter dated 1127[731].

Comte Guy & his [first] wife had one child:

1. ANNE de Ponthieu (-[after 1067]). "Pontivensium comes Wido" donated property to Compiègne Saint-Corneille, confirmed by "Anne comitisse nostre filie", by charter dated to [1067 or after][732]. The title "comitisse" in this charter suggests that Anne must have been married to a count at that date. [m ---.]

Comte Guy & his [second] wife had four children:

"Wido…Pontivi regionis comes" issued a charter dated 1101 relating to the church of Montreuil witnessed by "Agnetis mee filie…"[735]. This marriage was arranged by William II King of England, according to Orderic Vitalis, who also specifies her father's name[736]. A charter dated 1100 records the foundation of the priory of St-Pierre d’Abbeville by "Guy comte de Ponthieu et Adèle sa femme", sealed by "Guy comte, de Agnèz sa fille, de Mahaut sa fille…"[737].

B. COMTES de PONTHIEU (BELLÊME-MONTGOMMERY)

ROBERT de Montgommery "de Bellême", son of ROGER [II] de Montgommery Earl of Shrewsbury & his first wife Mabile d'Alençon ([1052/56]-[Wareham Castle] 8 May [after 1129], bur [Wareham Castle]). Guillaume of Jumièges names “quinque filios et quatuor filias...Robertus et Hugo, Rogerius Pictavinus, Philippus et Arnulfus, Emma, Mathildis, Mabilia et Sibylla” as the children of “Willelmus Talavatius...filiam suam...Mabiliam” and “Rogerium de Monte-Gummeri”[740]. He witnessed a charter for Saint Martin de Sées with his brother Roger, and a charter for Saint Aubin of Angers in [1060/62] without Roger[741], suggesting that the latter had died by then. He succeeded his mother in 1079 as Seigneur de Bellême et d'Alençon. He rebelled against William II King of England in 1088, crossed to England but was besieged at Rochester Castle and in Jun 1088 forced to surrender[742]. "Rotbertus de Belismo filius Rotgerii comitis et Mabilie" donated the church of Saint-Léonard de Bellême, built by "Willelmus attavus Rotberti", to Marmoutier, with the consent of "fratres ipsius Rotberti, Hugo, Rotgerius, Arnulfus", by charter dated 1092[743]. Orderic Vitalis records that, after the death of his father in 1094, “Rodbertus...filius eius” obtained “totum feudum eius in Normannia”, adding that he was “crudelis et superbus” and committed “innumeras iniquitates”[744]. He succeeded his younger brother in 1098 as Earl of Shrewsbury after a payment of £3000[745]. He succeeded his father-in-law in Oct 1100 as Comte de Ponthieu. He rebelled against Henry I King of England in 1102, was deprived of all his honours and estates in England, and retired to Normandy. The Annals of Margan record that “Robertus comes de Belesmo” was expelled from England in 1102 “cum fratre suo Arnulfo”[746]. He was arrested in 1112, imprisoned at Cherbourg and all his lands and honours were forfeited. He was imprisoned at Wareham Castle, Dorset from Jul 1113[747]. The Annals of Margan record the death “Kal Mai” in 1118 of “Robertus comes de Belesme”[748]. The 1130 Pipe Roll records payments made "in libatione Robti de Belismo" in Dorsetshire, Wiltshire[749]. This suggests a pension or maintenance in some form, although it is not certain that it relates to Robert de Montgommery Earl of Shrewsbury.

m (before 9 Sep 1087) AGNES de Ponthieu, daughter of GUY [I] Comte de Ponthieu & his wife Ada --- (-after 6 Oct 1100). Orderic Vitalis records that “Rodbertum Belesmensem” married “filiam Guidonis Pontivi comitis Agnetem”[750]. Orderic Vitalis records that she was treated cruelly by her husband and imprisoned in the castle of Bellême, from where she escaped, took refuge with Adela Ctss de Blois, and retired to Ponthieu[751]. "Gulielmus comes Pontivorum" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte for the souls of "… his father Robert de Belesmo and his mother Agnes…" by charter dated 1127[752].

Comte Robert & his wife had three children:

1. GUILLAUME [I] "Talvas" (-30 Jun 1171). Orderic Vitalis names “Guillelmum” as the son of “Rodbertum Belesmensem” and his wife “filiam Guidonis Pontivi comitis Agnetem”[753]. Comte de Ponthieu.

- see below.

2. ANDRE . "Gulielmus comes Pontivorum" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte by charter dated 1127, subscribed by "…Andrea fratre comitis"[754].

3. MABILE . The primary source which confirms her parentage has not been identified.

GUILLAUME [I] "Talvas" de Ponthieu, son of ROBERT de Montgommery "de Bellême" Seigneur d'Alençon, Comte de Ponthieu, Earl of Shrewsbury & his wife Agnès de Ponthieu (-30 Jun 1171). Orderic Vitalis names “Guillelmum” as the son of “Rodbertum Belesmensem” and his wife “filiam Guidonis Pontivi comitis Agnetem”[755]. He succeeded his father [4 Mar 1106/1110][756] as Comte de Ponthieu. "Wilelmus comes Pontivi" confirmed the donation of the church of Saint-Léonard de Bellême to Marmoutier by charter dated to [1112/14][757]. Henry I King of England restored Comte Guillaume to his father's lands in Normandy in Jun 1119[758]. He resigned Ponthieu [before 1129] in favour of his son Guy: Guillaume of Jumièges records that ”Willelmum Talavatium” married “Ala...quæ fuerat antea uxor ducis Burgundiæ” [incorrect], and had “duos filios et totidem filias” of whom “filiorum primogenitus Wido” was made “patre vivente...comes Pontivi”[759]. "Gulielmus comes Pontivorum" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte for the souls of "his predecessors earl Roger and Mabel his wife, count Guy and Adda his wife, his father Robert de Belesmo and his mother Agnes and…Ela his wife and of their sons two of them called Robert and two William and two Enguerrand and Mabel his daughter" by charter dated 1127[760]. Robert of Torigny records that Henry II King of England granted "castrum Alenceium et Rocam Mabiriæ" to "Willermus Talavacius comes Sagiensis et filius eius Johannes et iterum Johannes nepos eius filius Guidonis primogeniti sui comitis Pontivi" in 1166[761]. Robert of Torigny records the death in 1171 of "Guillermus Talavercius comes Pontivi" and the succession of "Johannes nepos suus…ex Guidone primogenito suo"[762]. The Obituaire of Saint-Martin de Séez records the death 30 Jun of "Guillelmus Pontivorum comes"[763]. The necrology of the monastery of Ouche records the death "30 Jun" of "Willelmus comes Talevat"[764].

[m firstly ---. The name of Guillaume’s supposed first wife is not known. This first marriage is strongly suggested by the marriage date of Guillaume’s daughter Clémence. She is named in Jul 1128 with her son "Gaufrido primogenito" (see below). The addition of the word "primogenito" suggests that there was at least one other younger child at that date. This would place her marriage in late 1125 at the very latest. It is extremely unlikely, therefore, that she could have born from Guillaume’s marriage to Hélie de Bourgogne, the death of whose first husband is recorded in late Apr 1112. The other indication is the unlikelihood that Hélie de Bourgogne could have had eleven children by her second husband, considering her own estimated birth date.]

m [secondly] ([late 1112/1115]) as her second husband, HELIE de Bourgogne, widow of BERTRAND de Toulouse Count of Tripoli, daughter of EUDES I Duke of Burgundy [Capet] & his wife Sibylle de Bourgogne [Comté] ([1080/83]-28 Feb 1141). She is named by Orderic Vitalis, who also records her parentage, her two marriages and the names of her eldest sons by each marriage[765]. The contract of marriage between "Bertrandus Raimundi filius" and "Electæ" is dated Jun 1095[766]. If this document is correctly dated, it is unlikely that Hélie was born much later than [1080/83]. Guillaume of Jumièges records that ”Willelmum Talavatium” married “Ala...quæ fuerat antea uxor ducis Burgundiæ” [incorrect], and had “duos filios et totidem filias”[767]. "Gulielmus comes Pontivorum" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte for the souls of "…Ela his wife…" by charter dated 1127[768].

"Wido comes Pontivii" confirmed freedoms over his lands, with the consent of "patris mei Willermi et domine Ele matris mee, fratris mei Johannis et uxoris mee Ide et filii mei Johannis" by undated charter[770].

Comte Guillaume [I] & his [first] wife had [three] children:

1. CLEMENCE de Ponthieu (-30 Nov before 1189). Guillaume of Jumièges records that ”Willelmum Talavatium” married “Ala...quæ fuerat antea uxor ducis Burgundiæ” [incorrect], and had “duos filios et totidem filias” of whom “una” married “Iuhello filio Walterii de Meduana”[771]. As noted above, the chronology suggests that Clémence was born from an otherwise unrecorded earlier marriage of her father. "Juhello principe Meduane et uxore eius Clementia et filio eorum Gaufrido primogenito" subscribed a charter dated 12 and 26 Jul 1128, under which property was restored to the abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel[772]. m (before [1126]) JUHEL Seigneur de Mayenne, son of GAUTHIER Seigneur de Mayenne & his wife Aline --- (-23 Dec 1161, bur Evroux).

2. MABILE de Ponthieu . "Gulielmus comes Pontivorum" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte for the souls of "Ela his wife and of their sons two of them called Robert and two William and two Enguerrand and Mabel his daughter" by charter dated 1127[773]. If this translation is accurate, the wording suggests that Mabile was not the daughter of Guillaume’s known wife Hélie.

3. PHILIPPA de Ponthieu (-before 1149, bur Abbaye de Saint-Martin de Sées). The primary source which confirms her parentage has not been identified. It is suggested that she may have been born from her father’s supposed first marriage only to reduce the number of children attributed to his wife Hélie, whose age suggests that she could not have been the mother of ten children.

Comte Guillaume [I] & his [second] wife had nine children:

4. GUY [II] de Ponthieu (-Ephesus [25 Dec] 1147). His parentage is recorded by Orderic Vitalis[774]. He succeeded before 1129 as Comte de Ponthieu.

11. JEAN de Ponthieu (-24 Feb 1191). "Wido comes Pontivii" confirmed freedoms over his lands, with the consent of "patris mei Willermi et domine Ele matris mee, fratris mei Johannis et uxoris mee Ide et filii mei Johannis" by undated charter[781]. He succeeded in 1141 as Comte d'Alençon. Robert of Torigny records that Henry II King of England granted "castrum Alenceium et Rocam Mabiriæ" to "Willermus Talavacius comes Sagiensis et filius eius Johannes et iterum Johannes nepos eius filius Guidonis primogeniti sui comitis Pontivi" in 1166[782].

- COMTES d'ALENÇON.

12. ELA de Ponthieu (-10 Dec 1174). Guillaume of Jumièges records that ”Willelmum Talavatium” married “Ala...quæ fuerat antea uxor ducis Burgundiæ” [incorrect], and had “duos filios et totidem filias” of whom “altera” married “tertio Willelmi de Warenna comiti...Surreiæ”[784]. Her name suggests that she must have been born from Guillaume’s marriage to Hélie de Bourgogne. Her second marriage is confirmed by Robert of Torigny who refers to the wife of "comes Patricius" as "filia Guillermi comitis Pontivi, matre comitisse de Warenna"[785]. Thomas Becket Archbishop of Canterbury wrote to “Alæ comitissæ Warennæ” concerning the retention from the monks of Lewes of tithes from her dower lands, dated to [1162/74][786]. The register of Lewes priory records the death “IV Id Dec” in 1174 of “domina Ala comitissa Surregiæ filia comitis de Belesme et uxor Willielmi tertii...anno xxvi post virum suum” and states that it is not known where she was buried (“ubi sepulta est nescitur”)[787]. m firstly WILLIAM [III] de Warenne Earl of Surrey, son of WILLIAM [II] de Warenne Earl of Surrey & his wife Elisabeth de Vermandois [Capet] ([1119]-killed in battle Laodicea 19 Jan 1148). m secondly (1152 or before) as his second wife, PATRICK Earl of Salisbury, son of WALTER FitzEdward de Salisbury & his wife Sybil de Chaources [Chaworth] (-killed in battle Poitou [7 Apr] 1168, bur Poitiers, Abbaye de Saint-Hilaire).

He succeeded [before 1129] as Comte de Ponthieu. Guillaume of Jumièges records that ”Willelmum Talavatium” married “Ala...quæ fuerat antea uxor ducis Burgundiæ” [incorrect], and had “duos filios et totidem filias” of whom “filiorum primogenitus Wido” was made “patre vivente...comes Pontivi”[789].

m (contract Mantes, Yvelines 20 Aug 1195) ALIX de France, daughter of LOUIS VII King of France & his [second wife Infanta doña Constanza de Castilla] ([4 Oct] 1160-after Jan 1213). Robert of Torigny records the death in 1160 of "Constantia regina Franciæ" while giving birth to a daughter[822]. She is named Adelaide by Kerrebrouck[823], but he cites no primary source on which this is based. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "reginam Margaretam Anglie et comitissam Aaliz" as children of King Louis VII & his second wife, specifying that Alix married "Guilelmus comes de Pontivo"[824]. The De Rebus Hispaniæ of Rodericus Ximenes names "Adelodis" as the daughter of "Ludovico Regi Francorum" and his wife "Elisabeth" (error for Constantia), specifying that she married "Comitis de Pontivo"[825]. There is some confusion between this daughter and King Louis VII's supposed daughter Alix by his third wife. Roger of Hoveden records that the betrothal of King Louis's daughter to Richard of England was first proposed in 1161, when Richard's older brother Henry was betrothed to her sister Marguerite[826]. Chronologically, this can only refer to the king's daughter by his second marriage. This appears to be confirmed by the Chronicle of Gervase which records the betrothal in 1169 of "Ricardus…filius regis Anglæ" and "filiam regis Franciæ quam habuit de filia regis Hispanorum"[827]. Ctss de Bourges 1174, as her dowry. Benedict of Peterborough records the betrothal "XI Kal Oct 1177" of "rex Anglie…Ricardus comes Pictaviæ filius eius" and "regi Franciæ…filiam" as part of the peace agreement between the two kings[828]. It is assumed that this refers to the same daughter, although the primary source which confirms this beyond doubt has not been identified. If this is correct, she was presumably the same daughter who later married the Comte de Ponthieu. Until further information comes to light, it is assumed that Alix/Adelaide who was betrothed to Richard, and who later married the Comte de Ponthieu, was the daughter who was born in 1160, and that King Louis had no daughter of this name by his third marriage. Alix was brought up in England after her betrothal. Benedict of Peterborough records that the betrothal of "Alesia soror eius [Philippi regis Franciæ]" and Richard was renewed in 1189, commenting that the king of England "in custodia habet"[829]. Richard refused the marriage after his accession to the throne. Kerrebrouck states that King Richard arranged her betrothal to his younger brother John in early 1193[830], but the primary source which confirms this has not been identified. She returned to France in Aug 1195. Ctss d'Eu, Dame d’Arques in 1195, as her dowry for her marriage. "Willelmus comes Pontivi" granted rights to the commune of Marquienneterre, with the consent of "uxoris mee Aalidis filie Ludovici regis Francie", by charter dated 1199[831].

A charter dated Jan 1213 (New Style) confirms a grant of rights to the church of Sainte-Marie at Clairvaux by "Willelmus…Pontivi et Monstreoli comes et Aalis, uxor eius, filia pii regis Ludovici" agreed a concession made by one of his vassals, with the consent of "Aalis sa femme et de Marie leur fille"[839].

C. COMTES de PONTHIEU (DAMMARTIN)

SIMON de Dammartin, son of AUBRY [II] Comte de Dammartin & his wife Mathilde de Clermont-en-Beauvaisis (-21 Sep 1239). “Reginaldus comes Bolonie” donated property to Jumièges, for the soul of “Alberici patris mei comitis Dampnimartini in eadem ecclesia sepulti”, with the consent of “Yde uxoris mee comitisse Bolonie, Radulfi et Simonis fratrum meorum et sororum mearum”, by charter dated [19 Sep/Dec] 1200[854]. The Chronicon Andrensis names "comes Bolonie Reinaldus et Simon frater eius", specifying that Simon married "filiam comitis Pontivi unicam"[855]. Comte d'Aumâle 1205/11. "Renaldus comes Bolonie" confirmed the marriage contract between "Guillelmum comitem Pontivi et Mariam eiusdem comitis filiam" and "Simonem fratrem meum" by charter dated Sep 1208[856]. Comte de Ponthieu et de Montreuil. “Symon comes Pontivi…Maria comitissa Pontivi” agreed with Louis IX King of France not to marry “de duabus filiabus nostris promogenitis” without consent of the king, dated Mar 1231[857]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the death in 1239 of "comes de Pontivo Symon"[858].

m (contract Sep 1208) as her first husband, MARIE de Ponthieu, daughter of GUILLAUME [II] "Talvas" Comte de Ponthieu & his wife Alix de France (before 17 Apr 1199-Sep 1250). The De Rebus Hispaniæ of Rodericus Ximenes names "Mariam…mater Joannæ Reginæ Castellæ et Legionis" as the daughter of "Comitis de Pontivo" and his wife "Adelodis" daughter of "Ludovico Regi Francorum" (and his wife "Elisabeth", an error for Constanza [859]. "Willelmus comes Pontivi et Monstreoli" donated property to the church of Saint Giosse, with the consent of "Marie filie mee et Aelis uxoris mee", by charter dated 1205[860]. "Willelmus comes Pontivi et Monstreoli…et Aalais uxor mea comitissa Pontivi et Maria filia mea" granted concessions by charter dated 1207[861]. "Willelmus comes Pontivi et Monstreoli" granted rights to one of his vassals, with the consent of "Aalis, uxoris mee Ludovici regis filie et Marie filie mee", by charter dated Aug 1208[862]. "Renaldus comes Bolonie" confirmed the marriage contract between "Guillelmum comitem Pontivi et Mariam eiusdem comitis filiam" and "Simonem fratrem meum" by charter dated Sep 1208[863]. "Willelmus comes Pontivi et Monstreoli" granted rights to the commune of Maioc, with the consent of "Aalis, uxoris mee et Symonis de Bolonia, generis mei, et Marie filie mee, uxoris eius", by charter dated 1209[864]. "Guilelmus comes Pontivi et Monstrolii" donated property to Saint-Maurice d’Agaune, for the souls of "Alaidis uxoris meæ et Mariæ filiæ meæ", by charter dated Mar 1210[865]. "Willaume comte de Pontieu et de Montreuil" agreed a concession made by one of his vassals, with the consent of "Aalis sa femme et de Marie leur fille" by charter dated Nov 1211[866]. She succeeded her father in 1221 as Ctss de Ponthieu. “Maria comitissa Pontivi” wrote to Louis VIII King of France request consent for the future succession to Ponthieu by “filiorum et filiarum mearum” is dated Jul 1225[867]. Louis VIII King of France confirmed an agreement with "consanguinea nostra Maria comitissa Pontivi" related to the rights of succession of her "filios et filios quos susceperat a Simone fratre comitis Renaldi Bolonie" and that her husband would not inherit the county of Ponthieu, by charter dated 1225[868]. “Maria comitissa Pontivi” acknowledged receipt of “duo milia librarum” from King Louis VIII, dated Dec 1225[869]. "Symon comes Pontivi et Monsteroli et Maria uxor mea" confirmed a donation of property to the abbey of Notre-Dame d'Ourscamp by "Johannes comes Pontivi" by charter dated 2 Mar 1230[870]. "Maria comitissa Pontivi et Monstreoli" donated property to the church of Boulogne in memory of "Symon comes Pontivi et Monstreoli…maritus meus" by charter dated Oct 1239[871]. The primary source which confirms her second marriage has not been identified, although it is suggested by the charter dated Sep 1242 under which "Matheus comes Pontivi et Monstreoli et Maria uxor eius, comitissa" noted property sales[872]. She married secondly ([Sep 1240/15 Dec 1241]) Mathieu de Montmorency Seigneur d'Attichy. The barons of the Cinque Ports in England wrote to "domine Marie, de Pontivo et Monstreolo comitisse", dated Aug 1250, replying to her claims respecting commercial rights[873].

Comte Simon & his wife had four children:

1. JEANNE de Dammartin ([1220]-Abbeville 16 Mar 1279, bur monastery of Valoires). The De Rebus Hispaniæ of Rodericus Ximenes names "Mariam…mater Joannæ Reginæ Castellæ et Legionis" as the daughter of "Comitis de Pontivo" and his wife "Adelodis" daughter of "Ludovico Regi Francorum" (and his wife "Elisabeth", an error for Constanza)[874]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to, but does not name, the four daughters of "comes de Pontivo Symon" as the wives of "rex Castelle de Hispanie Fernandus…natu maiorem filius vicecomitis de Castro Araudi…filius comitis de Augo…comes de Roceio"[875]. "Symon comes Pontivi et Monstreoli et…Maria comitissa dicte terre" granted "quatuor millaria alectium…annuatim" [four thousand herrings a year] to the nuns of Espaigne, at the request of "primogenite nostre J. …regine Yspanie et Castelle", by charter dated Aug 1237[876]. It is not known whether the document accords the queen’s title to Jeanne because she was already married or just betrothed at that date. The contract of marriage between "Ferrandi…regis Castelle et Toleti, Legionis et Galicie" and "donna Johanna…socero nostro…comite Pontivi" is noted in a charter dated Jan 1238 (N. S.) issued by Louis IX King of France, which also refers to the king of Castile's letter dated 31 Oct 1237[877]. She succeeded her father as Ctss d‘Aumâle in 1239. She succeeded her mother in 1250 as Ctss de Ponthieu. She returned to France after her first husband died[878]. "Johanna…Castelle [regina]" confirmed a donation to Saint-Vulfran, for the souls of "…bone memorie…regis Castelle et Legionis quondam mariti nostri" and tor the salvation of "nostre et Fernandi…filii nostri primogeniti", by charter dated Aug 1255[879]. "Jehans de Neele cuens de Pontieu de Monsteruel et d’Aubemarle" appointed "la noble dame Jehane…roine de Castele et de Lyon contesse de Pontieu nostre…fame" as his proxy to pursue a claim against the monks of Saint-Sauve by charter dated 17 Oct 1270[880]. The Continuator of Florence of Worcester records the death in 1279 of "regina Hispanie, domina Pontivi, mater Alienoræ reginæ Angliæ"[881]. m firstly (Burgos 1237, [before Aug]) as his second wife, FERNANDO III "el Santo" King of Castile, son of ALFONSO IX King of León & his second wife Infanta doña Berenguela de Castilla (Monte de Valparaíso [30 Jul/5 Aug] 1201-Seville 30 May 1252, bur Seville, Cathedral Santa María). m secondly ([May 1260/9 Feb 1261]) as his second wife, JEAN de Nesle Seigneur de Falvy et de La Hérelle, son of RAOUL de Nesle Seigneur de Falvy & his wife Alix de Roye (-2 Feb 1292).

2. MATHILDE de Dammartin (before [1220]-after Jan 1257). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to, but does not name, the four daughters of "comes de Pontivo Symon" (in order) as the wives of "rex Castelle de Hispanie Fernandus…filius vicecomitis de Castro Araudi…filius comitis de Augo…comes de Roceio"[882]. The wording of this passage means that the husband of this Dammartin daughter was not Aimery [II] Vicomte de Châtellerault, as shown in many secondary sources, which would in any case be chronologically impossible, but his son[883]. In addition, the full passage appears to indicate that the wife of "filius vicecomitis de Castro Airaudi" was the oldest of the four daughters as she is referred to "alteram natu maiorem", even though her husband is mentioned second in the list. This would seem surprising considering that the county of Ponthieu was inherited by Jeanne, wife of Fernando III King of Castile. The charter dated Aug 1237, quoted above, under which her parents name their daughter Jeanne "primogenite nostre J. …regine Yspanie et Castelle", confirms that Jeanne was indeed the oldest daughter[884]. Interestingly, Butkens states, in his commentary relating to the Dammartin-Ponthieu family, that (1) this daughter married "le fils du Vicomte de Chastellerault" and (2) that she was the oldest daughter[885], the latter statement presumably being based on a literal interpretation of the passage in Alberic which, as explained above, is contradicted by the charter dated Aug 1237. Butkens, in the same passage, says that "le fils du Vicomte de Chastellerault…n’en eust pas de lignée" (from his wife, Simon’s daughter), although as shown in the document POITOU this statement is incorrect. The wife of Vicomte Jean was named Mathilde, as shown by the charter dated Jan 1256 under which "Matildis nostra uxor" confirmed a donation to the abbey of Bécheron by "Johannes vicecomes Castri Ayraudi"[886]. Mathilde was presumably named after her paternal grandmother. The charter dated 1291, under which "Jean de Harcourt chevalier et Jeanne vicomtesse de Châtellerault sa femme, fille de Jean vicomte de Châtellerault" confirmed all the donations to Saint-André-en-Gouffern made by their predecessors[887], indicates that Mathilde was the mother of Jean’s daughter Jeanne, as other donations to Saint-André-en-Gouffern which are recorded in the same source were made by the comtes de Ponthieu (ancestors of Mathilde), not by the vicomtes de Châtellerault. If it is correct that Mathilde was the second daughter of Simon de Dammartin and his wife, it is likely that she was married after her sister Jeanne, whose marriage can be dated to before Aug 1237 as noted above. m (after [Aug] 1237) JEAN de Châtellerault, son of AIMERY [II] Vicomte de Châtellerault & his wife Agatha --- (-before 1290, bur Saint-André de Gouffern).

3. PHILIPPA de Dammartin (-[14 Apr 1278/1281]). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to, but does not name, the four daughters of "comes de Pontivo Symon" (in order) as the wives of "rex Castelle de Hispanie Fernandus…natu maiorem filius vicecomitis de Castro Araudi…filius comitis de Augo…comes de Roceio"[888]. This entry could not refer to Raoul, who had succeeded as comte d’Eu in 1219, but to his otherwise unrecorded son who must have predeceased his father. "Philippa quondam comitissa Augi et domina Couciaci" granted a fief by charter dated Jul 1251[889]. The Kronik van Arent toe Bocop records that "Otto…grave van Gelre" married secondly "Philippa, de grave van Syntpols dochter"[890]. The Lignages de Coucy (written in 1303) records that the wife of "Raoul", oldest son of "Enguerran de Coucy", married secondly "le conte Otte de Guelles"[891]. "Phelippe contesse de Guelle" founded the chapel of Transleel, with the consent of "mon…seigneur Jehan de Neele conte de Pontieu et…ma…sereur…royne", by charter dated Aug 1277[892]. m firstly ([1239/40]) as his third wife, RAOUL de Lusignan Comte d’Eu, son of RAOUL [I] de Lusignan Comte d’Eu & his wife Alix Ctss d’Eu (-[1/2] Sep 1246). m secondly (after Nov 1246) RAOUL Seigneur de Coucy, son of ENGUERRAND [III] Seigneur de Coucy & third his wife Marie de Montmirail (-killed in battle Faraskur 6 Apr 1250). m thirdly ([1252/54]) as his second wife, OTTO II Graaf van Gelre, son of GERHARD III Graaf van Gelre & his wife Marguerite de Brabant (-10 Jan 1271).

4. MARIE de Dammartin (-after 1279). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to, but does not name, the four daughters of "comes de Pontivo Symon" (in order) as the wives of "rex Castelle de Hispanie Fernandus…natu maiorem filius vicecomitis de Castro Araudi…comitis de Augo…comes de Roceio"[893]. Moret de la Fayole records that “Maria comitissa Rociaci et domina Petro-ponti tutrix...Joannis filii mei, quem suscepi ex marito meo quondam comite Rociaci” donated property to Cuissac by charter dated 1256[894]. m (before 15 Dec 1241) as his second wife, JEAN [II] Comte de Roucy, son of ROBERT de Pierrepont Comte de Roucy & his wife Eustachie Ctss de Roucy (-killed in battle Flanders 1251).

D. COMTES de PONTHIEU (CASTILE)

Infante don FERNANDO de Castilla y León, son of FERNANDO III "el Santo" King of Castile & his second wife Jeanne de Dammartin Ctss d'Aumâle et de Ponthieu (1238-in France before 1264). He was known as FERDINAND de Ponthieu. Comte d’Aumâle, Baron de Montgomery et de Noyelles-sur-Mer. "Johanna…Castelle [regina]" confirmed a donation to Saint-Vulfran, for the souls of "…bone memorie…regis Castelle et Legionis quondam mariti nostri" and tor the salvation of "nostre et Fernandi…filii nostri primogeniti", by charter dated Aug 1255[895]. "Ferrandus domicellus de Pontivo filius regis Hyspanie et Laura filia comitis Montisfortis uxor eiusdem Ferrandi" confirmed the donation made to Vaux de Cernay by “clare memorie Johannes quondam comes Montisfortis filius...Almarici Montisfortis quondam comitis...frater noster, de assensu...Johanne uxoris sue nunc defuncte” by charter dated Dec 1257[896]. "Ferrandus…regis Hyspanie filius, heres Pontivil et dominus Sparnonis ac miles et domina Laura de Monteforti eiusdem Sparnonis domina eius uxor" issued letters to the priory of Saint-Thomas d’Epernon by charter dated Feb 1261[897].

m (after 1256) as her first husband, LAURE de Montfort Dame d'Epernon, daughter of AMAURY [VII] de Montfort ex-Duc de Narbonne & his wife Beatrix de Viennois [Bourgogne-Capet] (-before Aug 1270, bur Abbaye Saint-Antoine-lès-Paris). "Ferrandus domicellus de Pontivo filius regis Hyspanie et Laura filia comitis Montisfortis uxor eiusdem Ferrandi" confirmed the donation made to Vaux de Cernay by “clare memorie Johannes quondam comes Montisfortis filius...Almarici Montisfortis quondam comitis...frater noster, de assensu...Johanne uxoris sue nunc defuncte” by charter dated Dec 1257[898]. "Ferrandus…regis Hyspanie filius, heres Pontivil et dominus Sparnonis ac miles et domina Laura de Monteforti eiusdem Sparnonis domina eius uxor" issued letters to the priory of Saint-Thomas d’Epernon by charter dated Feb 1261[899]. She married secondly (before Dec 1267) Henri de Grandpré Seigneur de Livry.

Ferdinand & his wife had one child:

1. JEAN de Ponthieu (-killed in battle Courtrai 11 Jul 1302). He succeeded his father as Comte d’Aumâle, Baron of Montgomery, Seigneur d’Epernon and Noyelles-sur-Mer. However, on the death of his paternal grandmother in 1279, his aunt Infanta doña Leonor de Castilla Queen of England succeeded to Ponthieu in his place as the closer direct relation. After an inconclusive hearing at Amiens 23 May 1281, Jean renounced Ponthieu in return for 14,000 livres compensation. The Chronique Artésienne records “li quens d’Aubemarle” among those killed at the battle of Courtrai[900]. m ([1289/93]) as her second husband, IDA de Meulan Dame de Fontaine-Guérard, widow of GOBERT [I] Seigneur de Dargies, daughter of AMAURY [III] de Meulan Seigneur de la Queue-en-Brie et de Gournay-sur-Marne & his wife Marguerite de Neufbourg ([1255/60]-16 Jan 1324, bur Abbaye de Fontaine-Guérard). Her first and second marriages are indicated by the testaments of Renaud Seigneur de Dargies [younger brother of Ida’s first husband], dated early 1294 and Aug 1295, which bequeathed dowry to his daughter Jeanne “...toute le terre de Clari qui me doit venir apres le dechest me dame le contesse d’Aubemalle”[901], indicating that the property in question must have constituted Ida’s dower from her first marriage. Hearings in Aug 1269 record a claim by “dominum Almaricum de Mellento” against “Ioannem de Rolleboise” that “villam de Fraxinis” belonged to “domicellam Idam filiam suam” following a property exchange[902]. "Almaricus de Meullento dominus de Cauda, Guillelmus de Essartis dominus de Ambleinvilla, Gobertus de Argus dominus de Guitebuef, Albertus de Longavalle dominus de Croissiaco milites, Ysabellis predicti Guillelmi, Yda dicti Goberti, et Anna dicti Alberti uxores" confirmed rights of pasture to Notre-Dame de Gournay by charter dated Apr 1274, with another charter dated Nov 1274 relating to the same matter[903]. The death of Gobert de Dargies is estimated to [1288/92][904], which indicates that his widow must have been older than her second husband at the time of their marriage. It has previously been suggested that, because of this age difference, it is more likely that the wife of Jean de Ponthieu was Ida de Meulan, daughter of Amaury [III] de Meulan, and not Ida de Meulan, daughter of Amaury [II] de Meulan, who married Gobert de Dargies[905]. However, the testaments of Renaud de Dargies quoted above confirm that the same Ida de Meulan married the two individuals. “Ida de Mellento comitissa de Albamalla” donated “nostram partem decimæ in...Fourgis...” to “ecclesia...Beatæ Mariæ de Thesauro”, for the souls of “Johannis de Pontivo quondam comitis de Albemalia, Mariæ de Pontivo filiæ meæ primogenitæ, domini Goberti quondam domini de Dargies”, by charter dated 7 Oct 1316[906]. Jean & his wife had three children:

a) MARIE de Ponthieu ([1290/91?]-). “Ida de Mellento comitissa de Albamalla” donated “nostram partem decimæ in...Fourgis...” to “ecclesia...Beatæ Mariæ de Thesauro”, for the souls of “...Mariæ de Pontivo filiæ meæ primogenitæ...”, by charter dated 7 Oct 1316[907].

b) LAURE de Ponthieu (after 1291-[after 1318?]). Duchesne states that Guy [VIII] Mauvoisin and his wife Laure de Ponthieu are named in a charter dated 1303 but provides no other details or citation reference[908]. m ([1303]) GUY [VIII] Mauvoisin Seigneur de Rosny, son of GUY [VII] Mauvoisin Seigneur de Rosny & his wife Isabelle de Mello (-after 31 Jan 1327).

c) JEAN de Ponthieu (-[16 Jan 1340 or 1342]). He succeeded his father in 1302 as Comte d’Aumâle, Baron de Montgomery, Seigneur d’Epernon, de Noyelles-sur-Mer and de Fontaine-Guérard. He took part in the siege of Cambrai, and the battle of Burronfosse 22 Jul 1337. m (before 2 Sep 1319) CATHERINE d’Artois, daughter of PHILIPPE d'Artois Seigneur de Conches [Capet] & his wife Blanche de Bretagne ([1296]-Normandy Nov 1368). Her parentage and marriage are indicated by a charter dated 17 May 1343 which records an agreement between [her son-in-law] “Jean comte de Harcourt” and “Catherine d’Artois sa belle-mère” regarding her dower[909]. Père Anselme records Catherine as the daughter of Robert d’Artois Seigneur de Conches (see below), names her husband as shown here, and records their marriage before Sep 1320 (no sources cited)[910]. Moranvillé highlights that Anselme’s report of her parentage is chronologically impossible if the marriage date is correct, and indicates that Catherine must have been the daughter of Philippe Seigneur de Conches[911]. This suggestion is confirmed by the Chronographia regum Francorum which records Philippe’s children, including his four daughters “…quartam…Katerinam, comes Abbemalle duxit uxorem”[912]. Comte Jean & his wife had two children:

i) BLANCHE de Ponthieu (-12 [Apr/May] 1387). She succeeded her father in 1340 as Ctss d’Aumâle, Dame de Montgomery, de Mesles-sur-Sarthe, de Gouffer, de Vigues d'Aubigny, de Noyelles-sur-Mer, de Hiermont, de Noyellette et de Pontailler. Her parentage is indicated by a charter dated 17 May 1343 which records an agreement between “Jean comte de Harcourt” and “Catherine d’Artois sa belle-mère” regarding her dower[913]. A document relating to a lawsuit in 1344 names “dominus comes de Haricuria et de Albamarla et domina Blancha de Ponthieu eius uxor”[914]. An undated document records the efforts, after the death of her husband, of “Madame Blanche de Ponthieu” regarding “la fausse et inique condamnation [de] Jean...Comte de Ponthieu son mary et à ses enfants, le plus aagé desquels n’avoit que treize ans” to reverse the confiscation of his assets, noting that she later died 12 Mar [error?] 1387 and was buried at Notre-Dame du Parc[915]. m ([1340/41]) JEAN [V] d'Harcourt Comte d'Harcourt, Vicomte de Châtellerault, Seigneur d'Elbœuf, son of JEAN [IV] d'Harcourt Comte d'Harcourt & his wife Isabeau de Parthenay (-beheaded Rouen 8 Jan 1355).

ii) JEANNE de Ponthieu (-30 May 1376). Dame d'Epernon. "Jeanne de Pontieu comtesse de Vendôme et Castres" settled a dispute with Vendôme La Trinité “pour son fils Bouchard” by charter dated t 1365[916]. m JEAN [VII] Comte de Vendôme, Seigneur de Castres, son of BOUCHARD [IX] Comte de Vendôme & his wife Alix de Bretagne (-Montpellier [1/22] Feb 1364, bur Castres).

E. SEIGNEURS de CAYEUX

In the 12th and 13th centuries, the seigneurs de Cayeux were connected with the Vimeu, a geographical region which lies in western Picardie south of the river Somme and north of the river Bresle, and which was part of the county of Ponthieu. The Cayeux family of Vimeu was studied in the 1930s by Jacques de Vismes[917]. More recently, the various Cayeux families of northern France have been analysed by Michel Champagne in the context of his study on the seigneurie de Longvilliers[918]. La Gorgue-Rosny states that the Cayeux family originated in the Vimeu[919]. The town of Cayeux-sur-Mer is situated on the Channel coast south of the Somme estuary and north of Le Tréport, in the Vimeu. However, Champagne points out that the Historia Comitum Ghisnensium records that the "Odrenses" (people of Odre: la Tour d’Odre is located in the northern suburbs of the town of Boulogne) associated with "Caiosensibus" in order to hunt in the forest of Boulogne, which suggests that the two peoples were near neighbours[920]. He also highlights the 18th century Marquis des Cajeux, whose château was situated at Capécure, near Boulogne on the left bank of the river Liane, and suggests that the Cayeux family may have originated in the adjacent hamlet of Caïeu which no longer exists[921]. Whatever the precise point of origin of the family, one branch did settle in the Vimeu and presumably gave its name to Cayeux-sur-Mer. An extensive, but inaccurate, genealogy of the Cayeux family is given in Belleval’s Nobiliaire de Ponthieu et de Vimeu[922]. The book refers to primary sources but gives no precise citation references.

Three siblings, parents not known:

1. BAUDOUIN de Cayeux (-after 1107). "Balduini de Caioht et Rogeri fratris sui, Ingelramni de Monasteriolo, Hugonis de Colesberge, Nenfedi dapiferi, Willelmi vicecomitis" suscribed the charter dated 1107 under which "Eustachius Bononensium comes…cum comitissa Maria" submitted the monastery of Samer to Cluny[923]. Renaud Archbishop of Reims confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Dommartin, including the donation of "decimas…et terram…in Boloniensi patria" made by "Balduinus de Caieo", by charter dated 1125[924]. It is not known whether these two charters refer to the same Baudouin de Cayeux.

2. ROGER de Cayeux (-after 1115). "Balduini de Caioht et Rogeri fratris sui…" suscribed the charter dated 1107 under which "Eustachius Bononensium comes…cum comitissa Maria" submitted the monastery of Samer to Cluny[925]. "…Rogerius de Caiou…" subscribed the charter dated 16 Jul 1113 under which "Eustachius junior…Boloniensium comes" confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Samer[926]. "…Roger de Caïeu…" subscribed the charter dated 1115 under which Eustache III Comte de Boulogne confirmed the donation of Wissant to the abbey of Arras[927]. A bull of Pope Alexander III dated 1173 confirmed the possessions of Samer, including the donation of land "in Rustinghem" made by "Rogerii de Caieu et Gislæ sororis eius"[928].

3. GISELE de Cayeux . A bull of Pope Alexander III dated 1173 confirmed the possessions of Samer, including the donation of land "in Rustinghem" made by "Rogerii de Caieu et Gislæ sororis eius"[929].

1. --- de Cayeux (-before 1153). No indication has been found of the name of Heldefrida’s husband, but he was presumably one of the Cayeux family who is named in the present document. m HELDEFRIDA, daughter of --- (-after 1153). Thierry Bishop of Amiens confirmed the donation to Dommartin made by "Eustachius Collet et Agnes mater eius…" made by "Balduinus de Caieo", in the presence of "…Balduino de Caieo et Heldefrida matre eius et Helfrido frater eius…", by charter dated 1153[930]. Two children:

a) BAUDOUIN de Cayeux (-after 1153). Thierry Bishop of Amiens confirmed the donation to Dommartin made by "Eustachius Collet et Agnes mater eius…" made by "Balduinus de Caieo", in the presence of "…Balduino de Caieo et Heldefrida matre eius et Helfrido frater eius…", by charter dated 1153[931]. same person as…? BAUDOUIN de Cayeux (-after 1172). "Pharamo de Tingri, Balduino de Caio…" subscribed the charter dated 1172 under which Matthieu Comte de Boulogne granted revenue from fisheries to the monks of Saint-Josse-sur-mer[932].

b) HELFRID de Cayeux (-after 1153). Thierry Bishop of Amiens confirmed the donation to Dommartin made by "Eustachius Collet et Agnes mater eius…" made by "Balduinus de Caieo", in the presence of "…Balduino de Caieo et Heldefrida matre eius et Helfrido frater eius…", by charter dated 1153[933].

1. ANSEAU [I] de Cayeux (-[1136]). Seigneur de Cayeux. Champagne states that Anseau [I] donated "la ferme de Rohastre avec permission de prendre du bois dans sa forêt de Sery" to the Knights Templars of Jerusalem by charter dated 1090[934]. He does not cite the corresponding primary source, but the date is dubious considering that the founding of the order of the Knights Templar is generally dated to [1119]. La Gorgue-Rosny states that "Ansel de Cayeux, seigneur dudit lieu, Bouillencourt-en-Sery, Fréville, Rambures" founded the abbey of Sery in 1127 but does not cite the corresponding primary source[935]. Belleval refers to a charter dated 1128 which names Anseau and his three sons who are named below but gives no indication of the precise source[936]. "Wido comes Pontivi" confirmed "mansionem apud Sanctum Quintinum…et terram de Friencort {Friacourt, canton d’Ault} que data est eius in elemosina de feodo Anslemi de Caioco" to the church of Eu, by charter dated to [1126/47][937]. Champagne states that Anseau [I] died "vers 1136" but does not provide the basis for his statement[938]. m ---. The name of Anseau’s wife is not known. Anseau & his wife had [five] children:

a) GUILLAUME [I] de Cayeux (-after 1160). Belleval names Guillaume (and his descendants), Etienne ("sans suite") and Arnould ("auteur de la branche des seigneurs de Longvillers") as the sons of Anseau [I] de Cayeux[939]. Seigneur de Cayeux, de Bouillancourt-en-Sery, de Sénarpont et de Bouttencourt[940]. m ---. The name of Guillaume’s wife is not known. Guillaume [I] & his wife had one child:

i) GUILLAUME [II] de Cayeux (-1223, bur Sery).

ETIENNE de Cayeux (-after May 1161). "…Stephanum de Kaieu" subscribed the charter dated May 1161 under which Mathieu Comte de Boulogne confirmed the possessions of Samer[943]. The Historia Comitum Ghisnensium records that "episcopus Framericus" (bishop of Thérouanne) granted property "in terra Bolonensium", which "Stephanus et Anselmus de Chaiocho" held in fee from "Ardensi domino", to "Herredum" on his marriage to "neptem eius…Adele"[944]. Champagne points out the chronological anomaly in this passage, due to Frameric’s bishopric being recorded between 964 to 995[945]. It is assumed, therefore, that the mention of Etienne and Anseau de Cayeux was inserted as a reference for contemporary readers to enable the land in question to be better identified.

c) ARNOUL de Cayeux . Belleval names Guillaume (and his descendants), Etienne ("sans suite") and Arnould ("auteur de la branche des seigneurs de Longvillers") as the sons of Anseau [I] de Cayeux[946]. Champagne says that no document exists to indicate that Arnoul, son of Anseau [I], was the same person as the ancestor of the later seigneur de Longvilliers (see below)[947]. From a chronological point of view, it appears unlikely to be correct, considering the death of Anseau [I] in [1135] and that Arnoul [I] de Cayeux seigneur de Longvilliers was named in a charter dated 1197.

d) [ANSEAU [II] de Cayeux . The Historia Comitum Ghisnensium records that "episcopus Framericus" (bishop of Thérouanne) granted property "in terra Bolonensium", which "Stephanus et Anselmus de Chaiocho" held in fee from "Ardensi domino", to "Herredum" on his marriage to "neptem eius…Adele"[948]. Champagne points out the chronological anomaly in this passage, due to Frameric’s bishopric being recorded between 964 to 995[949]. It is assumed, therefore, that the mention of Etienne and Anseau de Cayeux was inserted as a reference for contemporary readers to enable the land in question to be better identified. The relationship between Etienne and Anseau is not mentioned, but it is assumed that they were brothers or father and son.]

e) MELISENDE de Cayeux (-after 1142). "Milesende de Cayeu fille d’Ansel et épouse de Hugues Fretels de Vilers" is named in a charter dated 1142 which records the donation of property at Hestruval to the abbey of Saint-Josse-au-Bois[950]. m (before 1142) HUGUES Fretel Seigneur de Vilers, son of --- (-after 1157).

Champagne says that the wife of Guillaume [II] was the daughter of Elbert [III] Seigneur de Carency[961]. He cites letters dated Nov 1210 which name "Willermo de Keu domino de Carency", adding that the name of Guillaume [II]’s son "Wibert" is also indicative as it resembles the name "Elbert"[962].

No primary source has yet been identified which confirms this marriage. Because of the inherent inaccuracy of the old secondary sources which report the seigneurs de Cayeux, it is suggested that the marriage should be viewed with caution until a primary source emerges.] m [secondly/thirdly] MARGUERITE, daughter of --- (-after Jul 1239). “Wirlelmus de Kaeu miles dominus de Boulaincourt” donated harvest “in grangia mea de Boulaincourt” to Mont Saint-Martin, with the consent of “uxoris meæ Margaritæ et filii et heredis mei Wirlelmi militis domini de Carenci”, by charter dated Jul 1239[977].

Guillaume [II] & his [second] wife had one child:

c) CATHERINE de Cayeux (-after Apr 1285). La Gorgue-Rosny records her parentage and marriage but does not cite the corresponding primary source[982]. The late 13th century genealogy by Balduinus de Avennis records that “Nicolaus”, son of “soror...Eustachio de Rodio...quarti” and her husband “domino Jacobo de Bailleul”, married “filiam domini Guillelmi de Keu unicam, et ideo terram tenet de Karenci et de Vilers de Facon post mortem dicti Guilelmi de Keu”[983].

[Three] brothers, parents not known, presumably descended from Anseau [I] de Cayeux:

1. ARNOUL [I] de Cayeux (-after Apr 1197). Belleval names Guillaume (and his descendants), Etienne ("sans suite") and Arnould ("auteur de la branche des seigneurs de Longvillers") as the sons of Anseau [I] de Cayeux[990]. Champagne says that no document exists to indicate that Arnoul, son of Anseau [I], was the same person as the ancestor of the later seigneur de Longvilliers[991]. From a chronological point of view, it appears unlikely to be correct: Anseau [I] de Cayeux is recorded in 1090, whereas Arnoul [I] de Cayeux seigneur de Longvilliers is named in a charter dated 1197. Seigneur de Longvilliers. William of Andres records that "dominum Arnulphum de Kaeu et dominam Adelidem de Bavelinghem uxorem eius" donated property "apud Diependale" to the abbey of Andres, confirming the donation made by "dominum Hugonem patrem ipsius domine" before the marriage of "filiam suam", with the consent of "domini Balduini comitis Gisnensis", and retired to the abbey, dated to 1196[992].

She married secondly Daniel de Gand. The Historia Comitum Ghisnensium names "Adelidem" as the only daughter of "Hugonem" (son of "Eustacio…de Balinghehen" and his wife Adelaide illegitimate daughter of Robert [Manassès] Comte de Guines) and his wife "Mathildem puerili nomine Matham…filiam Laurette de Hammis", adding that she married firstly "Ernulpho de Caiou" and secondly "Danieli fratri Sigeri castellani de Gandavo"[996]. Arnoul [I] & his wife had three children:

a) ANSEAU [IV] de Cayeux ([1165/80]-after Jun 1221). Belleval names Arnoul and Anseau as sons of Arnoul de Cayeux and his wife but cites no primary source[997]. [Champagne states that "Anselme de Chaieu" witnessed a charter dated 5 Jun 1190 under which "Bauduin d’Hermelinghen" donated property to Beaulieu abbey[998]. He identifies this person as Anseau [IV], but from a chronological point of view it is also possible that he was Anseau [III].] "Anselme de Cayeu ‘le jeune’ et Guillaume son frère" subscribed a charter 1195 under which "Bauduin d’Assonval" donated property to Clairmarais abbey[999]. "Dominum Arnulfus de Kaieu et dominam Adelidem de Bavelingem uxorem eius" donated property to the abbey of Andres, with the consent of "filiorum meorum Anselmi, Willelmi", by charter dated 1196[1000]. Seigneur de Longvilliers. "…Ansellus de Keu…" subscribed the charter dated Aug 1201 under which Renaud Comte de Boulogne agreed with Philippe II King of France the future betrothal of his daughter Mathilde to the king’s son Philippe[1001]. "Anselmus de Kayeu dominus de Longovillari" confirmed a donation to the abbey of Clairmarais made by "Willelmus de More" by charter dated 1206[1002]. Champagne states that "Ansiau de Caieu, pair du Boulonnais, vassal du comte Renaud" is one of the principle personnages in the "roman d’Eustache le Moine", celebrated pirate from Boulogne, which was written in [1225/30], in which he is reported as having accompanied Richard I King of England on crusade, served faithfully Renaud Comte de Dammartin, and fought at his side at the battle of Bouvines in Jul 1214[1003]. La Gorgue-Rosny also states that "Anselme [de Cayeux]" was one of the knights "du comté de Boulogne" at the battle of Bouvines but he does not cite the corresponding primary source[1004]. "Ansellus de Longvillari" witnessed the charter dated Jun 1221 under which Guillaume de Saint-Omer donated property to the abbey of Saint-André-au-Bois[1005]. Adam Bishop of Morins confirmed the possessions of Notre-Dame de Licques, including the donation of “decimam in parrochia de Audrewic” made by “Manassetis et Arnulfi de Kaieu et uxoris eius Aelidis et filiorum eorum” with the consent of “eorumdem domino Arnulfo comite Gisnensi”, by charter dated Feb 1224[1006]. m ([1200]) as her second husband, ALAIS de Saint-Omer, widow of BAUDOUIN [I] de Créquy, daughter of GUILLAUME [IV] Châtelain de Saint-Omer, Seigneur de Fauquembergues & his wife Ida d'Avesnes (-after 1218). The late 13th century genealogy by Balduinus de Avennis names "Alaydis" as fourth daughter of "castellano Sancti-Audomari domino Wilelmo" and his wife, adding that she married "Balduino de Creki" (as his second wife) and secondly "domino Anselmo de Lomviler domino de Kahen", naming her descendants by both marriages[1007]. Adam Bishop of Morins confirmed the possessions of Notre-Dame de Licques, including the donation of “decimam in parrochia de Audrewic” made by “Manassetis et Arnulfi de Kaieu et uxoris eius Aelidis et filiorum eorum” with the consent of “eorumdem domino Arnulfo comite Gisnensi”, by charter dated Feb 1224[1008]. Anseau [IV] & his wife had three children:

i) ARNOUL [III] de Cayeux (-before Jul 1248).

ii) IDA de Cayeux . The late 13th century genealogy by Balduinus de Avennis names "filiarum una…Yda" as one of the two daughters of "domino Anselmo de Lomviler domino de Kahen" and his wife, adding that Ida married "domino Engelramo de Liskes" by whom she had three sons and one daughter (who the source names)[1013]. m ENGUERRAND [II] Seigneur de Licques, son of EUSTACHE [III] Seigneur de Licques & his wife --- (-after 1276).

iii) daughter . The late 13th century genealogy by Balduinus de Avennis names "filiarum una…Yda" as one of the two daughters of "domino Anselmo de Lomviler domino de Kahen" and his wife, the source not naming the second daughter[1014]. same person as…? ALIX de Cayeux (-Paris 1249, bur Montmartre). Père Anselme records that Roger de Bournonville married "Aleide de Longvilliers-Cayeux, mourut à Paris en 1249 et fut enterrée à Montmartre" by whom he was ancestor of the later Bournonville family, but he cites no primary source on which the information is based[1015]. From a chronological point of view, assuming that the information is correct, Alix could have been the second daughter of Anseau [IV] de Cayeux. m as his first wife, ROGER de Bournonville, son of ROBERT de Bournonville & his wife ---.

b) GUILLAUME de Cayeux (-after 1218). "Dominum Arnulfus de Kaieu et dominam Adelidem de Bavelingem uxorem eius" donated property to the abbey of Andres, with the consent of "filiorum meorum Anselmi, Willelmi", by charter dated 1196[1016]. "Anselme de Cayeu ‘le jeune’ et Guillaume son frère" subscribed a charter 1195 under which "Bauduin d’Assonval" donated property to Clairmarais abbey[1017].

c) ARNOUL [II] de Cayeux (-after 1227). Belleval names Arnoul and Anseau as sons of Arnoul de Cayeux and his wife but cites no primary source[1018].

2. ETIENNE de Cayeux (-after [1188/90]). Ida Ctss de Boulogne relinquished rights in favour of the town of Montreuil by undated charter, witnessed by "Ernulfi de Kaiolo, Stephani fratris sui…"[1019]. Champagne dates this document to [1188/90][1020].

3. [ANSEAU [III] de Cayeux . Champagne refers in passing to Etienne, brother of Arnoul [I] de Cayeux Seigneur de Longvilliers, being recorded as having another brother "Anselme", but he does not cite the primary source on which this information is based[1021]. Champagne states that "Anselme de Chaieu" witnessed a charter dated 5 Jun 1190 under which "Bauduin d’Hermelinghen" donated property to Beaulieu abbey[1022]. He identifies this person as Anseau [IV] (see above), but from a chronological point of view it is also possible that he was Anseau [III]. As discussed further below, Anseau [III] appears to be the best candidate among the individuals named Anseau in the Cayeux family to be identified with Anseau whose activities in the campaigns of the Fourth Crusade are recorded by Villehardouin.]

The most difficult problem associated with the Cayeux family is identifying precisely the persons named "Anseau de Cayeux" whose careers took them to the Latin empire of Constantinople and their relationship with the main branches of the Cayeux family in northern France. The career of "Anseau de Cayeux" is recorded between 1204 and 1273, which suggests that there were at least two different individuals with that name. Villehardouin records that "Count Hugh of St Paul, Peter of Amiens his nephew…Anseau of Cayeux" formed the third division in the attack on Constantinople by the Fourth Crusade in 1204, names "Anseau of Cayeux" among those who defeated Theodoros Laskaris later in the same year, and records that Henri de Flandre left "Anseau of Cayeux" in command of the city of Bizye[1023]. The fact that Anseau was left in command of the city suggests that he was a mature individual, indicating that it is unlikely that he was born much later than [1180]. Champagne states that Anseau was seriously wounded in the neck by a lance during a battle against Theodoros Angelos Komnenos "Théodore d’Epire" (presumably identified as Theodoros Angelos Komnenos who installed himself as lord of Epirus in 1215 and as despot and autokrator in Thessaloniki in 1224, see the document THESSALONIKI), which therefore automatically dates the event to much later than the initial campaign of the Fourth Crusade[1024]. Of the individuals named Anseau who are shown above in the present document, Anseau [I] of course belongs to a much earlier generation, and it is also likely that his probable son Anseau [II] would have been too old to be identified with Villehardouin’s Anseau. The shadowy Anseau [III] would fit from a chronological point of view, and also Anseau [IV]. In the case of the latter, the documents quoted above show a continuous career in northern France between 1195 and 1221, but no record dated between Aug 1201 and 1206 during which period he could have joined the Fourth Crusade. However, if the report of Anseau’s being wounded in battle against Theodoros of Epirus is correct, the Anseau in Constantinople could not have been Anseau [IV] who was recorded in the west between 1214 and 1221. It is assumed therefore that Anseau [III] is the best candidate to be identified with Villehardouin’s Anseau. The next chronological reference to Anseau is dated to 1237, and this has been assumed, in the present document, to refer to Anseau [V] who is shown below. If this is correct, it is possible that Anseau [V] was the son of Anseau [III], maybe called to Constantinople during his father’s old age or after he had died.

1. ANSEAU [V] de Cayeux ([1195/1205]-[13 May 1273/Mar 1276]). Regent of the Latin empire of Constantinople in 1237: the Continuator of William of Tyre records that, after the death in Mar 1237 of Emperor Jean de Brienne and the succession of "fiz moult juene…Baudoin", the barons appointed "baille et garde del empire et del enfant un vaillant home…Anseau" who "maintint bien la terre selonc le mauvais point en quoi ele estoit" and "por ce que il la peust meauz maintenir, fist il pais et aliance o les Comanz, et esposa la fille d’un Coman por meauz atraire les a soi"[1025]. Emperor Baudouin was in the west seeking allies to defend Constantinople between 1236 and July 1239. It is therefore probable that Anseau was appointed as regent only for the period of Baudouin’s absence, after the death of Emperor Jean. The choice of Anseau suggests that he must already have held a position of importance in the imperial government and that therefore he was reasonably mature at the time, suggesting a birth date range of [1195/1205], but no source has yet been found which confirms that this speculation is correct. Champagne says that, after the return to Constantinople of Emperor Baudouin, Anseau held "différents commandements sur terre et sur mer et se distingua contre les Bulgares, contre les Grecs, contre les Lombards"[1026]. The primary sources which confirm that this statement is correct have not been identified. Georgius Akropolites records that "Aseldecaë [Ασέλ Δεκαέ]" (="Ansel de Cayeu") led Latin imperial troops "apud Tzurulum" against Emperor Ioannes III Vatatzes, but fled to Constantinople leaving behind his wife "Eudocia soror uxoris imperatoris", who was later expelled and sent back to Constantinople as well, dated to [1247] from the context of the passage[1027]. After [1247], it is difficult to be certain whether the references to Anseau de Cayeux are to the same person as Anseau [V], although the charter dated Jun 1277, under which his supposed widow "Marie de Kaieu jadis fame monseigneur Ansel de Kaieu, grant baron et camberlenc de l ‘empiere de Costantinoble, et Anseaus, leur fils" donated property to the monks of Dommartin[1028], suggests that there was probably only one Anseau de Cayeux. Pope Innocent IV issued a dispensation for the marriage of "Anselmum de Keu ac Mariam natam Matildis dominæ de Posaga, natæ comitissæ Viennensis" dated 15 Aug 1253, and the marriage licence for "Maria, nate quondam Calojohanni" dated 13 Jan 1254, the documents naming "imperatore Constantinopolitano, eiusdem Matildis avunculo"[1029]. Pope Alexander IV confirmed the marriage of "nobili viro Anselmo domino de Keu et Marie uxori eius" dated 15 Jan 1255[1030]. McDaniel assumes that the bridegroom Anseau was "resident in or held lands around Keu", on the basis of the information contained in this marriage dispensation and licence[1031]. He identifies "Keu" as "present-day Banostor" in Hungary. However, it is more likely that "Keu" in these documents represents an imaginative rendering of "Cayeux", especially given the number of orthographic variations of the name which are found in contemporary primary sources. Anseau was appointed Vicar-General of Albania in 1273 by Charles I King of Sicily [Anjou-Capet]: "Anselmo de Caen" was named "Capitaneum et Vicarium generale in Regno Albanie" by charter dated 13 May 1273[1032]. [m firstly ---. No direct indication of this supposed first marriage has been found. However, the date of Anseau’s marriage to the Kuman princess ([Mar 1237/1239]) would be late for a first marriage, assuming that his birth date is correctly estimated as shown above. No details are known about Anseau’s career before 1237, but it is possible that he was called to Constantinople from France and, if this is correct, that his supposed first wife was French. It is assumed that this first wife died without leaving surviving children.] m [secondly] ([Mar 1237/1239]) ---, daughter of --- of the Kumans. The Continuator of William of Tyre records that "…Anseau" married "la fille d’un Coman" as part of his alliance with the Kuman people[1033]. m [thirdly] ([1239/47]) EVDOKIA Laskarina, daughter of THEODOROS I Emperor in Nikaia and his first wife Anna Angelina ([1210/12]-[1247/53]). Georgius Akropolites names "Irene, Maria et Eudocia" as the three daughters of "Theodorum Lascarim imperatorem…ex Anna uxore"[1034]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records that one of the daughters (mentioned fourth) of "Lascarum Grecum" married "Anselmus de Kiev, de Pontivo natus"[1035]. Georgius Akropolites records that "Eudocia soror uxoris imperatoris" was the wife of "Aseldecaë [Ασέλ Δεκαέ]" (="Ansel de Cayeu") at "apud Tzurulum" which was besieged by Emperor Ioannes III Vatatzes, her husband fleeing, Evdokia later being sent to Constantinople, dated to [1247] from the context of the passage[1036]. Ephræmius records that "sororem reginæ…Eudociam" married "Aseldecao Italo dynastæ"[1037]. The reference to "Italo" is presumably deduced from Anseau’s later appointment as Vicar-General by Charles I King of Sicily [Anjou-Capet] (see above). If it is correct, as shown below, that it was Anseau [V] who married Maria Angelina, and not a younger person also named Anseau de Cayeux, Evdokia must have died before 1253. m [fourthly] (Papal dispensation 15 Aug 1253, licence 13 Jan 1254) MARIA Angelina, daughter of IOANNES "Kaloiannes" Angelos & his wife Mathilde von Vianden (-after 1285). Pope Innocent IV issued a dispensation for the marriage of "Anselmum de Keu ac Mariam natam Matildis dominæ de Posaga, natæ comitissæ Viennensis" dated 15 Aug 1253, and the marriage licence for "Maria, nate quondam Calojohanni" dated 13 Jan 1254, the documents naming "imperatore Constantinopolitano, eiusdem Matildis avunculo"[1038]. Pope Alexander IV confirmed the marriage of "nobili viro Anselmo domino de Keu et Marie uxori eius" dated 15 Jan 1255[1039]. "Marie de Kaieu jadis fame monseigneur Ansel de Kaieu, grant baron et camberlenc de l ‘empiere de Costantinoble, et Anseaus, leur fils" donated property to the monks of Dommartin by charter dated Jun 1277[1040]. "Anslaus de Kayeu fieus et hoirs Ansiel de Kayeu chevalier jadis boutellier de Seles" confirmed possessions of the church of Dommartin, with the consent of "Marie me dame et me mère", by charter dated Mar 1276[1041]. McDaniel dates her last documented appearance to 1285[1042]. Anseau [V] & his [third] wife had one child:

a) EUDOXIA [Marie] de Cayeux (-before 1275). Her parentage and marriage are shown by Champagne in a genealogical table but he cites no corresponding primary source[1043]. 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.

b) ANSEAU [VI] de Cayeux (-after Nov 1288).

"Marie de Kaieu jadis fame monseigneur Ansel de Kaieu, grant baron et camberlenc de l ‘empiere de Costantinoble, et Anseaus, leur fils" donated property to the monks of Dommartin by charter dated Jun 1277[1045]. "Anssiaus de Cayeu chevaliers sires de Dominois" donated property to the abbey of Valoires, with the consent of "me dame Maroie me femme", by charter dated Apr 1283[1046].

G. SEIGNEURS de RAMBURES

Rambures is situated about 15 kilometres south-west of Abbeville, about 40 kilometres west of Amiens, in the present-day French département of Somme, arrondissement Amiens. In medieval times, the seigneurie de Rambures was located in the county of Ponthieu.

The following reconstruction follows the outline proposed in 1872 by René de Belleval, who indicates that it is “prouvée à chaque degré par les titres les plus authenitiques”[1061]. Unfortunately, he provides no source citations. Nevertheless, his descriptions of the sources in question are detailed enough to suggest that his information is reliable. Belleval indicates that, concerning the early generations of the family, Père Anselme “a jeté la confusion au lieu d’apporter la lumière”[1062]. The differences are highlighted below. Belleval’s information is in part corroborated by documents in the Rambures archives, the earliest of which names the person shown below as André [III] and dates from the late-14th century. In addition to the following, Belleval suggests that the earliest known family members were “Anseau de Rambures”, named in a charter of Henri I King of France for Hasnon abbey dated Aug 1058, and “Robert de Rambures” who witnessed a 1071 charter of Lièbert Bishop of Cambrai (no citation references), but indicates that he was not able to trace their relatiionships with the later family members[1063].

1. JEAN [I] de Rambures (-after Jun 1191). Seigneur de Rambures. Belleval records that “Jean de Rambures, chevalier” acted as guarantor for a loan from “Poncet d’Anvin” to “T. de La Court, marchand génois” in the camp at Acre in Jun 1191[1064].

Belleval records his parentage, noting that he sold “dîmes à l’abbaye de Sery” by charter dated 1204, which names “Judith, sa femme, et André, son fils” (no source citation)[1066]: Seigneur de Rambures. “Rambures (Raoul Sire de)” sold “la disme de Biencolart, d’Angle--- et de Cannepart” to Sery , with the consent of “Judith sa femme, d’André son fils, de messire Guillaume de Cayeu chevalier son seigr, de Lizabeth femme dudit Guillaume, de Eustache et Guillaume leur fils”, by charter dated 1204[1067]. m JUDITH, daughter of --- (-after 1204).

a) [SUZANNE de Rambures . Belleval records her parentage and marriage (no source citation)[1166]. The marriage contract between “Suzanne de Rambures” and “Jean de Boubers” is dated Nov 1486[1167]. Given the likely chronology of her supposed mother’s family (her supposed maternal grandfather’s birth is estimated, with reasonable certainty, to [1450/51?]), Suzanne’s marriage as early as 1486 is surprising: could the date be an error? Another possiblity is that Suzanne was not André [V]’s daughter but belonged to a younger branch of the Rambures family. m ([contract [2] Nov 1486]) JEAN de Boubers, son of ---.]
