B. SEIGNEURS d'ANTIBES et de CAGNES, co-SEIGNEURS de MENTON (GRIMALDI)

ANTONIO Grimaldi, son of RANIERO [I] Grimaldi & his first wife --- (-[1358]). Père Anselme names Antonio as a younger son of Rainerio [I] Grimaldi and as ancestor of the “seigneurs d’Antibes et de Corbon”[22]. His parentage is confirmed by the 27 Mar 1344 charter quoted below. A charter dated 2 Feb 1341 records a treaty between “domini Symonis Boccanegre...Januensium ducis...” and “domini Karoli de Grimaldis militis [...Gabrieli de Grimaldis quondam Ghasparis], Antonii de Grimaldis...”, including rights in “terra Monaco castro...terra Rochebrune...Castro Francho”[23]. Co-seigneur de Monaco: a charter dated 5 Aug 1342 records the response of “dominorum Antonii de Grimaldis, Gabrielis de Grimaldis, condominis dicti castri de Monacho et Luquini de Grimaldis, alias dicti Rubei, vicarii dicti loci” to a summons from the Niçois relating to rights at sea[24]. Jeanne Queen of Sicily ordered payments to “Carolo de Grimaldis militi et Antonio de Grimaldis” for “manutencionis custodie castri Monaci” by charter dated 3 Jun 1343[25]. Jeanne Queen of Sicily confirmed the offices of “vicariorum nostrorum comitatuum Provincie e Forcalquerii” granted to “Caroli de Grimaldis de Janua et Antonii de Grimaldis fratrum” by her grandfather by charter dated 27 Mar 1344[26]. Co-seigneur de Monaco: “Charles Grimaldi chevalier seigneur de Menton et Antoine Grimaldi” acknowledged holding “les biens, terre, château...de Monaco par indivis entre eux et par moitié” by charter dated 29 Jun 1352[27].

m CATERINA Doria, daughter of ---. Père Anselme records her family origin and marriage[28]. The primary source which confirms this information has not been identified.

Antonio & his wife had five children:

1. NICOLAS Grimaldi (-after 19 Apr 1346). “Nobilis vir Manuel Venti de Janua dominus in parte castri de Menthono...Raffi Venti fratris sui et...Arahoni Venti nepotis sui, filii quondam...Andaroni Venti, condominorum...dicti castri Menthoni” granted “castrum de Menthono et territorium ipsius” to “domino Karolo de Grimaldis militis de Janua”, in the presence of “...Nicholoxio de Grimaldis filio domini Anthonii de Grimaldi de Janua”, by charter dated 19 Apr 1346[29].

2. MARCO (-after 15 Jul 1392). A charter dated 4 Apr 1368 records instructions to “Marchum de Grimaldis, nomine procuratorio...domini Raynerii” for armaments at Nice when Louis Duc d’Anjou attacked Tarascon, in the presence of “Luca de Grimaldis, Johanne de Grimaldis, quondam Anthonioti...”[30]. Jeanne Queen of Sicily confirmed that “Raynerius de Grimaldis de Janua miles” sold “medietatem castri de Canea [Cagnes], de bajulia Villenove” to “Marchus et Lucas de Grimaldis de Janua fratres...cambellani...nostri” by charter dated 8 Nov 1371[31]. Co-seigneur de Menton: the inhabitants of Menton swore homage to “Marchus et Luchas de Grimaldis fratres domini novissimi castri...de Mentono”, after buying their interest from “Georgium de Carreto natum...domini Manuelis de Carreto marchionis Saonensis et Cravexane, dominique Olivensis”, by charter dated 30 Aug 1382[32]. A charter dated 15 Jul 1392 records a dispute between Genoa and “dominis Raynerio, Marco et Luce de Grimaldis dominis...Mentoni” regarding the privileges of Monaco and certain duties they had imposed[33]. m SIBILLA di Saluzzo, daughter of ---. Père Anselme records her family origin and marriage[34]. The primary source which confirms this information has not been identified. Marco & his wife had three children:

a) HONORE Grimaldi (-[8 Sep 1433/Mar 1437], bur Nice Franciscan church). Co-seigneur de Menton. Saige records his parentage, noting that he died childless[35]. The inhabitants of Menton swore homage to the sons of Marco and Luca Grimaldi, who had divided the seigneurie de Menton (each taking one-twelfth) with the sons of Ranieri Grimaldi Seigneur de Monaco (who shared the other half), by charter dated to before 16 Feb 1424[36]. “Nicolaus de Grimaldis condominus Mentoni, ac ipse Nicolaus et Obertus de Grimaldis quondam domini Luce, civis Janue, procuratores...Ambrosii, Georgii et Honorati de Grimaldis condominorum Mentoni et Rochebrune” and “Johannes de Grimaldis, quondam domini Raynerii” swore allegiance to Filippo Maria Visconti Duke of Milan by charter dated 6 Oct 1428[37]. Saige records that, when Honoré died, his twelfth share in the seigneurie de Menton passed to his first cousin Nicolas Grimaldi[38]. The testament of Honoré Grimaldi, dated 8 Sep 1433, chose burial in the Franciscan church of Nice[39]. A charter dated 27 Mar 1437, issued by “Thomas dux” [Tommaso di Campo Fregoso Doge of Genoa], records that, on the deaths of “Georgius et Honoratus...Marci heredes, sine liberis discedentes”, their properties were inherited by “natis...quondam Luce”[40]. m MARIETTE de Bouliers, daughter of --- (-after 4 Jul 1437, bur Nice Franciscan church). Saige records her family origin and marriage[41]. [Père Anselme names Marie Lascaris, daughter of Guillaume Pierre [III] Lascaris Comte de Tende, as wife of Honoré Grimaldi (no source cited)[42]. This suggestion is chronologically unlikely given Guillaume Pierre [III]’s death in [1358/63] and his 8 Apr 1358 testament which names his five daughters (none named Mariette)[43]. Gioffredo, in one passage, suggests that Honoré Grimaldi’s wife belonged to a later generation of the Lascaris family, naming “Antonio Lascaris conte di Tenda...Marietta sua figlia avuta da Margarita del Caretto dei Marchesi del Finale” as his wife (no source cited)[44]. This passage is confused as “Margherita di Caretto” was recorded elsewhere as the wife of Antonio’s son, Honoré Lascaris Comte de Tende. From a chronological point of view, it also seems unlikely that Honoré Grimaldi’s wife was the daughter of Antonio, given the chronology of his son Honoré (married “before [1450/55?]”, died 1474 leaving a minor son and heir). Gioffredo’s suggestion in any case seems disproved by the testament of Honoré Lascaris, dated 4 Feb 1474, which bequeathed property to “...sue sorelle figlie della fu Marietta...Catterina, Leonetta, Emeria e Margarita...”[45], whereas Honoré Grimaldi died childless (unless the four children were born to Honoré’s wife by an otherwise unrecorded earlier marriage, although that also seems chronologically improbable). In another passage, Gioffredo suggests yet another parentage for Honoré Grimaldi’s wife, recording that the testament of “Marietta Lascaris figlia Luchino Lascaris Signore di Tenda”, wife of Honoré Grimaldi, dated 4 Jul 1437, chose burial in the Franciscan church of Nice[46].]

b) GEORGES Grimaldi (-[6 Oct 1428/Mar 1437]). Co-seigneur de Menton. Saige records his parentage[47]. The inhabitants of Menton swore homage to the sons of Marco and Luca Grimaldi, who had divided the seigneurie de Menton (each taking one-twelfth) with the sons of Ranieri Grimaldi Seigneur de Monaco (who shared the other half), by charter dated to before 16 Feb 1424[48]. “Nicolaus de Grimaldis condominus Mentoni, ac ipse Nicolaus et Obertus de Grimaldis quondam domini Luce, civis Janue, procuratores...Ambrosii, Georgii et Honorati de Grimaldis condominorum Mentoni et Rochebrune” and “Johannes de Grimaldis, quondam domini Raynerii” swore allegiance to Filippo Maria Visconti Duke of Milan by charter dated 6 Oct 1428[49]. Saige records that, on his death, his twelfth share in the seigneurie de Menton passed to his three surviving first cousins Nicolas, Philippe and Pierre Grimaldi[50]. A charter dated 27 Mar 1437, issued by “Thomas dux” [Tommaso di Campo Fregoso Doge of Genoa], records that, on the deaths of “Georgius et Honoratus...Marci heredes, sine liberis discedentes”, their properties were inherited by “natis...quondam Luce”[51]. m ISABELLA Fieschi, daughter of ---. Saige records her family origin and marriage[52]. Georges & his wife had three children:

i) CATHERINE Grimaldi . Saige records her parentage and marriage, noting in a later passage that René d’Anjou King of Sicily confirmed the daughters of Georges Grimaldi in their father’s inheritance by charters dated 1438 and 1439, despite his property having been transferred to his first cousins, the dispute being submitted to arbitration in 1441, the judgment dated Apr 1444 establishing the shares of each party[53]. m (before 1438?) PIERRE Lascaris de Tende, son of ANTOINE Lascaris Comte de Tende & his wife ---.

ii) BARTHOLOMEE Grimaldi .

Chapter 2. FREJUS

A. VICOMTES de FREJUS

The county of Fréjus was bound to the east by the county of Antibes and the Mediterranean, to the south by the county of Toulon, to the west by the county of Aix, and to the north by the counties of Riez and Glandevez[137].

1. FRANCON [I] . m ---. The name of Francon´s wife is not known. Francon & his wife had [three] children:

a) FRANCON [II] (-after 1036). Vicomte de Fréjus. "Franco et uxor mea et filii mei" donated "in comitatu Forojuliense in villa Burnis situm" to Marseille Saint-Victor by charter dated 10 Jun 1035[138]. A charter dated 1036 records the donation by "Franco" of "ville…Burnus…in comitatu Forojuliense super fluvium Argencium"[139]. A charter dated to [1055] records the history of "villa Burnis…in comitatu Forojuliense", granted by "domnus Ysarnus" abbot of Marseille Saint-Victor to "Franconi, filio Franconis, vicecomitis Forojuliensi" and the subsequent confirmation by Abbot Marcellinus to "Wilelmi vicecomitis Forojuliensi"[140]. m AIMERUDE, daughter of GUILLAUME [II] Vicomte de Marseille & his first wife Aiceline de Baux. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. Francon [II] & his wife had --- children:

i) sons (-after 10 Jun 1035). "Franco et uxor mea et filii mei" donated "in comitatu Forojuliense in villa Burnis situm" to Marseille Saint-Victor by charter dated 10 Jun 1035[141]. The number of sons is not known. It is assumed that they died without heirs before 1057, the date of the charter under which Francon [II]´s sister donated the same property (see below).

b) ADALGARDE (-after 1057). "Willelmus cognomento juvenis et uxor mea…Adalgarda et filii mei Fulco, Gaufredus, Poncius, Aicardus" donated "quartam partem villule…Burnis" to Marseille Saint-Victor, confirming the donation by "sororius meus Franco", by charter dated 1057, which also records a similar donation by "Rostagnus Raimbaldus et uxor mea…Accelena et filii mei Franco"[142]. m GUILLAUME [III] Vicomte de Marseille, son of GUILLAUME [II] Vicomte de Marseille & his first wife Aiceline de Baux (-25 Jul 1085).

c) [AISCELINE (-after 1057). "Willelmus cognomento juvenis et uxor mea…Adalgarda et filii mei Fulco, Gaufredus, Poncius, Aicardus" donated "quartam partem villule…Burnis" to Marseille Saint-Victor, confirming the donation by "sororius meus Franco", by charter dated 1057, which also records a similar donation by "Rostagnus Raimbaldus et uxor mea…Accelena et filii mei Franco"[143]. This charter suggests that Acelene was another daughter of Francon [I] although the relationship is not stated directly. She is also named in the charter dated 1033 under which "Lambertus et uxor mea Austrudis, Amicus et uxor mea Ermengarda, Raimbaldus et uxor mea Gisla" donated property "in Lupum et…territorium Cagne castelli" to Lérins, signed by "Lanbertus, Amicus germani fratres, Raimbaldus et Rostagnus simul fratres et uxores illorum…Accelena uxor Raimbaldi; Leotgerius, Rostagnus, Raimbaldus, Odila et infantes sui…"[144]. It appears from this charter that either she or her husband was closely related to the Vence family who are the donors in this document but the precise relationship has not yet been identified. m (before 1033) ROSTAIN RAMBAUD, son of --- (-after 1057).]

Chapter 3. NICE

The county of Nice was bound to the east by the river Roya which separated it from the bishopric of Vintimille, to the south by the Mediterranean, to the west by the river Tinée, which separated it from the county of Glandevez, and the river Var, which separated it from the county of Vence, and to the north by the bishoprics of Saluces and Mondovi[145].

A. MONACO (GRIMALDI)

The influence of the commune of Genoa westwards along the coast as far as Monaco was accepted by imperial decree: Emperor Friedrich I enfeoffed the commune of Genoa in “totam maritimam a Portu Monachi usque ad Portum Veneris” by charter dated 6 Jun 1162[146], confirmed 30 May 1191 by Emperor Heinrich VI who also granted “castrum super Portum Monachi” in permanent fief to the Genoese “ad honorem Imperii et defentionem Christianorum contra Saracenos”[147]. Consuls from Genoa took possession of “podii et montis Monachi et portus eiusdem et terre adjacentis” by charter dated 2 Jul 1191[148]. The Annals of Ogerio Panis record that 6 Jun 1215 "Fulcho de Castello" sailed from Genoa “ad podium Monachi” and 10 Jun started constructing the castle[149]. Although the area fell within their natural jurisdiction, the comtes de Provence were unable to challenge imperial power and, by charter dated 22 Jul 1241, Raymond Bérenger Comte de Provence agreed Genoese control “a Monacho usque Corvum...[et] in Monacho et in podio et castro Monachi”[150], confirmed 21 Jul 1262 by Charles d’Anjou Comte de Provence[151]. Several different Genoese families, including the Spinola and Grimaldi, resided in Monaco during the 13th century. Taking advantage of the Guelf/Ghibelline wars in Italy, especially the expulsion of the Guelf faction from Genoa in 1270, Charles d’Anjou (by then king of Sicily) reasserted his control in Provence and captured Menton and Rochebrune from the Genoese[152]. Amid persistent Angevin/Genoese/Aragonese rivalries, and pressure from their powerful neighbours the dukes of Milan and Savoy, the Grimaldi family steered a steady course in Monaco which survived as an autonomous state until the present day, against all the odds. Carlo [I] Grimaldi, named below, cultivated his position at the French court and served Philippe VI King of France in his wars against the English.

Medieval Monaco straddled the Italian/French language border. The names of the early members of the Grimaldi family in Monaco are shown in French for consistency with the family’s later connections with France.

CARLO [I] Grimaldi, son of RANIERO [I] Grimaldi & his first wife --- (-[8 Apr/17 Oct] 1357).

A charter dated 2 Feb 1341 records a treaty between “domini Symonis Boccanegre...Januensium ducis...” and “domini Karoli de Grimaldis militis [...Gabrieli de Grimaldis quondam Ghasparis], Antonii de Grimaldis...”, including rights in “terra Monaco castro...terra Rochebrune...Castro Francho”[160].

Jeanne Queen of Sicily ordered payments to “Carolo de Grimaldis militi et Antonio de Grimaldis” for “manutencionis custodie castri Monaci” by charter dated 3 Jun 1343[162]. Jeanne Queen of Sicily confirmed the offices of “vicariorum nostrorum comitatuum Provincie e Forcalquerii” granted to “Caroli de Grimaldis de Janua et Antonii de Grimaldis fratrum” by her grandfather by charter dated 27 Mar 1344[163]. He acquired the Seigneurie de Menton in 1346: “Nobilis vir Manuel Venti de Janua dominus in parte castri de Menthono...Raffi Venti fratris sui et...Arahoni Venti nepotis sui, filii quondam...Andaroni Venti, condominorum...dicti castri Menthoni” granted “castrum de Menthono et territorium ipsius” to “domino Karolo de Grimaldis militis de Janua”, in the presence of “...Nicholoxio de Grimaldis filio domini Anthonii de Grimaldi de Janua”, by charter dated 19 Apr 1346[164].

He is named as deceased in the 17 Oct 1357 charter quoted below.

m ISABELLA, daughter of --- (-before ). She is named as mother of Carlo’s son Ranieri [II] in the charter dated 17 Jul 1353, quoted below, which notes “dotem domine Ysabelle quondam matris dicti domini Raynerii”[169]. The [1534] Libro de la progenie et vita de li ill. signore de Monago names “signora Luchineta, Genovesa” as the wife of “signor Carolo”[170]. Père Anselme, following Venasque[171], names “Luchinette Spinola fille de Gerard de Spinola seigneur de Dertonne” as the wife of Carlo Grimaldi and mother of his son Ranieri [II][172]. All these indications seem to be disproved by the 17 Jul 1353 charter quoted above.

Carlo & his wife had seven children:

1. RANIERI [II] Grimaldi (-Menton [8/13] Jun 1407, bur Menton Saint-Michel).

A charter dated 24 Jan [1375/76] records “domina Ysabella consors...militis domini Raynerii de Grimaldis...et Ambrosius filius...prefatorum dominorum Raynerii et Ysabelle” receiving “castra de Boyssono, de Bonsono, de Turretis, bajulie Villenove, de Castilhono comitatus Vintimilii, possessiones de Turbia vicarie Niciensis”[201]. The testament of “dominus Raynerius de Grimaldis...dominus Mentoni necnon dominus Rochebrune”, dated 8 Jun 1407, bequeathed property to “...eius filium Ambrosinum...Anthonium eius natum...Gasparum eius natum...Joannem eius natum...”[202]. Louis II d’Anjou King of Sicily confirmed a pension to “Ambrosius, Anthonius, Gaspar et Johannes de Grimaldis fratres, filii quondam...militis Raynerii de Grimaldis” by charter dated 29 Oct 1414[203]. The testament of “Isabella de Grimaldis quondam felicis memorie...domini Raynerii de Grimaldis relicta”, dated 8 Jul 1417, appointed as her heirs “Ambrosium, Anthonium et Johannem eius filios”[204]. Saige records that Ambroise and his brothers were restored as co-Seigneurs de Monaco in 1419[205]. “Ambrosius et Anthonius de Grimaldis fratres, domini de Monacho...et nomine...Johannis de Grimaldis eorum fratris” mortgaged certain land by charter dated 5 Jun 1419[206]. Louis III d’Anjou King of Sicily restored “baronia Sancti Demetrii...in ducatu Calabrie” to “Ambrosii, Anthonii et Johannis de Grimaldis fratrum civitatis Janue” by charter dated 20 Feb 1421[207]. A charter dated 16 Apr 1421 records an alliance between “nobilis Obertus de Grimaldis, quondam Luce, procurator...Ambrosii, Antonii et Johannis fratrum de Grimaldis, quondam domini Raynerii, militum, dominorum Mentoni, Rochabrune et Monaci” and “communitatis Florentie” regulated Florentine commerce[208]. “Ambrosius, Antonius et Johannes fratres de Grimaldis, quondam domini Raynerii militis, domini Monaci, Mentonis et Rochebrune” agreed an alliance with Yolande d’Anjou Queen of Sicily by charter dated 26/29 Jul 1422[209]. Co-seigneur de Menton: “Ambrosius de Grimaldis, quondam domini Raynerii, ex dominis Mentoni...et nomine Baptestine relicti...Anthonii de Grimaldis, quondam ipsius Ambrosii fratris, matris et tutricis...Anthonii de Grimaldis filii et heredis universalis dicti quondam...Anthonii” and “Johannes de Grimaldis, quondam domini Raynerii” divided their territories, Ambroise and Antoine retaining Menton and Roquebrune while Jean received Monaco and la Condamine, in the presence of “militum dominorum Ludovici de Grimaldis domini vallis Massoyinis, Johannis de Grimaldis ex dominis Antipoli et Petri de Grimaldis, nati...domini de Boleo, parentum et affinium dictorum fratrum”, by charter dated 13/14 May 1427, witnessed by “Oberto de Grimaldis cive Janue, Petro et Philippo de Grimaldis fratribus...”[210]. “Nicolaus de Grimaldis condominus Mentoni, ac ipse Nicolaus et Obertus de Grimaldis quondam domini Luce, civis Janue, procuratores...Ambrosii, Georgii et Honorati de Grimaldis condominorum Mentoni et Rochebrune” and “Johannes de Grimaldis, quondam domini Raynerii” swore allegiance to Filippo Maria Visconti Duke of Milan by charter dated 6 Oct 1428[211]. “...Domino Ambrosio de Grimaldis ex dominis Mentoni, Petro de Grimaldis quondam domine Luce...” witnessed the charter dated 21 Dec 1428 under which Filippo Maria Visconti Duke of Milan guaranteed rights of the inhabitants of Monaco[212]. A charter dated 3 Mar 1429 (O.S.) records the order to seize “gabellam veterem salis...civitatis Grasse genitori nobilium Ambrosini et Johannis...de Grimaldis...concessam et per eosdem fratres pro indiviso...possessam” in reprisal for the capture of a ship[213]. Père Anselme says that Ambroise “se noya dans la mer en pêchant l’an 1422”[214] (copying Venasque[215]), which at least for the date is contradicted by the charters quoted above. Ambroise presumably died before 13 Oct 1433 when his brother Jean is named “coseigneur de Menton”, presumably inherited from Ambroise[216]. m [LUCQUINA, daughter of --- (-after 8 Jul 1417). The testament of “Isabella de Grimaldis quondam felicis memorie...domini Raynerii de Grimaldis relicta”, dated 8 Jul 1417, bequeathed property for masses for “dominabus Luquine et Janquine de Grimaldis nurum suarum”[217]. The order of their names suggests that Lucquina was the wife of the testator’s oldest son.]

b) ANTOINE Grimaldi (-[29 Jul 1422/5 Aug 1424]). The testament of “dominus Raynerius de Grimaldis...dominus Mentoni necnon dominus Rochebrune”, dated 8 Jun 1407, bequeathed property to “...eius filium Ambrosinum...Anthonium eius natum...Gasparum eius natum...Joannem eius natum...”[218]. Louis II d’Anjou King of Sicily confirmed a pension to “Ambrosius, Anthonius, Gaspar et Johannes de Grimaldis fratres, filii quondam...militis Raynerii de Grimaldis” by charter dated 29 Oct 1414[219]. The testament of “Isabella de Grimaldis quondam felicis memorie...domini Raynerii de Grimaldis relicta”, dated 8 Jul 1417, appointed as her heirs “Ambrosium, Anthonium et Johannem eius filios”[220]. Saige records that Ambroise and his brothers were restored as co-Seigneurs de Monaco in 1419[221]. “Ambrosius et Anthonius de Grimaldis fratres, domini de Monacho...et nomine...Johannis de Grimaldis eorum fratris” mortgaged certain land by charter dated 5 Jun 1419[222]. Louis III d’Anjou King of Sicily restored “baronia Sancti Demetrii...in ducatu Calabrie” to “Ambrosii, Anthonii et Johannis de Grimaldis fratrum civitatis Janue” by charter dated 20 Feb 1421[223]. A charter dated 16 Apr 1421 records an alliance between “nobilis Obertus de Grimaldis, quondam Luce, procurator...Ambrosii, Antonii et Johannis fratrum de Grimaldis, quondam domini Raynerii, militum, dominorum Mentoni, Rochabrune et Monaci” and “communitatis Florentie” regulated Florentine commerce[224]. “Ambrosius, Antonius et Johannes fratres de Grimaldis, quondam domini Raynerii militis, domini Monaci, Mentonis et Rochebrune” agreed an alliance with Yolande d’Anjou Queen of Sicily by charter dated 26/29 Jul 1422[225]. He presumably died before 5 Aug 1424, the date of the charter quoted below in which his brother Jean is named alone as seigneur de Monaco. [m firstly ---. The 8 Jul 1417 testament of Isabella Grimaldi bequeathes property to her two daughters-in-law, although it is possible that three of her sons were married at the time. As noted below, her daughter-in-law Janquina, named second in the testament, was presumably the wife of one of the younger sons, either Antoine or Gaspard. As noted below, Antoine’s widow Baptistina is named in 1427. Her absence from the 8 Jul 1417 testament could be explained if she was Antoine’s second wife, married after the date of the testament. If that is correct, Antoine’s daughter Jeanne would have been born from an earlier marriage. The alternatives seem to be that the earlier wife was deceased at the time or that she was Janquina.] m [secondly] BAPTISTINA, daughter of --- (-after 6 Oct 1428). She is named in the 13/14 May 1427 and 6 Oct 1428 charters quoted below under her son Antoine. Antoine & his [first/second] wife had one child:

i) JEANNE Grimaldi . The testament of “Isabella de Grimaldis quondam felicis memorie...domini Raynerii de Grimaldis relicta”, dated 8 Jul 1417, bequeathed property to “Marie filie quondam...Gasparis de Grimaldis eius filii...Johanine filie...Anthonii de Grimaldis eius filii...”[226].

Antoine & his [second] wife had one child:

ii) ANTOINE Grimaldi (-after 13 Jul 1435). “Ambrosius de Grimaldis, quondam domini Raynerii, ex dominis Mentoni...et nomine Baptestine relicti...Anthonii de Grimaldis, quondam ipsius Ambrosii fratris, matris et tutricis...Anthonii de Grimaldis filii et heredis universalis dicti quondam...Anthonii” and “Johannes de Grimaldis, quondam domini Raynerii” divided their territories, Ambroise and Antoine retaining Menton and Roquebrune while Jean received Monaco and la Condamine, by charter dated 13/14 May 1427[227]. “Nicolaus de Grimaldis condominus Mentoni, ac ipse Nicolaus et Obertus de Grimaldis quondam domini Luce [...nomine et vice Antonii de Grimaldis quondam Antonii...domina Baptistina mater et tutrix dicti Antonii minoris], civis Janue, procuratores...Ambrosii, Georgii et Honorati de Grimaldis condominorum Mentoni et Rochebrune” and “Johannes de Grimaldis, quondam domini Raynerii” swore allegiance to Filippo Maria Visconti Duke of Milan by charter dated 6 Oct 1428[228]. Antoine was named in a document of Jean Seigneur de Monaco dated 13 Jul 1435[229].

Antoine had one illegitimate child by an unknown mistress:

iii) JACQUES Grimaldi . The testament of “dominus Joannes de Grimaldis dominus Monaci”, dated 5 Apr 1454, bequeathed property to “...Jacobo bastardo nobilis Antonii de Grimaldis quondam fratris dicti domini testatoris”[230].

c) GASPARD Grimaldi (-[29 Oct 1414/8 Jul 1417]). The testament of “dominus Raynerius de Grimaldis...dominus Mentoni necnon dominus Rochebrune”, dated 8 Jun 1407, bequeathed property to “...eius filium Ambrosinum...Anthonium eius natum...Gasparum eius natum...Joannem eius natum...”[231]. Louis II d’Anjou King of Sicily confirmed a pension to “Ambrosius, Anthonius, Gaspar et Johannes de Grimaldis fratres, filii quondam...militis Raynerii de Grimaldis” by charter dated 29 Oct 1414[232]. He is named as deceased in his mother’s 8 Jul 1417 testament. m [JANQUINA, daughter of ---. The testament of “Isabella de Grimaldis quondam felicis memorie...domini Raynerii de Grimaldis relicta”, dated 8 Jul 1417, bequeathed property for masses for “dominabus Luquine et Janquine de Grimaldis nurum suarum”[233]. The order of their names suggests that Janquina was the wife of one of the testator’s younger sons, possibly the widow of Gaspard. Another possibility is that Janquina was the supposed first wife of Antoine Grimaldi (see above).] Gaspard & his wife had one child:

i) MARIE Grimaldi . The testament of “Isabella de Grimaldis quondam felicis memorie...domini Raynerii de Grimaldis relicta”, dated 8 Jul 1417, bequeathed property to “Marie filie quondam...Gasparis de Grimaldis eius filii...Johanine filie...Anthonii de Grimaldis eius filii...”[234].

Saige records that Ambroise and his brothers were restored as co-Seigneurs de Monaco in 1419[236].

- see below.

e) GRIFFETTE Grimaldi ([1370-80?]-before 8 Jun 1407). The testament of “dominus Raynerius de Grimaldis...dominus Mentoni necnon dominus Rochebrune”, dated 8 Jun 1407, bequeathed property to “...Petrum, Reynerium, Anthonium et Veneciam Lascaros ex comitibus Ventimilii condominos Brige eius nepotes et filios quondam domine Grifete eius filie...domino Ludovico quondam patri eorum”[237]. m LOUIS [II] Lascaris Seigneur de la Brigue, son of --- (-before 8 Jun 1407).

Saige identifies Gabriele Grimaldi, shown below, as the same person named in the following document[238]: Charles I King of Sicily ordered a payment and “militari...cingulo decorandum” to “nobilem virum Gabrielem de Grimaldis...militem” by charter dated 5 Feb 1269[239]. Considering the date of Gabriele’s death noted below, an intervening generation seems likely.

1. GABRIELE Grimaldi (-[27 Jul 1324/1338]). Robert King of Sicily, noted services provided by “Gabrielis de Grimaldis de Janua” and payments to free “Rafaelis filii sui et Siculis” as hostages by charter dated 24 Jul 1324, granted rights to “Gasparum de Grimaldis de Janua militem” by charter dated 27 Jul 1324[240]. m ---.

Co-seigneur de Monaco: “Dominus Nicolosus Sinula milex natus quondam...domini Ingueti Spinule militis” sold houses in Monaco to “domino Rabelle de Grimaldis nato quondam domini Gabrielis de Grimaldis militis” by charter dated 9 Jul 1338[242]. “Dominus Nicholaus Spinulla de Sancto Lucha miles” sold property “infra castrum Monaci et extra dictum castrum”, not included in a previous sale dated 9 Jul 1338, to “domino Rabelle de Grimaldis, nato quondam domini Gabrielis, militis” by charter dated [12] May 1341[243].

Saige identifies Gasparo Grimaldi as the son of Gabriele Grimaldi who is named above[244]. The primary source which confirms this family relationship has not been identified. Given their respective dates of death, it seems more likely that the two were brothers.

1. GASPARO Grimaldi (-[27 Jul 1324/24 Jun 1332]). Robert King of Sicily granted rights to “Gasparum de Grimaldis de Janua militem” by charter dated 27 Jul 1324, and by charter dated 24 Jun 1332 noted services provided by “quondam Gasparum de Grimaldis de Janua militem” and renewed rights in favour of “Gabrielis, Antonii et Percevalli de Grimaldis...filiorum heredum prefati quondam Gaspari”[245]. m ---. The name of Gasparo’s wife is not known. Gasparo & his wife had three children:

m ([1424]) POMELLINA di Campo Fregoso, daughter of LEONARDO di Campo Fregoso & his wife --- (-after Feb 1466). Saige indicates that Jean [I] married “très probablement en 1424”, bearing in mind that her son was given as a hostage in 1428[276]. “Pomellina uxor...Johannis de Grimaldis, quondam domini Rainieri” agreed a treaty with the Genoese for the defence of Monaco, naming “Thomas de Campo Fregoso...dux Januensium” and “dominus Ingo legum doctor ac Dorinus et Lucianus, omnes tres Grimaldi” as representatives, by charter dated 31 Jul 1437[277].

Saige records that Pomellina retired to Menton in “la Maison des Seigneurs”, from where she fomented opposition to Lambert culminating in the Feb 1466 rebellion against his rule in Menton and Roquebrune, supported by Savoy which acquired suzerainty over the towns by charter dated 26/27 Feb 1466[284].

Jean [I] & his wife had three children:

1. CATALAN Grimaldi ([1425]-Jul 1457, bur Menton Saint-Michel). The 6/7 Oct 1428 charter quoted above notes that Jean [I] gave “filium suum” [unnamed] as a hostage.

Signor di Monaco. The testament of “dominus Cathalanus de Grimaldis, quondam...domini Johannis militis, Monaci dominus”, dated 4 Jan 1457, chose burial in “ecclesiam sancti Michaelis...de Mentono” in the tomb erected by his mother, donated property to “capelle...sancti Bernardini...in territorio Nicie...infra terram...domini Isnardi de Campo Fregoso”, bequeathed property to “domino Guigo de Campo Fregoso potestati Monaci...domine Glaudine eius filie...et esse debeat uxor...domini Lamberti de Grimaldis filii felicis memorie domini Nicolai condomini Mentoni...domina Blanqua eiusdem domini Cathalani uxor et mater predicte...Glaudine”, named “dominam Pomellinam eius matrem” as guardian of his daughter (specifically excluding his wife Bianca), appointed “dominam Bartholomeam ducissam uxorem...domini Petri de Campo Fregoso Janue ducis et sororem...Cathalani” as substitute heir[287]. m BIANCA di Finale, daughter of GALEOTTO [I] Marchese di Noli e Finale & his wife Vannina Adorno (Finale 1432-Monaco 1458).

Saige records that Catalan separated from his wife who sought refuge with “Marguerite del Caretto fille de Galeotto et sœur de Blanche” and her husband Jacques Grimaldi de Beuil after the separation[290]. Catalan & his wife had three children:

a) [JEAN] Grimaldi (-young). The [1534] Libro de la progenie et vita de li ill. signore de Monago records that Catalan had “dui figli” who died[291]. Saige records that the existence of two sons is also confirmed in “la généalogie fort exacte de Jean-Baptiste Grimaldi Cavallerone”[292]. Venasque names these two sons “Ioannes” and “Raynerius”, noting that they died “in cunabulis”[293]. The basis for these two names has not been ascertained.

b) [RAINIER] Grimaldi (-young). The [1534] Libro de la progenie et vita de li ill. signore de Monago records that Catalan had “dui figli” who died[294]. Saige records that the existence of two sons is also confirmed in “la généalogie fort exacte de Jean-Baptiste Grimaldi Cavallerone”[295].

The [1534] Libro de la progenie et vita de li ill. signore de Monago records that he was 80 years old when he died[306]. The following document shows that Lambert was still a child in [1428/29], still having a “gouvernante” (maybe under 10?): the testament of Sestarine Doria, dated 12 Mar [1428/29], named her sons Lambert and Gaspard as her heirs, and bequeathed property to “[la] gouvernante” of Lambert[307].

The plot was foiled, and named inhabitants of Monaco swore allegiance to “Lamberti de Grimaldis domini Monaci” following the plot orchestrated against him by his future mother-in-law by charter dated 16 Mar 1458, which describes the circumstances of the proposed marriage with “Georgium filium...Jaqueti de Bolio”[314].

B. GRIMALDI FAMILY in NICE

Several members of the Grimaldi family emigrated from Genoa and established themselves in Nice in the early 14th/15th centuries. Their origins in the Genoese Grimaldi families (see the document NORTHERN ITALY (2)) have not been traced, and it is even unclear whether the settlers in Nice were all members of the same branch of the family. The absence of sufficient primary source material means that the outline in this section is as yet sketchy, mainly consisting of isolated references with few family relationships specified.

The county of Vence was bound to the east by the county of Nice, to the south by the Mediterranean, to the west by the counties of Glandevez and Antibes, and to the north by the county of Glandevez[509].

However, it is clear from the documents that they enjoyed a position of some importance in the county.

Chapter 5. VENTIMIGLIA

Ventimiglia is located in the present-day Italian region of Liguria. However, the comital family was closely associated with the rulers of Provence and also ruled Roquebrune, Tendé and La Brigue, all located within the area of influence of the medieval county of Provence. It has proved difficult to verify the reconstruction of the early generations of this family, shown in Europäische Stammtafeln, from the primary sources which have been available[682]. The genealogy of the family was first attempted in the late 17th century by Dominique Robert[683]. Much of Robert’s information is unsupported by primary source citations. In cases where he refers to primary source documentation in sufficient detail to inspire confidence, details have been included in the present chapter, although no doubt many of those original sources have long since disappeared. The reconstruction is complicated by all adult male family members bearing the comital title. Other detailed reconstructions of the Ventimiglia are available on the internet, but in relation to many details none was found which is consistent with the primary source data which is extracted below.

A. CONTI di VENTIMIGLIA

1. CORRADO [I] (-before 30 Jan 1038). Conte di Ventimiglia. m ADELISIA, daughter of --- (-after 1041). "Nos germani fratres et comites Vintimiliensis…Otto et Conradus…cum matre nostra Adalais et comitissa Armilina" donated "monasterium sancti Michaelis" to Lérins by charter dated 1041[684]. Conrad & his wife had two children:

a) OTTONE [I] (-after Aug 1077). "Nos germani fratres et comites Vintimiliensis…Otto et Conradus…cum matre nostra Adalais et comitissa Armilina" donated "monasterium sancti Michaelis" to Lérins by charter dated 1041[685]. Conte di Ventimiglia. "Otho et Chonradus germani comites Vintimiliensis filii quondam item Chonradis comitis…ex natione nostra lege vivere romana" donated the church of San Michele to the monastery of San Onorato by charter dated 21 Dec 1063[686]. "Otto et Conradus iermani comites filii quondam item Conradi comitis et Donella iugalis infrascripti Ottonis comitis et filia Alberti marchionis…ex nacione nostra lege viventes romana" donated property to the church of San Michele by charter dated Aug 1077[687]. [m firstly ARMILINA, daughter of --- (-after 1041). "Nos germani fratres et comites Vintimiliensis…Otto et Conradus…cum matre nostra Adalais et comitissa Armilina" donated "monasterium sancti Michaelis" to Lérins by charter dated 1041[688]. The relationship between "comitissa Armilina" and the donors is not specified in the document. However, it is likely that she was the wife of Ottone, especially as Corrado´s wife is named in another source (see below).] m [secondly] DONELLA, daughter of Marchese ALBERTO & his wife --- (-after Aug 1077). "Otto et Conradus iermani comites filii quondam item Conradi comitis et Donella iugalis infrascripti Ottonis comitis et filia Alberti marchionis…ex nacione nostra lege viventes romana" donated property to the church of San Michele by charter dated Aug 1077[689]. The title attributed to her father suggests that he was a member of the Monferrato/Saluzzo family, where he has not yet been identified (see the document MONFERRATO, SALUZZO). Ottone [I] & his [first/second] wife had [one child]:

i) [ISTOFREDO Spedaldo (-after 6 Oct 1079). "Spedaldus filius q. domini comitis…mea lege vivere romana" donated property "mea…per divisionis…in comitatu Ventimiliense in loco et fundo Sobolcaro" to the church of San Michele, for the souls of "filiis meis qui deffuncti sunt", by charter dated Aug 1077, signed by "Jstofredus qui et Spedaldus"[690]. The document does not name the donor´s father but, as Conte Corrado [II] was recorded after that date, it is assumed that he was the son of Conte Ottone.]

b) CORRADO [II] (-after 19 Mar 1082). "Conradus comes filius quondam bone memorie Conradi itemque comes…ex nacione mea lege vivere romana…cum meis filiis filiabus" swore allegiance to "Conradus episcopus sancte Ianuensis ecclesie" by charter dated 30 Jan 1038[691]. "Nos germani fratres et comites Vintimiliensis…Otto et Conradus…cum matre nostra Adalais et comitissa Armilina" donated "monasterium sancti Michaelis" to Lérins by charter dated 1041[692]. Conte di Ventimiglia. "Otho et Chonradus germani comites Vintimiliensis filii quondam item Chonradis comitis…ex natione nostra lege vivere romana" donated the church of San Michele to the monastery of San Onorato by charter dated 21 Dec 1063[693]. "Otto et Conradus iermani comites filii quondam item Conradi comitis et Donella iugalis infrascripti Ottonis comitis et filia Alberti marchionis…ex nacione nostra lege viventes romana" donated property to the church of San Michele by charter dated Aug 1077[694].

The names of the witnesses suggest that they may have been members of the Vintimiglia family but they have not been linked definitely to other contemporary family members named in the present document. Gioffredo indicates that they were all “cugini” without further details[696]. m ODILE, daughter of LAUGIER & his wife Odile --- (-after 19 Mar 1082). "Conradus filius quondam Conradi comitis et Odila jugalis filia Laugerii" donated "ecclesiam sancti Martini…in comitatu Vintimigliense in valle Carnolense" to Lérins by charter dated 19 Mar 1082 signed "in curte propria predicti comitis de castro Vintimilie"[697].

"Obertus Vigint. comes" donated property "in Vigintimilio et in comitatu" to "civitas com. Januæ" by charter dated 6 Aug 1140[700]. A charter dated 1140 records the agreement between the people of Genoa and "marchiones filios Bonefacii…Manfredum et Hugonem et Anselmum et Henricum et Ottonem", promising not to make war secretly with "Oberto comite Vintimillii et filiis eius" with the permission of Genoa[701]. A charter dated 4 Mar 1156 names "consules...Obertus terginta modia, Otto balbus, Wilielmus bursa, Ugo curlus..."[702]. Oberto presumably died before 30 Aug 1157, the date of the charter under which his son Guido swore allegiance to Genoa (see below). m ---. The name of Oberto’s wife is not known. Oberto & his wife had [three] children:

a) [--- . A charter dated 1140 records the agreement between the people of Genoa and "marchiones filios Bonefacii…Manfredum et Hugonem et Anselmum et Henricum et Ottonem", promising not to make war secretly with "Oberto comite Vintimillii et filiis eius" with the permission of Genoa[703]. This son may have been the same person as Guido Guerra, named below.]

b) GUIDO Guerra (-[1167/Aug 1185]). Conte di Ventimiglia. "Guido Guerra comes Vintimilliensis" donated "Roccabrunam" to "communi Januæ", represented by "Oberto Spinule", by charter dated 30 Aug 1157[704].

c) OTTONE [II] (-after 4 Mar 1193). “Otto filius comitis” confirmed holding “castri Podii Pini” from Genoa by charter dated Aug 1146, guaranteed by “Obertus Vigintimiliensis comes” in a second charter dated Aug 1146[706]. Conte di Ventimiglia. From the late 12th century, consuls of the commune of Ventimiglia are named in documents, operating without the counts: a charter dated 27 Aug 1174 names "consules Oto curlo, Gulielmus speron, Obertus alfarda, Gandulfus caisol, Guillelmus tortella"[707]. The respective jurisdictions of the conti and the consules have not been studied. A charter dated 24 Feb 1177 records an agreement between "dominum Otonem commitem Vintimilii" and "dominum Laugerium abbatem sancti Honorati", subscribed by “Otonis curli, filii eius Ugonis...”[708]. “Otho comes Vintimilii” confirmed privileges granted to the community of Ventimiglia by “frater meus Guido Guerra” by charter dated 9 Sep 1185[709]. “Otto comes Vintimilii Guillilemus et Henricus pater et filii” swore allegiance to Genoa by charter dated 4 Mar 1193[710]. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Ottone’s wife has not been identified. Ottone [II] & his wife had two children:

Conte di Ventimiglia, Signor di Marro. “Guillielmus et Enricus comites Vintmililii” sold “medietatem civitatis Vintimilii...” to Genoa by charter dated 25 Feb 1200[713]. Guglielmo Conte di Ventimiglia is named as “frère d’Henri comte de Vintimille et seigneur de Marro, tous deux enfans du Comte Othon” in a charter dated 7 Jun 1203[714]. Cais de Pierlas says that Filippo [I] was the son of "Enrico signore del Maro...” was the father of Filippo [I] di Ventimiglia (see below) but cites no source which confirms this parentage[715]. The primary source which confirms this affiliation has not been identified, although Filippo [I]’s family shown below succeeded to Maro, which suggests that it is probably correct.

GUGLIELMO [I] di Ventimiglia, son of OTTONE Conte di Ventimiglia & his wife --- (-after 7 Jun 1203). “Otto comes Vintimilii Guillilemus et Henricus pater et filii” swore allegiance to Genoa by charter dated 4 Mar 1193[716].

Guglielmo [I] & his wife had three children (their parentage is confirmed by the 4 Oct 1234 charter of Oberto, quoted below):

1. EMMANUELE (-[1235/7 Apr 1258]). Cais de Pierlas names Emmanuele as a younger son of Ottone [II] Conte di Ventimiglia, noting that he and his brother Guglielmo waged war against Genoa[719]. He cites no source which confirms his information, which is contradicted by the source cited below which names Emmanuele as the brother of Oberto. Conte di Ventimiglia. Emmanuele Conte di Ventimiglia was present when “son frère Obert ou Aubert comte de Vintimille” sold “la moitié de la jurisdiction des terres de Châteauneuf...” by charter dated 2 Jul 1217[720]. Emmanuele Conte di Ventimiglia “avec Guillaume comte de Vintimille son frère” ratified an arbitration between the inhabitants of Sospel and “Aycard Tolsana” by charter dated 21 Feb 1217 (O.S.?)[721]. The Annals of Marchisio records that "comes…Willielmus Victimiliensis" attacked Genoa in 1221, ignoring the agreement made between "Manuelem fratrem suum" and the Genoese[722]. Emmanuele was named in a charter dated 1235[723]. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Emanuele’s wife has not been identified. Emanuele & his wife had two children:

a) BONIFAZIO (-before 5 Feb 1266). Conte di Ventimiglia. “Dominus Bonifacius filius condam domini Manuelli condam comitis Vintimilii...domini Georgii fratris sui” transferred their rights in “toto comitatu Vintimilii...” to Charles d’Anjou Comte de Provence by charter dated 7 Apr 1258[724].

3. OBERTO (-after 4 Oct 1234). Conte di Ventimiglia. Emmanuele Conte di Ventimiglia was present when “son frère Obert ou Aubert comte de Vintimille” sold “la moitié de la jurisdiction des terres de Châteauneuf...” by charter dated 2 Jul 1217[729]. “Obertus comes Vintimilii et dominus Baaluchi filius quondam domini Guillelmi comitis de Vintimilio” sold one third of “castri...Carpaxii” to Genoa by charter dated 4 Oct 1234[730]. m (before 28 Jul 1217) GUILLEMETTE de Marseille, daughter of [RAYMOND GEOFFROY [II] Vicomte de Marseille & his wife Ixmille Marquise]. Robert records that a document dated 28 Jul 1217 acknowledges payment of part of the dowry for the marriage of “Guillemette fille de Raymond Gaufridi Vicomte de Marseille” and “Obert Comte de Vintimille”[731]. Assuming that this information is accurate, the chronology appears to suggest that Guillemette was the daughter of Raymond Geoffroy [II]. Oberto & his wife had two children:

a) BONIFAZIO di Ventimiglia (-after 4 Mar 1261). Conte di Ventimiglia. “Bonifacius comes Baaluchi filius quondam Oberti comitis” sold “castrum Triole, castrum de Deo, medietatem castrorum Alme et Buzane” to “Ianelle Advocate cognato meo” by charter dated 21 Feb 1260[732]. Bonifazio’s precise relationship with the Advocato family has not been ascertained. “Iacobinus Advocatus et Ianella fratres filii emancipati Petri Advocati...et...procurator...Bonifacii comitis Vintimilii filii quondam Oberti comitis Vintimilii” sold “castrum...Triorie...cum medietatem loci Dodi...Alme...Buzane” to the commune of Genoa by charter dated 4 Mar 1261[733].

The confirmation suggests that the properties were inherited by Verena. Her precise family relationship with the two named advisers has not been ascertained. m PAGANO Marchese di Ceva, son of --- (-after 16 Dec 1259).

GUGLIELMO [II] di Ventimiglia, son of GUGLIELMO [I] Conte di Ventimiglia & his wife --- (-after 21 Feb 1218). Conte di Ventimiglia. Emmanuele Conte di Ventimiglia “avec Guillaume comte de Vintimille son frère” ratified an arbitration between the inhabitants of Sospel and “Aycard Tolsana” by charter dated 21 Feb 1217 (O.S.?)[735]. The Annals of Ogerio Panis record that "Conrado et Opitione marchionibus Malaspine, Ottone atque Enrico marchionibus de Carretto, Bonifatio marchione Crauexane, filio Wilielmi marchionis de Ceua" attacked Ventimiglia in 1219[736]. The Annals of Marchisio records that "comes…Willielmus Victimiliensis" attacked Genoa in 1221, ignoring the agreement made between "Manuelem fratrem suum" and the Genoese[737].

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

Guglielmo [II] & his wife had three children:

1. GUGLIELMO [III] (-after 7 May 1259). Conte di Ventimiglia. Guglielmo Conte di Ventimiglia “tant à son nom que de ses frères” signed a peace treaty with Charles d’Anjou Comte de Provence [Anjou-Capet] to whom he transferred rights in property “qui avoient appartenu à Guillaume de Vintimille son père”, including “les châteaux et seigneuries de Saint Chenet, de Galps, de Tende, de la Brigue...et ce qu’il avoit à Roquebrune, Monaco...enfin généralement toute la comté de Vintimille”, in exchange for other properties in Provence, by charter dated 1257[738]. Saige, presumably citing the same document, notes that “Guillaume fils de Guillaume comte de Vintimille” transferred his rights in the county of Ventimiglia by charter dated 19 Jan 1258, in terms similar to the 7 Apr 1258 charter quoted above under his first cousin Bonifazio[739]. The testament of Guglielmo Conte di Ventimiglia, dated 1259, names his “six enfants...Guillaume III, Raymond, Rostan, Othon, Sibile et Berengere”[740]. Europäische Stammtafeln dates this document to “Grasse 7 May 1259”[741]. m ---. The name of Guglielmo’s wife is not known. Guglielmo [III] & his wife had six children:

a) GUILLAUME (-after 1301). The testament of Guglielmo Conte di Ventimiglia, dated 1259, names his “six enfants...Guillaume III, Raymond, Rostan, Othon, Sibile et Berengere”[742]. A charter dated 18 Dec 1285 records the renewal of an agreement between “dominum Philippum de Laveria militem dominum senescalliæ Provinciæ et Forcalquerii, nomine hæredum quondam domini Karoli regis Siciliæ” and “dominum Petrum Balbum comitem Vintimilii nomine suo et nomine domini Guilelmi nepotis sui, don Iohannis et don Jayme et Ottonis nepotum ipsius et Belengariæ sororis ipsius domini Guilelmi”[743]. Conte Pietro Balbo “tant en son nom propre que de Guillaume-Pierre son autre frere et de Guillaume son neveu” made a treaty with Charles I King of Sicily, Comte de Provence, settling disputes, dated 17 Mar 1278[744]. A charter dated 21 Jan 1286 records longstanding disputes between “dominum Karolum olim...Siciliæ regem” and “quondam G. P. et eius filios...Iohannem et Iacobum, Petrum Balbum et Guglielmum eius fratres, filios quondam G. fratris dictorum domini Guilelmi Petri, et domini P. Balbis comitis Vintimilii” and renewed the peace agreement[745]. Guglielmo was named in a document dated 1301[746].

b) RAYMOND (-before 21 Jan 1286). The testament of Guglielmo Conte di Ventimiglia, dated 1259, names his “six enfants...Guillaume III, Raymond, Rostan, Othon, Sibile et Berengere”[747].

c) ROSTAIN (-before 21 Jan 1286). The testament of Guglielmo Conte di Ventimiglia, dated 1259, names his “six enfants...Guillaume III, Raymond, Rostan, Othon, Sibile et Berengere”[748].

d) OTHON (-before 21 Jan 1286). The testament of Guglielmo Conte di Ventimiglia, dated 1259, names his “six enfants...Guillaume III, Raymond, Rostan, Othon, Sibile et Berengere”[749].

e) SIBYLLE . The testament of Guglielmo Conte di Ventimiglia, dated 1259, names his “six enfants...Guillaume III, Raymond, Rostan, Othon, Sibile et Berengere”[750].

f) BERENGERE (-after 18 Dec 1285). The testament of Guglielmo Conte di Ventimiglia, dated 1259, names his “six enfants...Guillaume III, Raymond, Rostan, Othon, Sibile et Berengere”[751]. A charter dated 18 Dec 1285 records the renewal of an agreement between “dominum Philippum de Laveria militem dominum senescalliæ Provinciæ et Forcalquerii, nomine hæredum quondam domini Karoli regis Siciliæ” and “dominum Petrum Balbum comitem Vintimilii nomine suo et nomine domini Guilelmi nepotis sui, don Iohannis et don Jayme et Ottonis nepotum ipsius et Belengariæ sororis ipsius domini Guilelmi”[752].

g) PIERRE Balbe (after 1259-after 21 Jan 1286). Pierre must have been born after 1259 as he is not named in his father’s testament of that date. Conte Pietro Balbo “tant à son nom que de Guillaume et Pierre Balb ses neveux enfans d’autre Guillaume son frere et aussi au nom de ses autres neveux Jean et Jacques et autres enfans de Guillaume-Pierre” made another treaty with the Comte de Provence dated 21 Jan 1285 (O.S.?)[753]. A charter dated 21 Jan 1286 records longstanding disputes between “dominum Karolum olim...Siciliæ regem” and “quondam G. P. et eius filios...Iohannem et Iacobum, Petrum Balbum et Guglielmum eius fratres, filios quondam G. fratris dictorum domini Guilelmi Petri, et domini P. Balbis comitis Vintimilii” and renewed the peace agreement[754].

2. PIETRO Balbo (-after 21 Jan 1286). Conte di Ventimiglia. Conte Pietro Balbo “tant en son nom propre que de Guillaume-Pierre son autre frere et de Guillaume son neveu” made a treaty with Charles I King of Sicily, Comte de Provence, settling disputes, dated 17 Mar 1278[755]. A charter dated 18 Dec 1285 records the renewal of an agreement between “dominum Philippum de Laveria militem dominum senescalliæ Provinciæ et Forcalquerii, nomine hæredum quondam domini Karoli regis Siciliæ” and “dominum Petrum Balbum comitem Vintimilii nomine suo et nomine domini Guilelmi nepotis sui, don Iohannis et don Jayme et Ottonis nepotum ipsius et Belengariæ sororis ipsius domini Guilelmi”[756]. A charter dated 21 Jan 1286 records longstanding disputes between “dominum Karolum olim...Siciliæ regem” and “quondam G. P. et eius filios...Iohannem et Iacobum, Petrum Balbum et Guglielmum eius fratres, filios quondam G. fratris dictorum domini Guilelmi Petri, et domini P. Balbis comitis Vintimilii” and renewed the peace agreement[757].

3. GUILLAUME PIERRE [I] de Ventimiglia [Vintimille] (-before 15 Apr 1282). Conte Pietro Balbo “tant en son nom propre que de Guillaume-Pierre son autre frere et de Guillaume son neveu” made a treaty with Charles I King of Sicily, Comte de Provence, settling disputes, dated 17 Mar 1278[758]. Seigneur de Tende. He was banished by Charles I King of Sicily in 1276[759]. “Conte di Ventimiglia Guglielmo Pietro” renewed the rights of “gli abitanti de Tenda e della Bruga” by charter dated 1282[760]. His absence from the marriage contract of his daughter Beatrix, in which his wife is named (see below), presumably indicates that Guillaume Pierre was deceased at the time. m ([1261/62]) EVDOKIA Laskarina, daughter of THEODOROS II Emperor in Nikaia & his wife Elena Asanina of Bulgaria ([1254]-after 21 Apr 1304). Georgius Akropolites names "Ioannem…Theodoram et Eudociam" as the three remaining unmarried children of Emperor Theodoros II[761]. Ephræmius names "parvulum Ioannem…duasque virgunculas, Eudociam…ac Theodoram" as the three children still remaining at home when "Theodorus" died[762]. Pachymeres records that "pueri Ioannis sorores germanas…alteram" married "Latino…magistani…Vintimilia ex urbe Genua"[763]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Evdokia married secondly Arnau Roger [I] Conde de Pallars[764]. This is proved incorrect by the various Spanish charters quoted below in which Evdokia is consistently named “infantissa” (honouring the fact that she was the ruler’s daughter, in line with Spanish practice), in contrast to her daughter [Lascara] de Vintimille who was recorded in other charters (see below) as widow of Conde Arnau Roger but never with this honorific to which she was not entitled as the ruler’s granddaughter. Secondary sources available on the web indicate that Baucells i Reig reached the same conclusion[765], but as his article has not been consulted it has not proved possible to ascertain whether he used the same argument. It should be noted that Miret y Sans, in his article on Evdokia in the early 20th century, failed to notice the distinction of the titles accorded to mother and daughter and assumed that the conde de Pallars was Evdokia’s second husband[766]. Pedro III King of Aragon acknowledged the marriage contract between “Raimundo de Montechateno domino de Fraga...Guillelmo de Montecateno filio vestro” and “domina Azchara infantissa de Grecia...dompne Beatricis filie sue” by charter dated 15 Apr 1282[767]. “Domina infantissa Lascherea filia quondam...Lascheri imperatoris Grecorum” transferred the pension granted by the king to “Simoni de Vico campsori Barchinone” by charter dated 27 Jul 1288[768]. Alfonso III King of Aragon granted “ad habitagium vestrum Regale nostrum Xatiue” to “dompne Alaschere infantisse grecorum” by charter dated 28 Jul [1286/90][769]. Jaime II King of Aragon, at the request of “dompne Alaschare infantisse Grecorum”, ordered Guillem de Montcada to respect her rights to “los lugares de Zaidín y Vallobar por ser heredera de su difunta hija Beatriz” by charter dated 21 Apr 1304[770].

A charter dated 18 Dec 1285 records the renewal of an agreement between “dominum Philippum de Laveria militem dominum senescalliæ Provinciæ et Forcalquerii, nomine hæredum quondam domini Karoli regis Siciliæ” and “dominum Petrum Balbum comitem Vintimilii nomine suo et nomine domini Guilelmi nepotis sui, don Iohannis et don Jayme et Ottonis nepotum ipsius et Belengariæ sororis ipsius domini Guilelmi”[771]. Co-seigneur de Tende et de la Brigue.

- see below.

b) JACQUES de Vintimille (-after 21 Jan 1286). A charter dated 18 Dec 1285 records the renewal of an agreement between “dominum Philippum de Laveria militem dominum senescalliæ Provinciæ et Forcalquerii, nomine hæredum quondam domini Karoli regis Siciliæ” and “dominum Petrum Balbum comitem Vintimilii nomine suo et nomine domini Guilelmi nepotis sui, don Iohannis et don Jayme et Ottonis nepotum ipsius et Belengariæ sororis ipsius domini Guilelmi”[772]. A charter dated 21 Jan 1286 records longstanding disputes between “dominum Karolum olim...Siciliæ regem” and “quondam G. P. et eius filios...Iohannem et Iacobum, Petrum Balbum et Guglielmum eius fratres, filios quondam G. fratris dictorum domini Guilelmi Petri, et domini P. Balbis comitis Vintimilii” and renewed the peace agreement[773]. Co-seigneur de Tende et de la Brigue.

c) OTHON de Vintimille (-1320). A charter dated 18 Dec 1285 records the renewal of an agreement between “dominum Philippum de Laveria militem dominum senescalliæ Provinciæ et Forcalquerii, nomine hæredum quondam domini Karoli regis Siciliæ” and “dominum Petrum Balbum comitem Vintimilii nomine suo et nomine domini Guilelmi nepotis sui, don Iohannis et don Jayme et Ottonis nepotum ipsius et Belengariæ sororis ipsius domini Guilelmi”[774]. Gioffredo records that “Ottone Lascaris figlio secundogenito del conte Guglielmo Pietro e dell’infante Lascara...canonico” was appointed bishop of Ventimiglia in 1304, died in 1320, and left “due nipoti ambidue signori de Gorbio...Ottolino e Manueli fratelli”[775]. The two last-named have not otherwise been identified.

d) [LASCARA] de Vintimille (-after 23 Dec 1309). The primary source which confirms expressly that the wife of Arnau Roger [I] Conde de Pallars was the daughter of Guillaume Pierre de Vintimille and his wife has not been identified. However, her name in the charters quoted below indicates that she must have been the daughter of Evdokia Laskarina. It is unlikely that “Lascara” was this daughter’s baptismal name. It was presumably accorded to her in contemporary documentation in honour of her illustrious maternal ancestry, the same as her mother. No document has been found which specifies any other name. “Berenguer de Calders” acknowledged holding property from “domine Laschere...comitisse Pallariensis...nomine vestri sponsalicii et R. de Urgio tutori testamentarii Sibilie, Beatricis et Violant filiarum et heredum...dicte domine comitisse et domino Arnaldo Rogerii...comiti Pallariense quondam et Guillelmo de Castroveteri manumissori testamenti dicti domini comitis” by charter dated 11 Mar 1288 (O.S.)[776]. “Domina Laschera...comitissa Pallariensis” renounced claims against Santa Maria de Serrateix, naming “Sibiliam de Berga filiam nostram”, by charter dated 24 Apr 1290, confirmed by charter dated 17 and 18 May 1295[777]. Jaime II King of Aragon obliged “dona Liscara comtessa de Paillars” to enter “el monestir de Jonqueres a Barçelona”, because of her relationship with “al noble en Bernat de Sarriá almirayl e conseyler vostre”, by charter dated 5 Jul [maybe dated to 1307/08][778]. King Jaime II confirmed “la casa de Palau Salatá del Vallés” to “dompne Laschare olim comitisse Pallariensis” by charter dated 23 Dec 1309[779]. m ([1281/82]) as his second wife, ARNAU ROGER [I] Conde de Pallars, son of ROGER [II] Conde de Pallars Vicomte de Couserans & his second wife Sibila de Berga (-[1 Oct 1288/[Feb] 1289]).

e) BEATRIX de Vintimille (-before Apr 1304). Pedro III King of Aragon acknowledged the marriage contract between “Raimundo de Montechateno domino de Fraga...Guillelmo de Montecateno filio vestro” and “domina Azchara infantissa de Grecia...dompne Beatricis filie sue” by charter dated 15 Apr 1282[780]. Jaime II King of Aragon, at the request of “dompne Alaschare infantisse Grecorum”, ordered Guillem de Montcada to respect her rights to “los lugares de Zaidín y Vallobar por ser heredera de su difunta hija Beatriz” by charter dated 21 Apr 1304[781]. The fact that her mother was her heir suggests that Beatrix died childless. m (contract 15 Apr 1282) GUILLEM de Montcada, son of RAMON de Montcada Señor de Fraga & his wife Leonor de Urgell (-after 1304).

f) VATACIA de Vintimille . Père Anselme records that Guillaume Pierre [I] had “trois filles que leur mère maria en Espagne”[782]. Gioffredo names the third daughter “donna Vatacia”, noting that she was “lungo tempo in Portogallo colla Regina donna Isabella” and that Zurita said that he could not find the name of her husband[783].

B. VENTIMIGLIA FAMILY in PROVENCE, LIGURIA, and the KINGDOM of SICILY

[Three or more brothers]. The primary source which confirms their parentage has not been identified. Cais de Pierlas says that Filippo [I] was the son of "Enrico signore del Maro...” (see above, son of Ottone [II] Conte di Ventimiglia) but cites no source which confirms this parentage[784]. The primary source which confirms this affiliation has not been identified, although the succession of the family shown below to Maro suggests that it is probably correct. The properties held by this branch of the Ventimiglia family include Maro (Maro Castello, located about 15 kilometres north of Imperia, in the present-day Italian region of Liguria, province Imperia, commune Borgomaro), Oneglia (the north-eastern outskirts of Imperia), and Petralata/Prelà (about 10 kilometres north-west of Imperia). The properties in the kingdom of Sicily included Iscla/Ischia (an island off the coast of Pozzuoli near Naples, in the Campania region), Gerace (about 5 kilometres north of Locri, province Reggio Calabria), Golisano/Collesano (about 70 kilometres east of Palermo in Sicily).

1. FILIPPO [I] di Ventimglia (-after 21 Nov 1261).

Consignore delle valli del Maro e Prelà: “comitem Philippum et Raimundum eius nepotem” swore allegiance to the commune of Genoa for “castri Macri, Cunii, Autrigi, Petrælate superioris, Lexinaschi, Cexene et Calavonecæ” by charter dated 9 Jun 1251[787].

Gioffredo records that “Conte Filippo” acknowledged a loan from “conte Enrico di Ventimiglia Conte d’Isola Maggiore suo figlio”, hyothecated against “il luogo del Conio nella detta valle d’Oneglia”, by charter dated 21 Nov 1261[788]. m AUDISIA di Mondovì, daughter of TRINCHIERO Signore di Mondovì & his wife --- (-after 31 Mar 1250). “Filippo de’Conti di Ventimiglia e...Audisia figlia di Trinchiero già signore d’esso luogo sua moglie” sold property to “il commune del Mondovì” by charter dated 31 Mar 1250[789].

Enrico’s relationship with the Hohenstaufen family has not been traced. “Conte Enrico Conte d’Isola Maggiore” acknowledged receiving “castello e castellania del Maro situato in Marchia Albinganæ, in contrata vallis Uneliæ” from “Oddone ed Uberto fratelli degli...Conti di Ventimiglia” by charter dated 24 Jan 1261 (O.S.?)[792].

He is named in the 2 Mar 1307 charter cited below. The chronology suggests that this Enrico was different from Enrico named above in Oct 1260. He is named as deceased on 21 May 1311 by Gioffredo (see below). m [firstly] ISABELLA di Gerace, daughter of ARDOINO Signore di Gerace & his wife ---. Gioffredo records that Enrico married “Isabella figlia ed erede di Ardoino conte di Gerace ecc. morto senza successione mascolina”[795]. [m secondly ---. The obvious age difference between Enrico’s oldest son and his two sons Guglielmo and Nicolò suggests that they were born from different marriages.] Enrico & his [first] wife had two children:

i) [--- di Ventimiglia (-before 1311). His parentage is indicated by the Gioffredo’s 21 May 1311 report cited below. Maybe he was the same person as Ardoino who is named below. m ---. The name of his wife is not known. One child:

Given the age of her father, Isabel must have been a child at the time, suggesting that the “marriage” was in fact a betrothal.

Castellaro is located about 10 kilometres north-east of San Remo, in the present-day Italian province of Imperia, region of Liguria.

1. ENRICO di Ventimiglia (-after 10 Mar 1395). Signore del Castellaro. The testament of “Conti di Ventimiglia...Enrico Signore del Castellare”, dated 10 Mar 1395, bequeathed property to “Ambrosio canonico della cattedrale di Nizza, Giovanni monaco di Lerino e Filippa moglie del fu Giacomo Cays di Nizza, suoi figli”, and named “Guidone suo primogenito” as his universal heir[873]. m --- (-[before 10 Mar 1395]). The name of Enrico’s wife is not known. Her absence from the report of her husband’s testament, cited below, suggests that she predeceased him. Enrico & his wife had four children:

a) GUIDO di Ventimiglia (-after 1400). The testament of “Conti di Ventimiglia...Enrico Signore del Castellare”, dated 10 Mar 1395, named “Guidone suo primogenito” as his universal heir[874]. Signore del Castellaro. “...Guidone di Ventimiglia Signore del Castellare...” participated in the 1400 expedition to recapture the monastery of S. Onorato from Genoese corsairs[875].

b) AMBROSIO di Ventimiglia (-24 Jul 1436). Canon at Nice cathedral. The testament of “Conti di Ventimiglia...Enrico Signore del Castellare”, dated 10 Mar 1395, bequeathed property to “Ambrosio canonico della cattedrale di Nizza, Giovanni monaco di Lerino e Filippa moglie del fu Giacomo Cays di Nizza, suoi figli”[876].

The testament of “Conti di Ventimiglia...Enrico Signore del Castellare”, dated 10 Mar 1395, bequeathed property to “Ambrosio canonico della cattedrale di Nizza, Giovanni monaco di Lerino e Filippa moglie del fu Giacomo Cays di Nizza, suoi figli”[879]. m JACQUES Cays, of Nice, son of --- (-before 10 Mar 1395).

1. GUGLIELMO di Ventimiglia (-after 28 Jul 1427). Signore di Maro. Gioffredo records the testament of “Guglielmo, anch’esso dei Conti di Ventimiglia, signore del Maro, di Carpasio e Petralata”, dated 28 Jul 1427, which named as his heir “Francesco suo nipote figlio di Antonio degli stessi Conti, abitante nell’isola di Sicilia” [see above][880].

1.

C. COMTES de TENDE

Tende, adjacent to La Brigue, is located about 30 kilometres north of Menton, on the present-day border with Italy in the French département of Alpes-Maritimes, arrondissement Nice, canton Tende. It is uncertain when the members of the family shown below started using the title “Comte de Tende”: the few primary sources identified which name the first generations do not refer to them as “Comte de Tende”. The reconstruction of the Lascaris Tende family is difficult. Père Anselme’s section on the family contains numerous details which are proved incorrect by the primary sources cited below[883]. A major chronological difficulty arises in the reconstruction if, as suggested by Père Anselme, Antoine Lascaris (died probably after [1430/40]) was the same person as Guillaume Pierre [III] Lascaris’s son named Antoine (born before [1335/40]?). As noted suggested below, this difficulty would be resolved if the later Antoine was the son of Guillaume Pierre [IV], third son of Guillaume Pierre [III].

JEAN [I] Lascaris de Vintimille, son of GUILLAUME PIERRE de Vintimille & his wife Evdokia Laskarina (-after 1285). A charter dated 1271 names “dominus Iohannes Lascaris comes Vintimilii”[884]. A charter dated 18 Dec 1285 records the renewal of an agreement between “dominum Philippum de Laveria militem dominum senescalliæ Provinciæ et Forcalquerii, nomine hæredum quondam domini Karoli regis Siciliæ” and “dominum Petrum Balbum comitem Vintimilii nomine suo et nomine domini Guilelmi nepotis sui, don Iohannis et don Jayme et Ottonis nepotum ipsius et Belengariæ sororis ipsius domini Guilelmi”[885]. A charter dated 21 Jan 1286 records longstanding disputes between “dominum Karolum olim...Siciliæ regem” and “quondam G. P. et eius filios...Iohannem et Iacobum, Petrum Balbum et Guglielmum eius fratres, filios quondam G. fratris dictorum domini Guilelmi Petri, et domini P. Balbis comitis Vintimilii” and renewed the peace agreement[886]. Co-seigneur de Tende et de la Brigue.

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

Jean [I] & his wife had three children:

1. GUILLAUME PIERRE [II] Lascaris (after 29 May 1335). Père Anselme records his parentage[887]. “Guglielmus Lascari comes Vigintimiliis dominus castri Marrie, Prelate et Candiaschi ac totius Valle predictæ” rewarded “Philippus et Petrus Rubbini nobiles et...civitatis Venetiarum et de prosapia francorum et consanguineis nostris”, for services “tam in dicta civitate Venetiarum quam in civitate Mediolani”, creating “Philippum Rubbini...in valle et castribus predictis gubernatorem et generalem capitanium”, by charter dated 10 Feb 1306 (O.S.?)[888]. A charter dated 12 Mar 1322 records an agreement between Guillaume Pierre [II] and the commune of Cuneo concerning “i luoghi della Briga, Tenda, Limone e Vernante”[889]. Gioffredo records that Guillaume Pierre [II] settled a dispute involving Tende, as had been decided by “Conte Giovanni Lascaris su padre”, by charter dated 25 May 1326[890]. Guillaume Pierre [II] settled a dispute between the inhabitants of “Vernante con quelli di Robilante, luoghi della valle di Vermenaglia”, by charter dated 29 May 1335[891]. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Guillaume Pierre’s wife has not been identified. Guillaume Pierre [II] & his wife had one child:

a) JEAN [II] Lascaris (-before 7 Dec 1352). Père Anselme records his parentage[892]. He had presumably died not long before his son’s 7 Dec 1352 charter quoted below. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Jean’s wife has not been identified. Jean [II] & his wife had two children:

i) GUILLAUME PIERRE [III] Lascaris (-[8 Apr 1358/1363]). Père Anselme records his parentage[893]. “Guilielmus Petrus Lascar comes Vintimilii et generalis dominus Rochabrunæ” swore allegiance to Jeanne Queen of Sicily by charter dated 7 Dec 1352[894]. “Dominus Petrus Lascharis...comes Ventimilii” sold “castrum villam seu terram Rochebrune...in dyocessi civitatis Ventimilii” to “domini Caroli de Grimaldis militis” by charter dated 2 Jan 1355[895]. The testament of “Guglielmo Pietro Lascaris de’ Conti di Ventimiglia, Signore di Tenda, Briga, Limone,Vernante, Roccabruna”, dated 8 Apr 1358, chose burial at Tende Sainte-Marie, bequeathed property to “Giovanna moglie di Pedrino Alfonso de’ Conti di Ventimiglia, Vataccia moglie di Manuele de’ Faletti, Salvaga maritata ad Opicino, Alisenda a Giorgino Alasi de Cuneo, Violante e Leonora ancora nubili, sue figli” and named as joint universal heirs “Antonio, Giovannino, Guglielmo Pietro, Pietro Balbo e Lodovico suoi figli”[896].

Antoine’s absence from the 1368 charter of his younger brothers suggests that he died before that date. His birth is estimated on the assumption that his three younger brothers were adults when swearing allegiance under in 1368 as noted below.

(2) JEAN Lascaris (-[before 1368]). The testament of “Guglielmo Pietro Lascaris de’ Conti di Ventimiglia, Signore di Tenda, Briga, Limone,Vernante, Roccabruna”, dated 8 Apr 1358, bequeathed property to named as joint universal heirs “Antonio, Giovannino, Guglielmo Pietro, Pietro Balbo e Lodovico suoi figli”[899].

The parentage of the following two suggested siblings has not been ascertained. Père Anselme identifies Antoine Lascaris as the son of Guillaume Pierre [III] Lascaris who is named above[915]. From a chronological point of view, that identification is unlikely to be correct: as noted above, the birth of Antoine, son of Guillaume Pierre [III], is dated to “before [1335/40]?”, wheareas the birth of Honoré Lascaris, oldest son of Antoine, is dated to “before [1425/30]?”. This time span suggests a missing generation in the reconstruction. The obvious candidate to fill the gap is Guillaume Pierre [III]’s third son Guillaume Pierre [IV], who with his two younger brothers swore allegiance to Jeanne Queen of Sicily in 1368 (see above). Guillaume Pierre [IV]’s two older brothers Antoine and Jean were not named in 1368, suggesting that they had both died earlier. What if Guillaume Pierre [IV] survived for several years after that date and was father of the later Antoine (called “Antoine [II]” below)? This suggestion would also solve the chronological difficulty concerning the parentage of Beatrix Lascaris, also shown below. Père Anselme records her as the daughter of Guillaume Pierre [III][916], which is impossible given his death in [8 Apr 1358/1363]. Her precise date of birth is unknown, although the reports cited below indicate that she was much older than her second husband which could place her birth in [1370/80]. If that date is correct, she could have been the sister of Antoine [II].

1. [ANTOINE [II] Lascaris (-[after [1430/40]?]). Comte de Tende.]

- see below.

2. [BEATRIX Lascaris ([1370/80?]-beheaded Binasco 13 Sep 1418). Père Anselme records her two marriages, noting that her first husband, “l’un des grands capitaines de son siècle” in the service of the duke of Milan, died on learning of the murder of Duke Giovanni Maria Visconti 16 May 1412, and that his widow married the deceased duke’s brother[917]. The chronology indicates that Beatrix was the daughter of Antonio. Filippo Maria Visconti Duke of Milan granted "terra, castro et rocha Modoetie" {Monza} to "domina Beatrix Ducissa Mediolani, Verone…Papie Anglerieque comitissa eius consors" by charter dated 2 Jan 1414[918]. Père Anselme records that her husband, who “s’en étant dégouté par la suite, parce qu’elle étoit beaucoup plus âgée que lui”, had her beheaded 13 Sep 1418 “sur un soupçon sans fondement du crime d’adultère avec un joueur d’instruments nommé Michel Orumbel”[919]. Gioffredo records the 13 Sep 1418 death of “Beatrice Lascaris della casa di Tenda”, noting that she inherited “gran tesoro” from her first husband “Facino Cane di nazione Monferrino, di patria Casalasco...Conte di Glandate, signore d’Alessandria, di Tortona, Novara, Pavia e Como”, and was killed on the orders of her second husband (providing more details than Anselme)[920]. m firstly FACINO Cazze [Cane] Conte di Biandrate, son of --- (-[16 May/Jun] 1412). m secondly (24 Jul 1412) as his first wife, FILIPPO MARIA Visconti Duke of Milan, son of GIAN GALEAZZO "il Grande" Duke of Milan & his second wife Caterina Visconti (Milan 23 Sep 1392-Milan 13 Aug 1447).]

ANTOINE Lascaris, son of [GUILLAUME PIERRE [IV] Lascaris & his wife ---] (-after [1430/40?]). Comte de Tende. Père Anselme records Antoine as vassal of the Duke of Savoy to whom the county of Nice was ceded by Yolande Queen of Sicily [Anjou-Valois] and by Louis III King of Sicily [Anjou-Capet] 15 Oct 1419[921]. Considering the chronology of his children’s lives, it is likely that Antoine lived for many years after this date maybe until after [1430/40]. No primary sources have been found which name Antoine, although his existence is confirmed by charters involving his children.

m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Antoine’s wife has not been identified. Robert names her “Françoise de Bouliers” (no source cited)[922]. Père Anselme names her “Françoise de Bouliers, fille du marquis de Cental en Piémond, vulgairement nommée Madame Franche”[923].

Antoine & his wife had nine children:

1. MARIETTE Lascaris (-before 4 Feb 1474). The testament of Honoré Lascaris Comte de Tende, dated 4 Feb 1474, bequeathed property to “...sue sorelle figlie della fu Marietta...Catterina, Leonetta, Emeria e Margarita...”[924]. The primary source which names Mariette’s husband has not been identified. Gioffredo names “Antonio Lascaris conte di Tenda...Marietta sua figlia avuta da Margarita del Caretto dei Marchesi del Finale” as the wife of Honoré Grimaldi co-Seigneur de Menton (no source cited)[925]. This passage is confused as “Margherita di Caretto” was recorded elsewhere as the wife of Antonio’s son Honoré (see below). From a chronological point of view, it also seems unlikely that the wife of Honoré Grimaldi was the daughter of Antonio, given the chronology of his son Honoré’s life (married “before [1450/55?]”, died 1474 leaving a minor son and heir). Gioffredo’s suggestion in any case seems disproved by the 4 Feb 1474 testament as Honoré Grimaldi died childless. m ---.

2. HONORE Lascaris ([before 1425/30?]-murdered 5 Feb [1474/75], bur Tende Notre-Dame). A document dated to [1576] records “le comte Honorat de Lascaris dict le grand Honorat” as universal heir of “le comte Anthoine”[926]. Comte de Tende. Saige records that Honoré agreed a division of territories inherited from the Grimaldi family with Gaspard Grimaldi co-Seigneur d’Antibes by charter dated 1463[927].

- see below.

3. PIERRE Lascaris de Tende ). His parentage is confirmed by the 4 Feb 1474 testament of his brother Honoré which names Pierre’s son as a beneficiary as noted below. m (before 1438?) CATHERINE Grimaldi, daughter of GEORGES Grimaldi Co-Seigneur de Menton & his wife Isabella Fieschi. Saige records her parentage and marriage, noting in a later passage that René d’Anjou King of Sicily confirmed the daughters of Georges Grimaldi in their father’s inheritance by charters dated 1438 and 1439, despite his property having been transferred to his first cousins, the dispute being submitted to arbitration in 1441, the judgment dated Apr 1444 establishing the shares of each party[928]. Pierre & his wife had two children:

a) HONORE Lascaris (-after 4 Feb 1474). Saige records his parentage, noting that when he died his uncle Honoré inherited his properties[929]. This statement does not appear correct as Honoré was a beneficiary under his uncle`s testament: the testament of Honoré Lascaris Comte de Tende, dated 4 Feb 1474, bequeathed property to “...Onorato suo nipote e figlio del fu Pietro suo fratello...”[930].

b) LOUIS Lascaris (-before 4 Feb 1474). Saige records his parentage, noting that when he died his uncle Honoré inherited his properties[931]. It is assumed that Louis died before his uncle’s testament which names his brother Honoré.

4. MARC Lascaris (-[Jan 1493]). His family connection is confirmed by Pope Innocent VIII who appointed Antoine Lascaris de Tende as bishop of Riez by bull dated 4 Jun 1490, a document recording that his successor as bishop of Riez, Antoine Lascaris, was “ex fratre nepotem” of his predecessor Bishop Marc[932]. Bishop of Riez: Gallia Christiana Novissima records the appointment of “Marc Lascaris de Tende” as bishop of Riez by Pope Pius II, bull dated 18 Apr 1463[933]. A register dated [4] Jun [1490] records the resignation of “dominum Marcum” and appointment of “dni. Antonii de Tende apostolice sedis protonotarii” and a pension granted to “dno Thome Innocentio de Tende” for bringing the resignation to Rome[934]. Gallia Christiana Novissima records that, because of the young age of his successor (see below), ex-bishop Marc continued to govern the church in Antoine’s name, a register noting “Marcus Lascaris de Tenda olim episcopus Regensis, nunc...vicarius generalis...pro rev. domino Antonio de Tende, electo Regensi”, and says that “on l’a fait mourir en janvier 1493”[935]. Marc had one illegitimate child by an unknown mistress:

a) THOMAS INNOCENT Lascaris ([1465]-10 Apr 1526). His parentage is confirmed by a dispensation of Pope Julius II in favour of Thomas Lascaris “defectum natalium, ex bo. me. Marco, tunc episcopo Regensi, de nobile et comitum genere...genitus”, Gallia Christiana Novissima noting that he was 57 years old when appointed bishop[936]. A register dated [4] Jun [1490] records the resignation of “dominum Marcum” and appointment of “dni. Antonii de Tende apostolice sedis protonotarii” and a pension granted to “dno Thome Innocentio de Tende” for bringing the resignation to Rome[937]. Provost of Riez 1497[938]. Père Anselme records that Jean Antoine Lascaris and his brother Bishop Antoine appointed proxies at Rome Oct 1497 for the appointment of Thomas Innocent Lascaris as provost of Riez[939]. Gallia Christiana Novissima states that Antoine Lascaris “ne...donna pas une belle preuve de dévouement et ne montra point un grand courage”, he shut himself in “le château de Montagnac...avec le prévôt Thomas de Tende son cousin” when plague struck Riez in 1506[940]. Bishop of Riez: Thomas Lascaris was appointed bishop Pope Adrian VI by bulls dated 12 Jan 1523[941]. Bishop Thomas died 10 Apr 1526[942]. Thomas had one illegitimate child by an unknown mistress:

i) HONORE Lascaris . Archdeacon of Riez: Gallia Christiana Novissima notes in relation to Bishop Antoine and Bishop Thomas that “leurs enfants étaient connus de tous et sont nommés dans les pièces de cette époque”, specifying that Thomas appointed “son fils Honorat dans la stalle d’archidiacre qu’Antoine lui cédait en partant pour Beauvais”[943].

5. THOMAS Lascaris (-1489). The testament of Honoré Lascaris Comte de Tende, dated 4 Feb 1474, bequeathed property to “Tommaso suo fratello ammogliato...la metà del Castelnuovo, il luogo della Garda in Provenza, e ciò di che gli era ancora debitore Antonio [error for Marco?] Vescovo di Riez loro fratello...”[944]. Co-seigneur de Châteauneuf. Père Anselme records his date of death[945]. m ([before 1472]) SIMONETTA Adorno, daughter of --- (-after 4 Feb 1474). Gallia Christiana Novissima records her family origin and marriage[946]. The 4 Feb 1474 testament quoted above suggests that Thomas’s wife was still alive at the time. Thomas & his wife had four children:

a) ANTOINE Lascaris ([1472/73]-Avignon 25 Jul 1546). Gallia Christiana Novissima records that Antoine Lascaris was “fils de Thomas Lascaris de Tende et de Simonette Adorno”[947]. Bishop of Riez: a register dated [4] Jun [1490] records the resignation of “dominum Marcum” and appointment of “dni. Antonii de Tende apostolice sedis protonotarii”[948]. Pope Innocent VIII appointed Antoine Lascaris de Tende as bishop of Riez by bull dated 4 Jun 1490, a document recording that he was 17 years of age and was “ex fratre nepotem” of his predecessor Bishop Marc Lascaris[949]. Gallia Christiana Novissima records that ex-bishop Marc continued to govern the church in Antoine’s name, a register noting “Marcus Lascaris de Tenda olim episcopus Regensis, nunc...vicarius generalis...pro rev. domino Antonio de Tende, electo Regensi”[950]. Père Anselme records his parentage and details of his ecclesiastical career[951]. Gallia Christiana Novissima states that Antoine Lascaris “ne...donna pas une belle preuve de dévouement et ne montra point un grand courage”, he shut himself in “le château de Montagnac...avec le prévôt Thomas de Tende son cousin” when plague struck Riez in 1506[952]. The codicil of “René bastard de Savoye chevalier de l’ordre,comte de Villars, de Tande et de Beaufort...gouverneur de Provence...et dame Anne de Lascaris...sa femme”, dated 14 Dec 1521, named “...messire Anthoine de Tande evesque de Ries...” as executors[953]. Bishop of Beauvais: Gallia Christiana records the appointment of “ex præpositon Avenionensi, abbate Soricini et episcopo Regensi, Antonius Lascaris de Tende” as bishop of Beauvais in 1523, his resignation in Jan 1529 (O.S.), and his transfer to the bishopric of Limoges[954]. Gallia Christiana Novissima records that Antoine Lascaris, universal heir of his cousin Bishop Thomas Lascaris, was transferred from Limoges and reappointed bishop of Riez by Pope Clement VII, by bull dated 17 Apr 1532[955]. Père Anselme records his testament dated 14 Nov 1541, noting in a later passage that he appointed his brother Jean Antoine and their nephew Gaspard de Vintimille as joint universal heirs[956]. Antoine died 25 Jul Jul 1546 and was buried at Avignon[957]. Antoine had illegitimate children by unknown mistresses:

i) children . Gallia Christiana Novissima notes in relation to Bishop Antoine and Bishop Thomas that “leurs enfants étaient connus de tous et sont nommés dans les pièces de cette époque”[958].

Père Anselme records that Jean Antoine Lascaris and his brother Bishop Antoine appointed proxies at Rome Oct 1497 for the appointment of Thomas Innocent Lascaris (see above) as provost of Riez[960]. Père Anselme records that, after his wife died, he returned to ecclesiastical life and was appointed archdeacon of Riez in 1523[961]. Père Anselme records the testament of Antoine Lascaris Bishop of Riez, dated 14 Nov 1541, which appointed his brother Jean Antoine and their nephew Gaspard de Vintimille as joint universal heirs[962]. m CATHERINE de Castellane, daughter of FRANÇOIS de Castellane Baron d’Allemagne & his wife Jeanne Gaffe-de-la-Barge (-before 1523).

8. BIDINO Lascaris (-after 1458). A charter dated 1458 records an arbitrated dispute between René d’Anjou King of Sicily, Francesco Sforza Duke of Milan with “milites dominum Ludovicum de Boleriis vicecomitem Relaniæ et dominum Honoratum Laschar comitem Tendæ, assertos vassallos præfati Regis” against the Duke of Savoy, naming “Bidino di Tenda fratello di esso Conte”[970].

HONORE Lascaris, son of ANTOINE Lascaris Comte de Tende & his wife --- ([before 1425/30?]-murdered 5 Feb [1474/75], bur Tende Notre-Dame). His birth date is estimated from his estimated marriage date. A document dated to [1576] records “le comte Honorat de Lascaris dict le grand Honorat” as universal heir of “le comte Anthoine”[972]. Comte de Tende. “Tebaldo, Carlo e Luchino Lascaris de’ Conti di Ventimiglia Consignori di esso luego” issued proclamation dated 31 Oct 1447 at Briga relating to a plot to kill “Onorato Conte di Tenda”[973]. A charter dated 1458 records an arbitrated dispute between René d’Anjou King of Sicily, Francesco Sforza Duke of Milan with “milites dominum Ludovicum de Boleriis vicecomitem Relaniæ et dominum Honoratum Laschar comitem Tendæ, assertos vassallos præfati Regis” against the Duke of Savoy, naming “Bidino di Tenda fratello di esso Conte”[974]. Saige records that Honoré agreed a division of territories inherited from the Grimaldi family with Gaspard Grimaldi co-Seigneur d’Antibes by charter dated 1463[975]. A 13 Sep 1574 judgment of “la cour de parlement de Prouvence”, connected with the succession of Tende, records the testament of “feu Comte Honorat” dated 1474[976]. The testament of Honoré Lascaris Comte de Tende, dated 4 Feb 1474, requested burial at Tende Saint-Marie, provided dower for his wife “Margarita del Carretto” whom he appointed as guardian for his son, bequeathed property to “Tommaso suo fratello ammogliato...la metà del Castelnuovo, il luogo della Garda in Provenza, e ciò di che gli era ancora debitore Antonio Vescovo di Riez loro fratello...Guglielmo Pietro monaco Certosino e Priore della valle di Pesio...Onorato suo nipote e figlio del fu Pietro suo fratello...Franceschetta che fu maritata ad Agostino Adorno governatore e luogotenente per il duca di Milano in Genova, Marietta, Maddalena e Giovannetta sue figlie...sue sorelle figlie della fu Marietta...Catterina, Leonetta, Emeria e Margarita...Brigida altra sua figlia moglie di Aleramo di Mombasilio...Franchetta sua figlia moglie d’Agostino N....fra Rodolfo suo fratello Priore degli Agostiniani di S. Dalmazzo nel territorio di Tenda”, paid a debt to “Giacomo de’Grimaldi barone di Boglio su cognato marito di Catterina del Carretto sorella di sua moglie”, paid the dowry of “Maddalena sua figlia a Francesco dei Conti di Valperga”, and named “Gio. Antonio Lascaris suo figlio” as universal heir[977]. An epitaph in Tende Notre-Dame records the burial of “miles dominus Honoratus comes Ventimillii, Tende” who died 5 Feb 1474 (O.S.?) “venenatus per Petrinum Palpag--” [Pietro Palpaca/Parpaglia of the conti di Revigliasco, in Torino][978].

m (before [1450/55]?) MARGHERITA di Caretto, daughter of --- (-after 1474). The date of her marriage is suggested by her husband naming three married daughters in his 4 Feb 1474 testament. The testament of Honoré Lascaris Comte de Tende, dated 4 Feb 1474, provided dower for his wife “Margarita del Carretto” whom he appointed as guardian for his son, and paid a debt to “Giacomo de’Grimaldi barone di Boglio su cognato marito di Catterina del Carretto sorella di sua moglie”[979]. Saige records that “sa veuve Marguerite del Caretto” formally accused Savoy in the poisoning of her husband, by letter to Galeazzo Sforza Duke of Milan[980].

Honoré & his wife had [eight] children:

1. FRANÇOISE Lascaris . The testament of Honoré Lascaris Comte de Tende, dated 4 Feb 1474, bequeathed property to “...Franceschetta che fu maritata ad Agostino Adorno governatore e luogotenente per il duca di Milano in Genova...Franchetta sua figlia moglie d’Agostino N...” [it is assumed that these two clauses refer to the same person][981]. Père Anselme records her parentage, but names her husband “Odon de la Roëre”: could this have been her second husband?[982]. m AGOSTINO Adorno, son of --- (-before 4 Feb 1474).

2. MARIETTE Lascaris . The testament of Honoré Lascaris Comte de Tende, dated 4 Feb 1474, bequeathed property to “...Marietta, Maddalena e Giovannetta sue figlie...”[983].

3. MADELEINE Lascaris . The testament of Honoré Lascaris Comte de Tende, dated 4 Feb 1474, bequeathed property to “...Marietta, Maddalena e Giovannetta sue figlie...Brigida altra sua figlia moglie di Aleramo di Mombasilio...”, and paid the dowry of “Maddalena sua figlia a Francesco dei Conti di Valperga”[984]. m (before 4 Feb 1474) FRANCESCO di Valperga, son of ---.

6. JEAN ANTOINE Lascaris (-13 Aug 1509). The testament of Honoré Lascaris Comte de Tende, dated 4 Feb 1474, provided dower for his wife “Margarita del Carretto” whom he appointed as guardian for his son, and named “Gio. Antonio Lascaris suo figlio” as universal heir[987]. As the document indicates that Jean Antoine was still a minor when his father died, it is likely that he was younger than his sisters: maybe he was his parents’ youngest child. His parentage is confirmed by the testament of [his son-in-law] “dominus Raynerius batardus Sabaudie, Tende, Villarii...comes...”, dated 4 Jun 1511, which names “quondam...dominorum Honorati et Johannis Antonii de Lascharis predecessorum comitum Tende avi et patris...domine Anne”[988]. Comte de Tende. He donated property to his daughter under her 28 Jan 1501 (O.S.) marriage contract quoted below. The charter dated 16 Oct 1509, under which the vassals of Tende swore allegiance to his daughter and son-in-law, records that “quondam...dominus Joannes Antonius Lascaris ex comitibus Ventimillii comes Tendæ castrorumque Limonis et Alvernanti...” died “tertia decima mensis Augusti proxime”[989]. m ([1485/86][990]) ISABELLE d’Anglure, daughter of SALADIN d’Anglure Vicomte d’Estoges & his wife Jeanne de Neuchâtel Vicomtesse de Blaigny. Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage[991]. She is named (without her family origin) in her daughter’s 28 Jan 1502 marriage contract, quoted below. Her family origin is confirmed by the marriage contract of her grandson Claude de Savoie Comte de Tende, which names “dame Isabeau d’Angleures” as mother of Anne Lascaris[992]. Jean Antoine & his wife had one child:

a) ANNE Lascaris (Nov 1487[993]-after 10 Jul 1554). The inhabitants of Tende swore allegiance to Anne by charter dated 29 May 1498[994]. Père Anselme records her first marriage[995]. The marriage contract between “dominum Renerium bastardum de Sabaudia comitem de Vilariis dominumque Aspremontis” and “dominam Annam filiam...domini Johannis-Antonii de Lascaris comitem Vintimilii, Tende...ex...dña Ysabella eius...uxore” is dated 28 Jan 1501 (O.S.)[996]. Ctss de Tende: the vassals of Tende swore allegiance to “quondam...dominus Joannes Antonius Lascaris ex comitibus Ventimillii comes Tendæ castrorumque Limonis et Alvernanti...dominam Annam...unicam filiam” and her husband “dominum Raynerium bastard Sabaudiæ dominum Villariis...” by charter dated 16 Oct 1509[997]. The testament of “Anne de Tende comtesse dudit lieu et de Villars dame du Marre et de Villeneufve”, dated 5 Sep 1552, requested burial “dedans l’eglise parrochiale...de Tende” if she died at Tende and in the church of her closest daughter if she died in France, bequeathed property to “Renée de Tende ma niepce en ligne directe et fille aisnée de mon filz aisné Claude Comte de Tende...mes filles Magdelaine de Savoye femme de Monsieur le Connestable, Ysabeau de Savoye femme de Monsieur le Comte de Bouschasge et Marguerite de Savoye femme de Monsieur le Comte de Brienne...Honnorat de Savoye Comte de Villars mon filz...Honnorat de Tende mon nepveu en ligne directe second filz de mon filz aisné Claude Comte de Tende”, noted her donation “par le contract de mariaige de mon filz aisné Claude de Tende et de Dame Marie de Chabanes sa première espouse”, and named “Claude Comte de Tende mon fils aisné...et apres son trepas Henry de Tende son fils aisné mon nepveu en ligne directe” as universal heir[998]. Her codicil is dated 10 Jul 1554[999]. m firstly (contract 10 Feb 1498 (O.S.)[1000]) LOUIS de Clermont Seigneur de Nebousan, son of TRISTAN Guillem de Clermont Seigneur de Clermont-Lodève & his wife Catherine d’Amboise (-before Sep 1501). He succeeded his father in 1498 as Seigneur de Clermont-Lodève. m secondly (contract 28 Jan 1502) RENE bâtard de Savoie Comte de Villars, illegitimate son of PHILIPPE I Duke of Savoy & his mistress Libera Portoneria (-Padua 31 Mar 1525).

7. [GUILLAUME Lascaris . Père Anselme records his parentage, noting that he died at the Augustine convent of Tende which he had built with donations from his father and oldest brother[1001]. His absence from his supposed father’s 4 Feb 1474 testament suggests that Anselme is unlikely to be correct. The document also indicates that the testator’s son and universal heir, Jean Antoine Lascaris, was a minor at the time, which indicates that any younger brothers were presumably not old enough to found or manage a monastery before their father died. One possibility is presumably that Guillaume was illegitimate.]

1. GUILLAUME PIERRE (-after 4 Feb 1474). Cistercian monk at the priory of Val de Pesio: the testament of Honoré Lascaris Comte de Tende, dated 4 Feb 1474, bequeathed property to “...Guglielmo Pietro monaco Certosino e Priore della valle di Pesio...”[1002]. Neither his family name nor his relationship with the testator, if any, is specified in the extract of the document quoted. If this detail was also omitted from the original document, it is unlikely that Guillaume Pierre was the testator’s legitimate brother or son. Maybe he was an illegitimate relative. It should be noted that under the testament he received only “fiorini cento”, whereas the testator’s brother Thomas was bequeathed “3000 fiorini”, suggesting that Guillaume Pierre was of much lesser importance to the testator than his brother.

D. SEIGNEURS de LA BRIGUE

Few primary sources have been found which confirm the lines of descent of all the following members of the Lascaris/Ventimiglia family. Père Anselme, recording the parentage of Pierre Balbo Lascaris, third son of Guillaume Pierre [III] Lascaris Comte de Tende (see above), comments that “[il] est crû la tige des comtes de la Brigue”, and, in the case of Louis Lascaris his fourth son, that “[il] est crû tige de la branche [des Lascaris de Châteauneuf]”[1003]. The latter comment does not appear to be correct, as Cais de Pierlas, in his extensive study of the seigneurs de Châteauneuf, only notes the marriage of the sister of Pierre Lascaris de la Brigue with the part owner of Châteauneuf (see below)[1004]. Anselme shows alleged descendants of both branches, but his omission of both Louis [II] and René Lascaris, named below and whose existence is confirmed by charters from the Grimaldi family, does not inspìre confidence in his reconstruction. Until more sources emerge, the reconstruction below is inevitably sketchy.

PIERRE BALBO Lascaris, son of GUILLAUME PIERRE [III] Lascaris de Tende & his wife --- (-after 21 Apr 1411). The testament of “Guglielmo Pietro Lascaris de’ Conti di Ventimiglia, Signore di Tenda, Briga, Limone,Vernante, Roccabruna”, dated 8 Apr 1358, bequeathed property to named as joint universal heirs “Antonio, Giovannino, Guglielmo Pietro, Pietro Balbo e Lodovico suoi figli”[1005]. “Guglielmo Pietro, Pietro Balbo e Ludovico Lascaris fratelli dei conti de Ventimiglia, signori di Tenda, della Briga, Limone, Vernante” swore allegiance to Jeanne Queen of Sicily in 1368[1006]. “Pietro Balbo Lascaris fratelli de’conti di Ventimiglia signor di Tenda” ratified a peace agreement between the church of S. Albano Rocha de’Baldi and the Prince of Achaia and Marchese di Monferrato by charter dated 19 Apr 1407[1007]. “Conrado del Carretto dei Marchesi de Savona figlio del fu Manuele” ratified a 28 Nov 1401 agreement between Lodovico di Savoia Prince of Achaia and Teodoro Marchese di Monferrato, in the name of “Pietro Balbo Conte di Tenda...[su] cognato”, by charter dated 13 Dec 1401[1008]. The precise family relationship between Pietrro Balbo de Tende and Corrado di Caretto (see the document MONFERRATO, SALUZZO) has not been ascertained. A charter dated 24 Nov 1403 records the settlement of dispute between “Pietro Balbo Lascaris dei Conti di Ventimiglia signor di Tenda, Guglielmo Pietro Lascaris ed altri di lui figlia” and inhabitants of Tende[1009]. “Pietro Balbo Lascaris Conte di Ventimiglia...Eliana di Saluzzo loro Signora” [the latter not otherwise identified] settled a dispute between Vernante and Valgrana by charter dated 21 Apr 1411[1010]. Père Anselme comments that “[il] est crû la tige des comtes de la Brigue”[1011].

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

Pierre Balbo & his wife had [three or more] children:

1. GUILLAUME PIERRE Lascaris . A charter dated 24 Nov 1403 records the settlement of dispute between “Pietro Balbo Lascaris dei Conti di Ventimiglia signor di Tenda, Guglielmo Pietro Lascaris ed altri di lui figlia” and inhabitants of Tende[1012].

2. [two or more] other sons . They are referred to, but not named, in the 24 Nov 1403 charter cited above.

LOUIS [I] Lascaris, son of GUILLAUME PIERRE [III] Lascaris de Tende & his wife --- ([1340/45?]-after 15 Jul 1379). The testament of “Guglielmo Pietro Lascaris de’ Conti di Ventimiglia, Signore di Tenda, Briga, Limone,Vernante, Roccabruna”, dated 8 Apr 1358, bequeathed property to named as joint universal heirs “Antonio, Giovannino, Guglielmo Pietro, Pietro Balbo e Lodovico suoi figli”[1013]. “Guglielmo Pietro, Pietro Balbo e Ludovico Lascaris fratelli dei conti de Ventimiglia, signori di Tenda, della Briga, Limone, Vernante” swore allegiance to Jeanne Queen of Sicily in 1368[1014]. Père Anselme comments that “[il] est crû tige de la branche [des Lascaris de Châteauneuf]”[1015]. Gioffredo records that in his youth Louis entered a monastery but left ecclesiastical life to marry, suggesting that his wife was “Tiburgia de Boglio...ma non già sorella del grande Isnardo di Glandevez”, also indicating that he was a poet[1016]. Seigneur de la Brigue: “Petrus Alfoncii comes Vintimilii procurator Ludovici Lascar comitis Vintimilii domini castri de Briga” reached agreement with the inhabitants of la Brigue by charter dated 15 Jul 1379[1017]. m [TIBURGE Grimaldi, daughter of BARNABE Grimaldi de Beuil & his wife ---. Gioffredo records that “Barnaba Grimaldo...Tiburgia di lei figlia” married “Lodovico di Ventimiglia figlio di Guglielmo Pietro Lascaris dei Conti de Ventimiglia” (no source cited)[1018]. The primary source which confirms this information has not been identified. Gioffredo records that in his youth Louis entered a monastery but left ecclesiastical life to marry, suggesting that his wife was “Tiburgia de Boglio...ma non già sorella del grande Isnardo di Glandevez”[1019].]

The primary source which confirms the parentage of Louis [II] has not been identified. The birth date of his known wife, assuming that Louis was of a similar age, suggests that he was the son of either Pierre Balbo or his brother Louis [I] who are shown above. Another possibility is that Griffette Grimaldi was much younger than her husband and that Louis [II] was in fact the same person as Louis [I].

1. LOUIS [II] Lascaris (-before 8 Jun 1407). Seigneur de la Brigue. [m firstly ---. This first marriage would explain the omission of his son Jean Lascaris from the 8 Jun 1407 testament quoted below, which names Jean’s brothers.] m [secondly] GRIFFETTE Grimaldi, daughter of RANIERI [II] Grimaldi Seigneur de Monaco et de Menton & his second wife Isabella --- ([1370/80?]-before 8 Jun 1407). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the 8 Jun 1407 testament quoted below. Louis [II] & his [first wife] had one child:

a) JEAN [I] Lascaris (-after 15 Aug 1411). Co-Seigneur de la Brigue. “Giovanni, Pietro e Rainerio fratelli Lascaris dei Conti di Ventimiglia signori della Briga e consignore di Limone” swore allegiance to Amédée VIII Comte de Savoie by charter dated 22 Dec 1408[1020]. “Fra Bertone cavaliere di San Giovanni Gerosolimitano de’ Marchesi di Ceva Signore della Chiusa...e Giovanni Lascaris de’ Conti di Ventimiglia...Pietro e Rainiero suoi fratelli consignore della Briga” settled a dispute by charter dated 15 Aug 1411[1021].

Louis [II] & his [second] wife had four children:

b) PIERRE Lascaris (-[15 Aug 1411/3 Jul 1426]). Co-Seigneur de la Brigue. The testament of “dominus Raynerius de Grimaldis...dominus Mentoni necnon dominus Rochebrune”, dated 8 Jun 1407, bequeathed property to “...Petrum, Reynerium, Anthonium et Veneciam Lascaros ex comitibus Ventimilii condominos Brige eius nepotes et filios quondam domine Grifete eius filie...domino Ludovico quondam patri eorum”[1022]. Co-Seigneur de la Brigue. “Giovanni, Pietro e Rainerio fratelli Lascaris dei Conti di Ventimiglia signori della Briga e consignore di Limone” swore allegiance to Amédée VIII Comte de Savoie by charter dated 22 Dec 1408[1023]. “Fra Bertone cavaliere di San Giovanni Gerosolimitano de’ Marchesi di Ceva Signore della Chiusa...e Giovanni Lascaris de’ Conti di Ventimiglia...Pietro e Rainiero suoi fratelli consignore della Briga” settled a dispute by charter dated 15 Aug 1411[1024]. He was named as deceased in his son’s 3 Jul 1426 charter quoted below. m --- Two children:

i) LOUIS [III] Lascaris (-after 13 Jul 1426). Seigneur de la Brigue. “Ludovic Lascaris” sold one third of la Brigue, with the consent of “Philippine sa sœur et de Jean de Solario avunculus eorum”, by charter dated 13 Jul 1426[1025]. Gioffredo records (referring to the same charter) that “Lodovico Lascaris del fu Pietro consignore della Briga e di Limone...Filippa sua sorella e...Giovanni di Soliers suo cognato [transcription error highlighted by Cais de Pierlas]” sold one third of la Brigue by charter dated 3 Jul 1426[1026].

ii) PHILIPPINE Lascaris (-after 13 Jul 1426). “Ludovic Lascaris” sold one third of la Brigue, with the consent of “Philippine sa sœur et de Jean de Solario avunculus eorum”, by charter dated 13 Jul 1426[1027].

c) RAINIER Lascaris (-after 15 Aug 1411). Co-Seigneur de la Brigue. The testament of “dominus Raynerius de Grimaldis...dominus Mentoni necnon dominus Rochebrune”, dated 8 Jun 1407, bequeathed property to “...Petrum, Reynerium, Anthonium et Veneciam Lascaros ex comitibus Ventimilii condominos Brige eius nepotes et filios quondam domine Grifete eius filie...domino Ludovico quondam patri eorum”[1028]. Co-Seigneur de la Brigue. “Giovanni, Pietro e Rainerio fratelli Lascaris dei Conti di Ventimiglia signori della Briga e consignore di Limone” swore allegiance to Amédée VIII Comte de Savoie by charter dated 22 Dec 1408[1029]. “Fra Bertone cavaliere di San Giovanni Gerosolimitano de’ Marchesi di Ceva Signore della Chiusa...e Giovanni Lascaris de’ Conti di Ventimiglia...Pietro e Rainiero suoi fratelli consignore della Briga” settled a dispute by charter dated 15 Aug 1411[1030]. same person as...? RAINIER Lascaris ). This co-identity is possible if Rainier Lascaris was a similar age to his wife Madeleine Grimaldi, the chronology of whose family suggests that she was born in the late 14th/early 15th century. This suggestion is consistent with her grandson’s mention (as an adult) in May 1486. However, if Rainier was much older than his wife, he could have been a younger brother of Louis [II] Lascaris, or even the son or grandson of Pierre Balbo Lascaris (son of Guillaume Pierre [III] Lascaris) or his brother Louis [I]. Co-seigneur de la Brigue. m MADELEINE Grimaldi, daughter of LUCA Grimaldi co-Seigneur de Menton & his wife ---. Saige names “Madeleine Grimaldi d’Antibes, mariée à René Lascaris coseigneur de la Briga”[1031]. René & his wife had two children:

i) LUCIEN Lascaris . m ---. The name of Lucien’s wife is not known. Lucien & his wife had one child:

(1) CELESTIN Lascaris . Co-seigneur de la Brigue. A charter dated May 1486 records instructions from “Lambertus de Grimaldis dominus Monaci” to “Jhoanni filio meo” on leaving for France on the occasion of his marriage, naming “monsignor de Bresa tuo socero...monsignor de Grassa mio fradelo et tuo patruo...lo segnor de Antipoli mio nepote et figliolo...Celestino mio nepote...Raynaudo mio nepote...domino Luca de Grimaldo mio cosino...mio fradelo domino fratre Lodixio...”[1032]. The marriage contract between “Johannem de Grimaldis...” and “domicellam Anthoniam de Sabaudia filiam naturalem...Philippi de Sabaudia...”, naming “Nicolaus de Grimaldis dominus d’Antibol, Celestinus ex comitibus Vintimilii et Raynaldus de Vilanova dominus Vencii” as guarantors, is dated 26 Jun 1486[1033].

ii) BARTHELEMY Lascaris . Saige records that Lambert Grimaldi Seigneur de Monaco sent “Barthélemy Lascaris...fils de Madeleine Grimaldi d’Antibes, mariée à René Lascaris coseigneur de la Briga” on mission to Savoy to confirm his loyalty, to which Bonne de Savoie replied by charter dated 10 Jan 1477[1034].

d) ANTOINE Lascaris (-after 8 Jun 1407). Co-Seigneur de la Brigue. The testament of “dominus Raynerius de Grimaldis...dominus Mentoni necnon dominus Rochebrune”, dated 8 Jun 1407, bequeathed property to “...Petrum, Reynerium, Anthonium et Veneciam Lascaros ex comitibus Ventimilii condominos Brige eius nepotes et filios quondam domine Grifete eius filie...domino Ludovico quondam patri eorum”[1035].

e) VENECIA Lascaris . The testament of “dominus Raynerius de Grimaldis...dominus Mentoni necnon dominus Rochebrune”, dated 8 Jun 1407, bequeathed property to “...Petrum, Reynerium, Anthonium et Veneciam Lascaros ex comitibus Ventimilii condominos Brige eius nepotes et filios quondam domine Grifete eius filie...domino Ludovico quondam patri eorum”[1036]. Cais de Pierlas names the father of Jean Solaro and says that Jean married “la sœur de Pierre Lascaris de la Brigue” [assumed to be Venecia, although Cais de Pierlas does not name her][1037]. This is consistent with the 13 Jul 1426 charter quoted above, asssuming that “avunculus” in that document was not used in its strict sense of maternal uncle. [m JEAN de Solaro co-Seigneur de Châteauneuf [d’Ascros], daughter of ANTOINE de Solaro Châtelain de Pigna et d’Eze & his wife --- (-before 29 May 1448). Cais de Pierlas says that Jean Solaro and his [older] brother Jacques were named “seigneurs de Châteauneuf” in 1421 (no source cited)[1038].] Jean & his wife had one child:

i) BONNE de Solaro (-after 4 Apr 1465). Cais de Pierlas says that Jean Solaro married “la sœur de Pierre Lascaris de la Brigue” and that their “fille unique...Bonne” married “Antoine de Grimaldi, écuyer du duc de Savoie, fils de Jean, portant le titre de conseiller ducal”, noting that her share in Châteauneuf d’Ascros (inherited from her father) passed from Bonne to her husband[1039]. “Antoine de Grimaldi ut maritus...nobilis Bone de Solario filie et heredis nobilis Johannis quondam condomini Castrinovi” swore allegiance to the duke of Savoy for Châteauneuf “pro parte spectante et pertienente ad eandem nobilem Bonam eius uxorem”, by charter dated 29 May 1448[1040]. Louis Duke of Savoy enfeoffed “certam partem Castrinovi, Niciensis districtus et vicarie” to “scutiffer noster Antonius de Grimaldis filius...consiliarii nostri Johannis de Grimaldis, civis...Nicie...[et] Bona de Solario eius uxor” by charter dated 3 Jun 1453[1041]. Antonio swore allegiance again by charter dated 21 Sep 1453[1042]. Antoine and his wife Bonne sold part of Châteauneuf to Milan and Thomas Constantin, citizens of Nice, by charter dated 4 Apr 1465[1043]. m ANTOINE Grimaldi, son of JEAN Grimaldi of Nice & his wife --- (-after 4 Apr 1465).

Six brothers. The primary source which identifies their parents has not been identified. The chonology suggests that they could have been sons of Jean [I] Lascaris who is named above:

1. LOUIS [IV] Lascaris (-after 16 Dec 1427). “Luchino e Giovanni Lascaris dei Conti di Ventimiglia e consignori di Tenda...e a nome d’Antonio e Tommaso loro fratelli” acknowledged receipt of payment from the commune of Tende by charter dated 16 Dec 1427[1044]. m ---. The name of Louis’s wife is not known. Louis [IV] & his wife had [one possible child]:

a) [HONORE Lascaris (-after 17 Aug 1440). “Giovanni Lascari...consignore di Tenda, Limone e Vernante ed Onorato Lascari consignore degli stessi luoghi” settled a dispute “di Cuneo” by charter dated 17 Aug 1440[1045]. The linking of Honoré with Jean [II] in this charter suggests a close family relationship. The absence of Antoine, Jean [II]’s only known surviving brother, suggests that Honoré was not another brother (presumably all three brothers would have shared equally if they had been siblings). Another possibility is that Honoré acquired his interest separately, which could have been the case if he had been the son of Jean [II]’s deceased older brother Louis [IV]. Maybe Jean acquired his own an interest as guardian for Honoré, maybe a minor when his supposed father died, and continued to act jointly with Honoré after the guardianship ended. Another possibility is that Honoré was the son of Louis [III] Lascaris.]

2. JEAN [II] Lascaris (-before Oct 1444). “Luchino e Giovanni Lascaris dei Conti di Ventimiglia e consignori di Tenda...e a nome d’Antonio e Tommaso loro fratelli” acknowledged receipt of payment from the commune of Tende by charter dated 16 Dec 1427[1046]. “Antonio dei Conti di Ventimiglia Consignore del Conio”, overcome by debts, sold property, after “Giovanni ossia Giovannino suo fratello, Teodoro e Pietro figli di Domenico altro suo fratello, e Marco figlio di Guglielmo Pietro parimente suo fratello, tutti de’Conti di Ventimiglia” refused to buy, by charter dated 12 Aug 1440[1047]. “Giovanni Lascari...consignore di Tenda, Limone e Vernante ed Onorato Lascari consignore degli stessi luoghi” settled a dispute “di Cuneo” by charter dated 17 Aug 1440[1048]. He is named as deceased in the 2 Mar 1459 charter quoted below, but presumably he died before the Oct 1444 charter of his son Thibaut. m ---. The name of Jean’s wife is not known. Jean [II] & his wife had one child:

a) THIBAUT Lascaris (-before 13 Feb 1487). “Teobaldo Lascaris de’ Conti di Ventimiglia Vicario di Cuneo” issued a charter dated Oct 1444[1049]. “Tebaldo, Carlo e Luchino Lascaris de’ Conti di Ventimiglia Consignori di esso luego” issued proclamation dated 31 Oct 1447 at Briga relating to a plot to kill “Onorato Conte di Tenda”[1050]. “Tebaldo Lascaris figlio del fu Giovannino dei Conti di Ventimiglia consignore della Briga” issued a charter dated 2 Mar 1459[1051]. “Sceva Doria figlio del fu Franco de’ Consignori d’Oneglia” and “Tebaldo Lascaris figlio del fu Giovanni de’ Conti di Ventimiglia e consignore della Briga” litigated “il domino del castello di Pietrelata”, in the presence of “Marco de’ Conti di Ventimiglia consignore del Conio, Paolo Doria consignore d’Oneglia...”, in 1464[1052]. He is named as deceased in the 13 Feb 1487 testament of his son Barthélemy, but presumably died much earlier as he has not been found in charters after 1464. m ---. The name of Thibaut’s wife is not known. Thibaut & his wife had two children:

i) PIERRE Lascaris (-after 1507). The testament of “Bartolomeo Lascaris figlio del fu Teobaldo dei Signori della Briga e Pietralata”, dated 13 Feb 1487, chose burial “nella chiesa della santissima Nunciata di Porto Maurizio”, named “Petrino Lascaris suo fratello” as his universal heir[1053].

ii) BARTHELEMY Lascaris (-after 13 Feb 1487, bur Port Maurice). The testament of “Bartolomeo Lascaris figlio del fu Teobaldo dei Signori della Briga e Pietralata”, dated 13 Feb 1487, chose burial “nella chiesa della santissima Nunciata di Porto Maurizio”, named “Petrino Lascaris suo fratello” as his universal heir[1055].
