The present document shows the nobility in the south-western part of the county of Toulouse, centred on the counties of Comminges and Foix.
Chapter 1. COMTES de COMMINGES
The county of Comminges was originally part of the duchy/county of Gascony and covered the diocesis of the same name (except for the part included in the county of Aure) as well as the diocesis of Couserans[1]. Jaurgain traces their supposed descent from Aznar Sancho Duke of Gascony[2]. However, he reconstructs the line based mainly on patronymics and it appears to be unsupported by other primary source evidence. If the line of descent is correct, the counts recognised the suzerainty of Raoul King of France in 932. They were later independent until the 13th century. Bernard V Comte de Comminges swore allegiance to Louis VIII King of France in Aug 1226, but 18 Nov 1244 recognised the suzerainty of the comte de Toulouse in respect of all his possessions in Comminges and Couserans[3]. Higounet highlights[4] that the comtes de Comminges granted the title comte to younger sons, who ruled over only a small part of the county, which has complicated the reconstruction of the genealogy of the family.
A. COMTES de COMMINGES
1. AZNAR [III], son of [LOUP Aznar [Comte de Comminges] & his wife ---] (-[940]). Jaurgain states that "Loup Aznar comte de Comminges" was the father of "Aznar III" but does not cite the primary source on which this is based[5]. "Vicecomes…Asnarius" founded the monastery of Peyrissas, on returning from pilgrimage to Rome, and placed it under the protection of "comiti Comunensis", by charter dated to [915][6]. "Vicecomes…Asnarius" founded the monastery of Peyrissas, on returning from pilgrimage to Rome, and placed it under the protection of "comiti Comunensis", dated to [915] (by Jaurgain), as recorded in a charter of the abbey of Lézat dated to [1075][7]. [Comte de Comminges].
The connection between the following family group and the comtes de Comminges has not yet been established. 1. BERNARD ODON (-before [1075]). Comte [de Comminges]. A charter of the abbey of Lézat dated to [1075], which records the foundation of the monastery of Peyrissas, states that "mortuo comite Convenarum, surrexit Bernardus-Oddo filius eius" who offered "filium suum…Rogerium" as a monk, and that the latter became abbot after the death of his father, subscribed by "Rogerii abbatis et fratrum eius comitem Raimundi-Bernardi et Bernardi patris Raimundi…"[8]. m ---. The name of Bernard Odon´s wife is not known. Bernard Odon & his wife had two children: a) RAYMOND BERNARD . A charter of the abbey of Lézat dated to [1075], which records the foundation of the monastery of Peyrissas, states that "mortuo comite Convenarum, surrexit Bernardus-Oddo filius eius" who offered "filium suum…Rogerium" as a monk, and that the latter became abbot after the death of his father, subscribed by "Rogerii abbatis et fratrum eius comitem Raimundi-Bernardi et Bernardi patris Raimundi…"[9]. Comte [de Comminges]. b) ROGER . A charter of the abbey of Lézat dated to [1075], which records the foundation of the monastery of Peyrissas, states that "mortuo comite Convenarum, surrexit Bernardus-Oddo filius eius" who offered "filium suum…Rogerium" as a monk, and that the latter became abbot after the death of his father, subscribed by "Rogerii abbatis et fratrum eius comitem Raimundi-Bernardi et Bernardi patris Raimundi…"[10]. Abbot of Peyrissas.
Two brothers, whose origin is unknown. According to Jaurgain, they were sons of Aznar [III] (see above)[11]. Settipani[12] highlights that the hypothesis depends on the co-identity of "Raymundus…germani mei Ludovicus, Ademarus, Garsia, Amelius, filii Enardi filii Aneri…" (who granted property to the abbey of Auch by charter dated [998][13]) with "Raymond" son of Arnaud de Comminges. However, these supposed brothers of Raymond are not referred to in any other documents so far identified which name the sons of Arnaud de Comminges.
1. ARNAUD [I] de Comminges (-before 27 Nov 957). Comte de Comminges et de Couserans. "Arnaldus et uxore mea Arsendis" donated property to the abbey of Lézat by charter dated Apr 944, signed by "Arnaldo et uxore sua…Arsendis et filiis suis vel filias…"[14]. "Arnaldus et uxor mea Arsindis, et Rodgarius et Odo filiis nostris" donated property to the abbey of Montolieu, near Carcassonne for the souls of "…et Rodgario fratre meo" by charter dated 7 Apr 949[15]. m ([925/35]) ARSINDE, daughter of --- ([905/20]-after [959]). "Arnaldus et uxore mea Arsendis" donated property to the abbey of Lézat by charter dated Apr 944, signed by "Arnaldo et uxore sua…Arsendis et filiis suis vel filias…"[16]. Her parentage is not known. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[17], Arsinde was the daughter of Acfred Duke of Aquitaine, Comte d'Auvergne, first cousin of Acfred [II] Comte de Carcassonne. Settipani highlights that the obvious way of explaining the transmission of the county of Carcassonne to the family of the Comtes de Comminges is that she was Arsinde de Carcassonne, daughter of Acfred Comte de Carcassonne et de Razès Seigneur de Foix & his wife ---[18]. However, the chronology is not ideal. As explained below (Part B), it is likely that her son Roger [I] Comte de Carcassonne was born in the later part of the date range [930/40]. If this is correct, it is likely that Arsinde married in [925/35] which would place her own birth in the range [905/20]. Another difficulty is that there is no indication who held the county of Carcassonne between the death of Comte Acfred [II] in [933] and the time when Arsinde's son Roger was comte, the date of which is uncertain but is unlikely to precede the 950s at the earliest. In particular, no proof has yet been found that the county was inherited by Arsinde's husband, which would have been normal if his wife had been the heiress of Carcassonne. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[19], Arsinde was the daughter of Acfred Duke of Aquitaine. The primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified. It is assumed that it is also speculative based on onomastics. A third possibility is proposed by Stasser, who suggests that she was the sister of Raymond [I] Comte de Rouergue, on the grounds that it is better supported from the onomastic point of view[20]. "Arnaldus et uxor mea Arsindis, et Rodgarius et Odo filiis nostris" donated property to the abbey of Montolieu, near Carcassonne for the souls of "…et Rodgario fratre meo" by charter dated 7 Apr 949[21]. "Arsindis comitissa cum filiis suis Odo et Raimundo" are named in a charter dated 957[22], which suggests that her husband had died before that date. "Arsendes comitissa et filius meus Rodgarius comes" sold property to "Gilaberto vicario" by charter dated 29 Nov 957[23]. "Arsindis comitissa cum filiis suis Odo et Raimundo" signed a charter dated to [959] relating to their property "alode de Magrinnano et de Cugciaco…in comitatu Narbonense"[24]. Comte Arnaud & his wife had [five or more] children: a) ROGER de Comminges ([930/40]-after Apr 1011). "Arnaldus et uxor mea Arsindis, et Rodgarius et Odo filiis nostris" donated property to the abbey of Montolieu, near Carcassonne for the souls of "…et Rodgario fratre meo" by charter dated 7 Apr 949[25]. His birth date range is estimated on the assumption that he and his brother were young adolescents or older children at the date of this charter. His date of death suggests that it is more likely that he was born in the later part of this range. He succeeded as Comte de Carcassonne, de Razès, de Couserans et de Comminges, Seigneur de Foix. b) ODO de Comminges (-before Apr 1011). "Arnaldus et uxor mea Arsindis, et Rodgarius et Odo filiis nostris" donated property to the abbey of Montolieu, near Carcassonne for the souls of "…et Rodgario fratre meo" by charter dated 7 Apr 949[26]. "Arsindis comitissa cum filiis suis Odo et Raimundo" signed a charter dated to [959] relating to their property "alode de Magrinnano et de Cugciaco…in comitatu Narbonense"[27]. Comte de Razès. "Rogerius comes et conjux mea Adalaizis comitissa" donated property to Saint-Hilaire, including property which "frater meus Oddo comes habuit", for the soul of "fratris mei Oddoni comitis" and for "filio nostro Regimundo comite", by charter dated Apr 1011, signed by "…Bernardus et dominus Petrus…comites…"[28]. c) RAYMOND de Comminges (-after 989). "Arsindis comitissa cum filiis suis Odo et Raimundo" signed a charter dated to [959] relating to their property "alode de Magrinnano et de Cugciaco…in comitatu Narbonense"[29]. [969]/[998]. Comte de Comminges. The dating clause of a charter dated 18 May [980], which records the donation by "Oriolus presbyter de Sancto Martorio" of property "ecclesiam et villam…Sancti Medardi" to "Sancto Beato monasterio…in comitatu Comenico in valle Bavartense super fluvium Garona", names "regnante comite Raymundo et filio suo Bernardo, episcopo Oriolo"[30]. "Regimundus comes filius Arnaldi comitis" restored "alodem Sancti Stephani de Nidolarias in comitatu Rossilionense" to the abbot of Saint-Hilaire "in pago Carcassensi" by charter dated [989/90][31]. m ---. The name of Raymond's wife is not known. Raymond & his wife had one child: i) BERNARD (-before 998). The dating clause of a charter dated 18 May [980], which records the donation by "Oriolus presbyter de Sancto Martorio" of property "ecclesiam et villam…Sancti Medardi" to "Sancto Beato monasterio…in comitatu Comenico in valle Bavartense super fluvium Garona", names "regnante comite Raymundo et filio suo Bernardo, episcopo Oriolo"[32]. d) daughters . "Arnaldo et uxore sua…Arsendis et filiis suis vel filias" subscribed a charter dated 957[33]. 2. ROGER [I] de Comminges (-before 7 Apr 949). "Arnaldus et uxor mea Arsindis, et Rodgarius et Odo filiis nostris" donated property to the abbey of Montolieu, near Carcassonne for the souls of "…et Rodgario fratre meo" by charter dated 7 Apr 949[34]. "Adalaiz…cum Arnaldus frater Rodgarii et alius Arnaldus filius Rodgarii et Ber…" donated property to the abbey of Lagrasse for the souls of "Rodgarii et Aimilde comitissa et…alio Rodgario" by charter dated [19 Jun 936/10 Sep 954] signed by "Raimundi comitis, Adalaiz comitissa qui hoc fecit"[35]. m ---. The name of Roger's wife is not known. Roger [I] & his wife had one child: a) ARNAUD [II] de Comminges . "Adalaiz…cum Arnaldus frater Rodgarii et alius Arnaldus filius Rodgarii et Ber…" donated property to the abbey of Lagrasse for the souls of "Rodgarii et Aimilde comitissa et…alio Rodgario" by charter dated [19 Jun 936/10 Sep 954] signed by "Raimundi comitis, Adalaiz comitissa qui hoc fecit"[36].
The primary sources which confirm the relationships between the following members of this family have not been identified, although their names suggest descent from the preceding family.
1. ROGER [II] de Comminges (-after 1026). Comte de Comminges. Père Anselme notes that he was named in charters of the abbey of Lessat in 1010 and 1026 (no citation references)[37].
Two brothers: 1. ARNAUD [III] (-after [1070]). Comte de Comminges. A charter dated to [1058] records a claim by "Arnaldus comes" against "Sancti Petri Fustiniaco", in the presence of "Bernardi episcopi sive Bernardo fratre suo similiter episcopo"[38]. "Arnaldus comes" donated property to the abbey of Peyrissas by charter dated to [1070][39]. A charter dated May [1080] records that "Arnaldus comes" donated property to the abbey of Peyrissas which was later usurped by "Bernardus-Arnaldi et Raimundus-Arnaldi et antecessores illorum usque in diebus Rogerii monachi"[40]. 2. BERNARD de Comminges (-before 1060). A charter dated to [1058] records a claim by "Arnaldus comes" against "Sancti Petri Fustiniaco", in the presence of "Bernardi episcopi sive Bernardo fratre suo similiter episcopo"[41]. Bishop of Comminges.
[Two siblings:] 1. ROGER [III] (-[after 1114]). Comte de Comminges. Père Anselme records that he was living in 1114 but does not cite the primary source on which this information is based[42]. 2. [BRUNE de Comminges . The following charter identifies Brune as the sister of "Rogerius de Conveni". He has not been identified beyond doubt. Roger [III] Comte de Comminges was the most recent person of that name who has been identified. The chronology does not appear ideal for his sister to have been the great-grandmother of Navarra, whose husband’s death is dated to [1200]. A charter dated Nov 1197 records the 4o consanguinity between "B. Convenarum comes" and "uxorem, filiam Arnaldi Willelmi de Barta" which provided the grounds for their divorce: "domina Bruna et Rogerius de Convenis fuerant fratres", adding the descent from "Bruna" to "Ademarus de Pontiis" to "alia Bruna" to "Navarra" to "Comtors filia Arnaldi Willelmi de Barta"[43]. m --- Seigneur de “Pontis”, son of ---. Brune & her husband had one child: a) ADEMAR de “Pontis” . A charter dated Nov 1197 records the 4o consanguinity between "B. Convenarum comes" and "uxorem, filiam Arnaldi Willelmi de Barta" which provided the grounds for their divorce: "domina Bruna et Rogerius de Convenis fuerant fratres", adding the descent from "Bruna" to "Ademarus de Pontiis" to "alia Bruna" to "Navarra" to "Comtors filia Arnaldi Willelmi de Barta"[44]. m ---. The name of Ademar´s wife is not known. Ademar & his wife had one child: i) BRUNE de “Pontis” . A charter dated Nov 1197 records the 4o consanguinity between "B. Convenarum comes" and "uxorem, filiam Arnaldi Willelmi de Barta" which provided the grounds for their divorce: "domina Bruna et Rogerius de Convenis fuerant fratres", adding the descent from "Bruna" to "Ademarus de Pontiis" to "alia Bruna" to "Navarra" to "Comtors filia Arnaldi Willelmi de Barta"[45]. m ---. The name of Brune´s husband is not known. Brune & her husband had one child: (a) NAVARRA . A charter dated Nov 1197 records the 4o consanguinity between "B. Convenarum comes" and "uxorem, filiam Arnaldi Willelmi de Barta" which provided the grounds for their divorce: "domina Bruna et Rogerius de Convenis fuerant fratres", adding the descent from "Bruna" to "Ademarus de Pontiis" to "alia Bruna" to "Navarra" to "Comtors filia Arnaldi Willelmi de Barta"[46]. m ARNAUD GUILLAUME [I] Vicomte de la Barthe, son of ODON Vicomte de la Barthe & his wife --- (-[1200]).
Three possible siblings. Their parents have not been identified, other than the charter dated 1197 quoted below which indicates that Bernard [I] was the son of “Rogerius de Convenis”. As indicated above, that person could be identified as Roger [III] Comte de Comminges, although the chronology is not ideal. Documents relating to the Pedro II King of Aragon/Marie de Montpellier divorce indicate that Bernard [IV] Comte de Comminges was descended in the female line from the Comtes de Bourgogne: a charter dated 28 Jan 1211 (O.S.) records various testimonies, including “Dominus B. de Andusia” who swore that “comes Raimundus de Bezanzo” [presumably Renaud I Comte de Bourgogne, see the document BURGUNDY KINGDOM - COUNTS of BURGUNDY] had “duas filias” [apparently incorrect], from one of whom issued (“exivit”) “mater huius B. de Andusia et avia Bernardi de Cumenge” and that from “alia que vocabatur ducissa” [Mathilde wife of Guillaume [VII] Seigneur de Montpellier, who was daughter of Hugues II Duke of Burgundy, son of Sibylle de Bourgogne-Comté who was daughter of Guillaume I Comte de Bourgogne, son of Renaud I] issued (“exivit”) “pater Marie regine” and he believed that “Marie regina” was “uxor Bernardi de Cumenge” who had “ex ea filium et filias”[47]. Unfortunately, this does not bring us much further forward. Looking at the grandmothers of Bernard [IV], his maternal grandmother was either the unnamed mistress of Alphonse Jourdain Comte de Toulouse or his wife Faydive [d’Uzès] (depending whether Bernard [IV]’s mother was Alphonse’s illegitimate or legitimate daughter), while his paternal grandmother was Dias de Samatan (see below). No relationship has been traced between any of these individuals and the Anduze family, or any descent of the Anduze or Comminges families from either the ducal or comital families of Burgundy.
1. BERNARD [I] (-killed in battle Saint-Gaudens [after 1145]). A charter dated 1197 records the 4o consanguinity between "B. Convenarum comes" and "uxorem, filiam Arnaldi Willelmi de Barta" which provided the grounds for their divorce: "domina Bruna et Rogerius de Convenis fuerant fratres", adding the descent "Rogerio de Convenis" to "B. comes...Bernardo" to "Dodo comes" to "iste B. comes"[48]. Comte de Comminges. He was mortally wounded at the battle of Saint-Gaudens[49]. m DIAS de Samatan, daughter and heiress of GODEFROI Seigneur de Samatan et de Muret & his wife ---. Her marriage and parentage are confirmed by the marriage contract dated 26 Apr 1139 under which "Bernardus de Comenge et uxor mea Dias et filii nostri Bernardus de Comenge et Rogerius et Dodo de Samatano" granted property to "Bernardae filiae nostrae et viro tuo Rogerio de Biterri", which also names "Godafredus de Murello…pater meus Petrus Raymundi" as previous owners of "castrum de Murello" which he granted to "predictæ Dias filiæ meæ et viro suo Bernardo de Comenge"[50]. As noted in the introduction to this section, there is some possibility that Dias was related either to the ducal of comital family of Burgundy. Comte Bernard [I] & his wife had [eight] children: a) BERNARD [II] (-before 1153, bur Bonnefont). His parentage is confirmed by the marriage contract dated 26 Apr 1139 under which "Bernardus de Comenge et uxor mea Dias et filii nostri Bernardus de Comenge et Rogerius et Dodo de Samatano" granted property to "Bernardae filiae nostrae et viro tuo Rogerio de Biterri"[51]. His place of burial is confirmed by the donation by "Dozo comes Convenarum" to the abbey of Bonnefont for the soul of "fratris mei Bernardi qui in prescripto monasterio jacet…" dated 1153[52]. Comte de Comminges. b) ROGER (-1155 or before). His parentage is confirmed by the marriage contract dated 26 Apr 1139 under which "Bernardus de Comenge et uxor mea Dias et filii nostri Bernardus de Comenge et Rogerius et Dodo de Samatano" granted property to "Bernardae filiae nostrae et viro tuo Rogerio de Biterri"[53]. c) DODON de Comminges dit "de Samatan" (-after 1176).

The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. 1153/77. Bishop of Comminges.] g) BERNARDE de Comminges (-after 12 Aug 1150). Her marriage and parentage are confirmed by the marriage contract dated 28 Apr 1139 under which "Bernardus de Comenge et uxor mea Dias et filii nostri Bernardus de Comenge et Rogerius et Dodo de Samatano" granted property to "Bernardae filiae nostrae et viro tuo Rogerio de Biterri", which also names "Godafredus de Murello…pater meus Petrus Raymundi" as previous owners of "castrum de Murello" which he granted to "predictæ Dias filiæ meæ et viro suo Bernardo de Comenge"[57]. "Rogerius Biterrensis et uxor mea Bernarda vicecomitissa" issued a charter to the church of Carcassonne dated 28 Jun 1146[58]. The testament of "Rogerius de Biterri" is dated 12 Aug 1150 and names "Raimundo Trencavel fratri meo…Bernardæ vicecomitissæ uxori meæ"[59]. m (contract 28 Apr 1139) ROGER Vicomte de Béziers, son of BERNARD ATON [IV] Vicomte d'Albi, de Nîmes, de Carcassonne, de Béziers et d'Agde & his wife Cecilia de Provence (-12 Aug 1150). h) FORTANER de Comminges (-after 1163). "Dozo de Samatamo comes Convenarum qui dicebatur Bernardus…filius Bernardi comitis" and "Godefredus qui vocatur similiter Bernardus et Fortanerius fratres eius" donated property to Berdoues by charter dated 1163[60]. 2. [BERNARD ARNAUD de Comminges (-before 1105). A charter dated May [1080] records that "Arnaldus comes" donated property to the abbey of Peyrissas which was later usurped by "Bernardus-Arnaldi et Raimundus-Arnaldi et antecessores illorum usque in diebus Rogerii monachi"[61]. The primary source which confirms that Bernard Arnaud was the brother of Bernard [I] Comte de Comminges has not been identified.] 3. [RAYMOND ARNAUD de Comminges .

The primary source which confirms that Bernard Arnaud and Raymond Arnaud were brothers, and that they were both brothers of Bernard [I] Comte de Comminges, has not been identified.]
The primary sources which confirm the parentage and marriages of the following members of this family have not yet been identified, unless otherwise indicated below.
DODON "BERNARD [III]" de Comminges dit "de Samatan", son of BERNARD [I] Comte de Comminges & his wife Dias de Samatan (-after 1176). His parentage is confirmed by the marriage contract dated 26 Apr 1139 under which "Bernardus de Comenge et uxor mea Dias et filii nostri Bernardus de Comenge et Rogerius et Dodo de Samatano" granted property to "Bernardae filiae nostrae et viro tuo Rogerio de Biterri"[63]. He succeeded as Comte de Comminges, as "BERNARD [III]" in 1153. "Bernardus comes Convenarum…filius Bernardi comitis" donated property to Berdoues by charter dated 1160[64]. "Dozo de Samatamo comes Convenarum qui dicebatur Bernardus…filius Bernardi comitis" and "Godefredus qui vocatur similiter Bernardus et Fortanerius fratres eius" donated property to Berdoues by charter dated 1163[65]. m --- de Toulouse, illegitimate daughter of ALPHONSE JOURDAIN Comte de Toulouse Duc de Narbonne & his mistress ---. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by an undated charter which names [her son] "B. Convenarum comes filius sororis comitis Tolosani"[66]. This is consistent with a charter dated 1202 which names "B. lo comte de Comenge lo cal fo filh de la filha N Anfos"[67]. According to Père Anselme[68], she was the daughter of Raymond V Comte de Toulouse (which is contradicted by the last cited charter), and was named LAURENTIA, although the primary source on which this is based has not been identified. It is assumed that she must have been illegitimate. As noted in the introduction to this section above, there is some possibility that the wife of Bernard [III] was related either to the ducal of comital family of Burgundy. Comte Bernard [III] & his wife had four children: 1. BERNARD [IV] de Comminges (-22 Feb 1225). A charter dated 1197 records the 4o consanguinity between "B. Convenarum comes" and "uxorem, filiam Arnaldi Willelmi de Barta" which provided the grounds for their divorce: "domina Bruna et Rogerius de Convenis fuerant fratres", adding the descent "Rogerio de Convenis" to "B. comes...Bernardo" to "Dodo comes" to "iste B. comes"[69]. He succeeded as Comte de Comminges. - see below. 2. ROGER de Comminges (-before 3 Apr 1211). "Rogerus comes Convenarum" reached agreement with "Simone comite Leycestriensi, domino Montisfortis...Biterensi et Carcassonensi vicecomite, et domino Albiensi et Redensi" by charter dated 3 Apr 1211[70]. 3. GUY de Comminges . Seigneur de Savès {Frontignan-Savès, Haute-Garonne – part of the canton of L'Isle-en-Dodon}. m AUDE de Peguilhan {Haute-Garonne}, daughter of ---. - SEIGNEURS DE PEGUILHAN. “Bernardus Convenarum et Fortanerius Convenarum, filii quondam domini Bernardi Convenarum de Savezio” paid homage to Raymond VII Comte de Toulouse “pro nobis et Aymerico fratre nostro” by charter dated 5 Sep 1240, witnessed by “Dominus Bernardus comes Convenarum et dominus Bernardus comes Armaniaci…”[71]. 4. FORTANER de Comminges . Seigneur d'Aspet, de iure uxoris. m --- dame d'Aspet, daughter of ARNAUD-RAIMOND [II] Seigneur d'Aspet & his wife ---.
BERNARD [IV] de Comminges, son of BERNARD [III] [Dodon] Comte de Comminges & his wife --- de Toulouse (-22 Feb 1225). A charter dated 1197 records the 4o consanguinity between "B. Convenarum comes filius sororis comitis Tolosani" and "uxorem, filiam Arnaldi Willelmi de Barta" which provided the grounds for their divorce: "domina Bruna et Rogerius de Convenis fuerant fratres", adding the descent "Rogerio de Convenis" to "B. comes...Bernardo" to "Dodo comes" to "iste B. comes"[72]. A charter dated Nov 1197 names "Bernardus comes Convenarum filius sororis comitis Tolosani[73], and a charter dated 1202 names "B. lo comte de Comenge lo cal fo filh de la filha N Anfos"[74]. He succeeded in May 1176 as Comte de Comminges, under the guardianship of Guillaume d'Aure, for a few months only, as in April 1177 a document names "Bernardo comite Convenarum" without naming a guardian[75]. "Bernardus comes de Cominge, filius sororis comitis Tolosæ" and "Jordano domino de Isla, et Jordanus de Isla cum eo" agreed peace by charter dated Jan 1191[76]. "Bernardus comes Convenarum et Bigore et vicecomes de Marchan" donated property to Gimont by charter dated Aug 1192, witnessed by "Arnaldus Willelmus de la Barta…"[77]. A "Chronique en Languedocien, tirée du cartulaire de Raymond le Jeune comte de Toulouse" records the death "VII die al issit de Fevrier en Disapte" in 1225 of "lo coms de Cumenge"[78]. The Chronicle of Toulouse Saint-Saturnin records the death in 1223 of "dominus Bernardus comes Convenarum"[79]. m firstly (1180, divorced after 1192) [as her second husband,] BEATRIX [III] Comtesse de Bigorre, [widow of PIERRE [II] Vicomte de Dax,] daughter of CENTULE [III] Comte de Bigorre and his wife Matelle de Baux. Her supposed first marriage is deduced from Roger of Hoveden who names her supposed husband "Petrus vicecomes Akensis et comes Bigorniæ" when recording the capitulation of the town of Dax in 1177[80]. The only explanation for Pierre being accorded the title Comte de Bigorre is if he had married the heiress of Bigorre. However, the possibility that Roger of Hoveden was mistaken in recording this title cannot be excluded.

The testament of “Bernhardus...comes Convenarum, vicecomeque Turenæ”, dated 26 Mar 1335, named “Petrum-Raimundi de Convenis fratrem dicti domini testatoris...dominum Guidonem de Convenis fratrem eiusdem testatoris...dominum Iohannem de Convenis fratrem suum...dominum Arnoldum Rogerium eius fratrem...dominam Ceciliam de Convenis sororem eiusdem testatoris...dominam Helionordim sororem eiusdem testatoris” as successive substitute heirs in case all his daughters died “infra pupillarem etatem, vel postea absque liberis”[153]. m FRANÇOISE de Fezensac, daughter of ---. Père Anselme names “Françoise de Fezensac” as the wife of Pierre-Raymond [I] without any indication of her parentage and without citing any source on which this information is based[154]. At that time the comtes d’Armagnac were also comtes de Fezensac (see the document GASCONY) but Françoise has not been connected with their family. Pierre-Raymond [I] & his wife had three children: a) PIERRE RAYMOND [II] de Comminges (-after Oct 1375). The testament of "Petrus Raymundi…comes Convenarum", dated Oct 1375, confirmed the dowry of "dominæ Elienardi de Convenis filiæ suæ uxori domini Johannis de Bolonha" from her marriage to "Bertrando comite Insulæ eius primo marito", appointed "dominam Margaritam eius filiam…et dominæ Johannæ eius consortis", married firstly to "domino Johanne quondam comite Armaniaci et Convenarum", as his heir, with "dictam dominam Elienordim de Convenis…dominam Johannam eius consortem…domino Johanni de Armaniaco vicecomiti Fesensaguelli eius nepoti…dominum Petrum comitem Urgelli…dominum Raymundum de Torenne eius nepotem..." in successive substitution[155]. A manuscript chronicle records the death in 1375 of "D. Petrus Raymundi comes Convenarum" after making his testament[156]. m (1350) his first cousin, JEANNE de Comminges, daughter of BERNARD [VIII] Comte de Comminges & his third wife Mathe de l'Isle-Jourdain (-29 Apr 1398). The testament of “domina Matha de Insula comitissa Convenarum”, dated 1352, bequeathed property to “...dominam filiam suam Iohannam de Convenis comitissam Convenarum...filiabus Alienordi et Ceciliæ de Convenis et cæteris liberis ipsius dominæ Iohannæ comitissæ prædictæ...”[157]. Pierre Raymond [II] & his wife had three children: i) ELEONORE de Comminges ([1350/51]-after 1378). The testament of “domina Matha de Insula comitissa Convenarum”, dated 1352, bequeathed property to “...dominam filiam suam Iohannam de Convenis comitissam Convenarum...filiabus Alienordi et Ceciliæ de Convenis et cæteris liberis ipsius dominæ Iohannæ comitissæ prædictæ...”[158]. The marriage contract between “dominum Johannem de Bononia militem filium...domini Johannis...comitis Bononiæ et Alverniæ” and "dominam Helionordim de Convenis filiam...domini Petri Raymundi...comitis Convenarum" is dated 9 Aug 1373[159]. The testament of "Petrus Raymundi…comes Convenarum", dated Oct 1375, confirmed the dowry of "dominæ Elienardi de Convenis filiæ suæ uxori domini Johannis de Bolonha" from her marriage to "Bertrando comite Insulæ eius primo marito"[160]. m firstly BERTRAND [II] Comte de l´Isle-Jourdain, son of JEAN-JOURDAIN [I] Comte de l´Isle-Jourdain & his wife Jeanne d´Albret (-after 29 Jun 1369). m secondly (contract Compiègne 9 Aug 1373) JEAN [II] d´Auvergne, son of JEAN [I] Duke of Auvergne, Comte de Boulogne & his wife Jeanne de Clermont (-28 Sep 1404). He succeeded his father in 1386 as Duke of Auvergne, Comte de Boulogne. ii) CECILE de Comminges ([1351/52]-). The testament of “domina Matha de Insula comitissa Convenarum”, dated 1352, bequeathed property to “...dominam filiam suam Iohannam de Convenis comitissam Convenarum...filiabus Alienordi et Ceciliæ de Convenis et cæteris liberis ipsius dominæ Iohannæ comitissæ prædictæ...”[161]. iii) MARGUERITE de Comminges (1363-1443). The testament of "Petrus Raymundi…comes Convenarum", dated Oct 1375, appointed "dominam Margaritam eius filiam…et dominæ Johannæ eius consortis", married firstly to "domino Johanne quondam comite Armaniaci et Convenarum", as his heir[162]. A charter dated 8 Oct 1392 records the procuration from "domina Margaritta relicta…domini Joannis quondam comitis Armaniaci…Convenarum comitissa" to negotiate her marriage to "Joanne de Armaniaco filio…domini Geraldi de Armaniaco comitis Pardiaci…et…dominæ Annæ de Montelugduno eius consortis"[163]. Père Anselme records the discord between Marguerite and her second husband, who returned to his father and request help from Bernard [VII] Comte d’Armagnac, who turned against him “s’étant joint à la comtesse de Cominges”[164]. Reconcilation was attempted in Sep/Oct 1400 with a draft agreement between “Johan d’Armagnac comte de Comenge” and “Madona la comtesse de Comenge”[165], but was evidently unsuccessful. Père Anselme records that Jean [IV] Comte d’Armagnac claimed the county of Comminges after the death of Jeanne’s mother in 1443, claiming to be heir to “Jeanne sa fille qu’elle avoit eue de Jean III Comte d’Armagnac son oncle”, despite Marguerite having donated the county to Charles VII King of France[166]. m firstly JEAN [III] d´Armagnac, son of JEAN [II] Comte d´Armagnac & his wife Jeanne de Périgord ([1359]-25 Jul 1391). He succeeded his father in 1384 as Comte d´Armagnac. m secondly (contract 8 Oct 1392) JEAN de Fezenzaguet, son of GERAUD d´Armagnac Vicomte de Fezenzaguet, Comte de Pardiac & his wife Anne de Montlezun (-Brusson en Rouergue [1403]). m thirdly (Papal dispensation 5 May 1419, contract 15 Jul 1419) as his first wife, MATHIEU de Foix, son of ARCHAMBAUD de Grailly Captal de Buch & his wife Isabelle Ctss de Foix et de Bigorre (-Dec 1453). Installed as Comte de Comminges by his wife. b) ELEONORE de Comminges (-after 3 Dec 1396). Père Anselme records the contract for her first marriage dated 1 Dec 1252 (error for 1352)[167]. Père Anselme records her testament dated 3 Dec 1396, under which she named her niece Marguerite de Comminges as her heir[168]. m firstly (contract 1 Dec 1352) as his third wife, ARNAU ROGER de Mataplana Conde de Pallars, son of UGO [VI] de Mataplana Barón de Mataplana & his wife Sibila Condesa de Pallars-Subirà. m secondly GAILLARD de la Mothe, son of BERTRAND de la Mothe Seigneur de Clermont en Condomois & his wife ---. c) JEANNE de Comminges .

GUY de Comminges (-1365). Philippe VI King of France issued letters of remission to “Bernard comte de Comenges, vicomte de Tureine, Pierre Raymond et Gui de Comenges, frères dudit comte” dated Nov 1333 relating to their previous acts[170]. The testament of “Bernhardus...comes Convenarum, vicecomeque Turenæ”, dated 26 Mar 1335, named “Petrum-Raimundi de Convenis fratrem dicti domini testatoris...dominum Guidonem de Convenis fratrem eiusdem testatoris...dominum Iohannem de Convenis fratrem suum...dominum Arnoldum Rogerium eius fratrem...dominam Ceciliam de Convenis sororem eiusdem testatoris...dominam Helionordim sororem eiusdem testatoris” as successive substitute heirs in case all his daughters died “infra pupillarem etatem, vel postea absque liberis”[171]. Seigneur de Figeac. m firstly (1309) MARGUERITE Adémar, daughter of HUGUES Adhémar Seigneur de Lombers & his second wife Elise de Lautrec (-1313). Europäische Stammtafeln records her parentage and marriage[172]. Père Anselme, on the other hand, records that Guy de Comminges married “Marguerite de l’Isle-Jourdain, dame en partie de Lombières”, daughter of Jourdain [IV] de l’Isle-Jourdain by “his first wife Faydide…” (whom other sources indicate was the wife of Jourdain de l’Isle-Jourdain, by whom she had Jourdain [V], see the document GASCONY CENTRAL), adding that Guy “s’en portoit héritier pour la cinquième partie du château de Lombieres”, which was confirmed to him by judgments dated 12 Jun 1320 and 23 Jun 1328[173]. This suggested parentage is evidently incorrect considering the chronology of the Comminges and Isle-Jourdain families. In addition, Marguerite inevitably derived her rights to Lombers from the Adhémar family. It should also be noted that Jourdain [IV] de l’Isle-Jourdain married Marguerite’s paternal aunt Vacquerie and that Père Anselme records that Vacquerie’s daughters sued Guy de Comminges in 1320, presumably as widower of Marguerite and relating to the Lombers/Adémar inheritance (although Anselme does not specify that)[174]. Pithon-Curt records Marguerite’s death childless in 1313 (no source citation)[175]. m secondly (17 Jul 1323) as her second husband, INDIA de Caumont, widow of GASTON d´Armagnac Vicomte de Fézenzaguet, daughter of GUILLAUME [III] Seigneur de Caumont & his wife Miramonde de Mauléon. 4. JEAN de Comminges (-after 26 Mar 1335). A list of Bishops of Toulouse compiled by Bernard Guidonis records that "Johannes de Convenis filius quondam comitis Convenarum...episcopus Magalonensis" was named bishop of Toulouse in 1317[176]. The testament of “Bernhardus...comes Convenarum, vicecomeque Turenæ”, dated 26 Mar 1335, named “Petrum-Raimundi de Convenis fratrem dicti domini testatoris...dominum Guidonem de Convenis fratrem eiusdem testatoris...dominum Iohannem de Convenis fratrem suum...dominum Arnoldum Rogerium eius fratrem...dominam Ceciliam de Convenis sororem eiusdem testatoris...dominam Helionordim sororem eiusdem testatoris” as successive substitute heirs in case all his daughters died “infra pupillarem etatem, vel postea absque liberis”, witnessed by “dominum Iohannem de Convenis fratrem eiusdem testatoris SS. Romanæ ecclesiæ cardinalem”[177]. 5. ARNAUD ROGER de Comminges (-after 26 Mar 1335).

CECILE de Comminges (-after 23 Jun 1354). The Chronicon of Pietro Azario records that "Johannes Marchio Montis-ferrati" married firstly "sororem Domini Cardinalis de Conunzi…adhuc puellam"[179].

ELEONORE de Comminges (-after 16 May 1365). Pleadings before the Parliament dated 19 Mar 1396 record “quatre nommez Bernart qui furent comtes de Comminges” of which the first and second "qui estoient pere et fils" wished the third to succeed as count in 1296, the last named having “un fils...Bernart et une fille...Aliénor...mariée au conte de Fois”[181].

Her name and origin are confirmed by the charter dated 8 Feb 1347 which records that Philippe VI King of France abandoned rights over the lands to be ceded to "Agnes, fille…de Phelippe jadis roy et de…Jehnne de France royne de Navarre" when she married "Gaston comte de Foix…[filz de] Alliénor de Cominges contesse de Foix"[183]. The nobles of the county of Foix paid homage to “Alienors de Convenis comitissa ac vicecomitissa”, widow of “Gasto comes Fuxi ac vicecomes Bearnii ac Marciani”, by act dated 28 Dec 1345 which includes a lengthy list of named nobles[184]. m (1327) GASTON [II] "le Preux" Comte de Foix, son of GASTON [I] Comte de Foix & his wife Jeanne d'Artois (1308-Algeciras or Seville 26 Sep 1343).

The 15th century Chronicle of Esquerrier names "dona Beatriz de Bezes" as the wife of "Mossen Bernard"[202], but this source is too late to give much credibility to its account of the early comtes de Foix.

There is an anonymous reference to her in the joint donation to Cluny by "Rotgerius comes de Foys [et] uxor eius" dated 1049[207]. The edition quoted confirms that the name "Amica" (which appears in this charter as it is reproduced in the 3rd edition of the Histoire Générale de Languedoc[208]) was added by the first editor of the charter as the name of Count Roger's wife but that it does not appear in the original[209].

The marriage contract between "Ranimirus…prolis Sanctioni regis" and "Gilberga filiam comitis Bernardi-Rodegari et comitissæ matris eius…Garsinde" is dated 22 Aug 1036 and lists her dowry as "castellum…Atheres", judged spurious by the Histoire Générale de Languedoc[234]. She adopted the name ERMESENDA as Queen of Aragon[235]. This is confirmed by the charter dated Oct 1076 under which her daughter "Sancia comitissa Ranimiri regis filia et Armissende regina" donated property to the monastery of Santa Cruz de la Serós[236]. m (contract Jaca 22 Aug 1036) as his first wife, RAMIRO I King of Aragon, illegitimate son of SANCHO III King of Navarre & his mistress Sancha de Aibar (Aibar [1008]-killed in battle Graus 8 May 1063, bur Monastery of San Juan de la Peña). 6. [ETIENNETTE (-after 1066). "Garsea…rex, Sancionis regis filius…cum coniuge mea domina Stefania regina" granted two monasteries to abbot Gómez of Yábar by charter dated 1040[237]. The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. According to Marca, "les mémoires du convent de Nagara" state that she was "fille du comte de Foix", but he does not provide a direct quote or source reference[238]. The Histoire Générale de Languedoc refers to a marriage contract (again, no quote or source reference) dated 1036, but this is not reproduced by Marca[239]. This is all too vague to show Stephanie´s origin other than in square brackets in this document, until more precise information comes to light. Salazar y Acha suggests that Stephanie was a widow when she married King García, and the mother of a daughter Constanza who married her [second] husband´s illegitimate son Sancho (see below)[240]. Firstly, he says that this would explain Stephanie´s presence in Barcelona when she married, which is confirmed by the charter dated 1038 from San Juan de la Peña which names her for the first time with King García and records that he fetched her in Barcelona[241]. Secondly, it would explain the charter dated 29 Nov 1074 under which her son Sancho IV King of Navarre granted “unas casas en la ciudad de Calahorra” to “germano meo domno Sancio et uxori vestra vel germana mea domna Constanza”[242], the reference to his sister-in-law as “germana mea” being unusual if she was not also his own sister. Thirdly, it accords with the narrative in the Crónica Najerense which recounts that “infans domnus Sancius, quem rex Garsias Pampilonensium ex concubina habuerat” abducted “filiam regine Stephanie”, who was betrothed to “Santius rex”, and took her to the court of the Moorish king of Zaragoza and later to Ramiro I King of Aragon, triggering the war between Castille and Aragon in the course of which the Aragonese king was killed in 1064[243]. Salazar y Acha speculates that Stephanie´s first husband was an otherwise unidentified son of Bernardo [I] Conde de Besalú (whose possible sister was named Constanza) but this is only one of the possibilities. However, Salazar y Acha´s hypothesis, although appealing, appears unlikely to be correct because Queen Estefania does not include Constanza in her testament dated to [1066] which names all her other known children[244]. "Garsea…rex…cum mulier mea Stephania regina" confirmed the resettlement of Villanova de Pampaneto by charter dated 1 Jan 1044[245]. "Stephanie coniugis" is named in the charter of "Garsia rex, Sancii regis filius" dated 2 Dec 1052[246].

"Sancius rex" granted property to "senior Sancio Furtuniones" by charter dated 7 Dec 1057, confirmed by "…Infante domno Santio et uxor eius domna Contanza…"[247]. Salazar y Acha discusses her possible parentage, her possible betrothal and her marriage[248]. The Crónica Najerense records that “infans domnus Sancius, quem rex Garsias Pampilonensium ex concubina habuerat” abducted “filiam regine Stephanie”, who was betrothed to “Santius rex”, and took her to the court of the Moorish king of Zaragoza and later to Ramiro I King of Aragon, triggering the war between Castille and Aragon during the course of which the Aragonese king was killed in 1064[249]. Salazar y Acha hypothesises that this alleged daughter of Stephanie de Foix, wife of García V King of Navarre, was Constanza, born from an otherwise unrecorded earlier marriage with a noble at the court of Barcelona[250]. He cites the charter dated 29 Nov 1074 under which Sancho IV King of Navarre granted “unas casas en la ciudad de Calahorra” to “germano meo domno Sancio et uxori vestra vel germana mea domna Constanza”[251], suggesting that it would be unusual for King Sancho to refer to his brother´s wife as “germana” unless there was also a blood relationship between them. However, Salazar y Acha´s hypothesis, although appealing, appears unlikely to be correct because Queen Estefania does not include Constanza in her testament dated to [1066] which names all her other known children[252].

ROGER [III] de Foix, son of ROGER [II] Comte de Foix & his second wife Estefanía de Besalú (-[1147/48]). “Rogerius comes Fuxensis…et filius meus Rogerius” restored property to the abbey of Alet by charter dated 1108[253]. “Rogerius comes Fuxi et filii mei Rogerius et Bernardus et Petrus” donated property to the abbey of Lezat by charter dated 1120[254]. He succeeded his father in 1124 as Comte de Foix. “Rogerius comes Fuxensis et fratres mei Petrus-Bernardi et Raimundus Rogerii” renounced their claim to the county of Carcassonne in favour of “Bernardo-Athonis vicecomite et cum uxore eius Cæcilia vicecomitissa, filiisque eorum Rogerio et Raimundo Trencavelli atque Bernardo” by charter dated 1 Apr 1125[255]. “Rogerius Fuxi comes, filius Rogerii et Stephaniæ” issued a charter dated Dec 1129[256]. "Rogerius comes Fuxensis…[et] Essena conjux ipsius" founded the commanderie of Ville-Dieu by charter dated 27 Oct 1136[257]. [m firstly ---. No direct evidence has been found which proves this supposed first marriage of Comte Roger [III]. However, the date of the marriage of his daughter Bradimene appears inconsistent with her having been the daughter of his wife Jimena de Barcelona.] m [secondly] (before [8 Jul] 1130) JIMENA de Barcelona, daughter of RAMON BERENGUER [III] Conde de Barcelona & his [third wife Dulce Ctss de Provence] ([1117/18]-after 1136). The testament of "Raimundus Berengarii…Barchinonensis comes et marchio" dated [8 Jul] 1130 names "Raimundo Berengarii filio meo…et filie mee ipsa de Castella et illa de Fuxo"[258]. Her name is more recognisably reproduced in the charter dated Nov 1149 of her son "Roggerus-Bernardi comes Fuxensis, filius Roggerii et Xaminiæ"[259]. In most secondary sources, Jimena is shown as the daughter of her father´s first marriage and widow of Bernat [III] Conde de Besalú. However, no primary source has yet been identified which confirms that this is correct and several reasons point to it being unlikely. Firstly, if Jimena had been the widow of the last comte de Besalú, her second husband would presumably have had the right to claim the county in her name, and there appears to be no indication that he ever did this. Secondly, the testament of her father names "filie mee…illa de Fuxo" after his daughter "ipsa de Castella". This would normally indicate that the former was younger than the latter. The only possible reason for reversing the order of his daughters would have been the supposed precedence of the queen of Castile over the comtesse de Foix. However, no other example of this adjustment to the order of names in primary source documents has been found, except those justified by the supposed precedence of children holding ecclesiastical office over lay children. Thirdly, Jimena would have named her daughter after her own mother. Fourthly, the dates of marriage of Jimena´s two known children, in the 1150s, suggest that they were born in the 1130s, which is not inconsistent with Jimena having been born from her father´s third marriage. This appears to be corroborated by the charter dated 26 Oct 1136 by which “Rogerius comes Fuxensis [et] Essena coniux ipsius” founded the commanderie of Ville-Dieu which refers to "infantes nostros"[260]. The date of the marriage of Comte Roger´s daughter Bradimène is inconsistent with this hypothesis, unless she was born from an otherwise unrecorded earlier marriage, or was illegitimate, as is proposed below. The only factor which appears to indicate the co-identity of the two daughters is that Jimena could have been named after her maternal grandmother, mother of her father´s first wife. However, the name was not uncommon in Spain at the time, and it is quite possible that Jimena was named after another relative. Until further primary source data emerges which contradicts this hypothesis, it has been decided to show Jimena has her father´s daughter by his third marriage in this document. Comte Roger [III] & his [first] wife had one child: 1. BRADIMENE de Foix . “Rogerius comes Fuxensis” donated property to “filia meæ Braidimendæ et marito suo Guillelmo de Alona” by charter dated Mar 1131[261]. As noted above, the date of this marriage appears inconsistent with Bradimène having been the daughter of Roger [III]´s wife Jimena de Barcelona, especially noting the date of the marriage of his younger daughter. Another possibility is that Bradimène was Comte Roger´s illegitimate daughter. m (Mar 1131) GUILLAUME d'Aniort Seigneur de Niort {Niort-de-Sault, Aude} Vicomte de Sault, son of ---.

Comte Roger Bernard [III] & his wife had five children: a) CONSTANCE (-after 8 Sep 1332, bur Beaulieu monastery, Mirepoix). The 15th century Chronicle of Esquerrier names "Madona Constansa…molher de Mossen Johan de Levis seignor de Mirapeys" as the second of the three daughters of "Roger Bernard comte de Foix…[et] de Madona Margarida de Bearn"[326]. A fragment written by Bernard Guidonis records the presence of "domino marescallo de Mirapice cum conjuge sua domina Constancia filia quondam comitis Fuxi, cum fratribus suis, consanguineis germanis ipsius domini Johannis de Monte Forti" at the reburial of the body of the latter at Castres in 1305[327].

Comte Roger Bernard [III] had one illegitimate child by an unknown mistress: f) ARNAUD (-after 24 Mar 1350). Père Anselme names him[336]. Bishop of Pamiers 1299. 2. PIERRE de Foix (-after 1249). Père Anselme states that Pierre de Foix was named with his brother Roger Bernard [III] in a charter dated 1249 under which their father discharged the abbot of Lezat from hosting an annual dinner to the comte de Foix[337]. 3. SIBYLLE de Foix (-before 1289). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the Chronicle of Ramon Muntaner which records that "Don Amalric de Narbonne…et le seigneur infant Jacques d´Arragon" had married "deux sœurs, filles du comte de Foix", adding that the bride was aged 14[338]. The testament of Roger Comte de Foix (dated 1263 by Père Anselme[339]) bequeathed property to “Sibylle sa fille femme d’Aymeri fils d’Amalric vicomte de Narbonne...sa dot...[et] rente sur son château de Rustiques...Agnès son autre fille femme d’Esquivat comte de Bigorre...[sa] dot...Philippe sa troisième fille femme d’Arnaud d’Espagne...sa dot”[340]. A charter dated 24 Mar 1271 records the agreement between "dominum Aymericum et dominum Amalricum fratres, filios quondam domini Amalrici...vicecomitis et domini Narbone" concerning their father´s inheritance, later confirmed by "Sibylia uxor dicti domini Aymerici et domina Alcayeta uxor dicti domini Amalrici"[341]. m (before 1263) AIMERY [IV] Vicomte de Narbonne, son of AMALRIC [I] Vicomte de Narbonne & his wife Philippa d'Anduze (-[24 Sep/14 Oct] 1298). 4.

The testament of Roger Comte de Foix (dated 1263 by Père Anselme[342]) bequeathed property to “Sibylle sa fille femme d’Aymeri fils d’Amalric vicomte de Narbonne...sa dot...[et] rente sur son château de Rustiques...Agnès son autre fille femme d’Esquivat comte de Bigorre...[sa] dot...Philippe sa troisième fille femme d’Arnaud d’Espagne...sa dot”[343]. m ESCHIVAT [I] de Chabanais Comte de Bigorre, son of JOURDAIN [VIII] de Chabanais {Charente} Seigneur de Confolens {Charente} & his wife Alice de Montfort [-l'Amaury] Comtesse de Bigorre (-after 18 Aug 1283). 5. PHILIPPA (-after 1304). Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage, adding that she married “jeune l’an 1255”, without citing any source which corroborates the information[344]. The testament of Roger Comte de Foix (dated 1263 by Père Anselme[345]) bequeathed property to “Sibylle sa fille femme d’Aymeri fils d’Amalric vicomte de Narbonne...sa dot...[et] rente sur son château de Rustiques...Agnès son autre fille femme d’Esquivat comte de Bigorre...[sa] dot...Philippe sa troisième fille femme d’Arnaud d’Espagne...sa dot”[346]. Under his testament dated 1304, her husband bequeathed property to her and gave her the option of living either at Couserans or at Saint-Giron after his death[347]. m ([1255]) ARNAUD [I] de Comminges Vicomte de Couserans, son of ROGER [III] de Comminges Vicomte de Couserans & his wife Grise d'Espagne Dame d'Espagne et de Montespan {Haute-Garonne} (-after 1304). 6. ESCLARMONDE [Esclarmunda] de Foix (-after 24 Mar 1312). The testament of Roger Comte de Foix (dated 1263 by Père Anselme[348]) ordered that “Esclarmonde sa quatrième fille” be brought up at the château de Foix until the age of 15[349]. The Chronicle of Ramon Muntaner records the marriage of "l´ infant Jacques" and "la fille du comte de Foix", adding that the bride was aged 14[350]. This age, while not suprising in medieval times, seems young considering the marriage date of her parents. "Gaufridus Vicecomes de Rocabertino" signed a contract dated 1 Sep 1275, in the presence of "domini Rogerii Bernardi…Comitis Fuxensis et Vicecomitis Castriboni et dominæ Brunissendis…Comitissæ Fuxensis matris eiusdem domini Comitis, necnon et dominæ Esclarmundæ sororis dicti domini Comitis et filiæ dictæ dominæ Comitissæ", as proxy for "domini Infantis Jacobi filii…domini Regis Arag." for the latter's marriage with Esclarmonde, the document naming her father "Rogerii quondam Comitis Fuxensis"[351]. A charter dated 15 Oct 1275 notes the marriage between "domina Sclarmunda filia quondam domini Rogerii…Comitis Fuxensis et Vicecomitis Castri-boni" and "dominum infantem Jacobum…Regis Aragonum filium, heredem Majoricarum, Montispessulani, Rossilionis, Ceritaniæ et Confluentis", also naming "fratis nostri domini Rogerii Bernardi…Comitis Fuxensis et Vicecomitis Castri-boni et dominiæ Brunissendis matris nostræ Comitissæ Fuxensis et Vicecomitissæ Castri-boni"[352]. The testament of "Sclarmunda…regina Majoricæ" dated 24 Mar 1312 provides bequests to "Infanti Ferrando…nostro…filio…fratri Jacobo de Ordine Fratrum Minorum…nostro…filio…Dominum Sancium Regem Majoricæ filium nostrum…Sanciæ…Reginæ Siciliæ…filiæ nostræ…Philippo Thesaurario sancti Martini Turonensis…nostro…filio"[353]. m (contract 1 Sep 1275, 15 Oct 1275) Infante don JAIME de Aragón, son of JAIME I "el Conquistador" King of Aragon & his second wife Iolanda of Hungary (Barcelona [or Montpellier?] 1243-Palma de Mallorca 29 May 1311). He succeeded his father in 1276 as JAIME II King of Mallorca. Roger [IV] had one illegitimate child by an unknown mistress: 7. MARQUESE bâtarde de Foix . Père Anselme states that her father bequeathed property to her in his testament[354]. m PIERRE-ANDRE, son of ---.
GASTON [I] de Foix, son of ROGER BERNARD [III] Comte de Foix & his wife Marguerite de Béarn (1287-abbaye de Maubuisson, Pontoise 13 Dec 1315, bur Paris, église des Jacobins). The 15th century Chronicle of Esquerrier names "Gaston" as the son of "Roger Bernard comte de Foix"[355]. His birth date is deduced from the fact that he was under the age of puberty in 1299, and that in 1301 he could be legally emancipated, meaning that he had reached the age of 14. He succeeded his father in 1302 as Comte de Foix, under the regency of his mother. A charter dated 1302 records that Philippe IV King of France summoned "comitem Fuxi, Margaritam comitissam Fuxo eius matrem, comitissam Armaignensem relictam domini Geraldi de Armaniaco, Constanciam vicecomitissam de Marciano, et Guillermam de Bearno dominam de Moncada" as proxy for "consortis nostre regine, Guillelmo Tesson militi et Lore vicecomitisse Turenne" for a hearing relating to the county of Bigorre[356]. He was mortally wounded at the battle of Pontoise. The Flores historiarum of Bernard Guidonis records the death "in festo sanctæ Luciæ in Sabbato...apud Pontisaram" in 1315 of "Gasto comes Fuxi et dominus de Bearnio in juvenili ætate" and his burial "Parisius in ecclesia fratrum Prædicatorum"[357]. m (contract Senlis Oct 1301) JEANNE d'Artois, daughter of PHILIPPE d'Artois Seigneur de Conques & his wife Blanche de Bretagne (1289-after 24 Mar 1350). The Chronicle of Guillaume de Nangis records that the second daughter of "Philippus filius Roberti comitis Attrebatensis" married "Gasto filius Remundi Bernardi comitis Fuxinensis"[358]. Letters of Philippe IV "le Bel" King of France dated 7 April 1299 at Saint-Germain-en-Laye recall the private agreements between "Rogerius Bernardi comes Fuxi et vicecomes Bearnii" and "Philippus primogenitus…consanguinei nostri Roberti comitis Attrebatensis tempore quo vivebat" relating to the marriage between "Gasconem Fuxi primogeniti dicti comitis" and "Johannam filiam dicti Philippi"[359]. The final marriage contract is contained in letters of King Philippe IV dated Oct 1301 at Senlis which, taking into account the recent emancipation of Gaston de Foix, confirm (at the latter's request) the marriage between "Gastonem filium et fidelem nostrum Rogerium comitis Fuxensis" and "consanguineam nostram Johannam natam pie memorie Philippi primogeniti…consanguinei et fidelis nostri comitis Attrebatensis"[360]. Her son Roger Bernard [III] in his testament dated 24 Mar 1350 names his mother "egregiae dominae Johannae de Atrabato matri nostrae carissimae"[361]. Her influence on her husband caused permanent conflict with the local nobility and administration, who in 1317 issued a request to the Parliament[362] in order to discharge her from the guardianship of her children, accusing her of prodigality and dissoluteness. A charter dated 1317 prevented “dominæ Johannæ de Atrabato matri dictorum liberorum” from having the guardianship of “Gasto primogenitus masculus D. Gastonis quondam comitis Fuxi, et alii liberii ipsius domini comitis…tres filii et tres filiæ”[363]. Despite a compromise signed in 1325 in Beaugency, conflicts with her son became more frequent and in 1331 Gaston II was authorized by King Philippe VI to imprison her at the château de Foix. She was later moved in turn to Orthez and Lourdes. She was released in 1347 at the request of her son Robert de Foix, bishop of Lavaur and moved to Carbonne. Michelet[364] suggested a link between her imprisonment in 1331 and the fact that, at the same time, her brother Robert d'Artois was being sued for forgery and accused of witchcraft practices aimed at removing the king. Comte Gaston [I] & his wife had six children: 1. GASTON [II] "le Preux" de Foix (1308-Algeciras or Seville 26 Sep 1343). The 15th century Chronicle of Esquerrier names "Mossen Gaston…Mossen Roger Bernard…vescomte de Castelbo et seignor de Moncada…[et] Mossen Robert…avesque de Lavaur" as the three sons of "Mossen Gaston…[et] de Madona Johanna de Artoys"[365]. He succeeded his father in 1315 as Comte de Foix. - see below. 2. ROGER BERNARD [IV] ([1310]-Orthez {Pyrenées-Atlantiques} 1350 after 24 Mar). The 15th century Chronicle of Esquerrier names "Mossen Gaston…Mossen Roger Bernard…vescomte de Castelbo et seignor de Moncada…[et] Mossen Robert…avesque de Lavaur" as the three sons of "Mossen Gaston…[et] de Madona Johanna de Artoys"[366]. Vescomte de Castellbò. His brother Comte Gaston [II] donated "vicecomitatum Castriboni et terram Urgellesi, et baronnias de Montecathano et de Castro Veteri et etiam villas et loca de Terrua, de Comabaternie, de Valle Ferreria, nec non et loca seu illud quae habebat in villa de Podio Ceritano et in comitatu Ceritanie et Coffletis cum omnibus iuribus, dominationibus ac pertinenciis locorum et villarum predictarum et etiam in alia terra Cataloniae … exceptis et sibi retentis ante omnia dum taxat castro de Sono et terra Donazani ac valle de Andorra cum iuribus et pertinentiis suis" to Roger Bernard [III] by document dated 5 Jul 1329[367]. In his testament dated 24 Mar 1350, "nos Rogerius Bernardi de Fuxo, vicecomes CastriBoni et dominus baroniarum de MonteCathano, de CastroVeteri et de MaloVicino" names his mother "egregiae dominae Johannae de Atrabato matri nostrae carissimae", his wife "nobili Constanciae uxori nostrae", their two daughters "Margaritae filiae nostrae legitimae ... Blanchae filiae nostrae legitimae", their son "Rodgerium Bernardi filium nostrum legitimum" whom he appointed as sole legatee, the latter's wife "filia de Noualiis uxore sua", and his nephew "nepos noster Gasto comes Fuxi filius fratris nostri comitis Fuxi quondam"[368]. He also named several illegitimate children, and a list of some more to come. m CONSTANZA de Luna Señora de Segorbe/Sogorb {Alto Palancia, Castellón}, Paterna {Horte Oest, Valencia}, La Puebla [de Vallbona], El Alton Mijares {Castellón}, daughter of ARTAL de Luna & his wife Constanza Pérez de Aragón Señora de Segorbe ([1310]-before 17 Jan 1353). Her husband Roger Bernard [III] in his testament dated 24 Mar 1350 names his wife "nobili Constanciae uxori nostrae"[369]. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by Zurita who records the marriage in 1350 of “don Bernaldino hijo de don Bernardo Cabrera” and [her daughter] “doña Margarita de Fox hija del Vizconde de Castalbo...sobrina del Conde de Luna hija de doña Costança de Luna su hermana que fue hija de don Artal de Luna y de doña Costança Perez su muger hija de don Jayme Perez hijo del Rey don Pedro”[370]. She was regent of the vizcondad de Castellbò from 1350 to her death. The widowed Constanza granted the property which she had received under her marriage contract to her son by document dated 22 Sep 1351[371]. He refused the grant, but Hugo vezconde de Cardona issued a referee's decision in favour of Constanza by document dated 8 Nov 1351[372]. Her death date is ascertained from letters dated 17 Jan 1353 under which Pedro IV King of Aragon noted that "nobilem quondam Constanciam de Luna vicecomitissam CastriBoni, matrem et tutricem legitimam nobilis et dilecti nostri Rogerii Bernardi de Fuxio vicecomitis Castriboni" had died[373]. Roger Bernard [IV] & his wife had three children: a) ROGER BERNARD [V] ([1333/38]-1381). His father Roger Bernard [IV] in his testament dated 24 Mar 1350 names his wife and their son "Rodgerium Bernardi filium nostrum legitimum" whom he appointed as sole legatee[374]. His birth date range is estimated from letters dated 17 Jan 1353 under which Pedro IV King of Aragon noted that he was "minor…viginti annis et maior quattuordecim" and appointed another guardian[375]. He succeeded his father as Vescomte de Castellbò, under the regency of his mother. The fact of this regency is proved by letters of remission dated 15 Mar 1353 under which Pedro IV King of Aragon granted to "vos nobilis et dilectus domesticus noster Rogerius Bernardi de Fuxo vicecomes Castriboni" for assaulting "Constancia de Luna quondam vicecomitissa Castriboni mater et tutrix vestra" with a gang of noble youths and taking off her hands the administration of the vizcondad de Castellbò ("privastis dictam nobilem matrem et tutricem vestram ab administratione dicti vicecomitatus … et iniugendo de facto potius quam de iure officialibus et aliis hominibus dicti vicecomitatus ne dictae vicecomitissae obedirent, seu ei de aliquo responderent") through violence and intimidation ("iniuriis mortis illicitas et alias violentias contra eandem nobilem attemptatas … coacta terroribus atque minis et tamquam capta, detenta et per dictos familiares vestros inducta habuit facere donationem vos de omnibus bonis suis")[376]. Seigneur de Navailles {in Navailles-Angos, Pyrénées-Atlantiques}, de iure uxoris. The testament dated 2 Nov 1361 at Barcelona of "Rogerius Bernardi de Fuxio Dei gratia vicecomes CastriBoni dominusque de Navalles, MontisCateni et CastriVeteris" names "nobilis et praepotens vir dominus Rogerius Bernardi genitor noster felicis memoriae" and "Isabelli filiæ nostræ" appointing her his heir if he had no male descendants[377]. m (before 24 Mar 1350) GERAUDE Dame de Navailles et de Sault, daughter of GARCIE ARNAUD [IV] de Navailles Baron de Navailles et de Sault & his wife Béarnaise de Miramont (-1384, bur abbaye de Pontaut {Mant, Landes}). Her marriage contract dated to [1346/50] between "…dominus R B de Fuxo miles vicecomes Castri Boni ex una parte et nobilis domina Bearnesia de Miramonte domina de Navalhiis et de Saltu ex altera" records the proposed marriage between "Rotgerium Bernardi de Fuxo filium primogenitum dicti nobilis et Geraldam filiam comunem legitimam primogenitam ac naturalem et heredem universalem nobilis domini domini Garsie Arnaldi de Navalhiis militis quondam domini de Navalhiis et de Saltu et dicte domine Bearnesie domine de Navalhiis et de Saltu"[378]. Her father-in-law Roger Bernard [IV] in his testament dated 24 Mar 1350 names his son and the latter's wife "filia de Noualiis uxore sua"[379]. Roger Bernard [V] & his wife had three children: i) ISABELLE de Foix (before 2 Nov 1361-1428, bur Abbaye de Boulbonne (Cistercian), Mazères {Ariège}). The 15th century Chronicle of Esquerrier names "Madona Isabel molher de Mossen Archimbaud captal de Grailli, de Buc et de Puch Pauli" as sister of "Mossen Mathieu"[380]. The testament dated 2 Nov 1361 at Barcelona of "Rogerius Bernardi de Fuxio Dei gratia vicecomes CastriBoni dominusque de Navalles, MontisCateni et CastriVeteris" names "Isabelli filiæ nostræ" appointing her as his heir if he had no male descendants[381]. She succeeded her brother in 1398 as Ctss de Foix et de Bigorre, Vicomtesse de Béarn, Vescomtesa de Castellbò, Vicomtesse de Marsan, de Gavardan et de Lautrec, dame de Navailles et de Sault. Martín King of Aragon donated to Isabelle, comtesse de Foix, the vizcondad de Castellbò and other possessions of her late brother Mathieu Comte de Foix, with a few exceptions, by letters dated 20 Jul 1400[382]. The principalilty of Béarn was defined as sobiraa (sovereign) under the treaty of Tarbes, Hautes-Pyrénées 10 May 1399 between the English and French chancelleries. In 1400, Isabelle recovered the major part of the family's Spanish properties confiscated from her brother Matthieu. m (1381) ARCHAMBAUD de Grailly, Captal de Buch, Comte de Benauges, Lavaux et Longueville, son of PIERRE [II] de Grailly, Captal de Buch & his second wife Erembourg de Périgord (-1413). - see below. ii) ROGER BERNARD de Foix (after 2 Nov 1361-died young). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. iii) MATHIEU de Foix (1363 or after-Aug 1398). The 15th century Chronicle of Esquerrier names "Mossen Mathieu" as son of "Mossen Roger Bernard de Foix, cosi germa del comte Febus…[et] fil de Girauda de Navalhas"[383]. Vescomte de Castellbò. Vicomte de Béarn. He succeeded his cousin in 1391 as Comte de Foix, in accordance with the testamentary dispositions of Gaston [I] Comte de Foix in the absence of surviving legitimate descendants of Comte Gaston [II]. On the death of his father-in-law, he organised an invasion of Aragon to enforce his wife's claim to the throne but was repelled & his wife Pere Conde de Urgel. In addition, his possessions in Spain (Castellbò, Castelviel de Rosanes, Martorell, and the remains of the Montcada lands) were confiscated by an assembly in Barcelona summoned by King Martin. His sister Isabelle recovered in 1400 the major part of these (ref. below), and his nephew Jean recovered the rest on the occasion of his m with Joana d'Urgell in 1413 (Tucoo-Chala 1980, p. 88 and p. 90). The dowager Queen Violant de Bar, widow of King Joan I, had herself written to Jean de Foix on 20 Jan 1411 to promise him to have Castellví de Rosanes and Martorell returned to him if her children came to the throne (Arch. nat. Fr., J 880, no. 27). m (by proxy Barcelona 24 Mar 1392, [in person] Jun 1392) Infanta doña JUANA de Aragón, daughter of JUAN I King of Aragon & his first wife Mathe d’Armagnac ([Zaragoza] [12/17] Aug 1375-Valencia 13 Sep 1407). Letters dated 20 and 28 Aug 1375 at Zaragoza from Mathe d’Armagnac to her father-in-law refer to the birth of “ma filla”[384]. The 15th century Chronicle of Esquerrier records that "Mossen Mathieu" married "Madona Johana infanta de Arago, filha del rey En Johan"[385]. Bofarull refers to her marriage 24 Mar 1392 “en el real palacio mayor de Barcelona...con D. Mateo Conde de Foix, por poderes concedidos a D. Hugo Conde de Pallars” but does not cite his source[386]. The Llibre del Consell of 1390-92 records the marriage Jun 1392 of “lo senyor Rey...senyora infanta filla sua” and “comes de Foix”[387].

C. COMTES de FOIX (GRAILLY)
The primary sources which confirm the parentage and marriages of the following family have not yet been identified, unless otherwise stated below.
ARCHAMBAUD de Grailly, son of PIERRE [II] de Grailly, Vicomte de Castillon[-la-Bataille], Captal de Buch, chevalier de la Jarretière & his second wife Erembourg de Périgord (-1413). Vicomte de Castillon and Baron de Gurçon, castle in Carsac-de-Gurçon {Dordogne}, subsequently, by succeeding his nephew Jean [III] de Grailly, Captal de Buch, Vicomte de Benauges {ruined castle in Arbis, Gironde}, Rolle and Lavaux {Vaud, Switzerland} et Longueville {-sur-Scie, Seine-Maritime}. Comte de Foix, de iure uxoris. A manuscript chronicle records that "D. Archambaldus de Graillaco, comes Fuxi et vice-comes Neboziani" swore allegiance for "suo vice-comitatu", with the consent of "Isabellæ uxoris suæ", to the French king in 1389[487]. His joint testament with his wife is dated 1402[488]: "Nos Archambaudus de Greilino Dei gracia comes Fuxi vicecomes Bearnii Marsani Gavardani capitalis de Bugio vicecomes Benaugiarum et Castellionis dominusque de Navalhiis et Ysabellis de Fuxo eadem gracia comitissa vicecomitissa capitalissa dominaque comitatus vicecomitatum et terrarum predictorum coniuges". m (1381) ISABELLE de Foix, daughter of ROGER BERNARD [V] de Foix Vescomte de Castellbò & his wife Géraude [Geralda/Guiraude] Dame de Navailles et de Sault (before 2 Nov 1361-1428, bur Abbaye de Boulbonne (Cistercian), Mazères {Ariège}). The 15th century Chronicle of Esquerrier names "Madona Isabel molher de Mossen Archimbaud captal de Grailli, de Buc et de Puch Pauli" as sister of "Mossen Mathieu"[489]. She succeeded her brother in 1398 as Ctss de Foix et de Bigorre, Vicomtesse de Béarn, Vescomtesa de Castellbò, Vicomtesse de Marsan, de Gavardan et de Lautrec, dame de Navailles et de Sault. Martín King of Aragon donated to Isabelle, comtesse de Foix, the vizcondad de Castellbò and other possessions of her late brother Mathieu Comte de Foix, with a few exceptions, by letters dated 20 Jul 1400[490]. The principalilty of Béarn was defined as sobiraa (sovereign) under the treaty of Tarbes, Hautes-Pyrénées 10 May 1399 between the English and French chancelleries. In 1400, Isabelle recovered the major part of the family's Spanish properties confiscated from her brother Matthieu. She made a second testament 2 Jan 1427[491] with mostly private provisions. Archambaud & his wife had five children: 1. JEAN de Foix (1382-Mazères, Ariège 4 May 1436). The 15th century Chronicle of Esquerrier names "Mossen Johan…Mossen Gaston…captal de Buc, Mossen Archimbaud…seignor de Navalhas, Mossen Mathieu…comte de Comenge, Fray Pey de l´ordre desl Frays Menors…cardinal" as the five sons of "Mossen Archimbaud de Grailli, captal de Buc et de Puch Pauli" and his wife[492]. The dowager Queen Violant of Aragon, widow of King Juan I, wrote to Jean de Foix on 20 Jan 1411 promising the return of Castellví de Rosanes and Martorell (part of the properties confiscated from his maternal uncle Matthieu Comte de Foix) if her children succeeded to the throne[493]. His parents confirmed the title Vescomte de Castellbò, which they had conferred on Jean earlier, in their joint testament dated 1402 "... facimus ordinamus et instituimus carissimum et predilectum Johannem filium nostrum primogenitum legitimum et naturalem iam ex alia nostra disposicione vicecomitem Castriboni extra pupillarem etatem existantem ... prout in precedentibus fecimus. A formal donation was made on 22 Mar 1406 with letters to the bailiff of Vich and Jean took possession 24 Apr 1406[494]. He succeeded his mother through an agreement of 22 Feb 1412 as Comte de Foix, Vicomte souverain de Béarn, Vescomte de Castellbò, Villemur et Lautrec Vicomte de Marsan, Gabardan, Nébouzan, Vicomte souverain de Béarn, although the Etats de Béarn strongly objected to this familial arrangement and steadily refused to hear Jean de Foix's oath until Isabelle's death in 1428.. He became Comte de Bigorre in 1415 by agreement with Bernard VII Comte d'Armagnac, a title finally recognised by the King of France by letters patent of 18 Nov 1425, which definitively stabilized Jean de Foix's hitherto changing allegiances. The King of France installed him as Governor of Dauphiné in 1416. In 1425 he was appointed Governor of Languedoc (lieutenant du roi en Languedoc) and received from the King the vicomté de Lautrec[495]. He also bought the vicomté de Villemur. Jean recovered the remaining part of the family's Spanish properties on his third marriage[496]. He made a testament and a codicil dated 9 Oct 1429[497], mostly with private provisions. The 15th century Chronicle of Esquerrier records the death "à Mazeras" in May 1436 of "Mossen Johan"[498]. m firstly (Olite 12 Nov 1402) Infanta doña JUANA de Navarra, daughter of don CARLOS III "el Noble" King of Navarre & his wife Infanta doña Leonor de Castilla (1382-Béarn Jul 1413). She was recognised as heir to the throne of Navarre at Olite 3 Dec 1402. m secondly (betrothed [12 Jun 1411], 23 May 1422) JEANNE d'Albret, daughter of CHARLES [I] d'Albret Seigneur d'Albret [Constable of France] & his wife Marie Dame de Sully et de Craon (1403-1433). A contract dated 12 Jun 1411 records a payment made by "Archambaut comte de Foix" to "sire d´Albret Charles" for the marriage of "madame de Grelly fille dudict d´Albret"[499]. This document is presumably misdated, assuming that the date of death of Jean´s first wife is correctly stated above. The 15th century Chronicle of Esquerrier records the second marriage 23 May 1422 of "Mossen Johan" and "Madona Johana de Labrit"[500]. m thirdly (May 1436) as her first husband, doña JUANA de Urgel, daughter of don JAIME de Urgel [Aragón] Conde de Urgel & his wife Infanta doña Isabel de Aragón (Sijena 1415-1446 or after). The 15th century Chronicle of Esquerrier records the third marriage in May 1436 of "Mossen Johan" and "Madona Johana de Arago filha del comte de Urgel"[501]. She married secondly don Juan Ramón Folch [III] de Cardona Conde de Cardona, Duque de Cardona 1482. Comte Jean & his second wife had two children: a) GASTON [IV] de Foix (26 Feb 1423-Roncevalles 25 Jul 1472, bur [Boulbonne]). The 15th century Chronicle of Esquerrier records the birth 26 Feb 1422 (O.S.) of "Mossen Gaston fil de Mossen Johan et de Madona Johana de Labrit"[502]. He succeeded his father in 1436 as Comte de Foix et de Bigorre, Vicomte de Béarn. - see below. b) PIERRE de Foix (-1454). Vicomte de Lautrec. Jean Chartier’s Chronique de Charles VII records that “le conte de Foix...[et] le seigneur de Lautrec son frère et...le bastart de Foix” captured “le chastel de Guissen” near Bayonne from the English, dated to 1450 from the context[503]. The identity of the last-named has not been established. Jean Chartier’s Chronique de Charles VII names “le conte de Foix, et avec luy le viconte de Lautrec, son frère légitime, Messire Bernard, de Berne, son frère naturel illégitime” among those who captured “la ville d’Arques” from the English in May 1451[504]. m (contract 23 Jul 1449) CATHERINE d'Astarac, daughter of JEAN [III] Comte d'Astarac & his first wife Jeanne de Barbazon. Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage, and her marriage contract dated 23 Jul 1449, but cites no sources on which the information is based[505]. Pierre & his wife had one child: i) JEAN de Foix (posthumously[506] [1454/55]-after 1498).

Captal de Buch, Vicomte de Benauge, Comte de Longueville, Seigneur de Grilly. “Monsieur Gaston de Foix Comte de Longueville et Seigneur de Meille au Royaume d’Aragon” appointed proxies for the sale “des lieux de Greilly, Ville La Grand et de Rolle siz au Duché de Savoye”, to pay the ransom of “Jean de Foix Comte de Candale son fils unique et legitime heritier” for himself and for “Marguerite Comtesse de Candale femme dudit Seigneur Jean son fils et de Gaston et de Jean de Foix enfans dudit Jean et de ladite Marguerite”, by charter dated 3 May 1455[515]. Père Anselme records that the properties were sold 26 Aug 1455, and that Gaston retired to Meilles in Aragon where he died[516]. m ([1410] MARGUERITE d'Albret, daughter of ARNAUD AMANIEU [VIII] d'Albret Vicomte de Tartas & his wife Marguerite de Bourbon (-Bordeaux 1453). The marriage contract of "Gaston comte de Foix" and "madame Marguerite d´Albret" is dated 19 May 1410[517]. The receipt for the dowry paid by "Gaston de Foix captal de Buchz, viscomtes de Benauges" to "messire Charles d´Albret, conestable de France" for his marriage to "Marguerite d´Albret…sœur du dict d´Albret" is dated 24 Dec 1414[518]. Père Anselme records her testament dated 1453[519]. Gaston [IV] & his wife had three children: a) JEAN de Foix (-after 5 Dec 1485, bur Castelnau de Medoc). Comte de Benauges. He was named Knight of the Garter 12 May 1446 and created Earl of Kendal around the same time for services to England, but never summoned to Parliament[520]. He was known in France, by way of approximate French translation, as “Comte de Candale”, a title which he passed to his descendants. “Monsieur Gaston de Foix Comte de Longueville et Seigneur de Meille au Royaume d’Aragon” appointed proxies for the sale “des lieux de Greilly, Ville La Grand et de Rolle siz au Duché de Savoye”, to pay the ransom of “Jean de Foix Comte de Candale son fils unique et legitime heritier” for himself and for “Marguerite Comtesse de Candale femme dudit Seigneur Jean son fils et de Gaston et de Jean de Foix enfans dudit Jean et de ladite Marguerite”, by charter dated 3 May 1455[521]. He surrendered the Garter in 1462[522]. Père Anselme records his testament dated 5 Dec 1485, under which he left “l’usufruit des terres de Gurson et de Fleix” to his wife, and his place of burial[523]. m ([1440]) MARGARET Kerdeston, daughter of Sir THOMAS Kerdeston & his first wife Elizabeth de la Pole of the Earls of Suffolk (after 1425-after 5 Dec 1485). The precise parentage of the wife of Jean de Foix has been the subject of speculation over the years. For example, Père Anselme names her as “Marguerite de la Pole Suffolk...fille de Richard duc de Suffolk et de Marie dite de Sicile, suivant une preuve d’un chanoine de S. Jean de Lyon”[524]. On the other hand, the Complete Peerage calls her “Margaret de la Pole, niece of William (de la Pole) Duke of Suffolk, and said to be daughter of his brother Sir John de la Pole”[525]. An imprecise family relationship with the Pole family is confirmed by the Parliament Rolls 1450, recording the impeachment of the Duke of Suffolk, which accuse him particularly of actions “for the particular enrichment of his Neece and hir husband, sonne to the Capidawe [=Captal]...[made] the seid sonne Erle of Kendale”[526]. Another contemporary manuscript, relating to the same accusations against the duke, establishes the precise family relationship, noting that “the Duke of Suffolk hathe marryede his nese, his suster doughter, to je Capdawe...” and specifying her dowry[527]. The identity of the duke’s sister as Elizabeth, wife of Sir Thomas Kerdeston, was established by Hansen in an article published in 1988[528]. The argument runs as follows: (1) Hansen quotes a third source relating to the duke’s impeachment which accused him of dishonestly acquiring “the lordship and castell of Glaxton [Claxton], Resham [Refham] and other landes...in Norfolk and Suffo[lk] which were of the enheritaunce of his seid nece”[529]. (2) He cites sources which confirm that Sir Thomas Kerdeston’s lands in Norfolk and Suffolk included Claxton and Refham[530]. (3) Inquisitions were taken in 1440 after the death of Elizabeth, deceased wife of Sir Thomas Kerdeston and previously the wife of Sir Edward Burnell[531]. (4) Sir Edward was the son of Hugh Burnell Lord Burnell (died 1420)[532]. (5) According to the Complete Peerage, the first wife of Hugh Lord Burnell (and mother of his children) was “Philippa daughter of Michael de la Pole 2nd Earl of Suffolk by Katherine daughter of Hugh Stafford Earl Stafford[533]. (6) Hansen, noting that this parentage of Hugh’s first wife is impossible considering the marriage of Michael de la Pole in 1383 and Hugh Lord Burnell’s second marriage in 1386, suggests that the entry derives from a source (unspecified) confirming that a daughter of Earl Michael married a Burnell and incorrect speculation about her name and identification of her husband[534]. (7) A source dated 1403 confirms that Earl Michael did then have a daughter named Elizabeth[535]. (8) Michael Earl of Suffolk acknowledged a debt to Sir Edward Burnell 12 Jun 1415, the reason being unspecified but, as property was settled on Edward’s wife Elizabeth 18 Jun 1415, can reasonably be supposed to be connected with Elizabeth’s dowry[536]. “Monsieur Gaston de Foix Comte de Longueville et Seigneur de Meille au Royaume d’Aragon” appointed proxies for the sale “des lieux de Greilly, Ville La Grand et de Rolle siz au Duché de Savoye”, to pay the ransom of “Jean de Foix Comte de Candale son fils unique et legitime heritier” for himself and for “Marguerite Comtesse de Candale femme dudit Seigneur Jean son fils et de Gaston et de Jean de Foix enfans dudit Jean et de ladite Marguerite”, by charter dated 3 May 1455[537]. Jean & his wife had four children: i) GASTON de Foix (-after Dec 1502). “Monsieur Gaston de Foix Comte de Longueville et Seigneur de Meille au Royaume d’Aragon” appointed proxies for the sale “des lieux de Greilly, Ville La Grand et de Rolle siz au Duché de Savoye”, to pay the ransom of “Jean de Foix Comte de Candale son fils unique et legitime heritier” for himself and for “Marguerite Comtesse de Candale femme dudit Seigneur Jean son fils et de Gaston et de Jean de Foix enfans dudit Jean et de ladite Marguerite”, by charter dated 3 May 1455[538]. Comte de Candale et de Benauges. - see below. ii) JEAN de Foix (-after 1521). “Monsieur Gaston de Foix Comte de Longueville et Seigneur de Meille au Royaume d’Aragon” appointed proxies for the sale “des lieux de Greilly, Ville La Grand et de Rolle siz au Duché de Savoye”, to pay the ransom of “Jean de Foix Comte de Candale son fils unique et legitime heritier” for himself and for “Marguerite Comtesse de Candale femme dudit Seigneur Jean son fils et de Gaston et de Jean de Foix enfans dudit Jean et de ladite Marguerite”, by charter dated 3 May 1455[539].

GASTON [IV] de Foix, son of JEAN [III] [de Grailly] Comte de Foix et de Bigorre Vicomte de Béarn & his second wife Jeanne d'Albret (26 Feb 1423-Roncevalles 25 Jul 1472, bur [Boulbonne]). The 15th century Chronicle of Esquerrier records the birth 26 Feb 1422 (O.S.) of "Mossen Gaston fil de Mossen Johan et de Madona Johana de Labrit"[565]. He succeeded his father in 1436 as Comte de Foix et de Bigorre, Vicomte de Béarn. The first testament of Gaston IV is dated 12 Nov 1444 at Orthez[566]. The testament of “dominus Gasto…princeps Navarre, comes Fuxi, dominus Bearnii”, dated 9 Jul 1472, chose burial “in loco ubi predecessores et progenitores sui sunt sepulti”, named “Franciscum Febus, filium naturalem et legitimum per rectam lineam descendentem” as his universal heir, appointing “domina Leonor, principissa Navarra, uxor sua” as “domina et major in suis terris…”, ordered the restitution of “tangentia dominum de Lautrec, adimplentur et terra cum castro de Villamur” to “eidem nepoti” in accordance with the testament of “patris sui domini Johannis, comitis Fuxi et Bigorre”, made bequests to “dominus Petris de Fuxo, Sancte Sedis apostolice protonotarius, ejus filius…”[567]. Courteault records his burial “à Orthez…dans l’église des Frères Prêcheurs…en attendant qu’elle pût être transportée à l'abbaye de Boulbonne", adding that “son cœur resta à Notre-Dame de Roncevaux”, but suggests that the transfer to Boulbonne never took place, noting the destruction at the end of the 16th century of a tomb at Orthez whose epitaph recorded “Gastoni principis ossa”[568]. On the other hand, R. Anthony observes that “tout tend à prouver que la tombe d’Orthez attribuée à Gaston IV soit celle de Gaston VII de Moncade, vicomte de Béarn, mort en 1290, et que Gaston IV ait été inhumé à Boulbonne comme ses prédécesseurs”[569], citing Marca who records the testament of Gaston [VII] Vicomte de Béarn [Moncada] (see the document GASCONY-BEARN, BIGORRE), in which he chose burial “en l’Eglise des Freres Predicateurs d’Ortés”, his death 26 Apr 1290, and his burial as instructed, his epitaph reading “Gastonis principis ossa…”[570]. m (contract [Tarbes 8 Aug 1434] contract 22 Sep 1434, [consummated early 1442?]) Infanta doña LEONOR de Aragón y Navarra, daughter of JUAN II King of Navarre, Infante de Aragón [later JUAN II King of Aragon] & his wife Blanca Queen of Navarre (Olite 2 Feb 1425-Tudela 12 Feb 1479, bur Tudela, later transferred Tafalla San Sebastián). R. Anthony states that her place of birth is confirmed by a (contemporary?) manuscript which records that “En février 1426, Blanche, sa mère, était en effet à Olite”[571]. The 15th century Chronicle of Esquerrier records that "Mossen Gaston fil de Mossen Johan et de Madona Johana de Labrit" married "Madona Leonor infanta de Navarra"[572]. Père Anselme records her marriage contract dated 22 Dec 1434 (no source cited)[573]. R. Anthony says that this date is incorrect, referring to a copy of the contract in the “Archives des Basses-Pyrénées” [now Pyrénées-Atlantiques], and noting an undated copy in the “Archives de Navarre” which is marked on the reverse “22 septembre 1434 et, d’une écriture plus ancienne, Tarbes 8 août 1434” and is indexed under “Tarbes, 11 août 1434”[574]. The marriage contract between “Dominam Infantissam Navarræ Helionorem filiam…Regis et Reginæ Navarræ” and “Gastonem de Fuxo Vicecomitem Castriboni filium primogenitum Domini Comitis Fuxi” is dated 22 Sep 1434[575]. R. Anthony notes “mariage réalisé seulement en 1443”, recording that “Eléonore ne quitta la Navarre qu’en décembre 1442”[576]. The date 1443 seems late, considering that Leonor was pregnant with her second child 12 Nov 1444 (see below). R. Anthony cites Miret y Sans whose more specific text notes that Gaston de Foix visited Olite in Navarre twice in 1440, again in Feb 1442, and in Apr/May 1442 “para acordar el viaje de su esposa Leonor, que debía definitivamente abandonar la corte de Navarra para comenzar la vida marital”, but that Leonor “no salió de Navarra hasta Diciembre y el opispo de Pamplona la condujo á Ortez” (no sources cited, and no reference to a second marriage ceremony)[577]. In light of this narrative, it seems more likely that the marriage was consummated in early 1442 and that Leonor’s departure from Navarre was delayed by her first pregnancy. Her father named her Lieutenant General of the Kingdom of Navarre 1464. She succeeded her father in 1479 as LEONOR I Queen of Navarre. Zurita records her titles “Reyna de Navarra, y Infante de Aragon, y Sicilia, Duqsa de Nemours, Gandia, y Momblanc, y de Peñafiel, Condesa de Fox, y señora de Bearne, Condesa de Bigorra, y de Ribagorça, y señora de la Ciudad de Balaguer”, and notes that, finding her life in danger, she named “Don Frances Febus su nieto, hijo de Gaston de Fox Principe de Viana su hijo” as her heir, and under her testament dated 10 Feb 1379 ordered her burial “en un monasterio, que mandaua edificar cerca de la Villa de Tafalla de Santa Maria de la misericordia” (and ordered that the body of her mother, buried “en el monasterio de Santa Maria de Nieua”, be transferred there) and made bequests ”al Infante Don Iayme su hijo, porque no tenia Estado ninguno…”[578]. Zurita records her death “dentro de dos dias” [after her testament][579]. Comte Gaston [IV] & his wife had eleven children: 1. MARIE de Foix Infanta de Navarra ([late 1442/early 1443?]-[young]). R. Anthony records that the first testament of Gaston IV, dated 12 Nov 1444, names his daughter Marie, and identifies her as the wife of Guglielmo X Marchese di Monferrato (see below)[580]. See above under her mother for discussion about her birth date. The dating of the Monferrato marriage to [19 Jan] 1466 (see below) suggests that this Marie would have been old for marriage at that time, considering then current practice. If that is correct, this Marie may have died young before the birth of her sister who was given the same name. 2. GASTON de Foix Infante de Navarra ([early-mid 1445 or later?]-Libourne, Gironde 23 Nov 1470, bur Bordeaux, Cathédrale Saint-André). His parentage is confirmed by Zurita (cited under his son). R. Anthony notes that the first testament of Gaston IV, dated 12 Nov 1444, records that his wife was then pregnant, and identifies Gaston as the child in question[581]. This identification is not inevitable. No evidence has been found that the Nov 1444 pregnancy came to term or, if so, that the child born survived infancy. It is therefore possible that Gaston was born after a subsequent pregnancy. Principe de Viana. Follow the hyperlink below for further information about Gaston. 3. JEAN de Foix Infante de Navarra ([1447/48?]-Etampes 5 Nov 1500, bur Etampes Notre-Dame). Zurita records information about Leonor’s sons: “El segundo…el infante Don Iuan, fue señor de Narbona…”[582]. R. Anthony says that Jean’s birth “ne put avoir lieu qu’en 1447 ou 1448”[583], which seems a reasonable assumption bearing in mind the chronology of the family and the likely order of births of the children. Comte d'Etampes, Vicomte de Narbonne. Carbonnell recorded that, when she died, Leonor Queen of Navarre left “tres fills mascles…Son los fills lo Infant don Pere Vezcomte de Narbona lo Cardenal de Foix et Linfant don Jayme…”[584]. The testament of “Francez Phebus…Rey de Navarre…”, dated 29 Jan 1482 (O.S.), confirmed bequests under their parents’ testaments to “Mossen Pierre Infant de Nauarre Cardinal de Sancte Eglise…Mossen Ioan de Fouix Seignour de Narbonne…Don Iacques Infant de Nauarre”[585]. He claimed the throne of Navarre on the death in 1483 of his nephew Francisco Febo King of Navarre, settled at Tarbes 7 Sep 1497 by agreement with his niece Catalina Queen of Navarre[586]: an agreement dated 7 Sep 1497 settled the dispute between “Catherinam Reginam Navarræ ” and “Dominum Ioannem de Fuxo, Comitem de Stampis, et Vicecomitem de Narbona” concerning “Regno Navarræ, Patriæ Bearnii, Comitatibusque de Fuxo et Bigorræ…Vicecomitatibus de Nebozano, Marsano, Tursano, Gavardano”[587]. The testament of “Jehan…roy de Navarre, comte de Foix et d’Estampes, vicomte et seigneur de Narbonne et pair de France, gisant au lit malade”, dated 27 Oct 1500, requested burial at “Estampes…en l’eglise Nostre-Dame d’Estampes”, bequeathed property to “nostre…fille Germaine de Foix…fils et héritier Gaston de Foix…nostre…nepveu et serviteur, Roger de Béarn, la terre et seigneurie d’Aspet…[ou] la ville…d’Aulterive…nostre…frere Jaques de Foix…”[588]. Père Anselme records his death “bien-tôt après [son testament]” and his burial “dans l’église collégiale de Notre-Dame d’Etampes”[589]. R. Anthony notes that Polluche dated Jean’s death to “quelques jours après le 5 novembre”[590]. m (1476) MARIE d'Orléans, daughter of CHARLES Duc d'Orléans & his third wife Maria von Kleve (Château de Blois, Loir-et-Cher 19 Dec 1457-Mazères, Ariège [1492/93], bur Mazères [or Etampes Notre-Dame]). The Chronique Scandaleuse of Louis XI names “madame de Nerbonne fille du feu Duc d’Orleans” as wife of “monseigneur le Viconte de Nerbonne fils du Comte de Fouez”[591]. R. Anthony dates the marriage to “vers 1485” (no source cited)[592]. La Perrière’s 1539 Annalles de Foix records that “Marie Dorleans” died 1492 at “Maseres” and was buried “a Leglise parrochialle dudict lieu”[593]. R. Anthony notes (referring to Marie’s date of death) that “La plupart des auteurs disent cependant 1493, peut-être après avoir fait une correction de Style?” (no source citations)[594]. R. Anthony notes that Polluche stated that Marie “repose avec son mari à l’église collégiale N.-D. dÈtampes”[595]. Jean & his wife had two children: a) GERMAINE de Foix ([Mazères] [1486?]-Liria 16 Oct 1538). La Perrière’s 1539 Annalles de Foix records her parentage and marriage 1506 to “Ferdinand Roy Despaigne” arranged by her maternal uncle the king of France[596]. R. Anthony says that Germaine was born “à Mazères, vers 1486” (no source cited)[597]. R. Anthony records that her first marriage was decided under the Treaty of Blois 12 Oct 1505, and was celebrated 18 Mar 1506 (N.S.) (no source cited for the latter date)[598]. Garibay records the marriage “en la villa de Dueñas” 18 Mar 1505 (O.S.)[599]. Père Anselme records her second and third marriages[600]. R. Anthony records her death 16 Oct 1538[601]. In a later passage, he clarifies her place of death as Liria in the kingdom of Valencia, dismissing reports that she died at “Llivia”[602]. m firstly (Blois 19 Oct 1505, Dueñas 18 Mar 1506) as his second wife, FERNANDO II "el Católico" King of Aragon, son of JUAN II King of Aragon and Navarre & his second wife doña Juana Enríquez Señora de Casarrubios del Monte y Arroyojolinos (Soa 10 Mar 1452-Madrigalejo 25 Jan 1516). m secondly (17 Jun 1519) JOHANN Markgraf von Brandenburg-Ansbach, son of FRIEDRICH V "der Ältere" Markgraf von Brandenburg in Ansbach & his wife Zofia of Poland (Plassenburg 9 Jan 1493-Valencia 5 Jul 1525, bur Kloster Jerusalem near Valencia). Viceroy of Valencia 1515, 1521. m thirdly (Seville Aug 1526) as his first wife, FERNANDO de Aragón Duca di Calabria Principe di Tarento, son of FEDERIGO IV King of Naples & his first wife Anne de Savoie (Andria 15 Dec 1488-Valencia 26 Oct 1550). Viceroy of Valencia, in right of his first wife, 1526-1540, where he established a lively court which promoted theatre and music. b) GASTON de Foix (Mazères 10 Dec 1489-killed in battle Ravenna 11 Apr 1512, bur Milan Cathedral). La Perrière’s 1539 Annalles de Foix records his parentage and birth 10 Dec 1489 “au chasteau de Maseres”, from where he and his sister escaped a fire when still infants[603]. He succeeded his father 1500 as Comte d'Etampes, Vicomte de Narbonne. He succeeded as Comte de Foix. Created Duc de Nemours, pair de France 19 Nov 1507, registered 14 Jan 1508. The 1540 Historia Fuxensium Comitum of Bertrandi Helie Appamiensis records the death “adhuc bello ad Ravennam” of “Gasto dux” and his burial “in æde (quam Mediolanenses domum appellant)”[604]. Père Anselme records his date of death[605]. Betrothed (contract 24 Apr 1497) to Infanta doña ANA de Navarra, daughter of JUAN King of Navarre [Albret] & his wife Catalina Queen of Navarre (Pau 19 May 1492-Pau 1532, after 15 Aug, bur Lescar). The betrothal contract between “Jean et Chaterine, roy et royne de Navarre…Anne princesse de Navarre, fille aisnée” and “Jean de Foix comte d’Estampes, vicomte de Narbonne…Gaston de Foix fils aisné”, to be married “quand ladite madame Anne…fera d’aage d’estre mariée”, is dated 24 Apr 1497[606]. 4. PIERRE de Foix Infante de Navarra (Pau 7 Feb 1449-Rome 10 Aug 1490, bur Rome Santa Maria del Popolo). Zurita records information about Leonor’s sons: “…el tercero el Infante Don Pedro Cardenal de Fox”[607]. Bishop of Vannes. The testament of “dominus Gasto…princeps Navarre, comes Fuxi, dominus Bearnii”, dated 9 Jul 1472, made bequests to “dominus Petris de Fuxo, Sancte Sedis apostolice protonotarius, ejus filius…”[608]. Archbishop of Arles 1476. Cardinal. Carbonnell recorded that, when she died, Leonor Queen of Navarre left “tres fills mascles…Son los fills lo Infant don Pere Vezcomte de Narbona lo Cardenal de Foix et Linfant don Jayme…”[609]. The testament of “Francez Phebus…Rey de Navarre…”, dated 29 Jan 1482 (O.S.), confirmed bequests under their parents’ testaments to “Mossen Pierre Infant de Nauarre Cardinal de Sancte Eglise…Mossen Ioan de Fouix Seignour de Narbonne…Don Iacques Infant de Nauarre”[610]. The 1540 Historia Fuxensium Comitum of Bertrandi Helie Appamiensis records the death of Pierre in Rome 1490[611]. R. Anthony records his date of death and place of burial (no sources cited)[612]. 5. MARIE de Foix ([1451/53?]-[late 1467/early 1468?]). A continuation of the Chronica Jacobi de Aquis names "Maria sorella del Cardinale de Foes" as the first wife of "Guglielmo" second son of "Zoanne Jacobo figlolo di Teodoro"[613]. Zurita records information about Leonor’s daughters “las Infantes sus hijas…y la Infante Doña Maria, q fue la mayor, q casò con Guillermo Marques de Monferrat, era ya fallecida, y la Infante Dona Iuana, q fue la segunda, casò con sua postrer Conde de Armenaq, de quie no quedò sucession…”[614]. Her birth date is estimated from the date of her marriage. Père Anselme dates Marie’s marriage 1466 (no source cited)[615]. On the other hand, Vaissète dates the marriage “en 1460”[616], which is inconsistent with the primary sources cited below. Cadier dates Marie’s marriage “en 1468”, which must represent a mistranscription as he cites only Vaissète (1460) and Anselme (1466)[617]. The chronicle of Guillaume Leseur (“composée quelques années après la mort du prince qui en est le héros”[618]) records that in Aug 1465 “les gens…de monsieur le marquis de Montferrat…Guilharme” came to Gaston IV Comte de Foix “pour faire ouverture…du mariage de madame Marie de Foix, sa fille, avec ledit sieur marquis de Montferrat”, resulting in a betrothal by proxy (“ung chevalier…messire Franscequin” representing Marchese Guglielmo), Marie’s departure for Monferrato accompanied by “monsieur Pierre de Foix, frere de la susdite dame…l’evesque de Comminges et…l’evesque de Rieux; et…messire Bernard de Bearn, bastard de Foix” and others, with a description of the marriage festivities after their arrival in Italy[619]. La Perrière’s 1539 Annalles de Foix dates Marie’s departure for Italy to 1466, presumably extrapolating from Leseur: he records the marriage of “Marie…la premiere [fille]…par le moyen de son frere, le Cardinal [although he was not yet cardinal at that time]…avecques Guillaume Marquis de Montferrat en Lombardie” and Marie leaving for Montferrat in 1466 “par led Cardinal, apres avoir obtenu exprez consentement du Roy [de France]”[620]. Litta dates the marriage 19 Jan 1465 (no source cited)[621], which, if “O.S.” could be consistent with Leseur. Leseur’s chronicle records that the couple lived together “cinq ou six ans” [which must be exaggerated], that “au IIe an ladite dame…enfanta une très belle fille”, but that Marie died after giving birth “du IIe enfant…une très belle fille”, her husband taking comfort “en voyant…sa belle enfante sa fille, que ladite dame marquise laissa plaine de saine vie” [which suggests that the earlier child must have died soon after birth][622]. Litta records Marie’s death in 1467 (no source cited)[623] which, if she gave birth to two children as recorded by Leseur, would be possible only if she died late in 1467 or early in 1468 (N.S.). m ([19 Jan] 1466) as his first wife, GUGLIELMO X Marchese di Monferrato, son of GIANGIACOMO Marchese di Monferrato & his wife Jeanne de Savoie (19 Jul 1420-28 Feb 1483). 6. JEANNE de Foix ([1452/54?]-Pau after 12 Feb 1479, bur Lescar). Zurita records information about Leonor’s daughters “las Infantes sus hijas…y la Infante Dona Iuana, q fue la segunda, casò con sua postrer Conde de Armenaq, de quie no quedò sucession:…”[624]. Her birth date is estimated from the date of her marriage, bearing in mind the likely birth dates of her siblings. Père Anselme records Jeanne’s marriage contract dated 31 Aug 1468[625]. The chronicle of Guillaume Leseur records successful negotiations for the marriage of “le conte d’Armignac…avecques madame Jehanne de Foix, fille seconde de monsieur le prince de Navarre, conte de Foix”, despite King Louis XI withdrawing his support, and the marriage in Aug 1470 “en sa ville de Auze en Armignac”[626]. Samaran records the marriage celebrated in Aug 1469 at Lectoure[627]. After her husband was murdered, Jeanne lived at the Franciscan convent at Rodez where she arrived 23 Aug 1473, and by charter dated 10 Feb 1476 transferred property in Armagnac and Rouergue to Ymbert de Batarnay[628]. Carbonnell recorded that, when she died, Leonor Queen of Navarre left “tres fills mascles e tres filles fembres…les filles son la Contessa Darmanyach la Duquesa de Bretanya e la Infanta dona Elionor donzella”[629]. La Perrière’s 1539 Annalles de Foix records that “La seconde fille…Iehanne…marie au Comte Darmygnac dernier, et pour aultant quelle neust aulcuns enfans de luy revint a Pau, auquel lieu mourut, et fut enterree a Lescar”[630]. The 1540 Historia Fuxensium Comitum of Bertrandi Helie Appamiensis records that “Secunda Gastonis comitis et Leonoræ filia…Ioanna quæ Armeniacum comitem…” returned to Béarn after her husband died, died “Palensi oppido”, and was buried “Lascurris”[631]. Oihénart says that, after the death of her husband, Jeanne married secondly “Ioannis Asteriensis Vicecomitis”[632], which appears to confuse Jeanne with her supposed illegitimate half-sister (see below). m (contract 31 Aug 1468, Eauze [or Lectoure] 19 Aug 1469) JEAN [V] Comte d'Armagnac, son of JEAN [IV] Comte d'Armagnac & his second wife Infanta doña Isabel de Navarra (1420-murdered Lectoure 5 Mar 1473, bur Lectoure Saint-Gervais). 7. MARGUERITE de Foix ([1453/55?]-Nantes 15 May 1486, bur Nantes église cathédrale (Saint-Pierre), transferred 25 May 1507 to Nantes église des Carmes, returned 1817 to Nantes église cathédrale). Zurita records information about Leonor’s daughters “las Infantes sus hijas Doña Margarita, que fue la tercera estaua ya en este tiempo [when her mother died] casada con Francisco Duq de Bretaña…”[633]. Her birth date is estimated from the date of her marriage, bearing in mind the likely birth dates of her siblings. The chronicle of Guillaume Leseur (“composée quelques années après la mort du prince qui en est le héros”[634]) records the marriage in Jun 1471 of “[le] duc de Bretaigne avecques madame Marguerite de Foix, fille de monsieur le prince de Navarre, conte de Foix”[635]. R. Anthony records “un contrat dotal” for Marguerite’s marriage dated 27 May 1471 and the marriage contract dated 26 Jun 1471[636]. La Perrière’s 1539 Annalles de Foix records that “La tierce fille…Marguerite” married “le Duc Francoys de Bretaigne dernier decede” 27 Jun 1471[637]. Carbonnell recorded that, when she died, Leonor Queen of Navarre left “tres fills mascles e tres filles fembres…les filles son la Contessa Darmanyach la Duquesa de Bretanya e la Infanta dona Elionor donzella”[638]. La Perrière’s 1539 Annalles de Foix records the death in 1486 “ladicte Marguerite de Foix Duchesse de Bretagne…en la ville de Nantes” and her burial “en Leglise Cathedralle dycelle”[639]. A (contemporary?) manuscript records her death 15 May 1486[640]. Durville traces her places of burial as shown above[641]. m (contract 27 May 1471, contract Clisson [26/27] Jun 1471) as his second wife, FRANÇOIS II Duke of Brittany, son of RICHARD de Bretagne Comte d'Etampes & his wife Marguerite d'Orléans Ctss de Vertus (23 Jun 1433-Coiron 9 Sep 1488, bur Nantes église des Carmélites). 8. CATHERINE de Foix ([1455/56?]-before 1494). Zurita records information about Leonor’s daughters “las Infantes sus hijas…Doña Catalina, q caso despues con Gaston de Fox Conde de Candala, y fue madre de Ana Reyna de Vngria muger del Rey Ladislao…”[642]. Her birth date is estimated from the date of her first marriage, but bearing in mind the likely birth dates of her siblings. Catherine’s second marriage contract is undated, but Madeleine de France is named in the document as “tutrice de François Phœbus” [her son], indicating that the contract was dated after her husband’s death 23 Nov 1470[643]. It is suggested that the couple married [1476] soon after the death of Catherine’s first husband. The date of Catherine’s death is not known, although the contract for her husband’s second marriage is dated 30 Jan 1494. m firstly (contract before 2 Feb 1475) PIERRE de Laval Seigneur de Montafilant, son of GUY [XIV] de Laval [Montfort] Comte de Laval & his second wife Françoise de Dinan Dame de…Montafilant (-[1475/76]). Minutes of “lo conselh deus tres Estatz de Bearn, Marsan et Gabardan, per mandement de…Madame la princesse de Biane…tutoressa…del…princep Frances Phebus…”, held 2 Feb 1474 (O.S.) at Lescar, notified “lo maridadge contractat enter madame Cathaline, fille de…Mossenhor Gaston…prince de Navarre…et de…Leonor princessa de Navarre…” and “lo senhor de Montefilan en Bretanhe”[644]. R. Anthony identifies the bridegroom as shown above[645]. Catherine’s first husband presumably died soon after their marriage, although R. Anthony highights a document dated 26 Sep 1493 which records a “Transaction entre Guy XV [de Laval] et Pierre de Montafilant, seigneur de Loiron et de Lancheneil sur les droits de justice”[646], which at first sight appears to throw doubt on the death of Pierre de Laval in [1475/76]. However, it is suggested that “Montafilant” in that extract is an error and that the entry refers to Pierre de Mathefelon Seigneur de Lancheneil. m secondly ([1476]) as his first wife, GASTON de Foix Comte de Candale et de Benauges, son of JEAN de Foix Comte de Benauges Earl of Kendal & his wife Margaret Kerdeston (-after Dec 1502). 9. LEONOR de Foix ([Jan 1457]-after 12 Feb 1479, bur monastery of San Sebastián near Tafalla). Zurita records information about Leonor’s daughters “las Infantes sus hijas…Doña Catalina…y Doña Leonor q murio donzella…”[647]. Her birth date is indicated by the chronicle of Guillaume Leseur which records Leonor’s mother at “Sangosse” with her children (dated by Courteault to early October, after the capture “des ville et chastel de Hoys” [Aoix, near Pamplona] after a campaign the start of which Leseur dates to 15 Jul 1456[648]), noting that “pour le temps de lors estoit la susdite contesse grosse de madame Leonor de Foix, sa cinquiesme et derrenière fille”[649]; based on this passage, R. Anthony dates Leonor’s birth ”au début de 1457”[650]. Courteault records that [in late 1471?] “[le] sire de…Lescun [chambellan of Louis XI King of France] songea à marier le duc de Guyenne [Charles, youngest brother of King Louis XI] avec la dernière fille du comte de Foix Eléonore", to strengthen King Louis XI’s network of alliances by adding Leonor’s maternal grandfather Juan II King of Aragon, but noting that “ce projet n’aboutit pas : c’était au mariage de Bourgogne que Charles de Guyenne tenait avant tout”[651]. Carbonnell recorded that, when she died, Leonor Queen of Navarre left “tres fills mascles e tres filles fembres…les filles son la Contessa Darmanyach la Duquesa de Bretanya e la Infanta dona Elionor donzella”[652]. Père Anselme records her betrothal “au duc de Medina-Celi”, but notes that Leonor “mourut jeune avant l’accomplissement de cette alliance” (no source cited)[653]: R. Anthony records ”[une] autorisation au roi pour le dot de la princesse Eléonore” dated 9 Feb 1480[654]. The date of her death is not known. R. Anthony records her place of burial[655]. 10. JACQUES de Foix Infante de Navarra ([late 1462/early 1463]-after 22 Mar 1509). The chronicle of Guillaume Leseur records his mother’s pregnancy with his sister Léonor, adding that “jasoit toutesvoys que long temps apres elle conceut encore d’un beau filz, savoir est de Jacques monsieur de Foix, le plus jeune des enfans de ladite maison de Foix”, recording in a later passage (dated to 1464 from the context) that “Messire Jammes de Foix…était petit pupille comme d’un an d’aage”[656]. His more precise date of birth is suggested from the birth of his younger sister Anne (see below). Zurita records the testament of his mother Leonor, dated 10 Feb 1379, which made bequests ”al Infante Don Iayme su hijo, porque no tenia Estado ninguno…”, including Montfort[657]: Comte de Montfort. Carbonnell recorded that, when she died, Leonor Queen of Navarre left “tres fills mascles…Son los fills lo Infant don Pere Vezcomte de Narbona lo Cardenal de Foix et Linfant don Jayme…”[658]. The testament of “Francez Phebus…Rey de Navarre…”, dated 29 Jan 1482 (O.S.), confirmed bequests under their parents’ testaments to “Mossen Pierre Infant de Nauarre Cardinal de Sancte Eglise…Mossen Ioan de Fouix Seignour de Narbonne…Don Iacques Infant de Nauarre”[659].

D. SEIGNEURS de GRAILLY
The familly de Grailly originated in the castle of Grilly {Ain}, located in the Pays de Gex, near Lake Geneva. As a family name, Grailly was one of the many spellings at the time, along with Greyli, Greli, Greely etc, but became the most popular. Jean de Grailly had an outstanding career in Aquitaine where he founded the line. Archambaud de Grailly, Jean's great-grandson, founded in turn the second line of the Comtes de Foix by marrying the heiress of the county. His descendants, as was customary, dropped the name and arms of Grailly to take those of Foix. Although they did not strictly speaking belong to Toulouse nobility, the Grailly of Aquitaine will be described here, as they are the immediate ancestors of the second dynasty of Comtes de Foix. Concerning their own ancestors in the Pays de Gex, there is little knowledge beyond a sketchy list of names with a few dates, due to the absence of surviving original documents[702]. However, it is known that they were Seigneurs de Grillly, Arbère, Sauverny {Ain, France}, Rolle, Ville-le-Grand, Arnex, Founex, Marnex, {Vaud, Switzerland}, with rights in various places such as Gingins, Coinsins {Vaud}. They were vassals of the Comtes de Genève for their possessions in the Pays de Gex, and of the Seigneurs de Prangins in Vaud[703]. The principal residence of the Grailly was Benauge[704].
Gurçon was a castle at Carsac-de-Gurçon {Dordogne}.
1. NANTELME [I] de Grailly (-after 1126). "Aymo dominus de Foucigniaco" donated property to the monastery of Sixt by charter dated 1126, witnessed by "…Nantelmus de Graillié milites"[705].
2. PIERRE de Grailly (-after [1213/15]). "Petrus de Grailie et filii eius Aymono et Johannes de Quinsim" granted rights to the Chartreuse d'Oujon by charter dated to [1213/15][706]. m ---. The name of Pierre's wife is not known. Pierre & his wife had two children: a) AIMON de Grailly . "Petrus de Grailie et filii eius Aymono et Johannes de Quinsim" granted rights to the Chartreuse d'Oujon by charter dated to [1213/15][707]. b) JEAN de Grailly "de Coinsons" . "Petrus de Grailie et filii eius Aymono et Johannes de Quinsim" granted rights to the Chartreuse d'Oujon by charter dated to [1213/15][708].
3. NANTELME de Grailly . m ---. The name of Nantelme's wife is not known. Nantelme & his wife had one child: a) JEAN de Grailly (-after 1245). "Johannes domicellus de Grelie, domini Nantelmi militis de Grelie quondam filius" confirmed a donation to the Chartreuse d'Oujon, for the souls of "patris mei et matris mee et specialiter…domine Beatricis, filie quondam domini Lodouici de Monz", by "dicta domina Beatrix" by charter dated 1245[709].
4. JEAN [I] de Grailly (- Grenade-sur-Garonne 1303, bur Uzeste {Gironde}). Seigneur de Grilly {Ain}, Ville-la-Grand {Haute-Savoie}, Rolle and Lavaux [olim Vallis de Lustriaco] {Vaud, Switzerland}. After visiting England about 1250, he settled in Aquitaine, where he became Vicomte de Castillon[-la Bataille] {Gironde} and Co-seigneur de Langon {Gironde} after Prince Edward of England (later King Edward I) had confiscated these places on the Bouville. Edward later gave him Benauge {now a ruined castle in Arbis, Gironde}, Illats {Gironde} and the salin de Bordeaux. Sénéchal de Gascogne 1266-1268 and again 1273-1286. Ambassador of Kings Henry III and Edward I to many European sovereigns. Sénéchal of Jérusalem and captain of the army of the French king in Syria 1272-1273. The Chronicle of Ramon Muntaner records that Edward I King of England sent "Jean d´Agrilli" to Barcelona to negotiate the marriage of his daughter to Alfonso III King of Aragon, dated to 1286[710]. Recteur du Comtat-Venaissin 1295-1298 (Papal states). The principal residence of the Grailly in Aquitaine was Benauge, rebuilt in 1267[711]. He testified on 6 Jun 1303[712]. [m firstly ---. If the 1299 reference to the marriage to Jean´s daughter Catherine is correct (see below), she must have been considerably younger than her supposed brother Pierre, which suggests that they must have been born from different marriages of their father. As Jean´s wife named Beatrice is recorded as his widow in 1303, it would be chronologically difficult for her to have been the mother of both children. It is therefore assumed that Pierre was born from an otherwise unrecorded first marriage of his father.] m [secondly] BEATRICE, daughter of ---. She is named in Jean de Grailly's testament of 1303[713]. Anselme and others conjectured that Clairmonde de Lamothe, daughter of Gaillard de Lamothe & his wife Isabelle de Landiras, was Jean [I]'s wife, to account for his wealth. Gardeau demonstrates[714] that Clairmonde was married in 1280 by Jean de Grailly to his nephew Jean Roussel de Saint-Symphorien. Jean [I] & his [first] wife had one child: a) PIERRE [I] de Grailly (-1290). He predeceased his father, who in his testament testament declares: "heredem suum Petrum de Geyliaco nepotem filium quondam domini Petri de Greyliaco filii dicti testatoris"[715]. As discussed in more detail above, the chronology suggests that Pierre was born from an otherwise unrecorded first marriage of his father. Sénéchal du Bazadais {around Bazas, Gironde} in 1287. Testified in Sep 1289. m firstly TALESE (Talesia) de Bouville, daughter of --- (-1285). She was a descendant of the former Vicomtes de Bénauges and Castillon. She testified in 1285 in Pays de Gex[716]. m secondly ROUGE d'Astarac, daughter of BERNARD [IV] Comte d´Astarac & his wife ---. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage but cites no source on which the information is based[717]. Pierre [I] & his first wife had [two] children: i) PIERRE [II] de Grailly (-1356). Seigneur de Grilly, Rolle, Ville-la-Grand, Vicomte de Castillon, Captal de Buch {pagus south of Arcachon, Gironde, name derived from Latin Boii, capital of the civitas Boiatium, later a part of Novempopulania}, de iure uxoris, chevalier de la Jarretière[718]. Edward II King of England wrote to “Arnaldi de Duro Forti militis” regarding his marriage to “Katerinam dominam de Sancta Basilica quondam uxorem Jordani de Insula” by charter dated 25 Feb 1326, and similarly to “Petro de Greylino vicecomiti Benangiarum et Castellionis”[719]. Edward III King of England wrote to “vicecomiti de Benaugiarum...Johanni de Greily” (as well as other nobles in Gascony) congratulating them on their loyalty and good work (“vestræ devotionis affectus...fidelium nostrorum testimonia, set effectus operis...”) by charter dated 25 Jul 1337[720]. Testified in 1356 and was already dead in 1357. m firstly (1 Sep 1307) as her second husband, ASSALIDE de Bordeaux Captalesse de Buch, widow of BERTRAND de l'Isle-Jourdain, daughter of --- de Bordeaux & his wife --- (-1328). She was heiress of her brother Pierre [VI] de Bordeaux (who was the first husband of Jeanne de Périgord, probable daughter of Hélie [IX] Comte de Périgord). Testified 2 Apr 1328[721]. m secondly (31 Dec 1328) as her second husband, EREMBOURG [Erimburgis] de Périgord, widow of JACQUES de La Vie, daughter of HELIE [IX] TALLEYRAND Comte de Périgord & his second wife Brunissende de Foix. She is not mentioned in her father's testament dated 8 Aug 1302[722], and the phrasing of the contract for her first marriage dated 13 Jun 1319 "Emborgem filiam bonae memoriae domini Heliae Taleyrandi comitis Petragoricensis…dicta Eremburgis cum dicto Jacobo…et quia in presenti propter defectum aetatis cujuslibet dictorum filiorum contrahi non poterat matrimonium inter eos" points to an unusually tender age[723]. She is often named Rosemburge in secondary sources but this appears unsupported by primary sources. Pierre [II] de Grailly and his first wife had two children: (a) JEAN [II] de Grailly (-1343). Edward III King of England wrote to “vicecomiti de Benaugiarum...Johanni de Greily” (as well as other nobles in Gascony) congratulating them on their loyalty and good work (“vestræ devotionis affectus...fidelium nostrorum testimonia, set effectus operis...”) by charter dated 25 Jul 1337[724].

She testified 7 Aug 1363[726]. Jean [II] de Grailly & his wife had two children: (1) JEAN [III] de Grailly (-after 2 Mar 1391). Captal de Buch, Connétable d'Aquitaine. His testament is dated to [1367/69], sole legatee: his uncle Archambaud de Grailly[727]. He is named in the 2 Mar 1390 (O.S.?) charter cited below under his paternal aunt Rogette. m (contract Nov 1350) ROSE d'Albret, daughter of BERNARD AIZ [V] Seigneur d'Albret & his second wife Mathe d'Armagnac (before Mar 1341-). The marriage contract of "madame Rousse d´Albret" and "messire Jehan captalz de Buchz" is dated Nov 1350 and confirms payment of her dowry by "monsieur Bernard Ezii son père"[728]. The receipt for payment of the dowry of "Rouse d´Albret, femme de Jehan de Grelly captal de Buchz" is dated 12 Feb 1359[729]. (2) GASTON de Grailly (-1362). Captal de Buch. He died of plague. (b) BRUNISENDE de Grailly . The marriage contract between “Bérard d’Albret fils ainé de Bérard d’Albret Sgr de Vayres et de Breteuil” and “Brunissens fille ainée de Pre de Greslly Vte de Benauges” is dated 20 Jun 1336[730]. m (contract Jun 1336, 14 Aug 1345) BERARD [II] d´Albret Seigneur de Rions, son of BERARD [I] d´Albret Seigneur de Vertheuil & his wife Guiraude de Gironde (-after 24 Dec 1374). Pierre [II] de Grailly and his second wife had two children: (c) ARCHAMBAUD de Grailly (-1413). He succeeded his nephew in 1369 as Seigneur de Grilly, de Rolle, de Ville-la-Grand, de Lavaux. Captal de Buch, Comte de Benauges, Lavaux et Longueville. (d) ROGETTE [Rogère/Rogerie] de Grailly (-after 2 Mar 1391). Her parentage and marriage are shown by Père Anselme (no source cited)[731]. The information is confirmed by the following documents. “Aimery de la Rochefoucauld chevalier seigneur de la Boissière et noble Jean Reginaldi damoiseau”, as proxies for “Aimery de la Roche seigneur de la Rochefoucauld”, acknowledged receipt from “seigneur le captal de Buch” of a sum owed “pour raison de la dot de dame Rogerie de Greily sa tante femme dudit seigneur de la Rochefoucauld”, by charter dated 1 Feb 1357 (O.S.?)[732]. [Her son] “Guy de la Rochefoucauld seigneur dudit lieu fils et héritier de...Aimery seigneur de la Rochefoucauld et de...Rogerie de Greilly sa femme” acknowledged receipt of “la dot promise en mariage à la dite dame Rogerie avec le dit feu Aimery ses père et mère” from “Jean de Greily captal de Buch vicomte de Benauges et de Castillon” by charter dated 2 Mar 1390 (O.S.?)[733]. m (before 1 Feb 1358) as his second wife, AIMERY [III] Seigneur de la Rochefoucauld, son of GUY [VII] Seigneur de la Rochefoucauld & his wife Agnes de Culant (-16 Sep 1362). ii) [CATHERINE de Grailly (-before 20 Jul 1333). A manuscript chronicle records the marriage in 1299 of "Jordanus de Insula" and "Catharinam filiam D. Joannis de Grailliaco militis" who appointed her as his heir[734]. If Catherine´s parentage is correct as stated in this source, she must have been considerably younger than her supposed brother Pierre [I], which would suggest that she was born from a different marriage. However, another source provides an alternative parentage for Catherine: a charter dated 20 Jul 1333 records that "messire P. de Grelly" requested the part of "Catherine sa sœur sur Saincte Bazeilhe et Landaron" from the seneschal d´Agenois[735]. This, read together with Catherine´s testament, in which she leaves this property to "messire P. de Grelly et Jehan son fils" (see below) indicates that she must have been the daughter of Pierre [I] de Grailly. Dame de Saint Bazeille: "Messire Jourdain de Lisle" donated "Saincte Bazeilhe et Landaron" to "dame Catherine de Grelly sa femme" by charter dated 7 Nov 1312[736]. Edward II King of England wrote to “Arnaldi de Duro Forti militis” regarding his marriage to “Katerinam dominam de Sancta Basilica quondam uxorem Jordani de Insula” by charter dated 25 Feb 1326, and similarly to “Petro de Greylino vicecomiti Benangiarum et Castellionis”[737]. The testament of "Catherine de Grelly", published 20 Jul 1333, appoints "messire P. de Grelly et Jehan son fils" as her heirs in "Saincte Bazeilhe et Landaron"[738]. m firstly (1299) JOURDAIN de l´Isle-Jourdain, son of JOURDAIN [V] Seigneur [Comte] de l´Isle-Jourdain & his wife Guillelme de Durfort (-1323). m secondly ([1326]) as his second wife, ARNAUD de Durfort Seigneur de Bajamont, son of --- & his wife Alpais du Bugat (-after 25 Feb 1326).] 5. daughter . m --- Roussel de Saint-Symphorien .

E. SEIGNEURS de MIREPOIX
It is likely that the following different family groups were all descended from the same source, probably the three brothers Roger, Raymond “Batalla” and Pierre Roger who are named below. The information in the surviving primary sources is insufficiently detailed to reconstruct the precise family relationships with any certainty beyond what is shown below.
As part of the arrangements to settle the hostilities in south-western France which followed the crusade against the Albigeois, formalised in the Treaty of Paris 1229, the seigneurie de Mirepoix was granted to Guy de Lévis, who had been principal lieutenant of the army of Simon de Montfort Earl of Leicester[740]. His family is set out in the document PARIS REGION NOBILITY.

1. --- . The identity of Bélisende´s husband has not been ascertained. He may have been Pierre Roger who is named above. The charter dated 23 Jan 1063, quoted above, confirms that Pierre Roger retained one third of Mirepoix after his two brothers granted their two thirds to the comital family of Carcassonne. If Pierre Roger continued to retain his third part of the castle, and died in [1084], it would be expected that his heir Arnaud would then swear homage for his inheritance. m BELISENDE, daughter of ---.

1. ROGER (-after 23 Aug 1103). Seigneur de Mirepoix. "Rogerius de Mirapex et uxor mea…Serena…cum filio nostro Bernardo" donated property to the abbey of Grasse by charter dated 23 Aug 1103, which states that the donor died on a journey to Jerusalem, the donation being confirmed later by "Serena post mortem viri mei…Bernardi filii mei cum filiis meis…Petro et Rogerio"[748]. m firstly ---. The wording of the charter dated 23 Aug 1103, quoted above, suggests that Pierre and Roger, sons of the donor, were not born from his marriage to Serena. Assuming it is correct, as suggested below, that Pierre son of Roger was the same person as Pierre Roger who is named in the charter dated to [1112], she may have been BELISENDE, daughter of ---: [her son] “Petrus Rodgarius filius Belissen” swore homage to “Bernard fil de Hermengard et suus filius Rogarius et Raymundus Trincavellus filius Sedilia” for “castello de Mirapeis” by charter dated to [1112] (see below for a discussion of the dating of this document)[749]. m secondly SERENA, daughter of ---. "Rogerius de Mirapex et uxor mea…Serena…cum filio nostro Bernardo" donated property to the abbey of Grasse by charter dated 23 Aug 1103, which states that the donor died on a journey to Jerusalem, the donation being confirmed later by "Serena post mortem viri mei…Bernardi filii mei cum filiis meis…Petro et Rogerio"[750].

It should be noted that the Histoire Générale de Languedoc dates this charter to [1112][753]. The individuals to whom homage was sworn were Bernard Aton [IV] Vicomte de Béziers (died 1129) and his sons Roger (died 1150) and Raymond “Trencavel” (died 1167). This suggests that the earlier date is more likely to be within the correct date range of the document. b) ROGER . "Rogerius de Mirapex et uxor mea…Serena…cum filio nostro Bernardo" donated property to the abbey of Grasse by charter dated 23 Aug 1103, which states that the donor died on a journey to Jerusalem, the donation being confirmed later by "Serena post mortem viri mei…Bernardi filii mei cum filiis meis…Petro et Rogerio"[754].

As suggested below, the order of all the names in this document suggests that her sons Guillaume Roger and Pierre Roger may have been the sons of Roger who was the father of Ava (and presumably of Arnaud Roger). Even though she has a masculine sounding name, all the references “filius de ---“ in the list refer to the mothers of the individuals in questions In addition, the second names of “Guillelmus Rogerii...et...Petrus Rogerii” are in the genitive case, which suggests that their father was named Roger.] Roger & his wife had two children: a) ARNAUD Roger (-after [1129]).
