The county of Beaumont-sur-Oise lay to the north of Paris, south of the county of Beauvais, east of the Vexin and west of the county of Valois, although its precise geographical boundaries are uncertain. Lépinois suggests that the county corresponded to the pagus Camliacensis [le Chambliois] and le pays de Thelle, which together became the ecclesiastical doyenné of Beaumont[1]. The first mention of a count of Beaumont-sur-Oise is dated to 1022, although it is not known when the county was formed. Douet-d’Arcq suggests that it represented a partition of the county of Beauvais, which was granted by Eudes II Comte de Blois to Roger Bishop of Beauvais in exchange for the county of Sancerre in [1013] not long before the appearance of the first comte de Beaumont in the primary sources[2]. Earlier charters dated between 627 and 861 name the pagus Camliacensis, and its main town Chambly, located in the southern part of the future county of Beaumont. Among these charters, “Theudaldus comes” donated property “sitas in pago Camliacense” to the abbey of Saint-Denis by charter dated 799[3].

Thibaut d'Ully Seigneur de Méru, a descendant of Hugues [I] Vicomte de Beaumont (see below), sold the county of Beaumont-sur-Oise to Philippe II King of France in 1223[4]. Philippe III “le Hardi” King of France granted the county to his son Louis by charter dated 1285[5].

The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified, but the fact that he is given the comital title in this document indicates that he must have been the oldest son and successor of Comte Ives [I]. The Necrologium Bellimontense records the death “IV Id Jan” of “Gaufredus comes”[18].

b) IVES [II] de Beaumont (-[22 May] [1083/91]). “Ivo...Belmontensis castri comes” donated property to la Trinité de Fécamp by charter dated to after 1027, subscribed by “Ivonis comitis, [J]osfredi filii eius, Ivonis clerici eius filii sui fratris, Alberici eius filii”[19].

Ives must have resigned his ecclesiastical appointments soon after the date of this charter, as the following sources do not mention his church positions and because the birth of his daughter can be estimated to [before 1045] (see below). "…Ivonis filii Ivonis comitis de Bello Monte…" witnessed a charter dated to [1042/44] under which "Guanilo thesaurarius Sancti Martini" donated property to Marmoutier[21]. "…Yvonis filii Yvonis comitis…" subscribed the charter dated to [1049/60] which records the agreement between the abbey of Monmajour and Chartres Notre-Dame[22]. Comte de Beaumont-sur-Oise. The identity of Ives [II] Comte de Beaumont as the son of Comte Ives [I] is confirmed by the undated charter under which “comes Matheus...laudantibus conjuge mea Aeles et liberis meis” [Mathieu [II] Comte de Beaumont] confirmed the exemption from navigation duties to the monks of Saint-Wandrille de Fontenelle granted by “Ivo comes cum filio suo simile nomine scilicet clerico et canonico, cui jure hereditario post discessus sui cursum castrum Confluencie tribuendo concessit, cum sua propria conjuge Emma...”[23]. "…Ivonis comitis Belli Montis…" subscribed the charter dated 1071 under which "Buccardus…Corbolensium comes" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Spire de Corbeil[24]. He founded Conflans Sainte-Honorine in 1080: “Ivo comes de Bellomonte et Adelhidis uxor eius” donated “ecclesia Sanctæ Honorinæ de Confluencio” to the monastery of Bec by charter dated 1080[25].

"Mainerium, fratrem Symonis de Monte Forti" donated property, with the consent of "Simone fratre eius comiteque Belli Montis Ivonis", by charter dated to before 1091, which also names "domnus Simon, filio suo Amalrico"[27]. The necrology of Beaumont Saint-Léonor records the death “XI Kal Jun” of “Iuo comes qui adstruxit ecclesiam Sancti Leonorii”[28]. m firstly JUDITH, daughter of ---. She is named as wife of Ives and mother of Adelise by Orderic Vitalis[29]. m secondly ADELAIS, daughter of --- (-8 Apr 1099). “Ivo comes de Bellomonte et Adelhidis uxor eius” donated “ecclesia Sanctæ Honorinæ de Confluencio” to the monastery of Bec by charter dated 1080[30]. The Chronicon Beccensis Abbatiæ records that "Yvo de Bellomonte comes uper Isarum et Adelidis uxor eius" donated "ecclesia B. Honorinæ de Confluentium” to Bec in 1082[31]. [Depoin says that Adelais “devait appartenir à la maison de Gournay”, citing the necrology of Beaumont-Saint-Léonor which records the death of Hugues de Gournay (“X Kal Nov...Hugo de Gornayo”[32]) and suggesting that Hugues, younger brother of Mathieu [I] Comte de Beaumont, was named after him[33]. However, there is no indication to which Hugues de Gournay this necrology entry relates, nor of the time when he lived. The idea is interesting, but the data on which the hypothesis rests is too imprecise to suggest that it is probable.] The Necrologium Bellimontense records the death “VI Id Apr” of “Adeledis comitissa Bellimontis”[34]. The year of her death is ascertained as follows. Depoin records that “la plus ancienne vie de saint Gautier, premier abbé de Saint-Martin de Pontoise” (he provides no precise citation reference for this source) records his death “le vendredi saint, et le même jour fut le dernier de la comtesse”[35]. The necrology of Pontoise Saint-Martin records the death “VI Id Apr” of “apud castrum Pontisariense...Sancti Galteri abbatis”[36], which coincides with the date of death of Adelais reported in the Necrologium Bellimontense. According to the calculations of Cheney, the only years in the mid- to late 11th and early 12th centuries when Goof Friday fell on 8 April were 1037, 1099 and 1110[37]. Of these, the second appears to be the only year which is possible from a chronological point of view. Ives [II] & his first wife had one child:

i) ADELISE de Beaumont ([before 1045]-Rouen 11 Jul 1091, bur Saint-Evroul). Orderic Vitalis records that “Hugo de Grentemaisnilio” married “Adelidem filiam Ivonis comitis de Bellomonte”[38]. Her birth date is estimated based on the estimated birth date of her oldest known son. She owned Peatling Magna, in the possession of Leofric in 1086 in Domesday Book[39]. Orderic Vitalis records the death “Rotomagi V Id Jul” of “Adeliza...Ivonis de Bellomonte comitis, de Judæa genetrice, filia”, wife of Hugues de Grantmesnil, seven years before her husband died and her burial at Ouche, adding that she and her husband has six sons and six daughters[40]. m ([before 1060][41]) HUGUES de Grantmesnil, son of ROBERT de Grantmesnil & his wife Hawise --- (-in England 22 Feb 1098, bur Saint-Evroul).

ii) [ADELA de Beaumont . A fragmentary chronicle of the dukes of Aquitaine names "Adellia…Yvonis filia comitis Bellimontis atque Adeliæ Comitissæ" as wife of “Willelmus…domini Philippi Franciæ Regis Camerarius” and mother of “Hugonem, Willelmum et Mahaudam”[42]. However, as further discussed in the document AQUITAINE DUKES, this source is spurious and is reliable. Until another source emerges which corroborates Adela’s origin and marriage, the information should be treated with caution. m GUILLAUME du Puy-du-Fou, son of RENAUD du Puy-du-Fou & his wife Helvise . It should be noted that, according to Europäische Stammtafeln[43], the parents of Guillaume were Galéran "Blanchard" de Senlis & his second wife Héloise de Pithiviers.]

iii) MATHIEU [I] de Beaumont ([1070/73]-1 Jan 1155). According to Père Anselme, Mathieu [I] Comte de Beaumont was the son of Ives [II] Comte de Beaumont and his second wife Adela[44]. Douet d’Arcq repeats the information, citing no other source[45]. No primary source has been identified which confirms that the affiliation is correct. However, the mention of Comte Mathieu [I] for the first time in [1090/91] suggests that it might be, assuming that he and his full siblings were born much later than their older half-sister. Comte de Beaumont. Orderic Vitalis records that "Matthæus comes de Bellomonte et Guillelmus de Guarenna" fought against Robert de Montgommery “de Bellême” who had attacked neighbouring lands, dated to [1090/91][46].

AUBRY (-before 1095). According to Europäische Stammtafeln[51], Aubry Seigneur de Coucy was the son of Ivo [II] Comte de Beaumont. The primary source on which this is based has not been identified, and no indication has been found that it is correct. The names Aubry and Foulques (son of Aubry) are not otherwise present in the family of the Comtes de Beaumont-sur-Oise and no indication has been found that Aubry held any property or position in that county. Until further information comes to light, it is suggested that this supposed connection should be treated with caution. Seigneur de Coucy 1058/77.

MATHIEU [I] de Beaumont, son of IVES [II] Comte de Beaumont & his second wife Adelais --- ([1070/73]-1 Jan 1155). According to Père Anselme, Mathieu [I] Comte de Beaumont was the son of Ives [II] Comte de Beaumont and his second wife Adela[54]. Douet d’Arcq repeats the information, citing no other source[55]. No primary source has been identified which confirms that the affiliation is correct. However, the mention of Comte Mathieu [I] for the first time in [1090/91] suggests that it might be, assuming that he and his full siblings were born much later than their older half-sister. His birth date is estimated based on this mention, but also bearing in mind the date of his death which suggests that it is unlikely that he was born much before [1070]. Comte de Beaumont. Orderic Vitalis records that "Matthæus comes de Bellomonte et Guillelmus de Guarenna" fought against Robert de Montgommery “de Bellême” who had attacked neighbouring lands, dated to [1090/91][56]. “...Matthæi comitis de Bello-monte...” subscribed the charter dated 1096 under which Etienne Comte d’Aumâle donated property to Beauvais Saint-Lucien[57].

This charter shows that Mathieu [I] resigned the countship in favour of his son before his death, presumably due to his old age. The necrology of the Priory of Saint-Martin-des-Champs records the death "IV Non Jan" of "Mathei comitis Bellomontis"[64]. The necrology of the abbey of Notre-Dame du Val records the death "Kal Jan" of "Matheus comes Bellimontis"[65].

The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis refers to a sister of "comes Rainaldus" as wife of "Matheus comes de Bello-monte, de qua genuit alterum Matheum comitem et fratrem eius et filias"[100]. "Mattheus comes, filius eius Matheus..." subscribed the charter dated 1136 which records an agreement between the priory of Saint-Leu d’Esserent and the inhabitants of the town regarding duties on wine[101]. Comte de Beaumont. "Mattheus comes Belli montis" exempted Saint-Leu d’Esserent from duties, with the consent of "Matheo comite patre meo et Hugone fratre meo et Mathilde comitissa uxore mea", by charter dated 1154[102]. “Matheus comes Bellimontis” granted exemption from passage duties through his county to Lannoy abbey, with the consent of “Aelidi comitissa uxore mea filiis quoque meis Matheo et Philippo”, by charter dated 1166[103]. “Mathei comitis, Mathei majoris et Mathei junioris et Philippi filiorum eius, Hugonis fratris eiusdem, Aelidis comitisse...” witnessed the charter dated [25 Mar 1170/25 Mar 1171] which records that “Ancoult d’Hénonville ecommunié” restored “la dîme de Nointel” to the monks of Nointel[104]. The Necrologium Bellimontense records the death “Kal Jul” of “Matheus II comes”[105]. The necrology of the abbey of Notre-Dame du Val records the death "Kal Jul" of "Matheus comes Bellimontis"[106]. The necrology of the Priory of Saint-Martin-des-Champs records the death "Kal Jul" of "Matheus comes Bellomontis"[107].

m firstly (before 1150) MATHILDE de Châteaudun, daughter of GEOFFROY [III] Vicomte de Châteaudun & his wife Heloise Dame de Mondoubleau (-[26/27] Jun [1154/56]). “Matheus comes Bellimontis” donated property to the Templars by charter dated 1152, with the consent of “Mathildi comitissa uxore Mathei comitis, cum liberis suis”[108]. The primary source which confirms her parentage has not been identified. "Mattheus comes Belli montis" exempted Saint-Leu d’Esserent from duties, with the consent of "Matheo comite patre meo et Hugone fratre meo et Mathilde comitissa uxore mea", by charter dated 1154[109]. "Matheus comes Bellimontis" noted the death "VI Kal Jul" of "Matildis comitissa uxor mea" and donated property to Hôtel-Dieu, Châteaudun for her soul by charter dated 1159[110]. The Necrologium Bellimontense records the death “V Kal Jul” of “Martildis comitissa”[111]. Mathilde’s death must be dated several years before 1159 as a charter dated 1160 names her husband’s second wife as well as their two sons. "Matheus comes Bellimontis" donated property to the chapelain de la Madeleine in the church of Saint-Léonor for the soul of "patris mei Mathei et Matildis matris mee" by charter dated 1 Jan/9 Apr 1189 or 1 Jan/25 Mar 1190[112]. "Matheus comes Bellimontes" confirmed the donation by "Philippus frater meus" to the abbey of Saint-Martin de Pontoise in memory of "Mathei patris mei et Mathildis matris mee fratrumque nostrorum Mathei et Johannis sororumque nostrarum quarum ultraque dicta fuit Aalildis" by charter dated 1195[113].

m secondly ([1154/57]) as her first husband, ALIX, daughter of --- ([before 1142?]-8 Jan, 1191 or after). No document has been found which confirms Alix’s family origin. There is also doubt about any fiefs she may have held in her own right. La Roque records Alix as “dame de la baronnie de la Queuë”[114], followed by Père Anselme (“dame de la Queuë”)[115], neither author citing the source on which the information is based. This place was La Queue-en-Brie, about five kilometres east of Créteil in the present-day French département of Val-de-Marne, arrondissement Créteil, canton Plateau briard, a fief which appears to have been an ancestral property of Alix’s second husband (see the 1165 charter of Amaury [I]’s father, which confirmed donations to Gournay Sainte-Marie including “decimas...apud Caudam...”). Modern secondary sources name Alix “dame de Luzarches”[116], which appears traceable to Douët d’Arcq who (doubting Anselme) says that “nous croirions...qu’elle sortait de la maison de Lusarches”, citing the 8 Nov 1190 charter quoted below[117]. However, Hahn’s mid-19th century Essai sur l’histoire de Luzarches records that the Beaumont-sur-Oise family’s interest in Luzarches (located about 10 kilometres east of Beaumont-sur-Oise, in the present-day French département of Val-d’Oise, arrondissement Sarcelles, canton Fosses) followed the marriage of Mathieu [I] and Béatrix de Clermont[118]. After the death of Alix’s sons by her first marriage, Luzarches passed to her first husband’s cousin, which presumably would not have happened if Alix had been “dame de Luzarches” in her own right. The working hypothesis is therefore that Alix’s first husband’s interest in Luzarches was inherited from his own family and was not held de iure uxoris, although maybe Alix received Luzarches as dower after her first husband died. The date of her marriage is estimated from the death of her first husband’s first wife, but bearing in mind the date of the following document which records her two sons. Given their births, it is unlikely that Alix was born much later than 1142. “Matheus comes Bellimontis” donated property to the monks of Saint-Léonor, with the consent of “Mathei filii sui primogeniti, ceterorumque filiorum eius, Philippi, Mathei atque Johannis” and the support of “Aelide comitissa”, by charter dated 1160[119]. “Matheus comes Bellimontis” granted exemption from passage duties through his county to Lannoy abbey, with the consent of “Aelidi comitissa uxore mea filiis quoque meis Matheo et Philippo”, by charter dated 1166[120]. “Mathei comitis, Mathei majoris et Mathei junioris et Philippi filiorum eius, Hugonis fratris eiusdem, Aelidis comitisse...” witnessed the charter dated [25 Mar 1170/25 Mar 1171] which records that “Ancoult d’Hénonville ecommunié” restored “la dîme de Nointel” to the monks of Nointel[121]. She married secondly ([1174/Dec 1181]) Amaury [I] de Meulan Seigneur de Gournay-sur-Marne. “Amalricus de Gornaio” donated harvest to Gournay Sainte-Marie, the charter placed on the altar by “Agnes comitissa mater eius et Rogerus frater ipsius Amalrici et Aales uxor eius in cuius dote redditus istius annone hebebatur”, by undated charter (dated to before Dec 1181, when Amaury’s mother died)[122]. Her second marriage is indicated by the following document: "Adeleidis comitissa quondam de Bellomonte nunc autem de Gornaio domina" donated property to Sainte-Marie de Gournay by charter dated [1186/87], witnessed by "Matheus et Johannes filii predicte comitisse"[123]. "Aales comitissa de Lusarchies" donated property to the priory of Saint-Léonor for the anniversary of "Matheus filius meus defunctus", with the consent of "Matheo comite Bellimontis et Johanne fratribus suis", by charter dated 8 Nov 1190[124]. The Necrologium Bellimontense records the death “VI Id Jan” of “Aales mater Johannis comitis Bellimontis”[125].

Mathieu [II] & his first wife had four children:

1. HUGUES de Beaumont (-15 Jul [1154/60]). The Necrologium Bellimontense records the death “Id Jul” of “Hugo frater M comitis, Agnes soror eius”[126]. 1154.

The Chronicon Hanoniense names "Aenoram Radulphi comitis Viromandie filiam" as wife of "Godefridum [filium Alidis comitissa Hanonensis…cum viro Balduino comite]", and in a later passage refers to her subsequent marriages to "Willelmo comiti Nivernensi…[et] Matheo comiti Boloniensi…[et] comiti Bellimontis in Francia Matheo"[138].

7. ALIX de Beaumont (-4 Dec before 1186). "Matheus comes Bellimontis et dominus Valesie" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Martin de Pontoise with the consent of "Elienoris comitisse uxoris sue filie Radulphi comitis Perone" for the souls of "Aelidis sororis mee et…fratrum suorum Philepi, Mathei, Johannis" by charter dated 1176[165].

8. JEAN de Beaumont (after 1160-15 Jun 1222). "Matheus comes Bellimontis et dominus Valesie" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Martin de Pontoise with the consent of "Elienoris comitisse uxoris sue filie Radulphi comitis Perone" for the souls of "Aelidis sororis mee et…fratrum suorum Philepi, Mathei, Johannis" by charter dated 1176[169]. "Adeleidis comitissa quondam de Bellomonte nunc autem de Gornaio domina" donated property to the church of St Marie de Gournay by charter dated [1186/87], witnessed by "Matheus et Johannes filii predicte comitisse"[170]. Seigneur de Luzarches 1198. He succeeded his half-brother as Comte de Beaumont in 1209. "Johannes comes Bellimontis" donated property "vineam meam de Prato, apud Joiacum…" to Val-Notre-Dame by charter dated 1221[171]. "Johannes comes Bellimontis" exchanged property with Saint-Léonor “Elizabeth uxoris mee et Guillelmi et Radulphi fratrum meorum”, by charter dated Mar 1222 (N.S.?)[172]. “Les héritiers de Jean de Beaumont: 1. Gui, Hugues, Raoul et Adam d’Andelli; 2. Jean et Thibaud de la Boissière; 3. Thibaud d’Ulli” relinquished their rights in his succession in favour of the king by charter dated [15 Mar/22 Apr] 1223[173]. m firstly (before 1193, annulled) GERTRUDE de Soissons, daughter of RAOUL [I] Comte de Soissons & his first wife Alix de Dreux [Capet] (-[26 Sep 1220/Oct 1222]). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "uxorem comitis Iohannis Bellimontis…et uxorem Stephani de Sancerra" as the two daughters of "Alaydis [filia comitem de Brana Robertum domnum]" & her fourth husband, specifying that "Matheus de Montinorenci" had children by the former[174]. She married secondly (1193) as his first wife, Mathieu [II] "le Grand" Seigneur de Montmorency. The necrology of the abbey of Notre-Dame du Val records the death "VI Kal Oct" of "Geltrudis domina de Montemorenciaco"[175]. m secondly (before 1214) JEANNE de Garlande, daughter of GUILLAUME [IV] Seigneur de Garlande & his wife Adela de Châtillon-sur-Marne (-19 Nov [1222]). "Johannis comitis Bellimontis" placed the monks of Acy in possession of property at the request of his wife Jeanne by charter dated Apr 1217[176]. Her parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 1217 under which “Johannes comes Bellimontis” agreed the succession of “domino Guillelmo de Gallandia” with “Henricus comes Grandiprati…et Guidonem buticularium”, which states that he had married the deceased’s oldest daughter and the other two his second and third daughters respectively[177]. "Johannis comes Bellimontis" confirmed a donation by "Johanna comitissa uxor mea" to Notre-Dame de Gournay by charter dated [1 Jan/29 Mar to 29 Nov 1220], on the reverse of which is added "III Kal Dec ob Johanna comitissa Bellimontis"[178]. The Necrologium Bellimontense records the death “III Kal Dec” of “Johanna comitissa Bellimontis”[179]. "Comitem et comitissam de Grandiprato" agreed not to challenge a legacy to Notre-Dame de Gournay made by “Johanna...quondam comitissa Bellimontis” by charter dated Feb 1222 (O.S.)[180].

9. ALIX de Beaumont (-before 1195). The existence of two sisters of Mathieu [II] named Alix is confirmed by the following document: "Matheus comes Bellimontes" confirmed the donation by "Philippus frater meus" to the abbey of Saint-Martin de Pontoise in memory of "Mathei patris mei et Mathildis matris mee fratrumque nostrorum Mathei et Johannis sororumque nostrarum quarum ultraque dicta fuit Aalildis" by charter dated 1195[181]. It is not known whether both sisters were born from the same marriage. However, all Mathieu [II]’s other known siblings named in the document were born from his father’s second marriage, suggesting that this was also probably the case of his second sister named Alix.

B. VICOMTES de BEAUMONT

1. GELDUIN (-after 1039). Vicomte [de Beaumont]. "Comes Ivo cum filio meo simili nomine…clerico et canonico…cum mea propria conjuge Emma et ceteris omnibus meis liberis" donated "castrum Confluentie" to Saint-Wandrigisel by charter dated 1039, signed by "Ivo…comes…Ivo clericus…comes Goffredus, Albericus, Gelduini vicecomitis…Odonis filii supradicti comitis, Gosberti fratris eiusdem Odonis"[182].

Two brothers:

1. GARNIER (-after 1110). Vicomte [de Beaumont]. Avocat of Bernes: “Milites: Garnerus vicecomes et advocatus predicte terre, Galterus frater eius...” subscribed the charter dated 1110 under which “Matheus comes et uxor mea Beatrilidis cum filiis meis Ivone et Matheo” granted freedoms to the men of Bernes at the request of the canons of Saint-Germain-l’Auxerrois de Paris[183].

2. GAUTHIER (-after 1110). “Milites: Garnerus vicecomes et advocatus predicte terre, Galterus frater eius...” subscribed the charter dated 1110 under which “Matheus comes et uxor mea Beatrilidis cum filiis meis Ivone et Matheo” granted freedoms to the men of Bernes at the request of the canons of Saint-Germain-l’Auxerrois de Paris[184].

C. SEIGNEURS de CHAMBLY (HIDEUS)

Chambly is located north-west of Beaumont-sur-Oise. The Chambly family was studied in the early 20th century by Jacques Depoin. He comments on the paucity of earlier studies relating to this family[185]. However, his own work is disappointing. In numerous cases, he posits relationships without citing supporting source documentation, for example in linking the three persons named below as Pierre [II], [III] and [IV] de Chambly, father to son, for which (although it may be correct) the primary source basis appears sketchy. It should be noted that Depoin does not mention the person named below as Pierre [I], so the numbering of the different individuals named Pierre de Chambly is different in his article from what is shown below. Successful reconstruction of this family is hampered by this repeated use of the name Pierre. While eight different individuals of this name are identified below in what appears to be the main line of descent, it is difficult to assess when the career of one of them ends and his successor’s starts. Few of the sources which have been found specify family relationships.

1. PIERRE [I] de Chambly (-after 1152). “…famuli: Petrus, major Cambliaci…” witnessed the charter dated 1152 under which “Matheus comes Bellimontis” donated a house in Paris to the Knights Templars[186].

2. PHILIPPE [I] Hideus (-after 1160). “…Philippus Hideus…” witnessed the charter dated 1160 under which “Matheus comes Bellimontis” donated property to Saint-Léonor de Beaumont[187].

3. PIERRE [II] Hideus de Chambly (-after 1177). It is not known whether Pierre [II] was the same person as Pierre [I]. From a chronological point of view, this co-identity appears possible. “Petrus Horridus…” witnessed the charter dated 1163 under which “Matheus Bellimontis comes” granted transport toll exemptions to Beaupré abbey[188]. “…Petrus Hispidus, Fromundus major de Chambli…” witnessed the charter dated 1165 under which “Matheus comes de Bellomonte” settled a dispute between the abbey of Val and "Heimarum de Amblevilla filiosque eius"[189]. “…Petrus Hispidus, prepositus meus, Fromundus de Ihambli, major meus, et Gislebertus de Monasteriis, frater ipsius…Petrus Hispidus, Lambertus tunc prepositus, Fromundus…” witnessed the charter dated 1166 under which “Matheus comes de Bellomonte” guaranteed a donation to the abbey of Val[190]. This document is the only one so far identified in which Pierre Hideus is named "prepositus". The second list of witnesses in the charter suggests that "Lambertus" may have been omitted from the first list and therefore that Pierre Hideus was not in fact "prepositus". “…Petrus Hisdesus…” witnessed the charter dated 1177 under which “Matheus comes Bellimontis…” exchanged property with Saint-Martin de Pontoise[191].

1. PIERRE [III] le Hideux de Chambly (-after Apr 1228). “…Petro Hisdus” witnessed the charter dated 1194 under which “Matheus comes Bellimontis” confirmed donations to the abbey of Val[192]. “…Petrus Hisdeus de Chambli…” witnessed the charter dated 1194 under which “Matheus comes Bellimontis” guaranteed a donation to Beaupré abbey[193]. “…Petrus le Hisdous de Chambli…” witnessed the charter dated 1206 under which “Hugo de Bellomonte” noted the settlement of a dispute with Beaupré abbey[194]. A manuscript list of feeholders in the county of Beaumont-sur-Oise during the reign of King Philippe II includes “Petrus Hideus...Petrus Hideus de Chambli” and the statement that “Petrus Hideus” was “homoligius de feodo Baldoini de Bellovidere”[195]. Depoin concludes that the two individuals named were Pierre [III] and Pierre [IV][196]. He suggests that it was Pierre [III] who was “homoligius de feodo Baldoini de Bellovidere”, which appears to be corroborated by the charter dated Oct 1275 under which King Philippe III repurchased from “Petrus de Chambeliaco…cambellanus…noster” various revenues from Beaumont and Méru, including the right to revenue bought by “defunctus Petrus quondam avus suus” from “Baldoino de Bellovidere”[197]. This hypothesis assumes that “Petrus de Chambeliaco…cambellanus…noster” in that document was Pierre [V]. If on the other hand it was Pierre [VI], it would be Pierre [IV] who was “homoligius de feodo Baldoini de Bellovidere”. [m GILA, daughter of ---. Depoin refers to “une mention nécrologique” (no citation) relating to a donation made by “Herbert doyen de Senlis” which names his parents “Pierre Hideux et Gila” and his brother “Pierre Hideux le Jeune”[198]. He speculates that Herbert was born in [1165/80] “d’après le temps où il fut en charge” and concludes that he was the son of the person named Pierre [II] in the present document. However, from the dates of the documents in which Herbert is named (see below), it is likely that he was born much later: he could still have been a young man when named in 1225. If that is correct, Gila was probably the wife of Pierre [III].] Pierre [III] & his wife had [two] children:

a) PIERRE [IV] [de Chambly] (-after [Apr 1228]). Depoin refers to “une mention nécrologique” (no citation) relating to a donation made by “Herbert doyen de Senlis” which names his parents “Pierre Hideux et Gila” and his brother “Pierre Hideux le Jeune”[199]. As noted above, it appears more likely from a chronological point of view that this document refers to the sons of Pierre [III]. A manuscript list of feeholders in the county of Beaumont-sur-Oise during the reign of King Philippe II includes “Petrus Hideus...Petrus Hideus de Chambli” and the statement that “Petrus Hideus” was “homoligius de feodo Baldoini de Bellovidere”[200].

Depoin refers to “une mention nécrologique” (no citation) relating to a donation made by “Herbert doyen de Senlis” which names his parents “Pierre Hideux et Gila” and his brother “Pierre Hideux le Jeune”, in a later passage adding that Herbert was canon at Senlis during the bishopric of Guérin (from 1214 to 1227), named as such in charters dated Apr and Nov 1225, and was appointed “doyen” under Bishop Adam de Chambly (1227-1259), donating property at Tarantafosse to Chaalis as such[208]. A search for this person in Gallia Christiana has not been successful.]

As noted above, there is no indication whether this charter refers to Pierre [IV] or Pierre [V].] Chamberlain of Louis IX King of France. “Guillelmus de Bellomonte, Francie marescallus” guaranteed to Louis IX King of France a debt owed to “domino Petro cambellano” by charter dated Jun 1250[211]. A charter dated Apr 1262 records the sale of property by “Johannes filius quondam domini Johannes de Bellomonte, Francie camerarii”, naming “Petri cambellani…domini regis Francie”[212].

Pierre [VII] & his wife had [five] children:

i) PIERRE de Chambly . “Jeanne dame de Viarmes femme jadis de noble homme Pierre de Chambli seigneur de ce lieu et Pierre de Chambli à present seigneur de Viarmes fils du dit trépassé et de la dite dame chevalier” committed to paying annual revenue from the toll at Choisy to the chapter of Beauvais by charter dated 1309[238]. A charter of King Philippe IV dated Mar 1309 names “nostre...chevalier et chambellan Pierre de Chambli seigneur de Wiermes fil et hoir dudit trespassé”[239]. An arrêt of Parliament dated 1319 relates to litigation by “Ysabellis de Burgundia vidua Petri de Chambliaco iunioris domini de Nealpha filii Petri de Chambliaco militis domini de Chambliaco et de Parcenc, mater Ludovici et Ioanne de Chambliaco” against “Petrum de Chambliaco militem filium domini de Wirmes et Ioannæ matris suæ”[240].

v) [JEANNE de Chambly (-[after 1371]). Dame de Montgobert. Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage, noting that she was still living in 1371 (no sources cited)[245], although this date seems late if her parentage is recorded correctly. Maybe the date was a mistake for 1321, the date of death of her husband according to Père Anselme. Her absence from the Nov 1326 arbitration settlement, quoted above, would be explained by her already being married. m RAOUL de Clermont Seigneur de Thorigny, son of GUY [I] de Clermont dit de Nesle & his wife Marguerite de Thourotte Dame d’Offémont et de Thourotte (-1321).]

Pierre [VI] & his second wife had one child:

b) PIERRE [VIII] "le Jeune" de Chambly (-1319). There appears to be some difficulty over the date of birth of Pierre [VIII]. His parents’ marriage is dated to [1294]. However, Depoin records that his son Louis was of age in 1323 when King Charles IV confirmed the exchange of land at Torigny for Chambly[246]. It therefore appears probable that Pierre [VIII] was born before his parents’ marriage. A charter dated May 1297 records royal grants to “les enfans nez et à naistre de Isabeau de Roony, engendrez et à engendrer de Pierre seigneur de Chambly”[247]. Chamberlain of Louis X King of France. Seigneur de Neaufle-le-Château. m ISABELLE de Bourgogne, daughter of JEAN de Bourgogne Seigneur de Montaigu [Bourgogne-Comté] & his wife Marguerite de Blâmont (-Chambly Aug 1323, bur Paris église des Grands Augustins). According to Du Chesne, “Pierre de Chambly le jeune seigneur de Chambly” married Isabelle, daughter of Hugues IV Duke of Burgundy, who was the widow of Rudolf I King of Germany[248]. This statement is proved incorrect: her parentage and marriage are confirmed by a document dated May 1321 which records that “Pierre de Chambli seigneur de Neaufle fils de Pierre seigneur de Chambli” had married “Isabeau fille de Jean de Bourgogne fils de Hugues de Vienne et d’Alis de Méranie comtesse palatine de Bourgogne” and that Isabelle “sœur de Henri de Bourgogne fils du susdit Jean” was present when the latter reached agreement with Jeanne Queen of France regarding “le château de Montrond près de Besançon”[249]. An arrêt of Parliament dated 1319 relates to litigation by “Ysabellis de Burgundia vidua Petri de Chambliaco iunioris domini de Nealpha filii Petri de Chambliaco militis domini de Chambliaco et de Parcenc, mater Ludovici et Ioanne de Chambliaco” against “Petrum de Chambliaco militem filium domini de Wirmes et Ioannæ matris suæ”[250]. An epitaph of the church of the Augustins in Paris records the death in 1323 of “Ysabeau de Bourgongne Dame de Neaufle, femme de Monsieur Pierre de Chambelye le jeune seigneur de Neaufle”[251]. Pierre [VIII] & his wife had two children:

i) LOUIS de Chambly (-1341). An arrêt of Parliament dated 1319 relates to litigation by “Ysabellis de Burgundia vidua Petri de Chambliaco iunioris domini de Nealpha filii Petri de Chambliaco militis domini de Chambliaco et de Parcenc, mater Ludovici et Ioanne de Chambliaco” against “Petrum de Chambliaco militem filium domini de Wirmes et Ioannæ matris suæ”[252]. King Charles IV confirmed the exchange of land at Torigny for Chambly with Louis by charter dated 1323[253].

ii) JEANNE de Chambly (-[Nov/Dec] 1359). An arrêt of Parliament dated 1319 relates to litigation by “Ysabellis de Burgundia vidua Petri de Chambliaco iunioris domini de Nealpha filii Petri de Chambliaco militis domini de Chambliaco et de Parcenc, mater Ludovici et Ioanne de Chambliaco” against “Petrum de Chambliaco militem filium domini de Wirmes et Ioannæ matris suæ”[254]. Dame de Neaufle-le-Château. m firstly PHILIPPE de Vienne Seigneur de Pagny, son of JEAN de Vienne Seigneur de Pagny et de Neublans & his wife Comtesse de Neublans Dame de Neublans (-1353). m secondly ([1355]) as his second wife, JEAN de Vergy Seigneur de Mirebeau et de Bourbonne, son of GUILLAUME de Vergy Seigneur de Mirebeau & his first wife Isabelle de Choiseul (-[1370]).

The relationship between the following persons and the main Chambly family has not been established.

1. JEAN de Chambly dit de Haze (-[1374/76]). m as her first husband, JEANNE de la Roche-Guyon Dame de Vaux, daughter of PHILIPPE de la Roche-Guyon Seigneur de Bernicourt & his wife Marguerite de Laval (-before 1403). Père Anselme records her parentage and two marriages[255]. She married secondly (Papal dispensation before 1377) Guy Seigneur de la Roche-Guyon. Jean & his wife had one child:

a) JACQUELINE de Chambly (-after 7 Sep 1403). Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage, adding in a later passage she was the ward of her stepfather who was ordered 7 Sep 1403 to transfer one-third of his wife’s assets in the Vexin to Jacqueline[256]. m JEAN de Linières Seigneur de Rezé, son of ---.

2. TRISTAN de Chambly (-before 1389). Seigneur de Viarmes. m JEANNE de Trie, daughter of (-before 14 May 1389). She is named as deceased in the 14 May 1389 charter cited below. Tristan & his wife had one child:

a) CHARLES de Chambly . A charter dated 14 May 1389 notified a sale of revenue, held “de sa mère défunte Jeanne de Trie…son mari Tristan de Chambly chevalier et seigneur de Viarmes”, by “Charles de Chambly chambellan du roi seigneur de Livry-en-Launoy” to Charles VI King of France[257].

D. CHÂTELAINS de CONFLANS

Conflans Sainte-Honorine is located in the canton of Poissy, now in the north-western suburbs of Paris.

1. IVES [I] (-after 981). “Hugonis Francorum ducis…Ivonis…” witnessed the charter dated 968 under which Richard I Duke of Normandy donated property to the abbey of Saint-Denis[258]. The Gesta abbatum Fontanellensium includes an extract from a charter, dated to the 10th century, under which “Ivo” granted exemptions from navigation duties on the Seine “secus Conflendis castrum” to “sanctis...Wandregisili atque Ansberto simulque Wlfranno” venerated at Fontanelle[259]. [Richer records that “Ivo” was selected by Hugues Duc des Francs to avenge the insult when one of the leaders of the German army of Emperor Otto II struck his lance against the door of the bridge of la Cité when it was camped on the right bank of the Seine at Paris, dated to 978[260]. Depoin identifies “Ivo” as Ives Seigneur de Conflans[261].] “Womarus abbas” [abbot of Blandin Saint-Pierre] granted “terram...in comitatu Pinciacensi in villa Alpico...super fluvium Sequane” {Pecq} to “Ivo...et uxori eius atque infantibus suis” by charter confirmed by King Lothaire 979[262]. "Hugo comes et dux Francorum" confirmed that "Yvonem fidelem nostrum et venerabilem coniugem eius Geilam" had relinquished property at Chavigny en Vermandois to Homblières, retaining the usufruct, with the consent of "Yvonis patris et Yvonis filii uxoremque eorum", by charter dated 981[263]. m as her second husband, GEILA, widow of FOUCHARD Châtelain de Ham, daughter of ---. Her first marriage is confirmed by the Vita of Gilbert Bishop of Meaux names his mother “Geila” and adds that he had a brother “Ives”[264]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Geila was the mother of Gilbert Bishop of Meaux (who died 13 Nov 1009) by her first marriage[265]. "Hugo comes et dux Francorum" confirmed that "Yvonem fidelem nostrum et venerabilem coniugem eius Geilam" had relinquished property at Chavigny en Vermandois to Homblières, with the consent of "Yvonis patris et Yvonis filii uxoremque eorum", by charter dated 981[266]. Depoin suggests that Geila was the daughter of Albert Comte de Vermandois[267]. He bases this on a list of members of the Cathedral of Paris (in order) "Albertus comes, Girberga comitissa, Harbertus, Otto, Lewultus, Girbertus, Gondrada, Ricardus, Harbertus comes, Walerannus laicus, Gisla…", the first four individuals named apparently being Albert Comte de Vermandois, his wife and three sons, and the last named maybe his brother or nephew[268]. Depoin suggests that the relationship is corroborated by the suggested consanguinity between Mathieu [III] Comte de Beaumont and his first wife Eléonore de Nesle-Soissons, supposedly descended from Héribert [IV] Comte de Vermandois, but this supposed descent does not appear to be correct[269]. Ivo & his wife had one child:

a) IVES [II] . "Hugo comes et dux Francorum" confirmed that "Yvonem fidelem nostrum et venerabilem coniugem eius Geilam" had relinquished property at Chavigny en Vermandois to Homblières, with the consent of "Yvonis patris et Yvonis filii uxoremque eorum", by charter dated 981[270]. Depoin suggests that Ives was the same person as Ives [I] Comte de Beaumont, who founded Beaumont Saint-Léonor, dated to 1029 (see Part A of this chapter)[271]. However, the chronology appears impossible if it is correct that Comte Ives [I] died in 1059. There remains the possibility that this Ives was the father of Comte Ives [I]. m (before 981) ---. His marriage is confirmed by the reference to the wives of Ives, father and son, in the charter dated 981 quoted above.

1. EUDES [I] de Conflans (-before 1060). An undated charter records the consent of "Odo de Conflantio et Drogo filius eius" to the donation of "decima de Morlencourte et in ecclesia eiusdem villæ" to Saint-Martin-de-Pontoise by "Droco de Populiaco vel Wuiriaco et Mathildis uxor eius"[272]. m ---.

Châtelain de Conflans. "Droco de Cuflante castro, intra Sequanam fluvium sito" donated property "in Loconis Villa" to Liancourt priory “manu domni mei Walterii comitis” [Gauthier [III] Comte de Mantes] by charter dated 1060[274]. The Liber translationis et miraculorum B. Honorinæ records that “hujus castri [=Conflans] vir nobilis Drogo” released prisoners after the intercession of Sainte Honorine, dated to [1081][275]. m ---. The name of Dreux’s wife is not known. Dreux [I] & his wife had four children:

i) GUYARD de Conflans (-[1098/1102]). "Wiardus filius Drogonis de Coflente" exchanged property with Liancourt priory by charter dated 15 Oct 1098, subscribed by “Otmundo ipsius castri [=Calvum Montem] domino, Roberto fratre eius, et Watho de Pissiaco...”[276].

ii) THIBAUT de Conflans (-after 1156). A fragment of a charter of Pontoise Saint-Martin names "Theobaudus filius Drogonis de Conflantio, uxor eius Adelaida et filii sui Albericus et Stephanus, filiæque sui Ada et Richildis et Mabilia"[277]. [Châtelain] de Conflans.

iii) RORIC de Conflans . “Tetbaldus de Confluentio et Ruricus et Albericus fratres eius...” witnessed a charter of Sainte Honorine, dated to the late 11th/early 12th century[278]. “Ivo de Confluentio et duo filii eius Drogo et Walterus et Tetbaldus de Confluentio et duo fratres eius Rurichus et Albericus...” witnessed the undated charter under which “Wililemus de Helcincourt et Haisa uxor eius” donated property to Sainte Honorine[279].

iv) AUBRY de Conflans . “Tetbaldus de Confluentio et Ruricus et Albericus fratres eius...” witnessed a charter of Sainte Honorine, dated to the late 11th/early 12th century[280]. “Ivo de Confluentio et duo filii eius Drogo et Walterus et Tetbaldus de Confluentio et duo fratres eius Rurichus et Albericus...” witnessed the undated charter under which “Wililemus de Helcincourt et Haisa uxor eius” donated property to Sainte Honorine[281].

b) [MILON de Conflans . An undated charter records the consent of "Odo de Conflantio et Drogo filius eius" to the donation of "decima de Morlencourte et in ecclesia eiusdem villæ" to Saint-Martin-de-Pontoise by "Droco de Populiaco vel Wuiriaco et Mathildis uxor eius", the later confirmation by his son Dreux being witnessed by “Radulpho Delicato, Milone de Conflantio, Hugone Malefiliastro...”[282]. It is not known whether Milon was related to the donors or was a knight who took his name from the castle. "Milone de Conflantio...cum uxore sua et filio...Odone" confirmed the donation made by "Huboudus clericus filii Rogerii de Gisetio" to Saint-Martin-de-Pontoise by undated charter which also records that “post mortem Milonis de Conflantio” his donation was siezed by “Johannes de Maigniaco”[283].] m ---. The name of Milon’s wife is not known. Milon & his wife had one child:

i) EUDES [II] de Conflans . "Milone de Conflantio...cum uxore sua et filio...Odone" confirmed the donation made by "Huboudus clericus filii Rogerii de Gisetio" to Saint-Martin-de-Pontoise by undated charter which also records that “post mortem Milonis de Conflantio” his donation was seized by “Johannes de Maigniaco” and became the subject of a settlement between the parties[284].

E. CHÂTELAINS de GISORS

Gisors is located south-west of Beauvais, on the frontier with the duchy of Normandy, and was the site through which merchandise was traded between the duchy and the French kingdom and where the fortified town was constructed to protect this trade. William II “Rufus” King of England built a castle in the same area in the last years of the 11th century and installed Payen as châtelain.

1. GEOFFROY “Le Riche” (-after [1085]). Duchesne suggests that he was Geoffroy de Montmorency, son of [Bouchard [II] Seigneur de Montmorency & his wife ---][349]. The naming of his son Hervé, a name typical of the Montmorency family, suggests that this may be correct. "Dominum Godefridum eiusque uxorem ac eorum decentem prolem" donated “ecclesiam villæ...Turris” to the abbey of Saint-Martin de Pontoise by charter dated to [1085] witnessed by "Hervicus, Walterius, Amalricus..."[350]. m RICHILDE, daughter of ---. "Theobaudus de Gisortio" confirmed donations to Saint-Martin de Pontoise made by "Theobaldus, Pagani de Gisors et nobilis matronæ Mathildis filius...Godefridus Dives et Richildis uxor eius...Paganus de Gisortio uxorque eius Mathildis...Hugo filius Pagani mortuus sepelitur in æde S Martini, Mathildis eius relicta et Theobaudus frater..." by charter dated to [1149][351]. Geoffroy & his wife had [two] children:

a) HERVE . "...Gaufrido de Caluomonte, Herveio de Marleio, Herveo filio Godefridi Divitis" witnessed the undated charter under which "Gasfridus Nivardi filius" donated "ecclesiam de Mansionibus" to Coulombs[352].

b) [MATHILDE (-after [1110/24]). Duchesne indicates that “Thibaud surnommé Payen”, the husband of Mathilde, was the son of Geoffroy “le Riche” and his wife Richilde[353]. Duchesne quotes an undated charter which confirms that her son was the grandson of Geoffroy “le Riche”: “Theobaudus Pagani de Gisorz et nobilis matrona Mathildis filius” confirmed donations to Pontoise Saint-Martin made by “avus eius Godefridus Dives et uxor eius Richildis”[354]. The fact that Mathilde’s husband is called “de Gisors” in these charters, an epithet which was not applied to Geoffroy “le Riche”, suggests that it may have been Mathilde herself who was the daughter of Geoffroy “le Riche”, although no primary source has yet been identified which confirms beyond all doubt that this hypothesis is correct. "Hugo vicecomes de Calvomonte...Paganus de Gisortio et uxor eius Mathilde et filii eorum Hugo et Hervæus et Richildis et Idonea sorores eorum" consented to the donation by "Hubertus Bucellus moriens" to Saint-Martin-de-Pontoise by charter dated to [1110/24][355]. "Theobaudus de Gisortio" confirmed donations to Saint-Martin de Pontoise made by "Theobaldus, Pagani de Gisors et nobilis matronæ Mathildis filius...Godefridus Dives et Richildis uxor eius...Paganus de Gisortio uxorque eius Mathildis...Hugo filius Pagani mortuus sepelitur in æde S Martini, Mathildis eius relicta et Theobaudus frater..." by charter dated to [1149][356]. m PAYEN de Gisors, son of --- (-after [1110/24]).]

Depoin suggests that Thibaut, son of Hugues [I] shown below, was the same person as Payen de Gisors who is shown in the succeeding family group[357]. Assuming the correct dating of the 1066 charter, in which Hugues [I] and his four sons are named, this is unlikely to be correct from a chronological point of view.

d) LAMBERT . "Hugo sæculari militiæ mancipatus [...de Gizorcio]" donated “locum jure hereditario...mihi in honorem S.

PAYEN de Gisors [de Neaufle] (-after [1110/24]). Orderic Vitalis records that William II King of England constructed "castrum Gisortis", and that “Tedbaldus-Paganus de Gisortis” was among those captured and ransomed by the French, dated to [1097][364]. Orderic Vitalis records that Robert III Duke of Normandy granted "munitionem de Gisortis" to “Tedbaldo Pagano” was among those captured and ransomed by the French, dated to [1097][365]. "Hugo vicecomes de Calvomonte...Paganus de Gisortio et uxor eius Mathilde et filii eorum Hugo et Hervæus et Richildis et Idonea sorores eorum" consented to the donation by "Hubertus Bucellus moriens" to Saint-Martin-de-Pontoise by charter dated to [1110/24][366]. Orderic Vitalis records the rebellion of "Pagani de Gisortis", dated to [1123][367].

m MATHILDE, daughter of [GEOFFROY “le Riche” & his wife Richilde ---]. Duchesne indicates that “Thibaud surnommé Payen”, the husband of Mathilde, was the son of Geoffroy “le Riche” and his wife Richilde[369]. Duchesne quotes an undated charter which confirms that her son was the grandson of Geoffroy “le Riche”: “Theobaudus Pagani de Gisorz et nobilis matrona Mathildis filius” confirmed donations to Pontoise Saint-Martin made by “avus eius Godefridus Dives et uxor eius Richildis”[370]. The fact that Mathilde’s husband is called “de Gisors” in these charters, an epithet which was not applied to Geoffroy “le Riche”, suggests that it may have been Mathilde herself who was the daughter of Geoffroy “le Riche”, although no primary source has yet been identified which confirms beyond all doubt that this hypothesis is correct. "Hugo vicecomes de Calvomonte...Paganus de Gisortio et uxor eius Mathilde et filii eorum Hugo et Hervæus et Richildis et Idonea sorores eorum" consented to the donation by "Hubertus Bucellus moriens" to Saint-Martin-de-Pontoise by charter dated to [1110/24][371]. "Theobaudus de Gisortio" confirmed donations to Saint-Martin de Pontoise made by "Theobaldus, Pagani de Gisors et nobilis matronæ Mathildis filius...Godefridus Dives et Richildis uxor eius...Paganus de Gisortio uxorque eius Mathildis...Hugo filius Pagani mortuus sepelitur in æde S Martini, Mathildis eius relicta et Theobaudus frater..." by charter dated to [1149][372].

Thibaut [I] & his wife had seven children:

1. HUGUES [II] de Gisors (-before [1149], bur Pontoise Saint-Martin). "Hugo vicecomes de Calvomonte...Paganus de Gisortio et uxor eius Mathilde et filii eorum Hugo et Hervæus et Richildis et Idonea sorores eorum" consented to the donation by "Hubertus Bucellus moriens" to Saint-Martin-de-Pontoise by charter dated to [1110/24][373].

- see below.

2. HERVE de Gisors (-after 1123). "Hugo vicecomes de Calvomonte...Paganus de Gisortio et uxor eius Mathilde et filii eorum Hugo et Hervæus et Richildis et Idonea sorores eorum" consented to the donation by "Hubertus Bucellus moriens" to Saint-Martin-de-Pontoise by charter dated to [1110/24][374]. Orderic Vitalis records that "Burchardus de Monte Morencii, aliique prudentes" advised Louis VI King of France not to invade Normandy, dated to 1119, that "Mathæus comes de Bellomonte et Guido de Claromonte...ac Burchardus de Monte Morentii" led the invasion, that “Burchardum ac Otmundum et Albericum de Marolio“ were captured in battle at Brémule, and that “Burcardum ac Herveium de Gisortis...quia homines utriusque regis erant” were released by Henry I King of England[375]. Orderic Vitalis records that Henry I King of England hurried from "Ponte-Aldemari" to "Gisortis", that “Hugo, Pagani filius, cum Stephano Moritolii consule“ was ignorant of events involving his father and was still loyal to the king, who granted him his father’s honours after disinheriting “Herveio filio suo”, dated to 1123[376]. Orderic’s reference to the disinheritance of Hervé in favour of Hugues suggests that the former was the older brother. However, the charter dated [1110/24] quoted above indicates that Hugues was older than Hervé.

3. RICHILDE de Gisors (-[after 1149]). "Hugo vicecomes de Calvomonte...Paganus de Gisortio et uxor eius Mathilde et filii eorum Hugo et Hervæus et Richildis et Idonea sorores eorum" consented to the donation by "Hubertus Bucellus moriens" to Saint-Martin-de-Pontoise by charter dated to [1110/24][377]. A charter dated 25 Mar [1148] records that “uxor ipsius...Matildis et frater defuncti...Theobaldus atque soror ipsius...Richildis” donated “decimam moltura molendinorum suorum...apud Gisorcium” to Pontoise Saint-Martin the day when “Hugo filius Pagani de Nealfo” was buried at the church, witnessed by “Hugo Vicecomes de Caluomonte, Hugo de Marinis et filius eius Theobaudus, Richardus de Bauterluto et Willelmus et Herueus fratres eius...Drogo de Conflentio et Gauterius frater eius”[378].

4. IDOINE de Gisors (-after [1110/24]). "Hugo vicecomes de Calvomonte...Paganus de Gisortio et uxor eius Mathilde et filii eorum Hugo et Hervæus et Richildis et Idonea sorores eorum" consented to the donation by "Hubertus Bucellus moriens" to Saint-Martin-de-Pontoise by charter dated to [1110/24][379]. Depoin says that "Idoine (surnom donné à une fillette avant son baptême, à cause de son intelligence précoce) n’est autre que Marguerite femme de Guillaume Aiguillon II de Trie morte en 1147"[380]. However, the name Idoine was also given to the daughter of Hugues [II], which suggests that it may have been a family name and that Idoine, sister of Hugues [II], may not have been the same daughter as Marguerite.

5. MARGUERITE de Gisors (-1147). "Margarita uxor Willelmi Aculeii de Treja" donated property to Saint-Martin-de-Pontoise on her deathbed, with the advice of "fratris sui Theobaudi de Gisortio" for the soul of "viri sui Willelmi", and in the presence of "frater eius Theobaldus et quatuor filiæ suæ Oda…et Ydonea et Adelaidis et Mathildis" by charter dated 1147, which specifies that "Ingelramnus filius" was not present because "Theobaldus avunculus eius" prevented him[381]. m GUILLAUME [II] "Aiguillon" de Chaumont, son of DREUX de Chaumont & his wife --- (-[1147]).

6. THIBAUT [II] de Gisors (-27 Jan after [1181/85]). A charter dated 25 Mar [1148] records that “uxor ipsius...Matildis et frater defuncti...Theobaldus atque soror ipsius...Richildis” donated “decimam moltura molendinorum suorum...apud Gisorcium” to Pontoise Saint-Martin the day when “Hugo filius Pagani de Nealfo” was buried at the church, witnessed by “Hugo Vicecomes de Caluomonte, Hugo de Marinis et filius eius Theobaudus, Richardus de Bauterluto et Willelmus et Herueus fratres eius...Drogo de Conflentio et Gauterius frater eius”[382]. "Theobaudus de Gisortio" confirmed donations to Saint-Martin de Pontoise made by "Theobaldus, Pagani de Gisors et nobilis matronæ Mathildis filius...Godefridus Dives et Richildis uxor eius...Paganus de Gisortio uxorque eius Mathildis...Hugo filius Pagani mortuus sepelitur in æde S Martini, Mathildis eius relicta et Theobaudus frater..." by charter dated to [1149][383]. A charter dated 1150 records that Louis VII King of France exiled "Theobaldum de Gisortio" who went to “villam suam...Beeleium” with “Willelmum abbatem” who took them to the church of Saint-Martin de Pontoise, and that while at Le Bellay "Robertus de Relhi" donated “decimam” with the support of “ipsum Theobaldo uxor eius Rohaidis et sororia ejus Mathildis quæ fuerat uxor Hugonis de Gisortio fratris Theobaldi et filius eiusdem Mathildis Johannes nepos Theobaldi et soror Johannis Idonea”[384]. "Dnum Theobaudus de Gisortio" confirmed an agreement between Saint-Martin de Pontoise and "Dnum Theobaldum de Ronkerolis" as well as the donation of “decima de Arunvilla” made by “Dnam Mathildem quæ fuit uxor Hugonis de Gisortio fratris Dni Theobaldi graviter infirmari apud Charz”, with the consent of “Johanne fratre suo, nepote domni Theobaudi, ipsoque Theobaudo”, by charter dated to [1151/61], witnessed by “Gauterius de Insula miles, Hugo de Banterluto nepos Domini Theobaudi...”[385]. Louis VII King of France wrote to “fideli suo T. de Gisortio” regarding “loqui de verbo...inter Milonem de Livis et nepotem suum” dated 1161[386], indicating that the king had been reconciled with Thibaut. A charter dated to [1176] records that "Theobaldus de Gisurcio" had donated “ecclesia de Charz” to Pontoise Saint-Martin, but later donated it to Saint-Denis, and confirms the settlement of the dispute[387]. A charter dated to [1181/85] records the presence of "dno Theobaldo de Gisorcio" in a judgment given by the Pope’s representative against Pontoise Saint-Martin[388]. The necrology of Pontoise Saint-Martin records the death “VI Kal Feb” of “Theobaldus de Gisortio”[389]. m ROHESE, daughter of --- (-after 1150). A charter dated 1150 records that Louis VII King of France exiled "Theobaldum de Gisortio" who went to “villam suam...Beeleium” with “Willelmum abbatem” who took them to the church of Saint-Martin de Pontoise, and that while at Le Bellay "Robertus de Relhi" donated “decimam” with the support of “ipsum Theobaldo uxor eius Rohaidis et sororia ejus Mathildis quæ fuerat uxor Hugonis de Gisortio fratris Theobaldi et filius eiusdem Mathildis Johannes nepos Theobaldi et soror Johannis Idonea”[390]. Depoin suggests that she was Rohese de Bulles, daughter of Lancelin [II] de Beauvais Seigneur de Bulles & his wife Agnes de Dammartin, because Thibaut de Gisors was helped by Guillaume de Mello abbot of Pontoise Saint-Martin during a dispute with Louis VII King of France, Abbot Guillaume being the brother of Dreux [II] Seigneur de Mello who had married the sister of Rohese de Bulles[391]. From a chronological point of view, this is unlikely to be correct as Rohese de Bulles was named in a charter dated 1114, so could have been considerably older than Thibaut de Gisors.

7. daughter . Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated to [1151/61] under which "Dnum Theobaudus de Gisortio" confirmed an agreement between Saint-Martin de Pontoise and "Dnum Theobaldum de Ronkerolis" as well as the donation of “decima de Arunvilla” made by “Dnam Mathildem quæ fuit uxor Hugonis de Gisortio fratris Dni Theobaldi graviter infirmari apud Charz”, with the consent of “Johanne fratre suo, nepote domni Theobaudi, ipsoque Theobaudo”, by charter dated to [1151/61], witnessed by “Gauterius de Insula miles, Hugo de Banterluto nepos Domini Theobaudi...”[392]. m RICHARD [I] de Banterlu, son of THIERRY [de Bantelu] & his wife ---.

F. SEIGNEURS de L'ISLE-ADAM

L’Isle-Adam is located south-west of Beaumont-sur-Oise, on the banks of the river Oise in the direction of Méry. The first family of seigneurs de l’Isle, in which the name Adam was used repeatedly, applied this name to their property which became known as l’Isle-Adam. The seigneurie passed to the Villiers family in the early 14th century on marriage with the heiress of the original family.

The names Lancelin and Manassès, introduced into the Isle-Adam family after this marriage, do suggest a connection with the Bulles family. However, no mention has been found of the involvement of the Isle-Adam family in the complicated question of the inheritance of the seigneurie de Bulles during the 12th century.

G. SEIGNEURS de MONTFORT-l'AMAURY

Dion suggested that the castles of Montfort and Epernon were constructed as twin protection for the castle of Saint-Léger-en-Yvelines, which was a preferred residence of Robert II King of France and lay approximately equidistant between Montfort to the north towards Paris and Epernon to the south in the direction of Chartres[464]. As noted below, the construction of both castles was probably started in the early 11th century. The seigneurs de Montfort-l'Amaury were vassals of the comtes de Beaumont[sur-Oise], as shown by the charter dated to before 1091 under which "Mainerium, fratrem Symonis de Monte Forti" donated property, with the consent of "…comiteque Belli Montis Ivonis"[465]. After the death in 1118 of Guillaume “Crespin” Comte d’Evreux (see the document NORMANDY NOBILITY), the county of Evreux passed to his nephew Amaury Seigneur de Montfort, although Orderic Vitalis records that Henry I King of England "took the county of Evreux into his own hands" because Amaury "had forfeited the king's favour by his effrontery"[466]. Orderic records that Amaury led a major rebellion and captured the town of Evreux[467], after which King Henry besieged the castle, before the two parties were reconciled by King Henry's nephew Thibaut Comte de Blois[468], when Amaury’s succession as Comte d'Evreux was confirmed. The seigneurie de Montfort was elevated to the status of a county in [1223/26] in favour of Amaury de Montfort Duc de Narbonne, Comte de Toulouse, et Seigneur de Montfort, as compensation for the loss of territories in the south-west of France[469]. The corresponding act has not survived, but Amaury is described as "Amalricus...comes Montisfortis et Leycestrie" in a charter for Notre-Dame des Vaux de Cernay dated May 1226[470]. The county of Montfort was inherited by Amaury’s grand-daughter who married Robert [IV] Comte de Dreux, who granted it to their daughter Yolande wife of Arthur II Duke of Brittany.

1. [GUILLAUME [de Hainaut], son of --- . Orderic Vitalis names "Guillelmi Hanoensis" as father of "Amalrici senioris de Monte-Forti", when recording a visit by Henri I King of France to Fécamp on the advice of Amaury, dated to [1032][471]. The accuracy of the information is uncertain, although presumably it cannot be dismissed entirely. Dion suggests that he was a cousin of Reginar [IV] Comte de Hainaut[472]. No other trace of such a person has yet been found.] m --- dame de Nogent, daughter of ---. Her marriage is confirmed by an apparently incomplete fragmentary passage of the mid-12th century continuation of the Historia of Monk Aimon which records that, during the reign of Robert II King of France, [name omitted] fortified "Sparnonem et Montifortem" and married "de Novigento dominam"[473]. One child:

a) AMAURY [I] de Montfort (-after Apr 1052). An apparently incomplete fragmentary passage of the mid-12th century continuation of the Historia of Monk Aimon records that, during the reign of Robert II King of France, [name omitted] was granted “Benia” taken from “dominio Sancti Germani”, fortified "Sparnonem et Montifortem", married "de Novigento dominam" by whom he fathered "unum filium...Almaricum", who in turn was father of "duos filios...Simonem et Almaricum", Simon being the father of “Almaricum de Monteforti et Bertrandam comitissam Andegavensem”[474]. “Comes Ivo de Bello monte, Ebo miles, Guarinus miles Parisius, Almaricus miles de Monteforte” witnessed the charter dated 1022 under which Robert II King of France confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Saint-Mesmin de Micy[475]. “…Almarici de Monteforti…” witnessed the charter dated 1028 under which Robert II King of France confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Saint-Mesmin de Micy[476]. Robert II King of France confirmed the donation of "Manasses comes" to Chartres Notre-Dame by charter dated 4 Feb 1031, signed by "…Manasses comitis, Hilduini comitis fratris eius, filorum eius Manassis et Hilduini, Burcardo de Montemorenciaco, Evrardi filii Hilduini de Britoglio, Amalrici de Monteforti, Milonis de Caprosa…"[477]. He began the building of the castle of Montfort l'Amaury, which was finished by his son[478]. Orderic Vitalis records that Henri I King of France visited Fécamp, dated to [1032], on the advice of "Amalrici senioris de Monte-Forti, filii Guillelmi Hanoensis"[479].

- SEIGNEURS d’EPERNON.

iii) [EVA (-23 Jan 1099, bur Bec abbey). Her possible affiliation is explained in the Complete Peerage[485]. The Chronicon Beccensis Abbatiæ records that "tempore S. Anselmi abbatis Becci tres matronæ nobiles…Basilia uxor Hugonis de Gornaco, et Amfrida neptis ipsius Basiliæ, et Eva uxor Guillelmi Crispini" entered Bec and lived at the abbey, adding that they died on three consecutive Sundays "Amfrida Basiliæ neptis...minor...ætate, virgo…IV Non Jan, qua sepulta…Basilia domina eius…XVII Kal Feb…tertia Eva…X Kal Feb...post mortem...viri sui Guillermi Crispini...Beccique usque ad finem vitæ...perseuerauit"[486]. Gurney dates the passage to [1099/1100][487]. m GUILLAUME Crispin, son of GILBERT [I] Crispin & his wife Gunnora --- (-Bec 8 Jan 1074).]

"Amalricus miles" founded the priory of Saint-Thomas d’Epernon, with the consent of "conjugis mee…Bertredis…et filiorum meorum…Simonis…atque Mainerii", by charter dated [11 Apr 1052/Jul 1053][490]. He succeeded his father as Seigneur de Montfort and completed the construction of the castle known as Montfort-l'Amaury which was started by his father[491]. "…Simon de Monte forti…" witnessed the charter dated 29 May 1067 under which Philippe I King of France confirmed the possessions of Saint-Martin-des-Champs[492]. Orderic Vitalis records the death of “Simon de Monteforti, gener Ricardi comitis Ebroicensium”, dated to 1087 from the context[493]. "Mainerium, fratrem Symonis de Monte Forti" donated property, with the consent of "Simone fratre eius comiteque Belli Montis Ivonis", by charter dated to before 1091, which also names "domnus Simon, filio suo Amalrico"[494].

m firstly ISABELLE de Broyes dame de Nogent-le-Roi, daughter of HUGUES [I] "Bardoul" de Broyes & his [first wife ---]. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by a charter dated 1160 under which Louis VII King of France confirmed donations to the abbey of Colombs near Nogent, including donations made by "Hugo…Bardulfus…et Simon de Monteforti gener eius et successor"[495]. The primary source which confirms her name has not been identified. The Historia of Monk Aimon records that "dominam de Novigento" married the lord of "Montifortem et Sparnomum", although the passage is confused as it appears to refer to the paternal grandparents of Simon, husband of Isabelle[496].

m secondly ---. The primary source which confirms her marriage has not been identified.

m thirdly ([before 1070]) AGNES d'Evreux, daughter of RICHARD Comte d'Evreux [Normandie] & his wife Godechildis ---.

In other passages he names her and specifies that she was the daughter of Richard and sister of Guillaume[498]. The date of her marriage is estimated from the marriage of her daughter which is dated to 1089.

Simon [I] & his first wife had three children:

1. AMAURY [II] de Montfort (1056-killed in battle [1089]). "Mainerium, fratrem Symonis de Monte Forti" donated property, with the consent of "Simone fratre eius comiteque Belli Montis Ivonis", by charter dated to before 1091, which also names "domnus Simon, filio suo Amalrico"[499]. He succeeded his father in [1087] as Seigneur de Montfort-l'Amaury. Orderic Vitalis records that, two years after the death of King William I [1089], “Ascelinus cognomento Goellus” captured “arcem Ibreii” from “Guillelmo Bretoliensi domino suo” and surrendered it to Duke Robert who resold it to Guillaume de Breteuil for “MD libras”, triggering a lengthy war, during which “Almaricus de Monteforti qui Fortis” attacked the lands of Guillaume but was killed[500].

2. ISABELLE de Montfort . Orderic Vitalis records that “Radulfus...de Conchis filius Rogerii de Toenia” kidnapped “Agnetem uterinam sororem suam, Ricardi Ebroicensium comitis filiam” by night and married her to “Simoni de Monteforti”, who in exchange granted “filiam eiusdem Simonis...Isabel” to Raoul[501]. Her parentage is suggested by a charter dated 1160 under which Louis VII King of France confirmed donations to the abbey of Colombs near Nogent, including donations made by "Hugo Bardulfus castri Nouigenti…aliique eorum successores…Simon de Montisforti, et Radulfus iunior de Toneio et Rogerius filius eius…et Simon de Monteforti gener eius et successor"[502]. Orderic Vitalis records that “Elizabeth...uxor et Rogerius atque Radulfus filii eius” consented to the donations to Ouche made by “Radulfus...de Conchis filius Rogerii de Toenia...Normannorum...signifer”[503]. Dame de Nogent-le-Roi. Orderic Vitalis calls her "Isabel de Conches", says she was "generous, daring and gay" but "in war she rode armed as a knight among the knights", and recounts that Helvise Ctss d'Evreux was offended by her "slighting remarks" which led to a bitter war between their husbands[504]. After her husband died, she repented "the mortal sin of luxury in which she had indulged in her youth" and became a nun at Haute-Bruyère[505]. m RAOUL [III] de Tosny Seigneur de Conches, son of ROGER [II] de Tosny & his wife Godechildis --- (-24 Mar [1102], bur Conches Saint-Pierre).

3. GUILLAUME de Montfort (-27 Aug 1101). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified. He was elected Bishop of Paris in 1095, consecrated in 1096[506].

He succeeded his brother as Seigneur de Montfort-l’Amaury. Orderic Vitalis records the bitter dispute between “Helvisa...comitissa” [wife of Guillaume Comte d’Evreux] and “Isabelem de Conchis” [wife of Raoul [III] de Tosny] and the war between their husbands which followed, during the course of which “nepotes eius...Guillelmus de Bretolio et Ricardus de Monteforti” supported “Guillelmus comes” and Richard was killed, being buried “Asparlone in cimiterio sancti Thomæ apostoli”, dated to [1090][508].

5. SIMON [II] de Montfort (-24 or 25 Sep after 1104). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified. He succeeded his brother in [1092] as Seigneur de Montfort-l'Amaury. The necrology of Chartres cathedral records the death "VII Kal Oct" of "Symon de Monteforti"[509]. The necrology of Saint-Père-en-Vallée records the death "VIII Kal Oct" of "Simon miles de Monteforti"[510].

6. BERTRADE de Montfort (-Fontevrault end-1115/1116, bur church of the priory of Hautes-Bruyères, Saint-Remy-l’Honoré, Yvelines). Her parentage is recorded by Orderic Vitalis[511]. The De Genere Comitum Flandrensium, Notæ Parisienses names "Fulconi Richin Andegavensi comiti uxorem suam nomine Bertradam" as second wife of King Philippe whom he abducted from her first husband after repudiating his first wife[512]. Orderic Vitalis records that “Bertrada...Andegavorum comitissa”, fearing that her husband was about to treat her like his previous two wives, sought protection from “Philippo regi Francorum” who repudiated his own wife and married her, the ceremony being conducted by “Odo Bajocensis episcopus”[513]. William of Tyre records this marriage[514]. Pope Urban II at the Council of Autun excommunicated the king 16 Oct 1094, confirmed at the Council of Clermont 18/28 Nov 1095[515]. The church finally admitted the validity of the marriage after the Council of Paris 2 Dec 1104[516]. Orderic Vitalis alleges that Bertrade tried to poison her stepson Louis so her own sons could succeed to the throne[517]. "Fulco iunior Andegavensium comes Fulconis comitis filius" donated property to the abbey of Fontevraud with the consent of "Bertrade regina matre meo, Philipo fratre meo" by charter dated to [1109/1112/13][518]. m firstly (1089, divorced [15 May 1092]) as his fifth wife, FOULQUES IV "le Réchin" Comte d'Anjou, son of GEOFFROY II Comte de Gâtinais, Seigneur de Château-Landon & his wife Ermengarde d'Anjou (1043-14 Apr 1109). m secondly (Paris 1092, before 27 Oct) bigamously as his second wife, PHILIPPE I King of France, son of HENRI I King of France & his second wife Anna Iaroslavna of Kiev (1052-château de Melun, Seine-et-Marne 30 Jul 1108, bur Abbaye Saint Benoît-sur-Loire).

H. SEIGNEURS de MONTMORENCY

The Montmorency family was studied by Duchesne in the early 17th century[520]. More recently, the establishment of this family at the castle of Montmorency, and its rise to power between the 11th and 14th centuries, was analysed in detail by Brigitte Bedos[521]. Duchesne records that "la ville de Montmorency" is situated "dessus un Mont à deux lieues de S. Denys sepulchre des Roys et à quatre de Paris"[522].

[Two possible] brothers, whose descent from the family of the vicomtes d’Orléans (see the document CENTRAL FRANCE NOBILITY) has been suggested:

1. BOUCHARD [I] "le Barbu" de Montmorency (-before 1012). He inherited a castle on an island in the Seine from his wife (see below). Robert II King of France granted protection to the abbey of Saint-Denis, confirmed the destruction of the castle held by "Burchardi cognomento Barbati…de feudo sancti Dionysii prope ipsum castrum in insula Sequanæ", inherited "ex sua coniuge, coniugi autem ex marito suo Hugone…Basseth", and the grant of Montmorency (near Fontaine Saint-Valéry) to Bouchard, by charter dated 25 Jan 996[523]. Bedos dated this charter to 25 Jan 1008 and confirmed that it is partly spurious[524]. [Brigitte Bedos identifies "Burchardus", who subscribed a series of charters of Robert II King of France, as Bouchard [I][525]: "…Ottonis comitis, Widonis comitis, Rodulfi comitis, Rainaldi comitis, Burchardi, Odonis vicecomitis" subscribed the charter dated 1005 under which Robert II King of France confirmed possessions of Saint-Bénigne de Dijon[526]. "…Buchardus…" subscribed the charter dated 1007 under which Robert II King of France confirmed the foundation of "ecclesia B. Mariæ Bellimontis, non longe sita a castro Patris Martini…in pago Turonico"[527].] A presumably spurious charter dated Feb 1028 records that Foulques "Nerra" Comte d’Anjou granted "castris et dominiis Eroussi, Caprosæ et Marlei", previously held by "Burchardus quondam comes patruus noster et Reginaldus episcopus Parisiensis", to "Burchardo de Montemaurenciaco et Alveriæ uxoris sue et filiis suis Buchardo, Gelduino et Alberico"[528]. m as her second husband, ---, widow of HUGUES Basset, daughter of --- (-[1009/12] or after). Her marriages are confirmed by Duchesne who reproduces the "Chroniques françoises de l’abbaye de sainct Denys" which state that "Bouchard a la Barbe" held a castle "en une Isle de Seine" from "sa femme, et sa femme d’un sien mary qu’elle ut paravant…Huc Basset"[529]. Bouchard [I] & his wife had [five] children:

a) BOUCHARD [II] de Montmorency (-after 4 Feb 1031). "Burchardi filii Burchardi de Montemorenciaco" subscribed the charter dated 1 May 1023 under which Robert II King of France confirmed property of the abbey of Saint-Vaast[530]. Seigneur de Montmorency et de Marly.

- see below.

b) GELDUIN de Montmorency . A presumably spurious charter dated Feb 1028 records that Foulques "Nerra" Comte d’Anjou granted "castris et dominiis Eroussi, Caprosæ et Marlei", previously held by "Burchardus quondam comes patruus noster et Reginaldus episcopus Parisiensis", to "Burchardo de Montemaurenciaco et Alveriæ uxoris sue et filiis suis Buchardo, Gelduino et Alberico"[531].

c) AUBRY de Montmorency (-after 1060). A presumably spurious charter dated Feb 1028 records that Foulques "Nerra" Comte d’Anjou granted "castris et dominiis Eroussi, Caprosæ et Marlei", previously held by "Burchardus quondam comes patruus noster et Reginaldus episcopus Parisiensis", to "Burchardo de Montemaurenciaco et Alveriæ uxoris sue et filiis suis Buchardo, Gelduino et Alberico"[532]. Connétable de France until [1060]. "Tetbaldi de Montemorenci, Alberici connestabularii…" subscribed the charter dated 1060 under which Henri I King of France confirmed the restoration of the abbey of Saint-Martin des Champs, Paris[533].

According to Duchesne the brothers Landry and Arraud were sons of Aubry de Montmorency Connétable de France[535]. "Arroldus de Montemarentii" donated “apud Cebrentum terram...Mons Zelosus” to Saint-Martin-des-Champs, with the consent of “Odelina uxore sua et Landrico fratre suo” by charter dated to [1083/89], which specifies that “Albericus filius eius et...Odelina et frater defuncti Landricus” confirmed the donation on the day when Arraud was buried at the church[536].]

ii) [ARRAUD (-[1083/89]). "Herveus de Montemorenciaco, Hugo comes de Domno Martino, Theodericus filius Fulchardi, Hugo filius suus, Ivo Rufus, Drogo filius Ivonis, Godefredus de Morenciaco Monte, Ivo, Landricus filius Alberici...Arraudus frater Landrici…" witnessed the charter dated to [1083] under which “Fulco” donated the fief he held from the church “in villa...Anetum” to Saint-Martin-des-Champs[537]. According to Duchesne the brothers Landry and Arraud were sons of Aubry de Montmorency Connétable de France[538]. "Arroldus de Montemarentii" donated “apud Cebrentum terram...Mons Zelosus” to Saint-Martin-des-Champs, with the consent of “Odelina uxore sua et Landrico fratre suo” by charter dated to [1083/89], which specifies that “Albericus filius eius et...Odelina et frater defuncti Landricus” confirmed the donation on the day when Arraud was buried at the church, witnessed by “Nanterus de Montegaio, Paganus frater eius baptismatus Arnulfus...”[539]. m ODELINE, daughter of ---.

Arraud & his wife had one child:

(a) AUBRY . "Arroldus de Montemarentii" donated “apud Cebrentum terram...Mons Zelosus” to Saint-Martin-des-Champs, with the consent of “Odelina uxore sua et Landrico fratre suo” by charter dated to [1083/89], which specifies that “Albericus filius eius et...Odelina et frater defuncti Landricus” confirmed the donation on the day when Arraud was buried at the church[541].

d) [EUDES de Montmorency (-after Sep 1069). “...Odo de Monte Morencii...” witnessed the charter dated to before 1070 (probably before [1055/61]) under which "Teduinus vicecomes castri Mellentis…cum meo filio Gualteri, prænomine autem nuncupato Pagano" confirmed rights in property of "Sancti Petri Gismoensis" to Chartres Saint-Père[542]. Duchesne suggests that he was a son of Bouchard [I] “le Barbu” de Montmorency[543]. However, he could also have been a knight attached to the castle of Montmorency from which he adopted his name. “...Hermerus præpositus, Odo de Monte Morencio” witnessed the charter dated Sep 1069 under which Philippe I King of France confirmed a donation to Bec made by “Hugo comes filius Waleranni comitis” [Hugues Comte de Meulan][544]. Duchesne says that he was the father of “un autre Eudes qui vivoit soubs le Roy Philippe I” without citing the corresponding primary source[545]. It is assumed that this refers to the charter dated 1096 under which "Burchardus de Montemaurinciaco" confirmed donations made to Saint-Martin des Champs, Paris by "miles…Paganus…a baptismate Walterius et uxor eius a baptismate Hodierna Comitissa nuncupata", witnessed by “milites eius...Hugo filius Theoderici, Odo filius Odonis, Hugo de Warenna, Richardus filius Theoderici...”[546].

e) [FOUCAUD [I] . He is named by Duchesne as another son of Bouchard [I] “le Barbu” de Montmorency but he does not cite the corresponding primary source[547]. His descendants were studied by Estournet[548]. His connection with the Montmorency family is indicated by the charter dated to [1121] under which [his grandson] “Richardus filius Theoderici de Montmorenciaco” donated the church of Moncelles to Pontoise Saint-Martin, with the consent of "Fulcardo fratre suo"[549], and the charter dated 1122 under which "Fulcardus frater Richardi filii Theoderici de Montemorenciaco" donated other property to the same church on his deathbed[550].] m ---. The name of Foucaud's wife is not known. Foucaud [I] & his wife had one child:

The name of Thierry’s wife is not known. Thierry & his wife had two children:

(a) HUGUES (-after 1096). "...Theodericus filius Fulchardi, Hugo filius suus…" witnessed the charter dated to [1083] under which “Fulco” donated the fief he held from the church “in villa...Anetum” to Saint-Martin-des-Champs[552]. "Burchardus de Montemaurinciaco" confirmed donations made to Saint-Martin des Champs, Paris by "miles…Paganus…a baptismate Walterius et uxor eius a baptismate Hodierna Comitissa nuncupata" by charter dated 1096, witnessed by “milites eius...Hugo filius Theoderici, Odo filius Odonis, Hugo de Warenna, Richardus filius Theoderici...”[553].

(b) RICHARD [I] de Bantelu . "Burchardus de Montemaurinciaco" confirmed donations made to Saint-Martin des Champs, Paris by "miles…Paganus…a baptismate Walterius et uxor eius a baptismate Hodierna Comitissa nuncupata" by charter dated 1096, witnessed by “milites eius...Hugo filius Theoderici, Odo filius Odonis, Hugo de Warenna, Richardus filius Theoderici...”[554]. A charter dated 25 Mar [1148] records that “uxor ipsius...Matildis et frater defuncti...Theobaldus atque soror ipsius...Richildis” donated “decimam moltura molendinorum suorum...apud Gisorcium” to Pontoise Saint-Martin the day when “Hugo filius Pagani de Nealfo” was buried at the church, witnessed by “...Richardus de Bauterluto et Willelmus et Herueus fratres eius...”[555]. m --- de Gisors, daughter of PAYEN de Gisors & his wife Mathilde ---. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated to [1151/61] under which "Dnum Theobaudus de Gisortio" confirmed an agreement between Saint-Martin de Pontoise and "Dnum Theobaldum de Ronkerolis" as well as the donation of “decima de Arunvilla” made by “Dnam Mathildem quæ fuit uxor Hugonis de Gisortio fratris Dni Theobaldi graviter infirmari apud Charz”, with the consent of “Johanne fratre suo, nepote domni Theobaudi, ipsoque Theobaudo”, by charter dated to [1151/61], witnessed by “Gauterius de Insula miles, Hugo de Banterluto nepos Domini Theobaudi...”[556].

2. [AUBRY [I] (-after 987). Seigneur de Vihiers-en-Anjou. An undated charter of Saint-Aubin d’Angers recites the history of land at Champigné-sur-Sarthe, recording firstly that "Gaufridus comes filius Fulconis comitis cognomento Rufi" (Geoffroy I "Grisegonelle", Comte d’Anjou from 958 to 987), after his duel with "Hisgaldo clerico apud Mosterolum super mare", brought "de pago Parisiacensi quendam Albericum consanguineum suum" to Anjou and to whom he granted "omnem terram de Vieriis et capellam Sanctæ Mariæ Caritatis"[558]. Europäische Stammtafeln dates this grant to 975[559]. ["Adelelmus miles…ac Burcardus…consobrinum meum" donated property, including "prædium in pago Senonico…Villaris…cum ecclesia…beatæ Mariæ", to Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire, for the souls of "genitore meo Rotberto et genitrice mea…Bertha et pro Burcardo", by charter dated 8 Sep 975, witnessed by "…Alberici…"[560].] Ménage states that "Alberic de Montmorenci oncle du Connestable de France et fîs de Bouchard I Seigneur de Montmorenci fut Seigneurs de Vihers en Anjou par le don que lui en fît vers 980 Geoffroi Grisegonelle Conte d’Anjou son parent"[561].

BOUCHARD [II] de Montmorency, son of BOUCHARD [I] "le Barbu" de Montmorency & his wife ---. (-after 4 Feb 1031). Seigneur de Montmorency et de Marly. "Burchardi filii Burchardi de Montemorenciaco" subscribed the charter dated 1 May 1023 under which Robert II King of France confirmed property of the abbey of Saint-Vaast[562]. A presumably spurious charter dated Feb 1028 records that Foulques "Nerra" Comte d’Anjou granted "castris et dominiis Eroussi, Caprosæ et Marlei", previously held by "Burchardus quondam comes patruus noster et Reginaldus episcopus Parisiensis", to "Burchardo de Montemaurenciaco et Alveriæ uxoris sue et filiis suis Buchardo, Gelduino et Alberico"[563]. "…Burchardi de Montemoranci…" subscribed the charter dated [1027/28] under which Robert II King of France confirmed donations to Coulombs[564]. Robert II King of France confirmed the donation of "Manasses comes" to Chartres Notre-Dame by charter dated 4 Feb 1031, signed by "…Manasses comitis, Hilduini comitis fratris eius, filiorum eius Manassis et Hilduini, Burcardo de Montemorenciaco, Evrardi filii Hilduini de Britoglio, Amalrici de Monteforti, Milonis de Caprosa…"[565]. Considering the chronology of the later members of this family, Bouchard [II] presumably died well after the date of this charter.

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

Bouchard [II] & his wife had [five] children:

1. THIBAUT de Montmorency (-after 1086). "Tetbaldi de Montemorenci, Alberici connestabularii…" subscribed the charter dated 1060 under which Henri I King of France confirmed the restoration of the abbey of Saint-Martin des Champs, Paris[566]. “...Tedbaldo de Monte Morentie...” subscribed the charter dated 1060, after 4 Aug, under which Philippe I King of France with “episcopo Agoberto in cujus diocesi eadem ecclesia est” confirmed the confirmation by Henri I King of France of a donation of the church of Saint-Germain de Brezolles to Chartres Saint-Père made by “fidelis noster Albertus...Ribaldi...filius”[567]. "…Thetbaldus de Monte morenciaco…Herveius de Marleio…" witnessed the charter dated 29 May 1067 under which Philippe I King of France confirmed the possessions of Saint-Martin-des-Champs[568]. "…Hervei de Marliaco, Theolbaldi de Monte Morenci…" subscribed the charter dated [5] Nov 1071 under which "Buccardus…Corbolensium comes" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Spire de Corbeil, although the document does not specify any relationship between the two[569]. "Theobaldum de Montemaurenciaco fratremque eius Herveum" confirmed donations made to the church of Stilly by "Willelmus de Stilliaco" by charter dated 1086, witnessed by "…Godefredus filius Heruei, Garimboldus de Montemaurenciaco"[570]. same person as…? THIBAUT (-after 1086). Connétable de France. Duchesne assumes that Thibaut de Montmorency was the same as Thibaut Connétable who subscribed the following charters[571]. "…Theobaldus constabularius…" subscribed the charter dated 1083 under which Philippe I King of France confirmed a donation to the church of Saint-Léger[572]. "…Tetbaldi constabularii…" subscribed the charter dated 1085 under which Philippe I King of France confirmed the church of Saint-Lucien de Bury to the abbey of Saint-Jean d’Angery[573]. "…Tedbaldi stabularii regis…" subscribed the charter dated 1086 under which Philippe I King of France confirmed a donation of vines to Chartres Saint-Père[574]. The difficulty is that none of these charters specify that the connétable was Thibaut de Montmorency, although it is correct to say that many appointees to this position belonged to the Montmorency family.

2. HERVE de Montmorency (-before 1096). "…Thetbaldus de Monte morenciaco…Herveius de Marleio…" witnessed the charter dated 29 May 1067 under which Philippe I King of France confirmed the possessions of Saint-Martin-des-Champs[575]. "Theobaldum de Montemaurenciaco fratremque eius Herveum" confirmed donations made to the church of Stilly by "Willelmus de Stilliaco" by charter dated 1086, witnessed by "…Godefredus filius Heruei, Garimboldus de Montemaurenciaco"[576]. "…Hervei de Marliaco, Theolbaldi de Monte Morenci…" subscribed the charter dated 1071 under which "Buccardus…Corbolensium comes" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Spire de Corbeil, although the document does not specify any relationship between the two[577]. "Herveus de Montemorenciaco, Godefridus de Morenciaco-Monte, Landricus filius Alberici, Arraudus filius Landrici …" subscribed an undated charter for the church of Saint-Martin-des-Champs, Paris[578]. Bouteiller de France: "…Hervei buticularii …" subscribed the charter dated 1075 under which Philippe I King of France confirmed a donation to the priory of Saint-Pierre d’Abbeville[579]. "Herveus de Montemorenciaco, Hugo comes de Domno Martino, Theodericus filius Fulchardi, Hugo filius suus, Ivo Rufus, Drogo filius Ivonis, Godefredus de Morenciaco Monte, Ivo, Landricus filius Alberici...Arraudus frater Landrici…" witnessed the charter dated to [1083] under which “Fulco” donated the fief he held from the church “in villa...Anetum” to Saint-Martin-des-Champs[580]. "Herveus de Marleio et uxor mea Agnes, Burcardus…filius meus" donated the church of Marly to the abbey of Notre-Dame de Colombs en Beausse by charter dated 1087[581]. m AGNES, daughter of --- (-before 1124). "Herveus de Marleio et uxor mea Agnes, Burcardus…filius meus" donated the church of Marly to the abbey of Notre-Dame de Colombs en Beausse by charter dated 1087[582]. The charter dated 1124, which records an agreement between the prior of Saint-Martin-des-Champs and [her son] "Burchardum de Montemorenciaco" relating to earlier donations, refers to a donation made by Bouchard “post obitum...domine Agnetis matris sue”[583]. Hervé & his wife had [five] children:

a) BOUCHARD [III] de Montmorency (-Jerusalem 2 Jan, after 1124). "Herveus de Marleio et uxor mea Agnes, Burcardus…filius meus" donated the church of Marly to the abbey of Notre-Dame de Colombs en Beausse by charter dated 1087[584]. Seigneur de Montmorency, de Marly, de Feuillarde, de Saint-Brice, d'Epinay et d'Hérouville.

- see below.

b) GEOFFROY de Montmorency (-after 1086). "Theobaldum de Montemaurenciaco fratremque eius Herveum" confirmed donations made to the church of Stilly by "Willelmus de Stilliaco" by charter dated 1086, witnessed by "…Godefredus filius Heruei, Garimboldus de Montemaurenciaco"[585].

c) HERVE de Montmorency . An undated charter records a donation to Chantilly made by "Herveus de Montmaurenciaco", and the later confirmation by "dominus Burchardus supradicti Hervei filius…fratrum eius Hervei clerici, Theobaldi de Marli et Mathei" for the souls of "uxorum suarum et filiorum suorum"[586]. "Comes Ricardus filius comitis Gisleberti" confirmed donations of property to Saint-Victor-en-Caux by "Radulfus de Vuaterivilla et Ansuuidus apud Bosunvillam", with the consent of "Rogerii filii Ricardi et comitis Gisleberti patris mei", by undated charter (a copy of which is attached to a late-12th century transcription of a charter under which Hugh de Mortimer confirmed donations to the monastery), witnessed by "Herveio de Monte Morenci…"[587]. ["...Gaufrido de Caluomonte, Herveio de Marleio, Herveo filio Godefridi Divitis" witnessed the undated charter under which "Gasfridus Nivardi filius" donated "ecclesiam de Mansionibus" to Coulombs[588].]

d) [AUBRY de Montmorency (-29 Apr ----). The necrology of Saint-Victor, Paris records the death "III Kal Mai" of "Magister Albericus de Montemaurentiaco"[589]. Duchesne assumes that Aubry was the son of Hervé Seigneur de Montmorency, apparently only on the basis of this necrology entry which gives no indication either of his parentage or when he lived[590].]

e) [HAWISE (-27 Apr ----). Duchesne, reading all the following documents together, concludes that Hawise, wife of Nivelon de Pierrefonds, was the daughter of Hervé Seigneur de Montmorency[591]. However, these sources do not link the "amita" of Mathieu de Montmorency, whose death is recorded at Saint-Victor, Paris, with the wife of Nivelon Seigneur de Pierrefonds. In addition, "amita" could have been Mathieu’s maternal aunt. A document in the archives of "l’abbaye de Mairmonstier lés Tours" [Marmoutier] records the donation made by "Nivelo dominus de Petra-fonte…et uxoris eius Advisæ", with the consent of "filiis suis Petro, Anscullo, Niueline et Drogone" and encouraged by "domni Hugonis fratris sui Suessionum pontificis" before he left for Jerusalem, by undated charter[592]. The necrology of Saint-Victor, Paris records the death "V Kal Mai" of "Havidis amita Mathei de Montemorenciaco"[593]. The necrology of the abbey du Val de Notre-Dame records the death "III Id Jun" of "Margareta filia Droconis de Petrafonte, Neuelus et Hawida parentes eius"[594]. m NIVELON [II] Seigneur de Pierrefonds, son of NIVELON [I] Seigneur de Pierrefonds & his wife ---.]

3. [GEOFFROY de Montmorency . "Herveus de Montemorenciaco, Hugo comes de Domno Martino, Theodericus filius Fulchardi, Hugo filius suus, Ivo Rufus, Drogo filius Ivonis, Godefredus de Morenciaco Monte, Ivo, Landricus filius Alberici...Arraudus frater Landrici…" witnessed the charter dated to [1083] under which “Fulco” donated the fief he held from the church “in villa...Anetum” to Saint-Martin-des-Champs[595]. Duchesne says that “Geoffroy semble avoir esté frere de Hervé et de Thibaud Seigneur de Montmorency”[596]. "Herveus de Montemorenciaco, Godefridus de Morenciaco-Monte, Landricus filius Alberici, Arraudus filius Landrici …" subscribed an undated charter for the church of Saint-Martin-des-Champs, Paris[597]. same person as...? GEOFFROY “Le Riche” (-after [1085]). Duchesne suggests this co-identity[598]. The naming of his son Hervé, a name typical of the Montmorency family, suggests that it may be correct. "Dominum Godefridum eiusque uxorem ac eorum decentem prolem" donated “ecclesiam villæ...Turris” to the abbey of Saint-Martin de Pontoise by charter dated to [1085] witnessed by "Hervicus, Walterius, Amalricus..."[599].

4. [EUDES de Montmorency . "…Odo de Monte Morentii…" subscribed the charter dated to before 1070 under which "Teduinus vicecomes castri Mellentis" confirmed property to Chartres Saint-Père, with the consent of "meo filio Gualteri, prænomine autem nuncupato Pagano"[600]. Duchesne assumes that he was the second son of Bouchard [I] Seigneur de Montmorency, named before his supposed brother Aubry, but as he cites only the charter quoted above he provides no proof of this statement[601]. From a chronological point of view, it seems more likely that Eudes was the son of Bouchard [II], if he was related to the main Montmorency family at all.]

5. daughter . "Quedam matrona…cum fratre soror, cum patre…Herveo Burchardi Montismorentiaci" donated her share of land at Aisenouille to the monastery of Notre-Dame et de Saint-Paul-en-Beauvaisis by undated charter[602]. Nun 1067/95.

BOUCHARD [III] de Montmorency, son of HERVE Seigneur de Montmorency & his wife Agnes --- (-Jerusalem [2 Jan], after 1124). "Herveus de Marleio et uxor mea Agnes, Burcardus…filius meus" donated the church of Marly to the abbey of Notre-Dame de Colombs en Beausse by charter dated 1087[603]. Seigneur de Montmorency, de Marly, de Feuillarde, de Saint-Brice, d'Epinay et d'Hérouville. The Liber translationis et miraculorum B. Honorinæ records that “domino de Montmorenceio Burcardo” burned the church of Conflans during his war with “comiti Matheo de Bellomonte”, dated to 21 Jun 1086[604]. "Burchardus de Montemaurinciaco" confirmed donations made to Saint-Martin des Champs, Paris by "miles…Paganus…a baptismate Walterius et uxor eius a baptismate Hodierna Comitissa nuncupata" by charter dated 1096, witnessed by “milites eius...Hugo filius Theoderici, Odo filius Odonis, Hugo de Warenna, Richardus filius Theoderici...”[605]. Suger's Vita Ludovici records a dispute between the abbot of Saint-Denis and "Burchardum...dominum Monmorenciacensem" during the course of which the future Louis VI King of France, together with "Matthæum Bellimontensem comitem et Drogonem Monciacensem", invaded “terram eiusdem Burchardi”, dated to [1101][606]. "Dnus Bucardus de Monte Morentiaco" donated road tolls at Saint-Denis to the abbey of Saint-Martin de Pontoise for the souls of "uxorisque suæ, filiorum filiarumque suarum" with the consent of "filium suum Mathæum" by charter dated [1102][607]. "Bocardus Munmorenci castelli dominus" donated property to Chartres Saint-Père, in the presence of "Matheo comite Belli Montis", by charter dated to before 1112, later confirmed by "Matheus filius Bocardi"[608]. An undated charter records a donation to Chantilly made by "Herveus de Montmaurenciaco", and the later confirmation by "dominus Burchardus supradicti Hervei filius…fratrum eius Hervei clerici, Theobaldi de Marli et Mathei" for the souls of "uxorum suarum et filiorum suorum"[609]. Orderic Vitalis records that "Burchardus de Monte Morencii, aliique prudentes" advised Louis VI King of France not to invade Normandy, dated to 1119, that "Mathæus comes de Bellomonte et Guido de Claromonte...ac Burchardus de Monte Morentii" led the invasion, that “Burchardum ac Otmundum et Albericum de Marolio“ were captured in battle at Brémule, and that “Burcardum ac Herveium de Gisortis...quia homines utriusque regis erant” were released by Henry I King of England[610]. The vassal relationship between Bouchard de Montmorency and King Henry has not been identified. A charter dated 1124 records an agreement between the prior of Saint-Martin-des-Champs and "Burchardum de Montemorenciaco" relating to earlier donations[611]. The necrology of the abbey of Notre-Dame du Val records on "XVI Kal Dec" that "Bucardus avus, Bucardus, Theobaldus de Montemorenciaco" died in Jerusalem[612], although it is not clear to which of the three deaths the date relates.

m firstly AGNES [de Beaumont] Dame de Conflans Sainte-Honorine, daughter of IVES [II] Comte de Beaumont-sur-Oise & his second wife Adelais ---. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified. Duchesne cites no primary source which confirms the parentage of Bouchard [III]’s first wife but he highlights that Ives [II] Comte de Beaumont-sur-Oise founded the priory of Sainte-Honorine at Conflans, near Pontoise and that this property was later held by Bouchard [III] Seigneur de Montmorency[613]. The necrology of the priory of Beaumont-sur-Oise records the death "Id Jul" of "Hugo frater Methei comitis, Agnes soror eius"[614].

m secondly (before 1105) AGNES, daughter of RAOUL Deliés [Seigneur de Pontoise] & his wife Hazecha [Hawise] --- (-[18 Jul] ----). "Radulfus Delicatus et Hahuis loco Agnetis filiæ suæ" confirmed donations made to Saint-Martin des Champs, Paris by "Lambertus nepos Humboldi concedente uxore sua Tesza" by undated charter[615]. "Radulfus Delicatus et uxor eius Hazecha" donated property to Saint-Martin des Champs, Paris, with the consent of "eorum filiis Radulfo et Amalrico atque filiabus Agnete et Cometissa", on the day that "uxor sua Hazecha" was buried in the church, by undated charter, witnessed by "Burchardus de Montemorentii…"[616]. "Burchardus de Montemorencii et Agnes uxor eius" confirmed donations to Saint-Martin des Champs, Paris made by "Radulfus Delicatus" by undated charter[617]. [The necrology of the abbaye du Val records the death "XV Kal Aug" of "Agnes de Montemorenciaco"[618]. It is probable that this entry refers to one of the wives of Bouchard [III].]

[m thirdly (after [1114/17]) as her second husband, ADELISA de Clermont, widow of GILBERT FitzRichard de Clare, daughter of HUGUES Comte de Clermont-en-Beauvaisis & his wife Marguerite de Ramerupt. The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis refers to a sister of "comes Rainaldus" as husband of "Gillebertus, filius Richardi Anglici"[619]. Guillaume of Jumièges records that “Giselbertus” married “filia comitis de Claromonte”[620]. Her second marriage into the Montmorency family is confirmed by the charter dated under which Robert Bishop of Lincoln confirms previous donations to Thorney, including one by “Adelidæ de Montemoraci” of “…terræ in Randa quas Turgisius tenuit et Toui prius dederat”[621], which clearly refers back to the earlier undated charter under which “Adeliz, uxor Gilberti filii Ricardi, et Gillebertus et Walterus et Baldewinus et Rohaisia pueri Gilberti” donated property “quod Tovi dedit…et in Randa…quas Turgisius tenebat” to Thorney Monastery[622]. The precise identity of Adelisa’s second husband has not yet been confirmed. According to Duchesne, Adelisa’s second husband was Hervé, son of Bouchard [III] Seigneur de Montmorency and his second wife, but he cites no primary source on which this statement is based[623]. As noted below, the first marriage of Mathieu [I] de Montmorency, who would have been Hervé’s older half-brother born from their father’s first marriage, is dated to [1126]. This suggests the birth of Mathieu [I] in [1095/1105]. If that estimated date range is correct, any half-brothers born from his father’s second marriage would probably have been too young to have married Adelisa. In addition, given Adelisa’s prominent family background and first marriage, it is unlikely that her second husband would have been the younger son of the seigneur de Montmorency. As Adelisa had several children by her first husband, she would have been considerably older than her second husband if he had been a younger son of Bouchard [III]. A more likely case is that Adelisa’s second husband was Bouchard [III] himself, whose age and position would have been more appropriate for the marriage. This is supported by the Liber Vitæ of Thorney abbey which lists "…Gilebt fili[us] Ricardi…Burchardus de Muntmorenci…Aaliz uxor Gilbti filii Ricardi…", suggested by Keats-Rohan as Adelisa and her two husbands[624].]

Bouchard [III] & his first wife had [three] children:

1. MATHIEU [I] de Montmorency (-1160). "Bocardus Munmorenci castelli dominus" donated property to Chartres Saint-Père, in the presence of "Matheo comite Belli Montis", by charter dated to before 1112, later confirmed by "Matheus filius Bocardi"[625]. Seigneur de Montmorency, de Marly, de Conflans-Sainte-Honorine et d'Attichy.

- see below.

2. THIBAUT de Montmorency (-after 1147). "Matheus de Montemorentiaco" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Victor, Paris, for the souls of "…Burcardi patris mei" and with the consent of "frater meus Theobaldus", by undated charter[626]. Duchesne states that he accompanied King Louis VII to the Holy Land in 1147 but cites no primary source which provides the basis for the statement[627].

3. [ADELINE [Helvide/Méchaine] . Her parentage and marriage are suggested by Orderic Vitalis who records that "Petrus…Manliæ" married "Adam, Burchardi de Montemorentii neptem et comitis Gisinarum filiam"[628]. Le Prévost assumes that "comitis Gisinarum" refers to the comte de Guines and states that "Ade fille de Manassès comte de Guines et d’Emme de Tancarville" married "en effet Pierre de Maule et mourut sans enfants avant son père"[629]. He cites no source which provides the basis for his statement, while conceding that he found no family relationship between the Montmorency and Guines families. No record has been found in other primary sources that Robert [Manassès] Comte de Guines had another daughter besides Sibylle [Rose] who married Henri Châtelain de Bourbourg (see the document NORTHERN FRANCE NOBILITY). Duchesne also assumes that Guines is the correct interpretation, although, on the basis that "neptem" indicates niece, he suggests that the relationship was through a daughter of Hervé Seigneur de Montmorency (which appears difficult to sustain from a chronological point of view)[630]. However, it is possible that "Gisinarum" refers to "Guise" (which is normally referred to in primary sources in Latin as "Guisia" or "Guisciensis") and that the granddaughter of Bouchard [III] Seigneur de Montmorency (assuming that "neptem" in Orderic’s passage indicates grand-daughter, not niece) was the daughter of the seigneur de Guise. If this is correct, the chronology dictates that her father must have been Guy Seigneur de Guise. This proposed parentage is corroborated by Guy Seigneur de Guise naming his second son Bouchard, presumably after his father-in-law. "Bartholomeus…Laudunensis episcopus" noted that "Guidone de Guisia" donated property to the abbey of Femy, with the consent of "uxoris suæ Aeluidis", by charter dated Dec 1120[631]. "Wido Lescheriensis…et Guisiensis" granted rights to the abbey of Saint-André du Câteau, for the souls of "meæ et coniugis meæ Adeluyæ", by undated charter, signed by "filiorum meorum Adam et Burgardi…" and later confirmed by the bishop of Laon by charter dated 1121 at the request of "Guido de Gusia rogatu uxoris suæ Adeluyæ et matris suæ Adæ" and with the consent of "filiis suis Adam et Burchardo"[632]. The Histoire de Guise refers to her second marriage, stating that her second husband consented to Adeline's donation to the church of Prémontré at Clairefontaine[633]. m firstly GUY Seigneur de Guise, son of GEOFFROY Seigneur de Guise & his wife Ada de Ramerupt ([1060/80]-after 1124). m secondly HENRI, son of ---.]

Bouchard [III] & his second wife had [one child]:

4. [HERMER (-24 Jul ----). The necrology of the abbaye du Val records the death "IX Kal Aug" of "Hermerus de Montemorenciaco"[634]. According to Duchesne, he was the son of Bouchard [III] Seigneur de Montmorency and his second wife, citing only this necrology entry which gives no indication either of his parentage or the timeframe during which he lived[635]. An indication that the suggestion may be correct is provided by Orderic Vitalis who names "Heremari de Pontesia", possibly related to Hermer’s supposed mother, when recording the marriage of "Itam filiam [suam]" and "Fulcoius, Radulphi de Caldreio [Chaudry] filius"[636]. No other examples have yet been found of this name Hermer.]

Bouchard [III] & his [third wife] had [three] children:

5. [HERVE de Montmorency (-after 1172). His family origin and mother’s identity are confirmed by the undated charter under which “Adeliz, uxor Gilberti filii Ricardi, et Gillebertus et Walterus et Baldewinus et Rohaisia pueri Gilberti” donated property “quod Tovi dedit…et in Randa…quas Turgisius tenebat” to Thorney Monastery, witnessed by “Gilberto filio Gilberti, Galterio, Hervæo, Baldwino fratribus eius et Rohaisia sorore eorum”[637], read together with the later charter recorded in the same source under which Robert Bishop of Lincoln confirmed previous donations to Thorney Monastery, Cambridgeshire including one by “Adelidæ de Montemoraci” of “…terræ in Randa quas Turgisius tenuit et Toui prius dederat”[638]. The question of his father’s identity is discussed above. The Liber Vitæ of Thorney abbey lists "…Burchardus de Muntmorenci…Aaliz uxor Gilbti filii Ricardi…Heruic, Hugo, Guido filii sui…", suggested by Keats-Rohan as Adelisa de Clermont, her second husband, and three sons by her second marriage[639]. “Adeliz, uxor Gilberti filii Ricardi, et Gillebertus et Walterus et Baldewinus et Rohaisia pueri Gilberti” donated property to Thorney Monastery, by undated charter witnessed by “Gilberto filio Gilberti, Galterio, Hervæo, Baldwino fratribus eius et Rohaisia sorore eorum”[640].

Guillaume de Jumièges records that one illegitimate daughter of King Henry I married "Matthæo filio Burchardi de Montemorenceio"[650]. Duchesne dates the marriage to 1126 but cites no source which provides the basis for this statement[651]. The necrology of Saint-Victor, Paris records the death "VIII Kal Mai" of "Alina uxor Mathei de Montemorenciaco"[652].

m secondly (1141) as her second husband, ADELAIDE de Maurienne, widow of LOUIS VI "le Gros" King of France, daughter of HUMBERT III "le Renforcé" Comte de Maurienne et de Savoie & his wife Gisèle de Bourgogne [Comté] ([1092]-Montmartre 18 Nov 1154, bur Montmartre, église abbatiale de Saint-Pierre). Her first marriage is recorded by Orderic Vitalis, who also names her father and her four oldest sons[653].

The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "regina Alaydis…soror Amadei comitis Sabaudie" as wife of "Ludovici Grossi"[655]. She exercised considerable influence over her husband, playing an active part in the downfall of Etienne de Garlande, Chancellor of France. After the accession of her son Louis VII in 1137, Adelaide conspired against Suger, Abbé de Saint-Denis, triggering a quarrel with her son who exiled her and her second husband to her lands in Compiègne. Her second marriage is confirmed by an undated charter which records a donation to the priory of Saint-Nicolas d’Acy, near Senlis made in the presence of "dominæ Adelæ reginæ et domini Mathei mariti eius"[656]. In 1153, she retired to the church of the Abbaye de Saint-Pierre at Montmartre, which she had founded[657].

Erard & his first wife had three children:

i) JEANNE de Montmorency (-1341).

iii) BLANCHE de Montmorency (-after 12 Mar 1340). Duchesne records that Blanche, wife of Guillaume [III] Seigneur de Chantilly, was Erard’s daughter by his first marriage (no sources cited), noting that his Histoire de Montmorency recorded her in error as the daughter of Erard’s second marriage[752]. The chronology of her husband’s family, compared with the younger Blanche’s marriage dated to [1330/37] (see below), suggests that this is correct, although insufficient data points are available to confirm this beyond doubt. A dispute between Guillaume Bishop of Paris and "messire Guillaume Bouteiller chevalier sire de Chantilly et Blanche de Montmorency sa femme" concerning “[le] port...et terre de Conflans” was settled by decision dated 12 Mar 1340[753]. m as his second wife, GUILLAUME [III] le Bouteiller de Senlis Seigneur de Chantilly, son of JEAN [I] le Bouteiller de Senlis Seigneur de Chantilly & his wife Jeanne d’Aunoy Dame de Moucy-le-Neuf (-[1333/40]).

A document dated 20 Feb 1389 (presumably O.S.) records "terram de Pouceyo in castellania de Meriaco supra Sequanam Trecencis diocesis” which “olim fuit...Mathei de Montmorency militis et dominæ Isabellæ eius uxoris ex...hereditagio dictæ dominæ”[762]. Mathieu & his wife had four children:

(1) PHILIPPA de Montmorency . A document dated 1366 records "messire Iaques de Beeloy chevalier” holding “comme ayant le bail de damoiselle Philippe de Montmorency sa femme...à Seucourt IX livres de cens...qui furent à messire Mahieu de Montmorency” from “Monsieur de Montmorency”[763].

(2) --- de Montmorency . m (before 28 Nov 1362) SIMON de la Queue, son of ---. A document dated 28 Nov 1362 records a settlement between the bishop of Paris and "messire Jaques de Belloy, Simon de la Queuë, Guion de Courlandon, tous heritiers de feu messire Mahieu de Montmorency” regarding payments relating to a donation of revenue at Conflans made in Oct 1326[766]. A document dated 19 Jan 1367 (O.S.) records "messire Simon de la Queuë chevalier” holding “à cause de sa femme en fiez...la moitié du chastel de Maffiers...” from “Monsieur de Montmorency”, in common with “Guiot de Courlandon et Blanche de Montmorency sa femme”[767].

(3) BLANCHE de Montmorency . A document dated 19 Jan 1367 (O.S.) records "messire Simon de la Queuë chevalier” holding “à cause de sa femme en fiez...la moitié du chastel de Maffiers...” from “Monsieur de Montmorency”, in common with “Guiot de Courlandon et Blanche de Montmorency sa femme”[768]. m (before 28 Nov 1362) GUY de Courlandon, son of ---.

(4) JEANNE de Montmorency . Her parentage is indicated and her marriage confirmed by the undated charter cited below under her husband, which also confirms that she predeceased him.

An undated document records "Jean de Montauglant chevelier” selling “la cinquiesme partie de la totalité...sur la terre de Conflans”, which had belonged to “madame Jeanne de Montmorency iadis femme dudit Jean de Montauglant chevalier” to the Bishop of Paris, according to a declaration made by “Guiot de Courlandon”[770].

viii) BLANCHE de Montmorency . The following documents confirm that Erard de Montmorency had a daughter named Blanche by his second wife and that she married after her father died, her marriage arranged by her brother. The chronology suggests that she is unlikely to have been the same person as Blanche, shown above as his daughter by his first wife. If that is correct, the husband of this Blanche has not been identified. An undated document, recording the judgment in favour of "messire Hue de Montmorency chevalier seigneur...de Beaussault..." against “messire Jehan dit Erart de Montmorency chevalier”, recites that “Monsieur Erart de Montmorency et Madame Climence de Muret” had six children “Jehan de Montmorency...Erart, Messire Mahieu, Hervieu, ledit Messire Jehan dit Erart, et Damoiselle Blanche”, noting that their brother Jean [I] arranged the marriages of “messire Mahieu son frere et...Blanche sa seur” and that Jean [I], under his Dec 1337 testament, bequeathed “les terres de Conflans et de Mastiers” to “[le]dit messire Mahieu son frere et à ladite Blanche sa suer” (adding that both of whom left children)[771]. m ([1330/37]) ---.

ix) JEAN ERARD de Montmorency (-[7 Sep 1379/1382]). The lack of provision for Jean Erard, reflected in later documents cited in this section connected with the family lawsuit, suggests that he was much younger than his siblings and maybe still a child when his father died. Maybe he was even born posthumously. An undated document, recording the judgment in favour of "messire Hue de Montmorency chevalier seigneur...de Beaussault..." against “messire Jehan dit Erart de Montmorency chevalier”, recites that “Monsieur Erart de Montmorency et Madame Climence de Muret” had six children “Jehan de Montmorency...Erart, Messire Mahieu, Hervieu, ledit Messire Jehan dit Erart, et Damoiselle Blanche”, adding that after their brother Erard died “ledit...Iehan-Erart” invaded “[le]dit chastel de Quierisy” without consent[772]. Documents in the court of the Parlement de Paris name “Ioannis-Erardi de Montemorenciaco miles frater et heres defuncti Erardi de Montemorenciaco” (1360), and record a claim by “Milo dominus de Bretigniaco” against “Ioannem Erardi de Montemor. dominus de Kerisiaco” (1368)[773]. The details of Jean Erard’s defence against his great-nephew Hugues’s claim are contained in another undated document[774]. A document dated 7 Sep 1379 records the king’s judgment in the claim by "Hugonem de Montemorenciaco militem dominum de Bellosaltu et de Bretolio...et Petrum de Montemorenciaco armigerum" against “Ioannem dictum Erart de Montemorenciaco militem”[775]. He is named as deceased in the 1382 documents cited below under his widow. m ELEONORE, daughter of --- (-after 1382). Documents in the court of the Parlement de Paris dated 1382 record “Elienordis relicta defuncti Ioannis de Montemorenciaco dicti Erart quondam militis” claiming against “Ioannem de Houssay et eius uxorem”[776].

c) JEANNE de Montmorency . The Lignages de Coucy (written in 1303) records that "Baudouyn", son "au conte Ernoul de Guignes" and his wife, married "la sœur du sieur de Montmorency"[777]. m BAUDOUIN de Guines Seigneur d’Ardres Châtelain de Bourbourg, son of ARNOUL [II] de Guines & his wife Alix de Coucy (-after 1293).

2. THIBAUT de Montmorency (-29 Dec, 1268 or after).

3. [BOUCHARD de Montmorency (-after Oct 1284). According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Bouchard was the son of Mathieu [III] de Montmorency and his wife Jeanne de Brienne[781].

Seigneur de Nangis, de iure uxoris. "Bouchars de Montmorency sires de Nangis" confirmed a sale of property, held “de nous pour reson de Phelippe nostre fame fille iadis feu Iehan Britaut chevalier”, by charter dated 1279[782]. m ([1260][783]) PHILIPPA Britaud, daughter of JEAN Britaud Seigneur de Nangis Constable of the kingdom of Sicily & his wife Marguerite --- (-after 1284).

4. HAWISE de Montmorency (-before Sep 1287). A charter dated Sep 1287 records that "damoisele Aales de Montmorenci" confirmed an obligation under the marriage contract between “monseigneur Anssel de Gallende chevalier sires iadis de Tournem en Brie” and “feu Haovys iadis sa fame fille iadis feu mon seigneur Bouchart iadis sires de Montmorenci et de Ysabel iadis fame d’icelui Bouchart”, and that “Iehan de Gallende escuier sires de Tournem” confirmed that “ladite feu Hauys estoit morte sans hoir propre de son corps”[787]. m ANSEAU [III] de Garlande Seigneur de Tournan, son of --- (-before Sep 1287).

7. [ALIX de Montmorency (-after May 1249). The late 13th century genealogy by Balduinus de Avennis records that "Rogerus", son of "Aelidis secunda filia...[Jacobus]" and "domino Rogero de Rosoy", married thirdly “filiam domini de Montmorenchi in Francia”[791]. From a chronological point of view, it appears likely that she was the daughter of Bouchard Seigneur de Montmorency. Her name is indicated by the following documents: “Roger Sr de Chaumont et de Rosoy chevalier et Alix sa femme” renounced rights in favour of Signy by charter dated Jun 1246[792]. “Rogiers sires de Rosoy et de Chaumont” granted rights to the inhabitants of Rozoy, with the consent of “Aelis ma famme”, by charter dated May 1249[793]. m as his third wife, ROGER de Rozoy, son of ROGER Seigneur de Rozoy & his wife Alix d’Avesnes (-killed in battle Fariskur 6 Apr 1250).]

Chapter 2. BEAUVAIS

A. COMTES de BEAUVAIS

Under the Merovingian Frankish kings, the town of Beauvais was governed by the defensor civitatis, appointed by the king, a position which until the mid-9th century is thought to have been filled by the bishop of Beauvais although the texts are lacking to prove that this was the case[849]. The county of Beauvais probably consisted of the former pagus Belvacensis, which lay south of the county of Amiens with the river Epte as its western boundary, and the pagus Vindoilensis to the east which was centred on Vendeuil[850]. The earliest reference to the Carolingian-created county of Beauvais is contained in a capitulary of Emperor Louis I dated 823, but it is not until a charter of King Louis IV dated 936 that we find the first reference to a named comte de Beauvais: "Bernardus Belvacensium comes"[851]. It has been suggested that the Carolingian comtes de Paris and comtes de Vermandois, to whom Comte Bernard was probably related (see the document CAROLINGIAN NOBILITY), governed Beauvais before that time, but once again the documentary proof is lacking[852]. In the early 11th century, the county was held by Eudes II Comte de Blois (see CENTRAL FRANCE NOBILITY), although it is unclear how and when the county came into his possession. Labande highlights the theory that Beauvais was the dowry of Luitgarde, daughter of Héribert II Comte de Vermandois, who was the paternal grandmother of Comte Eudes[853]. The primary source which confirms that this is correct has not been identified and the fit is not ideal from a chronological point of view: Luitgarde’s marriage to Thibaut I Comte de Blois is dated to [943/44], whereas Bernard Comte de Beauvais was probably still alive in 949. During the preparation of the present document, no references have been found in any of the primary sources consulted either to the county or any comte de Beauvais during the second half of the 10th century. This total absence of information suggests that the town was not governed by a hereditary count during this period, presumably because it was not considered strategically important either by the Carolingian king/emperors or by the counts who governed the neighbouring counties. The absence of a strong local ruler must have provided an opportunity for the bishops of Beauvais to consolidate their lay power in the town and county, although there are no surviving charters from this period which confirm the immunities and privileges of the bishopric of Beauvais[854]. Whatever the truth of the position, a charter dated 1015 records that Eudes II Comte de Blois donated part of the county of Beauvais to Bishop Roger[855], who was probably appointed to the bishopric in 998 after the death of Bishop Hervé. Thereafter the bishops of Beauvais were recognised as counts of Beauvais, as direct vassals of the king.

[Two] siblings:

1. BERNARD [III] (-[after 10 Nov 949]). Comte de Beauvais. A charter of King Louis IV dated 25 Jul 936 names "Bernardus Belvacensium comes"[856]. Flodoard records that "rex Ludowicus" besieged Reims with "Erluino…et Artoldo episcopi…comitibus quoque Bernardo ac Theoderico nepote ipsius" in 945 and reinstalled the bishop[857]. Hugo Floriacensis records that the king acted on bad advice from "Bernardi comitis Silvanectensis et alterius Bernardui Rothomagensis" which resulted in his defeat by "pagano Aygroldo regi Danorum" in 945[858]. It is possible that one of these counts named Bernard was the same person as the comte de Beauvais. He may also be identical to the king's adviser who is recorded in 10 Nov 949.

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

a) [THEODERIC [Thierry] (-after 949). Flodoard records that "rex Ludowicus" besieged Reims with "Erluino…et Artoldo episcopi…comitibus quoque Bernardo ac Theoderico nepote ipsius" in 945 and reinstalled the bishop[859]. Flodoard records that "Dodo frater domini Artoldi cum fidelibus ipsius et Theodericus comes" besieged "Altmontem" [Omont] in 949[860].]

Two siblings:

1. ROGER (-24 Jun 1022). Gallia Christiana notes that Bishop Roger is alleged to have been the son of "Odone comite Blesensi et Bertha filia Conradi Burgundiae", and that “patruum habuit Hugonem archiepiscopum Bituriecensem, avunculus ex sorore Elvisa Odolrici episcopi Aurelianensis”, but adds that "contra aiunt quidam, nulla exstare vetera instrumenta, quibus adstruatur stemma illud genealogicum"[861]. A charter dated 1028 of Robert II King of France, confirming donations to Notre-Dame de Colombes, names "Aurelianensium præsul Odolricus" and "iamdicti Odolrici præsulis avunculus Rogerius Belvacensis episcopus"[862]. "Rogerius notarius regis" wrote the charter dated 14 Jun [988] under which Hugues King of France confirmed the privileges of the abbey of Sainte-Colombe de Sens[863]. Chancellor of France. "Rogerius Protocancellarius" subscribed the charter dated [996] under which Hugues King of France and his son Robert II King of France confirmed the foundation of the monastery of Bourgeuil[864]. The Vita Burchardi names "Rogerius Cancellarius" [of King Robert II] and adds that he was later appointed bishop "in urbe Belvacensi", in the context of a donation by the king to the abbey of Noisy-le-Sec[865]. Seigneur du château de Nogent-le-Roi. Bishop of Beauvais [998]. “...Rogerus Belvacensium episcopus...” subscribed the charter dated to [1008] under which Robert II King of France confirmed donations to Saint-Denis[866]. Comte de Beauvais 1015. "Odonis…comitis" [Eudes II Comte de Blois] donated part of the county of Beauvais to "Rogerius sanctæ Belvacensis sedis…pontifex", recorded in the charter dated 1015 under which Robert II King of France confirmed the donation[867]. One of the continuators of Sigebert records that "Rogero episcopo" was given "comitatus Beluacensis" in 1015 and died in 1024, confirming that he had exchanged "castro Syncerrio in Bituricensi territorio sito" for the county of Beauvais (which is not mentioned in the 1015 charter)[868]. The later Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines also states that Comte Eudes granted Beauvais to the bishop and received in return the castle of Sancerre "sui patrimonii in dyocesi Bituricensi"[869]. The necrology of Beauvais records the death "VIII Kal Jul" of "Rotgerius presul" and his donations to the church of properties "in pago Normannico Alliacum et in Vermandensi Montiacum"[870]. The Continuatio of Sigebert's Chronica written in Beauvais records the death in 1024 of “in Gallia Beluacensi urbe...Rogerius...episcopus” who had donated “inter alia...æcclesiæ sancti Petri...Alliacum in Northmannia et Montiacum in Vermandensi patria”, adding that he had acquired “comitatum...eiusdem urbis” from “Odone Campaniensi comite” in exchange for “castro Syncerrio in Bituricensi territorio sito”[871].

2. HELOISE (-Jan ----). The Vita of St Gregory Archbishop of Nikopolis records "nobilis matrona Allvisa" in "Pithiueris" as mother of "Odolricum", specifying that Odolric was "unigenitum suum" in relation to his mother[872]. Labande confirms that Odolric was the son of Rainard de Broyes seigneur de Pithiviers and his wife Héloise[873]. Her family origin is confirmed by charter dated 1028 of Robert II King of France, confirming donations to Notre-Dame de Colombes, which names her son "Aurelianensium præsul Odolricus" and "iamdicti Odolrici præsulis avunculus Rogerius Belvacensis episcopus"[874]. The necrology of Pithiviers Saint-Georges records the death in Jan of "dominæ Heloysiæ quondam ducissæ Aurelianensis", adding that she founded the church[875]. The anachronistic "ducissa" indicates that the record was not contemporary, although it provides some indication of the relative importance accorded to her family in the region. m as his second wife, RAINARD, son of ---. Seigneur de Pithiviers.

C. SEIGNEURS de BRETEUIL

Breteuil is situated in the arrondissement of Clermont, in the present-day French département of Oise. From the early 11th century, it is recorded as one of the holdings of the family who were also Vicomtes de Chartres (see the document CENTRAL FRANCE NOBILITY). Erard [II] de Breteuil Vicomte de Chartres resigned his holdings to enter the monastic life in 1073, when his properties were divided between his brothers: Hugues du Puiset succeeded as vicomte de Chartres, while Valéran [I] retained Breteuil. The history of the family is relatively straight-forward until the succession of his great-grandson Valéran [III] in 1147. The primary sources which have been identified indicate that Valéran [III] married twice, leaving two daughters by his first marriage and one by his second. Breteuil eventually passed to his youngest daughter Amicie. The inheritance of Breteuil after the death of Amicie is discussed in detail in the introduction to Part D of the present chapter.

VALERAN [I] de Breteuil, son of ERARD [I] Comte de Breteuil, Vicomte de Chartres & his wife Humberge --- (-after 25 Feb 1084). Seigneur de Breteuil. Co-seigneur de Creil. His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 1077 under which "Waleranni…possessor in Francia castri…Bretulii" granted property for the love of "germanique mei fratris Ebrardi" who recently became a monk at Saint-Martin de Turenne, witnessed by "Ursione vicedomino Belvacensi et possessore Girbereici castri, Elia cognato eius…"[889].

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

Valeran [I] & his wife had three children:

1. VALERAN [II] de Breteuil (-after 1124). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified. Seigneur de Breteuil. “Gualeranus de Britolio” donated “altare du Tilz” [Notre-Dame-du-Thil] to Beauvais Saint-Quentin, in the presence of “Ebrardus filius meus et filia mea Emelina”, by charter dated [15] Mar (“XVIII Kal Apr”) 1118[890]. "Galéran de Breteuil, Ivette son épouse et Eberard leur fils" consented to the donation by Robert de Membroles to the abbey of Josaphat-lès-Chartres, confirmed by Louis VI King of France by charter dated 1124[891]. m JUDITH [Ivette], daughter of ---. “Nobilis femina Judidta” donated “terram...Limaurion” to the monastery of Notre-Dame de Josaphat by charter dated 1123, which names “Ebrardum Judidte ex Galeranno de Britullio filium”[892]. [Henry I King of England confirmed the foundation of Conches by "Rogerius senior de Toenio et filius eius Radulphus senex et Radulphus juvenis filius prædicti Radulphi senis et Rogerius filius Radulphi juvenis", quoting the donation of “ecclesiam...de Haracaville” [Hacqueville] made by "Ebrardus Britholensium dominus" with the consent of "Ineta matre mea", dated to [1130][893]. On the other hand, another charter records this donation made by Erard [III] and his wife: "Ebrard seigneur de Breteuil et Ivette son épouse" donated the church of Hacqueville to the abbey of Conches by charter dated to [1129/64][894]. It is not known which charter represents the truth.] The charter dated 1150, under which Thierry Bishop of Amiens confirmed agreements with “Manassem dominum castelli Conteiensis et Johannem filius ipsius [...quarte partis quartam portionem] et Everardum de Britolio [...quarte...partis...concedente...filiis suis Gualeranno et Hugone] et Petrum de Velana [...octavum parte]” concerning "vicecomitatu villarum...de Dommeliers, de Dommorez, de Vacaria, de Bonoculo, de Fontanis", half of which was held by the church and the other half “de feodo domini Conteiensis”[895], suggests a family connection between the Breteuil and Conty families. It is possible that this was through the wife of Valéran [II] de Breteuil. Valéran [II] & his wife had three children:

a) ERARD [III] de Breteuil (-killed in battle Laodicea 1147). “Nobilis femina Judidta” donated “terram...Limaurion” to the monastery of Notre-Dame de Josaphat by charter dated 1123, which names “Ebrardum Judidte ex Galeranno de Britullio filium”[896]. Comte de Breteuil.

- see below.

b) SENEGONDE de Breteuil (-[1113]). Ives Bishop of Chartres wrote to Lisiard Bishop of Soissons, dated to [1113/14], objecting to the proposed marriage of “Petri filii Gervasii” and “filiæ Waleranni Brituliensis”, because “Sinegundis...soror hujus juvenculæ” had been the wife of Pierre[897]. m (before 1113) PIERRE de Châteauneuf, son of GERVAIS de Châteauneuf & his wife Mabile de Montgommery.

c) EMMELINE de Breteuil (-after [15] Mar 1118). Ives Bishop of Chartres wrote to Lisiard Bishop of Soissons, dated to [1113/14], objecting to the proposed marriage of “Petri filii Gervasii” and “filiæ Waleranni Brituliensis”, because “Sinegundis...soror hujus juvenculæ” had been the wife of Pierre[898]. “Gualeranus de Britolio” donated “altare du Tilz” [Notre-Dame-du-Thil] to Beauvais Saint-Quentin, in the presence of “Ebrardus filius meus et filia mea Emelina”, by charter dated [15] Mar (“XVIII Kal Apr”) 1118[899].

2. GAUTHIER de Breteuil (-killed in battle Nikaia [1097]). Albert of Aix records that the crusaders arrived at "urbem Nizh" and requested supplies from "ducem Nichitam principem Bulgarorum" who was then in the town, and were obliged to give him as hostages "Walterus filius Waleramni de Bretul castello…juxta Belvatium et Godefridus Burel de Stampis", who were returned safely after the crusading army passed on[900]. Albert of Aix records that "Petrus, Reinoldus de Breis, Walterus filius Waleramni de Bretoil, Godefridus Burel, Folcherus Aureliensis" regrouped with 500 men on a mountain after the crusaders were attacked by "ducem Nichitam principem Bulgarorum" outside "urbem Nizh" before proceeding on their way[901]. Albert of Aix records that "Reinoldum de Breis, Walterum Senzavohir, Walterum quoque de Bretol et Folkerum Aureliensem", leaders of the army of Pierre l’Hermite, refused to counter-attack the Turks after the crusading army was first defeated at Nikaia and were declared cowardly by "Godefridus…Burel" leader of the foot soldiers, which spurred them into action, but that "Walterus Senzavohir…Reinoldus de Breis, Folerus Carnotensis" were killed in the ensuing battle[902].

3. THIBAUT de Breteuil "le chevalier blanc" (-killed in battle [1090]). Orderic Vitalis records that "Tedbaldus, Gualeranni de Britolio filius […candidus eques], et Guido Rubicundus" were killed in battle in Normandy, dated to 1090 from the context[903].

ERARD [III] de Breteuil, son of VALERAN [II] Seigneur de Breteuil & his wife Ivette [Judith] --- (-killed in battle Laodicea 19 Jan 1148). “Gualeranus de Britolio” donated “altare du Tilz” [Notre-Dame-du-Thil] to Beauvais Saint-Quentin, in the presence of “Ebrardus filius meus et filia mea Emelina”, by charter dated [15] Mar (“XVIII Kal Apr”) 1118[904]. “Nobilis femina Judidta” donated “terram...Limaurion” to the monastery of Notre-Dame de Josaphat by charter dated 1123, which names “Ebrardum Judidte ex Galeranno de Britullio filium”[905]. Comte de Breteuil. Henry I King of England confirmed the foundation of Conches by "Rogerius senior de Toenio et filius eius Radulphus senex et Radulphus juvenis filius prædicti Radulphi senis et Rogerius filius Radulphi juvenis", quoting the donation “ecclesiam...de Haracaville” [Hacqueville] made by "Ebrardus Britholensium dominus" with the consent of "Ineta matre mea", dated to [1130][906]. As noted below, another charter records Erard [III] making this donation with his wife. “Miles Evrardus Britulensium dominus et filii eius Walerannus, Evrardus...avocaturam et vicecomitatum” donated property “in villa et in terra de Tilleto” to Lannoy abbey by charter dated to [1136][907]. Odon Bishop of Beauvais confirmed donations to Lannoy, including the donation of property “in villa et in terra Teoleti” made by “Everardus Britolii dominus et filii eius Walerannus, Everardus et Hugo”, by charter dated 1140[908]. “Dominus Brituliensis Ebrardus” donated “partem suam vicecomitatus...in terris et villis matris ecclesie Ambianensis” to Amiens Notre-Dame in the same way that "Manasses dominus Conteiensis" donated his part, with the consent of "filiis suis Gualeranno et Ebrardo", by charter dated to [1142][909]. “Manasses dominus Conteiensis” donated property “de vicecomitatu villarum de Dommeliers, de Dommorez, de Vaccaria, de Bonoculo, de Fontainis” to Amiens, in the presence of "Brituliensi domino Ebrardo", with the consent of "conjunx mea Eufemia et frater meus Rainaldus", by charter dated to [1142][910]. The History of Louis VII King of France names "…Evrardus de Britolio…" among those who accompanied King Louis VII on crusade in 1147[911]. William of Tyre records "comes Guarenna...Galcherius de Montiay, Evrardus de Bretol, Berus de Magnac…" among those killed in battle at Laodicea, in early 1148 (N.S.)[912].

m firstly (repudiated 1130) BEATRIX de Coucy, daughter of THOMAS Comte d’Amiens, Seigneur de Coucy & his first wife Ida de Hainaut (-after 1156). The Annales Lobienses refer to the two daughters of "Thomam de Marla" & his wife, specifying that one (unnamed, mentioned second) married "Evrardus de Bretullie" by whom she was mother of "Evrardum et Gualerannum cum aliis"[913]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to the other of the two daughters of "Thomam de Cocy" as the husband was "Everardus de Bretulio"[914]. "Ebrardus Britulensium dominus" names his wife Beatrix and his sons “Galeran et Ebrard” in a charter in favour of Charlis abbey[915]. Pope Lucius II ordered an enquiry into the consanguinity between “Ebrardus de Britolio”, who had just returned from Jerusalem, and “filiam...Thomæ de Marna”, presumably with a view to regularise Erard’s second marriage, dated 16 Jun 1144[916].

m secondly [IVETTE], daughter of --- (-[before 1147]). The name of Erard’s second wife is uncertain. ["Ebrard seigneur de Breteuil et Ivette son épouse" donated the church of Hacqueville to the abbey of Conches by charter dated to [1129/64][917]. On the other hand, another charter records this donation made by Erard [III] and his mother: Henry I King of England confirmed the foundation of Conches by "Rogerius senior de Toenio et filius eius Radulphus senex et Radulphus juvenis filius prædicti Radulphi senis et Rogerius filius Radulphi juvenis", quoting the donation of “ecclesiam...de Haracaville” [Hacqueville] made by "Ebrardus Britholensium dominus" with the consent of "Ineta matre mea", dated to [1130][918]. It is not known which charter represents the truth.] Her family origin is not known. However, as noted below, no indication has yet been found about how Hugues, son of Erard [III] Seigneur de Breteuil, acquired the seigneurie de Crèvecœur. One possibility is that he was the son of his father’s second marriage, his second wife being the heiress of an earlier Crèvecœur family. Pope Lucius II ordered an enquiry into the consanguinity between “Ebrardus de Britolio”, who had just returned from Jerusalem, and “filiam...Thomæ de Marna”, presumably with a view to regularise Erard’s second marriage, dated 16 Jun 1144[919].

Erard [III] & his first wife had two children:

1. VALERAN [III] de Breteuil (-[1162]). “Miles Evrardus Britulensium dominus et filii eius Walerannus, Evrardus...avocaturam et vicecomitatum” donated property “in villa et in terra de Tilleto” to Lannoy abbey by charter dated to [1136][920]. Odon Bishop of Beauvais confirmed donations to Lannoy, including the donation of property “in villa et in terra Teoleti” made by “Everardus Britolii dominus et filii eius Walerannus, Everardus et Hugo”, by charter dated 1140[921]. “Dominus Brituliensis Ebrardus” donated “partem suam vicecomitatus...in terris et villis matris ecclesie Ambianensis” to Amiens Notre-Dame in the same way that "Manasses dominus Conteiensis" donated his part, with the consent of "filiis suis Gualeranno et Ebrardo", by charter dated to [1142][922]. Seigneur de Breteuil. m firstly HOLDEBURGE Dame d'Ailly-sur-Noye et de Tartigny, daughter of --- [Seigneur d’Ailly-sur-Noye] & his wife Beatrix de Bulles (-after 24 Jun 1156). A charter dated 1153 records that “Galerannum de Britoglio” donated property at Champmartin at Rueil-sur-Bèche to Froidmont abbey, with the consent of “Hugone fratre suo...et Holdeburge uxore Galeranni, Aalsi et Mathilde filiabus eius”[923]. “Holdeburgis domina Britoglii” on her deathbed donated the tolls of Hermes-sur-le-Thérain to Variville priory, with the consent of “Beatricis matris sue...domini Waleranni Britolii predicte Holdeburgis mariti”, by charter dated 24 Jun 1156[924]. m secondly ([1156/60]) as her first husband, ALIX de Dreux, daughter of ROBERT [I] Seigneur de Dreux et du Perche [Capet] & his first wife Hawise de Salisbury ([1145/46]-[Jan 1205/Mar 1210], bur église collégiale de Dreux). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Alaydam" as the daughter of "comitem de Brana Robertum domnum" & his first wife, naming her first husband "Gallerano de Bertuilh", her second husband "Guidone de Castellone", her third husband "Iohanne castellano Noviomensi" and her fourth husband "comite Suessionensi"[925]. She married secondly (1161) Guy [II] Seigneur de Châtillon-sur-Marne, thirdly Jean [I] Seigneur de Thourotte Châtelain de Noyon et de Coucy, and fourthly (1182 or before) as his first wife, Raoul de Nesle Comte de Soissons. Valéran [III] & his first wife had [four or more] children:

a) ALIX de Breteuil (-after [1195/97], bur Variville). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "comitissam Clarimontis Belvacensis et uxorem Symonis Clarimontis et Emiciam" as the three daughters of "Alaydis [filia comitem de Brana Robertum domnum]" & her first husband[926], although it appears chronologically impossible for Alix, wife of Raoul Comte de Clermont, to have been the daughter of Valeran [III] by his second wife. The correct parentage of Alix and her sister Mathilde is confirmed by the charter dated 1153 which records that “Galerannum de Britoglio” donated property at Champmartin at Rueil-sur-Bèche to Froidmont abbey, with the consent of “Hugone fratre suo...et Holdeburge uxore Galeranni, Aalsi et Mathilde filiabus eius”[927]. Lépinois dates her marriage to [1153/55], but this appears to be little more than guesswork[928]. Dame de Breteuil. "Adelidis uxor …" consented to the donation by "Radulfus…comes Clarimontis" to the abbey of Notre-Dame d'Ourscamp by charter dated 1162[929]. "R…comes Clarimontis et dominus Brituliensis…et Aeliz comitissam uxorem meam" confirmed the donation to the church of Breteuil by "Sangalo de Garda Malgerii, Henricus filius eius" by undated charter, witnessed by "Albericus Domni Martini comes et Mahaux soror mea, Domni Martini comitissa, Rainaldus castellanus Britulii…"[930]. "Radulphus…comes Clarimontis" donated harvest from property "apid Credulium" to Paris Hôtel-Dieu, with the consent of "uxore mea comitissa Aaliz et filiabus meis…Catalina et Aaliz", by charter dated 1177[931]. "Adelidis uxoris mee…" consented to two donations by "Radulfus comes Claromonensis" to the abbey of Notre-Dame d'Ourscamp by charters dated 1178[932]. "Uxore mea Aelis…" consented to the donation by "Radulfus comes Clarimontis" to the abbey of Notre-Dame d'Ourscamp by charter dated 1182[933]. "Aelidis comitissa Claromontis et domina Britulli" confirmed the donation to the church of Breteuil by "Hugo de Garda" by charter dated 1194, witnessed by "Radulphus de Ailli nepos meus…Manasses de Conti…" and confirmed another donation by "Hugo de Crepicordio frater patris mei Galeranni" for the soul of "Petronille filie sue" and confirmed after his death by "Heverardus eius filius successor et heres"[934]. m (before 1162) RAOUL "le Roux" Comte de Clermont, son of RENAUD Comte de Clermont-en-Beauvaisis & his second wife Clémence de Bar (-killed in battle Acre 15 Oct 1191). Seigneur de Breteuil 1163. Connétable de France.

b) MATHILDE de Breteuil (-14 Mar 1208). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "comitissam Clarimontis Belvacensis et uxorem Symonis Clarimontis et Emiciam" as the three daughters of "Alaydis [filia comitem de Brana Robertum domnum]" & her first husband[935], although it appears chronologically unlikely for Mathilde, wife of Simon de Clermont, to have been the daughter of Valeran [III] by his second wife. The correct parentage of Alix and her sister Mathilde is confirmed by the charter dated 1153 which records that “Galerannum de Britoglio” donated property at Champmartin at Rueil-sur-Bèche to Froidmont abbey, with the consent of “Hugone fratre suo...et Holdeburge uxore Galeranni, Aalsi et Mathilde filiabus eius”[936]. Dame d’Ailly: [the widow of her grandson] “Gertrudis domina Alliaci...Joannes filius meus” confirmed the donation of land “apud Beeleuses in decima quam emit Matilidis de Alliaco mater predicti Radulfi” made by “Radulfus de Claromonte quondam maritus meus” by charter dated 1225[937]. “Radulfus...comes Clarimontis et dominus Britolii” reached agreement with Lannoy abbey over “feodis meis in Montania”, with the consent of “uxore mea comitissa Aeliza et filia mea Katerina et fratre meo Symone cum uxore sua Matilde”, by charter dated 1174[938]. "Dnus Symon de Alliaco" donated property to Saint-Leu d’Esserent, with the consent of "Matildis uxor eius et filii eius Radulfus et Guido et Dnus Robertus de Bova", by charter dated to before 1191, but received 1193, signed by "Rodulfus comes de Claromonte…"[939]. m SIMON de Clermont Seigneur de'Ailly-sur-Noye, son of RENAUD Comte de Clermont-en-Beauvaisis & his [second wife Clémence ---] (-after 1187).

c) sons . A charter dated 1221, under which “Amicia domina Bretolii” confirmed donations of harvest at Breteuil to the church of Saint-Just for the souls of “ses fils et de ses filles, de ses frères et sœurs”[940], shows that Amicie had brothers, who presumably all died young.

Valéran [III] & his second wife had one child:

d) AMICIE de Breteuil ([1157/62]-[Sep/Oct] 1226). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "comitissam Clarimontis Belvacensis et uxorem Symonis Clarimontis et Emiciam" as the three daughters of "Alaydis [filia comitem de Brana Robertum domnum]" & her first husband[941]. As noted above, other sources indicate that Valéran’s first wife was the mother of the two older daughters. However, the charter dated Mar 1201, under which "Gaucherus de Castellione dominus de Mongai" [identified as Gaucher [III] de Châtillon, future comte de Saint-Pol, son of Alix de Dreux by her second marriage] confirmed a donation to Saint-Denis by “sororio meo Balduino de Donion et...sorori meæ Amiciæ” by charter dated Mar 1201[942], indicates that Amicie was Alix’s daughter. One difficulty is presented by the charter dated Jul 1223, quoted below, which confirms that Amicie inherited the seigneurie de Blanc-Fossé from Manassès de Bulles her “avunculus”. It has not yet proved possible to identify the precise family relationship between Manassès and Amicie, although three possibilities are suggested in the present document none of which is entirely satisfactory (as a possible son of Erard [III] Seigneur de Breteuil by his second wife, or the as same person as either Manassès [V] de Conty or Manassès [VI] de [Conty-]Bulles both of whom are shown in the section of this document dealing with the seigneurs de Conty). "Balduinus de Dongione et...Amicia uxor eius" donated property “quod dominus Gaucherius de Castillione feodum” to Saint-Denis by charter dated Mar 1201[943]. Gallia Christiana states that “Guillelmus de Donjeon ex comitibus Nivernensis oriundus, Mathildis comitissæ Nivernensis dominæ Donziaci avunculus (forte patruus)” had “fratrem...Baldudinum de Hiere” who donated property to “Sacro-Portui seu Barbello Cisterciensis ordinis...monasterio” when leaving for Jerusalem with the consent of “A. uxore et I & Ferrico filiis”, but cites no primary source on which this information is based[944]. Du Bouchet, presumably referring to the same donation, states that “Baudouin du Donjon” donated property to Barbeaux abbey on leaving on pilgrimage, with the consent of his wife “Amicie de Chastillon...de Jean et Ferry ses enfans et de Guillaume son frere Archevesque de Bourges” by charter dated 1203[945]. “Amicia uxor quondam Baudoini de Donjun” donated “censu meo...apud Domnum Martinum” to Chaalis, with the consent of “Dni Johannis Briardi presentis viri mei”, by charter dated 1213[946]. “Symon de Pissyaco [...et Agnes uxor mea] et...Johannes Briart [...et Amitia uxor mea]” confirmed a donation to Vaux de Cernay by charter dated 1214[947]. She succeeded her great nephew Thibaut VI Comte de Blois as Dame de Breteuil in 1218.

Seigneur de Crèvecœur. No indication has yet been found about how Hugues acquired the seigneurie de Crèvecœur. One possibility is that he was the son of his father’s second wife, whose family origin is unknown but who may have been related to the earlier Crèvecœur families who are shown in the document NORMANDY NOBILITY-AVRANCHES, BAYEUX, COTENTIN. “Hugo de Crevecuer...et uxor mea Ada et filii mei et filiæ meæ omnes...Ebrardus, Ingelranus, Matilda, Sara et Petronilla” donated “terra de Mormaisons” to Beauvais Saint-Lucien by undated charter[957].

Erard [III] & his second wife had [two] children:

5. [MANASSES de Bulles (-[1222/Jul 1223]). This is only one possible identity of Manassès de Bulles who is named in the 1222 and Jul 1223 charters which are quoted below (the others so far identified are Manassès [V] de Conty and Manassès [VI] de [Conty-]Bulles, who are both shown in the section of the present document which deals with the seigneurs de Conty). It is the possibility which most strictly respects Manassès being described as “avunculus” of Amicie de Breteuil, and it is possible that a son of the second marriage of Erard [III] de Breteuil would still have been alive in 1222 although he would have been old. However, there is no other indication that the Breteuil family held a share in the Bulles inheritance. This had been divided between the Mello and Conty families after the death of Renaud Seigneur de Bulles after 1167, and it is difficult to see how the Breteuil family could have acquired a share subsequently either through the second wife of Erard [III] de Breteuil or in some other way. It is true that the family origin of Erard’s second wife has not been identified, but as noted above there is some likelihood that she was connected with Crèvecœur. Another difficulty is that the name Manassès features in both the Conty and Mello families, which further complicates the conclusive identification of Manassès Seigneur de Blanc-Fossé. No earlier reference has yet been found to the seigneurie de Blanc-Fossé (located in the Beauvaisis), so there is no indication whether it formed part of the holdings of the Bulles, Breteuil, Conty or Mello families. Dion names “Manassès dit de Bulles seigneur de Blanc-Fossé, dont Ascelin et Henri morts sans postérité” as the son of Erard [III] by his second wife[960]. However, it is not clear from his text that he had analysed all the different possibilities, including the connection between the Conty family and the Bulles inheritance, before making this statement. He does not cite the primary source which names Manassès’s two supposed children. Seigneur de Blanc-Fossé: “Manasserus de Bullis miles dominus de Albo Fossato” donated “vingt journaux de bois en la vallée de Paillart” to Hôtel-Dieu de Beauvais by charter dated 1222[961]. He appointed as his heir Amicie Dame de Breteuil: “Amicia domina Britulii” confirmed the donation made by “dominus Manasserus de Bullis avunculus meus, de Albo Fossato dominus, ad ultimum vite sue”, adding that she was “in hereditate dicti Manasseri, avunculi mei, jure hereditario”, by charter dated Jul 1223[962].]

6. ERMENGARDE de Breteuil (-after 1193). The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified. Dion says that Ermengarde was “en 1193 veuve d’un seigneur dont le nom ne nous est pas connu et avait pour enfants: Gervais, Raoul, clercs; Isabeau, Alice et Mathilde” but he does not cite the corresponding primary source[963]. She founded the abbey of Froidmont[964]. m --- (-after 1193).

D. SEIGNEURS de BRETEUIL (BEAUSAULT)

The relationship between Amicie, third and youngest daughter of Valéran [III] Seigneur de Breteuil, and her successors in Breteuil is uncertain. Valéran [III] left three daughters. The heirs of the oldest daughter Alix, who had married Raoul Comte de Clermont, governed Breteuil as well as the county of Clermont, until 1218 when Alix’s grandson Thibaut VI Comte de Blois died. The French crown then acquired Clermont, while Thibaut’s maternal great-aunt Amicie succeeded in Breteuil. It is not known what arrangements were made at the time to compensate the descendants of Mathilde, the second daughter of Valéran [III] who had married Simon younger brother of Raoul Comte de Clermont, for the loss of Breteuil. Amicie died in [Sep/Oct] 1226. Within a few weeks, by charter dated Nov 1226, “Simon de Bellosaltu, Clementia uxor eius et Johenna de Argies” repurchased “terræ Britholii, de dicto rege moventis” for 3,000 Parisian pounds, saving “pactionibus quas Amicia domina Britholii” had made “cum domino rege”[965]. It is assumed that the joint purchasers, Clémence wife of Simon de Beausault and Jeanne de Dargies, were sisters although the relationship is not specified in the document. It is not known what was the nature of the agreements ("pactionibus") which Amicie made with the king before she died.

On the basis of the primary sources which have so far been identified, the following are the only facts which are certain in this situation:

· Clémence and Jeanne were closely related to Amicie, probably her nearest natural heirs. This is confirmed by the transfer of the seigneurie de Blanc-Fossé, which Amicie had inherited from her “uncle”: “Amicia domina Britulii” confirmed the donation made by “dominus Manasserus de Bullis avunculus meus, de Albo Fossato dominus [Seigneur de Blanc-Fossé], ad ultimum vite sue”, adding that she was “in hereditate dicti Manasseri, avunculi mei, jure hereditario”, by charter dated Jul 1223[966]. A charter dated 1233 shows that Blanc-Fossé was then held by “Hugo de Dargies miles dominus de Albo Fossato, frater Simonis”[967], who is identified as a younger son of Jeanne de Dargies.

· The sisters were also closely related to the Clermont family. “Simon de Dargies miles dominus Britolii” [the son of Jeanne de Dargies] confirmed donations of harvest “de prato in granchia de Tartigny” made to Beaupré by “dominus Radulfus de Claramonte quondam avunculus meus...cognatus meus Radulfus de Claromonte miles filius predicti domini Radulfi” by charter dated Apr 1243[968]. It is assumed that this document refers to Raoul de Clermont, son of Simon de Clermont, and his son Raoul. It is unlikely that it refers to Raoul Comte de Clermont, married to Alix de Breteuil, as the donor is not accorded the comital title in the charter.

· Arrangements had already been made for the inheritance of Breteuil even before Amicie died, which does suggest that none of her children had survived. “Radulfus de Claromonte” [Raoul de Clermont, son of Simon de Clermont and his wife Mathilde de Breteuil] agreed with Louis VIII King of France to renounce his claims “in comitatu Clarimontis”, with the consent of “Johannes et Simon filii mei”, in return for the king recognising his acquisition of “eschaetæ Amiciæ dominæ Britolii de terra Britolii et eius pertinentiiis tam feodis quam domaniis” if he lived “post decessum Amiciæ predictæ”, by charter dated Nov 1223[969]. The king was at that stage planning to grant the county of Clermont to his half-brother Philippe "Hurepel". He needed the renunciation of all the possible claimants to the county, including Raoul, to avoid later challenges. It cannot be concluded definitively from this document that Amicie had no surviving children: given the pressure relating to Clermont, the king needed Breteuil to provide convenient compensation for obtaining Raoul’s consent and he may have been willing to deprive Amicie’s natural heirs of their inheritance in order to do so. It should be noted that neither Clémence’s nor Jeanne’s husband was nobility of the highest order, so presumably they would have had little influence in the matter. Raoul de Clermont died before Amicie, so the condition imposed in the 1223 document failed and the king was then free to sell Breteuil to whomever he chose.

· Breteuil escheated to the French crown when Amicie died: it is described in the Nov 1226 charter as “terræ Britholii, de dicto rege moventis”. This suggests that Amicie had no surviving children.

· Amicie did have children. “Amicia domina Bretolii” confirmed donations of harvest at Breteuil to the church of Saint-Just for the souls of “ses fils et de ses filles, de ses frères et sœurs” by charter dated 1221[970]. From this extract, in French translation, it appears that all her children were deceased at the time as they are mentioned before Amicie’s brothers and sisters, all of whom were dead. However, this conclusion is proved incorrect by the charter dated Jun 1221 under which “Amicie dame de Breteuil” donated “une rente de cent livres sur le péage de Francastel” to “son fils Guillaume de Donjon frère et chevalier de l’hôpital de Jerusalem” and the knights[971]. Presumably Guillaume de Donjon died before the charter dated Nov 1223 referred to above, otherwise he would have been the natural heir to Breteuil (unless his succession was excluded because he was a knight hospitaller).

There appear to be two possibilities concerning the parentage of the sisters Clémence and Jeanne: either they were daughters of Mathilde de Breteuil and her husband Simon de Clermont, or they were children of Amicie. Daniel Power opts for the first possibility: he assumes that Amicie died childless and that Clémence and Jeanne were the sisters of Raoul de Clermont, son of Simon de Clermont[972]. However, in this scenario succession to Breteuil by Raoul de Clermont’s sisters seems surprising given that his sons would have been deprived of their apparently superior claim. Nevertheless, this hypothesis appears consistent with all the known facts set out above, and is probably the safer conclusion. It is what is shown below in the present section, but in square brackets to indicate that doubt persists, as the possibility of Amicie leaving children cannot be excluded entirely. Concerning the second possibility, Dion (who made a special study of the seigneurs de Breteuil) identified Clémence and Jeanne as Amicie’s daughters[973]. However, he identified Amicie’s second husband Jean Briard as their father. From a chronological point of view this is impossible: the younger sister Jeanne is recorded in 1194 as the mother of two sons (in a charter which Dion did not cite in his study), whereas Amicie was still married to her first husband Baudouin de Donjon in 1201. The chronology dictates that the sisters were born before [1175/80] at the latest. If they were Amicie’s daughters, they must have been born from her marriage to Baudouin or, more likely considering the indication of blood relationship with the Clermont family mentioned above, from an earlier otherwise unrecorded husband of Amicie who would presumably have been one of the other younger brothers of Raoul Comte de Clermont.

The part of Breteuil which was inherited by Clémence eventually passed to a younger branch of the Montmorency family, while the Dargies family sold its share to their Beausault cousins in 1261.

F. SEIGNEURS de BULLES

The town of Bulles is located twelve kilometres north-east of Clermont in the Beauvaisis. It was granted by the bishops of Beauvais to the abbey of Saint-Lucien de Beauvais but wrongly appropriated by Ascelin de Bulles in [1030][1087]. It was inherited by his daughter who married Hugues [I] Comte de Dammartin. That couple’s daughter married Lancelin [II] de Beauvais, who inherited the seigneurie. After the death of his four sons, presumably all childless, the seigneurie was inherited as co-heirs by Guillaume Seigneur de Mello and two representatives of the family of the seigneurs de Conty. The exact family relationships are unclear. An attempt has been made below to reconcile the information in the charters in which the seigneurs de Bulles are named in the late 12th and early 13th centuries but it is not certain that this is correct.

[Five] siblings, parents not known:

1. ASCELIN de Bulles (-after 1078). "Ascelinus de Buglis casatus ecclesie Belvacensis" is named in a charter dated 1030[1088]. Seigneur de Bulles. “Ascelin de Bulles et Mathieu son frère et Hubert son neveu” are named in an undated charter of the abbey of Saint-Lucien[1089]. “Hugo de Crevecuer” donated “terre...de feodo de Crevecuer apud Riencort” inherited from “Ascelino de Bules et...uxore eius Freessent” to Saint-Just-en-Chaussée by undated charter (12th century)[1090]. m FRESENDE, daughter of ---. “Hugo de Crevecuer” donated “terre...de feodo de Crevecuer apud Riencort” inherited from “Ascelino de Bules et...uxore eius Freessent” to Saint-Just-en-Chaussée by undated charter (12th century)[1091]. Ascelin & his wife had one child:

a) GOSCELIN de Bulles (-after 1080). “Militarem Goselinum infantem...filium Ascelini de Buglis” donated “medietatem feodi de Honricourt” to Saint-Lucien de Beauvais, in the presence of “Hugone domino de Buglis et de Domno Martino et Matheo avunculo Goscelini”, by charter dated 1080, witnessed by “Matheus et Paganus avunculi Goscelini”[1092].

2. MATTHIEU (-after 1080 “Ascelin de Bulles et Mathieu son frère et Hubert son neveu” are named in an undated charter of the abbey of Saint-Lucien[1093]. “Militarem Goselinum infantem...filium Ascelini de Buglis” donated “medietatem feodi de Honricourt” to Saint-Lucien de Beauvais, in the presence of “Hugone domino de Buglis et de Domno Martino et Matheo avunculo Goscelini”, by charter dated 1080, witnessed by “Matheus et Paganus avunculi Goscelini”[1094].

5. [ROHESE . Europäische Stammtafeln[1097] indicates that Rohese was sister of “Ascelin de Bulles”. This family origin is presumably speculative because her husband is described as “domino de Buglis” in the following charter: “Militarem Goselinum infantem...filium Ascelini de Buglis” donated “medietatem feodi de Honricourt” to Saint-Lucien de Beauvais, in the presence of “Hugone domino de Buglis et de Domno Martino et Matheo avunculo Goscelini”, by charter dated 1080, witnessed by “Matheus et Paganus avunculi Goscelini”[1098]. "Comes Hugo de Domnomartino" founded the priory of Saint-Leu d’Esserent, with the consent of "uxor…mea Roaidis…et filius meus Petrus et filie mee Basilia, Adalaidis, Eustachia", by charter dated 1081[1099].

- see below.

ii) FOULQUES de Beauvais (-10 Sep 1095). Bishop of Beauvais 1089. The necrology of Beauvais records the death "IV Id Sep" of "Fulco episcopus" and his donations to the church[1102].

LANCELIN [II] de Beauvais, son of LANCELIN [I] de Beauvais & his wife --- (-[15 Jan] after 1116). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified. Seigneur de Bulles, de iure uxoris. Seigneur de Dammartin: Suger's Vita Ludovici names "Lancelinum Bulensem Domni Martini dominum" among those who opposed King Louis VI, dated to [1111][1103]. The fact that he was not accorded the comital title suggests that he was administered the county of Dammartin, presumably on behalf of the count who was a minor. ["…Dominus Lancelinus…" signed the undated charter, maybe dated to [1120/30], which records donations to the priory of Saint-Leu d’Esserent[1104].] The necrology of Saint-Nicolas records the death "XVIII Kal Feb" of "Lancelinus de Buglis et Adeliz uxor eius", adding that "filii eorum Manasses atque Lancelinus, Teobaldus et Rainaldus" donated property in Fouquerolles for them[1105]. It is not clear which of the spouses died on the date mentioned.

2. MANASSES (-1171). A charter of Amaury d’Auteuil dated 1114 records the consent of “Adeliza uxor Lanscelini et filii eius Manasses, Rainaldus, Theobaldus et filia Rohes” to a donation to Saint-Quentin de Beauvais[1119]. "Nobilis mulier Adelidis de Bullis" founded the priory of Wariville, with the consent of "filiorum suorum Lancelini…Manasseri, Renaldi, Theobaldi et filiarum suarum Beatricis, Mabiliæ, Basilidis. et quorumdam etiam successorum...Willelmi de Merloto, Joannis et Roberti fratrum de Conti", confirmed by the bull of Pope Alexander III dated 10 Jul 1175[1120].

Newman states that Manassès was abbé de Froidmont from 1142 to 1171, but does not cite the supporting source[1127]. The necrology of Beaupré records the death “XVIII Kal Feb” of “Manasses de Bullis miles dominus nostre fundator et nepos eius Robertus”[1128]. m (annulled before [1128]) --- [de Milly], daughter of ---. A letter of Eudes Bishop of Beauvais to Suger, dated to [1146/47], records that “P. de Miliaco” had married “neptim Manasse de Bulis” after the annulment of the marriage of “prædictus Manasses” and “hujus Petri amitam”[1129].

3. RENAUD de Bulles (-after 1167). A charter of Amaury d’Auteuil dated 1114 records the consent of “Adeliza uxor Lanscelini et filii eius Manasses, Rainaldus, Theobaldus et filia Rohes” to a donation to Saint-Quentin de Beauvais[1130].

The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified. The primary source which confirms her marriage has not been identified. It is indicated by Darsy who notes a charter dated 13 Feb 1144 which records the burial of Beatrix, wife of Guermond [II] de Picquigny, in the presence of her six children (named with, in the case of the daughters, their husbands, he implies) "avec les trois enfants de Gérard et Manassès de Bulles, frère de Renault"[1138]. "Girard vidame de Picquigny" donated property to "la maison de Gabarinville, lorsque dam Euphémie sa sœur s’y fit religieuse" by charter dated 1149[1139].

4. THIBAUT (-1167). A charter of Amaury d’Auteuil dated 1114 records the consent of “Adeliza uxor Lanscelini et filii eius Manasses, Rainaldus, Theobaldus et filia Rohes” to a donation to Saint-Quentin de Beauvais[1140]. "Nobilis mulier Adelidis de Bullis" founded the priory of Wariville, with the consent of "filiorum suorum Lancelini…Manasseri, Renaldi, Theobaldi et filiarum suarum Beatricis, Mabiliæ, Basilidis. et quorumdam etiam successorum...Willelmi de Merloto, Joannis et Roberti fratrum de Conti", confirmed by the bull of Pope Alexander III dated 10 Jul 1175[1141]. The necrology of Saint-Nicolas records the death "XVIII Kal Feb" of "Lancelinus de Buglis et Adeliz uxor eius", adding that "filii eorum Manasses atque Lancelinus, Teobaldus et Rainaldus" donated property in Fouquerolles for them[1142]. Archdeacon of Beauvais. "Theobaldus archidiaconus…" witnessed the charter dated to [1150/62] which records a donation to the priory of Saint-Leu d’Esserent by "Odo cognomine Gallus" on his deathbed[1143]. "Lancelin, Renaud et Thibault domini castri Buglensis" donated their fief of Wavignies to the abbey of Breteuil by charter dated 1154[1144].

5. ROHESE (-before 1134). A charter of Amaury d’Auteuil dated 1114 records the consent of “Adeliza uxor Lanscelini et filii eius Manasses, Rainaldus, Theobaldus et filia Rohes” to a donation to Saint-Quentin de Beauvais[1145]. Rohese was presumably her parents’ oldest daughter as their other three known daughters are not named in this charter. She presumably died before 1134, the date of the charter in which her sister Beatrix is named with their brothers Lancelin and Manassès. Depoin suggests that she was Rohese, wife of Thibaut de Gisors, son of Payen de Gisors & his wife Mathilde ---, because Thibaut de Gisors was helped by Guillaume de Mello abbot of Pontoise Saint-Martin during a dispute with Louis VII King of France, Abbot Guillaume being the brother of Dreux [II] Seigneur de Mello who had married the sister of Rohese de Bulles (see below)[1146]. From a chronological point of view, this is unlikely to be correct as Rohese de Bulles was named in a charter dated 1114, so could have been considerably older than Thibaut de Gisors. Her correct marriage is indicated by a letter of Eudes Bishop of Beauvais to Suger, dated to [1146/47], which records that “P. de Miliaco” (reporting that he was causing difficulties in the Beauvaisis) had married “neptim Manasse de Bulis” [the wife of Pierre de Milly being recorded in another source as Amélie, daughter of Sagalon de Milly] after the annulment of the marriage of “prædictus Manasses” and “hujus Petri amitam”[1147]. A charter, maybe dated to [1136], which confirms donations to the abbey of Saint-Paul-en-Beauvaisis includes the donation of “in minuta decima de Monsterelo” made by “Sagalonis de Milliaco” for the soul of “Rosciæ uxoris suæ, et Henrici”[1148]. m SAGALON [IV] de Milly, son of --- (-after 1148).

6. BEATRIX (-after 24 Jun 1156). "Nobilis mulier Adelidis de Bullis" founded the priory of Wariville, with the consent of "filiorum suorum Lancelini…Manasseri, Renaldi, Theobaldi et filiarum suarum Beatricis, Mabiliæ, Basilidis. et quorumdam etiam successorum...Willelmi de Merloto, Joannis et Roberti fratrum de Conti", confirmed by the bull of Pope Alexander III dated 10 Jul 1175[1149]. A charter dated 1134 records that “domina Aelidis de Buglis et filii eius Lancelinus...et Manasses et eorum soror Beatrix” donated “terram...in territorio Harmarum” to Trie Sainte-Marie[1150]. A charter dated 1136 records various donations to Trie Sainte-Marie including “domina Adelidis de Buglis et filii eius Lancelinus...Manasses et Rainaldus sororque eorum Beatrix et eiusdem Beatricis filii Hildeburgis et Mathildis” who donated “in...terræ Hermarum...Hez...et Hulsoy...”[1151]. “Manasses de Buglis et Rainaldus frater eius et Beatrix soror eorum” donated land “in territorio de Waismaisons” to Beaupré by charter dated 1144[1152]. “Holdeburgis domina Britoglii” on her deathbed donated the tolls of Hermes-sur-le-Thérain to Variville priory, with the consent of “Beatricis matris sue...domini Waleranni Britolii predicte Holdeburgis mariti”, by charter dated 24 Jun 1156[1153]. m ---. The name of Beatrix’s husband is not known, but presumably he was seigneur d’Ailly-sur-Noye, which was inherited by his older daughter. Two children:

a) HOLDEBURGE (-after 24 Jun 1156). A charter dated 1136 records various donations to Trie Sainte-Marie including “domina Adelidis de Buglis et filii eius Lancelinus...Manasses et Rainaldus sororque eorum Beatrix et eiusdem Beatricis filii Hildeburgis et Mathildis” who donated “in...terræ Hermarum...Hez...et Hulsoy...”[1154]. A charter dated 1153 records that “Galerannum de Britoglio” donated property at Champmartin at Rueil-sur-Bèche to Froidmont abbey, with the consent of “Hugone fratre suo...et Holdeburge uxore Galeranni, Aalsi et Mathilde filiabus eius”[1155]. Dame d'Ailly-sur-Noye et de Tartigny. “Holdeburgis domina Britoglii” on her deathbed donated the tolls of Hermes-sur-le-Thérain to Variville priory, with the consent of “Beatricis matris sue...domini Waleranni Britolii predicte Holdeburgis mariti”, by charter dated 24 Jun 1156[1156]. m as his first wife, VALERAN [III] Seigneur de Breteuil, son of ERARD [III] Comte de Breteuil & his first wife Beatrix de Coucy (-[1162]).

b) MATHILDE (-after 1136). A charter dated 1136 records various donations to Trie Sainte-Marie including “domina Adelidis de Buglis et filii eius Lancelinus...Manasses et Rainaldus sororque eorum Beatrix et eiusdem Beatricis filii Hildeburgis et Mathildis” who donated “in...terræ Hermarum...Hez...et Hulsoy...”[1157].

7. daughter . Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 1167 under which [her son] “Willelmus de Merloto et frater meus Rainaldus antequam filium vel filiam haberet” granted property to “Manasserius de Bullis avunculus noster”, with the consent of “Adelisa matre sua et fratribus suis Lancelino atque Rainaldo”[1158]. The wife of Dreux [II] Seigneur de Mello was clearly therefore one of the daughters of Lancelin [II] de Beauvais Seigneur de Bulles. No primary source has been identified in which she is named. Newman suggests that she was the sister named Basilie, as one of her daughters bore that name[1159]. However, the daughter could just as easily have been named after her maternal aunt. Various documents quoted in this section which record the succession to the seigneurie de Bulles, after the deaths of the brothers Lancelin, Manassès and Renaud, name Guillaume Seigneur de Mello (son of Dreux [II]) before Robert de Conty, suggesting that his claim was superior by inheritance and that his mother was therefore one of the brothers’ older sisters. Nothing is known about the fate of the sister named Rohese. It is not impossible that she married and had children. The sister Beatrix is named in 1136 with two daughters. Their father is not known, but their names are not typical of the Mello family, although it is possible that Beatrix married Dreux [II] as her second husband. The sister named Mabile allegedly followed an ecclesiastical career, although it is possible that she embraced religion after the death of her husband. Lastly, the existence of another unrecorded older sister, already married and away from home when her mother founded Wariville so not named in the foundation document, cannot be excluded. Yet another difficulty with Guillaume de Mello’s inheritance of Bulles results from the charter dated 1181 which names "nos duo domini Bullarum…Willaumus de Meloto, Ermentrudis uxor mea et Renaldus filius meus…Robertus de Conteio alius dominus Bullarum et mei nepotes Manasserus et Johannes"[1160]. The naming of Guillaume’s wife Ermentrude with him in this document would normally indicate that he had acquired his right to Bulles through her. Ermentrude is recorded in primary sources as châtelaine de Roye, although her parents have not been identified. The Guillaume de Mello/Ermentrude de Roye marriage can probably be dated to [1165], given Guillaume’s birth which is estimated to [1130/35], the fact that the couple are named with five children in a charter dated 1172[1161], and because Ermentrude remarried after Guillaume died in 1201. This would place Ermentrude’s birth in [1150]. If Guillaume’s right to Bulles derived from her, from a chronological point of view she must have been either the niece or great-niece of Manassès de Bulles, meaning that she would have been her husband’s first cousin or his first cousin once removed, a degree of consanguinity which would have caused obvious problems with the papacy. Despite the wording of the 1181 charter, it is probable therefore that Guillaume inherited Bulles through his mother. m DREUX [II] Seigneur de Mello, son of DREUX [I] Seigneur de Mello & his wife Richilde de Clermont ([1095/1105]-before [13 Oct 1146/14 Jun 1147]).

8. MABILIE . "Nobilis mulier Adelidis de Bullis" founded the priory of Wariville, with the consent of "filiorum suorum Lancelini…Manasseri, Renaldi, Theobaldi et filiarum suarum Beatricis, Mabiliæ, Basilidis. et quorumdam etiam successorum...Willelmi de Merloto, Joannis et Roberti fratrum de Conti", confirmed by the bull of Pope Alexander III dated 10 Jul 1175[1162]. Lépinois states that Mabile was prioress of Wariville, and later abbess of Fontevraud, but does not cite the primary source on which this is based[1163]. According to Père Anselme, Mabile “fille de Lancelin de Beauvais et d’Alix de Bulles” married Anseau Seigneur de l’Isle, but he cites no primary source[1164]. The names Lancelin and Manassès, introduced into the Isle-Adam family after this marriage, do suggest a connection with the Bulles family. However, no mention has been found of the involvement of the Isle-Adam family in the complicated question of the inheritance of the seigneurie de Bulles during the 12th century.

9. BASILIE . "Nobilis mulier Adelidis de Bullis" founded the priory of Wariville, with the consent of "filiorum suorum Lancelini…Manasseri, Renaldi, Theobaldi et filiarum suarum Beatricis, Mabiliæ, Basilidis. et quorumdam etiam successorum...Willelmi de Merloto, Joannis et Roberti fratrum de Conti", confirmed by the bull of Pope Alexander III dated 10 Jul 1175[1165].

10. [daughter . "Nobilis mulier Adelidis de Bullis" founded the priory of Wariville, with the consent of "filiorum suorum Lancelini…Manasseri, Renaldi, Theobaldi et filiarum suarum Beatricis, Mabiliæ, Basilidis. et quorumdam etiam successorum...Willelmi de Merloto, Joannis et Roberti fratrum de Conti", confirmed by the bull of Pope Alexander III dated 10 Jul 1175[1166]. The order in which "...quorumdam etiam successorum...Willelmi de Merloto, Joannis et Roberti fratrum de Conti" are named in this document indicates that Guillaume de Mello was senior co-heir to Bulles after the deaths of the brothers Lancelin, Manassès and Renaud. The Conti brothers therefore acquired their rights through a junior branch of the family, presumably any of the sisters named above except Rohese. The issue is further complicated by the charter dated 1203 which names “Robertus de Conteio dominus de Bullis, Philippa de Bullis uxor eius”[1167], the naming of Robert’s wife as “Philippa de Bullis” suggesting that he derived his right to Bulles from her, presumably because she was descended from one of the Bulles sisters. Why then was Jean de Conty also named with his brother Robert in the papal bull dated 10 Jul 1175? One possible explanation is that Jean de Conty and his brother Robert married two Bulles heiresses. If that is correct, it is more likely that the heiresses were first cousins rather than sisters, each with an equal right to share in the inheritance which they brought to their respective husbands. The hypothesis appears supported by the absence of Guillaume de Mello’s brother Renaud from the 1175 papal bull: if the claim of the two brothers derived from a single sister, their mother, it would have passed automatically to her older son. It is unlikely that either Philippa de Bulles, or her supposed cousin the possible wife of Jean de Conty, was descended from one of the brothers Lancelin, Manassès or Renaud de Bulles, for in that case the question of co-heirship of descendants of their sisters would not have arisen. m ---.] [One possible child]:

a) [daughter . m JEAN de Conty, son of --- (-[before 1181]). It is likely that Jean de Conty died before 1181, when "nos duo domini Bullarum…Willaumus de Meloto, Ermentrudis uxor mea et Renaldus filius meus…Robertus de Conteio alius dominus Bullarum et mei nepotes Manasserus et Johannes" granted a communal charter to the town of Bulles[1168]. The naming by Robert de Conty of his two nephews in this document suggests that they had a separate right to Bulles, derived from their father who is assumed to have been Jean de Conty.]

11. [daughter . "Nobilis mulier Adelidis de Bullis" founded the priory of Wariville, with the consent of "filiorum suorum Lancelini…Manasseri, Renaldi, Theobaldi et filiarum suarum Beatricis, Mabiliæ, Basilidis. et quorumdam etiam successorum...Willelmi de Merloto, Joannis et Roberti fratrum de Conti", confirmed by the bull of Pope Alexander III dated 10 Jul 1175[1169]. The order in which "...quorumdam etiam successorum...Willelmi de Merloto, Joannis et Roberti fratrum de Conti" are named in this document indicates that Guillaume de Mello was senior co-heir to Bulles after the deaths of the brothers Lancelin, Manassès and Renaud.

a) PHILIPPA de Bulles . [Co-heiress of Bulles.] “Robertus de Conteio dominus de Bullis, Philippa de Bullis uxor eius” are named in a charter of Saint-Germer dated 1203[1171]. The primary source which confirms her parentage has not been identified. The reference to her as “Philippa de Bullis” in the preceding charter suggests that she was the heiress of Bulles which her husband acquired in her name. It is unlikely that she was the daughter of one of the known sisters of Manassès de Bulles, which leaves his brother Renaud as the best candidate for her father. m ROBERT de Conty, son of --- (-after 1208). The necrology of Beaupré records the death “XVIII Kal Feb” of “Manasses de Bullis miles dominus nostre fundator et nepos eius Robertus”[1172]. It is likely that “nepos eius Robertus” was Robert de Conty, husband of one of the nieces of Manassès. Co-seigneur de Bulles: "Nos duo domini Bullarum…Willaumus de Meloto, Ermentrudis uxor mea et Renaldus filius meus…Robertus de Conteio alius dominus Bullarum et mei nepotes Manasserus et Johannes" granted a communal charter to the town of Bulles in 1181[1173]. "Johannes filius Manasses de Conti" confirmed the donation to the priory of Saint-Leu d’Esserent of property "apud Bullas castrum" by "Robertus de Conti avunculus meus", by charter dated 1190[1174]. “Robertus de Conteio dominus de Bullis, Philippa de Bullis uxor eius” are named in a charter of Saint-Germer dated 1203[1175].

There is another charter whose wording is impossible to interpret satisfactorily: "L. et R. domini castri Bugliencis" accepted the arbitrage of a dispute involving the priory of Saint-Leu d’Esserent concerning revenue from Ailly, with the consent of "uxor mea Ada et Robertus et Thomas et Hugo fratres mei", by charter dated May 1202[1176]. It has not yet proved possible to identify either "L” or “R." as seigneurs de Bulles at that date, although the reference to Ailly does suggest a connection with the previous Bulles family.

G. SEIGNEURS de CLICHY et d’ONS-en-BRAY

Clichy, also known as Clichy-la-Garenne, is located on the right bank of the Seine north of the 17e arrondissement of Paris, in the present-day French département of Hauts-de-Seine, arrondissement Nanterre. Ons-en-Bray lies about 10 kilometres west of Beauvais in the present-day French département of Oise, arrondissement Beauvais, canton Auneuil. In the mid-13th century, both fiefs were held by a younger branch of the family of Beaumont-en-Gâtinais.

JEAN de Beaumont, son of JEAN de Beaumont Grand chambrier du roi & his second wife Isabelle de Garlande (-[after 1271?]). Père Anselme records his parentage, noting a charter dated 1271 in which he is named as son of Jean de Beaumont and his wife Isabelle (no source citation)[1177]. It is unclear whether this charter was the same in which his wife is named, the reference to the latter (see below) suggesting that she may have been a widow at the time. Seigneur de Clichy-la-Garenne et d’Ons-en-Bray.

m JEANNE, daughter of --- (-after 1271). Père Anselme records her marriage, noting a charter dated 1271 in which she settled a dispute with Notre-Dame du Val concerning “quelques bois voisins de la terre d’Onz” and suggesting that she belonged to “la maison de Roie, dont on voit les armes dans le sceau de son mari” (no source citation)[1178]. If Anselme was correct, Jeanne’s precise relationship with the Seigneurs de Roye (see the document NORTHERN FRANCE-VALOIS, VEXIN, VERMANDOIS) has not been traced.

Jean & his wife had two children:

1. JEAN de Beaumont (-after 1288). Père Anselme records his parentage, noting that by charter dated 1288 he confirmed the rights of Saint-Denis to “toute justice sur la rivière de Seine” (no source citation)[1179].

Maréchal de France. m as her first husband, JEANNE, daughter of --- (-after 29 May 1339). She married secondly Jean de Ferrières. Judgment dated 1 Feb 1323 (N.S.) confirmed the decision of the prévôt de Paris in favour of “Jean de Ferrières chevalier et Jeanne sa femme” against “Jean dit “le Mire” huissier d’armes du roi” concerning revenue “de la terre de Clichy et de Courcelles” which “avait appartenu à Jean de Beaumont dit le Daramé/Darramé maréchal de France” and which on his death had passed half to “son fils Jean” and the other half to “sa femme Jeanne à titre de douaire”[1181]. Judgment dated 10 Feb 1327 (N.S.) found in favour of “Guillaume “le Telier” de Courcelles en Garenne bourgeois de Paris” against “Jean de Ferrières chevalier en son nom et en celui de sa femme Jeanne veuve de Jean de Beaumont sit “Le Desramé” chevalier maréchal de France, d’Isabelle fille mineure de ladite Jeanne et de Jean de Beaumont, Jean de Beaumont dit le Desramé chevalier fils du maréchal; Pierre de Luigny écuyer au nom de sa femme Jeanne de Beaumont sœur des précédents” concerning “à Courcelles un manoir” demanded by “Guillaume Le Tellier père du demandeur”[1182]. An order was made 29 May 1339 in the lawsuit by “Jean sire de Ferrières en son nom et en celui de Jeanne sa femme et Jean de Beaumont dit Desramé” against “Guillaume Le Tellier”[1183]. Jean & his wife had three children:

i) JEAN de Beaumont (-after 29 May 1339). Seigneur de Clichy. Judgment dated 1 Feb 1323 (N.S.) confirmed the decision of the prévôt de Paris in favour of “Jean de Ferrières chevalier et Jeanne sa femme” against “Jean dit “le Mire” huissier d’armes du roi” concerning revenue “de la terre de Clichy et de Courcelles” which “avait appartenu à Jean de Beaumont dit le Daramé/Darramé maréchal de France” and which on his death had passed half to “son fils Jean” and the other half to “sa femme Jeanne à titre de douaire”[1184].

b) GUILLAUME de Beaumont (-after 1335). Père Anselme records his parentage, noting that he was named as brother of Guy “dans les titres” (no source citation) and was living in 1335[1196]. Seigneur d’Ons-en-Bray.

c) GUY de Beaumont (-[1323/27]). Père Anselme records his parentage, citing sources dated 1315, 1318 and 1323 in which he was named, adding that he was deceased in 1327[1197]. m firstly ---. This first marriage is confirmed by the 18 Nov 1329 order quoted below. The name of Guy’s first wife is not known. m secondly ISABELLE de Marigny, daughter of (-after 23 Nov 1334). Père Anselme records her family origin and marriage, without naming her parents[1198]. In the lawsuit “Jean Choisel et Mathieu du Quesnel chevaliers et Guillaume de Beaumont écuyer” against “Louis de Beaumont écuyer”, the last named was ordered to pay “Isabeau de Marigny sa marâtre, le douaire qui lui avait été promis lors de son mariage avec Guy de Beaumont père de Louis”, by order 18 Nov 1329[1199]. The bailli de Senlis ordered “Louis de Beaumont” to make payments to “Isabelle de Marigny et à Guiot de Beaumont son fils”, dated 23 Nov 1334[1200]. Guy & his first wife had two children:

i) LOUIS de Beaumont (-[16 Jan 1336/5 Jan 1341]). Père Anselme records his parentage[1201]. In the lawsuit “Jean Choisel et Mathieu du Quesnel chevaliers et Guillaume de Beaumont écuyer” against “Louis de Beaumont écuyer”, the last named was ordered to pay “Isabeau de Marigny sa marâtre, le douaire qui lui avait été promis lors de son mariage avec Guy de Beaumont père de Louis”, by order 18 Nov 1329[1202]. The bailli de Senlis ordered “Louis de Beaumont” to make payments to “Isabelle de Marigny et à Guiot de Beaumont son fils”, dated 23 Nov 1334[1203]. “Louis de Beaumont” was named in orders dated 16 Nov 1335 and 16 Jan 1336[1204]. m JEANNE de Courcelles Dame de Château-sur-Epte, daughter of --- (-after 5 Jan 1341). “Jeanne de Courcelles dame de Château sur Epte veuve de Louis de Beaumont chevalier” transferred her inheritance to “leurs enfants mineur...dont elle est tutrice”, guarding the usufruct, dated 5 Jan 1341[1205]. Louis & his wife had [two or more] children:

(a) children . They are referred to but not named in the 5 Jan 1341 document cited above.

ii) PERONELLE de Beaumont (-after 1375). Père Anselme records her parentage and two marriages, noting her claims against “Robert de Combort ou de Combres” and that she and her second husband were living in 1375[1206]. m firstly JEAN de Combort/de Combres, son of ---. m secondly BIN de Berville, son of --- (-after 1375).

Guy & his second wife had [four or more? children:

iii) GUY de Beaumont (-[1369/72]). Père Anselme records his parentage, citing sources dated 1361 and 1369 in which he was named[1207]. The bailli de Senlis ordered “Louis de Beaumont” to make payments to “Isabelle de Marigny et à Guiot de Beaumont son fils”, dated 23 Nov 1334[1208]. Seigneur d’Ons-en-Bray, de Clarois et de Neufville. m firstly ---. The name of Guy’s first wife is not known. m secondly --- Dame de Marlière et de la terre de Roye, daughter of ---. m thirdly as her first husband, BLANCHE de Nesle, daughter of [GUY de Nesle Seigneur de Mello, Maréchal de France [Clermont] & his first wife Jeanne de Bruyères] ([before 1350?]-). Père Anselme records that “Blanche de Clermont dite de Nesle dame de Brétigny, fille de Jean de Clermont dit de Nesle seigneur de Mello et d’Offémont” married firstly Guy de Beaumont and secondly Hector de Chartres[1209]. Her likely birth date is incompatible with this parentage, but she could have been Jean [II]’s sister. A document dated 1373 records that “Madame Blanche de Nesle femme jadis de feu messire Gui de Beaumont chevalier...dame de Ons-en-Bray tant en son nom comme ayant le bail de ses filles” held “son hôtel et lieu de Onz” from “[le] châtel de Clermont” and listed the properties[1210]. She married secondly (after 1373) as his second wife, Hector de Chartres. It looks likely that Blanche transferred or sold Ons-en-Bray, held by her first husband’s family, to her second husband. Guy & his second wife had two children:

(a) JACQUES de Beaumont . Père Anselme records his parentage, noting that he “mourut apparemment sans enfans”[1211].

(b) PERRONNE de Beaumont . Père Anselme records her parentage[1212].

Guy & his third wife had [two or more] children:

(c) [two or more] daughters (-after 1373). Père Anselme records two daughters, noting that they were “sous la tutelle de leur mère en 1372” and that “l’une d’elles semble avoir épousé Gilles seigneur de Nedonchel”[1213]. A document dated 1373 records that “Madame Blanche de Nesle femme jadis de feu messire Gui de Beaumont chevalier...dame de Ons-en-Bray tant en son nom comme ayant le bail de ses filles” held “son hôtel et lieu de Onz” from “[le] châtel de Clermont” and listed the properties[1214].

iv) other children . Père Anselme records “plusieurs autres enfants”[1215].

2. JEANNE de Beaumont (-after 1284). Père Anselme records her parentage, noting that she was “dame de Tartigni et de S. Aubin en Bray” and named in 1284 (no source citation)[1216].

1. JEAN de Chartres . Père Anselme notes that he was “seigneur d’Ons en Bray en Beauvoisis” (no further details about his life and no sources cited)[1217]. It seems more likely that his son acquired Ons-en-Bray from his second wife. m MARIE de l’Etendart, daughter of ---. Père Anselme records her family origin and marriage (no sources cited)[1218]. Jean & his wife had one child:

a) HECTOR de Chartres (-Paris 1418). Père Anselme shows his parentage and cites sources dated 1380, 1388, 1400, and 1406 in which he is named[1219]. Seigneur d’Ons-en-Bray. It looks likely that Hector acquired Ons-en-Bray, held by her first husband’s family, from his second wife. Maître des eaux et forêts de Normandie et Picardie[1220]. Morandière describes him as “un parvenu...dont la famille n’a rien à voir avec la seigneurie de la ville de Chartres”[1221]. Père Anselme indicates that Hector was killed at Azincourt in 1415, but this appears to confuse him with his son of the same name[1222]. Régine Pernoud says that Hector de Chartres died “at Paris during the Cabochian uprising of 1418, a casualty of the Burgundian capture of the city”[1223]. m firstly JEANNE d’Estouteville, daughter of JEAN d’Estouteville Seigneur de Torcy & his wife [Jeanne] [de Fiennes]. Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage, noting that she died childless (no sources cited)[1224]. m secondly (after 1373) as her second husband, BLANCHE de Nesle, widow of GUY de Beaumont Seigneur d’Ons-en-Bray, de Clarois, et de Neufville, daughter of [GUY de Nesle Seigneur de Mello, Maréchal de France [Clermont] & his first wife Jeanne de Bruyères] ([before 1350?]-). Père Anselme records that “Blanche de Clermont dite de Nesle dame de Brétigny, fille de Jean de Clermont dit de Nesle seigneur de Mello et d’Offémont” married firstly Guy de Beaumont and secondly Hector de Chartres[1225]. Her likely birth date is incompatible with this parentage, but she could have been Jean [II]’s sister. A document dated 1373 records that “Madame Blanche de Nesle femme jadis de feu messire Gui de Beaumont chevalier...dame de Ons-en-Bray tant en son nom comme ayant le bail de ses filles” held “son hôtel et lieu de Onz” from “[le] châtel de Clermont” and listed the properties[1226]. Père Anselme confuses matters by recording, in another passage, that Blanche de Nesle, daughter of Jean [II], married firstly Raoul de Flavy, secondly Guy de Beaumont, and thirdly Hector de Chartres[1227]. This suggestion is impossible chronologically: it is assumed that Jean’s daughter Blanche was a different person and that she married Raoul de Flavy as her only husband. It looks likely that Blanche transferred or sold Ons-en-Bray, held by her first husband’s family, to her second husband. Hector & his second wife had three children:

i) PIERRE de Chartres (-after 1406). Père Anselme records his parentage, noting that he and his brother Renaud were fined in 1406 for insulting the bailly of the bishop of Beauvais[1228].

ii) RENAUD de Chartres ([1375/80?]-Tours 4 Apr 1444, bur Tours Cordeliers). Père Anselme records his parentage, noting that he and his brother Renaud were fined in 1406 for insulting the bailly of the bishop of Beauvais[1229]. His descent from the Nesle family is confirmed by his arms including Nesle[1230]. Canon at Beauvais Saint-Pierre. Deacon of Beauvais Saint-Pierre 1404. Archbishop of Reims 1414. Chancellor of France 28 Mar 1424[1231]. Gallia Christiana records details of his ecclesiastical career, his date of death, and his place of burial[1232].

iii) HECTOR de Chartres (-killed in battle Azincourt 25 Oct 1415). Père Anselme records his parentage, noting that he was “un des quatre chassiers de l’église de Chartres” and swore allegiance to the bishop 12 Apr 1402 for property he held near Chartres[1233]. Père Anselme records his death in 1418 but, as noted above, appears to confuse Hector with his father. m ANTOINETTE de Hemery, daughter of ---. Père Anselme records her family origin and marriage (no sources cited)[1234]. Hector & his wife had one child:

(a) ISABELLE de Chartres . Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage, noting that her paternal uncle Archbishop Renaud granted “la terre, ville et seigneurie de Vierzon” to her husband 7 Aug 1425[1235]. Dame d’Ons-en-Bray. m (before 7 Aug 1425) ANTOINE de Lévis Comte de Villars, son of PHILIPPE [IV] de Lévis Comte de Villars & his wife Antoinette d’Anduze (-after 13 Aug 1454, bur Annonay). He succeeded his father in 1440 as Vicomte de Lautrec.

H. SEIGNEURS de DARGIES

Dargies is located in the canton of Grandvilliers, arrondissement de Beauvais, in the present-day French département of Oise.

1. BAUDOUIN de Dargies (-before 1206). “...Balduini de Argies...” subscribed the charter dated Jun 1184 under which “Hugo de Oisi Camerac. castellan.” donated “circa villam de Maineriis et vallem Crepicordii” to Cambrai Saint-Aubert at the synod called by “Rogero Episcopo”[1236]. "...Balduinus de Dargies..." witnessed the charter dated to before 1191 under which "Radulfus comes Claromontensis" confirmed donations to the church of Wariville[1237]. “Balduinus dominus de Dargies” donated property to Beauvais Saint-Quentin, with the consent of “uxoris sue Joanne que cognomento dicitur Beatrix et filiorum meorum Simonis et Balduini”, by charter dated 1194[1238]. m (before 1192) JEANNE [Beatrix], daughter of [SIMON de Clermont & his wife Mathilde de Breteuil] ([1175/80]-7 Mar [1228/Mar 1232]). The doubts about the parentage of Jeanne are discussed in detail in the introduction to the section of the present document which sets out the Seigneurs de Breteuil (Beausault). The conclusion is that the more likely possibility is that she was the daughter of Simon de Clermont and his wife Mathilde de Breteuil, although the alternative possibility that Amicie de Breteuil, younger half-sister of Mathilde, was her mother cannot be excluded entirely. “Balduinus dominus de Dargies” donated property to Beauvais Saint-Quentin, with the consent of “uxoris sue Joanne que cognomento dicitur Beatrix et filiorum meorum Simonis et Balduini”, by charter dated 1194[1239]. “Symon dominus de Dargies et Beatrix mater mea” donated property to Beaupré by charter dated 1206[1240]. “Simon de Bellosaltu, Clementia uxor eius et Johenna de Argies” repurchased “terræ Britholii, de dicto rege moventis” for 3,000 Parisian pounds, with the exception of “pactionibus quas Amicia domina Britholii” had made “cum domino rege”, by charter dated Nov 1226[1241]. The necrology of Beaupré records the death “Non Mar” of “Johanna...domina de Dargies et dimidie partis castellanie de Britolio”[1242]. “Simon miles dominus de Dargies” donated harvest “apud Britolium”, for the soul of “bone memorie domine Joanne matris mee”, with the consent of “Isabellis uxor mea, Rainaldus filius meus primogenitus”, by charter dated Mar 1231 (O.S.)[1243]. Baudouin & his wife had three children:

a) SIMON [I] de Dargies (-[Jun 1246/May 1249]). “Balduinus dominus de Dargies” donated property to Beauvais Saint-Quentin, with the consent of “uxoris sue Joanne que cognomento dicitur Beatrix et filiorum meorum Simonis et Balduini”, by charter dated 1194[1244]. “Symon dominus de Dargies et Beatrix mater mea” donated property to Beaupré by charter dated 1206[1245]. “Guillermus canonicus Belvacensis et...Manasses miles de Melloto fratres et...Simon de Dargiis miles et...Elizabeth filia domini Reginaldi de Melloto” made claims against “Johannem de Villari” by charter dated 1215[1246]. The Scripta de Feodis of King Philippe II record “Simon de Dargies” holding “octava parte de Bules...”, and in an earlier section “Johans sires de Neele” holding “Neele et les apartenances...” and among his “home...missires Simons de Dargies...”[1247]. “Simon miles dominus de Dargies” donated harvest “apud Britolium”, for the soul of “bone memorie domine Joanne matris mee”, with the consent of “Isabellis uxor mea, Rainaldus filius meus primogenitus”, by charter dated Mar 1231 (O.S.)[1248]. “Symon dominus de Dargies miles et Elisabeth uxor mea, filia domini Renaldi de Melloto dudum defuncti” donated property by charter dated Jun 1232[1249]. “Simon miles dominus de Dargies et Elisabeth uxor mea” donated property to Breteuil, with the consent of “Rainaldi et aliorum liberorum nostrorum”, by charter dated Sep 1233[1250]. “Simon de Dargies miles dominus Britolii” confirmed donations of harvest “de prato in granchia de Tartigny” made to Beaupré by “dominus Radulfus de Claramonte quondam avunculus meus...cognatus meus Radulfus de Claromonte miles filius predicti domini Radulfi”, by charter dated Apr 1243[1251]. “Symon miles et dominus de Dargies” confirmed a donation made to Beauvais Hôtel-Dieu by “Balduinus pater meus” by charter dated Mar 1243 (O.S.)[1252]. “Symon miles et dominus de Dargies: Reginaldus de Dargies miles filius meus primogenitus” are named in a charter dated Jun 1246[1253]. “...Heredes domini Symonis Dargies...” are named in the charter dated May 1249 which records payments made to the executors of the testament of “domini Philippi quondam comitis Bolonie”[1254]. m (before 1215) ISABELLE de Mello, daughter of RENAUD de Mello & his wife Gertrude de Nesle (-after Jul 1258). “Guillermus canonicus Belvacensis et...Manasses miles de Melloto fratres et...Simon de Dargiis miles et...Elizabeth filia domini Reginaldi de Melloto” made claims against “Johannem de Villari” by charter dated 1215[1255]. “Simon miles dominus de Dargies” donated harvest “apud Britolium”, for the soul of “bone memorie domine Joanne matris mee”, with the consent of “Isabellis uxor mea, Rainaldus filius meus primogenitus”, by charter dated Mar 1231 (O.S.)[1256]. “Symon dominus de Dargies miles et Elisabeth uxor mea, filia domini Renaldi de Melloto dudum defuncti” donated property by charter dated Jun 1232[1257]. “Simon miles dominus de Dargies et Elisabeth uxor mea” donated property to Breteuil, with the consent of “Rainaldi et aliorum liberorum nostrorum”, by charter dated Sep 1233[1258]. [A charter dated Mar 1255 records that "Elizabeth domina de Lagniaco...Johannes Dargies miles filius dicte Elizabeth" donated property “in territorio de Legniaco” to Ourscamp Notre-Dame and that “Johannes Dargies miles filius dicte Elizabeth” confirmed “dictam elemosinam a predicta Katarina [error for Elizabetha] matre mea”[1259]. It is assumed that this charter records a much earlier donation and that only the confirmation was dated Mar 1255. If that is correct, Isabelle de Mello would have been dame de Laigny, inherited from her paternal grandmother.] Simon [I] & his wife had [three or more] children:

i) RENAUD [I] de Dargies (-[19 Mar/Dec] 1269). “Simon miles dominus de Dargies” donated harvest “apud Britolium”, for the soul of “bone memorie domine Joanne matris mee”, with the consent of “Isabellis uxor mea, Rainaldus filius meus primogenitus”, by charter dated Mar 1231 (O.S.)[1260]. “Simon miles dominus de Dargies et Elisabeth uxor mea” donated property to Breteuil, with the consent of “Rainaldi et aliorum liberorum nostrorum”, by charter dated Sep 1233[1261]. Seigneur de Dargies.

- see below.

ii) JEAN de Dargis (-[after Jun 1285]). A charter dated Mar 1255 records that "Elizabeth domina de Lagniaco...Johannes Dargies miles filius dicte Elizabeth" donated property “in territorio de Legniaco” to Ourscamp Notre-Dame and that “Johannes Dargies miles filius dicte Elizabeth” confirmed “dictam elemosinam a predicta Katarina [error for Elizabetha] matre mea”[1262]. It is assumed that this charter records a much earlier donation and that only the confirmation was dated Mar 1255. Seigneur de Laigny: "Jehans chevaliers et sires de Leigni" confirmed the donation made by “me dame me mere...le cens de Laigni” to Ourscamp Notre-Dame by charter dated Oct 1267[1263]. [Simon de Clermont Seigneur de Nesle appointed “mon seigneur Jehan de Dargies mon neveu seigneur de Laigni” as one of his executors under his testament dated Jun 1285[1264]. This date appears late, but not impossible, for the document to apply to the same Jean de Dargis. It is possible therefore that the Jean de Dargis in question was the son of this Jean, having inherited the seigneurie de Laigny from his father.]

iii) --- . Simon [I] had three or more children, as shown by the charter dated Sep 1233 under which “Simon miles dominus de Dargies et Elisabeth uxor mea” donated property to Breteuil, with the consent of “Rainaldi et aliorum liberorum nostrorum”[1265].

iv) [SIMON [II] de Dargies (-after 1294). The primary source which confirms the parentage of Simon [II] has not been identified. However, it is reasonable to suppose that he was another younger son of Simon [I] who inherited the châtellenie de Roye from his mother Isabelle de Mello, while his brother Jean inherited the seigneurie de Laigny which was also inherited from Isabelle. Châtelain de Roye: "Simons de Dargies chevaliers chastelains de Roye" confirmed donations to Notre-Dame d'Ourscamp by charter dated Aug 1265[1266]. [m GILLE Dame de Triechoc, daughter of --- (-after Jan 1266). "Gile dame de Triechoc et castelaine de Roye" confirmed donations to Notre-Dame d'Ourscamp by charter dated Jan 1265 (O.S.)[1267]. It is possible that Gille was the wife of Simon [III] de Dargies Châtelain de Roye. Simon [III] & his wife had [two] children:

(1) [SIMON [IV] de Dargies (-after 1294). Châtelain de Roye: “Simon de Dargies châtelain de Roye” sold property to Charles Comte de Valois by charter dated 1290[1268]. The testament of Renaud Seigneur de Dargies dated early 1294 was made with the advice of “mes boins amis et cousins messire Symon de Dargies”[1269]. The chronology of the Dargies family suggests that these two charters could not refer to Simon [II]. It is reasonable to suppose that they refer to his son, who had inherited the châtellenie de Roye from his father, although the primary source which confirms that this is correct has not been identified.]

(2) GOBERT [II] de Dargies (-after 1287). “Gobert de Dargies...fils de messire Simon de Dargies” names “proche parent Jean de Moy chevalier” in a charter dated 1287[1270].

b) BAUDOUIN de Dargies . “Balduinus dominus de Dargies” donated property to Beauvais Saint-Quentin, with the consent of “uxoris sue Joanne que cognomento dicitur Beatrix et filiorum meorum Simonis et Balduini”, by charter dated 1194[1271].

c) HUGUES de Dargies (-after Sep 1250). Seigneur de Blanc-Fossé (inherited from his relative Amicie de Breteuil, see the section dealing with the Seigneurs de Breteuil): “Hugo de Dargies miles dominus de Albo Fossato, frater Simonis” sold property at Cormeille to Froidmont, confirmed by “Simon fils de Hugues”, by charter dated 1233[1272]. “Hugo de Dargies et dame Aelide sa femme” sold property at Blancfossé to Froidmont by charter dated 1235[1273]. “Renaud” confirmed an exchange of property between the monks of Breteuil and “Pierre Hamons”, in the presence of “Hue de Dargies son oncle”, by charter dated 1250[1274]. “Hugo de Dargies miles” confirmed a donation to l’Hôtel-Dieu de Beauvais made by “Manassès de Bulles” by charter dated Sep 1250[1275]. m ALIX, daughter of --- (-after 1235). “Hugo de Dargies et dame Aelide sa femme” sold property at Blancfossé to Froidmont by charter dated 1235[1276]. Hugues & his wife had [two] children:

i) SIMON [III] de Dargies (-after 1233). “Hugo de Dargies miles dominus de Albo Fossato, frater Simonis” sold property at Cormeille to Froidmont, confirmed by “Simon fils de Hugues”, by charter dated 1233[1277].

ii) [JEAN de Dargies . Seigneur de Blanc-Fossé: “Jehan de Dargies chevaliers sires de Blanc Fossé” is named in an undated charter of Froidmont[1278]. The primary source which confirms the parentage of Jean has not been identified. However, it is reasonable to suppose that he inherited the seigneurie de Blanc-Fossé from Hugues de Dargies, who may have been his father.]

RENAUD [I] de Dargies, son of SIMON [I] Seigneur de Dargies & his wife Isabelle de Mello (-[19 Mar/Dec] 1269). “Simon miles dominus de Dargies” donated harvest “apud Britolium”, for the soul of “bone memorie domine Joanne matris mee”, with the consent of “Isabellis uxor mea, Rainaldus filius meus primogenitus”, by charter dated Mar 1231 (O.S.)[1279]. “Simon miles dominus de Dargies et Elisabeth uxor mea” donated property to Breteuil, with the consent of “Rainaldi et aliorum liberorum nostrorum”, by charter dated Sep 1233[1280]. Seigneur de Dargies: “Reginaldus miles dominus de Dargyes” renounced claims over “villa sua de Riex” in favour of St Germer by charter dated 1250[1281]. “Renaud” confirmed an exchange of property between the monks of Breteuil and “Pierre Hamons”, in the presence of “Hue de Dargies son oncle”, by charter dated 1250[1282]. “Reginaldus dominus de Dargies et de Catheu miles” donated a chapel at “castri de Catheu” founded by “Avitie quondam domine de Catheu et de Britholio” to Amiens by charter dated Jul 1251[1283]. Renaud de Dargies sold his share in "la châtellenie de Breteuil" to Guillaume de Beausault by charter dated 1261[1284]. “Renauz chevaliers sires de Dargies” donated property “en mes bois de Barneu” to the church of Beaupré by charter dated 1268[1285]. Simon de Dargies donated property to Beaupré by charter dated 19 Mar 1268 (O.S.)[1286]. A charter of Beaupré dated Mar 1272 names “pie recordationis Reginaldus de Dargies quondam miles”[1287].

m [firstly] ---. The name of Renaud [I]’s wife is not known. Carolus-Barré calls her “Isabelle” in the genealogical table which illustrates his study of Renaud [II] Seigneur de Dargies, but he does not cite or date the primary source on which he bases this name[1288]. Two clues about the origin of Renaud [I]’s wife emerge from the documentation. They appear mutually contradictory, which suggests that Renaud may have married twice. In addition, the chronology of Renaud’s sons indicates a considerable difference in their ages, which also points to their having different mothers.

[m [secondly] --- de Clermont, daughter of RAOUL [I] de Clermont Seigneur d’Ailly & his wife Gertrude de Nesle. “Dominum Gobertum de Dargies dominum de Kateu militem” settled a dispute with the church of Amiens, with the consent of “Symonis de Claromonte militis domini de Nigella avunculi sui”, by charter dated 9 Sep 1278[1289]. If “avunculus” in this document can be interpreted in its strict sense of maternal uncle, Gobert’s mother would have been the sister of Simon [II] de Clermont. If this hypothesis is correct, a Papal dispensation would have been necessary (on the assumption that Renaud’s paternal grandmother, Jeanne [Beatrix], was the daughter of Simon [I] de Clermont as suggested above) as Renaud’s father would have been the first cousin to his wife. That appears to be rather close consanguinity for the grant of a dispensation. If, on the other hand, Jeanne [Beatrix] was the daughter of Amicie de Breteuil (another difficult problem which is discussed elsewhere in the present document) the relationship would be more remote. Another explanation of 9 Sep 1278 charter is that “avunculus” is used in a broad sense to describe Gobert’s blood relationship with Simon de Clermont.]

[m [as her second husband,] ---. Renaud [II] calls Gaucher de Châtillon (identified as Gaucher [V] de Châtillon, later Comte de Porcéan) “fratrem meum” in his second testament[1290]. If “Isabelle” is confirmed as the name of Renaud’s wife, and if she was his second wife, she could have been either (1) Isabelle de Villehardouin widow of Gaucher [IV] de Châtillon and mother of Gaucher [V] (in which case Renaud [II] and Gaucher [V] would have been uterine brothers), or (2) Isabelle de Villebéon widow of Robert de Dreux Seigneur de Bû (in which case Renaud [II] de Dargies would have been Gaucher [V]’s brother-in-law, as his first wife Isabelle de Dreux was Isabelle de Villebéon’s daughter)[1291].]

Renaud [I] & his [first] wife had one child:

1. GOBERT [I] de Dargies (-[1288/92]). “Gobertus armiger dominus de Dargies” confirmed a donation to Amiens made by “Guifredus dictus maior de Gratepanche” by charter dated Dec 1269[1292]. The Exercitus Fuxensis Index Primus, dated 1272, names “milites...Gobertus de Argies” among “homines feodales...in ballia Viromandensi...Mons Desiderii”[1293]. "Almaricus de Meullento dominus de Cauda, Guillelmus de Essartis dominus de Ambleinvilla, Gobertus de Argus dominus de Guitebuef, Albertus de Longavalle dominus de Croissiaco milites, Ysabellis predicti Guillelmi, Yda dicti Goberti, et Anna dicti Alberti uxores" confirmed rights of pasture of the convent of Notre-Dame de Gournay by charter dated Apr 1274[1294]. A charter dated 9 Sep 1278 records a settlement between Amiens and “dominum Gobertum de Dargies dominum de Kateu militem” concerning “jurisdictionem...decani et capituli in villa et territorio de Vacaria”, with the consent of “Symonis de Claromonte militis domini de Nigella avunculi sui”[1295]. "Almauricus de Meulento dominus de Cauda et de Gornayo armiger, dominus Gobertus de Argiis et dominus Guillelmus de Amblevilla milites" authorised the opening of two routes through their forests at Roissy by charter dated Nov 1281[1296]. The death of Gobert de Dargies is estimated to [1288/92][1297]. m ([Aug 1269/Apr 1274]) as her first husband, IDA de Meulan Dame de Fontaine-Guérard, daughter of AMAURY [III] de Meulan Seigneur de la Queue-en-Brie et de Gournay-sur-Marne & his wife Marguerite de Neufbourg ([1255/60?]-16 Jan 1324, bur Abbaye de Fontaine-Guérard). She married secondly ([1289/93]) Jean de Ponthieu Comte d’Aumâle. Her first and second marriages are indicated by the testaments of Renaud Seigneur de Dargies [younger brother of Ida’s first husband], dated early 1294 and Aug 1295, which bequeathed dowry to his daughter Jeanne “...toute le terre de Clari qui me doit venir apres le dechest me dame le contesse d’Aubemalle”[1298], indicating that the property in question must have constituted Ida’s dower from her first marriage. "Almaricus de Meullento dominus de Cauda, Guillelmus de Essartis dominus de Ambleinvilla, Gobertus de Argus dominus de Guitebuef, Albertus de Longavalle dominus de Croissiaco milites, Ysabellis predicti Guillelmi, Yda dicti Goberti, et Anna dicti Alberti uxores" confirmed rights of pasture to Notre-Dame de Gournay by charter dated Apr 1274, with another charter dated Nov 1274 relating to the same matter[1299]. The death of Gobert de Dargies is estimated to [1288/92][1300], which indicates that his widow must have been older than her second husband at the time of their marriage. It has previously been suggested that, because of this age difference, it is more likely that the wife of Jean de Ponthieu was Ida de Meulan, daughter of Amaury [IV] de Meulan, and not Ida de Meulan, daughter of Amaury [III] de Meulan, who married Gobert de Dargies[1301]. However, the testaments of Renaut de Dargies quoted above confirm that the same Ida de Meulan married the two individuals. “Ida de Mellento comitissa de Albamalla” donated “nostram partem decimæ in...Fourgis...” to “ecclesia...Beatæ Mariæ de Thesauro”, for the souls of “Johannis de Pontivo quondam comitis de Albemalia, Mariæ de Pontivo filiæ meæ primogenitæ, domini Goberti quondam domini de Dargies”, by charter dated 7 Oct 1316[1302].

Renaud [I] & his [second] wife had one child:

2. RENAUD [II] de Dargies (-Saint-Sever [Aug/Sep] 1295). Seigneur de Dargies. Renaud Seigneur de Dargies confirmed donations to Beaupré made by “son frère aîné Gobert” and by “son boin pere messire Renaut jadis seigneurs de Dargies” by charter dated Aug 1293[1303]. The testaments of Renaud Seigneur de Dargies, dated early 1294 (made with the advice of “mes boins amis et cousins messire Symon de Dargies”) and Aug 1295, bequeathed dowry to his daughter Jeanne “...toute le terre de Clari qui me doit venir apres le dechest me dame le contesse d’Aubemalle”[1304], indicating that the property in question must have constituted Ida’s dower from her first marriage. “Renaus chevaliers sires de Dargies” names “Galcherum de Castellione fratrem meum militem, Simonem de Dargies et Joannem dictum Poli de Lihus” as executors in his testament dated 1295[1305]. m as her first husband, AGNES de Bruyères, daughter of JEAN de Lèves Seigneur de Bruyères-le-Châtel & his wife Eustachie de Lévis (-before 1329). According to Père Anselme, the wife of Renaud [II] de Dargies and Aubert [VI] Seigneur de Hangest was “Agnes de Bruyères...sœur de Thomas seigneur de Bruyères” but he cites no primary source which confirms his statement[1306]. Richemond says that she was “fille de Jean de Bruyères et d’Eustachie de Lévis ou de Lesves, et veuve de Robert d’Argies” (no primary source cited)[1307]. Her parentage is presumably based on the charter dated Jul 1319 which records that [her daughter] “J^ne d’Argiès, fille de Renaut d’Argiès, C^tsse de Soissons, veuve de Jⁿ de Clermont chev.” sold “la terre de Puyvert“ to “Thomas de Bruyères son oncle et à Isabeau de Melun sa femme”[1308]. Carolus-Barré suggests a connection with the seigneurs de Châtillon-sur-Marne as her first husband called Gaucher de Châtillon [presumably identified as Gaucher [V] de Châtillon Comte de Porcéan who in 1295 was married to his first wife Isabelle de Dreux] “fratrem meum” in his second testament[1309]. In contemporary sources “fratrem” can sometimes mean brother-in-law as well as brother, but is unlikely to indicate a more remote relationship. However, if Agnes had been a sister of Gaucher [V] she would have been related to her second husband by consanguinity, whereas the dispensation quoted below only refers to the affinity relationship between her two husbands. Other possible relationships are through Renaud [II]’s mother, as discussed above. She married secondly (Papal dispensation 10 Jun 1302) Aubert [VI] de Hangest Seigneur de Genlis. The Papal dispensation for the marriage of “nobili viro Auberto de Hangesto milite” and “nobli muliere Agnete domina de Dargies”, because “quondam Reginaldus de Dargies olim vir predicte Agnetis” was related by 4^o affinity to “ipsi Auberto”, is dated 10 Jun 1302[1310]. Agnes died before 1329 when her children by her second marriage sued her children by her first marriage for a share in her succession[1311]. Renaud [II] & his wife had two children:

a) JEANNE de Dargies ([1290]-[Sep 1333/22 Feb 1337]). The testaments of Renaud Seigneur de Dargies, dated early 1294 and Aug 1295, bequeathed dowry to his daughter Jeanne “...toute le terre de Clari qui me doit venir apres le dechest me dame le contesse d’Aubemalle”[1312], indicating that the property in question must have constituted Ida’s dower from her first marriage. Her first betrothal and first marriage are confirmed by the following information: Boutaric records that “le comte de Soissons avait enlevé et épousé la fille du sire de Dargies, fiancée à Aubert d’Hangest, fils d’un favori du roi” and that King Philippe IV requested Pope Clement V to confirm the marriage[1313]. Given the Pope’s appointment 5 Jun 1305, the event must have taken place in early 1305. Dom Villevieille records that “Hugues C^te de Soissons, fils de Jⁿ 4^e C^te de Soissons et de Marguerite...de Rumigny” married “J^ne fille de Gobert [error for Renaud] S^gr d’Argiès et de Catheux en Picardie”[1314]. The Continuatio of the Chronicle of Guillaume de Nangis records the marriage in 1310 of "Ludovicus Roberti Clarimontis filius...frater Johannes" and "comitissam"[1315]. Dom Villevieille records that “J^ne d’Argiès, fille de Renaut d’Argiès, C^tsse de Soissons, veuve de Jⁿ de Clermont chev.” sold “la terre de Puyvert“ to “Thomas de Bruyères son oncle et à Isabeau de Melun sa femme” by charter dated Jul 1319[1316]. “Jean de Neelle sire d’Offemont et du Sauchoy chevalier et Marguerite dame de Mellou sa femme” acknowledged that “Jeanne dame de Dargies et comtesse de Soissons” had granted them certain properties, by charter dated Sep 1333[1317]. “Madame Ieanne de Dargies Comtesse de Soissons” exchanged property with “monsieur Iean de Nesle seigneur d’Offemont” by charter dated 1333, ratified by “Iean de Boulongne et damoiselle Ieanne de Clermont sa femme fille de ladite feue Comtesse de Soissons” by charter dated 22 Feb 1336 (O.S.?)[1318]. Betrothed ([1304]) to AUBERT [VII] de Hangest, son of AUBERT [VI] de Hangest Seigneur de Genlis & his first wife --- ([after 1295?]-29 Sep 1338, bur Genlis). m firstly (early 1305) HUGUES de Nesle Comte de Soissons, son of JEAN [IV] de Nesle Comte de Soissons & his wife Marguerite de Rumigny (-after Oct 1305). m secondly ([1309]) JEAN de Clermont Baron de Charolais, son of ROBERT de France Comte de Clermont Seigneur de Bourbon & his wife Béatrix dame de Bourbon (1283-1322, bur Lyon, église des Jacobins, transferred to Paris, église des Jacobins). m thirdly (after 1322) HUGUES de Châtillon Seigneur de Condé, son of JACQUES [I] de Châtillon Seigneur de Leuze et de Condé & his wife Catherine de Condé (-1329).

b) EUSTACHIE de Dargies (-16 Jan 1357). She is named in the genealogical table which illustrates Carolus-Barré’s study of Renaud [II] Seigneur de Dargies[1319]. m (before 1314) JEAN [II] Seigneur de Barbançon, son of JEAN [I] Seigneur de Barbançon & his wife Marie d’Antoing (-5 Oct 1332).

I. VIDAMES de GERBEROY

Pillet suggests that the vidames (“vicedomini”) bore this title in their capacity as representatives of bishops in fulfilling their temporal role, including the administration of justice in the episcopal courts[1320]. Presumably therefore their role equated with that of the avocats/avoués who represented all manner of religious institutions in lay matters. The vidames de Gerberoy were representatives of the bishop of Beauvais, but took their name from their own castle, in the canton of Songeons in the present-day French département of Oise, which had been constructed to defend the bishopric and county of Beauvais against Norman incursions. The date when the castle was built is not known, but as can be seen below it is referred to in sources dated to the early 11th century. Louvet records that the chapel of Saint-Vaast or Sainte-Véronique, which was donated to the nuns of Vuariville in 1173 by Guillaume Vidame de Gerberoy, was the Hôtel of the vidames de Gerberoy in Beauvais[1321]. From the late 11th century, two separate families of vidames de Gerberoy are recorded, holding the position jointly. In the first of these families, the names Hélie and Guillaume predominated, in the second Gérard and Pierre. It is not known whether these two families shared a common ancestry. The vidamé of Gerberoy reverted to the bishop of Beauvais in [1193], presumably because the current office-holders died without male heirs[1322].

1. FRANCON de Gerberoy (-[3 Nov], after 1015). [Vidame] de Gerberoy. Documents dated to the 11th century record that Roger Bishop of Beauvais agreed not to harm “Franco...de castello Gerboredo”[1323]. Robert II King of France confirmed that Roger Bishop of Beauvais confirmed “mercatum quod tenebat Franco de castro...Gerboredum” by charter dated 1015[1324]. Francon is not referred to as vicedominus in these sources, but it is likely that he fulfilled this role for the bishop of Beauvais. The death of “Franco de Gerboredo” is recorded 3 Nov[1325].

Two brothers:

1. GARNIER de Gerberoy (-10 Apr after 1072). Guy Bishop of Beauvais records “Gerboredi castello” and “Warnerus et Ursio iam dicti castelli principes” in a charter dated to [1070], witnessed by “...Guarnerus frater domini Guarneri, Evrardus frater domini Ursionis...”[1326]. Guy Bishop of Beauvais founded Saint-Vaast by charter dated 18 May 1072 witnessed by “Garinus et Ursio de Gerboredo...”[1327]. The necrology of the church of Beauvais records the death “IV Id Apr” of “Guarnier vidame”[1328].

2. [GARNIER] (-after [1070]). Guy Bishop of Beauvais records “Gerboredi castello” and “Warnerus et Ursio iam dicti castelli principes” in a charter dated to [1070], witnessed by “...Guarnerus frater domini Guarneri, Evrardus frater domini Ursionis...”[1329].

Two brothers:

Guy Bishop of Beauvais records “Gerboredi castello” and “Warnerus et Ursio iam dicti castelli principes” in a charter dated to [1070], witnessed by “...Guarnerus frater domini Guarneri, Evrardus frater domini Ursionis...”[1330]. Guy Bishop of Beauvais founded Saint-Vaast by charter dated 18 May 1072 witnessed by “Garinus et Ursio de Gerboredo...”[1331]. The necrology of the cathedral of Beauvais records the death “IV Id Oct” of “Urso vicedominus”[1332].

2. ERARD (-after [1070]). Guy Bishop of Beauvais records “Gerboredi castello” and “Warnerus et Ursio iam dicti castelli principes” in a charter dated to [1070], witnessed by “...Guarnerus frater domini Guarneri, Evrardus frater domini Ursionis...”[1333].

1. HELIE [I] de Gerberoy (-after [1078]). Vidame de Gerberoy. Orderic Vitalis records that Robert, son of William I King of England, sought refuge "in castrum Gerberracum...in pago Belvacensi situm" with “Helias...vicedominus”, dated to [1078][1334]. The dating clause of a charter of Philippe I King of France dated 1078 records "in obsidione regum...Philippi regis Francorum et Willelmi Anglorum regis circa Gerboredum"[1335].

1. ROBERT de Beauvais, son of ROBERT “Eloquens” de Chaumont & his wife --- (-after [1116]). Orderic Vitalis records that, after the death of their father "Rodbertus Eloquens de Calvimonte, qui capitalis dominus erat", "filii eius Otmundus de Calvimonte et Waszo de Pexeio et Rotbertus Belvancensis" confirmed donations to "Sancto Ebrulfo", in a passage dated to [1066/89][1336]. "Otmundo ipsi castri domino, Roberto fratre eius, et Watho de Pissiaco...…" witnessed the charter dated 15 Oct 1098 “apud Calvum Montem” under which "Wiardus filius Drogonis de Coflente" renounced claims over “Ledonis Curtis” in favour of Chartres Saint-Père[1337]. Vidame de Gerberoy. m ---. Robert & his wife had one child:

a) OSMOND . “...Osmundus filius Roberti vicedomini de Girbereyo...” is named as a hostage in a charter dated [1116] under which "Hildeburgis mater Goelli de Ibriaco" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Martin de Pontoise with the consent of "Goellus…uxoremque suam Isabel filiosque suos Willelmum atque Robertum"[1338].

1. HELIE [II] de Gerberoy (-[1155/60]).

Henri Bishop of Beauvais confirmed an exchange of property between the abbeys of Lannoy and Beaupré, consented to by “Helias vicedominus Gerborredi ad cujus feodum ipsa terra pertinebat, cum uxore sua Martina et filiis suis Willelmo et Helia, Johanna et Drogone”, by charter dated 1153[1342]. “Helyas vicedominus Gerboreti...cum uxore mea Martiniana et cum Willelmo et ceteris liberis meis” donated property “in terra Moncellorum, Maisniliorum et Vaccariarum” to Lannoy abbey by charter dated 1155[1343]. m MARTINE, daughter of --- (-after 1155). Henri Bishop of Beauvais confirmed an exchange of property between the abbeys of Lannoy and Beaupré, consented to by “Helias vicedominus Gerborredi ad cujus feodum ipsa terra pertinebat, cum uxore sua Martina et filiis suis Willelmo et Helia, Johanna et Drogone”, by charter dated 1153[1344]. “Helyas vicedominus Gerboreti...cum uxore mea Martiniana et cum Willelmo et ceteris liberis meis” donated property “in terra Moncellorum, Maisniliorum et Vaccariarum” to Lannoy abbey by charter dated 1155[1345].

Henri Bishop of Beauvais confirmed an exchange of property between the abbeys of Lannoy and Beaupré, consented to by “Helias vicedominus Gerborredi ad cujus feodum ipsa terra pertinebat, cum uxore sua Martina et filiis suis Willelmo et Helia, Johanna et Drogone”, by charter dated 1153[1346]. “Helyas vicedominus Gerboreti...cum uxore mea Martiniana et cum Willelmo et ceteris liberis meis” donated property “in terra Moncellorum, Maisniliorum et Vaccariarum” to Lannoy abbey by charter dated 1155[1347]. Vidame de Gerberoy. “Willelmus [...cum uxore mea et liberis cum fratribus...meis] et Petrus [...cum Girardo et ceteris fratribus...meis] vicedomini Gerboreti” confirmed the donation of “terram suam de Ursimonte” made to Lannoy abbey by “Benzo de Reio...” by charter dated 1160, witnessed by “Helius frater Willelmi, Girardus frater Petri...”[1348]. “Guillelmus Gerboredi castri dominus” donated property to Notre-Dame du Pré, with the consent of “Mabiliæ uxoris meæ et Vuillelmi filii mei”, by charter dated 1170[1349]. “Willelmus vicedominus Gerboredi” confirmed the donation of property “in territorio Ursimontis et Auboudimasnil” made to Lannoy abbey by “Radulfus Waleran...” by charter dated 1171, witnessed by “...Helias frater meus...”[1350]. m (before [1155]) MABILIE, daughter of ---. “Guillelmus Gerboredi castri dominus” donated property to Notre-Dame du Pré, with the consent of “Mabiliæ uxoris meæ et Vuillelmi filii mei”, by charter dated 1170[1351].

The source which confirms that Agnes was Guillaume de Mello’s daughter who married Guillaume de Gerberoy has not been identified. However, bearing in mind the marriage date of her parents, it is likely that Guillaume’s wife was their older daughter.

ii) JULIANA de Gerberoy (-after 1178). “Vuillelmus de Gerboredo” donated property to Sainte-Marie des Prés, with the consent of “dominus...Petrus gener meus cum Juliana uxore sua filia mea”, by charter dated 1169[1355]. “Petrus de Gerboredo” donated property to Notre-Dame du Pré, with the consent of “Stephanus frater meus, Juliana uxor mea et Petrus filius meus”, by charter dated 1172 “anno quarto ætatis Petri filii mei”[1356]. “Petrus vicedominus Gerborredi et Stephanus frater meus et Juliana uxor mea et Petrus filius meus et filia mea Haevis” confirmed the possessions of Lannoy abbey, including property “in territorio Moncellorum, Mainiliarum et Vaccariarum” donated “ex dono et feodo sive dominio patris sui Willelmi et matris sue Mabilie”, by charter dated 1171[1357]. “Petrus vicedominus Gerborredi” donated annual harvest in “terre sue Ursimontis et Auboumaisnilii” to Lannoy abbey, with the consent of “Juliane uxore mea et Petro filio meo”, by charter dated 1172, witnessed by “...Stephanus frater meus...”[1358]. “Petrus vicedomini Gerborredi” donated harvest to Gerberoy, with the consent of “Juliana uxor mea, Petrus filius meus, Stephanus frater meus”, by charter dated 1178[1359]. m ([1165]) PIERRE Vidame de Gerberoy, son of PIERRE Vidame de Gerberoy & his first wife Havise --- (-after 1195).

b) HELIE de Gerberoy (-after 1171). Henri Bishop of Beauvais confirmed an exchange of property between the abbeys of Lannoy and Beaupré, consented to by “Helias vicedominus Gerborredi ad cujus feodum ipsa terra pertinebat, cum uxore sua Martina et filiis suis Willelmo et Helia, Johanna et Drogone”, by charter dated 1153[1360]. “Willelmus [...cum uxore mea et liberis cum fratribus...meis] et Petrus [...cum Girardo et ceteris fratribus...meis] vicedomini Gerboreti” confirmed the donation of “terram suam de Ursimonte” made to Lannoy abbey by “Benzo de Reio...” by charter dated 1160, witnessed by “Helius frater Willelmi, Girardus frater Petri...”[1361]. “Willelmus vicedominus Gerboredi” confirmed the donation of property “in territorio Ursimontis et Auboudimasnil” made to Lannoy abbey by “Radulfus Waleran...” by charter dated 1171, witnessed by “...Helias frater meus...”[1362].

e) ADA de Gerberoy (-after 1160). “Hugo de Britolio, Galeranus frater eius, Ada uxor Hugonis” subscribed a charter dated 1157 which records a donation to Beaupré[1365]. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by a charter dated 1160, which records a donation to Beaupré made by “Gérard de Caigny”, subscribed by “Hugo de Britulio, gener ipsius Helye vicedomini Gerboredensis”[1366]. “Hugo de Crevecuer...et uxor mea Ada et filii mei et filiæ meæ omnes...Ebrardus, Ingelranus, Matilda, Sara et Petronilla” donated “terra de Mormaisons” to Beauvais Saint-Lucien by undated charter[1367]. m (before 1157) HUGUES de Breteuil Seigneur de Crèvecœur, son of ERARD [III] Seigneur de Breteuil & his [first/second] wife [Beatrix de Coucy/Ivette ---] (-[28] Mar 1184, bur Abbaye de Breteuil).

1. RICHARD de Gerberoy, son of --- . m --- d’Aumâle, daughter of ETIENNE Comte d’Aumâle & his wife Hawise de Mortimer.

J. SEIGNEURS de MELLO

Mello is a small village in the canton of Neuilly-en-Thelle, arrondissement of Senlis, in the present-day département of Oise, about 45 kilometres north of Paris. In medieval times, it was the site of an important castle, the earliest references to which in the primary sources date to the late 11th century. Depoin refers to the château de Mello as “le chef-lieu d’une très ancienne seigneurie du Beauvaisis”[1430]. The family of the seigneurs de Mello rose to some prominence in the region, as shown by the position of their names in the subscriber lists of various charters which are quoted below. One branch of the family settled in the county of Auxerre in the duchy of Burgundy (see BURGUNDY DUCHY NOBILITY). There was a tradition, now impossible to verify, that the family was descended from Charlemagne: Hugues le Poitevin’s mid-12th century Histoire de Vézelay, when recording the appointment as abbot of “Guilelmum de Meloto”, adds that he “Caroli Magni de Rupe Merloti proles edidit”[1431]. Depoin makes the point that the name Dreux, borne by many members of the Mello, was also closely associated with the Carolingian dynasty[1432].

The reconstruction of the early generations of the family is problematic. The genealogy as shown by Père Anselme is inaccurate and incomplete[1433]. Later attempts, in particular those of Depoin in the early 20th century, have been confused by the additon of a possible “Gilbert [II] Seigneur de Mello” in the early 12th century. This results from an interpretation of a mid-12th century charter which names numerous members of the family, and refers to an early grant of property by "dominus Gillebertus de Mello" to one of his sons[1434]. However, a careful study of the chronology of the family shows that there is insufficient time for the insertion of Gilbert [II] as an additional generation and that this charter must in fact refer to Gilbert [I] Seigneur de Mello. In addition, no other references have been found in charters to a Gilbert [II], although all other members of the family are recorded in numerous documents. I am grateful to Jean-Claude Chuat for providing information on many charters which have been useful in establishing the reconstruction which is shown below.

The chronology suggests that the following two individuals probably belonged to the generation preceding that of Gilbert [I] de Mello who is shown below, assuming that it is correct (as stated by Depoin), that Yves was appointed archdeacon of Brie in 1050. There is no indication that Yves and Dreux were brothers, but this is likely, although the earliest mention of Dreux is later than that of Yves.

1. YVES de Mello (-after [1087]). "Godefridus...Parisiorum episcopus" granted "altare Maierolis ville" {Marolles-en-Brie, canton Boissy Saint-Léger, arr. Corbeil} to Paris Saint-Martin-des-Champs, with the consent of “Drogone archidiacono...Ivone archidiacono in cuius archidiaconatu altare illud consistit”, by charter dated to [1087][1435]. Archdeacon of Brie. "Godefridus...Parisiorum episcopus" granted "altare Maierolis ville" {Marolles-en-Brie, canton Boissy Saint-Léger, arr. Corbeil} to Paris Saint-Martin-des-Champs, with the consent of “Drogone archidiacono...Ivone archidiacono in cuius archidiaconatu altare illud consistit”, by charter dated to [1087][1436]. Depoin states “Ives I archdiacre de Brie de 1050 à 1099 est désigné catégoriquement dans un texte sous l’appellation Ivo de Merlou” but he does not cite the source in question[1437]. However, the Mello connection with Marolles-en-Brie is suggested by the charter dated to [3 Aug 1117/14 Apr 1118] under which "Drocho archidiaconus Parisiensis" (seal “Drochonis de Mello archidiaconi Parisiensis”) donated property "in villa...Marollas...apud Chevriacum villam et apud Meindres" {Marolles-en-Brie, canton Boissy Saint-Léger, arr. Corbeil, Chevry, canton Brie-Comte-Robert, arr. Melun, Mandres, ca. Boissy-Saint-Léger, arr. Corbeil} to Paris Saint-Martin-des-Champs[1438].

2. DREUX [Drogo] [de Mello] (-1097). Archdeacon of Vexin. Archdeacon at Paris. Depoin states that Dreux archdeacon of Vexin, then archdeacon of Paris “dès 1067, mort en 1097” is not “dénommé “de Mello” mais on a des données équivalentes”[1439]. "Godefridus...Parisiorum episcopus" granted "altare Maierolis ville" {Marolles-en-Brie, canton Boissy Saint-Léger, arr. Corbeil} to Paris Saint-Martin-des-Champs, with the consent of “Drogone archidiacono...Ivone archidiacono in cuius archidiaconatu altare illud consistit”, by charter dated to [1087][1440].

[Four] siblings, parents not known:

1. GILBERT [I] de Mello (-after [before 1106]). A charter dated to before 1106 records a donation to the priory of Saint-Leu d’Esserent, guaranteed by "Gislebertus de Marlo et filius eius Drogo", witnessed by "Philippo cognomento Compains", and the subsequent challenge of the donation and settlement of the challenge[1441]. Depoin suggests the existence of a Gilbert [II] de Mello, supposed son of Dreux [I] and father of Gilbert [I]’s two younger sons Guillaume and Yves who are shown below[1442]. However, the chronology of births of the Mello family, as shown below, would not permit the insertion of another generation. m ---. The name of Gilbert's wife is not known. It is possible that Gilbert [I] married twice and that his two sons Guillaume and the younger Yves, shown below, were sons of this supposed second marriage. The second son named Yves would presumably have been born after the death of Gilbert [I]’s first son named Yves. Gilbert [I] & his wife had five children:

a) YVES de Mello (-after 1092). An undated charter records transactions relating to the donation of “ecclesiam...sancti Dyonisii de Bunduslo” to Longpont, including the consent to the donation by “Odo comes Corboilensis, ex cujus sisco est”, witnessed by “...Yvo de Merlo filius Gisleberti...”[1443]. The charter in question is dated to [1130] by the editor of the cartulary. However, the following charter in the cartulary records the consent of “Gaufredus...Parisiorum episcopus et Joscelinus archidiaconus, monachis Cluniacensibus” to the donation of “altare...in villa...Bunduflum...in honore...beati Dionisii” dated 1092[1444].

b) DREUX [I] de Mello ([1070/80]-after [1117/18]). A charter dated to before 1106 records a donation to the priory of Saint-Leu d’Esserent, guaranteed by "Gislebertus de Marlo et filius eius Drogo", witnessed by "Philippo cognomento Compains", and the subsequent challenge of the donation and settlement of the challenge[1445]. His very approximate birth date range is calculated by working back from the birth date range of his grandson Guillaume. The approximate nature of the estimate must be emphasised. Nevertheless, it is useful in dismissing Depoin’s hypothesis concerning the existence of a Gilbert [II] de Mello who he suggests was the son of Dreux [I] and father of the two brothers Guillaume and Yves who are shown below as younger children of Gilbert [I].

- see below.

c) GUY de Mello (-after [1117/18]). A charter dated to [1117/18] “tempore Rainoldi comitis” [Renaud [II] de Clermont Comte d’Amiens] relates to "ecclesie...Ambianensi beate Marie et sancti Firmini...apud Nogentel, villam Belvacensem" witnessed by "...Drogone de Merloaco, Guidone fratre suo"[1446].

d) GUILLAUME de Mello (-after [13 Oct 1146/14 Jun 1147]). An undated charter records that "dominus Gillebertus de Mello" had "villam in territorio Parisiensi...Beuranc" {Boran, canton Neilly-en-Thelic, arr. Senlis, on the left bank of the river Oise}, which he had granted to "Yvoni filio suo quum fecit eum clericum", that it was mortgaged to “Stephano dapifero” [therefore dated to before 1127, when the Garlande family fell into disgrace], recovered by “ipsius Yvonis frater Guillelmus” before leaving for Jerusalem and donated to “Dnus Guillelmus tunc temporis cœnobii Pontesiensis abbas, nepos Yvonis et Guillelmi”, including rights of “Rainaudus nepos abbatis et frater Dni Guillelmi de Melloto”, and that “Yvo siquidem patruus abbatis” now donated all his interest in the land inherited from his father with the consent of “Guillelmus frater Yvonis”, witnessed by “Yvo decanus Belvacensis, Guillelmus de Anogilo nepos eius, Theobaldus archidiaconus Belvacensis, Guillelmus junior dominus de Merlo...”[1447]. The editor of the cartulary dates the charter to 1157. However, Depoin demonstrates that it must be dated to [13 Oct 1146/14 Jun 1147] because of the succession of abbots of Pontoise Saint-Martin at the time and the departure of Louis VII King of France on crusade, presumably accompanied by Guillaume de Mello[1448]. “Willelmus abbas” [abbot of Pontoise Saint-Martin, see below] addressed “Ingelramnum Aculeium”, with the support of “...Willelmo de Merlou avunculo Dni abbatis” by undated charter which notes that “isdem Ingelramnus adhuc juvenis est et absque uxore”, which probably dates the document to the late 1140s/early 1150s[1449].

e) YVES de Mello (-after [13 Oct 1146/14 Jun 1147]). An undated charter, dated to [13 Oct 1146/14 Jun 1147] as explained above, records that "dominus Gillebertus de Mello" had "villam in territorio Parisiensi...Beuranc", which he had granted to "Yvoni filio suo quum fecit eum clericum", that it was mortgaged to “Stephano dapifero”, recovered by “ipsius Yvonis frater Guillelmus” before leaving for Jerusalem and donated to “Dnus Guillelmus tunc temporis cœnobii Pontesiensis abbas, nepos Yvonis et Guillelmi”, including rights of “Rainaudus nepos abbatis et frater Dni Guillelmi de Melloto”, and that “Yvo siquidem patruus abbatis” now donated all his interest in the land inherited from his father with the consent of “Guillelmus frater Yvonis”, witnessed by “Yvo decanus Belvacensis, Guillelmus de Anogilo nepos eius, Theobaldus archidiaconus Belvacensis, Guillelmus junior dominus de Merlo...”[1450].

2. [DREUX de Mello (-after [3 Aug 1117/14 Apr 1118]). "Drocho archidiaconus Parisiensis" (seal “Drochonis de Mello archidiaconi Parisiensis”) donated property "in villa...Marollas...apud Chevriacum villam et apud Meindres" {Marolles-en-Brie, canton Boissy Saint-Léger, arr. Corbeil, Chevry, canton Brie-Comte-Robert, arr. Melun, Mandres, ca. Boissy-Saint-Léger, arr. Corbeil} to Paris Saint-Martin-des-Champs by charter dated to [3 Aug 1117/14 Apr 1118][1451].

3. [MARTIN de Mello (-after May 1103). His parentage is not known. However, his mention in 1103 suggests that he may have been the brother of Gilbert [I] de Mello. Canon at Notre-Dame de Paris: “Martin de Mello, chanoine de Notre-Dame de Paris” founded the church of Mello in May 1103[1452].]

4. [--- . Her son is named “nepos Gislberti de Marlo” in the source quoted below. Assuming that “nepos” can be interpreted in its strict sense of nephew, Philippe’s mother must have been the sister of Gilbert [I] de Mello. The identity of her husband is not known. m ---.] Two children:

a) PHILIPPE "Compains" (-after [1091]). A charter dated to [1091] records the settlement of a challenge by "Ricardi fratris Widonis de Rupe", represented by "miles…nepos Gisleberti de Marlo…Compains", to the donation by "Hugo comes de Domno Martino" of "feodum…Vuidonis de Rupe" to the priory of Saint-Leu d’Esserent, with compensation paid to "Ricardo…et Widoni…filioque eius Widoni"[1453]. A charter dated to before 1106 records a donation to the priory of Saint-Leu d’Esserent, guaranteed by "Gislebertus de Marlo et filius eius Drogo", witnessed by "Philippo cognomento Compains et Garnerus frater eius", and the subsequent challenge of the donation and settlement of the challenge[1454].

b) GARNIER . A charter dated to before 1106 records a donation to the priory of Saint-Leu d’Esserent, guaranteed by "Gislebertus de Marlo et filius eius Drogo", witnessed by "Philippo cognomento Compains et Garnerus frater eius", and the subsequent challenge of the donation and settlement of the challenge[1455].

1. AUBRY [I] [Payen] de Mello (-[after 1106]). "Albericus…vocabatur Paganus de Marlo" donated milling revenue “de Hescerens, que de feodo comitis Domni martini erat” to Saint-Leu d’Esserent, with the consent of "uxore sua Adalaide" whose dowry it was, by charter dated to before 1107[1456]. Depoin states that “la parenté directe d’Aubri avec le chef de la maison de Mello ressort clairement du fait qu’au nombre de ses témoins il prit Gaubert curé de Boran, paroisse dont la seigneurie était en partie détenue, quelques années plus tard, par Gilbert II de Mello”[1457]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Aubry was the son of Gilbert [I] de Mello whom he predeceased[1458]. There appears no basis for affirming this affiliation, although the reference to “de Marlo” does appear to confirm that Aubry [I] was a member of the Mello family. Depoin states that “Aubri Payen peut être regardé comme un fils de Gilbert I qui mourut avant son père”[1459]. It is unclear how he concludes that Aubry must have predeceased his father, but whatever the reason in any case it cannot be concluded with certainty that Aubry was the son of Gilbert. m ADELA, daughter of ---. "Albericus…vocabatur Paganus de Marlo" donated milling revenue “de Hescerens, que de feodo comitis Domni martini erat” to Saint-Leu d’Esserent, with the consent of "uxore sua Adalaide" whose dowry it was, by charter dated to before 1107[1460]. "Uxor illius Adalaidis" donated the remaining part of the milling revenue, kept by "Albericus…Paganus de Marlo" during his lifetime, by undated charter[1461]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[1462], she was Adela de Dammartin Dame de Bulles, daughter of Hugues [I] Comte de Dammartin & his wife Roharde de Bulles, who married secondly Lancelin [II] de Beauvais. Presumably this hypothesis is based on the charter dated to before 1107 quoted above. However, that document could indicate that Adela belonged to a family which had been enfeoffed with the property in question by the comte de Dammartin. It appears that the hypothesis is unlikely to be correct as Adela, wife of Lancelin, did not name her son Aubry de Mello in her foundation of the priory of Wariville which names her children by her supposed second husband. Aubry [I] & his wife had one child:]

a) [AUBRY [II] (-1129 or after). According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Aubry [II] was the son of Aubry [I] de Mello[1463]. It appears that this is speculative based only on the name and the hypothesis that his mother was a member of the family of the first comtes de Dammartin. Chambrier de France 1122 to 1129[1464]. "Amalricus...Silvanectensis episcopus" confirmed the donation of “usum...totius forestæ Espioniæ de Bealci” made to Charlieu by “Albericus camerarius et filius eius Albericus comes de Dammartin”, with the consent of “Johanne scancione regis et uxore sua Helisendi et Petro filio suo”, by charter dated 1162[1465].]

- COMTES de DAMMARTIN.

The following group represents an approximate reconstruction of another family named Mello. It is not known whether they were related to the main Mello family or if they were unrelated knights at Mello who adopted the name of their castle.

1. HUGUES de Mello (-before 1130). m HELISENDE, daughter of --- (-after 1130). “Helisendis relicta Hugonis de Merloto, Petrus filius eius” issued a charter for Saint-Lucien dated 1130[1466]. Hugues & his wife had [four] children:

a) PIERRE de Mello (-after 1130). “Helisendis relicta Hugonis de Merloto, Petrus filius eius” issued a charter for Saint-Lucien dated 1130[1467].

b) [HUGUES de Mello (-after 1161). “...Hugo de Melloto...” canon of the church of Saint-Quentin subscribed a charter of Hugues doyen du chapitre de Beauvais dated 1161[1468]. His name suggests that he was the son of the earlier Hugues de Mello.]

c) [GUILLAUME de Mello (-after 1157). The name of his son suggests that Guillaume was closely related to the family of Hugues de Mello, maybe a younger son. [“Guillaume de Merlo et Raimundus frater eius, canonicus de Merlo” donated “une prébende de Merlou” to the abbey of Saint-Quentin by charter dated to [1160][1469]. It is not known whether the donor was the same person as the father of Pierre de Mello.] m ---. The name of Guillaume’s wife is not known. Guillaume & his wife had one child:

i) PIERRE de Mello . “Pierre de Mello” confirmed a donation of wine to the Hôtel-Dieu de Beauvais made “Guillaume son père, qui partait pour la croisade avec le roi”, dated 1157 (although the well-known crusade of Louis VII King of France is of course dated to 1147)[1470].

d) [RAYMOND de Mello (-after [1160]). “Guillaume de Merlo et Raimundus frater eius, canonicus de Merlo” donated “une prébende de Merlou” to the abbey of Saint-Quentin by charter dated to [1160][1471]. It is not known whether the donor was the same person as the father of Pierre de Mello.]

DREUX [I] de Mello, son of GILBERT [I] de Mello & his wife --- ([1070/80]-after [1117/18]). A charter dated to before 1106 records a donation to the priory of Saint-Leu d’Esserent, guaranteed by "Gislebertus de Marlo et filius eius Drogo", witnessed by "Philippo cognomento Compains", and the subsequent challenge of the donation and settlement of the challenge[1472]. His very approximate birth date range is calculated by working back from the birth date range of his grandson Guillaume. The approximate nature of the estimate must be emphasised. Nevertheless, it is useful in dismissing Depoin’s hypothesis concerning the existence of a Gilbert [II] de Mello who he suggests was the son of Dreux [I] and father of the two brothers Guillaume and Yves who are shown below as younger children of Gilbert [I][1473]. Seigneur de Mello. Philippe I King of France received the homage of “nepotem nostrum Theobaldum comitem Trecensem”, the king being seconded by “...Droco de Melloto...”, by charter dated Apr 1110[1474]. A charter dated to [1117/18] “tempore Rainoldi comitis” [Renaud [II] de Clermont Comte d’Amiens] relates to "ecclesie...Ambianensi beate Marie et sancti Firmini...apud Nogentel, villam Belvacensem" witnessed by "...Drogone de Merloaco, Guidone fratre suo"[1475].

m (before 1101) RICHILDE de Clermont, daughter of HUGUES Comte de Clermont-en-Beauvaisis & his wife Marguerite de Ramerupt. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified. Depoin states that the Histoire de Vézelay, by Hugues le Poitevin, names “Dreux de Mello...et...Richeud, fille de Hugues de Mouchy, sœur de Renaud II de Clermont et de Félicie reine d’Aragon” as the parents of Guillaume abbé de Vézelay[1476]. However, the passage in question has not been found in the edition of the Histoire which was consulted during the preparation of the present document. The introduction of the name Renaud into the family after this marriage suggests that the affiliation may be correct. A charter which confirms donations to the abbey of Saint-Paul-en-Beauvaisis includes the donation of “medietatem altaris de Camberonne” made by “Richeldis de Merloto” and of “aliam medietatem” by “Berneri de Claromonte” (the latter not yet having been identified, although his name and joint ownership of the property in question suggests a relationship between Richilde and the Clermont family)[1477].

Dreux [I] & his wife had [five] children:

1. DREUX [II] de Mello ([1095/1105]-before [13 Oct 1146/14 Jun 1147]). His parentage is assumed from the undated charter, dated to [13 Oct 1146/14 Jun 1147] as explained above, which records the history of "villam in territorio Parisiensi...Beuranc", which names “ipsius Yvonis frater Guillelmus”, “Dnus Guillelmus tunc temporis cœnobii Pontesiensis abbas, nepos Yvonis et Guillelmi”, and the supposed sons of Dreux [II] “Rainaudus nepos abbatis et frater Dni Guillelmi de Melloto”[1478]. His date of birth is estimated from the estimated date of birth of his son Guillaume, as shown below. “Drogo de Mello et filii eius Drogo et Rainaldus...” subscribed a charter of Eudes Bishop of Beauvais for for the foundation of Froidmont abbey, dated to [1134][1479]. “...Drogo de Merlo et filii eius Drogo et Rainaldus...” witnessed the charter dated 1136 which records various donations to Trie Sainte-Marie including “domina Adelidis de Buglis et filii eius Lancelinus...Manasses et Rainaldus sororque eorum Beatrix et eiusdem Beatricis filii Hildeburgis et Mathildis” who donated “in...terræ Hermarum...Hez...et Hulsoy...”[1480]. ["Dnum Drogonem de Marloto..." subscribed the undated charter, dated to [1150], which records an agreement between Esserent Saint-Leu and Jumièges concerning a proposed mill on the river Thérain[1481]. If the subscriber was Dreux [II], and the date of his death is correctly as estimated as above, the dating of this charter is presumably inaccurate.] m --- de Bulles, daughter of LANCELIN [II] de Beauvais Seigneur de Bulles & his wife Adela de Dammartin. "Nobilis mulier Adelidis de Bullis" founded the priory of Wariville, with the consent of "filiorum suorum Lancelini…Manasseri, Renaldi, Theobaldi et filiarum suarum Beatricis, Mabiliæ, Basilidis. et quorumdam etiam successorum...Willelmi de Merloto, Joannis et Roberti fratrum de Conti", confirmed by the bull of Pope Alexander III dated 10 Jul 1175[1482]. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 1167 under which [her son] “Willelmus de Merloto et frater meus Rainaldus antequam filium vel filiam haberet” granted property to “Manasserius de Bullis avunculus noster”, with the consent of “Adelisa matre sua et fratribus suis Lancelino atque Rainaldo”[1483]. The wife of Dreux [II] Seigneur de Mello was clearly therefore one of the daughters of Lancelin [II] de Beauvais Seigneur de Bulles. No primary source has been identified in which she is named. Newman suggests that she was the sister named Basilie, as one of her daughters bore that name[1484]. However, the daughter could just as easily have been named after her maternal aunt. Various documents quoted in this section which record the succession to the seigneurie de Bulles, after the deaths of the brothers Lancelin, Manassès and Renaud, name Guillaume Seigneur de Mello (son of Dreux [II]) before Robert de Conty, suggesting that his claim was superior by inheritance and that his mother was therefore one of the brothers’ older sisters. Nothing is known about the fate of the sister named Rohese. It is not impossible that she married and had children. The sister Beatrix is named in 1136 with two daughters. Their father is not known, but their names are not typical of the Mello family, although it is possible that Beatrix married Dreux [II] as her second husband. The sister named Mabile allegedly followed an ecclesiastical career, although it is possible that she embraced religion after the death of her husband. Lastly, the existence of another unrecorded older sister, already married and away from home when her mother founded Wariville so not named in the foundation document, cannot be excluded. Yet another difficulty with Guillaume de Mello’s inheritance of Bulles results from the charter dated 1181 which names "nos duo domini Bullarum…Willaumus de Meloto, Ermentrudis uxor mea et Renaldus filius meus…Robertus de Conteio alius dominus Bullarum et mei nepotes Manasserus et Johannes"[1485]. The naming of Guillaume’s wife Ermentrude with him in this document would normally indicate that he had acquired his right to Bulles through her. Ermentrude is recorded in primary sources as châtelaine de Roye, although her parents have not been identified. The Guillaume de Mello/Ermentrude de Roye marriage can probably be dated to [1165], given Guillaume’s birth which is estimated to [1130/35], the fact that the couple are named with five children in a charter dated 1172[1486], and because Ermentrude remarried after Guillaume died in 1201. This would place Ermentrude’s birth in [1150]. If Guillaume’s right to Bulles derived from her, from a chronological point of view she must have been either the niece or great-niece of Manassès de Bulles, meaning that she would have been her husband’s first cousin or his first cousin once removed, a degree of consanguinity which would have caused obvious problems with the papacy. Despite the wording of the 1181 charter, it is probable therefore that Guillaume inherited Bulles through his mother. Dreux [II] & his wife had five children:

a) DREUX de Mello (-[1136/53]). “Drogo de Mello et filii eius Drogo et Rainaldus...” subscribed a charter of Eudes Bishop of Beauvais for for the foundation of Froidmont abbey, dated to [1134][1487]. “...Drogo de Merlo et filii eius Drogo et Rainaldus...” witnessed the charter dated 1136 which records various donations to Trie Sainte-Marie including “domina Adelidis de Buglis et filii eius Lancelinus...Manasses et Rainaldus sororque eorum Beatrix et eiusdem Beatricis filii Hildeburgis et Mathildis” who donated “in...terræ Hermarum...Hez...et Hulsoy...”[1488]. The donors are identified as the mother-in-law of Dreux [II] de Mello and her children, which suggests that the witnesses were Dreux [II] and his sons by his known wife Basilie de Bulles. The later succession of the couple’s son Guillaume indicates that their sons Dreux and Renaud presumably predeceased their father.

b) RENAUD de Mello (-after 1136). “Drogo de Mello et filii eius Drogo et Rainaldus...” subscribed a charter of Eudes Bishop of Beauvais for for the foundation of Froidmont abbey, dated to [1134][1489]. “...Drogo de Merlo et filii eius Drogo et Rainaldus...” witnessed the charter dated 1136 which records various donations to Trie Sainte-Marie including “domina Adelidis de Buglis et filii eius Lancelinus...Manasses et Rainaldus sororque eorum Beatrix et eiusdem Beatricis filii Hildeburgis et Mathildis” who donated “in...terræ Hermarum...Hez...et Hulsoy...”[1490]. The donors are identified as the mother-in-law of Dreux [II] de Mello and her children, which suggests that the witnesses were Dreux [II] and his sons by his known wife Basilie de Bulles. The later succession of the couple’s son Guillaume indicates that their sons Dreux and Renaud presumably predeceased their father. The absence of Dreux’s son Guillaume from the witness list suggests that he was either too young to subscribe or not yet born at the time. This suggests in turn that the witness Renaud was not the same person as Guillaume’s younger brother Renaud who is named below and that the older Renaud must have died young.

c) GUILLAUME de Mello ([1130/35]-1201). His date of birth is suggested by his absence from the charter dated 1136, quoted above, in which his two, presumably older, brothers are named. Guillaume witnessed the undated charter, dated to [13 Oct 1146/14 Jun 1147] as explained above, quoted below, as “Guillelmus junior dominus de Melloto”, which also indicates that he was young at the time. Seigneur de Mello.

- see below.

d) BASILIE de Mello (-1201 or after). “Baziliam, Willelmi de Merloto sororem” donated land “prope grangiam...Vallis Vitrea” to Froidmont by charter dated 1177[1491]. “Willelmus de Merloto et Rainaldus filius meus et Basilia soror mea” donated property by charter dated 1193[1492]. “Renaldus dominus Melloci” noted that “Basilia amita mea” had donated produce from “clauso suo apud Sernicourt” to Froidmont by charter dated 1201[1493].

e) RENAUD de Mello (-after 1178). As explained above, Renaud was probably born late in his father’s life, after the death of his older brother of the same name. The charter dated 1167, quoted below, which indicates that Renaud was childless at the time also suggests that he may have been born later than his siblings. An undated charter, dated to [13 Oct 1146/14 Jun 1147] as explained above, records that "dominus Gillebertus de Mello" had "villam in territorio Parisiensi...Beuranc", which he had granted to "Yvoni filio suo quum fecit eum clericum", that it was invaded by “Stephano dapifero”, recovered by “ipsius Yvonis frater Guillelmus” before leaving for Jerusalem and donated to “Dnus Guillelmus tunc temporis cœnobii Pontesiensis abbas, nepos Yvonis et Guillelmi”, including rights of “Rainaudus nepos abbatis et frater Dni Guillelmi de Melloto”, and that “Yvo siquidem patruus abbatis” now donated all his interest in the land inherited from his father with the consent of “Guillelmus frater Yvonis”, witnessed by “Yvo decanus Belvacensis, Guillelmus de Anogilo nepos eius, Theobaldus archidiaconus Belvacensis, Guillelmus junior dominus de Merlo...”[1494]. "Milo de Noeriis, Rainaudus de Merlo, Stephanus de Petrapertusia..." witnessed the charter dated 1162 under which “Guillermus Nivernensis comes” donated property to Tonnerre Saint-Michel[1495]. Hugues le Poitevin’s Histoire de Vézelay records that “Guilelmus de Merloto et Rainaldus frater eius” reached agreement with “patruum suum Guilelmum abbatem Vizeliac.”, dated to the mid-12th century[1496]. “Willelmus de Merloto et frater meus Rainaldus antequam filium vel filiam haberet” granted property to “Manasserius de Bullis avunculus noster”, with the consent of “Adelisa matre sua et fratribus suis Lancelino atque Rainaldo”, by charter dated 1167[1497]. “Guillelmus de Merloto” renounced claims over “terra de Riencort et Morviler” in favour of Saint-Just-en-Chaussée, with the confirmation of “Rainaldi avunculi mei [=Renaud Seigneur de Bulles, his maternal uncle]...Rainaldo fratre meo”, by charter dated 1171[1498]. “Rainaldus de Merloto...uxore mea Avitia et filio meo Manasse” donated property by charter dated 1173[1499]. “Rainaldus de Merloto” donated property with the consent of “uxore mea Avicia et liberis meis Manasse et Basilia” donated property by charter dated 1178[1500]. m ([1170/73]) AVICE de Milly, daughter of SAGALON Seigneur de Milly & his wife Alix --- (-after 1202). “Sangalo de Milli” confirmed the donation by Sagalon de Gerberoy, with the consent of “fratribus suis Roberto et Guidone et uxore sua Aelidi et filiabus suis Avicia et Amilia”, by charter dated 1154[1501]. “Sagalo de Miliaco” donated “nemus Widonis majoris de Achy” to Beaupré, with the consent of “Aelidis uxor eius et filii eorum Petrus, Gervasius, Radulfus et filie Avicia et Margareta”, by charter dated 1169[1502]. A charter dated 1170 records that “Wido frater Sagalonis de Miliaco” left the secular life and donated “decimam totius territorii de Monsterol” to Beaupré, with the consent of “Widoni Robertus frater...Regina uxor Roberti et filii eorum Robertus, Amilia, Sagalo quoque de M. frater jamdicti Roberti cum filiis suis Gervasio, Widone, Sagalone et Radulfo necnon et filia Avicia, necnon et Petrus jamdictus Sagalonis filius”[1503]. “Rainaldus de Merloto...uxore mea Avitia et filio meo Manasse” donated property by charter dated 1173[1504]. “Rainaldus de Merloto” donated property with the consent of “uxore mea Avicia et liberis meis Manasse et Basilia” donated property by charter dated 1178[1505]. “Avitia uxor Renaudi nobilis viri de Merloto” donated property by charter dated 1201 which records a previous donation made by “Aelidi filie nostre...quamdiu vixerit”, witnessed by “domini Petris fratris mei de Miliaco”[1506]. “Avicia uxor Renaudi nobilis viri de Melloto” names “fratres suos Petrus de Milliaco et Radulfum” in a charter for Variville dated 1202[1507]. Renaud & his wife had four children:

i) MANASSES de Mello ([1171/73]-after 1208). “Rainaldus de Merloto...uxore mea Avitia et filio meo Manasse” donated property by charter dated 1173[1508]. “Rainaldus de Merloto” donated property with the consent of “uxore mea Avicia et liberis meis Manasse et Basilia” donated property by charter dated 1178[1509]. “Willelmus filius Renaldi senioris de Melloto” noted donations to Froidmont made by “frater meus Manasserus” by charter dated 1208[1510]. [same person as...? MANASSES de Bulles . This co-identity is not certain. It is suggested by the name Dreux born by one of the children of Manassès de Bulles. “Manasses de Buglis et uxor mea Aelis et filii mei Manasses et Drogo” donated land to the monks of Beaupré by charter dated 1202[1511]. The Bulles inheritance was shared between the Mello and Conty families. It is perfectly possible that Manassès de Mello, son of Renaud de Mello, adopted the name Bulles. The other possibility is that the charter refers to a member of the Conty family. m ALIX, daughter of --- (-after 1202). “Manasses de Buglis et uxor mea Aelis et filii mei Manasses et Drogo” donated land to the monks of Beaupré by charter dated 1202[1512]. Manassès & his wife had two children:]

(a) [MANASSES (-after 1202). “Manasses de Buglis et uxor mea Aelis et filii mei Manasses et Drogo” donated land to the monks of Beaupré by charter dated 1202[1513].]

(b) [DREUX (-after 1202). “Manasses de Buglis et uxor mea Aelis et filii mei Manasses et Drogo” donated land to the monks of Beaupré by charter dated 1202[1514].]

ii) BASILIE de Mello (-after 1178). “Rainaldus de Merloto” donated property with the consent of “uxore mea Avicia et liberis meis Manasse et Basilia” donated property by charter dated 1178[1515].

iii) GUILLAUME de Mello (-after 1208). “Willelmus filius Renaldi senioris de Melloto” noted donations to Froidmont made by “frater meus Manasserus” by charter dated 1208[1516].

iv) ALIX de Mello (-before 1201). “Avitia uxor Renaudi nobilis viri de Merloto” donated property by charter dated 1201 which records a previous donation made by “Aelidi filie nostre...quamdiu vixerit”[1517].

2. GUILLAUME de Mello (-3/4 Feb 1171). Abbot of Pontoise Saint-Martin 1146. An undated charter, dated to [13 Oct 1146/14 Jun 1147] as explained above, records that "dominus Gillebertus de Mello" had "villam in territorio Parisiensi...Beuranc", which he had granted to "Yvoni filio suo quum fecit eum clericum", that it was mortgaged to “Stephano dapifero”, recovered by “ipsius Yvonis frater Guillelmus” before leaving for Jerusalem and donated to “Dnus Guillelmus tunc temporis cœnobii Pontesiensis abbas, nepos Yvonis et Guillelmi”, including rights of “Rainaudus nepos abbatis et frater Dni Guillelmi de Melloto”, and that “Yvo siquidem patruus abbatis” now donated all his interest in the land inherited from his father with the consent of “Guillelmus frater Yvonis”, witnessed by “Yvo decanus Belvacensis, Guillelmus de Anogilo nepos eius, Theobaldus archidiaconus Belvacensis, Guillelmus junior dominus de Merlo...”[1518]. Abbot of Vézelay. Hugues le Poitevin’s Histoire de Vézelay records the appointment as abbot of “Guilelmum abbatem S. Martini Pontisarensis”, dated to 15 Oct 1161, who would hold the position for 15 years, adding in a later passage that “Guilelmum de Meloto...Caroli Magni de Rupe Merloti proles edidit”[1519]. The necrology of Pontoise Saint-Martin records the death “III Non Feb” of “domni Guillermi Vizeliacensis abbatis”[1520]. The necrology of Beauvais Cathedral records the death “II Non Feb” of “Guillelmus de Melloto quondam canonicus noster”[1521].

3. [RENAUD de Mello (-[killed Tripoli 1152]). It is unlikely that Renaud de Mello belonged to an earlier generation of Mello as the name appears to have been introduced into the family after the marriage of Dreux [I]. His mention in [1130] indicates the unlikelihood of his being the child of Dreux [II], whose sons appear in documents only with their father in the early 1130s. It is therefore most probable that Renaud was the son of Dreux [I]. “...Renaldus de Melloto...” subscribed a charter of Pierre Bishop of Beauvais for Saint-Quentin, dated to [1130][1522]. The dating clause of a charter dated 5 Feb ----, under which "Drogo dominus Monciaci" freed “Hauvi uxorem Gisleberti de Meirart”, with the advice of “uxoris meæ Adæ”, refers to “in eodem anno quo mortuus est Rainaldus de Merlodo”[1523]. As the charter relates to Dreux [III] de Moncy, it can presumably be dated to the late 1140s/early 1150s. If that is correct, it is unlikely that “Rainaldus de Merlodo” was the older son of Dreux [II] de Mello who was named Renaud. The other possibility is the possible son of Dreux [I] de Mello who is named in the charter dated to [1130]. The hypothesis appears corroborated by the Nobiliaire de Nivernois which records that “Rainaud” third son of Dreux de Mello and Richilde de Clermont “fut tué par les Assassins en 1152”[1524]. William of Tyre records the presence of "Radulphus de Merlo" at Tripoli and in the subsequent chapter that “dominus Radulphus de Merlo” was killed there by “Assissinorum”, dated to 1152[1525]. The reference in the charter dated 5 Feb ---- suggests that “Radulphus” in William of Tyre is an error for “Rainaldus”.]

4. [YVES de Mello (-after [13 Oct 1146/14 Jun 1147]). Deacon of Beauvais. "...Domini Yvonis de Merlo Belvacensis decani..." witnessed the charter dated to [1149] which records that "Radulphus miles de Alvers" became a monk at Pontoise Saint-Martin[1526]. An undated charter, dated to [13 Oct 1146/14 Jun 1147] as explained above, which records the history of "villam in territorio Parisiensi...Beuranc" is witnessed by “Yvo decanus Belvacensis, Guillelmus de Anogilo nepos eius, Theobaldus archidiaconus Belvacensis, Guillelmus junior dominus de Merlo...”[1527].]

5. [daughter . Her relationship to Yves de Mello deacon of Beauvais, and her marriage, are confirmed by the undated charter, dated to [13 Oct 1146/14 Jun 1147] as explained above, which records the history of "villam in territorio Parisiensi...Beuranc", witnessed by “Yvo decanus Belvacensis, Guillelmus de Anogilo nepos eius, Theobaldus archidiaconus Belvacensis, Guillelmus junior dominus de Merlo...”[1528]. m --- Seigneur d’Auneuil, son of ---.]

1. --- de Mello . The identity of the father of Dreux de Mello, ancestor of the Mello family of Burgundy, has not been established. He was presumably a member of the Mello family which is set out above, but this cannot be confirmed. Dreux’s estimated birth date is consistent with Dreux having been a younger son of Dreux [II] Seigneur de Mello, born from his otherwise unrecorded second marriage to Agnes, but this is mere speculation. It is also possible that Agnes’s husband was an otherwise unrecorded brother of Dreux [II]. m as her second husband, AGNES, widow [firstly] of GUILLAUME de Garlande and [secondly] of --- Mauvoisin, daughter of ---. Her three marriages are indicated by the undated charter (dated to after 1166) under which "Robertus comes Mellenti" confirmed donations to Gournay Sainte-Marie made by "pater meus Galerannus comes et mater mea Agnes", in the presence of "Willelmus de Garlanda, Robertus Malusvicinus et Drogo de Mello fratres…"[1529]. The order of the brothers in the document presumably signals their relative seniority by age, and therefore the order of their mother’s three marriages. However, the charter dated 1177 under which [her son] “Drogo de Merloto” donated property from "Mintriaci" {Nitry} to La Charité-sur-Loire, for the souls of “fratris mei Roberti et Vuillelmi ibidem sepultorum”[1530], suggests that Robert Mauvoisin may have been older than Guillaume de Garlande. The order of Agnes’s marriages is not therefore clear. It is assumed that Agnes was heiress to territories in Burgundy which passed to her son Dreux. A different indication is provided by a pair of charters of La Charité-sur-Loire, dated 1177, relating to Nitry (identified as located in Tonnerre), which specify that the land was the fief of “Vuillermo de Merloto”[1531]. If the latter can be identified as Guillaume Seigneur de Mello (see below), this would suggest that the Burgundian properties were held by the Mello family before the marriage of Dreux’s parents. One child:

a) DREUX de Mello ([1130/40]-3 Mar 1218, bur Saint-Bris). His estimated birth date is suggested by his estimated marriage date. Given that Dreux [I] was named in 1216, it is likely that he was born during the later part of the range. "Robertus comes Mellenti" confirmed donations to Gournay Sainte-Marie made by "pater meus Galerannus comes et mater mea Agnes", in the presence of "Willelmus de Garlanda, Robertus Malusvicinus et Drogo de Mello fratres, Willelmus Malusvicinus, Manasses frater eius…", by undated charter dated to after 1166[1532].

GUILLAUME de Mello, son of DREUX [II] Seigneur de Mello & his wife --- de Bulles ([1130/35]-1201).

K. SEIGNEURS de MILLY

Milly was located in the canton of Marseille-en-Beauvaisis in the present-day French département of Oise. Even the ruins of the castle of Milly have long since disappeared[1593]. The early history of the Milly family is complicated by the repeated use of the first name Sagalon, rendering it difficult to identify how many individuals of this name existed. In the early 12th century, the heiress of the Sagalon Milly line married Pierre de Milly, whose ancestry is unknown, whose descendants succeeded as seigneurs de Milly. No family relationship has so far been found between the Seigneurs de Milly-en-Beauvaisis and the Seigneurs de Milly-en-Gâtinais (see the document CENTRAL FRANCE NOBILITY) or the Milly family who were nobles in the kingdom of Jerusalem (see JERUSALEM NOBILITY).

Rohese was presumably her parents’ oldest daughter as their other three known daughters are not named in this charter. She presumably died before 1134, the date of the charter in which her sister Beatrix is named with their brothers Lancelin and Manassès. Her marriage is indicated by a letter of Eudes Bishop of Beauvais to Suger, dated to [1146/47], which records that “P. de Miliaco” (reporting that he was causing difficulties in the Beauvaisis) had married “neptim Manasse de Bulis” [the wife of Pierre de Milly being recorded in another source as Amélie, daughter of Sagalon de Milly, see below] after the annulment of the marriage of “prædictus Manasses” and “hujus Petri amitam”[1614].
