INTRODUCTION

 

 

In 956, the duchy of Burgundy included the counties of Auxerre, Autun, Avallon, Beaune, Chalon, Dijon, Langres, Nevers and Tonnerre, and probably of the counties of Mâcon and Oscheret[1].  King Lothaire confiscated the counties of Langres and Dijon in 967 and gave them to the Bishop of Langres[2]

 

The main counties of the Duchy of Burgundy were Auxerre, Chalon-sur-Saône, Langres (held by the Seigneurs de Saulx), Mâcon (held by the counts of Burgundy), Nevers, and Tonnerre.  The counties of Autun, Auxois and Dijon existed until the 11th century but appear to have been absorbed into the duchy of Burgundy.  The main castellan lineages were the Seigneurs de Bâgé, Beaujeu, Beaumont, Brancion, Donzy, Saulx, Seignelay, Semur, Tilchâtel and Vergy. 

 

 

 

Chapter 1.    COMTES d'AUTUN

 

 

The county of Autun is one of the first Burgundian counties to be mentioned in primary sources.  The first recorded Comte d'Autun is Theoderic [I], whose origins are not known definitely but who was most probably related to the Carolingian family of Childebrand/Nibelung (see CAROLINGIAN NOBILITY).  His descendants continued to hold the county of Autun until Bernard Marquis of Septimania lost it in 830.  No record has so far been found of the rulers of the county from that date until 864, when it was awarded to Bernard "Plantevelue" son of the previous Comte Bernard.  Possession of the county was disputed by Boson, later King [of Provence], in the late 870s.  He installed his brother Richard, later Duke of Burgundy, as Comte d'Autun.  After the death of Duke Richard in 921, the county of Autun continued to be held by the dukes of Burgundy. 

 

 

1.             THEODERIC [I], son of --- (-[791/15 Dec 804]).  The origin of Comte Theoderic is not known.  An interesting speculation is a relationship with the early Saxon leader Widukind, as explained above.  Comte d'Autun.  Einhard indicates that Theoderich was related to Charles I King of the Franks when he records that in 782 the king sent his three missi "Adalgiso camerario et Geilone comite stabuli et Worado comite palati" to meet "in…Saxonis…Theodericus comes, propinquus regis"[3], the relationship probably being through the wife of Theoderic [I] (see below).  "Carolus…rex Francorum et Langobardorum" gave a judgment by charter dated to [Dec 775] which names "fidelibus…Widrigo, Odrigo, Theodrico, Bernehardo, Albuino, Aginhardo, Berngario comitibus et Anshelmo comite palacii nostri"[4].  Einhard records that Charles I King of the Franks sent "Theodorico comite et Meginfredo camerario suo" to "aquilonalem Danubii ripam" in 791[5].  "Willelmus…comes" names "genitore meo Theuderico et genitrice mea Aldana" in his charter dated 14 Dec 804 (version two: dated 15 Dec 804) for the foundation of the monastery of Gellone[6]

a)             TEUDOIN (-826 or after).  "Willelmus…comes" names "fratribus meis Theudoino et Adalelmo" (version two: "fratre meo Teodoino et Teoderico et Adalelmo") in his charter dated 14 Dec 804 (version two: dated 15 Dec 804) for the foundation of the monastery of Gellone.  Comte d'Autun 804/26. 

b)             GUILLAUME ([750/55]-Gellone [28 May [812/13]/21 May 815]).  Comte de Toulouse, Marquis de Septimanie. 

i)               BERNARD ([795]-executed Toulouse Saint-Sernin 844).  "Willelmus…comes" names "filiabus meis et filiis Barnardo, Witchario, Gotcelmo, Helimbruch" (version two: "filios meos et filias Witcario, Hildehelmo et Helinbruch") in his charter dated 14 Dec 804 (version two: dated 15 Dec 804) for the foundation of the monastery of Gellone, Bernard being named in only one of the versions[7].  Flodoard refers to "Bernardo comiti Tolosano, propinquo suo [Teodulfo comite]"[8].  Thegan's Vita Hludowici Imperatoris records that "quondam duce Bernhardo, qui erat de stirpe regali" was accused of violating "Iudith reginam" but comments that this was all lies[9]Comte d'Autun until 830.  Marquis de Septimanie until 831.  He was installed as Count of Barcelona in 827 or before.  Einhard's Annales name "Bernhardus…Barcinonæ comes" in 827[10].  The Annales Fuldenses record that "Barnhardus comes Barcinonensis" was made camerarius in the palace in 829[11].  Emperor Louis I appointed "Bernard Duke of Septimania" as his chamberlain and entrusted his son Charles to him, but he "recklessly abused the imperial power…and undermined it entirely".  He was banished to Septimania in [Apr 830] by the emperor's sons who rebelled against their father[12].  The Annales Bertiniani record that "præfatus Bernardus" fled to Barcelona in 830[13].  The Vita Hludowici Imperatoris records that "Bernhardus" fled into exile in Spain and was deprived of his honours [in 831][14].  The same source records that "Werinus et Bernhardus comites" gathered a force in Burgundy and reached "Matronam fluvium" [in 834][15].  The Annales Bertiniani record that "Bernardus comes marcæ Hispanicæ" was sentenced to death in 844[16].  The Annales Xantenses record that "Bernhardus comes" was killed "a Karolo" in 844, after which "filio Bernhardi" and "Pippinus rex Aquitainiæ, filius Pippini" defeated the king's army[17].  The Annales Fuldenses record that "Karolus" killed "Bernhardum Barcenonensium ducem" in 844 "incautem et nihil ab eo suspicantem"[18].

(a)          BERNARD "Plantevelue" (Uzès 22 Mar 841-[20 Jun 885/16 Aug 886], maybe 6 Jan 886).  The Manual of Dhuoda records the birth "XI Kal Apr", in the year following the death of Emperor Louis, at "Uzecia urbes" of the second child [Bernard] of Doda and her husband Bernard[19].  The Annales Bertiniani name "rex markiones Bernardum scilicet Tolosæ et iterum Bernardum Gothiæ, itemque Bernardum alium" in 868[20].  Lay Abbot of Brioude 857/68.  Comte d'Autun 864/69, deposed.  Comte de Rodez 864/74.  Comte d'Auvergne after 872.  The Annales Bertiniani name "Bernardum Arvenicum comitem" in 877[21]He obtained the county of Mâcon during the wars between the Carolingians and the Bosonids[22].  The 13th century obituary of the Eglise primatiale de Lyon records the death "VIII Id Jan" of "Bernardus comes"[23]

ii)             THEODERIC [IV] (-soon after 826).  The Manual of Dhuoda names (in order) "Willelmus, Chungundis, Gariberga, Vuithbergis, Teddericus, Gothzelmus, Guarnarius, Rothlindis" as relatives of Bernard, husband of Doda[24], which suggests that the last four named were the children of Guillaume by his second wife "Vuithbergis", assuming that all four were his children.  Comte d'Autun.  "Theodericus comes in Augustiduno civitate" issued a charter dated Dec 815 subscribed by "Dotinus, Ado, Bligario vicecomite, Girbaudus vicarius"[25].  "Fredelus advocatus Hildebrandi comitis" is named in a judgment of "Theodericus comes" in a charter dated Mar 818[26].  The judgment of "Theoderico comite" ordered the restitution of property at Baugy claimed by "Fulchardus advocatus…Nivelongo comiti" in a charter dated Apr 818[27]

 

 

It is likely that Ekkehard and his brother Bernard were related to the family of Theoderic [I], set out above, but the precise relationship has not been identified. 

1.             EKKEHARD [Ecchard], son of CHILDEBRAND [III] & his wife Dunna --- ([810/15]-[Jan 876/Jun 877], bur monastère de Fleury-sur-Loire, Nièvre).  "Hludovvicus…imperator augustus" granted land at Perrecy in Autun to "fideli nostro Ecchardo" by charter dated 29 Dec 839[28].  The Annales Bertiniani record that "filii Etkardi comitis duo, item Eokardus, Guntardus et Richuinus comites" were captured at the siege of Toulouse in 844[29], Settipani suggesting that "item Eokardus" refers to Ekkehard son of Childebrand [III] and his wife Dunna[30].  Ekkehard was one of the rebels against King Charles "le Chauve" in 858.  Invested as Comte de Chalon in 863, Comte d'Autun et de Mâcon in 873.  A charter dated to [866/75] relates to a dispute between "Vulfaldum episcopum et Heccardum comitem" concerning land at Perrecy, heard before "Leudo episcopus et Adelardus comes missi dominici in comitatu Augustidunense", refers to a charter "de temporibus domni Pipini regis sive de nomen Nivelongi"[31]

2.             BERNARD "le Veau" (-murdered 872).  Settipani quotes a list from Faremoutiers which names "Hiltibrandus mo[nachos]…Theoterichus com[es], Hæckardus, Bernardus…", suggesting that the last three were brothers, sons of the first named[32].  He was invested as Comte d'Autun by King Louis "le Bègue" in 868.  Bernard was murdered by Bernard "Plantevelue" Comte d'Auvergne [Aquitaine], who had been dispossessed as Comte d'Autun in favour of Comte Bernard.  "Heccardus comes" names "germani mei Bernardi" in his testamentary disposition dated to [Jan 876][33]

 

 

1.             BERNARD, son of BERNARD Comte en Poitou & his wife Bilichildis du Maine (-after 879).  The Annales Bertiniani name "rex markiones Bernardum scilicet Tolosæ et iterum Bernardum Gothiæ, itemque Bernardum alium" in 868[34].  He took control of Poitou, without being installed as Count, and was installed as Marquis of  Septimania, Comte de Berry and Comte d'Autun in 876.  He was deprived of his territories in 877 by Hugues "l'Abbé" who installed Rainulf II Comte de Poitou in his place.  The Annales Bertiniani name "Bernardum Gothiæ markionem" in 877[35].  Pope John VIII excommunicated "Bernardum filium Bernardi et Belihildis" in 879[36].  He rebelled against Bernard "Plantevelue" in 879 but was defeated.  The Annales Bertiniani record the rebellion of "Bernardi markionis" in 878[37].  The Gesta regum Francorum records in 880 the submission of "Bernhardum" to "filiis Hludowici" during their fight against "Buosenem in Gallia"[38], although it is not certain that this refers to the same person. 

 

 

It is likely that Theoderic [VI] was related to the families of Ekkehard and Theoderic [I], set out above, but the precise relationship has not been identified. 

1.             THEODERIC [VI] "le Trésorier", son of --- (-882 or 883).  A document issued by Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks dated Nov 853 names "Pardulus episcopus, Altmarus, Theodacrus" as missi in "Lauduniso, Portiano, Suessonico, Urciso et Vadiro"[39].  He was invested as Comte d'Autun in 878 by King Louis II "le Bègue".  The Annales Bertiniani record his resignation of Autun in 879 after Boso disputed his possession of it[40].  He took the villa of Perrecy on the death of his brother. 

 

 

1.             RICHARD, son of comte BUVINUS [Bouvin] & his wife --- d'Arles (-[31 Aug or 1 or 29 Sep] 921, bur Abbaye de Sainte-Colombe de Sens, Yonne).  Comte in 876, subsequently assuming the role of his brother Boson as missus in Italy in early 877, when the latter was recalled by Emperor Charles II.  Comte d'Autun.  He established himself in the future duchy of Burgundy, north of his brother's realm, with his capital at Autun.  He was invested as lay abbot of Saint-Symphorien by Carloman King of the East Franks in 880.  He succeeded his wife's uncle Hugues l'Abbé as Comte d'Auxerre in 886.  He led the Carolingian army which besieged his brother King Boso at Vienne in 882.  The counties in Burgundy, except Mâcon, submitted to him.  In 890 he was referred to as dux, marchio in 900, and dux Burgundionem in 918/921, later known as RICHARD "le Justicier" Duke of Burgundy

 

 

 

 

Chapter 2.    COMTES d'ATUYER

 

 

 

A.      COMTES d'ATUYER (FAMILY of AMEDEE)

 

 

AMEDEE, son of --- (-after 827).  He owned land as vassal of the abbey of St Bénigne, and land at Lecey as vassal of the bishop of Langres.  m ---.  The identity of the wife of Amedée is not known. 

Amedée & his wife had two children: 

1.             ANSCHIER (-[1 Dec 898/Mar 902]).  The primary source which corroborates his parentage has not yet been identified.  Comte d’Oscheret 877-888.  Counsellor of Boson King of [Provence].  Together with his brother and Foulques Archbishop of Reims, he invited Guido II Duke of Spoleto to become king of France in opposition to Emperor Karl III “der Dicke” who had delivered Burgundy to the Vikings after his accession in 884.  Anschier accompanied Guido back to Italy after the election of Eudes as king of France in 888.  In Italy, he remained as counsellor to Guido di Spoleto, took part in the campaigns against Arnulf King of Germany who invaded Italy in 894 and 896, and became Marchese di Ivrea in [898/902]. 

-        MARCHESI di IVREA

2.             GUY (-killed in battle near the River Trebbia early 889).  Comte d’Atuyer.  A supporter of Charles II “le Chauve” King of the West Franks.  Together with his brother and Foulques Archbishop of Reims, he invited Guido II Duke of Spoleto to become king of France to oppose Emperor Karl III "der Dicke" who had delivered Burgundy to the Vikings after his accession in 884.  He accompanied Guido back to Italy after the election of Eudes as king of France in 888.    

 

 

 

B.      COMTES d'ATUYER (FAMILY of COMTES de DIJON)

 

 

HUGUES [II] de Dijon, son of HUGUES [I] Comte de Dijon & his wife Adalburgis --- .  The Chronicle of St Bèze records a donation by "Gibuinus et neptis mea Eraungardis" made "pro remedio animæ fratris mei Hugonis" which also names "Gibuini proavi mei et filii eius Hugonis…et Hugonis patris mei" and "fratres mei Hugo et Wido" and "sponso eius [nepti] Fulcone"[41], undated but placed in the compilation several pages after the record of another donation dated 1043.  The Chronicle of St Bénigne de Dijon records the death of "Hugo comes Divionensis" and a donation by "Adalburgis comitissa uxor eius" for his soul "cum laude filiorum ipsius Gibuini Catalauennsis Episcopi et Richardi qui post eum hunc tenuit comitatum et Hugonis Attoariorum comitis", the brothers later in the same passage recorded as having donated further land "post obitum matris"[42]Comte d'Atuyer.  Seigneur de Beaumont. 

m ERMENGARD, daughter of ---.  The Chronicle of St Bèze records a donation by "nobilis matrona Ermengardis" made "pro remedio animæ…senioris sui Hugonis, filiique sui Widonis…defunctus" naming "filii ipsius Hugo et Nerduinus simul Gibuinus", undated and with little clues as to the date from adjacent records of donations[43].  "Gibuinus" confirmed a donation to Saint-Etienne de Dijon, for the souls of "patris mei Hugonis comitis et matris mee Hermingardis et fratris mei Norduini, et filiorum Odonis et Hugonis" by charter dated to [1034][44].  The unusual name "Narduin" given to her son suggests that she may be Ermengard, daughter of Narduin & his wife Odilia ---, but there is no proof that this is correct.  This hypothesis also appears sustainable from a chronological point of view, although no dates are known for either Hugues or his wife. 

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

1.             HUGUES [III] d'Atuyer .  The Chronicle of St Bèze records a donation by "Gybuinus clericus, frater Hugonis castri Bellimontis" which names "Ulrico nepoti meo" dated 1044[45]Comte d'Atuyer.  Seigneur de Beaumont.  m LETGARDIS ---.  The Chronicle of St Bèze records a donation "pro remedio animæ Odonis optimi militis atque…juventutis filii Nerduini, ictu repentino interfecti" which names "avunculus eius Hugo comes Belmontensis et ipsius Odonis uxor Gertrudis, fraterque eiusdem Hugo servum Teodericum" which also names "Gibuinus frater supradicti militis" dated 1034, signed by "Hugonis comitis, Letgardis comitissæ, Gertrudis uxoris Odonis militis, Gybuini, Richardi, Nerduini filii eius"[46].  A possible origin of Letgardis is indicated by the Chronicle of St Bénigne de Dijon which records a donation by "matrona…Letgardis…soror Lamberti Episcopi", probably Bishop of Langres, undated but among other records of donations in the late 1020s[47].  It is not certain whether this is the same Letgardis.  Comte Hugues [III] & his wife had two children:  

a)             ULRIC d'Atuyer .  The Chronicle of St Bèze records a donation by "Gybuinus clericus, frater Hugonis castri Bellimontis" which names "Ulrico nepoti meo" dated 1044[48].  The Chronicle of St Bèze records a donation subscribed by "Odolrici Belmontis filii Hugonis comitis" dated 1043[49]

b)             ERMENGARD d'Atuyer .  The Chronicle of St Bèze records a donation by "Gibuinus et neptis mea Eraungardis" made "pro remedio animæ fratris mei Hugonis" which also names "Gibuini proavi mei et filii eius Hugonis…et Hugonis patris mei" and "fratres mei Hugo et Wido" and "sponso eius [nepti] Fulcone"[50], undated but placed in the compilation several pages after the record of another donation dated 1043.  She was heiress of Beaumont, which passed to her children.  m FOULQUES de Mailly, son of ---.  The Chronicle of St Bèze records a donation by "Gybuinus clericus, frater Hugonis castri Bellimontis" which names "Fulco qui neptem eius in matrimonio", undated but following another record dated 1044[51]

2.             GEBUIN d'Atuyer .  "Quædam mulier nomine Ezelina uxor Nerduini militis" donated property to Saint-Bénigne de Dijon for the soul of her husband by charter dated Oct 1027, with "Gibuinus frater supradicti militus…" among those present[52].  "Gibuinus" confirmed a donation to Saint-Etienne de Dijon, for the souls of "patris mei Hugonis comitis et matris mee Hermingardis et fratris mei Norduini, et filiorum Odonis et Hugonis" by charter dated to [1034][53].  The Chronicle of St Bèze records a donation by "Gibuinus et neptis mea Eraungardis" made "pro remedio animæ fratris mei Hugonis" which also names "Gibuini proavi mei et filii eius Hugonis…et Hugonis patris mei" and "fratres mei Hugo et Wido" and "sponso eius [nepti] Fulcone"[54], undated but placed in the compilation several pages after the record of another donation dated 1043.  m ---.  The name of Gebuin's wife is not known.  Gebuin & his wife had one child: 

a)             HUGUES d'Atuyer .  The primary source which confirms his existence has not yet been identified.  Son of Gebuin, he was largely responsible for founding the church of Notre-Dame at Losne[55]

3.             NARDUIN d'Atuyer (-Oct 1027 or before).  "Gibuinus" confirmed a donation to Saint-Etienne de Dijon, for the souls of "patris mei Hugonis comitis et matris mee Hermingardis et fratris mei Norduini, et filiorum Odonis et Hugonis" by charter dated to [1034][56].  The Chronicle of St Bèze records a donation by "Gybuinus clericus" with "fratris sui Nerduini, filiorumque eius nepotum suorum, Oddonis et Hugonis"[57], undated but recorded with a donation dated 1036 in the compilation.  "Gybuinus clericus" donated property to Saint-Bénigne de Dijon for the souls of "fratris sui Nerduini, filiorumque eius nepotum suorum Oddonis…et Hugonis", undated in the compilation[58]m EZELINA, daughter of ---.  The Chronicle of St Bèze records a donation by "mulier Ezelina uxor Nerduini militis" made "pro redemptione animæ præscripti mariti" which also names "Gibuinus frater supradicti militis" dated 1027[59].  "Quædam mulier nomine Ezelina uxor Nerduini militis" donated property to Saint-Bénigne de Dijon for the soul of her husband by charter dated Oct 1027, with "Gibuinus frater supradicti militus…" among those present[60].  Narduin & his wife had two children: 

a)             ODO d'Atuyer .  "Gibuinus" confirmed a donation to Saint-Etienne de Dijon, for the souls of "patris mei Hugonis comitis et matris mee Hermingardis et fratris mei Norduini, et filiorum Odonis et Hugonis" by charter dated to [1034][61].  "Gybuinus clericus" donated property to Saint-Bénigne de Dijon for the souls of "fratris sui Nerduini, filiorumque eius nepotum suorum Oddonis…et Hugonis", undated in the compilation[62].  The Chronicle of St Bèze records a donation "pro remedio animæ Odonis optimi militis atque…juventutis filii Nerduini, ictu repentino interfecti" which names "avunculus eius Hugo comes Belmontensis et ipsius Odonis uxor Gertrudis, fraterque eiusdem Hugo servum Teodericum" which also names "Gibuinus frater supradicti militis" dated 1034, signed by "Hugonis comitis, Letgardis comitissæ, Gertrudis uxoris Odonis militis, Gybuini, Richardi, Nerduini filii eius"[63]m GERTRUDE, daughter of ---.  The Chronicle of St Bèze records a donation "pro remedio animæ Odonis optimi militis atque…juventutis filii Nerduini, ictu repentino interfecti" which names "…ipsius Odonis uxor Gertrudis, fraterque eiusdem Hugo servum Teodericum", dated 1034, signed by "…Gertrudis uxoris Odonis militis…"[64].  Odo & his wife had one child:

Chapter 3.    COMTES et VICOMTES d'AUXERRE

 

 

The county of Auxerre was one of the earliest recorded Burgundian counties, which the Carolingian monarchs granted to, and confiscated from, their supporters from time to time as a reward for service to the crown (see Part A below).  The county passed to Richard, brother of Boson King [of Provence], in 886 and remained as one of the secondary titles of the dukes of Burgundy until it was captured by Landry Comte de Nevers, in alliance with Robert II "le Pieux" King of France.  The king awarded the county to his daughter as dowry, when he agreed her marriage with Comte Landry[70]

 

The county of Auxerre continued to be ruled by the comtes de Nevers until the end of the 12th century (see NEVERS, in this document, for details).  The heiress of the three counties of Auxerre, Nevers and Tonnerre married (as his first wife) Pierre [II] Seigneur de Courtenay (later Pierre I Emperor of Constantinople).  For the following century, a succession of female heiresses resulted in the county of Auxerre passing through several different families.  Mathilde de Courtenay succeeded her mother as Ctss d'Auxerre in 1192, but her father declared himself Comte d'Auxerre in 1199.  The first husband of Mathilde, Hervé [IV] Seigneur de Donzy, succeeded as Comte d'Auxerre in 1219 after the death of his father-in-law[71].  After Hervé's death in 1222, his widow resumed control of the county until her own death in 1257.  Auxerre (together with Nevers and Tonnerre) passed to her great grand-daughter Mathilde de Bourbon, who was heiress of her grandmother Agnes de Donzy (daughter of Hervé and Mathilde, and wife of Guy [I] de Châtillon-sur-Marne Comte de Saint-Pol) and her mother Yolande de Châtillon (wife of Archambaud [IX] Sire de Bourbon [Dampierre]) both of whom predeceased (respectively) their mother and grandmother. 

 

Mathilde de Bourbon brought the three counties of Auxerre, Nevers and Tonnerre to the family of the Capet dukes of Burgundy through her marriage with Eudes de Bourgogne, son of Hugues IV Duke of Burgundy.  After the death of Mathilde in 1262, followed by that of Eudes in 1266, succession to the three counties was disputed by their daughters.  The dispute was eventually settled by agreement of the parlement 1 Nov 1273, under which the third daughter Alix, wife of Jean [II] de Chalon Seigneur de Rochefort (of the family of the counts of Burgundy), succeeded as Ctss d'Auxerre.  Their descendants are set out in Part C. below.

1.             ---.  m ALQUIDIS, daughter of ---.  Her name is confirmed by the charter dated Aug 1000 under which "Milo nobili ortus progenie" donated property to the abbey of Flavigny, including the donation supported by "Aymone…comite" of property which "mater sua Alquidis" gave to "filie sue Eldesnodi"[99].  Alquidis & her husband had [three] children: 

a)             AIMON [I] (-17 Mar 1004 or after).  He is named with his son Walo in a charter of Hugues Duke of Burgundy dated in the 980s.  He is called Comte d'Auxois in 992[100].  "Milo nobili ortus progenie" donated property, including the donation supported by "Aymone…comite" of property which "mater sua Alquidis" gave to "filie sue Eldesnodi", to the abbey of Flavigny by charter dated Aug 1000 subscribed by "Aymo comes Alsinsis eius consanguineus"[101].  "Comes Alsensis comitatus" restored rights to the abbey of Flavigny by charter dated 3 Apr 1002[102].  The testament of "Aymo…comitatus Alsinses atque Dusmensis" dated 17 Mar 1004 is recorded in the cartulary of the abbey of Flavigny, subscribed by "Gualo filius eius, Vualterius filius eius, Hubertus, Gerardus, Helinnanus nepotes eius…Gerardi vicecomitis"[103]m ---.  The name of Aimon's wife is not known.  Comte Aimon [I] & his wife had [three] children: 

i)               [AIMON (-before [1034/46]).  Aimon's parentage is not entirely certain.  "Miles nobilis stemmatis linea progenitus…Vualo…cum sua iugali…Iudith" donated a serf to the abbey of Flavigny by undated charter[104].  It is noted in the compilation that Duchesne[105] adds a list of signatories to this charter, which does not appear in any of the surviving manuscripts, which includes "Vualonis, Iudith uxoris eius, Aymonis comitis fratris eius qui consensit, Hervei fratris eius alterius…".  If this is genuine, it suggests that Aimon was older than his brother Gauthier because of his position in the list.  He may even have been his father's oldest son, because of his title "comitis", but in this case it is curious that he is not named in any of his father's charters and in particular does not appear in his father's 1004 testament.

b)             GERARD de Fouvent (-killed 1030).  The testament of "Aymo…comitatus Alsinses atque Dusmensis" dated 17 Mar 1004 is recorded in the cartulary of the abbey of Flavigny, subscribed by "Gualo filius eius, Vualterius filius eius, Hubertus, Gerardus, Helinnanus nepotes eius…Gerardi vicecomitis"[129].  Cousin of the brothers Walo and Gautier (sons of Aimon [I] Comte d'Auxois) with whom he acted in 1020[130], and assumed therefore to be the brother of "Humbert" although direct proof of this has not been found.  Cleric. 

c)             HALINARD de Fouvent .  The testament of "Aymo…comitatus Alsinses atque Dusmensis" dated 17 Mar 1004 is recorded in the cartulary of the abbey of Flavigny, subscribed by "Gualo filius eius, Vualterius filius eius, Hubertus, Gerardus, Helinnanus nepotes eius…Gerardi vicecomitis"[131].  He is assumed to be the brother of Hubert and Gerard although there is no proof that this is correct.

e)             daughter .  Her origin, as maternal grandmother of "domno abbate Stephano", is stated in the Chronicle of Saint-Bénigne de Dijon which names the abbot's parents as "patre Joffredo…consul [qui] a patre et avo consulibus originem duxit" and "matre…Arnulfi…consulis de Risnel filia, matrem habens…consulis Gerardi de Fonvenz filiam"[133].  Bouchard suggests that she may have been the same person as Gérard's known daughter Bertrada[134]m ARNOUL Comte de Reynel, son of ---.  1074.

a)             TETBERT .  "Teutbertus filius eorum" subscribed the charter dated 4 Oct 957 of "Ratherium [et]…Trisburgis uxori sue"[141]same person as …?  TETBERT .  "Vir nobilissimus Teotbertus…uxoris sue Rannodi et filio eorum Udelrico" donated property to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon by charter dated to [971/77][142].  There is no indication in the document that this was the same person as the son of Rather and Trisburga apart from the name, and also that one of the sons of Tetbert and Raimodis was named Rather.  m RAIMODIS, daughter of --- (-[980]).  "Teotbertus et uxor sua Raimodis" donated property "in pago Lugdunense in agro Balgiacense…villa Curte" to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon by charter dated to [971/77][143].  Tetbert & his wife had two children: 

i)               ULRIC [I] [Olry] (-1018 or after).  "Vir nobilissimus Teotbertus…uxoris sue Rannodi et filio eorum Udelrico" donated property to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon by charter dated to [971/77][144]

-         see below.   

ii)             RATHER .  "Ratherio fratri suo qui concessit" subscribed a charter dated 2 Sep 994 under which "Uldricus" granted property "in pago Matisconense…villa Morincas…[et] in pago Lugdunensi…ecclesiam…sancti Martini" to "sponse meæ Ermengarda"[145]same person as…?  RATHER .  "Rotherius et uxor mea Berta" donated property "in pago Matisconense in agro Potiaco in villa Frontiniace" to Cluny by charter dated Mar 993[146].  There is no indication in the document that this was the same person as the brother of Ulric [I] apart from the relatively unusual name.  m BERTHA, daughter of ---.  "Rotherius et uxor mea Berta" donated property "in pago Matisconense in agro Potiaco in villa Frontiniace" to Cluny by charter dated Mar 993[147]

 

 

ULRIC [I] [Olry], son of TETBERT & his wife Raimodis --- (-1018 or after).  "Vir nobilissimus Teotbertus…uxoris sue Rannodi et filio eorum Udelrico" donated property to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon by charter dated to [971/77][148].  "Udulrici filii eorum" subscribed the charter dated to [971/77] under which "Teotbertus et uxor sua Raimodis" donated property "in pago Lugdunense in agro Balgiacense…villa Curte" to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon[149], which confirms that he held land in Bâgé although no evidence has so far been found that he was "Seigneur de Bâgé".  "Udelrici filii Tetberti, Udelrici pueri filii eius" subscribed the charter dated 1018 under which "Adalardus…sacerdos" donated property "in pago Matisconensi" to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon[150]

[m firstly AREMBURG, daughter of ---.  "Aremburgis" donated property to Cluny "in pago Lugdunensi villa…Pratum Borsanum in agro Balgiaco" by charter dated Nov 993 subscribed by "Vulrici senioris eius"[151].  As pointed out below (see Ulric [II]), difficulties in interpreting the charters which name the sons of Ulrich [I] would be resolved if the latter in fact only married once.  If this is correct, either "Vulrici" who subscribed this 993 charter was not Ulrich [I] or "Aremburgis" is simply a mistranscription for "Ermengardis".] 

m [secondly] (before 3 Sep 994) ERMENGARD, daughter of ---.  "Ulricus et Ermengardis uxor mea" donated property to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon by charter dated to [996/1031][152].  "Udulricus cum uxore mea Ermengardi" donated property "in pago Matisconensi in agro Iggiacensis in villa Verriaco" to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon at the request of "filio meo Walterio canonicale" by undated charter[153].  "Uldricus" granted property "in pago Matisconense…villa Morincas…[et] in pago Lugdunensi…ecclesiam…sancti Martini" to "sponse meæ Ermengarda" by charter dated 2 Sep 994 subscribed by "Ratherio fratri suo qui concessit"[154].  "Coniuge mee Ermengardi" is named in the charter dated to [1004/19] under which "Udulricus vir eius" granted property "in pago Lugdunensi sive Matisconensi…in villa Balgiaco…ecclesia…sancti Michaelis" to Cluny[155].  She and her son made gifts for the soul of her husband in [1030][156]

Ulric [I] & his [second] wife had two children: 

1.             ULRIC [II] (-[1026/31]).  "Ulrici filii mei" subscribed the charter dated to [996/1031] under which "Ulricus et Ermengardis uxor mea" donated property to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon[157].  "Udelrici filii Tetberti, Udelrici pueri filii eius" subscribed the charter dated 1018 under which "Adalardus…sacerdos" donated property "in pago Matisconensi" to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon[158].  If Ulrich was "puer" in 1018, it is likely that he was born from his father's [second] marriage, assuming that the date of this marriage is correct as shown above.  On the other hand, the fact that he was described as "filii mei" rather than "filii nostrorum" in the charter dated to [996/1031] could suggest that Ermengard was not his mother.  The issue is further complicated by the undated charter under which "Udulricus cum uxore mea Ermengardi" donated property to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon at the request of "filio meo Walterio canonicale"[159] which also suggests that Gauthier was born from his father's supposed earlier marriage as well.  This, however, appears incompatible with Ulric [II] (presumably the older brother) having succeeded his father.  These difficulties would be resolved if Ulric [I] in fact only married once, as discussed above.  Ulric [II]'s date of death is estimated based on an interpretation of the charter of his supposed wife Beatrix (see below).  m [BEATRIX, daughter of ---.  "Beatrix" granted property "in villa Clitgiaci [iuxta] terra vicecomitis Wigonis" to Cluny for the soul of "senioris mei Ulrici" by charter dated to [996/1031][160].  It is probable that "Ulrici" was Ulrich [II] but this is not certain.  This charter is subscribed by "Ottonis comitis".  It is likely that this refers to Otton [II], who succeeded as Comte de Mâcon after the 1026 death of his father, the latter normally subscribing charters jointly with his wife.  If this is correct, the charter should be dated to [1026/31] which is presumably consistent with this being a donation after the death of Ulric [II].  If Ulric [II] was "puer" in 1018, he must still have been young at the time of his supposed marriage.]  Ulric [II] & his wife had [one possible child]: 

a)             [ULRIC [III] de Bâgé Seigneur de Bâgé"Udulricus [dominus] de Balgiaco" donated property to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon by charter dated to [1074/96][161].  The dating suggests that this must have been a different person from Ulric [II].  However, there is nothing in the document which proves that Ulric [III] was the son of Ulric [II], although this is probably correct.  If this is so, he was probably an infant when his father died.  According to Bouchard[162], Ulric [III] was the father of Ulric [IV] although according to Europäische Stammtafeln[163] the latter was the son of Josseran de Bâgé.] 

2.             GAUTHIER .  "Udulricus cum uxore mea Ermengardi" donated property "in pago Matisconensi in agro Iggiacensis in villa Verriaco" to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon at the request of "filio meo Walterio canonicale" by undated charter[164]

 

 

1.             RODOLPHE, son of ---.  He is shown in Europäische Stammtafeln as Seigneur de Bâgé et de Bresse[165], but there is no indication how he may have been related to the previous family, if at all.  The primary sources which confirms his existence and that of his son and grandson have not yet been identified.  m ---.  The name of Rodolphe's wife is not known.  Rodolphe & his wife had one child: 

a)             RAYMOND [Renaud] (-1072).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  Seigneur de Bâgé et de Bresse.  m ---.  The name of Raymond's wife is not known.  Raymond & his wife had one child:

i)               JOSSERAN [Gaulseran] (-1110).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  Seigneur de Bâgé et de Bresse. 

 

 

According to Bouchard[166], Ulric [IV] was the son of Ulric [III] de Bâgé (see above).  According to Europäische Stammtafeln[167], he was the son of Josseran de Bâgé.  The basis for either of these speculations is not known, but the apparent continuation of the names Renaud and Josseran in the family suggest a close relationship.  Another possibility is that the lordship of Bâgé was transmitted from one family to the other through marriage. 

[six or more] brothers and sisters: 

1.             ULRIC [IV] de Bâgé (-after 1125)Seigneur de Bâgé.  He became a crusader in 1120, and a Benedictine monk in 1125.  m ---, daughter of Comte AMEDEE & his wife ---.  The 1118 charter of "Ulricus [de Balgiaco] et filii sui Ulricus et Rainaldus", relating to donations of property to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon, also refers to "domina vero domni Uldrici uxor" without naming her[168].  The primary source which names her father has not yet been identified.  According to Europäische Stammtafeln[169], she was --- de Savoie, daughter of AMEDEE I Comte de Savoie & his wife Jeanne [de Genève].  This seems difficult to support chronologically, in light of the dates of death of two of the sons of Ulric de Bâgé (1180 and 1184 respectively) which suggests that it is unlikely that they were born much before 1100.  If her father was a count of Savoy (as suggested by the name Amédée), it is more likely that he was Amédée II.  Ulric [IV] & his wife had five children: 

a)             ULRIC de Bâgé .  1113.  "Ulricus [de Balgiaco] et filii sui Ulricus et Rainaldus" are named in a charter dated "VI Id Apr" 1118 which relates to donations of property to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon[170]

b)             RENAUD [II] de Bâgé (-1153).  "Ulricus [de Balgiaco] et filii sui Ulricus et Rainaldus" are named in a charter dated "VI Id Apr" 1118 which relates to donations of property to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon[171]Seigneur de Bâgé et de Bresse.  m ---.  The name of the wife of Renaud [II] is not known.  Renaud [II] & his wife had two children: 

i)               ULRIC de Bâgé (-before 1153).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.   

ii)             RENAUD [III] de Bâgé (-1180, bur église de la Musse[172]).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  Seigneur de Bâgém ---.  The name of the wife of Renaud [III] is not known.  Renaud [III] & his wife had two children:

(a)          ULRIC [V] de Bâgé (-before 1220)"Raynaldi Balgiacensis…et Ulricus filius eius" donated property to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon for the former's burial by charter dated to [1167/84], subscribed by "Artaldi vicecomitis"[173]Seigneur de Bâgé et de Bresse.

(b)          GUY de Bâgé .  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.    1180. 

c)             BLANDIN de Bâgé .  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  1152. 

d)             HUMBERT de Bâgé (-12 Oct or 13 Nov 1180).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.    Bishop of Autun 1140/1148.  Archbishop of Lyon 1148, resigned [1157].  Cartusian Prior at Seillon.  The 13th century obituary of the Eglise primatiale de Lyon records the death "IV Id Oct" of "Humbertus, Valle Sancte Marie monachus et quondam Lugdunensis archiepiscopus"[174]

e)             ETIENNE de Bâgé (-19 Mar 1184).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.    Bishop of Mâcon 1167. 

2.             HUGUES de Bâgé .  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.    Canon at Mâcon 1120. 

3.             [JOSSERAN de Bâgé (-[1131/43] or after).  The 1118 charter of "Ulricus [de Balgiaco] et filii sui Ulricus et Rainaldus", relating to donations of property to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon, is subscribed by "Gausceranno decano"[175].  The document gives no indication of any relationship with the Bâgé family.  However, such a connection is suggested by "Gausceranus de Balgiaco" witnessing two other charters, dated 1116 and dated to [1131/43] respectively, which record donations of property to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon[176].] 

4.             ETIENNE de Bâgé (-7 Jan 1140).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.    Bishop of Autun 1112/1136.  Monk at Cluny 1136. 

5.             daughter .  The 1118 charter of "Ulricus [de Balgiaco] et filii sui Ulricus et Rainaldus", relating to donations of property to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon, also refers to "sororibus suis" without naming them or indicating how many sisters there were[177]

6.             daughter .  The 1118 charter of "Ulricus [de Balgiaco] et filii sui Ulricus et Rainaldus", relating to donations of property to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon, also refers to "sororibus suis" without naming them or indicating how many sisters there were[178]

 

 

ULRIC [V] [Olry] de Bâgé, son of RENAUD [III] Seigneur de Bâgé et de Bresse & his wife --- (-before 1220)"Raynaldi Balgiacensis…et Ulricus filius eius" donated property to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon for the former's burial by charter dated to [1167/84], subscribed by "Artaldi vicecomitis"[179]Seigneur de Bâgé et de Bresse. 

m firstly ([1176/77]) as her second husband, ALIX de Chalon [dame de Miribel], widow of JOSSERAND [II] "le Gros" Sire de Brancion et d'Uxelles, daughter of GUILLAUME [I] Comte de Chalon & his wife --- (-15 Jun 1187 or before[180]).  The primary source which confirms her parentage and her two marriages has not yet been identified.  Bouchard records the first wife of Ulric [V] as "dame de Mirebeau" (died 1187 or before) and speculates that she may have been Elisabeth, daughter of Odo Seigneur de Mirebeau & his wife Aegidia ---, who is named with her parents in 1174[181].  It is not known which "Mirebeau" this is.  However, the reference to her husband's great-granddaughter Simone [Sibylle] de Bâgé (wife of Amédée V Count of Savoy, see below) succeeding as "dame de Miribel-en-Forez" suggests that the place may have been a different "Mirebeau" from the one of which Odo was seigneur.  Europäische Stammtafeln[182] names Ulric's first wife as Alix de Chalon (married in 1198), specifying that she was "dame de Miribel".  The first husband of Alix de Chalon died in [1175], which places her second marriage in the right timeframe to have been the mother of Guy and therefore Ulric [V]'s first wife.  The necrology of Saint-Pierre, Lyon records the death "XVII Kal Jul" of "Alis domina de Miribello"[183]

m secondly (1188) ALEXANDRINE de Vienne, daughter of GERARD [I] Comte de Mâcon et de Vienne [Bourgogne-Comté] & his wife Guyonne [Maurette] de Salins (-after 1242).  The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified.  Europäische Stammtafeln[184] names Ulric's first wife as Alix de Chalon (married in 1198), specifying that she was "dame de Miribel", and his second wife as Alexandrine de Vienne.  Bouchard names Ulric's second wife as Alix de Chalon. 

Ulric [V] & his [first] wife had one child: 

1.             GUY de Bâgé ([1177/79]-[1219]).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  Guy was presumably born from his father's first marriage as his daughter is also recorded as dame de Miribel, although it is true that the seigneurie was ultimately inherited by the descendants of Guy's younger brother Renaud [IV] who appears to have been born from his father's second marriage.  Seigneur de Bâgé.  He is named with his father in 1180[185].  He died on pilgrimage.  m ---.  The name of Guy's wife is not known.  Guy & his wife had two children: 

a)             ULRIC [VI] de Bâgé .  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. 

b)             MARGUERITE de Bâgé (-20 Dec before Mar 1252)Dame de Miribel.  She is named as wife of Humbert de Beaujeu[186].  The Anniversary Book of Notre-Dame de Beaujeu records the death "XIII Kal Jan" of "Marguarita domina Bellijocis"[187]m (15 Jul 1219) HUMBERT [V] Sire de Beaujeu, son of GUICHARD [IV] Sire de Beaujeu & his wife Sibylle de Hainaut (-Egypt 25 Jul 1250, bur Cluny).  Connétable de France 1248.

m (1 Jan 1229) as her first husband, SIBYLLE de Beaujeu, daughter of GUICHARD [IV] Sire de Beaujeu & his wife (before 1216-1265, bur St Vincent de Mâcon).  "Guichardus Belli Joci dominus" names his daughters "Agnetam primogenitam nostram…filiam autem nostram Margaritam…Philippam autem filiam nostram…minorem autem filiam nostram Sibillam" in his testament dated 18 Sep 1216[189].  The primary source which confirms her two marriages has not yet been identified.  She married secondly Pierre "le Gros" de Brancion Seigneur de Visargent.

It is possible that the Seigneurs de Beaujeu were related in some way to the comtes de Lyon et de Forez.  Samuel Guichenon, in his Histoire de la Souverainté de Dombes written in 1662, cites earlier secondary sources which suggest that they descend from "Umfred, fils d'un comte de Lyon et de Forest, son frère, inhumes en l'église de Saint-Irénée de Lyon".  This is based on an epitaph (disappeared by the date of Guichenon's work) which records the death in "the year 99" of "Artaudus comes Lugdunensis et comes Forensis et dominus Bellijoci et Umfredus frater eius et mater eorum"[193].  Guichenon cites another version of the epitaph, from "une ancienne généalogie manuscrite" which he found in the archives of the "chapitre de Saint-Jean de Lyon"[194], which reads "Artaudus comes Lugdunensis ac Forensis, dominus Bellijoci, anno 999" and "Artaldus filius et mater eius".  The editor of the 1874 edition of Guichenon records yet another version, from "la chronique trouvée à Belleville" which reads "…Artaldus comes Lugd. et Forensis dns Stephanus comes frater eius et Amphredus Bellijoci dns et pater et frater eorum, obiit dictus Artaldus 993".  Guichenon's conclusion is that none of these versions is likely to be genuine, based on his supposition that pre-1000 epitaphs are infrequent and that the authentic ones which do survive record only names and titles not the territories ruled.  He adds that the chronology is such that, if the Beaujeu family did descend from the comtes de Lyon, "Berardus" cited below must have been the brother of Gerard Comte de Lyon, and son of Comte Artaud [I] who lived in 900[195].  From an onomastic point of view, neither of the names typical of the family of the Comtes de Lyon (Artaud and Gérard) is found in the family of the Seigneurs de Beaujeu, although this is not of course conclusive proof that the relationship did not exist. 

 

 

 

A.      SEIGNEURS de BEAUJEU

 

 

1.             GUICHARD (-before [973/74]).  "Bernardus et Berardus" donated property "in pago Matisconensi in villa Locis" to Cluny for the souls of "fratris nostri Lantberti et avunculi nostri Wichardi", referring to Cluny as the burial place of the former, by charter dated [12 Nov 973/11 Nov 974][196]

2.             [--- .  Assuming the "avunculus" is used in its strict sense in the 973/74 charter referred to above, this unidentified person was Guichard's sister.]  m ---.  Four children: 

a)             GUICHARD (-after Jan 976).  "Vuichardus et Berardus" donated property "ex rebus fratris nostri Bernardi…in pago Matisconensi in villa Tisiaco" to Cluny by charter dated Jan 976, subscribed by "Berardi, Vuicardi, Gotefredi, Adalberti"[197]

b)             BERNARD (-before Jan 976).  "Bernardus et Berardus" donated property "in pago Matisconensi in villa Locis" to Cluny for the souls of "fratris nostri Lantberti et avunculi nostri Wichardi", referring to Cluny as the burial place of the former, by charter dated [12 Nov 973/11 Nov 974], subscribed by "Wichardi, Bernardi, Berardi, Landrici, Erpii, Arnulfi, Arberti"[198].  "Vuichardus et Berardus" donated property "ex rebus fratris nostri Bernardi…in pago Matisconensi in villa Tisiaco" to Cluny by charter dated Jan 976, subscribed by "Berardi, Vuicardi, Gotefredi, Adalberti"[199]

c)             BERARD (-after Jan 976).  "Bernardus et Berardus" donated property "in pago Matisconensi in villa Locis" to Cluny for the souls of "fratris nostri Lantberti et avunculi nostri Wichardi", referring to Cluny as the burial place of the former, by charter dated [12 Nov 973/11 Nov 974], subscribed by "Wichardi, Bernardi, Berardi, Landrici, Erpii, Arnulfi, Arberti"[200].  "Vuichardus et Berardus" donated property "ex rebus fratris nostri Bernardi…in pago Matisconensi in villa Tisiaco" to Cluny by charter dated Jan 976, subscribed by "Berardi, Vuicardi, Gotefredi, Adalberti"[201]

d)             LAMBERT (-before [973/74], bur Cluny).  "Bernardus et Berardus" donated property "in pago Matisconensi in villa Locis" to Cluny for the souls of "fratris nostri Lantberti et avunculi nostri Wichardi", referring to Cluny as the burial place of the former, by charter dated [12 Nov 973/11 Nov 974][202]

 

 

The exact relationship between the above family sub-group and Berard husband of Wandelmode is not known, but the common use of the names Guichard, Berard and Lambert between the two groups suggests that they were closely related.  It is possible that they were related through Berard's mother. 

1.             BERARD, son of --- (-[9 Dec 961/966]).  "Berardus" donated property "in villa Morgono, comitato Matisconense" to Cluny dated Oct 957, consented to by "Arlulfo" who has not been identified[203]m WANDELMODE, daughter of --- (-after [987/96]).  "Vuandalmodis" is named as wife of Bérard in his donation to Cluny dated Oct 957[204].  Her origin is not known.  Chaume proposes that she was Wandelmode de Salins, daughter of Humbert de Salins & his wife Wandalmode ---, for onomastic reasons because of her own name as well as the names of her son Humbert and grandson Letaud[205].  "Vuandalmodis et filius meus Vuichardus" donated property "in pago Augustodunense…in villa Trescurtis…[et] in villa Vualiaco" to Cluny for the soul of "Letaudi filii mei" by charter dated to [987/96], subscribed by "Vuigonis, Lamberti, Girardi, Bernardi, Josberti, Aimini, Annoni, Humberti, Ermenardi, Roberti, Ermenrici"[206].  Bérard & his wife had [nine] children: 

a)             HUMBERT [I] (-before 1016).  The primary source which confirms directly that Humbert [I] was the son of Bérard has not yet been identified, but the various primary sources cited below indicate that this is probably correct.  He founded the church of Beaujeu with his parents[207]

-        see below

b)             GUICHARD [I] (-[987/96]).  "Vuichardus" donated property "in pago Lucdunense in villa Ronnenco ecclesiam…sancti Georgii" to Cluny by charter dated 978, signed by "Vuichardus et uxor eius Aialmodis, Milo, Stephanus, Vuigo, Umfredus, Agno, Rotlandus" witnessed by "Umbertus, Ameldus, Berardus, Vuichardus, Letaudus, Bermundus, Raimodis, Aldebaldus"[208].  Guichenon also refers to this charter, adding that the donation was for the souls of "Beraud son père…Vandalmode sa mère"[209], but this does not appear in the transcription in the Bruel compilation.  The charter may be the confirmation of an earlier donation of the church of St George, in the same town, by Guichard's brother Humbert, assuming that "sancti Germani" in the earlier charter was a transcription error for "sancti Georgii".  "Vuandalmodis et filius meus Vuichardus" donated property "in pago Augustodunense…in villa Trescurtis…[et] in villa Vualiaco" to Cluny for the soul of "Letaudi filii mei" by charter dated to [987/96][210], which indicates that Wandelmode was not deceased at the date of the 978 charter.  m (before [969/70]) as her second husband, ALMODIS, widow of HUGUES, daughter of ---.  Her first two marriages are indicated by the charter dated [11 Jul 969/10 Jul 970] under which "Ailmodis" donated property "in pago atque in comitatu Lugdunensi…ecclesiam…sancti Martini in villa…Oratorias [et] in villa Lazeniaco ecclesiam…sancti Johannis [et] in villa…Liergio ecclesiam…sancti Ferreoli" to Cluny for the souls of "Bermundi et Gislane et senioris mei Hugonis atque Vuichardi et fratris eius Stephani atque Bermundi", which names "senior meus Vuichardus" and is signed "Vuichardi atque Ailmodis"[211].  According to Guichenon, Almodis donated property "Casoja" to Cluny by charter dated 977 which names her daughter Viceline, Guichard her father, and Ansède subsequent husband of Ailmodis[212].  This charter has not been found in the Bruel compilation.  It must be incorrectly dated if the charter of "Vuandalmodis et filius meus Vuichardus" is correctly dated to [987/96][213].  Guichard [I] & his wife had one child: 

i)               WENCELINE (-977 or after).  According to Guichenon, Almodis donated property "Casoja" to Cluny by charter dated 977 which names her daughter Viceline, Guichard her father, and Ansède later husband of Ailmodis[214], but this charter has not been found in the Bruel compilation. 

c)             [MILO (-after 978).  "…Milo, Stephanus, Vuigo, Umfredus…" signed the charter dated 978 under which "Vuichardus" donated property to Cluny[215].  It is possible that these four witnesses were Guichard's brothers.] 

d)             ETIENNE (-[before 967]).  "Ailmodis" donated property to Cluny for the souls of "…Vuichardi et fratris eius Stephani atque Bermundi" by charter dated [11 Jul 969/10 Jul 970][216].  "…Milo, Stephanus, Vuigo, Umfredus…" signed the charter dated 978 under which "Vuichardus" donated property to Cluny[217].  It is possible that these four witnesses were Guichard's brothers which, if correct, would mean that Etienne was not deceased at the date of the earlier charter cited above. 

e)             HUGUES (-after Dec 994).  "Unbertus" donated property "in pago Lugdunensi in villa…Quinciaco" to Cluny by charter dated to [993/1048], subscribed by "Ugoni fratri eius"[218].  "Hugo" donated property "in pago Matiscensi in villa Lintiniaco in ago Bliacensi" to Cluny for by charter dated Dec 994, subscribed by "Humberti, Emeldis, Berardi, Vuichardi"[219], the subscribers presumably being Hugues oldest brother, his wife and two oldest sons. 

f)               LETAUD (-before [987/96]).  "Vuandalmodis et filius meus Vuichardus" donated property "in pago Augustodunense…in villa Trescurtis…[et] in villa Vualiaco" to Cluny for the soul of "Letaudi filii mei" by charter dated to [987/96][220]

g)             [GUY (-after [987/96]).  "Wigo" donated property "in pago Augustodunense…in villa Vissalar…[et] in villa Giblas" to Cluny, and refers to "ecclesiam de Attolas et in villa Matur mansum unum quem Wichardus dedit Sancto Petro", for the soul of "fratris Guichardi…et patris nostri Blisardi et matris nostre Blismodis" by charter dated to [987/96], which names "frater meus Lambertus" and is subscribed by "Lamberti, Umberti, Willelmi, Wigonis, Ugonis, Arberti, Bladini"[221].  The references to Guichard and Humbert in this document suggest a family connection with the family of the Seigneurs de Beaujeu.  It is possible that "Blisardi et…Blismodis" are copyist errors for "Berardi…Wandelmodis", in which case Guy and Lambert would have been two other sons of theirs.  This appears to be corroborated by the charter dated to [987/96] subscribed by "Vuigonis, Lamberti…Humberti…" under which "Vuandalmodis et filius meus Vuichardus" donated property to Cluny for the soul of "Letaudi filii mei"[222].  "…Milo, Stephanus, Vuigo, Umfredus…" signed the charter dated 978 under which "Vuichardus" donated property to Cluny[223].  It is possible that these four witnesses were Guichard's brothers.] 

h)             [ONFROI (-after 978).  "…Milo, Stephanus, Vuigo, Umfredus…" signed the charter dated 978 under which "Vuichardus" donated property to Cluny[224].  It is possible that these four witnesses were Guichard's brothers.  "Umfredus" donated property "in pago Lugdunense ecclesiam…sancti Aunemundi" to Cluny for the souls of "Vuichardi, Umberti, Vuigoni" (presumably the donor's brothers), by charter dated [11 Jul 976/10 Jul 977], subscribed by "Tedonis, Anscherici, Ugoni, Milonis archipresbiteri, Stephani, item Umfredi"[225].] 

i)               [LAMBERT (-after [987/96]).  "Wigo" donated property for the soul of "fratris Guichardi…et patris nostri Blisardi et matris nostre Blismodis" by charter dated to [987/96], which names "frater meus Lambertus" and is subscribed by "Lamberti, Umberti, Willelmi, Wigonis, Ugonis, Arberti, Bladini"[226].  "Vuigonis, Lamberti…Humberti…" subscribed the charter dated to [987/96] under which "Vuandalmodis et filius meus Vuichardus" donated property to Cluny for the soul of "Letaudi filii mei"[227].]  same person as…?  LAMBERT (-[993/1000]).  "Lantbertus miles…et uxor mea Ema et filii mei Wichardus et Gausfredus atque Berardus" donated property "in villa…Curtiacus" to Cluny by undated charter, dated to [993/1048], subscribed by "Walterii, Wigonis"[228].  There is no proof that this co-identity is correct.  However, the names of his sons Guichard and Berard suggest a connection with the family of the Seigneurs de Beaujeu.  m as her first husband, EMMA ---.  "Ema" donated property "in pago Matisconense in agro Ainniacensis ad Crevadicios" to Cluny with the consent of "filio meo Gauceranno" by undated charter, dated to [996/1031], which names "seniori meo Bernardo", subscribed by "Gauceranni filii eius, Emme filie eius, Vuichardi et uxoris eius, Hugonis, Vualterii"[229].  She married secondly (before 11 Nov 1003) Bernard, brother of Mayeul, ---.  "Emma et Maiolus clericus, frater senioris mei Bernardi" donated property "in comitatu Matisconensi in pagro Puziaco in villa Busserias" to Cluny for the soul of "senioris mei Bernardi" by charter dated 11 Nov 1003, subscribed by "Wichardi…"[230].  She maybe married thirdly Odilo ---.  "Emma uxor condam Odilonis" donated property "in pago Matisconense in villa Ammoniaco in agro Ainacensi" to Cluny by charter dated [24 Oct 1007/23 Oct 1008], subscribed by "Vuichardi…"[231].  Lambert & his wife had four children: 

i)               GUICHARD .  "Lantbertus miles…et uxor mea Ema et filii mei Wichardus et Gausfredus atque Berardus" donated property "in villa…Curtiacus" to Cluny by undated charter, dated to [993/1048], subscribed by "Walterii, Wigonis"[232].  "…Vuichardi et uxoris eius…" subscribed the charter dated to [996/1031] under which "Ema" donated property to Cluny[233]m ---. 

ii)             GAUSFRED .  "Lantbertus miles…et uxor mea Ema et filii mei Wichardus et Gausfredus atque Berardus" donated property "in villa…Curtiacus" to Cluny by undated charter, dated to [993/1048], subscribed by "Walterii, Wigonis"[234].  "Gauceranni filii eius…" subscribed the charter dated to [996/1031] under which "Ema" donated property to Cluny[235]

iii)            BERARD .  "Lantbertus miles…et uxor mea Ema et filii mei Wichardus et Gausfredus atque Berardus" donated property "in villa…Curtiacus" to Cluny by undated charter, dated to [993/1048], subscribed by "Walterii, Wigonis"[236]

iv)           EMMA .  "…Emme filie eius…" subscribed the charter dated to [996/1031] under which "Ema" donated property to Cluny[237]

2.             TIBURGE .  Guichenon states that "Berardus" had a sister named Tiburge but does not cite the primary source on which this is based[238]

 

 

HUMBERT [I], son of BERARD & his wife Wandelmode [de Salins] (-before 1016).  The primary source which confirms directly that Humbert [I] was the son of Bérard has not yet been identified, but the various primary sources cited below indicate that this is probably correct.  He founded the church of Beaujeu with his parents[239].  The chronology of the charters in which he, his brothers and his sons are named suggests that Humbert was one of the oldest of his parents' children.  "Humbertus…[et] Ameldis uxor mea" made a donation of property "in pago Lucdunensi in villa Ronnenco…capellam…sancti Germani…" to Cluny by charter dated [11Jul 966/10 Jul 967], subscribed by "Umbertus, Ameldis, Beraldus filius eius, Arbertus, Letaudus, Bladinus, Arnaldus, Girbertus, Ugo, Girardus, Arbertus, Aldebaldus"[240].  "Umbertus, Ameldus, Berardus, Vuichardus, Letaudus, Bermundus, Raimodis, Aldebaldus" witnessed the charter dated 978 under which "Vuichardus" donated property to Cluny[241], the first five witnesses presumably being Guichard's brother Humbert, the latter's wife and their three sons.  "Humbertus et uxor mea Emeldis" donated property "in pago Matisconensi in villam…Morgonum" to Cluny by charter dated to [987/96], subscribed by "Berardi, Wichardi et Letaudi filiorum ipsorum"[242].  "Vuigonis, Lamberti…Humberti…" subscribed the charter dated to [987/96] under which "Vuandalmodis et filius meus Vuichardus" donated property to Cluny for the soul of "Letaudi filii mei"[243].  "Umbertus et uxor mea Aimeldis" donated property "in pago Lugdunensi" to Cluny by charter dated 994, subscribed by "Berardi, Wicardi, Letaudi et filiorum eius…"[244], the subscribers presumably being the sons of the joint donors despite the wording of the document. 

m ([966/67] or before) EMELDIS, daughter of --- (-[997/98]).  "Humbertus…[et] Ameldis uxor mea" made a donation of property to Cluny by charter dated [11Jul 966/10 Jul 967][245].  "Umbertus, Ameldus, Berardus, Vuichardus, Letaudus…" witnessed the charter dated 978 under which "Vuichardus" donated property to Cluny[246], these five witnesses presumably being Guichard's brother Humbert, the latter's wife and their three sons. 

Humbert [I] & his wife had [eight] children: 

1.             BERAUD (-[994 or after).  "Beraldus filius eius" subscribed the charter of "Humbertus…[et] Ameldis uxor mea" dated [11 Jul 966/10 Jul 967][247].  "Umbertus, Ameldus, Berardus, Vuichardus, Letaudus…" witnessed the charter dated 978 under which "Vuichardus" donated property to Cluny[248], these five witnesses presumably being Guichard's brother Humbert, his wife and their three sons.  "Humbertus et uxor mea Emeldis" donated property "in pago Matisconensi in villam…Morgonum" to Cluny by charter dated to [987/96], subscribed by "Berardi, Wichardi et Letaudi filiorum ipsorum"[249].  "Umbertus et uxor mea Aimeldis" donated property "in pago Lugdunensi" to Cluny by charter dated 994, subscribed by "Berardi, Wicardi, Letaudi et filiorum eius"[250], the subscribers presumably being the sons of the joint donors despite the wording of the document. 

2.             GUICHARD [II] (before 978-[1031/50]).  "Humbertus et uxor mea Emeldis" donated property "in pago Matisconensi in villam…Morgonum" to Cluny by charter dated to [987/96], subscribed by "Berardi, Wichardi et Letaudi filiorum ipsorum"[251]

-        see below

3.             LETAUD .  "Umbertus, Ameldus, Berardus, Vuichardus, Letaudus…" witnessed the charter dated 978 under which "Vuichardus" donated property to Cluny[252], these five witnesses presumably being Guichard's brother Humbert, his wife and their three sons.  "Humbertus et uxor mea Emeldis" donated property "in pago Matisconensi in villam…Morgonum" to Cluny by charter dated to [987/96], subscribed by "Berardi, Wichardi et Letaudi filiorum ipsorum"[253].  "Umbertus et uxor mea Aimeldis" donated property "in pago Lugdunensi" to Cluny by charter dated 994, subscribed by "Berardi, Wicardi, Letaudi et filiorum eius"[254], the subscribers presumably being the sons of the joint donors despite the wording of the document. 

4.             [HUGUES .  "Ricoarie uxoris eius ac filii eorum Humberti, Hugonis avunculi eius" subscribed the charter dated to [1031/60] under which "Wicardus veniens de Bellijoco" donated property to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon "recordans peccata…pater suus Wicardus"[255].  If avunculus is given its literal interpretation, Hugues would have been the maternal uncle of Guichard [I].  If this is correct, it would also explain the absence of Hugues from the two charters dated 994 and to [987/96] which are subscribed by the three known sons of Humbert [I].] 

5.             ETIENNE .  Guichenon names "Etienne, Beraurd, Elisabeth, Wandelmode" as younger children of Humbert & his wife but does not cite the primary source on which this is based[256]

6.             BERAUD .  Guichenon names "Etienne, Beraurd, Elisabeth, Wandelmode" as younger children of Humbert & his wife but does not cite the primary source on which this is based[257]

7.             ELISABETH .  Guichenon names "Etienne, Beraurd, Elisabeth, Wandelmode" as younger children of Humbert & his wife but does not cite the primary source on which this is based[258]

8.             WANDELMODE .  Guichenon names "Etienne, Beraurd, Elisabeth, Wandelmode" as younger children of Humbert & his wife but does not cite the primary source on which this is based[259]

 

 

GUICHARD [II], son of HUMBERT [I] & his wife Emeldis --- (-[1031/50]).  "Umbertus, Ameldus, Berardus, Vuichardus, Letaudus…" witnessed the charter dated 978 under which "Vuichardus" donated property to Cluny[260], these five witnesses presumably being Guichard's brother Humbert, his wife and their three sons.  "Humbertus et uxor mea Emeldis" donated property "in pago Matisconensi in villam…Morgonum" to Cluny by charter dated to [987/96], subscribed by "Berardi, Wichardi et Letaudi filiorum ipsorum"[261].  "Umbertus et uxor mea Aimeldis" donated property "in pago Lugdunensi" to Cluny by charter dated 994, subscribed by "Berardi, Wicardi, Letaudi et filiorum eius"[262], the subscribers presumably being the sons of the joint donors despite the wording of the document.  "Wichardus" donated property "in pago Augustodunensi…in villa Mozocst" to Cluny by undated charter dated to [993/1048], subscribed by "Adelaidis uxoris eius, Wichardi filii eius"[263].  "Wichardus" donated property "in loco…Rocam in villa Quinciaco" to Cluny by charter dated 1020, subscribed by "Adeledis uxoris eius, Wichardi filii eius"[264]

m ADELAIDE, daughter of ---.  "Wichardus" donated property "in loco…Rocam in villa Quinciaco" to Cluny by charter dated 1020, subscribed by "Adeledis uxoris eius, Wichardi filii eius"[265]

Guichard [II] & his wife had four children: 

1.             GUICHARD [III] (-after 31 Mar 1070).  "Wichardus" donated property "in loco…Rocam in villa Quinciaco" to Cluny by charter dated 1020, subscribed by "Adeledis uxoris eius, Wichardi filii eius"[266]

-        see below

2.             HUGUES .  He is named with his supposed brothers Guichard and Etienne in a 1076 letter from the papal legate relating to the recently restored church of Beaujeu, in relation to Berard, Wandelmodis and Humbert described as their parentes and avus[267]m ---.  The name of Hugues's wife is not known.  Hugues & his wife had [two] children: 

a)             WIGO (-after [1070]).  "Stephanus [de Bellojoco]" donated property to Cluny with the consent of "Wigo filius Hugonis consobrinus eius, necnon etiam Humbertus, Wichardus atque Dalmatius filii Wichardi, consobrini ipsius similiter…atque Wichardi monachi consobrini ipsius Stephani" by charter dated [1070][268].  As "nepos" of Dalmas of Verneis, he consented to the latter's 1090 dying gift to Cluny[269]

b)             [GUICHARD (-after [1070]).  "Stephanus [de Bellojoco]" donated property to Cluny with the consent of "Wigo filius Hugonis consobrinus eius, necnon etiam Humbertus, Wichardus atque Dalmatius filii Wichardi, consobrini ipsius similiter…atque Wichardi monachi consobrini ipsius Stephani" by charter dated [1070][270].  Although this document does not name the father of "Wichardi monachi", it is likely that this was Hugues de Beaujeu.] 

3.             ETIENNE .  He is named with his supposed brothers Guichard and Hugues in the 1076 letter from the papal legate[271]m ---.  The name of Etienne's wife is not known.  Etienne & his wife had [two] children:

a)             ETIENNE (-after 1090).  "Stephanus [de Bellojoco]" donated property to Cluny with the consent of "Wigo filius Hugonis consobrinus eius, necnon etiam Humbertus, Wichardus atque Dalmatius filii Wichardi, consobrini ipsius similiter…atque Wichardi monachi consobrini ipsius Stephani" by charter dated [1070][272].  As "nepos" of Dalmas of Verneis, he consented to the latter's 1090 dying gift to Cluny[273].  He made a gift to Beaujeu in 1090 for the soul of his late brother Letaud[274]

b)             LETAUD (-1090).  Brother of Etienne who made a gift to Beaujeu for his soul in 1090[275]

4.             WANDELMODE .  She is named as sister of Guichard in the 1076 letter from the papal legate[276]

 

 

GUICHARD [III], son of GUICHARD [II] [Seigneur de Beaujeu] & his wife Adelaide --- (-after 31 Mar 1070).  "Wichardus" donated property "in loco…Rocam in villa Quinciaco" to Cluny by charter dated 1020, subscribed by "Adeledis uxoris eius, Wichardi filii eius"[277].  His parentage is confirmed in the charter dated to [1031/60] under which "Wicardus veniens de Bellijoco" donated property to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon "recordans peccata…pater suus Wicardus", subscribed by "Ricoarie uxoris eius ac filii eorum Humberti, Hugonis avunculi eius"[278]

m RICHOARA [de Salornay, daughter of ROCLENUS & his wife Testa ---].  Guichenon names the wife of Guichard [III] as Richoara de Salornay, although the editor of the 1874 edition says that this is not certain as no document proves it[279].  "Wichardus miles de Bellojoco" donated property "in comitatu Matisconensi in villa Brurericus in agro Biliaco" to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon by charter dated to [1031/62] subscribed by "uxoris eius Ricoare et filiorum eius Humberti, Guichardi et Dalmacii"[280].  "Ricoarie uxoris eius ac filii eorum Humberti, Hugonis avunculi eius" subscribed the charter dated to [1031/60] under which "Wicardus veniens de Bellijoco" donated property to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon "recordans peccata…pater suus Wicardus"[281].  She is named with her husband and sons in charters dated to [1031/60].  Richoara donated the church of Vitry to Cluny for the souls of "patris mee Rocleni et matris mee Tedce et sponsi mei domni Wichardi" by charter dated [1055] subscribed by "Joceranni Rufi, Wichardi, Umberti, Wichardi, Dalmatii, Gaumarii, Petri"[282].  By a second charter dated [1055] "Richoara uxor Wichardi de Bellojoco" donated the church of Vitry with the consent of "viro meo Wichardo et filiis meis Humberto et Dalmatio et filiabus meis" to Cluny, which confirms that after the death of Richoara "Lebaldus de Igonia gener eius" was obliged to accept this donation to settle a dispute with the abbey[283]

Guichard [III] & his wife had seven children: 

1.             HUMBERT [II] (-[1102/03]).  "Wichardus miles de Bellojoco" donated property to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon by charter dated to [1031/62] subscribed by "uxoris eius Ricoare et filiorum eius Humberti, Guichardi et Dalmacii"[284].  "Ricoarie uxoris eius ac filii eorum Humberti, Hugonis avunculi eius" subscribed the charter dated to [1031/60] under which "Wicardus veniens de Bellijoco" donated property to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon "recordans peccata…pater suus Wicardus"[285].  "Stephanus [de Bellojoco]" donated property to Cluny with the consent of "Wigo filius Hugonis consobrinus eius, necnon etiam Humbertus, Wichardus atque Dalmatius filii Wichardi, consobrini ipsius similiter…atque Wichardi monachi consobrini ipsius Stephani" by charter dated [1070][286]m firstly WANDELMODE de Thiern, daughter of GUILLAUME de Thiern & his wife Adelaide de Chalon.  The primary source which confirms her origin and marriage has not yet been identified.  m secondly ([1080]) AUXILIA, daughter of --- (-[6 Sep] 1094 or after).  She is named with her husband in 1090, but without her origin[287].  According to Europäische Stammtafeln[288], she was Auxilia de Savoie, daughter of of Amédée II Comte de Savoie & his wife Jeanne [de Genève].  Guichenon suggests that there is confusion between Auxilia and Alix de Savoie, wife of Humbert [III] (see below)[289].  The necrology of Notre-Dame de Beaujeu records "Humberti et Auxilie uxoris domini Bellijoci" on "VII Id Sep"[290], but it is not clear which death is commemorated.  Humbert [II] & his second wife had six children:

5.             daughter .  The origin of the wife of Liebaud de Digoine is determined from the second charter dated [1055] under which "Richoara uxor Wichardi de Bellojoco" donated the church of Vitry with the consent of "viro meo Wichardo et filiis meis Humberto et Dalmatio et filiabus meis" to Cluny, which confirms that after the death of Richoara "Lebaldus de Igonia gener eius" was obliged to accept this donation to settle a dispute with the abbey[302]m LIEBAUD Seigneur de Digoine, son of JOCERAN Seigneur de Digoine & his wife ---.  "Jocerannus de Digonia" donated property to Cluny, confirmed after his death by "Letbaudus de Digonia filius eius…filius ipsius Leubaudi, Letbaudus iunior", by two undated charters which refer to the unnamed wife of "Letbaudus [senior]".  She and her husband are named in Cluny charters[303]

Guichard [IV] & his wife had eight children: 

1.             GUICHARD de Beaujeu (-18 Aug after 1118).  1118.  The necrology of Notre-Dame de Beaujeu records the death "XV Kal Sep" of "Vuichardus Belijocensis filius domini Humberti"[309]

4.             [ETIENNE de Beaujeu .  "Stephanus Beljocensis decanus" is named in and also witnessed a charter dated to [1144/66][311].  The document contains no reference to any relationship with the family of the Seigneurs de Beaujeu, although this is a possibility as Etienne was a family name used in previous generations.]

6.             MARIE de Beaujeu .  The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified.  1118. 

7.             [daughter .  Her parentage is assumed from her supposed brother Humbert [III] Sire de Beaujeu calling her son Guy [II] Comte de Forez nepos[312]m GUY [I] Comte de Lyon et de Forez, son of GUIGUES RAYMOND d'Albon & his wife Ita Raymond de Forez ([1095]-26 or 27 Oct 1138).] 

8.             HUMBERT [III] de Beaujeu ([1120]-[1192]).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.   Seigneur de Beaujeu.  He went on crusade in 1142, joining the Templars in Jerusalem but giving up the Order on his return.  m ALIX [Elise] de Savoie, daughter of AMEDEE III Comte de Savoie & his first wife Adelaide ---.  She is named as wife of Humbert in a Beaujeu charter[313].  Her origin is also alluded to in the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines which names "pater Wichardi [de Belloico] senior Humbertus" as "nepos ex sorore comitis Sabaudie", although she is not named in this source[314].  Her birth date range is estimated based on the birth of her second son in 1142, as shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[315]. Dame de Châteauneuf-en-Valromey, de Virieu-le-Grand, et de Cordon-en-Bugey[316]"Amedeus comes et marchio" confirmed donations to Saint-Sulpice en Bugey, for the soul of "filii mei Humberti", by charter dated to [1148], which also names "uxore mea Matildi", confirmed by "Aalasia comitissa de Bello Joco…cum filio meo Guichardo"[317].  Humbert [III] & his wife had five children: 

a)             HUGUES de Beaujeu (-before [1195]).  A manuscript genealogy of the Cabinet de d'Hozier refers to "une charte de 1194" which names "Hug, Guichard, Humbert et Guy" as the children of "Humbert et Alexie sa femme"[318].  No other indication concerning this charter has yet been found, and it is presumed that it has not survived.  If the wording of the charter is correctly reported as above by d'Hozier, Hugues must have been his parents' oldest child.  If this is correct, he must have predeceased his brother Humbert [IV] and left no descendants, as they would otherwise have been the legitimate heirs to Beaujeu.  Published secondary sources, Europäische Stammtafeln[319] for example, show Hugues as third brother.  The basis for this has not yet been traced.  It is likely that it dates from Guichenon[320] who names "Hugues de Beaujeu" as father of Guicharde de Beaujeu, wife of Archambaud [VI] Vicomte de Comborn and named as "consanguinea nostra" in the first testament of Guichard [V] Seigneur de Beaujeu dated to [1195] (see below).  Guichenon cites no primary source on which his speculation is based, and it must be incorrect if the wording of the 1194 charter is correctly stated as above. 

b)             GUICHARD de Beaujeu (-19 Aug 1165).  A manuscript genealogy of the Cabinet de d'Hozier refers to "une charte de 1194" which names "Hug, Guichard, Humbert et Guy" as the children of "Humbert et Alexie sa femme"[321].  "Amedeus comes et marchio" confirmed donations to Saint-Sulpice en Bugey, for the soul of "filii mei Humberti", by charter dated to [1148], which also names "uxore mea Matildi", confirmed by "Aalasia comitissa de Bello Joco…cum filio meo Guichardo"[322]

c)             HUMBERT [IV] de Beaujeu (-[1189]).  A manuscript genealogy of the Cabinet de d'Hozier refers to "une charte de 1194" which names "Hug, Guichard, Humbert et Guy" as the children of "Humbert et Alexie sa femme"[323].  He died on the Third Crusade. 

-        see below

d)             GUY de Beaujeu (-before [1195]).  A manuscript genealogy of the Cabinet de d'Hozier refers to "une charte de 1194" which names "Hug, Guichard, Humbert et Guy" as the children of "Humbert et Alexie sa femme"[324].  If this document is correctly reported as shown here, Guy must have been the fourth son.  As he is not named as second heir to Guichard [V] Seigneur de Beaujeu in the latter's first testament (see below), he must have died before the date of this document.  It is possible that he was the father of "Guicharda consanguinea nostra", named as second heir of Guichard [V] in that testament.  However, no reference has been found to his marriage. 

e)             PONTIA de Beaujeu .  The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified.  m as his first wife, GUILLAUME [IV] Comte de Vienne et de Mâcon, son of GERAUD [I] Comte de Mâcon et de Vienne [Bourgogne-Comté] & his wife Guyonne [Maurette] de Salins (-1224). 

f)               [son/daughter].  The identity of Guicharde's parents is unknown.  The documents quoted below suggest that Guicharde was the second surviving heir of the Beaujeu family in [1195], after the sister of Guichard [V] Seigneur de Beaujeu.  It is assumed therefore that she was the daughter of one of the siblings of Humbert [IV].  Guichenon names "Hugues de Beaujeu" as her father[325], without citing any primary source on which this is based.  As explained above, Guichenon's hypothesis would be disproved by the report concerning the wording of the charter dated 1194 (referred to above), according to which Hugues was his parents' oldest child.  As noted above, no reference to any marriage of Guy, youngest surviving brother, has been identified.  It therefore appears more probable that Guicharde was the daughter of Pontia, who must have died before [1195] if this speculation is correct.  It is of course possible that all the siblings of Humbert [IV] died childless.  If this is correct, Guicharde would have been the senior descendant of the oldest surviving sister of Humbert [III] Seigneur de Beaujeu.  The only probable sister whose marriage is recorded was the wife of Guy [I] Comte de Lyon et de Forez.  This couple is recorded as leaving male descendants, who must have been alive at the date of Guichard [V]'s first testament.  It does not therefore appear possible that Guicharde was that couple's senior descendant.  In conclusion therefore, it appears the most likely case that Pontia de Beaujeu was Guicharde's mother.  It should be noted that none of the sources quoted below refer to Guicharde as "Guicharde de Beaujeu".  It would not therefore be inconsistent with these documents for her to have been "Guicharde de Mâcon".  m ---.  One child: 

i)               GUICHARDE .  The precise parentage of Guicharde is not known, but as explained above it is most likely that she was the daughter of one of the siblings of Humbert [IV] de Beaujeu, Pontia the first wife of Guillaume [IV] Comte de Vienne et de Mâcon being the most likely possibility.  "Domini Vicardi Bellijoci" drew up a first testament dated to [1195], when he was unmarried, leaving Beaujeu to his (unnamed) sister and Bugey ("terram de Beuzeis") to "Vicardo, filio domine Vicarde"[326].  "Guichardus Belli Joci dominus" names "Guicharda consanguinea nostra" in his second testament dated 18 Sep 1216, when recording his agreement with her that Bugey should be left to the testator's third son instead of to Guicharde (hinting at the earlier testament dated to [1195] under which the testator left the territory to Guicharde's son)[327].  A charter dated Oct 1246 records an agreement between "Bernardus de Comborn" and Humbert [V] Seigneur de Beaujeu, relating to Bernard's rights "in terra et baronia Bellijoci ex parte dominæ Guichardæ quondam matris nostræ" granted to "Archambaldo…vicecomiti de Comborn patri nostro" by "dominus Guichardus de Bellojoco quondam pater ipsius Humberti"[328].  Her marriage is dated from her absence from the original text of the Chronique de Geoffroy de Vigeois, which is dated to [1184][329]m ARCHAMBAUD [VI] Vicomte de Comborn, son of ARCHAMBAUD [V] Vicomte de Comborn & his wife Jordana de Périgord.  1229. 

 

 

HUMBERT [IV] de Beaujeu, son of HUMBERT [III] Seigneur de Beaujeu & his wife Alix [Elise] de Savoie (-[1189])A manuscript genealogy of the Cabinet de d'Hozier refers to "une charte de 1194" which names "Hug, Guichard, Humbert et Guy" as the children of "Humbert et Alexie sa femme"[330].  He died on the Third Crusade. 

m ([1160]) as her second husband, AGNES de Montpensier, widow of RAYMOND de Bourgogne Comte de Grignon [Capet], daughter of GUY de Thiern Seigneur de Montpensier & his wife ---.  The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified.  Her two marriages are deduced from the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines which names "Agnes de Montepancerii in Alvernia" as the mother of "domni de Belloioco Wichardi" (her son by her second marriage) and specifies that she was also mother of "Mathilde comitisse Nivernensis"[331]

Chapter 7.    VICOMTES de BEAUNE

m INGOLA, daughter of ---.  "Oddo vicecomes filius Heinrici ducis…et eius uxor Hingala" donated property to Saint-Bénigne-de-Dijon by charter dated 1003[390].  The origin of Ingola is unknown.  Settipani suggests that she may have been from the family of the Comtes de Duesme[391].  The Chronicle of St Bénigne de Dijon records a donation by "Oddo Vicecomes, filius Hinrici Ducis" which names "uxor eius Hingala" dated 1005[392].  "Odo Belnensis vicecomes" with the consent of "uxoris suæ nomine Inge et filiorum eius Aquionis abbatis et Joannis" are named in a charter dated 1012 as donors of part of the property exchanged between "Willelmus abbas Divionensis et Amadeus Flaviniacensis abbas"[393].  Vicomte Eudes & his wife had [three] children:

Chapter 8.    COMTES de BOLENOIS, SEIGNEURS de SAXFONTAINE

 

 

 

AIMON [II], son of [AIMON [I] [d'Auxois] & his wife ---] (-before [1034/46]).  His suggested origin is based on the following.  "Miles nobilis stemmatis linea progenitus…Vualo…cum sua iugali…Iudith" donated a serf to the abbey of Flavigny by undated charter[410].  It is noted in the compilation that Duchesne[411] adds a list of signatories, not in any of the surviving manuscripts, which includes "Vualonis, Iudith uxoris eius, Aymonis comitis fratris eius qui consensit, Hervei fratris eius alterius…".  If this correctly refers to Aimon [II], later Comte de Bolenois, he was presumably older than his brother Gauthier because of his position in the list.  He may even have been his father's oldest son, because of his title "comitis", but in this case it is curious that he is not named in any of his father's charters and in particular does not appear in his father's 1004 testament.  Comte de Bolenois.  Lambert Bishop of Langres granted the right of jouissance in the abbey of Sexfontaine to "Aimo…et uxori…Cunegundis cum duobus filiis…Heynricus…et Ottho" by charter dated 23 Jan 1019[412].  "Haymo [comes]" donated land near Saxfontaine castle to Saint-Bénigne de Dijon by charter dated 1030 before Sep subscribed[413].  Hugues Bishop of Langres returned the church of Saint-Pierre de Meure to the abbey of Sexfontaine at the request of "Haymonis comitis" by charter dated 1034 subscribed by "Aymonis, Conigundis et filiorum eius Girardi et Ottonis"[414]

m (before [1017]) CUNIGUNDE, daughter of ---.  Lambert Bishop of Langres granted the right of jouissance in the abbey of Sexfontaine to "Aimo…et uxori…Cunegundis cum duobus filiis…Heynricus…et Ottho" by charter dated 23 Jan 1019[415].  Hugues Bishop of Langres returned the church of Saint-Pierre de Meure to the abbey of Sexfontaine at the request of "Haymonis comitis" by charter dated 1034 subscribed by "Aymonis, Conigundis et filiorum eius Girardi et Ottonis"[416]

Vicomte Aimon [II] & his wife had two children: 

1.             HENRI [Gérard] (-1034 or before).  Lambert Bishop of Langres granted the right of jouissance in the abbey of Sexfontaine to "Aimo…et uxori…Cunegundis cum duobus filiis…Heynricus…et Ottho" by charter dated 23 Jan 1019[417].  Hugues Bishop of Langres returned the church of Saint-Pierre de Meure to the abbey of Sexfontaine at the request of "Haymonis comitis" by charter dated 1034 subscribed by "Aymonis, Conigundis et filiorum eius Girardi et Ottonis"[418].  It is likely that "Heynricus" and "Girardi" in these two documents refer to the same person.  In both cases the name appears before that of "Ottonis", implying that Otto was the younger brother.  However, if there had been three brothers Henri, Gérard and Otto, it is likely that Gérard would also have been named in the earlier charter dated 1019.  It is clear that Henri (and also Gérard if he was a separate individual) died before his brother Otto, who is later recorded as his father's successor. 

2.             OTTO (-after [1034/46]).  Lambert Bishop of Langres granted the right of jouissance in the abbey of Sexfontaine to "Aimo…et uxori…Cunegundis cum duobus filiis…Heynricus…et Ottho" by charter dated 23 Jan 1019[419].  Hugues Bishop of Langres returned the church of Saint-Pierre de Meure to the abbey of Sexfontaine at the request of "Haymonis comitis" by charter dated 1034 subscribed by "Aymonis, Conigundis et filiorum eius Girardi et Ottonis"[420].  He succeeded his father as Comte de Bolenois.  "Comes Otto" donated property to Saint-Bénigne de Dijon in memory of "pater meus Aymo" by charter dated to [1034/46][421]

b)             GUICHARD de Bourbon-Lancy (-after [1055/65]).  "Ansedei de Burbon, Ansedeii filii eius, Wichardi filii eius…" subscribed the charter of "Hugo comes" under which he donated property to Paray-le-Monial, dated to before 1039[436].  "Guichard [de Bourbon-Lancy]" donated property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire when "ma fille vierge nommé Cécile" was about to become a nun "approuvé par mon fils Dalmace" by charter dated to [1055/65][437]m MATHILDE de Semur, daughter DALMAS [I] Seigneur de Semur & his wife Aremburge ---.  The origin of the wife of Guichard de Bourbon-Lancy is proved by the charter dated to [1098/1109] under which "Dalmacius Borbonensis" (this couple's son) donated property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire in which he names "avunculus meus domnus Hugo abbas Cluniacensis"[438].  Bouchard highlights that she is named as Mathilde only by Jean Richard in his study of the cartulary of Marcigny, not in the actual charters[439].  The four daughters of Dalmas [I] Seigneur de Semur are named in the "Notes historiques sur le prieuré de Marcigny", included in the cartulary of Marcigny-sur-Loire, (in order) "…Materdis, Adalaidæ et Cecilæ atque Evellæ"[440].  Other sources name the husbands of Adelaide and "Evella" [Hélie].  It is not impossible that the wife of Guichard was the daughter named Cécile.  Guichard & his wife had two children: 

i)               DALMAS de Bourbon-Lancy .  "Guichard [de Bourbon-Lancy]" donated property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire when "ma fille vierge nommé Cécile" was about to become a nun "approuvé par mon fils Dalmace" by charter dated to [1055/65][441].  "Dalmacius Borbonensis" donated property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire by charter dated to [1098/1109] in which he names "avunculus meus domnus Hugo abbas Cluniacensis"[442]m WILLELMA, daughter of ---.  "Dalmacius Borbonensis et eius frater Wichardus necnon et Willelmus Fortis qui eorum habet sororem" donated property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire "pro eorum matre Willelma" who was about to become a nun there, by charter dated to [after 1130?][443].  Dalmas & his wife had three children:

Chapter 10.  COMTES de CHALON

 

 

The earliest record of the county of Chalon identified in the primary sources so far consulted is the appointment of Ekkehard (of the Carolingian family of Nibelung/Childebrand) as comte de Chalon in 863.  He was also appointed comte d'Autun and comte de Mâcon in 873, which suggests that he played an important role in the whole of the future duchy of Burgundy.  It is assumed that he continued to hold these counties until his death in [876/77], although it is not clear who succeeded him.  The dispute over control of Burgundy involving the future Boson King [of Provence] must have started shortly after Ekkehard died.  King Boson's brother Richard was installed as comte d'Autun and comte d'Auxerre, and it is possible that he also assumed control over Chalon and Mâcon. 

 

The next recorded comte de Chalon is Lambert, son of Robert Vicomte de Dijon, who was probably invested with the county some time in the 950s.  No record has yet been found to indicate who appointed him as count.  As mentioned below, it is likely that Lambert was related to the family of the early comtes de Mâcon but the precise relationship is not known.  His descendants continued to govern the county until the death of Comte Hugues in 1039, when Chalon was inherited by the deceased count's nephew Thibaut de Semur.  On the death of the latter, Chalon passed to the family of the seigneurs de Thiers.  Chalon was inherited by a junior branch of the family of the comtes palatins de Bourgogne in 1227.  In 1237, Comte Jean "l'Antique/le Sage" exchanged Chalon-sur-Saône and Auxonne with his brother-in-law Hugues IV Duke of Burgundy for Salins (including its salt mines, which meant that the deal was economically more favourable for Jean de Chalon), Bracon, Vuillefans and other seigneuries in upper Burgundy. 

 

 

 

A.      COMTES de CHALON

 

 

1.             EKKEHARD [Ecchard], son of CHILDEBRAND [III] & his wife Dunna --- ([810/15]-[Jan 876/Jun 877], bur monastère de Fleury-sur-Loire, Nièvre).  "Hludovvicus…imperator augustus" granted land at Perrecy in Autun to "fideli nostro Ecchardo" by charter dated 29 Dec 839[448].  The Annales Bertiniani record that "filii Etkardi comitis duo, item Eokardus, Guntardus et Richuinus comites" were captured at the siege of Toulouse in 844[449], Settipani suggesting that "item Eokardus" refers to Ekkehard son of Childebrand [III] and his wife Dunna[450].  Ekkehard was one of the rebels against King Charles "le Chauve" in 858.  Invested as Comte de Chalon in 863, Comte d'Autun et Comte de Mâcon in 873.  A charter dated to [866/75] relates to a dispute between "Vulfaldum episcopum et Heccardum comitem" concerning land at Perrecy, heard before "Leudo episcopus et Adelardus comes missi dominici in comitatu Augustidunense", refers to a charter "de temporibus domni Pipini regis sive de nomen Nivelongi"[451]

 

 

ROBERT, son of --- (-after 952)same person as…?  ROBERT (-[958/60]).  Bouchard suggests that Robert was the same person as the Robert who was named in a 952 charter for St Etienne with his brother Rodolfe Comte de Dijon, recalling their mother and her husband Archambaud[452].  Vicomte d'Autun.  Vicomte de Dijon.  940.  "Rotbertus…vicecomes et coniunx mea Ingeltrudis" donated property to Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire for the soul of "Ramgardis" by charter dated Dec 958 subscribed by "Lanberti filii eorum, Wichardi, Ugonis, Letaldi, Waloni"[453]

m INGELTRUDE, daughter of ---.  940.  "Rotbertus…vicecomes et coniunx mea Ingeltrudis" donated property to Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire by charter dated Dec 958 subscribed by "Lanberti filii eorum, Wichardi, Ugonis, Letaldi, Waloni"[454].  The origin of Ingeltrud is unknown.  Jackman[455] suggests, for onomastic reasons only, that she may have been Ingeltrud, daughter of Eberhard Graf im Oberlahngau, Pfalzgraf [Konradiner] & his wife ---.  However, this appears unlikely from a geographical perspective.  In addition, no strikingly typical Konradiner names feature among this couple's descendants.  Settipani suggests that Ingeltrud may have been the daughter of Eberhard's younger brother Otto[456].  It is more likely that she was related to the comtes de Mâcon, which would explain why Letald Comte de Mâcon names her son as "Lanbertus consanguineus meus" in his charter dated 944[457]

Robert & his wife had three children: 

1.             LAMBERT (-22 Feb 979).  "Lanbertus consanguineus meus" was named by Letald Comte de Mâcon in a charter dated 944[458], although any relationship between the early comtes de Chalon and the comtes de Mâcon has not been established.  "Lanberti filii eorum…" subscribed the charter dated Dec 958 under which "Rotbertus…vicecomes et coniunx mea Ingeltrudis" donated property to Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire[459].  He is named as Comte de Chalon-sur-Saône in a 960 charter[460].  [m firstly ---.  There is no evidence that Comte Lambert had a first wife before he married Adelais.  However, if Gerberge was Lambert's daughter (which is far from certain, as explained below), it is extremely unlikely from a chronological point of view that her mother could have been Adelais.]  m [secondly] as her first husband, ADELAIS, daughter of --- (-after 18 Oct 984).  "Lanbertus comes [et]…Adeleydis uxor mea" made a joint donation of "capellam beati Martini in villa Vigoseto" to Cluny by charter dated 978[461].  If Adelais was the mother of all of Comte Lambert's children, she could not have been born later than [930/32].  This is early for her also to have given birth to her son by her second marriage after 978.  The date would of course be later if Adelaide was Comte Lambert's second wife, as suggested above.  The origin of Adelais has been the subject of much speculation.  Settipani has suggested[462] that she was the daughter of Hugues Comte en Bourgogne and his wife Willa von Thurgau.  Chaume suggested[463] that Adelais was the daughter or granddaughter of Charles Constantin Comte de Vienne.  Bouchard sets out several different theories concerning Adelais's origin, with the aim mainly of explaining Lambert's accession to Chalon by inheritance through his wife.  However, none appears to be based on any primary documentation and Bouchard concludes that she prefers "to leave Adelais's origins unknown"[464].  An earlier theory was that Adelais was the sister of "Wera" Ctss de Meaux[465], which would mean that she was Adelais, daughter of Giselbert Duke of Burgundy & his wife Ermengardis [de Dijon].  Duchesne[466] suggested that she was the daughter of Robert Comte de Meaux et de Troyes, although this would mean that the two wives of Geoffroy I Comte d'Anjou were sisters, no mention of which has so far been found in contemporary sources.  Another suggestion is that Adelais Ctss de Chalon was the same person as Wera-Adelais Ctss de Meaux.  However, this is even more unlikely from a chronological perspective considering the estimated birth date of Wera-Adelais and the fact that Adelais de Chalon gave birth to at least one child by her second husband, Geoffroy Comte d'Anjou, after her marriage in 979.  It would also mean that Comte Geoffroy married, as his second wife, his first wife's mother which is unlikely.  In 1619, Duchesne[467] suggested that Adelais was the sister of Guillaume I Comte d'Arles.  Adelais married secondly (2 or 9 Mar 979) as his second wife, Geoffroi I "Grisegonelle" Comte d'Anjou, who acted as Comte de Chalon until his death in 987.  Comte Lambert & his [first] wife had [one possible child]: 

a)             [GERBERGE ([945]-11 Dec [987/991]).  Her name and her two marriages are confirmed by the Chronicle of Saint-Bénigne, interpolated into the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines, which names "Guilelmum Ottonem et eius matrem Gerbergam" when recording that her son was adopted by his mother's second husband "dux Burgundie Henricus"[468].  Her birth date is estimated from the estimated birth date of her son in [960/62].  Her origin is indicated by the Vita of Hugues Comte de Chalon which refers to his (unnamed) sister as having married the duke of Burgundy[469].  Chronologically, this refers most probably to Duke Henri who died in 1002, although the original of this document has not yet been consulted to check whether the wording supports this conclusion.  Gerberge's origin has not yet been corroborated in the other primary sources so far consulted.  The Vita appears to indicate that Lambert Comte de Chalon was her father, but this raises several problems if it is correct.  Firstly, on the death without direct heirs in 1039 of her supposed brother Hugues Comte de Chalon, the county was inherited by the comparatively obscure children of his younger sister Mathilde, apparently ignoring the superior claims of Gerberge's own numerous descendants, among whom were the powerful counts palatine of Burgundy who, one would have thought, would not have missed the opportunity of acquiring another county.  Rodulfus Glaber does record that "Hugo filius Lanberti Cabilonensis comitisepiscopus Autissioderi" was an opponent of "Willemus, Henrici ducis priuignus, Adalberti Longobardorum ducis filius"[470], which could explain why Bishop Hugues favoured a nephew by his younger sister to succeed to his county.  Nevertheless, after the bishop's death, his past opposition to Comte Otto-Guillaume may have provided an excuse for his son to intervene in the Chalon succession if he had a legitimate claim.  Secondly, considering the likely birth date of her son, Gerberge's first marriage must have taken place while her husband and father-in-law were still reigning kings of Italy.  They were under continuous pressure from Otto I King of Germany and it is likely that Adalberto's marriage could have brought additional political support.  It is not clear how the relatively obscure count of Chalon could have provided this.  Thirdly, after the death in 978 of Lambert Comte de Chalon, and his widow's second marriage to Geoffroy I Comte d'Anjou, no record has been found in the primary sources so far consulted of Henri Duke of Burgundy intervening to prevent Comte Geoffroy taking control of the county of Chalon, which would seem the likely course of action if his wife was the deceased count's oldest child.  Fourthly, Gerberge's estimated birth date creates serious chronological problems (as explained further above) if she was the daughter of Lambert's only known wife Adelais.  Considerable doubt therefore appears to subsist concerning this origin of Gerberge, although no alternative can so far be proposed if we are to respect the wording of the Vita.  The necrology of Auxerre cathedral records the death 11 Dec of "Gerberga comitissa uxor Henrici ducis"[471]m firstly (before [960/62]) ADALBERTO II King of Italy, son of BERENGARIO II King of Italy [Ivrea] & his wife Willa of Burgundy ([932/936]-Autun [972/975]).  m secondly ([973]) [as his first wife,] HENRI Duke of Burgundy, son of HUGUES "le Grand" Duc des Francs & his third wife Hedwig of Germany ([948]-Château de Pouilly-sur-Saône 15 Oct 1002).  He adopted his wife's son by her first marriage, Otto-Guillaume later Comte de Bourgogne et de Macon.] 

Comte Lambert & his [second] wife had [three] children: 

b)             HUGUES de Chalon (-1039).  "Hugo filius Lanberti comitis" jointly donated land in "pago Cabilonensi" with "Gausfredus comes [et]…Adeleidis uxor mea" by charter dated Mar 979, signing "Hugonis filii eius" directly after "Adeleidis"[472].  That Hugues is the son of Adelaide is shown by the charter dated to [988] under which "Hugo comes" donated property to Cluny "pro absolutione patris Lantberti", also naming "mater mea Adelaydis et frater meus Mauricius"[473].  Rodulfus Glaber names "Hugo filius Lanberti Cabilonensis comitis" as his father's only son, specifying that he was "episcopus Autissioderi" and an opponent of "Willemus, Henrici ducis priuignus, Adalberti Longobardorum ducis filius"[474].  It is likely that Hugues was a minor at his father's death in light of his mother's rapid remarriage and his stepfather's assumption of the title Comte de Chalon in his place.  He succeeded his stepfather in 987 as Comte de Chalon.  Bishop of Auxerre 999.  "Hugo episcopus Autisiodorensium" donated property "medietatem curtis…Givriacum in Divionensium site" to Cluny for the soul "patris mei Lanberti matrisque mee Adheleydis" by charter dated 1019, which refers to the prior donation by "soror mea Maheldis et sponsus eius Gauzfredus"[475]

c)             MATHILDE de Chalon (-before 1019).  "Domnus Hugo comes Cabilonensium" donated property "in pago Augustudunensi in villa Martiniacensi" to Paray-le-Monial by undated charter subscribed by "Ottonis nepotis eius, Teudbaldi nepotis eius, Maltidis sororis eius"[476].  "Gausfredus et uxor mea Mahaldis et filii mei Gausfredus, Herveus, Oddo, Tethbaldus, Lanbertus" donated property to Cluny by charter dated to [1015][477].  "Hugo episcopus Autisiodorensium" donated property to Cluny by charter dated 1019, which refers to the prior donation by "soror mea Maheldis et sponsus eius Gauzfredus"[478].  Her parentage and her marriage are confirmed by the charter of "Tetbaldus comes Cabilonensis" dated [1050] which names "Lamberti avi mei [et] Adheleydem comitissam aviam meam"[479].  It is unlikely that her marriage could have taken place much before [990] considering the general chronology of the family, although this date is too inexact to include as her likely marriage date.  Dame de Donzy.  According to Bouchard, Mathilde is shown in the 12th century genealogy of the family as the first wife of Comte Geoffroy[480]m as his second wife, GEOFFROY I Seigneur de Semur [en-Brionnais], son of JOCERAN de Semur & his wife Richoara ---. 

d)             [--- de Chalon (-before 1018).  This possible origin of the mother of Otto Comte de Mâcon is deduced from the undated charter under which "domnus Hugo comes Cabilonensium" donated property "in pago Augustudunensi in villa Martiniacensi" to Paray-le-Monial which is subscribed by "Ottonis nepotis eius, Teudbaldi nepotis eius, Maltidis sororis eius"[481].  The same relationship is stated in the charter dated 1018 under which "Vualterius Æduorum presul" donated property to the abbey of Flavigny subscribed by "Landricus comes, Otto comes nepos Hugonis episcopi, Tetbaldus comes nepos ipsius episcopi"[482], and in the charter dated 1020 under which "Wido clericus" donated property "in pago Cabillonense" to Cluny, subscribed by "Ugo comes et episcopus et nepos eius Otto comes…"[483].  One explanation is that "Otto comes" in these three charters was the same person as Otto-Guillaume Comte de Mâcon, and that he was nepos of Hugues Comte de Chalon because his mother Gerberge was Hugues's older half-sister.  However, as shown above, the theory about Gerberge's Chalon origin is far from certain.  Another possibility is therefore that the three charters refer to Otto [II] Comte de Mâcon, grandson of Otto-Guillaume, the identity of whose mother has been the subject of much academic speculation.  If this second possibility is correct, this unnamed daughter presumably died before her sister Mathilde as she did not subscribe the 1018 charter.  m (before 999) GUY [I] Comte de Mâcon, son of OTHON [I] Guillaume Comte de Mâcon & his first wife Ermengarde de Roucy ([982]-[1004], bur Saint-Bénigne).] 

2.             ROBERT .  "Rodbertus vicecomes Cabilonensis frater domni Lamberti comitis" donated property to the abbey of Paray-le-Moniale by an undated charter[484].  Vicomte de Chalon.  m ELISABETH, daughter of ---.  "Robertus vicecomes Cabilonis civitate" donated property to Saint-Marcel-lès-Chalon by charter dated to [994/99], subscribed by "Hugonis comitis…ipsius Roberti uxoris eius Helisabeth"[485]

3.             RAOUL (-13 Nov ----)  Vicomte de Dijon.  The Chronicle of Saint-Bénigne de Dijon records the installation of "Rudolph Albus…antequam…vicecomes Divionensis" as prior of Bèze and his death "Id Nov"[486]

 

 

 

B.      COMTES de CHALON, family of SEIGNEURS de SEMUR

 

 

THIBAUT de Semur, son of GEOFFROY [I] Seigneur de Semur & his second wife Mathilde de Chalon dame de Donzy (-Tolosa [1065])"Gausfredus et uxor mea Mahaldis et filii mei Gausfredus, Herveus, Oddo, Tethbaldus, Lanbertus" donated property to Cluny by charter dated to [1015][487].  His parentage is also deduced from the charter of "Gaufredus" dated [1054] which names "Tetbaldus comes avunculus ipsorum" (referring to Geoffroy and Dalmas, sons of Dalmas)[488].  "Domnus Hugo comes Cabilonensium" donated property "in pago Augustudunensi in villa Martiniacensi" to Paray-le-Monial by undated charter subscribed by "Ottonis nepotis eius, Teudbaldi nepotis eius, Maltidis sororis eius"[489].  "Tedbaldi comitis nepotis eius" witnessed a charter dated 1035 immediately after "domni Hugonis comitis"[490].  He succeeded his maternal uncle in 1039 as Comte de Chalon

m ERMENTRUDE, daughter of ---.  "Ermentrudis eius coniugis" subscribed the charter of "Tetbaldus comes Cabilonensis" dated [1050][491].  Her origin is not known. 

Comte Thibaut & his wife had three children: 

1.             HUGUES de Chalon (-in Spain [Nov/early Dec] 1079).  "Hugo Cabillonensis comes" made a concession to Cluny for the soul of "Tetbaldi patris mei"[492].  He succeeded his father in [1065] as Comte de Chalon.  He travelled to Spain in [1078/79] to fight the Moors, probably accompanying Hugues I Duke of Burgundy.  The relatively precise range of his estimated date of death is provided firstly by the charter referred to above which was witnessed by "Oddo dux", who succeeded as duke of Burgundy after the abdication of his brother Hugues (which is dated to [Oct/Nov] 1079), and secondly by his widow subscribing a document with her second husband dated 25 Dec 1079 at Dueñas[493]m (1065) as her first husband, CONSTANCE de Bourgogne, daughter of ROBERT I "le Vieux" Duke of Burgundy & his first wife Hélie de Semur ([1045]-[Jan/Feb] or [3 Apr/25 Oct] 1093, bur Sahagún, León, royal monastery of Santos Facundo y Primitivo).  The Chronicon Trenorciensi records that "Constantiæ…filia Roberti Ducis" married firstly "Hugonis Cabilonensis Comitis" and secondly "Hispaniæ Rex Adefonsus"[494].  She married secondly (late 1079 or 8 May 1081) as his third wife, Alfonso VI King of Castile and León.  "Infanta donna Urraka Regis domni Adefonsi filia" names her mother "Constantie regina" in her donation to Cluny dated 22 Feb 1117 "Spanish Era"[495], although the date was presumably AD as 1117 Spanish Era was equivalent to 1079 AD.  An early 12th century document at Fleury records that "filiam Roberti ducis Bugundionem…Constantiam" married Alfonso VI King of Castile and was mother of a daughter who married "Raymundo comiti"[496].  The Chronicon Regum Legionensium names "Queen Constance" as the second of the "five legitimate wives" of King Alfonso[497].  Her second marriage date is estimated based on the likely estimated death date of her first husband in [Nov/early Dec] 1079 and her subscribing a document dated 25 Dec 1079 at Dueñas with her second husband[498].  Queen Constance was instrumental in having the Roman rite replace the Visigothic rite in the churches of Castile.  "Adefonsus…Hispaniarum rex…cum coniuge mea Constantia regina" donated property to the monastery of San Salvador de Oña by charter dated 1 May 1092[499].  The date of her death is fixed by her last known mention in a charter dated 25 Jul 1093 and a donation by King Alfonso to the monastery of Sahagún dated 25 Oct 1093, which does not include Queen Constanza's name in the subscription list[500]

2.             ADELAIS de Chalon (-1080 or after).  "Domna comitissa Adheleidis [Teudbaldi comitis filia" donated property to Paray-le-Monial with the consent of "domnus Wido de Tier filius eius, domnus Hugo Dalmatius, domnus Gaufredus Donzi" by undated charter[501]m GUILLAUME de Thiers, son of [GUILLAUME de Thiers & his wife ---] (-before 1080).  "Willelmus Tier" witnessed the donation to Cluny of "Ermengardis" (his sister-in-law) dated Nov 1083, apparently indicating that he was still alive at that date (assuming the date is correct)[502]

-        see below, Part C

3.             ERMENGARDE de Chalon .  "Ermengardis" made a donation to Cluny dated Nov 1083, naming "Teudbaldus comes Cabilonensis" (although not specifying that she was his daughter), witnessed by "Humbertus de Borbon…viri mei" and "Humbertum filium nostrum puerulum monachum ad serviendum Deo in ipso loco"[503].  This is supplemented by the undated charter which records that "post mortem eius [comes domus Tetbaldus] filius eius domnus Hugo" agreed with "domnun Unbertum" to give "sororem Hermengardam in conjugium", before stating that "prædicta Hermengardis sentiens sibi mortem vicinam" wished to donate property to the abbey of Paray-le-Moniale, naming "filium Unbertum puerulum" whom she "obtulit Deo", which "[viri sui] domnus Unbertus" later donated by an undated charter[504]Dame de Digoine.  m HUMBERT [I] Sire de Bourbon-Lancy, son of ---.

m ADELAIS de Chalon, daughter of THIBAUT Comte de Chalon & his wife Ermentrude --- (-1080 or after).  She is named with her son "W. of the Auvergne" in the 1080 charter which attests the election of a new bishop of Chalon, the charter commenting that there was then no "territorial prince" at Chalon[510]

c)             AREMBERT .  "Hugo" donated property "infra castrum Divionis" to Saint-Bénigne-de-Dijon by charter dated [11 Apr 881/10 Apr 882] subscribed by "Hugonis et Jotselini et Aremberti filiorum ipsius"[549]

 

 

MANASSES, son of --- .  The Chronicle of St Bénigne de Dijon records an undated charter of "Manasses comes" witnessed by "Walo filius eius et Manasses comes iunior"[550].  Although undated, it appears among other charters of the early years of the 10th century.  If this is the correct dating, it is unlikely that it refers to Manassès (died after 925) as his sons would at the time have probably been too young to have confirmed charters.  In addition, if the donation did refer to Manassès (died after 925) it is unclear why Walo and Manassès would have confirmed but not their brothers Hervé and Giselbert.  The conclusion is therefore that the donation relates to the father of Manassès, who has otherwise not been identified.  This interpretation appears supported by the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines which in 906 names "comes Manasses Divionensi", specifying that "Walo et alterius Manasses comes iunior" were his sons[551], although it is recognised that this source is not always chronologically and factually reliable.  Comte de Dijon

m ---.  The name of the wife of Manassès is not known. 

Manassès & his wife had three children: 

1.             WALO (-[after 918]).  Bishop of Autun.  "Walo…Eduorum episcopus" recovered "villam Tilionacum in comitatu Oscarensi super fluvium Sagonnam" from "fratris nostri Manasse" by charter dated 918[552]The Vita Sanctii Viventii Presbyteri names "Manasses…fratrisque sui Walonis Æduorum urbis Pontificis"[553]The Series abbatum Flaviniacensium records that "Richardus dux et Ingelbertus" installed "Vualonem, fratrem Manasserii comitis qui gener erat B fratris Richardi ducis" as abbot of Flavigny[554].  The Series abbatum Flaviniacensium records that Walo became "pontifices Eduenses" and his death in 913[555], although this date of death is inconsistent with the source cited above. 

2.             MANASSES (-925 or after)Comte de Dijon.  The Vita Sanctii Viventii Presbyteri records that "Manasses" built "monasterium in territorio Augustudunensi in loco montis Vergiaci castri" with the advice of "suæ uxoris Hermengardis fratrisque sui Walonis Æduorum urbis pontificis"[556].  The Chronicle of St Bénigne de Dijon records a donation dated 925 confirmed by "Manasse comite"[557]m ERMENGARDE, daughter of --- (-after Jun 924).  "Heriveus…Eduorum episcopus" donated property "villam Tilionacum" to the canons of St Nazaire by charter dated 31 Oct 920 which names "genitricis nostræ domnæ Hirmingardis comitissæ et fratrum nostrorum…[et] Walo presul et noster avunculus", signed by "Hirmingardis comitissa, Walonis filii eius, Gisleberti filii eius alterius, Manassæ filii eius"[558].  The Vita Sanctii Viventii Presbyteri names "Manasses…suæ uxoris Hermengardis"[559].  "Warulfus…virum nobilem…filio equivoco eius Warulfo" petitioned "Ermengardis comitisse…seu filii eius Gisleberti comitis" for some donated property of Saint-Marcel-lès-Chalon by charter dated Jun 924[560].  A possible origin of Ermengarde is suggested by one version of the Series abbatum Flaviniacensium, as reproduced only in a 17th century secondary source, which records that "Richardus dux et Ingelbertus" installed "Vualonem, fratrem Manasserii comitis qui gener erat B fratris Richardi ducis" as abbot of Flavigny[561].  If this is correct, she was Ermengarde, daughter of Boso King of Provence & [his second wife Ermengardis of Italy].  Manassès & his wife had [five] children: 

a)             WALO (-after 924).  "Hirmingardis comitissa…Walonis filii eius, Gilleberti filii eius alterius" subscribed the testament of "Heriveus…Æduorum episcopus" dated 1 Nov 919 which names "genitricis nostræ domnæ Hirmingardis venerabilis comitissæ et fratrum nostrorum…domnus Walo pius Præsul et noster avunculus"[562].  Flodoard records that in 924 "Raginardus" captured "castellum…Mons sancti Iohannis" supported by "nepotum suorum, Walonis et Gisleberti", but that "Rodulfi rex" recaptured the castle later in the same year[563]

b)             HERVE (-after 31 Oct 920).  Bishop of Autun.  The testament of "Heriveus…Æduorum episcopus" dated 1 Nov 919 names "genitricis nostræ domnæ Hirmingardis venerabilis comitissæ et fratrum nostrorum…domnus Walo pius Præsul et noster avunculus", subscribed by "Hirmingardis comitissa…Walonis filii eius, Gilleberti filii eius alterius"[564].  "Heriveus…Eduorum episcopus" donated property "villam Tilionacum" to the canons of St Nazaire by charter dated 31 Oct 920 which names "genitricis nostræ domnæ Hirmingardis comitissæ et fratrum nostrorum…[et] Walo presul et noster avunculus", signed by "Hirmingardis comitissa, Walonis filii eius, Gisleberti filii eius alterius, Manassæ filii eius"[565]

c)             GISELBERT (-Paris after Easter 956).  The parentage of Giselbert is proved by a combination of documents.  "Hirmingardis comitissa…Walonis filii eius, Gilleberti filii eius alterius" subscribed the testament of "Heriveus…Æduorum episcopus" dated 1 Nov 919, which names "genitricis nostræ domnæ Hirmingardis venerabilis comitissæ et fratrum nostrorum…domnus Walo pius Præsul et noster avunculus"[566].  Flodoard records that in 924 "Raginardus" captured "castellum…Mons sancti Iohannis" supported by "nepotum suorum, Walonis et Gisleberti", but that "Rodulfi rex" recaptured the castle later in the same year[567].  The Vita Sanctii Viventii Presbyteri names "Manasses…filius Gislebertus eiusdem Burgundiæ Dux"[568]Comte d'Autun.  He became GISELBERT Duke of Burgundy, after his brothers-in-law Raoul and Hugues "le Noir" ceded him their rights to Burgundy in [936].

Chapter 13.  COMTES de LANGRES (SEIGNEURS de SAULX)

 

 

GUY [I], son of ---.  Comte de Saulx.  He is named with the Duke of Burgundy in 1053[655].   A charter dated 1057 records that "domno Guidone comite de castro Salicum" quarrelled with Saint-Bénigne de Dijon[656]

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

Guy [I] & his wife had [one possible child]: 

1.             [GUY [II] de Saulx (-after [1110]).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  Comte de Saulx.  He made gifts to the monastery of Conques in 1086[657].  "Guido comes de Sals" and "Wido de Sals" witnessed two charters at Cîteaux dated [1100] and [1110][658].  He established secular canons in the church of Saulx in the 1120s[659]m LETGARDIS, daughter of ---.  She is named as confirmant of her husband's 1086 gifts to Conques657.  "Ligiardis comitissa" named "mariti mei domni Widonis comitis de Saleio" and "filio meo Eblone" in a charter dated 1110 relating to a donation to the abbey of Conques[660].  Bouchard suggests that she was the daughter of Godefroi [IV] de Rumigny & his wife Hedwige de Roucy[661], citing the Genealogiæ Fusniacenses.  However, the latter refers to the three daughters of "Condefrido de Ruminiaco" & his wife Hedwige, specifying that one (unnamed, mentioned third) married "domino de Granci" by whom she had "Ebalum eiusdem loci dominum"[662].  The chart in Europäische Stammtafeln[663] which sets out the family of Grancey shows no connection with the family of the Comtes de Saulx, the confusion no doubt arising from both parents having a son named Ebles.]  Guy [II] & his wife had two children: 

a)             EBLES de Saulx (-1135 or after).  "Ligiardis comitissa" named "mariti mei domni Widonis comitis de Saleio" and "filio meo Eblone" in a charter dated 1110 relating to a donation to the abbey of Conques[664].  He confirmed his father's 1086 gifts to Couches657.  He succeeded his father as Comte de Saulx.  1110/1135.  m REGINA ---.  The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified.  1126/35.  Ebles & his wife had five children:

Chapter 14.  COMTES et VICOMTES de MÂCON

 

 

Guillaume "le Pieux" Duke of Aquitaine was also known as Comte de Mâcon, a title which he presumably held in his capacity as Comte d'Auvergne.  He appointed Raculf as Vicomte de Mâcon, who witnessed a charter as such in 893[693], and whose daughter married Aubry de Narbonne who became Comte de Mâcon.  Mâcon remained under the jurisdiction of the comtes d'Auvergne, as shown by a charter of "Girbaldus", "residente quondam domno Wilelmo iuniore, comite, Matiscone", dated May 926[694], indicating Guillaume II Duke of Aquitaine who was also Comte d'Auvergne. 

 

 

 

A.      COMTES de MÂCON

 

 

AUBRY [Alberic] de Narbonne, son of MAYEUL Vicomte de Narbonne & his wife --- (-[10 Sep] 945, bur Besançon Saint-Etienne)"Maiolo vicecomite et uxore suæ Raymundæ" are named as parents of "Walchario et necnon et fratri suo Alberico vicecomite" in a charter dated 911 of the archbishop of Narbonne[695].  A genealogy of the Comtes de Mâcon, included in the cartulary of Saint-Vincent de Mâcon, names "Albericus Narbonensis" and refers to his marriage to "filiam Raculfi vicecomitis post mortem domini Bernonis Matiscensis episcopi", stating that he subsequently installed himself as first Comte de Mâcon[696]Comte de Mâcon, Sire de Bracon et de Salins.  "Berno episcopus" donated property to "Albericus comes" by charter dated "die Martis Kal Jan anno VIII regnante Rodulfo rege" [930] subscribed by "comes Letaldus, uxor eius Berta"[697], although, as noted below, the reference to Letaud's wife Berta suggests that this charter is misdated.  "Albericus comes" donated property to Saint-Vincent de Mâcon by charter dated [936/41] subscribed by "Letaudi, Ermentrudis coniugis sue"[698].  The necrology of Mâcon Cathedral records the death "IV Id Sep" of "Albericus comes"[699], although this entry could alternatively refer to Count Aubry [II] (see below). 

m TOLANA de Mâcon, daughter of RACULF Vicomte de Mâcon & his wife ---.  The genealogy of the Comtes de Mâcon, included in the cartulary of Saint-Vincent de Mâcon, names "Albericus Narbonensis" and refers to his marriage to "filiam Raculfi vicecomitis post mortem domini Bernonis Matiscensis episcopi"[700].  "Tolosane" is named as wife of Alberic in a charter of her son Letaud dated [12 Apr] 935 and "Etolane" mother of Letaud in the latter's charter dated 8 May [955][701].  942.  "Letaudus comes et uxor mea Berta" donated property to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon for the souls of "patris mei Alberici…et matris mee Tolane…Irmengardis quondam uxoris sue" by charter dated to [941] subscribed by "Alberici filii sui"[702]

Comte Aubry & his wife had three children: 

1.             LETAUD [Leotold] de Mâcon (915-3 Nov 961).  The genealogy of the Comtes de Mâcon, included in the cartulary of Saint-Vincent de Mâcon, names "Letaudus filius eius [Alberici Narbonensis]"[703].  He succeeded his father as Comte de Mâcon

-        see below

2.             HUMBERT de Mâcon (-before 958).  "Leutaldus atque et Umbertus filii…Alberici [comitis]" are named in an undated charter of Saint-Vincent de Mâcon[704].  "Albericus comes…filii mei Letboldus et Umbertus" donated property to Saint-Vincent de Mâcon by charter dated [930][705].  "Unberti fratris eius" consented to the donation of Letald Comte de Mâcon dated Feb 944[706].  Sire de Salins. 

-        SIRES de SALINS

3.             ADELA [Tolana] de Mâcon (-after Jun 944).  "Attale" is named as sister of "Letaudus comes" in the latter's donation to Cluny dated Jun 944[707]

 

 

LETAUD [Leotold] de Mâcon, son of AUBRY [I] Comte de Mâcon & his wife Tolana de Mâcon (915-3 Nov 961).  The genealogy of the Comtes de Mâcon, included in the cartulary of Saint-Vincent de Mâcon, names "Letaudus filius eius [Alberici Narbonensis]"[708].  "Albericus comes…filii mei Letboldus et Umbertus" donated property to Saint-Vincent de Mâcon by charter dated [930][709].  "Letaudus comes", his wife and their parents are named in his donation to Cluny dated [12 Apr] 935[710].  He succeeded his father as Comte de Mâcon.  He is last named in a charter dated 961, but had presumably died before his son's donation dated Jan 962 which the latter made for the soul of his parents[711].  The necrology of Mâcon Cathedral records the death "III Non Nov" of "Letaudus comes"[712]

m firstly ([930/935]) ERMENGARDE, daughter of Comte MANASSES & his wife Ermengarde --- (-before [941]).   "Albericus comes" donated property to Saint-Vincent de Mâcon by charter dated to [936/41] subscribed by "Letaudi, Ermentrudis coniugis sue"[713].  She is named as wife of Letaud in the latter's charter dated [12 Apr] 935, which also names both his and her parents[714].  It is possible that she was Ermengarde, daughter of Manassès Comte de Dijon & his wife Ermengarde, who are the only contemporary noble couple with these names which has so far been identified in the region.  "Letaudus comes et uxor mea Berta" donated property to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon for the souls of "patris mei Alberici…et matris mee Tolane…Irmengardis quondam uxoris sue" by charter dated to [941] subscribed by "Alberici filii sui"[715].  "Ermengardis dilettæ condam uxoris" is named in a donation made by her husband for her soul dated Feb 944[716]

m secondly ([941]) BERTA, daughter of ---.  Berta is named as wife of "Letaudus comes" in the latter's charters to Cluny dated Mar 943, Mar 944, and Mar 946[717].  The sources are contradictory when it comes to estimating the date of their marriage.  "Berno episcopus" donated property to "Albericus comes" by charter dated "die Martis Kal Jan anno VIII regnante Rodulfo rege" [930], subscribed by "comes Letaldus, uxor eius Berta"[718].  However, the source referred to above dated [12 Apr] 935 names Ermengarde as the wife of Letaud at that date.  The most likely explanation is that the former charter is incorrectly dated, especially in view of the Mâcon charter of Letaud's father which is dated [930] (see above) and which names his two sons without naming their wives.  "Letaudus comes et uxor mea Berta" donated property to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon for the souls of "patris mei Alberici…et matris mee Tolane…Irmengardis quondam uxoris sue" by charter dated to [941] subscribed by "Alberici filii sui"[719].  "Berte comitisse" witnessed a charter of Manassès Archbishop of Arles dated Sep 948[720].  Szabolcs de Vajay suggests[721] that Berta was the daughter of Garnier [Warnarius] Vicomte de Troyes & his wife Tetberga d'Arles, but this seems difficult to sustain chronologically.  "Lettaldus comes et uxor mea Berta" donated property to Saint-Vincent de Mâcon by charter subscribed by "Alberici filii sui"[722].  This charter is dated to [960] in the compilation, but this must be incorrect considering the earlier references to the third wife of Letaud. 

m thirdly (949 or before) RICHILDE, daughter of ---.  "Richildis" witnessed the donation of "Leotbaldum comitis" to Cluny dated 948[723].  "Richelde" is named as wife of Letaud in the latter's donations to Cluny dated 949 and [955][724]

Letaud & his first wife had one child: 

1.             AUBRY [Alberic] [II] de Mâcon ([935/40]-[10 Sep], after 17 Nov [before 981/82]).  The genealogy of the Comtes de Mâcon, included in the cartulary of Saint-Vincent de Mâcon, names "Albericus filius Letaudi comitis"[725].  "Letaudus comes et uxor mea Berta" donated property to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon for the souls of "patris mei Alberici…et matris mee Tolane…Irmengardis quondam uxoris sue" by charter dated to [941] subscribed by "Alberici filii sui"[726].  "Albericus" is named as son of Letaud in the latter's donations to Cluny dated 948 and [955][727].  "Albericus Matisconensis comes" names "Letaudi patris mei…[et] Ermengardis matris mee" in his donation of "ecclesiæ sancti Germani Ipgiacensis" to Cluny by charter dated Jan 962.  He succeeded his father as Comte de Mâcon.  The necrology of Mâcon Cathedral records the death "IV Id Sep" of "Albericus comes"[728], although this entry could alternatively refer to Count Aubry I (see above).  m ([Mar 966/14 Jan 971]) as her first husband, ERMENTRUDE, daughter of [RAGENOLD Comte de Roucy] & his wife Alberade of Lotharingia ([947/52]-[5 Oct 1002/1004]).  "Ermentrudis conjuge sua" consented to the donation of land "in Aponiaco villa" by "Albericus comes Matisconensis" to Cluny by charter dated 14 Jan 971[729].  Her marriage date is indicated by her absence from the charter of "Albericus comes Matisconensis" dated Mar 966[730].  "Ermentrudis" is named as daughter of "Alberada filia …Gerbergæ" in the Continuator of Flodoard, which does not name either her father or her husband but specifies that Ermentrudis was the mother of Agnes (Ctss de Poitou)[731], who names both her parents in charters[732].  Bouchard highlights the absence of proof that the husband of Alberade of Lotharingia was Ragenold Comte de Roucy[733].  The genealogy of the Comtes de Mâcon, included in the cartulary of Saint-Vincent de Mâcon, records the marriage of "dominus Guillelmus comes" with the wife of "Albericus filius Letaudi comitis"[734].  Rodulfus Glaber states that "Willemus, Henrici ducis priuignus, Adalberti Longobardorum ducis filius" married the sister of "Brunone Lingonensi episcopo"[735].  She married secondly (before [981/82]) as his first wife, Othon Guillaume [di Ivrea], who succeeded as Comte de Mâcon in right of his wife.  Comte Aubry [II] & his wife had three children: 

a)             LETAUD de Mâcon .  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  "Letaudi" subscribed the charter of "Albericus comes Matisconensis" dated 14 Jan 971 but the relationship between the two is not specified[736].  [Archbishop of Besançon 993/94]. 

b)             AUBRY de Mâcon .  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  Abbé de Saint-Paul at Besançon after 991. 

c)             BEATRIX de Mâcon .  A genealogy presented by Foulques IV "le Réchin" Comte d'Anjou to the bishop of Angers in [1085], justifying the annulment of his fourth marriage with the daughter of Gauthier Comte de Brienne, lists "ex Letaldo, Albericus natus est, ex Alberico, Beatrix, ex Beatrice, Gosfredus de Castello Landonensi, ex Gaufrido, Gaufridus et Fulco presens"[737].  Her second marriage is proved by the charter of her son dated 26 May 1028 which was approved by his brothers "fils de Hugues du Perche…Geoffroi et Liétaud"[738]m firstly GEOFFROY [I] Comte de Gâtinais, son of --- (-after Nov 991).  m secondly ([1000]) HUGUES du Perche, son of [FOUCOIS Comte de Mortagne & his wife Melisende Vicomtesse de Châteaudun].  Comte de Gâtinais. 

 

 

 

B.      COMTES de MÂCON (IVREA)

 

 

GUGLIELMO di Ivrea, son of ADALBERTO II associate-King of Italy & his wife Gerberge [de Chalon] ([960/62]-Dijon 21 Sep 1026, bur Dijon, Abbaye de Saint-Bénigne).  Rodulfus Glaber names "Willemus, Henrici ducis priuignus, Adalberti Longobardorum ducis filius" and records that, as a boy, he was secretly stolen from the land of the Lombards and restored to his mother "with no small cunning by a certain monk"[739].  "Einricus…imperator" confirmed the property of the abbey of Fruttuaria, referring to property donated by "Otto qui et Vuillielmus comes filius Adalberti nepos Berengarii regis", by charter dated 1014[740].  It is assumed therefore that Guillaume was imprisoned as a child by Emperor Otto I in Italy after his father and paternal grandfather were deposed as kings of Italy.  The Chronicle of Saint-Bénigne, interpolated into the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines, names "Guilelmum Ottonem et eius matrem Gerbergam" when recording that he was adopted by his mother's second husband "dux Burgundie Henricus"[741].  He adopted the name OTHON-GUILLAUME.  He succeeded in [981] as Comte de Mâcon, by right of his first wife.  He was declared heir to the duchy of Burgundy and installed as Comte de Nevers by his stepfather in 986.  He was recognised as duke of Burgundy on the death of his stepfather in 1002, but deprived of his inheritance by Robert II King of France in Spring 1003 when the latter invaded Burgundy with troops lent by Richard II Duke of Normandy.  Rodulfus Glaber records that "Willemus, Henrici ducis priuignus, Adalberti Longobardorum ducis filius" rebelled against the king [Robert II] on one occasion, supported by his son-in-law Landry Comte de Nevers[742].  "Comes Otto" donated property to Saint-Bénigne-de-Dijon for the souls of "Heinrici ducis qui eum loco filii adoptavit et genetricis sue Gerberge uxoris predicti ducis ac filii sui Widonis et Hermintrudis coniugis" by charter dated 1004[743].  Comte Othon continued to claim the duchy of Burgundy, but reconciled himself with the king of France in 1005, finally renouncing his claims in 1015.  He was designated comes Burgundiæ[744], presumably a descriptive title with no precise territorial significance at that time although Othon did own extensive territories in Burgundy.  The Chronicle of St Bénigne de Dijon records the death in 1027 of "Otto qui et Willelmus dictus est comes" and his burial at St Bénigne[745].  The memorial on the tomb of "Nobiliter natus Guillelmus et Otho vocatus" records his death "1027 XI Kal Oct"[746]

m firstly (before [981/82]) as her second husband, ERMENTRUDE, widow of AUBRY [II] Comte de Mâcon, daughter of RAGENOLD Comte de Roucy & his wife Alberade of Lotharingia ([950/55][747]-[5 Oct 1002/1004]).  "Ermentrudis" is named as daughter of "Alberada filia …Gerbergæ" in the Continuator of Flodoard, which does not name either her father or her husband but specifies that Ermentrudis was the mother of Agnes[748], the latter naming both her parents in charters (see below).  "Ermentrudis" is named as daughter of "Alberada filia …Gerbergæ" in the Continuator of Flodoard, which does not name either her father or her husband but specifies that Ermentrudis was the mother of Agnes (Ctss de Poitou)[749], who names both her parents in charters[750].  Bouchard highlights the absence of proof that the husband of Alberade of Lotharingia was Ragenold Comte de Roucy[751].  "Ermentrudis conjuge sua" consented to the donation of land "in Aponiaco villa" by "Albericus comes Matisconensis" to Cluny by charter dated 14 Jan 971[752].  The genealogy of the Comtes de Mâcon, included in the cartulary of Saint-Vincent de Mâcon, records the marriage of "dominus Guillelmus comes" with the wife of "Albericus filius Letaudi comitis"[753].  Rodulfus Glaber states that "Willemus, Henrici ducis priuignus, Adalberti Longobardorum ducis filius" married the sister of "Brunone Lingonensi episcopo" who supported him in his rebellion against the king [Robert II][754].  "Otto comes, Irvis comitissa" subscribed a charter dated to [994] under which "Milo…uxoris mee Ermengarde" donated property to Cluny[755].  It is assumed that "Irvis" is a copyist error for "Ermentrudis" as no other reference to a countess of this name has been found.  Her date of death is indicated by the Chronicle of St Bénigne de Dijon which records a donation by "Otto comes cognomento Willelmus" with "filii eius Rainaldi" dated 1004 "pro anima Hinrici Ducis, qui eum loco filii adoptavit et genitricis sue Gerberge uxoris predicti Ducis, ac filii sui Widonis et Hermintrudis coniugis"[756].  This is presumably the donation recorded in the charter dated 1004 under which "Comes Otto" donated property to Saint-Bénigne-de-Dijon for the souls of "Heinrici ducis qui eum loco filii adoptavit et genetricis sue Gerberge uxoris predicti ducis ac filii sui Widonis et Hermintrudis coniugis"[757]

m secondly (before 1016) ADELAIS [Blanche], daughter of --- (-29 May 1026, bur Montmajour, near Arles).  "Otto comes et uxor mea Adila" donated property to Saint-Vincent de Mâcon by two charters dated to 1015 or before (during the reign of Robert I King of France) both subscribed by "Rainaldi filii sui"[758].  "Otto comes et uxor mea Adeleidis et filius meus Rainaldus atque Otto nepos meus" donated property to Cluny by charter dated to [1015][759].  "Otto comes qui nominatur Willelmus" issued a charter dated 2 Nov 1023 subscribed by "Raynardi comitis, Adheleydis uxoris eius"[760].  The origin of Otto-Guillaume's second wife is not known with certainty.  Most genealogies assume that she was ADELAIS [Blanche] d'Anjou, widow firstly of ETIENNE de Brioude, widow secondly of RAYMOND Comte de Toulouse, divorced wife thirdly of LOUIS V King of the Franks, widow fourthly of GUILLAUME II "le Libérateur" Comte d'Arles Marquis de Provence, daughter of FOULQUES II "le Bon" Comte d’Anjou & his first wife Gerberge ---.  This origin is deduced from Pope Benedict VIII referrring to "Adelaide-Blanche countess" when addressing her husband as well as her ward countess Gerberge[761], the latter presumably being Count Otto's daughter by his first wife who was the widow of Adelaide-Blanche's son by her fourth husband and who is also named in the charter dated 1018 which is cited below.  The assumption is that there is no other contemporary "Adelaide-Blanche" to whom this document could refer, but this is not without doubt.  If Adelais's fifth marriage is correct, she would have been considerably older than Otto-Guillaume, and probably nearly sixty years old when she married (Otto-Guillaume's first wife died in [1002/04]), which seems unlikely.  "Adalax comitissa mater Villelmi quondam Provintie comitis et Geriberga eque comitissa…eiusdem principis olim uxor" donated property to Saint-Victor de Marseille for the soul of their late son and husband respectively by charter dated 1018[762], the document making no mention of her supposed fifth husband.  The necrology of Saint-Pierre de Mâcon records the death "IV Kal Jun" of "Adalasia comitissa vocata regali progenie orta"[763]

Comte Othon [I] & his first wife had five children:

1.             GUY de Mâcon ([982]-1004 or before, bur Dijon Saint-Bénigne).  The Chronicle of St Bénigne de Dijon records a donation by "Otto comes cognomento Willelmus" with "filii eius Rainaldi" dated 1004 "pro anima Hinrici Ducis, qui eum loco filii adoptavit et genitricis sue Gerberge uxoris predicti Ducis, ac filii sui Widonis et Hermintrudis coniugis"[764].  "Comes Otto" donated property to Saint-Bénigne-de-Dijon for the souls of "Heinrici ducis qui eum loco filii adoptavit et genetricis sue Gerberge uxoris predicti ducis ac filii sui Widonis et Hermintrudis coniugis" by charter dated 1004[765].  The Chronicle of St Bénigne de Dijon records that he was buried at St Bénigne many years before his father[766]m (before 999) --- .  The origin of the wife of Comte Guy is not known with certainty.  One possibility is that she was --- de Chalon, daughter of Lambert Comte de Chalon & his second wife Adelais ---.  This possible origin of the mother of Otto Comte de Mâcon is deduced from the undated charter under which "domnus Hugo comes Cabilonensium" donated property "in pago Augustudunensi in villa Martiniacensi" to Paray-le-Monial which is subscribed by "Ottonis nepotis eius, Teudbaldi nepotis eius, Maltidis sororis eius"[767].  The same relationship is stated in the charter dated 1018 under which "Vualterius Æduorum presul" donated property to the abbey of Flavigny subscribed by "Landricus comes, Otto comes nepos Hugonis episcopi, Tetbaldus comes nepos ipsius episcopi"[768], and in the charter dated 1020 under which "Wido clericus" donated property "in pago Cabillonense" to Cluny, subscribed by "Ugo comes et episcopus et nepos eius Otto comes…"[769].  One explanation is that "Otto comes" in these three charters was the same person as Otto-Guillaume Comte de Mâcon, and that he was nepos of Hugues Comte de Chalon because his mother Gerberge was Hugues's older half-sister.  However, as discussed in relation to the Comtes de Chalon, the theory about Gerberge's Chalon origin is far from certain.  Another possibility is therefore that the three charters refer to Otto II Comte de Mâcon, grandson of Otto-Guillaume, the identity of whose mother has been the subject of much academic speculation.  If this second possibility is correct, this unnamed daughter presumably died before her sister Mathilde as she did not subscribe the 1018 charter.  Other possibilities are discussed by Le Hête but the author does not refer to these charters[770].  Comte Guy & his wife had one child: 

a)             OTHON [II] de Mâcon ([1000]-[1033/41]).  The Chronicle of Saint-Bénigne, interpolated into the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines, names "Ottonem" as son of "Guido", when recording that Guido died before his father "Otto Guillelmus" and in a later passage records that "filius alterius filii eius Guidonis, alter comes Otto" succeeded his paternal grandfather in "terram ultra Sagonnam", dividing the territory with his paternal uncle "comes Rainaldus"[771].  He succeeded his father in [1004], and his grandfather in 1026, as Comte de Mâcon

-        see below

2.             MATHILDE de Mâcon (-13 Nov or 13 Dec 1005, bur Auxerre Saint-Etienne).  Rodulfus Glaber states that "Landrico Neuernis comite" was married to the oldest daughter of "Willemus, Henrici ducis priuignus, Adalberti Longobardorum ducis filius" & his wife, when recording that Comte Landry supported his father-in-law in the latter's rebellion against the king [Robert II][772].  She is named in the charter dated to [1028/40] under which "Rainaldus…comes" donated property "in pago Nevernense…Belmontis" to Cluny for the souls of "patris mei Landrici et matris mee Matildis…"[773].  Her father gave her Nevers, which she brought as dowry to her husband.  The necrology of Auxerre cathedral records the death 13 Dec of "Mathildis comitissa, Landrici coniux"[774]m ([989][775]) LANDRY [IV] de Monceau, son of BODO Seigneur de Monceaux-le-Comte & his wife --- (-11 May 1028).  He was invested in 990 as Comte de Nevers by his father-in-law as a reward for services.  Seneschal of France.  Comte d'Auxerre 1015. 

3.             GERBERGE de Mâcon ([985]-[1020/23]).  Rodulfus Glaber states that "Willemus…Arelatensis" married one of the daughters of "Willemus, Henrici ducis priuignus, Adalberti Longobardorum ducis filius" & his wife but does not name her[776].  She is named in several charters of Saint-Victor de Marseille.  "Wilelmus comes Provincie coniugisque mea Girberga cum filio nostro Wilelmo" donated property to Saint-Victor de Marseille by charter dated 1013[777].  "Adalax comitissa mater Villelmi quondam Provintie comitis et Geriberga eque comitissa…eiusdem principis olim uxor" donated property to Saint-Victor de Marseille for the soul of their late son and husband respectively by charter dated 1018[778].  "Geriberga comitissa" donated property to Saint-Victor de Marseille for the soul of "senioris mei Guilelmi comitis Provincie" and for "filiorumque nostrorum…Wilelmo, Fulcho, Jozfredus" by charter dated 1019[779]m ([1002]) GUILLAUME III Comte de Provence, son of GUILLAUME II Comte de Provence et d'Arles & his wife Adélaïde [Blanche] d'Anjou (-1018 before 30 May).  

4.             RENAUD de Mâcon ([990]-3/4 Sep 1057, bur Besançon).  The Chronicle of St Bénigne de Dijon records a donation by "Otto comes cognomento Willelmus" with "filii eius Rainaldi" dated 1004 "pro anima Hinrici Ducis, qui eum loco filii adoptavit et genitricis sue Gerberge uxoris predicti Ducis, ac filii sui Widonis et Hermintrudis coniugis"[780].  The Chronicle of Saint-Bénigne, interpolated into the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines, records that "filius eius [=comes Otto Guilelmus] comes Rainaldus" succeeded his father in "terram ultra Sagonnam" dividing the territory with his nephew "filius alterius filii eius Guidonis, alter comes Otto"[781].  He succeeded his father in 1026 as Comte Palatin de Bourgogne

-        COMTES PALATINS de BOURGOGNE

5.             AGNES de Mâcon ([990/95]-Saintes 10 Nov 1068, bur Poitiers, Priory of Saint-Nicolas).  Agnes is named as daughter of "Ermentrudis" in the Continuator of Flodoard, which specifies that she was mother of "Wido"[782].  Her birth date range is estimated on the basis of the estimated birth date range of her mother.  Rodulfus Glaber states that "Willemus…Pictauensis" married one of the daughters of "Willemus, Henrici ducis priuignus, Adalberti Longobardorum ducis filius" & his wife[783].  "Agnes comitissa filia Ottonis cognomento Willelmi comitis Matiscensis, uxor…Wilelmi ducis Aquitanorum" donated property to Cluny by charter dated [1020][784].  The Chronico Sancti Michaelis records that "Gaufredus Martellus Andegavensis comes" married "Agnetem comitissam Pictavensem" incestuously in 1032[785].  The Chronicæ Sancti Albini records the marriage "1032 Kal Jan" of "Gaufridus comes, Agnetem comitissam incesto", indirectly indicating her origin in a later passage which records the marriage "1043 XII Nov" of "Hainricus imperator [et] filiam Agnetis comitissæ"[786].  Her origin is clarified by the Chronicæ Sancti Albini which records the marriage "1043 XII Kal Nov…apud Vesbrianim" of "Henricus imperator…filiam Willelmi comitis Pictavorum et Agnetis"[787].  Geoffroy Comte d'Anjou & his wife founded the abbey of La Trinité de Vendôme by charter dated 31 May 1040, signed by "Goffridi comitis Andegavorum, Agnetis conjugis suæ…"[788].  A powerful personality, she succeeded in defeating her stepson Duke Eudes and installing her own son as Duke of Aquitaine, Comte de Poitou.  Regent of Aquitaine for her son 1039-1044.  She arranged her daughter's marriage with Emperor Heinrich III in 1043 and lived at the imperial court after this time.  "Goffredus…comes atque Agnes…uxor" donated property to the monks of La Trinité, Vendôme by charter dated 6 Jan 1049 subscribed by "Willelmi ducis Aquitanorum, Goffredi pueri fratris illius"[789].  "Gaufredus Andegavorum comes…uxor mea Agnes" made a donation to the priory of Saint-Nicholas de Poitiers by undated charter which also names "eius [Agnetis] filii comites…Pictavenses"[790].  A charter dated to [1060/67] recites a prior donation to Saint-Aubin d'Angers by "Hildegardis comitissa", who retained a life interest in the property which, after the death of the donor, was sold in turn to "Agneti comitissa" (recording her divorce from "comitum Gaufridum"), "comitem Gaufridum…Gaufridi nepotem" and finally "fratre eius Fulconi" who restored it to the abbey[791].  After her separation from her second husband, in 1047 she founded the abbey of Notre-Dame de Saintes, where she became a nun in 1068[792].  "Agnes" founded the abbey of Saint-Nicolas at Poitou with the consent of "ambobus filiis Guillelmi et Gauffrido" by charter dated [1050][793].  "Aquitanorum…dux Gaufridus" confirms in his charter dated [1058/68] that "mea mater Agnes…frater meus Guillelmus" were both buried in the priory of Saint-Nicolas de Poitiers[794].  The necrology of Vendôme La Trinité records the death "IV Id Nov" of "Agnes comitissa"[795]m firstly (1019) as his third wife, GUILLAUME III "le Grand" Comte de Poitou, GUILLAUME V Duke of Aquitaine, son of GUILLAUME IV "Fier-à-Bras" Duke of Aquitaine [GUILLAUME II Comte de Poitou] & his wife Emma de Blois ([969]-Abbaye de Maillezais 31 Jan 1030).  m secondly (1 Jan 1032, divorced [1049/52]) as his first wife, GEOFFROY d'Anjou, son of FOULQUES III "Nerra" Comte d'Anjou & his second wife Hildegarde [de Metz] (14 Oct 1006-9 Sep 1067).  He succeeded his father in 1040 as GEOFFROY II "Martel" Comte d'Anjou

 

 

OTHON [II] de Mâcon, son of GUY [I] Comte [de Mâcon] & his wife --- de Chalon ([1000]-[1033/41]).  The Chronicle of Saint-Bénigne, interpolated into the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines, names "Ottonem" as son of "Guido", when recording that Guido died before his father "Otto Guillelmus" and in a later passage records that "filius alterius filii eius Guidonis, alter comes Otto" succeeded his paternal grandfather in "terram ultra Sagonnam", dividing the territory with his paternal uncle "comes Rainaldus"[796].  As discussed above, it is possible that Comte Othon was the "Ottonis" who is named in the undated charter under which "Domnus Hugo comes Cabilonensium" donated property "in pago Augustudunensi in villa Martiniacensi" to Paray-le-Monial which is subscribed by "Ottonis nepotis eius, Tedubaldi nepotis eius, Maltidis sororis eius"[797], and the "Otto" named in the charter dated 1018 under which "Vualterius Æduorum presul" donated property to the abbey of Flavigny subscribed by "Landricus comes, Otto comes nepos Hugonis episcopi, Tetbaldus comes nepos ipsius episcopi"[798].  He succeeded his father in [1004], and his grandfather in 1026, as Comte de Mâcon.  "Ottonis adolescens comes" subscribed a charter dated 1004 under which "Flotbertus et uxor mea Rotrudis" donated property "in pago Matisconense" to Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon[799], although "adolescens" appears to be an inappropriate word in light of Otto's likely birth date.  The Chronicle of St Bénigne de Dijon records a donation by "Higelbertus miles de villa Milleponto", who became a monk at St Bénigne before dying, signed by "Brunone episcopo, Willelmo Comite, Rainaldo Comite, ipsius filio, Ottone comite, filii eius Widonis filio" dated 1007[800].  "Otto comes et uxor mea Adeleidis et filius meus Rainaldus atque Otto nepos meus" donated property to Cluny by charter dated to [1015][801].  He received the county of Scodingue under an agreement with his paternal uncle Renaud which provided for the division of the territories of his paternal grandfather.  "Otto comes Matisconensis" donated property "in villa Cavaniaco Molendinumque super Graonnam" to Cluny by charter dated 1030, witnessed by "Gauzelini episcopi"[802].  "Oddo comes" confirmed a donation to Cluny by charter dated 11 Aug 1031 signed by "Gausfredi filius eius, Widonis filii Gausfredi comitis"[803].  "Otto comes Matisconensis" donated property "in villa Cavaniaco" to Cluny by charter dated 1049, which names "Gaufredus filius meus"[804], the date presumably being in error if the estimated death date of Count Otto is correct as shown above.  Comte Othon lost the use of his legs later in life[805]

m [firstly] (before 1016) ELISABETH de Vergy, sister of HUMBERT Bishop of Paris, [daughter of HENRI de Vergy & his wife ---] (-after 1023).  Her origin is deduced from the charter dated to [15 Feb 1023] under which "Humbertus archidiaconus…avunculus meus Beraldus archidiaconus" donated property to Cluny to establish the church at Vergy, signed by "Helisabeth soror eius comitissa…cum infantibus suis Gozfredo scilicet atque Rotberto, Gibaldus nepos eius"[806], on the basis that no other Ctss Elisabeth has been identified in Burgundy at this time and that the name of her son "Gozfredo" is confirmed in other documentation.  "Otto comes Maticensis" donated property to Cluny for the souls of "patris mei Guidonis, necnon avi mei Ottonis cognomento Wilelmi et uxoris mee et filii mei Gaufredi" by charter dated to [1017/25], subscribed by "Elisabeth uxoris eius"[807].  The editor of this compilation notes that Elisabeth was Otto's second wife, maybe because he distinguishes between his unnamed "uxoris mee" and the name of the subscriber or because his son is described as "filii mei" not "filii nostri"[808].  "Otto comes…et coniux mea Elisabeth" donated property to Saint-Vincent de Mâcon by charter dated to [1018/30] subscribed by "Ugonis vicecomitis, Willemi fratris eius"[809].  "Wigo vicecomes et uxor mea Eufemia" donated property to Saint-Vincent de Mâcon by charter dated to [1018/30] subscribed by "Elisabeth comitissa"[810].  "Otto comes apud Matisconem civitatem" donated property to Saint-Vincent de Mâcon by charter dated to [1018/30] subscribed by "Helisabeth uxoris eius"[811].  "Otto…comes coniuxque mea Helisabeth" donated property "in pago Linguonensi in comitatu Oscherensi in villa Fisciaco" to Cluny by charter dated 29 Jul [1030 or before], which refers to the donations being confirmed "post uxoris mee iam dicte Helisabeth discessum"[812], showing that Elisabeth predeceased her husband. 

[m secondly HELIE ---.  "Ottonis comitis, Ilie uxoris eius…" subscribed the charter dated to [1017/49] under which "Wido" donated property to Cluny[813].  It is not certain that this refers to a second wife of Comte Otto as "Ilie" could be a derivation of Elisabeth.  It is also not impossible that it is derived from "Adelais", the name of the second wife of Otto's grandfather, Otto-Guillaume Comte de Macon, who may have been the subscriber of this charter if it is dated to the earlier part of the suggested date range.] 

Comte Otto & his [first] wife had two children:  

1.             GEOFFROY de Mâcon (-17 Dec before 1065).  "Gausfredi filius eius" subscribed a charter of "Oddo comes" dated 11 Aug 1031[814].  He and his brother witnessed the charter under which their mother and maternal uncle founded a church in the castle of Vergy in 1023.  He succeeded in 1041 as Comte de Mâcon.  "Joffredus comes" donated serfs to Saint-Vincent de Mâcon by charter dated to [1033/65][815].  The necrology of Mâcon Cathedral records the death "XVI Kal Jan" of "Gaufridus comes"[816], although this entry could alternatively refer to Count Aubry I (see above).  m as her first husband, BEATRIX, [sister of GUY Capels], daughter of --- (-[1072]).  A Cluny charter dated [1080] records that "nobilis iuvenis…Wigo…cognomina Capels" returned from Rome gravely ill but, before he died, donated property to Cluny which was subsequently claimed by "comes…Matiscensis" who had married Guy's sister, and also states that "predicta comitissa, quam iam comes reliquerat ob certas causas" married secondly "miles…Witfredus"[817].  The charter is subscribed by "Umberto de Bellojoco…uxoris eius, domni Dalmatii fratris Huberti".  Geoffroy appears to be the only Comte de Mâcon to whom this charter can refer.  There is no reference to his father's wife having a brother named Guy, nor to her having been left by her husband.  His son Guy entered Cluny as a monk, which is unlikely to have been described in a Cluny charter in these terms.  Beatrix married secondly Wilfried, chevalier.  Comte Geoffroy & his wife had one child: 

a)             GUY [II] de Mâcon ([1040]-1109).  "Widonis filii Gausfredi comitis [filii Oddonis comitis]" subscribed a charter of "Oddo comes" dated 11 Aug 1031[818].  However, it is unlikely that Guy could have been born before [1040], given the estimated birth dates of his paternal grandfather and great-grandfather.  He succeeded his father [before 1065] as Comte de Mâcon.  He resigned in 1078 (after 19 Feb) to become a monk at the abbey of Cluny.  The date is identified from two charters, the first dated 19 Feb 1078 subscribed by "Wuidonis comitis Matiscensis", the second dated 1078 under which "Wido aliquando comes Matisconensis…in monasterio Cluniaco" conferred property on Cluny, presumably on entering the abbey[819].  He became the first prior of the Abbey of Souvigny, but requested his return to Cluny in [1095].  m (before 14 Nov 1066) MAIORIS, daughter of ---.  "Guido comes" donated property to Saint-Vincent de Mâcon by charter dated [1067] subscribed by "Maitris comitisse"[820].  "Guido comes" also supported a donation to Saint-Vincent de Mâcon by charter dated [1077] subscribed by "Maioris comitisse"[821].  Ctss Maioris became a nun at the convent of Marcigny when her husband retired to the abbey of Cluny.  [Note: According to Europäische Stammtafeln[822], the wife of Guy [II] Comte de Mâcon was Mayor García de Navarra, daughter of García VI "él de Nájera" King of Navarre & his wife Etiennette de Foix.  The source on which this is based is not known, although it is true that her name suggests a Spanish connection.  However, "Raimundus frater meus, Armesilda et dompna Maior germanas regis…" subscribed a charter dated 25 Feb 1070 under which "Sancius rex…cum uxore mee Placentie regine" donated property to the monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla[823], which appears to disprove the hypothesis as Comte Guy [II] and his wife were married before that date, as shown by the charter dated [1067] quoted above.  A similar charter of King Sancho, dated 20 Nov 1071, is also confirmed by "Regimundus frater meus, Eximina et Ermesilda et domna Maior germanas meas…"[824].  The close ties between Burgundy and Spain started during the reign of Fernando I King of Castile, who established an annual rent of 120 ounces of gold in favour of the abbey of Cluny some time after 1055[825].  It is therefore not impossible that the marriage of Comte Guy with a Spanish princess of a different origin was agreed to provide an early symbol of this cooperation.]  Comte Guy & his wife had [four] children: 

i)               GUY de Mâcon (-after 1078).  He entered the Abbey of Cluny as a monk at the same time as his father[826]

ii)             PONS de Mâcon (-after 1078).  He entered the Abbey of Cluny as a monk at the same time as his father[827]

iii)            at least two daughters.  They entered the convent of Marcigny as nuns at the same time as their mother. 

2.             ROBERT de Mâcon .  "Humbertus archidiaconus…avunculus meus Beraldus archidiaconus" donated property to Cluny by charter dated to [15 Feb 1023] which established the church of Vergy, signed by "Helisabeth soror eius comitissa…cum infantibus suis Gozfredo scilicet atque Rotberto, Gibaldus nepos eius"[828]

The first few generations of this family are shown in outline form only for convenience, full details being available in the document which sets out the Comtes Palatins de Bourgogne. 

 

 

RENAUD de Mâcon, son of OTHON GUILLAUME Comte de Mâcon [Bourgogne-Comté] & his first wife Ermentrude de Roucy ([990]-3/4 Sep 1057, bur Besançon).  Rodulfus Glaber names "Rainaldus" as one of the sons of "Willemus, Henrici ducis priuignus, Adalberti Longobardorum ducis filius" & his wife[829].  He succeeded his father in 1026 as RENAUD I Comte de Bourgogne, although at that time the "county of Burgundy" did not yet exist as such, the title being purely descriptive of the area in which Renaud exercised his power[830]

1.             GUILLAUME de Bourgogne (-12 Nov 1087, bur Besançon).  Guillaume de Jumièges names "Guillaume et Gui" as the two sons of "Renaud comte de Bourgogne" and Adelise[831].  He succeeded his father in 1057 as GUILLAUME I "le Grand" Comte Palatin de Bourgogne.   He succeeded in 1078 as Comte de Mâcon, when his cousin Guy [II] Comte de Mâcon entered holy orders. 

a)             RENAUD (-Palestine 1097 or Summer 1101).  "Rainaldus comes Matisconensis" made a donation to Cluny dated [1086] subscribed by "Willelmi patris mei"[832].  His father installed him in [1078] as Comte de Mâcon.  He succeeded his father in 1087 as RENAUD II Comte Palatin de Bourgogne

i)               GUILLAUME ([1085]-murdered after 3 Jan 1125).  His parentage is confirmed by his charter dated 12 Sep 1095 under which "Guillelmus comes filio Rainaldi" confirmed a donation by "mater mea Cuniza Cononis filia" to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire[833].  He succeeded his father in 1097 as GUILLAUME II "l'Allemand" Comte Palatin de Bourgogne, Comte de Mâcon

(a)          GUILLAUME ([1110]-murdered Payerne, Switzerland 1 Mar 1127).  A charter of Saint-Vincent-de-Mâcon dated to [1126/43] refers to "post mortem comitis Willelmi et Alemani patris alterius Willelmi"[834].  The Gesta Friderici of Otto of Freising names "Gwillehelmus…puer…ex parte patris consanguineus, Conradi vero ducis sororis filius"[835].  He succeeded his father in 1125 as GUILLAUME III "l'Enfant" Comte Palatin de Bourgogne, Comte de Mâcon

b)             ETIENNE [I] "Tête-Hardi" (-murdered Ascalon 27 May 1102).  He and his brothers Raimond and Hugues called themselves sons of the "most noble count William" in a late-11th century document[836].  He succeeded in [1087] as Comte de Mâcon, Seigneur de Varasque. 

i)               RENAUD de Mâcon (-22 Jan 1148 or 20 Jan 1149).  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Elizabeth sororem comitis Raynaldi de Burgundia" as wife of "Hugo comes Campanie"[837], but the primary source which confirms their parentage has not yet been identified.  He succeeded his father in 1102 as Comte de Mâcon, under the guardianship of his uncle Guy, who was then Archbishop of Vienne[838].  He succeeded his second cousin in 1127 as RENAUD III Comte Palatin de Bourgogne

-         COMTES de BOURGOGNE

ii)             GUILLAUME de Mâcon (-27 Sep 1155).  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "comes Renaldus [de Burgundia] fratrem comitem Guilelmum" when recording his marriage[839].  He succeeded in 1120 as Comte de Mâcon

GUILLAUME [III] de Mâcon, son of ETIENNE [I] "Tête-Hardi" Comte de Mâcon [Bourgogne-Comté] & his wife Beatrix of Lotharingia (before 1102-27 Sep 1155).  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "comes Renaldus [de Burgundia] fratrem comitem Guilelmum" when recording his marriage[840].  He succeeded in 1120 as Comte de Mâcon.  Comte d'Auxonne 1127.  He joined the Second Crusade 1147-1149.  Regent of Bourgogne-Comté for his niece, whom he attempted to deprive of her inheritance. 

m [as her second husband,] PONCE [Adélaïde] de Traves Dame de Traves, [widow of THIBAUT de Rougemont,] daughter of RENAUD de Traves Connétable de Bourgogne & his wife Alix --- (-15 Apr after 1156).  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Aleyde comitissa qui fuit unica heres de Treva, relicta Theobaldi de Rogemont" as wife of "comitem Guilelmum"[841].  Bouchard points out that Thibaut de Rougemont was still alive when Comte Guillaume is alleged to have married Ponce de Traves and suggests that the chronicle confused her with her mother[842].  "Willelmus Masticonensis comes et Burgundie" donated "abbatiam de Balma" to Cluny by charter dated 14 Jun 1147, confirmed by "Poncia comitissa uxore mea et filiis meis Stephano et Gerardo"[843]

Chapter 15.  SEIGNEURS de MONTAGU

 

 

ALEXANDRE de Bourgogne, son of HUGUES III Duke of Burgundy & his first wife Alix de Lorraine ([1172/78]-6 Sep 1205).  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Odonem et Alexandrum" as sons of "dux" by his first wife "Aaliz"[915].  "Hugo…dux Burgundiæ et Albonii comes" confirmed "[cum] assensu filiorum meorum Oddonis et Alexandri" the concession to Cluny by "consanguineæ meæ Matildi comitissæ Tornodori" by charter dated 1186[916]Seigneur de Montagu et de Chagny.  Seigneur de Gergy by right of his wife.  He renounced any rights over the Duchy of Lorraine in 1203.  The necrology of Maizières records the death "VIII Id Sep" of "domini Alexandri fratri ducis Burgundiæ"[917]

m ([1195]) as her first husband, BEATRIX de Rion Dame de Gergy, daughter of --- (-12 Jan after 1236).  The primary source which confirms her origin and her two marriages has not yet been identified.  A possible clue concerning the origin of Beatrix is provided by the Lignages d'Outremer which name "Girart le nevou de l'arcevesque Estorgue" as husband of "Eschive" daughter of "Gautier de Monbeliart" and his wife Bourgogne[918].  Another manuscript of the Lignages names "Aalis…niece dou maistre dou Temple, frere Pierre de Montagu, et de l'arcevesque Estorgue, et d'Engerant qui fu baron d'Eschive qui puis fu feme dou seignor de Baruth" as wife of "Johan" son of "Gautier…seignor de Cesaire et conestable de Chypre" & his wife[919].  As shown below, "Girart" in the first passage is possible identified as Gérard, son of Alexandre Seigneur de Montagu.  "Aalis" in the second text is supposedly the daughter of Gérard, although this may not be correct as explained below.  It is possible that the co-identity of Gérard de Montagu, husband of Eschiva de Montbéliard, and Gérard son of Alexandre Seigneur de Montagu is not correct.  However, it is right, it is possible that Pierre de Montagu and Estorgue Archbishop of Nicosia (from [1212] to 1239) were his mother's relations.  She married secondly (1206) Itier [III] Sire de Toucy.  The necrology of Maizières records the death "Id Jan" of "domine Beatrice matre domini Montis Acuti"[920]

Alexandre & his wife had seven children: 

1.             EUDES de Montagu ([1196]-[1243/47]).  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Odo, Alexandri filius, frater ducis Burgundie Odonis" when recording his marriage[921].  He succeeded his father in 1205 as Seigneur de Montagum (1220) as her second husband, ELISABETH de Courtenay, widow of GAUCHER du Puiset, daughter of PIERRE de Courtenay Emperor of Constantinople & his second wife Yolande de Flandre Marquise de Namur ([1199][922]-1269[923] or after).  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to the marriage of "quintam filiarum eius [Namucensis comitis Petri]" and "Galtherus de Barro super Sequanam comitis Milonis filius" and her second marriage to "Odo, Alexandri filius, frater ducis Burgundie Odonis"[924].  The primary source which names her has not yet been identified.

2.             daughter ([1197]-).  The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. 

3.             ALIX ([1198]-).  The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. 

4.             daughter ([1199]-).  The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. 

5.             ALEXANDRE ([1201]-23 Dec 1261, bur Notre-Dame de Maizières).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  Deacon at Besançon cathedral 1244.  Bishop of Chalon-sur-Saône 1244. 

6.             GERARD ([1203]-11 Oct ----).  The necrology of Maizières records the death "V Id Oct" of "domino Girardo filio Alexandri de MonteAcuto"[926]same person as…?  GERARD de Montagu (-killed in battle Cyprus [Jun] 1229).  He held land from his father-in-law in Cyprus, where he was killed during the early part of the civil war[927].  It has not been conclusively proved from the primary sources so far consulted that Gérard de Montagu, husband of Eschiva, was the same person as the son of Alexandre Seigneur de Montagu.  It is possible that they belonged to two completely different families of the name Montagu.  m as her first husband, ESCHIVA de Montfaucon, daughter of GAUTHIER de Montbéliard, bailli of Jerusalem, Regent of Cyprus & his wife Bourgogne of Cyprus ([1206/12]-after Apr 1239).  The Lignages d'Outremer name "Eschive" as the daughter of "Gautier de Monbeliart" and his wife "Borgoigne", stating that she was the wife of "mesire Belleem, le seignor de Baruth"[928].  Another rmanuscript of the Lignages d'Outremer names "Girart le nevou de l'arcevesque Estorgue" as husband of "Eschive" daughter of "Gautier de Monbeliart" and his wife Bourgogne[929].  William of Tyre (Continuator) names her, her father and (first) husband "Geraut de Mont Agu" when recording the death of the last-named[930].  She married secondly ([1229/30], declared void 1231, dispensation before 20 Apr 1239[931]) Balian Ibelin Lord of Beirut.  The Chronicle of Philippe de Novare names "dame Eschive de Monbeliart" as wife of "sire Balyan d'Ybelin, fis de monseignor de Baruth"[932].  The archbishop of Nicosia objected to her second marriage on grounds of consanguinity and excommunicated the couple.  He was, however, expelled from Cyprus and sought refuge at Acre, before the necessary dispensation was eventually granted[933].  Pope Gregory IX instructed the archbishop of Nicosia to excommunicate "nobilis vir B[alianus] filius domini Beritensis cum nobili muliere E[chiva] filia quondam nobilis viri G[ualterii] de Montebeliardo, nobilis viri G[erardi] de Monteacuto relicta" on grounds of their 3o and 4o consanguinity, by document dated 5 Mar 1231[934].  Gérard & his wife had [one possible child]: 

a)             [ALIX .  The Lignages d'Outremer name "Aalis…niece dou maistre dou Temple, frere Pierre de Montagu, et de l'arcevesque Estorgue, et d'Engerant qui fu baron d'Eschive qui puis fu feme dou seignor de Baruth" as wife of "Johan" son of "Gautier…seignor de Cesaire et conestable de Chypre" & his wife[935].  According to Europäische Stammtafeln[936], the wife of Jean of Caesarea was the daughter of Gérard de Montagu Seigneur de Gergy et de Sassenay [Bourgogne-Capet].  The primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified, but it is tight chronologically.  The birth date of Gérard's wife is fixed between [1206/12] by the dates of her parents' marriage and her father's death.  Even if she was born in the early part of this date range, and gave birth to her daughter by her first marriage when aged 15, it is unlikely that this daughter could have had five children before the death of her husband "before 1241".  In addition, if the text of the Lignages quoted above is correct, Alix was the niece of Eschiva's first husband (misnamed "Engerant") not his daughter.  m JEAN of Caesarea, son of GAUTHIER of Beirut Lord of Caesarea, Constable of Cyprus & his wife Marguerite Ibelin (-before 1241).] 

7.             daughter ([1205]-).  The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 16.  COMTES de NEVERS

 

 

The history of the early comtes de Nevers is summarised in the 12th century Origo brevis Nivernensium comitum, written by Hugues de Poitiers[937].  Landry Seigneur de Monceau was invested with the county of Nevers in 990 by his father-in-law, Othon [I] Guillaume Comte de Mâcon, as a reward for services (see Part A).  The county passed to his younger son Renaud, while his older son Bodo inherited the county of Vendôme through his wife.  The extent of Landry's importance in Burgundy is judged by the marriage he arranged for his son Renaud with the daughter of Robert II King of France.  Renaud's descendants in the male line continued to rule as counts of Nevers until the death of Comte Guillaume [V] in 1181, when the county was inherited by his sister.  She married, as his first wife, Pierre [II] Seigneur de Courtenay (whose career culminated in his election as Latin emperor of Constantinople).  The county of Nevers passed to their daughter Mathilde in 1193 (see Part B), and through a series of transmissions through the female line was inherited in turn by the families of the Seigneurs de Donzy, the Comtes de Saint-Pol (Seigneurs de Châtillon-sur-Marne), the Sires de Bourbon, the Counts of Flanders, and the Dukes of Burgundy.  Philippe IV King of France confiscated Nevers from Louis, son of Robert III Count of Flanders, in 1311.  Philippe II "le Hardi" Duke of Burgundy bequeathed the county of Nevers to his younger son Philippe in 1404 (see Part C).  His sons ruled Nevers until 1491, when it was inherited by the family of the Dukes of Kleve, whose descendants are outside the chronological scope of this document. 

 

 

 

A.      COMTES de NEVERS 990-1181

 

 

Settipani highlights, and further expands, the following family group in Poitou, suggesting possible connections with the families of Ramnulf Comte de Poitou and Audebert Vicomte de Limoges, in both of which the name "Adalgarius" is found, and with the family of the comtes de Nevers[938]

1.             ADALGER (-after Jan 880).  "Adalgarius et uxor mea Aiga" donated property "in pago Caturcino in vicaria Exidense in loco…Beionis" to Beaulieu for the souls of "fratrum meorum Landrici et Eldegarii" by charter dated Jan 880, subscribed by "Rodulfi…"[939]m AIGA, daughter of ---.  "Adalgarius et uxor mea Aiga" donated property "in pago Caturcino in vicaria Exidense in loco…Beionis" to Beaulieu for the souls of "fratrum meorum Landrici et Eldegarii" by charter dated Jan 880, subscribed by "Rodulfi…"[940].  Adalger & his wife had three children: 

a)             RAOUL (-after 1 Nov 882).  "Rodulfus filius quondam Adalgarii et Ayganæ [et] uxor mea Bertlindis" donated property "in pago Caturcino in villa Exidense et…Cuncellas" to Beaulieu for the souls of his parents and "fratrum meorum Landrici et Eldegarii" by charter dated 1 Nov 882[941]m BERTLINDIS, daughter of ---.  "Rodulfus filius quondam Adalgarii et Ayganæ [et] uxor mea Bertlindis" donated property "in pago Caturcino in villa Exidense et…Cuncellas" to Beaulieu for the souls of his parents and "fratrum meorum Landrici et Eldegarii" by charter dated 1 Nov 882[942]

b)             ADALGER .  "Rodulfus filius quondam Adalgarii et Ayganæ [et] uxor mea Bertlindis" donated property "in pago Caturcino in villa Exidense et…Cuncellas" to Beaulieu for the souls of his parents and "fratrum meorum Landrici et Eldegarii" by charter dated 1 Nov 882[943]

c)             LANDRY .  "Rodulfus filius quondam Adalgarii et Ayganæ [et] uxor mea Bertlindis" donated property "in pago Caturcino in villa Exidense et…Cuncellas" to Beaulieu for the souls of his parents and "fratrum meorum Landrici et Eldegarii" by charter dated 1 Nov 882[944]

 

 

1.             ADALGER [Hildegarius] (-893 or after).  Chaplain of Charles "le Chauve".  Bishop of Autun 875/93.  Abbé de Flavigny et de Corbigny 877.  Chancellor of King Boson [de Provence] 879.  Abbé de Brioude 888.  Chancellor of Eudes King of the Franks 892-893[945]

2.             [LANDRY [I] .  It is not known whether Landry was the brother of Bishop Adalger or whether his wife Hildesinde was the bishop's sister[946].  A supporter of Charles "le Chauve" who gave him the chapel of St Aubin in the Mâconnais in 842, which Landry and his wife gave to the cathedral of Mâcon shortly after[947], although the dating is unlikely to be correct if they were the parents of Landry [II].]  m (before 868) HILDESINDE, daughter of ---.  The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified.  Landry [I] & his wife had [one probable child]: 

a)             [LANDRY [II] (-922 or after).  The Historia Nivernensium Comitum names "Hildegarius episcopus Heduensis" and "nepotem…Landricum"[948].  He acquired the castle of Metz-le-Comte from the Duke of Burgundy in [880] after distinguishing himself during its siege[949].  "Landricus" made a donation by charter dated 11 Sep 910[950].  918/22.  m firstly ADA, daughter of ---.  "Ada coniuge Landricus" consented to the charter of "Landricus" dated 11 Sep 910950m secondly EMMA, daughter of ---.  "Landrici patris mei, Emme matris mei" are named in the charter of Adalgardis dated 950[951].  The Historia Nivernensium Comitum records that "Hildegarii nepoti Landrico" married "uxore stirpis Andegavorum"[952], although it is not known whether this was his first or second wife.]  Landry [II] & his [first/second] wife had two children: 

i)               LANDRY [III] (-after Nov 950).  "Landrici fratris mei" is named in the charter of Adalgardis dated 950[953].  He may have been one of the subscribers "Gisoni, Attoni, Landrici" to the charter dated Nov 950 under which "Bodo" donated property "in pago Matisconense in villa Lanco" acquired from "Rainaldo cognate meo" to Cluny[954], but this is not certain.  Seigneur de Metz-le-Comte. 

ii)             BODO (-after Nov 950).  The Historia Nivernensium Comitum names "Bodonem" as the son of "Hildegarii nepoti Landrico" and his wife "[ex] stirpis Andegavorum", specifying that "Bodo de Montibus" was his godfather and that Bodo built "castellum…Moncellis"[955].  Seigneur de Monceaux-le-Comte.  "Bodo" donated property "in pago Matisconense in villa Lanco" acquired from "Rainaldo cognate meo" to Cluny "pro receptione filii mei" by charter dated Nov 950, subscribed by "Gisoni, Attoni, Landrici"[956], although it is not certain that this is the same Bodo.  Although the identity of "Rainaldo cognate meo" has not been established, the name suggests a family connection with the Comte de Nevers.  Settipani suggests that he was related to the Comtes d'Anjou, through Bodo's mother[957]m ---.  The name of Bodo's wife is not known.  Bodo & his wife had [two] children: 

(a)          LANDRY [IV] (-11 May 1028).  The Historia Nivernensium Comitum names "Landricus filius Bodonis"[958].  He was invested in 990 as Comte de Nevers

-         see below

(b)          [son .  He became a monk at Cluny in Nov 950, assuming that "Bodo", who donated property "in pago Matisconense in villa Lanco" acquired from "Rainaldo cognate meo" to Cluny "pro receptione filii mei" by charter of that date[959], his father is the same as Bodo de Nevers.] 

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

iii)            ADALGARDIS [Adela] (-after 950).  She names her parents in her charter dated 950, which also names her brother, husband and three sons[960].  "…Adelæ comitissæ, Milonis comitis filii eius" subscribed the charter dated 8 Sep 975 under which "Adelelmus miles" donated property to Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire for the souls of "genitore meo Rotberto et genitrice mea Bertha et…Burcardo"[961].  Bouchard says it is possible to identify Adela, wife of Milo, with the daughter of Humbert I Sire de Salins who was the mother of Wandelmodis and grandmother of Engelbert Comte de Brienne[962], but this theory is disproved by the charter evidence referred to above.  m MILO [I], son of --- (-before 950). 

 

 

1.             ROBERT (-after 978).  Abbot of Flavigny.  The Series abbatum Flaviniacensium records that "Roberto" abbot of Flavigny was "propinquus Landrici comitis Nivernensis", stating that he was expelled from the abbey and transferred to Corbey[963].  The exact relationship has not been established.  The text suggests that he was abbot after the death of Gerard Bishop of Autun, which is there dated to 978. 

 

 

LANDRY [IV] de Monceau, son of BODO Seigneur de Monceaux-le-Comte & his wife --- (-château de Gourdon 11 May 1028).  He was invested in 990 as Comte de Nevers by his father-in-law as a reward for services[964].  The Annales Nivernenses record a battle in "991 Id Aug" between "Landricum comitem" and "Archimbaldum"[965].  Seneschal of France.  According to a contemporary satirical poem, Comte Landry helped maintain the second marriage of Robert II King of France to Berthe de Bourgogne[966].  "Landricus comes" donated property to the abbey of Flavigny by charter dated 28 Jul 1002 subscribed by "Bodo filius eius, Landricus filius eius…"[967].  He rebelled against King Robert after the death of Henri Duke of Burgundy in 1002, but a settlement was later reached and was confirmed by the betrothal of Landry's son Renaud to the king's daughter, whose dowry was the county of Auxerre[968].  "Landricus…comes" donated property to Cluny by charter dated to [1010] subscribed by "…Rainaldi eius filii…"[969].  The Miracula Sancti Bernardi names "Landrico…Nivernensium comite" and records his death "Gordone castro"[970].  The Annales Nivernenses record the death "1028 V Id Maii" of "Landricus comes"[971].  The necrology of Auxerre cathedral records the death 11 May of "Landricus comes"[972]

m ([989][973]) MATHILDE de Mâcon, daughter of OTHON GUILLAUME Comte de Mâcon et de Nevers [Bourgogne-Comté] & his first wife Ermentrude de Roucy (-13 Nov or 13 Dec 1005, bur Auxerre Saint-Etienne).  Rodulfus Glaber states that "Landrico Neuernis comite" was married to the oldest daughter of "Willemus, Henrici ducis priuignus, Adalberti Longobardorum ducis filius" & his wife, when recording that he supported his father-in-law in the latter's rebellion against the king [Robert II][974].  She is named in the charter dated to [1028/40] under which "Rainaldus…comes" donated property "in pago Nevernense…Belmontis" to Cluny for the souls of "patris mei Landrici et matris mee Matildis…"[975].  Her father gave her Nevers, which she brought as dowry to her husband.  The necrology of Auxerre cathedral records the death 13 Dec of "Mathildis comitissa, Landrici coniux"[976]

Comte Landry & his wife had five children: 

1.             BODON de Nevers ([997]-[1023]).  "Landricus comes" donated property to the abbey of Flavigny by charter dated 28 Jul 1002 subscribed by "Bodo filius eius, Landricus filius eius…"[977].  It is unlikely that Bodon, assuming he was the oldest child by his father's marriage to Mathilde de Mâcon, could have been born before [997], given the estimated birth date of his maternal grandfather.  Bouchard raises the possibility that Bodon and Landry were sons of an earlier marriage as "they seem to have had no claim to Nevers"[978].  However, it looks likely that they both predeceased their father, and it would have been improbable for surviving infant issue to be installed as count instead of their adult paternal uncle.  Bodon succeeded his wife's maternal uncle in [1016/20] as Comte de Vendôme, by right of his wife.  m (before [1016/20]) ADELA d'Anjou, daughter of FOULQUES III "Nerra" Comte d'Anjou & his first wife Elisabeth de Vendôme (-26 Feb [1033/35]).  The Gesta Consulum Andegavorum names "Gosfridum Martellum et filiam Adelam" as the children of "Fulco Nerra"[979].  The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified, although the Historia Nivernensium Comitum records that the wife of "Bodonem [filium Landrici]" was "stirpis Andegavorum"[980].  She succeeded her maternal uncle in [1016/20] as Ctss de ½ Vendôme.  The necrology of Vendôme La Trinité records the death "IV Kal Mar" of "Addela comitissa"[981]

-        COMTES de VENDÔME

2.             LANDRY de Nevers .  1002/04.  "Landricus comes" donated property to the abbey of Flavigny by charter dated 28 Jul 1002 subscribed by "Bodo filius eius, Landricus filius eius…"[982]

-        see below.

4.             GUY "le petit Bourguignon" de Nevers (-before 1035).  "Rainaldus comes Nivernensis" donated property "Belmontis" to Cluny, for the souls of "Landrici patris mei…[et] Matildis matris mee et uxoris mee Advise et filiorum meorum qui presentes sunt…fratris mei Widonis et Rotberti et Walterii, Gilberti, Abonis, Hiterii, Hugonis, Richardi, Girosi" by charter dated to [1028/40], subscribed by "filii eorum Willelmi"[984]same person as …?  GUY (-after Jun 1023).  "Landrici comitis, Rainaldi filii eius et uxoris eius, Widoni et uxoris eius Acherada…Rodberti filii Gibaldi" subscribed the charter dated Jun 1023 under which "Gibaldus" donated property to Cluny[985].  Bouchard suggests that this was Guy, brother of Renaud [I] Comte de Nevers[986]m ACHERADA, daughter of ---.  "Landrici comitis, Rainaldi filii eius et uxoris eius, Widoni et uxoris eius Acherada…Rodberti filii Gibaldi" subscribed the charter dated Jun 1023 under which "Gibaldus" donated property to Cluny[987]

5.             ROBERT de Nevers .  [1032].  The Miracula Sancti Bernardi records that "Landrico…Nivernensium comite" betrothed "Rotberto uni suorum filio" to "Mahildem, Gimonis filiam"[988]Betrothed (before 1028) to MATHILDE, daughter of GIMO & his wife ---.  The Miracula Sancti Bernardi records that "Landrico…Nivernensium comite" betrothed "Rotberto uni suorum filio" to "Mahildem, Gimonis filiam"[989].  The marriage was never consummated and Mathilde became a nun[990]

 

 

RENAUD [I] de Nevers, son of LANDRY Comte de Nevers & his wife Mathilde de Bourgogne-Comté (-killed in battle Seignelay 29 May 1040, bur Auxerre, Saint-Germain).  "Landricus…comes" donated property to Cluny by charter dated to [1010] subscribed by "…Rainaldi eius filii…"[991].  "Rainaldus comes Nivernensis" donated property "Belmontis" to Cluny, for the souls of "Landrici patris mei…[et] Matildis matris mee et uxoris mee Advise et filiorum meorum qui presentes sunt…fratris mei Widonis et Rotberti et Walterii, Gilberti, Abonis, Hiterii, Hugonis, Richardi, Girosi" by charter dated to [1028/40], subscribed by "filii eorum Willelmi"[992].  "Landrici comitis, Rainaldi filii eius et uxoris eius, Widoni et uxoris eius Acherada…Rodberti filii Gibaldi" subscribed the charter dated Jun 1023 under which "Gibaldus" donated property to Cluny[993].  He succeeded his father in 1028 as Comte de Nevers.  The Origine et Historia Brevi Nivernensium Comitum records that "[comes] Nivernis" was killed by the duke of Burgundy "apud Saigniacum"[994].  Rodolfus Glaber records that he was "daringly assassinated…by a knight of lowly birth"[995].  The Annales Nivernenses record the death in 1040 of "Ragenaldus comes, Landrici comitis proles"[996].  The necrology of Mâcon Cathedral records that "Raynaldus Nivernensis comes" was killed "IV Kal Jun"[997].  The necrology of Auxerre cathedral records that "comes Rainaldus" was killed 29 May[998]

m (soon after 25 Jan 1016) HEDWIGE [Avoie] de France, daughter of ROBERT II "le Pieux" King of France & his third wife Constance d'Arles [Provence] ([1003]-5 Jun after 1063).  Rodolfus Glaber records that "Rainaldus…Landrici comitis filius" married a daughter of King Robert[999].  The Chronici Hugonis Floriacensis names "Adelaidem…Rainaldi comitis Nivernensis uxorem" as the daughter of King Robert and his wife Constance[1000].  The Historia Nivernensium Comitum records that the wife of "Renaldum" was "sorori Regis Roberti, filii Hugonis Capitonis"[1001].  The Annales Vizeliacenses also specifies that Renaud's wife was the sister not daughter of King Robert II[1002].  However, this is chronologically unlikely given that King Robert and his known sisters were born in the 970s, more than twenty years before the earliest possible date of birth of Comte Renaud.  Her marriage was agreed by her father as part of his alliance with Landry Comte de Nevers after capturing Auxerre, which the king gave to his daughter as dowry[1003].  "Rainaldus comes Nivernensis" donated property "Belmontis" to Cluny, for the souls of "…uxoris mee Advise…" by charter dated to [1028/40][1004].  She founded the abbeys of Crisenon and Issenon.

-        see below

2.             HENRI de Nevers .  He is recorded as the brother of Robert "le Bourguignon"[1006], but not directly as the son of Comte Renaud.   

3.             GUY de Nevers (-26 Jan ----).  "Domnus Wido, monachus de Casa Dei, frater comitis Nevernensis" is named in the donation of "Wilelmus Pictavensis comes ac totius dux Aquitanie" dated 11 Jan 1081[1007].  Monk at Chaise-Dieu.  He is recorded as the brother of Robert "le Bourguignon"[1008].  1081. 

4.             ROBERT "le Bourguignon" de Nevers (-after 1098).  Robert's affiliation is indicated by Orderic Vitalis who refers to the wife of Hubert Vicomte de Maine (daughter of Robert's supposed brother Comte Guillaume) as his neptis[1009].  This is corroborated by his known brother Guy being recorded as "frater comitis Nevernensis" (see above).  "Rotbertus Burgundus" is named in the donation of "Wilelmus Pictavensis comes ac totius dux Aquitanie" dated 11 Jan 1081[1010].  Seigneur de Craon after 1053/1067.  Seigneur de Sablé 1068, by right of his first wife.  He supported his niece's husband, Hubert de Sainte-Suzanne Vicomte du Mans, in the besieged castle of Sainte-Suzanne in 1083/85[1011].  He died during the First Crusade.  m firstly ([1040]) AVOIE [Blanche] de Sablé, daughter of GEOFFROY du Maine Seigneur de Sablé & his wife Adelais --- (-before 1070).  The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified.  m secondly (1070) BERTHE [Blanche], daughter of ---.  The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified.  1108.  Robert and his first wife had six children:

a)             AGNES de Nevers ([1169/70]-[Mailly] 2 or 6 Feb 1193).  The Chronologia Roberti Altissiodorenses records that "Guido comes" left two children by his wife "Mathildis", stating that they became wards of the king after their father died[1098].  "Matilidis comitissa" confirmed a previous donation to Cîteaux by "Agnes mater mea comitissa" for the soul of "patris mei Raimundi" with the consent of "filii mei Odo et Guillermus et Agnes et Ida" by charter dated 1179[1099].  Agnes must have been born soon after her parents' marriage as her own charter dated 1185 refers to her unnamed daughter[1100].  She succeeded her brother in 1181 as Ctss de Nevers et d'Auxerre.  "Matildis comitissa" donated property to Cîteaux for the souls of "Guidonis comitis Nivernensis, Petri Flandrensis et Odonis" with the consent of "filie mee Agnes…filia comitis Guidonis et Sibilla filia comitis Petri flandrensis" by charter dated 1182[1101].  The Chronologia Roberti Altissiodorenses records that "Philippus Rex" arranged the marriage of "Guidonis Comitis filiam" and "Petro patrueli suo", and installed him as Comte de Nevers[1102].  "Petrus comes Nivernensis et Agnes comitissa uxor eiusdem comitis et filia Guidonis comitis" confirmed the privileges of the church of St Etienne, Nevers by charter dated 1185[1103].  She succeeded as Ctss de Tonnerre when she and her husband bought Tonnerre from her mother in 1191[1104].  "Petrus comes Nivernensis et Agnes comitissa uxor eius" agreed to renounce rights previously held by their predecessors, naming "Willelmus comes sepultus in ecclesia sancti Germani Autissiodonrensis…et filius eius Villelmus qui in Bethleem requiescit", in favour of Saint-Cyr by charter dated 10 Jun 1190[1105].  The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Denis records the death "Non Feb" of "Agnes Nivernensis comitissa"[1106][1107]Betrothed to OLIVIER "Albus" Seigneur de Grignon (-[1181/84]).  m (1184) as his first wife, PIERRE [II] Seigneur de Courtenay, son of PIERRE de France Seigneur de Courtenay & his wife Elisabeth de Courtenay Dame de Courtenay ([1155]-Epirus after Jun 1219).  He succeeded as Comte de Nevers et d'Auxerre in 1184, by right of his first wife.  He was elected in 1216 to succeed his brother-in-law Henri de Flandres as PIERRE I Emperor of Constantinople

3.             RENAUD de Nevers (-Acre 5 Aug 1191).  "Regnaudus frater meus" consented to the donation to Jully-les-Nonnains by "Guido comes Nivenensis" by charter dated 1170[1113].  "Wido comes Nivernensis" donated property to the abbey of Molesme with the consent of "Ida mater mea et uxor mea Medaldis et Reinaldus frater meus" by charter dated [24 Oct] 1170 which specifies that "Willelmus frater meus" died at Jerusalem[1114].  Guy Comte de Nevers donated property to Molesme with the consent of "Mahaut sa femme, Renaud son frère et Ermengeard sa sœur" by charter dated [28 Mar 1171/16 Apr 1172][1115].  Sire de Decize.  He left for Jerusalem in 1190.  m ALIX de Beaujeu, daughter of HUMBERT [IV] Sire de Beaujeu & his wife Agnes de Thiers dame de Montpensier (-17 Dec [1219]).  "R de Niv" granted privileges to the monks of Cluny with the consent of "uxore mea Aalide" by charter dated 1188[1116].  "Guichardus Belli Joci dominus" entrusted his daughter Philippa to "sorori nostre quondam de Tournouerre comitisse" in his testament dated 18 Sep 1216[1117].  "R[ainaldus] de Niv[ernis]" granted concessions to Cluny "uxore mea Aalide laudante" by charter dated 1188[1118].  She became a nun at Fontevrault after her husband died[1119]

Chapter 21.  SEIGNEURS de SEMUR

 

 

The genealogy of the Seigneurs de Semur [en-Brionnais] is recorded in a mid-12th century genealogy preserved in the cartulary of Marcigny convent, although this only exists now in an 18th century French translation[1190]

 

 

FREELAN de Chamelet, son of ---.  The genealogy of the Seigneurs de Semur, included in the cartulary of Marcigny-sur-Loire and dated to [1144], names "Freelan de Chameliac de Chasteau Signon" as father of "Artauld, Joceran comte de Semur, Freelan abbé et Dalmace"[1191]

DALMAS [I] de Semur, son of GEOFFROY [I] Seigneur de Semur & his first wife --- de Brioude (-murdered 1048).  The genealogy of the Seigneurs de Semur, included in the cartulary of Marcigny-sur-Loire and dated to [1144], names "Dalmace" as son of "Jaufrois qui eut la fille de Dalmas Vicomte de Briode"[1235].  His paternity is deduced from the charter of "Gaufredus" dated [1054] which names "patris mei Dalmatii [et] avi Gausfredi" as well as "Tetbaldus comes avunculus ipsorum" (referring to Geoffroy and Dalmas, sons of this Dalmas)[1236].  He succeeded his father in [1020] as Seigneur de Semur.  The Vita S Hugonis records that "Dux Burgundie, gener eius" killed the father of St Hugues (abbot of Cluny) by his own hand[1237]

m ARAMBURGE, daughter of ---.  The genealogy of the Seigneurs de Semur, included in the cartulary of Marcigny-sur-Loire and dated to [1144], names "Aremburge qui fut sœur du comte Tetbauld" as wife of "Dalmace"[1238].  It is uncertain to whom this refers, but if it is Thibaut Comte de Chalon the entry is an error as he was her husband's brother.  A manuscript now lost records "Aremburgis de Vergy" as wife of "Dalmatii…de Sinemuro"[1239].  "Gaufredus" donated property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire for souls of "genitoris mei Dalmatii et genitricis meæ Aremburgis" by charter dated to [1055/80] which refers to "Cluniacensis monasterii ubi domnus Hugo frater meus præest"[1240]

Dalmas [I] & his wife had nine children: 

1.             MATHILDE de Semur .  "Notes historiques sur le prieuré de Marcigny", included in the cartulary of Marcigny-sur-Loire, name (in order) "sancti Hugonis abbatis Cluniacensis et Gaufredi Sinemurensis, Andræ levitæ, Joceranni et Dalmatii, et sororum eorundem…Materdis, Adalaidæ et Cecilæ atque Evellæ" as children of "Dalmatius"[1241].  The origin of the wife of Guichard de Bourbon-Lancy is proved by the charter dated to [1098/1109] under which "Dalmacius Borbonensis" (this couple's son) donated property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire in which he names "avunculus meus domnus Hugo abbas Cluniacensis"[1242].  Bouchard highlights that she is named as Mathilde only by Jean Richard in his study of the cartulary of Marcigny, not in the actual charters[1243].  However, of the four daughters of Dalmas [I], the husbands of Adelaide and "Evella" [Hélie] are known from other sources.  It is not impossible that the wife of Guichard was the daughter named Cécile.  m GUICHARD Seigneur de Bourbon-Lancy, son of ---. 

2.             ADELAIDE de Semur .  "Notes historiques sur le prieuré de Marcigny", included in the cartulary of Marcigny-sur-Loire, name (in order) "sancti Hugonis abbatis Cluniacensis et Gaufredi Sinemurensis, Andræ levitæ, Joceranni et Dalmatii, et sororum eorundem…Materdis, Adalaidæ et Cecilæ atque Evellæ" as children of "Dalmatius"[1244].  "Gaufredus" confirmed the donations of property, including "omnia quæ Adeleidæ sorori meæ" gave "quando maritum accepit", to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire by charter dated to [1055/80][1245].  "Adelaide autrefois espouse de Dalmasse de Chastel" donated property "que dom Geofroy mon frère de Semeur m'a donné" to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire by charter dated [1066?][1246]m DALMAS de Châtel-Montagne, son of ---.

5.             GEOFFROY [II] de Semur (-[1070/80], bur Marcigny).  The genealogy of the Seigneurs de Semur, included in the cartulary of Marcigny-sur-Loire and dated to [1144], names "le prince Jaufrois et Hugues abbé de Cluny et plusieurs autres" as children of "Dalmace et Aremburge…"[1256].  He succeeded his father as Seigneur de Semur

6.             HUGUES de Semur (-1109).  The genealogy of the Seigneurs de Semur, included in the cartulary of Marcigny-sur-Loire and dated to [1144], names "le prince Jaufrois et Hugues abbé de Cluny et plusieurs autres" as children of "Dalmace et Aremburge…"[1257].  "Hugo noster germanus…Andrea et Dalmatio fratribusque meis" are named in the charter of "Gaufredus" dated [1054][1258].  Abbot of Cluny 1049.  "Gaufredus" donated property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire for souls of "genitoris mei Dalmatii et genitricis meæ Aremburgis" by charter dated to [1055/80] which refers to "Cluniacensis monasterii ubi domnus Hugo frater meus præest"[1259]

a)             RENAUD de Semur (-[1109]).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  Sire de Montagu. 

b)             HUGUES de Semur (-1136).  His biographer states that he was the son of Dalmas Seigneur de Montaigu and nephew of Hugues Abbot of Cluny[1269].  Bishop of Auxerre 1115. 

c)             ERMENGARD de Semur .  The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified.  The genealogy of the Seigneurs de Semur, included in the cartulary of Marcigny-sur-Loire and dated to [1144], names "Ermengarde" as wife of "Gaufrois"[1270].  "Gaufredus de Sinemuro" donated property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire when becoming a monk "cum uxore mea…Ermengarde et uno filio ac duabus filiabus" by charter dated 1088 before 29 Aug[1271].  She retired to Marcigny in 1088 with her husband.  m ([1072]) her first cousin, GEOFFROY [III] Seigneur de Semur, son of GEOFFROY [II] Seigneur de Semur & his wife Adelaide [de Guines] ([1045/50]-1123). 

 

 

GEOFFROY [II] de Semur, son of DALMAS [I] Seigneur de Semur & his wife Aremburge --- (-[1070/80], bur Marcigny).  The genealogy of the Seigneurs de Semur, included in the cartulary of Marcigny-sur-Loire and dated to [1144], names "le prince Jaufrois et Hugues abbé de Cluny et plusieurs autres" as children of "Dalmace et Aremburge…"[1272].  "Gausfredus" names "Dalmacio fratre meo" and "Dalmacii patris mei" in a charter dated 1040[1273].  He succeeded his father as Seigneur de Semur.  "Gaufredus" donated property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire for souls of "genitoris mei Dalmatii et genitricis meæ Aremburgis" by charter dated to [1055/80] which refers to "Cluniacensis monasterii ubi domnus Hugo frater meus præest"[1274].  "Jaufrois et mes fils Jaufrois et Hugues Dalmace" donated property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire for the souls of "mon père Dalmace, de ma mere Aremburge et de la mère de mes fils Jaufrois et Hugues nommée Adaleide et de mes frères André et Dalmace et de notre ayeule Richoare" by charter dated to [1070][1275].  "Gauffredus" donated property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire when he was about to become a monk with the consent of "filiorum eorum Gaufredi, Hugonis et Dalmacii" by charter dated to [after 1070][1276].  His retirement to Cluny is shown by the charter dated 1102 of "frater Hugo…Cluniacensis abbas" who donated property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire "consiliante atque juvante germano nostro domno Gaufredo Sinemurensis postea vero monacho Cluniacensis"[1277]

m ([1045/50]) ADELAIDE, daughter of Comte RENAUD & his wife --- (-before [1070], bur Marcigny).   The genealogy of the Seigneurs de Semur, included in the cartulary of Marcigny-sur-Loire and dated to [1144], names "Adeleide qui fut fille du comte Rainauld" as wife of "Jaufrois"[1278].  If this is correct, she may have been Adelaide de Nevers, daughter of Renaud [I] Comte de Nevers & his wife Hedwige de France [Capet].  However, the Historia Comitum Ghisnensium names "Adelidem quoque Samurensem" as one of the children of "Balduinus [comes Ghisnensi]" & his wife, specifying that her marriage with "Samurensi domino Galfrido" was arranged by "Parisiensis episcopi Guiffredi, Boloniensis comitis Eustacii fratris" to whom she was "cognata et consanguinea"[1279].  This would mean that she was Adelaide de Guines, daughter of Baudouin [I] Comte de Guines & his wife Adela [Christina] [of Holland].  Although the Historia contains many inaccuracies in its narrative of the earlier generations of the family of the Comtes de Guines, the precision of the text in relation to Adelaide does suggest some reliability.  On the other hand, the reference to Geoffroy de Boulogne (appointed Bishop of Paris in 1061) does not provide a perfect chronological match.  As seen below, the retirement of her son Geoffroy [III] to Marcigny with his wife and younger son is dated to 1088.  This would suggest that Geoffroy [IV], older son of Geoffroy [III], was old enough to assume the lordship at the time, indicating that he must have been born not later than [1070] at the latest.  His paternal grandparents are therefore unlikely to have married later than [1045/50].  In addition, the name Baudouin is not found among this couple's descendants, which would be expected if Adelaide had been the daughter of Baudouin Comte de Guines.  "Gaufredus" confirmed the donations of property, including "Brolium quod est in Lavaletta…dedit domina Adeleida pro spetura sua" with the support of "domino Gaufredo et filiis Gaufredi et Hugoni", to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire by charter dated to [1055/80][1280].  "Jaufrois et mes fils Jaufrois et Hugues Dalmace" donated property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire for the souls of "…la mère de mes fils Jaufrois et Hugues nommée Adaleide…" by charter dated to [1070][1281].  Her place of burial is proved by the charter dated to [1070/80] of "Jauffrois fils de Jauffroi cy-devant seigneur de Semur" under which he donated property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire for the soul of "ma mère qui a été enterrée en ce monastère…"[1282]

Geoffroy [II] & his wife had three children:  

1.             GEOFFROY [III] de Semur ([1045/50]-Marcigny 24 May 1123).  The genealogy of the Seigneurs de Semur, included in the cartulary of Marcigny-sur-Loire and dated to [1144], names "Jaufrois et Hugues-Dalmace" as children of "Jaufrois et Adeleide…"[1283].  He succeeded his father as Seigneur de Semur

2.             HUGUES-DALMAS de Semur (-after 1118).  The genealogy of the Seigneurs de Semur, included in the cartulary of Marcigny-sur-Loire and dated to [1144], names "Jaufrois et Hugues-Dalmace" as children of "Jaufrois et Adeleide…"[1284].  Although the charter dated to [after 1070] under which "Gauffredus" donated property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire names "filiorum eorum Gaufredi, Hugonis et Dalmacii"[1285], other documents indicate that "Hugonis et Dalmacii" refers to a single person.  "Jauffrois fils de Jauffroi cy-devant seigneur de Semur" donated property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire for the soul of "ma mère qui a été enterrée en ce monastère…" by charter dated to [1070/80] subscribed by "Hugues son frère"[1286].  "Gaufredus de Sinemuro" donated property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire when becoming a monk with the support of "fratre meo Hugone Dalmacii" by charter dated 1088 before 29 Aug[1287].  He went to Jerusalem in 1118 and seems to have died on the journey[1288]m ---.  The name of Hugues-Dalmas's wife is not known.  Hugues-Dalmas & his wife had one child: 

a)             HUGUES-DALMAS de Semur .  1113/1150.  "Hugo Dalmacius iunioris" renounced rights relating to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire by charter dated to the 1130s[1289].  Seigneur de Marcilly-lès-Buxy.  m (1113) AUSSILIANT de Maymont Dame de'Oliergues-en-Auvergne, daughter of AYMON [I] Seigneur de Maymont & his wife Petronille ---.  The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified.

3.             LUCIE de Semur .  "Jaufrois…" donated property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire for "ma fille nommée Lucie" when she entered the monastery by charter dated to [1070][1291]

 

 

GEOFFROY [III] de Semur, son of GEOFFROY [II] Seigneur de Semur & his wife Adelaide [de Guines] ([1045/50]-Marcigny 24 May 1123).  The genealogy of the Seigneurs de Semur, included in the cartulary of Marcigny-sur-Loire and dated to [1144], names "Jaufrois et Hugues-Dalmace" as children of "Jaufrois et Adeleide…"[1292].  The Historia Comitum Ghisnensium names "Galfridum" as son of "Samurensi domino Galfrido" and his wife[1293].  His birth date range is estimated based on his son's estimated birth date.  He succeeded his father as Seigneur de Semur.  "Jauffrois fils de Jauffroi cy-devant seigneur de Semur" donated property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire for the soul of "ma mère qui a été enterrée en ce monastère…" by charter dated to [1070/80][1294].  "Gaufredus de Sinemuro" donated property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire when becoming a monk "cum uxore mea…Ermengarde et uno filio ac duabus filiabus" by charter dated 1088 before 29 Aug[1295].  He retired to Marcigny in 1088, with his wife and son Renaud and became prior. 

m ([1072]) his first cousin, ERMENGARD de Semur, daughter of DALMAS de Semur Sire de Montagu & his wife ---.  The genealogy of the Seigneurs de Semur, included in the cartulary of Marcigny-sur-Loire and dated to [1144], names "Ermengarde" as wife of "Gaufrois"[1296].  The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified.  "Gaufredus de Sinemuro" donated property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire when becoming a monk "cum uxore mea…Ermengarde et uno filio ac duabus filiabus" by charter dated 1088 before 29 Aug[1297].  She retired to Marcigny in 1088 with her husband. 

Geoffroy [III] & his wife had five children: 

1.             GEOFFROY [IV] de Semur ([1070] or before-before 1128).  The genealogy of the Seigneurs de Semur, included in the cartulary of Marcigny-sur-Loire and dated to [1144], names "Jaufrois et Rainauld…" as children of "Gaufrois et…Ermengarde"[1298].  His birth date is estimated on the assumption that he was old enough to assume the lordship on the retirement of his father in 1088, assuming that the latter date is accurate.  He succeeded his father as Seigneur de Semur.  A dispute between the abbey of Cluny and "cuiusdam iuvenis pronepotis nostri Gaufredi videlicet tercii…filius alterius Gaufredi nepotis nostri" is recorded in the charter dated 1102 by "frater Hugo…Cluniacensis abbas"[1299].  "Gaufredus de Sinemuro germanus domni Raynaldi Vizeliacensis abbatis" donated property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire by charter dated to [1106/08][1300]m MATHILDE, daughter of ---.  The genealogy of the Seigneurs de Semur, included in the cartulary of Marcigny-sur-Loire and dated to [1144], names "la comtesse Matilde" as wife of "Jaufrois"[1301].  Another possibility is that the wife of Geoffroy [IV] may have been Adelaide de Guines, daughter of Baudouin [I] Comte de Guines & his wife Adela [Christina] [of Holland].  The Historia Comitum Ghisnensium names "Adelidem quoque Samurensem" as one of the children of "Balduinus [comes Ghisnensi]" & his wife, specifying that her marriage with "Samurensi domino Galfrido" was arranged by "Parisiensis episcopi Guiffredi, Boloniensis comitis Eustacii fratris" to whom she was "cognata et consanguinea"[1302].  As mentioned above, the reference to Geoffroy de Boulogne (appointed Bishop of Paris in 1061, died 1095) is difficult to link chronologically with Geoffroy [II] Seigneur de Semur, whose wife's name is attested in other sources as Adelaide.  However, assuming that the marriage in question took place towards the end of the bishop's life, the chronology would fit with Seigneur Geoffroy [IV] being her husband.  Nevertheless, the absence of the name Baudouin among the couple's descendants points to this theory being incorrect.  Geoffroy [IV] & his wife had one child: 

a)             GEOFFROY [V] de Semur (-after 1150).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  He succeeded his father as Seigneur de Semurm (before 1128) EMMA, daughter of ---.  "Emma uxor Gaufredi nepotis mei" witnessed a charter at Marcigny-sur-Loire under which "Raynaldus Vizeliacensis abbas" noted various donations[1303]

3.             AELIS (-after 1088).  "Gaufredus de Sinemuro" donated property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire when becoming a monk "cum uxore mea…Ermengarde et uno filio ac duabus filiabus" by charter dated 1088 before 29 Aug[1309].  Nun 1088. 

4.             AGNES (-after 1088).  "Gaufredus de Sinemuro" donated property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire when becoming a monk "cum uxore mea…Ermengarde et uno filio ac duabus filiabus" by charter dated 1088 before 29 Aug[1310].  Nun 1088.

1.             DALMAS [II] de Semur .  He is named in 1168 in the records of La Charité[1311].  His parentage is not known, but it is possible that he was the son of Geoffroy [V] Seigneur de Semur.  m --- de Bourbon-Lancy, daughter of ---.  The primary source which confirms her origin and marriage has not yet been identified. 

 

 

Three brothers , their parents are not known, although they may have been children of Dalmas [II] de Semur, referred to above. 

1.             SIMON [I] de Semur (-in Palestine 1219).  In 1190, "Simon nobilis vir" confirmed that the property which "Geoffroy-Dalmas" held from the abbey of St Martin had been held in fief not as his own property[1312].  He succeeded as Seigneur de Semur, Sire de Luzy.  He took part in the Third Crusade in 1190[1313]m (1196) MARIE de Bourgogne, daughter of EUDES III Duke of Burgundy & his second wife Alix Dame de Vergy (1175-after 1219).  The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified.  She is named "Ducissa" in her husband's 1190 document1312.  Simon [I] & his wife had one child:

1.             MILO, son of --- (-902 or before).  Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks confirmed a judgment relating to property of Kloster Kempten by charter dated 11 Mar [853] which names "advocati sui Milonis, Babone, Fritilone, Etzone comitibus"[1316], although it is not known whether "advocati…Milonis" is the same Milo as named in the other references shown below.  A document issued by Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks dated Nov 853 names "Teutboldus episcopus, Ionas episcopus, Isembardus, et Abbo abba, Daddo" as missi in "in comitatibus Milonis, et in comitatibus Isembardi, Augustuduno scilicet, Matisconense, Divionense, Cabillone, Hatuariis, et in Tornedriso, et in Belniso, et in Dusmiso comitatu Attelæ, et in comitatu Romoldi"[1317].  "Vir nobilis Milo cum conjuge sua Suficia" donated property "in villa de Monte Usclato et in pago Lugdunensi, in vicaria Soyonense in villa Carabaciago" to the abbey of Saint-Chaffre by charter dated "Lothario rege"[1318].  A document of Lothar II King of Lotharingia dated 865 relating to the king's reacceptance of his wife Theotberga names "de comitibus Milo, Ratherius, Erlandus, Theutmarus, Weremboldus, Rocolfus comes" as those swearing allegiance[1319]m firstly SULPICIE, daughter of ---.  "Vir nobilis Milo cum conjuge sua Suficia" donated property "in villa de Monte Usclato et in pago Lugdunensi, in vicaria Soyonense in villa Carabaciago" to the abbey of Saint-Chaffre by charter dated "Lothario rege"[1320]m secondly as her second husband, ADELA, widow of ---, daughter of ---.  "Atila comitissa" donated property to Saint-Bénigne-de-Dijon "pro requie anime viri sui Milonis comitis" with the consent of "Girbaldus comes et Reintrudis uxor eius filia ipsius Atile" by charter dated 902[1321]

 

 

1.             EUDES [Odo], son of EUDES Comte [de Troyes] & his wife --- (-after 886).  The Chronicle of St Bénigne de Dijon names "duo filii Rotberti Andegavorum comitis…senior Odo..Robertus alter"[1322].  "Karolus…rex" granted "villam Cadusiam" to "fideli sui Roberto" in a charter dated 25 Oct 877 which names "Odoni comiti fratri Roberti…cum Tournodrinsis ville pagensibus"[1323]Comte de Tonnerre.  Abbo's Bella Parisiciæ Urbis records the part played by "comites Odo fraterque suus…Rotbertus pariterque comes" at the siege of Paris in 886[1324]

 

 

1.             MILO [I] (-before 950).  "Milonis senioris mei" is named in the donation of Adalgaris for, among others, his soul, dated 950[1325]m ADALGARDIS [Adela], daughter of LANDRY comes & his second wife Emma --- (-after 950).  "Adalgaris" names her parents in her charter dated 950, which also names her brother, husband and three sons[1326].  "…Adelæ comitissæ, Milonis comitis filii eius" subscribed the charter dated 8 Sep 975 under which "Adelelmus miles" donated property to Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire for the souls of "genitore meo Rotberto et genitrice mea Bertha et…Burcardo"[1327].  Bouchard says it is possible to identify Adela, wife of Milo, with the daughter of Humbert [I] Sire de Salins who was the mother of Wandelmodis and grandmother of Engelbert Comte de Brienne[1328], but this theory is disproved by the charter evidence referred to above.  Milo [I] & his wife had three children: 

a)             MILO [II] (-after 980).  "Milone filiis meis" consented to the donation of Adalgaris dated 950[1329].  "…Adelæ comitissæ, Milonis comitis filii eius" subscribed the charter dated 8 Sep 975 under which "Adelelmus miles" donated property to Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire for the souls of "genitore meo Rotberto et genitrice mea Bertha et…Burcardo"[1330]Comte de Tonnerre.  He and his wife restored the monastery of St Michel de Tonnerre to a regular life in 980[1331].  He retired to become a monk at St Michel de Tonnerre[1332]m INGELTRUDE, daughter of ---.  She and her husband restored the monastery of St Michel de Tonnerre to a regular life in 980[1333].  According to Europäische Stammtafeln[1334], she was Ingeltrude de Brienne, possible daughter of Engelbert [I] de Brienne, but the basis for this speculation has not been found.  Milo [II] & his wife had one child: 

i)               [GUY de Tonnerre .  Guy's position in the genealogy of the Comtes de Tonnerre depends on the charter of Comte Milo [IV] dated 1046 which names his atavus Milo, specified as founder of St Michel de Tonnerre, and his proavus Guy[1335].  The difficulty with this is the absence of "abavus" from the series of ancestors.  Bouchard suggests that the charter should be interpreted as indicating that Guy was the son of Milon [II][1336].] 

-         see below

b)             ADEHAR (-after 950).  "Adhyrardo filiis meis" consented to the donation of Adalgaris dated 950[1337]

c)             QUILTO (-after 950).  "Queltonis filii mei" consented to the donation of Adalgaris dated 950[1338]

 

 

GUY, son of [MILO [II] Comte de Tonnerre & his wife Ingeltrude ---] .  Guy's position in the genealogy of the Comtes de Tonnerre depends on the charter of Comte Milo [IV] dated 1046 which names his atavus Milo, specified as founder of St Michel de Tonnerre, and his proavus Guy[1339].  The difficulty with this is the absence of "abavus" from the series of ancestors.  Bouchard suggests that the charter should be interpreted as indicating that Guy was the son of Milon [II][1340]

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

Guy & his wife had two children: 

1.             LETGARDE de Tonnerre (-after 1016).  Europäische Stammtafeln[1341] shows Letgarde as the daughter of "Wido proavus Milonis comitis", the latter referring presumably to the 1046 charter of Comte Milo [IV], but the primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified.  m RICHARD Comte de Bassigny, de Bologne, de Vigory et d'Andelot (-before 1005). 

2.             MILO [III] de Tonnerre (-1002 or after).  Named as pater of Comte Milo [IV] in the latter's 1046 charter[1342].  comes 997/1016.  m (before Nov 992) ERMENGARDIS, daughter of --- (-after 1018).  The wife of Milo, and mother of Achard, Renaud and Aubry, is named Ermengard in the early 11th century[1343].  According to Ernest Petit[1344], Ermengardis married secondly Heribert [III] Comte de Vermandois.  The author highlights a charter of Ermengardis Ctss de Vermandois witnessed by Rainaldus Comte de Tonnerre.  He suggests that Rainaldus would only have done this if he were the son of Ermengardis, although other explanations must be possible.  Settipani points out[1345] that Ermengardis is named as the wife of Héribert in a document of her father-in-law Albert I Comte de Vermandois, relating to the abbey of Homblières, dated some time between 982 and the death of Comte Albert (in 987).  If the two marriages apply to the same Ermengardis, Comte Héribert must therefore have been her first husband and Comte Milon her second.  However, it is not clear that this suggested co-identity is correct, a simpler explanation being that there were two different individuals named Ermengardis.  Ernest Petit also suggests[1346] that Ermengardis (wife of Comte Milon) was heiress of Bar-sur-Seine, in order to explain how her granddaughter by Comte Milon, Eustachia, transmitted this county to her husband Gautier de Brienne.  He identified the father of Ermengardis as "Renaud Comte de Bar-sur-Seine" based on two charters, which he dated to 992 and 997, naming "Rainardus comes" whom he identifies with Rainard, son of miles Raoul de Bar, who is mentioned in the Chronicle of St Bénigne[1347].  There appears to be no other evidence of the existence of this person, and Bouchard[1348] points out that the dating of the two charters in question is uncertain.  She suggests that it is more likely that "Rainardus" is identified with Rainard Comte de Sens or with "Rainaldus" son of Ermengardis.  This of course leaves unanswered the question of how Bar-sur-Seine was transmitted to the Tonnerre family.  Count Milo [III] & his wife had [six] children.  There is controversy over the children of Count Milo [III].  Europäische Stammtafeln[1349] shows Achard, Odo, Renaud and Alberic as sons of Milo & his wife Ermengard, but Milo [IV] and Wido as sons of another Milo.  This appears to be an unnecessary complication.  A simpler explanation is that the two sources which name the two sets of sons should be read together and that all six children had the same parents, although this is not certain. 

a)             ACHARD de Tonnerre .  He is named as son of Milo, whose wife was Ermengard, in the early 11th century[1350].  992/1002.  [A monk in 1018.]

B.      COMTES de TONNERRE (NEVERS, COURTENAY, BOURGOGNE-COMTE)

 

 

GUILLAUME [I] de Nevers, son of RENAUD I Comte de Nevers & his wife Hedwige de France (-20 Jun 1100, bur Nevers, Saint-Etienne).  "Rainaldus comes Nivernensis" donated property "Belmontis" to Cluny, for the souls of "…uxoris mee Advise et filiorum meorum qui presentes sunt…" by charter dated to [1028/40], subscribed by "filii eorum Willelmi"[1370].  He succeeded his father in 1040 as Comte de Nevers et d'Auxerre.  Comte de Tonnerre 1065, de iure uxoris

m firstly ([1039]) ERMENGARDE Ctss de Tonnerre, daughter of RENAUD [I] Comte de Tonnerre & his wife Helvis --- (-before 1090).  She is named as daughter of Rainaldus and Helvis in charters1351.  Her marriage is referred to in the Gesta pontificum[1371].  She succeeded as Ctss de Tonnerre in 1065 when her cousin Comte Hugues-Rainard became bishop of Langres[1372]

Comte Guillaume I and his first wife had six children: 

1.             RENAUD [II] de Nevers (-killed 5 Aug 1089).  The Origine et Historia Brevi Nivernensium Comitum names "Guillelmum et Renaldum" as the two sons of "Guillelmus…I", stating that Renaud possessed "Malliacum et Huben, duo nobilia castra"[1373].   

a)             GUILLAUME [II] de Nevers (-20 Aug 1148).  The Origine et Historia Brevi Nivernensium Comitum names "Guillelmum" as the son of "Guillelmus…[filios]…Renaldum" and his second wife, commenting that he succeeded his grandfather[1374].  He succeeded his grandfather in 1100 as Comte de Nevers

(a)          YOLANDE de Châtillon ([1221/22]-1254).  The estimated birth date of Yolande's first child is [1234/35].  If this is correct (bearing in mind that it would mean that Yolande was no older than 13 when she gave birth), she must have been her parents' first child, born soon after their marriage.  Heiress of the counties of Nevers and Tonnerre.  m ([30 May 1228]) ARCHAMBAUD de Bourbon, son of ARCHAMBAUD [VIII] "le Grand" Sire de Bourbon [Dampierre] & his first wife Guigone de Forez (-Cyprus 15 Jan 1249).  Yolande & her husband had two children:

Chapter 24.  SEIGNEURS de VERGY

 

 

There is insufficient evidence to reconstitute the early generations of this family accurately.  Humbert Seigneur de Vergy declared that his lordship was "paterno et hæreditario iure"[1459], indicating inheritance through the paternal line, but this has not been traced. 

 

 

1.             HENRI, [illegitimate son of HENRI Duke of Burgundy & his mistress ---].  same person as…?  HENRI (-before 1023)Seigneur de Vergy.  J. Richard suggests that Henri Seigneur de Vergy was the son of Henri Duke of Burgundy[1460].  He bases this on the transfer of the seigneurie de Vergy from Henri's son Humbert to Jean, son of Eudes Vicomte de Beaune, indicates a close family relationship, which he assumes to be one of first cousins.  However, Vergy was recorded in the hands of Jean several years before the death of Humbert, suggesting a transfer by sale rather than inheritance.  In any case, the natural heir to Vergy if it had passed by inheritance would have been Geoffroy Comte de Mâcon, son of Humbert's sister Elisabeth.  The same author links the father of Bishop Humbert with the Henri who signed a charter at Flavigny in 992.  m --- [de Bar-sur-Aube], sister of BERAUD Archdeacon, daughter of [NOCHER [I] Comte de Bar-sur-Aube & his wife ---].  "Humbertus archidiaconus…avunculus meus Beraldus archidiaconus" donated property to Cluny by charter dated to [15 Feb 1023][1461] which, if avunculus is used in its strict sense, indicates that the mother of archdeacon Humbert was the sister of archdeacon Béraud.  Henri & his wife had [three] children: 

a)             HUMBERT (-1060).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  According to the editor of the compilation of Cluny charters, Humbert was the son of "Valon Seigneur de Vergy et de Judith de Fonvens"[1462].  Canon and archdeacon of Langres.  "Imbertus archidiaconus" donated property "in pago Hoscherense…in villa Salaona…" to Cluny for the soul of his unnamed parents by charter dated Apr 1020, subscribed by "Gibaldi pueri nepotis eius…"[1463].  "Humbertus archidiaconus…avunculus meus Beraldus archidiaconus" donated property to Cluny by charter dated to [15 Feb 1023] which established the church of Vergy, signed by "Helisabeth soror eius comitissa…cum infantibus suis Gozfredo scilicet atque Rotberto, Gibaldus nepos eius"[1464].  Seigneur de Vergy "paterno et hæreditario iure"[1465] before 1023.  Bishop of Paris [1030]. 

b)             ELISABETH de Vergy (-after 1023).  Her origin is deduced from the charter dated to [15 Feb 1023] under which "Humbertus archidiaconus…avunculus meus Beraldus archidiaconus" donated property to Cluny to establish the church at Vergy, signed by "Helisabeth soror eius comitissa…cum infantibus suis Gozfredo scilicet atque Rotberto, Gibaldus nepos eius"[1466], on the basis that no other Ctss Elisabeth has been identified in Burgundy at this time and that the name of her son "Gozfredo" is confirmed in other documentation.  "Otto comes Maticensis" donated property to Cluny for the souls of "patris mei Guidonis, necnon avi mei Ottonis cognomento Wilelmi et uxoris mee et filii mei Gaufredi" by charter dated to [1017/25], subscribed by "Elisabeth uxoris eius"[1467].  The editor of this compilation notes that Elisabeth was Otto's second wife, presumably because he distinguishes between his unnamed "uxoris mee" and the name of the subscriber[1468].  However, no other reference to an earlier wife of Count Otto has been found.  In addition, the reference in the charter to his son Geoffroy makes it clear that not all those whose souls are invoked were in fact dead at the date of the donation.  "Otto comes…et coniux mea Elisabeth" donated property to Saint-Vincent de Mâcon by charter dated to [1018/30] subscribed by "Ugonis vicecomitis, Willemi fratris eius"[1469].  "Wigo vicecomes et uxor mea Eufemia" donated property to Saint-Vincent de Mâcon by charter dated to [1018/30] subscribed by "Elisabeth comitissa"[1470].  "Otto comes apud Matisconem civitatem" donated property to Saint-Vincent de Mâcon by charter dated to [1018/30] subscribed by "Helisabeth uxoris eius"[1471].  "Otto…comes coniuxque mea Helisabeth" donated property "in pago Linguonensi in comitatu Oscherensi in villa Fisciaco" to Cluny by charter dated 29 Jul [1030 or before], which refers to the donations being confirmed "post uxoris mee iam dicte Helisabeth discessum"[1472], showing that Elisabeth predeceased her husband.  m (before 1016) OTTON [II] de Mâcon, son of GUY de Mâcon [Bourgogne-Comté] & his wife Aélis de Mâcon ([1000]-[1033/41]).  He succeeded in 1026 as Comte de Mâcon

c)             [---.  m ---.] 

i)               GIRBALD .  "Imbertus archidiaconus" donated property "in pago Hoscherense…in villa Salaona…" to Cluny for the soul of his unnamed parents by charter dated Apr 1020, subscribed by "Gibaldi pueri nepotis eius…"[1473].  "Humbertus archidiaconus…avunculus meus Beraldus archidiaconus" donated property to Cluny by charter dated to [15 Feb 1023] which established the church of Vergy, signed by "Helisabeth soror eius comitissa…cum infantibus suis Gozfredo scilicet atque Rotberto, Gibaldus nepos eius"[1474]

 

 

JEAN [de Beaune], son of EUDES Vicomte de Beaune & his wife Ingola --- (-after 1053).  "Odo Belnensis vicecomes" with the consent of "uxoris suæ nomine Inge et filiorum eius Aquionis abbatis et Joannis" are named in a charter dated 1012 as donors of part of the property exchanged between "Willelmus abbas Divionensis et Amadeus Flaviniacensis abbas"[1475]Seigneur de Vergy before 1053.

-        see below

b)             HERVE de Vergy (-1171 or after).  "Elisabet de Virziaco castro" donated property to Cîteaux with the consent of "viri sui domni Saverini comitis et filiorum suorum Simonis et Arvei", recorded among donations in an undated early 12th century charter[1481].  He acted with his father and brother Simon in 1096 in the purchase of part of the county of Chalon from his nephew.  Seigneur de Vergy.  "Symonis et Hervei dominorum de Vergiaco et Hugonis de Soliaco" donated property to Cîteaux by charter dated [1131?][1482].  "Erveius Vergiaci dominus" donated property to Cîteaux with the consent of "HugoMontis Sancti Johannis dominus, gener meus" by charter dated 1167 which specifies that Hervé had constituted his son-in-law as his heir in Vergy[1483].  "Herveius dominus Vergiaci" donated property to Cîteaux by charter dated 1171 which records as present "nepote meo Erveio abbate sancti Stephani"[1484]m LUCIA, daughter of ---.  She is named with her husband in a charter of La Bussière[1485].  Hervé & his wife had [three] children: 

i)               SAVARIC de Vergy (-[1166]).  "Savaricus filius Hervei Vergiaci, cognatus…Guidonis [domini Vergiacensis]" is named in an undated charter which records the stormy relationship between the abbey of Cîteaux and the Seigneurs de Vergy[1486].  Named as son of Hervé in a charter of St Etienne de Dijon[1487].  He must have died before his father's charter dated 1167 which specifies that his brother-in-law had been named heir to Vergy. 

ii)             ELISABETH de Vergy .  "Erveius Vergiaci dominus" donated property to Cîteaux with the consent of "HugoMontis Sancti Johannis dominus, gener meus" by charter dated 1167 which also names "…filia etiam mea Elisabeth uxor ipsius Hugonis de Monte Sancti Johannis"[1488].  Named as daughter of Hervé in a charter of St Etienne de Dijon1487m HUGUES de Mont-Saint-Jean, son of ---.  "Erveius Vergiaci dominus" donated property to Cîteaux with the consent of "HugoMontis Sancti Johannis dominus, gener meus" by charter dated 1167 which specifies that Hervé had constituted his son-in-law as his heir in Vergy[1489].  Hugues de Mont-Saint-Jean & his wife had [two] children: 

(a)          GUILLAUME de Vergy .  Seigneur de Mont-Saint-Jean.  He claimed the seigneurie de Vergy from his consanguineus Hugues de Vergy in the court of the Duke of Burgundy at the end of the 12th century[1490]

(b)          [HERVE (-after 1171).  "Herveius dominus Vergiaci" donated property to Cîteaux by charter dated 1171 which records as present "nepote meo Erveio abbate sancti Stephani"[1491].  It is assumed that Hervé was a grandson of the donor, maybe the son of his daughter Elisabeth whose husband was her father's heir.]   

iii)            [daughter (-before 1167).  m ---.] 

(a)          ARTAUD de Saint-Preject (-after 1167).  "Erveius Vergiaci dominus" donated property to Cîteaux with the consent of "HugoMontis Sancti Johannis dominus, gener meus" by charter dated 1167 which also names "…Artaldus de sancto Prejecto nepos meus" immediately before the name of his daughter[1492].  It is suggested that in this charter "nepos" should be translated as "grandson".  The positioning of Artaud's name in the document before the donor's daughter suggests a prominent place in the donor's immediate family.  It seems unlikely that a nephew would have been included in that position, especially as none of Hervé's other known nephews are named.  If this is correct, it is assumed that Artaud was the son of another of Hervé's daughters who had died before the date of the charter, maybe many years previously which would explain why she is not mentioned in the document.] 

c)             ARNOUL de Vergy (-bur Tart).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  m EMELINA, daughter of --- (-bur Tart).  She and her husband founded the nunnery of Tart in 1132[1493].  Arnoul & his wife had two children:
