Gervais de Château-du-Loir[1] (1007–1067) was a French nobleman, bishop, and a powerful figure of his time in Northern France. He was Bishop of Le Mans from 1036, and Archbishop of Reims from 1055.
A strong supporter of the family of Blois, and opposed to the Angevins, at one point he had to seek refuge at the court of William, Duke of Normandy.[2]
As Archbishop, he crowned Philip I of France in 1059. Philip's father Henry I of France was then alive, but died in 1060. Gervais was then regent, with Baldwin V, Count of Flanders, until 1066.
[edit] FamilyHis father was Hamon de Château-du-Loir.[3], his mother Hildeburge de Bellême[4], daughter of Yves I de Bellême. He was also called Gervais de Bellême.
