Note on Husband: Guy I +

Guy I (died 1095) was the second lord of Bray and the second lord of Montlhéry. He was probably the son of Thibaud of Montmorency, but some sources say that his father was named Milo. Thibaud may instead have been his grandfather.

 

He married Hodierna of Gometz, daughter of William, lord of Gometz. They had seven children:

 

Milo I the Great, (also called Milon I) lord of Monthléry, married Lithuaise, sister of Stephen of Blois.

Melisende of Montlhéry, married Hugh I, count of Rethel, mother of Baldwin II of Jerusalem (died 1118)

Elizabeth of Montlhéry, married Joscelin, lord of Courtenay, mother of Joscelin I, Count of Edessa

Guy II the Red (died 1108), lord of Rochefort

Beatrice of Rochefort, married Anseau of Garlande (1069–1117)

Hodierna of Montlhéry, married Walter of Saint-Valéry

Alice of Montlhéry (also called Adele & Alix) (1040–1097), married Hugh I, lord of Le Puiset (1035–1094)

 

Guy died in 1095, the same year Pope Urban II launched the First Crusade. Many of his descendants had illustrious careers in the Holy Land, through the Montlhéry, Courtenay, and Le Puiset branches of his family.

Note on Wife: Hodierne + of GOMETZ-LA-FER

Hodierne Gometz is the daughter of William of Gometz Gometz Lord, wife of Gui I de Montlhéry , she made large donations to the new religion. The order of St Benedict (created by Guy de Montlhéry her husband, who won in 1061 by Geoffrey, Bishop of Paris, the concession of the church of Long Bridge and founded the monastery) We read in the Gallia Chistian (She- even went to Cluny for the Abbe number of monks and was present at the abbey of a golden chalice of thirty ounces of precious chasuble)

[ edit ] History and Legend

 

It is reported that this lady worked with his hands in the construction of the church, and she would fetch water from a spring some distance, which still enjoys the reputation of curing fever. It is reported that one day Hodierne came to ask the blacksmith of the place how to carry his buckets with less fatigue, and the blacksmith, brutal man, threw a pumpkin red iron; qu'Hodierne does not burn, and than to punish the blacksmith, she cursed all the seed of the people to hammer, and vowed that anyone would even stand at Long Bridge would not see the end of the year. The blacksmith died soon after, and some gullible people have written since, have not seen any blacksmith stand at Long Bridge

[ edit ] Death

 

The priory church was beautiful, very large, and contained a large number of tombs. Hodierne, was buried before the high altar, under a tomb which read Hodieræ inclytcæ omitisshæ Erici montis Sacrarum harum Ædium fundatricis ossa Sub dio jacentia ab anno Millesimo pro Masle Domna nichaelis the rocks, hujusce hic domus prioris studio translate fuer anno ultima die mensis Augusti 1651
