128709791216. Rodulf (Ralph) I De WARENNE ²²³⁴ ^,2646 was born about 998 in Varenne Near Bellencombre, Seine-Inferieure, Normandy, France ^²¹⁸⁹ and died after 1074 in Varenne Near Bellencombre, Seine-Inferieure, Normandy, France ^²⁶⁴⁶.

General Notes: RODULF (e) DE WARENNE derived his name from the hamlet of Varenne (dept. Seine-Inférieure) on the little river Varenne in Normandy. His parentage is unknown. He is said to have held land outside the walls of Rouen under Robert I, Duke of Normandy (died 1035), and the Cartulary of the abbey of the Holy Trinity on the Mont de Rouen proves that he held a considerable territory on both banks of the Seine upstream from Rouen. He also held land at Vascoeuil (dept. Eure), which he gave about 1053 to the abbey of St. Pierre de Préaux (b), and in the pays de Caux, north of Rouen, where he sold 4 churches with tithes to the Holy Trinity in 1059, and gave another church, also with tithes, in 1074. He married Beatrice, whose mother was almost certainly a sister of Gotmund Rufus DE VASCOEUIL, daughter of Tesselin, Vicomte of Rouen. She was living about 1053. [Complete Peerage XII/1:491-2, XIV:603, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

(e) His christian name is Latinised both as Rodulfus and as Radulfus (Ralph), This confusion occurs in other families (eg. the founder of the "Tancarvilles") and is probably due to two somewhat similar names having been assimilated into one; eg. Ranulf (from Hrabenwulf) and Randolf (from Randwulf). Scribes were then likely to change Rodulfus when copying early charters.

(b) Before May 1055 Rodulf sold to the monks land at Blosseville and Eauplet, on the right bank of the Seine, and Sotteville on the left bank. Subsequently he sold them all his rights in Blosseville, Mesnil-Esnard, Neuvillette, Lescure and Eauplet.

For this identification see Mr. Loyd's paper 'The Origin of the Family of Warenne' in Yorkshire Arch. Journal, vol. xxxi, pp. 97-113. The hamlet of Varenne lies on the river Varenne c. 2 miles S of Arques and c. 13 miles N of Bellencombre. The latter place, arr. Dieppe, cant. Bellencombre, where there was a castle, became the caput of the Warenne honour in Normandy.

Rodulf (Ralph) I de Warenne

K.S.B. Keats-Rohan "Poppa of Bayeux and her Family":

1027-35: first occurrence of Ralph de Warenne in a charter for Saint-Amand [p22]

c1050: grant of land in Vascoeuil by Ralph de Warenne and wife Beatrice; charter mentions Ralph's brother Godfrey and was attested by Gotmund miles abbatis. Dateable to c1050 by a reference to Roger de Beaumont as Vicomte of Rouen [p22]

1050's: well known charters of early 1050s by which Ralph de Warenne and his wife Beatrice were associated with the lands of Roger fitz Bishop Hugh of Coutances and his sons. [p23]

Research note: K-R p22 contradicts CP (& Holloway & Wagner) by stating Rodulph/Ralph died before Beatrice. Beatrice is listed as living 1053 (CP XII/1:492 & ES III:698) & dead before 1059 (CP XII/1:492, K-R p22, Moriarty p184, Wagner p46]. K-R states a grant "made by widow Beatrice" to Preaux of land near Dozule, Eure was "dated during the time of William son of Count Robert, suggesting that William had not yet begun the series of military achievements that enabled him to be detached from his father in such references, i.e. before c1054-60". To do: check CP's source of the 1074 grant. Also is the term "widow" K-R's or stated in the grant of the land near Dozule?... Curt

The following is excerpted (full post is in notes under father) from a post to SGM, 3 Dec 1996, by Todd Farmerie:

Subject: Robert de Torigny and the family of Gunnor, Duchess of Normandy
Newsgroups: soc.genealogy.medieval
Date: 1996/12/03

It appears to be through this family that the relationship of two more Norman barons come into play, but not exactly as Torigny presents it. He shows yet another niece marrying Ranulph de Warenne, and by him having William de Warenne and Roger de Mortimer. This is clearly untrue, because Roger appears to have been a generation older than William. The solution appears to be that Torigny (as he had done with the Montgomerys) compressed into one individual a father and son of the same name. Ranulph de Warenne (I) appears to have married Beatrice, sister of Richard, vicomte of Rouen, and thus sister-in-law of one of Gunnor's nieces (thus it would appear that this family actually does not descend from a relative of Gunnor's, but is genealogically linked to some of her descendants) and had sons: Roger (de Mortimer) and Ranulph de Warenne (II), who in turn was father of another Ranulf (III) and of William de Warenne.

Another name for Raoul was Raoul III "The Great" Count Of VALOIS & Vexin.

General Notes: Raoul, a descendent of Charlemagne, was Count of Valois, Vexin, and Crepy. To this he added Bar-sur-Aube by marrying the heiress, Aelis, Comtesse de Bar-sur-Aube, a widow. However, after sigining the marriage-contract but before the nuptials had taken place, the knights of the Chateau de Joigny passed her on to another nobleman. Raoul hurried back and captured the Chateau and his bride, locking her up in La Ferte-sur-Aube, long enough to assure himself she was not pregnant. Again in his absence, she was captured by a local squire but, after being rescued, the nuptials with Raoul took place and they became the parents of two sons and two, perhaps three, daughters.

After Aelis died, Raoul married a lady named Haquenez, but when the king died and his widow became available, Raoul dismissed Haquenez and married the queen-widow. At this, however, Haquenez complained to the pope of being "despoiled of everything by her husband; she had been dismissed on a false charge of fornication."

Raoul was excommunicated, not for adultery but for incest. 'Contrary to the law, he had lain with the wife of the dead king, who was his cousin." [Leo van de Pas]

Raoul married Aelis (Adele) Comtesse De BAR-SUR-AUBE ²⁶⁵⁵ before 1041 in 4th Husband 1St Wife.²⁴²⁹ Aelis was born about 1019 in Bar-Sur-Aube, Aube, Champagne, France and died in 1053 ^²⁶⁵⁵ about age 34.

Children from this marriage were:

64354895615 i. Adela De VEXIN (born about 1041 in Valois Now Oise, Picardy, France - died in 1080)

64354912801 ii. Hawise De VEXIN (born about 1042 in Vexin, Seine-Inferieure, Normandy, France - died after 1086)

iii. Alais (Elizabeth) De VEXIN was born about 1045 in Valois Now Oise, Picardy, France and died after 12 May 1093 ^²⁶⁵⁶. Another name for Alais was Alix (Elizabeth) De VALOIS.

Raoul next married Haquenez ²⁴²⁹ after 1053 in 2ND Wife - Divorced 1060.²⁴²⁹ Haquenez was born about 1030 in France.

Raoul next married Queen Of France Anna (Agnesa) Yaroslavna Of KIEV ¹⁵²⁴ ^,1598 ^,1601 ^,2426 in 1061 in 2ND Husband 3Rd Wife.²⁴²⁹ Anna was born about 1024 in Kiev, Ukraine,^²⁴²⁷ died after 1075 in France ^{¹⁵²⁴^,2428}, and was buried in Villiers Abbey, La-Ferte-Alias, Essonne, Ile-DE-France, France.

128709791231. Aelis (Adele) Comtesse De BAR-SUR-AUBE,²⁶⁵⁵ daughter of Nocher III Comte De BAR-SUR-AUBE and Unknown, was born about 1019 in Bar-Sur-Aube, Aube, Champagne, France and died in 1053 ^²⁶⁵⁵ about age 34.

General Notes: The marriages of Aelis are very confusing to say the least. I think that I have sorted them out in order. See notes under Raoul (4th husband) to see some of the reasons behind all of the "marriages". Perhaps the 2nd & 3rd of them weren't really marriages, but abductions, which would explain why there were so many marriages with little time in between husbands.

I have her with a son by her 1st husband. The account in Raoul's notes doesn't say anything about earlier children, starting her out as a "widow", apparently of a Joigny.

Noted events in her life were:

• Alt. Death: Alt. Death, 1043.

Aelis married Renaud I Comte De JOIGNY ²⁶⁵⁷ before 1034 in 1st Husband.²⁶⁵⁵ Renaud was born about 1015 in Joigny, Yonne, Bourgogne, France and died before 1037.

Noted events in his life were:

• Alt. Death: Alt. Death, After 1055.

The child from this marriage was:

i. Geoffrey II Seigneur De JOIGNY was born about 1035 in Joigny, Yonne, Bourgogne, France and died after 1085.

Aelis next married Roger I De VIGNORY ²⁶⁵⁹ in 1038 in 2ND Husband 2ND Wife - Divorced ?.²⁶⁵⁸ Roger was born about 1000 in Vignory, Haute-Marne, Champagne, France and died before 1059 ^²⁶⁵⁹.

Aelis next married Renaud De SEMUR-EN-BRIONNAIS,²⁶⁶⁰ son of Dalmas I Comte De SEMUR and Aremburge De NEVERS, in 1040 in 3rd Husband.²⁶⁵⁵ Renaud was born about 1019 in Semur-En-Brionnais, Saone-Et-Loire, Bourgogne, France. Another name for Renaud was Renaud De SEMUR.

Aelis next married Raoul III "The Great" Count Of Valois & VEXIN ²⁴³⁰ ^,2431 before 1041 in 4th Husband 1St Wife.²⁴²⁹ Raoul was born about 1015 in Vexin, Seine Inferieure, Normandy, France,^²⁴³¹ died from 23 February 1073 to 1074 in Peronne, Somme, Picardy, France ^²⁴³¹ about age 58, and was buried in Crepy, Artois/Pas-DE-Calais, France. Another name for Raoul was Raoul III "The Great" Count Of VALOIS & Vexin.

128709797296. Roger II De MONTGOMERIE 1st Earl Of Shrewsbury,⁴¹⁵ ^,588 ^,1372 ^,1375 ^,1664 ^,1666 ^,1667 ^,1700 ^,1961 ^,1962 ^,1963 son of Roger I De MONTGOMERY Vicomte D'hiemois and Emma, was born in 1022 in St-Germain-DE-Montgomery, Calvados, Normandy, France,^{¹³⁷²^,1375^,1664^,1964} died on 27 July 1094 in Shrewsbury Abbey, Shropshire, England ^{¹¹²⁰^,1372^,1375^,1664^,1666^,1962^,1963^,1964^,1965^,1966} at age 72, and was buried in 1st Earl Of Shrewsbury & Arundel..^{¹³⁷⁵^,1664} Other names for Roger were 01st Earl Of ARUNDEL Roger II De Montgomery,¹⁹⁶³ Roger De Montgomery II EARL OF ARUNDEL, and 1st Earl Of SHREWSBURY Roger II De Montgomery.

General Notes:
Shrewsbury, Earldom of: In early December 1074 Roger de Montgomery was created Earl of Shropshire or Shrewsbury. As with other medieval earldoms, little distinction was then made between the county town and county proper when designating a specific name for a title, chiefly because an earl, who was then more or less and official, albeit often hereditary, was inconceivable except as earl of a county.

Roger was son of another Roger de Montgomery, seigneur of the Norman places (St Germain-de-Montgomery and Ste-Foy-de-Montgomery) of that name in the Calvados region. He was a prominent member of the nobles grouped around William (later William I of England, The Conqueror) of Normandy well before the 1066 invasion of England but stayed behind in Normandy during the actual enterprise. The year after Hastings he went to England and received land grants in Sussex. He is thought to have constructed the Castle of Montgomery (now in Powys, but formerly named Mongomeryshire after his family), doing so shortly before the Domesday Survey. [Burke's Peerage, p. 2604]

--------------------------------

EARLDOM OF SHREWSBURY (I) 1074

EARLDOM OF ARUNDEL (I) 1067

ROGER DE MONTGOMERY (who, in right of his 1st wife, Mabel de Bellême, daughter of William TALVAS, was LORD OF ALENCON, SEEZ, &c., in Normandy), having during the invasion of England, remained, as REGENT, in Normandy, came over thence, for the first time, with King William, in December 1067, and, at the Christmas festival, was created an EARL, receiving, among other large grants from the Conqueror, about one third of the county of Sussex, including the city of Chichester and the CASTLE OF ARUNDEL.(a) By this last grant he may be considered to have become EARL OF ARUNDEL, according to the remarkable admission(b) in 1433 on the claim to that Earldom. At all events he was frequently so styled, though, occasionally, he is styled EARL OF CHICHESTER. Dugdale and many later writers consider him to have been EARL OF SUSSEX. On the dismemberment of Mercia, in 1070, another Earldom was conferred on him, by the grant of nearly the whole of Shropshire (with, apparently, Palatine authority), together with the Castles of Shrewsbury and Montgomery, and the Lordship of the West Marches. He was thenceforth generally known as EARL OF SHREWSBURY, though occasionally (according to modern views, more correctly) as EARL OF SHROPSHIRE. He is the "COMES ROGIERUS " of the Domesday survey, where, of course, no local designation is attributed to him. He died 27 July 1094.

(a)This formed the Honour of Arundel, which consisted of the rapes of Arundel and Chichester, being two out of the six rapes into which Sussex is divided. It contained, besides the city of Chichester and the Castle of Arundel (as abovenamed), 84 1/2 knights' fees, ten hundreds (with their forests, woods and chases), three lordships (Halnaker, Petworth and Midhurst) eighteen parks and seventy-seven manors. See Tierney's Hist. of Arundel, p. 12. G.E.C.

It is pointed out however to the Editor by J. H. Round that, according to the latest view of archeologists, the castle may have been erected by Roger of Montgomery himself, after obtaining possession of the Honour. V.G.

(b)The claim to the Earldom as being one by tenure of the Castle of Arundel was made by John Arundel, who had been sum. to Parl. in 1429, the writ being directed "Johanni ArundeIl' de Arundell' Chivaler." In I433 (II Hen. VI) he petitioned [as Earl of Arundel] to be sum. to Parl. and considered as Earl of Arundel, a dignity or name united and annexed to the Castle and Lordship of Arundel, for time whereof memory of man was not to the contrary--a peculiar and distinct claim (as stated in the First Report on the Dignity of a Peer, p. 406), " not connected with any general, but asserting a special right, and which being founded on prescription, was to be supported by evidence of constant and immemorial enjoyment of the asserted right, which right if not shown to have been so constantly enjoyed, the title by prescription failed. This claim, though opposed by John (Mowbray), Duke of Norfolk, was admitted by the Crown, notwithstanding that the assertion of the constant annexation of the title to the Castle of Arundel could not have been sustained, had it been (which it was not) made the subject of an enquiry." (Courthope, p. 30).

The claim then of 1433 was, as is stated above, "admitted by the Crown, or so far admitted as that the assertion in the petition is made the consideration (with others not connected with the question) for the King's acceding to it, with a saving, nevertheless, of the right of the King, of the Duke of Norfolk (who, being a coheir of the Earls of Arundel, had opposed the Earl's claim) and of every other person; which saving clause, as is remarked in the First Report on the Dignity of a Peer, was that species of saving which is deemed in law illusory operating nothing.' (Courthope, p. xx). See also Tierney's Historv of Arundel (vol. i, p. 106), where the judgment is set out, reciting "that Richard Fitz Alan was seized of the Castle, Honour and Lordship [of Arundel] in fee; that, by reason of his possession thereof, he was, without other reason or creation, EARL oF ARUNDEL, - &c."; and stating also, that "the King, contemplating the person of the present claimant, now Earl of Arundel, &c., has, with the advice and assent of the Prelates, Dukes, Earls and Barons in this present Parl. assembled, admitted John, now Earl of Arundel, to the place and seat anciently belonging to the Earls of Arundel in Parl. and council."

Almost similar words are used in the Act of Parl. obtained in 1627, which, in form of a petition to the King recites that the Earldom of Arundel had been real and local from the time whereof the memory of man was not to the contrary, and had, from the time aforesaid, been used and enjoyed bv the petitioner and such of his ancestors as had possessed the Castle of Arundel, &c. Now it is to be noted that the claimant of 1433 alleged that his ancestors, the possessors of Arundel, were Earls of Arundel, both bs(ore, as well as after, the Conquest. Fortunately, however King Harold and his father, Earl Godwin, have not to be included, and still less a long shadowy race of Earls extending upwards towards (even if not including) primeval man. The words "memory of man " must, of course, be read in their strict legal significance, as indicating the reign of Richard I, so that the Act of 1627 (and, possibly, the admission of 1433 also) would not apply to any Earl of Arundel, prior to I I 89.

The Redesdale Committee remarks on these proceedings that they "ought to be considered as an anomaly influenced by political views, and decided apparently without much discussion, and without the assistance of the judges." Moreover the assertion of fact by the claimant as to the Earldom having always depended on possession of the Castle in the past "seems not to have been true, and not to have been made the subject of enquiry when the question was decided." For a similar case of a charter creating a peerage, and setting out, as facts, unfounded statements of the grantee, see the Barony of LISLE, cr. 1444, in the same reign.

1st Earl of Shrewsbury [Ref: Doug Smith <[email protected]> message to soc.genealogy.medieval 27 Apr 2002]
Roger Earl of Shrewsbury. Also Roger of Montgomery. From Saint Germain de Montgomery, near Lisieux. Lord of Sussex rape of Arundel, with castle there; Earl of Shrewsbury from 1071-74 to death in 1094. Holdings in 12 counties in south, east and west. [Ref: Domesday Online]

Shropshire and the Domesday Book in 1086:
Roger de Montgomery II, better known as Earl Roger in the Domesday, but officially the seigneur of Montgomery, was the major recipient of Shropshire holdings. An old man of considerable wealth and power, he contributed 60 ships to the invasion fleet and was in command of a wing at the Battle of Hastings. He returned to Normandy with Queen Matilda, and the young Duke Robert as Duke William's representative in Normandy. He became head of the council that governed the Duchy of Normandy in Duke William's frequent absences in England. The Norman Montgomery family ancestry was closely interwoven either by blood or marriage with the Duchy of Normandy. However, the family history in Normandy was not without blemish. Roger had four brothers, Hugh, Robert, William and Gilbert. All four brothers were murdered in revenge for the murder of Osberne de Crepon, guardian of Duke William. Roger was the survivor. Continuing, Roger de Montgomery had four sons. Eldest was Robert, Count of Alencon, and successor in Normandy to his vast estates which he still held for his father Roger as his chief domain. He was followed by second son, Hugh, who inherited the Earldom of Arundel, Chichester and Shrewsbury, the life custodian of the main Montgomery family domains granted in England. These would eventually go to Robert in 1098, purchased from William Rufus for 3000 pounds. Next youngest was Count Roger de Poitou who was made the first Earl of Lancaster by Duke William of Normandy, a less maganamious grant which befitted the third youngest son. Philip, the youngest, remained in Normandy and accompanied Duke Robert on the first crusade to the Holy land, and died there in 1094.

Earl Roger was responsible to Duke William of Normandy as his chief architect in the defence of the middle marches of the border in his defence against the Welsh. He built many castles including Montgomery, Shrewsbury, Arundel, Ludlow, Clun, Hopton and Oswestry. His son, Robert, described at the Conquest as a 'novice in arms', but who might have been 40 by the Domesday, represented his father Earl Roger, and created some confusion in the records. Roger, the father, became the Earl of Shrewsbury and the Earl of Arundel in England, and retained his domains in Normandy at Bailleul (Kings of Scotland), Belmeis (Beaumais), Pantulf, Vimoutiers, Say and Tornai. However, Earl Roger also became confused with Roger de Beaumont in Normandy, who, it is claimed, was also head of the council in Normandy. [found this online but didn't cite URL, sorry.

From: Todd A. Farmerie ([email protected])
Subject: Robert de Torigny and the family of Gunnor, Duchess of Normandy

Duvelina, a second sister of Gunnor, married Turulf de Pont Audemer, son of a Norman founder Torf, and uncle of the first of the Harcourts. They had at least one son, Humphrey de Vielles, who in turn was father of Roger de Beaumont, another Conquest-era baron.

General Notes: The following was given in a post-em by Curt Hofemann, [email protected]:

ID: I00298 Robert II Count of Meulan

ES III:701A shows "Hugo I & dau Gautier II Cte de Valois".

died: kurz nach 25.VIII 1005 [Ref: ES III:657 & 701A] (shortly before 25 Aug 1005)

ES lists his father's name as Galeran, but I've also seen Waleran. Also I've seen Count of Meulan or Meullant.

So is it Hugo or Robert? ES is usually more reliable than Turton, but ES is not without it's faults too.

General Notes: Ralph/Rodulf de Toeni; feudal Lord also of Conches; custodian with his son of Castle of Tillieres from 1013 to 1014; took part in Norman expedition to Southern Italy c1015. [Burke's Peerage]

-----------------------

RALPH (or RODULF) DE TOENI II, son and heir, was born probably before 970, for in 1013 or 1014 the Duke of Normandy, having founded the castle of Tilliéres, gave the custody of it to Ralph de Toeni and his son Roger, together with Neel, Vicomte of the Cotentin. Ralph was seigneur of Tosni and Conches. ) About 1015 he went to Apulia; and in the winter of 1015-16 he was at the siege of Salerno (a). The name and parentage of his wife are unknown, but it is possible that she belonged to a collateral branch of the ducal house; for according to Orderic, Ralph's son Roger descended from an alleged uncle of Rolf, the founder of Normandy (b). The date of Ralph's death is not known. [Complete Peerage XII/1:754-5, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

(a) "Chron. Mon. Casinensis" (in one MS, only) in Mon. Germ. Hist., vol ix (vol vii Scriptorum), p. 652, note (a); F. Chalondon, La Domination normande en Italie, vol i, pp. 49, 52; cf. Douglas, op. cit. p. 30, note 127. He may be the "quidam Normannorum audacissimus, nomine Rodulfuls," who (according to Rodulf Glaber), having displeased Duke Richard, went to Rome to lay his cause before the Pope and was induced by him to got to Benevento to fight the Greeks; and after victorious campaigns returned to Normandy (Rec. des Hist. de France, vol x, pp. 25-26). According to the Sens Chron., Count Rodulf, whose son Roger fought in Spain (see p. 756, note "b" below), set out from Normandy for Jerusalem, but when he reached Apulia was asked by the local princeps to abandon his pilgrimage and stop to fight the Greeks, which he did ("Chron. S. Petri Vivi Senonensis," in Idem, p. 223). These writers may refer to Ralph de Toeni, but the identity cannot be proved.

(b) . . . de Stirpe Malahulcii, qui Rollonis patruus fuerat (Will. de Jumieges, p. 157--interpoations by Orderic). An alternative reading is "de stirpe mala Hulcii" (Rec. des Hist. de France, vol xi, p. 38); whence he is called "Hulce" by the Vicomte du Motey, Origines de la Normandie, p. 55, note 4 and p. 173. Nothing is known of Rolf's alleged uncle under either name. If he really existed, the alleged descent might be through the unknown wife of the elder Ralph.

Ralph married Miss Countess Of BAYEUX. Miss was born about 970 in Bayeux, Calvados, Normandy, France.

Subject: Robert de Torigny and the family of Gunnor, Duchess of Normandy
Newsgroups: soc.genealogy.medieval
Date: 1996/12/03

Gunnor had at least three sisters, of which the oldest appears to have been Senfria (Seinfreda), who was wife of the (unnamed) forester from the area of St. Vaast d'Equiqueville, and it was her charms which are said first to have attracted the attentions Duke Richard I. She appears to have had at least one daughter, Joscelina, wife of Hugh de Montgomery. (Torigny makes Joscelina daughter of another sister, Wevia, but a contemporary of Torigny, in demonstrating the genealogical impediment to a marriage of a bastard of Henry I to a Montgomery descendant specifically calls Joscelina's mother Senfria, and the inheritance by the Montgomerys of large holdings suggests that Joscelina was a significant coheir to her parents, which does not match Wevia's family where two sons would be expected to acquire most of the family land.) Hugh de Montgomery and Joscelina had a son Roger, but contrary to Torigny's statements, he was not the Conquest baron of that name, but instead his father. By a wife possibly named Emma, Roger had: Hugh; Roger (who married Mabel of Belleme and played a significant role in pre-Conquest Normandy); William (who murdered cousin Osbern); Robert, and Gilbert.

Blanche appears to have been more of a nickname. She is better known as
Adelaide, wife of Stephen of Gevaudan, Raymond of Toulouse, Louis V of
France, and William of Provence.

So... This Adelaide was indeed married to Raymond de Toulouse? I've seen this
in only one account--all others do not have Raymond in the genealogy at all
(Guillaume III is recorded as the son Raymond III Pons de Toulouse and Garsinde
de Rouergue).

Yes. This was only recently rediscovered. There is a surviving charter in which Guillaume names his wife Emma and mother Adelaide, and there is every reason to think this was the same Adelaide, known to have married "Count Raimond". The chronology is aufully long to have William a son of Raymond Pons as well, and the near-contemporary Roda Codex gives Raymond Pons no son William, but does give him a son Raymond. These make it evident that a reworking is in order.

When were Adelaide's parents married? I've seen it as 937, when
she was supposedly born in 930, and has Guillaume III in 947.

I don't think there is enough information to provide such a date. Certainly both of them you give are nothing more than guesses, and need to be adjusted. As to William's birth, this date is wrong, based on his mistaken placement as son of Raymond Pons. A more recent guess is about 975.

Who are ALL of her children (with the correct fathers)?

General Notes: Maud/Matilda definitely married Geoffrey of Semur, but the well-respected German source ES, in one of its conflicting pedigrees, has her also marrying Henry, Duke of Burgundy, and having a daughter Aremburga, who was wife of Dalmas I of Semur. This is probably not true, and ES has been shown to be inconsistent and erroneous in giving the spouse(s) of Henry. The spouse of Henry was a widow of Adalbert I King of Italy, and there is still a lot of debate concerning who her father (and mother) were.

"For English readers, the Bouchard article (p261ff) is essential to understanding this confusion in ES. French historians etc have peddled various theories: the ES has noted all of them, hence the internal disagreement.

Some have favoured Leotald of Macon as the father of Gerberga, but Bouchard follows the more reliable ones (F.Lot, R.Poupardin etc) in seeing her as the daughter of Lambert. She lists 3 children of Lambert: Gerberga (m. 1) Adalbert (2) Henry; Matilda (m. Geoffrey), Hugo of Chalon. The sources clearly state that Matilda and Hugo were children of Lambert, but they don't mention the father of Gerberga.

The main argument for Gerberga being the daughter of Leotald is, I think, the fact that her great grandson Otto of Macon (not Otto-William) calls Leotald his _atavus_. The strict classical meaning of this is great-great-great-grandad, which would imply, that Gerberga was Leotald's grandaughter. However most who favour Leotald's parentage, have overlooked this inconvenient detail, and suggested that the term here just means distant ancestor.

The other evidence is the Life of Hugo of Chalon (d.1039) who says that his sister married the duke of Burgundy. This has been seen as Gerberga wife of Henry (d.1002). Those who favour Leotald as her father, say this sister was Matilda, who they say married Henry before she married Geoffrey of Semur. Thus if one rejects Lambert as the father of Gerberga, you have to invent a new wife for Duke Henry. I think ES III, 433-34 has these two marriages. Somewhere else in ES, it even gives this supposed marriage of Matilda and Henry a daughter, Aremburga, the wife of Dalmas I of Semur.

I havn't gone into all the various arguments, or evidence: its best to read Bouchard yourself, and decide whether you agree with her. Personally I prefer her no-nonsense approach, and the works of other notable historians (eg W.Kienast Die Herzogtitel in Frankreich & Deutschland, 1968) agree with her on the father of Gerberga being Lambert."

Another name for Henry was Henry I Duke Of BURGUNDY.

General Notes: At least one source has Henry's 1st? wife as the first husband of Maud/Matilda de Chalon, who later married Geoffrey of Semur. This marriage is disputed by nearly all other sources, but since nobody knows for sure, I am including Maud as Henry's first wife, and assuming a divorce of some sort.

General Notes:
The following post to SGM, 16 May 1997, by Jim Stevens, indicates some of the debate and confusion among the sources as to the parents of Gerberga. I am sticking with Lietaud and Berta for a while, primarily because I have Dalmas as son of Geoffrey & Maud, which would make Gerberga being a sister of Maud highly unlikely. Leo van de Pas has Gerberga as daughter of Lietaud, but by his 1st wife Ermengarde de Chalon (I believe that Gerbergas was born well after 931, as her husband, according to Leo, was b. c936).

This is culled from postings to GEN-MEDIEVAL.

Stuart's "Royalty For Commoners" (94:34) calls her the "heiress of Macon . . . dau. of Othon (says ES, II:59). NOTE: Moriarity, p.37, says parents of Gerberga were Lietaud I, Count of Macon, and Berta. Other sources say LAMBERT, COUNT OF CHALONS and AELIZ."

"To further complicate matters, while both ES ii, 11 and ES ii, 59 list an Othon as father of Gerberga, the revised version of ES ii, 59 (which appears in iii(1)), and ES iii, 439 both list Letalde, Count of Macon as her father. This agrees with Moriarty and Winkhaus. However Joannis and de Saint-Jouan in "Les seize quartiers genealogiques des Capetiens", 469, lists Lambert de Chalon as father of Gerberga.

If one accepts Letalde as father, there is little consensus as to Gerberga's mother. Letalde m. (1) Ermengarde of Chalon; (2) Berta, possibly dau. of Garnier\Warinus, Count of Troyes; and (3) Richilde, dau. of Richard of Autun. Winkhaus lists Ermengarde as Gerberga's mother; Moriarty lists Berta; and ES (in vol. iii) lists either Berta or Richilde.

This probably doesn't help at all."

"Gerberga who m. Adalbert, King of Italy, is more ambiguous. ES iii, 439 lists her as daughter of Letalde, Count of Macon. This agrees with Moriarty and Winkhaus. However Joannis and de Saint-Jouan in "Les seize quartiers genealogiques des Capetians," 469, lists Lambert of Chalon as father of Gerberga.

To totally confuse the matter, ES ii, 59 [rev. in iii(1)] lists as the wife of Adalbert, Gerberga, known as daughter of Leotald of Macon and sister of Hugo of Chalon, Bishop of Auxerre.

To really liven matters up, ES ii, 11 tells us that Henry, Count of Nevers and Duke of Lower Burgundy m. Gerberga of Macon, widow of Adalbert, King of Italy, dau. of Othon.

I have a note that there is a discussion of the evidence for and the debate over the identity of the parents of Gerberge in Constance Brittain Bouchard, "Sword, Mitre and Cloister: Nobility and the Church in Burgundy, 980-1198" (Ithaca, NY: Cornell, 1987)."

Other names for Renaud were Ragenolde, Renaud, Renaud I (Ragnvald) Comte De Roucy & RHEIMS, Ragnvald Of ROUCY, Renaud, and Count De ROUCY.

General Notes:
The ancestry of Renaud is questionable. I give below (1) AR, which suggests Herbert II de Vermandois. (2) Peter Stewart, who rejects AR, and finds a claim of "Ragenold the Dane" as father. (3) Christian Settipani (who I am following) who rejects the Dane in favor of an Anjou connection.

Alberade of Lorraine, m. Renaud, d. 15 Mar 973, Count of Rheims and Roucy. (He is called the 8th son of Herbert II, Count of Vermandois, but is not so given by Pere Anselme; though Anselme does give Hugh, Archbishop of Rheims, as a son of Herbert II). [Ancestral Roots line 151-19]

Note: Alan Wilson names Renaud's father as Rognvald (a Dane) of Burgundy. Leo van de Pas agrees with Alan, giving Ragenold "the Viking" a birth year of c900, which would not agree with Settipani's identification of him nor his ancestry, so I am omitting it.

Subject: Renaud de Roucy

In researching Renaud de Roucy b. abt 0931, Roucy(or Reims), France; d. 15 March 0973 I have encountered two different parentages as follows:

Ragnvald "the Viking" of Denmark b. abt 0885; d. abt 0925 (I know it appears that the son was born 6 years after the death of the father; but this is from the same source.)

Herbert II de Vermandois b. abt 0884, Vermandois; d. 23 February 0943.

There is also a Hubert of Burgundy which is I would bet is Herbert II, although his father is Hubert/Herbert also.

Does anyone have the correct data on this person.

Of course I hope the correct parentage is Herbert II since his lineage carries me back to Charlemagne.

This one is not going to fall your preferred way: for the children of Heribert II (Renaud not among them) see Christian Settipani, *La préhistoire des Capétiens 481 - 987* (Villeneuve d'Ascq, 1993), pp 223-230 and Michel Bur, *La formation du comté de Champagne v. 950 - v. 1150*, Mémoires des Annales de l'Est 54 (Nancy, 1977), appendix I, pp 507-513. For the origins of Renaud, count of Roucy see the latter, pp 134-139 & table 13, and the sources cited.

According to ES III, 675A (which does not identify his father, & cites Bur along with sources he also used) your Renaud occurs as early as 923, built the château at Roucy in 948, and died on 10 May 967 - where did you find the date 15 March 973? Bur suggests he was son of another Renaud, and either a half-brother of count Waldricus (Gaudry), whose son Guy was count of Soissons from 974 to 995, or related to the counts of Anjou.

Perhaps Todd Farmerie will comment on whether there is any evidence that the elder Renaud came from Denmark.

Peter Stewart

- - - later post on the next day (1 Dec 2000) - - -

The claim that the elder Renaud was a Dane depends on identifying him with the Viking raider Ragenold, who according to the annalist Flodoard was invading France at about the same time as Rollo of Normandy. I'm not sure what the most recent opinions are regarding this possible identification.

I have examined lenghtly the family of this person in my paper : 'Les comtes d'Anjou et leurs alliances', in Family Trees and the Roots of Politics, ed. K.S.B. Keats-Rohan, Woodbridge, 1997, p. 211-267, at p. 222-225. I think that the equivalence Renaud of Roucy / Ragenold the Vikink is a false one and that there is no link between the two. Renaud de Roucy is probably the son of another Renaud, named from 924 to 941 in Anjou, and perhaps count of Soissons. This first Renaud could be a nephew of Fulk I of Anjou (+ 942).

General Notes:
Richard I, byname RICHARD "The FEARLESS", French RICHARD SANS PEUR (b. c. 932--d. 996), duke of Normandy (942-996), son of William I Longsword.

Louis IV of France took the boy-duke into his protective custody, apparently intent upon reuniting Normandy to the crown's domains; but in 945 Louis was captured by the Normans, and Richard was returned to his people. Richard withstood further Carolingian attempts to subdue his duchy and, in 987, was instrumental in securing the French crown for his brother-in-law, the Robertian Hugh Capet. [Encyclopedia Britannica CD '97]

942-996: Duke of Normandy [Ref: Monarchs, Rulers, Dynasties and Kingdoms of the World by R.F. Tapsell 1983 p202]

Title of Duke, again, was not likely generally used by Richard I or his son Richard II, whose official documents style themselves "count of Rouen." Later eleventh century documents use the term Duke - and adopted for historical record. [Ref: William The Conqueror, The Norman Impact Upon England by David C. Douglas 1964]

'Richard I and his new settler in-laws of the 960's were the winners who lasted. In becoming so they learned (and taught) two principles of success that marked them off from the Franks. They learned the value of a strong centralizing chieftain who could at least freeze the status quo once his own local chieftains had taken what they wanted. The more successful he was, the more chiefs attached themselves to him for just this: with his warranty, backed by his chieftains, their defeated enemies could not recover by violence what had been taken from them by violence. Thus were the Norman dukes 'settlers of quarrels.' Fearlessness was the necessary quality in such a coordinating chieftain, and Richard I, who has no encomiast of his deeds, has at least this sobriquet, 'the Fearless' Those who were great fighters and the ruthlessly, selectively violent, were the great centralizers among the threatened and rapacious Norse.' [Ref: Predatory Kinship and the Creation of Norman Power, 840-1066 by Eleanor Searle, University of California Press, 1988 -Charlotte's Web Geneology http://www.charweb.org/gen/rjones/d0042/g0000019.htm#I238]

"RICHARD I, "the Fearless", Duke of Normandy, b. Fecamp ca. 933, named father's h. 29 May 942, d. 20 Nov. 996; m. (1) (Danish wife) Gunnor, d. 1027 or 1031, dau. of the forester of Arques, but betrothed ca. 945 & event. m. (2) 960 to Emma, d. ca. 968, dau. Hugh Capet ..., Count of Paurs. After Emma's death, m. (Christian marriage) Gunnor to legit. their children. ... By Gunnor, Richard had [RICHARD II]." [Ref: Weis AR7:110-111]

"When in 942 William was murdered at the instigation of Count Arnulf of Flanders, his son Richard, still a minor, succeeded him. Louis IV and Hugh the Great each tried to seize Normandy, and Louis took charge of Richard. He then ensconced himself at Rouen and Hugh took Bayeux, which still had a Scandinavian leader called Sictric. Richard escaped from his custody at Laon, retook Rouen, and called on another Viking leader, Harald of the Bassin, for help. The Normans under Richard were able to re-establish their autonomy and from 947 Richard governed in relative peace. In 965 he swore allegiance to the Carolingian king Lothar at Gisors. Richard's official marriage was to Emma, daughter of Hugh the Great; they had no children, but by his common-law wife Gunnor, a Dane, he had many. Richard II, son of Gunnor and Richard I, succeeded his father in 996, another son Robert was archbishop of Rouen from 989 to 1037 and Emma their daughter became queen of England on her marriage to Aethelred, a position she maintained after his death in 1016 by marrying Cnot (sic: Cnut/Knut...Curt). Gunnor's nephews and other relatives furthermore formed the core of the new aristocracy which developed in the course of the eleventh century. Unfortunately we know little about the internal organization and history of Normandy until the reign of Richard II, and this falls outside our period." [Ref: The Frankish Kingdoms under the Carolingians 751-987, by Rosamond McKitterick, London & NY (Longman) 1983 p238-239]

During the minority of his (William Long-Sword) successor, Duke Richard, King Louis IV -- who was making an expedition into Normandy -- was captured by the inhabitants of Rouen and handed over to Hugh the Great. From this time onwards the dukes of Normandy began to enter into relations with the dukes of France; and in 958 Duke Richard married Hugh the Great's daughter. He died in 996.

General Notes:
Curt Hofemann, [email protected], in a post-em, wrote:

Apparently she was not "de Crepon" & her parentage is unknown:

The name of the father of Gunnor is unknown. Herbastus is derived from the name of her brother Herfast/Arfastus, but is unsupported. [Ref: Todd A Farmerie <[email protected]> message to Gen-Medieval 6 Nov 1996]

The greater part of our information about Gunnor and her relations is derived from those additions to the History of William of Jumieges for which Robert de Rotigny is responsible. It is Robert who preserved the story of how Richard I of Normandy became enamoured of the beautiful Senfrie, wife of one of his foresters, and how Senfrie contrived to substitute her sister Gunnor for herself, to the Duke's ultimate satisfaction. [Ref The Sisters and Nieces of Gunnor, Duchess of Normandy by G.H. White in the Genealogist, New Series 1921 v37 p57]

Parentage of Gunnor and her siblings is unknown. While some sources call her father Herfastus, this was in fact the name of her brother. She has also been claimed as a daughter of the Danish royal family, but there is no evidence for this, and the context of her coming to attention of Richard I and the family's subsequent rise to power militates against her being a royal daughter. Douglas argued, based on the donations of brother Arfast to the monastery of St. Pere, that the root of the family was in the Cotetin region of Normandy, but van Houts has suggested that the Cotetin land was granted to Arfast, rather than inherited by him. Thus we are left with the more ambiguous statement of Torigny and others that she was a member of a Norman family of Danish origins. [Ref: Todd A Farmerie <[email protected]> message to Gen-Medieval 5 Jan 1997]

Gunnora ... was not "de Crepon", nor was she daughter of Herbastus de Crepon of Denmark - her brother Herfastus/Arfast appears to have received Crepon only after Gunnora took up with Richard I, and thus the family was not originally from there. Likewise, while she is said to be of a noble family of Danish ancestry, it is not stated that her father was from Denmark (the family probably arrived with Rollo, in the generation of her (unknown) grandfather. [Ref: Todd A Farmerie <[email protected]> message to Gen-Medieval 28 Jul 2000]

Research note 1: Was her father Herfast de CREPON or King Haraldblaafand of DENMARK? There is a lack of consensus on this. -Charlotte's Web Geneology http://www.charweb.org/gen/rjones/d0042/g0000020.htm#I239

Research note 2: father: Harald I Blaatand, Bluetooth, King of Denmark [Ref: McBride2 (possibly citing Wurts)]

My notes on Gunnora:
This is the same Gunnora known as Gunnora of Crepon, but both are of little value. Gunnora was NOT of Denmark. Some inventive genealogist somewhere along the line decided to make her daughter of Harald Bluetooth, but there is no basis for this, and what we know of her indicates it is not really a possibility worthy of consideration. Her nephew later was called "of Crepon" but he likely gained his posessions through Gunnora's marriage to the Duke, rather than this representing the original home of the clan.

What can be said of Gunnora's parents? Nothing She was not daughter of Harfast, as (too) often stated. Her family was likely of the minor Norman nobility, since her oldest sister was married to a forester at the time Richard first bumped into the girls. That's it.

Richard I of Normandy first bedded, and later married Gunnora, whose ancestry is entirely unknown. She is sometimes said to be daughter of a King of Denmark, but this is incorrect. [taf]

There are several things going on here. First of all, the father of Gunnora and siblings is not known. Attempts to name him Herbastus probably originated in confusion with her brother. Second, Gunnora had three sisters, Senfria/Senfreda, Wevia, and (Avelina). The first married an otherwise unknown forester. The latter two are confused by our two sources, one claiming that it was Wevia who married Osbern, and the other that Wevia married Turold of Pont Audemer, and by deduction, (Avelina) married Osbern. We know that Osbern married one of them, and a recent analysis suggests that it was Wevia for nomenclatural reasons. (Specifically, Turold and wife had a granddaughter named Duvelina, and it is hyposthesized that she was named for her grandmother, and that Duvelina is the authentic name of the sister, rather than Avelina. Finally, in which generation was Osbern's. This is unambiguous. She was sister of Gunnora and the others. There is no source before recent times that claims otherwise. There are two probable origins for the error that she was niece of Gunnora. First, due to the error in naming her father Herfastus, someone aware that this was the name of Gunnora's brother assumed then that Avelina's father was Gunnora's brother (the name of Gunnora's father being unknown, and probably unknowable). The second possibility is a confusion of uncle and nephew. Harfastus/Arfast had a son Osbern of Crepon, and perhaps someone confused this man with Osbern of Bolbec. Still, we know for certain that Osbern of Bolbec married a sister of Gunnora. [Ref: Dave Utzinger <[email protected]> message to Gen-Medieval 29 Jul 2000]

General Notes:
The following information (and advice) is contained in a post-em from Curt Hofemann, [email protected]:

Hie thee to Stewart Baldwin's "Henry Project" for scholarly research on this person (& much more):

http://sbaldw.home.mindspring.com/hproject/henry.htm

Baldwin III ruled briefly as joint count with his father Arnulf I, but died before his father. Count Baldwin's name appears in lists of abbots of St. Bertin [Monumenta Germaniae Historica, Scriptores series, 13, 391, 607], and he would appear to have held that office for a short period before his death. [Ref: Henry Project]

Possible illegitimate son (status uncertain):
Ascelin (Azelin) or Albert de Tronchiennes, bishop of Paris, 1016-1018.
The History of the Bishops of Cambrai states that Ascelin (or Albert, as he is called in some sources) was an illegitimate son of count Baldwin of Flanders. [Gesta Episcoporum Cameracensium, MGH SS 7, 448]. If this is accurate, Baldwin III would be the only count of Flanders named Baldwin who would make a chronologically feasible father for Ascelin. [Léon Vanderkindere, La Formation Territoriale des Principautes Belge au Moyen Age (2 vols., 2nd ed., Brussels, 1902, reprinted 1981) 1, 293], lists Ascelin as a son of Baldwin, without citing a source, but neither Erich Brandenburg, Die Nachkommen Karls des Großen (Frankfurt, 1964) norKarl Ferdinand Werner, 'Die Nachkommen Karls des Großen bis um das Jahr 1000 (1.-8. Generation)', Karl der Große 4 (1967) mention him. His biography in Dictionnaire de Biographie Française 3, 1238-40 states that he was very probably the son of Arnulf I, and then contradicts this statement by calling Arnulf II a brother of Ascelin. The DBF article makes Ascelin a provost of the monastery of Saint-Marie in Tronchiennes as early as 951, which, if true, would chronologically rule out Ascelin's affiliation as a son of Baldwin III. However, this date is suspicious, as it is 65 years before Ascelin became bishop, and the next event mentioned in the biography is in 995. [Ref: Henry Project]

Falsely attributed daughters:
Bertha (existence doubtful), m. Aymar, count of Genève (existence doubtful). [P. Anselme, Histoire Genealogique et Chronologique de la Maison Royale de France, ... (1726), 2, 715. She has also been falsely attached to Baldwin's father Arnulf I.]

In 1012 Thorkell the Tall is said to have intervened to attempt to save the life of Archbishop Aelfeah who was being held for ransom. The archbishop would not allow the ransom to be paid, so at a drunken assembly at Greenwich they pelted him with bones and the heads of cattle until some more merciful ruffian crashed his axe against the old man's skull. Thorkell offered everything he
possessed or might hope to lay his hands on for Aelfeah's life -- 'save only my ship'. His failure to do so is thought to explain why on the dispersal of the Danish host later in the year he transferred his allegiance from Svein to King Ethelred, taking 45 ships and their crews with him.

It is likewise felt that Thorkell's defection is what brought Svein to England the following summer. Svein met no resistance until he reached London's ever-valiant citizens strengthened by Ethelred's bodyguard and the crews of Thorkell the Tall. Ethelred eventually submitted when he had no ally except Thorkell. [A History ..., pp. 368-9]

In 1023 Thorkell joined Knut. Since 1012 he had given faithful service to Ethelred. After Ethelred's punitive expedition against Lindsey in 1014 Thorkell and his mercenaries were given a payment of 21,000 pounds, and it is hard to account for his prompt abandonment of a restored patron. It has been suggested that he had a slain brother to avenge upon the English, but Thorkell's mainspring was self-interest; he could read the times, and he never read them better than when he sailed for Denmark with the 9 ships prepared to follow him and secured employment with Knut. [A History ..., p. 370]

Received East Anglia for his contribution to Knut's submission of England. From 1017 until 1020 he appears to have been the foremost of Knut's lay subjects; his name is on charters and he is named as accompanying the king on various important occasions. The most impressive witness to his standing during these first years is that he is the only magnate named in the statement of legal
policy issued by Knut after his return from Scandinavia in 1020. Then in 1021 he was outlawed; a reconciliation took place in Denmark in 1023 on terms which suggest that Thorkell was still a man of immense power: he was made Knut's regent in Denmark and the guardian of his son Hordaknut, but thereafter disappears from history. [A History of the Vikings, p. 372]

In 1018/19 when Knut's brother Harald, king of Denmark, died, Knut crossed the North Sea to make sure of the succession. Thorkell the Tall remained in England, and perhaps it was now that certain earlier ambitions were reborn in him and led to his banishment in 1021. There is a complete lack of direct evidence, but one reading of Thorkell's shifts and vicissitudes is that he never quite gave up hope of some gigantic prize of his own, in England or Scandinavia, as opportunity offered. In other words he was a craggy and cunning survival of the old-style viking who looked after himself well until kings came in and spoiled the business. One explanation of Knut's placing his fleet off the Isle of Wight in 1022 is that he was guarding the realm against some heavy stroke by the outlawed Thorkell. At the reconciliation in Denmark in 1023 Knut seems to have brought one of Thorkell's sons back to England with him before trusting him with Denmark and Hordaknut. That Thorkell died within a year or two would be no grief to his royal master. [A History ..., p. 373]

In 1016 Cnut took hold of England and divided the whole kingdom into four provinces and gave East Anglia to Thurkill as his viceroy. East Anglia afterwards continued to be governed by its earl, and was part of Harold's earldom and later of Gyrth's, but it was not until the 14th century that the
earldom of Suffolk was separated from that of Norfolk or East Anglia. [Victoria History of Suffolk, p. 164]

Thyra married Thorkell "The Tall" Sprakaleg STYRJORNSSON,²⁷¹⁸ ^,2719 ^,2720 ^,2721 ^,2722 son of Styr-Bjorn The Strong OLAFSSON Prince Of Sweden and Thyra HARALDSDOTTIR Queen Of Norway. Thorkell was born about 960 in Uppsala, Sweden and died about 1023 in East Anglia, England about age 63. Another name for Thorkell was Thurkill.

128710214806. Malcolm II Mackenneth King Of SCOTLAND,⁴¹⁵ ^,1416 ^,2100 ^,2723 ^,2724 son of Kenneth (Cinaed) II King Of SCOTS and Miss De LEINSTER, was born in 954 in Scotland ^¹⁴¹⁶ and died on 25 November 1034 in Glamis, Angus, Scotland (Murdered) ^{¹⁴¹⁶^,2725} at age 80.

General Notes:
Malcolm took advantage of the fact that the English were preoccupied with Danish raids and marched south, winning the Battle of Carham against the Angles in 1018 and thereby regaining Lothian. Thirteen years later King Canute invaded Scotland and forced Malcolm to submit to him. However, Canute seems to have recognized Malcolm's possession of Lothian.

After Malcolm II's reign, Scottish succession was based on the principle of direct descent. Previously, succession was determined by tanistry - during a king's lifetime an heir was chosen and known as "tanaiste rig" (second to the king).

Noted events in his life were:

• Ruled: 1005-1034.

Malcolm married Aelgifu Sigurdsdottir Of OSSORY in 1st Wife. Aelgifu was born about 962 in Ossory, Ireland and died after 984.

General Notes: The following information is contained in a post-em by Curt Hofemann, [email protected]:

What I have in mind is her (Katherine Keats-Rohan) article on Poppa, mother of William Longsword of Normandy, which appeared in The American Genealogist a few years back. Basically, she suggested that Juhel/Judicael Berenger was son of a Count Berenger, named by Dudo and William of Juminges, and that both this Count Berenger and William Longsword were maternal grandchildren of an Earlier Frankish Count Berenger. I have seen it speculated (i.e. by Guillotel) that Judicael Berenger's paternal grandfather might have been a son or grandson of King Erispoe, but there was little evidence with which to place him. [Ref: TAF 21 Nov 2000]

Note: I originally had Juhel as brother of Poppa, but the above reference to Katherine Keats-Rohan indicates that Juhel is probably nephew of Poppa, being son of another Berenger Count. The dates would certainly indicate that Juhel and William Longsword were in the same generation.

Judicael married Gerberge. Gerberge was born about 925 in France.

Children from this marriage were:

64355107440 i. Conan I Duke Of BRITTANY Comte De Rennes (born about 950 in Rennes, Ille-Et-Vilaine, Bretagne, France - died on 29 June 992 in Killed)

Gerberge married Judicael (Juhel) II Berenger Comte De RENNES. Judicael was born about 910 in Rennes, Ille-Et-Vilaine, Bretagne, France and died in 970 about age 60.

128710214882. Geoffrey I Grisegnelle Comte D' ANJOU,⁴¹⁵ ^,1601 ^,1746 ^,2727 ^,2728 ^,2729 son of Foulques II "Le Bon" Comte D' ANJOU Count Of Anjou and Countess Of Anjou Gerberga De GATINAIS, was born on 11 November 938 in Anjou/Pays-DE-La-Loire, France and died on 21 July 987 in (Slain In Battle) ^{²⁷²⁹^,2730} at age 48.

Other names for Adelaide were Adelaide Comtessa De CHALONS, and²⁷³³ Adelaide De TROYES.

General Notes:
Turton names her Adelaide de Chalons, daughter of Thebault de Chalons. I believe this is a mistake based on the name given by her marriage to her first husband, Lambert d'Auton, Count of Chalons.

-------------------

The following was contained in a post-em by Curt Hofemann, [email protected]:

Actually it's even uglier than that. ES indicates that Geoffrey married Adelaide de Vermandois & upon her death, married her widowed mother Adelaide de Burgundy, heiress of Chalons. It also states the same mother & dau also married Lambert, Comte de Chalon-sur-Saone, Vicomte de Dijon.

To see discussions of the absurdity of this go to google - groups - soc.genealogy.medieval & use keyword: grisgonelle

The following archived messages give a good synopsis of the problem:
Mardi Carter 26 Mar 1998

To date I've not seen a definitive solution.

Note: I have read some of the postings. They seem to indicate that Geoffrey m. this Adelaide (although she is sometimes named "Adele de Donzy" and possibly another Adelaide as well, and that this Adelaide may not have married Lambert d'Autun, Count of Chalons?). The part about the mother & daughter marrying the same people is (as it should be) discounted. I am removing her marriage to Lambert d'Autun, making his wife Adelaide of Burgundy.

Noted events in her life were:

• Alt. Death: Alt. Death, Abt 975. ²⁷³¹

Lambert was born in 924 in Autun, Saone-Et-Loire, Bourgogne, France and died from 22 February 978 to 979 in Chalon-Sur-Saone, Saone-Et-Loire, Bourgogne, France ^²⁷³⁴ at age 54. Another name for Lambert was Lambert De CHALON.

128710214884. William I "Longsword" Duke Of NORMANDY,⁴¹⁵ ^,1444 ^,1601 ^,1746 ^,2078 ^,2735 son of Rollo Rognvaldsson 1St Duke Of NORMANDY and Papia FALAISE Duchess Of Normandy, was born about 891 in Rouen, Seine-Inferieure, Normandy, France ^²⁷³⁶ and died on 17 December 942 in Killed At Picardy, France ^{¹⁴³⁶^,2078^,2738} about age 51. The cause of his death was Murdered 943. Other names for William were Longue Épée=Long Sword, Guillaume I, and Dec De NORMANDIE.

General Notes:
William Longsword succeeded Rollo in 933. He was the son of one of Rollo's Frankish Christian concubines, Popa, the daughter of the vanquished Count of Bayeux, and was himself, therefore, an example of the rapid assimilation of the conquerors.

In 933, William managed to take back Cotentin and Avranchin from the Bretons. King Ralph (923-936) helped him in this enterprise and in exchange received the homage due from a vassal. However, it was the Count of Rouen who actually held the power in the vanquished territories.

At the same time William needed to confirm his control over the Irish-Norwegian elements established in Cotentin and Bessin. It would appear that the rebels were keen to retain their peaceful roots, and the Scandinavian traditions of organisation based on a land holding free of the control of a political authority. They were thus ill-disposed to enter into the bonds of dependency which were developing in Frankish society and which the new count did not hesitate to turn to his own advantage.
In the Frankish kingdom William became involved in the conflicts facing the leaders of the aristocracy and the Carolingian King Louis IV (936-954) under the gaze of the powerful king of Germany, Otto. The Count of Rouen played on the competition between the two authorities to which, in theory, he was answerable, the King of France, and his direct overlord Hugh the Great, heir to the prerogatives of the Marquis of Neustria, Duke of the Franks. In general William allied himself with Hugh the Great, but in 940 he provisionally changed sides and obtained from Louis IV the renewal of the concession granted to Rollo. In 942 he was killed in an ambush set by the Count of Flanders who was hostile to the rise in Norman power.

From the second generation, William Longsword had been the first authentically Christian Norman prince, notably supporting the restoration of the abbey of Jumièges. He won the hand in marriage of the daughter of the Count of Vermandois and thus entered into the society of the most powerful lords of the kingdom.

General Notes:
Curt Hofemann, in a post-em, indicates many people have doubts about Sprota's noble birth:

Sprota [Ref: ES III:694A] note: I have numerous notes on her (lack of) ancestry which I think I've previously provided. If I've not, let me know & I will gladly share them... Curt

Raoul/Rudolf/Ralph, count of Ivry, is the uterine brother of Richard I of Normandy, son of William. ("This was given by Dudo based on information supplied to him by Raoul himself, so is perfectly reliable", as Todd's mentioned.) But my understanding has always been that Raoul was the son of Sprota/Esporta de Bretagne/Senlis not by William Longsword but by Asperling/Esperlingus/Eperling. [Ref: Christopher Nash message to Gen-Medieval 15 Apr 2002 discussing an error in KSB Keats-Rohan's Domesday People. TAF (Todd A Farmerie) in response confirmed the above] note: she was NOT de Senlis and as far as "de Bretagne" see below... Curt

While this speculation is certainly possible, the alternative is likewise possible, that being that she was just some cute looking Breton peasant that William took a liking to. That, however, provides no opportunity for further genealogical research, so tends to pale in comparison to the possibility of attaching her to some noble house. My gut reaction is that, considering her son Ralph (d'Ivry) was one of the main sources of the norman historian Dudo, yet no such important connection was mentioned, she likely did not have any hereditary recomendations (sic) when chosen by Longsword. [Ref: TAF 9 Dec 2002]

Another name for Godiva was Godiva Of BUCKINGHAM Lady Godiva.

General Notes:
This is the famous Lady Godiva. She complained constantly to her husband that the taxes were too high on the townspeople of Coventry. He finally said that he would reduce the taxes if she would ride nude through the marketplace on market day. She arranged for all of the men to remain inside and covered her entire body, except her legs, with her hair. Supposedly one person named Tom did not remain inside during her ride and became known as "Peeping Tom". Leofric eliminated all taxes, except for one on horses. During Edward I's reign, a check was made and the only tax in Coventry was one on horses. Since 1678 the town of Coventry still celebrates the ride during its annual fair.

Warwickshire - the Domesday Book in 1086

Perhaps one of the most famous early personalities of the period was Lady Godiva (Godwa or Godgifu) who allegedly rode naked the streets of Coventry in Warwickshire as a protest against her husband's high taxes on the people of the city. This husband, Earl Leofric, a Saxon Earl of Mercia, died an old man in 1057, nine years before the Norman Conquest. They seemingly had issue, at least one daughter, who married into the Malet family. 29 years after her husband's death, Lady (Countess) Godiva held many estates in Warwickshire, including Coventry, as revealed by the Domesday Book in 1086. Chronologically, either Leofric had married a child bride, or Lady Godivawas a very old woman at the time of the Domesday Survey in 1086. The former is the most likely. The lordships bestowed on Lady Godiva in Warwickshire by William the Conqueror in 1066 were considerable, probably the result of an alliance struck either with Leofric or Lady Godiva before the Conquest. Since, Lady Godiva was a wealthy woman in 1057, and still wealthy after the Conquest, it is not likely she displayed herself in protest after that date, since she would have been protesting her own taxation. She apparently inherited her lands and titles in 1057. Therefore, the event in question probably took place, if at all, several years before 1057, when, young and innocent, the impatient and passionate Lady Godiva, appalled by her aging husband's despotic ways, leapt on her nag and took to the streets of Coventry in all her naked glory, perhaps too young to realize that within a few short years she would be in full control of all the taxation of her husband's considerable holdings at the time of his death, holdings which she carried through to at least 1086.

General Notes: GEOFFREY, DUKE OF BRITTANY, married Hawise, daughter of Richard I, DUKE OFNORMANDY, and died in 1008, leaving two sons, Alan and Eudon. During their mother's lifetime the two brothers seem to have been joint rulers of Brittany, but on her death, on 21 February 1034, dissensions broke out between them; peace was restored by a settlement under which Eudon received a territory corresponding roughly to the dioceses of Dol, St. Mialo, St. Brieuc and Tréguier, reduced in the hands of his successors to the two last-named dioceses, while Alan retained the rest of Brittany. After the death of Alan in 1040 Eudon seized the government of Brittany to the exclusion of his nephew Conan, who recovered it in 1057. Eudon died 7 January 1079. He married Orguen, whose parentage is unknown. [Complete Peerage X:779-81, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

----------------------------------------

I will have to research where I picked up that Geoffrey died in Nantes (maybe he was one his way to the Holy Lands or on his way back). The following information, indicating that Geoffrey died on pilgrimage, came from Curt Hofemann, [email protected]:

Not sure whether you are saying that Weis & CP give the date & place or just the date & that your source of the place is from elsewhere, but please consider:

... in 1008, Geoffrey of Brittany had likewise set forth on pilgrimage to the Holy Land. [Ref: Wm Conqueror p35]
On Geoffrey's departure in 1008 on the pilgrimage during which he died, his two sons Alan III and Eudo, then of tender age, were left under the tutelage of their Norman mother... [Ref: Wm Conqueror p29]

Prof. Douglas indcates that Geoffrey died either on his way to/from or in the Holy Land. I am interested to know your source for his place of death. Thanks.

Another name for Hildegarde was Hildegarde De GAND.

General Notes: Turton names her Hildegarde de Gand, daughter of Wichmann Comte de Gand, fl. c. 949.

---------------------

I originally had Hildegarde de Flanders m. Wichman, Count de Gand, and their daughter Hildegarde de Gand m. Dietrich. According to sources quoted by Curt, below, Hildegarde de Gand & Hildegarde de Flanders are one and the same person; so I have changed Hildegarde to be daughter of Arnold Count of Flanders. Todd Farmerie in a post to SGM, 13 Mar 2001, stated that it was Luitgarde of Flanders, another daughter of Arnold Count of Flanders who married Wichmann.

Hi Jim,
ES II:5 lists b. ca 934.
ES II:2, 5 lists d. 10 Apr 990 & Moriarty lists 990.

ES II:2 makes her the daughter of Arnold I Count of Flanders (not granddaughter).

Todd A. Farmerie <[email protected]> in a message to Gen-Medieval 13 Mar 2001: mother unk, not Adele of Vermandois

A somewhat new, very worthwhile website by Stewart Baldwin is the Henry Project at:
http://sbaldw.home.mindspring.com/hproject/henry.htm
which states:
No direct evidence is known for the suggestion that Hildegard was Arnulf's daughter. However, the onomastic evidence for such an affiliation is strong, given that Hildegard had sons named Arnulf and Egbert, the latter of which is an Anglo-Saxon name that had only been recently introduced into the family of Flemish counts through Arnulf's mother. However, chronological considerations make it highly unlikely that Hildegard was born late enough to be a daughter of Adele of Vermandois. Since the chronology leaves plenty of room for an earlier marriage of Arnulf (who was probably in his 40's when he married Adele), it is most likely that Hildegard was born to an earlier marriage.

The following information was supplied by Curt Hofemann, [email protected] (Note that Stewart Baldwin discounted the pedigree outlined below where Giselbert was 3rd husband of Cunegonde and father of Siegfried; among other reasons were that Reignar being husband of Ermentrude would account for many of the onomastic evidence; I have chosen to represent that relationship instead of a 3rd husband for Cunegonde):

Birth: ABT 890 in Aachen, Rheinland, Prussia

Not to flog a dead horse, but France did not exist at this time & "Rheinland, Prussia" did not exist until nearly 1,000 years later. Until 923, when Charles the Simple was deposed, it was part of the kingdom of the West Franks & after 923 it was part of the kingdom of the East Franks under Henry I of Saxony.

My notes (sorry, quite long) on Cunegonde/Kunegunde gdau of Louis II king of West Franks:

Enkelin von Kg Ludwig d Stammler [Ref: ES VI:127] (granddaughter of King Louis the Stammerer...Curt)

Kunigunde (dau. of Ermentrud dau. of Louis II) married twice - first before 910 to the count palatine Wigerich (d. before 919) and secondly in about 920 to Richwin (d.923) count of Verdun. A charter of Charles III of 911/15 to Wigerich (comes Widricus) names W's wife and one of his sons, Adelbero, whom the king says is his (the king's) nephew (nostri nepotis). [Ref: Richard Borthwick 28 Mar 1998]

To my knowledge, there is no documentary evidence for the identity of Kunigund's father. Reginar I, count of Hainaut (father of Giselbert, duke of Lorraine and son of another Giselbert), has been suggested as one possibility, apparently for onomastic reasons. (Kunigund had a grandson named Reginar, and a son named Giselbert.) [Ref: Stewart Baldwin 16 Mar 2002]

Kunigunde, who was married twice: first with the Pfalzgrafen Wigerich, count in the Bidgau (+ 916 or 918), in second with the count Richwin von Verdun (murdered 923). She is the foundress of two family trunks. [Ref: The controversy over the marriage of the count Otto von Hammerstein, A consequence-fraught church-political decline in discipline by Dr. Johannes Jacobi http://www.burg-hammerstein.de/pageID_746207.html]

Cunegonde, dau. of Ermentrude, herself a daughter of King Louis II (king of France) 9892, married 1) to Wigeric, count of the Palace of Charles III, + between 916 and 919; married 2) to Ricuin, count of Verdun. She had 7 children, 3 of whom were born to Wigeric, namely Adalbero, bishop of Metz, Liutgarde and Gozlin [Ref: Thierry Stasser 18 Nov 2002 citing: Michel Parisse, genealogie de la Maison d'Ardenne, in Publications de la section historique de l'Institut grand Ducal de Luxembourg, vol. 95, 1981, pp 17-40]

Research note: speculation flws:
A paper was brought to my attention that deals with Siegfried of Luxembourg and his origin. It's "Wer Waren die Eltern des Grafen Sigfrid? Eine neue Hypothese zum Ursprung des ersten Luxemburger Grafenhauses", by René Klein, published in Annuaire - A.L.G.H. - Jahrbuch 1998, page 8-27, with 14 geanlogical charts.

The author reflects on the earlier efforts to shed light on Siegfried's origins. Investigators like Depoin (1904, 1907), Kimpen (1954), Brière (1962), Haag (1963), Settipani (1994), Wolf (1994) and the resulting consangineus (im-)possibilities. Then he turns to the known evidence regarding Siegfried and his kin.

With the identity of his mother as Kunigunde as a starting point he looks at the Latin terminology like "patruus", "germanus" and "frater and their classic and medieval meanings, and the evidence from the contemporary records. An evaluation of this leads to his conclusion that Kunigunde married 3 times:

1. Wigerich (c.907), with Adalbero, Gozlin and Liutgard as children,
2. Richwin + 923,
3. Giselbert + 939, duke of Lorraine 928-939.

For Giselbert it was his first marriage. This must have been in 923 or the following year. From this marriage Friedrich, Giselbert and Sigebert/Sigfrid must stem. In 929 Kunigunde must have died and king Heinrich I gave him his daughter Gerberga (just in the marriageble age) as wife. From this marriage came a son Heinrich and 2 or 3 daughters: Wiltrud, Alberada and possible Hedwig. Giselbert drowned in 939 and Geberga was married in the same year to the French Ludwig IV. [Ref: Hans Vogels <[email protected]> 17 Apr 2003 message to Gen-Medieval] Note: Giselbert = ID 4575... Curt

What is the evidence put forward for this? It is not hard to guess that part of the argument will be onomastic (e.g., the presence of the name Giselbert among Siegfried's relations). However, even if you accept the presence of the name as indicating a relationship, that is certainly not enough to nail down any specific connection. What other evidence is advanced for the claim? [Ref: Stewart Baldwin]

Stewart,
René Klein mentions 5 consequences from this choice:
1. Onomastic. Its gives a good explanation for the names Giselbert in de next three generations (brother, son and grandson of Siegfried). The name Reginar for a son of Gozlin can be explained as following: Giselbert was the step-father of Gozlin so Giselberts own brother Reginar could therefore be the godfather of the stepgrandson.

2. The marriage between Friedrich (Siegfrieds brother) and Beatrix, the sister of Hugo Capet en Hedwig, sister of Geberga and Otto I becomes clear. Friedrich had met the princess at the French court because his stepmother Geberga married king Ludwig IV. And Friedrich was a relative of the said Ludwig IV by means of his mother Kunigunde, daughter of Irmentrud, daughter of Ludwig II, the grandfather of Ludwig IV.

3. The relationship between empress Kunigunde, daughter of Siegfried, and empress Agnes, the wife of Heinrich III as "consanguineae" can be satisfyingly explained. Agnes was a daughter of Irmentrud, daughter of Alberade, daugther of duke Giselbert, the father of Siegfried.

4. It also sheds light on the reason why in 1017 at the marriage of Mathilde, descendant of Gozlin, with Reginar V of Hennegau, descendant of Reginar (+ 915), emperor Heinrich II the objections - of being too consanguineous - of bishop Gerhard of Cambrai did not check.

Renn (1941) tried to determine the consanguinity between them through Reginar, the aledged husband of Irmintrud and father of Kunigunde, but came to a forbidden 4th degree. He suspected that the emperors motives to stay silent were political.

In the hypothesis of Klein both marriage partners were just relatives in the 5th degree:
Duke Otto of Sachsen-Uda-Uda-Godfrid-Hermann-Mathilde x 1017
Duke Otto of Sachsen-Heinrich I-Hedwig-Hugo Capet-Hedwig-Reginar V x 1017
Heinrich II spoke out energeticly at the synod of Diedenhofen 1004/5 for a ban on marriages in the 3th and 4th degree and got his way. His suggestion to stick to the canonical 7 th degree as being the allowed degree of consanguity did not get through. The marriage of 1017 was of such a degree that he did not need to act.

5. After all those earlier attempts the mysterious adressing of Sigfrid as "imperatorius frater" has now been solved. Giselbert, Sigfrids father, had secondly married Geberga, the sister of Otto I. The children of this marriage were therefore the "stiefgeschwister" (halfbrother/sisters) of Sigfrid. He was thus a "stiefvetter" (stepcousin) of emperor Otto II. As we have seen before, that the meaning "vetter" (cousin) can be translated with "frater" (brother), and that often no difference was made, just like today, between halfbrothers and full brothers, the adressing of Sigfrid can be translated as imperial stepcousin. This thus explains why there is no mentioning of Sigfrid as a relative of the Ottonen (no actual kinship existed) and why nevertheless Sigfrid and his son Sigfrid stood in a special way to the Ottonen. Therefore Kunigunde could marry Heinrich II without any obstacles regarding Church Law.

One can argue that duke Giselbert could not marry Kunigunde. His grandfather Giselbert kidnapped and married in 846 a daughter of emperor Lothar I.

Ludwig I- Lothar I- N.N.x Giselbert-Reginar-Giselbert x Ludwig I-Karl-Ludwig II-Irmintrud-Kunigunde x
Against this objection one can point out that in the charters the father of Reginar never is mentioned by name. Furthermore it is not definitely decided if we have to accept Reginar (+ 876) or Giselbert, earl in the "pagus Masau", as grandfather of duke Giselbert. Others are against the association of the earl of the "pagus Masau" with Giselbert the kidnapper. If ever this can be proved, it still does not need to be an argument against my hypothesis.

The synode of Diedenhofen was in 1004/5 and Giselbert and Kunigunde were married around 924. As the synode spoke of abuses, the marriages in the 3th and 4th degree must have been more frequently as the sources tell.

This according to René Klein. I hope my translation did justice to the text of the paper. [Ref: Hans Vogels <[email protected]> 22 Apr 2003 message to Gen-Medieval]

In #3 of your post today, you stated concerning Agnes, wife of the Emperor Henry III, that
"The relationship between empress Kunigunde, daughter of Siegfried, and empress Agnes, the wife of Heinrich III as "consanguineae" can be satisfyingly explained. Agnes was a daughter of Irmentrud, daughter of Alberade, daugther of duke Giselbert, the father of Siegfried."

This construction conflates Agnes of Poitou, daughter of Guillaume V of Aquitaine and wife of Henry III, with her mother Agnes of the Franche-Comte, daughter of Otto-William of the Franche-Comte and Irmintrud/Ermentrude de Roucy. [Ref: John P. Ravilious 22 Apr 2003]

Research note: Kunigunde von Francia married (1) Wigeric von Aachen; married (2) Eberhard IV von Nordgau; married (3) Richwin de Verdun. [Ref: Utz 4 Jan 1999 citing: Royalty for Commoners & Weis AR7] Note: Eberhard IV was her son-in-law in most reliable sources (which RfC definitely is not)... my opinion only... Curt

Research note 1: brother: Duke Gieselbert of Lotharingia [Ref: Donald Jackman 7 Dec 2000]

Research note 2: Citing Renn, it is stated that the father of Wigerich's wife Kunigund was probably Reginar of Hainaut (father of duke Giselbert of Lorraine), called a a "well-supported reconstruction" by Professor Jackman. He also makes an onomastic argument that Siegfried's (of Luxemburg, son of Cunigunde) wife Hadwige was a daughter of Giselbert of Lorraine. Now, since it is not reasonable to suppose that Siegfried and Hadwige were first cousins, it is impossible for both of the above reconstructions to be true if Siegfried was Kunigund's son... Although I still remain undecided about identity of Siegfried's father, the standard scenario that Siegfried was either a sbling or half-sibling of Wigerich's children seems well supported to me. [Ref: Stewart Baldwin 16 Mar 2002]

Research note 3: To my knowledge, there is no documentary evidence for the identity of Kunigund's father. Reginar I, count of Hainaut (father of Giselbert, duke of Lorraine and son of another Giselbert), has been suggested as one possibility, apparently for onomastic reasons. (Kunigund had a grandson named Reginar, and a son named Giselbert.) [Ref: Stewart Baldwin 16 Mar 2002]

General Notes: Alan Wilson, apparently has this Konrad being the same person as Conrad I of Alsace, born 915, elsewhere in my file. His ancestry ends up with the same great-grandfather (Geberhard of NiederLandgau), who is father of both Eberhard of Niederlandgau and Gebhard of Wettergau, but does not go through Udo Count of Wetterau, as AR does. Richard Borthwick states that this is the latest thinking of several genealogists, as indicated in the latest edition of ES, but that not everyone agrees. I am NOT following Alan's line, but have given Konrad of Rheingau as an alias to Konrad of Alsace, who Alan states is the same person. @@check ancestry

General Notes:
The following information was contained in a post-em from Curt Hofemann:

Count d'Ivry [Ref: Tompsett, Wm Conqueror]
half-brother: Richard I Duke of Normandy [Ref: ES III:694A]

...Richard the Fearless' mother, Espriota, married, in the troublous times of his boyhood, a rich countryman called Sperling. They had a son called Raoul of Ivry, who seems to have been high in power and favor with the second Richard, his half-brother... [Ref: The Normans by Sarah Orne Jewett, Chapter V, DUKE RICHARD THE GOOD http://www.public.coe.edu/~theller/soj/nor/nor05.html]

Douglas mentions a 'half' brother of Richard, who assumed the title of count between 1006 and 1011. p.89 A clearer example of the acquisition by a feudal family of lands which had earlier been part of the ducal demesne, can be seen in the descent of the possessions of Count Rudolf, half-brother to Duke Richard I. Among the lands held by this man were estates situated on the Risle near Saint Philibert; estates on the Eure, including Concherel, Jouy, and, it would seem, Pacy; lands dependent on Breteuil; and lands centred on Ivry. Many of these lands, particularly those on the Eure, were inextricably intermingled with the earliest demesne of the Norman duke and must have come to Rudulf through his stepfather or his half-brother. Their subsequent devolution is thus of particular interest. Part of Ivry lands went to the count's eldest son Hugh, bishop of Bayeux, while the barony of Saint Philibert passed through the count's second son, John bishop of Avranches, to that cathedral church. But the larger part of Rudolf's possessions, including the honour of Pacy and the district honour of Breteuil, descended through the count's daughter, Emma, to her husband Osbern, the steward of Duke Robert I, and one of the guardians of the infant William. [Ref note: the previous URL of the online source of this is no longer valid & a google.com search did not show a new URL ... Curt 01/01/03]

The ducal family of Normandy early determined to have an historiographer whom they sought in France, one Dudon, dean of the chapter of St. Quentin, who between 1015-30 wrote in Latin half verse, half prose, a history of the family according to the traditions and accounts transmitted to him by Raoul, Count of Ivry grandson of Rollo and brother of Richard I Alinea.

----------------------------------------------

Olaf SIHTRICSON, byname (in sagas) OLAF THE RED, or OLAF CUARAN, Olafalso spelled ANLAF (d. 981?, Iona?), king of the Danish kingdoms of Northumbria and of Dublin. He was the son of Sihtric, king of Deira, and was related to the English King Aethelstan. When Sihtric died about 927 Aethelstan annexed Deira,and Olaf took refuge in Scotland and in Ireland until 937, when he was one of the leaders of the formidable league of princes that was destroyedby Aethelstan at the famous Battle of Brunanburh. Again he sought a home among his kinsfolk in Ireland, but just after Aethelstan's death in 940 he or Olaf Guthfrithson was recalled to England by the Northumbrians. Both crossed over, and in 941 the new English king, Edmund, gave up Deira to the former. The peace between the English and Danes did not, however, last long. Wulfstan, archbishop of York, sided with Olaf; but in 944 Olaf was driven from Northumbria by Edmund, and crossing to Ireland, Olaf ruled over the Danish kingdom of Dublin. From 949 to 952 he was again king of Northumbria, until he was expelled once more (this time by Erik Bloodaxe), and he passed the remainder of his active life in warfare in Ireland. But in 980 his dominion was shattered by the defeat of the Danes at the Battle of Tara. He went to Iona, where he died probably in 981, although one dubious account says he was in Dublin in 994. [Britannica CD '97]

Brian Boroimhe Na Munster King Of IRELAND,⁴¹⁵ ^,505 ^,2764 son of Cineadh Na MUNSTER and Be Bind O'FLAHERTY, was born in 942 in Kincora, Munster, Ireland and died on 23 April 1014 in Battle Of Clontarf, Dublin, Ireland ^²⁷⁶² at age 72. Another name for Brian was Brian BORUM King Of Ireland.

General Notes:
Brian Boru, son of the Gaelic King Cennetig of Munster,was born in the 930s. In 960 Brian's brother Mahoun became king. Munster was plagued by Viking raids, and Brian was determined to fight back. He managed to unite Munster's rival royal clans, the Delcassians (to which he and Mahoun belonged) and the Eoghanists, and led them to victory against the Vikings of Limerick. But the Eoghanists grew jealous of the Delcassian clan's power and formed an alliance with the Vikings. Two Eoghanists princes, Donovan and Moalmua, invited King Mahoun to dinner and treacherously murdered him. Brian declared war on the Eoghanists and their Viking allies and destroyed them.

By 984 Brian was the ruler of the southern half of Ireland. To strengthen his authority in the north he arranged a marriage between his daughter and Sitric Silkbeard, the Viking king of Dublin. Brian himself married Sitric's mother, Gormflaith. Brian's power grew, and in 1002 he became the high king of all Ireland. But when Brian's son Morrough insulted Queen Gormflaith's brother Maelmurra, the king of Leinster, Maelmurra declared war on Brian. Gormflaith eventually joined Maelmurra, and together they convinced Sitric to raise a Viking army against Brian.

Brian and Sitric's armies met at Clontarf, near Dublin, on April 23, 1014. During the battle Brian, who was in his 80s, remained in his tent. He was kneeling in prayer when a group of Vikings slipped in and killed him. Despite the loss of its leader Brian's army triumphed; the Vikings' rule in Ireland was ended.

The O'Briens, one of the few native Irish families with a peerage, descend in the male line from Brian Boroimhe, Prince of Thomond (North Munster or the north part of southwest Ireland, roughly commensurate with an area centered on modern Co. Clare) and Chief of the Dalgais, who became High King of Ireland 1002 and was killed at the victory over the Danes of Clontarf 23 April 1014. [Burke's' Peerage, p. 1495]

General Notes:
Note: From the notes below there appears to be a difference of opinion about when Gwaithfoed lived. Harold died 1066 (of course), which fits with Gwaithfoed's death date of 1057. But Edgar lived from 943 to 975, so if he was contemporary with both, he lived a long and prosperous life, marrying both early and very late in life, which is how I portray him.

All of the following information came from Jane Williams Flank, World Connect db=jwflank, rootsweb.com:

Gwaethfoed, Lord of Cardigan and Gwynfai (d 1057), lived in the time of Harold the Saxon; m. Morfydd, dau. of Ivor (or Ynyr), King of Gwent, and one of his heirs. [Annals and Antiquities of Wales II:208]

______________________

Gwaethvoed was contemporary with Edgar, king of Saxons, and was, in conformity with the vassalage of those periods, summoned, with other Welsh chieftains, by Edgar, to meet him at Chester, to row him, in his royal barge, on the river Dee, in proof of his fealty. Gwaethvoed, in answer to his summons, said he could not row, and that he would not, if he could, except it were to save a person's life, whether king or vassal. Edgar sent a second and very imperious message, which Gwaethvoed did not seem at all to notice, until the messenger begged to know what reply he should deliver to the king; when Gwaethevoed, in the Welsh language, answered thus: 'Say to him, fear him who fears not death.: This stern reply, discovering at once to Edgar the fearless unbending character he had to deal with, he prudently changed his autocratic decree into a desire of mutual friendship, and going to Gwaethvoed, gave the chief his hand in pledge of his sincerity. Gwaethvoed married Morfydd, one of the daughters and co-heirs of Ivor, king or lord of Gwent. [Burke's Commoners III:387]

General Notes:
Most historians who accept this would derive the Popponid Babenburgs from Heinrich I von Babenburg, margrave in Friesland (Frisia), who was killed in battle near Paris on 20 August 886. His first wife was apparently an earlier Judith from the Unruoching family, daughter of the margrave Eberhard of Friuli and Gisela of Francia. Adalbert was the elder of two definite sons of this Heinrich and Judith, and was beheaded with his brother Adalhard at theres am Main on 9 September 906. Adalbert was possibly married (his wife is said to have been a Swabian lady named Brunhilda), but no children are recorded as far as I know. The only male-line descendants that are ascribed to his parents come through the _speculated_ relationship to count Heinrich, grandfather of the brothers Poppo, bishop of Würzburg and Heinrich, archbishop of Trier. Another _speculative_ sibling was Hadwig (b ca 953/5, died 24 December 903), first wife of Otto the Illustrious, duke of the Saxons, who of course has innumerable descendants.

Godefrid, son of Harald [AB 852], an unsuccessful claimant to the Danish throne in 855. He attacked Frisia in 852 [AB], and then made peace with Charles the Bald in 853 [AB]. With his kinsman Rorik (see below), he went to Denmark in 855 [AB], in an attempt to gain power there after the civil war of 854, but their attempts were unsuccessful, and they returned to their base in Dorestad.

General Notes: All of the following information was copied from J.K. Loren, World Connect db=lorenfamily:

"This Robert was a Norman by birth, of obscure origin, with an overbearing character and a thoroughly villainous mind; he was a brave fighter, very cunning in his assaults on the wealth and power of great men; in achieving his aims absolutely inexorable, diverting criticism by incontrovertible argument. He was a man of immense stature, surpassing even the biggest men; he had a ruddy complexion, fair hair, broad shoulders, eyes that all but shot out sparks of fire. . . Homer remarked of Achilles that when he shouted his hearers had the impression of a multitude in uproar, but Robert's bellow, so they say, put tens of thousands to flight." The Alexiad, I, ii

--------------------------------------

Robert, byname ROBERT GUISCARD, or ROBERT DE HAUTEVILLE, Italian ROBERTO GUISCARDO, or ROBERTO D'ALTAVILLA (b. c. 1015, Normandy [France]--d. July 17, 1085, near Cephalonia, Greece, Byzantine Empire), Norman adventurer who settled in Apulia, in southern Italy, about 1047 and became duke of Apulia (1059). He eventually extended Norman rule over Naples, Calabria, and Sicily and laid the foundations of the Kingdom of Sicily.

Arrival in Apulia

Robert was born into a family of knights. Arriving in Apulia, in southern Italy, around 1047 to join his half brother Drogo, he found that it and Campania, though they were southern Italy's most flourishing regions, were plagued by political disturbances. These regions attracted hordes of fortune-seeking Norman immigrants, who were to transform the political role of both regions in the following decades.

In Campania, the Lombards of Capua were launching wars against the Byzantine dukes of Naples in order to gain possession of that important seaport. In Apulia, William ("Iron Arm") de Hauteville, Robert's eldest half brother, having successfully defeated the Byzantine Greeks who controlled that region, had been elected count of Apulia in 1042. In 1046 he had been succeeded by his brother Drogo.

When Robert joined his brothers, they sent him to Calabria to attack Byzantine territory. He began his campaign by pillaging the countryside and ransoming its people. In 1053, at the head of the combined forces of Normans from Apulia and Campania, he defeated the haphazardly led forces of the Byzantines, the Lombards, and the papacy at Civitate. Because of the deaths of William and Drogo and of his third half brother, Count Humphrey, in 1057, Robert returned to Apulia to seize control from Humphrey's sons and save the region from disgregating internal conflicts. After becoming the recognized leader of the Apulian Normans, Robert resumed his campaign in Calabria. His brother Roger's arrival from Normandy enabled him to extend and solidify his conquests in Apulia.

In his progression from gang leader to commander of mercenary troops to conqueror, Robert emerged as a shrewd and perspicacious political figure. In 1059 he entered into a concordat at Melfi with Pope Nicholas II. Until that time the papacy had been hostile toward the Normans, considering them to be an anarchist force that upset the political structure in southern Italy--a structure based on a balance of power between the Byzantines and the Lombards of northern Italy. The schism that took place between the Greek and Latin churches in 1054 worsened the relations between the Byzantine emperors and the papacy, and eventually the papacy realized that Norman conquests over the Byzantines could work to its advantage. Robert's plan to expel the Arabs from Sicily and restore Christianity to the island also found favour in Nicholas' eyes. This expedition into Sicily got under way in 1060, as soon as the conquest of Calabria was completed. Robert entrusted the command of the expedition to his brother Roger, but on particularly difficult occasions--e.g., the siege of Palermo in 1071--he came to his brother's aid.

Until this time, Robert's relations with Roger had not always been amicable, since Roger, aware of both his own talent and Robert's dependency on him, would not settle for the subordinate role allotted him. Their differences were resolved when Robert invested Roger, after he had recognized Robert's supreme authority, with "the County of Sicily and Calabria" along with the right to govern and tax both counties.

Expansion of the Duchy

Robert continued to expand the small county left by Humphrey into a duchy, extending from the Adriatic to the Tyrrhenian sea. The capture of Bari in April 1071 resulted in the end of Byzantine rule in southern Italy. Robert turned next to the neighbouring territories of Salerno, controlled by the Lombards. Instead of fighting them, he dissolved his first marriage and in 1058 married the sister of Salerno's last Lombard prince, Gisulf II. Hostilities broke out between the two rulers, however, and Gisulf naively tried to bring about a Byzantine counteroffensive against Robert. Fearing that the Norman advances into Campania, Molise, and Abruzzi would threaten the papal dominions, Pope Gregory VII excommunicated Robert and gave Gisulf considerable military aid. The struggle came to a head when Gisulf, determined to display his power, advanced toward the prosperous city of Amalfi. Robert responded to the city's plea for help in 1073 and successfully defended it; in December 1076 he took Salerno from Gisulf and made it the capital of his duchy.

Robert was now at the height of his power. During his rise he repressed with an iron hand not only the claims of Humphrey's sons but also the uprisings of towns and lords that were fretting under the restraints imposed upon them. The harshness with which Robert chose to deal with these rebels was intended to transform a heterogeneous population into a strong, sovereign state.

When, in 1080, the conflict between church and state over the right to make ecclesiastical investitures had become more intense, Robert chose to reconcile himself with Gregory VII, entering into the Concordat of Ceprano, which confirmed the commitments of the earlier Council of Melfi. Even the Byzantine court drew closer to him and went as far as trying to establish a familial relationship with Robert. The Byzantine emperor Michael VII, in need of Robert's help to uphold his unstable throne, married his son, Constantine, to one of Robert's daughters, Helen. The opposition party, however, deposed Michael and confined Helen in a monastery. To guarantee Apulia against attack from the new rulers of Byzantium, Robert wanted the territories on the Adriatic coast of the Balkan Peninsula, and he began to build a large navy. Michael's expulsion and Helen's confinement reawakened his unappeased spirit of adventure and hastened his long-considered expedition. Now his goal was even more ambitious: to march to Byzantium and crown himself emperor in place of the deposed Michael.

In 1083 Robert landed in Epirus with a well-trained army and immediately succeeded in defeating the Byzantines and their Venetian allies. The pope, however, suddenly recalled him to Italy to help him expel the German king Henry IV, who was marching on Rome en route to claiming southern Italy for the Holy Roman Empire. Having returned home and suppressed the revolts of the lords hostile to himself and to Pope Gregory VII, Robert moved toward Rome, defeated the pope's enemies, and escorted him to Salerno in the summer of 1084. Following this success, he returned to his campaign on the Adriatic coast. He died during the siege of Cephalonia on July 17, 1085.

Achievements

Physically attractive, endowed with an acute and unscrupulous intelligence, a brilliant strategist and competent statesman, Robert had begun to organize a state composed of diverse ethnic and civil groups: Latin and Germanic in Lombard territories and Greek in Byzantine domains. The new political structure was built on a monarchial-feudal framework characteristic of the time, but it was controlled by the energetic and uncompromising Robert, who tried to use his ducal power to create a powerful and prosperous state. The other base on which he built was Roman Catholicism, the religion of the conquerors and most of the conquered, which he used to reconcile the subjected peoples. An extremely religious man, Robert was distrustful of the Greek clergy because of their ties with Byzantium. On the other hand, his generosity toward the Latin church was bountiful. He endowed it with territories and clerical immunities in order to tie it firmly to the feudal system. Splendid cathedrals and Benedictine abbeys were built in the hope that they would consolidate and diffuse Latin language and culture among the heterogeneous people and tie them into a new, unified state. Robert was kept from realizing this political vision only by his death. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD, 1996, ROBERT GUISCARD]

Another name for Aethelred was Ethelred II The Unready King Of ENGLAND.

General Notes:
Aethelred, one of the most hated kings of England, inherited the throne when he was ten years old. His name comes from the Anglo Saxon name for him, "Unraed," which means "evil-counseled," or "uncounseled," and was a pun on his name. Later generations, after the language had changed, produced the pun we have here.

He was supposed to be licentious and mean.

He was not ready for the Danes to renew their attack. They had been pretty docile since Alfred, the Great. He lost all of England. His son Edmund II Ironside, briefly recovered some of it, but then King Canute (and 2 other Danish kings) took over until Aethelred's other son, Edward the Confessor, regained the throne--only to lose it (for the Saxons anyway) in the next generation to William the Conqueror.

------------------------------------------------

Ethelred II, also spelled AETHELRED, byname ETHELRED THE UNREADY, or AETHELRED UNRAED (b. 968? - d. 23 April 1016, London), king of the English from 978 to 1013 and from 1014 to 1016. He was an ineffectual ruler who failed to prevent the Danes from overrunning England. The epithet "unready" is derived from unraed, meaning "evil counsel."

The son of King Edgar (ruled 959-975), Ethelred ascended the throne upon the assassination of his half brother King Edward the Martyr in March 978. Widespread suspicion that Ethelred may have had a part in the murder created much of the distrust and disloyalty that undermined his authority. Hence, there was no unified defense when the Danish invasions resumed in 980.

Nearly all of the country was ravaged, and Ethelred's efforts to buy peace only made the invaders more rapacious. When they did begin to settle down in towns, Ethelred provoked further invasions by launching a massacre of Danish settlers (13 Nov 1002). By the end of 1013 the Danish king Sweyn I had been accepted as king in England, and Ethelred had fled to Normandy.

After Sweyn died in Feb 1014, Ethelred's council of advisers invited him to return to the throne on condition that he agree to satisfy their grievances. At the time of Ethelred's death in 1016, Sweyn's son Canute was ravaging England. Ethelred was succeeded by his son Edmund II Ironside (ruled 1016); one of his other sons ruled England as Edward the Confessor from 1042 to 1066. [Encylcopaedia Britannica]

General Notes:
Turton has Gisele as daughter of Conrad by Maud of France, but since that marriage didn't take place until c964 according to AR, I have Gisele by a first wife of Conrad.

Gisela married Henry II "The Quarrelsome" Duke Of BAVARIA,¹⁴¹⁶ ^,2329 ^,2802 son of Henrich II (I) SAXONY and Judith Of BAVARIA. Henry was born in 951 in Bavaria ^¹⁴¹⁶ and died on 28 August 995 ^{¹⁴¹⁶^,2329} at age 44.

General Notes: CP states that Hugh was of Brozes, which I cannot find anywhere. For once I think I will go with Turton, who says "Broyes", or in another place "Broye". Perhaps they are all names for the same place.

General Notes: Undoubtedly Elizabeth is from a place called Sours. The only place I find is a Chateau Sours, a winery in Bordeaux. I have another person Humberge de Sours (wife of Eberhard de Breteuil), born about the same time. They could be sisters.

Elizabeth married Hugh Bardoul Seigneur De BROYES,²⁸⁰⁵ son of Isembert Sire De BROYES and Unknown. Hugh was born about 1014 in Broyes, Marne, Champagne, France and died after 1058 ^²⁸⁰⁶. Other names for Hugh were Hugh BARDOUL Seigneur De Broyes, Hugh Bardoul Seigneur De BROZES ²⁰¹⁵.^{, and2807}

General Notes:
Adele (or Aelis) of France, [daughter of Robert II by Constance of Provence], Countess of Contenance, d. Messines, 8 Jan 1079; m. (1) 1027 Richard III, Duke of Normandy, dsp. legit 6 Aug 1027; m. (2) 1028 Baldwin V, Count of Flanders, d. Lille, 1 Sep 1067. [Ancestral Roots, line 128-22]

Note: Contenance does not exist anywhere in France, people on soc.genealogy.medieval (the newgroup) don't know what it means either.

Note: Deborah L. Bay, in an e-mail, pointed out that Adele/Aelis was born about the same time as Adele, who was married to Renaud, Count of Nevers. Even though they were apparently named the same, born about the same time, and to the same parents, they are different sisters, with different death dates, different titles, and they both had children by their different husbands at exactly the same time (1030). I have encountered this situation where children are named the same 3 or 4 other times (more often/commonly when one died young).

Adélaïde married Duke Of Normandy Richard III De NORMANDIE,¹⁶⁰¹ ^,2352 son of Richard II "The Good" Duke Of NORMANDY and Princess Of Brittany Judith De BRETAGNE, from January 1026 to 1027 in Contract, Not Married.²³⁴³ Richard was born about 997 in Rouen, Seine-Inferieure, Normandy, France and died on 6 August 1027 in (Dspl) ^²³⁴³ about age 30.

Another name for Baudouin was Baldwin V De LILLE Count Of Flanders.

128710221394. Gerard I Count Von EGISHEIM,²⁵⁸⁴ ^,2755 son of Hugo VI Von EGISHEIM Count Of Lower Lorraine and Heilwig (Helvide) Von DAGSBURG, was born about 995 in Eguisheim, Haute-Rhin, Alsace, France and died in 1038 ^²⁷⁵⁵ about age 43.

General Notes: Turton and many people on World Connect, have this Gerard as "II" (don't know where "I" is). AR states that the son was "II", so I will stick with AR, making this Gerard "I". Turton also has Gerard as son of Eberhard Vicomte of Lower-Alsace (with Hugues III as grandfather), but SGM has other parents.

I just got in the mail the latest publication of the Unit for Prosopographical Research - Prosopographica et Genealogica, vol.3, Onomastioque et Parente dans l'Occident medieval, K. S. B. Keats-Rohan and C. Settipani, eds. (2000). I have not had a chance to read beyond the first couple of articles, but even the first one will be of interest to many in this group. Szabolcs de Vajay here contributes a reevaluation of his elegant work on Etiennette/Estefania/Stephanie, wife of William, Count of Burgundy.

In a 1960 article appearing in Annales de Bourgogne, he evaluated the surviving sources, and focussed particularly on two contemporary ones that appeared to illuminate the question. One of these indicated that Pope Callixte (son of Etiennette) was of mixed parentage, one parent being Burgundian, and the other from Lorraine. The second source mentioned a Countess Ermesende of Longwy - taken to be the mother of Clemence, Countess of Luxembourg, and wife of William VII of Aquitaine. Vajay was led to conclude that these two women, apparently both of Lorraine but with Mediteranean names, represented a single family group. At about this time Longwy was held by an Adelbert, identified with the Duke of Lorraine, who was then tapped as father. At the same time, the names Ermesende and Etiennette appeared in the family of Bernard Roger, Count of Foix (another sibling was Raimond, a name which Etiennette of Burgundy would give a son), so the mother of the Lorraine Ermesende and Etiennette was hypothesized as another sibling in this family, provisionally named Clemence (the name of daughters of both Ermesende and Etiennette). Thus the question has stood for four decades (with only a few historians dissenting). (Thus it has likewise appeared in secondary sources which failed to indicate the hypothetical nature of the solution, from which it has entered innumerable personal and public databases.)

In his new analysis, entitled "Parlons encore d'Etiennette" (pp. 2-6), Vajay goes through his previous proof, and step by step he destroys it.

The first source, describing the parentage of Callixte, is now known not to refer to the son of Etiennette, but to her grandson of the same name, who was son of Louis of Montbeliard and Ermesende of Burgundy - parentage that matches his described mixed origins. The other source can now be shown to refer not to the mother of Clemence Countess of Luxembourg, but to her daughter Ermesende who married Adelbert de Dabo - the Adelbert of Longwy mistakenly associated with the Duke of Lorraine. Taken together, there is no longer any support for a connection with Lorraine (and no reason to think that Duke Adelbert married or had any issue at all). More critically, it becomes clear that with these two pieces of evidence removed from relevance, there is no contemporary source that bears dierctly on the question.

One recent author, A. Beau, approached the question by returning to the work of Pere Anselme, who wrote that Etiennette was daughter of Raimond II of Barcelona and his wife Sancha of Navarre. With minor modifications, this possibility is attractive. The man Anselme appears to have had in mind was Count Berenger I Raimond II, who married Sancha Sanchez of Castile. This Berenger is now thought to have had a sister Etiennette (for whom he might have named a daughter), while in his fourth wife (who Beau would make mother of our Etiennette) we have Guisla of Lluca, for whom Etiennette would have named her daughter Gisela, and this solution would also explain the use of Raimond.

Vajay is, however, not entirely enthusiastic about this solution. First of all, Beau's reasoning that Anselme's account was likely based on an accurate tradition/source is belied by the fact that Beau then gives her a father Berenger and mother Guisla (with Berenger's first wife, Sancha, being from Castile), while Anselme had named them Raimond and Sancha of Navarre. Likewise, this solution fails to explain the appearance of the name Clemence (unknown among the Barcelona Counts, although Guisla's ancestry is not fully characterized), while finally, there is the problem of the relationship between Henry, Count of Portugal and Raimond, Count of Galicia (Etiennette's son).

The word "congermanus" is used to describe the relationship between Henry and Raymond. This word is usually used to refer to what we would now call second cousins or even more distant relations, the children (or descendants) of first cousins. By Vajay's old solution, this would be the case, both being grandchildren's-grandchildren of Count Roger of Carcassonne, with Henry's mother postulated as daughter of Berenger and Guisla. Moving Raimond's mother to the same family renders the two Counts first cousins, which is too close. (Vajay would now instead place Henry's mother as sister of Berenger, but the problem remains.) This can not be simply dismissed by suggesting that "congermanus" is being used somewhat atypically here to refer to first cousins, since Raimond's sister Sybil married Henry's brother Eudes and a marriage of first cousins (? once removed) certainly would have been considered too close. In light of this, Vajay tends to dismiss this solution as well.

He concludes by stating that the fate of his earlier theory should serve as a warning about the uncertain nature of such arguments based more on onomastics and hypothesis than direct proof. This is perhaps a good warning with which to start this book, as the articles that follow derive from a group of researchers that uses just such methods to reconstruct relationships among family groups.

Clemence married Adalbert III Count LONGWY Duke Upper Lorraine ¹⁹⁸⁸.^,2251 Adalbert was born about 1012 in Longwy, Meurthe-Et-Moselle, Lorraine, France and died in 1048 ^¹⁹⁸⁸ about age 36.

128710221428. Osbern De CREPON Steward Of Normandy,¹⁷⁷⁸ ^,2234 son of Herfast (Arfastus) De CREPON and Unknown, was born about 990 in Crepon, Calvados, Normandy, France and died in 1036 in (Murdered) ^¹⁷⁷⁸ about age 46.

Osbern married Emma De IVRY,¹⁷⁷⁸ ^,2234 ^,2809 daughter of Ralph (Raoul) Comte D' IVRY and Albreda. Emma was born about 990 in Ivry-La-Bataille, Eure, Normandy, France and died before 1034. Another name for Emma was Alberade De BAYEUX.

Children from this marriage were:

64355110714 i. William FITZOSBERN 1st Earl Of Hereford (born in 1030 in Breteuil, Eure, Normandy, France - died on 20 February 1070-1071 in Battle Of Cassel, Flanders (Killed))

ii. Emma FITZOSBERN was born about 1028 in Normandy, France.

128710221429. Emma De IVRY,⁴¹⁵ ^,1778 ^,2234 ^,2809 daughter of Ralph (Raoul) Comte D' IVRY and Albreda, was born about 990 in Ivry-La-Bataille, Eure, Normandy, France and died before 1034. Another name for Emma was Alberade De BAYEUX.

General Notes: I believe that the names which Turton gave Emma & her father Ralph d'Ivry were wrong, but the pedigree which Turton gave is similar to that of CP, except that Turton has Emma's (Turton says Alberade's) mother as Erneberge de Caux, while CP has her as Albreda. Raoul de Bayeux and Ralph (Raoul) d'Ivry are probably two different names for the same person.

Emma married Osbern De CREPON Steward Of Normandy,¹⁷⁷⁸ ^,2234 son of Herfast (Arfastus) De CREPON and Unknown. Osbern was born about 990 in Crepon, Calvados, Normandy, France and died in 1036 in (Murdered) ^¹⁷⁷⁸ about age 46.

128710221430. Roger II "The Spaniard" Conches De TOENI,¹⁴⁴⁹ ^,2280 son of Ralph II Seigneur De TOENI Lord Of Conches and Miss Countess Of BAYEUX, was born about 990 in Tosni, Louviers, Eure, Normandy, France ^{¹⁴⁴⁹^,2280} and died between 1038 and 1039 in Battle With Neighbor Against Succession Of William I ^{¹⁴⁴⁹^,2280} about age 48. Another name for Roger was Roger De TODENI Lord Of Guerny.

General Notes: Note: Roger Toeni's 1st wife, Stephanie, is questioned by some; especially her 2nd marriage to Garcias of Spain while Toeni was still alive. I agree that it does not make much sense. However

-------------------------------

Roger de Toeni, also called Roger de Conches; fought Muslims in Spain; married 1st? Stephanie (m. 2nd Garsias, King of Spain) sister of Raymond Berenger, Count of Barcelona; married 2nd? Godeheut (m. 2nd Richard, 3rd Count of Evreux), and died 1038 or 1039 in battle against a neighboring noble whose territory he had overrun in a revolt against the succession of William I the Conqueror to his father's Norman possessions on the grounds that William was illegitimate. [Burke's Peerage]

Note: According to BP, Roger married two different women as 1st husband, both married later husbands. There is no explanation given. Did the first marriage end in divorce? As stated above, I am treating the women as the same person.

------------------------------

ROGER DE TOENI I, styled also DE CONCHES, son and heir, was born probably about 990, for as stated above he was joined with his father in the custody of the castle of Tillières in 1013 or 1014. He was a powerful and haughty man, and banner-bearer of all Normandy. In 1031 or 1032 he attested a charter of Robert I for St. Wandrille. About 1035 he founded the abbey of Chatillon or Conches. While Duke Robert was away on pilgrimage, he went to Spain and distinguished himself in fighting the infidels (b). When he returned to Normandy, he was furious to learn that the boy William had succeeded his father in the Duchy, declaring that a bastard ought not to rule over him and other Normans.

Accordingly he rebelled and ravaged the lands of his neighbours, particularly those of Humphrey de Vieilles; whose son Roger de Beaumont marched against him, and in the battle which followed Roger de Toeni and two of his sons were slain. He was a benefactor to the abbey of I'Estrée and confirmed a gift to the abbey of Lire, and witnessed a charter for Jumièges. He married, perhaps 2ndly,[g] Godeheut, whose parentage is unknown. He died as above, probably in 1038 or 1039, and was buried 1 May at Conches. His widow married Richard, 3rd COUNT OF EVREUX. She was a benefactor to Conches. [Complete Peerage XII/1:755-7, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

(b) Will. de Jumieges, p. 157---by Orderic. In consequence he was styled sometimes Roger of Spain (Orderic, vol i, p. 180; vol iii, p. 338), or Roger the Spaniard (Idem, vol ii, p. 64). However, if the Roger, son of Count Rodulf (cf, p. 755, note "a" above), who according to the Sens Chron. led an army from Normandy to Spain, can be identified with Roger de Toeni, he is said to have gone there at a much earlier date; and after defeating the Saracens, is said to have married a Spanish woman and lived there for 15 years. Then owing to the treachery of the natives he lost most of his men and, leaving his wife in Spain, he returned to Normandy; where he made a concord with Duke Richard, who was displeased at the loss of his army. Afterwards Roger was killed, fighting against a certain neighbor (Rec. des Hist. de France, vol x, p. 223). This Roger's feats in Spain are recorded also by Ademar, who calls him simply Roger, and does not say how long he stayed there (Idem, p. 156). No other Norman than Roger de Toeni seems to be known, who could be identified with the hero of these stories. Cf. Prentout, op. cit., p. 86. See also p. 755, note (a) above and note (g) below. See "Tony of Belvoir", Charles Evans, "Geneal. Mag.", vol 15, 1968, pp. 616-18. [last sentence, referencing Charles Evans, added by CP XIV:613]

[g] Roger, son of Count Rodulf (see note "b" above), married, in Spain, Stephanie, sister of Raymond Berenger; which lady afterwards m. Garsias, King of Spain (Rec. des Hist. de France, vol x, p. 223). This agrees with the statement of Ademar, that he m. a da. (unnamed) of the widowed Ermensede, Countess of Barcelona ((Idem, p. 156), the mother of Raymond abovenamed. If this Roger were Roger de Toeni, he married Godeheut while his 1st wife was alive, and Stephanie m. Garsias III, King of Navarre, while Roger was living.

Note: The note "a", p. 755, referred to above is under Roger's father, Ralph.

Note: AR has Ermengarde as dau. of Charles by his 2nd wife (m. bef. 979) Adelheid. However Alan B. Wilson, reporting on the work of Settipani, has her as daughter of Otto Duke of Lower Lorraine, son of Charles by his 1st wife. Thus Ermengarde is granddaughter, not daughter, of Charles.

Ermengarde married Albert I Comte De NAMUR,¹⁷⁸⁴ ^,2515 ^,2716 ^,2811 ^,2812 son of Robert I Comte De LOMME and Ermengarde De LORRAINE, in 990.²⁷¹⁶ Albert was born about 975 in Lower Lorraine, France and died before 1011 in Namur, Belgium ^{¹⁷⁸⁴^,2811}.

Note: Deborah L. Bay, in an e-mail, pointed out that Adele was born about the same time as Adele/Aelis, who was married to Richard III, Duke of Normandy & Baldwin V, Count of Flanders. Even though they were apparently named the same, born about the same time, and to the same parents, they are different sisters, with different death dates, different titles, and they both had children by their different husbands at exactly the same time (1030). I have encountered this situation where children are named the same 3 or 4 other times (more often/commonly when one died young).

Adele married Renaud I Comte De NEVERS & Auxerre,²³⁴⁷ son of Landeric IV (Landry) Comte De NEVERS and Matilda Of BURGUNDY, from after January 1016 to 1017.²³⁴⁸ Renaud was born about 1000 in Nevers, Nievre, Bourgogne, France and died on 29 May 1040 in Battle At Seignelay, Yonne, Bourgogne, France ^²³⁴⁷ about age 40.

General Notes: This is an excerpt from a post to SGM (full post is in notes under Ermengarde de Tonnerre), 5 Dec 1998, by Settipani, the noted French genealogist:

The Ascendancy of Ermengarde of Tonnerre : Part II

The ancestry of Helvisa (no 3) is unknown, but I suppose her a niece of Hardoin, bishop of Noyon (1015-1027) (M. Chaume believed she was a sister of his). Hardoin is brother of Garnier and son of Robert of Croyes. Probably they are issued of Waltharius (Gauthier, Walter), count of Valois, Amiens and Vexin (d. c. 992/8), grandson of the caroligian Helvisa.

Noted events in her life were:

• Alt. Death: Alt. Death, After 1018. ²⁴⁹¹

Helvise married Renhard II (Renaud) Comte De TONNERRE,²⁴⁹¹ ^,2598 son of Milo IV Comte De TONNERRE and Ermengarde De MACON. Renhard was born about 993 in Tonnerre, Yonne, Bourgogne, France ^²⁴⁹¹ and died on 16 July 1039 ^²⁸¹⁶ about age 46.

Artald IV Comte De FOREZ & Lyon,⁴¹⁵ ^,2817 son of Giraud II Comte De LYON and Alice (Adelaide) De GEVAUDAN, was born about 1020 in Lyon, Loire, Lyonnais/Rhone-Alpes, France and died after 14 May 1078 in Le Forez, Loire, Lyonnais/Rhone-Alpes, France ^²⁸¹⁷. Another name for Artald was Artald IV Comte De Forez & LYON.

Noted events in his life were:

• Alt. Death: Alt. Death, 1076.

Artald married Raymodis (Raymonde).²⁸¹⁸ Raymodis was born about 1025 in France.

The child from this marriage was:

64355110886 i. Artald V Comte De FOREZ & Lyon (born about 1042 in Lyon, Loire, Lyonnais/Rhone-Alpes, France - died in 1085 in Le Forez, Loire, Lyonnais/Rhone-Alpes, France)

128710221773. Raymodis (Raymonde) ⁴¹⁵ ^,2818 was born about 1025 in France.

Raymodis married Artald IV Comte De FOREZ & Lyon,²⁸¹⁷ son of Giraud II Comte De LYON and Alice (Adelaide) De GEVAUDAN. Artald was born about 1020 in Lyon, Loire, Lyonnais/Rhone-Alpes, France and died after 14 May 1078 in Le Forez, Loire, Lyonnais/Rhone-Alpes, France ^²⁸¹⁷. Another name for Artald was Artald IV Comte De Forez & LYON.

128710235140. Dietrich III Count Of HOLLAND,⁴¹⁵ ^,2515 son of Arnulph Count Of HOLLAND & WESTFRIESLAND and Luitgarde Of LUXEMBOURG, was born about 986 in Ghent, Flanders Now Belgium and died on 27 May 1039 ^²⁵¹⁵ about age 53. Other names for Dietrich were Dietrich (Dirk) III Count Of West FRIESLAND, and Dietrich III De GAND Count Of West Friesland.

Dietrich married Ulfhilde Of GERMANY,²⁵¹⁵ daughter of Otto Duke Of CARINTHIA and Judith (Adela) Of VERDUN. Ulfhilde was born about 986 in Karnten, Austria and died from 9 March 1043 to 1044 ^²⁵¹⁵ about age 57. Another name for Ulfhilde was Othehildis De NORDMARK.

The child from this marriage was:

64355117570 i. Florent (Florens) I Count Of HOLLAND (born about 1015 in Vlaardingen, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands - died on 26 June 1061 in Hannert, France)

128710235141. Ulfhilde Of GERMANY,⁴¹⁵ ^,2515 daughter of Otto Duke Of CARINTHIA and Judith (Adela) Of VERDUN, was born about 986 in Karnten, Austria and died from 9 March 1043 to 1044 ^²⁵¹⁵ about age 57. Another name for Ulfhilde was Othehildis De NORDMARK.

General Notes: I believe that RFC has Ulfhilde named Othehildis de Nordmark, and daughter of Bernard Margrave of Nordmark, b. c 960. But I am following Turton.

Ulfhilde married Dietrich III Count Of HOLLAND,²⁵¹⁵ son of Arnulph Count Of HOLLAND & WESTFRIESLAND and Luitgarde Of LUXEMBOURG. Dietrich was born about 986 in Ghent, Flanders Now Belgium and died on 27 May 1039 ^²⁵¹⁵ about age 53. Other names for Dietrich were Dietrich (Dirk) III Count Of West FRIESLAND, and Dietrich III De GAND Count Of West Friesland.

128710235142. Bernard II Duke Of SAXONY,⁴¹⁵ ^,670 ^,2594 ^,2595 son of Bernard I BILLUNG Duke Of Saxony and Hildegarde Countess Of STADE, was born in 995 in Saxony, Germany ^²⁵⁹⁶ and died on 29 June 1059 ^{¹⁷⁸⁴^,2067} at age 64.

General Notes: Turton, p. 20 & 40, has Bernard's wife (and mother of his children) as "Bertrade of Norway", daughter of Harald II of Norway, d. 976. This means that Bertrade would have been born by 977, which doesn't make much sense. AR states that Elicia/Elika was Bernard's wife & mother of his children, which is what I am following.

Noted events in his life were:

• Alt. Death: Alt. Death, 1057. ²⁵⁹⁶

Bernard married Elicia (Elika) Von SCHWEINFURT,²³⁶⁴ daughter of Heinrich Margrave Of NORDGAU & SCHWEINFURTH and Margravine Of Schweinfurt Gerberge Countess Of GLEIBERG, about 1020.²⁵⁹⁶ Elicia was born about 1003 in Schwaben, Germany and died after 1055 ^¹⁷⁸⁴.

128710235146. Gerald I Count Of GENEVA,⁴¹⁵ ^,1849 ^,2642 son of Almon (Ayman) I Count Of Vienne & GENEVA and Bertha Of BURGUNDY, was born in 1012 in Genf, Geneva, Helvetiz, Switzerland ^²⁶⁰⁵ and died in 1061 ^{¹⁸⁴⁹^,2642} at age 49.

General Notes: Turton has two different Geralds, one married to Gisele, and the second married (as her 1st husband) to Tutberge of Rheinfelden, daughter of Rudolph (who I have as an ancestor). Turton has Tetberge married 2ndly to Louis of Faucigny. AR has one Gerald m. to Gisele and 2ndly to Thietburga, widow of Louis of Faucigny (note the order of Tetberge/Thietburga's marriages is reversed). AR is considered, in general, to be "newer & more reliable" than Turton, but I am following Turton on this one.

AR has some possible "hickups" with its pedigree at this point: AR describes the first wife as "dead in 1060" and the birth year of Aimon, the son born by the 2nd wife, as "about 1050". I think it is strange (and probably significant) that AR can't find a way to describe the 1st wife's death to be "in sync" with the 2nd wife's child birth. Also AR's death date of "1061-1080" for Gerald is a pretty wide range. One could envision a Gerald I, d. 1061, and a Gerald II, d. 1080, which is what Turton has. In fact I think that Turton is right - at least in there being two Geralds. I will follow AR in other items, including the order of Tetberge/Thietburga's marriages..

General Notes: I originally, based on Turton, had William b. 947, d. 1037, and having children by his 990 marriage to Emma, who were born in 1015. This seems like a lot for a 68 year old man.

It turns out that the person born c 947 was another Raymond, probably son of Raymond, who m. Adelaide (Blanche) d'Anjou not Arsinde her sister (as some have it). William III is son of Raymond & Adelaide.

William [III of Toulouse] married Arsinde, then Emma of Provence. Emma was daughter of Roubaud (Rodbold) II, brother of Count William II of Provence (and also Count - Provence was, several times, subdivided among brothers. A later such division produced what would become the independent County of Forcalquier, but I don't know if there was a formal partition between Rodbold II and William II, with Rodbold receiving the Forcalquier portion or if they held the undivided County of Provence jointly). Arsinde's placement as being from Anjou probably results from confusion with Adelaide. Stasser proposes that she was instead daughter of William II of Provence (and hence first cousin of Emma) by his first wife, Arsinde of Carcasonne. This would make her a distant relative, being daughter of Arnaud of C. and Arsinde, daughter of Ermengaud of Rouergue, uncle of Raymond Pons. By Arsinde, William III had Raymond and Henry, who both died young, while by Emma he had Pons, Bertrand, and several daughters. FWIW, he makes Odile "of Nice" who is being discussed in the Orange thread, as another daughter of William II of Provence and Arsinde.

His father, Berenguer Ramon I (reigned 1018-35), divided and bequeathed his lands among his three sons; however, Sanç (or Sancho) in 1049 and Guillem (or William) in 1054 renounced their inheritances in their eldest brother's favour, thus reuniting the lands. Ramon Berenguer I also expanded his domain by securing control over the adjacent counties of Ampurias and Pallars. His most noted achievement was convoking the local Cortes (assembly) and having it deliberate on a choice of Roman and medieval laws for Catalonia. The result was the promulgation of the celebrated legal code known as the Usatges de Barcelona (1064-68). [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97]

Plenty of problems here. First we have Almodis marrying for the first time
at age 54/5 and having several children. Then we have her marrying for the
2nd time in 1053, age 63, while her first husband is still living. Then
she marries for a third time, year unknown, presumedly now in her late
60s, but has a son born to husband three in 1050 while still married to
husband two...

First of all, that ca. 990 birthdate is just wrong. As to remarrying while her former husband was still living, yes, she did that, twice, and it raised a few eyebrows at the time.

Whoever Paget is, he is stumbling badly thru his chronology.

General Notes:
In 1029 Count García Sánchez of Castilla was about to be married to Sancha of León, the sister of Vermudo III, an arrangement apparently sanctioned by the king of Navarra, when the count was murdered in the city of León. Sancho el Mayor of Navarra then claimed the county of Castilla in his wife's name and installed in it their son, Fernando, as the new count of Castilla. After he had forced the marriage between Fernando and Sancha in 1032, those lands went to Castilla as part of her dowry. In 1034 he wrested the city of León itself from Vermudo, who retreated into Galicia, and began to style himself "Emperor" on his coinage. He was killed at a battle in 1037 and succeeded by Sancha and her husband. During their reign the kingdom was consolidated and expanded further.

128710235546. Sviatapolk II Grand Duke Of KIEV,⁴¹⁵ ^,2627 son of Izyaslav I Yaroslavich Grand Duke Of KIEV and Gertrude Princess Of POLAND, was born in 1050 in Kiev, Ukraine ^²⁸⁴¹ and died on 16 April 1113 ^²⁸⁴¹ at age 63. Another name for Sviatapolk was Svyatopolk II Izyaslavich.

General Notes:
He was born in 1050 the son of Izyaslav I Yaroslavich and Gertrude, daughter of King Mieszko II of Poland and sister of King Casmir. He married a daughter (probably Elina) of Polovtsi Khan Tugor, and later Barbara Comnena, Byzantine princess. He also had a concubine. From these women he had sons, Mstislav, prince of Vladimir-in-Volynia (killed in 1099); Yaroslav, prince of Vladimir in Volynia (killed in 1123); Bryacheslav (d 1127), and Izyaslav (d 1128); and daughters Anna, married to Svyatoslav prince of Lutsk; Sbyslava, married to Boleslaw III, Duke of Poland; Predslava, married to Geza I King of Hungary; and Maria, married to Peter Wlast. Yaroslav Svyatopolchich had sons Yuri and Vyacheslav who continued the House of Turov and Pinsk.

He was Prince of Polotsk from 1069 to 1071, then Prince of Novgorod 1078-88) and then Prince of Turov (1088-93). His descendents formed the House of Turov and Pinsk. He became prince of Kiev in 1093 on the death of his uncle, Vsyevolod I Yaroslavich. The Polovtsi raided Rus' soon after Vsyevolod's death and sought to buy peace with the new prince, Svyatopolk. Against his Kiev druzhina's wishes, but listening only to his own followers from Turov, he incarcerated the Polovtsi ambassadors. This enraged the Polovtsi who came in force to attack Kyiv. Facing an army of Polovtsi of eight thousand, he took the advice of others who counseled to seek Vladimir Monomakh's help. Monomakh not only came with his troops but called upon his brother Rostislav from Pereyaslavl. The meeting with Svyatopolk took place in the "family" monastery of Monomakh---Vydubitsii; tempers flared as Monomakh insisted on peace with the Polovtsi while Svyatopolk wanted war. It is considered that arguments to and fro were glossed over and a union was achieved. Svyatopolk released the Polovtsi ambassadors. The armies of the three princes joined together and set out for Trepol'. Characterizing the type of cut-throats that these men were is the incident in which Rostislav stopped at the Pechora monastery for a blessing by the Metropolitan Gregory, whom he ordered to be drowned. It is doubtful that the sentence was carried out however. Approaching the river Stugna the princes were undecided, so they stopped to have a council. The Polovtsi were across the river. Monomakh (whose wife was a Polovtsi princess), continued to demand that they sue for peace. But the Kyivan troops wanted battle. The Russians crossed the river nevertheless and met the Polovtsi in the first of two valleys at the rampart of Trepol. Svyatapolk deployed on the right, Rostislav in the center and Vladimir on the left. Following a long and bloody battle the Russians were badly beaten and a panic ensued; Svyatapolk's troops ran first. Rostislav and Monomakh attempted to swim the river Stugna and Rostislav drowned, and Monomakh retreated to Chernigiv. This was all in early 1093. Svyatopolk stopped in Trepol' before continuing the next day to Kiev. After besieging Torchesk for 9 weeks the Polovtsi sent half their army toward Kyiv. Once again Svyatopolk went out to battle. In July Svyatopolk was defeated even worse. The Polovtsi raided far and wideand then returned to Torchesk. The town was finally starved into surrender, whereupon it was destroyed and the population taken into slavery. Svyatopolk was forced to sue for peace which cost him a "Kalym'" the pay-off of the groom for the bride of the Tugor Khan and his family. So he wound up with a Polovtsi wife as well.

Svyatopolk was a ruthless self-serving despot whose machinations resulted in great misery for many and hideous death for others. The monk Policarp wrote admonitions pleading for the restoration of the salt concession, which had been forceably seized from Saint Prokhor and used for speculation, and to hasten the liberty of the incarcerated Lavra monastery monk Ionas in the Turov dungeon. Svyatopolk's son, Mstislav, had tortured two monks, Vasilii and Feodor, for having hidden the treasures of the Varangians. The Orthodox church recognizes them as martyrs. During the second half of his reign, Svyatopolk evidently established closer ties with the representatives of the clergy with whom he had been at odds. He sought the blessings of the church prior to military campaigns and bestowed grants to the Lavra monastery. In 1108 he presided over the canonization of Saint Theodosii and laid the cornerstone of the Mikhailo-Zlatoverkh church, so named because his patron saint was the Archangel Michael. Kiev's Saint Sophia and Mikhailovsky Cathedrals (built in 1108 by Svyatopolk Izyaslavich) of the Mikhailovo-Zlatoverkh Monastery (also in Kiev) founded in the middle of XIth century are the only two known churches in Russia that in ancient times were partially decorated in mosaics. The Mikhailovsky Cathedral was originally named Dmitievsky after Dmitri -Izyaslav Yaroslavich who founded the monastery. The cathedral was dismembered by Soviet authorities to make room for a new square and thus was destroyed one of the most extraordinary examples of ancient architecture. ²⁸⁴²

General Notes: Leo van de Pas, citing ES, does no mention any background for his wife Mathilda, nor any prior marriage, which Todd Farmerier gives for her. Leo's marriage date of 1106 or 1110 seems a little late; the dates of the children would seem to make the marriage soon after the death of Mathilda's first husband. Even though Gersende is supposedly a daughter of Mathilda as well, there is no way that she could have been born as late as 1101, so I am making her a daughter of Guigues' first wife.

• Alt. Death: Alt. Death, Between 1132 and 1133. ²¹⁷⁶

General Notes: Ermengarde would appear to be Raymond-Bernard's niece. This is the second time in this Trencavel pedigree that it has occurred. And, once again I am not sure of the pedigree at this point, in terms of Ermengarde's detailed ancestry. In general I believe that Ermengarde is of the Count of Carcassone's family, as supported by Nathaniel Taylor's posting to SGM; but perhaps her mother was not Rangearde, daughter of Bernard-Aton III.

Ermengarde married Raymond-Bernard II TRENCAVEL Vicomte De Nimes,²⁴⁰⁸ son of Bernard-Aton III TRENCAVEL Vicomte De Nimes and Rangearde De LA MARCHE, in 1066. Raymond-Bernard was born in 1036 in Nimes, Gard, Languedoc, France and died in 1074 in Albi, Tarn, Languedoc, France ^²⁴⁰⁸ at age 38.

General Notes: The following post to SGM, 25 Apr 2001, by Peter Stewart gives info on Tancred's wives (note that I have Muriella as daughter of Richard I & Fressendis as daughter of Richard II):

From: Stewart, Peter ([email protected])
Subject: RE: Tancred de Hauteville's wife
Newsgroups: soc.genealogy.medieval
Date: 2001-04-25 21:52:32 PST

It is thought possible - not quite the same as believed to be "correct" - that Tancred's wives Muriella and Fressendis were illegitimate daughters of Richard II (the Good) of Normandy. They were probably related in some way, and for all I know it may be that at least Muriella was old enough to have been a daughter of Richard I (the Fearless) - but Fressendis seems to have belonged more certainly to a younger generation. (She is credited with at least nine children born up to ca 1045/50, making it unlikely that her father died in 996.)

A good source for this part of the Hauteville family is Huguette Taviani-Carozzi's *La terreur du monde: Robert Guiscard at la conquête normande en Italie, mythe et histoire* (Paris, 1996).

Noted events in his life were:

128710235600.

General Notes: Despite many sources that indicate this pedigree including Stephanie/Etienette's mother and father, her mother did not exist, and her father may not have married or had children. Clemence de Foix was "calculated to have existed" based on certain evidence which proved false. Some people think that Stephanie/Etienette was Ettienette, daughter of one of the Ramon Berenger, Counts of Barcelona. I am leaving the pedigree in place for these three people until more information is available.

General Notes: Turton has the order of Thietburga/Tetburge's husbands in the reverse of AR.

AR does not identify Thietburga's ancestry.

Turton & Michel Dourneau have Thietburga named "T(h)etberge of Rheinfelden", daughter of Rudolf von Rheinfelden (he calls him "Rudolph of Germany"), but others, including Ed Mann in soc.genealogy.medieval, have her as "of Savoy". Switching the marriages produces a younger Tetberge, who may have had different parents than Turton identified. Rudolf von Rheinfelden is elsewhere in my files. @@check ancestry
