        Yves de Creil was a vassal of Hugues Capet, Duke of France and was also close to the Duke of Normandy. In 960 he was with Richard I (Duke) of Normandy when he defeated the armies of Thibault of Blois, taking & mostly destroying the towns of Chartres and Corbon (Mortagne).

        The Seigniory of Belleme was then created for Yves, by Hugues Capet, at the expense and opposition of Thibault 'le Tricheur/the Cheat' Count of Chartres and Blois. Yves de Belleme was immediately in conflict with Hugues I Count of Maine, who managed to take part of the Saosnois, and, with the Count du Perche allied with Thibault of Blois in common opposition & protection in particular against the Dukes of Normandy. Yves had the feudal fortress of Belleme built.

    Note: Moriarty p11 & 12 indicates he was living 1005, but unfortunately I did not note Moriarty's source of this & think it suspect.
