Clovis became king of Tournai at the death of his father Childeric I in 481. By unifying the Franks and bringing most of Gaul and the Germanic lands under his control, Clovis became the founder of the Frankish Kingdom.

In 486 Clovis decisively defeated General Syagrius, son of Aegidius, the last Roman governor of northern Gaul, and set up his capital at Soissons. In 490-491 he took possession of the Salian Kingdoms of Cambrai and Tongres. In 496 he repelled an invasion of the Alamanni by invoking the God of his Christian wife according to legend. After completely defeating the Alamanni in 506, Clovis marched against the Visigoths in southwestern Gaul. He defeated Alaric II, king of the Visigoths, near Poitiers in 507. Clovis made Paris his capital in 508.

Clothilde, his wife, was Arian by religion but with strong Roman Catholic tendencies. This marriage was of primary importance, as the real shape of France dated from it. It was she who led her husband to abandon his old beliefs and embrace Christianity. He was baptized in the 15th year of his reign at Rheims on Christmas Day in 496 along with 3000 of his followers.

Preface
page 365
CAXTON, a small market town and parish in the hundred of LONGSTOW, county of CAMBRIDGE, 10½ miles (W. by S.) from Cambridge, and 49 (N.N.W.) from London, containing 406 inhabitants. This place, one of the oldest post towns in the country, is situated on the Roman Ermin-street, which passes through the town from Holm to Papworth: the houses are, in general, irregularly built and of mean appearance; there are some good inns, and the trade of the place arises chiefly from its situation on the old north road to York. The market, granted to Baldwin Freville in 1247, is on Tuesday: fairs, principally for pedlary, are held, May 5th and October 18th. The living is a discharged vicarage, in the archdeaconry and diocese of Ely, rated in the king's books at £7. 12. 4., and in the patronage of the Dean and Canons of Windsor. The church, dedicated to St. Andrew, contains several memorials of the Barnard family, and a handsome monument to the memory of Mary, wife of John Hanson. Robert Langwith, in 1581, bequeathed £31. 10. per annum, for the benefit of eight of the poorest housekeepers, and for four sermons to be preached quarterly in the church. Matthew Paris, a Benedictine monk, who flourished in the reign of Henry III., and who wrote a history of the world from the creation to the year of his death, which happened in 1259, was a native of this place. It has been erroneously stated that Caxton, who introduced the art of printing into England, was born in this parish; but his own memoirs refer his birth and education to the county of Kent.

Alfred the Great
Corbis-Bettmann

also spelled AELFRED, byname ALFRED THE GREAT (b. 849--d. 899), king of Wessex (871-899), a Saxon kingdom in southwestern England. He prevented England from falling to the Danes and promoted learning and literacy. Compilation of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle began during his reign, c. 890. (see also Index: Denmark)
When he was born, it must have seemed unlikely that Alfred would become king, since he had four older brothers; he said that he never desired royal power. Perhaps a scholar's life would have contented him. His mother early aroused his interest in English poetry, and from his boyhood he also hankered after Latin learning, possibly stimulated by visits to Rome in 853 and 855. It is possible also that he was aware of and admired the great Frankish king Charlemagne, who had at the beginning of the century revived learning in his realm. Alfred had no opportunity to acquire the education he sought, however, until much later in life.

He probably received the education in military arts normal for a young man of rank. He first appeared on active service in 868, when he and his brother, King Aethelred (Ethelred) I, went to help Burgred of Mercia (the kingdom between the Thames and the Humber) against a great Danish army that had landed in East Anglia in 865 and taken possession of Northumbria in 867. The Danes refused to give battle, and peace was made. In this year Alfred married Ealhswith, descended through her mother from Mercian kings. Late in 871, the Danes invaded Wessex, and Aethelred and Alfred fought several battles with them. Aethelred died in 871 and Alfred succeeded him. After an unsuccessful battle at Wilton he made peace. It was probably the quality of the West Saxon resistance that discouraged Danish attacks for five years.

In 876 the Danes again advanced on Wessex: they retired in 877 having accomplished little, but a surprise attack in January 878 came near to success. The Danes established themselves at Chippenham, and the West Saxons submitted "except King Alfred." He harassed the Danes from a fort in the Somerset marshes, and until seven weeks after Easter he secretly assembled an army, which defeated them at the Battle of Edington. They surrendered, and their king, Guthrum, was baptized, Alfred standing as sponsor; the following year they settled in East Anglia.

Wessex was never again in such danger. Alfred had a respite from fighting until 885, when he repelled an invasion of Kent by a Danish army, supported by the East Anglian Danes. In 886 he took the offensive and captured London, a success that brought all the English not under Danish rule to accept him as king. The possession of London also made possible the reconquest of the Danish territories in his son's reign, and Alfred may have been preparing for this, though he could make no further advance himself. He had to meet a serious attack by a large Danish force from the European continent in 892, and it was not until 896 that it gave up the struggle.

The failure of the Danes to make any more advances against Alfred was largely a result of the defensive measures he undertook during the war. Old forts were strengthened and new ones built at strategic sites, and arrangements were made for their continual manning. Alfred reorganized his army and used ships against the invaders as early as 875. Later he had larger ships built to his own design for use against the coastal raids that continued even after 896. Wise diplomacy also helped Alfred's defense. He maintained friendly relations with Mercia and Wales; Welsh rulers sought his support and supplied some troops for his army in 893.

Alfred succeeded in government as well as at war. He was a wise administrator, organizing his finances and the service due from his thanes (noble followers). He scrutinized the administration of justice and took steps to ensure the protection of the weak from oppression by ignorant or corrupt judges. He promulgated an important code of laws, after studying the principles of lawgiving in the Book of Exodus and the codes of Aethelbert of Kent, Ine of Wessex (688-694), and Offa of Mercia (757-796), again with special attention to the protection of the weak and dependent. While avoiding unnecessary changes in custom, he limited the practice of the blood feud and imposed heavy penalties for breach of oath or pledge.

Alfred is most exceptional, however, not for his generalship or his administration but for his attitude toward learning. He shared the contemporary view that Viking raids were a divine punishment for the people's sins, and he attributed these to the decline of learning, for only through learning could men acquire wisdom and live in accordance with God's will. Hence, in the lull from attack between 878 and 885, he invited scholars to his court from Mercia, Wales, and the European continent. He learned Latin himself and began to translate Latin books into English in 887. He directed that all young freemen of adequate means must learn to read English, and, by his own translations and those of his helpers, he made available English versions of "those books most necessary for all men to know," books that would lead them to wisdom and virtue. The Ecclesiastical History of the English People, by the English historian Bede, and the Seven Books of Histories Against the Pagans, by Paulus Orosius, a 5th-century theologian--neither of which was translated by Alfred himself, though they have been credited to him--revealed the divine purpose in history. Alfred's translation of the Pastoral Care of St. Gregory I, the great 6th-century pope, provided a manual for priests in the instruction of their flocks, and a translation by Bishop Werferth of Gregory's Dialogues supplied edifying reading on holy men. Alfred's rendering of the Soliloquies of the 5th-century theologian St. Augustine of Hippo, to which he added material from other works of the Fathers of the Church, discussed problems concerning faith and reason and the nature of eternal life. This translation deserves to be studied in its own right, as does his rendering of Boethius' Consolation of Philosophy. In considering what is true happiness and the relation of providence to faith and of predestination to free will, Alfred does not fully accept Boethius' position but depends more on the early Fathers. In both works, additions include parallels from contemporary conditions, sometimes revealing his views on the social order and the duties of kingship. Alfred wrote for the benefit of his people, but he was also deeply interested in theological problems for their own sake and commissioned the first of the translations, Gregory's Dialogues, "that in the midst of earthly troubles he might sometimes think of heavenly things." He may also have done a translation of the first 50 psalms. Though not Alfred's work, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, one of the greatest sources of information about Saxon England, which began to be circulated about 890, may have its origin in the intellectual interests awakened by the revival of learning under him. His reign also saw activity in building and in art, and foreign craftsmen were attracted to his court. (see also Index: "Pastoral Care," )

In one of his endeavours, however, Alfred had little success; he tried to revive monasticism, founding a monastery and a nunnery, but there was little enthusiasm in England for the monastic life until after the revivals on the European continent in the next century.

Alfred, alone of Anglo-Saxon kings, inspired a full-length biography, written in 893, by the Welsh scholar Asser. This work contains much valuable information, and it reveals that Alfred laboured throughout under the burden of recurrent, painful illness; and beneath Asser's rhetoric can be seen a man of attractive character, full of compassion, able to inspire affection, and intensely conscious of the responsibilities of kingly office. This picture is confirmed by Alfred's laws and writings.

Alfred was never forgotten: his memory lived on through the Middle Ages and in legend as that of a king who won victory in apparently hopeless circumstances and as a wise lawgiver. Some of his works were copied as late as the 12th century. Modern studies have increased knowledge of him but have not altered in its essentials the medieval conception of a great king. ( D.W.)

Alfred became king of Wessex more by circumstance than birth. Alfred has been acknowledged as having four elder brothers and one sister. All the brothers except Aethelstan, who died about 850, reigned in turn from second to last born following the death of their father Aethelwulf in 855. The only sister was named Aethelswith.

Aethelbald reigned 855-860
Aethelbert reigned 860-866
Aethelred reigned 866-871

Alfred reigned 871-899. He prevented the Danish conquest of England, defeating them at Edington in 878 after a campaign of guerilla warfare. After his victory he allowed the Danes to keep their conquests in Mercia and East Anglia provided that Guthrum, their king, was converted to Christianity. Alfred built the English Navy.

Young Alfred, according to the historian Asser, Bishop of Sherborne, was a comely person and of a sweeter disposition than is older brothers and consequently became the favorite of both his parents and was sent by them to Rome, while still a child in order that he might be anointed king by the Pope. But though Ethelwulf showed this especial instance of regard for his son, he altogether neglected his education, and the young prince in his twelfth year had not learned to read or write. But if he could not read for himself he nevertheless loved to listen to the rude but inspiring strains fo Saxon poetry when recited by others, and had he not been a king and statesman, he might easily have been a poet. Alfred succeeded as king at a period when the whole country was suffering under the ravages of the Danes and the general misery was yet further increased by a raging pestilence, along with the general dissentions of the people.

Alfred began as second in command to his elder brother, Aethelred I. There were no jealousies between them, but a marked difference of temperament. Aethelred inclined toward a religious viewpoint that faith and prayer were the prime agencies by which the heathen would be overcome. Alfred, though also devout, laid the emphasis upon policy and arms. He became King at age 23. He married lady Alswitha (Ealhswith), daughter of Ethelan, the Earl of Mercia, lineally descended from Crioda, first Earl of Mercia who died in 594.

Alfred was driven into hiding by a Viking raid into Wessex led by Guthorm, taking refuge in the Athelny marshes in Somerset. However, he gathered his forces and defeated the Danes at the battle of Eddington in 878. In the peace that followed, Guthorm received Christian baptism and Alfred recognized Danish control over East Anglia and parts of Mercia. This partition of England became known as the Danelaw. By 866, when he took London, Alfred was in control ofall non-Danish England. more than a military leader, Alfred was a codifier of law, promoter of education and supporter of the arts.

Alfred was regarded as one of the noblest monarchs in British history. No name in English history is so justly popular as his. That he taught his people to defend themselves and defeat their enemies is the least of the many claims to our grateful admiration; he did much more than this. He launched his people upon a great advance of civilazation and showed a horde of untaught countrymen that there were other and worthier pursuits than war or the pleasure of the table. "He was indeed one of those highly gifted men that would seem to be especially raised up by Providence to protect and advance his people."

Thanks and Happy Hunting! D. 0360 Hastila !NOTES:  Was slain by Emperor Julian 2 APR 742 - 28 JAN 812/813 Charlemagne Carolingian Charlemagne was probably born in 742 at Aachen. In 768 he and his brother Carloman inherited the Frankish kingdom (most of present-day France and a part of western Germany) from their father PEPIN THE SHORT. The entire kingdom passed to Charlemagne when Carloman died in 771.

Conquests

Charlemagne inherited great wealth and a strong military organization from his father and brother. He used these assets to double the territory under Carolingian control. In 772 he opened his offensive against the SAXONS, and for more than three decades he pursued a ruthless policy aimed at subjugating them and converting them to Christianity. Almost every year Charlemagne attacked one or another region of Saxon territory. Mass executions--4,500 Saxons were executed on a single day in 782--and deportations were used to discourage the stubborn.

The Saxons proved to be a far more difficult enemy than any of the other peoples subjugated by Charlemagne. For example, the LOMBARDS were conquered in a single extended campaign (773-74), after which Charlemagne assumed the title "king of the Lombards." In 788 he absorbed the duchy of Bavaria, and soon thereafter he launched an offensive against the AVAR empire. The Avars succumbed within a decade, yielding Charlemagne a vast hoard of gold and silver. After one disastrous campaign (778) against the Muslims in Spain, Charlemagne left the southwestern front to his son Louis. The latter (later Emperor LOUIS I), with the help of local Christian rulers, conquered Barcelona in 801 and controlled much of Catalonia by 814.

On Christmas Day, 800, Charlemagne accepted the title of emperor and was crowned by Pope LEO III. For several years after he regarded the imperial title as being of little value. Moreover, he intended to divide his lands and titles among his sons, as was the Frankish custom. At his death on Jan. 28, 814, however, only one son, Louis, survived; Louis therefore assumed control of the entire Frankish empire.

Administration

The internal organization of Charlemagne's empire varied from region to region. In much of what is today France, and especially in the south, the old Roman civitates (fortified cities) served as the focus of most important aspects of political, military, religious, and social organization. Both the count of the city, appointed by Charlemagne as his representative, and the bishop made their respective headquarters in the civitas. The count or his agent led the local army, and the walls of the civitates afforded protection for the inhabitants both of the city and the nearby countryside.

In those parts of the empire which had not been part of the Roman world, Charlemagne made an effort to impose a similar system. He divided newly conquered lands into pagi (districts), which were placed under the jurisdiction of counts who exercised the same kind of administrative powers of their counterparts to the west. Charlemagne also sought to establish these new pagi as dioceses. In frontier areas, Charlemagne often established districts that were essentially military in their purpose and organization; these were called marks or marches.

Local customs were everywhere perpetuated by recognition of traditional laws. The laws, some unwritten, of each of the various peoples of the Carolingian empire, such as Salian Franks, Ripuarian Franks, Romans, Saxons, Lombards, Bavarians, Thuringians, and Jews, were codified; if local codes already existed, they were recognized. This judicial autonomy enjoyed by the several peoples of the empire indicates the diversity that not only existed but flourished under Charlemagne. The emperor did, however, legislate to provide a system by which these various peoples could interact.

The central administration of the empire, like the local administrations, was rudimentary. A palatine court followed Charlemagne on his numerous campaigns; during the later years of his life, when he remained at AACHEN, the court stayed there. Charlemagne also sent missi dominici, high-ranking agents of the central government, from the court to see that his orders, often cast in the form of capitularies (ordinances divided into capitula, or chapters), were enforced. As part of his administrative efforts, Charlemagne sought to standardize weights, measures, and coinage. He also made an attempt to control and develop trade. To these ends he strongly encouraged the development of Jewish communities.

Cultural Development

Charlemagne's concern for administration and his interest in seeing the church function effectively led him to encourage a rudimentary educational system based in monasteries. Thus a small group of clerical and lay administrators attained a useful level of literacy. Charlemagne left the development and implementation of this system largely to ALCUIN. The latter's work led to what some scholars have called the Carolingian Renaissance. At Charlemagne's court a group of scholars was gathered that included men from England, Spain, and Italy, as well as native Franks and probably Jews.

Evaluation

Charlemagne has been credited with great political and humanitarian vision and a devout religious bent; as a result, some have been led to think of his military ventures as crusades. In fact, he was a gluttonous and superstitious illiterate, or semiliterate, who had a considerable capacity for brutality. His accomplishments were due mostly to the energy with which he pursued his military goals and the ruthlessness with which he treated any opponents. Nonetheless, his achievements were considerable, and the effect of his conquests was to spread Roman Christianity across central Europe.

Charlemagne was probably born in 742 at Aachen. In 768 he and his brother Carloman inherited the Frankish kingdom (most of present-day France and a part of western Germany) from their father PEPIN THE SHORT. The entire kingdom passed to Charlemagne when Carloman died in 771.

Conquests

Charlemagne inherited great wealth and a strong military organization from his father and brother. He used these assets to double the territory under Carolingian control. In 772 he opened his offensive against the SAXONS, and for more than three decades he pursued a ruthless policy aimed at subjugating them and converting them to Christianity. Almost every year Charlemagne attacked one or another region of Saxon territory. Mass executions--4,500 Saxons were executed on a single day in 782--and deportations were used to discourage the stubborn.

The Saxons proved to be a far more difficult enemy than any of the other peoples subjugated by Charlemagne. For example, the LOMBARDS were conquered in a single extended campaign (773-74), after which Charlemagne assumed the title "king of the Lombards." In 788 he absorbed the duchy of Bavaria, and soon thereafter he launched an offensive against the AVAR empire. The Avars succumbed within a decade, yielding Charlemagne a vast hoard of gold and silver.

Charlemagne known as Rex Francorum et Langobardorum. He was born April 2, 742 in Aachen, Neustrie. Between the years 767 and 814, Charlemagne's title after 800 A.D. was Carolus serenissimus augustus a Deo coronatus magnus et pacificus imperator Romanum gubernans imperium, qui est per misericordium Dei rex Francorum et Langobardorum. It was designed to include the Romas in the Frankish empire without centering the Empire upon them. Charlemagne stressed the royal and Frankish bases for his power. Charlemagne was also referred to as Charles.

The Franks, over whom Charlemagne came to reign in the year 768, were originally a loose confederation of Germanic tribes. By the 6th century they had begun to force their way into Gaul (France and Belgium), and there they eventually settled. The modern name of France comes from the word "frank". The Franks ousted the Gallic landowners who were the last remnants of the Roman Empire, conquered the Visigoths in the south of France, and fought other Germanic tribes such as the Burgundians and the Alamanni. The great Frankish leader who unified the confederacy into a powerful entity was Clovis, first of the Merovingian kings. These rulers were replaced several centuries later by the House of St. Arnulf, the family line of Charlemagne.

The Merovingian dynasty developed the Franks into a national entity and made many conquests. However, by the 7th century, the powerful blood of Clovis had been diluted considerably and King Sigibert III of the Merovings was a mere puppet under the control of his Mayor of the Palace. It was from these Mayors of the Palace - senior officers of the royal house - that Charlemagne's ancestors were eventually to become kings.

The following is a description of Charlemagne from his chroniclers: He was tall and stoutly built. His height just 7 times the length of his foot. His head was round, his eyes large and lively, his nose somewhat above the common size, his expression bright and cheerful. His health was excellent. He frequently rode and hunted and enjoyed swimming. His capital city of Aachen (Aix la Chapelle) was partly chosen because of its hot springs, where Charles swam daily in the great bath.

Charlemagne was the King of Franks 767-814, and Emperor of the West from Dec. 25, 800 ; King of the Francs (767-814) ; and Emperor of the Occident (800-814). Charlemagne succeeded his father, Pepin Le Bref, in 768 and reigned with his brother Carloman. Between 782 and 785 hardly a year passed without confrontation with the Saxons. In 772, during the first major expedition, the Irminsul was destroyed. That year also saw the beginning of a 30 year war against the Saxons as the Francs ravaged the Saxon land by steel and by fore.

In 773, the Francs routed the Lombards who sought refuge in Pavia. Gerberge and her children then took refuge in Verona where Charles took them prisoners. Didier's son, Adalgise, successfully escaped the assaults and spent the rest of his life in Constantinople. On June 5, 774, Charles reclaimed the title of King of the Lombards and of the Francs as he triumphantly entered Pavia. In 775 the castle of Siegburg and the castle of Eresburg were reorganized. Near Hoxter, a large number of Westphalian Saxons were slaughtered in the Sachsen-graben. In 777, at Paderborn, an assembly inaugurated the ecclesiastical organization of Saxony, which divided the country into
missionary zones. In 777, Charles had been visited by Solaman, Ibn-al-Arabi, who had turned against his master, the Emire Abd-al-Rahman and offered Charles the cities entrusted to his care.

In 778, Charles crosses the Pyrenees, occupies Pampelune, and marched on Sarabossa. But upon learning that the Saxons had once more rebelled and were crossing the Rhine, he turned back. On August 15, the rear guard, under the command of the Seneschal Eginhard, the Count of the Palace Anselm, and of Roland, Duke of the Marche of Brittany, was attacked by Basques or Gascons forces. In the meantime, the Saxons ravaged the Frankish holdings from Cologne to the Moselle. In 779 and 781, Widukind, a Westphalian noble, defeated the
Frankish armies in the Sutel mountains. Charlemagne is reputed to have 4,500 Saxons beheaded in Verdun. In 782, the country was divided into counties administered by Saxon. At Attigny, in 785, Widukind and his son-in-law, Abbi, submittted to Charlemagne who enforced their baptism and became their Godfather. In December 795, Hadrian I was succeeded by Pope Leon III. By 797, Saxony was conquered. In a brilliant military campaign (773-774), he put an end to the Lombard Dynasty and took the title King of the Lombards. He conquered Bavaria (781-788) and then the land of the Avares (792-799), a people related to the Huns. 797 proved to be a year of diplomacy. In the early part of the year, several Sarasin chiefs ( Zata and Abdallah) gave homage to Charlemagne at Aix and Gerona, Caserres and Vich became occupied by the Francs. While in Aix, Charlemagne also received the ambassador of the Emperor of Constantinople, Constantin VI, arriving with offers of friendship. In Heerstall, later in the year, the Huns made peace. Charlemagne also received the ambassodor from Alfonzo, King of Galicia and of the Asturias. On April 25, 799, the Feast of St. Mark, the Pope is assailed by aristocrats loyal to Byzantium in front of the Church of St. Stephen and Sylvester. He was thrown in the monastery of St. Erasmus, but escaped and sought refuge under the Duke of Spoleto.

On Dec. 23, 800 , according to the Liber Pontificalis, the Pope was cleared of all charges brought by the rebellious aristocrats. Charlemagne's task was to determine the  appropriate punishment for those who had perpetrated the assault on the Holy Father. On Dec. 25, 800, Pope Leon III, crowned him Emperor of the Occident. This was made possible because the Emperor Constatin VI had effectively been dethroned by his mother, Irene, who had him blinded and then proclaimed herself the "Basileus". Unfortunately a throne occupied by a woman according to Nomen Imperatoris, is a vacant one. The day after the crowning, Pope Leon III proclaimed the year ONE of the Empire, and the money was stamped with the Pope's image on one side and that of Charlemagne on the other.

On the death of his 3rd wife, Charles lived with no less than 3 concubines who bore him numerous children. This pagan kingly behavior gave rise to criticism from the Church. The relaxed morality of Charles himself extended to some members of his large family. Two of his daughters lived in "sin" without any comment from their father, but as soon as Louis the Pious inherited the crown, he banished these sisters to appease the Church.

Charles died after complications following a winter cold. He was buried in the cathedral at Aachen, in a sacrophagus taken from an ancient Roman site somewhere in Italy. A golden shrine was placed over his tomb, with an image of Charles and the simple inscription (translated): Within this tomb is laid the body of the Christian Emperor Charlemagne, who guided the kingdom of the Franks with distinction and ruled in with success for 47 years.

He had a total of 10 spouses of which five were lawful. He was the King of Franks 768-814 as was also known as Charles the Great or Carlus Magnus.


*************************


The battle of the Pyrenees is the subject of one of the most well-known medieval epics, "The Song of Roland". The following is taken from the introduction to "The Song of Roland", in "Medieval Epics", translated by W.S. Merwin, Modern Library, Random House, New York, 1963.

Some time near the end of July, Charles Martel (Charles the King, Charles the Emperor, Charles the Great, Charlemagne) turned his army north toward the Pyrenees and France. The year was 778. He was thirty-six years old and he was not used to failure, but even the royal chroniclers would have difficulty in trying to describe his ambitious summer campaign in Spain as though it had been a success.

It had not been hastily conceived. Suleiman, the Moorish governor of Barcelona, had visited Charles in the spring of 777 to urge him to cross the Pyrenees, and the request, and Charles' response to it, were both influenced by dynastic and religious promptings which had histories of their own.

Suleiman was a member of the Abassid dynasty, descended from an uncle of Mohammed. Earlier in the century the Abassids had overthrown the reigning Umayyad dynasty and assassinated every member of it except one, Abdur Rahman, who had escaped to Spain and established himself there as the Emir. Suleiman's hatred of Rahman was understandable, and it had already led him to seek and to obtain the protection of his Christian neighbor, King Pepin of France, Charles' father.

There were other reasons why Charles would have been sympathetic to Suleiman. He was himself a member of a young dynasty, a matter of subtle importance in a world governed to a great degree by tradition. And then, Abdur Rahman, as the last representative of the Umayyads, stood for the family which, half a century before, had commanded the great Moorish invasion of France. At that time the apparently invincible Umayyads had forced their way as far north as Tours before Charles' grandfather, Charles Martel, turned them back. It was the Umayyads whom Charles' father, Pepin, had fought and at last driven from France.

But doubtless none of these considerations would have impelled Charles to cross the Pyrenees if it had not been for a more powerful and obvious motive: his own ambition. In the first nine years of his reign he had conquered Aquitaine, beaten the Saxons and the Lombards, and become the official guardian of Christendom, whose boundaries he had extended to the north and east. An expedition into Spain would give him a chance to unify the different parts of his realm in a common effort, and incidentally to conquer the as yet unsubjected Basque provinces. Suleiman probably stressed the apparent fact that Rahman was a menace to Charles' southern frontier, and very possibly he would have told the French king that if he were to attack Rahman now he could not help succeeding, that the Abassids themselves were raising an army of Berbers to send against the Umayyad, and that the people of Spain were on the point of rebellion. The exact details of the embassage and the terms of the agreement that was reached are not known. But by Easter 778 Charles was in Poitou with an immense army recruited from every part of his kingdom: it included Goths, contingents from Septimania and Provence, Austrasians, Neustrians, Lombards, Burgundians, and Bavarians. After Easter he crossed the western end of the Pyrenees, through the Basque country, at the head of half his army. He sent the other half around the eastern end of the mountains. They were to meet before Saragossa.

Just what happened that summer was carefully obscured in the accounts and will never be known. Certainly there were no great triumphs. The Christian natives of Spain did not hasten to overthrow the tolerant Moorish rule and welcome the Franks; on the contrary, the Christians of the kingdom of Asturias preferred their own independence to the presence of a foreign army however dear to the Pope. It is also possible that they were in league with Rahman. At any rate they resisted the Franks. The Christian city of Pampelona refused entry to Charles and had to be stormed; it was the only city in the entire campaign which was actually taken. The native rebellion against Rahman never amounted to much and Suleiman himself had a falling out with his Moorish allies on the African continent. When the Frankish army assembled before Saragossa the city defied it, despite Suleiman's diplomatic efforts; it is not known how hard Charles tried to take it, but he had no siege machinery, and he failed. By some time in July he had received the formal surrender of a few cities -- a gesture which may have owed as much to his alliance with Suleiman as it did to his own army -- and he had gained some hostages, and little else. There is no way of knowing just why he abandoned the campaign so early in the summer. It is possible that he saw nothing to be gained by staying, in the circumstances, and was simply cutting his losses. Supplies may have run dangerously low. It is conceivable that the campaign had turned out far worse than the accounts would lead us to suppose, and that the army was in fact retreating. Even if that were so it cannot have been a rushed or disorderly retreat: in August the army stopped at Pampelona long enough to raze the walls of the city to punish the inhabitants for their resistance, and no doubt to weaken the Spanish side of the frontier. It has been suggested (by Fawtier) that if Charles had not been in a hurry, for some reason, he would have paused long enough to celebrate the important feast of the Dormition of the Virgin on August 15th. At any event he did not do so, but pushed on into the Pyrenees.

What happened next is one of the great riddles. In the earliest history of Charles' expedition, the one included in a chronicle known as the Annales Royales, there is no reference to any military action whatever in the Pyrenees. All later writers on the subject have agreed that the author had something of importance to be silent about. Of such importance, in fact, that his immediate successors evidently felt that mere silence would not serve to conceal it, and set about explaining it. The original Annales were rewritten and expanded roughly a quarter of a century after they were first compiled. It was long thought that the rewriting was done by Charlemagne's biographer Einhard, and though it is now certain that the changes are not his, the second edition of the chronicle is still referred to as the Annales dites d'Einhard. In this work there is a brief and contradictory account of something which happened on the way back from Spain. The Basques, it says here, from positions at the tops of the mountains attacked the rear guard and put the whole army in disorder; the Franks were caught at a disadvantage and did badly; most of the commanders of the different sections of the army were killed, and the enemy, helped by the nature of the terrain, managed to carry off the baggage and escape. There is a reference, too, to the bitterness of Charles' grief.

Then there is Einhard's own account. In the first place he is more ingenious than his predecessors at making it sound as though the Spanish campaign had been a success; then, having built up the picture, he sets against it the Pyrenean ambush on the way back as a relatively minor mishap. It was the treacherous Gascons, he says; they waited until the army was spread out in a long line in the gorges, and then they rushed down and threw the baggage train and the rear guard into confusion. There was a battle in the valley and the Franks were thrown back. The Gascons killed their opponents, the rear guard, to a man, seized the baggage, and scattered under cover of night. Their flight was made easier by their light armor and the nature of the terrain. And then Einhard says, "In this battle Egginhard the royal seneschal, Anselm the Count of the Palace, and Hruodland, the Warden of the Breton Marches, were killed, with very many others." It is one of the only two glimpses in history of the knight whose name would come to evoke one of the richest bodies of legend in the Middle Ages, and one of its greatest poems. The other is a coin, worn, but still displaying on one side the name Carlus, and on the reverse, Rodlan.
One final mention of the battle, by the chroniclers, is of interest. While the army was making its way back from Spain, Charlemagne's wife, in France, gave birth to a son, Louis, who would be his heir. Sixty years after the battle Louis' own biographer, a writer known as The Astronome, in speaking of it said that the names of those who fell in that action were so well known that there was no need to repeat them.

Of all the battles of the period, this one probably has excited most curiosity, and almost nothing about it is definitely known. It is not mere historical interest in the sources of the Roland story which still draws the speculation of scholars to what scanty evidence has come down to our times. In this case the theories of how the legend developed from the event are even more than usually dependent upon a notion of what the event was: a bitter but militarily unimportant misfortune, on the one hand, or one of the critical defeats of Charlemagne's reign, on the other.

Bedier, one of the great students of medieval literature in modem times and the editor of the Oxford text of La Chanson de Roland, propounded the theory of the development of the legend which was generally accepted for years. The battle, he believed, was a minor event which had been remembered in the area near the battlefield and had become a local legend; from those beginnings it had been retold and developed in monasteries and pilgrim sanctuaries along the route leading to Santiago de Compostella, in Spain; the route crossed the Pyrenees at Roncevaux -- the Roncesvalles associated with the Roland story. Bedier, incidentally, was convinced that a number of the French chansons de geste developed in more or less the same way and may have been written by monks, or at least in collaboration with monks. With reference to the Roland, in particular, he cites the fact that the pass at Roncevaux was commended for admiration (complete with a monumental cross said to be Carolingian and other relics claiming descent from Roland and the battle) by the monks at Roncevaux in the twelfth century; he points out that one variant of the Roland legend is contained in a twelfth-century guide written for the benefit of pilgrims to Santiago de Compostella.

Bedier's theory was published just before World War I. It was subjected to criticism in the following decades by a number of scholars; one of the most interesting countertheories was put forward by Fawtier (La Chanson de Roland) in 1933. Fawtier analyzes the chroniclers' references to the battle and bases his conclusions, in great part, on the weaknesses in their accounts. The chroniclers, he insists, cannot have it both ways. Was it merely a massacre of the rear guard, or did it in fact involve the whole army and "throw it into disorder"? He poses some other interesting questions. Why, for instance, should the baggage train have been at the rear of the march, when it was usual to have it in the middle, especially in mountain country? Why should so many of the leaders of the different sections of the army have been in the rear guard (of course the legend itself, with its story of the Ganelon-Roland dispute, answers this one, but the legend in its final form came much later and a great part of it is concerned with the peculiar drama of this very situation). How many of these details, and how much of the picture of the lightning raid from the mountain tops may have been attempts to minimize and explain away a terrible defeat which had happened while Charles himself was in command?

In Fawtier's view, the battle, whether it took place at Roncevaux or elsewhere, was one of the great disasters of Charlemagne's career. The army, hurrying into the Pyrenees, was caught in a classical ambush: the van was blocked, the rear was then attacked, and the Franks had to fight their way forward, section by section, suffering losses so appalling that Charles never really managed to reassemble the survivors on the other side of the mountains, and instead set about hastily reorganizing the strong points in Aquitaine as though he expected further troubles from Spain. In fact the magnitude of the defeat was one of the things about the action which caught the popular imagination and contributed to the growth of the legend around the heroic figure of the doomed commander of the rear guard, Hruodland, Rodlan, Roland.

The legend may have grown in the region around Roncevaux, but it was elaborated in other parts of the kingdom too. By the late eleventh century, when the poem was written, it was possible for the poet to display, without fear of correction, an ignorance of the geography of Spain and, for that matter, of southern France, which indicates not only that he himself came from somewhere far from that part of the world, but also that the story and its heroes had long been familiar in places remote from the original battlefield. An audience at Roncevaux might just have been able to go along with the poet's assumption that Cordoba was near the hill city of Saragossa, which in turn was on the sea; it is unlikely that, even in the Middle Ages when simple experience was so meek an authority, they would have heard without a murmur that Narbonne and Bordeaux both lay on the same road north from Roncevaux. Furthermore, this shows a total ignorance of the Santiago pilgrim route and its monasteries, an interesting fact in view of the theory that the poem was composed in one of those places, on that route.

In Fawtier's opinion the story of the defeat was carried across France by its veterans, and in various localities, as it took on the character of legend through repetition, it was cast, in whole or in part, into the form of ballads. It is true that none of these survive, but then very little of the popular literature of the time has survived. The monks had nothing to do with the composition of La Chanson de Roland itself (although two other, later variants of the legend were composed by clerics). On the contrary, it was the legend, and perhaps the poem itself, which prompted the ecclesiastics at Roncevaux to exploit the pass as a pilgrim attraction -- an enterprise which may have contributed to the poem's preservation.

There has been considerable controversy as to just when La Chanson de Roland was written. It must have been some time in the latter half of the eleventh century, but it is not possible to be much more definite than that. The poem apparently was already well known in 1096 when, at the Council of Clermont, Pope Urban II made use of it in his appeal to the chivalry of France to follow in the steps of Charlemagne and send an army against Islam. Many of the crusaders who responded to Urban's summons, and many who came later, must have been following an image of themselves which derived, at least in part, from the legendary last battle of the now transfigured Hruodland.

The poem, in its original form, has not survived. Modern knowledge of it is confined to six different versions, whose separate relations to the original are not plain. There is, for instance, a twelfth century German translation by a Bavarian priest named Konrad. There is a Norse translation of the thirteenth century. There is a version in Franco-Italian, in the library of San Marco in Venice, which ends differently from the others. And there are three versions in French. One of them, known as Recension 0, or the Oxford version, has survived in a single copy, Digby Mss 23, at the Bodleian Library, Oxford. It is supposed that it was a jongleur's copy of the poem. It is the oldest of all the versions, the most beautiful, and must have been much the closest to the original. Bedier's famous edition of the poem is based on the Oxford version, which Bedier compares at all points with the others.

It was from these Mayors of the Palace - senior officers of the royal house - that Charlemagne's ancestors were eventually to become kings.

The following is a description of Charlemagne from his chroniclers: He was tall and stoutly built. His height just 7 times the length of his foot. His head was round, his eyes large and lively, his nose somewhat above the common size, his expression bright and cheerful. His health was excellent. He frequently rode and hunted and enjoyed swimming. His capital city of Aachen (Aix la Chapelle) was partly chosen because of its hot springs, where Charles swam daily in the great bath.

Charlemagne was the King of Franks 767-814, and Emperor of the West from Dec. 25, 800 ; King of the Francs (767-814) ; and Emperor of the Occident (800-814). Charlemagne succeeded his father, Pepin Le Bref, in 768 and reigned with his brother Carloman. Between 782 and 785 hardly a year passed without confrontation with the Saxons. In 772, during the first major expedition, the Irminsul was destroyed. That year also saw the beginning of a 30 year war against the Saxons as the Francs ravaged the Saxon land by steel and by fore.

In 773, the Francs routed the Lombards who sought refuge in Pavia. Gerberge and her children then took refuge in Verona where Charles took them prisoners. Didier's son, Adalgise, successfully escaped the assaults and spent the rest of his life in Constantinople. On June 5, 774, Charles reclaimed the title of King of the Lombards and of the Francs as he triumphantly entered Pavia. In 775 the castle of Siegburg and the castle of Eresburg were reorganized. Near Hoxter, a large number of Westphalian Saxons were slaughtered in the Sachsen-graben. In 777, at Paderborn, an assembly inaugurated the ecclesiastical organization of Saxony, which divided the country into
missionary zones. In 777, Charles had been visited by Solaman, Ibn-al-Arabi, who had turned against his master, the Emire Abd-al-Rahman and offered Charles the cities entrusted to his care.

In 778, Charles crosses the Pyrenees, occupies Pampelune, and marched on Sarabossa. But upon learning that the Saxons had once more rebelled and were crossing the Rhine, he turned back. On August 15, the rear guard, under the command of the Seneschal Eginhard, the Count of the Palace Anselm, and of Roland, Duke of the Marche of Brittany, was attacked by Basques or Gascons forces. In the meantime, the Saxons ravaged the Frankish holdings from Cologne to the Moselle. In 779 and 781, Widukind, a Westphalian noble, defeated the
Frankish armies in the Sutel mountains. Charlemagne is reputed to have 4,500 Saxons beheaded in Verdun. In 782, the country was divided into counties administered by Saxon. At Attigny, in 785, Widukind and his son-in-law, Abbi, submittted to Charlemagne who enforced their baptism and became their Godfather. In December 795, Hadrian I was succeeded by Pope Leon III. By 797, Saxony was conquered. In a brilliant military campaign (773-774), he put an end to the Lombard Dynasty and took the title King of the Lombards. He conquered Bavaria (781-788) and then the land of the Avares (792-799), a people related to the Huns. 797 proved to be a year of diplomacy. In the early part of the year, several Sarasin chiefs ( Zata and Abdallah) gave homage to Charlemagne at Aix and Gerona, Caserres and Vich became occupied by the Francs. While in Aix, Charlemagne also received the ambassador of the Emperor of Constantinople, Constantin VI, arriving with offers of friendship. In Heerstall, later in the year, the Huns made peace. Charlemagne also received the ambassodor from Alfonzo, King of Galicia and of the Asturias. On April 25, 799, the Feast of St. Mark, the Pope is assailed by aristocrats loyal to Byzantium in front of the Church of St. Stephen and Sylvester. He was thrown in the monastery of St. Erasmus, but escaped and sought refuge under the Duke of Spoleto.

On Dec. 23, 800 , according to the Liber Pontificalis, the Pope was cleared of all charges brought by the rebellious aristocrats. Charlemagne's task was to determine the  appropriate punishment for those who had perpetrated the assault on the Holy Father. On Dec. 25, 800, Pope Leon III, crowned him Emperor of the Occident. This was made possible because the Emperor Constatin VI had effectively been dethroned by his mother, Irene, who had him blinded and then proclaimed herself the "Basileus". Unfortunately a throne occupied by a woman according to Nomen Imperatoris, is a vacant one. The day after the crowning, Pope Leon III proclaimed the year ONE of the Empire, and the money was stamped with the Pope's image on one side and that of Charlemagne on the other.

On the death of his 3rd wife, Charles lived with no less than 3 concubines who bore him numerous children. This pagan kingly behavior gave rise to criticism from the Church. The relaxed morality of Charles himself extended to some members of his large family. Two of his daughters lived in "sin" without any comment from their father, but as soon as Louis the Pious inherited the crown, he banished these sisters to appease the Church.

Charles died after complications following a winter cold. He was buried in the cathedral at Aachen, in a sacrophagus taken from an ancient Roman site somewhere in Italy. A golden shrine was placed over his tomb, with an image of Charles and the simple inscription (translated): Within this tomb is laid the body of the Christian Emperor Charlemagne, who guided the kingdom of the Franks with distinction and ruled in with success for 47 years.

He had a total of 10 spouses of which five were lawful. He was the King of Franks 768-814 as was also known as Charles the Great or Carlus Magnus.

The battle of the Pyrenees is the subject of one of the most well-known medieval epics, "The Song of Roland". The following is taken from the introduction to "The Song of Roland", in "Medieval Epics", translated by W.S. Merwin, Modern Library, Random House, New York, 1963.

Some time near the end of July, Charles Martel (Charles the King, Charles the Emperor, Charles the Great, Charlemagne) turned his army north toward the Pyrenees and France. The year was 778. He was thirty-six years old and he was not used to failure, but even the royal chroniclers would have difficulty in trying to describe his ambitious summer campaign in Spain as though it had been a success.

It had not been hastily conceived. Suleiman, the Moorish governor of Barcelona, had visited Charles in the spring of 777 to urge him to cross the Pyrenees, and the request, and Charles' response to it, were both influenced by dynastic and religious promptings which had histories of their own.

Suleiman was a member of the Abassid dynasty, descended from an uncle of Mohammed. Earlier in the century the Abassids had overthrown the reigning Umayyad dynasty and assassinated every member of it except one, Abdur Rahman, who had escaped to Spain and established himself there as the Emir. Suleiman's hatred of Rahman was understandable, and it had already led him to seek and to obtain the protection of his Christian neighbor, King Pepin of France, Charles' father.

There were other reasons why Charles would have been sympathetic to Suleiman. He was himself a member of a young dynasty, a matter of subtle importance in a world governed to a great degree by tradition. And then, Abdur Rahman, as the last representative of the Umayyads, stood for the family which, half a century before, had commanded the great Moorish invasion of France. At that time the apparently invincible Umayyads had forced their way as far north as Tours before Charles' grandfather, Charles Martel, turned them back. It was the Umayyads whom Charles' father, Pepin, had fought and at last driven from France.

But doubtless none of these considerations would have impelled Charles to cross the Pyrenees if it had not been for a more powerful and obvious motive: his own ambition. In the first nine years of his reign he had conquered Aquitaine, beaten the Saxons and the Lombards, and become the official guardian of Christendom, whose boundaries he had extended to the north and east. An expedition into Spain would give him a chance to unify the different parts of his realm in a common effort, and incidentally to conquer the as yet unsubjected Basque provinces. Suleiman probably stressed the apparent fact that Rahman was a menace to Charles' southern frontier, and very possibly he would have told the French king that if he were to attack Rahman now he could not help succeeding, that the Abassids themselves were raising an army of Berbers to send against the Umayyad, and that the people of Spain were on the point of rebellion. The exact details of the embassage and the terms of the agreement that was reached are not known. But by Easter 778 Charles was in Poitou with an immense army recruited from every part of his kingdom: it included Goths, contingents from Septimania and Provence, Austrasians, Neustrians, Lombards, Burgundians, and Bavarians. After Easter he crossed the western end of the Pyrenees, through the Basque country, at the head of half his army. He sent the other half around the eastern end of the mountains. They were to meet before Saragossa.

Just what happened that summer was carefully obscured in the accounts and will never be known. Certainly there were no great triumphs. The Christian natives of Spain did not hasten to overthrow the tolerant Moorish rule and welcome the Franks; on the contrary, the Christians of the kingdom of Asturias preferred their own independence to the presence of a foreign army however dear to the Pope. It is also possible that they were in league with Rahman. At any rate they resisted the Franks. The Christian city of Pampelona refused entry to Charles and had to be stormed; it was the only city in the entire campaign which was actually taken. The native rebellion against Rahman never amounted to much and Suleiman himself had a falling out with his Moorish allies on the African continent. When the Frankish army assembled before Saragossa the city defied it, despite Suleiman's diplomatic efforts; it is not known how hard Charles tried to take it, but he had no siege machinery, and he failed. By some time in July he had received the formal surrender of a few cities -- a gesture which may have owed as much to his alliance with Suleiman as it did to his own army -- and he had gained some hostages, and little else. There is no way of knowing just why he abandoned the campaign so early in the summer. It is possible that he saw nothing to be gained by staying, in the circumstances, and was simply cutting his losses. Supplies may have run dangerously low. It is conceivable that the campaign had turned out far worse than the accounts would lead us to suppose, and that the army was in fact retreating. Even if that were so it cannot have been a rushed or disorderly retreat: in August the army stopped at Pampelona long enough to raze the walls of the city to punish the inhabitants for their resistance, and no doubt to weaken the Spanish side of the frontier. It has been suggested (by Fawtier) that if Charles had not been in a hurry, for some reason, he would have paused long enough to celebrate the important feast of the Dormition of the Virgin on August 15th. At any event he did not do so, but pushed on into the Pyrenees.

What happened next is one of the great riddles. In the earliest history of Charles' expedition, the one included in a chronicle known as the Annales Royales, there is no reference to any military action whatever in the Pyrenees. All later writers on the subject have agreed that the author had something of importance to be silent about. Of such importance, in fact, that his immediate successors evidently felt that mere silence would not serve to conceal it, and set about explaining it. The original Annales were rewritten and expanded roughly a quarter of a century after they were first compiled. It was long thought that the rewriting was done by Charlemagne's biographer Einhard, and though it is now certain that the changes are not his, the second edition of the chronicle is still referred to as the Annales dites d'Einhard. In this work there is a brief and contradictory account of something which happened on the way back from Spain. The Basques, it says here, from positions at the tops of the mountains attacked the rear guard and put the whole army in disorder; the Franks were caught at a disadvantage and did badly; most of the commanders of the different sections of the army were killed, and the enemy, helped by the nature of the terrain, managed to carry off the baggage and escape. There is a reference, too, to the bitterness of Charles' grief.

Then there is Einhard's own account. In the first place he is more ingenious than his predecessors at making it sound as though the Spanish campaign had been a success; then, having built up the picture, he sets against it the Pyrenean ambush on the way back as a relatively minor mishap. It was the treacherous Gascons, he says; they waited until the army was spread out in a long line in the gorges, and then they rushed down and threw the baggage train and the rear guard into confusion. There was a battle in the valley and the Franks were thrown back. The Gascons killed their opponents, the rear guard, to a man, seized the baggage, and scattered under cover of night. Their flight was made easier by their light armor and the nature of the terrain. And then Einhard says, "In this battle Egginhard the royal seneschal, Anselm the Count of the Palace, and Hruodland, the Warden of the Breton Marches, were killed, with very many others." It is one of the only two glimpses in history of the knight whose name would come to evoke one of the richest bodies of legend in the Middle Ages, and one of its greatest poems. The other is a coin, worn, but still displaying on one side the name Carlus, and on the reverse, Rodlan.
One final mention of the battle, by the chroniclers, is of interest. While the army was making its way back from Spain, Charlemagne's wife, in France, gave birth to a son, Louis, who would be his heir. Sixty years after the battle Louis' own biographer, a writer known as The Astronome, in speaking of it said that the names of those who fell in that action were so well known that there was no need to repeat them.

Of all the battles of the period, this one probably has excited most curiosity, and almost nothing about it is definitely known. It is not mere historical interest in the sources of the Roland story which still draws the speculation of scholars to what scanty evidence has come down to our times. In this case the theories of how the legend developed from the event are even more than usually dependent upon a notion of what the event was: a bitter but militarily unimportant misfortune, on the one hand, or one of the critical defeats of Charlemagne's reign, on the other.

Bedier, one of the great students of medieval literature in modem times and the editor of the Oxford text of La Chanson de Roland, propounded the theory of the development of the legend which was generally accepted for years. The battle, he believed, was a minor event which had been remembered in the area near the battlefield and had become a local legend; from those beginnings it had been retold and developed in monasteries and pilgrim sanctuaries along the route leading to Santiago de Compostella, in Spain; the route crossed the Pyrenees at Roncevaux -- the Roncesvalles associated with the Roland story. Bedier, incidentally, was convinced that a number of the French chansons de geste developed in more or less the same way and may have been written by monks, or at least in collaboration with monks. With reference to the Roland, in particular, he cites the fact that the pass at Roncevaux was commended for admiration (complete with a monumental cross said to be Carolingian and other relics claiming descent from Roland and the battle) by the monks at Roncevaux in the twelfth century; he points out that one variant of the Roland legend is contained in a twelfth-century guide written for the benefit of pilgrims to Santiago de Compostella.

Bedier's theory was published just before World War I. It was subjected to criticism in the following decades by a number of scholars; one of the most interesting countertheories was put forward by Fawtier (La Chanson de Roland) in 1933. Fawtier analyzes the chroniclers' references to the battle and bases his conclusions, in great part, on the weaknesses in their accounts. The chroniclers, he insists, cannot have it both ways. Was it merely a massacre of the rear guard, or did it in fact involve the whole army and "throw it into disorder"? He poses some other interesting questions. Why, for instance, should the baggage train have been at the rear of the march, when it was usual to have it in the middle, especially in mountain country? Why should so many of the leaders of the different sections of the army have been in the rear guard (of course the legend itself, with its story of the Ganelon-Roland dispute, answers this one, but the legend in its final form came much later and a great part of it is concerned with the peculiar drama of this very situation). How many of these details, and how much of the picture of the lightning raid from the mountain tops may have been attempts to minimize and explain away a terrible defeat which had happened while Charles himself was in command?

In Fawtier's view, the battle, whether it took place at Roncevaux or elsewhere, was one of the great disasters of Charlemagne's career. The army, hurrying into the Pyrenees, was caught in a classical ambush: the van was blocked, the rear was then attacked, and the Franks had to fight their way forward, section by section, suffering losses so appalling that Charles never really managed to reassemble the survivors on the other side of the mountains, and instead set about hastily reorganizing the strong points in Aquitaine as though he expected further troubles from Spain. In fact the magnitude of the defeat was one of the things about the action which caught the popular imagination and contributed to the growth of the legend around the heroic figure of the doomed commander of the rear guard, Hruodland, Rodlan, Roland.

The legend may have grown in the region around Roncevaux, but it was elaborated in other parts of the kingdom too. By the late eleventh century, when the poem was written, it was possible for the poet to display, without fear of correction, an ignorance of the geography of Spain and, for that matter, of southern France, which indicates not only that he himself came from somewhere far from that part of the world, but also that the story and its heroes had long been familiar in places remote from the original battlefield. An audience at Roncevaux might just have been able to go along with the poet's assumption that Cordoba was near the hill city of Saragossa, which in turn was on the sea; it is unlikely that, even in the Middle Ages when simple experience was so meek an authority, they would have heard without a murmur that Narbonne and Bordeaux both lay on the same road north from Roncevaux. Furthermore, this shows a total ignorance of the Santiago pilgrim route and its monasteries, an interesting fact in view of the theory that the poem was composed in one of those places, on that route.

In Fawtier's opinion the story of the defeat was carried across France by its veterans, and in various localities, as it took on the character of legend through repetition, it was cast, in whole or in part, into the form of ballads. It is true that none of these survive, but then very little of the popular literature of the time has survived. The monks had nothing to do with the composition of La Chanson de Roland itself (although two other, later variants of the legend were composed by clerics). On the contrary, it was the legend, and perhaps the poem itself, which prompted the ecclesiastics at Roncevaux to exploit the pass as a pilgrim attraction -- an enterprise which may have contributed to the poem's preservation.

There has been considerable controversy as to just when La Chanson de Roland was written. It must have been some time in the latter half of the eleventh century, but it is not possible to be much more definite than that. The poem apparently was already well known in 1096 when, at the Council of Clermont, Pope Urban II made use of it in his appeal to the chivalry of France to follow in the steps of Charlemagne and send an army against Islam. Many of the crusaders who responded to Urban's summons, and many who came later, must have been following an image of themselves which derived, at least in part, from the legendary last battle of the now transfigured Hruodland.

The poem, in its original form, has not survived. Modern knowledge of it is confined to six different versions, whose separate relations to the original are not plain. There is, for instance, a twelfth century German translation by a Bavarian priest named Konrad. There is a Norse translation of the thirteenth century. There is a version in Franco-Italian, in the library of San Marco in Venice, which ends differently from the others. And there are three versions in French. One of them, known as Recension 0, or the Oxford version, has survived in a single copy, Digby Mss 23, at the Bodleian Library, Oxford. It is supposed that it was a jongleur's copy of the poem. It is the oldest of all the versions, the most beautiful, and must have been much the closest to the original. Bedier's famous edition of the poem is based on the Oxford version, which Bedier compares at all points with the others.

Charlemagne known as Rex Francorum et Langobardorum. He was born April 2, 742 in Aachen, Neustrie. Between the years 767 and 814, Charlemagne's title after 800 A.D. was Carolus serenissimus augustus a Deo coronatus magnus et pacificus imperator Romanum gubernans imperium, qui est per misericordium Dei rex Francorum et Langobardorum. It was designed to include the Romas in the Frankish empire without centering the Empire upon them. Charlemagne stressed the royal and Frankish bases for his power. Charlemagne was also referred to as Charles.

The Franks, over whom Charlemagne came to reign in the year 768, were originally a loose confederation of Germanic tribes. By the 6th century they had begun to force their way into Gaul (France and Belgium), and there they eventually settled. The modern name of France comes from the word "frank". The Franks ousted the Gallic landowners who were the last remnants of the Roman Empire, conquered the Visigoths in the south of France, and fought other Germanic tribes such as the Burgundians and the Alamanni. The great Frankish leader who unified the confederacy into a powerful entity was Clovis, first of the Merovingian kings. These rulers were replaced several centuries later by the House of St. Arnulf, the family line of Charlemagne.

The Merovingian dynasty developed the Franks into a national entity and made many conquests. However, by the 7th century, the powerful blood of Clovis had been diluted considerably and King Sigibert III of the Merovings was a mere puppet under the control of his Mayor of the Palace. It was from these Mayors of the Palace - senior officers of the royal house - that Charlemagne's ancestors were eventually to become kings.

The battle of the Pyrenees is the subject of one of the most well-known medieval epics, "The Song of Roland". The following is taken from the introduction to "The Song of Roland", in "Medieval Epics", translated by W.S. Merwin, Modern Library, Random House, New York, 1963.

All later writers on the subject have agreed that the author had something of importance to be silent about. Of such importance, in fact, that his immediate successors evidently felt that mere silence would not serve to conceal it, and set about explaining it. The original Annales were rewritten and expanded roughly a quarter of a century after they were first compiled. It was long thought that the rewriting was done by Charlemagne's biographer Einhard, and though it is now certain that the changes are not his, the second edition of the chronicle is still referred to as the Annales dites d'Einhard. In this work there is a brief and contradictory account of something which happened on the way back from Spain. The Basques, it says here, from positions at the tops of the mountains attacked the rear guard and put the whole army in disorder; the Franks were caught at a disadvantage and did badly; most of the commanders of the different sections of the army were killed, and the enemy, helped by the nature of the terrain, managed to carry off the baggage and escape. There is a reference, too, to the bitterness of Charles' grief.

Then there is Einhard's own account. In the first place he is more ingenious than his predecessors at making it sound as though the Spanish campaign had been a success; then, having built up the picture, he sets against it the Pyrenean ambush on the way back as a relatively minor mishap. It was the treacherous Gascons, he says; they waited until the army was spread out in a long line in the gorges, and then they rushed down and threw the baggage train and the rear guard into confusion. There was a battle in the valley and the Franks were thrown back. The Gascons killed their opponents, the rear guard, to a man, seized the baggage, and scattered under cover of night. Their flight was made easier by their light armor and the nature of the terrain. And then Einhard says, "In this battle Egginhard the royal seneschal, Anselm the Count of the Palace, and Hruodland, the Warden of the Breton Marches, were killed, with very many others." It is one of the only two glimpses in history of the knight whose name would come to evoke one of the richest bodies of legend in the Middle Ages, and one of its greatest poems. The other is a coin, worn, but still displaying on one side the name Carlus, and on the reverse, Rodlan.
One final mention of the battle, by the chroniclers, is of interest. While the army was making its way back from Spain, Charlemagne's wife, in France, gave birth to a son, Louis, who would be his heir. Sixty years after the battle Louis' own biographer, a writer known as The Astronome, in speaking of it said that the names of those who fell in that action were so well known that there was no need to repeat them.

Of all the battles of the period, this one probably has excited most curiosity, and almost nothing about it is definitely known. It is not mere historical interest in the sources of the Roland story which still draws the speculation of scholars to what scanty evidence has come down to our times. In this case the theories of how the legend developed from the event are even more than usually dependent upon a notion of what the event was: a bitter but militarily unimportant misfortune, on the one hand, or one of the critical defeats of Charlemagne's reign, on the other.

Bedier, one of the great students of medieval literature in modem times and the editor of the Oxford text of La Chanson de Roland, propounded the theory of the development of the legend which was generally accepted for years. The battle, he believed, was a minor event which had been remembered in the area near the battlefield and had become a local legend; from those beginnings it had been retold and developed in monasteries and pilgrim sanctuaries along the route leading to Santiago de Compostella, in Spain; the route crossed the Pyrenees at Roncevaux -- the Roncesvalles associated with the Roland story. Bedier, incidentally, was convinced that a number of the French chansons de geste developed in more or less the same way and may have been written by monks, or at least in collaboration with monks. With reference to the Roland, in particular, he cites the fact that the pass at Roncevaux was commended for admiration (complete with a monumental cross said to be Carolingian and other relics claiming descent from Roland and the battle) by the monks at Roncevaux in the twelfth century; he points out that one variant of the Roland legend is contained in a twelfth-century guide written for the benefit of pilgrims to Santiago de Compostella.

Bedier's theory was published just before World War I. It was subjected to criticism in the following decades by a number of scholars; one of the most interesting countertheories was put forward by Fawtier (La Chanson de Roland) in 1933. Fawtier analyzes the chroniclers' references to the battle and bases his conclusions, in great part, on the weaknesses in their accounts. The chroniclers, he insists, cannot have it both ways. Was it merely a massacre of the rear guard, or did it in fact involve the whole army and "throw it into disorder"? He poses some other interesting questions. Why, for instance, should the baggage train have been at the rear of the march, when it was usual to have it in the middle, especially in mountain country? Why should so many of the leaders of the different sections of the army have been in the rear guard (of course the legend itself, with its story of the Ganelon-Roland dispute, answers this one, but the legend in its final form came much later and a great part of it is concerned with the peculiar drama of this very situation). How many of these details, and how much of the picture of the lightning raid from the mountain tops may have been attempts to minimize and explain away a terrible defeat which had happened while Charles himself was in command?

In Fawtier's view, the battle, whether it took place at Roncevaux or elsewhere, was one of the great disasters of Charlemagne's career. The army, hurrying into the Pyrenees, was caught in a classical ambush: the van was blocked, the rear was then attacked, and the Franks had to fight their way forward, section by section, suffering losses so appalling that Charles never really managed to reassemble the survivors on the other side of the mountains, and instead set about hastily reorganizing the strong points in Aquitaine as though he expected further troubles from Spain. In fact the magnitude of the defeat was one of the things about the action which caught the popular imagination and contributed to the growth of the legend around the heroic figure of the doomed commander of the rear guard, Hruodland, Rodlan, Roland.

The legend may have grown in the region around Roncevaux, but it was elaborated in other parts of the kingdom too. By the late eleventh century, when the poem was written, it was possible for the poet to display, without fear of correction, an ignorance of the geography of Spain and, for that matter, of southern France, which indicates not only that he himself came from somewhere far from that part of the world, but also that the story and its heroes had long been familiar in places remote from the original battlefield. An audience at Roncevaux might just have been able to go along with the poet's assumption that Cordoba was near the hill city of Saragossa, which in turn was on the sea; it is unlikely that, even in the Middle Ages when simple experience was so meek an authority, they would have heard without a murmur that Narbonne and Bordeaux both lay on the same road north from Roncevaux. Furthermore, this shows a total ignorance of the Santiago pilgrim route and its monasteries, an interesting fact in view of the theory that the poem was composed in one of those places, on that route.

In Fawtier's opinion the story of the defeat was carried across France by its veterans, and in various localities, as it took on the character of legend through repetition, it was cast, in whole or in part, into the form of ballads. It is true that none of these survive, but then very little of the popular literature of the time has survived. The monks had nothing to do with the composition of La Chanson de Roland itself (although two other, later variants of the legend were composed by clerics). On the contrary, it was the legend, and perhaps the poem itself, which prompted the ecclesiastics at Roncevaux to exploit the pass as a pilgrim attraction -- an enterprise which may have contributed to the poem's preservation.

There has been considerable controversy as to just when La Chanson de Roland was written. It must have been some time in the latter half of the eleventh century, but it is not possible to be much more definite than that. The poem apparently was already well known in 1096 when, at the Council of Clermont, Pope Urban II made use of it in his appeal to the chivalry of France to follow in the steps of Charlemagne and send an army against Islam. Many of the crusaders who responded to Urban's summons, and many who came later, must have been following an image of themselves which derived, at least in part, from the legendary last battle of the now transfigured Hruodland.

The poem, in its original form, has not survived. Modern knowledge of it is confined to six different versions, whose separate relations to the original are not plain. There is, for instance, a twelfth century German translation by a Bavarian priest named Konrad. There is a Norse translation of the thirteenth century. There is a version in Franco-Italian, in the library of San Marco in Venice, which ends differently from the others. And there are three versions in French. One of them, known as Recension 0, or the Oxford version, has survived in a single copy, Digby Mss 23, at the Bodleian Library, Oxford. It is supposed that it was a jongleur's copy of the poem. It is the oldest of all the versions, the most beautiful, and must have been much the closest to the original. Bedier's famous edition of the poem is based on the Oxford version, which Bedier compares at all points with the others. 1285 - 1326 Edmund Fitzalan 41 41 1100 - 1130 Philip De Braiose 30 30 1114 Gildon De Braiose Sancho Lopez Lopez De Ayala Adelantado Mayor of Murcia, acquired many properties in Toledo 0932 - 0994 Kenneth II Mcalpin 62 62 I wish I was  sure of every name in this file &amp; that I didnt

family to Exeter, New Hampshire. He lived on the west side of the river where the first settlements were made; three of his sons lived in the eastern part of the town. His sons and grandsons owned much land upon what was called Rocky Hill. He

Oct. 22, 741, Quierzy-sur-Oise, France), mayor of the palace of Austrasia (the eastern part of the Frankish kingdom) from 715 to 741. He reunited and ruled the entire Frankish realm and stemmed the Muslim invasion at Poitiers in 732. His byname, Martel, means "the hammer."
Charles was the illegitimate son of Pepin of Herstal, the mayor of the palace of Austrasia. By this period the Merovingian kings of the Frankish realm were rulers in name only. The burden of rule lay upon the mayors of the palace, who governed Austrasia, the eastern part of the Frankish kingdom, and Neustria, its western portion. Neustria bitterly resented its conquest and annexation in 687 by Pepin, who, acting in the name of the king, had reorganized and reunified the Frankish realm.

The assassination of Pepin's only surviving legitimate son in 714 was followed a few months later by the death of Pepin himself. Pepin left as heirs three grandsons, and until they came of age, Plectrude, Pepin's widow, was to hold power. As an illegitimate son, Charles Martel was entirely neglected in the will. But he was young, strong, and determined, and an intense struggle for power at once broke out in the Frankish kingdom.

Both Charles and Plectrude faced rebellion throughout the Frankish kingdom when Pepin's will was made known. The king, Chilperic II, was in the power of Ragenfrid, mayor of the palace of Neustria, who joined forces with the Frisians in Holland in order to eliminate Charles. Plectrude imprisoned Charles and tried to govern in the name of her grandchildren, but Charles escaped, gathered an army, and defeated the Neustrians in battles at Amblève near Liège (716) and at Vincy near Cambrai (717). His success made resistance by Plectrude and the Austrasians useless; they submitted, and by 719 Charles alone governed the Franks as mayor.

Assured of Austrasia, Charles now attacked Neustria itself, finally subduing it in 724. This freed Charles to deal with hostile elements elsewhere. He attacked Aquitaine, whose ruler, Eudes (Odo), had been an ally of Ragenfrid, but Charles did not gain effective control of southern France until late in his reign. He also conducted long campaigns, some as late as the 730s, against the Frisians, Saxons, and Bavarians, whose brigandage endangered the eastern frontiers of his kingdom. In order to consolidate his military gains, Charles supported St. Boniface and other missionaries in their efforts to convert the German tribes on the eastern frontier to Christianity.

Ever since their arrival in Spain from Africa in 711, the Muslims had raided Frankish territory, threatening Gaul and on one occasion (725) reaching Burgundy and sacking Autun. In 732 'Abd ar-Rahman, the governor of Córdoba, marched into Bordeaux and defeated Eudes. The Muslims then proceeded north across Aquitaine to the city of Poitiers. Eudes appealed to Charles for assistance, and Charles' cavalry managed to turn back the Muslim onslaught at the Battle of Poitiers. The battle itself may have been only a series of small engagements, but after it there were no more great Muslim invasions of Frankish territory.

In 733 Charles began his campaigns to force Burgundy to yield to his rule. In 735 word arrived that Eudes was dead, and Charles marched rapidly across the Loire River in order to make his power felt around Bordeaux. By 739 he had completely subdued the petty chieftains of Burgundy, and he continued to fend off Muslim advances into Gaul during the decade.

Charles' health began to fail in the late 730s, and in 741 he retired to his palace at Quierzy-sur-Oise, where he died soon after. Before his death he divided the Merovingian kingdom between his two legitimate sons, Pepin and Carloman. He continued to maintain the fiction of Merovingian rule, refraining from transferring the royal title to his own dynasty.

Charles Martel
Born about 688; died at Quierzy on the Oise, 21 October, 741. He was the natural son of Pepin of Herstal and a woman named Alpande or Chalpande. Pepin, who in 714, had outlived his two legitimate sons, Drogon and Grimoald, and to Theodoald, a son of the latter and then only six years old, fell the burdensome inheritance of the French monarchy. Charles, who was then twenty-six, was not excluded from the succession on account of his birth, Theodoald himself being the son of a concubine, but through the influence of Plectrude, Theodoald's grandmother, who wished the power invested in her own descendants exclusively. To prevent any opposition from Charles she had him cast into prison and, having established herself at Cologne, assumed the guardianship of her grandson. But the different nations whom the strong hand of Pepin of Herstal had held in subjections, shook off the yoke of oppression as soon as they saw that it was with a woman they had to deal. Neustria gave the signal for revolt (715), Theodoald was beaten in the forest of Cuise and, led by Raginfrid, mayor of the palace, the enemy advanced as far as the Meuse. The Frisians flew to arms and, headed by their duke, Ratbod, destroyed the Christian mission and entered into a confederacy with the Neustrians. The Saxons came and devastated the country of the Hattuarians, and even in Austrasia there was a certain faction that chafed under the government of a woman and child. At this juncture Charles escaped from prison and put himself at the head of the national party of Austrasia. At first he was unfortunate. He was defeated by Ratbod near Cologne in 716, and the Neustrians forced Plectrude to acknowledge as king Chilperic, the son of Childeric II, having taken this Merovingian from the seclusion of the cloister, where he lived the name of Daniel. But Charles was quick to take revenge. He surprised and conquered the Neustrians at AmblFve near MalmTdy (716), defeated them a second time at Vincy near Cambrai (21 March, 717), and pursued them as far as Paris. Then retracing his steps, he came to Cologne and compelled Plectrude to surrender her power and turn over to him the wealth of his father, Pepin. In order to give his recently acquired authority a semblance of legitimacy, he proclaimed the Merovingian Clotaire IV King of Austrasia, reserving for himself the title of Mayor of the Palace. It was about this time that Charles banished Rigobert, the Bishop of Reims, who had opposed him, appointing in his stead the warlike and unpriestly Milon, who was already Archbishop of Trier.
The ensuing years were full of strife. Eager to chastise the Saxons who had invaded Austrasia, Charles in the year 718 laid waste their country to the banks of the Weser. In 719 Ratbod died, and Charles seized Western Friesland without any great resistance on the part of the Frisians, who had taken possession of it on the death of Pepin. The Neustrians, always a menace, had joined forces with the people of Aquitaine, but Charles hacked their army to pieces at Soissons. After this defeat they realized the necessity of surrendering, and the death of King Clotaire IV, whom Charles had placed on the throne but two years previously, facilitated reconciliation of the two great fractions of the Frankish Empire. Charles acknowledged Chilperic as head of the entire monarchy, while on their side, the Neustrians and Aquitainians endorsed the authority of Charles; but, when Chilperic died, the following year (720) Charles appointed as his successor the son of Dagobert III, Thierry IV, who was still a minor, and who occupied the throne from 720 to 737. A second expedition against the Saxons in 720 and the definitive submission of Raginfrid, who had been left the county of Angers (724), re-established the Frankish Monarchy as it had been under Pepin of Herstal, and closed the first series of Charles Martel's struggles. The next six years were devoted almost exclusively to the confirming of the Frankish authority over the dependent Germanic tribes. In 725 and 728 Charles went into Bavaria, where the Agilolfing dukes had gradually rendered themselves independent, and re-established Frankish suzerainty. He also brought thence the Princess Suanehilde, who seems to have become his mistress. In 730 he marched against Lantfrid, Duke of the Alemanna, whom he likewise brought into subjection, and thus Southern Germany once more became part of the Frankish Empire, as had Northern Germany during the first years of the reign. But at the extremity of the empire a dreadful storm was gathering. For several years the Moslems of Spain had been threatening Gaul. Banished thence in 721 by Duke Eudes, they had returned in 725 and penetrated as far as Burgundy, where they had destroyed Autun. Duke Eudes, unable to resist them, at length contented himself by negotiating with them, and to Othmar, one of their chiefs, he gave the hand of his daughter But this compromising alliance brought him into disfavour with Charles, who defeated him in 731, and the death of Othmar that same year again left Eudes at the mercy of Moslem enterprise. In 732 Abd-er-Rahman, Governor of Spain, crossed the Pyrenees at the head of an immense army, overcame Duke Eudes, and advanced as far as the Loire, pillaging and burning as he went. In October, 732, Charles met Abd-er-Rahman outside of Tours and defeated and slew him in a battle (the Battle of Poitiers) which must ever remain one of the great events in the history of the world, as upon its issue depended whether Christian Civilization should continue or Islam prevail throughout Europe. It was this battle, it is said, that gave Charles his name, Martel (Tudites) "The Hammer", because of the merciless way in which he smote the enemy.
The remainder of Charles Martel's reign was an uninterrupted series of triumphant combats. In 733-734 he suppressed the rebellion instigated by the Frisian duke, Bobo, who was slain in battle, and definitively subdued Friesland, which finally adopted Christianity. In 735, after the death of Eudes, Charles entered Aquitaine, quelled the revolt of Hatto and Hunold, sons of the deceased duke, and left the duchy to Hunold, to be held in fief (736). He then banished the Moslems from Arles and Avignon, defeated their army on the River Berre near Narbonne, and in 739 checked an uprising in Provence, the rebels being under the leadership of Maurontus. So great was Charles' power during the last years of his reign that he did not take the trouble to appoint a successor to King Thierry IV, who died in 737, but assumed full authority himself, governing without legal right. About a year before Charles died, Pope Gregory III, threatened by Luitprand, King of Lombardy, asked his help. Now Charles was Luitprand's ally because the latter had promised to assist him in the late war against the Moslems of Provence, and, moreover, the Frankish king may have already suffered from the malady that was to carry him offùtwo reasons that are surely sufficient to account for the fact that the pope's envoys departed without gaining the object of their errand. However, it would seem that, according to the terms of a public act published by Charlemagne, Charles had, at least in principle, agreed to defend the Roman Church, and death alone must have prevented him from fulfilling this agreement. The reign, which in the beginning was so full of bloody conflicts and later of such incessant strife, would have been an impossibility had not Charles procured means sufficient to attract and compensate his partisans. For this purpose he conceived the idea of giving them the usufruct of a great many ecclesiastical lands, and this spoliation is what is referred to as the secularization by Charles Martel. It was an expedient that could be excused without, however, being justified, and it was pardoned to a certain extent by the amnesty granted at the Council of Lestines, held under the sons of Charles Martel in 743. It must also be remembered that the Church remained the legal owner of the lands thus alienated. This spoliation and the conferring of the principal ecclesiastical dignities upon those who were either totally unworthy or else had naught but their military qualifications to recommend themùas, for instance, the assignment of the episcopal Sees of Reims of Reims and Trier to Milonùwere not calculated to endear Charles Martel to the clergy of his time. Therefore, in the ninth century Hincmar of Reims related the story of the vision with which St. Eucher was said to have been favoured and which showed Charles in hell, to which he had been condemned for robbing the Church of its property.
But notwithstanding the almost exclusively warlike character of his reign, Charles Martel was not indifferent to the superior interests of civilization and Christianity. Like Napoleon after the French Revolution, upon emerging from the years 715-719, Charles, who had not only tolerated but perpetrated many an act of violence against the Church, set about the establishment of social order and endeavoured to restore the rights of the Catholic hierarchy. This explains the protection which in 723 he accorded St. Boniface (Winfrid), the great apostle of Germany, a protection all the more salutary as the saint himself explained to his old friend, Daniel of Winchester, that without it he could neither administer his church, defend his clergy, nor prevent idolatry. Hence Charles Martel shares, to a certain degree, the glory and merit of Boniface's great work of civilization. He died after having divided the Frankish Empire, as a patrimony between his two sons, Carloman and Pepin.

She is the CENTERPIECE.......She has been the dismissed, yet she was truly the Madame, Momma, Mere.  It is the children she raised and the women and men they married whose stories are Creole.  She is there, present, until 1799. 
When was she pregnant? Widowed at age 40. Do a timeline of her life. When did she go to a child's wedding?  Where? How many children did she have during the hurricanes?  When did she become a grandmother for the first time?  Each subsequent time?  Who's birth might she have been at? Did she have grandchildren and her own children around at the same time?
Who were the parents of her daughters- and sons-in-law?  Would she have known them?  What Choctaw women did she live and raise family with? Who were her peers that she might have visited with? Who were the African women she shared life with?
She, but not Hugo, is on the 1786 Spanish Census, along with several of her children & step-children and their spouses.  Who's household did she live in, I wonder?
Her "step" daughters-in-law (Marie Josephine's sons' wives) and the date they married into her family, and likely at her house:

Marie Louise Dupont, before 1786
Helene Moreau,  February 2, 1778

Her daughters-in-law (her sons' wives) and the date they married into her family, and likely at her house:

Louise Leflore, February 21, 1786 
Marie Catherine Dupont, September 18, 1786
Felicite Marchand, an unknown date

There are many inter-relationships, step-, half- and more undefined ones.......but all these folks musta known each other.  They shared a parent, or a spouse, and had sibling children marry sibling.  Where did they live? Who are the Indian women?  Who are the African women? 1670 - 1751 Johann Krebs 81 81 Johann (Kresp) Krebs was born 1680 in Neumagen, Moselle, Germany and died 10/12/1751 in Pascagoula.

          Saxons, Bavarians, and Arabs were all menacing or revolting, and he had to rush from one part of the kingdom to the
          other, defending its frontiers, and getting no help from the "stupid sluggard king," at Paris. At last, impatient of the
          farce, he sent this question to the Pope: "Who is king, he who governs or he who wears the crown?" "He who governs, of
          course," answered the Pope. "That is myself," said the little man with a great will; "so the sluggards shall go to sleep
          forever," and he sent the last of them, Childeric III., the last of the Merovingians, into a monastery. Then the nobles put
          their shields together, and the little man was seated on a chair, on their shields, and with him thus, "shouting and
          raising their shields as high as they could, they marched three times, round the parliament, and then, by St. Boniface,
          he was anointed Archbishop of Metz, A.D. 752. Pepin did not forget that he owed a debt of gratitude to the Pope for
          the answer he had given to his question, and when, shortly after, the Pope sent to complain of the trouble occasioned
          by the Lombards, Pepin crossed the Alps, punished the Lombards, took from them all the territory about Rome and
          gave it to the Pope "to belong to him and to the bishops of Rome forever. That was the beginning of the Papal
          sovereignty. The States of the Church, as they were called, remained under the sovereignty of the Popes until 1871."
          Pepin le Bref, King of France, died in 768. He married Bertha (Bertrada) of Laon.

Roman general and statesman, 3rd generation with that name.
After his wife Flavia died, he married Octavia (Octavian's sister). Divorced her about 38 B.C. and married Cleopatra. Anthony committed suicide when he heard a false report that Cleopatra was dead.

Antony, Mark (Latin Marcus Antonius) (83?-30 BC), Roman statesman and general, who defeated the assassins of Julius Caesar and, with Gaius Octavius and Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, formed the Second Triumvirate, which ultimately secured the end of the Roman Republic.
Antony was born in Rome and educated for a short time in Greece. From 58 to 56 BC he served as a leader of cavalry in Roman campaigns in Palestine and Egypt, and from 54 to 50 BC he served in Gaul under Julius Caesar. Subsequently, with Caesar's aid, he attained the offices of quaestor, augur, and tribune of the people. At the outbreak of the civil war between Caesar and the Roman soldier and statesman Pompey the Great, Antony was appointed Caesar's commander in chief in Italy. He commanded the left wing of Caesar's army at the Battle of Pharsalus in 48 BC, and in 44 BC he shared the consulship with Caesar.
After the assassination of Caesar in 44 BC, Antony's skillful oratory, immortalized by Shakespeare in the play Julius Caesar, turned the Roman people against the conspirators, leaving Antony for a time with almost absolute power in Rome. A rival soon appeared, however, in the person of Gaius Octavius, later the Roman emperor Augustus, who was grandnephew of Caesar and Caesar's designated heir. A struggle for power broke out when Antony, Octavius, and a third contender for the throne, the Roman general Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, formed the Second Triumvirate and agreed to divide the Roman Empire among themselves.
In 42 BC, at Philippi, the triumvirate crushed the forces led by two assassins of Caesar, the Roman statesmen Marcus Junius Brutus and Gaius Cassius Longinus, who sought to restore the Roman Republic. Later in the same year, Antony summoned the Egyptian queen Cleopatra to attend him in the city of Tarsus, in Cilicia (now in Turkey), and explain her refusal to aid the triumvirate in the civil war. Instead of punishing Cleopatra, however, Antony fell in love with her and returned with her to Egypt in 41 BC. In 40 BC he attended meetings of the triumvirate in Italy, at which a new division of the Roman world was arranged, with Antony receiving the eastern portion, from the Adriatic Sea to the Euphrates River; in the same year he attempted to cement his relations with Octavius by marrying the latter's sister Octavia. Nevertheless, Antony soon returned to Egypt and resumed his life with Cleopatra. Octavius made use of this fact to excite the indignation of the Roman people against Antony. When, in 36 BC, Antony was defeated in a military expedition against the Parthians, popular disapproval of his conduct deepened in Rome, and a new civil war became inevitable. In 31 BC the forces of Antony and Cleopatra were decisively defeated by those of Octavius in a naval engagement near Actium. The couple returned to Egypt, deserted by the Egyptian fleet and by most of Antony's own army. In the following year, besieged by the troops of Octavius in Alexandria and deceived by a false report of Cleopatra's suicide, Antony killed himself by falling on his sword.

Sybil's brother, William, had followed her to Scotland as a member of her court. He may have been constable of Scotland, the first recorded appointment to that position, and he certainly witnessed charters of Alexander's in the early 1120s. Some time after Sybil's death William returned to England, where he married a woman called Alice and, forty years later, was holding four and a half knights' fees in Devon and Cornwall. To have witnessed a charter in 1120 the bastard William must have been at least fifteen. [The Royal Bastards of Medieval England, C.

Jerry Chittenden:
Reginald de Dunstanville, 3rd of the fourteen illegitimate sons of King Henry I by the dau. of Robert Corbet, was made Earl of Cornwall by King Stephen, anno 1140. Notwithstanding which, he subsequently espoused the cause of the Empress Maud and was in rebellion until the fall of Stephen's power at the battle of Lincoln. From which period we find nothing remarkable of him until the 10th Henry II [1164], when he appears to have been an unsuccessful mediator between that monarch and the haughty prelate, Thomas à Becket. His lordship was afterward in arms on the side of the king against Robert, Earl of Leicester (who had reared the standard of revolt in favour of Prince Henry, the king's son), and joined Richard de Luci, justice of England, in the siege of Leicester; the town of which they carried, but no the castle. His lordship m. Beatrice, dau. of William FitzRichard, a potent man of Cornwall, and d. in 1175 when, leaving no legitimate male issue, the Earldom of Cornwall reverted to the crown and was retained by King Henry II for the use of John, his younger son, excepting a small proportion which devolved upon the deceased lord's daus., viz., Hawyse, m. to Richard de Redvers; Maud, m. to Robert, Earl of Mellent; Ursula, m. to Walter de Dunstanville; Sarah, m. to the Viscount of Limoges; and Reginald de Dunstanville, d. 1175. Besides his legitimate daus. above-mentioned, the earl left by Beatrice de Vaux, lady of Torre and Karswell, two bastard sons, Henry and William, whereof the elder, Henry, surnamed FitzCount, became a person of great celebrity. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited, and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, 1883, p. 184, Dunstanvill, Earl of Cornwall]
----------
Rainald is well known as the Earl of Cornwall, called also Rainald de Dunstanville, perhaps indicating the place of his birth. He helped to foment trouble against Stephen in Normandy, then headed a successful rising in the West Country in support of Matilda and was rewarded by her with his earldom in 1141. Rainald had married a wealthy heiress, Beatrice, daughter of William FitzRichard, 'a man of large estates in Cornwall.' It was not Henry I's policy to establish his bastards on large estates belonging to the crown; rather he used his powers of wardship and marriage to marry them off well. Most of Robert of Gloucester's great domain came to him through his wife and, although Rainald did not marry until five years after Henry's death, he was following a pattern which was well established. Thanks to the conditions of the Anarchy and his support for Matilda and then Henry II, a precedent was set that Rainald had direct control of the country and did not account for it to the exchequer. Much as Henry II must have disliked the condition he no doubt felt it unwise to strip a firm ally of considerable powers, and it was not until Rainald died in 1175, without a male heir, that the king again gained control of the revenues of the county, the earldom reverting to the crown.

Rohese married a powerful baron in the neighboring county of Devon. Henry de la Pomerai had been a firm supporter of the king in the rebellion of 1123 and later became deputy constable in the royal household. He and Rohese were married while he was serving as a captain in the king's household forces. They prospered under Henry II with de la Pomerai performing various administrative duties in the royal service. In 1154, for example, he was to be found overseeing the purchase of £17's worth of seed for sowing the royal manors of Northamptonshire. He died in 1167, Rohese surviving him for some years, for she was still alive in 1175-6.

b. 1188, Palencia, Castile [Spain]
d. Nov. 12, 1252, Paris, France
French BLANCHE DE CASTILLE, Spanish BLANCA DE CASTILLA, wife of Louis VIII of France, mother of Louis IX (St. Louis), and twice regent of France (1226-34, 1248-52), who by wars and marital alliances did much to secure and unify French territories.
Blanche was the daughter of Alfonso VIII of Castile and Eleanor, who was the daughter of Henry II of England. Her grandmother Eleanor of Aquitaine, queen of England, traveled to Spain to take the 11-year-old Blanche to France, where a marriage treaty was concluded with Louis, the young son of King Philip II Augustus. This politically motivated marriage had been arranged by Blanche's uncle, King John of England, and was celebrated in 1200 at Portsmouth, Hampshire. It represented only a brief truce in the struggle between England and France for control over certain French territories.

Blanche, who became French through marriage, was gradually to become French in spirit as well. Although she did not cease to be concerned for her family, among them her uncle John and his allies, her brother-in-law Ferrand of Portugal, and her cousin Otto of Brunswick (later Holy Roman emperor Otto IV), she rejoiced at the French victory over Otto and the English at Bouvines in 1214, marking the first stage of French unification, a goal for which she was constantly to strive. In the same year, she gave birth to Louis, the future king of France. Upon John of England's death, Blanche boldly tried to seize the English throne: in 1216 Louis of France invaded England on her behalf. The English stood firm against him, and John's nine-year-old son was finally crowned Henry III.

A devout Roman Catholic, Blanche soon became involved in what she sincerely believed to be a holy war against the heretical Cathari, a sect founded on the belief that good and evil had two separate creators, which was flourishing throughout southern France. Her husband, who became Louis VIII in 1223, took part in a crusade against the Cathari but suffered a fatal attack of dysentery upon returning to the north of France in 1226. In accordance with her husband's will, Blanche became both guardian of the 12-year-old Louis and regent of France. She zealously pressed to have Louis crowned immediately, and the coronation took place at Reims three weeks after Louis VIII's death.

Her most pressing problem was to deal with a rebellion of the great barons, organized by Philip Hurepel, the illegitimate son of King Philip II Augustus, and supported by King Henry III of England. In the face of such adversity, Blanche showed herself by turns a delicate diplomat, a clever negotiator, and a strong leader. Dressed in white, on a white palfrey draped in the same colour, she rode into battle at the head of her troops. After an attempted abduction of the young king, Blanche did not hesitate to replace rebel noble associates with commoners if she thought it necessary. She also created local militias. Blanche was gradually able to subdue the revolt, establish a new truce with England, and, in 1229, pacify the south of France by signing the Treaty of Paris with Raymond VII, count of Toulouse. France then entered an era of domestic stability, which saw the construction of many cathedrals throughout the country.

On only one occasion did Blanche fail to exhibit diplomatic conduct. In 1229 a dispute between an innkeeper and some students took place in the Latin Quarter in Paris. The police were summoned, and the students were beaten and thrown into the Seine; such intervention in the Latin Quarter, however, was contrary to the prerogatives granted to the university, and the faculty and students threatened to strike if the university's privileges were not respected. Badly advised, Blanche held firm, but the university closed its doors, and the faculty and students left Paris for the provinces and abroad. It was to take four years and the intervention of the pope before the university would return to Paris with new prerogatives, this time granted by Blanche herself.

Although Louis IX came of age on April 25, 1236, Blanche remained at his side as his most loyal and steadfast supporter. She lacked tact, however, with regard to her son's private life. Although Blanche herself had selected Margaret of Provence to be Louis's wife, she treated Margaret with considerable severity. In 1244, after Louis recovered from a serious illness, he and his wife, much against Blanche's wishes, made a vow to go on a crusade against the Muslims. They embarked in 1248, and once again the kingdom was entrusted to Blanche. Informed of Louis's defeat at Al-Mansurah, Egypt, and his subsequent imprisonment, Blanche herself went to seek his ransom and that of the French army. She petitioned her parents, her allies, and the pope for funds and supplies, but interest in the crusade had dwindled.

Although weakened by a heart ailment, Blanche did not neglect her obligations as a regent. Continuing to preside over council meetings, she signed laws and watched over the poor of Paris. When some of the poor were mistreated by the cathedral chapter, she herself rode, as formerly, to open the gates to their prison. On her way to the Abbey of the Lys, one of her favourite retreats, Blanche suffered an attack of the heart ailment that was to take her life. She was returned to the palace of the Louvre, dressed in a nun's habit, and laid on a bed of hay. There, after begging forgiveness of all and having received the last sacraments, she died. She was buried at Maubuisson Abbey and her heart taken to the Abbey of the Lys. Louis IX was in Jaffa when he learned of his mother's death. The news distressed him greatly, for he was aware that he had lost not only an incomparable parent but also the strongest supporter of his kingship. ?

Following copied from Barry Hummel, Jr, World Connect db=siderhummel, rootsweb.com:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edward III's son, the Black Prince, died in 1376. The King's grandson, Richard II (reigned 1377-99), succeeded to the throne aged 10, on Edward's death. In 1381 the Peasants' Revolt broke out and Richard, aged 14, bravely rode out to meet the rebels at Smithfield, London. Wat Tyler, the principal leader of the peasants, was killed and the uprisings in the rest of the country were crushed over the next few weeks (Richard was later forced by his Council's advice to rescind the pardons he had given). Highly cultured, Richard was one of the greatest royal patrons of the arts; patron of Chaucer, it was Richard who ordered the technically innovative transformation of the Norman Westminster Hall to what it is today. (Built between 1097 and 1099 by William II, the Hall was the ceremonial and administrative centre of the kingdom; it also housed the Courts of Justice until 1882.)

Richard's authoritarian approach upset vested interests, and his increasing dependence on favourites provoked resentment. In 1388 the 'Merciless Parliament' led by a group of lords hostile to Richard (headed by the King's uncle, Gloucester) sentenced many of the King's favourites to death and forced Richard to renew his coronation oath. The death of his first queen, Anne of Bohemia, in 1394 further isolated Richard, and his subsequent arbitrary behaviour alienated people further. Richard took his revenge in 1397, arresting or banishing many of his opponents; his cousin, Henry of Bolingbroke, was also subsequently banished. On the death of Henry's father, John of Gaunt (a younger son of Edward III), Richard confiscated the vast properties of his Duchy of Lancaster (which amounted to a state within a state) and divided them among his supporters.

Richard pursued policies of peace with France (his second wife was Isabella of Valois); Richard still called himself king of France and refused to give up Calais, but his reign was concurrent with a 28 year truce in the Hundred Years War. His expeditions to Ireland failed to reconcile the Anglo-Irish lords with the Gaels. In 1399, whilst Richard was in Ireland, Henry of Bolingbroke returned to claim his father's inheritance. Supported by some of the leading baronial families (including Richard's former Archbishop of Canterbury), Henry captured and deposed Richard. Bolingbroke was crowned King as Henry IV. Risings in support of Richard led to his murder in Pontefract Castle; Henry V subsequently had his body buried in Westminster Abbey.

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

Note: Many say Richard was murdered, but the Encyclopaedia Britannica states he died "possibly by starving himself to death.  William Shakespeare's story of his murder in "Richard II" rests on no reliable authority." 0950 William De Warenne ~0503 Halfdan Frodasson I wish I was  sure of every name in this file &amp; that I didnt

. Edith - Margaret (Matilda) of Scotland, born in 1080 and died in 1118, married Henry I. Beauclerc, King of England, son of William I The Conqueror (ruler from 1066 to 1087) and his wife, Matilda of Flanders, who died in 1083. See this lineage in the Early French Ancestors in Volume I. Matilda was educated at Wilton and Romsey Abbey where she said that her aunt, Christina, forced her to wear a black veil. She threw it on the ground whenever left alone, in spite of beatings. When her mother died she came to England to Edgar Atheling, her uncle. She was a sister of King David of Scotland; she was a correspondent of Anselm and Hildebert, Bishop of Le Mans, who wrote poetry about her. She was a symbol of the union of Saxon and Norman. She was Henry's Queen for seventeen years and six months, and died in her prime like most of her family. Henry and Matilda had a son and a daughter Gwid MacBrude 0980 Henry De Ferriers ?

b. c. 1122
d. April 1, 1204, Fontevrault, Anjou, Fr.
also called ELEANOR OF GUYENNE, French ÉLÉONORE, OR ALIÉNOR, D'AQUITAINE, OR DE GUYENNE, queen consort of both Louis VII of France (in 1137-52) and Henry II of England (in 1152-1204) and mother of Richard I the Lion-Heart and John of England. She was perhaps the most powerful woman in 12th-century Europe.
Eleanor was the daughter and heiress of William X, duke of Aquitaine and count of Poitiers, who possessed one of the largest domains in France--larger, in fact, than those held by the French king. Upon William's death in 1137 she inherited the Duchy of Aquitaine and in July 1137 married the heir to the French throne, who succeeded his father, Louis VI, the following month. Eleanor became queen of France, a title she held for the next 15 years. Beautiful, capricious, and adored by Louis, Eleanor exerted considerable influence over him, often goading him into undertaking perilous ventures.

From 1147 to 1149 Eleanor accompanied Louis on the Second Crusade to protect the fragile Latin kingdom of Jerusalem, founded after the First Crusade only 50 years before, from Turkish assault. Eleanor's conduct during this expedition, especially at the court of her uncle Raymond of Poitiers at Antioch, aroused Louis's jealousy and marked the beginning of their estrangement. After their return to France and a short-lived reconciliation, their marriage was annulled in March 1152. According to feudal customs, Eleanor then regained possession of Aquitaine, and two months later she married the grandson of Henry I of England, Henry Plantagenet, count of Anjou and duke of Normandy. In 1154 he became, as Henry II, king of England, with the result that England, Normandy, and the west of France were united under his rule. Eleanor had only two daughters by Louis VII; to her new husband she bore five sons and three daughters. The sons were William, who died at the age of three; Henry; Richard, the Lion-Heart; Geoffrey, duke of Brittany; and John, surnamed Lackland until, having outlived all his brothers, he inherited, in 1199, the crown of England. The daughters were Matilda, who married Henry the Lion, duke of Saxony and Bavaria; Eleanor, who married Alfonso VIII, king of Castile; and Joan, who married successively William II, king of Sicily, and Raymond VI, count of Toulouse. Eleanor would well have deserved to be named the "grandmother of Europe."

During her childbearing years, she participated actively in the administration of the realm and even more actively in the management of her own domains. She was instrumental in turning the court of Poitiers, then frequented by the most famous troubadours of the time, into a centre of poetry and a model of courtly life and manners. She was the great patron of the two dominant poetic movements of the time: the courtly love tradition, conveyed in the romantic songs of the troubadours, and the historical matière de Bretagne, or "legends of Britanny," which originated in Celtic traditions and in the Historia regum Britanniae, written by the chronicler Geoffrey of Monmouth some time between 1135 and 1139.

The revolt of her sons against her husband in 1173 put her cultural activities to a brutal end. Since Eleanor, 11 years her husband's senior, had long resented his infidelities, the revolt may have been instigated by her; in any case, she gave her sons considerable military support. The revolt failed, and Eleanor was captured while seeking refuge in the kingdom of her first husband, Louis VII. Her semi-imprisonment in England ended only with the death of Henry II in 1189. On her release, Eleanor played a greater political role than ever before. She actively prepared for Richard's coronation as king, was administrator of the realm during his crusade to the Holy Land, and, after his capture by the Duke of Austria on Richard's return from the east, collected his ransom and went in person to escort him to England. During Richard's absence, she succeeded in keeping his kingdom intact and in thwarting the intrigues of his brother John Lackland and Philip II Augustus, king of France, against him.

In 1199 Richard died without leaving an heir to the throne, and John was crowned king. Eleanor, nearly 80 years old, fearing the disintegration of the Plantagenet domain, crossed the Pyrenees in 1200 in order to fetch her granddaughter Blanche from the court of Castile and marry her to the son of the French king. By this marriage she hoped to insure peace between the Plantagenets of England and the Capetian kings of France. In the same year she helped to defend Anjou and Aquitaine against her grandson Arthur of Brittany, thus securing John's French possessions. In 1202 John was again in her debt for holding Mirebeau against Arthur, until John, coming to her relief, was able to take him prisoner. John's only victories on the Continent, therefore, were due to Eleanor.

She died in 1204 at the monastery at Fontevrault, Anjou, where she had retired after the campaign at Mirebeau. Her contribution to England extended beyond her own lifetime; after the loss of Normandy (1204), it was her own ancestral lands and not the old Norman territories that remained loyal to England. She has been misjudged by many French historians who have noted only her youthful frivolity, ignoring the tenacity, political wisdom, and energy that characterized the years of her maturity. "She was beautiful and just, imposing and modest, humble and elegant"; and, as the nuns of Fontevrault wrote in their necrology: a queen "who surpassed almost all the queens of the world."

Henry II, first of the Angevin kings, was one of the most effective of all England's monarchs. He came to the throne amid the anarchy of Stephen's reign and promptly collared his errant barons. He refined Norman government and created a capable, self-standing bureaucracy. His energy was equaled only by his ambition and intelligence. Henry survived wars, rebellion, and controversy to successfully rule one of the Middle Ages' most powerful kingdoms.

Henry was raised in the French province of Anjou and first visited England in 1142 to defend his mother's claim to the disputed throne of Stephen. His continental possessions were already vast before his coronation: He acquired Normandy and Anjou upon the death of his father in September 1151, and his French holdings more than doubled with his marriage to Eleanor of Aquitane (ex-wife of King Louis VII of France). In accordance with the Treaty of Wallingford, a succession agreement signed by Stephen and Matilda in 1153, Henry was crowned in October 1154. The continental empire ruled by Henry and his sons included the French counties of Brittany, Maine, Poitou, Touraine, Gascony, Anjou, Aquitane, and Normandy. Henry was technically a feudal vassal of the king of France but, in reality, owned more territory and was more powerful than his French lord. Although King John (Henry's son) lost most of the English holdings in France, English kings laid claim to the French throne until the fifteenth century. Henry also extended his territory in the British Isles in two significant ways. First, he retrieved Cumbria and Northumbria form Malcom IV of Scotland and settled the Anglo-Scot border in the North. Secondly, although his success with Welsh campaigns was limited, Henry invaded Ireland and secured an English presence on the island.

English and Norman barons in Stephen's reign manipulated feudal law to undermine royal authority; Henry instituted many reforms to weaken traditional feudal ties and strengthen his position. Unauthorized castles built during the previous reign were razed. Monetary payments replaced military service as the primary duty of vassals. The Exchequer was revitalized to enforce accurate record keeping and tax collection. Incompetent sheriffs were replaced and the authority of royal courts was expanded. Henry empowered a new social class of government clerks that stabilized procedure - the government could operate effectively in the king's absence and would subsequently prove sufficiently tenacious to survive the reign of incompetent kings. Henry's reforms allowed the emergence of a body of common law to replace the disparate customs of feudal and county courts. Jury trials were initiated to end the old Germanic trials by ordeal or battle. Henry's systematic approach to law provided a common basis for development of royal institutions throughout the entire realm.

The process of strengthening the royal courts, however, yielded an unexpected controversy. The church courts instituted by William the Conqueror became a safe haven for criminals of varying degree and ability, for one in fifty of the English population qualified as clerics. Henry wished to transfer sentencing in such cases to the royal courts, as church courts merely demoted clerics to laymen. Thomas Beckett, Henry's close friend and chancellor since 1155, was named Archbishop of Canterbury in June 1162 but distanced himself from Henry and vehemently opposed the weakening of church courts. Beckett fled England in 1164, but through the intervention of Pope Adrian IV (the lone English pope), returned in 1170.He greatly angered Henry by opposing to the coronation of Prince Henry. Exasperated, Henry hastily and publicly conveyed his desire to be rid of the contentious Archbishop - four ambitious knights took the king at his word and murdered Beckett in his own cathedral on December 29, 1170. Henry endured a rather limited storm of protest over the incident and the controversy passed.

Henry's plans of dividing his myriad lands and titles evoked treachery from his sons. At the encouragement - and sometimes because of the treatment - of their mother, they rebelled against their father several times, often with Louis VII of France as their accomplice. The deaths of Henry the Young King in 1183 and Geoffrey in 1186 gave no respite from his children's rebellious nature; Richard, with the assistance of Philip II Augustus of France, attacked and defeated Henry on July 4, 1189 and forced him to accept a humiliating peace. Henry II died two days later, on July 6, 1189.

A few quotes from historic manuscripts shed a unique light on Henry, Eleanor, and their sons.

From Sir Winston Churchill Kt, 1675: "Henry II Plantagenet, the very first of that name and race, and the very greatest King that England ever knew, but withal the most unfortunate . . . his death being imputed to those only to whom himself had given life, his ungracious sons. . ."

From Sir Richard Baker, A Chronicle of the Kings of England: Concerning endowments of mind, he was of a spirit in the highest degree generous . . . His custom was to be always in action; for which cause, if he had no real wars, he would have feigned . . . To his children he was both indulgent and hard; for out of indulgence he caused his son henry to be crowned King in his own time; and out of hardness he caused his younger sons to rebel against him . . . He married Eleanor, daughter of William Duke of Guienne, late wife of Lewis the Seventh of France. Some say King Lewis carried her into the Holy Land, where she carried herself not very holily, but led a licentious life; and, which is the worst kind of licentiousness, in carnal familiarity with a Turk." ~1303 Eudo (Ivo) De Berkeley 0590 Eystein Adilsson I wish I was  sure of every name in this file &amp; that I didnt

Dear Listers,
I'm writing in response to Susan Nebecker's questions about Robert Rutherford of Essex County, VA. I'm a Rutherford researcher and Robert Rutherford is my 8x's great grandfather. Robert Rutherford's baptismal
records came from Jedburgh, Roxburghshire, Scotland along with his siblings. He was the son of Adam and Janet Rutherford - Adam of the Rutherfords of Hall and Janet of the Rutherfords of Castlewood - Edgerston
- Hunthill. Janet's line was noble and Adam's was a  burgher family from Jedburgh.

Most Rutherfords in the USA have been getting their data from William K. Rutherford's "The Geneological History of the Rutherford Family". However, I would not trust anything concerning Scottish genealogy that William and
Ann Rutherford have ventured in their various editions of the Rutherford books. They drew heavily on the work of Thomas H. Cockburn-Hood in his "The Rutherfurds of that Ilk and their Cadets" published in Edinburgh at 1884.
This work has been shown to be seriously flawed and even has some out and out fabrications. Kenneth Rutherford Davis in his book "The Rutherfords in Britain: a history and guide" published by Alan Sutton Publishing of
Gloucester-1987 also disclaims the use of Thomas H. Cockburn-Hood's work.  KR Davis wrote to WK Rutherford guessing that Robert Rutherford might have immigrated from England. This was an unsupported guess that was made before the above mentioned records of Adam and Janet Rutherford [and their son Robert] had been discovered. KR Davis' book has a sketch of the data on both lines. The Castlewood and Hall lines are on pages 135 and 154.

Unfortunately, all three books have problems and contradict each other. WK Rutherford's latter editions were primarily published to correct earlier errors he took from Thomas H. Cockburn-Hood's work. KR Davis' work also is drawn from sources available to him in England not in Scotland.  His display of well documented lines, such as the Edgerston/Hunthill Rutherfords have many mistakes. Also the materials on General Griffith Rutherford have him placed in the wrong family!?

The materials below start with Robert's father Adam Rutherford.

I'd love to talk to you more about this. Please be in touch

Adam Rutherford of Hall was a maltman and Burgess of Jedburgh. He was prosperous and accommodated his kinsman, Robert Rutherfurd of Edgerston, with a loan of 200 merks. A bond for the amount was granted Adam Rutherford of Hall and Janet Rutherford his wife in 1633. A general service of William Rutherford of Hall to his father Adam Rutherford of Hall was "expede" before Archibald Douglas, January 18,1648.

--2. [#18] Robert Rutherford Sr.
b. ca. 1634 Jedburgh, Scotland
christened: 6 May 1640 Jedburgh, Roxburgh, Scotland
d. after 21 Aug 1728 probably in Essex Co., VA.
wife: Maragaret Vawter
daughter of  Bartholomew Vawter and Winifred Hodgen
The father of Bartholomew Vawter, along with Angus, Richard, Beverly, David, Margaret and Winifred, was John Vawter.

According to the book "The Vawter Family in America" the name Vawter was of Norman extraction and was originally spelled "Valletort", pronounced as vay-e-tor. There is still a Valletort castle in England.

Knight's Reginduis de Valletort; Hugh de Valletort; Ralphe de Valletort and Seigfried de Valletort were Norman knights living in the area of St. Michaels 14 miles from the coast near Castle Maynne Normandy, France. Count
Juel de Maynne was a general under Baron Robert Mortaine 1/2 brother of William Duke of Normandy. Four of de Valletort brother's were free knights not under service or servitude and were recruited by Count Maynne for
service. After the battle of Hastings November 14, 1066 the de Valletort brothers received 33 1/3 knight's fee's and land holdings at Cornwall and Plymouth, England. De Valletort's Castle, Treamenton still stands today.

The Margaret who married Robert Rutherford Sr. is not Margaret Vawter daughter of Bartholomew. Margaret Vawter dau. of Bartho. married Thomas S. Tinsley III. The Margaret who m. Robert Rutherford, Sr. was b. ca 1644
according to a deposition in court listing her age. Bartholomew Vawter gave a gift of a cow calfe to this Margaret so her connection to him is yet unknown. It could be a sister or is old enough to be his mother who may have married for a second time. Robert Rutherford of Essex County, Virginia, was born in Jedburgh, Scotland, and married Margaret Vawter. (Brooks and Kindred Families, 1950. p. 295-296) Louise A. Keynton, Dallas, Texas, searched Essex County, Virginia records and also confirmed this statement. He was probably one and the same as the Robert Rutherford who was baptized May 6,1640, a son of Adam Rutherford of Hall and Janet Rutherford of Roxburgh County, Scotland. His father-in-law, Bartholomew Vawter was married to Winifred Hodgen and
had (8) children by her, one of them was Margaret Vawter born 1647 and died about 1735 in Essex Co. VA. She was married to Robert Rutherford Sr..  Bartholomew Vawter had another unknown wife who produced another daughter named Margaret. She was born in 1672 probably in England and died in 1687 probably Essex, Va. She was married to Robert Rutherford Jr. These two Margaret Vawters were half sisters and were married to father and son,
Robert Rutherford Sr and Jr.

The name Robert Rutherford was recorded as early as 3/10/1676 in Old Rappahannock County, Virginia, and as late as 7/21/1728 in Essex County, Virginia. Conveyances of land by Robert Rutherford and his wife Margaret
verify their places of residence were in Sittenburn Parish in Old Rappahannock County, Virginia, and in St. Anns Parish in Essex County, Virginia. Among the neighbors of Robert Rutherford were Daniel Smith and John Miller, both of whom moved to Augusta County where they lived neighbors to the descendants of Robert Rutherford.

A court order bearing the date 8/4/1684 show Robert Rutherford was appointed Constable by the Court of Old Rappahannock County, Virginia.  Another court order dated 3/3/1686 ordered Robert Rutherford to pay tenancy
on his plantation. Among the wills witnessed by Robert Rutherford were those of Thomas Page of Old Rappahannock County, 3/10/1676; David Jameson of Essex County, 12/2/1711; and Samuel Stallard of Essex County, 12/2/1720.  Robert Rutherford was ordered by the Court of Essex County, Virginia to pay
Robert Rutherford, Jr., and John Rutherford, Jr., for their attendance in court as witnesses on his behalf in 8/1724. Robert Rutherford of Old Rappahannock and Essex Counties, Virginia was probably the father of Patrick Rutherford of Orange County, North Carolina, as well.

* John Rutherford who died in Essex Co. in 1742 married Mary Brown (not Mary Atkinson as has been speculated). Mary's sister Ann married an Atkinson. Mary's father appears to be Daniel Brown, son of Francis Brown, and her mother was Jane Copeland, daughter of Nicholas Copeland. One of her ancestors was the Ancient Planter, Francis Cole.

Edward THE BLACK PRINCE, also called EDWARD OF WOODSTOCK, PRINCE D'AQUITAINE, PRINCE OF WALES, DUKE OF CORNWALL, EARL OF CHESTER (b. June 15, 1330, Woodstock, Oxfordshire, Eng.--d. June 8, 1376, Westminster, near London), son and heir apparent of Edward III of England and one of the outstanding commanders during the Hundred Years' War, winning his major victory at the Battle of Poitiers (1356). His sobriquet, said to have come from his wearing black armour, has no contemporary justification and is found first in Richard Grafton's Chronicle of England (1568).

Edward was created Earl of Chester (March 1333), Duke of Cornwall (February 1337)--the first appearance of this rank in England--and Prince of Wales (May 1343); he was Prince of Aquitaine from 1362 to 1372. His first campaign was served under his father in northern France (1346-47), and at the Battle of Crécy (Aug. 26, 1346) he won both his spurs and the famous ostrich plumes and with them the mottoes used by himself and subsequent princes of Wales, homout; ich dene ("Courage; I serve"; the words are here spelled as Edward himself wrote them; later variants include houmout and ich dien or ich diene). One of the original Knights of the Garter, he was sent to France with independent command in 1355, winning his most famous victory over the French at Poitiers on Sept. 19, 1356. The French king John II, brought captive to England, was treated by the prince with a celebrated courtesy, but he was obligated to pay a ransom of 3,000,000 gold crowns and to negotiate the treaties of Brétigny and Calais (1360) by which Aquitaine was ceded to the English.

Edward married his cousin Joan, the divorced and widowed Countess of Kent, in October 1361. He was created Prince of Aquitaine in July 1362 and left England in 1363 to take up his duties. His powers and his opportunities were great, but his rule was a failure, and he himself was largely to blame. His court at Bordeaux, that of a foreign conqueror, was extravagant; the 13 sénéchaussées into which the principality was divided administratively followed their earlier French pattern and allowed local French loyalties to subsist; his relations with the many bishops were unfriendly, while the greater nobles, Arnaud-Amanieu, sire d'Albret, Gaston II, Count de Foix, and Jean I, Count d'Armagnac, were hostile. He summoned several estates, or parliaments, but always to levy taxes. In 1367 he undertook to restore Peter the Cruel of Castile to his throne, and though he won a classic victory at Nájera on April 3, 1367, the campaign ruined his health, his finances, and any prospect of sound rule in Aquitaine, where, in 1368, the nobles and prelates appealed against him to Charles V of France as suzerain. Edward's reply to the French king's citation to answer the appellants before the parlement of Paris in May 1369 is well known--he would appear with 60,000 men at his back. He had, however, alienated the towns and peasantry as well as the nobles; and by March 1369 more than 900 towns, castles, and strong places had declared against him. Relying on mercenaries whom he could not afford to pay, he was powerless to quell the revolt, and the terrible sack of Limoges (October 1370) merely redounded to his discredit. He returned to England a sick and broken man in January 1371 and formally surrendered his principality to his father in October 1372, alleging that the revenues of the country were insufficient to defray his expenses. He had no successor as Prince of Aquitaine.

Edward's position in England, where, throughout his life, he was heir apparent, was that of a typical 14th-century magnate. The registers of his household from 1346 to 1348 and from 1351 to 1365 have survived and add to what is known of him from the chroniclers and from his biographer, the herald of Sir John Chandos. In one important respect all of these sources paint the same picture, that of a man constantly living beyond his means. His generosity, however, extended to his tenants as well as to his knightly companions, and faithful service was rewarded, as in 1356 when the ferry of Saltash was granted to William Lenche, who had lost an eye at Poitiers.

The prince visited Chester in 1353 and again in 1358. Cheshire furnished many of his archers, who wore a rudimentary uniform of a short coat and hat of green and white cloth with the green on the right. Despite his title, however, Edward did not visit Wales.

He appears to have shared the interests of his class--jousting, falconry, hunting, gaming. He was literate and conventionally pious, substantially endowing a religious house at Ashridge (1376). He had the customary fine presence of the Plantagenets and shared their love of jewels. The Black Prince's ruby in the present imperial state crown may or may not have been given to him by King Peter of Castile after the Battle of Nájera, but he would certainly have prized it, as a connoisseur. Similar artistic interest is shown in his seals, adorned with their ostrich feathers, and in the elegant gold coins that he issued as Prince of Aquitaine.

The last five years of the prince's life are obscure. Some contemporaries suggest that he supported the Commons when political discontent culminated in the Good Parliament of April 1376; but he knew he was dying, and he was probably seeking the best means to ensure the succession of his second--but only surviving--son, Richard of Bordeaux (afterward Richard II). Edward was buried at Canterbury, where his tomb with his accoutrements, restored and renovated, still stands. 0945 - 1006 Adelaide De Aquitaine 61 61 Blanche Plantagenet Salvador Perez 1780 Margaret McIntosh Living Miles 0922 - 3 APR 963 William I De Guyenne 1338 - 1368 Lionel Plantagenet 29 29 Lionel Plantagenet, b. 29 November, 1338 (of Antwerp), 3rd son of King Henry III, who became jure uxoris, Earl of Ulster, and was created 15 September, 1362, Duke of Clarence.* The prince was likewise a knight of the Garter, he had an only child by the heiress of Ulster, Philippa Plantagenet, who m. Edmond Mortimer, 3rd Earl of March. About four years after the death of the Duchess Elizabeth (25 April, 1368), King Edward concluded the terms of a new marriage for his son, the Duke of Clarence, with Violanta, or Jolantis, the dau. of Galeas, prince of Milan, and sister to John Galeas, who subsequently became 1st Duke of Milan. The bargain, for such it was in the strictest meaning of the word, was struck at Windsor, upon which occasion the wealthy and munificent Prince Galeas paid down for his daughter's dowry, the sum of 100,000 florins. This, however, was but a prelude to the unbounded munificence with which he received his son-in-law and his small but chosen retinue of English nobles, who in number amounted to about 200. When the duke married his affianced bride on 15 June, 1368, the luxury of the various feasts that followed upon the nuptial and the richness of the gifts presented by Galeas to the bridegroom and his followers were such as fairly to confound the imagination. The whole scene, as described by Paulus Jovius, is only to be paralleled by the wild dreamings of some eastern story. At one banquet, when the celebrated Petrarch was present, thirty courses succeeded each other, all composed of the choicest viands that the earth or sea could supply, and between each course, as many rare gifts were brought in by Galeas himself and presented by him to Clarence.

"But not five months after, the Duke of Clarence (having lived with this new wife after the manner of his own country, forgetting, or not regarding the change of air, and addicting himself to immoderate feasting), spent and consumed with a lingering disease, departed this world at Alba Pompeia, called also Longuevil, in the Marquisate of Montserrat, in Piedmont, on the vigil of St. Luke the Evangelist, viz., the 17th day of October, anno 1368."

The duke was first buried in the city of Pavia, but was afterwards brought over to England by Thomas Narbonne and others of the retinue, who had accompanied him in his nuptial expedition. The body was then conveyed to the church of the Augustine Friars, at Clare, in Suffolk, and finally deposited near the remains of his 1st wife, Elizabeth de Burgh. Violanta herself was afterwards m. to Otho, Marquis of Montserrat, but as the chronicler quaintly observes, her 2nd marriage was not more fortunate than her first; -- Otho soon perished ignobly in the mountains, being slain by a country stable-keeper.

At the death of Lionel, the Dukedom of Clarence became extinct.

* The title of Clarence was derived from the honour of Clare. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, 1883, p. 434, Plantagenet, Duke of Clarence]

----------

Lionel of Antwerp, duke of Clarence, also called (1346-62) EARL OF ULSTER (b. Nov. 29, 1338, Antwerp--d. Oct. 17, 1368, Alba, Italy), second surviving son of King Edward III of England and ancestor of Edward IV.

Before he was four years of age Lionel was betrothed to Elizabeth (d. 1363), daughter and heiress of William de Burgh, earl of Ulster (d. 1333), and he entered nominally into possession of her great Irish inheritance. Having been named as his father's representative in England in 1345 and again in 1346, Lionel was created earl of Ulster and joined (in 1355) an expedition into France, but his chief energies were reserved for the affairs of Ireland. Appointed governor of that country, he landed at Dublin in September 1361. In November 1362 he was created duke of Clarence and in the following year his father made an abortive attempt to secure for him the succession to the crown of Scotland.

His efforts to secure an effective authority over his Irish lands were only moderately successful, and after holding a parliament at Kilkenny, which passed the celebrated Statute of Kilkenny in 1366, he threw up his task in disgust and returned to England. At Milan, on May 28, 1368, he married Violante, only daughter of Galeazzo Visconti, lord of Pavia, who brought him a rich dowry. Several months were then spent in festivities, during which Lionel was taken ill and died at Alba.

His only child, Philippa (1355-81), a daughter by his first wife, married in 1368 Edmund Mortimer (1352-81), 3rd earl of March, and through this union Clarence became an ancestor of Edward IV.

BIOGRAPHY: As able as his brother, Rufus, but with a keen sense of justice. The royal adminis trative corps really came into its own in his reign. The first seven years of Henry's rule wa s spent in protecting England and then conquering Normandy from his eldest brother, Duke Robe rt. He ruled with an iron fist like his father and looked secure both in England and on the C ontinent until 1120 when his only legitimate son and heir was killed in a naval tragedy.

Henry I was the fourth and most capable son of William the Conqueror and Matilda, born 1068 , and nicknamed "Beauclerc" (fine scholar) for his above average education. He married Eadgyt h (who later took the name Matilda), daughter of Malcolm III of Scotland, who bore him two so ns and a daughter. One son died very early, and the other, William, died in the wreck of th e White Ship in November 1120, leaving the daughter, Matilda, as the sole heir.

Eadgyth died in 1118, and Henry married Adelaide of Louvain, but the union produced no offspr ing. Henry also had two fairly significant illegitimate children - Robert de Mellent, Earl o f Gloucester, and Sibylla, wife of the Scottish King Alexander I.

Henry's was the longest reign of the Norman line, lasting thirty-five years. The first year s of Henry's reign were concerned with subduing Normandy. His father divided his kingdoms bet ween Henry's older brothers, leaving England to William and Normandy to Robert. Henry inherit ed no land, but received £5000 in silver. He played both sides in his brothers' quarrel, lead ing both to distrust Henry, and sign a mutual accession treaty barring their brother from th e crown.

Henry's hope arose when Robert went on the First Crusade; should William die, Henry would b e the obvious choice. Henry was in the woods hunting on the morning of William's death, Augus t 2, 1100. He moved quickly and was crowned king on August 5, his coronation charter denounci ng William's oppressive policies and promising good government. Robert returned to Normand y a few weeks later, but escaped final defeat until 1106, at the Battle of Tinchebrai. Rober t was captured and lived the remaining twenty-eight years of his life as Henry's prisoner. He nry was drawn into controversy with the Church over the lay investiture issue - the practic e of selling clergy appoints by the king to gain revenue, heavily opposed by Gregorian reform ers in the Church. He ignored the situation until he was threatened with excommunication by P ope Paschal II in 1105, reaching a compromise with the papacy: he would officially denounce l ay investiture, but prelates were to continue to do homage for their fiefs. In practice, it c hanged little - the king still had the deciding voice in appointing ecclesiastical office s - but it a marked a point when kingship was viewed as purely secular, and subservient to th e Church.

A solution to the lay investiture controversy and conquest of Normandy were accomplished i n 1106, allowing Henry to expand his power. Henry mixed generosity with violence in motivatin g allegiance to the crown, appointing loyal and gifted men to administrative positions. Roge r of Salisbury, the most famous of Henry's servants, was instrumental in organizing a departm ent for collection of royal revenues, the Exchequer. The Exchequer quickly gained notoriety f or sending out court officials to judge local financial disputes, weakening the feudal court s controlled by local lords, and won the title "Lion of Justice". The final years of his reig n were concentrated on war with France and succession concerns upon the death of his son Will iam in 1120. The marriage to Adelaide was fruitless, leaving Matilda his only surviving legit imate heir. In summer 1135, Henry refused to give custody of certain key Norman castles to Ge offrey, as a show of good will, and the pair entered into war. Henry's life ended in this sor ry state of affairs - war with his son-in-law - in December 1135. He apparently died from ove r eating lamprey eels.

He settled the Welsh rebellion of his brother's reign and fortified Wales with many castles . The end of his reign was dominated by a succession crisis where Henry forced his barons t o support his daughter, Matilda, as heir.

www.timeref.com:
Henry was the fourth son of William the Conqueror 220 . When the news of his brother William's (II, Rufus) death in a hunting accident reached him, Henry hurried to Winchester 636 to demand the keys to the royal crown and other treasures. William De Bretevil the treasurer refused, reminding Henry of the treaty between his elder brothers Robert II of Normandy and William (Rufus) signed in Caen. regarding the heir to the throne. Under threat of death, the treasurer handed over the keys. Henry gives many of the clergy and barons whose support he needs money and jewelry. Henry married Matilda of Scotland on the 11/12 November 1100. Matilda was the daughter of Malcolm III, king of the Scots. Henry's plans for a united realm of England and Normandy, by marrying his son William Audelin to the daughter of Count Fulk of Anjou, came to grief in 1120. Whilst attempting what should have been an easy crossing of the channel, William's ship, the White Ship ran aground and the prince was drowned. Henry was a widower and although he remarried after the death of William, he had no more children. Henry only had one other ligitimate child, Matilda 162 . Matilda had been married at the age of eight to Henry V, the German Emperor, but he died in 1126, and Matilda returned to her father's side. Henry then married Matilda to the heir of Anjou, Geoffrey 163 .

Paternal Ancestors of Homer Beers James:
In addition to these legitimate births (William and Matilda/Maud), Henry is reported to have had nineteen or twenty illegitimate children, the highest number of spurious offspring for a King of England to have acknowledged. The best known of them all is Robert the Consul, Earl of Gloucester, father of Maud, wife of Ranulph de Meschines, 2nd Earl of Chester. Another was Reginald, a natural son from a relationship between Henry I. of England and his mistress, Elizabeth Beaumont, daughter of Robert de Beaumont, Count of Meulent and Earl of Leicester, (son of Roger de Beaumont and his wife, Adelina, Countess of Meulent) and his wife Elizabeth Vermandois, younger daughter of Hugh Magnus, the Great, of France, Count of Vermandois. Reginald, married Beatrix, daughter of William Fitz Richard, a potent lord in Cornwall. They had a daughter, Matilda, who married Robert, Count of Meulent, son of Waleran II., Count of Meulent, who married Agnes de Montfort. Waleran II. was a son of the aforementioned Robert Beaumont, and his wife, Elizabeth Vermandois. Robert and Matilda had two children: Waleran III. and Mabel de Beaumont, who married William de Vernon, Earl of Devon, who had three children: Baldwin, Mary Vernon and Joan. Their descendants are not identified. 1104 - 1167 Matilda De Normandy 63 63 www.timeref.com:
Henry only had one other ligitimate child, Matilda 162 . Matilda had been married at the age of eight to Henry V, the German Emperor, but he died in 1126, and Matilda returned to her father's side. Henry then married Matilda to the heir of Anjou, Geoffrey 163 .
www.britannia.com:
"She was designated Henry's heir, and on his death (1135), Stephen seized the throne and Matilda invaded England (1139) inaugurating in a period of inconclusive civil war. She and her second husband (Geoffrey) captured Normandy and in 1152 the Treaty of Wallingford recognised Henry as Stephen's heir. Burke says she was betrothed in her eight year (1119) to Henry."
Parental Ancestors of Homer Beers James:
. Matilda (Maud the Empress) of England (1102-1167), was left the sole legitimate child of Henry I. by the loss of his son in the White Ship (1120). She married (1) Emperor Henry V, Emperor of Rome, and was crowned at Mainz (1114), but was widowed in 1125 and married (2) Geoffrey IV. le Bel, Plantaganet, 10th Count of Anjou and Maine, Duke of Normandy, having won the Duchy from Stephen, son of Fulk V. the Younger, 9th Count of Anjou, King of Jerusalem, and his wife, Ermengarde. See their ancestral lineage elsewhere in Vol. I. Her first husband was thirty years older, her second husband, ten years younger than herself. Henry made the barons recognize the Empress as his heir (1126, 1131, and 1133), but when he died Stephen ignored her claim to rule England by hereditary right. The Normans preferred his chivalrous geniality to her haughtiness and they disliked the House of Anjou as much as they did the House of Blois, into which Stephen's mother, the Conqueror's daughter Adela, had married. The Empress appealed to the Pope in vain (1136) and Archbishop Thurstan of York defeated her uncle and champion, David I., King of Scotland (1084-1153) at the Battle of the Standard (1138); but at last she landed in England. Geoffrey was the original Plantaganet, so named by his companions for the broom corn he wore on his person. 1375 - 1447 Henry Plantagenet 72 72 Played an important role at the trial of Joan of Arc, 24 May 1441.

Beaufort, Henry (b. c. 1374--d. April 11, 1447, Winchester, Hampshire, Eng.), cardinal and bishop of Winchester and a dominant figure in English politics throughout the first 43 years of the 15th century. From about 1435 until 1443 he controlled the government of the weak King Henry VI.

Beaufort's father was John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, son of King Edward III, and his mother was Catherine Swynford. During the reign of his cousin King Richard II, he became chancellor of Oxford University (1397) and bishop of Lincoln (1398).

With the accession of his half brother, Henry IV, in 1399, Beaufort was guaranteed a prominent place in politics. In 1403 he became chancellor of England and a royal councillor. In the following year he was appointed bishop of Winchester, one of the richest sees in the country. He then resigned his chancellorship and led the opposition within the council to Henry IV's chief minister, Thomas Arundel, archbishop of Canterbury. When Beaufort's nephew and political ally became king as Henry V in 1413, Beaufort again received the chancellorship. In order to climb still higher, the ambitious bishop sought a position with the papacy. Pope Martin V made him a cardinal and papal legate in 1417, but the king, fearing that Beaufort would be an all too effective spokesman for papal policies, soon forced him to resign these ecclesiastical offices.

Upon the accession of the infant Henry VI in 1422, however, Beaufort's talents were allowed to flourish. Already wealthy, he enriched himself further by lending money to the insolvent crown at high interest rates. Beaufort's financing of the state solidifed his power; there was little his enemies could do against the man on whom the solvency of the government depended. Beaufort was made cardinal of St. Eusebius and papal legate in 1426, a move for which he was continually attacked by his uncle, Humphrey, duke of Gloucester, who criticized him for simultaneously holding high positions in church and state. But Beaufort survived Gloucester's sniping, and with the support of the young Henry VI, by the mid-1430s the government was firmly back in his hands. In 1435 and 1439 he attempted without success to negotiate an end to the Hundred Years' War (1337-1453) between England and France, and in 1443 he retired from politics. Beaufort was arrogant, self-serving, and greedy to the point of rapacity, but his political and financial acumen were unrivaled in the England of his time.

Henry IV (reigned 1399-1413) spent much of the early part of his reign fighting to keep control of his lands. Exiled for life by Richard II in 1399, Henry's successful usurpation did not lead to general recognition of his claim (he remained unrecognised as King by Charles VI of France).

An outbreak of the plague in 1400 was accompanied by a revolt in Wales led by Owen Glendower. In 1403, Henry's supporters, the Percys of Northumberland, turned against him and conspired with Glendower - the Percys and the Welsh were defeated by Henry at the Battle of Shrewsbury. This victory was followed by the execution of other rebels at York (including the Archbishop in 1405). By 1408 Henry had gained control of the country. Henry was dogged by illness from 1405 onwards; his son played a greater role in government (even opposing the King at times). In 1413, Henry died exhausted, in the Jerusalem Chamber at Westminster Abbey.

The eldest son of Edward II and Isabella of France, Edward III was summoned to Parliament as earl of Chester (1320) and was made duke of Aquitaine (1325), but, contrary to tradition, he never received the title of prince of Wales.

Edward III grew up amid struggles between his father and a number of barons who were attempting to limit the king's power and to strengthen their own role in governing England. His mother, repelled by her husband's treatment of the nobles and disaffected by the confiscation of her English estates by his supporters, played an important role in this conflict. In 1325 she left England to return to France to intervene in the dispute between her brother, Charles IV of France, and her husband over the latter's French possessions, Guyenne, Gascony, and Ponthieu. She was successful; the land was secured for England on condition that the English king pay homage to Charles. This was performed on the King's behalf by his young son.

The heir apparent was secure at his mother's side. With Roger Mortimer, an influential baron who had escaped to France in 1323 and had become her lover, Isabella now began preparations to invade England to depose her husband. To raise funds for this enterprise, Edward III was betrothed to Philippa, daughter of William, count of Hainaut and Holland.

Within five months of their invasion of England, the Queen and the nobles, who had much popular support, overpowered the King's forces. Edward II, charged with incompetence and breaking his coronation oath, was forced to resign, and on Jan. 29, 1327, Edward III, aged 15, was crowned king of England.

During the next four years Isabella and Mortimer governed in his name, though nominally his guardian was Henry, earl of Lancaster. In the summer of 1327 he took part in an abortive campaign against the Scots, which resulted in the Treaty of Northampton (1328), making Scotland an independent realm. Edward was deeply troubled by the settlement and signed it only after much persuasion by Isabella and Mortimer. He married Philippa at York on Jan. 24, 1328. Soon afterward, Edward made a successful effort to throw off his degrading dependence on his mother and Mortimer. While a council was being held at Nottingham, he entered the castle by night, through a subterranean passage, took Mortimer prisoner, and had him executed (November 1330). Edward had discreetly ignored his mother's liaison with Mortimer and treated her with every respect, but her political influence was at an end.

Edward III now began to rule as well as to reign. Young, ardent, and active, he sought to remake England into the powerful nation it had been under Edward I. He still resented the concession of independence made to Scotland by the Treaty of Northampton; and the death of Robert I, the Bruce, king of Scotland, in 1329 gave him a chance of retrieving his position. The new king of Scots, his brother-in-law, David II, was a mere boy, and Edward took advantage of his weakness to aid the Scottish barons who had been exiled by Bruce to place their leader, Edward Balliol, on the Scottish throne. David II fled to France, but Balliol was despised as a puppet of the English king, and David returned in 1341.

Hundred Years' War

During the 1330s England gradually drifted into a state of hostility with France, for which the most obvious reason was the dispute over English rule in Gascony. Contributory causes were France's new king Philip VI's support of the Scots, Edward's alliance with the Flemish cities--then on bad terms with their French overlord--and the revival, in 1337, of Edward's claim, first made in 1328, to the French crown. Edward twice attempted to invade France from the north (1339, 1340), but the only result of his campaigns was to reduce him to bankruptcy. In January 1340 he assumed the title of king of France. At first he may have done this to gratify the Flemings, whose scruples in fighting the French king disappeared when they persuaded themselves that Edward was the rightful king of France. But his pretensions to the French crown gradually became more important, and the persistence with which he and his successors urged them made stable peace impossible for more than a century. This was the struggle famous in history as the Hundred Years' War. Until 1801 every English king also called himself king of France.

Edward was present in person at the great naval battle off the Flemish city of Sluis in June 1340, in which he all but destroyed the French navy. Despite this victory his resources were exhausted by his land campaign, and he was forced to make a truce (which was broken two years later) and return to England. During the years after 1342 he spent much time and money in rebuilding Windsor Castle and instituting the Order of the Garter, which became Britain's highest order of knighthood. A new phase of the French war began when Edward landed in Normandy in July 1346, accompanied by his eldest son, Prince Edward, later known as the Black Prince (born 1330). At first the King showed some lack of strategic purpose, engaging in little more than a large-scale plundering raid to the gates of Paris. The campaign was made memorable by his decisive victory over the French at Crécy in Ponthieu (August 26), where he scattered the army with which Philip VI sought to cut off his retreat to the northeast. Edward laid siege to the French port of Calais in September 1346 and received its surrender in August 1347. Other victories in Gascony and Brittany, and the defeat and capture of David II at Neville's Cross near Durham (October 1346), gave further proof of Edward's power, but Calais was to be his only lasting conquest. He ejected most of its French inhabitants, colonizing the town with Englishmen and establishing there a base from which to conduct further invasions of France. Nevertheless, in the midst of his successes, want of money forced him to make a new truce in September 1347.

Edward returned to England in October 1347. He celebrated his triumph by a series of splendid tournaments. In 1348 he rejected an offer to become Holy Roman emperor. In the same year the bubonic plague known as the Black Death first appeared in England and raged until the end of 1349. Its horrors hardly checked the magnificent revels of Edward's court, and neither the plague nor the truce stayed the slow course of the French war, though the fighting was indecisive and on a small scale. Edward's martial exploits during the next years were those of a gallant knight rather than of a responsible general. Although the English House of Commons was now weary of the war, efforts to make peace came to nothing, and large-scale operations began again in 1355, when Edward led an unsuccessful raid out of Calais. He harried the Lothians, part of southeastern Scotland, in the expedition famous as the Burned Candlemas (January and February 1356), and in the same year he received a formal surrender of the Kingdom of Scotland from Balliol. His exploits were, however, eclipsed by those of his son Edward, whose victory at Poitiers (Sept. 19, 1356), resulting in the capture of the French king, John II (who had succeeded Philip VI in 1350), forced the French to accept a new truce. Edward entertained his captive magnificently but forced him by the Treaty of London (1359) to surrender so much territory that the agreement was repudiated in France. In an effort to compel acceptance, Edward landed at Calais (October 28) and besieged Reims, where he planned to be crowned king of France. The strenuous resistance of the citizens frustrated this scheme, and Edward marched into Burgundy, eventually returning toward Paris. After this unsuccessful campaign he was glad to conclude preliminaries of peace at Brittany (May 8, 1360). This treaty, less onerous to France than that of London, took its final form in the Treaty of Calais, ratified by both kings (October 1360). By it, Edward renounced his claim to the French crown in return for the whole of Aquitaine, a rich area in southwestern France.

The years of decline: 1360-77

The Treaty of Calais did not bring rest or prosperity to either England or France. Fresh visitations of the Black Death in England in 1361 and 1369 intensified social and economic disturbances, and desperate but not very successful efforts were made to enforce the Statute of Labourers (1351), which was intended to maintain prices and wages as they had been before the pestilence. Other famous laws enacted during the 1350s had been the Statutes of Provisors (1351) and Praemunire (1353), which reflected popular hostility against foreign clergy. These measures were frequently reenacted, and Edward formally repudiated (1366) the feudal supremacy over England still claimed by the papacy.

When the French king Charles V, son of John II, repudiated the Treaty of Calais, Edward resumed the title of king of France, but he showed little of his former vigour in meeting this new trouble, leaving most of the fighting and the administration of his foreign territories to his sons Edward and John of Gaunt, duke of Lancaster. While they were struggling with little success against the rising tide of French national feeling, Edward's want of money made him a willing participant in the attack on the wealth and privileges of the church. Meanwhile, Aquitaine was gradually lost, Prince Edward returned to England in broken health (1371), and John of Gaunt's march through France from Calais to Bordeaux (1373) achieved nothing. Edward's final attempt to lead an army abroad himself (1372) was frustrated when contrary winds prevented his landing his troops in France. In 1375 he was glad to make a truce, which lasted until his death. By it, the only important possessions remaining in English hands were Calais, Bordeaux, Bayonne, and Brest.

Edward was now sinking into his dotage. After the death of Queen Philippa in 1369 he fell entirely under the influence of his greedy mistress, Alice Perrers, while Prince Edward and John of Gaunt became the leaders of sharply divided parties in the royal court and council. John of Gaunt returned to England in April 1374 and with the help of Alice Perrers obtained the chief influence with his father, but his administration was neither honourable nor successful. At the famous so-called Good Parliament of 1376 popular indignation against John of Gaunt's ruling party came at last to a head. Alice Perrers was removed and some of Gaunt's followers were impeached. Before the Parliament had concluded its business, however, the death of Prince Edward (June 8, 1376) robbed the Commons of its strongest support. John of Gaunt regained power, and the acts of the Good Parliament had been reversed when Edward III died.

Edward's character

Edward III possessed extraordinary vigour and energy of temperament; he was an admirable tactician and a consummate knight. His court was the most brilliant in contemporary Europe, and he was himself well fitted to be the head of the gallant knights who obtained fame in the French wars. Though his main ambition was military glory, he was not a bad ruler of England, being liberal, kindly, good-tempered, and easy of access. His need to obtain supplies for carrying on the French wars made him favourable to his subjects' petitions and contributed to the growing strength of Parliament. His weak points were his wanton breaches of good faith, his extravagance, his frivolity, and his self-indulgence. His ambition ultimately transcended his resources, and before he died even his subjects had sensed his failure.

scourged before the Holy Sepulchre with broom twigs. Earlier authorities say
it was because Geoffrey bore a branch of yellow broom (Planta-genistae) in

Thomas of Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester, (b. Jan. 7, 1355, Woodstock, Oxfordshire, Eng.--d. probably September 1397), powerful opponent of King Richard II of England (ruled 1377-99).

The seventh son of King Edward III (ruled 1327-77), he was created Duke of Gloucester in 1385 and soon became the leader of a party opposed to Richard II, his young nephew. In 1386 Gloucester and his associates--later known as the appellants--took virtual control of the king's government. Gloucester defeated one of Richard's favourites, Robert de Vere, Duke of Ireland, at Radcot Bridge, London, in December 1387 and then had a number of the king's friends executed. In 1389 Richard gained the upper hand and worked out a compromise with his enemies. Gloucester was made lieutenant of Ireland in 1392, but in 1397 Richard arrested him and two other leading appellants. Committed to the charge of Thomas Mowbray, Earl of Nottingham (later Duke of Norfolk), at the English port of Calais, France, Gloucester was murdered, possibly on orders from Richard. According to one of Mowbray's servants, who was later executed for his part in the crime, the duke was suffocated with a feather bed.

On May 23, 1200, Louis married Blanche of Castile, daughter of Alfonso VIII of Castile, who effectively acted as regent after Louis's death. In 1212 Louis seized Saint-Omer and Aire to prevent a powerful Flanders from being on the flank of his county of Artois. In 1216, after the barons rebelling against King John of England had offered the English throne to Louis in return for his aid, Louis went to England to aid the rebels. Initially he was successful, but eventually he was defeated at sea and suffered defections. In 1217, when peace was concluded at Kingston, Louis was secretly paid 10,000 marks. In 1224, now king, he seized Poitou and, in 1226, he launched a successful crusade against the Albigensian heretics, capturing the major fortress of Avignon before returning toward Paris because of illness.

Louis was the first Capetian to grant appanages on a large scale and to have a reversion clause that made alienation of royal property more difficult. Louis also developed other particular rights for the kingship, such as the concept that fealty was sworn not only to the individual king but also to the kingship. His eldest son, Louis IX (afterward St. Louis), peacefully succeeded him while his other sons received appanages. 1319 - 1364 John II De Valois 44 44 ~1250 - ~1326 William Clopton 76 76 ~1340 Ivette De Grey Fychan Ap Tudor D. 1759 Anne Hanover ~1400 - >1450 John De Abney 50 50 [kkgedcom.ged]

St. Louis IX

Louis IX was born in Poissy, France in 1214 to Louis VIII and Blanche of Castille. He succeeded to the throne at the age of twelve under the regency of his mother. On his twenty-first birthday he assumed full kingship. He was well known for protecting the French clergy from secular leaders and for strictly enforcing laws against blasphemy. Louis generally remained neutral in international disputes. However, because of a dispute between the Count of Le Marche and the Count of Poitiers, in which Henry III supported the Count of Le Marche, he was forced to go to war with England. In 1242 Louis defeated Henry III at Tailebourg. After the war, he made restitution to the innocent people whose property had been destroyed. He established the Sorbonne (1252) and the monasteries of Rayaumont, Vavert, and Maubuisson. Louis led two crusades, the Sixth and the Seventh Crusades. He was captured and imprisoned during the Sixth (1244-1249). At the onset of the Seventh Crusade in 1270, Louis died of dysentry.

Created earl of Cambridge in 1362 and duke of York in 1385, Edmund was the least able of Edward III's sons, and in the political strife of Richard II's reign he played an ineffective part. Between 1359 and 1378 he served without distinction in several campaigns in France, Spain, and Brittany, and his one independent command, the Lisbon expedition of 1381-82 to aid King Ferdinand of Portugal against Castile, was a failure. York was appointed keeper of the realm during Richard II's absence in Ireland in 1394-95, and again on the King's departure for his second Irish expedition in May 1399. When Henry of Lancaster (afterward King Henry IV) invaded England (July), York tried to organize resistance, but he soon submitted (July 27), recognizing that Richard's cause was lost.

EARLDOM OF CAMBRIDGE
II. 1.
DUKEDOM OF YORK

I. 1. EDMUND, "of Langley," 5th but 4th surviving son of EDWARD III, by Philippe, daughter of William, COUNT OF HOLLAND AND HAINAULT, was born 5 June 1341 at King's Langley, Herts, and baptised there by Michael, Abbot of St. Albans. On 6 August 1347 he was granted all the lands beyond Trent late of his godfather, the Earl of Surrey. He took part in his father's campaign in France, 1359-60, and witnessed the final form of the Treaty of Brétigny at Calais, 24 October 1360; nominated K.G. in or shortly before April 1361. He was created, 13 November 1362, in full Parliament, EARL OF CAMBRIDGE. Having landed with the Earl of Pembroke at St. Malo, in Brittany, in 1369, the two Earls joined the Prince of Wales at Angouléme, whence they were sent to besiege Bourdeilles and Roche-sur-Yon, both of which were captured. The following year he went with Pembroke to relieve Belleperche, was at the relief of Bergerac and distinguished himself under the Black Prince at the siege and sack of Limoges, September 1370. He was with the Duke of Lancaster at the siege of Montpont-sur-I'Isle, January-February 1370/1, but later in that year was recalled to England.

b. April 3, 1245, Poissy, Fr.
d. Oct. 5, 1285, Perpignan
byname PHILIP THE BOLD, French PHILIPPE LE HARDI, king of France (1270-85), in whose reign the power of the monarchy was enlarged and the royal domain extended, though his foreign policy and military ventures were largely unsuccessful.
Philip, the second son of Louis IX of France (Saint Louis), became heir to the throne on the death of his elder brother Louis (1260). Accompanying his father's crusade against Tunis in 1270, he was in Africa when Louis IX died. He was anointed king at Reims in 1271.

Philip continued his father's highly successful administration by keeping in office his able and experienced household clerks. Mathieu de Vendôme, abbot of Saint-Denis, whom Louis IX had left as regent in France, remained in control of the government. The death in 1271 of Alphonse of Poitiers and his wife, heiress of Toulouse, enabled Philip early in his reign to annex their vast holdings to the royal demesne. Nevertheless, in 1279 he was obliged to cede the county of Agenais to Edward I of England. The marriage in 1284 of Philip's son, the future Philip IV, to Joan, the heiress of the crown of Navarre and the countships of Champagne and Brie, brought these important areas also under Capetian control. In addition Philip over the years made numerous small territorial acquisitions.

Philip was less successful militarily. In 1276 he declared war to support the claims of his nephews as heirs in Castile but soon abandoned the venture. In 1284, at the instigation of Pope Martin IV, Philip launched a campaign against Peter III of Aragon, as part of the War of the Sicilian Vespers, in which the Aragonese opposed the Angevin rulers of Sicily. Philip crossed the Pyrenees with his army in May 1285, but the atrocities perpetrated by his forces provoked a guerrilla uprising. After a meaningless victory at Gerona and the destruction of his fleet at Las Hormigas, Philip was forced to retreat. He died of fever on the way home 1201 - 1252 Ferdinand III Alfonzez 51 51 Margaret Aston This is a major work under construction with census, marriage, birth, death, etc. records being added on a regular basis.

On the decease of Edward III, this prince was joined in the administration of affairs during the minority of his nephew, Richard II. He subsequently attempted the conquest of Spain at the head of a fine army, and landing at the Groyne, advanced to Compostella, where he was met by John, King of Portugal, between whom and his eldest dau., the Lady Philippa, a marriage was concluded. Thence he marched into Castile and there ratified a treaty of peace, by which he abandoned his claim to the throne of Castile and Leon in consideration of a large sum of money and the marriage of Henry, Prince of Asturias, with his only dau. by his 2nd wife, the Lady Katherine Plantagenet. In the latter part of his life he dwelt in retirement, having incurred the displeasure of King Richard by a motion which he had made in parliament that his son, Henry of Bolingbroke, should be declared heir to the crown.

----------

John OF GAUNT, DUKE OF LANCASTER, also called (1342-62) EARL OF RICHMOND, or (from 1390) DUC (duke) D'AQUITAINE (b. March 1340, Ghent--d. Feb. 3, 1399, London), English prince, fourth but third surviving son of the English king Edward III and Philippa of Hainaut; he exercised a moderating influence in the political and constitutional struggles of the reign of his nephew Richard II. He was the immediate ancestor of the three 15th-century Lancastrian monarchs, Henry IV, V, and VI. The term Gaunt, a corruption of the name of his birthplace, Ghent, was never employed after he was three years old; it became the popularly accepted form of his name through its use in Shakespeare's play Richard II.

Through his first wife, Blanche (d. 1369), John, in 1362, acquired the duchy of Lancaster and the vast Lancastrian estates in England and Wales. From 1367 to 1374 he served as a commander in the Hundred Years' War (1337-1453) against France. On his return he obtained the chief influence with his father, but he had serious opponents among a group of powerful prelates who aspired to hold state offices. He countered their hostility by forming a curious alliance with the religious reformer John Wycliffe. Despite John's extreme unpopularity, he maintained his position after the accession of his ten-year-old nephew, Richard II, in 1377, and from 1381 to 1386 he mediated between the King's party and the opposition group led by John's younger brother, Thomas of Woodstock, earl of Gloucester.

In 1386 John departed for Spain to pursue his claim to the kingship of Castile and Leon based upon his marriage to Constance of Castile in 1371. The expedition was a military failure. John renounced his claim in 1388, but he married his daughter, Catherine, to the young nobleman who eventually became King Henry III of Castile and Leon.

Meanwhile, in England, war had nearly broken out between the followers of King Richard II and the followers of Gloucester. John returned in 1389 and resumed his role as peacemaker.

His wife Constance died in 1394, and two years later he married his mistress, Catherine Swynford. In 1397 he obtained legitimization of the four children born to her before their marriage. This family, the Beauforts, played an important part in 15th-century politics. When John died in 1399, Richard II confiscated the Lancastrian estates, thereby preventing them from passing to John's son, Henry Bolingbroke. Henry then deposed Richard and in September 1399 ascended the throne as King Henry IV.

byname ROBERT THE PIOUS, French ROBERT LE PIEUX, king of France who took Burgundy into the French realm.
The son of Hugh Capet, founder of the Capetian dynasty, and Adelaide of Aquitaine, Robert was educated at the episcopal school of Reims under Gerbert of Aurillac, later Pope Sylvester II. Soon after his own coronation (July 987), Hugh prudently arranged the election and coronation (December 987) of Robert, thus facilitating his son's eventual succession (October 996) as sole ruler. His excommunication as a result of his marriage within the prohibited degrees of relationship was eventually lifted after the repudiation of the childless Bertha in 1001. Constance of Arles, whom the King married two years later, was the mother of his successor, Henry I.

Robert's domain was not extensive; and, to increase his power, he vigorously and tenaciously pressed his claim to fiefs as they became vacant. Thus, when the duke of Burgundy died without an heir (1002), Robert went to war against a rival claimant. Only in 1015, however, did he finally succeed in subduing the rich duchy. (The gain was transitory, for in 1032 Henry I granted Burgundy to his brother, Robert, and it thereafter remained for centuries outside royal control.)

A patron of the Cluniac monastic movement, Robert apparently ruled firmly and judiciously in his own lands. 28 FEB 1154/1155 - 1183 Henry Plantagenet King of England with his father Henry II from 1172 until his death in 1183 1158 - 1186 Geoffrey IV Plantagenet 27 27 Encyclopedia Brittanica names him Geoffrey IV Plantagenet, and also names the son of  Fulk V of Jerusalem as Geoffrey IV Plantagenet. 1157 - 1199 Richard I Plantagenet 41 41 Reign 1189-99 1167 - 1216 John I Plantagenet 48 48 Reign 1199-1216

John was born on Christmas Eve 1167. His parents drifted apart after his birth; his youth was divided between his eldest brother Henry's house, where he learned the art of knighthood, and the house of his father's justiciar, Ranulf Glanvil, where he learned the business of government. As the fourth child, inherited lands were not available to him, giving rise to his nickname, Lackland. His first marriage lasted but ten years and was fruitless, but his second wife, Isabella of Angouleme, bore him two sons and three daughters. He also had an illegitimate daughter, Joan, who married Llywelyn the Great, Ruler of All Wales, from which the Tudor line of monarchs was descended. The survival of the English government during John's reign is a testament to the reforms of his father, as John taxed the system socially, economically, and judicially.

The Angevin family feuds profoundly marked John. He and Richard clashed in 1184 following Richard's refusal to honor his father's wishes surrender Aquitane to John. The following year Henry II sent John to rule Ireland, but John alienated both the native Irish and the transplanted Anglo-Normans who emigrated to carve out new lordships for themselves; the experiment was a total failure and John returned home within six months. After Richard gained the throne in 1189, he gave John vast estates in an unsuccessful attempt to appease his younger brother. John failed to overthrow Richard's administrators during the German captivity and conspired with Philip II in another failed coup attempt. Upon Richard's release from captivity in 1194, John was forced to sue for pardon and he spent the next five years in his brother's shadow.

John's reign was troubled in many respects. A quarrel with the Church resulted in England being placed under an interdict in 1207, with John actually excommunicated two years later. The dispute centered on John's stubborn refusal to install the papal candidate, Stephen Langdon, as Archbishop of Canterbury; the issue was not resolved until John surrendered to the wishes of Pope Innocent III and paid tribute for England as the Pope's vassal.

John proved extremely unpopular with his subjects. In addition to the Irish debacle, he inflamed his French vassals by orchestrating the murder of his popular nephew, Arthur of Brittany. By spring 1205, he lost the last of his French possessions and returned to England. The final ten years of his reign were occupied with failed attempts to regain these territories. After levying a number of new taxes upon the barons to pay for his dismal campaigns, the discontented barons revolted, capturing London in May 1215. At Runnymeade in the following June, John succumbed to pressure from the barons, the Church, and the English people at-large, and signed the Magna Carta. The document, a declaration of feudal rights, stressed three points. First, the Church was free to make ecclesiastic appointments. Second, larger-than-normal amounts of money could only be collected with the consent of the king's feudal tenants. Third, no freeman was to be punished except within the context of common law. Magna Carta, although a testament to John's complete failure as monarch, was the forerunner of modern constitutions. John only signed the document as a means of buying time and his hesitance to implement its principles compelled the nobility to seek French assistance. The barons offered the throne to Philip II's son, Louis. John died in the midst of invasion from the French in the South and rebellion from his barons in the North.

John was remembered in elegant fashion by Sir Richard Baker in A Chronicle of the Kings of England: ". . .his works of piety were very many . . . as for his actions, he neither came to the crown by justice, nor held it with any honour, nor left it peace." 1223 - 1291 Eleanor Berenger 68 68 1279 - 1318 Marguerite Capet 39 39 1221 - 1295 Marguerite Berenger 74 74 D. 1271 Isabella Berengar ~1353 Elizabeth Betteshorne Line in Record @I0527@ (RIN 799) from GEDCOM file not recognized:

When referring to the Eleanor who married Thomas de Montagu 23 May 1399, in line 94-9, Magna Charta Sureties states, "Eleanor de Holand, 4th daughter, sister (not the same Eleanor) of the Eleanor who married Edward Cherlton."

Louis VI
b. 1081
d. Aug. 1, 1137
byname LOUIS THE FAT, French LOUIS LE GROS, king of France from 1108 to 1137; he brought power and dignity to the French crown by his recovery of royal authority over the feudal nobles in his domains of the Île-de-France and the Orléanais.
Louis was designated by his father, Philip I, as his successor in 1098 and was already effectively the ruler well before Philip's death in 1108. He quickly recognized that his priority must be to bring the unruly barons of the royal lands under firm control, and he spent much of his reign in conflict with such men as Hugh de Puiset. His success won him the respect of his greater vassals and was crucial to later Capetian expansion. From his pacification program Louis developed several important concepts for future kings: for example, that the king was a vassal of no man.

Louis had a good relationship with the church and clergy. He has been presented by some historians as the father of communes or towns, but in fact he recognized towns only out of circumstance rather than from principle.

Louis's major wars were against King Henry I of England during the periods 1104-13 and 1116-20. When Charles the Good, count of Flanders, was assassinated in 1127, Louis supported William Clito, who became the successor; even though William was eventually toppled, Louis's actions demonstrated the new strength of the monarchy. In 1124 he was able to muster forces from many parts of France to counter a threatened invasion by the Holy Roman emperor Henry V. Louis's last major achievement was to arrange a marriage between his son Louis VII and Eleanor, heiress of William X, duke of Aquitaine. Abbot Suger of Saint-Denis, a most trusted adviser, is the primary historian for Louis's reign. 1092 - 1154 Adelaide De Maurienne 62 62 Eggfrida Aldunsdoittir Gomez Perez ~1050 - 1120 Geoffroi III De Thouars 70 70 1165 - 1223 Philip II Augustus Capet 57 57 Burial , St. Denis, France
Philip II
b. Aug. 21, 1165, Paris, Fr.
d. July 14, 1223, Mantes
byname PHILIP AUGUSTUS, French PHILIPPE AUGUSTE, the first of the great Capetian kings of medieval France (reigned 1179-1223), who gradually reconquered the French territories held by the kings of England and also furthered the royal domains northward into Flanders and southward into Languedoc. He was a major figure in the Third Crusade to the Holy Land in 1191.
Early life and kingship

Philip was the son of Louis VII of France and Adela of Champagne. In order to be associated as king with his father, who had fallen mortally ill, he was crowned at Reims on Nov. 1, 1179. His uncles of the House of Champagne--Henry I, count of Champagne; Guillaume, archbishop of Reims; and Thibaut V, count of Blois and Chartres--hoped to use the youthful king to control France. To escape from their tutelage, Philip, on April 28, 1180, married Isabella, the daughter of Baldwin V of Hainaut and the niece (through her mother) of Philip of Alsace, the count of Flanders, who promised to give the King the territory of Artois as her dowry.

When Henry II of England arrived in Normandy, perhaps with the intention of responding to an appeal by the House of Champagne, Philip II entered into negotiations with him and, at Gisors on June 28, 1180, renewed an understanding that Louis VII had reached with him in 1177. As a result, the House of Champagne was politically isolated, and Philip II was making all decisions for himself and acting as he saw fit when his father died, on Sept. 18, 1180, leaving him sole king in name as well as in fact.

When the Count of Flanders allied himself with the Champagne faction, there followed a serious revolt against the King. In the Peace of Boves, in July 1185 (confirmed by the Treaty of Gisors in May 1186), the King and the Count of Flanders composed their differences (which had been chiefly over possession of Vermandois, in Picardy), so that the disputed territory was partitioned, Amiens and numerous other places passing to the King and the remainder, with the county of Vermandois proper, being left provisionally to Philip of Alsace. Thenceforward the King was free to run against Henry II of England.

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

on the history of the Earldom of Huntingdon:

When the third Simon de St Liz died in 1184 he left no surviving issue and David, younger brother of the Kings of Scots just mentioned, assumed the Earldom from 1185 (on the handing over of it to him by William the Lion) till it was taken away from him in 1215 or 1216 by King John.  He got it back again in 1218, however.  It is this David's daughter who married Sir Henry de Hastinges, ancestor of the Lords (Barons) Hastings of which the current Hastings holdersof the Huntingdon Earldom are cadets....A little over a century later the then Lord Clinton was promoted Earl of Huntingdon.  Apart from his wife being the widow of Lord Hastings he seems to have had no family connection with the title's previous holders.  On his death death without issue in 1354 the Earldom expired once more.  Between 1377 and 1380 an anglicised Frenchman, Guichard d'Angle, held the Earldom as a life creation granted by Richard II.  Eight years later [1388] it was conferred on John de Holand and from then till 1461 it shared the fortunes of the Dukedom of Exeter.  [Burke's Peerage, p. 1474] 1st MacGeraint 0952 - >0977 Luitgarde De Toulouse 25 25 1092 - 1149 Amadeus III De Maurienne 57 57 1032 - 26 JAN 1079/1080 Amadeus II De Maurienne 1040 Joan De Geneva 1012 - 1045 Gerold Carolingian 33 33 1020 Gisela De Geneva 0985 - 1016 Aimon I Carolingian 31 31 0987 Bertha De Flanders 1002 - 19 JAN 1059/1060 Oddone Eudes De Maurienne 1004 Adelais Suza ~0846 - ~0931 Rollo Rognvaldsson 85 85 [from Ancestry.com 139798.GED]
The son of Ragnvald, he was so stout and strong that no horse could carry him. Thus he was known as Gange-Rolf, or Rolf the Walker. One summer on the return from one of his viking expeditions, he made a strand-hug (a foray for cattle and provisions for his ships) in Viken. Hing Harald had Rolf tried by a special session of the Norwegian Thing, which declared him an outlaw in all Norway. He then sailed westward to the Sudreys, the present Hebrides and joined vikings there who then plundered Paris and the province of Bourgogne in 885. King Charles the Simple of France gave him and his successors the area that became Normandy by the Peace of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte. In 912 he became a Christian and married Gizela the daughter of Louis I.

Rolf was declared an outlaw by King Harald the Fairhaired when he apparently stole cattle in Viken to provision his ships.  He then sailed off to raid England, Flanders, and France. In 911, he established a base on the Seine.  Charles the Simple of France held off his seige of Paris, battled him near Chartres, and negotiated the treaty of St. Clair-sur-Epte, which gave him and his successors the part of Neustria that became Normandy.  Normandy was renamed after the large number of Normans, also known as Norsemen or Northmen.

Rollo First duke of Normandy c. 860-932

Viking leader. He left Norway about 875 and marauded, sailing up the Seine to Rouen. He besieged Paris 886, and in 912 was baptized and granted the province of Normandy by Charles III of France. He was its duke until his retirement to a monastery 927. He was an ancestor of William the Conqueror. 1858 Thomas Andrew Avant 0978 Olderic Suza <0968 Bertha De Ivera 0972 - 1051 Humbert I De Maurienne 79 79 Count of Belley, Aosta, Maurienne.See Europäisch Stammtafeln Bund II tafel 110 0974 Ancelie Von Lenzberg 1025 Thietburge <1045 - >1134 Aimon II De Geneva 89 89 Berengaria Plantagenet D. 1900 Jackson Connawa Thibault De Corbeil 0925 - 19 OCT 993 Conrad III De Burgundy Custom Field:<_FA#> Ruled 936-993 ~0710 - >0779 Gerold I De Swabia 69 69 Custom Field:<_FA#> Duke de Allemenia

Martha Garretson married Benjamin Cox in 1751.

Louis VII
b. c. 1120
d. Sept. 18, 1180, Paris
byname LOUIS THE YOUNGER, French LOUIS LE JEUNE, Capetian king of France who pursued a long rivalry, marked by recurrent warfare and continuous intrigue, with Henry II of England.
In 1131 Louis was anointed as successor to his father, Louis VI, and in 1137 he became the sole ruler at his father's death. Louis married Eleanor, daughter of William X, duke of Aquitaine, in 1137, a few days before his effective rule began, and he thus temporarily extended the Capetian lands to the Pyrenees. Louis continued his father's pacification program by building the prestige of the kingship through an administrative government based on trustworthy men of humble origin and by consolidating his rule over his royal domains rather than by adding new acquisitions. From 1141 to 1143 he was involved in a fruitless conflict with Count Thibaut of Champagne and the papacy. But thereafter his relations with the popes were good; Alexander II, whom he supported against Frederick Barbarossa, took refuge in France. But the major threat to his reign came from Geoffrey, count of Anjou and, briefly, of Normandy, and Geoffrey's son Henry, who later (1154) became King Henry II of England as well as ruler of both Anjou and Normandy. After Louis repudiated his wife Eleanor for misconduct on March 21, 1152, she married Henry, who then took over control of Aquitaine. Ironically, this act was probably to Capetian advantage because Aquitaine might have drained the resources of Louis's kingdom while bringing him little revenue. After the death of Louis's second wife, he married Alix of Champagne, whose Carolingian blood brought added prestige to the monarchy (1160); their son became Philip II Augustus.

Louis might have defeated Henry if he had made concerted attacks rather than weak assaults on Normandy in 1152. Anglo-Norman family disputes saved Louis's kingdom from severe incursions during the many conflicts that Louis had with Henry between 1152 and 1174. Louis was helped by the quarrel (1164-70) between Henry and Thomas Becket, archbishop of Canterbury, and a revolt (1173-74) of Henry's sons. Suger, abbot of Saint-Denis, who acted as regent in 1147-49 while Louis was away on the Second Crusade, is the primary historian for Louis's reign.

died - "Richard Thayer Sr. died Aug.27,1695aged 71 years," says his
gravestone, Hancock Cem., Quincy.
married Dec.24,1651 at Braintree, Dorothy Pray, born about 1634, died
Dec.11,1705, dau. of Quinton Pray, an iron worker, who resided near the
Thayer homestead on Elm. St., Braintree.
No settlement of his estate is recorded, but he was an extensive land
speculator and from his claims and rebuttals we know much about him. He
was one of the eight children who came over with his father early in
1641; in 1648 he purchased his father's homestead in Braintree and added
to it in 1661, 1663, 1667 and in 1668 mortgaged his lands and became
involved in a law suit because his title was not clear to some of them
and was in turn forced to sue for some of the Iron Works land that had
been sold to him without cleartitle. He became involved in other land
deals, having leased in 1657 a largetract of land at present Canton from
Capt. Roger Clapp, and in 1692 sued Clapp's heirs but lost the case.
About 1680 he returned to England and made claims for land which so
alarmed the Braintree inhabitants that they sent a petition to the throne
in England in rebuttal (Mass. Archives 3-34 & 1-87).  In 1685 he again
laid claim to large tracts of the Iron Works land. He only succeeded
however in obtaining the remaining estate of Increase Robinson of
Taunton, the administrator of the estate of John Payne of Boston who had
sold him by defective title a small piece of land belonging to the
creditors of the Iron Works Co. in Braintree. He also became in
litigation from - contract for building a vessel at Braintree in 1688
(Suffolk Court Rec. #1342 & #947).
In 1658 he was fined by the General Court for selling liquor contrary to
law (Mass. Colony Rec. Vol.4, p.1?). During the litigation and afterwards
he occupiedthe lands he had mortgaged to Simon Lynde, as a tenant and in
the settlementof Lynde's estate in 1689 his son Benjamin Lynde received
lands and estate at Braintree in the occupation of Richard Thayer.
Richard Thayer or his heirs eventually recovered some or all of these
lands, probably by repayment of themortgage. His well preserved
gravestone would indicate he had some estate athis decease, though none
is of record.
(See Pattee's History of Quincy pp. 40-54 for details of some of the
lawsuits, also Suffolk Court Rec. #1885,2053,2508, also Suffolk Deeds
5-446, 7-236, 11-309, 16-42, Bristol Deeds 1-224, 6-307, etc.)
He also was in Barbados in 1660 with his father, and probably stayed
there some time as no children are of record between 1658 and 1670. Galains Merovigian ~0901 - Abt JAN 961/962 Charles Constatine Carolingian Beatrice De Morvois 1810 Benjamin Lovett It is assumed that he is the brother of Joel, who was living next doorin 1850.

He is listed on page 208, as free colored, 2 males under 10, 1 male10-24, 1 male 24-36, 1 female under 10, 1 female 10-24.

Note that Hardy Lovett is listed on the same page, also as freecolored 101000/11000.  This puts Hardy in the age range of 24-36, thesame as Benjamin.

PERKINS, by Theodore Edison Perkins, Greensboro, NC, pgs. 272, 273

Data researched by Beatrice and Florence Cox of Wayne Co., NC 1112 - 1152 Gilbert De Clare 40 40 1005 Dunlaing O'Caellaide 1018 - 1076 Ermengarde De Anjou 58 58 1755 - 1826 Simon Cox 71 71 Simon Cox appears in the 1790 census for Robeson County, NorthCarolina.  At that time, he had one malel over 16, four males under 16and five females in the family, enumerated as white. In 1800, therewere 6 "other free persons" and two slaves in the household.  The 1810census shows three "other free persons."  He is not listed in the 1820census, but there are several deeds for him during the 18 20s,including one on 6 October 1826 (U-14).

Fortunately for us, Simon was counted as white in 1790, and from thiswe have an idea of how many boys and girls he had.  Since he had eightchildren by that time, it is reasonable to suppose that he had beenmarried for about 16 years.  In addition to the children I haveincluded in this database, he probably had two more boys and two moregirls not yet identified.

Among the early records regarding Simon, I note a land grant from thestate of North Carolina, 7 November 1784, 300 acres on East side ofHog Swamp.  This information is in "abstract of deeds, Bladen County,North Carolina" by Wanda Suggs Campbell.  In Robeson County deeds,Book A page 233, dated 10  November 1787, Simon Cox is listed as beinga neighbor of Adam Ivey.

Downloaded from Rootsweb, from the Database of loupero@aol.com. ~1660 - UNKNOWN Richard Cox Ancestral File Number:<AFN> 110R-PJ6 ~1776 Elizabeth Cox She is listed as age 74, living in the household of Joel and SusanLovett.  Benjamin Lovett, age 40, is listed on the next line afterElizabeth.

Elizabeth is listed as a head of household, living alone, one femaleage 55-100, listed in the free colored  column.

It should be noted that all the Lovett's in the 1840 census are listedas free colored. In addition to Benjamin and Hardy who are listed onthe same page, I also found Phoebe on page 224, possibly a widow withthree daughters under 10 and she is in the age range of 24-36.  Alsoanother woman head of household, Sylinder, listed as 01/0010001.  Itis not clear whether the older woman is the head of household, or theone who is 24-36.

I checked the 1830 Census, looked at the entire County, and found theonly Lovett to be William, on page 240, listed as white,0210001/1111001.

Going back to 1820, I found to William Lovetts and a Josiah Lovett, Idid not find either Benjamin or Elizabeth.  I did a Soundex search inthe online AIS census at Ancestry.com.  I found other spellings,Lovet,  Lovette,  Laviet, Loviet. None were Benjamin.

Notethat this deed was not recorded until November, 1816.

It appears to me he had died by that time, since Elizabeth is listedas a head of household in the 1840 census.

Benjamin and Elizabeth Lovett sold the land given them by Simon Cox toa person named Allen in 1821.  This was recorded 26 Feb. 1823, Book T,p. 231.  Note that we know that this was the older Benjamin, ratherthan the son who was there in 1850 because the younger Benjamin wouldhave been only 11 years old at the time. Although Simon Cox did notgive his daughter's name in the deed dated 1806, we can infer that hername was Elizabeth from the second deed. Note that I have notpersonally seen this second deed, which may have explicitly mentionthe relationship, it would be worthwhile to see this deed for anyclarification that may be present.

Edmund was born in 989 and succeeded his father in April 1016. In this year he fought six battles, but through treachery he was completely overthrown at Assandun in Essex. He and Canute the Dane agreed to divide the kingdom. He was chosen King of England by the Londoners on his father's death, while Canute was elected at Southampton by the Witan. Edmund hastily levied an army in the west, defeated Canute twice, raised the siege of London, and again routed the Danes. Levying a fresh army, he defeated them at Otford, his last victory. At Ashingdon in Essex, after a desperate fight, he was routed. By compromise with Canute, the latter retained Mercia and Northumbria, Edmund all the south and the headship, the survivor to succeed to the whole. A few weeks later Edmund died, in 1016, and Canute became King of England without a rival. It is said that the traitorous Edric Streona perhaps murdured Edmund on November 30, 1016, shortly after peace was made. 1309 - 1368 Catherine De Mortimer 59 59 Wolf Skoglar Tostesson Isabella Berengar ~0930 - UNKNOWN Raoul De Normandy 1285 - >1305 John Delves 20 20 1282 - 1324 Alice De Toeni 42 42 ~1755 John Cox John Cox appears in 1784 in the NC state census.

1790 census: John Cox 1510

1800 census: John Cox 12010-31010-00

1810 census: John Cox 00201-22110

1820 census: John Cox 000001-01001

Note that in all of these census records, John is enumerated as white.Also, there's no indication that he owned slaves.

From the 1790 census, we can see that John had five sons born between1774 and 1790.  By 1800 only two of those are at home.  But duringthat time, they had another boy and four girls. John's age in 1800indicates he was born between 1755 and 1774.  Was he younger thanGilbert and Simon?  Or was his wife considerably younger than he was,or did he have a second wife?  Or could some of those young childrenhave been grandchildren?  We have to keep these questions in mind aswe study his household.

Combining the three census records:
male 1774 to 1790
male 1774 to 1790
male 1774 to 1790
male 1774 to 1790

Downloaded from Rootsweb, from the Database of loupero@aol.com. ~1750 - >1820 Elizabeth Cox 70 70 The reason I believe she is the sister of Gilbert Cox is that she isof the right age, she named a son Gilbert, she appears to have beenlisted among the "other than white" group, as is Gilbert Cox, and sheand her sons were affiliated with Gilbert Cox and living in the sameneighborhood.

It appears that Gilbert has an older female in his household in 1820,presumably his mother. She does not appear in her own household or inGilberts in 1830.

Elizabeth was listed as white with six "other free" and eight slaves.She was listed eight households away from Gilbert Cox.

Richard Fitz-Alan, b. 1306, who being restored by parliament, 4th Edward III [1331], had the castle of Arundel (which had been given to Edmund, Earl of Kent, the king's uncle) rendered to him, and thus became 9th earl. In the 7th Edward III [1334], this nobleman was constituted governor of Chirke Castle, co. Denbigh, and the ensuing year had a grant of the inheritance of that castle, with all the territories thereunto belonging, being part of the possessions of Roger Mortimer, the attainted Earl of March; he was soon afterwards made governor of Porchester Castle, and the same year had a command in the wars of Scotland, where he continued engaged for some years. After this he was constituted admiral of the western seas, and governor of Caernarvon Castle. In the 14th Edward III [1341], his lordship embarked in the French wars, and participated in the glories of the subsequent campaigns. He was at the siege of Vannes, the relief of Thouars, and the immortal battle of Cressy. Besides his great military services, the earl was frequently employed in diplomatic missions of the first importance, and was esteemed one of the most eminent generals and statesmen of the era in which he lived. His lordship, who, with his other honours, had the Garter, contracted in minority and under constraint, marriage with Isabel, dau. of Hugh le Despencer, and had issue by her, an only dau., Philippa, m. to Sir Richard Sergeaux, Knt., of Cornwall. In 1345, he was divorced from this lady, and m. Lady Eleanor Plantagenet, dau. of Henry, Earl of Lancaster, and widow of John, Baron Beaumont, by whom he had issue, Richard, his successor; John, marshal of England in 1377, summoned to parliament 1st to 3rd Richard II. he d. 1379, having m.

On the Dukedom of Somerset [Burke's Peerage, p. 1661]

Two and a half ceturies later Richard II created the eldest of John of Gaunt's bastards by Catherine Swynford, John Beaufort, Earl of Somerset.  He was later promoted Marquess of Somerset, though degraded from the rank in the early part of Henry IV's reign.  Both before and after the deposition of Richard he was a prominent military figure, chiefly in France during the Hundred Years War.  The latter conflict continured to provide the Beafort Earls of Somerset with opportunities; the 3rd Earl [John Beaufort], one of John's younger sons, was promoted Duke of Somerset in 1443 following various military operations in Normandy, Anjou, and Maine, though these were competently executed rather than conspicuously triumphant.  Probably his close kinship with Henry VI was the chief cause of his leap in the peerage, for his mother Margaret was daughter of Thomas Earl of Kent, a descendant of Edward I.  It is this Duke of Somerset's daughter who was mother of Henry VII.

The Dukedom of Somerset created in 1443 expired with the death of the grantee [John Beaufort] in 1444.

It is said that their historical home is still standing in Neumagen.
     Joseph Simon de La Pointe got a land concession Nov. 12, 1715. He built the Spanish Fort [in Pascagoula] in 1718. It was a two story home. He married Marie Foucault. They had two daughters, Marie Simon and Elizabeth, who married Jean Baptiste de La Parde and Jean Claude Dupont.
     Hugo E. Krebs came to America in the 1730s. He married Marie Simon in 1741. They lived at the Spanish Fort. He was said to have lived like a feudal lord, owned slaves by the hundreds, raised cotton, indigo and rice. He was an inventor as well as a surgeon and farmer. Among the existing relics is proof that he invented a cotton gin 20 years before Eli Whitney. In 1772, Bernard Romans wrote that he saw a roller Cotton Gin on the farm of Mr. Krebs.
     On Oct. 20, 1763, there is a declaration by Krebs, surgeon residing in Pascagoula, that he treated a Mr . Laporte who was brought to his residence very ill. Krebs treated him and he died Oct. 5, 1763.
     The famous Cardinal-Scientist, Nicholas Krebs of Cusa, was born in 1400. His father Johann Krebs was a boat builder on the Mosel River and the Cardinal also had a brother Johann who may be an ancestor of Hugo Krebs.
     Hugo and Marie had seven children: Joseph Simon 1742, Francois 1748, Pierre 1748, Marie Joseph 1745, Mathias 1747, Marguerite 1749, and Augustin 1750. Marie died July 11,1751, and is said to be buried in the Krebs Cemetery next to their home, but there is no marker. All the old graves were crumbling and overgrown with weeds.
     Hugo married second Marie Ann Chauvin de Joyeuse. They had seven children: Daniel Hugo 1755, Antoine Raphel 1756, Marie Theresa 1759, Ann Charita 1762, Basi11764, Marie Rose 1766 and Cecile 1767. Marie Anne's parents were Phillip Chauvin dit Joyeuse (1707) and Marie Danys (1718).
Hugo is said to have moved to Louisiana in 1770. He wrote his will in 1776. It is believed that he died in Louisiana, but no death record has been found. His second wife made her will in July 30, 1799, in Louisiana.
     The Krebs family occupied the Krebs Fort until 1930, the last being Mrs. Cecile Krebs Johnson.
Hugo and his descendants owned much of the land in Pascagoula, and some in Mobile. The old Krebs house at the northwest corner of Conti and Hamilton Street in Mobile belonged to descendants of Joseph Krebs, and they sold it in 1901. It was used as the Mobile Library.

Through the marriage of his daughter Begga with Ansegisel, son of Arnulf (d. 641; bishop of Metz), Pepin was the founder of the Carolingian dynasty. Deprived of his mayoralty at the accession (629) of Dagobert I, he regained power in Austrasia after that king's death (January 639) but did not long survive to enjoy it.

BORTHWICK CASTLE

Just over a mile and a half south-east of Gorebridge, Midlothian.

Borthwick castle is one of the most impressive tower houses in Scotland and at a height of 110 feet it is the tallest.

Complete and largely unaltered during its 580 years, it was built by Sir James Borthwick (later Lord Borthwick) in 1420, on the site of an earlier motte castle known as Lochorwart, granted to him by James I. It is U-shaped in plan and has walls up to 14 feet thick at lower levels. (Note James, 1st Lord Borthwick was son of William & Miss Hay)

[Note the first Lord Borthwick was William-not James, and another site states it was built by William in 1430] ~0859 - ~0898 Aethelhelm Wiltshire 39 39 1375 Christian Stewart Christian Stewart; m. James de Dundas, d. bef. Nov 1451.  * * * This marriage & reputed daughter [Miss Dundas who married Sir Alexander Livingston] are not metioned in the Dundas pedigree in J.

Note: There is some confusion in Burke's Peerage as to Eleanor's ancestry.  Pages 2831 & 418 name her "only sister of 1st Earl of Douglas".  Yet page 2325 states that she is an illegitimate daughter of the 1st Earl by Margaret Stewart, Countess of Angus in her own right.  I think her birth date precludes her being daughter of Margaret Stewart. 1148 - 1207 Rognvald Somerledsson 59 59 I wish I was  sure of every name in this file &amp; that I didnt

" .. surnamed the 'Grim,' from his swart complexion and stern expression of countenance. Before he succeeded to the earldom he fought with great gallantry in the wars of both France and England. In 1356 he accompanied William, Earl of Douglas, to France, and was taken prisoner at the battle of Poitiers (13th September), but made his escape through a dexterous strategem of Sir William Ramsay of Colluthie. In 1378 he inflicted a signal defeat, near Melrose, of a body of English spearmen and archers under Sir Thomas Musgrave. Before the battle he knighted on the field two of the King's sons, who were under his banner, along with his own son. The conflict was keenly contested, but was quickly decided. Douglas, according to his general custom, as Froissart mentions, when he found the fight becoming hot, dismounted, and wielding a large two-handled sword, made such havoc among the enemy that they gave way on all sides. Great numbers were slain, and Musgrave and his son, with many other knights and squires, were taken prisoners. After the Earl became the head of the family, he was regarded as the most powerful subject in the kingdom He was noted for his courage, firmness, and sagacity, and not less for his pride. Hume of Godscroft says, 'He was a man nothing inferior to any of his predecessors in any kind of virtue. In piety he was singular through his whole life, and most religious according to those times! He founded the Collegiate Church of Bothwell, a part of which still remains to attest its former magnificence. Godscroft affirms that the Earl had a mind free from all ambition, but his conduct in regard to the marriage of his daughter Marjory to Daivd, Duke of Rothesay, the heir-apparent to the throne, shows that he was scarcely entitled to that eulogium. The Prince was affianced to the daughter of the Earl of March; but Douglas, jealous of the aggrandisement of a rival noble, by the offer of a much more splendid dowry prevailed upon Albany, the King's brother, to get that contract set aside, on the plea that the sanction of the Estates had not been given to it, and to wed Rothesay to Marjory Douglas. The result of this dishonourable transaction was highly injurious to the happiness of the Prince, and the peace of the country. Notwithstanding, the influence of the Earl was on the whole beneficial during the feeble reign of Robert III; and when he and the Queen-mother, Anabella Drummond, and the venerable Bishop Traill of St. Andrews, all died, A.D. 1400, within a short time of each other, according to Fordun it was commonly said throughout the kingdom that the glory and honesty of Scotland was buried with these three noble persons."

HISTORY OF THE HOUSE OF GORDON
"...After the death of his father, his eldest son received from King Robert II a fresh charter of the lands of Strathbogie. This charter, dated the 13th July, 1376, is of great importance. In it, he is designated as Joannes de GORDON.  Sir John, according to the Record of Aboyne, lived until 1394. He married Elizabeth Somervell by whom he had four sons, Adam, who succeeded to the estates and John [see p. 142]. Alexander and Roger who were killed at Hamildon Hill in 1402 leaving no issue. "

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
from www.electricscotland.com on Clan Gordon:

Sir John Gordon, his great-grandson, got a new charter from King Robert the Second of the lands of Strathbogie, dated 13th June 1376. He was slain at the battle of Otterbourne in 1388. His son, Sir Adam, lord of Gordon, fell at the battle of Homildon, 14th September 1402. By his wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Sir William Keith, great mareschal of Scotland, he had an only child, Elizabeth Gordon, who succeeded to the whole family estates, and having married Alexander Seton, second son of Sir William Seton of Seton, ancestor of the Earls of Winton, that gentleman was styled lord of Gordon and Huntly. He left two sons, the younger of whom became ancestor of the Setons of Meldrum.

Joan, Countess of Kent and Baroness Wake, both in her own right; married 1st by 1339 Sir Thomas de Holand, KG, of Broughton, Bucks, considered to be Earl of Kent in right of his wife.  Joan, Countess of Kent, married 2nd 10 Oct 1361 Edward, (The Black Prince), Prince of Wales (dvp 3 June 1376), eldest son of Edward III, and died 8 Aug 1385, leaving by him [Richard II King of England; deposed 30 Sep 1399, murdered 14 Feb 1399/1400], with an elder son (died at age seven).  [Burke's Peerage]

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

First Female holder of Order of the Garter, "a great beauty".

She was described as the most beautiful and most amorous lady in the whole kingdom of her time.  Born the youngest child of Edmund of Woodstock, created Earl of Kent by his father, King Edward I.  She was only 2 when he was executed for plotting against the regency of Queen Isabella (who, with the help of her lover Roger Mortimer, had deposed her husband Edward II in favor of her son Edward III).  Although the granddaughter of a king, she had few material prospects, and that would indicate that her marriage to Sir Thomas was a love match.

Thomas de Holand fought at the Battle of Crecy, 26 Aug 1346.  During his absence abroad, Joan his wife went through a form of marriage (possibly under compulsion) with William de Montagu, 2nd Earl of Salisbury (d. June 3, 1397), KG.  On 17 Nov 1349 the Pope ordered that Joan be restored to her lawful husband. 0915 Norman De Basset Living Jennings 1315 - <1375 Adam John De Gordon 60 60 Sir Adam Gordon of that ilk: apparently had, with an elder son (Sir John of that ilk; imprisoned Durham 1346 [Battle of Neville's Cross], released 1357; had confirmatory charter of Strathbogie 1376; died c1395 and by two illegitimate sons (John/Jock Gordon , of Scudargue, and Thomas Gordon, of Ruthven) was ancestor of Gordon's in Mar, Buchan, and Strathbogie. [Burke's Peerage]

Burke's Peerage indicates that  Sir Adam (Not son John) is the father of "Adam the 11th Laird de Gordon".

HISTORY OF THE HOUSE OF GORDON

About Caerlaverock Castle:

The story is obscure until about 1356 when Roger Kirkpatrick is recorded as having returned the whole of Nithsdale to the Scottish Crown.  Much of the castle as it is today was completed in the late fifteenth century by Herbert Maxwell, first Lord Maxwell and his son Robert second Lord Maxwell.  Caerlaverock Castle once again figured in the conflicts between Scotland and England in the sixteenth century.

From Doug Hickling [to someone else who had a diiferent Isabella as James' wife]

"You show that the wife of James (2nd Earl of Douglas) Douglas was Isabella (of Durisdeer) Stewart whereas both SP and CP say that she was Isabel Stewart, daughter of King Robert II by Eupheme of Ross, but the name of the spouse is irrelevant because James's sons and a daughter were all illegitimate! This is why he granted the lands of Drumlanrig to his bastard son William and why James, the second Earl, was succeeded by his cousin Archibald Douglas (the Grim), bastard son of James, Lord of Douglas, called the good Sir James who was in turn the son of Sir William (le Hardi) Douglas."

Some lines put Margaret as daughter of Walter Leslie, Earl of Ross & Euphemia Countess of Ross.  However, according to Burke's Peerage, they were not married until 13 Sep 1365, which would put Margaret's birth about 1380 or later (only about 60 or more years too young to have married William). 1290 - <1324 Andrew Leslie 34 34 Sir Andrew de Leslie; married 1313 Mary, daughter of Alexander Abernethy of that Ilk, thus acquiring Ballinbreich, Fife and Cairnie, Forfar, and died by 1324.  [Burke's Peerage]

Sir Andrew Leslie, who married the Abernethy heiress, was one of the Scottish barons that in 1320 signed the famous letter to the Pope asserting Scottish independence.  His younger son Walter married the daughter of the Earl of Ross and was given the earldom by the King, who seized it from the male-line of the House of Ross.  The earldom soon passed deviously from the family by another heiress, into the hands of the Stewarts.  Sir Andrew’s great-grandson was in 1437 created Earl of Rothes.

They [the Leslie family] also acquired lands in central Fife and on the south side of the Firth of Tay, the latter by an Abernethy heiress.

"After a truce was made with England, he joined the Teutonic knights in their crusade against the Pagans in Prussia and Lithuania, and was appointed admiral of their fleet. He is said to have been created Duke of Prussia and Prince of Dantzic for his services in raising the siege of that town and expelling the Pagans from the district. His countrymen were also thenceforth made freemen of Dantzic.

Local tradition says Catherine Stirling had a deformed brother known by the sobriquet of ‘Jackie Stirlin,' who was heir to the property. He was to marry the daughter of a neighbouring baron, but this union did not approve itself to Sir Alexander and his lady. Remonstrance proving of no avail, the laird was despatched at a place a little to the north of the Castle, and the body was buried in the family vault. The crime embittered the latter days of the Lord of Edzell, and he made atonement for the murderous deed of his youth by large gifts to the Church. He rebuilt the Church of Finhaven, and gifted it to the Cathedral of Brechin, then went on a pilgrimage to Palestine.

The prebendary had a stall in the choir of Brechin, and said mass daily for his safe conduct. Gifts to the Church and penance have ever been Rome's panacea for crimes, even of the blackest dye. We are told of a better way. The blood of Christ cleanseth from all sin."

Sir Alexander Lindsay profited little by his pilgrimage and the daily masses for his soul. They did not stay the hand of the avenging angel, he having struck the penitent down long before he reached Palestine. ~1335 - <1378 Catherine Stirling 43 43 Catherine, daughter of Sir John Stirling of Edzell and heiress of Glenesk.  [Burke's Peerage]

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

About the middle of the fourteenth century the male line of the Stirlings of Glenesk failed in two co-heiresses. One of these ladies, Catherine Stirling, was married to Sir Alexander Lindsay, third son of Sir David of Crawford, and she was the mother of the first Earl of Crawford. The other daughter was married to Robert de Atholia, grandson of Angus - Lord of the Isles. He succeeded to the Inverness and Moray portion of the Stirling estates; Sir Alexander Lindsay inherited the Angus section of them, and they formed a noble domain. Catherine Stirling died some time before 1378, as Sir Alexander Lindsay had married his second wife, Marjory Stuart, cousin to Robert, Duke of Albany, prior to that date. ~1300 John Stirling Sir John Stirling of Edzell.  [Burke's Peerage]

The next proprietors of Glenesk of whom we have any knowledge are the Stirlings. It is not known whether they followed immediately after the other owners we have noticed, or if there was an intermediate proprietary race. The family whence they sprung is not certainly known, but it is probable they were of the same stock as the family of Keir, the armorial bearings of both having points in common. In what manner, or from whom, they acquired Glenesk is also unknown. Besides possessing Glenesk, Edzell, and Lethnot, they were also the proprietors of large estates in Inverness and Moray shires, and they were sometimes designed ‘de Moravia’. In Ragman Rolls they are so styled, and several others of them swore fealty to Edward I at same time, as did ‘de Glenesk’. ~1299 - <1355 David Lindsay 56 56 1349 & 1351 - Ambassador to England

11. Sir William Graham of Kincardine; possibly married (1) after 1390 to a daughter of Sir Alexander Lindsay of Glenesk and Catherine Stirling; married (2) before 1404 to Mariota, daughter of Sir John Oliphant of Aberdalgie; married (3) about 13 November 1413 to Mary, daughter of Robert III, King of Scots and Annabella Drummond (died after 1458). William died in 1424.

William had a charter from Robert, Duke of Albany in 1407 of an entail for the lands of Old Montrose. He may have been created a Lord of Parliament as Lord Graham by the Duke of Albany in his capacity as Regent in about 1419, while James I was in English captivity, but such creations can only legally be made by a monarch. He married the king's sister as his second or third wife, while he was her third or fourth husband.

His first wife (if the marriage took place) was widow of David Stewart, Earl of Caithness and Strathearn, a younger son of King Robert II. The only child of this earlier marriage, Euphemia Stewart, married William's half-brother Sir Patrick Graham of Dundaff and Kilpont, and they were the parents of Malise Graham, Earl of Menteith.
William's daughter Elizabeth had a church dispensation to marry Walter, Earl of Atholl and Caithness, another of Robert II's younger sons, although the marriage may never have taken place. She later married an illegitimate son of Robert II. 1415 - <1447 Marian Seton 32 32 Marian, daughter of Sir William Seton of Seton.  [Burke's Peerage] ~1390 - 1424 William Seton 34 34 ~1390 Janet Dunbar ~1370 - <1434 John Seton 64 64 Sir John Seton; had a charter of confirmation of the territorial Barony of Seton and Tranent and the lands of Winchburgh 24 March 1410/1; hostage for James I 1424.  [Burke's Peerage] ~1375 - >1450 Katherine St. Clair 75 75 Burke's indicates that Katherine is daughter of a William Sinclair of Herdmanston.  This could be a brother of John, who I show as father based on World Connect info.  William might have stayed at Herdmanston while John went to Polwarth.  John might also have been known as William.

The district of Moray remained for a long time separate from both the area of Scotland occupied by the Northern Picts and that of the Southern Picts, but its rulers were not strictly speaking Earls.  It was finally conquered by the Scots proper in 1130 and thereafter held by the Kings of Scotland as a royal possession till 1312.  In that year Thomas Randolph, whose mother was sister of Robert I the Bruce, was created Earl of Moray.  He led the left wing of the Scottish army at the victory over the English of Bannockburn in 1314, having a few months before retaken Edinburgh Castle from its temporary English captors.  The year after Bannockburn he was declared Guardian of the Realm in the event of the crown descending to a minor.  He accordingly became Regent on Robert I's death in 1329. ~1290 - 1357 Isabel Stewart 67 67 ~1287 - >1331 Alexander Dunbar 44 44 ~1242 - 1308 Patrick Dunbar 66 66 Patrick de Dunbar, 7th Earl of Dunbar; also from c 1290 known as (1st) Earl of March from his possessions on the Border, or March, with England, and more familiarly as "Black-Beard", a claimant to the vacant Scottish Crown 1291 but quite soon dropped the claim; allying himself with the English in their war against the Scots 1296 and being made King Edward I's Lt. of Scotland 1298 and taking part with the English in the Siege of Carlaverock 1300 (on which occasion in one source the title is revived for him of Earl of Lothian).  m by 1282 Marjory Comyn (apparently of completely opposite loyalties to those of her husband since she held out in Dunbar Castle on behalf of the Scots against besieging English till obliged to capitulate in April 1296).  [Burke's Peerage] ~1258 - >1296 Marjory Comyn 38 38 ~1285 - 1368 Patrick Dunbar 83 83 Patrick de Dunbar, 8th Earl of Dunbar/(2nd) Earl of March; initially pro-English, playing host at Dunbar Castle to the defeated Edward II after the rout of Bannockburn 1314 and facilitating his escape back to England; later supported Scottish independence and helped take Berwick 1318 (by which time Sheriff of Lothian); commanded Scottish troops at defeats by English of Dupplin 1332 and Halidon Hill 1333, following which he again went over to the English but after a year or so ratted on them a second time, subsequently commanding the Scottish left wing at the defeat by the English of Neville's Cross 1346; he appears to have deserted the Scots Crown yet a third time by Feb 1360/1 since in that month he is called a rebel and his lands are pronounced forfeited.

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

The Wolf of Badenoch, is one of the most memorable historical characters of Strathspey.

The son of King Robert II, he was one of the most blackest, most evil character in Scotland's history.  Alexander Stewart, Alisdair Mor mac an Righ, was better know as Big Alexander, or the Wolf of Badenoch.

The times in which he lived were barbarous, but even by their standards he stood out, and was feared over a considerable distance.

Throughout his life he was Lord of Badenoch around 1371, Earl of Buchanan and was also his brother's royal deputy in the north of Scotland.

The Wolf ruled the lands of Badenoch in a cruel way, burning the homes of those who crossed or displeased them.  Taking labour and goods way beyond any reason.

His wife, Countess of Ross, was deserted by him.  His wife appealed to the Bishop of Moray, who unfortunately for him, gave judgement in her favour.

The Wolf was outraged.   All out for revenge, he came down from his stronghold, the castle of Lochindorb and ransacked and burned Forres and Elgin.   Elgin of course, being the ecclesiastical centre of the Bishopric of Moray.   Setting off fires, mainly in the College, the Canon's houses and the Hospital of the Maison Dieu, he terrified the people of Elgin, forcing them to flee with their families into the countryside.

In 1390 he burned Elgin Cathedral, destroying many of its records including family, legal and monastic - irreplaceable.  A terrible loss.

The Wolf was called upon by his father to do penance for this heinous crime.  This he did under the watchful eye of his father the King, nobles and many dignitaries of the church.  The King, believing that his son had learnt his lesson, finally pardoned him, and he was received back into the Church.   Unfortunately, his repentance was superficial.

Throughout his reign he extended and reinforced his castles at Loch-an-Eilein and Lochindorb, and yet hardly changed Castle Roy at Nethy Bridge.

Legend has it that The Wolf of Badenoch died in 1394, although others maintain is was in 1406, when it is believed that he played chess with the devil.  He had been visited at Ruthven Castle by a man, who was tall, and dressed in black.  The man wished to play a game of chess with the Wolf.   The game went on for several hours until the tall, darkly dressed man moved one of the chess pieces and called 'check' and then 'checkmate'.  The man rose from the table.  On calling these words there was a terrible storm of thunder, hail and lightening.  The storm continued through the night until silence befell the castle in the morning.  In that morning silence, it was then that the Wolf's men were discovered outside the castle walls, dead and blackened as if they had all been struck by the lightening.  The Wolf was found in the banqueting hall, and although his body appeared unmarked, the nails in his boots had all been torn out.

The funeral procession was held two days later, led by the Wolf's coffin.  Terrible storms started over and over again as the coffins were added to the procession.  It was only after the Wolf's coffin was carried to the back of the procession did the storms cease.  The storms did not return.

The Wolf of Badenoch was not buried locally, but is buried in Dunkeld Cathedral. ~1300 - >1333 Margaret Graham 33 33 ~1330 Margaret Sinclair Margaret (either a daughter of Henry Sinclair or his Son William) married Sir John Saint Clair of Herdmanston and had issue, who over three centuries later intermarried with the daughter of the 9th Lord Sinclair.  [Burke's Peerage, p. 469]

Located 1½ miles (2½ km) SE of Gifford in East Lothian, Yester Castle was built in 1297 by Hugo de Gifford, the so-called Wizard of Yester. Beneath is the sizeable Goblin Ha', where Gifford is said to have made magic. This name is echoed in a small hotel in the village of Gifford and the goblins were immortalised in Sir Walter Scott's Marmion.

The castle passed to the Hay family through marriage in the 14th C. and in a similar fashion to so many others, it was abandoned after the Hays moved to the more comfortable surroundings of a new home on the site of the present Yester House. Today the castle lies a ruin on the margins of the Yester Estate owned by the italian composer Gian Carlo Menotti. 1306 Hugh Gifford Hugo Gifford of Yester.  [Burke's Peerage] 1314 Joanna Douglas ~1345 Beatrice De Vaux ?

Doune Castle is named for a dun, meaning fortified town, which stood nearby. Doune was the Highland center for pistol making. There are traces of prehistoric earthworks around this stone castle. This iteration of the castle was built as a hunting lodge for Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, who was the Regent of Scotland from 1396-1420. Much of the castle has been restored in recent centuries, but it is still one of the least changed castles in Scotland.

Albany died in 1420, and his son, Murdoch, inherited the castle. He didn't have it for long, though. He was put to death by James I in 1425, and for more than a century, Doune Castle was held by the Crown. It finally passed to the Morays.

Lennox, previous creations: The Earldom descended to Maldouen's grandson (Malcolm, 4th Earl), then to the latter's son (another Malcolm, 5th Earl) and grandson (Donald, 6th Earl).  In about 1364, however, the 6th Earl's daughter Margaret inherited the title as Countess of Lennox in her own right.  She married Walter de Fasselane (modern Faslane), who seems to have been recognized as Earl of Lennox in right of his wife since in about 1385 the two of them made the dignity over to their eldest son Duncan.  This son, the 8th Earl, who had not legitimate sons, got a regrant of the title from Robert III extending the line of descent to his daughter and her husband, though why this was thought necessary, given that the Earldom had already descended in just such a manner only a generation previously, is uncertain.  One can only assume that the view of Earldoms in Scotland was changing about this time. 

Isabel, the daughter of Duncan, 8th Earl of Lennox, accordingly became Countess of Lennox, in her own right, but her husaband Murdoch, 2nd Duke of Albany and first cousin of James I, was involved in a plot against the King and executed along with his father-in-law, the 8th Earl of Lennox.  [Burke's Peerage, p. 2402]

The citation in Burke's Peerage for this John refers to the lineage of the Dukes of Montrose that contains a John who I have as father of this John, and several internet sources indicate that this John is the son of a John, so I believe this relationship is correct.  However there is nothing in Burke's which absolutely nails the relationship down.  Many have John a descendant of Patrick, which I have with an intervening John who was living 1317 according to Burke's.  However many have John the son of Patrick who married Annabella, while, according to Burke, Annabella married Patrick's father David (They had a son John who died at the Battle of Falkirk in 1289). Some have John the son of John of Abercorn which would have been a different line departing from this line up at the beginning with Peter son of William.

Aethelwulf reigned 839-858 on the throne of Wessex, which at the time was also the throne of England. As was his father, and as would be his son Alfred, Aethelwulf was plagued by the endless Viking raids. Therefore, by necessity, he was a warrior king. He was also a very religious man who cared for the establishment and preservation of the Church.

During his reign the Danes miserably spoiled England, daring to winter there for the first time. In 851 Aethelwulf routed them at Okely in Surrey. By the advice of St. Swithin, Bishop of Winchester, he granted the church the tithe of all his dominions. ~1337 - 1406 Robert John III Stewart 69 69 Robertt III..., after having ruled Scotland in the name of his father, Robert II, from 1384 to 1388, physically disabled by a kick from a horse, he was never the real ruler of Scotland during the years of his kingship.

The eldest son of Robert the Steward and Elizabeth Mure, he was legitimized by their marriage several years after his birth.  In 1362-3 he joined his father in a futile revolt against King David II, who both imprisoned him and created him Earl of Carrick in 1368.  (He had been created Earl of Atholl in 1367.)  Robert II became king in 1371; in 1384, because of his advanced age, he turned over the government to Carrick. After his injury in 1388, however, Carrick was supplanted by his brother Robert, Earl of Fife.

On his accession, probably on April 19, 1390, he changed his name to Robert III from John to avoid reminding others of John de Balliol, King of Scotland from 1292 to 1296, who was not favourably remembered.  Fife, created Duke of Albany in 1398, continued to govern throughout this reign, except for three years (1398-1402) when Robert III's eldest son, David Duke of Rothesay, took his place.  The dissolute Rothesay died in March 1402 while imprisoned in Albany's castle of Falkland, Fife. Perhaps in an attempt to save his remaining son, James (afterward James I King of Scotland) from death at Albany's hands, Robert III sent the boy to France, but James was captured by English sailors, a shock to the aging king.  [Encylclopedia Britannica]

She married Sir John Drummond about 1345. Sir John Drummond also obtained with her the Barony of Cargill which ever since has remained in the hands of the Drummonds or their heirs of line. (See the Clan Drummond Society) ~1305 William De Montifex The surname Cargill/Cargile is derived from the ancient lands of Cargill, lying in the present Parish of Cargill in Perthshire, Scotland. The Parish of Cargill is "ten miles inland from the east coast of Scotland, near where the Isla River flows into the River Tay." The parish name has undergone many changes, as language itself has altered. The Celtic derivations of the name Cargill have been given, but the most authoritative is the one meaning "white fort." The ancient lands of Cargill lay in the immediate vicinity of an old Roman camp. The Barony of Cargill afterward included several other lands besides the lands of Cargill, and the Parish of Cargill included the two baronies of Cargill and Stobhall.

The Cargill place is first mentioned in a charter granted in 1164 by Malcolm IV to the Abbot and convent of Scone, confirming lands and privileges granted them by Alexander I and David I. Some time between 1189 and 1196, William, the Lion, granted a charter to Richard de Montfichet of the "land of Kergille as fully as I held it in my hand and by those right bounds that used to belong to it on the day I gave it to him to be held of the kind and his successors with full rights of barony." (This is found in a copy of the Drummond charter in the Register House, Edinburgh.) During this same period, Richard, the Lion, granted some lands in Kergill to the monks of Cupar. And in 1220, William de Montfichet, son of Richard, granted a charter to the monks of Cupar "in my town of Kergillo." Between 1199 and 1225, Bernard de Kergylle (chaplain of Kergill) witnessed several charters of the Bishop of Dunkeld, the Kirk of Cargill being a mensal church of the bishopric of Dunkeld. The first person of the surname Cargill was Peter de Kergill, ca 1246. Others in this family lineage held title to the lands, including Walter de Kergyl, 1260; Bernard de Kergylle, 1283; Walter de Kergille, 1296; Iwyn de Carghille, 1296.

In 1328 Robert I The Bruce granted Auchterarder in Perthsire to the Montifex family.  This was later given in dowery to the Drummonds. ~1389 Archibald Edmonstone Sir Archibald Edmonstoune, probably younger son of the 1st Sir John, of Edmonstoune.  [Burke's Peerage] ~1348 - >1410 John Edmonstone 62 62 The Edmonstone's of Duntreath may well be a junior line of the Edmonstoune's of Emonstoune and Ednam.  [Burke's Peerage] ~1360 Isabel Stewart ~1465 - 23 JAN 1527/1528 Helen Campbell ~1440 - 1493 Colin Campbell 53 53 1st Earl of Argyll, so created 1457; Master King's Household 1464; Lord High Chancellor of Scotland 1483.  [Burke's Peerage]

from Clan Lamont web site on Clan feud with Campbell Clain:

Forty years later another incident occurred in which the generosity of the chief of Clan Lamont was turned to account by his enemies. Celestine, son of Sir Duncan Campbell the Black Knight of Lochow, had died while being educated in the Lowlands. It was winter, and by reason of the deep snows, Campbell professed to find it impossible to convey the body of his son through the mountain passes to Loch Awe. He accordingly asked permission from the Lamont chief to bury his son in the little Lamont kirk at Kilmun on the Holy Loch. Permission was granted in terms thus translated from the Gaelic: "I the Great Lamont of all Cowal do give unto-thee, Black Knight of Lochow, the grave of flags wherein to bury thy son in thy distress." Soon afterwards the Campbell chief endowed the burial-place of his son as a collegiate church, and from that day to this Kilmun has remained the burial-place of the Argylls. In 1472 Colin, Earl of Argyll, obtained a charter of further lands about Dunoon Castle, including the West Bay and Innellan, and the stronghold of Dunoon appears forthwith to have become a chief seat of the Argylls.

The beginning of their eclipse (Clan Lamont's) may be dated from the middle of the fourteenth century. In 1334, when Edward Baliol had overrun Scotland, basely acknowledging Edward III. of England as his suzerain, and when, as a consequence of the battles of Dupplin and Halidon Hill, it had looked as if all the labours and victories of Robert the Bruce had been in vain, Bruce’s young grandson, Robert the High Steward, suddenly turned the tables. From hiding in Bute he escaped to Dunbarton, raised his vassals of Renfrewshire, and stormed the stronghold of Dunoon. This was the signal for the Scots to rise, and before long Scotland was once more free. Among those who helped the High Steward on this occasion, was Sir Colin Campbell of Lochow, and when Robert the Steward became King Robert II, in 1371, he made Campbell hereditary keeper of his royal castle of Dunoon. From that day the Campbells used every means to increase their footing in Cowal, and before long a feud broke out between them and Clan Lamont, the ancient possessors of the district, which was to end, nearly three centuries later, in one of the most tragic incidents of Highland history.

One of the first episodes of the feud took place in the year 1400. The King’s court was then at Rothesay Castle, and from it, one day, three young lords crossed over to hunt at Ardyne in the Lamont country. As a sequel to their excursion, they tried to carry off some of the young women of Cowal; at which four sons of the Lamont Chief came to the rescue and slew the ravishers. A garbled account of the incident was carried to the court, and as a result, the King confiscated the Lamont territory in Strath Echaig, and conferred it on the Campbell chief.

In the early 1300s, came a great down turn in the Clan's fortunes. Laumon's grandson, Sir John, supported the MacDougalls of Lorne against Robert the Bruce.

The Lamonts of Ardlamont, however, who held their land as vassals of the High Steward in Bute, may have fought in Bruce's bodyguard at Bannockburn. When Bruce was secure on the Scottish throne the Lamont Chief suffered with the House of Lorne and the Clan's land was claimed by the king's loyal supporter, Campbell, Black Knight of Lochawe.

Many years later:

It was a few years after this that an event occurred which throws a vivid light upon the chivalric character of these old Highland chiefs. The incident took place either in 1602 or 1633. The tradition runs that the son of a Lamont chief had gone hunting on the shores of Loch Awe with the only son of MacGregor of Glenstrae. At nightfall the two young men had made their camp in a cave, when a quarrel arose between them, and in the sudden strife Lamont drew his dirk, and MacGregor fell mortally wounded. Pursued by MacGregor’s retainers, the aggressor fled, and, losing all idea of his way in the dark, and at last espying a light, applied for shelter at MacGregor’s own house of Glenstrae. The old chief was stricken with grief when he heard the tale, and guessed it was his own son who had been slain. But the Highland laws of hospitality were inexorable. "Here, this night," he said, "you shall be safe "; and when the clansmen arrived, demanding vengeance, he protected young Lamont from their fury. Then, while it was still dark, he conducted the young man across the hills to Dunderave on Loch Fyne, and procured him a boat and oars. "Flee," he said, "for your life; in your own country we shall pursue you. Save yourself if you can!"

Years afterwards an old man, hunted and desperate, came to Toward Castle gate and besought shelter. It was MacGregor of Glenstrae, stripped of his lands by the rapacious Campbells, and fleeing for his life. Lamont had not forgotten him, and he took him in, gave him a home for years, and when he died, buried him with all the honour due to his rank in the little graveyard about the chapel of St. Mary on the farm of Toward-an-Uilt, where his resting place was long pointed out.

As is well known, the Campbells had been engaged for over a century in making themselves masters of the ancient lands of Clan Gregor, and it may be that this act of hospitality to the old MacGregor chief formed the last drop in the cup of the ancient feud which brought destruction upon Clan Lamont.

Toward Castle was the Lamont family seat for many years beginning in the 15th century.

Notes from Sally Walmsley [Geniedash@bigpond.com]:

Sir Thomas Boyd IV succeeded to the Kilmarnock Estates, but was only to hold them for seven years. he seems to have been an excessively war-like knight. From Dena Castle, he picked an argument with the Stewarts of Darnley, and killed Sir Alan Stewart of Darnley in a fight between Linlithgow and Falkirk.

Notes from Sally Walmsley [Geniedash@bigpond.com]:

Sir Thomas Boyd III was married to the fifth child of Sir John Montgomerie of Ardrossan, variously called Joanna or Janet. In 1406, James Stewart became heir to the throne of Scotland, but was unable to claim it for ninetteenyears as he was held prisoner by the English in the Tower of London. In 1424, he was ransomed, Sir Thomas Boyd III being one of the hostages sent to take his place. Sir Thomas was imprisoned at Fotheringay and Dover castles. Whether he ever returned hom alive we do not know. He was bured with his wife in the old kirk at Kilmarnock, their tomb bearain the inscription:-

Sir Thomas Boyd II was described in contemporary documents as 'Dominus de Kilmarnock'. He was married to the daughter of Sir John Gifford of Yester. He was pardoned in 1409 for slaying Neilson of Dalrymple, when he must have been a good age. Apart from this, he seems to have left no record. He was succeed by his son, the third Sir Thomas.

We know little about the first Sir Thomas Boyd, who succeeded to the Boyd estates.

"On the death of his brother-in-law [Thomas Stewart] he obtained possession of the historical earldom of Mar and transmitted it, along with his own hereditary titles and estates, to his son James, the hero of Otterburn, 'the dead man that won a fight' one of the most renowned in Scottish history. The Douglas estates were inherited by Archibald 'the Grim,' the kinsman of Earl James, while the earldom of Mar passed to his sister, Isabella, wife of Sir Malcolm Drummond, brother of Annabella, Queen of Scotland, wife of Robert III.

Though he is often shown as having married Margaret of Mar, daughter of Donald of Mar, that is questionable. He had illegitimate children with Margaret Stewart, whose father was Earl of Mar, but she was Countess of Angus (having inherited this title from her brother). Widely varying dates of birth for the legitimate children make it possible that he was, in fact, married twice.

" ... son of the Regent who fell at Halidon Hill, and nephew of the 'Good Sir James,' returned from France, where he had been bred to arms, soon after the battle of Neville's Cross and the captivity of the Scottish king, and, with the hereditary valour and energy of his house, succeeded in expelling the English from Douglasdale, and in the course of time from Ettrick Forest, Tweeddale, and Teviotdale. He was created Earl of Douglas by King David in 1357. He faithfully supported the cause of national independence, and even went so far as to unite with the Steward and the Earl of March in a formal bond to compel David to change his counsellors and to give up his intrigues for altering the succession to the crown in favour of one of the sons of the English king. He made a pilgramage to the shrine of St. Thomas-a-Becket in the year 1363; but, unlike some others of the great Scottish barons, who made such pilgramages a pretext for treasonable intrigues with the English Government, Douglas continued steadfast in his adherence of his country's cause, and resolutely opposed the atempts of the unworthy son of Robert Bruce to betray it to the enemy. On the accession of Robert II, the son of the Steward and Marjory Bruce, the Earl of Douglas unexpectedly put forth pretensions to the crown, but abandoned them on finding that they were not likely to meet with public support. As a reward for the promptitude of his submission, the King's eldest daughter was promised in marriage to his eldest son, and the Earl himself was appointed Justicular of Scotland south of the Forth, and Warden of the East Marches. This great noble, one of the best of his race, died in 1384 at an advance age. He was succeeded by his eldest son by his wife the Countess of Mar."

He was a nobleman of great accomplishments. He took part in a naval expedition against the Swedes in 1502 and at a tournament held in 1508 he was the champion archer on foot or horse in all of Scotland. In 1503, he was created Earl of Arran, the Gaelic-speaking island in the Forth of Clyde on which the family then made their home at Brodick Castle. Janet Beaton was his 2nd marriage. He was divorced from Elizabeth Home. He acceded 11 Aug 1503

Privy Councillor, Admiral of the Scottish Fleet 1513, Lord of Regency under the Duke of Albany 1517, commanded the Royal army against the Earl of Lennox Sep 1526. He is supposed to have married 1st 1490 and is believed to have divorced her subsequently in 1504 on the grounds that the Master, although believed to be dead, was actually alive at the critical time. (In fact, the Master had married in 1483 Elizabeth Borthwick, who was alive at the time of his death, so the grounds for the divorce appear suspicious, even though it was confirmed four years later) ~1422 - 1479 James Hamilton 57 57 Sir James Hamilton, 6th of Cadzow, 1st Lord Hamilton, so created by royal charter 28 June 1445; at first joined the Douglas revolt of 1455 against James II, later went over to the King's side and helped suppress it, Sheriff Lanarkshire 1 July 1455, had a new charter of all his lands and baronies 23 Oct 1455; married 1st (dispensation 2 Feb 1440/1) Lady Eupheme Graham (died by 1 Nov 1468), eldest daughter of Sir Patrick Graham, Countess of Strathearn in her own right, and widow of 5th Earl of Douglas, and had issue.  The 1st Lord Hamilton married 2nd c 25 April 1476 Princess Mary, eldest daughter of James II and previously wife of Thomas Boyd, Earl of Arran, and died 16 Nov 1479, having by her had issue.  [Burke's Peerage]

He succeeded his father prior to 14 May, 1392 when he witnessed a charter. He was superior of the lands of Balderston in Linlithgowshire, of which lands he granted a charter to Adam Forrester on 3 Mar,1395. In 1398, when returning from France with Sir John de Hamilton of Fingaltoun, and some other Scottish gentlemen, they were captured at sea by the English, and upon complaint made by the Scottish government to King Richard that they were captured in violation of the truce between Scotland and England the King issued an order, dated 28 Oct, 1398, for them to be liberated and the ship and goods restored or their value refunded. He was one of the Scottish commissioners appointed for receiving the oath of King Richard for the fulfillment of the truce with Scotland in the year 1399. Some time after, he was present on the border with the Duke of Albany, when he and the Duke of Lancaster, on the part of England, prolonged the truce between the two countries. ~1367 Jacoba Janet Douglas ~1300 - 1353 William Douglas 53 53 1st and last Earl of Atholl, so created 18 July 1341, though he resigned the title soon afterwards in favour of Robert Stewart of Liddesdale, grandson of Robert I of Scotland; acquired the feudal Lordship of Dalkeith from the Grahams, also the territorial Barony of Aberdour, Fife, and lands in Tweeddale, Liddesdale, Eskdale, and Ewesdale which had been forfeited by the Soulis's and Lovel's and which he entailed 1351 on his nephews (younger brother John's sons); known as the "Flower of Chivalry"; allegedly m? 1st?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lord of Liddesdale

" ... the Knight of Liddesdale, also known in history by the title of 'The Flower of Chivalry.' ... He was the lawful son of Sir James Doulgas of Loudon, and came into possession of the lands of Liddesdale through his marriage with Margaret, daughter of Sir John Graham of Abercorn. He took a distinguished part in the expulsion of Baliol and his English partisans from Scotland, after the young King David Bruce had taken refuge in France. He was unfortunately taken prisoner in 1332 in an encounter with an English force at Lochmaben, and was confined in iron fetters by the orders of Edward III himself. He was detained two years in captivity, and was released only on paying a large ransom.

"On his return to Scotland the Knight of Liddesdale exerted himself more energetically than ever to expel the English invaders and to vindicate the independence of his country. He took part in the conflict with the Earl of Athole at the Forest of Kilblane, in which that powerful but rapacious and unpatriotic noble was defeated and killed. He captured and demolished the Castles of Dunnotar, Kinclaven, and Laurieston, which had been garrisoned by the English. He encountered, near Crichton, the Lords Marchers of England, who had come to the relief of Edinburgh Castle, then besieged by the Regent, and drove them across the Tweed, but was himself severely wounded in the contest. He expelled the enemy from Teviotdale, captured Sir John Stirling at the head of five hundred men-at-arms, intercepted a convoy of provisions on its way to Hermitage, and succeeded in reducing that fortress; defeated Roland de Vaux, a celebrated warrior in the English interest, and in a fierce and repeatedly renewed engagement with Sir Lawrence Abernethy, a Scotsman who had espoused the cause of Edward Baliol, he succeeded at the fifth encounter in capturing that knight and dispersing his followers. In 1339 he was sent to solicit assistance from the French Court, and brought back with him from France five ships of war, having on board a body of men-at-arms under the command of an experienced French officer, who contributed largely to the reduction of Perth, at that time held by the English. Shortly after he succeeded, by a dexterous stratagem, in recoving the Castle of Edinburgh. He tarnished his laurels, however, and his reputation, but cruel murder of his friend and companion in arms, Sir Alexander Ramsay. Such was the weakness of the Government at this time, that King David was obliged not only to pardon the savage murderer, but to bestow upon him the office on account of which he had perpetrated the atrocious crime. The assassination of David de Berkeley shortly after, at the instigation of Douglas, is supposed to have been connected with a plot for the restoration of Baliol to the throne. It is certain that Edward at this time appointed commissioners with full powers 'to treat of and to conclude a treaty with William Douglas, to receive him into our faith, peace, and amity, and to secure him a reward; and that Douglas accepted the terms which they offfered. But, for some unknown cause, the conspiracy was laid aside for some time.

"The Knight of Liddesdale commanded the right wing of the Scottish army at the battle of Neville's Cross (17th October, 1346), and was taken prisoner along with his sovereign. He was induced to purchase his liberty at the expense of his loyalty and honour, and promised to transfer to the English monarch that allegience which he owed to his own sovereign. He bound himself by a secret treaty to allow the English to pass unmolested through his estates at all times and for all purposes; neigher openly nor secretly to give counsel or aid to his own country, or to any other nation, against the King of England; and to keep on foot a body of men for his service. In return for this treasonable compact he was liberated from prison, and received from Edward a grant of the territory of Liddesdale and the Castle of Hermitage, and some possessions in Annandale. But his treachery was discovered and his intrigues baffled by his kinsman, William, first Earl of Douglas, by whom, shortly after his return to Scotland, he was waylaid and slain while he was hunting in Ettrick Forest. Some contemprary writers ascribe this deed to revenge for the murder of Sir Alexander Ramsay and Sir David Berkeley, which, however, does not appear at all probable. Others affirm that it was owing to domestic jealousy, and Hume of Godscroft has preseved a single stanza of a ballad composed on the murder of Douglas which conveys this impression: --

'The Countess of Douglas out of her bower she came, And loudly then did she call: It is for the lord of Liddesdale That I let the tears down fall.'

It is probable, however, that the treachery of Douglas to his country, and his attempt to deprive his kinsman and chief of his patrimonial inheritance, led to his violent end."

The story of the Hamiltons is a story of bravery, romance, intrigue, stupidity, splendour, ambition, and yes, even treachery. It can be rightly claimed that the history of this great family is the history of Scotland.

The Hamiltons were the most important of the Lowland clans. At one time they aspired to the crown itself, as serious rivals to the Stuarts. Though they did not lead the same lifestyle as the Highland clans, their hereditary chiefship, network of cadet houses with dependents, and their distinctive tartan make it clear they were truly a Scottish Clan, with the sense of blood kniship and family loyalties which are inseparable from this concept.

Since early in the 14th century, the Hamilton family has played a prominent part in Scottish history. It was a Hamilton who fought alongside Robert the Bruce at Bannockburn; a Hamilton who was heir to the Scottish throne in the 16th century and who arranged the marriage between Mary Queen of Scots and the Dauphin of France; and it was a Hamilton that Hess tried to contact by parachuting into Scotland during World War II.

He probably succeeded his father before 1346. He was a faithful adherent to the interests of King David II and accompained him on all his excursions into the northern counties of England. At the battle of Durham, 17 Oct,1346, he was the King's Special Envoy and Attendent. He was captured by the English at the Battle of Neville's Cross (also called the Battle of Durham), in company with his namesake David II, son of Bruce. Like the King, Hamilton was not released until a heavy ransom had been paid. He was knighted prior to 1361. When the succession to the crown of Scotland was settled on John, Earl of Carrick, and his successors at Scone, Sir David appears as one of the Barons in the Parliament of Scotland on 27 Mar, 1371 and 4 apr 1373.

Granted the royal barony of Cadzow by David II, not known to have used the surname de Hamilton (or any other), fought at Halidon Hill and at Durham (where he was taken prisoner 1346), one of the Scottish magnates who arranged the settlement of the Crown on Robert III 1371. 1315 Margaret Ross Burke's Peerage has Margaret daughter of William 7th Earl of Ross, but I cannot make the dates work well.  Margaret would have to have been born around 1340 and Elizabeth Hamilton, Margaret's great granddaughter by grandson John Hamilton, married a Alexander Fraser by 1400 according to Burke.  Possible, maybe, but very tight with 15 year generations all the way.  Some internet sources have Margaret as daughter of Hugh, which is much more comfortable. 1273 - <1346 Walter Hamilton 73 73 Walter Fitz Gilbert, 1st of Cadzow; witness to a charter to Paisley Abbey 10 Jan 1294/5, named to the Homage Roll 28 Aug 1296, granted by Robert I The Bruce Dalserv 3 March 1314/5 and afterwards Cadzow, which became the chief lordship and seat of the Hamilton family, also Kinneil 28 July 1323.  [Burke's Peerage]

The first record of the family in Scotland was Sir Walter Fitz-Gilbert of Hameldone, an English knight that possessed properties in Renfrewshire. This first record is his name as a witness on a charter granted to the monastry of Paisley giving the privilege of a herring fishing in the Clyde. He was Governor of Bothwell castle for the English during the early part of thescottish War of Independence, but later joined Robert the Bruce and fought at his side at Bannockburn. For his support he was awarde forfeited Comyn lands by Bruce, including the properties of Cadzow in the Lothians that were in due course renamed Hamilton. It was here that he was to build Cadzow Castle and where eventually was to be built the magnificent Hamilton Palace - the grandest and most notable non-roal residence in all Scotland.

He was the first of the Hamiltons to settle in Scotland. He appears on 10 Jan, 1294, as one of the witnesses to a charter by James, High Steward of Scotland, to the monks of Paisley, granted at his manor of Blackhall in Renfrewshire. In the Homage Roll of 28 Aug, 1296, his name occurs among the lairds who swore fealty at Berwick. He remained an English partisan until the battle of Bannockburn, at which time he was captain of the garrison of Bothwell Castle. Soon afterwards he joined the party of Bruce, and King Robert bestowed on him the barony of Cadzow in Lanarkshire, also several other baronies and various other lands in Wigtownshire and Linlithgowshire. He was Justiciary of Lanark in 1321 and later he was knighted. At the battle of Halidon Hill he was present and fought in the High Steward's division.

He was featured on the Ragman Rolls in 1292 and 1296 as de Hamildon and de Homildon and elsewhere as de Hambleton.. He appears on the above charter as Walterus filius Gilberti, tenant in the royal barony of Cadzow, received grants of Dalserf (previously held by his stepmother) and later of the barony of Kinneil.

Where then did the name Hamilton come from? following Norman custom, each son took the Christian name of his father, with the word fitz added -- meaning son of. to that name was added the name of any land that they held. thus Alan fitz Walter, the son of Walter, was further described as de Hambelton, i.e. of Hambelton, a small estate that the two soldiers had owned in England. Gradually, the Hambeltons became the Hamiltons, and the name was transferred to the great borough that grew up under their protection. The Hamilton family prospered, though there are some who say that they were no fussier in how they prospered than how they first gained thier lands. They intermarried with every great family in Scotland including the royal Stewarts, until they were only a baby's breath away from the throne itself.  Today they are the premier dukes of Scotland. ~1294 Mary Gordon ~1379 - ~1443 David Dunbar 64 64 ~1386 Marjory Dunbar Probably daughter of Earl of Dunbar-does not say which, could be the 9th or 10th Earl. ~1398 Boyd 0440 Amalaberga De Saxony ~1378 Isabel Stewart Isabel, married 1st Sir William Oliphant of Aberdalgy and 2nd Sir David Murray of Tullibardine.  [Burke's Peerage] ~1362 John Drummond Sir John Drummond [2nd son, elder brother Malcolm murdered by Highland marauders under Alexander Stewart "Wolf of Badenock", who then married his wife Isabel Douglas, Countess of Mar], of Cargill and Stobhall, Perths; Justiciar of Scotland.  [Burke's Peerage] ~1315 - 1346 Malcolm Drummond 31 31 Sir Malcolm Drummond, of a family which allegedly migrated from Hungary to Scotland in the 11th century, acquired lands from the Earls of Menteith.  [Burke's Peerage] ~1399 - 1437 William Douglas 38 38 Ambassador to England 1430, Warden of Middle March; led the Scots to victory over the English at Piperden 10 Sept 1435.  [Burke's Peerage]

He died in 1437. ~1415 - <1482 Robert Boyd 67 67 Robert Boyd, 1st Lord Boyd, so created between 1451 and 18 July 1454; knighted c1451; a Regent for the infant James III 1460; took custody of James III 1466 and got an Act of Parliament passed making himself sole Governor of Scotland, also Great Chamberlain 1467; attainted (and his peerage forfeited) 1469 while away from court negotiating the transfer of Orkney to Scotland as a dowry for the King of Norway's daughter, whose marriage with James III he had arranged.  [Burke's Peerage]

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

Granted the title Lord Boyd prior to 13 July 1459 by James II, and was one of the commissioners sent to prolong the truce with England, which continued for nine years. In 1468 he was granted full power to visit the courts of England, Spain, France, Denmark, Burgundy, Savoy, and others to find a wife for King James III. A marriage treaty was concluded with King Christian I of Denmark, who agreed to give his daughter to James III, along with the islands of Orkney and Shetland as dowry.

Boyd was later accused of treason and fled to England under sentence of death.

Notes from Sally Walmsley [Geniedash@bigpond.com]:

Baron Boyd, Robert Boyd, son and heir of Thomas Boyd of Kilmarnock (who died 9 July 1439). He was knighted, and was created a Peer of Parliament (LORD BOYD [SCT]) by James II at some date between 1451 and 18 July 1454 when he took his seat, as such, in Parliament. In 1460 he was one of the REGENTS [SCT] during the King's minority. In 1464 he was one of the commissioners for a truce with Edward IV. Having obtained possession of the person of the young King (for which, as hereafter mentioned, he was eventually condemned for high treason), he was by Act of of Parliament 25 October 1466, made sole GOVERNOR OF THE REALM [SCT]: GREAT CHAMBERLAIN [SCT] 1467. Early in this year he procured the marriage of his eldest son Thomas, (created Earl of Arran [SCT] for that occasion) with Mary, elder sister of the King, which aroused the jealousy of the other nobles. He obtained the cession of Orkney to Scotland, 8 September 1468, from Christian, King of Norway, for whose daughter Margaret, he negotiated a marriage with the King. While absent for that purpose he and his said son (the Earl of Arran) and his brother (and coadjutor) Sir Alexander Boyd, were attainted for high treason, as stated above, whereby his Peerage became forfeited. He married Mariot (or Janet), daughter of Sir Robert Maxwell, of Calderwood. She died after 2 June 1472, apparently early in 1473. He was living Easter 1480/1, and died before 1482, it is said at Alnwick, where he fled in 1469. (taken from Gen-medieval UTZ@aol.com - 13/Mar/2000) ~1419 - >1472 Mariota Janet Maxwell 53 53 Burke's Peerage is not sure whether this person is named Janet or Mariota.  I have named her Mariota Janet to indicate the uncertainty. See below for an indication that there may have been two sisters, a Mariota and a Janet, that married different people--or the Mariota/Janet that married Robert, 1st Lord Boyd came from a later generation of Maxwell as indicated by Burke's (see discussion below about inconsistancies in Burke's lineage) and the Mariota/Janet of this generation married William Porteous.  I have portrayed two separate sisters in my ancestry, but welcome any further information on it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Burke's has a fairly major screw up with the ancestors of Mariota/Janet. In the Kilmarnock, Baron line which contains the Boyd lineage, the marriage of Robert, 1st Lord Boyd to Janet or Mariota Maxwell is given. Burke's states that Mariota/Janet's father is Robert Maxwell of Calderwood described in the Farnham, Baronet line.

Under the Farnham line where the Maxwell of Calderwood lineage is given, one would expect to find a Robert Maxwell of Calderwood with a daughter Mariota/Janet who married Robert, 1st Lord Boyd.  Not only one, but two different generations, one (Robert) the grandson of the other (John), supposedly had daughters that married the "1st Lord Boyd".

The "Robert" (grandson, who had an un-named daughter marrying 1st Lord Boyd) died in 1531 while his supposed daughter Mariota/Janet died by early 1473--58 years earlier?--not likely.  The grandfather (John), which names his daughter Mariota/Janet marrying 1st Lord Boyd, is the son of a marriage of 4 Dec 1450 and is dead by 1490--again born to a marriage and died way too late for Mariota/Janet and the wrong name (John-not Robert)! To compound matters, this "John" married Janet/Marion Boyd daughter of Thomas Boyd 5th Lord of Kilmarnock (who also happens to be father of Mariota/Janet's husband Robert, 1st Lord Boyd)-therefore having Mariota/Janet Maxwell marrying her mother's brother!

There is a Robert Maxwell of Calderwood, married 1402, grandfather of the "John" and great great grandfather of the "Robert", who seems to be perfect--but in a screwed-up lineage, who knows?  I have designated this Robert Maxwell of Calderwood as father of Mariota/Janet and discounted the other Robert and John.

My impression is that all of the mistakes are in the Farnham line--not in the Kilmarnock line.

Sandy Hotson, originally through a post-em and subsequently through e-mail, has information that a daughter of Robert de Maxwell married a William Porteous and subsequently "Hawkshaw", one of the estates owned by the Maxwell family, was passed on to the Porteous family.  I did some searching and found the following supporting information for that theory at a web site: www.applegate.co.uk/fam_his/381-415.htm.  The page is entitle "The Tweedie Archive, Tweedie/Tweedy Genealogy".

A History of Peeblesshire

J. W. Buchan and Rev. H. Paton. Published 1925-7.

HAWKSHAW, CARTERHOPE AND FINGLAND

These three hill farms lie north of Earlshaugh, and may be conveniently dealt with together, as, although they are now owned by different proprietors, they were one holding in early times. The Fingland and Hawkshaw burns flow direct into the Tweed opposite the lands of Glenbreck, but the Carterhope burn flows into the Water of Fruid, which joins the Tweed below the Hawkshaw burn.

The property, a £15 land of old extent, was apparently royal demesne until the time of King Robert the Bruce, who granted it to Sir David de Lindsay, Lord of Crawford, for his homage and service, and the services of two archers in the King's host. In this grant only the lands of 'Hawkeschaws' are referred to, but it is clear that at that time and later, Carterhope and Fingland were considered to be parts of Hawkshaw. Part of Hawkshaw was also known as Glengonvir or Glengonar...........

[there followed a discussion of the Lindsay and Crawford heritage, which I skip]

Turning back to deal with the grant of the lands to Sir John Maxwell of Pollok, which was confirmed in 1372, there is record of an indenture made at Dumbarton in the year 1400 between Sir John of Maxwell, Lord of Nether Pollok, and his son Robert, on the one side, and Sir John of Maxwell, the son and heir of the Lord of Nether Pollok, on the other side, according to which it was agreed that Robert and his heirs should have the 'Hawkschawland, Fynglen, and Carterhope in Twede muir' with certain lands in the sheriffdom of Lanark. Thereafter the lands continued to be held by a branch of the Maxwell family, and they were sub-feued to the family of Porteous, but when this took place there is no record. The result was that a third superiority was created - the Crown being the over-superior of the barony of Crawford Lindsay or Crawford Douglas, the successive proprietors of that barony being the superiors of the Maxwells, and the Maxwells and their successors being the superiors of the family of Porteous and their successors.

The chartularies of the barony do not go back beyond the beginning of the seventeenth century. In 1626 the holder of the third superiority was Edward Maxwell, son of Sir James Maxwell of Caldercross, and it is reasonable to infer from that entry that the Maxwell family had been in continuous possession since the grant confirmed in 1372. In 1635 Sir James Maxwell of Caldercross, Baronet, was the proprietor, and he transferred his right of superiority to Sir William Murray of Stanhope, Baronet, from whom it passed in 1696 to his son, Sir David Murray, and in 1738 to Sir David's son, Sir Alexander. In 1738 the owner of this superiority was James (Stewart), fifth Earl of Galloway, and his son Alexander, the sixth Earl, conveyed it in 1763 to William Loch, a writer in Edinburgh.

Dealing now with the right of property, this was held by the family of Porteous for almost three centuries. There was a 'tower' on the banks of Hawkshaw burn which is marked on Blaeu's map, and near it in ancient times was a chapel on the banks of Fruid Water, the remains of which were still visible in the eighteenth century, 'standing in a cemetery which was not then altogether forsaken.'

There was a WILLIAM PORTEOUS of Hawkshaw in 1439. In 1467 THOMAS PORTEOUS of Hawkshaw is referred to. He took action against Walter Tweedie of Drumelzier for some wrong which is not specified, and obtained a judgement in 1478 on behalf of himself and the widow and children of Herbert Porteous. On 27th October, 1479, the Lords of Council in Edinburgh ordained that:


'Jofra Litil and William Litill sall restore to Thomas Porteous of Halkschawis 18 score of scheip with yowis, price of the pece, 4s.; spulzeit, takin and withholdin be the said Jofra and William out of the landis of Halkschawis.'

[the article goes on to detail many other Porteous family members in subsequent centuries.  The above information supports Sandy Hotson's supposition that Janet (or maybe Mariota) married William Porteous.  I have indicated such a relationship in my ancestry.] ~1395 - ~1439 Isabel 44 44 ~1373 - 1448 Robert Maxwell 75 75 Sir Robert Maxwell, of Calderwood, Lanarkshire (2nd son of Sir John Maxwell of Pollok); entailed the family estates in concert with his [elder] brother Sir John Maxwell 18 Dec 1400.  [Burke's Peerage] ~1387 Elizabeth Denniston ~1360 Robert , Sir Denniston ~1301 Peter De Berkeley ~1517 - 1581 James Ross 64 64 ~1543 - 28 FEB 1591/1592 Jean Sempill Jean is not listed in Burke's Peerage.  Some have her name as Janet, and, if so, there is a Jonet who was daughter of the mistress Elizabeth Carlisle listed in Burke's Peerage. ~1491 - FEB 1555/1556 Ninian Ross ~1463 Aegida Somerville ~1505 - Bef 17 JAN 1575/1576 Robert Sempill 3rd Lord Sempill, Privy Council 1571; Governor and Constable of Douglas Castle 1533, Sheriff of Renfrew Jan 1543/4, Bailiff of Regality of Paisley 1544; captured by English at their victory over Scots of Pinkie 10 Sept 1547; stabbed to death 5th Lord Crichton of Sanquhar and imprisoned for it in Edinburgh Castle but his daughter Grizel's influence with the Archbishop of St Andrews, whose mistress she was, saved him from almost certain execution; supported Mary Queen of Scots, hence Sempill Castle captured by her opponents 1560; later supported James VI (and I of England), though remaining a Roman Catholic, and fought against Mary at Battle of Langside 1568; Jt Lt. of western ports 1568; Lt-Gen and Justiciar of Lanark and Renfrew 1572; married (1st?) by 7 April 1538 Isabel, daughter of William Hamilton of Sanquhar; allegedly married 2nd Elizabeth Carlile, perhaps an Englishwoman, had by her a son (John) and two daughters (Jonet & Dorothy); originally illegitimate but legitimated 24 Aug 1546.  [Burke's Peerage] ~1510 - Abt 3 MAR 1563/1564 Elizabeth Carlisle ~1498 Janet Stuart ~1460 - 1513 Matthew Stuart 53 53 Matthew Stuart, 11th Earl of Lennox; married 1st Margaret, daughter of Robert, Lord Lyle; married 2nd (contract 9 April 1494) Elizabeth, daughter of James, 1st Lord Hamilton, by Mary, sister of James III, and was killed at the Battle of Flodden 9 Sep 1513, having by her had [John, 12th Earl] with three daughters and a younger son (Mongo, one of three officers of the King of France's Scots Guards 1521/2).  [Burke's Peerage] ~1473 - >1531 Elizabeth Hamilton 58 58 Elizabeth, daughter of James, 1st Lord Hamilton, by Mary, sister of James III.  [Burke's Peerage] Anthony Armstrong- Jones ~1455 - 1513 John Ross 58 58 ~1473 Christian Edmonstone 1425 John Ross ~1398 - 1449 Alexander MacDonald 51 51 Alexander MacDonald, 10th Earl of Ross and Lord of the Isles, as both of which apparently recognised by James I on latter's release by English 1424; nevertheless ordered by James to attend a meeting with other Highland chiefs at Inverness 1427 and placed under virtual house arrest as a permanent "guest" of James at his court; later fled or was let go, gathered an army of men of the Isles and Ross and put Inverness and its environs to fire and the sword, but was defeated by James at Lochaber 23 June 1429; after pleading for mercy in penitential garb he was confined for a while in Tantallon Castle; recognised again as Earl of Ross by Jan 1435/6; Justiciar North of Forth 1438; married (as his 1st(?) of two wives(?)) Elizabeth Halyburton; probably of Dirletoun (died in or after Dec 1444).  [Burke's Peerage]

Note Burke's Peerage, page 328 (above text) does not mention Elizabeth Seton as a wife, although the question marks indicate doubt as to the number and order of wives.  Elizabeth Seton is mentioned on page 1480 as his wife.  Alexander had a son with Elizabeth Halyburton named John (b. c1435), 11th and last Earl of Ross and last Lord of the Isles, who does not appear to be the same son that I have for Alexander and Elizabeth Seton, which is John Ross of Halkhead.  Due to the fact that John of Halkhead was born c1425 (some say 1415), I would say Elizabeth Seton was 1st wife and Elizabeth Halyburton is 2nd, if at all. ~1408 Elizabeth Seton Click here for <a href="http://www.darkisle.com/h/huntly/huntly.html">Photo of Huntly Castle</a> (use browser back arrow to return) ~1370 - <1441 James Douglas 71 71 James (Sir), of Dalkeith, knighted between Sep 1390 and 18 Jan 1391/2; had a charter 24 March 1381/2 of the territorial Baronly of Morton in Nithdale with Mordlingtoun and Whittinghame and allegedly had conferred on him the new title of a Lord of Parliament as "Lord Dalkeith" though evidence for this is nugatory; married 1st between 24 March 1381/2 and 10 March 1387 Lady Elizabeth Stewart, daughter of John Stewart, Earl of Carrick, later Robert III.  [Burke's Peerage] ~1371 - 1411 Elizabeth Stewart 40 40 Lady Elizabeth Stewart, daughter of John Stewart, Earl of Carrick, later Robert III.  [Burke's Peerage] ~1456 Janet Colville Janet, daughter of Robert Colville of Hiltoun.  [Burke's Peerage] ~1400 Margery Catherine Hamilton ~1424 Margaret Seton All of the people of World Connect have this person's name as Marian.  However Burke's Peerage has Marian marrying John Ogilvy, who remarried in 1447, implying that Marian had died by then; thus (barring a divorce) Marian could not have married William Baillie.  Many World Connect people had the person that married John Ogilvy named Margaret (Burke's states that John's 2nd wife was a Margaret).  The daughter of the Seton-Baillie marriage is name Margaret; thus I am assuming that there is a name mixup and this person, who most name "Marian" is really "Margaret".  Of course Burke's could be wrong and the wife of John Ogilvy is named Margaret and this person is Marian--or Marian could have divorced (rather than dying) John Ogilvy before 1447 and married William Baillie.

---------------Dorothy Cuninghame Ancestry by Suzanne Doig, www.geocities.com-----------------

2. Sir William de Cunynghame of Kilmaurs, Earl of Carrick; married (1) Lady Eleanor Bruce (died 22 June 1368), daughter of Alexander, Earl of Carrick and Margaret Douglas; married (2) before 18 Apr 1369, Margaret. William died between Dec 1396 and Jul 1399.

William was Hugh's successor and was probably his son. He was created Earl of Carrick in 1361 by King David II Bruce, probably by virtue of marrying Lady Eleanor Bruce, cousin to the King. She ought not to have received the title as it was restricted to the male-line heirs of Edward Bruce, but exception was made for her. This title reverted to the Crown on the death of Lady Eleanor, in William's own lifetime. Some sources doubt the existence of Eleanor but do not explain how William could otherwise become earl.

Burke notes: "The charter in his favour is on record, and singularly incomplete, as if there had been a doubt as to the propriety of the grant:- 'David, D.G. Rex Scottorum, sciatus nos dedisse concessisse et hac presenti-carta confirmasse dilicto consanguineo nostro Willielmo de Cuninghame militi totum comitatum de Carryk.' ". The charter is not dated but was probably written at Aberdeen on 12 September 1361.

Edgar reigned 959-975. The first King of a united England. He allowed his Danish subjects to retain Danish laws. Edgar promoted a monastic revival and encouraged trade by reforming the currency. He improved defence by organising coastal naval patrols and a system for manning warships. Although he succeeded on 1 October 959, he was not crowned until 973 because St Dunstan, the Archbishop of Canterbury, disapproved of his way of life.
It is recorded that Edgar, while keeping his court at Chester, was rowed down the River Dee, the oars manned by eight kings of neighboring tributary states. The story, while probably untrue, sets forth his power not only over his own immediate subjects, but over the whole island. He had a well-trained army and a strong navy and his title shows that at least he lived on good terms with his neighbors. ~1402 Elizabeth ~1380 - ~1445 John Sempill 65 65 ~1360 John Sempill ~1465 - <1494 Margaret Lyle 29 29 ~1428 - <1495 John Stuart 67 67 John Stuart, 10th Earl of Lennox, created Earl of Darnley c1460, Lord Warden of West March 1481, one of the lords who seized James III 1482 but was pardoned; retoured heir to the Earldom of Lennox 1473 but only became so effectively after compensating the coheirs 1488; Jt Keeper Dumbarton Castle with his son 1488; rebelled but defeated by James IV 1489, though soon pardoned; married (indenture 15 May 1438) Margaret, daughter of 1st Lord Montgomerie, and died Sep 1495.  [Burke's Peerage]

William Wallace and Robert the Bruce visit Faslane

In the 13th century William Wallace stormed Rosneath castle on Gareloch which had been held by the English. He then went to stay in Faslane castle, which was the home of one of his supporters, Malcolm Earl of Lennox. The old account by blind Harry says:

"Than to Faslane the worthy Scot gan pass,
Quhar Elre Malcolm was bydand at defence,
Richt glad was he of Wallace gude presence."

Malcom later assisted Robert the Bruce, fought at Bannockburn and was one of the signatories of the Declaration of Arbroath. Robert the Bruce spent his latter days on the banks of the River Leven outside Dumbarton and it is likely that he would have visited Malcolm at Faslane castle which was only a short distance away.

The castle stood on the hillside to the North of Faslane Bay, overlooking where the Trident submarines are now based. It was on a mound near where two streams met. It had fallen into ruins by the 16th century. There is now very little sign of it. The site is very close to the new Garelochhead bypass which was built because of Trident.

Edward the Elder (899-924), king of the West Saxons. Though overshadowed by his father Alfred and upstaged by his son Athelstan, it was Edward who reconquered much of England from the Danes (909-919), permanently united Mercia with Wessex (918-919), established an administration for the kingdom of England, and secured the allegiance of the Danes, Scots, Britons, and English. Well educated and well trained by Alfred, he nevertheless had to oversome a rival for the throne (899-903).

Using Alfred's methods and in an alliance with Mercia, he spread English influence and control. The Danes of Northumbria were defeated (910) at Tettenhall, Staffordshire, the Viking kingdom of York acknowledged his power (918), and most Welsh kings submitted to him. In 921 the submission not only of Viking York and Northumbria but also of the kings of Strathclyde and the Scots gave his kingdom primacy in the British Isles. Edward was a patient planner and systematic organizer, as well as a bold soldier. By the time he died, he had completed the New Minster at Winchester, where he himself was buried. Though twice married, his eldest son and successor, Athelstan, was the son of a mistress.

[from Ancestry.com 139798.GED]

Edward I, "The Elder", "The Unconquered King", was born about 870 and died about 924. He reighed 24 years. He was not, like his father, a legislator or a scholar, although it is said that he founded the University of Cambridge, but he was a great warrior, He gradually extended his sway over the whole island, in which project he was assisted by his sister the "Lacy of Mercia" who headed her own troops and gained victories over both the Danes and Britons. Tradition assigns to Edward an even wider rule shortly before his death. In the middle of the ninth century the Picts and the Scots had been amalgamated under Kenneth MacAlpin, the King of the Scots, just as Mercia and Wessex were being welded together by the attacks of the Danes. It is said that in 925 the King of the Scots, together with other northern rulers, chose Edward "to father and lord". Probably this statement only covers some act of alliance formed by the English King wight the King of Scots and other lesser rulers. Nothing was more natural than that of the Scottish King, Constantine, should wish to obtain the support of Edward against his enemies; and it is natural that if Edward agreed to support him he would require some acknoweldgement of the superiority of the English King. After a prosperous reign, Edward died in Forndon, Northamptonshire in 925. ~0936 Aelips De Anjou ~1265 - 1306 John STRATHBOGIE 41 41 ~1225 Awley Fasselane ~0913 - 0987 Owain Ap Hywel 74 74 ~0893 - 0943 Elen Verch Llywarch 50 50 ~0780 Meurig Ap Dyfnwallon ~0918 Angharad Verch Llewyln ~0930 Aelfthryth De Wessex 1439 Eleanor De Sutton ~0984 - 1027 Cynan Ap Seisyll 43 43 ~0940 Prawst Verch Elise 0613 - 0658 Faelan MacCrundmael 45 45 0643 - 0713 Cu Chercca Macfaelan 70 70 ~0865 Rheingar ~0740 Matilda De Flint ~0960 Dunclina Mcalpin ~0930 Sigurd D. 0962 Aethelflaid De Wessex ~0948 Hilda ~0950 - 1003 Hermann II Von Werl 53 53 0989 - 1033 Mathilde Von Werl 44 44 0991 - 1012 Hermann III Von Werl 21 21 0993 - 1025 Beatrix Von Werl 32 32 ~0980 - 1047 Estrid Svendsdatter 67 67 ~1130 Alwyn Oge MacMurdac Lennox, Previous Creations: A shadow figure called Alwyn, possibly of Celtic origin, possibly of Saxon origin, possibly of both, may have become Earl of Lennox in the mid-12th century.  He is also referred to in near-contemporary sources as Mormaer of a territory called Leamhan, from which the Levenax or Lennox is derived.  Alwyn's son and grandson, respectively another Alwyn and Maldouen (cognate with Maldwyn), seem to have succeeded to the Earldom, the latter in about 1224.  In a list of the seven Earldoms of Scotland which is thought to have represented the old Mormaerships, by now evolved into medieval titles of honour, and which dates from 1237, that of Lennox features.  Yet it was missing from a somewhat later list, that of 1244, only to be reinstated in yet a third list, that of 1297.  At the time of the earliest of these three lists it was surrendered by Maldouen, the 3rd Earl, to Alexander II for regrant.  This was a common Scottish practice.  [Burke's Peerage, p. 2402] ~1034 - >1086 Ealdgyth De Mercia 52 52 ~1121 Udard Fraser Still looking for information and corrections.  Please contact me at: marlene.wenrick@utoledo.edu  ALL THE INFO I HAVE IS ON THE DATABASE.

Edmund  was murdered by an outlaw, Leolf, who stabbed him at a banquet to St. Augustine. Edmund expelled the Norse King Olaf from Northumbria in 944. He supported Dunstan in the introduction of the Monastic rule of St. Benedict.
The first of six Boy Kings, he reigned from 939-946. He had to meet a general uprising of the Danes of Mercia as well as those of the North. In the suppression of this he showed himself to be a great statesman as well as a great warrior. Little is definitely known about the policy of the Scots at this time but it appears that they joined the English whenever they were afraid of the Danes, and joined the Danes whenever they were afraid of the English. Edmund made it to be the interest of the Scottish King permanently to join the English. The southern part of the kingdom of Strathclyde had for sime time been under the English Kings. In 945 Edmund took the remainder, but gave it to Malcolm on condition that he should be his fellow worker by sea and land. The king of the Scots thus entered into a position of dependent alliance towards Edmund. A great step was thus taken; the dominant powers on the island were to be English and Scots, not English and Danes. Edmund thought it worth while to conciliate the Scottish Celts rather than to endeavor to conquer them. The result of Edmund's statemanship was soon seen but he did not live to gather its fruits. On 26 May 946 an outlaw named Lief, who had taken his seat at a banquet in his hall, slew him as Edmund was attempting to drag him out by his hair. He married Elgiva (Aelfgifu), known as the "Fairies Gift", who died in 944. 1241 Malcolm MacDuff John Baty ~1269 John Lennox D. >1534 Helen Baty ~1108 Jordan De Hesdin D. 0470 Ceretic MacCynlop ~1430 - ~1499 Robert Henderson 69 69 mainsource of information was the Hendersson of Fordell papers whichwere lodged by the family with the Scottish Record Office (referenceGD17172);The only USA referennce noted was a 1781 marriage contract betweenSir Robert Henderson of Fordelland &  Ann Loudenen Robertson, onlydaughter of James Robertson (Lieutenant General of HM Forces and Governorof New York)

The Henderson family had been in Fife since at least the late thirteenhundreds, and their family history is remarkably similiar to that of other families living in Fife. Fordell Castle near Dunfermline became the family home in the second half of the fifteenth century.Their first association with Fordell is in a Charter granted at Fordellon the 14th August 1465, and witnessed among others by "John Henrisoun of Fordale Sergeant of the said Barony."

James Henderson was the first owner of the barony after its consolidationin 1511. A barony is a Scottish land title and not a personal title. There had long been a close association between Scotland and France. James gained a Degree of Bachlor of Arts at the University of Parisin 1484(Law). The greater part of the Fordell lands had been fragmented among the descendants of Sir William de Airth from whom James "redeemed"them, and with his wife Elene or Helen Baty obtained a Crown Charteron May 1, 1511, uniting the whole into the Barony of Fordell with Fordell Castle as the home.

James was Lord Advocate from December 4, 1494 to 1507, when he became Lord Justice Clerk. He was a staunch supporter of the King of England. He was killed at the Battle of Flodden on September 9, 1513 along with his oldest son and King James IV.

In 568 Chipleric had Galswintha murderred, at the instigation of his concubine, which resulted in war (573) between Sigebert and Chilperic over Galswintha's marriage settlement, the lands of Bordeaus, Limoges, Quercy, Bearn and Bigorre. Following her husbands assassination, Brunhild was imprisoned at Rouen, but after a very short marriage to Merovech, son of Chilperic, she was allowed to go to Metz, the Austrasian capital, where her son Childebert II had been proclaimed king. There she was to assert herself against the Austrasian magnates for the next thirty years. After Childebert's death in 596, Brunhilda tried but failed to set herself up as a guardian over Childebert's son, Theodebert II, and then stirred up against him his brother Theodoric II, who was king of Burgundy. Theodoric overthrew his brother in 612, but died in 613. Brunhilda then tried to make Theodoric's son, Sigebert II, king of Austrasia. The Austrasian magnates, tired of her tyrannous regency, appealed to Chlotar, who had her tortured for three days, bound on a camel and exposed to the mockery of the army, and finally tied to the tail of a horse and dragged to death. ~0880 Llywelyn Ap Mervyn Jonet Unknown ~0919 - <0948 Rhain Ap Hywel 29 29 ~0923 - 0954 Edwin Ap Hywel 31 31 ~0883 - 0942 Idwal Foel 59 59 ~1129 - >1199 Oliver Fraser 70 70 This information follows the research of others and confirmations by census and family tree info.

Originally the Mayor of the Palace for King Childeric III. In 751 an assembly of nobles in Soissons elected him King of the Franks. In 754 Pope Stephan II crowned Pepin King of France at the abbey of St. Denis outside of Paris. He supported the Church and rescued the papacy from the Lombard Kings, giving the Pope central Italy in the Donation of Pepin in 756.

Pepin had much to do; the Saxons, Bavarians and Arabs were all menacing or revolting, and he had to rush from one part of the kingdom to the other, defending its frontiers and getting no help from the "stupid sluggard king" at Paris. At last, impatient of the farce, he sent this question to the Pope: "Who is King, he who governs, or he who wears the crown?". "He who governs, of course", answered the Pope. "That is myself", said the little man with a great will, and he sent Childeric III, the last of the Merovingians, into a monastery. Pepin did not forget that he owed a debt of gratitude to the Pope for the answer he had given to his question, and when, shortly afterwards, the Pope sent to complain of the trouble occasioned by the Lombards, Pepin crossed the Alps, punished the Lombards, took from them all the territory about Rome and gave it to the Pope "to belong to him and to the bishops of Rome forever". That was the beginning of the Papal sovereignty. The States of the Church, as they were called, remained under the sovereignty of the Popes until 1871.

Pepin III, byname PEPIN THE SHORT, French PÉPIN LE BREF, German PIPPIN DER KURZE (b. c. 714--d. Sept. 24, 768, Saint-Denis, Neustria [now in France]), the first king of the Frankish Carolingian dynasty and the father of Charlemagne. A son of Charles Martel, Pepin became sole de facto ruler of the Franks in 747 and then, on the deposition of Childeric III in 751, king of the Franks. He was the first Frankish king to be anointed--first by St. Boniface and later (754) by Pope Stephen II.

Background and kingship.
For years the Merovingian kings had been unable to prevent power from slipping from their hands into those of the counts and other magnates. The kings were gradually eclipsed by the mayors of the palace, whose status developed from that of officer of the household to regent or viceroy. Among the mayors, a rich family descended from Pepin of Landen (Pepin I) held a position of especial importance. When Charles Martel, the scion of that family, died in 741, he left two sons: the elder, Carloman, mayor of Austrasia, Alemannia, and Thuringia, and Pepin III, mayor of Neustria, Burgundy, and Provence. No king had ruled over all the Franks since 737, but to maintain the fiction of Merovingian sovereignty, the two mayors gave the crown to Childeric III in 743. (see also Index: Merovingian dynasty)
Charles had had a third son, however-- Grifo, who had been born to him by a Bavarian woman of high rank, probably his mistress. In 741, when his two brothers were declared mayors of the Franks, Grifo rebelled. He led a number of revolts in subsequent years and was several times imprisoned. In 753 he was killed amid the Alpine passes on his way to join the Lombards, at this time enemies of the Franks as well as of the papacy.

Numerous other rebellions broke out. In 742 men of the Aquitaine and Alemannia were in revolt; in 743 Odilo, duke of Bavaria, led his men into battle; in 744 the Saxons rebelled, in 745 Aquitaine, and in 746 Alemannia, both the latter for the second time.

In 747, when Carloman decided to enter monastic life at Rome, a step he had been considering for years, Pepin became sole ruler of the Franks. But Pepin was ambitious to govern his people as king, not merely as mayor. Like his father, he had courage and resolution; unlike his father, he had a strong desire to unite the papacy with the Frankish realm. In 750 he sent two envoys to Pope Zacharias with a letter asking: "Is it wise to have kings who hold no power of control?" The pope answered: "It is better to have a king able to govern. By apostolic authority I bid that you be crowned King of the Franks." Childeric III was deposed and sent to a monastery, and Pepin was anointed as king at Soissons in November 751 by Archbishop Boniface and other prelates.


Pepin and Pope Stephen II.
The pope was in need of aid. Aistulf, king of the Lombards, had seized Ravenna with its lands, known as the exarchate. Soon, Lombard troops marched south, surrounded Rome, and prepared to lay siege to its walls. So matters stood when in 752 Zacharias died and Stephen II became pope. In November 753 Pope Stephen made his way over the stormy mountain passes to Frankish territory. He remained in France until the summer of 754, staying at the abbey of Saint-Denis, Paris. There he himself anointed Pepin and his sons, Charles and Carloman, as king and heirs of the crown. (see also Index: Italy)
The pope returned to Italy accompanied by Pepin and his army. A fierce battle was fought in the Alps against Aistulf and the Lombards. The Lombard king fled back to his capital, Pavia; Pepin and his men plundered the land around Pavia until Aistulf promised to restore to papal possession Ravenna and all the Roman properties claimed by the pope.

Aistulf broke his word. Again and again Pope Stephen wrote to Pepin of his difficulties. In 756 the Frankish king once more entered Italy. Aistulf was once more constrained to make promises, but the same year he died--of a fall from his horse--and in April 757 a new king, Desiderius, became ruler of the Lombards. That year Stephen II also died, and Paul I was elected pope. He, too, constantly wrote to Pepin asking for help.

But the King of the Franks had other concerns. He had to put down revolts in Saxony in 748 and 753 and a rising in Bavaria in 749. He was continually marching against rebellious Aquitaine. In 768 Pepin died at Saint-Denis, on his way back from one of his Aquitainian expeditions.

Pepin is remembered not only as the first of the Carolingians but also as a strong supporter of the Roman Church. The papal claims to territory in Italy originated with Pepin's campaigns against Aistulf and the latter's pledge to return the Roman territories. His letters also show him calling for archbishoprics in Frankish territory, promoting synods of clergy and layfolk, and as deeply interested in theology.
