The material below is taken from Histoire de Louiseville, November 1965. A book written by Germain Lasage, O.M.I. The material was sent to Br. Raymond Dufresne by Cecile de LaMirande of Montreal. The translation is by Br. Raymond Dufresne, C.S.C.
A Noble (Pierre Dulignon de la Mirande)
Besides the founder of Louiseville, Charles du Jay, Lord of Manereuil, we find in its (Louiseville's) history only one family possessing a title of nobility. It is that of Dulignon-Chevalier-Lamirande.
The Canadian ancestor is Pierre Dulignon, knight, coming from "de la Mirande," near La Rochefoucauld in the Diocese of Angoulême.
Pierre is the eldest of a Protestant family annobled by King Henry IV. Pierre's grandfather was Jacques Dulignon and his grandmother was Catherine Croys. In about 1654, Pierre's father Theodore married Marthe Pacquet, daughter of Denis Pacquet, squire, Lord of Lagebâton, and Marie Marignier. The three sons of Theodore and Marthe were Pierre, baptized 20 January 1655, Jean, baptized 16 June 1657, and Theodore, baptized 26 February 1660. All three were baptized in the Protestant temple of La Rochefoucauld.
Pierre Dulignon, a Sargent in the company of Joseph de Jardy, Lord of Cabanac, probably arrived in New France with his lieutenant and a recruit of five hundred men. They left from La Rochelle in June 1685. Joseph (Jordy) de Cabanac and his nephew, François, were on the ship La Diligente with the officers, the Governor of Denoville and Bishop of Saint-Vallier. The enlisted soldiers were on the ships Le Fourgon and Le Mulet. Pierre Dulignon, because of his nobility, was probably on the first ship. They arrived at Québec during the month of July.
Pierre had come to join his younger brother, Jean, who had come to the country on 9 October 1670 and who had married Marie Testard of Folleville, daughter of Charles and Anne La Marque, in Montréal.
The soldiers of Pierre de la Mirand's contingent wintered fin the towns and seigneuries along the St. Lawrence. In the following year they began the Iroquois War which lasted for years. Beginning in 1689, the De Jordys and their troups fought against the English. In 1690, they were defending Québec against Phipps. In 1691 and 1692, François de Jordy participated in some battles against the Iroquois. …
At the end of the Iroquois War, the knight Pierre Dulignon, Lord of La Mirande, settled at La Rivière-du-Loup. On 10 December 1700, he obtained from Seigneur Jean Lachasseur the former land of Joachim Germane located between the two rivers to the north of the commune.
On 27 July 1703, l'abbé Léonard Chaigneau, Sulpician, wrote the marriage contract of Pierre Dulignon with Marguerite de Gerlais, daughter of Jean de Gerlais, dit Saint-Amand, one of the first founders of the seigneurie. The marriage took place at the same time at Rivière-du-Loup.
Since Jean, his brother, had only one son who had the same name and who had no male descendants, it is from Pierre that all the Dulignons and Lamirandes of America and also the Chevaliers of the region of Louiseville have their heritage. At this same period there is another family Chevalier in the Montreal area
The father was 74 years old at the birth of the last son. Pierre Dulignon died six years later. [this would leave Jean Baptiste, Francois, and Gabriel home and under age 12] In the parish register of Rivière-du-Loup we read: "On the 24th day of February of the year 1736 was buried in the cemetery of this parish by M. Cardin, missionary priest of Nicolet the body of Pierre du Lignon, Lord of la Mirande, about 80 years of age. Witnesses were Jean-François de Gerlais, St-Amand, etc." Signed by C. Pocqueleau, missionary priest.
At the time of this writing (1965) Pierre Dulignon has 11 generations of descendants. Nearly all the old families of Masinongé can trace to him some of their branches.

A resident of Saints-Anges at Lachine, was at first a precentor and
schoolmaster, at a salary of 50 livres a year. He apparently
gave up these poorly paid activities towards the end of 1686,
at the time when he begain to recieve notarial acts by virtue
of a commission granted him by the seigneurs of Montreal. On 23
May 1690 he was appointed deputy to the fiscal attorney in the
bailiff's court in Montreal, an office he that he held until
the middle of 1693. Meanwhile, on 15 Mar 1693, he had obtained
letters confirming his appointment as royal notary in the
government of Montreal; but judging by his minute book,
possibly incomplete, his clientele did not increase in
consequence. Since 14 Jun 1688 he had been a married man, and
he had a family to support. On 5 October 1695, therefore, he
had to rent a 60 acre settler's farm at Lachine.
An opportunity presented itself in 1701; the intendant
invited him to replace the old notary Severin AMEAU, at
Trois-Rivieres, for a few months at least. Pottier decided to
establish himself there. In this small town he was able to hold
the offices of clerk of court, jailer, and norary at one and
the same time; in addition, on 17 Oct 1702 he became royal
sargeant at law (process server.) with jurisdiction for the
whole of New France. Pottier who had a fairly large family on
his hands, was perhaps little better off; in any case, on 1 May
1711 Intendanre Begon added to his titles that includes that of
sworn surveyor.
Notaries are said to be peaceable people;Pottier had
rather agressiveness of the process-server jailer. He got into
trouble a few times: on 5 May 1693 Pierre Remy, the parish
priest of Lachine, brought and action suite against him fro
insults and threats to use force; worse still in 1707, Pottier
used physcial violence against a woman named Carpentier from
Champlain and was sentenced to pay damages and legal costs. The
amusing thing was that Pottier had been attacked by Etienne
Pexard in 1704 and had been so roughly handled that La Tpusch
had been ablidged to pay him compensation and damages to the
extent of 200 livres.
Pottier dies in 1711 at Trois Rivieres. His widow
Etinnette Beauvais, who is said to have been restored to health
in 1704 through the intercession of Brother Didace Pelletier,
lived until 1753. 1669 Marie Etienette Beauvais 1672 - 1751 Denis Foucault 79 79 1672 - 1743 Catherine Dit Antaya Pelletier 71 71 1666 - 1742 Jean Baptiste Sicard 76 76 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Sieur De Carufel
Having embarked on his military career at an early age,  Jean Sicard was only 19 when he went into the services of Francois-Marie Renaud d'Avesne des Meloizes, a Captain in the regular French forces.  The Company was recruited by the new Governor General of Canada, Brisay de Denonville. The small army embarked at La Rochelle on board tiny, filthy vessels and crossed the Atlantic in indescribable conditions.  Scurvy and typhoid took sixty victims while at sea and upon their arrival in Quebec on August 1, 1685, 80 more were hospitalized.  Denonville allowed only a few weeks of recovery before departing for Ft. Frontenec oin a reconnaissance expedition.
By June 1687 the Governor of new France, Jacques-Rene de Brisay, Marquis de Denonville, was prepared to strike a blow against the old enemies of New France. Denonville gathered troops and Indian allies in Canada and marched against the Iroquois of Western New York.
Governor Denonville spent the summer of 1687 engaged in an impressive, if futile, campaign against Seneca villages in the Genessee Valley near the site of modern Rochester, New York. Houses and crops were destroyed , but few warriors were captured or killed. To complete his attempt to pacify the Iroquois, Denonville moved his army to the mouth of the Niagara River. There he established a fort. Within a few weeks a stockade enclosing eight buildings had been erected and christened Fort Denonville. Then, leaving one hundred men, including Jean Sicard under Captain Pierre de Troyes to hold the post for the winter, the Governor and his army returned to Montreal.
Fort Denonville, the first truly military outpost on the Niagara River, was sturdily constructed. Its palisades, however, provided little protection against the most sinister enemies: isolation, cold, starvation and disease. Cut off from supplies and reinforcements and surrounded by hostile Senecas, the garrison sickened and died. By April only twelve soldiers, including Jean Sicard, remained alive.
Those few men were saved by a relief force which arrived in the Niagara River on Good Friday, 1688. The horrified reinforcements did what they could for the emaciated survivors. Their chaplain, Jesuit Father Pierre Millet, erected a tall wooden cross in the center of Denonville’s fort and offered a mass of thanksgiving for their survival.
Fort Denonville was regarrisoned, but the lesson had been learned. The post was too far from the center of New France to be maintained in the face of Iroquois hostility. In September the troops pulled down the stockade and left the buildings to the elements. It would be thirty-eight years before French soldiers again occupied the site. 1678 - 1754 Genevieve Rate 76 76 ~1632 - 1699 Jacques Rate 67 67 [blended.FTW]

Hugh CAPET, French HUGUES CAPET (b. c. 938--d. Oct. 14, 996, Paris), first of a direct line of 14 Capetian kings of France; his control over vast estates in the regions of Paris and Orléans assured his election to the throne in 987 by the assembly of Frankish magnates.
Inheriting the title duke of the Franks from his father, Hugh the Great, in 956, Hugh Capet unsuccessfully tried to control Aquitaine in 970. From 978 to 986 he was allied with the German emperors Otto II and Otto III, and with Adalbero, archbishop of Reims, in political intrigues against the Carolingian king Lothair. By 985 Hugh was actually the ruler in all but title; and, after the brief reign of Lothair's son, Louis V (986-987), he was elected king in May 987. Adalbero was able to convince the Frankish magnates that the crown was elective rather than hereditary and that Charles of Lorraine, the only legitimate Carolingian contender, was unfit to rule. Hugh was crowned at Noyon on July 5, 987. Scholars are generally agreed that Hugh's election was not a revolutionary action. His grandfather Robert I, his great-uncle Eudes, and his uncle Rudolf (Raoul) had all earlier been non-Carolingian kings.
Hugh's reign was marked by the unavailing efforts of Charles of Lorraine (imprisoned 991) to assert himself and by continual conflict between Eudes I, count of Blois, and Fulk Nerra of Anjou, whom Hugh later supported. In 993 Eudes was aided by the Bishop of Laon in an unsuccessful conspiracy to deliver Hugh and his son Robert over to Otto III. That no one was punished for the incident indicated the weakness of the new Capetian dynasty. Hugh's crown was probably preserved by the inability of his enemies to coordinate their activities against him. He assured the succession to his son, Robert II, by having him crowned on Christmas day, 987. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97]
----------
For nearly nine centuries, the kings of France and many of the rulers of the most powerful fiefs in that country belonged to the family of Capet, and it mingled naturally with several of the other royal races of Europe. The original significance of the name remains in dispute, but the first of the family to whom it was applied was Hugh, who was elected King of the Franks in 987. The house of Capet continued to rule in France from 987 to 1328. The real founder of the house, however, was Robert the Strong, who received from Charles the Bald, King of the Franks, the courtships of Anjou and Blois, and who is sometimes called Duke, and he exercised some military authority in the district between the Seine and the Loire. According to Aimoin of Saint Germain-de-Pres, and the chronicler, Richer, he was a Saxon, but historians question this statement. [Mrs (Oscar Herbert) Elizabeth M.

younger son of Robert the Strong of Neustria, and briefly king of France (922-923), or West Francia. His decisive victory over the Northmen at Chartres (911) led to a treaty settling one group of these fierce warriors in Normandy.
Robert faithfully served his older brother, King Eudes, during Eudes's reign (888-898). Though on Eudes's death he became one of the most powerful Frankish lords, inheriting all the family lands between the Seine and the Loire rivers, he swore fealty with other magnates to the new king, the Carolingian Charles III the Simple. Nevertheless, he was already served in his domains by viscounts, officials usually regarded as instruments of regal power. From 911 onward, his role became more decisive: his defeat of the Northmen at Chartres paved the way for the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte, by which Charles assigned them territory in Normandy.
Robert's military success greatly enhanced his prestige, and dissension between him and the King became undisguised. When Charles III imprudently offered preferment exclusively to lords from Lorraine, the Neustrian lords, led by Robert, broke into open revolt. About 921, Robert, supported by many of the clergy and by some of the most powerful Frankish nobles, took up arms, drove Charles into Lorraine, and was himself crowned king of the Franks at Reims on June 29, 922. Collecting an army, Charles marched against the usurper, and on June 15, 923, in a stubborn and sanguinary battle near Soissons, Robert was killed, according to one tradition, in single combat with his rival. Robert left a son, Hugh the Great, duke of the Franks, and his grandson was Hugh Capet, king of France. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97]

The surname or title de Vermandois originated from Vermand, a county named from its capital in Picardy, now Department Aisne in northeastern France, seat of the Veromandui of Roman times. The house of Vermandois is one of the most ancient and famous of the early French noble houses, and is descended in direct male line from the Emperor Charlemagne. The records of the counts go back to Herbert, grandson of Bernard of Italy. From 1045 to 1083, the counts possessed also the Valois. In 1102, Raoul de Vermandois was the reigning count. Hugh the Great, Earl of Vermandois, was one of the leaders of the First Crusade and died at Tarsus in Cilicia in 1102.

Some authors say Bodgeisel I, brother of Gondolfus, is the father. There is no proof, one way or the other, but the weight of evidence points to Gondofus. Bodegeisel II appears to have been Governor of Aquitaine and was murdered at Carthage returning from an embassy at Constantinople in 588. [Roderick W.

A Frankish noble, Arnulf gave distinguished service at the Austrasian court under Theudebert II (595-612). In 613, however, with Pepin, he led the aristocratic opposition to Brunhild that led to her downfall and to the reunification of Frankish lands under Chlotar II. About the same year, he became bishop.
From 623, again with Pepin, now mayor of the Austrasian palace, Arnulf was adviser to Dagobert I, before retiring (629?) to become a hermit. Arnulf's son Ansegisel married Pepin's daughter Begga; the son of this marriage, Pepin II, was Charlemagne's great-grandfather. ~1024 - 1077 Agnes Of Poitou 53 53 0758 Countess Of Vinzgau Hildegarde UNKNOWN Gundrada Still Living.

Nicolas Pelletier, the first Pelletier known to emigrate from France to New France, is born about 1590.
In 1632, Nicolas marries Jeanne de Voissy (de Vouzy) (de Roussy), age 18, at Saint-Pierre Church in Gallardon (Galardon). Gallardon is located in the Beauce region of France, southwest of Paris between Chartres and the forest of Orléans
Two of Nicolas' children, Jean (1633) and François (1635) are born in Gallardon. Nicolas and his family leave France in the Spring of 1636 and arrive in New France, at Québec City, on June 11 of the same year. Arriving on the same ship is Charles Huault-de-Montmagny, the new governor general of New France, succeeding Champlain.
Nicolas is a carpenter-woodworker, and among the Québec City buildings he is known to have worked on are Louis Hébert's house, the first private home to be built outside the Québec fortification, the frame of Notre-Dame Church's steeple, and the roof of the Chateau Saint-Louis.
Six other children are born in New France, five girls, Marie (1637), Louise (1640), Françoise (1642), Jeanne (1644), Geneviève (1646), and another son, Nicolas(1649).
In 1649, Nicoals is granted land outside Québec City, to the southwest, adjacent to St-François-Xavier Fort, near Cap Rouge, along the St-Lawrence River. In 1650, his family is attacked by 2 Iroquois indians, but Nicolas successfully defends his family and the homestead against the intruders.
In 1669, Nicolas rents out a large portion of his property to his son Jean for five years , and in 1670, he joins his son François, who now is known as Pelletier-dit-Ontaya (or Anthaïa, later Antaya), and his family in Saurel (Sorel). In 1677, at the latest, Nicolas and his son acquire property across the St-Lawrence River at Dautray (Seignneurie d'Autray), near what is now Berthierville.
It is here that Nicolas apparently dies in 1679, the exact date is unknown. His wife, Jeanne, dies at Sorel on December 12, 1689.

From: Dictionnaire Biographique du Canada
In civil records Lemire is named as preparing an estimate for the building of
the presbytery in Quebec in Nov. 1664; as preparing a report along with Paul
Chalifour-both are called "carpenters"(charpentiers)-on a house at Coulonge on
5 April 1664; and on 21 June 1664, as delivering it.  The most important
notice of him, however, is as a carpenter working on the enlargement program
for the cathedral of Quebec undertaken in 1684.  A contract for the work was
signed by him 4 Jan 1684, and he is credited with constructing "out of oak
from Batiscan" a "clocher" on the south tower of the cathedral, under the
direction of Claude Baillif.  Since he died soon after beginning work on the
cathedral, it is to be presumed that Lemire constructed the "clocher" on the
ground for later installation; perhaps it was finished after his death, by one
of his many sons.

Wilhelm Sommer lived in Ihringen, Germany until he was 18 years old and soon to be subjected to the compulsory military conscription.  Partly because of this and partly because three of his older sisters had already emigrated to the U.S., he decided to emigrate also.  He settled in New York City in 1876 where his sister Katharina (Kubler) lived.  Four year later, Magdalena Moessner from Ihringen followed him to New York City. she arrived on December 1, 1880 and a year and a half later they were married. At the time they had been living several blocks apart in the "lower east side" district of Manhattan, Wilhelm at 57 Columbia Street and Lena at 178 Suffolk St.  They were married at St. Marks Episcopal Church.
Eight months after they were married, the left for Olympia, Washington, encouraged by Wilhelm's two sisters-Anna rosin and Rose Hildebrandt. They left March 11, 1883 and stopped in Decatur, IL to visit Lena's brother Fred and sister Mary, and arrived in Olympia, Washington territory on April 5, 1883.  The trip to California was on an immigrant train, so-called because all of their belongings were with them on the same train.  After arriving in San Francisco, they transferred to a steamer which took them to Olympia.
According to early Olympia directories, the family of Wilhem Sommer-a carpenter working for Spring and White Company-lived on the north side of 13th Street, the second house east of Jefferson.  Later Wilhelm built a house nearby.  Besides being a carpenter, he tried his hand at running a saloon.  It was not a success and he returned to carpentering.  in 1894, the family moved to South Tacoma.  Until 1900 they rented a house at 5423 South Cedar. In 1900, they paid $750 for a house at 5822 Union which had been the parsonage for the Asbury Methodist Church.  The house remained in the family until 1933.  Wilhelm continued as a carpenter and for a while worked for the Washington Manufacturing Company which was owned by August Von Baecklin from Waldkirch, Baden, Germany, a town just 20 miles from Ihringen.  He worked on the construction of the original Horace Nann School and later as maintenance man of the ship "Kingston" which was famous for its travels between Puget Sound and Alaska.  Finally he worked in the northern Pacific Railroad shops doing intricate woodwork for the passenger cars.  He was especially adept at inlay work and did much of it at home for his children.
At home he maintained a garden and fruit trees and cut every winter's supply of firewood.  The family retained most of the German traditions like speech, although they mixed German and English.  They ate sauerkraut nearly every day of the year, had homemade beer, and enjoyed singing. Whenever friends or relatives got together, they sang and played cards.
William was a rather small man with a large bushy mustache and his wife was even smaller.

According to several deeds and other documents, Pierre Miville was known as "Le Suisse" (The Swiss). A concession contract awarded by Tracy in 1665 clearly identifies Pierre Miville as being Swiss. He emigratedf to France and lived in the region of LaRochelle from where he sailed to Nouvelle-France France in the middle of XVIIth century. His children were all baptized in the Brouage region and their father's Swiss origin is clearly stated in certain deeds. for instance:
This second day of May 1639, in the church of St-Hilaire d'Heirs, was baptised Jacques, son of Pierre Pierre Miville, of Swiss origin, and of Charlotte Mougis, his wife residing in the town of Brouage. Jacques is the godson of Issac Miville and Salome Lomene.
None as yet has been able to determine Pierre Miville's birthday. He is certainly from the township if not from the city Fribourg, since he is identified as "Suisse fribourgois" in the 1665 contract. Born around 1602, according to enumerations. Pierre Miville's date and place of marriage are still unknown. Jette says "arround 1631" in Brouage, assumption probably founded on Marie Mivlle's birthday, i.e. 1635 ~1610 - 1676 Charlotte Maugis 66 66 1640 - 1706 Antoine Trottier Des Ruisseaux 66 66 Johannes Jakob Schillinger Still Living.

Grimoald succeeded his father Pepin I as Mayor of the Palace, and he allowed the boy king Sigebert III to rule on his own. In 640, this proved to be a bad idea when Sigebert failed to stop a Thuringian revolt. In 656, when Sigebert died, Dagobert II his son became king, although Grimoald had him sent off to be a monk in Ireland and installed his own son Childebert, who conviently had a Merovingian name. The installation was not at all accepted, and that year Grimoald and his son were executed on the order of the Neustrian/Burgundian King Clovis II.

When Chlotar died in 629, Dagobert became sole King of the Franks, and he moved his capital from Austrasia to Paris. Later, Dagobert left the council of Pepin for a more flexible Neustrian Mayor of the Palace. In 632, he was forced to put his three-year old son Sigebert on the throne of Austrasia as the nobles were in revolt, however Pepin was not made his Mayor of the Palace. The Neustrian nobles then wished to unite with Burgundy, and so they urged Dagobert to put his son Clovis II as king of both those kingdoms, although he was only 5 years old and could be easily manipulated by the nobles. When Dagobert died in 639, the nobles of the kingdoms controlled both his sons, now puppet kings.

King of the Salian Franks 456-481
Childeric succeeded his semi-legendary father Merovech as king of the Salian Franks of northern Gaul in 456, during Roman times. He became infatuated with the daughters of his subjects, who were so incensed about this that they forced him to give up the throne. He discovered that they intended to assassinate him, and he fled to Thuringia, leaving a close friend and telling him to send him a message when Childeric could return to his kingdom.
Childeric took refuge with Bisinus, King of the Thuringian Franks, and his wife Basina. The king elected by the Franks was cruel, and soon after Childeric was re-called to his kingdom by his friend, and was restored to the throne. Once Bisinus and Childeric were both kings, Basina deserted her husband and went to live with Childeric, who married her and had a son Clovis.
After a battle with Odoacer, King of the Saxons (and conquerer of the Western Roman Empire, 476), at Orleans, Childeric and the Saxon king made a peace treaty and together subdued the Alamanni, who had invaded a part of Italy. In 481 Childeric died and was succeeded by Clovis, his son by Basina.

King of the Salian Franks 426-447
Semi-legendary King of the Salian Franks and father of Merovech, founder of the Merovingian Dynasty. Called ", the Long Hair" or ", the Hairy" because of the length of his hair. From then on the Merovingians were called the "Long Haired Kings" and the cutting of a king's hair represented his loss of royal power.
According to legend his father was Pharamond (r.409-426), the first King of the Salian Franks after the departure of the Romans from Gaul. In history, Clodio was probably real. He lived in Thuringian territory, and ruled at the same time as the semi-legendary kings Theudemer and Richemer. All that is known of his reign is that he took the town of Cambrai from the Romans. He was succeeded by his semi-legendary son Merovech. (Unlike Merovech and Clodio, Childeric I, Merovech's son, was very real and cannot be considered fictional.)

In 488 Theodoric, while allied with Zeno, invaded Italy (at the time under the Germanic king Odoacer), which was taken in three battles. Odoacer surrendered in 493, and was slain by Theodoric.

After succeeding to the throne of his dead father King Euric, Alaric II proved to be a weak king. In 486 he surrendered to Clovis I, King of the Franks, Syagrius, the last Roman general in Gaul. As Alaric was an Arian, Clovis had justification for making war. In 507, he and King Gundobad of the Burgundians attacked and defeated him. As a result, Clovis gained all of Aquitaine, reducing the land of the Visigoths to Spain. He was succeeded by his young son Amalaric, and Theodoric the Great, King of the Ostrogoths, was the one who ruled the kingdom in reality until 526.

[mergebase.FTW]
Galla Placida married the Master of the Soldiers Constantius (who ruled briefly as co-Emperor with Honorius, Galla's brother) when he was at the height of his career, and their son Valentinian III reigned in the West. When the Visigoths under King Alaric I sacked Rome in 410, they carried off Galla with them as hostage. She was of course returned, and later went on to rule the empire when her son was very young with the formal title of "piissima et perpetua Augusta mater" which translates to "most pius and eternal Empress."
---------------------------
A visit to the mausoleum of Galla Placidia in Ravenna is quite enough in itself to inspire one with a desire to know more of this remarkable woman. Daughter to Theodosius the Great, and half-sister to Honorius, the Emperor under whom Britain was finally lost to Rome, she lived to see the great empire of the known world become the battleground of marauding barbarians, and the court that had ruled that empire sheltering disconsolently in the last territory it could call its own---Ravenna, an island of security surrounded by a waste of marshland and the sea.
She first storms onto the stage of history in 408 when Alaric the Goth was laying siege to Rome. The Senate consulted her as to the reliability of her cousin Serena, widow of Stilicho, the Vandal general who had served her father, and she advised that the woman be strangled for conniving with the enemy. Though a very devout Catholic, she lived in a world of treachery and sudden death, and witnessed many such scenes---and worse, for the most usual form of execution then was clubbing to death.
When Alaric sacked Rome, he carried off Placidia as a part of his booty but afforded her imperial honours. He died soon afterwards, and his brother-in-law Ataulf became king. Ataulf carried on for a short time Alaric's policy of attempting to convert the Roman Empire into a Gothic one, but rapidly became convinced of the superiority of a Roman structure. In 412 he offered to join with Honorius and to give up Placidia in return for supplies, but neither cooperation nor supplies came, and in 414 he married Placidia. This was be no means a forced marriage, and the description we have of the ceremony shows an interesting union of Roman and barbaric ideas: they dressed in the Roman manner, and the proper wedding hymns were sung, but the bridegroom's gift to the bride was fifty handsome youths dressed in silk, each carrying two platters, the one piled high with gold, the other with precious stones---the booty from the sack of Rome. Ataulf declared 'I hope to be handed down to posterity as the initiator of a Roman restoration.' (Olympiodorus fragment 24, and Orosius, vii, 42.)
We cannot tell what might have resulted from such a cooperation, but it was foiled by Honorius, who was deeply shocked by his sister's marriage with a barbarian and also was strongly influenced by the advice of his leading general, Constantius, who longed to marry Placidia himself.
In 415 Placidia bore Ataulf a son, and called him Theodosius, after her father. But the child died, and almost as soon as they had buried their hope for the future in his silver coffin in Barcelona, Ataulf was murdered. His immediate successor treated her as a common prisioner, driving her before his horse on foot for twelve miles. Luckily for her this man only lasted a week, and his successor handed her over to Constantius in return for 600,000 measures of corn, as her husband had instructed on his death-bed.
In 417 she was married, much against her will, to Constantius. She soon settled down, bearing him a son and a daughter, and exercising her powerful influence on Honorius to raise her husband's status. Honorius was not keen on human beings---he loved poultry best of all but his sister he adored, and scandal ensued from their constant kissing. In 421 Placidia was elevated to the rank of Augusta, and her husband as Agusutus became joint ruler of the Wester 11 Jan 345-346 - 17 Jan 393-394 Flavius Theodosius I "The Great Name Suffix:<NSFX> Emperor Of Rome

Emperor of Rome in the East 378-394
Emperor of Rome 394-395
Theodosius was the son of the famous general Flavius Theodosius and was born in Spain. As a young man, he often accompanied his father in the British campaigns, but when he later died Theodosius retired to Spain. When the Roman Emperor Valens in the East died in 378, his co-Emperor Gratian in the West appointed Theodosius to rule the East as Emperor. In 382, Theodosius finally compromised with the invading Visigoths that they could remain in the Empire as long as they served in the army.
When the Roman Emperor Gratian died in 383, Theodosius recognized the usurper Maximus as Emperor in the West with the exception of Italy, where Valentinian II ruled as Emperor. In 388, Maximus attacked Theodosius, however Theodosius defeated and killed him, returning sole rule fo the West to his co-Emperor Valentinian. In 392, Valentinian's general Arbogast killed the Western Emperor and gave the crown to Eugenius as a puppet ruler in his place. Theodosius marched to Italy and defeated the two pretenders in 394, becoming the first sole Roman Emperor since the Emperor Jovian died in 364. He formally divided the Roman Empire on his death permanently into two separate, independent empires of the West and the East. He was succeeded by his sons Arcadius and Honorius to the East and West respectively.

Valentinian himself took Illyricum, Italy, Gaul, Britain, Africa, and Spain under his direct administration, leaving the eastern provinces to his brother. Under Valentinian's rule, the Roman army won many battles in Africa and Britain, and in Germany against the Alamanni and the Saxons. Valentinian furthered education throught the Empire, provided medical care for the poor, and though he was an orthodox Christian he tolerated all religions.

Waccho assassinated his uncle Tato and usurped the throne c. 510, ruling for 30 years.
Tato's son and grandson took refuge with the king of a neighbouring people, the Gepidae, making several fruitless attempts to recover rule over the Lombards. Shortly after 536 Waccho made a treaty with the Byzantine emperor Justinian I against the Gepidae. In 539 the Ostrogoth king of Italy, Witigis, hard-pressed by Justinian's general Belisarius, sent ambassadors to Waccho, offering him money in exchange for military aid. Waccho refused, preferring to remain on good terms with Constantinople. Married successively to daughters of the kings of the Thuringians, of the Gepidae, and of the Heruli, Waccho was succeeded by a young son who died during the regency of the Lombard chief Audoin; this regent's son Alboin became the king who destroyed the Gepidae and invaded Italy.

When Chlotar, King of the Franks, died in 561, his kingdom was divided among his four sons: Charibert I (Paris), Sigebert I (Metz), Guntram (Burgundy), and Chilperic I (Soissons). Guntram married his servant Veneranda, then married Marcatrude, daughter of Magnachar. Marcatrude, who was jealous of Veneranda, poisoned Gundobad, but God took her son in return (not by Guntram). Guntram then married Austrechild, and they had two sons.
In 573, a civil war began between Guntram and his brother King Sigebert of Metz. In 575, Guntram allied with his brother King Chilperic of Soissons against Sigebert, but Guntram switched his alliance to Sigebert in the middle of the war, and Chilperic was forced to retreat. Later that year, Sigebert was assassinated, and Chilperic invaded the kingdom, now under the rule of King Childebert II, Sigebert's young son. Guntram ordered his commander Mummolus to attack Chilperic, whose general Desiderius was defeated. In 577, Guntram's two living sons, Chlotar and Chlodomer, died of dysentery, leaving Guntram childless. That year, he adopted his nephew Childebert II, King of Austrasia, and the two made a lasting alliance against Chilperic. In 581, war again broke out between Guntram and Chilperic, who took many cities from him. In 583, Chilperic and Childebert both attacked Guntram, however Guntram and Chilperic made peace and Childebert pulled out his forces.
In 584, Chilperic died and his evil Queen Fredegund ruled the land in the name of her infant son Chlotar II. The next year, Guntram attacked Childebert, taking Poitiers, Tours, and other cities. He had to pull out to attend the baptizm of Chlotar in Orleans on the Feast of Saint Martin, July 4, but the child was not brought. Guntram then invaded Gothic Septimania, but peace was then made. In 587, Queen Fredegund attempted an assassination of Guntram that failed. That year, on November 28, King Guntram, King Childebert II, Queen Brunhild, Chlodosind, Queen Faileuba, Magneric, Bishop of Trier, Ageric, Bishop of Verdun, and Duke Guntram Boso all met in Trier and made the Treaty of Andelot that lasted until Guntram's death. In 589, Guntram again invaded Septimania but was repelled. In 590, Guntram and Childebert ordered many bishops from their kingdoms to settle a revolt at a nunnery in Poiters that had grown quite large. In 592, Guntram died, and King Childebert II of Austrasia took the Kingdom of Burgundy under his crown.

Vladimir I, in full VLADIMIR SVYATOSLAVICH, byname SAINT VLADIMIR, or VLADIMIR THE GREAT, Russian SVYATOY VLADIMIR, or VLADIMIR VELIKY (b. c. 956, Kiev, Kievan Rus [now in Ukraine]--d. July 15, 1015, Berestova, near Kiev; feast day July 15), grand prince of Kiev and first Christian ruler in Kievan Rus, whose military conquests consolidated the provinces of Kiev and Novgorod into a single state, and whose Byzantine baptism determined the course of Christianity in the region.
Vladimir was the youngest son of the Norman-Rus prince Svyatoslav I and his mistress Malushka, and was a member of the Rurik lineage dominant from the 10th to the 13th century. He was made prince of Novgorod in 970. On the death of Svyatoslav in 972, a long civil war took place between his sons Yaropolk and Oleg, in which Vladimir was involved. Yaropolk attempted to seize the duchy of Novgorod as well as Kiev. Vladimir was forced to flee to Scandinavia, where he enlisted help from an uncle. From 977 to 984 while in Scandinavia, he collected as many of the Viking warriors as he could to assist him recover Novgorod. On his way to Kiev he sent ambassadors to Ragnvald, prince of Polotsk, to sue for the hand of his daughter Ragnilda. The haughty princess refused to affiance herself to "the son of a bondswoman," but Vladimir attacked Polotsk, slew Ragnvald and took Ragnilda by force.
On his return, he marched against Yaropolk. In 980, he captured Kiev, slew Yaropolk by treachery, and was proclaimed prince of all Russia. In 981 he conquered the Chervensk cities, the modern Galicia; in 983 he subdued the heathen Yatvyags, whose territories lay between Lithuania and Poland; in 985 he led a fleet along the central rivers of Russia to conquer the Bulgars of the Kama, planting numerous fortresses and colonies on his way. At this time Vladimir was a thoroughgoing pagan. He increased the number of the trebishcha or heathen temples; offered up Christians (Theodore and Ivan, the protomartyrs of the Russian church) on his altars; he had 800 concubines, besides numerous wives; and spent his whole leisure in feasting and hunting. He also formed a great council out of his boyars, and set his 12 sons over his subject principalities.
Although Christianity in Kiev existed before Vladimir's time, he had remained a pagan, accumulated about seven wives, established temples, and, it is said, had taken part in idolatrous rites involving human sacrifice. In the year 987, as the result of a consultation with his boyars, Vladimir sent envoys to study the religions of the various neighbouring nations whose representatives had been urging him to embrace their respective faiths. The result is amusingly described by the chronicler Nestor. Of the Moslem Bulgarians of the Volga the envoys reported "there is no gladness among them; only sorrow and a great stench; their religion is not a good one." In the temples of the Germans they saw "no beauty"; but at Constantinople, where the full festival ritual of the Orthodox Church was set in motion to impress them, they found their ideal. "We no longer knew whether we were in heaven or on earth, nor such beauty, and we know not how to tell of it." [This story, deriving from the 11th-century monk Jacob, that Vladimir chose the Byzantine rite over the liturgies of German Christendom, Judaism, and Islam because of its transcendent beauty is apparently mythically symbolic of his determination to remain independent of external political control, particularly that of the Germans.]
With insurrections troubling Byzantium, the emperor Basil II (976-1025) sought military aid from Vladimir. Vladimir was impressed by the offer of the emperor to give him his sister Anna in marriage, and agreed. A pact was reached between them about 987, when Vladimir also consented to the condition that he become a Christian. In 988 he was baptized at Kherson in the Crimea, taking the Christian name of Basil out of compliment to his im ~0942 - 0972 Svyatoslav I Suitislaus 30 30 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Prince Of Kiev ~0924 - 0945 I Igor 21 21 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Prince Of Kiev ~0800 - 0879 Prince Of Kiev Rurik 79 79 [blended.FTW]

King of the Franks 768-771
When Pepin III died in 768, his sons Carloman and Charles I (called Charlemagne towards the end of his reign) succeeded as Kings of the Franks. Carloman received the strong interior - Paris and Orleans, and Charlemagne received the rebellious states and border lands in a NW crescent around Carloman's kingdom. Either Pepin did this because he favored Carloman, or because he knew that Charlemagne was a better general and needed to be the one to face the rebellions.
In 769, Aquitaine rebelled and both brothers went to face the problem. Carloman marched back home without striking a blow, leaving Charlemagne to subdue Aquitaine on his own, which he did. The hatred between the brothers was temporarily settled by their mother, Bertrada. The Lombards were making many threats to Pope Hadrian, and so he called for the Frankish kings for protection. Carloman was pro-Lombard, so Charlemagne was again on his own. In 771, the Lombard king Desiderius invaded Rome and took much Papal land. At the end of that year, Carloman died, leaving Charlemagne the entire Frankish kingdom.

Berengar was important in the career of the German king and Holy Roman emperor Otto I the Great. For several months in 951 he held captive Adelaide, the daughter and widow of kings of Italy; she escaped and married Otto, who assumed the title of king of the Lombards and made Berengar his vassal. Later (from 960) Berengar and his son Adalbert attacked Pope John XII, on whose appeal Otto marched into Rome and was crowned emperor (962).

Louis I, byname LOUIS THE PIOUS, or THE DEBONAIR, French LOUIS LE PIEUX, or LE DÉBONNAIRE, German LUDWIG DER FROMME (b. 778, Chasseneuil, near Poitiers, Aquitaine--d. June 20, 840, Petersaue, Ger.), son of the Frankish ruler Charlemagne; he was crowned as co-emperor in 813 and became emperor in 814 on his father's death. Twice deprived of his authority by his sons (Lothair, Pepin, Louis, and Charles), he recovered it each time (830 and 834), but at his death the Carolingian empire was in disarray.
Louis was the fifth child of Charlemagne's second wife, Hildegard the Swabian. From 781 until 814 Louis ruled Aquitaine with some success, though largely through counsellors. When Charlemagne died at Aachen in 814 and was succeeded by Louis, by then his only surviving legitimate son, Louis was well experienced in warfare; he was 36, married to Irmengard of Hesbaye, and was the father of three young sons, Lothair, Pepin, and Louis (Louis the German); he had inherited vast lands, which seemed to be under reasonable control; there was no other claimant to the throne; and on Sept. 11, 813, shortly before his father's death, Louis had been crowned in Aachen as heir and co-emperor.
Louis' first task was to carry out the terms of Charlemagne's will. According to the Frankish chronicler Einhard, Louis did this with great scrupulousness, although other contemporary sources tell a different story. Louis next began to allocate parts of the empire to the various members of his family, and here began the difficulties and disasters that were to beset him for the remainder of his life. In August 814 he made Lothair and Pepin nominal kings of Bavaria and Aquitaine. He also confirmed Bernard, the son of his dead brother Pepin, as king of Italy, which position Charlemagne had allowed him to inherit in 813. But when Bernard revolted in 817, Louis had him blinded, and he died as a result of it. Louis sent his sisters and half sisters to nunneries and later put his three illegitimate half brothers--Drogo, Hugo, and Theodoric--into monasteries.
At the assembly of Aachen in July 817, he confirmed Pepin in the possession of Aquitaine and gave Bavaria to Louis the German; Lothair he made his co-emperor and heir. Charlemagne had been in his 70s and within a few months of death before naming his heir, and for Louis to give such premature expectations to a youth of 22 was to ask for trouble. Moreover, Louis did not anticipate that he would become father of another child: the empress Irmengard died in 818; and four months later Louis married Judith of Bavaria, who, in June 823, bore him a son, Charles (Charles the Bald), to whom the Emperor gave Alemannia in 829.
Backed by his two brothers, Lothair rose in revolt and deposed his father. The assembly of Nijmegen in October 830, however, restored Louis to the throne; and, the following February, at the assembly of Aachen, in a second partition, Lothair was given Italy. In 832 Louis took Aquitaine away from Pepin and gave it to Charles. The three brothers revolted a second time, with the support of Pope Gregory IV, and at a meeting near Sigolsheim, in Alsace, once more deposed their father. In March 834 Louis was again restored to the throne and made peace with Pepin and with Louis the German. Later in 834, Lothair rose again, but alone, and had to retreat into Italy. Encouraged by his success, Louis made over more territories to his son Charles at the assemblies of Aachen and Nijmegen (837-838)--a move the three brothers accepted but with bad grace. In 839 Louis the German revolted but was driven back into Bavaria.
Meanwhile, Pepin had died (December 838), and, at the assembly of Worms (May 30, 839), a fourth partition was made, the empire being divided between Lothair and Charles, with Bavaria left in the hands of Louis the German. Toward the end of 839 Louis the German marched his troops for the last time against his father, who once more drove him back.

They moved to Bastican where they had ten children. The third child, Julien, is the progenitor of our family line.
Nicolas was a civic-minded individual and was involved in the public affairs of the town. He did not hesitate to defend the poor and the weak members of his community and he took the initiative to protect the common interests of the local inhabitants. He was the local militia captain until he was 81 years old.

He appears in the public archives of Canada for the first time in Quebec on Sept 19 1657 when he was a witness for the marriage contract between Pierre Trembly and Ozanne Achon. On August 25 1658, he ratified his marriage contract with Madeleine Triot in the presence of the upper-crust of Quebec society; Jean de Lauzon, grand senechal and owner of the arriere-fief of Lotinville on the Beaupre coast, his wife Anne Despres, Etienette Despres and Pierre Legardeur.  On January 26 1659 he received a concession of land from Jean de Lauzon. The land was in the feif of Lotinville to the west of the riviere Petit Pre, was a league and half in depth and 40 arpents wide.  By the summer of 1663, he owned a stone house, the first in the area measuring 37x22 ft, having 2 chmneys, one with a brick oven, and an attic covered with planks. There was also a straw-roofed 25x18 barn. The farm was sold to Merchant Antoine Berson for 1100 livres, plus 40 livres for pins for Marie Triot and 5 livres for wine.
Charles acted as appraiser for the property of Charles Berson in 1666, chosen by his widow because he had stored the deceased's clothing and papers.  In 1667 Charles bought the late Pierre LeGardeur's farm at Chateau Richer, and the following year bought the adjoining farm owned by Jacques Goulet.  Ib 1681 the census reports Charles as owning 20 arpents of cleared land, 14 head of cattle, a mare and 2 guns at Chateau Richer.
In 1699, half the propert was given to sons Nicolas and Pierre with the stipulation that they supported their parents until their deaths. The second half of the property went to them on their parents death with 250 livres given to each of the other children. ~1600 Charles Lefrancoise ~1601 Suzanne Montigny 1641 - 1701 Marie Madeleine Triot 60 60 Jacques Triot Still Living.

In 1731 he was commander at Michilimackinac.
2 July 1721 Pierre-Francois-Xavier de Charlevoix (1682-1761) begins a journey with de Montigny from Michilimackinac to Green Bay [the following exerpts are from translated letters of Charlevoix's, written to the Dutchess of Lesdiguieres].
"...Since writing my last letter, I have made a voyage to the Bay eighty leagues distant from this (Michilimakinac) post. I took advantage of the opportunity of going with M.de Montigny, Captain of a company of troops which the King maintains in Canada, Knight of St.Louis and whose name is famous in the annals of this colony; but he is at least as valuable for his probity and his character full of equity and sincerity, as for his courage and warlike exploits...After we had gone five or six leagues, we found ourselves over-against a little Isle, which is not far from the west Side of the Bay, and which hid from us the Entrance of a River, upon which is the Village of the Malhomines, which the French call folles Avoines, (wild Oats), probably because they make their common food of this grain. The whole Nation consists of no more than this Village, which is not very populous...The Otchagras, who are commonly called the Puans, dwelt formerly on the borders of the bay, in a very delightful situation. They were attacked here by the Illinois, who killed a great number of them: The remainder took refuge in the River of the Outagamis, which runs into the bottom of the bay...We have in the bay a fort which stands on the west side of the River of the Outagamis, half a league from its mouth; and before we arrive at it, we leave on the left hand a Village of Sakis. The Otchagras have lately come and seated themselves near us, and have built their cabins about the fort...The Sakis, though they are but a small number, are divided into two factions, one of which side with the Outagamis, and the other with the Pouteouatamis....They received the new Commandant with great demonstrations of joy...The next day the Chiefs of the two Nations paid me a visit, and one of the Otchagras shewed me a Catalan Pistol, a pair of Spanish shoes, and I know not what drug, which seemed to be a sort of ointment...About two years ago, some Spaniards, who came from New Mexico, intending to get in the Country of the Illinois, and drove the French from thence, whom they as with extreme jealousy approach so near the Missouri, came down the river and attacked two Villages of the Ocotatas, who are allies of the Ajouez; from whom it is also said they are driven.

There is nothing immoral or sinister about this title. Their title was not even an original idea of the King. (Thomas B. Costain, "The King's Girls" in Cavalcade of the North, 1958, George E. Nelson). Costain reports (pg. 565) how "Louis the Paternal Tyrant" began the idea when the English sent "King's Girls" to Virginia. Even the Spanish sent their girls to colonies in the Indies for the purpose of marrying.
Before 1660, the first girls who came to Canada looking for husbands were known as "Filles à Marier", or "marriageable daughters". They were few in number and often paid their own way through contracts and indentures. After 1663, the French royal authorities became concerned with propagation of people in their Canadian colony. Therefore, the King himself directed the first recruitment of young women of good quality for the purpose of marrying the single men already in Quebec.
Fiction literature largely stereotypes the girls as beautiful and from good families. Although writers typically put them in a situation of escaping an unwanted suitor or other untenable situations, the girls were carefully picked by agents of the King of France for their good qualities, i.e., their name "Les Filles du Roi". Records indicate how many of these girls had good backgrounds, some with a good education; yet others came with little or no education. Most girls came from the northwestern provinces of France.
A dowry from the King was promised to the girls after they were selected by recommendation. A girl received 50 livres if she married a solider or "habitant", but 100 livres if she married an officer. Since many of the girls were very poor, they also received new outfits before leaving France. The first disbursement made to the girls was a 100 livres expense broken down as follows: ten for personal moving expenses, 30 for clothing and 60 to cover the cost of passage. In addition to the allocation for clothing expense, the girls also received a small hope chest, one head dress, one taffeta handkerchief, one pair of she ribbons, 100 sewing needles, one comb, one spool of white thread, one pair of stockings, one pair of gloves, one pair of scissors, two knives, one thousand pins, one bonnet, four lace braids and two livres in sliver money. After the girls arrived in Quebec, they received other clothing suitable to the climate and additional provisions drawn from the King's warehouse.
Some girls came from upper middle class families, but for the most part, they were peasant farm girls. Farm girls were considered, usually, healthier and more industrious. Girls from the cities did not prove to be satisfactory because they were inclined to be "lightheaded, lazy and sometimes sluttish". Consequently, the sturdy young habitants of Quebec had no desire for finicky wives, even if this meant the city women might be prettier and trimmer than the big girls from the French farms.
A report from Jean Talon, who was the French King's representative in Quebec, asked French Minister Colbert to send out "strong, intelligent and beautiful girls of robust health, habituated to farm work". It was important for marriage partners to do their share of the hard work in colonial Quebec (le vivace). Commonly, before draft animals were bred in sufficient numbers, the wife would pull a plow while her husband pushed with one hand while holding a ready musket with the other.
Female candidates were examined closely (la vierge); their birth records were checked, as were recommendations from their parish priests or father confessors.
It is not known what happened if undesirables were found, but if something unforeseen surfaced, surely they must have been returned home after receiving some sort of reprimand.

A letter of nobility was written for him in September of 1668, but it was never registered. He received several concessions of land in appreciation for his service including the seigneuries of Linctot (1637) and l'Ile Marie (1657) (near the "petit riviere Godefroy") and was known as the Sieur de Linctot.
In the 1666 census of the Trois-Rivières area, he is listed as a habitant and a squire and is able to sign his name. His wife Marie LeNeuf is listed as a mid-wife and is able to sign also. Their five sons and one daughter living in the household were between the ages of 21 and 8.

It is highly likely Joseph BLONDIN in Vermont and N.Y. is a priest's misunderstanding for the less common name of BIDAGUIN.  It is also likely the name of BELISLE assigned to Marguerite VALOIS in the 1851 baptisms at St. Joseph's in Burlington, Vt. is a clue to the family of her unknown father. In French Canada, illegitimate children were frequently known informally by the name of the father (presuming that everyone in the village knew who he was) rather than the name of the mother, which was officially given to them. <1795 Josephte Valois 1827 Margueritte St. Martin 1832 Jean- Baptiste Martin 1834 Louis Martin [Demarce.FTW]

SEVENTH REGIMENT.
(THREE YEARS.)
BY WILLLIAM C. HOLBROOK, COLONEL SEVENTH REGIMENT.
THE Seventh Regiment, numbering 943 officers and men, was mustered into the service of the United States at Rutland, Vt.,
February 12, 1862, under the command of Col. George T. Roberts. The act under which the regiment was formed authorized the
Governor to "recruit, organize, arm and equip, an additional regiment" * * * "to serve in the army of the United States."
By a previous act, the Governor had been authorized to recruit, etc., a regiment to be attached to a New England division then
being raised by Gen. B. F. Butler, under the authority of the Secretary of War, to operate against the City of New Orleans,
which regiment was "to be armed and equipped at the expense of the United States." Under this latter act, the Eighth regiment
was formed. It was clearly the intention of the legislature, by the act under which the Seventh was formed, as it was the
avowed purpose of the State officials, that the Seventh shouldnot form a part of General Butler's division. It was the
unanimous wish of the officers and men that the regiment might be sent to the Army of the Potomac, and they were greatly
disappointed and disgusted when they learned that they had been
designated by the War Department, for service under General
Butler.
On the 10th of March, 1862, the Seventh left Rutland for
New York City, where it embarked on two old-fashioned sailing
ships, ill adapted for the transportation of troops, with
sealed orders to proceed to sea. Upon opening the orders, it
was learned that the destination of the regiment was Ship
Island, Miss. The voyage occupied upwards of three weeks, and
was very uncomfortable and trying, owing to the heavy March
gales which prevailed throughout the passage. On the fall of
New Orleans, a portion of the Seventh for a short time,
occupied Fort Pike, one of the important outlying
fortifications of the city, commanding the entrance to Lake
Pontchartrain. The balance of the regiment shortly thereafter
proceeded to Carrolton, an environ of New Orleans; thence, in a
few days, it proceeded to Baton Rouge, where it reported to
Brig.-Gen. Thomas Williams. On the 19th of June, 1862, eight
companies of the Seventh, with three other regiments and a
light battery, comprising altogether about 3,500 men, embarked
on transports to take part in a foolhardy expedition against
Vicksburg, conceived by General Butler. Although supported by
Admiral Farragut's entire squadron of war ships, the expedition
was a failure. After besieging the place for twenty-eight
days, and after the loss, unnecessarily, of many valuable
lives, principally from exposure and sickness, the command
returned to Baton Rouge. Disease and death had so decimated
the ranks of the Seventh, that of the 800 men with which it
started on this ill-starred campaign, it had less than 100 for
duty on its return to Baton Rouge. On the 5th of
August, 1862, the regiment took a conspicuous and highly
meritorious part in the battle which occurred at that place on
that day. In addition to other losses, it had the great
misfortune to lose its beloved and heroic Colonel, George T.
Roberts, who died two days later from wounds received while
gallantly discharging his duties at the most critical stage of
the action. Later, the regiment performed duty in and around
the City of New Orleans. At this time, owing to the hardships
endured on the Vicksburg campaign, the mortality in the
regiment reached its highest percentage. In November

Sage-femme (midwife) (Jette). ~1641 - <1709 Francois Banhiac Dit Lamontagne 68 68 [blended.FTW]
Francois BANHIAC was born about 1641 in Chantrezac, Angoumois diocese, France.
He was the son of Jean BANHIAC and Francoise PETIT.
In 1665/06/18&19 he arrived in Quebec City as a soldier
in the LaFouille Company of the Carignan Regiment from France.
It was common practice for soldiers of this era to take on a DIT name
and so Francois became known as BANHIAC dit LAMONTAGNE.
He eventually settled in Riviere du Loup which is known today as Louiseville
(seigneurie d'enseigne M. de MANEREUIL).
In 1668/09/08 he became the godfather of Jacques LESOT of Cote de Beaupre.
In 1669/07/30 he received from Robert DROUIN,
a concession of 2 arpents of long depth and a frontage of 3.5 perches,
joined on one side by Robert DROUIN
and on the other side by the estate of Anne CLOUTIER.
Francois wanted to leave Beaupre for Cap de la Madeleine and in 1671/10/14
through the greffe DUQUET, he left his uncultivated land to his godson Jacques LESOT.
In 1674/02/17 the greffe A. ADHEMAR intervened on his behalf
regarding a contract with Joachim GERMANO of Riviere du Loup.
In 1677/01/27 through the greffe VACHON
Francois signed a marriage contract with Marie-MADELEINE DOYON.
They married in Trois Rivieres but the actual marriage record has disappeared.
She was born in 1659 and was the daughter of Jean DOYON & Marie GAGNON.
On 1678/08/21 their child Francois was born and his mother died one week later in Louiseville.
The 1681 census places the property of Francois BANHIAC dit LAMONTAGNE
between Jean JACQUET & Jacques DELABARRE with a value of 10 arpents.
Having been settled in Riviere du Loup for 10 years, Francois received some property
from the new seigneur Jean LECHASSEUR through the greffe ADHEMAR
on 1684/06/10. These 2 concessions were on the right side of Riviere du Loup
between LAMIRANDE & GUINARD.
In 1684/06/14 Francois PELLETIER-ANTAYA & Marguerite MORISSEAU give permission
(through the greffe ADHEMAR) for their daughter Marie-Madeleine to marry.
She was born on 1662/10/14 in Sillery, Quebec, PQ
and she married Franois on 1685/05/07 in either Louisville or Sorel.
Francois was a sabotier by trade.
Sometime between 1705/12/01-1709/05/25, he died in Louiseville, PQ.
His widow remarried in 1709/05/25 to Antoine DeGERLAISE in Trois Rivieres.
She died in 1741/03/18 in Riviere du Loup. 1685 - 1738 Jean Baptiste Dessureaux 52 52 ~1635 - Bet 1690 and 1697 Francois Pelletier Dit Antaya 1675 - 1748 Marie Catherine Dessureaux 73 73 Jean Trudel Still Living. ~1610 - <1677 Jean Lamontagne 67 67 1680 Madeleine Dessureaux 1672 - 1733 Marie Dessureaux 61 61 1768 - 1770 Marie- Josephe Bidagant 1 1 1770 - 1770 Francois Saint-Martin Dit Bidagan 3d 3d 1776 - 1815 Pierre Bidagant 39 39 1778 - 1778 Francois- Benoni Bidagan 4d 4d 1780 Genevieve Bidagant 1787 Marie- Josephe Bidegain 1653 - 1721 Genevieve Terillon 68 68 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Terion

Thomas was a Private in the Continental Army from VA and also fought in the French and Indian Wars.
1. Will dated 2 Dec 1788 and probated 23 Mar 1789 in Orange county, Virginia.
2. Served as a private (before the battle of the Meadows) in George Mercer's
company (Company M) during the Fort Necessity campaign of the French and
Indian War (Col. Geo. Washington's regiment). He was wounded by an Indian
tomahawk (in the head) as reported in the Maryland Gazette (Annapolis) 2
Oct 1755. T. Burris fought at Braddock's defeat in 1755. He later was
to exasperate George Washington by "some sharp practices" in horse-
dealing. Evidently T. Burris rode a mare which had originally belonged
to an officer who was killed, Washington wanted to sell the horse and
give the money to the officers family; the horse was eventually taken
to Washington's Bullskin Plantation. Burris had ridden the horse from
"Alexandry" to Fort Loudoun. In 1757 T. Burris was paid ten pounds by
the Colony of Virginia as a "recompence for the loss of his arm in the
service of his country (J.H.B. 1752-1758, page 478). In 1757-1758 Burris
was a messenger or courier who delivered letters to and from George
Washington and members of his command.
3. Thomas Burris served in the Revolutionary War as a private in Capt. William
Washington's company, 3rd Virginia Regiment of Foot. He enlisted 23 Feb
1776 and his name appears on the muster rolls of that organization to July,
1777. His name appears with the rank of corporal with the following:
Captain John Francis Mercer's Company of this regiment to and including
May, 1776; Capt. Robert Powell's Company, 3rd and 7th Virginia
(consolidated) regiment from May, 1778 to September, 1778. Capt. Robert
Powell's company, 3rd Virginia Regiment for October, 1778; Capt. John F.
Mercer's company, 3rd Virginia Regiment, to April, 1779, and Capt.
Valentine Peyton's company, 3rd Virginia Regiment, to November, 1779.
4. Thomas Burris received two grants of land in Kentucky: #549 and #552.
Each was for 1,000 acres in Fayette county, KY on 2-mile Creek and both
were dated 1 Mar 1784.
5. If Frances Tandy's birth date is correct--1735--then it is quite likely
that Thomas Burris was probably married twice for Frances Tandy would have
only been 13 years old at the birth of the first child, Fanny, in 1748.
But, perhaps the birth date of Frances Tandy is in error because the first
childs name, Fanny, or Frances? may have been for her mother, Frances
Tandy. However, on page 42 of the Baker Family material it is suggested
that Frances Tandy was the second wife of Thomas Burris---"When "Our
Frances Tandy Burrus" was still a very young woman she married as his second
wife Thomas Burrus, born about 1720 who was with George Washington in 1756
at Braddock's Defeat and there lost an arm."" ~1730 - 1816 Frances Tandy 86 86 "Brockman (The Brockman Scrapbook, p. 52) states, "There are indications
that Thomas (Burrus), spouse of Frances Tandy, was much older than his wife
and, therefore, she may have been his second wife. When Thomas Burrus died
(will, Orange, 1788) he had grandchildren over 21, which points to his
birth about 1720/21. Frances, his wife, died 29 years after her husband
(will, Christian Co., Ky.) and some of their children were not married
until 1783 (Mourning Burris to Thomas Graves) while Thomas, son of Thomas,
Jr., was apparently over 21 when his grandfather died." ~1690 - ~1757 Roger Tandy 67 67 In 1727, Roger Tandy of St Stephen's Parish, King and Queen county patented 520 acres lying in St Georges Parish, Spotsylvania (1) (2). 13 March 1747 Roger and Sarah, his wife, acknowledged a deed to John Baylor and were living in Caroline county (when their residence in King and Queen was part of what was to become Caroline co ) (1). Died about 1757 (1). Listed in the DAR Patriot Index as having been a Pvt serving for Virginia and married to Sarah Quarles and died 6/27/1778 (3)

Living in 1216, he was Lord of Kirkby Mallory, Botley and Walton, Swinford and Bredon. The first Mallories appeared in the 1100's shortly after the time of William the Conquerer and likely had fought with him. Richard is the first known Mallory that all current Mallories are believed to descend through. The name has been spelled Malory, Mallorie, Malore, Malri, and Maleure also. The name itself is probably French in derivation meaning something close to "weighed with misfortune" or it could be from the word "maillerie" which is a mill that breaks up hemp in textile manufacturing. The first time the exact spelling Mallory appers in in Leicestershire by 1174. The coat of arms was a gold shield with a red rampant fork-tailed lion. During King Stephen's reign, this family held lands in Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Warwickshire, Northampton shire, Bedfordshire, Rutland, Camridgeshire, Yorkshire and Cheshire. All of these lands had been sold into other families by 1714. Two of these houses still supposedly contain some Mallory artifacts.

It is also stated that by the help of the knights of Rhodes, he built a castle there, called St. Peter's Castle. His lordship m.

when as an adult he witnessed a number of charters in the Craven
district of North Yorkshire.
This Roger appears to have been closely associated wth the Norman ,de
Romilly family , who were influential at the time in the founding of a
number of abbeys in the region.
It is suggested that the Tempest's were also
Norman , the name itself being a nickname referring to some
incident on the voyage to England. Whatever the factual basis this
latter appears to have become rooted in family legend !
More certain is that Roger held lands in the villages of Bracewell and
Stock (small villages in Craven near Skipton) and that the senior male
line of the family was afterwards referred to as Tempest of
Bracewell.They must have liked the surname as it was adopted at a much
earlier date than many in the UK.
Roger may be identical with a Roger of Poitou also mentioned in charters
of the time.
From Tempest of Bracewell descend the following.
In the senior male line Tempest of Bracewell. This continued unbroken
until around 1650 when the last Richard Tempest died a prisoner for debt
in Westminster having partially pulled down Bracewell Hall one of the
Tempest's main homes for the preceeding 400
years. This was largely as a consequence of supporting the Royalist
claims in the Civil War and "quarrelling with his wife"!
Highlights and lowlights in the intervening years saw Tempests fight at
Crecy , Agincourt and Bosworth field and command at Flodden. During the
Wars of the Roses the fugitive Henry VI was captured at the Tempest's
house at Waddington.During the reformation the
Tempest's played a leading role in the Pilgrimage of Grace (1536) , a
rising against Henry VIII. Following the failure of this the head of
the Bracewell Tempests Sir Richard (Sherif of Yorks) died a prisoner in
the Fleet (London) prison. A cousin Nicolas was tried for
treason and martyered at Tyburn (now Marble Arch, London).
The Tempests of Bracewell intermarried with an heiress of the Bolling
family in the 15th century acquiring Bowling Hall near Bradford Yorks and
later Tong Hall.The line of Tempest of Tong continued in the known male
until the early 19th century becoming Baronets.There are still Tempest
tombs in Tong church though the hall belongs to a firm of accountants!
Bowling Hall is a museum run by the local council and has several windows
depicting the Tempest's arms.
Diverging from Tempest of Bracewell around 1300 via another Sir Richard
(Constable of Berwick and Roxburgh ,wife carried off by the
Scots) are the Tempests of Studley near Ripon (Yorks). Their further
descent is traced from a Roland Tempest . From Roland descend
branches resident in County Durham and Newcastle to the present day. The
senior male line was Tempest of Holmeside , this is a farm /manor near
Stanley (Co. Durham) It was acquired by marriage and purchase from the
Umfreville family (Earls of Angus).The Tempests held the manor
until 1569 when the Holmeside branch rushed into the Northern Rebellion
against Elizabeth I. Failed again I am afraid and Robert and Michel
Tempest the family heads were attainted for treason. Both fled abroad to
Spain, Italy and Flanders where they are often mentioned in the reports
of the head of the MI5 of the day Francis Walsingham.
Junior branches of Holmeside founded branches of the family in
Oxfordshire and Kent /London. Those branches remaining in Co Durham
included the branches of Stella , Thornley and Old Durham/Wynyard. The
Stella branch were active in the Newcastle
coal and merchant trade providing the mayor on at least one occasion.
They were recusants (Catholics who refused to conform) and the house at
Stella (demolished in the 1930's only garden and summer house remains)
was a centre for the Catholic faith. The
head of the family during the Civil War (1640's) was Sir Richard Tempest

John de Mowbray, 2nd baron, summoned to parliament from 26 August, 1307, to 5 August, 1320. This nobleman, during his minority, was actively engaged in the Scottish wars of King Edward I, and had livery of all his lands before he attained majority in consideration of those services. In the 6th Edward II [1313], being then sheriff of Yorkshire and governor of the city of York, he had command from the king to seize upon Henry de Percy, then a great baron in the north, in consequence of that nobleman suffering Piers de Gaveston, Earl of Cornwall, to escape from Scarborough Castle in which he had undertaken to keep him in safety. The next year Lord Mowbray was in another expedition into Scotland, and he was then constituted one of the wardens of the marches towards that kingdom. In the 11th of the same reign [1318], he was made governor of Malton and Scarborough Castles, in Yorkshire, and the following year he was once more in Scotland, invested with authority to receive into protection all who should submit to King Edward, but afterwards taking part in the insurrection of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, he was made prisoner with that nobleman and others at the battle of Boroughbridge and immediately hanged at York, anno 1321, when his lands were seized by the crown and Aliva, his widow, with her son, imprisoned in the Tower of London. This lady, who was dau. and co-heir of William de Braose, Lord Braose, of Gower, was compelled, in order to obtain some alleviation of her unhappy situation, to confer several manors of her own inheritance upon Hugh le Despencer, Earl of Winchester. In the next reign, however, she obtained from the crown a confirmation of Gowerland, in Wales, to herself and the heirs of her body by her deceased husband, with remainder to Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford and Essex, and his heirs.

William I - WILLIAM THE LION (b. 1143--d. Dec. 4, 1214, Stirling, Stirlingshire, Scot.)
King of Scotland from 1165 to 1214; although he submitted to English overlordship for 15 years 1174-89) of his reign, he ultimately obtained independence for his kingdom.
William was the second son of the Scottish Henry, Earl of Northumberland, whose title he inherited in 1152. He was forced, however, to relinquish this earldom to King Henry II of England (reigned 1154-89) in 1157. Succeeding to the throne of his elder brother, King Malcolm IV, in 1165, William joined a revolt of Henry's sons (1173) in an attempt to regain Northumberland. He was captured near Alnwick, Northumberland in 1174 and released after agreeing to recognize the overlordship of the king of England and the supremacy of the English church over the Scottish church.
Upon Henry's death in 1189, William obtained release from his feudal subjection by paying a large sum of money to England's new king, Richard I (reigned 1189-99). In addition, although William had quarreled bitterly with the papacy over a church appointment, Pope Celestine III ruled in 1192 that the Scottish church owed obedience only to Rome, not to England. During the reign of King John in England, relations between England and Scotland deteriorated over the issue of Northumberland until finally, in 1209, John forced William to renounce his claims.
In his effort to consolidate his authority throughout Scotland, William eveloped a small but efficient central administrative bureaucracy. He chartered many of the major burghs of modern Scotland and in 1178 founded Arbroath Abbey, which had become probably the wealthiest monastery in Scotland by the time of his death. William was succeeded by his son Alexander II.
Alexander II - (b. Aug. 24, 1198, Haddington, East Lothian, Scot.--d. July 8, 1249, Kerrera Island, Argyll)
King of Scotland from 1214 to 1249, he maintained peace with England and greatly strengthened the Scottish monarchy.
Alexander came to the throne on the death of his father, William I the Lion (reigned 1165-1214). When the English barons rebelled against King John (reigned 1199-1216) in 1215, Alexander sided with the insurgents in the hope of regaining territory he claimed in northern England. After the rebellion collapsed in 1217, he did homage to King Henry III (reigned 1216-72), and in 1221 he married Henry's sister, Joan (d. 1238). In 1237 Henry and Alexander concluded an agreement (Peace of York) by which the Scots king abandoned his claim to land in England but received in exchange several English estates. The boundary of Scotland was fixed approximately at its present location.
Meanwhile, Alexander was suppressing rebellious Scots lords and consolidating his rule over parts of Scotland that had hitherto only nominally acknowledged royal authority. In 1222 he subjugated Argyll. He died as he was preparing to conquer the Norwegian-held islands along Scotland's west coast.
Alexander III - (b. Sept. 4, 1241--d. March 18/19, 1286, near Kinghorn, Fife, Scot.)
King of Scotland from 1249 to 1286, the last major ruler of the dynasty of kings descended from Malcolm III Canmore (reigned 1058-93), who consolidated royal power in Scotland. Alexander left his kingdom independent, united, and prosperous, and his reign was viewed as a golden age by Scots caught up in the long, bloody conflict with England after his death.
The only son of King Alexander II (reigned 1214-49), Alexander III was seven years old when he came to the throne. In 1251 he was married to Margaret (d. 1275), the 11-year-old daughter of England's King Henry III. Henry immediately began plotting to obtain suzerainty over Scotland. In 1255 a pro-English party in Scotland seized Alexander, but two years later the anti-English party gained the upper hand and controlled the government until Alexander came of age the year 1262.
In 1263 Alexander repulsed an invasion by the Norwegian king Haak Prince Of Scotland Henry Still Living. David I "The Saint" King Of Scotland Still Living. ~1033 - 1093 Malcolm III "Canmore" King Of Scotland 60 60 Malcolm III, born about 1031, died November 13, 1093, founded the house of Canmore, which ruled Scotland for more than 200 years, and consolidated the power of the Scottish monarchy. He was the son of Duncan I, who in 1040 was killed by Macbeth. Malcolm lived in exile until 1057, when he defeated and killed Macbeth near Lumphanan in Aberdeenshire. He succeeded to the throne in 1058 after the death of Lulach, Macbeth's stepson.
Malcolm's second wife was Margaret (later canonized as Margaret of Scotland) of the English royal house of Wessex, who fled to Scotland after the Norman conquest (1066) of England. She introduced a powerful English influence in Scotland.
Malcolm invaded England many times after 1068 supporting the claim of his brother-in-law Edgar Atheling to the English throne. In 1072, however, he was forced to pay homage to William I, (William the Conqueror) and in1091, to William II. He was finally defeated and killed by Norman forces at Alnwick. He was succeeded briefly by his brother Donald Bane and then by his son Duncan II. Three other sons also succeeded to the throne....Edgar (ruled 1097-1107), Alexander I (ruled 1107-1124), and David I (1124-1153).
Malcolm III CANMORE (1058-1093)
King of Scotland, founder of the dynasty that consolidated royal power in the Scottish kingdom. The son of King Duncan I, Malcolm lived in exile in England during part of the reign of his father's murderer, Macbeth.
Malcolm killed Macbeth in battle in 1057 and then ascended the throne. After the conquest of England by William the Conqueror, in 1066, Malcolm gave refuge to the Anglo-Saxon prince Edgar the Aetheling and his sisters, one of whom, Margaret (later St. Margaret), became his second wife. Malcolm acknowledged the overlordship of William in 1072 but nevertheless soon violated his feudal obligations and made five raids into England. During the last of these invasions he was killed by the forces of King William II Rufus (reigned 1087-1100), near Alnwick, Northumberland, England.
Except for a brief interval after Malcolm's death, the Scottish throne remained in his family until the death of Queen Margaret, the Maid of Norway, in 1290. Of Malcolm's six sons by Margaret, three succeeded to the throne: Edgar (reigned 1097-1107), Alexander I (1107-24), and David I (1124-53).
Margaret, THE MAID OF NORWAY (b. 1282/83--d. September 1290, Orkney Islands)
Queen of Scotland from 1286 to 1290, the last of the line of Scottish rulers descended from King Malcolm III Canmore.
Margaret's father was Eric II, king of Norway; her mother, Margaret, a daughter of King Alexander III of Scotland (ruled 1249-86), died in 1283. Because none of Alexander III's other children were alive at the time of his death (March 1286), the Scottish lords proclaimed the infant Margaret as their queen. In 1290 her great-uncle, King Edward I of England, arranged a marriage between Margaret and his son Edward, later King Edward II of England. On the voyage from Norway to England, however, Margaret fell ill and died. Although the marriage treaty had specified that Scotland was to maintain its independence of England, Edward now proclaimed himself overlord of Scotland; the Scots resisted, and for more than 20 years Scotland suffered foreign domination and civil war.
Malcolm III
Malcolm III (Malcolm Canmore), d. 1093, king of Scotland (1057–93), son of Duncan I; successor to Macbeth (d. 1057). It took him some years after Macbeth's death to regain the boundaries of his father's kingdom. About 1068, Edgar Atheling, pretender to the English throne, took refuge with Malcolm, who soon married Edgar's sister Margaret (see Margaret of Scotland, Saint). On behalf of Edgar, Malcolm invaded N England, but in 1072 William I of England invaded Scotland, and Malcolm made peace with him. In the reign of William II, Edgar joined Malcolm in his raid into England in 1091, but William forced both men to submit and to do homage. Malcolm was killed at Alnwick on still another rai ~1001 - 1040 I Duncan 39 39 Name Suffix:<NSFX> King Of Scotland
Duncan I (1034 - 1040)
Duncan was the grandson of King Malcolm II , who irregularly made him ruler of Strathclyde when that region was absorbed into the Scottish kingdom (probably shortly before 1034). Malcolm violated the established system of succession whereby the kingship alternated between two branches of the royal family. Upon Malcolm's death, Duncan succeeded peacefully, but he soon faced the rivalry of Macbeth, Mormaor (subking) of Moray, who probably had a better claim to the throne. Duncan besieged Durham unsuccessfully in 1039 and in the following year was murdered by Macbeth near Elgin, Moray. Duncan's elder son later killed Macbeth and ruled as King Malcolm III Canmore.

Macbeth through to Malcolm III 1093
http://www.electricscotland.com/history/genhist/hist23.html
Duncan, son of Bethoc or Beatrice, daughter of Malcolm II, succeeded his grandfather in the year 1033. "In the extreme north, dominions more extensive than any Jarl of the Orkneys had hitherto acquired, were united under the rule of Thorfinn, Sigurd's son, whose character and appearance have been thus described: - 'He was stout and strong, but very ugly, severe and cruel, but a very clever man'. The extensive districts then dependant upon the Moray Maormors were in possession of the celebrated Macbeth". Duncan, in 1033, desiring to extend his dominions southwards, attacked Durham, but was forced to retire with considerable loss. His principal struggles, however, were with his powerful kinsman, Thorfinn, whose success was so great that he extended his conquests as far as the Tay. "His men spread over the whole conquered country", says the Orkneyinga Saga, "and burnt every hamlet and farm, so that not a cot remained. Every man that they found they slew; but the old men and women fled to the deserts and woods, and filled the country with lamentation. Some were driven before the Norwegians and made slaves. After the Earl Thorfinn returned to his ships, subjugating the country everywhere in his progress". Duncan's last battle, in which he was defeated, was in the neighbourhood of Burghead, near the Moray Firth; and shortly after this, on the 14th August, 1040, he was assassinated n Bothgowanan, - which in Gaelic, is said to mean "the smith's hut", - by his kinsman the Maormor Macbeda or Macbeth. Duncan had reigned only five years when he was assassinated by Macbeth, leaving two infant sons, Malcolm and Donal, by a sister of Siward, the Earl of Northumberland. The former fled to Cumberland, and the latter took refuge in the Hebrides, on the death of their father.
Macbeth, "snorting with the indigested fumes of the blood of his sovereign", immendiately siezed the gory sceptre. As several fictions have been propagated concerning the history and genealogy of Macbeth, we may mention that, according to the most authentic authorities, he was by birth Thane of Ross, and by his marriage with the Lady Gruoch, who had claim to the throne, as granddaughter of Kenneth, became also Thane of Moray, during the the minority of Lulach, the infant son of that lady, by her former marriage with Gilcomgain, the Maormor or Thane of Moray. Lady Gruocj was the daughter of Boedhe, son of Kenneth IV; and thus Macbeth united in his own person many powerful interests which enabled him to take quiet possession of the throne of the murdered sovereign. He, of course, found no difficulty in getting himself inaugurated at Scone, under the protection of the clans of Moray and Ross, and the aid of those who favoured the pretensions of the descendants of Kenneth IV.
Various attempts were makde on the part of the partisans of Malcolm, son of Duncan, to dispossess Macbeth of the throne. The most formidable was that of Siward, the powerful Earl of Northumberland, and the relation of Malcolm, who, at the instigation or command of Edward the Confessor, led a numerous army into Scotland in the year 1054. They marched as far  0975 - 1045 Abbot Of Dunkeld Crinan 70 70 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Mormaer Of Atholl

King of the Picts and Scots (Alba), also called MALCOLM MACDONALD. Malcolm succeeded to the crown when his cousin Constantine II entered a monastery (943). He annexed Moray to the kingdom for the first time. After driving the Danes from York, the English king Edmund turned Cumbria over to Malcolm, apparently as a fief or seal of alliance. Later, when Norsemen again invaded the land, the Scots sent raids against the English, and in 954 the West Saxon king Eadred reunited the northern counties to his dominions. Malcolm was slain the same year at Fordoun in the Mearns in a breif conflict with his own northern regions.
General History of the Highlands
Malcolm I to Malcom II 1020
http://www.electricscotland.com/history/genhist/hist22.html
Malcolm I, the son of Donald IV, obtained the abdicated throne. He was a prince of great abilities and prudence, and Edmund of England courted his alliance by ceding Cumbria, the consisting of Cumberland and part of Westmorland, to him, in the year 945, on condition that he would defend that northern county, and become an ally of Edmund. Edred, the brother and successor of Edmund, accordingly applied for, and obtained the aid of Malcolm against Anlaf, king of Northumberland, whose country, according to the barbarous practice of the times, he wasted, and carried off the people with their cattle. Malcolm, after putting down an insurrection of the Moray-men under Cellach, their Maormor, or chief, whom he slew, was sometimes thereafter slain, as is supposed, at Ulurn or Auldearn in Moray, by one of these men, in revenge for the death of his chief.
Indulph, the son of Constantine III, succeeded the murdered monarch in the year 953. He sustained many severe conflicts with the Danes, and ultimately lost his life in 961, after a reign of eight years, in a successful action with these pirates, on the moor which lies to the westward of Cullen.
Duff, the son of Malcolm I, now mounted the throne; but Culen, the son of Indulph, laid claim to the sceptre which his father had wielded. The parties met at Drum Crup (probably Crief), and, after a doubtful struggle, in which Doncha, the Abbot of Dunkeld, and Dubdou, the Maormor of Athole, the partisans of Culen, lost their lives, victory declared for Duff. But this triumph was of short duration, for Duff was afterwards obliged to retreat from Forteviot into the north, and was assassinated at Forres in the year 965, after a bried and unhappy reign of four years and a half.
Culen, the son of Indulph, succeeded, as a matter of course, to the crown of Duff, which he stained by his vices. He and his brother Eocha were slain in Lothian, in an action with the Britons of Strathclyde in 970, after an inglorious reign of four years and a half. During his reign Edinburgh was captured from the English, this being the first known step in the progress of the gradual extension of the Scottish kingdom between the Forth and the Tweed.
Kenneth III, son of Malcolm I, and brother of Duff, succeeded Culen the same year. He waged a successful war against the Britons of Srathclyde, and annexed their territories to his kingdom. During his reign the Danes meditiated an attack upon Forteviot, or Dunkeld, for the purposes of plunder, and, with this view, they sailed up the Tay with a numerous fleet. Kenneth does not appear to have been fully prepared, being probably not aware of the intentions of the enemy; but collecting as many of his chiefs and their followers as the spur of the occasion would allow, he met the Danes at Luncarty, in the vicinity of Perth. Malcolm, the Tanist, prince of Cumberland, it is said, commanded the right wing of the Scottish army; Duncan, the Maormor of Athole, had the charge of the left; and Kenneth, the king, commanded the centre. The Danes with their battle-exes made dreadful havoc, and compelled the Scottish army to give way; but the latter was rallied 0862 - 0900 II Donald 38 38 Name Suffix:<NSFX> King Of Scotland

King of the Scots (from 889), son of Constantine I and successor to Eochaid and Giric (reigned 878-889). His reign coincided with renewed invasions by the Danes, who came less to plunder and more to occupy the lands bordering Scotland and the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. He was also embroiled in efforts to reduce the highland robber tribes. By one account he was slain at Dunnottar, meeting a Danish invasion; by another he died of infirmity brought on by his campaigns against the highlanders. He was succeeded by his cousin Constantine II. ~0836 - 0875 I Constantine 39 39 Name Suffix:<NSFX> King Of Picts And Scotsi

Olaf the White, the Danish king of Dublin, laid waste the country of the Picts and Britons year after year. In the south the Danish leader Halfdan devastated Northumberland and Galloway. Constantine was slain at a battle at Inverdovat in Fife, at the hands of another band of northern marauders. His heir was his brother Aed, who was killed by the Scots after a year and was succeeded by a nephew, Eochaid. ~0810 - 6 Feb 858-859 Kenneth I Macalpin Name Suffix:<NSFX> King Of Scotland
Kenneth 1
Also called KENNETH MACALPIN (d. c. 858, Forteviot, Scot.).
MacAlpin was considered the first king of the united Scots of Dalriada and the Picts and so of Scotland north of a line between the Forth and Clyde rivers. Ancient Gaelic-speaking people of northern Ireland who settled in Scotland sometime in the 5th century AD. Originally (until the 10th century) "Scotia" denoted Ireland, and the inhabitants of Scotia were Scotti. The area of Argyll and Bute, where the migrant Scots settled, became known as the kingdom of Dalriada, the counterpart to Dalriada in Ireland. St. Columba inaugurated Christianity among them and helped raise Aidan to the kingship of Scottish Dalriada in 574. The Scots then expanded eastward into what came to be known as the Forest of Atholl and Strath Earn (valley of the River Earn) and northward into the area of Elgin. The union of the lands of modern Scotland began in 843, when Kenneth I MacAlpin, king of the Scots (Dalriada), became also king of the Picts and, within a few years, joined "Pict-land" to "Scot-land" to form the kingdom of Alba. By 1034, by inheritance and warfare, the Scots had secured hegemony over not only Alba but also Lothian, Cumbria, and Strathclyde--roughly the territory of modern mainland Scotland. In 1305 the kingdom was divided into Scotland, Lothian, and Galloway; in the 14th century Scotland came to be the name for the whole land, and all its inhabitants were called Scots, whatever their origin.
Little is known about his father Alpin, though tradition credits him with a victory over the Picts who killed him three months later, displaying his severed head at their camp. (c.834). Kenneth succeeded him in Dalriada and ruled in Pictavia also, ruling for 16 years. This period is obscure but the gradual union of the two kingdoms from 843 is no doubt due to much intermarriage. By the Pictish marriage custom, inheritance passed through the female. Nevertheless, Kenneth probably made some conquests among the eastern Picts and possibly invaded Lothian and burned Dunbar and Melrose. After attacks on Iona by Vikings he removed relics of St. Columba, probably in 849 or 850, to Dunkeld, which became the headquarters of the Scottish Columban church. He died at Forteviot, not far from Scone in Pictish territory, and was buried on the island of Iona.
Dalriada
Dalridia is the Gaelic kingdom that, at least from the 5th century AD, extended on both sides of the North Channel and composed the northern part of the present County Antrim, Northern Ireland, and part of the Inner Hebrides and Argyll, in Scotland. In earlier times, Argyll had received extensive immigration from the Irish, known as Scoti, of Northern Ireland and had become an Irish (i.e., "Scottish") area. In the latter half of the 5th century, the ruling family of Irish Dalriada crossed into Scottish Dalriada and made Dunadd and Dunolly its chief strongholds. Irish Dalriada gradually declined; and after the Viking invasions early in the 9th century, it lost all political identity. Despite heavy onslaughts from the Picts, the Dalriada of the Scottish mainland continued to expand. In the mid-9th century its king Kenneth I MacAlpin brought the Picts permanently under Dalriadic rule, and thereafter the whole country was known as Scotland.
Picts
(from Latin Picti, "painted"). One of an ancient people who lived in what is now Eastern and Northeastern Scotland, from Caithness to Fife. Their name may refer to their custom of body painting or possibly tattooing.

Edmund I, byname EDMUND THE DEED-DOER, Latin EDMUNDUS MAGNIFICUS (b. 921--d. May 26, 946, Pucklechurch, Eng.), king of the English (939-946), who recaptured areas of northern England that had been occupied by the Vikings.
He was the son of the West Saxon king Edward the Elder (reigned 899-924) and the half brother of King Athelstan (reigned 924-939), under whom the political unification of England had been accomplished. On Athelstan's death (939), Olaf Guthfrithson, the Norse king of Dublin, occupied Northumbria and raided the Midlands.
Edmund recovered the Midlands after Olaf died in 942, and in 944 he regained Northumbria, driving out the Norse kings Olaf Sihtricson and Raegnald. He captured Strathclyde in 945 and entrusted it to Malcolm I, king of Scots, in return for a promise of military support. Thus, Edmund inaugurated a policy of establishing a secure frontier and peaceful relations with Scotland. In addition, his reign marks the beginning of the 10th-century monastic revival in England. The king was killed in his palace by an exiled robber and was succeeded by his brother, Eadred (reigned 946-955); Edmund's sons eventually acceded to power as kings Eadwig (reigned 957-959) and Edgar (reigned 959-975).

Name Suffix:<NSFX> King West Saxons
ALFRED THE GREAT (849-899), the most justly celebrated of all Anglo-Saxon rulers, was King of Wessex from 871 until 899. Alfred was born at Wantage in 849, the youngest son of King Ethelwulf of Wessex and his first wife, Osburh. The short reigns and early deaths of his elder brothers Ethelbald (858-850), Ethelbert (860-865) and Ethelred I (865-871) brought Alfred to the throne of Wessex at the age of about twenty-two in 871.
Alfred's lifetime was overshadowed by the Danish invasions of England. Between 865 and 870 the Danes had conquered the kingdoms of East Anglia and Northumbria and had forced Mercia into submission. In 870 they decided to move against Wessex and established themselves in winter quarters at Reading. Five battles were fought in the winter and early spring of 870-871, at Englefield, Reading, Ashdown, Basing and the unidentified Meretun. Of these only Ashdown was a West Saxon victory. Shortly after the last battle the Danes were reinforced by another Viking army. At the time of Alfred's accession in April 871 the advantage lay firmly with the invaders. For the new king the outlook was bleak, and it was to remain so for some time. In May Alfred was defeated again, at Wilton, after which he decided to capitulate as the Mercians had done. A contemporary put the best interpretation on it that he could: "the Saxons made peace with the Vikings on condition that they would leave them; and this they did." What this almost certainly means is that Alfred paid them to go away; what later generations were to call paying Danegeld.
The Danes kept their word. Between 871 and 875 they busied themselves with Mercia and Northumberland. A second invasion of Wessex occurred in 876-77. Under their leader Guthrum, the Danes struck deeper than ever before into Wessex, and established themselves first at Wareham in Dorset and then at Exeter. Once more Alfred was forced to buy peace from them and they withdrew across the Mercian border in the summer of 877 to a new base at Gloucester. A third invasion followed soon. In January 878 the Danes entered Wessex, settled at Chippenham and subjected large areas of the kingdom to their authority. With only a small following Alfred fled to the west and found refuge at Athelney in Somerset, in the marshy country of the Parrett valley. (The episode of Alfred and the cakes, first committed to writing about a century after his death, was located during the retreat at Athelney.) Had the king died at this point he would be remembered, if at all, only as a failure.
But Alfred survived and prospered. During the spring of 878 he quietly mustered troops and from the fortress which he had constructed at Athelney he waged guerilla war upon the Danes. By May he was ready to challenge them openly. He advanced eastwards, gathering support from the county levies of Somerset, Wiltshire and Hampshire as he went. They encountered Guthrum's army at Edington in Wiltshire and decisively defeated it, pursuing the survivors as far as their stronghold at Chippenham. After a fortnight the Danes surrendered. Their leader Guthrum was baptized a Christian in June and they swore to leave Wessex in peace, a promise which they carried out later in the year. Alfred had won the struggle for survival.
Towards the end of 884 part of a Viking army which had been campaigning in Francia crossed the Channel to Kent and laid siege to Rochester. Alfred relieved the town and eventually managed to chase the intruders back to the Continent. Guthrum's followers, settled in East Anglia since 880, had assisted the Vikings from the Continent, and it was in an attempt to neutralise them that Alfred sent a naval force against East Anglia in the summer of 885, which had mixed success, and in 886 occupied London. Shortly afterwards he made a peace-treaty with Guthrum. Apart from these events, during the fourteen years between 878 and 892 Wessex was unmolested. These were ~0806 - 13 Jan 856-857 King Of Wessex Aethelwulf AETHELWULF, king of the West Saxons, succeeded his father, Egbert, in A.D. 839. Aelthelwulf's reign was chiefly occupied with struggles against the Danes. After the king's defeat 843-844, the Somerset and Dorset levies won a victory at the mouth of the Parret (c. 850). In 851 Ceorl, with the men of Devon, defeated the Danes at Wigganburg, and Aethelstan of Kent was victorious at Sandwich; despite this the Danes wintered in England that year for the first time. In 851 also Aethelwulf and Aethelbald won their great victory at Aclea, probably the modern Ockley. In 853 Aelthelwulf subdued the North Welsh, in answer to the appeal of Burgred of Mercia, and gave him his daughter Aethelswith in marriage. The year 855 is the date of the Donation of Aethelwulf and of his journey to Rome with Alfred. On his way home he married Judith, daughter of Charles the Bold. According to Aser he was compelled to give up Wessex to his son Aethelbald on his return, and content himself with the eartern under-kingdom. He died in 858. [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1961 ed., Vol. 1, p. 276, AETHELFULF]
---------------
Aethelwulf, also spelled ETHELWULF (d. 858), Anglo-Saxon king in England, the father of King Alfred the Great. As ruler of the West Saxons from 839 to 856, he allied his kingdom of Wessex with Mercia and thereby withstood invasions by Danish Vikings.
The son of the great West Saxon king Egbert (ruled 802-839), Aethelwulf ascended the throne four years after the Danes had begun large-scale raids on the English coast. In 851 he scored a major victory over a large Danish army at a place called Aclea in Surrey. Aethelwulf then married his daughter to the Mercian king Burgred (853), and in 856 he himself married the daughter of Charles II the Bald, king of the West Franks. Aethelwulf was deposed by a rival faction upon his return from a pilgrimage to Rome in 856, but he continued to rule Kent and several other eastern provinces until his death. In addition to Alfred the Great (ruled 871-899), three of Aethelwulf's four other sons became kings of Wessex 0775 - 4 Feb 837-838 King Of Wessex Egbert EGBERT (d. 839) was King of Wessex from 802 until 839. He claimed descent from Ingild, a brother of King Ine of Wessex. His father was a certain Ealhmund who ruled briefly in Kent c. 784 in opposition to Offa of Mercia. When King Cynewulf of Wessex died in 786, Egbert disputed with Beorhtric for possession of the kingdom. Beorhtric, Offa's protégé, came out on top and Egbert departed into exile at the Frankish court. On Beorhtric's death in 802 Egbert returned and established himself as King of Wessex in a successful revolt against Mercian ascendancy.
Egbert ruled an independent Wessex for the next twenty-three years, of which we have little record. This was succeeded by a period of frenzied activity. In 825 he defeated King Beornwulf of Mercia at the battle of Ellendun (probably Wroughton in Wiltshire) and immediately afterwards send his son Ethelwulf eastwards to wrest Kent, Surrey, Sussex and Essex from Mercian overlordship. He also received an appeal for protection from the East Anglians who had rebelled against the Mercians. The Mercian empire seemed to be falling apart as rival claimants contended for kingship over the next few years. In 829 Egbert conquered Mercia and went on to lay waste part of Northumbria and exact submission and tribute from its king Eanred. For a short period he was overlord of all the English kingdoms. But in 830 Mercia threw off West Saxon lordship and for the rest of his reign Egbert's direct authority was restricted to Wessex and the south east.
In has sometimes been claimed that Egbert was the first 'King of all England.' But this is absurd. The notion is based upon the treatment of Egbert in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, put together in the form in which we have it at the court of Egbert's grandson Alfred and concerned above all else to magnify the exploits of the West Saxon royal dynasty. Mercian supremacy did not end with Offa. Ninth-century Mercia may have become subject to dynastic instability---and which Anglo-Saxon kingdom had not?---but it could still produce some imposing rulers such as Cernwulf (796-821), Wiglaf [827-40] and Beorhtwulf [840-52]. Further to the north the Northumbrian King Eanred [808-40] continued to rule a kingdom stretching from the Humber to the First of Forth: the submission to Egbert in 829 had no lasting effect.
Nevertheless, Egbert's reign is an important one. In the first place, he consolidated West Saxon domination over the remaining British princes of the south-west in a series of campaigns in 815, 825, 830 and 838. Secondly, his annexation of south-eastern England in 825 was to be permanent. Kent became a dependency where West Saxon princes could learn the business of kingship; just as Egbert entrusted Kent to his son Ethelwulf, so after his accession in 839 Ethelwulf placed his son Athelstan in authority there. Egbert and Ethelwulf were at pains to cultivate good relations with the archbishops of Canterbury; they had learnt the lessons of Offa's failure in this respect. In particular, they tried to ensure that the See of Canterbury should be well-disposed not just to individual kings of Wessex but to the dynasty as a whole; in their own words in a charter of 838, 'that we and our heirs for ever afterwards may have firm and unbroken friendship from the archbishop and all his successors.' They wanted to break free from the snares of dynastic instability and discontinuity which plagued Mercia, Northumbria and their Frankish neighbours over the Channel. That they succeeded in doing so no doubt owed much to luck, but also something to shrewd management. Finally, Egbert showed that he could cope with new enemies, the Vikings. They ravaged the Island of Sheppey in 835, and defeated him at Carhampton in 836. But when in 838 they made common cause with the Britons of the south-west Egbert defeated them at Hingston Down in Cornwall. In the last battle of his life, Egbert showed that the Danes were vulnerable.

Ceawlin (d. 593), king of the West Saxons, or Wessex, from 560 to 592, who drove the Britons from most of southern England and carved out a kingdom in the southern Midlands.
Ceawlin helped his father, King Cynric, defeat the Britons at Beranbyrg (Barbury) in 556. In 568, eight years after he assumed the West Saxon kingship, Ceawlin and his brother Cutha severely defeated King Aethelberht I of Kent. Ceawlin's victory over the Britons at Deorham (Dyrham) in 577 led to the capture of Gloucester, Cirencester, and Bath. The valley of the lower Severn River was thereby opened to West Saxon colonists, and the Britons of Wales were cut off from their kinsmen on England's southwestern peninsula.
Nevertheless, a king named Ceol seized at least part of Ceawlin's lands in 591. After being defeated by Ceol at Woddesbeorg (or Wodnesbeorg; now Adam's Grave in Wiltshire) in 592, Ceawlin was driven into exile. He was killed the next year. The 8th-century historian Bede included him in his list of seven successive rulers who were overlords (bretwaldas) of all the lands south of the Humber. ~0519 - ~0560 King Of Wessex Cynric 41 41 Ascended in 534, upon the death of his father, Cerdic. Fought the Britons at Sarum in 552. Fought,with his son, Ceawlin in 556 at the Battle of Beranbury.
Cynric (d. 560), king of the West Saxons, or Wessex (from 534). By some accounts he also reigned jointly (519-534) with his grandfather (or father?), Cerdic, founder of Wessex. The period was apparently one of consolidating gains climaxed by the Battle of Mount Badon (520) rather than a period of further expansion, though Cynric is said to have routed Britons in battle at least once, at a place called Searobyrg (552). He was succeeded by his son Ceawlin. D. ~0534 King Of Wessex Cerdic 1st King of West Saxons. Crowned at Winchester 532. Some say he ascended in 519. Founded a settlement on the west coast of Hampshire, England in 495. Assumed the title of King of the West Saxons in 519. Cerdic and his son, Cynric, conquered the Isle of Wight in 534.
CERDIC (fl. c 490-530?) was remembered in later Anglo-Saxon tradition as the first Germanic king of Wessex. The annals of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle record some very dubious traditions of his military exploits which are assigned dates between 495 and 534. The most intriguing thing about this shadowy personage is his name, which is not Germanic but Celtic; compare, for example, the king Cerdic of the British kingdom of Elmet in the early seventh century. Whatever may be the implications---and the possibilities are manifold---the presence of this anomalous name in the genealogies did not embarrass those who claimed to be his descendants: 'his kin goes back to Cerdic' was a regular boast of the chroniclers who recorded the doings of later kings of Wessex.
If the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle is to be believed, Cerdic's operations occurred in that area of Hampshire and south Wiltshire extending northwards from Southampton towards Winchester and Salisbury. The rather meagre archaeological record of the early Anglo-Saxon period confirms that this region was one nucleus of the later kingdom of Wessex. Archaeology reveals much thicker Germanic settlement of the upper Thames valley, notably around Dorchester-on-Thames which was later, significantly, to be the site of the first West Saxon bishropric under Birinus; but on the early traditions of this region the literary sources are silent. It is a reminder (if one were needed) that the origins of the political entity later known as the kingdom of Wessex were more complex and diverse than we shall ever know.

----------
Cerdic (d. 534), founder of the West Saxon kingdom, or Wessex. All the sovereigns of England except Canute, Hardecanute, the two Harolds, and William the Conqueror are said to be descended from him. A Continental ealdorman who in 495 landed in Hampshire, Cerdic was attacked at once by the Britons. Nothing more is heard of him until 508, when he defeated the Britons with great slaughter. Strengthened by fresh arrivals of Saxons, he gained another victory in 519 at Certicesford, a spot which has been identified with the modern Charford, and in this year took the title of king. Turning westward, Cerdic appears to have been defeated by the Britons in 520 at Badbury or Mount Badon, in Dorset, and in 527 yet another fight with the Britons is recorded. His last work was the conquest of the Isle of Wight, probably in the interest of some Jutish allies.

Background.
After the death of Dagobert I in 639, there had been no king of any worth in the Frankish kingdom. All of them were of the Merovingian line--idle, slothful, and bent on ease and luxury. The burden of rule lay upon the mayors of the palace, who in reality governed Austrasia, the eastern part of the Frankish kingdom, and Neustria, its western portion. These mayors not only controlled routine in the royal palace but also directed the political, social, and commercial life of the Franks. Neustria bitterly resented its conquest and annexation in 687 by Pepin of Herstal, mayor of Austrasia and father of Charles Martel, at the Battle of Tertry (Testry), near Péronne.
When in 714 Pepin of Herstal died, he left as heirs three grandsons, his legitimate children all being dead. Until his grandchildren 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 a struggle for control at once began between him and Plectrude.
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 an enemy of the Franks, Radbod, king of the Frisians in Holland, in order to eliminate Charles. Plectrude managed to imprison Charles, but he escaped, gathered an army, defeated King Chilperic and Mayor Ragenfrid, and conquered the hostile Neustrians. His success made resistance by Plectrude and the Austrasians useless; realizing the spirit and power of young Charles, they submitted, and by 719 Charles alone governed the Franks as mayor. Peace and order reigned in Austrasia and Neustria, so that by 724 Charles was free to deal with hostile elements elsewhere. This involved expeditions against the Saxons and the peoples of the lands near the Rhine and the Danube.
Battle of Poitiers.
Charles next crossed the Loire into Aquitaine, where one Eudes (Odo) was duke. Eudes, once an ally of Charles, had become disloyal and promptly called to his aid the Saracens, Moors from Africa, who, entering Spain in 711, had soon conquered it and were now (732) threatening Gaul. Led by their king, 'Abd ar-Rahman, they marched for Bordeaux, there to burn churches and to plunder. From Bordeaux they went across Aquitaine to Poitiers. It was outside this city that Charles Martel came upon them and put them to flight.
In 733 Charles forced Burgundy to yield to his rule, and in 734 he subdued the Frisians. During 735 word arrived that Eudes was dead, and Charles marched rapidly across the Loire River in order to make his power felt around Bordeaux. In 736 he fought to secure his conquest of Burgundy, and there were further engagements against the Saracens during the 730s.
Charles Martel's 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 had maintained the fiction of Merovingian rule all of his life, refraining from transferring the royal title to his own dynasty ~0654 A Concubine Aupais ~0522 Bishop Of Tongres Gondolfus Name Suffix:<NSFX> Saint ~0500 - 0532 Lord Of Vitrey Munderic 32 32 Revolted against Theuderic [Thierry] I, who killed him.

By taking advantage of his great influence with the Visigoths who were settled at Toulouse, Avitus was able in 451 to persuade their king, Theodoric I, to join the Roman general Aetius in repelling the invasion of Gaul by the Huns under Attila. Avitus was appointed magister utriusque militiae ("master of both services") by the Western emperor Petronius Maximus (reigned 455). When Maximus was killed, the Goths proclaimed Avitus emperor at Toulouse, and this claim was upheld by the Gallo-Romans at Arles. The new emperor proceeded to Rome but was forced by the general Ricimer to abdicate (Oct. 17, 456) and to become bishop of Placentia. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97]

"The next emperor was proclaimed not in Italy but in Gaul. This was Avitus, the friend and nominee of the Visigothic king Theoderic II, who was proclaimed emperor in July 455 at Tolosa (modern Toulouse), where Theoderic had established his court. The following year, however, the Suevian army commander Ricimer rebelled at Ravenna. Avitus marched against him but was captured in battle at Placentia (modern Piacenza) in October 456. Ricimer neutralized him by making him bishop of Placentia, but Avitus was soon forced to flee back to Gaul and died shortly afterwards. Avitus's overthrow and murder was followed by an 18-month interregnum while Ricimer made futile attempts to win recognition for his chosen successor Majorian from the eastern emperor Leo I (457-474)."

CLOVIS (Chlodovech) (c. 466-511], king of the Salian Franks, son of Childeric I, whom he succeeded in 481. At that date the Salian Franks had advanced as far as the river Somme, and the centre of their power was at Tournai. On this history of Clovis between the years 481 and 486 the records are silent. In 486 he attacked Syagrius, a Roman general who, after the fall of the western empire in 476, had carved out for himself a principality south of the Somme, and is called by Gregory of Tours "rex Romanorum." After being defeated by Clovis at the battle of Soissons, Syagrius sought refuge with the Visigothic king Alaric II, who handed him over to the conqueror. Henceforth Clovis fixed his residence at Soissons, which was in the midst of public lands, e.g., Berny-Rivière, Juvigny, etc. The episode of the vase of Soissons has a legendary character, and all that it proves is the deference shown by the pagan king to the orthodox clergy. Clovis undoubtedly extended his dominion over the whole of Belgica Secunda, of which Reims was the capital, and conquered the neighbouring cities. Little is known of the history of these conquests. It appears that St. Geneviève defended the town of Paris against Clovis for a long period, and that Verdun-sur-Meuse, after a brief stand, accepted an honourable capitulation thanks to St. Euspitius. In 491 some barbarian troops in the service of Rome, Arboruchi Thuringians, and even Roman soldiers who could not return to Rome, went over to Clovis and swelled the ranks of his army.
In 493 Clovis married a Burgundian princess, Clotilda, niece of Gundobald and Godegesil, joint kings of Burgundy. This princess was a Christian, and earnestly desired the conversion of her husband. Although Clovis allowed his children to be baptized, he remained a pagan himself until the war against the Alamanni, who at the time occupied the country between the Vosges and the Rhine and the neighbourhood of Lake Constance. By pushing their incursions westward they came into collision with Clovis who marched against them and defeated them in the plain of the Rhine. The legend runs that, in the thickest of the fight, Clovis swore that he would be converted to the God of Clotilda if her God would grant him the victory. After subduing a part of the Alamanni, Clovis went to Reims, where he was baptized by St. Remigius on Christmas day 496, together with 3,000 Franks. The story of the phial of holy oil brought from heaven by a white dove for the baptism of Clovis was invented by archbishop Hincmar of Reims three centuries after the event.
The baptism of Clovis was an event of very great importance. From that time the orthodox Christians in the kingdom of the Burgundians and Visigoths looked to Clovis to deliver them from their Arian kings. Clovis seems to have failed in the case of Burgundy, which was at that time torn by the rivalry between Godegesil and his brother Gundobald. Godegesil appealed for help to Clovis, who defeated Gundobald on the banks of the Ouche near Dijon, and advanced as far as Avignon (500), but had to retire without being able to retain any of his conquests. Immediately after his departure Gundobald slew Godegesil at Vienne, and seized the whole of the Burgundian kingdom. Clovis was more fortunate in his war with the Visigoths. Having completed the subjugation of the Alamanni in 506, he marched against the Visigothic king Alaric II in the following year in spite of the efforts of Theodoric, king of the Ostrogoths, to prevent the war. After a decisive victory at Vouillé near Poitiers, in which Clovis slew Alaric with his own hand, the whole of the kingdom of the Visigoths as far as the Pyrenees was added to the Frankish empire, with the exception of Septimania, which, together with Spain, remained in possession of Alaric's grandson, Amalaric, and Provence, which was seized by Theodoric and annexed to Italy. In 508 Clovis received at Tours the insignia of the consulsh ~0436 - 0481 I Childeric 45 45 Name Suffix:<NSFX> King Of The Salian Franks
CHILDERIC I (c. 437-481), king of the Salian Franks, succeeded his father, Merwech (Merovech), as king about 457. With his tribe he was established around the town of Tournai on lands which he had received as a 'foederatus' of the Romans, and for some time he kept the peace with his allies. About 463, in conjunction with the Roman general Egidius, he assisted Count Paul in attempting to check an invasion of the Saxons. Paul having perished in the struggle, Childeric defended Angers against the Saxons, recovered from them the islands they had seized at the mouth of the Loire and destroyed their forces. The Saxon chief Odoacer now agreed to serve the Romans and the two chieftains, now reconciled, intercepted a band of the Alamanni. These are all the facts known about him. The stories of his early life by the Franks, of his stay of eight years in Thuringia with King Basin and his wife (or sister) Basine, of his return when a faithful servant advised him that he could safely do so by sending to him half of a piece of gold which he had broken with him and of the arrival at Tournai of Queen Basine, whom he married, are presevered by Gregory of Tours, and have found a place in French epic poetry. After the fall of the western empire in 476 there is no doubt that Childeric regarded himself as freed from his engagements toward Rome. He died in 481 and was buried at Tournai, leaving a son Clovis, afterward king of the Franks. His tomb was discovered in 1653, when numerous precious objects, arms, jewels, coins and a ring with his name and the image of along-haired warrior, were found ~0405 - 0458 King Of The Salian Franks Merovech 53 53 Ruled BET. 448 - 457 King of the Salian Franks 3
MEROVECH, an early king of the Salian Franks, who succeeded to Clodio in the middle of the 5th century, and soon became a legendary figure. At the great battle of Mauriac (the Catalaunian fields), in which Aetius checked the invasion of the Huns (451), there were present in the Roman army a number of Frankish foederati, and a later authority states that Merovech (Merovaeus) was their leader.

On the death of Gundioc, king of the Burgundians, in 473, his sons Gundobald, Godegesil, and Chilperic divided his heritage. At Lyons an epitaph has been discovered of a Burgundian queen who died in 506 and was most probably the mother of Clotilda. Clotilda was brought up in the orthodox faith. Her uncle, Gundobald, was asked for her hand in marriage by the Frankish king, Clovis, who had just conquered northern Gaul, and the marriage was celebrated about 493. On this event many romantic stories, all more of less embroidered, are to be found in the works of Gregory of Tours and the chronicler Fredegarius, and in the "Liber historiae Francorum." Clothilda did not rest until her husband had abjured paganism and embraced the othodox Christian faith (496). With him she built at Paris the church of the Holy Apostles, afterward known as Ste. Geneviève. After the death of Clovis in 511 she retired to the abbey of St. Martin at Tours. In 523 she incited her sons against her uncle Gundobald and provoked the Burgundian war. In the following years she tried in vain to protect the claims of her sons Childebert I and Clotaire I, and was equally unsuccessful in her efforts to prevent the civil discords between her children. She died in 544, and was buried at her husband's side in the church of the Holy Apostles. [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1961 ed., Vol. 5, pg. 848, CLOTILDA, SAINT.]

Clotilda, SAINT, also spelled CLOTILDE, CHLOTHILDE, CHLOTILDE, CHRODECHILDE, CHRODIGILD, or CHROTECHILDIS (d. June 3, c. 545, Tours, Fr.; feast day June 3), queen consort of Clovis I, king of the Franks, in whose momentous conversion to Christianity she played a notable part.
Clotilda was the granddaughter of Gundioc, king of Burgundy, who was related to the Visigothic kings and shared their Arian Christian faith. At Gundioc's death his kingdom was divided between his four sons, Gundobad, Godegesil, Chilperic, and Gundomar. Clotilda's father Chilperic and her mother were murdered by Gundobad, and Clotilda and her sister took refuge with Godegesil in Geneva. Clovis, hearing good reports of Clotilda, obtained Gundobad's permission for their marriage in 493. She bore him four sons, Ingomer and the future kings Clodomir, Childebert I, and Chlotar I.
Clotilda was tireless in urging her husband to renounce his idols and acknowledge the true God; his final decision (498?) was made to honour a vow taken during a battle against the Alemanni. After Clovis' death (511), she retired to Tours and became famous for her sanctity of life, generosity to the church, and charity work. She was buried beside Clovis in the church, now Sainte-Geneviève, that they had cofounded in Paris[blended.FTW]

Clotilda was the younger daughter of King Chilperic II of the Burgundians. On her father's murder by her uncles, she and her sister Chroma escaped Burgundy. Clotilda married Clovis, King of the Franks, in 493 and had with him five children. She was the person primarily responsible for Clovis' conversion to Christianity, and, therefore, the conversion of all of France. At Clovis' death in 511, Clotilda went into a monastery at Tours where she stayed until her death in 545. She was canonized a few years after her death, and her traditional feast day is June 3.[Fix.FTW]

The historical Gunther led the Burgundians across the Rhine in the early 5th century, establishing a kingdom at Worms. He supported the imperial usurper Jovinus (411) and fell in battle against the Huns in 437.
Gunther (called Gunnar) figures in the Eddaic poem Atlakvida, in which he is slain by Atli (Attila) the Hun and avenged by his sister, Atli's wife. In the 11th-century Latin poem (Waltharius), he and his warriors try unsuccessfully to kill the hero (Walter of Aquitaine) and steal his treasure. The 12th-century German epic Nibelungenlied associates him with Siegfried, who helps Gunther to win Brunhild and in return marries Gunther's sister Kriemhild. When Siegfried is later killed on Gunther's order, Kriemhild revenges his death by having Gunther and his followers slain while visiting the court of her second husband, Etzel (Attila) ~0360 Giolohar De Burgundy ~0340 Godomar De Burgundy ~0315 Gibica De Burgundy UNKNOWN Gundomar Still Living.

Theudebert and Childebert then made peace and agreed to attack their rival Chlotar. Natural disasters prevented an attack, however, so the two kings were forced to move on to other thinks. Childebert decided to turn his attention to Spain, where he took much land in the Pyrenees. Childebert died in 558, and his kingdom passed to Chlotar, now King of all the Franks.

King of Soissons 561-584
When Chlotar, King of the Franks, died in 561 he divided the kingdom among his four sons: Chilperic received Soissons. Right away, in 562, Chilperic invaded the lands of his brother King Sigebert I of Metz, thus starting the civil wars. Sigebert advanced all the way to the city of Soissons, exiled Chilperic's son Theudebert, and forced a peace treaty out of Chilperic. In 567, their brother King Charibert I of Paris died, the kingdom was partitioned among the two and their other brother King Guntram of Burgundy, and Chilperic immediately invaded Sigebert's legal share, but was defeated.
Chilperic next allied with Guntram against Sigebert (who was in the midst of a war with Guntram). As hostilities mounted, Guntram swiched his alliance to Sigebert and Chilperic surrendered. The same exact thing happened the next year, 575, when Guntram again allied with Chilperic. That year, Sigebert died and left his kingdom to his son Childebert II. Chilperic banished Sigebert's wife Brunhild, took her money, and imprisoner her daughters. Chilperic then renewed hostilities with Guntram. In that year, Guntram's general Mummolus defeated Duke Desidarius, Chilperic's senior general. In 577, Guntram and Childebert made an alliance, demanding all of the lands Chilperic took from them. When the dysentery epidemic swept through Gaul in 580, Chilperic not only lost two sons but became ill himself. However, by the next year he was doing better and was able to make peace with Childebert. That year, as Chilperic had no sons of his own, he named his nephew, King Childebert II of Austrasia, his successor. A war with Guntram began and ended this year in which Duke Desidarius took many cities from the kingdom of Burgundy. In 582, Chilperic and Fredegund had another son, Theuderic, who died two years later. In 584, Chilperic was assassinated. He died at peace with his brother Guntram and at war with his nephew and alleged successor Childebert, but left a son born that very year: Chlotar.

In 567, their brother King Charibert I of Paris died, the kingdom was partitioned among the two and their other brother King Guntram of Burgundy, and Chilperic immediately invaded Sigebert's legal share, but was defeated.
Chilperic next allied with Guntram against Sigebert (who was in the midst of a war with Guntram). As hostilities mounted, Guntram swiched his alliance to Sigebert and Chilperic surrendered. The same exact thing happened the next year, 575, when Guntram again allied with Chilperic. That year, Sigebert died and left his kingdom to his son Childebert II. Chilperic banished Sigebert's wife Brunhild, took her money, and imprisoner her daughters. Chilperic then renewed hostilities with Guntram. In that year, Guntram's general Mummolus defeated Duke Desidarius, Chilperic's senior general. In 577, Guntram and Childebert made an alliance, demanding all of the lands Chilperic took from them. When the dysentery epidemic swept through Gaul in 580, Chilperic not only lost two sons but became ill himself. However, by the next year he was doing better and was able to make peace with Childebert. That year, as Chilperic had no sons of his own, he named his nephew, King Childebert II of Austrasia, his successor. A war with Guntram began and ended this year in which Duke Desidarius took many cities from the kingdom of Burgundy. In 582, Chilperic and Fredegund had another son, Theuderic, who died two years later.

Theodoric III (d. 690/691), Merovingian ruler who succeeded his brother Chlotar III as king of Neustria and Burgundy in 673, at the instigation of Ebroïn, the Neustrian mayor of the palace. He was soon deposed by another brother, Childeric II, was restored in 675, then was momentarily deposed
again in favour of a certain Clovis (allegedly Chlotar III's son), but recovered his throne in 676 and finally (679) also became king of Austrasia.

Clovis II (b. c. 634--d. October or November 657), Merovingian Frankish king of Neustria and Burgundy from 639, the son of Dagobert I. He was dominated successively by Aega and by Erchinoald, Neustrian mayors of the palace 0602 - 9 Jan 637-638 UNKNOWN Dagobert Name Suffix:<NSFX> King Of Austrasia
Name Suffix:<NSFX> I
In 623 his father established him as king of the region east of the Ardennes, and in 626 revived for him the ancient kingdom of Austrasia, minus Aquitaine and Provence. As Dagobert was but yet a child, he was placed under the authority of the mayor of the palace, Pepin, and Arnulf, bishop of Metz. At the death of Clotaire II in 628, Dagobert wished to re-establish unity in the Frankish realm, and in 629 and 630 make expeditions into Neustria and Burgundy, where he succeeded on the whole in securing the recognition of his authority. In Aquitaine he gave his brother Caribert the administration of the counties of Toulouse, Cahors, Agen, Pérogeux and Saintes; but at Caribert's death in 632 Dagobert became sole ruler of the whole of the Frankish territories south of the Loire. Under him the Merovingian monarchy attained its culminating point. He restored to the royal domain the lands that had been usurped by the great nobles and by the church; he maintained at Paris a luxurious, though, from the example he himself set, a disorderly court; he was a patron of the arts and delighted in the exquisite craftsmanship of his treasurer, the goldsmith, St. Eloi. His authority was recognized through the length and breadth of the realm. The duke of the Basques came to his court to swear fidelity, and at his villa at Clichy the chief of the Bretons of Domnoné promised obedience. He intervened in the affairs of the Visigoths of Spain and the Lombards of Italy, and was heard with deference. Indeed, as a sovereign, Dagobert was reckoned superior to the other barbarian kings. He entered into relations with the eastern empire, and swore a "perpetual peace" with the emperor Heraclius; and it is probable that the two sovereigns took common measures against the Slav and Burgundian tribes which ravaged in turn the Byzantine state and the German territories subject to the Franks. Dagobert protected the church and placed illustrious prelates at the head of the bishoprics---Eloi (Eligius) at Noyon, Ouen (Audoenus) at Rouen and Didier (Desiderius) at Cahors. His reign is also marked by the creation of numerous monasteries and by renewed missionary activity in Flanders and among the Basques. He died on Jan 9, 639, as was buried at St. Denis. After his death the Frankish monarchy was again divided. In 634 he had been obliged to give the Austrasians a special king in the person of his eldest son Sigebert, and at the birth of a second son, Colvis, in 635, the Neustrians had immediately claimed him as king. Thus the unification of the realm, which Dagobert had re-established with so much pains, was anulled. ~0590 UNKNOWN Balthild UNKNOWN Saint Amalaberga Still Living. ~0590 UNKNOWN Wandregisil ~0560 UNKNOWN Walchisus ~0560 UNKNOWN Waldrada ~0590 UNKNOWN Farahild ~0560 UNKNOWN Hemanfried UNKNOWN Angila Still Living. ~0650 Count Adelheim ~0740 UNKNOWN Theoderata ~1025 - 21 Jan 1091-1092 Sophia Of Bar Name Suffix:<NSFX> Heiress Of Bar Matilda Of Normandy Still Living. ~0903 I Dietrich Name Suffix:<NSFX> Count Of West Friesland ~0882 UNKNOWN Mathilda ~0890 - 2 Oct 934 Duke Of Lower Lorraine Giselbert 928 Duke of Lorraine 4

one of the first so-called rois fainéants ("sluggard kings") of the Merovingian dynasty, who held no real power of his own but was ruled by whoever was his mayor of the palace.
Made king of Austrasia by his father, Dagobert I, in 634, Sigebert was governed first by Bishop Chunibert of Cologne and Duke Adalgisile; then, on Dagobert's death, by Chunibert and Pepin I, the mayor of the palace (d. 640); and finally by Pepin's son, Grimoald, mayor of the palace from 642 or 643 until the king's death.
In the early 640s, when a certain Otto was mayor of the palace, Thuringia succeeded in gaining effective autonomy at Austrasian expense. After Sigebert's death, his young son, Dagobert II, was sent off to an Irish monastery by Grimoald, who briefly established his own son, Childebert (adopted by Sigebert when the king was still childless) on the throne[blended.FTW]

Henry I, also called HENRY THE FOWLER, German HEINRICH DER VOGLER (b. c. 876--d. July 2, 936, Memleben, Saxony [now in Germany]), German king and founder of the Saxon dynasty (918-1024) who strengthened the East Frankish, or German, army, encouraged the growth of towns, brought Lotharingia (Lorraine) back under German control (925), and secured German borders against pagan incursions.
The son of Otto the Illustrious, the Liudolfing duke of Saxony, Henry became duke at his father's death (912). His first marriage, to Hatheburg, daughter of Erwin, count of Merseburg, was declared invalid because she had become a nun after her first husband's death. He married Matilda, daughter of Dietrich, count of Westphalia, in 909; their eldest son would rule as the Holy Roman emperor Otto I the Great (936-973).
Although at war (912-915) with Conrad I of Franconia (German king, 903-918) over title to lands in Thuringia, Henry received Conrad's deathbed designation as heir to the throne. He was elected king of Germany (May 919) by nobles of Saxony and Franconia, two of the four most influential duchies; the other two important duchies, Swabia and Bavaria, did not recognize him as king. Henry considered Germany a confederation of duchies rather than a nation. Having complete authority in Saxony and nominal sovereignty in Franconia, he sought to bring the duchies of Swabia and Bavaria into the confederation. After forcing the submission of Burchard, duke of Swabia (919), he allowed the duke to retain control over the civil administration of the duchy. On the basis of an election by Bavarian and East Frankish nobles (919), Arnulf, duke of Bavaria, also claimed the German throne. In 921, after two military campaigns, the king forced Arnulf to submit and relinquish his claim to the throne, though the duke retained complete internal control of Bavaria.
Henry defeated Giselbert, king of Lotharingia, in 925, and that region, which had become independent of Germany in 910, was brought back under German control. Giselbert, who was recognized as duke of Lotharingia, married the king's daughter Gerberga in 928.
When the Magyars, barbarian warriors from Hungary, invaded Germany in 924, Henry agreed to pay tribute to them and return a captured Magyar chief in exchange for a nine-year (924-933) cession of raids on German territory. During these years the king built fortified towns and trained the cavalry force he used to defeat various Slavic tribes; he conquered the Havelli at Brandenburg and the Daleminzi at Meissen in 928 and suppressed a rebellion in Bohemia in 929. The king refused to pay more tribute when the nine-year truce ended in 933. He used his seasoned cavalry to destroy the Magyars, who had resumed their raids, at Riade on March 15, 933, and ended their threat to the German countryside. The king's last campaign, an invasion of Denmark (934), added the territory of Schleswig to the German state.
The story that Henry received the surname Fowler because he was laying bird snares when informed of his election as king is probably a myth. ~0836 Otto "The Illustrious Name Suffix:<NSFX> " Duke Of Saxony 0816 - 0913 Herzog Von Sachsen Liudulf 97 97 Herzog von Sachsen (859), Markgraf in (East) Sachsen, Herr von

Western Frankish King 843-877
Frankish Emperor 875-877
Louis the Pious became Frankish Emperor in 814 with no rivals to the throne. He had three sons, Lothar, Pepin, and Louis. In 817, Lothar was made co-Emperor with his father and King of Italy to replace Bernard, Pepin made King of Aquitaine, and Louis made King of Bavaria. In 823, Louis had another son, Charles, this one by a new wife (the mother of the 3 brothers had died). Louis tried desperately to work Charles in as a successor, but the three brothers fought him everytime he tried to reform his will. After much conflict, Emperor Louis dropped Lothar's imperial title in 829 and sent him off to Italy. The next year the brothers attacked, reinstated Lothar with his imperial title, and had Judith, the mother of Charles, sent off to a nunnery. By 831, Louis had regained his power, brought back his wife, and again dropped Lothar's titles, this time all of them, and refused him to return to court ever again without permission. That year Pepin revolted. In 832, Louis of Bavaria joined Pepin, and the Emperor Louis declaired Pepin deposed of all royal titles but he had no power to enforce this declairation, so Pepin continued to rule. In 833, the three again attacked with support from Louis's own generals and from Pope Gregory IV himself. They imprisoned their father and brother, and exiled Judith to Italy under watch of Lothar, and Louis and Pepin gained territory. The next year, however, Louis and Pepin released their father and brother, brought back his wife, and peace was made. In 835, Louis was re-crowned Emperor with great pomp. Pepin died in 838, and while Louis tried to have Charles crowned king in Aquitaine, the nobles crowned Pepin's son Pepin II. Neither had the authority to rule in the country. In 840, Louis the Pious died, and the three surviving brothers began a civil war for the division of the Empire.
In 841, Charles and Louis of Bavaria ganged up on their brother Lothar, who had the support of Pepin II, who were defeated at Fontenay, France. In 842, Charles and Louis made a formal alliegance, and together put down a Saxon revolt that year and a revolt in Aquitaine under Pepin II. In 843, the Treaty of Verdun was made between the three brothers, by which Charles would rule the Western Frankish Kingdom (France), with Pepin's Aquitaine a subkindom under the ultimate authority of Charles, Lothar would rule the Middle Frankish Kingdom (Italy, Provence, and Lorraine) with the imperial title, and Louis would rule the Eastern Frankish Kingdom (Germany).
During his reign in France, Charles suffered the awesome attacks of the Danes, starting in 853. In 846, he ceded Brittany to its Breton inhabitants, and due to force he had to give to them the Breton March in 851 and Maine in 857. In 853 and 855, he was forced to allow Danish immigration into his kingdom. Another Danish army invaded in 856-9, destroying many French cities. In 858, Charles met with King Lothar II, who controlled the area near Denmark, to discuss a formal defense. Two years later, Louis the German invaded France on the invite of Pepin II and the Burgundian nobles, and Charles had so little authority that he couldn't even raise an army. The clergy finally pushed him out. In 868, Lothar died, and Louis the German and Charles the Bald divided up Lotharingia between them, just as they had done on the death of Charles of Provence in 863. 865-6 saw more Danish invasions into France. In 866, Charles finally bribed them to leave, and the East Frankish noble Hugh was made Duke to fight off the Norse. In 875, Emperor Louis II, died and on Christmas Day Pope John VIII crowned Charles Emperor in Rome. Two years later, Charles died and the French throne went to his son Louis II.

Rudolf II (d. July 11, 937), king of Burgundy (912-937) who ruled Italy for nearly four years (923-926) during the chaotic period at the end of the Carolingian era.
The son of Rudolf I, founder of the kingdom of Jurane (Upper) Burgundy (i.e., the part of Burgundy north of Provence), and a descendant of the Welf (Guelf) family, Rudolf II was offered the throne of Italy by Italian nobles disaffected with their king, Berengar of Friuli. Crowned at Pavia in 922, Rudolf fought and defeated Berengar the next year near Piacenza. After Berengar's murder (924), Rudolf ruled both Jurane Burgundy and Italy, residing alternately in the two kingdoms. In 926 Italian nobles, dissatisfied with his reign, made overtures to Hugh of Provence, the actual master of Provence, which was only nominally held by the emperor Louis III (the Blind). Rudolf, recognizing the weakness of his position, returned to Burgundy, and Hugh became king of Italy. When Italian leaders proposed to recall Rudolf to the throne, Hugh concluded a treaty (c. 931) ceding Provence to Rudolf in return for Rudolf's renunciation of all claims to the kingdom of Italy. All Burgundy was thus united under his rule. ~0865 - 25 Oct 912 I Rudolf Name Suffix:<NSFX> King Of Upper Burgundy

Boso, French BOSON (d. Jan. 11, 887, Vienne [France]), king of lower Burgundy, or Provence (from 877).
The son of Buvin (or Beuves), Count of Ardennes, Boso was given the governance of Lombardy (876) by his brother-in-law Charles II the Bald, king of the West Franks (France), and received the title of duke. During the minorities of the West Frankish kings Louis III and Carloman, he demonstrated his ambition by convoking the bishops of Provence and having them proclaim him their king (Oct. 15, 879) and thereafter proceeded to expand his domains. The territory over which he usurped royal authority included not only Provence but many lands to the north, as far as Autun--an enlarged Burgundy.
In succeeding years, especially 880-882, Boso lost many of the marginal northern lands to the French and German Carolingians, who were reestablishing their authority.

Making himself independent of King Harald I of Norway, Rollo sailed off to raid Scotland, England, Flanders, and France on pirating expeditions and, about 911, established himself in an area along the Seine River. Charles III the Simple of France held off his siege of Paris, battled him near Chartres, and negotiated the treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte, giving him the part of Neustria that came to be called Normandy; Rollo in return agreed to end his brigandage. He gave his son, William I Longsword, governance of the dukedom (927) before his death. Rollo was baptized in 912 but is said to have died a pagan

That son, William, married the daughter of a Frankish count and had his son,
Richard, by a Breton. None of the dukes' wives came from Scandinavia or
England, and by the first half of the 11th century their family connections
were typically French." An early historian, Dudo, said Rollo was Danish.

Eystein Glumra was the Earl of Moera (various spellings for this) in Norway
and Jarl of Orkney and Shetland.
According to both the Heimskringla Saga and the Orkneyinga Saga, Eystein
Glumra was the father of Rognvald. The Orkneyinga Saga says Eystein Glumra's
earliest forebear was Fornjot, King of Finland and Kvenland. Fornjot's
great-great-grandson was Thorri, or Fhorri, who had two sons, Norr and Gorr,
who emigrated westward. Norr took the mainland called Norway and Gorr took the
islands. Gorr's son Heiti was the father of Sveithi (Sveide), the Sea King,
who died about 760. Sveithi's son, Halfdan the Old, who died in 800, was the
father of Ivar, Earl of the Uplands. And Ivar, in turn, was the father of
Eystein Glumra.
RC 44 calls this man Eistein Ivarsson, son of Ivar, who was son of Halfdan
the Old. So it follows the Sagas for three generations.
There was no written language during this period, and the Norse sagas
provided oral histories, much like those Alex Haley, author of "Roots,"

In 832 he issued an edict strictly forbidding the worship of images. His whole reign was occuped in war against the caliphs of Baghdad. This war was caused by Theophilus, who afforded an asylum to a number of Persian refugees. The Roman arms were at first successful; in 837 Samosata and Sibatra (Zapetra, Sozopetra), the birthplace of al-Mu'tasim, were taken and destroyed. Eager for revenge, al-Mu'tasim assembled a vast army, one division of which defeated Theophilus, who commanded in person, at Sasymon, while the other advanced against Amorium, the cradle of the Phrygian dynasty. After a brave resistance the city fell into al-Mu'tasim's hands through treachery. Thirty thousand of the inhabitants were slain, and the city razed to the ground.
Theophilus never recovered from the blow, and he died at the beginning of 842 ~0799 - 1 Oct 829 Michael II "The Amorian Name Suffix:<NSFX> " Byzantine Emperor

The principal features of his reign were a struggle against his brother general, Thomas (822-824); the conquest of Crete by the Saracens in 823; and the beginning of their attacks upon Sicily (827). ~0752 UNKNOWN Leon UNKNOWN Georgios Still Living. 0771 - ~0803 UNKNOWN Euphrosyne 32 32 VI Constantine Name Suffix:<NSFX> Emperor Of Byzantium

Leo IV, byname LEO THE KHAZAR (b. Jan. 25, 749--d. Sept. 8, 780), Byzantine emperor whose reign marked a transition between the period of Iconoclasm and the restoration of the icons.
Leo became Byzantine emperor in 775 at the death of his father, Constantine V. The following year, at the request of the army and with the support of the Senate and the citizens, Leo's young son Constantine was crowned coemperor, passing over the caesar Nicephorus, a stepbrother of Leo. The resulting conspiracy in favour of the caesar Nicephorus was, however, suppressed, and the conspirators were exiled.
Leo profited from discord among the Bulgars by granting the Bulgar khan Telerig asylum in Constantinople (776-777) and marrying him to a cousin of his wife Irene. He also conducted three campaigns against the Arabs between 777 and 780.
At the beginning of his reign Leo made no attempt to continue his father's fierce Iconoclastic policy that forbade the use of icons (religious images). Instead he showed considerable moderation toward the proponents of icons, even appointing them to bishoprics. This action may have resulted from the influence of Irene, who was strongly orthodox. In 780, however, shortly before the close of his reign, he reversed his policy and initiated a persecution of those favouring the use of icons. 0718 Constantine V Copronymus Name Suffix:<NSFX> Emperor Of Byzantium
Constantine V COPRONYMUS (b. 718, Constantinople, Byzantine Empire [now Istanbul, Turkey]--d. Sept. 14, 775 [what is now Bulgaria]), Byzantine emperor from 741 to 775, son of Leo III the Isaurian.
Constantine was made coruler of the empire with his father in 720. Most of his life before and after his accession as sole ruler was spent in largely successful military campaigns against Arabs and Bulgars who threatened the empire. Because the empire's resources were thus engaged, the Lombards were able to take the exarchate of Ravenna in Italy (751), thus ending Byzantine influence in north and central Italy and indirectly fostering the historic alliance between the papacy and the Franks. Constantine was a strong Iconoclast (one opposed to the veneration of religious images) and was remembered by contemporaries for his persecution of monks who opposed his iconoclastic position. His military achievements won him great popularity, nonetheless, and were appreciated by later historians. He died in the Balkans while on a campaign against the Bulgarian kingdom. Bet 675 and 680 Leo III "The Isaurian Name Suffix:<NSFX> " Emperor Of Byzantium
Leo III, byname LEO THE ISAURIAN (b. c. 675-680, Germanicia, Commagene, Syria--d. June 18, 741, Constantinople), Byzantine emperor (717-741), who founded the Isaurian, or Syrian, dynasty, successfully resisted Arab invasions, and engendered a century of conflict within the empire by banning the use of religious images (icons).
Military accomplishments.
Born at Germanicia (Mar'ash) in northern Syria (modern Maras, Tur.), as a youth he was taken by his parents (who apparently were prosperous) to Mesembria, in Thrace. Emperor Justinian II appointed the young man to the prestigious rank of spatharius (attendant) as a reward for assisting him in the recovery of his throne in 705. But the Emperor soon developed a distrust of him and therefore sent him to perform a perilous mission among the Alani on the remote eastern frontier, anticipating that he would never return. Despite the danger, Leo accomplished his assignment, managed to preserve his life, and ultimately, at the hands of a subsequent emperor, Anastasius II (713-715), received appointment as commander of the Anatolikon, the largest theme, or military-district army, in Asia Minor. As the result of a military revolt in 715, Anastasius was deposed, exiled to a monastery, and replaced by Theodosius III. Leo, in alliance with Artavasdos, the commander of the Armeniakon theme (the second largest in Asia Minor), refused to recognize the new emperor and continued to champion the cause of Anastasius. Meanwhile, Arab armies had invaded Asia Minor. Leo deceived them into believing that he would subjugate the empire for them, and thus he won their goodwill and support for his own attempt to seize the throne. After persuading them to spare Byzantine territory, he marched on Constantinople. The feeble Theodosius III abdicated, realizing that opposition was futile. Leo became emperor on March 25, 717.
Leo's first task as emperor was the organization of the defense of Constantinople against the Arab troops under Maslamah ibn 'Abd al-Malik, who angrily perceived the deception. They besieged the city by land and sea from Aug. 15, 717, to Aug. 15, 718. Leo's skillful defense, which was aided by Greek fire (an igneous petroleum mix), a severe winter, desertions from the Arab fleet, and a Bulgarian assault upon those Arabs who had encamped in Thrace, compelled Maslamah to abandon the siege, which was the second and supreme Arab effort to capture Constantinople. Leo's victory marked an important check to Arab expansionism, preventing their establishment of a bridgehead in southeastern Europe. His complicated negotiations with the Arabs, as well as those earlier with the Alani, brought him a contemporary reputation for cleverness.
Leo consolidated his authority by crushing a rebellion in Sicily and a plot of army officers and officials to restore former emperor Anastasius II to the throne. Leo then sealed an alliance with his associate Artavasdos by marrying his daughter Anna to him. Throughout the reign, Artavasdos remained the second most powerful man in the empire by virtue of his control of several important military posts. Leo's wife, Maria, bore him a son, Constantine, whom he crowned in 720. An able diplomat, Leo married Constantine in 733 to a daughter of the Khagan of the Khazars; the marriage brought Leo a valuable military alliance with the Khazars in the trans-Caucasus against the Arabs.
Leo maintained peaceful relations with the Bulgarians to the north, enabling him to concentrate his military abilities against the Arab menace to Asia Minor. In 740 he won a major victory over the Arabs at Akroïnos (Afyonkarahisar). This victory freed Asia Minor from any immediate serious threat of Arab conquest, and it made possible the forceful counteroffensive and reconquest of some lost territory in the subsequent reign of his son Constantine V (741-775). He also repaired the extensive walls of Constantinople.

Aug. 9, 803, Lesbos), Byzantine ruler and saint of the Greek Orthodox Church who was instrumental in restoring the use of icons in the Eastern Roman Empire.
The wife of the Byzantine emperor Leo IV, Irene became, on her husband's death in September 780, guardian of their 10-year-old son, Constantine VI, and co-emperor with him. Later in that year she crushed what seems to have been a plot by the Iconoclasts (opposers of the use of icons) to put Leo's half brother, Nicephorus, on the throne.
Irene favoured the restoration of the use of icons, which had been prohibited in 730. She had Tarasius, one of her supporters, elected patriarch of Constantinople and then summoned a general church council on the subject. When it met in Constantinople in 786, it was broken up by Iconoclast soldiers stationed in that city. Another council, which is recognized by both the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches as the Seventh Ecumenical Council, met at Nicaea in 787 and restored the cult of images.
As Constantine approached maturity, he grew resentful of his mother's controlling influence in the empire. An attempt to seize power was crushed by the Empress, who demanded that the military oath of fidelity should recognize her as senior ruler. Anger at the demand prompted the themes (administrative divisions) of Asia Minor to open resistance in 790. Constantine VI was proclaimed sole ruler and his mother banished from court. In January 792, however, Irene was allowed to return to court and even to resume her position as co-ruler. By skillful intrigues with the bishops and courtiers she organized a conspiracy against Constantine, who was arrested and blinded at his mother's orders (797).
Irene then reigned alone as emperor (not empress) for five years. In 798 she opened diplomatic relations with the Western emperor Charlemagne, and in 802 a marriage between her and Charlemagne was reportedly contemplated. According to the contemporary Byzantine historian Theophanes, the scheme was frustrated by one of Irene's favourites. In 802 a conspiracy of officials and generals deposed her and placed on the throne Nicephorus, the minister of finance. She was exiled, first to the island of Prinkipo (now Büyükada) and then to Lesbos.
Irene's zeal in restoring icons and her patronage of monasteries ensured her a place among the saints of the Greek Orthodox Church. Her feast day is August 9 UNKNOWN Maria Still Living.

Isaac THE GREAT, SAINT, Armenian SAHAK (b. c. 345--d. probably Sept. 7, 439, Ashtishat, Armenia; feast days two weeks before Lent and early in July), celebrated catholicos, or spiritual head, of the Armenian Apostolic (Orthodox) Church, principal advocate of Armenian cultural and ecclesiastical independence and collaborator in the first translation of the Bible and varied Christian literature into Armenian.
Descended from a family of Armenian patriarchs, Isaac was educated in the Hellenistic culture of Asia Minor and at Constantinople. After the death of his wife, he became a monk and c. 388, with royal support, was named catholicos of Armenia. He furthered Armenian monasticism and converted his residence into a monastery, integrating his patriarchal administration with the ascetical life of the monks. A reformer, Isaac tightened clerical discipline and enforced celibacy on Armenian bishops. He also established schools and churches and gained Constantinople's recognition of Armenian patriarchal rights, thus creating a distinctive and autonomous Armenian form of Christianity free from direct Greek Orthodox control. With the help of his auxiliary bishop, the monk Mesrob (Mashtots), later a saint, Isaac began c. 391 the development of a Greek-inspired Armenian alphabet and literature. The two then directed a group of scholars in translating the Greek and Syriac versions of the Bible into Armenian, completing it c. 435. This linguistic achievement and the formation of an Armenian liturgy and ritual preserved Armenian unity during its partition under Greek and Persian rule.
Although he won toleration for the Armenian Church by the Persian overlords, Isaac was forced to resign his office c. 428 because of intrigues among the Armenian princes. He resumed the church leadership in 432 in response to popular clamour. A semi-legendary 8th-century history of Armenia Major credits Isaac with writing liturgical texts and music, biblical commentaries on the Old Testament, and a series of letters to the Byzantine emperor, to Proclus, patriarch of Constantinople, and to other Eastern prelates on the Christological controversy. At the national Armenian synod of Ashtishat (435), Isaac promoted the Orthodox doctrine of Christ's personal divinity and denounced the emphasis on his humanity as expressed by Theodore of Mopsuestia.

Adela, French ADÉLE (b. 1062?--d. 1137), daughter of William I the Conqueror of England and his wife, Matilda of Flanders, and mother of Stephen, king of England, whose right to the throne derived through her. She was married to Stephen, earl of Meaux and Brie, in 1080 at Breteuil. Upon the death of his father in 1090, her husband succeeded to the earldom of Blois and Chartres. She appears to have played an active role in the administration of her husband's lands, regularly witnessing his charters, took an active interest in civil and ecclesiastical affairs, and was instrumental in rebuilding the catherdral of Chartres in stone. Having inherited her father's appetite and ability to rule, she became regent in 1095 when she persuaded her popular but weak-willed husband to join the First Crusade to the Holy Land. Although in charge of the central funds of the Crusade, Stephen deserted at Antioch in 1098, understandably enough in face of overwhelming odds. Unfortunately for his reputation, the crusaders survived and succeeded in capturing Jerusalem in 1099. After Stephen's return home in 1099, Adela waged a sustained campaign of bullying and moral blackmail that extended into their bedroom where, between intercourse, she would urge Stephen to think of his reputation and return to the Holy Land. In the end, her nagging worked and Stephen departed east once more in 1101, to meet a satisfactorily noble death at Ramlah in 1102. No longer a coward's wife but more congenially a hero's widow, Adela continued to rule Blois-Chartres during the minority of her sons. Anselm, her guest and teacher in 1097, was often entertained by her during 1103 and 1105 and she affected a temporary reconciliation between him and her brother, Henry I, who lavished patronage on her second son, Stephen, and appointed a third, Henry, bishop of Winchester, the richest see in England. In 1107 Adela entertained Pope Pascal during Easter and in the following year was hostess to Bohemund of Antioch. She made her son Theobald her successor in 1109, and persuaded him to join her brother Henry I against France in 1117. In 1120 she retired to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire where she died in 1137. By all accounts a forceful personality, Adela's qualities were not uncommon among women artistocrats, although more often they found an outlet in the running of nunneries. Adela's secular career, as de facto fuler for more than a decade of one of the most powerful principalities of northern France, is exceptional testimony to the power of breeding as well as to her own determination. She was a benevolent patroness of churches and monasteries. Although married to a French count and living to see a son crowned king of England, she chose to be buried beside her mother at Caen under an inscription 'Adela, filia regis'. She was always the Conqueror's daughter.

Note:
FULK NERRA (c. 970-1040), count of Anjou, eldest son of Count Geoffrey I, Grisegonelle ("Gray Tunic), and Adela of Vermandois, was born about 970 and succeeded his father in the countship of Anjou on July 21, 987. He was successful in repelling the attacks of the count of Rennes and laying the foundations of the conquest of Touraine. In this connection, he built a great number of strong castles, which has led in modern times to his being called "the great builder." He also founded several religious houses, among them the abbeys of Beaulieu, near Loches (c. 1097), of St. Nicholas at Angers (1020) and of Ronceray at Angers (1028), and, in order to expiate his crimes of violence, made three pilgrimages to the Holy Land (in 1002-03, c. 1008, and in 1039).
On his return from the third of these journeys Fulk died at Metz in Lorraine on June 21, 1040. By his first marriage, with Elizabeth, daughter of Bouchard le Vénérable, count of Vendôme, he had a daughter, Adela, who married Boon of Nevers and transmitted to her children the countship of Vendôme. Elizabeth having died in 1000, Fulk married Hildegarde of Lorraine, by whom he had a son, Geoffrey Martel, and a daughter, Ermengarde, who married Geoffrey, count of Gâtinais, and was the mother of Geoffrey le Barbu ("the bearded") and of Fulk le Réchin Bet 930 and 935 - ~0978 II Adélaïde Name Suffix:<NSFX> Comtesse De Châlon

On his father's death in 918, the inherited lands were divided between Arnulf and his brother Adolf, but the latter survived only a short time, and Arnulf succeeded to the whole inheritance. His reign was filled with warfare against the Norsemen, and he took an active part in the struggles in Lorraine between the emperor Otto I and Hugh Capet.
In 958 Arnulf placed the government in the hands of his son Baldwin ( Baldwin III), and the young man, though his reign was a very short one, did a great deal for the commercial and industrial progress of the country, establishing the first weavers and fullers at Ghent and instituting yearly fairs at Ypres, Bruges, and other places. On Baldwin III's death in 962 the old count, Arnulf I, resumed control and spent the few remaining years of his life in securing the succession of his grandson Arnulf II the Younger (reigned 965-988).

Æthelberht's marriage to Bertha (or Berhta), daughter of Charibert, king of Paris, and a Christian, may account for the tolerant reception that he accorded Augustine and other missionaries dispatched to Kent by Pope Gregory I the Great in 597. Æthelberht gave them a dwelling at Canterbury and later accepted Christianity himself, though he did not force it on his subjects. According to the English historian and theologian Bede, his kingdom included all of England south of the Humber, but probably only at the end of his reign.

Charibert I (d. 567 or 568, Paris), king of the Franks, the eldest son of Chlotar I and Ingund. He shared in the partition of the Frankish kingdom that followed his father's death in 561, receiving the old kingdom of Childebert I, with its capital at Paris. Eloquent and learned in the law, he was yet loose-living and died excommunicate. At his death his brothers Guntram, Sigebert I, and Chilperic I
shared his realm between them; a tripartite division of the lands north of the Loire thenceforth remained normal, the areas concerned being the east (Austrasia), the west (the future Neustria), and Burgundy. ~0610 Princess Of Austrasia Emma ~0590 - ~0612 II Theudebert 22 22 Name Suffix:<NSFX> King Of Austrasia ~0570 - ~0595 II Childebert 25 25 Name Suffix:<NSFX> King Of Austrasia D. 0613 Brunhilda Of The Visigoths BRUNHILDA (BRUNECHILDIS), queen of Austrasia (d. 613), was a daughter of Athanagild, king of the Visigoths. In 567 she was asked in marriage by Sigebert, who was reigning at Metz. She then abjured Arianism and was converted to the orthodox faith. Chilperic, brother of Sigebert, and king of the West Frankish kingdom, jealous of the renown which this marriage brought to his elder brother, married Brunhilda's sister, but soon assassinated her at the instigation of his mistress Fredegond. Sigebert was anxious to avenge his sister-in-law, but accepted the compensation offered by Chilperic, namely the cities of Bordeaux, Cahors and Limoges, and Béarn and Bigorre.
This treaty did not prevent war soon again breaking out between Sigebert and Chilperic. So long as her husband lived, Brunhilda played a secondary part, but having been made captive by Chilperic after her husband's assassination (575), she escaped, after a series of extraordinary adventures, by means of a marriage with Merovech, the son of her conqueror. From this time on, she took the lead; in Austrasia she opposed the nobles, who wished to govern in the name of her son Childebert II; but she was worsted and had to seek refuge in Burgundy. After the death of Childebert II (597), she aspired to govern Austrasia and Burgundy in the name of her grandsons Theudebert and Theuderich II. She was expelled from Austrasia, and then stirred up Theuderich II against his brother, whom he defeated and put to death. Theuderich II died shortly after this victory and Brunhilda caused one of her great-grandchildren to be proclaimed king. The nobles of Austrasia and Burdundy, however, summoned Clotaire II, son of Fredegond, to help them against the queen. Brunhilda was given up to him and put to death (613).
Brunhilda seems to have had political ideas and to have wished to attain to the royal power. She was a protectress of the church, and Pope Gregory I (590-604) addressed a series of letters to her in which he showered praises upon her. She took it upon herself, however, to supervise the bishoprics and monasteries, and came into conflict with Columban, abbot of Lexeuil.
------------------------
Brunhild, also spelled BRUNHILDA, BRUNHILDE, or BRUNECHILDIS, French BRUNEHAUT (b. c. 534--d. 613, Renève, Burgundy [now in France]), queen of the Frankish kingdom of Austrasia, daughter of the Visigothic king Athanagild, and one of the most forceful figures of the Merovingian Age.
In 567 Brunhild married Sigebert I, king of Austrasia, changing her religion from Arianism to Roman Catholicism. In the same year, her sister Galswintha married Sigebert's half brother Chilperic I, king of the western part of the Frankish territory, but in 567 or 568, at the instigation of his concubine Fredegund, Chilperic had Galswintha murdered. Prompted by Brunhild, Sigebert then exacted Galswintha's marriage settlement (Bordeaux, Limoges, Quercy, Béarn, and Bigorre) as retribution from Chilperic. When Chilperic tried to recover this territory, war broke out between him and Sigebert (573). At first it ran in Sigebert's favour, but in 575 he was assassinated and Brunhild was imprisoned at Rouen. There, however, Merovech, one of Chilperic's sons, went through a form of marriage with her (576). Chilperic soon had this union dissolved, but Brunhild was allowed to go to Metz in Austrasia, where her young son Childebert II had been proclaimed king. There she was to assert herself against the Austrasian magnates for the next 30 years.
After Childebert's death (595 or 596), Brunhild failed to set herself up as guardian over Childebert's elder son, Theodebert II of Austrasia, and thus stirred up against him his brother Theodoric II, who had succeeded to Burgundy. Theodebert was finally overthrown in 612, but Theodoric died soon afterward (613), whereupon Brunhild tried to make the latter's eldest son, the 12-year-old Sigebert II, king of Austrasia.

Sigebert I (b. 535--d. November? 575, Vitry, near Arras, Fr.), Frankish king of the Merovingian dynasty, son of Chlotar I and Ingund; he successfully pursued a civil war against his half brother, Chilperic I.
When Chlotar I died in 561, his kingdom was divided, in accordance with Frankish custom, among his four sons; Sigebert became king of the northeastern portion, known as Austrasia, to which he added further territory on the death of his brother, Charibert I, in 567 or 568. Incursions by the Avars, a fierce nomadic tribe related to the Huns, compelled him to move his capital from Reims to Metz; he had twice to repel their attacks (562 and c. 568). About 567 he married Brunhild, daughter of the Visigothic king Athanagild, whose other daughter, Galswintha, married Chilperic. When Chilperic had Galswintha murdered in order to marry Fredegund, Sigebert was obliged to seek revenge. The two brothers had already fought each other, but this hostility was elevated by the incident into a long and bitter war that was continued by the descendants of both. Sigebert defeated Chilperic, conquered most of his kingdom, and compelled him to hide in Tournai. But at his moment of triumph, when he had just been acclaimed king by Chilperic's subjects at Vitry, he was struck down by two assassins in the service of Fredegund.

Billung DYNASTY, the primary ruling dynasty in Saxony in the 10th and 11th centuries. It was founded by Hermann Billung, who in 936 received from the German king (and future emperor) Otto I a march, or border territory, on the lower Elbe River to be held against the pagan Slavic Wends. In 961 Otto granted Hermann the Saxon ducal title, which on Hermann's death (973) passed to his son and thereafter to his descendants, who continued the struggle against the Slavs.
Although the family extended its conquests toward the Oder River, thus preparing these territories for Christianization, their lands consisted of only the northeastern part of the former stem duchy of Saxony. Hermann's son Bernard I (d. 1011) obtained guarantees of the special privileges and customs of the Saxons from the emperor Henry II; Bernard II (d. 1059) obtained similar guarantees from the emperor Conrad II. Both Bernard II and his son Ordulf (d. 1072) had to defend their territories against the encroachments of Adalbert, archbishop of Bremen. The family came to embody the Saxon national resentment toward the Salian kings and emperors Henry III and particularly Henry IV, who wanted to reestablish imperial authority in Saxony. In August 1106, with the death of Magnus Billung, the family died out. ~0875 Count Of Saxony Billung ~0865 Count Of Saxony Athelbert ~0845 - ~0880 Wichmann Of Saxony 35 35 ~0825 I Bennith Name Suffix:<NSFX> Count Of Saxony ~0805 Amalung I Of Saxony UNKNOWN Immihilt Still Living.

Berengar was important in the career of the German king and Holy Roman emperor Otto I the Great. For several months in 951 he held captive Adelaide, the daughter and widow of kings of Italy; she escaped and married Otto, who assumed the title of king of the Lombards and made Berengar his vassal. Later (from 960) Berengar and his son Adalbert attacked Pope John XII, on whose appeal Otto marched into Rome and was crowned emperor (962). John's subsequent negotiations with Berengar caused Otto to depose the pope and imprison Berengar in Germany (963).

Olaf SIHTRICSON, byname (in sagas) OLAF THE RED, or OLAF CUARAN, Olaf also spelled ANLAF (d. 981?, Iona?), king of the Danish kingdoms of Northumbria and of Dublin.
He was the son of Sihtric, king of Deira, and was related to the English king Aethelstan. When Sihtric died about 927 Aethelstan annexed Deira, and Olaf took refuge in Scotland and in Ireland until 937, when he was one of the leaders of the formidable league of princes that was destroyed by Aethelstan at the famous Battle of Brunanburh. Again he sought a home among his kinsfolk in Ireland, but just after Aethelstan's death in 940 he or Olaf Guthfrithson was recalled to England by the Northumbrians. Both crossed over, and in 941 the new English king, Edmund, gave up Deira to the former. The peace between the English and Danes did not, however, last long. Wulfstan, archbishop of York, sided with Olaf; but in 944 Olaf was driven from Northumbria by Edmund, and crossing to Ireland, Olaf ruled over the Danish kingdom of Dublin. From 949 to 952 he was again king of Northumbria, until he was expelled once more (this time by Erik Bloodaxe), and he passed the remainder of his active life in warfare in Ireland. But in 980 his dominion was shattered by the defeat of the Danes at the Battle of Tara. He went to Iona, where he died probably in 981, ~0480 Elidir Lydanwyn Ap Meirchion ~0450 Meirchion Ap Gwrgust ~0430 Gwrgust Ap Cenue Eilud Ap Cynan Still Living.

MAGNUS CLEMENS MAXIMUS (d. 388) ruled as usurping Roman Emperor from 383 to 388. Of Spanish birth, Magnus Maximus served in the Roman amy in Britain from 367 and rose to high military command. In 383 he proclaimed himself Emperor, crossed the Channel with an army and established his rule over Gaul and Spain. In 387 he moved into Italy but in 388 was defeated by the rightful Emperor, Theodosius I, and executed at Aquileia. His significance in British history is twofold. First, his withdrawals of troops from Britain made the province even more vulnerable that it already was to Pictish, Irish and Saxon marauders. Secondly, he was remembered (under the name Macsen) in medieval Welsh tradition as the ancestor of several British princely dynasties. Precisely what significance this may have is not clear, but it is possible that Maximus established reliable native subordinates for defensive purposes in positions of authority that later became hereditary. On both counts his unwitting contribution to the confused process called for convenience 'the end of Roman Britain' was considerable. [Who's Who in Roman Britain and Anglo-Saxon England, Richard Fletcher, Shephear-Walwyn Ltd., London, 1989]
------------------------------
MAGNUS MAXIMUS, a native of Spain, who had accompanied Theodosius on several expeditions, and from 368 seems to have had some office in Britain, where he was proclaimed emperor by the disaffected troops. Denuding, as it would seem, Hadrian's Wall of its garrison, he crossed over to Gaul, and overthrew Gratian. Theodosius being unable to avenge the death of his colleague, an agreement was made (384 or 385) by which Maximus was recognized as Augustus and sole emperor in Gaul, Spain and Britain, while Valentinian II was to rule Italy and Illyricum. In 387 Maximus crossed the Alps and Valentinian was forced to fly to Theodosius. Advancing with a powerful Army, Theodosius defeated the troops of Maximus---at Siscia on the Save, and at Poetovio on the Danube. He then hurried to Aquileia, where Maximus had shut himself up, and had him beheaded. [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1961 ed., Vol. XV, p. 119, MAXIMUS, MAGNUS MAXIMUS]
----------------------------
MAXIMUS, MAGNUS (d. Aug. 28, 388), usurping Roman emperor who ruled Britain, Gaul, and Spain from AD 383 to 388. A Spaniard of humble origin, Maximus commanded the Roman troops in Britain against the Picts and Scots. In the spring of 383, Maximus' British troops proclaimed him emperor, and he at once crossed to the European continent to confront his rival, the Western emperor Gratian. Maximus won over Gratian's advancing troops; Gratian fled but was overtaken and killed (Aug. 25, 383). Maximus took up residence at Trier (in present-day Germany) and entered into negotiations with the Eastern emperor, Theodosius I. Since hostile tribes were threatening his eastern frontier, Theodosius decided to recognize Maximus rather than fight a war in the West. Maximus also opened negotiations with Valentinian II, the young ruler who had been coemperor with Gratian, and made an uneasy peace with him. At this time Maximus elevated his son Flavius Victor to be coruler with him, and his elevation was recognized by the other two emperors. In the summer of 387 Maximus invaded Italy, forcing Valentinian to flee to Thessalonica. War broke out in 388 between Maximus and Theodosius, whose position had been strengthened by a treaty with the Persians. When his troops were defeated near Siscia and at Petovio, in Illyricum (in the Balkans), Maximus was captured and executed. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97, MAGNUS MAXIMUS.]
In the history or the mythology of the beginnings of the kingdoms of Wales, Magnus is a ubiquitous lurker. He also figures in stories of the saints; he appears in the early literature of Cornwall and in the traditions of the Men of the North and it is he who is the hero of the story "Breuddwyd Macsen."

Howel DDA (Welsh), English HYWEL THE GOOD (d. AD 950), chieftain called in the prologues to the Welsh lawbooks "king of all Wales." This epithet was indeed appropriate for Howel, particularly during the last years of his reign.
He became ruler of Seisyllwg (roughly the area of Dyfed and the Towy Valley) jointly with his brother Clydog after the death of their father, Cadell (c. 910), but after Clydog's death in 920 he ruled alone. Sovereignty over Dyfed in southwest Wales came to him through his wife, Elen, daughter of Llywarch ap Hyfaidd (d. 904), the last king of its dynasty; he acquired Gwynedd, in northwest Wales, and probably Powis, in northeast Wales, on the death of his cousin Idwal Foel ap Anarawd, in 942. Howel's reign was remarkable for its peacefulness, the result of his consistent policy of subservience to England. Howel's first recorded act is his homage to Edward the Elder in 918. Thereafter, he often attended the English court, and his name is found as a witness to 12 charters of Athelstan and Edred between 928 and 949.
Howel was the only Welsh ruler to issue his own coins. He is remembered chiefly for the codification of Welsh law attributed to him. Although there is no contemporary record of this work, Howel was certainly responsible for a coordination of preexisting law. There are biographies by J.E. Lloyd (1928) and J.G. Edwards (1929). [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD, 1997, Howel Dda]
John Davies, in "A History of Wales," Allen Lane - The Penguin Press, London, 1993, states, "About 904, Llywarch ap Hyfaidd, king of Dyfed, died; his kingdom came into the posession of Hywel ap Cadell ap Rhodri, the ruler of Seisyllwg and the husband of Elen, Llywarch's sister. It would appear that Hywel also took possesion of Brycheiniog, for its royal line ends with Tewdwr ap Griffri, who died about 930. The enlarged kingdom came to be known as Deheubarth, a unit of central importance in the history of Wales during the following four centuries. Deheubarth was united with the territories of Idwal ab Anarawd ap Rhodri -- Gwynedd and Powys -- in 942, and Hywel died in 950 the ruler of a kingdom which extended from Prestatyn to Pembroke."

And in that monarch's reign he served the office of sheriff for Northumberland, Norfolk, and Suffolk; for each county thrice. In the conflict between John and the barons, this powerful person, although indebted to the crown for immense territorial possessions, took part in the first instance with the latter, but under the apprehension of confiscation, and the other visitations of royal vengeance, he was very soon induced to return to his allegiance.

Eustace Fitz-John, nephew and heir of Serlo de Burgh (of the great family of Burgh), the founder of Knaresborough Castle, in Yorkshire, and son of John, called Monoculus, from having but one eye, is said by an historian of the period in which he lived, to have been "one of the chiefest peers of England," and of intimate familiarity with King Henry I, as also a person of great wisdom and singular judgment in councils. He had immense grants from the crown and was constituted governor of the castle of Bamburg, in Northumberland, temp. Henry I, of which governorship, however, he was deprived by King Stephen, but he subsequently enjoyed the favour of that monarch. He fell the ensuing reign, anno, 1157, in an engagement with the Welsh, "a great and aged man, and of the chiefest English peers, most eminent for his wealth and wisdom." By his first wife, the heiress of Vesci, he had two sons, and by Agnes, his 2nd wife, dau. of William FitzNigel, Baron of Halton, and constable of Chester, he left another son, called Richard Fitz-Eustace.

This Roger, adhering to the party that took up arms against William Rufus in the 1st year of that monarch's reign, fortified the castle at Norwich and wasted the country around. At the accession of Henry I, being a witness of the king's laws and staunch in his interests, he obtained Framlingham in Suffolk as a gift from the crown. We find further of him that he founded in 1103, the abbey of Whetford, in Norfolk, and that he was buried there at his decease in four years after, leaving, by Adeliza his wife, dau. and co-heir of Hugh de Grentesmesnil, high steward of England, a son and heir, William Bigod, steward of the household of King Henry I.

----------
Roger Bigod was one of the tight-knit group of second-rank Norman nobles who did well out of the conquest of England. Prominent in the Calvados region before 1064 as an under-tenant of Odo of Bayeux, he rose in ducal and royal service to become, but 1086, one of the leading barons in East Anglia, holding wide estates to which he added Belvoir by marriage and Framlingham by grant of Henry I. His territorial fortune was based on his service in the royal household, where he was a close adviser and agent for the first three Norman kings, and the propitious circumstances of post-Conquest politics. Much of his honour in East Anglia was carved out of lands previously belonging to the dispossessed Archbishop Stigand, his brother Aethelmar of Elham, and the disgraced Earl Ralph of Norfolk and Suffolk. Under Rufus --- if not before --- Roger was one of the king's stewards. Usually in attendance on the king, he regularly witnessed writs but was also sent out to the provinces as a justice or commissioner. Apart from a flirtation with the cause of Robert Curthose in 1088, he remained conspicuously loyal to Rufus and Henry I, for whom he continued to act as steward and to witness charters. The adherence of such men was vital to the Norman kings. Through them central business could be conducted and localities controlled. Small wonder they were well rewarded. Roger established a dynasty which dominated East Anglia from the 1140s, as earls of Norfolk, until 1306. Roger's byname and the subsequent family name was derived from a word (bigot) meaning double-headed instrument such as a pickaxe: a tribute, perhaps to Roger's effectiveness as a royal servant; certainly an apt image of one who worked hard both for his masters and for himself.

Amongst the most distinguished companion in arms of the Conqueror was Robert de Todeni, a nobleman of Normandy, upon whom the victorious monarch conferred, with numerous other grants, an estate in the county of Lincoln upon the borders of Leicestershire.

The son of Begga and Ansegisel, who were, respectively, the daughter of Pepin I and the son of Bishop Arnulf of Metz, Pepin established himself as mayor of the palace in Austrasia after the death of Dagobert II in 679 and defended its autonomy against Theodoric III of Neustria and Ebroïn, Theodoric's mayor of the palace. Defeated by Ebroïn in 680 at Lucofao (near Laon), Pepin gained his revenge on the Neustrians in 687 at Tertry (near Péronne) and became sole effective ruler of the Franks. He nevertheless retained Theodoric III on the throne and after his death replaced him with three successive Merovingian kings. After several years of warfare Pepin defeated the Frisians on his northeastern border (689) and married his son Grimoald to Theodelind, daughter of the Frisian chief Radbod.

In his first year the Arab invasion began, and in 636/637 the Battle of al-Qadisiyah on one of the Euphrates canals decided the fate of the empire. His capital, Ctesiphon, was occupied by the Arabs, and Yazdegerd fled into Media, where his generals unsuccessfully attempted to organize resistance. After the Battle of Nahavand (642), in which Sasanian forces were badly defeated, Yazdegerd sought refuge in one district after another, until at last he was slain at Merv. The Parsis--Zoroastrians who immigrated to western India on the advent of Islam--still use the old Persian calendar and continue to count the years from Yazdegerd's accession.

Khosrow II, byname KHOSROW PARVIZ (Persian: "Khosrow the Victorious") (d. AD 628), late Sasanian king of Persia (reigned 590-628), under whom the empire achieved its greatest expansion. Defeated at last in a war with the Byzantines, he was deposed in a palace revolution and executed.
Expansion of the empire.
The son of Hormizd IV, Khosrow was proclaimed king in AD 590 in turbulent times. Hormizd's general, Bahram Chubin, after his defeat by the Byzantine army at Lazica, had been openly insulted by the king. During a subsequent palace revolt led by Bostam and Bindoe (brothers-in-law of Hormizd), which culminated in the king's assassination, Bahram Chubin renounced the allegiance of his army to the monarchy and forced the new king Khosrow to flee to Mesopotamia. Khosrow's pursuers were held off by the military tactics of his uncle Bindoe, until eventually the Byzantine emperor Maurice provided Khosrow with forces to defeat his adversary. Bahram Chubin was subsequently assassinated.
Insecure and unpopular, Khosrow now eliminated those connected with his father's murder, including Bindoe, on whose support he had relied. Although he retained a bodyguard of Byzantine legionaries, he resented the Byzantine presence in Armenia, which he had been forced to cede. Using the murder of Maurice (602) and his replacement as emperor by Phocas as a pretext and encouraged by the fact that Narces, who had commanded the Byzantine force that established Khosrow on the throne, refused to recognize Phocas, Khosrow's armies invaded Armenia and Mesopotamia. The Byzantine forces in Mesopotamia were weak, and the towns of Dara, Amida, and Edessa soon fell (604). Crossing the Euphrates, Khosrow took Hierapolis and Beroea (Aleppo). Internal dissensions made the eastern Byzantine provinces easy prey, and Armenia and central Asia Minor were overrun by the Persians--though apparently not permanently occupied or administered. Nor was the Persian advance checked when Heraclius became emperor in 610 and sued for peace.
A second invasion of Mesopotamia, by Khosrow's ablest general, Shahrbaraz, took place in 613. Damascus was taken in that year, and in 614 Jerusalem fell. The Holy Sepulchre was destroyed and the True Cross carried to Ctesiphon. Although Khosrow himself was generally tolerant of Christianity, Shahrbaraz permitted thousands of Christian prisoners to be tortured by his Jewish aides. In 616 Alexandria was captured, and in 617 Chalcedon (opposite Byzantium), which had long been under siege by another of Khosrow's generals, Shahin, finally fell to the Persians.
This tide of conquest was turned by Heraclius in a series of brilliant campaigns between 622 and 627. Since he retained command of the sea, Heraclius was able to sail to Issus and rout the Persian army near the Armenian border. In alliance with the Khazar kingdom north of the Caucasus, he invaded Armenia again in 623, gaining victory over the King's army near Canzaca. The town and fire temple were destroyed, together with the temple at Lake Urmia, traditionally associated with Zoroaster. The campaigns of 624 and 625 ranged across northern Syria and Mesopotamia and culminated in a reversal for Shahrbaraz' forces on the river Saras.
Khosrow rallied his forces in 626 and, in alliance with the Avars, a people who were also in conflict with Byzantium at this time, sent one army to besiege Constantinople and another to oppose Heraclius. Constantinople held, and Shahin was defeated; the Persian second force was outmanoeuvred in 628 by Heraclius' brave dash to Dastagird, the royal residence 70 miles (113 kilometres) north of Ctesiphon. An important but indecisive battle was fought near Nineveh, but, as the Byzantine army reapproached Dastagird, Khosrow fled. His letters calling Shahrbaraz to his aid had been intercepted, and, although his resources were by now drastically reduced, he refused peace terms.
Khosrow's prestige was shattered, and he was now  D. 0590 IV Hormizd Name Suffix:<NSFX> Sasanid King Of Persia
Hormizd IV, king of the Sasanian dynasty, son of Chosroes I, reigned 579-590. Some characteristic stories are told of him by Tabari. Hormizd protected the common people and introduced a severe discipline in his army and court. When the priests demanded a persecution of the Christians, he declined on the ground that the throne and the government could only be safe if it gained the good will of both concurring religions. Consequently he raised a strong opposition in the ruling classes. From his father he had inherited a war against the Byzantine empire and against the Turks in the east, and negotiations of peace had just begun with the emperor Tiberius, but Hormizd haughtily declined to cede anything of the conquests of his father. Therefore the accounts given of him by the Byzantine authors, Theophylact, Simocatta (iii, 16 ff.), Menander Protector and John of Ephesus (vi, 22), are far from favourable. In 588 his general, Bahram Chobin, defeated the Turks, but in the next year was beaten by the Romans; and when the king superseded him he rebelled. This was the signal for a general insurrection. The magnates deposed Hormizd and proclaimed his son Chosroes II king. In the war which followed between Bahram Chobin and Chosroes II, Hormizd was killed (590).

Khosrow I, byname KHOSROW ANUSHIRVAN (Persian: "Khosrow of the Immortal Soul"), or KHOSROW THE JUST (d. AD 579), Persian king who ruled the Sasanian empire from 531 to 579 and was remembered as a great reformer and patron of the arts and scholarship.
Rise to power.
Little is known of the early life of Khosrow beyond legends. One story says that when Khosrow's father, King Kavadh, took refuge with the Hephthalites, eastern neighbours of Iran, on the way (near the town of Nishapur) he married a peasant's daughter, who gave birth to Khosrow. At his father's death Khosrow did not at first succeed him, but in a struggle for the throne he was successful and put to death his brothers. At the end of his father's reign, great social disorders had occurred because of a religious revolution of a sect called the Mazdakites. Khosrow first restored order and then launched reforms to transform the declining Sasanian empire.
Reforms.
The reform of taxation was the most important of his actions, and it was probably copied from the Roman system inaugurated by the emperor Diocletian. Previously in the Sasanian empire taxes had been levied on the yield of land; Khosrow established a fixed sum rather than a yearly variation. Other taxes were introduced that brought stability to the income of the state and were also fairer to those who paid the taxes. Khosrow's program of taxes lasted into Islamic times.
Khosrow also reorganized the Sasanian bureaucracy, and the system of ministries, or divans, under a prime minister is said to have been initiated by him. He was fortunate during most of his reign in having a capable prime minister called Bozorgmehr, who became famous in story and legend for his wisdom and abilities.
Under Khosrow the process of decentralization of the power of the monarch was reversed, and the lower aristocracy, or knights, called dihqans, grew in importance at the expense of the great feudal lords, who had been more powerful under Khosrow's predecessors. It is difficult to know how many changes really can be attributed to Khosrow's reign and how many are arbitrarily assigned to him because of his place in history. Whether the religiously sanctioned division of society into priests, warriors, bureaucracy, and common folk was codified under his reign, as claimed by some sources, is difficult to determine.
Military campaigns.
Khosrow also reorganized the army and appointed four chief commanders to guard the four frontiers of Iran. On the frontier against the Byzantines and their Arab allies in the Syrian Desert, against the peoples of the steppes of southern Russia at the town of Derbent between the Caucasus Mountains and the Caspian Sea, and to the east of the sea in the present Turkmen steppes, Khosrow built defensive walls. The army, however, did not remain on the defensive, for Khosrow's reign is noted for his wars against the Byzantines. In 540 Antioch was conquered and held for a short time by Khosrow. He brought many prisoners from Antioch and settled them in a new town near his capital of Ctesiphon, modeled on old Antioch. In the east, Khosrow, in alliance with the Turks, a new power in Central Asia, crushed the Hephthalites, and he established a hegemony over many of their principalities. The Sasanian frontier in the east reached the Amu Darya (Oxus River) during his reign.
He also fought extensively in Armenia and Lazica in the Caucasus. Furthermore, under his reign a Sasanian army conquered Yemen. Khosrow relied on a professional army more than his predecessors, who had summoned feudal levies when they set out to war.
Patron of culture.
Khosrow was also a great patron of culture, and in 529, when the ancient academy of Athens was closed, a number of Greek philosophers migrated to the Sasanian empire, where they were well received by the ruler. The later famous medical school of Gondeshapur was probably started in Khosrow's reign, and the famous physician Burzoe is supp ~0470 - 13 Sep 531 I Kavadh Name Suffix:<NSFX> Sasanid King Of Persia

Note:
Kavadh I, also spelled QOBAD (d. Sept. 13, 531), king of the Sasanian empire of Persia (reigned 488-496 and 498/499-531). He was a son of Firuz and succeeded Firuz' brother Balash as ruler.
Time spent in youth as a hostage in the hands of the Hephthalites after their first defeat of his father gave Kavadh valuable military experience and connections, which he later turned to good use. After the deposition of his uncle Balash in AD 488, he was called to the throne. At first he was largely dependent on the feudal chief Zarmihr (elsewhere called Sokhra), but when he contrived to eliminate this over-powerful protector, the hostility of the nobles, with tribal unrest in Armenia and western Iran, led to his deposition in favour of a brother, Jamasp.
Kavadh was incarcerated in the "Castle of Oblivion" in Susiana but escaped (in a romantic version his wife takes his place in the dungeon) and, helped by a nobleman, Siyavush (Seoses), fled to the Hephthalites. Their king arranged a marriage between Kavadh and the Hephthalite king's daughter, who was a granddaughter of Firuz. He also gave Kavadh a powerful army with which to recover the Persian throne, which Kavadh did without opposition in AD 498 or 499. Kavadh next applied to the Byzantine emperor Anastasius I for subsidies with which to placate his auxiliaries. Payment being refused, he led his troops against Anatolia and seized the cities of Theodosiopolis (Erzurum) and Amida (Diyarbakir). He later returned Amida in return for a heavy indemnity.
When Justin I succeeded to the Byzantine throne in 518, Kavadh's main concern was to ensure the succession of his favourite son, Khosrow (later Khosrow I), by a peace agreement under which Khosrow would be adopted and sponsored by the Byzantine emperor. Justin rebuffed the proposal, and a new breach resulted.
About the same time, Kavadh was deeply influenced by the Mazdakites, a heterodox religious sect. Finally persuaded of the danger of the Mazdakites, he had them assemble as if for a meeting and then massacred them. Kavadh died after drafting the fiscal reforms that won fame for his successor. His written testament sufficed to place Khosrow on the throne. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97, KAVADH] V Firuz Name Suffix:<NSFX> Sasanid King Of Persia

But a treaty was soon concluded by which both empires promised toleration to the worshippers of the two rival religions, Christianity and Zoroastrianism.

He was educated at the court of al-Mundhir, the Lakhmid Arab king of al-Hira, in Mesene, whose support helped him gain the throne after the assassination of his father, Yazdegerd I. He was apparently also supported by Mihr-Naresh, chief minister of Yazdegerd's last years, to whom Bahram later delegated much of the governmental administration.
Bahram carried on an inconclusive war with the Romans (421-422), and in 427 he crushed an invasion in the east by the nomadic Hephthalites, extending his influence into Central Asia, where his portrait survived for centuries on the coinage of Bukhara (in modern Uzbekistan).

Yazdegerd was a highly intelligent ruler who tried to emancipate himself from the dominion of the magnates and of the Magi (a priestly caste serving a number of religions); thus, his reign is viewed differently by Christian and Magian sources. Because he stopped the persecution of the Christians, the Christian writers praise his clemency, but the sources dependent on Magian tradition refer to him as "Yazdegerd the Sinner." He also tried to limit the power of the nobles, but their resistance finally was answered with severity.

Narses was the youngest son of an earlier king, Shapur I. On the death of Bahram II (293), Narses, at that time viceroy of Armenia, successfully contested the succession of Bahram's son, Bahram III. Narses later antagonized Rome by occupying the independent portion of Armenia. In the following year he suffered a severe reversal, losing his war chest and his harem. He then concluded a peace (296), by the terms of which Armenia remained under Roman suzerainty, and the steppes of northern Mesopotamia, with Singara and the hill country on the left bank of the Tigris as far as Gordyene, were also ceded to the victors. In return Narses recovered his household. By this peace, which lasted for 40 years, the Sasanians withdrew completely from the disputed districts. D. 0272 I Shapur Name Suffix:<NSFX> Sasanid King Of Persia
Shapur I, Latin SAPOR, Arabic SABUR (d. AD 272), Persian king of the Sasanian dynasty who consolidated and expanded the empire founded by his father, Ardashir I. Shapur continued his father's wars with Rome, conquering Nisibis (modern Nusaybin, Tur.) and Carrhae (Harran, Tur.) and advancing deep into Syria. Defeated at Resaina (now in Turkey) in 243, he was able, nevertheless, to conclude a favourable peace in 244. In 256 he took advantage of the internal chaos within the Roman Empire and invaded Syria, Anatolia, and Armenia; he sacked Antioch but was repulsed by the emperor Valerian. In 260, however, Shapur not only defeated Valerian at Edessa (modern Urfa, Tur.) but captured him and kept him a prisoner for the rest of his life. The capture of Valerian was a favourite subject of Sasanian rock carvings. Shapur does not appear to have aimed at a permanent occupation of the eastern Roman provinces; he merely carried off enormous booty both in treasure and in men. The captives from Antioch were forced to build the city of Gondeshapur, later famous as a centre of learning. Using the same captives, who excelled the Persians in technical skill, he built the dam at Shushtar known from that time as the Band-e Qeysar, Dam of Caesar.
Shapur, no longer content to describe himself as "king of kings of Iran," as his father had done, styled himself "king of kings of Iran and non-Iran"--that is, of non-Persian territories as well. He appears to have tried to find a religion suitable for all of the empire, showing marked favour to Mani, the founder of Manichaeism. Inscriptions show that he also founded Zoroastrian fire temples and sought to broaden the base of the newly revived Zoroastrian religion by the addition of material derived from both Greek and Indian sources.

Note:
Ardashir I (fl. mid-3rd century), the founder of the Sasanian empire in ancient Persia (reigned AD 224-241).
Ardashir was the son of Babak, who was the son or descendant of Sasan and was a vassal of the chief petty king in Persis, Gochihr. After Babak got Ardashir the military post of argabad in the town of Darabgerd (near modern Darab, Iran), Ardashir extended his control over several neighbouring cities. Meanwhile, Babak had slain Gochihr and taken the title of king. Although Babak's request that the Parthian king Artabanus V allow him to transmit the crown to his eldest son, Shapur, was refused, Shapur nevertheless succeeded him. In the ensuing struggle between him and Ardashir, Shapur was killed, and Ardashir was crowned king of Persis in 208. Having suppressed a revolt in Darabgerd, he gradually conquered the neighbouring province of Kerman and the coastal Persian Gulf lands. He made his capital at Gur (modern Firuzabad), which he renamed Ardashir-Kwarrah.
Ardashir then moved against western Iran, taking Esfahan, Kerman, Elymais, and Mesene. Withdrawing again to Persis, he met the Parthian army at Hormizdagan (site unknown) in AD 224 and won a decisive victory, slaying Artabanus. Soon after, Ardashir entered the Parthian capital of Ctesiphon, in Mesopotamia, in triumph and was crowned "king of kings of Iran."
With his son and successor, Shapur I, Ardashir established the Sasanian empire. Nothing is known of Ardashir's personal life; his deeds, however, indicate that he was ruthless, a great soldier, and a capable king. He founded or rebuilt many cities and is credited with digging canals and building bridges. Several great rock carvings commemorate his reign.
Ardashir made Zoroastrianism the state religion, and he and his priest Tosar are credited with collecting the holy texts and establishing a unified doctrine. Two treatises, The Testament of Ardashir and The Letter of Tosar, are attributed to them. As patron of the church, Ardashir appears in Zoroastrian tradition as a sage. As founder of the dynasty, he is celebrated in a 5th-century book in Pahlavi, the Karnamag-i Ardashir. ~0185 King Of Persia Babak Prince In Persis Sasan Still Living. UNKNOWN Rodak Still Living.

Note:
Artabanus IV (fl. 3rd century), last king of the Parthian empire (reigned c. AD 213-224) in southwest Asia.
He was the younger son of Vologases IV, who died probably in 207, and was ruling the Median provinces at the time of his rebellion (c. 213) against his brother, Vologases V. By 216 he had apparently extended his power over the Mesopotamian part of the empire, although Vologases continued to strike coins at the Seleucia mint until 222 or 223. The Roman emperor Caracalla attacked Artabanus in 216, ravaging much of Media and desecrating the Parthian royal tombs at Arbela (modern 'Arbil, Iraq). In 217 Artabanus counterattacked; Caracalla was assassinated, and his successor, Macrinus, who was defeated at Nisibis (Nisibin), made peace with heavy indemnities. Meanwhile, however, Ardashir the Sasanian, who had begun his rule as petty king in the province of Persis in 208, had been steadily extending his domains and winning Iranian allies against Parthian overlordship. Revolt became general, and Artabanus was finally killed in battle against Ardashir. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97, ARTABANUS]
----------
Artabanus IV., the last Parthian king, younger son of Vologaeses IV., who died A.D. 209. He rebelled against his brother Vologaeses V. (Dio Cass. vii, 12), and soon obtained the upper hand, although Vologaeses V. maintained himself in a part of Babylonia till about A.D. 222. The Emperor Caracalla, wishing to make use of this civil war for a conquest of the East, attacked the Parthians in 216. He crossed the Tigris, destroyed the towns and spoiled the tombs of Arbela; but when Artabanus advanced at the head of an army, he retired to Carrhae. There he was murdered by Macrinus in April 217. Macrinus was defeated at Nisibis and concluded a peace with Artabanus, in which he gave up all the Roman conquests, restored the booty, and paid a heavy contribution to the Parthians (Dio Cass. lxxviii. 26 et seq.). But at the same time, the Persian dynast Ardashir had already begun his conquests in Persia and Carmania. When Artabanus tried to subdue him his troops were defeated. The war lasted several years; at last Artabanus himself was vanquished and killed (A.D. 226), and the rule of the Arsacids came to an end D. ~0289 Princess Of Kabul ~0380 UNKNOWN Sashandukht Resh Galuta Name Suffix:<NSFX> Exilarch Of The Jews Of The Empire

Adhering to King Stephen in his contest with the empress, he was taken prisoner with that monarch at the battle of Lincoln. In 1148, he accompanied Lewis, King of France, to the Holy Land, and there acquired great renown by vanquishing a stout and hardy pagan in single combat. He was afterwards involved in the rebellion of Prince Henry against King Henry II and lost some of his castles. His grants to the church were munificent in the extreme, and his piety was so fervent that he again assumed the cross and made a second journey to the Holy Land where he was made prisoner but redeemed by the knight's Templars.

Hugh IV was knighted by Henry I but seems to have responded ungratefully, because he supported Amauri de Montfort in his rebellion against Henry in 1118, but he was forgiven by his royal patron and reinstated in his manors. In 1120 there were further intrigues, which induced the Pope to intervene and arrange a reconciliation. Hugh IV seems later to have atoned by founding (or confirming the foundaton of) the Abbey of Beaubec. In fact, in 1134 he was made, with William de Roumare, Earl of Lincoln, a Commander of the frontiers; but when Stephen became King, he once again showed inconsistancy in his loyalty.
In 1141 he was on the French side in a siege that the future King Henry II made of LaFerte, which was burnt down. At Whitsun 1147 he accompanied Louis the Young, King of France, on the Second Crusade.
After Henry II became King he siezed two of Hugh IV's manors - those of Wendover and Houghton, Bedfordshire, and he was much more unfortunate in 1173 when the young Prince Henry, in rebellion against his father Henry II, stormed and burnt Gournay Castle, taking Hugh and his elder son prisoner.
Like his father, Hugh IV was an enthusiastic supporter of the Crusades. At great age he took part in another expedition to Palestine in 1180 but died that same year in Italy.
Hugh IV married twice, each time into a leading family. Beatrice de Vermandois was a granddaughter of King Henri of France ~1076 Edith De Warenne ~1055 - 1088 William De Warenne 33 33 Name Suffix:<NSFX> 1st Earl Of Warren & Surrey

William Warenne was one of those followers of William of Normandy who made their fortunes by the conquest of England. The younger son of Rudulf of Varenne in Normandy, he distinguished himself in ducal service as a very young man in the early 1050s. After the ducal victory at Mortemer (1054) he received estates in upper Normandy, but it was only after the English invasion that he attained the front rank. He fought at Hastings and was rewarded with lands which by 1086 extended into thirteen counties, most notably strategically important estates in Sussex centered round Lewes. By the end of William I's reign he was one of the dozen largest individual landowners in England. He repaid his debt with vigorous loyalty in both England and France. In 1075 he played a leading role in suppressing the revolt of the earls of Hereford and Norfolk. After the Conqueror's death, Warenne supported William Rufus in 1087-88 against Robert Curthose and Odo of Bayeux. Rufus encouraged his service by creating him earl of Surrey in 1088. The same year Warenne was seriously wounded by an arrow in his leg at the siege of Pevensey and died at his foundation of Lewes Priory on 24 June 1088.
Warenne's career was more than meteoric. A younger son of an obscure minor Norman nobleman, he had risen through conspicuous loyalty to his lord to become not only one of the richest men in one of the richest kingdoms of Europe but also the founder of a dynasty which, powerful, wealthy and influential, survived as earl of Surrey until 1347. Warenne's foundation at Lewes (1078/80) was the first Cluniac house in England, another sign of the Conquest's effect on establishing institutional as well as personal links across the Channel. Warenne's success depended on the traditional chivalric virtues of loyalty, bravery and prowess in arms. His life illustrates the stupendous prizes and the personal dangers on offer to those who joined the conquest of England. It was appropriate that Warenne's direct descendent, John De Warenne, Earl of Surrey (1231-1304), when challenged in 1278 by royal commissioners to produce title to his land, produced an old rusty sword declaring, 'Here, my Lord, is my warrant (warrantus: a pun which no doubt appealed to the somewhat intractable sense of honour of the time). My ancestors came with William the Bastard and won their lands with the sword, and by the sword I will hold them against all comers.' Earl John won his case. William of Warenne would have approved.

That this family was of great antiquity in the county of Lancaster is evident from the register of Cokersand Abbey, to which religious house some of its members were benefactors in King John's time. The first person of the name of any note was Robert de Holand, who was in the wars of Scotland, 31st Edward I [1303] and who owed his advancement to his becoming secretary to Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, for previously he had been but a "poor knight." In the 1st Edward II [1307], he obtained large territorial grants from the crown, viz., the manors of Melburne, Newton, Osmundeston, Swarkeston, Chelardeston, Normanton, and Wybeleston, in the county of Derby, and the same year had a military summons to march against the Scots. In the 8th Edward II [1315], he was first summoned to parliament as a baron; and in the 10th and 12th, he was again in the wars of Scotland, in which latter year he had license to make a castle of his manor house of Bagworth, co. Leicester. Upon the insurrection of his old master, Thomas, Earl of Lancaster (15th Edward II), his lordship promised that nobleman, to whom he owned his first rise in the world, all the aid in his power, but failing to fulfill his engagement, Lancaster was forced to fly northwards and was finally taken prisoner at Boroughbridge, when Lord Holand rendered himself to the king at Derby and was sent prisoner to Dover Castle. For this duplicity he became so odious to the people that, being afterwards made prisoner a second time, in a wood near Henley Park, toward Windsor, he was beheaded on the nones of October, anno 1328, and his head sent to Henry, Earl of Lancaster, then at Waltham Cross, co. Essex, by Sir Thomas Wyther and some other private friends.

Note: Sir Alan La Zouche in the 26th Henry III [1242] had a military summons to attend the king into France, and in ten years afterwards had the whole county of Chester and all North Wales placed under his government. In the 45th of the same reign [1272] he obtained a charter for a weekly market at Ashby-la-Zouche, in Leicestershire, and for two fairs in the year at Swavesey. About the same time he was constituted warden of all the king's forests south of Trent, as also sheriff of Northamptonshire. In the 46th he was made justice itinerant for the cos. Southampton, Buckingham, and Northampton; and upon the arbitration made by Lewis, King of France, between Henry III and the barons, he was one of the sureties oh behalf of the king. In three years afterwards he was constituted constable of the Tower of London and governor of the castle at Northampton.

Geoffrey II Martel, son of Fulk III, pursued the policy of expansion begun by his father but left no sons as heirs. The countship went to his eldest nephew, Geoffrey III the Bearded. But the latter's brother, Fulk, discontented over having inherited only a few small appanages, took advantage of the general discontent aroused by Geoffrey III's inept rule, seized Saumur and Angers (1067), and cast Geoffrey first into prison at Sablé and later in the confines of Chinon castle (1068). Fulk's reign then had to endure a series of conflicts against the several barons, Philip I of France, and the duke of Normandy.

By some historians, this nobleman is styled Earl of Carlisle, from residing in that city; and they further state that he came over in the train of the Conqueror, assisted in the subjugation of England, and shared, of course, in the spoil of conquest. He was lord of Cumberland and Carlisle, by descent from his father, but having enfeoffed his two brothers, William, of Coupland, and Geffrey, of Gillesland, in a large portion thereof, he exchanged the Earldom of Cumberland for that of Chester, on condition that those whom he had settled there should hold their lands of the king, in capite.

About the year 1028, a wealthy widow named Godgifu, "gift of God", or Godiva (there are 17 different spellings of her name), believing herself to be on her deathbed, bequeathed her considerable property to the monastery at Ely, England. But she recovered and a decade or so later remarried, soon interesting her new husband, Leofric, the earl of Mercia, in her charitable donations. Leofric and Godiva moved to Coventry in Warwickshire from Shrewsbury, Shropshire where Leofric had earned his fortune in the mutton trade.
In 1043 the earl and his lady founded a Benedictine monastery at Coventry on the site of the present-day bombed-out ruin of Coventry Cathedral and nearby new Coventry Cathedral which was built by German students after World War II. On October 4, the monastery (or abbey) which was named in honor of St. Eunice of Saxmundham and was dedicated to St. Peter, St. Osburg, All Saints, and the Virgin Mary, to whom Godiva was particularly devoted. Her later gifts of gold and gems made the monastery chapel one of the richest in England. After the earl's death, Lady Godiva continued her patronage of at least half a dozen more monasteries.
Yet, it is not for such good works that Lady Godiva is remembered, but rather for her legendary ride through Coventry in the nude. The people of Coventry, as most subjects of Edward the Confessor in England, were suffering from the burden of high taxes. But their pleas for relief went unheeded by Leofric, who had his own obligations to meet and who was not above passing them on to the citizenry. Instead of mercy, Coventry's inhabitants received notice of a tax increase. To meet it they would have to impoverish themselves.
Filled with compassion for the desperate people, Lady Godiva approached her husband - as she had on earlier occasions - to ask that he suspend the onerous levies. Perhaps angered at her persistence, and wishing to put an end to her tiresome requests, the earl made an outlandish proposal. "Mount your horse naked," he said to his wife, "and pass through the market of the town, from one end to the other, when the people are assembled." On her return from the ride, he promised, Godiva would be granted her wish and the townspeople would be spared the burdensome new taxes.
Leofric expected his wife to withdraw in shock and embarrassment. Instead, to his astonishment, she agreed. The following day, completely unclothed, Godiva mounted a charger and rode through the marketplace. She was accompanied by two female servants also on horseback, though fully dressed.
The story of her ride first appeared in the Flores Historiarum of Roger of Wendover, an historian who lived some two centuries after Lady Godiva's time. He seems to have based his account on the work of an earlier but now lost chronicle. Subsequent writers steadily embellished the tale. In one version, Lady Godiva's body was concealed by her flowing hair and another has her enveloped in a God-granted cloak of invisibility. In yet another, she orders Coventry's inhabitants to remain indoors behind shuttered windows on the morning of the ride, thus sparing herself the rude stares of the common folk. Early in the 18th century, another character was added to the narrative. A tailor named Tom, it was claimed, disobeyed her command. When he peeked through a crack in the shutter of his window, Tom was miraculously struck blind. The justly punished voyeur was the original "peeping Tom."
As for Leofric's taxes, the humbled earl rewarded his wife's act of compassion by lifting all tolls on Coventry except those for keeping horses. As late at the 17th century, the town was still boasting of such a tax-exempt status. ~1040 Seigneur De Dunstanville Rainfrey UNKNOWN Muriel Still Living. ~1150 - 1208 Lord De Biseth Henry 58 58 Alice La Zouche Still Living. ~1205 Loretta La Zouche William La Zouche Still Living. ~1214 Ela De Quincy ~1196 - 1264 Roger II De Quincy 68 68 Name Suffix:<NSFX> 2nd Earl Of Winchester
Roger de Quincy (his elder brother, Robert, being still in the Holy Land), had livery of his father's estates and he subsequently s. to the Earldom of Winchester.

Saier de Quincy was created Earl of Winchester by King John about the year 1210. This nobleman was one of the lords present at Lincoln when William, King of Scotland, did homage to the English monarch, and he subsequently obtained large grants and immunities from King John; when, however, the baronial war broke out, his lordship's pennant waved on the side of freedom and he became so eminent amongst those sturdy chiefs that he was chosen one of the celebrated twenty-five barons appointed to enforce the observance of Magna Carta. Adhering to the same party after the accession of Henry III, the Earl of Winchester had a principal command at the battle of Lincoln and, there being defeated, was taken prisoner by the royalists. But submitting in the following October, he had restitution of all his lands and proceeded soon after, in company with the Earls of Chester and Arundel and others of the nobility, to the Holy Land where he assisted at the siege of Damietta, anno 1219, and d. the same year in his progress towards Jerusalem. His lordship m. Margaret, younger sister and co-heir of Robert Fitz-Parnell, Earl of Leicester, by which alliance he acquired a very considerable inheritance, and had issue, Robert, Roger, and Robert.

After the execution of Waltheof, Earl of Huntingdon, King William offered Judith, his niece, the deceased earl's widow, in marriage to Simon St. Liz, a noble Norman, but the lady peremptorily rejected the alliance, owing, Dugdale says, to St. Liz's halting in one leg, which refusal so displeased the Conqueror that he immediately seized upon the castle and honour of Huntingdon, which the countess held in dower, exposing herself and her dau. to a state of privation and obscurity in the Isle of Ely and other places, while he bestowed upon the said Simon St. Liz the town of Northampton and the whole hundred of Falkeley, then valued at £40 per annum, to provide shoes for his horses. St. Liz thus disappointed in obtaining the hand of the Countess of Huntingdon, made his addresses with greater success to her elder dau., the Lady Maud, who became his wife, when William conferred upon the said Simon de St. Liz, the Earldoms of Huntingdon and Northampton. This nobleman built the castle of Northampton as also the priory of St. Andrews there about the 18th year of the Conqueror's reign, and was a liberal benefactor to the church. His lordship was witness to King Henry I's laws in 1100, after which he made a voyage to the Holy Land and d. on his return (1115), at the abbey of Charity, in France, leaving issue, Simon, Waltheof, and Maud.
Upon the death of Simon de St. Liz, Earl of Huntingdon and Northampton, his elder son, Simon, should have succeeded to both dignities, but it appears he only inherited the former.

The county which gives designation to this earldom of Huntingdon was, according to Dr. Heylin, a thickly wooded forest until the reign of the 2nd Henry, when the timber was first cleared away; the chief town, from the celebrity of the forest as a chase, was called Huntingtown, which soon became abbreviated into Huntington, or Huntingdon. The Earldom of Huntingdom was conferred by William the Conqueror upon Waltheof (son of Syward, the Saxon Earl of Northumberland), who had m. the dau. of that monarch's sister, by the mother's side, Judith. He was also Earl of Northampton, and of Northumberland, but conspiring against the Normans, he was beheaded in 1073 at Winchester, leaving issue, Maud and Judith.

----------
Waltheof was the last of the Old English earls to survive under William I, his execution for treason in 1076 marking a significant stage in the aristocratic and tenurial revolution which followed 1066. Younger son of Siward, the Danish earl of Northumbria (1041-55) and Aelflaed, daughter of Aldred, earl of Northumbria, Waltheof received an earldom consisting of the shires of Huntingdon, Bedford, Northampton, Rutland, and Cambridge in 1065. As one of the few English magnates not from the Godwin faction, he accepted and was accepted by William I, witnessing royal charters and remaining loyal to the new regime until 1069 when he joined with the Danes in their invasion of Northumbria. He was prominent in their capture of York, hoping, no doubt, to be restored to his father's position. This opportunism is perhaps more characteristic of English magnate reactions to the political turmoil of 1065-70 than any supposed national feeling. However, the revolt and invasion were defeated by William's winter campaign of 1069-70. It is a measure of William's insecurity that when Waltheof submitted in 1070 he was restored to royal favour and, in 1072, added the earldom of Northumbria to his holdings. To bind him more tightly to the Norman dispensation, William gave him his niece Judith in marriage. But in 1075, Waltheof was implicated in the largely French revolt led by Ralph, earl of Norfolk, and Roger, earl of Hereford. Despite his lack of military action, his confession, apparent contrition and the support of Archbishop Lanfranc, Waltheof was executed on 31 May 1076.
The king's motives are obscure. Waltheof was the only prominent Englishman to be executed in the reign. Perhaps his removal was part of William's justifiably nervous response to the problem of controlling Northumbria. It may have made sense to take the chance to remove a potential --- and proven --- focus of northern discontent. Yet Waltheof's heirs were not harried, one daughter, Matilda, marrying David I of Scotland (1042-53), and another Ralph IV of Tosny, a leading Norman baron.
Waltheof is a significant reminder that the period around 1066 was transitional, with no necessarily definite beginnings or endings. Waltheof adapted to the new order, falling foul, it seems, of the ambitions and schemes of others, not least of parvenus Frenchmen. He married into the new elite, yet embodied the old. Heir to both English and Anglo-Danish traditions, it was he who completed one of the most celebrated of Anglo-Saxon blood-feuds. In 1016, Uchtred, earl of Northumbria was murdered by a northern nobleman called Thurbrand. He was, in turn, killed by Uchtred's son and successor, Ealdred, who was himself slain by Thurbrand's son, Carl. Waltheof's mother was Ealdred's daughter and he avenged his great-grandfather and grandfather by massacring a number of Carl's sons.
Waltheof was buried at Crowland Abbey where, as did many martyrs to royal policy in the middle ages, he found posthumous fame in a cult which, by the mid-twelfth century, was venerating him as a saint. Yet his career in the north shows D. 1055 Earl Of Northumbria Syward Came to England with the Danish invaders.

Charles I (b. 953--d. May 21, 992?, Orléans, Fr.), duke of Lower Lorraine, head of the only surviving legitimate line of the Carolingian dynasty by 987, and an unsuccessful claimant for the French throne.
Son of Louis IV of France, Charles was banished by his brother, King Lothair, in 977. Receiving the duchy of Lower Lorraine from Otto II of Germany in the same year, he conspired unsuccessfully with Otto to dethrone Lothair but then reversed his policy, made peace with Lothair, and plotted against the new German king, Otto III. After the deaths of Lothair (986) and Lothair's son and successor Louis V (987), Charles asserted his claim to the French throne. But Adalbero, archbishop of Reims, convinced the assembly of Frankish nobles that the Frankish crown was elective rather than hereditary and that Charles was unworthy of the kingship. The assembly then proclaimed Hugh Capet king of France.
Charles did not abandon his claim but, in 991, was seized and handed over to Hugh, who kept him in prison until his death. One son, Otto, succeeded him as duke of Lower Lorraine, dying about 1012; two other sons died obscurely. With them the legitimate male line of the Carolingians came to an end.

----------
Robert, Earl of Leicester, was the younger of the twin sons of Robert of Meulan, Henry I's chief adviser. While his brother, Waleran, was mercurial, even flashy, Robert was renowned for patience and circumspection. Very much under Waleran's shadow until the 1140's, Robert slowly built up one of the largest baronies in England and a major political position through alliances with other magnates and a growing network of vassals whose loyalty was secured by firm discipline. By 1154, Robert was perhaps the most powerful baron in England as well as being a political veteran whose reputation as an administrator, negotiator, and lawyer (in the words of Richard FitzNeal who knew him, 'a man of sound judgement, well educated and practised in legal affairs'). Something of an intellectual, his views on royal authority and treason were quoted by John of Salisbury in his "Policraticus" and he himself wrote on philosophy and astronomy. In 1155, Henry II harnessed both Robert's territorial power and his personal talents to the new regime by appointing him Justiciar, an office which he held, as the senior partner to Richard de Lucy, until his death.
Under his father's will, Robert received the family lands in England, including the earldom of Leicester, but in 1121 his marriage to Amice, heiress of Breteuil, brought him a strategically important fief in Normandy. Brought up in Henry I's court, by the early 1130s, Robert shared in the high favour bestowed on his family and their connections; he also witnessed fifteen royal charters between 1130 and 1135, a sign of things to come. With the death of Henry I and the accession of Stephen, Robert shared in the heyday of Beaumont power, taking the opportunity to settle old scores with territorial rivals, such as the Tosnis in Normandy. In 1139 he helped his brother destroy Roger of Salisbury, receiving from Stephen the city and earldom of Hereford the following year. Robert's diplomatic skills were exercised in 1141 when he negotiated the division of the family lands so that he could retain his English estates as a supporter of Stephen and his brother Waleran the French lands as an adherent of the Angevins. Although remaining a close associate of King Stephen, Robert spent much of the rest of the reign securing his own position. Independent of the king, he formed treaties with Angevin magnates, such as Ranulf of Chester, in order to reduce the prospects of damage to his landed interests, especially in the Midlands. He was notorious for controlling his tenants over whom he lay the constant threat of disseisin. In 1153, he changed sides, soon becoming one of Henry FitzEmpress's chief counsellors and having his Norman estates restored.
As Justiciar, he acted as Henry's main adviser at court and his representative when the king was abroad. Although prominent in the Becket controversy, he avoided the excommunications of 1166, perhaps because the archbishop saw him as of independent mind, a possible mediator. His duties as Justiciar included presiding at the Exchequer; carrying out royal writs; ov 1046 - 1118 Robert I De Beaumont 72 72 Name Suffix:<NSFX> 1st Earl Of Leicester
Robert de Bellomont, or Beaumont (son of Roger, grandson of Turlof [Tourade] of Pont Audomere by Wevia, sister to Gunnora, wife of Richard I, Duke of Normandy), came into England with the Conqueror and contributed mainly to the Norman triumph at Hastings. This Robert inherited the earldom of Mellent in Normandy from his mother Adelina, dau. of Waleran, and sister of Hugh (who took the habit of monk in the abbey of Bec), both Earls of Mellent. Of his conduct at Hastings, William Pictavensis thus speaks: "A certain Norman young soldier, son of Roger de Bellomont, nephew and heir to Hugh, Earl of Mellent, by Adelina his sister, making the first onset in that fight, did what deserveth lasting fame, boldly charging and breaking in upon the enemy with that regiment which he commanded in the right wing of the army," for which gallant services he obtained sixty-four lordships in Warwickshire, sixteen in Leicestershire, seven in Wiltshire, three in Northamptonshire, and one in Gloucestershire, in all ninety-one. His lordship did not however arrive at the dignity of the English peerage before the reign of Henry I, when that monarch created him Earl of Leicester. The mode by which he attained this honour is thus stated by an ancient writer: "The city of Leicester had then four lords, viz., the king, the bishop of Lincoln, Earl Simon, and Yvo, the son of Hugh de Grentmesnel. This Earl of Mellent, by favour of the king, cunningly entering it on that side which belonged to Yvo (then governor thereof, as also sheriff and the king's farmer there), subjecting it wholly to himself, and by this means, being made an earl in England, exceeded all the nobles of the realm in riches and power." His lordship m. 1096, Isabel, dau. of Hugh, Earl of Vermandois, and had issue,

Robert, successor to the English earldom.
Hugh, surnamed Pauper, obtained the Earldom of Bedford from King Stephen, with the dau. of Milo de Beauchamp for the expulsion of the said Milo. Being a person (says Dugdale) remiss and negligent himself, he fell from the dignity of an earl to the state of a knights, and in the end to miserable poverty.

This great earl is characterised as "the wisest of all men betwixt this and Jerusalem in worldly affairs, famous for knowledge, plausible in speech, skillful in craft, discreetly provident, ingeniously subtile, excelling in prudence, profound in council, and of great wisdom." In the latter end of his days he became a monk in the abbey of Preaux, where he d. in 1118, and was s. in the earldom of Leicester by his 2nd son, Robert.

ROBERT OF MEULAN, LORD OF MEULAN and BEAUMONT, EARL OF LEICESTER, was the leading lay adviser to both William II and Henry I. Although in the course of a long public life he amassed extensive estates in England, Normandy and France, Robert was the nearest thing to a king's minister that contemporary circumstances allowed, the more remarkable as his successors as royal lay advisers -- with the exception of his own son Robert of Leicester, justiciar to Henry II -- tended to come from less exalted ranks of the nobility, men such as the justiciars Ranulf (de) Glanvill(e), Geoffrey FitzPeter, and Hubert de Burgh. Robert's career made a distinctive impression on contemporaries and affords a rare glimpse into how eleventh century politics worked.

Ralph de Wayer, Guader, or de Waet, was constituted by William the Conqueror, Earl of Norfolk and Suffolk. Some of our historians affirm that this nobleman was an Englishman by birth, born in Norfolk, but others, that he was a native of Brittany, which is the more probable as he was the owner of the castle of Guader, in that province. Of this earl there is nothing memorable beyond his conspiracy against his royal master, whom he sought to destroy or expel, and to that end drew into his plans Roger, Earl of Hereford, Waltheof, the great Earl of Northumberland, and other persons of distinction. He m. Emma, sister of the Earl of Hereford, and he took the opportunity of his wedding day to disclose to the conspirators, when they were elated with wine, the whole of his projects. As soon, however, as they had recovered the effect of inebriation, the greater number refused to participate and the Earl of Hereford alone joined him in openly resorting to arms. The rebellion was quickly suppressed, however, by those stout and warlike prelates, Odo, bishop of Bayeux, and Geffrey, bishop of Worcester. The Earl of Norfolk fled into Brittany, leaving his followers to their fate in their encampment at Cambridge; of those, many were put to the sword and more were taken prisoner. The castle of Norwich was subsequently besieged and his countess obliged to surrender, but she was suffered to go beyond sea. In the end, this turbulent person assumed the cross and joined an expedition to Jerusalem against the Turks under Robert Curthose where he afterwards became a pilgrim and died a great penitent. By the treason of alph de Wayer, his earldom became forfeited.

In the printed version of the text, the chronicle stops in 975, but fragments of the burned manuscript show that it continued into the reign of Aethelred (978-1016). Up to 894 it is based on a version of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, more ancient than any now surviving; thereafter it is an independent authority. Aethelweard was the patron of Aelfric the homilist.

He seems, however, to have stood aside in favour of his brother Aethelberht, king of Kent, to whose joint kingdoms he succeeded in 865 or 866. Aethelred's reign was one long struggle against the Danes. In the year of his succession a large Danish force landed in East Anglia, and in the year 868 Aethelred and his brother Alfred went to help Burgred of Mercia against this host, but the Mercians soon made peace with their foes. In 871 the Danes encamped at Reading, where they defeated Aethelred and his brother, but later in the year the English won a great victory at a place called "Aescesdun." Two weeks later they were defeated at Basing but partially retrieved their fortune by a victory at "Maeretun" (perhaps Marden in Wiltshire), though the Danes held the field.

William FitzOsbern was a military adventurer on a grand scale. The son of Osbern the Seneschal, one of William the Conqueror's murdered guardians, he became a close friend and steward of the duke. At the Council of Lillebonne in 1066 he urged the Norman barons to invade England and later played a leading role in the campaign commanding, according to the twelfth century writer Wace, the right wing at Hastings. His importance was signalled by the vast English estates with which he was rewarded, notably in the Wesh Marches. Within six months of Hastings, FitzOsbern was earl of Hereford and, with Odo of Bayeux, viceroy of England during William's absence in Normandy (March-December 1067). Heavily engaged in defence and assault against the Welsh, he assumed the task vital to rulers of the English since the seventh century. FitzOsbern set about his responsibilities with particular vigour and acumen. He became notorious for his generosity to his knights, lavishing special legal immunities and large wages on those who served him, this dispersal of treasure incurring, so William of Malmesbury two generations later claimed, the disapproval of the king. To reward his knights further, he settled many of them on lands previously belonging to the church. Uninhibited in exploiting his power over laity as well as clergy, he built a number of castles, for example at Clifford, Wigmore and Chepstow, with local forced labour. Such a policy was merely a continuation of earlier public obligations to contibute to the construction of ramparts which had been fully employed by rulers at least as far back as Ethelbald and Offa of Mercia in the eighth century. Now it provoked a revolt by an English dissident, Edric the Wild, in Herefordshire who allied with Welsh princes. Two years later, in 1069, FitzOsbern helped King William suppress the Northern insurrection and dealt with more trouble from Edric. He attracted further hostile comment from ecclesiastical writers by apparently advising a financially hard-pressed king in 1070 to seize treasure from the English monasteries. The main source for FitzOsbern's life, Orderic Vitalis, is torn between admiration at his material success and disapproval of his methods. Of the former there was no doubt. At Christmas 1070 he was in Normandy helping administer the duchy. Earl in 1071 he was sent to Flanders to protect the regent, Richildis, and her son, Arnulf, the young count (and William's nephew), against a rival claimant, Robert 'le Frison', Arnulf's uncle. To secure FitzOsbern's aid, Richildis offered him her hand in marriage. The air of chivalric romance was caught by the contemporary observation that FitzOsbern travelled to Flanders 'as if to a game.' If so, it proved fatal. He was killed in the decisive battle with Robert 'le Frison' at Cassel in February 1071.
FitzOsbern's dramatic career showed that the immemorial skills of warrior and warlord remained as central to the success of William the Conqueror as to that of any of the great fighting kings and heroes of the early Middle Ages. Whatever their political or administrative talents, which now seem rather less compelling than once they did, the French invaders of 1066 secured their conquests by violence, often crude and extreme. But it should be noticed the FitzOsbern secured his military support by rewards of cash and privileges as much as by grants of land: he relied on a paid host, not a 'feudal' levy in the classic sense. His life also suggests that in the eleventh as in other centuries, there was only a fine line separating art and nature: a murdered father; personal bravery; cruel conquest; great wealth and friendship with the great won by the sword; international fame for arms; a dowager in distress; the offer of marriage as well as power; and a death in the defence of a widow and orphan.

Malcolm II (1005-1034) Born - 954 Died November 25, 1034
The first to reign over an extent of land roughly corresponding to much of modern Scotland.
Malcolm succeeded to the throne after killing his predecessor, Kenneth III, and allegedly secured his territory by defeating a Northumbrian army at the Battle of Carham (1016) commanded by Uchtred, son of Waltheof, Earl of Northumberland. He not only confirmed the Scottish hold over the land between the rivers Forth and Tweed but also secured Strathclyde about the same time, defeating the Danes in 1017. Eager to secure the royal succession for his daughter's son Duncan, he tried to eliminate possible rival claimants, but Macbeth, with royal connections to both Kenneth II and Kenneth III, survived to challenge the succession. He was murdered 25 November 1034. ~0932 - 0995 II Kenneth 63 63 Name Suffix:<NSFX> King Of Scots

Kenneth II (971-995)
Kenneth began his reign by ravaging the Britons, probably as an act of vengeance, but his name is also included among a group of northern and western kings said to have made submission to the Anglo-Saxon king Edgar in 973, perhaps at Chester; and the chronicler Roger of Wendover (Flores Historiarum, under the year 975) states that shortly afterward Kenneth received from Edgar all the land called Lothian (i.e., between the Tweed and the Forth rivers). This is the first mention of the River Tweed as the recognized border between England and Scotland. Kenneth was slain, apparently by his own subjects, at Fettercairn in the Mear.
Kenneth II (d. 995), son of Malcolm I, king of Alban, succeeded Cuilean, son of Indulph, who was slain by the Britons of Strathclyde in 971 in Lothian. Kenneth began his reign by ravaging the British kingdom. Soon afterward he attacked Eadulf, earl of the northern half of Northumbria, and ravaged the whole of his territory. He fortified the fords of the Forth and again invaded Northumbria, carrying off the earl's son. About this time he gave the city of Brechin to the church. In 977 he is said to have slain Amlaiph or Olaf, son of Indulph, king of Alban, perhaps a rival claimant to the throne. According to the English chroniclers, Kenneth paid homage to King Edgar for the cession of Lothian (i.e., between the Tweed and the Forth rivers), but these statements are probably attributable to the controversy as to the position of Scotland as this is the first mention of the River Tweed as the recognized border between England and Scotland.
Kenneth's chiefs were continually engaged in a contest with Sigurd the Norwegian, earl of Orkney, for the possession of Caithness and the district of Scotland north of the Spey, but the Scots attained no permanent success. The central districts of Scotland, however, were consolidated during his reign. In 995 Kenneth was slain treacherously by his own subjects, according to the later chroniclers, at Fettercairn in the Mearns through an intrigue of Fenella, daughter of Cunchar, a mormaor of the earl of Angus. He was buried at Iona.

Spalding today is a prosperous Georgian town near the Wash surrounded by fertile plains of reclaimed fenland. It is the capital of the district of South Holland, the 'centre of tulipland.' There was nothing in 1086 to presage the area's future prosperity. Spalding was the largest of a string of villages along a belt of silt running beside what was then the coastline of the Wash. On one side was the sea, on the other the empty expanse of the marshy fens, unsettled because the peaty soil was too soft to build on. Its limited economy is evident from its Domesday entry with its references to fishing and saltmaking, and the absence of watermills or of almost any woodland.
The entries also reflect a conflict of interests that was to preoccupy Spalding's population for many centuries. In its original form this was between Ivo Tailbois, the lord of Spalding, and the Abbey of St Guthlac's at Croyland (now Crowland), nine miles to the east. Ivo was King William's nephew and had been his standard bearer at the Battle of Hastings, but is known best for the unhappy role he is said to have played in the rebellion of 1070-71, where Hereward was making his last stand against the Normans on the Isle of Ely. Ivo allegedly blundered so badly in attempting to flush a raiding party out of the woods that Hereward made off with the Abbot of Peterborough, whom Ivo was supposed to be defending. Later, when the rebels were being besieged on the island, so the story goes, Ivo persuaded the king to build a movable wooden tower with a sorceress at its top, to cast spells on the English defenders while its own soldiers built a wooden bridge across the marshes to the island. Hereward succeeded in outflanking the entire operation and in burning down both tower and bridge.
Nevertheless, after the revolt had been crushed, William granted the manor of Spalding to Ivo. It was the most important of his 100 Lincolnshire holdings, making him the county's largest landholder. Why he almost immediately made an enemy of the monks of Crowland Abbey and Ingulph, their abbot, is not clear. Perhaps he associated them with his humiliation at Ely, where the local monks had supported the other side. In any case, within a year he had given the priory at Spalding to the abbey of his home town, Angers.
In the interim, according to what was known as Abbot Ingulph's "Croyland History," Ivo, besides tormenting and harassing his own men, 'raged with such tyrannical and frantic fury' against the monks 'the he would many a time lame their cattle, oxen, as well as horses, would daily impound their sheep and poultry, and frequently strike down, kill and destroy their swine and pigs; while at the same time, the servants of the prior were often assaulted in the highways with swords and staves, and sometimes killed.' Eventually the monks retired to Croyland, and Ivo brought six monks over from Angers to replace them.
When William died in 1087, Ivo seized all the lands in his area belonging to Croyland, including the two carucates in Spalding mentioned by Domesday. Ingulph produced a charter from Earl Algar, Ivo's Saxon predecessor, proving Croyland's rights to the lands, and succeeded in having them restored by the new king, William II. Four years later, however, a fire destroyed the monastery and Ivo, assuming that all the charters had been burnt, again challenged the monks' title. But some charters had survived, providing the monks with the necessary evidence in court. Ivo next tried to belittle the charters because they were in Saxon characters.

William Longespee became Earl of Salisbury in right of his wife. In the beginning of King John's reign this nobleman was sheriff of Wiltshire, he was afterwards warden of the marches of Wales, and then sheriff of the counties of Cambridge and Huntingdon. About this period (14th John ) [1213], the baronial contest commencing, William Longespee at once espoused the royal cause and maintained it so stoutly that he was included by the barons amongst the evil councillors of the crown. The next year he was again constituted sheriff of Wilts and he held the office from that time during the remainder of his life. He had also a grant of the honour of Eye, in Suffolk, and was the same year a witness to the agreement made between King John and the barons as guarantee for the former. He was likewise a witness to the charter whereby John resigned his kingdom to the Pope. After this we find him a principal leader in the royal army until the very close of John's reign, when he swerved in his loyalty and joined, for a short period, the ranks of Lewis of France. Upon the accession, however, of Henry III [1216], he did homage to that monarch, particularly for the county of Somerset, which the king then gave him; and joining with William Marshall. governor of the king and kingdom, raised the siege of Lincoln when he was constituted sheriff of Lincolnshire and governor of Lincoln Castle, being invested at the same time with sheriff of the co. of Somerset, and governorship of the castle of Shirburne. His lordship soon afterwards accompanied the Earl of Chester to the Holy Land, and was at the battle of Damieta, in which the crescent triumphed. He served subsequently in the Gascon wars, whence returning to England, Dugdale relates, "there arose so great a tempest at sea that, despairing of life, he threw his money and rich apparel overboard. But when all hopes were passed, they discerned a mighty taper of wax burning bright at the prow of the ship and a beautiful woman standing by it who preserved it from wind and rain so that it gave a clear and bright lustre. Upon sight of which heavenly vision both himself and the mariners concluded of their future security, but everyone there being ignorant what this vision might portend except the earl, he, however, attributed it to the benignity of the blessed virgin by reason that, upon the day when he was honoured with the girdle of knighthood, he brought a taper to her altar to be lighted ever day at mass when the canonical hours used to be sung, and to the intent that, for this terrestrial light, he might enjoy that which is eternal." A rumour, however, reached England of the earls having been lost, and Hubert de Burgh, with the concurrence of the king, provided a suitor for his supposed widow, but the lady, in the interim, having received letters from her husband, rejected the suit with indignation. The earl soon after came to the king at Marlborough and, being received with great joy, he preferred a strong complaint against Hubert de Burgh, adding that, unless the king would do him right therein, he should vindicate himself otherwise to the disturbance of the public peace. Hubert, however, appeased his wrath with rich presents, and invited him to his table, where it is asserted that he was poisoned, for he retired to his castle of Salisbury in extreme illness and died almost immediately after, anno 1226.
William Longsword, 3rd earl of Salisbury, Longsword also spelled LONGESPÉE (d. March 7, 1226, Salisbury, Wiltshire, Eng.), an illegitimate son of Henry II of England, and a prominent baron, soldier, and administrator under John and Henry III. He acquired his lands and title from Richard I, who in 1196 gave him the hand of the heiress Ela, or Isabel, daughter of William, earl of Salisbury. He held numerous official positions in England under John.
He was sent on missions to France (1202) and to Germany (1209). In 1213-14 he organized John's Flemish allies, taking  ~1122 - 1204 Duchess Of Aquitaine Eleanor 82 82 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Queen Of England
Eleanor OF AQUITAINE, also called ELEANOR OF GUYENNE, French ÉLÉONORE, or ALIÉNOR, D'AQUITAINE, or DE GUYENNE (b. c. 1122--d. April 1, 1204, Fontevrault, Anjou, Fr.), 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 h 1113 - 1151 Geoffrey V Plantagenet 38 38 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Count Of Anjou

In 1106 Henry I, King of England defeated his brother Robert Curthose, duke of Normandy, in battle near Tinchebrai. Yet the coup de grace during the battle was delivered not by Henry himself or by his familia, but by the troops of Maine and Anjou under the command of Helias, Count of Maine. Given the pattern of hostility existing between Normans and Manceaux since the 1060s, it seems quite interesting and not a little odd to find Count Helias providing the crucial military assistance that allowed Henry, the youngest son of the conqueror, to make himself master of Normandy. Why, then, would Helias have chosen to help any son of the Conqueror to enhance his power? Many possible answers to this question exist. Among the several that I consider are an explanation that sees their relationship based upon vertical bonds of lordship and vassalage, one that favors self-centered considerations of political interest, and one that acknowledges the importance of the type of warrior ethos exemplified by the Song of Roland and other epics - an ethos that emphasized aristocratic warfare and companionship. Yet, even while acknowledging the presence of these and other factors, I argue that the most important reason for Helias' presence at Tinchebrai in 1106 was the fact that he and Henry were very good friends.
Friendship between secular figures is a dicey issue, however, since the brevity and nature of medieval sources often makes it difficult to distinguish friendship from common interest. Nevertheless, the evidence from Norman, Angevin and Manceaux chronicles suggests that Helias had established close personal connections with both Henry I and Geoffrey Martel (the eldest son and presumed heir of Count Fulk Réchin of Anjou, and like Helias an ally during Henry's Norman campaigns) during the tumultuous warfare that took place along the Norman-Manceau border during the late 1090s. I argue that these three men shared a common experience at that time as noble, but relatively powerless young men - men who, not yet entrusted with real authority, had to fight to retain their birthrights. In this sense their experiences in the 1090s were similar to Duby's juvenes, youths who had not yet settled down into marriage and responsibility and who formed bands of "friends" who loved each other "like brothers."
The presence of Helias (and of Geoffrey Martel) in Henry I's Norman campaigns may thus be explained by the presence of close personal relations, ones described by various chroniclers as bonds of friendship and intimacy. I conclude the paper by suggesting that relationships based upon such intangibles as emotion, personality, and honor were extremely important - as important, perhaps as the structural elements of politics that are so commonly emphasized. After all, decades of war in Maine were ended by the establishment of a personal relationship based upon familiaritas and common experience, not by a vertical bond of lordship, not by a marriage alliance, not even by geo- political interests. This is not to deny that social and political structures made a difference - it surely mattered that Henry was a king and Helias a count; it is, however, to argue that any attempt to understand the nature of aristocratic society and of political events during this period must also wrestle with the slippery intangibles and must accept and acknowledge the role of personality and friendship. ~1032 - 1097 I Jean 65 65 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Seigneur De La Fleche ~1002 - ~1060 I Lancelin 58 58 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Seigneur De Baugency ~0977 Seigneur De Baugency Landry ~1032 Paula Of Maine ~1002 - 1036 Count Of Maine Herbert 34 34 III Hugh Name Suffix:<NSFX> Count Of Maine

Adalbert, Italian ADALBERTO (d. c. 966), Lombard king of Italy who shared the throne for 11 years with his father, Berengar II, and after Berengar's exile continued his father's struggle against the German king and Holy Roman emperor Otto I.
Adalbert joined his father in 946-947 in fighting the co-kings of Italy, Hugh of Provence and his son Lothair. After Lothair's death in 950, Adalbert was crowned with Berengar at Pavia. When Lothair's widow, Adelaide, refused to marry Adalbert and Berengar imprisoned her, Otto I marched into Italy in 951 to rescue and marry her. After Otto's return to Germany, Berengar and Adalbert resumed the throne and in August 952 swore homage to Otto.
In 956 Otto sent his son Liudolf against Berengar and Adalbert, but, when Liudolf died of malaria after a temporary victory, the co-kings continued to rule. When Otto again invaded Italy and was crowned emperor (962) by the pope, Adalbert fled to Provence.
Returning to Italy in the autumn of 963, Adalbert was summoned to Rome by Pope John XII, who had quarreled with Otto and now offered his support to Adalbert. Adalbert and the pope fled when Otto marched on Rome, installing a new pope, Leo VIII. With Otto back in Germany, Adalbert assumed the throne again.

When her husband died (1125) leaving her childless, her father, whose only surviving legitimate child she then was, persuaded his reluctant barons to accept her, on oath, as his successor (Jan. 1, 1127). The novel prospect of a female ruler was itself unwelcome; Matilda's 17-year absence in Germany (where she was not unpopular) and her apparent arrogrance estranged her from her father's subjects. Difficulties also might result from her remarriage to provide for the succession. Her marriage in 1128 to Geoffrey Plantagenet, heir to Anjou and Maine (designed by Henry I, like her first marriage, for political ends), whose father, CountFulk, departed immediately after the ceremony to become the consort of Melisende of Jerusalem, flouted the barons' stipulation that she should not marry outside England without their consent, and was unpopular in Normandy and England. On Henry I's death, his nephew Stephen by prompt action secured England and was recognized by Pope Innocent II. Matilda and Geoffrey, however, made some headway in Normandy. Matilda's subsequent challenge to Stephen's position in England mainly depended on the support of her half-brother Earl Robert of Gloucester. After the defeat and capture of Stephen at Lincoln (Feb. 1141), Matilda was elected "lady of the English" and would have been queen could she have proceeded to coronation, but active support for her cause still came mainly from the western counties. Her chance of consolidating her precarious victory was swiftly destroyed by a reaction initated by her tactless handling of London. After her defeat at Winchester in Sept. 1141, her supporters, slowly reduced by death and defection, maintained a stubborn defense until Earl Robert died (1147) and Matilda retired (1148) to Normandy, of which her husband had gained possession. She continued to interest herself in the government of the territories of her eldest son, the future Henry II of England. Her career was not entirely unsuccessful: all the subsequent monarchs of England have been her descendants, not Stephen's. She died in Normandy on Sept. 10, 1167. ~1115 - 1190 Walter I De Clifford 75 75 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Lord Of Clifford

Moreover, that growing acquainted with her, after some time he conducted her to England, and presented her to King Richard who, receiving her very courteously, gave her in marriage to William, surnamed Longespee, from the long sword which he usually wore, his brother, that is, a natural son of King Henry II by Fair Rosamond; and that thereupon King Richard rendered unto him the earldom of Rosmar, as her inheritance."

ROBERT OF BELLÊME, EARL OF SHREWSBURY, was one of the most powerful Anglo-Norman magnates of the second generation after the Conquest. Son of Roger of Montgomery, first earl of Shrewsbury, he had already acquired large estates in Normandy and Maine before his father's death in 1094 when he received, as the elder surviving son, the patrimonial lands in the duchy. In 1098, on the death of his younger brother Hugh, he received the extensive Marcher earldom of Shrewsbury and the family property in Sussex, to which Robert added the Midland fief of Tickhill by purchase and the county of Ponthieu by marriage. He thus controlled lands stretching from the Somme estuary and northern Maine, through Normandy, southern England to the Midlands and into Wales. He personified a Norman 'Empire' linked rather than divided by the Channel. In Rufus's reign he was notorious for two things: his cruelty and his interest in military architecture, both useful attributes for a man in his position. If his power was spectacular, so was his fall. Robert had supported Robert Curthose for the English throne in 1088 and, although he had formally accepted Henry I in 1100, retained this loyalty, possibly calculating that his own power would be the greater under the ineffectual Curthose. In 1102, all his English lands were confiscated after an abortive attempt to resist Henry, who, unable to trust Robert, had determined to destroy him. The rest of Robert's political career was spent in Normandy, his opposition to Henry persisting even after Curthose's defeat in 1106. In 1112 Henry lost patience. Robert was arrested and incarcerated, first in Normandy, then, from 1113, at Wareham in Dorset. There he spent the rest of his life, hidden from view except for a reference in the Pipe Roll of 1130 to payments for his maintenance and clothing. The Wheel of Fortune had come round. His grandfather had been a minor ducal official in Normandy. Through good marriages, the patronage of William the Conqueror, and their own predatory instincts, the family had reached the highest rung of the nobility. Their rise had been spotted with blood, of their opponents and subjects; sometimes their own: Robert's mother, Mabel, had been brutally murdered; his brother Hugh killed by a viking on a raid to Anglesey. The ascent and destruction of Robert's family provides an object lesson in how Anglo-Norman politics worked away from the sanitized niceties of government bookkeeping.

Louis II, byname LOUIS THE STAMMERER, French LOUIS LE BÈGUE (b. Nov. 1, 846--d. April 10, 879, Compiègne, Fr.), king of Francia Occidentalis (the West Frankish kingdom) from 877 until his death.
After the death of his elder brother Charles in 866, Louis, the son of King Charles II the Bald, was made king of Aquitaine under his father's tutelage in 867. Charles became emperor in 875 and two years later left Louis as regent while he defended Italy for Pope John VIII. Louis was elected king of the West Franks to succeed his father as king of the West Franks in December 877, but not as emperor. He was crowned king by Hincmar, archbishop of Reims, on Dec. 8, and in Sept. 878 he was consecrated afresh by Pope John VIII. At a council at Troyes in 878, the Pope attempted to force Louis to take up the role of defender of the papacy, but Louis refused. Louis and his cousin Louis the Younger, ruler of the East Frankish kingdom, agreed to maintain the division of Lotharingia that their respective fathers had negotiated in the Treaty of Mersen in 870. Louis had hoped to redistribute offices of state but was frustrated by the Frankish magnates, who had accepted him as king on the condition that he respect their possessions and rights. After an ineffectual reign of eighteen months Louis died at Compiègne on April 10 or 11, 879.
By his first wife, Ansgarde, a Burgundian princess, he had two sons, his successors, Louis III. and Carloman; by his second wife, Adelaide, he had a posthumous son, Charles the Simple, who also became king of France.

Dec. 16, 999, Seltz, Alsace [now in France]; feast day December 16), was the daughter of Rudolph II of Burgundy, and married, in 947, Lothair, who succeeded his father Hugh as king of Italy. Lothair died in 950 and Adelaide was imprisoned at Como by his successor, Berengar II, marquis of Ivrea, who wished to compel her to marry his son Adalbert. After four months (Aug. 951) she escaped and took refuge at Canossa with Atto, count of Modena-Reggio. Meanwhile Otto I, the German king, whose English wife, Edgitha, had died in 946, came to Italy. Adelaide met him at Pavia, asked him to help her regain the throne. Otto marched into Lombardy (September 951), declared himself king, and married her (December 951). On Feb. 2, 962, she was crowned empress at Rome by Pope John XXII immediately after her husband, and she accompanied Otto in 966 on his third expedition to Italy, where she remained with him for six years. She devoted her time to promoting Cluniac monasticism and to strengthening the allegiance of the German church to the emperor.
After Otto I's death (May 7, 973), Adelaide exercised for some years a controlling influence over her son, the new emperor, Otto II, until their estrangement in 978. The causes of their estrangement are obscure, but it was possibly due to the empress' lavish expenditure in charity and church building, which was a serious drain on the imperial finances. In 978 she left the court and lived partly in Italy, partly with her brother Conrad, king of Burgundy, by whose mediation she was ultimately reconciled to her son. In 983, shortly before his death, Otto appointed her his regent in Italy, and, in concert with the Empress Theophano, widow of Otto II, and Archbishop Wiligis of Mainz, defended the right of her infant grandson, Otto III, to the German crown against the pretensions of Henry the Quarrelsome, duke of Bavaria.
In June 984 the infant king was handed over by Henry to the care of the two empresses; but the masterful will of Theophano the Greek empress soon obtained the upper hand. Adelaide lived in Lombardy from 985 to 991and had no voice in German affairs. After the death of Theophano on June 15, 991, Adelaide returned to Germany to serve as sole regent, in concert with Archbishop Willigis and a council of princes of the empire, and held it until Otto was declared of age in 995. In 996 the young king went to Italy to receive the imperial crown, and from this date Adelaide retired from court life, devoting herself to pious exercises, to correspondence with the abbots Majolus and Odilo of Cluny, and to the foundation of churches and religious houses. She died on Dec. 17, 999, and was buried in the convent of Saints Peter and Paul, her favorite foundation, at Salz in Alsace. By the emperor Otto I she had four children: Otto II (d. 983); Mathilda, abbess of Quedlinburg (d. 999); Adelheid (Adelaide), abbess of Essen (d. 974); and Liutgard Clemence De Foix Still Living. ~1005 - 1045 Lord Of Carlisle And Allerdale Maldred 40 40 ~1100 Matilda Of Aquitaine ~0977 - 1036 Bernard Rodgar 59 59 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Count Of Conserans

Titled Earl of Cornwall 4
Note:
Robert of Mortain, half-brother of William the Conqueror, became the wealthiest subject of the English crown in the generation after the Conquest. The second son of the Conqueror's mother, Herleve, and Herluin, vicomte of Conteville, Robert was appointed count of Mortain in south-west Normandy by William around 1055. Robert's elevation was part of William's policy of creating a close network of loyal nobles, often related to the ducal house, with and through whom William controlled his duchy and, later, was to conquer his kingdom (Robert's full brother, Odo, was bishop of Bayeux). Robert's prominent part in the invasion of England was remembered in his depiction in the Bayeux Tapestry advising William with his brother Odo after the landing at Pevensey. Both at Hastings and during the often difficult pacification of England 1066-69, Robert proved an effective military subordinate to William. His reward was massive. By 1086, with almost eight hundred manors from Sussex to Yorkshire to Cornwall, as well as valuable castles, such as Pevensey, Robert was the greatest secular landholder after the king and the church. Together, his and Odo's estates were worth £5,000: the next richest lay holding were valued at £750. However powerful his grip on his vassals, William preferred to keep power in the family. This presented problems; both his brother Odo of Bayeux and son Robert Curthose openly rebelled. Unlike the restless Odo, Robert of Mortain made little individual mark on events. He spent much time with his half-brother in a career, until 1087, conspicuous by its loyalty. In 1087, Robert persuaded the dying king to release Odo from prison and was probably one of those who insisted that Robert Curthose succeed to Normandy. Although initially accepting William Rufus as king, in 1088 Robert threw in his lot with Odo and Curthose. He held Pevensey for the rebels, withstanding a six-week siege by Rufus in person. After his submission, he was pardoned but withdrew to Normandy to die. Robert emerges dimly from the records, the least colourful or defined of a family of striking personalities. He seems to have been on close terms with both his brothers and to have harboured a soft spot for Robert Curthose. Alternatively, he wished to preside over his lands free from superior exactions, an independence fostered perhaps by his paternal inheritance (it was in his father's monastery at Grestain that he was buried), and later offered by the policies of Odo and the character of Curthose. Only the accident of his mother's liaison with Duke Robert I elevated this child of provincial aristocracy to the greatest heights of the Anglo-Norman baronage. In the eleventh century at least, nobility could be acquired by favour and fortune, not just by blood.

Robert de Moreton, Earl of Cornwall with a grant of 793 manors. In the time of William Rufus, this nobleman joining his brother, the Earl of Kent, raised the standard of rebellion in favour of Robert Curthose, and held the castle of Pevensey for that prince. He delivered it up, however, upon its being invested by the king, and made his peace. His lordship m.

The time of the Earl of Cornwall's death has not been ascertained, "but if he lived," says Dugdale, "after King William Rufus so fatally lost his life by the glance of an arrow in New Forest from the bow of Walter Tirell, then it was unto him that this strange apparition happened, which I shall here speak of; otherwise, it must be to his son and successor, Earl William, the story whereof is as followeth.

Nicholas de Segrave, who, in the 43rd Henry III [1259], attended that monarch into Frances, but soon after espoused the cause of the barons and became one of their most active leaders. In the 47th of Henry's reign [1263], he was amongst those who appeared openly in arms and fortified Northampton, for which proceeding his lands were seized by the crown. Upon the subsequent fall of Northampton to the royalists, Nicholas de Segrave fled to London, where the citizens having raised a large army for the barons made him their general. At the head of this force, he marched with Gilbert de Clare and Henry de Hastings to the siege of Rochester, and thence to Lewes, at which place the celebrated battle, so disastrous to the king, commenced by a charge made by Segrave and the head of the Londoners; in this, however, he was worsted by Prince Edward who, flushed with success, pursued his advantage too far and thus mainly contributed to the defeat which the royal arms sustained. This issue of this battle is well known. The king, Prince Edward, and the chief of their adherents became prisoners to the rebels who followed up their triumph by immediately summoning a parliament in the king's name, to which Nicholas de Segrave was summoned as Baron Segrave, 24 December, 1264. But the tide soon ebbing, he was among the defeated at Evesham where he was wounded and make prisoner. He was, however, admitted to the benefit of the Dictum of Kenilworth, and obtained a full pardon with restoration of his lands which had been seized. In four years afterwards, he attended Prince Edward to the Holy Land and when that prince ascended the throne, he appears to have enjoyed a large share of royal favour. In the 4th year of Edward's reign [1276], he was with the king in a campaign against the Welsh and was subsequently employed in Scotland and Ireland, having had a second summons to parliament 24 June, 1295. His lordship m. Maud de Lucy, by whom he had issue, John, Nicholas, Geoffrey, Peter, Gilbert, and Annabel. Lord Segrave d. 1295, and was s. by his eldest son, John de Segrave, 2nd baron.

Annabil, dau. and co-heir of Robert de Chaucombe, obtained a grant in the 15th Henry III [1231] from Simon de Montfort, lord of Leicester, of the whole town of Kegworth, co. Leicester, and in two years after, had a grant from the crown of the manor of Newcastle-under-Lyme, co Stafford, being the same year constituted governor of Bolsover Castle. In the 26th Henry III [1241], he was made justice of all the royal forests south of Trent, and governor of Kenilworth Castle. In the 35th of the same reign, he was constituted one of the justices of Oyer and Terminer, in the city of London, to hear and determine all such causes as had usually been tried before the justice itinerant, at the Tower of London. In three years afterwards, being deputed with Roger Bigod, Earl Marshal, on an embassy, he was treacherously seized, along with John de Plessets, Earl of Warwick, and divers others of the English nobility, by the French as he was returning, and d. within a short period of the severe treatment he had received in prison. His decease occurred somewhat about the year 1254, when he was s. by his son, Nicholas de Segrave. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited, and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, 1883, p. 484, Segrave, Barons Segrave of Barton Segrave] ~1176 - 1241 Stephen De Segrave 65 65 Stephen de Segrave, who, in the 5th King John [1204], was constable of the Tower of London, and, remaining faithful to that monarch in his conflicts with the barons, obtained a grant (17th John) [1216] of the lands of Stephen de Gant, lying in the cos. Lincoln and Leicester, with the manor of Kintone, co. Warwick. In the 4th Henry III [1220], he was made governor of Saubey Castle, Leicestershire, and the next year constituted sheriff of the cos. Essex and Hertford, and afterwards of Leicestershire. In the 8th of the same reign, he was governor of the castle at Hertford, and in two years after, one of the justices itinerant in the cos. Nottingham and Derby. About this period we find this successful person, whom Matthew Paris says, in his young days "from a clerk was made a knight," acquiring large landed property by purchase. In the 13th Henry III [1229], he bought the manor of Cotes, in the co. Derby, from the daus. and heirs of Stephen de Beauchamp, and he afterwards purchase from Ranulph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln, all the lands which that nobleman possessed at Mount Sorrell, co. Leicester, without the castle, as also two carucates and a half lying at Segrave which himself and his ancestors had previously held at the rent of 14s. per annum. In the 16th Henry III, he obtained a grant of the custody of the castle and county of Northampton, as also of the cos. Bedford, Buckingham, Warwick, and Leicester, for the term of his life, taking the whole profit of all those shires for his support in that service, excepting the ancient farms which had usually been paid into the exchequer.
Having been of the king's council for several years, as also chief justice of the Common Pleas, he succeeded, in the 16th Henry III, Hubert de Burgh in the great office of justiciary of England, being at the same time constituted governor of Dover, Canterbury, Rochester, &c., and constable of the Tower of London. After this we find him, however, opposed by the bishops and barons and his manor house at Segrave burnt to the ground by the populace, as well as another mansion in the co. Huntingdon. The king, too, in this perilous crisis, deserted him and cited him, along with Peter de Rupibus, bishop of Winchester, and others who had been in power, to appear forthwith at court in order to answer any charge regarding the wasting of the public treasure, which might be preferred against them. Some of those persons, conscious of guilt, fled to sanctuary, and Stephen de Segrave sought an asylum in the abbey of Leicester, where he openly declared that he was and had been a priest, and that he resolved to shave his crown again to be a canon of that house. Nevertheless, upon second thoughts, he braved the storm and appeared at court under the archbishop's protection, where the king called him a wicked traitor, and told him that it was under his advice that he had displaced Hubert de Burgh from the office of justiciary and cast that eminent person into prison, nay, that had he gone the full length of his council, Hubert would have been hanged, and divers of the nobility banished. In twelve months subsequently, however, Stephen de Segrave made his peace by paying 1000 marks to the king, and he afterwards grew again into such favour that, in the 21st Henry III [1237], he was the means of reconciling the king with some of his most hostile barons. Subsequently he was made justice of Chester and the king's chief councillor, and "being now," says Dugdale, "advanced in years, deported himself by experience of former times with much more temper and moderation than heretofore."

Warwick and Leicester under Hugh de Novant, bishop of Coventry, in which office he continued two whole years.

Robert de Umfravill, second Earl of Angus and feudal baron of Prudhoe, was summoned to parliament as Earl of Angus from 4 March, 1309, to 30 December, 1324. This nobleman distinguished himself in the lifetime of his father in the Scottish wars and, soon after his accession to the title, he was joined in commission with William, Lord Ros, of Hamlake, and Henry, Lord Beaumont, in the lieutenancy of Scotland. In the 11th Edward II [1318], his lordship was appointed one of the commissioners to treat with Robert de Brus and his partisans for a truce between both realms. The earl m. 1st, Lucy, dau. of Philip, and eventually heiress of her brother, William de Kyme, by whom he had issue, Gilbert, his successor; Elizabeth, m. to Gilbert Burdon, or Baradon, and had an only dau. and heiress, Alianore Burdon, (heiress to her uncle, Earl Gilbert) m. to Henry Talboys, from which marriage the Lords Talboys descended. His lordship's 2nd wife was named Alianore, but of what family is not mentioned; by this lady (who m. 2ndly, Roger Mauduit) he had issue, Robert (Sir), who d.s.p.; Thomas (Sir), of Harbottle Castle, m.

Upon the death of his father in 1254, Gilbert de Umfravill was committed to the guardianship of Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester, in consideration of 10,000 marks paid by that nobleman to the king. This Gilbert attained majority in the 43rd Henry III [1259], and in six years subsequently we find him in arms with the barons, but he made his peace prior to the battle of Evesham, and obtained then some immunities from the crown. In the 20th Edward I [1292], he was governor of the castles of Dundee and Forfar, and the whole territory of Angus, in Scotland, and appears to have borne the title of Earl of Angus, in right of his wife, Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of John Comyn, Earl of Angus. He was summoned to parliament, however, subsequently, 24th June, 1295, as Baron Umfravill only, but in the 25th of Edward I [1297], and from that period to the 1st Edward II [1307], he had summons as "Gilberto de Umfravill, Comiti de Angos." This title the English lawyers refused to acknowledge (Angus not being within the kingdom of England) until he had openly produced the king's writ in public court, by which he was called to parliament, under the title of Earl of Angus. In the 27th Edward I [1297], his lordship was constituted one of the king's commissioners for manning and fortifying the castles within the realm of Scotland, and to appoint wardens of the Marches. His lordship was highly instrumental in fortifying the castles and strongholds in Scotland, and was the only man who refused to surrender the fortresses in his custody to the enemy. The next year he founded a chantry for two priests to celebrate divine service daily in the chapel of our lady, within the castle of Prudhoe. The earl m. Lady Agnes Comyn, dau. of Alexander, Earl of Buchan, d. in 1308, and was s. by his eldest surviving son, Robert de Umfraville, then thirty years of age.

Gilbert de Umfreville succeeded to the barony of Prudhoe and doing homage 2nd Henry III, and paying £100 for his relief, had livery of his lands. In the 13th of the same reign he was one of the northern barons appointed by the king to be at Berwick-upon-Tweed upon Sunday before Mid-Lent to attend Alexander of Scotland thence to York, where the English monarch met the Scottish king, and to a charter between the two princes the name of Gilbert de Umfreville is affixed as a witness. He died in 29th Henry III [1245] according to Matthew Paris, "a famous baron, guardian and chief flower of the north," leaving a son and heir, Gilbert de Umfreville, then seven years old.

Richard de Umfreville, baron of Prudhoe (son of Gilbert de Umfreville). This feudal lord appears, in the 7th Richard I [1196], to have pledged his lands of Turney to Aaron, a Jew, for the sum of £22 6s which he then owed the Israelite. In the 5th King John [1204], his lordship obtained the right of preventing all persons from grazing, hunting, or cutting down timber in the forest of Riddesdale; and in nine years afterwards, the times being then turbulent, he delivered up his four sons in hostage, with his castle of Prudhoe, as guarantee for his loyalty upon the condition that, if he transgressed, the said castle became forfeited and that he should himself be dealt with as a traitor; notwithstanding which, so soon as the barons took up arms, he appeared amongst them, when he lands were seized and granted to Hugh de Baliol. In the reign of Henry III, however, he made his peace and had restitution of the castle of Prudhoe, &c., but was nevertheless far from enjoying the confidence of that monarch, as we find the king soon after issuing a precept to the sheriff of Northumberland, directing a jury of twelve knights to be empaneled to inspect certain buildings of the castle of Herbotil, which this Richard de Umfravill was then erecting, and to demolish all that bore the appearance of fortifications.

The Bigods held the hereditary office of steward (dapifer) of the royal household, and their chief castle was at Framlingham in Suffolk. [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1961 ed, Vol. 3, pages 556/557, article Hugh Bigod, Earl of Norfolk.) ~1095 Hugh Bigod Name Suffix:<NSFX> 1st Earl Of Norfolk
Hugh Bigod, brother of William, steward of the household of King Henry I, was also steward to King Henry I, who being mainly instrumental in raising Stephen, Earl of Bologne, to the throne upon the decease of his royal master, was rewarded by this new king with the Earldom of the East Angles, commonly called Norfolk, and by that designation we find him styled in 1140 (6th Stephen). His lordship remained faithful in his allegiance to King Stephen through the difficulties which afterwards beset that monarch, and gallantly defended the castle of Ipswich against the Empress Maud and her son until obligated at length to surrender for want of timely relief. In the 12th Henry II, this powerful noble certified his knight's fee to be one hundred and twenty-five "de vetri feoffamento," and thirty-five "de novo," upon the occasion of the assessment in aid of the marriage of the king's daughter; and he appears to have acquired at this period a considerable degree of royal favour, for we find him not only re-created Earl of Norfolk,by charter, dated at Northampton, but by the same instrument obtaining a grant of the office of steward, to hold in as ample a manner as his father had done in the time of Henry I. Notwithstanding, however, these and other equally substantial marks of the kings liberality, the Earl of Norfolk sided with Robert, Earl of Leicester, in the insurrection incited by that nobleman in favor of the king's son (whom Henry himself had crowned,) in the 19th of the monarch's reign; but his treason upon this occasion cost him the surrender of his strongest castles, and a find of 1,000 marks. After which he went into the Holy Land with the Earl of Flanders, and died in 1177. His lordship had married twice; by his 1st wife, Julian, dau. of Alberic de Vere, he had a son, Rogers; and by his 2nd, Gundred, he had two sons, Hugh and William. He was s. by his eldest son, Roger Bigod, 2nd earl.

Walter Giffard, Earl of Longueville in Normandy, was granted for his gallant services at the battle of Hastings the title of Earl of Buckingham. At the time of the General Survey, this nobleman was sent with Remigius, bishop of London, and others, into Worcestershire and some other counties to value the lands belonging to the crown, as well as to private individuals in those parts. He himself possessed at that time two lordships in Berkshire, one in Wilts, one in Somersetshire, one in Huntingdon, give in Cambridgeshire, nine in Oxfordshire, nine in the county of Bedford, three in Suffolk, twenty-eight in Norfolk, and forty-eight in Buckinghamshire -- in all one hundred and seven. In 1089, his lordship adhering to William Rufus, fortified his mansions in Normandy for that king and became chief general of his army there, yet in some years afterwards (1102), he sided with Robert Curthose against King Henry I. The earl m. Agnes, dau. of Gerard Flaitell, and sister of William, bishop of Evreux, and had, with other issue, Walter, Rohais and Isabel.

----------
Walter (Gaultier of the Norman Chronicles) Compte de Longueville, assumed, for what reason has not been ascertained, the surname of Gyffarde. This gallant person acquired great renown in the armies of William, achieving several signal victories for Normandy in the war between that country and France. When the duke, upon the accession of Harold to the English throne, desired to invade this island, many, indeed most of the Norman nobles held cautiously back from proffering aid; being wearied and impoverished by the continued struggles in which William had been engaged since his father's death. But a few staunch friends, amongst the foremost of which was this Walter and his brother, coming nobly forward with offers of men, ships, &c. the laggards were thereby warmed to the undertaking, and the expedition was accordingly set on foot. In the subsequent success of his chief, the Compte de Longueville largely participated; he obtained no less than one hundred and seven lordships in the conquered country and was constituted Earl of the county of Buckingham.

Norr cites a source that says Walter died in 1066, implying he fought at the
Battle of Hastings.
Moriarty: "At the time of the Battle of Hastings we know that Walter
Giffard was old and bald-headed and short of breath." "The word Giffard means
'fat face' and was one of those rude nicknames in which the Normans greatly
delighted."
Roots: Walter Giffard, died 1084, Lord of Longueville, a companion of
William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings, 1066.

lord of Longueville in Caux, whom Jumieges tells us was the son of
Osberne de Bolbeck and Wevie, a sister of Gonnor, the wife of Richard I, but as
the duchess Gonnnor was the great-grandmother of the Conqueror, this seems
impossible; consequently it is necessary to be contented with the conclusion
that he was descended from this union. [This seems to be the case.] Received
the Earldom of Buckingham in 1070. More detail on page 22.

"of Scheville"? Circa 957 Mistress From Gesta Normannorum Ducum, Rogert de Torigni's autographed redaction (trans. van Houts): "Because we have refered to Countess Gunnor on account of Roger de Montgomery's mother, her niece, I should like to write down the story as reported by people of old of how Gunnor cane to be Duke Richard's wife. One day when Duke Richard was told of the celebrated beauty of the wife of one of his foresters, who lived at a place called Equiqueville near the town of Arques, he deliberately went hunting there in order to see for himself whether the report he had learned from several folk was true. While staying in the forester's house, the duke was so struck by the beauty of his wife's face that he summoned his host to bring his wife, called Sainsfrida, that night to his bedchamber. Very sadly the man told this to Sainsfrida, a wise woman, who comforted him by saying that she would send in her place her sister Gunnor, a virgin even more beautiful than her. And thus it happened. Once the duke perceived the trick he was delighted that he had not committed the sin of adultery with another man's wife. . . . Apart from Sainsfrida, Gunnor had two sisters, Wevia and Duvelina. The latter (Duvelina)*, with the help of the countess, who was a very wise woman, married Turulf of Pont-Audemer. He was the son of someone called Torf, after whome several towns are called Tourville to the present day. Turulf's brother was Turketil, father of Ansketil of Harcourt. Turulf had by his wife Humphrey of Vieilles, father of Roger of Beaumont. The third of Countess Gunnor's sisters (Wevia)* married Osbern de Bolbec, by whom she bore the first Walter Giffard, and then Godfrey, father of William of Arques. . . ." * The original manuscript, of which several copies survive, did not further identify these sisters, other than as "the latter" and "the third". This resulted in a certain degree of confusion, since Duvelina is actually named third, but had already been described as "the latter". However, in Robert's autographed copy, he has specifically inserted their names, which removes all ambiguity. Thus we have Sainsfrida married to the unnamed forester of (St. Vaast d')Equiqueville, Wevia married to Osbern de Bolbec, and Duvelina married to Turulf de Pont- Audemer.

FULK (1092-1143), king of Jerusalem, was the son of Fulk IV, count of Anjou, and his wife Bertrada (who ultimately deserted her husband and became the mistress of Philip I of France). As Fulk V, he became count of Anjou in 1109. Within his country he was active in asserting and recovering his powers over his vassals; outside it he played a part in the conflicts between Henry I of England and Louis VI of France, supporting each side in turn. But his ties with Henry became closer when his son Geoffrey Plantagenet married Henry's daughter Matilda. Already in 1120 Fulk had visited the Holy Land and become a close friend of the Templars. On his return he assigned to the order of the Templars an annual subsidy, while he also maintained two knights in the Holy Land for a year. In 1128 he was preparing to return to the east when he received an embassy from Baldwin II, king of Jerusalem, who had no male heir to succeed him, offering his daughter Melisinda in marriage with the right of eventual succession to the kingdom. Fulk accepted the offer; and in 1129 he was married to Melisinda, receiving the towns of Acre and Tyre as her dower. In 1131 he became king of Jerusalem.
His reign was not marked by any considerable events. The kingdom, which had reached its zenith under Baldwin II, was quietly prosperous under Fulk's rule. In the beginning of his reign he had to act as regent of Antioch and to provide a husband, Raymund of Poitou, for the infant heiress Constance. But the great problem with which he had to deal was the progress of the atabeg Zengi of Mosul. In 1137 he was beaten near Barin and, escaping into the fort, was surrounded and forced to capitulate. A little later, however, he greatly improved his position by strengthening his alliance with the vizier of Damascus, who also feared the progress of Zengi (1140); and in this way he was able to capture the fort of Banias, to the north of Lake Tiberias. Like his predecessors in Anjou, Fulk was a great builder of castles. In southern Palestine he constructed Ibelin, Blanche Garde and Gibelin as a means of checking the Mohammedan garrison of Askalon. Belvoir was founded to survey the Jordan valley south of the Sea of Galilee, while in Trans-Jordan, Kerak was fortified by a royal vassal. Twice in Fulk's reign the eastern emperor, John Comnenus, appeared in northern Syria (1137 and 1142); but his coming did not affect the king, who was able to decline politely a visit which the emperor proposed to make to Jerusalem.
Fulk died in 1143 leaving two sons who both became kings and reigned as Baldwin III and Amalric I.
Fulk continued the tradition of good statemanship and sound churchmanship which Baldwin I and Baldwin II had begun. Unfortunately he was unable to head a combined resistance to the rising power of Zengi of Mosul ~1032 - >1099 Seigneur De Château De Loire Gervase 67 67 ~1002 Seigneur De Château De Loire Robert ~0972 Seigneur De Château De Loire Hamon Hamon Aux Dents Name Suffix:<NSFX> Lord Of Creuilly And Thorigny

Wilts; and in the 10th of that monarch's reign, being then marshal, he laid claim, for the crown, to one of the manors of the see of Canterbury from the prelate, Thomas à Becket, who about that period, had commenced his contest with the king.

Richard de Clare, the celebrated Stongbow, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, was one of the witnesses to the solemn agreement made in 1153 between King Stephen and Henry, Duke of Normandy, whereby the latter was to succeed to the English throne upon the decease of the former. But the leading part he subsequently had in the subjugation of Ireland procuring him a conspicuous place in history, we shall relate the particulars of that event in the words of the Monk of Jorevaulx -- "The realm of Ireland," saith he, "being miserably opprest with warr by the many kings there who banded against each other, one of them sent his son into England to procure souldiers thence for his aid. Which souldiers for the hope of gain, giving him assistance, were so well recompenced as that they rather chose to stay there than return into England. But after a short time the stoutest people of Ireland, being much offended with that king for getting aid from England, the English already fixed in Ireland sent for more from hence to strengthen their party, and because they had no chief they made of this Earl Richard (a stout and valiant man), to be their captain, who, yielding to their request, rigging a good fleet, prepared for the journey. Whereupon there were some who, in the king's behalf, endeavoured to restrain him. Howbeit, getting on shipboard and landing safe, he assaulted Dublin and took it; the tidings whereof so terrified those that lived afar off that they were content to be at peace with him; and, to confirm what he had got, gave him in marriage Eva, daughter of Dermot McMurrough, one of their kings, with whom he had in dower a great part of the realm. Whereat the King of England growing much displeased, as well for that he had not only, without his consent, but forbidden, made so great an attempt, seized upon all his patrimony here, prohibiting that he should have further aid; and threatening him otherwise very sore, compelled him so to such a compliance as that he got Dublin from him and all the principal places he had won, requiring him to be content with the rest, and his patrimony in England; soon after raising a great army, the king sayled thither, himself." In the end the earl was constituted Justice of Ireland by King Henry II and, having founded the priory of Kilmainham in the province of Leinster for Knights Hospitallers, "this eminent person," Dugdale concludes, "died untimely upon the nones of April, anno 1176, and was buried in the chapter house at Gloucester as may be seen by this inscription on the wall there, 'Hic jacet Ricardus Strongbow, filius Gilberti, Comitis de Pembroke," leaving issue, as some say, one son, scarce three years old to be his heir, but by others it is reported that, being by treachery abused and wounded, he departed this life the 5th year after his acquisition of the province of Leinster, and that he was buried at Dublin, leaving issue one only dau. and heiress, Isabel.
NOTE: Hacket, in his collection of epitaphs, gives the following from the tomb of Strongbow, at Christ's Church, Dublin:--
"Nate ingrate, mihi pugnanti terga dedisti,
Non mihi, sed genti, regno quoque terga dedisti."
"This alludes," says Banks, "to a story that Strongbow's only son, a youth about seventeen, frightened with the numbers and ululations of the Irish in a great battle, ran away, but being afterwards informed of his father's victory, he joyfully returned to congratulate him. But the severe general having first upbraided him with his cowardice, caused him to be immediately executed by cutting him off in the middle with a sword. Such, in former times, was the detestation of datardliness!"

Dermot MacMurrough (or Dermod naNGhall, meaning Dermot, king of the Foreigners) was born in 1110 AD. At an early age he was fostered out to a minor family on the border of Leinster, in the neighboring state of Ossory and here he grew to manhood. At age 16, upon the unexpected death of his older brother (the king of Leinster), he was elected king of Ui Cinnsealaigh. What followed was the turning point in Irish history.
Upon receiving the kingship, Dermot also became king of Leinster, like his brother before him. This the High King of Ireland, Turlough O'Connor of Connaught, opposed, so he sent a neighboring chieftain to subjugate Leinster--Tiernan O'Rourke, a man who loved battle. Among the three sacred laws of Ireland, the one called Daire's Law specifically forbade the killing of cattle by an enemy for by killing cattle, you were forcing the people of that land to starve because dairy products were their sole food source. O'Rourke killed the cows of Leinster.
It took years for Dermot to regain the throne of Leinster, but finally, by 1133 he had succeeded and now began to expand his power. He raided in Ossory, then sacked Waterford, like his great-grandfather, Dermot Mac Mal namBo, before him. The following two decades were mostly peaceful for Dermot, he avoided many of the wars the other four provinces were waging on one another, but in 1152, he helped Turlough O'Connor raid Tiernan O'Rourke's land.
After O'Rourke's land was destroyed and his castle burned, the armies left for their respective provinces. As Dermot was traveling through Meath to return to Leinster, the King of Meath told him that Dervorgilla, O'Rourke's wife and also the King of Meath's sister, would run away with him. Dermot turned around and picked up Dervorgilla with all her furniture and cows, then returned home. When O'Rourke discovered his wife had been taken, he was furious.
This 'abduction' made Dermot Tiernan O'Rourke's most bitter enemy. After only a year, Dermot was forced to give Dervorgilla back, but O'Rourke never forgave. In 1166, when Ireland was ablaze in war and Dermot's ally, the High King Muirchertach O'Lochlainn, had fallen, O'Rourke joined together a number of other chieftains and raided Leinster...O'Rourke for revenge, the rest for plunder. Dermot barely escaped with his life and sailed for England. Dermot was not through.
MacMurrough gathered a force of Norman and Welsh fighting men and returned to Ireland. In quick succession he defeated Ossory, Waterford, and then Dublin, so reclaiming the kingship of Leinster, but he was not satisfied. He marched on the High King of Ireland, Rory O'Connor (Turlough's son), and demanded the High King's submission. Dermot gambled that Rory would not hurt the Leinster hostages he had, Dermot's son and nephew. Rory hesitated, then O'Rourke forced his hand.
The bodies of Dermot's son, Conor, and nephew were delivered to him in a sack like a bullock would be delivered to market. Dermot lost the will to fight. His army disbanded and he returned to Ferns where, a few months later, he died.
There is much written about the cruelty and savageness of Dermot, yet I have looked at the original sources. The sources that vilify Dermot were all written years after the Norman invasion, when Ireland had learned to fear and hate the foreigners. Those written while Dermot was alive portray him as a peaceful, just king (in comparison with others of his time). ~1080 King Of Leinster Enna ~1065 - 1115 Donnchad Duncan Macmurchada 50 50 ~1025 - 1070 King Of Leinster Murchadh 45 45 ~0995 - 1072 II Diarmait 77 77 Name Suffix:<NSFX> King Of Hy Kinsale ~0965 - 1006 Donnchad "Mael- Na-Mbo" 41 41 I Diarmait Name Suffix:<NSFX> King Of Hy Kinsale

His father Art was the son of Conn of the Hundred Battles, and was known as Art the Lonely, as he had lost his brothers, Connla and Crionna - both slain by their uncles. It was at the court of Lugaid at Tara, that Cormac first distinguished himself, and gave token of the ability and wisdom, which were, afterwards, to mark him the most distinguished of Eirinn’s monarchs.
From his exile in Connaught, Cormac, a green youth , had returned to Tara, where, unrecognised, he was engaged herding sheep for a poor widow. Now one of the sheep broke into the queen’s garden, and ate the queen’s vegetables. And King Lugaid, equally angry as his queen, after he heard the case, ordered that for penalty on the widow, her sheep should be forfeit to the queen. To the amazement of Lugaid’s court, the herd boy who had been watching the proceedings with anxiety, arose, and, facing the king, said, "Unjust is thy award, O king, for, because thy queen hath lost a few vegetables, thou wouldst deprive the poor widow of her livelihood?" When the king recovered from his astoundment, he looked contemptuously at the lad, asking scathingly: "And what, O wise herd boy would be thy just award?" The herd boy, not one little bit disconcerted, answered him "My award would be that the wool of the sheep should pay for the vegetables the sheep has eaten - because both the wool and the green things will grow again, and both parties have forgotten their hurt." And the wonderful wisdom of the judgement drew the applause of the astounded court. But Lugaid exclaimed in alarm: "It is the judgement of a King." And, the lad’s great mind having betrayed him, he had to flee. He returned and claimed the throne when Lugaid was killed, but at a feast which he gave to the princes whose support he wanted, Fergus Black Tooth of Ulster, who coveted the Ard Righship, managed, it is said, to singe the hair of Cormac - creating a blemish that debarred the young man temporarily from the throne. And he fled again from Tara, fearing designs upon his life. Fergus became Ard Righ for a year - at the end of which time Cormac returned with an army, and, supported by Taig, the son of Ciann, and grandson of the great Oilill Olum of Munster, completely overthrew the usurper in the great battle of Crionna (on the Boyne) where Fergus and his two brothers were slain - and Cormac won undisputed possession of the monarchy. Taig was granted a large territory between Damlaig (Duleek) and the River Liffi, since then called the Ciannachta. He became the ancestor of the O’Hara’s, O’Gara’s, O’Carroll’s, and other now Northern families. In Cormac’s time, the world was replete with all that was good and the food and the fat of the land, and the gifts of the sea were in abundance in this king’s reign. There were neither woundings nor robberies in his time, but every one enjoyed his own, in peace. Cormac rebuilt the palace of Tara, with much magnificence. He built the Teach Mi Chuarta, the great banqueting hall, that was 760 feet by 46 feet, and 45 feet high. Until quite recently, the outline of the foundations of this great hall with the traces of its fourteen doorways, were still to be observed on Tara Hill. In the Book of Leinster is related "Three thousand persons each day is what Cormac used to maintain in tara; besides poets and satirists, and all the strangers who sought the king; Galls, and Romans, and Franks, and Frisian, and Longbards, and Albanians and Saxons, and Picts, for all these used to seek him, and it was with gold and with silver, with steeds and with chariots, that he presented them. They used all to come to Cormac, because there was not in his time, nor before him, any more celebrated in honour, and in dignity, and in wisdom, except only Solomon, the son of David. The remarkable king died in the year 267 - more than a cent ~0170 UNKNOWN Art ~0150 UNKNOWN Conn The celebrated Conn of the hundred Battles was a son of Feidlimid, the son of Tuathal - though he did not immediately succeed Feidlimid. Between them reigned Cathari Mor, who was father of thirty sons, among whom and their posterity he attempted to divide Ireland, and from whom are descended the chief Leinster families. As Conn’s title suggests, his reign was filled with battling. Conn’s strenuous militancy and the suggestive title that it won for him, made him famed beyond worthier men - the greatest pride of some of the noblest families of the land a thousand years and more after his time trace back their descent to him of the Hundred Battles. Conn’s life and reign were ended by his assassination at Tara. Fifty robbers hired by the king of Ulster, came to Tara, dressed as women, and treacherously despatched the Monarch. Conn’s son in law, Conaire II, who succeeded him as monarch - for his son Art was then but a child - is famed as father of three Carbris, namely Carbri Musc, from whom was named the territory of Muskerry, Carbri Baiscin, whose descendants peopled Corca Baiscin in Western Clare, and most notable of them, Carbri Riada, who, when there was a famine in the South, led his people to the extreme Northeast of Ireland, and some of them across to the nearest part of Scotland, where they settled, forming the first important colony of Scots (Irish) in Alba, and driving there the edge of the Irish wedge which was eventually to make the whole country known as the land of the Scots (Irish). ~0130 UNKNOWN Feidlimid ~0100 UNKNOWN Tuathal ~0640 UNKNOWN Almaith ~0610 UNKNOWN Blathmac ~0580 UNKNOWN Eogan ~0550 UNKNOWN Colman ~0520 Baetan Crobaing Of Dál Riada ~0610 UNKNOWN Etain ~0580 UNKNOWN Mongan ~0550 Murchu Of Dál Riada ~0680 UNKNOWN Conchenn ~0650 Cellach Cualann Name Suffix:<NSFX> King Of Leinster ~0620 UNKNOWN Gerthilde ~0590 Dicuill Danae ~0560 Ronan Crach Name Suffix:<NSFX> Bishop ~0530 Aed Dibchine ~0500 Senach Dibech ~0470 Cairthenn Muach ~0440 UNKNOWN Etarscel ~0410 Oengus Ailche ~0380 Fergus Forcraid ~0650 - 0715 UNKNOWN Mugain 65 65 ~0350 Tuathal Tigech ~0600 Failbe Of Ui Bairrchi ~0570 King Of Ui Bairrche Domnall ~0530 - ~0567 King Of Ui Bairrche Cormac 37 37 ~0500 King Of Ui Bairrche Diarmait ~0470 Eochaid Guineach Name Suffix:<NSFX> King Of Ui Bairrche ~0440 King Of Munster Oengus ~0410 UNKNOWN Mac- Ercca ~0380 UNKNOWN Breccan ~0350 UNKNOWN Fiacc ~0320 Daire Barrach ~0600 Ethne Of Hy Kinsale ~0440 UNKNOWN Ethne ~0585 - 0656 King Of Hy Kinsale Crundmael 71 71 ~0570 - 0624 King Of Leinster Ronan 54 54 ~0550 King Of Hy Kinsale Colman ~0530 Cormac Camsron Name Suffix:<NSFX> King Of Hy Kinsale ~0515 King Of Leinster Nath-I ~0540 UNKNOWN Suibne ~0510 Cobthach Of The Dessi Of Munster Aed Roin Still Living. ~0730 UNKNOWN Tualath ~0700 King Of Munster Cathal Princess Of Connacht Still Living. ~1024 Druella Of Kent ~0997 - >1066 Gytha Thorgilsdotter 69 69 ~0986 - 1053 Godwin Wulfnothsson 67 67 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Earl Of Wessex
Name Suffix:<NSFX> Earl Of Wessex
Godwine, also spelled GODWIN (d. April 15, 1053), earl of Wessex, the most powerful man in England during the opening years of the reign of Edward the Confessor.
Godwine became a favourite of King Canute the Great, who made him earl of Wessex about 1018. In the disputes over the succession that followed the death of Canute, Godwine was held responsible for the murder (1036) of one of the claimants to the throne, Alfred the Aetheling. Godwine maintained his position, however, and went on to dominate Edward the Confessor.
In 1045 Godwine married his daughter Edith to Edward. Nevertheless, Edward wanted to throw off Godwine's influence so that he would be free to fill his court with Norman courtiers. In 1051 he outlawed Godwine for refusing to punish the men of Dover, who had defied a Norman lord.
Edward's pro-Norman policies, however, soon aroused widespread hostility. Seizing his opportunity, Godwine emerged from exile to join his son Harold and invade England in September 1052. The defenseless Edward was forced to restore all the possessions and offices of the Godwine family. Harold became earl of Wessex upon the death of Godwine, and in 1066 he succeeded to Edward's throne as Harold II.

Gunthamund (484-96) and his brother Thrasamund (496-523)...maintained the external credit of the monarchy. On the death of Thrasamund, Hilderic (523-31), the son of Hunneric and Eudocia, at length succeeded to the throne. He adhered to the creed of his mother rather than to that of his father; and, in spite of a solemn oath sworn to his predecessor that he would not restore the Catholic churches to their owners, he at once proceeded to do so and to recall the bishops. Hilderic, elderly, Catholic and timid, was very unpopular with his subjects, and after a reign of eight years he was thrust into prison by his cousin Gelimer (531-534). The wrongs to Hilderic, a Catholic, with the blood of the emperor Theodosius in his veins, afforded to Justinian a long-coveted pretext for overthrowing the Vandal dominion. A great expedition under the command of Belisarius reached Africa in the beginning of Sept. 533 ... He marched rapidly towards Carthage and on Sept. 13 defeated Gelimer at Ad Decimum. Belisarius, however, was too late to save the life of Hilderic, who had been slain by his rival's orders as soon as the news came of the landing of the imperial army.

Name Suffix:<NSFX> Roman Emperor Of The West
Western Roman Emperor 425-455
In 425, Valentinian was placed on the Western imperial throne under the regency of his mother by the Eastern Roman Emperor Theodosius II. Valentinian was a weak ruler, at first controlled by his mother and later by the powerful general Flavius Ætius. During his reign, the Western Empire was ravaged: in Africa by the Vandal king Genseric in 429, and in the Danubian provinces, Gaul, and Italy, by Attila, King of the Huns in 441. In 451, Ætius won a major victory over Attila at Chalons-sur-Marne, Gaul. In 454, Valentinian had Ætius killed, however 2 of the generals supporters killed Valentinian the next year.
----------------------
Valentinian III, Latin in full FLAVIUS PLACIDIUS VALENTINIANUS (b. July 2, 419, Ravenna--d. March 16, 455, Rome), Roman emperor from 425 to 455. At no time in his long reign were the affairs of state personally managed by Valentinian. He was the son of the patrician Flavius Constantius (who ruled as Constantius III in 421) and Galla Placidia. When his uncle, the emperor Honorius, died in 423, the usurper John ruled for two years before he was deposed. Then Placidia controlled the West in her young son's name until 437, although the powerful patrician Aetius became the effective ruler toward the end of this regency. The most important political event of these years was the landing of the Vandals in Africa in 429; 10 years later they threw off the overlordship of Valentinian's government.
On Oct. 29, 437, Valentinian married Licinia Eudoxia, the daughter of Theodosius II (Eastern emperor, 408-450) and Eudocia. Little is known of Valentinian in the years after his marriage. He spent his life in the pursuit of pleasure while Aetius controlled the government. In 444 Valentinian, acting in conjunction with Pope Leo I the Great, issued the famous Novel 17, which assigned to the bishop of Rome supremacy over the provincial churches. The most important political events of the closing years of his reign were the Hun invasions of Gaul (451) and of northern Italy (452), but it is not known whether Valentinian personally played any significant part in meeting these crises.
As a result of false information that made him doubt Aetius' loyalty, Valentinian murdered the great patrician with his own hands in the imperial palace at Rome on Sept. 21, 454. The following year, two barbarians, Optila and Thraustila, who had been retainers of Aetius, avenged their master by murdering the Emperor in the Campus Martius.

Oct. 20, 460, Jerusalem), wife of the Eastern Roman emperor Theodosius II. She was a highly cultured woman who exercised great influence over her husband until her withdrawal from Constantinople.
Athenais, as she was then called, came from Athens, where her father, Leontius, was a pagan philosopher. Before she and Theodosius were married (in June 421), Athenais was baptized a Christian and changed her name to Eudocia. A year later she gave birth to a daughter, Licinia Eudoxia, who married (437) the Western emperor Valentinian III (reigned 425-455). In 438 Eudocia went on a year's pilgrimage to Jerusalem. After a quarrel with Theodosius' influential sister Pulcheria, she returned to Jerusalem in 443 and remained there for the rest of her life, directing the rebuilding of that city's fortifications and the construction of several splendid churches.
Eudocia was sympathetic to Monophysitism--a heresy that maintained that Christ's human nature is absorbed in his divine nature--but she died an orthodox Christian. In addition to religious poetry, she wrote a panegyric on the Roman victory over the Persians (422).

Harald I, byname HARALD BLUETOOTH, Danish HARALD BLÅTAND (b. c. 910--d. c. 985, Jumne, Den.), king of Denmark from c. 940 to c. 985, credited with the first unification of the country.
He was the son of Gorm the Old, the first significant figure in a new royal line centred at Jelling (North Jutland). Harald completed the country's unification begun by his father, converted the Danes to Christianity, and conquered Norway. After Harald's Baptism (c. 960) his father's pagan tomb was transformed into a Christian place of worship with a church between two great mounds; and the newly appointed Jutland bishops, under the Archbishop of Hamburg, organized the country's conversion. The expansion begun by Harald in Norway was continued by his son Sweyn I, who conquered England in 1013. Under Sweyn's son Canute there grew up a great Anglo-Scandinavian kingdom that included parts of Sweden. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97, HARALD I BLÅTAND]

The earlier stone, a memorial honouring Queen Thyre, was commissioned by her husband, King Gorm the Old, last pagan king of Denmark. The other, erected in memory of his parents by Harald Bluetooth, son of Gorm and Thyre, ruler of Denmark and Norway, and Christianizer of Denmark, is a three-sided pyramid, two sides bearing pictures and the third, an inscription. Its carvings depict ornamental animal forms, sophisticated interlacing linear patterns, and a Christian theme (the Crucifixion).

Built Danewirk, 936-940. [Roderick W. Stuart, Royalty for Commoners, 3rd ed., 1998]
Danewirk, also spelled DANEWERK, DANNEWIRK, or DANNEWERK, Danish DANNEVIRKE, or DANEVIRKE(Danes' Bulwark), the ancient frontier rampart of the Danes against the Germans, extending 10.5 miles (17 kilometres) from just south of the town of Schleswig to the marshes of the river Trene near the village of Hollingstedt. The rampart was begun about AD 808 by Godfred (Gudfred), king of Vestfold. In 934 it was penetrated by the German king Henry I, after which it was extended by King Harald I Bluetooth (c. 940-c. 985); but it was again stormed by the German emperor Otto II in 974. After the union of Schleswig and Holstein under the Danish crown in the 15th century, the Danewirk fell into decay; but in 1848 it was hastily strengthened by the Danes, who were, however, unable to hold it in face of the superiority of Prussian artillery, and on April 23 it was stormed.
From 1850 onward, Danewirk was again repaired and strengthened at great cost and was considered impregnable; but in the war of 1864 the Prussians turned it by crossing the Schlei, and it was abandoned by the Danes on February 6 without a blow. It was thereupon destroyed by the Prussians. In spite of this destruction, however, a long line of imposing ruins still remains. The systematic excavation of these, begun in 1900, yielded some notable finds, especially of valuable runic inscriptions.

Upon the incursion of the Scots in the 20th Henry II, Bernard de Baliol again took up arms and, joining Robert de Stutevill, proceeded to the relief of Alnwick Castle and, having surprised the besiegers, seized the king of Scots with his own hand and sent him prisoner to the castle of Richmond. In the course of this forced march to Alnwick when, in consequence of a dense fog, a halt was recommended, Baliol exclaimed, "Let those stay that will, I am resolved to go forward, although none follow me, rather than dishonour myself by tarrying here." This feudal chief is supposed to have been the founder of the fortress upon the banks of the Tees, called "Barnard Castle." He was a munificent benefactor to the church, having, among other grants, bestowed lands upon the abbey of St. Mary, at York, and upon the monks at Riebault, for the health of his own soul and that of his wife, Agnes de Pincheni.

John de Grey, 2nd Baron Grey of Rotherfield, one of the founders of the Order of the Garter, b. 1300, who in the 15th Edward II, making proof his age, had livery of his lands; and in the 1st Edward III, was in the wars of Scotland. In the 6th of the same reign, upon some differences between his lordship and William le Zouch, of Haryngworth, another great baron, which was heard before the king, Lord Grey, under the irritation of the moment, drew his knife upon Lord Zouch in the royal presence, whereupon both lords were committed to prison; but the Lord Zouch was soon afterwards released, while Lord Grey was remanded and his lands seized upon by the crown. He was, however, within a short time, upon making submission, restored to favour; and in three years afterwards we find his lordship in Scotland upon the king's service, being of the retinue with Henry, Earl of Lancaster. From this period for several years, he was engaged in the French wars, and in the 20th of Edward's reign, he obtained license to fortify his houses at Rotherfield Grey, co. Oxford, and Sculcotes, co. York, with embattled walls of lime and stone. The next year there being a tournament held at Eltham, in Kent, amongst other accoutrements prepared for that military exercise, his lordship had a hood of white cloth embroidered with dancing men in blue habits, buttoned before with large pearls presented to him by the king. In the 26th Edward III, he was one of the commissioners in the cos. Oxford and Berks for arraying and arming all men of ability within those shires and leading them against the king's enemies, invasion at that time threatened by the French. In the next year he was steward of the king's household and had summons to parliament from the 1st to the 29th Edward III, inclusive. His lordship m. 1st, Katherine, dau. and co-heiress of Bryan Fitz-Alan, of Bedall, co. York, and had issue, John, his successor, and Maud, m. 1st to John de Botetourt, of Weoley, and 2ndly, to Thomas de Harcourt.

In the 1st Henry III [1216], he had also a grant of the manor of Grimston, co. Nottingham, and having afterwards m.

Walter FitzWalter, in the 24th of Henry III [1240], paid into the exchequer a fine of 300 marks for livery of his lands, and in the 42nd of the same king had a military summons to march against the Welsh, and d. 1249, leaving by Maud, his 1st wife, a son and heir, Sir Robert FitzWalter. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited, and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, 1883, p. 212, FitzWalter, Barons FitzWalter] ~1167 - 1235 Robert Fitzwalter 68 68 This feudal lord, upon the assessment of the scutage of Scotland in the 13th of John [1212], had the king's especial writ of acquittal for sixty-three knights' fees and a half, which were of his own proper inheritance; and for thirty knights' fees, and a third part which he had acquired by marriage. But the next year he was forced to fly with his family into France in order to avoid being arrested upon the first disposition of the barons to revolt; and was soon afterwards charged with treason and rebellion, when his house, called Baynard Castle, in the city of London, was demolished by order of the king.
"The primary occasion of these discontents," say Dugdale, "is by some thus reported: viz., -- that this Robert Fitz-Walter having a very beautiful dau. called Maude, residing at Dunmow, the king frequently solicited her chastity but, never prevailing, grew so enraged that he caused her to be privately poisoned, and that she was buried at the south side of the quire at Dunmow, between two pillars there."
FitzWalter, however, is said, subsequently, to have made his peace with King John by the great prowess and valour he displayed at a tournament, held in Normandy before the kings of France and England, where, running a tilt with his great lance, he overthrew his rival at the first course, which act of gallantry caused the English monarch to exclaim, "By God's Tooth, he deserves to be a king who hath such a soldier of his train;" and afterwards, ascertaining the name of the victorious knight, he immediately sent for him and, having restore his barony, gave him liberty to repair his castle of Baynard. In the 17th of King John, FitzWalter had so far regained the confidence of the crown that he was appointed governor of the castle at Hertford; but soon after, arraying himself under the baronial banner, his lands were all seized and those in Cornwall committed to Prince Henry, the king's son; a course of proceeding that had the immediate effect of riveting the haughty baron to the cause which he had espoused, while his high rank, tried courage, and acknowledged abilities soon gave him a lead amongst his compeers. We find him, therefore, amongst the first commissioners nominated to treat with the king when it was agreed that the city of London should be delivered up to the barons, and twenty-five of those powerful feudal chiefs chosen to govern the realm. The insurrectionary lords subsequently assembled at St. Edmundsbury, and there pledged themselves, by solemn oath at the high altar, that, if the king refused to confirm the laws and liberties granted by Edward the Confessor, they would withdraw their allegiance from him and seize upon his fortresses. After which, forming themselves into a regular army, they appointed this Robert FitzWalter their general with the title of Marshal of the army of God and the Church, and under his command they eventually extorted the Great Charters of Freedom from John on the plains of Runnymede, when FitzWalter was elected one of the celebrated twenty-five appointed to see the faithful observance of those laws. He continued, during the remainder of John's reign, equally firm to his purpose; and after the accession of Henry III until the battle of Lincoln, where the baronial army sustained a signal defeat under his command, and he became a prisoner himself after displaying a more than ordinary degree of valour. He does not appear, however, to have remained long under restraint, for we find him the very next year in the Holy Land, and assisting at the great siege of Damietta.
This eminent feudal baron m. 1st, Gunnora, dau. and heiress of Robert de Valoines, and had issue, Walter, his successor; Matilda; Christian, m. 1st to William Mandeville, Earl of Essex, and 2ndly, to Raymond de Burgh. He m. 2ndly, Rose ---, and dying at the siege of Damietta in 1234, was s. by his son, Walter FitzWalter.

In the great controversy between John, Earl of Moreton, (brother of King Richard,) and William de Longcamp, bishop of Ely, whom the king left governor of the realm during his absence in the Holy Land, this Walter adhered to the bishop and had, at that time, custody of the castle of Eye, in Suffolk.

The first mention of this family is in a render made by King Henry I of the lordship of Dice, in Norfolk (whether in requital of services, or as an inheritance, the record saith not) to Richard de Lucie, who was governor of Falais, in Normandy, temp. King Stephen, and defended that place with great valour when besieged by Geoffrey, Earl of Anjou, for which heroic conduct he had a grant of lands in the county of Essex with the services of divers persons, to hold by ten knights' fees. In the subsequent contest between Stephen and the Empress Maud, he remained steady in his allegiance to the former and obtained a victory of some importance near Wallingford Castle. Upon the adjustment of the dispute, the Tower of London and the castle of Winchester were, by the advice of the whole clergy, placed in the hands of this feudal lord, he binding himself by solemn oath and the hostage of his son to deliver them up on the death of King Stephen to King Henry, which, being eventually fulfilled, Richard de Lucy was constituted sheriff of Essex and Hertfordshire in the 2nd of Henry II, A.D. 1156, and in three years afterwards, being with the king in Normandy, he was despatched to England to procure the election of Thomas à Becket, then lord chancellor, to the archiepiscopal see of Canterbury, vacant by the death of Theobald, Abbot of Becco. Soon after that he was appointed to the high office of Justice of England. In the 12th of this reign [1166], upon the aid then assessed for marrying the king's dau., he certified his knights' fees (lying in the cos. of Kent, Suffolk, and Norfolk) de veteri feoffamento, to be in number seven, and that his ancestors performed the service of Castle Guard at Dover, for the same, as also that he held on knight's fee more, de nova feoffamento, in the co. Devon.
About this time Becket, having fled into Normandy from the power of King Henry, came to Wiceliac to celebrate the feast of the ascension, and observing several persons of distinction present, amongst whom was this Richard de Lucie, he ascended the pulpit and there, with lighted candles, pronounced the sentence of excommunication against them all as public incendiaries betwixt the king and himself, but being neither convicted nor called to answer, they appealed and entered the church. Soon after this (13th Henry II) during a temporary absence of the king beyond sea, de Lucie was constituted Lieutenant of England, and again in 1173, when the Earl of Leicester and others having reared the standard of rebellion in behalf of Prince Henry, he besieged, in conjunction with Reginald, Earl of Cornwall, the town of Leicester and, having reduced it, demolished its walls and laid it in ashes.
In 1178, he founded the priory of Westwode in the diocese of Rochester in honour of St. Thomas, of Canterbury, the martyr, and began, about the same time, the foundation of the priory of Lesnes, in Kent, which he munificently endowed. In this priory he subsequently assumed the habit of a canon regular and departing this life soon after (about 22nd Henry II) [1176], and was buried in the chapter-house there.

This Robert having a great enmity to the Earl of Chester, who had a noble seat at Coventry, entered the priory there in the 8th Stephen [1143], and, expelling the monks, turned it into a fortification, digging at the same time divers deep ditches int the adjacent fields, which he caused to be covered over with the earth in order to secure the approaches thereto, but the Earl of Chester's forces drawing near, he rode out to reconnoiter, fell into one of those very ditches, and broke his thigh so that a common soldier, presently seizing him, cut off his head.

At the period of the Norman conquest, Robert de Marmion, Lord of Fontney, in Normandy, having by grant of King William, the castle of Tamworth, in the co. Warwick, with the adjacent lands, expelled the nuns from the abbey of Polesworth to a place called Oldbury about four miles distant. "After which," writes Sir William Dugdale, "within the compass of a twelvemonth, as it is said, making a costly entertainment at Tamworth Castle for some of his friends amongst whom was Sir Walter de Somerville, Lord of Whichover, in the co. Stafford, his sworn brother, it happened that, as he lay in his bed, St. Edith appeared to him in the habit of a veiled nun with a crosier in her hand and advertised him that, if he did not restore the abbey of Polesworth, which lay within the territories belonging to his castle of Tamworth, unto her successors, he should have an evil death and go to hell. And, that he might be the more sensible of this her admonition, she smote him on the side with the crosier and so vanished away. Moreover, that by this stroke being much wounded, he cryed out so loud that his friends in the house arose and, finding him extremely tormented with the pain of his wound, advised him to confess himself to a priest and vow to restore the nuns to their former possessions. Furthermore, that having so done, his pain ceased and, that in the accomplishment of his vow, accompanied by Sir Walter de Somerville and the rest, he forthwith rode to Oldbury and, craving pardon of the nuns for the injury done, brought them back to Polesworth, desiring that himself and his friend Sir Walter de Somerville, might be reputed their patrons and have burial for themselves and their heirs in the abbey -- the Marmions in the chapter house -- the Somervilles in the cloister. However, (continues Dugdale), some circumstances in this story may seem fabulous, the substance of it is certainly true, for it expressly appeareth by the very words of his charter that he gave to Osanna, the prioress, 'for the establishing of the religion of those nuns there, the church of St. Edith, of Polesworth, with its appurtenances, so that the convent of Oldbury should remain in that place.' And likewise bestowed upon them the whole lordship of Polesworth: which grant King Stephen afterwards confirmed." The castle and manor of Tamworth, in Warwickshire, and the manor of Scrivelsby, co. Lincoln, were granted by the Conqueror to this Robert de Marmion, to be held by grant serjeanty, "to perform the office of champion at the king's coronation" (the Marmions, it is said, were hereditary champions to the Dukes of Normandy, prior to the conquest of England). Robert Marmion was s. at his decease by his son and heir, Robert de Marmyon, Lord of Fontney.

Harald II EIRIKSSON, byname HARALD GRAYCLOAK, Norwegian HARALD GRÅFELL, Old Norse HARALD GRÁFELDR (b. c. 935--d. c. 970), Norwegian king who, along with his brothers, overthrew Haakon I about 961 and ruled oppressively until about 970. He is credited with establishing the first Christian missions in Norway.
The son of Erik Bloodax, who was the half brother of Haakon I, Harald took refuge in Denmark following his father's death. Aided by his uncle, the Danish king Harald Bluetooth (Blåtand), Harald and his brothers launched raids against Haakon I in Norway and killed him about 961. Harald ruled harshly, killing two of the kings in the Oslo region and Haakon, earl of Lade, and he aroused opposition with his prohibition of the public worship of pagan gods. He was killed in battle about 970 by the forces of Haakon (later Haakon the Great), son of the earl of Lade, with the connivance of Harald Bluetooth, some of whose Norwegian holdings had been appropriated by Harald.

Erik I, byname ERIK BLOODAX, Norwegian EIRIK BLODØKS (d. 954, Stainmore, Eng.), king of Norway (c. 930-935) and later king of Northumberland (948, 952-954). On the death of his father, Harald I Fairhair, first king of united Norway, Erik attempted to make himself sole king of Norway, defeating and slaying two of his brothers to whom vassal kingdoms had been assigned by their father; but his tyranny fostered the reaction that had set in against the strong rule of Harald. Another son, Haakon, who had been brought up in England, was invited to Norway by dissident nobles and succeeded in ejecting Erik.
Much later Erik turned up in Northumbria, once a Viking stronghold but at this time under English overlordship; there he established himself as king in 948 but was driven out the same year. In 952 he returned, only to be expelled again in 954, when King Eadred of England took the Northumbrian kingdom into his own hands. Erik was slain the same year at Stainmore. With his expulsion, the line of Norse kings in York ended. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97, ERIK I Bet 850 and 860 - Bet 936 and 940 Harald I "Hårfager Name Suffix:<NSFX> " King Of Vestfold
Harald I, byname HARALD FAIRHAIR, or FINEHAIR, Norwegian HARALD HÅRFAGER, Old Norse HARALD HÁRFAGRI (b. c. 860--d. c. 940), the first king to claim sovereignty over all Norway. One of the greatest of the 9th-century Scandinavian warrior chiefs, he gained effective control of Norway's western coastal districts but probably had only nominal authority in the other parts of Norway.
The son of Halvdan the Black, ruler of part of southeastern Norway and a scion of the Yngling dynasty, the ancient royal house of Sweden, Harald succeeded his father at the age of 10. His first conquest came with the suppression of a revolt in the Uplands region. A pact with Haakon, earl of Lade, enabled him to pursue conquest of the western districts, culminating in the battle of Hafrsfjord, dated 872 by medieval historians but placed 10 to 20 years later by modern historians.
Harald's conquests and taxation system led many chiefs and their followers to emigrate to the British Isles, adjacent lands, and perhaps to Iceland, which first became known to Scandinavians during the era of Harald's rule. He acquired wealth through his control of coastal trade but ruled indirectly through lesser chieftains in areas other than his own tightly controlled home district, in the southwest. His major governmental contribution lay in the development of provincial administrations (lagtings).
The most reliable information on Harald's life is contained in contemporary poems written down in Iceland in the 13th century. His career is also described in 12th- and 13th-century Icelandic and Norwegian historical works of questionable reliability, the fullest account being written by the Icelander Snorri Sturluson (d. 1241) in the Heimskringla.

Matthew Paris wrote, 'Foul as it is, hell itself is defiled by the presence of King John', and this pretty well sums up John's reputation--until 1944, that is. For in that year Professor Galbraith demonstrated in a lecture to an astonished world that the chief chronicle source for the reign of John was utterly unreliable. Since then bad King John has been getting better and better, until now he is nearly well again, and a leading scholar in the field has seriously warned us that the twentieth century could well create it own John myth.
A man who can create so many myths, or rather have them created about him, is clearly outstanding in some way, but the myths hide the truth. Plainly the chroniclers who invented stories about him after his death can tell us little, and we should not take too much notice of people who condemned John for carrying out his father's (and his brother's officials'] policies and administratrive routines, nor indeed those who condemned him because of the bitter troubles that happened in the succeeding reign, troubles which were in no means entirely of John's making. Recent historians have turned to the administrative records of his reign, and found there a very different picture; but still the lingering doubts remain--were these records the result of John's skill and application or of those of his able staff?
John was a paunchy little man, five feet five inches tall, with erect head, staring eyes, flaring nostrils and thick lips set in a cruel pout, as his splendid monument at Worcester shows. He had the tempestous nature of all his family, and a driving demoniac energy: Professor Barlow says that 'he prowled around his kingdom,' which is an evocative phrase, but it would be truer to say that he raced around it. He was fastidious about his person--taking more baths than several other medieval kings put together, and owning the ultimate in luxury, for that time, a dressing-gown. He loved good food and drink, and gambled a great deal, though he usually lost--the results of his typical impatience and carelessness are recorded on his expense rolls; above all things he loved women. Some say his 'elopment' was the cause of his loss of Normandy. He was generous to the poor (for instance, he remitted to them the penalties of the forest law), and to his servants; at the least he went through the motions of being a Christian king. He was extortionate, though if one considers the terrific increase in his outgoings (a mercenary soldier cost him 200 per cent more in wages than he would have in Henry II's day) one can understand some of his actions in the field. He was deeply concerned about justice, took care to attend to court business, and listened to supplicants with sympathy; he had also an urgent desire for peace in the land, saying that his peace was to be observed 'even if we have granted it to a dog.' But for all that, he had two totally unredeeming vices; he was suspicious, and enjoyed a cloak-and-dagger atmosphere--simply he did not inspire trust in his subjects. Dr. Warren says of him with some justice that if he had lived in the twentieth centure he would have adored to run a secret police.
He was born at Oxford on Christmas Eve 1167. He was oblated for a monk at the abbey of Fontevrault at the age of one year, but was back at court by the time he was six--plainly he had no vocation, but he probably picked up at this early stage his fastidiousness and his passion for books: his library followed him wherever he went. He was his father's favourite, but he turned against the old man when his chance came, as he did against Richard (who had been very generous to his brother) when the latter was in captivity in 1193. The episode was a miserable failure, but it possibly sowed the seeds of distrust for John in England, where they began to sprout luxuriantly in 1199 when Richard died and John came to the throne.

19 DEC 1154 Recognized as King of England upon death of King Stephen
Event: Ancestor M
Note:
Henry II was born at Le Mans in 1133. He was the eldest son of the Empress Matilda, daughter of Henry I, by her second marriage to Geoffrey the Fair of Anjou. His parents' marriage was tempestous, and both parties were glad when politics brought a separation, with Matilda going to England to fight King Stephen, and Geoffrey of Normandy to win a heritage for young Henry.
He first came to England at the age of nine when his mother made her dramatic escape from Oxford where she was besieged by Stephen, across the ice and snow, dressed all in white, to welcome him at Wallingford. His next visit, when he was fourteen, showed his character: he recruited a small army of mercenaries to cross over and fight Stephen in England, but failed so miserably in the execution of his plans that he ended up borrowing money from Stephen to get back home. A third expedition, two years later, was almost as great a failure. Henry was not a soldier, his were skills of administration and diplomacy; warfare bored and sometimes frightened him. For the meanwhile he now concentrated on Normandy, of which his father had made him joint ruler. In 1151, the year of his father's death, he went to Paris to do homage to Louis VII for his duchy. There he met Queen Eleanor, and she fell in love with him.
Henry was by no means averse. To steal a king's wife does a great deal for the ego of a young duke; he was as lusty as she, and late in their lives he was still ardently wenching with 'the fair Rosamund' Clifford, and less salubrious girls with names like 'Bellebelle'; finally, she would bring with her the rich Duchy of Aquitaine, which she held in her own right. With this territory added to those he hoped to inherit and win, his boundaries would be Scotland in the north, and the Pyrenees in the south.
Henry was, apart from his prospects, a 'catch' for any woman. He was intelligent, had learned Latin and could read and possibly write; immensely strong and vigorous, a sportsman and hard rider who loved travel; emotional and passionate, prone to tears and incredible rages; carelessly but richly dressed, worried enough in later life to conceal his baldness by careful arrangement of his hair, and very concerned not to grow fat.
But now he was in the prime of youth, and in 1153, when he landed with a large force in Bristol, the world was ready to be won. He quickly gained control of the West Country and moved up to Wallingford for a crucial battle with Stephen. This was avoided, however, because in thepreparations for the battle Henry fell from his horse three times, a bad omen. Henry himself was not superstitious -- he was the reverse, a cheerful blasphemer -- but he disliked battles and when his anxious advisers urged him to heed the omen, he willingly agreed to parley privately with Stephen. The conference was a strange occasion: there were only two of them there, at the narowest point of the Thames, with Henry on one bank and Stephen on the other. None the less, they seem to have come to an agreement to take negotiations further.
That summer Stephen's son died mysteriously, and Eleanor bore Henry an heir (about the same time as an English whore Hikenai produced his faithful bastard Geoffrey). The omens clearly showed what was soon confirmed between the two -- that when Stephen died, Henry should rule in his place. A year later Stephen did die, and in December 1154, Henry and Eleanor were crowned in London.
Henry was only 21, but he soon showed his worth, destroying unlicensed castles, and dispersing the foreign mercenaries. He gave even-handed justice, showing himself firm, but not unduly harsh. A country racked by civil war sighed with relief. Only two major difficulties appeared: first Henry's failure in his two Welsh campaigns in 1157 and 1165, when guerilla tactics utterly defeated and on the first occasion nearly killed him; 1099 - 1137 VIII Guillaume 38 38 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Count Of Poitou

In 1131 he recognized the antipope Anaclet and supported him until 1134. In 1136 he ravaged Normandy. The following year he went on a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, where he died. His daughter, Eleanor of Aquitaine, inherited all his lands and, first, through her marriage to Louis VII of France, united Aquitaine with the Capetian line and, then, through her marriage to Duke Henry of Normandy (the future Henry II of England) united Aquitaine to the Plantagenet line.

William IX spent most of his life in warfare, including leading an unsuccessful Crusade to the Holy Land (1101-02) and battling the Moors near Cordova (1120-23). His fame rests chiefly, however, on his being the first poet in the Provençal language whose works have come down to us. His chansons, or songs, are boisterous, amorous, humorous, usually delicate but sometimes coarsely obscene and tend, in the fashion of courtly love, to idolize one's lady love.

Robert THE STRONG (LE FORT) (d. Sept. 15, 866, Brissarthe, Fr.), count of Anjou and of Blois, appears as rector of the abbey of Marmoutier in 852, and as one of Charles the Bald's missi dominici in 853; but soon afterward he was among those who rebelled against Charles and invited the king's half-brother, Louis the German, to invade West Francia.
In 860 Robert came to terms with Charles, who made him count of Anjou and of Blois and entrusted him with the defense of that part of his kingdom which lay between the Seine and the Loire, a district which had suffered greatly from the ravages of the Normans and the Bretons. A great victory over the Northmen in 865 was followed by the King's grant to Robert of full control over Neustria early the next year. He was killed in battle at Brissarthe in Oct. 866, leaving two sons, Odo or Eudes, and Robert, both of whom became kings of the Franks. The memory of Robert's exploits brought great prestige to his family. His sons, Eudes and Robert I, both became kings of West Francia (or France); and the Capetian kings (from 987) were his direct descendants.

In the next year, 23 June, 1295, he was first summoned to parliament as a baron, and from that period his lordship appears, for several years, to have taken a distinguished part in the Scottish wars. In the 27th Edward I [1299], he was constituted captain-general and lieutenant to the king for the cos. of Nottingham and Derby, and had summons to parliament, uninterruptedly, until 27 January, 1332 (6th Edward III), but he did not hold his lands by barony.

John FitzGeoffrey, son of Geoffrey FitzPiers, Earl of Essex, by Aveline, his 2nd wife, being next male heir of that family on the death of William FitzPiers, Earl of Essex, in 1227, paid a fine to the king of 300 marks for those lands which were his father's and did by hereditary right belong to him, where of this last Earl William died seised. In the 19th of Henry III [1345], this John was constituted sheriff of Yorkshire; and in the 21st of the same reign, upon the treaty then made between the king and the barons, whereby, in consideration of the great charter and charters of the forest being confirmed, a thirtieth part of all men's movables was given to the king, this feudal lord was admitted one of the privy council; and the same year, there being a grand council held at London, he was one of these at the time sent to the Pope's legate to prohibit his attempting anything therein prejudicial to the interest of the king and religion. In eight years afterward, John FitzGeoffrey was one of the commissioners sent from King Henry, with Roger Bigod, Earl of Norfok, and others, to the council at Lyons in order to complain of the great exactions made upon the realm by the holy see; and the next year he was constituted justice of Ireland where, for his services, he received a grant from the crow of the Isles of Thomond. ~1162 - 1213 Geoffrey Fitzpiers 51 51 Name Suffix:<NSFX> 4th Earl Of Essex
Upon the decease of William de Mandeville, 3rd Earl of Essex, much dispute arose regarding the inheritance: Beatrix, his aunt and heir, in the first place, preferring her claim, sent Geoffrey de Say, her younger son, to transact the business for the livery thereof, but Geoffrey FitzPiers insisted upon the right of Beatrix, his wife. Nevertheless, Geoffrey de Say, in consideration of 7,000 marks promised to be paid on a certain day, obtained an instrument in right of his mother, under the king's seal, for the whole of the barony, but the said Geoffrey de Say, making default of payment, this Geoffrey FitzPiers, being a man of great wealth and reputation, made representation that the barony was the right of his wife and, promising to pay the money, obtained livery thereof and procured the king's confirmation of his title. One of the earliest acts of this feudal lord was to dispossess the monks of Walden of certain lands which they had derived from his predecessors, a proceeding followed by a long controversy, which, after being referred to the Pope and the King, was finally compromised. Upon the removal of Hubert, Archbishop of Canterbury, from the office of Justice of England by Richard I, this Geoffrey was appointed to succeed him, and at the coronation of King John, 26 June, 1199, he was girt with the sword as Earl of Essex, and then served at the king's table. Being nominated patron of the monastery at Walden, he appears soon after to have been received with great ceremony by the monks and perfectly reconciled to those holy fathers. In the 7th King John, he had a grant of the castle and honour of Berkhamstead, with the knights' fees thereunto belonging to hold to him and the heirs of his body, by Aveline, his 2nd wife. His lordship m. 1st, Beatrix de Say, by whom he had issue, Geoffrey, William, Henry, all of whom assumed the name of Mandeville, and Maud, m. to Robert de Bohun. He m. 2ndly, Aveline ---, and had an only son, John FitzPiers, Lord of Berkhamstead. His lordship, whom Matthew Paris characterizes as "ruling the reins of government so that after his death the realm was like a ship in a tempest without a pilot," d. 2 October, 1213, and was s. by his eldest son, Geoffrey de Mandeville.

----------
GEOFFREY FITZ PETER (d. 1213), earl of Essex and chief justiciar of England, was a sheriff, a justice itinerant and a justice of the forest under Henry II. During Richard's absence on crusade he was one of the five justices of the king's court who stood next in authority to the regent, Longchamp. In 1190 Fitz Peter succeeded to the earldom of Essex, in the right of his wife, who was descended from the famous Geoffrey de Mandeville. In attempting to asset his hereditary rights over Walden priory Fitz Peter came into conflict with Longchamp, and revenged himself by joining in the baronial agitation through which the regent was expelled from his office. Though refusing to give him formal investiture of the Essex earldom, Richard appointed him justiciar in succession to Hubert Walter (1198). Fitz Peter continued Walter's policy of encouraging foreign trade and the development of the towns; many of the latter received, during his administration, charters of self-government. He was continued in his office by John, who found him an able instrument of extortion. He profited to no small extent by the spoliation of church lands in the period of the interdict. But he was not altogether trusted by the king. The contemporary "Historie des ducs" described Fitz Peter as living in constant dread of disgrace and confiscation. In the last years of his life he endeavoured to act as a mediator between the king and the opposition. It was by his mouth that the king promised to the nation the laws of Henry I. (at the council of St. Albans, Aug. 4, 1213). But  ~1132 - >1198 Piers De Lutegareshale 66 66 ~1142 Maud De Mandeville ~1106 - 1144 Geoffrey II De Mandeville 38 38 Name Suffix:<NSFX> 1st Earl Of Essex
Geoffrey de Mandeville, who in the 5th year of King Stephen [1140], had livery of his inheritance upon paying the sum of £866. 13s. 4d. to the crown, was advanced by that monarch from the degree of baron (by special charter, dated at Westminster), to the dignity of Earl of the county of Essex, unto which charter were witnesses: "William de Ipre, Henry de Essex, John, the son of Robert FitzWalter, Robert de Newburgh, William de St. Clair, William de Dammartin, Richard FitzUrse, and William de Owe;" but notwithstanding this high honour conferred upon him by King Stephen, the Empress Maud, by a more ample charter made at Oxford, allured him to her party, for she not only conferred whatsoever Geoffrey, his grandfather, or William, his father, ever enjoyed, either in lands, forts, or castles, particularly the Tower of London, with the castle under it, to strengthen and fortify at his pleasure, but bestowed upon him the hereditary sheriffalty of London and Middlesex, as also that of Hertfordshire, with the sole power of trying causes in those counties, for which offices and privileges he paid the sum of £360. Moreover, she granted him all the lands in Normandy of Eudo Dapifer with his office of steward as his rightful inheritance and numerous other valuable immunities in a covenant witnessed by Robert, Earl of Gloucester, and several other powerful nobles -- which covenant contained the singular clause, "that neither the Earl of Anjou, her husband, nor herself, nor her children, would ever make peace with the burgesses of London but with the consent of him, the said Geoffrey, because they were his mortal enemies." Beside this, he had a second charter dated at Westminster, re-creating him Earl of Essex, to hold to himself and his heirs, and to have the third penny of the pleas of the sheriffalty, as an earl ought to enjoy in his earldom. King Stephen having information of which proceedings, seized upon the earl in the court, then at St. Alban's, some say after a bloody affray in which the Earl of Arundel, being thrown into the water with his horse, very narrowly escaped drowning; certain it is, that to regain his liberty, the Earl of Essex was constrained not only to give up the Tower of London but his own castles of Walden and Blessey. Wherefore, being transported with wrath, he fell to spoil and rapine, invading the king's demesne lands and others, plundering the abbeys of St. Alban's and Ramsay, which last having surprised at an early hour in the morning, he expelled the monks therefrom, made a fort of the church, and sold their religious ornaments to reward his soldiers, in which depredations he was assisted by his brother-in-law, William de Say, a stout and warlike man, and one Daniel, a counterfeit monk. At last, being publicly excommunicated for his many outrages, he besieged the castle of Burwell in Kent and, going unhelmed in consequence of the heat of the day, he was shot in the head with an arrow, of which wound he soon afterwards died 14 September, 1144.
This noble outlaw had m.

Alice, who m. John de Lacy, constable of Chester. Of his death, Dugdale thus speaks, "Also that for these outrages, having incurred the penalty of excommunication, he happened to be mortally wounded at a little town called Burwell; whereupon, with great contrition for his sins, and making what satisfaction he could, there came at last some of the Knights Templars to him, and putting on him the habit of their order with a red cross, carried his dead corpse into their orchard at the old Temple in London, and coffining it in lead, hanged it on a crooked tree.

Berks, Suffolk, Middlesex, Surrey, Oxford, Cambridge, Herts, Northampton, Warwick, and Essex; whereof Malden was one, which afterwards became the chief seat of his descendants. He was subsequently made constable of the Tower of London and continued to execute the duties of that important office for the remainder of his life.

In the 3rd Henry II, this nobleman obtaining from the king all the lands in Wales which he could win, marched into Cardigan with a great army and fortified divers castles thereabouts. In the 9th of the same reign, we find him summoned by the celebrated Thomas-à-Becket, archbishop of Canterbury, to Westminster, in order to do homage to the prelate for his castle of Tonebruge; which at the command of the king he refused, alleging that holding it by military service it belonged rather to the crown than to the church.

That this family of Alditheley, vulgarly called Audley," says Dugdale, "came to be great and eminent, the ensuing discourse will sufficiently manifest: but that the rise thereof was no higher than King John's time, and that the first who assumed this surname was a branch of that ancient and noble family of Verdon, whose chief seat was at Alton Castle in the northern part of Staffordshire, I am very inclined to believe; partly by reason that Henry had the inheritance of Alditheley given him by Nicholas de Verdon, who d. in the 16th Henry III [1232], or near that time; and partly for that he bore for his arms the same ordinary as Vernon did. . .so that probably the ancestor of this Henry first seated himself at Alditheley: for that there hath been an ancient mansion there, the large moat, northwards from the parish church there (somewhat less than a furlong, and upon the chief part of a fair ascent), do sufficiently manifest."
Henry de Alditheley, to whom Dugdale alludes above, being in great favour with Ranulph, Earl of Chester and Lincoln (the most powerful subject of England in his time), obtained from that nobleman a grant of Newhall in Cheshire with manors in Staffordshire and other parts--and for his adhesion to King John, in that monarch's struggle with the insurrectionary barons, a royal grant of the lordship of Storton in Warwickshire, part of the possessions of Roger de Summerville. In the first four years of King Henry III [1216-1220], he executed the office of sheriff for the counties of Salop and Stafford as deputy for his patron, the great Earl Ranulph. In the 10th of Henry III [1226], this Henry de Alditheley was appointed governor of the castles of Carmarthen and Cardigan and made sheriff the next year of the counties of Salop and Stafford and constable of the castles of Salop and Bridgenorth, which sheriffalty he held for five years. Upon his retirement from office, he had a confirmation of all such lands whereof he was then possessed as well those granted to him by Ranulph, Earl of Chester, and Nicholas de Verdon, as those in Ireland given him by Hugh de Lacy, Earl of Ulster, whose constable he was in that province. He subsequently obtained divers other territorial grants from the crown, but, notwithstanding, when Richard Mareschall, Earl of Pembroke, rebelled and made an incursion into Wales, the king, Henry III, thought it prudent to secure the persons of this Henry and all the other barons-marchers. He was afterwards, however, constituted governor of Shrewsbury in place of John de Lacy, Earl of Lincoln, and, on the death of John, Earl of Chester, governor of the castle of Chester, and also that of Beeston, then called the "Castle on the Rock," and soon after made governor of Newcastle-under-Lyne.

This nobleman, Hugh (Keveliok), 3rd Earl of Chester, joined in the rebellion of the Earl of Lancaster and the King of Scots against King Henry II, and in support of that monarch's son, Prince Henry's pretensions to the crown. In which proceeding he was taken prisoner with the Earl of Leicester at Alnwick, but obtained his freedom soon afterwards upon the king's reconciliation with the young prince. Again, however, hoisting the standard of revolt both in England and Normandy, with as little success, he was again seized and then detained a prisoner for some years. He eventually, however, obtained his liberty and restoration of his lands when public tranquility became completely reestablished some time about the 23rd year of the king's reign. His lordship m. Bertred, dau. of Simon, Earl of Evereux, in Normandy, and had issue, I. Ranulph, his successor; I. Maud, m. to David, Earl of Huntingdon, brother of William, King of Scotland, and had one son and four daus., viz., 1.

The earl had another dau., whose legitimacy is questionable, namely, Amicia,* m. to Ralph de Mesnilwarin, justice of Chester, "a person," says Dugdale, "of very ancient family," from which union the Mainwarings, of Over Peover, in the co. Chester, derive. Dugdale considers Amicia to be a dau. of the earl by a former wife. But Sir Peter Leicester, in his Antiquities of Chester, totally denies her legitimacy. "I cannot but mislike," says he, "the boldness and ignorance of that herald who gave to Mainwaring (late of Peover), the elder, the quartering of the Earl of Chester's arms; for if he ought of right to quarter that coat, then must he be descended from a co-heir to the Earl of Chester; but he was not; for the co-heirs of Earl Hugh married four of the greatest peers in the kingdom."
The earl d. at Leeke, in Staffordshire, in 1181, and was s. by his only son, Ranulph, surnamed Blundevil (or rather Blandevil) from the place of his birth, the town of Album Monasterium, modern Oswestry, in Powys), as 4th Earl of Chester.
* Upon the question of this lady's legitimacy there was a long paper war between Sir Peter Leicester and Sir Thomas Mainwaring---and eventually the matter was referred to the judges, of whose decision Wood says, "at an assize held at Chester, 1675, the controversy was decided by the justices itinerant, who, as I have heard, adjudged the right of the matter to Mainwaring."

----------
Ranulf II de Gernons, 4th Earl of Chester, VICOMTE (Viscount) DE BAYEUX, VICOMTE D'AVRANCHES, Ranulf also spelled RANDULF, or RALPH (b. c. 1100--d. Dec. 16, 1153), a key participant in the English civil war (from 1139) between King Stephen and the Holy Roman empress Matilda (also a claimant to the throne of England). Ranulf, nicknamed 'aux Gernons' (i.e. moustaches), played a prominent and vacillating part in the civil war of Stephen's reign, his actions, in common with most of his peers, springing from personal grievances rather than dynastic loyalty or principle. Ranulf's father, Ranulf I, had been granted the earldom of Chester in 1121 after his maternal uncle had drowned in the White Ship disaster (1120) but, in return, had been compelled to surrender Cumberland and his patrimony of Carlisle. The restoration of these lost estates was the mainspring of much of Ranulf II's political life. Inheriting the Chester earldom in 1129, he initially supported Stephen as king after 1135. However, successive treaties between Stephen and King David of Scotland in 1136 and 1139 gave the Scots large tracts of land in Cumberland coveted by Ranulf who reacted by seizing the town and besieging the castle. Ranulf now allied with the Empress Matilda in defeating the king at Lincoln in February 1141, capturing and briefly imprisoning Stephen. Ranulf's association with the Angevin party was cemented by his marriage in 1141 to the daughter of Robert of Gloucester. Later (1149) he transferred his allegiance to the king in return for a grant of the city and castle of Lincoln. Coventry received its original charter from him. However, his territorial ambitions were no closer realisation as the king of Scots was also a close ally of Matilda. In 1145, Ranulf was reconciled to Stephen. However, there was no love lost between Ranulf and the king's entourage, many of whom had suffered at his hands. In August, 1146, at Northampton, Ranulf was suddenly arrested and put in chains when he refused the king's demand to restore all lands he had taken. He was only released when he surrendered all former royal property, including Lincoln. Stephen's arrest of Ranulf was a public relations disaster. He had broken his oath of reconciliation of 1145 and his own promise of protection, thus deterring any more defections from the Angevin faction. Stephen had breached a central tenet of effective medieval rule, that of being a good -- i.e. fair -- lord. Ranulf joined Henry FitzEmpress and was reconciled with David of Scotland who, in return for the lavish grant to Ranulf of most of Lancashire, retained Carlisle. But Ranulf was never a party man. His priorities remained centred on his own territorial and dynastic advantage, as shown by his 'conventio' with a leading royalist baron Robert of Leicester (1149/53). Under this treaty, the two magnates, independe ~1088 - 1147 Robert De Caen 59 59 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Earl Of Gloucester

ROBERT, EARL OF GLOUCESTER had all the kingly attributes except one: legitimacy. The eldest of Henry I's twenty or so bastards, literate, intelligent, brave, adept at the factional politics of court, and a patron of both the church and the arts, Robert had to stand back to watch others compete for the throne, literally so in 1127 when he lost his claim to precedence over his cousin Stephen of Blois when doing homage to his half-sister the Empress Matilda. It was some measure of an increase in orderliness and legal propriety that William the Bastard could inherit a duchy and win a crown, while his grandson, Robert, whose personal crudentials were second to none, had to be content with a supporting role.
Under Henry I, Robert was prominent in a party consistently loyal to the king. In 1119, Robert fought at Brémule against the king of France and in 1123 against the Norman rebels; in 1126, he was given custody of his uncle Robert Curthose. Despite acquiescing in Matilda's succession, he still fought against the Angevins on Henry's behalf in the 1130s. Robert's reward was in lands in South Wales and the West Country and the earldom of Gloucester (1122). After Henry's death in 1135, it was not his loyalty to the Empress which swayed him so much as his own self-interest: arguably, his hesitation in deciding where that lay allowed Stephen to grab the throne.
Admired by William of Malmesbury, Robert has traditionally been seen as a noble, chivalrous defender of the hereditary rights of his half-sister. His actions between 1135 and 1139 suggest more selfish motives. His unusual conditional homage to Stephen in 1136 signalled his importance to the new king but it may also have been forced on him by his isolation among the English baronage and the threat to his lands in South-East Wales posed by a Welsh revolt, the crushing of which, it has recently been suggested, may have prompted Robert's literary protégé, Geoffrey of Monmouth, to write his 'History of the Kings of Britain.' Although Robert cooperated with Stephen at the siege of Exeter in 1136, he soon became alienated from the new regime, not least because of the favours granted to the Beaumont twins, Waleran of Meulan and Robert of Leicester, old rivals from the court of Henry I. Opposition to the Beaumonts provide a leitmotif in the rest of Robert of Gloucester's career, not least in the fighting at Wareham (1138), Worcester (1139) and Tewkesbury (1140).
It was probably the growing influence of Waleran of Meulan in particular that led to Robert distancing himself from the king in Normandy in 1137 and his fears of assassination by the royalist mercenary, William of Ypres. In 1138, the formal break with Stephen occurred, but after the failure of the Angevins to capture Normandy in 1138-9, Robert, perhaps in desperation lest his English estates would be lost, landed at Arundel with Matilda to dispute the English throne. In England, Robert provided the judicious advice, material support and personal charm that Matilda so conspicuously lacked. That she retained followers at all may in part have been the achivement of her gregarious and generous half-brother with his knack for friendship. Although playing the leading military role on the Empress's side, Robert also managed to use the civil war to build an almost impregnable power-base for himself in South-West England, centred on Bristol, a control that the vicissitudes of the wider dynastic struggle did little to challenge. 1141 saw his greatest triumph in the crushing defeat of the king at Lincoln in February, but his victory exposed the vulnerability of his position. Unless he looked after his own interests, he would have no more guarantee of security at an Angevin than at a Blois court.

The duplicate of this letter exists amongst the pubic archives, and the seal of "Edmundus de Eyncourt" thereto appended, is in good preservation and was engraved in 1729, in the 1st vol. of the "Vetusta Monumenta." Baron Edmund was also present, 33rd Edward I [1305], when the king refused permission to the bishop of Durham to present a foreign bishop, on the Pope's recommendation, to the priory of Coldingham.

By his wife, Matilda, he had two sons, William and Ralph. William, probably the eldest, while receiving his education in the Court of King William Rufus, d. there, as appears by an inscription on a plate of lead, found in the churchyard near the west door of Lincoln Cathedral, before Dugdale published his baronage, which contains an engraving of the plate, still preserved in the library of that church. From this inscription it seems he was descended from the royal family, probably through his mother. The inscription runs as follows: -- "Hic jacet Wilhelmus filius Walteri Aiencuriensis, consanguinei Remigii Episcopi Lincolnensis, qui hanc ecclesiam fecit -- Prœfatus Wilhelmus, regid stirpe progenitus, dum in curia Wilhelmi filii magni Regis Wilhelmi qui Angliam conquisivit aleretur III.

William de Albini, surnamed Pincerna, son of Roger de Albini and elder brother of Nigel de Albini, whose posterity assumed and attained such eminence under the name of Mowbray, accompanied the Conqueror into England and acquired extensive territorial possessions by royal grants in Norfolk and other counties. Of these grants was the lordship of Bokenham, to be holden by the service of being Butler to the Kings of England on the day of their coronation, and in consequence we find this William styled in divers charters "Pincerna Henrici Regis Anglorum." William de Albini founded the abbey of Wymondham in Norfolk and gave to the monks of Rochester the tithes of the manor of Elham, as also one carucate of land in Achestede, with a wood called Acholte. He likewise bestowed upon the abbey of St. Etienne at Caen, in Normandy, all his lands lying in Stavell, which grant he made in the presence of King Henry and his barons. He m.

At the obsequies of Maud, William de Albini gave to the monks of Wymondham the manor of Hapesburg, in pure alms, and made livery thereof to the said monks by a cross of silver, in which (says Dugdale) was placed certain venerable reliques, viz., "part of the wood of the cross whereon our Lord was crucified; part of the manger wherein he was laid at his birth; and part of the sepulchre of the Blessed Virgin; as also a gold ring, and a silver chalice for retaining the Holy Eucharist, admirably wrought in form of a sphere; unto which pious donation his three sons were witnesses, with several other persons." The exact time of the decease of this great feudal baron is not ascertained, but it is known that he was buried before the high altar in the abbey of Wymondham, and that the monks were in the constant habit of praying for his soul by the name of "William de Albini, the king's butler."

This nobleman, upon the return of King Richard from captivity, took arms in his behalf and, joining the Earl of Chester, besieged Nottingham Castle, which, after a brief resistance, surrendered. For this and other acts of fidelity, he was chosen by the king to sit with the rest of the peers in the great council held at the said castle in Nottingham in the ensuing March. Moreover, at Richard's second coronation he was one of the four that carried the canopy over the king's head. Upon the accession of King John, his lordship, with the Earls of Clare and Chester, and other great men, swore fealty to the new monarch but upon the condition that each person should have his right. His lordship was present at the coronation of King John and 7 June following, being solemnly created Earl of Derby by special charter dated at Northampton, he was girt with a sword by the king's own hands (being the first of whom in any charter that expression was used). He had also a grant of the third penny of all the pleas before the sheriff throughout the whole country whereof he was earl, to hold to him and his heirs as amply as any of his ancestors had enjoyed the same. Moreover, in consideration of 4,000 marks, he obtained another charter from the king of the manor of Higham-Ferrers, co. Northampton, with the hundred and park; as also of the manors of Bliseworth and Newbottle, in the same shire; which were part of the lands of his great grandfather, William Peverel of Nottingham. King John also conferred upon him a mansion-house situated in the parish of St. Margaret within the city of London, which had belonged to Isaac, a Jew, at Norwich, to hold by the service of waiting upon the king (the earl and his heirs), at all festivals yearly without any cap, but with a garland of the breadth of his little finger upon his head. These liberal marks of royal favour were felt so gratefully by the earl that in all the subsequent struggles between the king and the refractory barons, his lordship never once swerved from his allegiance, but remained true to the monarch; and loyalty to the interests of his son, King henry III. His lordship assisted at the coronation of the new monarch and immediately after the ensuing Easter, he took part with the famous William Marshall (governor of the king and kingdom), the Earls of Chester and Albemarle, and many other great men in the siege of Mountsorell Castle in Leicestershire, then held by Henry de Braybroke and ten other stout knights. And the same year was likewise with those noble persons at raising the siege of Lincoln, which place the rebellious barons with Lewis, King of France, had invested. His lordship m. Agnes, sister and one of the co-heirs of Ranulph, Earl of Chester, by whom he had two sons, William and Thomas. He died of the gout in 1246 and his countess d. in the same year after a union, according to some authorities, of seventy-five, and by others, of fifty-five years.

Henry Ferrers, son of Walchelin, assumed the name from Ferriers, a small town of Gastinois, in France, otherwise called Ferrieres, from the iron mines with which that country abounded, and, in allusion to the circumstance, he bore for his arms "six horses' shoes," either from the similitude of his cognomen to the French Ferrier, or because the seigneurie produced iron, so essential to the soldier and cavalier in those rude times when war was esteemed the chief business of life, and the adroit management of the steed, even amongst the nobility, the first of accomplishments. Henry de Ferrers came into England with the Conqueror and obtained a grant of Tutbury Castle, in the county of Stafford. According to Stapleton, he was ancestor of the Oakham house of Ferrers, whose memory is preserved by the horseshoes hanging in the hall of their castle. He m.

The first of this eminent family that settled in England was Henry de Feriers, son of Walcheline de Feriers, a Norman, who obtained from William the Conqueror a grant of Tutbury Castle, co. Stafford, with extensive possessions in other shires, of which 114 manors were in Derbyshire. This person must have been of considerable rank, not only from these enormous grants, but from the circumstances of his being one of the commissioners appointed by the Conqueror to make the great survey of the kingdom. He was the founder of the Cluniac priory at Tutbury which he liberally endowed. By Berta his wife he had issue, Egenulph, d. v. p.; William, d. v. p.; Robert, his successor; Gundred; and Emmeline.

William I, byname WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR, or THE BASTARD, or WILLIAM OF NORMANDY, French GUILLAUME LE CONQUÉRANT, or LE BÂTARD, or GUILLAUME DE NORMANDIE (b. c. 1028, Falaise, Normandy--d. Sept. 9, 1087, Rouen), duke of Normandy (as William II) from 1035 and king of England from 1066, one of the greatest soldiers and rulers of the Middle Ages. He made himself the mightiest feudal lord in France and then changed the course of England's history by his conquest of that country.
Early years
William was the elder of two children of Robert I of Normandy and his concubine Herleva, or Arlette, the daughter of a burgher from the town of Falaise. In 1035 Robert died when returning from a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and William, his only son, whom he had nominated as his heir before his departure, was accepted as duke by the Norman magnates and his feudal overlord, King Henry I of France. William and his friends had to overcome enormous obstacles. His illegitimacy (he was generally known as the Bastard) was a handicap, and he had to survive the collapse of law and order that accompanied his accession as a child.
Three of William's guardians died violent deaths before he grew up, and his tutor was murdered. His father's kin were of little help; most of them thought that they stood to gain by the boy's death. But his mother managed to protect William through the most dangerous period. These early difficulties probably contributed to his strength of purpose and his dislike of lawlessness and misrule.
Ruler of Normandy.
By 1042, when William reached his 15th year, was knighted, and began to play a personal part in the affairs of his duchy, the worst was over. But his attempts to recover rights lost during the anarchy and to bring disobedient vassals and servants to heel inevitably led to trouble. From 1046 until 1055 he dealt with a series of baronial rebellions, mostly led by kinsmen. Occasionally he was in great danger and had to rely on Henry of France for help. In 1047 Henry and William defeated a coalition of Norman rebels at Val-ès-Dunes, southeast of Caen. It was in these years that William learned to fight and rule.
William soon learned to control his youthful recklessness. He was always ready to take calculated risks on campaign and, most important, to fight a battle. But he was not a chivalrous or flamboyant commander. His plans were simple, his methods direct, and he exploited ruthlessly any advantage gained. If he found himself at a disadvantage, he withdrew immediately. He showed the same
qualities in his government. He never lost sight of his aim to recover lost ducal rights and revenues, and, although he developed no theory of government or great interest in administrative techniques, he was always prepared to improvise and experiment. He seems to have lived a moral life by the standards of the time, and he acquired an interest in the welfare of the Norman church. He made his half brother, Odo, bishop of Bayeux in 1049 at the age of about 16, and Odo managed to combine the roles of nobleman and prelate in a way that did not greatly shock contemporaries. But William also welcomed foreign monks and scholars to Normandy. Lanfranc of Pavia, a famous master of the liberal arts, who entered the monastery of Bec about 1042, was made abbot of Caen in 1063.
According to a brief description of William's person by an anonymous author, who borrowed extensively from Einhard's Life of Charlemagne, he was just above average height and had a robust, thick-set body. Though he was always sparing of food and drink, he became fat in later life. He had a rough bass voice and was a good and ready speaker. Writers of the next generation agree that he was exceptionally strong and vigorous. William was an out-of-doors man, a hunter and soldier, fierce and despotic, generally feared; uneducated, he had few graces but was intelligent and shrewd and soon obtained the respect of his rivals.

Roger of Montgomery, first earl of Shrewbury, created one of the most powerful and strategically important lordships in post-Conquest England. The son of a Norman vicomte, he first appears in the army of Duke William in 1051-2. Probably only a few years younger than the duke, thereafter he enjoyed William's special confidence. In the early 1050s he greatly increased his estates by marrying the forceful Mabel, heiress to the extensive lordship of Bellême. Although closely involved in planning the invasion of 1066, Roger remained in the duchy to help the administration of the Duchess Matilda. It was only the later romances of Wace that put him at Hastings, a tribute to his subsequent fame and reputation. In 1067, however, he accompanied William to England where he received huge estates in Sussex and Shropshire. By the end of 1074, he was titled earl of Shrewsbury. His administration of his Marcher lands provide an insight in how the Conquest was secured. Roger had a more or less free hand. Before 1066, there had been no crown lands or royal thegns in Shropshire; by 1086, apart from Roger, there were only five other lay tenants-in-chief in the whole county. To support him, Roger gave out land to men already his vassals in Normandy with whom he set about building castles (as at Shrewsbury and Montgomery) and extending his power into Wales. Orderic Vitalis, whose father, Odelerius, was Roger's chaplain, described the earl as wise and prudent, 'a lover of justice, who always enjoyed the company of learned and sober men.' His English subjects were as unimpressed as they were unfavoured. The citizens of Shrewsbury complained that they still had to pay the same level of geld after the castle had been built as before, perhaps because of the loss of houses incurred in its construction, let alone the forced labour. Roger's rule was effective and ruthless: his authority based on ties of personal allegiance; a network of castles; successful protection from the Welsh; and brute force. In many ways he remained a conquereor and exploiter rather than a settler. But he left his mark on the Marches, in his castle mounds and the perpetuation of his name in the Welsh town and county of Montgomery. As J. LePatourel wrote, Roger's career 'shows what was possible in Norman society during the eleventh century.' [Who's Who in Early Medieval England, Christopher Tyerman, Shepheard-Walwyn, Ltd., London, 1996]
A great patron of monasticism, he became a monk in his newly founded Abbey of Shrewsbury just before he died in 1094. His Norman inheritance passed to his eldest surviving son, Robert of Bellême, and the title and the English lands went to Robert's younger brother, Hugh. Upon the latter's death in 1098, the title went to Robert. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97]

Note:
Miles of Gloucester was a leading protagonist in Matilda's attempt to win the English throne. Sometimes regarded as one of Henry I's 'new men', Miles was the hereditary sheriff of Gloucestershire and castellan of Gloucester, the position first acquired by his grandfather, Roger of Pitres, in the reign of William the Conqueror. Miles succeeded his father, Walter, sometime before 1126. By marriage, he secured the Welsh lordship of Brecknock and from Matilda in 1141-2 the sub-tenancy of Abergavenny. His power in the west was consolidated by his acting as local justiciar. Loyal to Henry I, he nevertheless soon recognised Stephen and by Easter 1136 was acting as his constable. Miles remained close to Stephen in the early years of the reign, playing an important role in the suppression of the Welsh rising of 1136.
In 1139, however, he joined Matilda almost as soon as she landed. Given the adherence to Matilda of Miles's more powerful neighbor, Robert of Gloucester, this change of allegiance may have been prompted by self-preservation as much as legitimist devotion. Whatever his motives, Miles proved one of Matilda's most effective commanders: in 1139 alone he secured Gloucester and Hereford; relieved Wallingford and sacked Worcester. In 1141, however, he only managed to flee the Rout of Winchester by abandoning his weapons and stripping off all his armour so that he arrived at Gloucester 'weary, half-naked and alone.' Earlier that year, at the height of her power, Matilda had created Miles earl of Hereford, confirming his position as a sort of military viceroy in the southern Marches. One of his duties was to raise finances for Matilda's campaigns, but he encountered stern opposition when he attempted to tax the church. Even though supported by Gilbert Foliot, then abbot of Gloucester and his protégé, Miles was placed under an interdict by Robert of Béthune, bishop of Hereford. Such fiscal expedients, common to both sides in a civil war, no doubt played a part in colouring the gloomy and hostile tone of ecclesiastical commentators on the conflict. Few issues aroused the moral indignation of established medieval clergy more certainly than heavy financial exactions levied on their institutions. Miles himself came to an unfortunate end, accidentally shot dead by one of his companions while out hunting in the Forest of Dean, an accident eerily reminiscent of the death of William II.
Despite his apparent fickleness, Miles was far from being a representative of any so-called 'feudal anarchy.' His local authority depended on his maintenance of a combination of public justice, royal favour, and private acquisition of land; thus did he calculate his political advantage. Once decided, he seems to have acted with conspicuous loyalty. Nearly the last thing he, or his fellow magnates, wanted was a baronial free-for-all with its promise of the last thing they wanted: loss of estates and titles. ~1204 - <1238 Sibyl Marshal 34 34 1172 - 1220 Isabel De Clare 48 48 Isabel became in ward to King Henry II and remained under the royal guardianship for the space of fourteen years, when she was given in marriage to William Marshal, who thereupon became Earl of Pembroke.

Robert de Ufford, 2nd baron, K.G., was summoned to parliament from 27 January, 1332, to 14 January, 1337. This nobleman was in the wars of Gascony in the reign of Edward II and he obtained, in the beginning of Edward III's reign, in requital of his eminent services, a grant for life of the town and castle of Orford, co. Suffolk, and, soon after, further considerable territorial possessions, also by grant from the crown in consideration of the personal danger he had incurred in arresting, by the king's command, Mortimer and some of his adherents in the castle of Nottingham. His lordship was solemnly advanced in the parliament to the dignity of Earl of Suffolk, 16 March, 1336, "habendum sibi et hæredibus sula." Whereupon he was associated with William de Bohun, Earl of Northampton, and John Darcy, steward of the king's household, to treat with David Brus, of Scotland, touching a league of peace and amity. And the same year, going beyond sea on the king's service, had an assignation of £300 out of the exchequer towards his expenses in that employment, which was in the wars of France, for it appears that he then accompanied the Earl of Derby, being with him at the battle of Cagant. After which time he was seldom out of some distinguished action. In the 12th Edward III [1339], being in the expedition made into Flanders, he was the next year one of the marshals when King Edward besieged Cambray, and his lordship within a few years subsequently was actively engaged in the wars of Brittany. In the 17th of this reign [1344], the Earl of Suffolk was deputed to the court of Rome, there to treat in the presence of his holiness, touching an amicable peace and accord between the English monarch and Philip de Valois, and he marched the same year with Henry of Lancaster, Earl of Derby, to the relief of Loughmaben Castle, then besieged by the Scots. Soon after this he was made admiral of the king's whole fleet northward. For several years subsequently, his lordship was with King Edward in France, and he was one of the persons presented by that monarch with harness and other accoutrements for the tournament at Canterbury in the 22nd year of his reign [1349]. In seven years afterwards we find the earl again in France with the Black Prince; and at the celebrated battle of Poictiers, fought and so gloriously won in the following year, his lordship achieved the highest military renown by his skill as a leader and his personal courage at the head of his troops. He was subsequently elected a knight of the Garter.
His lordship m. Margaret, sister of Sir John Norwich, and widow of Sir Thomas Cailly, and had issue, Robert, William, Cecilie, Catherine, and Margaret.
The earl's last testament bears date in 1368, and he d. in the following year. Amongst other bequests, he leaves to his son, William, "the sword wherewith the king girt him when he created him earl; as also his bed, with the eagle entire; and his summer vestment, powdered with leopards."

Rodolph, third Count of Guisnes (whose grandfather was Siegfred, the Dane, first Count, grandson of Harold V, King of Denmark) espoused Rosetta, daughter of Hugh, second Count St. Pol, and had three sons who accompanied the Conqueror into England, one of whom returned into Normandy, while the other two, Sir Robert and Sir William, remained and participated largely in the spoils of conquest -- Sir William obtaining several lordships in Lincolnshire, and Sir Robert no less than thirteen lordships in the county of Suffolk, of which Ixworth was the head of the feudal barony.

----------
The origin of this most ancient and distinguished family is traced from the Counts of Guisnes, in Picardy, a race of nobles descended from the Scandinavian rulers of Denmark. Rodolph, 3rd count of Guisnes, had three sons by his wife Rosetta, dau. of the Count de St. Pol, all of whom accompanied William the Conqueror in his expedition against England in 1066, and contributing to the triumph of their chief, shared amply in the spoils of conquest. One of the brothers returned to his native country; the other two adopted that which they had so gallantly helped to win and abided there. Of these, Sir William le Blount, the younger, was a general of foot at Hastings and was rewarded by grants of seven lordships in Lincolnshire; his son was seated at Saxlingham, in Norfolk, and the great-granddau. of that gentleman, sole heiress of her line, Maria le Blount, marrying in the next century Sir Stephen le Blount, the descendant and representative of her great-great-great-uncle, Sir Robert le Blount, united the families of the two brothers.

William de Albini, surnamed "William with the strong hand," from the following circumstance, as related by Dugdale:---
"It happened that the Queen of France, being then a widow, and a very beautify woman, became much in love with a knight of that country, who was a comely person, and in the flower of his youth: and because she thought that no man excelled him in valour, she caused a tournament to be proclaimed throughout her dominions, promising to reward those who should exercise themselves therein, according to their respective demerits; and concluding that if the person whom she so well affected could act his part better than the others in those military exercises, she might marry him without any dishonour to herself. Hereupon divers gallant men, from forrain parts hastening to Paris, amongst others came this our William de Albini, bravely accoutered, and in the tournament excelled all others, overcoming many, and wounding one mortally with his lance, which being observed by the queen, she became exceedingly enamoured of him, and forthwith invited him to a costly banquet, and afterwards bestowing certain jewels upon him, offered him marriage; but, having plighted his troth to the Queen of England, then a widow, he refused her, whereat she grew so much discontented that she consulted with her maids how she might take away his life; and in pursuance of that design, inticed him into a garden, where there was a secret cave, and in it a fierce lion, unto which she descended by divers steps, under colour of shewing him the beast; and when she told him of its fierceness, he answered, that it was a womanish and not a manly quality to be afraid thereof. But having him there, by the advantage of a folding door, thrust him in to the lion; being therefore in this danger, he rolled his mantle about his arm and, putting his hand into the mouth of the beast, pulled out his tongue by the root; which done, he followed the queen to her palace and gave it to one of her maids to present her. Returning thereupon to England, with the fame of this glorious exploit, he was forthwith advanced to the Earldom of Arundel, and for his arms the lion given him."
He subsequently obtained the hand of the Queen Adeliza, relict of King Henry I, and daughter of Godfrey, Duke of Lorraine, which Adeliza had the castle of Arundel in dowry from the deceased monarch, and thus her new lord became its feudal earl. The earl was one of those who solicited the Empress Maud to come to England, and received her and her brother, Robert, Earl of Gloucester, at the port of Arundel, in August, 1139, and in three years afterwards (1142), in the report made of King Stephen's taking William de Mandevil at St. Albans, it is stated -- "that before he could be laid hold on, he underwent a sharp skirmish with the king's party, wherein the Earl of Arundel, though a stout and expert soldier, was unhorsed in the midst of the water by Walkeline de Oxeai, and almost drowned." In 1150, his lordship wrote himself Earl of Chichester, but we find him styled again Earl of Arundel, upon a very memorable occasion -- namely, the reconciliation of Henry Duke of Normandy (afterwards Henry II) and King Stephen at the siege of Wallingford Castle in 1152. "It was scarce possible," says Rapin, "for the armies to part without fighting. Accordingly the two leaders were preparing for battle with equal ardour, when, by the prudent advice of the Earl of Arundel, who was on the king's side, they were prevented from coming to blows." A truce and peace followed this interference of the earl's, which led to the subsequent accession of Henry after Stephen's decease, in whose favour the Earl stood so high that he not only obtained for himself and his heirs the castle and honour of Arundel, but a confirmation of the Earldom of Sussex, of which county he was really earl, by a grant of the Tertium Denarium of the pleas of that shire.

Roger de Mortimer, who, in the 31st Henry III [1247], paying 2000 marks to the king, had livery of all his lands excepting those whereof Gladuse, his mother then surviving, was endowed. In six years afterwards he attended the king in his expedition into Gascony and in a few years subsequently, when Lewelin, Prince of Wales, began again to make incursions upon the marches, received command to assist Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, in the defence of the country lying between Montgomery and the lands of the Earl of Gloucester. In the 42nd of the same reign [1258] he had another military summons to march with the king against the Welsh, and, being in that service, had a special discharge of his scutage for those twenty-six knights.' fees and a sixth part which he held in right of Maud, his wife, one of the daus. and co-heirs of William de Braose, of Brecknock. In the two years afterwards, he was made captain-general of all the king's forces in Wales, all the barons marchers receiving command to be attendant on him with their whole strength, and he was the same year constituted governor of the castle of Hereford. But notwithstanding this extensive power and those great resources, he was eventually worsted by Lewelin and constrained to sue of permission to depart, which the Welsh prince, owing to his consanguinity, conceded. After this he took an active part in the contest between Henry III and the insurrectionary barons in favour of the former. He was at the battle of Lewes, when he fled into Wales and afterwards successfully planned the escape of Prince Edward. The exploit is thus detailed by Dugdale: "Seeing therefore his sovereign in this great distress, and nothing but ruine and misery attending himself and all other the king's loyal subjects, he took no rest till he had contrived some way for their deliverance; and to that end sent a swift horse for the prince, then prisoner with the king in the castle of Hereford, with intimation that he should obtain leave to ride out for recreation into a place called Windmersh; and that upon sight of a person mounted on a white horse at the foot of Tulington Hill, and waving his bonnet (which was the Lord of Croft, as it was said), he should hasten towards him with all possible speed, which being accordingly done (though all the country thereabouts were thither called to prevent his escape), setting spurs to that horse he overwent them all. Moreover that being come to the park of Tulington, this Roger met him with five hundred armed men, and seeing many to pursue, chased them back to the gates of Hereford, making great slaughter amongst them." Having thus accomplished his prince's freedom, Mortimer, directing all his energies to the embodying a sufficient force to meet the enemy, soon placed Prince Edward in a situation to fight and win the great battle of Evesham (4 August, 1265), by which the king was restored to his freedom and his crown. In this celebrated conflict Mortimer commanded the third division of the royal army and, for his faithful services, obtained, in the October following, a grant of the whole earldom and honour of Oxford, at that time and by that treason forfeited. The Dictum of Kenilworth followed soon after the victory of Evesham, by which the defeated barons were suffered to regain their lands upon the payment of a stipulated fine, but this arrangement is said to have caused great irritation amongst the barons marchers, (Mortimer with the rest), who had acquired grants of those estates. He was, however, subsequently entrusted by the crown with the castle of Hereford, which he had orders to fortify, and was appointed sheriff of Herefordshire. After the accession of Edward I [1272], he continued to enjoy the sunshine of royal favour and had other valuable grants from the crown.

Roger de Mortimer, Lord of Wigmore, a feudal baron who, like his predecessors, was in constant strife with the Welsh. At one time he sustained a great defeat in conjunction with Hugh de Say, but in the end he was victorious and took twelve of their principal leaders in one battle. He also enlarged considerably his territories and drove thieves and robbers from those pars. Being at one time present at the solemn anniversary of his father, he confirmed all his grants to the canons of Wigmore, adding, of his own gift, a spacious and fruitful pasture lying adjacent to the abbey, called the Treasure of Mortimer, upon which occasion, his steward remonstrating with him for parting with so valuable a treasure, he replied, "I have laid up my treasure in that field, where thieves cannot steal or dig, or moth corrupt." D. 26 Feb 1179-1180 Hugh De Mortimer Name Suffix:<NSFX> Lord Of Wigmore
Hugh de Mortimer, being a person of a proud and turbulent spirit, opposed strenuously the accession of King Henry II upon the demise of Stephen, and induced Roger, Earl of Hereford, to fortify his castles of Gloucester and Hereford against the new monarch, himself doing the same with his castles of Cleobury, Wigmore, and Brugges (commonly called Bridgenorth). Whereupon Gilbert Foliot, at that time Bishop of Hereford, addressing himself to the Earl of Hereford, his kinsman, by fair persuasions soon brought him to peaceable submission. But Mortimer continuing obstinate, the king was forced to raise an army and, at the point of the sword, to being him to obedience. Between this rude baron and Joceas de Dynant, at that time Lord of Ludlow, existed a feud, carried to so fierce a pitch that Dynant could not pass safely out of his castle for fear of being taken by Mortimer's men, but it so happened that Mortimer, setting his spies to take all advantages of Dynant, was surprised himself and carried prisoner to Ludlow where he was detained until he paid a ransom of 3,000 marks of silver. He was oftentimes engaged against the Welsh and he erected some strong castles in Wales. He likewise finished the foundation of the abbey of Wigmore, begun by his father, and in his old age became a canon of that house. ~1055 Ralph De Mortimer Name Suffix:<NSFX> Lord Of Wigmore
accompanying the Duke of Normandy in his expedition against England, was one of his principal commanders at the decisive battle of Hastings; and shortly after, as the most puissant of the victor's captains, was sent into the marches of Wales to encounter Edric, Earl of Shrewsbury, who still resisted the Norman yoke. This nobleman, after much difficulty and a long siege in his castle of Wigmore, Mortimer subdued and delivered into the king's hands, when, as a reward for his good service, he obtained a grant of all Edric's estates and seated himself thenceforward at Wigmore. Independently of these great Welsh territorial possessions, Ralph Mortimer enjoyed, by the bounty of his royal master, sundry lordships and manors in other parts of the realm which he held at the time of the general survey. In the beginning of Rufus' reign, Mortimer took part with Curthose, but he subsequently changed sides and, being constituted general of the forces sent by King Henry I to oppose that prince in Normandy, he totally routed the enemy and brought Curthose prisoner to the king. ~1020 - >1078 Roger De Mortimer 58 58 Roger de Mortimer, deemed by some to have been son of William de Warren, and by others, of Walter de St. Martin, brother of that William, was founder of the abbey of St. Victor, in Normandy. "It is reported," says Dugdale, "that in the year 1054 (which was twelve years before the Norman Conquest), when Odo, brother of Henry, King of France, invaded the territory of Evreux, Duke William sent this Roger, then his general (with Robert, Earl of Ewe, and other stout soldiers), to resist his attempts; who meeting with Odo near to the castle of Mortimer, gave him battle, and obtained a glorious victory. It is further observable of this Roger that he was by consanguinity allied to the Norman duke (afterwards king, by the name of William the Conqueror), his mother being niece to Gunnora, wife of Richard, Duke of Normandy, great grandmother to the Conqueror." The presumed son of this Roger, Ralph de Mortimer, accompanying the Duke of Normandy in his expedition against England, was one of his principal commanders at the decisive battle of Hastings.

Llewelyn I ap Iorwerth (d. 1240), prince of north Wales, was born after the expulsion of his father, Iorwerth, from the principality. In 1194, Llewelyn recovered the paternal inheritance and by 1201 was the greatest prince in Wales. At first he was a friend of King John, whose illegitimate daughter, Joanna, he married in 1201; but the alliance soon fell through, and in 1211 John reduced Llewelyn to submission. In the next year Llewelyn recovered all his losses in north Wales. In 1215 he took Shrewsbury. His rising had been encouraged by the pope, by France and by the English barons. His rights were secured by special clauses in the Magna Carta. But he never desisted from his wars with the Marchers of south Wales, and in the early years of Henry III he was several times attacked by English armies. In 1234, however, a truce was concluded at Middle. In 1239 Llewelyn retired into a Cistercian monastery.

The existence of Offa's Dyke may well have deepened the self-awareness of the Welsh people, for, in the generation following its construction, kingdom was linked with kingdom with the result that the greater part of the inhabitants of Wales became the subjects of a single ruler. If the genealogies, almost the sole evidence for these developments, are reliable, it appears that it was through marriage rather than through conquest that the kingdoms of Wales were united. The heir of one kingdom married the heiress of another, although it is probable that there would have been fewer heiresses had there not been considerable slaughter among their male relations. A chain of marriages begins around 800 when Gwriad, of the lineage of the Men of the North, married Esyllt of the line of Maelgwn Fawr; their son, Merfyn, became king of Gwynedd in 825 on the death of Esyltt's uncle, Hywel ap Rhodri. Merfyn married Nest of the house of Powys, and their son, Rhodri, married Angharad of the house of Seisyllwg (Ceredigion and Ystrad Tywi). Rhodri became ruler of Gwynedd in 844 on the death of his father, of Powys in 855 on the death of his uncle, Cyngen, and of Seisyllwg in 871 on the death of his brother-in-law, Gwgon; he died in 877, king of a realm extending from Anglesey to Gower.

In 976 Brian became king of a small state, later called Dál Cais, and also king of Munster, whose Eóghanachta rulers had been defeated (964) by Brian's half brother. Brian destroyed first the Eóghanachta septs and then the Northmen, constructing a fleet to drive them from the Shannon. Under his rule Munster became a unified and powerful state. He invaded Ossory (983), won control of the southern half of Ireland from the high king Maelsechlainn II (997), replaced him as high king (1002), and in due course received the submission of every lesser ruler. The men of Leinster and the Northmen of Dublin united against him in 1013, enlisting help from abroad. The decisive battle at Clontarf, near Dublin, on April 23, 1014, found Brian too old to take active part, and the victory was won by his son Murchad. A little group of Northmen, flying from the battlefield, stumbled on Brian's tent, overcame his bodyguard, and hacked the aged Brian to death. His fame was so great that the princes descended from him, the O'Briens, subsequently ranked as one of the chief dynastic families of the country. ~1000 Maelcorre Of Leinster ~0920 - 1014 II Dunlaing 94 94 Name Suffix:<NSFX> King Of Leinster D. 1105 Owain "Vradwr" Ap Edwyn Name Suffix:<NSFX> Lord Of Tegaingl ~1024 Iwerydd Ferch Cynfyn ~1035 - 1071 Edwyn Of Tegeingl 36 36 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Earl Of Mercia 0975 - 1057 III Leofric 82 82 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Earl Of Mercia ~0996 Ednowain "Bendew" Ap Neiniad ~0968 Neiniad Ap Gwaethfoed Gwaethfoed Fawr Ap Gwrydr Name Suffix:<NSFX> Lord Of Cardigan

----------
In 1229, Dafydd went to London to do homage for the lands and rights he would inherit, and in the same year he married Isabella, the daughter of William de Breos. That was one of a series of marriages between Llywelyn's offspring and members of the great families of the March, for apart from Gruffudd, who married Senana, a descendant of Rhodri ab Owain Gwynedd, all Llywelyn's progeny married into the Francigenae. So great was the desire of the de Breos family to ally with the prince that the uncle, the brother and the daughter of William de Breos married members of the house of Aberffraw. Yet the relationship between the two families did not prevent Llywelyn from hanging William de Breos in 1230 for excessive familiarity with Joan. The hanging was an audacious act and the lack of reaction to it proof of the power of Llywelyn and of the intensity of the desire of William's sons-in-law to obtain their share of his possessions, for William was the last of his line of the de Breoses. The male line died out remarkably frequently among the families of the Marcher Lords and the marriages of co-heiresses played a key role in the dismemberment of the empires of their fathers.

William de Braose inherited the large estates of his grandmother, Berta de Gloucester, and besides possessed the Honour of Braose, in Normandy. This feudal lord was a personage of great power and influence during the reigns of Henry II and Richard I, from the former of whom he obtained a grant of the "whole kingdom of Limeric, in Ireland," for the service of sixty knight's fees, to be held of the king and his younger son, John. For several years after this period, he appears to have enjoyed the favour of King John and his power and possessions were augmented by divers grants from the crown. In the 10th of the king's reign [1209], when the kingdom laboured under an interdiction and John deemed it expedient to demand hostages from his barons to ensure their allegiance should the Pope proceed to the length of absolving them from obedience to the crown, his officers who came upon the mission to the Baron de Braose were met by Maud, his wife, and peremptorily informed that she would not entrust any of her children to the king, who had so basely murdered his own nephew, Prince Arthur. De Braose rebuked her for speaking thus, however, and said that if he had in anything offended the king, he was ready to make satisfaction according to the judgment of the court and the barons, his peers, upon an appointed day and at any fixed place without, however, giving hostages. This answer being communicated to the king, an order was immediately transmitted to seize upon the baron's person, but Braose having notice thereof fled with his family into Ireland.
This quarrel between De Braose and King John is, however, differently related by other authorities. The monk of Llanthony stated that King John disinherited and banished him for his cruelty to the Welsh in his war with Gwenwynwyn, and that his wife Maud and William, his son and heir, died prisoners in Corfe Castle. Another writer relates, "that this William de Braose, son of Philip de Braose, Lord of Buelt, held the lands of Brecknock and Went for the whole time of King Henry II, Richard I, and King John without any disturbance until he took to wife the Lady Maud de St. Walerie, who, in revenge of Henry de Hereford, cause divers Welshmen to be murthered in the castle of Bergavenny as they sat at meat; and that for this, and for some other pickt quarrel, King John banished him and all his out of England. Likewise, that in his exile, Maud his wife, with William, galled, Gam, his son, were taken and put into prison where she died the 10th year after her husband fought with Gwenwynwyn and slew three thousand Welch." From these various relations, says Dugdale, it is no easy matter to discover what his demerits were, but what usage he had at last, take here the credit of these two historians who lived near that time. "This year, viz. anno 1240," quoth Matthew of Westminster, "the noble lady Maud, wife of William de Braose, with William, their son and heir, were miserably famished at Windsor by the command of King John; and William, her husband, escaping from Scorham, put himself into the habit of a beggar and, privately getting beyond sea, died soon after at Paris, where he had burial in the abbey of St. Victor." And Matthew Paris, putting his death in anno 1212 (which differs a little in time), says, "That he fled from Ireland to France and, dying at Ebula, his body was carried to Paris and there honourably buried in the abbey of St. Victor." "But after these great troubles in his later days," continues Dugdale, "I shall now say something of his pious works. Being by inheritance from his mother, Lord of Bergavenny, he made great grants to the monks of that priory, conditionally, that the abbot and convent of St. Vincent, in Maine (to which this priory of Bergavenny was a cell) should daily pray for the soul of him, the said William, and the soul of Maud, his wife."

The office of Marshal to the king was a hereditary perquisite of a middling Wiltshire family. The duties were various, but mainly they consisted of acting as second-in-command to the constable of the royal household, maintaining order in the palace and guarding it, looking after the stables, keeping the rolls of those who performed their military service, and checking the accounts of various household and state departments.
From this family came William Marshal, whose biography was written by his squire John of Earley so providing us with one of the deepest and most fascinating insights into the life of a great baron of the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries.
His father, John Marshal, whom the Gesta Stephani rather unkindly describes as 'a limb of hell and the root of all evil' was a man who loved warfare, and played the game of politics with great success. At first he supported Stephen but, when he began to realise the failings of the King and the potentialities of Matilda's party, he changed sides. Almost immediately he proved by a consummate act of bravery and hardihood, that he was worth having: escorting Matilda to safety in his castle at Ledgershall, John found that the party was going dangerously slowly because Matilda was riding side-saddle, so he persuaded her to ride astride, and stopped behind to delay the pursuers at Wherwell. His force was soon overpowered by the numbers of the enemy, and John took refuge with one of his knights in the Abbey. The opposing party promptly set fire to the church, and John and his knight had to take cover in the tower, John threatening to kill his knight if he made any move to surrender. As the lead of the roof began to melt and drop on the two soldiers, putting out one of John's eyes, the enemy moved off, convinced that they were dead. They escaped, in a terrible state, but triumphant, to John's castle.
He plainly expected his children to be as tough as himself, as an incident of the year 1152, when William was about six, will show. King Stephen went to besiege Newbury Castle, which Matilda had given John to defend; the castellan, realising that provisions and the garrison were both too low to stand a long siege, asked for a truce to inform his master. This was normal practice, for if the castellan were not at once relieved, he could then surrender without being held to have let his master down. Now John had not sufficient troops to relieve the castle, so he asked Stephen to extend the truce whilst he, in turn, informed his mistress, and agreed to give William as a hostage, promising not to provision and garrison the castle during the truce. This he promptly did, and when he received word from Stephen that the child would be hung if he did not at once surrender the castle, he cheerfully replied that he had hammer and anvils to forge a better child than William.
The child was taken out for execution, but at the last moment Stephen relented with that soft heart that was his undoing, and though his officers presented such enticing plans as catapulting William over the castle walls with a siege engine, he would not give in. Later on he grew attached to the child, and one day when William was playing an elementary form of conkers with the King, using plantains, the child saw a servant of his mother, the lady Sibile (sister of the Earl of Salisbury), peeping in to check up on his safety. William cried out a greeting and the servant had to run for his life. The child did not know what dangers he was running, but it was good and early training for his future career.
When he was thirteen William was sent to serve in the retinue of his father's cousin, the chamberlain of Normandy. This was his apprenticeship in knighthood, and was to last eight years. As a squire he would learn by experience all the skills of a knight, and the elaborate code of honour that went with it. After he had been knighted in 1167, he began to go round the tou ~1240 - 1296 Margrave Of Saluzzo Thomaso 56 56 ~1210 - 1244 III Manfredo 34 34 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Margrave Of Saluzzo ~1180 - 1212 Bonifacio De Saluzzo 32 32 ~1150 - Feb 1213-1214 Manfredo II De Saluzzo ~1035 - 1078 I Peter 43 43 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Count Of Savoy 1060 - 1130 I Bonifacio 70 70 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Marchese Di Savona Vasto ~1040 - 1064 II Teto 24 24 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Marchese Di Savona Vasto ~1020 - ~1062 II Oberto 42 42 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Marchese Di Savona And Liguria ~0995 - ~1035 I Oberto 40 40 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Lord Of Savona, Marchese Of Liguria ~0970 - <1014 I Anselm 44 44 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Marchese Di Savona ~0940 Marchese Di Liguria Aleram Name Suffix:<NSFX> Count Of Savona

Oberto I (d. Oct. 15, 975), marquis of eastern Liguria and count of Luni, powerful feudal lord of 10th-century Italy under King Berengar II and the Holy Roman emperor Otto I. His descendants, the Obertenghi, founded several famous Italian feudal clans.
Oberto was of a family that apparently arrived in Italy in the 9th century with Charlemagne, perhaps from Bavaria. Oberto acquired Genoa and Luni (east of Genoa) in 951, when Berengar seized Liguria and gave the eastern section to Oberto. Nine years later Oberto, dissatisfied with Berengar's rule, went to Germany with the bishop of Como and the archbishop of Milan to ask Otto to intervene in Italy. After Otto's conquest and coronation as Holy Roman emperor (962), he made Oberto count palatine, second only to himself in Italy. Four great families, the Este, Malaspina, Pallavicini, and Massa Parodi, are believed to have descended from Oberto's sons. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97]
----------
HOUSE OF ESTE, princely family of Lombard origin that played a great part in the history of medieval and Renaissance Italy. It first came to the front in the wars between the Guelfs and Ghibellines during the 13th century. As leaders of the Guelfs, Estensi princes received at different times Ferrara, Modena, Reggio, and other fiefs and territories. Members of the family ruled in Ferrara from the 13th through 16th century and in Modena and Reggio from the later Middle Ages to the end of the 18th century.
Origins.
The Estensi were a branch of the great 10th-century dynasty of the Obertenghi, which held power and wealth in Lunigiana, Genoa, and Milan and which also gave rise to the feudal houses of the Malaspina, the Pallavicini, and the margraves of Massa and Parodi. Subsequently, after various vicissitudes, the members of the Obertenghi dynasty removed to the lands of the Venetians, where they had estates at Este, Monselice, Rovigo, and Friuli. The Estensi took their name from the township and castle of Este, 17 miles (27 kilometres) southwest of Padua, and the true founder of the family was the margrave Alberto Azzo II (died 1097). From his son Welf IV, duke of Bavaria, there began a related branch that gave origin to the dukes of Bavaria, Brunswick, and Lüneburg, as well as the electors of Hanover. Another son, Ugo, tried without success to establish in France, while a third son, Folco I (died c. 1136), became second in line in the House of Este. Neither he nor his successor, Obizzo I (died 1193), however, achieved any great distinction, beyond the offices and titles that fell naturally to the upper feudal families; but it was during the lifetime of Obizzo I that the Estensi first acquired political importance in Ferrara, through the marriage of his son (Azzo V, who predeceased him) to the heiress of one of the two great and rival families of Ferrara. Obizzo was succeeded by his grandson, Azzo VI, who acquired considerable authority in the city, though his premature death in 1212 left the family temporarily weakened. Not until 1240 did a descendant, Azzo VII, return to power in the city, in alliance with the Guelf league formed by Pope Gregory IX. This marked the true beginning of Este rule in Ferrara.
Lords of Ferrara.
In 1264 Azzo's heir, Obizzo II (1264-93), was created perpetual lord by the people of Ferrara under the pressure of Guelf strength. The Pope, lawful lord of the Ferrarese territory, at first did not oppose this action but afterward began to contest the Estensi government. Obizzo II's power was growing, however, and he had himself chosen lord of Modena in 1288 and of Reggio in 1289. In the 14th century the house of Este went through difficult, stormy periods, not only because of its controversies with the papacy but also because of domestic dissensions, sometimes very hazardous. The house succeeded, nevertheless, in strengthening its position, and, under Nicolò II (reigned 1361-88), called the Lame, there was built the famous Este Ca >0900 - Bet 950 and 960 III Adalbert Name Suffix:<NSFX> Margrave Of Tuscany ~0890 - Bet 928 and 929 Count Of Lucca Gui ~0860 - 17 Aug 915 Adalbert II "The Rich Name Suffix:<NSFX> " Count Of Lucca ~0860 UNKNOWN Theophylactus ~0925 - 1012 Guilla Of Spoleto 87 87 ~0895 - 0928 I Bonifacio 33 33 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Duke Of Spoleto ~1020 Beatrice Di Romagnano ~1000 - >1064 Marchese Di Romagnano Odelrico 64 64 ~0980 - >1026 Marchese Of The House Of Torino Alberaza Guido 46 46 ~0960 - 1026 IV Ardoino 66 66 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Marchese D. >0976 Ardvino "Il Glabro Name Suffix:<NSFX> " Marchese Of Turino

Humbert, whose origins are surrounded by controversy but who may have been the son of the semilegendary hero Bérold of Saxony, ally of King Rudolf III of Burgundy, made his appearance in history when Rudolf died in 1032, leaving his domains to Conrad II. Already holder of extensive territories commanding the Little St. Bernard Pass, Humbert also gained control of the Great St. Bernard Pass and the northern approach to the Simplon Pass as a result of family connections and through his alliance with Conrad, who wanted the Alpine routes in friendly hands. In 1033 he led troops of Archbishop Heribert of Milan and Margrave Boniface of Tuscany, defending Conrad's inheritance against Eudes (Odo) of Champagne, whom he pursued into Lorraine, defeated, and killed. When Everard, bishop of the neighbouring region of Maurienne, bordering on the northern approach to the Mont-Cenis pass, refused to pay homage to Conrad, Humbert seized and burned the city of Saint-Jean de Maurienne in 1035. Rewarded with new territories, Humbert, as Conrad's most faithful vassal, exercised power over lands that sealed Lombardy off from France while making it accessible to the Emperor.

Under Leopold III (1095-1136) the history of the Babenbergs reached its first culmination point. In the struggle between emperor and pope, Leopold avoided taking sides until a consensus had built up among the German princes that it was Emperor Henry IV who stood in the way of a final settlement. Then Leopold did not hesitate to side with Henry's rebellious son, Henry V (1106). For this he was rewarded with the hand of Henry V's sister Agnes, who had formerly been married to the Hohenstaufen Frederick I of Swabia. The intermarriage with the reigning dynasty not only increased Leopold's reputation but no doubt also brought him additional power. Leopold was even proposed as a candidate to the royal throne, but he declined. It was apparently his intention to concentrate on consolidating his position in Austria. He was the first Austrian margrave to describe himself as the holder of territorial principality (principatus terrae), and during his time Austrian common law is mentioned for the first time, another proof of the developing national consciousness.
Leopold's reputation with the clergy was high, and he was eventually canonized (1485). He gave generous endowments to religious communities, establishing the Cistercians at Heiligenkreuz, and he founded, or at least restored, the monastery of Klosterneuburg, which he gave to Augustinian canons. In Klosterneuburg he built a residence in which he stayed even after he had acquired Vienna.
On the death of Leopold III, the Babenbergs were drawn into a conflict between the two leading dynasties of Germany, the Hohenstaufen and the Welfs--on the side of the Hohenstaufen because of their family ties.

In 985, the emperor Otto III bestowed the office of margrave upon Ekkard I, margrave of Merseburg, and the district comprising the marks of Meissen, Merseburg and Zeitz was generally known as the marks of Meissen. ~0926 - 19 Jul 982 Gunter Von Merseburg Name Suffix:<NSFX> Margrave Of Merseburg ~0896 - 6 Sep 954 II Eckhard Name Suffix:<NSFX> Count In Thuringia ~0866 - 17 May 925 Count In Thuringia Gunther ~0836 - 2 Jun 871 I Eckhard Name Suffix:<NSFX> Count In Thuringia ~0937 - 0977 Dubrawka Of Bohemia 40 40 ~0908 - 15 Jul 972 Boleslaw I "The Cruel Name Suffix:<NSFX> " Duke Of Bohemia

After instigating the murder of his elder brother, Prince Wenceslas I (St. Wenceslas), Boleslav became ruler of Bohemia. He made Prague the effective administrative centre of his domain, promoted the spread of Christianity, and added the territories of Moravia, Slovakia, and Silesia to his domain. After being attacked by the Holy Roman emperor Otto I (950), he was forced to recognize the German king as his suzerain. His feudal ties remained largely formal, however, and Bohemia was able to retain its autonomy. Several years later, Boleslav cooperated with Otto in combating the invasion of the Magyars and directed a Bohemian contingent against them at the Battle of Lechfeld (955).

Sept. 15, 921, Tetin Castle, near Podébrady; feast day September 16), Slavic martyr and patron of Bohemia, where she pioneered in establishing Christianity. She was grandmother of St. Wenceslas, the future prince of Bohemia.
Ludmila married Borivoj, the first Czech prince to adopt Christianity. After their baptism by Archbishop St. Methodius of Sirmium, apostle of the Slavs, they built Bohemia's first Christian church, near Prague. Borivoj tried to induce his people to accept Christianity, but he was unsuccessful. After Borivoj died, Borivoj and Ludmila's son, Ratislav, married Drahomíra, Wenceslas' mother.
Entrusted with the care of Wenceslas, Ludmila brought him up as a Christian. After Ratislav's death, Bohemia was administered by anti-Christians, who opposed Ludmila and resented her influence over Wenceslas, whom she urged to take over the government and to maintain Christianity. Wenceslas' ascension to the throne about 921 worsened Ludmila's relations with the opposing party, particularly with Drahomíra, who, as regent, favoured the pagans. An ensuing feud between Ludmila and Drahomíra ended when agents entered Tetin Castle and strangled Ludmila, a deed that has traditionally been ascribed to Drahomíra's instigation.
Oral tradition honoured Ludmila with martyrdom. Soon the first legends arose--a "prologue on St. Ludmila" in Church Slavonic and a Latin life based on it. The best-known legend is the 10th-century Latin life of Wenceslas and Ludmila written by the monk Christian. J. Pekar's Die Wenzels und Ludmila-Legenden und die Echtheit Christians ("The Legends of Wenceslas and Ludmila and the Authenticity of Christian") appeared in 1906.

Note:
Henry IV (b. Nov. 11, 1050, Goslar?, Saxony--d. Aug. 7, 1106, Liège, Lorraine), duke of Bavaria (as Henry VIII, 1055-61), German king (from 1054), and Holy Roman emperor (1084-1105/06), who engaged in a long struggle with Hildebrand (Pope Gregory VII) on the question of lay investiture, eventually drawing excommunication on himself and doing penance at Canossa (1077). His last years were spent countering the rebellion of his sons Conrad and Henry (the future Henry V).
Early years.
Henry's father, Henry III, had retained a firm hold on the church and had resolved a schism in Rome (1046), opening new activities for the reformers. At Easter 1051, the boy was baptized after the German princes had taken an oath of fidelity and obedience at Christmas 1050. On July 17, 1053, he was elected king at Tribur (modern Trebur, in Germany) on condition that he would be a just king. In 1054 he was crowned king in Aix-la-Chapelle (modern Aachen, in Germany), and the following year he became engaged to Bertha, daughter of the Margrave of Turin. When the Emperor died in October 1056, at the age of 39, succession to the throne and survival of the dynasty were assured. The princes of the realm raised no objection when nominal government was handed over to the six-year-old boy, for whom his pious and unworldly mother became regent. Yet the early death of Henry III was the beginning of a fateful change that marked all of his son's reign. In his will, the late emperor had appointed Pope Victor II as counsellor to the Empress, and the Pope solved some of the conflicts between the princes and the imperial court that had endangered peace in the empire.
After Victor's early death (1057), however, the politically inept empress committed a number of decisive mistakes. On her own, and without the benefit of the advice of a permanent group of counsellors, she readily yielded to various influences. She turned over the duchy of Bavaria, which Henry III had given to his son in 1055, to the Saxon count Otto of Nordheim, thus depriving the king of an important foundation of his power. She gave the duchy of Swabia to Count Rudolf of Rheinfelden--who married her daughter--and the duchy of Carinthia to Count Berthold of Zähringen; both of them eventually became opponents of Henry IV. The death of the Emperor also marked the disruption of German influence in Italy and of the close relationship between the king and the reform popes. Their independence soon became apparent in the elections of Stephen IX and Nicholas II, which were not influenced (as under Henry III) by the German court; in the new procedure for the election of the popes (1059); and in the defensive alliance with the Normans in southern Italy. This alliance was necessary for the popes as an effective protection against the Romans and was not directed against the German king. Yet the Normans were considered usurpers and enemies of the Holy Roman Empire; the pact thus resulted in strained relations between the Pope and the German court, and these strains were aggravated by papal claims and disciplinary action taken by Nicholas II against German bishops. While the German king had so far been known as a supporter of the reformers, the Empress now imprudently entered into an alliance with Italian opponents of church reform and brought about the election of Cadalus, bishop of Parma, as antipope (Honorius II) against the reigning pope, Alexander II, who had been elected by the reformers. But since she did not give effective support to Honorius, Alexander was able to prevail. Her unwise church policy was matched by an obscurely motivated submissive policy at home, which, by unwarranted cession of holdings of the crown, weakened the material foundations of the king's power an 1017 - 1056 Henry III "The Black 38 38 Name Suffix:<NSFX> " King Of Germany

Henry III (b. Oct. 28, 1017--d. Oct. 5, 1056, Pfalz Bodfeld, near Goslar, Saxony), duke of Bavaria (as Henry VI, 1027-41), duke of Swabia (as Henry I, 1038-45), German king (from 1039), and Holy Roman emperor (1046-56), member of the Salian dynasty. He was a powerful advocate of the Cluniac reform movement that sought to purify the Western Church in the 11th century, the last emperor able to dominate the papacy.
Youth and marriage.
Henry was the son of the emperor Conrad II and Gisela of Swabia. He was more thoroughly trained for his office than almost any other crown prince before or after. With the Emperor's approval, Gisela had taken charge of his upbringing, and she saw to it that he was educated by a number of tutors and acquired an interest in literature.
In 1036 Henry married Gunhilda (Kunigunde), the young daughter of King Canute of England, Denmark, and Sweden. Because her father had died shortly before, the union with this frail and ailing girl brought with it no political advantages. She died in 1038, and the emperor Conrad died the following year.
His 22-year-old successor as German king resembled him in appearance. From his mother Henry inherited much, especially her strong inclination to piety and church services. His accession to the throne, unlike that of his two predecessors, did not lead to civic unrest, but his reign was burdensome from the beginning. Probably over questions of principle, the self-willed emperor quarrelled with the aging Gisela during her last years.
He devoted his energies above all to the contemporary movement to bring an end to war among Christian princes, although his own policies were not always pacific. In possession of the duchies of Franconia, Bavaria, Swabia, and Carinthia, he had attempted to carry on his father's policy of supremacy in the east and, in fact, attained sovereignty over Bohemia and Moravia.
It may have been at this time that Henry, prematurely believing he had reached the zenith of his power, displayed openly, as if it were a matter of governmental policy, his leanings toward the clerical-reform party. Intending to re-create a theocratic age like that of Charlemagne, he failed to realize that this could be done only as long as the papacy was powerless.
Still a childless widower, he married Agnes, the daughter of William V of Aquitaine and Poitou, in 1043. The match must have been intended primarily to cement peace in the west and to assure imperial sovereignty over Burgundy and Italy, and Agnes' total devotion to the church reform advocated by the Cluniac monasteries probably confirmed Henry in his decision to take her for his wife. In November 1050 she bore him a son, who later became the emperor Henry IV. There followed another boy, Conrad, and three daughters. What Henry still lacked was the highest honour--his coronation as emperor at the hands of the pope.
Control of the papacy.
When Henry reached Rome in 1046, three rivals were claiming the papacy. Henry wanted a pacified Italy, in which German supremacy was uncontested, and he wanted to receive the imperial crown from unsullied hands. He convoked a synod at Sutri, which, at his bidding, elected as the new pope a German, Suidger, bishop of Bamberg, who was inaugurated as Clement II. On the same day the new pope crowned the imperial couple.
Rome became an imperial city, and the control over the church--i.e., the decisive vote in future conclaves--passed into the hands of the German king. In succeeding years Henry made use of this right to appoint a pope three more times. When the Normans were beginning their conquest of Calabria, Henry did not intervene to any extent in southern Italy; instead he left this problem to Pope Leo  ~0990 - 1039 Conrad II "The Salic 49 49 Name Suffix:<NSFX> " King Of Germany

Conrad II (b. c. 990--d. June 4, 1039, Utrecht, Ger., Holy Roman Empire), German king (1024-39) and Holy Roman emperor (1027-39), founder of the Salian dynasty. During his reign, he proved that the German monarchy had become a viable institution. Since the survival of the monarchy was no longer primarily dependent on a compact between sovereign and territorial nobles, it was henceforth invulnerable to prolonged rebellion on their part.
Conrad was the son of Count Henry of Speyer, who had been passed over in his inheritances in favour of a younger brother. Henry was descended, through the marriage of his great-grandfather Conrad the Red to a daughter of Emperor Otto, from the Saxon house. Left poor, Conrad was brought up by the Bishop of Worms and did not receive much of a formal education; but, conscious of the deprivations suffered by him and his father, he matured early. Prudent and firm, he often displayed great chivalry as well as a strong sense of justice, and he was determined to gain the status that fortune had denied him. In 1016 he married Gisela, the widowed duchess of Swabia and a descendant of Charlemagne. Conrad, however, was distantly related to Gisela. When strict canonists took exception to the marriage, Emperor Henry II, who was jealous of the growth of Conrad's personal influence, used their findings as an excuse for forcing Conrad into temporary exile. The two men later became reconciled, and, by the time Henry II died, in 1024, Conrad presented himself to the electoral assembly of the princes at Kamba on the Rhine as a candidate for the succession. After prolonged debates, the majority voted for him, and he was crowned king in Mainz on Sept. 8, 1024.
Intelligent and genial, Conrad was also fortunate. Soon after his election, even the minority opposition was persuaded to pay their homage. Early in the following year, the sudden death of Boleslaw I the Brave of Poland, a tributary to the German monarchy who had styled himself an independent king, spared Conrad the necessity of military interference. In Germany a rebellion fomented by nobles and relatives of Conrad was joined by many lay princes of Lombardy; and, although the Italian bishops paid homage at a court in Constance in June 1025, the lay princes sought to elect William of Aquitaine as antiking. But, when the King of France refused his support, the rebellion collapsed. Early in 1026, Conrad was able to go to Milan, where Archbishop Ariberto crowned him king of Italy. After brief fighting, Conrad overcame the opposition of some towns and nobles and managed to reach Rome, where he was crowned emperor by Pope John XIX on Easter 1027. When a renewed rebellion in Germany forced him to return, he subdued the rebels and imposed severe penalties on them, not sparing members of his own family.
Conrad not only showed strength and incorruptible justice in maintaining his power but also displayed enterprise in legislation. He formally confirmed the popular legal traditions of Saxony and issued a new set of feudal constitutions for Lombardy. On Easter Sunday 1028, at an imperial court in Aachen, he had his son Henry elected and anointed king. In 1036 Henry was married to Kunigunde, the daughter of King Canute of England. Eventually, he became inseparable from his father and acted as his chief counsellor. Thus, the succession was virtually assured, and the future of the new house looked bright.
In the meantime, Conrad had been compelled, after all, to campaign against Poland in 1028. After severe fighting, Mieszko--Boleslaw's son and heir--was forced to make peace and surrender lands that Conrad's predecessor had lost.

Conrad, also called CONRAD THE RED, German KONRAD DER ROTE (d. Aug. 10, 955, near Augsburg, Ger.), duke of Lotharingia (Lorraine) from 944 to 953 and ancestor of the Salian dynasty of German kings.
Conrad belonged to a family of Franconian counts with rich lands in the country around Speyer and Worms. After helping King (later Emperor) Otto I suppress a rebellion of his vassals (937-939), he was given the duchy of Lotharingia (944) and Otto's daughter Liudgard in marriage. Later he fell out with the king and joined Otto's son Liudolf of Swabia in a rebellion (953-954). Forced to submit, Conrad lost his duchy but not his lands in Franconia or his vassals. Later reunited with the king, he fought and was killed in the Battle of Lechfeld, when the largest Hungarian army to invade German lands was destroyed. His services seem to have been decisive in securing this victory for Otto.

Edward, byname EDWARD THE ELDER (d. July 17, 924, Farndon on Dee, Eng.), Anglo-Saxon king in England, the son of Alfred the Great. As ruler of the West Saxons, or Wessex, from 899 to 924, Edward extended his authority over almost all of England by conquering areas that previously had been held by Danish invaders. Edward ascended the throne upon his father's death in October 899, and in a battle in 902 his forces killed a rival claimant, Aethelwald, who had allied with the Danes. After defeating the Northumbrian Danes at Tettenhall, he set out in August 912 to subdue the Danes of the eastern Midlands and East Anglia. From 910 to 916 he constructed a series of fortified enclosures around his Kingdom of Wessex. At the same time, his sister, the Mercian ruler Aethelflaed, constructed a complementary series of fortresses in the northwest Midlands. In 917 Edward and Aethelflaed launched a massive offensive, quickly overwhelming the entire Danish army of East Anglia. Upon Aethelflaed's death in June 918, Edward assumed control of Mercia, and by the end of the year the last Danish armies in the Midlands had submitted. By that time Edward's kingdom included all the land south of the Humber estuary; in 920 he pacified Northumbria.

Some historians make her the daughter of the emperor Romanus II and Theophano, who had been an innkeeper's daughter. Others maintain that is it only certain that she was the niece of John Tzimisces, who assassinated the emperor Nicephorus II in 969 and became emperor himself.

In 751, with the support of the Pope, Pepin cut off Childeric's long hair, the mark of his kingship, and sent him to a monastery, arrogating to himself the royal power. He was an active ruler, imposing peace on his border-lands, and twice descending on Italy to protect the Pope from the Lombards, giving to him the duchy of Rome as his own state in the bargain.
In 768 Charlemagne and his brother Carloman succeeded to the joint rule of the Franks, but three years later Carloman died, and Charlemagne ruled supreme. He was as active as his father in defending and expanding his territories. In 773, when the Lombards were again putting pressure on the Pope, he crossed the Alps with astonishing speed and defeated the Lombards absolutely, putting their king in a monastery (now a family habit) and assuming the 'Iron' Crown of Lombardy himself.
He now began a systematic campaign to conquer the Saxons, and ten years of the most bitter fighting ensued. The Saxons discovered an able leader in Widukind, and in 782, managed to wipe out a substantial army of Franks. Charlemagne had 4,500 Saxons beheaded at Verden in retribution, and went on to celebrate 'The Nativity of Our Lord and Easter as he was wont to do,' says Einhard, his biographer. It took nearly three years to find Widukind, and he was then baptized---a clear declaration of submission; the rest of the Saxons gave little trouble in taking baptism, or obeying their new Frankish masters---they remembered Verden.
A feudal vassal of Charlemagne who should have learned a lesson from this was Duke Tassilo of Bavaria, but he preferred to behave as if he were independent of his overlord. Charlemagne gave him one chance to reform, but then found that he was plotting with his enemies, so in 788 he too was put into a monastery, and Bavaria was incorporated into the fast growing empire.
In Spain he was not so successful: he had been forced to call off his invasion in 778, for his troops were needed elsewhere, and anyway the Muslims turned out to be not as disunited as he had been told; it was in this retreat that Roland died. But in 793 the Muslims attacked over his borders, so he set up an enclave on the southern side of the Pyrenees to guard the area.
He now turned his attention to the Avars, relations of the Huns, who lived in the area of the middle Danube, and were phenomenally rich with tribute-money they had wrung from the Byzantine Emperors. Peaceful negotiations had failed to keep them from raiding Charlemagne's lands, and so he set out to conquer them. It was as hard a war as that against the Saxons, lasting from 791-9, and Charlemagne was wise to distribute the loot he gained from it to his war-weary people instead of keeping it for himself.
Since 476 there had been no Emperor in the West, and until recently the Popes had looked to the Byzantine Emperors for protection. In 800 the Pope was set upon and deposed, and Charlemagne had to go do to Rome to restore him. On Christmas Day of that year he was praying in St. Peter's when the Pope came up and crowned him as Emperor, taking him 'unawares.' Historians wrangle over the coronation of Charlemagne, and the results of their searches read like detective stories. Suffice it to say that Charlemagne must have known what was going to happen, but he was rather disturbed about the whole thing afterwards; possibly he was upset at not having the fiat of the Emperor of the East, though a woman was reigning there at the time, possibly he felt the Pope had arrogated to himself too great a part in the coronation. Certainly he kept a very healthy respect for the Byzantine Empire, though he was not a man to fear another's power: he had good relations with Haroun-al-Rashid, the Caliph of Baghdad, who sent him a white elephant, and arranged protection for pilgrims visiting Jerusalem, in the heart of Musl ~1150 - 1216 III Comita 66 66 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Judge Of Torres ~1120 II Barisone Name Suffix:<NSFX> Judge Of Torres ~1090 Judge Of Torres Gunario ~1060 - ~1127 I Constantine 67 67 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Judge Of Torres ~1030 II Mariano Name Suffix:<NSFX> Judge Of Torres ~1000 Judge Of Gallura Andrea ~0970 I Barisone Name Suffix:<NSFX> Judge Of Sardinia Susanna Of Gunale Still Living.

Under Humbert II (1080) occurred the first clash of the House of Savoy with the Piedmontese communes, but he and his successors, Amadeus III (who died on his way home from the crusades) and Thomas I (1189), adopted a policy of conciliation towards them. Thomas, who reigned until 1222, acquired extensions of territory in the Bugey, Vaud and Romont to the west of the Alps, and Carignano, Pinerolo, Moncalieri and Vigone to the east; he also exercised sway over Geneva, Albenga, Savona and Saluzzo. At his death, these territories were divided among his sons, Thomas II obtaining Piedmont, Aimone the Chablais, Peter and Philip other fiefs, and Amadeus IV, the eldest, Savoy and a general overlordship over his brothers' estates. Thomas II, during the wars in Piedmont, was made prisoner by the citizens of Turin, but was afterwards liberated.

Edgar Atheling was the son of Edward the Exile and so the grandson of Edmund Ironside and great-grandson of Ethelred the Unready. There is some evidence that Edward the Confessor, his great uncle, intended Edgar to succeed him as king of England in 1066. After the death of Harold II at Hastings he was chosen as king by the remaining English magnates in London, but was soon forced to submit to the victorious William of Normandy. For the rest of his career, Edgar fulfilled the frustrating and ultimately barren existence suggested by his cognomen: an atheling was a member of a noble or royal family with a claim to the throne. By virtue of his position as the male heir of the House of Wessex, Edgar enjoyed patronage and hostility beyond his deserts, by turns an exile and a boon companion to the great. A rootless, restless, charming and feckless man, he had the personal qualities to attract supporters and lead troops, but neither the experience nor aptitude for political success. His career was a wheel of fortune which never reached the top. Initially accepted at William I's court, Edgar, with the rest of his family, fled to Scotland in 1068, where his sister Margaret married King Malcolm III. After the Treaty of Abernethy (1072) between Malcolm and William I, Edgar was again on his travels, to Flanders and France, where Philip I hoped to use him to foment trouble against William. Soon reconciled with William, Edgar received some small estates in England, a place at court, a pension of £1 day (which he casually exchanged for a horse) as the price of political emasculation. During this period, Edgar may have formed his attachment to Robert Curthose, whose character and career matched his so well. In 1086, Edgar was allowed to raise a force of two hundred knights to fight in sourthern Italy. On his return he was established with lands in Normandy where Curthose was now duke (1087), only to be expelled from them in 1091 as part of a treaty between Curthose and his brother William II, who evidently found Edgar's independence as unsettling as had his father. However, Edgar's Scottish connections proved useful to William Rufus in his attempts to destroy the hostile regime of King Donaldbane (1094-7), and in 1097 Edgar was put at the head of an English-sponsored invasion of Scotland which placed Edgar's nephew, also called Edgar, on the Scottish throne. Despite his family's hold on Scotland and Henry I of England's marriage to his niece, Matilda (1100), he, and Robert FitzGodwine, one of his English supporters who had been with him in Scotland, went to the newly captured Holy Land. Back in Europe, Edgar once more found himself on the losing side when he supported Curthose at the Battle of Tinchebrai (1106). Thereafter, Edgar lingered on in obscurity, a relic of an increasingly irrelevant past, a curiosity, perhaps, to a generation in which Edgar's freelance adventurism had little or no place. 1016 - 1057 Edward "The Exile" 41 41 Name Suffix:<NSFX> " Prince Of England

Edmund II, byname EDMUND IRONSIDE (b. c. 993--d. Nov. 30, 1016), king of the English from April 23 to Nov. 30, 1016, surnamed "Ironside" for his staunch resistance to a massive invasion led by the Danish king Canute.
The son of King Ethelred II the Unready (reigned 978-1016), Edmund defied his father's orders by marrying (1015) the widow of one of the Danish lords then occupying English territory. Nevertheless, when Canute invaded England later in 1015, Edmund raised an army in northern England and ravaged regions that would not rally to his cause.
Upon Ethelred's death (April 1016), a small number of councillors and citizens of London proclaimed Edmund as their ruler, but a larger body of nobles at Southampton declared for Canute. Edmund then launched a series of offensives against his rival. He recovered Wessex and relieved London of a siege before being decisively defeated by Canute at Ashington, Essex, on October 18. In the ensuing peace settlement, Edmund retained Wessex, while Canute held the lands north of the River Thames. After Edmund died (probably of natural causes), Canute became sole ruler of England.

Name Suffix:<NSFX> "The Unready", King Of England
AETHELRED II or ETHELRED (c. 968-1016), king of the English (surnamed THE UNREADY; i.e., without "rede" or counsel), son of King Edgar by his second wife, Aelfthryth, was born in 968 or 969 and succeeded to the throne on the murder of his half-brother Edward (the Martyr) in 978. In the year after his accession the Danish invasions recommenced, though as yet their object was plunder only, not conquest. Aethelred's policy of buying off the raiders failed, and the massacre of the Danes in England carried out by his orders on St. Brice's Day (Nov. 13, 1002) only made matters worse. Next year Sweyn returned, his hostility fanned by the desire for revenge. For two years he ravaged and slew; in 1003 Exeter was destroyed; Norwich and Thetford were sacked in 1004. No effectual resistance was offered, despite efforts here and there; disorganization of the country was complete. In 1005 the Danes were absent in Denmark, but they came back next year, and emboldened by the utter lack of resistance, they ranged far inland. In 1007 Aethelred bought them off for a larger sum than ever (£36,000], and for two years the land enjoyed peace. In 1009, however, in accordance with a resolution made by the witan in the preceding year, Aethelred collected such a fleet "as never before had been in England in any king's day"; but owing to a miserable court quarrel the effort came to nothing. The king then summoned a general levy of the nation, with no better result. Just as he was about the attack, the traitor Edric prevented him from doing so, and the opportunity was lost. In 1010 the Danes returned, to find the kingdom more utterly disorganized than ever. "There was not a chief man in the kingdom who could gather a force, but each fled as he best might; nor even at last would any there resist another." Incapable of offering resistance, the king again offered money, this time no less than £48,000. While it was being collected, the Danes sacked Canterbury and slew the archbishop Alphege. The tribute was paid soon afterwards; and at out the same time the Danish leader Thurkill entered the English service.
From 1013 an important change is discernible in the character of the Danish attacks, which now became definitely political in their aim. In this year Sweyn sailed up the Trent and received the submission of northern England, and then, marching south, attacked London. Failing to take it, he hastened west and at Bath received the submission of Wessex. Then he turned northwards, and after that "all the nation considered him as full king." London soon acknowledged him, and Aethelred was recalled by the witan. At once he hastened north against Canute, Sweyn's son, but Canute sailed away, only to return next year, when the traitor Edric joined him and Wessex submitted. Canute and Edric harried Mercia, and were preparing to reduce London, when Aethelred died there on April 23, 1016. Weak, self-indulgent, improvident, he had pursued a policy of opportunism to a fatal conclusion.
Aethelred's wife was Emma, or Aelfgifu, daughter of Richard I the Fearless, duke of the Normans, whom he married not later than 985. After the king's death Emma married Catute the Great, and after his death in 1035 she struggled hard to secure England for her son, Hardicanute. In 1037, however, when Harold Harefoot became sole king, she was banished; she went to Flanders, returning to England with Hardicanute in 1040. In 1043 Edward the Confessor seized the greater part of Emma's great wealth, and the queen lived in retirement at Winchester until her death on March 6, 1052. By Aethelred Emma had two sons, Edward the Confessor and the aetheling Aelfred (3. 1036), and by Canute she was the mother of Hardicanute. Her marriage with Aethelred was an important step in the history of the relations between England and Normandy, and J. R.

Event: Crowned 22 FEB 895/96 Holy Roman Emperor; by Pope Formosus, at St. Peter's, Rome 3
Note:
Arnulf, also called ARNULF OF CARINTHIA, German ARNULF VON KÄRNTEN (d. Dec. 8, 899), duke of Carinthia who deposed his uncle, the Holy Roman emperor Charles III the Fat, and became king of Germany, later briefly wearing the crown of the emperor.
Arnulf was the illegitimate son of Charles the Fat's eldest brother, Carloman, who was king of Bavaria. Arnulf inherited the march of Carinthia from his father but was excluded from the succession to the kingdom on Carloman's death. Arnulf maintained and consolidated his frontiers, though in constant tension with the Moravian kingdom of Svatopluk. In November 887, at Frankfurt, the East Frankish magnates revolted against the incompetent emperor Charles the Fat, who since 885 had ruled the reunited Carolingian empire. Arnulf was elected king of the East Franks, and Charles yielded without a struggle. The West Franks, Burgundy, and Italy refused to recognize Arnulf, however, and elected new kings from their own nobility. The Carolingian empire thus finally disintegrated.
Arnulf's base of operations remained in Bavaria, but he successfully defended his authority as German king in Lotharingia (now Lorraine), and he even maintained a loose feudal authority over the other kings. He was an energetic ruler whose suzerainty was acknowledged even by the sons of Svatopluk after their father's death in 894. In 891 Arnulf inflicted a crushing defeat on the Vikings at the Dyle River, north of Brussels, and their raids up the Rhine River consequently ended in 892. Arnulf also gave his son Zwentibold the crown of Lotharingia.
The king of Italy, Guy of Spoleto, had had himself crowned Holy Roman emperor by Pope Stephen V. In 893, after reluctantly crowning Guy's son, Lambert, as co-emperor, the new pope, Formosus, sought help against Guy from Arnulf, who accordingly invaded Italy in 894. Arnulf withdrew from Italy later that same year, but, after Guy's death in 894, Pope Formosus urged Arnulf to invade Italy once more. Crossing the Alps in October 895, Arnulf, although handicapped by bad weather, illness, and the absence of expected support from Berengar of Friuli, appeared before the walls of Rome. Rome fell, and in St. Peter's on Feb. 22, 896, Arnulf was crowned emperor by Formosus, who declared Lambert deposed. After a two-week stay in the city, Arnulf marched south to settle accounts with his rival at Spoleto, but en route he was suddenly taken ill and had to return to Bavaria where he died in Dec. 899, and was buried at Regensburg. Lambert remained emperor despite the pope's action.
The last three years of Arnulf's life, during which his illness continued, saw Germany invaded by Moravians and Hungarians, Lotharingia in revolt against Zwentibold, Italy lost, and France free of Arnulf's influence.

Note: Carloman (828-880), king of Bavaria and Italy, was the eldest son of Louis the German, king of the East Franks. He married a daughter of Ernest, count of the Bohemian mark, and in conjunction with his father-in-law resisted the authority of his father in 861 and 863. In 865 he was entrusted by Louis with a share in his authority, being granted jurisdiction over Bavaria and Carinthia. During the troubles between Louis and his two younger sons, Carloman remained faithful to his father and carried on the war with the Moravians so successfully that, when peace was made at Forchheim in 874, they recognized the Frankish supremacy. In 875 the Emperor Louis II died, having named his cousin Carloman, as his successor in Italy, but Pope John VIII preferred Charles II the Bald. In undisputed control of Bavaria, Carloman crossed the Alps to claim his inheritance, but was cajoled into returning by the king of the West Franks, Charles the Bald. In 876, on his father's death, Carloman became king of Bavaria. On the death of Charles the Bald (877), and after a short campaign against the Moravians, he went again to Italy in 877 and was crowned king of the Lombards at Pavia; but Pope John still refused him the imperial crown. Stricken with paralysis, he bequeathed the whole of his lands and titles to his brother Louis III, the Younger. Carloman died on Sept. 22, 880, at Öttingen, where he was buried. His illegitimate son Arnulf became emperor in 896. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97, CARLOMAN; Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1961 ed., Vol. 4, p. 877, CARLOMAN] D. 31 Jan 874-875 Emma Of Bavaria ~0804 - 28 Aug 876 Louis II "The German Name Suffix:<NSFX> " King Of The East Franks
Louis II, byname LOUIS THE GERMAN, German LUDWIG DER DEUTSCHE (b. c. 804, Aquitaine?, Fr.--d. Aug. 28, 876, Frankfurt), king of the East Franks, who ruled lands from which the German state later evolved, was the third son of the emperor Louis I. When the emperor divided his dominions between his sons in 817, Louis received Bavaria and the neighbouring lands, but did not undertake the government until 825, when he began to fight the Slavs on his eastern frontier. In 827 he married Emma, daughter of Welf I., count of Bavaria, and sister of his stepmother Judith. He interfered in the quarrels arising from Judith's efforts to secure a kingdom for her own son Charles, and the consequent struggles of Louis and his brothers with the emperor Louis I. When the elder Louis died in 840 and his eldest son Lothair claimed the whole Empire, Louis in alliance with his half-brother, king Charles the Bald, defeated Lothair at Fontenoy on June 25, 841. By the Treaty of Verdun (August 843), Charles, Lothair I, and Louis divided the western, middle, and eastern parts of the empire, respectively, between them. Louis received the bulk of the lands of the Carolingian empire lying east of the Rhine, including a district around Speyer, Worms and Mainz, Bavaria, where he made Regensburg the centre of his government, Thuringia, Franconia and Saxony.
Louis may truly be called the founder of the German kingdom, though his attempts to maintain the unity of the Empire proved futile. In 842 he crushed a rising in Saxony, compelled the Abotrites to own his authority, and undertook campaigns against the Bohemians, the Moravians, and other tribes. He did not succeed in freeing his shores from the ravages of Danish pirates. At his instance synods and assemblies were held where laws were decreed for the better government of church and state.
In 853 a group of nobles opposing Charles the Bald, then king of the West Franks, appealed to Louis for help; in 854 Louis sent his son Louis the Younger to Aquitaine, and in 858 went west himself to try to depose Charles. Treachery and desertion in his army, and the loyalty of the Aquitanian bishops to Charles, prevented success and Louis renounced his claim by a treaty signed at Coblenz on June 7, 860.
In 855 the emperor Lothair died, and was succeeded in Italy by his eldest son Louis II, and in the northern part of his kingdom [Lotharingia] by his second son, Lothair. The weakness of these kingdoms afforded opportunities for intrigue by Louis and Charles the Bald, whose interest was increased by the fact that both their nephews were without male issue. Louis support Lothair in his efforts to divorce his wife Teutberga, for which he received a promise of Alsace, but in 865 Louis and Charles renewed the peace of Coblenz, and doubtless discussed the possibility of dividing Lothair's kingdom. In 868 at Metz, they agreed definitely to a partition; but in 869, Louis was ill, and his armies were engaged with the Moravians. Although Louis the German supported Frankish Catholic missions in Moravia, he could not maintain control in that area and lost a war that led to the founding of Greater Moravia, and when Lothair died in 869, Charles the Bald accordingly seized the whole kingdom. Louis invaded Lotharingia (870), and the country was divided between Louis and Charles by the Treaty of Mersen (Meerssen), under which Louis received Friesland and an extremely large expansion of this territory west of the Rhine.
Louis in 865 and 872 divided his territories between his sons Carloman, Louis the Younger, and Charles III the Fat. Quarrels and discontent at the partitions led to revolts by Carloman in 861 and in 863; an example followed by the second son Louis, who in a further rising was joined by his brother Charles. A report that the emperor Louis II was dead lead to peace between father and sons.

John de Warren (Plantagenet), Earl of Warren and Surrey, was but five years of age at the time of his father's decease, and was placed in ward with Peter de Savoy, the Queen's brother. When he attained majority, he attached himself zealously to Henry III in his conflicts with the barons and maintained the cause of the king with his sword at the battle of Lewes. His lordship was a person of violent and imperious temper and was often betrayed into acts of great intemperance, as in the instance of assaulting Sir Alan Zouch and his son, Roger, in Westminster Hall, when he almost killed the one and wounded the other. And again, when Edward I issued the first writs of Quo Warranto, his lordship being questioned as to the title of his possessions, exhibited to the justices an old sword and unsheathing it said, "Behold my lords, here is my warranty; my ancestors coming into this land with William the Bastard, did obtain their lands by the sword, and I am resolved with the sword to defend them against whomsoever shall endeavour to dispossess me, but our progenitors were sharers and assistants therein." The earl was constituted, by King Edward, general of all his forces on the north of Trent for the better restraining the insolences of the Scots; whereupon he marched into Scotland and so terrified the inhabitants that they immediately sued for peace and gave hostages for their future good conduct. But the war soon after breaking out afresh, his lordship sustained a signal defeat at Strivelin where his troops fled first to Berwick, and thence into England. The earl m. 1st, 1247, Alice, dau. of Hugh le Brun, Count de la March, and half sister by the mother of King Henry III, and 2ndly, Joan, dau. of William, Lord Mowbray, and by the former only had issue, William, Alianore, and Isabel.

William de Warren (Plantagenet), Earl of Warren and Surrey, sided at the commencement of the contest between King John and the barons and for a long time thereafter with his royal kinsman, but eventually joined the banner of Lewis of France. On the death of King John, however, he returned to his allegiance and swore fealty to King Henry III, at the solemn nuptials of which monarch he had the honour of serving the king, at the banquet, with his royal cup in the Earl of Arundel's stead, who, being in minority, could not perform that office as he had not been girt with the sword of knighthood.

Count of Blois, Chartres and Tours
Note:
The countship of Blois appears at first to have been appointive, for under Robert the Strong (d. 866), duke of the entire region between the Seine and the Loire and ancestor of the French royal house of Capet, Blois was an appointive viscounty. About 940 the title of count was assumed by Thibaut I the Old, or the Cheat (d. c. 977), who founded the hereditary house of Blois. He enlarged his domain until it extended from the Indre to the Eure river.
From 987, when the accession of the Capetians to the French throne was firmly established, the counts of Blois were the king's immediate vassals; but they were also his most dangerous rivals. The immediate successors of Thibaut I continued to enlarge their domain, sometimes at the expense of the Capetians. ~0936 Count Of Mortagne Herve ~1026 Adela Of Domfront ~1120 Marguerite De Turenne ~0996 - 1026 Warin Of Domfront 30 30 D. >1005 Seigneur De Bellême Yves Titled Count of Alençon and Domfront 2

Henry I was born in the year 1068---a factor he himself regarded as highly significant, for he was the only son of the Conqueror born after the conquest of England, and to Henry this meant he was heir to the throne. He was not an attractive proposition: he was dissolute to a degree, producing at least a score of bastards; but far worse he was prone to sadistic cruelty---on one occasion, for example, personally punishing a rebellious burgher by throwing him from the walls of his town.
At the death of William the Conqueror, Henry was left no lands, merely 5,000 pounds of silver. With these he bought lands from his elder brother Robert Curthose, Duke of Normandy, only to see them taken back again a few years later by Robert, in unholy alliance with his brother William Rufus.
Henry could do little to avenge such treatment, but in England he found numerous barons who were tired of the exactions and ambitions of their king. He formed alliances with some of these, notably with the important De Clare family. He and some of the De Clares were with William Rufus on his last hunting expedition, and it is thought that the king's death was the result of Henry's plotting.
Certainly he moved fast to take advantage of it; leaving Rufus's body unattended in the woods, he swooped down on Winchester to take control of the treasury. Two days later he was in Westminster, being crowned by the Bishop of London. His speed is understandable when one realises that his elder brother, Robert [Curthose], was returning from the crusade, and claimed, with good reason, to be the true heir.
Henry showed great good sense in his first actions as King. He arrested Ranulph Flambard, William's tax-gatherer, and recalled Anselm, the exiled Archbishop. Furthermore, he issued a Charter of Liberties which promised speedy redress of grievances, and a return to the good government of the Conqueror. Putting aside for the moment his many mistresses, he married the sister of the King of Scots, who was descended from the royal line of Wessex; and lest the Norman barons should think him too pro-English in this action, he canged her name from Edith to Matilda. No one could claim that he did not aim to please.
In 1101 Robert Curthose invaded, but Henry met him at Alton, and persuaded him to go away again by promising him an annuity of £2,000. He had no intention of keeping up the payments, but the problem was temporarily solved.
He now felt strong enough to move against dissident barons who might give trouble in the future. Chief amongst these was the vicious Robert of Bellême, Earl of Shrewsbury, whom Henry had known for many years as a dangerous troublemaker. He set up a number of charges against him in the king's court, making it plain that if he appeared for trial he would be convicted and imprisoned. Thus Robert and his colleagues were forced into rebellion at a time not of their own choosing, were easily defeated and sent scuttling back to Normandy.
In Normandy Robert Curthose began to wreak his wrath on all connected with his brother, thus giving Henry an excellent chance to retaliate with charges of misgovernment and invade. He made two expeditions in 1104-5, before the great expedition of 1106 on which Robert was defeated at the hour-long battle of Tinchebrai, on the anniversary of Hastings. No one had expected such an easy victory, but Henry took advantage of the state of shock resulting from the battle to annex Normandy. Robert was imprisoned (in some comfort, it be said); he lived on for 28 more years, ending up in Cardiff castle whiling away the long hours learning Welsh. His son William Clito remained a free agent, to plague Henry for most of the rest of his reign.
In England the struggle with Anselm over the homage of bishops ran its course until the settlement of 1107. In matters of secular government life was more simple: Henry had found a brilliant administrator, Roger of Salisbury, to act as Justiciar for him.

In 1245 his lordship's mother died, and he then, upon giving security for payment of his relief, namely the sum of £100, and doing homage, had livery of the lands of her inheritance. In the 30th Henry III, he was one of the subscribing barons to the letter transmitted to the Pope complaining of the exactions of his holiness upon this realm, and he sat in the parliament 32nd Henry III, wherein the king was upbraided with his prodigal expenditure, and informed that neither his treasurer not chancellor had the confidence of their lordships. ~1164 - 1221 Robert De Vere 57 57 Name Suffix:<NSFX> 3rd Earl Of Oxford

Aubrey de Vere, for his fidelity to the Empress Maud, was confirmed by that princess in the office of Great Lord Chamberlain and all his father's territorial possessions. He had likewise other important grants with the Earldom of Cambridge, provided that dignity was not vested in the King of Scots, but if it were, then his lordship was to have his choice of the Earldoms of Oxford, Berkshire, Wiltshire, or Dorsetshire, all which grants being ratified by King Henry II, his lordship was created Earl of Oxford, with the usual grant to earls of the third penny of the please of the county. In the 12th King Henry II [1166], on the levy of the aid for portioning the king's daughter, the Earl of Oxford certified his knight's fees to be in number twenty-eight, for which he paid £20, and in the 2nd year of King Richard I [1191], he paid a fine of 500 marks to the king, "for the sister of Walter de Bolebec, to make a wife for his son." In four years afterwards his lordship contributed £30. 2s. 6d. for the knights' fees he then held, toward the sum of that time raised for the ransom of the king. ~1121 - >1163 Henry De Essex 42 42 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Lord Of Raleigh ~1120 - 1165 Hugh De Bolbec 45 45 ~1090 - >1136 Walter De Bolbec 46 46 ~1060 - >1086 Hugh De Bolbec 26 26 UNKNOWN Helawise Still Living. ~1231 - 1317 Alice De Saunford 86 86 ~1200 - >1273 Hawise De Quincy 73 73 ~1200 - 1250 Gilbert De Saunford 50 50 ~1427 - 1489 John Norton 62 62 1388 - 1438 Richard Norton 50 50 ~1360 - 1420 Richard Norton 60 60 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Kt. ~1330 Adam Norton ~1330 Alice Nunwicke ~1365 - 1431 Katherine Manningham 66 66 ~1415 Elizabeth Norton ~1431 - 1488 Jane Pigot 57 57 ~1399 - 1466 Randolph Pigot 67 67 ~1373 - ~1420 Geoffrey Pigot 47 47 ~1325 - ~1404 Randolph Pigot 79 79 ~1295 - 1347 Geoffrey Pigot 52 52 ~1265 Randolph Pigot Name Suffix:<NSFX> Kt ~1272 Emmade Clotheram ~1295 Johanna De Hawkswell ~1278 Thomas De Hawkswell ~1351 - 1420 Johanna De Swale 69 69 ~1321 William De Swale ~1373 Johanna De Leeds ~1342 Roger De Leeds ~1408 Margaret De Plumpton 1386 - 1416 Alice Foljambe 30 30 ~1367 - 1388 Godfrey Foljambe 21 21 Robert De Plumpton Name Suffix:<NSFX> Kt

In the reigns of Henry I [1100-1135] and King Stephen [1135-1154], Sir John Luttrell held, in capite, the manor of Hoton Pagnel, in Yorkshire, which vested in his male descendants until the time of Henry V, when it devolved upon an heiress, who espoused John Scott, feudal lord of Calverley, and steward of the household to the Empress Maud.
The estates of Sir Geoffrey Luttrell, knt. in the counties of Derby, Leicester, Nottingham, and York, were confiscated in the reign of Richard I [1189-1199] for his adhesion to John, Earl of Morton, but they were restored upon the accession of that prince to the throne as King John. Sir Geoffrey subsequent accompanied the king into Ireland and obtained from the crown a grant of Luttrellstown, in that kingdom. The descendants of Sir Geoffrey were afterwards feudal barons of Irnham. [John Burke, History of the Commoners of Great Britain and Ireland, Vol. I, R.

In the first of Edward III. (1327) he was present at the expedition then made into Scotland, and in the 3rd of same reign attended the King when he was summoned to do homage to the King of France for his duchy of Aquitaine. In the 4th year of same reign he again attended the King to France, and had also the honor to wait on his holiness the Pope with Bartholomew de Burgherth, as Edward's ambassador, to thank him for confirming a bull of his predecessor Honorius, in favor of the Monks of Westminster. But the best service, perhaps, which this brave man ever performed for his master, was his bringing the famous Mortimer Earl of March the Queen's gallant, to punishment *. A parliament being held the same year it was enacted that William lord Montacute and all others with him, at the apprehension of the Earl of March and others, since what they did was authorized by the King's command, should be---"wholly acquitted thereof and of all murders and felonies they have done." This act of indemnity was not only passed in his behalf, but many manors and lands forfeited, by the attainder of the Earl of March and others, were bestowed upon him.
* The lord Montacute, having laid before the young King the infamy which the course of the life of the Queen, his mother, had brought upon his family, and the dangers which Mortimer's greatness threatened to the Crown, met with a favorable hearing from his Majesty, who ordered him to associate himself with such of the nobility as be could trust, and then apply to Sir William Eland, Constable of the Castle of Nottingham, in which the Queen and Mortimer had shut themselves up for defence. As the Keys of the Castle were brought every night to the Queen and nobody permitted to come in or go out without her knowledge, Sir William Eland directed Montacute and his associates to a private passage, by which they entered the Castle and marched directly to Mortimer's apartment, where the lord Montacute before he could seize his prisoner, was forced to kill Sir Hugh Turplington, steward of the household, and Sir John Monmouth. Mortimer was then made prisoner and carried before the King, and a short time after he was with his chief friends and abettors put to death.
In the same year (1330) he was also appointed governor of Sherbourne Castle in the County of Dorset, and of the Castle of Corffe with the Chace of Purbeck.
In the 5th of Edward III. he had a charter of free warren in all his lordships of Cookham in County of Berkshire, Swyneston in County of Southampton, Fulmere in County of Bucks and of Catsound and Lewisham in Kent. Likewise wreck, waif, stray goods of felons and fugitives, with fines and forfeitures of his tenants in his manors of Christ-church, Twyneham, Ringwood, and Swyneston, in the Isle of Wight and County of Southampton. Next year he obtained for John, his son-in-law, a grant of the Castle of Werk, on condition of his fortifying it and keeping it in repair; and for himself a release of all his Majesty's claim, right and title, in the isle of Man, and its appurtenances for him and his heirs forever. In 1335 he was constituted governor of the Isles Guernsey, Jersey, Sark, Alderney, and Seul. In 1336 he was made Constable of the Tower of London, and in consideration of his great expenses in divers services obtained a grant of the forest of Selkirk and Ellerick, with the town and County of Selkirk in Scotland to hold in farm to him and his heirs. In the same year he also obtained a grant in fee of several manors, lands, and hundreds lying in the Counties Somerset, Dorset, Wilts, and Buckingham.
In 1337 he was constituted Admiral of the King's fleet, from the mouth of the Thames westward, and the following year in consideration of his faithful services in the Scottish wars, and otherwise, he was advanced to the title and dignity of Earl of Salisbury, with a grant of the annual rent of £20 out of the profits of that County.
The same ye 1279 - 1320 William De Montague 41 41 served in several expeditions into Scotland, both before and after his father's death, in the reigns of Edward I. and II. In the former he also received the honor of Knighthood, along with Edward prince of Wales; and in the second year of the latter, he obtained the royal charter for free warren at his manor of Aston Clinton in Buckinghamshire, as he did afterward for those of Saxlingham, in the County of Norfolk, Knolle in the County of Somerset, and Woneford in the County of Devon. In the same reign he was governor of Berhamstead Castle and steward of the King's household; and had a grant of the bodies and ransoms of Rene ap Grenon, Madock ap Vaughan and Audoen ap Madock, Welsh barons who had rebelled and been taken prisoners.
Moreover, he obtained from the King a special license to make a Castle of his house at Kersington in the County of Oxford, and was appointed Seneschal of the duchy of Aquitain and at last in 1318 of Gascony. In the 11th and 12th of that reign he had summons to parliament and died in 1320 in Gascony, but was interred at St. Frideswide, now Christ Church Oxon *.

"Alexander III., King of Scots, had invaded Man also, and entirely subdued it, and set a King over the isle. However, Mary, the daughter of Reginald King of Man, addressed her self to the King of England for justice in her case. Answer was made that the King of Scots was then possessed of the Island and she ought to apply herself to him. Her grandchild, John Waldebeof, notwithstanding this, sued again for his right in Parliament, held 33rd of Edward I., urging it there before the King of England as Lord Paramount of Scotland, yet all the answer he could have was that he might prosecute his title before the justices of the King's Bench; let it be heard there and let justice be done. But what he could not effect by law his kinsman Sir William Montacute (for he was of the royal family of Man) soon did by force of arms. For having raised a body of English, he drove the Scots out of the Isle with these raw soldiers. But, having plunged himself into debt by the great expense of this war, and become insolvent, he was forced to mortgage the Island to Anthony Bec, Bishop of Durham, and Patriarch of Jerusalem; and make over all the profits thereof to him for seven years, and quickly after, the King gave the Island to the said Anthony for term of life. Afterward King Edward II. gave it to his great favorite Peter de Gaveston. Soon after this the Scots recovered it again under the Conduct of Robert Brus. Afterward, about the year 1340, William Montacute, the younger (Earl of Salisbury), rescued it by force of Arms from the Scots and in the year of our Lord 1393 sold Man, and the Crown thereof, to William Scrope) for a great sum of money."-Camden's Britannia.
By Elizabeth, daughter of Peter lord Montfort of Beaudefert in the County of Warwick, he had issue four sons and seven daughters.
Of his four sons the eldest died in the life time of his father, the second succeeded him, Simon the 3rd son in the 8th of Edward III. was made Bishop of Worcester and in 1336 was translated to Ely. He was a great benefactor to the University of Cambridge and laid out a large sum on the fine Lady Chapel, on the north side of the Cathedral of Ely, though he did not live to finish it.
Sir Edward Montacute, the 4th son, was governor of the Castle of Werk. He  ~1245 - 1316 Simon De Montague 71 71 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Baron Of Shepton
was in several expeditions into Wales, particularly in that of 10th of Edward 1. (j286) when Llewellen lost his territory and life. He obtained from Edward I. confirmation of the manor of Shipton Montague in Somersetshire with the woods thereunto belonging in the forest of Selwood and a grant of several other manors in the same county and in those of Dorset, Devon, and Oxford.
The same lord Montacute made several campaigns with reputation both in France and Scotland, in the reign of Edward I., in which he was also Governor of Corffe Castle in Devonshire. In the Reign of Edward II. he again served in Scotland and was governor of the Castle of Beaumaris in the isle of Anglesey, and Admiral of the King's fleet. In that reign he also obtained a grant for a weekly market on Tuesday at his Manor of Yardlington, County of Somerset, and a fair on the eve day and morrow after the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin. The 7th of Edwd II. (1314) he obtained a license of the King to fortify his Manor house at Yardlington This Manor was very beautifully situated in a picturesque locality upon a very fine lawn, and remained in, this family through many descents until, through the last Countess of Salisbury (who was beheaded at the age of 70 years by Henry VIII), it passed to the Poles and thence to Henry Stafford, Duke of Buckingham. Sir Simon Montacute also owned the Manor of Goat-hill, granted to him by Edwd I., and it descended to Gen. Thomas Montacute 4th Earl of Salisbury, thence to Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, and to John Neville, Marquis of Montacute. He also owned the Manor of Laymore in Somerset. This Sir Simon Montacute bore as his Coat of Arms the original shield of his ancestor Drogo First, (Azure---a Gryphon Segreant, or, [gold] as also did his father and each of his ancestors.
However, this Sir Simon changed the Arms to "Argent (white) three fusils * in fess gules (red)." See plate.
* A lozenge is of a diamond shape, and a fusil is an elongated lozenge, and these Arms were a white shield with three red fusils joined in line.
It is however recorded that Sir Simon. used both Coats of Arms, the one which he had made and the other which he received by inheritance. Fortunately we are not left in doubt as to what Arms he really bore, for the Pope had at that time made unwarranted pretentions with regard to Scotland and had issued an insolent bull, to which all the barons of England had made reply in a letter which was signed by all the Barons, who affixed to their names, as their seals, their Coat of Arms. This letter to Pope Boniface VIII. was written A. D. 1301, and was signed by Sir Simon de Montacute, with the other barons. A duplicate of this letter is preserved in the British Museum, and the plate of the Coat of Arms of Sir Simon Montague, appended to this work, is copied from his Seal to that letter. These Arms, with some modification for differences in families, have been the arms of all the succeeding English families of Montague. Sir Simon married Aufricia, daughter of Fergusius, King of the isle of Man, descended from Orry, King of Denmark. The Historian records that Aufricia, daughter of Fergus, King of Man, having fled to King Edward, when dispossessed by Alexander III. King of Scots, Edward bestowed her in marriage upon Simon lord Montague, baron of Shipton Montague, who by the King's assistance recovered the Island and enjoyed it in her right many years. D. 1218 William De Montague and in the sixth year of Richard I. (1196) paid £6-1s-6d for his estates in the County of Somerset as scutage for the King's ransom,
He was sheriff of Dorsetshire and Somersetshire in the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth years of King John (I 2 05-I 2 09) ; which fully proves his importance at that time, when none but persons of the greatest rank and property were admitted to that office. For the first of these years he had under him Osbert, the clerk, his deputy. Being one of the great barons of that reign who stood up for the liberties of their country, and being found ('7th John) in arms with the rebellious barons against the King, he was stripped of all his lands in Counties of Somerset and Dorset, which were seized by the King and given to Ralph de Ralegh. He died 18th of King John (1218). He married Isabel, daughter. of *____* and left an only son and heir who succeeded to the estate. Drue De Montague Still Living. D. ~1247 William De Montague This son recovered all of the lands which his father had lost. But in the '7th of Henry III. (1233) he also had his lands, distrained by Virtue of the King's precept for omitting to repair to Court at the feast of Whitsuntide, there to receive the dignity of Knighthood, as was required by law. But the next year on doing his homage be was by the Sheriff of Somerset and Dorset reinstated in his possessions,. He died 31st of Henry III.

Henry III was born in 1207 and succeeded his father John on the throne of England in 1216. It was a ravaged inheritance, the scene of civil war and anarchy, and much of the east and south eastern England was under the control of the French Dauphin Louis. But Henry had two great protectors---his liege lord the Pope, and the aged William Marshal.
The Marshal, by a combination of military skill and diplomatic ability, saw off the Dauphin by September, 1217, but less than two years later he was dead, and a triumvirate ruled in his place: the papal legal Pandulf; the Poitevin Bishop of Winchester Peter des Roches; and the Justiciar Hubert de Burgh. The legate departed in 1221; two years later Henry became of age and, rejecting Peter, chose Hubert to be his chief counsellor.
Trouble soon came, as Hubert attempted to re-asert royal authority. Barons, who had kept their castles undistrubed and exercised their powers without supervison, were now called to account to the haughty justiciar, and the party of Peter des Roches did not fail to underline the annoyances involved. The years 1223-4 were taken up with quelling rebellions.
Meanwhile the situation abroad was even more disturbing: the French king Philip Augustus was eating up English lands in Gascony, and Henry's mother Isabella made a bad situation worse by her marriage with Count Hugh of Lusignan. It was only in 1230 that a badly prepared English force set out for France and, after much squabbling, all it was able to do was make a demonstration march through Gascony.
Hubert had already had one dismal failure in Wales in 1228, and his arrogant attempts to build up a personal base in the Marches provoked a Welsh raid in 1231 which did more harm to his good name. Hubert was thrust out of power, to be replaced by Peter des Roches' Poitevins. But by 1234 they had upset the baronage of England, who had never taken kindly to foreigners other than the Normans, and Richard Marshal combined with Edmund of Abington, Archbishop of Canterbury, to force the King to replace them.
Henry now began his period of personal rule, and the world was to see what sort of king he would make. He was a simple, direct man, trustful on first impression, but bearing a life-long grudge when people let him down. At times lavish and life-loving, he could show another side of his nature, that wicked Angevin temper and streak of vindictive cruelty. He had a very refined taste, and enjoyed building and restoration work more than anything else. Surrounded by barons who had been proved in the hardest schools of war, the King had the spirit of an interior decorator; the nation could have born the expense of his artistic tastes, could have forgiven the eccentricity of it all, but Henry showed time and again that he was timorous as well as artistic. He feared thunderstorms, and battle was beyond him.
The Crown had some 60 castles in England, and these were in a bad state after the troubles of John's reign and the minority. Henry travelled about tirelessly rebuilding them and making them more comfortable, spending at least ten per cent of his income on building works. He personally instructed his architects in great detail, and could not wait for them to finish---it must be ready for his return 'even if a thousand workmen are required every day' and the job must be 'properly done, beautiful and fine.' In addition he built or restored twenty royal houses, decorating them sumptiously. The painted chamber at Westminster was 80 ft. long, 26 ft. wide, and 31 ft. high. The walls were all wainscotted (at Winchester even the pantry and cellar were wainscotted) and painted with pictures and proverbs. The subjects of the pictures varied according to the royal moods---in May 1250 the Queen borrowed a book about the crusades, and a year later the walls at Clarendon showed Richard the Lionheart duelling with Saladin. Wherever there were no pictures, there was the King's favourite decor---green Basset Alan Name Suffix:<NSFX> Baron Of Wycombe

William Rufus, backing the winning side (Rufus and Henry I against their elder brother, Robert Curthose, for the Conqueror's inheritance in England and ultimately in Normandy as well. Obtained both the wife and Norman lands of Robert de Mowbray. . He also obtained the lands in northern England of Robert de Stuteville some time after Stuteville's fall in 1106.
Roll: Nigel, his son took the name of Mowbray on inheriting the estates of
that family. Nigel became one of the greatest landowners in England and is the only member of the family recorded in Domesday, having received grants of several lordships in Buckingham, Leicester, Bedford and Warwick, as he succeeded to the estates of his father and grandfather. He is reputed to have possessed 120 manors in Normandy and as many in England, including the great domain of the earl of Mowbray, which came to him through his wife, confiscated from his cousin, Robert de Mowbray, earl of Northumberland, given by Henry I, on condition that their eldest son would take the name of Mowbray. He lived to a very great age and died in 1138.
The Mowbrays, Dukes of Norfolk, were from an ancient period a great baronial family and made a succession of fortunate alliances. The family was founded by Nigel de Albini, brother of William de Albini, from whom the ancient Earls of Arundel descended. The Albinis, who were maternally from the house of Mowbray, came into England with the Conqueror and obtained large possessions after the victory of Hastings. Nigel's grants lay in the cos. of Bucks, Bedford, Warwick, and Leicester, and comprised several extensive lordships. In the reign of Rufus, he was bow-bearer to the king; and, being girt with the sword of knighthood by King Henry I, had, of that monarch's gifts, the manor of Egmanton with divers parks in the forest of Sherwood, which lordship, however, he transferred to his particular friend, Robert Davil. But when King Henry had further experience of his great valour and military skill, he augmented his royal bounty and conferred upon him the vavasories of Camville and Wyville, which gracious mark of favour so attached Albini to the interests of his sovereign, that he espoused with the most devoted zeal the cause of Henry against his brother, Robert Curthose, and, taking a conspicuous part at the battles of Tenerchebray, he there slew the horse of Curthose and brought the prince himself to the king, for which eminent service Henry conferred upon him the lands of Robert, Baron of Frontebeof, named Stuteville, in England, which Frontebeof had forfeited in behalf of Curthose. After which, King Henry besieging a castle in Normandy, this gallant Sir Nigil first entered the breech, sword in hand, and delivered up the fortress to the king, which achievement was remunerated by a royal grant of the forfeited lands of his maternal uncle, Robert de Mowbray, Earl of Northumberland, both in Normandy and England; as also his castles, with the castle of Bayeux and its appurtenances, so that he had no less than 120 knights' fees in Normandy and as many in England, thus becoming one of the most powerful persons of the period in which he lived. Sir Nigil de Albini m. 1st, Maud, dau. of Richard de Aquila, by permission of Pope Paschall, her husband, Robert de Mowbray, Earl of Northumberland, before-mentioned, being then alive and in prison for rebellion against William Rufus; from this lady he was, however, divorced, on account of consanguinity, and by her he had no issue. He m. 2ndly, in 1118, Gundred, dau. of Gerald de Gorney, by the special advice of King Henry I, and had two son, Roger, his successor, and Henry, who had the lordship and barony of Camho, and was ancestor of the Albinis, feudal lords of that place.

Hugh de Gournay, Lord of Gournay and the adjacent territory of Le Brai, was one of the Norman barons who commanded at the Battle of Mortimer against the French in 1054. He came over to England with Duke William and was present at the Battle of Hastings. These Norman barons of Gournay deduced their lineage from Eudes, a follower of Rollo, to whom that chieftain assigned the fortress of Gournay, when he divided Neustria among his dependents; they continued to retain these Norman fiefs until the reign of John, when they were seized upon by Philip-Augustus. [John Burke, History of the Commoners of Great Britain and Ireland, Vol. I, R. Bentley, London, 1834-1838, p. 484, Gurney, of Keswick]
There is no specific source from which it is certain that Hugh III was the son of Hugh II, but it is probable. He may also have been at the Battle of Hastings, but is not on Professor Douglas's confirmed list. About 1079 he extended the Gournay estates by acquiring some 24 villages in the Beauvois, and thereby became a vassal of the King of France. He was one of a small group of Norman barons who helped to reconcile William the Conqueror and his rather rebellious eldest son, Robert Curthose. In contract to the Norman-French lands, his possessions in England were decidedly modest, for in Domesday (1086) he is shown holding just three manors in Essex - Fordham, Liston and Ardleigh.

The name of Gurney or Gournay is derived from the town of Gournay in Normandy. Hugh de Gournay, Lord of Gournay and the adjacent territory of Le Brai, was one of the Norman barons who commanded at the Battle of Mortimer against the French in 1054. He came over to England with Duke William and was present at the Battle of Hastings. These Norman barons of Gournay deduced their lineage from Eudes, a follower of Rollo, to whom that chieftain assigned the fortress of Gournay, when he divided Neustria among his dependents; they continued to retain these Norman fiefs until the reign of John, when they were seized upon by Philip-Augustus. [John Burke, History of the Commoners of Great Britain and Ireland, Vol. I, R. Bentley, London, 1834-1838, p. 484, Gurney, of Keswick]
There is no specific source from which it is certain that Hugh III was the son of Hugh II, but it is probable. He may also have been at the Battle of Hastings, but is not on Professor Douglas's confirmed list. About 1079 he extended the Gournay estates by acquiring some 24 villages in the Beauvois, and thereby became a vassal of the King of France. He was one of a small group of Norman barons who helped to reconcile William the Conqueror and his rather rebellious eldest son, Robert Curthose. In contract to the Norman-French lands, his possessions in England were decidedly modest, for in Domesday (1086) he is shown holding just three manors in Essex - Fordham, Liston and Ardleigh. Before 1093 he retired to Normandy and ended his days as a monk at the Abbey of Bec. ~0998 - ~1074 Hugh II De Gournay 76 76 . He played a significant part in the events of his time. Before 1035 he was a witness to a charter of the youthful Duke William. In his early career he made a mark as a sea-going warrior, and in 1036 he was one of the commanders of the Norman fleet that took the Anglo-Saxon Prince Edward (later the Confessor) to England, in that young man's hope that with the help of his mother, Queen Emma, he could gain the English throne upon the death of Canute. But he was not welcome there, and returned to Normandy to bide his time.
Hugh II was one of the three named leaders of the Norman knights in the battle of Mortemer in 1054. When he died is not certain, but it may have been during a battle against the French King Henri I. He lived to a considerable age, being known in his later days as "old Hugh". We know nothing of his wifeBefore 1035 he was a witness to a charter of the youthful Duke William.

He was created Lord of Clare by William the Conqueror, whom he accompanied to England in 1066.
This great Norman conquering family would become extinct in the male line in 1314.
Richard FitzGilbert, having accompanied the Conqueror into England, participated in the spoils of conquest and obtained extensive possessions in the new and old dominions of his royal leader and kinsman. In 10873 we find him joined under the designation of Ricardus de Benefacta, with William de Warren, in the great office of Justiciary of England, with whom, in three years afterwards, he was in arms against the rebellious lords Robert de Britolio, Earl of Hereford, and Ralph Waher, or Guarder, Earl of Norfolk and Suffolk, and behaved with great gallantry. But afterwards, at the time of the General Survey, which was towards the close of William's reign, he is called Ricardus de Tonebruge, from his seat at Tonebruge (now Tunbridge) in Kent, which town and castle he obtained from the archbishop of Canterbury in lieu of the castle of Brion, at which time he enjoyed thirty-eight lordships in Surrey, thirty-five in Essex, three in Cambridgeshire, with some others in Wilts and Devon, and ninety-five in Suffolk, amongst those was Clare, whence he was occasionally styled Richard de Clare, and that place in a few years afterwards becoming the chief seat of the family, his descendants are said to have assumed thereupon the title of Earls of Clare.

(1156) he paid £20 into the King's exchequer for the ancient pleas; and 7th of Henry II. (1161) upon the collection of the scutage then levied, he paid 20 marks for the Knight's fees (a yard land Of 40 acres paid two shillings and sixpence tax) which he at that time held, soon after which he died, leaving issue his son Drue, who was called "Drogo Juvenis" -or Young Drue. ~1040 - ~1125 Drogo De Montacute 85 85 Drogo became the trusted companion, follower and intimate friend of Robert, Earl of Moriton or Mortain, the favorite brother of William, Duke of Normandy, afterwards the Conqueror. Drogo and the Earl of Moriton were of the same age, and both entered heartily into the plans of William in his proposed expedition against England. This expedition was in active preparation in the summer of 1066 and was composed of 60,000 men and 300 ships. They landed at Pevensy upon the coast of Sussex, late in Sept., 1066, and immediately burned and scuttled their ships, that their only hope might lie in their courage and resolution, their only safety in victory. This marked the advent of the first Montague upon the shores of England, and as he marches on towards the plain near Hastings (where upon the 14th of Oct. the battle of Hastings was fought and won), we note that the kite-shaped shield of the Norman invader, its color is cirulean blue, and upon it is the full length figure of a Griffin segreant (rampant with wings spread), and painted a bright golden hue. This was the original Coat of Arms of the Montague family in England. (Footnote: A Gryphon or Griffin was an imaginary animal, devised by the ancients, and consisted of the body and tail of a lion, with the head and claws, or talons of an eagle, thus denoting great strength united with great swiftness.)
William having conquered England, and ascended the throne as William I, his followers were rewarded with large grants of land. Both his favorite brother, the Earl of Moriton, and his trusty follower, Drogo de Monteacuto, received large possessions. Drogo obtained the grant of several Manors, particularly in the County of Somerset. The original castle or seat of Drogo was at Montecute, an eminence and parish in Tintinhull, Somersetshire, four miles south of ??chester. Its ancient name appears to have been Logoresburg and was also called Bishopton. Here the Earl of Mortain built a castle and named it for his friend Drogo de Montecuto. While this was the original home of the Montagues, the seat of their barony was at Shepton Montacute, a villa at no great distance from Montacute. This parish contains the hamlets of upper and lower Shepton, Knolle and Stoney Stoke, and was held by Drogo de Monteacuto and his direct descendants until the time of Henry VIII, when Sir Thomas Montacute leaving no male issue, this estate was divided between his three sisters.
Drogo de Monteacuto also held of Robert, Earl of Moriton, the following Manors: Yarlington, Sutton Montacute, Tulbier or Torlaberie, and also held one hide of land in Montague in this county. (A hide of land was 160 acres and four hides was 640 acres made a knight's fee.) We find Drogo de Monteacuto in possession of these estates until his death, which took place about the latter end of the reign of King Henry I, about 1125. A curious fact may be recorded here, that upon the spot where the battle of Hastings was fought, William I founded an Abbey which was called Battle Abbey, and in the words of the charter, "Instituted a market to be kept there on Lord's Day free from toll," and that Anthony, Viscount Montague, a lineal descendant of Drogo, about the year 1575-1600, built a fine house there and obtained authority from Parliament to have the market changed to another day. Drogo was succeeded by his son, William.
was born about the year 1040. He became the trusted companion, follower, and intimate friend of Robert, Earl of Moriton (or Mortain), the favorite brother of William, Duke of Normandy.
Drogo and the Earl of Moriton were of the same age and both entered heartily into the plans of William in his proposed expedition against England.
This expedition was in active preparation in the summer of 1066 and was composed of sixty thousand men and over three hundred ships. Drogo de Monte-acuto accompanied the expedition in the immediate retinue of Robert, Earl of Mortain.

She nobly defended and aided with heroic valour the defense of the Castle of Werk, with her husband's brother, Sir Edward de Montecute, and also bravely defended her own Castle of Salisbury from King David of Scotland, while her husband was a prisoner of war in France.

After rebel barons captured Henry and took over the government in May 1264, Eleanor became the leader of the royalist exiles in France. She raised an invasion force, but her fleet was wrecked at Sluis, Flanders. Nevertheless, the rebels were crushed in August 1265, and Eleanor then returned to England.

He was excepted from military duty in Gascony in 1294, in which year he appears as Governor of Jersey and Guernsey. He was summoned to Parliament from Feb. 6, 1280, to Oct. 10, 1325, by writs directed to Willimo de Grandisono, whereby he is held to have become Lord Grandison, and was present at a meeting of Parliament April 5, 1305, at the house of his brother, Otis de Grandison Archbishop of York in Westmenster. He was summoned to the Coronation of Edward II Jan. 18, 1307. Having been summoned for military service in 1322, he did not attend the muster, and his lands were seized; but the absence being due to severe illness, license was given him to remain at home for the more speedy restoration of his health, provided that he sent at least six men-at-arms for the expedition. On Sept. 20, 1329, he had respite of homage until Easter following as the King had learnt that he was so infirm and aged that he was unable to come. He was, however, summoned July 12, 1332, to be with the King at Michaelmas and take passage to Ireland on the expedition there. He married in or before 1285 Sybil, younger daughter of Sir John Tregoze of Ewyas, by his first wife Mabel, daughter of Fulke FitzWarine. On Nov. 26, 1300, it was ordered that the lands of Sir John Tregoze should be divided between William de Grandison and wife and the other co-heir they having done homage. Partition took place Dec. 1, 1300, by mutual assent. His wife died June 27, 1335 (Cokayne's Complete Peerage, Vol. 6, pp. 60/1).
William de Grandison was younger brother of Sir Otho de Grandison, who was Secretary to Edward I, and afterwards Lord Grandison. William was originally a menial servant to Edmund, Lord Pancaster, and obtained from that Prince in consideration for his own faithful services and the services of his ancestors a grant of the Manors of Radley and Menstreworth, County Gloucester. In the 20th of Edward I, 1292, he procured a license to make a castle of his home at Asperton, County Here ford, and in two years afterwards he was in the expedition made into Gascony, where he continued for some time, and while so engaged was summoned to Parliament as a Baron. He was afterwards engaged in the Scottish wars. His Lordship married Sibilla, daughter of Sir John Tregoze, and upon partition of the lands of that inheritance acquired the Manors of Burnham, County Somerset, and Eton in Herefordshire. He had issue by this lady three sons and three daughters: Peter, his successor, 2nd Baron Grandison; John, Bishop of Exeter; Otho, a distinguished soldier; Mabella married Sir John Patteshull; Katherine, of whom further; Agnes married Sir John Northwode 1195 Pierre I Sire De Grandison 1164 Ebal IV Sire De Grandison 1136 Ebal III Sire De Grandison 1110 - 1158 Bartholomew Sire De Grandison 48 48 1082 Ebal De Grandison 1055 - 1114 Falko De Grandison 59 59 ~1030 - 1086 Adelbert De Grandison 56 56 1003 Adelbert Von Grandison 1064 Adelheid De Roucy Adela Of Roucy Still Living. ~1037 Andrew Lord Of Ramerupt & Roucy 1173 Beatrix Of Savoy 1136 - 4 Mar 1187-1188 Humbert III "The Saint Name Suffix:<NSFX> " Count Of Savoy Gautier III Sire De Salins Still Living. 1060 - 1125 Guigues VIII Count D'albon 65 65 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Dauphin De Viennois 1025 - 1075 Guiges VII 'Le Gros' Count Of Albon And Grenoble 50 50 1042 - 1070 Adelais Petronel Of Turin 28 28 UNKNOWN Mathilda Still Living. ~1160 - 1230 Beatrice Of Mâcon 70 70 Maurette De Salins Still Living. ~1092 - 1149 III Amadeus 57 57 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Count Of Savoy 1194 Ulrich III Neuchatel 1198 Yolande De Urach Arberg 1160 Egino IV Der Bartige Count Of Urach 1168 Agnes Princess Of Zaringen 1271 - 1334 Sybil Tregoz 63 63 ~1232 - 1300 John De Tregoz II Lord Baron Tregoz 68 68 Sir John Tregoze, Lord Baron Tregoze, only son and heir, did homage and obtained livery of his fathers' lands 52nd of Henry III, 1268, and stood in such favour with royalty that, notwithstanding his father's treason against Henry III, he was acquitted of 50 marks of œ100, then due for his relief, after which he attended Edward I on the expedition into Wales. This Baron, during the latter part of his life, was summoned to Parliament from Jan. 26, 1296, to Feb. 6, 1299, and in 1300 was summoned to perform military service against the Scotch, but his death prevented it, for he died Aug. 21, 1300. He died seized of an immense inheritance. He married Mabel, daughter of Foulk, Lord FitzWarine, and this lady owned the Manor of Weston, in Bedfordshire, and the Hamlet of Sturden in Gloucester. By her Lord Tregoze had only two daughters, Clarissa, who married John de la Warre, and Sibilla, of whom further. At his lordship's decease the barony of Tregoze fell into abeyance between his grandson, John de la Warre, and his 2nd daughter, Sybilla de Grandison, as it still continues with their representatives. Bet 1190 and 1200 Robert De Tregoz Lord Baron Tregoz Sir Robert de Tregoze, eldest son and heir, succeeded his father in his immense Wiltshire and Hereford estates, and was Baron Tregoze of Lydiard Tregoze in former county and Lord of Ewyas Harold in the latter, in right of his mother. He did homage and had livery of his mother's estates in Hereford, 1236, paying œ100 for his relief. He was living 40th of Henry III, 1256, and two years afterward was summoned to march against the Welsh, but in joining the rebellious barons of this reign, the same year was slain at the Battle of Evesham, Aug. 4, 1265, having had to wife Juliana, daughter William, Lord Catilupe by Millicent, daughter of Hugh de Gournai. Which Juliana brought the manor of Great Dodington in Northampton into the Tregoze family and bore her husband two children. By Roll of Arms compiled between 1240 and 1245 we find that Robert bore "Gules 3 bars gemels or, a lion passant in the chief of the same. 1145 - 1215 Robert De Tregoz I Sheriff Of Wiltshire 70 70 Robert became prominent because he acquired immense wealth by his marriage. He took to wife Sibilla, daughter and heiress of Robert de Ewyas, Lord Ewyas of Harold Ewyas in Hertfordshire, and in 9th of Richard I, had a suit with Herminus de Braton for the advowson of Braton church in Norfolk, part of her vast inheritance. But it appears, though duly married, a strange contest arose in the 11th of King John regarding her; when William de Newmarket was summoned to show by what right he claimed to wife her who was Robert Tregoze's wife; for it appears that Richard I had given her to Tregoze in marriage. Whereupon Newmarket came and said that he had married her in the time of Richard I by gift of Robert de Ewyas, her father. It is very certain, however, that Tregoze had sufficient power to retain the heiress, for in 14 of King John they recovered lands in Somerset, in the right of Sibella. Meanwhile Sir Robert de Tregoze was High Sheriff of Wiltshire, 3rd of Richard I, and in three years afterwards was engaged in the expedition made into Normady. In first of John 1200 he gave the King 200 marks in silver to have granted to him the wardship of the heir and lands of Geoffrey Hose, and in the 7th of John, 1206, on collecting scutage of that King's reign, answered 38 marks for 19 knight's fees, belonging to the honour of Robert de Ewyas, his father-in-law. He died about 1212. Sibilla, his wife, survived him and married 2nd Roger de Clifford and died 1236. They had two sons, daughter. 1120 - ~1214 William De Tregoz 94 94 1096 Geoffrey De Tregoz 1070 William De Tregoz William flourished in the reign of Henry I, and of whom the Great Pipe Roll of 31 of Henry I, 1130/1, makes much mention. This Pipe Roll proves William Tregoze to have been a man of great consequence, and to have been concerned in Norfolk, Essex, Berks and Lincolnshire; and moreover that he then had the lands of William Peberell of London. William Tregoze married and had issue and very probably Agnes Tregoze, who we find living in 9th of Richard I, as concerned in Norfolk and Essex was his widow.

He was efficient and tolerant of local customs, and his reign was peaceful. He was most important as a patron of the English monastic revival.
The younger son of Edmund I, king of the English, Edgar was made king of the Mercians and Northumbrians in place of Eadwig, his brother, who was deposed. On Eadwig's death (Oct. 1, 959), Edgar succeeded to the West Saxon throne. His ecclesiastical policy was also that of the archbishop of Canterbury, St. Dunstan, who insisted on strict observance of the Benedictine Rule. The king supported Archbishop Oswald of York and Bishop Aethelwold of Winchester in founding abbeys. Edgar's laws were the first in England to prescribe penalties for nonpayment of tithes and Peter's pence, the annual contribution made by Roman Catholics for support of the Holy See.

In the next year he was made governor of the castles of Hereford and Wilton, and was subsequently sheriff of Herefordshire. In the 11th of the same reign [1210-11], being then the king's steward, he gave 40 marks for the wardship of Egidia, Lady of Kilpeck, widow of William Fitz-Warine, and in three years afterwards, when the king was excommunicated by Pope Innocent III, he remained so faithful as to become one of the monarch's chief counsellors. We find him, however, arrayed afterwards under the baronial banner and joining in the invitation to Louis of France. But within the same year he forfeited estates of Richard de Engaine and Vitalis de Engaine, two leading barons in the insurrection, and was appointed governor of Kenilworth Castle, co. Warwick.

Barrois, ancient county, then duchy, on the western frontier of Lorraine, a territory of the Holy Roman Empire, of which Barrois was long a fiefdom or holding before being absorbed piecemeal by France. The centre and capital was the town that later came to be known as Bar-le-Duc, in the modern French département of Meuse.
Because of its location between France and Germany, the dukedom was for many years of uncertain loyalty. In 951 the German emperor Otto I gave the countship of Barrois (i.e., the district of Bar), at the time a fief of the duchy of Lorraine, to Frederick of Ardenne. When Frederick's great-great-grandson Renaud (Reynald) inherited the countship, he founded the House of Bar. The counts of Bar increased their wealth and became the most powerful vassals of the dukes of Lorraine, with whom, however, they carried on endless struggles, usually fighting in the French ranks, while the dukes adhered to the Germans. Count Henry III made an alliance with Edward I of England and the German king Adolf of Nassau against France. Defeated in battle with the French, Henry III was forced in 1301 to do homage to the French king Philip IV for that part of the Barrois west of the Meuse River, which was claimed as being in the mouvance, or feudal dependency, of France and which from then on was called the "Barrois mouvant."
In 1354 Robert of Bar took the title of duke of Bar. In 1420 René of Anjou, who had inherited the dukedom, married Isabella, heiress of the Duke of Lorraine, so that on the death of the latter (1431) the Barrois and Lorraine were united. From then on the Barrois shared the fate of Lorraine, which was annexed to the French crown in 1766 on the death of Stanislaw Leszczynski, the former king of Poland, to whom it had been granted in 1738.

Hugh THE GREAT, also called HUGH THE WHITE, French HUGUES LE GRAND, or HUGUES LE BLANC (d. June 16/17, 956), duke of the Franks, count of Paris, and progenitor of the Capetian kings of France. He was the most powerful man in the kingdom of France (West Francia) during the reign of Louis IV d'Outremer and the early years of King Lothair.
Son of a king (Robert I), father of another (Hugh Capet), and brother-in-law of three more (Rudolf of France, Athelstan of England, and Otto of Germany), Hugh possessed such vast territories that he could easily have assumed the crown on the death of Rudolf in 936. Preferring to work from behind the throne, he instead suggested the accession of Louis IV, son of the deposed Charles III the Simple. Louis proved no puppet, however, and his reign saw an almost constant struggle between King and Duke in which all the great magnates of France, Otto I of Germany, and the dukes of Lorraine were at one time or another involved. In 945 Louis fell into Hugh's hands and was incarcerated for a year before pressure from abroad and public opinion at home brought his release. Excommunicated by French and German councils and by the Pope, Hugh finally submitted to Louis in 951.
On the death of the King three years later, Hugh again turned down the opportunity to become king, plumping instead for Louis's young son, Lothair; but for his last two years Hugh was effectively the ruler of France.

This Fulke was left by King Richard I to defend the Marches of Wales when that monarch set out himself for the Holy Land; and in the 7th of the same reign [1196], he paid 40 marks to the crown for livery of Whittington Castle, in conformity with the judgment then given in his favour by the Court of King's Bench. After the accession of John in 1199, however, this castle was forcibly seized by the crown and conferred upon another person, which act of injustice drove Fitzwarine and his brothers into rebellion and they were, in consequence, outlawed; but through the mediation of the Earl of Salisbury (the king's brother) and the bishop of Norwich, the outlawry was reversed and FitzWarine, upon paying 200 marks and two coursers, had livery of the castle as his hereditary right, command being given to the sheriff of Shropshire to yield him possession thereof accordingly. About this time he paid tot he crown 1,200 marks and two palfreys for permission to marry Maud., dau. of Robert Vavasour, and widow of Theobald Walter.
In the 12th John [1211], he attended that prince into Ireland, and in the 17th he had livery of his wife's inheritance lying in Amundernesse, in Lancashire. After this we find him active in the baronial cause and amongst those excommunicated by the Pope; nor did he make his peace until the 4th of Henry III [1220], when he compromised by paying £262 and two great coursers for the repossession of Whittington Castle, which, in the baronial conflict, had again been alienated. Whereupon undertaking that it should not be prejudicial to the king, he had licence the next year to fortify the same; and he thenceforward evinced his loyalty by the good services he rendered against the Welsh under William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke, and by his personal attendance upon the king himself in his army at Montgomery. He had subsequently military summonses upon several occasions and fought at the battle of Lewes, anno 1263, under the royal banner, in which action he lost his life by being drowned in the adjacent river.

NOTE: Burke has compacted two generations here, as it was his son who d. at the Battle of Lewes. If the father had died at the Battle of Lewes, he would have been near 100 years of age. It is also my opinion that the second marriage to Clarice referred to above is actually the marriage of his son to Constance de Toni. ~1138 - ~1198 Fulk II Fitzwarin 60 60 Sir Fulke Fitz-Warine, being under the tutelage of Sir Josce de Dinant, fell in love with his dau., Hawise, and marring her, proceeded with her father to Ireland and assisted him in his wars against Walter de Lacie. About the year 1122, this Fulke was constituted by King Henry I lieutenant of the Marches of Wales, and afterwards steward of the household, and lord and governor of those Marches. Of Sir Fulk it is stated that, at one time falling out with Prince John, King Henry's son, at a game of chess, and having his head broken by a blow of the chessboard from the prince, he returned the assault so violently as nearly to deprive his opponent of life. He d. some time before the year 1195, leaving a dau. Eve, and was s. by his eldest son, Fulke FitzWarine.

Gloucester, of which former county Guarine was sheriff, in the year 1083, and he was at the same time one of the chief councillors to Roger de Montgomerie, Earl of Shrewsbury. Of this Guarine, it is stated, that, having heard that William, a valiant knight, sister's son to Pain Peverell, Lord of Whittington, in Shropshire, had two daus., one of whom, Mallet, had resolved to marry none but a knight of great prowess, and that her father had appointed a meeting of noble men at Peverel's Pace, on the Peke, from which she was to select the most gallant, he came thither, when, entering the lists with a son of the King of Scotland and with a Baron of Burgundy, he vanquished them both and won the fair prize with the lordship and castle of Whittington.

Walter de Lacy obtained, 9 King John [1208], a confirmation of his dominion of Meath, to be held by him and his heirs for the service of fifty knights' fees; as also of all his fees in Fingall, in the valley of Dublin, to be held by the service of seven knights' fees. In three years afterwards, King John passing into Ireland with his army, Laci was forced to deliver himself up and all his possessions in that kingdom and to abjure the realm. He was subsequently banished from England, but in the 16th of the same reign [1215], he seems to have made his peace, for he was then allowed to repossess Ludlow, with his castle; and the next year he recovered all his lands in Ireland, except the castle and lands of Drogheda, by paying a fine of 4,000 marks to the crown. After this we find him sheriff of Herefordshire in the 18th of John [1217], and 2nd of Henry III [1218], and in the 14th of the latter king [1230], joined with Geffrey de Marisco, then justice of Ireland, and Richard de Burgh, in subduing the King of Connaught, who had taken up arms to expel the English from his territories.

In the 26th Edward I [1298], his lordship was in the expedition then made into Scotland, and behaved so valiantly that the king rendered to him and his wife, the said Joane, the castle and honour of Tonebruge with other lands in Kent, Surrey, and Sussex, as also the Isle of Portland and divers other estates belonging to the said Joane, which had been seized by the crown in consequence of her marriage without license with the said Ralph, and the king became eventually much attached to his son-in-law, to whom he had been reconciled through the intercession of Anthony Bek, the celebrated bishop of Durham. In the 31st, 32nd, and 34th of his father-in-law [1203, 1304, and 1306], the earl was again in Scotland and in the contest with Bruce. King Edward conferred upon him the whole of Anandale with the title of Earl of Atholl, the Scottish nobleman who held that dignity having espoused the fortunes of Bruce, but it was not long after that that Joane of Acre departed this life (viz., 1st Edward II), and he never, subsequently, obtained the title of Earl of Gloucester and Hertford although he lived for several years; in a grant of considerable landed property made to him and his sons in two years afterwards, he is styled Ralph de Monthermer only. Nor is he otherwise denominated in the 5th Edward II [1312], at which time, for recompense of his service in Scotland, the king gave him 300 marks, part of the 600 marks which he was to have paid for the wardship of John ap Adam, a great man of that age. Nor in two years afterwards, when again in the wars of Scotland, he was made prisoner at Bannockburn, but he then found favour from his former familiarity with the King of Scotland, at the court of England, and obtained his freedom without paying ransom. He was, however, summoned to parliament as a Baron from 4 March, 1309, to 30 October, 1321. His lordship m. 2ndly, Isabel, widow of John de Hastings, and sister and co-heir of Aymer de Valence, Earl of Pembroke, by whom he had no issue.

Alfonso II (b. 1152, Barcelona--d. 1196, Perpignan, Roussillon), count of Barcelona from 1162 and king of Aragon from 1164.
The son of Ramón Berenguer IV, Alfonso succeeded his father as count of Barcelona and his mother as ruler of Aragon, thus associating the two countries under the house of Barcelona--a union that was destined to be permanent. Aragonese involvement in France became steadily greater during Alfonso's reign. Nevertheless, the conquest of Teruel (1171) opened the way for the conquest of Valencia; and, in 1179, the pact of Cazorla with his ally, Alfonso VIII of Castile, fixed the future zones of reconquest for the two countries. In his will Alfonso followed the Spanish custom of dividing his kingdom; Provence was thus lost to the Aragonese crown. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97] ~1113 - 1162 Ramón IV Berenguer 49 49 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Count Of Barcelona
The elder son of Ramon Berenguer III, he continued his father's crusading wars against the Spanish Muslims. The kingdom of Aragon soon sought Ramon Berenguer IV's aid against Castile. In the course of their negotiations, he was promised the hand of the Aragonese king Ramiro II's daughter and heir, Petronila (Peronella); they were married on Aug. 11, 1137, and a few months later (November 13), Ramiro II abdicated in favour of his daughter and son-in-law. Ramon Berenguer IV thus became the last count of Barcelona to take this as his principal title, for, from 1137, he was also ruler of Aragon (though he himself never assumed the title of king). From the reign of his son, who in 1162 succeeded him with the title of Alfonso II, the counts of Barcelona styled themselves, in the first place, kings of Aragon.
When Ramon Berenguer IV's father had died, he had left the county of Provence to a younger son. When this son died, his brother Ramon Berenguer IV acted as regent (conventionally with the title Ramon Berenguer II of Provence) until the legitimate heir, his young nephew, reached majority in 1157, as Ramon Berenguer III of Provence. When this count of Provence died in 1166 without a male heir, he was succeeded by Ramon Berenguer IV's son Alfonso II, king of Aragon. By his wars and conquests from the Moors--Tortosa (1148), Lerida, Mequinenza, and Fraga (1149), and Prades and Siurana (1153)--Ramon Berenguer IV definitively established the boundaries of the principality of Catalonia. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97] 1080 - 1131 Ramón III Berenguer 50 50 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Count Of Barcelona
count of Barcelona during whose reign, (1097-1131) independent Catalonia reached the summit of its historical greatness, spreading its ships over the western Mediterranean and acquiring new lands from the southern Pyrennees to Provence. He was also known as Ramon Berenguer I of Provence.
The son of Ramon Berenguer II, he took the throne on the departure of his uncle, Berenguer Ramon II, on crusade and spent his early years fighting off Almoravid Muslims, whose armies approached the very walls of Barcelona. Thereafter, his expansionist campaigns began. In 1111 he conquered the county of Besalú and, by his marriage to Douce (or Dolça) of Provence in 1112, acquired the county of Provence. In the years 1114-15 he undertook, with the Pisans, a joint expedition against the Balearic Islands, liberating thousands of Christian slaves and destroying the Moors' piratical bases. Commerce thereafter flourished between Barcelona, Marseille, Genoa, and Pisa. The following year (1116) he sailed to Rome in an attempt to gain aid from the Italian states and to acquire a license from the Pope for his crusade in Spain, but the visit was largely unsuccessful. In 1117 he inherited the old county of Cerdaña in the Pyrenees.
On his death, Provence went to his younger son, Berenguer Ramon (as Berenguer Ramon I of Provence, reigning 1131-44); and the rest of the lands, the most important ones, went to the elder son, Ramon Berenguer IV. 1055 - 1082 Ramón II Berenguer 27 27 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Count Of Barcelona

Following up on the policies of their father, Ramon Berenguer I, they proceeded to build the defenses and repopulate the lands that he had conquered. In 1082, in a forest en route to Gerona, Ramon Berenguer II was murdered, probably by his brother, thereafter nicknamed "the Fratricide" ("el Fratricida"). Berenguer Ramon II, now sole master, took part in the civil wars of the Spanish Muslims and reconquered the Tarragona area (1091). He reigned until 1097, when, having lost a trial by combat that was intended to decide the question of his guilt in the crime attributed to him, he went on crusade to Jerusalem, where he died, probably in either 1097 or 1099. 1023 - 1076 Ramón I Berenguer 53 53 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Count Of Barcelona

His father, Berenguer Ramon I (reigned 1018-35), divided and bequeathed his lands among his three sons; however, Sanç (or Sancho) in 1049 and Guillem (or William) in 1054 renounced their inheritances in their eldest brother's favour, thus reuniting the lands. Ramon Berenguer I also expanded his domain by securing control over the adjacent counties of Ampurias and Pallars. His most noted achievement was convoking the local Cortes (assembly) and having it deliberate on a choice of Roman and medieval laws for Catalonia.

July 17, 1085, near Cephalonia, Greece, Byzantine Empire), Norman adventurer who settled in Apulia, in southern Italy, about 1047 and became duke of Apulia (1059). He eventually extended Norman rule over Naples, Calabria, and Sicily and laid the foundations of the Kingdom of Sicily.
Arrival in Apulia
Robert was born into a family of knights. Arriving in Apulia, in southern Italy, around 1047 to join his half brother Drogo, he found that it and Campania, though they were southern Italy's most flourishing regions, were plagued by political disturbances. These regions attracted hordes of fortune-seeking Norman immigrants, who were to transform the political role of both regions in the following decades.
In Campania, the Lombards of Capua were launching wars against the Byzantine dukes of Naples in order to gain possession of that important seaport. In Apulia, William ("Iron Arm") de Hauteville, Robert's eldest half brother, having successfully defeated the Byzantine Greeks who controlled that region, had been elected count of Apulia in 1042. In 1046 he had been succeeded by his brother Drogo.
When Robert joined his brothers, they sent him to Calabria to attack Byzantine territory. He began his campaign by pillaging the countryside and ransoming its people. In 1053, at the head of the combined forces of Normans from Apulia and Campania, he defeated the haphazardly led forces of the Byzantines, the Lombards, and the papacy at Civitate. Because of the deaths of William and Drogo and of his third half brother, Count Humphrey, in 1057, Robert returned to Apulia to seize control from Humphrey's sons and save the region from disgregating internal conflicts. After becoming the recognized leader of the Apulian Normans, Robert resumed his campaign in Calabria. His brother Roger's arrival from Normandy enabled him to extend and solidify his conquests in Apulia.
In his progression from gang leader to commander of mercenary troops to conqueror, Robert emerged as a shrewd and perspicacious political figure. In 1059 he entered into a concordat at Melfi with Pope Nicholas II. Until that time the papacy had been hostile toward the Normans, considering them to be an anarchist force that upset the political structure in southern Italy--a structure based on a balance of power between the Byzantines and the Lombards of northern Italy. The schism that took place between the Greek and Latin churches in 1054 worsened the relations between the Byzantine emperors and the papacy, and eventually the papacy realized that Norman conquests over the Byzantines could work to its advantage. Robert's plan to expel the Arabs from Sicily and restore Christianity to the island also found favour in Nicholas' eyes. This expedition into Sicily got under way in 1060, as soon as the conquest of Calabria was completed. Robert entrusted the command of the expedition to his brother Roger, but on particularly difficult occasions--e.g., the siege of Palermo in 1071--he came to his brother's aid.
Until this time, Robert's relations with Roger had not always been amicable, since Roger, aware of both his own talent and Robert's dependency on him, would not settle for the subordinate role allotted him. Their differences were resolved when Robert invested Roger, after he had recognized Robert's supreme authority, with "the County of Sicily and Calabria" along with the right to govern and tax both counties.
Expansion of the Duchy
Robert continued to expand the small county left by Humphrey into a duchy, extending from the Adriatic to the Tyrrhenian sea. The capture of Bari in April 1071 resulted in the end of Byzantine rule in southern Italy. Robert turned next to the neighbouring territories of Salerno, controlled by the Lombards. Instead of fighting them, he dissolved his first marriage and in 1058 ~0985 - 1041 Tancred De Hauteville 56 56 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Seigneur Of Hauteville 1025 - 1091 Sichelgaita Of Salerno 66 66 UNKNOWN Concubine Still Living. ~0985 Fresende Of Normandy ~1010 - 1052 IV Guimar 42 42 Name Suffix:<NSFX> Prince Of Salerno

After the murder of Sancho IV of Navarre, Sancho Ramírez, with Navarrese consent, became king of Navarre, forestalling the ambition of Alfonso VI of Castile to annex that kingdom. Sancho's main importance was as king of Aragon. After his father's death (1063) fighting the Moors at Graus, the papacy organized three international crusades against Spanish Islam (1063, 1073, and 1087). They all failed, but Sancho reconquered many places from his own resources, notably in the regions of Huesca and Monzón; at the end of his reign Aragon began to edge toward the Mediterranean coast. Sancho placed his kingdoms under the feudal protection of the Holy See in 1089. He died of wounds during the siege of Huesca ~1007 - 1063 I Ramiro 56 56 Name Suffix:<NSFX> King Of Aragón
Ramiro I (d. May 8, 1063), first king of Aragon, who reigned from 1035. He was the illegitimate son of King Sancho III of Navarre. During his father's lifetime he governed this territory and was made king of it by his father's will. In 1045 he annexed the territories belonging to his brother Gonzalo upon the latter's death. Ramiro later conquered some territory from the Moors and made the Moorish kings of Huesca, Saragossa, and Lérida his tributaries. [ ~0991 - 1035 Sancho III "The Great" García 44 44 Name Suffix:<NSFX> King Of Navarre
Sancho III Garcés, byname SANCHO THE GREAT, Spanish SANCHO EL MAYOR, or EL GRANDE (b. c. 992--d. Oct. 18, 1035), king of Pamplona (Navarre) from about 1000 to 1035, the son of García II (or III).
Sancho established Navarrese hegemony over all the Christian states of Spain at a time when the caliphate of Córdoba was in a state of turmoil. Sancho was uninterested in a crusade against the Moors, but he was interested in the expansion of Pamplona, which he began by the seizure of the ancient Frankish counties of Sobrarbe and Ribagorza (1016-19). A skilled politician, Sancho pursued his aims more by subversion than by force of arms. He persuaded the Count of Barcelona, Berenguer Ramón I, to accept him as overlord. Gascony did likewise, giving him direct sovereignty over Labourd. As a consequence of his marriage (1010) to Munia, daughter of Count Sancho García (d. 1017) of Castile, Sancho secured his own acceptance as count when Sancho García's son, the child Count García, was assassinated (1029). He then took up Castilian irredentist claims in eastern Leon and occupied the Leonese capital, where he was crowned (1034)--taking the imperial title. Sancho, who introduced some feudal practices into his new dominions, also encouraged the Cluniac reformers and established much closer contacts generally between Christian Spain and trans-Pyrenean Europe. In his will, however, he deliberately destroyed the empire he had created: he divided it into four kingdoms and left these to his four sons, thus making inevitable the fratricidal wars that followed his death. Sancho created the kingdom of Aragon and was responsible for the elevation of Castile from county to kingdom, though he transferred some Castilian territory to Pamplona, which he left to his eldest son, García III ~0964 - <0999 García II Sánchez 35 35 Name Suffix:<NSFX> King Of Navarre
king of Pamplona (Navarre) and of Aragon from about 994 to about 1000, son of Sancho II Garcés. Coming to the aid of besieged Castile, García fought against the Muslim forces of Abu 'Amir al-Mansur.

He then submitted to the caliphate, one of his daughters marrying the chief minister of Córdoba, Abu 'Amir al-Mansur, and becoming a Muslim. Sancho visited Córdoba in 992 to pay homage to al-Mansur.

A vague tradition had always assigned the title of emperor to the soverign who held Leon as the most direct representative of the Visigothic kings, who were themselves the representatives of the Roman empire. But though given in charters, and claimed by Alphonso VI and the Battler (Alphonso I, King of Aragon), the title had been little more than a flourish of rhetoric. Alphonso VII was crowned emperor in 1135, after the death of the Battler. The weakness of Aragon enabled him to make his superiority effective. He appears to have striven for the formation of a national unity, which Spain had never possessed since the fall of the Visigoth kingdom. The elements he had to deal with could not be welded together. Alphonso was at once a patron of the Church and a protector if not a favourer of the Mohammedans, who formed a part of his subjects. His reign ended in an unsuccessful campaign against the rising power of the Almohades. Though he was not actually defeated, his death in the Pass of Muradel in the Sierra Morena, while on his way back to Toledo, occurred in circumstances which showed that no man could be what he claimed to be---"king of the men of the two religions." His personal character does not stand out with the emphasis of those of Alphonso VI or the Battler. Yet he was a great king, the type and, to some extent, the victim of the confusions of his age---Christian in creed and ambition, but more than half oriental in his household 1081 - Mar 1124-1125 Princess Of Castile Urraca Urraca (b. 1077-81--d. March 8, 1126, Saldana, Castile [Spain]), queen of Leon and Castile from 1109 to 1126, daughter of Alfonso VI.
Urraca became her father's heiress when her brother, Sancho, was killed at Uclés (1108). She was the widow of Count Raymond of Burgundy, by whom she had had one son, Alfonso Ramírez (born 1104), the future Alfonso VII. To counterbalance--it was hoped--the dangers of a female succession during the Almoravid crisis, Urraca's marriage to her second cousin, Alfonso I of Aragon, was arranged (1109). This marriage, instead of producing political stability in Urraca's kingdom, led to years of anarchy. Urraca and her husband, according to the marriage settlement, became corulers in each other's lands, and Alfonso thereupon put Aragonese garrisons into many Leonese and Castilian cities. The notion of an Aragonese-Castilian political union was, however, premature, and although Urraca's municipalities tended to accept the Aragonese king, the magnates were hostile. Civil war broke out and continued for years, many supporting the claims of the child Alfonso Ramírez to the throne. Matters were further complicated by the temperamental incompatibility of Urraca and her husband, who soon quarreled. Urraca was tenacious of her right as proprietary queen and had not learnt chastity in the polygamous household of her father. Husband and wife quarrelled with the brutality of the age, and came to open war. Alphonso had the support of one section of the nobles who found their account in the confusion. Being a much better soldier than any of his opponents he gained victories at Sepúlveda and Fuente de la Culebra, but his only trustworthy supporters were his Aragonese who were not numerous enough to keep down Castile and Leon. Pope Paschal II, moreover, declared their marriage canonically invalid. They finally separated in 1114, though the Aragonese king continued for some years thereafter to keep his garrisons in Castile and to use the royal title.
Struggles also continued between nobles and municipalities, between rival bands of magnates, between the archbishops of Santiago and Toledo, and between the former, the bishop Diego Gelmírez, and Urraca herself. Alfonso Ramírez was crowned by Gelmírez in 1111, and his reign in Galicia began effectively -- despite Urraca's intermittent but active opposition--in 1116. Urraca's death in 1126 ended a disastrous episode in the medieval political history of Christian Spain ~1070 - Bet 1107 and 1108 Raymond Of Burgundy Name Suffix:<NSFX> Count Of Castile

Alfonso VI, byname ALFONSO THE BRAVE, Spanish ALFONSO EL BRAVO (b. before June 1040--d. 1109, Toledo, Castile), king of Leon (1065-70) and king of reunited Castile and Leon (1072-1109), who by 1077 had proclaimed himself "emperor of all Spain" (imperator totius Hispaniae). His oppression of his Muslim vassals led to the invasion of Spain by an Almoravid army from North Africa (1086). His name is also associated with the national hero of Spain, Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar (El Cid), who was alternatively his enemy and indifferent supporter.
Alfonso was the second son of King Ferdinand I and his wife Sancha; he was educated by Raimundo, later the bishop of Palencia, and by Pedro Ansúrez, the count of Carrión. On his death in 1065, Ferdinand left to Alfonso the kingdom of Leon together with tribute paid by the Muslim kingdom of Toledo. These possessions aroused the envious hostility of Alfonso's elder brother, Sancho II, who had inherited the kingdom of Castile and the tribute of Saragossa. Alfonso was defeated by his brother in two battles; after the defeat at Llantada (1068) he managed to retain his kingdom, but after that at Golpejera (1072) he was captured and exiled, living for a short while at the court of his vassal Ma
mun, the Muslim king of Toledo. Soon Alfonso's sister Urraca stirred up a rebellion in Leon, and Sancho besieged her in the walled city of Zamora. During the siege, he was killed, perhaps at Urraca's instigation. She was clearly on Alfonso's side, and some modern historians have even suggested that they had an incestuous relationship.
With Sancho's death, Alfonso recovered his own kingdom of Leon and inherited (1072) that of Castile. He also occupied Galicia, which Sancho had kept from their younger brother García; Alfonso kept García in prison until his death. A late story, in which it is alleged that Alfonso took an oath in St. Gadea's Church, Burgos, that he had had no share in Sancho's murder, probably reflects Castilian reluctance to accept him as king.
Alfonso's reign now entered on a period of success. He seized the Rioja and the Basque provinces and received the feudal homage of Sancho Ramírez for the region of Navarre to the north of the Ebro River. By 1077 he had assumed the title imperator totius Hispaniae, in which role other Christian kings accepted him. He then began the conquest of Toledo and, after a long siege, occupied it in May 1085. This was a vital conquest, which recovered for Christian Spain one of the most important historical, strategic, and cultural centres of the peninsula, one that had been in the possession of the Muslims since the early 8th century.
During this period Alfonso regularly exacted parias, heavy financial tributes, from the Muslim ta
ifah kingdoms in return for protection against their other enemies. By thus depriving them of their wealth, he hoped to weaken them so that they would eventually cede their independence without fighting. As a result of his exactions, Christian Spain was flooded with Muslim gold, which was spent on warfare and donations to shrines, churches, and monasteries. The demand for tribute caused the ta
ifah kings to tax their subjects heavily, producing popular discontent and disturbances and contributing to the weakness that caused the surrender of Toledo. The Muslim ruler al-Mu'tamid of Seville took a desperate decision and called for the help of Yusuf ibn Tashufin, the Almoravid (Berber) amir of North Africa, and his Saharan tribes. The Amir disembarked in Algeciras at the end of July 1086 and a few months later, on October 23 at Zallaqah, near Badajoz, inflicted a terrible defeat on Alfonso VI. Alfonso appealed for help to the rest of Christendom, and a small crusade was organized as a result; the crusaders did not reach Alfonso's lands but wasted their energies and resources in an unsuccessful siege of the Muslim outpost of Tudela.
The defeat at Zallaqah seriously lessened Alfonso's influence over the ta 1013 - 1067 Sancha Of León 54 54 Bet 1016 and 1018 - 1065 I Fernando Name Suffix:<NSFX> King Of Castile And Léon ~0995 - 1028 V Alfonso 33 33 Name Suffix:<NSFX> King Of León
It fell to ALPHONSO V (999-1027) to begin the work of reorganizing the Christian kingdom of the northwest after a most disastrous period of civil war and Arab inroads.

Casimir I, byname CASIMIR THE RESTORER, or THE MONK, Polish KAZIMIERZ ODNOWICIEL, or MNICH (b. July 25, 1016--d. at latest Nov. 28, 1058), duke of Poland who reannexed the formerly Polish provinces of Silesia, Mazovia, and Pomerania (all now in Poland), which had been lost during his father's reign, and restored the Polish central government.
Only surviving son of Duke Mieszko II and Richeza (Ryksa) of Palatine Lorraine, Casimir I, who had taken monastic orders, received papal dispensation and ascended the throne after his father's death (1034). In 1037 he was deposed; maneuvers of the magnates against his supremacy coincided with a popular revolt against the landowners and with an anti-Christian uprising by pagan tribes. Exiled to Germany, he won military aid from the German kings Conrad II and Henry III and by 1040 had regained his throne. He married the Russian princess Dobronega and, supported by her brother, the grand prince Yaroslav the Great of Kiev, regained the provinces of Mazovia and Pomerania in 1047. He took Silesia (1050) from the Bohemians, though he had to pay annual tribute to the Bohemian princes as compensation.
Casimir reestablished the Polish central government, revived the Roman Catholic church, and suppressed the pagan tribes that had helped to depose him. As ruler of Poland, however, he was never crowned king, and German suzerainty over Poland was, in fact, reestablished during his reign. 0990 - 1034 II Miescyslaw 44 44 Name Suffix:<NSFX> King Of Poland
Mieszko II Lambert (b. 990--d. May 10, 1034), king of Poland from 1025 to 1034, grandson of Mieszko I. Somewhat deranged (he died mad), he was dominated by his wife, the German Ryxa, and let the achievements of his father, Boleslaw I, crumble. Much territory was lost to Bohemia and to the Holy Roman Empire. At his death, Poland fell into anarchy. ~0967 - 1025 Boleslaw I "The Brave 58 58 Name Suffix:<NSFX> " King Of Poland
Boleslaw I, byname BOLESLAW THE BRAVE, Polish BOLESLAW CHROBRY (b. 966/967--d. June 17, 1025), duke (from 992) and then (from 1024) first king of Poland, who expanded his country's territory to include Pomerania, Lusatia, and, for a time, the Bohemian princely lands and made Poland a major European state. He also created a Polish church independent of German control.
Son of Mieszko I, the first of the Piast dukes, and the Bohemian princess Dobrawa (Dubravka), Boleslaw I inherited the principality of Great Poland (Wielkopolska, between the Oder and the Warta rivers) upon his father's death (992). He conquered Pomerania (on the Baltic Sea) in 996 and seized Kraków (formerly a Bohemian possession) soon afterward. He ransomed the relics of the martyred St. Adalbert, bishop of Prague, from the pagan Prussians and buried the relics at Gniezno. The Holy Roman emperor Otto III, who had been Adalbert's student and Boleslaw's ally since 992, attended the ceremony (March 1000) and marked the occasion by personally crowning Boleslaw king of Poland. With Pope Sylvester II's approval, the emperor granted Poland its own archdiocese, with Gniezno as its seat. Boleslaw then reorganized Poland's church structure, making it a national church directly under papal jurisdiction and independent of German ecclesiastical control.
After Emperor Otto III's death (1002), Boleslaw seized the imperial lands of Lusatia and Misnia (Meissen) and the principality of Bohemia. These actions started a series of three wars between him and the German king Henry II; it lasted until 1018, when, by the Treaty of Bautzen, Boleslaw retained Lusatia and Misnia and Henry II won Bohemia. Boleslaw's expansionist policy continued. When he defeated Grand Prince Yaroslav I the Wise of Kiev in battle (July 21, 1018) and placed his own son-in-law (and Yaroslav's brother), Svyatopolk, on the Kievan throne, his control extended from the western tributaries of the middle Elbe to the eastern reach of the Western Bug River. Though recognized as king by Otto III in 1000, Boleslaw sought to strengthen his position and his independence from imperial control by being crowned again by the archbishop of Gniezno (Dec. 25, 1024).

Otto II (b. 955--d. Dec. 7, 983, Rome), German king from 961 and Holy Roman emperor from 967, sole ruler from 973, son of Otto I and his second wife, Adelaide.
Otto continued his father's policies of promoting a strong monarchy in Germany and of extending the influence of his house in Italy. In 961 he was crowned co-regent king of Italy and Germany with his father and was made co-regent emperor in 967. On April 14, 972, he married the Byzantine princess Theophano. At his father's death in 973 he was accepted without opposition as successor, although revolts in the duchy of Bavaria and in Lorraine occupied the early years of his reign. Bavaria, the most independent of the duchies, rebelled in 974, under the leadership of its duke, Henry II the Quarrelsome, Otto's cousin. It was not until 978 that Bavaria was pacified, the same year that Lothair, king of France, invaded Lorraine. In 979 Otto received the submission of Bohemia and Poland, and in 980 Lothair renounced his claim to Lorraine. Having thus secured his German dominions, Otto marched into Italy in 980, where German rule had been maintained by an imperial party headed by Hugh, marquis of Tuscany. Otto invaded southern Italy and was decisively defeated there by the Arabs in 982. In 983 he summoned a diet at Verona, where his young son, Otto III, was crowned German king. Otto II died in 983 while attempting to bring Venice under imperial control. His absence from Germany had occasioned revolts along its borders, and after his defeat in Calabria in 982 the German position east of the Elbe collapsed because of a revolt by the Danes and an invasion by the Slavs. Nonetheless, Otto left a firmly established realm to his son and successor Otto III 23 Nov 912 - 27 May 973 Otto I "The Great Name Suffix:<NSFX> " Holy Roman Emperor
Otto I, byname OTTO THE GREAT, German OTTO DER GROSSE (b. Nov. 23, 912--d. May 7, 973, Memleben, Thuringia), duke of Saxony (as Otto II, 936-961), German king (from 936), and Holy Roman emperor (962-973), who consolidated the German Reich by his suppression of rebellious vassals and his decisive victory over the Hungarians. His use of the church as a stabilizing influence created a secure empire and stimulated a cultural renaissance.
Early years.
Otto was the son of the future king Henry I, of the Liudolfing, or Saxon, dynasty, and his second wife, Matilda. Little is known of his early years, but he probably shared in some of his father's campaigns. He married Edith, daughter of the English king Edward the Elder, in 930; she obtained as her dowry the flourishing town of Magdeburg. Nominated by Henry as his successor, Otto was elected king by the German dukes at Aachen on Aug. 7, 936, a month after Henry's death, and crowned by the archbishops of Mainz and Cologne.
While Henry I had controlled his vassal dukes only with difficulty, the new king firmly asserted his suzerainty over them. This led immediately to war, especially with Eberhard of Franconia and his namesake, Eberhard of Bavaria, who were joined by discontented Saxon nobles under the leadership of Otto's half-brother Thankmar. Thankmar was defeated and killed, the Franconian Eberhard submitted to the King, and Eberhard of Bavaria was deposed and outlawed. In 939, however, Otto's younger brother Henry revolted; he was joined by Eberhard of Franconia and by Giselbert of Lotharingia and supported by the French king Louis IV. Otto was again victorious: Eberhard fell in battle, Giselbert was drowned in flight, and Henry submitted to his brother. Nevertheless, in 941 Henry joined a conspiracy to murder the King. This was discovered in time, and, whereas the other conspirators were punished, Henry was again forgiven. Thenceforward he remained faithful to his brother and, in 947, was given the dukedom of Bavaria. The other German dukedoms were likewise bestowed on relatives of Otto.
Foreign conquests.
Despite these internal difficulties, Otto found time to strengthen and to extend the frontiers of the kingdom. In the east the margraves Gero and Hermann Billung were successful against the Slavs, and their gains were consolidated by the founding of the Monastery of St. Maurice in Magdeburg, in 937, and of two bishoprics, in 948. In the north, three bishoprics (followed in 968 by a fourth) were founded to extend the Christian mission in Denmark. Otto's first campaign in Bohemia was, however, a failure, and it was not until 950 that the Bohemian prince Boleslav I was forced to submit and to pay tribute.
Having thus strengthened his own position, Otto could not only resist France's claims to Lorraine (Lotharingia) but also act as mediator in France's internal troubles. Similarly, he extended his influence into Burgundy. Moreover, when the Burgundian princess Adelaide, the widowed queen of Italy whom the margrave Berengar of Ivrea had taken prisoner, appealed to him for help, Otto marched into Italy in 951, assumed the title of king of the Lombards, and married Adelaide himself, his first wife having died in 946. In 952 Berengar did homage to him as his vassal for the kingdom of Italy.
Otto had to break off his first Italian campaign because of a revolt in Germany, where Liudolf, his son by Edith, had risen against him with the aid of several magnates. Otto found himself compelled to withdraw to Saxony; but the position of the rebels began to deteriorate when the Magyars invaded Germany in 954, for the rebels could now be accused of complicity with the enemies of the Reich. After prolonged fighting, Liudolf had to submit in 955. This made it possible for Otto to defeat the Magyars decisively in the Battle of the Lechfeld, near Augsburg, in August 955; they never invaded Germany again. In the same year Otto and the margrave Gero also  UNKNOWN Unknown Still Living. ~0925 - 0999 Princess Of Germany Richilde 74 74 Daughter Of Kuno Name Suffix:<NSFX> Count Of Ohningen

Bretislav I, byname BRETISLAV THE RESTORER, Czech BRETISLAV OBNOVITEL (b. 1005?--d. Jan. 10, 1055), prince of Bohemia from 1034 to 1055, who permanently attached the province of Moravia to Bohemia.
Bretislav succeeded his father, Oldrich, to the Bohemian throne after a period of dynastic struggles. He proceeded to win back lands that earlier had been lost to Poland, regaining in two great campaigns not only all of Moravia but also Silesia and Kraków. He also captured Poznan and Gniezno, but his ambitions for a greater West Slav nation troubled the Holy Roman emperor Henry III, who mounted an armed invasion and compelled Bretislav to evacuate all of Poland except Silesia (which nevertheless was returned to Poland some years later). Bretislav's efforts to regain Slovakia from Hungary were unsuccessful, it did not return to Czech control until 1918).
To obviate the incessant struggles that had endangered Bohemia at every vacancy of the throne, Bretislav, with the consent of the nobles, decreed that the oldest member of the house of Premysl should be the ruler of Bohemia. Bretislav was therefore succeeded first by his eldest son, Spytihnev II (1031-61), and then by his second son, Vratislav II ~0975 - 1034 Duke Of Bohemia Udalrich 59 59 A Concubine Bozena Still Living.

Boleslav II, byname BOLESLAV THE PIOUS, Czech BOLESLAV POBOZNÝ (d. Feb. 7, 999), prince of Bohemia (967-999), the son and successor of Boleslav I. He successfully continued his father's work by further consolidating the supremacy of the Czechs over the other Bohemian tribes and by founding monasteries, nunneries, and capitular churches.
Boleslav II secured the establishment of the bishopric of Prague in 973 or 974, under the metropolitan authority of the archbishops of Mainz. He treacherously but completely destroyed the Slavnikovci, the only princely rivals of the Premyslid dynasty in Bohemia, in 995. He was usually loyal to his suzerains, the Holy Roman emperors Otto I, II, and III, whom he helped in their conflicts with the Polish princes, though his support of the rebellious duke of Bavaria, Henry the Wrangler, caused Otto II to lead punitive expeditions against him in 975 and 977-978 Judith Von Schweinfurt Still Living.

Fergus was the first Scottish based King of Dalriada, a country split by the sea, with a base in Ireland (the area of now County Antrim, Ireland) and territory also in the western portions of what is now Scotland.
There are two legends concerning the origins of Scottish Dalriada (also known as Scotia Minor). One tells of a famine that caused the tribe of the Dal Riada to move into northern Ireland and parts of western Scotland. The other says that the Dal Riada moved north in Ireland because of famine and then aligned themselves with the Picts in Northern Ireland, thus gaining the right to settle in the Pict land of Caledonia (now called Scotland).
In either case the settlement of Alba by the Irish Scotti apparently started around the second century AD. By the late fourth century, the Scotti had attained enough strength to draw the attention of the Picts. They were soon attacked and in retaliation Niall of the Nine Hostages, the High King of Ireland, landed with a sizeable force to punish the Picts. The little colony of Scottish Dalriada was saved and slowly gained strength over the next one hundred years. It is during the late fifth century that Fergus Mor (Big or Chief?) Mac (son of) Erc arrived in Scottish Dalriada.
Fergus Mor was the son of Erc, King of Irish Dalriada. By right, Fergus became King of Dalriada in about 498 AD. He soon moved his seat of power from Ireland to Scotland.  The reasons for this are sketchy, some claim it was due to pressure that forced the move to protect his kingdom. While others say that Scottish Dalriada was beginning to feel its oats and Fergus moved to maintain control of his kingdom. In either case, when he arrived, Fergus brought with him a large Niallan host of warriors and all the trappings of the kingdom. The Stone of Destiny, also known as the Stone of Scone is said to have been one of those items.
With his arrival, Scottish Dalriada or Scotia Minor was now a force to be reckoned with. Fergus consolidated his power in the new lands until his death in c. 501 AD. His successors continued his efforts until c. 576, when Dalriada was strong enough to petition and successfully split from its mother country in Ireland. This seat of power eventually combined with the Empire of the Picts and later with Strathclyde and Lothian to form the modern country of Scotland. ~0400 - ~0474 King Of Irish Dalriada Erc 74 74 The Irish Kings of Dalriada
(to 501 A.D.)
Around the time the Romans were in Britain (55 B.C. to 409 A.D.), there were two races occupying what is today Scotland: the Picts and the Britons. These Celtic peoples had successfully resisted the Roman legions, and what the Romans called Caledonia was never incorporated into the Empire. As a result, very little is known about these early inhabitants, apart from brief descriptions by Roman writers. As the Romans withdrew from Britain, these north islanders were faced with new invaders. These were the Scots from Ireland, and the Angles from Germany. It is with the Scots that we are concerned, for it is they who finally succeeded in conquering Scotland, uniting its peoples and giving them their line of kings. From these Scots we can also trace the descent of what became the Clan MacKay.
The Scots came from a kingdom in Ireland which was known as Dalriada. This kingdom corresponded roughly with the modern County Antrim in Northern Ireland. Very little is known about the kings of Dalriada apart from their names. These are found in two mediæval sources, the Book of Ballymote and the Pedigree of the Scottish Kings. It should be noted that these sources were not written contemporaneously with the events which they describe. Often, they are copies of original material which is now lost to us, and they were written centuries after the fact. It is difficult to verify the information they give with supporting evidence, which makes the accuracy of that information doubtful. The list of the kings of Dalriada should therefore be regarded as legendary.
The Book of Ballymote gives 38 names in its genealogy, all presented as the direct line of kings. It begins with the name Angus Turbech of Tara. Tara, incidentally, is the ancient hall of the High Kings of Ireland. It is on a hill in County Meath, Eire, and its mention in a list of Kings of Dalriada implies that the Dalriada, or "race of Riada," are descended from the High Kings. The genealogy ends with the name of Fergus, the son of Erc. With Erc we are on firmer ground: he was a king of Dalriada who died around 501 A.D.. If the list is correct (and this is most unlikely), then his ancestor, Angus Turbech of Tara, would have ruled sometime around 700 B.C.. The Pedigree of the Scottish Kings contains 25 names, and differs somewhat from the Book of Ballymote. The last eight names, though, from Sen-chormac to Fergus, are the same. The two lists of the kings of Dalriada will be found in Table 1.
The Dalriada crossed the North Channel from Ireland to Kintyre in Scotland, eventually establishing a kingdom around Argyll. The first record of this migration is in 258 A.D., when the Romans noted that Scots from the north attacked south as far as London. In time, the Dalriadan kingdom in Scotland overshadowed that in Ireland, and the kings made their home in Argyll, in its ancient capital of Dunadd. Around the year 500 A.D., the two sons of Erc, Fergus and Loarn, were kings of Dalriada in Scotland.

They w ere recorded as living there in 1124 during the reign of the Scottish King David I, toward whom they stood in no little influence. The Vrijheeren of the Barony of Quarles were distinguished as royal diplomats seated in Edinburgh, as their contempo raries have noted.
William Quarles left Scotland in 1420, and was able to establish himself in England, in Northamptonshire, where he married Catharine, heiress of the ancient House of Ufford. During the reign of Edward I (1272-1307), the Uffords were called to hi s Parliament as Barons, and under Edward III (1327-1377) were Dukes of Suffolk. Some of this family became Under-Kings of Ireland.
"William Quarles, who through his marriage had become heir to his father-in-law's Ufford estates, took his name for himself and his descendents. Among these, some kept the additional name of Ufford, while others eventually bore only the name Quarl es. He died during the reign of King Henry VI (1422-1461)."
The East Anglian says that William of Ufford was of the time of Henry V which was from Mar 21, 1413 to Aug 31, 1422. ~1390 Catharine Of Ufford ~1523 Dorothy Darrell 1563 John Quarles John was born in 1563 and married Elizabeth Billingsley, daughter of the Lord Mayor of London in 1590 (1). He became very wealthy and 15 Feb 1577 registered his coat of arms (1). He was member of the Virginia company in 1609 (1). In June 1601 he was said to be overseas (1).

This Gilbert happened to be at York, anno 1069, and had a narrow escape when the Danes in great force, on behalf of Edgar Etheling, entered the mouth of the Humber and, marching upon that city, committed lamentable destruction by fire and sword, there being more than 3,000 Normans slain. Like most of the great lords of his time, Gilbert de Gant disgorged to the church a part of the spoil which he had seized, and amongst other acts of piety restored Bardney Abbey, co.

engagement, Robert II was one of the commanders of Duke Robert's army, along
with William, Earl of Mortain; Robert de Belesme, William Crispin and William
de Ferrers. King Henry's forces prevailed and these noblemen, except Robert de
Belesme, were captured. Belesme was in the rear of the army and fled when he
saw the outcome of the battle was in doubt, "treacherously abondoning his
partisans to their fate." Sent to England, thrown into dungeons and condemned
to perpetual punishment were Henry's brother Robert; his nephew, William, earl
of Mortain; Robert d'Estouteville and several others, according to Orderic
Vital. Henry " was inflexible in his resolution to treat them all with
severity and consequently withstood all the influence of entreaties, promises,
and gifts from many quarters employed to mollify his resentment." Some of them,
including his nephew, Earl William de Mortain, are reported to have had their
"eyes torn out" and to have been "exposed to horrible and long-continued
cruelties."

1085 of the castle of Ambrieres, which he held against Geoffrey Martel, until
relieved by Duke William. He died about 1090 and was succeeded by his son
Robert. The father and son have frequently been confused.

The origin of Flanders lies in the pagus Flandrensis, an area composed of Bruges and its immediate environs under the administration of the Frankish empire. Thus, in the early European Middle Ages Flanders shared the institutions of the Frankish kingdom. With the decay of these institutions under the later Carolingians, the country became feudalized and was ruled by powerful princes--wealthy landowners--who sought to expand their territory by force of arms and to safeguard it by building castles. The population, though united under a common rule, was far from homogeneous. In the southernmost area it was mainly Gallo-Roman and Romance-speaking; farther north the Frankish settlement had been denser, so that the language was Germanic; and the coastal areas had been settled with people of Saxon and Frisian origin, of a less civilized way of life. The counts effectively united these peoples into one nation. From the 12th century onward, the counts substituted for the old feudal structure an orderly administration and fiscal organization, set up a centralized judicial system (using Roman law), and began extensive legislation. One of the main starting points of this development was the safeguarding of public order by the counts (pax comitis). The role of Philip of Alsace was capital in this field. He gave to a great number of towns charters (keuren), the contents of which varied little and which all went back to the charter of Arras of 1157-63. At the same time, but quite distinctly, the commune movement developed. This led to the establishment in the numerous, wealthy towns of a town government with a considerable measure of independence. The towns were ruled by aldermen who were administrators and judges at the same time. The constitutional history of Flanders is largely that of the struggle for supremacy between comital and communal authority. Finally the central authority was victorious, and in the 16th century monarchical authority was firmly established. Representative institutions (estates) had grown up around the counts, especially from the 14th century onward; they were largely controlled by the three main towns of Ghent, Bruges, and Ypres.

In the time of Cæsar, Flanders was inhabited by the Morini, Atrebates, and other Celtic tribes, but in the centuries that followed, the land was repeatedly overrun by German invaders and finally became a part of the dominion of the Franks. On the breakup of the Carolingian empire, the River Scheldt was, by the Treaty of Verdun (843), made the line of division between the Kingdom of East Francia (Austrasia) under the Emperor Lothaire, and the Kingdom of West Francia (Neustria) under Charles the Bald. In virtue of this compact, Flanders was henceforth attached to the West Frankish monarchy (France). It thus acquired a position unique among the provinces of the territory known in later times as the Netherlands, all of which were included in that northern part of Austrasia assigned on the death of the Emperor Lothaire (855) to King Lothaire II, and from his name called Lotharingia or Lorraine.
Baldwin I, by name BALDWIN IRON-ARM, French BAUDOUIN BRAS-DE-FER, Dutch BOUDEWIJN DE IJZERE ARM (d. 879), the first ruler of Flanders. A daring warrior under Charles II the Bald of France , he fell in love with the King's daughter Judith, the youthful widow of two English kings, married her (862), and fled with his bride to Lorraine. Charles, though at first angry, was at last conciliated, and made his son-in-law margrave (Marchio Flandriae) of Flanders (864), which he held as a heredit Hugo De Calavcamp Still Living.

Conn is also known as Conn of the 100 Battles or the 100 Treaties. His grandfather was Tuathal Teachtmar, the Irish High King who made Connacht the Supreme province of the five in Ireland at the time.
Conn's name is unusual and according to legend, portions were given late in life or after his death. Conn Cead-Cathach means Conn (speed, virtue, champion), Cead (one hundred) and Cathach (of Battles). Conn also had an older meaning that is referred to as dog, or a warrior with the fighting qualities of a dog.
Little is known of Conn's youth and he did not succeed his father in rule. Between Fedhlimidh and Conn ruled Cathair Mor. Cathair was defeated in a great battle by Conn in Meath. He then took the reigns as Ard-Righ or High King.
During Conn's lifetime he certainly lived up to his name, fighting numerous battles most of which were against Mogh Nuadat of Munster.
The Ithians and Eberians alternately ruled the province of Munster in an arrangement that worked peacefully until the Earnaan arrived. The Earnaan had been forced out of Ulster and applied for land in Munster to King Duach who gracefully assented. But the Earnaan did not repay their host's kindness and instead, took control of the province. The Eberians revolted and attempted to regain their territory. Conn, the High King, sent aid to the Earnaan but even with his help they lost the battle.
The Eberian King Mogh Nuadat then sallied forth against Conn himself to address Eberian grievances, but he was defeated and forced to retreat to Spain. There he married Beara, daughter of Heber Mor, King of Castile. Later, with the Castillian King's support Mogh Nuadat returned to Ireland with 2,000 troops under the command of Fraech, the King's son, to claim the throne. Conn and his allies fought valiantly, but after 10 battles were forced to relinquish one half (the southern half) of Ireland to Mogh Nuadat.
But Mogh Nuadat was not satisfied and soon ventured north against Conn again. This time, Conn attacked the enemy army at night hoping for surprise. All with him joined in the attack except for the forces of Goll MacMorna, who had vowed never to attack an enemy by surprise. The attack took place and was on the point of failing when the sun rose and Goll's forces joined the fray. Fresh and unhindered by the darkness they turned the tide of the battle and defeated Mogh's forces. In the process Mogh Nuadat and Fraech, the Castillian King's son, were killed.
After the battle Conn gave one of his daughters to his ally in marriage and another to the son of Mogh Nuadat thus permanently linking the Ithians, Eberians, Deagades and his own people, the Eremonians, through family alliances. For his crime of the night attack and the unfair slaying of Mogh, Conn was forced by the High Judges to pay a fine of his own jewelry, sword and shield, as well as 200 each of steeds, chariots, ships, spears, swords, cows, and slaves. Although the price was high, Conn was alive and still High King.
As his name implies, Conn faced many more battles in his lifetime. He is also rumoured to have a hand in the colonization of Scottish Dalriada or Scotia Minor. He was finally killed at Tara in approximately 157 AD when the King of Ulster sent 50 robbers dressed as women to dispatch the monarch. Conn's son Conaire II then took the reins as High King of Ireland. ~0119 Fedhlimidh Rachtmar Tuathal Teachtmar Still Living. 1850 Wilhelm Moessner 1833 Johann Moessner 1841 Johann Georg Moessner 1833 Salome Moessner ~1782 Johann Moessner ~1782 Salome Birmelin 1803 Maria Barbara Moessner ~1717 Matern Moessner ~1717 Magdalena Birmelin 1743 Helena Moessner 1737 Anna Maria Moessner 1738 Matern Moessner 1741 Matern Moessner ~1700 Matern Moessner ~1700 Catharina Bischer 1720 Catharina Moessner ~1784 Johann Georg Moessner ~1784 Maria Salome Blum 1808 Johann Jakob Moessner 1819 Anna Maria Moessner 1804 Johann Georg Moessner 1817 Johann Moessner 1810 Maria Salome Moessner 1813 Maria Barbara Moessner ~1854 Friedrich Georg Moessner ~1854 Maria Magdalena Bockstahler Karl Moessner Still Living. 1877 Anna Maria Moessner 1875 Georg Friedrich Moessner Albert Moessner Still Living. 1881 Catharina Moessner 1879 Maria Magdalena Moessner Wilhelm Moessner Still Living. 1883 Rosina Moessner 1797 Johann Jakob Moessner ~1800 Christina Boehl ~1753 Martin Moessner ~1800 Johann Jakob ~1800 Rosine Boek ~1793 Johann Georg Moessner ~1793 Anna Mariua Boll 1822 Wilhelm Moessner 1829 Catharina Moessner 1818 Johann Moessner 1820 Anna Maria Moessner 1813 Johann Georg Moessner 1815 Johann Moessner ~1740 Johann Georg Moessner` ~1740 Catharina Boll 1765 Anna Catharina Moessner 1763 Anna Maria Moessner 1773 Barbara Moessner 1781 Georg Friedrich Moessner 1762 Johann Jakob Moessner 1768 Johann Georg Moessner 1771 Johann Moessner 1773 Magdalena Moessner 1783 Martin Moessner ~1765 Matern Moessner ~1765 Barbara Breysach 1787 Maria Barbara Moessner 1795 Johann Georg Moessner 1802 Christina Moessner 1789 Anna Maria Moessner 1799 Anna Maria Moessner ~1763 Wilhelm Moessner ~1763 Catharina Breysach 1793 Johann Moessner 1786 Catharina Moessner 1796 Anna Maria Moessner 1799 Johann Wilhelm Moessner 1792 Maria Barbara Moessner 1806 Wilhelm Moessner ~1810 Wilhelm Moessner ~1810 Anna Maria Brucker 1834 Friedrich Moessner 1831 Johann Georg Moessner 1838 Johann Moessner 1836 Christian Moessner ~1805 Wilhelm Moessner ~1805 Barbara Buehler 1836 Georg Friedrich Moessner 1842 Johann Jakob Moessner 1826 Matthias Moessner ~1705 Jakob Moessner ~1705 Eva Carle 1727 Johann Jakob Moessner ~1743 Johann Georg Mueller ~1743 Maria Catharina Carle 1771 Anna Maria Mueller 1769 Jakob Mueller 1779 Johann Mueller 1776 Catharina Mueller 1782 Wilhelm Mueller 1785 Martin Mueller 1767 Johann Georg Mueller 1769 Johann Jakob Mueller ~1732 Johann Georg Moessner ~1732 Magdalena Constanzer ~1640 Johann Moessner ~1640 Maria Dioss 1657 Martin Moessner 1658 Johann Moessner 1660 Johann Georg Moessner 1667 Johann Christian Moessner 1668 Johann Moessner ~1726 Johann Jakob Moessner ~1726 Barbara Dittinger 1747 Andreas Moessner ~1733 Joachim Moessner ~1733 Barbara Duesser ~1724 Johann Georg Moessner ~1724 Catherina Duverna 1749 Anna Maria Moessner 1752 Jakob Moessner 1747 Johann Georg Moessner 1754 Johann Moessner 1756 Johann Georg Moessner 1759 Johann Wilhelm Moessner ~1697 Moessner Moessner ~1697 Anna Maria Erismann 1717 Mathern Moessner ~1724 Matern Moessner ~1724 Anna Maria Ernst 1752 Anna Eva Moessner 1761 Barbara Moessner 1748 Anna Maria Moessner 1750 Catharina Moessner 1758 Magdalena Moessner 1745 Johann Georg Moessner ~1812 Matthias Moessner ~1812 Anna Maria Fuchs 1837 Jakob Moessner 1845 Adam Moessner 1828 Anna Maria Moessner 1834 Maria Barbara Moessner 1832 Salome Moessner 1846 Wilhelm Moessner 1842 Georg Friedrich Moessner 1836 Catharina Moessner 1840 Matthias Moessner ~1828 Matthias Moessner ~1828 Anna Katharina Goepfert 1849 Matthias Moessner 1853 Wilhelm Moessner ~1809 Georg Moessner ~1809 Anna Maria Graf 1830 Anna Maria Moessner 1827 Johann Georg Moessner ~1829 Wilhelm Moessner ~1829 Katharina Graf 1851 Friedrich Moessner ~1692 Mathern Moessner ~1692 Anna Maria Greblinger 1713 Johann Moessner ~1788 Matern Moessner ~1788 Barbara Grosskopf 1811 Salome Moessner ~1693 Mathern Moessner ~1693 Anna Maria Grossman 1713 Barbara Moessner ~1747 Martin Moessner ~1747 Catharina Guegler 1768 Anna Maria Moessner 1769 Johann Georg Moessner 1770 Johann Moessner ~1846 Ludwig Wilhelm Moessner ~1846 Anna Katharina Gumpert 1865 Herman Moessner 1869 Albert Moessner 1872 Anna Katharina Moessner 1864 Ludwig Wilhelm Moessner ~1753 Katharina Herbst 1777 Johann Georg Moessner 1773 Catharina Moessner 1780 Martin Moessner 1790 Wilhelm Moessner 1693 Maria Eva Moessner ~1715 Anna Maria Mattmueller 1743 Anna Barbara Moessner 1741 Johann Georg Moessner 1748 Johann Jakob Moessner 1755 Maria Magdalena Moessner ~1665 UNKNOWN Barbara 1691 Simon Moessner 1685 Martin Moessner Living Riemann Living Gere Living Gere Generated by GenoPro®.
