# Note:

    The 2nd Butler, who died in France, married twice. Through his first wife, Joan (daughter of Geoffrey de Marreis, Justiciar of Ireland), who probably died in childbirth, their descendant, the 3rd Earl of Ormond inherited further considerable estates in Ireland and England. Through his second wife, Rohesia, the 2nd Butler was the forefather of the Lords de Verdon who, however, did not retain the surname Butler. It needed a King to persuade Rohesia to marry a Butler! For in 1225 Henry III personally requested her to marry his "beloved Theobald le Botiller". [Butler Family History]

Theobald le Botiller, also known as Theobald Butler, 2nd Baron Butler, was born in January, 1200 to Theobald Walter, 1st Baron Butler and Maud le Vavasour. He was born in Norfolk, East Anglia, England.
The Kingdom of England was at the time under the reign of John of England. Theobald was 16 years old when said King died on October 18/October 19, 1216. John was succeeded by his son Henry III of England who was actually even younger than Theobald.
He had livery of his lands on 2 July 1221.
After the death of his first wife Joan de Mareis, Theobald remained a widower. Henry III requested the marriage of Theobald to Rohese de Verdon, daughter of Nicholas de Verdon of Alton, Staffordshire and Clemence. The agreement to marriage occured on 4 September 1225. The marriage is presumed to have shortly followed. This was the second marriage for both Theobald and Rohese.
Theobald was summoned "cum equis et armis" to attend the King into Brittany, as "Theobaldus Pincerna" on 26 October 1229. He died on 19 July 1230 in Poitou, France, at the age 30 years.1
Theobald, 2nd Baron Butler was buried in the Abbey of Arklow, County Wicklow, Leinster, Ireland.
His daughter Maude le Botiller was married to John FitzAlan, 6th Earl of Arundel and was mother of John FitzAlan, 7th Earl of Arundel.
(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Theobald Butler or le Botiller, only son and heir of Theobald Walter or Butler, le Botiller, was aged six years in 1206. He had livery of his estates July 2, 1221, and July 18, 1222. He was summoned "cum equis et arms" to attend the King into Brittany Oct. 26, 1229, as Theobaldus Pincerna. He married 1st Joan, sister and coheir of John du Marais, daughter of Geoffrey de Marais, Justiciar. He married 2nd shortly after Sept. 4, 1225, when the King requests such marriage, Rohese, only daughter and heir of Nicholas de Verdon of Alton, County Stafford, which Roesia was heiress of Croxden, etc., and foundress of Grace Dieu Monastery, County Leicester.
At the time of her (Roesia) father's death she appears to have been a widow, as her husband, Theobald, died July 19, 1230, in Poitou, in France, and was buried in the Abbey of Arklow. Roesia died probably before Feb. 22, 1246/7, or one reference says she died 1248, leaving issue John, her heir, Humphrey, rector of Alveton, Nicholas, Theobald and a daughter Maud, who married John FitzAlan.

1st Baron Butler
Theobald Walter, the eldest son, attended King Henry II into France when that Prince came to an agreement with the French King on the behalf of Thomas a' Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, who was murdered 28 December, 1171. The next year he accompanied the King into Ireland, where he served in the reduction of the kingdom, and being rewarded with large possessions, made it his place of residence, having also conferred upon him the Butlership of Ireland in the year 1177, whereby he and his successors were to attend the Kings of England at their Coronation, and that day present him with the first cup of wine, for which they were to have certain pieces of the King's plate. In 1185 he was witness to a charter of King John, then Earl of Moreton. In 1st of Richard I, 1189, he accepted the pipe-roll 72œ 6s 8d of the scutage of the Knights of the Honour of Lancaster. He was a person of large possessions in England and Ireland, being a Baron in both kingdoms. He founded and endowed many religious places. He died 1206 and was buried in a tomb made for him in Wotheney Abbey. He married Maud. daughter and heir to Robert de Vavasour, a great Baron of Yorkshire (with whom he had the Manors of Edlington and Newborough and the lands of Bolton) and by her, who afterwards married Fulk FitzWarin (from whom John Whitney descends), had one son, Theobald, and a daughter, Beatrice.
(Kin of Mellcene Thurman Smith, page 945)
 1130 Hervey Walter Hervius Walter, sometimes called Henry, continued the name of Walter, as did his descendants down to Edmond, Earl of Carrick. Edmond dropped the surname because with his title of Earl the Christian name only was to be used with the title. He married Maud, eldest daughter of Theobald de Valoins, and had 5 sons: Theobald, the first Butler of Ireland, Hubert, Walter, Roger and Hamon.

Hazelwood, Yorkshire, England
1231
Robert Vavasour of Haselwood A vavasour was the vassal or tenant of a baron, one who held their tenancy under a baron, and who also had tenants under him.

Sir Robert le Vavasour, High Sheriff of Nottingham, 21st of Henry III, 1236, and of Derby from 1247 to 1254. King John in the 5th of his reign, 1204, granted him free warren in Werverdale, and that he might there make a park if he pleased; he had likewise the custody of the Honour of Peverel. In the 9th of King John he paid a fine of 1200 marks and two palfreys that his daughter Maud, then widow of Theobald Walter, might be married to Fulke FitzWarine. Robert le Vavasour died 38th of Henry III, 1254. (It seems that King John made Robert le Vavasour and Fulke FitzWarine both pay him 1200 marks and two palfreys for the marriage of Maud and Fulke.) Robert le Vavasour married Juliana, daughter of Thomas de Ros of Steeton, County York.

Nicholas de Verdon, 5th son, who died 1231. In the 6th of John he paid to the King œ100, as also a courser and palfrey, for livery of those lands in Ireland, whereof his father died possessed. But in twelve years afterwards he took part with the rebellious barons, whereupon all his lands were seized by special precepts from the Crown to all sheriffs of Warwick, Leicester, Stafford, Lincoln, Bucks and Oxford Counties, and placed in the custody of William de Canteloupe during the King's pleasure. On his submission to King Henry III those lands were restored to him in the first year of that monarch, 1216, and he appears afterwards to have enjoyed the favour of the King. He died 1231, leaving by Joan ..... (one reference said FitzPiers), his wife, an only daughter and heiress, Roesia.

Bertram de Verdon, eldest son, was Sheriff of Leicester from 16th to 30th of Henry II's reign, inclusive. He subsequently attended King Richard I to the Holy Land and was at the siege of Acon, which place, upon its surrender, was committed to his custody. This Bertram founded the Abbey of Croxden in County Stafford, anno 1776, and was otherwise a liberal benefactor to the church. He married 1st Maud, daughter of Robert Ferrers, Earl of Derby, by whom he had no issue, and 2ndly, Roesia ....., but of what family is unknown. He died at Joppa 4th of Richard I in 1192, having had issue William, died sine prole, in 1199, Thomas, Bertram, Robert, Nicholas and Walter. His son Thomas succeeded him, but died sine prole in 1199, and was succeeded by his brother, Nicholas.
(Kin of Mellcene Thurman Smith, page 419-420)

He lived at time of Henry II. This Bertram built the medieval castle of Alton in 1176 and founded the cistercian abbey of Croxden. Bertram was a deeply religious man accompanying king Henry on his pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostella in North of Spain. After the John's first expedition to Ireland, Bertram held the town of Dundalk and several castles in Louth.
After Henry’s death Bertram remained an influential figure with Richard I and became his castellan. He went on the Third Crusade with Richard, was governor of Saint-John of Acre, and was killed at Jaffa in 1191.

He was the son of Rudolf I, king of Upper Burgundy]].

Following his ascension to the throne in 912, Rudolf was asked by several Italian nobles to intervene in Italy on their behalf against Emperor Berengar in 922. Having entering Italy, he was crowned King of the Lombards at Pavia. In 923, he defeated Berengar at Piacenza; Berengar was murdered the following year, possibly at the instigation of Rudolf. The king then ruled Upper Burgundy and Italy together, residing alternately in both kingdoms. However, in 926 the Italian nobility turned against him and requested that Hugh of Arles, the effective ruler of Provence (or Lower Burgundy), rule them instead. Rudolf returned to Upper Burgundy to protect himself, assuring Hugh's coronation as King of Italy in the process. The Italians then switched sides again, declaring that they wished for Rudolf to reclaim the throne. To prevent this, Hugh and Rudolf signed a treaty in 933, granting Rudolf rule of Lower Burgundy in exchange for his renunciation of all claims on the Italian throne.

Later in that year he was among the Royalists who promised to observe the award of Louis of France touching the Provisions of Oxford. During the conflict between Simon de Montfort and the Crown John followed the King. In August 1265, after the Royal victory at Evesham, he was Keeper of Odiharn Castle, Hants; in October following he wrote, with others, to report to the King the surrender of London; and in February 1265/6 he was appointed to protect Worcestershire from the attacks of the rebels in Kenilworth Castle.

    He married, 1stly, before 14 May 1244, Margery, 1st daughter of Gilbert DE LACY, of Ewyas Lacy, co. Hereford, by Isabel, daughter of Hugh (LE BIGOD), EARL OF NORFOLK, which Gilbert (who died v.p. between 12 August and 25 December 1230) was son and heir ap. of Walter de Lacy, Lord of Meath (who died s.p.m.s. shortly before 24 February 1240/1), to whom Margery was coheir. He married, 2ndly, before 1267, Eleanor (f). He is said to have died 21 October 1274. His widow was living, 10 June 1278. [Complete Peerage XII/2:246-8, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

    [a] Besides Alton her great inheritance in England and Ireland included Brandon Castle, co. Warwick, Belton, co. Leicester, and Farnham Royal, Bucks, which manor was held by the service of finding a glove for the King's hand on the day of his Coronation.

# Note:

    (f) Presumably his son Humphrey, b. on the vigil of Pentecost 1267, was by the 2nd wife. Nothing is known of Eleanor's parentage but she may have been a Bohun. A seal, said to be hers, bears the Bohun and Verdun arms and the name of her son, Humphrey, may be significant.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Godfrey IV (died 27 or 26 February 1076), called the Hunchback, was a son of Godfrey the Bearded, whom he succeeded as duke of Lower Lorraine in 1069. His mother was Doda.

In the year of his succession, he married Matilda la Gran Contessa, daughter of Boniface III of Tuscany, and Beatrice of Bar. By this marriage, he succeeded his father as margrave of Tuscany, for his father had been married to Beatrice of Bar, the mother of Matilda. From 1071, Godfrey lived separate from his wife. The two spouses were on opposite sides in the Investiture Controversy: Matilda was a partisan of Pope Gregory VII and Godfrey of the Emperor Henry IV.

He warred on Henry's behalf against Magnus, Duke of Saxony, in 1075 and on that of the bishop of Utrecht in 1076 against Dirk V of Holland and Robert I of Flanders. He was assassinated on the Scheldt on the eve of battle. His only child was a daughter, Beatrice, by Matilda. He nominated his nephew Godfrey of Bouillon to succeed him, but the emperor appointed his own son, Conrad. Godfrey of Bouillon succeeded eventually in 1089 and gained fame on the First Crusade.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Godfrey III (c. 997 – 1069), called the Bearded, was the eldest son of Gothelo I, duke of Upper and Lower Lorraine. By inheritance, he was margrave of Antwerp and count of Verdun. The Holy Roman Emperor Henry III authorised him to succeed his father as duke of Upper Lorraine in 1044, but refused him the ducal title in Lower Lorraine, for he feared the power of a united duchy. Instead Henry appointed a younger son, Gothelo II, as duke in the lower duchy. At a much later date, Godfrey became duke of Lower Lorraine, but he had lost the upper duchy be then.

Godfrey rebelled against his king and devastated land in Lower Lorraine, as well as the city of Verdun, which, though his by inheritance, Henry had not given him. He was soon defeated by an imperial army and was deposed imprisoned together with his son (Gibichenstein, 1045). When his son died in prison, the war recommenced. Baldwin V of Flanders joined Godfrey and Henry gave Thierry, Bishop of Verdun, the eponymous county. Godfrey surprised the bishop (who escaped) and sacked Verdun, burning the cathedral. On 11 November 1048 at Thuin, Godfrey fell on Adalbert, his replacement in Upper Lorraine, and defeated him, killing him in battle. Henry immediately nominated the young Gerard of Chatenoy to replace Adalbert at the Diet of Worms. In his subsequent campaigns to take the Moselle region, Godfrey met with stiff resistance from Gerard and was forced to renounce his claims and reconcile with the bishop. He even assisted in rebuilding the cathedral he had destroyed.

In 1053, his first wife Doda having died, Godfrey remarried to Beatrice of Bar, the widow of Boniface III of Tuscany and mother of Matilda, Boniface' heir. Henry arrested Beatrice and her young son Frederick and imprisoned her in Germany, separate from either husband or son, who died within days. The emperor claimed the marriage had been contracted without his consent and was invalid. Young Frederick died a short while later. Nevertheless, Godfrey took over the government of the Tuscany in right of Beatrice and Matilda.

Baldwin V then rebelled, carrying the war to Trier and Nijmegen. Henry responded by devastating Flanders and ravaging Lille and Tournai (1054). In this war, Godfrey captured Frederick of Luxembourg, Duke of Lower Lorraine, who had received that duchy and Antwerp from Henry III.

In 1055, Godfrey besieged Antwerp, but Frederick was delivered by the Lorrainers, no longer loyal to Godfrey. Henry died in 1056 and his successor, Henry IV, was only six years old. In that year, Baldwin made peace and did homage to the new king. In 1059, by the treaty of Andernach, Baldwin received the march of Ename in Brabant in exchange for giving up the march of Valenciennes, which he had confiscated in 1045.

Godfrey was exiled to Tuscany, where he joined Beatrice and co-governed her. In 1065, he was recalled to become duke of Lower Lorraine after the death of Frederick. He was also given Antwerp again. He installed his court at Bouillon and died on Christmas Eve 1069.

Family
By Beatrice, daughter of Frederick II, Duke of Upper Lorraine, he had:

Godfrey, succeeded him in Lower Lorraine
Ida, married Eustace II, Count of Boulogne
Wiltrude, married Adalbert of Calw
He is sometimes counted as Godfrey II of Lower Lorraine.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gothelo or Gozelo (c. 967 – 19 April 1044), called the Great, was the duke of Lower Lorraine from 1023 and of Upper Lorraine from 1033. He was also the margrave of Antwerp from 1005 (or 1008) and count of Verdun. Gothelo was the youngest son of Godfrey I, Count of Verdun, and Matilda Billung, daughter of Herman, Duke of Saxony. On his father's death, he received the march of Antwerp and became a vassal of his brother, Godfrey II, who became duke of Lower Lorraine in 1012. He succeeded his brother in 1023 with the support of the Emperor Henry II, but was opposed until Conrad II forced the rebels to submit in 1025. When the House of Bar, which ruled in Upper Lorraine, became extinct in 1033, with the death of his cousin Frederick III, Conrad made him duke of both duchies, so that he could assist in the defence of the territory against Odo II, count of Blois, Meaux, Chartres, and Troyes (the later Champagne).

In the Battle of Bar on 15 November 1037, Gothelo dealt a decisive blow to Odo, who was trying to creating an independent state between France and Germany. Odo died in the battle.

Gothelo died on 19 April 1044 and is buried in the Abbey Church of Bilsen. His son Godfrey succeeded in Upper Lorraine, but the Emperor Henry III refused to give him the duchy of Lower Lorraine as well. When Godfrey showed disagreement with the imperial decision, Henry III threatened to pass the duchy to Godfrey's incompetent brother Gothelo. This caused a long rebellion in Lotharingia between the allies of Godfrey (the counts of Flanders and Leuven) and imperial forces (1044-1056).

Family
The name of Gothelo's wife is not known. He had the following children:

Godfrey the Bearded, duke of Upper Lorraine
Gothelo, duke of Lower Lorraine
Frederick, later Pope Stephen IX
Regilinda, married Albert II, Count of Namur
Oda, married Lambert II, Count of Leuven
Matilda, married Henry I, Count Palatine of Lotharingia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Frederick II (c. 995 – 1026 or 1027), son of Thierry I and Richilde de Lunéville, was the count of Bar and duke of Lorraine, co-reigning with his father from 1019.

On the Emperor Henry II's death in 1024, he joined Ernest II, Duke of Swabia, in revolt against the new king, Conrad II. Soon they made peace and recognised the new king. Frederick died soon after.

He married Matilda of Swabia (980 – 1031), daughter of Herman II, Duke of Swabia, and sister-in-law of Conrad. They had three children:

Sophia, countess of Bar and Pont-à-Mousson, married Louis, count of Montbéliard
Frederick, his successor
Beatrice, married firstly Boniface, margrave of Tuscany, and secondly Godfrey III, Duke of Lower Lotharingia; mother of Matilda of Tuscany

1015 Frederick de Bar 0960 - 1032 Thierry Theodoric of Upper Lorraine 72 72 Thierry I, Duke of Upper Lorraine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thierry I (born c. 965, died between 11 April 1026 and 12 January 1027) was the count of Bar and duke of Upper Lorraine from 978 to his death. He was the son and successor of Frederick I and Beatrice, daughter of Hugh the Great, count of Paris, and sister to the French king Hugh Capet.

His mother was the regent until 987. In 985, he joined the other Lorrainer lords, his including his cousin Godfrey the Prisoner, in trying to repel King Lothair of France's invasion: but at Verdun, he was captured.

Like almost all the dukes of Lorraine until the Gallicisation of the region in the thirteenth century, Thierry was loyal to the Holy Roman Emperors. In 1011, he aided Henry II in his war with Luxembourg. He was captured a second time in 1018 in combat with Burgundy, but overcame Odo II of Blois, also count of Meaux, Chartres, and Troyes (later Champagne). In 1019, he associated his son, Frederick, in the government with him. He briefly opposed the Emperor Conrad II, Henry's successor, but soon joined his supporters.

Family
He married Richilda, probably the daughter of Folmar I, count of Lunéville and Metz, in 985. They had the following children:

She was Countess of Bar between 1033 and 1092, in succession of her childless brother, Duke Frederick III of Upper Lotharingia (died 1033). Her sister Beatrix (died 1076) married Boniface, margrave of Tuscany, and remarried after his death with Godfrey III, Duke of Lower Lotharingia.

She married Count Louis of Montbéliard (1019–1071 or 1073). Their son Count Thierry II of Bar-Montbéliard (1045–1105) succeeded to the county of Bar.
