General Notes

Elizabeth de Vendôme, burned to death in 1000, a few days before a fire that burned the city of Angers ["Prima incensio urbis Andegave, que evenit paucis diebus post combustionem comitisse Helisabeth", Annales de Saint-Aubin, s.a. 1000, (1903), 3], daughter of Bouchard, count of Vendôme [Halphen (1906), 62, citing the cartulary of Trinité de Vendôme]. There was a report that Elizabeth was burned by Foulques for being innocently accused of committing adultery ["Qui post mortem primae uxoris, cum Helisabeth quoque causa adulterii concremasset, Hildegardem puellam illustrem duxit uxorem, cujus primogenitus Goffredus ...", Historia Sancti Florentii Salmurensis, Marchegay (1869), 260; "Fulco vero callidus ingenio, cum Elysabeth conjugem suam Andegavis, post immane praecipitium salvatam, occidisset ipsamque urbem, paucis defendentibus, flammarum incendii concremasset, Jerusalem petiit; ...", ibid., 273]. Halphen doubted this, calling the story a legend, and stating that Elizabeth died in a terrible fire [Halphen (1906), 62-3]. However, Halphen's interpretation does not seem to agree with the statement of the Annals of Saint-Aubin, which indicate that the fire in Angers followed the burning of Elizabeth by a few days [see Guillot (1972), 25].
