The birth and ancestry of Josceline was as splendid as his estates were
slender. He was a younger son by a 2nd wife of Godfrey, Count of Braban t
and Louvain, and was descended through Louis IV, King of France, and his
wife Geberga, daughter of the King of Germany; son of Charles Il, King of
Fra nce, and Edgina, daughter of Edward, the Elder, King of England; son
of Louis II, King of France; son of Charles II, King of France; son of
Louis I, son o f Charlemagne.
Jocelyn wedded Agnes upon condition that he should be called Jo celyn
Percy, or else, that he should bear the arms of Lord Percy. He took
c ounsel of his sister, the Queen, and chose to be called Jocelyn Percy
rather than forsake his own arms, for so he should have no right of title
to his fat her's inheritance. The date of this marriage is not certain,
but it was proba bly about 1150, when Agnes Percy was in her 17th year.
Queen Adeliza conferre d on her brother, by way of a wedding present, five
and a half knights' fees in Yorkshire, and the honour of Petworth in
Sussex. He lived for the remainDe r of his life in great splendour; and is
chiefly remembered for the many rich gifts which he made to abbeys and
religious houses.
