Count Guy De Ponthieu I 
Guy was born in 1032 in Abbeville, Ponthieu, Normandy, France.1 Guy's father was Count Hugh of Ponthieu III and his mother was Bertha of Aumale. His paternal grandparents were Count Enguerrand of Ponthieu I and Adela of Holland; his maternal grandparents were Guerinfroi of Aumale and Hermengarde d'Auvergne. He had a brother and a sister, named Enguerrand and Elissende. He was the second oldest of the three children. He died due to Died during the 1st Crusade at the age of 69 on October 13th, 1101 in Abbeville, Ponthieu, France.2 General Notes
Harold Godwinson, or Harold II of England was shipwrecked at Ponthieu, Normandy in 1064 and taken captive by Guy (or Wido according to the Bayeux Tapestry) who was the then Count of Ponthieu. It is alleged that William (Duke of Normandy - later William I of England) discovering that Harold had been taken captive, sent messengers ordering Count Guy to hand over his prisoner. William then forced Harold to swear to support his claim to the throne, only revealing after the event that the box on which Harold had made his oath contained holy relics, making the promise especially binding.
