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

# Note:

    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. [Sir Bernard Burke, Dormant, Abeyant, Forfeited and Extinct Peerages, Burke's Peerage, Ltd., London, England, 1883, p. 42, Bellomont, Earls of Leicester]

# Note:

    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.

# Note:

    The son of a prominent Norman magnate, Roger of Beaumont, and his wife, Adeline, daughter of Waleran, Count of Meulan, Robert made his name by his deeds at his first battle, Hastings. Thereafter, during his father's lifetime, Robert sought his fortune in England. By 1087, he had become one of William I's active curiales and held land in England worth a significant but not spectacular £254. In the early 1080's he had inherited the county of Meulan from his maternal uncle but, despite succeeding to fiefs of Beaumont and Pont Audemer when his father entered the abbey of St. Peter at Préaux (c. 1090), his interests and loyalties remained Anglo-Norman. Unusually, he faithfully supported all of the first three post-Conquest kings. After spending much of 1087-93 in France securing his inheritance, from 1093 he emerged as William Rufus's closest counsellor, playing a prominent role in the dispute with Anselm and the king's French campaigns.

# Note:

    On the sudden death of Rufus in August 1100, Robert smoothly transferred his allegiance to Henry I. For the last eighteen years of his life, Robert appears as the most frequent witness to the new king's charters, a reflection of his influence. By 1107 when, perhaps in reward for his part in Henry's acquisition of Normandy, Robert was given the earldom of Leicester, he had become a major landowner in England as well as northern France, with estates especially extensive in the Midlands. While Roger of Salisbury ran the royal administration, centered upon the Treasury and Exchequer, Robert's influence was in politics, diplomacy and the law. Robert played a crucial role in furthering Henry's cause in Normandy 1103-6 and undermining that of the duke, Robert Curthose, with whom Robert of Meulan had long had strained relations. He continued to be closely involved in the dispute with Archbishop Anselm, his prominence recognised by Pope Paschal II who identified Robert by name for excommunication in 1105. However, Robert was instrumental in securing a compromise with Anselm, finally concluded at Bec in 1106, and in persuading Henry I to stick to the agreement, to moderate church taxes and restore church lands. In 1109, Robert 'with flattery, coaxing and apology' tried to persuade Archbishop Thomas of York to profess obedience to the see of Canterbury, an attempt repeated with Thomas's successor, Thurstan, in 1116.

# Note:

    As a significant Norman lord, wealthy French count and English earl, with experience in public affairs stretching back to the 1060s, Robert was well placed to further his own interests. He established an elaborate, almost quasi-regal administration for his English and continental lands: in England he had his own exchequer, in imitation of the new royal accounting office. At Leicester, he restored the Anglo-Saxon court of portmanmote, a tribunal of twenty-four, to replace trial by combat. He insisted that his twin sons, Waleran and Robert, both of whom were to play leading political roles in the next generation, received good educations. He was tenacious of his own rights and lands. In 1111, in revenge for an attack on Meulan, he ravaged the French king's capital at Paris causing so much damage that Ile de la Cité required extensive rebuilding. Ruthless in manipulating his position and the law to acquire new estates, on his deathbed he characteristically refused to restore any lands he had illegally seized.

# Note:

    Robert's private life may not have been untroubled. He had married late (c. 1096) Isabel of Vermandois who was alleged to have eloped with William of Warenne, who she subsequently married before Robert's death. As in contemporary Romances, so in life, infidelity and chivalry could be close companions.

# Note:

    Robert's interests in public affairs and desire to influence royal business, although personally enriching, was not solely self-seeking. To Robert was attributed Henry I's less aggressive, less ostentatious and more conciliatory tone of government, notably towards the church and in the delicate handling of the prickly Norman baronage. William of Malmesbury wrote of Robert as 'the persuader of peace, the dissuader of strife . . . urging his lord the king rigourously to enforce the law; and himself not only abiding by existing laws but proposing new ones.' Henry of Huntingdon described him as "the wisest man between this and Jerusalem." Not the least of Robert's achievements may have been to temper Henry's notorious personal brutality. Orderic Vitalis, who may well have met Robert, attributed to him a remarkable political testament delivered to Henry I in 1101. This may stand as a blueprint for effective medieval political management which, even if of the chronicler's invention, suggests what policies contemporaries associated with Robert.

# Note:

    'We . . . to whom the common utility is committed by Divine Providence, ought to seek after the safety of the kingdom and of the Church of God. Let our chief care be to triumph peacefully without the shedding of Christian blood, and so that our faithful people may live in the serenity of peace . . . Speak gently to all your knights; caress them all as a father does his children; soothe them with promises; grant whatever they might request and in this manner cleverly draw all to your favour . . . do not hesitate to make magnificent promises, as is fitting to royal munificence. It is better to give away a small portion of the kingdom than to lose both victory and life to a host of enemies. And when . . . we have come to the end of this business (withstanding the threat of Robert Curthose), we will suggest useful measures for recovering the demesnes usurped by rash deserters in time of war.'

# Note:

    It is worth noting that the 'useful measures' mentioned included accusations of treason, deprivation of patrimonies, and forced exile. As with all successful medieval politicians, Robert of Meulan knew that violence and the threat of violence was the strongest supporter of conciliation.

# Note:

    When Robert died in 1118, his lands appear to have been divided between his twin sons, Robert and Waleran, while a third son, Hugh, became earl of Bedford in 1138. [Who's Who in Early Medieval England, Christopher Tyerman, Shepheard-Walwyn, Ltd., London, 1996; Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1961 ed., Vol. 3, p. 274, BEAUMONT]

 1048 - 1094 Gilbert de Gaunt 46 46 Baron of Folkingham
Gilbert de Gant, 1st cousin to William Rufus and Henry I. This Gilbert de Gant, son of Baldwin of Flanders, accompanied his uncle, William the Conqueror, into England and participated in the triumph at Hastings, obtained a grant of the lands of the Danish proprietor, named Tour, with numerous lordships. Gilbert happened to be at York anno 1069 and had a narrow escape when the Danes, in great force, on behalf of Edgar the Aetheling (Prince of the Saxons and brother of Margaret, wife of Malcolm, King of Scotland), entered the mouth of the Humber, and marching on that city committed lamentable destruction by fire and sword, there being more than 3,000 Normans slain. He married Alice de Montfort, daughter of Hugh de Montfort, son of Hugh, son of Thurstan de Bastenburg, son of Aumaurie de Montfort, son of Robert I, King of France. He died in the reign of William Rufus (1087-1100). He had Hugh, who assumed the name of de Montfort, and inherited all the possessions of his grandfather, Montfort. Walter, his successor, Robert, Lord Chancellor of England anno 1153, and Emma, married to Alan, Lord Percy.
(Kin of Mellcene Thurman Smith, page 639)

GILBERT DE GANT, the first of this surname, a younger son, Baron de Folkingham, who received the lands of Tour, a Dane; had several lordships in Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Yorkshire, Cambridgeshire, Buckinghamshire, Huntingdonshire, Northon, Rutlandshire, Leicestershire, Warwickshire, Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire, in the last of which, at Folkingham, he made his principal seat and head of his barony; married Alice, daughter and heiress of Hugh de Montfort.
(Fenwick Allied Ancestry, page 56)
 1042 Alice de Montfort Alice de Montfort, whose brothers, Robert and Hugh, both died sine prole, married Gilbert de Gant. This Gilbert de Gant accompanied his uncle William into England and participated in the triumph at Hastings, obtained a grant of the lands of a Danish proprietor, named Tour, with numerous other lordships. Gilbert happened to be at York when the Danes in great force on behalf of Edgar Atheling (heir to the Saxon throne) entered the mouth of the Humber, and marching upon that city, committed lamentable destruction by fire and sword, there being more than 3000 Normans slain. Like most of the great lords of his time, Gilbert de Gant disgorged a part of the spoils he had seized to the church, to ease his conscience. Amongst other acts of piety he restored Bardney Abbey, County Lincoln, which had been utterly destroyed many years before by the pagan Danes, Inquar and Hubba. Alice and Gilbert had Hugh, Walter de Gant who succeeded his father, Robert and Emma. This great feudal chief died in the reign of William Rufus.
(Kin of Mellcene Thurman Smith, page 354-355) 1072 - 1124 Hugh de Montfort 52 52 Hugh de Gant de Montfort was living 1124. On account of his mother being so great an heiress, assumed the name of Montfort, and inherited all the possessions of his grandfather, Hugh, who came with William, the Conqueror. This Hugh having married Adeline, daughter of Robert, Earl of Melleunt and Bellomont, and his wife Isabel de Vermandois, daughter of Hugh Magnus, 1st Crusader, son of Henry I, King of France, and Anne of Russia. He joined with her brother Waleran, and all of those who endeavored to advance William, called Clito, son of Robert of Normandy (1st Crusader), against Henry I, in 1124, and entering Normandy for that purpose, he was made a prisoner with the said Waleran, and confined for 14 years ensuing. The time of his death is not ascertained, but he left issue: Robert, Thurstan, Adeline and Ada. Robert, the elder son, died 1141, succeeded his father, but does not appear to have left any issue, as he was succeeded by his brother Thurstan.
(Kin of Mellcene Thurman Smith, page 355)

HUGH DE MONTFORT, called Hugh the fourth, who having assumed the surname of his mother's family inherited all the possession of his grandfather. Married Adeline, a daughter of Robert, Earl of Millent. He joined with Waleran, her brother, and all those who endeavored to advance the cause of William, son of Robert-Curthose, against King Henry I, in 1124. While in Normandy for this purpose, he and said Waleran were made prisoners and confined as such for 14 years. The time of his death is unknown. His four children: 1. Robert De Montfort, fought and vanquished Henry de Essex, the king's standard bearer, having first charged him with cowardice, in fleeing from his colors in 1163. He does not appear to have had any issue, for he was succeeded at his decease by his brother. 2. Thurstane de Montfort, he succeeded his brother, 3. Adeline De Montfort, married William de Britolio, 4. A daughter married to Richard, son of the Earl of Gloucester.

 1070 Filia Gaunt 1088 Agnes de Gaunt 1075 - 1139 Walter de Gaunt 64 64 Walter de Gant, 2nd son, succeeded his father and was a person of great valour and piety, who at an advanced age, commanded a brave regiment of Flemings and Normans in the celebrated conflict with the Scots at Northallerton in Yorkshire, known in history as the Battle of the Standard, "Where," says Dugdale, "by his eloquent and prudent conduct, the whole army received such encouragement that the Scots were utterly vanquished." He married Maud, daughter of Stephen, Earl of Brittany, and had Gilbert, Robert, Geoffrey, Alice, Matilda and Agnes, who married William de Mohun.

His name is variously spelled. The first name is sometimes rendered Saher, Saire, or Seer, and the last name Quency or Quenci. His background is a little uncertain. He was probably the son of Robert FitzRichard and nephew of another Saer de Quincy, who was lord of Buckby in Northamptonshire. Quincy was one of the barons who took part in the rebellion of Henry the Young King in 1184. Like most of the rebels, he eventually received his lands back after the rebellion failed. He subsequently served as castellan at various castles in the English royal possessions in France. Most notably, in 1203 he was castellan at Vandreuil in Normandy, and surrendered it to the French. In 1204 de Quincy's brother-in-law Robert de Beaumont, 4th Earl of Leicester died, leaving de Quincy's wife as co-heiress along with her elder sister. The estate was split in half, and after the final division was ratified in 1207 de Quincy was made earl of Winchester. Quincy never got along with king John, and was one of the 25 guarenteors of the Magna Carta. He fought against John in the troubles that followed the signing of the Charter, and against Henry III as well. After the failure of the early attempts to depose Henry III, de Quincy decided to fulfill a vow he had made to go on crusade. In 1219 he left to join the Fifth Crusade, then besieging Damietta. There he fell sick and died. (Wikipedia)

He made an expedition against England in 994 and extorted a large amount of tribute money. Following a massacre of Danes in England in 1002, he conducted a further series of raids and in 1013 led an invasion with the object of effecting a permanent conquest. The fall of London and the flight of the English king Ethelred II to Normandy (Normandie) early in 1014 made Sweyn master of the country. After his death the throne of England eventually passed (1016) to his son Canute II.

Sweyn I "Forkbeard" (sometimes Svein Haraldsson; in Danish, Svend Tveskæg) (circa 965 - February 3, 1014) succeeded his father Harold I as king of Denmark in 986. After recovering his throne (991) following a brief Swedish invasion, Sweyn established Danish control over a part of Norway (1000).

After participating in a Norwegian-led raid against England in 994-995, Sweyn embarked on a series of full-scale invasions (1003-1005, 1006-1007, 1009-1012 and 1013) following the St. Brice's Day massacre of England's Danish inhabitants (November 1002). By December 1013 he was England's effective ruler following the flight to Normandy of king Ethelred the Unready.

Svein died on at Gainsborough in Lincolnshire, having ruled England unopposed for only five weeks, and his body was returned to Denmark. He was succeeded as King of Denmark by his elder son, Harold II, and as King of England by his younger son Canute the Great. His son, Canute the Great, ruled in Denmark and England and some part of northern Germany.

'During the 1180s the king [William the Lion] struck up an alliance with Lachlan (or 'Roland'), lord of Galloway, who had married into the Anglo-Norman family of Moreville, and whose change of name neatly captures the interaction that was beginning between the native and foreign cultures. When in 1187 William was again faced by a northern uprising, it was Roland who captured its leader, Donald mac William, a distant kinsman of the king'. p. 59: 'Roland of Galloway's marriage to the Moreville heiress expanded the family's interests.'

'Roland, Lord of Galloway, the son of Uchtred. On the death of his uncle, Gilbert, in 1185, Roland rose in arms, and possessed himself of all of Galloway.' Henry II threatened to invade in 1186; Roland agreed to swear fealty, give his three sons as hostages, and keep Uchtred's lands. Gilbert's son Duncan got Carrick. 'Roland greatly increased his lands by marrying Eva, Ela, or Helena, daughter of Richard de Moreville, Constable of Scotland, who died 1196. Roland inherited the office of Constable. Issue: 1.

Beatrice's lover attacked Hugh de Morville with a sword but that she cried out in English to warn Hugh. It was used as evidence that the Scoto- Normans could speak English, perhaps in preference to French. Hugh and Beatrice are commemorated on a plaque at Dryburgh Abbey and at least Hugh is supposed to be buried there, possibly Beatrice was, too.

Note: Their daughter Avice's birthdate is about 1145 according to some, but if Plantagenet Ancestry is right in attributing her mother to be Gundred (Ancestral Roots gives no mother), then an 1154 date would be much more likely. This also involves making subsequent descendant birthdates a bit later as well.

Note also: Ancestral Roots states that Gilbert de Stainton is probably son of William I de Lancaster. However I believe that chronologically he is more likely to be a brother.

 Gilbert de Stainton Christian de Stainton 0895 Canville de Caux 1030 Roger de Morville 0922 - 0992 Mieszko Piast of Poland 70 70 Mieszko converted the Poles to Christianity in order to compete better with the crusading and marauding Germans. During the reign (992-1025) of his son, Boleslaw I, the Christian church was firmly established in Poland. Boleslaw also conducted successful wars against Holy Roman Emperor Henry II and considerably expanded the Polish domain. He was crowned king by the pope in 1025. At his death, Poland extended beyond the Karpaty Mountains (Carpathian Mountains) and the Odra and Dniester rivers.

It is not clear from sources which wife sired which child, hence the multiplicity of Unknown spouses.

Mieszko I (c. 935-May 25 992), son of the semi-legendary Siemomysl, was the first (historically known) Piast duke of the Polans, which gave that name to a country later called Poland.

Mieszko was not his actual name, but given at a later time.

In either 964 or 965 (more probably) he married Dubrawka (or Dobrava), a daughter of Boleslaus I, duke of Bohemia. In 978 he married Oda von Haldensleben, daughter of Dietrich (Theoderic) of Haldensleben, count of the North March (965-985), after abducting her from the monastery of Kalbe.

The early career of Mieszko was dominated by fighting with the tribes of Wieletes and Volinians south of the Baltic Sea, and their ally, the Saxon count Wichman. Mieszko was baptised in 966 (probably under the influence of his Christian first wife or maybe in order to avoid confrontation with the Holy Roman Empire to the west) he built a church dedicated to Saint George at Gniezno.

At the time of the reign of Mieszko there was no single place serving as the capital instead he built serveral castles around his country. One the most important was Ostrow Lednicki (what is supported by the recent archeological findings). It was a ring-fort some 460 feet in diameter. Inside his residence, a fine stone palace, the country's first monumental architecture.

He had probably one sister of unknown name, and two brothers: one of them, name unknown, was killed in battle around 964; and the second, named Czcibor, died in the Battle of Cedynia in 972.

Mieszko I had pledged allegiance to emperor Otto I the Great, to emperor Otto II and again to emperor Otto III, however there is much dispute from the Polish side over this fact - mainly whether he was vassal from whole Poland, or from part Poland (the disputed fragment is "usque Varta fluvium"). One medieval chronicle also mentions that Mieszko pledged allegiance to margrave Gero, but since the chronicle itself is believed to be abstract of another which does not mention that fact, this is generally accepted nowaday as myth.

His reign began around 962 in Greater Poland (Wielkopolska), Cujavia, Masovia and possibly in eastern Pomerania. In the 960s he probably at least partially conquered western Pomerania, and in the 990's he conquered Silesia and Little Poland (Malopolska).

Much of his military activity was along the Baltic coast, in territory later called Pomerania. He defeated Count Dietrich of the Northern March at Cedynia in 972, and reached the mouth of the Oder/Odra river in 976. The decisive battle, fought in 979, ensured Mieszko's position as ruler of the area. The following year he celebrated his temporary conquest by dedicating a fortress at Gdansk. Settlements there have existed for millenniums and Pomeranian and Prussian territories overlap at the mouth of the Vistula River.

In 981 Mieszko I lost the land known only as Grody Czerwienskie to Vladimir I, prince of Kiev. In 986 he pledged allegiance to the Emperor Otto III, and helped him with wars with the Polabians. Shortly before his death he placed his state under the suzerainty of the Pope in a document usually called the Dagome Iudex.This Dagome Iudex indexes the lands of the Mieszko, referred as "Dagome" in document, and his wife, former nun Oda and her sons by him.

From his first marriage he had a son, his successor Boleslaus, and a daughter(s): the wife (as queen Sigrid the Haughty) of Eric the Victorious, king of Sweden and then (as queen Gunhilda) of king Sweyn Forkbeard of Denmark, and mother of king Canute of Denmark and England. Gunhilda and Sigrida may or may not be the same person, since most of sources is generally contradicting themselves on the issues regarding their history. The name for such daughter, "Swiatoslawa", is generally accepted amongst historians as best approximation on her Slavic name.

From his second marriage he had three sons, Mieszko, Lambert, and Swiatopolk.
