Charles II, King de France

AKA: Charles II, Emperor of the West. AKA: Charles II, King de Bourgogne. AKA: Charles II, King of Italy. Also Known As: Charles "Le Chauve".

Born: on 13 Jun 823 in Francfort-sur-le-Main, Germany, son of Louis I, King de France and Judith de Baviere, Some sources assert King Charles II was born in the year 829.

Note - between 824 and 875 in France: The birth of Charles II in 823 did not at first excite jealousy or rivalry among his brothers. In 829, Charles was granted the region of Alemannia, Rhaetia and part of Burgundy. In 837, his Father Louis I "Le Debonnaire", by arrangement with Louis the German and Pepin gave Charles the land West of the Meuse, Burgundy, Chartres and Paris together with all the bishops, abbots and counts who held benefices in these territories. A portion of Neustria was added in 838, and upon Pepin's death, Louis Le Pieux made Charles King of Aquitaine. On 24 July 840, the new Emperor, Lothar, in Strasburg, refuses to support the land claims of Charles (from the agreement of Worms on 30 May 839). The two brothers, Louis and Charles, unite against Lothar and the War of the Three Brothers begins. Meanwhile, on 12 May 841, the Normands ravage Rouen and all the localities along the Seine, increasing their wealth considerably. At Fontenoy-en-Puisaye (24 June 841), Charles defeats his brothers Lothar (in spite of the arrival of the Army of Aquitaine in the Imperial ranks -- and at a total loss of 40, 000 lives at the battle) and Louis Le Germanique. Charles and Louis signed an alliance on 14 February 842 at Strasbourg. Leaving Strasbourg, the two brothers defeat the imperial army of Lothar just West of Comblence. Lothar leaves Aix-le-Chapelle precipitously, pursued by the two brothers. In Mellecey, not far from Chalon-sur-Saone, Lothar proposes a plan to establish perpetual peace which is acceptable to both Louis and Charles. On 15 June, they sign the preliminary peace document. On 1 October 842, each of them sends 40 commissioners to Metz to forge the official document. Prudence, the Bishop of Troyes, notes that Louis regained Germania in the East, Lothar gets the middle part of the Franc Kingdom, including Italy, and Charles obtains the Western lands (West of the Rhone, including Soissons). After that Charles goes to the Palace in Quierzy, where he marries Ermentrude.

Charles signed the Treaty of Verdun (843) which split the Kingdom of Charlemagne. By the Treaty, the destiny of Occidental Europe would be heavily influenced to this day. Louis obtains all lands East of the Rhine, including the cities of Spire, Worms, Mayence. Lothar gets all the lands extending between the Rhine and the Escaut, the Cambresis, the Hainaut, the country of Mezieres, and all the countships neighboring the Meuse, through the Saone and the Rhone, the Artois and Italy. Charles got all the lands East all the way to Spain. The Kingdom of Charlemagne thus was split forever, with the most serious rift between the germanic lands of Louis, and the French lands of Charles. The intervening lands extending from Frisia to Rome, from the North Sea to the Mediterranean including what would become Holland, Belgium, Lorraine and Switzerland would become a sore point of contention between these two peoples. The only thing that mattered to Lothar was the fact that both capitals (Aix and Rome) were located within his territory, thus legitimizing the title of Emperor.

Meanwhile, the Normands pillage Nantes and lower Aquitaine. Charles laid siege to Toulouse in vain (May to July 844). The Normands led by Ragnar Lodbrog arrive in Paris and must be heavily bribed to leave. Other Normand armies ravage Toulouse and Bordeaux (burned to the ground in 848). On 6 May 848, Duke Nomenoe proclaims the indepence of the Church of Bretagne and the following year proclaims himself King of Bretagne. Charles fought Brittany (Bretagne) in 845-851 and was victorious. Not liking Pepin II, the people of Aquitaine request Charles' help, and he obliges by accepting the Crown, and on 6 June 848 is consecrated King of Aquitaine, though he could not defend his kingdom against the Normands. He had Charles of Aquitaine jailed (849 in Corbie). In 850 Charles attacks Bretagne and leaves a garrison in Rennes. No sooner does he leave, that Nomenoe takes the city and then takes Nantes as well. The next year, Nomenoe ravages Maine, but, fortunately for Charles, the King of Bretagne dies suddenly on 7 March in Vendome. Charles has Pepin II locked in the Monastery of Saint-Medard de Soissons in 852. The Normands under Godfrid pillage Tours and Angers and penetrate via the Valley of Escaut all the way to the Seine. The loyalty of Aquitaine shifts in 853, and Louis the German is called upon to help against Charles le Chauve. He in turn defeats Louis and offers Aquitaine his son by Ermentrude, Charles, who would be crowned sovereign in Limoges in October 855. Both Pepin II and Charles d'Aquitaine escape raise armies against Charles le Chauve. Charles fought against Louis for Lorraine (859, 870 [Treaty of Mersen] and 875).

When Louis le Germanique becomes ill in 869 near Rastisbonne, shortly after his nephew Lothar II died, Charles see the opportunity to claim his heritage as Uncle of the deceased. He has himself annointed King of Lorraine in Metz on 9 September, by the Bishop Hincmar. In March, 867, Charles d'Aquitaine dies, and his father Charles le Chauve is recognized as King by the Assembly in Pouilly-sur-Loire. Upon the death of his nephew, Lothar II on 8 August 869, Charles sped to Lotharingia and had himself crowned King of Lotharingia annointed on 9 September in the cathedral at Metz by Bishop Adventius of Metz and Archbishop Hincmar of Rheims. In 9 August 870, through the Treaty of Meerseen, Louis "Le Germanique" and Charles "Le Chauve" reach an agreeable compromise whereby they divide the lands of Lothar II between themselves, leaving Louis II no part of the inheritance. As soon as Louis II died on 12 August 875, Charles rushed to Italy and received the imperial crown and is annointed by Pope John VIII on 25 December 875. In Pavia on 5 January 876, by acclamation of the counts and nobles of Italy, Charles becomes King of Italy. On 31 January 876, the Archbishop of Milan proclaims Charles as Emperor. The French ecclesiasticals and nobles, having some misgivings about Charles' ability to take care of his Kingdom meet in Ponthion. Charles joins them dressed in the attire of the Frankish King. As soon as they declare him elected and recognize his imperial authority, Charles donned the Byzantine crown, and purple vestment of emperor. When Louis le Germanique dies on 28 August 876, Charles claims Lorraine as his own. While on an expedition in Italy against the Sarrasins, through the specific request of Pope Jean VIII, Charles le Chauve dies at the foot of Mount Cenis.

Married on 13 Dec 842 in Quierzy-sur-Oise, Aisne, Ile-de-France, France: Ermentrude d'Orleans, daughter of Odon=Eudes, Count d'Orleans and Ingeltrude de Paris; Ermentrude was crowned Queen of France in 866, having already produced a number of children including 6 sons but none of them was satisfactory as far as Charles Le Chauve was concerned. By September 866, four of them were dead.

Married on 25 Nov 869 in Aix-la-Chapelle, France: Richilde de Bourgogne, daughter of Beuve=Bouin, Comte de Bourgogne and Richilde d'Arles; The honeymoon is short-lived, as Louis le Germanique demands, as part of his heritage from the death of his nephew Lothar II, a part of Lorraine. Died: on 6 Oct 877 in Avrieux, Dauphine, France, at age 54 Charles II is buried at Saint Denis although originally he was buried in Nantua. Before expiring, he named his son, Louis Le Begue as his successor, and the Empress Richilde, crowned by Pope Jean VIII earlier that year, is charged with taking the royal garbs and sword to her step-son.

Called The Pious (778-840), Holy Roman emperor (814-40), king of France (814-40), king of Germany (814-40), and king of Aquitaine (781-840). He was the son of Charlemagne, king of the Franks. In 817 Louis made plans providing for the posthumous division of the Carolingian Empire among his three surviving sons, Lothair I, Holy Roman emperor, Louis II, king of Germany, and Charles II, Holy Roman emperor. His reign, however, was troubled by quarrels with his sons, who were dissatisfied with his arrangements for the succession. Louis was physically strong but was easily influenced and was unequal to administering the large empire that he inherited from his father.

In 781, at age 2, Louis I, "Le Pieux", was crowned and anointed King of Aquitaine by Pope Hadrian I, at the same time as his older brother Pepin was made King of Italy. Louis, whose twin brother had died at birth, was the third of Charlemagne's sons by his wife Hildegard. The Diviso Regni of 806indicates that Louis was to have Aquitaine as an independent kingdom upon his father's death. Aquitaine was in effect a March; for much of Louis' reign as sub-king he and his officials were occupied in quelling Gascon revolts and launching offensives into Spain. Unrest had never completely died out in the Pyrenees since the annexation of Aquitaine in 768, and more especially after the disastrous ambush of the Frankish vanguard in Roncesvalles in 778. In about 788, Chorso, Duke of Toulouse was captured by a Gascon named Adelric, and then released after being forced to swear an oath of allegiance to the Gascon or Basque leader. In 793, the Sarracens invaded Septimania, burned the suburbs of Narbonne and marched on Carcassonne, but in 795 Bahlul-ben-Machluc sued with Louis for peace. In 800, he successfully laid siege to Barcelona and subsequently captured Tortosa, Huesca and Pamplona and formed links with the Kingdom of the Asturias. Baptized: on 15 Apr 781; On 15 April 781, Louis was baptized by Pope Hadrian I in Rome. The next day, Easter Sunday, he was confirmed in his title of King of Aquitaine. Married in 794: Ermengarde d'Esbay, daughter of Engueran=Ingram, Count d'Esbay.

Note - between 800 and 837: Louis I established monasteries in Nouaille (a cell of St. Hilaire of Poitiers), Gellone and St. Martin-de-Tours.

After the death of his brothers Pepin and Charles in 810 and 811 respectively, Louis was crowned at Aachen on 13 September 813, Emperor and heir to all of Charlemagne's lands, by Charlemagne himself without any assistance nor even the presence of the Pope. All sources, Frankish as well as papal, refer to Louis as emperor from then on. Charlemagne died 5 months later. All of Louis' sisters were required to quit the palace and retire to their own estates. His cousins, the offsprings of Bernard (Pepin III's half brother) were exhiled: Louis forced Count Wala to become a monk at Corbie; Adalhard was exhiled to Noirmoutier to be held there in custody by the Abbot; Bernhard returned to Lerin and Gundrada had to retreat to St. Radegund's convent of Sainte Croix in Poitiers. Only Theodrada was left unmolested as abbess of Notre Dame at Soissons. Louis I was also known as Louis, "Le Pieux". On 27 February 814, upon learning of the death of his father, and at the age of 36 years, he left Doue-la-Fontaine, in Anjou, to go to Aix-la-Chapelle.

This new emperor, enterred this capital, and poised himself in front of the tomb of Charlemagne. So oversome with grief, his forehead touched the stone floor of the church. Hence the name "Le Pieux". Since he was kind, relative to his times, he was also known as "Le Debonnaire". For himself, he preferred to adopt the title "by divine Providence, Emperor Augustus". When Pope Leo died in May of 816, Stephen IV was elected Pope, and crowned Louis the Emperor on Sunday 5 October by placing a crown on his head during mass at Rheims. He also secured the release of some Roman exhiles in Francia. This crowning was among the first attempts to integrate the Papacy into the institutional framework of the Empire. Louis, 'lest he be led astray in satisfying the natural desires of the body' married Ermengarde, daughter of Count Ingramn. Charlemagne established Doue-la-Fontaine, Chasseneuil (Louis' birthplace), Angeac and Ebreuil as royal residences to maintain Louis and his household. At an assembly in Aachen in July 817, Louis made provisions for his sons' inheritance through the "Ordinatio Imperii". In his preface he states that the unity of the empire preserved for Louis by God should not be destroyed by men. Lothar was given the title of emperor, and as co-ruler with his father at once made heir to the empire, and appointed King of Italy in the event of his father's death. Bernard, then King of Italy was not mentioned, but the implication is that Bernard would be subordinate to Lothar should Louis die. Pepin was made King of Aquitaine (plus Gascony, Toulouse, Carcassonne, Autun, Avallon and Nevers) and Louis, The German, was made King of Bavaria (plus Carinthia, Bohemia, the lands of the Avars and Slavs and the royal manors of Lauterhofen and Ingolstadt). Pepin and Louis were to meet on an annual basis with Lothar to consult and together find "measures to take in the interest of perpetual peace". They could neither start a war nor marry without the approval of their elder brother. Lothar even had the right to de-throne them after three warnings. That same year, 817, Stephen IV obtains his political independence, thus severing the tie between Rome and the Frank Empire as conceived by Charlemagne. The arrangement was neat and all contingencies covered except for the one which took place. After his first wife's (Ermengarde) death, Louis, in 819, married the beautiful Bavarian Judith, daughter of Comte Welf of Bavaria. On 13 June 823 she gave birth to a son. He was called Charles. In September, 824, forgetting his nickname "Le Debonnaire", Louis totally ravages the Bretagne which was rebelling. In 829, at the General Assembly convoked in Worms (Wurm), Louis announces that he is forging a Duchy for his son, Charles, and gives him Alamania, Alsace, Rhetia, and part of Burgundy. The Co-Emperor Lothar, disagrees and has his name removed from imperial decrees and diplomas. Toward the end of 829, the political scene gets very complicated with allegations that Judith had intimate rapports with Bernard, Count of Barcelone, and ultimately desiring the death of the three sons of Hirmingarde. In Mai of 830, in Compiegne, Lothar and Pepin of Aquitaine lead a revolt. Louis is forced to cede on every point of contention. The apanage of the young Charles is eliminated, Judith is locked up in Poitiers at the Monastery of Sainte-Radegonde. In 831, the bishops would note how she had a talent for converting men's hearts and souls, and would allow her to rejoin her husband. In 832, Pepin and Louis revolt against their father. On 24 June 833, the Army of Louis Le Pieux faces those of the rebels. The field of battle in Rothfeld would be named the Field of the Lie (Lugenfeld). The Emperor and his sons begin negotiations. The night of 29 to 30 June, it is clear that the supporters of Louis would be influenced by his three sons. On the morning of 30 June, Louis would have to surrender. It would not be until 1 October that Louis would be deposed by the Assembly led by Agobard, Archbishop of Lyon and Eblon, Archbishop of Reims. On 7 October, Judith is sent to the Monastery of Tortone, Bernard to Prum, and Louis to the Monastery of Saint-Medard-de-Soissons, where in public ceremony, he is forced to lay down his sword, stripped of royal vestments, he is made to don the coarse cloth of a penitent. In 834, Louis and Pepin, tired of being under the control of their brother Lothar, decide to free their father. On 28 February, they succeed in freeing their father and in August in Blois, Lothar swears to Louis Le Pieux, that he would never leave Italy except by his direct command. Throughout 834, the Normands -- Danes, Swedes and Norwegians -- resume their raids. On 28 February 835, the General Assembly proclaims that Louis was innocent of all previous accusations thus clearing the way for him to be re-established as Emperor on the Throne at Saint-Stephen of Metz.

In 837, thanks to the intercessions of Judith, Charles "Le Chauve", receives a Kingdom composed of Frisia, between the Seine, the Meuse and the sea and in September 838, he receives the crown at Quierzy-sur-Oise. In 838, Marseille is devastated by the Sarrasins. On 30 May 839, the Empire is divided in half, with Lothar taking the East, and Charles' lands extend through Provence, Lyon, Toul and Geneva and all the lands of the West. Louis "the German", gets to keep only Bavaria. Married in 819: Judith de Baviere (3628), daughter of Welf II, Count de Baviere and Egilwich=Heilwig, Abbess de Challes ; Louis married Judith upon the death of his first wife, Ermengarde. She bore him a son named Charles in 823. It is clear that Louis was as fond of Charles as Jacob was of his Benjamin. Died: on 22 Jun 840 in Ingelheim, Germany, at age 61 In 840, while attempting to keep Louis "the German" in line, Louis "Le Pieux" is taken ill in Salz. Feeling near death, he sends Lothar his sword and the crown on the condition that he would be loyal to Judith and abide by the lands division agreed to in Worms in 839. He died on an island, near Ingelheim on 22 June. 309. Judith de Baviere (Andre Roux: Scrolls, 191.)

She bore him a son named Charles in 823. It is clear that Louis was as fond of Charles as Jacob was of his Benjamin.

King of Lombards 774
Crowned Holy Roman Emperor 25 Dec 800

Charlemagne, or Charles the Great, CAROLINGIAN king of the FRANKS, came to rule over most of Europe and assumed (800) the title of Roman emperor. He is sometimes regarded as the founder of the HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE. In 768 he and his brother Carloman inherited the Frankish kingdom (most of present-day France and a part of western Germany) from their father PEPIN THE SHORT. The entire kingdom passed to Charlemagne when Carloman died in 771. He inherited great wealth and a strong military organization from his father and brother. He used these assets to double the territory under Carolingian control. In 772 he opened his offensive against the SAXONS, and for more than three decades he pursued a ruthless policy aimed at subjugating them and converting them to Christianity. Almost every year Charlemagne attacked one or another region of Saxon territory. --4, 500 Saxons were executed on a single day in 782--and deportations were used to discourage the stubborn. The Saxons proved to be a far more difficult enemy than any of the other peoples subjugated by Charlemagne. For example, the LOMBARDS were conquered in a single extended campaign 773-74), after which Charlemagne assumed the title "king of the Lombards." In 788 he absorbed the duchy of Bavaria, and soon thereafter he launched an offensive against the AVAR empire. The Avars succumbed within a decade, yielding Charlemagne a vast hoard of gold and silver. After one disastrous campaign (778) against the Muslims in Spain, Charlemagne left the southwestern front to his son Louis, (later Emperor LOUIS I) who, with the help of local Christian rulers, conquered Barcelona in 801 and controlled much of Catalonia by 814. On Christmas Day, 800, Charlemagne accepted the title of emperor and was crowned by Pope LEO III. For several years after he regarded the imperial title of being of little value. Moreover, he intended to divide his lands and titles among his sons, as was the Frankish custom. At his death on Jan. 28, 814, however, only one son, Louis, survived; Louis therefore assumed control of the entire Frankish empire.

Also Known As: Pepin "Le Bref".

Born: in 714 in Austrasia, son of Charles Martel and Rotrude=Chrotrud, Duchesse d'Austrasie ). Married circa 740: Berthe=Bertrada de Laon, daughter of Charibert, Count de Laon and Bertrade N? ;

Berthe was for may years, at least since 740, the concubine of Pepin III. In 749 she convinced him to marry her. Note - between 742 and 753: Pepin III was baptized by the then future Saint Willibrod, famous apostle of Frisia and was brought up at the Monastery of Saint-Denis. He would protect the bishops.

Upon the death of his father, Charles Martel in Quierzy-sur-Oise on 22 October 741, Pepin III received Neustria, Burgundy and the Provence. The next year, Pepin "Le Bref", whose surname was derived in the 9th. century because of his size, joined his older brother, Carloman in military operations in Aquitaine. They ravaged the region of Bourges and set fire to the Castle of Loches. By Autumn, they had pushed beyond the Rhine, defeated Duke Odilon of Bavaria and forcing the Allemanians to submit. In the year 743, they re-establish a Merovingian King by taking Childeric III from an abbey, purportedly one of the sons of Childeric II. In 744, Hunaud, son of Eudes, Duke of Aquitaine, undertakes his campaign in Allemania, crosses the Loire and destroys Chartres, burning its cathedral. The next year, he was forced by Carloman and Pepin III to retire at the Monastery of the Ile de Re. Hunaud's son Waifre succeeds him. Pepin decides to free Grifon, his half-brother, and to thank him, Grifon joins a rebellion against Pepin, refusing Pepin's offer of a dozen Neustrian countships. In 749, Pepin III forces the Allemanians in rebellion to submit as well as the Bavarians. Grifon escapes but dies that year on his way to seek the help Waifre, Duke of Aquitaine, near Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne. The Merovingian dynasty comes to an end in November of 751 when Pepin III receives the Holy Oil from Boniface, Bishop of Soissons, thus becoming King. His wife becomes Queen of the Francs the same day. Childeric III and his son Thierry both are shaven and they are sent to the Monastery of Saint-Berton, near Arras. ~0686 - 0724 Chrotrud (Rotrudis) of Treves 38 38 0689 - 0741 Charles Martel 52 52 Married: ABT. 713 in 1st wife

Victor over the Saracens at Tours, Poitiers.

Carolingian ruler of the Frankish kingdom of Austrasia (in present northeastern France and southwestern Germany). Charles, whose surname means the hammer, was the son of Pepin of Herstal and the grandfather of Charlemagne. Pepin was mayor of the palace under the last kings of the Merovingian dynasty. When he died in 714, Charles, an illegitimate son, was imprisoned by his father's widow, but he escaped in 715 and was proclaimed mayor of the palace by the Austrasians. A war between Austrasia and the Frankish kingdom of Neustria (now part of France) followed, and at the end of it Charles became the undisputed ruler of all the Franks. Although he was engaged in wars against the Alamanni, Bavarians, and Saxons, his greatest achievements were against the Muslims from Spain, who invaded France in 732. Charles defeated them near Poitiers in a great battle in which the Muslim leader, Abd-ar-Rahman, the emir of Spain, was killed. The progress of Islam, which had filled all Christendom with alarm, was thus checked for a time. Charles drove the Muslims out of the Rhone valley in 739, when they had again advanced into France as far as Lyon, leaving them nothing of their possessions north of the Pyrenees beyond the Aude River. Charles died in Quierzy, on the Oise River, leaving the kingdom divided between his two sons, Carloman (circa 715-54) and Pepin the Short.

Born: in 686 in Chateau de Franchemont, Belgium, son of Pepin II d'Heristal and Aupais=Alpaide N?, The Chateau de Franchemont is near Spa and also Verviers, which may have encompassed Heristal. During World War II, the resistance used the tunnels under the castle to hide people and supplies from the German hordes.

Married before 715: Rotrude=Chrotrud, Duchesse d'Austrasie, daughter of Saint Lievin=Leutwinus, Bishop de Treves and N. d'Istrie. Note - between 715 and 741: Toward the end of 715, Charles escaped from the prison his step-grandmother had locked him in, and rallies the Austrasians. In March, 716, however, in his first conflict with the Frisons who were edging their way up the Rhine, Charles is routed. A few weeks later, he is able to beat the Neustrians on the Ambeve River, near Malmedy. on 21 March 717, he is victorious over the Neustrians again, this time at Vincy, near Cambrai and he forces Chilperic II and his Mayor of the Palace, Rainfroi to flee to Paris. In 714, Charles takes the title Mayor of the Palace of Neustria, and gives the Neustrians a new King, Clotaire IV, son of Thierry III [who had died in 691] . The same year, his armies ravage Saxe all the way to the Weser River. In early 719, Clotaire IV died, and Rainfroi and Chilperic II obtain the assistance of Eudes, Duke of Aquitaine in a campaign against Charles. Charles defeats both armies; however, since Clotaire IV is dead, Charles recognizes Chilperic, but he becomes the Major Domus of both Neustria and Austrasia. When Chilperic II died in 721, Charles pulled Thierry IV, young adolescent son of Dagobert III, out of the Monastery of Chelles. from 722 to 724, the arabs mount successful offensives and pillage Autun. Charles, worried about maintaining the Franc authority, Charles Martel mounts a frightfully succesful campaign in Bavaria against the Allemanians and the Frisons, and he destroys their temples. Theutbald, Duke of the Allemanians is essentially powerless. In Gaule, toward the end of the decade, Charles turns his attention to Eudes, Duke of Aquitaine, who had maintained too independent an attitude. Aquitaine is ravaged in the process. In 730, Eudes allies himself with an Emir of northern Spain, Othmann ben Abi-Nessa and the arabs agin a foothold in southern France. By 732, a new emir, Adb-el-Rahman invades from Pampelona, cross the Pyrenees near Roncevaux, take and pillage Bordeaux, burning all the churches. In the Summer, they take Poitiers and destroy the basilica of Saint-Hilaire-hors-les-murs. On Saturday 17 October 732, Charles Martel's armies take the great Roman way linking Chatellerault to Poitiers and at 20 km North of Poitiers, at Moussais-la-Bataille, it encounters the arabs. They would observe each other for 7 days before the Battle of Poitiers would take place.

The Battle of Poitiers: One Chronicler, Fredegaire described the action as follows: "Duke Eudes, being viewed with derision throughout his lands, called against Prince Charles and the nation of the Francs, that most perfidious race of the Sarrasins [that is not accurate as Eudes had first allied himself with an Emir, but then called upon Charles for aid when events turned on him] . The Sarrasins, led by their King, Abd-el-Rahman cross Gerona [another error as they set out from Pampelona and crossed the pyrenees at Roncevaux] . After having burned the churches, and crushed the population, they arrive in Poitiers. When they burn the Basilica and destroy the residence of Saint Martin, Prince Charles put into action an audacious plan and the order of Battle is given. With the aid of Jesus Christ, our Lord, our valorous Prince destroys their tents and flies into combat to crush them..."

A less glorious account is given by a monk of the Abbey of Moissac:

"The King of Spain, Abd-el-Rahman, having crossed the Pyrenees with his large army from Pampelona, laid siege to Bordeaux. Then Eudes, Prince of Aquitaine, leading his large assembled army fought against the Sarrasins on the banks of the Garonne. But, from the beginning, the Sarrasins were victorious. Eudes, having to flee, recruited the assistance of Charles, Prince of the Francs. Then Charles led his armies and combat ensued in the suburbs of Poitiers [the actual battle took place 20 km North of Poitiers] . The Sarrasins having been beaten by the Francs, and their King, Abd-el-Rahman killed, fled in a most disorderly manner back to Spain. As to Charles, he returned triumphantly to France with the bounty..."

The Moslems have named that field of Battle: Balad-al-Shouhada -- Place of the Martyrs of the Faith. This victory gave Charles Martel extraordinary prestige, and it is there that he is said to have crushed the arabs "like a hammer". He then occupied the Bourgogne (Burgundy) and pacified the Languedoc, and Provence, thus establishing a significant French Monarchy. He exiled the family of Eucharic of Orleans, who controlled the bishopric of Auxerre, to Hesbaye, and installed his own man, Aimar to the Holy See. Married before 726: Sunnichild de Baviere. Buried: in Oct 741 in Saint Denis, Seine, Ile-de-France, France. Died: on 22 Oct 741 in Kiersy=Quierzy, Aisne, France, Upon Charles Martel's death, his two sons divide the Kingdom in accordance with his wishes. Carloman gets Austrasia, Allemania and Thuringia; Pepin gets Neustria, Burgundy and Provence. The rest, very little, went to Grifon, a bastard child of Charles by Swannhilde, grand-daughter of the Duke of the Bavarians. 0654 - >0689 Alpaide of Aupois 35 35 Alpaida (Elfide, Chalpaida) was Pepin II's (635 or 640 - December 16, 714) concubine and mother to Pepin II's illegitimate son, Charles Martel (Charles the Hammer) (August 23, 686 - October 22, 741). She was daughter of Dodo. 0635 - 0714 Pepin II of Herstal 79 79 ALIA: Pepin of /Herstal/

Carolingian mayor of the palace, who reunited the Frankish realms in the late Merovingian period. A grandson of Pepin the Elder, he succeeded to his position in the kingdom of Austrasia around 680. In 687 he extended Carolingian rule to the other Frankish kingdoms, Neustria and Burgundy, but retained members of the Merovingian dynasty as figurehead monarchs in all three. Two years later he extended his control over the Frisians, a pagan people living on the North Sea coast. Pepin's death was followed by a civil war and the succession of his illegitimate son Charles Martel.

Born: circa 635 in Liege, Luik, Liege, Belgium, son of Ansegis=Ansegisus, Duke d'Austrasie and Sainte Begge=Begga de Landen . Note - between 679 and 714: The services of the Palace were ensured by the Greats [nobles], known as "Optimates", frequently brought up at a very young age within the King's entourage. Because the Canerarii's task was to watch over the King's chamber and the precious treasure kept in it, it was logical that he should be given financial attributes. Since the eldest officer was the seneschal [senescallus] he was given the task of overseeing the army. The Comes Stabuli' job was to watch over the King's stables. There were others based on various tasks. The most singular office was that of Major Domus, frequently called Mayor of the Palace. Originally, this was only an attendant whose job was to maintain appropriate levels of stocks and supplies, and to coordinate the activities of other personnel in the King's palace. In early 679, Dagobert II, who had returned form an exile in Ireland, attempted to govern Austrasia with the help of his Mayor of the Palace, Goufaud. The Greats prefer Pepin II, grand-son of Pepin de Landen. By the end of 679, Dagobert II is killed in a hunting "accident". Pepin II was the Mayor-of-the-Palace of Austrasie from 679 to 714. In 680, Ebroin and Thierry III of Neustria fight and force Pepin II to flee at Leucofao, near Bois-du-Fay in the Ardennes. When Pepin II recognizes Thierry III as the only King of Gaule, the war between the two is suspended for about 3 years. At Tertry three leagues from Saint-Quentin, Pepin II fought and beat Thierri III, King of Neustrie and in 687 took that kingdom. It is at that time that he begins to be known as Pepin de Herstal or d'Heristal. It is also clear that by that time, the office of Major Domus had become essentially hereditary and that it grew in power as that of the King's declined. Pepin II directed a number of expeditions against the Frisons [defeating Duke Radbod in 689 and sending them Willibrod to convert them to Christianity], the Alamanians [whom he defeats near Lake Constance in 690] and the Bavarois [who submitted to Pepin II in 691] . When Norbert, Mayor of Neustria and of Burgundy died [whom Pepin II had designated in 688], circa 700, Pepin installed his own son, Grimoald=Grimaud. Married before 685: Plectrud d'Echternach, daughter of Hugobert=Humbert d'Echternach and Irmina. Married before 686: Aupais=Alpaide. Historians recognize Alpais as Pepin II's one concubine, which seems rather modest for a personage of his status at that time. Died: on 16 Dec 714 in Jupile-sur-Meuse, Belgium.

Occupation: in 632 Ansegis was Mayor of the Palace of Austrasie to Sigebert in 632.

Arnoul was the 29th. Bishop of Metz, in 612. He was canonized by the Church, Saint Arnoul. He became the Mayor of the Palace of Austrasia, and tutor of Dagobert. In the year 614, when Clotaire II had had Brunehaut killed, he remained the only descendant of the sons of Clovis alive. But he is only a toy in the hands of the Franc aristocracy both lay and ecclesiastic. At the head of each of the three ancient kingdoms, Austrasia, Neustria and Burgundy, the Major Domus [Mayor of the Palace] gains progressively greater importance. On 18 October 614, Clotaire II signed the Edict of Paris which in 27 articles, essentially formed the basic power structure for the Council of Bishops and the Assembly of the Greats [nobles].

In 623, Clotaire II was pushed by the Bishop of Metz and also Pepin [Le Vieux de Landen], the Mayor of the Palace to give Austrasia its own King. Thus, Clotaire II's son Dagobert became King of Austrasia and under the tutelage of Arnoul. ~0567 - 0636 Oda of Suevia 69 69 ~0565 - ~0610 Bodegisel II of Aquitaine 45 45 Murdered returning from Constantinople. ~0547 Palatina of Troyes 0545 - 0599 Saint Gondolfus, Bishop of Tongeren 54 54 ~0525 Arthemia of Perthois ~0505 - ~0575 Lord Munderic of Cologne 70 70 Revolted against Thierry I, who killed him.

Bertha was the daughter of Charibert I, King of Paris. When she married the pagan King Æthelberht of Kent, she brought her chaplain, Liudhard, with her to England. She restored a Christian church in Canterbury, which dated from Roman times, dedicating it to Saint Martin of Tours. The present St Martin's at Canterbury occupies the same site. Augustine of Canterbury, who was sent by Pope Gregory I to preach the Gospel in England in 596, owed much of his favourable reception there to the influence of Bertha. ~0540 - 0601 Bishop Arnoldus of Metz 61 61 There is some conflicting information here. There are two Oda's, some people put St. Arnoul's mother as Oda and some as Bertha. Some have different fathers for him too. There's also some conflict on Dode.

King of Soissons (511), King of Orleans, King of France

AKA: Clotaire I, King d'Orleans. AKA: Clotaire I, King d'Austrasie. Born: in 497, son of Clovis I, King des Francs and Sainte Clotilde de Bourgogne.

Married between 510 and 515: Ingonthe who was Clotaire I's first wife. She gave him a daughter and five sons, three of whom survived. Married circa 516: Aregonde); Radegonde was Clotaire I's second legitimate wife. Note - between 523 and 560: In accordance with Salic Law, upon Clovis I's death, his four sons [Thierry, the eldest and born from an unknown concubine before Clovis was married, and the other three, Clodomir, Childebert and Clotaire, divided the kingdom not unlike a cake, but with unequal parts. Clotaire, the youngest, received the most primitive lands, extending from the charbonniere forest [the North of Gaule] to the Somme River and beyond to include Noyon, Soissons and Laon. Soissons was its capital. The brothers constantly engaged in bloody fights in order to augment their holdings. In 523, three of Clovis I's sons, Clotaire, Childebert and Clodomir, launch their first campaign against the Burgundians. They catch Sigismond=Zygmund, out of the Monastery of Agaune, as well as his wife and his children. They are given to the custody of Clodomir. He has the entire family murdered by throwing them into a well at Saint-Peravy-la-Coulombe [near Patay] . Clotaire I became King of Orleans in 526 and King of Austrasie in 555. He was known for his cruelty and plotted and implemented the murder of his brother's (Clodomir) sons with Childebert, his other brother. In July through December 524, two of Clodomir's sons thus are murdered. Clodomir himself had died at the Battle of Vezeronce [in Isere] on 25 June 524. Clotaire gets Tours and Poitiers. In 531 Thierry and Clotaire I are occupied in battle against the Thuringians. Their King, Hermanefried died in combat by falling from a rempart in Tolbiac [with a little push] . His mother, Radegonde, who is among the captives, becomes Clotaire's third wife. In 532, Clotaire and Childebert begin their third campaign against the Burgundians. This time, they take Autun. Upon Thierry;s death in 534, his lands are divided, and Clotaire gets the entire southern portion of Thierry's holdings including Grenoble, Die and neighboring cities.

In 536, Clotaire obtains the northern part of Provence encompassing Orange, Carpentras and Gap from Vitiges, King of the Ostrogoths. When Theobald dies in 555, Clotaire gives the Auvergne to his son, Chramne. The next year, Clotaire would fail in his campaign against the Saxons, but they will continue to pay him an annual tribute of 500 cows. Chramne rebels and fights against his father. Upon Childebert's death 23 December 558, he reunited all parts of the Frankish kingdom, and Clotaire becomes sole King of the Francs. The following year, his son, Chramne again rebels, but has to seek refuge with the Count of Brittany, Conober who is established in Vannes. In 560, they lose to Clotaire and Chramne, his wife and their children are burnt alive on the orders of Clotaire. Married circa 547: Radegonde, Princess de Turinge, daughter of Hermanefried, King de Turinge (8164) and N? ; The Thuringians had been submitted to the Francs. Clotaire and his half-brother Thierry had led a brutal campaign against them and had crushed them on the banks of the Saale in 531. Among Clotaire's share of the bounty was a beautiful young girl, the Christian Princess Radegonde. Radegonde was Clotaire I's third legitimate wife, and fifth mate. Clotaire I was about 50 years old.

Founder of the Empire of the Franks

Born: circa 466, son of Childeric I, King des Francs and Basine Andovera de Turinge, Clovis I became King between the Summer of 481 and Autumn of 482. According to Gregoire de Tours, he was only about 15 years of age at the time. In any case he was quite young as he was called "juvenis". Timelines here are bound to be fraught with error since the custom of counting years from the time of Jesus Christ was not established until the 8th Century. Thus, both the Larousse and the History of France assert a birth date circa 466 whereas Stuart's "Royalty for Commoners" claims Clovis I was alive in the year 420! That date is necessary to claim that Sigebert I is the son of Childebert, son of Clovis, since Stuart claims Sigebert I was King of the Salic Francs from 481 to 511.

Significant-Other: Evochilde before 486 - Evochilde was a concubine. Note - between 486 and 507: King of the Franks, Clovis I vanquished the Romans at Soissons in 486. Syagrius, the "Roman King" takes refuge in Toulouse under the protection of the King of the Wisigoths, Alaric [who had just become King in 484]. By the end of the year, Clovis I forced Alaric to give up Syagrius, and Clovis I secretly has Syagrius put to death. From 487 to 490, Clovis I extended his kingdom all the way to the Loire River, however, he respects the border of the Wisigoths to the South and of the Burgundians to the South-West, as well as that of the riparian Francs to the East. From 490 to 495, Clovis is occupied with the liquidation of the Salic Franc dynasty North of Gaule. King Chararic of Tongres is decapitated, and King Ragnacaire of Cambrai is executed. Upon the request for aid from the Riparian Francs, Clovis I defeats the Alamans (Germans) at the Battle of Tolbiac in 496 thus bringing Champagne under his jurisdiction. In 500, he wages war against Gondebaud, King of Burgundy defeating him near Dijon. Gondebaud retreats to Avignon. In 502, on the Cure and the Cousin, Clovis I and Gondebaud seal an alliance. From April to June 507, the French Army attack the Wisigoths, whose Kingdom extends from the Mediterranean to the ocean, and cross the Loire, going up the Valley of Calin toward Poitiers and encounter the Visigoth Army in the plain of Vouille, 15 km West of Clain. Alaric II, King of the Visigoths is killed and the Wisigoths thus are defeated. By 507, thanks to the efforts of his son, Thierry, the entire Meridional Gaule falls into Clovis I's control. In 508, the Franc Army lays siege on Arles in order to secure Provence. Theodoric, King of the Ostrogoths, occupies Provence, and his general, Ibbas, crosses the Alps to deliver Arles from Clovis I's clutch. Theodoric conquers the Burgundians at Avignon and Orange and makes Amalaric, his grandson and son of Alaric II, King of the Wisigoths. Clovis I loses the Bas-Languedoc, then called Septimania.

Around 510, Clovis has Cloderic, King of the Riparian tribes who had fought in his support at Vouille, assassinated, and proclaims himself King of the Riparians. Thus, the Kingdom extends from the Pyrenees, to the ocean to beyond the Rhine. Upon his death, according to Frankish custom, his kingdom was divided among his four sons: Thierry, Clodomir, Childebert and Clotaire. Married circa 493: Sainte Clotilde de Bourgogne, daughter of Chilperic, King de Bourgogne and N?; Clotilde was a Merovingien. By the time Clovis I married her, he already had a son through his concubine. Clotilde contributed to the conversion of Clovis to Christianity. After his death, she retired to the monastery of Saint-Martin in Tours (France). Her Feast Day is 3 June. Baptized: on 25 December 496; When the Queen, Clotilde, convinced Clovis I to have their son Ingomer baptized, he relented. Shortly afterwards, the son died.

------------------
From Gregory, Bishop of Tours (539-594) History of the Franks:

"While Clovis was resident in Paris he sent secretly to the son of Sigibert, saying: "Your Father is old and he is lame in one leg. If he were to die, his kingdom would come to you of right, and my alliance would come with it." Chloderic was led astray by his lust for power and began to plot his father's death"

"[After Chloderic killed Sigibert, Clovis' messengers kill Chloderic.] When Clovis heard that both Sigibert and his son were dead, he came to Cologne himself and ordered the inhabitants to assemble. "While I was out sailing on the River Scheldt, and he, Chloderic, the son of your King, my brother, was busy plotting against his father and putting it out that I wanted him killed. As Sigibert fled through the forest of Buchau, Chloderic set assassins on him and had him murdered. While Chloderic was showing his father's treasure, he in his turn was killed by somebody or other. I take no responsibility for what has happened. It is not for me to shed the blood of one of my fellow kings, for that is a crime; but since things have turned out in this way, I will give you my advice and you must make of it what you will. It is that you should turn to me and put yourself under my protection." When they heard what he had say, they clashed their shields and shouted their approval."

"Day in day out God submitted the enemies of Clovis to his dominion and increased his power, for he walked before Him with an upright heart and did what was pleasing in His sight."

"In the same way he encompassed the death of many other kings and blood-relations of his whom he suspected of conspiring against his kingdom. By doing this he spread his dominion over the whole of Gaul. One day when he had called a general assembly of his subjects, he is said to have made the following remark about the relatives whom he had destroyed: "How sad a thing it is that I live among strangers like some solitary pilgrim, and that I have none of my own relations left to help me when disaster threatens!" He said this not because he grieved for their deaths, but because in his cunning way he hoped to find some relative still in the land of the living whom he could kill."
---------------------------

Clovis - or Chlodovech - succeeded his father, Childeric, as King of the Salian Franks in 481. In 486, he defeated Syagrius, who ruled an isolated Roman territory in northern Gaul, then went on to defeat various rivals in the lands surrounding his capital at Soissons.

In 493, he married a Burgundian princess, a Christian woman named Chlothild (later canonised as St. Clotilda). She was the daughter of Chilperic II, King of Burgundy. Chilperic was murdered by his brother, Gundobad. Clovis, learning about the girl, asked for her hand, and Gundobad was said to be too afraid to refuse. Chlothild attempted to convert her new husband to Christianity but initially failed.

In 496, he came into conflict with the Alamanni. According to Gregory of Tours, he vowed to become a Christian if he was victorious. When victory was forthcoming, he was true to his word and was baptised by bishop Remigius of Rheims. Significantly, he was baptised into the Orthodox, rather than the heretical Arian persuasion, unlike the rulers of the other Germanic successor kingdoms. This was a shrewd political move, which ensured the approval and support of the Roman Church in his subsequent campaigns.

King Gundobad's brother, Godegisel, now made secret overtures to Clovis, persuading him to invade Burgundy to support his own attempt on the throne. In the light of Gundobad's murder of Chilperic, this might be seen as a pursuit of Chlothild's blood feud with the Burgundian king - or it might be that the 'murder' never took place, and was invented retrospectively, to justify Clovis' invasion. In any event, Gundobad fled to Avignon, but eventually came to terms with Clovis, and became his tributary. (He then wasted no time in bringing his brother to bay at Vienne and killing him).

He then attacked the Visigoths, perhaps on the pretext that they were heretical Arians. He defeated and killed their king, Alaric II, in 507 at VouillÃ(c) near Poitiers.

He made Paris his capital and spent the remainder of his reign eliminating rival Frankish leaders. By the time of his death in 511, his empire stretched to include much of modern-day France and south-western Germany, and he was the favoured ally of the Eastern Emperor, Anastasius. The Franks were not yet the dominant power in Western Europe, nor had they even completed their hegemony in Gaul, which was still contested by the Burgundians, but Clovis had turned the Salian Franks into a major power amongst the barbarian successor kingdoms.

Between 458 and 480: Childeric I became the third King of the Franks in 458. He fought with the Roman Aegidius against the Wisigoths. When Agidius died in 464, he was succeeded by Count Paul. Childeric I's army helped Count Paul push back a Saxon advance from Angers around 466. Count Paul would die in 470. They had to repeat this feat around 475, after Count Paul had died and the Saxons once again had attempted to expand into Angers.

1 Childeric I, King des Francs

Born: before 433, son of Merovee=Merovech, Prince des Francs and N?, Childeric I is presumed to have been at least 15 years of age by the time he succeeded his father in 448.

Between 480 and 481 Childeric I's tomb in Tournai was discovered in 1653 and contained magnificent weapons. Buried: circa 481 in Tournai, Bigorre, France.

Defeated "Attila the Hun" in 451
Was son or son-in-law of Clodion

Before 430, the Salic Francs traverse the Escaut, and settle north of Gand [Gant] and also into Courtrai. Their chief, Clodion, takes Cambrai in 430. When Clodion died in 448, Merovee would succeed him as chief. Merovee was a Frankish Prince who ruled over the Saliennes [thus, this Merovee is King of the Salic Francs] from 452-458. He was the commander of the Francs in the great Battle of the Catalonic Fields, where he defeated Attila the Hun in 451. It is from his name that the kings of the First Race derived their name. The Huns had steadily increased their domination from humble beginnings off the Caspian sea from Caucase to the Elbe, from Muldavia to Hungary in the later part of the Fourth Century.

During his reign the Empress of the Roman Empire, Galla Placidia, in 423 governed in the name of her 4-year old son, Valentinius III. She put the Gallo-Roman Aetius [who really came from Bulgaria [originally Silistria] in charge of maintaining the Roman authority over Gaule.

Although he was unsuccessful against the Wisigoths, he pushed the Riparian Francs beyond the Rhine. In 440, the Riparians would return and take over Cologne and Treves. In the meantime, the Burgundians settle in what would become Bourgogne and in Savoie. In 443, they are camped around Worms and Mayence under the command of their King, Gonthier. Died: in 458.

"A number of mythical genealoies can take his line back to the 1st C. and link him to the early Kings of Britain. Merovech is widely accepted as historical, and Gregory of Tours wrote that some said his father was Chlodio. But from there up to Boudicca not one generation is attested in a contemporary source, and most are from the sort of late chronicles that tend to be dismissed as fiction."
 ~0438 Basina Andovera of Thuringia ~0415 Basina of the Saxe ~0410 - ~0455 King Chlodwig of Koeln 45 45 Caretena ~0450 - 0493 King Chilperic of Burgundy II 43 43 Chilperic II (c. 450 – 493) was the King of Burgundy from 473 until his death, though initially co-ruler with his father from 463. He began his reign in 473 after the partition of Burgundy with his brothers Godegisel, Godomar, and Gundobad; he ruled from Valence and his brothers ruled respectively from Geneva, Vienne, and Lyon. They were all sons of Gundioch. Sometime in the early 470s Chilperic was forced to submit to the authority of the Roman Empire by the magister militum Ecdicius Avitus.

In 475 he probably sheltered an exiled Ecdicius after the Visigoths had obtained possession of the Auvergne. After his brother Gundobad had removed his other brother Godomar (Gundomar) in 486, he turned on Chilperic. In 493 Gundobad assassinated Chilperic and drowned his wife, Caretena, then exiled their two daughters, Chroma and Clotilda. Chroma became a nun and Clotilda fled to her uncle, Godegisel. When the Frankish king, Clovis I, requested the latter's hand in marriage, Gundobad was unable to decline. Clovis and Godegisel allied against Gundobad in a long, drawn out civil war. ~0591 - ~0640 Pepin I 49 49 ~0570 - ~0645 Carloman 75 75 ~0650 St Leutwinus of Treves Bertrade Cambert Caribert ALIA: Count Of Laon Cambert Caribert ~0660 - >0720 Princess Bertrada (Bertha) of Merovingians 60 60 founded Abbey of Prun, 720

His mother, Fredegund, was regent until her death in 597, at which time the thirteen-year old Clotaire began to rule for himself. As king, he continued his mother's feud with Brunhilda, queen of Austrasia, with equal viciousness and bloodshed.

In 599, he made war with his cousins, Theuderic II of Burgundy and Theudebert II of Austrasia, who defeated him at Dormelles (near Montereau). At this point, however, the two brothers took up arms against each other. In 605, he invaded Theuderic's kingdom, but did not subdue it. He remained often at war with Theuderic and the latter died in Metz in late 613 while preparing a campaign against him. At that time, Warnachar, mayor of the palace of Austrasia, and Rado, mayor of the palace of Burgundy, abandoned the cause of Brunhilda and her great-grandson, Sigebert II, and the entire realm was delivered into Clotaire's hands. Brunhilda and Sigebert met Clotaire's army on the Aisne, but the Patrician Aletheus, Duke Rocco, and Duke Sigvald deserted the host and the grand old woman and her king had to flee. They got as far as the Orbe, but Clotaire's minions caught up with them by the lake Neuchâtel. Both of them and Sigebert's younger brother Corbo were executed by Clotaire's orders.

In that year, Clotaire II became the first king of all the Franks since his grandfather Clotaire I died in 561 by ordering the murder of the infant Sigebert II (son of Theuderic), whom the aging Brunhilda had attempted to set on the thrones of Austrasia and Burgundy, causing a rebellion among the nobility. This led to the delivery of Brunhilda into Clotaire's hands, his thirst for vengeance leading to his formidable old aunt enduring the agony of the rack for three whole days, before suffering a horrific death, chained between four horses that were goaded in separate directions, eventually tearing her apart.

In 615, Clotaire II promulgated the Edict of Paris, a sort of Frankish Magna Carta that reserved many rights to the Frankish nobles while it excluded Jews from all civil employment for the Crown. The ban effectively placed all literacy in the Merovingian monarchy squarely under ecclesiastical control and also greatly pleased the nobles, from whose ranks the bishops were ordinarily exclusively drawn. Clotaire was induced by Warnachar and Rado to make the mayoralty of the palace a lifetime appointment at Bonneuil-sur-Marne, near Paris, in 617. By these actions, Clotaire lost his own legislative abilities and the great number of laws enacted in his reign are probably the result of the nobles' petitions, which the king had no authority not to heed.

In 623, he gave the kingdom of Austrasia to his young son Dagobert I. This was a political move as repayment for the support of Bishop Arnulf of Metz and Pepin I, mayor of the palace of Austrasia, the two leading Austrasian nobles, who were effectively granted semi-autonomy.

Clotaire II died in 629 after 45 years on the throne, longer than any other Merovingian dynast. He left the crown greatly reduced in power and prepared the way for the rise of the mayors and the rois fainéants.

From the DuBois family reunion book 1875
by Dr Henry A. DuBois

Fellow-kinsmen, Descendants of Louis and Jacques du Bois.

We have met here to commemorate our descent from two noble and pious men, who, more than two hundred years ago, fled from persecution in their native land, and found an asylum in this place, then a wilderness.

Peeled and stripped, for conscience sake, in the old world, they brought with them to this new world but few earthly possessions; but they came rich in a pure faith, and endowed with indomitable courage and energy to maintain it. This precious legacy they have bequeathed to numerous posterity of the seventh and eighth generations; and though few of them may have achieved much worldly distinction, I have yet to learn the name of that one who, by dishonor, or by dishonesty, has sullied his family patronymic. Other members of the family have undertaken to portray the lives of these two pious refugees, especially of Louis, the older brother -- to describe their hardships and trials in the wilderness, their progress from poverty to comparative wealth, the influence which they exerted on the community which sprang up around them on both sides of the Hudson, the general characteristics of the race and the dispersion of their numerous descendants and their settlement in other parts.

To my brother has been assigned the task of giving the history of the du Bois family in France and Holland. I propose to make the name itself the theme of this short address. "What's in a name?" Juliet asked, and Romeo might have answered with great truth, "A great deal, since a name separates us." So we also may reply, a great deal, since a name unites us all as kindred in America, and allies us to a very ancient and noble stock in Europe. This point I will now proceed to prove.

Ancient family surnames, which have been transmitted unaltered from generation to generation, indicate with great certainty a common origin on the part of all these who have rightfully inherited such ANCIENT surnames.

The family name, which these two refugees bore is a peculiar one, and is probably the most ancient name now extant. Written in the form in which they and their predecessors, for six hundred years, invariably wrote it. vis : with a small "d" and a capital "B" it was an incontestable badge of noble extraction, though the possessor, by adverse circumstances, might have been degraded from rank into the lower levels of society. Abjuring the Romish faith would be inevitably visited with such degradation, and the name erased from the parish and family records. There are several instances on record of some of this name who. After degradation, had been restored, and, as the record expresses it, "rehabilites en noblesse." I have not the ability, if I had the wish, to trace the descent of these pious men from "loins enthroned or rulers of the earth" for they have a far higher heraldry in the skies;

But a few remarks in regard to the antiquity of this family name wall, I trust, prove interesting to those who have inherited it.

According to Pere Anselme, de Laignes and other learned genealogists, there were at first no fixed family names in Europe outside of the nobility. After the year 1339, wealthy families, not noble, assumed and transmitted family names derived from lands acquired or inherited.

Among industrial classes of society, fixed surnames did not exist till long afterwards. These are of comparatively recent origin, and were first assumed as indicative of parentage or occupation, such as Johnson, Peterson, Nicholson, Thompson, etc., or Mason, Carpenter, Tailor, Clover, Wainwright, Baker, Brewer, etc., ad infinitum. Such names are still in process of formation, especially amongst the Teutonic race landing on our shores.

But all the ancient family surnames which can be traced back prior to the year one thousand two hundred, are, according to the above authors, of noble origin.

Previous to the year 900, no fixed family surnames existed In France, even amongst the nobles. At this time barons and knights held their lands as revocable gifts from sovereign princes. secular or ecclesiastical. But after 987, they began to acquire possession of their lands in hereditary fee, paying only feudal service to their suzerains. At this time, therefore, these barons and knights first began to transmit their family names, as well as their lands, to their posterity, and the name of an estate, inherited or acquired by marriage, was generally affixed to the original surname to distinguish the different branches of the same family.

Of these ancient patronymics, probably the most ancient one which has descended unchanged to this time, is that of "duBois."

After consulting all the oldest genealogical authors and books of heraldry in the ancient Bibliotheque du Roi (now Bibliotheque Nationale), at Paris, I found but one name which is now extant of equal antiquity.*** This is the name of "Pierrepont." which, like that of "duBois", has come down for many centuries to the present time unaltered in a single letter.

The origin of both these ancient family surnames was derived from hereditary office. Pere Anselme and Dufourny, in the eighth folio volume of their great work, entitled "Maison Royale de France", at pages 865 to 869, speak of the family "duBois" as the "Grand Masters of the Forests of France, " and of the family "Pierrepont" as the "Grand Masters of the Waters of France."

The above authors attribute a common origin to both these ancient families, to wit: from Macquaire duBois, Count de Roussy. in 1110, whose ancestor built the Castle de Roussy in 948, and added this title to his patronymic. Macqisaire's son was Hugh de Roussy, surnamed "le Cholet, ' whose fourth son, not succeeding to the titles, perpetuated the line under the title of "Seigneurs duBois de Marne, " for fifteen generations. when Guillaume duBois, in 1484, took the title of de Roussy. The great-grandson of Hughes duBois perpetuated the line of the "Seigneures de Pierrepont" for twelve generations. when both branches, according to this record, took the name of de Roussy. The Castle of de Roussy was situated In Artois, where some suppose the name of "duBois" to have originated. Other genealogical authors trace the origin of this family name to that part of France anciently called Neustria, a part of which was afterwards known as Normandy. It evidently existed there as an old name before the Norwegian Rollo, with his band of Norman followers, invaded that ancient province of France, and became the first duke of Normandy.

M. de Saint Allais, in his "Nobillare de France, " speaks of this name as that of one of the most ancient of the noble families of Normandy. He traces one of its branches, namely, that of "duBois duBais, " from 1066 (at which time it was an old family), down to the present century, by regular descent from father to son, the original patronymic being unchanged throughout. All the authors on historic genealogy concur in mentioning this surname as belonging to very ancient families in other parts of France, especially in Artois, Flanders and Brittany; but all bearing this patronymic are suppose to have had a common origin.

During my recent sojourn in Paris, I visited the Viscount de Magny, the present head or the Heraldic College of France, and had several conversations and some correspondence with him. He said to me: "Your family name. 'duBois', is one of the very oldest in France, and has more extensive marriage connections than any other." He writes: "I have some three hundred manuscript documents in regard to it." It is divided, according to him, into five principal branches, which exist in different parts of France, In Flanders, and even in England, but all these branches are traceable (he thinks) to a common origin in Normandy.

A few words in regard to the orthography of this ancient name will be appropriate and interesting to those who bear it. In many hundred instances In which I have examined this name In various hooks of heraldry, I have never but In one instance found it written otherwise than with a small "d" and with a capital "B, " thus, "duBois." The exception was in the case of a woman incidentally mentioned, and the reason not explained.

The prefix to a family name of "de, " "de la, " or of "du, " which is a contraction of "de le, " is universally admitted in France to be a badge of noble extraction.

While living in France, forty years ago. I made the acquaintance of M. Dumas, a near relative of the author. One day he said to me. "Do you sign your name with a large 'B' or a small 'b'?" I told him that my father and all his predecessors invariably signed their names with a capital B, but that I wrote it indifferently both ways, as I supposed it was the same name. He replied. "You are quite mistaken. If you have the right to sign your name with a large 'B.' you belong to an ancient French family, of which there are now but few representatives." "But, " he added, "there are great numbers in the south and middle of France who write this name with a small 'b' and who are of an entirely different origin. These were probably the descendants of the enfranchised peasantry or serfs who, in migrating to other parts, took the name of their feudal lords, but without the badge which indicated noble extraction, as this, in France, would have been a penal offence on their part, Thus the talented but infamous Cardinal Dubois never dared to write his name with a capital 'B', for during his day there were many powerful branches of the noble family 'duBois' jealous of their hereditary patronymic, who would have immediately impleaded him before the parliament of France, and have convicted him of imposture."

Louis and Jacques duBois were the first who brought this ancient name to the new world, and they wrote it as it was invariably written six hundred years previously, with a small "d" and a capital "B."

At the present time their direct lineal descendants exist in the seventh and eighth generation. All these descendants have always signed their names with a capital "B." after the example of their respective progenitors. but they should also have written the prefix "du, " as they wrote it, and not with a capital " D."

It is very desirable that all the descendants of Louis and Jacques duBois should maintain their family patronymic intact as a badge of their common origin. and wrate it in the same way that their forefathers did. this would not necessitate the change of a single letter, but simply a return to the ancient usage of writing the first letter of the prefix "du" with a small "d."

This uniformity in writing the name I strenuously advocate, not only as an indication of descent from these two noble champions of Protestantism who first brought it to this country, but also as a distinction from French citizens now settling in our midst, whose names, though apparently similar, are essentially different, and who are of a different lineage, and also of a different and adverse faith

I am no advocate for nobiliary titles, still less for nobiliary privileges. Such pretensions are inconsistent with the simplicity of the republican institutions bequeathed to us by our revolutionary fathers. Still more abhorrent would they be to the prevailing ochlocratic spirit of the present day, which has superseded our old republican principles, and is fast degrading, if not destroying, all that our forefathers esteemed virtuous and respectable. But to every right-minded man it must be a subject of just and honest pride to be descended from a long line of pious ancestors In this country, even though he should be reproached for claiming descent from a noble stock in Europe.

Fellow-kinsmen, the time is fast approaching when we will be called upon to maintain those principles of civil and religious liberty which our forefathers planted in this country, and which are now menaced by the same foe which persecuted them.

Rome has at this day, and in this country, far more political and spiritual power than she has in any country in Europe, and more than she had in France under Louis XIV, when she drove our ancestors from their native land. She then sought to obtain her ends by the aid of a royal despot: she now finds a more powerful ally in demagogism, which is and always has been the bane of all free institutions.

In the Impending struggle for an unimpaired national life which looms up in the near future, I predict that all the descendants of the two noble Huguenot refugees. Louis and Jacques duBois, will be found battling on the side of patriotism, intelligence and religious freedom, against ignorance, superstition and demagogism upheld by the subtle craft and wily politics of Rome.

Among the earliest and very best settlers of this country, the Huguenots stand foremost as a race. Wherever they settled, north or south, they have ever been noted as virtuous and useful citizens, honorable men. and fearless upholders of civil and religious liberty. Of these Huguenots, one of the most ancient families is that of "duBois ?' For more than two hundred years they have maintained in this country their family name unsullied.

Let us, therefore, fellow-kinsmen, reverence our American progenitors, Louis and Jacques, not for their claims to ancient lineage in the old world, but for the piety, courage and honorable principles which they have transmitted to their descendants in the new world. ~1579 - 1644 Jean des Mulles 65 65 Children

It is likely that they had an elder brother, Louis du Bois, who was Seigneur de Beaufremez at Linselles near Lille. Under the system of primogeniture, it was the custom for the eldest son to inherit all the property and titles of his father. It is probable that the American Du Bois immigrant, Louis, was named after this uncle. Pierre lived near Herseau, Belgium.

Before her marriage, she lived at Herlies with her father who was Seigneur de Baufremez. Her husband, Charles, lived at Vermelles. After their marriage they lived at Vermelles which Charles inherited from his father. Herlies and Vermells are only 8 miles apart. The estates of Beaufremez were lost to the family Beufremez as early as 1446 when Maria du Biez married Antoine de Landas. ~1536 - 1607 Charles de Fiennes du Bois 71 71 He was also known as Signeur de Bourse. The du Bois name is of fuedal origin.

The name is related to Count de Roussey [c 1110] whoses ancestors added this title of du Bois to their patronymic. It is an old name in Neustria, before the time of Rollo.

The ancient du Bois families were entitled by nobility the right to spell their name with a capital B. In ancient times, two families could not share the same surname without the addition of an agnomen.

Neustria is the western part of the Frankish Merovingian Kingdom.

He was given the Name of Robert Iat his baptism, and was styled as the "Patrician of Normandy".
He aquired his nickname "the Ganger", because he was to big for ahorse to carry and had to walk.

He was granted land in Northwestern France in 911 by Charles "theSimple", King of France. Charles hoped that Rollo would defend his newland, barring the length of the Seine River to other Viking groups. Rolloremained faithful to Charles and he and his son quickly expanded theoriginal land grant at the expense of neighboring French lords andguarded it well against Viking rivals. Even before Rollo's grandsonRichard took over the domain in 942, the descendants of the Vikings hadaccepted Christianity, intermarried with the local population and adoptedthe French language. Already they were being called Normans, acontraction of Northmen, and their territory became known as Normandy.Richard's (Rollo's grandson) great-grandson was King William I, conquerorof England.

The jarl or earl of More on the west coast of Norway, who fought alongside the future king Harald Finehair in establishing a united Norway. Harald married Ragnald's sister Swanhilda. During this civil war many Norwegians were driven out of Norway and settled in the Shetlands and Orkney, called the Nordreys by the Norse (as distinct from the Sudreys, or Hebrides and Man), which they used as a base to attack Norway and Norse ships. The traditional view is that around 874 Harald sent Ragnald to the Hebrides to bring these islands under his authority. During the expedition Ragnald's son, Ivar, was killed. As a consequence, once Ragnald had conquered the islands, Harald granted them back to him in recompense for his son. The more recent view is that Ragnald may have set out earlier on the expedition to conquer the Nordrey pirates himself and worked in league with OLAF THE WHITE, who was the Norse king of Dublin. According to this view Olaf granted Ragnald the Orkneys around the year 871 or earlier. However, Ragnald had no desire to remain in the isles so in 875 (or earlier) Ragnald gave the islands to his brother SIGURD, and returned to Norway where he continued to fight on behalf of the king. This created enemies and around the year 894 he was burned alive in his hall by two of Harald's sons by another wife. Ragnald had three children by his wife Ragnhild. In addition to Ivar, who died, there was Rolf, who became the first Duke of Normandy, and Thori, who succeeded him as Jarl of More. He also had several illegitimate sons two of whom, HALLAD and EINAR (i) became later Earls of Orkney. ~0812 Aseda Rognvaldsdatter ~0800 - ~0870 Eystein Ivarsson 70 70 Children

Eystein Glumra was the Earl of Moera (various spellings for this) in Norway
and Jarl of Orkney and Shetland.

According to both the Heimskringla Saga and the Orkneyinga Saga, Eystein
Glumra was the father of Rognvald. The Orkneyinga Saga says Eystein Glumra's
earliest forebear was Fornjot, King of Finland and Kvenland. Fornjot's
great-great-grandson was Thorri, or Fhorri, who had two sons, Norr and Gorr,
who emigrated westward. Norr took the mainland called Norway and Gorr took the
islands. Gorr's son Heiti was the father of Sveithi (Sveide), the Sea King,
who died about 760. Sveithi's son, Halfdan the Old, who died in 800, was the
father of Ivar, Earl of the Uplands. And Ivar, in turn, was the father of
Eystein Glumra.
RC 44 calls this man Eistein Ivarsson, son of Ivar, who was son of Halfdan
the Old. So it follows the Sagas for three generations.
There was no written language during this period, and the Norse sagas
provided oral histories, much like those Alex Haley, author of "Roots, "

The ships Warwick and Tiger sailed in 1621 with supplies, young women and wives for planters in Virginia. They fell among Turk ships; the Tiger, was rescued and landed in Jamestown, Virginia. The ship was sent to the upper Potomac River to trade for corn.

On another voyage the Tiger with Captain Henry Fleet and twenty-one men was attacked and Captain Fleet was taken captured by the Yawaccomoo-o Indians on the Potomac River in 1623 and remained a captive until 1627, during which time he acquired a familiar knowledge of their language; was ransomed, and in 1627 went back to England. Becoming a partner and agent for several merchants in London, he was engaged for years in the Indian trade.

He was an interpreter, trader and legislator in Maryland, and finally settled at Fleet's Bay, Lancaster County, Virginia. As early as 1629 he owned land in Virginia as recorded in the land office records.

In 1631 the ship Warwick with Captain Henry Fleet and John Dunton sailed for America and visited New England, the James River and the Chesapeake Bay. In 1632 he traded in New Hampshire and the Isles of Shoals.

While there, he was arrested by John Utey because his papers were not in order. Governor Harvey and John Utey become interested in Indians with furs to sell. Captain Fleet knew them, so in order to get help from him they let him go free.

He helped establish the Colony in Maryland and acted as interpreter and guide, and settled in Maryland. He was a Maryland Legislature Member in 1638. In 1642 the Virginian assembly gave him the right to explore for fourteen years.

In 1644 Lord Baltimore gave him the power to Captain General to visit the Susquehanna Indians and make a peace treaty with them. In 1646 he was appointed to organise an expedition against the Indians and build a fort in the valley of the Rappahannock River. In 1652-1653 the Virginian assembly renewed the "Privilege of Discovery" by authorizing Captain Henry Fleet and William Claybourne to discover and trade where no other Englishman had ever been before.

He was Burgess for Lancaster County in 1652 and a justice of Lancaster County 1653; and on the division of the county (when Rappahannock County, Virginia was formed) he was appointed by the Assembly, 13th December A.D. 1656, a Justice of Lancaster (of the quorum, and 2nd in the commission), and lieutenant-colonel of militia, and one of the Majesty Justices.

His opinions in regard to Indian affairs seem to have had much weight in the colony. He wrote "A Brief Journal of a Voyage made in the Bark Virginia, to Virginia and the other parts of the Continent of America," the manuscript of which is in the Lambeth Palace Library, London.

He was an active man, a useful citizen, a shrewd leader, an excellent interpreter, and contributed his full share towards laying the foundations of the Colony of Maryland, and building up the Colony of Virginia.

His lineage can be traced back to old England.
---------------------------

Henry Fleete was born about 1600 in Chatham Court, Kent, to William Fleete, a barrister and his wife Deborah Scott Fleete. Living both in Kent and London he grew up amidst the excitement of colonization for William Fleete had become an adventurer in the Virginia Company of London during its reorganization under the Third Charter in 1612. Thus when in 1619 it was agreed to establish in Virginia a particular plantation of settlers from the county of Kent, young Henry Fleete made plans to join. The ships carrying this Kentish contingent arrived in Virginia in 1621 carrying among them both Henry Fleete and his second cousin Sir Francis Wyatt, the new governor.

Shortly after arrival Fleete met Henry Spellman, trader and interpreter, who had lived with the Indians for two years in his earliest days in Virginia. In 1623 Fleete went traveling with Spellman on a trading cruise up the Potomac when Spellman and twenty of his men were killed and Fleete was taken captive. Spending the next five years as a prisoner of the Patawomekes gave Fleete a knowledge of Indian languages and customs far exceeding that of almost any other colonist.

After gaining his freedom in 1627 he traveled back to England where he told his tales of Indian lands and possessions and attracted a merchant, William Cloberry, as a backer. For the next four years Fleete took Cloberry's ship, Paramour, on voyages as far north as New England exchanging corn for trade goods to use in trading with the Indians for furs. At the same time he patented his first land, 100 acres, on the Eastern Shore and established trading posts on land which later became Maryland. In 1631 after another trip to England and the acquisition of a new sponsoring merchant, he continued his trading voyages, now on the Warwick, while opening up the beaver trade on the upper Potomac.
    
The success of his trade with the Indians led him to close acceptance first by Governor Harvey of Virginia and then by Governor Calvert when Maryland was established in 1634. Fleete was in fact the one who recommended the site for St Mary's City and who took the lead in negotiations with the Indians for the land, a former Indian village, at that site. In return he received from the proprietor a patent for 4000 acres across the bay from St Mary's City.         
    
Fleete was very active over the rest of the decade in both public and private activities. He
captured one of William Claiborne's vessels in the conflict over Claiborne's trading activities on proprietary land. He served both colonies in negotiating Indian treaties and was active in the Maryland Assembly. In 1637 he went to England and returned with a shipload of trade goods, but now encountered a Maryland demand for 10% of his trade proceeds on both the New England and Indian trade. By1639 he had moved to Virginia but maintained property and activities in both colonies. In 1644 he negotiated Indian treaties for Maryland, and in 1645 he was involved in planning and participating in an expedition against the Indians after the second massacre, while also negotiating for corn from neutral tribes.

His life became that of a more traditional colonist after a trip to England from 1646 to 1648 during which time he married a widow, Sarah Burden, with whom he had one son, Henry Fleete. Upon his return to Virginia he found that the lands north of the Rappahannock were opening up and he patented 1750 acres near Windmill Point.

To encourage Indian trade the Assembly authorized both Fleete and William Claiborne to retain for fourteen years the rights to the profits from any trade they might discover where no other Englishman had ever been. However over the ensuing years, Fleete gave up his trading and merchant careers, and became involved in local govenment.

He helped establish Lancaster County and was one of its first burgesses and a justice of the county court. At the peak he owned 13,197 acres in the Northern Neck. His name appears in a number of court records, the last being in Sept 1660 to discuss protection of Indian settlements. Eight months later there was a reference to his widow, Sara Fleete. Location of his grave is unknown.

 1346 - 1397 Richard FitzAlan 51 51 RICHARD FITZALAN ARUNDEL, 4TH EARL OF SURREY, (b.1346 - - d. Sept. 21, 1397, London, England) was one of the chief opponents of Richard II.

He began as a member of the royal council during the minority of Richard II and about 1381 was made one of the young king's governors. About 1385 he joined the baronial party led by the King's uncle. Thomas Woodstock, duke of Gloucester, and in 1386 was a member of the commission appointed to regulate the kingdom and the royal household. As admiral of the west and south he gained a victory over the French and Spanish and their allies off Margate in 1387.

Then came the King's futile attempt to arrest Arundel, which was the signal for the outbreak of hostilities. The Gloucester faction quickly gained the upper hand, and Arundel was again a member of the royal council. After a personal altercation with the King of Westminster in 1394, Arundel underwent a short imprisonment. In 1397 he was involved in a conspiracy against Richard II and was beheaded on Tower Hill.

His marriage to Isabel le Despenser was annulled on 4 December 1344 by Papal mandate, supposedly on the grounds that they were married during their minority, and without their consent.

The reality is that the Earl probably wished to be rid of his wife, who had no value to him after her father's attainder and exectution.

He held the office of Sheriff of Shropshire in 1345. He held the office of Admiral of the West between 1345 and 1347.

He fought in the Battle of Crécy on 26 August 1346, where he commanded the 2nd division. He fought in the fall of Calais in 1347.

He succeeded to the title of 10th Earl of Arundel in 1347. On 30 June 1347 he succeeded to the vast estates of the family of Warenne. He succeeded to the title of  Earl of Surrey on 12 April 1361.

Edmund of ENGLAND b: 16 JAN 1244/1245 in, London, England 1206 - 1272 King Henry III of England 66 66 Henry III was born in 1207 and succeeded his father John on the throne of England in 1216. It was a ravaged inheritance, the scene of civil war and anarchy, and much of the east and south eastern England was under the control of the French Dauphin Louis. But Henry had two great protectors---his liege lord the Pope, and the aged William Marshal.

The Marshal, by a combination of military skill and diplomatic ability, saw off the Dauphin by September, 1217, but less than two years later he was dead, and a triumvirate ruled in his place: the papal legal Pandulf; the Poitevin Bishop of Winchester Peter des Roches; and the Justiciar Hubert de Burgh. The legate departed in 1221; two years later Henry became of age and, rejecting Peter, chose Hubert to be his chief counsellor.

Trouble soon came, as Hubert attempted to re-asert royal authority. Barons, who had kept their castles undistrubed and exercised their powers without supervison, were now called to account to the haughty justiciar, and the party of Peter des Roches did not fail to underline the annoyances involved. The years 1223-4 were taken up with quelling rebellions.

Meanwhile the situation abroad was even more disturbing: the French king Philip Augustus was eating up English lands in Gascony, and Henry's mother Isabella made a bad situation worse by her marriage with Count Hugh of Lusignan. It was only in 1230 that a badly prepared English force set out for France and, after much squabbling, all it was able to do was make a demonstration march through Gascony.

Hubert had already had one dismal failure in Wales in 1228, and his arrogant attempts to build up a personal base in the Marches provoked a Welsh raid in 1231 which did more harm to his good name. Hubert was thrust out of power, to be replaced by Peter des Roches' Poitevins. But by 1234 they had upset the baronage of England, who had never taken kindly to foreigners other than the Normans, and Richard Marshal combined with Edmund of Abington, Archbishop of Canterbury, to force the King to replace them.

Henry now began his period of personal rule, and the world was to see what sort of king he would make. He was a simple, direct man, trustful on first impression, but bearing a life-long grudge when people let him down. At times lavish and life-loving, he could show another side of his nature, that wicked Angevin temper and streak of vindictive cruelty. He had a very refined taste, and enjoyed building and restoration work more than anything else. Surrounded by barons who had been proved in the hardest schools of war, the King had the spirit of an interior decorator; the nation could have born the expense of his artistic tastes, could have forgiven the eccentricity of it all, but Henry showed time and again that he was timorous as well as artistic. He feared thunderstorms, and battle was beyond him.

The Crown had some 60 castles in England, and these were in a bad state after the troubles of John's reign and the minority. Henry travelled about tirelessly rebuilding them and making them more comfortable, spending at least ten per cent of his income on building works. He personally instructed his architects in great detail, and could not wait for them to finish---it must be ready for his return 'even if a thousand workmen are required every day' and the job must be 'properly done, beautiful and fine.' In addition he built or restored twenty royal houses, decorating them sumptiously. The painted chamber at Westminster was 80 ft. long, 26 ft. wide, and 31 ft. high. The walls were all wainscotted (at Winchester even the pantry and cellar were wainscotted) and painted with pictures and proverbs. The subjects of the pictures varied according to the royal moods---in May 1250 the Queen borrowed a book about the crusades, and a year later the walls at Clarendon showed Richard the Lionheart duelling with Saladin. Wherever there were no pictures, there was the King's favourite decor---green curtains spangled with gold stars. The floors were tiled, the windows glazed (and barred after 1238 when an attempted assassination scared Henry out of his wits---he even had the vent of the royal privy into the Thames barred over) and fireplaces provided the ultimate in luxury. Special rooms sprouted everywhere, including the room where the royal head was washed.

If his private comfort bulked large in Henry's mind, his public display of piety came a close second: these were neatly combined in the royal bedroom where a window was fitted to look into the chapel. His greatest project was the rebuilding of Westminster Abbey, on which he spent nearly £50, 000---the equivalent of £4, 000, 000 today. He had been so thrilled with St. Louis' Sainte Chapelle that he had wanted to put it on a cart and roll it back to England. That was impossible, so he had to build his own. He finished it in 1269, and proudly put up the inscription 'As the rose is the flower of all flowers, so this is the house of houses.'

For a while Henry had reason for pride: he married Eleanor, daughter of the Count of Savoy, and sister of the Queen of France, the finest match in Europe; his sister Isabella was married to the Emperor Frederick II, and his son Edward to Eleanor of Castille. He persuaded the Germans to elect his brother, Richard of Cornwall, King of the Romans.

On the other hand, his foreign policy was leading him into dangers. In 1242 he foolishly allowed himself to be led into supporting his mother's ambitions in Poitou, and the enmity with France was to continue needlessly until the settlement of 1259. Louis IX had no desire to be his enemy---in 1254 all England was amazed at the French King's generous gift of an elephant, which the historian Matthew Paris went to draw in the Tower of London.

In 1246 Henry's mother died (to almost universal relief) and he generously invited his four Lusignan half-brothers to live out their orphanage under his roof. He gave them large incomes, but they took more, milking the land as hard as they could in the last moments before bankruptcy. The English hated them for their avarice, price, and foreign-ness.

In ecclesiastical affairs Henry's hands were hopelessly tied---the Pope had always been his chief prop, and the King could not afford to lose his aid. There was a strong movement for reform, but the papacy's desparate need for money to prosecute its war against the Hohenstauffen made reform a secondary consideration, and indeed frequently blocked it. But Henry may justly be criticised for his foolishness in accepting the papal offer of the crown of Sicily for his son Edmund in 1250. The payment was to meet the astonomical debts of the Pope, and Richard of Cornwall had already wisely turned down this bad bargain, commenting that he had been offered the moon, if he could reach it.

Henry's need for money dominated most of his domestic policy. During the period of his personal government he obtained what he needed by getting legalists and professional civil servants to manipulate the complex chaos of the feudal government he had inherited. Government became a secret and centralised affair, excluding the barons, great and small. There are many comparisons here with the tyranny of Chales I.

In 1258 came the explosion: Parliament refused a grant unless Henry should exile his grasping half-brothers, and allow a commission of enquiry. A committee was set up to control the appointment of Crown officials, examine and reform local government, and supervise the affairs of the realm in general.

This was a revolt, but it had many obscure roots. One cannot assess how deeply felt were the demands for just and equal government voiced by Simon de Montfort, but certainly there were other elements in the baronial party which were reactionary rather than revolutionary, wanting to return to baronial government for its own sake. On this issue the reformers spilt, Gloucester leading the conservatives, and de Montfort the radicals. Henry saw his chance, and deftly using the ever valuable support of the Pope, shook off the Committee's control.

Now came war, and the stunning defeat of the royal party at Lewes in 1264. From this point onwards Henry was very much a broken man, though prone to bouts of vicious anger. The initiative was passed to his son, the Lord Edward, who defeated de Montfort at Evesham, where Henry was rescued, scratched and shouting 'Do not hurt me.'

Henry longed for revenge, and disinherited the rebels, who fled to hideouts in the fens to continue the war. The papal legate Ottobono persuaded the King to go so far, in the Dictum of Kenilworth of 1266, as to allow the rebels to buy back their estates. Still not satisfied, the disinherited, under Gloucester's leadership, took London, and Richard of Cornwall negotiated an easier peace. In 1267 the Statute of Marlborough embodied much of what de Montfort had fought for, and the long years of trouble were over.

Henry had at least survived, and his last years were happy in that he fininshed building his patron saint's Abbey of Westminster. The wheel of fortune that decorated so many of his palaces' walls had come round, and all the rage and terror were done with. Henry died in 1272.

John and Magna Carta

John (reigned 1199-1216) was an able administrator interested in law and government but he neither trusted others nor was trusted by them. Heavy taxation, disputes with the Church (John was excommunicated by the Pope in 1209) and unsuccessful attempts to recover his French possessions made him unpopular. Many of his barons rebelled and in June 1215 they forced the King to sign a peace treaty accepting their reforms.

This treaty, later known as Magna Carta, limited royal powers, defined feudal obligations between the King and the barons, and guaranteed a number of rights. The most influential clauses concerned the freedom of the Church; the redress of grievances of owners and tenants of land; the need to consult the Great Council of the Realm so as to prevent unjust taxation; mercantile and trading relationships; regulation of the machinery of justice so that justice be denied to no one; and the requirement to control the behaviour of royal officials. The most important clauses established the basis of habeas corpus ('you have the body'), i.e. that no one shall be imprisoned except by due process of law, and that 'to no one will we sell, to no one will we refuse or delay right or justice'.

The Charter also established a council of barons who were to ensure that the Sovereign observed the Charter, with the right to wage war on him if he did not. Magna Carta was the first formal document insisting that the Sovereign was as much under the rule of law as his people; and that the rights of individuals were to be upheld even against the wishes of the sovereign. As a source of fundamental constitutional principles, Magna Carta came to be seen as an important definition of aspects of English law, and in later centuries as the basis of the liberties of the English people.

As a peace treaty Magna Carta was a failure and the rebels invited Louis of France to become their king. When John died in 1216 England was in the grip of civil war.

John I "Lackland" Plantagenet King of England b: 24 DEC 1166 in Kings Manor House, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England 1132 - 1189 King Henry II of England 57 57 Henry II was born at Le Mans in 1133. He was the eldest son of the Empress Matilda, daughter of Henry I, by her second marriage to Geoffrey the Fair of Anjou. His parents' marriage was tempestous, and both parties were glad when politics brought a separation, with Matilda going to England to fight King Stephen, and Geoffrey of Normandy to win a heritage for young Henry.

He first came to England at the age of nine when his mother made her dramatic escape from Oxford where she was besieged by Stephen, across the ice and snow, dressed all in white, to welcome him at Wallingford. His next visit, when he was fourteen, showed his character: he recruited a small army of mercenaries to cross over and fight Stephen in England, but failed so miserably in the execution of his plans that he ended up borrowing money from Stephen to get back home. A third expedition, two years later, was almost as great a failure. Henry was not a soldier, his were skills of administration and diplomacy; warfare bored and sometimes frightened him. For the meanwhile he now concentrated on Normandy, of which his father had made him joint ruler. In 1151, the year of his father's death, he went to Paris to do homage to Louis VII for his duchy. There he met Queen Eleanor, and she fell in love with him.

Henry was by no means averse. To steal a king's wife does a great deal for the ego of a young duke; he was as lusty as she, and late in their lives he was still ardently wenching with 'the fair Rosamund' Clifford, and less salubrious girls with names like 'Bellebelle'; finally, she would bring with her the rich Duchy of Aquitaine, which she held in her own right. With this territory added to those he hoped to inherit and win, his boundaries would be Scotland in the north, and the Pyrenees in the south.

Henry was, apart from his prospects, a 'catch' for any woman. He was intelligent, had learned Latin and could read and possibly write; immensely strong and vigorous, a sportsman and hard rider who loved travel; emotional and passionate, prone to tears and incredible rages; carelessly but richly dressed, worried enough in later life to conceal his baldness by careful arrangement of his hair, and very concerned not to grow fat.

But now he was in the prime of youth, and in 1153, when he landed with a large force in Bristol, the world was ready to be won. He quickly gained control of the West Country and moved up to Wallingford for a crucial battle with Stephen. This was avoided, however, because in thepreparations for the battle Henry fell from his horse three times, a bad omen. Henry himself was not superstitious -- he was the reverse, a cheerful blasphemer -- but he disliked battles and when his anxious advisers urged him to heed the omen, he willingly agreed to parley privately with Stephen. The conference was a strange occasion: there were only two of them there, at the narowest point of the Thames, with Henry on one bank and Stephen on the other. None the less, they seem to have come to an agreement to take negotiations further.

That summer Stephen's son died mysteriously, and Eleanor bore Henry an heir (about the same time as an English whore Hikenai produced his faithful bastard Geoffrey). The omens clearly showed what was soon confirmed between the two -- that when Stephen died, Henry should rule in his place. A year later Stephen did die, and in December 1154, Henry and Eleanor were crowned in London.

Henry was only 21, but he soon showed his worth, destroying unlicensed castles, and dispersing the foreign mercenaries. He gave even-handed justice, showing himself firm, but not unduly harsh. A country racked by civil war sighed with relief. Only two major difficulties appeared: first Henry's failure in his two Welsh campaigns in 1157 and 1165, when guerilla tactics utterly defeated and on the first occasion nearly killed him; second was the reversal of his friendship for Becket when he changed from being Chancellor to Archbishop of Canterbury in 1162.

The quarrel with Becket was linked with the King's determination to continue his grandfather's reform of the administration of justice in the country. He was anxious for a uniform pattern, operated by royal justices, to control the corrupt, ill-administered and unequal local systems operated by barons and churchmen. At Clarendon in 1166 and Northampton in 1176, he got his council's agreeemnt to a series of measures which established circuits of royal justices dealing with the widest range of criminal activities. The method of operation was novel, too, relying on a sworn jury of inquest of twelve men. Though not like a modern jury, in that they were witnesses rather than assessors, the assize juries were the ancestors of the modern English legal system.

Henry travelled constantly, and much of the time in his Contninental territories, for there were constant rebellions to deal with, usually inspired or encouraged by Louis of France. Henry was determined to keep the integrity of his empire, and to pass it on as a unity. To do this was no small task, but in 1169 Henry held a conference with the King of France which he hoped would achieve his objectives: he himself again did homage for Normandy, his eldest son Henry did homage for Anjou, Maine and Brittany, and Richard for Aquitaine. The next year he had young Henry crowned in his own lifetime. If anything could preserve the succession, surely this would, yet, in fact, it brought all the troubles in the world onto Henry's head, for he had given his sons paper domains, and had no intention that they should rule his empire. Yet a man with a title does not rest until he has that title's power.

Late in 1171 Henry had a pleasant interlude in Ireland -- escaping from the world's condemnation for the murder of Becket. He spent Christmas at Dublin in a palace built for him out of wattles by the Irish.

Meanwhile, Eleanor had been intriguing with her sons, urging them to revolt and demand their rights. Early in 1173 they trooped off to the French court, and with Louis joined in an attack on Normandy. Henry clamped Eleanor into prison and went off to meet the new threat. Whilst he was busy meeting this, England was invaded from Flanders and Scotland, and more barons who fancied a return of the warlord days of Stephen broke into revolt.

Plainly it was St. Thomas's revenge, and there was no hope of dealing with the situation without expiation. In July 1174 Henry returned to England, and went in pilgrim's dress to Canterbury. Through the town he walked barefoot, leaving a trail of blood on the flinty stones, and went to keep his vigil of a day and a night by the tomb, not even coming out to relive himself. As he knelt, the assembled bishops and all the monks of Christchurch came to scourge him -- each giving him three strokes, but some with bitterness in their hearts laying on with five.

It was worth it though, for the very morning his vigil ended Henry was brought the news that the King of Scotland had been captured. He moved quickly northwards, receving rebels' submission all the time. He met up with Geoffrey who had fought valiantly for him, and commented, 'My other sons have proved themselves bastards, this one alone is my true and legitimate son.'

Returning to France, he quickly came to an agreement with Louis and his three rebel sons, giving each a substantial income, though still no share of power.

Richard set to work reducing the Duchy of Aquitaine to order, and quickly proved himself an able general who performed tremendous feats, such as capturing a fully manned and provisioned castle with three walls and moats to defend it. But the people were less easy to subdue -- they loved war for its own sake as their poet-leader, Bertrand de Born, shows well in his works: '. . . I love to see amidst the meadows tents and pavilions spread; and it gives me great joy to see drawn up on the field knights and horses in battle array; and it delights me when the scouts scatter people and herds in their path; and my heart is filled with gladness when I see strong castles besieged, and the stockades broken and overwhelmed, and the warriors on the bank, girt about by fosses, with a line of strong stakes, interlaced . . . Maces, swords, helms of different hues, shields that will be riven and shattered as soon as the fight begins; and many vassals struck down together; and the horses of the dead and wounded roving at random. And when battle is joined, let all men of good lineage think of nought but the breaking of heads and arms: I tell you I find no such savour in food or in wine or in sleep as in hearing the shout "On! On!" from both sides, and the neighing of steeds that have lost their riders, and the cries of "Help! Help!"; and in seeing men great and small go down on the grass beyond the fosses; in seeing at last the dead, with the pennoned stumps of lances still in their sides.'

These robust knights were actively encouraged by the young King Henry. He was handsome, charming and beloved of all, but also feckless and thoughtless -- far keener on tournaments and frivolity than the serious business of government. Then in the midle of his new rebellion he caught disentery and shortly died. His devoted followers were thunderstruck -- one young lad actually pined to death -- and the rebellion fizzled out.

The young king was dead, but Henry, wary of previous errors, was not going to rush into making a new one. He called his favourite youngest son, John, to his side and ordered Richard to give his duchy into his brother's hands. Richard -- his mother's favourite -- had made Aquitaine his home and worked hard to establish his control there; he refused to give his mother's land to anyone, unless it were back to Eleanor herself.

Henry packed John off to Ireland (which he speedily turned against himself) whilst he arranged to get Eleanor out of her prison and bring her to Aquitaine to receive back the duchy. Meanwhile the new King of France, Philip, was planning to renew the attack on English territories, all the while the three, Henry, Richard, and Philip, were supposed to be planning a joint crusade.

In 1188 Henry, already ill with the absessed anal fistula that was to cause him such an agonising death, refused pointblank to recognise Richard as his heir. The crazy project for substituting John was at the root of it all, though Henry may have deluded himself into thinking he was playing his usual canny hand.

But diplomacy was giving way to the Greekest of tragedies. In June 1189, Philip and Richard advanced on Henry at his birthplace in Le Mans, and he was forced to withdraw with a small company of knights, showering curses on God. Instead of going to the safety of Normandy, he rode hard, his usual long distance, deep into Anjou. This worsened his physical condition and, in high fever, he made no effort to call up forces to his aid. Forced to meet Philip and Richard, he was so ill he had to be held on his horse whilst he deliriously mumbled his abject agreement to their every condition for peace.

Back in bed after his last conference he was brought the news that John, for whom he had suffered all this, had joined the rebels' side. Two sons -- both rebels -- were dead, two sons -- both rebels -- lived, and it was his bastard Geoffrey who now tended him in his last sickness. There was not even a bishop in his suite to give him the last rites. Over and again he cried out in agony "Shame! shame on a vanquished king!"

After his death the servants plundered him, leaving him in a shirt and drawers. When the marshall came to arrange the burial he had to scratch around for garments in which to dress the body. A bit of threadbare gold edging from a cloak was put around Henry's head to represent his sovereignty.

And yet Henry had forseen it all. According to Gerald of Wales, he had long before ordered a fresco for one of his rooms at Winchester: the picture showed an eagle being pecked by three eaglets, and a fourth perched on his head, ready to peck out his eyes when the time should come.

Emma OF ANJOU

MATILDA (1102-1167), empress, was the daughter of Henry I of England by his first marriage. She was betrothed in 1109 and married in 1114 to the German emperor Henry V. When her husband died (1125) leaving her childless, her father, whose only surviving legitimate child she then was, persuaded his reluctant barons to accept her, on oath, as his successor (Jan. 1, 1127). The novel prospect of a female ruler was itself unwelcome; Matilda's 17-year absence in Germany (where she was not unpopular) and her apparent arrogrance estranged her from her father's subjects. Difficulties also might result from her remarriage to provide for the succession. Her marriage in 1128 to Geoffrey Plantagenet, heir to Anjou and Maine (designed by Henry I, like her first marriage, for political ends), whose father, CountFulk, departed immediately after the ceremony to become the consort of Melisende of Jerusalem, flouted the barons' stipulation that she should not marry outside England without their consent, and was unpopular in Normandy and England. On Henry I's death, his nephew Stephen by prompt action secured England and was recognized by Pope Innocent II. Matilda and Geoffrey, however, made some headway in Normandy. Matilda's subsequent challenge to Stephen's position in England mainly depended on the support of her half-brother Earl Robert of Gloucester. After the defeat and capture of Stephen at Lincoln (Feb. 1141), Matilda was elected "lady of the English" and would have been queen could she have proceeded to coronation, but active support for her cause still came mainly from the western counties. Her chance of consolidating her precarious victory was swiftly destroyed by a reaction initated by her tactless handling of London. After her defeat at Winchester in Sept. 1141, her supporters, slowly reduced by death and defection, maintained a stubborn defense until Earl Robert died (1147) and Matilda retired (1148) to Normandy, of which her husband had gained possession. She continued to interest herself in the government of the territories of her eldest son, the future Henry II of England. Her career was not entirely unsuccessful: all the subsequent monarchs of England have been her descendants, not Stephen's. She died in Normandy on Sept. 10, 1167. 1113 - 1151 Geoffrey Plantagenet 38 38 Event: ACCEDED 1129 5th Count of Anjou

Also known as "The handsome". The Plantagenet name was originated by Geoffrey because he sported a sprig of broom plant that he always wore in his hat.

"Beauclerc" England.

Burke says the marriage was April 2, 1127. The name Plantagenet, according to Rapin came from when Fulk the Great being stung from remorse for some wicked action, in order to atone for it, went a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and was scourged before the Holy Sepulchre with broom twigs. Earlier authorities say it was because Geoffrey bore a branch of yellow broom (Planta-genistrae) in his helm. Duke of Normandy 1144-1150.

Geoffrey IV, also called GEOFFREY PLANTAGENET, byname GEOFFREY THE FAIR, French GEOFFROI PLANTAGENET, or GEOFFROI le BEL (b. Aug. 24, 1113--d. Sept. 7, 1151, Le Mans, Maine [France]), count of Anjou (1131-51), Maine, and Touraine and ancestor of the Plantagenet kings of England through his marriage, in June 1128, to Matilda (q.v.), daughter of Henry I of England. On Henry's death (1135), Geoffrey claimed the duchy of Normandy; he finally conquered it in 1144 and ruled there as duke until he gave it to his son Henry (later King Henry II of England) in 1150.

Geoffrey was popular with the Normans, but he had to suppress a rebellion of malcontent Angevin nobles. After a short war with Louis VII of France, Geoffrey signed a treaty (August 1151) by which he surrendered the whole of Norman Vexin (the border area between Normandy and Île-de-France) to Louis.

Theuderic III Of The Franks b: ABT. 654 ~0635 Saint Bathildis ~0654 - ~0691 King Theuderic III of Franks 37 37 Thierri=Theuderic III, King de Neustrie (Rosamond, Frankish kingdom under Carolingians.) (Paul, Nouveau Larousse Universel.) (Stuart, Royalty for Commoners, Page 90, Line 123-46.) (Andre Castelot, Histoire de La France, Tome 1, Pages 250 - 259, 256). Born: in 651 in Neustrie, son of Clovis II, King de Bourgogne and Sainte Bathilde, Some sources assert that Thierry III was born in 651 while others claim it was circa 654. Note - between 673 and 690: Thierri III became King of Neustrie upon the death of Clotaire III between 10 March and 15 May 673. The Crown was given him by Ebroin, Major Domo. It is Ebroin's excesses which caused the Greats [Optimates] to rebel in 674 and to call upon Childeric II, King of Austrasia for help. Thierri III was de-throned in 674 by Childeric II who died in 675 allowing Thierri III to re-claim the throne. In 674, he was shaven and relegated to Saint-Denis. Ebroin was exiled to the Monastery of Luxeuil [Haute-Saone] . In 676, Thierry III left Saint-Denis to become King of Neustria and of Burgundy with the help of Major Domo Leger.

Ebroin, however, first supports Clotaire III, a son of Clovis III, and then he swings to Thierry III. Thierry III for his part is first and foremost King of Neustria and of Burgundy and the Greats [Optimates] of Austrasia want a King of their own. Thus, they find Dagobert II, son of Sigebert III, who had been exiled in Ireland. For all practical purposes, Dagobert II is King of Austrasia, whereas Ebroin rules Neustria and Burgundy in the name of Thierry III. By 680, through the death in 679 of Dagobert II, Thierry III is sole King of Gaule. But in reality the antagonism between the Neustrians and the Austrasians was quite aggravated. Austrasia is at that time governed by the grandson of Pepin de Landen, Pepin II, who makes himself Duke of Austrasia, supported by his brother Martin. In the Summer of 680, the two armies join in battle at Leucofao [known today as Bois-du-Fay] in the Ardennes.

The Austrasians are defeated and Pepin escapes. Martin is taken prisoner in Laon, where he had sought refuge. Ebroin had promised to let him live, and of course, he rushed to have him executed. Within 3 years Ebroin is himself assassinated by one Ermenfroy who takes refuge in Austrasia. In 687, Pepin II with the help of the Greats [Optimates] of Neustria, invades Neustria from the North-East. Though Thierry III was vanquished at the Battle of Tertry [three leagues from Saint-Quentin] by Pepin II, the latter still recognized Thierry III as King of Neustrie. Married before 674: Amalberge, daughter of Wandregisis and Farahild. Died: between March 691 and April 691 Thierry III died in March or April, and his son Clovis IV succeeds him, though he is barely 9 years of age. Thus, Pepin II [Pepin of Herstal] remains the true ruler.

"Because we have refered to Countess Gunnor on account of Rogerde Montgomery's mother, her niece, I should like to write down the story as reported by people of old of how Gunnor cane to be Duke Richard's wife. One day when Duke Richard was told of the celebrated beauty of the wife of one of his foresters, who lived at a place called Equiqueville near the town of Arques, he deliberately went hunting there in order to see for himself whether the report he had learned from several folk was true.While staying in the forester's house, the duke was so struck by the beauty of his wife's face that he summoned his host to bring his wife, called Sainsfrida, that night to his bed chamber. Very sadly the man told this to Sainsfrida, a wise woman, who comforted him by saying that she would send in her place her sister Gunnor, a virgin even more beautiful than her. And thus it happened. Once the duke perceived the trick he was delighted that he had not committed the sin of adultery with another man'swife. . . ."

Apart from Sainsfrida, Gunnor had two sisters, Wevia and Duvelina. The latter (Duvelina)*, with the help of thecountess, who was a very wise woman, married Turulf of Pont-Audemer. He was the son of someone called Torf, after whome several towns are called Tourville to the present day.Turulf's brother was Turketil, father of Ansketil of Harcourt.Turulf had by his wife Humphrey of Vieilles, father of Roger of Beaumont. The third of Countess Gunnor's sisters (Wevia)* married Osbern de Bolbec, by whom she bore the first Walter Giffard, and then Godfrey, father of William of Arques. . . ."

* The original manuscript, of which several copies survive, did not further identify these sisters, other than as "the latter"and "the third". This resulted in a certain degree of confusion, since Duvelina is actually named third, but had already been described as "the latter". However, in Robert's autographed copy, he has specifically inserted their names, which removes all ambiguity. Thus we have Sainsfrida married to the unnamed forester of (St. Vaast d') Equiqueville, Wevia married to Osbern de Bolbec, and Duvelina married to Turulf de Pont-Audemer.

There have been many requests for information on the various Normanrelationships compiled by Robert de Torigny. This is an attempt tosummarize and harmonize several recent works on some of the lines:

Elisabeth M C van Houts. Robert of Torigni as Genealogist. in Studiesin Medieval History presented to R. Allen Brown, p.215-33.

Kathleen Thompson. The Norman Aristocracy before 1066: the Example ofthe Montgomerys. in Historical Research 60:251-63.

K S B Keats-Rohan. Aspects of Torigny's Genealogy Revisited. inNottingham Medieval Studies 37:21-7.
Robert de Torigny, writing after the Norman Conquest, recorded thegenealogical traditions which tied many of the Norman nobility to thefamily of Gunnor, first mistress of Richard I, then Duchess ofNormandy. He reported the tradition that Richard had become infatuatedwith the wife of one of his foresters, but being the pious wife, shesubstituted her sister Gunnor, much to everyone's satisfaction. Heproceded to name the siblings of Gunnor, and also indicated the shehad numerous nieces, who are left unnamed, but whose marriages anddescendants are provided.
The genealogical information contained in his account has at varioustimes been praised and condemned, but recent opinion seems to favorthe view that, while minor errors abound, the genealogies accuratelyrepresent a tradition of shared descent that may account for the rapidrise of these nobles.

The parentage of Gunnor and her siblings is unknown. While somesources call her father Herfastus, this was in fact the name of herbrother. She has also been claimed as daughter of the Danish royalfamily, but there is no evidence for this, and the context of hercoming to the attention of Richard I and the family's subsequent riseto power militates against her being a royal daughter. Douglas argued(in a 1944 English Historical Review article on the family of WilliamFitz Osbern), based on the donations of brother Arfast to themonastery of St. Pere, that the root of the family was in the Cotetinregion of Normandy, but van Houts has suggested that the Cotetin landwas granted to Arfast, rather than inherited by him. Thus we are leftwith the more ambiguous statements of Torigny and others that she wasa member of a Norman family of Danish origins.

The only known brother of Gunnor was Arfast/Herfast, of whom we gainwhat little insight we have from a trial of heretics conducted by KingRobert II of France. Arfast testified that he had pretended to jointhe sect, all the better to denounce them when the time arose. Helater donated lands to the monastery of St. Pere, to which he retired.He had at least two sons: Osbern, who was steward to the later Dukes, and was murdered by William de Montgomery while defending the youngDuke William; and Ranulf, known from charters. Osbern maried a nieceof Richard I (the daughter of his half-brother) and by her was thefather of the Conquest baron William Fitz Osbern.

Gunnor had at least three sisters, of which the oldest appears to havebeen Senfria (Seinfreda), who was wife of the (unnamed) forester fromthe area of St. Vaast d'Equiqueville, and it was her charms which aresaid first to have attracted the attentions Duke Richard I. Sheappears to have had at least one daughter, Joscelina, wife of Hugh deMontgomery. (Torigny makes Joscelina daughter of another sister, Wevia, but a contemporary of Torigny, in demonstrating thegenealogical impediment to a marriage of a bastard of Henry I to aMontgomery descendant specifically calls Joscelina's mother Senfria, and the inheritance by the Montgomerys of large holdings suggests thatJoscelina was a significant coheiress to her parents, which does notmatch Wevia's family where the two sons would be expected to acquiremost of the family land.) Hugh de Montgomery and Joscelina had a sonRoger, but contrary to Torigny's statements, he was not the Conquestbaron of that name, but instead his father. By a wife possibly namedEmma, Roger had: Hugh; Roger (who married Mabel of Belleme and playeda significant role in pre-Conquest Normandy); William (who murderedcousin Osbern); Robert, and Gilbert.

Duvelina, a second sister of Gunnor, married Turulf de Pont Audemer, son of a Norman founder Torf, and uncle of the first of the Harcourts.They had at least one son, Humphrey de Vielles, who in turn was fatherof Roger de Beaumont, another Conquest-era baron.

Wevia, the only other sister of Gunnor named by Torigny, marriedOsbern de Bolbec (who is otherwise unknown to history). They had atleast two sons: Walter Giffard, ancestor of the EnglishGiffard/Gifford families, and also, through a daughter, of the Clarefamily; and Godfrey, whose son William de Arques had two daughters andco-heiresses.

Torigny indicates that Gunnor had numerous nieces, naming thedescendants of several of them, but usually not naming the niecesthemselves or their parents. As has already been seen with nieceJoscelina, the accounts of these families are more difficult toharmonize with other available sources.

One niece is said to have married Nicholas de Bracqueville, and tohave had William Martel and Walter de St. Martin. As to Martel, thereseems to have been a connection to Bracqueville, since Hawise, daughter of Nicholas married Hugh de Wareham, son of a Grippo. Hughhad a brother Geoffrey Martel, but beyond this no recent analysisprovides any insight as to the descent of the later Martels. Walter deSt. Martin is even more of a problem, since elsewhere Torignyincorrectly makes him brother of William de Warenne, but the ancestrygiven there is clearly false. Thus it is not clear that Torigny knewthe exact connection of Walter, and there is no evidence to helpclarify his true origins.

A second niece is said to have married Richard, vicomte of Rouen (whowas son of Tesselin). He had a son Lambert of St. Saens, whose sonHelias married a bastard daughter of Robert II of Normandy. (If theconnection here given is correct, then these two were within theprohibited degree, which may throw doubt on the relationship, orsimply suggest that the relationship did not come to light at thetime.) Based on later interactions between Montgomery and Warenne(thought to be related to this branch) it has been speculated thatthis niece was sister of Joscelina, which is possible but unsupported.

It appears to be through this family that the relationship of two moreNorman barons come into play, but not exactly as Torigny presents it.He shows yet another niece marrying Ranulph de Warenne, and by himhaving William de Warenne and Roger de Mortimer. This is clearlyuntrue, because Roger appears to have been a generation older thanWilliam. The solution appears to be that Torigny (as he had done withthe Montgomerys) compressed two people, a father and son of the samename, into one individual. Ranulph de Warenne (I) appears to havemarried Beatrice, sister of Richard, vicomte of Rouen, and thussister-in-law of one of Gunnor's nieces (thus it would appear thatthis family actually does not descend from a relative of Gunnor's, butis genealogically linked to some of her descendants) and had sons:Roger (de Mortimer) and Ranulph de Warenne (II), who in turn wasfather of another Ranulf (III) and of William de Warenne.

Finally, Torigny states that a niece married Osmund de Centumvillis, vicomte of Vernon, and had a son Fulk de Alnou, and a daughter whoseson was Baldwin de Reviers. Much debate has focussed on the attempt toidentify these men, but in the latter case, clearly a connection tothe Reviers/Vernon Earls of Devon is intended. The precise nature of the relationship is more difficult to pin down. It would seem that the first Earl Richard de Reviers and his brother Hugh were sons of a Baldwin, who had brothers Richard de Vernon (app. d.s.p.) and WilliamFitz Hugh de Vernon. (William, who was perhaps a uterine half-brother, had by wife Emma a son Hugh, often confused with the brother of EarlRichard. It is this error that has led to the statement that Emma wast he relative of Gunnor, which derives from a set of relationships hypothesized in Complete Peerage (CP, under Devon) and predicated onher being mother of Hugh, brother of Earl Richard, an untrue relationship, and on Richard being nephew of William Fitz Osbern, which is discussed below.) If Baldwin, father of Earl Richard, was the same as the grandson of Osmund de Centumvillis this would complete the picture, but one more relationship invites comment. Earl Richard issaid by an early source, cited by CP, to be nephew of William FitzOsbern. If the stated connection with vicomte Osmund is correct, then Baldwin de Reviers would have been too closely related to William FitzOsbern to have married his sister. (An alternative solution, that the wife of vicomte Osmund was sister of William Fitz Osbern, and hence grandniece of Gunnor, is chronologically impossible.) I suspect thatthis tradition records the memory that William Fitz Osbern was anolder male relative of Richard, rather than a precise genealogical relationship.

The work of Robert de Torigny thus provides a valuable source for the genealogical origins of the immediate pre-Conquest Norman aristocracy.When it has been possible to compare the information with other sources, some inconsistancies are found, but it is unclear whetherthese represent errors of Robert, or inaccuracies in the genealogical traditions he was recording. In most cases, an in-depth study of the available material has enabled modern historians to satisfactorillyreconstruct the descents from Gunnor's family and provide arepresentation of the true relationships among these early Norman families. 0933 - 0996 Duke Richard I of Normandy 63 63 3rd Duke of Normandy

Halfdan was some twenty years younger than Olaf. Asa got her revenge by having Gudrod killed, though neither son was too troubled because she was apparently buried very nicely. [Response: This is the tale told by Snorre. However, the fragments of Ynglingatal that he cites never refer to Halfdan being son of Gudrod. With the strained chronology, as well as the fact that Halfdan is placed in an entirely different geographic region than Olaf and Gudrod, it has all the appearance of a graft, of Halfdan's family into the heroic Ynglingas.] (from Gen-Medieval newsletter)

Gudrod is accepted as "semi-mythical" by some, and holds some
historical credence. [Response: Most attempts to give him historical credence come from attempts to identify him with the Godefrid of the Frankish annals, but there is really little reason for making this identification, so he is left supported only by Ynglingatal, and Kai has just suggested that it is less of a historical source than has been thought.] (from Gen-Medieval newsletter) Emina ~0911 Sporte de Bretagne Children

Because his father, who died in 1087, left him no land, Henry made several unsuccessful attempts to gain territories on the Continent. On the death of his brother William II in 1100, Henry took advantage of the absence of another brother-Robert (c.1054-1134), who had a prior claim to the throne-to seize the royal treasury and have himself crowned king at Westminster. Henry subsequently secured his position with the nobles and with the church by issuing a charter of liberties that acknowledged the feudal rights of the nobles and the rights of the church.

In 1101 Robert, who was duke of Normandy, invaded England, but Henry persuaded him to withdraw by promising him a pension and military aid on the Continent. In 1102 Henry put down a revolt of nobles, who subsequently took refuge in Normandy, where they were aided by Robert. By defeating Robert at Tinchebray, France, in 1106, Henry won Normandy. During the rest of his reign, however, he constantly had to put down uprisings that threatened his rule in Normandy. The conflict between Henry and Anselm, archbishop of Canterbury, over the question of lay investiture (the appointment of church officials by the king), was settled in 1107 by a compromise that left the king with substantial control in the matter. Because he had no surviving male heir, Henry was forced to designate his daughter Matilda (1102-67) as his heiress. After his death on Dec. 1, 1135, at Lyons-la-Foret, Normandy, however, Henry's nephew, Stephen of Blois, usurped the throne, plunging the country into a protracted civil war that ended only with the accession of Matilda's son, Henry II, in1154.

Henry, the fourth son of William the Conqueror, was born at Selby. Strangely, at the time William Rufus was shot in the New Forest, Henry was also hunting there and this may or may not be coincidence. He was crowned at Westminster on the 5th August, just three days after William's death. He married Matilda, sister of the King of Scotland and last survivor of the old Saxon monarchy. Henry was in some danger from his brother Robert who claimed the throne for himself. Robert was captured at the battle of Tinchebrai in 1106 and Henry imprisoned him in Cardiff Castle for the rest of his life. Henry was successful in keeping the peace in England despite spending much time in Normandy. He developed the English system of justice and organised the civil service of the time, particularly the taxation department. He was unpopular with the church leaders. He had only one legitimate son, William, but over twenty illegitimate children. His son William was drowned in 1120 aboard his personal vessel the "White Ship" when it struck a rock off the Normandy coast. He wanted his successor to be his daughter Matilda whom the English called Maud.

Note: William was the illegitimate son of Robert, Duke of Normandy. He won the English throne by defeating Harold II at Hastings in1066 and was crowned at Westminster Abbey on Christmas Day ofthe same year. Throughout his reign he retained the Dukedom of Normandy. Despite many uprisings, he ferociously defeated Anglo-Saxon resistance but Hereward the Wake defied him in theFens around Ely until 1071. Castles were built at strategic points, including Warwick and Windsor, first of earth banks andwooden keeps and later of massive stonework. For some 25 years the Normans lived as conquerors in an occupied land but they began to intermarry with the resident population and slowly adapted and adopted some of the Anglo-Saxon culture. William ordered the Domesday Book to be drawn up to record details of land holders and the value of every estate and surprisingly this took only a year to compile. The feudal system, with Normans as Barons was instituted and regular meetings of a Great Council ofadvisors was set up, with venues at Gloucester, Westminster and Winchester. Llanfranc was made Archbishop of Canterbury and building started on seven new cathedrals. William also set inhand the building of the Tower of London. William, who was 5ft 10ins, married Matilda of Flanders who was only 4ft 2ins.

Robert I, byname ROBERT The MAGNIFICENT, or The DEVIL, French ROBERT le MAGNIFIQUE, or le DIABLE (d. July 1035, Nicaea), duke of Normandy (1027-35), the younger son of Richard II of Normandy and the father, by his mistress Arlette, of William the Conqueror of England. On the death of his father (1026/27), Robert contested the duchy with his elder brother Richard III, legally the heir, until the latter's opportune death a few years later. A strong ruler, Robert succeeded in exacting the obedience of his vassals. On the death of Robert II the Pious, king of France (1031), a crisis arose over the succession to the French throne. The Duke gave his support to Henry I against the party favouring his younger brother; in reward for his services he demanded and received the Vexin Français, a territory not far north of Paris. A patron of the monastic reform movement, he died while returning from a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97] ~0982 - 1017 Judith of Brittany 35 35 ALIA: Judith de /Bretagne/

in addition to Italy, which he had received in 822. After the death of Louis I, Lothair attempted to assert his power over his brothers, but hewas defeated by them at Fontenoy, France, on June 25,
841. Bythe Treaty of Verdun (843), the title of Holy Roman emperor wasguaranteed to Lothair, together with sovereignty over Italy, Burgundy, Alsace, Lorraine, and the Low Countries. After
havingdivided his kingdom among his three sons, Lothair retired to amonastery. His second son, sometimes called Lothair II (circa835-69), reigned from 855 to 869 over the kingdom
ofLotharingia.

Some sources indicate that Robert II was born in the year 972 while other indicate the date 27 March 970 which would make his birth some three months after his father, Hughes Capet's, marriage to his mother, Adelaide.

Married in 989: Rosela=Suzanne, Princess of Italy, daughter of Berenger II, King of Italy and Willa d'Arles.

It is considered a strange idea on the part of Hughes that his young son should marry a woman who was some 32-years [some say she was even 37 years] older than Robert. In 988, she had become the widow of Arnoul II de Flandre. She is quite pretty but has "troubling" black eyes, but most importantly, she brings as dowry Montreuil-sur-Mer. This will allow the capetian sovereigns to have access to the French Channel.

Repudiated: Rosela=Suzanne, Princess of Italy in 992 in France Robert II repudiated his wife because she was "an old woman", but he would keep the dowry of Montreuil-sur-Mer.

Note - between 996 and 1031: Robert II became King of France upon the death of his father on 24 October 996. In 1000, Angers is destroyed by fire. When the King's Uncle, Henri, Duke of Burgundy died without heir in 1002 {the same year Strasbourg is completey destroyed by fire), Otto-Guillaume, Count of Burgundy, supported by the Chatelains, and local prelats. wanted to expand his territories. But, King Robert would have none of it, claiming that the duchy should remain without the capetian family. With the help of the Abbe of Cluny and the Bishop of Autun, and also supported by the Duke of Normandie, King Robert undertook a veritable conquest of Burgundy which would last some 12 years. In 1002, Robert helped the Lombards to establish a King for themselves in the person of Arduin of Ivrea [d'Ivree] .

In 1015, Brunon, Bishop of Langres, and principal ally of the Count of Burgundy, dies, and Otto-Guillaume renders Hommage to the King. Robert gives the Duchy to his son, Henri, but it is in title only, as the King insists on keeping the power of the properties of the kingdom as well as their revenues. In the footsteps of his father, Robert II associates his eldest son, Hughes, to the throne in 1017. This really miffs the lords of the court who were hoping for an election. But it is Queen Constance herself, who sees to it that her son does not get the least lands as part of the deal.

In 1018, Poitiers and Beauvais both are ravaged by fire, and the next year Rouen and Chartres also are destroyed by fire. In 1023, Eudes II de Blois takes over the succession of Champagne. Thus, the next 200 years, Blois, Chartres and Champagne would be a constant menace to the scant royal properties. Though Robert "Le Pieux" and Henri II, Emperor of Germany worked toward peace, these efforts came to an end in 1024 upon the death of Henri II.

When Robert's eldest son, Hughes dies in 1026, Robert prepares his second son, who would be Henri I. Married in 997 in Tours, Indre-et-Loire, Touraine, France: Princess Berthe de Bourgogne, daughter of Conrad I, King de Bourgogne and Mahaut=Mathilde, Princess de France; Robert had made Berthe, the beautiful widow of the Count of Anjou, his mistress in 996. But because it was better to sin a little bit than to sin a lot, he married her as King.

They are related in the third degree, and Robert is the godfather of one of Berthe's children. This spiritual relationship makes the marriage incestuous in the eyes of the Church. In 998, the Council, called by then Pope Gregory V, stipulates that Robert should leave Berthe forever, and do penance for 7 years in accordance with the laws of the Church. In the midst of the deliberations, Gregory V dies and is replaced by Pope Sylvester II who is none other than the Monk, Gerbert, ancient mentor of the King. However, while the pronouncement of an anathema is lifted, the excommunication is maintained.

In 1001, Robert concedes. Two years later, in 1003, he marries Constance. That same year on 7 February 1003, the old Queen Suzanne died. Repudiated: Princess Berthe de Bourgogne between 1001 and 1003. Married in 1003 in France: Constance de Provence, daughter of Guillaume I/II, Count de Provence and Adelais=Adele d'Anjou; Constance was Robert II's third wife. Constance would immediately satisfy Robert's needs for a male heir by giving him four boys, but her cruelty [when Constance spotted one of her mentors accused of heresy opn his way to the pyre to be burned alive, she stepped up to him and pierced one of his eyes with the pin of her corsage] and Southern ways would alienated and antagonize the Court.
The couple remained married beyond 1010, after Robert had been persuaded by Pope Sergius IV not to divorce Constance, but continued to quarrel until Robert's death. Hughes, their eldest son, was crowned in 1017, but died in 1025. The next son, Henry, was Robert's choice, but Constance favored their third son, Robert and fomented rebellions in his favor. Died: on 20 Jul 1031 in Meulun, Seine-et-Oise, Ile-de-France, France, Robert II is buried at Saint Denis. 0941 - 0996 King Hughe Capet of France, II 55 55 Birth: 941 in, France
Death: 24 OCT 996 in Chartres, France
King of France 987-996
Count of Paris, Poitou and Orleans

First of the Capetian Kings of France who ruled that nation for more than
1000 years.

Hughes II, King de France (Andre Roux: Scrolls, 79.) (Hallam, Capetian
France: 987 - 1328, Pages 67 - 69.) (Stuart, Royalty for Commoners,
Page 99, Line 134-34.) (Andre Castelot, Histoire de La France, Tome 1,
Pages 415, 424). AKA: Hughes Capet. AKA: Hughes Capet, Count de Paris.
AKA: Hughes Capet, Count de Poitou. AKA: Hughes Capet, Count
d'Orleans. Born: between 939 and 941, son of Hughes, dux
Francorum and Hadwige, Princess de Saxe.
Married in Jan 970 in France: Adelaide de Poitiers (,
daughter of Guillaume=William I, Comte d'Aquitaine
and Adele de Normandie ; Some sources indicate that
Alice and Hughes were married in 968. Note - between 987 and
996 in France: Hughes became King crowned and annointed on 3
July 987 in Noyon. Hughes was the Chief of the Capetian
Dynasty, and ruled as King from 987 to 996 with the support
of Adalberon, Archbishop of Reims, and of the ecclesiastical
Feudal churchmen. In 970, he married Adelaide de Poitiers,
daughter of Guillaume III "Tete d'Etoupe", Duke of
Aquitaine. In the first month, hoping to secure the suport
of the Emperor Lothar, Hughes returns Verdun to him. On 25
December 987, he has his son, Robert, crowned King in the
Cathedral of Sainte-Croix in Orleans, to rule over the
peoples West from the Meuse to the Ocean. He then gets the
idea in his head to have his son marry Suzanne known as
Rosala, daughter of the ex-King of Italy Berenger II, and
widow that very year of Arnould II, Comte de Flandre. She is
however 32, some claim 35, years older than young Robert.
Her dowry would bring to the Capetian House,
Montreuil-sur-Mer and direct access to the Channel. He was
victorious over the last Caroligiens, Charles de Lorraine,
with the help of Arnoul, Bishop of Orleans, and was at the
mercy of his vassals most notably the lords of Blois. His
beginnings were very weak: Consider the dispute: While
Adalbert, Comte de Perigord, laid siege to Tours, King
Hughes and his son, Robert, would never dare to declare war
on him, but they asked him "Who made you Count?", and
Adlabert answered "Who made you King?". Succinctly put, this
summarizes Hughes' difficult situation. Upon the death of
Theophano, Empress of Germany, one of Hughes most potent
enemies, one who had supported Charles de Lorraine and the
Archbishop Arnoul de Reims against Hughes, was eliminated in
992. However, Edues de Chartres would take Melun. At this
time, Hughes was in accord with Foulques Nerra, Comte
d'Anjou. Richard of Rouen also is called to the recue and
Melun is given back to its rightful owner, Bouchard de
Vendome. He had his son Robert canonized. Died: on 24 Oct
996 in Les Juifs, France, Les Juifs is near Chartres. Hughes
is buried at Saint Denis.

AKA: Hughes Magnus, Count d'Orleans.
AKA: Hughes Le Grand, Count de Vexin.
Also Known As: Hughes "Le Grand".
AKA: Hughes I, Duke de France.
AKA: Hughes "The White".

Son of Robert I, King de France and Beatrice de Vermandois.

Married in 922: Judith; Judith was Hughes' first wife.

Married between 926 and 927: Eadhild, Princess of England, daughter of Edward I, King of England and Eadgifu=Edgiva of Kent; Eadhild was Hughes' second wife.

Married in 938: Hadwige, Princess de Saxe, daughter of Henri I, Duke de Saxe and Mathilde, Countess de Ringelheim; Hadwige was Hughes' third wife.

Note - in 948: Hughes, Count of Paris, was the son of King Robert I, step-brother of King Raoul and father of Hughes Capet, founder of the third Capetian Race. When King Raoul died on 14 January 936, Hughes was the logical candidate for the succession, but he feared an insurrection, particularly by Herbert de Vermandois. He addressed the Assembly of Nobles: "King Charles ["Le Simple", who had been imprisonned by Herbert de Vermandois and died incarcerated in Peronne in 929] died miserably, whether he deserved his fate, the Divinity of the Throne has been stained by our crimes. First of all, if our fathers and indeed ourselves as well have committed acxts which have sounded the Divine Majesty, we must spare no effort to remove that stain. Let us jointly and all together agree on the choice of a Prince. My father [King Robert], although elected by your unanimous consent, made a big mistake in accepting the throne, since the only person who had the right to rule [King Charles "Le Simple"] was still alive and was in prison, though alive. Believe me, this could have been been agreeable in the eyes of God. Far be it from me to have the intention of taking my father's place! On the other hand, we must avoid inviting a member of a foreign family to succeed Raoul [Duke de Bourgogne, elected King in 923] whom we hold in pious memory, Since we know the consequences. Witness the discredit heaped upon the King, and the resulting discord within this Assembly itself. Consequently, let us take up the Royal Lineage, which has been temporarily broken. Therefore, recall from overseas, the son of Charles, Louis, and choose him for your King."

Hughes Le Grand was a shrewd and ambitious man who fought against Louis IV and was excommunicated at the Council of Ingelheim in 948.

This does not agree with any other lines, which have Robert de Condet's wife as Adeliza dau. of Ranulph le Meschin, Earl of Chester. The error in generation 24 is shown in the next generation of this line (246b-25) which has Adeliza dau. of Ranulph marrying first Richard Fitz Gilbert and then Robert de Condet. I believe this (generation 25) is correct. (jimweber@nwintl.com)

Richard Fitz-gilbert, a lawyer, was the founder of the House of Claire in England. He accompanied William the Conqueror into England and participated in the spoils of conquest, obtaining extensive possessions in the old and new dominion of his royal leader and kinsman. William the Conqueror, being the grandson of Richard, 4th Duke of Normandy, brother of Godfrey. At the time of Domesday survey he was called Richard de Tonebruge, now Tunbridge, in Kent, which town he had obtained from the Archbishop of Canterbury in lieu of the Castle of Brione. At this time he had nearly 200 lordships in various counties. One of these lordships was that of Clare, in County Suffolk, which subsequently becoming his chief seat, he became styled Richard de Clare. He married Rohese, or Rohais, daughter of Walter Giffard de Bolbec, who assisted in making the "General Survey." He is said to have fallen in a skirmish with the Welsh and was succeeded by his eldest son, Gilbert.

He was Seigneur de Saint Venant and de Malannoy in Artois from his wife who was the heiress of St. Venant. The lands of Beaufremez were part of the Chatellenie de -ille, and that the family Beaufremez, originating as de Wavrin took the name of the estates when they acquired them. ~1498 Catherine ~1494 Jean du Pret ~1132 - 1173 Matilda de St. Hilary (du Harcouet) 41 41 1116 - 1173 Roger de Clare 57 57 Children

Roger de Clare, 3rd Earl of Hertford, is likewise said to have born the title of Earl of Clare. In the 3rd Henry II, this nobleman obtaining from the king all the lands in Wales which he could win, marched into Cardigan with a great army and fortified divers castles thereabouts. In the 9th of the same reign, we find him summoned by the celebrated Thomas-Ã -Becket, archbishop of Canterbury, to Westminster, in order to do homage to the prelate for his castle of Tonebruge; which at the command of the king he refused, alleging that holding it by military service it belonged rather to the crown than to the church.

Ranulf or Randle de Meschines, surnamed de Bricasard, Viscount Bayeux, in Normandy, (son of Ralph de Meschines, by Maud, his wife, co-heir of her brother, Hugh Lupus, the celebrated Earl of Chester), was given by King Henry I the Earldom of Chester, at the decease of his 1st cousin, Richard de Abrincis, 2nd Earl of Chester, of that family, without issue. By some historians, this nobleman is styled Earl of Carlisle, from residing in that city; and they further state that he came over in the train of the Conqueror, assisted in the subjugation of England, and shared, of course, in the spoil of conquest. He was lord of Cumberland and Carlisle, by descent from his father, but having enfeoffed his two brothers, William, of Coupland, and Geffrey, of Gillesland, in a large portion thereof, he exchanged the Earldom of Cumberland for that of Chester, on condition that those whom he had settled there should hold their lands of the king, in capite.

Married: (1) c578, Bertha (c560-c602), dau. Charibert, king of Pans; (2) second wife unknown.
Athelbert is the first Anglo-Saxon king about whom we have some strong historical facts, although even these are inconclusive about the length of his reign or of his life. The ASC records his birth as being in 552, which could be right, though if he died in 618 he would be aged 66 and not 56 as suggested by Bede (Bede's reference is ambiguous and the 56 years has been interpreted as the length of his reign rather than his life). Other evidence, particularly that related to his marriage to Bertha, narrow the limits of his reign, but still give us a picture of a strong and wealthy king. Athelbert was the son of EORMENRIC whose alliance with the Merovingian Franks had brought both stability and wealth to the kingdom of Kent. Athelbert's sister, Ricula, had married the king of Essex (see SLEDDA), over whose territory Athelbert was overlord. Athelbert soon became regarded as the bretwalda or overlord of the other Saxon domains. This extended over the kingdoms of the East Angles, Lindsey, Mercia, the Middle Angles and to some extent the West Saxons. Athelbert's reign coincides with the first great period of Saxon domination after the death of ARTHUR and the expulsion of the remnant British Celts from the heartland of Britain. Although battles continued in the north and west, Kent remained comparatively free of conflict, and this allowed Athelbert to increase the wealth and influence of his kingdom. It is possible that early in his reign he had some expansionist skirmishes with CEAWLIN of the West Saxons - though the date recorded in the ASC (568AD) is wrong if it refers to Athelbert, it might refer to his father or to an incident early in Athelbert's reign (say around 583) which was a setback for Athelbert but only a temporary victory for Ceawlin.

It was thus especially significant that Athelbert was the first Saxon king to embrace Christianity. He already had sympathy with the religion because his wife was Christian and part of the marriage arrangement was that her chaplain, Liudhard, should accompany her. Liudhard was allowed to restore the old Roman church of St Martin's at Canterbury which had stood for some two centuries. Athelbert was initially cautious in welcoming the mission of Augustine who was sent by Pope Gregory I to convert the Saxons. Augustine landed at Thanet in 597 and was met by Athelbert under an oak tree which the Saxons venerated and which he believed would cancel any magic the Christians might practice. Athelbert recognized the sincerity of Augustine but declared he could not abandon the religion of his fathers. Nevertheless he allowed Augustine and his colleagues to establish a house at Canterbury, where they used Liudhard's church of St Martin's, and within a short period many hundreds of Athelbert's subjects were baptized. Athelbert himself was not baptized until 601, but thereafter he became fervent in his support. He actively encouraged Augustine to establish another church, in west Kent at Rochester, and a third in London, the original St Paul's. It was a sign of Athelbert's authority as bretwalda that he was able to organize a meeting between Augustine and the Celtic church, at a place later known as Augustine's Oak on the borders of Gloucestershire and Somerset, as part of Augustine's plan to bring the Celtic church under Roman authority. Unfortunately it failed because of Augus-tine's arrogance and, by association, it dented Athelbert's power.

With the help of Augustine, Athelbert established a set of law codes, which formed the basis of those later developed by OFFA and ALFRED. These had the innovation of giving particular protection to the church, but were otherwise probably developed from existing Frankish laws. They went into immense detail, bringing in a system of monetary fines (rather than payment in kind, such as livestock), allowing people to pay in instalments, and establishing the level of fine in accordance with the severity of the crime. The king was reckoned as overlord so that if any crime were committed within his kingdom, the perpetrator had to recompense the king as well as the victim (or victim's family). The law also gave considerable protection to women and allowed a wife to leave her husband if there was good cause, although the husband had the final say as to who kept the children. These laws not only restored a form of governance and administration to Britain, but with the emphasis on monetary compensation, also reinstituted a financial system. Coins were based on the Frankish design and Athelbert established a mint at Canterbury to produce his own coinage. He introduced the silver sceat as the common basis of coinage, the nearest equivalent to a penny, as a twentieth part of the gold solidus, or shilling.

Under Athelbert Kent became not only the most sophisticated, but in all probability the safest of Saxon kingdoms in England, and that in turn allowed it to become the wealthiest. This would have made it the envy of the other Saxon kings, particularly in the emerging states of Wessex and Mercia, so that it needed a strong monarch to sustain it. Athelbert was such a strong monarch, which was why he was acknowledged as bretwalda for much of his reign (probably from about 588), but he needed strong successors if his kingdom's power was to remain. Unfortu-nately that did not happen. His son, EADBALD, was a different character; he turned his back on Christianity and the power of Kent faded. Nevertheless, the Christian message was sustained by Athelbert's daughter, Athelburh, who married EDWIN of Northumbria, and introduced Christianity to the northern Angles. Athelbert was later venerated as a saint. A small cult developed in Kent, probably soon after the king's death, but the main centre of his worship developed in the thirteenth century. Not only was he the first Saxon saint in Britain he was, more significantly, the first Saxon king to be so venerated. ~0515 - ~0560 King Eormenric of Kent 45 45 Eormenic is recorded variously as the son or grandson of oisc. As Oisc died at Badon around 516 Eormenric is unlikely to have been his son, and therefore we may assume another, presumably Octha, ruled between Oisc's death and Eormen-ric's succession. This is by no means definite, however, as Oisc's death would have left Kent in some turmoil, perhaps without a clear successor. Whilst Oisc claimed descent from the Jutes or Frisians of northern Saxony, the name Eormenric is more closely associated with the Frankish royal family, descendants of Clovis, and from the mid sixth century many Frankish treasures and remains are found in Kentish archeological sites. Eormenric may, therefore, have been an offspring of the Frankish royal family who married into the lineage of Oisc. This would certainly account for the close relationship between the two families, particularly that of Eormenric's son ATHELBERT, who entered into an arranged marriage with Bertha, the daughter of the king of Paris. This family alliance also brought much prominence and wealth to the Kentish royal family, and was significant for bringing Christianity to the Saxons. For all that we know little about Eormenric it is evident that his role in developing Kent as a kingdom and bringing wealth to the Saxon domains was significant. His reign probably extended from at least 560-80, and may have begun even earlier. It is possible that it was during his reign rather than that of his son's, that the nobility of Kent strove to move further westward and came into conflict with the West Saxons. A battle is recorded in the ASC in the year 568 between CEAWLIN and Athelbert, a date that is chronologically impossible for these two monarchs, so either the date is wrong or the kings are. Since Athelbert succeeded Ceawlin as bretwalda, we might assume the earlier date had some significance and relates to conflict between the Kentish and West Saxon kingdoms as both fought for domination. ~0490 - ~0540 King Octa of Kent 50 50 ~0465 - ~0512 King Oeric Cisc of Kent 47 47 Ruled c488-c516.
The later kings of Kent styled themselves as Oiscingas, meaning of the tribe or family of Oisc, from which we can deduce that Oisc was, to a large degree, the founder of the kingdom. He is treated in the chronicles as either the son or grandson of HENGEST, but dates and events are uncertain and mixed with tradition. Oisc is elsewhere called Oeric or Eric, surnamed Oisc, which suggests that Oisc was a nickname. Elsewhere, though, Oisc is referred to as the son of Octha and the grandson of Hengest. This confusion serves to underscore the vagueness of historical data at this period. Even the dates are uncertain, but may be regarded with a degree of accuracy as by this time other Saxon and Frisian hopefuls were staking their claims on British soil, in particular AELLE in Sussex and possibly CERDIC in Hampshire or Wiltshire. It is quite likely that Oisc had already established a kingdom in Kent. As the part of Britain closest to the continent, Kent already had a long tradition of trade with the European mainland, and communities of these tradesmen were establishing themselves in Kent during the fifth century. If the stories about Hengest are correct, the Kentish lands were bought from the British in return for services rendered. Thus we may reasonably regard Oisc or Eric as the first to rule Kent as an established king rather than a conquering warlord. Hengest had sent Oisc to command the armies of the north, and Oisc may have been a leader of a northern Saxon or Jutish contingent who returned to Kent after Hengest's death.

Details of his reign are sparse, but we can imagine it was one of safeguarding the small Frisian and Saxon enclave against the Britons who, under AMBROSIUS and later ARTHUR, sought to repel them. What is significant is that Oisc is the only English king named at the battle of Badon where Arthur was victorious. Since Aelle was, at this time, regarded as the sovereign English ruler, Oisc was evidently fighting under his command, but Arthur destroyed the Saxon armies and we may presume that Oisc was killed. The date of Badon would therefore define the date of his death though, as the entry on ARTHUR explains, that date remains open to question. Oisc's death no doubt left the kingdom of Kent in disarray and it took some while for it to become re-established. This explains the lack of real continuity in the line of succession of kings, despite the attempts of later genealogists to re-define it. ~0440 - ~0488 King Hengest of Kent 48 48 There is some question the historical vs. lengendary quality of Hengest.

The traditional story is that with the fall of Roman imperial rule, the heartland of ritain came under threat from three sources: the Irish, the Picts and the Saxons. he time came when one of the high kings, VORTIGERN, decided to pit at least one against the other and he invited Hengest and his warriors to aid in the fight against the Picts. The date usually attributed to this is 449 but it has been suggested to be as early as 428, or as late as the 470s, the later date being the more likely. Hengest and is brother Horsa (both names mean horse, Hengest being more strictly stallion) ageed to help provided they could bring over more warriors. Traditionally they laded at Ebbsfleet, by the Isle of Thanet, but this may not have been the site of their first landing. Older chronicles refer only to their landing in the east and, since le battle was against the Picts, it is probable that Vortigern arranged for them to meet him much further north, perhaps as far as the territory of the Gododdin (see ;UNEDDA). The mercenaries did their job well. It is suggested that Hengest emained at his base and despatched his son oisc in charge of a contingent to fight the Picts, whilst his cousin (or nephew), Ebissa, took the fleet to battle the Irish. In return for this Hengest bargained for land, and Vortigern gave them the island of Thanet, in east Kent.

It is tempting to connect this Hengest with the Hengest the Half-Dane referred to the epic poem Beowulf. Here we see Hengest as an exiled Frisian prince who rebels against the Danish hegemony and becomes the leader of a band of mercenary warriors. It is not a large step to presume that Hengest and his band fled Frisia and made their way to Britain, perhaps Kent, where trade had long existed with the continent.

Another legend states that Vortigern became infatuated with Hengest's daughter, Hrothwine (or Ronwen), and Hengest was prepared to give her in marriage to Vortigern in exchange for land. Vortigern thereupon handed Hengest the land of the Cantii, then ruled by a Briton called GWYRANGON. This was unlikely to be the whole of Kent as we know it today, hut the land around Canterbury and the marshland towards Thanet. This area certainly has the oldest archeological evidence of Germanic settlement in Britain, suggesting that tradesmen and craftsmen from the northern coast of Saxony had been settling there throughout the fifth century.

After six years, during which time Hengest consolidated his new kingdom, and established his forces, the lutes struck out for more land. There were a series of battles, at one of which Horsa was killed (traditionally at Aylesford, near Maidstone), where the British were driven out of Kent and into London, and Hengest thereafter claimed the whole of Kent. They possibly conquered land further west into Sussex and as far as the Isle of Wight, since the people of Wight claimed a common stock with those of Kent.

The ASC refers to a few further battles over the years as Hengest establishes his control over southeastern Britain, by which time his own success encouraged others to chance their arm in Britain so that by the end of the fifth century the conquests of AELLE and Cerdic are being recorded. Hengest's death is recorded in 488 which must have placed him into his late sixties at least. Geoffrey of Monmouth, whose history is always suspect but tempting, states that Hengest was killed and buried at Knaresborough.

Whilst there is no great reason to doubt Hengest's existence, it is also dangerous to read too much into the written record. The balance of evidence would suggest he was a real warrior who, by subterfuge, laid claim to Kent in the mid-late fifth century and opened the way to other Germanic conquerors. ~0502 - 0570 Radegunda of Thuringia 68 68 Children

With the help of a Roman force, including a fleet to watch the coasts, sent from Gaul in 551 by the emperor of the eastern Roman empire, Justinian, Athanagild defeated and killed his predecessor, King Agila, near Seville in 554. Athanagild then became king.

But the ports and coastal fortifications taken in the name of Athanagild weren't swiftly turned over by his Byzantine allies. Athanagild was able to recover a few cities but was forced to cede a large portion of Hispania Baetica (Andalusia) to a Byzantine governor of high standing but advanced years named Liberius. Liberius set about enlarging the gift.

Athanagild then endeavoured to drive his Roman allies out of Iberia but was unsuccessful. He had invited the establishment of a Byzantine enclave in the south that would last for a further seventy years. It seems clear that the Roman population of Baetica was solidly behind this orthodox patrician Roman governor.

There are few details about this far western extension of Byzantine power, which is overlooked by Justinian's historians Procopius and Agathius. It straddled the Straits of Gades and included major cities: New Carthage (Cartagena), Corduba (Córdoba), and Assionia.

Although throughout his rule he had to fight the Byzantines, the Franks, and the Suevi, and was harassed in the Pyrenees by the Basques, Athanagild strengthened his kingdom internally by conciliating the Catholics, whom his Arian predecessors had oppressed. When the king of the Suevi declared for Catholic Christianity about 560, Athanagild and the Visigothic nobility found themselves isolated in their Arianism.

Athanagild's court at the city he founded, Toledo, was famed for its splendor. His queen was Goiswintha, who gave him two daughters: Brunhilda and the tragically murdered Galswintha, who married the Frankish brother-kings Sigebert of Austrasia and Chilperic, king of the Neustrian Franks, who set aside his first wife in favor of Galswintha, then had her strangled.

Athanagild died peacefully in his bed, a fact his chronicler didn't overlook, and was succeeded by his brothers Liuva I and the powerful restorer of Visigothic unity, Liuvigild, last of the Arian Visigoths. 0497 - 0531 Clotilda of Franks 34 34 Amalaric (Arian) and Clotilda (Catholic) fought, bringing on Frankish Invasion

Theodoric's Youth
When King Thiudimir of the Ostrogoths was presented with a son by one of his concubines (not herself a Goth, in all probability), the boy was christened Dietrich, a common name amongst the Germans of that era. In Late Latin, the name translated as Theodoricus and the boy grew up to become the man known to history as Theodoric the Great.

Born in or about AD 451, the young Theodoric was sent as a hostage to the Imperial Court in Byzantines at the age of eight. There he was to remain for ten years, and it was there that he absorbed Graeco-Roman cultural values to a degree not previously equaled by any barbarian ruler. Yet a barbarian he remained, versed in the warlike ways of his people. He never learned to read and write, it seems, for throughout his life he was to sign his name only by means of a golden stencil.

On his return from Constantinople, he took control of the eastern portion of the Ostrogothic lands in Pannonia and immediately began to build a reputation by defeating the Sarmatians in battle. Over the following few years he became known as an able and ambitious ruler, leading his people to new lands on the lower Danube, and accepting for them the status of Roman federates (foederati).

The Imperial Federate
His relationship with the Roman Emperor, Zeno, constantly swung between friendship and hostility. Between laying waste to Macedonia (479) and Thessaly (482), for example, Theodoric helped Zeno to put down the two major rebellions of his reign.

After the accidental death of his principal rival - Theodoric Strabo ("the Squinter") - he was left in effective control of the Ostrogoths. In 484, he was elected to the consulship in Constantinople as 'Flavius Theodoricus' and slew Strabo's son in the city. By 486, his power was such that he was able to match against Constantinople itself, occupying its outlying districts and cutting off its water supply.

In 488, eager to rid the Empire of the threat, the Emperor Zeno encouraged Theodoric to invade Italy. It is uncertain which of the two men came up with the plan; The Gothic historian Jordanes credits Theodoric while the great Byzantine historian, Procopius, firmly maintains that it was Zeno. Both men had much to gain from such an invasion. For Theodoric it promised a settled homeland for his wandering people while for Zeno it offered not only the prospect of ending the Ostrogoth menace to his capital, but also of regaining Italy for the Empire.

The War against Odovacar
Setting out along the valley of the Danube, Theodoric's host paused briefly to brush aside an army of Gepids, then swung southwards and defeated the self-styled King of Italy, Odovacar (or Odoacer) at the Isonzo Bridge on the River Wippach. Theodoric's Ostrogoths moved into northern Italy and, defeating Odovacar in a series of battles, blockaded him in Ravenna.

In 493, when all of Italy had been subdued, a local bishop arranged a truce between the two leaders. Theodoric, supported by the Church and in control of most of Italy, offered what seemed to be remarkably generous terms. Alas, he had not the slightest intention of honouring them. He invited Odovacar, together with his son and chief officers, to a banquet. As Odovacar took his seat, Theodoric stepped forward and, with one tremendous blow of his sword, clove through his enemy's body from collar-bone to thigh.

"The wretch cannot have had a bone in his body, " he is reported to have commented, surprised by the effect of his stroke.

Odovacar's brother was shot down by arrows as he tried to escape. His wife, Sunigilda, was thrown into prison where she died of hunger. His son, Thelane (whom Theodoric already held as a hostage) was sent to Gaul but subsequently murdered. The whole unsavoury episode seemed to bode ill for the future but, in fact, Theodoric was to bring a period of peace and prosperity which Italy had rarely known. With the support of his warriors, Theodoric claimed kingship over Italy and was finally recognised as "King of the Goths and the Romans" by the Emperor Anastatius I in 497.

The King of Italy
He inherited a wealthy kingdom, the surpluses of which poured into his capital, Ravenna. His thirty-three year reign was devoted to the consolidation of his new realm, which he ruled wisely and well. Despite his own devout Arianism, he proved tolerant of all other Christian sects in what was an intolerant age. He promoted agriculture and commerce, respected Roman institutions and improved public works; repairing the defences, aqueduct, baths and palace at Verona, for example, and undergoing extensive building and repair works in Pavia. Ravenna itself was made fit to be the seat of an Emperor.

But Theodoric was not an Emperor; He was merely king of the Ostrogothic army in Italy, not king of the Goths. He owed allegiance to the Emperor in Constantinople, and indeed held the highest military rank in the Empire - that of magister militum. And Theodoric was at great pains to ensure Italy remained part of the Roman Empire, while leaving no room for doubt that Gothic power was paramount in the West.

The government of Italy was run by Romans using Roman methods. The statesmen Cassiodorus and the philosopher, Boethius, both served in Theoderic's administration, for example. The senate continued to be respected and the power to nominate senators and consuls remained with the Emperor in Constantinople. Yet the Romans themselves were sufficiently impressed by his power to give him the title of dominus, or even Augustus.

Theodoric consolidated his power by means of marriage alliances, which he used to co-ordinate the policies of the various western kingdoms. He married his daughter to Alaric, King of Visigothic Toulouse, for example, while he himself married Audofleda, sister of the great Frankish king, Clovis.

The closing years of Theodoric's reign, however, were dominated by growing tension with the Empire as anti-Arian feeling grew in Constantinople - a foreboding of what was to come when Justinian donned the purple. And his reign ended, as it began, in iniquity - with the imprisonment and brutal execution of Boethius - the 'last of the Romans' - on a false charge of treason. It was an act of which Theodoric was to repent and which he came bitterly to regret.

When Theodoric died, in 526, he was succeeded by his daughter Amalasuntha as regent for her son Athalaric. His magnificent mausoleum still stands in Ravenna. The realm he created, however, was to survive him by barely a generation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostrogoth D. ~0534 King Cerdic of West Saxons Ruled Gewisse or West Saxons, 519-34 or 538-54.

Cerdic is something of a mystery. The traditional story, as told in the ASC by the ninth century annalists seeking to find a pedigree for their great Saxon kings, was that Cerdic, the son of Elesa, and his son CYNRIC came to Britain with five ships and landed at Cerdicesford and on that day fought the British. Six years later they "obtained" the kingdom of the West Saxons, Cerdic ruling for fifteen years. The dates ascribed are contradictory and unlikely. The introduction to the ASC states they arrived in the year 494 and that six years later, or 500, they "conquered" the kingdom of Wessex. The later annals, however, assign the year 519 to the birth of Wessex. The latter year is the more likely (otherwise Cynric is exceedingly old by the time he dies) if we accept the six year period before gaining Wessex that would place their arrival in around 513/514, the year the annals describe another pair of Saxons (STUF and WIHTGAR) arriving, also at Cerdicesford, and also putting the British to flight. Possibly the annalists confused dates or Saxons in their desire to grant Wessex an ancient pedigree. It is possible that in reckoning their dates backward (based on the Easter cycle of feasts which repeats every nineteen years) they counted back from 519 instead of forward, which would start Cerdic's reign in 538, a more satisfactory date. This revised dating robs us of the opportunity of Cerdic clashing with ARTHUR. The original dates for Cerdic's reign (494-516) allow us to assume that Cerdic was killed at Badon (see under AELLE).

Even more confusing, though, is that Cerdic is a British name, not Saxon, the same as CERHDIG and CARADOC. Since no independent records survive to prove Cerdic's existence we have to draw conclusions. It has been suggested that Cerdic may have been a British chieftain, governing as an administrator (not a hereditary Monarch) after the Roman fashion in the land around Salisbury: Wiltshire and Somerset. It is even possible that he or his relatives had married into the Saxon nobility, as the Saxons were already making incursions into Britain. Perhaps, with Saxon support, Cerdic proclaimed himself king and established a dynasty around the year 519 (or 538). The Britons would now regard him as a traitor, so the battle ascribed to him against the British in the year 527 (or 546) may well be true. A clue to this is in the name of Cerdic's tribe. He was known as the chief of the Gewisse (the name of Wessex did not come into existence for another two centuries). This name relates to his great-grandfather Gewis, another British name, but more significantly the Gewisse was originally a tribe or group of tribes which existed in the area around Shropshire and Herefordshire, running into the territory of Ergyng. The word Gewisse came to be used to describe a confederate army which may have consisted of Celts and Saxons and which had no fixed territory but roamed throughout the territory of Wiltshire and Somerset. However Cerdic may well have been a prince of the Gewisse in Wales, probably in Ergyng, which may have made him a relative of GWRGAN or CARADOC VREICHFAS. He may have been expelled from Ergyng because of his Saxon sympathies and with an army of Gewisse he may have fled across the English Channel to Brittany, where other British tribes had migrated, and from there he returned a few years later attempting to regain his lands but with an army of Saxon mercenaries. Cerdicesford, where he reputedly landed, is in Hampshire, near the head of the Solent. However no archeological evidence supports this. This area contains more remains of the Jutes (who had settled on the Isle of Wight) than the Saxons, whose archeological remains are more to the west, in Somerset and Wiltshire.

It is just possible that Cerdic has nothing to do with Wessex. The ASC states that in 530 (which may be 549), Cerdic and Cynric obtained the Isle of Wight and slew men at Wihtgarasburh. The Isle of Wight was occupied by Jutes not Saxons. It has been suggested that Wihtgarasburh is in fact Wigtown in Galloway, and that Cerdic led his Saxon forces into battle in the north. Only later did his descendants move south, but so great a hero had Cerdic become that his name became associated with the later established kingdom. It is conjectural, but not without possibility, as it does help explain the anomalous years following his death (see under CYNRIC). Cerdic died either in 534 or 554 and is believed to be buried at Cerdicesbeorg in the northern part of Hampshire, near Stoke-in-Hurtsbourne, though it is also suggested he died and is buried in Northumbria.

Source: British Kings and Queens, Mke Ashley, 1998 Hengist ~0525 - 0560 King Cynric of West Saxons 35 35 Event: Ruled 534-560

Ruled West Saxons, 534-60 or 554-71 (or 581).

The son (or possibly grandson) of CERDIC, the supposed founder of the kingdom of Wessex. Cynric is closely associated in the ASC with his father from the year 494 to his death in 560, but even assuming he was just of age (16) in 494, this would make him 82 at the time of death, an unlikely age, since he was still battling the British only a few years before. The West Saxon regnal lists refers to CREODA as the son of Cerdic and father of Cynric, which would help explain the anomaly. Allowing a normal Saxon generation of about 20 years would bring Cynric's age at death down to a more acceptable 62. We also need to allow for the possible miscalculation of dates by the annalists (see under CERDIC for details) which introduced a 19-year discrepancy. This shifts Cynric's reign to around 554-581. Whether he did rule for 26 years must also be subject to doubt, especially as his son is also accorded a long reign. There may be some lost kings during this period, or some reigns overlapping.

The ASC records two battles for Cynric, one at Searoburh (Old Sarum) in 552 (probably 571) and one at Beranburh (Barbury Castle) four years later. Both of these are consistent with establishing and sustaining a kingdom around Wiltshire. Cynric was succeeded by his son Ceawlin. 0547 - 0593 King Ceawlin of West Saxons 46 46 Ruled West Saxons, 560-92 or 571 (or 581)-88.

With Ceawlin, the third named king of Wessex, we reach firmer historical ground. There is more support for his reign than for those of his predecessors cynric or cerdic, though the problem over dates remains. According to the ASC he succeeded to the kingdom in 560 and reigned for 32 years. However the West Saxon regnal list only affords him seventeen (or seven) years (versions vary). Since the ASC gave an equally lengthy reign to Cynric, this is suggestive either of other forgotten kings, with the reigns of the known kings extended to fill the gaps, or of prolongation of reigns to establish a more ancient pedigree, something later Wessex annalists were likely to desire once Wessex became the primary power. He may already have ruled jointly with his father for part of his reign, especially if his father lived into his sixties. This overlap would explain the discrepancy of the two long reigns and allow us to reduce Ceawlin's solo reign to a more credible period.

Ceawlin's reign includes a catalogue of battles. He is recorded as fighting with his father at the battle of Beranburh in 556 (which may adjust to 575). In 568 (or 583) he teamed up with fellow Saxon cutha to fight on a united front against athelbert, the new king of Kent, who was expanding his frontiers, which suggests that Ceawlin was stretching his own borders to the east. His other battles, especially at Dyrham, in 577 (this date may be accurate) were to the west and consolidated his kingdom around Wiltshire and Somerset. Dyrham was a decisive battle where Ceawlin defeated the British kings of Gloucester, Cirencester and Bath and (presumably) took over their land (see coinmail, farinmail and condidan). These towns took several generations to recover from the battle. Bede lists Ceawlin as the second Saxon bretwalda, a form of high king, following the death of aelle. In these early years the title is meaningless, but if it was conferred by any general agreement it probably came as a result of this victory, which allowed Ceawlin to establish a fixed West Saxon kingdom as distinct from his roving war-band.

Events went poorly for Ceawlin thereafter. Although he won another victory over the British at Fethanlea in 584, it was not without cost, and his ally Cutha was slain. Fethanlea is usually placed in Oxfordshire, but there was another decisive battle against the British near Tintern on the Wye which both sides identified as a victory (see under meurig ap tewdrig). A few years later it was recorded that there was "great slaughter" at Adam's Grave, east of Devizes, and Ceawlin was "expelled". The records do not say whether this battle was against the British or (more likely) against fellow Saxons, as this was the period of the great influx of Mercian Angles. In the following year Ceawlin "perished", though the records do not say how. If he had died valiantly in battle the annals would have been only too keen to boast of the feet, so one must assume Ceawlin met a rather ignominious death. He was succeeded by Ceol. 0564 - 0584 Cuthwine 20 20 Killed in battle.
Did not rule.

Cuthwine is a genealogical placeholder used to show the relations of all the kings of Wessex, however he might have been an actual historical West Saxon prince. ~0570 - 0612 King Theudebert II of Austrasia 42 42 ~0555 - 0596 King Childebert II of Franks 41 41 ~0575 Eni of East Anglia <0584 - >0622 Cuthwulf 38 38 Did not rule 0622 - >0688 Ceolwald 66 66 Did not rule, Visited Rome 688, Brother King Cynegils baptized 635

Despite the apparent length of his reign, little is known about him. On the death of WIHTRED the kingdom of Kent was divided between his three sons and Athelbert ruled jointly with his brother EADBERT and half-brother EALRIC. Nothing more is heard of Ealric, and it seems that whilst Athelbert was the eldest and remained the senior king, Eadbert ruled west Kent, and Athelbert east Kent, with the rich lands around Canterbury. Eadbert tried once to usurp his authority in 738, but this was soon suppressed. However, by about 748, Athelbert seems to have retired from public affairs, leaving the government of Kent to Eadbert and his son EARDWULF. This suggests that whilst Athelbert was initially a resolute king, in later years he tired of the demands and retired to his estates. He reappeared briefly in 762 to authorise a charter, but apparently died later that year when he was in his late sixties. The fact that Athelbert's reign can appear so uneventful, even to the point of his retirement, is testament to the isolation of Kent, even during the period when ATHELBALD of Mercia claimed overlordship of all southern England. Athelbert may have acknowl-edged this out of prudence, but Athelbald's impact on Kent appears to have been negligible. It was his successor, OFFA, who would have the more significant effect. There is no record that Athelbert married and he retired almost certainly in the belief that the dynasty would continue through his nephew Eardwulf. ~0670 Cynegth ~0670 - 0725 King Wihtred of Kent 55 55 Ruled 691 - 23 April 725.
Born: date unknown, but c670. Died: 23 April 725, aged about 55. Buried: Canterbury.
Married: (1) pre-694, Cynegyth; (2) c696, Athelburh; (3) after 697, Werburh.

Wihtred was the son of EGBERT and brother of EADRIC. Following Eadric's death or deposition in 686, Kent became the battleground of a number of usurper and client kings, subject to the power struggles of Mercia and Wessex. During this period Wihtred remained in sanctuary, protected by the church, and in the guardianship of his aunt, Eormenhild, the widow of WULFHERE of Mercia. Wihtred finally emerged to challenge the claimants to the throne late in the year 690, or early in 691, when he was aged probably not much more than 20. He rapidly received the support of the Christian church, which surprisingly had done little to support the earlier claimant OSWINE, also descended from the Kentish royal family. For a period Wihtred ruled jointly with SWAEFRED of Essex, but in 693 Swaefred's father SEBBI died, and Swaefred became preoccupied with establishing himself in Essex. Wihtred was soon able to settle terms with him and negotiate his own sole rule. Furthermore in 694, Wihtred bought his peace with INE, king of Wessex, by paying over a substantial sum in recompense for the murder of MUL by the Kentish people. With Ine, Wihtred established the boundary between Kent and Surrey which has remained almost unchanged to this day. Ine and Wihtred also consulted over a new set of laws, Ine being impressed with those established by Wihtred's predecessors, and Wihtred in turn wishing to update and embellish those of his uncle HLOTHHERE. Wihtred, a strong supporter of the church, but also a severe judge of misdemea-nours, made his punishments more strict. His support for the church became most evident in his decree, probably issued in 708, that the church should be exempt from taxation, a principle that was subsequently taken up by other kings and remained fundamental in English law.

Having established an enviable authority Wihtred settled down to rule Kent during a period of continued prosperity. He preferred to rule from his villas in mid-Kent such as Bearsted, near Maidstone, rather than from around Canterbury. When he died in 725, after a reign of nearly thirty-five years, he had established an inviolable bond between the kingdom of Kent and the Christian church. He can be seen as a strict king, an intelligent strategist, but severe rather than avuncular. Rather surprisingly he left the kingdom in the hands of three sons, ATHELBERT, EADBERT and EALRIC. 0641 - 0673 King Egbert I of Kent 32 32 Ruled 14 July 664 - 4 July 673.
He was born sometime around 641, and began his reign with the clearly unChristian act of ordering the death of his cousins, Athelred and Athelbert, the sons of his father's elder brother, Eormenred. The reason was almost certainly to ensure his right of succession, although this hardly seemed to be challenged by his contemporaries. Nevertheless, at this time there was not an immediate right of succession from father to eldest born son, and Egbert was evidently ensuring he had no opposition. Unfortunately for Egbert the two young princes soon became the centre of a small cult, and this caused a rift in the Kentish royal household that Egbert was keen to mend. Eafa, the sister of the murdered brothers, demanded a blood price from Egbert, and in reparation he granted her land near the isle of Thanet where a second monastery was built (now Minster-in-Thanet) and consecrated in 675, with Eafa as the first abbess. Egbert also founded a church at Reculver, and granted land for another abbey at Chertsey, which shows that his authority extended as far as Surrey, at least in matters of the church. Soon after he became king he consulted the Northumbrian king OSWY over the selection of a successor to Deusdedit, the archbishop of Canterbury. The cruel start to Egbert's reign ended up being extremely profitable for the church, an uneasy balance which would continue for the next thousand years. Egbert died young (he can only have been in his early thirties), probably from an illness, and was buried at Canterbury. He was succeeded by his brother HLOTHHERE. ~0615 Sexburga of East Anglia Died as a nun in Gaul ~0624 - 0664 King Earconbert of Kent 40 40 Ruled 20 January 640 - 14 July 664. Born: c624 or earlier. Died: 14 July 664. Buried: Canterbury. Married: c640y Seaxburh, dau. Anna, king of the East Angles. It is uncertain whether Eorcenbert was the son of Eadbald and his second wife Ymme, or of his first wife, the unnamed widow of ATHELBERT. To have been old enough to succeed Eadbald in 640, Eorcenbert cannot have been less than sixteen, and quite possibly older. It may be that his mother died in giving birth to him. He was the first Saxon king to be raised as a Christian, and on his accession ordered that the idols of the pagan worshippers be destroyed throughout Kent. He strengthened the laws of his grandfather to ensure that his decrees be taken seriously, and he also gave royal assent to the observation of fasting in Lent. He effectively outlawed pagan worship in Kent, although small enclaves persisted as shown by the survival of such names as Woodnesborough (or Woden's Barrow) near Canterbury. Eorcenbert also appointed the first Saxon archbishop of Canterbury after the death of Honorius, the last of Augustine's companions, in 653. This was Frithuwine of the West Saxons, who took the name of Deusdedit (dedicated to
God).

Eorcenbert married Seaxburh, the daughter of ANNA of the East Angles, who must also have been young at that time. During their reign she established the nunnery at Minster, on the Isle of Sheppey, to which she retired as abbess after her husband's death in 664. In 679, on her sister's death, she became abbess of Ely, and her own daughter, Eormenhild (or Irmengeld), the widow of king WULFHERE of Mercia, succeeded as abbess of Minster, and later at Ely.

Eorcenbert's observation of Lent brought with it conflict over the strict dating of Easter. Because the Roman and Celtic churches calculated the time of the Easter feast differently it meant that at times Easter might be celebrated twice in any one year. This led to king OSWY of Northumbria calling the Synod of Whitby to determine whether the Celtic or Roman approach should be paramount. Eorcen-bert sent his bishop Deusdedit, who clearly favoured the Roman method, and this view prevailed. Deusdedit died of a plague soon after Whitby, and it seems that the same plague caused the death of Eorcenbert who was only in his forties. He died on the same day as Deusdedit, and was succeeded by his son EGBERT.

We can be fairly certain that during Eorcenbert's reign Kent continued to develop as a prosperous kingdom, and farmsteads and hamlets grew into villages and towns. Most of the long established villages in Kent can be dated to the middle of the seventh century. ~0590 Emma of Austrasia ~0582 - 0640 King Eadbald of Kent 58 58 Ruled 24 February 616-20 January 640.
Married: (1) 616, name unknown, widow of Athelbert; (2) date unknown (before 624, perhaps 620), Ymme (or Emma) of the Frankish royal household. Although the son and successor of ATHELBERT, Eadbald did not embrace the Christian church, and indeed aggravated the relationship further by marrying his stepmother, flouting the rules of Pope Gregory. We do not know when Eadbald's mother, Bertha, died, other than that it was some time after 60IAD. We must assume that his stepmother and wife was herself not a Christian, or that she lapsed, and that she was a young wife of Athelbert's old age. Eadbald is later recorded as having married a Merovingian princess called Ymme, identified by some as the daughter of the Neustrian Mayor Eorcinwald, or as the daughter of the Austrasian king Theodebert. She was probably already a Christian and therefore could not have been Eadbald's first wife. Eadbald was probably in his thirties when he inherited the kingdom of Kent and he must also have been a lapsed Christian. It would be strange for his father to convert to Christianity without making the same provision for his son, unless we are to assume that Athelbert was making only a token gesture. Bede records that because of his lack of devoutness he was visited by bouts of madness and infirmity, which may be an early Christian interpretation of epilepsy.

Eadbald later returned to Christianity, baptized by either Augustine's successor Laurentius, or the later archbishop, Justus. As Laurentius died in 619AD, we must assume this happened within only a year or two of Eadbald's succession, though in view of the turbulent days for the Christian church, it is more likely to date it to around 624AD when Justus returned from his exile in France to claim the see of Canterbury. According to Bede, Eadbald was affected when he was shown the evidence of some miraculous scourging upon the body of Laurentius that had occurred whilst he dreamt one night. This may have placed the fear of God in Eadbald and been enough for him to put aside his pagan wife, possibly further influenced by another apparent miracle achieved by Bishop Mellitus. Around 623AD a fire broke out in Canterbury, probably caused deliberately, which threatened to destroy the whole church. Mellitus was carried into the flames at which point the direction of the wind changed and the church was saved. Eadbald was probably influenced by his counsellors and advisers at court in the early days of his reign, and only later exerted his own authority as the fervour and determination of the early Roman missionaries was demonstrated. Eadbald's sister, Athelburh was a confirmed Christian, and her marriage to EDWIN of Northumbria about 625 was crucial in the conversion of that kingdom, and of the future of Christianity, as it was a condition of the marriage arrangement that Edwin place no hindrance in the path of Athelburh's worship. Nevertheless, the new Christian church went through a difficult period in Kent and, even after Eadbald's conversion, he was unable to sustain the church in London. This demonstrates that Eadbald had neither the authority nor strength of his father, and he was not acknowledged as bretwalda, or overlord, a title that passed to REDWALD of the East Angles. Nevertheless Eadbald must have been a reasonably strong king, as he retained his throne for 24 years. It is possible that he did this through his alliance to other kings of growing power, for later evidence suggests that after the death of Edwin, he changed his allegiance to Edwin's successor Oswald. Athelburh, who had returned to the protection of her brother's household, thereupon sent her two infant children to Francia for safety. Nevertheless we must assume that by the time of his death Christianity had taken a strong hold in Kent. Eadbald's children and grandchildren became fervent Christians. He was succeeded by his younger son EORCENBERT. ~0595 Anna ~0590 King Saewara of East Anglia D. ~0786 Ealhmund of Kent Ruled Kent in 784

Ruled 762-4, and again c784-c5.
It has been suggested that Ealhmund was the same as the earlier Eanmund, whose name appears confirming a charter of SIGERED, the king of West Kent. If this is so then Ealhmund was the more senior king. He has been associated with Ealhmund, the father of the famous EGBERT of Wessex - if this is so, then we know that he was descended from Ingeld, the brother of INE. It is quite probable that his father or grandfather had married into the Kentish royal family, thus establishing his claim on the Kentish kingdom. Ealhmund was, however, deposed by OFFA of Mercia when he invaded Kent in 764. He would have been a young king at the time, probably in his early twenties, with no power to oppose Offa. He almost certainly went into exile, but later became allied with EGBERT n, the king who had displaced him but who in turn rebelled against Offa. When Egbert died, sometime in the early 780s, Ealhmund returned to the kingship. For a second time he faced the wrath of Offa, which this time was more violent and conclusive. Ealhmund was almost certainly killed, and Kent came directly under Offa's rule until the revolution of EADBERT PRAEN in 796. ~0775 - ~0839 King Egbert I of Kent & Wessex 64 64 King of England(802-839)

Ruled 827-836
Egbert became the first King of Wessex in 802, he also included Kent in his kingdome in 827. He is considered to be the first king of England--however it only included the south and west (Kent and Wessex areas).

Prior to the rule of Egbert, separate small clan-kingdoms of Saxons ruled England in sections. Christianity was present in England from about 597 A.D., and its spread tended to follow the shifts in overlordship between the dominions. After a time, supremacy tended to pass between three - Wessex, Mercia, and Northumbria. In 796 with the death of Offa, King of Northumbria, power briefly shifted south to Mercia.

Columbia Encyclopedia:

"He was descended from Cerdic and was apparently an unsuccessful aspirant for the crown of Wessex against Beohtric (reigned 786-802). He took refuge at the court of Offa of Mercia, but the alliance of Offa and Beohtric drove him to the Frankish court, where he may have spent three years. At Beohtric's death he became king of Wessex, apparently without opposition. In 815 he harried Cornwall, returning to defeat the Britons there again in 825. He also defeated King Beornwulf of Mercia at Ellandune (or Ellendun) in 825. He sent his son Æthelwulf and an army to Kent, which was then made a dependency of Wessex. East Anglia sought Egbert's protection and revolted against Mercia. Beornwulf was killed in battle, and Mercia submitted (828?) to Egbert. He then (829?) secured the nominal submission of Northumbria without a battle. Later historians called him the first king of England, an anachronistic title, for there was no conception of a kingdom of England in his day. The extent of his power varied from kingdom to kingdom and from year to year. After 834 he had to defend his realm against the Danes, and in his last battle (838) he again defeated the Britons of Cornwall, who had allied themselves with the Danes. Egbert was succeeded by his son, Æthelwulf." ~0788 Redburh ~0795 - 0858 King Aethelwulf of Kent & Wessex 63 63 Children

Athelwolf was the son of EGBERT, whose subjugation of most of England from 825 onward became the foundation of the future kingdom of England. Although usually listed amongst the kings of England, Athelwolf remained king of Wessex only. These territories incorporated Sussex, Kent and Essex, which Athelwolf had conquered on his father's behalf in 825 and of which Athelwolf was duly appointed sub-king. Athelwolf appointed his brother (or son) ATHELSTAN as sub-king of these territories when he became king of Wessex. However, Athelwolf did not directly rule East Anglia, Mercia or Northumbria, all of which had their own kings who acknowledged Athelwolf as their overlord. Athelwolf s direct ascent to the throne of Wessex was a rare event in the West Saxon kingdom. Over the past three centuries the kingdom had passed either to the next most appropriate local chieftain as confirmed by the council or witan or, in a few cases, by conquest. Wessex had been a fairly loose knit confederacy of smaller kingdoms, and succession did not pass directly from father to son. Egbert's rigorous readministration of the kingdom had ensured his eldest son would inherit and that there would not be the inter-dynastic squabbling that had weakened other kingdoms. The ability to appoint younger sons to sub-kingdoms helped this process. Elsewhere the leading chieftain of the shire became the ealdorman, a position of considerable privilege second only to the king. In Athelwolf s time we find that the ealdormen became of major importance in helping defend the kingdom from the Danes, whose raids increased considerably during the 840s. Atheiwolf or his ealdormen succeeded in defeating the Danes on almost every occasion. The raids reached a peak in the years 850/1 when there were three assaults spread across the south. The sequence may not be as the ASC records, but it suggests that first an army landed in Devon which was defeated by the local ealdorman. A further army arrived off the Kent coast near Sandwich, where Athelstan and his ealdormen fought a sea battle, defeating the Danes and capturing nine of their ships. The Danes spent that winter in Thanet. Then, early in 851, a major force arrived in over three hundred ships which sailed up the Thames and attacked inland. It first defeated BEORHTWULF of Mercia and then turned its attention south of the Thames, where it met Athelwolf and his son ATHELBALD at a place called Acleah, somewhere in Surrey (usually associated with Ockley, though not all authorities agree). If the number of ships is correct (and not miscopied as 350 instead of 35) then the Danish force must have numbered nearly 10, 000 men. The ASC notes that this was the greatest slaughter of the Danes that was known up to that time and was evidently a significant battle.

A few years of peace followed, and we may imagine that after the battle of Acleah Athelwolf had agreed some form of peace arrangement with the Danes, or that they sought easier places of conquest. The following year (852) Beorhtwulf of Mercia died, and a new king, BURGRED, appeared. He was almost certainly a vassal of Athelwolf s, possibly even one of his ealdormen. At Easter 853, Burgred married Athelwolf s daughter Athelswith, and later that year Athelwolf aided Burgred in his battle against the Welsh where they subjected CYNGEN AP CADELL to a major defeat.

Athelwolf's life was soon after tinged with sadness as his wife died, probably at the end of 853 or early 854. By all accounts Athelwolf loved her deeply. The character of this king is somewhat perplexing. Many of the chroniclers recorded his bravery in battle, and there is no reason to doubt that he was anything other than courageous; but he was a very religious man and from his youth had apparently been devoted to the church. He probably accepted his role as king as a consequence of his heritage and his role in battle as a necessary evil, but there is no reason to assume he relished fighting. In 855, even though it is recorded that the Danes had wintered in Sheppey in Kent, and thus still represented a threat, Athelwolf abdicated the throne. He first donated a tenth of his estate to the church, a measure that was bound to endear him to later chroniclers, and then set off on a pilgrimage to Rome with his youngest son ALFRED. He left the government of England to his two eldest sons, Athelbald and ATHELBERT, supported ably by his council of ealdormen. He must have been convinced that he had left England in safe hands. He was himself now approaching sixty and would have been too old to fight. The ASC records that he spent a year in Rome and on his return spent some time at the court of Charles the Bald, king of the Franks, whose daughter Judith he married. This was clearly a political alliance as Judith was no more than thirteen, but it had its repercussions. At the ceremony, the officiating archbishop, Hincmar of Rheims, placed a crown upon Judith's head, thereby making her a queen. This position had been outlawed by the West Saxons sixty years earlier because of the wickedness of BEORHTRIC'S wife Eadburh. It may have been this action that alienated the ealdormen of Wessex for when Athelwolf returned to England later that year (856) he was welcomed but they would not accept him as king. This has been described as a civil war, but it is unlikely to have been that destructive. Athelwolf almost certainly did not want the rigours of kingship, and was quite happy to retire to Sussex as the sub-king of the Kent, Sussex and Essex territories. He died there some eighteen months later. ~0810 - >0876 Osburh of Isle of Wight 66 66 ~0825 - 0871 King Aethelred I of Wessex 46 46 Children
Aethelhelm Ealdorman of Wiltshire b: ABT. 845 in Wiltshire, England
Elfgifu Princess of Wessex b: ABT. 850 in Wessex, England

Ruled Wessex, 865/6-23 April 871.
The third son of ATHELWOLF, he was born about the year 837. His father had bequeathed Wessex to Athelred in his will, should ATHELBALD die childless, but Athelred had probably not expected to become king. He had little time to think about the consequences, for from the start of his reign he was confronted with a series of Danish raids and invasions, which had become considerably more aggressive since the co-ordinated attacks of IVARR THE BONELESS and his brother HALFDAN. These two Danes lived in Dublin from where they co-ordinated their fleet, but they became incensed when their father Ragnar Lodbrok, who had been harrying the eastern coat of Britain for the last year, and had wintered during 865/6 in East Anglia, was killed in York by AELLE. The two brothers now brought all their forces to bear upon England. They conquered York in November 866, rebuffing a counter-attack by AELLE in March 867. Deira became a Viking kingdom (Jorvik). The army marched south and occupied Nottingham. BURGRED of Mercia sought Athelred's help in dislodging the Danes but this proved impossible, and they were forced to negotiate. The Danes returned to York in 868 and then sailed south to East Anglia in 869, where the local king EDMUND was killed. By 870 they were prepared to advance on Wessex. They were now joined by another army under the leadership of GUTHRUM. This was a major invasion force. If the Danes could conquer Wessex, England would fall to them. The first battle was at Reading, where the Danes occupied a royal villa. The ealdorman Athelwolf, who had bravely fought the Danes on several previous occasions, met them again at Englefield, where he put a raiding party to flight. However, a few days later the Danes caught the Saxons by surprise and Athelwolf was killed. Athelred and his brother ALFRED had just arrived at this point and only narrowly escaped. The Saxon forces regrouped at Ashdown in Wiltshire, which was the site of the next engagement. The Saxons celebrated this as a victory, because they killed many of the Danish earls including one of their kings, Bacseg, but the Danes were able to regroup just two weeks later for the battle of Basing, and this time the Danes were victorious. The winter of 870/871 was a harrowing one in England as the Danes sacked and plundered their way through the countryside. The next major engagement was in early 871 at Meredune, believed to be Martin in Hampshire. This was another indecisive battle, with considerable slaughter on both sides, and the advantage going first to the Saxons but ultimately to the Danes. Athelred was seriously injured in the battle and died of his wounds a few weeks later at Witchampton, near Wimborne, where he was buried. The nation had no time for mourning, although the shock of Athelred's death must have reverberated about the kingdom. He had married Wulfrida in 867 or 868 and had two infant sons (see ATHELWOLD), but their future looked bleak. As the spring of 871 came to England the fate of the Saxons rested in the hands of one man: Alfred. Wulfthryth ~0850 Princess Elfgifu of Wessex Children

Thyra Danebod b: ABT. 884 in Jutland, Denmark <0846 - 0899 King Harold Parcus of Sjaelland 53 53 ~0870 - 0931 Gorm de Gamel King of Denmark 61 61 Having stumbled across your website, I venture to mention that thecorrect
naming of this danish king is "Gorm den Gamle", meaning literally Gormthe
Old. It may interest you to know that during an excavation of theinterior
of Jelling parish church (in the peninsula of Jutland) in the late70's,
archaeologists found what is generally taken to be King Gorm's mortal
remains, namely a heap of bones wrapped in what was once a preciouscloth,
held together by a silver-studded belt.

Current theory is that (heathen) King Gorm was buried according to the
customs at the time, in a huge burial mound at Jelling. Then when hisson
Harald, called Harald Blaatand (bluetooth), introduced Christianity in
Denmark and had the church built at Jelling, close to the burialmound, he
ordered his fathers remains moved into the church and buried under the
floor, as was the tradition for centuries. In this way, even if hecouldn't
convert his father to the new religion, he could still hope thatsalvation
and eternal life might be bestowed upon him by the grace of God.

After the skeleton parts have been examined and the excavation of thechurch
has been completed, a small box/coffin containing the presumed royalremains
has been placed under the church floor once again, so the old king may
continue his long rest where he was laid by his son.

King Harald's burial place? I've seen in some genealogical websitesthat he
is supposed to be buried in the Roskilde Cathedral where generationsof
danish royalty have found their final resting place. Problem is, the
cathedral didn't exist at the time. So no, he is not to be found at
Roskilde, and so far he hasn't been located elsewhere, either.

During 856-7 he was on the Seine and his name is associated with the vikings who established or took over a base on the island of Oissel where they were at last beleagured by Charles the Bald. They managed to raise the siege after 12 weeks. Later he and Hastein made a four year cruise with 62 ships to Spain, North Africa and Italy and possibly further east. Two of their ships laden with gold, silver and prisoners were captured by the Moors off the coast of Spain. They were next at Guadalquivar but did not prosper and some say they went upriver as far as Seville. Then through the Straits of Gibralter to Algeciras to plunder and next to the North African shore in the Cabo Tres Forcas region where they rounded up prisoners for ransom and took a few with them who eventually wound up in Ireland. Then it was back to Spain's Murcia coast, the Balearics, southern France and sacked Narbonne and then wintered on the island of Camargue in the Rhone delta. They raided Arles, Nimes and Valence but took a beating from the Franks and went to the Ligurian Riviera and then raided Pisa and east to Alexandria, raided Luna mistakenly thinking it was Rome, and by 861were back at Gibralter where the Moorish fleet defeated them. The survivors reached Navarre and captured Pamplona and ransomed its prince and in 862 one 20 of the 62 ships sailed safely back into the mouth of the Loire. 0760 - 0845 King Ragnar "Lodbrok" Sigurdsson of Denmark 85 85 He was a semi-legendary King.

He is said to possibly be the Ragnar who entered the Seine in 845 with 120 ships. Charles the Bald deployed his army on both sides of the river and Ragnar attacked and routed the smaller contingent and hung 111 prisoners on an island in full viewof the other Frankish force who offered no more resistance. Ragnar sailed into Paris and sacked it on Easter Sunday. Charles the Bald paid him 7000 pounds of silver to depart in peace and thus gained six years free of invasion.

Another story says in his old age he became jealous of his son's reknown as vikings and raided Northumberland and was captured by King Ella who threw him in a snake pit. As he was being bitten he sang his death song starting each stanza with "Downwe hewed them with our swords" and in his dying breath prophesized, "How piglets would grunt if they know the plight of the boar!"

Guy-Geoffroy was the youngest son of William V of Aquitaine by his third wife Agnes of Burgundy. He was the brother-in-law of Henry III, Holy Roman Emperor who had married his sister, Agnes de Poitou.

He became Duke of Gascony in 1052 during his older brother William VII's rule. Gascony had come to Aquitanian rule through William V's marriage to Prisca (a.k.a Brisce) of Gascony, the sister of Duke Sans VI Guilhem of Gascony.

William VIII was one of the leaders of the allied army called to help Ramiro I of Aragon in the Siege of Barbastro (1064). This expedition was the first campaign organized by the papacy, namely Pope Alexander II, against a Muslim city, and the precursor of the later Crusades movement. Aragon and its allies conquered the city, killed its inhabitants and collected an important booty.

However, Aragon lost the city again in the following years. During William VIII's rule, the alliance with the southern kingdoms of modern Spain was a political priority as shown by the marriage of all his daughters to Iberian kings.

He married three times and had at least five children. After he divorced his second wife due to infertility, he remarried to a much younger woman who was also his cousin. This marriage produced a son, but William VIII had to visit Rome in the early 1070s to persuade the pope to recognize his children from his third marriage as legitimate.

 0954 Emma de Blois ~0937 - 0994 Guillaume IV, Duc d'Aquitaine 57 57 William IV (937 – 3 February 994[1]), called Fierebras or Fierebrace (meaning "Iron Arm", from the French Fier-à-bras or Fièrebrace, in turn from the Latin Ferox brachium), was the Duke of Aquitaine and Count of Poitou from 963 to his retirement in 990.

William's father, William III, abdicated to the abbey of Saint-Cyprien in Poitiers and left the government to Fierebras. His mother was Gerloc, the daughter of Duke Rollo of Normandy. His sister was Adelaide, wife of Hugh Capet, the king against whom William later battled for his duchy. His early reign was characterised by many wars. He fought frequently against the counts of Anjou, the first time against Geoffrey Greymantle, who had taken Loudun.

In 988, he went to war with the newly-elected king of France, Hugh Capet, whom he refused to recognise. Capet had been granted Aquitaine by King Lothair before the latter had been reconciled to William's father. Capet renewed his claim on the great duchy and invaded it that year. A royal army was defeated on the plain of the Loire Valley. William sheltered the young Louis, the son of Charles, Duke of Lower Lorraine, the last legitimate Carolingian heir. He opened the palace of Poitiers to him and treated him as royalty, regarding him as the true heir to the French throne.

In 968, he married Emma or Emmeline, daughter of Theobald I of Blois and Luitgarde of Vermandois. Their marriage was stormy, in part because of William's indulgence in the pursuit of women and, a hunting aficionado, wild animals. She banished his paramours, they separated twice for long periods, and finally he retired to a monastery, as his father had done, leaving Emma to rule Aquitaine in the name of their son William until 1004. Their second son, Ebles, died sometime after 997. ~0917 - >0962 Adele de Normandie 45 45 Children of Adele de Normandie and Guillaume III, Duc d'Aquitaine

    * Guillaume III, Duc d'Aquitaine+ b. c 915, d. 3 Apr 963 ~0855 - 0890 Count Ranulph II of Poitou 35 35 Ranulf II (also spelled Rannoux, Rannulf, Ramnulf, and Ranulph; 850 – 5 August 890) was Count of Poitou from 866 and Duke of Aquitaine from 887. On the death of Charles the Fat in 888, he styled himself King of Aquitaine and did so until 889 or his death, after which the title fell into abeyance.

He may have been selected as a temporary king by the Aquitainian nobles, for they accepted Odo of France after his death. Only the Annales Fuldenses definitively give him this title. He is recorded to have taken custody of Charles, the young son of Louis the Stammerer and he certainly did not recognise Odo as king. He appeared in the Annales Vedastes in 889 with the title dux maximae partis Aquitaniae: "duke of the major part of Aquitaine." He founded the viscountcy of Thouars at about that time, part of larger movement to creat viscounts with powers over regional fortresses to man them against the Vikings.

Ranulf was a son of Ranulf I and Bilichild of Maine. He married an Ermengard (died 935) and by her had a son, Ranulf III, who succeeded him in Poitiers. His illegitimate son Ebalus succeeded him in Aquitaine and, upon the death of Ranulf III, in Poitiers too. 0800 Princess of France ~0795 Count Gerard of Auvergne Marriage 1 Miss Princess of France b: ABT. 800 in France

AKA: Louis, King de Baviere. Born: either 804 or 806, son of Louis I, King de France and Ermengarde d'Esbay, Some sources assert that Louis was born in the year 806. There also is some disagreement as to whether this Louis should be Louis I or Louis II, King of Germany. The resolution to that disagreement lies in whether one can consider Louis' father as Louis I, King of Germany. Note - between 817 and 876: King of Allemania from 817 to 876. Following a new division of the Empire in favor of Charles "Le Chauve", Louis II joined his brothers Lothaire and Pepin in a revolt against their father King Louis I, "Le Debonnaire" (also "Le Pieux") of France. When Lotaire became Emperor, Louis II joined him in a fight against Charles "Le Chauve". In 858, Louis leaves Worms and invades his brother Charles' kingdom, with the support of Aquitaine and Bretagne. He begins to distribute the lands among counts and bishops. Charles in turn seeks refuge in Bourgogne. In Reims, on 25 November 858, the conference of bishops condemns Louis for the cruelty of his troops, sending Christian against Christian, and brother against brother. On 7 June 860, the brothers are reconciled in Saint-Castor de Coblence. Meanwhile the Normands pillage Amiens, Noyon, Beauvais, the Iberian peninsula and take Pisa in Italy. In 861, they devastate Paris. Upon the death of Lotaire II, Louis II got a part of Lorraine through the Treaty of Mersen (870). Married in 827 in Bavaria: Emma de Baviere, daughter of Welf, Count de Baviere .

James FILMER b: 1478 in Otterden, Kent Simon Pepere 1390 - 1467 Joane May 77 77 Probably the daughter of Nicholas May of Essex. Thought to have married in 1407.

In late 1467 there are five east Sutton deeds which conveyed Joane's property, she was sick, including her house and farm to her two sons Simon and Benet. Simon was well off in Lenham, so he donated his property to Benet. who in turn, looked after their mother. ~1380 - ~1436 John Feynmour 56 56 Thought to have married in 1407
Birth date a guess, to place him in the right century. Simon Pepere was one of the witnesses at his wedding.

In a "marriage deed" dated June 18, 1407, John entrusts all his lands to Nicholas May to safeguard the welfare of Nicholas" daughter Joan, which at that time was John's future wife. John's will of June 6, 1436, mentions the children listed here. Joan was willed the property, but Benedict manages the property and paid his mother, thus relieved her of responsibility.

Robert Prince of FRANCE b: 1055 1005 - 1060 King Henry I of France 55 55 King of France from 1031 to 1060, was born about 1008, died in 1060 in Vitry-aux-Loges (Vitry-en-Brie), buried at St. Denis. He was the Duke of Burgundy 1015-1031. He is the least-known of all the Capetian Kings; no one wrote about him in his lifetime, and the destruction of thearchives shortly after his time has left a huge blank over this period. All that is known is that his mother, Queen Constance, contested his right to the throne, which she wanted to go to Robert. This resulted in a war between the two brothers, of which little is known. Henry won it by buying the support of his vassals, which cost him French Vexin and the total renunciation of the duchy of Burgundy in favor of his brother, in 1034.

Without the benefit of the coronation it is likely that Henry, who appears to have been a mediocre man, would have been brushed aside. But the anointing brought him respect and won time for concessions. Managing to remain in power is after all a sign of stability, and despite the obscurity of his reign it saw a strengthening of the dynasty. He was crowned co-king with his father in 1026. He married
(1) Matilda, daughter of Emperor Conrad II, niece of Emperor Henry II. of Germany. The most interesting aspect of Henry's life was his attempt to bring about a Franco-Russian alliance by marriage. According to one record he then married (2) Matilda, daughter of Mgve Liudorf of Friesland. After the death of his second wife Matilda in 1044, he married, rather late in life in Riems in 1051, (3) Anne of Kiev, daughter of Yaroslav, the Russian head of state, and granddaughter of Valdimir I of Kiev, in Russia.

Waldrada of Lombardy Aripert II Petrussa of Lombardy Vislas I of Obotrites Elemund of Gepidae ~0724 Prince Aribert I of Obotrites Wacho of Lombardy The King of the Lombards Vakes (= Wacho) had a nephew, named Risiulf, who was, according to the law, the one to become the successor of the ruler after the death of Vakes. But Vakes had the idea of giving the kingdom to his son and therefore accused Risiulf without any reason and forced him into exile. The latter, together with some men, departed immediately and escaped to the territory of the Varns, but his two sons stayed. Vakes bribed the barbarians to kill Risiulf. One of Risiulf´s sons died of an illness and the other one, named Ildiges (= Hildigis) escaped to the territory of the Slavs. Shortly afterwards Vakes got ill and passed away. The rule over the Lombards was taken by his son VAldarus (Walthari)

 Ostrogotha of Gepidae Princess of the Gepidae. Godepert of Lombardy Joint King of Lombards in Italy (r 661-62).
He reigned jointly with his brother Perctarit, being assassinated by his brother in law Grimwald, the Duke of Benevento, whom he called for help against his brother Perctarit from Italy, when they had quarreled in 662 Grimwald then chased Perctarit from Italy and usurped the throne from 662 to 673, when Perctarit returned to the throne and ruled until his death in 689. Godebert had a son named Reginbert. Zucchilo of Lombardy Reginpert of Turin King of the Lombards in Italy (r 700). He was Duke of Turin before succeeding as King. On the death of his cousin, King Cunnincpert I in 700, he rose in rebellion and marched eastward with a strong army and meet Ansprnad, the guardian of the Boy King Luitpert on the plain of Novara and defeated Ansprand and his allies and won the crown. Howver he dies three months later, he had two sons- Aripert and Gumbert. 0567 - ~0612 Gundwald of Asti 45 45 Shortly after succeeding as the Duke of Lower Bavaria, his cousin Tassilo I, duke of Upper Bavaria, attacked him and forced Gundwald to flee to Italy. He went to his sister Teudelinda, who was Queen of King Aripert, was elected King of Lombardy in Italy, on death of his cousin's husband. Aripert I of Lombardy Aripert I, Vicount of Lombards, fl. 661.

He was elected KING OF THE LOMBARDS, in 656, when his cousin Gundeberba's husband, King Rodoald was assassinated. King Aripert was a Christian of the Catholic faith, he built a Church dedicated to our Saviors, at Pavia. An unnamed daughter, married Grimwald, Duke of Benevento, he also had two sons. Perctarit and Godebert. The brothers ruled as joint Kings, but they soon quarrelled and Godebert called in his brother in law, Duke Grimwald to help him, Grimwald had him killed. ~0516 - ~0595 Garibaldi of Bavaria 79 79 Duke of Lower Bavaria. ~0515 - ~0584 Theodo III of Bavaria 69 69 Duke of Lower Bavaria (r 537-65). He had succeeded to lower Bavaria on the death of father, while his second brother Ottone took Upper Bavaria. Married and was succeeded by his son Teodobert I. D. 0609 Theodebert of Bavaria Duke of Lower Bavaria (565-84). He died in his seventies and was succeeded by his son Garibald. Claffo of Lombardy Gudeoc of Lombardy ~0465 - 0537 Theodo II of Bavaria 72 72 Duke of Bavaria (512-37).
Married to Lucile, the daughter of Aubert, the first Lord of Alsace, and by his wife they had three sons, Teodo, Otto and Teodovald. On his death, the two elder sons divided Bavaria between them, and both took the title of Duke. On the death of Otto in 545, his Brother Teodovald succeeded as the Duke of Upper Bavaria. From him is descended the noble House of Vassallo. ~0420 - ~0511 Theodon I of Bavaria 91 91 The early dukes of Bavaria, who emerged under the suzerainty of the Frankish kings in the 6th Century, belonged to the family of the Agilolfings who chose Ratisbon (Regensburg, Bavaria, at the confluence of the Danube and Regan River) early on as their capital (Leeper 71). The earliest Bavarian duke in the historical record is Theodon I, who lived between 420-511 AD. He was followed by his son, Theodon II, who died in 537. The dukes of Lower Bavaria - Theodon III (died 565), Theobaldo I (died 567), and Theodebert (died 584) - preceeded Garibald I, who held the title Duke of Bavaria. Duke Garibald I, who reigned between 560-590, seems to have had the power of a sovereign. His daughter, Theodelinda, became Queen of the Lombards. Two other genealogical origins have been associated with this duke of Bavaria: the Heruli Prince Fara (died 535) and Agilulf the Bavarian (born 470). Agilulf, who married Cloderic's sister, Princess de Bourgogne, in 490 in France, was succeeded by his son Agivald Agilolfing (born 500), who, according to one genealogy, was the father of Garibald I (Tompsett "The Duchy of Bavaria").

In 592, Garibald's son, Tassilo I, who reigned between 590-610, successfully stemmed the Slavic invasion of the region at a battle that occured in the Pustertal. Tassilo's son, Garibald II, after suffering a defeat at Lienz, once again drove back the Slavs to beyond the present-day Austrian-Italian border (Leeper 71-72). In 630, Garibaldi II, who reigned between 610-640, was able to throw Frankish influence off for a time - but this independence was short-lived. The Franks under Charles Martel again subdued the Bavarians (Wittmann "Bavaria").

It was probably during the reign of Garibaldi II - during the Frankish reign of King Dagobert - that the oldest existing sections of the Bavarian Lawbook, the Lex Baiowariorum, were composed. Although written in Latin, the spirit of the document is purely Teutonic, with many Bavarian and Frankish words used to express non-Roman concepts. The oldest sections of the code focus mainly on weregelds - i.e., monetary compensations for killing or bodily injury. The meticulous precision with which these weregeld laws were calculated, and the apparent lack of moral disapproval for the violent acts themselves, reflect a pre-Christian sensibility common to most early Germanic peoples. For example, six shillings was the proper compensation for cutting off a freedman's thumb, three shillings for his first or little finger, and two shillings for the middle fingers. Compensations for slaves were proportionately lower. Interestingly, the double weregeld allowed for women reflected the Bavarian view of a woman's defenselessness. This double weregeld also applied to visiting pilgrims and travellers for the same reason (Lex Baiowariorum, tituli IV, V, and VI, summarized in Leeper 73-74).

The dukedom in the House of Agilolfing was primarily heriditary. The duke was elected, by the people or the chief men of the nation, from among the near relatives of his predecessor - although the Frankish kings reserved the right to invest the dukes. According to the Lex Baiowariorum, the duke, as absolute ruler, excercised supreme power over his people. He was, however, guided in his leadership by custom, tradition, the wisdom of the chief men of the nation, and the popular feelings of the people. The duke's life was protected by a more than fivefold weregeld, and under later laws, violence against the duke was punishable by death and confiscation of the killer's property. The only offences that carried a penalty of death for a free Bavarian were conspiracy against the duke's life, and inviting enemies into the province. After the highest level of protection granted to the Agilolfing dukes, the next highest was the double weregeld granted to the five noble families of Huosi, Drozza, Fagana, Hahilinga, and Anniona - probably the descendants of kings of seperate lesser tribes incorporated within the Bavarian nation, along with the Marcomanni. Below these nobles was the general body of the Bavarian freemen, who possessed the rights to hold land, speak in the assemblies, wear their hair long and carry weapons, and fight alongside their countrymen in battle. Below the freemen were the freedmen, and below them, the bondmen - most of whom were personally free, but still bound to their lord's land and service. The only slaves within the Bavarian nation were war-captives and criminals condemned to slavery by their actions (Lex Baiowariorum, tituli III, summarized in Leeper 74-75) ~1285 Thomas of Prayers Anne of Essex D. 1347 John de Louvaine ~1289 Thomas de Louvaine 1350 - 1385 Elizabeth de Bohun 35 35 Children

 ~1249 - 1298 Humphrey de Bohun 49 49 He refused to pay tribute to Edward I of England and convened an army at Worcester on 24 June 1277. In the campaign he commanded the nobles of the Welsh Marches and recovered the lands of Brecon. He was later imprisoned but freed by a ransom of 10,000 marcs.

In 1294, Humphrey fought (again) against King Edward at Gallois along with Roger Bigod, 5th Earl of Norfolk and other Barons.

Ultimately, Humphrey regained the royal favour in Scotland, once more on the side of Edward I, and won the victory at Falkirk on 22 July 1298.

He died in Pleshley Castle, Essex on 31 December 1298 or 1 January 1299 and was buried with his wife at Walden Abbey in Essex, founded by Geoffrey de Mandeville.

The manor of Caldicot passed to Humphrey de Bohun, 3rd Earl of Hereford. He was responsible for building the stone keep and curtain walls of the present-day Castle. The de Bohun family held Caldicot for over two centuries.

Tristram's father was John Fauntleroy. His mother was either John's first wife, Joan le Waleys, or John's second wife, Elizabeth Wadham.

Henry VII restored the Haudois estate on the Isle of Jersey to Tristram's father John Fauntleroy as heir and next of kin to Geoffrey Le Waleys who was killed in the battle of Barnet in 1471.

From Helen Sherman:
My cousin sent me a copy of "The Fauntleroy Family" by Robert H. Fauntleroy in which he states, "During the restoration of Michelmarsh Church about 1896, two stone slabs were discovered which came from the tomb of Tristram Fauntleroy,... One of them shows his Fauntelroy coat of arms impaling that of Holt. This clearly proves that Tristram married a Holt, and not Joan Stourton, as has been stated in some accounts of the family." He goes on to say that Joan Holt was the daughter of John Holt, widow of Thomas Villiers. Tristram Fauntleroy & Joan Holt had two sons, Bryan and John.

I don't know whether this clearly proves anything, and it would certainly be reasonable for Tristram to marry twice, and even have more offspring. No birth dates from either Bryan or John given either...

Incidentally, there is a wonderful picture of Tristram Fauntleroy from a stained glass window at Michelmarsh Church. When I told my brother that it was his 11th g.grandfather, he said, "I thought there was a family resemblance." !!! Oh, my!!

His will is dated 25 July 1539. ~1540 - 1613 Margaret Moore 73 73 D. ~1597 John Fauntleroy     An indenture 15 December 1537 made between William Basynge, Prior of the Cathedral Church of St. Swithin, Winchester, and the convent thereof, of the one part, and John Fauntleroy, son of Tristram Fauntleroy, of Michelmersh, County of Southhampton, Esquire, of the other part, shows that John Fauntleroy entered the right to these lands in Crondall Parish in right fee of his grandfather John Holt.   This indenture confirmed some records that John Fauntleroye was to receive land which John Holt, bondman, held by fine in Dypp'nalle within the Parish of Crondalle, in the county of Southampton, in consideration of good service which the said Tristram had rendered to them and hereafter to be rendered to them. This was a 90 year lease signed 17 December 1537 effective from the following 29th September.

In the year 10 Elizabeth, 23 March 1567 the tithings of Dyppenhaull and the Tithing of Alrisshot [?] 20 March 1568, parcels of the manor and hundred of Crondal.

Athelbert was the second son of ATHELWOLF, and succeeded to the sub-kingdom of Kent (which included Essex and Sussex) in 855, when his father abdicated and ATHELBALD (his elder brother) succeeded to the kingdom of Wessex. It is possible that Athelbert succeeded to the sub-kingdom earlier, whenever their uncle ATHELSTAN died, but there is no record of the date. When Athelwolf returned from Rome in 856, Athelbald refused to concede the kingdom of Wessex, so Athelwolf retired to Kent, where Athelbert seemed more amenable to bow to his father's authority in that land. It was probably no more than a token gesture, as Athelwolf was already in his sixties, and Athelbald now held authority over all of southern England. When Athelbald died in 860 Athelbert succeeded to Wessex and does not seem to have appointed a new sub-king in Kent. During his reign the Danes returned with a vengeance. Sometime soon after his accession a Danish army landed either via the Thames or on the south coast and advanced as far as Winchester before two contingents of Saxons defeated them. Towards the end of his reign a more organized force arrived under the command of Ragnar Lodbrok. His fleet had been harrying the east coast of England, particularly Northumbria, and in the winter of 864/5 they stayed in Thanet. Although the Saxons made a pact with them, the Danes plundered east Kent, before advancing back up the east coast. Athelbert died towards the end of 865 (or possibly early in 866), aged about thirty-two. He was buried at Sherborne Abbey He had not married and was succeeded by his brother ATHELRED. 0831 - 0860 King Athelbald of Wessex 29 29 Ruled Wessex, 855-20 December 860.

Athelbald was the eldest son of ATHELWOLF (unless the mysterious ATHELSTAN was also Athelwolf's son), and was probably born about the year 831 or 832. He is first mentioned as fighting alongside his father at the battle of Acleah in 851, where they defeated a host of Danes. On his father's abdication in 855, Athelbald became king of Wessex, supported by Ealhstan the bishop of Sherborne, and with his younger brother ATHELBERT as king of Kent. There is no doubt that Athelbald was a strong and determined king, probably more ambitious than his father, inheriting some of the grit of his grandfather EGBERT. When the following year Athelwolf returned, perhaps unexpectedly, from his pilgrimage to Rome, Athelbald refused to concede the kingdom to him, and Athelwolf retired to Kent. After his father's death, Athelbald caused a scandal by marrying his step-mother, Judith, the daughter of Charles the Bald, king of the Franks. Since Judith had been crowned queen, Athelbald may well have believed that this confirmed further authority on his position and upon his likely children. He was twenty-seven and Judith was only fifteen, and there was every likelihood of a long reign and many children. However the church frowned on the marriage and within a year it was annulled. Judith returned to Francia where, six years later, she married Baldwin, count of Flanders. Their son, Baldwin, married Elfreda, the daughter of ALFRED THE GREAT. Athelbald lived only another year after this, dying in December 860, probably of an illness. He was buried at Sherborne Abbey.

Emma de Conteville ~1093 Gilbert "Strongbow" fitz Gilbert de Clare ~0582 - 0640 King Eadbald of Kent 58 58 Ruled 24 February 616-20 January 640.
Married: (1) 616, name unknown, widow of Athelbert; (2) date unknown (before 624, perhaps 620), Ymme (or Emma) of the Frankish royal household. Although the son and successor of ATHELBERT, Eadbald did not embrace the Christian church, and indeed aggravated the relationship further by marrying his stepmother, flouting the rules of Pope Gregory. We do not know when Eadbald's mother, Bertha, died, other than that it was some time after 60IAD. We must assume that his stepmother and wife was herself not a Christian, or that she lapsed, and that she was a young wife of Athelbert's old age. Eadbald is later recorded as having married a Merovingian princess called Ymme, identified by some as the daughter of the Neustrian Mayor Eorcinwald, or as the daughter of the Austrasian king Theodebert. She was probably already a Christian and therefore could not have been Eadbald's first wife. Eadbald was probably in his thirties when he inherited the kingdom of Kent and he must also have been a lapsed Christian. It would be strange for his father to convert to Christianity without making the same provision for his son, unless we are to assume that Athelbert was making only a token gesture. Bede records that because of his lack of devoutness he was visited by bouts of madness and infirmity, which may be an early Christian interpretation of epilepsy.

Eadbald later returned to Christianity, baptized by either Augustine's successor Laurentius, or the later archbishop, Justus. As Laurentius died in 619AD, we must assume this happened within only a year or two of Eadbald's succession, though in view of the turbulent days for the Christian church, it is more likely to date it to around 624AD when Justus returned from his exile in France to claim the see of Canterbury. According to Bede, Eadbald was affected when he was shown the evidence of some miraculous scourging upon the body of Laurentius that had occurred whilst he dreamt one night. This may have placed the fear of God in Eadbald and been enough for him to put aside his pagan wife, possibly further influenced by another apparent miracle achieved by Bishop Mellitus. Around 623AD a fire broke out in Canterbury, probably caused deliberately, which threatened to destroy the whole church. Mellitus was carried into the flames at which point the direction of the wind changed and the church was saved. Eadbald was probably influenced by his counsellors and advisers at court in the early days of his reign, and only later exerted his own authority as the fervour and determination of the early Roman missionaries was demonstrated. Eadbald's sister, Athelburh was a confirmed Christian, and her marriage to EDWIN of Northumbria about 625 was crucial in the conversion of that kingdom, and of the future of Christianity, as it was a condition of the marriage arrangement that Edwin place no hindrance in the path of Athelburh's worship. Nevertheless, the new Christian church went through a difficult period in Kent and, even after Eadbald's conversion, he was unable to sustain the church in London. This demonstrates that Eadbald had neither the authority nor strength of his father, and he was not acknowledged as bretwalda, or overlord, a title that passed to REDWALD of the East Angles. Nevertheless Eadbald must have been a reasonably strong king, as he retained his throne for 24 years. It is possible that he did this through his alliance to other kings of growing power, for later evidence suggests that after the death of Edwin, he changed his allegiance to Edwin's successor Oswald. Athelburh, who had returned to the protection of her brother's household, thereupon sent her two infant children to Francia for safety. Nevertheless we must assume that by the time of his death Christianity had taken a strong hold in Kent. Eadbald's children and grandchildren became fervent Christians. He was succeeded by his younger son EORCENBERT. ~0775 - 0828 Bertha of France 53 53 Aupais (Alpis) Ermentrude ~0830 Duchess Ermengarde of Moselle ~0795 - 0855 Lothar I Holy Roman Emperor 60 60 Marriage 1 Irmengarde Countess of TOURS b: Abt 800 in Alsace, Alsace, France

Lothair became
coruler with his father in 817 andwas crowned by the pope six years later. He twice conspired withhis brothers in revolts against their father. In 839 Lothairreceived the eastern part of the empire
in addition to Italy, which he had received in 822. After the death of Louis I, Lothair attempted to assert his power over his brothers, but hewas defeated by them at Fontenoy, France, on June 25,
841. Bythe Treaty of Verdun (843), the title of Holy Roman emperor wasguaranteed to Lothair, together with sovereignty over Italy, Burgundy, Alsace, Lorraine, and the Low Countries. After
havingdivided his kingdom among his three sons, Lothair retired to amonastery. His second son, sometimes called Lothair II (circa835-69), reigned from 855 to 869 over the kingdom
ofLotharingia. ~0819 - ~0886 Adelaide 67 67 Marriage 1 Robert "Fortis" (the Strong) Duke of FRANCE b: ABT 820 in, France

Giselbert DE LORRAINE b: Abt 890 in Reims, Lorraine, France 1005 - 1060 King Henry I of France 55 55 King of France from 1031 to 1060, was born about 1008, died in 1060 in Vitry-aux-Loges (Vitry-en-Brie), buried at St. Denis. He was the Duke of Burgundy 1015-1031. He is the least-known of all the Capetian Kings; no one wrote about him in his lifetime, and the destruction of thearchives shortly after his time has left a huge blank over this period. All that is known is that his mother, Queen Constance, contested his right to the throne, which she wanted to go to Robert. This resulted in a war between the two brothers, of which little is known. Henry won it by buying the support of his vassals, which cost him French Vexin and the total renunciation of the duchy of Burgundy in favor of his brother, in 1034.

Without the benefit of the coronation it is likely that Henry, who appears to have been a mediocre man, would have been brushed aside. But the anointing brought him respect and won time for concessions. Managing to remain in power is after all a sign of stability, and despite the obscurity of his reign it saw a strengthening of the dynasty. He was crowned co-king with his father in 1026. He married
(1) Matilda, daughter of Emperor Conrad II, niece of Emperor Henry II. of Germany. The most interesting aspect of Henry's life was his attempt to bring about a Franco-Russian alliance by marriage. According to one record he then married (2) Matilda, daughter of Mgve Liudorf of Friesland. After the death of his second wife Matilda in 1044, he married, rather late in life in Riems in 1051, (3) Anne of Kiev, daughter of Yaroslav, the Russian head of state, and granddaughter of Valdimir I of Kiev, in Russia.

Matilda DE FLANDERS ~0847 - 0901 King Alfred of Wessex 54 54 Alfred of Wessex, Ruled 23 April 871 to 26 October 899.

Although Alfred is certainly the best known of the West Saxon kings, much of what we think we know about him is myth, created by later writers in veneration of the saviour of the Saxons who alone held back the onslaught of the Danes and who established a period of prosperity in England. In that sense he shares something of the role in folk memory of king ARTHUR. Alfred was also a man of learning and did much to establish a history and chronology of his time, and was responsible for starting (or reforming) the ASC, but that does not mean we have to trust everything that was written about him at the time. This includes his Life written by Bishop Asser which some claim to be a forgery and which certainly has many anomalies. Contrary to our image of him as a strong and valiant king, he was something of a hypochondriac, being struck down with or threatened by mystery diseases, and a long sufferer of piles.

Alfred was the fourth son and fifth child of ATHELWOLF. His mother is recorded as Osburh, though he may have been the son of a second, unknown, marriage as there is a gap of several years between Alfred's birth and those of his elder brothers. Alternatively Alfred may have been older than we are led to believe, a point which may be attested by his ill health in his final years. Little is known of his childhood -as the youngest son with three elder brothers he was not thought likely to become king - so even the place of his birth is not certain.

Asser's reference to Wantage is generally accepted but not definite, and somewhere like Wimborne is more probable. It is also unlikely that, as a child, Alfred was sent to Rome on his own and consecrated by the pope as future king. It is likely that he accompanied his father on his pilgrimage to Rome from 854-855 and spent some time at the court of Charles the Bald, king of the Franks. Alfred became fascinated with the Prankish world, the court of the descendants of Charlemagne, and modelled his own court on it, which included his passion for scholarship. Alfred was probably being groomed for the church, as his father was intensely religious.

Although Alfred's name begins to appear on authenticated charters around the year 861, he doesnot step onto the stage of history until around 865 and 866 when we find him in harness with his brother ATHELRED in battle against the Danes who had been harrying England for decades but were now showing greater strength of arms. At best Athelred and Alfred held the Danes at bay, but in 871 Athelred died of wounds and, though he had two infant sons (see ATHELWOLD), it was Alfred who was declared successor.

Alfred had already proved his battle prowess, particularly at Ashdown in 870, but there was no time to celebrate his succession - there is no record of his coronation, despite the claim that he was crowned at Kingston upon Thames. Within a month of his succession Alfred was in pitched battle with the Danes at Wilton, a day which Alfred thought he had won but the wiliness of the Danes with a false retreat caught the English off guard. Battle followed battle that first year, the outcomes swinging both ways till, at the end of the year, Alfred bought peace with the Danes.

The Danes settled north of the Thames, where peace was also bought with the Mercians, and for a period Alfred could consolidate his army. It was also during this time that Alfred began to develop a navy in order to meet the Danes on their own terms. In 876 a new generation of Danish warrior leaders, of whom the most significant was GUTHRUM, began further incursions into Wessex. His army descended on Alfred's camp at Wareham, but Alfred was prepared and defeated the Danes, buying extra time.

The Danes also suffered defeat in a naval campaign off the coast at Swanage, but in the winter of 878 they caught the English by surprise at Chippenham, taking over the royal court, and forcing the English to flee into the surrounding marshes at Athelney, in Somerset. It is to this period that belong the legends of Alfred burning the cakes and disguising himself as a harper to spy in the camp of Guthrum. Other Danish forces were called to the area, including a Danish fleet established in the Bristol Channel, endeavouring to blockade Alfred. However, Alfred's forces in Devon defeated the fleet and then, with his local knowledge, Alfred was able to outwit the Danes and led his army out of Athelney to Selwood. There he strengthened his forces, marched on the Danes and defeated them at the battle of Ethandune (probably Edington).

The Danes submitted and, more significantly, Ciuthrum agreed to be baptized a Christian. Peace was declared with the treaty of Wedmorc. The next eight years, 878-885, were a period of peace in Wessex. It was now that Alfred became regarded by all the Saxons of England as their overlord, but he was never king of all England, as the Danes still held the greater part of the north and east.

He spent this period reviewing the administration, fortification and legal system of the Saxons. He created a series of twenty-five fortified boroughs around his kingdom, such as Oxford and Hastings, and extensively refortified London. He developed seats of learning across southern England, and introduced his law code, extensively revising that of INE. This code was administered by a number of local reeves (or sheriffs) and judges, and Alfred reviewed their activities in his own series of visits. This forced the local administrators to read to ensure the books were properly kept.

Alfred also decreed that all the sons of freemen should learn to read and write, firstly in English and, for those destined tor high office, in Latin. Apart from a brief skirmish with the Danes in 885, peace held until 893 when another war with the Danes of East Anglia erupted and lasted until 897. The Danes caused havoc across Mercia and into Wales, but were unable to penetrate the fortifications of Wessex. Alfred re-organized the navy into a major fleet, for which he is remembered as the father of the English navy.

Alfred's strength eventually drained the Danish vitality and their army faded away. Although they would return again and again, Alfred had established a kingdom which, for the next few decades, was invincible. Alfred had married in around 868 at a time when he had not expected to become king. His wife, Ealhswith, was the daughter of a Mercian nobleman and, through her mother, descended from the Mercian royal line, so that Alfred's sons could claim the royal blood of both Wessex and Mercia.

He had five children (possibly six; one may have died in infancy) including ATHELELEDA, who became the Lady of the Mercians, and Elfreda, who married Baldwin, count of Flanders, whose mother was ludith, Alfred's own stepmother. From Elfreda was descended Matilda, who became the wife of WILLIAM i. Alfred was succeeded by his son EDWARD.

In later centuries, when Alfred earned the epithet "the Great", it was not solely because he held the Saxon nation together against the Danes, but because he improved the strength, culture and quality of his realm. Although this golden age also owed something to his son and grandson, Alfred was truly the most impressive of the Saxon kings. ~0852 - 0905 Ealhswith of the Gaini 53 53 Children

Ethelfleda built many forts notably at Chester, Hereford, Bridgenorth, Shrewsbury, Warwick, Gloucester and Tamworth. Known as The Lady of the Mercians, she died in 918 and Mercia was then united with Wessex. In 914, Edward secured the release of the Bishop of Llandaff (Cardiff) who had been captured by the Norsemen and following this, the princes of both North and South Wales pledged their perpetual allegiance to him. Edward doubled the size of the kingdom during his reign. It is now generally acknowledged that Edward died on the 7th July 924 but some historians give the date as 925.

AKA: Louis, King de Baviere. Born: either 804 or 806, son of Louis I, King de France and Ermengarde d'Esbay, Some sources assert that Louis was born in the year 806. There also is some disagreement as to whether this Louis should be Louis I or Louis II, King of Germany. The resolution to that disagreement lies in whether one can consider Louis' father as Louis I, King of Germany. Note - between 817 and 876: King of Allemania from 817 to 876. Following a new division of the Empire in favor of Charles "Le Chauve", Louis II joined his brothers Lothaire and Pepin in a revolt against their father King Louis I, "Le Debonnaire" (also "Le Pieux") of France. When Lotaire became Emperor, Louis II joined him in a fight against Charles "Le Chauve". In 858, Louis leaves Worms and invades his brother Charles' kingdom, with the support of Aquitaine and Bretagne. He begins to distribute the lands among counts and bishops. Charles in turn seeks refuge in Bourgogne. In Reims, on 25 November 858, the conference of bishops condemns Louis for the cruelty of his troops, sending Christian against Christian, and brother against brother. On 7 June 860, the brothers are reconciled in Saint-Castor de Coblence. Meanwhile the Normands pillage Amiens, Noyon, Beauvais, the Iberian peninsula and take Pisa in Italy. In 861, they devastate Paris. Upon the death of Lotaire II, Louis II got a part of Lorraine through the Treaty of Mersen (870). Married in 827 in Bavaria: Emma de Baviere, daughter of Welf, Count de Baviere .

 Thomas le Despenser 1400 - 1439 Isabel le Despenser 39 39 1382 - 1439 Richard de Beauchamp 57 57 Richard de Beauchamp was an English medieval nobleman and military commander. He was born at Salwarpe in Worcestershire, the son of Thomas de Beauchamp, 12th Earl of Warwick, and Margaret, daughter of the 3rd Lord Ferrers of Groby.

Soon after reaching his majority and taking responsibility for the Earldom in 1403, he had to defend against a Welsh rebellion led by Owain Glyndŵr. In the summer of 1404 he rode into what is today Monmouthshire at the head of a force and engaged Welsh forces at the Battle of Mynydd Cwmdu, near Tretower Castle a few miles northwest of Crickhowell - nearly capturing Owain Glyndwr himself and capturing Owain's banner, forcing the Welsh to flee down the valley of the River Usk where the Welsh regrouped and turned the tables on the pursuing English force, attempting an ambush and chasing them in turn to the town walls of Monmouth after a skirmish at Craig-y-Dorth, a conical hill near Mitchel Troy.

He was a Knight of the Garter.

He was asked to serve in the retinue of the Prince of Wales, and in 1413 was Lord High Steward at the Prince's coronation as Henry V. The next year he helped put down the Lollard uprising, and then went to Normandy. He spent much of the next decade fighting the French in the Hundred Years' War. In 1419 he was created Count of Aumale, part of the King's policy of giving out Norman titles to his nobles.

Richard de Beauchamp's will was made at Caversham Castle in Oxfordshire (now Berkshire), one of his favoured residences, and he died in Rouen two years later, on 30 April 1439. He was eventually buried in the Collegiate Church of St Mary in Warwick, where his magnificent gilt-bronze monumental effigy may still be seen.

 1478 - 1521 Edward Stafford 43 43 Stafford was born at Brecknock Castle, Brecon, Wales. His father was attainted and executed for rebelling against King Richard III of England when Stafford was five. When Henry VII ascended the throne, the attainder was reversed and the wardship of the young duke was given to the King's mother Lady Margaret Beaufort. (A reason for the reverse of the attainder may be that Edward was first cousin to Queen Elizabeth of York, Henry's wife.)

As a young man, Stafford was made a Knight of the Garter (1495), and had various ceremonial roles at the royal court. This continued in an even grander way with the accession of Henry VIII: Stafford was Lord High Steward at Henry's coronation in 1509, where he also carried the king's crown, and in 1514 he became Lord High Constable.

Yet the real power in Henry VIII's court was not with the great nobles but with low-born men such as Thomas Wolsey. Stafford, with his royal blood and numerous connections by descent or marriage with the rest of the aristocracy, became a leader of the disaffected nobles.

The ever-suspicious king personally examined various witnesses, and had Stafford arrested in 1521. The charges, such as that Stafford had listened to prophecies regarding when the king would die, are generally considered to be trumped-up. It was once maintained that Wolsey was behind the matter, but there is no hard evidence for this.

Stafford was tried before a panel of 17 peers, but with the king's mind already decided, conviction was certain, and he was executed on Tower Hill. He was posthumously attainted by Act of Parliament on July 31, 1523.
 Eleanor Percy They had four children:

   1. Henry Stafford, 1st Baron Stafford, who later recovered some of the forfeited estates.
   2. Elizabeth, who married Thomas Howard, 3rd Duke of Norfolk
   3. Catherine, who married Ralph Neville, 4th Earl of Westmorland
   4. Mary, who married George Nevill, 5th Baron Bergavenny
 1455 - 1483 Henry Stafford 28 28 ~1458 - 1497 Catherine Woodville 39 39 Jasper Tudor Catherine married Jasper after Henry's execution. 1425 - 1455 Humphrey Stafford 30 30 1402 - 1460 Humphrey Stafford 58 58 He was born at Stafford, Staffordshire, England, the son of Edmund Stafford, 5th Earl of Stafford and Anne of Gloucester, daughter of Thomas of Woodstock and a granddaughter of Edward III of England.

When Humphrey was a small child his father died and he became 6th Earl of Stafford, inheriting a large estate with lands in more than a dozen counties.

He was Knighted in 1421, became a Privy Councillor in 1424. He was made a knight of the Order of the Garter in 1429.

Stafford had been Lieutenant-General of Normandy between 1430 and 1432 and was created, in 1431, the Count of Perche, a province in English-occupied Normandy by King Henry VI. This title was one of many granted by Henry VI to his leading supporters during the English occupation of France.

On 14 September 1444 he was created the First Duke of Buckingham. He had previously been recognized as Earl of Buckingham, by right of his mother, who was the Countess of Stafford.

Captain of Calais, Seneschal of Halton in 1439, and Lieutenant of the Marches from 1442 – 1451, he also served as an Ambassador to France in 1446. Stafford became Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports and Constable of Dover Castle (and Queensborough, on the Isle of Sheppey), in 1450.

Buckingham was one of the lords who arrested Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester at Bury St Edmunds on 18 February 1447. Although loyal to King Henry VI he was reluctant to take up arms for Somerset and when the conflict between York and Somerset burst into open war in 1455 he seemed to be the ideal choice to negotiate. After York failed to get an undertaking that Somerset would be tried he was given command of the King's army in the First Battle of St. Albans but was wounded and captured with the King when the Earl of Warwick scored a remarkable success. In spite of this Buckingham kept an open mind and helped maintain a relative stability during York's second protectorate.

Unfortunately, his actions estranged him from Queen Margaret. Even so his decision in favour of the queen in 1459 made possible York's humiliation at Ludford Bridge and he was rewarded with extensive grants from the estates of Sir William Oldhall.

In 1460 with the invasion by Warwick increasingly likely he was appointed Warden of the Cinque Ports. In the lead up to the Battle of Northampton fought on 10 July 1460 he brusquely told a group of Yorkist bishops that they were not men of peace but men of war and there could be no peace with Warwick. In this Buckingham was supported by his son-in-law Shrewsbury, Beaumont and Egremont but all four were killed by Kentishmen outside the king's tent after Grey de Ruthyn's treachery. Buckingham was buried at Grey Friars.

Stafford married Anne Neville, daughter of Ralph Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland and Joan Beaufort, Countess of Westmorland sometime before 18 October 1424, at Raby Castle, County Durham, England. They had the following children:

   1. Humphrey Stafford, Earl of Stafford (d. 1458). Married Margaret Beaufort, Countess of Stafford, daughter of Edmund Beaufort, 1st Duke of Somerset and Eleanor Beauchamp. They were parents of Henry Stafford, 2nd Duke of Buckingham.
   2. Henry Stafford (d. 1471. Second husband of Lady Margaret Beaufort, daughter of John Beaufort, 1st Duke of Somerset and Margaret Beauchamp. Margaret Beaufort had previously been married to Edmund Tudor, the eldest half-brother of Henry VI, and had given birth to the future Henry VII two months after Edmund's death. She and Henry Stafford had no children together.
   3. Edward Stafford
   4. Catherine Stafford (1437 - 26 December 1476). Married John Talbot, 3rd Earl of Shrewsbury.
   5. George Stafford (born 1439). Twin brother of William Stafford.
   6. William Stafford (born 1439). Twin brother of George Stafford.
   7. John Stafford, 1st Earl of Wiltshire (d. 8 May 1473. Married Constance Green. They were the parents of Edward Stafford, 2nd Earl of Wiltshire.
   8. Joan Stafford (1442 - 1484). Married first William Beaumont and secondly William Knyvett.

  10. Margaret Stafford. Married Robert Dunham.

His eldest son having already died, Humphrey was succeeded by his grandson Henry.

He fought and died in the Battle of Northampton, on 10 July 1460. He was on the Lancastrian side.

 ~1379 - 1440 Joan de Beaufort 61 61 ~1350 - 1403 Katherine Swynford 53 53 About the year 1366, at the age of 16, Katherine married Hugh Swynford (1340-1372), an English knight from the manor of Kettlethorpe in Lincolnshire, and bore him at least two children; Thomas (1368-1432), Blanche (born 1370), and likely the Margaret Swynford (born c. 1369) who was nominated a nun at the prestigious Barking Abbey by the command of Richard II in 1377). Katherine then became attached to the household of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, ostensibly as governess to his two daughters (the sisters of the future Henry IV of England) by his first wife Blanche. Eventually, she became his official mistress, about 1373. Katherine's sister Philippa, a member of the household of Queen Philippa of Hainault, wife of Edward III, married the poet Geoffrey Chaucer, whose poem The Book of the Duchess commemorated Blanche's death in 1369.

Long after the death of his second wife Constance of Castile, John and Katherine married on 13 January 1396 in Lincoln Cathedral, three years before he died. The four children Katherine had borne John of Gaunt had been given the surname "Beaufort" and were already adults when they were legitimized by this marriage with papal approval. The Beauforts were later barred from inheriting the throne by a clause inserted into the legitimation act by their half-brother, Henry IV.

Katherine survived John by only four years, dying on May 10, 1403. (Since she was then dowager Duchess of Lancaster, there was a record of the exact day, as there was not for her birth, when she was of considerably lower rank). Her tomb, and that of her daughter Joan Beaufort, are under a carved-stone canopy in the sanctuary of Lincoln Cathedral, but their remains are no longer in them, because the tombs were despoiled in 1644, during the English Civil War, by the Roundheads. Payne de Roet Payne de Roet was a Flemish herald from Hainault who was knighted just before his battlefield death. His children included Katherine, her older sister Philippa, a son, Walter, and the eldest sister, Isabel de Roet, (who died Canoness of the convent of St. Waudru's, Mons, c. 1366).
 <1414 - 1476 Edward Neville 62 62 He married, secondly, Katherine Howard, daughter of Sir Robert Howard and Lady Margaret Mowbray, on 15 October 1448, by special dispensation.

He cohabited with his second wife, Katherine, during the lifetime of his first, Elizabeth. He was created 1st Lord Abergavenny [England by writ] on 5 September 1450, also known as Lord Bergavenny.

 1366 - 1413 King Henry IV of England 46 46 Henry IV, King of England was born on 3 April 1366 at Bolingbroke Castle, Lincolnshire, England. He was the son of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster and Blanche of Lancaster, Countess of Derby. He was also reported to have been born on 1 April 1367 at Bolingbroke Castle, Lincolnshire, England. He married Lady Mary de Bohun, daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, 7th Earl of Hereford and Joan FitzAlan, on 27 July 1380 at Arundel Castle, Arundel, Sussex, England. He married Jeanne d'Evreux, Princesse de Navarre, daughter of Carlos II, Rey de Navarre and Jeanne de France, on 7 February 1403 at Winchester Cathedral, Winchester, Hampshire, England, in a in person, and by proxy on 3 April 1402 marriage. He died on 20 March 1413 at age 46 from a disease resembling leprosy. He was buried at Canterbury Cathedral, Canterbury, Kent, England.

Henry IV, King of England was a member of the House of Plantagenet. He was invested as a Knight, Order of the Garter (K.G.) on 23 April 1377. He gained the title of Earl of Derby on 16 July 1377. As a result of his marriage, Henry IV, King of England was styled as Earl of Hereford on 22 December 1384. As a result of his marriage, Henry IV, King of England was styled as Earl of Northampton on 22 December 1384. He gained the title of Duke of Hereford on 29 September 1397. He succeeded to the title of Earl of Lincoln on 3 February 1399. He succeeded to the title of Duke of Lancaster on 3 February 1399. He succeeded to the title of Earl of Leicester on 3 February 1399. He gained the title of King Henry IV of England on 30 September 1399. He was crowned King of England on 13 October 1399 at Westminster Abbey, Westminster, London, England, and styled 'Rex Angliae et Franciae et Dominus Hiberniae.'

His claim to the throne had been most tenuous and his succession took place in dubious circumstances following the deposing and subsequent murder of Richard II. Before this event Henry had had most of the noble qualities, handsome, an active knight, a musician, pious and an accomplished linguist. Subsequently he seemed to have dwelt on the great wrong done to Richard and he declined into a sick man at an early age. It is true that he had many difficulties, he was for the first time for any English King, closely controlled by Parliament especially in financial affairs. He had many uprisings to deal with notably from the Welsh under their educated leader Owen Glendower. At one stage, the French sent troops to aid the Welsh but matters eased when Harlech Castle was taken following a siege. Henry also faced insurrections from English barons, including an encounter with the Earl of Northumberland and his son Hotspur at Shrewsbury in 1403 when Hotspur was slain. To add to his troubles, the Scots harried his forces virtually throughout his reign. It is to Henry's credit that the Kingdom survived intact. As Henry's health failed his son the Prince of Wales was drawn more into affairs of state.

The French chronicler Jean Froissart knew him as Haccoude and Italians as Giovanni Acuto. Hawkwood served first the Pope and then various factions in Italy for over 30 years.

Hawkwood's youth is shrouded in tales and legends and it is unclear how he exactly became a soldier. According to the most accepted tales, he was a second son of a tanner in Sible Hedingham in Essex and was apprenticed in London. Other tales also claim that he was a tailor before he became a soldier.

Hawkwood served in the English army in France in the first stages of the Hundred Years' War under Edward III. According to different traditions Hawkwood fought in the battles of Crécy and/or Poitiers but there is no direct evidence of either. Different traditions claim that the King or Edward, the Black Prince knighted him but there is no record of that - he might have just taken the noble title himself with the support of his soldiers. His service ended after the Treaty of Brétigny in 1360.

 ~1272 - 1304 Edmund de Mortimer 32 32 1286 - 1356 Joan de Geneville 70 70 Joan was born on 2 February 1286 at Ludlow Castle in Shropshire. She was the eldest child of Piers de Geneville, of Trim Castle and Ludlow, and Jeanne of Lusignan. She had two younger sisters, Matilda and Beatrice who both became nuns. Her paternal grandparents were Geoffrey de Geneville, 1st Lord Geneville and Maud de Lacy. Her maternal grandparents were Hugh XII of Lusignan, Seigneur de Lusignan, Couhe, et de Peyrat, Count of La Marche and of Angouleme, and Jeanne, Dame de Fougères.

When her father died in Ireland shortly before June 1292, Joan became one of the wealthiest and most eligible heiresses in the Welsh Marches, with estates that included the town and castle of Ludlow, and much land in Shropshire,as well as a generous portion of County Meath in Ireland.. She was due to inherit these upon the death of her grandfather in 1314, but in 1308, Lord Geneville conveyed most of his Irish estates to Roger Mortimer.

In 1364, he accompanied the king of Cyprus to the Holy Land; and was in the French wars, from 1369 to 1371. He was summoned to parliament by both King Edward III of England and King Richard II of England. He died at Uffington, and was buried at Rievaulx Abbey. His widow became the wife of Sir Richard Burley. D. 1415 Beatrice de Stafford 1301 - 1372 Ralph de Stafford 70 70 Stafford was appointed Steward of the Royal Household in 1327. In 1345 he became Seneschal of Aquitaine, an English possession in France and he participated in the English victory at the Battle of Crecy, on August 26, 1346. He became a founding Knight of the Garter on August 26, 1348, and was summoned to Parliament by Writ as the 2nd Baron Stafford from 1337 to 1350.

He was created the 1st Earl of Stafford, March 5, 1350. He subsequently served as a military leader under King Edward III, fighting in campaigns in Scotland, then in Brittany, France, where he was captured during the Siege of Nantes.

Lord Stafford married firstly, before 1326, Katherine, daughter of Sir John de Hastang, Knt., of Chebsey, Staffordshire, and they had two daughters:

    * Margaret, married Sir John of Bramshall (or Wickham) de Stafford, Knt.
    * Joan, married Sir Nicholas de Beke, Knt.

He later sensationally abducted Margaret de Audley (1318-1347), daughter of Hugh de Audley, 1st Earl of Gloucester and Margaret de Clare. They filed a complaint to the King, but King Edward III of England supported Stafford. He appeased Hugh and Margaret by creating Hugh Earl of Gloucester. Margaret de Audley and Stafford married before July 6, 1336 and they subsequently had three sons and four daughters, of whom:

    * Hugh, born circa 1336 in Staffordshire, England

We find his son Ralph, in the reign of Stephen, "abounding in wealth and erecting a strong castle upon some part of his inheritance in Normandy."

Ralph Basset, the justice of England, required none of the artificial aids of ancestry to attain distinction; he had within himself powers sufficient at any period to reach the goal of honour, but particularly to the rude age in which he lived. To his wisdom we are said to be indebted for many salutary laws, and among others for that of frank pledge.

Like all the great men of his day, he was a most liberal benefactor to the church. He died in 1120, leaving issue, Thurstine, Thomas, Richard, Nicholas, and Gilbert.

Lady Sybilla Corbet of Alcester was born in 1077 in Alcester in Warwickshire. She married Herbert FitzHerbert, son of Herbert 'the Chamberlain' of Winchester and Emma de Blois. She died after 1157 and was also known as Adela (or Lucia) Corbet. Sybil was definitely mother of Sybil and Rainald, possibly also of William and Rohese. Some sources suggest that there was another daughter by this relationship, Gundred, but it appears that she was thought as such because she was a sister of Reginald de Dunstanville but it appears that that was another person of that name who was not related to this family.

   1. Sybilla de Normandy, married Alexander I of Scotland.
   2. William Constable, born before 1105. Married Alice (Constable); died after 1187.
   3. Reginald de Dunstanville, 1st Earl of Cornwall.
   4. Gundred of England (1114–46), married 1130 Henry de la Pomeroy, son of Joscelin de la Pomerai.
   5. Rohese of England, born 1114; married William de Tracy (b. 1040 in Normandy, France d. 1110 in Barnstaple, Devon, England)son of Turgisus de Tracy. They married in 1075.

[G. E. Cokayne, in his Complete Peerage, Vol. XI, Appendix D pps 105-121 attemps to elucidate Henry I's illegiimate children. For Mistress Sybil Corbet, he indicates that Rohese married Henry de la Pomerai [ibid.:119]. In any case, the dates concerning Rohese in the above article are difficult to reconcile on face value, her purported children having seemingly been born before their mother, and also before the date of her mother's purported marriage.] Robert Corbet ~1090 - 1147 Robert de Mellent de Caen 57 57 Children of Robert de Mellent de Caen and Mabel FitzHamon

Commanding a force with the purpose of bringing relief to the Duke of Brittany, Sir John was compelled to wait for stronger winds. During this wait he decided to take refuge in a nunnery, where his men "took no notice of the sanctity of the place and... violently assaulted and raped" those they found inside. Further to this Sir John "allowed his men to ransack the countryside as they liked and to impoverish the people". When the force eventually set out to sea, carrying with them goods stolen from a nearby church and under a pronouncement of excommunication from the wronged priests, the expedition was caught in a storm.

Thomas Walsingham reports that during the panic of the storm, Sir John murdered those of his men who refused to make for shore for fear of being shipwrecked upon the rocks. Subsequently, after safely arriving on an island off the Irish coast, Sir John and his boat captain were swept back into the sea and drowned.

He appears to have been one of the fops of the period, for he had on board 52 suits of clothes "pro proprio corpore, novos apparatus vel aureos vel aureo textos."
 D. <1292 Isabel de Mortimer She married, firstly, John FitzAlan, son of John FitzAlan and Maud le Botiller. She married, secondly, Ralph d'Arderne before 1273. She married, thirdly, Robert de Hastang on 2 September 1285 at Poling, Sussex, England, in a private marriage. She was fined £1,000 for marrying without Royal Licence. ~1223 - <1267 John FitzAlan 44 44 He succeeded to the title of  6th Earl of Arundel on 27 November 1243, de jure, but he appears to have never used this title.

On 26 May 1244 he obtained possession of his paternal estates in Shropshire by payment of £1,000.

In 1257 the Welsh Lord of Gwenwynwyn, in the southern realm of the Welsh Kingdom of Powys, sought the aid of the Lord of Oswestry against Llywelyn ap Gruffydd. John Fitzalan was a member of the English force that was defeated at the hands of the Welsh at Cymerau in Carmarthenshire, which he survived.

In 1258 he was one of the key English military commanders in the Welsh Marches and was summoned yet again in 1260 for further conflict against the Welsh.

He gained the rank of Battle of Lewes in 1264 in the service of the where he was taken prisoner, along with the King.

 <1230 Maud el Botiller ~1200 - 1240 John FitzAlan 40 40 John Fitzalan, Lord of Oswestry (1200–1241) was Lord of Clun and Oswestry, in the Welsh Marches, now within the modern day English county of Shropshire.

He was one of the barons who became a target for the anger of King John of England, whose forces attacked Oswestry town and burned it in 1216. John Fitzalan was close to Llywelyn ap Iorwerth until 1217.

He was also a representative of the Crown in a dispute between King Henry III of England and the Welsh leader, Llywelyn the Great in 1226. In the same year he mediated between a neighbour, William Pantulf, Lord of Wem in Salop and Madog ap Gruffydd (died 1236), Lord of Powys and a cousin to Llywelyn ap Iorwerth.

In 1233/4 during the conflict between King Henry III, the Earl Marshal and Llywelyn the Great, John Fitzalan sided firmly with the Crown and Oswestry was again attacked, this time by Welsh forces. <1221 Isabel d'Aubigny <1193 - 1221 William d'Aubigny 28 28 William was a favourite of King John. He witnessed King John's concession of the kingdom to the Pope on 15 May 1213. On 14 June 1216 he joined Prince Louis (later Louis VIII of France) after King John abandoned Winchester. He returned to King John's allegiance after the Royalist victory at Lincoln, on 14 July 1217.

He joined in the Fifth Crusade (1217-1221), in 1218. He died on his journey home, in Caneill, Italy, near Rome, in 1221. News of his death reached England on 30 March 1221. He was buried at Wymondham Abbey.

Marriage 2 Richard Le Despencer ~1364 - 1403 Henry (Harry Hotspur) Percy 39 39 Sir Henry Percy, also called Harry Hotspur (20 May 1364/1366 – 21 July 1403) was the eldest son of Henry Percy, 1st Earl of Northumberland, 4th Lord Percy of Alnwick. His mother was Margaret Neville, daughter of Ralph Neville, 2nd Baron Neville de Raby and Alice de Audley. His nickname, 'Hotspur', is suggestive of his impulsive nature. His date of death is known but not the exact year of birth.

There are rumours that Harry was born at Spofforth Castle in Yorkshire, Alnwick Castle in Alnwick, Northumberland, and Warkworth Castle in Warkworth, Northumberland.[1] and early acquired a great reputation as a warrior, fighting against the Scots and the French. He fought against the Scottish forces of James Douglas, 2nd Earl of Douglas at the midnight Battle of Otterburn in August, 1388 and was captured, but later ransomed. He went to Calais in 1391 and served as Governor of Bordeaux from 1393 to 1395.

After his return from Valois Dynasty France, Harry joined with his father and helped depose King Richard II in favour of Henry of Bolingbroke, who later became King Henry IV. He also was the co-commander with his father in the Battle of Humbleton Hill.

Later, with his paternal uncle Thomas Percy, Earl of Worcester, he led a rebellion against Henry IV in 1403, forming an alliance with the Welsh rebel, Owain Glyndŵr. Before they could join forces, Hotspur was defeated and killed at the Battle of Shrewsbury when he raised his visor to get some air (as he was wearing plate armour which restricted air circulation) and was immediately hit in the mouth with an arrow and killed instantly.

Henry IV, upon being brought the body after the battle, was said to have wept and ordered the body buried. Hotspur was buried in Whitchurch, Shropshire, but was later exhumed, by order of the same king, when rumours circulated that he was still alive. His body was first displayed in Shrewsbury, impaled on a spear, but was later cut up into four quarters and sent around all of England. His head was stuck on a pole at York's gates.

He married Lady Elizabeth Mortimer, daughter of Edmund Mortimer, 3rd Earl of March and Philippa. Philippa was daughter of Lionel of Antwerp, 1st Duke of Clarence and Elizabeth de Burgh, 4th Countess of Ulster. Lionel was son of Edward III of England and his consort Philippa of Hainault. Harry and Elizabeth had three children:

    * Henry Percy, 2nd Earl of Northumberland (3 February 1392/1393 – 22 May 1455).
    * Lady Elizabeth Percy (d. 26 October 1437). She married John Clifford, 7th Baron de Clifford in 1404. They were great-great-grandparents of Jane Seymour, third Queen consort of Henry VIII of England.
    * Matilda Percy. Believed to have died young.

 D. 1372 Margaret Neville Daughter of Ralph, 2nd Lord Nevill of Raby; married twice; 1st wife of Percy; had 4 boys & a girl by him.  ~1435 - 1504 Thomas Stanley 69 69 Thomas Stanley, 1st Earl of Derby, KG (1435 - July 29, 1504), was King of the Isle of Man and an English nobleman and stepfather to King Henry VII of England.

He was the son of Thomas Stanley, 1st Baron Stanley, and Joan Goushill, daughter of Sir Robert Goushill and Elizabeth FitzAlan, daughter of Richard Fitzalan, 11th Earl of Arundel. After the death of his father in 1459, Stanley inherited his father's titles, including that of King of the Isle of Man and Baron Stanley. Stanley owned what is now Tatton Park in Cheshire. Stanley remained in favour with successive kings throughout the Wars of the Roses until his death in 1504. His marriage to Eleanor, sister of Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, did him no harm, even after Warwick was toppled from power, and took his second wife Margaret Beaufort, whose son, Henry Tudor, was the leading Lancastrian claimant to the throne.

Thomas Stanley is also suspected for the death of the Princes in the Tower but this is unproven.

King Richard III of England unwisely continued to trust Thomas Stanley and his brother, William, even after he had briefly imprisoned Thomas in 1483 on suspicion of conspiracy. At the Battle of Bosworth Field, the Stanleys betrayed him, coming in on the side of the Lancastrians at a crucial moment. Thomas is alleged to have retrieved Richard's lost crown from the battlefield and placed it on the head of his own stepson. In recognition, Henry created him Earl of Derby on October 27, 1485, and his fortunes continued to flourish. His brother, William, made the mistake of supporting the pretender Perkin Warbeck, and was executed for treason in 1495.

Descendants of Thomas Stanley and Eleanor (or Alainor) Neville included George Stanley, Edward Stanley, and James Stanley, all of whom were also descended from the same Beauforts and John of Gaunt as was the stepson who became King Henry VII.
 <1447 - <1482 Eleanor Neville 35 35 1400 - 1460 Richard de Neville 60 60 Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury, was a Yorkist leader during the early parts of the Wars of the Roses.

Richard Neville was born in 1400 at Raby Castle in County Durham. Although he was the 3rd son (and tenth child) of Ralph Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland, Richard Neville was the first child to be born to Ralph's second wife, Joan Beaufort, Countess of Westmoreland. The Neville lands were primarily in Durham and Yorkshire, but both Richard II and Henry IV found the family useful to counterbalance the strength of the Percies on the Scottish Borders - hence Earl Ralph's title, granted in 1397, and his appointment as Warden of the West March in 1403. Ralph's marriage to Joan Beaufort, at a time when the distinction between royalty and nobility was becoming more important can be seen as another reward, for as a granddaughter of Edward III she was a member of the royal family.

The children of Earl Ralph's first wife had made good marriages to local nobility, but his Beaufort children married into much greater families. Three of Richard's sisters married dukes (the youngest Cecily, marrying Richard, Duke of York), and Richard himself married Alice Montague, heiress of the Earl of Salisbury. Alice had royal blood in her veins, being descended on her mother's side from Joan, the Fair Maid of Kent, granddaughter of Edward I. Alice's father Thomas had been one of the leading English commanders in France during the latter stages of the Hundred Years War after the death of Henry V. Thomas's death at the Siege of Orleans in 1428 was a calamity for the English cause.

The date of Richard and Alice's marriage is not known, but it must have been before February 1421, when as a married couple they appeared at the coronation of Queen Catherine of Valois. At the time of the marriage the Salisbury inheritance was not guaranteed, as not only was Earl Thomas still alive, but in 1424 he re-married (to Alice Chaucer, granddaughter of the poet Geoffrey Chaucer). However, this second marriage was without issue, and when Earl Thomas's uncle Richard died in 1429, Richard Neville and Alice were confirmed as Earl and Countess of Salisbury.

Richard Neville came into possession of greater estates than, as a younger son, he could reasonably have expected. Strangely, his elder half-brother John apparently agreed to many of the rights to the Neville inheritance being transferred to Joan Beaufort — Richard Neville would inherit these on her death in 1440. He also gained possession of the lands and grants made jointly to Ralph and Joan. Ralph's heir (his grandson, also called Ralph) disputed the loss of his inheritance, and although the younger Ralph agreed to a settlement in 1443, it was on unequal terms — Richard Neville kept the great Neville possessions of Middleham and Sheriff Hutton, as well as the more recent grant of Penrith. Only Raby returned to the senior branch. The Neville-Neville dispute was later to become absorbed into the destructive Percy-Neville feud. Richard Neville's marriage gained him his wife's quarter share of the Holland inheritance. Ironically, his Richard Neville title came with comparatively little in terms of wealth, though he did gain a more southerly residence at Bisham Manor in Berkshire.

The defence of the Scottish Border was carried out by two Wardens - of the East March (based at Berwick) and the West March at Carlisle. Both had been held by the Percy family in the fourteenth century, and their support of Henry IV seemed to have paid off in 1399, when Henry Percy was appointed Warden of the West March and his son Hotspur Warden of the East. But Hotspur rebelled, and his father was held to be complicit in his treason. Ralph Neville was employed by King Henry to capture the elder Percy (Hotspur had been killed at the Battle of Shrewsbury) his reward was to succeed the Percies as Warden of both Marches. Under Henry V, the Percies were restored to their Lands, and eventually, in 1417, to the East March. The West March, however, was to become a hereditary Neville appointment. Richard Neville became Warden of the West March in 1420. It was one of the most valuable appointments in England, worth £1,500 in peacetime and four times that if war broke out with Scotland. Although, unlike Calais, it did not require a permanent garrison, the incessant raiding and border skirmishes meant that there would always be a ready supply of trained and experienced soldiers at the Wardens's command. Richard Neville must have been high in Henry V's estimation, as he was also appointed Justice of the Peace in Cumberland, Westmoreland and Durham. In 1431 he accompanied the young Henry VI to France for his coronation, and on his return was made Warden of the East March. In 1436 he resigned both posts, although this may have originally intended as a means of forcing the crown to make good its arrears of payment. When his resignation was accepted he accompanied Richard, Duke of York to France, taking 1,300 men-at arms and archers with him. He returned the following year, and in November became a member of the Kings Council. He did not resume either of the Wardenships, as the Neville-Neville dispute took up most of his time, but when this was resolved in 1443 he resumed the Wardenship of the West March. Although this was at a reduced fee of just under £1,000, the money was secured on specific sources of Crown income, not on the frequently uncollectable tallies. This may reflect his experiences of 1436.

Percy-Neville feud

At the end of 1443, from his principal seat at Middleham in Wensleydale, Richard Neville could look with some satisfaction at his position. He was a member of the King's Council and Warden of the West March. His brother Robert was the Bishop of Durham, and another brother, William, had the custody of Roxburgh castle. He had seven children, four boys and two girls. In 1436 the two oldest children, Cicely and Richard, had made excellent marriages, to the son and daughter of Richard de Beauchamp, 13th Earl of Warwick.

However, it was becoming apparent that the rise of the Nevilles was coming to an end. The king, who during the late 1430s had started to exercise personal rule, was more concerned to promote the fortunes of his closest relatives - and Richard Neville was only related by a junior, illegitimate and female line. In this context, the local rivalry between the Nevilles and the Percies in the north of England was likely to take on greater importance. A strong and capable ruler would be able to control such feuds, or even profit by them. A weak king could find the disputes spreading from local to regional or national conflict.

The Percies had lands throughout northern England, while the Nevilles northern lands were concentrated in north Yorkshire and in Durham. However, as Warden of the West March, Richard Neville was in a position to exert great power in the north-west, in spite of holding only Kendal and Penrith. The Percies resented the fact that their tenants in Cumberland and Westmoreland were being recruited by Richard Neville, who even with the reduced grant of 1443 still had great spending power in the region. The senior Neville line (now related by marriage to the Percies) still resented the inequitable settlement of their inheritance dispute.

The fiftenth century could be regarded as the peak of 'bastard feudalism' - when every subject needed a 'good lord'. In return for a commitment by the retained man to provide (usually) military support, the lord would give his retainer a small annual fee, a badge or item of clothing to mark his loyalty (livery) and provide help for him in his disputes with his neighbours (maintenance). Northern England was a long way from Westminster, and rapid legal redress for wrongs was impossible. With his economic power as warden, Richard Neville could provide better support for Percy tenants than Northumberland, unpaid for the East March for years, could hope to.

In 1448, during the renewal of the war with Scotland, Northumberland took his forces through Richard Neville's West March - a grave breach of etiquette. Northumberland was defeated, and his son Lord Poynings was captured. The fact that Richard Neville lost 2,000 horses trying to respond to this attack, and was then excluded (along with Northumberland) from the subsequent peace negotiations can only have inflamed relations between the two families. Over time, the ill will might have receded, but Northumberland's second son, Lord Egremont, spent the next few years stirring up trouble in Yorkshire - particularly York, situated between the Percy estates of Spofforth and Healaugh, and Neville's castle at Sheriff Hutton.

In August 1453, Egremont assembled a force perhaps as large as 1,000 strong, intending to waylay Richard Neville as he made for Sheriff Hutton. Richard Neville had been attending the wedding of his son Thomas in Lincolnshire, and although his escort would have been smaller, it would have been better armed than Egremont's York tradesmen. Richard Neville and his retinue arrived unscathed at Sheriff Hutton, but the episode marked the beginning of what was virtually a private war.

However Richard Neville turned to the cause of Richard, Duke of York, who made him Lord Chancellor in 1455. When King Henry tried to assert his independence and dismiss Richard as Protector, Richard Neville joined him in fighting at the First Battle of St Albans, claiming that he was acting in self-defence. After the Battle of Blore Heath, in which he was notably successful, Richard Neville escaped to Calais, having been specifically excluded from a royal pardon. He was beheaded the day after the Battle of Wakefield.

His alabaster effigy is in Burghfield Church in Berkshire. He was buried first at Pontefract, but his son transferred his body to the family mausoleum at Bisham Priory and erected this effigy. It was brought to Burghfield after the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The effigy of a lady alongside him wears a headdress which is not thought to be of the right date to be his wife, but she may be one of the earlier Countesses of Salisbury buried at Bisham.

With Alice Montague he fathered ten children:
    * Cecily Neville, 1424 - 1450, who married Henry de Beauchamp, 1st Duke of Warwick
    * Richard Neville, 16th Earl of Warwick 1428 - 1471
    * John Neville, 1st Marquess of Montagu 1431 - 1471
    * George Neville 1432 - 1476, who became Archbishop of York and Chancellor of England
    * Joan Neville, 1434 - 1462, who married William FitzAlan, 16th Earl of Arundel
    * Katherine Neville, 1442 - 1503, who married first William Bonville, 6th Lord Harington and second William Hastings, 1st Baron Hastings
    * Thomas Neville, 1443 - 1460, who was knighted in 1449 and died at the Battle of Wakefield
    * Eleanor Neville, 1447 - 1482, who married Thomas Stanley, 1st Earl of Derby
    * Alice Neville, c. 1460 ? - 1503, who married Henry FitzHugh, 6th Lord FitzHugh. They were parents of Elizabeth Fitzhugh, grandparents of Sir Thomas Parr of Kendal and great-grandparents of Katherine Parr. Katherine was the sixth Queen consort of Henry VIII of England.
    * Margaret Neville, c 1460? - 1506, who married John de Vere, 13th Earl of Oxford
 1400 - 1460 Richard de Neville 60 60 Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury, was a Yorkist leader during the early parts of the Wars of the Roses.

Richard Neville was born in 1400 at Raby Castle in County Durham. Although he was the 3rd son (and tenth child) of Ralph Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland, Richard Neville was the first child to be born to Ralph's second wife, Joan Beaufort, Countess of Westmoreland. The Neville lands were primarily in Durham and Yorkshire, but both Richard II and Henry IV found the family useful to counterbalance the strength of the Percies on the Scottish Borders - hence Earl Ralph's title, granted in 1397, and his appointment as Warden of the West March in 1403. Ralph's marriage to Joan Beaufort, at a time when the distinction between royalty and nobility was becoming more important can be seen as another reward, for as a granddaughter of Edward III she was a member of the royal family.

The children of Earl Ralph's first wife had made good marriages to local nobility, but his Beaufort children married into much greater families. Three of Richard's sisters married dukes (the youngest Cecily, marrying Richard, Duke of York), and Richard himself married Alice Montague, heiress of the Earl of Salisbury. Alice had royal blood in her veins, being descended on her mother's side from Joan, the Fair Maid of Kent, granddaughter of Edward I. Alice's father Thomas had been one of the leading English commanders in France during the latter stages of the Hundred Years War after the death of Henry V. Thomas's death at the Siege of Orleans in 1428 was a calamity for the English cause.

The date of Richard and Alice's marriage is not known, but it must have been before February 1421, when as a married couple they appeared at the coronation of Queen Catherine of Valois. At the time of the marriage the Salisbury inheritance was not guaranteed, as not only was Earl Thomas still alive, but in 1424 he re-married (to Alice Chaucer, granddaughter of the poet Geoffrey Chaucer). However, this second marriage was without issue, and when Earl Thomas's uncle Richard died in 1429, Richard Neville and Alice were confirmed as Earl and Countess of Salisbury.

Richard Neville came into possession of greater estates than, as a younger son, he could reasonably have expected. Strangely, his elder half-brother John apparently agreed to many of the rights to the Neville inheritance being transferred to Joan Beaufort — Richard Neville would inherit these on her death in 1440. He also gained possession of the lands and grants made jointly to Ralph and Joan. Ralph's heir (his grandson, also called Ralph) disputed the loss of his inheritance, and although the younger Ralph agreed to a settlement in 1443, it was on unequal terms — Richard Neville kept the great Neville possessions of Middleham and Sheriff Hutton, as well as the more recent grant of Penrith. Only Raby returned to the senior branch. The Neville-Neville dispute was later to become absorbed into the destructive Percy-Neville feud. Richard Neville's marriage gained him his wife's quarter share of the Holland inheritance. Ironically, his Richard Neville title came with comparatively little in terms of wealth, though he did gain a more southerly residence at Bisham Manor in Berkshire.

The defence of the Scottish Border was carried out by two Wardens - of the East March (based at Berwick) and the West March at Carlisle. Both had been held by the Percy family in the fourteenth century, and their support of Henry IV seemed to have paid off in 1399, when Henry Percy was appointed Warden of the West March and his son Hotspur Warden of the East. But Hotspur rebelled, and his father was held to be complicit in his treason. Ralph Neville was employed by King Henry to capture the elder Percy (Hotspur had been killed at the Battle of Shrewsbury) his reward was to succeed the Percies as Warden of both Marches. Under Henry V, the Percies were restored to their Lands, and eventually, in 1417, to the East March. The West March, however, was to become a hereditary Neville appointment. Richard Neville became Warden of the West March in 1420. It was one of the most valuable appointments in England, worth £1,500 in peacetime and four times that if war broke out with Scotland. Although, unlike Calais, it did not require a permanent garrison, the incessant raiding and border skirmishes meant that there would always be a ready supply of trained and experienced soldiers at the Wardens's command. Richard Neville must have been high in Henry V's estimation, as he was also appointed Justice of the Peace in Cumberland, Westmoreland and Durham. In 1431 he accompanied the young Henry VI to France for his coronation, and on his return was made Warden of the East March. In 1436 he resigned both posts, although this may have originally intended as a means of forcing the crown to make good its arrears of payment. When his resignation was accepted he accompanied Richard, Duke of York to France, taking 1,300 men-at arms and archers with him. He returned the following year, and in November became a member of the Kings Council. He did not resume either of the Wardenships, as the Neville-Neville dispute took up most of his time, but when this was resolved in 1443 he resumed the Wardenship of the West March. Although this was at a reduced fee of just under £1,000, the money was secured on specific sources of Crown income, not on the frequently uncollectable tallies. This may reflect his experiences of 1436.

Percy-Neville feud

At the end of 1443, from his principal seat at Middleham in Wensleydale, Richard Neville could look with some satisfaction at his position. He was a member of the King's Council and Warden of the West March. His brother Robert was the Bishop of Durham, and another brother, William, had the custody of Roxburgh castle. He had seven children, four boys and two girls. In 1436 the two oldest children, Cicely and Richard, had made excellent marriages, to the son and daughter of Richard de Beauchamp, 13th Earl of Warwick.

However, it was becoming apparent that the rise of the Nevilles was coming to an end. The king, who during the late 1430s had started to exercise personal rule, was more concerned to promote the fortunes of his closest relatives - and Richard Neville was only related by a junior, illegitimate and female line. In this context, the local rivalry between the Nevilles and the Percies in the north of England was likely to take on greater importance. A strong and capable ruler would be able to control such feuds, or even profit by them. A weak king could find the disputes spreading from local to regional or national conflict.

The Percies had lands throughout northern England, while the Nevilles northern lands were concentrated in north Yorkshire and in Durham. However, as Warden of the West March, Richard Neville was in a position to exert great power in the north-west, in spite of holding only Kendal and Penrith. The Percies resented the fact that their tenants in Cumberland and Westmoreland were being recruited by Richard Neville, who even with the reduced grant of 1443 still had great spending power in the region. The senior Neville line (now related by marriage to the Percies) still resented the inequitable settlement of their inheritance dispute.

The fiftenth century could be regarded as the peak of 'bastard feudalism' - when every subject needed a 'good lord'. In return for a commitment by the retained man to provide (usually) military support, the lord would give his retainer a small annual fee, a badge or item of clothing to mark his loyalty (livery) and provide help for him in his disputes with his neighbours (maintenance). Northern England was a long way from Westminster, and rapid legal redress for wrongs was impossible. With his economic power as warden, Richard Neville could provide better support for Percy tenants than Northumberland, unpaid for the East March for years, could hope to.

In 1448, during the renewal of the war with Scotland, Northumberland took his forces through Richard Neville's West March - a grave breach of etiquette. Northumberland was defeated, and his son Lord Poynings was captured. The fact that Richard Neville lost 2,000 horses trying to respond to this attack, and was then excluded (along with Northumberland) from the subsequent peace negotiations can only have inflamed relations between the two families. Over time, the ill will might have receded, but Northumberland's second son, Lord Egremont, spent the next few years stirring up trouble in Yorkshire - particularly York, situated between the Percy estates of Spofforth and Healaugh, and Neville's castle at Sheriff Hutton.

In August 1453, Egremont assembled a force perhaps as large as 1,000 strong, intending to waylay Richard Neville as he made for Sheriff Hutton. Richard Neville had been attending the wedding of his son Thomas in Lincolnshire, and although his escort would have been smaller, it would have been better armed than Egremont's York tradesmen. Richard Neville and his retinue arrived unscathed at Sheriff Hutton, but the episode marked the beginning of what was virtually a private war.

However Richard Neville turned to the cause of Richard, Duke of York, who made him Lord Chancellor in 1455. When King Henry tried to assert his independence and dismiss Richard as Protector, Richard Neville joined him in fighting at the First Battle of St Albans, claiming that he was acting in self-defence. After the Battle of Blore Heath, in which he was notably successful, Richard Neville escaped to Calais, having been specifically excluded from a royal pardon.

He became king after the death of his uncle Henry I. After Stephen's death, Henry II became king.

The rightful heiress to the crown of England was Henry I's daughter Matilda but at the time of Henry's death she was with her husband in Anjou and Stephen was the first to reach London and successfully claim the throne. Matilda or Maud, as she was also known, disputed Stephen's claim. Matilda's illegitimate half brother the 1st Earl of Gloucester rebelled, and civil war broke out in 1139 when Matilda invaded. In April 1141 hostile troops seized Stephen at the Battle of Lincoln but in November exchanged him for Gloucester who had been imprisoned by Stephen's supporters. Stephen then regained much lost power and in 1148 Matilda left England. Upon Maud's death, her son Henry Fitz-Empress continued the challenge. While the dispute continued, Henry married the divorced wife of the French King. This gave him great power as his wife was, in her own right, a reigning Princess. Stephen had married Matilda of Boulogne and hoped that their son Eustace would succeed him, however Eustace died and in 1153 at Winchester, Stephen reluctantly declared Henry Fitz-Empress as his heir. He has an extensive biographical entry in the  Dictionary of National Biography. ~1104 - 1152 Matilda de Boulogne 48 48 She succeeded to the title of  Queen Consort Matilda of England on 22 March 1136. ~1045 - 1102 Stephen Henry de Blois 57 57 He died on 19 May 1102 at Ramula, Israel, wounds in action.

He served briefly as Justiciar  of England in 1260 and as Constable of the Tower of London.

Hugh Le Despenser, chief justiciar of England, first plays an important part in 1258, when he was prominent on the baronial side in the Mad Parliament of Oxford. In 1260 the barons choose him to succeed Hugh Bigod as Justiciar, and in 1263 the king was further compelled to put the Tower of London in his hands.

He was the son of Hugh le Despenser I and was summoned to Parliament by Simon de Montfort Hugh was summoned as Lord Despencer Dec. 14, 1264 and was Chief Justiciar of England and a leader of the baronial party, and so might be deemed a baron, though the legality of that assembly is doubtful. He remained allied with Montfort to the end, and was present at the Battle of Lewes. He was killed fighting on de Montfort's side at the Battle of Evesham in August, 1265. He was slain by Roger Mortimer, 1st Baron Wigmore; this caused a feud to begin between the Despenser and Mortimer families.

By his wife, Aline Bassett, he was father of Hugh the elder Despenser. She was the daughter of Philip Basset, who had also served as Justiciar. <1211 Aline Basset <1195 Philip Basset <1261 John de St. John John de St. John lived at Basing.

When Vikings from Ireland invaded, the Archbishop of Canterbury arranged a treaty between them and the English and this divided the country. Later Edmund defeated these Vikings and regained the lost territory. Edmund had allies in the Welsh princes and together they laid waste to Strathclyde. Edmund was warlike and an effective monarch. An interesting story about Edmund concerns Dunstan, who in later years became Archbishop of Canterbury. Edmund and Dunstan were good companions but treacherous courtiers wrongly discredited Dunstan and he was so upset that he contemplated leaving the country he loved so much. Just afterwards, the year was 943, he and Edmund were out riding at Cheddar when Edmund's horse reared up and bolted towards the cliffs of the Gorge. When all seemed lost, the thought struck Edmund of the evil done to Dunstan by the courtiers. He struggled and managed to regain control of his horse and thus avoid the cliffs. He called Dunstan and straightway rode with him to Glastonbury and immediately appointed his good friend as Abbot there.

 ~0943 - 0975 King Eadgar (the Peaceful) of England 32 32 Edgar was the younger brother of Edwy the previous king. Dunstan, who had been exiled by Edwy, was recalled and appointed Archbishop of Canterbury. Dunstan organised an elaborate coronation for Edgar at Bath and afterwards had a powerful influence on the King. Edgar associated himself closely with the Church and his reign was peaceful and the country was well organised, having a common system of weights, measures and coinage. The courts of justice functioned well and both education and literature flourished. In 973 all the lesser kings, including the Welsh princes, promised allegiance and eight of them made a symbolic gesture by rowing a barge with the King at the helm upon the River Dee. This was a golden era.

 ~0945 - ~1002 Ælfthryth 57 57 Ælfthryth (c. 945-1000, also Alfrida, Elfrida or Elfthryth) was the second or third wife of King Edgar of England. Ælfthryth was the first king's wife known to have been crowned and anointed as Queen of the Kingdom of England. Mother of King Ethelred the Unready, she was a powerful political figure. She was linked to the murder of her stepson King Edward the Martyr and appeared as a stereotypical bad Queen and evil stepmother in many medieval histories.

She was a nun circa 986 at Wherwell Abbey, Hampshire, England.

 D. 0971 Ordgar of Devon ~0968 - 1016 King Æthelred (the Unready) of England II 48 48 He died on 23 April 1016 at London, England, murdered.

Ethelred was the son of King Edgar and began to reign when only 11 years old. He was a weakling, totally unable to withstand the Danish onslaught that re-started on his accession. He continually attempted to buy off the Danes - Danegeld - as when he lost the Battle of Maldon in 991. In a state of near panic he ordered the slaughter of all Danes whether peaceful settlers or not and this foul deed was put in hand on St. Brices Day 13 Nov 1002. Among the victims was the sister of Sweyn, King of Denmark. The Norsemen were furious and ravaged the country from Cornwall to Kent and from South Wales to East Anglia. By 1013, Sweyn, who was accompanied by his son Canute, was proclaimed King but he died soon afterwards. Ethelred fled to Normandy when Sweyn's rule prevailed and then on Sweyn's death he returned but the English lords placed severe restrictions on him. The Danes led by Canute returned in 1015 and landing at Poole they crossed the Thames at Cricklade.

 ~0963 - 1002 Aelgifu 39 39 Thored of Northumbria Ealdorman of York

Thored (Old English: Ðoreð or Þoreð; fl. 979–992) was a 10th century ealdorman of York, ruler of the southern half of the old Kingdom of Northumbria on behalf of the king of England. He was the son of either Gunnar or Oslac, northern ealdormen. If he was the former, he may had attained adulthood by the 960s, when a man of his name raided Westmorland. Other potential appearances in the records are likewise uncertain until 979, the point from which Thored's period as ealdorman can be accurately dated.
Although historians differ in their opinions about his relationship, if any, to Kings Edgar the Peaceable and Edward the Martyr, it is generally thought that he enjoyed a good relationship with King Æthelred II. His daughter Ælfgifu married Æthelred. Thored was ealdorman in Northumbria for much of Æthelstan's reign, disappearing from the sources in 992 after being appointed by Æthelred to lead an expedition against the Vikings.
 D. 1016 King Edmund “Ironside” of England, II Edmund II 'Ironside', King of England succeeded to the title of  King Edmund II of England on 23 April 1016. He was crowned King of England in April 1016 at St. Paul's Cathedral, The City, London, England. He fought in the Battle of Assandun on 18 October 1016, where he was defeated by Cnut. Due to King Ethelred having been so inept, Cnut was accepted as King by a large section of the country after Ethelred's death. Cnut ruled most of the country North of the Thames whilst Edmund was accepted in the South. Cnut laid siege to London and wished to control it with his fleet but his ships could not pass London Bridge, so he had a cutting made on the South side of the bridge and passed his ships around it. Edmund marched on London through the woods at Tottenham and a fierce battle ensued. Cnut withdrew and fought Edmund at Ashington (Assandun) in Essex but this time Edmund was beaten. Cnut was wise and knew that Edmund was popular so he met him on an island in the Severn near Deerhurst and it was agreed that Edmund should rule Wessex and Canute would rule the land North of the Thames, including London.

Commanding a force with the purpose of bringing relief to the Duke of Brittany, Sir John was compelled to wait for stronger winds. During this wait he decided to take refuge in a nunnery, where his men "took no notice of the sanctity of the place and... violently assaulted and raped" those they found inside. Further to this Sir John "allowed his men to ransack the countryside as they liked and to impoverish the people". When the force eventually set out to sea, carrying with them goods stolen from a nearby church and under a pronouncement of excommunication from the wronged priests, the expedition was caught in a storm.

Thomas Walsingham reports that during the panic of the storm, Sir John murdered those of his men who refused to make for shore for fear of being shipwrecked upon the rocks. Subsequently, after safely arriving on an island off the Irish coast, Sir John and his boat captain were swept back into the sea and drowned.

He appears to have been one of the fops of the period, for he had on board 52 suits of clothes "pro proprio corpore, novos apparatus vel aureos vel aureo textos."

 William Kempe Alice Scott ~1406 Thomas Kempe ~1370 - 1428 Thomas Kempe 58 58 He succeeded his elder brother, Roger, who died without issue. He was escheator to the king, and was frequently called upon in and around 1388 to admit clergy and others to lands which had escheated to the crown. His wife was a very good match, for her family exceeded his in importance and possessions. ~1345 Peter Kempe He inherited from his brother. In 1352 he was apparently living at Brabourne, at the time a seat of the Scotts, with whom the Kempes intermarried several times. Beatrice Lewknor ~1310 John Kempe ~1325 Agnes Alden ~1270 - ~1313 Ralph Kempe 43 43 He is the first known holder of the manor of Ollantigh, which he held from 1283 to 1313. He is also the earliest known ancestor of the Wye Kempes. The theory that they were descendants of John Kempe, a Flemish weaver who settled in England under royal protection in 1313, is probably not true, because they were settled at Wye before that time.

She was twice wed; it is unclear why her uncle Robert, her father's younger brother, didn't succeed to the Poynings barony. ~1525 - 1563 Thomas Finch 38 38 died in the sinking of the "Greyhound" enroute to Le Havre. 1521 - 1554 Thomas Wyatt 33 33 Thomas Wyatt the younger (1521 – 11 April 1554) was a rebel leader during the reign of Queen Mary I of England; his rising is traditionally called "Wyatt's rebellion".

He was born at Allington Castle, the only son of Sir Thomas Wyatt, the famous poet, by Elizabeth Brooke, daughter of Thomas Brooke, 3rd Lord Cobham. The Duke of Norfolk was his godfather. At the age of fifteen he became a squire at the court of King Henry VIII, and Joint Constable of Conisborough Castle. In the same year, his father was imprisoned after a feud with the king's brother-in-law, Charles Brandon, 1st Duke of Suffolk and on the false charge of being Anne Boleyn's lover. Anne Boleyn was beheaded on May 19, 1536. Thomas's father was later released, but re-imprisoned in 1541 and only released after the intervention of Queen Catherine Howard. Thomas himself married Jane Hawte, daughter and co-heiress of Sir William Hawte of Bishopsbourne, by whom he had several children. He is also known to have had an illegitimate son, whose mother Elizabeth was a daughter of Sir Edward Darrell of Littlecote.

He was brought up a Roman Catholic. However, he is said to have been turned into an enemy of the Spaniards by witnessing the activities of the Spanish Inquisition while accompanying his father on a mission to Spain. On his father's death in 1542, he inherited Allington Castle and Boxley Abbey. He served in the war against France, and was knighted in 1547. During the reign of King Edward VI, he was arrested for breaking windows while drunk. He was tried before the Privy Council and imprisoned in the Tower of London.

On his release, Wyatt went to fight for the Habsburg emperor (who was also king of Spain), Charles V in Flanders, obtaining further valuable military experience. In 1543 he took part in the siege of Landrecies, and in the following year was at the siege of Boulogne.

Returning to Allington, he lived quietly until the uprising by the Duke of Northumberland, to put Lady Jane Grey on the throne. Escaping punishment by Queen Mary, he took no further part in politics until Mary's plans to marry Philip the prince of Spain, later Philip II of Spain, became known. In 1554 he joined with the conspirators who combined to prevent the marriage. A general movement was planned; but his fellow-conspirators were timid and inept, the rising was serious only in Kent, and Wyatt became a formidable rebel mostly by accident. On January 22, 1554 he summoned a meeting of his friends at his castle of Allington, and January 25 was fixed for the rising.

On January 26 Wyatt occupied Rochester, and issued a proclamation to the county. The country people and local gentry collected, but at first the queen's supporters, led by Lord Abergavenny and Sir Robert Southwell, the sheriff, appeared to be able to suppress the rising with ease. But the Spanish marriage was unpopular, and Kent was more affected by the preaching of the reformers than most of the country districts of England. Abergavenny and Southwell were deserted by their men, who either disbanded or went over to Wyatt, who now had 3,000 men at his command. A detachment of the London trainbands sent against him under the command of the Duke of Norfolk also joined the rebels, raising their numbers to 4,000, and the Duke was forced to return to London.

The rising now seemed so formidable that a deputation was sent to Wyatt by the queen and council to ask for his terms. He insisted that the Tower should be surrendered to him, and the queen put under his charge. The insolence of these demands caused a reaction in London, where the reformers were strong and were at first in sympathy with him. When he reached Southwark on February 3 he found London Bridge occupied in force, and was unable to penetrate into the city. He was driven from Southwark by the threats of Sir John Brydges (or Bruges), afterwards Lord Chandos, who was prepared to fire on the suburb with the guns of the Tower.

He could not find boats for crossing into Middlesex or Essex, so he marched his force up the river to Kingston, where he found the bridge destroyed. They repaired it and crossed the Thames, and made his way to Ludgate with a part of his following. Some of his men were cut off, others lost heart and deserted. His only hope was that a rising would take place, but the loyal forces kept order, and after a futile attempt to force the gate Wyatt surrendered.

He was brought to trial on March 15, and could make no defence. Execution was for a time delayed, no doubt in the hope that in order to save his life he would say enough to compromise the queen's sister Elizabeth, afterwards Queen Elizabeth, in whose interests the rising was supposed to have been made. But he would not confess enough to render her liable to a trial for treason. It was only through Elizabeth's dignity and composure that she managed to escape from the scandal unharmed, although she was spied upon and placed under house arrest for the rest of her sister's reign.

He was executed on April 11, and on the scaffold expressly cleared the princess of all complicity in the rising. After he was beheaded, his body was quartered.

His estates were afterwards partly restored to his son, George, the father of the Sir Francis Wyatt (d. 1644) who was governor of Virginia in 1621–26 and 1639–42. A fragment of the castle of Allington is still inhabited as a farm-house, near Maidstone, on the bank of the Medway. D. 1553 William Finch He was a Knight at Terouenne in 1513.

Dorothy Heydon 1452 - 1485 King Richard Plantagenet of England III 32 32 He gained the title of  Duke of Gloucester on 1 November 1461.

Edward Plantagenet (King Edward V) was only 12 years old when he succeeded to the throne on 9 April 1483. Richard was appointed his guardian. Edward had been living with his younger brother Richard, aged 9, who was the Duke of York, with their mother Queen Elizabeth, near Ludlow.

The Richard brought the young King to London ready for the coronation and installed him in a 'suitable residence' - the Tower of London. Shortly afterwards he took the Queen's remaining son Richard to join his brother at the Tower.

Gloucester's friends then proclaimed that the two children were illegitimate and that Edward had no claim to the throne. Parliament ratified this and Richard, Duke of Gloucester, was proclaimed King Richard III and crowned King of England on 6 July 1483.

The two young boys were murdered by Gloucester and his friends and their bodies lay undiscovered until the reign of Charles II when their remains were transferred to Westminster Abbey.

He fought in the Second Battle of St. Albans on 17 February 1460/61, where he led the Yorkists to defeat. He fought in the Battle of Towton on 29 March 1461, where he commanded the central block of the Yorkist army. In 1469 he suppressed the Lancastrian rising in the North, under his relative Sir Humphrey Neville. In September 1470 he proclaimed Henry as king, after switching support from King Edward IV to Henry (VI). He held the office of Admiral of England, Ireland and Acquitaine in January 1470/71.

He was probably related to the Vicomte de Chartres. He fought at the Battle of Hastings. He also owned lands near to Avranches.

He was already a large landowner in Sussex, England before the Norman Conquest, and is also thought to be of the family of Robert, Count of Eu, in France. St. Leger family derive their French tithes.

He was Brompton Regis and Lord of St Leger en Yvelines-Rambouillet des Aubees.
 1460 - ~1536 Henry Wyatt 76 76 Henry Wyatt was a young cadet of the Lancastrian house, the youngest son of a Yorkshire squire of Southange in Yorkshire. In 1483 he became involved, as a stout Lancastrian in the Duke of Buckingham's unsuccessful revolt in the West Country in favour of Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond, who was then in Brittany awaiting possible developments. In consequence Henry Wyatt was imprisoned in the Tower during the two years of the reign of Richard III, on whose orders he is said to have been tortured. He was only released on the death of King Richard and the accession of Henry VII. When the Standard of the fugitive Earl floated on the field of Bosworth, Wyatt found means to join it. When the Usurper had fallen on Bosworth field, one of the first acts of Henry VII was to liberate Henry and raise him from the private gentleman to the highest honours at Court. In 1485 he was rewarded by grant of “Keeper”, later to “Constable” for life of Norwich Castle. 1490 Master of the King’s Jewels for 34 years. 1488 Controller of the Mint, assisted with the reorganisation of the Mint and Coinage.


He married Anne Skinner, late in life, in 1502. He bought Allington Castle from the trustees of Robert Gainsford in 1292. The castle was in bad repair, and Henry Wyatt and his son made extensive alterations. They put in large Tudor windows, erected a fine porch, a ladies bower, a new fire place , a long gallery, a new kitchen and a new staircase. Camden ascribes the credit of these alterations to Thomas Wyatt, but most of them seem to have been carried out by his father.

1492 Esquire-of-the-Body, King’s select Bodyguard. He sold Hall in the village Solhange (South Haigh or Upper Haigh) which he had acquired through his marriage to Margaret, daughter and heiress of Richard Bailiff of Barnsley, and purchased Allington Castle and restored it. Henry VIII visited him there in 1527, as did Cardinal Wolsey.

1491 Joint Executor of Henry VII’s will. 1494 Governor of the Castle of Carlisle to hold the border against the Scots 1513 -1515, then ransomed. 1500 Commissioner of the Peace for South East England. 1504 Was one of four who formed committee of the Privy Council to raise money for the King by the sale of offices, privileges and pardons.

Henry VII had died at the age of 52. He was succeeded by Prince Henry (VIII) to who Henry Wyatt had been guardian for some years. Henry Wyatt created Knight of the Bath at the Coronation 23 Jul 1509. Was one of the signatories for England of the Treaty of Scotland.

Henry applied for a new grant of Arms in Jan 1507/8. The grant by Garter was made on the grounds simply that he was descended form the House of Blood and name of the Wyatts' He was a privy councillor and may not have been called upon by Garter to produce a pedigree any more than his acquaintances Cardinal Wolsey or Thomas Cromwell when they applied for Armorial Bearings which they had not inherited. In the Rolls of Roger Twysden the pedigree shows five generations back to an Adam Wyot, who lived in the middle of the 14 Century in Yorkshire.

In 1512 he was appointed joint constable of Norwich Castle with Sir Thomas Boleyn, (father of Anne Boleyn). In 1513 Wyatt conducted Suffolk from France to the Tower where he was executed by Henry VIII. Sir Henry was made Knight Banneret for his services at the Battle of Spurs in 1515, and was present at the Field of the Cloth of Gold.

As Treasurer of the King’s Chamber raised and sent £20,000 to King’s Army on the Scottish Border in 1522. About 1526, Henry Wyatt had official lodgings in the Royal Palace as member of the Select Body of the Privy Council to hear complaints of the King’s subjects.

When lesser monasteries were dissolved Wyatt obtained lands and tenements in Essex and land in Milton (near Faversham in Kent) where he established the “Henry Wyatt Chantry”

Resigned posts of Treasurer of the King’s Chamber and the Royal Mint in 1528.

Henry Wyatt died at Allington Castle in Nov 1536 nearly 80 years old and was buried at Milton, Gravesend.

 ~1486 Anne Skinner 1446 - 1470 John Skinner 24 24 An ardent Lancastrian. He was imprisoned during the reign of Richard III (1483-1485). Family records in possession of the Earl of Romney state that while in prison he was saved from starvation by a cat that brought him pigeons to eat. He was later knighted, after which he bought Allington Castle, near Maidstone, Kent England (1493). At the accession of Henry VIII he became Knight of the Bath, 1509 and a Knight Banneret in 1513. He held various offices at Court. His portrait was painted by Holbein 1527/28 and the original hangs in the Louvre.  Edward Warner Sir Edward Warner lived through the political and religious upheavals of the reigns of Henry VIII, Mary I, Edward VI and died in the reign of Elizabeth I.  He was a court official whose fortunes changed depending on the faction that held power at the time. He was imprisoned in the tower during Henry VIII’s reign. In 1549 Warner acted as Marshall of the Field during the suppression of the peasant’s revolt in Norfolk that was known as Kett’s Rebellion. In 1554 he was implicated in the rebellion of his step son, Sir Thomas Wyatt. In 1561 he was an inquisitor of Catherine Grey as Lieutenant of the Tower. <1476 - 1506 Margaret Neville 30 30 >1446 - ~1511 John Brooke 65 65 From 1491 to 1492 he was in an expedition to Flanders with King Henry VII.

 D. ~0942 Fulk d'Anjou Roselle de Loch Gardier de Loch Fastrada ~0787 Hiltrude ~0787 Hiltrude Tonantius Ferreolus Papianilla Dode Chloderic (the Parricide) of Franks Chlodoric (or Chloderic) the Parricide murdered his own father, Sigobert the Lame, in order to take his kingdom. Chlodoric acted upon the instigation of Clovis I a rival king of the Salian Franks. After Sigobert's death Clovis then accused Chlodoric of the murder and had him killed in his turn for the crime. In this way Clovis became king of Sigobert's and Chlodoric's people.

Gregory suggest that Chlodoric was murdered in the same campaign that also killed the Frankish King Chararic. Before, Clovis had killed King Ragnachar and his brothers. After all these murders Gregory tells us that Clovis lamented that he had left no family anymore, implying that amongst his own casualties were close relatives. D. ~0509 Sigobert (the Lame) of Franks Sigobert the Lame (also Sigibert or Sigebert, d. ca. 509) was a king of the Franks in the area of Zülpich (Latin: Tolbiac) and Cologne.

He was presumably wounded at the knee at the Battle of Tolbiac against the Alamanni.

According to Gregory of Tours, he was murdered by his son Chlodoric upon the instigation of Clovis I, sometime after his victory on the Visigoths (507). Clovis then accused Chlodoric of murder and had him killed in his turn. In this way Clovis became king of Sigobert's and Chlodoric's people.

Gregory suggests that Chlodoric was murdered in the same campaign that also killed the Frankish King Chararic. Before, Clovis had killed Ragnachar and his brothers. After all these murders Gregory tells us that Clovis lamented that he had left no family anymore, implying that amongst his own casualties were close relatives. ~0415 - 0484 Euric 69 69 Euric killed his older brother Theoderic II to become King of the Visigoths. Theoderic II had killed their older brother Thorismund to become king.

Euric, also known as Evaric, Erwig, or Eurico in Spanish and Portuguese, (c. 415–484), was the younger brother of Theodoric II and ruled as king of the Visigoths, with his capital at Toulouse, from 466 until his death in 484 .

He inherited a large portion of the Visigothic possessions in the Aquitaine region of Gaul, an area that had been under Visigothic control since 415. Over the decades the Visigoths had gradually expanded their holdings at the expense of the weak Roman government, advancing well into Hispania in the process.

Upon becoming king, Euric defeated several other Visigothic kings and chieftains in a series of civil wars and soon became the first ruler of a truly unified Visigothic nation. Taking advantage of the Romans' problems, he extended Visigothic power in Hispania, driving the Suevi into the northwest of Iberia. By the time the western empire ended in 476 he controlled nearly the entire Iberian peninsula.

In 470 Euric defeated an attempted invasion of Gaul by the Celtic magnate Riothamus and expanded his kingdom even further north, possibly as far as the Somme River, the March of Frankish territory. Goiswintha ~0539 - 0584 Chilperic of Neustria 45 45 Chilperic I (c. 539 – September 584) was the king of Neustria (or Soissons) from 561 to his death. He was one of the sons of Clotaire I, sole king of the Franks, and Aregund.

Immediately after the death of his father in 561, he endeavoured to take possession of the whole kingdom, seized the treasure amassed in the royal town of Berny and entered Paris. His brothers, however, compelled him to divide the kingdom with them, and Soissons, together with Amiens, Arras, Cambrai, Thérouanne, Tournai, and Boulogne fell to Chilperic's share. His eldest brother Charibert received Paris, the second eldest brother Guntram received Burgundy with its capital at Orléans, and Sigebert received Austrasia. On the death of Charibert in 567, his estates were augmented when the brothers divided Charibert's kingdom among themselves and agreed to share Paris.

Not long after his accession, however, he was at war with Sigebert, with whom he would long remain in a state of—at the very least—antipathy. Sigebert defeated him and marched to Soissons, where he defeated and imprisoned Chilperic's eldest son, Theudebert. The war flared in 567, at the death of Charibert. Chilperic immediately invaded Sigebert's new lands, but Sigbert defeated him. Chilperic later allied with Guntram against Sigebert (573), but Guntram changed sides and Chilperic again lost the war.

When Sigebert married Brunhilda, daughter of the Visigothic sovereign in Spain (Athanagild), Chilperic also wished to make a brilliant marriage. He had already repudiated his first wife, Audovera, and had taken as his concubine a serving-woman called Fredegund. He accordingly dismissed Fredegund, and married Brunhilda's sister, Galswintha. But he soon tired of his new partner, and one morning Galswintha was found strangled in her bed. A few days afterwards Chilperic married Fredegund.

This murder was the cause of more long and bloody wars, interspersed with truces, between Chilperic and Sigebert. In 575, Sigebert was assassinated by Fredegund at the very moment when he had Chilperic at his mercy. Chilperic then made war with the protector of Sigebert's wife and son, Guntram. Chilperic retrieved his position, took from Austrasia Tours and Poitiers and some places in Aquitaine, and fostered discord in the kingdom of the east during the minority of Childebert II.

In 578, Chilperic sent an army to fight the Breton ruler Waroch of the Vannetais along the Vilaine. The Frankish army consisted of units from the Poitou, Touraine, Anjou, Maine, and Bayeux. The Baiocassenses (men from Bayeux) were Saxons and they in particular were routed by the Bretons. The armies fought for three days before Waroch submitted, did homage for Vannes, sent his son as a hostage, and agreed to pay an annual tribute. He subsequently broke his oath, but Chilperic's dominion over the Bretons was relatively secure, as evidence by Venantius Fortunatus celebration of it in a poem.

He was detested by Gregory of Tours, who dubbed him as the Nero and Herod of his time (History of the Franks book vi.46): he had provoked Gregory's wrath by wresting Tours from Austrasia, seizing of ecclesiastical property, and appointing as bishops counts of the palace who were not clerics. His reign in Neustria also saw the introduction of the Byzantine punishment of eye-gouging. Yet, he was also a man of culture: he was a musician of some talent, and his verse (modeled on that of Sedulius) is well-regarded; he reformed the Germanic alphabet; and he worked to reduce the worst effects of Salic law upon women.

It was one day in September of 584, while returning from the chase to his royal villa of Chelles, that Chilperic was stabbed to death.

Chilperic may be regarded as the type of Merovingian sovereigns. He was exceedingly anxious to extend the royal authority. He was jealous of the royal treasury, levied numerous imposts, and his fiscal measures provoked a great sedition at Limoges in 579. When his daughter Rigunth was sent to the Visigoths as a bride for King Reccared, laden with wagonloads of showy gifts, the army that went with her lived rapaciously off the land as they travelled to Toledo. He wished to bring about the subjection of the church, and to this end sold bishoprics to the highest bidder, annulled the wills made in favour of the bishoprics and abbeys, and sought to impose upon his subjects a unique conception of the Trinity, as Gregory of Tours here relates:

    At the same time king Chilperic wrote a little treatise to the effect that the holy Trinity should not be so called with reference to distinct persons but should merely have the meaning of God, saying that it was unseemly that god should be called a person like a man of flesh; affirming also that the Father is the same as Son and that the Holy Spirit also is the same as the Father and the Son. "Such," said he, "was the view of the prophets and patriarchs and such is the teaching the law itself has given." When he had had this read to me he said: "I want you and the other teachers of the church to hold this view." But I answered him: "Good king, abandon this belief; it is your duty to follow the doctrine which the other teachers of the church left to us after the time of the apostles, the teachings of Hilarius and Eusebius which you professed at baptism."  D. 0597 Fredegund Fredegund or Fredegunda (also Latin Fredegundis or French Frédégonde; died 597) was the Queen consort of Chilperic I, the Merovingian Frankish king of Soissons.

Originally a servant, Fredegund became Chilperic's mistress after he had murdered his wife and queen, Galswintha (c. 568). But Galswintha's sister, Brunhilda, in revenge against Chilperic, began a feud which lasted more than 40 years.

Fredegund is said to be responsible for the assassination of Sigebert I in 575 and made attempts on the lives of Guntram (her brother-in-law and the king of Burgundy), Childebert II (Sigebert's son), and Brunhilda.

After the mysterious assassination of Chilperic (584), Fredegund seized his riches and took refuge in the cathedral at Paris. Both she and her surviving son, Clothar II, were protected by Guntram until he died in 592.

Gregory of Tours depicts her as ruthlessly murderous and sadistically cruel; in his account, Fredegund perhaps has few rivals in monstrousness. Although she did not live to see it, her son's execution of Brunhilda bore the mark of Fredegund's hatred: Clothar II had the old queen, now in her sixties, stretched in agony upon the rack for three entire days, then watched her meet her death chained between four horses that were goaded to the four points of the compass, tearing her body asunder.

Fredegund died c. 8 December 597 in Paris, France. The tomb of Frédégonde (d. 597) is a mosaic figure of marble and copper, situated in Saint Denis Basilica, having come from St. Germain-des-Prés. Aregund Aregund, Aregunda, Arnegund, Aregonda, or Arnegonda was the wife of Clotaire I, king of the Franks, and the mother of Chilperic I of Neustria. She was the sister of Ingund, one of Clotaire's other wives. She lived during the sixth century.

Her sepulchre, among dozens of others, was discovered in 1959 in the Saint Denis Basilica by archaeologist Michel Fleury. It contained remarkably well-preserved clothing items and jewellery, which were used to identify her.

In an episode of the television series, Digging for the Truth, aired in May 2006, host Josh Bernstein arranged a DNA test of a sample of her remains to see if it showed any Middle Eastern characteristics. It did not. ~0539 - 0584 Chilperic of Neustria 45 45 Chilperic I (c. 539 – September 584) was the king of Neustria (or Soissons) from 561 to his death.

Chilperic may be regarded as the type of Merovingian sovereigns. He was exceedingly anxious to extend the royal authority. He was jealous of the royal treasury, levied numerous imposts, and his fiscal measures provoked a great sedition at Limoges in 579. When his daughter Rigunth was sent to the Visigoths as a bride for King Reccared, laden with wagonloads of showy gifts, the army that went with her lived rapaciously off the land as they travelled to Toledo. He wished to bring about the subjection of the church, and to this end sold bishoprics to the highest bidder, annulled the wills made in favour of the bishoprics and abbeys, and sought to impose upon his subjects a unique conception of the Trinity, as Gregory of Tours here relates:

    At the same time king Chilperic wrote a little treatise to the effect that the holy Trinity should not be so called with reference to distinct persons but should merely have the meaning of God, saying that it was unseemly that god should be called a person like a man of flesh; affirming also that the Father is the same as Son and that the Holy Spirit also is the same as the Father and the Son. "Such," said he, "was the view of the prophets and patriarchs and such is the teaching the law itself has given." When he had had this read to me he said: "I want you and the other teachers of the church to hold this view." But I answered him: "Good king, abandon this belief; it is your duty to follow the doctrine which the other teachers of the church left to us after the time of the apostles, the teachings of Hilarius and Eusebius which you professed at baptism."  ~0537 - 0601 Agilulf, Bishop of Metz 64 64 D. 1002 Godfrey of Verdun D. 1044 Gozelo de Basse- Lorraine Children of Gozelo I, Duc de Basse-Lorraine and Urraca d'Ivrea

From these definitions, one can imagine that the estate of la Bourse might have been a productive source of agricult- ural wealth for the holders. La Bourse is located on the Michelin map of France, slightly south of Belgium, next to Noyelles.

One of the most illustrious seigneurs of this branch was Charles de Lannoy who became Viceroy of Naples in 1522 and was captain general of the armies of Emperor Charles V of Spain. At the battle of Pavia, in 1525, he took Francois I, the Kind of France, as his prisoner. Another branch of the Maingoval line through a natural son Antoine (bastard of Maingoval) founded a line that became known as Lannoy de Frise (Friesland in the Netherlands).

Louis was passionately in love with his wife.Louis, whose piety exasperated
Eleanor, was seeking ways to dissolve her marriage. The marriage was finally
annulled in 1152 under the pretext they were too closely related.
Eleanor was also known as the Dutchess of Aquitaine and Countess of Poitou.

The first of England's Plantagenet queens, Eleanor married Henry of Anjou,
later Henry II of England, as her second husband in 1152. She was 32 and Henry
was 20. Their first son, William, was born 4 months after their wedding.

The eldest child and heiress of William X, duke of Aquitaine, she married her
first husband, Louis VII of France, in 1137 at the age of 15 and bore him 2
daughters, Marie and Alice. In 1147 she took the cross with her husband at
Vezelay and accompanied him to the Holy Land on the Second Crusade.

Beautiful, intelligent and forceful, she has become celebrated as much through
legend as through historical fact. That she donned the dress of an Amazon and
surrounded herself with a band of Amazonian bodyguards is almost certainly
invention. That she flirted (and possibly more) with her uncle, Raymond of
Antioch, while in Palestine is hinted at by contemporary chroniclers, as is
the unsubstantiated rumour of her affair with Saladin, commander of the Muslim
forces in the Third Crusade ( who would have been only 11 at the time).
Whatever the reason, her marriage to the French king was annulled in 1151.

Eleanor was actively involved with Henry in the politcal life of England and
his French domains, and bore him five sons and three daughters. But relations
between king and queen deteriorated. Eleanor's resentment against her husband
grew, fuelled by her discovery of his affair with "The Fair Rosamund" (whom
she is rumoured to have bled to death). From 1169 onwards she conspired
actively with her sons against their father, even disguising herself as a man
to follow her sons to France.

Her influence on the artistic, literary and cultural life of the 12th century
was as great as her impact on its politics : she founded her own literary
court and under her patronage the medieval tradition of courtly love first
emerged. Eleanor died at Fontrevault in France in 1202, at the exceptional age
of 82.

The Book of the Medieval Knught by Stephen Turnbull

Gascony's connection with England dated back to the 12th century. when its heiress, Eleanor of Aquitaine, one of the richest women in Europe was divorced rfom her husband, Louis VII, King of France, and married a certain Henry Plantagent. Henry had
just inherited Maine, Touraine and Anjou from his father and was already Duke of Normandy and Suzerain of Brittany. With the possession of Aquitaine (or Gascony) he now controlled more territory in France than the King of France, and in 1154, on the
death of King Stephen, Henry became King Henry III of England.

After 1167, she and Henry drifted apart and towards the end of the reign she spent the greater part of each year in prison while he enjoyed a succession of mistresses. 1120 - 1180 Louis VII 60 60 He also married Constance of Castile second - no children.
Louis VII, also referred to as "the young" divorced Eleanor in 1152 who he
suspected was cheating on him during the Crusade.

He grew up in England and became count palatine of the Rhine through his 1193 marriage to Agnes, heir to the Staufen count. When his younger brother Otto became one of two rival kings of the Holy Roman Empire in 1198, Henry at first supported him, but switched sides to Philip of Staufen in 1203. After he inherited significant properties in northern Germany from his brother William in 1213, he ceded the Palatinate to his son Henry, and moved north. He left his northern German properties to William's son, Otto. Henry died in 1227 and is entombed in Brunswick Cathedral. 1176 - 1204 Agnes Hohenstaufen 28 28 Children of Agnes Hohenstaufen and Heinrich I von Zelle, Duke of Saxony and Bavaria

 D. 1107 Gytha King Harold Godwinson of England II Harold was the son of Godwin, Earl of Wessex, and the brother-in-law of Edward the Confessor. Before coming to the throne Harold had been captured in France and, under duress, is alleged to have sworn that he would not accept the English crown but would support William of Normandy's claim. When Edward the Confessor died the Wittan (Council) elected Harold to succeed him and he was crowned at Westminster Abbey. In Sept 1066 King Harold Hardrada of Norway and Tostig, Harold of England's half brother, sailed up the Humber and landed at Ricall near York. King Harold marched his army from the South up Ermine Street and decisively defeated the invaders at Stamford Bridge on 25th Sept. Meanwhile, William of Normandy was assembling his forces at the mouth of the Somme and as soon as the wind was favourable he crossed the Channel and landed at Pevensey on the 28th September. Harold force marched south and reached Battle near Hastings on the 13th Oct. The following day, Saturday 14th October 1066, is probably the most memorable in English History. Each army consisted of about 7,000 men but the Normans had the advantage of bow-men and cavalry while the English relied on axe and spear-men. The battle raged fiercely all day and in the evening, William ordered his archers to shoot high so that the arrows would drop vertically. Harold was struck in the right eye and mortally wounded.

Her maternal grandparents were Raoul III, Sire de Fougères and Isabelle de Craon. She had three sisters, Yolande, Isabelle, and Marie, and two brothers, Hugh XIII of Lusignan and Guy I of Lusignan.

Jeanne married firstly Bernard IV, Sire d'Albret, by whom she had two daughters: Mathe, Dame d'Albret (died 1283) and Isabelle, Dame d'Albret (died 1 December 1294) who married Bernard VI, Count of Armagnac. After the death of her first husband on 24 December 1280, Jeanne married secondly sometime before 1285 Sir Piers de Geneville, of Trim and Ludlow Castle (d. bef.

This influential king established a basic form of central government; issued the first royal coinage; built the castle nuclei of Berwick, Edinburgh, and Stirling; and stengthened Angle-Norman aristocratic and feudal influence in Scotland. This followed his early years at the court of England's Henry I, David's brother-in-law, where he was 1st. Earl of Huntingdon. From 1136 David fought for his neice Matilda against Stephen in the English civil wars, and secured parts of Cumberland and Northumberland for himself. He modified Scottish Christianity (5 bishoprics founded) and established great Lowland abbeys on mainstream West Europeon lines. Succeeded by his grandson, Malcolm IV. Maud of Northumberland She married Simon de St. Liz , Earl of Huntingdon and Northampton circa 1090, and married David I 'the Saint', King of Scotland, son of Malcolm III 'Caennmor', King of Scotland and Saint Margaret 'the Exile' circa 1113.

 D. 1076 Waltheof of Northumberland Waltheof was the Earl of Northumbria and last of the Anglo-Saxon earls. He was the only English aristocrat to be formally executed during the reign of William I. He was reputed for his physical strength but was weak and unreliable in character. ~1054 - >1086 Judith of Lens 32 32 Siward Digera Siward or Sigurd (Old English: Sigeweard) was a great earl of 11th-century northern England. The Old Norse nickname Digri and its Latin translation Grossus ("the stout") are given to him by near-contemporary texts. Siward was probably of Scandinavian origin, perhaps a member of Earl Ulf's kindred, and emerged as a powerful regional strongman in England during the reign of Canute the Great (1016–1035). Elfleda D. 1054 Lambert de Boulogne He died in 1054, from wounds received in action, without male issue. D. 1054 Lambert de Boulogne He died in 1054, from wounds received in action, without male issue. 1029 - ~1088 Adeliza 59 59 d. between 1087 and 1090 1029 - ~1088 Adeliza 59 59 d. between 1087 and 1090 D. 1038 Ealdred of Bamburgh Ealdred was Earl of Bernicia from 1020/25 until his murder in 1038. He was the son of Uhtred, Earl of Northumbria, who was murdered by Thurbrand the Hold in 1016 with the connivance of Canute. Ealdred's mother was Ecgfrida, daughter of Aldhun, bishop of Durham.

Ealdred succeeded his uncle Eadwulf Cudel as Earl of Bernicia in 1020/25, and some time probably in the mid 1020s he killed Thurbrand in revenge for his father's death. In 1038 Ealdred was murdered by Thurbrand's son, Carl. He was succeeded as Earl of Bernicia by his brother, another Eadwulf, who was murdered by King Harthacanute in 1041.

Ealdred's daughter, Aelfflaed, was the first wife of Siward, Earl of Northumbria and her son, and Ealdred's grandson, was Waltheof, Earl of Northumbria. D. 1016 Uhtred Uchtred or Uhtred, called the Bold, was the ealdorman of all Northumbria from 1006 to 1016, when he was assassinated. He was the son of Waltheof I, ealdorman of Bamburgh, whose ancient family had ruled from the castle of Bamburgh on the Northumbrian coast. Ecgfrida Aldhun's daughter Ecgfrida married first Uchtred the Bold who was Earl of Northumbria from 1006 to 1016. After he repudiated her, she married a northern thegn Kilvert. The marriage probably took place close to the time when Uchtred helped her father move the see to Durham. Their son Ealdred was the grandfather of Waltheof earl of Northumbria ~0959 - 1018 Aldhun 59 59 Aldhun of Durham (born circa 959, died 1018), also known as Ealdhun, was the last Bishop of Lindisfarne and the first Bishop of Durham. Waltheof of Bamburgh Waltheof was high-reeve or ealdorman of Bamburgh (fl. 994). He was the son of Osulf I. His name is Scandinavian and implies that he had Viking ancestors. It remained in his family when Earl Siward married his great-granddaughter and named his son Waltheof. This son of Siward became Waltheof, Earl of Northumbria. Nothing is known about Waltheof's period in office. Osulf of Bamburgh Osulf was high-reeve of Bamburgh and ruler of Northumbria. Sometimes called "earl", he is more surely the first recorded high-reeve of Bamburgh and the man who, after assisting in the death of its last independent ruler Erik Bloodaxe, administered the York-based Kingdom of Northumbria when it was taken over by the Wessex-based King Eadred of England in 954.

Osulf's origins are unclear. Many historians assume him to have been the son of Ealdred or a relative of Ealdred and his father Eadulf, English rulers of the York-based Northumbrian kingdom. Richard Fletcher and David Rollason thought he might be the Osulf Dux who had witnessed charters further south in the 930s, which if true would extend Osulf's floruit back to 934. D. 1016 King Edmund “Ironside” of England, II Edmund II 'Ironside', King of England succeeded to the title of  King Edmund II of England on 23 April 1016. He was crowned King of England in April 1016 at St. Paul's Cathedral, The City, London, England. He fought in the Battle of Assandun on 18 October 1016, where he was defeated by Cnut. Due to King Ethelred having been so inept, Cnut was accepted as King by a large section of the country after Ethelred's death. Cnut ruled most of the country North of the Thames whilst Edmund was accepted in the South. Cnut laid siege to London and wished to control it with his fleet but his ships could not pass London Bridge, so he had a cutting made on the South side of the bridge and passed his ships around it. Edmund marched on London through the woods at Tottenham and a fierce battle ensued. Cnut withdrew and fought Edmund at Ashington (Assandun) in Essex but this time Edmund was beaten. Cnut was wise and knew that Edmund was popular so he met him on an island in the Severn near Deerhurst and it was agreed that Edmund should rule Wessex and Canute would rule the land North of the Thames, including London.

He was the last Danish King of England and he demanded high taxes from the people to pay for his fleet and army. When his tax collectors went to Worcester, two of them were cornered by a mob in the tower of the Minster where they had gone to hide, and were murdered. Harthacnut sent an army to seek revenge but the good citizens of Worcester successfully defended themselves on Bevere island in the Severn. The thwarted army then burned down Worcester.

This marriage was annulled on 13 November 1349 .

She survived her husband by many years and was one of the very few English people present at the Jubilee, at Rome, in 1350; the king had tried to prevent the attendance of his subjects at this ceremony on account of the large sums of money usually taken out of the kingdom on such occasions.

There is a difference in genealogies. It is unverified whether Robert was married to William I's (alleged) sister Isabella, or if he was the second husband of William's daughter Isabel. ~1144 Everard de Ros Everard de Ros (born 1144) was the third Lord of Hamlake, who seems to have been very wealthy, as in 1176 he paid the then large sum of five hundred and twenty-six pounds as a fine for his lands, and other large amounts subsequently.

Humphrey Stafford He is probably not one of the more important Humphrey Staffords.

'Burke's Peerage, p. 832, on the history of the Earldom of Devon, states "Subsequently a member of the Stafford family who were for a while Dukes of Buckingham (see Stafford, Baron) was created Earl of Devon in 1469 by Edward IV. On joining an uprising in the North of England, however, he was executed later the same year, having held the title exactly three months." This is the only Stafford Earl of Devon (the rest were almost all Courtenay family), which makes the "Earls" plural in the above citation from AR a little bit of an exageration. On p. 2680, Stafford, Baron, Burke's lists Humphrey Stafford, 1st Duke of Buckingham, b. 15 Aug 1402 (too late to be Alice's father), d. 10 July 1460. There were no Humphrey's listed before him and no one was listed who was Earl of Devon or died in 1469 (It is very small text with the 1st Duke's family going on for 2 long pages, and I have been known to miss things, but I did search thoroughly). Who the Humphrey cited here is or his relationship to the "Stafford Earls of Devon" or Dukes of Buckingham or Earls/Barons of Stafford is a mystery.' 1401 - 1430 Edmund Cheyney 29 29 ~1361 - 1417 Walter Tailboys 56 56 He held the office of Sheriff of Lincolnshire in 1389.
