     BIRTH     1204
     DEATH     12 Apr 1237 (aged 32–33)
     Berengaria of Leon was the third wife but only empress consort of John of Brienne, Latin Emperor of Constantinople
Berengaria was a daughter of King Alfonso IX of León and Queen Berengaria I of Castile. She was a younger sister of Ferdinand III of Castile and Alfonso of Molina. Their paternal grandparents were Ferdinand II of León and Urraca of Portugal. Their maternal grandparents were Alfonso VIII of Castile and Eleanor of England.
     In 1217, Berengaria's brother Ferdinand III had inherited the throne of the Kingdom of Castile through abdication of their mother.
     In 1223, John of Brienne, aged 53, visited Santiago de Compostela, as a supposed pilgrim. He was by then twice a widower: first, in 1213 of Queen Maria of Jerusalem and then of Stephanie, daughter of Leo II of Armenia.
     As a consequence of his visit to Santiago de Compostela, Alfonso IX invited him to marry Sancha and, presumably, through her inherit the Leonese throne.
However Berengaria of Castile, a long time divorced and an inheritor in her own right of the Castilian throne, main advisor of her son Ferdinand III, offered one of her own daughters to John instead.
     Aging John chose Berengaria of Leon, from Alfonso IX's second doomed marriage, who was a decade younger than her half-sister Sancha, from Alfonso IX's first doomed marriage. The marriage took place at Toledo in 1224.
     Berengaria and John of Brienne had four known children, known to have been residents in Spain with his cousin, King Alfonso X of Castile, signing widely in many documents for many years with other high nobility witnesses, Bishops and Archbishops, Royal legitimate and illegitimate offspring and so on :
-- Marie of Brienne (1225-1275), who married Emperor Baldwin II of Constantinople.
-- Alphonso of Brienne (c. 1228-1270), who married Marie d'Issoudon, countess of Eu, and became count of Eu in right of his wife, and was also Great Chamberlain of France. Died of a plague while involved in the Eighth Crusade.
-- John of Brienne (c. 1230-1296), who in 1258 became Grand Butler of France. Married Jeanne, Dame de Chateaudun, daughter of Geoffrey VI, Viscount de Chateaudun, as his first wife. His second wife was Marie de Coucy, widow of King Alexander II of Scotland.
-- Louis of Acre (c. 1235-1263), who married Agnes of Beaumont and became Viscount of Beaumont in her right.

     "Berenguela was born about 1198, the eldest daughter of Alfonso IX, king of León, and his second wife Berenguela of Castile. In 1223 Jean de Brienne, king of Jerusalem, then aged 53, visited Santiago de Compostela as a supposed pilgrim. He was by then twice a widower: first in 1213 of Maria de Monferrato, queen of Jerusalem, and then of Stephanie, daughter of Leo II of Armenia.
     "As a consequence of Jean's visit to Santiago de Compostela, Alfonso IX invited him to marry his daughter Sancha of León, elder daughter of his first marriage with Dona Teresa, infanta of Portugal, and presumably through her inherit the Leónese throne. However Berenguala of Castile, long divorced from Alfonso and an inheritor in her own right of the Castilian throne, the main advisor to her son Fernando III, king of Castile, offered her daughter Berenguela of León and Castile to Jean instead.
     "The aging Jean, son of Erard II, comte de Brienne and Agnès de Nevers, chose Berenguela, who was about five years younger than her half-sister Sancha. Their three sons Jean, Alfons and Louis, and daughter Marie, would all have progeny.
     "In 1229 the throne of the Latin Empire had been inherited by Baudouin II de Courtenay, a twelve-year-old boy. The barons of the empire decided to secure its safety by appointing a regent-emperor for Baudouin. They chose Jean who accepted the assignment as a sort of senior mentor. In 1229 Jean was proclaimed regent at Perugia. He and Berenguela did not arrive at Constantinople until 1231, when Jean was officially crowned in his new city.
     "Baudouin II remained the junior co-emperor and only heir to the throne. By agreement he had been betrothed since 19 April 1229 to the 4-5 years old Marie de Brienne, a daughter of Jean and Berenguela, to firmly establish the dynastic alliance of the two co-emperors and with Spain, the Western Land for Crusades. The marriage did not take place until 1234, when Marie was about 9 and Baudouin about 16. Their son Philippe, born in 1243, would have progeny.
     "The medieval Cistercian chronicler Alberic of Trois-Fontaines records that Jean died on 27 March 1237, aged around 61. The 'Obituaires de Sens Tome' of the Abbey of Maubuisson record that Berenguela died on 12 April 1237, aged around 33, surviving her husband by only sixteen days. She is buried in a beautiful marble coffin in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Spain."⁷

His first marriage was arranged by Philippe II King of France, who gave him a dower of 40,000 silver pounds, a sum which was equalled by Pope Innocent III[315]. He landed at Acre 13 Sep 1210, was married to his first wife the next day, and was crowned 3 Oct 1210 at Tyre as JEAN King of Jerusalem by Albert Patriarch of Jerusalem[316]. "Iohannes…Latinorum Ierusalem rex decimus et comes Brena et domina Maria uxor mea regina" donated property to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem by charter dated 1 Jul 1211[317]. He retained the bailiship of the kingdom of Jerusalem after the death of his first wife[318], nominally in the name of his daughter. After a long siege, and with the help of western armies which were part of the Fifth Crusade, Damietta in Egypt was captured 5 Nov 1219 and added to the territory of the kingdom of Jerusalem[319]. Jean left the crusade in Feb 1220, intending to visit Armenia to claim the throne in the name of his second wife following the death of her father, but as both she and their infant son died before he sailed for Cilicia he had no further claim and abandoned the journey[320]. He arrived back with the Fifth Crusade 6 Jul 1221, which proceeded to march further into Egypt but was forced to retreat and return Damietta 8 Sep 1221[321]. After appointing Eudes de Montbéliard as regent, King Jean sailed from Acre in autumn 1222, to find a suitable husband for his daughter. He agreed to her marriage with Friedrich II King of Germany on condition that he continued as regent of Jerusalem for life. Matthew Paris records that “Johannes de Brennes rex Jerusalem et magister superioris Hospitalis fratrum Jerusalem” visited England “circa octavas Apostolorum Petri et Pauli” to seek help for the relief of “Terræ Sanctæ”[322]. His son-in-law reneged on his promise relating to the throne of Jerusalem immediately after his wedding and declared himself king of Jerusalem in 1225[323]. He was appointed regent of the Latin empire of Constantinople, by agreement at Perugia in Apr 1229, and was crowned JEAN Emperor of Constantinople on his arrival in the city in 1231.

A continuator of Caffaro records the death in 1192 of "Conrado marchionis Montidferrati" leaving "uxore sua pregnante, ex quo nata est unica filia Maria"[326], which indicates that Maria must have been born in summer 1192, therefore after her mother's second marriage. She was known as "la Marquise", from her father's rank[327]. Her marriage was arranged by Philippe II King of France, who gave her husband a dower of 40,000 silver pounds, a sum which was equalled by Pope Innocent III[328].

     Henry of Newburgh, 1st Earl of Warwick
     Henry was the second of two three sons and third of four children of Sir Roger de Beaumont and Adeline of Meulan, daughter of Waleran III, Count de Meulan. Grandson of Humphrey de Vieilles, born at the castle of Newburg near Louviers, Normandy, which he inherited.
     Henry married Margaret, the daughter of Geoffrey de Perche and Beatrix of Montdidier and had five sons:
     The historian Orderic Vitalis stated Henry was with William II on his 1088 campaign in the Midlands when he was given the charge of Warwick Castle as Constable, and William made him Earl of Warwick the same year and awarded Henry with Warwick Castle, along with it's borough and manor. Henry founded the Church of All Saints within the castle walls by 1119, but the Bishop of Worcester felt it was an inappropriate location for a church and removed it in 1127 or 1128. The castle left the family when his son's wife, Gundred de Warenne, was tricked into believing her husband was dead and turned the castle over to King Henry II's invading army in 1153.
     Henry also received an unprecedented group of royal estates in Rutland and the royal forest of Sutton, the current day Sutton Chase, believed to have been an arrangement to protect his earldom between his father, brother and King William. His brother, Robert de Beaumont, Count of Meulan, a proven companion to William at the Battle of Hastings, is mentioned in the Domesday Book with English holdings.
     Henry was in high favor at court after he had assisted in the reconciliation of King William and his son, Robert Curthouse in 1081. Both Henry and his brother were also with the royal hunting party at Hampshire that fateful day when William was killed by an arrow. Both Beaumonts swore their allegiance to William's brother Henry I, the few who would remain loyal to Henry as the barons supported Duke Robert Curthose for the throne.
     King Henry I awarded Henry with the lordship of Gower, Wales around 1107 where Henry built a castle at Swansea that withstood an attack by the Welsh in 113. Henry also captured the Gower Peninsula in south west Glamorgan. Either Henry or his barons built more castles at Penrhys, Llanrhidian and Swansea, Oystermouth and Loughor, but little remains today besides a mound and keep.
     Henry was by disposition quiet and retiring, and was overshadowed by his elder brother Robert de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Leicester, reputedly one of the most brilliant men in England. Odericus recorded that "he earned this honor by his valor and loyalty" and Wace writes he was "a brave man".
     Henry retired to the Abbey at Preaux as a monk, where the eighteenth century woodcut of his tomb, and that of his father and brother, can still be seen.

; Per Wikipedia:
     "Henry de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Warwick or Henry de Newburgh[1] (died 20 June 1119) was a Norman nobleman who rose to great prominence in the Kingdom of England.
Origins
     "Henry was a younger son of Roger de Beaumont by Adeline of Meulan,[2] daughter of Waleran III, Count of Meulan, and Oda de Conteville.
Early career
     "Henry was given by his father the modest lordship of Le Neubourg, in central Normandy, 12 km (7.5 mi) to the northeast of his father's caput of Beaumont-le-Roger on the River Risle. From this lordship he adopted for himself and his descendants the surname Anglicised to "de Newburgh", frequently Latinised to de Novo Burgo (meaning "from the new borough/town").
     "Henry was said, by Orderic Vitalis the Norman monk historian, to have been with William the Conqueror on his 1068 campaign in the Midlands when he was supposedly given charge of Warwick Castle, but there is no supporting evidence for this late source.[3] Little is in fact known of his career before 1088. However, he took a leading role in reconciling the Conqueror with his eldest son Robert Curthose in 1081, so he stood high in the Conqueror's favour. In 1088 he was a royal agent in the arrest and trial of the traitorous bishop of Durham, William de Saint-Calais.
Under William II
     "Henry acquired a much greater land-holding in England when, in reward for help in suppressing the Rebellion of 1088, King William II made him Earl of Warwick in 1088.[2] The lands of the earldom were put together from several sources. The bulk was provided by the majority of the lands in Warwickshire and elsewhere recorded as those of his elder brother Robert, Count of Meulan in the Domesday Survey of 1086. He also received large royal estates in Rutland and the royal forest of Sutton, which became Sutton Chase. The complicated arrangement to endow his earldom is unprecedented, and must have been the result of a three way arrangement between his father, his brother and the king.
Under Henry I
     "Henry became the companion and friend of King Henry I, William II's successor. When a division took place among the barons who had gathered together in the aftermath of the king's sudden death in 1100 to choose a successor, it was mainly owing to de Beaumont's advice that Henry, the conqueror's fourth son, was selected. However, in the following year most of the barons were openly or secretly disloyal and favoured the attempt of Henry's elder brother Robert Curthose, now Duke of Normandy, to gain the Crown. Henry de Beaumont and his brother Robert, King Henry's foremost advisors,[4] were among the few that remained faithful to the King.
     "Henry acquired the Lordship of Gower in Wales around 1107 from the favour of King Henry and built a castle at Swansea, which was unsuccessfully attacked by the Welsh in 1113; he also captured the Gower Peninsula in south west Glamorgan. He or his barons built other castles at Penrhys, Llanrhidian and Swansea in 1120, together with the others at Oystermouth and Loughor, the only remains of the latter are a mound and a keep.[5][6][6]
Marriage and offspring
     "Before 1100 Henry married Margaret (died after 1156), daughter of Geoffrey II of Perche and Beatrix of Montdidier, daughter of Hilduin IV, Count of Montdidier.[2] They had two daughters and the following sons:
Death and legacy
     "Henry entered the Abbey of Saint-Pierre de Préaux before his death and died as a monk there on 20 June 1119. An eighteenth-century woodcut of his tomb in the chapter house, with those of his brother and father beside him, survives, though the abbey is long ruined.

     "Henry was probably born about 1048, the son of Roger 'Barbatus' de Beaumont, sire de Beaumont et de Pont-Audemer, and Adeline de Meulan. In 1068 when William the Conqueror built Warwick Castle he made Henry its constable. Henry is recorded attesting a royal charter at Le Mans in 1073. In 1077 he was with the king at Caen; and in 1079 he was one of the nobles at Rouen who tried to reconcile the king and his eldest son.
     "He was with William in Normandy in 1080 and 1082; and he was again in Normandy in 1086. Almost at the end of William's reign he was with the king at Westminster. In 1088 he supported William's son and successor William II Rufus against the rebels, and in the same year Henry was created earl of Warwick. To support the earldom the king gave him the lands of an English noble, Turchil of Arden, who had still held large estates in 1086. Probably in 1088 he witnessed, as earl, a charter of Robert Curthose, duke of Normandy.
     "On his father's death in 1094 he succeeded to the Norman barony of Annebecq. He was probably in the royal hunting party when William Rufus was killed in the New Forest on 2 August 1100. He was present the next day when the nobles met at Winchester to choose the king's successor, and he took a leading part in the election of Henry I. Immediately after the coronation at Winchester on 5 August 1100, Warwick witnessed Henry's charter of liberties.
     "He remained loyal to Henry for the rest of his life and often attested royal charters. He founded a priory of Austin canons at Warwick and was a benefactor of Mary's Church there and of the abbeys of Préaux in Normandy and St.Taurin in Evreux. Henry and his wife Marguerite du Perche, daughter of Geoffrey II, comte du Perche et Mortagne, and Beatrice de Montdidier, had two sons who would both have progeny. He died in 1119, probably on 20 August, and was buried at Préaux Abbey."⁴

Orderic Vitalis records that William I King of England constructed “castrum apud Guarevicum” [Warwick] and entrusted it to “Henrico Rogerii de Bellomonte filio”, dated to 1068[1281]. "…Rotgerius de Bello monte, Hainricus filius eius…" witnessed the charter dated to [1073] under which William I King of England confirmed the donation by "Nielli filii alterius Nielli" made by "suus pater" of six churches on Guernsey to the abbey of Marmoutier[1282]. “Rogerius et filii mei Robertus et Henricus” donated “decimam tocius Brotonie” to Saint-Wandrille by charter dated 13 Jan 1086[1283]. After supporting William II King of England against the rebellion of 1088, the king created him Earl of Warwick in [Jul/Dec] 1088. Orderic Vitalis names “Rodbertum et Henricum” as the heirs of “Rogerius...de Bellomonte”, adding that Henry was granted “comitatum de Guarewico”[1284]. "Rogerus de Bellomonte" founded la Sainte-Trinité de Beaumont-le-Roger, with the consent of "liberis meis Roberto comite Mellentensi et Henrico comite de Warwic", by charter dated [1088/89][1285]. He opposed the invasion of England by Robert Duke of Normandy in Jun 1101, and remained loyal to Henry I King of England throughout his life[1286]. "…Henrici comitis…" subscribed a charter dated 14 Sep 1101 under which Henry I King of England donated property to Bath St Peter[1287]. “Henricus…Warwicense consul et Margareta uxor mea et Rogerus noster filius” donated property to Warwick St Mary by undated charter[1288].

She accompanied her husband to Palestine[239].

     “
He married Ela of Burgundy (daughter of Eudes Borel, Duke of Burgundy, by Maud, sister of William Testard, Count of Burgundy), widow of Bertrand, Count of Toulouse.
On 4 March 1105/6 He and his father confirmed to the Abbey of Marmontier all their possessions in Ponthieu and elsewhere, without using the title of Count, but in 1110 or 111 as Count of Ponthieu he made a gift to the Abbey of Cluny. In June 1119 Henry I restored to him his father's lands in Normandy. He resigned Ponthieu to his son Guy about 1126, certainly before 17 Oct. 1129, but retained the title. When Henry I confiscated his Norman lands in 1135, William Talvas joined Geoffrey Plantagenet.
His nickname, "Talvas," was given to him by Orderic and Robert de Torigny; but he did not use it. His ancestor of the first house of Bellême had used the nickname earlier, and his great-grandson, William II, Count of Ponthieu, used it later.

He succeeded his father [4 Mar 1106/1110][616] as Comte de Ponthieu. "Wilelmus comes Pontivi" confirmed the donation of the church of Saint-Léonard de Bellême to Marmoutier by charter dated to [1112/14][617]. Henry I King of England restored Comte Guillaume to his father's lands in Normandy in Jun 1119[618]. He resigned Ponthieu [before 1129] in favour of his son Guy: Guillaume of Jumièges records that ”Willelmum Talavatium” married “Ala...quæ fuerat antea uxor ducis Burgundiæ” [incorrect], and had “duos filios et totidem filias” of whom “filiorum primogenitus Wido” was made “patre vivente...comes Pontivi”[619]. "Gulielmus comes Pontivorum" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte for the souls of "his predecessors earl Roger and Mabel his wife, count Guy and Adda his wife, his father Robert de Belesmo and his mother Agnes and…Ela his wife and of their sons two of them called Robert and two William and two Enguerrand and Mabel his daughter" by charter dated 1127[620]. Robert of Torigny records that Henry II King of England granted "castrum Alenceium et Rocam Mabiriæ" to "Willermus Talavacius comes Sagiensis et filius eius Johannes et iterum Johannes nepos eius filius Guidonis primogeniti sui comitis Pontivi" in 1166[621]. Robert of Torigny records the death in 1171 of "Guillermus Talavercius comes Pontivi" and the succession of "Johannes nepos suus…ex Guidone primogenito suo"[622].

The necrology of the monastery of Ouche records the death "30 Jun" of "Willelmus comes Talevat"[624].
     "[m firstly ---. The name of Guillaume’s supposed first wife is not known. This first marriage is strongly suggested by the marriage date of Guillaume’s daughter Clémence. She is named in Jul 1128 with her son "Gaufrido primogenito" (see below). The addition of the word "primogenito" suggests that there was at least one other younger child at that date. This would place her marriage in late 1125 at the very latest. It is extremely unlikely, therefore, that she could have born from Guillaume’s marriage to Hélie de Bourgogne, the death of whose first husband is recorded in late Apr 1112. The other indication is the unlikelihood that Hélie de Bourgogne could have had eleven children by her second husband, considering her own estimated birth date.]

She is named by Orderic Vitalis, who also records her parentage, her two marriages and the names of her eldest sons by each marriage[625]. The contract of marriage between "Bertrandus Raimundi filius" and "Electæ" is dated Jun 1095[626]. If this document is correctly dated, it is unlikely that Hélie was born much later than [1080/83].

     "BERTRAND de Toulouse, son of RAYMOND IV "de Saint-Gilles" Comte de Toulouse & his first wife --- [de Provence] ([1065]-in Palestine 21 Apr 1112). William of Tyre names him as son of Comte Raymond IV[9]. Caffaro names "Beltramo Çauata…bastardus comitis Raymundi comitis sancti Egidii" when recording that he captured Tripoli[10]. He was regent for his father in Toulouse from Oct 1096, when the latter left for Palestine. He succeeded his father in 1105 as BERTRAND Comte de Toulouse. A series of bulls of Pope Pascal II dated between 15 Apr 1105 and 14 May 1108 reveal that "Bertrannus comes" failed to respect his father's abandonment of rights concerning the altar offerings at the monastery of Saint-Gilles, that he was excommunicated, recanted but attacked the monastery again[11]. After the arrival in Toulouse of his step-mother and infant half-brother, Bertrand left for Palestine in Summer 1108, and swore fidelity to Emperor Alexis I Comnenos at Constantinople. Albert of Aix records that "Bertrannus filius comitis Reimundi" arrived in Tortosa in March, dated to 1109 from the context, and demanded the territories formerly held by his father from Guillem Jordan Comte de Cerdanya[12]. At a council of crusader rulers outside Tripoli in Jun 1109, it was decided that Bertrand should receive Jebail, and Tripoli once it was captured, under the suzerainty of Baudouin I King of Jerusalem, while Guillem Jordan retained Tortosa and Arqa. On the death of either, the other would inherit his lands[13]. Bar Hebræus records that Tripoli was captured "par les Francs" in A.H. 503 (1109/10)[14]. Tripoli finally surrendered 12 Jul 1109, and he was installed as BERTRAND Count of Tripoli, under the suzerainty of the king of Jerusalem. Jebail was given to Ugo Embriaco, the Genoese admiral who had helped Bertrand[15]. Comte Bertrand inherited Tortosa and Arqa on the death of Guillem Jordan shortly after[16]. "Bertrandus…comes Raimundi Sancti Egidii filius" donated property for the soul of "Guillelmi Iordanis consanguinei mei" to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem with the consent of "Poncio filio suo", by undated charter[17].

The contract of marriage between "Bertrandus Raimundi filius" and "Electæ" is dated Jun 1095[19]. If this document is correctly dated, it is unlikely that Hélie was born much later than [1080/83]. “Bertrannus comes et uxor eius Adelaitz” relinquished claims to “monasterio Sancte Marie quod dicitur Monoasca” in favour of “[abbas] Beati Egidii”, in the presence of "Raimundo comite", by charter dated to "1096 after 12 Jul" in the compilation, signed by "Raimundi comitis, Bertranni et uxoris eius…Petri de Castlar, Ademarii vicecomitis…"[20]. The date does not appear in the document as reproduced, and the basis for the dating is unclear. If the date is correct, Bertrand was already married to Hélie de Bourgogne and "Adelaitz" must be a transcription or other error. If the dating is incorrect, it is possible that Adelais was an earlier wife of Count Bertrand. A bull of Pope Pascal II dated 4 Feb 1107 names "Bertrannus comes" and comments that he had been "propter uxorem abiectam et multiplicata adulteria iamdiu excommunicationi subiectus"[21]. The document gives no more details of these charges, which from the context appear to have been brought some time before the date of the bull, whose main purpose was a threat of further excommunication against Bertrand for having attacked the monastery of Saint-Gilles.

     “Guillaume was born about 1095, the son of Robert de Bellême, 3rd earl of Shropshire and of Shrewsbury, and Agnès de Ponthieu. About 1115 he married Hélie de Bourgogne, widow of Bertrand de Saint Gilles, comte de Toulouse, Count of Tripolis, and daughter of Eudes I, duc de Bourgogne, and Sibylle de Bourgogne. They had five children of whom two sons and two daughters would have progeny.
     “Guillaume assumed the county of Ponthieu some time before 1111, upon the death of his mother. His father escaped capture at the battle of Tinchebrai in 1106. In 1112, as envoy for King Louis of France, he went to the English court. However he was arrested by King Henry I over past conspiracies to depose Henry and to free Henry's brother Robert Curthose, duke of Normandy, and he was never released from prison. Guillaume was driven by this to oppose Henry, who seized certain of Guillaume's castles in Normandy.

     “
He married Ela of Burgundy (daughter of Eudes Borel, Duke of Burgundy, by Maud, sister of William Testard, Count of Burgundy), widow of Bertrand, Count of Toulouse.
On 4 March 1105/6 He and his father confirmed to the Abbey of Marmontier all their possessions in Ponthieu and elsewhere, without using the title of Count, but in 1110 or 111 as Count of Ponthieu he made a gift to the Abbey of Cluny. In June 1119 Henry I restored to him his father's lands in Normandy. He resigned Ponthieu to his son Guy about 1126, certainly before 17 Oct. 1129, but retained the title. When Henry I confiscated his Norman lands in 1135, William Talvas joined Geoffrey Plantagenet.
His nickname, "Talvas," was given to him by Orderic and Robert de Torigny; but he did not use it. His ancestor of the first house of Bellême had used the nickname earlier, and his great-grandson, William II, Count of Ponthieu, used it later.

; Per Wikipedia:
     "Richard fitz Gilbert (before 1035–c.?1090) was a Norman lord who participated in the Norman conquest of England in 1066, and was styled "de Bienfaite", "de Clare", and of "Tonbridge"[n 1][1] from his holdings.[2][3]
Biography
     "He was the son of Gilbert, Count of Brionne in Normandy[2] (fitz was a variant spelling of filz > French fils, that means "son"). Gilbert was a guardian of the young duke William and when he was killed by Ralph de Wacy in 1040, his two older sons Richard and Gilbert fled to Flanders.[4] On his later return to Normandy Richard was rewarded with the lordship of Bienfaite and Orbec in Normandy.[4] In 1066, Richard came into England with his kinsman William the Conqueror, and received from him great advancement in honour and possessions.[2]
     "The Dictionary of National Biography and other sources are vague and sometimes contradictory about when the name de Clare came into common usage, but what we do know is that Richard fitz Gilbert (of Tonbridge), the earliest identifiable progenitor of the family, is once referred to as Richard of Clare in the Suffolk return of the Domesday Book.[5]
Rewards
     "He was rewarded with 176 lordships and large grants of land in England, including the right to build the castles of Clare and of Tonbridge. Richard fitz Gilbert received the lordship of Clare, in Suffolk, where parts of the wall of Clare Castle still stand.[6] He was thus Lord of Clare. Some contemporaneous and later sources called him Earl of Clare, though many modern sources view the title as a "styled title".
     "He served as Joint Chief Justiciar in William's absence, and played a major part in suppressing the revolt of 1075.
Rebel baron
     "On the Conqueror's death, Richard and other great Norman barons, including Odo of Bayeux, Robert, Count of Mortain, and Geoffrey of Coutances, led a rebellion against the rule of William Rufus in order to place Robert Curthose on the throne. However, most Normans in England remained loyal. William Rufus and his army successfully attacked the rebel strongholds at Tonbridge, Pevensey and Rochester.[7]
Death and succession
     "He was buried in St. Neot's Priory in 1091. His widow was still living in 1113. His lands were inherited by his son, Gilbert fitz Richard.
Marriage
     "Richard married Rohese Giffard, daughter of Walter Giffard, Lord of Longueville and Agnes Flaitel,[3] and they had at least the following children:

; Per Wikipedia:
     "Rohese Giffard (sometimes Rose,[1] or Rohais;[2] died after 1113) was a Norman noblewoman in the late 11th and early 12th century.
Early life
     "Giffard was the daughter of Walter Giffard. Her maternal grandfather was Gerard Fleitel.[3] Walter Giffard was the lord of Longueville-sur-Scie in upper Normandy.[2]
Marriage
     "Giffard was the wife of Richard fitzGilbert, the son of Gilbert, Count of Brionne.[3] Domesday Book records him as the eighth richest landowner in England, with lands centered on two locations – lands in Kent and Surrey grouped around Tonbridge and lands in Essex and Suffolk grouped around Clare.[2] Their children were Roger, Gilbert, Walter, Robert, Richard,[4] Godfrey,[2] Rohese (or Rohais), and Adelisa.[4]
     "Roger received the Norman lands after Richard fitzGilbert's death, Gilbert received his father's English lands, Walter was given a Welsh lordship by King Henry I of England, and Robert was given lands around London by King Henry I.[2] Richard became a monk at Bec Abbey and was later abbot of Ely Abbey.[4] The last son, Godfrey, is known only from his burial at Clare.[2] Rohais married Eudo Dapifer and Adelisa married Walter Tirel.[4] A daughter of Richard, who is unnamed, is said to have married Ralph de Fougères, but it is not known whether this refers to another marriage for either Rohais or Adelisa or if this is a third daughter. Some of the children were born before 1066, as a gift to Jumièges Abbey in 1066 mentions the souls of their children.[2]
Landowner
     "Giffard occurs in Domesday Book as a landowner in her own right.[3] Richard died between 1085 and 1087, as his son Gilbert witnesses a charter of King William II of England in that year. Rohese survived him and was still alive in 1113, when she gave a gift to St Neot's Priory which had been founded as a dependent priory of Bec on Rohese's own manor of Eynesbury.[2] Rohese's descendants eventually were the heirs to the lands held by her father,[5] receiving half the honour of Long Crendon in Buckinghamshire in the reign of King Richard I of England (r. 1189–1199).[1]

     “Mary was born about 1082, the younger daughter, youngest of eight children of Malcolm III Canmore, king of Scots, and his second wife Margaret of Wessex.
     “In 1086 when Mary was about four years old, she and her sister Edith were sent by their parents to Romsey, where their maternal aunt Christina was abbess. The two girls spent their early life at the convent, where they received their education.
     “Mary left the convent in 1096. In 1100 Edith married Henry I, king of England, and after her marriage changed her first name to Matilda, in honour to her mother-in-law. Matilda wanted Mary also to marry, so Henry I married her in 1102 to Eustace III, comte de Boulogne et de Lens, son of Eustace II, comte de Boulogne, and Ida de Lorraine. The marriage lasted for fourteen years but only produced a daughter Matilda, who became countess of Boulogne after the death of her father. She would marry Stephen de Blois, king of England, and have progeny.
     “Mary died in 1116, nine years before her husband.”.⁷

     "EUSTACHE [III] de Boulogne (-1125 or after). His parentage is specified in his donation to Saint-Bertin dated 1122, for the souls of "Eustacii comitis patris mei et Yde matris mee comitisse"[472]. He is not named as one of her sons by "Ida comitisse Boloniensis" in the latter's charter for the soul of her husband[473]. William of Tyre records him as brother of Godefroi and Baudouin, naming him last of the three[474]. It is not known whether this indicates that he was the youngest of the three brothers, or was simply a reflection of his less significant role in affairs in Palestine. His inheritance of the paternal possessions and titles suggests that he was the oldest brother, at any rate older than his brother Baudouin. He succeeded as Comte de Boulogne, Comte de Lens. This would normally be an indication of his seniority in the family. However, given the superior position of his brother Godefroi as Duke of Lower Lotharingia, it may have been decided that the less important paternal inheritance would pass to a younger son. He was a member of the company of Robert II Count of Flanders on the First Crusade, joining his brothers after arriving in Constantinople in 1097[475]. Albert of Aix records the arrival in Constantinople of "Robertus Normannorum comes, Stephanus Blesensis, Eustachius frater prædicti Ducis", dated to early 1097 from the context[476]. In Palestine in 1099, he returned to Boulogne soon after. "Eustacius Bolonie comes" confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Samer by charter dated Jul 1112, subscribed by "Cononis de Fieules, Eustacii et Rogerii filiorum eius…"[477]. Albert of Aix records that Baudouin appointed "fratri Eustachio" as his successor on his deathbed if he would come to Jerusalem, or if he failed to come "Baldewinus de Burg"[478]. A legation left Jerusalem for Boulogne in Apr 1118 to invite him to succeed. Eustache left Boulogne for Jerusalem, but when he reached Apulia he received news that Baudouin du Bourg had been chosen as king. He refused to press his claim further, and retired to the Cluniac monastery at Rumilly in [1125]. "Eustachius olim comes Boloniensis nunc autem…monachus Cluniacensis" donated property to Cluny by charter dated 1125 which names "Maria uxore mea…[et] Mathildi filia mea", and is subscribed by "Stephani comitis Bolonie, Matildis comitisse"[479].

Son of Henry I, King of the Franks and Anne of Kiev, Grandson of Robert II, King of the Franks and Constance or Arles, Yaroslav I the Wise, Grand Prince of Kiev and Ingegerd Olofsdotter of Sweden.
     Philip was the husband of Bertha, the daughter of Floris I, Count of Holland and Gertrude of Saxony, daughter of Bernard II, Duke of Saxony. They married in 1072 and produced five children:
     Philip repudiated Bertha based on the fact she was too fat, and married a lady he had fallen in love with, Bertrade de Montfort, the daughter of Simon I de Montfort and Agnes, Countess of Evreux, and the wife of Count Fulk IV of Anjou. They were married 15 May 1092, even though they both had living spouses, and had three children:
     Despite being French, a Frank, and a Capetian line dating back to the Carolingians, Philip's mother chose a Greek name for her son. Phillip, as his ancestors, ruled for an unusual length of time for his era. Philip's father died in 1060 when Philip was still a youth, and crowned at the age of seven. His mother acted as regent as the first Frankish queen, until he was fourteen. Baldwin VI of Flanders assisted her in her duties until he died in 1070, at which point Flanders was taken by Robert Frisian. Baldwin's wife received help from Philip who defeated Robert at the Battle of Cassel in 1071. Philip was excommunicated in 1094 by Hugh, the Archbishop of Lyon, and again by Pope Urban II in 1095 for his second marriage. Phillip made peace with William the Conqueror in 1077, allowing Phillip to annex Vexin, and take Bourges in 1100. When the role started for the First Crusade, Phillip refrained due to his conflicts with the pope over his wife, and sent his brother, Hugh of Vermandois in his stead. Phillip died at the castle of Meulan, and her his request, was buried at the monastery of Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire – instead of at St Denis with his ancestors. Phillip was succeeded by his son, Louis VI, but not without other contestants.
     Historian Abbot Suger wrote the following regarding Phillip's last days. "King Philip daily grew feebler. For after he had abducted the Countess of Anjou, he could achieve nothing worthy of the royal dignity; consumed by desire for the lady he had seized, he gave himself up entirely to the satisfaction of his passion. So he lost interest in the affairs of state and, relaxing too much, took no care for his body, well-made and handsome though it was. The only thing that maintained the strength of the state was the fear and love felt for his son and successor. When he was almost sixty, he ceased to be king, breathing his last breath at the castle of Melun-sur-Seine, in the presence of the [future king] Louis... They carried the body in a great procession to the noble monastery of St-Benoît-sur-Loire, where King Philip wished to be buried; there are those who say they heard from his own mouth that he deliberately chose not to be buried among his royal ancestors in the church of St. Denis because he had not treated that church as well as they had, and because among so many noble kings his own tomb would not have counted for much."

     “Philippe was the son of Henri I, king of France and Anna of Kiev. At age twenty, Philippe married Bertha of Holland, the stepdaughter of his first cousin, the count of Flanders. This marriage had been arranged to seal the reconciliation between the king and his first cousin. After six years Bertha had a daughter Constance, who was not the hoped for heir. Arnoul, a holy hermit of Saint-Médard in Soissons who was always consulted on family problems, prayed for them; however, it took another three years before the heir, the future King Louis VI, was born. Three more sons followed him.
     “Twenty years after the marriage, Philippe imprisoned Bertha in comfort in the château at Montreuil-sur-Mer. He then wed the still married Bertrade de Montfort l'Amauri, wife of the count of Anjou, and they produced four children. It is lost in time whether she seduced him or he her, but most likely Philippe had an understanding with the count of Anjou. In any case Bertrade was more than willing, as she did not want to be 'sent away like a whore', as her husband had done to her predecessors.
     “Philippe's remarriage caused a sensation but not disapproval. The only one who caused problems was Yves, bishop of Chartres, who had been appointed by Pope Urban II without consultation, which had been resented by Philippe.
     “The king invited all bishops to his second wedding but Yves declined, referring to Philippe as committing bigamy. Although Philippe had married with the blessing of the archbishop of Reims as well as the Papal legate, Yves wrote to the pope who then forbade the bishops to crown Bertrade and told Philippe to cease all relations with her or be excommunicated.
     “When his first wife Bertha died, Philippe gathered two archbishops and eight bishops in Reims who all confirmed the royal second marriage. The pope also put pressure on the womanising count of Anjou who then obediently complained about the king committing adultery with his wife. In 1096 Philippe pretended to have broken with Bertrade and his excommunication was lifted.
     “When it became obvious in 1099 that Bertrade was still with Philippe, the excommunication was renewed. It took until 1105 before peace was restored, and from then Philippe and Bertrade remained together until Philippe died in 1108.”.⁷ GAV-24 EDV-24 GKJ-26.

     “Daughter of Floris I, count of Holland and Gertrud of Saxony, Bertha was born in 1055. After her father died in 1061, her mother married Robert I 'the Friesian', Graaf van Vlaanderen. In 1072 her stepfather concluded a peace treaty with Philippe I, king of France. As part of its terms Bertha was married to Philippe that year. Nine years passed before Bertha produced the desired son and heir, Louis (the future King Louis VI). Reportedly her fertility was only restored thanks to the prayers of a hermit, Arnoul, who also named the child. Berthe and Philippe had three more sons, but only Louis and their first-born Constance would have progeny.
     “In 1092 Philippe repudiated Bertha, alleging that she was too fat. He confined her in great comfort in the fortress of Montreuil-sur-Mer, and married Bertrade de Montfort-l'Amaury, still married to Foulques IV 'Rechin', comte d'Anjou. Bertha died in 1093.

     "Adelaide of Savoy (or Adelaide of Maurienne) (Italian: Adelaide di Savoia or Adelasia di Moriana, French: Adélaïde or Alix or Adèle de Maurienne)[1] (1092 – 18 November 1154) was, by birth, a member of the House of Savoy. She was the second spouse, but first queen consort, of Louis VI of France (1115-1137). After Louis' death, Adelaide was married to Matthew I of Montmorency.
Family
     "Adelaide was the daughter of Humbert II of Savoy and Gisela of Burgundy, daughter of William I of Burgundy.[2] Adelaide's older brother, Amadeus III of Savoy succeeded their father as count of Savoy in 1103.[3] Adelaide had the same name as her paternal great-grandmother Adelaide of Turin, ruler of the mark of Turin, and her second cousin, Adelaide del Vasto, queen of Jerusalem.[4] Through her father, Adelaide was also related to the German emperor, Henry V. On her mother's side, Adelaide's relatives included: her uncle, Pope Callixtus II, who visited Adelaide at court in France, and her first cousin, Alfonso VII of León and Castile.[5]
Queen of France
     "Adelaide became the second wife of Louis VI of France, whom she married on 3 August 1115 in Paris, France.[6] They had nine children, the second of whom became Louis VII of France.
     "Adelaide was one of the most politically active of all France's medieval queens.[7] Her name appears on 45 royal charters from the reign of Louis VI.[8] During her tenure as queen, royal charters were dated with both her regnal year and that of the king.[9] Among many other religious benefactions, she and Louis founded the monastery of St Peter's (Ste Pierre) at Montmartre, in the northern suburbs of Paris.[10]
Queen dowager and second marriage
     "After Louis VI's death, Adelaide did not immediately retire to conventual life, as did most widowed queens of the time. Instead she married Matthieu I of Montmorency,[11] with whom she had one child. She remained active in the French court and in religious activities.
Death
     "In 1153 she retired to the abbey of Montmartre, which she had founded with Louis VII. She died there on 18 November 1154.[11] She was buried in the cemetery of the Church of St. Pierre at Montmartre. The abbey was destroyed during the French Revolution, but Adelaide's tomb is still visible in the church of St Pierre.[12]
Seventeenth century legend
Adelaide is one of two queens in a legend related in the seventeenth century by William Dugdale. As the story goes, Queen Adélaide of France became enamoured of a young knight, William d'Albini, at a joust. But he was already engaged to Adeliza of Louvain and refused to become her lover. The jealous Adélaide lured him into the clutches of a hungry lion, but William ripped out the beast's tongue with his bare hands and thus killed it. This story is almost without a doubt apocryphal.[13]
Issue
     "Louis and Adelaide had seven sons and two daughters:
     "With Matthieu I of Montmorency, Adelaide had one daughter:

     "Louis was born in 1120, the son of Louis VI 'the Fat', king of France, and Adèle of Savoie. In 1131, at the age of eleven, he was anointed as his father's successor; and when his father died in 1137 he became sole ruler of France. In the same year he married Eleanore de Poitou, duchess of Aquitaine, so extending the Capetingian lands to the Pyrenees. Louis and Eleanore had three children of whom a son was still born and two daughters would have progeny.
     "He continued his father's program of appointing trustworthy people of lower origin to the administration of his government, so improving the prestige of the monarchy. From 1141 to 1143 he was involved in a fruitless conflict with Thibaut, count of Champagne, and with the papacy. After this period his relations with the popes improved to such an extent that he supported Pope Alexander II against Emperor Friedrich I Barbarossa and even allowed the pope refuge in France.
     "In 1163 the construction began of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris. It would take until 1235 before it was finished.
     "The main threats to his kingdom came from Geoffrey, count of Anjou, and later from Geoffrey's son, the future Henry II, king of England. When Louis VII went on crusade he took his wife with him. However, on their return he divorced her, the grounds officially being consanguinity, but the reasons were her rumoured affairs. Almost immediately she married King Henry II of England, taking Aquitaine with her. Louis VII then married Constance of Castile, with whom he had two daughters of whom Alix would have progeny. When Constance died he married Alix de Champagne who became the mother of his son and heir, the future King Philippe II August.
     "Louis VII might have defeated King Henry II had he made a concerted attack instead of the half-hearted attacks on Normandy; at the same time France was spared attacks from the Anglo-Normans because of their internal quarrels. Louis also benefited from the long-standing quarrel between Henry II and Thomas à Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, and from a revolt by Henry's sons."⁷

The king assembled his army at Metz 15 Jun 1147 and arrived in Constantinople 4 Oct 1147. He left the government of France in the hands of Suger Abbé de Saint-Denis, his brother Henri Archbishop of Reims and his cousin Raoul Comte de Vermandois. Although the crusade failed in its aim of capturing Damascus end-Jul 1148, Louis VII gained prestige as the first western king to lead a crusading army. After leaving Palestine in Summer 1149, he landed in Calabria where he discussed launching a new crusade with Roger II King of Sicily and Pope Eugenius III aimed at taking vengeance on Byzantium, but the scheme was later dropped for lack of support from Konrad III King of Germany who had entered an alliance with Emperor Manuel I[430].

     "LOUIS VII (the Young). Pious and therefore popular with the clergy. He remained under the influence of Suger until the latter's death in 1151. A papal interdict on the royal lands, resulting from Louis's insistence on his feudal rights, led to intervention by Bernard of Clairvaux.
     "1147: Louis inspired the Second Crusade. He induced the German king, Conrad III, and Bernard of Clairvaux to join him, and, leaving the kingdom in the hands of Suger, he set out for the east. He returned (1149) beaten, humiliated, and estranged from his wife, Eleanor, who had accompanied him. The marriage was annulled (1152), probably due to lack of a male heir. This step cost the Capetians the territories of Poitou, Guienne, and Gascony, for Eleanor at once married Henry, duke of Normandy, who in 1151 had succeeded his father as count of Anjou, Maine, and Touraine. The acquisition of Eleanor's domains made Henry master of more than half of France and put him in a position to bring pressure on the holdings of the king of France both from the north and the south. When Henry in 1154 became king of England, the so-called Angevin Empire extended roughly from the Tweed to the Pyrenees.
     "1147-1149: The Second Crusade. Bernard of Clairvaux, persuaded by Pope Eugenius III, preached (1145) the Second Crusade. Conrad III and King Louis VII of France took the Cross. To avoid conflicts, the two monarchs went by separate routes; there never was coherent direction or unity of command. The Norman Roger of Sicily took advantage of the Second Crusade to seize the Greek islands and to attack Athens, Thebes, and Corinth. Nothing of importance was achieved by the Second Crusade, and the movement was discredited throughout Europe.
     "1165-1170: Louis supported Thomas Becket [>] against Henry II of England and was saved from Henry's wrath only through the mediation of the pope, Alexander III, a refugee in France against whom the Emperor Frederick had raised an antipope. It was in Louis's interest to support the anti-imperial party, because of the emperor's pressure upon Burgundy."²⁶ He was Duc d'Aquitaine between 25 July 1137 and 21 March 1152.^11,12,24 He was King of the Franks between 1 August 1137 and 18 September 1180.^{27,2,5,3,12,24}

      ; Per Genealogics:
     “Robert was born about 1123, the fifth son of Louis VI 'the Fat', king of France, and his second wife Adèle de Savoie. In 1137 he received the county of Dreux as an appanage from his father. He held it until 1184 when he granted it to his son Robert II.
     “In 1139 Robert married Agnès de Garlande, widow of Amaury III de Montfort, comte d'Evreux, sire de Montfort, and the daughter of Anceau de Garlande, comte de Rochefort, and a lady of the Rochefort-en-Yvelines family. They had a son Simon who died in childhood. Agnès died in 1143, and about 1144 Robert married Havise de Salisbury, daughter of Walter FitzEdward and Sibyl de Chaorces. Their daughter Adèle would have progeny by each of her four husbands. Havise died in 1152, and soon after Robert married Agnès de Baudement, dame de Braine, de Fère-en-Tardenois, de Nesle, daughter of Gui de Baudement, seigneur de Baudement, and his wife Alix. They had ten children of whom Robert II and two daughters would have progeny. He adopted the arms of his wife, and received the county of Braine-sur-Vesle and the lordships of Fère-en-Tardenois, Pontarcy, Nesle, Longueville, Quincy-en-Tardenois, Savigny, and Baudemont.
     “With his brother Louis VII, king of France, Robert participated in the Second Crusade in 1147 and was at the Siege of Damascus in 1148. Before the end of the crusade he returned to France and mounted a conspiracy against his brother the king, in the hope of gaining power. However his actions were successfully countered by Abbé Suger of Saint-Denis, who ensured the preservation of the regency in the absence of the king.
     “In 1158 Robert fought against the English and in 1154 he participated in the siege of Séez in Normandy. In 1180 he granted a communal charter to the town of Dreux, and he founded the town of Brie-Comte-Robert which carries his name. He died in 1188, and was buried in the church of Saint-Yved de Braine.”.⁴

     "ROBERT de France, son of LOUIS VI King of France & his wife Adélaïde de Maurienne [Savoie] ([1124/26]-Braine [10/12] Oct 1188, bur Braine, église abbatiale de Saint-Ived). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "patruus regis Philippi, comes Robertus" when recording his marriages and children[15]. William of Tyre names him as brother of Louis VII King of France[16]. He left on the Second Crusade with his brother King Louis VII in Jun 1147[17]. Regent and Comte du Perche, by right of his second wife, during the minority of her sons. Seigneur de Braine 1152, by right of his third wife. In compensation for the loss of Perche, his brother Louis VII installed him as Seigneur de Dreux in 1152. "Robertus…comes Drocarum et Brane et…et uxor mea Agnes comitissa Brane" donated revenue from property "apud Qualliacum" to Paris Hôtel-Dieu, with the consent of "Roberti filii nostri", by charter dated 1178[18]. He resigned Dreux to his eldest son in 1184. The necrology of Chartres cathedral records the death "VI Id Oct" of "Robertus Drocensis comes frater Ludovici regis Francorum"[19]. The necrology of Orléans Cathedral records the death “IV Id Oct” of “Robertus comes”[20].
     "[Du Chesne suggests that Agnes de Garlande, widow of Amaury [III] de Montfort Comte d’Evreux, married, as her second husband and his first wife, Robert de France Seigneur de Dreux[21]. He bases this on a charter dated to [1 Nov 1183/31 Mar 1184] in which Philippe II King of France confirmed the property of Notre-Dame de Colombs, including property "in loco Campus à la Drouë" donated by "Robertus comes de Drocis et de Montfort" and "domum de là Nouë" donated by "Simon de Drocis in sua ultima voluntate"[22]. Du Chesne’s argument is that Robert Seigneur de Dreux could only have been entitled to "le titre de comte de Montfort, don’t le roy le rehausse" from "un mariage fait avec la douairiere de la mesme comté". He also suggests that "Simon de Drocis", also named in the same charter, was the son of this marriage. There are three difficulties with Du Chesne’s argument. Firstly, Amaury [III] de Montfort was comte d’Evreux not "comte de Montfort", a title which does not appear ever to have been borne by members of his family. Secondly, the chronology is unfavourable for the widow of Amaury [III], who was probably born in [1110/15] at the latest, to have married Robert de Dreux whose birth is estimated to [1124/26]. Thirdly, it is unlikely that Agnes would have given the name Simon to a son born from this supposed second marriage, given that she already had a son of that name by her marriage to Amaury. In conclusion, the evidence of the [1183/84] charter alone is insufficient to corroborate this marriage.]

The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to the first wife of "comitem de Brana Robertum domnum" as "matrem…comitis Rotroldi de Pertico, natam de Salesberia"[23]. Robert of Torigny records that "uxorem…suam [comitis Perticensis Rotrodi]" was later given by "Ludovicus rex Francorum [to] Roberto fratri suo"[24]. The necrology of Chartres cathedral records the death "Id Jan" of "Amicia comitissa Perticensis mater Rotrodi militis"[25], although if this entry correctly refers to Hawise it is surprising that there is no reference which would indicate her second marriage.

; Per Wikipedia:
     "Robert FitzRoy, 1st Earl of Gloucester (c. 1090 – 31 October 1147[1]) (alias Robert Rufus, Robert de Caen, Robert Consul[2][3]) was an illegitimate son of King Henry I of England. He was the half-brother of the Empress Matilda, and her chief military supporter during the civil war known as The Anarchy, in which she vied with Stephen of Blois for the throne of England.
Early life
     "Robert was probably the eldest of Henry's many illegitimate children.[1] He was born before his father's accession to the English throne, either during the reign of his grandfather William the Conqueror or his uncle William Rufus.[4] He is sometimes and erroneously designated as a son of Nest, daughter of Rhys ap Tewdwr, last king of Deheubarth, although his mother has been identified as a member of "the Gay or Gayt family of north Oxfordshire",[5] possibly a daughter of Rainald Gay (fl. 1086) of Hampton Gay and Northbrook Gay in Oxfordshire. Rainald had known issue Robert Gay of Hampton (died c. 1138) and Stephen Gay of Northbrook (died after 1154). A number of Oxfordshire women feature as the mothers of Robert's siblings.[5][6]
     "Robert may have been a native of Caen[1] or he may have been only Constable and Governor of that city, jure uxoris.[2]
     "Robert's father had contracted him in marriage to Mabel FitzHamon, daughter and heir of Robert Fitzhamon, but the marriage was not solemnized until June 1119 at Lisieux.[1][7] His wife brought him the substantial honours of Gloucester in England and Glamorgan in Wales, and the honours of Sainte-Scholasse-sur-Sarthe and Évrecy in Normandy, as well as Creully. After the White Ship disaster late in 1120, and probably because of this marriage,[8] in 1121 or 1122 his father created him Earl of Gloucester.[9]
Family
     "Robert and his wife Mabel FitzHamon married in 1114, and they had seven children:
     "***William FitzRobert (1116 – 1183): succeeded his father as 2nd Earl of Gloucester
     "***Roger FitzRobert (c. 1118 – 1179): Bishop of Worcester
     "***Hamon FitzRobert, knight (c. 1122 – 1159): killed at the siege of Toulouse.
     "***Richard FitzRobert, Lord of Creully (c. 1125 – 1175): succeeded his mother as Sire de Creully.
     "***Matilda FitzRobert (c. 1126 – 1189): married in 1143 Ranulf de Gernon, 4th Earl of Chester.
     "***Mabel FitzRobert: married Aubrey de Vere
     "***Philip FitzRobert, Lord of Cricklade (c. 1130 – 1148)
     "He also had four illegitimate children:
     "***Richard FitzRobert (died 1142): Bishop of Bayeux [mother: Isabel de Douvres, sister of Richard de Douvres, bishop of Bayeux (1107–1133)]
     "***Robert FitzRobert (died 1170): Castellan of Gloucester, married in 1147 Hawise de Reviers (daughter of Baldwin de Reviers, 1st Earl of Devon and his first wife Adelisa), had daughter Mabel FitzRobert (married firstly Jordan de Chambernon and secondly William de Soliers)
     "***Mabel FitzRobert: married Gruffud, Lord of Senghenydd, son of Ifor Bach.
     "***Thomas FitzRobert
Relationship with King Stephen
     "There is evidence in the contemporary source, the Gesta Stephani, that Robert was proposed by some as a candidate for the throne, but his illegitimacy ruled him out:
     "Among others came Robert, Earl of Gloucester, son of King Henry, but a bastard, a man of proved talent and admirable wisdom. When he was advised, as the story went, to claim the throne on his father's death, deterred by sounder advice he by no means assented, saying it was fairer to yield it to his sister's son (the future Henry II of England), than presumptuously to arrogate it to himself.
     "This suggestion cannot have led to any idea that he and Stephen were rivals for the Crown, as Geoffrey of Monmouth in 1136 referred to Robert as one of the 'pillars' of the new King's rule.
     "The capture of King Stephen at the Battle of Lincoln on 2 February 1141 gave the Empress Matilda the upper hand in her battle for the throne, but by alienating the citizens of London she failed to be crowned Queen. Her forces were defeated at the Rout of Winchester on 14 September 1141, and Robert of Gloucester was captured nearby at Stockbridge.
     "The two prisoners, King Stephen and Robert of Gloucester, were then exchanged, but by freeing Stephen, the Empress Matilda had given up her best chance of becoming queen. She later returned to France, where she died in 1167, though her son succeeded Stephen as King Henry II in 1154.
     "Robert of Gloucester died in 1147 at Bristol Castle, where he had previously imprisoned King Stephen, and was buried at St James' Priory, Bristol, which he had founded.
In popular culture
     "Robert of Gloucester is a figure in many of the novels by Ellis Peters in the Cadfael Chronicles (written between 1977 and 1994) where he is seen as a strong moderating force to his half-sister (see Saint Peter's Fair). His efforts to gain the crown for his sister by capturing King Stephen and her own actions in London are part of the plot in The Pilgrim of Hate. His capture by Stephen's wife Queen Mathilda is in the background of the plot of An Excellent Mystery. The exchange of the imprisoned Robert for the imprisoned Stephen is in the background of the plot of The Raven in the Foregate. Robert's travels to persuade his brother-in-law to aid Empress Maud militarily in England is in the background of the novel The Rose Rent. His return to England when Empress Maud is trapped in Oxford Castle figures in The Hermit of Eyton Forest. Robert's return to England with his young nephew Henry, years later the king succeeding Stephen, is in the background of the plot of The Confession of Brother Haluin, as the battles begin anew with Robert's military guidance. Robert's success in the Battle of Wilton (1143) leads to the death of a fictional character, part of the plot of The Potter's Field. In the last novel, he is a father who can disagree with then forgive his son Philip (see the last novel, Brother Cadfael's Penance). In that last novel, Brother Cadfael speculates on the possibly different path for England if the first son of old King Henry, the illegitimate Robert of Gloucester, had been recognised and accepted. In Wales of that era, a son was not illegitimate if recognized by his father, and to many in the novels, Robert of Gloucester seemed the best of the contenders to succeed his father.
     "Robert is also a central character in Sharon Penman's 1995 novel When Christ and His Saints Slept. He was also central in the struggle during The Anarchy as portrayed in Ken Follet's 1989 novel The Pillars of the Earth and in the 2010 mini-series of the same name.

     DEATH     16 Dec 1153 (aged 52–53), Chester, Cheshire West and Chester Unitary Authority, Cheshire, England
     Ranulph of Gernon, 4th Earl of Chester, son of Ranulph le Meschin, 1st 3rd Earl of Chester and Lucy of Bolingbroke. He was born about 1100 in Normandy, France at the Cheateau Guernon.
     Husband of Maud Fitz Robert, the daughter of Robert de Caen, the 1st Earl of Gloucester and the granddaughter of King Henry I of England. They married about about 1141 and had one surviving son, Hugh de Levelioc. Other possible children include Richard of Chester who died at the age of five, and a Beatrice who married Raoul de Malpas. Ranulph also had an illegitimate son, Robert FitzCount who died before 1166.
     Both parents were influential landowners, his father having created the Earl of Chester lineage. Ranulf succeeded to the title of Vicomte d'Avranches in Normandy about 1129, then succeeded to the title of 2nd Earl of Chester, and held the office of Constable of Lincoln in 1136 for King Stephen. He also founded an abbey in Wales for the monks from the Norman congregation of Savigny.
     When King David of Scotland invaded England during Stephen's reign, he took many parts of Cumberland, including lands once belonging to Ranulph's father. At the Treaty of Durham in 1139, Stephen gave David even more of Ranulph's family lands, Ranulph prepared a revolt to take back his lordship in the north. When Ranulph's plant to capture Matilda's son, Prince Henry, went awry, Ranulph turned to Lincoln Castle, aided by his and his brother's wives dressed in ordinary clothes, escorted by knights. They were able to seize the castle and expel the royal guards. Stephen gave Ranulph control of Lincolnshire and Derby, returned to London only to received pleas from the citizens to imprison the brothers based on the treatment the brothers imposed. Stephen returned to Lincoln with reinforcements, resulting in Ranulph's new fidelity to Empress Matilda and the Battle of Lincoln on 02 February 1141 when Stephen was deposed and Matilda ruled again until she exchanged Stephen and the crown for her brother, Robert. Ranulph was again on the wrong side of the crown.
     After the unsuccessful siege of Lincoln Castle, Ranulph switched his loyalties back to Stephen, leaving Ranulph to quarrel directly with King David of Scotland for his properties. Stephen was about to support Ranulph in a campaign against the Welsh when Stephen was warned by his advisors the Earl had planned a conspiracy against Stephen, who instead provoked Ranulph with the demand for all royal properties. Ranulph refused and was imprisoned, seized at court on 29 August 1146 at Northampton. Ranulph was finally released on the condition he would surrender the royal lands and promise to never resist Stephen again. When he was released, Ranulph immediately flew into a raged revolt, this time forcing the Clares of Hertford into the conflict.
     Ranulph met with Prince Henry and King David at Carlisle to plan an attack on York against Stephen's son, Eustace, which failed miserably. Eventually, Stephen lost control and soon to be King Henry II granted Staffordshire to Ranulph.
     Ranulph was poisoned while a guest in the home of William Peverell in Nottingham, along with three of his men. The men died immediately, Ranulph died an agonizing death late that year, leaving his lands to his son, Hugh. The lands Ranulph held when Stephen took command were honored while remaining lands were revoked. When young Henry became king, he exiled Peverell for the murder.
     It was rumored Ranulph's wife, Maud, had a hand in his murder, but nothing was ever proved. Ranulph did grant her a servant on his death bed, and she served as her minor son's guardian for nine years.

Ranulph 'de Gernon' de Meschines 2nd Earl of Chester was buried after 16 December 1153 at St. Werberg's, Chester, Cheshire, England.⁷
      ; Per Genealogics:
     “Ranulph was born about 1100 at Gernon Castle, Normandy, the son of Ranulph de Meschines, 1st earl of Chester, vicomte de Bayeux, and Lucia of Alkborough. He inherited the earldom of Chester on the death of his father in 1128 or 1129. About 1141 he married Maud of Gloucester, daughter of Robert de Caen, 1st earl of Gloucester, an illegitimate son of King Henry I, and Mabel FitzHamon. They had four children, of whom Hugh and Joanna would have progeny.
     “His father had held extensive lands in Cumberland, which he surrendered to Henry I upon receiving the earldom of Chester. Ranulph took the view that his father had been forced to give up these lands. This deeply compromised his relationship with Henry's successor Stephen de Blois, who in 1136 granted Doncaster and Carlisle to David I, king of Scots, the latter included much of Cumberland. In 1139 Stephen was even more generous, granting David's son Henry the earldom of Northumbria which included Carlisle, Cumberland, Westmoreland and Lancashire north of the river Ribble. This led Ranulph to revolt against Stephen in order to win back what he regarded as rightfully his.
     “Ranulph and his half-brother William de Roumare seized Stephen's Lincoln Castle. Stephen reached an accommodation with the brothers, not wishing to alienated Ranulph and push him into the camp of the Empress Matilda. Ranulph was rewarded with administrative and military powers over Lincolnshire and the town and castle of Derby.
     “Soon after, Stephen reneged on his agreement with Ranulph and in January 1141 he attacked Lincoln Castle. Ranulph escaped and appealed to his father-in-law Robert of Gloucester, on grounds that his wife Maud, Robert's daughter, was besieged in Lincoln. Robert was the key supporter of Empress Matilda, and in return for Robert's assistance, Ranulph pledged fidelity to the empress.
     “Robert and Ranulph joined forces and routed Stephen's army before Lincoln, and Stephen himself was captured, along with many of his magnates. Ranulph took the opportunity to capture the earl of Richmond's northern castles in the weeks after the battle.
     “In September 1141 Ranulph was with Empress Matilda at Winchester, where her force was besieging the town. Stephen's queen rushed to Winchester with her own army, led by William of Ypres, and surrounded the besieging force. Its commander Robert of Gloucester decided to fight his way out, but the battle was a disaster for the army of the empress. Robert was captured, but Ranulph escaped and fled back to Chester. Later that year Robert was exchanged for Stephen.
     “In 1145 Ranulph defected from the empress to Stephen, seeing an opportunity to recover his northern lands, as David, king of Scots was an ally of Stephen. However Ranulph's accommodation with Stephen was short lived; Ranulph was told that the king would not help him unless he restored all the property he had taken and delivered hostages for his future loyalty. Ranulph refused, on the basis that this had not been his understanding of his agreement with the king. He was arrested and imprisoned in chains, and was released only when he agreed to surrender all the royal lands and castles he had seized, including Lincoln, gave hostages and took an oath not to resist the king in future.
     “However Ranulph was furious at the king's failure to keep his word, and immediately revolted against him. He attempted unsuccessfully to recover the castles of Lincoln and Coventry.
     “In 1149 Ranulph resolved his territorial disputes with David of Scotland in Carlisle, reaching a compromise whereby the southern portion of the honour of Lancaster, the land between the Ribble and the Mersey, was conceded to Ranulph, who in return resigned his claim on Carlisle. A marriage was arranged between one of Ranulph's sons and one of David's granddaughters.
     “In the same year the young Prince Henry, trying to escape south after an aborted attack on York, was forced to avoid the ambushes of Eustace, King Stephen's son. Ranulph created a diversion to help Henry by attacking Lincoln. He was unable to take Lincoln, but he drew Stephen there, allowing Henry to escape.
     “Ranulph's territorial power now extended into Leicestershire and Warwickshire, bringing him face-to-face with Robert de Beaumont, 2nd earl of Leicester. Between 1149 and 1153 Ranulph and Robert negotiated a careful treaty to govern their relationship.
     “In 1153 Henry, while still duke, granted Staffordshire to Ranulph. In that year Ranulph barely survived an attempt at murder by one of his arch enemies, William Peverel 'the Younger', when he and his men were guests at Peverel's house. William had poisoned the wine they had drunk. Three of Ranulph's men died, but he appeared to recover as he had drunk less than his men. Peverel was exiled from England after Henry became king. Ranulph died on 16 December 1153, possibly from the effect of the poisoning. He was succeeded by his son Hugh.”.¹ He was Vicomte d'Avranches at Normandy, France.⁹
