; Per Genealogics: "Henry 'the Young King' was born on 28 February 1155 at Bermondsey, son of Henry II, king of England, and Eleanor de Poitou, duchess of Aguitaine. At a meeting near Gisors on 31 August 1158, we know this from the Le Bec continuation of Robert de Torigny's chronicle, the betrothal of Henry 'the Young King' with Marguerite de France, was agreed to by their fathers Henry II of England and Louis VII of France. The wedding was celebrated prematurely at Le Neubourg on 2 November 1160. Marguerite was then a two-year-old and the younger Henry was five. Henry II had obtained a dispensation from two cardinals as a condition of his acknowledging Pope Alexander III's contested election, this information and the date was given by Ralph of Diceto. Henry 'the Young King' died childless on 11 June 1183 at Martel."⁸

The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "reginam Margaretam Anglie et comitissam Aaliz" as childen of King Louis VII & his second wife[460].

Ralph de Diceto´s Abbreviationes Chronicorum record in 1186 that “Margarita soror regis Francorum” married “Bela regi Hungariæ”[464]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Margareta soror regis Philippi" as widow of "iunior Henricus rex Anglorum" and records her second marriage to "Hungarorum regi Bela"[465].

Her father-in-law arranged her second marriage so he could retain her dowry. She left for Palestine after being widowed for the second time. The Chronicle of Ernoul records the arrival of "une reine en Hongrie…veve sans hoir" at Tyre [in 1197] and her death eight days later, specifying that she was the sister of the mother of Henri Comte de Champagne King of Jerusalem and had been "feme…le jouene roi d'Englietere…et suer…le roi Phelippe de France"[467].

Med Lands cites: He was Crowned King of England: [Ashley, p. 524] HENRY, THE YOUNG KING. The son of HENRY II, who was crowned as king of England in June 1170 to designate him as heir to the throne in the style of the French monarchs. Henry had been born on 28 February 1155 at Bermondsey Palace in Surrey, so he was only fifteen at the time of his coronation. He had already been married for nearly ten years to Margaret, the daughter of Louis VII of France. Louis had agreed the terms of the betrothal as far back as 1158 but had not expected such an early marriage. Henry II, however, used his influence with the new pope, Alexander III, to conduct the marriage and this brought with it certain castles in France as part of Margaret's dowry. Louis constantly objected to Henry's schemes and one-upmanship; Louis had no such skills. However he objected to the coronation of 1170 firstly on the grounds that his daughter had not been crowned queen at the same time but also that it was unlawful. The coronation should have been conducted by Thomas Becket, the authorised representative of the pope. Becket was still in exile in France at that time so the archbishop of York conducted the ceremony. Because of these antagonisms, Henry organized a second coronation at Winchester in August 1172 with the new archbishop of Canterbury and at which Margaret was crowned. The "Young King", as he was always known, had long been status conscious. There is the tale that at the banquet the father waited upon his own son, remarking that "No other king in Christendom has such a butler", to which the son retorted, "It is only fitting that the son of a count should wait on the son of a king." The young Henry was an ungrateful child and, encouraged by his mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine, he rose up in revolt against his father when the old king attempted to transfer three of Henry's key castles to John. The "Young King" sought his mother's help with the result that Eleanor was imprisoned. This led to the other sons coming into the fray, and the next decade saw an embittered rivalry between Henry and his sons. The "Young King" did not survive to inherit the throne, as he died of a fever at Martel Castle in Turenne on 11 June 1183, aged twenty-eight. His only child, William, who had been born in 1177, had lived only three days. His widow, Margaret, married Bela III, king of Hungary, in 1185. She died in 1197 at Acre in the Holy Land. The throne passed to RICHARD (I). on 14 June 1170.^15,13,7,3

     Princess of England. She married the 27 years older Henry the Lion, Duke of Brunswick on Feb 1st, 1168. Her marriage founded the long alliance between the Angevin Kings and the Guelphs. In 1182 Henry was exiled by the Emperor and went with his wife to her fathers court. She first stayed in Caen and later in Argentan in the Normandy where she met Bertrand de Born a troubadour who dedicated one of his songs to her. In the spring of 1184 she went with her father to England where Henry II released his wife Eleanor after 11 years imprisonment. Mother and daughter met in Winchester for the first time in 16 years. Shortly thereafter she gave birth to her son Wilhelm. He became the progenitor of all Dukes of Brunswick and therefore of King George I of England. In the following year the couple returned to Germany. Their oldest son Heinrich was the only one of their children that accompanied them. The others stayed in England, among them was Otto, who later became Holy Roman Emperor. Henry the Lion was exiled again in 1189 and returned to England, but Mathilde remained in Brunswick. She died there just 8 days before her fathers death. Bio by: Lutetia

     “Matilda was born in London in 1156, the eldest daughter of Henry II, king of England, and Eleanor de Poitou, duchesse d'Aquitaine. Matilda seems to have spent much of her early life in the company of her mother.
     “In 1165 Rainald of Dassel, archbishop of Cologne, arrived at the court of Henry II at Rouen to negotiate a German match for Matilda. There was conflict during the negotiations, however, when Robert de Beaumont, 2nd earl of Leicester, refused to greet the archbishop, alleging him to be a schismatic and a supporter of the anti-pope Victor IV. The original plan to match a daughter of Henry II with a son of Emperor Friedrich I Barbarossa was abandoned, and instead Matilda left England in September 1167 to marry Heinrich 'the Lion', Herzog von Sachsen und Bayern. On 1 February 1168 at Minden Cathedral, she became the second wife of Heinrich, who was the son of Heinrich 'the Proud', Herzog von Bayern und Sachsen, and Gertrud von Supplinburg, only child of Emperor Lothar von Supplinburg and Richenza von Northeim. Their sons Heinrich and Wilhelm would have progeny.
     “At the time of their marriage, Heinrich 'the Lion' was one of the most powerful allies of Emperor Friedrich I Barbarossa. Matilda governed her husband's vast estates during his absence in the Holy Land from 1172 to 1173. In 1174 Heinrich became involved in a conflict with the emperor over his refusal to aid Friedrich in a renewed invasion of Lombardy, and in 1182 Heinrich and Matilda were forced to flee Germany and take refuge in Normandy at her father's court. During this time at the royal court at Argentan, Matilda became acquainted with the troubadour Bertran de Born. Calling her 'Elena' or 'Lana', he made her the object of his desire in two of his poems of courtly love.
     “Matilda, her husband, and their family remained in Normandy under the protection and support of King Henry until 1185, when they were allowed to return to Saxony. Early in 1189 the emperor again ordered Heinrich to go into exile. This time Matilda remained at Brunswick to defend the interests of her husband, but she died three months later, on 28 June 1189.”.⁶

     "MATILDA (Windsor Castle Jun 1156-Brunswick 28 Jun 1189, bur Brunswick Cathedral). Ralph de Diceto´s Abbreviationes Chronicorum record in 1156 that “Alienor regina” gave birth to “filiam...Matildem”[425]. Her marriage was arranged as part of the 1165 treaty of alliance between Friedrich I "Barbarossa" King of Germany and her father[426]. Ralph de Diceto´s Abbreviationes Chronicorum record in 1167 that “Matildis filia regis” married “Henrico duci Saxonico”[427]. The Chronicle of Gervase records the marriage in 1168 of "Matildis filia regis Anglie" and "dux Saxonum Henrico"[428]. The Chronicon Sancti Michaelis Luneburgensis names "Megthildem filiam Henrici regis Anglorum" as second wife of "Heinricus dux"[429]. The Annales Sancti Blasii Brunsvicenses record that "ecclesia Sancti Blasii episcopi" was founded in 1173 and in a later passage record the death in 1188 of "domina nostra Mechtildis fundatrix"[430].

Heinrich was dispossessed of his German lands in summer 1180. He submitted at the general assembly at Erfurt in Nov 1181, was restored to his allodial lands around Brunswick and Lüneburg, but exiled for three years. He sought refuge with his father-in-law in England, before returning to Germany in 1185[432]. When Emperor Friedrich I was preparing to leave on crusade in late 1189, Heinrich refused to accompany him and chose to go into exile in England once again[433]."

     "HEINRICH ([1129/30]-Braunschweig 6 Aug 1195, bur Braunschweig Cathedral). His date of birth is calculated from his dying in his 66th year, according to the chronicle of the Steterburg foundation near Wolfenbüttel[425], Jordan pointing out that the chronicle's author provost Gerhard was close to Heinrich during the last years of his life. After his father's death the dispute with Konrad III King of Germany over the Welf duchies of Bavaria and Saxony continued. A temporary settlement was achieved in 1142 when Albrecht "der Bär" relinquished Saxony, which was awarded to Heinrich, who was installed as HEINRICH "der Löwe" Duke of Saxony on condition that he formally renounce his claim to the duchy of Bavaria. He renewed his claim to Bavaria after the death of his mother, whose second marriage had been arranged as part of the settlement of the issue in 1142. "Henricus dux Saxonie" confirmed the privileges of Kloster Bursfeld, founded by "comes Henricus filius Ottonis ducis, proavus meus", by charter dated 23 Jul 1144[426]. After a lengthy dispute with Albrecht "der Bär" Markgraf von Brandenburg over the inheritance of the counts of Plötzkau and Hermann von Winzenburg, Friedrich I "Barbarossa" King of Germany assigned the Plötzkauer inheritance to Markgraf Albrecht and the Winzenburger inheritance to Duke Heinrich at the diet of Würzburg in Oct 1153[427]. In order to terminate the longstanding dispute between the German kings and the Welf family, Friedrich I "Barbarossa" King of Germany deprived Heinrich "Jasomirgott" Markgraf of Austria of the duchy of Bavaria in favour of Duke Heinrich in 1156[428]. The latter was installed as HEINRICH XII Duke of Bavaria, although he spent much less time in Bavaria than in Saxony[429], presumably because of Bavaria's greater internal administrative unity which demanded less oversight than Saxony. In 1158, he exchanged some territories with Emperor Friedrich I, receiving land in the southern Harz for the domains which he had received as dowry on his first marriage[430]. From 1166 to 1170, the rebellion of the league of princes severely disrupted the administration of Saxony. Heinrich Duke of Bavaria and Saxony donated property to the church "sancte Marie…in Ourenkierken", with the consent of "heredis nostri…filie nostre Gerthrudis", by charter dated 3 Aug 1171[431]. Duke Heinrich made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem in 1172 but refused the invitation of Amaury I King of Jerusalem to fight[432]. He lost the duchies of Saxony and Bavaria in 1180, but retained his mother's inheritance of Brunswick where he established his court. He was tried in absentia at Worms in Jan 1179 for having expelled Ulrich Bishop of Halberstadt, and outlawed. Heinrich was dispossessed of his properties in summer 1180. He submitted at the general assembly at Erfurt in Nov 1181, was restored to his allodial lands around Brunswick and Lüneburg, but was exiled for three years. He left with his wife in Jul 1182 and sought refuge with his father-in-law first in Normandy, later in England, before returning to Germany in 1185[433]. "Heinricus dux de Brunswic…" witnessed the charter dated 1186 under which Konrad [I] Archbishop of Mainz confirmed property of Tettenborn church[434]. When Emperor Friedrich I was preparing to leave on crusade in late 1189, Heinrich refused to accompany him and chose exile in England once more[435]. He returned to Germany in Oct 1189 after the death of his wife. He destroyed Bardowick, captured Lübeck and Lauenburg, and attracted Hamburg to his support. Heinrich VI King of Germany appealed for help against Duke Heinrich at a diet at Merseburg in Oct 1189, unsuccessfully besieged Brunswick, but sacked Hannover. King Heinrich made a peace settlement with Duke Heinrich at Fulda in Jul 1190[436]. Heinrich failed to observe the terms of the peace agreement. Although the Saxon princes assembled troops led by Wichmann Archbishop of Magdeburg, a truce was agreed[437]. Duke Heinrich and Emperor Heinrich V were finally reconciled in Mar 1194 at Tilleda on the Kyffhäuser mountain, when the former was reconfirmed in his allodial possessions and agreed to take part in the imperial campaign in Italy later that year[438]. The Chronicon Montis Serreni records the death in 1195 of "Heinricus dux de Bruneswich" and his burial "in mon. sancti Blasii iuxta uxorem"[439]. The necrology of Lüneburg records the death "6 Aug" of "Heinricus dux"[440].

The Chronicon Sancti Michaelis Luneburgensis names "filiam ducis Zaringie, Clementiam" as wife of "Heinricus dux"[441]. Heiress of Badenweiler, although her first husband sold these Swabian estates to Friedrich I "Barbarossa" King of Germany in 1158, receiving in exchange Herzberg, Scharzfels and Pöhlde south of the Harz[442]. Her first marriage was arranged to confirm her father's alliance with the Welf party in southern Germany[443]. The Annales Palidenses record the repudiation by "Heinricus dux" of his first wife "Bertoldi ducis Zaringe sorore"[444]. Her first husband repudiated Klementia because of the growing difficulties between her brother Duke Berthold IV and Emperor Friedrich I "Barbarossa", with whom Duke Heinrich was by then in close alliance[445]. She married secondly (1164) as his third wife, Humbert III Comte de Maurienne et de Savoie. Her second marriage is confirmed by Ralph de Diceto´s Ymagines Historiarum which record in 1173 the betrothal of “Henricus rex Angliæ, Johanni filio suo cognomento sine terra” and [her daughter] “septenni filiam primogenitam Humberti comitis de Moriana...ex relicta Henrici Saxonis ducis”[446].

The Chronicon Sancti Michaelis Luneburgensis names "Megthildem filiam Henrici regis Anglorum" as second wife of "Heinricus dux"[447]. Ralph de Diceto´s Abbreviationes Chronicorum record in 1156 that “Alienor regina” gave birth to “filiam...Matildem”[448]. Ralph de Diceto´s Abbreviationes Chronicorum record in 1167 that “Matildis filia regis” married “Henrico duci Saxonico”[449]. The Chronicle of Gervase records the marriage in 1168 of "Matildis filia regis Anglie" and "dux Saxonum Henrico"[450]. Her marriage was arranged as part of the 1165 treaty of alliance between Friedrich I "Barbarossa" King of Germany and her father[451]. The Annales Sancti Blasii Brunsvicenses record that "ecclesia Sancti Blasii episcopi" was founded in 1173 and in a later passage record the death in 1188 of "domina nostra Mechtildis fundatrix"[452]. The Chronicon Montis Serreni records that "soror Rikardi Regis Anglie" wife of "Heinricus dux de Bruneswich" was buried "in mon. sancti Blasii"[453].
     "Mistress (1): [--- von Blieskastel, daughter of GOTTFRIED Graf von Blieskastel & his wife ---] ([1130]-[1190]). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Mathildem [de Luscelenburch]" as mother of "comitem Folmerum et sorores eius Helvidem, quam habuit comes Gerardus de Reneke dyocesis Herbipolensis et illam qua dux de Bronsviic genuit filiam, que in Sclavia hereditavit"[454], although the Chronicle appears to skip a generation in this account. The likely birth date of this individual suggests it is unlikely that she was the daughter of Graf Gottfried [I], given the other dates attributed to his children. Until corroboration of her parentage is found in other sources, the accuracy of Alberic must be considered doubtful. Jordan clarifies that the name "Ida" attributed to Duke Heinrich's mistress[455] is incorrect, being an error deriving from Origines Guelficæ[456] which, in recopying from the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines, miscopied the word "illam" as "Idam"[457]."

     DEATH     6 Apr 1199 (aged 41), Chalus, Departement de la Haute-Vienne, Limousin, France
     English Monarch, Duc d'Aquitaine. Born at Beaumont Palace, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England, the third son of Henry II 'Curtmantle', King of England and Eleanor, Duchesse d'Aquitaine. He spent his youth in France at his mother's court at Poitiers training as a soldier and gained the title of Duc d'Aquitaine in 1172. He fought with his brothers Henry and Geoffrey in their rebellion against their father in 1173; he fought for his father against his brothers when they supported an 1183 revolt in Aquitaine during which Prince Henry died; and he joined Philip II of France against his father in 1188, forced him to acknowledge Richard as his heir, and harried him to his death in 1189. Richard succeeded to the title of King Richard I of England on July 6, 1189 and was crowned in September 1189 at Westminster Abbey, London when he was styled Rex Anglaie, Dux Normanniae et Aquitainaie et Comes Andegavaie. He acted upon a promise to his father and joined the Third Crusade departing for the Holy Land in 1190 leaving his youngest brother, John, in charge of the realm. In 1191, he conquered Cyprus. He held his own against Saladin, nearly taking Jerusalem twice. Although he did not vanquish the Turks, a truce with Saladin granted easier access to the region for Christian pilgrims. He became known as Richard the Lionheart or Coeur de Lion for his prowess on the battlefield. He married Berengaria of Naverre when on a Crusade in 1191 but had no children. On his way home from the Holy Land in March of 1192, Richard was shipwrecked and captured. He was imprisoned by the Holy Roman Emperor Henry VI who demanded a 150,000-mark ransom which was raised through heavy taxing of the people of England. Richard was freed in February of 1194. Upon returning to England he had a second coronation to demonstrate his authority and quashed John's plots before leaving for France and igniting a war with Philip II in order to regain lost territory. Their fight continued sporadically until the French were finally defeated near Gisors in 1198. Richard was mortally wounded in a skirmish at the castle of Chalus in the Limousin in 1199. Upon his death his heart was interred at the cathedral in Rouen while his body was interred at Fontevraud Abbey. This king of England had spent less than seven months of a ten year reign in his kingdom. Bio by: Iola

; Per HBC:
     "England's King Richard I (1157-1199), called the Lionheart for his ferocity and courage, spent all but six months of his 10-year reign fighting outside his beloved homeland. One of history's great warrior kings, he won many victories--some against his own brothers--and led the Third Crusade. However, he met a surprisingly humble end on the battlefield.
     "When a cache of Roman gold was discovered in Aquitaine, the Lord of Châlus, a minor castle, refused to follow feudal law and give the treasure to Richard, his overlord. Richard believed it would take only a day or two to take the castle and brought his armies to lay siege.
     "With uncharacteristic carelessness, Richard rode around the castle walls without full armor, observing ragtag enemy troops along the battlements. One soldier, Bertran de Gourdon, carrying a frying pan for a shield, trained his crossbow on the king. Legend has it that upon seeing the bowman taking aim, Richard actually applauded the man's courage before raising his shield to deflect the bolt. He took the shaft in his shoulder, just below the neck.
     "The king bravely yanked the bolt out, but it broke off to leave a barb in his flesh that, though surgically removed, turned the cut into a mortal wound. While the king lay dying, Châlus Castle was stormed and captured. Its troops were all killed or hanged, except for Gourdon, whom Richard ordered brought before him.
     ""You slew my father and my two brothers," de Gourdon said. "Now devise what torments you may for me" A dying warrior who esteemed bravery above all else, Richard not only pardoned the man but also gave him 100 shillings. A few days later, cradled in his mother's arms, Richard the Lionheart died."¹⁶

Third Crusade, whose aim was to recover Jerusalem, captured from the westerners by the Muslins in 1187, to the shame of western Christendom. Richard left England on 12 Dec. 1189: secured Acre and Jaffa and defeated the Muslims in the battle of Arsuf, but his forces were not sufficiently strong to gain Jerusalem. He had to be content with making a truce with the Islamic leader Saladin, who much admired him. On Richard's journey home he was imprisoned in Germany; he was released in 1194 on payment of a huge ransom; returned to England on 13 Mar. 1194. His brother John had stirred up tensions in England by challenging the rule of his deputy (justiciar) there. His overlord in France, Philippe Augustus, encouraged dissidents there. But after his return Richard turned his formidable military talent to wage war against the French king. In 1199, during a minor siege at Chalus in Aquitaine, Richard was fatally injured by a crossbow bolt; died 6 Apr. 1199 s.p., buried with his parents at Fontévrault Abbey; married at Lemesos, Cyprus, 1 May 1191 BERENGARIA DE NAVARRE, born about 1163, died at Espans Abbey, near Le Mans, about 1230, buried there, daughter of Sancho VI, Roi de Navarre, by Sanchia, daughter of Alfonso VII, Rey de Castilla.

Crowned Westminster Abbey, 2 September 1189. Titles: king of England, duke of Normandy and duke of Aquitaine (from 1172). Born: Beaumont Palace, Oxford, 8 September 1157. Died: Chalus, Aquitaine, 6 April 1199, aged 41. Buried: Fontevrault Abbey, Anjou. Married: 12 May 1191, at Limassol, Cyprus, Berengaria (c1163-after 1230), dau. of Sancho VI, king of Navarre: no children. Richard had one, possibly two illegitimate children. Probably no other historical king of England has so much legend attached to him and so much reputation which is ill founded. We know Richard as the Lionhearted, or Coeur-du-Lion, the brave and intrepid champion of Christendom against the infidel, and he is one of our national heroes. And yet the truth is so very different.
Richard had little interest in England and certainly not in the administrative demands of government. In his youth he had not expected to become king, as his elder brother HENRY (THE YOUNG KING) was heir to the throne. In 1172 he was invested with the duchy of Aquitaine, the inheritance of his mother, Eleanor. Like all the sons of HENRY II, Richard seemed a less than grateful child. He was devoted to his mother and, when she was imprisoned, Richard joined in the rebellion of his brothers against their father seeking to gain more authority. Henry was still able to rebuff them at this time, but the relationship between father and sons soured over the years, with Richard's brother JOHN being the favourite. Richard had one passion in life. He loved to fight. The thrill of battle never left him. In his youth he had trained as a knight and was a champion of the tourney. His courage and strength soon became the wonder of Aquitaine where he spent several years in battle against the rebellious barons. His military skill was evident when he took the hitherto impregnable castle of Taillebourg in 1179. Richard was tall, with handsome features and tousled red hair. He seems to have attracted as much attention from men as from women and there is almost certainly some truth in the belief that Richard had homosexual inclinations.
After the death of his elder brother Henry in 1183 Richard became his father's heir. Henry hoped that Richard would pass Aquitaine on to John, but Richard had no such intention. Henry's efforts to gain land back from his sons for John only led to warfare between Richard and his father. In 1189 Richard joined forces with Philippe II of France and beat his father into submission. Henry died a few days later and Richard travelled promptly to England to be crowned, pausing briefly in Normandy to be acknowledged Duke.
Richard's coronation was marred by the persecution of the Jews that broke out in London and later in other cities, especially York. Two years earlier Saladin's forces had captured Jerusalem, and the cry went up across Europe to regain the heart of Christendom from the infidel. Henry II had originally been asked to lead the Crusade, and Richard had been anxious to take part, but with them both fighting each other nothing had happened. With Henry's death, Richard's one ambition now was to lead an army against the Saracens. His stay in Britain was brief, sufficient to raise finances and resources for the Crusade. This included the infamous Quit-claim of Canterbury whereby Richard sold all rights in Scotland back to WILLIAM THE LYON for ten thousand marks. He returned to France in December 1189 and would not set foot in England again for four years, and then only for two months. Although king of England for ten years he spent only six months in his kingdom. He left the administration of England in the hands of William Longchamp, a loyal and capable chancellor whose short temper and arrogance caused considerable friction with other barons and for a period forced him to retreat to Normandy.
Richard combined forces with Philippe II of France and set off for the Holy Land in July 1190. The vast army encountered transportation difficulties when their fleet was delayed and they decided to winter in Sicily. Richard's sister Joanna was the recently widowed queen of Sicily and Richard was less than satisfied with her treatment by the new king Tancred. A skirmish broke out between the crusaders and the inhabitants of Messina which resulted in Richard capturing the town. This enabled him to negotiate favourable terms with Tancred, which not only brought the release of Joanna, but much needed funds for the Crusade. It was not a happy winter in Sicily, however. Richard and Philippe quarreled over Richard's planned marriage with Philippe's sister Alys. They had been betrothed for over twenty years, but during that time Alys had almost certainly become the mistress of Richard's father Henry. She was not exactly a shining example of virtue and Richard, who had little interest in the fair sex, declined to marry her. In the midst of this quarrel, Eleanor of Aquitaine arrived in Sicily with a new bride for her son, Berengaria of Navarre. Incensed, Philippe sailed on ahead to the Holy Land. Richard followed in April 1191, but en route the ship carrying his young bride and his sister was nearly captured by Isaac Comnenus, a Byzantine rebel who had usurped power on Cyprus. In the resultant battle Richard conquered Cyprus, which he subsequently sold to Guy de Lusignan, the exiled king of Jerusalem. While in Cyprus, Richard married Berengaria. There were to be no children of this marriage. Although Richard may have been homosexual (and he certainly had a fascination for Berengaria's brother Sancho) he had at least one illegitimate child, Philip, who became lord of Cognac, probably the offspring of a lady at court in Aquitaine, a child of Richard's youth.
Richard reached the Holy Land in June 1191 and his forces helped conclude the siege of Acre, which had been deadlocked since August 1189, and where the besiegers were themselves besieged by Saladin's army. Richard however fell out with Duke Leopold of Austria, whom he insulted. Both Leopold and King Philippe of France soon returned home. Richard killed the prisoners taken at Acre and marched down the coast to Jaffa, winning a victory at Arsuf en route. However his forces were unable to penetrate inland to Jerusalem and, in September 1192, Richard was forced to conclude a three-year treaty with Saladin. Although Richard's Crusade failed in its prime objective, his exploits were amplified in their telling so that his English and French subjects elevated him to the status of a super-hero. In fact he was an extremely arrogant, petulant king, with a vicious temper and a total lack of moral scruples.
Richard returned to Europe in October 1192 but his ship was wrecked in the Adriatic and he was forced to travel across land. When he entered the territories of his enemy Leopold of Austria he apparently disguised himself as a woodsman, but he betrayed himself because of his fine gloves and was handed over to the Emperor Heinrich VI, who demanded a ransom of 150,000 marks. Richard was held captive for fifteen months while negotiations ensued and the ransom was raised. The negotiations were conducted by Richard's new justiciar, Hubert Walter, who had accompanied him to Palestine and who had arrived safely home. Hubert not only succeeded in raising the ransom but also quashed the attempted revolt by John to gain the throne. John's ineptitude nevertheless lost him lands in northern France. It is to this period that the romantic legend belongs of Richard's minstrel Blondel travelling from one castle to another in Austria and singing Richard's favourite song until he heard Richard sing back in response from the castle of Dürrenstein. Like most legends it probably has a core of truth.
Richard was eventually released and returned to England in March 1194. Despite John's treachery, Richard forgave him, merely admonishing him for acting like a child. He devoted the remaining years of his life to regaining his lost territories in France. He left for France in May 1194 and never returned to England. He seemed little concerned about the problems that his absence had caused elsewhere in Britain, particularly in Wales where warfare had broken out between the various rulers, and also in the Irish Sea where RAGNALD of Man ruled as a pirate. Henry II had held these upstarts in check, but Richard showed no such interest.
Although Richard made peace with Philippe II on more than one occasion, war always broke out again. Nevertheless Richard reconquered all of his former territories and, in building new fortifications, left them stronger than before. He received an arrow wound during a skirmish at the castle of Chalus in the Limousin, and he died from the infection a few days later in April 1199. Richard spent his entire life as a warrior. He was an excellent soldier, fearless, brave and a great tactician, but he was useless at anything else. He left no heir, and had also spent a considerable fortune on his exploits. The English, in their usual way of preferring the legend to the facts, have long cherished the memory of a man who, in fact, had no interest in England other than as a source of revenue, and who was a ruthless fighting machine who made enemies of most of the royalty of Europe.
Berengaria survived Richard by over thirty years. She settled in Le Mans where she helped finance the construction of the Abbey of L'Epau where she was later buried. It is often stated that Berengaria was the only queen of England never to set foot in the country. She never did so during Richard's reign, but she made occasional visits after his death until she settled down as a nun at L'Epau. between 6 July 1189 and 6 April 1199.^20,1 He Crowned.⁶ He was 3rd Crusade between 11 December 1189 and 13 March 1194.⁷

; Saladin: The Courtly Barbarian - Christian Europe was horrified when, in 1187, Sultan Saladin conquered the city of Jerusalem in an openly avowed holy war against non-believers, and made it a Muslim stronghold off-limits to Christians. Reviled as an infidel and considered a barbarian for beheading European knights, Saladin was in fact a scholar, a patron of the arts, and, above all, a gentleman.

When King Richard the Lionheart led the Third Crusade to liberate Jerusalem, he learned the truth about Saladin firsthand. Richard knew from varied accounts that his archenemy was a brilliant warrior, but he was surprised to see that Saladin was also quite chivalrous.

When King Richard fell ill during the siege of Acre, Saladin sent him fresh fruit and ordered ice brought from nearby mountains to cool his fever. Having finally starved the city of Acre into submission in 1191, Richard and his troops pressed on toward Jaffa where he and Saladin finally met on the battlefield. When Richard's horse was killed beneath him, Saladin quickly dispatched a groom with two fresh mounts for him.

The vigilance of Saladin and his troops rendered Jerusalem impregnable to attack. In 1192, Saladin and Richard, by now mutual admirers despite considerable bloodshed on both sides, signed a three-year truce allowing Muslims to retain control of Jerusalem, but giving Christians permission to visit the city's Holy Sepulcher if they came unarmed. Saladin's gesture of religious tolerance appears even nobler when contrasted with the earlier Christian conquest of Jerusalem, in which Muslims were killed in great numbers. In 1192, Richard's defeated troops were treated with uncommon respect and dignity.

Following the end of his military career, Saladin went on to become a builder of mosques and a celebrated theologian, further defying his one-dimensional image in Europe.²¹

     "Geoffrey was born on 23 September 1158, the fourth son of Henry II, king of England, and Eleanor de Poitou, duchess of Aquitaine.
     "As parts of his father's plans to secure and extend his family lands in France, as a child he was betrothed (1166/7) to Constance, the heiress of Brittany. At the family settlement at Montmirail in 1169, Geoffrey did homage for Brittany to his eldest brother, the Young Henry, who, in turn, did homage for Brittany to Louis VII of France. With his elder brothers, he allied with the French king against his father in 1173-4. In 1175 he began his rule in Brittany, doing homage for the county to the new French king, Philippe II August, in 1179.
     "In July 1181 Geoffrey finally married Constance, daughter of Conon IV le Petit, duke of Brittany, and Margaret of Scotland. They became the parents of three children, none of which would have progeny.
     "In 1183 Geoffrey goaded the Young Henry into revolt against the Old King and Richard of Poitou, the future Richard I; a year later he allied with his younger brother John against Richard, disappointed perhaps at not being given Anjou on the Young Henry's death in 1183; it had gone to Richard.
     "Geoffrey had developed a passion for tournament and intrigue which finally killed him. It was at a tournament in Paris, whither he had gone to plot with Philippe II August, that he was mortally wounded and died on 19 August 1186. His son Arthur was born posthumously."¹⁰

The marriage contract between “Willielmus...Rex Siciliæ...” and “Johannam puellam regii...filiam Henrici...Regis Anglorum” is dated Feb 1177[524]. She was crowned Queen of Sicily 13 Feb 1177 at Palermo Cathedral. After the death of her first husband, she was kept in confinement by his successor King Tancred. After her brother Richard I King of England (who was travelling through Italy on his way to join the Third Crusade in Palestine) demanded her release, she was sent to join him at Messina. The English king captured Messina to force Tancred to negotiate terms over the inheritance of King Guillaume[525].

Joanna sailed from Acre for France 29 Sep 1191 with her sister-in-law Queen Berengaria[528]. Her second marriage was arranged by her brother Richard I King of England as part of the peace terms negotiated with Raymond VI Comte de Toulouse in 1196[529].

     Princess of England, Queen of Sicily, Countess of Toulouse, youngest daughter of Henry II. and Eleanor of Aquitaine. She married the 12 years older William II. 'the Good' of Sicily on Feb. 13 1177. William died childless in 1189 and was succeeded by Tancred of Lecce who treated her badly and held her prisoner for a while. Her brother Richard stayed in Sicily for a few months on his way to the holy land during the third crusade. He was later joined by mother who brought his bride Berengaria of Navarra with her. Tancred, who already fought against Heinrich VI. handed her over because he couldn't risk to have another enemy.A few days after her brothers departure from Sicily she went with Berengaria on board a ship that was supposed to bring them to Akko. After a storm they stranded in Cyprus where they where taken prisoners by Byzantine Emperor Isaac II. Angelus. Richard's troops conquered Cyprus after three weeks and they where able to continue their travel. They stayed in Akko during the whole Crusade. During the peace negotiations with Saladin, Richard suggested to marry Joan with Saladins brother Malik al-Adil and give them the Kingdom of Jerusalem to rule. This suggestion was soon dropped again. After the crusade she and Berengaria went to Rome where they stayed until after Richards release from his imprisonment. In Oct. 1196 Joan became the fifth wife of Raymond VI. of Toulouse. She gave birth to one son, Raymond VII., in July 1197. In 1199 she stayed in the Castle of Cassès where rebellious barons besieged her. She was already five months pregnant and escaped from the castle to ask her brother for help. It was too late Richard was already dead. In Nioret she met her mother and went with her to Rouen. She suddenly decided to become a nun in the Abbey of Fontevraud and shocked her environment with this revelation. The arch bishop of Canterbury tried to change her decision without success. She traveled to Fontevraud where she gave birth to a son on September 24, 1199, a few minutes later she died in her mothers arms, just five month after her brother. The child only lived a few days. She was buried in the Abbey but the body was never found. Bio by: Lutetia

     "Joan of England (October 1165 – 4 September 1199) was a queen consort of Sicily and countess consort of Toulouse. She was the seventh child of Henry II, King of England and Eleanor, Duchess of Aquitaine. From her birth, she was destined to make a political and royal marriage. She married William II of Sicily and later Raymond VI, Count of Toulouse, two very important and powerful figures in the political landscape of Medieval Europe.
Early life
     "Joan was born in October 1165 at Château d'Angers in Anjou as the seventh child of Henry II, King of England and his queen consort, Eleanor of Aquitaine.[2] She spent her youth at her mother's courts at Winchester and Poitiers. As a young Angevin princess, Joan's early education consisted of subjects to ready her for marriage, and not just any marriage, but a royal one. She likely learned how to sew and weave, sing, play an instrument, and ride a horse – a pastime that she loved.[3]
Queen of Sicily
     "In 1176, William II of Sicily sent ambassadors to the English court to ask for Joan's hand in marriage.[4] The betrothal was confirmed on 20 May, and Joan's father had to raise money to pay for the cost of the journey and the wedding. He did this by imposing a tax on English subjects.[3] On 27 August, Joan set sail for Sicily from Southampton, escorted by John of Oxford, the bishop of Norwich and her uncle, Hamelin de Warenne, Earl of Surrey. In the Angevin territories of northern France, she was met by her eldest brother Henry the Young King, and he escorted her to Poitou to her brother Richard Lionheart. He took her to Saint Gilles, and her entourage was met by representatives of the Kingdom of Sicily: Alfano, Archbishop of Capua, and Richard Palmer, Bishop of Syracuse.
     "After a hazardous voyage, Joan arrived safely in Palermo, and on 13 February 1177, she married King William and was crowned Queen of Sicily at Palermo Cathedral.[5]
     "Joan produced no surviving heir, although there were rumours that she had given birth to a boy called Bohemond, born in 1181 or '82, but if he existed at all, he died in infancy.[3] Traditionally, a royal husband in such a situation may have annulled the marriage for a chance to marry a woman who would give him a son. King William did not annul the marriage, nor did he express any interest in doing so. Instead, he named his aunt Constance, daughter of Roger II of Sicily as his heir.
     "When William II died in November 1189, Sicily was seized by his bastard cousin Tancred, who took the lands given to Joan by William with the sound strategic reason that Monte Sant'Angelo lay on the route taken by the invading forces of Heinrich VI of Germany.[1]
Third Crusade
     "Finally, her brother King Richard I of England arrived in Italy in 1190, on the way to the Holy Land. He demanded her return, along with every penny of her dowry. When Tancred balked at these demands, Richard seized a monastery and the castle of La Bagnara. He decided to spend the winter in Italy and attacked and subdued the city of Messina, Sicily.[6] Finally, Tancred agreed to the terms and sent Joan's dowry. In March 1191 Eleanor of Aquitaine arrived in Messina with Richard's bride, Berengaria of Navarre.
     "Eleanor returned to England, leaving Berengaria in Joan's care. Richard decided to postpone his wedding, put his sister and bride on a ship, and set sail. Two days later the fleet was hit by a fierce storm, destroying several ships and blowing Joan and Berengaria's ship off course. Richard landed safely in Crete, but they were stranded near Cyprus. The self-appointed despot of Cyprus, Isaac Comnenus was about to capture them when Richard's fleet suddenly appeared. The princesses were saved, but the despot made off with Richard's treasure. Richard pursued and captured Isaac, threw him into a dungeon, married Berengaria on 12 May 1191 at Limasol, Cyprus and then sent Joan and Berengaria on to Acre.
     "Joan was Richard's favourite sister, but he was not above using her as a bargaining chip in his political schemes. He even suggested marrying her to Saladin's brother, Al-Adil, and making them joint rulers of Jerusalem. Although Al-Adil and Saladin both expressed agreement with the arrangement, the plan failed when the high ranking priests opposed the wedding and threatened Richard that he would be excommunicated from the Christian Church. King Philip II of France also expressed some interest in marrying her, but this scheme, too, failed (possibly on grounds of affinity, since Philip's father Louis VII had formerly been married to her mother).
Countess of Toulouse
     "Joan was married in October 1196, at Rouen, as his third wife, to Raymond VI, Count of Toulouse, with Quercy and the Agenais as her dowry. She was the mother of his successor Raymond VII of Toulouse (born July 1197), and a daughter, Joan (born 1198), who married Bernard II de la Tour, Lord of la Tour.
     "Some chroniclers, who disliked Raymond VI, Count of Toulouse (believing he was a heretic), claim that his marriage to Joan quickly became unhappy, and that she had been fleeing to her brother Richard's domains in 1199, when she learned of Richard's death. "The Chronicle of Guillaume de Puylaurens", however, says the following of Joan's last few months: "She was an able woman of great spirit, and after she had recovered from childbed, she was determined to counter the injuries being inflicted upon her husband at the hands of numerous magnates and knights. She therefore took arms against the lords of Saint-Felix, and laid siege to a castrum belonging to them known as Les Cassés. Her efforts were of little avail; some of those with her treacherously and secretly provided arms and supplies to the besieged enemy. Greatly aggrieved, she abandoned the siege, and was almost prevented from leaving her camp by a fire started by the traitors. Much affected by this injury, she hastened to see her brother King Richard to tell him about it but found that he had died. She herself died, whilst pregnant, overcome by this double grief."
Death and burial
     "Joan asked to be admitted to Fontevrault Abbey, an unusual request for a married, pregnant woman, but this request was granted. She died in childbirth and was veiled a nun on her deathbed. Her son, born by Caesarean section once Joan had died, lived just long enough to be baptised, receiving the name of Richard. Joan was thirty-three years old.
     "Joan was buried at Fontevrault Abbey. Her effigy was originally shown kneeling at the head of her father's tomb with her hands clasped and head bent in an attitude of devotion which was expressed on her face. Her son Raymond was buried beside her and his effigy knelt facing hers. Both effigies were destroyed during the French Revolution.
Notes
1. Historians are divided in their use of the terms "Plantagenet" and "Angevin" in regards to Henry II and his sons. Some class Henry II to be the first Plantagenet King of England; others refer to Henry, Richard and John as the Angevin dynasty, and consider Henry III to be the first Plantagenet ruler.

     "GUILLAUME d’Aquitaine, son of GUILLAUME VIII Duke of Aquitaine [GUILLAUME VI Comte de Poitou] & his third wife Hildegarde de Bourgogne [Capet] (22 Oct 1071-10 Feb 1126). The Chronicle of Saint-Maxence records the birth "1071 XI Kal Nov" of "Goffredo duci…Guillelmus filius"[558]. "Willelmi filius eius" subscribed the donation by "Willelmus dux Aquitanorum" of property to St Cyprien, Poitiers by charter dated [1073/87][559]. "Goffredus…dux Aquitanorum et Guillelmus filius eius" set entry conditions for monks at Saint-Hilaire de Poitiers by charter dated 1078 or 1079[560]. He succeeded his father in 1086 as GUILLAUME IX Duke of Aquitaine, GUILLAUME VII Comte de Poitou. Albert of Aix records that "Willelmus comes et princeps Pictaviensium, de sanguine et origine Henrici tertii imperatoris Romanorum" crossed Hungary peacefully with "duce Bawariorum Welfone et…comitssa…Ida de marchia Osterrich", entered the territory of the Bulgars in which "duce Bulgarorum Guz" refused their passage into Adrianople (when "Rodulfus…de Scegonges ortus, cognatus ipsius Willelmi principis" was killed and "Hardewinus…de Sancto Medardo" captured), but that Guillaume captured "ducem Bulgarorum" who was forced to allow the pilgrims to continue, undated but in a passage adjacent to text which records events in 1101[561]. According to Albert of Aix, after the army was dispersed in Asia Minor by the Turks, Duke Guillaume fled to "Longinath juxta Tursolt civitatem", from where he was rescued and brought to Antioch by Tancred's forces[562]. "Aimericus de Ranconia vocatus filius Aimeri qui fuit male peremptus et filius Burgoniæ" donated "mariscum et verniatam quæ sunt sub molendino de Ternant" to the abbey of Ternant Ste-Marie by charter dated 1105, witnessed by "Willelmi ducis, Aldiardis comitissa"[563]. He was a troubadour and composer of lyric poetry. The Chronicle of Saint-Maxence records the death "1126 IV Id Feb" of "Willelmus dux Aquitanorum" and his burial "Pictavis civitate apud Novum Monasterium"[564]. The necrology of the Prieuré de Fontaines records the death "10 Feb" of "Guillermus dux Aquitanorum"[565].

The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to the daughter of "Fulco" as "comitissam Redonensem" but does not name her[566]. "Fulco Andegavensis comes" donated property to Angers with the consent of "filiis meis Gaufrido et Fulconello et filia mea Ermengarde" by charter dated 23 Jun 1096[567]. William of Tyre names her "Hermingerda", gives her father's name implying that she was born from his fifth marriage, and names her first husband "Pictaviensium comitis Willelmi", her divorce and her second husband "comes Brittaniæ"[568]. She married secondly ([1093]) as his second wife, Alain IV "Fergant" Duke of Brittany. The Gesta Consulum Andegavorum records that "comitissa Brittaniæ" was the daughter of Foulques and his first wife "filiam Lancelini de Baugenciaco", adding that she became a nun at "Jerusalem in ecclesia Sanctæ Annæ" after her husband died[569]. "Fulco Andecavorum comes nepos Goffridi Martelli…consulis" donated property to Angers with the consent of "Ermenjarde filia sua comitissa Brittaniæ" by charter dated 12 Apr 1109[570]. The necrology of Angers Cathedral records the death "Kal Jun" of "Ermengardis comitissa Britanniæ mater Conan ducis et soror Fulconis regis Hierosolymitani"[571]. The Annals of St Salvator Redon record that "Ermengardeque Alani conjugem, vere piam ac religiosam" was buried at the abbey of Redon[572].
     "m secondly (1094, divorced 1115) PHILIPPA [Mathilde] de Toulouse, daughter of GUILLAUME IV Comte de Toulouse & his second wife Emma de Mortain (-28 Nov 1117). The Chronicle of Saint-Maxence records the marriage of "Guillelmus" and "Philippam…filiam Willelmi comitis Tolosani et neptem Raimundi de Sancto Egidio"[573]. Robert of Torigny refers to, but does not name, "filiam unam" of "comes Tolosanus frater Raimundi comitis Sancti Ægidii" & his wife, who married "Guillermus comes Pictavensis et dux Aquitanorum"[574]. "Guillelmus…Aquitainie similiter et Vasconie dux et comes" confirmed donations to Sainte-Croix, Bordeaux by "genitor noster Guillelmus qui et Gaufridus vocatus est" with the consent of "Mathildis uxor…" by charter dated 23 Mar 1096[575]. It is assumed that Mathilde and Philippa refer to the same person. "Willelmus comes et uxor mea Philippia, filia Willelmi comitis Tolosæ" donated property to Toulouse Saint-Sernin by charter dated Jul 1098[576]. She is also named in an undated donation by Bertrand Comte de Toulouse which names her father but not her husband[577]. “Philippæ comitissæ…Emmæ filia” reached agreement with “Bernardus-Atonis filius Ermengardis” by charter dated 1114[578]. Orderic Vitalis recounts that "Hildegarde Ctss de Poitou" complained to the synod of Reims, held in Oct 1119 by Pope Calixtus II, that her husband had abandoned her for "Malberge wife of the vicomte de Châtellerault"[579]. She became a nun. The necrology of the Prieuré de Fontaines records the death "28 Nov" of "Philippa monacha, Pictavensis comitissa"[580].
     "Mistress (1): AMAUBERGE [Dangerose], wife of AIMERY [I] Vicomte de Châtellerault, daughter of ---. "Aimericus Castri Araudi vicecomes" donated property to Saint-Denis en Vaux on the advice of "matris mee Adenoris et uxoris mee Dangerose fratrumque meorum Bosonis et Petri" by charter dated 1109[581]. Europäische Stammtafeln suggests that she was the daughter of Barthélemy [I] Seigneur de l’Isle-Bouchard[582]. Barthélemy is recorded with a daughter with the unusual name Dangerose (see the document POITOU, section SEIGNEURS de l’ISLE-BOUCHARD) who, from a chronological point of view, appears to have been of the right age to have been the wife of Vicomte Aimery [I]. She left her husband to live with Duke Guillaume, for which he was excommunicated. Ralph de Diceto´s Ymagines Historiarum record that “Willelmus comes Pictaviensium” left “uxori suæ” for “pellicem...Amalbergam”, specifying that the resulting dispute lasted seven years[583]. Orderic Vitalis recounts that "Hildegarde Ctss de Poitou" complained to the synod of Reims, held in Oct 1119 by Pope Calixtus II, that her husband had abandoned her for "Malberge wife of the vicomte de Châtellerault"[584].

     "Ermengarde was the daughter of Foulques IV 'Rechin', comte d'Anjou and his first wife Hildegarde de Beaugency. About 1089 Ermengarde's father married her to Guillaume VII-IX, duke of Aquitaine. However in 1093 Guillaume repudiated her and had the marriage annulled so that he could marry someone else. The same year, as a dutiful daughter, she married Alain IV Fergent, duke of Brittany, but tried to leave him to enter the convent of Fontevrault, asking that the marriage be annulled. The bishops refused, sending her back to her husband and exhorting her to be obedient and accept her place as a wife and mother. She must have done so, as she and Alain had three children, of whom Conon would have progeny. When Alain joined the First Crusade she capably ruled the duchy on his behalf.
     "In 1119 Ermengarde was a widow when she appeared before the bishops at the Council of Reims to accuse her first husband of bigamy. This may have somewhat surprised them as in both of her marriages she had shown that she could be difficult, though she had obviously reached an understanding with her second husband. She died about 1146."³

; Per Wikipedia:
     "Ermengarde of Anjou (ca. 1068 – 1 June 1146) was a member of the comital House of Anjou and by her two marriages was successively Duchess of Aquitaine and Brittany. Also, she was a patron of Fontevraud Abbey. Ermengarde was the regent of Brittany during the absence of her spouse from 1096 until 1101.
Life
Early years
     "Born in Angers she was the eldest child of Count Fulk IV of Anjou but the only one born by his first wife, Hildegarde of Beaugency. Having lost her mother in 1070, at only two years of age, she received a good education and grew to be pious and concerned about religious reform, especially the struggle against the secular appropriation of church property. She was also noted for her beauty in her youth.
Duchess of Aquitaine
     "It has long been presumed that, in 1089, her marriage was arranged to the young Duke and poet, William IX of Aquitaine. However, this union proved a dismal failure. Her husband was a voracious philanderer, whose affairs infuriated his wife. She suffered from severe mood swings, vacillating between vivacity and sullenness, and would nag her husband. She also had a habit of retiring in bad temper to a cloister after an argument, cutting off all contact with the outside world, before suddenly making a reappearance in the court as if her absence had never occurred. Such behavior, coupled with her failure to conceive a child, led William to send her back to her father and have the marriage dissolved in 1091.
     "Her behavior during her marriage to the Duke has been described by both Marion Meade and Alison Weir as schizophrenic, with Weir adding a suggestion of manic depression.
     "However, Ruth Harvey's 1993 critical investigation[1] shows the assumption of William's marriage to Ermengarde to be based largely on an error in a nineteenth-century secondary source and it is highly likely that Philippa of Toulouse was William's only wife. Further research [2] has found the claim that William was married to "Hermingerda", daughter of Fulk IV of Anjou is based on the very unreliable chronicle of William of Tyre, written between 1169 and 1187, more than 70 years after the events in question would have taken place. Tyre erroneously identifies Ermengarde's mother as Bertrand of Montfort, the sister of Amalricus de Montfort when her mother was in fact Audearde or Hildegarde of Beaugency. Tyre's chronicle lacks any contemporary corroboration, no primary text ever mentions a marriage between William and Ermengarde. It is therefore not only improbable that William married Ermengarde, it is likely that Ermengarde - at least as a wife of William - never existed.
     "But Stephen Philp, poet and mediaeval historian, has counter-argued that, on the basis of pure logic, even if we accept that Ermengarde never married Duke William IX, this has no bearing on whether she actually existed or not. Ermengarde's existence is indeed supported by the correction of the name of her mother. Moreover, several sources give colourful accounts of the marriage and its aftermath, and her later marriage,[3] so there is no good reason to doubt it.
Duchess and regent of Brittany
     "In 1093, her father married her to Duke Alan IV of Brittany, probably to secure an alliance against Normandy, then controlled by William the Conqueror’s son, Robert Curthose. The union produced three children: the future Duke Conan III, Hawise (wife of Count Baldwin VII of Flanders, who repudiated her in 1110) and Geoffrey (who died young in Jerusalem in 1116).
     "Her husband left for Palestine in 1096 to take part in the First Crusade and she served as Regent of the Duchy from then until 1101. She spent little time in Rennes or the west of Brittany, preferring Nantes and the Saumur region. Influenced by Robert of Arbrissel, she approved the expansion of the abbey at Fontevraud, to which she withdrew on two occasions. An admirer of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (to whose abbey she made donations), she favored the creation of Cistercian abbeys. She was also a benefactor of the monastery of Buzay, near Nantes.
     "Alan IV, an unpopular ruler, was forced to abdicated in favor of his son in 1112, and he and Ermengarde were separated after this.
Later years
     "By 1116 Ermengarde was living in Fontevrault Abbey, where she reputedly became a friend of her first husband's second wife, Philippa of Toulouse.
     "In 1118 after the death of Philippa, Ermengarde decided to avenge her deceased friend. She went south from Fontevrault to the court of her former husband, Duke William of Aquitaine, where she demanded to be recognized as the rightful Duchess. William ignored this remarkable request. Accordingly, in October 1119, she suddenly appeared at the Council of Reims, being held by Pope Calixtus II, demanding that the Pope excommunicate William, oust his mistress from the ducal palace, and restore Ermengarde to her rightful place as the Duchess of Aquitaine. The Pope "declined to accommodate her"; however, Ermengarde continued to trouble William for several years afterwards.
Death
     "Ermengarde at one point went on Crusade to Palestine; she returned ten years later, and some historians believe her life ended in Jerusalem at the convent of Saint Anne. But obituary lists at Redon Abbey record a date of death in 1146 in Redon where her second husband, Alan IV was buried. It is believed that she died a nun. The contradictions about her death and the records of her burial maybe indicated that in fact she died in Jerusalem, and that her body was subsequently transferred to Redon.

     “About 1067 Albert married Ida von Sachsen, widow of Friedrich, Graf von Luxemburg, duke of Lower-Lorraine, and daughter of Bernhard II, Herzog von Sachsen, and Eilica von Schweinfurt. Of their five children, Godefroid, Henri and Adelheid would have progeny.
     “From 1071 to 1072, Albert aided Richilde, heiress of Hainault, countess of Flanders and Hainault, to fight against her late husband Baudouin's brother Robert 'the Friesian', but Richilde was defeated and had to renounce Flanders in Robert's favour. In 1076, supported by Matilda, marchioness of Tuscany, he claimed the duchy of Bouillon through his mother, and he fought against Godefroy de Bouillon to assert his claims. During a battle near Dalhem on 20 September 1085 he killed the Count Palatine Hermann II of Lorraine, for which he was sent into disgrace by the German emperor. Finally in the Truce of God of 1086, the bishop of Liège managed to make a peace between the belligerents, though this was in Godefroy's favour.
     “In 1099 Bishop Otbert of Liège gave Albert the county of Brunengeruz. He appeared in a document of 1101 with his son Godefroid, but the latter was recorded alone in 1105.

He succeeded his father in [1063/64] as ALBERT III Comte de Namur. He claimed to succeed to the inheritance of his first cousin Godefroi III "Le Bossu" Duke of Lower Lotharingia in 1076, challenging the succession of Godefroi de Bouillon [Boulogne] and at one point unsuccessfully besieging the castle of Bouillon. As guardian of her interests in Lotharingia, Matilda of Tuscany granted Albert the county of Verdun which Theoderic Bishop of Verdun had bestowed on her in 1076, in order to thwart Godefroi de Bouillon´s inheritance[65]. In addition, Emperor Heinrich IV appointed Albert as vice-duke of Lower Lotharingia in 1076 to rule for his infant son Konrad, whom he had installed as Duke of Lower Lotharingia[66].

     French Nobility. King of Jerusalem, Count of Anjou, Touraine and Maine, also known as Fulk V "The Young". He was the only son of Fulk IV "Le Rechin" of Anjou and his fifth wife Bertrade de Montfort, who left her husband to become first mistress and later wife of King Philipp. He succeeded his father in 1109 and continued the war with Maine that his father had started. He invaded it and in 1110 married Eremburge of Maine to strengthen his reign there. From this marriage he was father of Geoffrey, Isabel (wife of William "The Atheling"), Elias II, Count of Maine and Sibylle, (later wife of William Clito of Normandy and Count Thierry of Flanders). He reorganized the administration and signed peace settlements with the counties that surrounded his territory. In 1120 he joined the crusade where he made a name for himself, as being a good warrior. In 1127 he received a message from the king of Jerusalem, Baldwin II, who proposed a marriage between Fulk and Baldwins daughter and heiress, Melisende. He abdicated in Anjou in favor for his son Geoffrey and married Melisende in 1129. Baldwin gave him the cities Acre and Tyre. Melisende gave birth to a son who was named Baldwin and that was supposed to reign with his parents. After the kings death in 1131 they ruled together, but Fulk soon assumed control of the government and excluded her entirely. As he was also regent of Antioch he married the heiress Constance to Raymond of Poitiers, uncle of Eleonore of Aquitaine. The Count of Jaffa, Hugh II, a cousin of Melisende sided with her and rebelled against him. They later signed a peace contract and Hugh was exiled from the kingdom for 3 years. In 1135 the queen's party took over the government and Fulk's supporters fled. The couple reconciled later and she gave birth to a second son, Amalric. Fulk was able to strengthen the borders in the north and south and built several castles to secure the kingdom against the Muslims under Zengi and the Egyptians. He died during a hunting accident, when his horse stumbled, fell and landed on top of him. Bio by: Lutetia

     "FOULQUES d'Anjou, son of FOULQUES IV "le Réchiin" Comte d'Anjou & his fifth wife Bertrade de Montfort (1092-Acre 10 or 13 Nov 1144). The Gesta Consulum Andegavorum records that "Fulco" was the son of "Fulco Rechin" and "sororem Amalrici de Monte Forti", referring to her as his third wife[273]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Gaufridum iuniorem Martellum et Fulconam" as the two sons of "Fulco"[274]. William of Tyre names him and records his parentage[275]. His parentage is also given by Orderic Vitalis[276]. "Fulco Andegavensis comes" donated property to Angers with the consent of "filiis meis Gaufrido et Fulconello et filia mea Ermengarde" by charter dated 23 Jun 1096[277]. William of Tyre records that Foulques was imprisoned by the Comte de Poitou but released after the intervention of his mother, who was by then queen of France[278]. He succeeded his father in 1109 as FOULQUES V "le Jeune" Comte d'Anjou. "Fulco iunior Andegavensium comes Fulconis comitis filius" donated property to the abbey of Fontevraud with the consent of "Bertrade regina matre meo, Philipo fratre meo" by charter dated to [1109/1112/13][279]. "Fulcho iunior comes Fulchonis comitis filius, frater Martelli Iunioris" donated property to Saint-Aubin d'Angers by charter dated 4 Jan 1113[280]. Orderic Vitalis records that Foulques swore fealty to Henry I King of England, who invested him with the county of Maine, at "Petra Peculata" near Alençon in late Feb 1113, the alliance being confirmed by the betrothal of Henry's son to Foulques's daughter[281]. He later fought with King Henry I over the inheritance of his first wife. William of Malmesbury also records his dispute with King Henry over the latter's retention of the dowry of Foulques’s daughter Alice after her husband died in the Blanche Nef [White Ship][282]. The quarrel finally ended with the marriage of Foulques’s son to the king's daughter in 1128. Orderic Vitalis records that Foulques went on pilgrimage to Jerusalem in 1120 and remained there "for some time attached to the Knights of the Temple"[283]. He left France in early 1129, resigning the county of Anjou to his older son by his first marriage, and landed at Acre in May 1129 before travelling to Jerusalem for his second marriage[284]. He was crowned FOULQUES King of Jerusalem 14 Sep 1131, by right of his second wife. He imposed himself as regent of Antioch after his sister-in-law Alix Ctss of Antioch attempted to reassert her right to the regency after the death of her father. He rescued Pons Count of Tripoli from the castle of Montferrand in 1133, where he had fled after being ambushed by Turkomans in the Nosairi Mountains. He also relieved Antioch which was being threatened by Sawar Governor of Aleppo[285]. Zengi marched on Homs and besieged the castle. King Foulques attempted to relieve the siege, but his army was massacred, and Foulques was obliged to seek refuge in the castle which he was eventually obliged to surrender as the price for his own release[286]. He agreed an alliance with Unur of Damascus in 1139 against Zengi atabeg of Aleppo, who was threatening Damascus, and forced the latter's retreat to Aleppo[287]. King Foulques died after being thrown from his horse during a hunting party[288].

She is named by William of Tyre who also records her parentage[297]. In 1127, her father sent Guillaume de Bures and Guy Brisebarre to France to offer her hand in marriage to Foulques V Comte d'Anjou as part of his plan for her eventual succession to the throne of Jerusalem[298]. "Milisenda filia regis…" subscribed the charter dated Mar 1128 under which "Balduinus…rex Iherusalem Latinorum secundus" granted privileges to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem[299]. She succeeded her father in 1131 as MELISENDE Queen of Jerusalem, crowned with her husband 14 Sep 1131. She founded the convent of St Lazarus at Bethany in 1143, and installed her sister Yvette as abbess[300]. After her husband's death, she and her son Baudouin were crowned as king and queen together 25 Dec 1144, but Queen Melisende assumed the government of the kingdom herself. She took as her adviser her first cousin Manassès de Hierges, Constable of Jerusalem[301]. She was in open breach with her son, after he was crowned again as an adult 2 Apr 1151 at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, without informing his mother. A council agreed that he would rule in Galilee and the northern part of the kingdom, while Mélisende retained Jerusalem and Nablus. King Baudouin demanded Jerusalem from her but she refused. He captured Constable Manassès at his castle of Mirabel in 1152 and expelled him from Palestine, after which his mother was obliged to yield Jerusalem[302]. Queen Mélisende presided over a council of regency in 1157 while her son was absent from Jerusalem on campaign[303]."

     "MELISENDE of Jerusalem, daughter of BAUDOUIN II King of Jerusalem & his wife Morfia of Melitene (-11 Sep 1161). She is named by William of Tyre who also records her parentage[103]. In 1127, her father sent Guillaume de Bures and Guy Brisebarre to France to offer her hand in marriage to Foulques V Comte d'Anjou as part of his plan for her eventual succession to the throne of Jerusalem[104]. "Milisenda filia regis…" subscribed the charter dated Mar 1128 under which "Balduinus…rex Iherusalem Latinorum secundus" granted privileges to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem[105]. She succeeded her father in 1131 as MELISENDE Queen of Jerusalem, crowned with her husband 14 Sep 1131. She founded the convent of St Lazarus at Bethany in 1143, and installed her sister Yvette as abbess[106].

He left France in early 1129, resigning the county of Anjou to his older son by his first marriage, and landed at Acre in May 1129 before travelling to Jerusalem for his second marriage[111]. He was crowned as FOULQUES King of Jerusalem 14 Sep 1131, by right of his wife. He imposed himself as regent of Antioch after his sister-in-law Alix Ctss of Antioch attempted to reassert her right to the regency after the death of her father. He rescued Pons Count of Tripoli from the Castle of Montferrand in 1133, where he had fled after being ambushed by Turks in the Nosairi Mountains. He also relieved Antioch which was being threatened by Sawar Governor of Aleppo[112]. Zengi marched on Homs and besieged the castle of Montferrand. King Foulques went to relieve the siege, but his army was massacred, and he was obliged to seek refuge in the castle which he was eventually obliged to surrender as the price for his own release[113]. He agreed an alliance with Unur of Damascus in 1139 against Zengi atabeg of Aleppo, who was threatening Damascus, and forced the latter's retreat to Aleppo[114]. King Foulques died after being thrown from his horse during a hunting party[115].

HENRY I's widow ADELIZ married in 1138 William d'Aubigny, who the next year, probably as a result, was created Earl of Lincoln. William's father was a Norman immigrant to England in HENRY I's reign. His son, who by this advantageous marriage came into the former Queen's dowry of Arundel Castle, together with its Honour (feudal administrative unit embodying several knight's fees), has been held thereby to have become Earl of Arundel (see also NORFOLK, D). By 1142 he had been deprived of his Earldom of Lincoln and thereafter, indeed even before, was spoken of sometimes as Earl of Arundel and sometimes as Earl of Chichester or Earl of Sussex (see CHICHESTER, E, for elaboration on this point).^{15,13,16,6,1,3,4,2,5,17,18}

     "HENRY of England, son of WILLIAM I "the Conqueror" King of England & his wife Mathilde de Flandre ([Selby, Yorkshire Sep 1068]-Château de Lyon-la-Forêt, near Rouen 1 Dec 1135, bur Reading Abbey, Berkshire[123]). Orderic Vitalis names “Rotbertum...et Ricardum, Willermum et Henricum” as the sons of “Willermus Normanniæ dux” and his wife “Mathildem Balduini ducis Flandrensium filiam, neptem...ex sorore Henrici regis Francorum”[124]. Guillaume of Jumièges records that Duke Guillaume and his wife “Balduinum Flandriæ comitem...filiam regali ex genere descendente...Mathilde” had “filios quatuor Robertum...Willelmum...Richardum...et Henricum”, adding that Henry succeeded his brothers “tam Regi, quam Duci”[125]. Orderic Vitalis records that “Mathildem conjugem suam” gave birth to “filium...Henricum” within one year of her coronation in May 1068[126]. Comte de Coutances: Orderic Vitalis records that “Henricus Clito Constantiniensis comes” visited England to request “terram matris suæ” from his brother King William II, dated to [1088][127]. Guillaume of Jumièges records that ”Henricus” reconquered “comitatum Constantiniensem”, which had been taken from him, with the help of “Richardi de Revers et Rogerii de Magna-villa...Hugo comes Cestrensis”[128]. Orderic Vitalis records that “Henricus clito” governed “Abrincas et Cæsarisburgum et Constantiam atque Guabreium” [Avranches, Cherbourg, Coutances, Gavray][129]. Seigneur de Domfront 1092: Orderic Vitalis records that “Henricus Guillelmi regis filius” captured “Danfrontem oppidum” in 1092[130]. He succeeded his brother 3 Aug 1100 as HENRY I “Beauclerc” King of England, taking prompt action to ensure his succession by taking control of the royal treasure at Winchester. Florence of Worcester records that "iunior frater suus Heinricus" succeeded King William II and was crowned "Non Aug" in Westminster Abbey[131]. Orderic Vitalis records that he was crowned at Westminster Abbey 5 Aug 1100[132]. He married the niece of the last Saxon claimant to the throne of England to appease the English. After consolidating his position in England, he crossed the Channel to subdue Normandy in 1105[133]. He defeated his brother Robert at Tinchebrai and declared himself Duke of Normandy 28 Sep 1106. Henry turned his attention to strengthening the position of the crown in the newly united country, creating the Exchequer to improve control over finances, and ensuring that his own supporters filled the potentially powerful positions of county sheriffs. However, tensions increased with the barons, setting the scene for the civil war which followed Henry's death, his male heir having drowned in the White Ship disaster in 1120. The Chronicæ Sancti Albini records the death "1135 III Non Dec" of "Henricus rex Angliæ"[134]. The Continuator of Florence of Worcester records the death "IV Non Dec" in [1135] and his burial at Reading[135]. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Denis records the death "IV Non Dec" of "Henricus rex Anglorum"[136]. William of Newburgh records the burial of King Henry I "apud Radingam in monasterio"[137].
     "m firstly (Westminster Abbey 11 Nov 1100) EADGYTH of Scotland, daughter of MALCOLM III "Caennmor/Bighead" King of Scotland & his wife Margaret of England (1079-Palace of Westminster 1 May 1118, bur Westminster Abbey[138]). Orderic Vitalis records that their mother sent Eadgyth and her sister Mary to be brought up by her sister Christina, nun at Romsey Abbey[139]. Florence of Worcester records the marriage of King Henry and "regis Scottorum Malcolmi et Margaretæ reginæ filiam Mahtildem" and her coronation as queen in a passage dealing with events in late 1100[140]. She adopted the name MATILDA on her marriage. Orderic Vitalis records that King Henry I married “Mathildem quæ prius dicta est Edith”[141]. Crowned Queen Consort 11 or 14 Nov 1100. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Denis records the death "Kal Mai" of "Matildis Anglorum regina"[142]. The Continuator of Florence of Worcester records the death "Kal Mai " at Westminster of "Mahthildis regina Anglorum", and her burial at Westminster Abbey[143].
     "m secondly (Royal Chapel, Windsor Castle 29 Jan or 2 Feb 1121) ADELISA de Louvain, daughter of GODEFROI V "le Barbu" Duke of Lower Lotharingia, Comte de Louvain & his first wife Ida de Chiny Ctss de Namur ([1103/06]-Afflighem Abbey 23/24 Mar or 23 Apr 1151, bur Afflighem Abbey). The Continuator of Florence of Worcester records the marriage "IV Kal Feb" [1121] of King Henry and "Atheleidem filiam Godefridi ducis Lotharingæ puellam virginem" and her coronation as queen "III Kal Feb"[144]. Orderic Vitalis names her and her father[145]. William of Newburgh records the second marriage of King Henry I and "filiam ducis Lotharingie", noting that the marriage was childless[146]. The Genealogia Ducum Brabantiæ Heredum Franciæ names (in order) "Alaida…Anglorum regina…comitissa de Cleves Ida…[et] Clarissia virgo" as the three daughters of "Godefridus Cum-barba"[147]. The Balduini Ninovensis Chronicon records the marriage of "Henricus rex Anglorum" and "Athelam filiam Godefridi ducis Lotharingie" in 1121[148]. She was crowned Queen Consort at Westminster Abbey 30 Jan or 3 Feb 1121. The Continuatio Chronici Afflegemiensis records that “Godefridus cum barba Dux Lotharingiæ…filia…Aleidis” married “Regi Angliæ” in 1121[149]. The castle and honour of Arundel was settled on Queen Adelisa after her first husband died. She married secondly ([1136/Sep 1139]) William d’Aubigny [de Albini], who was created Earl of Arundel soon after his marriage. Robert of Torigny records that "Willermi de Albinaio quem vocant comitem de Arundel" married "Aelizam reginam relictam Henrici senioris regis Anglorum"[150]. Adelisa became a nun at Affleghem Abbey, near Aalst in Brabant in 1149/50. The Annals of Margan record the death in 1151 of “Adelidis, regina secunda Henrici regis”[151]. The Continuatio Chronici Afflegemiensis records that “Godefridus cum barba Dux Lotharingiæ…filia…Aleidis” died “IX Kal Mai” and was buried at Afflighem after the death of her second husband[152]. The necrology of Lyre monastery records the death "25 Mar" of "Adelicia regina"[153].
     "Mistress (1): ---, a woman from Caen. The name of King Henry's first mistress is not known. Her origin is assumed because her son is styled "Robertus de Cadomo " by Orderic Vitalis. A possible family connection of hers is suggested by the undated charter, arranged with charters dated 1127/28 in the compilation, under which Henry I King of England confirmed an exchange of property between the abbot of Fécamp and "Nigello filio Willelmi, nepote Roberti comitis Gloecestrie filii mei", "Nigellus" donating property "in villa Fiscanni habuit et avus et pater eius"[154]. The wording of the document is incompatible with "Willelmi" being another son of King Henry I. The relationship with Robert Earl of Gloucester must presumably therefore be established through Robert´s mother. The alternatives appear to be that William, father of Nigel, was the son of Robert´s mother by a later marriage (and therefore uterine half-brother of Earl Robert), that William´s wife was her daughter by a later marriage (uterine half-sister of Earl Robert), or that the word nepos denotes a more remote blood relationship and that Nigel was the first or second cousin of Earl Robert. Another relative of Robert Earl of Gloucester was Christiana, who married, as his first wife, William FitzAlan. Orderic Vitalis records that "William fitz Alan castellan and vicecomes of Shrewsbury" married "a niece of Robert Earl of Gloucester"[155]. "William Fitz Alan" donated the fishery of Upton-upon-Severn to Haughmond abbey by undated charter, witnessed by "Walter his brother, Christiana his wife…"[156].
     "Mistress (2): EDITH, daughter of ---. The 1130 Pipe Roll records "Walterus de tribus Minetis" holding land of "Edith matris comitisse de Ptico" in Devonshire[157].
     "Mistress (3): ANSFRIDE, widow of ANSKILL, daughter of --- (-bur Abingdon Abbey). The Chronicle of Abingdon names "Anskillus" and "uxore Anskilli iam defuncti…filio eius…Willelmo" adding that "fratrem regis Henricum" was father of her son "Ricardum", in a later passage naming her "Ansfrida" when recording her death and the donation of the mill at Langford by "Willelmus filius eiusdem…de Anskillo marito suo" for her burial at Abingdon[158]. Her husband was a knight, tenant of Abingdon Abbey, who died following a few days of harsh treatment after being imprisoned by King William II.
     "[Mistress (4): ---. The Complete Peerage suggests that the mother of Sibyl Queen of Scotland was Sibyl Corbet[159], who is shown below as Mistress (5). As explained more fully below under her daughter Queen Sibyl, this suggestion is not ideal from a chronological point of view. In summary, Sibyl Corbet´s son, Renaud Earl of Cornwall, was probably not born before [1110] considering that his marriage is dated to [1141]. If that is correct, the only way in which he could have had the same mother as the queen of Scotland would be if the latter was a young girl at the time of her marriage. In addition, the birth of Herbert FitzHerbert, son of Sibyl Corbet by her marriage, is estimated to [1125/35] (see the document UNTITLED ENGLISH NOBILITY D-K), which appears incompatible with Sibyl also having been the mother of Queen Sibyl. On the other hand, "Robert Corbet" witnessed charters in Scotland which are dated to the reign of King Alexander and the early years of the reign of his brother King David (see UNTITLED ENGLISH NOBILITY A-C). If Robert Corbet had been Queen Sibyl´s maternal grandfather or her maternal uncle, this could account for his presence at the Scottish court at the time.]
     "Mistress (5): SIBYL Corbet, daughter of ROBERT Corbet of Alcester, co Warwick & his [first] wife --- ([1090/95]-after 1157). The Complete Peerage deduces her parentage, relationship with King Henry, and her marriage from a charter, dated to [1163/75], under which her son "Reginaldus, Henrici Regis filius, comes Cornubiæ" granted property to "Willielmo de Boterell, filio Aliziæ Corbet, materteræ meæ" which he had granted to "Willielmo de Boterells in Cornubia, patri…predicti Willielmi" on his marriage, witnessed by "Nicholao filio meo…Herberto filio Herberti, Baldwino et Ricardo nepotibus meis, Willelmo de Vernun, Willielmo fratre meo…Hugone de Dunstanvill…"[160]. She married ([1115/25]) Herbert FitzHerbert. The [1125/35] birth date range estimated for her son Herbert, born from this marriage, indicates that she married after her relationship with the king. The Pipe Roll of 1157 records a payment to "the mother of Earl Reginald" from an estate at Mienes, Sussex[161].
     "Mistress (6): EDITH, daughter of ---. Symeon of Durham names "Rodberto filio Edæ et Henrici regis notho"[162]. The Complete Peerage[163] identifies her as the probable daughter of Forn Sigurdson Lord of Greystoke, Cumberland. If this is correct, she married Robert de Oilly of Hook Norton, constable of Oxford Castle, son of Nigel [III] de Oilly of Hook Norton, Oxfordshire & his wife Agnes --- (-1142). The suggestion is presumably based on the undated charter under which “Robertus Henrici regis filius” donated property to Oseney Abbey, Oxfordshire, with the consent of "Henrici de Oleio fratris mei”[164]. However, “Editha, Roberto de Oilly conjugali copula juncta” donated property to Thame Abbey, for the souls of “Henrici et Gilberti filiorum meorum”, by undated charter witnessed by “Fulco de Oilly, Fulco Luval, Henrico filio Roberti filii Aumari”[165]. If Edith, wife of Robert de Oilly, was the same person as the mother of King Henry´s son Robert, it is unclear why she would not have named her son Robert in this charter.
     "Mistresses (7) - (12): ---. The names of these mistresses of King Henry are not known.
     "Mistress (13): NESTA of South Wales, wife of GERALD FitzWalter of Windsor custodian of Pembroke Castle, daughter of RHYS ap Tewdwr Prince of South Wales & his wife Gwladus ---. Giraldus Cambrensis names "Henricus…regi Henrici primi filius…ex nobili Nesta, Resi filii Theodori filia" in South Wales[166]. She was abducted by Owain son of Cadwgan ap Bleddyn from castle Ceanrth Bychan in 1109.
     "Mistresses (14): ---. The name of this mistress of King Henry is not known.
     "Mistress (15): ISABELLE de Beaumont, daughter of ROBERT de Beaumont Comte de Meulan, Earl of Leicester & his wife Isabelle de Vermandois ([1102/07]-). Guillaume de Jumièges records one illegitimate daughter of King Henry I as daughter of "Elizabeth sorore Waleranni comitis Mellenti"[167]. She married Gilbert FitzGilbert de Clare Earl of Pembroke. Guillaume de Jumièges records that "Giselbertus filius Gisleberti" married “sororem Waleranni comitis Mellenti...Elizabeth” by whom he had “filium primogenitum...Richardum”[168]. Henry II King of England confirmed the donations to the nuns of Saint-Saens by "Isabel comitissa qui fuit uxor Gilleberti comitis" by charter dated to [1172/1182][169]."

     “Adeliza was born about 1104, the daughter of Godfried I 'with the Beard', duke of Lower-Lorraine, comte de Louvain, and his first wife Ida de Chiny. On 29 January 1121 she was married to King Henry I of England. Henry settled on her the castle and Honour of Arundel as her dowry. He had married her after the disaster of 'The White Ship' in 1120 when the king's only legitimate sons, William and Richard, were drowned, leaving him with his only legitimate daughter Matilda, then married to Heinrich V, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. No children were born from Adeliza's marriage to Henry during the fourteen years until the king's death in 1135.
     “In 1138 she married William d'Aubigny, or de Albini, who became known as earl of Lincoln, then as earl of Chichester, and much later as earl of Arundel. Several children were born from this marriage, of whom a son and daughter would have progeny.
     “Adeliza retired in 1150 to a nunnery at Afflighem in South Brabant, where she died and was buried on 23 April 1151, aged about forty-eight. Her husband William d'Aubigny died in 1176.”.³

     "The family of Albini (Aubigny) was from Saint-Martin-d'Aubigny in the present day French département of Manche. After the Norman conquest, the castle of Arundel was first possessed by Roger de Montgommery, who was created an earl in 1067 and is generally recognised as Earl of Shrewsbury. His son, Robert de Bellême Comte d'Alençon and Earl of Shrewsbury lost his English honours and estates after his attainder in 1102. Arundel castle was retained by the crown until it was settled on William de Albini on his marriage to Queen Adelisa, widow of King Henry I, in [1138/39]. He was created Earl of Arundel by King Stephen in [1142], although he is also referred to as Earl of Chichester and Earl of Sussex. On the death without male heirs of Hugh de Albini Earl of Arundel in 1243, the title reverted to the crown. The castle and honour of Arundel were inherited by Hugh’s nephew John FitzAlan, the son of his older sister Isabel. The FitzAlan family did not use the title Earl of Arundel until it was awarded to John's grandson, Richard FitzAlan, in 1289 by King Edward I. After the attainder of Edmund FitzAlan Earl of Arundel in 1326, the title was given to Edmund Earl of Kent, son of Edward I King of England, but it was forfeited once more after the attainder of Earl Edmund in 1330. Richard FitzAlan, son of his predecessor, was fully restored to his honours by King Edward III in 1331. Yet another interval in the tenure of the FitzAlan family followed the attainder of Richard FitzAlan in 1397, after which John de Holand Duke of Exeter was granted the castle and honour of Arundel. It is not clear whether he was ever created Earl of Arundel but, whatever the case, all his honours were forfeited after his own attainder in 1400. After helping King Henry IV to the throne, Thomas FitzAlan was fully restored to his father's honours in 1400 and thereby became Earl of Arundel. The supremacy of the earldom over all other earldoms was confirmed in 1446 after this precedence was challenged by Thomas Courtenay Earl of Devon[1]. The earldom passed to the Howard family after the death in 1580 of Henry FitzAlan Earl of Arundel, the late earl being succeeded by his grandson Philip Howard Earl of Surrey.

     "Godfrey I (German: Gottfried, Dutch: Godfried), born c. 1060, died 25 January 1139, called the Bearded, the Courageous, or the Great, was the landgrave of Brabant, and count of Brussels and Leuven (Louvain) from 1095 to his death and duke of Lower Lorraine (as Godfrey VI – n.b. Godfrey of Bouillon, d. 1100, was Godfrey V, but numbering is uncertain) from 1106 to 1129. He was also margrave of Antwerp from 1106 to his death.
Biography
     "Godfrey was the son of Henry II (c. 1020–1078) and Adela of Orthen (or Betuwe), a daughter of Count Everard of Orthen. He succeeded his brother Henry III who died wounded in a tournament in 1095, and only had young daughters. His widow Gertrude married Theodoric II, Duke of (upper) Lorraine.
     "He first came into conflict with Otbert, Bishop of Liège, over the county of Brunengeruz that both claimed. In 1099, Emperor Henry IV allotted the county to the bishop, who entrusted it to Albert III, Count of Namur. Godfrey arbitrated a dispute between Henry III of Luxembourg and Arnold I, Count of Loon, over the appointment of the abbot of Sint-Truiden.
     "Godfrey was in favour with the emperor and defended his interests in Lorraine. In 1102, he stopped Robert II of Flanders "the Crusader", who was invading the Cambraisis. After the death of the emperor in 1106, his son and successor, Henry V, who had been in rebellion, decided to avenge himself on his father's partisans. Duke Henry of Lower Lorraine was imprisoned and his duchy confiscated and given to Godfrey. After Henry escaped from prison, he tried to retake his duchy and captured Aachen, but ultimately failed.
     "In 1114, during a rift between the emperor and Pope Paschal II, Godfrey led a revolt in Germany. In 1118, the emperor and the duke were reconciled. In 1119, Baldwin VII of Flanders died heirless and Flanders was contested between several claimants, one of whom, William of Ypres, had married a niece of Godfrey's second wife. Godfrey supported William, but could not enforce his claim against that of Charles the Good. Also dead in that year was Otbert. Two separate men were elected to replace him and Godfrey again sided with the loser.
     "By marrying his daughter Adeliza to Henry I of England, who was also the father-in-law of the emperor, he greatly increased his prestige. However, Henry V died in 1125 and Godfrey supported Conrad of Hohenstaufen, the duke of Franconia, against Lothair of Supplinburg. Lothair was elected. Lothair withdrew the duchy of Lower Lorraine and granted it to Waleran of Limburg (c. 1085 – 1139), the son of Henry, whom Henry V had deprived in 1106. Nonetheless, Godfrey maintained the margraviate of Antwerp and retained the ducal title (which would in 1183 become Duke of Brabant).
     "After the assassination of Charles the Good in 1127, the Flemish succession was again in dispute. William Clito prevailed, but was soon fraught with revolts. Godfrey intervened on behalf of Theodoric of Alsace, who prevailed against Clito. Godfrey continued to war against Liège and Namur.
     "Godfrey spent his last years in the abbey of Affligem. He died of old age on 25 January 1139 and was buried in the left aisle of the abbey church. He is sometimes said to have passed in 1140, but this is an error.
Family and children
     "He married Ida of Chiny (1078–1117), daughter of Otto II, Count of Chiny, (c. 1065 – after 1131) and Adelaide of Namur. They had several children:
* Adeliza of Louvain (b. 1103 – d. abbey of Affligem, 23 April 1151) married Henry I, King of England and later William d'Aubigny, 1st Earl of Arundel (1109 – before 1151).
* Godfrey II of Louvain (b. 1107 – d. 13 June 1142), Duke of Lower Lotharingia (Lower Lorraine), Landgrave of Brabant, Count of Brussels and Louvain. He married Lutgardis of Sulzbach (d.a. 1163), daughter of Berenger I of Sulzbach.
* Clarissa (d. 1140).
* Henry (d. in the abbey of Affligem, 1141), monk.
* Ida (d. 1162) married to Arnold I, Count of Cleves (d. 1147).

     Later, he married Clementia of Burgundy (c. 1078 – c. 1133), daughter of William I, Count of Burgundy, and widow of Robert II, Count of Flanders. They had no children.

No source has been identified which indicates Floris’s birth date. However, recent examination of his skeleton has revealed that he was aged between 40 and 50 years old when he died, which would place his birth in [1010/21][325].

     French Monarch. Second of four living children, and second son of Philip III, King of France and Isabella of Aragon. Called Philip the Fair because of his good looks. At the age of two, Philip IV's brother, Louis of France, became the heir apparent to the throne of France when their grandfather, Louis IX, died in 1270. His mother died in 1271, Philip III remarried and had a son, Louis, with his new wife, Mary of Brabant. Louis of France died the same month, poisoned. Although a royal councilor, Pierre de la Broce was hung for the crime, Mary was always a suspect. Philip IV became heir apparent, and Mary's son would be the Count of Evreux. His father arranged his marriage August 16, 1284 to Joan of Navarre; Philip then became Philip I, King of Navarre and Count of Champagne.

     "Philippe IV 'le Bel', king of France, was born in 1268 during the reign of his grandfather Louis IX. Philippe was not yet three at the death of his mother Isabelle of Aragón. His father had just succeeded to the crown as Philippe III, and Philippe and his three brothers saw very little of him as he threw himself grief stricken into campaigning and administrative affairs. This neglect in Philippe's early years manifested itself in his adult personality.
     "In 1274 his father married Marie of Brabant, a beautiful and cultivated woman. In the same year there also arrived at court the two-year-old Jeanne, queen of Navarre, the only child of Enrique I, king of Navarre, and Blanche d'Artois. Jeanne's father had died earlier that year and she was reared with the royal children. As Philippe's elder brother Louis had died in 1276, rumoured to have been poisoned by their stepmother, Philippe became heir to the throne of France. Philippe made his grandfather Louis IX a model for his own behaviour.
     "On 16 August 1284 Philippe married Jeanne, then aged twelve. In a happy marriage of almost twenty years they had seven children of whom three sons and a daughter would have progeny.
     "In 1285 Philippe accompanied his father to the south, campaigning to install his father's brother Charles, comte de Valois on the throne of Aragón. This enterprise was supported by his stepmother and aimed against the king of Aragón, his late mother's brother. When Philippe III died in October 1285, Philippe IV, as the new king, immediately abandoned the venture.
     "In 1294 war with England began a period of conflict, which strained Philippe IV's resources. The following year saw the birth of the Auld Alliance, a series of treaties, offensive and defensive in nature, between Scotland and France aimed specifically against England. The first such agreement, between Philippe and John Baliol, king of Scots, was signed in Paris on 23 October 1295, and was subsequently ratified at Dunfermline the following February.
     "During this period Philippe came into conflict with Pope Boniface VIII. In 1296 the pope prohibited lay taxation of clergy without papal approval. Both Edward I and Philippe retaliated, forcing Boniface VIII to retreat and accept the legitimacy of clerical taxation without the pope's permission. To mollify Philippe IV, the pope supported him against the Flemish, and in 1297 he canonised Philippe's grandfather Louis IX.
     "In 1301 new disputes developed, and in 1303 Philippe pledged to see Boniface VIII judged for heretical words and criminal and immoral deeds with which the pope had been charged. The pope intended to excommunicate Philippe, but on 7 September 1303 in Anagni he was seized by Guillaume de Nogaret, one of Philippe's ministers. Two days later the townsmen freed the pope, who died a month later. The charges against Boniface VIII helped Philippe in negotiations with the next pope, Benedict XI, and even more with his successor, the Gascon-born Pope Clement V, who transferred the papal curia from Rome to Avignon.
     "In 1303 peace was made with England, and as a result Philippe's daughter Isabelle was engaged to the future Edward II, king of England. However, before the peace treaty was signed, Philippe IV intended to crush the Flemish as their count had allied himself with the English king. In 1302 at Kortrijk, he saw a host of his nobles fall in battle. In 1305 he forced a harsh peace treaty on the Flemish that exacted heavy reparations and humiliating penalties.
     "In April 1304 Philippe's wife Jeanne died, and he considered abdicating and assuming the kingship of the Holy Land as head of a crusading order. However, to vent his grief and prove his dedication to God while advancing the material interests of his kingdom impoverished by long years of warfare, in 1306 he expelled all Jews from France, seizing their property and confiscating the monies owed to them.
     "In the early hours of 13 September 1307, Philippe's officers swooped on the houses of the Knights Templar all over France, carrying off their occupants to the royal dungeons. He justified his actions by proclaiming that they had committed heinous crimes, but he was not believed by the kings of England and Aragón, who did not follow his example. He set about obtaining confessions from the Templars by psychological pressure and horrific torture.
     "In 1312 Pope Clement V dissolved the Templar order and transferred their great estates to the rival crusading order of Knights Hospitaller, who became the legal owners only after paying massive and fictitious Templar 'debts' to Philippe. As he stood at the stake, Templar Grand Master Jacques de Molay summoned king and pope to appear with him before God's tribunal; within a year both were dead, and within a generation Philippe IV's three sons Louis X, Philippe V and Charles IV, 'the cursed kings', were all to die without male heirs, bringing the royal line of Capet to an end."³

; Per Enc. of World History:
     "Philip the Fair, so called because of his good looks; reserved, sarcastic, cautious, pious in a formal and ritualistic sense, very conscious of his royal dignity; a “constitutional king” in that he believed himself bound by the law and precedent. He personally “controlled and directed the ordinary operations of government,” with the goal of building a sovereign state in which no territory or authority was exempt from the king's jurisdiction. Non-noble laymen lawyers, trained at Bologna and Montpellier, predominated in the expanding state bureaucracy, but nobles, most of them clergy, held the highest offices. Enquêteurs, working in pairs and with almost viceregal powers, investigated the conduct of local officials, such as the baillis and seneschals (sénéchaux); royal finances, organized in the Chambre de Comptes, superseded the feudal; appeals to the Parlement, the highest court that enforced and interpreted the law, were encouraged.
     "1288-1290: In conflicts with the cathedral chapter of Chartres and with the bishop of Poitiers, Philip pressed for and won from the Church the principle that no territory in the realm is exempt from royal jurisdiction, that all who hold judicial rights over temporal matters hold them from the king; clerical privileges were guaranteed by the king, not by the pope. The principle embodied in this victory, that the king of France was final and supreme judge in all temporal affairs in the realm, provided the royal justification for the later, more serious conflict with Pope Boniface VIII.
     "1293: Philip treacherously confiscated Gascony, which had been temporarily surrendered by Edward as a pledge, after a Gascon-Norman sea fight.
     "1294-1298: War with Edward I over Guienne. Philip announced a war levy on the clergy and followed a protest with a violent anti-papal pamphlet campaign. To finance the war, Philip debased the coinage. He first made an alliance with the Scots (1295) and excluded English ships from all ports. In 1297 Edward invaded northern France, in alliance with the count of Flanders, but the war was brought to a close by a truce negotiated by Pope Boniface VIII.
     "1296-1303: Philip's conflict with Pope Boniface VIII. The bull Clericis laicos (1296) forbade secular rulers to levy taxes on the clergy without papal consent [>]. Philip retorted by forbidding the export of precious metals (a serious threat to the papal finances) and by waging a vigorous propaganda campaign. Boniface, engaged in a feud with the Colonna in Rome and absorbed in Sicilian affairs, gave way and practically annulled the bull (1297). Boniface attempted to seal the peace by his canonization of Philip's grandfather Louis IX. Boniface hoped this act would inaugurate a new period of French-papal cooperation, but the quarrel resumed after the papal jubilee of 1300. Boniface published the bull Ausculta fili (Listen, my son), condemning Philip's administration of his kingdom, rescinding the agreement giving Philip the right to tax the clergy, implying papal sovereignty over France, and summoning all French bishops to a council in Rome. The bull implicitly denied a principle that Philip had long stressed: that all persons, including clergy, are subject to his jurisdiction. Philip responded by summoning the first well-authenticated (April 10, 1302) Estates General of the clergy, nobility, and representatives of the towns, to win national support for his struggle with the pope. The barons and representatives of the towns wholeheartedly supported the king; the clergy, caught between two masters, asked the pope to revoke the summons to a council. Boniface retaliated with the bull (Nov. 18, 1302) Unam sanctam (one holy catholic and apostolic church) that bases papal jurisdiction over laymen on the pope's right to correct sin; the letter could also be interpreted to mean that the Roman curia had final jurisdiction over the temporal affairs of kings [>]. Boniface multiplied threats in trying to get Philip to yield. A French council, using trumped-up charges, accused Boniface of illegally gaining the papacy, of simony, heresy, and sexual perversion, and called for a general church council to depose him. Boniface prepared another bull (to be published Sept. 8, 1303), declaring Philip automatically excommunicated for preventing the French bishops from going to Rome, and stated that Philip had lost all authority and claim to his subjects' fidelity. To prevent publication of the papal letter, Guillaume de Nogaret, Philip's influential councillor, and Sciarra Colonna, one of Boniface's bitterest enemies, forced their way into the Gaetani palace (Sept. 7, 1303) at Anagni (central Italy) and arrested Boniface. This event marks the culmination of Philip's struggle with the pope. Local townspeople released the pope after three days. He was taken back to Rome but died a broken man about a month after this humiliation. Boniface's successor, Benedict XI (1303-4), desperate to gain French friendship, dismissed all blame for the attack at Anagni, restored privileges revoked by Boniface VIII, and renewed the royal right to tax the clergy.
     "1302: Angered by heavy taxes imposed by French army of occupation, Flemish workers at Bruges rebelled and drove out the French garrison. Although not a great victory, this Matin of Bruges reflected Flemish artisan class's deep resentment at French domination. July 11. Flemish infantry crushed aristocratic French cavalry at Courtrai (Battle of the Spurs), killing all leaders of the French army and some of Philip's councillors.
     "1306: Convinced that he had a special duty to achieve unity and purity of faith in France, in response to anti-Semitic popular opinion, and anxious to pay off the debts of the war with England, Philip ordered the arrest of the Jews of France (about 10,000), seized their property, and gave them the choice of conversion or exile. Most chose exile in Flanders, in the Rhenish towns, across the Rhône, or in Spain.
     "1307: The new efficiency of the French government was demonstrated by the suppression of the Order of the Knights Templar, a large, wealthy, and influential religious order that served as Philip's bankers. On Oct. 13, 1307, almost every Templar in France was simultaneously arrested and the order's property seized, in a police action a modern dictatorship might envy. Using false charges (heresy and homosexuality), Philip waged a propaganda campaign, applied horrible tortures, and pressured Pope Clement V to suppress the order.
     "1312: The Order of the Templars was formally abolished by the Synod of Vienne. Its property was transferred to the Hospitalers (except in Spain and in France, where it passed to the crown). Philip made the Temple treasury a section of the royal finance administration."²³ Philippe IV "the Fair/le Bel" (?) King of France and Navarre was also known as Philip IV "the Fair/le Bel" (?) King of France and Navarre.

     Royalty, Queen of Navarra, Countess of Champagne and of Brie, by marriage to Philipp IV also Queen of France. Born in Bar-sur-Seine as the only daughter of Henri I and Blanche de Artois. When her father died in 1274 several cities rebelled and Castile and Aragon were ready to invade Navarra. Blanche asked Philipp III for help who returned the peace in Navarra. In exchange Jeanne was engaged to the kings second son, Philippe. When the kings eldest son died in 1276, Jeanne was sent to Paris to be raised with her future husband. They were married in 1284 at Notre-Dame de Paris and Philippe succeeded his father a year later. She will bear six children in this marriage of which two will die young, three will be French kings and one English queen. She never involved herself in Philipps politics, but governed the Champagne and Navarra personally. When the Count of Bar invaded the Champagne she raised an army and defeated him in the Battle of Commines. She also reconquered Navarra from her Spanish neighbors and guaranteed a lasting peace there. Philipp is the first King of France and Navarra but never visited his southern kingdom. In 1304 she founded the College de Navarre in Paris for students mostly from Champagne and Navarra. She died aged 32 years at Vincennes and is buried at the Franciscan monastery. Her grave was destroyed by a fire in 1580. Bio by: Lutetia

     "Jeanne I, queen of Navarre, comtesse de Champagne, was born at Bar-sur-Seine about 14 January 1271, the daughter of Enrique I, king of Navarre and Blanche d'Artois. On the death of her father in 1274, she became countess of Champagne and queen regnant of Navarre aged just three. Various powers, both foreign and Navarrese, sought to take advantage of the minority of the heiress and the 'weakness' of the female regent, which caused Jeanne and her mother to seek protection at the court of Philippe III 'le Hardi', king of France.
     "On 16 August 1284 in the Notre Dame in Paris Jeanne married the future Philippe IV, king of France, son of Philippe III 'le Hardi', and Isabella of Aragón. In 1285 she became queen consort of France. Jeanne brought to the French crown her rights to Navarre and the countships of Champagne and Brie. She and Philippe had seven children of whom three sons and a daughter Isabelle would have progeny. Their three sons would all rule as kings of France in turn, and Isabelle became queen consort of England.
     "Jeanne was described as having been a plump, plain woman, whereas her beautiful daughter Isabelle resembled her father more in physical appearance. She was said to have been bold, courageous and enterprising. She even led an army against the count of Bar when he rebelled against her. She was a woman of great intelligence and vivacity, a lover of the arts and letters, who founded the famous College of Navarre.
     "Jeanne died in 1305 allegedly in childbirth, although one chronicler accused her husband of having killed her. Her personal physician was the inventor Guido da Vigevano. On her death her rights to Navarre and the countships of Champagne and Brie were transmitted to her eldest son, the future Louis X."“.¹⁵
