She married Louis VII on November 13th, 1160 in Paris, five weeks after his second wife Constance de Castille had died. They both liked each other and she had some influence on him. Louis married his daughters, Marie and Alix, from his first marriage to her brothers, Henri and Thibaut. In 1165 she gave birth to the longed for successor, Philippe. Two girls, Alix and Agnes, were born in 1170 and 1171. Following tradition Philippe was crowned king when he was fourteen. At this time Louis was very ill and Adèle hoped to act as a regent for him if Louis died suddenly. Philippe surprised everyone and claimed the power for himself and choose a wife without his parents consent. Her husband died in 1180 and Philippe became king. During his absence on the crusade she reigned the kingdom following strict rules set by him. After his return to France she quietly retired.

     "Adela of Champagne (French: Adèle; c. 1140 – 4 June 1206), also known as Adelaide, Alix and Adela of Blois, was Queen of France as the third wife of Louis VII. She was the third child and first daughter of Theobald II, Count of Champagne, and Matilda of Carinthia children and had nine brothers and sisters. She was named after her grandmother, Adela of Normandy. She was regent of France in the absence of her son in 1190.
Life
     "When King Louis’ second wife, Constance of Castile, died in childbirth in 1160, King Louis was in search of another wife to bear him a son as he had no male heir as of yet. Five weeks later on November 13, 1160 Adela of Champagne at the age of fifteen became King Louis’ third wife. Adela went on to give birth to Louis VII’s only male heir, Philip II of France and to the Byzantine empress Agnes.
Queen
     "The marriage between Adela and Louis VII served as a peace treaty between one of King Louis’ most rebellious vassals, Theobald II of Champagne who was an incredibly powerful feudal lord of France. The marriage was a way to ensure peace between the crown and Theobald.[2] Four years after their marriage, Adela's coronation was held.
     "Five years into their marriage and a year after her coronation, Adela gave birth to the only son Louis ever had, Philip Augustus, also called Philip “Dieu-Donne” or “God-given” because his birth was long awaited to be Louis successor of an empire that had had such a long lineage of undisputed and unbroken male successors to the French throne. Philip’s birth meant the continuing rule of Capetian monarchs in France.[2]
     "Adela was active in the political life of the kingdom, along with her brothers Henry I, Theobald V, and William of the White Hands. Henry and Theobald were married to daughters of Louis VII and his first wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine.[3] Adela and her brothers kept their political power base after the succession of her son to the throne in September 1180.
Family
     "Adela was the third of ten children and many of her siblings were quite notable. Four of her sisters were married to powerful leaders across Europe. One of her sisters was a nun at Fontevrault. Adela's oldest brother, Henry I, took on the family holdings at his father's passing. This was surprising at the time because the family had other more prosperous holdings that were much more developed. But it was during Henry I's rule that Champagne earned a high place as one of the richest and strongest French principalities.[4]
     "Adela's older brother, Theobald V inherited the holding of Blois from his late father. He married Sybil of Chateaurenault and when she passed, by right of his wife, he was Lord of Chateaurenault. He then married Adela's stepdaughter. He was responsible for leading the first blood libel which resulted in 30-31 Jews being burned at the stake. Her younger brother, William of the White Hands, was a French cardinal. He was the Bishop of Chartres, Archbishop of Sens and Reims. He was also the first Peer of France to carry that title. He made Adela's son, Philip II of France as co-king in 1179 in Rheims The youngest brother of Adela's was Stephen I, Count of Sancerre, which of the holdings that befell the sons at their father's death was the smallest.
Queen dowager
     "Adela and her brothers felt their position threatened when the heiress of Artois, Isabella of Hainault, married Adela's son Philip in April 1180. Adela formed an alliance with Hugh III, Duke of Burgundy, and Philip of Flanders, and even tried to interest Emperor Frederick Barbarossa. War broke out in 1181, and relations became so bad that Philip attempted to divorce Isabella in 1184.
     "Adela acted as regent in 1190 while Philip was away on the Third Crusade. She returned to the shadows when he returned in 1192 but participated in the founding of many abbeys.
     "Queen Adela died on 4 June 1206 in Paris, Île-de-France, France, and was buried in the church of Pontigny Abbey near Auxerre.

     Philip II Augustus was the King of France from 1180 until his death. A member of the House of Capet, Philip Augustus was born at Gonesse in the Val-d'Oise, the son of Louis VII and his third wife, Adela of Champagne. He was originally nicknamed Dieudonné—the God-given—as he was the first son of Louis VII late in his father's life. Philip was one of the most successful medieval French monarchs in expanding the royal demesne and the influence of the monarchy. He broke up the great Angevin Empire and defeated a coalition of his rivals (German, Flemish and English) at the Battle of Bouvines in 1214. He reorganized the government, bringing financial stability to the country and making possible a sharp increase in prosperity. His reign was popular with ordinary people because he checked the power of the nobles and passed some of it on to the growing middle class. In declining health, Louis VII had him crowned and anointed at Rheims by the Archbishop William Whitehands on November 1, 1179. He was married on April 28, 1180 to Isabelle of Hainaut, who brought the County of Artois as her dowry. His father died on 20 September 1180. Philip's eldest son, Louis, was born on 5 September 1187 and inherited Artois in 1190, when Isabelle, his mother, died. Philip went on the Third Crusade (1189–1192) with Richard I of England (1189–99) and the Holy Roman Emperor, Frederick I Barbarossa (1155–90). By the time Acre surrendered on July 12 1191, Philip was severely ill with dysentery which reduced his crusading zeal. Ties with Richard were further strained after the latter acted in a haughty manner after Acre had fallen. Philip II Augustus died 14 July 1223 at Mantes and was interred in Saint Denis Basilica. Philip's son by Isabelle de Hainaut, Louis VIII, was his successor.

; Per Genealogics:
     "Philippe was born in Gonesse on 22 August 1165, the son of Louis VII, king of France and his third wife Alix de Blois. Philippe's father died in 1180 when he was fifteen. In 1180 he was betrothed to the ten-year-old Isabelle of Flanders, comtesse d'Artois, and the nuptials took place in 1184. They had a son Louis in 1187, but in 1190 she died just after giving birth to stillborn twins.
     "After losing his child-wife Philippe II August went on crusade, but he hurried back to marry again for the sake of his dynasty as his son Louis was a sickly child. He needed the daughter of a king, and on 14 August 1193 he married Ingeborg (Isambour), daughter of King Valdemar of Denmark. Arrangements had been made for her to be crowned queen on the day after the nuptials. However, during the wedding night Philippe's feelings changed to revulsion.
     "Before an assembly in Compiègne, fifteen duly sworn witnesses, twelve of them from the king's family, solemnly calculated the degrees of consanguinity between Ingeborg and Philippe's first wife Isabelle of Flanders. This solution was not accepted by Ingeborg's brother, the Danish king, who appealed to Pope Celestine III, claiming the genealogies to be wrong. Abbot William of Ebelholt, a cleric in Denmark, prepared a genealogy of Scandinavian kings, a document which is still preserved today and is one of the sound genealogical sources about early Scandinavian royals. The genealogy demonstrated that Ingeborg was not too closely related with the counts of Flanders, because Adela of Flanders, wife of King Canute IV of Denmark, was not her ancestress. However the pope gave Philippe no more than a warning.
     "The Finnish genealogist M. Sjöström has pointed out recently that in the conflict another relationship had been overlooked. Ingeborg was a 6th generation descendant and Philippe a 5th generation descendant of Jaroslav I of Kiev, a degree of consanguinity that would have been sufficient canonical obstacle to marriage, because in those days marriages were forbidden between persons within seven generations of descent from a common ancestor. Therefore Philippe seems to have been correct in claiming that his marriage with Ingeborg was canonically invalid because of consanguinity.
     "In June 1196 Philippe married the beautiful Agnès de Meran. With Ingeborg still alive this was bigamy. The new pope, Innocent III, ordered Philippe to part from Agnès. Laying France under an interdict, the pope wanted to suspend all religious services. Negotiations were to last fifteen years; in the event, because of an upsurge of the Cathar movement, the interdict was not applied.
     "In 1200 Philippe gave a charter to the University of Paris. In 1201 in Soissons the Church confronted Philippe over his bigamy. However, after a fortnight of argument he departed, taking Ingeborg with him. On 29 July 1201 Agnès de Meran died and Philippe could no longer be regarded as a bigamist. In November of that year, the pope acknowledged the legitimacy of the two children of Philippe and Agnès. In 1205 a 'damsel from Arras' bore him a bastard son. As Philippe would have nothing to do with Ingeborg she was spared the perils of childbearing.
     "As the marriage with Ingeborg had not been consummated the pope was willing to declare it void. However he had not counted on Ingeborg, who maintained that she and Philippe had slept together. To satisfy pope, king and queen, the only solution seemed to be that the queen should take the veil and enter a convent. However in April 1213 Philippe announced he was taking back his wife.
     "Philippe died 14 July 1223 at Mantes and Ingeborg died 29 July 1236 at Corbeil."¹⁰

; Per Enc. of World History:
     "Philip II (Augustus), so called because he greatly expanded the royal domain) began his rule at 14 and had no time for education (he knew no Latin). A calculating realist, perhaps the outstanding figure of his time, he was the consolidator of the monarchy and the founder of the organized state. As the “maker of Paris,” he paved the streets, walled the city, and began the building of the Louvre.
     "1180: A six-year alliance with King Henry II of England enabled Philip to defeat Philip of Artois and the counts of Champagne, to crush a baronial league against him, and to gain recognition for his title to Artois and Vermandois. Philip intrigued with the sons of Henry, welcomed the rebellious Richard (1187), and, joining him, defeated Henry (1189), who died the same year.
     "1182: Philip expelled the Jews from France, but in 1198, convinced that they were a useful source of revenue (taxes on usury), he rescinded the order. Many Christian businesspeople, who also practiced usury and resented Jewish competition, fanned the flames of anti-Semitism.
     "1191: Philip, under pressure of public opinion, joined King Richard on the Third Crusade; eclipsed by Richard, he quarreled with him, returned to France, and intrigued against him with John during his (Richard's) captivity (1192-94).
     "1198: Excommunicated by Pope Innocent III for his divorce of Ingeborg of Denmark, Philip was forced by public opinion to a reconciliation, but sharply refused Innocent's offer of mediation with John, who succeeded Richard (1199).
     "1202-1204: The final duel with John for, and the conquest of, the Angevin lands north of the Loire. On King John's refusal to stand trial as Philip's vassal on charges by Philip's vassal, Hugh of Lusignan, Philip declared John's French fiefs forfeited (1203) and supported John's nephew, Arthur of Brittany. The murder of Arthur (1203) cost John his French support, Château Gaillard was lost (1204), Normandy and Poitou followed, and Philip emerged master of the Angevin lands north of the Loire.
     "New royal officials, the baillis (sénéchaux in the south), paid professionals (often Roman lawyers), superseded the now feudalized pré-vôts as the chief local administrators (financial, judicial, military) on the Capetian lands (c. 1190). In the course of the 13th century, baillis began to be assigned to regular districts (baillages), but they continued to be responsible to and removable by the king. As the royal domain expanded, royal administration was extended to it, and the foundation laid for a professional system.
     "Philip played the barons off against each other, used his position as protector of the Church to weaken them further, and sought the support of the towns and rich bourgeoisie as a balance to the feudality. Part of this process involved the systematization of the royal financesthe regular exaction of feudal aids and obligations due to the crown, as well as the systematic collection of customs, tolls, fines, and fees, though as yet there was no such thing as taxation in the modern sense. The levy of the Saladin tithe (1188) was, however, a forerunner of true taxation. Philip's reign also saw the formation of a semipermanent royal army.
     "1208-1213: The Albigensian-Waldensian Crusade. The Albigensians (Catharists of Albi) and the Waldensians (followers of Peter Waldo) originally represented a reaction of the lower classes against clerical corruption, but the movement was soon espoused by the nobles, who saw in it a chance to appropriate Church lands. Innocent III, after a vain appeal to Philip, proclaimed a crusade against these heretics. Philip took no direct part in the action, but allowed his northern vassals to begin the penetration of the south and thus prepare the way for the advance of the Capetian power. Simon de Montfort (the elder), a baron of the Île de France, emerged as the leader of the crusaders. His victory at Muret (1213) sealed the fate of the brilliant Provençal culture, the leading southern barons, and the heretics. After a long chapter of horrors, the conquest was finally completed in a campaign by Louis VIII (1226). In the reign of Louis IX, the county of Toulouse passed under Capetian administration and the royal domain was extended to the Mediterranean.
     "1213-1214: The great anti-Capetian alliance (John of England, Emperor Otto IV, the counts of Boulogne and Flanders, and most of the feudality of Flanders, Belgium, and Lorraine).
     "1214, July 27: Battle of Bouvines. Philip, in alliance with Emperor Frederick II, defeated the alliance near Tournai and thereby established the French monarchy in the first rank of the European powers, at the same time ruining John of England, assuring Frederick II of the imperial crown, and bringing Flanders under French influence. Militarily speaking, the battle was a triumph of Philip's professional cavalry and bourgeois militia over the older infantry."²⁵

; Per Genealogics: "In April 1170 Isabelle was born at Valenciennes, the daughter of Baudouin V-VIII, count of Hainault and Flanders, and Marguerite of Flanders. In 1179 she was promised in marriage to the son of the count of Champagne. However when the political scene changed, she became engaged to the son of the king of France. The nuptials were to take place when she was of marriageable age, and in 1184 she was judged to be so. However, as the political alliances had again changed, Philippe II August, under the influence of his uncles, tried to break off the marriage before it was consummated. The reason given was consanguinity, but young Isabelle went barefoot through the streets of the city, followed by lepers and the poor, all of whom joined her in demanding her rights outside the palace. Philippe took her back 'out of marital duty and without communicating with her in bed'. In 1187 she gave birth to a son Louis, but she died three years later after giving birth to stillborn twins.”.⁵

Her marriage was arranged by her maternal uncle Philippe Count of Flanders while he was adviser to Philippe II King of France in 1180 after the latter's accession, with Artois as her dowry[517]. She was crowned queen of France 29 May 1180 at the abbaye de Saint-Denis. King Philippe planned to repudiate her in 1186, for lack of a male heir.

William of Tyre (Continuator) names him and specifies that he was nephew of Philippe II King of France[17]. He succeeded his father in 1181 as HENRI II Comte de Champagne et de Brie. Robert of Torigny records the death in 1182 of "Henricus comes Trecensis" and the succession of "Henricus filius eius natus ex filia Ludovici regis Francorum"[18]. He ruled under the regency of his mother during his minority 1181-1186. He left on the Third Crusade and was in command of the siege operations at Acre in 1190[19]. After the murder of Corrado di Monferrato, Comte Henri hurried to Tyre, where he was acclaimed as the suitable candidate to marry Corrado's widow the heiress of the kingdom of Jerusalem, and within two days his betrothal was announced[20]. He succeeded in 1192 as HENRI King of Jerusalem, by right of his wife, but was never crowned king[21]. Together with Richard I King of England, he signed a five year peace treaty with Saladin 2 Sep 1192, under which the coastal towns as far south as Jaffa were ceded to the Christians who were also given the right to visit the holy places in Jerusalem[22]. He appointed Jean of Ibelin as Constable of Jerusalem in 1194, considering that Amaury de Lusignan had forfeited the post after being arrested for supporting the Pisan revolt in Tyre[23]. Following the succession of Amaury de Lusignan as Lord of Cyprus in 1194, the two parties planned an alliance, sealed by the betrothal of Amaury's three young sons to Comte Henri's three young daughters[24]. Comte Henri died after accidentally falling through a window in his palace at Acre[25]. The necrology of Sens cathedral records the death "VIII Id Sep" of "Henricus comes Campanie"[26].

     Hungary Monarch. Born in Esztergom, Hungary, in 1148, he was the second son of King Geza II. In 1161, his father granted him the Duchies of Croatia and after their father's death in 1162, his brother King Stephen III ascended to the throne. When his brother King Stephen III died in 1172, Béla became his rightful heir the throne, with his wife Anna as Queen. Béla was one of the most powerful rulers of Hungary and he was also one of the most wealthy monarchs of Europe of his age. He amended the administration of his kingdom and established the Royal Chancellery in Hungary. In the 1180s, after the death of his first wife, he married Margaret of France and expanded the Byzantine Empire territories. Béla took the cross as a token of his desire to lead a crusade to the Holy Land. However, he could not fulfill his oath, because he fell ill and died on 23 April 1196. He was buried in the Székesfehérvár Cathedral. His remains were confidently identified by archeologists during 19th-century excavations, because a contemporaneous source—Richard of London—wrote of Béla's exceptional height. Béla's skeleton shows that he was 190 centimetres (75 in) tall. Béla's remains were reinterred at the Matthias Church in Budapest. Bio by: John "J-Cat" Griffith

     "Béla was born about 1148, the son of Geisa II, king of Hungary, and Jewfrosinija/Euphrosyne of Kiev, and younger brother of Stefan III, king of Hungary. In 1164 Manuel I Komnenos, emperor of Byzantium, concluded a treaty with Stefan III by which Béla was given the Croatian and Dalmatian territories and sent to Constantinople to be educated at the imperial court. Manuel, who had no legitimate sons, intended that Béla should marry his daughter Maria Komnena and eventually succeed him as emperor. Béla received a Greek name, Alexius, and the title of despot.
     "When Alexios II Komnenos was born as a son of Manuel and his second wife Maria of Antioch, Béla's marriage to Maria Komnena was voided. However Manuel helped negotiate another marriage for him, this time to Agnes of Antioch, daughter of Renaud de Châtillon, prince of Antioch, and Constance, princess of Antioch. Agnes was the half-sister of Maria of Antioch. Béla and Agnes had two sons and two daughters, all of whom would have progeny.
     "In 1173 Béla succeeded his brother Stefan III and was crowned under the influence of Emperor Manuel. As the new king, Béla adopted Catholicism and selected his son Emmerich as his successor. He was a powerful ruler, and his court was counted among the most brilliant in Europe.
     "Agnes died in 1184, and in 1185 Béla married Marguerite de France, daughter of Louis VII, king of France. There was no progeny from this marriage.
     "Béla was a warrior by nature and training, and the death of Emperor Manuel in 1180 left him free to expand Hungarian power in the Balkans. Hungarian troops invaded Byzantine territory at some time before 1183. Béla's attempt to recover Dalmatia led the kingdom of Hungary into two wars against the republic of Venice, but these finally achieved little. He also aided the Serbs against the Byzantine empire. At the time of his death on 23 April 1196 Béla was assisting Alexios III Komnenos Angelos, emperor of Byzantium, in a war against Bulgaria. He was succeeded by both his sons in turn, Emmerich and András II.
     "His remains were confidently identified by archaeologists during late 19th century excavations at the ruined cathedral of Székesfehérvár where the Arpád monarchs had been crowned and buried. Béla's exceptional height, as documented by contemporary sources, rendered the identification certain. Based on the examination of his skeleton he must have been over two metres tall, a really outstanding height at that time. His remains were afterwards reinterred at the Matthias Church in Budapest, with those of his second wife Agnes."³ EDV-24 GKJ-24.

Niketas Choniates names "Stephanum et Belam" as the two sons of "Hunnorum princeps Iazas"[737].

The Chronicon Posoniense records that "Bela frater eius" returned from Greece and succeeded King István[739]. Designated Duke of Croatia and Dalmatia by his father in 1162. Under the peace treaty signed in 1164 between his brother István III and Emperor Manuel I, Béla was confirmed as Duke of Croatia and Dalmatia, and sent to Constantinople (where he converted to the Greek Orthodox religion and adopted the name ALEXIOS) as István's acknowledged successor. He was installed as Duke of Szerem by his brother in 1165. The emperor granted him the title despot, betrothed him to his daughter and acknowledged him as his heir in Byzantium. The record of the synod of 1166 records the presence of “imperatore domino Manuele Comneno...despota...genero...eius domino Alexio...regi...”[740]. In 1169, when his own son Alexios Komnenos was born, Béla was demoted from despot to cæsar. The betrothal was terminated, although Béla remained in Constantinople as a member of the imperial family until 1172, when he succeeded his brother as BÉLA III King of Hungary and reconverted to Roman Catholicism. He was crowned 13 Jan 1174. "Bela III secundi Geyzæ regis filius…Ungariæ, Dalmatiæ, Croatiæ, Ramæque rex" confirmed the possessions of the church of Zagreb by charter dated 1175, witnessed by "Farcasio palatino comite, Subano Bano…"[741]. He remained a loyal ally of Byzantium until the death of Emperor Manuel in 1181, even sending troops to help the emperor fight the Seljuks of Konya in Anatolia in 1176[742]. He recovered Dalmatia, part of Croatia and the region of Sirmium in 1181. Following the murder in 1182 of Maria of Antioch, who was Emperor Manuel's widow and the older half-sister of King Béla's first wife, Béla invaded Byzantine territory in 1183, occupying Beograd and Brani?evo/Barancs. He formed an alliance with Stefan Nemanja Grand Župan of Serbia, sacked Niš and Sardika [Sofija], and moved into Thrace[743]. His relative status as a monarch is shown by his statement of revenues, sent to France during the negotiations for his third marriage, which showed that they were equal to those of his French and English counterparts and only inferior to those of the two emperors[744]. The Gesta Hungarorum records that "Bela Græcus" "rid the country of robbers and brigands" and introduced the practice of submitting petitions in written form, as at the Roman Curia[745]. Béla III King of Hungary granted "totam terram pertinentem ad comitatum Modrus" to "comitis Bartholomæi de Veglia" by charter dated 1193, witnessed by "Dominico curiali comite et eodem de Budrugensi, Andres comite de Suprum, Both comite de Bohar, Egidio comite de Sala, Fulcone comite de Vosvar, --- comite Sanegg [Macario comite de Zaunuch]"[746].

The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Agnetam" as second of the three daughters of "Raynaldus de Castellione uxor…relictam principis Raymundi" and her husband "rex Bela de Hungaria"[755]. The Lignages d'Outremer name "Maria e Joanna" as the two daughters of "Rinaldo de Castellion" and his wife "Costanza…la Nova Princessa", stating that Marie married "el re d'Ungaria", "Maria" presumably being an error for "Agnes"[756]. She lived at the court of Emperor Manuel I[757]. She adopted the name ANNA in Hungary.

The primary source which confirms her parentage and betrothal has not yet been identified. Stiernon suggests that Theodora was the granddaughter of Theodora, daughter of Emperor Ioannes II[759], but this seems to be based on no more than guesswork. According to Kerbl, her betrothal to King Béla must have taken place after the murder of Emperor Andronikos I, with whom King Béla III did not enjoy close relations[760]. It was presumably arranged by Andronikos's successor Emperor Isaakios II Angelos. Theodora became a nun in 1186.

Ralph de Diceto´s Abbreviationes Chronicorum record in 1186 that “Margarita soror regis Francorum” married “Bela regi Hungariæ”[763]. 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"[764]. Her parentage and second marriage are confirmed by a charter dated 1194/95, reciting the consanguinity between Philippe II King of France and his second wife Ingebjörg of Denmark on which their divorce was based, which records that “Belæ Regis Hungariæ” married “sororem Philippi Regis Francorum”[765]. Her first husband's father 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"[766].

Under the peace treaty signed in 1164 between his brother István III and Emperor Manuel I, Béla was confirmed as Duke of Croatia and Dalmatia, and sent to Constantinople (where he converted to the Greek Orthodox religion and adopted the name ALEXIOS) as István's acknowledged successor. He was installed as Duke of Szerem by his brother in 1165. The emperor granted him the title despot, betrothed him to his daughter and acknowledged him as his heir in Byzantium. The record of the synod of 1166 records the presence of “imperatore domino Manuele Comneno...despota...genero...eius domino Alexio...regi...”[740]. In 1169, when his own son Alexios Komnenos was born, Béla was demoted from despot to cæsar. The betrothal was terminated, although Béla remained in Constantinople as a member of the imperial family until 1172, when he succeeded his brother as BÉLA III King of Hungary and reconverted to Roman Catholicism. He was crowned 13 Jan 1174.

He remained a loyal ally of Byzantium until the death of Emperor Manuel in 1181, even sending troops to help the emperor fight the Seljuks of Konya in Anatolia in 1176[742]. He recovered Dalmatia, part of Croatia and the region of Sirmium in 1181. Following the murder in 1182 of Maria of Antioch, who was Emperor Manuel's widow and the older half-sister of King Béla's first wife, Béla invaded Byzantine territory in 1183, occupying Beograd and Brani?evo/Barancs. He formed an alliance with Stefan Nemanja Grand Župan of Serbia, sacked Niš and Sardika [Sofija], and moved into Thrace[743]. His relative status as a monarch is shown by his statement of revenues, sent to France during the negotiations for his third marriage, which showed that they were equal to those of his French and English counterparts and only inferior to those of the two emperors[744]. The Gesta Hungarorum records that "Bela Græcus" "rid the country of robbers and brigands" and introduced the practice of submitting petitions in written form, as at the Roman Curia[745].

     "Agnes was born about 1154, the daughter of Renaud de Châtillon, prince of Antioch by right of his wife, and his first wife Constance, princess of Antioch. In 1170 Agnes went to Constantinople, where her half-sister Maria had been living as the wife of Manuel I Komnenos, emperor of Byzantium.
     "In 1168 Agnes was married to Béla III, the son of Geisa II, king of Hungary, and Euphrosyne of Kiev. In 1164 Béla had been sent to the court of Byzantium to be educated as part of an agreement between the then Hungarian king, Béla's elder brother Stefan III. Manuel, who had no legitimate sons, intended that Béla should marry his daughter Maria Komnena and eventually succeed him as emperor. Béla received a Greek name, Alexius, and the title of despot. However when Alexios II Komnenos was born as a son of Manuel and Maria of Antioch, Béla's marriage to Maria Komnena was voided, but the emperor negotiated a match for Béla with his wife's sister.
     "The new couple went on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem where they made a donation for the Knights Hospitaller. In the summer, after the death of Béla's brother King Stefan III, her husband ascended the throne as King Béla III, and they moved to Hungary. They had two sons and two daughters who would all have progeny.
     "Agnes died in 1184, and was buried in Székesfehérvár. Her remains were confidently identified by archaeologists during the late 19th century excavations at the ruined cathedral of Székesfehévár. They were afterwards reinterred at the Matthias Church in Budapest, with those of her husband."⁶

     “Pierre II was born about 1155, the son of Pierre I de France, sire de Courtenay (himself the son of Louis VI 'the Fat', king of France) and Elisabeth de Courtenay. In 1184 he married Agnès de Nevers, daughter of Gui I, comte de Nevers et de Tonnerre, and Mahaud de Bourgogne, comtesse de Grignon, dame de Vitteaux. Agnès was her father's heir to Nevers and Auxerre, as her brother Guillaume V had died in 1181. She and Pierre had a daughter Mahaut who would have progeny. Agnès died in 1192.
     “Having obtained the counties of Nevers and Auxerre by his first marriage, for his second wife Pierre chose Yolande, daughter of Baudouin V-VIII, count of Hainault and Flanders, and Margarethe of Flanders. Yolande was a sister of Baudouin and Henri of Flanders, who were to become the first and second emperors of the Latin empire of Constantinople. Pierre and Yolande married in June 1193. Of their many children, a son Baudouin II and three daughters would have progeny.
     “Pierre accompanied his cousin, King Philippe August of France, on the Third Crusade in 1190, fought against the Albigensians, and was present at the Battle of Bouvines on 27 July 1214, in which Philippe August decisively defeated the coalition led by the Holy Roman Emperor Otto IV and Dom Ferrante, infante de Portugal.
     “When his brother-in-law, Henri of Flanders, emperor of Constantinople, died without sons in 1216, Pierre was chosen as his successor. On 9 April 1217 he was consecrated emperor by Pope Honorius III, in Rome but in a church outside the walls. Borrowing some ships from the Venetians, he promised in return to conquer Durazzo for them. Failing in this enterprise he sought to make his way to Constantinople by land. On the journey he was seized by the despot of Epirus, Theodore Angelos, and after an imprisonment of two years he died, probably by foul means.”.³ He was Marquis de Namur, Auxerre et Tonnerre.^12,8

He succeeded his father as Seigneur de Courtenay. A charter dated “die festivo de Ramis palmarum” [=10 Apr] 1183 records that “Petrus de Curtiniaco regis Galliæ Philippi patruus” when he was alive donated “villam...Heruauuilla” to Notre-Dame la Royalle de Rosoy, with the consent of “Elisabeth uxor eius et Petrus eorundem maior filius et alii...Robertus, Philippus, Willelmus”[28].

After his defeat by Hervé de Donzy, following their dispute over the château de Gien, Pierre de Courtenay was confirmed as Comte d'Auxerre, Comte de Tonnerre for life in 1199 but was obliged to cede the county of Nevers, as well as his daughter's hand in marriage, to Hervé.

Leaving France, he travelled to Rome where he was crowned 9 Apr 1217 by Pope Honorius III at the Church of San Lorenzo fuori i Muri[30]. He sent his wife and daughters directly to Constantinople, but the Venetians persuaded Emperor Pierre to help recapture Durazzo on his way. After succeeding in this enterprise, he was captured in the Albanian mountains by Theodoros Angelos Lord of Epirus, and disappeared[31] presumably murdered although his fate did not become known until [early 1221][32].

     “Yolande of Flanders was born about 1175, the daughter of Baudouin V-VIII, Graaf van Henegouwen, Graaf van Vlaanderen, and Margarethe van Vlaanderen. Two of her brothers, Baudouin VI-IX and then Henri, were emperors in Constantinople.
     “In June 1193 she married Pierre II de Courtenay, son of Louis VI's son Pierre de France and Elisabeth de Courtenay. They had thirteen children of whom Baudouin II and four daughters would have progeny.
     “After the death of Yolande's brother Henri in 1216 there was a brief period without an emperor, before her husband Pierre II de Courtenay was elected. Pierre II sent Yolande to Constantinople while he fought the despotate of Epirus, during which he was captured. Because his fate was unknown (although he was probably killed), Yolande ruled as regent. She allied with the Bulgarians against the various Byzantine successor states, and was able to make peace with Thedoros I Komnenos Laskaris, emperor in Nicea, who married her daughter Marie in 1219, though Marie died the same year.
     “Yolande also held Namur, which she inherited from her uncle Philippe of Namur in 1212 and left to her eldest son Philippe when she went to Constantinople in 1216.
     “Yolande died in August 1219. She was succeeded by her second son Robert de Courtenay because her first son Philippe did not want the throne. As Robert was still in France at the time, there was technically no emperor until he arrived in 1221.”.⁸ She was Countess of Flanders.

After the murder of Corrado di Monferrato, Comte Henri hurried to Tyre, where he was acclaimed as the suitable candidate to marry Corrado's widow the heiress of the kingdom of Jerusalem, and within two days his betrothal was announced[20]. He succeeded in 1192 as HENRI King of Jerusalem, by right of his wife, but was never crowned king[21]. Together with Richard I King of England, he signed a five year peace treaty with Saladin 2 Sep 1192, under which the coastal towns as far south as Jaffa were ceded to the Christians who were also given the right to visit the holy places in Jerusalem[22]. He appointed Jean of Ibelin as Constable of Jerusalem in 1194, considering that Amaury de Lusignan had forfeited the post after being arrested for supporting the Pisan revolt in Tyre[23]. Following the succession of Amaury de Lusignan as Lord of Cyprus in 1194, the two parties planned an alliance, sealed by the betrothal of Amaury's three young sons to Comte Henri's three young daughters[24].

     Eldest son of Count Thibaut II of Champagne (Count Thibaut IV of Blois) and his wife, Matilda of Carinthia. Husband of Marie of France, the daughter of Louis VII King of France and Eleanor of Aquitane. They were married in 1164 and had four children:
     Henry was a participant in the second Crusade, riding with his father-in-law, the King of France. He carried a letter of recommendation from Bernard of Clairvaux addressed to Manuel I Komnenos, Byzantine Emperor and was present at the assembly with Baldwin III, King of Jerusalem, at Acre on the 24th of June 1148. His father died in 1152, and he became the Count of Champagne by surprisingly choosing to take Champagne, leaving the richer French family holdings to his brothers. He became a very wealthy and powerful man with 2,000 vassals, made Champagne a safe trade center with his protection, and turned Troyes into a renowned literary center.
     Henry returned to the Crusades in 1179 with other French knights, returned by way of Asia Minor (Turkey) and was captured by Sultan Kilij Arslan II and held for ransom. The Byzantine Emperor Manuel I Komnenos paid his ransom, but Henry died soon after his return home, aged 53.
     His oldest son, Henry II, became the Count of Champagne, and in 1192 the King of Jerusalem, at which point the title of Count was passed on to Henry's second son, Theobald.

     “On his father's death in 1152, Henri chose to take Champagne, leaving the family's older holdings (including Blois, Chartres, Sancerre, and Chateaudun) to his younger brothers. At the time this may have been surprising, for the other territories were richer and better developed. Henri must have foreseen the economic possibilities of Champagne, and it is during his rule that the county achieved its high place as one of the richest and strongest of the French principalities.
     “In 1164 he married Marie de France, daughter of Louis VII, king of France, and his first wife Eleanor de Poitou, duchesse d'Aquitaine. Their two sons and two daughters would all have progeny.
     “Henri established orderly rule over the nobles of Champagne, and could fairly reliably count on the aid of some 2,000 vassals, which just by itself made him a power few in France could equal. This order in turn made Champagne a safe place for merchants to gather, and under the count's protection the Champagne Fairs became a central part of long-distance trade and finance in medieval Europe.
     “In addition, Henri's court in Troyes became a renowned literary centre. Walter Map was among those who found hospitality there. The scholar Stephen of Alinerre was among Henri's courtiers, becoming chancellor of the county in 1176.
     “In 1179 Henri went to Jerusalem again with a party of French knights including his relatives Pierre I de France, sire de Courtenay (brother of Louis VII) and Philippe de Dreux, bishop of Beauvais. Henri returned towards Europe by the land route across Asia Minor, and was captured and held to ransom by Kilij Arslan II, Seljuk sultan of Rüm. The ransom was paid by the Byzantine emperor and Henri was released, but he died soon afterwards on 16 March 1181. He was succeeded by his eldest son Henri II. After Henri became king of Jerusalem in 1192, the younger son Thibaut III became count of Champagne.”.² He was Crusader.²

     He was King of the Romans, Emperor Elect, Duke of Spoleto, Duke of Schwaben.³

; Originally, as a younger son, he was destined for the church but in 1193, when he was only seventeen, he preferred the political life and in 1195 his brother, Emperor Heinrich VI, made him Duke of Tuscany then Duke of Schwaben (Suabia) in 1196. In 1197 he married Irene (Maria) Angela, daughter of the Byzantine Emperor.

When his brother Emperor Heinrich VI died in September 1197, Philipp was excommunicated by the church. This added to his troubles by having Heinrich VI's young son acknowledged as King of the Romans (Emperor Elect). Because this nephew, Friedrich II, was only a boy and absent in Sicily, Philipp was persuaded that he himself should accept the kingship. On 8 March 1198 at Mühlhausen, the German princes did elect him as King of the Romans and, on 8 September 1198 at Mainz, he was crowned by the Archbishop of Tarantaise.

However, the opponents of the Hohenstaufen denied the validity of his election and provided their own candidate, Otto of Brunswick. Even though supported by the majority of princes and the French king, he was unable to defeat Otto IV of Brunswick. To put and end to the fighting, the intervention of the reluctant Pope Innocent III was requested. As Philipp was still excommunicated and, as well, the Hohenstaufen had previously threatened the papacy, Pope Innocent III decided in favour of Otto IV of Brunswick on 11 March 1201. At the same time he also placed Philipp's followers under the Church's ban.

Philipp lost a few supporters but also gained others who had previously opposed him. Of these, the most important, Archbishop Adolf of Cologne, recrowned Philipp as King of the Romans in Aachen on 6 January 1205. Gradually Philipp's position improved and, on 27 July 1206, he defeated Otto IV at Wassenberg near Cologne, driving him away from the Rhineland. At the same time, Philipp approached Pope Innocent III and the concessions offered, as well as the collapse of Otto IV's cause, had the church's ban lifted on 1 November 1207. Part of the agreement with the pope included the marriage of one of Philipp's daughters to a nephew of the pope. However, before the settlement could be finalised, Otto von Wittelsbach, who had been promised in marriage to the same daughter, in his fury murdered Philipp on 21 June 1208 at Bamberg.³ GAV-22 EDV-22.

The Flandria Generosa names "Balduinus comes Hainonie" as husband of "Margaretam sororem Philippi", specifying that he succeeded his brother-in-law as count of Flanders[499]. He succeeded his father in 1171 as BAUDOUIN V Comte de Hainaut, and as heir to Henri Comte de Namur et de Luxembourg. He supported Philippe II King of France when war broke out with Philippe Count of Flanders over the inheritance of the counties of Vermandois and Valois in 1183[500]. After the unexpected birth in 1186 of Ermesinde, daughter of Henri Comte de Namur et de Luxembourg, the latter revoked his assurance concerning Baudouin's succession in these two counties. In 1188, Comte Henri was obliged to reinstate Baudouin as his heir after a verdict in the latter's favour from Heinrich VI King of Germany. Comte Baudouin attacked Namur, captured Comte Henri and obtained a confirmation of his position from Emperor Friedrich I, who also secretly created him Marquis de Namur. Under a compromise reached in 1190, Baudouin received Namur immediately, and the expectation of Laroche and Durbuy after the death of Henri; the fate of Luxembourg was not mentioned. The creation of the Marquisate of Namur, and the elevation of Baudouin as Marquis de Namur, was announced at Worms in 1190[501]. Although designated as successor in Flanders by his brother-in-law Philippe Count of Flanders, Philippe II King of France claimed in 1191 that Flanders escheated to the French crown on the death of Count Philippe in default of male heirs. The settlement was mediated by the archbishop of Reims and formalised in the Treaty of Arras[502]. Comte Baudouin was eventually enfeoffed as BAUDOUIN VIII Count of Flanders 1 Mar 1192, on payment of 5,000 silver marks to the French king doing homage to Emperor Heinrich VI King of Germany for the imperial part of Flanders[503]. On the death of his wife in 1194, Baudouin lost Flanders which was inherited by their oldest son. The necrology of Brogne records the death "XVI Kal Jan" of "Balduinus comes Hannonie"[504].

The Annales Elnonenses records the wife of "Balduinus comes Hainonie" being "sororem [Philippus comes Flandrie]"[506]. The Flandria Generosa specifies that Marguerite married "Radulfo filio predicti comitis Radulfi" who contracted leprosy and from whom she was separated[507]. The Chronicon Hanoniense records the marriage "tempore Paschali mense April 1169" of "Balduinus" and "Margharetam…Mathie comitis Boloniensis sororem"[508]. Her second marriage was arranged by her brother Count Philippe in order to improve relations with the county of Hainaut. She succeeded her brother in 1191 as MARGUERITE I Ctss of Flanders. The Annales Blandinienses record the death in 1194 of "Margareta comitissa Flandriæ"[509]. The Chronicon Hanoniense records the death in 1194 of "comitissa Marghareta" and her burial at "Brugis in monasterio Sancti Donaciani"[510].

History
     "He was the son of Baldwin IV, Count of Hainaut. In the winter of 1182 on 1183, the Count of Namur-Luxembourg was seriously ill and completely blind, whereupon Balduin immediately visited him on the Luxembourg. There he was reconfirmed as heir by his uncle and was able to receive the homage of several vassals from him. The succession was confirmed by Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa on 22 May 1184 at the Diet of Pentecost in Mainz, on which Balduin acted as imperial sword bearer. Flanders was acquired via his marriage to his widowed third cousin once removed Margaret I of Flanders, Countess of Flanders in 1169.[1] Namur was acquired from his mother Alice of Namur. He was described as "The Count Baldwin with eyes of blue." [2]

     "Margaret I of Flanders (c. 1145 - died 15 November 1194) was ruling countess of Flanders suo jure from 1191 to her death. She was the daughter of Thierry, Count of Flanders, and Sibylla of Anjou,[1] and the heiress of her childless brother, Philip of Flanders.
Life
     "In 1160 she married Ralph II, Count of Vermandois.[2] Due to his leprosy, the marriage could not be consummated and remained childless. He died of leprosy in 1167 without issue.
     "In 1169 she married Baldwin V, Count of Hainaut,[1] her third cousin once removed.
     "In 1191, her brother, the count of Flanders, died childless, and she as his heir claimed the county of Flanders with the support of her spouse. Her claims was questioned by the king of France who, with support of Ghent, declared Flanders escheated to the crown due to the lack of male heirs, a problem that was not solved until the Treaty of Arras by the mediation of the archbishop of Riems.[3] They met some unrest among the nobility of the area, foremost by her brother's widow, who was given a large dower lands in the coastal and Southern Flanders where she provoked considerable unrest by high taxation.[3]
     "The right of Margaret and her husband to the County of Flanders was not finally acknowledged until 1 March 1192.[3] As was the custom at the time when women became rulers, her spouse was made her co-ruler.
     "As countess, she objected to all foreign legal independence in her lands, and accordingly, she prevented the Hanse merchants living in Bruges from acquiring a separate quarter and rights for themselves in the port of Damme. [4]
     "Margaret died on 15 November 1194; as her husband had become count of Flanders only by marriage, he could not remain sole count, and Margaret was succeeded by their son.[5]

; Per Genealogics:
     "Godfried III was the count of Leuven (or Louvain) and Brussels, landgrave of Brabant, margrave of Antwerp, and duke of Lower Lorraine (as Godfried VIII) from 1142 to his death.
     "He was born about 1141, the son of Godfried II and Lutgardis von Sulzbach. He was an infant at his succession and the petty lords immediately sought to benefit from his minority to increase their own wealth and power. The abbey of Grimbergen was burnt in 1142. Only with the preaching of the Second Crusade was a truce reached.
     "On 30 March 1147 Godfried was present at the coronation of Heinrich Berengar, the son of Konrad III of Germany, in Aachen. When Konrad left on Crusade, the wars began anew in 1148. Peace was elusive until the election of Konrad's successor, Friedrich Barbarossa. By his marriage in January 1155 to Margaretha von Limburg, daughter of Heinrich II, Herzog von Limburg, Graf von Arlon, Godfried united the two most powerful and antagonistic houses in the region. He and Margaretha had two sons of whom Hendrik I would have progeny.
     "In 1159 Godfried embarked on a decade-long war with his vassals, the Berthout. In 1171 he was at war with Hainault, where he was defeated. At that point he associated his son Hendrik with the ducal throne. In 1172 Margaretha died, and in 1175 he married Imagina von Looz, daughter of Ludwig I, Graf von Looz, Burggraf von Mainz, and Agnes von Metz, and they had two sons who would both have progeny.
     "In 1180 Godfried married his son Hendrik to Mathilde de Boulogne, a niece of Philippe d'Alsace, count of Flanders. With this marriage he yielded the counties of Brussels and Aerschot.
     "He left Hendrik behind as regent when he went on Crusade between 1182 and 1184. In the interim, Barbarossa gave Hendrik the title of Duke of Brabant. Godfried died on 21 August 1190, leaving an increased patrimony. He had built the fortress of Nedelaer. The ducal title was transmitted to his son by the Diet of Schwäbisch Hall."⁴



; Per Wikipedia:
     "Godfrey III (1142 – died 21 August 1190) was count of Louvain (or Leuven), landgrave of Brabant, margrave of Antwerp, and duke of Lower Lorraine (as Godfrey VIII) from 1142 to his death.
Origins
     "He was the son of Godfrey II and Lutgarde of Sulzbach.[1] He was still an infant at his succession (therefore called dux in cunis) of which a few Brabantian vassals sought to take advantage to become independent of the duke (Wars of Grimbergen, 1141–1159).
Career
     "On 30 March 1147, Godfrey was present at the coronation of Henry Berengar, son of Conrad III of Germany, in Aachen. When Conrad left on Crusade, war began anew in 1148. Peace was elusive until the election of Conrad's successor, Frederick Barbarossa. By marriage to Margaret, daughter of Henry II of Limburg, Godfrey united two powerful and antagonistic houses in the region. Their son was Henry I, Duke of Brabant.
     "In 1159 Godfrey ended the war with the Berthout, lords of Grimbergen, by burning their impressive motte at Grimbergen. In 1171, Godfrey was at war with Hainaut, but was defeated. In 1172, he bought the County of Aarschot from its wayward count Godfried III, which in future generations would give rise to the dynasty of the Dukes of Aarschot that remain to this day. In 1179, he gave his son Henry in marriage to a niece of Philip of Alsace, Count of Flanders.
     "Between 1182 and 1184 Godfrey went on a Jerusalem campaign. In the interim, Barbarossa granted Henry the title "Duke of Brabant". Godfrey died in 1190, on 10 or 21 August. He left an increased territory and built the fortress of Nedelaer (near Vilvoorde). The ducal title was transmitted to his son at the Diet of Schwäbisch Hall (September 1190).
Marriages & progeny
     "Godfrey married twice:
     "Firstly to Margaret of Limbourg, daughter of Henry II, Duke of Limburg, in 1158, by whom he had two children:[2]
     "Secondly Godfrey married Imagina of Loon, daughter of Louis I, Count of Loon, by whom he had two children:[2]

; Per Genealogics:
     “Matthieu was born about 1138, the son of Thierry d'Alsace, count of Flanders, and Sibylla d'Anjou. He was a supporter of Henry 'the Young King', son of King Henry II, and received lands in England.
     “Before 1160 he married Marie de Blois, daughter of Stephen de Blois, king of England, and Matilda, comtesse de Boulogne et de Lens. When Marie's brother William II was killed in battle in 1159, she became his heiress as comtesse de Boulogne, and Matthieu became count of Boulogne in her right. They had two daughters, Ida and Mathilde, who would both have progeny, but the marriage ended in annulment in 1169. Before her marriage she had been abbess of Romsey when she succeeded her brother, which was the ground given for the annulment. She returned to a convent in Saint-Austrebert, where she died on 25 July 1182. Shortly after the annulment Matthieu, still count of Boulogne, married Eleonore de Vermandois, widow of Etienne II de Sancerre, seigneur de Saint-Brisson, Châtillon-sur-Loing, and daughter of Raoul I 'le Vaillant', comte de Vermandois et de Valois, and his third wife Lauretta of Flanders. However but this marriage did not result in progeny.
     “Matthieu died on 25 July 1173, fighting at the siege of Drincourt (now Neufchatel-en-Bray), in the 1173-4 revolt of Henry II of England's sons, under the leadership of his brother Philippe, count of Flanders. Wounded by a crossbow bolt, he did not recover. He was succeeded by his daughter Ida.”.⁴ He was Count of Boulogne (by right of his first wife.)²²

     "MATHIEU de Flandre ([1137]-killed in battle Driencourt 25 Dec 1173, bur Abbaye de Saint-Josse). The Genealogica Comitum Flandriæ Bertiniana names (in order) "Philippum, Matheum, Petrum et tres filias" as the children of "Theodericus filius ducis Alsatie [et] Sibillam"[435]. The Annales Blandinienses record "Matheus frater eius [=Philippus comes Flandriæ] Boloniensis comes" taking part with his brother in a military expedition against Holland in 1166[436]. He succeeded in 1160 as Comte de Boulogne, by right of his wife. He led the Flemish contingent of Louis VII King of France against Henry II King of England and was mortally wounded by an arrow at the siege of the château de Driencourt in Normandy[437]. Robert of Torigny records the death in 1173 of "Mathæus comes Boloniæ frater Philippi comitis Flandrensis" from wounds received during the siege of "castri Dringeust"[438]. His burial place is confirmed by the donation by Philippe Count of Flanders for the soul of "fratris Mathei…Bolonie comitis" to the abbey of Saint-Josse by charter dated 1178 which states that the latter was buried in the church[439]. The Flandria Generosa specifies that he was buried "apud Sanctum Iudocum"[440].

The Flandria Generosa names "Mariam filiam Stephani regis Anglie" as wife of Mathieu[441]. She is named daughter of King Stephen by Matthew Paris, when he records her marriage[442]. The Genealogica comitum Buloniensium names "Mariam abbatissam" as daughter of "Stephano, filio Stephani Blesensis comitis" and his wife Mathilde, specifying that "Matheus filius Theoderici comitis Flandrensis, licet illicite, duxit abbatissam" and that they were parents of two daughters[443]. She became a novice at Lillechurch Priory, Kent, later transferred to Romsey Abbey, Hampshire where she became a nun between 1148 and 1155. She was elected abbess of Romsey in 1155. She succeeded her brother in 1159 as MARIE Ctss de Boulogne-sur-Mer. Her future husband abducted her from the convent and forced her to marry him. Pope Alexander III wrote to Henri Archbishop of Reims, dated 18 Dec 1161, regarding the abduction and marriage of "M. filius…comitis Flandrensis" and "monialem…abbatissam", but the document does not name the abbey from which she was abducted[444].

The Chronicon Hanoniense names "Aenoram Radulphi comitis Viromandie filiam" as wife of "Godefridum [filium Alidis comitissa Hanonensis…cum viro Balduino comite]", and in a later passage refers to her subsequent marriages to "Willelmo comiti Nivernensi…[et] Matheo comiti Boloniensi…[et] comiti Bellimontis in Francia Matheo"[445]. Robert of Torigny records the marriage in 1170 of "uxorem eius [=Willermo comite Nivernensi] sororem…comitissæ Flandrensis" and "Mathæus frater Philippi comitis Flandrensium comes Boloniæ"[446]. The Flandria Generosa refers to the second wife of Mathieu as "sororem Flandrensis comitisse"[447]. She claimed the succession to Vermandois on the death of her sister in 1183, and succeeded in 1186 as Ctss de Valois. She succeeded as Ctss de Vermandois in 1192.

     Marie of Boulogne was the Countess of Boulogne from 1159 to 1170. She also held the post of Abbess of Romsey for five years until her abduction by Matthew of Alsace, who forced her to marry him. Marie was born to King Stephen of England and his wife Matilda I, Countess of Boulogne.
     Matthew of Alsace abducted Marie from the abbey in 1160, and forced her to marry him in defiance of her religious vows. He therefore became jure uxoris Count of Boulogne and co-ruler. On 18 December 1161, Pope Alexander III wrote a letter to the Archbishop of Rheims in which he discussed Marie's abduction by Matthew of Alsace and her subsequent constrained marriage. The couple had two daughters:
     Marie's marriage to Matthew was annulled in 1170. This was the same year that she gave birth to their youngest daughter, Mathilde in Louvain. Following the annulment, Marie re-entered the religious life as a Benedictine nun at St. Austrebert, Montreuil, where she died on 25 July 1182 at the age of about 46. Her former husband Matthew continued to reign as Count of Boulogne until his death in 1173, when their eldest daughter Ida succeeded as countess. Following the death of Ida's daughter, Matilda II, the county of Boulogne eventually passed to Adelaide of Brabant, daughter of Marie's second daughter, Mathilde.

     BIRTH     1100, Navarra, Spain
     DEATH     21 Nov 1150 (aged 49–50), Lorca, Provincia de Navarra, Navarra, Spain
     García Ramirez, sometimes García IV,V, VI or VII (died 21 November 1150, Lorca), called the Restorer (Spanish: el Restaurador), was Lord of Monzon and Logrono, and, from 1134, King of Navarre. He "restored" the independence of the Navarrese crown after 58 years of union with the Kingdom of Aragon.
     García was born in the early twelfth century. His father was Ramiro Sanchez of Monzon, a son of Sancho Garces, illegitimate son of García Sanchez III of Navarre and half-brother of Sancho IV. His mother Cristina was a daughter of Rodrigo Diaz, better known as El Cid.
     When Aragon, which had from 1076 been united to Navarre, lost its warrior king Alfonso the Battler and fell into a succession crisis in 1134, García managed to wrest Navarre from his Aragonese cousins. He was elected in Pamplona by the bishops and nobles of the realm against the will of Alfonso. That Alfonso, in drawing up a will, had ignored his distant relation (of an illegitimate line), is not unsurprising given the circumstances. Alfonso had nearer male kin in the form of his brother Ramiro. Besides that, since Alfonso seems to have disregarded Ramiro as well, the choice of an illegitimate descendant of Sancho the Great would undoubtedly have aroused the opposition of the Papacy to the succession.
     Ramiro did succeed Alfonso in Aragon, because the nobles refused to enact the late king's unusual will. His accession did raise protest from Rome and was not uncontested within Aragon, much less in Navarre, where García was the chosen candidate once the testament of Alfonso was laid aside. Rome does not seem to have opposed him, but neither does he seem to have had much support within Aragon, while Ramiro strongly objected to his election in Navarre. In light of this, the Bishop of Pamplona granted García his church's treasure to fund his government against Ramiro's pretensions. Among García's other early supporters were Lop Ennechones, Martinus de Leit, and Count Latro, who carried out negotiations on the king's behalf with Ramiro. Eventually, however, the two monarchs reached a mutual accord — the Pact of Vadoluongo — of "adoption" in January 1135: García was deemed the "son" and Ramiro the "father" in an attempt to maintain both the independence of each kingdom and the de facto supremacy of the Aragonese one.
     In May 1135, García declared himself a vassal of Alfonso VII. This simultaneously put him under the protection and lordship of Castile and bought recognition of his royal status from Alfonso, who was a claimant to the Battler's succession. García's submission to Castile has been seen as an act of protection for Navarre which had the consequence of putting her in an offensive alliance against Aragon, which thus forced Ramiro to marry, to forge an alliance with Raymond Berengar IV of Barcelona and to produce an heir, now that García, his adoptive son, was out of the question. On the other hand, García may have been responding to Ramiro's marriage, which proved beyond a doubt that the king of Aragon was seeking another heir than his distant relative and adopted son.
     Before September 1135, Alfonso VII granted García Zaragoza as a fief. Recently conquered from Aragon, this outpost of Castilian authority in the east was clearly beyond the military capacity of Alfonso to control and provided further reasons for recognition of García in Navarre in return for not only his homage, but his holding Zaragoza on behalf of Castile. In 1136, Alfons was forced to do homage for Zaragoza to Ramiro and to recognize him as King of Zaragoza. In 1137, Zaragoza was surrendered to Raymond Berengar, though Alfonso retained suzerainty over it. By then, García's reign in Zaragoza had closed.
     Sometime after 1130, but before his succession, García married Marguerite de l'Aigle. She was to bear him a son and successor, Sancho VI, as well as two daughters who each married kings. The elder, Blanche, born after 1133, was to marry Raymond Berengar IV, as confirmed by a peace treaty in 1149, in spite of the count's existing betrothal to Petronilla of Aragon, but García died before the marriage could be carried out. Instead she married Sancho III of Castile. The younger, Margaret, married William I of Sicily. García's relationship with his first queen was, however, shaky. She took on many lovers and showed favoritism to her French relatives. She bore a second son named Rodrigo, whom her husband refused to recognize as his own. On 24 June 1144, in Leon, García married Urraca, called "La Asturiana" (the Asturian), illegitimate daughter of Alfonso VII by Guntroda Perez, to strengthen his relationship with his overlord.
     In 1136, García was obliged to surrender Rioja to Castile but, in 1137, he allied with Alfonso I of Portugal and confronted Alfonso VII. They confirmed a peace between 1139 and 1140. He was thereafter an ally of Castile in the Reconquista and was instrumental in the conquest of Almería in 1147. In 1146, he occupied Tauste, which belonged to Aragon, and Alfonso VII intervened to mediate a peace between the two kingdoms.
     García died on 21 November 1150 in Lorca, near Estella, and was buried in the cathedral of Santa Maria la Real in Pamplona. He was succeeded by his eldest son. He left one daughter by Urraca: Sancha, who married Gaston V of Béarn. He left a widow in the person of his third wife, Ganfreda Lopez.
     García left, as the primary monument of his reign, the monastery of Santa Maria de la Oliva in Carcastillo. It is a fine example of Romanesque architecture.

; Per Genealogics:
     "Garcia VI, king of Navarre, was born about 1099, the son of Ramiro Sanchez de Navarre, lord of Monzon, and Cristina Rodriguez, the daughter of Rodrigo Diaz 'El Cid'. His father was a son of Sancho Garcés, lord of Uncastillo y Sanguesa, illegitimate son of Garcia V 'el de Nájera', king of Navarre, and half-brother of Sancho IV 'el Penalen', king of Navarre.
     "When Aragón, which had been united to Navarre, lost its warrior king Alfonso I 'the Battler' and fell into a succession crisis in 1134, Garcia managed to wrest Navarre from his Aragónese cousins. He was elected in Pamplona by the bishops and nobles of the realm against the terms of Alfonso's testament. That Alfonso, in drawing up a will, had ignored his distant relation (of an illegitimate line), is not surprising given the circumstances. Alfonso had nearer male kin in the form of his brother Ramiro. In addition, since Alfonso seems to have disregarded Ramiro as well, the choice of an illegitimate descendant of Sancho 'the Great' would undoubtedly have aroused the opposition of the papacy to the succession.
     "Ramiro did succeed Alfonso in Aragón, because the nobles refused to enact the late king's unusual will. At the siege of Bayonne in October 1131, three years before his death, Alfonso published a will leaving his kingdom to three autonomous religious orders based in Palestine and politically largely independent of the pope: the Knights Templars, the Hospitallers, and the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre, whose influences might have been expected to cancel one another out. The will has greatly puzzled historians, who have read it as a bizarre gesture of extreme piety uncharacteristic of Alfonso's character, one that effectively undid his life's work.
     "Ramiro's accession did raise protest from Rome and was not uncontested within Aragón, much less in Navarre, where Garcia was the chosen candidate once the testament of Alfonso was laid aside. Rome does not seem to have opposed him, but neither does he seem to have had much support within Aragón, while Ramiro strongly objected to his election in Navarre. In light of this, the bishop of Pamplona granted Garcia his church's treasure to fund his government against Ramiro's pretensions. Among Garcia's other early supporters were Lop Ennechones, Martinus de Leit, and Count Latro, who carried out negotiations on the king's behalf with Ramiro. Eventually, however, the two monarchs reached a mutual accord - the Pact of Vadoluongo - of 'adoption' in January 1135; Garcia was deemed the 'son' and Ramiro 'the father' in an attempt to maintain both the independence of each kingdom and the de facto supremacy of the Aragónese one.
     "In May 1135 Garcia declared himself a vassal of Alfonso VII, king of Castile and León. This simultaneously put him under the protection and lordship of Castile and bought recognition of his royal status from Alfonso, who was a claimant to the succession to Alfonso I in Aragón. Garcia's submission to Castile has been seen as an act of protection for Navarre which had the consequence of putting her in an offensive alliance against Aragón, which thus forced Ramiro to marry, to forge an alliance with Raymund Berengar IV, conde de Barcelona, and to produce an heir, now that Garcia, his adoptive son, was out of the question. On the other hand, Garcia may have been responding to Ramiro's marriage, which proved beyond a doubt that the king of Aragón was seeking an heir other than his distant relative and adopted son.
     "Before September 1135 Alfonso VII granted Saragossa to Garcia as a fief. Recently conquered from Aragón, this outpost of Castilian authority in the east was clearly beyond the military capacity of Alfonso to control and provided further reasons for recognition of Garcia in Navarre in return for not only his homage, but his holding Saragossa on behalf of Castile. However in 1136 Alfonso was forced to do homage for Saragossa to Ramiro and recognise him as king of Saragossa. In 1137 Saragossa was surrendered to Raymund Berengar, though Alfonso retained suzerainty over it. By then Garcia's brief reign in Saragossa had closed.
     "Some time after 1130, but before his succession, Garcia married Marguerite de l'Aigle, daughter of Gilbert, seigneur de l'Aigle, and Julienne du Perche. She was to bear him a son and successor, Sancho VI, as well as two daughters who each married kings: the elder, Blanca, born after 1133, married Sancho III 'el Deseado', king of Castile, while the younger, Margarita, named after her mother, married Guglielmo I, king of Sicily. Garcia's relationship with his first queen was, however, shaky. She took on many lovers and showed favouritism to her French relatives. She bore a second son named Rodrigo whom her husband refused to recognise as his own. She died in 1141, and on 24 June 1144 in León, Garcia married Urraca Alfonso, called 'La Asturiana' (the Asturian), illegitimate daughter of Alfonso VII, king of Castile and León, by Gontroda Pérez, to strengthen his relationship with his overlord. Garcia and Urraca became the parents of a daughter Sanchia who would have progeny.
     "In 1136 Garcia was obliged to surrender Rioja to Castile, but in 1137 he allied with Afonso I 'o Conquistador', king of Portugal, and confronted Alfonso VII. They confirmed a peace between 1139 and 1140. He was thereafter an ally of Castile in the _Reconquista_ and was instrumental in the conquest of Almeria in 1147. In 1146 he occupied Tauste, which belonged to Aragón, and Alfonso VII intervened to mediate a peace between the two kingdoms.
     "Garcia died on 21 November 1150 in Lorca, near Estella, and was buried in the cathedral of Santa Maria in Pamplona. He was succeeded by his son Sancho VI.
     "Garcia left, as a monument of his reign, the monastery of Santa Maria de La Oliva in Carcastillo. It is a fine example of Romanesque architecture."⁷

The "Corónicas" Navarras name "al rey don García de Navarra, que dixieron Garçía Remíriz" as the son of "l'ifant don Romiro" and his wife[560]. The Crónica Latina names “el rey de Navarra [García] Ramírez, hijo del infante Ramiro, que fue hijo del infante Sancho de cierta dueña, hijo del rey García” and adds that it was said that he was the vassal of king of Castile alter he suceded to the throne[561]. The Crónica de San Juan de la Peña records that "el infant Don Garcia fillo de Don Ramiro, fillo de Don Sancho, rey de Nauarra que fué, el que mató su hermano Remon" (which confuses García Ramírez's paternal grandfather with the latter's legitimate half-brother) was proposed as king of Navarre in particular by "Don Sancho de la Rosa, vispo de Pamplona, et de Ladron fillo de Ennego Veliz, et de Guillem Aznariz Doteiça, et de Exemen Aznarez de Torres…et Don Ffernan Enneguer Delet"[562]. He succeeded his father in 1116 as Señor de Monzón y Logroño. On the death of Alfonso I "el Batallador" King of Aragon and Navarre in 1134, the late king's brother Ramiro succeeded as king of Aragon. However, Navarre succeeded in separating from Aragon under the leadership of García, who succeeded as GARCÍA VI "el Restaurador" King of Navarre. The succession and division of territories was confirmed under the Pact of Vadoluongo in Jan 1135[563]. The "Corónicas" Navarras record that "el rey don Garcia de Navarra" died "viespra de santa Çecilia" after ruling 15 years, in 1178, another manuscript in the series recording the death "VI Kal Dec…apud Loricam" of "Garssias rex Pampilonensis"[564].
