The Annales Gradicenses record the death in 1141 of "Bela rex Ungarorum" and the accession of his son[683]. He succeeded his father in 1141 as GÉZA II King of Hungary, under the regency from 1142 of his maternal uncle Beloš of Serbia during which time Hungarian ties with Serbia were strengthened[684]. "Geica rex Ungariæ" restored "abbatiæ montis Pannoniæ", founded by "Sancti regis Stephani" and withdrawn by "rege Colomano et filio suo rege Stephano", by charter dated 1142, subscribed by "Belus dux, Calanus comes, Gereon comes, Paulus, Vamoldus comes, Cadas comes"[685].

Hungarian troops assisted Géza's maternal uncle Uroš II Grand Župan of Serbia in his defence against Byzantium, but the Byzantines won a decisive victory on the River Tara in 1150. The following year, Emperor Manuel Komnenos declared war on Hungary, besieged Zemun but withdrew without occupying Hungarian territory[688]. Peace was negotiated with Emperor Manuel in 1156[689]. During the reign of Géza II, large-scale German colonisation took place in Transylvania[690]. The necrology of Salzburg St Rudpert records the death "II Kal Jun" of "Geutse Ungarorum rex"[691]. The Chronicon Posoniense records the death in 1162 of "Geyza rex"[692]. The Chronicon Dubnicense records the death "Kal Jun" in 1161 of "Geysa" and his burial "Albe"[693].

     “Geisa II, king of Hungary, was born in Poland about 1130, the son of Béla II of Hungary and Jelena of Serbia. He succeeded his father as king of Hungary in 1141, but because he was still a minor, his maternal uncle, Belos of Rascia, duke of Hungary, served as regent of the kingdom, helped by his sister, Queen Jelena of Hungary. Geisa faced challenges from Boris, the son of King Kálmán's adulterous queen Jevfemija Vladimirovna of Kiev, who disputed his claim to the throne.
     “In 1146 Geisa married Jewfrosinija/Euphrosyne of Kiev, daughter of Mstislav I, grand duke of Kiev and Ljubawa Dimitriewna Sawiditsch. They had five children, of whom three would have progeny: Béla III, Elisabeth and Helene.
     “Geisa developed a reputation as a well-respected king whose nobles did not dare to scheme against him. The power and courage of his army was also admired and Geisa did not hesitate to involve himself in the wider politics of Europe. He supported the Welf party against the Hohenstaufen, and defeated Heinrich II of Austria in battle in 1146. He also gave military support to his brother-in-law and distant cousin Isjaslaw II, grand duke of Kiev, and fought a war against Manuel I Komnenos, emperor of Byzantium, from 1149 to 1155. After a failed attempt to achieve power in Rascia, his uncle Belos awarded himself the Banate of Croatia in 1142, ruling until 1158.

     “Euphrosyne was the first daughter of Mstislav I, grand duke of Kiev, and his second wife Ljubawa Dimitriewna Sawiditsch. In 1146 she was married to King Geisa II of Hungary, who had come of age shortly before. He was the son of King Béla II of Hungary and Jelena of Serbia. They had five children of whom their son Béla III and two daughters would have progeny.
     “During her husband's reign Euphrosyne did not intervene in the politics of the kingdom, but after his death in 1162 her influence strengthened over their son, King Stefan III. The young king had to struggle against his uncles Laszlo II and Stefan IV to save his throne, and Euphrosyne took an active part on his behalf. She persuaded Wladislaw II, king of Bohemia, to give military assistance to her son against the invasion of Manuel I Komnenos, emperor of Byzantium.
     “Euphrosyne's favourite son was the youngest, Geisa. Therefore, when King Stefan III died in 1172, she was planning to ensure his succession against her older son Béla who had been living in the court of the Emperor Manuel I Komnenos. However, Béla returned and was crowned on 13 January 1173, although Archbishop Lukas of Esztergom refused to recognise his coronation. Shortly afterwards, King Béla III had his brother Geisa arrested, which increased the tension between Euphrosyne and her son. Although Geisa soon managed to escape from captivity, probably with Euphrosyne's help, in 1177 he was arrested again.

     "CONSTANCE of Antioch, daughter of BOHEMOND II Prince of Antioch & his wife Alix of Jerusalem ([1127]-[1163/67], bur St Mary, Josaphat). Her name and parentage are recorded by William of Tyre[123]. The Lignages d'Outremer name "Costance" as daughter of "Beymont…prince" and his wife, recording her marriage to "Reimont le fill au comte de Poitiers"[124]. She succeeded her father in 1130 as CONSTANCE Pss of Antioch, under the regency successively of her mother, her maternal grandfather and her mother’s brother-in-law Foulques d'Anjou King of Jerusalem. Her succession was challenged by Roger II King of Sicily, as nearest male heir, but he was unable to press his claim due to more urgent business in southern Italy. "Fulco rex Hierosolymitanus rector ac bajulus principatus Antiocheni filiæque Boamundi II iunioris" confirmed a donation to the church of the Holy Sepulchre by charter dated Sep 1134[125]. Her first marriage was arranged by Foulques d'Anjou King of Jerusalem, in secret from her mother who had offered her hand to Manuel Komnenos, son of Emperor Ioannes II[126]. She succeeded her mother [after 1136] as Lady of Latakieh and Jabala. She rejected three potential candidates as her second husband proposed by Baudouin III King of Jerusalem: Yves de Nesle Comte de Soissons, Gauthier de Fauquemberghes Châtelain de Saint-Omer, and Raoul de Merle[127]. She also rejected Ioannes Dalassenos Rogerios [Jean Roger the Norman] who had been proposed by Emperor Manuel I[128]. "Raimundus I princeps Antiochenus" donated property to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, with the consent of "uxoris Constantiæ", by charter dated 19 Apr 1140[129]. William of Tyre records her second marriage[130]. The Lignages d'Outremer name "Rinaldo de Castellion" as second husband of "Costanza…la Nova Princessa[131]. When her second husband was taken prisoner in 1160, Constance claimed that power in Antioch had reverted to her. However, Baudouin III King of Jerusalem declared her son Bohémond as the rightful prince under the regency of Patriarch Aimery. Constance appealed to Emperor Manuel I, who sent ambassadors to Antioch to negotiate a marriage between her daughter and the emperor, their presence alone being sufficient to re-establish Constance's rule in Antioch[132]. Following riots in the city, Pss Constance was exiled in 1163 and her son installed in her place[133]. Runciman specifies that Constance appealed to Konstantinos Dukas Kalamános as Governor of Cilicia for help when she was exiled, but this appears incorrect as Kalamános was only appointed Governor in 1167[134]. Her date of death is not known, but in a charter dated 1167, her son called himself "Prince of Antioch, Lord of Latakieh and Jabala"[135] which was his mother's dower, implying that she had died by then. Bohémond III Prince of Antioch confirmed donations to the church of St Mary, Josaphat, confirming that "mater sua Constantia, frater Raynaldus et soror Philippa" were buried there, by charter dated Sep 1181[136].
     "m firstly ([Apr/May] 1136) RAYMOND de Poitiers, [illegitimate] son of GUILLAUME IX Duke of Aquitaine [GUILLAUME VII Comte de Poitou] & [his mistress Amauberge [Dangerose] ---] (-killed in battle near Inab 28 Jun 1149). William of Tyre names "domini Wilelmi Pictaviensium comitis filius" when recording his marriage, specifying that he was then living at the court of Henry I King of England[137]. The primary source which names his mother has not yet been identified. However, he is not named in other sources as a legitimate son of Guillaume IX. It is therefore reasonable to suppose that he was born from the duke's relationship with Amauberge "Dangerose". This question is discussed in more detail in the document AQUITANINE DUKES. Raymond arrived in Antioch in Apr 1136. William of Tyre records that his future mother-in-law Alix was led to believe that he had arrived to propose marriage to her, but Constance was kidnapped and married to Raymond by Raoul Patriarch of Antioch[138]. He was immediately installed as RAYMOND Prince of Antioch, by right of his wife[139]. He invaded Armenian territory in 1136 with Baudouin Lord of Marash, but they were driven back by Lewon I Lord of the Mountains [Armenia-Rupen][140]. Emperor Ioannes II besieged Antioch in Aug 1137 and obliged Raymond to swear allegiance to him[141]. "Raimundus…princeps Antiochenus et domina Constantia mea uxor" donated property to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem by charter dated Apr 1140[142]. The emperor launched a new expedition destined for Antioch in 1142, but died en route in Cilicia[143]. After the new Emperor Manuel I refused Prince Raymond's demand for the return of Cilicia to Antioch, Raymond invaded the province[144]. After the arrival in Antioch in Mar 1148 of Louis VII King of France at the head of the French army of the Second Crusade, Prince Raymond was unable to persuade the king to attack the city of Aleppo which was the centre of Muslim power in the region[145]. The Annals of Abul-Feda record that "Nour-ed-Din entreprend le siège de Harem" and defeated and killed "le prince d’Antioch"[146]. William of Tyre records that "Noradinus" beseiged and captured "castrum Harenc" and killed "Antiochia…principem", dated to 1149 from the context[147]. His skull was set in a silver case and sent by Nur-ed-Din to the Caliph of Baghdad as a gift[148].
     "m secondly (before May 1153) as his first wife, RENAUD de Châtillon, son of --- (-beheaded Hattin [Jul/Aug] 1187). The parentage of Renaud is uncertain. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Raynaldus de Castellione super Wainum fluviolum" when recording his arrival at Antioch and marriage to "uxor…relictam principis Raymundi"[149]. William of Tyre names him "Rainaldus de Castellione"[150]. Neither source specifies which Châtillon is referred to. The Chronicle of Ernoul names him "un chevalier, frere au signeur dau Gien sour Loire…Rainaus"[151]. Schlumberger interprets this passage as meaning that Renaud was the brother of Geoffroy de Donzy, whose family is recorded in the mid-12th century as holding the castle of Gien[152]. He identifies "Castellione" as Châtillon-sur-Loing [153]. The Donzy/Gien origin appears unlikely as none of the sources dealing with the Donzy family mention Renaud (see the document BURGUNDY DUCHY). However, as shown in the document CENTRAL FRANCE, "Renaud son of Robert de Châtillon" was recorded in 1086 as nepos of Geoffroy [II] de Donzy. It is therefore likely that Renaud Prince of Antioch was related to this earlier Renaud. Renaud came to Palestine with the army of Louis VII King of France in the Second Crusade, and stayed in Jerusalem in the service of King Baudouin III after the crusaders returned to France in 1149. He accompanied the king to Antioch in 1151[154]. William of Tyre records "Rainaldus de Castellione" among the magnates in Palestine present at the siege of Ascalon in 1153[155]. He was installed as RENAUD Prince of Antioch on his marriage in 1153, by right of his wife. "Rainaldus princeps Antiochenus" confirmed the privileges of the Venetians by charter dated May 1153[156]. He recaptured Alexandretta in 1153 from Thoros II Lord of the Mountains [Armenia-Rupen], after Emperor Manuel promised to finance the operation. The debt was never paid, and Renaud handed the district to the Knights Templars[157]. He made an alliance with Thoros and in 1156 they attacked Cyprus together, captured the island's governor Ioannes Komnenos, and laid waste to the island[158]. He captured Harenc in Feb 1158. Emperor Manuel I invaded Cilicia in 1158, and Prince Renaud submitted to him rather than risk losing a battle. The emperor made his formal entry into Antioch 12 Apr 1159[159]. Prince Renaud was taken prisoner by Majd ed-Din Governor of Aleppo in Nov 1160, and sent to Aleppo where he was kept in prison for 16 years[160]. Bar Hebræus records that "Nour ed-Din" captured "le second prince, mari de la mère de Boémond" in A.H. 544 (1149/50)[161], which misdates his capture. Raymond Count of Tripoli attacked Homs 1 Feb 1175, distracting Saladin from his siege of Aleppo, in return for which the ruler of Aleppo released his remaining Christian prisoners, including Renaud de Châtillon and Joscelin de Courtenay[162]. After their release, Renaud and Joscelin became the focus of the more progressive elements in Palestine, centred around recent arrivals and the Knights Templars[163]. He was installed as Lord of Hebron and Montréal: "Rainaldus, quondam Antioochiæ princeps, nunc vero Hebronensis et Montis Regalis dominus" donated property to the Knights Hospitallers, with the consent of "Stephaniæ uxoris eiusque filiorum", by charter dated Nov 1177[164]. A charter dated 1180 records the donation by "Reginaldus quondam princeps Anthiochensis…Montisregalis et Hebron dominus" of property to the abbey of Notre-Dame de Josaphat with the consent of "uxor mea Stephania…et Hanfredi prefate dominie Stephanie filii et uxoris eius Elisabeth filie regis Jerusalem"[165]. He attacked a Muslim caravan making its way from Cairo to Palestine at end 1186, which put an end to the four-year truce signed by Raymond Count of Tripoli the previous year[166]. He was personally beheaded by Saladin after being captured[167].

     "Constance of Hauteville (1128–1163) was the ruling Princess of Antioch from 1130 to 1163. She was the only child of Bohemond II of Antioch by his wife, Alice of Jerusalem. Constance succeeded her father at the age of two, after he fell in battle, although his cousin, Roger II of Sicily, laid claim to Antioch. Her mother assumed the regency, but the Antiochene noblemen replaced her with her father (Constance's grandfather), Baldwin II of Jerusalem. After he died in 1131, Alice again tried to take control of the government, but the Antiochene barons acknowledged the right of her brother-in-law, Fulk of Anjou, to rule as regent for Constance.
     "Constance was given in marriage to Raymond of Poitiers in 1136. During the subsequent years, Raymond ruled Antioch while Constance gave birth to four children. After Raymond was murdered after a battle in 1149, Fulk of Anjou's son, Baldwin III of Jerusalem, assumed the regency. He tried to persuade Constance to remarry, but she did not accept his candidates. She also refused to marry a middle-aged relative of the Byzantine Emperor Manuel I Komnenus. Finally, she found a love interest and was married to Raynald of Châtillon, a knight from France, in 1153.
     "After her second husband fell into captivity around 1160–1161, Constance wanted to rule Antioch alone, but Baldwin III of Jerusalem declared her fifteen-year-old son, Bohemond III, the lawful prince. Constance disregarded this declaration and took control of the administration of the principality with the assistance of Emperor Manuel. Constance was dethroned in favor of her son shortly before her death.
Early life
     "Born in 1128, Constance was the only child of Prince Bohemond II of Antioch and Alice, the second daughter of King Baldwin II of Jerusalem.[1][2][3] She was named after her paternal grandmother, Constance of France.[4] Bohemond was killed in a battle at the Ceyhan River in February 1130.[5][6] After his death, Alice assumed the regency for Constance.[7] According to rumors spreading in Antioch, Alice was planning to send Constance to a monastery or to marry her off to a commoner.[7] Bohemond's cousin, Roger II of Sicily, regarded himself as Bohemond's lawful successor because he was the senior member of the House of Hauteville.[8][9]
     "The Antiochene noblemen sent envoys to Baldwin II, urging him to come to the principality,[5] but Alice decided to resist her father.[7] The 12th-century historian, William of Tyre, also accused her of seeking assistance from Imad ad-Din Zengi, Atabeg of Aleppo.[7][10] According to William of Tyre's account, her envoys were captured by Baldwin II's soldiers, who had meanwhile reached Antioch.[7] Before long, Alice was forced to beg for mercy from her father.[7] He removed Alice from the regency, ordering her to leave Antioch.[5][11]
Reign
Childhood
     "The Antiochene noblemen acknowledged Baldwin II as regent, swearing fealty to him and Constance.[11] He made Joscelin I, Count of Edessa, her guardian to rule the principality until her marriage.[5][11] Baldwin II died on August 21, 1131, and Joscelin I died a week later.[12][13]
     "Alice again laid claim to the regency.[14] However, most Antiochene lords remained hostile to the idea of a female ruler and sent envoys to Baldwin II's successor, Fulk of Anjou, who was Alice's brother-in-law.[14][15] Alice made an alliance with Joscelin II, Count of Edessa, and Pons, Count of Tripoli, in early 1132.[16][15] Fulk had to travel to Antioch by sea, because Pons did not allow him to march through the County of Tripoli.[14][15] Fulk landed at St. Symeon where the Antiochene barons acknowledged him as regent.[15][17] He appointed Rainald I Masoir, Constable of Antioch, to administer the principality.[17]
     "Fulk returned to Antioch when Zengi dispatched Sawar, governor of Aleppo, to invade the principality in 1132 or 1133.[18] After defeating the invaders, Fulk entered Antioch.[19] Since the principality needed a firm government, the Antiochene noblemen approached Fulk to select a husband for Constance.[20] He chose Raymond of Poitiers, the younger son of William IX, Duke of Aquitaine.[20][21] He did not announce his decision in public because he wanted to prevent Alice and Roger II of Sicily from intervening.[21]
     "Alice's sister, Melisende, Fulk's wife, persuaded Fulk to allow Alice to return to Antioch in 1135.[19] Alice wanted to tighten the relationship of the principality and the Byzantine Empire; therefore, she offered Constance's hand to Manuel, a son of the Byzantine Emperor, John II Komnenos.[19] To prevent the Byzantine marriage, Fulk sent his envoy to France to Raymond of Poitiers to urge him to come to Antioch, which he did, traveling in disguise, because Roger II of Sicily wanted to capture him in southern Italy.[8][22]
First marriage
     "Raymond of Poitiers arrived at Antioch in April 1136.[22] Ralph of Domfront, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, made Alice believe that Raymond came to Antioch to marry her instead of her nine-year-old daughter.[23] However, Constance was kidnapped from the palace, and Ralph of Domfront blessed her marriage to Raymond in the cathedral.[24] With the marriage, Raymond became the ruler of the principality, and Alice retired to Lattakieh.[24]
     "In early 1147 Roger II of Sicily extended an offer to Louis VII of France to transport the French crusaders to the Holy Land during the Second Crusade.[25] Fearing that Roger only wanted to assert his claim to Antioch, Louis VII and his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine (niece of Raymond of Poitiers) declined.[26] Louis and his crusaders came to the principality in March 1148.[27] Before long, rumors spread among the crusaders about a love affair between Raymond and Eleanor.[28] The crusaders tried to convince her husband to launch a campaign against Aleppo, the capital of Nur ad-Din, but Louis VII decided to leave Antioch to Jerusalem, forcing Eleanor to accompany him.[27]
Widowhood
     "Raymond was killed in the Battle of Inab during an expedition against Nur ad-Din Zangi on June 29, 1149.[29] Since Raymond and Constance's four children were still underage, there was no one to "perform the duties of a prince and raise the people from despair", according to William of Tyre.[30] Nur ad-Din invaded the principality and seized all Antiochene territories to the east of the Orontes River.[31] Aimery of Limoges, Latin Patriarch of Antioch, directed the defense, but most noblemen preferred a secular ruler.[31][32] After learning of Raymond's fate, Constance's cousin, Baldwin III of Jerusalem, hurried to Antioch and assumed the regency.[31][33] He also concluded a truce with Nur ad-Din.[31]
     "Baldwin III returned to Antioch in summer 1150.[33] He wanted to persuade Constance to remarry, proposing three candidates (Yves, Count of Soissons, Walter of Saint Omer, and Ralph of Merle), but she declined.[33] Urged by Baldwin III, Constance went to Tripoli in early 1152 to meet him and her two aunts, Melisende and Hodierna.[34] The two ladies tried to persuade Constance to choose among the three candidates, but she returned to Antioch without making a promise to remarry.[34][35][36] According to William of Tyre, Patriarch Aimery convinced Constance to resist, because he wanted to control the government of the principality.[36][37] The Byzantine Emperor Manuel I Komnenos sent his widowed brother-in-law, the middle-aged John Rogerios Dalassenos, to Antioch to marry Constance.[38][36] However, because of his age, she "regarded him with displeasure", according to the contemporaneous John Kinnamos, and refused to marry him.[38]
     "Historian Steven Runciman says that Constance may have refused the candidates proposed by Baldwin III and Manuel I because she had met Raynald of Châtillon, a knight from France.[39] Even though William of Tyre described Raynald as a "knight of common sort", Constance decided to marry Raynald.[40] Their betrothal was kept secret because Constance wanted to obtain Baldwin III's permission for the marriage.[41]
Second marriage
     "After Baldwin sanctioned the marriage, Constance and Raynald married in early 1153.[41] Raynald took charge of the administration of the principality.[39] However, he was unpopular because his subjects regarded him as an upstart.[39] His frequent attempts to raise funds brought him into conflict with Patriarch Aimery and Emperor Manuel I during the subsequent years.[41] The emperor forced Raynald to pay homage to him in the spring of 1159.[42] Raynald was captured and imprisoned by Majd al-Din, governor of Aleppo, during a plundering raid in November 1160 or 1161.[40][43]
     "After her husband fell into captivity, Constance announced her intention to administer the principality, but most Antiochene noblemen preferred a male ruler.[44] Baldwin III of Jerusalem hurried to Antioch and declared Constance's fifteen-year-old son, Bohemond III, the lawful prince, charging Patriarch Aimery with the administration of the principality.[44][45] Constance did not accept Baldwin's decision and protested against it to Emperor Manuel.[46]
     "Manuel dispatched his nephew, Alexios Bryennios Komnenos, and John Kamateros to Antioch to begin negotiations about his marriage to Constance's daughter, Maria.[47] The marriage contract was signed and the emperor's delegates confirmed Constance's position as the ruler of the principality.[47] Baldwin III, who came to Antioch to meet the imperial envoys, did not protest.[47]
     "Constance's son, Bohemond, reached the age of majority in 1163.[48][49] To strengthen her position against her son, Constance sought assistance from Constantine Kalamanos, Byzantine governor of Cilicia.[50] However, the Antiochene barons made an alliance with Thoros II of Cilician Armenia and forced her to leave Antioch.[45] After Constance's removal, Bohemond III took control of the principality.[45] Before long, Constance died, probably in Lattakieh or Jebail, according to Steven Runciman.[51]
Family
     "Constance's first husband, Raymond of Poitiers, was the second son of William IX, Duke of Aquitaine and his second wife, Philippa of Toulouse.[55][56] He was born in 1114.[57] According to William of Tyre, Constance was left with "two sons and as many daughters still underage" when her husband died in 1149.[58][59] Their elder son, Bohemond, was five at the time of Raymond's death.[59] He seized Antioch from his mother in 1163. Constance and Raymond's eldest daughter, Maria, who was born in the late 1140s, was famed for her beauty.[60] She married the Byzantine Emperor Manuel I Komnenos in 1161.[60] Her younger sister, Philippa of Antioch, was given in marriage to Humphrey II of Toron in the late 1160s.[61]
     "Whether the father of Constance's second son, Baldwin, was Raymond of Poitiers or Raynald of Châtillon cannot be determined with certainty.[62][63] Baldwin died fighting at the head of a Byzantine cavalry regiment in the Battle of Myriokephalon on September 17, 1176.[64] It is certain that Raynald fathered Agnes, who became the wife of Béla III of Hungary.[65] Raynald and Constance's second daughter, Alice, became the third wife of Azzo VI of Este in 1204.[66]

     "Constance was born in 1127, the only child and heiress of Boemund II, prince of Antioch, and Alix of Jerusalem. She succeeded her father in 1130 as Constance, princess of Antioch, under the regency successively of her mother, her maternal grandfather Baudouin II du Bourg, king of Jerusalem, and her distant cousin Foulques V d'Anjou, king of Jerusalem. She was challenged by Roger II, king of Sicily, as nearest male heir, but he was unable to press his claim due to more pressing business in southern Italy.
     "In 1136 she married Raimond de Poitou, son of Guillaume VII-IX 'le Jeune', duke of Aquitaine and comte de Poitou, and his mistress Maubergeon/Dangerose de L'Isle-Bouchard. The marriage was arranged by Foulques V d'Anjou, king of Jerusalem, in secret from her mother who had offered Constance's hand to Manuel I Komnenos, son of Johannes II Komnenos Doukas, emperor of Byzantium. After her mother's death in 1137, Constance succeeded her as Lady of Lattakia and Jabala. She and Raimund had five children, of whom their son Boemund III and daughter Maria would have progeny. In 1149 Raimund died in battle, attempting to win back one of his castles from the Moslem commander Nur-ed Din.
     "Constance rejected three potential candidates for her second husband proposed by Baudouin III, king of Jerusalem: Yves de Nesle, comte de Soissons; Gauthier de Faucquemont, châtelain de Saint Omer, and Raoul de Merle. She also rejected Ioannes Dalassenos Rogerios (Jean Roger 'the Norman') who had been proposed by Emperor Manuel I Komnenos. In 1153 she married Renaud de Châtillon, whose parentage is not known with certainty, though some sources give his father as Henri seigneur de Châtillon-sur-Marne and mother Ermengarde de Montjoy. Constance and Renaud had two daughters, Agnes and Alisia, both of whom would have progeny. When Renaud was taken prisoner in 1160, Constance claimed that power in Antioch reverted to her. However, Baudouin III, king of Jerusalem declared his son Boemund the rightful prince under the regency of Patriarch Aimery. Constance appealed to Manuel I Komnenos, emperor of Byzantium, who sent ambassadors to Antioch to negotiate a marriage between her daughter Maria and the emperor, their presence alone being sufficient to re-establish Constance's rule in Antioch. In 1363 she appealed to Konstantinos Kalamános, Byzantine governor of Cilicia, for military support to maintain her position in Antioch. This provoked a riot in the city. Constance was exiled and her son Boemund installed in her place.
     "Constance's date of death is not known with certainty, but some sources place it in 1163. In a charter dated 1167 her son called himself 'Prince of Antioch, Lord of Lattakieh and Jabala', which was his mother's dower, implying she had died by then."¹⁶

; Per Med Lands:
     "CONSTANCE of Antioch, daughter of BOHEMOND II Prince of Antioch & his wife Alix of Jerusalem ([1127]-[1163/67], bur St Mary, Josaphat). Her name and parentage are recorded by William of Tyre[123]. The Lignages d'Outremer name "Costance" as daughter of "Beymont…prince" and his wife, recording her marriage to "Reimont le fill au comte de Poitiers"[124]. She succeeded her father in 1130 as CONSTANCE Pss of Antioch, under the regency successively of her mother, her maternal grandfather and her mother’s brother-in-law Foulques d'Anjou King of Jerusalem. Her succession was challenged by Roger II King of Sicily, as nearest male heir, but he was unable to press his claim due to more urgent business in southern Italy. "Fulco rex Hierosolymitanus rector ac bajulus principatus Antiocheni filiæque Boamundi II iunioris" confirmed a donation to the church of the Holy Sepulchre by charter dated Sep 1134[125]. Her first marriage was arranged by Foulques d'Anjou King of Jerusalem, in secret from her mother who had offered her hand to Manuel Komnenos, son of Emperor Ioannes II[126]. She succeeded her mother [after 1136] as Lady of Latakieh and Jabala. She rejected three potential candidates as her second husband proposed by Baudouin III King of Jerusalem: Yves de Nesle Comte de Soissons, Gauthier de Fauquemberghes Châtelain de Saint-Omer, and Raoul de Merle[127]. She also rejected Ioannes Dalassenos Rogerios [Jean Roger the Norman] who had been proposed by Emperor Manuel I[128]. "Raimundus I princeps Antiochenus" donated property to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, with the consent of "uxoris Constantiæ", by charter dated 19 Apr 1140[129]. William of Tyre records her second marriage[130]. The Lignages d'Outremer name "Rinaldo de Castellion" as second husband of "Costanza…la Nova Princessa[131]. When her second husband was taken prisoner in 1160, Constance claimed that power in Antioch had reverted to her. However, Baudouin III King of Jerusalem declared her son Bohémond as the rightful prince under the regency of Patriarch Aimery. Constance appealed to Emperor Manuel I, who sent ambassadors to Antioch to negotiate a marriage between her daughter and the emperor, their presence alone being sufficient to re-establish Constance's rule in Antioch[132]. Following riots in the city, Pss Constance was exiled in 1163 and her son installed in her place[133]. Runciman specifies that Constance appealed to Konstantinos Dukas Kalamános as Governor of Cilicia for help when she was exiled, but this appears incorrect as Kalamános was only appointed Governor in 1167[134]. Her date of death is not known, but in a charter dated 1167, her son called himself "Prince of Antioch, Lord of Latakieh and Jabala"[135] which was his mother's dower, implying that she had died by then. Bohémond III Prince of Antioch confirmed donations to the church of St Mary, Josaphat, confirming that "mater sua Constantia, frater Raynaldus et soror Philippa" were buried there, by charter dated Sep 1181[136].
     "m firstly ([Apr/May] 1136) RAYMOND de Poitiers, [illegitimate] son of GUILLAUME IX Duke of Aquitaine [GUILLAUME VII Comte de Poitou] & [his mistress Amauberge [Dangerose] ---] (-killed in battle near Inab 28 Jun 1149). William of Tyre names "domini Wilelmi Pictaviensium comitis filius" when recording his marriage, specifying that he was then living at the court of Henry I King of England[137]. The primary source which names his mother has not yet been identified. However, he is not named in other sources as a legitimate son of Guillaume IX. It is therefore reasonable to suppose that he was born from the duke's relationship with Amauberge "Dangerose". This question is discussed in more detail in the document AQUITANINE DUKES. Raymond arrived in Antioch in Apr 1136. William of Tyre records that his future mother-in-law Alix was led to believe that he had arrived to propose marriage to her, but Constance was kidnapped and married to Raymond by Raoul Patriarch of Antioch[138]. He was immediately installed as RAYMOND Prince of Antioch, by right of his wife[139]. He invaded Armenian territory in 1136 with Baudouin Lord of Marash, but they were driven back by Lewon I Lord of the Mountains [Armenia-Rupen][140]. Emperor Ioannes II besieged Antioch in Aug 1137 and obliged Raymond to swear allegiance to him[141]. "Raimundus…princeps Antiochenus et domina Constantia mea uxor" donated property to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem by charter dated Apr 1140[142]. The emperor launched a new expedition destined for Antioch in 1142, but died en route in Cilicia[143]. After the new Emperor Manuel I refused Prince Raymond's demand for the return of Cilicia to Antioch, Raymond invaded the province[144]. After the arrival in Antioch in Mar 1148 of Louis VII King of France at the head of the French army of the Second Crusade, Prince Raymond was unable to persuade the king to attack the city of Aleppo which was the centre of Muslim power in the region[145]. The Annals of Abul-Feda record that "Nour-ed-Din entreprend le siège de Harem" and defeated and killed "le prince d’Antioch"[146]. William of Tyre records that "Noradinus" beseiged and captured "castrum Harenc" and killed "Antiochia…principem", dated to 1149 from the context[147]. His skull was set in a silver case and sent by Nur-ed-Din to the Caliph of Baghdad as a gift[148].
     "m secondly (before May 1153) as his first wife, RENAUD de Châtillon, son of --- (-beheaded Hattin [Jul/Aug] 1187). The parentage of Renaud is uncertain. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Raynaldus de Castellione super Wainum fluviolum" when recording his arrival at Antioch and marriage to "uxor…relictam principis Raymundi"[149]. William of Tyre names him "Rainaldus de Castellione"[150]. Neither source specifies which Châtillon is referred to. The Chronicle of Ernoul names him "un chevalier, frere au signeur dau Gien sour Loire…Rainaus"[151]. Schlumberger interprets this passage as meaning that Renaud was the brother of Geoffroy de Donzy, whose family is recorded in the mid-12th century as holding the castle of Gien[152]. He identifies "Castellione" as Châtillon-sur-Loing [153]. The Donzy/Gien origin appears unlikely as none of the sources dealing with the Donzy family mention Renaud (see the document BURGUNDY DUCHY). However, as shown in the document CENTRAL FRANCE, "Renaud son of Robert de Châtillon" was recorded in 1086 as nepos of Geoffroy [II] de Donzy. It is therefore likely that Renaud Prince of Antioch was related to this earlier Renaud. Renaud came to Palestine with the army of Louis VII King of France in the Second Crusade, and stayed in Jerusalem in the service of King Baudouin III after the crusaders returned to France in 1149. He accompanied the king to Antioch in 1151[154]. William of Tyre records "Rainaldus de Castellione" among the magnates in Palestine present at the siege of Ascalon in 1153[155]. He was installed as RENAUD Prince of Antioch on his marriage in 1153, by right of his wife. "Rainaldus princeps Antiochenus" confirmed the privileges of the Venetians by charter dated May 1153[156]. He recaptured Alexandretta in 1153 from Thoros II Lord of the Mountains [Armenia-Rupen], after Emperor Manuel promised to finance the operation. The debt was never paid, and Renaud handed the district to the Knights Templars[157]. He made an alliance with Thoros and in 1156 they attacked Cyprus together, captured the island's governor Ioannes Komnenos, and laid waste to the island[158]. He captured Harenc in Feb 1158. Emperor Manuel I invaded Cilicia in 1158, and Prince Renaud submitted to him rather than risk losing a battle. The emperor made his formal entry into Antioch 12 Apr 1159[159]. Prince Renaud was taken prisoner by Majd ed-Din Governor of Aleppo in Nov 1160, and sent to Aleppo where he was kept in prison for 16 years[160]. Bar Hebræus records that "Nour ed-Din" captured "le second prince, mari de la mère de Boémond" in A.H. 544 (1149/50)[161], which misdates his capture. Raymond Count of Tripoli attacked Homs 1 Feb 1175, distracting Saladin from his siege of Aleppo, in return for which the ruler of Aleppo released his remaining Christian prisoners, including Renaud de Châtillon and Joscelin de Courtenay[162]. After their release, Renaud and Joscelin became the focus of the more progressive elements in Palestine, centred around recent arrivals and the Knights Templars[163]. He was installed as Lord of Hebron and Montréal: "Rainaldus, quondam Antioochiæ princeps, nunc vero Hebronensis et Montis Regalis dominus" donated property to the Knights Hospitallers, with the consent of "Stephaniæ uxoris eiusque filiorum", by charter dated Nov 1177[164]. A charter dated 1180 records the donation by "Reginaldus quondam princeps Anthiochensis…Montisregalis et Hebron dominus" of property to the abbey of Notre-Dame de Josaphat with the consent of "uxor mea Stephania…et Hanfredi prefate dominie Stephanie filii et uxoris eius Elisabeth filie regis Jerusalem"[165]. He attacked a Muslim caravan making its way from Cairo to Palestine at end 1186, which put an end to the four-year truce signed by Raymond Count of Tripoli the previous year[166]. He was personally beheaded by Saladin after being captured[167].

From Find A Grave (Memorial #1):
     BIRTH     1122, Germany
DEATH     10 Jun 1190 (aged 67–68), Antalya, Turkey
     Holy Roman Emperor. Born in Waiblingen, Germany, Barbarossa was elected King of Germany on March 4th, 1152, succeeding his uncle, Conrad III, and he was further crowned Holy Roman Emperor in 1155. As the son of Frederick of Hohenstaufen, duke of Swabia, and Judith of Bavaria, of the rival Guelph dynasty, Frederick was descended from Germany's two principal families, making him an acceptable choice for the Empire's princely electors as heir to the Imperial crown. Barbarossa undertook six expeditions into Italy, in the first of which he was crowned emperor in Rome by Pope Adrian IV. Thereafter, relations between Emperor and Pope descended into bitter conflict culminating in Frederick's defeat at the Battle of Legnano near Milan (1176) by the pro-Papal Lombard League. After making his peace with Pope Alexander III, Frederick embarked on the Third Crusade (1189) with Philip Augustus of France and Richard I of England; as he and his men had marched through the hot desert, the sight of water so overjoyed him that he jumped into the Saleph river in Cilicia in south-eastern Anatolia, without removing his armor, and drowned. His surviving knights were so distraught that some comitted suicide; others joined the Saracens, convinced that God himself had abandoned them. Some of the surviving knights put Barbarossa's body in a pickle barrel, and planned to take it to Jerusalem, as a small form of victory, but the stench became too foul, and Barbarossa was buried at St Peter's Cathedral in Antioch, the site where the Lance of Longinus had been discovered. The Cathedral was, in later years, burned to the ground. However, Barbarossa is the subject of a sleeping hero legend. He is said not to be dead, but asleep with his knights in a cave in Kyffhäuser mountain in Thuringia, Germany, and that when ravens should cease to fly around the mountain, he would awake and restore Germany to its ancient greatness. According to the story his red beard has grown through the table beside which he sits. His eyes are half closed in sleep, but now and then he raises his hand and sends a boy out to see if the ravens have stopped flying. Bio by: Mongoose

     “Friedrich I Barbarossa was born about 1122, the son of Friedrich II von Hohenstaufen, Herzog von Schwaben, and his first wife Judith of Bavaria. In 1147 he married his first wife Adelheid von Vohburg, daughter of Diepold III, Markgraf von Vohburg. They were divorced without progeny in 1153.
     “Succeeding his uncle Konrad III, Friedrich was elected King of the Romans in 1152. He became the ruler of a very much divided and fragmented empire, threatened from within as well as from outside. Danes, Vikings, Poles and Magyars were invading while rival dukes fought each other instead of the invaders. A further cause for disharmony was the rivalry with the House of Saxony, which had already supplied three German emperors. Complicating matters even further was the fight for supreme power with the Church. In Friedrich's view his power was derived directly from God and merely confirmed, not conferred, by the pope. He needed to secure his power and influence in northern Italy to prevent these Italians from intriguing with the pope. To achieve this he required peace in Germany, so after his election he made a truce with his kinsman, Heinrich 'the Lion', by restoring to him Bavaria, which had been taken by Konrad III.
     “In 1154 he toured the Rhineland and the Palatinate, suppressing feuds and executing every peace-breaker he captured. After this he subdued Boleslav of Poland who had tried to become independent from the Empire.
     “Friedrich Barbarossa, accompanied by a thousand knights, then set out to Italy for his coronation by the English pope, Hadrian IV. First he had to liberate Hadrian from the Roman mob. When Hadrian proclaimed that he had 'conferred' the imperial crown, Friedrich Barbarossa proclaimed throughout the Empire that he had received the crown from God alone.
     “On 10 June 1156 at Würzburg Friedrich married Beatrice de Bourgogne, the only daughter of Renaud III, comte de Macon, comte de Bourgogne, and Agathe de Lorraine. They had twelve children of whom three sons would have progeny. By this marriage Friedrich obtained control over the vast county of Burgundy.
     “Fearing that the northern Italians might ally themselves with the pope, Friedrich appeared in Verona in June 1158 with an army of fifty thousand. Then he besieged Milan and, after he had taken the city, made it pay dues to him. Hadrian IV died and was replaced by Pope Alexander III, as resolute and intelligent as Friedrich Barbarossa. When Friedrich appointed an antipope Victor IV, Alexander III excommunicated the emperor and Milan revolted. This time the population was starved out and the city razed to the ground. Encouraged by Alexander III who had fled to France, the Lombards rebelled against the harsh German administration. Victor IV died and was replaced by another antipope, Paschal III. Friedrich Barbarossa waited three years and then attacked Rome with a large army. Alexander III, having returned from France, this time fled to Sicily. After Friedrich had secured Paschal III in Rome, the plague struck his army and Friedrich was forced to retreat to Germany, crossing the Alps disguised as a servant.
     “In 1176 he returned to Italy to reassert his authority, but was heavily defeated at Legnano; in 1177, Friedrich made peace with Alexander III. Nine years later he arranged the marriage of his son to Constance, heiress presumptive of Sicily. Even though in the beginning of his reign he had tried to befriend Heinrich the Lion, Heinrich had refused to assist in Italy and tried to make his Saxon territory semi-independent within the empire. Enemies of Heinrich complained to Friedrich. When Heinrich ignored the imperial summons, Friedrich occupied and divided Saxony in a lightning campaign, and banished Heinrich to France.
     “During Friedrich's reign Germany prospered; roads were built and new trade routes were opened. Between 1150 and 1175 the number of German towns doubled, a unified coinage was introduced and literature flourished. Nearly seventy years old, Friedrich set out on crusade. A large army was collected and went overland towards the Bosporus while Richard the Lionheart and the French King Philippe went by sea. All went well at first; but when Friedrich Barbarossa reached Byzantine territory his army was attacked and robbed at night. Also food was scarce, as the population had fled, taking everything with them. However the army sent by the Byzantine Emperor to attack Friedrich's force was defeated, after which Friedrich received Byzantine support.
     “Friedrich's army was a year on the road before arriving in Asia Minor, where it was attacked by hostile horsemen. The army marched through the mountains where again there was no food. Half starved they continued, now reduced to six hundred knights. Nevertheless they attacked and conquered Iconium, which had been defended by a much stronger army. Later, with food aplenty, they recovered to continue their way to the Holy Land.
     “There had been a prophecy that Friedrich would die by drowning, another that he would win his empire like a fox, preserve it like a lion, but die like a dog.
     “On 10 June 1190 the army was in Cilicia, part of today's Anatolia, in the intense heat of June when it crossed a fast flowing river. Resting in the burning sun, Friedrich had some food, then decided to bathe in the river. Against advice he went in and his men saw him disappear. When his body was found much later, his knights decided to return home.
     “According to myth, he never died but is simply asleep, one day to return and save Germany from its enemies.”.⁶ GAV-23 EDV-24. Friedrich I "Barbarossa" (?) King of Germany, Holy Roman Emperor was also known as Frederick I "Barbarosa" (?) Holy Roman Emperor.^19,4,1,2

He succeeded in 1147 as FRIEDRICH III Duke of Swabia, resigning in 1152 in favour of his cousin Friedrich, son of Konrad III King of Germany, who succeeded as Duke Friedrich IV (see above). He left Germany in May 1147 with his uncle King Konrad III on the Second Crusade[537]. William of Tyre records him as "Fredericus Suevorum dux…ex fratre primogenitor nepos" in relation to King Konrad[538]. He was designated as successor by his uncle King Konrad shortly before the latter died, and was elected as FRIEDRICH I "Barbarossa" King of Germany at Frankfurt-am-Main 4 Mar 1152, crowned at Aachen 9 Mar 1152. He negotiated the Treaty of Constanz 23 Mar 1153 with Pope Eugenius III, who agreed his imperial coronation[539]. Pope Eugenius died 8 Jul 1153 before the coronation could take place. King of Italy 1154. After refusing the Romans' offer of a secular imperial coronation, he was eventually crowned as Emperor FRIEDRICH I at Rome 18 Jun 1155 by Pope Hadrian IV[540]. He succeeded as Comte de Bourgogne on his second marriage in 1156, de iure uxoris, and received the homage of the Burgundian magnates at Besançon in 1157. In 1157, he invaded Poland and compelled Duke Boles?aw IV to recognise German suzerainty[541]. Tensions in Italy, and particularly with the papacy, came to a head in 1166 when Emperor Friedrich's army marched to Rome where they defeated the Romans at Tusculum, captured the city, and enthroned his own papal candidate Pascal III, although the emperor was obliged to return to Germany as the army was decimated by malaria[542]. He invaded Italy again in 1174, and in May 1176 his troops were defeated at Legnano near Milan. A peace treaty was signed at Venice 24 Jul 1177[543]. On his return from Italy, he was crowned as king of Burgundy ("regnum Arelatense") at Arles 30 Jul 1178, thereby symbolically laying claim to the whole of Burgundy. He took the cross at Mainz 27 Mar 1188, in answer to the appeal of Pope Gregory VIII in Oct 1187 to relieve Jerusalem after its capture by Saladin, although he did not finally leave Germany until May 1189[544]. He received a warm welcome in Hungary and Serbia, but tensions developed with Emperor Isaakios II after he entered Byzantine territory 23 Jun 1189 at Brani?evo[545]. Anxious to protect his own interests, Emperor Isaakios signed a treaty of alliance with Saladin, which worsened the situation. After taking Philipopoulos [Plovdiv] and Adrianople, as well as threatening Constantinople, Emperor Friedrich forced Emperor Isaakios to give him provisions and ships to cross into Asia Minor, which he did in Mar 1190[546]. Friedrich was drowned while preparing to cross the river Calycadnus to enter Seleucia, apparently after falling into the river in heavy armour[547]. His body, ineffectively preserved in vinegar and taken with the army to Palestine, had disintegrated by the time it arrived at Antioch[548].

     “The Third Crusade. Precipitated by the fall of Jerusalem, the Third Crusade was a completely lay and royal affair, despite the efforts of the papacy to regain control. It was supported partly by the Saladin tithe, and was led by the three greatest monarchs of the day: (1) Frederick Barbarossa (a veteran of the Second Crusade) as emperor, the traditional and theoretical military leader of Christendom, headed a well-organized and disciplined German contingent starting from Regensburg (1189) that marched via Hungary, entered Asia Minor, and disintegrated after Frederick was drowned (1190); (2) King Richard I of England; and (3) King Philip II of France, who went by sea. Already political rivals, they quarreled in winter quarters in Sicily (1190-91); Richard turned aside in the spring and took Cyprus, which he sold to Guy de Lusignan. The quarrels of Philip and Richard continued in the Holy Land, and Philip returned to France after the capture of Acre (1191).

She succeeded her father in 1149 but remained under the regency of her uncle Guillaume who imprisoned her and tried to usurp her titles. Friedrich I Barbarossa defeated him and strengthened his influence in Burgundy further by marrying her. The wedding was celebrated in July 1156 in Würzburg and she was crowned german queen in October. Although she was merely a child at the time of her wedding, she grew into a beautiful and intelligent woman. She was crowned empress in August 1167 and eleven years later also Queen of Burgundy. Her three decades lasting marriage was very happy and resulted in eleven children, including the later Emperor Heinrich VI, Otto of Burgundy and Philipp of Swabia.

     "There is some disagreement as to whether or not Thierry was the eldest son of his father's marriage to Gertrude of Flanders - I haven't looked into this closely. Georges Poull in _La Maison ducale de Lorraine devenue la Maison impériale et royale d'Autriche, de Hongrie et de Bohême_ (Nancy, 1991) p. 28 presented what appears at a glance to be good evidence that Thierry's elder brother Simon I, duke of Lorraine was actually his full-sibling. However, Thérèse de Hemptinne in her (biographical) part of 'Thierry d'Alsace, comte de Flandre: biographie et actes' (the latter section by Michel Parisse), _Annales de l'Est_, fifth series 43 (1991) cited Poull for the genealogy while nevertheless stating (p. 83) that Thierry was the eldest son from his parents' marriage. I suspect that Hemptinne had just looked up Thierry in the chapter of Poull's work giving his descendants, rather than cross-checking the ancestry, and took for granted that Simon was his paternal half-brother due to the inheritnace of Flanders through Gertrude to Thierry

     "Thierry d'Alsace was first married to a lady named Suanhilde who died on 4 September 1133. Her family origin is not recorded, although she is usually said - from onomastics alone - to have been daughter of Count Folmar VI of Metz and his wife Suanhilde. This is merely conjecture, and even if unusual names are held to have run so strongly and exclusively in families that a close connection between these women might be assumed, still the younger Suanhilde could just as well have been a niece or cousin of the elder.
     "By his first marriage Thierry had a daughter named Laura (or Laurette) who died in 1170 having married four times - first to Ivan, count of Aalst (Alost), by whom she had a son; secondly to Henry II, count of Arlon & duke of Limburg, from whom she was divorced in 1152; thirdly to Raoul I, count of Vermandois, seneschal of France, who died soon after their marriage; and fourthly to Henry, count of Namur & Luxemburg, from whom she was divorced in 1163. After these vicissitudes, Laura retired to a nunnery and expired after a few chaste years.

     "Thierry was born about 1100, the son of Thierry II, duke of Lorraine, and his second wife Gertrud of Flanders, daughter of Robert I 'the Friesian', count of Flanders. Thierry's mother was the sister of Adele of Flanders, mother of Charles 'the Good', count of Flanders. When Charles was murdered without progeny on 2 March 1127, Thierry contested the county of Flanders with his cousin William Clito (Guillaume Cliton), son of Robert II Curthose, duke of Normandy. William's grandmother Matilda, wife of William the Conqueror, was the sister of Robert 'the Friesian'.
     "The murder of Charles by the Erlembaldi family, hereditary castellans of Brugge with a network of marriage relationships with many Flemish nobles, who felt threatened by Charles' plans to weaken the family's position, created a power vacuum, and civil war broke out. Thierry was recognised by Ghent, Brugge and Ypres, and consolidated his position when William Clito was killed at Alost on 27 July 1128.
     "Thierry proved himself a wise and prudent ruler, encouraging the growth of popular liberty and commerce. By his first wife Swanhilde or Suanhilde he had two children of whom his daughter Lauretta would have progeny. In 1134 he married Sibylla d'Anjou, daughter of Foulques V 'the Young', comte d'Anjou et Maine, king of Jerusalem, and his first wife Eremburge, comtesse de Maine. Sybilla had been married to William Clito in 1123, but this marriage was annulled in 1124. Thierry and Sybilla had six children of whom three sons and a daughter would have progeny.
     "Thierry is recorded as visiting the Holy Land four times. His first was a pilgrimage. Then in 1139 he joined his father-in-law Foulques V of Anjou, now king of Jerusalem, in an invasion of Gilead in Jordan. In 1146 he took part in the Second Crusade and distinguished himself by his exploits. He is recorded at the coastal city of Attalia (now in Turkey) in March 1148, from where he probably joined Louis VII and Eleanor of Aquitaine to Antioch. He is recorded next at the assembly of Foulques' son Baudouin III d'Anjou, king of Jerusalem, at Acre on 24 June 1148. In 1157 he resigned the countship of Flanders to his son Philippe. He then made his fourth visit, a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. In company with Amalric I d'Anjou, who succeeded his older brother Baudouin III as king of Jerusalem, Thierry visited Tripoli and Antioch in 1164. On his return from the Holy Land, Thierry retired to a monastery. He died on 17 January 1168."¹³

     "THIERRY de Lorraine, son of THIERRY II Duke of Lorraine & his second wife Gertrude de Flandre ([1099/1101]-Gravelines 17 Jan 1168). He is named in the Cartulaire de Saint-Bertin, which also specifies his parentage[381]. After the election of Guillaume de Normandie as count of Flanders in Mar 1127, nobles in Gent invited Thierry d'Alsace to intervene. Orderic Vitalis records that he captured Lille, Furnes and Gent[382]. He was recognised as count at Bruges 30 Mar 1128[383]. After Count Guillaume died from injuries received at the battle of Aalst 28 Jun 1128, Thierry was generally accepted as THIERRY I Count of Flanders. He went to Palestine in 1138, and joined Louis VII King of France in Jun 1147 on the Second Crusade[384]. The Annales Blandinienses record that he returned to Palestine in 1157 and in 1164[385], taking part in campaigns with Baudouin III King of Jerusalem during the earlier visit[386]. The Flandria Generosa specifies that "Theodericus comes monarchiam Flandrie" was buried in "cenobio Watinensi"[387]. The necrology of the Prieuré de Fontaines records the death "18 Jan" of "Teodericus comes Flandrie, pater domine Matildis"[388].
     "m firstly SUANHILDE, daughter of --- (-4 Sep 1132). "Suavehildis" is named "uxor enim Theoderici comitis" in the Cartulaire de Saint-Bertin, which records her death and specifies "pro qua ex cognatione consanguinitatis idem erat occulte" without giving further details of the family relationship[389]. The Flandria Generosa names "comitissa etiam Suanildis", when recording her death and the bad luck which resulted from her consanguinity with her husband[390]. No details are known about her parentage so speculation about the precise nature of the family relationship between husband and wife is pointless. "Theoderici…comitis Flandrie…cum generosa uxore mea Suanehilda" confirmed the privileges and possessions of the abbey of Saint-Pierre de Loo by charter dated 1130, subscribed by "Willelmo filio Philippi comitis"[391].
     "m secondly (1134) as her second husband, SIBYLLE d’Anjou, divorced wife of GUILLAUME “Clito” de Normandie Count of Flanders, daughter of FOULQUES V Comte d’Anjou & his wife Aremburge de Maine ([1112/16]-Bethany 1165, bur Bethany, Abbey of St Lazarus). She is named by Orderic Vitalis, who also names her father and specifies that he arranged her (first) marriage as part of the support which he gave to Guillaume de Normandie, on the suggestion of Amaury de Montfort, and that her dowry was the county of Maine[392]. According to Orderic Vitalis, King Henry broke off the marriage "making use of threats and pleas and an enormous quantity of gold and silver"[393]. Both passages in Orderic Vitalis refer only to a betrothal, but a marriage must have taken place otherwise a papal annulment would have been unnecessary. Her father supported her husband against his uncle Henry I King of England, indignant that the latter retained the dowry of his other daughter Alix, married to King Henry's son who had been drowned in the Blanche Nef [White Ship] in 1120[394]. Orderic Vitalis records Sibylle's second marriage[395], as does William of Tyre (who says that she was her father's older daughter)[396]. The Cartulaire de Saint-Bertin records the marriage of "Sibillam comitis Andegavensis filiam" and Thierry after the death of his first wife[397]. She left France with her second husband in Jun 1147 on the Second Crusade[398]. She accompanied her husband to Palestine in 1157 but refused to return with him to Europe in 1158. She became a nun at the convent of St Lazarus at Bethany. After the death of her stepmother Mélisende Queen of Jerusalem in 1161, Ctss Sibylle assumed a position of influence among the royal family of Jerusalem[399]. The Annales Aquicinctini record the death in 1165 of "Sibbilla comitissa Flandrie apud Sanctum Lazarum"[400].

     "Theoderic (Dutch: Diederik, French: Thierry, German: Dietrich;c.?1099 – 17 January 1168), commonly known as Thierry of Alsace, was the fifteenth count of Flanders from 1128 to 1168. He was the youngest son of Duke Theoderic II of Lorraine and Gertrude of Flanders (daughter of Robert I of Flanders). With a record of four campaigns in the Levant and Africa (including participation in the Second Crusade, the failed 1157–1158 siege of the Syrian city Shaizar, and the 1164 invasion of Egypt), he had a rare and distinguished record of commitment to crusading.
Life
     "After the murder of his cousin, Charles the Good, in 1127, Theoderic claimed the county of Flanders as grandson of Robert I, but William Clito became count instead with the support of King Louis VI of France.[1] William's politics and attitude towards the autonomy of Flanders made him unpopular,[1] and by the end of the year Bruges, Ghent, Lille, and Saint-Omer recognized Theoderic as a rival count. Theoderic's supporters came from the Imperial faction of Flanders.
     "Louis VI of France had Raymond of Martigné, the Archbishop of Reims, excommunicate Theoderic. Louis VI then besieged Lille, but was forced to retire when Henry I of England, William Clito's uncle, transferred his support to Theoderic.[1] However, Theoderic was defeated at Axspoele and fled to Bruges.[1] He was forced to flee Bruges as well, and went to Aalst, where he was soon under siege from William, Godfrey I of Leuven, and Louis VI. The city was about to be captured when William was found dead on 27 July 1128, leaving Theoderic as the only claimant to the seat.
     "Theoderic set up his government in Ghent and was recognized by all the Flemish cities as well as King Henry, who had his Flemish lords in England swear fealty to him. Theoderic himself swore homage to Louis VI after 1132, in order to gain the French king's support against Baldwin IV, Count of Hainaut, who had advanced his own claim on Flanders.
Pilgrimage and Second Crusade
     "In 1132, his wife, Suanhilde, died, leaving only a daughter. In 1139, he went on pilgrimage to the crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem, and married Sibylla of Anjou, daughter of King Fulk of Jerusalem and the widow of William Clito; a very prestigious marriage. This was the first of Theoderic's four pilgrimages to the Holy Land. While there he also led a victorious expedition against Caesarea Phillippi, and fought alongside his father-in-law in an invasion of Gilead. He soon returned to Flanders to put down a revolt in the Duchy of Lower Lotharingia, ruled at the time by Godfrey III of Leuven.
     "Theoderic joined the Second Crusade in 1147. He led the crossing of the Maeander River in Anatolia and fought at the Battla of Attalya in 1148, and after arriving in the crusader Kingdom he participated in the Council of Acre, where the ill-fated decision to attack Damascus was made.
     "Theoderic participated in the Siege of Damascus, led by his wife's half-brother Baldwin III of Jerusalem, and with the support of Baldwin, Louis VII of France, and Conrad III of Germany, he lay claim to Damascus. However, the native crusader barons preferred one of their own nobles, Guy Brisebarre, lord of Beirut. According to William of Tyre, the resulting dispute contributed to the final failure of the siege: 'for the local barons preferred that the Damascenes should keep their city rather than to see it given to the count', and so did all they could to ensure the siege collapsed. [2] Therefore, William continues, many contemporaries blamed Theoderic for the ultimate failure of the Second Crusade (though it is notable that William himself declines to say whether he believed Theoderic responsible).
     "During his absence, Baldwin IV of Hainaut invaded Flanders and pillaged Artois; Sibylla reacted strongly and had Hainaut pillaged in response. The Archbishop of Reims intervened and a treaty was signed. When Theoderic returned in 1150, he took vengeance on Baldwin IV at Bouchain, with the aid of Henry I, Count of Namur and Henry II of Leez, Bishop of Liège. In the subsequent peace negotiations, Theoderic gave his daughter Marguerite in marriage to Baldwin IV's son, the future Baldwin V, Count of Hainaut.
Returns to Holy Land
     "In 1156, Theoderic had his eldest son married to Elizabeth of Vermandois, daughter and heiress of Raoul I of Vermandois.[3] In 1156, he returned to the Holy Land, this time with his wife accompanying him. He participated in Baldwin III's siege of Shaizar, but the fortress remained in Muslim hands when a dispute arose between Theoderic and Raynald of Châtillon over who would possess it should it be captured. He returned to Flanders 1159 without Sibylla, who remained behind to become a nun at the convent of St. Lazarus in Bethany. Their son Philip had ruled the county in their absence, and he remained co-count after Theoderic's return. In 1164, Theoderic returned once more to the Holy Land. He accompanied King Amalric I, another half-brother of Sibylla, to Antioch and Tripoli. He returned home in 1166, and adopted a date palm as his seal, with a crown of laurels on the reverse.
Death
     "He died on 17 January 1168 and was buried in the Abbey of Watten, between Saint-Omer and Gravelines. His rule had been moderate and peaceful; the highly developed administration of the county in later centuries first began during these years. There had also been great economic and agricultural development, and new commercial enterprises were established; Flanders' greatest territorial expansion occurred under Theoderic.
Family
     "His first wife, Swanhilde, died in 1132, leaving only one daughter:

1. Laurette of Flanders,[4] who married four times: 1)Iwain, Count of Aalst; 2)Henry II, Duke of Limburg; 3)Raoul I of Vermandois, Count of Vermandois; 4)Henry IV of Luxembourg. Laurette finally retired to a nunnery, where she died in 1170.

     "Theoderic secondly married Sibylla of Anjou, daughter of Fulk V of Anjou and Ermengarde of Maine,[4] and former bride of William Clito. Their children were:

1. Philip of Flanders (died 1191)[4]
2. Matthew of Alsace (died 1173), married Countess Marie I of Boulogne
3. Margaret I of Flanders (died 1194), married Ralph II, count of Vermandois and Valois (died 1167, son of Ralph I), and then she married Baldwin V, Count of Hainaut[5]
4. Gertrude of Flanders (died 1186), married Humbert III of Savoy
5. Matilda of Flanders, abbess of Fontevrault
6. Peter of Flanders (died 1176), Bishop of Cambrai[4]

     "Sibylla was born about 1116, the daughter of Foulques V 'the Young', comte d'Anjou et Maine, and his first wife Eremburge, comtesse de Maine.
     "In 1123 Sibylla married William Clito of Normandy, count of Flanders, son of Robert II Curthose, duke of Normandy, and Sibylla de Conversano. Sibylla brought the county of Maine to this marriage, which did not result in progeny and was annulled in 1124 on grounds of consanguinity. The annulment was made by Pope Honorius II upon a request from Henry I, king of England, William's uncle; Foulques opposed it and did not consent until Honorius excommunicated him and placed an interdict over Anjou. Sibylla then accompanied her widower father to the crusader kingdom of Jerusalem, where he married Melisende de Réthel, the heiress of the kingdom, and became king himself in 1131.
     "In 1134 Sibylla married Thierry d'Alsace, Graaf van Vlaanderen, who had arrived on his first pilgrimage to the Holy Land. He was the son of Thierry II, duke of Lorraine, and his second wife Gertrud of Flanders. Thierry and Sibylla had six children of whom three sons and a daughter would have progeny.
     "She returned to Flanders with her new husband and during his absence on the Second Crusade the pregnant Sibylla acted as regent of the county. Baudouin IV, Graaf van Henegouwen/Hainault, took the opportunity to attack Flanders, but Sibylla led a counter-attack and pillaged Hainault. In response Baudouin ravaged Artois. The archbishop of Reims intervened and a truce was signed, but Thierry took revenge on Baudouin when he returned in 1149.
     "In 1157 Sibylla travelled with Thierry on his third pilgrimage, but after arriving in Jerusalem she separated from her husband and refused to return home with him, She became a nun at a convent dedicated to St. Lazarus at Bethanie, where her step-aunt Yvette/Ioveta of Bethany, youngest sister of Queen Melisande, was abbess. Ioveta and Sibylla supported Queen Melisende and held some influence over the Church, and supported the election of Amalric of Nesle as Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem over a number of other candidates.

     “Godfried II was born in 1105, the son of Godfried I 'with the Beard', duke of Lower-Lorraine, comte de Louvain, and Ida de Chiny. He was count of Louvain, landgrave of Brabant, marquis of Antwerp, and duke of Lower-Lorraine (as Godfried VI) from 1140 to 1142.
     “About 1139 he married Lutgardis von Sulzbach, daughter of Berengar I, Graf von Sulzbach, and Adelheid von Diessen. Their son Godfried III would have progeny.
     “Godfried II's father had made him co-ruler in 1136 and he carried the ducal title from that date, a dignity which was confirmed by Konrad III von Schwaben, king of The Romans, Herzog von Franken, who was married to Godfried's sister-in-law Gertrud von Sulzbach.
     “Godfried's father had held the duchy of Lower-Lorraine for several years, but it had been withdrawn from him by Emperor Lothar von Supplinburg in favour of Walram III Paganus I, Graf von Limburg. Godfried's father and Walram died a few months apart in 1139. The emperor then gave Lower-Lorraine to Godfried, but Walram's son Heinrich II, duke of Limburg, Graf von Arlon, claimed the duchy. Godfried reacted immediately and quickly defeated Heinrich.
     “Godfried died two years later on 11 June 1142 of liver disease. He was buried in the church of Saint-Pierre Louvain.”.⁴

     “Heinrich II was born about 1111, the son of Walram III Paganus, Graf von Limburg, Graf von Arlon, and Judith van Wassenberg, heiress of Wassenberg. He was the duke of Limburg from 1139 and count of Arlon from 1147 to his death. In 1136 he married Mathilde von Saffenberg, heiress of Rode, daughter of Adalbert von Wassenberg, Graf von Nörvenich, and his wife Mechtild. Their son Heinrich III and daughter Mathilde would have progeny. Mathilde died in 1145, and in 1150 he married Lauretta of Flanders, daughter of Thierry d'Alsace, Graaf van Vlaanderen, and his wife Swanhilde. They were divorced without progeny in 1152.
     “Heinrich succeeded his father in Limburg with the title of duke, but Konrad III von Schwaben, king of the Romans, Herzog von Franken, refused grant him Lower Lorraine. He continued to style himself as duke nevertheless. Heinrich refused at first to accept the loss of Lorraine and attacked the new duke, Godfried III. He was decisively defeated. Godfried died in 1142, but Heinrich was occupied with a war against the lord of Fauquemont and did not assert any claim to the duchy of Lower Lorraine.
     “In 1147 he inherited Arlon, his younger brother Walram having died without children. King Konrad III confirmed this, for he had promised Heinrich a fief to compensate for the loss of Lorraine, and the duke and the king were reconciled. However Heinrich did not take part in the Second Crusade that year. He attended the coronation of Konrad's successor Friedrich I Barbarossa.
     “At that time Heinrich was involved in a war with Heinrich, comte de Namur et Luxembourg. The town of Andenne was taken and completely plundered and burned. Then Heinrich turned on Godfried III, his father's successor as duke of Lower Lorraine, but they soon made peace in 1155. Heinrich's daughter Margarethe married Godfried.
     “Heinrich took part in Friedrich Barbarossa's Italian campaigns, dying during the epidemic of 1167 at Rome.”.⁵

      ; Per Med Lands:
     "HAROLD, son of GODWIN Earl of Wessex & his wife Gytha of Denmark ([1022/25]-killed in battle Hastings 14 Oct 1066, bur [Waltham Abbey]). His parentage is confirmed in several places in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle[2046]. He was created Earl of the East Angles, Essex, Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire in 1044 by King Edward "the Confessor". King Edward granted him part of the earldom of his brother Svein, after the latter was outlawed following his seduction of the Abbess of Leominster. After joining his father's threatened armed rebellion against the king in 1051, he fled to Ireland with his brother Leofwine[2047]. He returned from Ireland the following year and joined forces with his father[2048]. Harold was appointed to succeed his father as Earl of Wessex in 1053, his own earldom of the East Angles passing to Ælfgar son of Leofric Earl of Mercia[2049]. He led the counter-offensive against Gruffydd ap Llywellyn Prince of Wales in 1063, in reprisal for Welsh raids[2050]. On a mission to France in [1064], he was captured by Guy [de Ponthieu] Comte d'Abbeville and imprisoned at Beaurain. Guillaume II Duke of Normandy, Guy's suzerain, secured Harold's release, possibly in return for the latter's acknowledgement of Duke Guillaume as successor to the English throne, the event being recorded in the Bayeux tapestry. Guillaume of Jumièges records that “Edwardus Anglorum rex” had already sent “Rodbertum Cantuariorum archipræsulem” to Normandy to recognise Duke Guillaume as his heir, and that the king sent “Heraldum” as his representative to finalise the affair, that Harold landed at Ponthieu and was captured by “Widonis Abbatisvillæ comitis”, from whom Duke Guillaume rescued him and brought him back to Normandy where he swore allegiance to the duke, who retained “adolescentem Vulnotem fratrem eius” as hostage[2051]. According to Eadmer[2052], the reason for Harold's visit to Normandy was to negotiate the release of his brother Wulfnoth and nephew Haakon, both of whom had been held hostage there since 1051. In spite of earlier promises to Duke Guillaume, on his deathbed King Edward "the Confessor" bequeathed the kingdom to Harold. The choice was unopposed at court and Harold succeeded as HAROLD II King of England, crowned 6 Jan 1066. It is unclear whether there was a meeting, formal or informal, of a council to consider the matter, or whether members of such council took part in some form of election as it might be recognised today. There would probably have been little need for formality as the succession was presumably a foregone conclusion. Duke Guillaume branded Harold a perjurer and appealed to Pope Alexander II for support. After receiving a papal banner in response to this request, the duke gathered a sizable army during Summer 1066 ready for invasion. In response to the invasion by his brother Tostig and Harald III "Hardråde" King of Norway (who also claimed the throne of England), King Harold marched northwards and defeated the invaders at Stamford Bridge 25 Sep 1066. Harold returned south, but meanwhile Duke William's army had set sail from Saint-Valéry-sur-Somme 28 Sep. King Harold hastily reassembled his army to meet this second invasion at Hastings 14 Oct 1066, where he was killed. The Chronique de Normandie, based on le Roman de Rou, records that King Harold II was killed at Hastings by "un chevalier…Robert fils Herveis"[2053]. According to the Waltham Chronicle written some time after 1177, King Harold's body was identified on the battlefield by his mistress Eadgyth Swanneshals and taken to Waltham for burial[2054]. William of Malmesbury also says that King Harold was buried at Waltham, though by his mother[2055].
     "Betrothed ([1064]) to ADELISA de Normandie, daughter of GUILLAUME II Duke of Normandy & his wife Mathilde de Flandre ([1055]-7 Dec, 1066 or after). Guillaume of Jumièges records that Duke Guillaume betrothed “Heraldum” to “Adelizam filiam suam” after rescuing Harold from “Widonis Abbatisvillæ comitis” and bringing him back to Normandy[2056]. Orderic Vitalis records the betrothal of Adelaide and Harold, listing her after Agatha and before Constance in his description of the careers of the daughters of King William[2057] (although in another passage he names Agatha as the daughter who was betrothed to Harold[2058]). The sources are contradictory concerning the name of the daughter betrothed to Harold, as well as the timing of her death. The only near certainty is that it would presumably have been the oldest available daughter who was betrothed to Harold. Matthew of Paris does not name her but lists her fourth among the daughters of King William, while distinguishing her from the fifth daughter betrothed to "Aldefonso Galiciæ regi"[2059]. Guillaume de Jumièges records that the (unamed, but named Adelisa in an earlier passage) daughter who was betrothed to Harold was the duke’s third daughter and that she died a virgin although she was of an age to marry[2060]. Orderic Vitalis says that Adelaide "a most fair maiden vowed herself to God when she reached marriageable age and made a pious end under the protection of Roger of Beaumont"[2061]. The daughter betrothed to Harold was alive in early 1066, according to Eadmer of Canterbury[2062] who says that Duke Guillaume requested King Harold, soon after his accession, to keep his promise to marry his daughter. This is contradicted by William of Malmesbury[2063], who says that her death before that of Edward "the Confessor" was taken by King Harold II as marking absolution from his oath to Duke Guillaume. She died as a nun at Préaux[2064]. The necrology of Chartres cathedral records the death "VII Id Dec" of "Adeliza filia regis Anglorum", stating that her father made a donation for her soul[2065]. The necrology of Saint-Nicaise de Meulan records the death of "Adelina filia regis Anglorum", undated but listed among deaths at the end of the calendar year[2066].
     "m ([1064/early 1066]) as her second husband, EALDGYTH of Mercia, widow of GRUFFYDD ap Llywellyn Prince of Gwynedd and Powys, daughter of ÆLFGAR Earl of Mercia & his first wife Ælfgifu. Florence of Worcester’s genealogies name "regina Aldgitha, comitis Ælfgari filia" as mother of King Harold’s son "Haroldum"[2067]. Orderic Vitalis records that "Edwinus…et Morcarus comites, filii Algari…Edgivam sororem eorum" married firstly "Gritfridi…regis Guallorum" and secondly "Heraldo"[2068]. In a later passage, the same source names her “Aldit”[2069]. Her parentage and marriage with King Harold are confirmed by Florence of Worcester who records that "earls Edwin and Morcar…sent off their sister Queen Elgitha to Chester" after the battle of Hastings[2070]. There is no source which pinpoints the date of Ealdgyth’s second marriage. Freeman suggests that the absence of any reference to his queen in the sources which record the circumstances of Harold’s accession and coronation may indicate that his marriage took place afterwards[2071]. If Harold's son Ulf was legitimate (see below), the marriage would have taken place in the earlier part of the date range which is shown above.
     "Mistress (1): EADGYTH "Swanneshals [Swan-neck]", [daughter of --- & his wife Wulfgyth] (-after 1066). A mid-12th century manuscript concerning the foundation of Waltham abbey names "Editham cognomento Swanneshals" as "cubicularia" of King Harold when recording that she recovered the king’s body for burial after the battle of Hastings[2072]. The later Vita Haroldi records that "a certain woman of a shrewd intelligence, Edith by name" recovered the king’s body from the battlefield, chosen to do so "because she loved him exceedingly…[and] had been frequently present in the secret places of his chamber"[2073]. The only source so far identified which refers to an earlier document which names Eadgyth is the history of the abbey of St Benet, Holme, written by John of Oxnead in 1292, which records donations to the abbey, confirmed by King Edward in 1046, including the donation by "Edgyue Swanneshals" of "Thurgertone" (Thurgarton, Norfolk)[2074]. The fact of this donation is confirmed by the corresponding charter of King Edward, reproduced in Dugdale’s Monasticon[2075], which refers to the donation of "ecclesiam de Thurgartun cum tota villa" but omits the name of the donor. Barlow suggests that Eadgyth may have been "Ealdgyth" who is named in the will of her mother "Wulfgyth", dated to [1042/53], who bequeathed land "at Stisted, Essex to her sons Ælfketel and Ketel…at Saxlingham, Norfolk and Somerton, Suffolk to her daughters Gode and Bote, at Chadacre, Suffolk and Ashford to her daughter Ealdgyth, and at Fritton to Earl Godwin and Earl Harold"[2076]. The connection between Wulfgyth’s family and St Benet’s, Hulme is confirmed by the testament of "Ketel" (named in his mother’s will quoted above), dated to [1052/66], which includes bequests of land to the abbey[2077]. However, Ketel’s testament names his two sisters Gode and Bote, who are also named in their mother’s will, but does not name "Ealdgyth", suggesting that the latter may have predeceased her brother. None of the sources so far identified suggests, even indirectly, that Eadgyth "Swanneshals" was the mother of the seven illegitimate children of King Harold who are shown below, but this has been assumed to be the case in secondary sources.
     "[Mistress (2): --- (-after 1086). Domesday Book records "quædam concubina Heraldi" as holding three houses in Canterbury[2078]. It is not known whether this unnamed person was the same as Eadgyth "Swanneshals".] "
