     Beatrix (?) married Huwes I (Hugues) d'Enghien seigneur d’Enghien, Lembeek, Tubize, (Rameru), et La Folie, son of Engelbert II d'Enghien seigneur d'Enghien and Béatrix (?).¹

     ; NB: There is no common agreement on the number of names of the wives of Huwes/Hugues I, nor on the mother of his children.
     Genealogics shows no wife for Huwes/Hugues I, but assigns him one son, Englebert III, as the son of this unnamed wife.
     Med Lands says he m. "Beatrix" (poss. van Grimbergen?), and assigns all (six) children to her.
     Racines et Histoire (Enghien) says he m.:
But Racines et Histoire (Enghien) doesn't distinguish which wife motheres which child (six).
     Wikipédia (Fr.) says he m. Jeanne de Luxembourg, and only lists one son for her, Englebert III.
     Genealogy.EU (Luxemburg 4) says he m. Hedwig, dau. of Otto von Salm, Ct Palatine of the Rhine, Gf von Bentheim and Gf von Rheineck, and Gertrud von Northeim, but shows no children
Conclusion: Each of the three possible wives is mentioned two of these sources. I have decided to show all three possible marriages, but have not assigned his children to any of them. GA Vaut.^2,1,3,4,5,6

     "HUGUES d’Enghien (-after 1166). “Hoston de Bliqui, Tiévin [Liévin?] d’Herbau, Isembart de Mons, Hugues d’Enghien” witnessed the 1121 charter under which “Hersende noble demoiselle” donated herself as a serf to Saint-Ghislain[1163]. “Hugues d’Enghien, Gossuin son frère...” witnessed the charter dated 1122 under which “Alpayde noble dame” donated herself as a serf to Saint-Ghislain[1164]. “Gontier et Gilles de Chin son fils” [see Chapter 3.C of the present document] and “Hugues Seigneur d’Enghien” both donated land “à Wasmes” to Saint-Ghislain, dated to [1133] by Reiffenberg[1165], confirmed 4 Apr 1183 with other donations by Pope Lucius III (“in villa...Wamia...terramque Hugonis de Aengien”), confirmation repeated by Pope Lucius III 12 Jan 1185, by Pope Urban III 7 Mar 1187, and by Pope Celestine III 27 Jul 1191[1166]. "...Hugonis de Aingen..." witnessed the charter dated 1139 under which Baudouin IV Comte de Hainaut granted privileges to the Knights Templars[1167]. “Gertrudis castellana Montensis” donated “allodium...apud Inferiorem Eham et apud Maternam et apud Wolverkerke” to Eename abbey, with the consent of “...Hugone de Adengem...”, by undated charter[1168]. Thierry Count of Flanders donated rights to Froidmont, noting donations made by “Hugone de Adengem...per manum filiorum suorum Siheri Goxuini”, by charter dated 1142[1169]. “Eustachius del Ruez, Hugo de Adengen, Gossuinus de Mons, Theodericus de Ligne...” subscribed the charter dated 1147 under which Baudouin IV Comte de Hainaut terminated a dispute between Hautmont abbey and Nicolas d’Avesnes[1170]. “Alardus de Eversbeka” donated “allodium suum de parte matris sue” to Eename abbey by undated charter, witnessed by “Mathildis et filius eius Gerardus: Hugo de Adengem, Johannes de Petengem...”[1171]. Delporte discusses this charter, recording that it has been dated to [1110-15?] but suggesting that the witness list indicates a later date (in particular because the death of “Johannes de Petengem”, identified as Jan [I] van Peteghem, is estimated to 1154 or before)[1172]. The possibility of some, as yet unascertained, family relationship between the donor and the witnesses seems likely. “Hugo de Adengem et v filii eius...Gozuinus, Ingelbertus, Nicholaus, Sigerus, Bonefacius et frater eius, Hainnerus, Gozuinus...” witnessed the charter dated to [1146/48] under which “Reinsuendis uxor Alardi Hasbenium...” donated property to Eename[1173]. “Hugo de Aengien et Gossuinus filius eius, Arnulphus de Gavra, Theodericus de Linia” subscribed the charter dated 1154 under which Baudouin IV Comte de Hainaut confirmed various properties to the church of Cambron[1174]. "…Hugonis de Engien, Sigeri filii eius…" signed a charter dated 1157 under which Baudouin IV Comte de Hainaut settled a dispute between the abbey of Crespin and "Theodericum, villicum suum de Harminiaco"[1175]. “...Hugone de Adengem, Gozuino, fratre eius...” witnessed the charter dated 1158 under which “Egidius de Belchi” donated property “apud Helsbecam...pasturam que jacet inter Helbecam et Silgi” to Eename[1176]. “...Balduini et Hugonis de Adengem” witnessed the charter dated 1161 under which Nicolas Bishop of Cambrai confirmed donations made by “Ada” abbess of Nivelles “cum...sorore Hazeca”[1177]. Nicolas Bishop of Cambrai confirmed that “domina Ysabealdis de Stenkerca et filius eius Ingelbertus”, with the consent of “uxore eiusdem Ingelberti...prebentibus Hugone de Edengem et filii eius”, donated land and rights “infra nemus de Geterlau” to Cambron, noting that “Egidius de Trazinies” had rights in the same property which he also donated with the consent of “Hugone et filiis eius”, by charter dated 1161[1178]. “...Hugonis de Aingem, Gozuini filii eius et Gozuini fratris eius...” signed the charter dated 1161 under which “domina Eva de Cirvia que dicitur Domisons” donated “medietatem ville...Erbisul” to Ghislenghien, for the soul of “viri sui Razonis de Gavara”, the same document recording another donation witnessed by “Hugo de Aingem, Bonefacius, Gozwinus filii eius...”[1179]. “Hugo de Aenghien et Gosuinus filius nobiles...” witnessed the charter dated to [1164/66] under which “fratrem Fastredum monachum” donated property to Grimbergen[1180]. A charter dated to 1166 records that “Hugo Angiensis cum filiis Gosuino, Engelberto, Sigero et Bonifacio” built “arcem apud Angiam”[1181]. It is assumed that Hugues died soon after this document. Giselbert’s Chronicon Hanoniense records that “Hugo de Aenghien, vavasor potens, pater Gossuini et Engelberti, Soheri et Bonifacii”, vassal of the Comte de Hainaut, built “castrum fossato, muri et turri” but, in breach of his feudal obligation, swore allegiance to “duce Lovaniensi” which triggered war during the course of which Baudouin IV Comte de Hainaut destroyed the castle (undated)[1182].
     "m BEATRIX, daughter of ---. She is named in the following charter of her grandson Engelbert [III] d’Enghien: “Ingelbertus de Aienghem” donated property “in loco...Keth in parrochia de Marcha juxta Aienghem” to Grimbergen, and confirmed “nonam partem decime de Herinis” donated by “avia mea domina Beltris de Aienghem”, for the anniversary of “patris nostri Ingelberti”, by charter dated 13 Jun 1200[1183]. Croenen suggests that she was Beatrix, daughter of Walter [I] [van Grimbergen][1184]. There do not appear to be any surviving primary sources which confirm this suggestion, but it would explain the Enghien family donations to Grimbergen. However, there do not seem to be enough data points available in the early generations of the Grimbergen family to test the suggestion chronologically."

; See attached image of a chart showing the descent of Hildegardis (who m. Geoffroy I, vicomte de Châteaudun), based on the work of Settipani [2000].^17,10
; NB: The lineage of the Vicomtes de Châteaudun is not clear. A 1998 email from Wilson [reprinted in a separate note, here] outlines the more-or-less received wisdom at that point. Med Lands and Racines et Histoire (Châteaudun) show two different lines for the early vicomtes. France Balade shows one line. Genealogics seems to skip the early generations. Wikipedia and Wikipédia (Fr.) offer slightly different lines. Settipani [2000] presents a synthesis of the various facts available into a more coherent picture. I show here what each source says about the generations in a direct line from Geoffroy III Vicomte de Châteaudun (b. ca 980 - d. 1040), backward. In each descent, I have underlined this individual.
     The Henry Project page on "Geoffroy (II)" (Geoffrey II/III, d. 1038/39, has a good discussion on the ancestry of this individual and of the vicomtes de Châteaudun. It is worth referring to that discussion to get more clarity on the issues and individuals I discuss here.


I. Med Lands: Med Lands shows to lines, running roughly 967-1080, but no connection is described between the two lines.
I. A. Med Lands Line 1 - This starts with a Geoffrey and runs 4 generations:
I.B. Med Lands Line 2 - This starts with a Rotrou and runs 4 generations:
II. Racines et Histoire (Châteaudun): Racines et Histoire also shows two lineages, without any connection described.
II.A. Racines et Histoire Line 1 - 5 generations:
II.B. Racines et Histoire Line 1 - 5 generations:
III. France Balade: France Balade presents a fragmented view of the various Vicomtes from a Rampo (ca 860) down to Geoffroy III (d. 1040), in 4 or 5 generations.
IV. Genealogics: Genealogics only describes 2 generations:
V. Wikipedia: Wikipedia lists 10 Viscounts/Vicountesses of Châteaudun from Geoffrey I to Geoffrey III, some of whom are shown as related.
VI. Wikipédia (Fr.): Wikipédia (Fr.) lists 9 various Vicomtes (without Vicomtesses) covering 6 generations (initial dates are approximate reigns as Vicomte):
VII. Settipani [2000] uses the Latin names given in early sources. He outlines 4 generations from the so-called Gausfred I (Geoffrey I) to Gausfred III (Geoffrey III), plus an earlier ancestor, father of Geoffrey I. An image of a chart from Settipani's paper is attached to demonstrate the total structure he proposed.
VII.A.I. Gausfred (900-aft 942), Vicomte de Chartres
VII.A.2. Gausfred (925-986/9), Vicomte de Châteaudun, m. Hildegardis (ca 935 - aft ca 1020)
VII.A.3. Hugo (950-1023), Vicomte de Châteaudun, Archevêque de Tours
VII.A.3. Fulcois (ca 950/5-bef 1003), Comte de Perche m. Melisendis (955-aft 1029) fl. Nogent
VII.A.4. Gausfred (ca 970/75-1038/9), Vicomte de Châteaudun, m. Helvidis (980-unk)
VII.A.5. Rotrocus (1005-aft 1051/60). Vicomte de Châteaudun, Comte de Perche m. Adelais de Bellême
Conclusion: Frankly, I am still trying to organize all of this information in my mind and have not decided on what I will finally show for the ancestors of Geoffrey III. What I currently have should be considered a draft work in progress. I accept the scholarship of Settipani, but am still trying to fit all of the pieces together and evaluate the information given in the other sources. GA Vaut.^{18,19,3,20,16,10,21,6}

; NB: There are several theories as to the father/parents of the Helvise/Elisabeth who m. Geoffroy III:
     I. Wikipedia says she was "Helvise (Elizabeth) de Corbon, daughter of Rainard, Lord of Pithiviers, and his wife Helvise."
     II. Wikipédia (Fr.) says he m. "Helvise, fille probable de Renard de Broyes, seigneur de Pithiviers et Nogent, et d'Helvide ou Héloïse (de Bassigny ?)"
     III. Med Lands says: "...m HELVISE [Elisabeth], daughter of --- (-after [20 Jul 1031/19 Jul 1032])."
     IV. France Balade says he m. "Helvise (Héloise) fille de Foulques Comte de Mortagne (on dit aussi Corbon)"
     V. Racines et Histoire calls her Helvise de Corbon fille de Fulcuich, comte de Corbon (Mortagne)
     VI. Settipani names her as Helvidis and gives her a completely different ancestry, as a possible dau. of Renhard, Seigneurs de Pithiviers (980-ca 1000) and his wife Helvidis (960-unk). (See attachted image of the chart from Settipani's paper is attached.)
Conclusion: Settipani is the only one of these six sources that gives detailed arguments and cites a number of other researchers in supporting his conclusion. His argumentation supports the (probably later) conclusions in the Wikipedia and Wikipédia (Fr.) articles. I have changed my own data to reflect Settipani's conclusion as to Helvise/Helvidis's parents and ancestry. GA Vaut.^{10,11,6,9,5,1,12}

; My ancestry for Helvidis/Helvise who m. Gausfred/Geoffroy III, Vcte de Châteaudun is based on the work of Settipani. (An image of a chart from Settipani's article is attached.) GA Vaut.¹²
; NB: The lineage of the Vicomtes de Châteaudun is not clear. A 1998 email from Wilson [reprinted in a separate note, here] outlines the more-or-less received wisdom at that point. Med Lands and Racines et Histoire (Châteaudun) show two different lines for the early vicomtes. France Balade shows one line. Genealogics seems to skip the early generations. Wikipedia and Wikipédia (Fr.) offer slightly different lines. Settipani [2000] presents a synthesis of the various facts available into a more coherent picture. I show here what each source says about the generations in a direct line from Geoffroy III Vicomte de Châteaudun (b. ca 980 - d. 1040), backward. In each descent, I have underlined this individual.
     The Henry Project page on "Geoffroy (II)" (Geoffrey II/III, d. 1038/39, has a good discussion on the ancestry of this individual and of the vicomtes de Châteaudun. It is worth referring to that discussion to get more clarity on the issues and individuals I discuss here.

VII. Settipani [2000] uses the Latin names given in early sources. He outlines 4 generations from the so-called Gausfred I (Geoffrey I) to Gausfred III (Geoffrey III), plus an earlier ancestor, father of Geoffrey I. An image of a chart from Settipani's paper is attached to demonstrate the total structure he proposed.

Conclusion: Frankly, I am still trying to organize all of this information in my mind and have not decided on what I will finally show for the ancestors of Geoffrey III. What I currently have should be considered a draft work in progress.

     “Heinrich was the son of Berthold, Graf im Radenzgau, and Heliksuinda/Eilika von Walbeck. His father's parentage is not known with certainty, but he may have been a son of Arnulf, duke of Bavaria. Heinrich was Bavarian, whatever the identity of his grandfather. He was called the 'glory of eastern Franconia' by his cousin, the chronicler Thietmar von Merseburg.
     “With his wife Gerberge, the daughter of an Otto whose identity is disputed, Heinrich had three sons and two daughters, of whom Otto, Eilica and Judith would have progeny.
     “Heinrich held a succession of countships after his father's death in 980. Like his father he was appointed marchio of the Bavarian Nordgau in 994. In 1003 he revolted against the future emperor Heinrich II 'der Heilige', claiming that he had been promised the duchy of Bavaria in return for his support. The king said that the Bavarians had a right to elect their own duke. Heinrich allied with Boleslaw I Chrobry, king of Poland, and Boleslaw III, duke of Bohemia. Nevertheless, his rebellion was quashed and he himself was briefly captive. The king established the diocese of Bamberg to prevent any further uprisings in the region. The new diocese took over the secular authority of the margrave in the region of the Bavarian Nordgau.
     “In the end it was only the joint persuasion of both his secular and ecclesiastical overlords, Bernhard I, Herzog von Sachsen, and Tagino, archbishop of Magdeburg, that reconciled Heinrich to his king in 1004. Heinrich did subsequently gain new and old countships before his death in 1017. He was buried at Schweinfurt.”.¹ GAV-26 EDV-26.

Graf an der unteren Naab 981. Graf an der unteren Altmühl 983. Markgraf auf dem bayerischen Nordgau 994. Graf im Radenzgau 1002. He rebelled against Heinrich II King of Germany in 1003 on the grounds that he had not been granted the duchy of Bavaria as promised and allied himself with Bohemia and Poland. His rebellion was crushed and King Heinrich set up the bishopric of Bamberg to provide central control in the area in place of the margravate of bayerischen Nordgau[1084]. Graf an der Pegnitz 1009 and 1011. Graf an der oberen Naab 1015. Thietmar records the death 18 Sep 1017 of "Markgraf Heinrich my aunt's son and the glory of eastern Franconia"[1085].

An alternative possibility is that Gerberga was the daughter of Otto Graf von Grabfeld, the solution chosen by Europäische Stammtafeln[1087], but this assumes that the two references to "Otto" in Thietmar were to different individuals. It is also less likely chronologically as it would appear that Otto Graf von Grabfeld was several decades older than Otto Graf von Hammerstein. Her birth date range is estimated on the basis of her daughter Eilika having given birth to her first child in [1020]. Thietmar states that Gerberga and her children were guarded by her husband's brother Bukko during their rebellion against Heinrich II King of Germany in 1003[1088].

An alternative possibility is that Gerberga was the daughter of Otto Graf von Grabfeld (see below), the solution chosen by Europäische Stammtafeln[344], but this assumes that the two references to "Otto" in Thietmar were to different individuals. It is also less likely chronologically as it would appear that Otto Graf von Grabfeld was several decades older than Otto Graf von Hammerstein. Her birth date range is estimated on the basis of her daughter Eilika having given birth to her first child in [1020]. Thietmar states that Gerberga and her children were guarded by her husband's brother Bukko during their rebellion against Heinrich II King of Germany in 1003[345].

     Hermann Billung born about 900 and died March 27, 973 was a Margrave of Saxony and one of the most well-known members of the House of Billung. He was the son of Billung von Stubenskorn (c. 860-967) and Ermengarde of Nantes (b. 900) and the younger brother of the Saxon count Wichmann the Elder. Hermann is generally counted as the first Billung Duke of Saxony, but his exact position is unclear. King Otto I appointed Hermann margrave in 936, granting him a march north of the Elbe between the Limes Saxoniae and Peene Rivers. Hermann Billung was probably married twice, first to a woman named Oda (who died on 15 March in an unknown year), and second to Hildegarde of Westerbourg.
He had five children:
1. Bernhard I (died 1011), Duke of Saxony
2. Liutger (died 26 February 1011) Count in Westfalengau, attested in 991, buried in St. Michaels in Lüneburg, married Emma (died 3 December 1038), buried in the Bremen Cathedral, daughter of Immed IV (Immedinger), sister of Bishop Meinwerk of Paderborn.

     “Hermann Billung was born in 900, the son of Billung, count of Saxony. He was one of the best-known members of the House of Billung. Hermann is generally counted as the first Billung duke of Saxony, but his exact position is unclear. King Otto I appointed Hermann margrave in 936, granting him the march north of the Elbe between the _Limes Saxoniae_ (Saxon Wall) and the Peene River. Having more autonomy than his contemporary margrave Gero, Hermann exacted tribute from the Polabian Slavs inhabiting the march of the Billungs. He often fought against the West Slavid tribes of the Redarians, Obotrites, and Wagrians.
     “By 953 Otto I, who was also duke of Saxony, began entrusting more and more of his authority in Saxony to Hermann during his absences, naming him _procurator regis._ However, Hermann is never named as duke in royal documents. Instead, he is named as a military leader _princeps militiae_, count, and margrave.
     “By an unnamed wife, Hermann had three children who would have progeny: Bernhard, Mathilde and Schwanhild/Suanehild.
     “Hermann had property around Lüneburg and founded the St. Michaeliskloster (monastery of St. Michael) in that city. He died in Quedlinburg on 27 March 973, and was buried in the St. Michaeliskloster. His son Bernhard inherited and strengthened his father's position, and managed to be recognised as duke.”.³

Med Lands cites:

; Per The Henry Project: “Oda, d. 15 March, year uncertain.
Althoff cites the necrology of St. Xanten for 15 March as giving the obituary of Hermann's wife ("obitus Ode uxoris Hermanni duci"), and the necrology of St. Michael's at Lüneburg gives the same date [Althoff (1984), 392 (G 27)]. Countess Oda ("Ode comes.") heads the list of women in Tabula gentis Billingorum [MGH SS 13: 344], followed by "Hildesuith comes." and "Hildegard com.", the latter of whom can be identified with the wife of Hermann's son duke Bernhard I. The often repeated claim that Hermann's wife was named Hildegarde is discussed in the Commentary section. Based primarily on the fact that the name Oda also appears in the Liudolfinger family (see the page of Oda, wife of duke Liudolf), Jackman would place Oda as a sister of bishop Bruno I of Verden (see below) and of a count Liudolf I of Derlingen (fl. 942), daughter of count Bruno II of Derlingen (fl. ca. 937), and granddaughter of duke Bruno (d. 880, see the page of duke Bruno's father Liudolf) [Jackman (2000), 34, 38, 56]. However, the extremely conjectural nature of this attribution is evident, and there seems to be no good reason to accept it ["There is every likelihood that this Oda was from the Brunoner line of the Liudolfinger, a sister therefore (possibly niece or daughter) of count Liudolf I." ibid., 38; the table on p. 56 places Oda as a sister of Liudolf I and bishop Bruno of Verden without any indication of uncertainty].”.¹
