Ina/Ine (?) King of Wessex died in 728 at Rome, Città Metropolitana di Roma Capitale, Lazio, Italy.^3,2
      .⁴ Ina/Ine (?) King of Wessex was also known as Ine (?) King of Wessex.² He was King of Wessex: [Ashley, pp. 308-309] INE West Saxons, 688-726. Ine was the first true king of the West Saxons, as distinct from a war-leader. He not only firmly established Wessex as a kingdom but introduced a code of laws and a strong administrative system to govern the land. The genealogies show his descent from CUTHA, though the links back to CERDIC may be more forced. Ine's name is singular, but is almost certainly an affectionate diminutive of a longer name (probably Cuthwine or Cenwine). Wine was a common suffix in Saxon names and means "friend". It was the name of the bishop of Wessex from 660-4, and Ine may have been named after him, as he was probably born at about that time. He was the son of Cenred, who was one of the sub-kings ruling a fragmented Wessex following the death of CENWEALH in 672. Cenred's territory seems to have been to the west, around Dorset, and it is likely that he continued to rule jointly with his son at the outset. Ine came to power following the abdication of CAEDWALLA. He probably did not succeed immediately as there would have been several claimants, and it is likely that initially he ruled with other sub-kings until he established his claim. He did this rapidly, however, for by late 688 he was already in the process of developing his law code, which was formulated over the next five years. Ine was the first to codify a set of laws for the Saxons, although Athelbert of Kent had produced one for his kingdom (Jutes and Franks) ninety years earlier. This was the key part of his re-organization of Wessex that enabled him to manage it as an single kingdom rather than a collection of sub-units, which had been the nature of the old Gewisse. By the time he had issued his law code, in 694, he had almost certainly eradicated the sub-kingdoms but had developed in their place a series of shires which coincide to a large degree with the modern counties, and these were administered by ealdormen or reeves who, in most cases, would have been the former sub-king. It needed a strong king to impose these changes and the memories of Ine that survive suggest that he was a harsh and unforgiving king (despite his name) who ruled with an iron hand and would brook no challenge. He continued to treat the South Saxons harshly in the early years of his reign, enslaving the common populace and imposing upon them his own client king, NOTHHELM, who was apparently related either directly or through marriage. He also exacted compensation from WIHTRED of Kent for the murder of Caedwalla's brother MUL. Ine established a firm relationship with Wihtred. Between them they agreed the boundary between Kent and Wessex which remained the Kentish boundary for over a thousand years. He also sought Wihtred's advice over his law code, drawing upon that already established in Kent. By 694 Ine was well in control of his realm and the next decade saw him seek to develop its economic and ecclesiastical prosperity. He created a new episcopal see at Sherborne, under Bishop Aldhelm in 706, with Daniel installed as the new bishop of Winchester. Ine also created a new town at Hamwic (Southampton) which became a centre for trade and crafts, and one of the largest towns in Saxon England. By the early years of the eighth century Wessex was a prosperous and well organized kingdom, firmly governed.
Ine's law code sought to be fair to the native British population even though they were regarded as inferior to the Saxons. There was almost certainly strong intermarriage between the two races, including within the royal family, and it seems likely that, working with Aldhelm, Ine endeavoured to bring the British of Dumnonia under his control. The British were already Christians but of the Celtic church. Following the Synod of Whitby in 664 the Anglo-Saxons had followed the Roman church, most notably in its calculation of the date of Easter. Soon after 706 we find Aldhelm in communication with GERAINT of Dumnonia, exhorting him to adopt the Roman church. Geraint refused, and Ine probably used this as an excuse to invade Devon. There were probably a series of raids and forays during 709 and 710 in which Ine was supported by Nothhelm, but in 710 Geraint was killed at the battle of Longport, and Devon fell under West Saxon rule. It was never extensively colonized by the Saxons, remaining predominantly British, but ceased to be a separate kingdom. Ine was never able to push his control into Cornwall. He was defeated by the Cornish in 722 at the river Tamar, and thereafter withdrew his forces.
Ine seems to have established a good alliance with the Mercians under ATHELBALD and CENRED as there is no evidence of any major hostilities during their reigns. However their successor CEOLRED was an ambitious young hothead with more recklessness than sense. In 715 his forces clashed with Ine's at Adam's Grave in Wiltshire. The cause of the battle is not recorded, but doubtless Ceolred was attempting to expand control over territories ever in dispute with Wessex, and Ine soon taught him a lesson. Despite his power, Ine's control over internal affairs clearly weakened in later years. The full facts are not clear and the tantalising clues in the ASC and later chronicles only provide hints. It seems likely, however, that by 721 Ine was facing internal dissension amongst claimants to the throne. In that year he killed a certain Cynewulf, and probably sent into exile Ealdbert, who may have been involved in Cynewulf's plot, or may have been another claimant. Support for Ealdbert must have been strong, though, for in 722 he was besieged in Taunton by Ine's queen, Athelburh, who destroyed Taunton in the process. For the queen to be involved suggests something close to home, and it may be that Ealdbert was Athelburh's own son. Ealdbert escaped, however, and sought refuge in Surrey and Sussex. Ine should have been able to rely on his client king in Sussex, ATHELSTAN, to hand Ealdbert over, but such was not the case. Ealdbert must have found support in Sussex, and the South Saxons used this as an opportunity to fight for independence. This civil war continued for three years until Ine defeated and killed Ealdbert in battle in 725. Ine was now in his sixties, and this campaign must have taken its toll. Moreover if Ealdbert was his son, his rebellion and death was a bitter blow to Ine's succession. It may have been this that caused Ine to abdicate in the following year and retire to Rome as a pilgrim. He died there two years later. Bede records that Ine abdicated in order to leave the kingdom "to younger men", but he did not leave it in safer hands, and it would be nearly eighty years before Wessex again saw a ruler of the stature of Ine. between 688 and 726.^1,2

     BIRTH     1022, Caen, Departement du Calvados, Basse-Normandie, France
     DEATH     8 Sep 1089 (aged 66–67), Caen, Departement du Calvados, Basse-Normandie, France
     Robert d'Eu was count of Eu and Anglo-Norman. He was the eldest son and successor of Guillaume d'Eu, and Leseline de Turqueville. His father was the illegitimate son of Duke Richard I of Normandy. He served William the conqueror in his various expeditions. The Duke married Mathilde of Flanders, daughter of Baldwin V, count of Flanders, in the castle of Robert d'Eu. It is in the same castle of Eu that William the Conqueror makes an alliance, in 1065, with Harold, Earl of Kent, William would defeat Harold the following year at the battle of Hastings. Robert sent 60 ships with the fleet which landed in England and the Norman Conquest of England. About 1068-1070, William the Conqueror entrusted to Robert d'Eu, with the rape of Hastings. His son Guillaume II d'Eu is one of the few soldiers that are known with certainty being present at the famous battle of Hastings. The father and the son are owners of estates producing an income of app oximately 690 pounds sterling annually in the writing of the Domesday Book (1086). In exchange of the Castle, the town of Hastings and all his lands, the count of Eu must provide sixty Knights to serve the Crown. In 1069, he was charged by the King with Robert of Mortain to monitor the Danes including the fleet in the mouth of the Humber, while he suppresses the revolt initiated by Eadric the wild. When the Danes retreat to plunder, the two men and their army attack them unexpectedly and crush them, forcing them to flee by sea. After the death of William the Conqueror, the count of Eu follows some time Duke Robert Curthose. But rebuffed his weakness and his debauchery, the count with several other Norman lords, joined with William Rufus, which he receives the garrisons in castles. Very pious, he made donations throughout his life to the Church, including land to the Abbey of the Holy Trinity of Rouen (1051) and is witness to a Charter dated 1053. A widower, he married Mathilde de Hauteville (1062 – 1094), daughter of Roger I, count of Sicily, and Judith of Évreux. But he repudiated, and she remarried in 1080 to Raymond IV de Saint-Gilles (d. 1105), count of Toulouse and marquis of Provence. Roberts first wife was Beatrix of Falaise, perhaps sister of Herleva de Falaise:

Guillaume of Jumièges names “Rodbertum...Willelmum Suessionensem comitem atque Hugonem Luxoviensem præsulem” as the three sons of “ducis uno ex patre fratrem progenitum...Willelmum” and his wife “Lezscelinam...filiam...Turchetilli”, adding that Robert succeeded to his father’s county[1000]. He is named as the son of Guillaume Comte d'Eu by Orderic Vitalis[1001]. Robert’s date of birth is estimated from his having three sons who are named in a charter dated 1036. The date is consistent with his father’s estimated birth date, although it means that he must have been extremely old when he died. "Robertus comes Augensis…uxore Beatrice et filiis meis Radulfo, Willermo atque Roberto" made donations to the abbey of St Michel, Tréport by a charter dated 1036, witnessed by "Hugo vicecomes"[1002]. An undated charter, dated to the [1035/50], records the donation of "predium Heltonis quod possedit Gozelinus vicecomes" to the abbey of Sainte-Trinité at Rouen, with the support of "Willelmus comes Normanniæ, et Willelmus, filius Willelmi comitis, qui et hæres Heltonis, et Robertus comes frater eius…Niellus…et Turstinus vicecomites", subscribed by "…filii Turchitilli Hugo et Goffridus necnon Walerannus comes", signed by "Gozelini vicecomitis, Heltonis, Willelmi heredis Heltonis, Walberti fratris Heltonis, Waleranni comitis, Alberici comitis, Heltæ filii Heltonis…"[1003]. An undated charter, dated to [1049], records that "Lezelina comitissa…cum filiis suis" was expelled "de castro Ou" and donated land on the banks of the Seine to Sainte-Trinité de Rouen, with the consent of "filiis suis Hugone, Willelmo, Rotberto"[1004]. He succeeded his father as Comte d'Eu, indicating presumably that he was the eldest son. Orderic Vitalis names “...Rodbertus comes, Willermi Aucensis Satrapæ filius...” among the leading lords under Guillaume II Duke of Normandy[1005]. "Rotbertus comes de Ou et Beatrix conjux eius" donated "jure hereditario silvam de Spinei" to Sainte-Trinité de Rouen, with the consent of "filiis suis", by undated charter dated to "tempore que discordia cepit inter [Willelmus comes Normanniæ] et Henricum regem Francorum", witnessed by "…Willelmi filii Osberni, Rodulfi camerarii…Goisfredi filii Osberni de Ou, Ansfredi fratris eius, Widonis filii Amalrici, Rainaldi de Sancto Martino, Osberti de Albert Villa…"[1006]. "Rotberti comitis de Auco" witnessed a charter of "Rogerius de Buslei" dated 1053[1007]. Robert of Torigny's De Immutatione Ordinis Monachorum records that "Lecelina comitissa Aucensis relicta Willermi comitis" founded "mon. Sancti Petri super Divam virorum et mon. fem. ante urbem Lexoviensem" with "filiis suis Roberto comite Aucensi et Hugone episcopo Lexoviensi"[1008]. The Brevis Relatio de Origine Willelmi Conquestoris records that "Roberto comite Augiensi" contributed 60 ships towards the invasion of England in 1066[1009]. Orderic Vitalis records that “Rodbertus Aucensium comes et Gauterius Gifardus et Radulfus de Mortuomari” and nearly all the seigneurs who lived “trans Sequanam usque ad mare” joined King William II against his brother Robert Duke of Normandy and received considerable sums to fortify their castles, dated to [1089/90][1010]. The necrology of Saint-Nicaise de Meulan records the death of "Robertus comes Aucensis", undated but listed among deaths recorded in early September[1011]. The necrology of Ulterioris Portus monastery records the death "8 Sep" of "Robertus comes Augensis hujus ecclesiæ fundator"[1012].

The necrology of Ulterioris Portus monastery records the death "10 Apr" of "comitissa Beatrix, loci hujus...fundatrix"[1015].

     "m secondly (repudiated before [1080][1016]) as her first husband, MATHILDE of Sicily, daughter of ROGER I Count of Sicily & his first wife Judith d'Evreux (1062-before 1094). The primary source which confirms her parentage and first marriage has not yet been identified. According to Houben[1017], Mathilde who married Robert Comte d'Eu was the daughter of Roger I Count of Sicily by his second wife, and a different person from Mathilde his daughter by his first wife who married Raymond Comte de Saint-Gilles. No source is quoted, but this seems unlikely from a chronological point of view as Roger's second marriage took place in [1077], and Robert Comte d'Eu died in [1089/93]. In addition, it seems unlikely that Roger, at the height of his power as Count of Sicily in the late 1080s, would have agreed to his daughter's marriage to an obscure count in northern France at the same time as arranging royal marriages for his other daughters. She married secondly ([1080], divorced [1088]) as his second wife, Raymond de Toulouse, who later succeeded as Raymond IV Comte de Toulouse. Malaterra records the marriage of "Raimundus comes Provinciarum" and "Matildem filiam suam [Rogerii Siculorum comitis]…de prima uxore" which he dates to 1080[1018]."

     “Guillaume was born about 1020, the son of Guillaume I, comte d'Hiémois, comte d'Eu, and Lesceline de Tourville. The name of Bussac was attached to him by the medieval chronicler Robert de Torigny.
     “There is debate among historians whether Guillaume was the older or younger son, and so whether he at one stage held the county of Eu. One view is that his brother Robert inherited the county. The other, held by several historians, is that he inherited Eu from his father, but then rebelled against his uncle Richard II 'the Good', duke of Normandy, was expelled from the fortress of Eu, was deprived of his county and sent into exile about 1050.
     “Guillaume then paid homage to Henri I, king of France. He gave to Guillaume in marriage Adélaide de Soissons, daughter and heiress of Renaud de Soissons, Grand Maitre d'Hôtel de France, one of the great officers of the crown of France and head of the king's household. Guillaume became count of Soissons by right of his wife. They had four children, Renaud II, Jean I, Manasses and Ramentrudis, of whom Jean I and Ramentrudis would have progeny.
     “Guillaume died about 1076.
     “Renaud II succeeded as count of Soissons, followed by his brother Jean I. Jean I's son Renaud III succeeded him. In 1141 the childless Renaud III transferred the county of Soissons to Ives II de Nesle and became a monk.
     “Ives II, who was the son of Ives de Nesle and Ramentrudis de Soissons, sister of Renaud II and Jean I, was also childless, and left Soissons to Conon de Nesle, eldest son of his brother Radulf de Nesle, Burggraaf van Brugge.

     "[RENAUD de Soissons ([985/92]-early 1057). The Acta Sanctorum commentary on the life of St Simon de Valois, based on an undated manuscript of the abbey of Saint-Claude, records that "Nocherius seu Nocherus, Achardi filius" married in 992 "Alaidem comitissam Suessionensem, filiam comitis Gilberti, viduam Guidonis Viromanduensis, et matrem Rainaudi comitis Suessionensem"[656]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[657], he was Renaud, possible son of Nocher Comte de Bar-sur-Aube & his wife Adelisa Ctss de Soissons. This is consistent with the same source stating that Nocher’s wife was the daughter, not the widow, of Guy Comte de Soissons, but the primary source (if any) on which the information is based has not been identified. As Renaud named his son Guy, it appears more likely that the Acta Sanctorum version is correct. Comte de Soissons. Henri I King of France donated the churches in "villa…Carcrisia…Corciaci atque…Colomellæ…Colisiaci…Bruelii atque…Nantoilo" to Notre-Dame de Soissons by charter dated 18 May 1057, which records that "mortuis eodem anno Rainaldo comite et eius filio Vuidone et obsessa turre Suession. ab Henrico rege"[658].
     "m ([after Feb 1031]) ---. The name of Renaud's wife is not known. Two sources may provide some indication of the family connections of Renaud’s wife. Firstly, the Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis which names "comes Suessionis et comes de Dommartin et comes de Ronaco et Manasses cui agnomen Calva-asina" as brothers ("fratres") of "Helduino comiti de Ramerut", naming "Rainaldum comitem Suessionis et Iohannem, qui fratri successit in comitatum, et Manassem Suessionensem episcopum et filias" as the children of "supradictus comes Suessionis Guilermus…frater iam dicti Helduini"[659]. It is clear from other sources that Guillaume Comte de Soissons descended from the family of the dukes of Normandy. The only way in which the Genealogiæ could make sense is if "fratres" can be interpreted as including brothers-in-law (an interpretation which has been observed and confirmed as correct in other cases). If that is correct, it is possible that Renaud’s wife had married firstly, as his second wife, Hilduin [III] Seigneur de Ramerupt. If this is correct, Renaud would have married after 1032, the last date when Hilduin [II] is recorded. This timing appears to fit with the general chronology of the Soissons family, although if it is correct it is likely that Hilduin’s widow would have been Renaud’s second wife. Secondly, one version of the Gesta Episcoporum Cameracensium (Continuatio) names “Manasses Remensium archiepiscopus, electi Manassæ avunculus”[660], the latter referring to Manassès Bishop of Cambrai and later Bishop of Cambrai, who was Renaud’s grandson, and the former to Manassès Archbishop of Reims who was the son of Manassès “le Chauve” Vidame de Reims (see the document CHAMPAGNE NOBILITY). It appears unlikely that the family connection was through the Normandy family of Renaud’s son-in-law Guillaume “Busac” d’Eu. On the other hand, the connection may have been through the previous generation, asssuming that “avunculus” in the source in question can be interpreted loosely. This second hypothesis would also provide an explanation for the introduction of the name Manassès into the family of the comtes de Soissons. If this hypothesis is correct, Renaud’s wife was ---, niece of Guy Archbishop of Reims, daughter of ---"

     "His epithet 'Eveille-Chien' may refer to someone who gets up early to go hunting with his pack of dogs. According to Orderic Vitalis, he acquired his epithet because of the continuing need to resist the devastations caused by his Angevin neighbours.
     "His father, allied with the count of Blois, had been forced in 996 to accept the suzerainty of Foulques III 'Nerra', comte d'Anjou, who had a fearsome record of violence and cruelty. Upon Herbert's accession to the county, Foulques demanded his support in his fight against Eudes II, comte de Blois, Chartres, Troyes et Champagne. The contingent that Herbert led to the Battle of Pontlevoy on 6 July 1016, was decisive for Foulques' victory over Eudes.
     "The weakening of royal power allowed Herbert increased personal power, and he began to strike his own currency. He gave land to his supporters, on which he authorised them to construct castles. Having built up Maine's defences, he turned to the counts of Blois and Rennes to fight against the count of Anjou and the king of France.
     "As Avesgaud, bishop of Le Mans, was a supporter of Anjou, the conflict quickly became local and Avesgaud, who had to take refuge at La Ferté-Bernard, pronounced an interdict of excommunication on the diocese of Le Mans.

Commentary
     "Possible daughter: (perhaps one, but not both, of the following)
     "The exact manner of inheritance of the county of Maine by the lords of La Flèche is uncertain. Two of these possibilities are either that Jean's wife Paula was a daughter of Herbert, or that Jean (son of Landry alias Lancelin) was a maternal grandson of Herbert. These two scenarios obviously cannot both be true (and it is possible that neither of them are). The possibilities are discussed in detail on Paula's page.
