     "AIMERY [II] de Narbonne (-killed in battle Fraga, Aragon 17 Jul 1134). A charter dated 7 Feb 1102 names "domini Haymerici vicecomitis Narbonensis et uxoris eius…Matta filiorumque eorum…Aymericus, Giscardus et Bernardus"[1055]. Vicomte de Narbonne. “Aymericus de Narbona filius Mahaltis fæminæ” swore allegiance to “Bernard-Atonem filium qui fuisti Hermengardis” by charter dated to [1107][1056]. "Raimundus Berengarii…Barchinonensis comes et marchio", appointed "Aimericum fratrem meum" as one of his manumissores in his testament dated [8 Jul] 1130[1057]. “Aymericus Narbonæ et uxor mea Ermessindis vicecomitissa et filius meus Aymericus” granted property to “Geraldo de Condomo et uxori tuæ Garsindæ” by charter dated 19 Jan 1130[1058]. The Chronica Adefonsi Imperatoris names "…Gaston of Béarn, Centulle of Bigorre and Almaric of Narbonne" among those who were killed in the battle of Fraga[1059]. Aimery was a close friend of Alfonso [I] "el Batallador" King of Aragon, who was himself mortally wounded during the battle of Fraga.
     "m firstly (before 26 May 1114) ERMENGARDE, daughter of --- (-[1 May] ----). "Aimericus vicecomes Narbonensis et uxor mea Ermengardis" donated property to the abbey of Lagrasse by charter dated 26 May 1114[1060]. It is assumed that Ermengarde was a different person from “Ermessindis” who is recorded as Aimery´s wife in 1130 (see below). It appears unlikely there would be confusion between the two names in contemporary sources as the roots for the second part of the two names are different. It is possible that Ermengarde was related to the vicomtes de Béziers as the testament of “Raymundo Trencavelli vicecomite”, dated 21 Apr 1154, names “Hermengardæ de Narbona meæ consanguineæ“[1061], and no other relationship between the two families has yet been identified. The necrology of the abbey of Quarante records the death "Kal Mai" of "Hermengardis vicecomitissa Narbonensis"[1062]. As this date is inconsistent with the date of death of her daughter Ermengarde, as reported in other sources, it is possible that this entry refers to the first wife of Vicomte Aimery [II].
     "m secondly ERMESINDE, daughter of --- (-after 19 Jan 1130). “Aymericus Narbonæ et uxor mea Ermessindis vicecomitissa et filius meus Aymericus” granted property to “Geraldo de Condomo et uxori tuæ Garsindæ” by charter dated 19 Jan 1130[1063]."

     "Aimeri was the eldest son of Aimeri I, vicomte de Narbonne, and Maud de Hauteville. His mother was the widow of Raimund Berengar II-III, conde de Barcelona, making him a half-brother of Ramon Berenguer III el Grande, conde de Barcelona, Provence & Carcassonne. He initially ruled as a minor under the regency of his mother. After he came of age he married Ermengarde, with whom he had two children. With his second wife Hermisende he had a daughter Ermesenda who would have progeny, marrying Manrique Perez de Lara, 1.lord of Molina, who became vicomte de Narbonne in her name after Aimeri's death.
     "Probably in 1112 or 1113 Aimeri received the Fenouillèdes and the Peyrepertusès from his half-brother in return for swearing an oath of fealty against Bernard Atton IV, vicomte d'Albi, de Nimes et Carcassonne, with whom Ramon Berenguer was at war. The lords of the Fenouillèdes and the Peyrepertusès remained vassals of Narbonne until the Albigensian Crusade and the viscounts of Narbonne took the lordship of Rouffiac near Peyrepertusès into their own hands. When Doulce de Gevaudan, heiress of Provence, died and her husband Ramon Berenguer claimed the county of Provence, Aimeri received the fief of Beaucaire and the terre d'Argence near the mouth of the Rhône in Provence.
     "Sometime during his rule, Aimeri granted the merchants of Narbonne the right to form a consulate in imitation of Genoa. Probably he saw the self-organisation of his merchants and their formation of a military in their own defence as an aid to his own rule so long as the consulate remained under vice-comital control, which in the end it did not. Aimeri also participated in 1114-15 in the Balearic Islands expedition led by the Republic of Pisa and Ramon Berenguer.
     "In 1114 Aimeri put an end to conflicting claims in the village of Le Lac on the Via Domitia by transferring his rights there to the abbey of Lagrasse in return for a large loan of gold and silver. He also entered into a conflict with his cousin Richard de Millau, archbishop of Narbonne, who may have been a compromise candidate between Aimeri and the pope for the archiepiscopal throne. Richard claimed that Aimeri _fecit mihi hominium propriis manibus_ ('did homage to (him) with his own hands') received _fedovia_ ('fiefs' from the Church 'in the presence of the universal synod of the province of Narbonne.' The archbishop accused Aimeri of deceiving him concerning the extent of the Church's fiefs and attempting to hold land as his by inheritance which was his by grant of the Church; he also accused Aimeri of withholding revenues from taxes and imposts that should have gone to the Church. Aimeri was recorded to have even abused church property violently and there were disputes concerning who controlled the towers of the city walls. The whole dispute lasted a long time, but Aimeri was made to come to terms by the papacy's support of Richard. In the end he had to swear oaths of fealty to the archbishop, recognise the archbishop's independent temporal lordship, and concede that some of the rights he held in the city of Narbonne constituted a fief of the archbishopric.
     "In 1123 Bernard Atton IV declared war on Aimeri, who responded by razing the castle _pro justicia,_ ('out of justice') at Montséret, which had been held by Aimeri's vassal Bernard Amati until he had treacherously turned it over to Bernard Atton. Not long after this Aimeri turned towards Iberia and joined the _Reconquista_ being waged by Alfonso I 'the Battler', king of Aragón, in the Ebro valley.
     "In July 1131 Aimeri was at the deathbed of his half-brother to witness his final testament, of which he was to be the executor. Aimeri died in battle on 17 July 1134 before the walls of the Moorish city of Fraga, which Alfonso had been besieging."⁵

     "Viscount Aimery II was the eldest son of viscount Aimery I of Narbonne by his wife Mathilde, 2nd daughter of Robert Guiscard of hauteville, duke of Apulia and Calabria, prince of Salerno and duke of Amalfi, by his 2nd wife Sichelgaita, dau of Prince Gaimar IV of Salerno by his 2nd wife Gemma, dau of a count Laidulf, presumably of Teano."² Aimera/Aimerico II (?)

     "Aymeri2 II de Narbonne, vicomte de Narbonne de 1105 à 1134, tué à la bataille de Fraga, en Espagne, le 17 juillet 1134, a été le principal allié en Occitanie de son demi-frère, Raimond Bérenger III, comte de Barcelone, au cours des guerres menées par ce dernier contre le comte de Toulouse, Alphonse Jourdain et les Trencavel.
Résumé biographique
     "Aymeri est l’aîné des quatre fils nés du vicomte Aymeri Ier de Narbonne et de Mahaut, fille de Robert Guiscard et veuve de Raimond Bérenger II de Barcelone. Il succède à son père après la mort de celui-ci en Terre Sainte, en 1104-1105.
     "Entre avril 1111 et juin 1112, son demi-frère, le comte de Barcelone Raimond Bérenger III, lui inféode le Fenouillèdes et le Peyrepertusès en échange de son appui militaire dans la guerre que le comte mène alors contre Bernard Aton IV3.
     "C'est aussi probablement en raison de l'aide que le vicomte fourni à son frère dans la guerre que celui-ci mène contre le comte Alphonse Jourdain de Toulouse pour le contrôle de la Provence que Raimond Bérenger inféode à Aymeri Beaucaire et la terre d'Argence4. Selon les termes du traité de paix négocié entre les comtes de Barcelone et de Toulouse pour le partage de la Provence, traité signé le 16 septembre 1125 et auquel souscrit le vicomte de Narbonne à titre de témoin, Raimond Bérenger cède à Alphonse Beaucaire et la terre d'Argence. Le vicomte Aymeri tiendra ces possessions en fief du comte de Toulouse, et Bernard d'Anduze les tiendra en fief du vicomte5.
     "En 1114, Aymeri participe à l'expédition menée par le comte de Barcelone et la République de Pise contre les îles Baléares, alors aux mains des musulmans. Le Liber maiolichinus (en) rapporte la participation à cette expédition (en) des plus grands seigneurs occitans : Guilhem V de Montpellier et Aymeri II de Narbonne, avec 20 navires chacun, Raymond des Baux, avec sept navires.
     "Aimeri II est tué le 17 juillet 1134 lors de la bataille de Fraga en combattant les Almoravides aux côtés d'Alphonse le Batailleur, roi d'Aragon.
     "Il est inhumé dans l'abbaye de Lagrasse, dont son frère Bérenger était alors abbé6.
     "Ermengarde, l'aînée de ses filles, lui succède.
Mariages et enfants
Ermengarde de Servian et sa descendance
     "La première épouse du vicomte, Ermengarde, est attestée à ses côtés pour la première fois dans une charte du 26 mai 1114 et disparaît des documents après le 15 mars 11267,8. L’apparition d’une nouvelle femme aux côtés d’Aymeri en 1130 pouvait laisser supposer aux historiens la mort d’Ermengarde entre ces deux dates8. La médiéviste Jacqueline Caille a cependant signalé en 20051 la découverte du résumé d’un acte daté de 1152, par lequel Ermengarde de Servian, du conseil d’Ermengarde, vicomtesse de Narbonne, sa fille, et de R. Étienne de Servian, son neveu, donne l’étang de Colobricis9 au prieuré de Cassan. Caille en conclut que la première épouse d’Aymeri n’est pas morte entre 1126 et 1130, mais a plutôt été répudiée1. La famille de Servian, à laquelle appartient cette Ermengarde, s’affirme à partir de la fin du xie siècle comme l’une des plus puissantes de la noblesse biterroise, immédiatement après les vicomtes de Béziers (la famille Trencavel) et les seigneurs de Montpellier10. La vicomtesse pourrait être la sœur d'Étienne de Servian, connu de 1103 à 1112, et la tante de Raymond Étienne de Servian (le neveu cité dans l'acte de 1152), attesté de 1127 à 11581,11. Sa répudiation pourrait peut-être s'expliquer, selon J. Caille, par le retour en grâce des seigneurs de Servian auprès des vicomtes Trencavel, avec qui Aymeri II a eu de nombreux différends1.
     "Ermengarde de Servian est la mère des trois premiers enfants connus du vicomte de Narbonne, deux fils et une fille. Les deux fils, attestés dans diverses chartes du vivant de son époux, sont morts avant ce dernier : l’aîné, portant le prénom dynastique d’Aymeri comme son père et son grand-père, apparaît dans trois documents entre 1126 et 1132; un acte de juin 1131 par lequel le vicomte s’engage avec ses fils prouve qu’ils étaient par ailleurs au moins deux à cette date. Sa fille, prénommée Ermengarde comme sa mère, est, selon une chronique juive écrite vers 1160-1161, la troisième enfant du vicomte et lui succède à sa mort en 113412.
Ermessinde et sa fille
     "La seconde femme d’Aymeri II, Ermessinde, épousée après la répudiation d’Ermengarde de Servian, paraît dans un seul acte du 19 janvier 1130. Sa famille est inconnue, mais son prénom a conduit les historiens à supposer qu'elle était la mère de la deuxième fille du vicomte, également baptisée Ermessinde13,14.
     "Cette seconde fille, Ermessinde de Narbonne, morte en janvier 1177, est mariée vers 1152-1153 à un grand noble castillan, le comte Manrique de Lara († 1164), seigneur de Molina et membre de l'une des plus puissantes familles du royaume de Castille. Parmi ses nombreux enfants, Aymeri († 1177) et Pedro Manrique de Lara († 1202) sont tour à tour désignés comme héritiers de leur tante la vicomtesse Ermengarde de Narbonne (demi-sœur aînée d’Ermessinde), dépourvue de descendance. Pedro devient vicomte de Narbonne en 1192, fondant la seconde branche des vicomtes de Narbonne qui s'éteindra au xve siècle avec Guillaume II.
Premiers contacts de Narbonne avec les troubadours
     "C'est au temps d'Aymeri II que Narbonne est associée pour la première fois avec la lyrique des troubadours, association qui semble remonter aux premiers temps du mouvement, puisqu'elle est l’une des seules cours explicitement mentionnées, avec Poitiers et Ventadour, dans les vers de Guillaume IX d'Aquitaine (1086-1127), le premier troubadour dont les chansons ont été conservées15,16. La première des deux tornadas (envoi) de la chanson du prince-troubadour Pus vezem de novelh florir est adressée à Narbonne et demande de confirmer la bonne qualité de la chanson. Pour le romaniste Walter Meliga, cet envoi fait entrevoir l'existence d'un milieu de passionnés de poésie à Narbonne17 dès cette époque.
     "Guillaume de Poitiers
     "Pus vezem de novelh florir vers 37-46 [18]
     "Traduction de Alfred Jeanroy18
     "Traduction de Alexander Kiriyatskiy19
     "Cet intérêt de Narbonne pour la poésie des troubadours connaîtra par la suite son apogée sous le règne de la fille du vicomte, Ermengarde.

     "Aymeri Ier de Narbonne, mort en Terre Sainte en 1105, a été vicomte de Narbonne de 1071 au plus tard jusqu'à sa mort.
Biographie
     "Sans doute encore jeune lorsque meurt son père, le vicomte Bernard, les premières années d'Aymeri à la tête de la vicomté s'effectuent à l'ombre de son oncle, Pierre, qui assure sa mainmise sur Narbonne à la fois comme vicomte, dont il prend le titre, et comme archevêque élu de la cité (1079-1085/6), malgré l’opposition du pape et de ses légats. Le gouvernement d’Aymeri Ier est surtout marqué par ses affrontements avec les archevêques Dalmace et Bertrand pour le contrôle de Narbonne.
     "D'après un acte disparu auquel il est fait allusion dans des documents postérieurs, Aymeri Ier aurait autorisé en 1093 un groupe de moines bénédictins à s'installer dans la forêt de Fontfroide1, point de départ modeste de ce qui allait plus tard devenir l'un des plus puissants monastères de la région, l’abbaye cistercienne de Fontfroide.
     "Parti en Terre Sainte vers 1103, le vicomte Aymeri Ier y meurt peu après. Son fils aîné Aymeri II lui succède.
     "Il est le premier vicomte narbonnais à porter le prénom dynastique d’Aymeri, marqueur lignager qui va se perpétuer chez ses successeurs jusqu’à la fin du xive siècle2. L'adoption de ce prénom au sein de la famille vicomtale de Narbonne a suscité chez les spécialistes de la littérature médiévale une controverse concernant ses liens éventuels avec le héros épique Aymeri de Narbonne3.
Mariage et descendance
     "Entre 1085 et 1087, il épouse Mahaut de Pouille, fille de Robert Guiscard, duc de Pouille, veuve de Raimond Bérenger II, comte de Barcelone, de qui il eut :
     "Le couple eut peut-être aussi une fille. La rubrique d'un acte aujourd'hui perdu du Liber feudorum maior évoque le mariage entre un vicomte du nom de Pierre et Mabilia (Amibilia), sœur du comte Raimond Bérenger III de Barcelone, le fils né du premier mariage de Mahaut4. Comme l'acte en lui-même est perdu et qu'aucun autre document ne mentionne cette Mabilia, les généalogistes et les historiens en sont réduits aux hypothèses. Mabilia pourrait être née de l'un ou l'autre des mariages de Mahaut avec Raimond Bérenger II de Barcelone ou le vicomte de Narbonne4.

The primary source on which this is based has not been traced. It is possible that the affiliation is speculative, suggested by her being named after her supposed mother. However, the fact that the counties which fell within the sphere of influence of the comtes de Rouergue reverted to the comtes de Toulouse after the childless death of Fides´s supposed sister Berthe, suggests that the latter had no collateral heirs either.

     "EDWARD of York, son of RICHARD Duke of York & his wife Cecily Neville (Rouen 28 Apr 1442-Palace of Westminster 10 Apr 1483, bur St George’s Chapel, Windsor). The Annales of William Wyrcester record the birth 28 Apr 1442 “apud Rothomagum” of “Edwardus filius secundus Ricardi ducis Eboraci et heres, rex Angliæ et Franciæ”, adding that he was “conceptus...in camera proxima capellæ palatii de Hatfelde”[1217]. Questions about Edward's paternity were first raised during his reign and were repeated by his brother Richard who declared him illegitimate on 22 Jun 1483 prior to seizing the throne. The Historie of England by Polydore Vergil records that “Cecyly king Edwards mother...being falsely accusyd of adultery, companyd...of that great injury which hir soon Richard had doon hir”[1218]. The matter even found its way into Shakespeare's Richard III[1219]. It is suggested that his real father was an archer named Blaybourne. Historian Dr Michael K. Jones revealed, in a UK television documentary[1220], evidence from the Rouen cathedral register which indicates that Richard Duke of York was on campaign in Pontoise from 14 Jul to 21 Aug 1441, the period when Edward would have been conceived. This does not of course constitute proof that the duke's absence was continuous throughout the period. In addition, there is no proof that Edward's mother stayed in Rouen throughout the time in question, so she could have joined her husband temporarily on campaign. Created Earl of March [Sep/Dec] 1445. After rebelling with his father, he was also forced to flee at Ludford 13 Oct 1459, arriving in Calais 2 Nov. He was attainted 20 Nov 1459, forfeiting all his titles and honours. He defeated the Lancastrians at Northampton 10 Jul 1460 and captured King Henry VI, whom they brought to London 16 Jul 1460. His attainder and forfeiture were nullified Oct 1460. He succeeded his father 1460 as Duke of York, Earl of Ulster and Earl of Cambridge. He defeated the Earls of Pembroke and Wiltshire at Mortimer's Cross, near Wigmore, 2 or 3 Feb 1461, and marched on London where he was proclaimed EDWARD IV King of England by Parliament 4 Mar 1461. Crowned 28 Jun 1461 at Westminster Abbey. He was deposed in favour of King Henry VI 3 Oct 1470, but restored to the throne 11 Apr 1471. A manuscript calendar records the death “IV Id Apr” in 1483 of “Rege Edwardi iiii”[1221]. The Vitellius A XVI Chronicle records the death “at Westmynster” 9 Apr [1483] of “kyng Edward IV” and his burial at “Wyndesor”[1222].
     "m (Manor of Grafton Regis, Northamptonshire 1 May 1464) as her second husband, ELIZABETH Wydeville, widow of JOHN Grey of Groby, daughter of RICHARD Wydeville Earl Rivers & his wife Jacquette de Luxembourg (Grafton Regis [1437]-St Saviour’s Abbey, Bermondsey 8 Jun 1492, bur St George’s Chapel, Windsor). A manuscript pedigree dated to [1500] names "Queen Elizabeth" as daughter of "Richard Earl Rivers" and mother of "The Queen that now is" and of "Thomas Marquess of Dorset"[1223]. A manuscript records the marriage “in festo Apostolorum Philippi et Jacobi” of “rex Edwardus” and “Elizabetham filiam domini de Rivaye et ducisse Bedfordie”[1224]. The Continuation of the History of Croyland records the marriage “privately” of “king Edward” and “the widow of a certain knight, Elizabeth...though she only had a knight for her father, had a duchess for her mother”[1225]. She was crowned Queen 26 May 1465 at Westminster Abbey. Her marriage was declared null and void 25 Jun 1483 by the Act of Parliament “Titulus Regius”, their children becoming illegitimate, but recognised as valid once more Oct 1485 by the first Parliament of King Henry VII.
     "Mistress (1): ELEANOR Talbot, widow of THOMAS Butler [son of Ralph Boteler Lord Sudeley], daughter of JOHN Talbot Earl of Shrewsbury & his second wife Margaret Beauchamp (-30 Jun 1468). The Memoirs of Philip de Comines record that the bishop of Bath “discovered to the duke of Gloucester that his brother king Edward” had married (before he married the queen), the bishop performing the ceremony “nobody was present but they two and himself”[1226]. The declaration of nullity of the marriage of Edward IV and Elizabeth Wydeville (25 Jun 1483 by the Act of Parliament “Titulus Regius”) was based on his alleged pre-contract of marriage with Eleanor Butler. The Titulus Regius 23 Jan 1483 (O.S.) records that “King Edward was...maryed...to...Dame Elianor Butteler doughter of the old Earl of Shrewesbury, with whom the same King Edward had made a precontracte of matrimonie...bifore he made the...pretensed mariage with...Elizabeth Grey”[1227].
     "Mistress (2): CATHERINE Clarington, daughter of ---. Buck records that King Edward IV had “many mistresses...whereof the most famous was Catharine de Clarington, Elisabeth Wiatt alias Lucy, Jane Shore, the Lady Elianour Talbot” but he cites no primary sources on which he bases this information[1228].
     "Mistress (3): ELIZABETH Lucy [Wyatt/Waite], daughter of ---. Buck records that King Edward IV had “many mistresses...whereof the most famous was Catharine de Clarington, Elisabeth Wiatt alias Lucy, Jane Shore, the Lady Elianour Talbot” but he cites no primary sources on which he bases this information[1229]. Thomas More´s biography of King Richard III (dated to [1513]) records that King Edward IV was betrothed to “Dame Elizabeth Lucy, whom the king had also not long before gotten with child”, although it is clear from the context that More is reporting the same incident which other earlier sources indicate involved Eleanor Talbot (see above)[1230]. No earlier primary source has been found in which Elizabeth Lucy/Wyatt is named, nor has any primary source been traced which identifies the mother(s) of King Edward´s three illegitimate children who are shown below.
     "Mistress (4): JANE Shore, daughter of ---. Buck records that King Edward IV had “many mistresses...whereof the most famous was Catharine de Clarington, Elisabeth Wiatt alias Lucy, Jane Shore, the Lady Elianour Talbot” but he cites no primary sources on which he bases this information[1231]. Thomas More´s biography of King Richard III (dated to [1513]) records that King Edward IV “had three concubines in whom three diverse qualities differently excelled: one the merriest, another the wiliest, the third the holiest harlot in his realm...the merriest was Shore´s wife [Jane]”[1232]."
Med Lands cites: She and Edward IV (?) King of England were associated.³

; Complete Peerage 12 Pt. 1 (1953): 422 (sub Sudeley) gives an abbreviated account of the history of Thomas Boteler, son and heir apparent of Ralph Boteler, 7th Lord Sudeley (died 1473). Specifically, it states the following regarding Thomas Boteler:

"Thomas Boteler, son and heir apparent, married Eleanor, sister of Sir John Talbot, [he] died v.p. and s.p. between 1450 and 1468. His widow died 30 June 1468."

The documents below were recently found in the helpful online A2A Catalogue (http://www.a2a.org.uk/search/index.asp). They concern Thomas Boteler and his wife, Eleanor Talbot. The documents indicate that Thomas Boteler was knighted and that he living 10 May 1453, but died before 15 January 1460. This provides a much more narrow time frame for Sir Thomas Boteler's death than indicated by Complete Peerage. The documents below also identify Sir Thomas' wife, Eleanor Talbot, as the daughter of John Talbot, K.G., 1st Earl of Shrewsbury, by his 2nd wife, Margaret, daughter of Richard Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick. The documents also reveal that shortly before her death in 1468, Lady Eleanor (Talbot) Boteler conveyed her lands to her sister, Elizabeth (Talbot) Mowbray, Duchess of Norfolk.
