     "KONSTANTINOS Monomachos ([1005/1010]-11 Jan 1055, bur Monastery of Mangana). Psellos names "Constantine the son of Theodosius…the last scion of the ancient family of the Monomachi in the male line" when recording that Empress Zoe chose to marry him[1655]. His birth date is estimated from Psellos describing him as a "young man" at the time of the accession of Emperor Romanos III[1656]. Although well-born and held in respect, neither Emperor Basileios II nor Emperor Konstantinos VIII promoted him to office, for they were suspicious about his relations with the Skleros family after his second marriage[1657]. Nevertheless, Konstantinos appears to have enjoyed a close relationship with Empress Zoe, especially during the reign of Emperor Mikhael IV, although the latter fabricated charges against him and exiled him to the island of Lesbos. After her joint accession with her sister, Empress Zoe recalled Konstantinos from exile and married him, despite the Byzantine church's prohibition of third marriages[1658]. He was crowned 12 Jun 1042 as Emperor KONSTANTINOS IX. He started his reign with another flush of largesse, which exhausted his treasury[1659]. His general Giorgios Maniakis recaptured the eastern part of Sicily from the Arabs, but was ordered to withdraw by the emperor before he could push his advantage further. Resentful of this treatment, Maniakis rebelled and was acclaimed emperor by his troops, but was killed in battle in 1043 en route to Constantinople. Leon Tornikios (who had courted Emperor Konstantinos's sister Euprepia) rebelled, was proclaimed emperor Sep 1047, and besieged Constantinople but he was captured and blinded[1660]. After several years of lengthy dispute over the standardisation of the liturgy, the Patriarch Mikhael Cerularios in 1055 excommunicated the papal legates in Constantinople (who had just pronounced his own excommunication) and triggered the final separation of the Orthodox church from the Roman Catholic. Emperor Konstantinos suffered from a debilitating illness which attacked his joints and produced partial paralysis[1661]. Cedrenus records the burial of Emperor Konstantinos the day he died "in Manganis"[1662].
     "m firstly ---. Psellos records that "Constantine the son of Theodosius…the last scion of the ancient family of the Monomachi in the male line" had "in the first place [become] the son-in-law to the outstanding member of court society but his wife fell ill and died"[1663]. There is no indication in the text who this might indicate.
     "m secondly (before 1025) --- Skleraina, daughter of BASILEIOS Skleros & his wife Pulcheria Argyre (-before 1034). Psellos records the second marriage of Konstantinos, arranged by Romanos Argyros before he became emperor, to "the daughter of his sister Pulcheria, who in the past had been married to Basil Sclerus", stating that she was her parents' only child[1664]. Zonaras records that, after the death of his first wife, Konstantinos married "imperatoris Romani nepte ex fratre"[1665]. According to Psellos, she died before her husband's exile to Lesbos[1666].
     "m thirdly (11 Jun 1042) as her third husband, Empress ZOE, widow firstly of Emperor ROMANOS III and secondly of Emperor MIKHAEL IV, daughter of Emperor KONSTANTINOS VIII & his wife Helena --- (980-1050).
     "Mistress (1): MARIA [Skleraina], daughter of --- (-[1044], bur Monastery of Mangana[1667]). Zonaras records that, after the death of his second wife, Konstantinos was unable to marry a third time but took as his mistress "consobrina uxoris suæ…adulescentula…et nobili Sclerorum familia orta"[1668]. Psellos records that "the niece of his late wife" became mistress of Konstantinos Monomakhos, the future Emperor Konstantinos IX, after the death of his second wife, being unable to marry her because of the Orthodox church's prohibition of third marriages[1669]. As Psellos, in an earlier passage, records that the second wife of Konstantinos was her parents' only child[1670], the word "niece" cannot be interpreted in its strict sense in this text. The editor of the edition of Psellos which has been consulted states that she was the sister of Romanos Skleros and granddaughter of Bardas (children of an otherwise unrecorded brother of Basileios Skleros), but the primary source on which this is based has not so far been identified[1671]. If this is correct, she and her brother must have been born from an otherwise second marriage of Basileios Skleros. Psellos hints that this might be correct when he refers to her in later passages as "Sclerena"[1672]. Another possibility is that one of Maria's parents was the daughter or son of either Pulcheria Argyre or Basileios Skleros (the parents of Konstantinos's first wife) by a second marriage: Psellos does suggest that Pulcheria and Basileios's marriage terminated early when he states that "…Pulcheria…in the past had been married to Basil Sclerus"[1673]. The primary source which confirms her name has not so far been identified. She followed him into exile on Lesbos in 1034. She was recalled to Constantinople after her husband's accession but was unpopular, her presence causing a riot 9 Mar 1044. Eventually, she was introduced openly to the Palace as her husband's mistress, acting as a junior consort, and was granted the title Augusta[1674]. Psellos records the death of "Sclerena" and the emperor's grief[1675].
     "Mistress (2): (after 1044) GORANDUXT of Georgia, daughter of GIORGI I King of Georgia & [his wife Mariam of Vaspurakan]. Psellos records that the emperor "fell in love with…one of our hostages from Alania…the daughter of the king there"[1676]. She became the emperor's mistress and was granted the title Augusta[1677]. Zonaras records that, after the death of Empress Zoe, Emperor Konstantinos fell in love with "adulescentulam quondam Alani principis filiam, obsidem Romanis datam" and installed her as "Augustam"[1678]. The Georgian Chronicle records that Emperor Konstantinos IX requested "of Bagrat his sister Goranduxt"[1679]. The Georgian Chronicle records that "Georgi" died leaving "two sons Bagrat and Demetre and two daughters"[1680]. The source contains no indication of the name of the mother of the two daughters."

      ; Per Genealogics:
     "Konstantinos IX Monomakhos was born about 1000, the son of Theodosios Monomachos, an important bureaucrat under emperors Basilius II and Konstantinos VII. At some point Theodosios had been suspected of conspiracy and his son's career suffered accordingly. Except for Psellos, there is no record of Konstantinos' first wife. Before 1025 he married a daughter (given by some sources as Pulcheria, by others as Helena) of Basileios (Basilos) Skleros, himself given in some sources as a grandson of Emperor Bardas Skleros (though other sources show no progeny for Bardas). Konstantinos' position improved as his second wife was a niece of Emperor Romanos III Argyros. With her he had a daughter 'Irene' Maria who would have progeny. Konstantinos' wife is said to have died between 1032 and 1034.
     "For catching the eye of Empress Zoe, daughter of Emperor Constantine VIII, Konstantinos was exiled to the island of Lesbos by her second husband, Emperor Michael IV (her first had been Emperor Romanos III, uncle of Konstantins' second wife). He was retrieved from exile in 1042, when he was appointed judge in Greece, but before he undertook his appointment, Konstantinos was summoned to Constantinople as Zoe's choice for husband. They were married on 11 June 1042, without the participation of Patriarch Alexius I of Constantinople, who refused to officiate over a third marriage (for both spouses). On the following day Konstantinos was formally proclaimed emperor, together with Zoe and her sister Theodora. Empress Zoe died about 1050, leaving no progeny, and her sister retired from her role.
     "Konstantinos purged the relatives of Michael IV from the court. The new emperor was pleasure-loving and prone to violent outbursts on suspicion of conspiracy. In August 1042, under the influence of the Skleroi (the family of his second wife), Konstantinos relieved General George Maniakes from his command in Italy, and Maniakes rebelled, declaring himself emperor in September. He transferred his troops into the Balkans and was about to defeat Konstantinos' army in battle when he was wounded and died on the field, ending the crisis in 1043. Immediately after the victory, Konstantinos was attacked by a fleet from Kievan Rus', which may have been part of the Maniakes rebellion. They too were defeated, with the help of Greek fire. In 1046 Konstantinos married his daughter 'Irene' Maria to Vsevolod I, the future grand duke of Kiev, the favourite son of his dangerous opponent Jaroslav I Vladimirovitch, grand duke of Kiev, by Ingegerd of Sweden.
     "In 1045 Konstantinos annexed the Armenian kingdom of Ani, but this expansion merely exposed the empire to new enemies. In 1046 the Byzantines came into contact for the first time with the Seljuk Turks. They met in battle in Armenia in 1048, and settled a truce the following year. However, Konstantinos foolishly disbanded the Armenian troops to save money in 1053, leaving the eastern frontier poorly defended at precisely the moment when its defences should have been strengthened. Even if Seljuk rulers were willing to abide by the treaty, their unruly Turcoman allies showed much less restraint. Thus Konstantinos weakened the Byzantine forces, which would later lead to their cataclysmic defeat at the Battle of Manzikert in 1071.
     "In 1047 Konstantinos was faced by the rebellion of his nephew Leo Tornikios in Adrianople. Tornikios gained support in most of Thrace and vainly attempted to take Constantinople. Forced to retreat, Tornikios failed in another siege, and was captured during his flight. The revolt had weakened Byzantine defences in the Balkans and in 1048 the area was raided by the Pechenegs, who continued to plunder it for the next five years. The emperor's efforts to contain the enemy through diplomacy merely exacerbated the situation, as rival Pecheneg leaders clashed on Byzantine ground, and Pecheneg settlers were allowed to live in compact settlements in the Balkans, making it difficult to suppress their rebellion. Faced with such difficulties, Konstantinos may have sought Hungarian support.
     "Internally, Konstantinos sought to secure his position by favouring the nobility _(dynatoi)_ and granting generous tax immunities to major landowners and the church. Similarly, he seems to have taken recourse to the _pronoia_ system, a sort of Byzantine feudal contract in which tracts of land (or the tax revenues from them) were granted to particular individuals in exchange for contributing and maintaining military forces. Both expedients gradually compromised the effectiveness of the state and contributed to the development of the crisis that engulfed Byzantium in the second half of the 11th century.
     "In 1054 the centuries-old differences between the Greek and Roman churches led to their final separation. Legates from Pope Leo IX excommunicated the patriarch of Constantinople Michael Keroularios when Keroularios would not agree to adopt western church practices, and in return Keroularios excommunicated the legates. This sabotaged Konstantins' attempts to ally with the pope against the Normans, who had taken advantage of Maniakes' disappearance to take over Southern Italy.
     "Konstantinos tried to intervene, but he fell ill and died on 11 January of the following year. Theodora, the elderly daughter of Konstantinos VIII who had ruled with her sister Zoe since 1042, was recalled from her retirement and named empress.
     "Konstantinos IX was also a patron of the arts and literature, and during his reign the university in Constantinople expanded its juridical and philosophical programs. The literary circle at court included the philosopher and historian Michael Psellos, whose _Chronographia_ records the history of Konstantinos' reign. Psellos left a physical description of Konstantinos in his _Chronographia:_ he was 'ruddy as the sun, but all his breast, and down to his feet...(were) coloured the purest white all over, with exquisite accuracy. When he was in his prime, before his limbs lost their virility, anyone who cared to look at him closely would surely have likened his head to the sun in its glory, so radiant was it, and his hair to the rays of the sun, while the in rest of his body he would have seen the purest and most translucent crystal.'
     "Overall, Konstantinos' reign was a disaster for the Byzantine empire; in particular, the military weakness for which he was largely responsible greatly contributed to the subsequent loss of Asia Minor to the Turks, and the ultimate fall of Constantinople to the Muslim Ottomans in 1453.
     "Konstantinos' family name Monomakhos ('one who fights alone') was inherited by his grandson Vladimir Monomakh, grand duke of Kiev."⁹ EDV-28.

Ralph de Diceto´s Abbreviationes Chronicorum record in 1165 that “regina Francorum” gave birth to “filium...Philippum”[509]. William of Tyre names him and records his parentage, specifying that he was his father's only son[510]. The Chronique de Guillaume de Nangis records in 1165 the birth "un des jours d'août, jour de dimanche, dans l'octave de l'Assomption de sainte Marie" of "un fils…Philippe" to King Louis[511]. The Chronicon Hanoniense names "Philippum" as the son of "Ludovicus rex" and his wife Alix de Champagne[512]. He was consecrated associate-king 1 Nov 1179, Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Reims. He succeeded his father in 1180 as PHILIPPE II “Auguste” King of France. In 1183, following the death without a direct heir of Elisabeth de Vermandois (first wife of Philippe Count of Flanders), Philippe claimed her inheritance. He conquered Chauny and Saint-Quentin in 1182, and under the Treaty of Boves in Jul 1185 took parts of Valois and Amiénois. He took Tournai from Flanders in 1187. He left on the Third Crusade from Vézelay with Richard I King of England 4 Jul 1190, landing at Acre 20 Apr 1191. He returned to France in early Aug 1191 soon after the final capitulation of Acre 12 Jul 1191[513]. After the death of Philippe Count of Flanders in 1191, Philippe took control of Artois and parts of Vermandois. He was a candidate for the imperial throne in 1197, following the death of Emperor Heinrich IV. He recaptured Normandy from John King of England in 1204. He defeated the English/German/Flemish coalition at Bouvines 27 Jul 1214. He took possession of Alençon in Jan 1221, Clermont-en-Beauvaisis in 1218, Beaumont-sur-Oise in Apr 1223. The necrology of Sainte-Chapelle records the death "II Id Jul" of "domini Philippi regis Francie"[514]. The Chronique de Guillaume de Nangis records the death in 1223 "à Mantes, la veille des ides de juillet" of King Philippe and his burial "dans le monastère de Saint-Denis en France"[515].
     "m firstly (Abbaye de la Sainte-Trinité, Bapaume, Pas-de-Calais 28 Apr 1180) ISABELLE de Hainaut, daughter of BAUDOUIN V Comte de Hainaut [BAUDOUIN VIII “le Courageux” Count of Flanders] & his wife Marguerite II Ctss of Flanders (23 Apr 1170-Paris 14/15 Mar 1190, bur Paris, Cathedral of Notre-Dame). The Chronicon Hanoniense records the birth "mense Aprili 1170" of "filiam Elizabeth" to "Balduinus [et] Margharetam…Mathie comitis Boloniensis sororem"[516]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines in 1191 names "Elizabeth Francie reginam…Hyolenz uxorem Petri Autisiodorensis et Sibiliam domnam Bellioci uxorem Wichardi" as the three daughters of "Balduinus [Haynaco]"[517]. The Annales S. Benigni Divisionensis names the wife of Philippe II King of France as "Elisabeth regina que fuit soror Balduini comitis Flandrie", when recording the birth of their son Louis in 1187[518]. Her marriage is recorded by Matthew of Paris, who also names her parents, although he incorrectly calls her "Margareta"[519]. This marriage was arranged by her maternal uncle Philippe Count of Flanders while he was adviser to Philippe II King of France in 1180 after the latter's accession, with Artois as her dowry[520]. Consecrated Queen of France 29 May 1180, Abbaye de Saint-Denis. King Philippe planned to repudiate her in 1186, for lack of a male heir. The Flandria Generosa records the death in 1189 of "Elisabeth Francorum regina" after giving birth to twins, specifying her burial "in eccleisa beatæ Mariæ Parisius"[521]. The Gestis Philippi II Augusti records the death "1189 Id Mar" of "Elysabeth regina uxor Philippi Francorum regis" and her burial "in ecclesiam beatissime virginis Marie Parisius"[522]. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Denis records the death "II Id Mar" of "Isabel regina Francorum"[523].
     "m secondly (Notre-Dame d’Amiens, Somme 14 Aug 1193, repudiated later that year, annulled Compiègne 5 Nov 1193, annulment declared illegal 13 Mar 1195, remarried 1200) INGEBJÖRG of Denmark, daughter of VALDEMAR I King of Denmark & his wife Sofia --- (1174-Priory of Saint-Jean-en-l’Ile, near Corbeil, Essonne 29 Jul 1236, bur Saint Jean-en-l'Ile). The Chronicle of Ralph of Coggeshall records the marriage of King Philippe in 1193 and "sororem regis Daciæ…Ingelburgh" and his repudiation of her after the wedding[524]. The Balduini Ninovensis Chronicon records the marriage of "Philippus [rex]" and "filiam…regis Dano", recording that he repudiated her after 8 days and imprisoned her[525]. She was known as ISAMBOUR in France. She was consecrated Queen of France 15 Aug 1193, but during the ceremony King Philippe "by the devil's suggestion, began to be horrified, to tremble and turn pale at the sight of her"[526]. The chronicler William of Newburgh reported that the king's aversion to Isambour was reported to be due to the fetid smell of her breath or to some hidden deformity[527]. King Philippe disavowed her, imprisoned her at Cysoing and procured an annulment from prelates at the synod of Compiègne, although this was not recognised by the Pope[528]. A charter dated 1193 records that Etienne Bishop of Tournai requested Guillaume Archbishop of Reims to protect "Reginam" who had sought protection in Cysoing abbey[529]. Protracted correspondence with successive Popes ensued, the dispute being complicated by the king's bigamous third marriage. King Philippe's refusal to restore Isambour eventually resulted in Pope Innocent III's interdict on France 13 Jan 1200. The king restored Isambour as queen from Apr 1213, although it is likely that the couple did not live together, Isambour living on her dower lands near Orléans[530]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the death in 1237 of "senior regina Francie…Guineburgis sive Indeburgis de Dacia" specifying that she was "domna Aurelianensis"[531]. The necrology of the Eglise Cathédrale de Paris records the death "IV Kal Aug" of "regina Ysenburgis…uxor regis Francorum Philippi"[532].
     "m thirdly (bigamously 1 Jun 1196, repudiated 1200) AGNES von Andechs-Merano, daughter of BERTHOLD III Duke of Merano, Marchese of Istria, Graf von Andechs & his wife Agnes von Wettin ([1180]-Château de Poissy, Yvelines 18/19 Jul 1201, bur église abbatiale de Saint-Corentin, Rosay, near Mantes, Yvelines). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the marriage in 1196 of "Philippus [rex]" and "Mariam filiam ducis Meranie et marchionis Histrie"[533]. The Gestis Philippi II Augusti records the marriage in Jun 1196 of "Philippus rex" and "Mariam filiam ducis Meranie et Boemie marchionisque Hystrie"[534]. The De Fundatoribus Monasterii Diessenses names "Agnes regina Francie…filia Pertoldi quondam ducis Meranie" when recording her death, in 1250 which is incorrect[535]. The Balduini Ninovensis Chronicon records the third marriage of "Philippus [rex]" and "filiam Bertoldi ducis de Durenbon", recording that she died giving birth to her third child[536]. Her children were recognised as legitimate by Pope Innocent III 2 Nov 1201. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the death in 1201 of "mater…Philippus puer et Maria soror eius" and her burial "iuxta Melentam in ecclesie beati Corentini"[537]. The necrology of Diessen records the death "Kal Aug XIII" of "Chuniza Agnes regina Francie filia ducis Meranie Berhtoldi"[538]. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Denis records the death "XIV Kal Aug" of "Agnes regina Francie"[539].

     "Agnès was born about 1176, the daughter of Berthold VI von Andechs, duke of Meran and Dalmatia, and Agnes von Nieder-Lausitz. She was the sister of Hedwig, later to be canonised, who married Henryk I 'the Bearded', Herzog von Schlesien und Krakau.
     "Philippe II August, king of France, widower of Isabelle of Flanders, wanted to befriend the king of Denmark by marrying his daughter Ingeborg. But the Danes were then very backward in culture and learning, and Ingeborg was dull, and ignorant, not the sort of courtly lady Philippe was accustomed to.
     "Philippe took such a dislike to her that he sent her into a convent and instead, in June 1196, he married the beautiful Agnès. They had a daughter Marie and son Philippe who would have progeny. However Pope Innocent III espoused the cause of Ingeborg and eventually put the kingdom under an interdict. He threatened to forbid any service in any church except in those of the monks and nuns, and there only with the doors shut against outsiders. The whole nation was to be cut off from God because of the monarch's sin.
     "Philippe pretended to agree to a separation from Agnès, and they were divorced in 1200, whereupon he married Ingeborg. In fact he did not turn Agnès away and Ingeborg was imprisoned. Agnès died in 1201, and the pope acknowledged the legitimacy of her children by Philippe."¹⁰

     "Philip I of Boulogne (Philip Hurepel)[1] (1200–1235) was a French prince, Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis in his own right, and Count of Boulogne,[1] Mortain, Aumale, and Dammartin-en-Goële jure uxoris.
     "He was the son of Philip II of France[2] and his controversial third wife Agnes of Merania. Illegitimacy shadowed his birth and career,[3] but he was legitimated by Pope Innocent III. He was associated with founding the Tour du Guet in Calais.[4] He is the first recorded person to bear a differenced version of the arms of France.[5]
     "He was married in c. 1223 to Matilda II, Countess of Boulogne.[1] Young Philip, by right of his wife, became Count of Boulogne, Mortain, Aumale, and Dammartin-en-Goële. He revolted against his sister-in-law Blanche of Castile when his elder half-brother Louis VIII died in 1226.[6] When Philip died in 1235, Matilda continued to reign and was married to Afonso III of Portugal.

     "Alberic reportedly renounced his rights and went to England, for unknown reasons. Apparently he survived his mother and died in 1284.

Neither marriage resulted in progeny.
     "Robert was knighted by his uncle Louis IX, king of France. He took part in the Tunis crusade of 1270, in which he fought with great ferocity to avenge his father, who had been killed in the preceding crusade. His sister Blanche took refuge in France with her young daughter Jeanne following the death in 1274 of her husband Enrique I, king of Navarre. Robert's cousin Philippe III 'le Hardi', king of France, sent him to Navarre to re-establish his sister's authority as regent of Navarre. He did so, capturing Pamplona.
     "Following the Sicilian Vespers, the rebellion in Sicily in 1282 against the rule of the Angevin king Charles I Etienne, king of Naples, Robert came to Naples to help the king, his paternal uncle. In 1284 he took part in the Aragónese Crusade. On Charles' death in 1285 Robert acted as regent of Naples, as Charles' son Charles II was a prisoner of Pedro III, king of Aragon, having been captured by the admiral of the Sicilian fleet, Ruggiero de Lauria, in a naval battle outside Naples. When Charles II was freed on a promise to give up his claim to Sicily, Robert was incensed and left Italy in September 1289.
     "In 1296 King Philippe IV 'le Bel', married to Robert's niece Jeanne, sent Robert to Guyenne to fight the English. He defeated the Flemings in 1297 at the Battle of Furnes, but his son Philippe, fighting at his side, was gravely wounded and died a year later. Robert was again sent into Flanders in July 1302, where he began to ravage the countryside and attempted to take the town of Kortrijk. There he met the Flemish army at the Battle of the Golden Spurs (also known as the Battle of Courtrai) on 11 July. His infantry advanced with great success against the Flemish (mostly city militia), but he ordered their recall to allow his cavalry to make the final, victorious charge. However, on the broken, marshy ground, his knights were unable to gain enough momentum to break the Flemish shield wall, and they were knocked down and slaughtered. Robert led some of the reserves in a second charge in an attempt to reverse their fortunes, but he was cut down by the Flemish infantry. He was buried in the abbey of Maubuisson.
     "Robert's daughter Mathilde inherited Artois, though his grandson Robert III, son of her younger brother Philippe, would unsuccessfully attempt to claim it."⁸

     "Robert II (September 1250 – 11 July 1302) was the Count of Artois, the posthumous son and heir of Robert I and Matilda of Brabant.[1] He was a nephew of Louis IX of France. He died at the Battle of the Golden Spurs.
Life
     "An experienced soldier, he took part in the Aragonese Crusade and attempted an invasion of Sicily in 1287.[2] In 1288 Robert began work on a great park at Hesdin. The park contained a menagerie, aviaries, fishponds, orchards, an enclosed garden and facilities for tournaments.[3] It also contained mechanical statues including waving monkeys draped in skins.[4]
     "He defeated the Flemings in 1297 at the Battle of Furnes.[5] He was again sent into Flanders in July 1302, where he began to ravage the countryside and attempted to take the town of Kortrijk (Courtrai).
Battle of the Golden Spurs
     "He then met the Flemish army at the Battle of the Golden Spurs. His infantry advanced with great success against the Flemings (mostly city militia), but he ordered their recall to allow his cavalry to make the final, victorious charge. But on the broken, marshy ground, his knights were unable to gain enough momentum to break the Flemish shieldwall, and they were knocked down and slaughtered. Robert led some of the reserves in a second charge in an attempt to reverse their fortunes. Artois was unhorsed by Willem van Saeftinghe. He and his troops were cut down by the Flemish infantry.[6]
Family
     "In 1262 in Paris Robert married Amicie de Courtenay (1250–1275),[7] daughter of Pierre de Courtenay, Seigneur de Conches, a great-grandson of Louis VI, and Perronelle de Joigny. They had three children:
     "After Amicie's death, Robert married twice more: first, in 1277, to Agnes of Dampierre (1237–1288), heiress of Bourbon,[7] and then, on 18 October 1298 to Margaret (died 1342),[7] daughter of John II, Count of Hainaut. After Robert's death, his daughter Mahaut inherited Artois, but his grandson Robert III unsuccessfully tried to claim it.[1]

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.

; The Henry Project has a good discussion of the debate of the marriage of Melisende and Fulcois and of which of these two was the child of Geoffroy I and Hildegarde:
The parentage of Melisende
     "The one early source mentioning Melisende says nothing about her parentage. However, her son Geoffroy became viscount of Châteaudun, so it is natural to investigate how he came to hold that title. Archbishop Hugues of Tours, earlier viscount of Châteaudun, was succeeded as viscount in 1003×4 by Geoffroy, probably the same as Melisende's son. On two occasions, a nepos of archibishop Hugues named Geoffroy is mentioned [1005×23: "... Hugo archipræsul. Gaufridi, nepotis ejus. ..." Cart. S.-Père de Chartres, 1: 117-8 (#6); 1032: "Gauffredi nepotis Hugonis archiepiscopi" Settipani (1997), 261 n. 247, citing Coll. Tour. Anj., ii1, #419]. It is probable that Geoffroy, nepos (probably to be interpreted as "nephew") of Hugues, was the same person as the latter's successor as viscount. See the page of Geoffroy (II) for a more detailed discussion of this.
Did the Châteaudun connection come through Melisende or through her husband?
     "If the likely conclusion that Melisende's son Geoffroy was a nephew of archbishop Hugues is accepted as a working hypothesis, there is still the problem of whether this relationship would be on the side of Geoffroy's father or his mother. This in turn could depend heavily on the identity of Melisende's husband. If Melisende's husband were an earlier viscount Geoffroy, then he would probably be a brother of archbishop Hugues. If Melisende's husband were Rotrou de Nogent, then it would be Melisende who was probably a sister of Hugues. However, the most likely possibility is that Melisende's husband was count Fulcois, but in that case it is hard to determine which parent of Geoffroy was a sibling of archbishop Hugues, because we have no indication of the ancestry of Fulcois. Most of those who accept Fulcois as the husband of Melisende have placed her as a sister of archbishop Hugues [Cuissard (1894-6), 43, 120 (table); Estournet (1928), 116, table; Saint-Phalle (2000), 236, 245]. The case in which Fulcois is placed as a brother of Hugues was put forward by Christian Settipani [Settipani (2000), 252-3].
     "Romanet argued that Melisende had brough the lordship of Nogent to her husband, because when her son Geoffroy donated the church of Champrond in that lordship to Saint-Denis de Nogent in 1031×2, he had reserved the usufruct for his mother [Romanet (1890-1902), 37]. On the other hand, Estournet argued from the fact that Melisende did not witness the act that her consent was unnecessary, and that the donation was therefore not a part of her patrimony [Estournet (1928), 117-8]. In 1997, mistakenly stating that Melisende subscribed to the act, Settipani said that her consent was effective [Settipani (1997), 263 n. 254]. However, this line of argument does not seem conclusive in either direction.
     "The future archbishop Hugues was evidently succeeded as viscount of Châteaudun in 1003×4 by his nephew Geoffroy. As Settipani pointed out, there is the question of whether a maternal nephew would succeed as viscount when Hugues had a son Helgaud and a brother Alo de Chinon still living [Settipani (2000), 253; Alo was still alive in 1009×12, Lex (1892), 136-140 (Pièces justificatives #10)]. Helgaud may have been illegitimate, or not old enough to become viscount in 1003×4. The claim of Cuissard that Alo was only a maternal half-brother of Hugues is worth mentioning in this context [Cuissard (1894-6), 120 (table)], but it is not clear that there is any evidence to support the supposed earlier marriage of Hildegarde (mother of Hugues) [See the page of Hildegarde for more]. Nevertheless, the fact that Alo was still alive in 1003×4 would seem to be an argument in favor of Geoffroy's probable father Fulcois being a brother of Hugues.
     "However, the comital title of Fulcois would appear to point in the opposite direction, for there is no indication that the viscounts of Châteaudun during the period 967-1004 had any claim to a comital title, making it seem less likely that count Fuclois was a member of that family. Settipani, who conjectures Fulcois as a son of viscount Geoffroy (I) and Hildegarde in his most recent account [Settipani (2000), 252-3], suggests that the comital title arrived in the family via Hildegarde, who is placed as a possible daughter of count Hervé of Mortagne [ibid., 256-8]. However, this is very conjectural.
     "Chronology should also be considered here. If the conjecture that Melisende was the mother of Hugues du Perche is correct, then we have a possible tight chronology, although it is difficult to measure the extent of the problem because of the uncertainties involved. Although a birth in 980 or later for Hugues du Perche cannot be ruled out, ca. 970 would seem to be a better estimate [see the page of Hugues du Perche]. However, the viscountess Hildegarde appears in a charter whose date is estimated by the editor to be ca. 1020, although it could be as early as 1005 [Cart. S.-Père de Chartres, 1: 117-8 (#6); see the page of Hildegarde]. If the editor's estimated date for Hildegarde's charter is correct, or nearly so, and Hildegarde really was the grandmother of Hugues du Perche, then the chronology between Hildegarde and Hugues would be tight if Hildegarde was born as late as 940. Since female generations are generally shorter than male generations, this chronological tightness would be relieved slightly if the generation between Hildegarde and Hugues were female, i.e., if Melisende were a daughter of Hildegarde. This argument should not be pressed too far, but it does seem to tilt the probability slightly in that direction.
     "None of the above arguments is particularly strong. Thus, even though it was probably the case that Melisende's son Geoffroy was a grandson of the viscountess Hildegarde, it is difficult to say with any degree of confidence whether the intervening generation was Melisende or her husband. Thus, with regard to the parentage of Melisende, all we can do is list some possibilities.“

; The Henry Project identifies Gausfred (Geoffroy) as the "conjectured father (plausible, but direct evidence lacking)" of Geoffroy I, Vicomte de Châteaudun:
     "Geoffroy, fl. May 942, viscount of Chartres.
     "[Settipani (2000), 249] He appears as a witness in a charter of Hugues le Grand ["S. Gauzfridi Carnotensium vicecomitis. ... Data mense maio ... anno scilicet Dominicæ incarnationis DCCCCXLIIº sive anno tertio regnante Hludovico rege." Rec. Chron. Touraine, 234; also RHF 9: 723, dating it to May 939, with the words "anno scilicet Dominicæ incarnationis DCCCCXLIIº sive" missing]. The obvious onomastic argument, plus the frequent connection between Chartres and Châteaudun, suggest a connection, but there is no direct evidence. Saint-Phalle instead identifies Geoffroy of Chartres as the same person as Geoffroy (I) of Châteaudun [Saint-Phalle (2000), 245 (table 6)].“

     "Robert was born in 1256, the son of Louis IX, king of France, and Marguerite de Provence. Louis did not like to give his sons very large counties, preferring to see them married to women who would inherit large territories, though they should not be adjoining, to avoid the possibility of creating one large territory that could be a threat to other duchies.
     "In 1269 Louis created Robert the count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, and seigneur de Creil-sur-Oise and of Sassy-le-Grand. He also selected his future wife. In 1272, two years after his father's death, Robert married Beatrice de Bourgogne, heiress of Bourbon, the only child of Jean de Bourgogne, sire de Charolais and Agnès de Dampierre, dame de Bourbon. They had six children of whom two sons and a daughter would have progeny.
     "Robert, who was totally devoted to the ideals of knighthood, joined his father and the Church in the war against Roger-Bernard III, comte de Foix. In 1278, aged only twenty-two, he was injured at a tournament and lost the full use of his mental faculties. He was only occasionally lucid thereafter, and in his bad spells he ran up immense debts, far beyond what even the wealthiest prince did in those days. The county of Clermont, a royal appanage, became in danger of foreclosure by Robert's creditors. In 1288 by rights of his wife, he became sire de Bourbon, de Charolais and de Saint Just-en-Champagne.
     "By an undated charter from the reign of Louis X 'le Hutin', grandson of Robert's elder brother Philippe III 'le Hardi', apparently agreed upon while Robert was temporarily in his right mind, the situation was dealt with by having Robert cede the usufruct of the county to his son Louis for a term of eight years; if Robert died within those eight years, the county itself would descend to Louis, or if Louis should predecease Robert the county would descend to Louis' male heir. Louis was to pay Robert 4000 livres tournois yearly, and would assume responsibility for all Robert's debts contracted before that time. Louis would bear no responsibility for any debts Robert contracted after the charter was sealed. Robert promised that he would not pledge the county as surety for future debts nor allow any other liens to be placed against it. He died on 7 February 1318, and was succeeded by Louis.

     "Robert of Clermont (1256 – 7 February 1317) was created Count of Clermont in 1268. He was the son of King Louis IX of France and Margaret of Provence.[1] In 1272, Robert married Beatrice of Burgundy, heiress of Bourbon[2] and had the following issue:
-- Louis I, le Boiteux (1279–1342), first Duke of Bourbon.
-- Blanche of Clermont (1281–1304); married in 1303 in Paris Robert VII, Count of Auvergne and Boulogne, grandmother of Joan I, Countess of Auvergne.
-- John of Clermont (1283–1316), Baron of Charolais; married c. 1309 Jeanne d'Argues, widow of Hugh, Count of Soissons, and had issue.
-- Mary of Clermont (1285–1372, Paris), Prioress of Poissy
-- Peter of Clermont (1287 – aft. 1330), Archdeacon of Paris
-- Margaret of Clermont (1289–1309, Paris); married firstly, in 1305, Raymond Berengar of Andria, and secondly, in 1308, John I, Marquis of Namur.
     "During his first joust, in 1279, Robert suffered head injuries which rendered him an invalid for the remainder of his life.[3]
     "Robert is considered the founder of the House of Bourbon, a family which, with the passing of centuries came to reign as kings of Navarre (1572-1830), kings of France (1589–1848; due to the extinction of all legitimate agnatic progeny of all his elder brothers), kings of Spain (1700–present), kings of the Two Sicilies (1735–1860), dukes of Parma (1748–1796 and 1847–1859) and grand dukes of Luxembourg (1964–present).
     "Robert's godfather, chosen by Louis IX, was Humbert of Romans, the Dominican Master of the Order at the time of Robert's birth.[4]
     "Robert is mentioned in the prologue of the Coutumes de Beauvaisis by Philippe de Beaumanoir.[5]
     "He was buried in the now-demolished church of the Couvent des Jacobins in Paris.
     "Robert is a supporting character in Les Rois maudits (The Accursed Kings), a series of French historical novels by Maurice Druon. He was portrayed by Alexandre Rignault in the 1972 French miniseries adaptation of the series, and by Ioan Siminie in the 2005 adaptation.

     Lothair III of Supplinburg, was Duke of Saxony (1106), King of Germany (1125), and Holy Roman Emperor from 1133 to 1137. He was a posthumous child, born in June 1075 shortly after his father, Gebhard of Supplinburg, died in the battle of Langensalza against troops loyal to the Emperor Henry IV. His reign was troubled by the constant intriguing of Frederick II, Duke of Swabia and Duke Conrad of Franconia. He died on his way home from a successful campaign against the Normans in southern Italy.
     Around 1100, he married Richenza of Northeim, the daughter of Henry the Fat of Northeim (d. 1101) and Gertrud of Brunswick. They were the parents of one daughter Gertrude, born April 18, 1115. She married Henry the Proud, the duke of Bavaria, on May 29, 1127. Their son was Henry the Lion.

      ; Per Genealogics:
     “Lothar was born in June 1075, the son of Gebhard, Graf von Süpplinburg and Hedwig von Formbach. Lothar's father belonged to the Saxon high nobility and the opposition against Emperor Heinrich V. In 1100 Lothar married heiress Richenza von Northeim, daughter of Heinrich 'der Fette' von Northeim, Markgraf in Friesland, and Gertrud von Braunschweig. They had a daughter Gertrud who would have progeny.
     “When Duke Magnus Billung of Saxony died in 1106 without successors, Heinrich V, the last of the Salian line of Holy Roman Emperors, appointed Lothar to the duchy of Saxony. In the Saxon-Salian disputes Lothar distinguished himself as a clever politician and skilful military leader, as in the battle of Hettstedt in 1115, where the Saxon army destroyed that of Heinrich V. From then the political leadership of the duke was indisputable.
     “When Heinrich V died without heirs in 1125, Lothar was surprisingly elected on 24 August of that year as German king, over the claims of Konrad III, duke of Swabia. Thereby the main territorial focus of medieval history moved to the north of the empire.
     “On 8 June 1133 Lothar was crowned as Holy Roman Emperor by Pope Innocent II. Before this, Lothar had backed the pope against counter-pope Anacleto II, who was backed by Roger II, the Norman king of Sicily. As his successor Lothar chose his son-in-law Duke Heinrich X 'the Proud' of Bavaria, who was married to Lothar's daughter Gertrud, but he could not prevail in this against the claim of Konrad III von Hohenstaufen. He clashed repeatedly with Konrad III over the throne, defeating him in the battle of Mühlhausen in Thuringia in 1135. He defeated Roger II of Sicily in Italy in 1136.
     “Lothar died aged 62 on 4 December 1137 in Breitenwang bei Reute, Tyrol, Austria, and was buried in Königslutter, east of Braunschweig, Lower Saxony, Germany. In the subsequent election for German king, Konrad III defeated Heinrich X 'the Proud', and the Hohenstaufen era of German kings and emperors began.
     “Some have portrayed Lothar's period as emperor merely as an intermezzo between the Salian and Hohenstaufen eras, but this undervalues his contribution. After his death Lothar was mourned as a king who had brought peace, unity and order to his empire, even if his political vision of the foundation of a Welf monarchy did not prevail.”.³

     "LOTHAR von Süpplingenburg, son of GERHARD von Süpplingenburg Graf im Harzgau & his wife Hedwig von Formbach ([1/8] Jun 1075-Breitenwang am Loch in Tirol 4 Dec 1137, bur Königslutter). He is named as son of Gebhard in the Annalista Saxo[392]. The Notæ Genealogicæ Bavaricæ name "Lotharii regis et Ite comitisse de Purchausen" as children of "Hadewic"[393]. He was invested as LOTHAR Duke of Saxony in 1106 by Heinrich V King of Germany after the death of Magnus Billung Duke of Saxony[394]. Duke Lothar immediately sought to build-up his lordship, and triggered in 1112 the intervention of the emperor to whom he submitted in 1114. The dispute culminated in the defeat of the imperial army by the Saxons at Welfesholz in 1115[395]. He was elected LOTHAR III King of Germany at Mainz 24 Aug 1125, largely through the manœuvrings of Adalbert Archbishop of Mainz and because he was seen by the German nobility as less of a dynastic threat than his rival Friedrich II Duke of Swabia [Staufen][396]. He was crowned 13 Sep 1125 at Aachen. In 1130, King Lothar became embroiled in the dispute between rival Popes Anacletus II and Innocent II, in the hope of securing a return to the full right of lay investiture. He was crowned Emperor at the Lateran in Rome 4 Jun 1133 by Pope Innocent II, as Pope Anacletus II was occupying St Peter's[397]. He installed his son-in-law as administrator of the lands previously held by Matilda Ctss of Tuscany, after conceding papal ownership of them in return for a usufruct[398]. Following Roger II King of Sicily's expulsion of Pope Innocent II from Rome, Emperor Lothar launched an expedition to Italy in 1136. King Roger offered peace negotiations after the army took Benevento and Bari, but jurisdictional disputes broke out between the emperor and the Pope and the army returned to Germany, Emperor Lothar dying en route[399]. He invested his son-in-law as Duke of Saxony in 1137 shortly before his death[400].

Med Lands cites: He was Holy Roman Emperor: Henry left no direct heir, and at the bitterly fought election of 1125, the archbishops of Mainz and Cologne, foes of the anticlerical Salian line, cleverly prevented, with papal aid, the election of the nearest heir, Frederick of Swabia, of the house of Hohenstaufen, on the grounds that the hereditary principle was dangerous. Lothair of Supplinburg, duke of Saxony, was chosen, opening the great struggle of Welf and Waiblinger (Hohenstaufen) in Germany (Guelf and Ghibelline in Italy). ... Lothair II.
