     Raoul I de Fougères Seigneur de Fougères married Avice de Clare, daughter of Richard de Tonbridge ftiz Gilbert de Clare and Rohese Giffard.^1,2

      ; Per Med Lands:
     "RAOUL [I] de Fougères (-1124). "Radulfus seculari militiæ mancipatus" donated property to Sainte-Trinité de Fougères with the consent of "matris meæ Adeladis et sororis meæ Godeheldis et fratres mei Heudo…et Johelis" by undated charter[584]. Domesday Book records land held by “Ralph de Feugeres” in Headley in Copthorne Hundred and Westcott in Wotton Hundred, Surrey, Twyford and Charnford in Mow Hundred in Buckinghamshire[585]. He succeeded his father as Seigneur de Fougères. "Alani comitis comitisseque Constantie" donated property to the abbey of Redon by charter dated 1089, witnessed by "Mathias comes Namnetis…Eudo vicecomes, Radulfus anglicus comes, Radulfus de Fulgeres…Budicus frater Hoelli comitis"[586]. "Radulfus Filogerensis et uxor eius Avicia" donated property to Sainte-Trinité de Fougères by undated charter which names "pater eius Maino", recording that he was "monachus sancti Martini apud Hilduini mansile…in comitatu comitis Moritonii"[587].
     "m AVICE de Clare, daughter of RICHARD FitzGilbert Lord of Clare & his wife Rohese Giffard of Buckingham . Guillaume de Jumièges records that "Richardum”, son of “Gislebertus...filius Godefridi comitis Aucensis”, had two daughters of whom one married “Rodulfo de Telegeriis” by whom she had “Fransualo, Henricus et Robertus Giffard”[588]. “Telegeriis” has not been identified: it is unlikely to be Tillières, normally represented as “Tegularias” or variants, which had been granted to Gilbert Crispin by Guillaume II Duke of Normandy. The same individuals are named in the charter dated 7 Mar 1113 quoted below, which indicates that the family was Fougères: presumably “Telegeriis” is a misreading or mistranscription. "Radulfus Filogerensis et uxor eius Avicia" donated property to Sainte-Trinité de Fougères by undated charter[589]. "Radulfus Filgeriensis" with "his wife Avitia" donated property to the abbey of Holy Trinity, Sauvigny by charter dated 7 Mar 1113, subscribed by "Maino-franswalo filius eius, Henricus et Robertus similiter filii eius…"[590].

      ; Per Med Lands:
     "ETIENNE (-after [1090]). It is possible that Etienne, father of Adam de Chailly, was either Etienne son of Helduin or Etienne son of Joscelin, both of whom are named in a charter dated to [1090] which records that "Roscelinus de Monsterollo atque Stephanus filius Heldoini et Hersendis uxor eius…Stephanus filius Goscelini et uxor eius Hersendis" consented to the donation of property to Néronville made by "miles…Dimo"[329]. It is assumed that "Stephanus filius Heldoini" and "Stephanus filius Goscelini" were two different individuals, rather than the same person whose father is misnamed in one of the two entries in this document. If that is correct, it is probable that "Stephanus filius Heldoini" was the father of Adam de Chailly, because another charter, dated to [1100/10] records "…Goscelini Infans, filius Stephani" as consenting to another donation to Néronville[330]. It is unlikely that the father of "Goscelini Infans" was the same person as the father of the brothers Adam and Gauthier who are named below, as no other record has been found of their having a brother named Joscelin. It is therefore assumed that "Goscelini Infans" was the son of "Stephanus filius Goscelini", named after his paternal grandfather, leaving "Stephanus filius Heldoini" as the father of Adam and Gauthier. It is probable that the two persons named Etienne in the [1090] charter were closely related, maybe first cousins. Presumably based on the various primary source entries which are quoted in this section, Burke’s Peerage shows "Etienne de Courtenay", son of Joscelin [I] Seigneur de Courtenay and his first wife (see CHAMPAGNE NOBILITY), as the father of "Adam de Chailly"[331]. There are two major difficulties with this supposed parentage proposed by Burke’s. Firstly, if Etienne had been an older son of Joscelin [I], he would have inherited the seigneurie de Courtenay in place of his supposed younger brother Milon de Courtenay. Secondly, as noted below, "Adam filius Stephani" is first named in a document dated to [1085], which places his birth in [1060/65] bearing in mind that he is named in other documents until 1141. This means that Adam could not have been the grandson of Joscelin [I] de Courtenay. As discussed more fully under the entry for Etienne’s wife, it is more likely that the relationship between Adam de Chailly and the Courtenay family was through Adam’s mother.
     "m (before [1060/65]) [HERSENDE], daughter of [ATHON] [Châtelain de Châteaurenard] & his wife ---. As the mother of "Adam", her parentage and marriage are suggested by the charter dated to [1116/18] which records that "Robertus Bonet" became a monk at Néronville priory and donated "terram quam habebat a Sed ultra flumen Feure (aliàs Fuhure)" with the consent of "Milo de Curtiniaco et Adam nepos eius, de quorum beneficio erat…Fulco vicecomes [Foulques Vicomte de Château-Landon] de cujus beneficio erat…Garnerius frater Ade et uxor eius Ulgesendis cum filiis suis Herveo et Adam de quorum beneficio erat"[332]. "Adam nepos eius" can be identified as "Adam filius Stephani" who is named in the charters of Néronville which are quoted below, and as Adam de Chailly who was ancestor of later vicomtes de Melun. Presumably based on these various data points, Burke’s Peerage shows "Etienne de Courtenay" as the son of Joscelin [I] Seigneur de Courtenay and his first wife, and as the father of "Adam de Chailly"[333]. As noted above, this proposed parentage appears impossible. Another more likely possibility is that the relationship was based on a family connection in the previous generation, possibly through an otherwise unrecorded sister of Joscelin [I] de Courtenay who married the father of Adam de Chailly. Bearing in mind the notorious difficulty of translating the word nepos, it is certainly possible that it indicates a relationship more remote than "nephew" in the [1116/18] document. The presence of the names of Milon de Courtenay and "Adam nepos eius" in the [1116/18] charter could be explained if the property which was the subject of the donation had been part of the dowry of Adam’s mother, and was then held by her son Adam as vassal of the seigneurs de Courtenay of whom Milon was then the senior representative. Another possible explanation of the relationship between Milon and Adam is that it was through the family of Milon de Courtenay’s mother. In any event, it is possible that Adam de Chailly’s mother was named Hersende. This is suggested by the charter dated [1090] which records that "Roscelinus de Monsterollo atque Stephanus filius Heldoini et Hersendis uxor eius…Stephanus filius Goscelini et uxor eius Hersendis" consented to donations of properties to Néronville made by "miles…Dimo"[334]. The question of the identity of these two individuals named Etienne is discussed more fully above in relation to [Hersende]’s husband, a debate which is irrelevant when considering the question of [Hersende]’s name as the wives of both persons (assuming that they were two different individuals) were named Hersende. This possible name of Adam de Chailly’s mother appears corroborated by Burke’s Peerage, in its highly suspect summary of the early generations of the Courtenay family, which names "Hersent de Montereau" as Adam’s mother[335]. As with all data in Burke’s, no information is given on the primary source on which the statement is based."

"Adam nepos eius" can be identified as "Adam filius Stephani" who is named in other charters of Néronville dated between [1085] and [1122/42][84], and as Adam de Chailly who was ancestor of later vicomtes de Melun (see PARIS REGION NOBILITY).
