     Juliana (?) married Alan fitz Roland Lord of Galloway, Constable of Scotland, son of Roland Galloway Lord of Galloway and Elena de Morville of Lauder, before 30 March 1222
;
His 4th wife.¹ Juliana (?) and Alan fitz Roland Lord of Galloway, Constable of Scotland were divorced between 1225 and 1229; Per Med Lands: "annulled for consanguinity/affinity [1225/29].¹
     ; Per Med Lands:
     "ALAN of Galloway, son of ROLAND Lord of Galloway & his wife Helen de Moreville (-[2] Feb 1234, bur Dundraynan[1170]). He succeeded his father in 1200 as Lord of Galloway. "Alanus filius Rollandi de Galwythia" donated "partem terre in territorio de Gillebeccokestun…de Widhope" to Melrose abbey, for the souls of "Ricardi de Morevill avi mei et Willemi avunculi mei, Rollandi patris mei et…mea et Helene matris mee", by undated charter[1171]. "Alanus filius Rolandi dominus Galwath[ie] et Scocie constabularius" donated annual revenue to St Bees by undated charter, witnessed by "Alano filio Ketelli, Alano de Camerton, Gilberto filio Gospatrici…"[1172]. "Thomas de Colevilla cognomento Scot" donated "quartam partam de Almelidum…Keresban" to Melrose abbey by undated charter witnessed by "…Alano filio Rolandi de Galewai, Fergus filio Uctredi, Edgaro filio Douenad, Dunkano filio Gilbti comite de Carric…"[1173]. "Alanus fili Rolandi de Galweia constabularius dni regis Scottorum" donated property "in Ulkelyston" to Kelso monastery, for the souls of "patris mei Rolandi, avi mei Huhtredi", by charter dated to [1206][1174]. The Annals of Dunstable record that “dominus Galwinæ” died in 1235[1175]. The Liber Pluscardensis records the death in [1234] of "Alanus de Galway filius Rotholandi de Galway…qui…fuit constabilarius Scociæ" and his burial "apud Dundranan"[1176]. The Chronicle of Lanercost records the death "circa purificacionem beatæ Virginis" [2 Feb] in 1233 of "Alanus dominus Galwydiæ"[1177]. On his death Galway was divided between his daughters, but the people of Galway invited Alexander II King of Scotland to become their sole lord but he refused. The king finally defeated the insurgents after Jul 1235[1178].
     "m firstly (before [19 Dec 1200/1206]) --- de Lacy, daughter of ROGER de Lacy Constable of Chester & his wife Matilda de Clare (-[1201/06]). Keith Stringer says that "one of the daughters of Roger de Lacy was evidently Alan’s first wife" and that "the manor of Kippax" was her dowry, quoting a charter, dated to [19 Dec 1200/1206], under which "Alanus filius Rollandi, dominus Galuuaith Scotie constabularius…et heredibus meis" gave quitclaim to "Rogero de Lascy Cestrie constabularius et heredibus suis" for "advocationem ecclesie de Kipeis"[1179]. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the following document: the Curia Regis rolls record in 1214 “John [de Lacy] de warrantia carte de terra de Kippes...should warrant the charters of his father Roger which Alan [de Galloway]...has concerning the maritagium of his sister”[1180].
     "[m [secondly] --- [of the Isles, daughter of REGINALD Lord of the Isles & his wife Fonie ---] (-before 1209). Balfour Paul says that Alan Lord of Galloway married first "a lady unknown, said to be a daughter of Reginald Lord of the Isles by whom he had two daughters"[1181]. He cites Chalmers’s Caledonia, but that says only that “the name of the first [wife] is unknown” without providing any indication of her family origin[1182]. Balfour Paul repeats his suggestion under the Lords of the Isles where he notes a daughter of Reginald Lord of the Isles "said to have married Alan of Galloway", without citing any source[1183]. There is no indication of the basis for Balfour Paul’s statements and no primary source which confirms this person’s parentage and marriage has been identified. Her existence should presumably be treated with caution until some such source emerges. If she did marry Alan, she was not the mother of his daughter Ellen shown below. She was either married before his marriage to “--- de Lacy” or before he married Margaret of Huntingdon: she is shown here, for presentational purposes only, as Alan’s possible second wife.]
     "m [thirdly] (Dundee 1209) MARGARET of Huntingdon, daughter of DAVID of Scotland Earl of Huntingdon & his wife Matilda of Chester ([1194]-[after 6 Jan 1233]). The Chronicle of Melrose records the marriage in 1209 of "Alan FitzRoland" and "the daughter of earl David, the brother of the king of Scotland"[1184]. The Annales Londonienses name "Margaretam, Isabellam, Matildam, et Aldam" as the four daughters of "comiti David", recording the marriage of "la primere fille Davi" and "Aleyn de Gavei"[1185]. John of Fordun’s Scotichronicon (Continuator) records the marriage in 1208 "apud Dunde" of "Alanus magnus de Galweyia, filius Rotholandi" and "Margaretam filiam David comitis de Huntingtona"[1186]. The primary source which confirms her appearance in Jan 1233 has not been identified. The date is inconsistent with Alan’s subsequent marital history, unless his marriage to Margaret was dissolved.
     "m [fourthly] (before 30 Mar 1222, annulled for consanguinity/affinity [1225/29]) JULIANA, daughter of ---. Her husband challenged the validity of this marriage on grounds of consanguinity/affinity. The family relationship between the couple has not been ascertained. Pope Honorius III mandated the archbishop of York and others that “Alan constable of Scotland was of such close kindred and affinity to his wife that they could not cohabit without mortal sin”, and to refer the case to the Papal legate, dated 30 Apr 1222[1187]. Pope Honorius III wrote to the archbishop of Canterbury 28 Feb 1225 requesting him “to proceed to a decision of a suit relating to the alleged marriage of Alan knight and Juliana heard before the abbot of Bruern”, recording details of the proceedings including the appearance of the wife before the Pope who doubted “whether the acts and attestations she brought with her were true”, and ordered “the archbishop, if the said knight will not be induced to treat the woman as his wife, to have the original acts produced and decide the matter”[1188]. Anderson suggests that "Juliana seems to have lost the case"[1189].
     "m [fifthly] ([1228/29]) ROSE de Lacy, daughter of HUGH de Lacy & [his first wife Lesceline de Verdun] (-after 1237). According to Matthew Paris, the wife of Alan of Galloway "iam defunctus" was the (unnamed) daughter of "Hugonem de Lasey"[1190]. The Chronicle of Lanercost records in 1229 that "Alan the lord of Galloway…set out for Ireland and there married the daughter of Hugh de Lacy"[1191]. John of Fordun’s Scotichronicon (Continuator) records that "Alanus de Galweia profectus in Hiberniam" married "filiam Hugonis de Lacy" in 1228[1192]. If her parentage and marriage is correctly stated in the two sources quoted, the chronology suggests that this daughter must have been born from Hugh’s first marriage, assuming that she was legitimate. She is named "Rose de Lacy" by Keith Stringer, who cites a charter of St Bees which indicates that she was still alive in 1237[1193]."

      ; Per Med Lands:
     "The town of Enghien (Edinghem in Flemish) is located about 25 kilometres south-west of Brussels, and about 40 kilometres north-west of Charleroi, in the present-day Belgian province of Hainaut. The medieval seigneurial family, fiefs of the Comtes de Hainaut, emerged from obscure beginnings in the late 11th/early 12th century, the surviving records only showing use of the seigneurial title from the late 13th century. Matthieu’s late 19th century history of Enghien summarises the local topography and the ancient fortifications, as well as some early recorded mentions of the place[1157], but his descriptions of the early generations of the family are unreliable. Delporte dismisses the existence of Anselme d’Enghien, supposed participant in the First Crusade, as fantasy based on fabricated sources[1158]."
Med Lands cites:


NB: There is uncertainty concerning the early generations of the d'Enghien family. I have found the following theories so far:
I. Wikipédia (Fr.) shows the first five generations as :
See attached descendancy and related citations and sources for the Enghien family from Wikipédia (Fr.)


II. Genealogics does not identify Ansiaulm, but shows the remaining generations to match Wikipédia (Fr.):


III. Med Lands does not identify Ansiaul, and shows other major differences from Wikipédia (Fr.) and Genealogics. Med Lands starts by identifying two separate individuals, without a stated relationship:
Then Med Lands identifies "Two brothers. Their parents have not been identified, but the names of Hugues’s children Engelbert and Boniface suggest a close relationship with the two persons named above. The [1133] donation, cited below, of land in the same location by the Chin and Enghien families suggests some family connection, maybe through their mother."
The rest of the family are identified as:
(Note: separately, Med Lands says, "The precise relationship between the Enghien and Trazegnies families has not been traced.".)


IV. Racines et Histoire (Maison d'Enghien) comes closer to Med Lands in its presentation. It mentions Ansiaul as the progenitor, but shows the link from him to Englebert I as very tenuous. (See attached image of the relevant pages from Racines and Histoire). Racines et HIstoire shows:
Racines et histoire then shows:


Conclusion:
     Genealogics and Wikipédia (Fr.) have inserted one generation (Englebert II - I.3 and II.3) between Englebert I (I.2 and II.2) and Huwes/Hugues (I.4 and II.4), when compared to Med Lands and Racines et Histoire. It then seems that the Englebert III (m. Elisabeth de Trazegnies) shown by Genealogics/Wikipédia (Fr.) is the same person as the Engelbert II shown by Med Lands (m. Elizabeth [van de Aa]) and Racines et Histoire (m. Elizabeth de Trazegnies).
     After considering the available information, I have left Ansiaul in the lineage, and have otherwise chosen to follow the descendancy as shown by Genealogics and Wikipédia (Fr.), though I have relied on Med Lands and Racines et Histoire for many of the other details. The extra Englebert, between Engleber I and Huwes/Hugues I, means there the various Engleberts are numbered differently in different sources. My numbering follows Genealogics and Wikipédia (Fr.)

     "ENGELBERT [II] d’Enghien, son of HUGUES d’Enghien & his wife Beatrix --- (-Ninove 10 Dec 1193, bur Ninove). “Hugo de Adengem et v filii eius...Gozuinus, Ingelbertus, Nicholaus, Sigerus, Bonefacius et frater eius, Hainnerus, Gozuinus...” witnessed the charter dated to [1146/48] under which “Reinsuendis uxor Alardi Hasbenium...” donated property to Eename[1245]. A charter dated to 1166 records that “Hugo Angiensis cum filiis Gosuino, Engelberto, Sigero et Bonifacio” built “arcem apud Angiam”[1246]. Engelbert and Boniface were presumably the two unnamed brothers of Gossuin who witnessed the following document: “Walterus de Brussella filius Leonii de A” donated property “in parochia Anderlechtensi” to Affligem by charter dated 1168, witnessed by “…Gosuinus de Adengem et duo fratres eius…”[1247]. The Chronicon Hanoniense records "...Gossuinus de Aenghien, Engelbertus et Bonifacius fratres eius..." among the knights who served Baudouin V Comte de Hainaut in the war with “Henricus comes Namurcensis et Lusceleborch”, dated to 1172[1248]. “Walterus de Bruxella filius…Leonii” donated “decimam quandam successione hereditaria…apud Anderlecht Dilbeke Pede et apud A”, shared with “domina Hildegarde et nepotibus eius de Sottengem”, to Afflighem, with the consent of “Godescalco de Moreameis nepote meo et aliis coheredibus meis castellano…de Bruxella et filio eius Godefrido Ingelberto de Adengem et filio eius Hugone”, by charter dated 1173[1249]. “Engelbertus de Adinghe, Walterus de Adinghe, Gerardus, Nicholaus, fratres eiusdem Walteri…” witnessed the 1180 charter under which Roger Bishop of Cambrai confirmed donations to Ghislenghien, including the donation of “allodium suum quod adiacet ville de Polleirs” made by “Gossuinus de Adinghe et Gilla uxoris eius” with the consent of “Walteri de Aa et Elizabeth sororis eius, qui eiusdem allodii heredes erant iure successionis”[1250]. “Goswini de Adengem, Ingelberti fratris eius, Walteri et Gerardi fratrum” witnessed the charter dated 1 May 1185 under which “Osto de Trasenis” settled a dispute in favour of Ninove[1251]. Seigneur d’Enghien: “Gossuinus et Ingelbertus fratres et domini de Adengem, Gerardus de Adengem et filius eius Walterus” witnessed a charter dated 1186[1252]. “Dominus Ingelbertus de Adenghem, Walterus et Gerardus de Adengem, Ingelbertus filius eius” witnessed a charter dated 1189[1253]. Giselbert’s Chronicon Hanoniense records that Baudouin V Comte de Hainaut besieged Enghien castle after “Engleberto de Aenghien” swore allegiance to “ducem Lovaniensi contra comitem Hanoniensem”, the dispute being settled in favour of the Comte de Hainaut, dated to 1191[1254]. “Dominus Ingelbertus de Adenghem” donated land “apud Hartbecam” [Herbecq] to Ninove, with the consent of “domina Elisabeth et liberi sui Ingelbertus et Gisla et Ida uxor Ingelberti”, while “eadem Elisabeth“ also promised to obtain the consent of “Wilhelmo genero suo et uxore suo”, by charter dated [2] Dec 1193, the same document recording that eight days later “præfatus dominus Ingelbertus” died “in Ninive” where he was buried and where “uxore et filiis eius Ingelberto et Gisla et uxore Ingelberti” placed their donation on the altar, witnessed by “Gerardo et Arnulfo de Grimbergis, Impino de Otingem et Impino filio eius, et fratre eius Sigero, et filiis Gerardi de Adengem, Ingelberto, Gerardo et Arnaldo de Hautcrois et filiis suis”[1255]. The necrology of Ninove records the death “IV Id Dec” of “Ingelberti de Adenghem” and his donation of land “apud Hartbeke”[1256]. [Baudouin IX Count of Flanders granted himself “advocatiam” of Ninove and confirmed many donations, including the donation of “quatuor bonaria terræ” made by “Ingelbertus de Adenghem” with the consent of “filii sui Ingelberti”, by charter dated 1201[1257]. It is assumed that this donation was made many years earlier by Engelbert [II] and his son.]
     "m ([before 1155?]) ELISABETH [van de Aa, daughter of LEON [II] van de Aa & his wife Mathilde ---] ([before 1140?]-[Dec 1193/1214]). She is named in the following document: [her son] “Engelbertus dominus de Aienghien” confirmed the donation of "vi bonaria quæ jacent in parochia Anderlechtensi" to Voorst abbey made by "Elisabeth mater mea piæ memoriæ" by charter dated 1214, witnessed by [her great nephew, grandson of her sister, and her nephew, son of her brother Walter] “Castellani de Bruxella, Leonii domini de Aa...”[1258]. Her marriage date is suggested based on the likely birth date of her son Hugues, shown below, which in turn suggests her approximate date of birth. “Dominus Ingelbertus de Adenghem” donated land “apud Hartbecam” to Ninove, with the consent of “domina Elisabeth et liberi sui Ingelbertus et Gisla et Ida uxor Ingelberti”, while “eadem Elisabeth“ also promised to obtain the consent of “Wilhelmo genero suo et uxore suo”, by charter dated [2] Dec 1193, the same document recording that eight days later “præfatus dominus Ingelbertus” died “in Ninive” where he was buried and where “uxore et filiis eius Ingelberto et Gisla et uxore Ingelberti” placed their donation on the altar[1259]. She was named as deceased in her son’s 1214 charter quoted above.
     "Her suggested parentage is indicated by reading the following five documents together:
     "Based on these charters, the logic leading to the suggested conclusion about Elisabeth’s parentage is summarised in seven steps as follows:
     "One difficulty with this hypothesis is the apparent absence of the name Leon among Elisabeth’s known Enghien descendants. An alternative possibility could help explain that absence: Elisabeth (as well as her older sister, wife of Franco [III] Châtelain de Bruxelles) could have been the daughters of Walter’s aunt Gisla, by an unrecorded first marriage. Such a possibility appears consistent with the seven logical steps outlined above, except step (d) unless the term “avunculus” in charter (4) was used in an extended sense. It would also explain Elisabeth naming her daughter Gisèle/Gisla. In this alternative case, Walter’s sister Elisabeth may have been the widow of Arnaud [III] de Morialmes.
     "
It should be noted that Butkens’s inaccurate transcription of the Mar 1224 (O.S.) testament of her son Engelbert [III] incorrectly suggests a connection between Elisabeth and the Trazegnies family: the sealing clause, as transcribed by Butkens, specified "sigillum Sigeri filii mei et sigillum Ostonis patrui mei cum meo"[1266], while the original reads “sigillum Sigeri filii mei et sigillum Ostonis Patrui cum meo”[1267], indicating that the second seal belonged to Oste [III] de Trazegnies Seigneur de Seigneur de Contrecœur/Wedergraet (in other documents named “Osto...dictus avunculus”, see Chapter 9.B of the present document), not that “Ostonis” was “patruus” of the testator."

Heer van Pollare: “...Leonis de Pollar...” witnessed the charter dated 1154 under which Godefroi III Duke of Brabant confirmed the donation of “allodium infra parochyam Bocholt” made to Gand Saint-Bavon[946]. “...Leonus de Brusella, Anthonius filius eius...” witnessed the charter dated 1156 under which Henri Bishop of Liège confirmed the possessions of Vlierbeek abbey near Louvain[947].
     "m ---. The name of Leon’s wife is not known. The logic explained below to justify the parentage of Elisabeth, wife of Engelbert [II] Seigneur d’Enghien, indicates that Walter van de Aa (grandson of Leon [I] and his wife) and Gisla (their daughter), together with Hildegarde (wife of Gerard [III] van Zotteghem, see below), all held Anderlecht, Dilbeke, Pede and Aa jointly, inherited (as a package) from one of Gisla’s parents. It is usually assumed that Leon [I] held Aa in his own right. If that is correct, all four properties were inherited from him. However, it is not impossible that Leon acquired his right to Aa through his wife which, if correct, means that all four properties would have been inherited by the Aa family from her. The following document shows that this last suggestion is a distinct possibility: Godefroi Duke of Brabant, at the request of "domina Berta de Anderlecht..cum filiis suis Gerardo…Wilelmo et Arnulfo et duobus generis Waltero…de Crainhem, Oliverio de Gest, et Herardo de Hidengem qui sororem eius duxit uxorem", donated “allodii...inter Woluesem et Bygardis” to "ecclesiæ sanctæ Mariæ in Bigardis" by charter dated 1143, which records that "dominus Leonius cum filiis suis Bernerus de Morcella cum filiis suis Gerardus de Sottenghem cum filiis suis" renounced rights[948]. The three last-named persons are all named “cum filiis suis”. If each had held the property interest in their own names, by inheritance from a common ancestor, the reference to their sons would have been unnecessary as their fathers would have represented their sons’ interests while still alive. If on the other hand, Leon, Berner and Gerard held the property by right of their wives, their sons would already have had direct interests as heirs of their mothers, which would justify their presence in the document. If this speculation is correct, Leon [I] married ---, daughter of ---. [See https://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/BRABANT,%20LOUVAIN.htm#wifeLeonIAadied1156]"

     "Five possible children: No source has yet been identified which names the parents of the following five brothers. The fact that one is named Matfried suggests a close family relationship with Adalhard [IV] and his wife, assuming that she was the daughter of Matfried [II]. A descent from Adalhard [IV] is also suggested by the common use of the names Stefan and Gerhard in the two families. While the various sources quoted below establish that all five were brothers, no source has been found which indicates that they all shared the same mother (see the discussion about the possible distinction between the terms “fratres” and “germani” under Walacho, below)."
