     “Robert was the son of Robert I, comte de Clermont, and Alesie de Ventadour. About 1240 he succeeded his father as count of Clermont and dauphin d'Auvergne. He married Mahaut d'Auvergne, a descendant of Guillaume VIII 'le vieux', who had usurped the county of Auvergne in 1147 from Robert's great great grandfather Guillaume VII 'le jeune', the rightful heir of Robert III, father of Guillaume VII and brother of Guillaume VIII. (The county of Auvergne was confiscated in 1212 from Guy II, grandson of Guillaume VIII 'le vieux', by King Philippe II August of France, and integrated into the royal domain.) Robert and Mahaut had a son Robert III who would have progeny and succeed his father.

      ; Per Med Lands:
     "GUILLAUME [X] d’Auvergne, son of GUY [II] Comte d'Auvergne & his wife Petronille de Chambon (-1246, bur Le Bouchet). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records that "iunior comes Alvernie Guilelmus" was son of “comitis Guidonis Alvernie” and his wife "soror abbatis Radulfi…Camboniam"[281]. "Guido comes Claromontensis" donated "Buillonem…et Leez…et Buisseroles…" to "Petronillæ dominiæ Chambonii uxori meæ comitissæ Clarimontensis in dotalicio" on leaving for "partes Albigenses…contra hæreticos", with the consent of "Guillelmus primogenitus meus […matri suæ]", by charter dated 1209[282]. The testament of "Guidonis comitis Arvernorum", dated 27 May 1209, names "Guillelmo primogenito suo…Hugo secundus natu…Petronillæ uxoris suæ…Guidoni…tertio filio suo"[283]. Comte d'Auvergne. Henry III King of England recorded a treaty with "W. filium comitis Guidonis de Alvernia et Delfinum Clari Montis et R. nepotem eius" dated [Oct] 1225[284]. The testament of "Guillermus comes Claromontensis", dated Feb 1245, chooses burial "in monasterio del Boschet in sepulcro bonæ memoriæ patris nostri", appoints "Robertum filium nostrum…sub custodia…Hugonis…episcopi Claromontensis consanguinei nostri" as his heir, names "Guidonem filium nostrum clericum…Guillermum et Godefridum filios nostros…Henricum filium nostrum", provides for the anniversary of "sororis nostræ et…generis nostri Guillelmo de Ussone" and makes various other donations including to "domui de las Chesas…ad vitam sororis nostræ"[285].
     "Betrothed (Apr 1202) to --- de Montluçon, daughter of ARCHAMBAUD Seigneur de Montluçon & his wife ---. A charter dated Apr 1202 records an agreement between “Archembaudus dominus Montis Lucii” and “Guidonem comitem Arvernie" for the marriage of "filiam Archembaudi primogenitam" and "Guillelmus filius comitis, vel alter filius", together with "Combralium et comitatum"[286].
     "Betrothed ([1210]) to [ELEONORE] de Forez, daughter of GUY [III] Comte de Forez & his second wife Alix ---. La Mure states that "la troisième et dernière fille de Guy III Comte de Forez et de son épouse Alice de Suilly" was "Eléonor de Forez" who, in a charter "alléguée par Justel de l’an 1210", was betrothed to "Guillaume fils de Guy II Comte d’Auvergne", that the betrothal was terminated "par le changement des affaires qui survint ès Maisons d’Auvergne et de Forez", and that the same daughter later married "un grand seigneur d’Auvergne nommé Guillaume de Baffie, seigneur de Baffie et de Viveron"[287]. In this way, La Mure conflates the daughter of Comte Guy [III] by his first marriage, who married Guillaume de Baffie as demonstrated by the charter dated Mar [1241/42] quoted above, with his younger daughter who was betrothed to Guillaume d’Auvergne. This must be incorrect in light of the source which names the older daughter, wife of Guillaume de Baffie, as "S" (see SEIGNEURS de BAFFIE, below). In an earlier passage, La Mure describes the background to this betrothal: Philippe II King of France had dispossessed Guy [II] of his county in 1210 in reprisal for his persecution of his brother Robert Bishop of Clermont, Guy de Dampierre Seigneur de Bourbon supported the king in this move, while the county of Forez supported the comte d’Auvergne[288]. The agreement is confirmed in the undated charter which records that "Reginaldus…primæ Lugdunensis ecclesiæ minister…et pater meus comes Forensis et Guido comes Arverniæ" agreed the marriages, firstly of "G. fratris mei" and "filias G. comitis Arverniæ", and secondly of "filius…dicti comitis Arverniæ" and "filiam […reliquæ filiæ fratris mei] fratris mei G. quondam comitis Forensis"[289]. This charter makes it clear that this daughter was the last remaining (unmarried) daughter ("reliquæ filiæ") of Comte Guy [III], but the document does not name her. La Mure gives no indication of the basis on which he names her "Eléonor", but presumably his source was Justel’s Histoire d’Auvergne (not yet consulted). No record has been found which indicates that this betrothal was ever finalised into a marriage, although the late date of Guillaume [X]’s recorded marriage suggests that he may have been married before and remarried only after the death of his earlier wife, who would presumably have died childless.
     "m (before 3 Feb 1225) as her second husband, ALEIDIS de Brabant, widow of ARNOLD [III] Graf van Looz en Rieneck, daughter of HENRI I Duke of Brabant & his first wife Mathilde de Flandre (-[1261/67]). The Genealogia Ducum Brabantiæ Heredum Franciæ refers to the third of the four daughters of "Henricus dux" as the wife of "comes de Alvernia" and mother of "Robertum comitem Bolonie et Alvernie et fratres eius et sorores"[290]. The Oude Kronik van Brabant names "Mariam, conthoralem Ottonis Quartus Romanorum imperatoris, Aleydam comitissam Auernie, Margaretam comitissam Gerardi comitis Ghelrie et Mechteldim, primo quidem comitissam Palatinam Rheni, postea…comitissam Hollandie" as the daughters of "Henricus…primus, dux Lotharingie" and his wife "Mechteldim, filiam Mathei Boloniensis comitis"[291]. "Willelmus…comes Arverniæ et Aleydis quondam comitissa de Los" renounced an inheritance from "dominus dux Lotharingiæ", presumably in connection with their forthcoming marriage although the document does not specify this, by charter dated 1 Feb 1224[292]. She married thirdly (before Dec 1251) as his second wife, Arnold [III] Heer van Wesemaal Marshall of Brabant. "Robertus comes Claremontis et Alverniæ, Aleydis mater eius, et Arnoldus dominus de Wensemale maritus" confirmed agreement concerning property by charter dated 1251[293]. Her third marriage is confirmed by a letter dated 1260 from "Ernoul chevalier Sire de Wesemale et Alys que fu contesse d’Auvergne sa femme" granted their rights in the county of Boulogne to "nostre cousine germaine la contesse Mahaut de Boloigne"[294]."

Conclusion: I tend to be swayed by the arguments of Settipani and therefore have adopted the lineage as outlined by Genealogics for Guillem/Guillaume IV and V (father/son). This leaves unanswered the question of whether Guillem/Guillaume II was the son of Guillem/Guillaume I (per Genealogics) or of one of his siblings, Bernard/Berenger (per Med Lands) or Trugarde & Bernard (per H&T). Med Lands, Wikipédia (FR), and H&T disagree with the Genealogics descent, showing Guillaume/Guilhem/Guillem II not as the son of Guillaume/Guilhem/Guillem I, but rather of his sibling, named variously Bernard, Berenger or Bernard/Berenger. For now, I have also adopted H&T's lineage, but continue to search for other information. GA Vaut.^6,3,7,2,8

This leaves unanswered the question of whether Guillem/Guillaume II was the son of Guillem/Guillaume I (per Genealogics) or of one of his siblings, Bernard/Berenger (per Med Lands) or Trugarde & Bernard (per H&T). Med Lands, Wikipédia (FR), and H&T disagree with the Genealogics descent, showing Guillaume/Guilhem/Guillem II not as the son of Guillaume/Guilhem/Guillem I, but rather of his sibling, named variously Bernard, Berenger or Bernard/Berenger. For now, I have also adopted H&T's lineage, but continue to search for other information. GA Vaut.^2,1,3,4,5 EDV-29.

      ; Per Med Lands:
     "GRUFFYDD ap Llywelyn, son of LLYWELYN ap Seisyll King of Gwynedd & his wife Angharad of Gwynedd (-killed Snowdonia 5 Aug 1063). [The Gwentian Chronicle records that "his son…Grufydd" succeeded his father as prince of Gwynedd after "Llywelyn son of Seisyllt" was killed in 1021[426].] His parentage is confirmed by the Chronicle of the Princes of Wales which records that "Bleddyn son of Cynvyn [and] Gruffudd son of Llywelyn…were brothers by the same mother…Angharad daughter of Meredudd king of the Britons"[427]. [The Gwentian Chronicle records that "Grufudd" defeated and killed "Iago son of Idwal prince of Gwynedd" and "took the government of Gwynedd and so became king of Wales from the Irish Channel to the Severn sea", dated to [1036] from the context[428].] He succeeded in 1039 as Prince of Gwynedd and Powys. The Chronicle of the Princes of Wales records that "Iago king of Gwynedd was slain" in 1037 and that "Gruffudd son of Llywelyn son of Seisyl governed in his stead", adding that the latter "from beginning to end pursued the Saxons and the other nations and killed and destroyed them…first…at Rhyd y Groes on the Severn"[429]. He accompanied Svein Godwinsson, son of Godwin Earl of Wessex, on an expedition into South Wales in 1046[430]. He made himself ruler of all of Wales. Allied with Ælfgar ex-Earl of East Anglia, son of Leofric Earl of Mercia, he invaded England and sacked Hereford Oct 1055. Peace was negotiated by Leofric Earl of Mercia and Harold Earl of Wessex, under which Gruffydd swore allegiance to King Edward "the Confessor"[431]. Leofgar, recently appointed Bishop of Hereford, led an army against Gruffydd but was defeated and killed 16 Jun 1056[432]. He started raiding England again after Ælfric Earl of Mercia died [1062]. England launched a full-scale campaign against him, led by Tostig Earl of Northumbria invading north Wales and Harold raiding the southern coast[433]. [The Gwentian Chronicle records that "Caradoc son of Rhydderch [error for son of Grufudd son of Rhydderch?] son of Iestin hired Harallt to come with an army to S. Wales" and together they defeated Prince Gruffydd in 1060[434].] The Chronicle of the Princes of Wales records that "Gruffudd son of Llywelyn…fell through the treachery of his own men" in 1061[435]. Simeon of Durham records that "Griffin king of the Britons" was killed by his own men "Non Aug" in 1064[436]. Gruffydd was not caught by this pincer movement but was killed by his own men[437].
     "m firstly (1039) as her second husband, ---, formerly wife of HYWEL Prince of South Wales, daughter of ---. The Chronicle of the Princes of Wales records that "Gruffudd son of Llywelyn son of Seisyl overcame Howel and captured his wife and took her to be his own wife"[438]. The Gwentian Chronicle records that "Grufudd son of Llywelyn son of Seisyllt" defeated "Hywel son of Edwin and took his wife from him and kept her as his concubine" in 1038[439].
     "m secondly ([1058]) as her first husband, EALDGYTH of Mercia, daughter of ÆLFGAR Earl of Mercia & his first wife Ælfgifu. Orderic Vitalis records that "Edwinus…et Morcarus comites, filii Algari…Edgivam sororem eorum" married firstly "Gritfridi…regis Guallorum" and secondly "Heraldo"[440]. In a later passage, the same source names her “Aldit”[441]. She married secondly (1064/early 1066) Harold II King of England. There is no source which pinpoints the date of Ealdgyth´s second marriage. Freeman suggests that the absence of any reference to his queen in the sources which record the circumstances of Harold´s accession and [coronation may indicate that his marriage took place afterwards[442]."

     BIRTH     1584, Montgomery, Powys, Wales
     DEATH     Sep 1628 (aged 43–44), Henrico County, Virginia, USA
     John's parents were Richard Price and Ursula Middleton.
     John Price was born in 1584 in Manafon, Montgomeryshire, Wales. He was the son of Richard Price (1560-1638) and Ursula Middleton Price (1560-1637). John married Anne Baker (1604-1666) in Virginia in 1621. Anne was the daughter of Richard Baker and Margaret (Elkes) Baker.
     John and Anne Baker Price were the parents of the following 3 known children:
     23 May 1638. Patent granted Matthew Price as son and heir of John Price for 150 acres on Turkey Island Creek in Henrico Co. "granted by patent to his late father John Price, now in possession of his mother Ann Hallom, Widow - being due unto him in right of his father who had a patent granted 20 Feb 1619. PB 1, part 2, p.558
     John Price was born in 1584 and came to America in 1610/11, at a time when life was exceedingly hard and few survived. John Price was about twenty-seven years of age when he left Wales to come to America from the county of Montgomery or possibly Brecknock Wales. John Price and his family traveled on the Ships - The PROSPEROUS, The ELIZABETH and The STARR which made up the convoy of 300 people. The trip took three months to make the journey and they arrived in Virginia 22 May 1611.
     John Price settled in The Neck of Land Charles City. Indians fell suddenly, by night on settlers 22 March 1622 killing 347 people. The Indians burned their homes and plantations, almost defacing the beauty of the whole colony. John Price was listed as a survivor of the Indian massacre of 1622.
     John Price and his family lived among other famous settlers such as Captain John Smith who shouldered the biggest part of the responsibility of the settlement, John Rolfe and Pocahontas who left the settlement to return to England in 1616. This left 350 people behind living in six widely scattered and dangerously isolated communities.
     John Price also became known as an ancient "planter", meaning that any man who worked seven years "plus" for their "divedent" of 100 acres finally received their land. Many worked several additional years for possession of their land. This also made them eligible for another tract of land in the same amount.
     John Price was born in Brecknock Wales 1584-5 to Richard Price II, of Manovan and Ursula Middleton. John Price died in Virginia in 1628.
     Son and heir of Richard Price in an indenture 1610-1611 (British Museum, A.D.D. Charter 1036). Lineage of John Price approved by the order of Descendants of the Knights in the Garter in England. Descendants are eligible for membership in the National Society, Daughters of the Barons of Runnemede.
     Descendants are also eligible to join The Jamestowne Society.
