The duchy of Aquitaine was a disparate territory, stretching from the Atlantic coast to the western border of the duchy of Burgundy. The central part of the duchy included the counties of Angoulême, la Marche, and Périgord (see the document ANGOULÊME, LA MARCHE, PERIGORD). To the east of Angoulême lay Limousin, which included the vicomtés of Comborn, Limoges (under the suzerainty of the counts of Angoulême in the early 11th century, as shown by the Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes which records the succession in Limoges "intercedente Willelmo comite Engolismensis"[1]), Ségur, Turenne and Ventadour.

Chapter 1. SEIGNEURS de CHÂTEAUNEUF

The sources show that the Châteauneuf family which is set out below was closely linked to the vicomtes de Rochechouart (see Chapter 8). The Châteauneuf in question has not been identified with certainty. Châteauneuf-sur-Charente, to the west of Angoulême, appears too far from Rochechouart. Another possibility is Châteauneuf-la-Forêt, east of Linards and south-east of Limoges, which appears too far from Rochechouart in the other direction. Pierre de Châteauneuf, archdeacon of Limoges, whose family unit is shown below appears to be part of the family of the seigneurs de Châteauneuf-la-Forêt[2]. However, it is not certain that the other Châteauneuf entries which are set out here relate to members of the same family.

4. JEAN de Châteauneuf ([1290/1300]-after 16 May 1316). The testament of "Simon vicomte de Rochechouart", dated 16 May 1316, ordered that “Perrin d´Arnalhac son neveu (and in default “Jean de Châteauneuf chevalier...”)” should be made a knight to undertake “le voyage d´outre-mer” should he be unable to make the journey himself[16].

"Gui de Lastours et son frère Seguin" witnessed an undated charter under which "Guillaume de Saint-Yrieix et son frère Adémar de Saint-Rabier" donated property "dans la paroisse de Badefol" to Notre-Dame de Dalon[287].

m as her second husband, MATHILDE du Perche, widow of RAYMOND [I] Vicomte de Turenne, daughter of GEOFFROY Comte du Perche & his wife Beatrix de Ramerupt [Roucy] (before 1100-27 May 1143, bur Arnaco). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records the marriage of "Guidonem", son of "Gerardus", and "Matilde, matre Bosonis de Torena quæ Arnaco condita est"[288]. In another passage, the Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records that "Raymundus" married "Mathilde…soror Comitis de Pertico"[289]. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records the death "V Kal Jun" of "Mathildis uxor quondam Raymundi de Torenna" and her burial by "Guidone…Crassus viro suo filio Geraldi de Turribus" at "Arnaco", recording that her son Boson was killed within one month of his mother's death[290]. The necrology of Saint-Martial records the death “IV Kal Jun” of “Matheldis vicecomitissa”[291]. It is not certain that this entry relates to Mathilde du Perche Vicomtesse de Turenne, but no other vicomtesse of this name has yet been identified in the Limousin area.

The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Oliverius de Turribus" in a passage which apparently deals with events in 1166[320]. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records that "Oliverius de Turribus" attacked "Arnaco…Monasterii", dated to [1173] from the context[321]. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records that "Guillermus filius Wlgrimi Comes Engolismensis, Ademarus Vicecomes Lemovicensis, Oliverius filius Gulpherii senioris de Turribus" were among those who left for Jerusalem in 1178, stating in a later passage that "Olivierius de Turribus" died "in Cœna Domini…XV Kal Apr Hierosolymis" (in 1180 from the context) and that "Bernardo quoque de Turribus consanguineo" brought his body back for burial[322]. m ALMODIE de Comborn, daughter of ARCHAMBAUD [IV] "le Barbu" Vicomte de Comborn & his wife Humberge [Brunissent] de Limoges (-[1165] before 28 Aug, bur Arnaco).

The Pars Altera Chronici Lemovicensis of Geoffroy de Vigeois names "Constantinus de Born" as brother and enemy of "Bertranni de Born", although apparently incorrectly states that Constantin was "socer" of "Gulpherium filium Oliverii de Turribus"[331]. Constantin & his wife had one child:

i) GOUFFIER (-9 Apr ----). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Gulferium, quem Guido Vicecomes Lemovicensis destruxit" as of "Constantinus de Born de Agne filia Oliveri"[332]. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records the death "apud Vosias V Id Apr" of "Gulpherium de Turribus…anno ætatis suæ XXXIII" and his burial "Arnaco", also naming "Archembaldo patruo suo", the author recording this entry in a post-script commenting that the death occurred as he was terminating his book[333].

"Bulgrinus comes Engolismensis filius prædicti Willelmi Taillefer" confirmed the donations of his father to Notre-Dame de Dalon, in the presence of "Henrico de Turribus…" by charter dated 1171[340], although the date is surprising assuming that the death of Vulgrin's father is correctly reported as 1179 (see ANGOULEME).

2. BERNARD de Lastours (-after 1180). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records that "Bernardo quoque de Turribus consanguineo" brought his body back for burial after the death of "Olivierius de Turribus" in Jerusalem (in 1180 from the context)[341].

It is unclear from this passage whether this refers to the same wife or whether Guy Archambaud was married twice. Guy-Archambaud & his wife had one child:

Chapter 5. VICOMTES de LIMOGES

Limoges was in the heart of the area affected by the rivalry between the dukes of Aquitaine and Pepin King of the Franks in the mid-8th century. The Historia Monasterii Usercensis records that "Gaifarus Dux Aquitainiæ" incited "Lemovicenses" to rebellion during the reign of King Pepin, who recaptured the town[379]. No primary source records have yet been identified which confirm that Limoges, or the Limousin area, constituted a county in early Carolingian times or was ruled by a count appointed by the king. From the second quarter of the 9th century, isolated references have been found to counts at Limoges. The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records that "Ruterium comitem" (identified as Comte Rather who was killed at Fontenoy in 841, see the document CAROLINGIAN NOBILITY)) received "Lemovicæ", after "Emeno [comes Pictavinus]" was expelled from Poitou, so dated to [838/39][380]. In the mid-850s, a Comte Gérard held interests around Limoges: “Gerardus comes” exchanged “æcclesia...Rovariam...in pago Lemovicino in vicaria Flaviniacense” for “villam...in pago Biturico in vicaria Nirondense...Coiacus” with Stodilus Bishop of Limoges by charter dated 28 Jul 855[381]. He is presumably identifiable as Gérard Comte d´Aurillac (see AQUITAINE DUKES) rather than Gérard Comte de Vienne (see CAROLINGIAN NOBILITY). There is also an indication that Raymond I Comte de Toulouse (who died [863/65]) was count at Limoges around the same time: a confused passage in the Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records "Odo" as “filius Raimundi comitis Lemovicensis”, the latter probably being identified as Comte Raymond I[382]. His son Odon Comte de Toulouse retained interests in Limoges: "Oddo…comes uxorque mea Garsindis" sold property "in comitatu Lemovicino…villa…Orbaciacus" by charter dated Aug 887, with the consent of "fratre nostro Airberto" and subscribed by "Garsis comitis, Willelmi comitis…"[383]. Thereafter the government of Limoges was entrusted to vicomtes.

As shown in Part A below, there appear to have been two families of vicomtes in Limoges in the 10thcentury, firstly the descendants of Hildebert who was granted property in Limoges by Emperor Charles II “le Chauve” in 876, and secondly Vicomte Rainaud and his possible son Archambaud. In addition, there is the shadowy figure of Foucher, alleged to have been appointed as the first vicomte de Limoges possibly by Odon Comte de Toulouse, who is listed first in Part A. Archambaud´s widow married Géraud Vicomte de Limoges, the grandson of Hildebert, after the death of her first husband (probably in 957/58) and no further members of Archambaud´s family have been traced in the primary sources, although his name suggests a connection with the family of the vicomtes de Turenne. The name “Hildebert”, encountered several times in the early generations of the main family of the vicomtes de Limoges, suggests a connection with the later Comtes de la Marche in which the name is found as “Audebert” (see the document ANGOULEME, LA MARCHE, PERIGORD). There is also a family relationship between the vicomtes de Limoges and the vicomtes d´Aubusson (also in ANGOULEME, LA MARCHE, PERIGORD): Turpion Bishop of Limoges, who donated “villam...Bacallaria...et...unum mansum in curte Wulteziaco in villa...Parciacus” with the consent of “nostris consanguineis seu optimatibus Limovicensi pago...Hildegario vicecomite, Rainaldo vicecomite, Archambaldo, Ademaro” by charter dated to [936/42][384], is described by Adémar de Chabannes as “avunculus” of Robert Vicomte d´Aubusson[385].

A. VICOMTES de LIMOGES

1. [FOUCHER (-after [888]). [Vicomte de Limoges]. A continuator of the Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records that “Eudes King of France” installed "Fulcherium" at Limoges and "Lemovicinum per vicecomites ordinavit", dated to [888] from the context[386]. The later Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Fulcherius" as first to receive the viscounty of Limoges from King Eudes[387], presumably based on Adémar de Chabannes. The editor of the version of Adémar´s Chronicle consulted comments that the whole section of which this passage forms part “est de pure fantaisie”[388]. Indeed, the same passage also records that King Eudes was “filius Raimundi comitis Lemovicensis” and that he was first consecrated “in Aquitania rex” at Limoges where “coins were struck with his name” in place of his predecessor “Caroli”. This passage appears to confuse King Eudes with Odon Comte de Toulouse, son of Raymond I Comte de Toulouse, who succeeded his father in 886 (see the document TOULOUSE KINGS, DUKES & COUNTS). However, it is possible that Comte Raymond I held Limoges among his other territories and that his son enjoyed the jurisdictional competence to appoint a vicomte de Limoges. This possible confusion was highlighted by Lasteyrie in 1874, Ferdinand Lot explaining how the confusion could have resulted by highlighting three charters relating to property “Orbaciacus” sold by Comte Odon to the archbishop of Bourges, who donated it to Beaulieu abbey, the donation being confirmed by a charter of King Eudes[389]. Lot also argues convincingly that the passage in question could be attributable to Adémar himself, restoring some credibility to the text[390]. Fage dismisses the existence of this Vicomte Foucher, but he is assuming that he was the same person as Foucher Vicomte de Segur who is named in charters dated to the 940s, which is improbable from a chronological point of view[391]. Assuming that this Vicomte Foucher did exist, it is likely that he was closely related to Hildebert, father of Vicomte Hildegaire, maybe his brother. It is possible that he died without direct heirs, the title passing either to Hildbert or to Hildegaire.]

2. HILDEBERT [Audebert] (-[14 May 904/1 May 914]). Emperor Charles II “le Chauve” granted "villas...Cavaliacus...in comitatu Lemovicensi" to "fidelis noster...Hildebertus" by charter dated 17 Jul 876[392]. “Sicbardus et conjuves mea Alaitrudis” sold a vine “infra ur[be Lemov]icino in pago Burgolio in villa...Tedlido” to “Eldeberto [et conjuge] sua Adaltrudis” by charter dated Sep 883[393]. A charter dated 14 May 904 records a judgment by Ebles Comte de Poitou ordering "Aldeberto Lemovicensi" to return “silvam Sanctæ Mariæ...Boerecia” to the abbey of Nouaillé[394]. [Vicomte de Limoges]. He is named as vicomte in his son´s donation dated 1 May 914 (see below), but no primary source has yet been identified which accords him the title during his lifetime. m firstly ADALTRUDE, [sister of GERAUD d'Aurillac, daughter of GERAUD Comte [d´Aurillac] & his wife Adaltrude ---] (-after Sep 883). “Sicbardus et conjuves mea Alaitrudis” sold a vine “infra ur[be Lemov]icino in pago Burgolio in villa...Tedlido” to “Eldeberto [et conjuge] sua Adaltrudis” by charter dated Sep 883[395]. It has been suggested that Adaltrude was the sister of Gérard Comte d´Aurillac[396]. m secondly DEDA, daughter of --- (-after 920). “Deda femina” donated property “in pago Limovicensi in vicaria Novicense in villa...Adiola” to Limoges Saint-Etienne, for the soul of “Hildeberti conjugis mei” and for the damage caused to the church by “filius noster Hildebertus abba”, with the consent of “filio meo Helia”, by charter dated 920, signed by “Dedane...Helie, Eldegarii, Fulcherii, Gerao, Ingelberti, Gozberti, Guillebaldi”[397]. The absence of the viscomital title attributed to Hildebert in this document suggests that Deda´s husband may not have been the same person as Vicomte Hildebert. However, the names of the third, fourth and fifth witnesses, possibly the donor´s step-children, indicate a connection to the vicecomital family. In addition, no other individual of named Hildebert has been noted in the documentation of Limoges Saint-Etienne at that time. Vicomte Hildebert & his first wife had [four] children:

a) HILDEGAIRE (-[943/47]). Vicomte de Limoges. “Eldegarius vicecomes” donated property “in pago Limovicino in vicaria Limovicense...alodem meum...Cavaliacus” to Limoges Saint-Etienne, for the souls of “Aldeberti vicecomiti patri meo necnon et matri meæ...Adaltrude seu Petroni abbati consobrino meo”, by charter dated 1 May 914, signed by “Aldegarii vicecomitis”[398]. “Dedane...Helie, Eldegarii, Fulcherii, Gerao, Ingelberti, Gozberti, Guillebaldi” signed the charter dated 920 under which “Deda femina” donated property “in pago Limovicensi in vicaria Novicense in villa...Adiola” to Limoges Saint-Etienne, for the soul of “Hildeberti conjugis mei” and for the damage caused to the church by “filius noster Hildebertus abba”, with the consent of “filio meo Helia”[399]. The third, fourth and fifth signatories could have been the donor´s stepchildren. “Eldegarii vicecomiti...” witnessed the charter dated Nov 922 under which “Landricus et uxor mea...Ildia” donated property “in pago Limovicino...de Lemovicas civitate in pago Jucunciaco manso...Pereto” to Limoges Saint-Etienne[400]. "Hildegrius Lemouicinorum vicecomes et uxor illius Tetberga" returned "la ville d´Athee" to Tours Saint-Martin in return for "la villa de Brigeuil", by charter dated in the compilation to 884[401]. Roblin states this document should be redated to [923/26][402]. Turpion Bishop of Limoges donated “villam...Bacallaria...et...unum mansum in curte Wulteziaco in villa...Parciacus”, with the consent of “nostris consanguineis seu optimatibus Limovicensi pago...Hildegario vicecomite, Rainaldo vicecomite, Archambaldo, Ademaro”, by charter dated to [936/42][403]. “Ramnulfus” sold property “in urbe Biturcico in vicaria Dunense in villa...Duno” to “Eldejere vescommite et ucxore sua...Tecbergane et Giraldo filium nostrum” by charter dated 15 Mar 941[404]. “Eldegarius vicecomes et uxor mea Teotberga et filii nostri Giraldus et Eldebertus” donated “mansos novem in pago Limovicino vicaria Mansiacense in villa...Benaias” to Limoges Saint-Marcial by charter dated to after 943[405]. [A fragmentary chronicle of the dukes of Aquitaine records a dispute between “vicecomes Ebles de Thoarcio” and “Ademaro in Lemovicensi pago”, dating it to “defuncto Hildegario vicecomite”[406]. Fage points out that Lasteyrie has dated this conflict to 963, and suggests that Vicomte Hildegaire´s death should be dated to shortly before this date[407]. However, this “fragmentary chronicle” is one of a series (discussed in the introduction to the section Du Puy-du-Fou in the document AQUITAINE DUKES) which provide the basis for the genealogy of the Puy-du-Fou family which, according to Richard, was fabricated by René du Puy-du-Fou (and therefore presumably dated to the 1620s/1630s) who also fabricated a chronicle in latin as the supposed primary source which was first published by Augustin du Paz in his Table généalogique de la maison Du Puy-du-Fou in 1639[408]. Parts of these spurious documents include details which can be verified against other primary sources, so the boundaries between historical accuracy and fabrication are difficult to determine. Until more corroboration emerges, it is suggested that this proposed date of death of Vicomte Hildegaire should be treated with caution. m THIBERGE, daughter of --- (-after 943). "Hildegrius Lemouicinorum vicecomes et uxor illius Tetberga" returned "la ville d´Athee" to Tours Saint-Martin in return for "la villa de Brigeuil", by charter dated in the compilation to 884[409]. Roblin states this document should be redated to [923/26][410]. “Ramnulfus” sold property “in urbe Biturcico in vicaria Dunense in villa...Duno” to “Eldejere vescommite et ucxore sua...Tecbergane et Giraldo filium nostrum” by charter dated 15 Mar 941[411]. “Eldegarius vicecomes et uxor mea Teotberga et filii nostri Giraldus et Eldebertus” donated “mansos novem in pago Limovicino vicaria Mansiacense in villa...Benaias” to Limoges Saint-Marcial by charter dated to after 943[412]. Vicomte Hildegaire & his wife had two children:

i) GERAUD (-988). “Ramnulfus” sold property “in urbe Biturcico in vicaria Dunense in villa...Duno” to “Eldejere vescommite et ucxore sua...Tecbergane et Giraldo filium nostrum” by charter dated 15 Mar 941[413]. Vicomte de Limoges 974. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Geraldus" as successor of "Fulcherius" in the viscounty of Limoges[414].

- see below.

ii) HILDEBERT [Audebert] (-after 943). “Eldegarius vicecomes et uxor mea Teotberga et filii nostri Giraldus et Eldebertus” donated “mansos novem in pago Limovicino vicaria Mansiacense in villa...Benaias” to Limoges Saint-Marcial by charter dated to after 943[415].

b) [FOUCHER . “Dedane...Helie, Eldegarii, Fulcherii, Gerao, Ingelberti, Gozberti, Guillebaldi” signed the charter dated 920 under which “Deda femina” donated property “in pago Limovicensi in vicaria Novicense in villa...Adiola” to Limoges Saint-Etienne, for the soul of “Hildeberti conjugis mei” and for the damage caused to the church by “filius noster Hildebertus abba”, with the consent of “filio meo Helia”[416]. The third, fourth and fifth signatories could have been the donor´s stepchildren. [same person as …? FOUCHER (-after [950]). Vicomte de Ségur. The question of this possible co-identity has been much debated. Foucher Vicomte de Ségur is named in two sources dated to the 940s (see the chapter dealing with the Vicomtes de Ségur, below). Fage suggests that he was the son of Hildebert Vicomte de Limoges: he states that “à la mort d´Aldebert, son second fils Foucher...conserva seulement la seigneurie de Ségur qu´il avait receuillie dans la succession paternelle”[417]. However, as can be seen from the 920 charter quoted above, the evidence that Hildebert had a son named Foucher is not conclusive. In support of his argument, Fage also quotes three manuscript versions of the chanson de Gérald de Roussillon which name “e viscoms de Limoges...Girau” (presumably identifiable as Gérard Vicomte de Limoges, son of Vicomte Hildegaire) and state, respectively, that he was “...filz Audoin e neis Fouchau”, “filhs Andevi e nebs Folquau” and “nies Audoin et nies Folquau”[418]. Fage suggests that “Fouchau/Folquau” indicates Foucher Vicomte de Ségur, while glossing over the difficulty of identifying “Audoin/Andevi” with Vicomte Hildegaire. Dated to the 12th/13th centuries, the chansons de geste are noted more for their literary invention than historical accuracy, akin to the present-day genre of the historical novel, although their historical backdrop is generally broadly correct. They constitute a difficult source on which to rely for precise details of family relationships and, as can be seen above, in any case the texts under consideration provide two alternatives. In addition, it is likely that the word “neis/nebs” is as imprecise as “nepos” in Latin, covering both nephew and grandson. The complication in the present case is introduced by the possible existence at the end of the 9th century of Foucher Vicomte de Limoges (see above), which introduces the possibility that the chanson does not refer to the vicomte de Ségur at all but intends to highlight indistinct family relationships between Vicomte Gérard and supposed earlier vicomtes de Limoges. The existence of some family relationship between the vicomtes de Limoges and the vicomtes de Ségur is confirmed by the 11th century charter under which "Ademarus vicecomes et Geraldus vicecomes consanguineus meus" donated “unum mansum...a Meseirac in vicaria Usercensi” to Uzerche[419]. Baluze identifies the donors as Adémar Vicomte de Ségur and Géraud Vicomte de Limoges, suggesting that they were first cousins, sons of two brothers[420]. However, the order of the names of the donors in the document suggests that Adémar was the senior of the two, whereas he would have been junior to Vicomte Gérard if he had been the son of Foucher, younger son of Vicomte Hildegaire. Another possibility is that the relationship between the two families was through the female line, either through Gérard´s mother or one of his grandmothers. The fact that the supposed granddaughter of Vicomte Foucher married the son of Vicomte Gérard suggests that the relationship may have been a more distant one, as the marriage of second cousins at that time would have been unusual. Settipani suggests yet another possibility: that Vicomte Foucher was the nephew of Vicomte Hildegaire[421].

c) [GERARD (-after 920). “Dedane...Helie, Eldegarii, Fulcherii, Gerao, Ingelberti, Gozberti, Guillebaldi” signed the charter dated 920 under which “Deda femina” donated property “in pago Limovicensi in vicaria Novicense in villa...Adiola” to Limoges Saint-Etienne, for the soul of “Hildeberti conjugis mei” and for the damage caused to the church by “filius noster Hildebertus abba”, with the consent of “filio meo Helia”[422]. The third, fourth and fifth signatories could have been the donor´s stepchildren. Settipani assumes that “...Gerao...” in the signatory list was the son of Vicomte Hildegaire, the future Vicomte Géraud[423]. However, the chronology of Vicomte Géraud´s life is inconsistent with his having been old enough to have witnessed a charter in 920. It is more likely that “Gerao”, assuming that he was a member of the vicecomital family, was a younger brother of Vicomte Hildegaire who presumably died soon afterwards as there is no other trace of him in the sources.]

d) [ALTRUDE . A fragmentary chronicle of the dukes of Aquitaine records that "vicecomes Ebles de Thoarcio" married "Hildegaris Lemovincenis vicecomitis filia Altrudis"[424]. It should be noted that the genealogy of the vicomtes de Thouars which is included in this document cannot be fitted into the family which has been reconstructed from other primary sources and is shown in the document. Its accuracy is therefore open to doubt. As discussed above under her supposed father, this “fragmentary chronicle” forms part of a series of documents which was apparently fabricated in the early 17th century. m EBLES de Thouars .]

Vicomte Hildebert & his second wife had two children:

e) HELIE (-after 920). “Deda femina” donated property “in pago Limovicensi in vicaria Novicense in villa...Adiola” to Limoges Saint-Etienne, for the soul of “Hildeberti conjugis mei” and for the damage caused to the church by “filius noster Hildebertus abba”, with the consent of “filio meo Helia”, by charter dated 920[425].

f) HILDEBERT (-before 920). “Deda femina” donated property “in pago Limovicensi in vicaria Novicense in villa...Adiola” to Limoges Saint-Etienne, for the soul of “Hildeberti conjugis mei” and for the damage caused to the church by “filius noster Hildebertus abba”, with the consent of “filio meo Helia”, by charter dated 920[426]. Abbé of Saint-Etienne de Limoges.

The precise relationship between the following person and the preceding family has not been traced. It is possible that he was related through the female line.

1. PETRONUS (-before 1 May 914). “Eldegarius vicecomes” donated property “in pago Limovicino in vicaria Limovicense...alodem meum...Cavaliacus” to Limoges Saint-Etienne, for the souls of “Aldeberti vicecomiti patri meo necnon et matri meæ...Adaltrude seu Petroni abbati consobrino meo”, by charter dated 1 May 914[427]. Abbé of [Saint-Pierre du Queyroix][428].

The following two individuals were members of what appear to have been a second family of vicomtes at Limoges in the 10th century, as mentioned in the introduction to the present chapter. Another possibility is that Vicomte Rainaud was the same person as Rainaud [I] Vicomte d´Aubusson (see the document ANGOULEME, LA MARCHE, PERIGORD), although this does not explain his apparent connection with Archambaud nor their common connection with the property of “Droticus” (see below). Turpion Bishop of Limoges, who describes Vicomte Rainaud among his “consanguineis seu optimatibus” in the charter dated to [936/42] which is quoted below, is described as “avunculus” of Robert Vicomte d´Aubusson in another source.

1. RAINAUD (-after Aug 958). Vicomte [de Limoges]. Turpion Bishop of Limoges donated “villam...Bacallaria...et...unum mansum in curte Wulteziaco in villa...Parciacus”, with the consent of “nostris consanguineis seu optimatibus Limovicensi pago...Hildegario vicecomite, Rainaldo vicecomite, Archambaldo, Ademaro”, by charter dated to [936/42][429]. “Droticus” donated “æcclesiam in pago Lemovicensi in proprio alodo...ad Turrim...sancti Salvatoris” to Limoges Saint-Etienne, in the presence of “seniorum meorum Rainaldi...vicecomitis et Bosonis marchionis” [the latter presumably identified as Boson [I] Comte de la Marche], by charter dated Aug 958[430]. The place named in this document is near the property granted to the donor by Vicomte Archambaud by charter dated 5 Mar 957 (see below), which suggests that Rainaud may have been Archambaud´s co-ruler in his vicomté.

2. ARCHAMBAUD (-after 5 Mar 957). Possible family connections of Archambaud are suggested by the charter dated to [1003/36] under which "Rotbertus de Chatmart et Gaufredus frater eius…Ermesindis et Belieldis uxores eorum, Ebolus et Guido et Geraldus filii Gaufredi, Arcambaldus et Geraldus filii Rotberti" donated property in "manso de Monsor" to Uzerche[431], the connection being "Monsor" [Moussours near Uzerche]. [Turpion Bishop of Limoges donated “villam...Bacallaria...et...unum mansum in curte Wulteziaco in villa...Parciacus”, with the consent of “nostris consanguineis seu optimatibus Limovicensi pago...Hildegario vicecomite, Rainaldo vicecomite, Archambaldo, Ademaro”, by charter dated to [936/42][432]. It is not known whether “Archambaldo” in this document is the same person as the future vicomte but this appears possible.] Vicomte [de Limoges]. “Archambaldus vicecomes et uxor sua Rotildis” sold property “in avocatione sancti Salvatoris et sancta Maria et sancti Austregisili...ecclesia...pago Lemovico in...villa...Ille Cacœria...” to “Droctrico” by charter dated 5 Mar 957[433]. m as her first husband, ROTHILDE, daughter of ---. “Archambaldus vicecomes et uxor sua Rotildis” sold property “in avocatione sancti Salvatoris et sancta Maria et sancti Austregisili...ecclesia...pago Lemovico in...villa...Ille Cacœria...” to “Droctrico” by charter dated 5 Mar 957[434]. She married secondly Géraud Vicomte de Limoges. "Hildegarius Lemovicensium pontifex" granted privileges to Uzerche, naming "genitore meo…domno Geraldo vicecomite necnon et genetrice mea Rotilde…" by charter dated to [970/86][435]. "Rotildis vicecomitissa" donated "mansum…a Monsor…in vicaria Usercensi" to Uzerche, for the souls of "Archambaldi senioris mariti mei" who had given this property to her and "Geraldi vicecomitis senioris mei", by charter dated to [Jul 987/988], witnessed by "filii eiusdem Rothildis, Aldegarius episcopus, Guido, Geraldus, Alduinus abbas et cæteri filii…"[436].

GERAUD, son of HILDEGAIRE Vicomte de Limoges & his wife Thiberge --- (-988). Settipani suggests that Géraud was the fifth signatory in the following document dated 920[437]: “Dedane... Helie, Eldegarii, Fulcherii, Gerao, Ingelberti, Gozberti, Guillebaldi” signed the charter dated 920 under which “Deda femina” donated property “in pago Limovicensi in vicaria Novicense in villa...Adiola” to Limoges Saint-Etienne, for the soul of “Hildeberti conjugis mei” and for the damage caused to the church by “filius noster Hildebertus abba”, with the consent of “filio meo Helia”[438]. However, the chronology of Géraud´s life, particularly the estimated date of his marriage, is inconsistent with his having been old enough to have witnessed a charter in 920. As noted above, it is more likely that “Gerao”, assuming that he was a member of the vicecomital family, was a younger brother of Vicomte Hildegaire. “Ramnulfus” sold property “in urbe Biturcico in vicaria Dunense in villa...Duno” to “Eldejere vescommite et ucxore sua...Tecbergane et Giraldo filium nostrum” by charter dated 15 Mar 941[439]. “Eldegarius vicecomes et uxor mea Teotberga et filii nostri Giraldus et Eldebertus” donated “mansos novem in pago Limovicino vicaria Mansiacense in villa...Benaias” to Limoges Saint-Marcial by charter dated to after 943[440]. Vicomte de Limoges. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Geraldus" as successor of "Fulcherius" in the viscounty of Limoges[441]. "Ademarus vicecomes et Geraldus vicecomes consanguineus meus" donated “unum mansum...a Meseirac in vicaria Usercensi” to Uzerche by charter dated to the 11th century[442]. Baluze identifies the donors as Adémar Vicomte de Ségur and Géraud Vicomte de Limoges, suggesting that they were first cousins, sons of two brothers[443]. The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes names "Geraldo vicecomite et filius eius Widone" when recording that they fought "Helias Petragoricensi comite"[444], although this passage is presumably inaccurate as Hélie [I] Comte de Périgord only succeeded to his county after the death of his father in [1003/12], many years after the death of Vicomte Gérard.

m (after Mar 957) as her second husband, ROTHILDE, widow of ARCHAMBAUD Vicomte ---, daughter of ---. “Archambaldus vicecomes et uxor sua Rotildis” sold property “in pago Lemovico in...villa...Ille Cacœria...” to “Droctrico” by charter dated 5 Mar 957[445]. "Hildegarius Lemovicensium pontifex" granted privileges to Uzerche, naming "genitore meo…domno Geraldo vicecomite necnon et genetrice mea Rotilde…" by charter dated to [970/86][446]. "Rotildis vicecomitissa" donated "mansum…a Monsor…in vicaria Usercensi" to Uzerche, for the souls of "Archambaldi senioris mariti mei" who had given this property to her and "Geraldi vicecomitis senioris mei", by charter dated to [Jul 987/988], witnessed by "filii eiusdem Rothildis, Aldegarius episcopus, Guido, Geraldus, Alduinus abbas et cæteri filii…"[447]. Le Laboureur suggests that Rothilde was “fille et héritière du Vicomte de Brosse et d´une dame nommée Tatberga, qualifiée ayeule du Vicomte Guy dans un titre de l´abbaye d´Userche”[448]. The point relating to “Tatberga” presumably refers to the charter dated Aug 1019 under which "Guido et uxor mea Emma…et filii nostri Geraldus, Ademarus, Petrus" donated "ecclesiam…Sancti Bibiano…a Nioli" to Uzerche, for the souls of "…aviæ meæ Tetiscræ et…patris mei Geraldi et…Rotildis matris meæ"[449]. “Tetiscræ” in this last document is likely to be a mistranscription. If the name was “Tatbergæ”, this probably refers to the paternal grandmother of Vicomte Guy not the mother of Rothilde. Concerning the fundamental point made by Le Laboureur, Settipani has pointed out that no primary source reference is quoted by Le Laboureur to support the statement and suggests that it may be based on an unsound conclusion drawn because the castle of Brosse was held by Rothilde´s descendants and is later recorded as a vicomté[450].

Vicomte Géraud & his wife had [eleven] children:

1. GUY [I] de Limoges (-Limoges 27 Oct 1025, bur Limoges Saint-Martial). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "duo Pontificatum Lemovicensem adepti…Ildegarius et Alduinus, alter Guido…qui Tursturiacensem Abbatiam construxisse narrator, Aimericus de Rupecavardi…Ostofrancus, et Geraldus de Argentonio, Gaufredus…Abbas S. Marcialis" as the children of "Gerardus"[451]. The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes names "Geraldo vicecomite et filius eius Widone" when recording that they fought "Helias Petragoricensi comite"[452]. Ademar names "Widone" son of "Geraldo vicecomite" and, in a later passage, states that he was brother of "episcopus Alduinus Lemovicæ"[453]. "Rotildis vicecomitissa" donated "mansum…a Monsor…in vicaria Usercensi" to Uzerche, for the souls of "Archambaldi senioris mariti mei" who had given this property to her and "Geraldi vicecomitis senioris mei", by charter dated to [Jul 987/988], witnessed by "filii eiusdem Rothildis, Aldegarius episcopus, Guido, Geraldus, Alduinus abbas et cæteri filii…"[454].

Bishop of Limoges 976-980. He founded the abbey of Uzerche. "Hildegarius Lemovicensium pontifex" granted privileges to Uzerche, for the souls of "fratris mei Guidonis ac conjugis eius Emmæ", and names "genitore meo…domno Geraldo vicecomite necnon et genetrice mea Rotilde…vicecomes Lemovicensis Ademarus et uxor sua Melissendis", adding that after the death of "predictus Ademarus…gener ipsius Guido" married "filia ipsius…Emma", by charter dated to [970/86], witnessed by "…Archambaldi honorabilis, Sulpiciæ uxoris eius"[457]. “Ramnulf et filii mei Geraldus” sold property in Limoges to “Eldoinus et frater suus Ildegarius episcopus” by charter dated 19 Jun 988[458]. The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records the death, and burial "apud Sanctum Dionisium", of "episcopus Aldegerius Lemovicæ" as well as the election of "pontifex Alduinus frater eius" as his successor[459].

3. AIMERY "Ostofrancus" de Limoges (-[Mar/Aug] 1019).

8. ADALMODE de Limoges . The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records that "Aldebertus frater [Helias Petragoricensi comite]" married "sorore Widonis vicecomitis"[471]. Ademar records the second marriage of "Adalmode coniuge…Aldeberti" to Duke William[472]. The Chronicle of Petrus Malleacensis records that Adalmodis was wife of Boson Comte du Périgord and daughter of "Candida", for whom Duke Guillaume promised to expand "fluvium Rhodanum Regni" in return for marrying her daughter[473], but this is not consistent with the other sources. According to the Chronicle of Maillezais, Adalmode was the daughter of Adelaide d'Anjou (presumably by her first husband Etienne de Brioude/Gévaudan), and also widow of Boson Comte du Périgord (brother of Comte Audebert [I], whom he survived by several years). Thierry Stasser has shown that this is incorrect[474]. m firstly ([990]) AUDEBERT [I] Comte de La Marche et du Périgord, son of BOSON [I] "le Vieux" Comte de La Marche & his wife Emma de Périgueux (-killed in battle near Gençay 997, bur Carroux). m secondly ([997]) as his first wife, GUILLAUME V Duke of Aquitaine [GUILLAUME III Comte de Poitou], son of GUILLAUME IV "Fier-à-Bras" Duke of Aquitaine [GUILLAUME II Comte de Poitou] & his wife Emma de Blois ([969]-Maillezais 31 Jan 1030, bur Maillezais, Abbaye de Saint-Pie).

"Ademarus vicecomes Lemovicensis" donated "ecclesiam de Celom" to Uzerche by charter dated 1068, witnessed by "Umberga uxor Ademari, filii eorum Elias, Petrus et Ademarus"[572].

The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis refers to the mother of "Guido filius Ademari vicecomtiis" as "sorore Sectoris-ferri comitis Engolismensis"[585]. It is possible that this passage results from confusion with the first wife of Vicomte Adémar [II], recorded in secondary sources as Humberge d'Angoulême (see above) although her Angoulême origin has not yet been confirmed from primary sources. It is unlikely that the wives of both Vicomtes de Limoges were from the family of the Comtes d'Angoulême. Not only would this mean that the younger Vicomte married his first cousin on his mother's side of the family (few first cousin marriages have been observed in the families of the Aquitainian nobility at that time) but also that Vicomte Adémar [III]'s daughter Emma would have been doubly related to her third husband (assuming that Emma was born from her father's first marriage, which has not yet been verified). If the first wife of Vicomte Adémar [III] was from the Angoulême family, from a chronological point of view her father must have been Comte Guillaume [V] Talafer. m secondly (before 1108) MARIE des Cars, daughter of --- (-after 1124).

Vicomte Ademar [III] & his first wife had [two] children:

a) GUY [III] de Limoges (-1124). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Guillelmo et Helias" as sons of "Ademarum" who died before their father[588]. Another passage of the Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Guido filius Ademari vicecomtiis, de sorore Sectoris-ferri comitis Engolismensis", stating that he was known as "Graul" because of his "deformitatem et nigredinem corporis", and recording that "Maria de Carrio noverca ipsius" gave him poison again and again, wishing to favour the inheritance of "filio Heliæ"[589]. "Ademari…vicecomitis…cum filio suo Guidone" signed a charter dated 7 Oct 1114 relating to the election of the abbot of Saint-Martin de Limoges[590].

b) HUMBERGE dite BRUNISSENT de Limoges . The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "filia Ademari Vicecomitis Lemovicensis, qui Cluniaco Monachus obiit, ex baptismo Humberga, vulgo Brunicenda nominatur" as wife of "Archambaldus", specifying that she was heiress to Limoges after the death of her two brothers[593]. "Ademarus vicecomes Lemovicensis" donated property to Cluny by charter dated 1138, subscribed by "Archimbaldus vicecomes et uxor eius, filia predicti vicecomitis"[594]. "Archambaldus vicecomes" donated property to the abbey of Vigeois for the soul of "patre suo Bernardo vicecomite" with the consent of "sue uxore Brunissen" by charter dated to [1119/24][595]. "Ademarus Lemovicensis vicecomes et…Archambaudus vicecomes de Comborn et …Brunicens uxor eius et filia supradicti Ademari" donated property "in manso Motario" to Notre-Dame de Dalon by charter dated to [1121/38][596]. m ARCHAMBAUD [IV] "le Barbu" Vicomte de Comborn, son of BERNARD [I] Vicomte de Comborn & his second wife Ermengarde --- (-after 1147, bur Tulle).

Ademar [III] & his second wife had [two children]:

c) HELIE de Limoges (-before 9 Nov [1125/33], bur Limoges). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Guillelmo et Helias" as sons of "Ademarum" who died before their father[597]. Another passage of the Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis implies that Hélie was the son of his father's second marriage when it records that "Maria de Carrio noverca ipsius" (referring to "Guido filius Ademari vicecomtiis, de sorore Sectoris-ferri comitis Engolismensis") gave poison to Guy again and again, wishing to favour the inheritance of "filio Heliæ"[598]. "Domnus Ademarus vicecomes Lemovicensis" donated property to the priory of Aureil, for the souls of "filiorum suorum Guidonis et Helie", by charter dated to [1117/39][599].

"Ademarus vicecomes Lemovicensium" donated revenue from "ecclesiæ de Celom" to Uzerche, for the souls of "Guidonis et Eliæ…filiorum suorum" by charter dated to [1125/30][600].

d) EMMA de Limoges . The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "aliam filiam [Ademari]…Ennoa (seu Emma)" stating that she married "Guillermus Dux, frater Raymundi Antiochiæ principis" after the death of her earlier husband "Bardoni de Coniaco", before being abducted by "Willelmus Sector-ferri, filius Wlgrini Comitis Engolismensis"[601]. It is not certain that Emma was the daughter of Vicomte Adémar [III] by his second marriage. However, if Vicomte Adémar's first wife was a member of the family of the comtes d'Angoûleme (as speculated above), it is unlikely that she would have been Emma's mother, in view of Emma's third marriage. "Emma comitissa, uxor comitis Engolismensis, filia Ademari vicecomitis Lemovicensis" donated property "ripas stagni de Chalamans" to Notre-Dame de Dalon by undated charter[602]. The primary sources which confirm her first two marriages have not so far been identified. m firstly BARDON de Cognac, son of HELIE [II] de Chambarot Seigneur de Cognac & his wife --- (-before 1136). m secondly (1136) as his second wife, GUILLAUME X Duke of Aquitaine [GUILLAUME VIII Comte de Poitou], son of GUILLAUME IX Duke of Aquitaine, GUILLAUME VII Comte de Poitou & his wife Philippa [Mathilde] de Toulouse (1099-Santiago de Compostela 9 Apr 1137, bur Santiago de Compostela). m thirdly (after 1137) as his first wife, GUILLAUME d'Angoulême, son of VULGRIN II Comte d'Angoulême & his first wife Pontia de La Marche (-Messina 7 Aug 1179, bur Messina).

The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Margarita sorore Bosonis de Torenna" as wife of "Brunicendis filius Ademarus"[618]. Her parentage and first marriage are confirmed by the cartulary of Tulle St Martin which records a donation by "Ademarus vicecomes Lemovicensis et Aimericus de Gordo mariti duarum sororum Bosonis, Mangnæ et Margaritæ" dated 21 Dec 1143 made "pro anima Bosonis vicecomitis de Torenna qui gladio corruit" on the day of his burial, authorised by "Ebolus vicecomes de Ventedorn et Archambaldus vicecomes de Comborn", and made "in manu domni Ebali abbatis Tutellensis patrui ipsius Bosonis"[619].

His name is clarified in a later passage in the Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis which names "Bosonem qui postea, eo quod erat solus, Ademarus vocatus est" as the son of "Ademarus de Margareta filia Rainaldi de Torenna et Mathildis"[625]. "Ademarus filius Ademari vicecomitis" confirmed donations of property by his ancestors to Notre-Dame de Dalon by undated charter dated to [1148/99][626]. He succeeded his father in 1148 as Vicomte de Limoges.

- see below.

Vicomte Ademar [IV] had one [probably illegitimate child] by [an unknown mistress]:

b) HELIE de Bordel (-after Aug 1147). "Ademarus Lemovicensis vicecomes, nepos…Ademari vicecomitis" donated revenue from "ecclesiæ parrochiæ de Celom" to Uzerche by charter dated Aug 1147, signed by "Elias de Bordella filius meus, Siguinus de Turribus…"[627]. It is assumed that Hélie was illegitimate.

BOSON dit ADEMAR [V] de Limoges, son of ADEMAR [IV] Vicomte de Limoges & his wife Marguerite de Turenne (-murdered 1199). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Ademarum" as son of "Brunicendis filius Ademarus" and his wife "Margarita sorore Bosonis de Torenna"[628]. "Ademarus filius Ademari vicecomitis" confirmed donations of property by his ancestors to Notre-Dame de Dalon by undated charter dated to [1148/99][629]. He succeeded his father in 1148 as Vicomte de Limoges. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records that Henry II King of England granted "terram vicecomitis Ademari [Limoges]" to "Gaufredo de Novo-burgo…frater Rotrodis comes Perticæ, et Guillermo qui cognominabatur Pandolf" after this accession[630], presumably during the minority of Vicomte Boson Adémar [V] although the passage does not specify this. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records that "Guillermus filius Wlgrimi Comes Engolismensis, Ademarus Vicecomes Lemovicensis, Oliverius filius Gulpherii senioris de Turribus" were among those who left for Jerusalem in 1178[631]. "Ademarus Lemocicensis vicecomes" donated property rights in "Banac" to Notre-Dame de Dalon before leaving for Jerusalem, by charter dated 10 Jul 1179, witnessed by "Raimundus vicecomes Torenensis, Eblo vicecomes de Ventedorn…Eschivaz de Chabanes…"[632].

He was murdered allegedly by Philippe Seigneur de Cognac who considered Vicomte Ademar responsible for the death of his father Richard I King of England[637].

m ([1156]) SARAH of Cornwall, daughter of RENAUD [de Dunstanville] Earl of Cornwall & his wife Beatrice FitzWilliam (after [1141]-1216, bur Saint-Yrieux de la Perche). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records that Henry II King of England arranged the marriage of "Ademarum" and "consanguineam suam Sarram filiam Roberti Comitis de Glocestria"[638], although it is difficult chronologically for Sarah to have been the daughter of Earl Robert. Her paternity is clarified in a later passage of the Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis which records that Henry II King of England returned his territories to Adémar and arranged his marriage to "Sara una ex tribus filiabus Rainaldi Comitis de Cornouailla"[639]. The Chronicon Bernardi Iterii records the death in 1216 of "Sarra vicecomitissa"[640]. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records the death "anno 1216" of "Sara" and her burial "in festo S. Columbani…apud S. Aredium"[641].

Vicomte Ademar [V] & his wife had seven children:

1. ADEMAR (-1195). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Guidonem, Ademarum et Guillermum…Peregrinus…filiam Margaretam…Aquiliam…Humbergam…Mariam" as children of "Ademarum" and his wife "Sarram"[642]. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records that "Ademarus Vicecomes Lemovicensis adolescens…fecit Abbati Petro hominium solemniter in Capitulo", dated to [1165] from the context[643]. The Chronicon Bernardi Iterii records the death in 1195 of "Ademarus junior vicecomes Lemovicensis"[644]. On the assumption that the passage refers to a son of Ademar [V], it most likely that Ademar was his oldest son who was installed as joint Vicomte during the lifetime of his father.

2. GUY [V] (-Avignon 29 Mar 1230, bur Limoges Saint-Marcial). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Guidonem, Ademarum et Guillermum…Peregrinus…filiam Margaretam…Aquiliam…Humbergam…Mariam" as children of "Ademarum" and his wife "Sarram"[645]. "Guido filius Ademari vicecomitis" confirmed the donation by "Ademarus Lemocicensis vicecomes" of property rights in "Banac" to Notre-Dame de Dalon before leaving for Jerusalem, by charter dated [after 10 Jul 1179][646]. "Ademarus vicecomes Lemovicensis cum filiis suis" prohibited a construction at Uzerche monastery by charter dated 1187, witnessed by "Guido filius vicecomitis…"[647]. "Ademarus vicecomes Lemovicensis…et Guido filius eius" witnessed a charter dated 1192 under which "Guido Archambaudi de Felitio" donated property to Notre-Dame de Dalon[648]. Vicomte de Limoges.

The Majus Chronicon Lemovicense records the death in 1230 of "Guido vicecomes Lemovicensis" and his burial "in capella Sancti Martialis Lemovicensis"[651]. m firstly --- d'Auvergne, daughter of ROBERT [IV] Comte d'Auvergne & his wife Mathilde de Bourgogne [Capet] (-1210). The Chronicon Bernardi Iterii records the death in 1210 of "uxor Guidonis comitis Lemovicensis, que fuit soror comitis Arvernorum"[652]. m secondly ERMENGARDE de Barry, daughter of --- (-[20 Aug] [1263]). "Gui vicomte de Limoges" confirmed his previous donations to Notre-Dame de Dalon and those of "sa…mère Ermenjart", and adds a donation for the soul of "sa sœur Marie", by charter dated 29 Jul 1249[653]. The primary source which confirms her origin and marriage has not yet been identified. The necrology of Saint-Martial records the death “XIII Kal Sep” of “vicecomitissa mater Guidonis”[654]. The editor of the compilation consulted suggests that this entry refers to the mother of Vicomte Guy [VI] but gives no indication why it could not apply to any of the other vicomtes de Limoges named Guy. Vicomte Guy [V] & his first wife had one child:

a) ADEMAR (--1223). The Chronicon Bernardi Iterii records the death in 1223 of "Ademarus vicecomes junior", in a later passage naming him "Ademarus unigenitus filius Guidonis vicecomitis Lemovicensis"[655].

Vicomte de Limoges. “Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart, Aimery son fils, et Marguerite femme dudit fils” reached agreement with “Guy vicomte de Limoges” to abandon “audit vicomte de Limoges les domaines de Gorre, Oradour, Cussac, Cuffares, le droit en la forêt de Treus, la moitié du domaine de Marval” by charter 3 Apr 1242[657]. "Gui vicomte de Limoges" confirmed his previous donations to Notre-Dame de Dalon and those of "sa…mère Ermenjart", and adds a donation for the soul of "sa sœur Marie", by charter dated 29 Jul 1249[658]. The Brevissimum Chronicon of Saint-Marcial records the death in 1263 of "Guido vicecomes Lemovicensis"[659]. The Majus Chronicon Lemovicense records the death "Id Aug" in 1263 of "vicecomes...apud Brantome" during the siege of the place[660]. m firstly --- de Blazon, daughter of THIERRY de Blazon Seneschal de Poitou & his wife --- (-before 1258). The Majus Chronicon Lemovicense records in 1143 that "vicecomitissa Lemovicensis, filia Tilberi de Blason, quæ dicebatur consanguinea Reginæ Franciæ", being childless by her husband, faked a pregnancy and took a child of "filiam cujusdam coloni Parochiani de Bessenhac", but the vicomte imprisoned her on suspicion of adultery, the truth being revealed after a supposed collaborator in concealing the adultery was burned alive “apud Hahen“ whereupon the vicomtesse was released on the intervention “per Reginam“[661]. Roblin highlights two 17th century transcriptions of the same source which specify what appears to be the correct date of 1243, indicating that the "vicecomitissa Lemovicensis" in question must have been the wife of Vicomte Guy [VI][662]. He also highlights that the revised date is corroborated by the appearance in [1230] of Thibaud de Blaizon, sénéchal de Poitou, who received hommage from various dignitaries in Limousin in the name of the French king. m secondly (1258) as her second husband, MARGUERITE de Bourgogne, widow of GUILLAUME [III] Seigneur de Mont-Saint-Jean, daughter of HUGUES IV Duke of Burgundy & his first wife Yolande de Dreux (-27 Aug 1277). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Margarita filia Ducis Burgundiæ" as wife of "Guidonem Probem"[663]. An anonymous Chronicon of Saint-Marcial records that "Margarita filia ducis Burgundie et vicecomitissa Lemovicensis" subjugated the castle of Limoges in 1274[664]. Dame de Molinot, by grant of her father as dowry, in return for her first husband transferring his rights to Vergy to her father. Her subjects at Molinot rebelled against her in 1265, her father helping her to crush the revolt[665]. A fragment written by Bernard Guidonis records that "domina Margarita vicecomitissa Lemovicensis, filia ducis Burgundiæ, relicta...domini Guidonis vicecomitis Lemovicensis" founded the monastery "locum Sancti Pardulphi in Petragoricensi diœcesi, in confinio Lemovicensi"[666]. An anonymous Chronicon of Saint-Marcial records the death "mense Augusti die Veneris pos festum beati Bartholomei" of "Margarita vicecomitissa Lemovicensis"[667]. Vicomte Guy [VI] & his first wife had one child:

i) MARGUERITE (after 1243-[Jul 1252/Aug 1263]). Her parentage is confirmed by the testament of [her paternal aunt] “la vicomtesse Marguerite”, dated Jul 1252, which made a bequest to "Marguerite sa nièce, fille de Guy son frère pour la faire religieuse"[668]. She was presumably born after the episode of her mother´s fake pregnancy, recounted above, and died before her father.

Vicomte Guy [VI] & his second wife had one child:

ii) MARIE ([1260]-1292). The Majus Chronicon Lemovicense records that "unicam filiam" was only three years old when her father died in 1263[669]. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Mariam unicam hæredem" as daughter of "Guidonem Probem" and his wife "Margarita filia Ducis Burgundiæ", recording that she was betrothed to "Ludovicus Rex Francorum filio suo Roberto" in 1270[670]. The Majus Chronicon Lemovicense records the birth in 1256 of "Robertus filius Ludovici...regis" and his betrothal to "filia vicecomitis Lemovicensis"[671]. A charter dated 17 Jun 1273 records the obligation of "Jahan duc de Bretangne" to pay "la vicontaisse de Limoges" for the marriage of "Artur nostre nevou" and "Marie la fille à ladite vicontesse"[672]. An anonymous Chronicon of Saint-Marcial records the marriage in 1275 of "Arturus filius comitis Britannie" and "Mariam filiam vicecomitisse Lemovicensis" at Tours[673]. The Majus Chronicon Lemovicense records the marriage "in crastinum beatæ Mariæ Magdalenæ" in 1275 of "Maria heres vicecomitatus Lemovicensis, neptis ducis Burgundiæ" and "Arturo herede Britanniæ, nepote regis Angliæ"[674]. Vicomtesse de Limoges. Betrothed (1270) to ROBERT de France Comte de Clermont, son of LOUIS IX King of France & his wife Marguerite de Provence (1256-7 Feb 1317, bur Paris, église des Jacobins). m (Betrothed 17 Jun 1273, Papal dispensation 24 Nov 1275, Tours 1277) as his first wife, ARTHUR de Bretagne, son of JEAN II Duke of Brittany & his wife Beatrix of England (1262-Château de l'Isle 1312, bur Vannes). He succeeded as Vicomte de Limoges, de iure uxoris. He succeeded in 1305 as ARTHUR II Duke of Brittany. See the document BRITTANY for their descendants, the later Vicomtes de Limoges who were also Comtes de Penthièvre.

c) MARGUERITE (-9 Sep 1259, bur Châtenet). “Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart, Aimery son fils, et Marguerite femme du dit fils” reached agreement with “Guy vicomte de Limoges” to abandon “au dit vicomte de Limoges les domaines de Gorre, Oradour, Cussac, Cuffares, le droit en la forêt de Treus, la moitié du domaine de Maraval” by charter 3 Apr 1242[675]. The testament of “la vicomtesse Marguerite”, dated Jul 1252, chose her burial "en la chapelle du Châtenet, au tombeau de feu son mary", bequeathed "trente livres de rente à Guillaume de Rochechouart son fils sur la terre qu´elle reçut en dot dans la vicomté de Limoges, avec la vigne qu´elle avoit acquise d´Adhémar de Maumont chevalier…à son déffaut à Guy de Rochechouart son fils et en outre…avec une coupe d´argent doré qui luy seroit donnée lorsqu´il sera armé chevalier", to "Adhémar de Rochechouart son fils cinquante livres de rente à prendre sur celle de cent livres que luy avoit donnée le comte de Poitiers", ordered that "Guy, Adhémar et Simon ses fils soient substitués les uns aux autres, en cas de mort sans hoirs", bequeathed "à Foucaud son autre fils, cinquante livres sur les biens de Cussac…dès qu´il aura atteint l´âge de seize ans", her lands "qu´elle avoit eues de ses père et mère à Aimery son fils aîné", made a bequest to "Marguerite sa nièce, fille de Guy son frère pour la faire religieuse", and named as executors "Guy de la Roche son gendre…son seigneur le vicomte de Limoges son frère…"[676]. An epitaph in the church of Saint-Yrieix records the death “in die Sancti Aredii” of “Aimericus de Rupe-Cavardo, maritus Margaritæ, filiæ Guidonis vicecomitis Lemovicensis” and the death 9 Sep 1259 of “Margarita”[677]. m AIMERY [VIII] Vicomte de Rochechouart , son of AIMERY [VII] Vicomte de Rochechouart & his wife Alix de Mortemart (-25 Aug 1245, bur Châtenet).

d) MARIE (-before 1255). "Gui vicomte de Limoges" confirmed his previous donations to Notre-Dame de Dalon and those of "sa…mère Ermenjart", and adds a donation for the soul of "sa sœur Marie", by charter dated 29 Jul 1249[678]. An anonymous Chronicon of Saint-Marcial records that "Maria, sorore Guidonis, vicecomitis Lemovicensis" married "Archambladus vicecomes Comborum", when recording the death of the latter in 1277 and the succession of "Guido primogenitus suus", commenting that Guy married firstly "Amissiam filiam Echivati de Cabanisio" during the lifetime of his father and after her death "Almodiam filiam Gaufredi de Thouvaz"[679]. m as his first wife, ARCHAMBAUD [VII] Vicomte de Comborn, son of BERNARD [II] Vicomte de Comborn & his wife Marguerite de Turenne (-1277).

3. MARGUERITE (after [1156]-). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Guidonem, Ademarum et Guillermum…Peregrinus…filiam Margaretam…Aquiliam…Humbergam…Mariam" as children of "Ademarum" and his wife "Sarram", specifying that Marguerite married "filio Aimerici de Rupecavardi" and afterwards "filio Audeberti Petragorici comitis"[680]. It is not possible to identify the "Audeberti Petragorici comitis", the only known counts of this name having existed at an earlier period. This is somewhat surprising as the Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis appears generally to be accurate in its genealogical details. The correct identity of her second husband as Hélie [VII] Comte de Périgord is suggested by the charter dated [1228/29] under which "Archambauz coms de Peregurs fils n'El Talairan et neps al vescomte de Lemotges" donated property "lo moli Sancti Martialis que Peir Vegers tenia" to Notre-Dame de Chancelade[681]. From a chronological point of view, this appears to be the best solution from among the comtes de Périgord who are known from other primary sources. However, it should be emphasised that the issue is not without doubt, firstly in light of the usual confusion about the translation of the word "neps/nepos", secondly because the vicomte de Limoges in question is not named, and thirdly because there remains the possibility that another "Audebert" in the Périgord family also bore the title "comte", unrecorded in other sources so far identified (see for example Audebert, son of Boson [IV] Comte de Périgord). The name of the first husband of Marguerite de Limoges is not known. From a chronological point of view, it is probable that he was the son of Aimery [V], assuming that the report in the Chronicle of Geoffroy de Vigeois about Marguerite's first marriage is accurate. It is possible that he was the same person as Aimery [VI], son and successor of Aimery [V], but only assuming that the marriage was dissolved as Aimery [VI] is recorded elsewhere with another named wife. m firstly --- de Rochechouart, son of AIMERY [Vicomte] de Rochechouart & his wife ---. m secondly (before [1180/85]) [HELIE [VII] TALAIRAND Comte de Périgord, son of HELIE [VI] TALAIRAND Comte de Périgord & his wife Raymonde de Turenne-Ribérac ([1155/60]-before 1211).]

4. AIGLINE . The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Guidonem, Ademarum et Guillermum…Peregrinus…filiam Margaretam…Aquiliam…Humbergam…Mariam" as children of "Ademarum" and his wife "Sarram", specifying that Aigline married "filio Guillermi de Gordon"[682]. m --- de Gourdon, son of GUILLAUME de Gourdon & his wife ---.

5. HUMBERGE de Limoges . The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Guidonem, Ademarum et Guillermum…Peregrinus…filiam Margaretam…Aquiliam…Humbergam…Mariam" as children of "Ademarum" and his wife "Sarram", specifying that Humberge married "Gaufredo de Lesigniaco"[683]. The chronology of Humberge´s life is difficult to determine. However, considering the dates of her parents and the other members of this family, it appears unlikely that she was born later than [1160/80]. This would suggest that she must have been the first wife of her husband and died before 1200 when he is named in a charter with another wife. m as his [first] wife, GEOFFROY de Lusignan Seigneur de Vouvent, son of HUGUES [VIII] "le Brun" Sire de Lusignan & his wife Bourgogne de Rancon (-1216).

6. MARIE . The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Guidonem, Ademarum et Guillermum…Peregrinus…filiam Margaretam…Aquiliam…Humbergam…Mariam" as children of "Ademarum" and his wife "Sarram", specifying that Marie married "Ebolo filio Eboli de Sybilla filia Radulfi de Faya"[684]. Another passage in the Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Ademarus Vicecomes Lemovicensis filiam…Mariam" as wife of "Ebolus", commenting that she died childless[685]. m ([1190/95]) as his first wife, EBLES [V] Vicomte de Ventadour, son of EBLES [IV] dit ARCHAMBAUD Vicomte de Ventadour & his wife Sibylle de Faye ([1171/75]-1236 or after).

7. GUILLAUME "le Pèlerin" ([1179]-1223). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Guidonem, Ademarum et Guillermum…Peregrinus…filiam Margaretam…Aquiliam…Humbergam…Mariam" as children of "Ademarum" and his wife "Sarram", explaining that Guillaume received his nickname because he was born on the day his father set out on pilgrimage to Jerusalem[686]. The Chronicon Bernardi Iterii records the death in 1223 of "Ademarus vicecomes junior, W. avunculus ipsius", in a later passage naming him "W quondam decanus S. Aredii, frater Guidonis vicecomitis Lemovicensis" and recording his death "octava die Pentecostes"[687].

Chapter 7. SEIGNEURS de PIERRE-BUFFIERE

Pierre-Buffière is located south-east of Limoges. The family of the seigneurs de Pierre-Buffière is difficult to reconstruct because of the repetitive use of the names Gaucelin and Pierre. It is assumed that some of these individuals, shown separately below, could be consolidated. However, insufficient primary sources have been identified to enable the process to be achieved with confidence. It is likely that the three individuals, named as first ancestors of the first three family sub-groups, were brothers, but this cannot be proved.

1. AIMERY de Pierre-Buffière (-after [1000]). "Aimericus de Peirabufeira...cum uxore" donated “redditus in manso Boni, Sancti Preiecti de Ligora” to Uzerche by charter dated to [1000], witnessed by “Auduinus filius eius”[738]. m ---.

Chapter 8. VICOMTES de ROCHECHOUART

The town and castle of Rochechouart are situated due west of Limoges. The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records that Guillaume II Duke of Aquitaine granted "vicecomitatum Mellensem et Oenacensem et Rocacardensem honoremque Cabannensem et Confolentis, Roffiacum" to Guillaume [II] Comte d´Angoulême, presumably dated to the 940s[787]. No record has been found at that time of any named vicomte at Rochechouart. The first recorded vicomte was Aimery “Ostofrancus”, one of the sons of Gérard Vicomte de Limoges, although no information has been found to explain how Rochechouart was transferred from the suzerainty of the comtes d´Angoulême to the vicomtes de Limoges. It is possible that the castle formed part of the territories inherited from Aimery´s mother or that it was part of the dowry Aimery which received with his wife, in which case one of these ladies may have been descended from Guillaume [II] Comte d´Angoulême.

A detailed history of the Rochechouart family was written in the mid-19th century by General Louis-Victor-Léon de Rochechouart[788]. The General is thorough in citing and quoting primary sources, although some of his conclusions are incompatible with other primary source data which has been examined during the compilation of the present document. Among the documents consulted by the General are the collection of extracts from the archives of the château de Rochechouart made by Dom Villevieille in 1785[789]. It seems that many of the original archive documents no longer exist so this collection represents all that remains of the information in question.

Early 18th century secondary sources show a continuous succession of vicomtes de Rochechouart, father to son, between 1019 and the mid-13th century, all the holders of the title being named Aimery. As will be seen below, the primary sources found so far do not support this descent. In particular, no sources have been found which confirm the parentage of Aimery [V], [VI] and [VII], while one source has been identified which suggests that Aimery [VI] only had daughters. Pending the emergence of other primary source material, the line has been “deconstructed” to emphasise the absence of proof.

AIMERY "Ostofrancus" de Limoges, son of GERARD Vicomte de Limoges & his wife Rothilde --- (-[Mar/Aug] 1019). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "duo Pontificatum Lemovicensem adepti…Ildegarius et Alduinus, alter Guido…qui Tursturiacensem Abbatiam construxisse narrator, Aimericus de Rupecavardi…Ostofrancus, et Geraldus de Argentonio, Gaufredus…Abbas S. Marcialis" as the children of "Gerardus"[790]. "Aimericus Ostifrancs" donated half the church at "Nioll" to Uzerche, for the souls of "patris mei Geraldi et matris meæ…Rotildis", by charter dated Mar 1019, signed by "Ava uxoris suæ, Aimerici filii sui, Geraldi fratris eius…"[791]. The date of his death is suggested by the document dated Aug 1019 in which his wife and two sons are apparently named (see below).

m AVA, daughter of --- (-after Mar 1019). "Aimericus Ostifrancs" donated half the church at "Nioll" to Uzerche, for the souls of "patris mei Geraldi et matris meæ…Rotildis", by charter dated Mar 1019, signed by "Ava uxoris suæ, Aimerici filii sui, Geraldi fratris eius…"[792]. "…Rotildis, Aimerici filii sui, Fulchaldi de Rocha, Guidonis filii sui, Ademari fratris eius, Ava filiæ, Aimerici filii sui, Geraldi" signed the charter dated Aug 1019 under which "Guido et uxor mea Emma…et filii nostri Geraldus, Ademarus, Petrus" donated "ecclesiam…Sancti Bibiano…a Nioli" to Uzerche[793]. "…Ava filiæ, Aimerici filii sui, Geraldi" in the list of subscribers appears to refer to the wife of Aimery [I] de Rochechouart and her two sons. The word "filiæ" is not referred to any other word, indicating an omission or a mistranscription. A footnote in the compilation consulted quotes another copy of the same document which names "Ava femina"[794]. If this identification is correct, Ava´s husband must presumably have predeceased the document.

Aimery [I] & his wife had [three] children:

1. AIMERY [II] de Rochechouart (-murdered [1049/50]). "Aimericus Ostifrancs" donated half the church at "Nioll" to Uzerche, for the souls of "patris mei Geraldi et matris meæ…Rotildis", by charter dated Mar 1019, signed by "Ava uxoris suæ, Aimerici filii sui, Geraldi fratris eius…"[795]. "…Ava filiæ, Aimerici filii sui, Geraldi" signed the charter dated Aug 1019 under which "Guido et uxor mea Emma…et filii nostri Geraldus, Ademarus, Petrus" donated "ecclesiam…Sancti Bibiano…a Nioli" to Uzerche[796]. “Aimerici de Roca Coart...” witnessed the charter dated 1027 under which “Tesalga” donated “æcclesiam de Buxolio” to Limoges Saint-Etienne[797]. "Aimericus et frater meus Geraldus et uxor mea Ermesindis" donated half the church at "Nioll" to Uzerche, for the soul of "patris nostri Aimerici", by charter dated to [1030/50][798]. An undated charter records confirmations made to Uzerche by "Aimiricus de Rocachaart vicecomes" and adds that, after his donation of "sylvam Despinaciosa", he was killed ("subita gladii morte") by an unknown enemy (“nescio a quo suo inimico”)[799]. Général de Rochechouart dates his death to [1049/50], supposedly based on the dating of the charter dated to [1049/75] which is quoted below[800]. m ERMESENDE, daughter of [FOUCAUD Seigneur de Champagnac & his wife ---]. "Aimericus et frater meus Geraldus et uxor mea Ermesindis" donated half the church at "Nioll" to Uzerche, for the soul of "patris nostri Aimerici", by charter dated to [1030/50][801]. Général de Rochechouart states that Aimery [II] married “Ermesinde, fille et unique et héritière de Foucaud, seigneur de Champagnac” but he does not cite the primary source on which this statement is based[802]. Presumably this is based on Le Laboureur who names “Ermessinde...fille de Foucaut S. de Champagnac” as the wife of Vicomte Aimery [II] without citing any primary source[803]. The statement may be speculative based on the couple´s second son Hildegaire being named "Ildegarius de Champania" in a charter of Uzerche dated to [1085][804]. Until more data emerges, Ermesende´s supposed parentage is shown here in square brackets. Aimery [II] & his wife had [four] children:

a) AIMERY [III] (-[before 1091]). A charter dated to [1049/75] records that, after the death of "Aimirici de Rochachavard", "filius eius Aimiricus de Rochacavart" succeeded to "honorem patris sui" and confirmed the donation of the church at "Nioll" to Uzerche by "Aimiricus Ostafrancs et Guido atque Tisalga, Aldiardis, Calva quoque soror eorum" for the souls of "patris sui G. vicecomitis et Rotildis vicecomitissæ matris eorum"[805]. “Aimericus de Rocoardo filius Ermesinde” agreed with “Icterio episcopo et Amelio præposito pro monasterium Sancti Juniani” to relinquish claims to “burgo Sancti Juniani”, except for those acquired by “Aimericus suus avus cum Auduino fratri suo episcopo”, by charter dated to [1060][806].

b) HILDEGAIRE (-1100 or after). "Ildegarius de Champania et uxor mea Arsendis…et filii mei Per. et Aimiricus" donated a wood "Fagia" between "ecclesiam Niolii et ecclesiam Soels" to Uzerche by charter dated to [1085][807]. Vicomte [de Champagnac]. "Ildegarius vicecomes filius Aimirici de Rochachavard" confirmed donations of "ecclesia de Nioll et curte de Tollans…et villam de Spinaciosa" to Uzerche by charter dated to [1091], which mentions past donations by "frater suus Aimiricus de Rochecavard"[808]. m ARSENDE, daughter of --- (-after [1085]). "Ildegarius de Champania et uxor mea Arsendis…et filii mei Per. et Aimiricus" donated a wood "Fagia" between "ecclesiam Niolii et ecclesiam Soels" to Uzerche by charter dated 1085[809]. Hildegaire & his wife had two children:

i) PIERRE (-after [1085]). "Ildegarius de Champania et uxor mea Arsendis…et filii mei Per. et Aimiricus" donated a wood "Fagia" between "ecclesiam Niolii et ecclesiam Soels" to Uzerche by charter dated 1085[810].

c) ROTBURGE (-1099 or after). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Rotberga sorore Vicecomitis de Rupecavardi" as wife of "Archimbaldus qui vindicavit patrem et occidit fratrem"[812]. "Archambaldi vicecomitis" claimed a serf from Uzerche by charter dated to [1003/36], signed by "Eboli fratris sui, Rotberti fratris sui, Rotbergæ uxoris eius, Archambaldi filii sui…"[813]. The cartulary of Tulle St Martin records a donation by "Archambaldus et frater meus Ebalus et mater nostra Rotberga" made "pro anima patris nostri Archambaldi qui gladio corruit in die sepultaræ eius" dated Feb [1059] subscribed by "vicecomitum de Comborn Archambaldi, Ebali et Bernardi et Rotberganæ matre eorum"[814]. "Vicecomes Arcambaldus" donated "ecclesiam de Maismac" to Uzerche, with the consent of "mater mea Rotberga et Ermengardis uxor quondam mea, fraterque meus Bernardus et filius meus Ebolus" but excluding "frater meus Ebolus" who withheld his consent, by charter dated 3 Feb 1085[815]. The cartulary of Tulle St Martin records a donation by "Rotberga vicecomitissa" dated 1088 which also names "filio suo Bernardo"[816]. The cartulary of Tulle St Martin records a donation by "Rotberga vicecomitissa" dated 1099 which also names "Bernardus vicecomes filius suus" and "filiis suis Ebalo et Bernardo"[817]. m (before [1030]) ARCHAMBAUD [II] Vicomte de Comborn, son of EBLES [I] Vicomte de Turenne & his [first/second] wife [Beatrix de Normandie/Petronille ---] (-killed in battle Feb ----, before 1038).

d) daughter . Her parentage and marriage are indicated by the charter of her two sons dated 13 Oct 1120, see below. Her husband´s name may have been Bernard, assuming that her sons both used this name as a patronymic. m [BERNARD] de Seirac, son of ---. [Bernard] & his wife had two children:

i) PIERRE Bernard de Seirac (-after 13 Oct 1120). "Petrus Bernardi de Seirac nepos Aldegarii de Champania" donated his part of "Spinasoza vel in curte de Nioll" earlier donated by "Aimericus de Rochechavard et Aldegarius de Champania" by charter dated 13 Oct 1120, witnessed by "Aimiricus Bernardi frater eius ad Orador Charrofense"[818].

"…Ava filiæ, Aimerici filii sui, Geraldi" signed the charter dated Aug 1019 under which "Guido et uxor mea Emma…et filii nostri Geraldus, Ademarus, Petrus" donated "ecclesiam…Sancti Bibiano…a Nioli" to Uzerche[821]. "Aimericus et frater meus Geraldus et uxor mea Ermesindis" donated half the church at "Nioll" to Uzerche, for the soul of "patris nostri Aimerici", by charter dated to [1030/50][822].

3. [--- . m ---.] [One child]:

a) [BERNARD "Venator" (-1066). The charter dated to [1049/75], which records the confirmation by "Aimiricus de Rochacavart" of his grandfather´s donation of the church at "Nioll" to Uzerche, also records that "Bernardus Venator" requested "seniorem suum Aimiricum della Rocachavard" to intervene with the abbey to allow him concessions relating to the property[823]. Charters dated 1066 and 1075 record that, after the death of "Bernardi Venatoris", disputes arose concerning the property involving "uxor eius…Petronilla", the later document naming "avi sui Aimirici Ostafranc"[824]. It is unclear from the text of this document whether "avi sui" is intended to refer to Bernard Venator, to his wife, or even to Aimery [III] de Rochechouart who is not named in the document but is named in earlier documents in the same series. m PETRONILLE, daughter of --- (-after 1075). Charters dated 1066 and 1075 record that, after the death of "Bernardi Venatoris", disputes arose concerning the property involving "uxor eius…Petronilla", the later document naming "avi sui Aimirici Ostafranc"[825].]

AIMERY [III] de Rochechouart, son of AIMERY [II] Vicomte de Rochechouart & his wife Ermesende [de Chapagnac] (-[before 1091]). A charter dated to [1049/75] records that, after the death of "Aimirici de Rochachavard", "filius eius Aimiricus de Rochacavart" succeeded to "honorem patris sui" and confirmed the donation of the church at "Nioll" to Uzerche by "Aimiricus Ostafrancs et Guido atque Tisalga, Aldiardis, Calva quoque soror eorum" for the souls of "patris sui G. vicecomitis et Rotildis vicecomitissæ matris eorum"[826]. An undated document records a war between "Aymericus de Roca-Coardo filius Ermesendis" and “N. episcop Lemovicen”, dated to [1056/59][827]. “Aimericus de Rocoardo filius Ermesinde” agreed with “Icterio episcopo et Amelio præposito pro monasterium Sancti Juniani” to relinquish claims to “burgo Sancti Juniani”, except for those acquired by “Aimericus suus avus cum Auduino fratri suo episcopo”, by charter dated to [1060][828]. “Aimericus de Rocacauart” donated grain from “molendino sancti Laurentii” and property “in manso Vertaguario” to Limoges Saint-Etienne by charter dated to [1080] which records a similar donation by “Aimericus de Petra Buferia”[829]. "Ildegarius vicecomes filius Aimirici de Rochachavard" confirmed donations of "ecclesia de Nioll et curte de Tollans…et villam de Spinaciosa" to Uzerche by charter dated to [1091], which mentions past donations by "frater suus Aimiricus de Rochecavard"[830]. The document implies that Aimery was deceased at the time but does not state this explicitly.

m ALPAIS [de Salagnac], daughter of ---. "Uxor ipsius Aimirici Aalpaiz, Agnes, Valencia…" witnessed the charter dated 1069 relating to the church at "Nioll"[831]. General de Rochechouart quotes a letter from “un sieur Bandel à M. Duchesne” which quotes an extract "des titres de l´abbaye de Saint-Barthélemy" which records “Alpaidis de Roca-cavard, Aymericus filius eius...” as witnesses to an undated charter[832]. "Audebertus de Rocacavardi, Aimericus filius eius…Ascelina comitissa…Alpaidis mater ipsius Audiberti" are named in a charter dated 5 Apr 1122 of Saint-Barthélemi de Bénévent[833], As pointed out in the document ANGOULEME LA MARCHE PERIGORD, it is possible that "Ascelina comitissa" was the widow of Audebert [II] Comte de Périgord, elsewhere recorded as "Asceline de Salagnac". If this is correct, Alpais may have been her sister.

Aimery [III] & his wife had [six] children:

1. AIMERY [IV] (-1120 or after). General de Rochechouart quotes a letter from “un sieur Bandel à M. Duchesne” which quotes an extract "des titres de l´abbaye de Saint-Barthélemy" which records “Alpaidis de Roca-cavard, Aymericus filius eius...” as witnesses to an undated charter[834], which suggests that Aimery [IV] outlived his father. Père Anselme names Aimery as the oldest son of Vicomte Aimery [III] and adds that he “fit le voyage de la Terre-Sainte en 1096”, but cites no primary source on which the information is based[835]. Le Laboureur also records that Aimery [IV] “fit le voyage de la Terre-Sainte en 1096 et vivoit encore l´an 1120” but cites no primary source either[836]. Lacépède names “...Aimeri IV vicomte de Rochechouart...” in his list of participants in the First Crusade without citing any primary sources[837]. Aimery´s name has not been found in any of the usual sources which record the events of the First Crusade. Père Anselme states that Aimery [IV] “vivoit encore en 1120”, but cites no primary source[838].

2. [AGNES (-after 1069). "Uxor ipsius Aimirici Aalpaiz, Agnes, Valencia…" witnessed the charter dated 1069 relating to the church at "Nioll"[839]. The relationship between "…Agnes, Valencia…" and Aimery is not specified. It is possible that they were his daughters but this is not beyond doubt, especially as Aimery´s supposed sons are not among the signatories.]

3. [VALENCE (-after 1069). "Uxor ipsius Aimirici Aalpaiz, Agnes, Valencia…" witnessed the charter dated 1069 relating to the church at "Nioll"[840]. The relationship between "…Agnes, Valencia…" and Aimery is not specified. It is possible that they were his daughters but this is not beyond doubt, especially as Aimery´s supposed sons are not among the signatories.]

4. AUDEBERT (-after 5 Apr 1122). General de Rochechouart quotes a letter from “un sieur Bandel à M. Duchesne” which quotes an extract "des titres de l´abbaye de Saint-Barthélemy" which records a donation dated 1122 by “Audobertus de Rocacavardi...cum Ascolina vice-comitissa de Salaniaco, alias filius ---”[841]. "Audebertus de Rocacavardo, Aimericus filius eius…Ascelina comitissa…Alpaidis mater ipsius Audiberti" are named in a charter dated 5 Apr 1122 of Saint-Barthélemi de Bénévent[842]. m ALMODIS, daughter of ---. Audebert & his wife had one child:

a) AIMERY (-after 5 Apr 1122). "Audebertus de Rocacavardo, Aimericus filius eius…Ascelina comitissa…Alpaidis mater ipsius Audiberti" are named in a charter dated 5 Apr 1122 of Saint-Barthélemi de Bénévent[843].

5. [BOSON (-1108 or after). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Père Anselme names “Boson de Rochechouart seigneur de la Salle” as third son of Aimery [III] but cites no primary source on which the information is based[844]. Seigneur de la Salle.]

6. [MAURICE (-1105 or after). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Père Anselme names “Maurice de Rochechouart, mentionné dans un titre de 1105” as fourth son of Aimery [III] but gives no citation reference for the charter in question[845].]

1. [AIMERY [V] de Rochechouart (-[after 1141]). Père Anselme names Aimery [V] “vivant en 1141” as the son of Vicomte Aimery [IV], but cites no primary source on which the information is based[846]. He is also named, and his supposed parentage given, by Le Laboureur without citing any primary sources[847]. No primary source has been found in which Aimery [V] is named. Until some corroboration comes to light, he is included in the present document in square brackets indicating some doubt about his existence.]

1. AIMERY de Rochechouart . No information has been found concerning this Aimery de Rochechouart, except the reference in the Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis which names him as the father of the unnamed first husband of Marguerite de Limoges (see below). From a chronological point of view, it would be possible that he was the same person as the shadowy Aimery [V] who is named above. m ---. The name of Aimery´s wife is not known. Aimery & his wife had one child:

a) --- de Rochechouart (-before [1180/85]). The name of the first husband of Marguerite de Limoges is not known. It is possible that he was the same person as Aimery [VI], son and successor of Aimery [V], but only assuming that the marriage was dissolved. m as her first husband, MARGUERITE de Limoges, daughter of ADEMAR [V] Vicomte de Limoges & his wife Sarah of Cornwall (after [1156]-). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Guidonem, Ademarum et Guillermum…Peregrinus…filiam Margaretam…Aquiliam…Humbergam…Mariam" as children of "Ademarum" and his wife "Sarram", specifying that Marguerite married "filio Aimerici de Rupecavardi" and afterwards "filio Audeberti Petragorici comitis"[848]. Marguerite married secondly (before [1180/85]) [Hélie [VII] Talairand Comte de Périgord.] The identity of her second husband as Hélie [VII] Comte de Périgord is suggested by the charter dated [1228/29] under which "Archambauz coms de Peregurs fils n'El Talairan et neps al vescomte de Lemotges" donated property "lo moli Sancti Martialis que Peir Vegers tenia" to Notre-Dame de Chancelade[849]. From a chronological point of view, this appears to be the best solution from among the comtes de Périgord who are known from other primary sources. However, it should be emphasised that the issue is not without doubt, firstly in light of the usual confusion about the translation of the word "neps/nepos", secondly because the vicomte de Limoges in question is not named, and thirdly because there remains the possibility that another "Audebert" in the Périgord family also bore the title "comte", unrecorded in other sources so far identified (see for example Audebert, son of Boson [IV] Comte de Périgord).

Three or more brothers:

1. AIMERY [VI] (-after 3 Aug 1214). No primary source has been found which confirms the parentage of Aimery [VI]. Vicomte de Rochechouart. "Rochechouard (Aymericus de) et ses frères et tous les autres seigneurs de Montrogno" renounced rights "sur l´étang, la pêche et le moulin d´Ambazac, qui appartiennent au monastère de Saint-Antoine d´Ambazac" dated 1191[850]. King John granted "custodia terre et heredis Americi de Rupe Choard" to "Jord de Chabanes", who was granted the right to marry "xx annos…maiorem eiusdem heredis" by charter dated 30 Aug 1200[851]. "Rochechouard (Aimery de)" subscribed a charter dated to [1204] which records that "Pierre de Montrobé" donated "rente...sur le péage de la Roche" to the abbey of Merci-Dieu[852]. Père Anselme names Aimery [VI] as the son of Aimery [V], adding that he founded in 1205 “le prieuré de Trésens” and was “homme-lige du roi en 1226”, but cites no primary source on which the information is based[853]. Le Laboureur records that Aimery [VI] “fonda l´an 1205 avec son fils le Prieuré de Trezens Ordre de Grammont” but cites no primary source either[854], although the reference to his supposed son contradicts the indication in the source dated 30 Aug 1200 that Aimery [VI] only had daughters. King John issued an order to "Aymericus de Rupe Chiward Jordanus et Chiwardus de Chabbenes" dated 3 Aug 1214[855]. "…A de Rupe Eschiward…" witnessed the charter dated 29 Sep 1214 under which King John confirmed the proposed marriage of "Johannam filiam suam genitam de Ysabell uxore sua, filia com Engolism" to "Hugonis de Lysuinan fil H com Marchie"[856]. m [LUCIE Dame de Perusse, daughter of ---. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. Père Anselme names “Luce dame de Perrusse” as the wife of Aimery [VI], but cites no primary source on which the information is based[857].] Aimery [VI] & his wife had [two or more] children:

a) daughter ([1180]-). King John granted "custodia terre et heredis Americi de Rupe Choard" to "Jord de Chabanes", who was granted the right to marry "xx annos…maiorem eiusdem heredis" by charter dated 30 Aug 1200[858]. It is not known if the marriage went ahead. [m JOURDAIN de Chabanais, son of ---.]

b) daughter(s) . The charter dated 30 Aug 1200, under whcih King John granted "custodia terre et heredis Americi de Rupe Choard" to "Jord de Chabanes" together with the right to marry "xx annos…maiorem eiusdem heredis"[859], suggests that the proposed bride had a younger sister or sisters.

2. sons (-after 1191). "Rochechouard (Aymericus de) et ses frères et tous les autres seigneurs de Montrogno" renounced rights "sur l´étang, la pêche et le moulin d´Ambazac, qui appartiennent au monastère de Saint-Antoine d´Ambazac" dated 1191[860].

The precise relationship between the following family group and the main Rochechouart family has not been ascertained, but the unnamed father of A--- de Rochechouart could have been one of the unnamed brothers of Aimery [VI] Vicomte de Rochechouart who are referred to above:

1. --- de Rochechouart (-before 1222). m as her first husband, G---, daughter of --- (-after 1222). She married secondly --- de Châteauneuf. "Rochechouart, A. et P. de Chateauneuf, Jean, leur frère, et G. leur mère veuve" acknowledged that "la justice des biens qu´ils avoient sous les murs du château de Rochechouart appartenoit à Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart" by charter dated 1222[861]. One child:

a) A--- de Rochechouart (-after 1222). "Rochechouart, A. et P. de Chateauneuf, Jean, leur frère, et G. leur mère veuve" acknowledged that "la justice des biens qu´ils avoient sous les murs du château de Rochechouart appartenoit à Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart" by charter dated 1222[862].

1. AIMERY [VII] (-after 7 Apr 1242). Père Anselme names Aimery [VII] as the son of Aimery [VI] and his wife “Luce dame de Perrusse”, but cites no primary source on which the information is based[863]. As is shown above, the charter dated 30 Aug 1200 suggests that Aimery [VI] had only daughters at that date. If that is correct, Aimery [VII] would presumably have been a more distant relative, maybe a nephew, as his suggested marriage date indicates his date of birth around the same time as Aimery [VI]´s children. The charter dated 1191 quoted above does indicate that Aimery [VI] had brothers at that time, one of whom could have been the father of Aimery [VII]. Vicomte de Rochechouart. "Rochechouart, A. et P. de Chateauneuf, Jean, leur frère, et G. leur mère veuve" acknowledged that "la justice des biens qu´ils avoient sous les murs du château de Rochechouart appartenoit à Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart" by charter dated 1222[864]. A letter from "Radulfus filius Nicholai, domini regis senescallus" to the bishop of Chichester and "domino Stephano de Segrave" reports that "comes Marchiæ" had joined the king of France but names "…Emericus de Rochechuard…" among the "barones Pictaviæ" who supported the English king[865]. "A. vicecomes Rupis Chuardi" wrote to Henry III King of England, dated to [Jul 1230], informing him that his "position is very difficult" and that he could not maintain it "without much support from you", and naming "Emerico primogenito nostro"[866]. "Rochechouart (Aimery vicomte de) et Aimery son fils aîné" reached agreement with “la communauté de la ville de Saint-Brice” concerning “un fait d´Hélie de Saint-Brice chevalier et de son fils...hommes du dit vicomte” following “certaines insultes et menaces qu´Aimery de Chateauneuf chevalier avoit fait”, by charter dated 4 Sep 1235[867]. “Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart, Aimery son fils, et Marguerite femme du dit fils” reached agreement with “Guy vicomte de Limoges” to abandon “au dit vicomte de Limoges les domaines de Gorre, Oradour, Cussac, Cuffares, le droit en la forêt de Treus, la moitié du domaine de Maraval” by charter 3 Apr 1242[868]. "…Hemericum de Rupe Chiwardi et Hemericum filius eius…", named by the French king, signed the charter dated 7 Apr 1242 which records a peace treaty between the English and French kings[869]. Général de Rochechouart states that “Aimery [VI]” founded “le couvent des cordeliers de Saint-Junien” in 1230 according to “de recherches récentes faites dans les archives de la Haute-Vienne”[870]. If this information is correct, the date suggests that it is more likely that Aimery [VII] was the founder. m ([1205]) ALIX de Mortemart Dame de Mortemart, daughter and heiress of GUILLAUME Seigneur de Mortemart, d'Availles et de Saint-Germain & his wife --- (-[after 1255]). Père Anselme names “Alix dame de Mortemart dans la province de la Marche...fille et héritière de Guillaume seigneur de Mortemart, d´Availles et de Saint-Germain” as the wife of Aimery [VII], dating their marriage to 1205, adding that she made her testament dated 1247, and was still living in 1255 as a widow, but cites no primary sources on which the information is based[871]. Aimery [VII] & his wife had [four] children:

a) AIMERY [VIII] (-25 Aug 1245, bur Châtenet). "A. vicecomes Rupis Chuardi" wrote to Henry III King of England, dated to [Jul 1230], informing him that his "position is very difficult" and that he could not maintain it "without much support from you", and naming "Emerico primogenito nostro"[872]. Vicomte de Rochechouart.

- see below.

b) FOUCAUD . The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Seigneur de Saint-Germain. Père Anselme names “Foucault de Rochechouart seigneur de S. Germain” as the second son of Aimery [VII], adding that “suivant un mémoire” he was the father of “Guy de Rochechouart, lequel de Sibille de Vivonne eut Guillaume de Rochechouart”, but cites no primary sources on which the information is based[873].

c) SIMON de Rochechouart (-29 Oct 1280, bur Bordeaux Cathedral). According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Simon de Rochechouart, archbishop of Bordeaux, was the son of Aimery [VIII] Vicomte de Rochechouart"[874]. The sources quoted in this paragraph show that this must be incorrect and that Simon must have been the son of Vicomte Aimery [VII]. "Jean vicomte de Rochechouart chevalier seigneur de Saint-Auvent" ratified the privileges granted to the inhabitants of Saint-Auvent in 1226 by "feu monseigneur Simon de Rochechouart, archévêque de Bordeaux, alors doyen de Bourges, seigneur de Saint-Auvent" by charter dated "du dimanche dans les Octaves de la Pentecôte 1344"[875]. Seigneur de Saint-Auvent. Doyen de Bourges before 1226. Henry III King of England granted revenue to "consanguineo nostro magistro Simoni de Rupe Cavardi", dated 1254[876]. "Aymericus, de Rupecavardi vicecomes" donated property to "Geraldo de Malomonte, canonico Aniciensi", dated 30 Sep 1262, witnessed by "Symone de Rupecavardi patruo nostro, domino Guidone archidiacono Combralie, domino Guillelmo Rupiscavardi fratribus nostris"[877]. "Messire Simon de Rochechouart, doyen de Saint-Antregil du château de Bourges" notified the marriage contract of "Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart son neveu" and "noble dame Matilde veuve de noble homme messire Guillaume le Fort" as the agreement for "des deux fils du dit vicomte" to marry "les deux filles de ladite dame veuve", with "Aimery fils aîné" marrying "la fille aînée...[avec] son manoir de Carlton" and "Guy autre fils du dit vicomte" marrying "la seconde fille [avec] la terre de Mortemar", by charter dated "du lundi après la Saint-Georges 1264", which also records that "les dits deux fils du vicomte" would inherit two thirds of their father´s inheritance, the remaining one third to be divided between "ses autres filles et fils"[878]. “Simon de Rochechouart doyen de Bourges...” witnessed the charter dated 2 Feb 1272 which confirmed the emancipation by “Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart” of “Marguerite sa fille” and his grant to her “en faveur de son mariage avec Arnaud Bochart damoiseau...rente...sur les biens de feue dame Jeanne sa femme mère de la dite Marguerite”[879]. Archbishop of Bordeaux 1275. The testament of “Aimery vicomte de Rochechouard, estant sur le point de passer la mer avec le roy de France”, dated end-Jun 1283, confirmed the donation of “Saint-Auvent à Foucaud son fils” made by “feu messire Simon de Rochechouard archevêque de Bordeaux son oncle”[880].

d) [--- de la Roche/de Rochechouart (-before 1284). The identity of the first husband of Lore de Chabanais is uncertain. No primary source has yet been found which states his name. The only source so far found which indicates his family is the record of the 1503 hearing relating to the dispute over the inheritance of the county of Bigorre, which states that "dame Lore sa seur, fille…de…dame Hélys et Jordain de Chabannoys" succeeded "Eschivat" as comtesse de Bigorre and that she bequeathed the county to "messire Aymery de la Roche son filz"[881]. This document is of course extremely late. Nevertheless, the other genealogical details which it contains seem accurate, and none of them appears to have been challenged at the time by the king of France (the defendant in the 1503 lawsuit) according to the contemporary report of the hearing. Can "de la Roche" in that document be interpreted as meaning "de Rochechouart"? According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Lore´s first husband was "Simon de Rochechouart, son of Aimery [VII] Vicomte de Rochechouart"[882]. This cannot be correct as it is demonstrated satisfactorily, above, that Simon, son of Aimery [VII], was archbishop of Bordeaux. There is certainly some connection between Lore de Chabannes and the Rochechouart family: in a charter dated 11 Dec 1304, "Lore vicomtesse de Turenne dame de Chabanais" declares herself "tutrice des enfants de feu Aimery de Rochechouart, damoiseau, son neveu", when arranging the marriage of Simon de Rochechouart to her own grand-daughter[883]. "Feu Aimery de Rochechouart" in that document must be identified as Vicomte Aimery [IX], although in 1304 all his children would have been too old to have needed Lore as their "tutrice" which represents another point which is difficult to understand. If Lore´s husband was a Rochechouart, and "neveu" in the 1304 document can be interpreted strictly, he would have belonged to the generation preceding that of Aimery [IX], which means that he was a son of Aimery [VII] Vicomte de Rochechouart. However, this conclusion is unsatisfactory from a chronological point of view as the children of Aimery [VII] must have been born in the early years of the 13th century, which would mean that Lore´s first husband was considerably older than her. The other possibility is that "de la Roche", in the 1503 source, does not mean the Rochechouart family at all, but the Rochefoucauld family. This hypothesis is discussed more fully in the document POITOU under the entry for Lore de Chabanais. However, it fails to explain Lore´s relationship with the Rochechouart family and why she would have been appointed "tutrice" of the children of Vicomte Aimery [IX]. m as her first husband, LORE de Chabanais, daughter of JOURDAIN ESCHIVAT [II] Sire de Chabanais & his wife Alix de Montfort Ctss de Bigorre ([1240/45]-1316). The record of the 1503 hearing relating to the dispute over the inheritance of the county of Bigorre records that "dame Lore sa seur, fille…de…dame Hélys et Jordain de Chabannoys" succeeded "Eschivat" as comtesse de Bigorre, adding that she left it to "messire Aymery de la Roche son filz"[884]. She married secondly (1284) as his second wife, Raymond [V] Vicomte de Turenne. An anonymous Chronicon of Saint-Marcial records the marriages in 1284 of "Lora filia Echivati de Cabanasio" and "R vicecomiti Turenne" and of "filius primogenitus dicti Raymundi" and "filiam dicte Lore"[885]. "Lore vicomtesse de Turenne dame de Chabanais, comme tutrice des enfants de feu Aimery de Rochechouart, damoiseau, son neveu" contracted for the marriage of "sa nièce Lore avec Simon de Rochechouart chevalier, seigneur de Saint-Laurent, avec les dispenses de parenté, lesquelles seraient obtenues du Pape" by contract dated "le vendredi après Saint-Nicolas d´hyver 1304", which also records that "Messire Foucaud de Rochechouart doyen de Bourges donna au dit Simon son frère cent livres de rentes" and "la dite dame vicomtesse fait mention de son testament de ses enfants...Aimery et Jean"[886].]

- CHABANAIS.

AIMERY [VIII] de Rochechouart, son of AIMERY [VII] Vicomte de Rochechouart & his wife Alix de Mortemart (-25 Aug 1245, bur Châtenet). "A. vicecomes Rupis Chuardi" wrote to Henry III King of England, dated to [Jul 1230], informing him that his "position is very difficult" and that he could not maintain it "without much support from you", and naming "Emerico primogenito nostro"[887]. “Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart, Aimery son fils, et Marguerite femme du dit fils” reached agreement with “Guy vicomte de Limoges” to abandon “au dit vicomte de Limoges les domaines de Gorre, Oradour, Cussac, Cuffares, le droit en la forêt de Treus, la moitié du domaine de Maraval” by charter 3 Apr 1242[888]. "…Hemericum de Rupe Chiwardi et Hemericum filius eius…", named by the French king, signed the charter dated 7 Apr 1242 which records a peace treaty between the English and French kings[889]. Vicomte de Rochechouart. The testament of Aimery [VIII] is dated 1245 and appoints “sa femme Marguerite de Limoges” as guardian of his children[890]. An epitaph in the church of Saint-Yrieix records the death “in die Sancti Aredii” of “Aimericus de Rupe-Cavardo, maritus Margaritæ, filiæ Guidonis vicecomitis Lemovicensis”[891].

m MARGUERITE de Limoges, daughter of GUY [V] Vicomte de Limoges & his second wife Ermengarde du Barry (-9 Sep 1259, bur Châtenet). “Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart, Aimery son fils, et Marguerite femme du dit fils” reached agreement with “Guy vicomte de Limoges” to abandon “au dit vicomte de Limoges les domaines de Gorre, Oradour, Cussac, Cuffares, le droit en la forêt de Treus, la moitié du domaine de Maraval” by charter 3 Apr 1242[892]. The testament of “la vicomtesse Marguerite”, dated Jul 1252, chose her burial "en la chapelle du Châtenet, au tombeau de feu son mary", bequeathed "trente livres de rente à Guillaume de Rochechouart son fils sur la terre qu´elle reçut en dot dans la vicomté de Limoges, avec la vigne qu´elle avoit acquise d´Adhémar de Maumont chevalier…à son déffaut à Guy de Rochechouart son fils et en outre…avec une coupe d´argent doré qui luy seroit donnée lorsqu´il sera armé chevalier", to "Adhémar de Rochechouart son fils cinquante livres de rente à prendre sur celle de cent livres que luy avoit donnée le comte de Poitiers", ordered that "Guy, Adhémar et Simon ses fils soient substitués les uns aux autres, en cas de mort sans hoirs", bequeathed "à Foucaud son autre fils, cinquante livres sur les biens de Cussac…dès qu´il aura atteint l´âge de seize ans", her lands "qu´elle avoit eues de ses père et mère à Aimery son fils aîné", made a bequest to "Marguerite sa nièce, fille de Guy son frère pour la faire religieuse", and named as executors "Guy de la Roche son gendre…son seigneur le vicomte de Limoges son frère…"[893]. An epitaph in the church of Saint-Yrieix records the death “in die Sancti Aredii” of “Aimericus de Rupe-Cavardo, maritus Margaritæ, filiæ Guidonis vicecomitis Lemovicensis” and the death 9 Sep 1259 of “Margarita”[894].

Aimery [VIII] & his wife had [nine] children:

1. AIMERY [IX] ([1220/28]-[1283/84], bur Terzay). His parentage is confirmed by the testament of [his mother] “la vicomtesse Marguerite”, dated Jul 1252, which bequeathed her lands "qu´elle avoit eues de ses père et mère à Aimery son fils aîné"[895]. Vicomte de Rochechouart.

- see below.

Chapter 10. VICOMTES de SEGUR

1. FOUCHER (-after 1048). A manuscript history of Uzerche monastery records that Turpion Bishop of Limoges divided properties at Uzerche, previously donated, between "dominum Seguris castri Vicecomitis Lemovicensis et Vicecomitis Combornensis"[999]. Vicomte de Ségur. "Geraldo abbati...Solemniacensis" granted property “in Lemovicino in vicaria Cambolllivensi in villa...Olonziacus”, with the consent of “Fulcherio Vicecomite”, by charter dated to [940/50][1000]. "Adacius abbas...Tutelensis monasterii sancti Martini" granted “in Lemovicino in vicaria Cursiacensi ecclesiam...de Porcaria” to “Fulchardo vicecomite de Segur” by charter dated Sep 948[1001]. Fage suggests that he was Foucher de Limoges, son of Hildebert Vicomte de Limoges & his first wife Adaltrude ---: he states that “à la mort d´Aldebert, son second fils Foucher...conserva seulement la seigneurie de Ségur qu´il avait receuillie dans la succession paternelle”[1002]. However, as can be seen from the 920 charter quoted above, the evidence that Hildebert had a son named Foucher is not conclusive. In support of his argument, Fage also quotes three manuscript versions of the chanson de Gérald de Roussillon which name “e viscoms de Limoges...Girau” (presumably identifiable as Gérard Vicomte de Limoges, son of Vicomte Hildegaire) and state, respectively, that he was “...filz Audoin e neis Fouchau”, “filhs Andevi e nebs Folquau” and “nies Audoin et nies Folquau”[1003]. Fage suggests that “Fouchau/Folquau” indicates Foucher Vicomte de Ségur, while glossing over the difficulty of identifying “Audoin/Andevi” with Vicomte Hildegaire. Dated to the 12th/13th centuries, the chansons de geste are noted more for their literary invention than historical accuracy, akin to the present-day genre of the historical novel, although their historical backdrop is generally broadly correct. They constitute a difficult source on which to rely for precise details of family relationships and, as can be seen above, in any case the texts under consideration provide two alternatives. In addition, it is likely that the word “neis/nebs” is as imprecise as “nepos” in Latin, covering both nephew and grandson. The complication in the present case is introduced by the possible existence at the end of the 9th century of Foucher Vicomte de Limoges (see above), which introduces the possibility that the chanson does not refer to the vicomte de Ségur at all but intends to highlight indistinct family relationships between Vicomte Gérard and supposed earlier vicomtes de Limoges. The existence of some family relationship between the vicomtes de Limoges and the vicomtes de Ségur is confirmed by the 11th century charter under which "Ademarus vicecomes et Geraldus vicecomes consanguineus meus" donated “unum mansum...a Meseirac in vicaria Usercensi” to Uzerche[1004]. Baluze identifies the donors as Adémar Vicomte de Ségur and Géraud Vicomte de Limoges, suggesting that they were first cousins, sons of two brothers[1005]. However, the order of the names of the donors in the document suggests that Adémar was the senior of the two, whereas he would have been junior to Vicomte Gérard if he had been the son of Foucher, younger son of Vicomte Hildegaire. Another possibility is that the relationship between the two families was through the female line, either through Gérard´s mother or one of his grandmothers. The fact that the supposed granddaughter of Vicomte Foucher married the son of Vicomte Gérard suggests that the relationship may have been a more distant one, as the marriage of second cousins at that time would have been unusual. Settipani suggests yet another possibility: that Vicomte Foucher was the nephew of Vicomte Hildegaire[1006].

2. ADEMAR de Ségur (after 987). No primary source has been identified which names Adémar as the son of Foucher Vicomte de Ségur, but this affiliation appears to be a likely possibility. "Ademarus vicecomes et Geraldus vicecomes consanguineus meus" donated “unum mansum...a Meseirac in vicaria Usercensi” to Uzerche by charter dated to the 11th century[1007]. Baluze identifies the donors as Adémar Vicomte de Ségur and Géraud Vicomte de Limoges, suggesting that they were first cousins, sons of two brothers[1008]. Vicomte de Ségur. A manuscript history of Uzerche monastery records that "Ebolus episcopus" succeeded Turpion as bishop of Limoges and names “Abderami Vicecomitis Seguris”[1009]. 950/77. [A fragmentary chronicle of the dukes of Aquitaine records a dispute between “vicecomes Ebles de Thoarcio” and “Ademaro in Lemovicensi pago”, dating it to “defuncto Hildegario vicecomite”[1010]. Fage points out that Lasteyrie has dated this conflict to 963, and suggests that Vicomte Hildegaire´s death should be dated to shortly before this date[1011]. As discussed more fully under Hildegaire Vicomte de Limoges, in the chapter dealing with the vicomtes de Limoges, this “fragmentary chronicle” forms part of a series of documents which was apparently fabricated in the early 17th century.] "Hildegarius Lemovicensium pontifex" granted privileges to Uzerche and names "genitore meo…domno Geraldo vicecomite necnon et genetrice mea Rotilde…vicecomes Lemovicensis Ademarus et uxor sua Melissendis", adding that after the death of "predictus Ademarus…gener ipsius Guido" married "filia ipsius…Emma", by charter dated to [970/86][1012]. m MELISENDE, daughter of --- (-11 Jul [1001]).

Her marriage is confirmed by the charter dated 1025 in which "Guido vicecomes et Emma uxor mea" granted privileges to the abbey of Tourtoirac, for the souls of "…Ademari vicecomitis patris uxoris meæ et matris eius Milissendis"[1014].

Adémar & his wife had one child:

a) EMMA de Ségur ([965]-soon after 1025). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Emma" as wife of "Guido"[1016]. Her parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 1025 under which "Guido vicecomes et Emma uxor mea" granted privileges to the abbey of Tourtoirac, for the souls of "Geraldi patris mei, ac matris meæ Rotildis…Ademari vicecomitis patris uxoris meæ et matris eius Milissendis", with the consent of "Ademaro filio meo et uxore eius Senegunde…filio meo Petrone et uxore eius Sulpitia" and "…Guidone de Turribus…"[1017].

B. VICOMTES de TURENNE (COMTES de COMBORN)

ARCHAMBAUD "Camba-Putrida/Jambe-Pourrie", son of [HUGUES de Rouergue Sire de Quercy & his wife ---] (-[1000] or after). According to Europäische Stammtafeln[1093], Archambaud Vicomte de Comborn was the possible son of Hugues Sire de Quercy, Vicomte de Comborn, presumably based on his succession to his supposed father at Comborn. "Radulfi, Adalaidis, Eboli episcopi, Eboli fratris eius, Hermenrici, Alduini, Joannis, Geraldi, Bernardi, item Bernardi, Stephani, Arnulfi, Aldiarde, Hermengardis, Archambaldi, Sulpitiæ" witnessed the charter dated Dec 951 under which "Radulfi et Adalaidis uxoris eius" donated their part of property also donated by "Arberti de Chav[ano]"[1094]. Vicomte de Comborn 962.

"…Archambaldi, Sulpitiæ" witnessed the charter dated Dec 951 under which "Radulfi et Adalaidis uxoris eius" donated their part of property also donated by "Arberti de Chav[ano]"[1098]. The cartulary of Tulle St Martin records a donation by "Archambaldus vicecomes qui cognominatur camba poirida et uxor sua Sulpicia" dated [969][1099]. Her parentage is confirmed by the cartulary of Tulle St Martin which includes an dated charter which records that "Archambaldus de Combor Camba-Putrida…et Ramnulphus Cabridellus" had married "filias huius vicecomitis" which refers to "Bernardum vicecomitem Torenæ" (named in an earlier passage[1100]. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records that "sorore Richardi Normannorum Ducis" was the wife of "Archambaldus Chamba-Putrida" and mother of "Ebolum"[1101], but this appears to result from confusion with the wife of Archambaud's son Ebles (see below).

Vicomte Archambaud & his wife had three children:

1. EBLES de Turenne (-after 1030). "Archambaldus" donated property to Uzerche, for the souls of "filiorum meorum Eboli et Archambaldi", by charter dated Dec 992[1102]. He succeeded as Vicomte de Turenne.

The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records that "sorore Richardi Normannorum Ducis" was the wife of "Archambaldus Chamba-Putrida" and mother of "Ebolum"[1110], but this is difficult to sustain chronologically.

The necrology of Saint-Martial records the death “IV Kal Jun” of “Matheldis vicecomitissa”[1152]. It is not certain that this entry relates to Mathilde du Perche Vicomtesse de Turenne, but no other vicomtesse of this name has yet been identified in the Limousin area. Vicomte Raymond & his wife had three children:

2. ARCHAMBAUD de Turenne (-1117). The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Raymundum et Archambaldum de Ribeyrac et Ebolum Abbatem Tutelensem" as sons of "Boso"[1161]. The cartulary of Tulle St Martin records a donation by "Boso vicecomes Torenensis castri et uxor mea Guirberga…filium nostrum Ebalum" dated 1091 which also names "filiis nostris Raymondo et Archambaldo"[1162].

The cartulary of Tulle St Martin records a donation by "Raimundus vicecomes de Torrenna" made "pro anima fratris sui Arcambaldi" dated 1117[1166]. m ---. The name of Archambaud's wife is not known. Archambaud & his wife had [one possible child]:

a) [RAYMOND de Turenne (-after 1167). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. However, his use of the title Vicomte de Ribérac suggests that he inherited this from his supposed father Archambaud. In addition, his daughter Raymonde named her second son Archambaud, which suggests that descent from Archambaud de Turenne is likely. It is unlikely that this Raymond was a younger brother of Boson [II] Vicomte de Turenne in view of the donation made by the latter's two brothers-in-law after his death, in which a surviving brother would presumably have been associated. Vicomte de Turenne et de Ribérac. "Raemundus de Ribeirac vicecomes" donated property to Notre-Dame de Chancelade, on the advice of "Rudelli comitis", by undated charter dated to [1115/55][1167].

"Raimundus vicecomes Turennensis…et…Talairans gener prædicti vicecomitis" donated property in "mansum de las Treilas" to Notre-Dame de Dalon by charter dated 1167[1169].

Raymond & his wife had one child:

i) RAYMONDE ([1135/45]-).

Stroński suggests convincingly that her father was a son of Archambaud de Turenne Vicomte de Ribérac, son of Boson [I] Vicomte de Turenne[1171]. Her birth date range, estimated on the basis of the birth date ranges of her descendants, demonstrates that she could not have been the daughter of Raymond [II] Vicomte de Turenne (who was born posthumously in [1143/44]). Her name is confirmed by the charter dated to [1180] under which "Helias Talairanz comes Petragoricensis et Raimunda comitissa uxor illius" donated property "loco de Landia" {La Lande, a priory of the abbey of Chancelade} to Notre-Dame de Chancelade, which specifies that the donation was made in "castello de Monpao quod uxor sua Raimonda possidebat"[1172]. This is the château and châtellenie of Montpaon, a name subsequently distorted into Montpont {Montpont-Ménestérol, Dordogne}, which she brought to her husband as dowry. Her name is stated as Mathilde in Europäische Stammtafeln[1173] which is an error. m (1167 or before) HELIE [VI] TALAIRAND Comte de Périgord, son of BOSON [IV] Comte de Périgord & his wife Contors --- (-[1211]).
