The vicomté at Bezaume is first recorded in the late 10th century. Its precise territory has not yet been identified but it is probable that it lay in north-eastern Gascony adjacent to the county of Agen. From the point of view of ecclesiastical administration, the archdeaconry of Bezaume fell under the bishopric of Agen[1]. It is possible that the Seigneurs d’Albret (see Chapter 2), a powerful influence in south-west France and Navarre in the 15th and early 16th centuries, descended from the first dynasty of vicomtes de Bezaume.

1. AMANIEU Sancho . "Garsias Sanctii consul filius regis Sancii" granted "Astaracensem pagum" to "Arnaldo filio meo" by charter dated to [920], signed by "Garciæ Sancii Consulis, Sancii Wilhelmi comitis filii, Salii Vivari, Sancii Amanevi, Gumbaudi, Eneci fratris eius"[2]. Jaurgain states that Amanieu Sancho was the fifth son of Sancho Garcia Duke of Gascony, appearing to assume that he was the same person as "Sancii Amanevi" who signed the [920] charter, and that he was ancestor of the Vicomtes de Bezaume and Seigneurs d’Albret[3]. He cites no primary source which confirms the relationship. However, according to his reconstruction, Amauvin [Aimon] (ancestor of the vicomtes de Bezaume) and Amanieu (ancestor of the seigneurs d’Albret) were brothers and were the same persons as "duobus consanguineus nostris Aymone…et Aymonio" who confirmed the charter dated 3 Apr [1009] under which "Bernardus Willelmus comes" confirmed the foundation of Saint-Sever[4].

According to Jaurgain, Utzan Amanieu and Arnaud Amanieu were brothers and sons of Amanieu Sancho, shown above[5]. The patronymics indicate that this may be correct, but there appears to be no direct information which confirms that it is the case.

1. UTZAN Amanieu (-after 978). "…Utzan Amaneii, Seguini vicecomitis, Arcolidat vicecomitis, Arnoldi Amaneii" subscribed the charter dated 977 under which "Gumboldus episcopus et frater meus Willelmus Sancio dux Vasconum" re-established the monastery of La Réole[6]. "…Utzan Amanieu, Arnald Amanieu" subscribed the charter dated 978 under which "Gumboldus episcopus…regionis dux" confirmed an exchange of property between the monks of La Réole and his vassal "Arsia"[7].

2. ARNAUD Amanieu (-after 978). "…Utzan Amaneii, Seguini vicecomitis, Arcolidat vicecomitis, Arnoldi Amaneii" subscribed the charter dated 977 under which "Gumboldus episcopus et frater meus Willelmus Sancio dux Vasconum" re-established the monastery of La Réole[8]. "…Utzan Amanieu, Arnald Amanieu" subscribed the charter dated 978 under which "Gumboldus episcopus…regionis dux" confirmed an exchange of property between the monks of La Réole and his vassal "Arsia"[9].

1. ARNAUD (-after Nov 982). Vicomte de Bezaume. A vine was donated by charter dated Nov 982 "regnante Guillelmo Sancio comite, captinentia Arnaldo vicecomiti"[10].

Two possible brothers:

1. AMAUVIN [Aimon] (-before 1026). The Vita Sancti Abbonis Floriacensis names Amauvin as prepositus at the monastery of la Réole at the end of the 10th century[11]. According to Jaurgain, Amauvin was the son of Utzan Amanieu, named above, but he cites no primary source which either confirms that this is correct or provides Amauvin’s patronymic[12]. "Bernardus Willelmus comes" confirmed the foundation of Saint-Sever, confirmed by "germano meo Sancio et beatæ memoriæ matre mea Urraca, cum duobus consanguineus nostris Aymone…et Aymonio", by charter dated 3 Apr [1009][13]. According to Jaurgain, "Aymone…et Aymonio" were brothers[14]. m ROSENBERGE, daughter of --- (-before 1026). "Vicecomes Rodulfus, qui et…Artaldus" donated property "in pago Bezelmelsi" to Saint-Pierre de Réole, for the souls of "patris mei Amalvini et matris mee Rosenberge et fratris mei Guillelmi vicecomitis", by charter dated 1026[15]. Amalvin & his wife had two children:

a) GUILLAUME (-before 1026). Vicomte de Bezaume. "Vicecomes Rodulfus, qui et…Artaldus" donated property "in pago Bezelmelsi" to Saint-Pierre de Réole, for the souls of "patris mei Amalvini et matris mee Rosenberge et fratris mei Guillelmi vicecomitis", by charter dated 1026[16].

b) RODOLPHE ARTAUD (-after 1026). Vicomte de Bezaume. "Vicecomes Rodulfus, qui et…Artaldus" donated property "in pago Bezelmelsi" to Saint-Pierre de Réole, for the souls of "patris mei Amalvini et matris mee Rosenberge et fratris mei Guillelmi vicecomitis", by charter dated 1026[17]. m ---. The name of Rodolphe’s wife is not known. Rodolphe & his wife had [one possible] child:

i) [AMAUVINE (-after [1097]). According to Jaurgain, Amauvine was the daughter of Rodolphe Artaud, named above, but he cites no primary source which confirms that this is correct[18]. Vicomtesse de Bezaume. "Guillelmus Amanei de Benavias et uxor eius Amalvina" donated two serfs to Grande-Sauve for "filio suo Guillelmo Amanei" who was on crusade, by charter dated to [1097][19]. m GUILLAUME AMANIEU d'Albret, son of AMANIEU [I] Seigneur d'Albret & his wife --- (-after [1097]). Vicomte de Bezaume. Comte de Benauges.]

2. [AMANIEU (-after [1030]). "Bernardus Willelmus comes" confirmed the foundation of Saint-Sever, confirmed by "germano meo Sancio et beatæ memoriæ matre mea Urraca, cum duobus consanguineus nostris Aymone…et Aymonio", by charter dated 3 Apr [1009][20]. According to Jaurgain, "Aymone…et Aymonio" were brothers[21]. Amanieu signed a charter dated to [1030] under which Sancho Guillaume Duke of Gascony donated property to the church of Saint-André de Bordeaux[22]. Jaurgain identifies Amanieu as ancestor of the seigneurs d’Albret[23].]

- SEIGNEURS d’ALBRET.

GUILLAUME AMANIEU d'Albret, son of [AMANIEU [II] Seigneur d'Albret & his wife ---] (-after [1097]). "Willelmus Amanei, Bernardi fratris eius" subscribed charters of Grande-Sauve dated to [1079/89][24]. Although Bernard and Guillaume Amanieu are shown to be brothers by this charter[25], no primary source has been found which confirms that they were the sons of Amanieu [II] except for the patronymic attributed to Guillaume Amanieu. Vicomte de Bezaume. Comte de Benauges. "Guillelmus Amanei de Benavias et uxor eius Amalvina" donated two serfs to Grande-Sauve for "filio suo Guillelmo Amanei" who was on crusade, by charter dated to [1097][26].

m AMAUVINE Vicomtesse de Bezaume, daughter of [RODOLPHE ARTAUD Vicomte de Bezaume & his wife ---] (-after [1097]). The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. "Guillelmus Amanei de Benavias et uxor eius Amalvina" donated two serfs to Grande-Sauve for "filio suo Guillelmo Amanei" who was on crusade, by charter dated to [1097][27].

Guillaume Amanieu & his wife had one child:

1. GUILLAUME AMANIEU [II] de Bezaume (-before 1103). "Guillelmus Amanei de Benavias et uxor eius Amalvina" donated two serfs to Grande-Sauve for "filio suo Guillelmo Amanei" who was on crusade, by charter dated to [1097][28]. William of Tyre names "Guilhermus Amaneus" among those present at the capture of Antioch in 1098[29]. Vicomte de Bezaume et de Benauges. m ---. The name of Guillaume Amanieu's wife is not known. Guillaume Amanieu [II] & his wife had [two] children:

a) [BERNARD (-after 1103). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified, but the chronology suggests that he was the son of Guillaume Amanieu [II]. Vicomte de Bezaume. "Bernardus vicecomes" renounced a tax on La Réole before the court of Gascony, before "Astanova comite…de Fedenzac, ac Bernardo de Armanac, necnon Gastone vicecomite de Bearn, et Lupo Anario de Marzan, et Bibiano de Lomonie, et Petro, domino de Gavarred…", by charter dated 1103[30].] m ---. The name of Bernard's wife is not known. Bernard & his wife had [one] child:

i) [GUILLAUME AMANIEU [III] (-1155 or after, or after 1179). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified but the chronology suggests that he was the son of Bernard. Vicomte de Bezaume. "Guillelmus Amanei vicecomes de Bezaumes" signed a charter dated to [1125] under which Guillaume IX Duke of Aquitaine donated property to Grande-Sauve, and signed three more charters relating to the same monastery dated 1155[31]. A charter dated 1179 notes concessions made to "Vuilhelmo Amanevi de Benauges vicecomiti Vesalmensi" to ensure he protects the domains of Lobagnac[32].] m ---. The name of Guillaume Amanieu's wife is not known. Guillaume Amanieu [III] & his wife had one child:

(a) daughter . She is referred to by Jaurgain as daughter and heiress of Guillaume Amanieu [III], and wife of "Bernard de Gabarret dit de Boville", but he cites no primary source on which this information is based[33]. m BERNARD [de Gabarret] de Boville, son of --- (-after 3 Feb 1190). Vicomte de Bezaume.

b) VITAPOI . The Historia Pontificum et Comitum Engolismensis names "filia Amani seu Amaniei Gasconis…Vitapoi" as wife of "Willelmus Taillefer Engolismensis Comes" and mother of Comte Vulgrin II[34]. m GUILLAUME V Comte d'Angoulême, son of FOULQUES "Taillefer" Comte d'Angoulême & his wife Condoha d'Eu (-near Deutz 1120, bur Deutz St Heribert).

B. VICOMTES de BEZAUME (BOVILLE)

1. BERNARD [de Gabarret] de Boville (-after 3 Feb 1190). Jaurgain refers to him as "Bernard de Gabarret dit de Boville", suggesting that he was descended from one of the sons of Pierre Roger Vicomte de Gabarret, probably the son named Roger (without providing the basis for this speculation but presumably because this was the name of the person whom Jaurgain assumes was Bernard’s second son)[35]. However, no primary source has yet been found which names him "Gabarret". The question is therefore whether there has been confusion because of the family’s later connection with Pierre de Gabarret. Vicomte de Bezaume. "Bernardus de Bouvilla vicecomes" and "Arnaud de Blanquefort et Guillaume-Hélie [de Puy-Paulin] chevaliers" declared themselves defenders of the monastery of Grande-Sauve by charter dated to [1175][36]. “Bernard de Gabardan vicomte de Bezaume”: unclear whether this is a direct translation of the wording of the original charter] is named in a charter dated 3 Feb 1190 under which Richard I King of England confirmed the possessions of Grande-Sauve abbey[37]. m --- de Bezaume, daughter of GUILLAUME AMANIEU [III] Vicomte de Bezaume & his wife ---. She is referred to by Jaurgain as daughter and heiress of Guillaume Amanieu [III], and wife of "Bernard de Gabarret dit de Boville", but he cites no primary source on which this information is based[38]. Bernard & his wife had two children:

a) PIERRE de Gabarret (-before 21 May 1242). His parentage is confirmed by the charter quoted below which names his grandfather Guillaume Amanieu. "Petrus de Gavarreto" donated rights “in terra de Laulan” to Réole Saint-Pierre by charter dated to 1195[39]. Vicomte de Bezaume et de Bénauges. Seigneur de Saint-Macaire et en partie de Langon. Pierre de Gabarret was present with "Guillaume de Boville" at an assembly held at Bordeaux 3 Apr 1198 to celebrate the canonisation of Saint Géraud, founder of Grande-Sauve[40]. Pierre de Gabaret Vicomte de Bezaume donated property to Sainte-Marie d’Auch by charter dated 12 Apr 1205[41]. Pierre de Gabaret Vicomte de Bezaume submitted his dispute with Guillaume abbé de Sainte-Croix de Bordeaux to arbitration in 1219 and swore allegiance to Henry III King of England in 1228[42]. Henry III King of England granted money to the archbishop of Bordeaux, "Petri de Gaveretto et Willelmi Reimundi Columb, civis nostri Burdegalensis" acting as fiduciaries, dated 20 Apr 1229[43]. "P de Gavarretto vicecomes Vezalinensis et dominus de Benaujas" abandoned rights “super decima...in parrochia de Leignan” to the abbey of Sainte-Croix de Bordeaux by charter dated [1250?] which names "Guillelmi Amanevi avi mei"[44]. Bladé dates this document to [1230][45], which seems more reasonable considering the chronology of the life of Pierre de Gabarret. King Henry III summoned vassals to meet "apud Pontem", including "Petrus de Gaverad", dated 25 May 1242[46]. m (before 13 Dec 1228) GUILLEMETTE, daughter of --- (-after 13 Dec 1228). Henry III King of England granted dower to "Willelme vicecomitisse de Byeaumes uxori…Petri de Gaveret" dated 13 Dec 1228[47].

Guillemette & her husband had one child:

i) BERNARD de Boville (-after 9 Sep 1242). "Willielmam vicecomitissam de Benauges et Bernardum de Bovilla filius eius" were in dispute with the abbot of Sainte-Croix de Bordeaux, recorded in a charter dated 9 Sep 1242[49].

b) ROGER de Gabarret (-after 2 Jul 1242). According to Jaurgain, Roger was the younger brother of Pierre de Gabarret, assuming that they were both sons of Bernard de Boville[50].

- SEIGNEURS de LANGON[51].

2. GUILLAUME de Boville (-after 3 Apr 1198). Pierre de Gabarret was present with "Guillaume de Boville" at an assembly held at Bordeaux 3 Apr 1198 to celebrate the canonisation of Saint Géraud, founder of Grande-Sauve[52]. He may have been a younger brother of Bernard de Gabarret Vicomte de Bezaume.

1. PIERRE de Gabarret . m ---. The name of Pierre’s wife is not known. Pierre & his wife had one child:

a) AGNES de Gabarret (-after Sep 1282). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 23 Apr 1280 under which [her husband] “Lo noble baro en Senebru senhor de Lesparra” acknowledged that “Montinhac...Trossas...Galhan...La Fontana...Batbertram...Campgran” formed part of the traditional inheritance of the second son of the seigneur de Lesparre and granted them to “Senebrun son segont filh e premier filh de lui e de la dona Nagne sa molher filha qui fo deu senhor en P. de Gavarret”, and if he died to “Bernot son autre filh, fraire german deudeyt Senebrun...frayres menors de Lesparra”[53]. A charter dated 30 Sep 1282 records the settlement of a dispute between “la dona Nagnes molher qui fo deu noble baron en Senebrun senhor de Lesparra qui fo, tant per sin que per Senebrun e per Bernart sos filhs” and “lo noble baron Nayquem Wilhem filh e hereter deudit senhor en Senebrun qui fo” concerning “lo maridatge eu don degut ala deita dona Nagnes”, with the consent of “deus nobles senhors Nartaut senhor de Mirambeu e den Guitqard de Borc senhor de Vertujh, cavoirs”[54]. m as his second wife, SENEBRUN [IV] Seigneur de Lesparre, of SENEBRUN [III] Seigneur de Lesparrre & his wife Mathilde de Tonnay-Charente (-[1 Jan/30 Sep] 1282).

C. SEIGNEURS de CAUMONT

The town of Caumont of which the following were seigneurs has not been identified beyond doubt. It may be Caumont-sur-Garonne, in the département of Lot-et-Garonne.

1. DODON de Caumont (-after 1130). “...Dodonis de Caumonte...” subscribed the undated charter under which Alphonse Comte de Toulouse constructed a bridge over the Garonne river[55]. Père Anselme states that Dodon was living “en 1110, 1120 et 1130” but does not cite the primary sources on which this information is based[56].

2. SANCHO de Caumont (-after 1136). Père Anselme states that “Sanchez seigneur de Caumont” was the son of Dodon and was living “en 1136 suivant un titre qui se trouve dans les archives de Bazas, qui porte qu’en cette année Raimond Bernard évêque d’ Agen vint à main armée forcer et brûler la ville de Bazas” but does not cite the primary sources on which this information is based[57].

3. RICHARD de Caumont . Père Anselme names “Richard seigneur de Caumont” as son of “Sanchez seigneur de Caumont” father of the brothers Begon and Nompar who are named below but provides no other information about his life[58]. The dates of charters in which the brothers Begon and Nompar are named suggests that the chronology of this reported descent is impossible.

Two brothers:

1. NOMPAR de Caumont (-after 7 Apr 1243). Père Anselme records that “Bec seigneur de Caumont” and his brother “Nompar de Caumont” donated “le prieuré de Merignac près Miramont en Albigeois” to Grandmont by charter dated 1211[59]. “Nomparius de Cavomonte, Bego de Cavomonte, Ar. Ot vicecomes Lomanie, W. Ramundi de Pinibus dominus Talhaburgi, Ar. de Marmanda...” subscribed the charter dated 3 Sep 1238 under which Raymond Comte de Toulouse swore homage to the abbot of Sarlat for Bainac[60]. A charter dated 7 Apr 1243 names “...Begonis de Calvomonte...Nopars de Caumont...” in the list of “baronum, castellanorum et militum Agenensis diœcesis” who swore allegiance[61].

2. BEGON de Caumont (-after 7 Apr 1243). Père Anselme records that “Bec seigneur de Caumont” and his brother “Nompar de Caumont” donated “le prieuré de Merignac près Miramont en Albigeois” to Grandmont by charter dated 1211[62]. “Nomparius de Cavomonte, Bego de Cavomonte, Ar. Ot vicecomes Lomanie, W. Ramundi de Pinibus dominus Talhaburgi, Ar. de Marmanda...” subscribed the charter dated 3 Sep 1238 under which Raymond Comte de Toulouse swore homage to the abbot of Sarlat for Bainac[63].

The editor of this compilation names him “Guillaume de Caumont en Quercy (Lot-et-Garonne)” which suggests that his family may be different from the Caumont family of Gironde.

2. GUILLAUME [II] de Caumont (-after 1260). Père Anselme names “Guillaume II seigneur de Caumont” as the son of Guillaume [I] and records that he swore homage to Alphonse de France Comte de Toulouse for “sa terre et seigneurie de Caumont” in 1260[66].

1. BERTRAND de Caumont (-before 1314). Seigneur de Caumont. Père Anselme names “Bertrand seigneur de Caumont, de Samazan et de Montpouillan” as the son of Guillaume [II] but does not cite the primary source on which this information is based[67]. m (before 15 Jun 1271) INDIA de l’Isle-Jourdain, daughter of JOURDAIN de l’Isle-Jourdain & his wife Faydite ---.

Chapter 2. BORDEAUX

A. COMTES de BORDEAUX

The history of the comtes de Bordeaux in the 10th and 11th centuries is obscure due to the limited number of references found in primary sources. The following outline represents the best family reconstruction which can be achieved at the present time in light of the information available but, as will be seen, it is far from complete.

1. SEGUIN (-after 778). Comte de Bordeaux. The Vita Hludowici Imperatoris records, around the time of the birth of Louis (778), that “...civitati...præfecit...Burdegalis Sigwinum...”[124]. same person as...? SEGUIN [I] [Jimeno] (-after 816). Duke of Gascony. Einhard's Annales record that "Vascones" rebelled against "ducem suum…Sigiwinum" in 816[125].

2. GUILLAUME, son of [BERNARD Comte d'Autun, Marquis de Septimanie [Toulouse] & his wife Dhuoda ---] (29 Nov 826-killed in battle Barcelona 850). Comte de [Bordeaux?]. [Duke of Gascony.] The Chronicon Fontanellensis records in 848 that "Nortmanni" captured “Budegalim urbem...et Ducem eiusdem Guilhelmum noctu” in 848[126]. The question of Guillaume’s parentage is discussed in the document GASCONY, which also quotes sources which record his probable career after 848.

1. GUILLAUME (-after [952/62]). Comte de Bordeaux. m ---. The name of Guillaume’s wife is not known. Guillaume & his wife had two children:

a) --- de Bordeaux . Comte de Bordeaux. The Chronique de Guitres records that, after the death of “Adaicius”, his sons were confirmed in their rights [at Fronsac] by “Burdegalem...consulem ipsorum avunculum”[127]. The chronology suggests that this was the same person as Raymond Comte de Bordeaux, who is named below. This appears corroborated by his sister naming her second son Raymond.

b) daughter . The Chronique de Guitres records that “Adaicius” married “Gillermum Burdegalensem consulem...filiam” and was granted “castrum de Fronsiac”[128]. Depoin dates the marriage to [952/62][129]. m ([952/62]) as his first wife, ADACIUS, son of ALCHIER Seigneur de Ribérac & his wife ---.

2. RAYMOND . Jaurgain assumes that Raymond was the son of Guillaume Comte [de Bordeaux] [Duke of Gascony], who was captured in 848 (see above), but he cites no primary source on which he relies[130]. Comte de Bordeaux. m ANDREGOTO, daughter of ---. "Comes Villelmus…matrem suam…Entregotis et uxorem suam Aremburgis" and "Guillelmus comes, filius Remundo comiti" founded the abbey of Bordeaux Sainte-Croix by charter dated to "regnante Guillelmo comite, quod vocatur bonus in civitate Burdegalensi"[131]. Settipani suggests that the wife of Comte Raymond was Andregoto de Gascogne, daughter of Garcia Sanchez Duke of Gascony & his wife Amuna ---, but does not cite the primary source on which he bases his reasoning[132]. If he is correct, Andregoto was born [875/900], which places the dating of the 1027 charter for Bordeaux Sainte-Croix (see below) in doubt. Raymond & his wife had [two] children:

a) GUILLAUME (-11 Nov [after 1027]). "Comes Villelmus…matrem suam…Entregotis et uxorem suam Aremburgis" and "Guillelmus comes, filius Remundo comiti" founded the abbey of Bordeaux Sainte-Croix by charter dated to "regnante Guillelmo comite, quod vocatur bonus in civitate Burdegalensi"[133]. "Guillelmus…comes Aquitanie simul et dux Vasconie et uxor mea Remberga" donated property to the abbey of Bordeaux Sainte-Croix by charter dated 1027[134]. The donors in these two charters appear to be the same person. However, no connection has been made between the individuals named in the charters and the known dukes of Gascony or Aquitaine, which suggests either that the charters may be spurious or that they refer to a different family whose rule over the whole of Gascony and/or Aquitaine was not generally recognised. Comte de Bordeaux. An inscription, reputedly once in the church of Sainte-Quitterie at Aire but now disappeared, records the death "III Id Nov" of "Guilelmus comes C…[M]archio dux Guascanorum et…Garsie fratris eius comitus Agennensium"[135]. m AREMBURGIS, daughter of ---. "Guillelmus…comes Aquitanie simul et dux Vasconie et uxor mea Remberga" donated property to the abbey of Bordeaux Sainte-Croix by charter dated 1027[136].

b) [GARCIA . Comte d'Agen. An inscription, reputedly once in the church of Sainte-Quitterie at Aire but now disappeared, records the death "III Id Nov" of "Guilelmus comes C…[M]archio dux Guascanorum et…Garsie fratris eius comitus Agennensium"[137].]

3. EUDES de Bordeaux, son of --- (-1039). m as her first husband, AINA de Périgord, daughter of [BOSON [III] Comte de Périgord & his wife Aina de Montignac] (-after 1058). The Chronicle of Saint-Maixent names "Audeberti comitis Petragoricæ filiam" as the wife of "Gaufredus", specifying that they later separated on the grounds of consanguinity[138]. This is impossible from a chronological point of view if it is assumed the charters dated 1122 naming "Ascelina comitissa" (see ANGOULEME) refer to the wife of Audebert [III] Comte de Périgord. It is therefore posited that Aina was the daughter of Boson [III] which, assuming the latter's birth in [990], is chronologically consistent with her first marriage before 1039. The primary source which confirms her first marriage has not so far been identified, although the charter dated 1043 under which "Ama comitissa Burdagelensis seu Petragorice patrie" donated property in the Dordogne to the monastery of Sainte-Marie-de-la-fin-des-terres suggests that it may be correct[139]. She married secondly (Jan 1044, repudiated 1058) as his first wife, Guy-Geoffroy d'Aquitaine Comte de Gascogne, who succeeded in 1058 as Guillaume VIII Duke of Aquitaine [Guillaume VI Comte de Poitou].

B. BORDEAUX FAMILY

This family, presumably originally inhabitants of the town of Bordeaux who had adopted their name from their place of residence, consolidated its position in the local nobility by several high-profile marriages into other noble Gascon families and acquiring a portfolio of seigneuries in the area. Satisfactory reconstruction of the genealogy of the family is hindered particularly by the repeted use of the name Pierre across the generations.

1. GUILLAUME . m ---. Guillaume & his wife had one child:

a) PIERRE de Bordeaux (-after 1143). "Petrus de Burdegala, Willelmi prepositi filius…cum uxore sua Guirauda" donated property to Bordeaux Saint-Seurin by charter dated 1143[140]. m GUIRAUDE, daughter of --- (-after 1143).

2. PIERRE de Bordeaux . m MATHILDE Vicomtesse de Tartas, daughter of GARCIA de Marche & his wife ---. "Mateudis vicecomitissa de Tartas, filia Garsionis de Marcha, uxor Petri de Burdegala" donated property to Bordeaux Saint-Seurin by charter dated to [1160/85][142].

Two brothers:

7. PIERRE de Bordeaux . m ---. Pierre & his wife had one child:

a) PIERRE de Bordeaux . "Petrus de Burdegala, filius Petri prepositi" renounced royalties in favour of Bordeaux Saint-Seurin, in the presence of "uxore sua Marchisia…duobusque militibus Raimundo Arnaldi et Galardo de Burdegala" by undated charter dated to mid-12th century, which records that after the death of Pierre "fratre suo Amanevo" confirmed the donation[147]. m MARQUISE, daughter of ---. "Petrus de Burdegala, filius Petri prepositi" renounced royalties in favour of Bordeaux Saint-Seurin, in the presence of "uxore sua Marchisia…duobusque militibus Raimundo Arnaldi et Galardo de Burdegala" by undated charter dated to mid-12th century, which records that after the death of Pierre "fratre suo Amanevo" confirmed the donation[148].

b) AMANIEU de Bordeaux . "Petrus de Burdegala, filius Petri prepositi" renounced royalties in favour of Bordeaux Saint-Seurin, in the presence of "uxore sua Marchisia…duobusque militibus Raimundo Arnaldi et Galardo de Burdegala" by undated charter dated to mid-12th century, which records that after the death of Pierre "fratre suo Amanevo" confirmed the donation[149].

8. PIERRE de Bordeaux (-after 6 Jun 1214). King John confirmed the fine paid by "Petro de Burdigal" for "custodiam honoris de Blankeford et de Insul et juris qd Wills de Blankeford habuit in Burgo" and the marriage of "Assaillida filia ipsius Pet q heres est ipsius Willelmi" by charter dated 6 Jun 1214[150]. m --- [de Blanquefort], daughter of ---. King John confirmed the fine paid by "Petro de Burdigal" for "custodiam honoris de Blankeford et de Insul et juris qd Wills de Blankeford habuit in Burgo" and the marriage of "Assaillida filia ipsius Pet q heres est ipsius Willelmi" by charter dated 6 Jun 1214[151]. It is not stated in this document that Pierre’s wife was the daughter of Guillaume de Blanquefort, only that their daughter was his heir. Pierre & his wife had one child:

11. PIERRE de Bordeaux (-after 25 Jul 1262). King Henry III summoned vassals to meet "apud Pontem", including "Gailardus de Burdigala, Petrus de Burdegala", dated 25 May 1242[156]. The first testament of "el noble bar n’Amaniu de Labrit, filh de n’Amaniu de Labrid et de n’Assaride de Tartas", dated 25 Jul 1262, appoints "Pey de Bordel et na Mathe, sa fille et ma moilher" as his executors[157]. m --- de Rancon, daughter of GEOFFROY [V] de Rancon Seigneur de Taillebourg & his wife Jeanne Vicomtesse d’Aulnay (-before Aug 1258). No primary source has been found which names this person or records her marriage, but her parentage and marriage are confirmed by her daughters’ husbands receiving shares of the Rancon inheritance as confirmed by the charters quoted below. Pierre & his wife had two children:

a) MATHE de Bordeaux (-after May 1281). Her parentage and first marriage are confirmed by the testament of [her first husband] “Naiquem W. seher de Lesparra”, dated 4 May 1256, which confirmed the donation made on his marriage to “Mata sa molher” and donations made by “samolher per sin e an P. de Bordeu son paire”[158]. Her parentage and second marriage are confirmed by first testament of her husband "el noble bar n’Amaniu de Labrit, filh de n’Amaniu de Labrid et de n’Assaride de Tartas", dated 25 Jul 1262, which appoints "Pey de Bordel et na Mathe, sa fille et ma moilher" as his executors[159]. The status of her second marriage was placed in doubt by the ecclesiastical judgment dated Apr 1272 which her ordered her husband’s first wife to return to him (see above). No document has been found which indicates how the dispute was eventually resolved or what the ultimate impact was on the validity of this marriage or regarding the legitimacy of the couple’s children. The testament of “Mathe ve d’Amanjeu d’Albret”, dated May 1281, appointed “Amanjeu, Assalhite et Mathe ses enfants” as her heirs[160]. m firstly AYQUELM-GUILHEM [III] Seigneur de Lesparre, son of SENEBRUN [III] Seigneur de Lesparre & his wife Mathilde de Tonnay-Charente (-[4 May 1256/4 Nov 1259]). m secondly (after [4 May 1256/4 Nov 1259]) as his second wife, AMANIEU [VII] Seigneur d’Albret, son of AMANIEU [VI] Seigneur d’Albret & his first wife Assalide de Tartas (-after Apr 1272).

b) --- de Bordeaux (-after 3 Jan 1270). Her parentage and marriage are indicated by the charter dated 1269 under which "Hugo...Parteniaci miles" and "Guillielmus dominus de Sancta Maura miles...et nomine liberorum dicti Guillelmi" divided the succession of “defuncti Gaufridi de Ranconio senioris...ad ipsos liberos...[et] defuncti Gaufridi iunioris”, making specific provision for “Amaneus de Lebreto et Ioscelinum de Castalione milites ratione uxorum suarum”[161]. Alphonse Comte de Poitou et de Toulouse agreed that "Amanevi de Lebreto et Gaucelini de Castellione...Hugo Archiepiscopus [domino Pertiniaci]" should receive one quarter of the inheritance of "Gaufridi de Rançonio, junioris, ultimo defuncti", the proportion due to their wives, by document dated 3 Jan 1270[162]. m JOSCELIN de Castillon, son of --- (-after 3 Jan 1270).

After the death of Vicomte Vézian, his mother-in-law, Mathe de Bordeaux, wrote to Edward I King of England objecting to the inheritance of the viscountships of Lomagne and Auvillars by his sister and proposing her own son Amanieu as the preferred successor[163]. No proof has yet been found that this is the same person as Mathe de Bordeaux, wife of Amanieu [VII] Seigneur d’Albret, but this looks a likely possibility[164]. One child:

a) MARIE ANNE de Bordeaux (-after 6 Jan 1312). After the death of Vicomte Vézian, his mother-in-law, Mathe de Bordeaux, wrote to Edward I King of England objecting to the inheritance of the viscountships of Lomagne and Auvillars by his sister and proposing her own son Amanieu as the preferred successor[165]. The testament of Arnaud Garsie de Goth, dated 6 Jan 1311 (presumably O.S.), bequeathed property to “...Marie Anne demoiselle femme de Vesian de Lomagne...”[166]. m VEZIAN [III] Vicomte de Lomagne, son of ARNAUD [III Odon Vicomte de Lomagne et d’Auvillars & his second wife (-1280).

13. PIERRE de Bordeaux . m ---. Pierre & his wife had four children:

a) PIERRE AMANIEU de Bordeaux (-after 21 May 1300). Captal de Buch. The testament of “P. Amaniu captal de Buyhs, caueyr, filh qui fo...P. de --- deffunt”, dated 21 May 1300, chose burial “a Comprian”, refers to “--- de Bordeu son fraire deffuntz...la dona na Hysebe deffunte molher qui fo dou deit seynhor en P. Amanju...la dona na Maria sa seror deffunte”, bequeathed property to “Guilhem de Bordeu son frayre...lo prumer filh o filhe ..de sa molher espoze...P. de Bordeu son nebod”[167]. m firstly ISABELLE, daughter of ---. The testament of “P. Amaniu captal de Buyhs, caueyr, filh qui fo...P. de --- deffunt”, dated 21 May 1300, refers to “--- de Bordeu son fraire deffuntz...la dona na Hysebe deffunte molher qui fo dou deit seynhor en P. Amanju...la dona na Maria sa seror deffunte”[168]. m secondly ---. Her existence is suggested by the testament of [her husband] “P. Amaniu captal de Buyhs, caueyr, filh qui fo...P. de --- deffunt”, dated 21 May 1300, which bequeathed property to “Guilhem de Bordeu son frayre...lo prumer filh o filhe ..de sa molher espoze...P. de Bordeu son nebod”[169].

b) --- de Bordeaux (-before 21 May 1300). The testament of “P. Amaniu captal de Buyhs, caueyr, filh qui fo...P. de --- deffunt”, dated 21 May 1300, refers to “--- de Bordeu son fraire deffuntz...la dona na Hysebe deffunte molher qui fo dou deit seynhor en P. Amanju...la dona na Maria sa seror deffunte”[170]. m ---. Two children:

i) PIERRE [VI] de Bordeaux (-1307 or before). The testament of “P. Amaniu captal de Buyhs, caueyr, filh qui fo...P. de --- deffunt”, dated 21 May 1300, bequeathed property to “Guilhem de Bordeu son frayre...lo prumer filh o filhe ..de sa molher espoze...P. de Bordeu son nebod”[171]. It has not been confirmed that the beneficiary Pierre was the son of the testator’s unnamed deceased brother who is also named in the testament. Captal de Buch. m ([1301]) as her first husband, JEANNE de Périgord, daughter of [HELIE [IX] TALAIRAN Comte de Périgord & his first wife Philippa de Lomagne] (-after 29 May 1332). The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. However, if she was a member of the family of the Comtes de Périgord, it is chronologically consistent for her to have been the daughter of Comte Hélie [IX], by his first marriage considering the date of her own first marriage. Her absence from the testament of Comte Hélie [IX] Talairand, dated 8 Aug 1302, suggests that Jeanne may not have been his daughter[172], although this absence could be explained if she had acquired all her paternal succession rights on her first marriage which is dated before the testament. Her supposed first marriage is suggested by the act dated 1307 under which Pierre [II] de Grailly (who married firstly Assalide, sister of Pierre [VI] de Bordeaux, and was therefore heir to Pierre [VI], de iure uxoris) granted Jeanne "Petg" widow of "Pey de Bordeu" revenues in Médoc[173]. She married secondly (1307) Pons de Castillon. Her second marriage is confirmed by the letter from Edward I King of England "pro Pontio domino de Castelione", dated 26 Apr 1307, requesting papal dispensation for the marriage between "Pontium filium dicti Pontii" and "Johanam de Peregort"[174], the dispensation being required because her first husband had been the maternal uncle of her proposed second husband although this reason is not specified in the document. She married thirdly (before 1318) Sansaner des Pins Seigneur de Monheurt {Tarn-et-Garonne}. Her third marriage is indicated by a bull of Pope John XXII dated 1318 which names "Sansaniero de Pinibus et…nobili mulieri Johanne Petragoris eius uxori"[175]. "Jeanne de Périgord, veuve de Sancenier des Pins" is named in act of the parlement dated 29 May 1332[176], and a peace treaty dated 1319 between "dominum Amaneum domino de Lebreto" [Amanieu [VII] Seigneur d'Albret] on the one hand and Jeanne de Périgord and her husband "dominum Sansanerium de Pinibus militem" [Sansaner des Pins] on the other[177].

ii) ASSALIDE de Bordeaux (-1328). She was heiress of her brother. Captalesse de Buch. Testified 2 Apr 1328[178]. m firstly BERTRAND de l’Isle-Jourdain, son of JOURDAIN [V] Seigneur de l’Isle-Jourdain & his wife Guillelme de Durfort (-before 1 Sep 1307). m secondly (1 Sep 1307) as his first wife, PIERRE [II] de Grailly Seigneur de Grilly, son of PIERRE [I] de Grailly & his first wife Thalèse [Talesia] de Bouville (-1356). Seigneur de Grilly, Rolle, Ville-la-Grand, Vicomte de Castillon, Captal de Buch.

c) GUILLAUME de Bordeaux (-after 21 May 1300). The testament of “P. Amaniu captal de Buyhs, caueyr, filh qui fo...P. de --- deffunt”, dated 21 May 1300, bequeathed property to “Guilhem de Bordeu son frayre...lo prumer filh o filhe ..de sa molher espoze...P. de Bordeu son nebod”[179].

d) MARIE de Bordeaux (-before 21 May 1300). The testament of “P. Amaniu captal de Buyhs, caueyr, filh qui fo...P. de --- deffunt”, dated 21 May 1300, refers to “--- de Bordeu son fraire deffuntz...la dona na Hysebe deffunte molher qui fo dou deit seynhor en P. Amanju...la dona na Maria sa seror deffunte”[180].

14. PIERRE [IV] de Bordeaux . Seigneur de Puy-Paulin {a borough of Bordeaux, Gironde}. Seneschal of Gascony. m ASSALIDE de Rancon, daughter of ---. Pierre [IV] & his wife had one child:

a) PIERRE de Bordeaux (-[1 Apr 1305/1334]). Pierre de Bordeaux is named in a letter dated 1 Apr 1305 by the king of England to his seneschal Jean de Havering[181]. Philippe VI King of France sent a commission to the seneschal of Périgord and Quercy dated 1334 ordering payment to "Jeanne de Périgord, veuve de Pierre de Bordeaux", of an allowance of 300 francs which her husband had allowed her from the fees paid by the market at Bordeaux[182]. m JEANNE de Périgord, daughter of ARCHAMBAUD [III] Comte de Périgord & his second wife Marie d’Anduze ([1270] or after-[28 Apr 1341/Jan 1345]). The second testament of Archambaud [III] dated Sep 1295 provided for dowries for "sororem Ayramburgis filiam nostram ordinis sororum Sancte Clare…quando contraxit matrimonium cum domino Anessantio de Caulomonte…Gualhardam cum Gualhardo de La Landa…Johannam…cum Petro de Burdigala"[183]. The dates associated with her father's first and second wives indicate that Jeanne must have been born from his second marriage (which is confirmed explicitly by her marriage contract). The marriage contract between "Johana filha deu noble senhor Archambaud…compte de Peyregort et…la noble dona na Maria molhere" and "Pierre de Bordeau…filh…deu noble baron en Pierre de Bordeau" is dated 26 Jan 1290[184]. A series of charters dated 9 Nov 1316, 2 Apr 1327, 1328, 7 Sep 1329, 1340 and Apr 1341 record a lengthy dispute, and the ensuing arbitration, between "Jehanne de Perigort dame de Lavardac" and "le sire d’Albret" concerning "les lymites de Lavardac et de Nérac"[185]. Part of the seal of Jeanne de Périgord dame de Lavardac is attached to a parchment dated at Lavardac 28 Apr 1341[186]. She died before Jan 1345 when Jean Duke of Normandy (later Jean II King of France) granted property "Fauquerolles et Cauderoue" (which had been inherited by Jeanne's mother from Jeanne Ctss de Toulouse) to Cardinal Taleyrand de Périgord, the document stating that it had been handed to the English by "sa tante, feue Jeanne de Périgord"[187]. Under her testament dated 24 Aug 1342, she named her nephew Cardinal Talleyrand de Périgord as her sole legatee, with substitution in favour of her nephew Roger-Bernard Comte de Périgord[188]. Talleyrand, cardinal de Périgord, seigneur de Lavardac, granted a proxy to take possession of the property[189].

C. SEIGNEURS de BLANQUEFORT

Blanquefort is located north-west of Bordeaux near the left bank of the river Gironde. The castle of Blanquefort was presumably sold to the English crown in the latter part of the 13th century, although the precise date and circumstances of the sale have not been ascertained. King Edward II granted “castrum et villam de Blankaforti Burdegaliæ dioc.” to “Bertrandum de Guto nunc vicecomitem Leomanniæ et Alti Villaris” by charters dated 16 Jan 1313[190].

It is not stated in this document that Pierre’s wife was the daughter of Guillaume de Blanquefort, only that their daughter was his heir. m PIERRE de Bordeaux, son of --- (-after 6 Jun 1214).]

1. HUGUES de Blanquefort . m CATHERINE de Madaillon de Lesparre Dame de Pujols et de Rauzan, daughter of [--- de Madaillon & his wife --- de Lesparre]. The Documens Historiques du Rouergue records her family origin and marriage without citing any source on which the information is based[231]. The primary source which confirms this information has not been identified. If it is correct, the chronology suggests that Catherine may have been the niece of Florimont Seigneur de Lesparre, daughter of his unnamed sister. Hugues & his wife had children:

a) JEAN de Blanquefort . The Documens Historiques du Rouergue records his parentage without citing any source on which the information is based[232].

She married secondly Pons de Châteauneuf Seigneur de Chaumont. She must have died before the 18 Jul 1405 marriage contract of her son Antoine (see below). Jean & his wife had children:

i) ANTOINE de Roquefeuil (-4 Jan 1417). Seigneur de Blanquefort, Seigneur de Roquefeuil.

D. VICOMTES de FRONSAC

Fronsac is located about 40 kilometres east of Bordeaux, near Libourne, in the present-day French département of Gironde. Records of Vicomtes de Fronsac, between the mid-10th and early 14th centuries, have been found in primary sources which are extracted below. In particular, an unusual amount of information, unavailable elsewhere, is provided by the 11th century Chronique de Guîtres which records the early generations of the family. It should be noted that, in the reconstruction set out below, no information has been found in the primary sources so far consulted relating to the vicomtes de Fronsac between the early 11th and early 13th centuries.

1. ALCHIER . Seigneur de Ribérac. The Chronique de Guitres records that “Alcherius” built “castello suo, Ribbairac”[234]. m ---. The name of Alchier’s wife is not known. Alchier & his wife had two children:

a) ADACIUS [Ays] . The Chronique de Guitres names “Adaicium, secundo Aldagerium” as the two sons of “Alcherius” and his unnamed wife, adding that both brothers were granted “castellum et honorem de Sancto-Austerio” by the bishop of Périgueux[235]. Vicomte de Fronsac. The Chronique de Guitres records that “Gillermum Burdegalensem consulem” granted “castrum de Fronsiac” to “Adaicius” on his marriage[236]. m firstly ([952/62]) --- de Bordeaux, daughter of GUILLAUME Comte de Bordeaux & his wife ---. The Chronique de Guitres records that “Adaicius” married “Gillermum Burdegalensem consulem...filiam” and was granted “castrum de Fronsiac”[237]. Depoin dates the marriage to [952/62][238]. m secondly --- de Montaut, daughter of ---. The Chronique de Guitres records the second wife of “Adaicius” as “de Montealto”[239]. Adacius & his first wife had children:

i) GRIMOARD de Fronsac (-after 1012). The Chronique de Guitres names “Grimoardum vicecomitem, secundo Raymundo de Fronsiac” as the two sons of “Adaicius” by his first marriage[240]. Vicomte de Fronsac. “Grimoardo et Raimundo [...fratris eius] necnon Grimoardo et Hislono episcopis, et fratribus eorumdem Aimerico, Arnaldo, Geraldo, atque eorum consanguineo Helia Gausfredo vicario” consented to the foundation of Saint-Astier by charter dated 1012[241]. m DEA de Montignac, daughter of ---. The Chronique de Guitres records that “Grimoardus” married “de Montiniac...Dea”[242]. Grimoard & his wife had two children:

(1) ALAISIA de Fronsac . The Chronique de Guitres names “Alaaz Engolismensem comitissam et Ameliam Petragorcicorum comitissam” as the children of “Grimoardus” and his wife “de Montiniac...Dea”[243]. The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records the marriage of "Ilduinem comitem" and "comitissæ Alaiziæ", specifying that she brought "castro Fronciaco" to her husband[244]. The Historia Pontificum et Comitum Engolismensis records that "filius...Alduini...Willermus Chausardus" held "solummodo Mastacium et medietatem castri Fronciaci" after the death of his father and succession of his paternal uncle, stating that “comes Willelmus eius avus” had disinherited “filios et filias” [of Hilduin] because “uxor eiusdem Audoini” had poisoned him[245]. m HILDUIN d’Angoulême, son of GUILLAUME [IV] Comte d'Angoulême & his wife Gerberge d'Anjou (-1032 before 1 May). He succeeded his father in 1028 as Comte d'Angoulême.

(2) AMELIE de Fronsac . The Chronique de Guitres names “Alaaz Engolismensem comitissam et Ameliam Petragorcicorum comitissam” as the children of “Grimoardus” and his wife “de Montiniac...Dea”[246]. The chronology appears favourable for Amélie to have been the wife of Hélie [II] Comte de Périgord, as shown by Settipani[247], but there does not appear to be any direct proof which confirms that this is correct. m [HELIE [II] Comte de Périgord, son of BOSON [II] Comte de la Marche et de Périgord & his wife --- ([990]-after [1032/33]).

ii) RAYMOND [I] de Fronsac (-after 1012). The Chronique de Guitres names “Grimoardum vicecomitem, secundo Raymundo de Fronsiac” as the two sons of “Adaicius” by his first marriage[248]. Vicomte de Fronsac.

- see below.

iii) ADELAIDE . The Chronique de Guitres names “Alaas de Granol, alia Ermessenz de Marol, tercia Ermengars de Rochacart” as the daughters of “Adaicius” by his first marriage[249]. m --- de Grignols, son of ---.

iv) ERMESENDE . The Chronique de Guitres names “Alaas de Granol, alia Ermessenz de Marol, tercia Ermengars de Rochacart” as the daughters of “Adaicius” by his first marriage[250]. m --- de Mareuil, son of ---.

v) ERMENGARDE . The Chronique de Guitres names “Alaas de Granol, alia Ermessenz de Marol, tercia Ermengars de Rochacart” as the daughters of “Adaicius” by his first marriage[251]. “Rochacart” in this document most likely represents an abbreviated form of Rochechouart. However, no link can yet be found to the known vicomtes de Rochechouart who are shown in the document LIMOUSIN. From a chronological point of view, Ermengarde’s husband would have been of the same generation as Aimery [II] Vicomte de Rochechouart. However, the wife of Vicomte Aimery [II] is recorded elsewhere as Ermesende. It is possible that Ermengarde’s husband was a brother of Aimery [II]. Another possibility is that the Chronique de Guitres has confused the sisters Ermesende and Ermengarde de Fronsac, and that it was Ermesende who was the wife of Aimery [II]. m --- de Rochechouart, son of ---.

Adacius & his second wife had one child:

vi) ADACIUS [Ays] (-bur St Astier). The Chronique de Guitres records that “Adaicius” had “filium, quem suo vocavit nomine” by his second marriage, adding that he headed “Asteriensem...ecclesiam” for a long time and was buried “in Sancti Asterii capitulo”[252].

b) AUDEGIER . The Chronique de Guitres names “Adaicium, secundo Aldagerium” as the two sons of “Alcherius” and his unnamed wife, adding that both brothers were granted “castellum et honorem de Sancto-Austerio” by the bishop of Périgueux, and that Audager was granted “Moysidan” by “Guilhermi Talleranni, Petragoricum consulis” [may possibly refer to Guillaume [III] Comte de Périgord et d’Angoulême, who died in 962][253]. Seigneur de Mussidan.

RAYMOND [I] de Fronsac, son of ADAICIUS Vicomte de Fronsac & his first wife --- de Bordeaux (-after 1012). The Chronique de Guitres names “Grimoardum vicecomitem, secundo Raymundo de Fronsiac” as the two sons of “Adaicius” by his first marriage[254]. Vicomte de Fronsac. “Grimoardo et Raimundo [...fratris eius] necnon Grimoardo et Hislono episcopis, et fratribus eorumdem Aimerico, Arnaldo, Geraldo, atque eorum consanguineo Helia Gausfredo vicario” consented to the foundation of Saint-Astier by charter dated 1012[255].

m --- de Angle, daughter of ---. The Chronique de Guitres records that “Raymundo de Fronsiac”, son of “Adaicius” by his first marriage, married “uxorem de Angla”[256].

Raymond [I] & his wife had one child:

1. RAYMOND [II] de Fronsac . The Chronique de Guitres names “Raymundum vicecomitem” as the child of “Raymundo de Fronsiac” and his “uxorem de Angla”[257]. Vicomte de Fronsac.

1. GUILLAUME AIZ de Fronsac (-after 1209). Vicomte de Fronsac. “Willelmus Ais vicecomes de Frontiaco” wrote to the archbishop of Bordeaux relating to “ecclesiam Silve Majoris” by charter dated 1209[258].

1. RAYMOND de Fronsac (-after 14 Aug 1242). Henry III King of England agreed peace with “Remundum vicecomitem de Frunzak”, the latter providing “Willielmum Amaneni filium suum primogenitum” as hostage, by charter dated 14 Aug 1242[259]. m ---. The name of Raymond’s wife is not known. Raymond & his wife had two children:

a) --- de Fronsac (-before 1315). Vicomte de Fronsac. The name of Yolande’s husband is not known. The second charter dated 20 Apr 1315 which is quoted below suggests that he may have been “vicomte de Fronsac”, presumably descended from the earlier vicomtes de Fronsac who are shown above, as the document names “Guillielmum Amaneny de Fronciaco patruum eiusdem vicecomitis” as joint tutor of Vicomte Raymond acting together with Yolande, assuming that “patruum” is interpreted in its strict sense of paternal uncle. If that is correct, the title “vicecomitissa Frontiaci” accorded to Yolande in the charter dated 3 Mar 1315 would not indicate that she was vicomtesse in her own right. m YOLANDE de Solier, daughter of ARNAUD RAYMOND de Solier Seigneur de Belin & his wife --- (-after 3 Mar 1315). “Domina Yolendis de Solerio vicecomitissa Frontiaci, domina de Belino, filia quondam et hæres Arnaldi Reymundi de Solerio domino de Belino” appointed proxies by charter dated 3 Mar 1315[260]. One child:

i) RAYMOND . Vicomte de Fronsac. A charter dated 20 Apr 1315 records the settlement of disputes between King Edward II and “Reymundum nunc vicecomitem Fronciaci seu eius tutores”, referring to disputes between “Yolendim de Solerio” and Philippe IV King of France “super...feodis...quas Arnaldus Reymundi de Solerio pater ipsius Yolendis habebat...in Bornio tempore quo vivebat”[261]. Another charter dated 20 Apr 1315 records the settlement of disputes between King Edward I and “vicecomites Fronciaci, prædecessores Reimundi nunc vicecomitis dicti loci” concerning “restitutione castri de Burgo supra Mare”, referring to negotiations with “Yolendem matrem prædicti Reimundi et Guillielmum Amaneny de Fronciaco patruum eiusdem vicecomitis tutores testamentarios ipsius vicecomitis”[262].

b) GUILLAUME AMANIEU de Fronsac (-[after 20 Apr 1315]). Henry III King of England agreed peace with “Remundum vicecomitem de Frunzak”, the latter providing “Willielmum Amaneni filium suum primogenitum” as hostage, by charter dated 14 Aug 1242[263]. A charter dated 20 Apr 1315 records the settlement of disputes between King Edward I and “vicecomites Fronciaci, prædecessores Reimundi nunc vicecomitis dicti loci” concerning “restitutione castri de Burgo supra Mare”, referring to negotiations with “Yolendem matrem prædicti Reimundi et Guillielmum Amaneny de Fronciaco patruum eiusdem vicecomitis tutores testamentarios ipsius vicecomitis”[264]. It is unclear from the wording of this document whether Guillaume Amanieu was still alive at the date of the charter.

1. --- . Vicomte de Fronsac. This person has not yet been identified. The chronology suggests that he was Raymond Vicomte de Fronsac who is named above in charters dated 1315. Edward III King of England wrote to “vicecomiti de Fronsak” (as well as other nobles in Gascony) congratulating him on his loyalty and good work (“vestræ devotionis affectus...fidelium nostrorum testimonia, set effectus operis...”) by charter dated 25 Jul 1337[265]. It is not known whether this document relates to the same vicomte de Fronsac. m (contract 11 Aug 1323) ASSALIDE d’Albret, daughter of AMANIEU [VII] Seigneur d’Albret & his wife Rose de Bourg. The marriage contract of "Assalide d’Albret, fille de messire Amanieu sire d’Albret" and "le visconte de Fronsac" is dated 11 Aug 1323[266]. A charter dated 10 Aug 1324 confirms that "la dite dame Assalide d’Albret" received her dowry from "messire Amanieu son père et…dame Isabeau de Gironde sa mère"[267]. Presumably the reference to her mother "Isabeau de Gironde" is an error, as Rose de Bourg, wife of Amanieu [VII] Seigneur d’Albret survived her husband as shown by her testament referred to above.

E. SEIGNEURS de LESPARRE

Lesparre, known today as Lesparre-Médoc is located in the Médoc area on the left bank of the Gironde estuary, north-west of Bordeaux, in the present-day French département of Gironde. Rabanis notes that the seigneurs de Lesparre were direct vassals of the dukes of Aquitaine[268]. The seigneurial family was studied in 1966 by Trabut-Cussac[269].

1. GAUCELM . He is named as father of Gonbaud in the charter dated 1100 quoted below. m ---. The name of Gaucelm’s wife is not known. Gaucelm & his wife had one child:

a) GOMBAUD Gaucelm . He is named as father of Pierre and Raymond in the charter dated 1100 quoted below. m ---. The name of Gombaud’s wife is not known. Gombaud & his wife had two children:

i) RAYMOND Gombaud (-before 1100). He is named as deceased son of Gombaud Gaucelm and father of Gombaud Raymond and Raymond in the charter dated 1100 quoted below. m ---. The name of Raymond’s wife is not known. Raymond Gombaud & his wife had two children:

(a) GOMBAUD Raymond de Lesparre . “Petrus Gonbaldi et Gonbaldus Ramundi et Ramundus, duo fratres germani nepotes…mei de castello…Sparra” donated property in the parishes of Saint-Pierre de Tresse and Saint-Siméon de Mélac to Bordeaux Saint-André, for the souls of “patrum nostrorum…Gonbaudi Galcelmi et Ramundi Gonbaldi filii eius”, naming “Goscelinum Ramundi et Arnaldum Guillelmi de Burgo” as fiduciaries, by charter dated 1100[270].

(b) RAYMOND de Lesparre . “Petrus Gonbaldi et Gonbaldus Ramundi et Ramundus, duo fratres germani nepotes…mei de castello…Sparra” donated property in the parishes of Saint-Pierre de Tresse and Saint-Siméon de Mélac to Bordeaux Saint-André, for the souls of “patrum nostrorum…Gonbaudi Galcelmi et Ramundi Gonbaldi filii eius”, by charter dated 1100[271].

ii) PIERRE Gombaud de Lesparre (-after 1100). “Petrus Gonbaldi et Gonbaldus Ramundi et Ramundus, duo fratres germani nepotes…mei de castello…Sparra” donated property in the parishes of Saint-Pierre de Tresse and Saint-Siméon de Mélac to Bordeaux Saint-André, for the souls of “patrum nostrorum…Gonbaudi Galcelmi et Ramundi Gonbaldi filii eius”, naming “Goscelinum Ramundi et Arnaldum Guillelmi de Burgo” as fiduciaries, by charter dated 1100[272].

1. AYQUELM-GUILHEM [I] de Lesparre (-after 1130). Seigneur de Lesparre. Ayquem-Guilhem Seigneur de Lesparre authorised Geoffroy de Lauriole to construct the church of Saint-Pierre on his land in the parish of Saint-Romain d’Ordenac, l’Ile-en-Médoc, by charter dated 1130[273]. "...Stephanus de Caumont, et Petrus de Gontalt, atque Aiquelinus Guillelmi de Lesparra, et Guillelmus Elias de Insula…" subscribed the charter dated to [1127/37] under which Guillaume X Duke of Aquitaine donated rights to salt in la Pouyade and la Formentade to the abbey of Sainte-Croix de Bordeaux[274].

2. [SENEBRUN [I] “le Vieux” de Lesparre (-after 25 Jun 1175). Pope Alexander III instructed the bishop of Périgord to make “Senebrunus de Sparra” restore “villam de Solaco” to Bordeaux Sainte-Croix by bull dated 25 Jun 1175[275]. He is named “pro patruus” of Sénebrun [IV] Seigneur de Lesparre in the following document: a vidimus of “nobilis viri Senebruni nunc domini Sparre” dated 4 Nov 1259 quotes a charter dated 27 May 1249 under which “Senebrunus de Sparra miles” settled a dispute with the abbot of l’Isle-en-Médoc concerning “medietate decime de Gualhan”, which the abbot claimed had been donated by “nobili viro Senebruno seniore, pro patruo nostro, nobili viro Ayquelmo Guillelmi avo nostro”[276]. Trabut-Cussac distinguishes Sénebrun [I] (named only in 1175) from Sénebrun [II] (named only in 1195), on the basis that the latter’s brother Ayquelm-Guilhem [II] was “dominus” in the charter dated 1195 quoted below, whereas according to him the bull of Pope Alexander III was addressed alone to “Sénebrun sire de Lesparre”[277]. However, as can be seen from the extract quoted above, the Papal bull refers only to “Senebrunus de Sparra” not as “dominus”. In addition, the term “propatruus” would, in its strict sense, refer to someone in the generation preceding an individual’s “patruus”, although it could presumably also be used in the extended sense of great-great-uncle. A charter dated to [1325], relating to claims to property reserved to the second sons of the seigneurs de Lesparre, cites the precedent of “Senebrunus senior proavunculus...domini Senebruni [Sénebrun [V] de Lesparre, see below] qui fuit secundus frater”[278]. The document does not name his older brother. A further point is that the mentions of Sénebrun in 1175 and 1195 are sufficiently near in time to refer to the same person. In conclusion, the question of the separate existence of Sénebrun [I] remains open.]

Two brothers:

1. AYQUELM-GUILHEM [II] de Lesparre (-after 1195). Seigneur de Lesparre. A charter dated 1195 records the settlement of disputes by the Archbishop of Bordeaux between Bordeaux Sainte-Croix and “Aiguelmum Willelmi dominum de Lesparra et Senebrunum fratrem eius”, in particular relating to property “apud Solaco”[279]. m ---. The name of Ayquelm-Guilhem’s wife is not known. Ayquelm-Guilhem [II] & his wife had one child:

a) SENEBRUN [III] de Lesparre (-[25 May/2 Jun] 1242). Seigneur de Lesparre. “Senebrun [de Lesparre]” reached agreement with “Pierre de Bordeaux le jeune, époux de Comtor de Vayrines” concerning “la seigneurie de Mayan”, naming his father “Ayquem Wilhem bonæ memoriæ”, by charter dated 1225[280]. King Henry III summoned “Selebruno de Lesparre” to meet him "apud Pontem" by charter dated 25 May 1242[281]. The charter dated 2 Jun 1242 quoted below suggests that Sénebrun was deceased at the time. m MATHILDE de Tonnay-Charente, daughter of GEOFFROY [II] Seigneur de Tonnay-Charente & his wife --- (-after 19 Jun 1243). “Geoffroi de Tonnay frère de Mathilde et Gauvin de Tonnay son oncle paternel” petitioned King Henry III and stated that “Geoffroi de Tonnay père de Mathilde” had given her dowry on her marriage to Sénébrun de Lesparre, dated 2 and 3 Jun 1242[282]. A charter dated 19 Jun 1243 ordered restitution to “Maud late the wife of Senebrun de la Sparr” of rent which “Geoffroy de Talneo” gave with her his daughter “in marriage to the said Senebrun”[283]. Sénebrun [III] & his wife had two children:

i) AYQUELM-GUILHEM [III] de Lesparre (-[4 May 1256/4 Nov 1259]). Seigneur de Lesparre. Ayquem-Guilhem Seigneur de Lesparre and “son fils Arnaud-Ayquem” founded the convent of Lesparre Saint-François by charter dated 1239[284]. Trabut-Cussac suggests that this document is misdated, preferring 1249[285]. He does not specify the reasons for his suggestion, but from a chronological point of view the later date is preferable considering the seven children born to Ayquelm-Guilhem’s widow by her second husband. The testament of “Naiquem W. seher de Lesparra”, dated 4 May 1256, confirmed the donation made on his marriage to “Mata sa molher” and donations made by “samolher per sin e an P. de Bordeu son paire” and by “Senebruns ses paire que fo”, and bequeathed property for the marriage of “Marquesa sa filha”[286]. He died before 4 Nov 1259, the date of the vidimus which names “nobilis viri Senebruni nunc domini Sparre” (see below). m as her first husband, MATHE de Bordeaux, daughter of PIERRE de Bordeaux Captal de Buch & his wife --- de Rancon (-after May 1281). Her parentage and first marriage are confirmed by the testament of [her first husband] “Naiquem W. seher de Lesparra”, dated 4 May 1256, which confirmed the donation made on his marriage to “Mata sa molher” and donations made by “samolher per sin e an P. de Bordeu son paire”[287]. She married secondly as his second wife, Amanieu [VII] Seigneur d’Albret. Her parentage and second marriage are confirmed by the first testament of her second husband "el noble bar n’Amaniu de Labrit, filh de n’Amaniu de Labrid et de n’Assaride de Tartas", dated 25 Jul 1262, which appoints "Pey de Bordel et na Mathe, sa fille et ma moilher" as his executors[288]. The testament of “Mathe ve d’Amanjeu d’Albret”, dated May 1281, appointed “Amanjeu, Assalhite et Mathe ses enfants” as her heirs[289]. Ayquelm-Guilhem [III] & his wife had two children:

(a) ARNAUD-AYQUELM de Lesparre (-before 4 May 1256). Ayquem-Guilhem Seigneur de Lesparre and “son fils Arnaud-Ayquem” founded the convent of Lesparre Saint-François by charter dated 1239[290]. Trabut-Cussac suggests that this document is misdated, preferring 1249[291]. He does not specify the reasons for his suggestion, but from a chronological point of view the later date is preferable considering the seven children born to Ayquelm-Guilhem’s widow by her second husband.

(b) MARQUESE de Lesparre (-after 4 May 1256). The testament of “Naiquem W. seher de Lesparra”, dated 4 May 1256, equeathed property for the marriage of “Marquesa sa filha”[292]. She predeceased her mother as shown by the latter’s testament dated May 1281 quoted above.

ii) SENEBRUN [IV] de Lesparre (-[1 Jan/30 Sep] 1282). Seigneur de Lesparre. A vidimus of “nobilis viri Senebruni nunc domini Sparre” dated 4 Nov 1259 quotes a charter dated 27 May 1249 under which “Senebrunus de Sparra miles” settled a dispute with the abbot of l’Isle-en-Médoc concerning “medietate decime de Gualhan”, which the abbot claimed had been donated by “nobili viro Senebruno seniore, pro patruo nostro, nobili viro Ayquelmo Guillelmi avo nostro”, sealed by “sigilla nobilis viri Ayquelmi Guillelmi domini Sparre fratris nostre”[293].

- see below.

iii) AUMOYS de Lesparre . Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 23 Apr 1280 under which [her brother] “Lo noble baro en Senebru senhor de Lesparra” noted that he had given “Campgran” to “dona Maymoys sa sor” on her marriage to “lo senh en W. Seguin Darrions son marit”[294]. m (after [4 May 1256/4 Nov 1259]) GUILLAUME Seguin de Rions, son of ---.

2. SENEBRUN [II] de Lesparre (-after 1195). A charter dated 1195 records the settlement of disputes by the Archbishop of Bordeaux between Bordeaux Sainte-Croix and “Aiguelmum Willelmi dominum de Lesparra et Senebrunum fratrem eius”, in particular relating to property “apud Solaco”[295].

SENEBRUN [IV] de Lesparre, son of SENEBRUN [III] Seigneur de Lesparrre & his wife Mathilde de Tonnay-Charente (-[1 Jan/30 Sep] 1282). Seigneur de Lesparre. A vidimus of “nobilis viri Senebruni nunc domini Sparre” dated 4 Nov 1259 quotes a charter dated 27 May 1249 under which “Senebrunus de Sparra miles” settled a dispute with the abbot of l’Isle-en-Médoc concerning “medietate decime de Gualhan”, which the abbot claimed had been donated by “nobili viro Senebruno seniore, pro patruo nostro, nobili viro Ayquelmo Guillelmi avo nostro”, sealed by “sigilla nobilis viri Ayquelmi Guillelmi domini Sparre fratris nostre”[296]. “Lo noble baro en Senebru senhor de Lesparra” acknowledged that “Montinhac...Trossas...Galhan...La Fontana...Batbertram...Campgran” (the last named which he had granted to “dona Maymoys sa sor” on her marriage to “lo senh en W. Seguin Darrions son marit”) formed part of the traditional inheritance of the second son of the seigneur de Lesparre and granted them to “Senebrun son segont filh e premier filh de lui e de la dona Nagne sa molher filha qui fo deu senhor en P. de Gavarret”, and if he died to “Bernot son autre filh, fraire german deudeyt Senebrun...frayres menors de Lesparra”, by charter dated 23 Apr 1280[297].

m firstly [AGNES] de Mirambeau, daughter of ---. She is named as the wife of Sénebrun [IV] by Rabanis who notes that her father established “une dot hypothéquée sur la terre de Cognac” in her favour[298]. As Rabanis does not mention Sénebrun’s second marriage, it is possible that he has confused her name with the name of his first wife. Her family origin is suggested by the charter dated 30 Sep 1282 which records the settlement of a dispute between “la dona Nagnes molher qui fo deu noble baron en Senebrun senhor de Lesparra qui fo, tant per sin que per Senebrun e per Bernart sos filhs” and “lo noble baron Nayquem Wilhem filh e hereter deudit senhor en Senebrun qui fo” concerning “lo maridatge eu don degut ala deita dona Nagnes”, with the consent of “deus nobles senhors Nartaut senhor de Mirambeu e den Guitqard de Borc senhor de Vertujh, cavoirs”[299]. This document suggests that her son may still have been a minor at that date, under the guardianship of the two persons who gave their consent to the settlement, the former being a member of the Mirambeau family.

m secondly AGNES de Gabarret, daughter of PIERRE Seigneur de Gabarret & his wife --- (-after Sep 1282). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 23 Apr 1280 under which [her husband] “Lo noble baro en Senebru senhor de Lesparra” acknowledged that “Montinhac...Trossas...Galhan...La Fontana...Batbertram...Campgran” formed part of the traditional inheritance of the second son of the seigneur de Lesparre and granted them to “Senebrun son segont filh e premier filh de lui e de la dona Nagne sa molher filha qui fo deu senhor en P. de Gavarret”, and if he died to “Bernot son autre filh, fraire german deudeyt Senebrun...frayres menors de Lesparra”[300]. A charter dated 30 Sep 1282 records the settlement of a dispute between “la dona Nagnes molher qui fo deu noble baron en Senebrun senhor de Lesparra qui fo, tant per sin que per Senebrun e per Bernart sos filhs” and “lo noble baron Nayquem Wilhem filh e hereter deudit senhor en Senebrun qui fo” concerning “lo maridatge eu don degut ala deita dona Nagnes”, with the consent of “deus nobles senhors Nartaut senhor de Mirambeu e den Guitqard de Borc senhor de Vertujh, cavoirs”[301].

Sénebrun [IV] & his first wife had one child:

1. AYQUELM-GUILHEM [IV] de Lesparre (-[1287]). Seigneur de Lesparre. A charter dated 30 Sep 1282 records the settlement of a dispute between “la dona Nagnes molher qui fo deu noble baron en Senebrun senhor de Lesparra qui fo, tant per sin que per Senebrun e per Bernart sos filhs” and “lo noble baron Nayquem Wilhem filh e hereter deudit senhor en Senebrun qui fo” concerning “lo maridatge eu don degut ala deita dona Nagnes”, with the consent of “deus nobles senhors Nartaut senhor de Mirambeu e den Guitqard de Borc senhor de Vertujh, cavoirs”[302]. This document suggests that Ayquelm-Guilhem [V] may still have been a minor at that date, under the guardianship of the two persons who gave their consent to the settlement, the former being a member of the Mirambeau family and the latter Ayquelm-Guilhem’s future father-in-law. His wife’s testament dated 14 Nov 1287 suggests that Ayquelm-Guillem was deceased at the time. m (after 30 Sep 1282) as her first husband, ROSE de Bourg Dame de Verteuil et de Veyres, daughter of GERARD [Guitard] de Bourg Seigneur de Vertheuil et de Vayres & his wife Thomasse Gombaut dame de Veyres (-after 6 Jun 1326). She married secondly Amanieu [VIII] Seigneur d’Albret. The marriage contract between “Amanjeu d’Albret” and “Rose de Vayres fille de Guiraud de Borc Sgr de Berteuil, vve de Nacquem W. Sgr de Lesparre” is dated 15 Jan 1287 (O.S.)[303]. Her parentage and first marriage are confirmed by the testament of "messire Gérard de Bourg", which is dated 1282 and appoints "Rousse sa fille" as her heir, the record of the document adding that "despuis, feust maryée au seigneur d’Albret"[304]. Rose’s testament dated 14 Nov 1287 appointed “son fils unique Ayquelm-Guilhem” as her heir[305]. Rose’s testament dated 16 Feb 1297 (O.S.) named her son by her first marriage and “Amanieu, Bernadetz, Arnaud-Amanieu et Jeanne d’Albret” children by her second marriage[306]. The testament of "dame Rouze de Bourg dame d’Albret" is dated 6 Jun 1326 and appoints "Bernardetz son premier fils seigneur d’Albret" as her heir, and bequeathes "la seigneurie de Cubsac" to "Eyquem Guilhaume seigneur de Lesparre, fils de son premier mary", "la seigneurie de Verteuil" to "messire Guitard d’Albret son fils d’autre marriage" and "les seigneuries de Vayres et de Marcaulx" to "messire Berard d’Albret aussy son fils"[307]. Ayquelm-Guillaume [IV] & his wife had one child:

a) AYQUELM-GUILHEM [V] de Lesparre ([1284/87]-1324). Rose’s testament dated 14 Nov 1287 appointed “son fils unique Ayquelm-Guilhem” as her heir[308]. Seigneur de Lesparre. “Ayquem Willam syre de Lespara” requested compensation from the king of England for war damages by charter dated 1 Apr, before 1305)[309]. The testament of "dame Rouze de Bourg dame d’Albret", dated 6 Jun 1326, bequeathes "la seigneurie de Cubsac" to "Eyquem Guilhaume seigneur de Lesparre, fils de son premier mary"[310]. Seigneur de Cussac. m MARGUERITE de Castillon, daughter of PONS Vicomte de Castillon & his wife ---. Rabanis states that Ayquelm-Guilhem married “Marguerite fille de Pons vicomte de Castillon” in 1303[311]. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified. Ayquelm-Guilhem [V] & his wife had three children:

i) SENEBRUN [VI] de Lesparre (-[1362]). Seigneur de Lesparre. m ([1331]) JEANNE de Périgord, daughter of [HELIE [IX] TALLEYRAND Comte de Périgord & his second wife Brunissende de Foix]. Rabanis records an undated agreement under which “[le] seigneur de Calons” swore homage to [her son] Florimont Seigneur de Lesparre which names “Dona Na Johanna de Peyreguort sa mayre qui fò”[312]. Rabanis notes that a charter in the early 17th century compilation Inventaire des titres de Lesparre records in 1331 the marriage of Sénebrun [VI] de Lesparre and “Jeanne sœur d’Archambaud de Greyli, comte de Périgord”, noting the Grailly/Périgord contradiction in this phrase and highlighting that such errors are typical of the manuscript[313]. As can be seen in the document ANGOULÊME, Archambaud [IV] was comte de Périgord in 1331, while the seigneur de Grailly was Pierre [II] who had married the sister of Comte Archambaud [IV]. Assuming that Sénebrun’s wife was a member of the Périgord comital family, it would be chronologically consistent if she had been one of the younger children of Hélie [IX] Comte de Périgord and sister of Comte Archambaud [IV]. Sénebrun [VI] & his wife had three children:

(a) AYQUELM-GUILHEM de Lesparre (-after 30 Jul 1357). King Edward III addressed his sénéchal in Gascony to hear the claim made by “Ivonis de Kerembars, armigeri de Britannia” who had captured “Aquem Guillem filium domini de la Sparre” at the battle of Poitiers, dated 30 Jul 1357[314]. Rabanis comments that it is unknown whether Ayquelm-Guilhem was his father’s older or younger son, although his being named after his paternal grandfather appears consistent with his being the oldest son[315]. Rabanis also speculates that this person may have been the same as “le bourc [bâtard] de Lesparre dont Froissart parle en plus d’un endroit”, although his family name suggests that he was the legitimate heir.

(b) FLORIMONT de Lesparre (-after 8 Apr 1394). Seigneur de Lesparre. Guillaume de Machaut names “chevalier…Florimont de L’Esparre…sires” among those who took part in an expedition organised by Pierre King of Cyprus in 1365/66[316]. A charter dated 12 Jul 1383 records the contributions owed by Gascon nobles to the war effort, subscribed by “...Florimundus dominus de l’Esparre...”, as well as his contribution[317]. A charter dated 8 Apr 1394 records a safe conduct pass for “Florimundus dominus de le Sparre”[318]. m (before [1362]) MARGUERITE d’Astarac, daughter of CENTULE [IV] Comte d’Astarac & his wife Mathe de Fézensaguet. Rabanis states that Florimont was already married to “Marguerite d’Astarac” when he succeeded his father[319]. Pope Urban V addressed letters of absolution to “nobili mulieri Margarete uxori…nobilis viri Florimundi domini de Sparra, Burdigalensis diœcesis” dated 14 Mar 1365[320].

(c) --- de Lesparre . Rabanis records that, after the death of Florimont Seigneur de Lesparre, the seigneurie was inherited by “[le] fils de sa sœur Amanieu de Madailhan” and afterwards by “un de ses cousins, de la famille des Lesparre de la Barde, qui la vendit au roi d’Angleterre”[321]. m --- Seigneur de Madailhan, son of ---. [Two] children:

(1) [CATHERINE de Madaillon de Lesparre . Dame de Pujols et de Rauzan. The Documens Historiques du Rouergue records her family origin and marriage without citing any source on which the information is based[322]. The primary source which confirms this information has not been identified. If it is correct, the chronology suggests that Catherine may have been the niece of Florimont Seigneur de Lesparre, daughter of his unnamed sister. The likely marriage date of Catherine’s son suggests that she was considerably older than her supposed brother Guilhem-Amanieu, unless as suggested below the latter’s marriage to Jeanne d’Armagnac was his second marriage. m HUGUES de Blanquefort, son of ---.]

(2) GUILHEM-AMANIEU de Madailhan (-before 11 Apr 1415). The testament of Florimont Seigneur de Lesparre appointed “Guilhem-Amanieu sire de Madailhan, Rauzan et Pujols, fils de sa sœur et ses enfants mâles” as his heir, who “devait porter le nom et les armes de Lesparre”[323]. Seigneur de Madaillon. Seigneur de Lesparre. m (contract 19 Feb 1409) JEANNE d’Armagnac, daughter of JEAN [III] Comte d’Armagnac & his wife Marguerite de Comminges (-after 11 Apr 1415). Père Anselme notes her marriage contract dated 19 Feb 1408 (O.S.?)[324]. This date seems late for a first marriage of Guilhem-Amanieu de Madailhan, considering the marriage date of his maternal uncle Florimont Seigneur de Lesparre, which could suggest an otherwise unrecorded earlier marriage. “Jeanne d’Armagnac dame de Lesparre et Rauzan” complained to the government of Bordeaux of raids on Lesparre by letter dated 27 Dec 1414[325]. A letter from Henry V King of England dated 11 Apr 1415 records that “dame Jeanne d’Armagnac, qui fut femme audit sire de Lesparre...Guilhem-Amanieu” proposed the marriage of her daughter “au fils du...sire d’Albret”[326]. Guilhem-Amanieu & his wife had one child:

a. daughter . A letter from Henry V King of England dated 11 Apr 1415 records that “dame Jeanne d’Armagnac, qui fut femme audit sire de Lesparre...Guilhem-Amanieu” proposed the marriage of her daughter “au fils du...sire d’Albret”[327]. King Henry V addressed the mayor of Bordeaux concering the dispute between “le sire de La Barde” and “la fille de Guilhem-Amanieu naguère sire de Lesparre” concerning the right to Lesparre and ordered the seizure of the town, castle and baronny, by letter dated 31 May 1415[328].

ii) JEAN de Lesparre . A charter dated to [1325] set out arguments in favour of the claim of “Johanne secundo fratre Senebruni domini de Sparra qui nunc est” against “Bernardum de Sparra filium Bernardi de Sparra defuncti” regarding properties reserved to the second son of the seigneur de Lesparre[329].

iii) ROSE de Lesparre . The testament of Florimont Seigneur de Lesparre appointed “le seigneur de Preyssac, soudan de la Trau, fils de Rose sœur de son père Cénebrun et sa lignée masculine” as first substitute heir[330]. m --- Seigneur de Preyssac, son of ---. One child:

(a) --- de Preyssac . The testament of Florimont Seigneur de Lesparre appointed “le seigneur de Preyssac, soudan de la Trau, fils de Rose sœur de son père Cénebrun et sa lignée masculine” as first substitute heir[331]. Seigneur de Preyssac.

Sénebrun [IV] & his second wife had two children:

2. SENEBRUN [V] de Lesparre (-after 30 Sep 1282). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 23 Apr 1280 under which [his father] “Lo noble baro en Senebru senhor de Lesparra” acknowledged that “Montinhac...Trossas...Galhan...La Fontana...Batbertram...Campgran” formed part of the traditional inheritance of the second son of the seigneur de Lesparre and granted them to “Senebrun son segont filh e premier filh de lui e de la dona Nagne sa molher filha qui fo deu senhor en P. de Gavarret”, and if he died to “Bernot son autre filh, fraire german deudeyt Senebrun...frayres menors de Lesparra”[332]. A charter dated 30 Sep 1282 records the settlement of a dispute between “la dona Nagnes molher qui fo deu noble baron en Senebrun senhor de Lesparra qui fo, tant per sin que per Senebrun e per Bernart sos filhs” and “lo noble baron Nayquem Wilhem filh e hereter deudit senhor en Senebrun qui fo” concerning “lo maridatge eu don degut ala deita dona Nagnes”[333].

3. BERNAT [I] de Lesparre (-[1324?]). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 23 Apr 1280 under which [his father] “Lo noble baro en Senebru senhor de Lesparra” acknowledged that “Montinhac...Trossas...Galhan...La Fontana...Batbertram...Campgran” formed part of the traditional inheritance of the second son of the seigneur de Lesparre and granted them to “Senebrun son segont filh e premier filh de lui e de la dona Nagne sa molher filha qui fo deu senhor en P. de Gavarret”, and if he died to “Bernot son autre filh, fraire german deudeyt Senebrun...frayres menors de Lesparra”[334]. A charter dated 30 Sep 1282 records the settlement of a dispute between “la dona Nagnes molher qui fo deu noble baron en Senebrun senhor de Lesparra qui fo, tant per sin que per Senebrun e per Bernart sos filhs” and “lo noble baron Nayquem Wilhem filh e hereter deudit senhor en Senebrun qui fo” concerning “lo maridatge eu don degut ala deita dona Nagnes”[335]. The estimated date of the [1325] charter quoted below suggests that the issue of inheritance of properties due to the second son of the seigneur de Lesparre had arisen because of the death of Bernat [I]. m ---. The name of Bernat’s wife is not known. Bernat [I] & his wife had [five or more] children:

a) BERNAT [II] de Lesparre . A charter dated to [1325] set out arguments in favour of the claim of “Johanne secundo fratre Senebruni domini de Sparra qui nunc est” against “Bernardum de Sparra filium Bernardi de Sparra defuncti” regarding properties reserved to the second son of the seigneur de Lesparre[336].

b) sons . Their existence is confirmed by another charter dated to [1325], relating to the claim by “Johanne secundo fratre Senebruni domini de Sparra qui nunc est” against “Bernardum de Sparra filium Bernardi de Sparra defuncti” regarding properties reserved to the second son of the seigneur de Lesparre, which names “Bernardum de Sparra filium et heredum Bernardi de Sparra defuncti...[et] aliis fratribus et sororibus suis”[337].

c) daughters . Their existence is confirmed by another charter dated to [1325], relating to the claim by “Johanne secundo fratre Senebruni domini de Sparra qui nunc est” against “Bernardum de Sparra filium Bernardi de Sparra defuncti” regarding properties reserved to the second son of the seigneur de Lesparre, which names “Bernardum de Sparra filium et heredum Bernardi de Sparra defuncti...[et] aliis fratribus et sororibus suis”[338].

As noted above, the succession to Lesparre after the death of Florimont, was established by his testament which named five successive successors: (1) “Guilhem-Amanieu sire de Madailhan, Rauzan et Pujols, fils de sa sœur et ses enfants mâles” as his heir, who as noted above died without male heirs, (2) “le seigneur de Preyssac, soudan de la Trau, fils de Rose sœur de son père Cénebrun et sa lignée masculine”, (3) “le seigneur de Curton et ses descendants mâles”, (4) “Bernard de Lesparre, sire de La Barde, et ses enfants mâles”, and (5) “son plus prochain lignager, à défaut des précédents”[339]. Clary & Bodin records that, after the death of (1), the succession was disputed between (4) and (2) “la maison de Preyssac de La Trau représentée par deux filles” of which “Isabeau” had married “Bernard de Montferrant” and the other “Jeanne” had sold her rights to “Gaston de Foix, tige de la maison de Candale”, noting that (3) “la maison de Curton...venait elle aussi de tomber en quenouille”, both claims being challenged by Jeanne d’Armagnac widow of Guilhem-Amanieu de Madaillon on behalf of her daughter[340]. Clary & Bodin discuss the intervention in the dispute of Henry V King of England who annexed Lesparre to the duchy of Guyenne after Jeanne d’Armagnac and Bernard de La Barde ceded their rights to the king who received homage as seigneur de Lesparre in 1417[341]. “Bertrand de Montferrant”, husband of Isabelle de La Trau, also renounced his claim to Lesparre but his son Pierre revived the claim and adopted the title seigneur de Lesparre in 1444[342].

1. BERTRAND de Montferrand . As noted above, Clary & Bodin names the husband of Isabelle de La Trau as Bernard and Bertrand in different passages. m firstly MARGUERITE d’Astarac, daughter of JEAN [I] Comte d’Astarac & his second wife Maubrosse de la Barthe. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified. m secondly ISABELLE de Preyssac de La Trau, daughter of --- de Preyssac de La Trau Seigneur de Preyssac & his wife ---. The primary source which records Isabelle’s precise parentage has not been identified. The chronology suggests that she was the granddaughter of Rose de Lesparre who is named above. Bertrand & his second wife had one child:

a) PIERRE de Montferrand (-beheaded Poitiers 1454). Seigneur de Lesparre. Clary & Bodin note that, although Pierre de Montferrant adopted the title seigneur de Lesparre in 1444, he did not possess the seigneurie which was granted to him 24 Jul 1453 after he successfully captured Lesparre castle from the French[343]. The forces of Charles VII King of France recaptured the town of Lesparre 9 Oct 1453, Pierre de Montferrant being captured, imprisoned at Poitiers, tried and beheaded there[344]. m MARY, illegitimate daughter of JOHN of Lancaster Duke of Bedford & his mistress --- (-after 12 Aug 1457). King Henry VI mandated the payment of a pension to “Marye daughter of oure...uncle late duc de Bedford” after she showed “losses...sith the dethe of Perys Mountferraunt lorde de la Sparre late her husbande, which was slayne in oure werres in oure duchie of Guyenn”, dated 12 Aug 1457[345].

Chapter 3. VICOMTES de GABARRET

The vicomté of Gabarret was formed in the early 11th century and included "les pays de Garbardan et de Parlebosc" in north-central Gascony[346]. The family of the vicomtes de Gabarret briefly inherited the vicomté of Béarn in the mid-12th century.

DONAT Aner, son of [ANER [Aznar] Sancho & his wife ---] (-after Nov 982). "…Donati Asnario…" subscribed a charter dated Nov 982, under which property was donated to Réole, "regnante Guillelmo Sancio comite, captinentia Arnaldo vicecomiti"[347]. According to Jaurgain, he was the son of Aner [Aznar] Sancho[348]. However, this hypothesis appears to be based only on linking the patronymic, on the assumption that Aner [Aznar] Sancho was the only contemporary of that name in Gascony, without appears to be a bold assumption to make without further evidence.

m ---. The name of Donat’s wife is not known.

Donat Aner & his wife had [one] child:

1. [ARNAUD Donat (-after [1030]). There appears to be no direct proof that Arnaud Donat Vicomte de Gabarret was the son of Donat Aner, particularly as the latter is not linked to Gabarret in the only document in which he is named. "…Arnaldus Donati vicecomes Gavarreti…" granted privileges to the abbey of Saint-Lupère d’Eauze by charter dated by Jaurgain to [1030][349]. Vicomte de Gabarret.] m ---. The name of Arnaud’s wife is not known. Arnaud Donat & his wife had [three] children:

a) ROGER (-[1045] or after). Vicomte de Gabarret. The Historia Abbatiæ Condomensis names "vicecomitem Rugerium de Gavaret" as donor of property to Condom, dated to the early 11th century from the context[350]. ["Rotgarius et uxor mea Adalaice" donated "alodum hereditatis nostræ…Sanctum Vincentium" to Saint-Pierre La Réole by undated charter, dated in the compilation to [990][351]. It is not known whether this charter refers to Roger Vicomte de Gabarret, but this appears unlikely if the estimated dating is correct. Jaurgain dates the document to [1035], but does explain his reasoning[352].] "Vicecomitum Rugerium de Gavaret" was guarantor for Guillaume [II] Astanove Comte de Fezensac when abandoning the honour of Cahuzac to the abbot of Condom, dated to [1045][353]. m firstly --- (-before [1038]). The name of Roger’s first wife is not known. This first marriage is strongly suggested by the absence of the brothers Pierre Roger and Arnaud Roger from the charters in which Vicomte Roger’s wife is Adelais and her sons are named. m secondly ([1038]) ADELAIS, separated wife of GASTON [III] Vicomte de Béarn, daughter of --- (-after 1064). Her marriage is confirmed by the charter of her son "Unaldus Bruliensium vicecomes" dated 1062, donating property to Cluny, with the advice of "genetricis meæ domne Adaleidis et fratris mei Hugonis vicecomitis", for the souls of "genitoris mei Rotgerii et avunculi mei Saxetonis, Aginnensis ecclesiæ quondam decani"[354]. Her first marriage is suggested by the charter dated 3 Mar 1055 under which "Bernardus comes…cognomento Tumapalerius" and "nepote meo Centullo …" founded the monastery of Saint-Mont[355]. Assuming that nepos should be interpreted in its strict sense, Centule's mother would have been the sister of Bernard Comte d'Armagnac. However, the unresolved question is whether Adelais was Bernard's full sister, in which case she was Adelais d'Armagnac, daughter of Géraud [I] Comte d'Armagnac & his wife ---, or his uterine half-sister. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[356], she was Adelais de Lomagne, daughter of Arnaud [II] Vicomte de Lomagne & his wife. Presumably this is extrapolated from the charter dated to [1062] under which "Oddo de Lomania frater Bernardi comitis Armaniacensis" donated property to the monastery of Saint-Mont[357]. There appears to be no way of deciding which interpretation is correct. The primary source which confirms that Adelais, wife of Vicomte Gaston, was the same person as Adelais, wife of Vicomte Roger, has not yet been identified. Roger & his first wife had two children:

i) PIERRE Roger de Gabarret (-17 Apr 1097). His parentage is indicated by the charter dated 3 Mar 1055 under which "…Petrus Rogerius vice comes Gavaredi…" supported the foundation of the monastery of Saint-Mont by "Bernardus comes…cognomento Tumapalerius" and "nepote meo Centullo …"[358]. Vicomte de Gabarret.

- see below.

ii) ARNAUD Roger de Gabarret (-after [1100]). "Petrus Gavardensis vicecomes" founded the priory of Gabarret, and donated it to the abbey of la Grande-Sauve, by charter dated to [1080], subscribed by "Arnaldi Rogerii fratris vicecomitis ipsius…Petri de Gavaretto cusini vicecomitis…"[359]. "Arnalt Rogerii fratris vicecomitis, Agnetem uxoris eius, Petri filii eius" signed the charter dated after the death of "Petrus vicecomes de Gavarreto" in 1097, under which "uxor eius" donated the church of Sainte-Marie de Dému to the archbishop of Auch[360]. "Agnes vicecomitissa, Petri Gavarreti mater" donated property to Grande-Selve, confirmed by "Petrus vicecomes Gavarreti filius eius et uxor ipsius et Rogerius et Arnaldus fratr. ipsius Petri et Arnaldus Rogerius avuncul. ipsius vicecom.", when leaving on pilgrimage for Jerusalem, by undated charter[361].

Roger & his second wife had [three] children:

iii) HUGUES (-after 16 Nov 1064). "Hugo vicecomes Pruliensis et mater mea domna Adalaidis et meus consanguineus Petrus" donated four churches "in pago Pruliensi sitas…villa…Alairicus super ripam fluminis…Lertius…et…in villa…Casales, et tercia…in villa…Pressiacus, et quarta in villa…Veziacus" to Cluny by charter dated 16 Nov 1064[362]. His precise parentage is confirmed by the charter of his brother "Unaldus Bruliensium vicecomes" dated 1062, donating property with the advice of "genetricis meæ domne Adaleidis et fratris mei Hugonis vicecomitis", for the souls of "genitoris mei Rotgerii et avunculi mei Saxetonis, Aginnensis ecclesiæ quondam decani"[363]. Vicomte de Brulhois. Hugues Vicomte de Brulhois donated property on his deathbed to Saint-Martin de Layrac, his brother Hunald and the other monks, in the presence of vicomtesse Adalais his mother[364].

iv) HUNALD (-after Mar 1105). "Unaldus Bruliensium vicecomes" donated property "ecclesiam…Alairicum…in pago Aginnensi" to Cluny, with the advice of "genetricis meæ domne Adaleidis et fratris mei Hugonis vicecomitis", for the souls of "genitoris mei Rotgerii et avunculi mei Saxetonis, Aginnensis ecclesiæ quondam decani", by charter dated 1062 before Sep, signed by "Adalert genitrix mea, Hugo vicecomes frater meus, Willelmus Arnaldi et filius eius Petrus, Garsia Arnal cognomento Guailard, Willelmus Siguini et frater eius, Rodlannus et filii eius, Willelmus Garsia et filii eius"[365]. Hugues Vicomte de Brulhois donated property on his deathbed to Saint-Martin de Layrac, his brother Hunald and the other monks, in the presence of vicomtesse Adalais his mother[366]. Centule [V] Vicomte de Béarn captured Hunald and cut off his arm, considering himself prejudiced by his half-brother’s donation[367]. Abbot of Moissac 1072-1085. By charter dated Mar 1105, Hunald declared that he had acquired part of the forest of Baynes from his brother Hugues, such acquisition being later confirmed by his cousin Bernard Raymond de Durfort, and donated the property to the abbey of Layrac with the consent of "Bernard de Durfort et ses frères Saxet et Guillaume Saxet"[368]. "Garsende femme de Bernard-Gauthier de Puybarrac et sœur de Bernard, Saxet et Guillaume-Saxet de Durfort" donated "le bien de Grassel" to Saint-Martin de Layrac, and "Bernard de Durfort, neveu de Hunald" donated revenue from the parish of Baynes[369].

v) [OLIBA (-after [1088]). "Femina…Oliba…soror…Centulli comitis Bigorrensis…et vicecomitis Viernensis" donated property to the monastery of Saint-Mont by charter dated to [1088][370]. It is not known whether Oliba was the full sister or uterine half-sister of Centule.]

b) [SAXETON (-before Sep 1062). His parentage is suggested by the charter dated 1062, before Sep, under which "Unaldus Bruliensium vicecomes" donated property to Cluny for the souls of "…avunculi mei Saxetonis, Aginnensis ecclesiæ quondam decani"[371]. However, if the word "avunculus" is interpreted in its strict meaning in this document, Saxeton would have been the donor’s maternal uncle. However, it cannot be assumed that such a strict translation is appropriate. Doyen of the church of Agen.]

c) GUILLAUME Arnaud (-after 1062)[372]. He is named as father of Pierre in the charter dated 1062 under which "Unaldus Bruliensium vicecomes" donated property to Cluny, signed by "…Willelmus Arnaldi et filius eius Petrus…"[373]. His relationship to the Gabarret family is confirmed by the charter dated 16 Nov 1064, under which "Hugo vicecomes Pruliensis et mater mea domna Adalaidis et meus consanguineus Petrus", donated property to Cluny[374]. It is assumed that Guillaume was related on the paternal side of the family because of the patronymic attributed to him in the 1062 document, and that he was the son of Arnaud Donat. A more remote relationship is not impossible, although it appears to be excluded by the charter dated to [1080] subscribed by his son Pierre (see below). m ---. The name of Guillaume’s wife is not known. Guillaume Arnaud & his wife had one child:

i) PIERRE de Gabarret (-after [1080]). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 1062 under which "Unaldus Bruliensium vicecomes" donated property to Cluny, signed by "…Willelmus Arnaldi et filius eius Petrus…"[375]. His relationship to the Gabarret family is confirmed by the charter dated 16 Nov 1064 under which "Hugo vicecomes Pruliensis et mater mea domna Adalaidis et meus consanguineus Petrus" donated four churches to Cluny[376]. His relationship on the paternal side of the family is confirmed by the charter dated to [1080] under which "Petrus Gavardensis vicecomes" founded the priory of Gabarret, subscribed by "…Petri de Gavaretto cusini vicecomitis…"[377], although the unusual word "cusini" suggests that all may not be right with this charter. same person as…? PIERRE (-after 8 Aug 1115). Prior of Moirax. A charter dated 8 Aug 1115 records that "Petrus vicecomes", following the example of "Petrus vicecomites Gavaritanus…pater", pillaged the land of "pater…consanguineus domni Petri prioris" (of Moirax) whom he captured, and that "Petrus vicecomes cum uxore mea Guiscarda" were obliged to return the lands to the monastery[378].

PIERRE Roger, son of ROGER Vicomte de Gabarret & his first wife --- (-17 Apr 1097). His parentage is indicated by the charter dated 3 Mar 1055 under which "…Petrus Rogerius vice comes Gavaredi…" supported the foundation of the monastery of Saint-Mont by "Bernardus comes…cognomento Tumapalerius" and "nepote meo Centullo …"[379]. Vicomte de Gabarret. "Petrus vicecomes de Guavaretto" subscribed the charter dated 1079 under which Guillaume VIII Duke of Aquitaine donated property to the monastery of la Grande-Sauve[380]. "Petrus Gavardensis vicecomes" founded the priory of Gabarret, and donated it to the abbey of la Grande-Sauve, by charter dated to [1080], subscribed by "Arnaldi Rogerii fratris vicecomitis ipsius…Petri de Gavaretto cusini vicecomitis…"[381]. The cartulary of Auch records the death "XIV Kal Mai" in 1097 of "Petrus vicecomes de Gavarreto"[382].

m [firstly] ---. The name of Pierre Roger's [first] wife is not known. The fact of this first marriage is strongly suggested by the estimated date of Pierre Roger’s marriage to Agnes.

m [secondly] ([1080]) AGNES Dame de Dému et de Manciet, daughter of ---. The cartulary of Auch records that, after the death of "Petrus vicecomes de Gavarreto" in 1097, "uxor eius" donated the church of Sainte-Marie de Dému to the archbishop of Auch and offered "filius Petrus…parvulum" (and "fratres sui" if the child died) as a canon of Sainte-Marie d’Auch, signed by "Arnalt Rogerii fratris vicecomitis, Agnetem uxoris eius, Petri filii eius"[383]. "Agnes vicecomitissa, Petri Gavarreti mater" donated property to Grande-Selve, confirmed by "Petrus vicecomes Gavarreti filius eius et uxor ipsius et Rogerius et Arnaldus fratr. ipsius Petri et Arnaldus Rogerius avuncul. ipsius vicecom.", when leaving on pilgrimage for Jerusalem, by undated charter[384].

Pierre Roger & his [second] wife had three children:

1. PIERRE de Gabarret "Soriquers" (-[1118/34]). "…Agnetem uxoris eius, Petri filii eius" signed the charter under which "uxor eius", after the death of "Petrus vicecomes de Gavarreto" in 1097, donated the church of Sainte-Marie de Dému to the archbishop of Auch and offered "filius Petrus…parvulum" (and "fratres sui" if the child died) as a canon of Sainte-Marie d’Auch[385]. Vicomte de Gabarret. "Petrus…vicecomes de Gavarreti, qui cognominatus est Soriquers" donated property to Grande-Selve by charter dated to [1103][386]. "Agnes vicecomitissa, Petri Gavarreti mater" donated property to Grande-Selve, confirmed by "Petrus vicecomes Gavarreti filius eius et uxor ipsius et Rogerius et Arnaldus fratr. ipsius Petri et Arnaldus Rogerius avuncul. ipsius vicecom.", when leaving on pilgrimage for Jerusalem, by undated charter[387]. "Bernardus vicecomes" renounced a tax on La Réole before the court of Gascony, before "Astanova comite…de Fedenzac, ac Bernardo de Armanac, necnon Gastone vicecomite de Bearn, et Lupo Anario de Marzan, et Bibiano de Lomonie, et Petro, domino de Gavarred…", by charter dated 1103[388]. A charter dated 8 Aug 1115 records that "Petrus vicecomes", following the example of "Petrus vicecomites Gavaritanus…pater", pillaged the land of "pater…consanguineus domni Petri prioris" (of Moirax) whom he captured, and that "Petrus vicecomes cum uxore mea Guiscarda" were obliged to return the lands to the monastery[389]. Vicomte Pierre participated in the siege of Zaragoza and its capture 18 Dec 1118[390]. m GUISCARDE de Béarn, daughter of GASTON [IV] Vicomte de Béarn & his wife Talesa Sánchez (-after 15 Sep 1154). A charter dated 8 Aug 1115 records that "Petrus vicecomes cum uxore mea Guiscarda" were obliged to return lands to the monastery of Morlas[391]. Her parentage and marriage are suggested by the charter dated 10 Jul 1144 under which "Vicecomitissa Talesa iussu domni mei vicecomitis Gaston" donated property "nostram hereditatem quam habeo in Çaragoça…" to the Order of the Temple, with the consent of "domini Petri vicecomitis et nepotis mei"[392]. "Guiscarda vicecomitissa Bearnensis et Gavarrensis et…Petrus filius eius" donated property to Sainte-Foi de Morlaás by undated charter (dated to [1135/47]) signed by “G. vicecomitisse, Petri vicecomitis filii eius”[393]. A charter dated 15 Sep 1154 records that Arnaud Bishop of Oloron, on the advice of "domine Guiscarde vicecomitisse Bearnensis", authorised a chapel in the hospital of Morlaás at the request of “quidam nobili femina...Juliana”[394]. Pierre & his wife had one child:

a) PIERRE de Gabarret (-1150). "Vicecomitissa Talesa iussu domni mei vicecomitis Gaston" donated property "nostram hereditatem quam habeo in Çaragoça…" to the Order of the Temple, with the consent of "domini Petri vicecomitis et nepotis mei", by charter dated 10 Jul 1144[395]. He succeeded his maternal uncle in 1134 as Vicomte de Béarn. "Guiscarda vicecomitissa Bearnensis et Gauarrensis et…Petrus filius eius" donated property to Morlas by undated charter[396].

- VICOMTES de BÉARN.

2. ROGER de Gabarret . "Agnes vicecomitissa, Petri Gavarreti mater" donated property to Grande-Selve, confirmed by "Petrus vicecomes Gavarreti filius eius et uxor ipsius et Rogerius et Arnaldus fratr. ipsius Petri et Arnaldus Rogerius avuncul. ipsius vicecom.", when leaving on pilgrimage for Jerusalem, by undated charter[397].

3. ARNAUD de Gabarret . "Agnes vicecomitissa, Petri Gavarreti mater" donated property to Grande-Selve, confirmed by "Petrus vicecomes Gavarreti filius eius et uxor ipsius et Rogerius et Arnaldus fratr. ipsius Petri et Arnaldus Rogerius avuncul. ipsius vicecom.", when leaving on pilgrimage for Jerusalem, by undated charter[398].

Chapter 4. VICOMTES de LOMAGNE

A. VICOMTES de LOMAGNE

The pagus of Lomagne was located mainly in Gascony, to the north-west of Toulouse between Lectoure and Montauban. Its main towns were Lectoure, Beaumont and Lavit. The town of Auvillars was located in its northernmost part. Jaurgain records that the vicomté of Lomagne included Lectoure and around one hundred parishes. The vicomtes de Lomagne were vassals of the counts of Gascony but also held the vicomté of Auvillars, which was under the suzerainty of the county of Agen and was incorporated into the county of Toulouse in 1196[399]. The family of the first dynasty of vicomtes de Lomagne died out in the male line in 1280, when the vicomté passed by marriage to Hélie [IX] Talairand Comte de Périgord. In Nov 1301, Comte Hélie [IX] Talairand ceded the vicomtés of Lomagne and Auvillars to Philippe IV King of France, who granted them to his second son, the future Philippe V King of France. The latter renounced the grant 10 Dec 1305, and King Philippe IV granted them to Arnaud Garsie de Goth 14 Dec 1305[400]. He and his family are shown in Part B. of this document. The two vicomtés passed by marriage to the comtes d’Armagnac in [1324].

1. DATON . His existence is confirmed only by the patronymic attributed to his son. m ---. The name of Daton’s wife is not known. Daton & his wife had one child:

a) ODON Daton (-after 993). Vicomte. Guillaume Sancho Duke of Gascony donated the church of Saint-Gény at Lectoure to Saint-Sever, with the consent of "Otdati vicecomitis atque Arnaldi abbatis præfati loci", by charter dated 993, the donation being recalled in another charter dated 1009[401]. Jaurgain suggests that Oton Daton was the father of Vicomte Arnaud [I] (see below). He also suggests that Oton Daton was the brother of the two brothers Guillaume and Garcia, shown in Chapter 1.B as nephews of Guillaume Sancho Comte de Gascogne. Given the birth date range estimated for Arnaud, this is unlikely to be correct.

1. ARNAUD [I] ([950/70]-after 29 Jul 1011). Vicomte. The Historia Abbatiæ Condomensis quotes a charter dated 29 Jul 1011 under which "Ugo…Præsul, secundum lineam carnis eidem Duci propinquis et affinis", donated property to the convent of Condom with the consent of "…et Arnaldo Vicecomite et cum coniuge sua eorumque filio Arnaldo, eiusque coniuge Adalias…"[402]. The wording of this charter suggests that the individuals who consented to this donation were the close relations and heirs of the donor. Vicomte Arnaud is named first in the list, after Duke Sancho Guillaume, and therefore should probably be considered the senior heir. The document provides no indication about Arnaud’s parentage. Jaurgain states that he was descended from "Donat Sanche troisième fils de Sanche IV Garcia, duc et comte de Gascogne, né de sa seconde femme", but he provides no primary source which confirms the existence of this individual[403]. Under his reconstruction, Vicomte Arnaud was the grandson of this person. However, the birth date range estimated for Arnaud, consistent with his son and his son’s wife also being named in the 1011 charter, is more consistent with his being the first cousin of the donor. [The dating clause of a charter dated Nov 982, under which property was donated to Réole, refers to "regnante Guillelmo Sancio comite, captinentia Arnaldo vicecomiti"[404]. It is not known whether this charter refers to Vicomte Arnaud who was ancestor of the vicomtes de Lomagne, but if it does he would have obviously been born in the earlier part of the date range estimated above.] Vicomte. The Historia Abbatiæ Condomensis quotes a charter dated 29 Jul 1011 under which "Ugo…Præsul, secundum lineam carnis eidem Duci propinquis et affinis" donated property to the convent of Condom, with the consent of "eodem Duce [provinciam Vasconiam Sanctione…ducatum]…et Arnaldo Vicecomite et cum coniuge sua eorumque filio Arnaldo, eiusque coniuge Adalias…"[405]. m ---. The name of Arnaud's wife is not known. Arnaud [I] & his wife had [three] children:

a) ARNAUD [II] (-[1059] or after). The Historia Abbatiæ Condomensis quotes a charter dated 29 Jul 1011 under which "Ugo…Præsul, secundum lineam carnis eidem Duci propinquis et affinis" donated property to the convent of Condom, with the consent of "eodem Duce [provinciam Vasconiam Sanctione…ducatum]…et Arnaldo Vicecomite et cum coniuge sua eorumque filio Arnaldo, eiusque coniuge Adalias…"[406]. Vicomte de Lomagne et d'Auvillars.

- see below.

b) [RAYMOND Arnaud (-[1045/53]). Vicomte. He is named in the charter of (his supposed brother) Arnaud Vicomte de Lomagne et d’Auvillars who confirmed the donation by "Raymond-Arnaud vicomte de Gascogne" of all his rights "sur le Condomois" as "heres consanguineus Hugonis quondam domini de Condomiense" and all the honours to which he could claim "en qualité de vicomte de Gascogne et de Lomagne", by charter dated "du mercredi veille de la saint Martin sous le règne de Henri I roi de France" (which Jaurgain calculates must date either to 1053 or 1059)[407]. It is assumed that he was younger than his supposed brother Arnaud, as the latter is named in the charter dated 29 Jul 1011 quoted above. "Vicecomes Raynaldus Arnaldus" donated property "in finibus Lactoratensis…Cumbe" to Condom, which Jaurgain dates to [1045][408].]

c) [GARCIA Arnaud (-after 12 Jan 1062). Seigneur de Galard. Jaurgain deduces that Garcia was the son of Arnaud [I] because Galard was part of the patrimony of "Hugonis, quondam Aginnensis episcopi" who donated property "in pago Leumaniæ…ecclesiam de Golard, cum appenditiis suis"[409]. "Hunaldus in monasterio Moysiaco" donated property for the souls of "patris mei Rogerii et matris mei Aladein et fratris mei Hugonis et avunculi mei Saxetonis" by charter dated 12 Jan 1062, signed by "Aladain mater mea, Hugo vicecomes frater meus, Garsia Arnal cognomento Gualiar"[410].] m ---. The name of Garcia’s wife is not known. Garcia & his wife had four children:

i) AIMERY (-[1065/75]). Seigneur de Galard. "Aymericus de Gualard et Geraldus eius frater" acted as guarantors for "Pontius et frater eius Bertrandus de Olbion" in a donation made to Condom by charter dated to [1065], witnessed by "…Petrus de Gualard, Guillelmus de Gualard…"[411]. m ---. The name of Aimery’s wife is not known. Aimery & his wife had one child:

(a) ARGAIAS (-after [1080]). Seigneur de Galard. "Petrus Gualardi ille Vetulus et Argaias eius nepos" acted as guarantors for "miles…Gerardus de Bonofonte…filius Atarnalt, germanus frater Garnerii" in a donation made to Condom by charter dated to [1075][412].

ii) GERAUD (-after 1065). Seigneur de Galard. "Aymericus de Gualard et Geraldus eius frater" acted as guarantors for "Pontius et frater eius Bertrandus de Olbion" in a donation made to Condom by charter dated to [1065][413].

iii) PIERRE (-[1075/80]). "Aymericus de Gualard et Geraldus eius frater" acted as guarantors for "Pontius et frater eius Bertrandus de Olbion" in a donation made to Condom by charter dated to [1065], witnessed by "…Petrus de Gualard, Guillelmus de Gualard…"[414]. "Petrus Gualardi ille Vetulus et Argaias eius nepos" acted as guarantors for "miles…Gerardus de Bonofonte…filius Atarnalt, germanus frater Garnerii" in a donation made to Condom by charter dated to [1075][415].

iv) GUILLAUME (-after 1065). "Aymericus de Gualard et Geraldus eius frater" acted as guarantors for "Pontius et frater eius Bertrandus de Olbion" in a donation made to Condom by charter dated to [1065], witnessed by "…Petrus de Gualard, Guillelmus de Gualard…"[416].

ARNAUD [II], son of ARNAUD [I] Vicomte [de Lomagne] & his wife --- (-[1059] or after). The Historia Abbatiæ Condomensis quotes a charter dated 29 Jul 1011 under which "Ugo…Præsul, secundum lineam carnis eidem Duci propinquis et affinis" donated property to the convent of Condom, with the consent of "eodem Duce [provinciam Vasconiam Sanctione…ducatum]…et Arnaldo Vicecomite et cum coniuge sua eorumque filio Arnaldo, eiusque coniuge Adalias…"[417]. Vicomte de Lomagne et d'Auvillars. Arnaud Vicomte de Lomagne et d’Auvillars restored the château de Nérac to the convent of Condom and confirmed the donation by "Raymond-Arnaud vicomte de Gascogne" of all his rights "sur le Condomois" as "heres consanguineus Hugonis quondam domini de Condomiense" and all the honours to which he could claim "en qualité de vicomte de Gascogne et de Lomagne", by charter dated "du mercredi veille de la saint Martin sous le règne de Henri I roi de France" (which Jaurgain calculates must date either to 1053 or 1059)[418].

m (before 29 Jul 1011) as her second husband, ADELAIS, widow of GERAUD [I] Comte d'Armagnac, daughter of ---. The Historia Abbatiæ Condomensis quotes a charter dated 29 Jul 1011 under which "Ugo…Præsul, secundum lineam carnis eidem Duci propinquis et affinis", with the consent of "eodem Duce [provinciam Vasconiam Sanctione…ducatum]…et Arnaldo Vicecomite et cum coniuge sua eorumque filio Arnaldo, eiusque coniuge Adalias…", donated property to the convent of Condom[419]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[420], she was Adelais de Poitou, daughter of Guillaume V Duke of Aquitaine [Guillaume III Comte de Poitou], but this appears impossible chronologically. Her second marriage is confirmed by the charter of her son who declares himself "Oddo de Lomania frater Bernardi comitis Armaniacensis" in his donation of property to the monastery of Saint-Mont dated to [1062][421].

Arnaud [II] & his wife had [two] children:

1. ODON [II] (-1084 or after). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Vicomte de Lomagne. "Oddo de Lomania frater Bernardi comitis Armaniacensis" donated property to the monastery of Saint-Mont supported by "omnibus meis filiis…Oddo, W. et G. Trencaleone, et Beziano et W. Arnaldo" by charter dated to [1062][422]. “Otto vicecomes Leomaniæ et uxor mea Adalaisis comitissa” donated property to the monastery of Saint-Victor Marseille by charter dated 27 May 1082[423]. "Odone vicecomite et nepote Viviano" donated "locum de S. Genio" to Cluny by charter dated 1084[424]. m ADELAIS, daughter of ---. “Otto vicecomes Leomaniæ et uxor mea Adalaisis comitissa” donated property to the monastery of Saint-Victor Marseille by charter dated 27 May 1082[425]. Odon [II] & his wife had six children:

a) ODON [III] . "Oddo de Lomania frater Bernardi comitis Armaniacensis" donated property to the monastery of Saint-Mont supported by "omnibus meis filiis…Oddo, W. et G. Trencaleone, et Beziano et W. Arnaldo" by charter dated to [1062][426]. Vicomte de Lomagne. m ---. The name of Odon's wife is not known. Odon [III] & his wife had one child:

i) VEZIAN [I] (-1103 or after). His parentage is suggested by the charter dated 1084 under which "Odone vicecomite et nepote Viviano" donated "locum de S. Genio" to Cluny[427]. Vicomte de Lomagne.

- see below.

b) GERAUD "Trencaléon" . "Oddo de Lomania frater Bernardi comitis Armaniacensis" donated property to the monastery of Saint-Mont supported by "omnibus meis filiis…Oddo, W. et G. Trencaleone, et Beziano et W. Arnaldo" by charter dated to [1062][428].

c) VEZIAN . "Oddo de Lomania frater Bernardi comitis Armaniacensis" donated property to the monastery of Saint-Mont supported by "omnibus meis filiis…Oddo, W. et G. Trencaleone, et Beziano et W. Arnaldo" by charter dated to [1062][429].

d) GUILLAUME ARNAUD . "Oddo de Lomania frater Bernardi comitis Armaniacensis" donated property to the monastery of Saint-Mont supported by "omnibus meis filiis…Oddo, W. et G. Trencaleone, et Beziano et W. Arnaldo" by charter dated to [1062][430].

e) ASCELINE . Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 1 Oct 1068 under which "Bernardus filius Willelmi et Brachite uxoris eius" donated property to the monastery of Saint-Mont on the advice of "uxoris mee Asceline et patris eius Oddonis vicecomitis Lomanie…"[431]. m ([1065]) BERNARD Seigneur de Faurcès, son of GUILLAUME Seigneur de Faurcès & his wife Brachite --- .

f) AZIVELLE (-after [1086]). Her parentage and first marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 9 Sep 1068 under which "filia Oddonis vicecomitis Lomanie uxor Geraldi Obeissani" confirmed a donation of property to the monastery of Saint-Mont[432]. Her name and second marriage are confirmed by another charter in the same cartulary in which "Azivella filia Oddonis vicecomitis de Lomania" names "Bernardo Tumapalerio socero meo", which is confirmed by "Bernardus filius supradictæ dominæ"[433]. Her second marriage is further confirmed by, and her two sons by her first marriage and her son by her second named in, the charter dated to [1085] which refers to a donation to the monastery of Saint-Mont by "nobilissima quiedam femina Azivera vicecomitis Lomanie Oddonis filia, mater que Bernardi filii Geraldi Armaniaci comitis", on the advice of "eiusdem Bernardi filii sui et Geraldi secundi coniugis et aliorum duorum filiorum Hugonis et Oddonis"[434]. "Domina Azivella matre dompni Bernardi Armaniacensis comitis" made an agreement with the monks of Saint-Mont by charter dated to [1085][435]. It is curious that this charter names Azivelle's son, and not her husband, and that he is accorded the title count although it appears from other sources that his father was still alive at that date. m firstly ([1065]) GERAUD [I] Seigneur d'Arbeissan, son of ---. m secondly ([1070]) as his first wife, GERAUD [II] Comte d'Armagnac, son of BERNARD [II] "Tumpaler" Comte d'Armagnac & his wife Ermengardis --- (-end 1095).

2. [ADELAIS . According to Europäische Stammtafeln[436], the wife of Gaston [III] Vicomte de Béarn was the daughter of Arnaud [II] Vicomte de Lomagne. Presumably this is extrapolated from the charter dated to [1062] under which "Oddo de Lomania frater Bernardi comitis Armaniacensis" donated property to the monastery of Saint-Mont[437]. Under a charter dated 3 Mar 1055, "Bernardus comes…cognomento Tumapalerius" and "nepote meo Centullo …" founded the monastery of Saint-Mont[438]. Assuming that nepos should be interpreted in its strict sense, Centule's mother was the sister of Bernard Comte d'Armagnac. However, the unresolved question is whether Adelais was Bernard's full sister, in which case she was Adelais d'Armagnac, daughter of Géraud [I] Comte d'Armagnac & his wife ---, or his uterine half-sister. m firstly (1030, maybe separated 1038) GASTON [III] Vicomte de Béarn, son of CENTULE [III] Vicomte de Béarn & his wife --- (- 1054). m secondly ([1038]) as his second wife, ROGER Vicomte de Gabarret, son of ARNAUD Donat & his wife ---. [1045].]

VEZIAN [I] de Lomagne, son of ODON [III] Vicomte de Lomagne & his wife --- (-1103 or after). His parentage is suggested by the charter dated 1084 under which "Odone vicecomite et nepote Viviano" donated "locum de S. Genio" to Cluny[439]. Vicomte de Lomagne. "Vivianum vicecomitem Lomaniæ" donated "terræ de Gandavila" to Uzerche, with the consent of "Beatrix…uxor Viviani vicecomitis", by charter dated 1091[440]. "Bernardus vicecomes" renounced a tax on La Réole before the court of Gascony, before "Astanova comite…de Fedenzac, ac Bernardo de Armanac, necnon Gastone vicecomite de Bearn, et Lupo Anario de Marzan, et Bibiano de Lomonie, et Petro, domino de Gavarred…", by charter dated 1103[441].

m BEATRIX, daughter of ---. "Vivianum vicecomitem Lomaniæ" donated "terræ de Gandavila" to Uzerche, with the consent of "Beatrix…uxor Viviani vicecomitis", by charter dated 1091[442].

Vezian [I] & his wife had two children:

1. ODON [IV] (-1178 or after). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Vicomte de Lomagne. "Odon IV vicomte de Lomagne…avec son frère Arnaud" granted rights to the town of Lupiac, and confirmed rights granted by "Odon leur aïeul", by charter dated 28 Oct 1160[443]. "Odone vicecomite Lomanie" witnessed a charter for Gimont dated 1162[444]. A charter for the abbey of Gimont dated 1178 names "Odonis vicecomitis Lomanie et filii eius Viziani"[445]. m ---.

"Otho de Lomania et nos filii eius Bernardus de Armaiaco et Otho de Lomannia" granted right of passage over their land to the abbey of Grandselve by charter dated 8 Jun 1182[447]. m ([1150]) MASCAROSE d'Armagnac, daughter of GERAUD [III] Comte d'Armagnac & his wife Azelma de Fezensac. Her marriage is confirmed by the charter dated 1188 under which her son "Bernardus d’Armaniac vicecomes de Fezensagued" donated property to Gimont for the soul of "matris suæ cha Mascarosa"[448]. The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. Othon [I] & his wife had two children:

i) BERNARD [I] (-[1188/Mar 1193]). "Otho de Lomania et nos filii eius Bernardus de Armaiaco et Otho de Lomannia" granted right of passage over their land to the abbey of Grandselve by charter dated 8 Jun 1182[449]. He was adopted by his maternal uncle Bernard [IV] Comte d'Armagnac[450].

Seigneur de Batx. m REGINE d'Albret, daughter of BERNARD AIZ [III] Seigneur d'Albret & his wife --- de Béarn. Her marriage is confirmed by the charter dated 29 Sep 1195 which records that Amanieu [IV] d’Albret had paid the dowry of "Rogie d’Albret sa sœur, femme d’Arnaud de Lomagne et mère d’Odon seigneur de Batz"[454].

- SEIGNEURS de BATX[455].

VEZIAN [II] de Lomagne, son of ODON [IV] Vicomte de Lomagne & his wife --- (-after Sep 1221). A charter for the abbey of Gimont dated 1178 names "Odonis vicecomitis Lomanie et filii eius Viziani"[456]. Vicomte de Lomagne. A charter dated 14 Jun 1204 records the peace agreement between the consuls of Toulouse and "Vizianus Leomaniæ vicecomes et Odo eius filius et milites"[457].

m ---. The name of Vezian's wife is not known.

Vezian [II] & his wife had two children:

1. ODON [V] (-1238 or after). A charter dated 14 Jun 1204 records the peace agreement between the consuls of Toulouse and "Vizianus Leomaniæ vicecomes et Odo eius filius et milites"[458]. Vicomte de Lomagne et d'Auvillars. m ---. The name of Odon's wife is not known. Jaurgain states the peace treaty dated 24 Aug 1247 with the archbishop of Auch names Guillaume-Raymond de Pins as uncle of Arnaud-Odon de Lomagne[459]. Odon [V] & his wife had one child:

a) ARNAUD [III] Odon (-[1264/18 Apr 1267]). Jaurgain states that Odon [V] and his son Arnaud Odon witnessed the homage sworn by Gaillard Seigneur de Baujac to the comte de Toulouse dated Sep 1238[460]. Vicomte de Lomagne et d'Auvillars. After the death of his first wife, Arnaud [III] claimed the succession of the counties of Armagnac and Fezensac in the name of his daughter and took the title "tenant lieu de comte en Fezensac et en Armagnac", which was not recognised by the community of Auch which was captured by Guillaume-Raymond de Pins, uncle of Arnaud, the disagreement being settled by a peace treaty dated 24 Aug 1247 with the archbishop of Auch[461]. Alphonse Comte de Poitou et de Toulouse "senescallo Agenensi et Caturcensi" sent letters patent relating to the estate of "Arnaudi Othonis quondam vicecomitis Leumagnie" to "vicecomitisse, uxori quondam dicti vicecomitis", dated 18 Apr 1267[462]. Further correspondence is addressed to "nobilem dominam vicecomitissam Altivillaris" dated 4 Apr 1269 but gives no further genealogical details[463]. m firstly MASCAROSE d'Armagnac, daughter of GERAUD [V] Comte d'Armagnac & his wife --- (-before 25 Mar 1246). Europäische Stammtafeln shows Mascarose as daughter of Géraud [V] and first wife of Arnaud [III] Odon Vicomte de Lomagne[464]. The primary source on which her parentage and marriage is based has not been identified. m secondly ESCARONNE de Lomagne, daughter of GERAUD Trenqueléon de Lomagne Seigneur de Blaziert & his wife --- (-[1246/48]). According to Jaurgain, Vézian de Lomagne was guardian of Vézian [III] Vicomte de Lomagne, and Escaronne is recorded as his only known sister, from which he deduces this marriage[465]. m thirdly (before 20 Feb 1249) as her first husband, MARIE d'Anduze, daughter of PIERRE BERMOND Seigneur d'Anduze et de Sauve & his first wife Josserande de Poitiers-Valentinois (-1290). Her parentage is confirmed by a receipt dated 19 Feb 1249 in the Chartularium Raimondi comitis Tholosæ from Arnaud Othon Vicomte de Lomagne to Raymond VII Comte de Toulouse for the dowry of the latter's [grand-]niece "nepta sua domina Maria filia…Petri Bermundi de Salves"[466]. She married secondly ([20 Jun 1269/22 Jun 1270]) as his second wife, Archambaud [II] Comte de Périgord. The earliest date of her second marriage is set by letters dated 4 Apr 1269 and 21 Jun 1269 addressed by Alphonse Comte de Poitou et de Toulouse "senescallo Agenensi et Caturcensi" to "nobilem dominam vicecomitissam Altivillaris" relating to the estate of her late first husband, as she would presumably have been addressed by the comital title if she had been married by the latter date[467]. The latest date for her marriage is set by the letter dated 21 Jun 1270 from Alphonse Comte de Poitou et de Toulouse addressed to "Marie, Petragoricensi comitisse" which names "Archambaudo, Petragoricensi comiti, marito suo"[468]. The testament of Jeanne Ctss de Toulouse, dated 23 Jun 1270, bequeathed property to "…Margarite custodi Philippe, domine Marie quondam vicecomitisse Altivillaris filie, uxoris domini Archambaudi comitis Petragoricensis…"[469]. Her date of death is set by the marriage contract of her daughter, by her second marriage, Jeanne. Arnaud [III] Odon & his first wife had one child:

i) MASCAROSE (-before 15 Sep 1254). After the death of his first wife, Arnaud [III] claimed the succession of the counties of Armagnac and Fezensac in the name of his daughter and took the title "tenant lieu de comte en Fezensac et en Armagnac"[470]. She succeeded her maternal uncle as Ctss d'Armagnac.

B. VICOMTES de LOMAGNE (GOTH)

The possessions of Bertrand de Goth lay to the south and south-east of the county of Fezensac, from Bazas to near Bordeaux, and included the château de Blanquefort[478]. In Nov 1301, Hélie [IX] Talairand Comte de Périgord ceded the vicomtés of Lomagne and Auvillars to Philippe IV King of France, who granted them to his second son, the future Philippe V King of France. The latter renounced the grant 10 Dec 1305, and King Philippe IV granted them to Arnaud Garsie de Goth 14 Dec 1305[479].

1. ROSTAIN de Goth (-after 1142). "...Rostagno de Goth..." subscribed the charter dated 1142 under which “Raymundus Pontii comitis Sancti Egidius filius...comes Tripoli” donated property to the bishop of Le Puy-en-Velay[480].

The relationship, if any, between the Goth family and the earlier comtes d’Astarac has not been traced. m MARIE de Montcada, daughter of GUILLEN de Montcada [II] Señor de Montcada y Vic & his wife Marie de Béarn ([1166/72]-after 1211). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 1211 under which “Senebrun de Goth” donated property to the church of Rouillac, for the soul of “Bernard son père et pour les comtes d’Astarac ses prédecesseurs”, with the consent of “Raimond son fils aîné” and in the presence of “Gaston vicomte de Béarn frère de Marie épouse du donateur”[482].

3. RAYMOND [II] de Goth (-after 10 Oct 1254). Considering the restricted birth date range of Marie, wife of Senebrun [I] de Goth, it is not certain that their son Raymond [I] was the same person as Raymond [II]. "Raymond de Goth" witnessed the charter dated 10 Oct 1254 under which Géraud V Comte d’Armagnac swore allegiance to Henry III King of England, in his capacity as duke of Guyenne[484].

4. SENEBRUN [II] de Goth (-after 12 Apr 1273). "Senebrunus de Guotto" is named in a charter dated 12 Apr 1273 which records his property held in the parish of Saint Martin de Goth[485].

Courcelles comments, in relation to Senebrun [II] de Goth, that “on lui donne pour première femme Mascarose de Mauléon, qu’il dut épouser vers 1232”, and adds that she was the mother of his children except for Bertrand, but he does not cite any primary sources[486].] m [secondly] MARQUISE d’Ilhac, daughter of ACQUIN d’Ilhac chevalier & his wife ---. Her marriage is confirmed by the charter of her son Bertrand de Goth, dated 5 May 1311, under which he granted all his property in the parish of Blanquefort, inherited from "Marquise d’Ilhac sa mère", to "Raymond Guillaume de Guot chevalier son neveu"[487]. Senebrun [II] & his [first] wife had [two] children:

a) BERAUD de Goth (-after 1289). Francesco Pipini’s Chronicon names "Beraudo milite" as the father of Pope Clement V[488]. A life of his son, Pope Clement V, names the pope’s father "Beraud", while he is named "Bertrand" in other charters[489]. m (1249 or before) IDE de Blanquefort, daughter of ---. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. Béraud & his wife had [ten] children:

The testament of Arnaud Garsie de Goth, dated 6 Jan 1311 (presumably O.S.), mentioned “...Galhard son frère qui était mort sans enfans après avoir été marié”[495]. m [firstly] as her second husband, ALPAIS du Bugat, widow of --- [de Durfort], daughter of ---. [m [secondly] (contract Rouillac Jun 1284) BRAIDE de la Barthe, daughter of BERTRAND de la Barthe & his wife Brunisende --- (-after 1301). Père Anselme indicates that Gaillard & his [second] wife had two children, who were ancestors of the Seigneurs de Rouillac[496]. Given the testament of his brother Arnaud Garsie cited above, this information seems to be incorrect. Maybe Gaillard’s children, if he had any, were illegitimate.]

v) [RAYMOND GUILLAUME de Goth (-after 5 May 1311). Bertrand de Goth granted all his property in the parish of Blanquefort, inherited from "Marquise d’Ilhac sa mère", to "Raymond Guillaume de Guot chevalier son neveu" by charter dated 5 May 1311[497].

(a) BERTRAND de Goth (-after 1341). A charter dated 1341 of Edward III King of England concerns "Bertrand de Goth damoiseu seigneur du château d’Andorte {diocesis of Bazas, near Saint Macaire} …fils de feu Guillaume Raymond de Goth chevalier"[498].

1. BERAUD de Goth (-before 7 Apr 1307). The primary source which confirms his name and date of death has not been identified. m ---. The name of Béraud’s wife is not known. Béraud & his wife had one child:

The testament of Arnaud Garsie de Goth, dated 6 Jan 1311 (presumably O.S.), appointed as his heir “Bertrand de Gouth son fils”, substituting successively “Arnaud Bertrand de Pinhsac chevalier surnommé Soldan son petit-fils et Amanieu de la Mote son petit fils par sa fille”[533]. Vicomte de Lomagne et d’Auvillars. King Edward II granted “castrum et villam de Blankaforti Burdegaliæ dioc.” to “Bertrandum de Guto nunc vicecomitem Leomanniæ et Alti Villaris” by charters dated 16 Jan 1313, which names “Bertrando de Salviaco milite consanguineo et procuratore dicti Bertrando”[534].

The marriage contract between “Gui de Lévis sgr de Mirepoix...son fils Philippe de Levis” and “Beatrix vicomtesse de Lautrec...sa mère Aladays”, noting her previous betrothal to “Mathieu de Lévis” and subject to Papal dispensation, is dated 10 Sep 1296[537]. Pope Boniface VIII issued the dispensation for the marriage 3 Jun 1297, referring to her earlier contract to marry “quondam Matheus de Levis miles frater tuus fili Philippe”[538]. “Alazia fille de feu...Guill. B. de Najac veuve de Bertr. vic de Lautrec” granted her rights in “castrum nostrum de Savinhaco” to “Beatrix notre fille aînée et héritière universelle dud. Bertr.” by charter dated 30 Jun 1297[539]. The date of her second marriage is estimated from the following document: a charter dated 11 Mar 1310 (O.S.) records a dispute between “Bertrandi de Guto militis vicecomitis Lautricensis” and “dominam A. de Monteforti comitissam Vindocinensem” concerning “loca de Cabanesio”[540].

The testament of "domini Johannis comitis Armaniaci", dated 18 Feb 1347, bequeathes property for the soul of "Reginæ de Gutto…vicecomitissæ Leomaniæ, primæ…uxoris quondam nostræ, et domini Bertrandi"[552]. A second testament of "Johannes…comes Armaignaci, Fesensiaci et Ruthene, vicecomesque Leomaniæ et Altivillaris ac dominus terre Ripparie", dated 5 Apr 1373, donates property for the souls of "…Regine de Gutto quondam uxoris nostre…domini Bertrandi de Guto quondam vicecomitis Leomaniæ et Altivillaris, patris ipsius Regine…"[553].

Another possibility is that this was the same person as one of the other sisters named below, who married “... de Preissac” as her first husband. The testament of Arnaud Garsie de Goth, dated 6 Jan 1311 (presumably O.S.), appointed as his heir “Bertrand de Gouth son fils”, substituting successively “Arnaud Bertrand de Pinhsac chevalier surnommé Soldan son petit-fils et Amanieu de la Mote son petit fils par sa fille”[558].

Dame de Flamarens: Arnaud Garsie de Goth granted “la seigneurie de Flamarens” to “Régine sa fille” on her marriage to “Bernard de Durfort chevalier, qui depuis se qualifia sire de Flamarens”, by charter dated after 1305[574].

The number of other children is unknown, although “plusieurs” suggests at least four (of whom Béraud, Arnaud Garsie and Raymond, named above).

Arnaud Garsie & his second wife had one child:

13. child ([Jan/Jun] 1312-). The testament of Arnaud Garsie de Goth, dated 6 Jan 1311 (presumably O.S.), bequeathed property to “...au posthume de Miramonde sa seconde femme”[577]. No record has been found indicating whether this child survived.
