5002 From Medieval Lands by Charles Cawley:
An 1127 charter shows that Richard Fitz Pons (Ricard Pontii filii), granted the manor of "Lechia" to "Matilda my wife in marriage" (Mathildi uxori mee in matrimoniu), in exchange for her original marriage portion, the manor of Ullingswick in Herefordshire, which he gave to his new son-in-law, Elias II Giffard", who married his daughter Bertha (Helie Giff in mat-monu cum filia mea Berta).[1]

Round indicates that this charter means that Matilda must have been the daughter of Walter of Gloucester, noting that Ullingswick was recorded in Domesday Book as belonging to the church of Hereford, and also that King Henry I confirmed its grant and that of Little Hereford by the bishop of Hereford to Walter of Gloucester by another charter[2] ...

5003 From MedLands: A striking feature of the genealogy of the Carolingian dynasty is the absence of detailed information concerning the daughters of the family. In the case of Frederuna (mother of this chlld), first wife of Charles III (The Simple)...very little is known about her six daughters. ... ERMENTRUDE ([908/16]-). The Genealogica Arnulfi Comitis names (in order) "Hyrmintrudim, Frederunam, Adelheidim, Gislam, Rotrudim et Hildegardim" as the children of "Karolus rex…ex Frederuna regina"[351]. Hlawitschka suggests[352] that Ermentrude, daughter of King Charles III, was the wife of Gottffied Graf im Jülichgau. This appears to be based on the combined reading of four strings of entries in the Liber Memorialis of Remiremont: (1) "Dumnus Gislibertus dux…Dumna Girberga, Ainricus, Haduidis…", which is followed by (2) "Gottefridus comes cum infantibus…suis, Ermentridis comitissa"[353]; (3) "Gotefridus, Ermendrudis, Gotefridus, Gebardus, Gerardus, Adelardus, Girberga" assumed to be Gottfried, his wife, four sons and daughter[354], and (4) "…Caroli imperatoris…Hludowici imperatoris, Hlotarii, Caroli, Ermentrudis"[355], which may represent an abbreviated attempt to set out the ancestry of Ermentrude wife of Graf Gottfried. However, the connection between entries (1) to (3) and entry (4) appears to be speculation.

5004 From Nancy Kost of Las Vegas: 4/18/2002

Marcella Thiry Brown was my grandmother's sister. She was married to Carey Alward Brown who died very young from the dreaded disease, Consumption. Marcella tired in vain to find a cure for Carey, taking him to Colorado and then by prairie schooner (covered wagon) to the South where he died enroute. At the time of Carey's death, I believe Marcella was pregnant with their son, also named Carey. I have a newpaper clipping of their journey as well as her obit and his.

Carey, the son, was raised as one of my great-grandmother's own. He was raised in Milton Junction where he and his wife are buried in the family Thiry plot.

I have pictures of Marcella and Carey, her husband.

Again, I am very interested in your connection to the family, as I have run into a dead end.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Nancy Kost.

5006 From Project Medlands: http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/SAVOY.htm#HumbertIIdied1103B

son of AMEDEE II Comte de Savoie & his wife Jeanne [de Genève] ([1072]-Moûtiers 19 Oct 1103, bur Moûtiers). "Umbertus comes, filius quondam Amedei" donated property to the monastery at Pinerolo by charter dated 29 Nov 1098[143]. He succeeded his father in 1080 as HUMBERT II "le Renforcé" Comte de Maurienne et de Savoie, under the regency of his paternal grandmother. On her death in 1091, he lost much of her territories, retaining only the valley of Susa[144]. He was the first of his family to strengthen relations with France, diverting his attention from Italy after the loss of most of the family's Italian possessions. "Ubertus filii qda Amedo" donated property to Santa Maria d´Ivrea by charter dated 14 Sep 1094[145]. "Nantelmus" confirmed the foundation of the priory of Bellevaux en Bauges ["Bellævalles…supra villam Boggarum"], with the support of "Humberto comite", by charter dated to the end-11th century[146]. "Humbertus comes et marchio" donated property to the abbey of Aulps ["in pago Gebennensi in valle…Alpis"], with the consent of "Girardo Alingiensi et Gilione de Rovorea quorum feudem est", by charter dated to [1094], witnessed by "Girardus Alingiensis, Rodulphus de Fulciniaco, Uldricus comes, Anselmus, Willelmus, Amedeus filius eiusdem Girardi"[147]. "Humbertus comes et Girardus de Alingio et Gislo miles a quibus est ille locus" consented to the agreement between the abbey of Molesme and the abbey of Aulps, recorded in a charter dated 1097[148]. "Umbertus comes filius quondam Amedei" donated property to Pinerolo by charter dated 29 Nov 1098[149]. The necrology of Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne records the death "XIV Kal Nov" of "Humbertus comes Maur."[150].

m ([1090]) as her first husband, GISELE de Bourgogne, daughter of GUILLAUME I Comte Palatin de Bourgogne, Comte de Vienne et de Mâcon & his wife Etiennette --- ([1075]-after 1133). Her parentage is deduced from Suger stating that her daughter Adelaide, wife of Louis VI "le Gros" King of France, was the niece of Pope Calixtus II[151]. This is corroborated by "Guido Viennensis archiepiscopus" (later Pope Calixtus II) addressing a letter to "nepoti suo Amedeo comiti" (Amedée III Comte de Savoie, son of Gisèle by her first marriage) dated [1115][152]. Her date of birth is estimated from her having given birth to five children by her second husband whom she married in [1105], and assuming that she was no more than 17 years old when she gave birth to her first child by her first husband. "Amedeus comes" donated property to Saint-Jean de Maurienne, for the soul of "patris sui Uberti comtis", with the consent of "Gisla matre et fratribus eius Guillelmo atque Umberto", by charter dated 21 Oct 1104[153]. She married secondly ([1105]) Ranieri Marchese di Monferrato. Her second marriage is confirmed by Orderic Vitalis who records the marriage of Guillaume de Normandie and the daughter of Raniero III Marchese di Monferrato, naming both the bride's parents and specifying that the marriage was arranged by the bride's uterine half-sister, Adélaïde de Maurienne Queen of France[154].

He was married to Gisela of Burgundy, daughter of William I, Count of Burgundy, and had 7 children:

1. Amadeus III of Savoy
2. William, Bishop of Liège
3. Adelaide, (d. 1154), married to Louis VI of France
4. Agnes, (d. 1127), married to Arcimboldo VI (Archibald VI in English), lord of *Bourbon
5. Humbert
6. Reginald
7. Guy, abbey of Namur

5007 From Project MedLands: The early history of Gascony is unclear. ...There is little information in primary sources about the development of Gascony during the 7th and early 8th centuries. The first primary source records are from around 748. ... it is important to note: descendants of Duke Lupus based on a document dated 30 Jan 845, which purports to be a confirmation by Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks... The wording of these documents is unusually detailed and atypical of other contemporary Carolingian charters, strongly suggesting that they are spurious. ... Jaurgain, in his work on the nobility in Gascony, states that the collection of these documents was first published in 1694. ... A small part of the genealogical information in the Alarcon documentation is corroborated by other primary sources, including the Annales Metenses and the Continuator of Fredegar. Other parts of the information are clearly incorrect...There remains a large part of information in the documents which is uncorroborated elsewhere and whose accuracy cannot be judged definitively. The reconstruction set out in the first part should therefore be treated with considerable caution. The second part of this chapter sets out the limited reconstruction of the family of the early dukes of Gascony which is possible based only on information in other surviving primary sources. This information is sparse, and it can quickly be appreciated that there are numerous possible reconstructions other than the one based on the Alarcon documents. It is even possible that the various rulers in Gascony at the time were unrelated warlords who seized power from each other, or who controlled different parts of the territory at the same time.

Reconstruction based on questionable Alarcon docuements shows: LOUP, son of [HATTO & his wife Vandrade ---] (-murdered [775]). The charter of Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks dated 30 Jan 845 (probably spurious, as explained in the Introduction) names "Lupo Duci" as son of "Hattonis Ducis"[14]. His parentage has not been corroborated by other primary sources consulted. m ---. The name of Loup's wife is not known. Loup & his wife had [three] children see text for the others, we are interested in: b) [CENTULE (-[812]). The charter of Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks dated 30 Jan 845 (probably spurious, as explained in the Introduction) names "Scimino et Centullo" as sons of "Adalrico"[22]. His parentage has not been corroborated by other primary sources consulted. m ---. The name of Centule's wife is not known. Centule & his wife had [two] children:] i) [LOUP (-after 819). The charter of Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks dated 30 Jan 845 (probably spurious, as explained in the Introduction) names "Scimino et Centullo" as sons of "Adalrico", stating that Gascony was divided between "dictum Sciminum et Lupum Centulli demortui Centulli filium"[23]. His parentage has not been corroborated by other primary sources consulted. m ---. The name of Loup's wife is not known. Loup & his wife had [two] children: (a) [DONAT LOUP (-[before 865]). The charter of Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks dated 30 Jan 845 (probably spurious, as explained in the Introduction) names "Donatum Lupum et Centulupum" as sons of "Lupi Centulli Ducis", stating that the former was installed as Comte de Bigorre[24]. Ancestor of the Comtes de Bigorre (see below, Part B).] (b) [CENTULE LOUP (-[844]). The charter of Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks dated 30 Jan 845 (probably spurious, as explained in the Introduction) names "Donatum Lupum et Centulupum" as sons of "Lupi Centulli Ducis", stating that the latter was installed as Vicomte de Béarn[25]. His parentage has not been corroborated by other primary sources consulted.]

Based on other primary sources what is known: CENTULE . His name is known only from the patronymic attributed to his son. m ---. The name of Centule's wife is not known. Centule & his wife had two children: a) LOUP Centule (-after 819). [Duke of Gascony.] Einhard's Annales name "Berengario Tolosæ et Warino Arverni comite" as fighting "Lupus Centulli Wasco" in 819 and "in quo et fratrem Garsandum…interitum fuit"[39]. The Vita Hludowici Imperatoris records the rebellion of "Wasco, Lupus Centulli cognomento" and fighting "Werinum Arvernorum comitem et Berengarium Tholosanum"[40]. The Gesta Francorum names "Lupus Wasco" when recording that he was "de perfidia convictus" and sent into exile in 819[41]. b) GERSAND (-killed in battle 819). Einhard's Annales name "Berengario Tolosæ et Warino Arverni comite" as fighting "Lupus Centulli Wasco" in 819 and "in quo et fratrem Garsandum…interitum fuit"[42].

6. SANCHO (-[before 812]). His name is known from the patronymic attributed to his son. According to Jaurgain, Sancho was the son of Loup Duke of Gascony whom he succeeded but he cites no primary source on which he bases his assertion[43]. The poem of Ermold le Noir names "Loup-Sancion" and records that "Sancion prince des Gascons" (apparently referring to the same person) was brought up at the court of Charles I King of the Franks and swore fidelity to him[44]. This would seem to be the only reference in primary sources to Sancho. m ---. The name of Sancho's wife is not known. Sancho & his wife had three children:

Loup (d. after 819).[1]

From Wikipedia: Lupo III Centule (Basque: Otsoa Wasco, French: Loup Centulle, Gascon: Lop Centullo, Latin: Lupus Centullus, Spanish: Lope or Lobo Centulo, Catalan: Llop Centoll) (died ca. 820) was the Duke of Gascony briefly from 818 until his deposition by Pepin I of Aquitaine in 819. He was either a son of García I or of Centule, a brother of Sancho I.

Research Notes
Date of death will be after 819 based on texts above Birth has to be before 800 and could be much earlier. Because his son Donat is listed with a birth date of 0785 we have given Loup a birth date of 0765 or earlier. The mother listed is possibly incorrect and her date of birth does not work with that of Donat. More research needs to be done on this or we should disconnect her from the profile.

LYON MOUNTAIN MINER DIES IN GRAVEL SLIDE

Albert Tonneson, 52, Veteran of 30 Years, Instantly Killed Yesterday

His body buried and crushed by approximately two tons of loose gravel from an iron ore bed, Albert Tonneson, 52, veteran Lyon Mountain miner was instantly killed at 9 am yesterday, an hour and a half after he started his day’s labor.

Tonneson, employed as a foreman by the Republic Steel Corp., had been a mineworker for 30 years. He is survived by his widow and six children, all of Lyon Mountain.

According to William J. Linney, general manager, the victim and Frank Longto, a fellow worker, were employed at the 1267 foot level where the accident took place. The gravel slide evidently broke with such rapidity that Tonneson was unable to even attempt a break for safety, but no coherent version of the accident could be given because of the nervous strain, which effected Longto.

The gravel, left by blasting during the previous night fell only a distance of about 2 feet, but there was such a tremendous amount that it quickly settled over Tonneson.

The death of Tonneson is the first fatality at Lyon Mountain over a considerable length of time and is unofficially said to b the first fatality since the mines were leased to Republic Steel Corporation in early 1939.

5016 From Wikipedia:

Eustace II, (born about 1015-1020 - died about 1087), the son of Eustace I, was count of Boulogne from 1049-1087, fought on the Norman side at the Battle of Hastings, and afterwards received a large honour in England.
Eustace II first married Goda of England, who was the daughter of King Ethelred the Unready and his second wife Emma of Normandy, and sister of King Edward the Confessor. There were no children.
Goda died circa 1047, and he quickly married again (about 1049). From his second marriage with Ida of Lorraine (daughter of Godfrey III, Duke of Lower Lorraine), Eustace had three sons, Eustace III, the next count of Boulogne, and Godfrey of Bouillon and Baldwin, both later monarchs of Jerusalem.
[needs checkIn 1048 Eustace joined his father-in-law's rebellion against the Emperor Henry III. The next year Eustace was excommunicated by Pope Leo IX for marrying within the prohibited degree of kinship. It's likely the pope's action was at the behest of Henry III. The rebellion failed, and in 1049 Eustace and Godfrey submitted to Henry III. ]
The main concentration his Domesday lands was in and around Essex.[1]

5019 From Wikipedia: Hugobert (also Chugoberctus or Hociobercthus) (died probably in 697) was a seneschal and a count of the palace at the Merovingian court during the reigns of Theuderic III and Childebert III.

Research Notes
We merged 8 profiles into this one profile. We also merged the wives into one profile.

It has been disproven that he is one and the same with bishop Hugobert of Liège, because his wife appears in the records of Echternach in the year 698 as a widow. He was married to Irmina of Oeren, who, shortly after his death, made possible the founding of the Abbey of Echternach. Irmina was sister to Adela of Pfalzel, founder of the convent Pfalzel, who is frequently confused with her daughter of the same name. He last appears in a royal charter dated 14 March 697. Some internet trees show him married to his sister-in-law by mistake.

Parents
Hugobert's parents are Unknown. From Wikipedia: He was a grandson of the dux Theotar, and it is assumed, but not proven, that his father was Chugus, who in 617 became mayor of the palace of Austrasia.

m. Irmina UNKNOWN, Abbess of Oeren. Issue: 1 known[2]

Plectrudis
m. (670/5) Pepin II d'Heristal
Wikipedia expands on this: Hugobert and Irmina had several daughters, including:

Plectrude, 691/717 witnessed, the first wife of Pippin of Herstal and founder of the Abbey St. Maria im Kapitol in Cologne
Adela (655-732), abbess of Pfalzel, married to Eudes I, Duke of Aquitaine (questionable Odo the Great and son of Saint Oda)
Regintrud, whose second marriage after the death of her husband was to the duke Theudebert of Bavaria
Irmina (d. ca 704), married to Chariveus, brother of Lambert, Count of Hesbaye.
Other children frequently attributed to Hugobert and Irmina include the following who are likely a generation removed:
Chrodelinda, who was likely the daughter of Irmina and Chiriveus. She married Wido, Abbot of Saint Wandrile. Their son Warnhar was Count of Horbach and was the patriarch of the Widonids.
Bertrada of Prüm (b. c. 670, d. after 721), the founder of the Prüm Abbey and mother of count Caribert of Laon, who was father of Bertrada of Laon, who in turn was mother of Charlemagne.

Emma was the wife of Rudolf II de Warenne, son of Rudolf I of Warenne, who was a Norman aristocrat and progenitor of the Earl of Surrey family line.

Emma and Rudolf II married in or before 1059 - both were still living in 1074, and had several children including:

Rudolf III de Warenne - who inherited most of the family lands in Normandy.
William de Warenne, 1st Earl of Surrey - who fought with William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings and was reward with vast land holdings as the Earl of Surrey.
Frederick de Warenne - who was killed by Hereward the Wake. He is listed in the Domesday book holding lands in Cambridgeshire and Norfolk. (Domesday, ff.196, ii.465b, 170b, 172b). Another source lists Frederick as the brother of William's wife, Gundred.
NOTE: Charles Cawley's Medieval Lands Index concludes that all of Rudulph's children were the progeny of his first marriage and not the children of Emma.

5023 Fulbert de Falaise, Chamberlain,[1] was the father of Arlette or Herleve, mistress of Robert of Normandy.[2]

WikiTree | 26 Mar 2014 -- Recent scholarship discounts Fulbert as a tanner. This is based on examination of the original source, the context of Duke William's mockery and the Latin and French words later chroniclers had trouble translating.[3]

Family
The earliest accounts of Fulbert's daughter, Herleva, come from Orderic Vitalis. They were not written down until 80 years after she met Robert the Magnificent. It was only through Wace and Benoit in the 12th century, and later 17th-century writings, that she became known as a daughter of tanner.[3]

Occupation
In fact, Fulbert was probably a mortician. He is described as, "a person who laid out corpses," and "might have embalmed bodies." As Chamberlain of the ducal court, this was one of Fulbert's duties, and most likely the backdrop of the heckling which resulted in Duke William's bloody retribution.[3][4][5]

Jack Day's Work in Progress

"Cawley (2006), lists Fulbert de Falaise and Doda (Duwa) UNKNOWN, as the parents of Herlave (living 1049)."[1]

"Note that Cawley (2006), terminates Herlave's pedigree with Fulbert, with nothing more known."[1]

"Baldwin (2006), does not identify parents for Herleve."[1]

Occupation: Mortician
Wikipedia -- "tanner, based on translations of Orderic's additions to the Gesta Normannorum Ducum...."[6] One later poetic source interpreted the occupation to be that of tailor, but in part due to flawed transcripts of the origina..." [7] .... literal reading ... Herleva's family had been undertakers or embalmers."[8]

Orderic ... added to the Gesta that Fulbert served as the Duke's chamberlain (cubicularii ducis)." [9]

5024 Fulk "le Jeun" (the Younger) became King of Jerusalem in 1131 on the death of Baldwin II, his father-in-law by his second marriage. Fulk is buried in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
The Crusaders set up the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem after killing many thousands of the Arab and Jewish inhabitants of the area. At its greatest extent under Fulk "le Jeun", the Kingdom comprised most of present day Israel and part of Syria. Muslim counterattack steadily shrank the size of the crusading kingdom. In 1187, Jerusalem was retaken by by Saladin. Eventually, the last Christian stronghold at Acre surrendered in 1291 and the Crusaders departed from the Holy Land.

Fulk married first circa 1108 to Erembourge (died in 1126), heiress of Maine, daughter of Helias, Seigneur de la Flèche, Count of Maine.

Fulk and Erembourge had the following children:

* Geoffrey Plantagenet

* Isabella or Mathilda who married William the Aetheling, Duke of Normandy who was the only legitimate son of King Henry Beauclerc of England. William drowned when the White Ship was wrecked on the deadly rock. A boat was launched and William was rowed to safety. The cries of his half-sister Maud, Countess of Perche, induced him to return to the wreck where they sank together. This was considered by some to be punishment for Henry's sins of lust in having so many illegitimate offspring. He had four legitemate children and at least twenty-five illegitimate children.

Fulk "le Jeun" married second on June 2, 1129 to Mélesinde, daughter of Baldwin II, King of Jerusalem. On the death of Baldwin II in 1131, Fulk "le Jeun" became King of Jerusalem. 
V Foulques (I90)
 
5025 Fulk is noted as "chronicler of the Counts of Anjou", so presumably he began a family history. He is known as "Fulk le Rechin" which means "Fulk the Rude". The reason for this name is unclear.

Fulk married Bertrada de Montfort, daughter of Simon I, Seigneur of Montfort Amauri and they had a son:

5030 Gabran was the youngest son of Domangart.[1] He served as king of Dal Riata (Dalriadic Scotland) after his brother, Comgall, from about 540 to 560[2] or 537 to 559.[3]

Gabran was the father of Aedan, Eoganan, Cuildeach, Domnall, and Domangart.[4]

Some research say, "Gabran was slain by Brude mac Melcon." And then in the fanaticus.org it states, "In 558 AD, King Brude Mac Maelchon of the Picts resoundly defeated the Dalraidic King Gabran in battle and in that same year Gabran died (whether or not he died in the battle is unclear). No further battles are recorded for 15 years. [5]

Gabrán mac Domangairt, the son of Domangart and Feldelm was a king of Dál Riata. [6]

He is the ancestor of the Cenél nGabráin [7]

5038 García I Fernández, conde de Castilla (Count of Castile) and Alava was the youngest of the four sons of Fernán González, conde de Castilla, and his first wife, Sancha Sánchez de Pamplona. His birth date is unknown, but as García first appears in a document dated to 1 February 944[1] he must have been before that date.[2], a date of about 938-940 is used by some secondary sources.[3],[1]

However another source states that García is not named with his three brothers; Gonzalo, Sancho and Munio in a document dated to 23 December 941, which means he must have been born in 942 or 943,[4] or circa 941 if he was still very young.[2]

conde de Castilla
García succeeded his father as conde de Castilla and Alava in 970 his elder brothers having died before that date, and first appears in a document from the monastery of San Cristobal de Ibeas, as comite Garzia Fredenandez in Castella on 1 March that year.[1],[2] There was no opposition to his succession from Alava or Castile or from García's overlord Ramiro III, King of Leon, which may indicate that he already had some autonomy in the region.[1]

In conjunction with other Christian rulers of the Iberian peninsula, who were extended family members, the first years of his rule saw much diplomatic activity with the Muslim rulers, particularly the Caliphate of Córdoba, which in this period reigned supreme over the rest of the peninsula.[1] However García broke the truce with Córdoba, when he attacked the castle of Deza on 2 September 974.[1]

Much of the rest of García's rule consisted of battling the Muslim rulers, particularly Almanazor,[4],[5] and also with problems in the Kingdom of Leon.[5]

In 991 or perhaps 994, his eldest son Sancho García, also rebelled, although the exact reasons for this are unknown.[6]

Death
He died in combat in Córdoba on 29 July 995 and was buried in San Pedro de Cardeña.[2]

Marriage and children
García I Fernández married about 962 and definitely before 12 July 970, Ava de Ribagorza, daughter of Raimundo II, conde de Ribagorza and Garsenda de Fezensac.[2] She was born circa 940 and died after 988, also being buried in San Pedro de Cardeña.[2]

They had seven children;[2]

Urraca García, Abbess of Covarrubias;
Sancho García, born circa 965, succeeded his father as Count of Castile;
Gonzalo García, born circa 966, and probably died young;
Toda García, born circa 968,
Elvira García, born circa 975, married Vermudo II, rey de León and had issue;
Mayor García, born circa 980, married Raimundo III Suniario, conde de Pallars

The counties of Carcassone and Bigorre
The medieval city of Carcassonne and its surrounding county Catalan: Comtat de Carcassona were part of the ancient region of Occitania, later a part of France that was called "Languedoc" by the French since the population spoke Occitan.
The county of Bigorre (Gascon: Bigòrra) was an historically independent county the Duchy of Gasconia (Duché de Gascogne), located in the upper watershed of the Adour, in the Pyrenees, in southwest France. Today Bigorre makes up the central and western part of the département of Hautes-Pyrénées, with two small exclaves in the neighboring Pyrénées Atlantiques.
Family
Garsinda (Garsinde, Comtesse de Bigorre) and her husband Bernat Rogièr (Bernard Roger, Seigneur de Foix et Comte de Carcassonne) are considered to have had six children together: [2]

Bernat (Bernard) de Foix - who succeeded his mother to become the Comte de Bigorre
Rogièr (Roger) de Foix - who became the Comte de Foix
Petro Bernat (Pierre Bernard) de Foix - who became the Comte de Couserans and later succeeded his brother as Comte de Foix
Heraclius (Heracle) de Foix - who became the Bishop of Bigorre
Gerberga, later Ermesinda de Foix - who married Ramiro I King of Aragón and became Queen Ermesinda of Aragón
Stefania (Etiennette) de Foix - who married, secondly, Garcia V King of Navarra and became the Queen Estefania of Navarra
Note: the parents of Bishop Heraclius de Foix and Stefania are considered to have been Bernard de Foix and Garsinda but the historic reports did not quote associated primary records confirming the parentage and are therefore not labelled as certain in their cases (see notes associated with their profiles).
Garsinda died in about 1032-34. Bernat Rogièr died on 22 Aug of 1036 (or potentially of 1038). [2]

5049 Gaylord is buried in Momence Cemetery in Momence, Illinois in the Wilson plot. In the plot is Delia and John Wilson, his parents; John (Jack), his younger brother; and his wife will be buried next to him when she dies.

He was an electrician in partnership with his brother, Wayne after both returned from their duty in the Army Air Corp during World War II. Their business was known as the Wilson Brothers Electrical

He and Dorothy were members of the Grant Park Methodist church. He attended it periodically most of his life.

Gaylord, always the smoker,died of conjestive heart failure and arterialscerosis. He also had cancer of the lungs.

During his life, he was always interested in local history, Indian lore and family genealogy. He collected antiques and especially antique tractors. He also had a big-wheel bicycle at one time which he would ride around town.

Another interest was in antique guns. He and brother, Wayne would often go to the World Champion Muzzleloader Gun Meet in Friendship, Indiana. His brother, Wayne won the title of World Champion several times. Both wore coonskin caps while attending this meet and dressed as Daniel Boone would have.

Gaylord and Dorothy never had children. This was due to complications of mumps as a teenager and rendered him sterile.

Of the four boys, Gaylord was the most talkative. He was very outgoing and loved a good story. He was also an excellant storyteller himself.

Before the war, he and his brothers had a service station at the edge of town (Grant Park), on the curve of the Dixie highway, heading towards Chicago. It also was a restaurant where one could get hamburgers, hotdogs and sandwiches and cold beer. This was sold before both went into the service to one of their friends. It continued for several years after their return.

Gay entered the ST. Mary's Hospital in Kankakee,suffering from lung cancer and conjestive heart failure. He never left there alive.

Dorothy, his widow, grieved for more than 10 years, wanting to die and join him. Twenty years later, she still survives him alone.

His Social Security number was 347-16-3825 issued in Illinois.

5051 Göthild Algotsdotter är enligt Ynglingasagan hustru till Ingjald Illråde. De har två barn: Olof och Åsa. Hennes far är Algot Götreksson, en av de tolv småkungarna som dödas av Ingjald Illråde. Hennes mor var Alöf som i sin tur var dotter till Olof den skarpsynte, kung av Närke. Göthild sänder sonen Olof till sin fosterfar Bove i Västergötland där han växer upp. [1]

Biography
Gauthildr Algautsdóttir (Swedish: Göthild Algotsdotter) (7th century) was, according to the Heimskringla, the daughter of the Geatish king Algaut and the wife of Ingjald Ill-ruler, a semi-legendary king of Sweden. She was the mother of Olof Trätälja, the last Yngling ruler of Sweden and Åsa who married Gudröd, a legendary king of Skåne. [2][3]


Ynglingasaga
According to the Ynglinga Saga Gauthild was daughter of Algaut, son of Gautrek the Mild who was son of Gaut. She married Ingjald the Bad. [4]

She was mother of Aasa and Olaf. [5]

ALGAUTSDATTER Gauthild (I58723)
 
5052 Götrik den milde är en mytomspunnen Götisk järnålderskung (järnåldern som begrepp är ett långt tidsspann, 550 f.Kr till 1050 e.Kr) som beskrivs i den fornnordiska Götrikssagan och som även förekommer i Ynglingasagan. Götrik ska ha varit son till kung Göte som sägs ha givit namn åt Götaland. Götrik sägs ha varit en mäktig konung och fader till Rolf Götriksson och Ketill Götriksson .

Alternativt så har han sonen Algöte/Algot, gift med Alöf, dotter till Olof den klarsynte, som får dottern Gauthildr/Göthild som gifter sig med Ingjall Illråde.

He is sometimes said to be married to Alof; this is a misinterpretation of Ynglinga saga and Upplendinga saga, which both name Alof the mother of Gauthild (and the wife of Algot).

Biography
Gautrekr was a legendary Geatish king who appears in several sources, such as Gautreks saga, Hrólfs saga Gautrekssonar, Bósa saga ok Herrauðs, Ynglinga saga, Nafnaþulur (part of the Prose Edda) and Af Upplendinga konungum.[1]

In the early setting, Gautrekr is the contemporary of legendary characters such as Starkad and the Swedish kings Erik and Alrik. He is then mentioned as father of Rolf Götriksson and Ketill Götriksson .


In the late setting, Gautrekr the Mild is the father of Algautr, the last Geatish king, in Scandinavian legends.

Both Af Upplendinga konungum and Ynglinga saga describe him as the son of Gaut, after whom Götaland (Geatland) took its name. Both sources tell that Gautrekr had a son named Algautr, married to Alof, whose daughter Gauthildr married the pre-Swedish king Ingjald Ill-ruler. [2]

The Ynglinga saga then continues by telling how the pre-Swedish king invited Algautr and several other petty kings to a banquet at Uppsala only to be burnt to death inside the hall where they had the banquet. Ingjald then proceeded to conquer the kingdoms of the dead kings.

GAUTSSON Götrik (I58727)
 
5053 Günther, was possibly the son of Ekkehard, a Count, and was perhaps born about 930. He was appointed Markgraf (Margrave) of the Bishopric of Merseburg in 968, was deprived of this position in 976 and then restored in 979.

He was killed fighting the Saracens near Cotrone (now called Crotone) in Calabria 13 July 982.

The name of his wife is unknown but he had 3 sons;

Ekkehard I, who succeeded as Markgraf von Meissen in 985;
Gunzelin, who followed his brother as Markgraf von Meissen in 1002, but abdicated in 1009, and died after 1017;
Bruno, a Count, who defended Meissen against the troops of Duke Bolesław I Chrobry of Poland in 1009.

5054 Gebhard founded Kloster Kettenbach in 845.
Birth
Gebhard was first mentioned as Graf im Niederlahngau in 832 and consequently his birth date is estimated from circa 795-810.[1] Given he died in or after 879, (see below) the later end of this range seems more appropriate.

Titles
Graf im Niederlahngau [2]
Parents
Father: Eudes (unproven) Comte d'Orleans [2]

Mother: UNKNOWN (disputed) first or second wife of Eudes [2]

The idea that Gebhard's father is Eudes, Comte d'Orleans is based on the work of Jackman (1997), who suggests Gebhard's sister is Ermentrude.[1][2]

Siblings
Ermentrude (unproven) married Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks. [2]
Marriage
Geghard married UNKNOWN (brother of Ernst I, Graf im Nordgau). [2]
Issue
Werner (d. after 04 Jan 877) [2]
Udo (d. 879 or later) [2]
Berengar (d. 879 or later) [2]
Waldo (b. 30 Oct; living 839) Monk. [2]
Bertholf (d. 02 Oct 883 - after Sep 869) Archbishop of Trier. [2]
Death
Gebhard died after 879. [2]
Research Notes
Jackman suggests that Gebhard was the brother of Ermentrude, first wife Charles II, King of the West Franks, and therefore son of Eudes d'Orléans. [3]

Research Notes
Appearance in Pedigree
He appears in a pedigree of Pughe, of Mathavarn, in Cyveilog, reaching back to biblical Adam, presented by Lewys Dwnn. The pedigree illustrates the fondness of the Welsh for pedigrees as well as the difficulty of determining at what point the pedigree moves from history to legend. [2]

The pedigree also appears in a work by the Powys-land Club.[3]

The complete pedigree is presented and discussed at Space: John Pughe's Descent from Adam

Genethawe ap Cain
Note: since the daughter originally attached is named Genedawc, he is probably a corruption of Gwyndog son of Cein and father of Iago. These were incorrectly mixed with the family of Iago ap Ieuan.

Crundmael is a descendant of one of the chief Irish families of Munster. The family of the Eoganachta of Glemnamnach stem from the three branches of the race of Heber: namely, the Dalcassians, the Eugenians (Éoganachta), and the Clan Cian. The Éoganachta are named for Éogan Mór, one the sons of Ailill Aulomm (Oilliol Olum), King of Munster. Their territory was Desmond, or South Munster, now the counties of Cork and Kerry, and a portion of county Tipperary. The Eoganacht ruled Munster from the seventh to the mid-tenth century.

5071 George A. Morison

Posted by Dick Campbell on Fri, 18 Jun 1999

>From the 1907 book by Alvin H. Wilcox, "A Pioneer History of Becker
County Minnesota" chapter XVIII, pages 269-271:

George A. Morison, nephew of William and Allan Morrison, was born in
St. Hyacinthe, Province of Quebec, Canada, October 4th, 1839; his
father being Donald Geo. Morison and his mother M. A. Rosalie
Papineau, daughter of D. B. Papineau, and niece of the Hon. Louis
Papineau, the talented leader of the French element in Canada, and
the principal instigator of the Canadian rebellion of 1837.

Morison attended common schools until nearly ten years of age, then
went to college for five years in his native village, rounding up his
education with a four year term in a large village store.

He visited the west in 1858 and 1859, spending several months in Old
Superior, Wisconsin, in Crow Wing on the Mississippi, and also at
Long Prairie, the old agency for the Winnebago Indians.

That was in the early days, when travel was by canoes or over Indian
trails, and the trip from Superior to Crow Wing was made in a birch
canoe, up the St. Louis River to Floodwood River, which was followed
nearly to its source, thence over a portage into Prairie River, which
flows into Sandy Lake, and thence into he Mississippi River.

He returned to Canada in November, 1859, where he remained a few
years. In May 1865, he landed in St. Paul, Minnesota, and lived in
Little Falls and Crow Wing during the next three or four years.

He started in business at Leech Lake in January, 1869, and in the
fall of the same year came to White Earth annuity payment with a
stock of goods which he eventually closed out to Wm. W. McArthur,
then a licensed Indian trader there. In August, 1870, Morison and
McArthur combined their business and carried on trading in the Indian
country, under government license, at Leech Lake, Red Lake, White
Earth and Otter Tail, under the above firm name, dissolving co-
partnership in August, 1871; Morison retaining all trading posts in
the Chippewa country, except that of Otter Tail, where McArthur
continued in business. Morison remained in the Indian trade until
July, 1880, and made his headquarters at White Earth Agency during
the last five years of his career as an Indian trader. He, however,
continued to live on the reservation, where he carried on farming and
stock raising, on a small scale, with his cousin Allan Morrison, Jr.

In the fall of 1882, he in company with Arnold A. Ledeboer, also of
White Earth, opened a general store at Red Lake Falls, Minnesota, (at
that time a very much boomed town), but owing to a series of bad crop
years, low prices, and general dull times, the venture was not
successful and they closed their business in 1887; Morison returned
to White Earth.

In the fall of 1894, he entered government service at White Earth
Agency, and later, in January 1896, was stationed at Red Lake Sub-
Agency, as reservation overseer, a position he held until July 1st,
1901, when he returned to White Earth. Since January, 1905, he has
formed part of the office staff at the agency, having charge of the
allotting of land under the provisions of the "Steenerson Act."

By an Indian wife he has one son, Allan F. Morison, born February
6th, 1882. He has been in the government Indian service for a number
of years and is now attached to the agency office force.

It will be noticed that William and Allan Morrison wrote their names
with two r's, while Geo. A. Morison writes the name with only one r,
as did a long line of ancestors before him. This difference in
writing the name, was brought about in a curious manner. When William
Morrison joined the Northwest Fur Company, he had to sign article of
engagement, as they called it at the time, to serve for five years,
and the notary who did the writing, wrote the name Morrison, as did
other branches of the family; when William came to sign, he called
the notary's attention to the error in spelling, but was told that it
mattered little, to sign it as written and it would be just as good.
Several years later when Allan Morrison, his brother, came to Lake
Superior, he also had to write his name as his elder brother did, and
hence the change in their manner of writing the name. In the Island
of Lewis, Scotland, which is the cradle of the family, the name has
been spelt for a thousand years or more, with only one r, thus,
Morison.

Battle of Fontenoy:[citation needed]

Ludwig I died on 20 June 840, on an island in the Rhine, while the head of an army he led against his son Louis. On 24 July in Strasbourg 840 the new Emperor Lothair said that everything must be under its control and with his nephew Pepin II to attack it from the Loire river on an old Roman road. The preparations of war committed on both sides. The Count of Paris, Girard II who married Bertha, sister of Tours Ermengarde, wife of Lothaire, is in the camp of his brother-in-law. In March 841, the Burgundians Guérin faithful to join their king. In May, Louis and his troops, who join in Châlons-sur-Marne. In June, Pépin II and found its Aquitanians Lothaire Auxerre.Les 150 to 000 men on each side are in battle since June 21. Tradition has it that Charles has set up its camp at Thury on the Hill Roichat. Lothair and Pepin II will prevail when all of a sudden, the arrival of Guerin (or Warin or Garin), Duke of Provence, at the head of an army of southern reverses the situation. If everyone has chosen their camp, this is not the case of the Marquis Bernard de Septimanie, awaiting the outcome of the confrontation before heading to the winner. Finally, the confrontation ended with a resounding victory of Charles the Bald and his half-brother Louis the German. The losses amount to 40 000 deaths, including Gérard comte d'Auvergne and Ricouin (near Charles) de Nantes. In principle Lothaire is reconciled on the tomb of St Germain in Auxerre, but this is just a sham as the conflict resumed in February 842 and 14 in a snowstorm before the walls of Strasbourg and Louis Charles exchanged before their armies for oaths to strengthen their alliance against Lothair. They get another victory to the west of Koblenz. Lothaire had fled to Aachen in March 842 taking refuge in Lyon. The preliminaries of peace were signed in an island in the Saône near Macon, June 15 with 842 out of sharing a treaty signed at Verdun in early August 843; Yutz confirmed in 844 and 847 in Meerssen.
Low Burgundy with counties towns of Chalon-sur-Saône, Autun, Mâcon, Nevers, Auxerre, Sens, Tonnerre, Avallon and Dijon, is attached to the kingdom of Charles. On 25 June 841, the Battle of Fontenoy determined the partition of the empire of Charlemagne. The nations that are formed embryos were from Germany, Italy and France. The Western world was marked by the fall of an empire so powerful.[citation needed][3]

LIUDOLFING Gerberga (I58398)
 
5087 Gerberga (Fr: Gerberge, Lat: Tiburgia) became the Comtesse de Provence shortly after the death of Bertrand II Comte de Provence, who was the son of Geoffrey I Comte de Provence and his wife Mathilde. [1] [2]

Note regarding parentage:
Early biographers had suggested that Gerberge may have been a younger daughter of Geoffrey I de Provence (the father of Bertrand II Comte de Provence) - but that has since been questioned and evidence indicates that she is much more likely to have been a daughter of Bertrand II rather than his younger sister (see Research Notes).
Marriage and Family
Gerberga married Girbert de Millau, Vicomte de Gévaudan, de Millau et de Carlat. [2] [3] [4]

Gerberga and Girbert had two children together: [2]

Stephania (Etiennete) de Gévaudan, who married Raymond de Baux, Seigneur de Berre [5]
Dolça / Dulcia (Douce) de Gévaudan, who married (3 Feb 1112) Ramón Berenguer de Barcelona [6]
Death and Succession
Gerberge died sometime between 3 Feb 1112 and Jan 1118. She was succeeded by her daughter Dolça as Dolça / Douce Comtesse de Provence, Vicomtesse de Millau, de Gévaudan et de Carlat. [2] [6]

Research Notes
Regarding parentage:
Key evidence that Gerberge was more likely the daughter of Bertrand II rather than his younger sister includes the fact that, following the death of Bertrand in about 1090/94 (between 19 Apr 1090 and 28 Jul 1094), Bertrand's mother Stephania "Dulcis" (Fr: Etiennette Douce) (who was the widow of Geoffrey I de Provence) was again referred to as the Comtesse de Provence (as Dulcis comitissa) in a charter of 28 Jul 1094 after the death of her son (who had been the count for many years) - presumably carrying the title again in the capacity of a regent for a minor. [2] [7]
Further consistent with the relationship of Gerberge as the daughter of Bertrand rather than his younger sister, the chronology of related births reflects that Gerberge apparently married and had her two known children several years later (by about 1100). If Gerberge had instead been the daughter of Geoffrey rather than Bernard, she would have been in her mid-thirties by that time (since Geoffrey died in about 1060) - and there is no apparent basis for the succession of Provence to have passed from Bernard back to his mother (rather than Gerberge), before soon being with Gerberge. [2] [7]

PROVENCE Gerberga (I59654)
 
5088 Gerberga of Lotharingia (later Comtesse de Louvain / Gravin van Leuven) was the daughter of Charles, Duke of Lower Lotharingia and Adelais de Troyes / Vermandois. Her paternal grandfather was Louis IV "d'Outremer," King of the Franks (West Francia). [1] [2] [3] [4]

Lower and Upper Lotharingia

Lotharingia / Lothringen / Lotharingie
10th century
Lotharingia (lat:Lotharii, nl: Lotharingen, fr: Lotharingie (later Lorraine), de: Lothringen) comprised the territory of "Middle Francia" originally granted to Lothar on division of the Carolingian Empire in 855. It included the territories that make up the modern-day Benelux countries (Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg) - as well as the eastern portion of France and the Rhineland of Germany. The region was generally part of the Holy Roman Empire but was the subject of frequent political and territorial conflict between the Western Franks (who established the Kingdom of France) and the Eastern Franks (who were associated with the emerging Kingdom of Germany) - particularly from 962 when Otto of Saxony was crowned as the Holy Roman Emperor.
Lotharingia was partitioned in 959 into "Lower Lotharingia" (the lower Northern region) and "Upper Lotharingia" (the higher more Southern region). Upper Lotharingia became a Duchy and was increasingly influenced by the Western Franks - and in Old French the term Loherigne and Loherainc were increasingly used for the territories and people - which later developed into the word Lorraine in French.
Marriage and Family
By about 995 (991-1000), Gerberga was married to Lambert Reginar de Louvain (later Comte de Louvain / Graaf van Leuven), who was a member of the Lotharingian noble family known as the “Régniers” or “Reginar(id)s” and was the son of Rainier Reginar, Régnier III, Comte de Hainaut / Graaf van Henegouwen and his wife Adela. Gerberga's dowry in connection with the marriage was Brabant (including Louvain and Brussels). [1] [2] [4] [5] [6] [7]

The Genealogica comitum Buloniensium records that "Karolus dux" was father of "Ermengardem et Gerbergam", and that "Gerberga soror Ermengardis" was mother of "Henricum seniorem de Bursella". The Gesta Abbatem Trudonensium names "Gerbergam, filiam Karoli ducis Lotharingie" as wife of "Lambertus filius Reyneri comitis Montensis", specifying that Brabant (including Louvain and Brussels) was her dowry. [5]
Gerberga and Lambert had at least three children together: [5] [6] [7]

Henri, who succeeded his father as Henri I, Comte de Louvain
Lambert, who succeeded his elder brother as Lambert II, Comte de Louvain
Mathilde, who married Eustace de Boulogne
Another child is proposed by historians based on their descendants: [6]

Reinier / Reginar
Reign of Lambert I de Louvain, Death and Succession
Gerberga's husband Lambert and his brother Reginar were actively involved in struggles for control over the territories of Lotharingia (modern-day Belgium) between the Kingdom of France - with whom they were generally aligned - and Otto II of Germany who had become the Holy Roman Emperor in 973 and King of Italy in 980. [5] [6]

Her husband Lambert became the first Count of Louvain (Comte de Louvain / Graaf van Leuven) by 1003. [5] [6]

Lambert was killed in battle at Florennes in the county of Namur on 12 Sep 1015 and was succeeded by their eldest son Henri, who became Henri I, Comte de Louvain. [5] [6]

The Gesta of Gembloux Abbey records that "filio suo comite Heinrico" supported his mother's donation to Gembloux after the death in battle in 1015 of his father "Lantbertum comitem, filium Ragineri Longicolli" [5]
Gerberga died after 1018 and was buried at Nivelles, south of Brussels. [1] [5]

5092 Gerbod was possibly the hereditary advocate (advocatus, vogt, avoué) at the abbey of Saint-Bertin in St Omer in Flanders (now within France). Alternatively he was at least a relative of this family, who often used this name.[1]

Complete Peerage says he was made Earl of Chester in 1070, but...

He returned, shortly afterwards, to his native country, where he was taken prisoner at the battle of Cassel [in Flanders], 1071, and kept captive for a long period, never coming back to England.

5095 Gerold von Anglachgau was born about 730.[1] He is considered of Frankish origin mostly because his substantial possessions in the Middle Rhine area. It is likely he was one of the imperial aristocrats tasked with integrating Alemannia into the Carolingian empire after the Blood Court at Cannstatt in 746.[1]

Title

Graf im Kraichgau[2]
Parents

Gerold's parents are unknown. Connections to the Agilolfinger, e.g. based on a donation to the Lorsch monastery by an Egilolfus and Geroldus, dated 12 Jun 767,[3] are inconclusive at best.
Marriage

Based on the birth of their daughter Hildegard about 758 Gerold most likely married Imma, the daughter of Hnabi, a comes in Alemannia, in the mid-750s.[1]
The following children appear to be certain:
1. Gerold II,
2. Udalrich I,
3. Voto,
4. Hildegard.
Other children are likely but must remain uncertain:

5. Megingoz,
6. Adrian,
7. Erbio.
Research Note
For a last name English and French sources use Vinzgau or Vintzgau, Anglachgau in German and Spanish. Neither the English Wikipedia article List of medieval Gaue nor the German Liste mittelalterlicher Gaue mentions a Vinzgau or Vintzgau. Close are Vinschgau, Linzgau, and Pfinzgau. Vinschgau was part of Churrätien and south of the Alpine divide, unlikely to be the place of origin for the Geroldonen. Linzgau belonged to Warin, also unlikely. Pfinzgau is a possibility as it was part of Kraichgau where Gerold was comes. Another name, Venzigau, appears in some lists but its location is unknown.

No early medieval record I have consulted so far names Gerold in conjunction with a Vinzgau. It remains unclear how this name came into use in English and French literature.

5097 Gersend du Maine (b. 1025/35).[2]

Gersende-Berthe, Countess du Maine was born in 1019 in Maine, Charente, Poitou-Charentes, France. She was the daughter of Herbert I, Eveille-chien, Comte de Maine.

Gersende married Theobald III Comte De Blois, De Champagne, [Thibaud I Comte De CHAMPAGNE (III) De Blois], son of Count Of Blois Eudes II Comte De Champagne and Blois, and Ermengarde De Auvergne. Theobald was born about 1012/3 in Blois, Loir-Et-Cher, Orleanais/Centre, France, died in 1089 in Champagne, about age 76, and was buried in St. Martins, Epernay, Marne, Champagne. He was count of Blois, Meaux and Troyes. He was the son of Odo II of Bloisand Ermengarde of Auvergne.

Maybe Thibaud III, Comte de Blois was the son of Eudes I, Comte de Champagne and Bertha de Bourgogne, before 1045.

Theobald III of Blois (French: Thibaut) (1012 - 1089) was count of Blois, Meaux and Troyes. He was son of Odo II of Blois and Ermengarde of Auvergne.
Theobald inherited amongst others the counties of Blois, Tours, Chartres. Chateaudun and Sancerre, and also in Champagne: Chateau-Thierry, Provins and St. Florentin. His brother Stephen inherited the counties of Meaux, Troyes and Vitry.
Theobald had a position of considerable power, that increased when he married the daughter of Raoul de Valois. From 1074 onward, he left his son Henry in control of Blois, Chateaudun and Chartres.

They had one child together, Stephen II Henry, Comte de Blois b. c 1045, d. 19 May 11021, originally he was named Henry, later he adopted the name of Stephen. Stephen "Le Sage" Comte De Champagne & BLOIS was born about 1046 in Blois, Loir-Et-Cher, Orleanais/Centre, France and died on 27 May 1102 in Ramlah, Palestine (On Crusade Of 1101) 1526, about age 56. Another name for Stephen was Stephen "Le Sage" Comte De Blois & CHAMPAGNE.

Gersende had divorced Thibaud by 1048. Gersende's separation from her 1st husband supposedly didn't happen until 1048, but alternative theories place it earlier than 1045. She and Thibaud III, Comte de Blois were divorced in 1049.

Gersende next married Alberto Azzo II Marquis D' ESTE,2341 son of Albert Azzo I Of Tuscany, Marquis D' ESTE and Valdrada Of VENICE, after 1048 in 2ND Husband 2ND Wife. Alberto was born on 10 July 1009 in Este, Tuscany, Italy and died on 20 August 1097 at age 88.

Gersenda, aged 80-81, died on 10 May 1100 at Maine, Charente, Poitou-Charentes, France.

Alternatively, Gersende Du MAINE, was born about 1019 in Le Mans, Sarthe, Maine/Pays-DE-La-Loire, France and died before 1096.

The wars
Theobald conspired against the king of France Henry I, was beaten in 1044 and had to give up the county of Tours to regain his freedom. From then on the centre of power for the House of Blois moved to Champagne. Theobald found ways to become close to the royal court again and gain influence. He got the title of Count Palatine, which his father had used before. He used this influence to get control over his brother's possessions in Champagne that were inherited by his minor nephew Odo III [of Troyes?]. Odo later joined the army of William the Conqueror, participated in the battle of Hastings, married a sister of William and became count of Aumale and Holderness.

Theobald's second wife Adèle of Valois, daughter of Raoul II of Valois and Adélaide of Bar sur Aube, bore 3 children.

The First Crusade was launched in 1095 by Pope Urban II to regain control of the sacred city of Jerusalem and the Christian Holy Land from Muslims. What started as an appeal to the French knightly class quickly turned into a wholesale migration and conquest of territory outside of Europe. Both knights and peasants from many different nations of western Europe, with little central leadership, travelled over land and by sea towards Jerusalem and captured the city in July 1099, establishing the Kingdom of Jerusalem and the other Crusader states. Although these gains lasted for fewer than two hundred years, the Crusade was a major turning point in the expansion of Western power, and was the only crusade-in contrast to the many that followed-to achieve its stated goal and capture Jerusalem.

Battle of Ramla can refer to a number of battles in the early years of the crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem. Ramla was an important town on the road from Jerusalem to Ascalon, the latter of which was the largest Fatimid fortress in Palestine. From Ascalon the Egyptians could launch an attack into the newly-founded kingdom every year, and it was often the case that the two armies met each other at Ramla.

5101 Gertrud Countess In Nordgau died 1077-07-21 in Nordgau, Thuringia, Thueringen, Germany. NORDGAU Gertrud (I59383)
 
5102 Gertrude of Saxony (also known as Gertrude Billung) (c. 1030 - August 4, 1113), was the daughter of Bernard II, Duke of Saxony and Eilika of Schweinfurt. She married Floris I, Count of Holland (c. 1017 - June 28, 1061) c. 1050, and upon his death, her son Dirk V became Count of Holland. Since he was still young, she became regent.
When Dirk V came into power, William I, Bishop of Utrecht, took advantage of the situation, occupying territory that he had claimed in Holland. Gertrude and her son withdrew to the islands of Frisia (Zeeland), leaving William to occupy the disputed lands.
In 1063 Gertrude married Robert of Flanders (Robert the Frisian), the second son of Baldwin V of Flanders. This act gave Dirk the Imperial Flanders as an appanage - including the islands of Frisia west of the Frisian Scheldt. She and her husband then acted as co-regents for the young count.
Family and children: She had a total of seven children with Floris I:
1. Albrecht (b. ca. 1051), a canon in Liege.
2. Dirk V (ca. 1052, Vlaardingen-17 June 1091).
3. Pieter (b. ca. 1053), a canon in Liége.
4. Bertha (ca. 1055-1094, Montreuil-sur-Mer), who married Philip I of France in 1072.
5. Floris (b. ca. 1055), a canon in Liége.
6. Machteld (b. ca. 1057)
7. Adela (b. ca. 1061), who married Count Baudouin I of Guînes.
From her second marriage to Robert I she had five children:
1. Robert II of Flanders (c. 1065 - October 5, 1111).
2. Adela (d.1115), who first married king Canute IV of Denmark, and was the mother of Charles the Good, later count of Flanders. She then married Roger Borsa, duke of Apulia.
3. Gertrude, who married Thierry II, Duke of Lorraine, and was the mother of Thierry of Alsace, also later count of Flanders.
4. Philip of Loo, whose illegitimate son William of Ypres was also a claimant to the county of Flanders.
5. Ogiva, abbess of Messines.

BILLUNG Gertrude (I58574)
 
5103 Gertud von Northeim was the daughter of Heinrich 'der Fette' von Northeim, and his wife Gertrud von Braunschweig.[1]

Her birth date is never mentioned in any of the early sources, but as she had three children with her first husband who was killed on 3 September 1113, and that marriages tended to be when women were still in their teens, a birth date of about 1095 seems reasonable.

First marriage and children
Grafin (Countess) Gertrud von Northeim married firstly, before 27 August 1111, Siegfried von Ballenstedt, Graf von Orlamund and Pfalzgraf von Lothringen.

They had three children;

Siegfried II, succeeded his father as Graf von Orlamunde, died 19 March 1124;
Wilhelm, succeeded his brother as Graf von Orlamunde;
Adela, married as his second wife; Konrad, Graf von Peilstein.
Grafin (Countess) Gertrud von Northeim lost her first husband when Siegfried was killed in battle on 3 September 1113.

Second marriage and children
Grafin (Countess) Gertrud von Northeim married secondly circa 1115, Otto von Salm, later Graf von Rheineck and Bentheim, Pfalzgraf von Lothringen.

Grafin (Countess) Gertrud von Northeim also had three children with Otto von Salm:

Otto von Rheineck;
Sophie von Rheineck, married Dirk VI, Count of Holland;
Beatrix von Rheineck, married Wilbrand, Graf von Loccum und Hallermund.
Grafin (Countess) Gertrud von Northeim lost her husband in 1150 when Otto von Salm was murdered by strangulation. in 1150, before 12 November.

Later life
Grafin (Countess) Gertrud von Northeim is referred to as Gertrude von Bentheim (Gertrude comitissa Benthemiensi and Gertrudis de Benthem) in two charters dated to 1150-1154 and 1154.[1]

This appears to be the last mention of Gertud and she died sometime between 1154 and 1165 when she is definitely referred to as deceased.

Death
Grafin (Countess) Gertrud von Northeim is buried at Loccum according to the Medieval Lands Database.

Research Notes
Bayern (Bavaria) is inappropriate as the LNAB for this family. Gertrud's grandfather Otto von Northeim was appointed Duke of Bavaria in 1061 but was deprived of this territory in 1070 and neither he nor any of his family were ever to regain Bavaria.

5104 Gervais served as an archdeacon of Rheims before being nominated as Archbishop of Rheims by the King's supporters against Raoul the Green in 1106 The next year Paschall II declared him unfit, quashed his election and Gervais resigned as archbishop in 1109, returning to his former role as archdeacon

Upon the death of his elder brother, Manasser, in 1115, Gervais resigned from the clergy and married Elisabeth, daughter of Godfrey I, Count of Namur and in 1118 he succeeded his father as Count of Rethel.

Gervais died in 1124 and his widow Elizabeth remarried to Roger Clarembauld, Lord of Rosoi in Thierache who gave the hand of his step-daughter to Robert Marmion, Baron of Tamworth

Because Gervais' younger brother Baldwin was in the Holy Land, where he served as King of Jerusalem, he was succeeded as ruler of Rethel by his sister Matilda and her husband Odo of Vitry

5105 Getting a Jump on Life: 90 Years of Flying in the Face of Obstacles, Overcoming Hardships and Making My Own Way

Author's Statement

I inherited a skydiving former-nurse from my mother. Aileen Fritch, who had gone to nursing school with my Mom and remained a close family friend, was always present in our lives. I remember being fascinated not only by her amazingly funny stories but by her attitutde toward life.
She raised a son with cerebral palsy when the normal practice in the 1950s was to institutionalize such children. She had been abandoned by her husband, the baby's father. She worked as a single mom and continued working after she married and had two more children at a time when women usually stayed home and tended to their families. She worked as a nurse until she was eighty. These facts are a product of her attitude towared life but they don't capture what caught my attention about her.

Was it that she always expected to come out ahead and on top no matter what life threw her way? No victim role or self-pity music for Aileen. Life wasn't what she endured; it was what she sought out and shaped according to her dreams and imagination. Engaging is a good word. Anyone who dealt with her would readily be engaged by her wit and intelligence. Above all, she seemed willing, eager and able to wrangle with life.

Part of why I am writing this book is to define for myself how Aileen lives her life. What gives her such amazing resilience? Where does she get the ability to expand life and to shatter people's expectations? She lived her life with her eyes and mind wide open long before the women's movement cleared away obstacles for us. Of course, I also want to study how she lives as an older person in our society. At 93 she is part of a growing number of peope living longer and better. I want to see how she does it and prepare myself!

Aileen and I have spent hours upon hours in interviews and discussions about her life and how I'm writing her story. Her articulate and witty delivery provides the right material for her book. I shaped, rearranged and clarified material, expanded dialogue, and made connections. But this is her story in her words. And what words! The chapters included her given an idea of who we are dealing with – not merely a feisty lady who lives her life on her own terms. What emerges from her story is also the journey of a soul. Underneath the fun and fascination of knowing Aileen, I always felt a strong soul connection. Her story slowly reveals what propels and supports her – a strong connection to God, her inner source.

Chapter 1 - Jump

I'm sure people are wondering why I would want to go skydiving for my 90th birthday. Probably when you finish reading my life story, you'll say "No wonder she wants to jump out of an airplane!"

I've always felt life is an opportunity that has to be taken advantage of before it slips away. What's the term folks use today – proactive? As a kid when life got too quiet and ordinary, I always thought of something to shake things up. I don't know how much my attitude and efforts were appreciated by others around me, but life wasn't dull for too long if I had anything to do about it.

Jumping from a plane turned out to be another way to inject some energy into this stage of my life. Growing old isn't a lof of fun in itself, is it? Why not see what will make it better and more interesting, what will bring new people into my life, and show others what can be done. In other words, get a jump on this business of life. When I saw 90 coming over thill, I figured I needed to do something fun and interesting. That's what I did. It was a great day.

I'm doing it! I am in this plane and I'm really going to jump. I had better! The St. Paul Pioneer Press did a story on me and down there waiting for me to jump is a camera crew from the local CBS affiliate. I seemed to have caused quite a stir. I don't know why. I watched a lot of programs about skydiving and always thought it looked like fun. Definitely something I'd want to do. So here I am.

The plane is circling around dropping other parachutists. I see all different looks on their faces as they head out the door. Most are eager and excited. Today's not the greatest day to be jumping. The weather is overcast and drizzly. But we're doing it anyway. It's almost my turn.

I'm securly attached to Terry McCullough, my handsome, delightful and confidence-inspiring jumping partner. He's going to guide me through this crazy jump. He's also the owner of Skydive Twin Cities, based at the Wisconsin airport where we're doing the jump.

When we met, I said, "Terry, I usually don't mention my age or have regrets about being the age I am. But this one time I wish I were 60 years younger."

Terry has briefed me on what to expect and what happens when we jump out of the plane into thin air. I'm fascinated and eager to go. I've been wrapped, packed, zipped up, buckled in and attached. I'm getting antsy. I want to see what happens.

My landing is going to be perfect. That's what I told everybody. I promised to do a better job than the senior Bush. No landing on my bottom for me! Once I land, we'll go to my church for a birthday party with all my family and friends.

Who would have thought that a rascally farm kid from Towner, North Dakota, would be skidiving into the next phase of her life!

What a jump!

What a life!

Chapter 2 – Family

I was born on Wednesday, June 27, in 1914, between one and two in the afternoon. But that afternoon was the Ladies' Aid Society meeting day at church and my mother was supposed to be serving. My grandmother was quite upset that I had to be born exactly at that time. My poor mother told me that her mother-in-law had suggested, "Maybe you could come for a little while and help."

Mrs. Shipman, the midwife, delivered me and all the children in the area. I was my mother's first. In all she had four, but Edna Karen, born two years after me, died from pneumonia at age two. When she died, my Aunt Anna, a teacher, told my parents, "Don't worry about Aileen Dying. Nothing's going to happen to her. Neither the devil nor the Lord wants her." I guess my character was already notorious at age four. My sister Ruth Mamie was four years younger and brother John Verner, nine. I was named Aileen Helen after my Swedish grandmother who raised birds.

When I look back on my childhood and my family, I try to figure out who and what were the influences on my life. I'm not sure I can trace any direct effects except that several of my ancestors were strong-minded and individualistic. But, truthfully, I can't find anyone to blame for how I turned out.

My father's mother – the one I named after and who raised birds – was from Stockholm, Sweden. Her mother (my great-grandmother) was a lady-in-waiting to the queen of Sweden, My grandmother, Aileen Helen, loved her birds. She learned how to raise them in Stockholm an brought the skill to America with her. For as long as I can remember, she raised her jubilee warblers in a room built onto a corner of the kitchen. It had special isinglass windows and a thermometer. The room had to be kept warm. The birds lived in beautiful wooden cages. She sold her canaries to customers in New York. Her warblers were guaranteed to sing and she made a lot of money from them. Letters came to her addressed "Dear Bird Lady." When the birds were laying eggs, we had to whisper in the kitchen. We were so excited to see the new birds when they were born, but we couldn't make any noise. She was very skillful and worked with them to make sure they sang. She hummed and sang to them when she was in their room to accustom the birds to singing. It was as if she were teaching in a school for birds. If one of them didn't sing loudly enough, she'd stand right next to the bird and talk to it. When they were ready, she would ship them to her customers by rail. It seemed from what I was told that the railroad men cared for the birds all along the way. They regarded it as a special privilege to watch out for her birds and make sure they were all right. She never had one returned because it didn't sing.

My grandmother was fascinating to me. I remember she was always well-groomed and dressed like a lady – an elegant lady not usually seen in small towns. Her dresses were full of frilly things [Gibeau]. Her hair was braided and held in place with hairpins that glittered. She wore the braid like a crown and to me she looked like a queen. She also wore gorgeous hats that a cousin of hers in New York sent her. Once she got a hat with a stuffed white bird on it. Grandmother was furious that a bird had been killed to make a hat.

Her husband, my grandfather, had sailed around the world twice as a ship's captain. Everyone addressed him as Captain Ekstrom. I don't know why my grandparents decided to homestead in North Dakota. Besides the farm they had, my grandfather also ran a dray line with horses. He never walked along the street, he tipped his hat to every lady he met. Unfortunately, Grandfather had poor eyesight. He was hit by a train – he didn't see it. They brought him home with a severe concussion and put him to bed. The doctor said he wouldn't last long. Everyone gathered around glumly waiting for his death. I was about eight years old and for Grandfather to get hurt was unimaginable to me. He was such an important part of our lives. He had taught us the names of all the stars and showed us how to use the sextant. We were all feeling sad and resigned as we sat together in the kitchen. Suddenly he burst through the door wrapped in a blanket with a lampshade on his head and another blanket over his arm. "Ladies," he announced, "I think I'm going to leave now." His head was a little off but he was up and walking and he did recover. Grandfather Ekstrom had given my grandmother yellow diamond earrings for their wedding. He had brought them back from a seafaring trip. She always wore the canary diamonds. They sparkled like the sun when she moved her head. When she died, he insisted that the earrings be left on her. We asked him why. "They belong to her," he said, "and I'll be able to find her in heaven because she'll be wearing them."

My mother's family was from Norway. My mother, Nettie Haugen, came to America as an infant with her mother, father and two brothers. They settled in northern Minnesota near other family members who farmed. They were a close-knit group. Norwegian was their main language. The kids learned English at school but always spoke Norwegian at home. People said that in our town even the dogs barked in Norwegian.

Mother married a Swede, John William Ekstrom. The name, shortened for Ekstrommer when my grandfather came through immigration, means "Strong Oak." They settled on a farm near the Canadian border in North Dakota. They were self-sufficient like all farmers before the turn of the last century. Mother made baby underwear out of men's old long johns. Home medicine was an art and a science practiced by the farm women. Mother had a book of household medicine, but went beyond it. Neighbors came to consult with her. She was always whipping up drinks, making mustard platers, or administering some cathartic treatment for illness. I remember that vanilla extract – expensive and hard to get – was the most precious item in the house. She was furious when she discovered that her sister-in-law's husband drank up one of two bottle she had purchased to have on hand.

Our dairy farm was right outside of Towner, North Dakota, near Minot. Besides running our farm, my father operated the grain elevator in town and served as fire chief of our town' volunteer fire deparment for forty-five years.

I remember that we had a wonderful shared phone line and I could listen in on conversations. That was great fun. Everyone on the phone line had their own special ring so I knew who was getting a call. I'd lifted the receiver very carefully so as not to make any noise. I found out a lot about people and life through the phone line.

Our life on the farm was planned around the cows. We had to get back home in time to milk them. We had to get up early to feed them and stay around for calving season in the spring. We were a self-sufficient family. We bought sugar, flour and raisins. Everything else we raised and processed ourselves. We canned everything from the pig except its squeal. The pig's bladder we washed, blew up and used as a football – the original pigskin. All the farm kids played with pigskins.

My family had large gardens and I helped with the gardening. I worked ouside most of the time. I was not an indoor person. Starting at age seven, my summer job was helping in the hayfields combining. The combine has two wheels and gathers up the hay. It's pulled across the field by a team of horses. My job was to drive the horses ahead which would raise the extended arm and pull in the hay. I loved haying season and working in the fields. I wore coveralls all the time. I never wanted to be a girl anyway. To me it was pitiful that every Saturday I had to wash my hair and have my hair put in rags so I looked nice for church on Sunday.

My father's favorite summation of me what that I was the poorest possible advertisement for a dairy farm in the world – skinny with never an ounce of fat on me.

I don't think we thought anything of the hard winters we had with snow several feet high and covering everything in sight. Although we didn't live too far from town, there'd be a days that we'd never leave the house except to go to the barn and tend the animals. Heavy ropes were strung from the house to the barns to guide us when we went out in snow storms when the snow was falling so thickly we couln't see a foot ahead.

Winter was made more bearable because of Christmas and all the rituals around the holiday. On Christmas Eve my dad pulled out a huge flatbed and filled it with hay. He hitched up Molly and Sue, the horses, and put bells on their harnesses. Ten or more people – friends and family – settled onto the straw and we drove into town a mile a way to go caroling at friends' houses. After that we came back to the house where our lutefisk and lefse dinner was ready. Lutefisk is the Scandinavian delicacy that folks in Minnesota joke about. The lutefisk came in huge slabs, solid as a rock. It had to be soaked for three days before Christmas, then boiled. Now it comes frozen in tidy packages. However, it still retains its characteristic, unmistakable fishy fragrance. We also had lefse – a torilla-like bread made from potatoes – and sunbackle, a little pastry filled with dates and nuts. Quite delicious. Grandfather would make a beautiful speech. Everyone would be very quiet as he spoke. Then we'd go into the living room to open presents around the tree. It had real was candles in metal holders that attached to the tree branches. After the gifts were distributed and opened, the candles were blown out. The children would have to go to bed to wait to see what Santa Claus would bring on Christmas morning.

My mother told me this story about one of her Christmases as a young girl. She was six years old and had never owned a doll. That Christmas the Lutheran Church was going to give out dolls and toys to the children. Her parents bundled her up and they drove the horse and buggy all the way into town from their farm. My mother was so excited. She could visualize her new doll and feel it in her arms. She had made a special place for the doll to sleep in her bed. But when they arrived, there were no more dolls left. All the way back home to the farm my mother felt so sad. On Christmas morning, though, she opened her eyes and saw a doll sitting at the foot of her bed. It was so beautiful and finely dressed that she could hardly believe the doll was real. She held it in her arms – her first doll. Her father had stayed up all night carving the doll out of wood while her mother sewed the doll's dress using her own clothes and cut her own hair to us for the doll's hair.

Chapter 3 – Childhood

I got myself born into a wonderful family with interesting people and into a wide-open space where I could roam and explore and feel free. I needed that. I like open spaces. I think the people who raised me were glad I had open spaces to run and wander in and that I had horses to race and cows to care for. I love doing things and there's always something to do on a farm. I also love being with people and find others fascinating. Of course, I have strong opinions about others and clearly I wasn't timid about acting on them.

Hmmmm, I wonder if in today's terms my behavior would be called acting out. Or maybe I would have diagnosed with attention deficit syndrome!

Reputation – Galoshes

I had a reputation that I worked hard for. We attended a small Episcopalian church in town. On a particularly cold snowy Sunday when the pastor had left his galoshes outside, I got my firend Ruth to help me fill them with water.

Vet-reading

Aunt Anna, my dad's sister who was a teacher, taught me to read and write before I went to school. She loved to read and would wash the dishes with a book propped up at the sink. She gave me books. My dad treated all the animals and had lots of veterinary books. I read them and learned about the birds and bees that way. I really wanted to be a surgeon and to operate. I used to cut open everything I could get my hands on. I'd catch snakes and beetles then take them apart – all kinds of things. I wanted to know what made them tick.

Hair

Mother used a wire brush to comb my long hair so tight that whatever expression I started the day with I kept all day. She put two braids on top and two below and fastened them together. For me braids were better than when she'd put rags in my hair to give me curls. That was awful. I put up with braids. I wanted to chop off my hair like the boys but my dad said he'd keep me in the basement until it grew back. I believed him so I didn't cut it.

6 year birthday party

My sixth birthday was coming. Mother told me, "You're going to have a birthday party just like the other girls with ice cream and angel food cake." Later, she always made me an angel food cake with thirteen egg whites for my birhday and would send it to me no matter where I was.
I said I didn't want a party with the girls and didn't want ribbons in my hair and my hair tied up with rags the night before. I didn't want to get dressed up. But no matter, I was going to have a party. I wasn't at all happy with that so I went and gathered lots of garter snakes and put them in a bucket in the garden. And I found an ax. Thie girls arrived, all dress up and pretty. They brought me presents. I told them to come and see something real unusual. They watched as I kicked over the bucket and chopped up the snakes. The girls all ran away screaming and went home. My mother was so upset. This was a terrible thing to do. She gave back presents. I didn't want the presents anyway. They were just silly girly things.

Dolls

I had no time for dolls. Never liked them and never played with dolls except for one doll – Sarah, a rag doll. That was the only one I liked. After my dad bought me boxing gloves, I didn't play with girls anymore. I played with the boys. They'd punch me but I never complained. I got a couple of black eyes. My father figured he needed to teach me how to box to take care of myself. He'd invite the boys over and put the boxing gloves on my hands and had me pound away at them.

Mr. Coe

Mr. Coe was my third grade teacher. I must have decided it was my mission to make his life miserable. I invented a song that I taught others: "Mr. Coe stubbed his big toe. All the kids went ho, ho, ho!"
He was always helping out a girl who sat near me. She was very pretty and had lots of curly hair. I had long straight hair that I wore in braids on either side of my head like curved ram's horns. When he bent over her desk, his pants bagged out. I didn't like baggy pants. I had spotted a huge red ant hill on the church property. One day I collected some red ants and brought them to school. That day when Mr. Coe bent over the curly haired girl's desk, I poured the ants into his pants pocket. Then I got up, wet for my coat and walked home. My mother saw me coming up the road. She came to the door and said, "Aileen, Aileen. What have you done now?"
Of course, I was suspended from school for several days for that one. My delight in my prank was sharply diminished by the fact that for all those days at home my mother put me to work. We had a hardwood floor in the kitchen and she made me scrub it with lye. That took up almost the whole time I was out of school.

Run away

Once when I was eight and had done something particularly bad, I ran away from home. I packed some food, a blanket and a pillow. My plan was to hide out in the cornfield all night. A few hours went by out there in the cornfield. I heard my parents calling me. Finally I decided to go visit a neighbor, Mr. Miller, who lived near the river. I went to his house and that's where my parents found me. (DID he tell them?)

Brother to gypsies

It was my job to care for my baby brother who was nine years younger. His problem (other than that he had me as his sister) was that he cried a lot. He also had exzema which made him a very fussy baby and I got tired of taking care of him. One day when I was pulling him in a wagon trying to distract him, I saw a group of Gypsies. They came every summer and camped a quarter of a mile from the farm. I had heard that they would take children, so I decided to give my yelling, squalling brother to the Gypsies. I was heading across the field, but before I reached them, my dad spotted me and asked where I was going with Johnny. "I'm goin to give him to the Gypsies because all he does is scream," I told him. My father was furious with me. I got my usual castor oil treatment.

Castor Oil

I don't remember ever being hit or spanked by either parent. But when I intentionally did things I shouldn't have, I'd get castor oil as a punishment – one tablespoonful if I didn't resist, two if I did. So I just opened my mouth and swallowed it. Later I thanked my folks. I told them that due to the castor oil I never had constipation problems my whole life.

I always wondered about the connection between castor oil, misbehavior and intestines. Perhaps the idea was to flush out the bad behavior. Or maybe it was a way to control me for a while. I couln't get into any more mischief at least until I had gone to the bathroom and spent a while on the throne, as we called it.

New bull

My father had purchased a new bull. The bet came out to put a copper ring in the bull's nose, but they couldn't find the copper ring. Of course they couldn't find it. I was wearing it. I saw it and slipped it on my arm that morning and went off to school. I didn't have much jewelry. I thought it was pretty. It was my first bracelet. The vet had to drive all the way back the next day. My father said, "I wonder if they have one that will fit your nose. Then at least when I tie you up to a post, I'll know what you're doing."

Potato bugs

We grew a lot of potatoes in the garden. My parents assigned me the job of picking bugs off the potato plants. We didn't use pesticides back then so the bugs had to be gotten rid of by hand. I used a long fork to hit the plants and make the bugs fall into a big pan. I had to scrabble through the potato vines and deal with the creepy bugs that sometimes ended up on my arms and legs. I thought it was disgusting and unfair that I had to do this task. As I watched the bugs plunk into the pan and crawl around, I came up with a plan. First, I short-sheeted my parents' bed and then dumped the pan of potato bugs into their bed. They were so mad. I got two tablespoons of castor oil poured into me for that.

Froggies

It wasn't that I was a bad kid. It's just that life would get too quiet. I could always figure out something to do to liven things up like putting frogs in Miss Munkabe's desk. She was the teacher in charged of morning assembly and had this fixed routine. Every morning she opened her top desk drawer, pulled out her white hankie, shook it and delicately patted her mouth. After that ritual she would speak to the assembly. One morning she opened the drawer and out jumped a dozen froggies.

Car

I never lacked things to do to create mischief, but I didn't act out of meanness. I think I was just observant and really inventive. My Dad had purchased a nice new car. I carefully watched to see how he shifted and drove the car. Everyday he came home from work for lunch, then he took a nap on the couch. The car was just sitting there so I decided to take the kids for a ride in it. I put my brother and sister in the front seat and started the car. I drove it around the farm, then pulled up in front of the house and honked.
Dad came flying out and started chasing me. I jumped out of the car and ran across the field to my grandmother's house a half-mile away. Grandma Ekstrom saw me coming. "What did you do now?" she asked as I ran in the back door. "Quick. Go hide under the bed."
Dad drove up in the car and looked around the house. He cound't find me. My grandmother didn't say anything. But I lost on that one because the circus came to town and as my punishment I wasn't allowed to go.

Horse

When I was about seven or eight, my dad bought a horse for me. It was a Pinto. We called them Indian ponies. I took care of it. I had a saddle, but I like riding bareback better. I was a farm girl. I rode my pony all over, even into town. Everyone rode their hourses around town. It was a great way to get into town. My pony's name was Choppy – he had a terrible gait, but he could jump. I'd put trees down and built up a barrier. I'd poke him in the ribs and he'd run and jump. I had him for about six years. We sold him when I was twelve or thirteen. The horse I got then wasn't a purebred. He was different shades of tan like a palomino.
I enjoyed dressing like a cowboy with the hat and the works – chaps, boots, vest, jacket. My dad would get me whatever I wanted in that line. Not many of my friends had horses nor did my sister who was four years younger. As far as I was concernd, she didn't do anything. She was "a lady." I wasn't.

Coveralls

I wore coveralls all the time. I wouldn't wear shoes to school, only boots – lace-up work boots. I never dressed up except on Sundays and that was because my mother said the Lord would be looking straight at me.
No one who knows my enjoyment of fashion and clothes today would ever believe I was such a tomboy. I remember once when I did dress up, my dad said, "Oh, that's nice. you do look like a young lady."

Milk truck

All farm kids got their licenses early. I got mine at age ten for ten cents so I could drive the milk truck into town. When I drove the truck we had to put blocks of wood on the peddles for me to reach them.

Herding cattle

In the summertime we had to move the cattle to another grazing ground. When I was herding cattle I had all sorts of time to myself. I could dream, think about my future, watch the bugs in the grass and read. We didn't have much to read. The magazine we got on the farm was The Farmer's Digest – which used to be The Country Gentleman. I read every page of that and whatever other magazine people would give me. I also borrowed books from our tiny public library. I read lots of books.

I loved herding the cows. I'd move them and they'd graze a while. The horse would lie down. There weren't any fences so I had to keep them in sight. Because the land was open, sometimes as I was moving the cattle across the land, a cow would go running off and I had to chase after her to round her up. I had to move them every day bring them back in the evening to the corrral which was half mile from the house. Old Shep, our farm dog, would help get the cows into the corral and help my dad, mother and the hired hand get the cows into their stall for milking. Our dary cows were milked by hand. Whe it was raining we didn't take them out to graze. I was a good job and I liked it.

Another big job I did on the farm was working with the hay stacker at harvest time. First the hay is cut. Then the hay stacker comes along pulled by two horses. Long metal rakes push the hay into the forks. I had to sit on the wooden backboard where the forks were to drive the team and keep them moving straight. When the team moved forward, that lifted up the forks and brought the hay over the top of the stack. Well, there were huge ropes all around and I was so close to the action that I got a scar on my hip from the rope burn. I told my Dad, "Hey, I'm branded just like the cattle."

Wafers

I was baptized and confirmed as an Episcopalian. My grandmother was a staunch Episcopalian. My mother, a Luthern, became an Episcopalian when she married my dad. When I was about twelve, I started getting serious with myself. I wondered why I was always in trouble and pulling these pranks that upset people so much. I was a member of the church choir and knew where the communion wafers were kept. I decided to eat them all. I had thought about this for a long time. If I ate a lot of them, I reasoned, maybe I'd get real holy and be cured of being so mischievous. I conviced Ruth Weber to go along with me. We had choir practice the night before and it's when Ruth and I snuck away from the choir and got the wafers from the cabinet where they were kept. We took out the box and opened it up. We started with a few and kept on going until we devoured all the wafers in the box. They were awfully dry.
"do you feel holy yet? Ruth asked
"I don't know," I answered. "How is holy supposed to feel?" I didn't realize that the wafers had to be blessed first.
We put the empty box back.
At the service the next day, the deacon discovered there were no wafers for communion. He had to go across the street and get regular bread from Mrs. Elliot and cut it into cubes so we could have communion that morning.
It didn't take them long to figure out who did it. We told them we ate them up because we thought we'd get holy and be good.

Barn dances

I played with the boys and had boy friends, but I didn't date. We didn't have proms or special dances at school. We did go to barn dances, though, and I did lots of dancing. When I was in my teens, I was friends with the deputy sheriff's daughter. He was the chaperone at the barn dances. By then I must have gotten interested in curls. One Sunday I burned my tongue testing the curling iron trying to curl my hair. We were supposed to sing that Sunday in front of everyone. I told my mom I couldn't go. My tongue was hanging out and I couln't close my mouth. My mother said, "Oh, the Lord won't mind if your tongue is out as long as you're in church. Besides, you never close your mouth anyway, so it won't matter."

Graduate early

As I mentioned, my teacher aunt Anna taught me to read and write before I started school so when I was in the first grade I did part of the material from the second grade. I could also do multiplication tables, addition and subtraction before first grade. In fourth grade I was taught by a cousin of mine. That was horrible. By the time I got to high school, they offered extra advanced subjects to take so I got through high school in three years. So I graduated at age sixteen in a class that wasn't mine. I always thought to myself, I'm going to get out of this place. The wide open world beyond my familiar open spaces was calling to me.

Chapter 4 – China

(See Attached documents for original version)

All of my life, I seemed to be drawn to "life things" – that peeked my curiosity and love of adventure, that seems to be the main force in my life.
For many years I've been a member of St. Paul League of Women Voters and my quest for answers especially in the political world that was all around us and to better understand the whys, or where it was all leading and how it effects the human race.
So when I received all info on this trip to China, I was truly excited. The 1st meeting with others also wanting to learn more, however had applied for trip had a great meeting in Mpls. League quarters.
Another pleasant part was the fellow travels were an interesting group of various people that I felf this indeed was a great adventture to share.
We assembled together in San Fransisco and left on a flight to tokyo on April 15. On April 16 in the evening we arrived in Tokyo for a night stay at Narita Nikko. We stayed there on the 12th floor overnite. However we had our introduction to an earth quake. In fact Dorothy my roomate and I almost fell out of bed. We decided this must be a signal of an extiting trip. Of course, we were ready to get on the bus – When I had left my faithful hot water bottle – A strange factor she indulged in for many years – was upstairs – Anyway the bus waited while I trotted back to retrieve my comfort hot water bottle – On the bus trip to the airplane – I decided to name the hot water bottle "Andy". This did vive a certain status to it, at least I thought so. After someone also asked "Is Andy here???" On April 17 we left Tokyo at 10 AM on JAH flight #81 arriving at Bejing at 13:15 on April 18.
I was very surprised about the physical care given by JAH. We had all shapes and sizes of soft pillows, hot wash cloths automated

5106 Geva married Widukind.[1]

Cawley does not mention BRUNO as a chld of these parents given here. According to that reference, their only child was WICHBERT (-after 25 Dec 834).[1]

According to Annales laurissense maiores, Geva was the daughter or sister of the Danish king Sigfred. She was the wife of Widukind.

Their descendants are uncertain, but probably include a son, Wicbert, and two daughters who were married to, respectively, Alfric of Saxony and Bruno of Engern.


Research Notes
She can be found sometimes as the daughter of Eystein Halfdansson of Vestfold.

Annales laurissense maiores names her the daughter or sister of king Sigfried Eysteinsson of Denmark (who is sometimes found as the son of Eystein.

She can also be found as a relative (daughter or sister) of Sigurd Ring Randversson

Research Notes
Prior notes in French (sources not provided):

Il partagea les titres de ses parents avec son frère Richard : il reçut Millau et Lodève, tandis que son frère eut Rodez et Carlat. Possédant différentes terres dans le Gévaudan, il en profita pour relever le titre de comte de Gévaudan, tombé en désuétude depuis moins d'un siècle.
En 1073, il épouse Gerberge (1060 1115), comtesse de Provence, fille de Bertrand, comte de Provence, et de Mathilde. Ils eurent au moins trois filles :
Douce (1090 1130), mariée en 1112 à Raimond Bérenger III (1082 1131), comte de Barcelone. Étiennette ( ap.1160), mariée à Raymond ( 1150), seigneur des Baux. Leur fils émettra des prétentions sur le comté de Provence, débutant ainsi les Guerres Baussenques. Sibylle mariée à Guy III de Sévérac.
En 1096, à l'occasion de la refondation de l'église de Toulon, Gilbert prévoit la création d'un monastère dans les îles Stoechades, ces trois îles qui se trouvent au sud d'Hyères. Après son assassinat survenu en 1111, ce furent sa fille Douce et son gendre Raymond-Bérenger II qui lui succédèrent."[citation needed]

Death
"Duke Gislebert of the Lotharingians set out raiding across the Rhine and was returning with the Saxons in pursuit. He jumped in the Rhine with his horse and was killed by the force of the water. His body was never found but is is said that fishermen discovered the corpse of a man, which was buried and concealed because of his equipment." (Flodoard)

REGINAR Giselbert (I58401)
 
5118 Giselbert was a 9th-century count in the region which is now Belgium.

He married a daughter of Emperor Lothar I. [1]

Giselbert is mentioned in an agreement dated 14 June 877, and so he died after this date. [2]

Research Notes
There are various records of a Count Giselbert living in Lower Lotharingia in the time of Charles the Bald and his half-brother, Emperor Lothar, in the 9th century. His wife was a daughter of Lothar, whom he abducted, but her name is not known.

According to Stewart Baldwin: "most scholars would identify at least the count of Masau, the son-in-law of Lothair, and the count of Darnau as the same individual".

Ancestry and regional associations
His ancestry is unknown and second names were not normally standard in this period. There are common suggestions that he might have Norse ancestry because his apparent son's name, used many times in the family, looks like Ragnar. However Ragnachar was also an old Frankish name.[3]

There are two references in old records which connect him to areas where he held the power of a count. (In this period it generally is safer to call him Count "in" these places, not Count "of", implying a formal connection between the title and the place.)

1. Most commonly he is referred to as a Count associated with the Maasgau, Maasland, or Maasau (which are sometimes seen as having slightly different meanings, but all refer the Maas Valley north of, and sometimes including, Maastricht.[4]). However the actual document refers to him as a count of (or in) Mansuaria, or of the Mansuari ("Gislebertus comes Mansuariorum").[5] This name is often associated with the Maas valley but there has not been perfect consensus that Mansuaria or the land of the Mansuari, whoever they were, were necessarily close to the Maas. (It makes more sense as a variant of the other words when we consider that Maasau is probably the older term. See Nonn, Pagus und Comitatus.) Gorissen proposed it was an old name for some type of territory at the end of the old "via Mansuarisca" in the Ardennes, which ends near Maastricht.[6] A very early 714 charter shows there was a "pago Mosariorum" which included Susteren, which is in the Maasgau, but a 741/2 charter "in pago Hasbaniensę et Masuarinsę" concerning the area between Diest and Hasselt, very far from the Maas, and apparently indicating that this term could be applied quite far from the river Maas/Meuse (unlike apparently in the 870 treaty of Meerssen), and might be much bigger, at least at some point in time, overlapping with the later Haspengau, and Maasgau.[7]

2. Count Giselbert of Darnau, a gau which later became part of the county of Namur, appears in a document of count Ansfrid on 5 October 863 ["... in pago Darnau, in marca vel villa Sodoia, quae sita est super fluvium Geldiun, in comitatu Giselberti; ..." Chronicon Laureshamense, MGH SS 21: 370].

Stewart Baldwin also notes later records for a Count Gilbert which may or may not refer to the same person:

He may have been the Giselbert who was mentioned in the Capitulary of Quierzy (11 June 877) ["Si versus Mosam perrexerit, sint cum eo Franco episcopus, Iohannes episcopus, Arnulfus comes, Gislebertus, Letardus, Matfridus, Widricus, Gotbertus, Adalbertus, Ingelgerus, Rainerus, una cum praedictis." MGH Leg 1: 539], and he was possibly also the count Giselbert at whose request the emperor Charles "the Fat" granted to a certain Théodon (a vassal of Giselbert) property at Oneux in Condroz and the usage of the forest of Hulsina on 6 September 885 [see Parisot (1898), 480, n. 1; Vanderkindere (1902), 1: 265, n. 5].
Probable descendants
His most important role in genealogy is as the probable father to Reginar "Longneck", the founder of a major dynasty and ancestor of many modern people. But it should be noted that this relationship is uncertain. (It is likely there was some type of relationship.)

Stewart Baldwin summarizes the case as follows:

"This suggested father-son relationship between Giselbert and Regnier (along with the grandfather-grandson relationship between Lothair and Regnier) has appeared on numerous occasions, sometimes stated with some sort of qualification, sometimes given as established fact [e.g., Parisot (1898), 540; Vanderkindere (1902), 2: 197, 265; Knetsch (1917), 11-12; Sproemberg (1941), 8; Bernard (1957), 1, 20; Brandenburg (1964), 85-6; Werner (1967), 449-450; Hlawitschka (1968), 176, n. 161]. There is no direct evidence to support this affiliation. There are three main reasons for suggesting this connection:
Regnier named his (apparently) eldest son Giselbert.
According to the historian Widukind, Regnier's son Giselbert was of noble origin, born of an old family ["Erat autem Isilberhtus nobili genere ac familia antiqua natus." Widukind, Res gestae Saxonicae, i, 30, MGH SS 3: 430]. Regnier is called a vir consularis et nobilis by Richer ["... Ragenerus, vir consularis et nobilis cognomento Collo-longus, ..." Richer i, 34, MGH SS 3: 579], and his son Giselbert is called clarissimo genere inclitus [ibid., i, 35], and similar statements are made by the eleventh century Norman historian Dudo ["Raginere dux, milesque asperrime, regumque et ducum atque comitum superbo satus sanguine, ..." Dudo, ii, 10 (p. 151)].
Giselbert had possessions in the same area that was later dominated by Regnier and his descendants.
Although this scenario is plausible enough, it is difficult to accept with the high degree of confidence which seems to be generally implied. In addition to the lack of direct evidence, the following considerations might cause one to hesitate.
There is an individual roughly one generation before Regnier who seems to be related, i.e., the same-named lay-abbot of Echternach from 864 to 870 (see below). Based on the available evidence, a scenario in which the two Regniers were father and son is difficult to rule out.
Duke Giselbert was married in 929, 83 years after his supposed grandfather carried off the daughter of Lothair I in 846. This seems to leave enough room for another generation, so that even if duke Giselbert was a descendant of the older Giselbert and Lothair's daughter, he might not have been their paternal grandson.
Nothing is known about the ancestry of Regnier's wife Alberada, the mother of duke Giselbert. In the absence of such knowledge, it is difficult to rule out the possibility that Giselbert was named after someone in his mother's family."

Nobility of Lotharingia
Territories
The medieval land of Lotharingia included the territory from the North Sea to Burgundy - which now comprises the Benelux countries (Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg) - as well as the eastern portion of France that was part of the Duchy of Lorraine, and the Rhineland of western Germany.


Europe after the Treaty of Prüm 855
Lotharingia arose as the northern half of Middle Francia, originally granted to Charlemagne's grandson Lothar (Lothair I) upon division of the Carolingian Empire by the Treaty of Verdun in 843. Before Lothar's death, he divided Middle Francia among his three sons by the Treaty of Prüm in 855: granting Italy and the imperial title to eldest son Louis; Provence and Burgundy to youngest son Charles; and the northern territories, which became known as Lotharingia, to middle son Lothair II.

Lotharingia (lat: Regnum Lotharii or Lotharingia, fr: Lotharingie, de: Lothringen, nl: Lotharingen) formed part of the Holy Roman Empire but was the subject of frequent political and territorial conflict between West Francia, the kingdom of the Western Franks who would eventually establish France - and East Francia, the kingdom of he Eastern Franks who remained in the Holy Roman Empire and would eventually establish the Kingdom of Germany.

Lower and Upper Lotharingia

Lotharingia / Lotharingen / Lotharingie
10th century
Lotharingia was partitioned in 959 into Lower Lotharingia (the lower Northern region that today comprises the Benelux countries) and Upper Lotharingia (the higher more Southern region that developed into the Duchy of Lorraine). While these became two separate duchies in 959, they remained closely related and in a number of cases were headed by members of the same Lotharingian noble family, and in some cases individuals who became the Duke of Lower Lotharingia also later succeeded as the Duke of Upper Lotharingia, or vice versa.

Lotharingia was effectively a united duchy under Godfried's' father Gozelon I Duke of Lotharingia - who had become the Duke of Lower Lotharingia in 1023, and the Duke of Upper Lotharingia in 1033. [1] [2] [7]

Languages and Names
Latin was the principal written language in Lotharingia and in adjacent lands. The Franks who were migrating to the west, including in particular the nobility. increasingly adopted spoken ("vulgar" or popular) versions of Latin that would become Lorrain roman, Walloon and Old French (all of which introduced Germanic words into the Latin) - while the Eastern Franks generally continued to speak more purely Germanic tongues (although these also introduced words of Latin origin) - which in Lotharingia would develop into Dutch, Flemish and Luxembourgish.

The resulting countries such as Belgium continue to reflect both French and Germanic influences - concentrated in Wallonia and Flanders, respectively - and Belgian place names generally have counterparts in both languages, e.g. Bruxelles et Louvain (fr), Brussel en Leuven (fl/nl). [8] Among French speakers, the Old French terms Loherigne and Loherainc were increasingly used for the territories and people - which later developed into the word and regional name of Lorraine in French.

Father's Roles in Lotharingia

Gozelon I (Gothelon)
(Duke of Lotharingia)
Godfried's father Gozelon I Duke of Lotharingia held several key positions within the Holy Roman Empire.

- Margrave / Marquis of Antwerp
The Holy Roman Emperor Heinrich II installed Gozelon as Count in the March (Margravate) of Antwerp in 1008: [9]

"Henricus…rex" granted property "inter flumina…Nitæ…Thila…Wauerwald in comitatu Gotizonis comitis qui Antwerk dicitur situm" to "nostrum bestiarum Baldrico sanctæ Leodicensis ecclesiæ presul nec non Baldrico comiti" by charter dated 12 Sep 1008.
- Duke of Lower Lotharingia ("Duke of the Ripuarians")
In 1023, Gozelon succeeded his elder brother Godefried who had been the Duke of Lower Lotharingia but died without an heir: [1]

"Ducis Godefridi eiusque fratris…marchionis Gozelonis" are named as present with Adalbold bishop of Utrecht at Driel, in an undated charter dated to before 1023, relating to the donation of Wamel. The Annales Blandinienses record the death in 1023 of "Godefridus dux". The necrology of Liège Saint-Lambert records the death "VI Kal Oct" of "Godefridi pacifici ducis."
In 1024 Gozelon attended the election of the King of Germany, who would a few laters become Konrad (Conrad) II, Holy Roman Emperor. Gozelon was referred to as "Duke of the Ripuarians" - referring to the Ripuarian Franks who had settled the area from the Rhineland westward into what became the Austrasian territory of Lotharingia: [1] [10]

Wipo, in his description of the election of Konrad II King of Germany in 1024, names him "Gozilo Duke of the Ripuarians."
- Duke of Upper Lotharingia
In 1033, Gozelon was appointed by Konrad II to succeed Frederic III, the Duke of Upper Lotharingia. [1] [2]

"Adelaydis comitissa uxor quondam…Ludouici comitis" donated property "per manum Gozelonis ducis atque Godefridi…et pro eius amore Dominique Frederici prefati ducis fratris" to Verdun Saint-Vanne by charter dated to [1038/40], subscribed by "dux Gozelo et eius filius Godefridus".
- In personam Union of Lower and Upper Lotharingia
As a result of his father's succession to both Lower and Upper Lotharingia, they effectively became a united duchy in personam under Gozelon - who controlled a territory stretching from the North Sea to Burgundy. They were to become separated again following his death (see below). [1] [2]

Parents' Marriage and Family
Gozelon may have married a daughter of Berengar II, Re d'Italia (King of Italy) by the name of Urraca or Junca of Ivrea, although it is considered uncertain. [1]

Gozelon and his wife (whose name remains unknown) had six children - five of whom joined the Lotharingian nobility - and the remaining son eventually became the Pope: [1]

Godefried (Godefroid), who succeeded his father as Duke of Upper Lotharingia, became the Marquis of Tuscany through marriage, and later in life succeeded Frederic of Luxembourg (who replaced his younger brother) to become Duke of Lower Lotharingia
Mathilde, who married Heinrich Pfalzgraf of Lotharingia
Gozelon (Gothelon), who was installed as Gozelon II Duke of Lower Lotharingia (to succeed his father)
Frederic, who was elected as Pope Stephen IX
Uda (Oda), who married Lambert II Comte de Louvain
Regelindis, who married Albert II Comte de Namur
Godfried's First Marriage and Family
Godfried's first marriage was to a woman named Doda, whose family name remains unknown. Godfried and Doda had several children together: [1]

Godfried, who would succeed his father as Godfried III Duke of Lower Lotharingia
Ida, who married Eustache I Comte de Boulogne
Wiltrudis, who married Adalbert Graf von Calw
A son whose name is unknown who was held as a hostage by Emperor Heinrich III on Godfried's release in Spring 1046, and who died in captivity (1046/47)
(Potentially a daughter Judith)
Succession Conflicts in Lotharingia
Although Lower and Upper Lotharingia remained technically partitioned, they were effectively united in personam under Godefried's father Gozelon, who had become the Duke of both the northern and southern territories (stretching from the North Sea to Burgundy). They were separated again following his death. [1] [2] [3] [4]

- The New Holy Roman Emperor
In 1039, Emperor Konrad II died and was succeeded by his son Heinrich (Henry) III, Holy Roman Emperor. Emperor Heinrich was keenly interested in enhancing the powers of the emperor over the various nobles practically controlling key parts of the empire.

- Death of Father (Gozelon I) and Division of Lotharingia among his sons
In 1044, the death of Godfried's father Gozelon I Duke of Lotharingia - who controlled both Lower and Upper Lotharingia as a united duchy - provided the emperor with an early opportunity to both enhance his powers and divide those of an important central duchy. Emperor Heinrich treated the ducal fief as a royal prerogative, and essentially prevented Gozelon's eldest son Godefried (Godefroid) II de Basse-Lotharingie - who had already effectively succeeded his father - from continuing to rule Lotharingia as a united duchy.

Emperor Heinrich / Henri III authorized Godfried to succeed only as the Duke of Upper Lotharingia - even though Godefried was already co-ruler with his father in Lower Lotharingia. The Emperor thus refused Godefried's installation as Duke of Lower Lotharingia and instead had Godefried's younger brother (Gozelon / Gothelon II), who was regarded as potentially incompetent, become the duke of the important northern territories. Godefried not only rebelled against the emperor's plan but proceeded to devastate lands in Lower Lotharingia as well as the City of Verdun. Godefried was joined in protest by Baudouin V de Flandre (Baldwin V Count of Flanders). [1] [2]

- Seizure of Upper Lotharingia and Transfer of Lower Lotharingia
Emperor Heinrich responded to Godefried 's revolt by seizing control of Upper Lotharingia in Sep 1044 and also depriving him of Verdun, which the Emperor gave to the Bishop of Verdun. Godefried was finally captured in July 1045 and imprisoned in Schloß Giebichstein, near Halle. Godefried was released in 1046 and resumed his position as Duke of Upper Lotharingia - but later that year Emperor Heinrich deposed his younger brother Gothelon II in Lower Lotharingia, appointing Frédéric de Luxembourg, duc de Basse-Lotharingie to replace him. Godefried rebelled again, joined by Baudoin V of Flanders and this time also by Dirk IV Count of Holland, who led an attack against Cambrai, Utrecht and Liège. [1] [2]

Emperor Heinrich again confiscated the Duchy of Upper Lotharingia, and this time awarded it to Adalbert comte de Metz / Adalbert Graf von Metz. In response, Duke Godefried attacked Upper Lotharingia - and Adalbert was killed in battle. Upper Lotharingia then passed to Adalbert's younger brother Gerard. [11]

- Godfried's Establishment in Italy
Godfried was ex-communicated by the Pope and surrendered in 1049 - following which he moved to Italy and acquired another position of power (as described below). [1]

Second Marriage in Tuscany
In 1054, Godefried married Beatrix (Beatrice) of Upper Lotharingia, who was the widow of Bonifazio di Canossa, Marchese di Toscana (Marchese of Tuscany). Beatrix was the daughter of Frederick II Duke of Upper Lotharingia and Mathilde von Schwaben (Mathilde of Swabia) [12] [13]

Return to Lotharingia and Re-establishment as Duke
In 1056, Emperor Heinrich III died and was succeeded by his young son as Heinrich (Henry) IV Holy Roman Emperor. After the death of Frédéric de Luxembourg, duc de Basse-Lotharingie in 1065, the new emperor recalled Godefried from Italy and installed him as the Duke of Lower Lotharingia. [1] [2]

Marriage of Godfried's son to his step-daughter
In 1055, Godfried's eldest son from his first marriage, Godfried de Lotharingia, was betrothed to his step-daughter Matilda di Toscana from his second marriage to Beatrix (Beatrice) of Upper Lotharingia, the widow of the Marchese di Toscana. The couple later married in 1069, at Verdun in Lower Lotharingia. [12] [1]

Death and Successions in Lotharingia and Toscana
Son's accession as Godfried III Duke of Lower Lotharingia
Shortly after seeing the marriage of his son and his step-daughter, on 24 Dec 1069, Godfried II of Lotharingia died. His son Godfried succeeded him as Comte de Verdun and was later installed as his successor by the Holy Roman Emperor, becoming Godfried III Duke of Lower Lotharingia. [12] [1]

Daughter-in-law's accession as Contessa di Toscana
After the death of Godfried II, his widow Beatrix (Matilda's mother) returned to Toscana where she associated Matilda with her Italian estates. In 1076, Beatrix died and Matilda became the Contessa di Toscana. [12]

Note regardng supposed "nicknames":
There appears to be no contemporaneous evidence that Godefried was ever actually called le Captif nor its German equivalent Gefangene (although he was in fact captured and imprisoned several times in connection with ongoing conflicts between the Kingdoms of the Western and Eastern Franks as described below). The usage appears to be traced to later chroniclers, presumably as colourful or shorthand methods of remembering the counts; in particular by C.G. Roland in his 1891 "Histoire généalogique de la maison de Rumigny-Florennes," who described a potential but unproven daughter as "Ermentrude, fille de Godefroi le Captif et Mathilde de Saxe," as cited in Medlands in connection with Ermentrude. [2]
Lower and Upper Lotharingia

Lotharingia / Lothringen / Lotharingie
10th century
Lotharingia (lat:Lotharii, nl: Lotharingen, fr: Lotharingie (later Lorraine), de: Lothringen) comprised the territory of "Middle Francia" originally granted to Lothar on division of the Carolingian Empire in 855. It included the territories that make up the modern-day Benelux countries (Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg) - as well as the eastern portion of France and the Rhineland of Germany. The region was generally part of the Holy Roman Empire but was the subject of frequent political and territorial conflict between the Western Franks (who established the Kingdom of France) and the Eastern Franks (who were associated with the emerging Kingdom of Germany) - particularly from 962 when Otto of Saxony was crowned as the Holy Roman Emperor.
Lotharingia was partitioned in 959 into "Lower Lotharingia" (the lower Northern region) and "Upper Lotharingia" (the higher more Southern region). Upper Lotharingia became a Duchy and was increasingly influenced by the Western Franks - and in Old French the term Loherigne and Loherainc were increasingly used for the territories and people - which later developed into the word Lorraine in French.
Lotharingian Nobility
Godefried's father Gozelon and his siblings formed members of the nobility of Lotharingia, including the Duke of Upper Lotharingia and Counts of Bidgau and of Ardenne, and his brother became the Bishop of Metz: [1]

Frederic, who became Frederic I Duke of Upper Lotharingia in 959
Adalbero, who was the Bishop of Metz
Giselbert, who beamce the Comte d'Ardenne
Siegbert
Gozelon, who was the Graf von Bidgau
Lutgarde, who married two Lotharingian counts
Godefried and siblings likewise became members of the Lotharingian nobility and the church: [1]

Reginar, who became the Comte de Bastogne

Graf von Bidgau, Comte de Verdun
Godefried I (en: Godfrey I) had an important military and administrative role in Lotharingia. He was generally aligned with the Eastern Franks - the Ottonian dynasty of Saxony - to whom he was related through his maternal grandmother, Oda von Sachsen. [2] [4] [5] [6]

In his early years he was involved with the fight against Reginar (Reinier) IV de Hainaut (van Henegouwen) and Lambert I Reginar de Louvain (van Leuven), who tried to regain the Lotharingian inheritances of their father with French support. Godfried continued to be involved in the frequent territorial conflicts between the East Frankish Empire and West Francia, Godefoid was also captured and imprisoned several times in connection with the ongoing conflicts, for which later chroniclers called him Godefroid le Captif (referenced in a genealogy of 1891 by C.G. Roland in connection with Godefroid's possible but unproven daughter Ermentrude, as cited in Medlands - Comtes de Verdun). [2] [4] [5] [6]

Godefried I became the Graf von Bidgau und Methingau by 959, the Count of Verdun from 963, the Margraviate of Antwerp and Ename from 969 and the Count of Hainaut, Mons and Valenciennes from 974-998. [2] [6]

Godefroid I: Sommaire (Français)
Godefroid Ier de Verdun, dit le Captif et aussi le Vieux, fut comte de Bidgau et de Methingau en 959, puis comte de Verdun de 963 à 1002. Il est également comte de Hainaut de 974 à 998. Il est le fils de Gozlin (Gozelon, Gothelon), comte de Bidgau et de Methingau, le petit-fils d'Uda (Oda) de Saxe par sa mère Oda de Metz, et le frère d'Adalbéron, l'archevêque de Reims qui favorisa l'élection de Hugues Capet au trône de France. Il est toujours un fidèle des Ottoniens, avec lesquels il est apparenté par sa grand-mère maternelle, Oda, fille d'Otton Ier de Saxe. En 960 ou avant, il apparaît comme comte de Verdun. Il possède déjà de son père les comtés de Bidgau et de Methingau. En 969, il obtient les marquisats d'Anvers et d'Ename, puis s'empare en 973 du comté de Hainaut avec Arnould de Valenciennes, aux dépens de Régnier IV. [7]
Godefried I: Summier (Nederlands)
Godfried I van Verdun, bijgenaamd de Gevangene, (ca. 930- 3/4 september 1002), was graaf van Verdun en had een belangrijke militaire en bestuurlijke rol in Neder-Lotharingen. Hij kreeg zijn bijnaam omdat hij tweemaal gedurende een langere tijd gevangene was door conflicten tussen Oost-Frankische Rijk en West-Francië. Godfried werd in 963 graaf van Verdun en in 969 ook markgraaf van Ename en markgraaf van Antwerpen. In zijn eerste jaren hield hij zich vooral bezig met strijd tegen Reinier IV van Henegouwen en Lambert I van Leuven, die met Franse steun probeerden het erfdeel van hun vader te herwinnen. In 974 werd hij ook benoemd tot graaf van Henegouwen, Bergen, en Valencijn. Hij werd voogd van Saint-Hubert en Mousson. [8]

5126 Godefroi / Godefroid de Namur (later Comte de Namur) was the son of Albert III Comte de Namur and his wife Ida von Sachsen. [1] [2]

First Marriage, Family and Divorce
In about 1087, Godefroi married Sibylle de Porcien, who was the daughter of Roger, Comte de Porcien and his wife Ermengarde. [1] [2] [3]

Godefroi and his first wife Sibylle had two daughters: [1] [2]

Elisabeth de Namur
Flandrine de Namur
Sibylle was reportedly seduced by Enguerrand de Boves Comte d'Amiens, Seigneur de Coucy, and fled her husband before giving birth to an illegitimate child. Guibert de Nogent records that Ingelrannus abducted filia…Rogeri comitis Porcensis, wife of Namurensi…comiti Godefrido. Godefroi and Sibylle were divorced in about 1104. [1] [2]

Accession, Second Marriage and Family
In 1102, Godefroi succeeded his father Albert, becoming Godefroi Comte de Namur. [1] [2]

In about 1109, several years after Godefroi's divorce of his first wife, he remarried, to Ermesinde de Luxembourg, the daughter of Conrad Comte de Luxembourg and brother of the then-current count Guillaume Comte de Luxembourg. [1] [2] [4]

Ermesinde de Luxembourg and Godefroi de Namur, each in their second marriage, had five children together: [1] [2]

Albert de Namur - who died before 1131
Henri de Namur - who succeeded his cousin and mother to become Henri IV Comte de Luxembourg and later succeeded his father as Comte de Namur
Clementia (Clemence) de Namur - who married Konrad Herzog von Zähringen (fr: Conrad, duc de Zähringen)

Adelaide (Adelis / Aledis / Alix) de Namur - who married Baudoin IV Comte de Hainaut
Successions
In 1136, his wife Ermesinde's nephew Conrad II Comte de Luxembourg died without heirs and his wife inherited the county of Luxembourg, but effectively abdicated in favor of their son Henri, who then succeeded his cousin as Henri IV Comte de Luxembourg. [1] [2] [4] [5]

Godefroi de Namur died on 19 Aug 1139 and was succeeded by his son Henri IV Comte de Luxembourg who then also became Henri II Comte de Namur. [1] [2]

NAMUR Godefroi (I59617)
 
5127 Godfrey (Geoffrey) was the eldest of the illegitimate children of Duke Richard I (the Fearless), the Conqueror's great-grandfather. While the Duke granted Godfrey Brionne, he did not make him a count. Godfrey's comital title derives from the grant of the county of Eu made to him after 996 by his half-brother, Duke Richard II. After Godfrey's death, Eu was given to William, another of Duke Richard I's bastard sons, and Gilbert, Godfrey's son, was left with only the lordship of Brionne. However, under Duke Robert I, father of William the Conqueror, Gilbert assumed the title of count of Brionne while not relinquishing his claim to Eu. When Count William of Eu died shortly before 1040, Gilbert assumed the land and title, but he was assassinated in 1040 and his young sons, Richard and Baldwin, were forced to flee Normandy, finding safety at the court of Baldwin V, count of Flanders. When William the Conqueror married Count Baldwin's daughter, he restored Gilbert's sons to Normandy, although he did not invest them with either Brionne or Eu or a comital title. William granted the lordships of Bienfaite and Orbec to Richard fitz Gilbert, and Le Sap and Meules to Baldwin. While Gilbert's descendants later pressed a claim for Brionne, it was never restored.

He succeeded his brother in 1095 as Count of Leuven. He was in conflict with Richer Bishop of Liège over the county of Brugeron in 1095/96. He hoped to succeed his relative Godfried of Bouillon as duke of Lower Lotharingia, however Henry IV awarded this title to Henrik of Limburg. After Henry V deposed his father he appointed Godfried duke in 1106, although the counts of Limburg didn't relinquish their claim. After Lothar I succeeded Henry V Godfried lost his title again, althought he in turn kept using it, perhaps in support of Anti-king Conrad of Hohenstaufen. After Conrad was elected king, Godfried regained his title. He died on january 25, 1139 [1]

5131 Gonzalo Betótiz (in Portuguese Gonçalo Betotes) was a noble in the Kingdom of Leon in the early medieval period.[1].He is referred to as Count of Deza[1] but although he is named as Count (conde in Spanish, comes in Latin) in primary sources[2], it may not be with a territorial designation.

He was the son of Alfonso 'Betote' and an unnamed wife[2] and was perhaps born about 875, though this is a very rough estimate. He maybe the Gundesaluus comes who subscribed a charter of Alfonso III, King of Asturias dated 6 May 899,[2] but seems to definitely be a witness to charters dated about 922, 17 September 924, and 25 August 927 where he is referred to as Gundisaluus Betonice, Gundisaluus Bettotiz and Gundisaluus Betoniz respectively.[3],[2]

He married Teresa Eriz the daughter of Ero Fernández. and they had five children;[3]

Pelayo González;
Hermenegildo González;
Aragonta González;
Iberia González;
Gontrodo González
The date he died is unknown. Both he and his wife, (written as Gundesaluus and Tarasia) attest a charter dated to 20 November 929, where their daughter Aragonta made a donation to the monastery of Carboeiro for the soul of her late husband, Ordoño II, King of Leon.[3] There is also mention of a charter dated 936 where they both are mentioned as the founders of the San Lorenzo de Cargueiro monastery, but this is only mentioned in a secondary source and the primary document has not been found.[3],[2] This means that he definitely died after 20 November 929 and perhaps after 936.


Research Notes
In some online sources his mother is named as an unnamed daughter (NN de Mendes) of Hermenegildo Peres of Asturias, but this isn't confirmed with any primary source.

BETÓTIZ Gonzalo (I59890)
 
5132 Gonzalo Menéndez (or Gonçalo Mendes) (fl. 950–997) was a Count of Portugal in the Kingdom of León.

Sometime before 964, Gonzalo married Ilduara (Ildonza) Peláez, his first cousin, the daughter of his father's brother, Pelayo González, Count of Deza, by the latter's wife, Hermesenda Gutiérrez, sister of Saint Rudesind. She is first mentioned, though not as his wife, in 961. She was dead by 983, for in that year he appears married to a Hermesinda (Ermesenda). She was still living in 1008. All of Gonzalo's six children came by his first wife. His eldest sons, Ramiro (living 986) and Rosendo (living 1014), played little part in politics compared to his third son, the aforementioned Menendo. Besides these he had a younger son, Diego, and two daughters: Toda, who married the alférez Rodrigo Ordóñez, and Mumadona (Muniadomna), who was dead by 1013.

5133 Gonzalo Menéndez (or Gonçalo Mendes) (fl. 950–997) was a Count of Portugal in the Kingdom of León. He regularly carries the title count (comes), the highest in the kingdom, in surviving documents. He may have used the title magnus dux portucalensium ("great duke of the Portuguese"). His name in contemporary records is usually spelled Gundisaluus Menendiz.

Gonzalo was a son of count Hermenegildo González and Mumadona Dias, and named for his grandfather, count Gonzalo Betótez. His father was dead by 950, when his widow distributed some of his lands. In the pertinent document Gonzalo is mentioned for the first time (24 July 950).



Sometime before 964, Gonzalo married Ilduara (Ildonza) Peláez, his first cousin, the daughter of his father's brother, Pelayo González, Count of Deza, by the latter's wife, Hermesenda Gutiérrez, sister of Saint Rudesind.

About
Gotfrid, Gotefrid, or Gottfried (Latin: Gotfridus or Cotefredus; died 709) was the Duke of Alamannia (or Alemannia) in the late seventh century and until his death. He was of the house of the Agilolfing, which was the dominant ruling family in Bavaria.

In a document dated to the year 700 in Cannstatt, Gotfrid at the request of a priest named Magulfus donated the castle of Biberburg to the monastery of Saint Gall (Switzerland).

Gotfrid fought a war over his de facto independence with the mayor of the palace Pepin of Heristal. The war was unfinished when Gotfrid died in 709. His sons, Lantfrid and Theudebald, had the support of Pepin and succeeded him.

His children, Odilo, later ruled in Bavaria. From his son Huoching (Huocin, Houchi, or Hug) came the later stock of the Ahalolfings. His daughter Regarde married Hildeprand of Spoleto, and he left a youngest son named Lieutfrid.

Nobility of Lotharingia
Territories
The medieval land of Lotharingia included the territory from the North Sea to Burgundy - which now comprises the Benelux countries (Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg) - as well as the eastern portion of France that was part of the Duchy of Lorraine, and the Rhineland of western Germany.


Europe after the Treaty of Prüm 855
Lotharingia arose as the northern half of Middle Francia, originally granted to Charlemagne's grandson Lothar (Lothair I) upon division of the Carolingian Empire by the Treaty of Verdun in 843. Before Lothar's death, he divided Middle Francia among his three sons by the Treaty of Prüm in 855: granting Italy and the imperial title to eldest son Louis; Provence and Burgundy to youngest son Charles; and the northern territories, which became known as Lotharingia, to middle son Lothair II.

Lotharingia (lat: Regnum Lotharii or Lotharingia, fr: Lotharingie, de: Lothringen, nl: Lotharingen) formed part of the Holy Roman Empire but was the subject of frequent political and territorial conflict between West Francia, the kingdom of the Western Franks who would eventually establish France - and East Francia, the kingdom of he Eastern Franks who remained in the Holy Roman Empire and would eventually establish the Kingdom of Germany.

Lower and Upper Lotharingia

Lotharingia / Lotharingen / Lotharingie
10th century
Lotharingia was partitioned in 959 into Lower Lotharingia (the lower Northern region that today comprises the Benelux countries) and Upper Lotharingia (the higher more Southern region that developed into the Duchy of Lorraine). While these became two separate duchies in 959, they remained closely related and in a number of cases were headed by members of the same Lotharingian noble family, and in some cases individuals who became the Duke of Lower Lotharingia also later succeeded as the Duke of Upper Lotharingia, or vice versa.

Lotharingia was effectively a united duchy under Regelindis' father Gozelon I Duke of Lotharingia - who had become the Duke of Lower Lotharingia in 1023, and the Duke of Upper Lotharingia in 1033. [3] [6] [7]

Languages and Names
Latin was the principal written language in Lotharingia and in adjacent lands. The Franks who were migrating to the west, including in particular the nobility. increasingly adopted spoken ("vulgar" or popular) versions of Latin that would become Lorrain roman, Walloon and Old French (all of which introduced Germanic words into the Latin) - while the Eastern Franks generally continued to speak more purely Germanic tongues (although these also introduced words of Latin origin) - which in Lotharingia would develop into Dutch, Flemish and Luxembourgish.

The resulting countries such as Belgium continue to reflect both French and Germanic influences - concentrated in Wallonia and Flanders, respectively - and Belgian place names generally have counterparts in both languages, e.g. Bruxelles et Louvain (fr), Brussel en Leuven (fl/nl). [8] Among French speakers, the Old French terms Loherigne and Loherainc were increasingly used for the territories and people - which later developed into the word and regional name of Lorraine in French.

Father and Family Circumstances

Godefried / Godefroid
Graf von Bidgau, Comte de Verdun
Godefried's father Godefried I Graf von Bidgau und Methingau, Comte de Verdun had an important military and administrative role in Lotharingia. He was generally aligned with the Eastern Franks - the Ottonian dynasty of Saxony - to whom he was related through his maternal grandmother, Oda von Sachsen. [1] [9] [10] [11]
His father was involved with the fight against Reginar (Reinier) IV de Hainaut (van Henegouwen) and Lambert I Reginar de Louvain (van Leuven), who tried to regain the Lotharingian inheritances of their father with French support. Godfried continued to be involved in the frequent territorial conflicts between the East Frankish Empire and West Francia, Godefoid was also captured and imprisoned several times in connection with the ongoing conflicts, for which later chroniclers called him Godefroid le Captif (referenced in a genealogy of 1891 by C.G. Roland in connection with Godefroid's possible but unproven daughter Ermentrude, as cited in Medlands - Comtes de Verdun). [1] [9] [10] [11]

Godefried I became the Graf von Bidgau und Methingau by 959, the Count of Verdun from 963, the Margraviate of Antwerp and Ename from 969 and the Count of Hainaut, Mons and Valenciennes from 974-998. [1] [11]

His parents Godefried and Mathilde had at least eight children together - who played roles in Lotharingia and beyond: [1]

Adalbero, who was appointed Bishop of Verdun
Frederic, who succeeded his father as Comte de Verdun and later became Comte de Castres
Herman, who became the Comte d'Eename and Graf in Eifelgau und in Westfalen
Godefried / Godefroid, who became Godefried I Duke of Lower Lotharingia
Gozelo(n) / Gothelon, who became Count in the March (Margravate) of Antwerp, succeeded his brother as Gozelon I Duke of Lower Lotharingia, and later also became Duke of Upper Lotharingia
Adela, who married the Graf von Aspelt und Heimbach
Irmgard, who married the Graf in der Wetterau und im Engersgau
Ermentrude, who married the Seigneur de Florennes
And potentially several others:[1]

Reginlind, who married the Graf von Wels und Lambach
Gerberge, who married the Graf von Metz und Graf im Bliesgau
another son
Roles in Lotharingia

Gozelon I (Gothelon)
(Duke of Lotharingia)
- Margrave / Marquis of Antwerp
The Holy Roman Emperor Heinrich II installed Gozelon as Count in the March (Margravate) of Antwerp in 1008: [2]

"Henricus…rex" granted property "inter flumina…Nitæ…Thila…Wauerwald in comitatu Gotizonis comitis qui Antwerk dicitur situm" to "nostrum bestiarum Baldrico sanctæ Leodicensis ecclesiæ presul nec non Baldrico comiti" by charter dated 12 Sep 1008.
- Duke of Lower Lotharingia ("Duke of the Ripuarians")
In 1023, Gozelon succeeded his elder brother Godefried who had been the Duke of Lower Lotharingia but died without an heir: [3]

"Ducis Godefridi eiusque fratris…marchionis Gozelonis" are named as present with Adalbold bishop of Utrecht at Driel, in an undated charter dated to before 1023, relating to the donation of Wamel. The Annales Blandinienses record the death in 1023 of "Godefridus dux". The necrology of Liège Saint-Lambert records the death "VI Kal Oct" of "Godefridi pacifici ducis."
In 1024 Gozelon attended the election of the King of Germany, who would a few laters become Konrad (Conrad) II, Holy Roman Emperor. Gozelon was referred to as "Duke of the Ripuarians" - referring to the Ripuarian Franks who had settled the area from the Rhineland westward into what became the Austrasian territory of Lotharingia:[3]

Wipo, in his description of the election of Konrad II King of Germany in 1024, names him "Gozilo Duke of the Ripuarians."
Duke of Upper Lotharingia
In 1033, Gozelon was appointed to succeed Frederic III, the Duke of Upper Lotharingia, by Konrad II King of Germany (who was his Gozelon's distant cousin). [3] [6]

"Adelaydis comitissa uxor quondam…Ludouici comitis" donated property "per manum Gozelonis ducis atque Godefridi…et pro eius amore Dominique Frederici prefati ducis fratris" to Verdun Saint-Vanne by charter dated to [1038/40], subscribed by "dux Gozelo et eius filius Godefridus".
In personam Union of Lower and Upper Lotharingia
Although Lower and Upper Lotharingia remained technically partitioned, they were effectively united in personam under Gozelon, who had become the Duke of both the northern and southern territories (stretching from the North Sea to Burgundy). They were separated again following his death (see below).[3] [4] [5] [6]

Family
Gozelon may have married a daughter of Berengar II, Re d'Italia (King of Italy) by the name of Urraca or Junca of Ivrea, although it is considered uncertain. [3]

Gozelon and his wife had six children: [3]

Godefried (Godefroid), who succeeded his father as Duke of Upper Lotharingia, became the Marquis of Tuscany through marriage, and later in life succeeded Frederic of Luxembourg (who replaced his younger brother) to become Duke of Lower Lotharingia
Mathilde, who married Heinrich Pfalzgraf of Lotharingia
Gozelon (Gothelo), who was installed as Gozelon II Duke of Lower Lotharingia (to succeed his father)
Frederic, who was elected as Pope Stephen IX
Uda (Oda), who married Lambert II Comte de Louvain
Regelindis, who married Albert II Comte de Namur
Death and Successions
Gozelon, who was then referred to as the "Duke of Lotharingia" - even though the territories of Lower and Upper Lotharingia had not themselves been recombined - died on 19 April 1044 and was buried at the historic Munsterbilzen Abbey founded in 670 and located in the current Belgian province of Limburg: [3] [6]

- The Chronicon of Bernold records the death in 1044 of "Gozzilo dux Lotharingorum". :- The necrology of Lüneburg records the death "19 Apr" of "Gozlinus dux". Heinrich III King of Germany regranted "comitatum…in Thrente" to the bishop of Utrecht by charter dated 22 May 1046, which specifies that the grant was made "post obitum Gozlini ducis nostre".
Following the death of Gozelon, the Holy Roman Emperor Heinrich II again effectively separated Lower and Upper Lotharingia by providing that eldest son Godefried would only succeed has father's later title as Duke of Upper Lotharingia, while his younger son Gozelon would succeed to his earlier title as Duke of Lower Lotharingia. [3] [6]

5160 Gudrød the Hunter (Old Norse: Guðrǫðr veiðikonungr, Norwegian: Gudrød Veidekonge), also known as the Magnificent (Old Norse: enn gǫfugláti, Norwegian: den gjeve), is a LEGENDARY CHARACTER portrayed in the Norse sagas as a Norwegian petty king in the early 9th century. According to the sagas, he was the father of Halfdan the Black, and thus the grandfather of Harald Fairhair, the first king of unified Norway. He is considered by modern historians to be of a more mythical nature than other ancestors of Harald and Halfdan, and he cannot be identified historically. Historians have in turn made a number of proposals seeking to identify him with various would-be contemporary historical figures.

According to Ynglingasaga, Gudrod is the son of Halfdan Eysteinsson, whose wife was Liv Dagsdatter. He married Alfhild daughter of Alfálrin of Alfheim and acquired half the district of Vingulmork through her. She bore him a son Geirstad-Alf.

After the death of Alfhild he sought to marry Asa, daughter of Harald Redbeard of Agder but was refused. Gudrod then went to Agder, killed Harald and his son, Gyrd, and took Aasa to wife. She bore him a son, Halfdan. Gudrod was soon murdered on Aasa's orders. [1][2]
Gudrød and Godfraidh
Parallels have been drawn between Gudrød in Norway and Godfraidh in Ireland, especially with their respective sons named Olav and Amlaib - but as Amlaib and Godfraidh were supposed to be in power in 871, defending their land from Harald Fairhair, grandson of Gudrød, the theory that Gudrød and Godfraidh are the same person has been generally rejected.

Gudrød Veidekonge of Hedeby
He must not be mistaken for Gudrød Sigfredsson Veidekonge, founder of Hedeby and father of Danish king Rørik I.[3]

5161 Gudrødr Ragnarsson, son of Ragnar Lothbrok Sigurdsson have sometimes been suggested to be the same person as Gothfraid of Lochlann. Since this can only be speculations, there will on WikiTree be one profile for each person. Thus, profiles of Gothfraid of Lochlann and Gudrødr Ragnarsson should NOT be merged.

Research Note
Relationships between historical figures could have been simplified or even fabricated in the text to give the impression that succession remained within the same family….Precise chronology is also difficult to assess from the Sagas….The conclusion must be that the tight family network described in the Sagas is unlikely to be correct and that the relationships shown below should be treated with considerable caution.

Titles

Marriage
Guillaume married about 968 to Emma de Blois. [1]

Death & Burial
Guillaume died at the end of 995 to early 996 according to Cawley.[1]

A frequently suggested date is February 3, 994, according to Wikipedia (English), the source is Nouvelle Biographie Générale. The date of 5 February 995 probably comes from Owen. (Owen, D. D. R. Eleanor of Aquitaine, Queen and Legend. 1993.)[2].
He was buried at the abbey church of Saint-Maixent-l'École.[3]

William IV Fierebras or Fierebrace ("Iron Arm"), Duke of Aquitaine and Count of Poitou from 963 to his retirement in 990.

William's father, William III, abdicated to the abbey of Saint-Cyprien in Poitiers and left the government to Fierebras. His mother was Gerloc, the daughter of Duke Rollo of Normandy. His sister was Adelaide, wife of Hugh Capet, the king against whom William later battled for his duchy. His early reign was characterised by many wars. He fought frequently against the counts of Anjou, the first time against Geoffrey Greymantle, who had taken Loudun. [4]

In 988, he went to war with the newly-elected king of France, Hugh Capet, whom he refused to recognise. Capet had been granted Aquitaine by King Lothair before the latter had been reconciled to William's father. Capet renewed his claim on the great duchy and invaded it that year. A royal army was defeated on the plain of the Loire Valley. William sheltered the young Louis, the son of Charles, Duke of Lower Lorraine, the last legitimate Carolingian heir. He opened the palace of Poitiers to him and treated him as royalty, regarding him as the true heir to the French throne.

In 968, he married Emma or Emmeline, daughter of Theobald I of Blois and Luitgarde of Vermandois. Their marriage was stormy, in part because of William's indulgence in the pursuit of women and, a hunting aficionado, wild animals. She banished his paramours, they separated twice for long periods, and finally he retired to a monastery, as his father had done, leaving Emma to rule Aquitaine in the name of their son William until 1004. Their second son, Ebles, died sometime after 997.

POITIERS Guillaume (I58870)
 
5168 Guillaume "Talvas (the Shield)" de Ponthieu was the son of Agnès de Ponthieu and her husband, Robert de Bellême, earl of Shrewsbury and count of Ponthieu, the second but oldest surviving son of Roger de Montgomery, vicomte of the Hièmois in Lower Normandy and earl of Shrewsbury.[1] Agnes was the older daughter of Gui, count of Ponthieu.[1]

Guillaume's brother, Andrew, attested to one of his brother's acts, but his mother is unknown,[1] although Cawley says he was also Agnes' son.[2]

Guillaume's father ceased to use the title count of Ponthieu in 1105 or 1106, probably on the death of his wife,[1] at which time Guillaume became Comte de Ponthieu, although Cawley says he succeeded his father.[2]

Guillaume married in late 1112/1115, as her second husband, Helie (Ela[3]) de Bourgogne (of Burgundy), widow of Bertrand de Toulouse Count of Tripoli, daughter of Eudes I (Odo Borel[3]), Duke of Burgundy [Capet] & his wife Sibylle de Bourgogne [Comté] ([1080]-28 Feb 1141). The Gesta Normannorum Ducum says that they had five children, three sons and two daughters, Europäische Stammtafeln says they had eleven,[4] Cawley's Medieval Lands says they had nine, and he had three children by a previous wife:[2]

Clemence de Ponthieu, died before 1189, married Juhel, son of Gauthier (Walter) of Mayenne, married before 12 July 1128 by which date they had a son Gaufrido primogenito;
Mabel de Ponthieu, who may not have been Ela's daughter as she was described as his daughter, not as one of their children;
Philippa de Ponthieu;
Guy II de Ponthieu, died in 1147 predeceasing his father, became Comte de Ponthieu before 1129;
Guillaume de Ponthieu, Comte de Alençon in 1166;
Robert de Ponthieu;
Robert de Garennes, a monk by 1147;
Guillaume de Ponthieu;
Enguerrand de Ponthieu;
Enguerrand de Ponthieu;
Jean I de Ponthieu, Count of Alençon in 1141, married Beatrix du Maine aka d'Anjou, daughter of Helie d"Anjou aka Elias II, Count of Maine, and Philippa du Perche, daughter of Rotrou III, Count of Perche;
Adela (aka Ela) de Ponthieu, died 4 October 1174, married 1) William III de Warenne, third Earl of Surrey, who took the cross and died on 19 January 1148 at Laodicea,[3] oldest child of William II de Warenne and his wife, Isabel de Vermandois, and 2) Patrick of Salisbury, first earl of Salisbury [earl of Wiltshire], younger son of Walter of Salisbury and his wife, Sibyl de Sourches;[5]
Cawley speculates that Guillaume had a first wife who was the mother of some of Guillaume's children based on:

Ela's age, as her first marriage contract was dated June 1095, he speculates she was born in 1080 and gave birth to a son Pons de Touslouse speculatively born in 1096;[2]
Ela's first husband Bertrand de Toulouse died in April 1112;[2]
Guillaume's daughter Clemence having a son Gaufrido primogenito (therefore not her only child) by July 1128.[2]
Could Ela have borne 12 children to her second husband if they married after 1112 and she was born in 1080? It is biologically possible for a women to continue giving birth into her late 40s, so Ela could have had 12 children with her second husband.
The earliest a child of Guillaume and Ela's marriage could be born would be about January 1113, could that child have had two children by July 1128 when she was aged 15? It is biologically possible for Clemence to have had two children by the age of 15.
He resigned Ponthieu before 1129 in favour of his son Guy[2] (Wido).

"Gulielmus comes Pontivorum" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte for the souls of "his predecessors earl Roger and Mabel his wife, count Guy and Adda his wife, his father Robert de Belesmo and his mother Agnes and…Ela his wife and of their sons two of them called Robert and two William and two Enguerrand and Mabel his daughter" by charter dated 1127.[2]

5169 Guillaume de Maillard dit Bouchevilliers married Isabeau Whitney (Hutenay[1] in French sources) thereby acquiring before 1451[2] the Norman seigneuries of Champagne and Broullart which were inherited by his wife from her parents. Guillaume and Isabeau were parents of a son Vigor[3] and were mentioned in civil documents in 1459 and November 1474.[4]

Research notes
An estimated birth year of 1415 was simply chosen for the purpose of situating him chronologically and may need to be substantially adjusted as new information is uncovered.

The dit Bouchevilliers[5] name may be a clue to his family origins.

Biography
Guillaume Thibaut / Thibauld Among the "filles à marier" "Marriageable girls" of New France - Marie-Madeleine Lefrançois (François) was from Metz, Lorraine. Her father, Isaac Le François, was deceased when his daughter arrived in Canada in the summer of 1654. He had been the Captain of a Light Cavalry unit in France. First mention of Marie Magdelaine in Canada is 11-16-1654 at her marriage contract to Guillaume Thibaut. She was not able to sign her name. In January 1655, they were married in the Jesuit chapel of Québec. She was about 20 and he was about 37.

At Marie Magdelaine François's marriage to Guillaume Thibaut, she brought with her a dowry of 400 livres (monnaie de compte française French money of the time). She chose for her husband, a tailor who was the son of bourgeois parents from Rouen, Normandy. He was able to sign his name, therefore had some education.

Guillaume Thibaut had first arrived unmarried in Canada in 1638, then he returned to France probably in 1639 where he lived until 1643. In April of that year, he signed a contract for three years at La Rochelle before Notary Teuleron for a pay of 100 livres a year with 60 livres given in advance. According to the contract, he was living in La Rochelle and worked as a baker. From this, it can be determined that Marie Magdelaine's dowry of 400 livres was an attractive sum of money.

In 1650, Thibault was established in Château-Richer on the Beaupré coast. In December of that year, Olivier Le Tardif conceded land to Guillaume Thibault at Château-Richer. Olivier Le Ttardif was one of the sponsors of the 1643 voyage to Canada where many recruits had signed on. Le Tardif was the manager of the company store for the Company of 100 Associates in Québec.

The 1666 census picked the Thibault family up as living on the Beaupré coast. Thibault had in his employ a recruit named Robert Villemonet, a 23-year old coppersmith.

The census of 1667 showed that he owned 5 head of cattle and 15 arpents (acres) of cleared land being farmed.

In February 1682, Thibault purchased the property of Simon Guyon who had recently died for the sum of 2000 livres.

Guillaume Thibaut died at Chateau-Richer 8-21-1686 at the age of 64. On the 28th of April 1695, his estate worth 1175 livres was distributed to his children.

Marie Madeleine François had a second marriage to François Fafard, a widower, in 1696. Source: A point in history 
THIBAULT Guillaume (I57755)
 
5174 Guiscard was the son and successor of Hugues Count of Roucy and of his father’s second wife Richentia.[1]

He married circa 1147 to Elisabeth of Mareuil-sur-Ay as her second husband. With his wife and three oldest sons he was mentioned in the 1160’s.

Guiscard and Elisabeth were the parents of several children:[1][2]

Raoul who succeded his father as Count of Roucy
Jean who succeeded his brother as Count of Roucy
Ebles chanoine de Reims
Guiscard or Richard (d.s.p. mentioned in 1170 but not in 1182)
Henry died 1192-1196
Eustachie successor after her two brothers to the county of Roucy
Beatrix
an additional daughter (per Anselme not mentioned in 1170 or 1182)
He died circa 1180.[2]

Research notes
He was known simply as Guiscard or Wischard (in Latin Wischardi/Wischardus) in the records. The double name of Robert Guiscard found in Anselme's work is perhaps confusion with his ancestor of that name in the Hauteville line.

Burgundy
"Bourgogne (French), Burgund (German), Burgundy (English) is an area historically part of modern France and Switzerland. It was inhabited by Celts, Romans (Gallo-Romans), Burgundians (a Germanic tribe) and by the Franks.

For a brief historical time this area was controlled by the Burgundians, filling the void left by the collapse of the western half of the Roman Empire. "In A.D. 411, they crossed the Rhine and established a kingdom at Worms. Amidst repeated clashes between the Romans and Huns, the Burgundian kingdom eventually occupied what is today the borderlands between Switzerland, France, and Italy. In 534, the Franks defeated Godomar, the last Burgundian king, and absorbed the territory into their growing empire."[2]

In 411 AD, Gundahar/Gundicar, King of Burgundy, and Goar, King of the Alans, placed a puppet emperor, Jovinus, on the throne of Gaul. The Alans and others had previously crossed the Rhine and invaded Gaul. With the authority of this puppet, Jovinus, Gundahar settled the west bank of the Rhine, and seized Worms, Speyer, and Strasbourg. The Emperor Honorius later granted the land to Gundahar, refered to as "commander of the Burgundians"

As frequently happens, the Burgundians, not content with what they had on the Rhine, continued raids into Roman upper Gallia Belgica. In 436, these raids were brought to an end. The Roman general, Flavius Aetius, recruited Hun mercenaries. They fought and overwhelmed the Rhineland kingdom kiling Gundahar and a majority of the Burgundian tribe.[7]

BURGUNDEN Gundioc (I58191)
 
5179 Gundred (Gundreda, Gundrada etc.) was Flemish, and probably a relative of the advocates of Saint-Bertin, and more distantly of the counts of Flanders. It has been suggested that she and her brother Frederic were already land-holders in England before the Norman invasion of 1066.[1][2]

The medieval Hyde Chronicle, also known as the Warenne Chronicle says, when read together with the contemporary writings of Orderic Vitalis, that Gundred the wife of William (I) de Warenne was a sister of Gerbod the Earl of Chester, who returned to Flanders in 1071.[3][4] According to her tombstone, she was born to a line of "dukes". This could refer to different families, but two are worth commenting on:

The family of the counts or margraves of Flanders were described this way on the tomb of her contemporary Queen Mathilde, the wife of William the conqueror.[3]
This can not refer to the line of the Dukes and counts or dukes of Normandy, because when Gundred's son was prohibited from the king's daughter it was on the basis of them having a much more distant relationship.[5]
Gundrada, Gerbod and Frederic may have been the children of Gerbod, the advocate of St Bertin, 1026-67.[6]

Gundrada married William de Warrene before 1077, as in that year the first prior of St Pancras at Lewes was appointed, and Gundrada and William had founded the priory together.[6]

Gundrada and William had children, and Orderic confirms that at least the sons were both children of Gundrada[7]:

William, second earl of Warenne and Surrey,[6] died in 1138;
Rainald, second son, was old enough to command troops in 1090,[6] inherited lands from his mother in Flanders and died before 1118;
Edith, who was married to 1) Gerald de Gournay, and 2) Drogo of Moncey;[6]
Dugdale claimed they had another daughter who married to Erneis de Colungis or Coluncis, but the daughter's son, Erneis who entered the monastery of St Evroul before 1089, was too old to be Gundrada's grandson;[6]

According to a tradition at Lewes priory, Gundrada died in child-birth on 27 May 1085 at Castle Acre.[6] However, the surviving document we have contains mistakes and was written centuries later.[8]

She was buried in the chapter-house at Lewes. The burial location of Gundrada and her husband, William, was lost until 1845-47 when the railway to Brighton was built across the priory site. Among the finds were lead caskets inscribed WILLEMS and GUNDRADA respectively containing bones. Also found was the black marble tombstone of Gundrada. The bones were reburied in the parish church of St. John the Baptist, Southover High Street in Lewes, East Sussex. Most of the inscription on her tombstone, which begins with Stirps Gundrada ducum has worn away, and the black marble tombstone has been relocated to St John's Church, Southover (Lewes).[6]

--- Final and Conclusive Evidence of Parentage---

Ordericus Vitalis names her sister of Gherbod the Fleming, 1st Earl of Chester, but G. F. Duckett states that she was his foster-sister and she was the eldest daughter of Queen Matilda & William the Conqueror. [9]

UNKNOWN Gutiérre (I59858)
 
5182 Gutina Unknown was formerly cited in WT with a birth date of 0854 in Burgos and a death date of after 0885 (place unknown). The dates have been maintained but the original birth place, Burgos, has not been used, because it was not founded until 0884. The County of Castile, Kingdom of Asturias (Condado de Castilla, Reino de Asturias) has been used in WikiTree for her birth and death place to at least place her in Spain in the time period she lived in.

It has been speculated that Gutina was the daughter of Diego Rodríguez, Count of Castile, but documents do not support this. She is said to have been the wife of Fernando Muñoz (abt 0825-abt 0890). Fernando had at least two, perhaps three, sons, ostensibly with Gutina: [1]

Nuño Fernández (0879-0928, acc WT). He was Count of Burgos, 0922, Count of Castile, 0926, father of Gutier Núñez (Count of Burgos, 0931).
Gonzalo Fernández "Conde de Burgos y Castilla" de Burgos (0885-0915, acc WT), father of the renown Fernán González "Conde de Castilla y de Álava" de Castilla. Note that one source suggests Gonzalo's dates are abt 0855-aft 01 May 0915. [1] He was Count of Burgos, 0899 and 0915, Count of Castile, 0912 and 0915.

Research Notes
Duplicated Profiles in WikiTree

Gutina was duplicated under Diaz_de Castilla-1, Gutina Diaz de Castilla, Castile-130, which was changed (LNAB) to Gutina Unknown, and Unknown-167522, Gutina Unknown. The first two profiles are being merged into the third.

Fernando and Gutina Castroserio

The following information, prevalent on the internet, is an example of incorrect data that has spread from one site to another and which may account for confusion regarding Fernando Muñoz and Gutina. In this instance, The Foundation for Medieval Genealogy cites six children for Diego Rodríguez, among whom is Gutina: [2]

[GUTINA Díaz. Pérez de Urbel emphasises that there is no proof of the parentage of Gutina Díaz, wife of Fernando Muñoz. However, her grandson, conde Fernando González, confirming donations to San Félix made by conde Diego Rodríguez de Castilla, suggests a close family connection. m. FERNANDO Muñoz "Niger/él de Castroserio [sic]", son of MUNIO Núñez "Rasura/él de Branosera" & his wife Argilo ---.]

Note that the above is erroneous despite its prevalence on the web. Gutina or Godina or Gotinha de Castrosiero is an 8th century figure, possibly the wife of Fernando de Castrosiero, who lived in the area of Castile. According to an inscription outside the apse of the chapel of Saints Centola and Elena in Siero, Burgos (currently an abandoned area in Valdelateja, Burgos), Fernando and Gutina were the sponsors of its construction or reconstruction in 0782 or 0792. Some historians erroneously have considered Fernando and Gutina as relatives of Count Fernán González, even Fray Justo Pérez de Úrbel, who, based on a document that he dated in the year 0860, and disregarding the aforementioned epigraphy, took them to be the alleged parents of Count Gonzalo Fernández and, therefore, grandparents of Fernán González. [3] [4]


Regarding the entries for the Rodríguez-Fernández family

The Rodríguez-Fernández family members who were linked originally in WT are from different time periods and there is no evidence they were directly related, i.e., they have been unlinked from one another in WikiTree:

Gutina Unknown (dates unknown), daughter
Sulla Bella Unknown (dates unknown, acc WT), daughter
Asura Castilla (0860-0909, acc WT), daughter, not investigated
Diego Rodríguez (abt 0855-0885), husband
Asura Fernández ( 0850-0880, acc WT; estimated abt 0945-abt 1005), wife

5185 Guyon and family emigrated to North America as part of the Percheron Immigration, a small group of families and some single men from the region of Perche, in the province of Normandy, brought over to New France in 1634 to colonize new areas.

Jean de Lauzon, the Governor of New France, awarded a concession of land to Robert Giffard de Moncel, physician to the colony. Giffard, now Seigneurie of Beauport, recruited Guyon and other tradesmen to the new colony with the offer of 1,000 arpents of land with hunting and fishing rights in exchange for three years of service.

Guyon traveled aboard a convoy of four ships under the command of Charles Duplessis-Bochart and arrived in New France in 1634. Guyon was awarded land in newly-established Beauport, Quebec, one of the oldest European-founded communities in Canada (and now a borough of Quebec City). Under the Seigneurial system of New France|seigneurial system, he received a rear fief (arrière fief) near rivière du Buisson. He attached its name to his own, Guyon du Buisson.

Guyon lived there until he died in 1663. He built a small mill and helped build the parish church of Québec and the governor's residence.

For nine years, he and Zacharie Cloutier disputed Giffard's seigneural rights to receive foi et hommage (fealty and homage). Refusing to accept him as their superior, they did not stake their lands or pay him annual taxes. On July 19, 1646, the governor of the colony took action to force Cloutier and Guyon to comply with their contractual obligations. Such cases of censitaire refractoriness filled the time of the courts for the duration of the seigneurial system, both during the French regime and under the English.

Emigration March 1634 from Dieppe, France:

ARRIVAL IN NEW FRANCE
On January 15, 1634, just a century after the arrival of Jacques Cartier, the general assembly of the Company of One Hundred Associates met at the town house of President Lauzon and decided to make a concession to Robert Giffard of the land and Seigneurie of Beauport.

The new Seigneur, a native of Autheuil, near Tourouvre, did not waste any time in contacting his friends, intelligent people and men experienced in different trades, to achieve his project: to go and populate a seigneurie with folks wishing to live mainly off farming, as true colonists and not as fur traders. He needed to be persuasive and sometimes make attractive offers to get the most talented candidates.

In particular, Giffard met with Jean Guyon, master mason and Zacharie Cloutier, master carpenter and presented his plans to them. Come with me to New France with each of your children for a period of three years: "you will cut, clear and farm the lands and the woods of my seigneurie of Beauport"... This of Beauport on March 14, 1634. Guyon was promised 1,000 arpents of land with hunting and fishing rights. During the first three years, all of his expenses would be paid by the seigneur. The commitment was signed on Saint-Jean-Baptiste day. Also, in 1636, Giffard will pay the expenses for the family members, who stayed in France to come here. Several other conditions and advantages were signed in the presence of the notary, such as Roussel, Giffard, Damien Chamboy, Jean Pousset and Jean Guyon.

On the same March 14, Jean Guyon, censitaire of the Seigneur, apothecary, Giffard, sold to Denis Gentil, Sieur de Rougemont, a bit of land for a garden, located at the entrance to the city of Mortagne, parish of Loise. The price was 45 livres. However, the head of the Guyon family kept a house that he owned at Mortagne. He would give it as a gift to a charitable religious organization at Saint-Jean, 20 years later, on October 18, 1653.

The Guyon family, at the last minute, decided to go to New France in 1634. Together, they wanted to share the risks, the hardships and the joys of such an adventure. We know that, Mathurine Robin had brought into the world a son, Michel, on the preceding March 3. What courage to undertake an Atlantic crossing with so young a child! The first contingent of immigrants was comprised of 43 people, including the Guyon family of eight. The eldest, Barbe Guyon, married to Pierre Paradis since February 11, 1632, would wait a few years before joining her family in America.

To leave one's country is to die a little. To reach New France was to begin to live a promising future. They took the route to Rouen, then to Dieppe, port of embarkation, where a fleet of four ships under the command of Charles Duplessis-Bochart, admiral of the fleet of the One Hundred Associates awaited them.

ARRIVAL
According to the Relation des Jesuites, on May 31, 1634, a small boat came to Québec with the news that three ships belonging to the Associates had arrived near Tadoussac. A fourth, that of Duplessis-Bochart, was expected at any moment. On June 4, Robert Giffard and his recruits from Perche, including 35 people from Mortagne, joyfully reached Québec on the day of Pentecost. For Giffard, this meant to see again the country that he had loved for a long time. For his companions, this was to discover and to begin to love it.

Giffard, his wife and his two children stayed at Fort Saint-Louis. The personal property and tools of the colonists were placed in the old warehouse of the port. Men, women and children found lodging in the barracks erected near the shore. Then some scouts and finally the entire group left the Lower-Town to meet at the small river of Notre-Dame de Beauport. As quickly as possible, they needed to sow, to build a public house, to get settled. Near the Dubuisson River, Zacharie Cloutier and Jean Guyon laid out their first foundation, that of a community house.

From the first year, wheat grew very quickly, along the roads and in the clearings.

Notes:

JEAN GUYON from "Our French-Canadian Ancestors" by Thomas J. Laforest

One of the earliest French families to settle in the country, one of the most numerous in the beginning, one of the most respected and best known, was that of Jean Guyon and Mathurin Robin. The descendants are often recognized as Dion, sometimes as Despres, Dumontier, Lemoine and in Louisiana as Derbanne.

PERCHE
The Guyon family has its roots in Perche, more precisely at Tourouvre, head town of the Canton, in the Arrondisement of Mortagne-au-Perche, in the Department of the Orne.

Jacques, the father of Our Canadian Ancestor, appears for the first time at Tourouvre, on Monday, January 6, 1578, as a witness to a sale of land. On Friday, April 15, 1578, Jacques and his wife, Marie Huet, made a mutual donation to the survivor. This was their marriage contract. In the parish registries of Tourouvre, we can read the baptismal act of their daughter, Marie, held at the baptismal font on September 21, 1588 by François Lousche and Marie , widow of Jehan (Jean) Charpentier. Thomas Crete, a local bourgeois merchant, became her husband.

Jean Guyon was baptized at Saint-Aubin de Tourouvre on Friday, September 18, 1592, a century after the discovery of America. His godfathers were Jean Collin and Pierre Dolinet and his godmother Catherine Goddin. Jean grew up at Tourouvre, attended school, learned a trade and prepared the foundation for his home. On May 18, 1614, at the age of 22, he lent to Pantaleon Bigot, a laborer at Autheuil, a small village to the southeast of Tourouvre (the small village of Robert Giffard), an amount consisting of "a small pistolet d'or, fifty-two sols in coins, quarts d'ecus and other monnaie blanche", valued at 84 livres. It would seem that this trade as a mason already allowed him to have some savings.

On June 12, 1615, Jean Guyon was married at Mortagne, the parish of Saint-Jean, to Mathurine Robin, probably the daughter of Eustache and Madeleine Avrard. The couple lived at Mortagne. However, a little more than five months after their wedding on November 30, the parishioners of Tourouvre requested from "Jehan (Jean) Froger and Jehan (Jean) Guyon, mason, living in the parish of Saint-Jean at Mortagne, a flight of stones to go up the first floor of the bell tower with a huisserie of white stones from La Louverye, at the bottom and entrance to this flight". A "husserie" is defined as a fixed part in wood, forming the arch and lintel of a door in a section of a wall. The pilgrim descendants visiting the church of Tourouvre can still admire the flight of stones and frame built by his Ancestor.

MASON AT MORTAGNE
Jean Guyon worked at Mortagne for more than 18 years. Eight of his children, whom we will mention later, were also born there.

Mortagne has old walls and it was necessary to maintain them. On July 21,1625, the administrator of the residents of the town, one Jehan/Jean Ailleboust, ordered Guyon to go ahead with some repairs. A promise of 150 livres was made and a delivery of scaffolding, water, lime and sand. By the following August 22, nothing had been done. Jean went to the Court to urge the town administrator to deliver to him the money and the necessary materials to begin the work on the walls.

Jean certainly carried out many other works. He even was an employer of apprentice masons. According to Madame Pierre Mortagne (?), on April 22, 1626, Pierre Hayes, of the parish of Saint-Jean, was hired for three years "to begin on next Pentecost" in the service of Jean. The latter "will instruct him well and duly in his trade as mason, will feed him, direct him, provide him with heat and a place to sleep and in exchange, the pupil will serve his master faithfully and give him thirty livres for board for the three years.".

Zacharie Maheu, future Canadian, signed as a witness, in the presence of the Notary Sebastién Roussel. In 1632, Jacques Patard, a mason at Tourouvre, went to learn the secrets of his trade at Mortagne, at the home of Jean Guyon.

To end this important part in the life of Jean Guyon and Mathurin Robin, let's recall that their eldest daughter, Barbe, on February 11, 1632, agreed to her marriage contract, in the presence of Mathurin Roussel, to Pierre Paradis, a gunsmith and son of the late Jacques and Michelle Pelle. Jean Guyon's mother, Marie Huet, had been dead since February 26, 1626.
