• Name	St SAUVEUR Néel
  Birth	Abt 1008	Manche, Normandy, France
  Gender	Male
  Death	Bef 1073	Saint Saveur, Normandie, France
  Notes	Quarreled with Ranulph, Count of Bayeux, about the Isles of La Marche. Banished 1045. Founded the Monastery of St. Sauveur in 1080. Nigel de Glanville witnessed his charter as "de familia mea" to Marmoutier in 1042, and again in 1060. "Paul Reed, citing Rev. Statham's 'The Descent of the family of Statham' (London, 1925), only mentions Adele, daughter of William de Vernon as a wife of Niel. However the charter witnessed by Niel and his wife Adele, along with nearly all of their children, took place after all of the children were born. Thus any prior wife would not be indicated. The dates of Niel's 1st children would indicate an earlier wife. The charter did not mention the son Ivo (only sons Roger, William, another William, and Gerard), but did mention two other daughters besides Bilelde (Emma and Mahildis, either one of which could be the daughter that married Robert Bigod)."[1] Sources ↑ http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=jweber&id=I10913 Van Torhoudt, Eric, (2006) "Les Sièges du Pouvoir des Néel, Vicomtes dans le Cotentin" in Flambard Héricher ed.
