She married King Zwentibold of Lotharingia and at his death in August 900 (when Oda was younger than 15), she contracted a SECOND MARRIAGE with Gerhard I of Metz (9CD1-KW4).

| 103 | -- Wikiwand: Ereleuva Ereleuva was the mother of the Ostrogothic king Theoderic the Great. She often is referred to as the concubine of Theoderic's father, Theodemir, although historian Thomas Hodgkin notes "this word of reproach hardly does justice to her position. In many of the Teutonic nations, as among the Norsemen of a later century, there seems to have been a certain laxity as to the marriage rite..." That Gelasius refers to her as "regina" ("queen") suggests that she had a prominent social position despite the informality of her union with Theodemir. Ereleuva was Catholic, and was baptized with the name "Eusebia." She had probably converted from Arianism as an adult, but the details are unclear in the historical record. Ereleuva is regarded as having taken to Catholicism quite seriously, as indicated by her correspondence with Pope Gelasius and mention of her in Ennodius's "Panegyric of Theoderic." Her name was spelled variously by historians in antiquity as "Ereriliva" (by the fragmentary chronicle of Anonymus Valesianus, c. 527) and "Erelieva' (by Jordanes), and now largely is known to modern historians as "Ereleuva," as she was addressed most frequently by Pope Gelasius I. Related to the Erilaz from which the Heruli were tied with the Ostrogoths even after they returned to Scandinavia. ****************** Foundation for Medieval Genealogy- Concubine: ERELEUVA [Erelieva]. She was baptised a Catholic as EUSEBIA[235]. Iordanes names "Erelieva concubina" as mother of Theodoric[236]. She went with her son to Italy.

Hawise LINKS http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/NORMAN%20NOBILITY.htm#OsbernBolebec MEDIEVAL LANDS OSBERN de Bolbec, son of --- (-bur [Saint-Etienne de Fontaines]). "Duke Richard [II]" donated property to the abbey of Mont Saint-Michel by charter dated to [1026], subscribed by "…Osbernus frater comitisse, Hunfredus frater eius…"[459]. It is assumed that "comitisse" in this document refers to Gunnor, wife of Richard [II] Duke of Normandy, and that "frater comitisse" should be interpreted as "brother-in-law". A manuscript at Caen, which commemorates the death of Abbess Mathilde, daughter of William I King of England, names "Osbernus Giffardus, Haduisa eius conjunx" among the deceased at "sancti Stephani Fontanensis", presumably indicating that they were buried there[460]. It is assumed that "Osbernus Giffardus" refers to Osbern de Bolbec given that his son used the name Giffard. m [firstly] [AVELINE], sister of GUNNORA [mistress of Richard I Duke of Normandy]. She and her three sisters, as well as their husbands, are named by Robert de Torigny[461]. Guillaume de Jumièges names "Gueuve et Aveline" as two sisters of Gunnor, stating that the latter married to Osbern de Bolbec[462]. On the other hand, the Genealogia Fundatoris of Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire names ”Turketillus…frater…Turulphi, cuius filius Hasculfus d´Harcourt” married “aliam sororem…comitissæ Gunnoræ” by whom he was father of “duos…filios…Walterum de Giffard primogenitum…”[463]. As noted below, another primary source indicates that the wife of "Osbernus Giffardus" (assumed to refer to Osbern de Bolbec given that his son used the name Giffard) was named Hawise[464]. It is not known whether Osbern was married twice or whether all the sources cited refer to the same person, one or other mistaking the name. [m secondly HAWISE, daughter of --- (-bur [Saint-Etienne de Fontaines]). A manuscript at Caen, which commemorates the death of Abbess Mathilde, daughter of William I King of England, names "Osbernus Giffardus, Haduisa eius conjunx" among the deceased at "sancti Stephani Fontanensis", presumably indicating that they were buried there[465]. It is supposed that "Osbernus Giffardus" refers to Osbern de Bolbec, given that his son used the name Giffard. If this is correct, Hawise was presumably his second wife, unless "Aveline" is an error for "Hawise" in Guillaume de Jumièges and Robert de Torigny which names Osbern´s supposed first wife. Osbern & his [first/second] wife had four children: a) GAUTHIER Giffard (-before 1085). Guillaume de Jumièges names "Gautier-Giffard 1er et Godefroi" as the sons of Osbern de Bolbec & his wife[466]. Seigneur de Longueville, Normandy. "…Walterius Giffardus…" witnessed the charter dated 29 Aug 1060 under which "milite…Richardo…fratribus Willelmo…atque Balduino" donated "Gausberti Villa" to Chartres Saint-Père[467]. He took part in the Norman conquest of England in 1066, and received grants of 107 lordships (48 in Buckinghamshire) as his reward[468]. Orderic Vitalis states that the king "gave [Walter Giffard] the county of Buckinghamshire", in the chronicler's description of post-conquest grants made by King William, without specifying that he was created earl[469]. m ERMENGARDE, daughter of GERARD Flaitel & his wife ---. b) GODEFROI Giffard . Guillaume de Jumièges names "Gautier-Giffard 1er et Godefroi" as the sons of Osbern de Bolbec & his wife[482]. 1059. Vicomte d'Arques. m --- de Rouen, daughter of GOZELIN Vicomte de Rouen & his wife Emmeline ---. Her origin is confirmed by the charter dated Easter 1080 under which Guillaume d'Arques confirmed the donation by his grandfather Gozelin Vicomte d'Arques to Holy Trinity, Rouen[483]. "Grandfather" must be "maternal grandfather" as the paternal ancestors of Guillaume d'Arques are confirmed by Guillaume de Jumièges (see above and below)[484]. c) [JOSCELINE de Bolbec . Josceline and her marriage are shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[561]. This is presumably based on Robert de Torigny, continuation of William of Jumièges[562], the unreliability of this part of whose chronicle is discussed in the Complete Peerage[563]. Guillaume de Jumièges records that one of the nieces of Gunnor, mistress of Richard I Comte [de Normandie], married "Hugues de Montgommeri"[564]. There must be some doubt about this as her husband would have been her first cousin. The primary source which confirms her precise parentage has not yet been identified.] m HUGUES de Montgommery Vicomte d'Hiémois, son of ROGER I Seigneur de Montgommery and Vicomte de l'Hiémois & his wife Josceline --- (-killed in battle 7 Feb [1035/before 1048], bur Troarn). ------------------- Bolbec: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolbec http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osbern Osbern de Bolbec, noble normand d'origine viking, père de Gautier Ier Giffard, lié aux "Richardides". -------------------- SOME NOTES LINE A Osbern Giffard [c] b abt 1020, of Brimpsfield, Gloucestershire, England, d aft 1086.

Most sources generally agree that Osbern de Bolebec, Lord of Longueville in Normandy is the earliest known progenitor, and that he married one of the three sisters of Gunnora, mistress, and later the wife of, Duke Richard I of Normandy. a. According to the early writings of Robert de Torigny, one of Gunnora's sisters married Osbern de Bolebec, another married an unidentified forester of St. Vaast d'Equiqueville, and another married Torulf/Thorold of Pont-Audemer. Contemporary theory places Wevia as the wife of Osbern de Bolebec, Senfria as the wife of the unknown forester, and Duvelina as wife of Torulf/Thorold. Additionally, it is also believed that Torigny at times, inadvertently, compressed two generations of the same given name into one | de Crepon, Avelina Duceline (I25851)

| 105 | --1666 born in England --son of George Boone II and Sarah Uppey --married Mary Maugridge, daughter of John and Mary Milton --Quaker; weaver by trade --immigrated from England to The Colonies after some of his children had already immigrated --Daniel Boone's paternal grandfather --Josiah Noah Boone's grandfather GEORGE BOONE III (suffix is in historical writing; just keeps them somewhat straight, but probably isn't accurate as there was a longer line of George Boones) George Boone, III, the son of George Boone II and Sarah Uppey, was born at Stoak, near Exeter, (AKA Stoke Canon, a hamlet), in Devonshire, England in 1666. He married Mary Maugridge, daughter of John and Mary Milton Maugridge of Bradnich, Devonshire, England. They were members of the Society of Friends (Quakers) in Callumpton, Devonshire, from which Meeting they took a letter of recommendation to the Society of Friends in America. They had at least nine children: George Boone IV, Sarah Boone, Squire Boone, Mary Boone, John Boone who never married, Joseph Boone, Benjamin Boone, James Boone and Samuel Boone. George Boone, III was a weaver by trade. He and Mary were part of the Gwynedd Meeting Quakers. In 1712 his children, George Jr, Sarah, and Squire traveled to Pennsylvania to check out the land. On August, 17, 1717, about five years later, George III and Mary and their children still living at home, left Bradnich, Devonshire, England, a town eight miles from Exeter, 177 miles from London, and traveled to Bristol, where they sailed to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, arriving about two months later on October 10, 1717. They initially stayed in Abington for a few months, then in 1718, moved to North Wales and lived there for two years. In 1720, they moved to Oley, Exeter Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania, at "the western edge of European settlement in southeastern Pennsylvania. Before the 1750s this frontier was one of the most peaceful in all of North America, though, to be sure, European colonialism had introduced terrible turmoil into Indian societies. As a result of first Swedish, then Dutch, then subsequently English colonization, the native peoples of the Susquehanna and Delaware river region were devastated by imported diseases, reducing their village populations by as much as 90 percent by the eighteenth century. Commercial trade reoriented native economic life and introduced cutthroat competition among colonists and Indians alike for access to valuable fur-bearing regions and merchant centers." In Pennsylvania, Quaker authorities did not establish militia and negotiated with Indians over the title to land, and promised "the full and free privileges and Immunities of all the Said Laws as any other Inhabitants," to the indigenous population. In 1728 at Manatawny, a party of Shawnees got into a fight with some local settlers who refused them food. One Indian was wounded. The Boones and their community, ten miles away, anticipated trouble. George Boone III, the local magistrate, sent a message to the colonial governor asking for help, "in order to defend our frontiers . . . Our Inhabitants are Generally fled . . . there remains about 20 men with me to guard my mill, where I have about 1,000 bushels of wheat and flour, and we are resolved to defend ourselves to ye last Extremity." Later a dozen Shawnees, tried to get food from a few frightened families in the area. About 20 locals pursued them and two of the settlers were wounded. There was no further trouble. Under increased European population pressures, Shawnees, Delawares, and other Indians began moving west. "A steady stream of Indians, however, continued to pass along the Perkiomen Path, which cut directly through the Boone neighborhood." In Oley, PA George III served for many years as Justice of the Peace. When he became too old to continue, his oldest son, George Jr. took over, and became the Justice of the Peace. In 1741, the Oley Township was split and the the section of the Oley Township where the Boone's lived was renamed Exeter, in honor of their English origins. --compiled from various sources including previous life sketch and Hazel Atterbury Spraker, "The Boone Family" A genealogical history of the descendants of George and Mary Boone," (1922); and Original Boone Family Genealogy by James Boone March 21st, 1788. Notes for George Boone III George and his wife, Mary, emigrated to America from Brandnich, Devonshire, England. They arrived in Philadelphia, PA 10 Oct 1717. They settled in the Town of Exeter, Berks Co., PA. George was a weaver. There is a boulder marking the site of George and Mary home in Berks Co.

| 138 | "Eadburh, from the royal stock of the king of the Mercians." Daughter of Coenwulf, King of Mercia. Wife of Æthelred Mucel, ealdorman of the Gaini. Mother in Law of Alfred the Great. Eadburh and Æthelred had at least two children: - Ealdorman Æthelwulf (died 901) - Ealhswith (died 5 December 902), in 868 she married Alfred the Great, by whom she had five children who survived to adulthood. The name Eadburh means "Wealthy Fortress" According to Asser, Alfred the Great's biographer, the mother of Alfred's wife was "Eadburh, from the royal stock of the king of the Mercians. I often saw her myself with my very own eyes for several years before her death. She was a notable woman, who remained for many years after the death of her husband a chaste widow, until her death". Asser must have admired Eadburh indeed for he identifies her by name, when he did not even identify her daughter, Ealhswith, Alfred's wife, by name any where in his work. Eadburh's parentage is not known with certainty. The Foundation for Medieval Genealogy and the Henry Project (both respected genealogy research sites) both identify Eadburgh as a possible daughter of Coenwulf, King of Mercia from 796-821. In "The Earliest English Kings" Kirby identifies Eadburh as the daughter of Coenwulf, King of Mercia. He attributes this information also to Asser (Alfred the Great's biographer) stating "Alfred's wife Ealhswith was descended from Coenwulf through her mother, Eadburh, though Asser does not specify how." Others speculate that she was born to one of Coenwulf's children but no-one identifies which. It is important to note that Asser also identifies another woman named "Eadburgh" who was the daughter of Offa, King of Mercia (757-796). Offa's daughter was the wife of King Beorhtric of Wessex (reign 786 to 802). It is certain that this Eadburh was NOT the same as Ealhswith's mother. For Eadburh, Ealhswith's mother, is described as "royal noble and chaste" and she also lived at Alfred's court before her death. Asser had nothing but contempt for Eadburh, Offa's daughter, stating she poisoned her husband King Beorhtric, ended up living in exile in Francia, was rejected by King Charlemagne, became abbess of a convent but was expelled from the convent for fornication and ended her days as a street beggar in Italy.

| 141 | "Gerberga of Saxony was a French queen who ruled as regent of France during the minority of her son Lothair in 954–959. She was a member of the Ottonian dynasty. Her first husband was Gilbert, Duke of Lorraine. Her second husband was Louis IV of France. Contemporary sources describe her as a highly educated, intelligent and forceful political player." Family Gerberga was born c.913. She was the oldest daughter of Henry the Fowler, King of Germany, and his second wife, Matilda. Her older brother was Otto I of Germany. First marriage In 929, Gerberga married her first husband, Gilbert, Duke of Lorraine. They had four children: 1.) Alberade of Lorraine b. about 929. Married Renaud (originally as Ragenold), a Viking chieftain who became the Count of Roucy 2.) Henry, Duke of Lorraine b. about 932 3.) Gerberge of Lorraine b. about 935. Married Adalbert I of Vermandois. 4.) Wiltrude, b. about 937. Jocundus, a Lotharingia chronicler writing in the 1070s, recorded that Gerberga was the driving force behind Gilbert's decision to support her younger brother Henry when he rebelled against her older brother Otto I c.936. Giselbert was defeated by Otto I in 939 at the Battle of Andernach and, while trying to escape, drowned in the Rhine. Second marriage When Gilbert died, Gerberga was about 26 years old. She married secondly Louis IV of France in 939. They were parents to eight children: 1.) Lothair of France (941-986) 2.) Matilda b. about 943; married Conrad of Burgundy 3.) Hildegarde b. about 944 4.) Carloman b. about 945 5.) Louis b. about 948 6.) Charles, Duke of Lower Lorraine (953-993) 7.) Alberade b. before 953 8.) Henry b. about 953 Widowhood As regent Louis IV died on 10 September 954. At this time, his son and heir with Gerberga, Lothair of France, was only thirteen. Gerberga took action to ensure that Lothar could succeed his father. She reached an agreement with her brother-in-law Hugh the Great, who had been an adversary to Lothair's father. In exchange for supporting Lothair's rule Hugh was given rule over Aquitaine and much of Burgundy Gerberga did not seek the support of her brother, Emperor Otto I, because the interference of the East-Frankish emperor in West-Frankish affairs would have placed the West-Frankish kingdom in a weak position politically, and angered the West-Frankish nobles. After the death of Hugh the Great in 956, Gerberga and her sister Hadwig (who was Hugh's widow) were the heads of the two most powerful dynasties in West Francia. Along with their brother, Bruno, who was both archbishop of Cologne and duke of Lotharingia, Gerberga and Hadwig ruled the kingdom, until Lothair came of age. As abbess In 959, after Lothair had come of age, Gerberga became abbess of the Benedictine monastery of Notre Dame in Soissons. Nevertheless, she remained politically active. In 961 she was involved in choosing the new archbishop of Reims, Odalric. In 965 she was present at the imperial court in Cologne, when her son Lothair married Emma of Italy, the step-daughter of her brother Emperor Otto I. Death There is some debate about when Gerberga died. She is last documented in May 968. Since necrology records indicate that she died on 5 May, her date of death is often given as 968 or 969. The death date of 5 May 968 is not possible since Gerberga was still alive on 17 May 968 so her death date could only be in 969 or later some maintain that Gerberga did not die until 984. She is buried in the Abbey of Saint-Remi in Reims, Champagne. | von Sachsen, Queen of France Gerberga (I32264)

| 144 | "Here, too, (meaning the Benjamin Elledge Burying Grounds-kr) undoubtedly is the dust of Charity Elledge, mother of Benjamin Elledge and an own daughter of the Boones. While there is no conclusive proof, it is probable that Benjamin's father, Francis Elledge, is also buried here. No fragment of stone found at this place bears any lettering that could be connected with Francis Elledge, but the writings of Edward Boone Scholl indicate that Francis and Charity were buried together near Griggsville, while the late Samuel Peake of Winchester remembered distinctly having been told that old Jesse Elledge's mother was buried across the river in Pike county. A small fragment of stone found on the cemetery site bears the last three letters of the name "Charity," doubtless being a fragment of a stone erected at the grave of "Charity, wife of Francis Elledge." Francis and Charity both lived to a great old age. Francis Elledge was born in North Carolina in March, 1749. Both he and Charity, according to Boone Scholl, "lived past 95." Francis must, therefore, have died about the year 1844. Records left by descendants of his daughter, Mary Elledge Alcorn, indicate that he was a son of William Elledge and Sarah Kindred, pioneers in the Shenandoah Valley, in the county of Augusta, Virginia, where the William Scholls, parents of Pike county Abraham, challenged the ancient wilderness. It is probable that the early Scholls and the early Elledges came together out of the Shenandoah Valley into North Carolina. Charity Boone, eldest daughter of Edward (Neddie) Boone and Martha Bryan, was born in October, 1758. She died about the year 1853. Mrs. Spraker in "The Boone Family" says: "Charity Boone married Francis Elledge or Ellege or Willege. They followed their children into Illinois, settling near Winchester, where they both died— he first, and she later, about 1853." It is likely that Francis and Charity lived for a time with some of their children in Old Morgan, now Scott county, coming later in their old age to the home of the son near Griggsville. There is no mention, however, of either of them in records of Old Morgan or in Scott county, erected therefrom in 1839. Francis Elledge and Charity Boone were married in North Carolina in 1778, in the time of the Revolution. They came out to Kentucky with her father, Edward Boone and his family, in a pack train headed by Daniel Boone, in 1779, reaching famous Fort Boonesborough on the Kentucky river on Christmas Day, 1779. During that first winter in Kentucky, they suffered the hardships common to all the settlers in that new land. That winter was the bitterest in 18th century Kentucky history. While the patriots of the Revolution were suffering awful agonies in the huts of Morristown, the settlers of Kentucky faced famine in an inhospitable land. The cold had set in early. Deep snows, crusted on top, filled the wilderness. Game was gaunt with hunger. There was only one consolation, the bitter cold kept the Indians at home. Boone hunted, going far afield, seeking to relieve the suffering. The wolf was at the door of nearly every cabin in Kentucky. Boone divided his corn, to the last few grains, with the newcomers. When spring came, and the sap began to flow, the lean buffaloes came into the sugar camps and could with difficulty be driven away, so starved were they. Amid such privations, Francis and Charity established a home in the Kentucky land. In 1781, Francis and Charity appear to have been at Squire Boone's Station on Brashear Creek; at least there is record of Francis Elledge being wounded in an Indian ambuscade during the retreat of the whites from this station in September that year. Two or three of Francis and Charity's children had then been born. In an early chapter the writer suggested that Francis Elledge and Charity Boone had other children than the eight who were then definitely known. There was considerable evidence that three others associated with the history of the Illinois country derived from the same parentage. A recent discovery of an old record at Maysville in the home of William Riley Willsey, 83-year-old descendant of the Boones, proves that Francis and Charity had in fact 11 children. This record of Charity Boone's children was handed down to Mr. Willsey by a grandson of Mary Elledge Alcorn, daughter of Francis Elledge and Charity Boone and a sister of Benjamin, Boone, James and Jesse Elledge of early Griggsville. This record was written down by Mr. Willsey in an old account book and is as follows: "Francis Elledge born 1749 - Charity Elledge born 1758 - father and mother of Mary Elledge, James Elledge, Benjamin Elledge, Boone Elledge, Patsy Elledge, Nancy Elledge, Edward Elledge, Charity Elledge, William Elledge, Jesse Elledge, Jemima Elledge. Record given me by Cousin Willie Alcorn, son of Uncle Jesse." (Note: Charity, named above, was also known as Sarah, and Jemima, who married William Scholl, was known also as Martha.) Mr. Willsey's mother, Malinda Rogers, was a daughter of David Redmon and Fanny Alcorn Rogers, she being a daughter of Robert (Robin) Alcorn and Mary Elledge. Three of Mary Elledge's sons, William, Benjamin and Jesse Alcorn, were prominent in early Pike county. Much confusion exists among descendants of Charity Boone as to whose daughter she was. Numerous of them were brought up in the belief that she was a daughter of old Daniel, whereas she was the eldest daughter of Daniel's younger brother, Edward. Mr. Willsey is one of Charity Boone's descendants who long believed that he descended directly from the famous Indian fighter. In his old account book, the writer found this entry: "My Grandmother, Fanny Rogers (nee) Alcorn, said to me that her mother was a daughter of Daniel Boone. -W. R. Willsey." Also this entry: "Benjamin Alcorn said Charity (Charity Boone Elledge) was a daughter of old Daniel Boone, the great hunter." Benjamin Alcorn, born in Kentucky in 1814, is buried in the old Shinn cemetery near Summer Hill, which contains also the dust of Pioneer Daniel Shinn. Jesse Alcorn is buried at Griggsville. William's burial place is unknown. In W. R. Willsey's library is a copy of W. H. Bogart's "Daniel Boone and the Hunters of Kentucky." In this book is a picture of Daniel Boone, clad in hunting costume and coonskin cap. Underneath this picture, Mr. Willsey has written: "My Great Great Grandfather." Mr. Willsey states that at a later time he was informed by Jesse Alcorn, who was a younger son of Charity Boone's daughter, Mary, that Charity was a daughter of Edward Boone and a niece of Daniel. Among the Alcorn records is an old woodcut representing the artist's conception of the killing of Edward Boone by the Indians in Kentucky on October 5, 1780. This picture is from an original drawing from the "Life of Daniel Boone," by William F. Cody (Buffalo Bill), published in 1888. It is entitled "The Killing and Scalping of Boone's Brother." It shows six Indians, bedecked with war paint and feathers, three mounted, three on foot, one of them lifting the hair of the fallen Elledge ancestor with his left hand while in the other gleams the scalping knife at the victim's scalp. The scene is a bit of grassy meadow in a Kentucky valley, where Edward and his brother Daniel had paused to graze their horses, Edward falling under the fire of hidden Indians as he sat against a tree cracking hickory nuts on a stone in his lap. Daniel on this occasion escaped the redskins after killing their pursuing dog, described by Edward's Pike county grandson, Edward Boone Scholl, as a "smell hound."" | Elledge, Francis (I31829)

According to a fourteenth-century account from Norton priory, dismissed by James Tait as fictional, he came to England with Earl Hugh (Monasticon, vi. 315, no. iii; J. Tait, ‘The foundation charter of Runcorn (later Norton) priory’, Miscellanea VII, Chetham Soc. 100 (1939), 4–5).
