• House: Ottonian
• Life Event: Henry the Fowler (German: Heinrich der Vogler or Heinrich der Finkler; Latin: Henricus Auceps) (aprox. 876 – 2 July 936) was the Duke of Saxony from 912[1] and the King of East Francia from 919 until his death in 936. As the first non-Frankish king of East Francia, he established the Ottonian dynasty of kings and emperors, and he is generally considered to be the founder of the medieval German state, known until then as East Francia. An avid hunter, he obtained the epithet \"the Fowler\" because he was allegedly fixing his birding nets when messengers arrived to inform him that he was to be king. He was born into the Liudolfing line of Saxon dukes. His father Otto I of Saxony died in 912 and was succeeded by Henry. The new duke launched a rebellion against the king of East Francia, Conrad I of Germany, over the rights to lands in the Duchy of Thuringia. They reconciled in 915 and on his deathbed in 918, Conrad recommended Henry as the next king, considering the duke the only one who could hold the kingdom together in the face of internal revolts and external Magyar raids. Henry was elected and crowned king in 919. He went on to defeat the rebellious dukes of Bavaria and Swabia, consolidating his rule. Through successful warfare and a dynastic marriage, Henry acquired Lotharingia as a vassal in 925. Unlike his Carolingian predecessors, Henry did not seek to create a centralized monarchy, ruling through federated autonomous stem duchies instead. Henry built an extensive system of fortifications and mobile heavy cavalry across Germany to neutralize the Magyar threat and in 933 routed them at the Battle of Riade, ending Magyar attacks for the next 21 years and giving rise to a sense of German nationhood. Henry greatly expanded German hegemony in Europe with his defeat of the Slavs in 929 at the Battle of Lenzen along the Elbe river, by compelling the submission of Duke Wenceslaus I of Bohemia through an invasion of the Duchy of Bohemia the same year and by conquering Danish realms in Schleswig in 934. Henry\'s hegemonic status north of the Alps was acknowledged by the kings Rudolph of West Francia and Rudolph II of Upper Burgundy, who both accepted a place of subordination as allies in 935. Henry planned an expedition to Rome to be crowned emperor by the pope, but the design was thwarted by his death. Henry prevented a collapse of royal power, as had happened in West Francia, and left a much stronger kingdom to his successor Otto I He was buried at Quedlinburg Abbey, established by his wife Matilda in his honour. Born in Memleben, in what is now Saxony-Anhalt, Henry was the son of Otto the Illustrious, Duke of Saxony, and his wife Hedwiga, who was probably the daughter of Henry of Franconia. In 906 he married Hatheburg of Merseburg, daughter of the Saxon count Erwin. She had previously been a nun. The marriage was annulled in 909 because her vows as a nun were deemed by the church to remain valid. She had already given birth to Henry\'s son Thankmar. The annulment placed a question mark over Thankmar\'s legitimacy. Later that year he married Matilda, daughter of Dietrich of Ringelheim, Count in Westphalia. Matilda bore him three sons, one called Otto, and two daughters, Hedwig and Gerberga, and founded many religious institutions, including the Quedlinburg Abbey where Henry is buried. She was later canonized. As the first Saxon king of East Francia, Henry was the founder of the Ottonian dynasty. He and his descendants ruled East Francia, and later the Holy Roman Empire, from 919 until 1024. Henry had two wives and at least six children: With Hatheburg: - Thankmar (908–938)[2] – rebelled against his half-brother Otto and was killed in battle in 938 With Matilda: - Hedwig (910–965) – wife of West Francia\'s powerful Robertian duke Hugh the Great, mother of Hugh Capet, King of West Francia - Otto I (912–973) – Duke of Saxony, King of East Francia and Holy Roman Emperor. In 929 Henry married Otto to Eadgyth, daughter of Edward the Elder, King of Wessex - Gerberga (913–984) – wife of (1) Duke Gilbert of Lotharingia and (2) King Louis IV of France - Henry I (919–955) – Duke of Bavaria - Bruno (925–965) – Archbishop of Cologne and Duke of Lotharingia and regent of West Francia. Henry became Duke of Saxony after his father\'s death in 912. An able ruler, he continued to strengthen the position of his duchy within the weakening kingdom of East Francia, and was frequently in conflict with his neighbors to the South in the Duchy of Franconia. On 23 December 918 Conrad I, king of East Francia and Franconian duke, died. Although Henry had rebelled against Conrad I between 912 and 915 over the lands in Thuringia, Conrad recommended Henry as his successor. Kingship now changed from the Franks to the Saxons, who had suffered greatly during the conquests of Charlemagne and were proud of their identity. Henry, as Saxon, was the first non-Frank on the throne. Conrad\'s choice was conveyed by his brother, duke Eberhard III of Franconia at the Imperial Diet of Fritzlar in 919. The assembled Franconian and Saxon nobles elected Henry to be king with other regional dukes not participating in the election. Archbishop Heriger of Mainz offered to anoint Henry according to the usual ceremony, but he refused – the only king of his time not to undergo that rite – allegedly because he wished to be king not by the church\'s but by the people\'s acclaim. Henry, who was elected to kingship by only the Saxons and Franconians at Fritzlar, had to subdue the other dukes. Duke Burchard II of Swabia soon swore fealty to the new king, but when he died, Henry appointed a noble from Franconia to be the new duke. Duke Arnulf of Bavaria, lord over a realm of impressive extent, with de facto powers of a king and at times even named so in documents, proved a much harder nut to crack. He would not submit until Henry defeated him in two campaigns in 921. In Bavaria Duke Arnulf declared himself king in 919. Henry besieged Arnulf\'s residence at Ratisbon and forced the duke into submission. In 921 Arnulf renounced the crown and submitted to Henry while maintaining significant autonomy and the right to mint his own coins. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_the_Fowler

Oda of Metz was a German noblewoman. SHE WAS THE DAUGHTER OF Gerhard I of Metz (9CD1-KW4). HER MOTHER, ODA OF SAXONY (LB2S-623), was a daughter of Otto I Duke of Saxony and thus a member of the Liudolfings.

In 930, Oda married Gozlin, Count of Bidgau and Methingau, who gained fame as military commander for his brother, Adalberon I of Metz. Because she outlived her husband by twenty years, she was head of the household and ran the estate and lands until their children had reached adulthood.

They had the following children:

~ Reginar, count of Bastogne (d. 18 Apr 963)
~ Henry (d. 6 Sep 1000)
~ Godfrey (935/940 – 3 Sep 995/1002), count of Verdun[1]

Notes:

"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.

Gerberga married of the West Franks, King Louis IV in 939 in France. Louis (son of de France, Charles and of Wessex, Eadgifu) was born on 10 Sep 921 in Laon, Aisne, Picardie, France; died on 10 Sep 954 in Reims, Marne, Champagne-Ardenne, France; was buried after 10 Sep 954 in Abbey of Saint-Remi, Reims, Marne, Champagne-Ardenne, France.

Gerberga married de Lorraine, Gilbert in 928. Gilbert was born in 880 in Rheims, Marne, Champagne-Ardenne, France; died on 2 Oct 939 in Andernach, Mayen-Koblenz, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany; was buried after 2 Oct 939 in Andernach, Mayen-Koblenz, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Matilda of France - member of the Carolingian dynasty.

Daughter of King Louis IV of France (920/921–954), ruler of West Francia, and his wife, Gerberga of Saxony (d. about 984), sister of the East Frankish king Otto I. At the time of her birth, Carolingian rule had already weakened: King Louis attempted to stabilize his reign by marrying an East Frankish princess, while he fought with the reluctant dukes of Normandy and with the forces of his Robertian rival Hugh the Great.

When Matilda's brother, 13-year-old Lothair ascended the French throne in 954, Gerberga acted as regent.

In 964 Matilda was married to Conrad, the Welf ruler of the Kingdom of Burgundy, who strongly relied on the support of Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor, Matilda's maternal uncle and husband of Conrad's sister Adelaide. As her dowry, the young queen brought her husband the city of Vienne, which her brother Lothair had ceded to her.

Matilda was outlived by her husband, she probably died after 981. She is buried in Vienne Cathedral

Biography
Son of the I st Count Otto-William and Adelaide Ermentrude Rheims and Roucy (daughter of Renaud of Roucy, count of Reims and Lord of Roucy and Albérade of Hainault, daughter of the Duke Gislebert of Lorraine and Gerberge of Saxony ). Adelaide de Reims was the heiress of the county of Mâcon by his first marriage with Aubry II of Mâcon (982 ).

995: at the age of 20, his father combines the elder brother of Renaud de Bourgogne Guy I st Macon , born in 975, to power the county of Burgundy and the county of Macon , for his succession.

1002: 27 years old, Guy I st Macon becomes Count of Macon.

1004: Guy I st Macon died at the age of 29. His son Otton II of Mâcon succeeds him as Count of Mâcon. Otte-Guillaume shares his lands: his son Renaud receives the counties of Amous, Varais and Portois; Otton, his grandson receives Mâconnais and Escuens. Otte-Guillaume retains his rights over the counties of Frankish Burgundy (Beaumont, Fouvent and Oscheret). The Counts of Burgundy will for a long time retain many lands or suzerainties on counties located in the Duchy of Burgundy.

1016: Renaud married Adélaïde de Normandie (1002-1038), daughter of Duke Richard II of Normandy and Judith of Brittany.

1026: Renaud I st Burgundy succeeds, October 21, 1026, at the age of 40, under the Count of Burgundy , his father dies, and his brother Guy died.

1027: Renaud I st of Burgundy is at war against the bishop count of Auxerre, Hugh of Chalon. This one makes him prisoner with Auxerre. Renaud I st is liberated by troops sent by his stepfather and led by the future Duke Richard III of Normandy.

1032: Rodolphe III of Burgundy (last king of Burgundy) dies without posterity, on September 6, 1032. He had designated his cousin the Germanic emperor Conrad II the Salic as heir. His nephew Eudes II de Blois , son of his elder sister Bertha of Burgundy, raised against Conrad the Salic, the revolt of the feudal lords and prelates of the kingdom of Burgundy. The war of succession of Burgundy (1032-1034) and started is supported by Renaud I st of Burgundy, Count Gerold II Geneva, Archbishop of Vienna, the Bishop of Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, as well as Archbishop of Lyon, Burchard II, bastard son of Conrad the Pacific and half-brother of Rodolphe III of Burgundy.

In front of them, Conrad the Salique has the support of Héribert, Archbishop of Milan, Marquis Boniface III of Tuscany, Ermengarde, widow of Rodolphe III, and Humbert de Maurienne, former advisor and vassal of Rodolphe III today, better known as Humbert to the White Hands.

Eudes II of Blois is crowned king of Burgundy in Lausanne, by his partisans, but in January 1033, the emperor is also crowned in Basel.

The revolt fails and the kingdom of Burgundy must remain in the empire. In order to escape the imperial armies, Renaud de Bourgogne retires to Dijon, ducal Burgundy where he has retained many supports.

1034: the German Emperor Conrad II takes possession of the kingdom of Burgundy (actually the county of Burgundy) and receives the 1 st August , the homage of his new vassals in Geneva.

Conrad II vassalizes the county of Burgundy over many generations, to the detriment of the Duchy of Burgundy and the Kingdom of France.

Renaud I st of Burgundy became count palatine (Pfalzgraf) of Burgundy, gave way in the German imperial administration, to those who are responsible for administering land and to administer justice in the name of the emperor. His successors will continue to wear this title.

The emperor then granted a certain frank autonomy and the right to self-administer by his own government to the county of Burgundy. The Archbishop of Besançon is appointed Chancellor and has been widely awarded for his total and very devoted collaboration.

1043: Henry III comes in Besancon, to become engaged to Agnes of Aquitaine , niece of Renaud I st of Burgundy, and daughter of the Duke of Aquitaine, William V Poitiers. On this occasion, the Archbishop of Besancon, Hugues I er de Salins, gets royal rights over the city of Besançon (legal, political, fiscal and economic). He is appointed prince of the Germanic Empire (maximum rank before emperor) and reigns supreme over the city, with the emperor and the pope Gregory VII for only superiors. It escapes the power of the Counts of Burgundy.

1044: Henry III continues to favor those who have supported his father. He gives the city of Montbeliard to Count Louis de Mousson. Renaud I st Burgundy revolt against the Emperor again, allied to the Count Gerold Geneva. He besieged the castle of Montbeliard, but Count Louis defeated their troops and thus maintains the independence of Montbéliard vis-à-vis the county of Burgundy. The two counts submit the following year to the emperor.

1057: in September, Count Renaud disappears at the age of 71 years. His son Guillaume (1057-1087), succeeds him. He had already been associated with county decisions for several years, and was in charge of the county of Burgundy in the absence of his father.

DE VENOIS.
From Venoix near Caen, Normandy. The barons of Venoix,Verbois or Venois held their fief as hereditary marshals of the stable (master of the horse) of the dukes of Normandy, hence they bore the name of le Marescal or Mareschal of Venois. Milo le Mareschal and Lasceline his wife, were living in 1050, when the duchess Matilda purchased lands at Vancelles from them for Holy Trinity at Caen.
They had issue:
. Ralph le Mareschal and other sons, who came to England at the conquest.
. Robert of Hastings
. Geoffrey the Marshall

Ralph was living in 1086 and had issue:
. Robert,
. Roger le Mareschal, who had lands in Essex,
. Gerald, owner of estates in Sussex, and
. Goisfred, a baron in Hampshire and Wiltshire in 1086 (Domesday). Goisfred was the father of Gilbert ancestor of the Mareschals.

Robert the eldest son, sometimes styled Fitz Ralph, de Hastings, and le Mareschal, was lord of Venoix and the king's sheriff or seneschal at Hastings, where, and at Rye, his descendants long held the revenue in farm from the crown. He had issue William de Hastings who c. 1100 married Juliana, granddaughter and heir of Waleran, a great baron in Essex, living in 1130. With Robert de Venoix his brother, he instituted a suit against his cousin, Gilbert Marescal and his son John, to recover the office of hereditary marshal, which Gilbert or Goisfrid his father had obtained and successfully held, although it could not have been theirs by right of birth. The suit failed, but William in compensation was created dapifer. Hence the celebrated and renowned family of Hastings, who married into the royalty of England and were so famous in history. From this line descended the Hastings, barons of Abergavenny, the marquesses of Hastings, the earls of Pembroke, and earls of Striguil in Ireland, as well as the earls of Huntingdon. This latter great branch of the family still exists in the male line which was ennobled in the person of sir William Hastings, created baron Hastings of Ashby-de-la-Zouch, by king Edward IV, in 1461, under which title he was summoned to parliament. He was one of the most powerful persons in the kingdom and erected at Ashby a magnificent castle, where afterwards Mary queen of Scots was kept in captivity. He possessed tremendous estates, the honours of Pevrel, Belvoir Hagenet, and Huntingdon, the lands of viscount Beaumont, Belvoir castle, with a great part of the possessions of lord Ros, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, which had belonged to the earls of Wiltshire, the castle and rape of Hastings. He was invested with many high offices; was ambassador to France, chamberlain to North Wales, constable of six castles and many more honours, too numerous to mention. Upon the death of king Edward IV, his greatness came to a sudden end, as he was lured to the tower of London by the new protector, Richard, duke of Gloucester, and beheaded forthwith in 1483.

“JUDITH OF LENS, born about 1054. She married after January 1070 WALTHEOF, Earl of Northumberland, lord of Potton, Bedfordshire, Waltharnstow, Essex, Conington, Leighton Bromswold, Little Catford, and Sawtry, Huntingdonshire, Barnack, East Farndon, Fotheringay, Harringworth, and Lilford, Northamptonshire, etc., son and heir of Siward, Earl of Northumberland, by Ælfflaed, daughter of Earl Ealdred. They had two daughters, Maud [Queen of Scotland] and Alice. He was still young at the death of his father in 1055. He was active against the Norman in the northern counties and especially at York in 1069. In 1070 he made his peace with King William the Conqueror. He occurs as one of the witnesses to King William's charter to Wells dated 1068. He was present at the marriage of Ralph de Wader at Exning, Cambridgeshire, where the guests entered into a conspiracy against the king. In this he was to some slight extent implicated, but acting on the advise of Archbishop Lanfranc, he crossed over to Normandy to the king, and disclosed the matter to him. The conspiracy having been crushed, the king kept Waltheof with him. But he was accused by his wife, Judith, of more than a mere knowledge of the plot. After a year's deliberation, during which he was imprisoned at Winchester, Waltheof was executed at Winchester, Hampshire 31 May 1075 (or 1076). Two weeks afterwards the king allowed his body to be removed to Croyland Abbey, Lincolnshire, where the abbot buried him in the chapterhouse; his remains were subsequently translated into the church near the altar. At an unknown date, Judith was granted the manor of Elstow, Bedfordshire by her uncle, King William the Conqueror. Sometime prior to 1086, she founded a nunnery at Elstow and endowed it with the vill. She was living in 1086, and presumably died about 1090.

Judith was a niece of William the Conqueror. She was a daughter of his sister Adelaide of Normandy, Countess of Aumale and Lambert II, Count of Lens.
In 1070, Judith married Earl Waltheof of Huntingdon and Northumbria. They had three children. Their eldest daughter, Maud, brought the earldom of Huntingdon to her second husband, David I of Scotland. Their daughter, Adelise, married Raoul III de Conches whose sister, Godehilde, married Baldwin I of Jerusalem.

In 1075, Waltheof joined the Revolt of the Earls against William. It was the last serious act of resistance against the Norman conquest of England. Judith betrayed Waltheof to her uncle, who had Waltheof beheaded on 31 May 1076. After Waltheof's execution Judith was betrothed by William to Simon I of St. Liz, 1st Earl of Northampton. Judith refused to marry Simon and she fled the country to avoid William's anger. William then temporarily confiscated all of Judith's English estates. Simon, later, married, as his second wife, Judith's daughter, Maud, as her first husband.
Judith founded Elstow Abbey in Bedfordshire around 1078. She also founded churches at Kempston and Hitchin.
She had land-holdings in 10 counties in the Midlands and East Anglia. Her holdings included land at:
• Earls Barton, Northamptonshire
• Great Doddington, Northamptonshire
• Grendon, Northamptonshire
• Merton, Oxfordshire
• Piddington, Oxfordshire
• Potton, Bedfordshire

. In 1070, Judith married Earl Waltheof of Huntingdon and Northumbria. They had three children - Maud de Lens aka Matilda (1074-1130), Judith (1075-1137) and Adelese aka Alice (c1075/6-1126). Their eldest daughter, Maud, brought the earldom of Huntingdon to her second husband, David I of Scotland. Their daughter, Adelise, married Raoul III de Conches whose sister, Godehilde, married Baldwin I of Jerusalem.

In 1075, Waltheof joined the Revolt of the Earls against William. It was the last serious act of resistance against the Norman conquest of England. Some sources claim that Judith betrayed Waltheof to the bishop of Winchester, who informed her uncle, the king. Other sources say that Waltheof was innocent and that it was he who notified the bishop and king of the plot. Waltheof was beheaded on 31 May 1076 at St. Giles Hill, near Winchester.

After Waltheof's execution, Judith was betrothed by William to Simon I of St. Liz, 1st Earl of Northampton by her uncle, William. Judith refused to marry Simon and fled the country to avoid William's anger. He then (temporarily) confiscated all Judith's English estates. Simon married Judith's daughter, Maud, in or before 1090.
The parish of Sawtry Judith in Huntingdonshire is named after the Countess

Judith married Siwardsson, Waltheof of Northumbria in 1070.

"This Gersende / Gundrade is said to be the mother of Etienne II de Blois, who marries Adèle de Normandie (Adèle de Blois), daughter of William the Conqueror, hence the succession of the Counts of Champagne, Blois and Sancerre, as well as the lords of Sully (and the kings of England during the reign of Stephen). However this thesis is controversial, because the reason for the repudiation of Gersende in 1048 seems to be the fact that she did not give a 'child to her husband. Étienne II de Blois, according to this hypothesis, would therefore rather come from the second marriage of Thibaud III. "

Étienne married de Normandie, Adèle in 1080 in Chartres, Eure-et-Loir, Centre, France.

Notes:

ROBERT I d'ESTOUTEVILLE of Etoutteville, Seine-Maritime, France arr. Yvetot, cant. Yerville and Cottingham, Yorkshire, England. Robert, nicknamed "Grandbois," was included in the list of Knights who accompanied their Duke GUILLAUME to conquer England in 1066. He was a Crusader in 1097.

The Estoutevilles were a great seigneurial family whose senior line was based at Vallemont in the Caux district of eastern Normandy. They claimed descent from a legendary Viking ancestor, Stoot (or Estout) the Dane. Robert I d’Estouteville participated in the Norman conquest of England, and his several sons by a second, Saxon, wife produced the English Stutevill families.

In 1086, the estates of Hugh fitzBaldric, Domesday lord of Cottingham, were divided after his death and the bulk of his lands in Yorkshire passed to Robert I de Stuteville. However, by 1105, Robert was a supporter of Robert III Duke of Normandy and Robert Curthose. He was captured at the battle of Tinchebrai in 1106 after which he was condemned to be imprisoned for life.

Robert I d'Estouteville died in 1066 of starvation in an English prison (exact location unknown).

His lands were subsequently granted to Nigel d'Aubigny from whom they descended to Roger de Mowbray. His son and heir, Robert II de Stuteville, did not hold lands in England and it was not until the reign of Stephen that Robert III, son and heir of Robert II, recovered Cottingham.

He was a benefactor of St Mary's abbey, York, Durham priory and the church at Lincoln. An entry in the Liber Vitae makes mention of himself, his wife Beatrice (whose parentage is unknown) and sons Robert II, Gradulf and William. He was also father of Emma, second wife of Robert fitz-Hugh de Grandmesnil, whose six children are named in the Durham Liber Vitae.

Judith betrayed Waltheof to her uncle, who had Waltheof beheaded on 31 May 1076. After Waltheof's execution Judith was betrothed by William to Simon I of St. Liz, 1st Earl of Northampton. Judith refused to marry Simon and she fled the country to avoid William's anger. William then temporarily confiscated all of Judith's English estates. Simon, later, married, as his second wife, Judith's daughter, Maud, as her first husband.
Judith founded Elstow Abbey in Bedfordshire around 1078. She also founded churches at Kempston and Hitchin.
She had land-holdings in 10 counties in the Midlands and East Anglia. Her holdings included land at:
• Earls Barton, Northamptonshire
• Great Doddington, Northamptonshire
• Grendon, Northamptonshire
• Merton, Oxfordshire
• Piddington, Oxfordshire
• Potton, Bedfordshire

. In 1070, Judith married Earl Waltheof of Huntingdon and Northumbria. They had three children - Maud de Lens aka Matilda (1074-1130), Judith (1075-1137) and Adelese aka Alice (c1075/6-1126). Their eldest daughter, Maud, brought the earldom of Huntingdon to her second husband, David I of Scotland. Their daughter, Adelise, married Raoul III de Conches whose sister, Godehilde, married Baldwin I of Jerusalem.

In 1075, Waltheof joined the Revolt of the Earls against William. It was the last serious act of resistance against the Norman conquest of England. Some sources claim that Judith betrayed Waltheof to the bishop of Winchester, who informed her uncle, the king. Other sources say that Waltheof was innocent and that it was he who notified the bishop and king of the plot. Waltheof was beheaded on 31 May 1076 at St. Giles Hill, near Winchester.

After Waltheof's execution, Judith was betrothed by William to Simon I of St. Liz, 1st Earl of Northampton by her uncle, William. Judith refused to marry Simon and fled the country to avoid William's anger. He then (temporarily) confiscated all Judith's English estates. Simon married Judith's daughter, Maud, in or before 1090.
The parish of Sawtry Judith in Huntingdonshire is named after the Countess

Judith married Siwardsson, Waltheof of Northumbria in 1070. Waltheof (son of Digri, Siward Earl of Northumbria and of Bamburgh, Ælfflæd) was born in 1050 in Wallsend, Northumberland, England; died on 31 May 1076 in St Giles Hill, Hampshire, England; was buried after 31 May 1076 in Crowland Abbey, Crowland, Lincolnshire, England.

Notes:

Maud, or Matilda, was the queen consort of King David I of Scotland. She was the great-niece of William the Conqueror and the granddaughter of Siward, Earl of Northumbria. Her parents were Waltheof, the Anglo-Saxon Earl of Huntingdon and Northampton, and his Norman wife Judith of Lens. Her father was the last of the major Anglo-Saxon earls to remain powerful after the Norman conquest of England in 1066. Her mother was William the Conqueror's niece. Through her ancestors, the Counts of Boulogne, Maud also was a descendant of Alfred the Great and Charles the Bald, and a cousin of Godfrey of Bouillon.

Maud married Simon de Senlis (or St Liz) in about 1090. Earlier, her great-uncle William the Conqueror had tried to get Maud's mother, Judith, to marry Simon. Simon received the honour of Huntingdon (whose lands stretched across much of eastern England) probably in right of his wife from William Rufus before the end of the year 1090. Maud and Simon had three known children: Matilda of St Liz (Maud), who married first, Robert Fitz Richard of Tonbridge, and second, Saer De Quincy; Simon of St Liz; and Saint Waltheof of Melrose.

Maud's first husband Simon died sometime after 1111, and Maud next married David, the brother-in-law of Henry I of England, in 1113. Through this marriage, David gained control over Maud's vast estates in England to add to his own lands in Cumbria and Strathclyde. David and Maud had four children (two sons and two daughters): Malcolm, who died young; Henry; Claricia, who never married; and Hodierna, who also never married.

In 1124, David became King of Scots. Maud's two sons by different fathers, Simon and Henry, would later vie for the Earldom of Huntingdon.

Maud died in 1130 or 1131 and was buried at Scone Abbey in Perthshire, but she appears in a charter of dubious origin dated 1147.

Maud of Huntingdon appears as a character in Elizabeth Chadwick's novel "The Winter Mantle" (2003), as well as Alan Moore's novel "Voice of the Fire" (1995) and Nigel Tranter's novel "David the Prince" (1980).

Matilda married of Scotland, King David I in 1113 in Scotland. David (son of of Scotland, Malcolm III and Aetheling, Queen of Scotland and Saint Margaret) was born on 31 Dec 1080 in Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland; was christened in 1124 in Scotland; died on 24 May 1153 in Carlisle, Cumberland, England; was buried on 24 May 1153 in Dunfermline Abbey, Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland.

Matilda married de Senlis, Earl Simon in 1087. Simon (son of de Senlis, Lord Laudri and de Senlis, Ermengarde) was born in 1068 in Normandy, France; died in 1111 in La Charité, Nièvre, Bourgogne, France; was buried in 1111 in La Prieuré de La Charité-sur-Loire, Nièvre, Bourgogne, France.

Notes:

William de Blois (William the Simple) was Count of Blois and Count of Chartres from 1102 to 1107, and Count of Sully. He was the eldest son of Stephen-Henry, Count of Blois and Adela of Normandy, daughter of William the Conqueror and Matilda of Flanders.

He was the older brother of Theobald II, Count of Champagne, King Stephen of England and Henry, Bishop of Winchester.

William was the eldest legitimate male heir of William the Conqueror, after the death of Henry I, but he was not considered as a candidate for the English crown.

William was at first groomed to inherit the comptal throne, and was designated count shortly before his father's departure on his second crusade in 1102. Many historians believed William had a mental deficient, but this has never been substantiated. His mother found him obstreperous and unfit for wide ranging comptal duties. He did once assault and threaten to kill the Bishop of Chartres over a jurisdictional dispute. So, when her second son Theobald came of age, around 1107, Adela elevated him to the position of count of Blois-Chartres, and William retired to his wife's lands in Sully.

In 1104, William married Agnes of Sully, the heiress to the lordship of Sully-sur-Loire, a woman of admirable beauty attached to the court of William's mother. The marriage of William and Agnes was a happy one and several children were born.

Their children included:
Margaret (c. 1105 - 1145). She married Henry, Count of Eu, Lord of Hastings, about 1122.
Henry de Sully, Abbot of Fécamp (d. 1189)

Notes:

Amadeus III of Savoy (1095 – April 1148) was Count of Savoy and Maurienne from 1103 until his death. He was also known as a crusader.[1]

Biography
He was born in Carignano, Piedmont, the son of Humbert II of Savoy and Gisela of Burgundy, the daughter of William I of Burgundy. He succeeded as count of Savoy upon the death of his father.[1] Amadeus had a tendency to exaggerate his titles, and also claimed to be Duke of Lombardy, Duke of Burgundy, Duke of Chablais, and vicar of the Holy Roman Empire, the latter of which had been given to his father by Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor.

He helped restore the Abbey of St. Maurice of Agaune, in which the former kings of Burgundy had been crowned, and of which he himself was abbot until 1147. He also founded the Abbey of St. Sulpicius in Bugey, Tamié Abbey in the Bauges, and Hautecombe Abbey on the Lac du Bourget.

In 1128, Amadeus extended his realm, known as the "Old Chablais", by adding to it the region extending from the Arve to the Dranse d'Abondance, which came to be called the "New Chablais" with its capital at Saint-Maurice. Despite his marriage to Mahaut, he still fought against his brother-in-law Guy, who was killed at the Battle of Montmélian. Following this, King Louis VI of France, married to Amadeus' sister Adélaide de Maurienne, attempted to confiscate Savoy. Amadeus was saved by the intercession of Peter the Hermit, and by his promise to participate in Louis' planned crusade.

Crusade
In 1147, he accompanied his nephew Louis VII of France and his wife Eleanor of Aquitaine on the Second Crusade.[2] He financed his expedition with help from a loan from the Abbey of St. Maurice. In his retinue were many barons from Savoy, including the lords of Faucigny, Seyssel, La Chambre, Miolans, Montbel, Thoire, Montmayeur, Vienne, Viry, La Palude, Blonay, Chevron-Villette, Chignin, and Châtillon. Amadeus travelled south through Italy to Brindisi, where he crossed over to Durazzo, and marched east along the Via Egnatia to meet Louis at Constantinople in late 1147. After crossing into Anatolia, Amadeus, who was leading the vanguard, became separated from Louis near Laodicea, and Louis' forces were almost entirely destroyed.

Marching on to Adalia, Louis, Amadeus, and other barons decided to continue to Antioch by ship. On the journey, Amadeus fell ill on Cyprus, and died at Nicosia in April 1148.[3] He was buried in the Church of St. Croix in Nicosia. In Savoy, his son Humbert III succeeded him, under the regency of bishop Amadeus of Lausanne.[4]

Family and children
With his first wife Adelaide, he had:[5]

Adelaide married Humbert III of Beaujeu[5]
In 1123 he married Matilda of Albon,[5] daughter of Guigues III of Albon, they had:

Matilda (1125–1158), married king Afonso I of Portugal[5]
Agnes (1125–1172), married William I, Count of Geneva[5]
Humbert III (1135–1188)[5]
John
Peter
William
Margaret (died 1157), founded and joined the nunnery Bons in Bugey[5]
Isabella
Juliana (died 1194), abbess of St. André-le-Haut[5]

Amadeus married of Albon, Matilda in 1123. Matilda was born in 1105 in Albon, Ardèche, Rhône-Alpes, France; died in 1145 in Nicosia, Nicosia, Cyprus. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

The posts on the Stutevilles have generated a few private queries about the main English line. So for those interested, here is what is known of the Stutevilles of Cottingham, derived mainly from C.T.Clay, Early Yorkshire Charters, v.9.

In 1276 and 1282 surveys compiled of the Cottingham estate revealed that it consisted of a capital messuage of a manor, with a double ditch around the court, surrounded by a wall, with a garden, dovecote, fishery, 1455 acres of arable land, 433 acres of meadow, 364 acres of pastures, a park with a circuit of 4 leagues, in which the game were estimated at 500 wild beasts, four woods, three water mills and one wind mill. In addition there were 74 free tenants paying rent, 92 bondsmen and 137 cottars. Three advowsons belonged to the manor - the church of Cottingham worth 200 marcs p.a, the church of Roule worth 100 marcs and the church of Etton at 50 marcs p.a. The total value per annum of the estate was estimated at L435 2s 3d.

1. ROBERT I de Stuteville of Etoutteville, Seine-Maritime, arr. Yvetot, cant. Yerville and Cottingham, Yorks. He was amongst those granted the lands forfeited by Hugh fitz Baldric in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire soon after 1087 but lost them owing to his support of Robert Curthose, and was captured at the battle of Tinchebrai in 1106 after which he was condemned to be imprisoned for life. The lands were subsequently granted to Nigel d'Aubigny from whom they descended to Roger de Mowbray, but partially recovered by Robert I's grandson, Robert III de Stuteville. He was a benefactor of Durham and an entry in the Liber Vitae makes mention of himself, his wife Beatrice (whose parentage is unknown) and sons Robert, Gradulf and William. In a claim made by his great grandson William, he was described as Robert Grandboeuf. He was also father of Emma, second wife of Robert fitz Hugh de Grandmesnil whose six children are named in the Durham Liber Vitae. Benefactor of St Mary's abbey, York, Durham priory and the church at Lincoln.

Issue:
- Robert II. See below
- Gradulf
- William
- Emma. Married to Robert Grandmesnil.
