On the 1st of February the Reichs-Tag of Regensburg, Coburg, deputized from Reichs Land-Herrschafft the all local Cantzler Mr. August Carpzov along with the former Altenburg Hoff-Rath Mr. D. Johann Thoma in Gesandschafft, which was the mercy of King Ferdinandi IV. there, after the Anno 1654, on May 7th, the Reich's farewell was publicized, and then left again. Friedrich Juglers Beyträge to the juridical biography or ..., Volume 5 His father, Michael Thoma, was advocate to Leipzig, and the mother a daughter of Jakob Schultes, who receives the memory of his Ramens in some writings. This city, so fertile to scholars, is where Johann Thomä saw the world on 28 August 1624. The premature loss of his parents necessitated the grandmother, the widow of the schoolkids, a very clever woman, to turn every possible care to his upbringing. It gave him "and his brother, the worthy Baker Christian Thomasien," whose biography requires a whole book, different private teachers, who gave guidance to the gay genius to the Greek and Latin languages, to the rhetoric, and to the important truths of philosophy. When this preparation had been made, two brothers were sent to the gymnasium at Gera, where they, besides other ordinary school subjects, wrote their verses in poetry and rhetoric, and also in dispute, and their relative, your Count Reissi, Canzler, Johann Alberti, enjoyed all support. Three years later, they started the academy of studies at Wittenberg under the close supervision of the professor of mathematics, Nicol Pompeius. Here John Thoma did not devote much of his time to antiquities and history, for he knew well how many benefits he would have in learning the rights which he had designated as the most important subject of his Fleet. He also appeared publicly, and defended a political essay with the assistance of the professor, Michael Wendeler. His inclination, however, to undertake a learned journey, and to visit foreign high schools, was opposed by the unfortunate war of that time, for which he had to return to his native town in 1642, after a three-year visit to Wittenberg, where he himself was immediately produced Honorary dissertation. The great jurist and humanist, Johann Strauch, was at that time praised most admirably, and he liked to grant admittance to young students. Thoma was especially the one to whom he bestowed all his confidentiality, to whom he had frequent conversations the straightest path to a thorough erudition. With such growth of new knowledge he came to Jena in 1644, and became tutor of a Saxon von Adel, Herrmann von Wolframsdorf, finally died as Charsächsischer Oberhof-marshal, secret council and district captain of the Leipzig circle, and through the foundation of a joy table Wittenberg for twelve students his memory perpetuated. In Jena, Thoma acquired many patrons, among whom Erasmus Ungepaur was the most respected. The recommendation of the same gave him permission from the law faculty to hold private lectures and disputations. The happier his first attempts were, the more he was moved. At this time, his scholarly efforts found a greater affair, which also drew the attention of the Saxon courtyards. In 1650 they gave him a law professor, as well as a full-time position in the faculty, in the entire Hofgrichte and in Schöppenstuhle. Thoma did not miss any opportunity offered to a righteous academic teacher to fulfill his duties. As he had uncommon gifts for such a post, his oral instruction was demanded by a multitude of young law-goers, whom the lecture-room could scarcely comprehend. Therefore, he used a convenient means to remove obstacles that resisted their desires. He skillfully examined each one's abilities and separated them all into certain classes, making him wealthy enough to satisfy both the weak and the strong. Should not this temple be worth copying today? He also often entered the legal cathedrals with many of his listeners, and under his presidency, in a short time of about four years, made them defend some thirty-three treatises. Nevertheless, the specimens assigned to him did not remain. In the Schöppenstuhle alone he delivered more than three hundred relations and legal interviews. Whether he was already born to be an abbot, the Duke, Friedrich Wilhelm II of Saxe-Altenburg, thought it best to ask him for more important matters from the university. For the first time, this loving prince made him the real councilor of the court, and he had, in spite of all the accusations against it, already moved to Jenner in Altenburg in 1665. The following year, however, opened to him a brilliant scene, in which he was to take part in German Reich business before the eyes of so many sublime statesmen. The Canzler, August Carpzov, lived at the Reichsversammlung in Regensburg as Ducal Ambassador bey. He was assigned to the same, and sent here next to Frankfurt in 1655 at the alida deputation convent, also in 1637 to the Maynzian Elector Johann Philipp. Soon after, the Election Fairs took place, in which King Leopold received the Kaysercrone. Thomä was present so that he might observe the interest of his court, and he met not a few high-ranking persons, whose minds perfectly won his tender and wise bearing. He returned from Frankfurt to Regensburg in 1659, and had the honor of having the first Imperial minister, the Cardinal and Bishop of Hochstists there, give to Franz Wilhelm, Count von Wartenberg, earliest signs of the utmost respect. The end of the same year was the beginning of well-deserved rewards, as the Duke absent-mindedly entrusted to him the dignity of a Consistorial Priest. In 1660 he accepted the yearning at the court of Vienna for his master, whom the Kayser assured after a few years in writing of his gracious affection for the Persondesian ambassador. Meanwhile, Thomä remained at Regensburg until 1668, when he became the successor of the recently deceased Chancellor and secret counselor of Thumshirn at Altenburg. He stood with complete respect for the Lord and country to these respectable offices, to which the Directorate of the High Command Collegium had come, and decided to live for the common good on the year of the year 1679. Those who have given some news of him agree his glory that he had been a man in the art of winding up the most confused state affairs, and to associate an exquisite wisdom with manifold knowledge, especially at the time when the. Altenburgische line extinct and between the houses Gotha and Weimar the Sackeßion because of disagreement arose. Besides the recollection of which he had most devoted himself, his strength in theology made him venerable. He could not hesitate to come among the most profound divines of our church. Now some of his domestic circumstances. In a double marriage different children have been bunked to him. From the first, which he had received with the only daughter of the Reichshofrath, Johann Philipp von Bohn, he saw two daughters. The oldest elected the Saxon Hofrath, Johann Caspar Hendrich, the youngest but the secret Rath, Johann Friedrich Bachov, to the wife. After the death of his lover, Thoma joined the widow of Paul Hornigk, a councilor of Saxony-Naumburg, and ambassador of the Reichstag to Regensburg. Through these he became a father of two sons; but only the youngest, Johann Adam, survived. To his children he left behind two knights, Nauendorf* and Frauenfeis, the scholarly republic but a lot of small writings, which consist almost all in legal disputes. Most of them belong to civil rights, but they are still useful, rare though they may be in many hands. *He received this opened life from the Weimar court. In gratitude he donated to the construction of the church at Bobeck, not far from Bürgel, in the year 1668 a hundred seven and sixty old shock, each of which is counted to 20 gr. | Thomä, Johann (I28497)

| 784 | Amadeus II (c.?1050-26 January 1080) was the Count of Savoy from 1078 to 1080. His life is obscure and few documents mention him. During his reign he was overshadowed by his mother, but he had good relations with the Papacy and, for a time, the Holy Roman Emperor. «b»Before his countship«/b» The second son of Otto, Count of Savoy, and Adelaide, Margravine of Turin, Amadeus II was probably born around 1050, because he, alongside other noblemen of the Kingdom of Burgundy, swore an oath on the tomb of Saint Peter in Rome to defend the Church around 1070-73. In 1074 Pope Gregory VII was trying to persuade William I, Count of Burgundy, to remember this vow and, with Amadeus and others, go to the defence of the Roman Empire in the East against the Seljuk Turks. As his mother is known to have had good relations with the Papacy in these years, this record seems to indicate that Amadeus was following his mother's policies at this early stage in his career. Early in 1077 Amadeus, with his mother and brother Peter, then Count of Savoy, hosted his sister Bertha, and his brother-in-law, Bertha's husband, the Emperor Henry IV. Amadeus and Adelaide then escorted the imperial couple to Canossa so the excommunicated emperor could reconcile with the pope. There they both took part in the negotiations and stood as pledges for the emperor's good faith. On 16 July 1078 Amadeus and Peter witnessed a donation of their mother's to the Abbey of Novalesa. It was the last act of Amadeus and Peter together. «b»As count«/b» On 9 August 1078 Peter died and Amadeus succeeded him as Count of Savoy, but in the March of Turin, where Peter had co-ruled with their mother, Amadeus was never margrave, although the reason for this is unclear. One document, issued by his widowed daughter Adelaide in 1090, refers to him as "count and margrave" (comes et marchio), but it is probably anachronistic. There is only one document from his reign, in the cartulary of Saint-André-le-Bas in Vienne, which is dated when "Count Amadeus was reigning." This shows, by the absence of the regnal year of the emperor, that despite his involvement in the reconciliation at Canossa, Amadeus II was neutral in the wider Investiture Controversy and the wars against Henry IV that it caused in Germany. Amadeus died in Turin on 26 January 1080, according to the necrology of the church of Saint Andrew there. This date must be at least approximately correct, since Adelaide made a monastic donation for the benefit of the souls of her sons Margrave Peter and Count Amadeus on 8 March. «b»Marriage, children and succession «/b» According to the much later Chronicles of Savoy, Amadeus married Joan, daughter of "Girard, Count of Burgundy", who scholars have surmised to have been Count Gerold of Geneva. The Chronicon Altacumbae says only that "the wife of Amadeus [was] from Burgundy", which might refer to Amadeus I. If his wife were Genevan, it would explain how the house of Savoy came to possess so early a large portion of the Genevois. His wife, whatever her name and origins, bore Amadeus II several children, although there is some uncertainty about how many. His confirmed children were: 1.) Adelaide, wife of Manasses II, sire de Coligny 2.) Ausilia (also Auxilia or Usilia), second wife of Humbert II de Beaujeu, whom she bore four sons by the last decade of the eleventh century: Guichard, Humbert, Guigues, and Hugh 3.) Humbert II, his successor as count of Savoy The succession of Amadeus II is unclear. His son Humbert II, who was later Count of Savoy, is well known, but in 1082 the Count of Savoy was Otto II. Although Amadeus is known to have had a younger brother named Otto, he is more likely to have been the Bishop of Asti of this name and time. This has led some scholars, beginning with the Conte di Vesme, to make Otto II the eldest son of Amadeus II, who succeeded him and was in turn succeeded by Humbert II. In the immediate aftermath of Amadeus's death, Adelaide took control of all the Savoyard lands on both sides of the Alps. | de Savoie, Count Amadeus II (I35545)

| 785 | 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] | de Savoie, Count Amadeus III (I25530)
|
| 786 | Amadeus IV (1197 – 11 June 1253)[1] was Count of Savoy from 1233 to 1253. Amadeus was born in Montmélian, Savoy. The legitimate heir of Thomas I of Savoy and Margaret of Geneva, he had however to fight with his brothers for the inheritance of Savoy's lands after their father's death. His brothers Pietro and Aimone spurred a revolt in Aosta Valley against Amadeus, but he was able to crush it with the help of Manfred III of Saluzzo and Boniface II of Montferrat, who were his sons-in-law. Together with his brother, Thomas, he fought against the communes of Turin and Pinerolo, but with uncertain results. He was succeeded by his young son Boniface. Career Head of the family As the eldest son of Thomas I of Savoy, Amadeus inherited the county and associated lands on his father's death in 1233. However, his brothers Peter and Aymon demanded that he divide the territories and give them their share. In July 1234, he and his brother William convened a family meeting at Château de Chillon. While both sides arrived with armed troops, William was able to negotiate a treaty between the brothers. This treaty kept the lands intact, but recognized the authority of the younger brothers within certain regions under Amadeus.[2] These territories were on the frontiers of Savoy lands, designed to encourage the brothers to expand the county rather than diminish it. When his brother Thomas left his career in the church in 1235, Amadeus granted him similar territories.[3] Before he had a son, Amadeus changed his mind many times regarding his will. Initially, he had made his sons-in-law his heirs, but in 1235, he rewrote his will in favour of his brother Thomas. In December of that year, it went back to having his sons-in-law as heirs, until Amadeus was preparing for the siege. Then he rewrote the will in favour of Thomas. In March 1239, his daughters convinced him to return it to their favour. On 4 November 1240, Thomas returned and persuaded him to rewrite the will in his brother's favour again. When Thomas left, once again the will was reversed.[4] His final will was written in 1252, leaving the title and nearly everything to his son, Boniface, and naming his brother Thomas as regent and second in line for the title.[5] Among European powers Amadeus faced many challenges in balancing the demands of the greater powers in Europe at that time. Henry III of England wrote to Amadeus in 1235 to seek his consent and blessing to marry the Count's niece, Eleanor of Provence[6] In 1238, Amadeus went to the court of Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor, in Turin, where he was knighted by the Emperor. Then with his brothers, he led troops as part of the siege of Brescia.[7] In July 1243, Amadeus and his brother Thomas were ordered by Enzo of Sardinia to join him in a siege of Vercelli, which had recently switched allegiances from the Empire to the Pope. Not only was the attack on the city unsuccessful, but Amadeus and his brother were excommunicated for it.[8] When the brothers wrote to the new Pope Innocent IV to appeal the excommunication, he granted their request. In late 1244, when Pope Innocent IV fled from Rome, Amadeus met him in Susa and escorted him through the passes to Chambéry, and then provided his brother Philip as escort for the Pope downriver to Lyon. However, Amadeus was then willing to open the same passes to the imperial army. He also signed a treaty with Henry III on 16 January 1246 which gave rights of passage through the passes to the English in exchange for an annual payment of 200 marks. That same month, Amadeus joined a force which went to Provence to rescue his niece, Beatrice of Provence from the forces of Frederick and escort her to her marriage to Charles of Anjou[9] By May 1247, Frederick was ready to move against the Pope. He had gathered his army in Turin, and ordered those still loyal to him in the kingdoms of Arles and France to meet at Chambéry (the capital of Savoy). However, the revolt of Parma pulled Frederick back from this plan. That same summer, Amadeus blocked an attempt by the Pope to send 1500 soldiers to the Lombard League. On 8 November 1248, Frederick asked Amadeus and his brother Thomas to go to Lyon and start negotiations for peace. However, their efforts were unsuccessful and war continued until the death of Frederick.[10] Family and children He married twice, and each marriage produced children c. 1217,[11] he married Marguerite of Burgundy, daughter of Hugh III, Duke of Burgundy. Beatrice of Savoy (d. 1258), married firstly in 1233 Manfred III of Saluzzo (d. 1244),[12] married secondly on 21 April 1247 Manfred of Sicily Margaret of Savoy (d. 1254), married firstly on 9 December 1235 Boniface II of Montferrat,[13] married secondly Aymar III, Count of Valentinois on 18 Dec 1244, he married Cecilia of Baux, "Passerose", daughter of Barral of Baux[14] Boniface, Count of Savoy Beatrice of Savoy (1250 – 23 February 1292) married Peter of Chalon and Infante Manuel of Castile.

She was the sister of Theodoric the Great, King of the Ostrogoths of Italy, and the wife of Thrasamund, King of the Vandals from 496 to 523. PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB THIS LINE THERE ARE ADDITIONAL RECORDS ATTACHED TO READ ONLY FILES From Wikipedia- Amalafrida was the daughter of Theodemir, king of the Ostrogoths, and his wife Erelieva. She was the sister of Theodoric the Great, and mother of Theodahad, both of whom were kings of the Ostrogoths. In 500, to further cement his authority over the Vandals, Theodoric arranged a marriage alliance with Thrasamund, king of the Vandals, who became Amalfrida's second husband. She brought a very large dowry, but also 5,000 Gothic troops.[1] After her husband Thrasamund's death, his successor Hilderic issued orders for the return of all the Catholic bishops from exile, and Boniface, a strenuous asserter of orthodoxy, bishop of the African Church. In response, Amalfrida headed a party of revolt; she called in the assistance of the Moors, and battle was joined at Capsa, about three hundred miles to the south of the capital, on the edge of the Libyan desert.[2] In 523, Amalafrida's party was beaten, and Hilderic had her arrested and imprisoned in a successful bid to overthrow Ostrogothic hegemony; he also had her Gothic troops killed. She died in prison, exact date unknown.[3] Amalafrida had two children, the aforementioned Theodahad and Amalaberga, who married Hermanfrid, king of the Thuringii. It is not known who the father of these children was. ******************** Foundation for Medieval Genealogy AMALAFRIDA (-murdered [523/25]). Iordanes names "Amalfridam germanam suam [Theoderici]" as the mother of "Theodehadi" and wife of "Africa regi Vandalorum…Thrasamundo"[237]. Emperor Zeno used her as ambassador to her half-brother in 487 to thwart his attack on Constantinople[238]. Her second marriage was arranged by her half-brother, Theodoric King of Italy, as part of his efforts to foster the support of the Vandals. Amalafrida's dowry was Lilybæum in western Sicily[239]. After the death of her husband, she unsuccessfully protested his successor's withdrawal of support from her brother, but she was outmanœuvred and killed[240]. m firstly [HUGO ---] (-before 500).

| 790 | Amlaíb mac Sitriuc From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Amlaíb mac Sitriuc ("Amhlaeibh, son of Sitric") or Olaf Sigtryggsson was the son of Sigtrygg Silkbeard, the Hiberno-Norse King of Dublin, and Sláine, the daughter of Brian Boru. A member of the Uí Ímair dynasty, his ancestors also included Amlaíb Cuarán and Gormflaith, who were influential in medieval Ireland. He was ransomed by the Gaelic lord of Brega and later killed in England by Anglo-Saxons while on his way on pilgrimage to Rome in 1034. Some of his descendants later became the Kings of Gwynedd in Wales. Contents 1 Life 1.1 Family 1.2 Politics 2 Footnotes 3 References Life Family Amlaíb was the son of the ruling King of Dublin, Sigtrygg Silkbeard (d. 1042), and his wife Sláine, daughter of the King of Munster and High King of Ireland, Brian Boru (d. 1014), and his first wife.[1][1][2][3] His paternal grandfather was Amlaíb Cuarán (d. 981), the powerful King of York and of Dublin.[1] Amlaíb Cuarán's wife was Gormflaith (d. 1030), a "beautiful, powerful and intriguing Irish woman" who later married Boru at the same time Sigtrygg married Sláine.[3] Amlaíb had four half-brothers: Artalach (d. 999),[4] Oleif (d. 1013), Godfrey (d. 1036), Glúniairn (d. 1031).[1] Oleif was killed in immediate vengeance for the burning of the Norse city of Cork.[5] Glúniairn was killed by the people of South Brega in 1031.[6] Godfrey was killed in Wales, possibly by a first cousin.[7] Amlaíb was outlived by his half-sister Cellach, who died in 1042 in the same month as her father.[8] Politics In 1027, after the death of Máel Sechlainn in 1022 and the chaos which accompanied the subsequent bids for the High Kingship by the Irish princes, Sigtrygg Silkbeard was forced to make a new alliance with the men of Brega.[9] Amlaíb joined Donnchad of Brega in a raid on Staholmock, County Meath.[10] The army of Sigtrygg and Donnchad was defeated by the men of Meath under their king, Roen Ua Mael Sechlainn.[10][11] Sigtrygg rallied to the fight again, and fought a battle at Lickblaw where Donnchad and Roen were slain.[10][11] In 1029, Amlaíb was taken prisoner by the new lord of Brega, Mathghamhain Ua Riagain, who exacted a ransom of 1200 cows.[2] Further conditions of the agreement necessitated payment of another 140 British horses, 60 ounces of gold and of silver, "the sword of Carlus", the Irish hostages of Leinster and Leath Cuinn, "four hostages to Ua Riagain as a security for peace, and the full value of the life of the third hostage."[2] Added to the total, 80 cows "for word and supplication"[2] were to be paid to the man who entreated for Amlaíb's release.[12] The incident illustrates the importance of ransoming noble captives, as a means of political manipulation, increasing one's own revenues and exhausting the resources of one's foes.[12] The demand of British horses also suggests that Dublin was one of the main ports for importing horses into 11th century Ireland, and that Amlaíb's family may have been personally involved in husbandry.[12] According to the 17th century Annals of the Four Masters, Amlaíb mac Sitriuc "was slain by the Saxons" on his way on a pilgrimage to Rome in 1034.[13] He was survived by one Ragnhild, who was the mother of Gruffudd ap Cynan, from whom the Kings of Gwynedd were descended.[1] Footnotes References Hudson, Benjamin T (2005).

Martin Luther Kibler was born on June 24, 1772 in Luray, Shenandoah County, Virginia. It is now in Page County. His parents were Henry and Mary Kibler. Martin was a farmer and remained in Page County for his entire life. He married Mary Comer on May 8, 1794. Mary was born in Frederick County, Virginia in 1772. Her parents were Johann Martin and Magdalene Gaumer. They made their life on a 300 acre farm, given to him by his parents, on Pass Run, three miles from Sandy Hook and three and a half miles from Luray. They were Lutheran. Martin and Mary's children included: Jacob Kibler (1795), Vincent Kibler (1797), Philip Kibler (1799), Catherine Kibler Skelton (1801), Susanna Kibler Shenk (1802), David Kibler (1803), Isaac Kibler (1807), and William Kibler (1809). Mary died in 1816. Dorothy (Dolly) Rickard (Richard?) was Martin's second wife. They married April 4, 1817. Dorothy was born on October 15, 1792. Her parents were Benjamin Rickard and Margaret Packert.

| 795 | Anabella Drummond (c. 1350–1401) was the queen consort of Scotland by marriage to Robert III of Scotland. She was the daughter of Sir John Drummond, of Stobhall, near Perth, 11th Thane of Lennox and Chief of Clan Drummond, and Mary Montifex, eldest daughter and co-heiress of Sir William de Montifex, Justiciar of Scotland. It has been erroneous postulated that her father was the same John Drummond that was a brother to Margaret Drummond, Queen of Scotland but as this does not align with any historical dates, the latter John was probably a close ancestor. She married John Stewart (the future Robert III of Scotland) in 1367. Soon, she was enveloped in a power struggle with her husband's brother, Robert. Since Anabella and John did have two daughters, but no sons for several years, he was a supporter of a law that would bar women from inheriting the throne. Queen Anabella was crowned with Robert at Scone Palace when he came to the throne in 1390. She continued bearing children until she was past forty and had her last child, the future James I of Scotland, in 1394. King Robert, an invalid since 1384 due to an accident with a horse, grew increasingly despondent and incompetent throughout his reign and was not capable to govern. During this time he is said to have said to her that he should be buried in a dung heap with the epitaph "Here lies the worst of kings and the most miserable of men". Because the king was not able to rule, Anabella was prompted to manage state affairs as de facto ruler. The chronicles of Scotland generally praise queen Anabella and her conduct as queen. Protecting the interests of her oldest son, David, she arranged a great tournament in 1398 in Edinburgh, where her oldest son was knighted. In April of that year she also called a council where he was created Duke of Rothesay and Lieutenant of the Realm in the same year. Shortly after his mother's death he would be imprisoned by his uncle and died in mysterious circumstances. David was described as debauched, self-indulgent and erratic, and the Duke of Albany did not have to fight hard to control him. The Fife burgh of Inverkeithing was a favorite residence of the queen. Her presence is still recalled in the sandstone font, decorated with angels and heraldry, which she presented to the parish church of the town, one of Scotland's finest surviving pieces of late medieval sculpture. Anabella died in Scone Palace in October 1401, and was buried at her birthplace of Dunfermline. With the loss of her protection, her eldest son David would become the prey of his uncle, Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, dying shortly after Jul 1394; Anabella's youngest child, James Stewart, was born in July 1394 when Anabella was likely 44.

| 798 | Ancient Wales Studies- The casual student of early Welsh History will recognize this man, sometimes called Maelgwn Hir, as a powerful 6th century ruler of Gwynedd. He was one of 5 contemporary rulers singled out for scorn by Gildas in his c. 540 The Ruin of Britain. Much has been written about him by later men, some probably accurate but much clearly fables. Leaving aside the preachy condemnation directed at him by Gildas, he tells us several specific things about his life[1]: a. As a youth, he "dispatched his uncle the king with sword and spear". b. Soon afterward, he repented his wickedness and entered a monastery, vowing to remain a monk forever. c. Later, he violated that oath and returned to his evil ways. d. After leaving the monastery, he took a wife. e. After enjoying his wife "for some little time", he spurned her and sought another. f. The object of his affections was a young lady already married to his nephew. g. To have that lady, he killed her husband and his own lawful wife. To learn who this Maelgwn was, we must turn to the early pedigree manuscripts...none written before c. 970. Here, we learn that he was a son of Cadwallon Lawhir ap Einion Urdd ap Cunedda[2]. His mother was Meddyf ferch Maeldaf ap Dylan Traws of Nant Conwy[3]. His father had cleared the last of the Irish squatters from the island of Anglesey[4], a task begun by Cadwallon's grandfather, father and uncles about 435/440AD. Cadwallon had an elder brother, Owain Ddantgwyn[5], who seems to have succeeded their father as king of Gwynedd. Marriages cited for Maelgwn include an unknown Gwallen ferch Affleth[6]; while she was the mother of his eldest son, Rhun, most sources say she was merely a mistress of young Maelgwn, but the boy was acknowledged by his father and became his heir[7]. Maelgwn did marry a lady named Nest ferch Samuel Penisel ap Pappo ap Ceneu ap Coel Hen[8], by whom he had a son Einion[9] and a daughter Eurgain. The other lady cited as his wife was Sanan ferch Cyngen Glodrydd[10], a sister of Brochwel Ysgithrog of Powys. The "king, his uncle" whom Maelgwn slew in his youth is nowhere named. Gildas referred to him as "avunculus" or "mother's brother", so this seems to rule out Owain Ddantgwyn... his father's brother. Thus, the deposed king must have been a son of Maeldaf ap Dylan Traws of Nant Conwy[11]. We suggest some of the men Gildas called "kings" were merely rulers of appanages of larger kingships[12]. This man likely ruled Nant Conway, a part of Gwynedd subject to its king. Likewise, Cadwallon Lawhir ruled only Anglesey (and possibly Arfon) while his brother was overall king of Gwynedd[13]. Since Gildas first took notice of Maelgwn when he was in his youth, i.e. early 20's, we should describe his world as he might have seen it in the period AD500-505. The battle of Baden had recently defeated the main Saxon army and Wales was no longer threatened by outside invaders. It is quite likely that Maelgwn, and his cousins, had been among Arthur's warriors at Baden. His father and uncle were in their 50's, probably still capable of leading a warband to defend their own lands, but a bit old to be active on the battlefield far from home. Flush with victory in his first campaign, Maelgwn may have chafed under the constraints imposed back home. He would not step into his father's shoes until Cadwallon Lawhir either died or retired to a monastery in his old age, but he had a following of noble youths that had fought with him; they saw him as a born leader and powerful warrior and gladly joined him in an attempt to unseat the neighboring ruler in Nant Conwy. The coup was successful, his mother's brother fell to their swords and spears as the band of youths despoiled his lands, taking loot and young maidens. Maelgwn took over the Lord's manor and took to his bed a young lady, Gwallwen ferch Afallach. It was about the year 505 when she bore a son, Rhun, whom Maelgwn saw as a mirror image of himself (and indeed the boy did grow up to be taller and stronger than the average man). In seeking to identify this lady, we note that Maelgwn's mother would have been born c. 465 and her brother perhaps c. 460. A daughter of that brother would have occurred c. 490 and thus be of child-bearing age in 505. The timeline is wholly consistent with identifying the slain Lord of Nant Conwy as Afallach ap Maeldaf and Gwallwen as his daughter. We further suggest that family was among the descendants of Eudaf Hen who had ruled Gwynedd prior to the arrival of Cunedda. Dylan Traws fits as a younger son of Tudwal ap Turmwr Morfawr ap Gaedon ap Cynan ap Eudaf Hen, and may have received the Lordship of Nant Conwy when his brother, Cynfawr, succeeded to the overall kingship. Probably never his intent to rule these conquered lands to the benefit of their occupants, he and his rowdy group of friends simply took what they wanted from the people of Nant Conway. We suggest these people appealed to the clergy to assist them in their woes, and asked St. Illtud to intercede with Maelgwn. Illtud was then the most respected bishop in Wales[14], a first-cousin of Arthur[15] and probably maternally related to Maelgwn[APPENDIX I]. Early writers identify Illtud (born c. 460/465) as the "teacher" of Maelgwn, so we think he is the holy man who convinced Maelgwn to renounce his selfish and evil past and enter a monastery to train for a peaceful life as a spiritual leader. Maelgwn was wholly won over and Illtud promised to see that the infant Rhun was cared for and raised to be a fine man of whom a father could be proud. After some few years as a monk, during which time he ministered to the weak and poor and comforted the ill, and indeed led an exemplary life, his father finally died near age 65. When it became evident that other male kinfolks were prepared to assume rule over his own paternal lands, Maelgwn renounced his vows and left the monastery. He returned to become Lord of Anglesey, was reunited with his young son, and took a wife. Gildas called this marriage "illegal", but we aren't sure if he meant Maelgwn already had a "wife" in the eyes of the church...the mother of Rhun...or he meant Maelgwn had taken the celibacy oath of a monk. We suggest this wife was Nest, a lady about 10 years younger than himself. Maelgwn was now about 35 years old, so Nest likely was a 25 year old widow or divorcee. By this lady, Maelgwn had a son Einion and a daughter Eurgain, probably in the years 516/520. We suggest he did not emerge from the monastary and immediately resume the evil ways of his youth. But an event around the year 525 changed him forever; he was selected to be the interim king of all Gwynedd. His cousin, the king of Gwynedd, had fallen in battle that year...a man in his mid-40's[16]. The king's eldest son was but a teenager so the leading men of the realm gathered to select an interim king to rule until the legal heir came of his full age. There were several eligible candidates, but it was Maelgwn who received the nod[17]. He moved from Anglesey to occupy the royal manor at Degannwy, and all the trappings of power went to his head. Becoming as ruthless as when a youth, but with all the authority and power of kingship, Maelgwn indeed returned to iniquities "like a sick dog returns to his vomit". Disdaining his wife, now in her 30's, he became enamored of a much younger lady whom we would identify as the 16 year old wife of his own nephew[18]...Sanan ferch Cyngen Glodrydd. Unable to induce the lady to leave her husband and come to his bed, he killed that man leaving her a widow. Apparently his wife Nest objected to having the younger woman take her place in Maelgwn's bed, so she too was slain. Maelgwn was a man near age 41 at the time he wed the pretty teenage widow. By the account of Gildas, he went downhill from there so far as decency and honor were concerned. It is known, however, that he made many generous gifts and landgrants to various churches throughout Wales. Whether these were proof that he had a strong spiritual nature, or were simply bribes he offered the holy men to offset the offenses he committed against them and his fellow men, is anyone's guess. But his heady ride as the most powerful man in north Wales ended, we suggest, about 545. The rightful heir was now of full age and the "regency" of Maelgwn was declared over. Nearing age 65, Maelgwn reverted to simply Lord of Anglesey. Rather than accept this demotion, he installed his son Rhun, now about 40, in his manor of Afferfraw and retired back to monastic life. He was still there in 547 when the ''yellow plague" swept over Gwynedd, and he died as he sought shelter from it in the nearby church[19]. | ap Cadwallon, King Maelgwyn Hir (I33622)

| 800 | André I st Vitre (born in 1054 and died circa 1135 ) is a baron Vitre about 1072 to his death, more than sixty years of reign. «b»Biography «/b» André I st dom Vitre is the eldest son of Robert I st and one of its two namesake wife Berthe Garin girl Craon or Berthe. He succeeded his father around 1072 and married to 1091 Agnes, lady of Ryes in Normandy, daughter of Robert de Mortain. According to Pierre Le Baud, this marriage was concluded after a war between André I st to count of Mortain. In exchange for the release of the Norman count, Andre also receives six seigneuries in Cornwall, including the rich Triggshire. According to Louis Du Bois, the Baron de Vitré allegedly participated in a war with (or against) Alain Fergent, Duke of Brittanyin 1112, which would have pushed the sovereign to abdicate in favor of his son, Conan III. André I st recognizes without difficulty the authority of Duke Alain Fergent and his successor Conan III. In 1116 he handed over, in the presence of the latter, the Notre-Dame de Vitré church to the abbey of Saint-Melaine. In 1119 he attended Rennes with his son Robert at the funeral of Duke Alain Fergent. According to Arthur of the Borderie "in 1132, Conan III was master of Vitre, and it exercised authority over natural lord of this land baron André I st. We do not know the reason for the conflict". It seems nevertheless that André became again baron soon after, since he died as a baron, in Vitré , in 1135. He is buried in the chapter of the church of Notre-Dame de Vitré. His son, Robert II, succeeded him but due, in turn, to be expelled from his stronghold by the Duke of Brittany from 1135. «b»Union and posterity «/b» From his marriage with Agnès de Mortain (also named Agnès de Morlaix), were born: 1.)
