Biography

"Simon held the Bedford barony for over fifty years, including a nine-year minority. The Beauchamp family clearly had a claim to be hereditary constables of Bedford Castle, but it was not acknowledged as a formality: in 1189/90 Simon had to pay £100 for custody of the castle. From 1194 to 1197 he served as sheriff of Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire, but only after paying 200 marks for the privilege. Simon was succeeded by his son, William." (Ref: ODNB)

The Beauchamp family arms were [much later] quarterly or and gules, a bend gules.

His wife is unknown. He has been detached from Isabel (Wake) Beauchamp (-bef.1295) as she married a later Simon.[1]
Children

1. Sir William de Beauchamp, Lord Bedford, Baron of the Exchequer, Sheriff of Bedfordshire & Buckinghamshire, b. c 1186, d. c 28 Nov 1260 [2]
2. Beatrice de Beauchamp b. c 1189
3. Joan de Beauchamp b. c 1190[3]

Biography

Patent Rolls, 1284:[1]

July 16. Carnarvon.
Grant to Eleanor the king's mother of the custody, during minority of the heirs, of the lands late of Benedict de Blakenham, tenant in chief, together with the wardships, reliefs, escheats, knights' fees, advowsons, dowers; saving to the king the custody and marriage of the heirs.

Douglas Richardson, in an SGM post:[2]

"622. 20 Oct. 1297. Quitclaim in fee from Bennet, son and heir of Bennet de Blakenham, to Hugh de Sancto Philberto and his wife Alice, Bennet's sister, and to Alice's heirs, of his manors of Etone Hasting, Westwell, Thormertone, and Southrop, and the advowsons of the church of Etone Hasting and the chapel of Thormerton, with dower from the said manors when it occurs. Witnesses: Warin de Lisle, Richard de Colleshulle, Geoffrey de Turburwill, John de Lenham, knights, John de Speresholte, Ralph de la Stane, William de Sancto Mauro, William de Raumpayn, Thomas Alewy, Adam de Fauelore, John Cokerel. Braye, Sunday after St. Luke, 25 Edward I." END OF QUOTE. [Reference: Janet H. Stevenson, Edington Cartulary (Wiltshire Rec. Soc. 42) (1987): 159].

VCH Berkshire, concerning Eaton Hastings:[3]

The heir in question was apparently the William de Hastings, who was tenant in about 1240. He died in 1278, leaving a daughter and heir Joan, then the wife of Sir Benedict de Blakenham. (Testa de Nevill (Rec. Com.), 110, 122, 126; Feet of F. Berks. 1 Edw. I, no. 6; Hund. R. (Rec. Com.), i, 15; Chan. Inq. p.m. 6 Edw. I, no. 22; Cal. Fine R. 1272\endash 1307, p. 99.)
In 1297 her son and heir Benedict conveyed the manor, saving the dower of Isabel widow of William de Hastings, to Alice wife of Hugh de St. Philibert, on behalf of her husband, who was in Flanders. (Chan. Inq. p.m. 26 Edw. I, no. 35; De Banco R. 27, m. 93 d.; Cal. Pat. 1292\endash 1301, p. 391.)

The First Crusade

The History of the Crusades, by, Joseph Fr. Michaud, William Robson, and Hamilton W Mabie

"The men of the Vermandois marched with the subjects of Philip under the colours of their count Hugh, a young prince whose brilliant qualities had been much admired by the court."

"Robert, surnamed Courte-heuse, duke of Normandy, who led his vassals to the holy war, was the eldest son of William the Conqueror."

"Another Robert, count of Flanders, placed himself at the head of the Frisons and the Flemings."

"Stephen, count of Blois and Chartres, had also taken up the cross. Stephen, count of Blois and Chartres, had also taken up the cross. He passed for the richest noble of his times. The number of his castles was said to be equal to that of the days of the year. What might be really considered a phenomenon in the eleventh century, this prince loved and cultivated letters. He proved to be the soul of the councils by his eloquence and his intelligence ; but he could not long together support the fatigues of war, and he sometimes was but timid in the field of battle."

"These four chiefs were accompanied by a crowd of knights and nobles, among whom history names Robert of Paris, Evrard of Prusaiè, Achard de Montmerle, Isouard de Muson, Stephen, count d'Albermarle, Walter de St. Valery, Roger de Barneville, Fergant and Conan, two illustrious Bretons, Guis de Trusselle, Miles de Braiës, Raoul de Baugency, Rotrou, son of the count de Perche; Odo, bishop of Bayeux, uncle of the duke of Normandy; Raoul de Gader, Yve and Albéric, sons of Hugh de Grandménil. The greater part of the counts and barons took with them their wives and children, and all their war equipages. They crossed the Alps, and directed their march towards the cities of Italy, with the intention of embarking for Greece. They found in the neighbourhood of Lucca Pope Urban, who gave them his benediction, praised their zeal, and offered up prayers for the success of their enterprize. The count de Vermandois, after having received the standard of the Church from the hands of the sovereign pontiff, repaired to Rome, with the other princes, to visit the tombs of St. Peter and St. Paul."

"The passage of the French Crusaders, however, had awakened the zeal of the Italians. Bohemond, prince of Tarentum, was the first who resolved to associate himself with their fortunes, and to partake of the glory of the holy expedition."

Biography
Name

Judith de Bretagne. [1][2]
Judith de Rennes [3]
Judith of Brittany [4]

982 Birth and Parents

Cawley gives Judith de Bretagne an estimated birth year of 982.[2] By contrast, Baldwin simply states that her date and place of birth are unknown. [1]

Her father was Conan I, [5]d. 27 June 992, count of Rennes, count (princeps) of Brittany.[1] Cawley adds detail that he as Conan I "le Tort", Duke of Brittany

Her mother was Ermengarde, [6] d. aft. 992, daughter of Geoffrey I, count of Anjou. [7]
1000 Marriage

Cawley reports that Judith married, at Mont Saint-Michel, in about 1000, as his first wife, Richard II "le Bon/l'Irascible" Comte de Normandie, son of Richard I "Sans-Peur" Comte de Normandie & his second wife Gunnora, who died 28 Aug 1027. [8]

Baldwin places Judith's marriage within the time period when Richard II and Judith's brother Geoffrey of Brittany were both ruling, thus after 996 (the date of Richard I's death) and before 1008 (the date of Geoffrey's death). Baldwin states that she married Richard II, duke of Normandy, who died d. 23 August 1026, duke of Normandy. [3]

Douglas (1950), 289-291) asserts that the marriage probably took place well before 1008. Richardson also states that Judith married before 1008, as his first wife, Richard II, Duke of Normandy, 996-1026, son and heir of Richard I, Count (or Prince) of the Normans, by his second wife, Gunnor. [4]
1012 Subscription to Charter for Exchange of Land

Cawley reports that an agreement between the abbots of Jumièges and Bougeuil concerning an exchange of land in Poitou, by charter dated 13 Apr/4 Apr 1012, is subscribed by "Richardus…filius Ricardi principi magni…Judith…" [2]
Montevilliers Convent

Judith was a major donor of the convent of Sainte Marie at Montivilliers, which had been founded under the Merovingians and destroyed by vikings in the ninth century. Judith's father-in-law, Duke Richard of Normandy, had wanted to establish a monastery , and the best location, at Fecamp, was already occupied by a convent, so he rebuilt Montevilliers and moved the women there to free up the location at Fecamp for a monastery. [9]
1017 Death

Cawley states that Judith died 16 June 1017; the Chronicle of Caen Saint-Etienne records the death in 1017 of "Judita comitissa" [2] Richardson and Baldwin both give the date as 28 June, 1017[4][10]

Her place of death is unknown, [1] but richardson gives her burial site as Bernai Abbey. [4]
1017 Remarriage of Richard

After Judith's death, Richard married, secondly, probably soon after 1017, Papia. They had two sons, Mauger, Archbishop of Rouen, and Guillaume, Count of Arques. Richard II, Duke of Normandy, died at Fecamp 23 August 1026.[4]
Issue

If the marriage was in the year 1000 and Judith died in 1017, her children would have been born between these dates.

Judith de Rennes [3] and Richard had three sons and three daughters[4]

Adelaide or Adelais "Judith" , born 1000, died 07 Jul after 1030. She married, before 01 Sep 1016, Renaud I de Mâcon, Comte de Bougogne (990 - 03/04 Sep 1057. [11] [4][3]
Richard III, Duke of Normandy[4] was born about 1001. [11] He died in Rouen, [11] 5 or 6 August, 1027. [3]

Biography

Robert de Château-du-Loir is a younger son of Hamon, Seigneur (Lord) de Château-du-Loir and his wife Hildeburg de Bellême.[1] Robert's birth date is unknown, but as his elder brother Gervaise I was born in 1007,[1] Robert may have been born circa 1010-1015. According to Orderic Vitalis, he was known as 'Brochard', which may have been a nickname.[2]
Marriage and children

Robert de Château-du-Loir, married Elisabeth (family name unknown) and had four sons;[3]

Gervaise II, succeeded his uncle Gervaise I as Lord of Château-du-Loir;
Adam de Château-du-Loir, died circa 1095;
Gervaise (the younger) de Château-du-Loir, died after circa 1085 as canon of Saint-Martin d'Angers;
Robert de Château-du-Loir, mentioned 1067-68.

Death

The Necrologe-obituaire de la Cathedral du Mans, confirms that Robert died on 30 June (11 Kalendas Julii - (30 Juin) - Eodem die, obiit Robertus filius Hamonis de Castrolidi)[4] but the year he died is not stated. As it was his son Gervaise II, who succeeded Robert's brother, Gervaise I when he died on 4 July 1067, it is assumed that Robert must have died before that year.[3]
Research notes

In some online genealogies Robert de Château-du-Loir is recorded as having died in Nicaea, in 1035, but this would appear to be confusing him with Robert, Duke of Normandy, the father of William the Conqueror, who died in that year at Nicaea.

Apart from the fact that they are definitely not the same person, chronologically it would be difficult for Robert de Château-du-Loir to have married and had at least 4 children, when he would have only been 20-25 years of age when he died.
