| 353 | Eustace I, count of Boulogne, was a son of Count Baldwin II of Boulogne and Adelina of Holland. He held the county from 1046 until his death in 1049. Family and children He was married to Matilda of Leuven, daughter of Lambert I, Count of Leuven and Gerberga of Lower Lorraine and had three children: Eustace II of Boulogne Lambert II, Count of Lens Gerberga, married Frederick, Duke of Lower Lorraine Eustace I, count of Boulogne, He held the county from 1042 until his death in 1049. Life He was the elder son of Count Baldwin II of Boulogne and Adelina of Holland. Eustace succeeded his father as count of Boulogne in 1042. Eustace I was also the count of Lens. In 1028 Eustace I confirmed the foundation of a college of canons in his castle at Lens and despite accounts of Lens passing to Baldin V of Flanders circa 1036 it was still held by Eustace I and was passed to his son Lambert at his death. During the minority of Baldwin IV, Count of Flanders, Eustace’s grandfather, Arnulf III, Count of Boulogne had broken free of Flanders and operated as an independent prince, as did Eustace’s father and Eustace himself. In 995, having attained his majority, Baldwin IV attempted to recover several of the independently held castles and to expand the Flemish borders. This had caused considerable animosity between Baldwin IV, Count of Flanders and Eustace's father, but when Baldwin IV's son Baldwin V succeeded him in 1035 Eustace I and Baldwin V of Flanders cooperated on several ventures including several charters and in limiting the powers of the Castellan-advocates of several abbeys including the Abbey of Saint Bertin in Flanders. Eustace I was allied to the ducal house of Normandy by the marriage of his son Eustace II to Goda, niece of Richard II. This had far reaching alliances to other branches of these families including that of Edward the Confessor, King of England. Under Eustace I the counts of Boulogne rose to great prominence in Northern France. Eustace I died in 1049. He was apparently a patron of Samer Abbey near Calais and he is said to have been buried there. Family and children He was married to Matilda of Leuven (a descendant of Charlemagne), daughter of Lambert I, Count of Leuven and Gerberga of Lower Lorraine and had four children: Eustace II of Boulogne. Godfrey, Bishop of Paris (1061-1095). Lambert II, Count of Lens. Gerberga, married Frederick, Duke of Lower Lorraine. | Eustace I Count of Boulogne (I3279)

| 354 | Eustace II, Comte de Boulogne was the son of Eustace I, Comte de Boulogne and Maud de Louvain. He married Ida de Basse-Lorraine, daughter of Godefroi III Herzog von Niederlothringen and Beatrix de Haute-Lorraine, in December 1057. He died circa 1080. Eustace II, (c. 1015-1020 - c. 1087), also known as Eustace aux Gernons (with moustaches) was Count of Boulogne from 1049-1087. He fought on the Norman side at the Battle of Hastings, and afterwards received large grants of land forming an honour in England. He is one of the few proven Companions of William the Conqueror. It has been suggested that Eustace was the patron of the Bayeux Tapestry. Origins He was the son of Eustace I of Boulogne. Marriage & progeny Eustace married twice: Firstly to Goda, daughter of the English king Æthelred the Unready, and sister of Edward the Confessor. Goda died circa 1047. Secondly in about 1049, soon after Goda' death, he married Ida of Lorraine, daughter of Godfrey III, Duke of Lower Lorraine. By her Eustace had three sons: Eustace III, Count of Boulogne Godfrey of Bouillon, King of Jerusalem Baldwin I of Jerusalem, King of Jerusalem Career In 1048 Eustace joined his father-in-law's rebellion against the Emperor Henry III. The next year Eustace was excommunicated by Pope Leo IX for marrying within the prohibited degree of kinship. Eustace and Ida were both descended from Louis II of France, and just within the prohibited seventh degree. However, since today not all their ancestors are known, there may have existed a closer relationship. The Pope's action was possibly at the behest of Henry III. The rebellion failed, and in 1049 Eustace and Godfrey submitted to Henry III. Eustace visited England in 1051, and was received with honour at the court of Edward the Confessor. Edward and Eustace were former brothers-in-law and remained political allies. On the other side of the political divide the dominant figure in England was Earl Godwin, who had recently married his son Tostig to the daughter of Eustace's rival the Count of Flanders. Furthermore Godwin's son Sweyn Godwinson had been feuding with Eustace's stepson Ralph the Timid. A brawl in which Eustace and his servants became involved with the citizens of Dover led to a serious quarrel between the king and Godwin. The latter, to whose jurisdiction the men of Dover were subject, refused to punish them. His lack of respect to those in authority became the excuse for his being outlawed together with his family. They left England, but returned the next year in 1052 with a large army, aided by the Flemish. In 1052 William of Talou rebelled against his nephew Duke William of Normandy. Eustace may well have been involved in this rebellion, although there is no specific evidence, for after William of Talou's surrender he fled to the Boulonnais court. The following years saw still further advances by Eustace's rivals and enemies. Count Baldwin of Flanders consolidated his hold over territories he had annexed to the east. In 1060 he became tutor of his nephew King Philip I of France. In contrast Eustace's stepson Walter of Mantes failed in his attempt to claim the County of Maine. He was captured by the Normans and died soon afterwards in mysterious circumstances. Fights at Battle of Hastings These events evidently caused a shift in Eustace's political allegiances, for he then became an important participant in the Norman conquest of England in 1066. He fought at Hastings, although sources vary regarding the details of his conduct during the battle. The contemporary chronicler William of Poitiers wrote concerning him: "With a harsh voice he (Duke William) called to Eustace of Boulogne, who with 50 knights was turning in flight and was about to give the signal for retreat. This man came up to the Duke and said in his ear that he ought to retire since he would court death if he went forward. But at the very moment when he uttered the words Eustace was struck between the shoulders with such force that blood gushed out from his mouth and nose and half dead he only made his escape with the aid of his followers". The depiction in the Bayeux Tapestry shows a knight carring a banner who rides up to Duke William and points excitedly with his finger towards the rear of the Norman advance. William turns his head and lifts up his visor to show his knights following him that he is still alive and determined to fight on. This conforms therefore with Eustace having somewhat lost his nerve and having urged the Duke to retreat whilst the Battle was at its height with the outcome still uncertain. Other sources suggest that Eustace was present with William at the Malfosse incident in the immediate aftermath of the battle, where a Saxon feigning death leapt up and attacked him, and was presumably cut down before he could reach William. Eustace received large land grants afterwards, which suggests he contributed in other ways as well, perhaps by providing ships. Rebellion In the following year, probably because he was dissatisfied with his share of the spoil, he assisted the Kentishmen in an attempt to seize Dover Castle. The conspiracy failed, and Eustace was sentenced to forfeit his English fiefs. Subsequently he was reconciled to the Conqueror, who restored a portion of the confiscated lands. Death Eustace died circa 1087, and was succeeded by his son, Eustace III. | Eustace II Count of Boulogne (I3754)

| 355 | Eve de Bermingham, suo jure Lady of Offaly (died between June 1223/December 1226), was a Norman-Irish heiress, being the only child of Robert de Bermingham who was enfeoffed by Strongbow with part of the kingdom of Ui Failghe. This fief became the barony of Offaly which she as the suo jure heiress, passed on to her first husband, Gerald FitzMaurice, who by right of his wife was created the 1st Lord of Offaly. She had a total of three husbands. Marriages and issue Eve was born on an unknown date, the only daughter and suo jure heiress of Robert de Bermingham, a Norman, who arrived in Ireland with the Cambro-Norman forces of Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, known to history as "Strongbow". De Bermingham was enfeoffed by Strongbow with part of the kingdom of Ui Failghe, which became the barony of Offaly. Eve's mother's name and identity is not known. Sometime about 1193, she married her first husband, Gerald FitzMaurice, the second eldest son of Maurice FitzGerald, Lord of Lanstephan and Alice de Montgomery. He became the 1st Lord of Offaly by right of marriage to her. Together they had one recorded son: Maurice FitzGerald, 2nd Lord of Offaly (1194- 20 May 1257), Justiciar of Ireland, married Juliana N. N., by whom he had four sons. Gerald FitzMaurice died on 15 January 1204, and was succeeded by their son and heir, Maurice. Sometime later Eve married her second husband, Geoffrey FitzRobert, Seneschal of Leinster. When he died in 1211, she took a third husband, Geoffrey de Marisco (du Marais), who held the office of Justiciar of Ireland from 1215 to 1221. Her son Maurice would later hold the office from 1232 to 1245. By her third husband, she had at least one son: Robert de Marisco, married Christiana de Ridelsford, by whom he had a daughter, Christiana de Marisco (1234-1312). The latter was the wife of Ebulo of Geneva, and a lady-in-waiting in the household of Eleanor of Provence, Queen consort of King Henry III of England. It is not known whether Geoffrey's daughter, Joan du Marais, first wife of Theobald le Botiller, was Eve's daughter, or his daughter by an earlier, unrecorded marriage. The female succession in the de Bermingham fee, as well as Eve's multiple marriages, slowed down the Anglo-Norman advance in the former kingdom of Ui Failghe. Death Eve de Bermingham died in Ireland between June 1223 and December 1226. | de Bermingham, Eve Lady of Offaly (I5852)

| 356 | Eve Marshal was the daughter of William Marshal and Isabella de Clare, Countess of Pembroke. Eva Marshal (1203 - 1246) was a Cambro-Norman noblewoman and the wife of the powerful Marcher lord William de Braose. She was the daughter of William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke, and the granddaughter of Strongbow and Aoife of Leinster. She held de Braose lands and castles in her own right following the public hanging of her husband by the orders of Llywelyn the Great, Prince of Wales. Family and marriage Lady Eva was born in 1203, in Pembroke Castle, Pembrokeshire, Wales, the fifth daughter and tenth child of William Marshal, 1st Earl of Pembroke and Isabel de Clare, 4th Countess of Pembroke. Her paternal grandparents were John Marshal and Sibyl of Salisbury, and her maternal grandparents were Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke, known to history as Strongbow and Aoife of Leinster, for whom she was probably named. Lady Eva was the youngest of ten children, having had five older brothers and four older sisters. Eva and her sisters were described as being handsome, high-spirited girls. From 1207 to 1212, Eva and her family lived in Ireland. Sometime before 1221, she married Marcher lord William de Braose, who in June 1228 succeeded to the lordship of Abergavenny, and by whom she had four daughters. William was the son of Reginald de Braose and his first wife Grecia Briwere. He was much hated by the Welsh who called him Gwilym Ddu or Black William. Issue Isabella de Braose (b.1222), married Prince Dafydd ap Llywelyn. She died childless. Maud de Braose (1224 - 1301), in 1247, she married Roger Mortimer, 1st Baron Wigmore, by whom she had issue, including Edmund Mortimer, 2nd Baron Mortimer and Isabella Mortimer, Countess of Arundel. Eve de Braose (1227 - 28 July 1255), married William de Cantelou, by whom she had issue. Eleanor de Braose (c.1228 - 1251). On an unknown date after August 1241, she married Humphrey de Bohun. They had two sons, Humphrey de Bohun, 3rd Earl of Hereford and Gilbert de Bohun, and one daughter, Alianore de Bohun. All three children married and had issue. Eleanor was buried in Llanthony Secunda Priory. Widowhood Eva's husband was publicly hanged by Llywelyn the Great, Prince of Wales on 2 May 1230 after being discovered in the Prince's bedchamber together with his wife Joan, Lady of Wales. Several months later, Eva's eldest daughter Isabella married the Prince's son, Dafydd ap Llywelyn, as their marriage contract had been signed prior to William de Braose's death. Prince Llywelyn wrote to Eva shortly after the execution, offering his apologies, explaining that he had been forced to order the hanging due to the insistence by the Welsh lords. He concluded his letter by adding that he hoped the execution would not affect their business dealings. Following her husband's execution, Eva held de Braose lands and castles in her own right. She is listed as holder of Totnes in 1230, which she held until her death. It is recorded on the Close Rolls (1234-1237) that Eva was granted 12 marks by King Henry III of England to strengthen Hay Castle. She had gained custody of Hay as part of her dower. In early 1234, Eve was caught up in her brother Richard's rebellion against King Henry and possibly acted as one of the arbitrators between the King and her mutinous brothers following Richard's murder in Ireland. This is evidenced by the safe conduct she received in May 1234, thus enabling her to speak with the King. By the end of that month, she had a writ from King Henry granting her seisen of castles and lands he had confiscated from her following her brother's revolt. Eva also received a formal statement from the King declaring that she was back in "his good graces again". She died in 1246 at the age of forty-three. Royal descendants Most notably through her daughter Maud, who married Roger Mortimer, she was the ancestress of the English kings: Edward IV, Edward V, Richard III, and all monarchs from Henry VIII onwards. She was also the ancestress of Queen consorts Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Catherine Howard, and Catherine Parr by three of her four daughters; Eleanor, Maud, and Eva de Braose. | Marshal, Eve (I2210)

| 357 | Everard de Ros was the lord of Hamlake and seems to have been very wealthy, as in 1176 he paid the then large sum of five hundred and twenty-six pounds as a fine for his lands, and other large amounts subsequently. He was the son of Robert de Ros and Sybil de Valoines. Everard de Ros married Rose Trusbut. They had a child, Robert de Ros, a Magna Carta surety. | de Ros, Everard Baron of Helmsley (I2196)

| 359 | Eystein 'the Noisy' Glumra, Jarl of the Uplanders was born in 788. He gained the title of Jarl of the Uplanders. Eystein Glumra (the Clatterer), also called Eystein Ivarsson (born ca. 830 in Nord-Trøndelag, Norway) was Jarl (Earl) of Oppland and Hedmark in Norway. The Heimskringla Saga states that Eystein Glumra is the father of Rognvald Eysteinsson and Sigurd Eysteinsson. And, that he was grandfather of Guthorm Sigurdsson and Torf-Einarr. Although the Saga does mention a few Ivars, none are said to be Eystein's father. Descendents of Rognvald include Rollo, William the Conqueror and the resulting Royal Families of England. The first earl in the Orkney Islands was called Sigurd, who was a son of Eystein Glumra, and brother of Ragnvald earl of More. After Sigurd, his son Guthorm was earl for one year. After him Torf-Einar, a son of Ragnvald, took the earldom, and was long earl, and was a man of great power. According to the Orkneyinga Saga, Eystein the noisy was the son of Ivar the Uplanders’ earl, and grandson of Halfdan the Old. He was also father of Rognvald The Wise. Heiti, Gorr’s son, was father of Sveiði the sea-king, the father of Halfdan the old, the father of Ivar the Uplanders’ earl, the father of Eystein the noisy, the father of earl Rognvald the mighty and the wise in council. | Glumra, Eystein 'the Noisy' Jarl of the Uplanders (I1895)

| 374 | Floris I of Holland (born in Vlaardingen - killed June 28, 1061 in Gelderland, Netherlands) was Count of Holland (which was called Frisia at that time) from 1049 to 1061. He was a son of Dirk III and Othelindis. He succeeded his brother Dirk IV, Count of Holland, who was murdered in 1049. He was involved in a war of a few Lotharingian vassals against the imperial authority. On a retreat from Zaltbommel he was ambushed and killed in battle at Nederhemert (called Hamerth at the time), on 28 June 1061. Family and children He married ca. 1050 Princess Gertrude of Saxony, daughter of Bernard II, Duke of Saxony and Eilika of Schweinfurt, and had at least three children by her: Dirk V (c. 1052, Vlaardingen-17 June 1091). Bertha (c. 1055-1094, Montreuil-sur-Mer), who married Philip I of France in 1072. Floris (b. c. 1055), a canon at Liége. Gertrude married secondly in 1063 Robert the Frisian, Count of Flanders, who also acted as guardian for the children of her previous marriage and as regent for his stepson until 1071. | Floris I Count of Holland (I5313)
|
| 375 | Floris II, Count of Holland (or Floris the Fat) (reigned 1091 - March 2, 1121) was the first from the native dynasty of Holland to be called Count of Holland. He was the son of his predecessor Dirk V and Othilde. Floris II ended the conflict with the Bishop of Utrecht (which he inherited from his father, and should be seen in light of the power struggle between the Pope and the Holy Roman Emperor), most likely by becoming his vassal. In 1101 he was endowed with the title of Count of Holland by the bishop of Utrecht, after acquiring Rhineland (Leiden and surroundings) ('comes de Hollant', up until that time the counts' dominion had been officially referred to as Frisia). Around 1108, Floris II married Gertrude, the daughter of Theodoric II, Duke of Lorraine. Gertrude changed her name to Petronila (which is derived from Peter), in recognition of her loyalty to the Holy See. Petronila and Floris II had four children, three boys and one girl: Dirk, Floris, Simon and Hedwig, respectively. Dirk became his successor, Dirk VI of Holland, while Floris became known as Floris the Black and contested his brother's power. | Floris II Count of Holland (I5311)
|
| 376 | Floris III of Holland (1141 - August 1, 1190), Count of Holland from 1157 to 1190. He was a son of Dirk VI and Sophia of Rheineck, heiress of Bentheim. Life On September 28, 1162, he married Ada, sister of king William I of Scotland, also known as William the Lion. The county of Holland adopted from him the rampant lion in the coat of arms and the name of William. Floris III was a loyal vassal to Frederick I Barbarossa. He accompanied the emperor on two expeditions to Italy in 1158 and 1176-1178. Frederick thanked him by making Floris part of the imperial nobility. The emperor gave Floris the toll right of Geervliet, the most important toll station in Holland at that time. This was actually the legalisation of an existing situation, because the counts of Holland had charged tolls illegally since the start of the 11th century. Many farmers came to Holland to turn the swamps into agricultural lands. Dikes and dams were built and the border between Holland and the bishopric of Utrecht had to be determined. There was a dispute between Floris and the bishop of Utrecht about a new dam in the Rhine at Zwammerdam in 1165, which had to be settled by emperor Frederick. The brother of Floris, Baldwin became bishop of Utrecht in 1178. War broke out between Flanders and Holland. Count Philip of Flanders wanted to have Zeeland. Floris was captured in Brugge and had to accept Flemish overlordship in Zeeland as ransom in 1167. During his reign Floris III had troubles with West Friesland and a war with Philip count of Flanders concerning their respective rights in West Zeeland, in which he was beaten. In 1170 a great flood caused immense devastation in the north and helped to form the Zuider Zee. In 1189 Floris accompanied Frederick Barbarossa upon the third Crusade, of which he was a distinguished leader. He died in 1190 at Antioch of pestilence and was buried there. Two sons of Floris III became Count of Holland: Dirk VII in 1190 and William I in 1203. Family and children He married 28 August 1162 Ada of Huntingdon, daughter of Henry of Scotland, 3rd Earl of Huntingdon and Ada de Warenne. Their children were: Ada (died after 1205), married 1176 Margrave Otto I of Brandenburg. Margaret (died after 1203), married 1182 Count Dietrich IV of Cleves. Dirk VII, Count of Holland. William I, Count of Holland. Floris (died 1210), bishop of Glasgow. Baldwin (died 1204). Robert Beatrix Elisabeth Hedwig Agnes (died 1228), Abbess at Rijnsburg. | Floris III Count of Holland (I5309)
|
| 377 | Floris IV (24 June 1210 The Hague-19 July 1234, Corbie, France), Count of Holland from 1222 to 1234. He was a son of William I of Holland and his first wife, Adelaide of Guelders. Floris IV succeeded his father in 1222. His regent was Baldwin of Bentheim. He acquired the Land of Altena. He had constant disputes with the bishop of Utrecht, Otto of Lippe, but helped him against the peasants of Drenthe in 1227. Floris was a real knight, who went on crusade against the Stedingers north of Bremen in 1234. On 19 July 1234, he died at a French tournament held in Corbie, France. Family and children He married before 6 December 1224 Matilde of Brabant, daughter of Duke Henry I of Brabant and Mathilde of Flanders also referred to as Maud of Boulogne and Alsace. Their children were: William II, Count of Holland (1227-1256). Floris de Voogd (ca. 1228-1258), Regent of Holland in 1256-1258. Adelaide of Holland (ca. 1230-1284), married, in Frankfurt am Main in 1246, Jean I of Avesnes, Count of Hainaut. Their descendants eventually inherited Holland. She was Regent of Holland in 1258-1263. Margaret (d. 1277), married c. 1249 to Count Herman I of Henneberg. Mechtild | Floris IV Count of Holland (I5306)

| 378 | Founder Garter Knight John de Grey, 1st Baron Grey de Rotherfield, KG (29 October 1300 - September 1359) was an English soldier and courtier. John Grey of Rotherfield was one of the founder members of the Most Noble Order of the Garter. He is often confused with John Grey of Codnor, who bore the same coat of arms (Barry argent and azure). By December 1349, John was Lord Steward of the Royal Household of King Edward III. He distinguished himself well in the Scotch and French wars. He was summoned to parliament many times from 1338 to 1357, and is thus regarded as having become Baron Grey of Rotherfield. John was the son and heir of Sir John Grey, by Margaret only daughter and coheir of William de Odingsells. He married firstly, shortly before 1313, Katherine Fitzalan, daughter and coheir of Bryan FitzAlan, Lord FitzAlan of Bedale, Yorkshire. He married secondly Avice, daughter of John, 2nd Lord Marmion. | de Grey, John 1st Baron Grey de Rotherfield (I5228)

| 382 | Frederick Nicholson DOWLEY was baptised on 17 May 1829 at St Mary’s Church, Broadwater (which was then the parish that included the developing seaside hamlet of Worthing). His parents are described in the records as James DOWLEY (‘Gentleman’) and Harriet. The DOWLEYs must have remained in Worthing for a while, as evidenced by Frederick Nicholson’s brother James Edward DOWLEY getting married to a Harriet Frances CLEMENTS on 27 March 1830 at St Mary’s Church, Broadwater.

| 386 | Fulco III d'Anjou, 5th Comte d'Anjou also went by the nick-name of Fulk 'the Black'. Fulk III (972 - 21 June 1040), called Nerra (that is, le Noir, "the Black") after his death, was Count of Anjou from 21 July 987 to his death. Life He was the son of Geoffrey Greymantle and Adele of Meaux. He was less than seventeen years old when his father died and Fulk came to power. Fulk had a violent but also pious temperament, was partial to acts of extreme cruelty as well as penitence. In his most notorious act, he allegedly had his first wife, Elisabeth of Vendôme, burned at the stake in her wedding dress, after he discovered her in adultery with a farmer in December 999. On the other hand, he made four pilgrimages to the Holy Land in 1002, 1008, and 1038 and, in 1007, built the great abbey at Beaulieu-lès-Loches. As a result, historiography has this to say about him: Fulk of Anjou, plunderer, murderer, robber, and swearer of false oaths, a truly terrifying character of fiendish cruelty, founded not one but two large abbeys. This Fulk was filled with unbridled passion, a temper directed to extremes. Whenever he had the slightest difference with a neighbor he rushed upon his lands, ravaging, pillaging, raping, and killing; nothing could stop him, least of all the commandments of God. Fulk fought against the claims of the counts of Rennes, defeating and killing Conan I of Rennes at the Battle of Conquereuil on 27 June 992. He then extended his power over the Counties of Maine and Touraine. Fulk's enterprises came up against the no less determined and violent ambitions of Odo II of Blois, against whom he made an alliance with the Capetians. On 6 July 1016, he defeated Odo at the Battle of Pontlevoy. In 1025, after capturing and burning the city of Saumur, Fulk reportedly cried, "Saint Florentius, let yourself be burned. I will build you a better home in Angers." However, when the transportation of the saint's relics to Angers proved difficult, Fulk declared that Florentius was a rustic lout unfit for the city, and sent the relics back to Saumur. Fulk also commissioned many buildings, primarily for defensive purposes. While fighting against the Bretons and Blesevins, protecting his territory from Vendôme to Angers and from there to Montrichard, he had more than a hundred castles, donjons, and abbeys constructed, including those at Château-Gontier, Loches (a stone keep), and Montbazon. He built the donjon at Langeais (990), one of the first stone castles. These numerous pious foundations, however, followed many acts of violence against the church. Fulk died in Metz while returning from his last pilgrimage. He is buried in the chapel of his monastery at Beaulieu. Issue By his first wife, Elisabeth, he left one daughter: Adela. By his second wife (1001), Hildegard of Sundgau, he had two children: Geoffrey Martel, his successor, Ermengarde-Blanche. | Fulk III Count of Anjou (I4146)

| 387 | Fulk I of Anjou (about 870 - 942), called the Red, was son of viscount Ingelger of Angers and Resinde "Aelinde" D'Amboise, was the first count of Anjou from 898 to 941. He increased the territory of the viscounty of Angers and it became a county around 930. During his reign he was permanently at war with the Normans and the Bretons. He occupied the county of Nantes in 907, but abandoned it to the Bretons in 919. He married Rosalie de Loches. He died around 942 and was succeeded by his son Fulk II. The modern day Queen of the United Kingdom, Elizabeth II, is a descendant of his, along with various other European monarchs. Fulk I of Anjou (870 - 942), called 'the Red' (Latin: Rufus) (French: Le Roux), held the county of Anjou first as Viscount then Count until his death. Life Born about c. 870, Fulk was the son of Ingelger of Anjou and Adelais de Amboise. He was the first count of Anjou ruling the county from c. 908 to 942. In 899 he became Viscount of Tours and in 905, Count of Tours. About 90-918 he was Count of Nantes, and in 929 he became count of Anjou. He increased the territory as a viscountcy of Angers and it became a county around 929. During his reign, he was permanently at war with the Normans and the Bretons. He occupied the county of Nantes in 907, but abandoned it to the Bretons in 919. Fulk I died around 942. Family Fulk married Roscille de Loches, daughter of Warnerius (Widone),Seigneur de Loches, de Villentrois, & de la Haye, and his wife Tecandra. He and Roscille had: Ingelger (†bef. 927). Guy (Wido), Bishop of Soissons (†970). Fulk II. Succeeded his father as Count of Anjou | Fulk I Count of Anjou (I177)
|
| 388 | Fulk II d'Anjou, Comte d'Anjou also went by the nick-name of Fulk 'the Good'. He gained the title of Comte d'Anjou. Fulk II of Anjou (died 958), son of Fulk the Red, was count of Anjou from 942 to his death. He was often at war with the Bretons. He seems to have been a man of culture, a poet and an artist. He was succeeded by his son Geoffrey Greymantle. Fulk II died at Tours. Fulk's date of death 11 November 958 is given by Christian Settipani in his work La Noblesse du Midi Carolingien, but it's unclear upon what primary evidence this is based. By his spouse, Gerberge, he had several children: Adelais of Anjou, married five times Geoffrey I, Count of Anjou, married Adelaide of Vermandois Fulk II of Anjou (died 958), son of Fulk the Red, was count of Anjou from 942 to his death.[2] He was often at war with the Bretons. He seems to have been a man of culture, a poet and an artist. He was succeeded by his son Geoffrey Greymantle. Fulk II died at Tours. Fulk's date of death 11 November 958 is given by Christian Settipani in his work La Noblesse du Midi Carolingien, but it's unclear upon what primary evidence this is based. By his spouse, Gerberge, he had several children: Adelais of Anjou, married five times Geoffrey I, Count of Anjou, married Adelaide of Vermandois Fulk II of Anjou (c. 905-960), called le Bon (the good) was count of Anjou from 941 to his death. Life Fulk II born c. 905 was a son of Fulk the Red and his wife Roscilla de Loches, daughter of Warnerius, Seigneur de Villentrois. He succeeded his father in 941 as the second count of Anjou, also called the count of Angers, and remained in power until 960. The Angevins, Fulk II included, had become particularly adept at establishing marriage alliances that furthered their goals. His father, Fulk the Red had arranged his marriage to a Carolinian, Gergerga, the daughter of Ratburnus I Viscount of Vienne. Among other things this alliance opened the doors for their daughter Adelaide-Blanche to marry a future king of France and their son Guy to become Bishop of le Puy. After her death c. 952 Fulk made another astute political marriage to Adelaide, the widow of Alan count of Nantes, through which Fulk gained control of Nantes. She was also the sister of Theobald I, Count of Blois which formed an alliance with Blois. Fulk died in 960. He was succeeded by his son Geoffrey Greymantle.

| 391 | Gabran succeeded to the kingship upon his brother's death in 538. Welsh sources claim that Gabran married a certain Luan, daughter of Brychan, the founder of the Welsh kingdom of Brycheiniog. There are problems, however with accepting this as fact, as it appears that the traditions of two Brycheiniogs, one in Wales and the other in northern Britain, were merged by medieval writers. Gabran's forces were defeated by the Picts in 558. He died in the same year, and was succeeded by Comgall's son Conall. Gabran gave his name to the Cenel nGabrain, one of the four divisions of the Dal Riata. Most of the kings of Dal Riata, and later Scotland, were drawn from the Cenel nGabrain. According to the "Senchus", Gabran was the father of five sons. | Mac Domangart, King Of Dal Riata, Gabran The Treacherous (I2279)

| 395 | Gebhard (died 879) was a mid-9th-century count in the Lahngau and the first documented ancestor of the dynasty later known as the Conradines. He was a "leading man of the [East] Franks" and a brother-in-law of Ernest, margrave of the Bavarian Nordgau. Gebhard may be a son of Odo I, Count of Orléans, if identical with Udo the Elder, count in the Lahngau from 821 to 826. In 838, he allied with Poppo of Grapfeld and Otgar, Archbishop of Mainz, against the rebellious Louis the German and in favour of the emperor Louis the Pious. He was the father of Udo, count in the Lahngau Waldo, abbot of St. Maximin's at Trier Bertulf, Bishop of Trier Berengar, count in the Hessengau who all rose to prominent positions in West Francia. | Gebhard Count of the Lahngau (I5375)

| 399 | General Don's Muster of 1815 BODET Pierre 42 Soldat Batteries St Brelade St Aubin Market We first hear of a Market in 1584 in the " Acte des Etats " of September 19 of that year, when we read that the Parish of St. Brelade had not yet contributed any money towards the liquidation of the debt on the building. £4 Stg. was still required for that purpose and both the Royal Court and the States decreed that that parish should raise £1-6-8 while the balance was to be obtained from the other parishes. However, on May 27, 1585, the Parish had not met its obligations; they were ordered to pay the four nobles (£1-6-8) to le Vicomte. At the Meeting of the States, the rents to be paid by the stall-holders were fixed, a silver crown by the butchers and 20 sols by the bakers. No clue is given as to how many stalls then existed. It would seem that this Market remained in existence till 1770 when it had appa¬rently outlived its purpose, but we do know that in 1682 the Market day at St. Aubin was fixed for Mondays. The States on October 9, 1770, approved a plan to erect new Market premises as well as Public Weights. But, on June I, 1771 the plans were altered so as to have the following dimensions, 28 feet long, 20 feet wide and 12 feet in height. On July 18, 1772, the States received the report of the Committee appointed to erect the Markets from which it appears that the building was finished. The building materials which were not used in the work of erection were sold; the fmal cost was estimated to amount to 2II2 livres, 13 sols 2 deniers approximately £160 in sterling in that year. Some question had arisen whether the six pillars forming the colonnade should be made of Portland Stone or of Mont Mado Stone, or even in oak. However, the Committee decide on Portland Stone at a cost of £33 sterling. A date stone with the year 1771 incised in it could be seen on the walls of the building but after the third structure was erected, it was embedded in the pavement where it still remains. The names of some of the builders, tilers and plasterers have been preserved, the Masters being Nic Le Quesne, Jean Romeril and Matthew Horton. In the meantime, St. Aubin's had become a very important mercantile port so it was very necessary to have more commodious Markets than those erected in 1772. Consequently, on August 10, 1824, the States decided to erect a new Market there and to hold one or two Lotteries to pay for the same. This was a device used by the States over a hundred years ago to raise money by pandering to the sporting proclivities of the Jersey public. The Markets Committee were authorized to organise these two Lotteries as they had had considerable experience in this direction in running some between the years 1792 to 1808. Eight Commissioners were named, they were most meticulous in following the procedure which had been formerly adopted regarding the numbering of the tickets J etc. These Commissioners informed the public that the contract for the erecting of the Markets had been given to Messrs. Pierre Bosdet and Nic Le Quesne who were prepared to do the job for £775 Stg. It was hoped that the work would be finished by January I, 1826, and the" Gazette" informed its readers: "It is therefore unneces¬sary for us to expatiate any further upon the advantages of a public building of this character." 2500 tickets each of 24 livres (£1-0-0) were issued and the first prize was 6000 livres (£250). But before the Lottery could take place, the wheels in the Lottery apparatus had got broken, and so it was necessary to have them repaired ! In order to make the Lottery a success, the Commissioners hit upon a happy idea of arranging a spectacular procession:- " The draw, fixed for Monday, March 28, 1825, will begin at 9.0 a.m., all the tickets (2500) should be drawn that day, consequently all the Members of the States Committee should be in the Court House at 8.30 a.m. to open the wheels." " At 7.0 a.m. the wheels will be placed on a superbly decorated carriage with four boys dressed in magnificent robes garlanded with coronets, etc. The procession will start from the.Constable's home (Thomas Duhamel) and proceed to the Royal Square going through the principal streets of the Town preceded by a band playing " Le Gros Prix de six mille francs". The carriage will arrive in the Square at 8 a.m. and the wheels will be transferred to the Royal Court, placed in the vestibule, the band in the meanwhile playing" God Save the King" ! So much for the advertisement in order to get people to part with their money, now for the building operations. On May 25, 1825, errors in the plan drawn up by the architect, William Thompson, were discovered so the ' Acte ' of the Markets Committee tells. Bosdet threw up the job in disgust. He had built a southern wall of 84 feet but the architect wanted 94 feet! The States were summoned to deal with the situation and recommended that the work of building the Markets should continue. Reading the ' Actes ' of the Markets Committee, there is reason to believe that Bosdet was placated handsomely, for on June 15, the Committee told him to lengthen the southern wall by ten feet, and so everything was beautifully smoothed over. On March 18, 1826, it was reported to the States that the building was not com¬pleted and that more money was required so two more Lotteries were ordered to be organised in 1826; even then four more lotteries were required to obtain money for the payment of these Markets! The structure was completed on the early part of July 1826 and on July 18 the States ordered it to be opened to the Public. The names of the first six stall-holders were Messrs. Monk, Frank Laffoley, Richard Hayne, William Fleury, Philippe Bisson and Jean Le Cornu who each paid 25 livres rent yearly (approximately one guinea). It was not till July 17, 1828, that the final settlements to Mr. Pierre Bosdet were made. In an ' Acte ' of the Markets Committee of that date, it appeared that he had received £46-15-9 Stg too much for the erection of the Market! The States Treasurer was authorized to receive that amount from Mr. Bosdet. Incidentally, after the contretemps of May 25, 1825, when he had threatened to proceed with the building, the States gave him £900 to carry on as his contract price had been £775. Then on this day, the Markets Committee deemed it advisable to make it public that the plan for the structure as previously drawn up by Mr. Thompson was not in the least erroneous ! | Bosdet, Pierre (I1630)
