Chapter 1.��� ARCHBISHOPS of BOURGES

Labb�s Historia Archiepiscoporum Bituricensium has not yet been studied in detail[1].�

  1. RAOUL, son of RAOUL Comte [de Quercy] & his wife Aiga --- (-21 Jun 866, bur Bourges Cathedral).� "Aigane uxore sua [Rodulfi comitis]" donated property to "ecclesiam S Genesii" with the consent of "prole mea sive Radulfo archiepiscopo�Godafredo comite�Rutberto, Landrico et Immone" by charter dated Feb 844[2].� Monk at Solignac 823.� Archbishop of Bourges 839/40.� Abb� de Fleury-sur-Lir.� He founded the abbey of Beaulieu en Limousin in [855].� "Rodulfus Biturigensis ecclesi� episcopus" left a testament dated Nov 860, subscribed by "Ayg�Godefredus, Landricus, Immo, Raimondo comite�"[3].�

  2. VULFARD, son of VULFARD Comte de Flavigny & his wife Susanna of Paris ([830]-after 2 Nov 889).� Archbishop of Bourges866-868.� His parentage is established by the charter dated 2 Nov 889 under which "Vulfardus" donated property to Saint-Beno�t-sur-Loire for the souls of "genitoris mei Vulfardi et genetrice mea Susannane necnon et germanorum fratrum meorum Adelardo, Vulgrino, Ymo et sorore mee Hildeburga vel nepote meo Vulgrino"[4].�

  4. MADALBERT (-killed 910).� Archbishop of Bourges .� The Annales Masciacenses record in 910 that �_Madalbertus Bituricensis episcopus_� was killed �_a paganis_�[6].�

Two brothers:�

  2. LAUNUS [I] .� m ARSINDIS, daughter of ---.� Launus [I] & his wife had one child:�

a) LAUNUS (-955).� A manuscript entitled "Progenies Dolensium Principum" names "Launus" as father of "Ebbonis fundatoris Dolensis Monasterii et Launi Archiepiscopi Bituricensis"[9].� ["Ebbo" donated "alodium�in Albari villa" to "ecclesiam in vico Dolensi", by charter dated 21 Sep 927, signed by "Ebbonis, Hildegardis uxoris eius, Rodulfi filii eius, Launionis archidiaconus, Vuillelmi fratris eius�"[10].� The chronology suggests that the subscriber "Launionis" must have been the brother of the donor, but this is not without doubt.] �Archbishop of Bourges 948.� The Annales Masciacenses record the death in 948 of �_Geruncus archipresul Biturigensis_� and the succession of �_domnus Launo_�[11].�

Two brothers:�

  1. THIBAUT [II] "le Tricheur" Comte de Blois, son of THIBAUT [I] "l'Ancien" Vicomte de Tours & his first wife ---.� m LUITGARDE de Vermandois, daughter of HERIBERT [II] Comte de Vermandois [Carolingian] & his wife Adela [Capet].� Thibaut [II] & his wife had children:�

a) HUGUES de Blois([946/47]-2 Jan 986, bur Marmoutier).� "Hugonis archiepiscopi filii Theobaldi comitis" subscribed the charter dated 950 (presumably misdated) under which Ragnfred Bishop of Chartres donated property to Chartres Saint-P�re[12].�Archbishop of Bourges 969.� The Annales Masciacenses record the ordination in 969 of �Ugo in...sede Biturigensium...archiepiscopus_�[13].� "Ledgardis" donated property to "Sancti Petri Carnotensis ecclesiam", for the souls of "senioris mei�comitis Tedbaldi�patris mei Heirberti, Trecassini comitis", with the consent of "archipresule�Hugone et�comite Odone, filiis meis", by charter dated 5 Feb 978, signed by "�Emma comitissa Pictav� urbis�"[14].� "Hugonis ducis, Odonis comitis, Hugonis sanct� Bituricensis archipr�sulis, Letgardis comitiss�, Bert� comitiss�, Gauzfridi vicecomitis�" subscribed the charter dated 985 under which "Robertus" donated property to "Sancti Petri Carnotensis", on the advice of "Odonem, simul cum sua matre Ledgarde, pariterque dominam meam Bertam, ipsius �que coniugem"[15].� The Chronicle of Saint-Maixent records the death in 985 of "Hugo Bituricus archiepiscopus"[16].� The necrology of Chartres Cathedral records the death �_IV Non Jan_� of �_Hugo Bituricensis archiepiscopus et canonicus Sanct� Mari�_�[17].� The necrology of Saint-P�re-en-Vall�e records the death "IV Non Jan" of "Hugo Bituricensis archiepiscopus filius comitisse Legardis", recording that they jointly donated "Gesiacum�predia"[18].� �_Odo comes_� restored �_villam...Culturas_� to Marmoutier, for the souls of �...domini Hugonis archiepiscopi, cujus ibi corpus...jacet_�, by charter dated to [986], subscribed by �_Berte comitiss� uxoris eius, majoris filii eius Teutboldi, filii eius Odonis adhuc in cunabulo_�[19].

  1. RICHARD (-969).� �_Ledgardis comitissa necnon Hugo episcopus et filius meus et item filius meus Odo comes_� donated property to Saint-Martin de Tours, for the souls of �_Theobaldi comitis quondam senioris mei�Richildis quondam sanctimonialis, eiusque filii Richardi episcopi_� (referring to �_dicti comitis et fratris sui Theobaldi_�, in relation to Bishop Richard), by charter dated to [980][20].� This confirms that Richildis was the mother of Richard and that Richard was the brother of Thibaut.� However, the absence of a phrase in the text such as �_matris sui_� linking �_Richildis_� to �_Theobaldi comitis_� suggests that she was not his mother and that therefore the brothers were born from different marriages of the same father.� Archbishop of Bourges 956/57.�

  2. DAGOBERT (-1013).� Abbot of Dol.�Archbishop of Bourges 987.�

  3. GAUCELIN, [illegitimate son of HUGUES �Capet� King of France & his mistress ---] (-1030).� Ademar refers to "abbatem Gauzlenum" being ordained at "sancti Benedicti" by "Rex Rotbertus".� The text continues by explaining that he was "nobilissimi Francorum principis filius manzer, a puero in monasterio sancti Benedicti nutritus", specifying that "rex supra scriptus [=Rotbertus]" later installed him as "archiepiscopum Bituricensibus" after the death of Archbishop Dagbert[21].� These oblique references have been interpreted as meaning that the father of Gauzlin was King Hugues "Capet"[22], although this is not beyond doubt.� Kerrebrouck also casts doubt on this assumed paternity of Gauzlin[23].�Archbishop of Bourges 1013.� Abb� de Fleury, Saint-Beno�t-sur-Loire.

  4. AIMON de Bourbon, son of ARCHAMBAUD [II] Sire de Bourbon & his wife Ermengarde --- �(-30 May or 5 Jun 1071).� "Archembaldus et Albuinus, Geraldus quoque et Aymo" donated the Chapelle de La Faye to the abbey of Souvigny by charter dated [24 Oct 1024/23 Oct 1025], signed by "Archenbaldi, uxoris sue Ermengaudis et filiorum scilicet eiusdem" which repeats the preceding names[24].�Archbishop of Bourges 1030.� "Erchenbudus, Borbonensium comes�et frater meus Albuinus et uxor mea Aurea et filius meus Herchenbaldus" donated "ecclesiam�Mons Cenobii�in honore sancti Ursini" to the church of Bourges by undated charter[25].� Huillard-Br�holles dates this charter to [1048/49][26].� "Guido comes" also supported a donation to Saint-Vincent de M�con by charter dated [1077] subscribed by "Maioris comitisse, Archimbaldi et Aimonis fratris eius"[27].

  5. RICHARD (-1092).� Archbishop of Bourges 1071.�

Two brothers:

  1. AUDEBERT (-1096).� Archbishop of Bourges 1092.� Orderic Vitalis records that �_Aldebertus Dolensis abbas_� was made archbishop of Bourges[28].�

  2. GARNIER de Montmorillon [Vienne] .� Orderic Vitalis records that �_Aldebertus Dolensis abbas_� was made archbishop of Bourges and that �_Guarnerius de Monte Maurelionis pr�fati pr�suli frater_� was a knight who became �_Cas� Dei monachus_� where he lived for about 60 years[29].�

  3. LEODEGAIRE (-31 Mar 1120).� Archbishop of Bourges 1096.�

  4. VULGRIN (-1136).� Archbishop of Bourges 1120.�

  5. AUBRY (-1141).� Archbishop of Bourges 1136.� The necrology of Reims records the death �_XII Kal Aug_� of �_domnus Albricus...Bituricensis archiepiscopus et noster canonicus_� and the donation of �_terram de Curcella_� made for his soul by �_Stephanus de Portaclaustri nepos eius_�[30].�

Two siblings:�

  1. AIMERY .� Chancellor of the church of Rome.� Ralph de Diceto�s Abbreviationes Chronicorum record in 1146 that �_Aimericus ecclesi� Roman� cancellarius nepotem...Petrum_� was elected archbishop of Bourges �_citra...conscientiam Ludovici regis Francorum_� and consecrated by the Pope[31].�

  2. --- .� m ---.� One child:�

a) PIERRE de la Chastre, son of --- (-1 May 1171).� Archbishop of Bourges 1141.� Ralph de Diceto�s Abbreviationes Chronicorum record in 1146 that �_Aimericus ecclesi� Roman� cancellarius nepotem...Petrum_� was elected archbishop of Bourges �_citra...conscientiam Ludovici regis Francorum_� and consecrated by the Pope, much to the displeasure of the French king who forbade his entry into Bourges for three years[32].�

  1. **ETIENNE [de la Chapelle-Gauthier**], son of --- (Paris [1123]-12 or 20 Jan 1177, bur Paris Saint-Victor).� Bishop of Meaux 1161.� Archbishop of Bourges 1170.� His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated [24 Mar 1174/12 Apr 1175] under which Louis VII King of France confirmed the transfer of "terram de Chasteillon" to the abbey of Saint-Victor which names "Ludovico vicecomite Milidunensi�Walterii camerarii nostri�uxoris filii sui Philippi qui soror ipsius vicecomitis erat" and "Walterus�et fratris sui Stephani archiepiscopi Bituricensis�uxoris sue Aveline"[33].�

  2. WARIN (-20 Mar 1180).� Archbishop of Bourges 1174.�

  3. PIERRE (-1180).� Archbishop of Bourges 1180.� The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records in 1196 that "vir nobilis...Henricus" succeeded �_archiepiscopum Petrum, Garini successorem_� as archbishop[34].�

Two brothers:�

  1. GILLES [III] Seigneur de Sully, son of EUDES [Archambaud] Seigneur de Sully & his wife Mathilde de Baugency (-[1195]).� m LUCE de Charenton, daughter of EBLES [IV] Seigneur de Charenton & his wife --- de Bourbon.� Gilles [III] & his wife had children:�

a) ARCHAMBAUD [IV] Seigneur de Sully(-after 1234).� m firstly ALIX, daughter of ---.� m secondly MARGUERITE, daughter of ---.� m thirdly ---.� Archambaud & his [first/second/third] wife had children:

i) JEAN de Sully (-30 Mar 1273).� The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.� Archbishop of Bourges 1260.� "Johannes...Bituricensis archiepiscopus, Aquitanie primus" attested that �_consanguinea nostra Isabellis de Melloto_� had given a sum of money to �_domino Droconi de Melloto fratri suo_� which �_G...Autissiod. episcopus patruus suus_� held in deposit, by charter dated 30 Nov 1269[35].� The precise relationship between Jean de Sully and the Mello family has not been ascertained, but it could have been through Jean�s mother whose parentage is not known.� The necrology of Chartres cathedral records the death "III Kal Apr" of "J[ohannis] de Soliaco, de nobili prosapia Johannis quondam regis Jherosolimitani et dominorum de Borbonio ortus, quondam archiepiscopi Bituricensis"[36].� While it is chronologically unlikely that Jean de Brienne King of Jerusalem was the direct ancestor of Archbishop Jean, it is possible that the latter's mother was Jean de Brienne's relative.� The connection with the Bourbon family is through Jean's paternal grandmother who was the granddaughter of Archambaud [VII] Sire de Bourbon.� The necrology of Chartres cathedral records the death "III Kal Apr" of "_J[ohannis] de Soliaco de nobili prosapia Johannis quondam regis Jherosolimitani et dominorum de Borbonio ortus, quondam archiepiscopi Bituricensis_�[37].�

ii) GUY de Sully (-5 Mar 1280, bur eglise des Jacobins de Bourges).� The necrology of Chartres cathedral records that "Guido frater eius de ordine fratrum Predicatorum" succeeded "J[ohannis] de Soliaco�quondam archiepiscopi Bituricensis" as Archbishop[38].�Archbishop of Bourges 1273.�

b) SIMON de Sully (-8 Jul 1232, bur Bourges Cathedral).� The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the appointment of "Symon cantor Bituricensis frater Erchenbaldi de Soilliaco super Ligerium" as Archbishop of Bourges in 1217[39].�Archbishop of Bourges .� The _Chronicon Lemovicensi S. Martini_records that "Simon cantor Bituricensis, de genere de Soler, nepos Henrici quondam Bituricensis archiepiscopi" was appointed archbishop of Bourges in 1218[40].��_Simon...Bituricensis archiepiscopus_� confirmed an agreement between �_nepotes nostros Henricum Soliacum dominum et Guillelmum fratrem suum_� relating to �_terram de Argento et de Climon, ratione portionis hereditari� patern�_�, naming �_frater noster pater eius Archembaudus de Solaico_�, by charter dated Nov 1225[41].� The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records in 1232, after the death of �_archiepiscopo Symone Bituricensi_�, the choice of �_post aliquas electiones...magister Petrus de Castro Radulfi_�[42].�

  1. HENRI de Sully (-11 Sep 1199, bur Abbaye de Loroy).�The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the election of "Henricus frater Odo cantor Bituricensis in episcopum Parisiensem, post magistrum Mauritium eligitur" as Archbishop of Bourges in 1196, specifying that they were both brothers of "Egidii de Solleiro"[43].�Archbishop of Bourges 1196.�� The _Pars Altera Chronici Lemovicensis_of Geoffroy de Vigeois records the election of "Henricus, frater Gilonis de Soliaco et Radulphi quondam Cluniacensis et de Fescanno monasterio abbatis" as archbishop of Bourges in 1183[44], although as shown below other sources indicate that Raoul was Henri's uncle.� The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records in 1196 that "vir nobilis...Henricus" succeeded �_archiepiscopum Petrum, Garini successorem_� as archbishop[45].� The Obituaire de Notre-Dame de Paris records the death "III Id Sep 1199" of "Henricus de Soliaco frater Odonis Parisiensis, archiepiscopus Bituricensis"[46].�

  2. --- Berruier .� [m firstly---.� No positive indication has been found about this supposed first marriage.� However, the chronological difficulties concerning the supposed marriages of Ferry [I] de Donjon could be partially resolved if [Moen�e], mother of Guillaume Berruier Archbishop of Bourges, was his father�s second wife and his other child(ren) was/were born from an earlier otherwise unrecorded first marriage.]� m [secondly] (after [1182]) as her second husband, [MOENEE], widow of FERRY [I] de Donjon, daughter of ---.� Indications of her two marriages are provided by the Scripta de Feodis of King Philippe II which record �_domini Guidonis et Petri de Donjone fratrum beati Guillermi Bituricensis quondam archiepiscopi_� and their holdings�[47].� This is corroborated by the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines which names "domina de Monte-Argisi fuit soror vel neptis illius [=_Guilelmus�archiepiscopus Bituricensis_]" as the wife of "Petro de Cortenaio regis Philippi patruo"[48].� Her name is confirmed only by Gallia Christiana which states that [her son Guillaume Archbishop of Bourges] �_Guillelmus Archesiis vico Nivernensis pagi natus ex illustri genere_� had �_matrem...Maeniam_� who had �_frater Guillelmus archidiaconus Suessionensis...dictus...Eremita_� who educated him[49].� No primary source is cited, so the reliability of the name cannot be judged.� Kerrebrouck refers to her as �Moen�e d�Arthel�, citing an article by Estournet, but it is unlikely that this is correct[50].� Arthel is a small commune situated in canton Pr�mery, arrondissement Cosne-Cours.sur-Loire, d�partement Ni�vre.� No other contemporary reference to a family �d�Arthel� has been found.� Various websites refer to �Saint Guillaume d�Arthel� being born there, without providing any further details about his life[51].� It is assumed that this refers to Guillaume Berruier Archbishop of Bourges, sometimes known as �Saint Guillaume de Bourges�.� If that is correct, the village may have been the home of the Berruier family, but no other indication has been found of its origin in Arthel.� --- & his [first] wife had one child:�

a) GERAUD Berruier .� La Saussaye, in his early 17th century work on the bishops of Orl�ans names "Geraldus Berruyerius, frater beati Gulielmi Bituricensis archiepiscopi" as the father of Philippe Berruier who was bishop of Orl�ans from 1221 to 1236[52].�m MATTHEA, daughter of ---.� G�raud & his wife had two childen:�

i) ARCHAMBAUD Berruier .�

ii) PHILIPPE Berruier (-[6] Jan 1260).� La Saussaye, in his early 17th century work on the bishops of Orl�ans names "Geraldus Berruyerius, frater beati Gulielmi Bituricensis archiepiscopi" as the father of Philippe Berruier who was bishop of Orl�ans from 1221 to 1236[53].�Archbishop of Bourges 1232.�

--- & his [second] wife had one child:�

b) GUILLAUME Berruier (-10 Jan 1209).� Abbot of Chaalis [near Senlis, d�partement Oise]. �Archbishop of Bourges 1199.� The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the appointment as archbishop of Bourges in 1197 of �abbas Karoliloci [Chaalis] _Guilelmus_�, adding that "domina de Monte-Argisi fuit soror vel neptis illius [=_Guilelmus�archiepiscopus Bituricensis_]" and married "Petro de Cortenaio regis Philippi patruo"[54].� His Vita provides some indication of his family background, stating that he was educated by "suo avunculo archidiacono Suessionis ecclesi�Eremita cognomine"[55].� Another indication of his family origin is provided by a charter dated Jul 1223 of "Mathildis comitissa Nivernensis" who names him "avunculum suum"[56], no doubt an extended use of the word "avunculum" as the connection is traced through Guillaume�s uterine half-sister who was the great-grandmother of Mathilde de Courtenay Ctss de Nevers.� Gallia Christiana expands on this information but cites no primary sources as the basis for the following statements: �_Guillelmus de Donjeon ex comitibus Nivernensis oriundus, Mathildis comitiss� Nivernensis domin� Donziaci avunculus (forte patruus)_� had �_fratrem...Baldudinum de Hiere_� who donated property to �_Sacro-Portui seu Barbello Cisterciensis ordinis...monasterio_� when leaving for Jerusalem with the consent of �_A. uxore et I & Ferrico filiis_�; that he had �_duos alios...fratres...ex reg. camer� computorum Paris. Guidonem et Petrum de Dijon (Donjeon)_�; that �_Guillelmus Archesiis vico Nivernensis pagi natus ex illustri genere_�, that �_matrem...Maeniam_� had �_frater Guillelmus archidiaconus Suessionensis...dictus...Eremita_� who educated him[57].� It is unclear whether these passages represent an interpretation of the primary sources which are quoted above or whether they are based on other reliable sources.� La Saussaye, in his early 17th century work on the bishops of Orl�ans names "Geraldus Berruyerius, frater beati Gulielmi Bituricensis archiepiscopi" as the father of Philippe Berruier who was bishop of Orl�ans from 1221 to 1236[58].� The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the death in 1209 of �_sanctus Guilelmus Bituricensis archiepiscopus_�[59].�

  1. GERARD de Cros, son of --- (-Rome 7 Jul 1218).�Archbishop of Bourges 1208.� "G�Bituricensis archiepiscopus" reached agreement with "quatuor fratres�Guido decanus Claromontensis�Ademaro de Cros�milite�Geraldus de Cros cum P. de Murat�milite" concerning their inheritance, including property held by "P. Guidonis patruus noster", with the consent of "Ademarus de Cros nepos noster filius supradicti Ademari", by charter dated Jul 1213[60].� The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records in 1217 that �_archiepiscopus Geraldus decanus Clarimontensis_� succeeded �_sanctum Guilelmum_� as archbishop of Bourges, but died �_in via Romana_� nine years later[61].�

  2. PIERRE de Ch�teau-Roux, son of --- (-after 1234).� Archbishop of Bourges 1232.� The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records in 1232, after the death of �_archiepiscopo Symone Bituricensi_�, the choice of �_post aliquas electiones...magister Petrus de Castro Radulfi_�[62].� The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records that �_archiepiscopus Bituricensis Petrus_� was deposed in 1234[63].�

  3. SIMON de Beaulieu, son of --- (-18 Aug 1297).� Archbishop of Bourges 1280.� �_Henricus dominus de Soliaco...soror mea Maria_� enfranchised �_castrum meum de Aiis_�, referring to land �_sub dominio domini avunculi mei Simonis archiepiscopi Bituris_�, by charter dated Apr 1301[64].� The family relationship between Archbishop Simon and Henri [IV] Sire de Sully has not been established.�

  4. GUILLAUME de Brosse, son of ROGER de Brosse Seigneur de Sainte-Sev�re & his wife Marguerite de D�ols (-Naillac Dec 1338, bur Sens Saint-Etienne).� Bishop of Le Puy 1317.� Bishop of Meaux.� Archbishop of Bourges 1321.� "Guillaume archev�que de Bourges, executeur testamentaire de feu H�lie de Brosse chevalier seigneur de Ch�teau-Clos" confirmed a bequest to the abbey of Aubignac by charter dated 1328[65].�**Archbishop of Sens**1330.� Gallia Christiana recordsthe epitaph �_ante majus altare S. Stephani_� of �_G. de Brucia quondam Senonensi pr�latus_� who died �_Nailliacensi_� 13 Dec 1338[66].�

  5. FOUCAUD de Rochechouart, son of AIMERY [XI] Vicomte de Rochechouart & his first wife Jeanne de Tonnay-Charente ([1/7] Jan 1264-7 Aug 1343, bur Bourges Cathedral).� His birth date is confirmed from an enquiry dated 1293 which records that "Simon de Rochechouart chevalier seigneur de Saint-Laurent fils de�Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart et de madame Jeanne de Tonnay-Charente" was only one year old when his mother died in childbirth of �_Foucaud de Rochechouart son fr�re_�[67].� The testament of �_Aimery vicomte de Rochechouard, estant sur le point de passer la mer avec le roy de France_�, dated end-Jun 1283, confirmed the donation of �_Saint-Auvent � Foucaud son fils_� made by �_feu messire Simon de Rochechouard archev�que de Bordeaux son oncle_�[68].� "Foucaud de Rochechouart doyen de Bourges" granted "l�usufruit de sa terre de Saint-Auvent" to "Simon de Rochechouart son fr�re" by charter dated 29 Aug 1302[69].� "Noble homme, messire Aymery vicomte de Rochechouart, chevalier" reached agreement with "Jeanne de Rochechouart sa s�ur" concerning the succession of "feu messire Aimery vicomte de Rochechouart leur ayeul", including a future pension after the death of "Jeanne de Vivonne leur m�re", on the advice of "Foucaud de Rochechouart doyen de Bourges seigneur de Saint-Auvent, Guy de Rochechouart seigneur de Tonnay-Charente, et Simon de Rochechouart seigneur de Saint-Laurent, chevaliers, leur oncle", by charter dated mid-Jan 1304[70].�"Lore vicomtesse de Turenne dame de Chabanais, comme tutrice des enfants de feu Aimery de Rochechouart, damoiseau, son neveu" contracted for the marriage of "sa ni�ce Lore avec Simon de Rochechouart chevalier, seigneur de Saint-Laurent, avec les dispenses de parent�, lesquelles seraient obtenues du Pape" by contract dated "le vendredi apr�s Saint-Nicolas d�hyver 1304", which also records that "Messire Foucaud de Rochechouart doyen de Bourges donna au dit Simon son fr�re cent livres de rentes"[71].� Bishop of Noyon 1318.� Archbishop of Bourges 1330.� A charter dated "le lundy apr�s Saint-Luc 1343" records that "_Andr� de Chauvigny prieur de Saint-Ursin de Bourges...Jean de Chauvigny seigneur de Levroux...Isabelle sa femme..._� were accused of theft from "Foucaud de Rochechouart archev�que de Bourges" on his deathbed[72].�
