Chapter 1.��� COMTES de BAR-sur-AUBE

The county of Bar-sur-Aube lay east of the county of Troyes, having evolved from the pagus Barrensis within the ecclesiastical diocesis of Langres.� It covered the same territory as the ecclesiastical doyenn�_of Bar-sur-Aube[1].� A charter dated 22 Sep 829 in the cartulary of Monti�render refers to "res�in pago Barrense" and is dated "Barrense castro sive ad Morimunt"[2].� No record has been found of any comtes de Bar-sur-Aube before the early 11th century, although the castle referred to in the 829 document was presumably governed by a series of comtes or vicomtes about whom no information has survived.� Details concerning the family of the first known comtes de Bar-sur-Aube are included in the Acta Sanctorum commentary on the life of Saint-Simon de Valois, which is based on an undated manuscript of the abbey of Saint-Claude[3].� The county passed by marriage to the comtes de Valois in the mid-11th century.� After the death of Raoul [III] Comte de Valois, the county passed to Thibaut III Comte de Blois.� As discussed below, there is some doubt whether Comte Thibaut III was the son-in-law of Comte Raoul [III], but in the absence of a family relationship his justification for acquiring Bar-sur-Aube is unclear.� One of his first acts was confirmation of donations to the abbey of Saint-Claude made by the earlier comtes de Bar-sur-Aube: "Teubaldus comes", at the request of "domni Symonis comitis", confirmed donations of property "in terra Barrensi" made by "comes Notcherius et Rodulphus et Symon comes" by charter dated 1076[4].� Unfortunately the document makes no mention of the relationship between the parties.� Thereafter the county of Bar-sur-Aube remained in the possession of the comtes de Blois and comtes de Champagne.� Their feudal relationship with the bishops of Langres is unclear, given that the bishops were suzerains of Bar-sur-Aube in the early 12th century: Pope Pascal II confirmed the possession of numerous castles to the bishop of Langres, including �...castrum Barrum super Albam..._�, by bull dated [1105][5].� In the mid-19th century, Henri d�Arbois de Jubainville studied the history of Bar-sur-Aube during the governance by the comtes de Champagne and, in his introduction, he summarises the county�s previous history[6].�

A.����� COMTES de BAR-sur-AUBE (FERTE-sur-AUBE)

NOCHER [I] de la Fert�-sur-Aube, son of ACHARD de la Fert�-sur-Aube & his wife [Achardia ---] (-after 1011).� The Acta Sanctorum commentary on the life of Saint-Simon de Valois, based on an undated manuscript of the abbey of Saint-Claude, records that "Rodulpho (Simonis genitori)" married three wives, firstly "Adela, Nocheri Barrensis ad Albam comitis filia, Notheri comitis Suessionum neptis, Achardi proneptis" who had previously married "Rainaldum de Sinemuro, Rainardum comitem de Jooniaco, Rotgerium de Wangionis ripa"[7].�Comte de Bar-sur-Aube.� "Fulchone Suessionis episcopo ac comite Notcherio fratribus" supported a donation by "Vualterius Eduorum�episcopus" of property to the abbey of Flavigny by charter dated 1011, subscribed by " Fulco episcopus Sessionis civitatis, Beraldi nepotis eius, Notcherii comitis, Notcherii filii eius, Adelise comitisse"[8].�

m ([992]) [as her second husband,] ADELISA, [widow of GUY Comte de Soissons,] daughter of [GILBERT/GISELBERT Comte & his wife ---].� "�Notcherii comitis, Notcherii filii eius, Adelise comitisse" subscribed the charter dated 1011 under which "Fulchone Suessionis episcopo ac comite Notcherio fratribus" supported a donation by "Vualterius Eduorum�episcopus" of property to the abbey of Flavigny[9].� The Acta Sanctorum commentary on the life of Saint-Simon de Valois, based on an undated manuscript of the abbey of Saint-Claude, records that "Nocherius seu Nocherus, Achardi filius" married in 992 "Alaidem comitissam Suessionensem, filiam comitis Gilberti, viduam Guidonis Viromanduensis, et matrem Rainaudi comitis Suessionensem"[10].� According to Europ�ische Stammtafeln[11], she was Adelisa Ctss de Soissons, daughter of Guy Comte de Soissons & his wife ---.� It is uncertain which version is correct, but as noted below under Renaud Comte de Soissons there are indications that the Acta Sanctorum version provides a more credible explanation of events.�

Nocher [I] & his wife had [three] children:�

  1. NOCHER [II] (-[1019/40]).� The Acta Sanctorum commentary on the life of Saint-Simon de Valois, based on an undated manuscript of the abbey of Saint-Claude, names "alius Nocherius, Wido�clericus, frater eius" as the two sons of "Nocherius comes Suessionem"[12].�Comte de Bar-sur-Aube.�

-������� see below.�

  1. GUY .� The _Acta Sanctorum_commentary on the life of Saint-Simon de Valois, based on an undated manuscript of the abbey of Saint-Claude, names "alius Nocherius, Wido�clericus, frater eius" as the two sons of "Nocherius comes Suessionem"[13].�

  2. [RENAUD [I] (-1057).� Comte de Soissons.� According to Europ�ische Stammtafeln[14], Renaud was the possible son of Nocher Comte de Bar-sur-Aube & his wife Adelisa Ctss de Soissons.� This is consistent with the same source stating that Nocher�s wife was the daughter, not the widow, of Guy Comte de Soissons, but the primary source (if any) on which the information is based has not been identified.� On the other hand, the Acta Sanctorum commentary on the life of Saint-Simon de Valois, based on an undated manuscript of the abbey of Saint-Claude, records that "Nocherius seu Nocherus, Achardi filius" married in 992 "Alaidem comitissam Suessionensem, filiam comitis Gilberti, viduam Guidonis Viromanduensis, et matrem Rainaudi comitis Suessionensem"[15].� As Renaud named his son Guy, it appears more likely that the _Acta Sanctorum_version is correct.]�

NOCHER [II], son of NOCHER [I] Comte de Bar-sur-Aube & his wife Adelisa --- (-[1019/40]).� The Acta Sanctorum commentary on the life of Saint-Simon de Valois, based on an undated manuscript of the abbey of Saint-Claude, names "alius Nocherius, Wido�clericus, frater eius" as the two sons of "Nocherius comes Suessionem"[16].� His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 1011 under which "Fulchone Suessionis episcopo ac comite Notcherio fratribus" supported a donation by "Vualterius Eduorum�episcopus" of property to the abbey of Flavigny, subscribed by "�Notcherii comitis, Notcherii filii eius, Adelise comitisse"[17].�Comte de Bar-sur-Aube.�

m ---.� The name of Nocher�s wife is not known.�

Nocher [II] & his wife had two children:�

  1. AELIS ([1020/25]-11 Sep 1053).� The Acta Sanctorum commentary on the life of Saint-Simon de Valois, based on an undated manuscript of the abbey of Saint-Claude, records that "Rodulpho (Simonis genitori)" married three wives, firstly "Adela, Nocheri Barrensis ad Albam comitis filia, Notheri comitis Suessionum neptis, Achardi proneptis" who had previously married "Rainaldum de Sinemuro, Rainardum comitem de Jooniaco, Rotgerium de Wangionis ripa"[18].� Considering the date of her first marriage, and that she had several children by her fourth husband, it is unlikely that Aelis was born before [1020/25].� Ctss de Bar-sur-Aube.� Her marital history is recorded in the _Acta Sanctorum_commentary on the life of Saint-Simon de Valois: after the death of her first husband, "Rodulfus comes Calvimontis Vallis Cassini" [identified as her future fourth husband] visited "castellum Barri" who proposed marriage, the ceremony to take place after his return from a pilgrimage to Rome, but as the proposal displeased "primoribus terr� illius" they married her during Raoul�s absence to "Rainardo comiti de Jooniaco".� After Raoul returned, he besieged "Jooniacum castellum" and abducted Aelis to "castello Firmitatis", wanting to assure himself that she was not pregnant before marrying her.� While there, the inhabitants of Bar-sur-Aube married her again to "Rotgerio de Wangionis ripa", after which Raoul ravaged the countryside until they returned Aelis to him[19].� Her son "Symon comes Barrensium" donated property to the abbey of Molesme for the souls of "parentum suorum Radulfi�comitis et Walterii fratris suis et matris sue Adele" by undated charter[20].� The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Adala" wife of "comitis Veromandie [error for Valois] Rodolfi" and mother of "Symonem et filiam�Adala", but does not give her origin[21].� "Symon comes Barrensium" donated property to the abbey of Molesme for the souls of "parentum suorum Radulfi�comitis et Walterii fratris suis et matris sue Adele" by undated charter, the entry stating that "Adelina comitissa" died "III Id Sep"[22].�m firstly (1040) RENAUD de Semur-en-Brionnais, son of GEOFFROY I Seigneur de Semur & his first wife --- de Brioude.� m secondly ([1040/42], separated) RENARD Comte de Joigny, son of GEOFFROY de Joigny & his wife Alix de Sens.� m thirdly ([1041/43], separated) as his second wife, ROGER [I] avou� de Vignory, son of GUY [I] de Vignory & his wife --- (-before 1057).� m fourthly ([1041/45]) as his first wife, RAOUL [III] Comte de Valois, du Vexin, d'Amiens et de Vitry, son of RAOUL [II] Comte de Valois & his wife [--- de Breteuil] (-P�ronne 23 Feb or 8 Sep 1074, bur Montdidier, later transferred to Cr�py-en-Valois, �glise coll�giale Saint-Arnoul).� The county of Bar-sur-Aube was transmitted to the children of Aelis�s fourth marriage.�

  2. ISABELLE .� The _Acta Sanctorum_commentary on the life of Saint-Simon de Valois, based on an undated manuscript of the abbey of Saint-Claude, names "comitissam�Adelhida et Isabel" as the two daughters of Nocher [II] Comte de Bar-sur-Aube, adding that Isabelle married "Galterius de Clamice" by whom she had "filium Rodulphum" who was strangled "apud Firmitatem jam juvenis"[23].�m GAUTHIER de Clamecy, son of ---.� One child:�

a) RAOUL de Clamecy (-murdered La Fert�-sur-Aube ----).� The _Acta Sanctorum_commentary on the life of Saint-Simon de Valois, based on an undated manuscript of the abbey of Saint-Claude, names "comitissam�Adelhida et Isabel" as the two daughters of Nocher [II] Comte de Bar-sur-Aube, adding that Isabelle married "Galterius de Clamice" by whom she had "filium Rodulphum" who was strangled "apud Firmitatem jam juvenis"[24].�

B.����� COMTES de BAR-sur-AUBE (VALOIS)

The following outline shows information relevant to the county of Bar-sur-Aube.� Full details of this family are shown in the document NORTHERN FRANCE NOBILITY.�

RAOUL [III] de Valois, son of RAOUL [II] Comte de Valois & his wife Adela de Breteuil (-P�ronne 23 Feb or 8 Sep 1074, bur Montdidier, later transferred to Cr�py-en-Valois, �glise coll�giale Saint-Arnoul).� He succeeded [1030/35] as Comte de Valois.� He succeeded his cousin Gauthier [III] as Comte d'Amiens et du Vexin.�

m firstly ([1041/45]) as her fourth husband, AELIS de Bar-sur-Aube, widow firstly of RENAUD de Semur-en-Brionnais, secondly of RENARD Comte de Joignyand thirdly of ROGER [I] avou� de Vignory, daughter and heiress of NOCHER [II] Comte de Bar-sur-Aube et de Vitry-en-Perthois & his wife --- (([1020/25]-11 Sep 1053).� Ctss de Bar-sur-Aube (see above).�

Raoul [III] & his first wife had children:

  1. GAUTHIER de Valois (-killed in battle 6 Sep [1065/1067]).� "Symon comes Barrensium" donated property to the abbey of Molesme for the souls of "parentum suorum Radulfi�comitis et Walterii fratris suis et matris sue Adele" by undated charter, the entry stating that "Walterius comes" died "VIII Id Sep"[25].�Comte [de Bar-sur-Aube].� As his father was still alive at the time, it is supposed that Gauthier�s county was Bar-sur-Aube, inherited from his mother, but this is not beyond all doubt.�

  2. SIMON de Valois (-Rome [30 Sep/1 Oct] 1080, bur 1082 Rome St Peter).� Comte de Valois, d'Amiens, et de Montdidier, Comte de Bar-sur-Aube.� He resigned his counties in 1077 and became a monk.�

  3. [ADELA [Alix] de Valois (-12 May [1093/1100], bur Saint-Faron).� It is unclear whether the [second/third] wife of Thibaut III Comte de Blois could have been the daughter of Comte Raoul [III].� The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Alaydis soror sancti Symonis" as wife of "comiti Campanie Theobaldo", although he confuses her with her supposed niece Adelais, daughter of H�ribert [IV] Comte de Vermandois, saying that she married "Hugoni fratri regis Philippi" after the death of her husband[26].� The difficulty with Alberic�s statement is an undated charter, quoted by Acta Sanctorum, under which "Rodulfus comes" donated property to Saint-R�my, confirmed by "Symonem filium meum, duos quoque generos meos, quos de filiabus meis habeo, id est Heribertum comitem et juvenem�Bartholomeum"[27].� If the wife of Comte Thibaut III had been another daughter of Raoul [III], it is unclear why he would have been omitted from this document which appears to indicate clearly that Raoul had only two sons-in-law.� Nevertheless, a close relationship with the family of the comtes de Valois is indicated by a charter dated to [1077/81] under which "Teobaudus comes palatinus�cum mulierum Adelaide" donated property to Monti�render, naming "bone memorie predecessorum�patris sui Odonis comitis et Heriberto cognomento senioris�comes Rodulfus predecessor suus et propinquus"[28], the latter presumably referring to Comte Raoul [III].� In addition, Comte Thibaut acquired the county of Bar-sur-Aube.� If he had not been Raoul�s son-in-law, the basis for this acquisition is unclear.� m (before 1061) as his [second/third] wife, THIBAUT III Comte de Blois, Chartres et Champagne, son of EUDES II Comte de Blois, Chartres, Troyes et Champagne & his second wife Ermengarde d'Auvergne ([1010]-29/30 Sep 1089).� Comte de Bar-sur-Aube, presumably after 1077, maybe de iure uxoris.]�

A.����� SEIGNEURS de CH�TEAUVILLAIN

Ch�teauvillain is located about 5 kilometres south-east of La Fert�-sur-Aube, 15 kilometres south-west of Chaumont, in the present-day French d�partement of Haute-Marne.� In medieval times it straddled the border between the county of Bar-sur-Aube to the north and the pagus Lingonicus (Langrois) to the south.� The seigneurie de Ch�teauvillain was acquired by the seigneurs de Broyes in the later 12th century, probably through the second marriage of Hugues [III] Seigneur de Broyes with Isabelle de Dreux[29].�

  1. ACHARD de la Fert�-sur-Aube .� The Acta Sanctorum commentary on the life of Saint-Simon de Valois, based on an undated manuscript of the abbey of Saint-Claude, names "Achardi" as the ancestor of the comtes de Bar-sur-Aube who are set out below, stating that he was "genere Normannum" and that he founded "Firmitatis ad Albam" {La Fert�-sur-Aube}[139].�m [ACHARDIA], daughter of ---.� The Acta Sanctorum commentary on the life of Saint-Simon de Valois names "Achardia" as the wife of "Achardi"[140].� The name is improbable, as it appears to be the feminine version of her husband�s name.� Achard & his wife had [three] children:�

ii) [daughter .� "Humbertus archidiaconus�avunculus meus Beraldus archidiaconus" donated property to Cluny by charter dated to [15 Feb 1023][144]which, if avunculus is used in its strict sense, indicates that the mother of archdeacon Humbert was the sister of archdeacon B�raud.� m HENRI Seigneur de Vergy, [illegitimate son of HENRI Duke of Burgundy & his mistress ---] (-before 1023).]�

Chapter 3.��� BAR-sur-SEINE

The county of Bar-sur-Seine was located south-east of Troyes, in the present-day French d�partement of Aube.� It lay within the pagus Latiscensis, within the diocese of Langres, and was co-terminous with the ecclesiastical doyenn�_of Bar-sur-Seine[172].� From [1046] at least, the county was held by the comtes de Tonnerre.� The bishops of Langres were suzerains of Bar-sur-Seine in the early 12th century: Pope Pascal II confirmed the possession of numerous castles to the bishop of Langres, including �...castrum Barrum super Sequanam..._�, by bull dated [1105][173].� It was later transmitted to the family of the comtes de Brienne by the marriage of Eustachie, sister of Hugues-Rainard Comte de Tonnerre et de Bar-sur-Seine, and Gauthier [I] Comte de Brienne.� It was inherited by Hugues [IV] du Puiset Vicomte de Chartres as a result of his marriage to Petronille, daughter of Milon de Brienne Comte de Bar-sur-Seine.� In 1220, the county was sold to the Comte de Champagne by the heirs of the Puiset family.

A.����� SEIGNEURS de CHACENAY

The village and castle of Chacenay is situated in the south-east of the county of Champagne, on the borders with the duchy of Burgundy in the present-day canton of Essoyes, 16 kilometres south-east of Bar-sur-Seine.� The bishops of Langres were suzerains of Chacenay in the early 12th century: Pope Pascal II confirmed the possession of numerous castles to the bishop of Langres, including �_...castrum Chacennaium..._�, by bull dated [1105][287].� A charter dated 23 Aug 1286, which confirms the division of the lands of Chacenay between "les quatre fr�res Jehan, Millet, Erars et Guillaume", confirms that Chacenay was the fief partly of the comte de Champagne and partly of the bishop of Langres[288].�

  1. ANSERIC .� Seigneur de Chacenay.� "Anserici domini de Cancenniaco" subscribed the charter dated 1083 under which Renard-Hugues Bishop of Langres confirmed the foundation of the abbey of Molesme[289].� Donations by "Anseric pater Milonis de Cacennaco" to the abbey of Molesme are recorded in a charter dated to [1076/1104][290].�m ---.� The name of Anseric's wife is not known.� A charter dated to [1075], recording the foundation of the abbey of Molesme, refers to donations including by "Hugo de Curtiruno et uxor eius Gersennis cum sorore sua Chacennacensi et liberis eius"[291].� It is possible therefore that she was --- de Courteron, daughter of ---, although the chronology could indicate that the person in question was the mother of Anseric de Chacenay.� Anseric & his wife had one child:�

a) MILON (-[1 Apr 1104/1107]).� "Milo autem filius ipsius Ansirici�cum uxore sua Adelaide et filio Hugone" donated property to the abbey of Molesme by charter dated to [1076/1104][292].�Seigneur de Chacenay.� "Milon de Chacenay" witnessed the charter dated 1 Apr 1104 under which Hugues Comte de Champagne donated revenue to Molesme[293].�m ADELAIDE, daughter of ---.� 1102/1107.� "Milo de Cacenniaco et Adelaidis uxor eius et filius eorum Hugo" donated property to the abbey of Molesme by charter dated 26 Dec, dated to [1084/1107][294].� Milon & his wife had two children:�

m (before 1146) [as her first husband,] AGNES[de Brienne, daughter of GAUTHIER [II] Comte de Brienne] & his [first/second] wife [---/Humbeline de Baud�ment] ([1122/25]-after 1191).� "Jacobus dominus de Cachennai", with the consent of "Agnetis uxoris mee", made donations to Basse-Fontaine on the suggestion of "Galteri Brenensium comitis et matris, uxoris eius, domine Agnetis de Baldimento et domine mee A Brenensium comitisse" by charter dated 1146[316].� The parentage of the wife of Jacques Seigneur de Chacenay is suggested by this document dated 1146.� It is also indicated by the charter dated 1174 under which the bishop of Troyes confirmed his judgment relating to "villa de Prait" which names her supposed brother "comitum de Brena Herardum" and is witnessed by "Andreas frater comitis, Erardus nepos eius de Chacenaio"[317].� One of the interpretations of this document is that "_Erardus nepos eius_[=of Erard [II] Comte de Brienne] de Chacenaio" was the nephew of Comte Erard because he was the son of his sister.� Another possible interpretation of the 1174 document, as explained in more detail in the chapter dealing with the comtes de Brienne, is that Erard de Chacenay was "nepos" of Erard [II] Comte de Brienne because of a relationship through the latter�s mother, Humbeline de Baud�ment, wife of Gauthier [II] Comte de Brienne.� In that case, Agnes must have been born from an otherwise unrecorded first marriage of her father.� However, this alternative interpretation does not satisfactorily explain the charter dated 1146 nor the entry of the name "Erard" into the Chacenay family after Agnes�s marriage, which certainly suggests that Agnes belonged to the family of the comtes de Brienne.� If Agnes�s parentage is correctly shown in the present document, she must have been one of her parents� oldest children.� "Agnes domina de Chacennaio�filiis suis Thoma et Ayrardo" made donations to the abbey of Mores by charter dated 1158, confirmed by "Henricus�Trecensis episcopus"[318].� She maybe married secondly Jean ---.� Her second marriage is suggested by the charter dated to [1179/83] under which "Agnes domine de Cachenanaio", with the consent of her unnamed children, made donations to Basse-Fontaine for the soul of "domini mei Jacobi�filius meus Erardus�quando perrexit Jerosolimam", witnessed by "Johannes dominus Cachanaii�"[319].� It is clear that "Jean seigneur de Chacenay" could not have been one of Agnes�s children by her first marriage.� One possible explanation of the charter is therefore that he was Agnes�s second husband, enjoying the title by right of his wife.� The testament of "Agnes�domina Cacenaii", dated to [1191] and made "coram�filiarum mearum M[argareta] domina Chanlotis et H. domina de Durnai", bequeathed land "apud Lusigniacum et apud Montem Susanum", previously held by "Jacobus filius domini Erardi Cacensi", to "filie mee M[argarete] domine Chanlotis", and property "apud Taneileres" to "filie domini H[ugonis] Vendopere" by charter dated to [1191][320].�

C.����� SEIGNEURS de CH�TILLON

Ch�tillon, now Ch�tillon-sur-Seine, is located about 40 kilometres due west of Langres, in the present-day French d�partement of C�te-d�Or, arrondissement Montbard, canton Ch�tillon-sur-Seine.� In early medieval times, the town was located in the pagus Latiscensis, in the area which later developed into the county of Bar-sur-Seine.� The nickname �Rufus�, first applied to Gosbert [I] de Ch�tillon in the mid-11th century presumably because of his red hair or complexion, was also used by some later members of this family.� It is unclear whether this was because they shared the same inherited hair or complexion colouring or whether the name had evolved into a family tradition.� The bishops of Langres were suzerains of Ch�tillon in the early 12th century: Pope Pascal II confirmed the possession of numerous castles to the bishop of Langres, including �_...castrum Castellionense..._�, by bull dated [1105][467].�

  1. GOSBERT [I] �Rufus� de Ch�tillon .� "Widonem de Grancyacho" donated his rights in "Tezam�apud Aquodium" [Teza d�Ahuy] to Saint-Etienne de Dijon, in the presence of "Gosbertus Rufus de Castelione et Scimaudus de Tylocastro", by undated charter, dated to the mid-11th century[468].�
