| 651 | William (Sir); Marshal of Scotland, Sheriff of Kincardine 1357-59; married by 3 May 1351 Margaret, daughter of John Fraser and granddaughter of Sir Alexander Fraser by Mary, sister of Robert I, and died between 13 May 1407 and 2 June 1413, having had [John, Sir Robert] (with several daughters including Christiana, married Sir William Lindsay of the Byres; Muriel, married as his 2nd wife 1st Duke of Albany).

| 652 | William d'Aubigny, Seigneur of Aubigny (subsequently Saint-Martin d'Aubigny), Normandy; married by 1048 sister of Grimald de Plessis. [Burke's Peerage] --------------------------------- Aubigny, Alibini, etc., Earls of Arundel Saint-Martin d'Aubigny: Manche, arr. Coutances, cant. Periers. The early history of the family will be found in The Complete Peerage, surname Mowbray, new ed., vol. ix, pp. 366-7. The details of their benefactions to the abbey of Lessay as confirmed by a charter of Henry II, 1185-1188, identify St-Martin d'Aubigny with the Aubigny which was the caput of their Norman honour; thus the "ecclesiam de Folgeriis" is Feugeres 2 1/2 kil. SE of Aubigny, the "feria Sancti Christofori" mentioned in conjunction with the "forum Albinneii" is St-Christophe-d'Aubigny, a parish now united to that of St-Martin, and "Marchesis" is Marchesieux, 5 kil. NE of Aubigny. There is no trace of a feudal castle at Aubigny itself, but Gerville found nearby at Le Mesnil-Vigot the remains of a considerable castle with a well-defined motte, then known as "le chateau de St-Clair". [Origins of Some Anglo-Norman Families] --------------------------------- The following info was provided in a post-em by Curt Hofemann, curt_hofemann@yahoo.com: A few more dribs & brabs: Seigneur of Aubigny (Albiniacum) [Ref: CP IX:366, Holloway p20] (in conjunction with son Roger) benefactor of the Abbey of Lessay [Ref: CP IX:366] William d'Aubigny, first of the name, married the sister of Grimoult [Ref: McBride citing the Harleian Society, Vol 80, "Knights of Edward I" Vol 1 (A to E), with additions from Crispin and Macary, p6-7] William d'Aubigny, of St. Martin d'Aubigny, who married the sister of Grimauld de Plessis, (some reconstructions make him older brother instead) [Ref: TAF 21 May 2002] Note: the village of Saint Martin d'Aubigny is 16 km. west of St-Lo and 15 km. north of Coutances, in Normandy.

| 655 | WILLIAM DE ROUMARE, Seigneur of Roumare (near Rouen), son of Roger FITZGEROLD (c), by Lucy, "the Countess," was born circa 1096. [Complete Peerage VII:667, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)] (c) He [Roger FitzGerold] and Lucy his wife gave the church of Asgarby to the canons of Lincoln. His obit was kept at Lincoln on 15 July. He witnessed an undated charter of his brother Robert to le Bec, which charter is confirmed by an undated charter of Robert's nephew William de Roumare, who calls Robert his predecessor. Robert had Corfe and other estates in 1086 and was living in 1096. Roger and Robert were sons of Gerold "Miles Christi", who with consent of Robert his son and heir gave to the nuns of St. Amand, Rouen, the church of Roumare for the soul of his wife Aubreye, who d. 21 May. Among the witnesses are Radulfus frater Geroudi and Osbertus de Novoforo (Neufmarche), who also attest another grant by the same Gerold to St. Amand in the presence of William, King of the English. Gerold, the Seneschal witnessed charters in 1055, 1063, and 1066, and circia 1064 Duke William established Gerold "dapifer" as Castellan of Neufmarche. Gerold de Neufmarche is witness to a charter of William I dated Apr 1067. The appearance of Osbern de Neufmarche as witness to the two charters of Gerold "Miles Christi" mentioned above, when taken in conjunction with the fact that his descendants were Castellans of Neufmarche, establishes the identity of the two Gerolds. Note: Apparently Roger was the younger son, while Robert, the elder, inherited the Normandy estates. I assume that Robert may have been son of an earlier Norman wife. William, Roger's son, apparently inherited Roumare from Robert, who may not have had issue; yet other descendants inherited Neufmarche? | De Roumare, Seigneur Roger Fitzgerold (I70360)

| 656 | WILLIAM DE VESCY, son and heir, by 1st wife, adopted his mother's name of Vescy, by which he and his successors were known. He was Sheriff of Northumberland, 1157-70, and of the Honor of Lancaster, 1166-70. At the Inquest of 1166 his carta showed that his tenants held of him 26 knights' fees, plus one third and one seventh of a fee. When William the Lion invaded Northern England in 1174 and laid siege to de Vescy's own castle of Alnwick, he was one of those who, after a forced march, raised the siege, 13 July, and took the Scottish King prisoner. On 16 March 1176/7, when Henry II arbitrated between the Kings of Castile and Navarre, he was among the witnesses of the award. He was a benefactor of many religious houses. He married, before 1169-71, Burga, daughter of Robert DE STUTEVILLE, by his wife Helewise. Having taken the habit of a monk at Alnwick Abbey, he died shortly before Michaelmas 1183 and was buried near the door of the Chapter House there. His widow, who was living in 1185, was buried with him. [Complete Peerage XII/2:274-5, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)] | De Vescy, William (I71266)

| 659 | William Malet, of Granville, Normandy; also held lands in Lincs before 1066 (possibly by virtue of his mother's putative status of Englishwoman); granted the feudal Barony of Eye, Suffolk, following the Conquest, in which he was one of William I's chief lieutenants, being allegedly given the task by William of burying Harold's body after Hastings; Sheriff of Yorks 1068; married Hesilia Crispin (living 1086), gggdau of Rollo The Dane, Duke of Normandy, and died c1071. [Burke's Peerage] --------------------------------------------------- William, according to some, was grandson of Lady Godiva & brother of Harold Godwyn's wife, while not necessarily entirely true, probably there was some relationship. I have William's mother as a daughter of Godiva's husband Leofric Earl of Mercia, by an earlier wife or mistress. There is conjecture that William's father one of the men who accompanied Emma of Normandy to England in 1002 for her marriage with Aethelred. --------------------------------------------------- According to Crispin and Macary, "William (Guillaume) Malet de Graville stands out as one of the most imposing figures at the Conquest. There can be no doubt about his presence there, which is subscribed to by William of Poitiers, Guy of Amiens, Orderic Vital, and all the historians of this epoch. So much has been placed on record concerning him that just a few facts of his life will be recited here. He was probably descended from Gerard, a Scandinavian prince and companion of Duke Rollo, which gave the name of the fief of Gerardville or Graville, near Havre. Robert, the eldest son, occurs in a document of about 990 in Normandy. On his mother's side William Malet was of Anglo-Saxon origin, for she was probably the daughter of Leofric, Earl of Mercia, and Godwa or Godgifu, the supposed sister of Thorold the Sheriff in the time of Edward the Confessor, and therefore the aunt of Edwin and Morcar, Earls of Northumberland. He was nearly killed in the battle of Hastings but was rescued by the sire de Montfort and William of Vieuxpont, and was appointed by William the Conqueror to take charge of the body of Harold, a statement that has been disputed. The consensus of opinion favors it, and it is most logical if William Malet's mother was as stated the sister of Algar II., 7th Earl of Mercia, who was the father of Alditha, wife of Harold. He accompanied King William at the reduction of Nottingham and York in 1068, for which he was rewarded with the shreivalty of land in that county. Gilbert de Gand and Robert Fitz Richard were also commanders in this expedition. The following year he was besieged in the castle of York by Edgar, the Saxon prince, and was only saved from surrender by the timely arrival of the Conqueror. In the same year he was attacked by the Danes, who captured the city of York with great slaughter and took William Malet, his wife and children, prisoners, but their lives were spared, as was that of Gilbert de Gand, for the sake of their ransoms. There is evidence that he was slain in this year, but it is uncertain and the date of his death is unknown. An entry in Domesday that "William Malet was seized of this place (Cidestan, Co. Suffolk), where he proceeded on the King's service where he died," would indicate that his death occurred during the compilation of that book. He was witness to a charter of King William to the church of St. Martin-le-Grand, in London, and is there styled "princeps," which title, however, was honorary and not hereditary, having ceased with his death." ------------------------------------------ William Malet, or Guillaume, as he may have been called, "Sire de Graville", came from Graville Sainte Honorine between Le Havre and Harfleur, in what is today the French province of Normandy. He is said to have had a Norman father and a Saxon (read English) mother, and had some sort of association with King Harold of England before the conquest. William, through his Saxon mother, may actually have been related to King Harold, and also to the well known Lady Godiva. It is also possible that William and Harold were both God fathers of Duke William of Normandy's daughter, Abela. The Malet Castle at Graville Sainte Honorine had an important strategic location, at the mouth of the Seine. It has now fallen into the sea, though some remnants of it may still be visible. A large section of wall with large iron rings attached was still there just over 100 years ago. The Abbey church, in which some of the Malets are buried, is now in the town of Le Havre. Though William Malet had connections to both sides in the conflict to come, his main allegiance was to Duke William of Normandy. William fought with distinction at Hastings, as the following Excerpt from Wace's "Roman de Rou" attests: William whom they call Mallet, Boldly throws himself among them; With his flashing sword Against the English he makes furious onset; But his shield they clove, And his horse beneath him killed, And himself they would have slain, When came the Sire de Montfort And Lord William de Vez-Pont With the great force which they had, Him they bravely rescued. There many of their men they lost; Mallet they remounted on the field On a fresh war-horse. When the battle was over, Duke William entrusted William Malet to attend to the burial of the dead English king. The body was buried under a heap of stones on top of a cliff at Hastings overlooking the shore that Harold had so bravely defended. William placed a stone on the grave with the epitaph: "By command of the Duke, you rest here a King, O Harold, that you may be guardian still of the shore and sea". This burial of Harold was only temporary and the body was later re-buried at Harold's Abbey at Waltham. William and his brother Durand held lands in Lincolnshire, England, during the reign of Edward the Confessor, and through the reign of Harold right up to the conquest, in addition to those in Normandy. These Lincolnshire holdings, all in the Danelaw, probably came from William and Durand's mother. After the conquest William's English holdings were greatly increased, again, principally in the Danelaw, as English lands were taken from their Saxon owners and handed over to Norman Barons. It is likely that Duke William conferred these estates on William, partly because of his loyalty and skill in battle, but also because of his prior connections with his Danish "cousins" there. Perhaps the Duke felt that William was the best man to bring these proud, warlike and independent settlers under the control of their new King. William was dead at the time of the Domesday survey in 1086, but the holdings at that time of his son Robert, and of his wife, give a good indication of the extent of his estates. He held large parts of what are today Suffolk and Norfolk, with smaller amounts of land in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. Eye, in Suffolk appears to have been William's stronghold. Here he built a Motte and Bailey castle, after the Norman fashion. Nothing remains of the Norman fortifications, but the outline of the baileys and "Castle Mound", are still evident. There is even a slight indication of where the Market, founded by William Malet under Royal License would have been held. William married Hesilia Crispin, by whom he had two sons, Robert and Gilbert, and one daughter, Beatrice. Robert and possibly Gilbert, along with their uncle Durand, accompanied their father at the battle of Hastings. The arms shown at the top of the page, likely carried by the Malets at Hastings, were used by many generations of the Malet family, both in England and in France, and can be seen on the Bayeux tapestry. William was made Sheriff of York and granted considerable lands in Yorkshire following the building of the first Norman castle there (the mound now supports 'Clifford's Tower') in 1068. He and his fellow captains, Robert Fitz-Richard and William of Ghent, with 500 picked knights had to fight off a local revolt, headed by Edgar the Atheling; this in or shortly after January 1069. Robert Fitz-Richard and many of his men were killed and it was only by the timely arrival of King William that the City was saved. The natives remained restless and had another, token go, as soon as King William left but were quickly put down. The troops were strengthened and another castle built on the other side of the river from the original but, notwithstanding, in September 1069, William, his wife and two of his children were captured by a combined force of Danes and English under Sweyn of Denmark supported by Earls Waltheof and Gospatric and the Northumbrians, when York fell to them after a terrible fight. This led to King William ordering the burning and killing of everything in the north and Domesday, even 16 years later, records most of northern England as still being waste and uninhabited. William, his wife and two children must have been released some time later and William retained most of his lands apart from those in Yorkshire, which will have come with the office of Sheriff, which had been taken from him. At some point the King awarded William the appellation of "Princep", and in the Chart granted by the King to the church of St. Martin le Grand, his signature appears as "Wilielmus Malet Princep". In the context of the times, Princep would likely have been interpreted as "leader, or chief". William is believed to have died fighting "Hereward the Wake" in the Fens near Ely Cathedral, which lies between South Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk (and in the middle of the Malet holdings), in 1071. The Domesday book records that "...He went into the marsh", and that "...he went on the King's service, where he died". William is generally accepted to be the progenitor of many of the various branches of the Malet family (those that can trace their lines back that far), both in England and in France. The descendants of Durand continued to hold lands in Lincolnshire, and are recorded in Irby on Humber up to the 16th century. ----------------------------------------- NORMAN SHERIFFS By 1066, when William the Conqueror seized power, he replaced all of the existing sheriffs with his own loyal comrades in arms. When William conveyed the offices of sheriff to his Normans, he also bestowed to them the title "Vicomte," which added nobility to their positions. He allowed Vicomte sheriffs to build castles, a powerful symbol of privilege and a far greater honor than had ever been granted to prior Anglo-Saxon sheriffs. The castles were a sign of aggressive force. This fortification symbolism helped identify William as the incomparable authority in the newly conquered land. The most famous William the Conqueror sheriff was a man named William Malet, a ferocious warrior. During the Battle of Hasting his horse was killed from under him. Mounting a fresh horse, he continued leading the charge, killing the enemy along the way, to a Norman victory. William continued to use Malet to crush insurgent forces within his reign.. . . As a reward, William named Malet the sheriff of Yorkshire. King William sought aggressive types for the office of sheriff whose ambitions were consistent with his. Those willing to squeeze the peasants to their maximum were the best qualified in William's eyes. He instituted the practice of selling the office to the highest bidder. This brought forth evil men willing to pay exorbitant prices for the office and then willing to do whatever it took to recoup their investment. . . No one spoke out for the peasantry because their only representative to the king was the very sheriffs embezzling them. The most notorious was Picot, Sheriff of Cambridgeshire. . . . Monks describe him as: a hungry lion, a prowling wolf, a crafty fox, a filthy swine, a dog without shame, who stuffed his belly like an insatiable beast as though the whole country were a single corpse. If events reduced production within the shires and thereby reduced the prosperity of King William, the sheriff was then forced to press the peasants even more to make up for the deficiency. In 1083, William levied the highest tax assessment of his reign to make up for the previous year's famine and low production. . . . To enhance their income, sheriffs commonly pillaged Church properties. . . . The only coin in circulation in twelfth century England was the silver penny. It was the responsibility of the sheriff to police the silver content in the coinage. If the sheriff failed to see that the tender did not meet quality assurance in the amount of silver content versus the alloy percentage, he was held personally liable for the shortage. Because this burden was placed on the sheriffs in the area that effected them the most, their pocketbooks. . . .Enforcement of the matter was particularly unkind under the reign of King Henry II to punish offenders that circulated "bastard" coins. The first offense routinely resulted in the severing of a hand or castration. . . . The coming of King John in 1199 brought about one of the most stirring periods in the history of the medieval sheriff. . . . As King John waged war against the Welsh, the French, and the Irish, he placed the emphasis upon the sheriffs to finance his wars. . . . Because of the sheriff's authority and ability to raise funds, the 13th century saw the sheriff as the most powerful administrative force in medieval England. . . . King John personally knew every one of the 100 or so sheriffs that he appointed between 1199 and 1216. Some were his intimate friends and most trusted advisors. In contrast to the prior practice of King Richard, he appointed only two members of the Church to the post. He instead chose to select intense, secular men, with strong military backgrounds. . . . His deliberate selection of men of harsh demeanor . . . was considered by people of his time as a substantive answer for the difficult issues of the day . . . tough men for tough times. . . | De Graville, William I Malet (I70350)

| 665 | William, was sixteen when he succeeded his father, Archibald. His holdings and power were great enough to garner the enmity of then Chancellor Sir William Crichton, who used his position with the boy King, James II, to get to Douglas. In November of 1440 the 6th Earl and his brother, David, were guests of the King in Edinburgh Castle. After dining with the King both Douglases were seized by Crichton and his allies, hastily tried for treason and immediately executed. It is said that as the last course of the meal Crichton set a black bull's head in front of the doomed brothers as a symbol of their impending death. For this reason the event earned the name of the "Black Bull's Dinner". Sir Walter Scott penned the following lines in remembrance of the murders, "Edinburgh Castle, toune and towre, God grant thou sink for sin! And that e'en for the black dinner Earl Douglas gat therein." As there was no heir at the time of the 6th Earl's murder, the Dukedom of Touraine reverted to the King of France, the Lordship of Galloway was inherited by Margaret, the late Earl's sister, while Annandale, as a male fief, reverted to the Crown. The Earldom of Douglas was passed to his Great-Uncle. | Douglas, William 6Th Earl Of (I70176)

| 666 | William; of age by 1160; seems to have died in or after 1204, having had, with two younger sons (William de Moravia (ie.

| 667 | [From Burke's Peerage-see source for details] An undoubted Earl of Gloucester, perhaps the first authentic one, at any rate after the Conquest, is Robert FitzHamon's son-in-law, another Robert, who was an illegitimate son of Henry I and was so created 1122. The Earldom passed to his eldest son, William FitzRobert, and from him to John, later King John and husband from 1189 to 1199 (when he divorced her) of Isabel, the youngest of William FitzRobert's three daughters. On John's coming to the throne the title did not merge in the Crown for it was not his in his own right but in right of his wife. | Fitzhammon, Robert (I53506)

| 668 | [g] Roger, son of Count Rodulf married, in Spain, Stephanie, sister of Raymond Berenger; which lady afterwards m. Garsias, King of Spain. This agrees with the statement of Ademar, that he m. a da. (unnamed) of the widowed Ermensede, Countess of Barcelona, the mother of Raymond abovenamed. If this Roger were Roger de Toeni, he married Godeheut while his 1st wife was alive, and Stephanie m. Garsias III, King of Navarre, while Roger was living. [Complete Peerage XII/1:756 note (g)] --------------------------------- Note: Roger Toeni's 1st wife, Stephanie, is questioned by some; especially her 2nd marriage to Garcias of Spain while Toeni was still alive. I agree that it does not make much sense. However, Roger was fighting battles in Spain and could have "married" a Spanish lady whom he later "divorced" when he returned to Normandy. It has been speculated that Stephanie was mother of Robert de Toeni of Belvoir (as opposed to the younger son Robert de Stafford) and of a Berenger de Toeni, whose ancestry is not known, but is likely (especially with the name) to be a son of Roger & Stephanie. -------------------------------- Following copied from a post by Bryant Smith to the soc.genealogy.medieval newgroup, which supports my take on Garcia's wife: From: Bryant Smith (skip31@racsa.co.cr) Subject: STEPHANIE OF BARCELONA AND HER FOURFATHERS Newsgroups: soc.genealogy.medieval Date: 2001-12-12 09:14:14 PST "Success has a thousand fathers but failure is an orphan" (JFK, misquoting Count Galeazzo Ciano's "Victory finds a thousand fathers but defeat is always an orphan") and by that measure Estafania was moderately successful, for she has found at least four fathers. These four alternative fathers, with samples of their sponsors, are: 1. Bernard-Roger de Foix. Said by TAF to be the "traditional" one, and found as such in ES and, probably based on that, in Brian Tomsett's database, in the Theroff text files, in the Roglo database, and elsewhere. As recently as July 14, 1999, TAF was able to write "... all Iberian works with which I am familiar (and as recent as 1996) are united in calling the Queen of Navarre the daughter, not of Ramon Borrel and Ermesende, but of her brother Bernard, Count of Bigorre, and sister of the Queen of Aragon." This is vintage TAF obscurantism, but becomes clear when you read "Queen of Navarre" as Sephanie the wife of Garcia IV/V Sanchez of Navarre and "Queen of Aragon" as Gerberge, undoubted daughter of Bernard-Roger and wife of Ramiro I Sanchez of Aragon, 2. Ramon I Borel of Barcelona, husband of the Ermesinda rejected by all Iberian works with which TAF was familiar in mid-1999. This past December 8 TAF wrote that the Roger-Bernard paternity "is based on a late source, and a more contemporary one calls her daughter of the Countess Ermesende. (This Catalonian variant has only become popular within the last several years.)" Tempora mutantur et nos in eis mutamur? 3. Ramon Berenguer I of Barcelona, grandson son of Ramon I Borel and Ermesinda. Keats-Rohan is said to have called him the father of Stephanie in K S B Keats-Rohan *Domesday People: A Prosopography of Persons occurring in English Documents,1066-1166* (The Boydell Press: Woodbridge, 1999), according to Richard Borthwick who said in this NG, January 14 1999 (in an annotated AT of William (II) d' Aubigny of Belvoir) that "The wife of Roger was Estefania/Stephanie (not Adelaide) sister of Ramon Berenguer I and not his daughter as claimed by Keats-Rohan." 4. Berenguer Ramon I of Barcelona, son of #2 and father of #3. This is Borthwick's horse and is, incidentally, also backed by a pre-1996 Iberian work with which TAF was evidentally unfamiliar in 1999, even though it had been mentioned in this NG on 19 January 1997 by Valerio P. Lucchinetti: "According to Diccionario de Historia de Espana, dir.by German Bleiberg, Madrid 1979, Queen Estefania, wife of King Garcia IV of Navarre (k.a.Atapuerca 1054) was the dau. of Ct Berenguer Ramon I of Barcelona and she married King Garcia in Barcelona in 1038." It is striking that three generations of the counts of Barcelona find places at the starting gate. Perhaps for want of reliable dates of births and marriages (death dates are fairly well-established but not dispositive of the issue), there is no apparent chronological impossibility to lay against any of the runners. Bernard de Foix, as a brother of Ermesinda, must have been roughly contemporary with her and with her husband Ramon I Borel. Since historians and genealogists were evidently comfortable with Bernard until quite recently, it must be supposed that the chronology raised no eyebrows, and hence we could say that Ramon Borel should be equally welcome on any chronological grounds, and that in some sense a burden of persuasion increases as we drag Stephanie forward in time from that generation's children. It would be nice to know more about the "more contemporary" source TAF mentions which calls Stephanie the daughter of Ermesinde; however I suppose it is not conclusive, otherwise TAF would not have treated Bernard-Roger de Foix as still in the race, as he recently did, as we shall see in a moment. Maria Emma Escobar has given us a priceless document in Stephanie's will. She posted it as definitive of the children of Stephanie but in the present context it is the names themselves that are of crucial importance, for as TAF has elaborated, the heirs all appear to be namesakes of fairly near relations of Stephanie or of Garcia. The will mentions eight children, six of them having names found among the relations of Garcia. Here is what TAF found, converting the relation-labels' referents from the children to Garcia: Sancho - Garcia's father Mayor - Garcia's mother Ramiro - Garcia's brother Fernando - Garcia's brother Jimena - Garcia's sister (or his paternal grandmother) Urraca - Garcia's maternal grandmother The other two legatees were named Ermesinda and Raymond/Ramon (lit. Regummendo), and they seem to be related to Stephanie rather than Garcia, but the relationship depends on who her father was. The first and most appealing case is that they were her own mother and father. This would balance the inclusion of Garcia's parents in the name-list of the will. If instead her father was Berenguer Ramon I, then they would be her father (or paternal grandfather) and her paternal grandmother. If her father was Ramon Berenguer, then they would be her great-grand parents on the paternal-paternal side, but in this case the same Urraca who was Garcia's maternal grandmother would also be Stephanie's maternal grandmother. Finally, if Stephanie's father was Bernard-Roger de Foix: Ermesinda would appear as Stephanie's paternal aunt and Raymond as her paternal uncle. (TAF discusses and summarizes in this NG on 16 July 1998, Stasser, Thierry, Autour de Roger de Vieux: les alliances matrimoniales des comtes de Carcassonne, Annales du Midi, 108:165-187, wherein, according to TAF's summary, Bernard is shownto have had siblings: Arsinde m. William, Count of Beziers; Ermessinde; Raymond; Peter; and a sister m. William Amelius.) On the basis of finding a Raymond among the siblings of Bernard and Ermessinde, TAF suggests that the roster of legatees in Stephanie's will "tends to slightly favor the placement of Estefania as daughter of Raymond Borrell and Ermesenda. However, not strongly, because the Foix alternative would make Raymond named for paternal uncle and Ermesenda for paternal aunt. Still, I would have expected to see the grandparents' names." I think the case is much more emphatic than that, that the absence of Bernard-Roger's parents' names (Roger, Adelaide) is not just unexpected but downright telling, especially where one of the alternatives offers her parents' names, another those of her grand-parents, and a third those of her great-grand-parents. Her husband's siblings were included in the honors list but none of his aunts or uncles. If Stephanie was the daughter of de Foix she had at least four siblings -- Bernard, Gerberge, Clemence, Pierre -- who would have had stature exactly equal to the siblings of Garcia but none of whose names she appears to have given to any of her children. Some caution may be called for in drawing conclusions from the names in Stephanie's will; I may be reading too much into her choices of names for her children (if it was she who made the choices). But to the extent that the "Garcia side" of the will shows six namesakes closely related to him, the hobgoblin of small minds would call, along with TAF, for a consistency on Stephanie's side. Finally, when she married Garcia, King of Navarre, she did so, not in Navarre and not in France but in Barcelona. Or at least so says the Diccionario de Historia de Espana, anyway that's what Valerio P. Lucchinetti said it says. A Barcelona wedding would make sense for a daughter of a Count of Barcelona, but would seem a strange venue for a daughter of a count of Bigorre, Foix or Commignes. The paternity of Stephanie appears to me to be a good occasion for balancing the desire to put a name in a blank space in a pedigree against the desire to learn and take advantage of the educated opinions of experts who do not agree unanimously. In recent discussions here of that issue I took the position that using the software's capacity to allow for multiple parents was better than "NN" or "Unknown" with a note showing the alternatives, because there is a qualitative difference between "totally unknown [we haven't a clue]" and "subject of discussion." I received several useful suggestions for which I am grateful, but my solution will be to enter my choice of most likely parents (Ramon Borel and Ermesinda) as "preferred" parents with "natural" filiation, and to tack on the other sets of possible parents with "unknown" filiations, with appropriate notes on all the alternative parents. In this way the pedigrees (as far as I have them) of all of them will be not only preserved in the database but will not be unattached fragments, and if ever the balance educated opinions of experts changes it will be relatively easy to change the filiations, and in the meantime to give further attention to the implications of the alternatives by simply changing temporarily the "preferred" set of parents.

(1) ca. 1156, Rohaise, daughter of William de Rumare, and widow of Gilbert de Gaunt, who d. 1156. Gilbert was Steward to Henry II, in France 1180-89, and later to Richard I; was justice of the King's Court 1185, sheriff of Lancashire 1205-1216, and of Yorkshire 1209-1212, and d. bef. 13 Jun 1220. His father Roger Fitz Reinfrid, was witness to the King's will, Judge 1176, 1198, sheriff of Sussex 1176, and of Berkshire 1186-7. [Ancestral Roots, line 88-27] Note: According to CP, Gilbert de Gaunt/Gand/Gant did NOT marry Rohaise de Rumare. Gilbert de Gant married Rohese de Clare, and she married as her 2nd husband Robert FitzRobert, Sewer of William Percy. I have Hawise (Rohasie/Rohese) de Roumare as mother of Gilbert FitzReinfrid, and I believe that she married Gilbert's father, Roger FitzReinfrid, about 1156. | Fitzreinfrid, Gilbert (I70324)

| 672 | "Aeldred or Aldred, Anglo-Saxon Archbishop of York from 1060, played an important part in the secular politics of teh time of the Norman conquest, and legitimized the rule of William the Conqueror by crowning him King on Christmas day 1066. Ealdred became abbott of Tavistock, Devon, about 1027, and Bishop of Worcester in 1046. Made Archbishop of York by Pope Nicholas II, he was forced by Nicholas' successor, Alexander II, to relinquish the see of Worcester in 1062. As archbishop he did considerable ecclesiastical building in the city of York and elsewhere. In 1054, Ealdred went to Germany to negociate with the Emperor Henry III the return from Hungary of the heir to the English throne, Edward, son of Edmund Ironside. He probably crowned Harold II as King of the English (6 jan 1066). After the battle of Hastings (14 October 1066) Ealdred was among those who wished to elect Edgard the Aetheling as successor to the slain Harold, but he soon joined Edgar in declaring allegiance to William I. With approval from the papacy, Ealdred crowned the new King in Westminster Abbey." [Encyclop | Of Bernicia (I74114)

| 673 | "And now I shall add Menander the Ephesian, as an additional witness. This Menander wrote the Acts that were done both by the Greeks and Barbarians, under every one of the Tyrian kings, and had taken much pains to learn their history out of their own records. Now when he was writing about those kings that had reigned at Tyre, he came to Hirom, and says thus: "Upon the death of Abibalus, his son Hirom took the kingdom; he lived fifty-three years, and reigned thirty-four. He raised a bank on that called the Broad Place, and dedicated that golden pillar which is in Jupiter's temple; he also went and cut down timber from the mountain called Libanus, and got timber Of cedar for the roofs of the temples. He also pulled down the old temples, and built new ones; besides this, he consecrated the temples of Hercules and of Astarte. He first built Hercules's temple in the month Peritus, and that of Astarte when he made his expedition against the Tityans, who would not pay him their tribute; and when he had subdued them to himself, he returned home. Under this king there was a younger son of Abdemon, who mastered the problems which Solomon king of Jerusalem had recommended to be solved." Now the time from this king to the building of Carthage is thus calculated: "Upon the death of Hirom, Baleazarus his son took the kingdom; he lived forty-three years, and reigned seven years: after him succeeded his son Abdastartus; he lived twenty-nine years, and reigned nine years. Now four sons of his nurse plotted against him and slew him, the eldest of whom reigned twelve years: after them came Astartus, the son of Deleastartus; he lived fifty-four years, and reigned twelve years: after him came his brother Aserymus; he lived fifty-four years, and reigned nine years: he was slain by his brother Pheles, who took the kingdom and reigned but eight months, though he lived fifty years: he was slain by Ithobalus, the priest of Astarte, who reigned thirty-two years, and lived sixty-eight years: he was succeeded by his son Badezorus, who lived forty-five years, and reigned six years: he was succeeded by Matgenus his son; he lived thirty-two years, and reigned nine years: Pygmalion succeeded him; he lived fifty-six years, and reigned forty-seven years. Now in the seventh year of his reign, his sister fled away from him, and built the city Carthage in Libya." So the whole time from the reign of Hirom, till the building of Carthage, amounts to the sum of one hundred fifty-five years and eight months. Since then the temple was built at Jerusalem in the twelfth year of the reign of Hirom, there were from the building of the temple, until the building of Carthage, one hundred forty-three years and eight months. Wherefore, what occasion is there for alleging any more testimonies out of the Phoenician histories [on the behalf of our nation], since what I have said is so thoroughly confirmed already? and to be sure our ancestors came into this country long before the building of the temple; for it was not till we had gotten possession of the whole land by war that we built our temple. And this is the point that I have clearly proved out of our sacred writings in my Antiquities." (Against Apion 1:18) | Of Tyre And Sidon, King Ethbaal (I62719)
