Louis VIII

Crowned with Blanche at Reims on 6th of August, 1223. He died at Montpensier-en-Auvergne, buried at Saint Denis. Blanche served as regent to 1252, died at Paris.


Louis VI The Fat

First Capetian king to influence outside his territory. Defeated the alliance between Henry I Beauclerc of England and Emperor Henry V, stopping German invasion in 1124. Added territory south of the Loire  (Aquitane) by marrying his son Louis VII ,the Younger King of France to Eleanor of Aquitaine, heiress to Aquitane, preventing menace from the direction of Geoffrey V Count of Anjou who married Henry's daughter Matilda, Princess of England.

The crown passed to Louis VII ,the Younger King of France, who inspired the second crusade and was a supporter of Thomas Beckett.

King of France from 1108 to 1137. A member of the Capetian Dynasty, Louis was born in Paris, the son of Philip I and his first wife, Bertha of Holland. Almost all of his 29-year reign was spent fighting either the "robber barons" who plagued Paris or the Norman kings of England for their continental possession of Normandy. Nonetheless, Louis VI managed to reinforce his power considerably and endeared himself to the working classes of France. He is one of the first strong kings of France since the division of the Carolingian Empire.

In his youth, Louis fought the duke of Normandy, Robert Curthose, and the lords of the royal demesne, the Île de France. He became close to Suger, who became his adviser. He succeeded his father on his death on July 29, 1108. Louis's half-brother prevented him from reaching Rheims and so he was crowned on August 3 in the cathedral of Orléans. The archbishop of Rheims, Ralph the Green, sent envoys to challenge the validity of the coronation and anointing, but to no avail.

On Palm Sunday 1115, Louis was present in Amiens to support the bishop and inhabitants of the city in their conflict with Enguerrand I of Coucy, one of his vassals, who refused to recognize the granting of a charter of communal privileges. Louis came with an army to help the citizens to besiege Castillon (the fortress dominating the city, from which Enguerrand was making punitive expeditions). At the siege, the king took an arrow to his hauberk, but the castle, considered impregnable, fell after two years.

Louis VI died on August 1, 1137 at the castle of Béthisy-Saint-Pierre, nearby Senlis and Compiègne, of dysentery caused by his excesses, which had made him obese. He was interred in Saint Denis Basilica. He was succeeded on the throne by his son Louis VII, called "the Younger," who had originally wanted to be a monk.


Louis II "The Stammerer"

His sons divided his territory:

Carloman gotAquitane, Septimania, and Burgundy
Louis III got Neustria

Records differ for wives and children.

First wife Ansgarde of Burgundy, had two sons: Carloman and Louis, and two daughters: Gisela and Hildegarde. He had no children by his second wife, Luitgarde of Saxony. With his third wife, Adelaide of Paris, he had one daughter, Ermentrude, and a posthumous son, Charles the Simple, king of France.

eldest son of Charles the Bald and Ermentrude of Orléans. He succeeded his younger brother in Aquitaine in 866 and his father in France in 877, though he was never crowned Emperor.

Thrice married, he and his first wife, Ansgarde of Burgundy, had two sons: Carloman and Louis, both of whom became kings of France, and two daughters: Gisela and Hildegarde. He had no children by his second wife, Luitgarde of Saxony. With his third wife, Adelaide of Paris, he had one daughter, Ermentrude, and a posthumous son, Charles the Simple, who would become, long after his elder brothers' deaths, king of France.

He was crowned on 8 December 877 by Hincmar, archbishop of Rheims, and was crowned a second time in September 878 by Pope John VIII at Troyes while the pope was attending a council there. The pope may even have offered the imperial crown, but it was declined. Louis the Stammerer was said to be physically weak and outlived his father by only two years. He had relatively little impact on politics. In 878, he gave the counties of Barcelona, Gerona, and Besalú to Wilfred the Hairy. His final act was to march against the Vikings who were then the scourge of Europe. He fell ill and died on 10 April or 9 April 879 not long after beginning his final campaign. He was called "a simple and sweet man, a lover of peace, justice, and religion". On his death, his realms were divided between his two sons, Carloman and Louis.


Louis I The Pious, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire

Educated at the Palace School, crowned within his father's lifetime. Very religious, allowed second crowing by the Pope in 816.

781 Crowned King of Aquitane by the Pope

Sons: Louis the German, Pepin and half brother Charles the Bald

Pepin got Aquitane and parts of Septimanis
Louis got Bavaria and marches to the east
Louis and Lothair got German and Gallic Francia and Burgundy
Charles got Neustria then Aquitane when Pepin died
Italy went to a separate sub king

Born in Casseuil-sur-Garonne, in today's Gironde, France, the third son of Charlemagne, Louis was crowned king of Aquitaine as a child and sent there with regents and a court to rule in order to quiet rebellions which were forming after Charlemagne's defeat by the Moors in Spain.

Like most Frankish men Louis had expected to share his inheritance with his brothers, Charles the Younger and Pepin (born Carloman), King of Italy. (Charlemagne's first-born son, Pepin the Hunchback, had come to be considered illegitimate according to the changing standards of the time, and, after an unsuccessful coup plot was uncovered in 792, was sent to a monastery for life.) In the Divisio Regnorum (806), Charlemagne had slated Charles the Younger as his successor as emperor and king of the Frankish heartland, while adding Septimania, Provence, and part of Burgundy to Louis's own kingdom of Aquitaine for his portion.

But, in the event, Charlemagne's other legitimate sons died, Pepin in 810 and Charles in 811, and Louis was crowned co-emperor with Charlemagne in 813. On his father's death in 814, he inherited the entire Frankish kingdom and all its possessions. He was crowned emperor by Pope Stephen V in Reims in 816. Louis used Benedict of Aniane, a Septimanian Visigothic nobleman and monastic founder to help him reform the Frankish church. One of Benedict's primary reforms was to ensure that all religious houses in Louis' realm adhered to the Rule of St Benedict, named for its creator, Benedict of Nursia (AD 480-550).

Shortly after his accession, he secured his position as emperor in a "moral purge," in which he sent all of his illegitimate half-brothers to monasteries and all of his unmarried sisters to nunneries. In 817, his nephew Bernard, King of Italy, rebelled against his overlordship, and after suppressing the rebellion, he had Bernard blinded and imprisoned. Bernard died the next year. As a deeply religious man, however, Louis wanted to make penance for causing Bernard's death, and did so at Attigny in 822, in front of the nobles of the realm. This act greatly reduced his prestige as a ruler.

In 817, Louis issued Ordinatio imperii, a decree that laid out plans for an orderly succession by dividing the empire between his three sons from his first marriage with Ermengarde of Hesbaye: Lothair (who was crowned king of Italy and co-emperor), Pepin of Aquitaine (king of Aquitaine) and Louis (king of Bavaria). After Ermengarde's death, he remarried with Judith of Bavaria and had a fourth son, Charles, in 823. Louis' attempts to add Charles to his will met with the stiff resistance of his older sons, and the last decade of his reign was marked by civil war. In 829, he stripped Lothair of his position of co-emperor and banished him to Italy. In 830, the three brothers invaded their father's lands, forcing him to abdicate in favor of Lothar. Louis the Pious returned to power the next year and stripped Lothar not only of imperial title, but also of the kingdom of Italy, which he bestowed on Charles. Pepin revolted, followed by Louis the German in 832, and Lothar, with the support of Pope Gregory IV, joined the revolt in 833. The brothers defeated their father and imprisoned him along with Charles. Judith was sent to a nunnery, while Pepin and Louis the German both annexed formerly imperial lands. In 835, however, the family made peace and restored Louis to the imperial throne.

When Pepin died in 838, Louis the Pious declared Charles the new king of Aquitaine. The nobles, however, elected Pepin's son Pepin II. When Louis died in 840, the dispute plunged the brothers into a civil war that was only settled in 843 by the Treaty of Verdun (843) which split the Frankish realm into three parts, the kernels of later France and Germany. The dispute over the kingship of Aquitaine was not fully settled until 860.

Lothiar I  Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire

King of Italy 817 to 855. Supported by clergy against wars against Charles the Bald and Louis The German.

Charles and Louis formed alliance against Lothair, forced agreeement at Verdun in 843 dividing the Carolingian Empire:

Lothair got empty title of Emperor, King of Italy and all the "middle kingdom" bounded around Schedlt, the upper Meuse, Saone and the Rhone on the west, the Rhone and Frisia on the east, the territories of Florence, Burgundy and what was later called Lothringa.

Louis the German became the King of the East Franks, a teutonic realm in blood and speech from the Rhine to the eastern frontier.

Charles the Bald became the King of the West Franks, the area called Karolingia made up of Aquitane, Gascony and Septimania, approximately midieval France.

At Lothair's death, his rule was divided to sons, Louis II, Charles and Lothair II. Louis II got Italy, Charles got Kingdom of Provence, Lothaire got Lorraine (Alps to the Rhine)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

eldest son of the emperor Louis the Pious and his wife Ermengarde of Hesbaye, daughter of Ingerman, duke of Hesbaye. He was the heir to the entire Carolingian Empire, but had to share it with his brothers because of the traditional Frankish practice of division of patrimonies amongst all surviving sons. Upon their father's death, Lothair and his brothers warred for three years until the Treaty of Verdun in 843, which redivided the realm into three constituent parts. Lothair remained emperor and ruler in Italy and also received the kingship of the Middle Franks.

Little is known of his early life, which was probably passed at the court of his grandfather Charlemagne, until 815 when he became king of Bavaria. When Louis divided the Empire between his sons in 817, Lothair was crowned joint emperor at Aix-la-Chapelle (Aachen) and given a certain superiority over his brothers, Pepin and Louis, who respectively received Aquitaine and Bavaria. Lothair was also given the Iron Crown of Lombardy, then still held by Louis the Pious' nephew Bernard. When Bernard was killed, Lothair received the Italian kingdom. In 821, he married Ermengarde (d.851), daughter of Hugh, count of Tours. In 822, he assumed the government of Italy, and on 5 April 823, he was crowned emperor again by Pope Paschal I, this time at Rome.

In November 824 he promulgated a statute concerning the relations of pope and emperor which reserved the supreme power to the secular potentate, and he afterwards issued various ordinances for the good government of Italy.

On his return to his father's court his step-mother Judith won his consent to her plan for securing a kingdom for her son Charles the Bald, a scheme which was carried out in 829. Lothar, however, soon changed his attitude and spent the succeeding decade in constant strife over the division of the Empire with his father. He was alternately master of the Empire, and banished and confined to Italy, at one time taking up arms in alliance with his brothers and at another fighting against them, whilst the bounds of his appointed kingdom were in turn extended and reduced.

When Louis I was dying in 840, he sent the imperial insignia to Lothar, who, disregarding the various partitions, claimed the whole of the Empire. Negotiations with his brother Louis the German and his half-brother Charles the Bald, both of whom armed to resist this claim, were followed by an alliance of the younger brothers against Lothar. A decisive battle was fought at Fontenay on June 25, 841, when, in spite of his personal gallantry, Lothar was defeated and fled to Aix. With fresh troops he began a war of plunder, but the forces of his brothers were too strong for him, and taking with him such treasure as he could collect, he abandoned to them his capital.

Peace negotiations began, and in June 842 the brothers met on an island in the Saône, and agreed to an arrangement which developed, after much difficulty and delay, into the Treaty of Verdun signed in August 843. By this Lothair received the imperial title as well as northern Italy and an long stretch of territory from the North Sea to the Mediterranian, essentially along the valleys of the Rhine and the Rhone. He soon left Italy to his eldest son, Louis, and remained in his new kingdom, engaging in alternate quarrels and reconciliations with his brothers and in futile efforts to defend his lands from the attacks of the Northmen (as Vikings were known in Frankish writings) and the Saracens.

In 855 he became seriously ill and, despairing of recovery, renounced the throne, divided his lands between his three sons, and on September 23 entered the monastery of Prüm (Pruem), where he died six days later. He was buried at Prüm, where his remains were found in 1860.

His kingdom was divided among his three sons — the eldest, Louis II, received Italy and the title of Emperor; the second, Lothair II, received Lotharingia, while the youngest, Charles, received Burgundy.


Lothiar II

At Lothair II's death, Lorraine went to uncle Charles the Bald, forced by uncle Louis the German, dividing Lorraine outside of Italy giving Louis a strip of land which brought his lands west of the Rhine.

Second son of Emperor Lothair I. Upon his father's death in 855, he received as his kingdom a territory west of the Rhine stretching from the North Sea to the Jura mountains. It became known as Regnum Lotharii and early in the 10th century as Lotharingia or Lorraine, a designation subsequently applied only to the duchy of Lorraine). His elder brother Louis II received northern Italy and the title of Emperor, and his younger brother Charles received the western parts of his father's domains, Burgundy and the Provence.

On the death of his brother Charles in 863, Lothair added some lands south of the Jura to this realm, but except for a few feeble expeditions against the Norman pirates he seems to have done little for its government or its defence.

Lothair's reign was chiefly occupied by his efforts to obtain a divorce from his wife Teutberga, a sister of Hucbert, abbot of St Maurice (d. 864), and his relations with his uncles Charles the Bald and Louis the German were influenced by his desire to obtain their support for this endeavor. Although quarrels and reconciliations between the three kings followed each other in quick succession, in general it may be said that Louis favoured the divorce, and Charles opposed it, while neither lost sight of the fact that Lothair had no sons to inherit his lands. Lothair, whose desire for the divorce was prompted by his affection for a certain Waldrada, put away Teutberga, but Hucbert took up arms on her behalf, and after she had submitted successfully to the ordeal of water, Lothair was compelled to restore her in 858. Still pursuing his purpose, he won the support of his brother, Emperor Louis II, by a cession of lands and obtained the consent of the local clergy to the divorce and to his marriage with Waldrada, which took place in 862.

A synod of Frankish bishops met at Metz in 863 and confirmed this decision, but Teutberga fled to the court of Charles the Bald, and Pope Nicholas I voided the decision of the synod. An attack on Rome by the emperor was without result, and in 865 Lothair, threatened with excommunication and convinced that Louis and Charles at their recent meeting had discussed the partition of his kingdom, again took back his wife. Teutberga, however, either from inclination or compulsion, now expressed her desire for a divorce, and Lothair went to Italy to obtain the assent of the new pope, Adrian II. Placing a favourable interpretation upon the words of the pope, he had set out on the return journey, when he was seized with fever and died at Piacenza on the August 8, 869. He left, by Waldrada, a son Hugo who was declared illegitimate, and his kingdom was divided between his uncles Charles the Bald and Louis the German by the Treaty of Mersen.


Louis II

Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire Le Jeune

When his father, Lothair died, he received Italy, his brother Charles received the newly founded Kingdom of provence centered around Arles, and brother, Lothair II received the "inchoate aggregate" being from Frisia to the Alps and from the Rhine to Scheldt, which became modern Lorraine.

eldest son of the emperor Lothair I, became the designated king of Italy in 839, and taking up his residence in that country was crowned king at Rome by Pope Sergius II on June 15, 844.

He at once preferred a claim to the rights of an emperor in the city, which claim was decisively rejected; but in 850 he was crowned joint emperor at Rome by Pope Leo IV, and soon afterwards, in 851, married Engelberga and undertook the independent government of Italy. He marched into the south of Italy in the year of his imperial coronation and compelled the rival dukes of Benevento, Radelchis I and Siconulf, to make peace. His mediation split the Lombard duchy and gave Radelchis his share with Benevento as his capital and gave Salerno as a principality independent to Siconulf. Radelchis, now pacified, had no need of his Saracen mercenaries and happily betrayed them to the emperor. Louis fell on them and they were massacred. He then quashed some accusations against Pope Leo and held a Diet at Pavia. He confirmed the usurping regent Peter, as prince of Salerno in December 853, displacing the dynasty he had installed there three years earlier. On the death of his father in September 855, he became sole emperor.

The division of Lothair's dominions, by which he obtained no territory outside Italy, aroused his discontent, and in 857 he allied himself with Louis the German against his own brother Lothair, King of Lotharingia, and King Charles the Bald. But after Louis had secured the election of Pope Nicholas I in 858, he became reconciled with his brother, and received some lands south of the Jura mountains in return for assistance given to Lothair in his efforts to obtain a divorce from his wife, Teutberga.

In 863, on the death of his brother Charles, Louis received the kingdom of Provence, and in 864 came into collision with Pope Nicholas I over his brother's divorce. The archbishops, who had been deposed by Nicholas for proclaiming this marriage invalid, obtained the support of the emperor, who reached Rome with an army in February 864; but, having been seized with fever, he made peace with the pope and left the city.

In his efforts to restore order in Italy, Louis met with considerable success both against Italy's turbulent princes and against the Saracens who were ravaging southern Italy. In 866 he routed these invaders, but could not follow up his successes owing to the lack of a fleet. So in 869 he made alliance with the eastern emperor, Basil I, who sent him ships to assist in the capture of Bari, the headquarters of the Saracens, which succumbed in 871.

Meanwhile his brother Lothair had died in 869, and owing to his detention in southern Italy, Louis failed to prevent the partition of Lotharingia between Louis the German and Charles the Bald. Some jealousy between Louis and Basil followed the victory at Bari, and in reply to an insult from the eastern emperor Louis attempted to justify his right to the title "emperor of the Romans."

He had withdrawn into Benevento to prepare for a further campaign when he was treacherously attacked in his palace, robbed and imprisoned by Adelchis, prince of Benevento, in August 871. The landing of fresh bands of Saracens compelled Adelchis to release his prisoner a month later, and Louis was forced to swear he would take no revenge for this injury, nor ever enter Benevento with an army. Returning to Rome, he was released from his oath, and was crowned a second time as emperor by Pope Adrian II on May 18, 872.

Then Louis won further successes against the Saracens, who were driven from Capua, but the emperor's attempts to punish Adeichis were not very successful. Returning to northern Italy, he died, somewhere in the province of Brescia, on August 12, 875, and was buried in the church of St Ambrose at Milan, having named as his successor in Italy his cousin Carloman, son of Louis the German. His daughter, Ermengard married Boso of Provence and was the mother of the Emperor Louis III.

Will dated 16 July 1558 and proved in the Preogative Court of York 20 Oct 1558.

~~~

Born about 1513, Cherry Burton, Yorkshire, England. Succeeded to the estates of his father in Cherry Burton and elsewhere, and during his lifetime made considerable additions to them. His will, in which he styled himself a yoeman of North Burton, was dated 16 July 1558 and proved in the Prerogative Court of York 20 Oct 1558. His wife ELLEN _____, mentioned in his will, has been tentatively identified by Culleton as the daughter of Thomas Aston of Fole, Checkley, Staffordshire. Ellen survived her husband fourteen years, leaving a will dated 12 Feb 1572/3, and was buried 8 Mar 1572/3 in Cherry Burton. In support of Culleton's proposal that Ellen was of the Aston family, both Robert and Ellen name a Richard Ashton in their wills, but no relationship is given. Perhaps he was a brother or other relation to Ellen. During the 24th year of the reign of Henry VIII (1532-33) a petition was filed by James Carter and his wife Agnes and Thomas Layton and his wife Isabell stating that they were seised of one acre of customary land in the manor of South Dalton, York, with appurtenances in Cherry Burton, York, called Coke Merys, as of fee in right of Agnes and Isabel, whereon they sowed good wheat, which prospered till it was ready to be reaped, and that they then reaped a great part of the wheat, bound it in sheaves, and made thirty stooks, each containing twelve sheaves, according to the custom of that county, and intended to reap the rest. But John Lawthrop, William Bynkys, Robert Lawthrop, William Patton and John Burne, of their malicious and riotous minds, with clubs, staves, swords, daggers, pikes, etc., by force of arms, about Monday sennight next after the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin 25 Henry VIII (1533-34), entered the land, took away the wheat which had been reaped and reaped and carried off the rest, making assault upon James Carter, beating and wounding him, and putting him in jeopardy of his life. Petitioners pray for a writ of subpÏna for Lawthrop and the rest to appear before the Kings Court at Westminster. The answer (undated) of John Lowthorp to the petition of James Carter and the others sets forth that the matter of the petitioners is determinable within the Court of the Provost of Beverley, within his lordship of South Dalton, as the land specified is a parcel of the manor of South Dalton. Said Lowthorp denies that he is guilty of any riot or any other misdemeanor. Further, if he had committed any such riot or misdemeanor, the King, by authority of Parliament, has pardoned to all his subjects all riots and misdemeanors committed before 3 Nov last, before which time the riot is said to have taken place. He prays that the petition be dismissed with costs. In 1557/8 Robert sued Marmaduke Whytyng and Alice, his wife, over lands in Wolkyngtin. (ref: Lothropp Gen, pg 24; English Origins, First Series).

Louis III Blind

King of Provence from 887, king of Italy from 900, and briefly Holy Roman Emperor, as Louis III, between 901 and 905. He was the son of Boso, the usurper king of Provence, and Irmingard, a daughter of the Emperor Louis II. Through his father, he was a Bosonid, but through his mother, a Carolingian.

He succeeded his father upon his death in January 887, though at that time, the kingdom of Provence was restricted to the environs of Vienne. The Provençal barons elected Irmingard to act as his regent, with the support of Louis's uncle, Richard the Justiciar, Duke of Burgundy. In May, Irmingard travelled with Louis to the court of her relative, the emperor Charles the Fat, and received his recognition of the young Louis as king. Charles adopted Louis as his son and put both mother and son under his protection. In May 889, she travelled to Charles' successor, Arnulf, to make submission anew. In 890, at Valence, a council of prelates and feudatories of the realm, elected Louis as King of Arles, Provence, and Cisjurane Burgundy. In 894, Louis himself did homage to Arnulf.

In 896, Louis waged war on the Saracens. Throughout his reign, he had to deal with the depredations of these Moslem invaders, who had landed and established a base at Fraxinet in 889.

In 900, Louis, as the grandson and heir of the Emperor Louis II, was invited into Italy by various lords, including Adalbert II of Tuscany, who were suffering under the ravages of the Magyars and the incompetent rule of Berengar I. Louis thus marched his army across the Alps and defeated Berengar, chasing him from Pavia, the old Lombard capital, where he was crowned with the Iron Crown of Lombardy on 12 October. He travelled onwards to Rome, where, in 901, he was crowned Emperor by Pope Benedict IV. The next year (902), however, Berengar defeated Louis's armies and forced him to flee to Provence and promise never to return.

In 905, Louis launched another attempt to invade Italy. He was again defeated by Berengar, with the aid of Bavarian troops, captured, and imprisoned in Verona, where, on 21 July, he had his eyes put out (for breaking his oath) and was forced to relinquish his royal Italian and imperial crowns. Later, Berengar became Emperor. After this last attempt to restore Carolingian power over Italy, Louis continued to rule Provence for many more years, though Hugh, Count of Arles, was the dominant figure in the territory.

Louis returned to Vienne, his capital, and by 911, he had put most of the royal powers in the hands of Hugh. Hugh was made Margrave of Provence and moved the capital to Arles. As regent, Hugh married Louis's sister Willa. Louis lived out his days until his death in obscurity.

His first wife (married 905) is said to have been Anna of Constantinople (or Macedonia), daughter of Leo VI the Wise and his second wife Zoe Zaoutzaina. However, this claim has often been disputed. Their son Charles-Constantine was the count of Vienne, and his descendants held the county of Provence. In 914, Louis remarried to Adelaide, daughter of Rudolph I of Upper Burgundy.


Adeliza of Louvain

Adeliza of Leuven (1103-1151), also called Adela and Aleidis, was Queen consort of the Kingdom of England from 1121 to 1135, the second wife of King Henry I of England. She was the daughter of Godfrey I of Leuven, Duke of Lower Lotharingia, Landgrave of Brabant and Count of Leuven and Brussels.

She married King Henry I on 2 February 1121 when she is thought to have been aged somewhere between fifteen and eighteen. Her husband was fifty three. It is believed that Henry's only reason for marrying again was his desire for a male heir. Despite holding the record for the largest number of illegitimate children of any British monarch, William Adelin was Henry's only legitimate male heir and had predeceased his father on 25 November 1120. Adeliza was reputably quite pretty and her father was Duke of Lower Lotharingia. These were the likely reasons she was chosen. However, no children were born during the almost 15 years of the marriage.

Adeliza, unlike the other Anglo-Norman queens, played little part in the public life of the realm during her tenure as queen consort. Whether this is because of personal inclination, or because Henry preferred to keep her nearby in hopes of her conceiving, is unknown and probably unknowable. She did, however, leave a mark as a patron of literature and several works, including a bestiary, were dedicated to her. She is said to have commissioned a verse biography of King Henry; if she did it is no longer extant.

When her husband died on 1 December, 1135, Adeliza retired for a while to the monastery of Wilton, near Salisbury. As she was still young she came out of mourning some time before 1139 and married William d'Aubigny, 1st Earl of Arundel, who had been one of Henry's chief advisors. She brought with her a queen's dowry, including the great castle of Arundel, and Stephen of England created d'Albini Earl of Arundel and Earl of Lincoln. Although her husband was a staunch supporter of King Stephen during the Anglo-Norman civil war, her own personal inclination may have been toward the cause of her step-daughter Empress Matilda. When the Empress sailed for England in 1139, it was to her step-mother that she appealed for shelter, and she landed near Arundel and was received as a guest of the former queen.

Seven of Adeliza and William's children were to survive to adulthood. Among them William d'Aubigny, 2nd Earl of Arundel, father to William d'Aubigny, 3rd Earl of Arundel who was one of the twenty-five guarantors of the Magna Carta. Among the descendants of this marriage came two girls destined to become tragic Queen consorts: Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard. Adeliza also became an active patron of the church during her second marriage, giving property to Reading Abbey in honor of her former husband and to several other, smaller foundations.

Adeliza spent her final years in the abbey of Affligem (Landgraviat of Brabant, German Empire), where she died on April 23, 1151. She was buried in the abbey church next to her father, duke Godfrey I of Leuven.

One of Adeliza's brothers, Jocelin (Gosuinus), came to England and married Agnes de Percy, heiress of the Percy family. Adeliza also gave a dowry to one of her cousins when she married in England. Although it is clear that the former queen and Josecelin were very close, he may actually have been an illegitimate son of Adeliza's father and thus her half-brother. His children took their name from their mother's lineage, and their descendants include the medieval Earls of Northumberland.

William Longspee

Plantagent pg 456 reports two daughter named Ida, one married Beauchamp, the other FitzRobert. McBride lists William of William is the father of Ida married to FitzRobert wiht a notation that marriage is questioned. The peerage echoes McBride. In either case, only Plantagenet and McBride agree Ela is their daughter, and wife of William de Oddingseles, a line leading to Joyce Freville who married Roger Aston.

Salisbury's ship was nearly lost in a storm while returning to England in 1225, and he spent some months in refuge at a monastery on the French island of Ré. He died not long after his return to England. Roger of Wendover alleged that he was poisoned by Hubert de Burgh. He was buried at Salisbury Cathedral in Salisbury, Wiltshire, England.

William de Longespee's tomb was opened in 1791. Bizarrely, the well-preserved corpse of a rat which carried traces of arsenic[1], was found inside his skull. The rat is now on display in a case at the Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum.

Ruth Loomis

This is the file as it stood when I realized, just starting to research this line, how confused (and wrong) the dates are. Surely we have two Ruth Loomis's who married two different men the same day? Someone took one marriage date and used it for both husbands? How does that explain two groups of children born in the same time frame to different fathers. There is some work to do here to get correct information. According to a Mills descendant, there once was a book about the three Ruth Loomises, The Three Ruth Loomises by Jacobus.
