Philip I "The Fair" King of France

Enormously fat. Excommunicated because of an illegal marriage in 1092 to Bertrade and because of his hostility to the clergy.
Led a campaign for the suppression of the Templars.

In 1072 Robert I, Count of Flanders concluded a peace treaty with King Philippe, and part of the terms of the treaty his step daughter, Bertha was married to Philippe. In 1092, Philippe repudiated Bertha, alleging that she was too fat. He confined her to the fortress of Montreuil-sur-Mer, and took up with Bertrade de Montfort, the countess of Anjou.

Defeated William TC in 1079

Bertrade and Fulk were married, and they became the parents of a son, Fulk, but in 1092 Bertrade left her husband and took up with King Philippe. Philippe married her on May 15, 1092, despite the fact that they both had spouses living. He was so enamoured of Bertrade that he refused to leave her even when threatened with excommunication. Pope Urban II did excommunicate him in 1095, and Philippe was prevented from taking part in the First Crusade. Astonishingly, Bertrade persuaded Philippe and Fulk to be friends. According to Orderic Vitalis, Bertrade was anxious that one of her sons succeed Philippe, and sent a letter to King Henry I of England asking him to arrest her stepson Louis. Orderic also claims she sought to kill Louis first through the arts of sorcery, and then through poison. Whatever the truth of these allegations, Louis succeeded Philippe in 1108. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertrade_de_Montfort


Pepin I of Landen

Advisor to Dagobert, son of Lothiar, son of Clovis I
Married the daughter of Arnulf, Bishop of Metz
Founded the Frankish Carolingian line

Pippin of Landen (or Pepin; Fr. Pépin), also known as Pippin I, Pippin the Elder, or Pippin the Old (580–February 27, 640), was the Mayor of the Palace of Austrasia under the Merovingian kings Clotaire II, Dagobert I, and Sigebert III from 615 or c.623 to 629, when Dagobert retired him. He took the post again at Dagobert's death in 639 until his own on February 27, 640. Along with Arnulf of Metz, he was one of the leaders of the revolt against Brunhilda, which saw her tortured to death at the hands of her enemies.

His byname comes from his birthplace of Landen, Belgium. His name gave itself to the Pippinids, for he was their first ancestor with that distinguished name.

Though Pippin was never canonised, he is listed as a saint in some old martyrologies (feast day: 21 February).

When King Sigebert III died in 656, Grimoald the Elder had Sigebert's son Dagobert II shorn of hair and packed off to an Irish monastery and then proclaimed his own son, Childebert the Adopted (or Adoptivus), king of Austrasia


Pepin II of Heristal

Won territories of Austrasia and Neustria at the Battle of Tertry. Pippin of Herstal (or Pepin; Fr. Pépin), also known as Pippin the Middle, Pippin the Younger (as with his grandson), or Pippin II, (635 or 640–December 16, 714, Jupille) was the grandson of Pippin (I) the Elder through the marriage of Ansegisel and Begga, the daughter of the Elder. He was born in Héristal (now Herstal, Belgium), hence his byname. His other bynames and his ordinal number come from his position as the second "Pippin" (of three) in the Arnulfing dynasty. He was the Mayor of the Palace of Austrasia from 680 and of Neustria and Burgundy from 687 until his death in 714. He gradually came to control the Frankish court.

With his wife Plectrude, he had the following issue:

Drogo (c.670-708), duke of Champagne and mayor of the palace of Burgundy

Grimoald II (d.714), mayor of the palace of Neustria

With his mistress Alpaida, he had the following issue:

Charles Martel (August 23, 686-October 22, 741), duke of the Franks

Childebrand (d.751), duke of Burgundy

Pepin II, Count of Quentin

He was also known as Quentin of Peronne. He was also known as Beringer de Bayeux. Pepin first appears in 834 as a count to the north of the Seine and then appears as same again in 840. In that year, he supported Lothair I against Louis the Pious.

Pepin's wife is unknown, but his heir inherited much Nibelungid territory and so historian K. F. Werner hypothesised a marriage to a daughter Theodoric Nibelung. He has a dtr named Cunigunda listed, but Stoyan lists Cunigunda as a daughter of Herbert, not Pipin.


Abigal Penniman

Some people note Abigail's last name as Allen and make her the daughter of Samuel Allen & Mary French. Below is the source for Abigail Penniman. Possibly, the Allen connection has only been assumed.

Source for Penniniman, Abigail:

The will of her mother Lydia Eliot Penniman Wight bequeathed 10 £ "to my daughter Abigail Carie"

Her will was probated 2/12/1730 and administered by son Benjamin and son-in-law Samuel Howland (6:353). It mentions sons Eleazer, James, Benjamin and Josiah; only daughter Abigail Howland; Jemima Cary, daughter of Josiah Cary; granddaughter Abigail Cary , daughter of John deceased; granddaughter Abigail Cary, daughter of Eleazer Cary; granddaughter Abigail Cary, daughter of Jame s Cary; granddaughter Abigail Cary, daughter of Benjamin Cary; granddaughter Abigail Howland, daughter of Abigail Howland; and grandson John, son of John Cary. )

Lodema Caroline Percival

From her father's diary, Charles Lewis Percival, currently being transferred to Word.

August 10, 1865 Lodema had typhoid, E & I were there several days.

Dec 1867 - This past season Lodema taught at the Mc Lacy S. H. Barnston

August 21, 1868 - Lodema started for California (Her father followed, arriving "safe and sound" in Nevada City on Sept 21, 1869.)

June 1, 1871 - Lodema came to see us (in Truckee, CA)

June 14, 1871 - Wife & Mary & Lodema went back to Nevada, Emily (Lodema's mother) could not live there.

March 12, 1873 - Lodema came from California (to Canada)

May 3, 1873 - Thomas came.

May 27, 1876 - Lodema come, from Illinios (Her father left for Illinois August 12, 1874 and then to "Home" May 1876.

There is no mention of Lodema's marriage to Thomas, and entries for Thomas are short and terse. Charles named his last daughter Emily Lodema, and was obviously devoted to Lodema.

Pharamond

Pharamond (c. 370 - c. 430) is considered to be the first king of the Salian Franks, though he is possibly a legendary rather than historical figure. He was possibly a son or son-in-law of Marcomer.

Only historians Prosper Tiro and Dom Bouquet have written about his reign at a much later date. In 420, he reportedly led his people across the Rhine River heading west. This movement effectively separated his tribe from the majority of the Ripuarian Franks who had settled near Cologne. Pharamond was eventually succeeded by his son Clodio. His wife was Argotta

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharamond

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Frankish_Kings

Argotta was a daughter of Genobaud, Lord of the Franks (d. 419). She married Pharamond (Faramund). Their children were: Clodion of Tournai (Clodio or Clodius Crintus) Lord of the West Franks (430-446), Fredemundus, and Frotmund.

Geoffrey II de Perche

Orderic gives Geoffrey a very high character. "This Count," he tells us, "was magnanimous, handsome, and strong; he feared God, was a devout friend of the Church, a staunch protector of her clergy and the poor. In peace he was gentle and courteous, and of most obliging manners; in war he was powerful and successful, and became formidable to the neighbouring princes who were his enemies. The nobility of his own birth and that of his wife Beatrice rendered him illustrious above all his compeers, and he had amongst his subjects warlike barons and brave governors of castles. He gave his daughters in marriage to men of the rank of counts: Margaret to Henry, Earl of Warwick, and Juliana to Gilbert de l'Aigle, from whom sprung a noble race of handsome children. The glory of Count Geofirey was exalted by such a progeny, and he maintained it by his valour and courage, his wealth, and alliances. Above all, having the fear of God, he feared no man, but marched boldly with a lion's port. Laying claim to the strong Castle of Domfront, which had belonged to his great-grandfather, Warin de Belesme, and other domains as his right, he endeavoured to dispossess his cousin Robert (de Belesme) of them. He was grieved to harass the unarmed and innocent, but he could not bring the public enemy (for such assuredly was Robert de Belesme) with whom he had a just quarrel to a fair field for deciding it. Towards the close of the year 1100, Geoffrey fell sick unto death, and having called about him the lords of Le Perche and Le Corbonnais, who were vassals to him as Count of Mortagne, he put his affairs in order with great wisdom, praying them to keep his lands and strong places for his only son Rotrou, who had gone in pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Then the brave lord having duly received all the rites of the Church, and assumed the habit of a Cluniac monk, died in his Castle of Nogent-le-Rotrou in October 1100, and was buried in the church of the monastery of St. Dionysius the Areopagite, founded in 1030 by his grandfather, Geoffrey 1, and which he richly endowed with lands and other possessions. At the close of the year his son Rotrou returned in safety from the Holy Land, and took possession of his estates. On the fifth day after reaching home, being Sunday, he paid his devotions at the Church of St Denis, at Nogent, where his father had been buried, and made his offering on the altar of St. Denis, with the palms he had brought from Jerusalem.

By his wife Beatrice, daughter of Hilduin, fourth Comte de Montdidier and Ronci, Geoffrey had besides Rotrou, who succeeded him, and the two daughters named above, a third, daughter named Mahaut or Mathilde, married first to Raymond l, Vicomte de Turenne, and secondly to Gui de las Tours, in Limousin.

From his daughter Margaret, Countess of Warwick, descended the celebrated Beauchamps and Nevils, Earls of Warwick, and many other illustrious personages.
