Arnold I, Count Of Chiny
Arnold I (died 16 April 1106), Count of Chiny, son of Louis II, Count of Chiny, and his wife Sophie. He succeeded his father as count before 1066. Arnold is best known for his many clashes with the authorities. The only known positive action of his was the founding of the Abbey of Orval with Conrad I, Count of Luxembourg. In addition he began other religious institutions, apparently as atonement for his many crimes. He had many run-ins with the clergy, particularly with Henry, Bishop of Liège, a relative of Godfrey the Bearded, no doubt due to the murder of his grandfather by Godfrey’s father. There were also issues with Henry's successor Otbert. A convenient story is that Arnold regularly confronted Godfrey’s grandson Count Godfrey of Bouillon, a leader of the First Crusade and nephew of Countess Mathilda of Tuscany, but that they eventually became friends. Because of this newly-found friendship, he allegedly entrusted Godfrey with his sons Otto and Louis to take part in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Counts Of Chiny
The counts of Chiny were part of the nobility of Lotharingia that ruled from the 9th to the 14th century in what is now part of Belgium. It has been proposed that the County of Chiny was created in the early 10th century out of the ancient county of Ivois. The county now forms part of the province of Luxembourg in present-day Belgium. The county of Chiny included the present-day cantons of Virton, Etalle, Florenville, Neufchâteau, Montmédy and Carignan, as well as the castles of Warcq on the Meuse, which was built in 971 by Otto, ancestor of the later Counts of Chiny. It has also been proposed that there is a close relationship between the counts of Chiny and the early counts of Looz, the counts of Verdun and the bishops of Verdun.Jeantin, J. François Louis.

Giselbert I, Count Of Duras
The County of Duras was a medieval county with its seat at the castle of Duras. The 18th century version of this castle still stands and is a part of modern Sint-Truiden in the province of Belgian Limburg. The county was one of several counties in the Hesbaye region (''Haspengouw'' in Dutch) which covers the south of Belgian Limburg, and stretches into the neighbouring provinces. The county of Duras itself was inherited by the Counts of Montaigu, whose other holdings were further south, and then eventually became part of the neighbouring County of Loon, which was ruled by cousins of the original counts of Duras. As a distinct entity under the name Duras the county only existed within the 12th century. The history of Duras is entangled with that of its powerful neighbour, Sint-Truiden Abbey. The first certain counts of Duras were under-advocates ''( subadvocati)'' of the abbey, who were responsible for exercising the secular aspects of lordship on their worldly estate, such as death ...

Otto I, Count Of Duras
Count Otto of Loon as he was known during his own lifetime (d. abt 1087), was founder of the family of Counts of Duras, and brother of Emmo, Count of Loon, one of the first known counts of Loon. In contemporary and later medieval records he is mainly known for his role as advocate of Sint-Truiden Abbey, which is today in Belgian Limburg. Brother of the count of Loon It has been suggested that Otto and Emmo were sons of Count Giselbert of Loon, who Emmo succeeded as count over Borgloon, although there is no contemporary record of their exact relationship to Giselbert. (It has for example been suggested that Gilbert was their uncle.) The mother of Emmo and Otto on the other hand is clearly named in one near-contemporary record, as Ludgarde, sister of Albert, Count of Namur. Advocacy of Sint-Truiden In a charter dated 1065, Adalbero III of Luxembourg, Bishop of Metz, confirmed Otto’s rights in regard to the abbey. This was partly necessary because the bishop had given a superior a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hériman De Duras
Hériman (Bovo) de Duras (born after 1006), son of Otto I, Count of Duras, and Oda, daughter of Giselbert I, Count of Duras. The children and grandchildren of Hériman were closely tied to the Cathedral of Our Lady and St. Lambert in Liege (Cathédrale Notre-Dame-et-Saint-Lambert) as well as the Counts of Chiny. Several of Hériman's descendants are identified with Waha, a Belgian village located in the Province of Luxembourg in Wallonia. Legend says that, in the 10th century, Waha was part of the territory of a Count Immon, who possibly was Emmo, Count of Hesbaye. The name of Hériman's wife is unknown. He and his wife had five children: * Simon de Waha, Canon at Liège, St. Lambert (1103) * Julien (died 1127 of after), Seigneur de Waha, married Mathilde de Fronville. They had one child Guy, Canon at Liège, St. Lambert (1118–1147) * Hugel de Waha, Châtelain de Mirwart, married Clementia de Chiny, daughter of Arnold I, Count of Chiny Arnold I (died 16 April 1106), Count ...

Dodo Of Cons
Dodo of Cons (Dudo of Konz-Saarburg) ( fl. 1096), lord of Cons-la-Grandville, a nobleman from the Lotharingian territories, son of Adelon (Adelo) de Cons. Dodo was originally from Konz, above Trier at the confluence of the Moselle and Sauer rivers. Dodo had taken the cross and joined in the First Crusade and was lucky enough to return unscathed along with his wife, a countess of Chiny. Cons-la-Grandville was a commune of Meurthe-et-Moselle in what is now northeastern France on the river Chiers. Dodo was a benefactor of the abbey of Saint-Hubert to which he donated the priory of St Michael. His father, Adelo was master of the castle of Dun on the Meuse which had been given to the church of Verdun by Emperor Henry IV. On Adelo's death his lands were divided between his sons Walter, who received Dun, and Dodo who received Cons. Dodo was a crusader who was one of the many leading knights from Walloon and the Lotharingian territories that joined the army of Godfrey of Bouillon in ...

Saint Walpurga
Walpurga or Walburga ( ang, Wealdburg, la, Valpurga, Walpurga, Walpurgis, sv, Valborg; c. AD 71025 February 777 or 779), also spelled Valderburg or Guibor, was an Anglo-Saxon missionary to the Frankish Empire. She was canonized on 1 May c. 870 by Pope Adrian II. Saint Walpurgis Night (or "Sankt Walpurgisnacht") is the name for the eve of her feast day in the Medieval period, which coincided with May Day; her feast is no longer celebrated on that day, but the name is still used for May Eve. Early life Walpurga was born in the county of Devonshire, England, into a local aristocratic family. She was the daughter of Richard the Pilgrim, an underking of the West Saxons, and of Wuna of Wessex, and had two brothers, Willibald and Winibald. Religious career In 721 Richard set out on a pilgrimage to Rome with his two sons.

Otto II, Count Of Chiny
Otto II (1065 – after 1131), Count of Chiny, son of Arnold I, Count of Chiny, and Adélaïs. He succeeded his father in 1106 and completed the construction of the Abbey of Orval that his father had started in 1070, installing the canons in 1124. The installation of a Cistercian community in Orval in 1131 marked his last appearance in any proceedings. He married Adelaide (Alix) (1068–1124), daughter of Albert III, Count of Namur and Ida of Saxony (widow of Frederick of Lower Lorraine). Their children were: * Ida (died before 1125), married to Godfrey I, Count of Leuven * Oda (died after 1134), married to Giselbert II, Count of Duras * Hugues, probably died young * Albert of Chiny (before 1131–1162) * Frederick, (died after 1124), Provost at Reims from 1120 * Adalbero II of Chiny-Namur (died 26 March 1145), Bishop of Liège, 1135–1145 * Eustache (died after 1156), married to a daughter of Wiger de Waremme, Avoué of Liège Saint-Lambert and Hesbaye The Hesba ...

House Of Montdidier
The House of Montdidier was a medieval French noble house which ruled as count of Montdidier, Dammartin and Roucy. Its earliest definite member of the family was a certain Hilduin, who died before 956 and was known as ''comte de Montdidier''. The oldest known member of the family of some Montdidier is a Hilduin who died before 956 and was Count Montdidier. A close relative, also named Hilduin, perhaps his son, married Hersende, Lady of Ramerupt and Arcis-sur-Aube. Assumptions were exposed to clarify and complete the origin of the family, but proved unfounded or not usable. Thus: The Manasses name, carried by a son and grandson of Hilduin and Hersende returns home from Rethel, but the relationship between the two families is not known more precisely. There is also the tenth century Manasses, father of Gilbert, count of Chalon. Count Luçay in his book Le comté de Clermont en Beauvaisis, étude pour servir à son histoire (1878), stated that the second Manasses was probably a b ...

Hilduin IV, Count Of Montdidier
Hilduin IV (d. 1063), Count of Montdidier and Lord of Ramerupt, son of Hilduin III, Count of Montdidier, member of the House of Montdidier. Hilduin was also Count of Roucy by virtue of his marriage to the daughter of Ebles I, Count of Roucy. Little is known about Hilduin despite his many renowned children and grandchildren. Hériman of Tournai records that Philip I of France appointed Hilduin as an ambassador to Rome (date unknown). Sometime between 1033 and 1054, probably closer to the latter, Hilduin was driven from Montdidier by Count Ralph IV of Valois, who continued to rule it until his death in 1074. Hildiun married Adelaide (Alice) de Roucy, daughter of Ebles I, Count of Roucy, and Beatrix of Hainaut. They had nine children: * Ebles II, Count of Roucy, married Sibylle de Apulia, daughter of Robert Guiscard, Duke of Apulia and Sichelgaita de Salerno * Andre (d. after 1118), Seigneur de Ramerupt and of Arcis-sur-Aube, married Guisemode, widow of Hugh, Siegneur of Pl ...
