Eleanor Randolph
Eleanor () is a feminine given name, originally from an Old French adaptation of the Old Provençal name ''Aliénor''. It is the name of a number of women of royalty and nobility in western Europe during the High Middle Ages. The name was introduced to England by Eleanor of Aquitaine, who came to marry King Henry II. It was also borne by Eleanor of Provence, who became Queen consort of England as the wife of King Henry III, and Eleanor of Castile, wife of Edward I.

Viscount Of Thouars
The first viscounts of Thouars appeared at the end of the 9th century, somewhat earlier than those of Châtellerault, Lusignan, etc. They represented the count of Poitou (also the duke of Aquitaine) in the territory he had enfeoffed to them. The family of the viscounts of Thouars doubtless originated in the surroundings of Poitiers where they held lands in the 10th century. At this era, they were patrons of the abbeys at Saint-Cyprien de Poitiers, Abbaye Saint-Jouin de Marnes, Saint-Jouin de Marnes (15 km to the south of Thouars), Saint-Florent de Saumur and Saint-Martin de Tours. In the 11th century, following Geoffrey II of Thouars's marriage with Agnes of Blois they added to this list the abbeys of abbaye de Bourgueil, Bourgueil and Abbaye de Marmoutier (Tours), Marmoutier. List House of Thouars Before 876-903: Geoffroy I. His successors Savary and Aimery are likely his sons or his nephews. 903-929: Savary I of Thouars, Savary I. A follower of the Count of Po ...

Gilles Ménage
Gilles Ménage (; 15 August 1613 – 23 July 1692) was a French scholar. Biography He was born at Angers, the son of Guillaume Ménage, king's advocate at Angers. A good memory and enthusiasm for learning carried him quickly through his literary and professional studies, and he practised at the bar at Angers before he was twenty. In 1632, he pleaded several causes before the '' parlement'' of Paris. Illness caused him to abandon the legal profession for the church. He became prior of Montdidier without taking holy orders, and lived for some years in the household of Cardinal de Retz (then coadjutor to the Archbishop of Paris), where he had leisure for literary pursuits. Some time after 1648, he quarrelled with his patron and withdrew to a house in the cloister of Notre-Dame de Paris, where he gathered round him on Wednesday evenings those literary assemblies which he called “Mercuriales.” Jean Chapelain, Paul Pellisson, Valentin Conrart, Jean François Sarrazin and ...

Aenor
Aénor (also ''Aenora'', ''Ainora''; the spelling ''Aénor'' suggests an original trisyllabic pronunciation) was a feminine given name in medieval France. It is likely the origin of, and by the later Middle Ages was replaced by, the name Eleanor (''Alienor''). It arose as a latinization of an earlier Germanic name, via the form ''Adenordis'' (''Aanordis'', ''Anordis'', ''Anor''). Use of the name seems to be mostly confined to the 12th century; before that, it would have retained its original form (''Anordis'' or similar), and after 1200 it had been mostly ousted by its replacement ''Eleanor''. The form ''Adenordis'' is recorded in the 1090s. It may itself be a corruption of ''Adamardis'',''Archives historiques de la Saintonge et de l'Aunis'', vol. 33 (1903), p. 29/ref> apparently a feminine form of '' Ademar''. List People with the name include: * Adenordis, a sister of Hugo of Chaumont ( fl. 1090s) * Ainora (1102–1147) daughter of Stephen, Count of Blois and Adela of Normand ...

Langues D'oïl
The ''langues d'oïl'' (; ) are a dialect continuum that includes standard French and its closest autochthonous relatives historically spoken in the northern half of France, southern Belgium, and the Channel Islands. These belong to the larger category of Gallo-Romance languages, which also include the historical languages of east-central France and western Switzerland, southern France, portions of northern Italy, and the Val d'Aran in Spain. Linguists divide the Romance languages of France, and especially of Medieval France, into two main geographical subgroups: the ''langues d'oïl'' to the North, and the ''langues d'oc'' in the Southern half of France. Both groups are named after the word for "yes" in them or their recent ancestral languages. The most common modern ''langue d'oïl'' is standard French, in which the ancestral "oïl" has become "oui". Terminology ''Langue d'oïl'' (in the singular), ''Oïl dialects'' and ''Oïl languages'' (in the plural) designate the ancie ...
