Geoffrey V (Geoffroy V) (died 1218), Viscount of Châteaudun, son of Hugh VI, Viscount of Châteaudun, and Jeanne de Preuilly, daughter of Gosbert de Preuilly, Seigneur of Bouchet and Guerche, and Adela de Vendôme.

Adelicia is listed in Europäische Stammtafeln as Geoffrey’s wife but no heritage is identified.

Counts Of Châteaudun
Count (feminine: countess) is a historical title of nobility in certain European countries, varying in relative status, generally of middling rank in the hierarchy of nobility.L. G. Pine, Pine, L. G. ''Titles: How the King Became His Majesty''. New York: Barnes & Noble, 1992. p. 73. . Especially in earlier medieval periods the term often implied not only a certain status, but also that the ''count'' had specific responsibilities or offices. The etymologically related English term "county" denoted the territories associated with some countships, but not all. The title of ''count'' is typically not used in England or English-speaking countries, and the term ''earl'' is used instead. A female holder of the title is still referred to as a ''countess'', however. Origin of the term The word ''count'' came into English from the French language, French ', itself from Latin '—in its Accusative case, accusative form ''comitem''. It meant "companion" or "attendant", and as a title i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

William IV resided in the chateaux of Nevers and of Clamecy (present day department of the Nièvre, Burgundy, France). The next nearest town to the east of Clamecy is Vezelay, which, in the early medieval period, was the marshalling point for the start of several crusades to the Holy Land.

Geoffrey, Count Of Eu
Geoffrey of Brionne (mid-10th century – c. 1010), also called Godfrey was Count of Eu and BrionneWhile there is little doubt Geoffrey (Godfrey) was Count of Eu, there is an open question as to whether Geoffrey was ever "Count" of Brionne. See: Douglas, Earliest Norman Counts, ''EHS'' 61, No. 240 (1946), p.134. in the late tenth and early eleventh centuries. Life He was a son of Duke Richard I of Normandy, by an unnamed wife or concubine.Edmund Chester Waters, The Counts of Eu, Sometime Lords of the Honour of Tickhill, ''The Yorkshire Archaeological and Topographical Journal'', No. 9 (1886), p. 262 The county of Eu was an appanage created for Geoffrey by his half-brother Richard II of Normandy in 996 as part of Richard's policy of granting honors and titles for cadet members of his family.

Richard I, Duke Of Normandy
Richard I (28 August 932 – 20 November 996), also known as Richard the Fearless (French: ''Richard Sans-Peur''; Old Norse: ''Jarl Rikard''), was the count of Rouen from 942 to 996.Detlev Schwennicke, ''Europäische Stammtafeln, Europäische Stammtafeln: Stammtafeln zur Geschichte der Europäischen Staaten'', Neue Folge, Band II (Marburg, Germany: J. A. Stargardt, 1984), Tafel 79 Dudo of Saint-Quentin, whom Richard commissioned to write the "''De moribus et actis primorum Normanniae ducum''" (Latin, "''On the Customs and Deeds of the First Dukes of Normandy''"), called him a ''dux''. However, this use of the word may have been in the context of Richard's renowned leadership in war, and not as a reference to a title of nobility. Richard either introduced feudalism into Normandy or he greatly expanded it. By the end of his reign, the most important Normans, Norman landholders held their lands in feudal tenure.

12th-century Births
1 (one, unit, unity) is a number, numeral, and glyph. It is the first and smallest positive integer of the infinite sequence of natural numbers. This fundamental property has led to its unique uses in other fields, ranging from science to sports, where it commonly denotes the first, leading, or top thing in a group. 1 is the unit of counting or measurement, a determiner for singular nouns, and a gender-neutral pronoun. Historically, the representation of 1 evolved from ancient Sumerian and Babylonian symbols to the modern Arabic numeral. In mathematics, 1 is the multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number. In digital technology, 1 represents the "on" state in binary code, the foundation of computing. Philosophically, 1 symbolizes the ultimate reality or source of existence in various traditions. In mathematics The number 1 is the first natural number after 0. Each natural numbe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Year Of Birth Unknown
A year is a unit of time based on how long it takes the Earth to orbit the Sun. In scientific use, the tropical year (approximately 365 solar days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, 45 seconds) and the sidereal year (about 20 minutes longer) are more exact. The modern calendar year, as reckoned according to the Gregorian calendar, approximates the tropical year by using a system of leap years. The term 'year' is also used to indicate other periods of roughly similar duration, such as the lunar year (a roughly 354-day cycle of twelve of the Moon's phasessee lunar calendar), as well as periods loosely associated with the calendar or astronomical year, such as the seasonal year, the fiscal year, the academic year, etc. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by changes in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons ar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
