Notes |
- Geoffrey II of Thouars, he was born in 990 in Thouars and he died around 1055. He is the son of Savary III 10 th Viscount of Thouars 1015-1055 or 1058.
He succeeded his uncle Raoul I st in 1015. It continues the war waged by Raoul against the Count William V of Poitiers, and the lord Hugh IV of Lusignan said Le Brun and the chief captain. After mutual victories and defeats, the peace ends up being made on the basis of the marriage of the daughter of Geoffroy II, Aud?arde (Auliarde, Aldiarde), with Hugues IV of Lusignan.
His relations with the Count of Anjou, Foulque III Nerra, are difficult, this one built in 1026 a castle in Montfaucon, and relocating strongly to Montreuil (20 km north of Thouars ) which he entrusts to a guardian, Berlai. This device is a real threat to the Viscount and his city, and the buildings in the 1030s of Moncontour, Loudun and Mirebeau only strengthened by the encirclement and achieved the areas of the Viscount. In addition, the lords of Parthenay were faithful allies of the Count of Anjou.
However, in 1030, Geoffroy II allies with the son of Foulques Nerra, Geoffroy Martel , Count of Vendome who has just married Agn?s de Bourgogne (995-1068), widow of the DukeWilliam V of Poitiers said William the Great. He assists him in his attempt to seize power in the County of Poitiers and the Duchy of Aquitaine. While Geoffroy Martel ravages the surroundings of Poitiers, the new duke Guillaume le Gros does the same in the regions of Loudun and Mirebeau which are under the influence of Angevin. On September 9, 1033, Geoffroy Martel and Geoffroy II of Thouars, beat and make prisoner Guillaume le Gros at Mont-Couer (near Taiz?-Maulais and Saint-Jouin-de-Marnes).
Geoffroy de Thouars became a monk in Saint-Michel-en-l'Hermjust before dying in 1055 .

1.) Aimery IV
2.) Savary, Viscount of Fontenay
3.) Geoffroy
4.) Raoul
5.) H?l?ne, born about 1030, who marries Archambaud I Janvre, lord of Boucheti?re.
