2. FLORIS ([1010/21]-Hamerth 28 Jun 1061, bur Egmond). The Annales Egmundani names "Florentius I" as brother of "Theodericus IIII comes filius Theoderici et Othelhildis" when recording that he succeeded his brother[324]. No source has been identified which indicates Floris's birth date. However, recent examination of his skeleton has revealed that he was aged between 40 and 50 years old when he died, which would place his birth in [1010/21][325]. His estimated marriage date suggests his birth in the later part of this estimated birth date range. The Chronologia Johannes de Beke names "Theodricum succedentem Hollandia principum et Florencium Orientalis Frisie comitem" as children of Count Dirk III & his wife[326]. "Heinricus?rex" confirmed a treaty between Wilhelm Bishop of Utrecht and Reginbert Abbot of Echternach under which they recognised each other's rights in "Flardinge, Kiericwerve, Velsereburc, Heligelo, Pethem" by charter dated 28 Dec 1063 which names "Theoderico comite ac filio eius Theoderico fratreque eius Florencio"[327]. He succeeded his brother in 1049 as FLORIS I Count of Holland. The Annales Egmundani record that "Florentius comes Hollandensis" was killed in 1061 at "Hamerthe"[328]. The Chronologia Johannes de Beke records the death "1061?in Hamerth?XIV Kal Iun" of Count Floris and his burial at Egmond[329]. Beke's Egmondsch Necrologium records that "Florentius primus Hollandie comes" was killed in battle "1061 IV Kal Iul"[330]. m ([1050]) as her first husband, GERTRUD of Saxony, daughter of BERNHARD II Duke of Saxony [Billung] & his wife Eilika von Schweinfurt (Schweinfurt [1028]-Veurne 4 Aug 1113, bur Veurne). The Chronologia Johannes de Beke records the marriage of Count Floris and "Gertrudim filiam Hermanni ducis Saxonum"[331], "Hermanni" being an error for "Bernardi" as the former would be impossible chronologically. The Genealogica Comitum Flandri? Bertiniana names "filiam Bernardi Saxonum comitis Gertrudem" as wife of "Robertus", specifying that she was "viduam Florentii comitis Fresonum"[332]. "Theodericus?Holtlandensis comes?Florentii filius" recites the ownership history of properties claimed by the church of Utrecht in Holland, including donations by "Florentius, tercii Theoderici filius, cum bone memorie uxore sua Gerthrude", by spurious charter dated 26 Jul 1083, probably written [1130][333]. She married secondly (1063) Robert de Flandre ([1035]-13 Oct 1093), who was regent of Holland for his stepson until 1071, when he succeeded as Robert I Count of Flanders. The date of her second marriage is based on the Chronologia Johannes de Beke recording that, two years after the death of her first husband, Gertrud married "Roberto iuniori filio Balduini comitis Flandrie", specifying that the latter ruled the county of Holland on behalf of "Theodrici domicelli iunioris adhuc etatis"[334]. "Gertrudis" is named as wife of "Roberti Frisonis" in the Cartulaire de Saint-Bertin, which does not give her origin[335]. The Genealogia ex stirpe Sancti Arnulfi names "Idam Namucensem?uxorem Angelberti marchionis et Gertrudem comitissam Flandrensem" as children of "Bernardum"[336]. The Annales Egmundani specify that Robert acquired the "comitatum Hollandi? et Fresi?" by marrying Gertrud[337]. [The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Denis records the death "XV Kal Aug" of "Gertrudis comitissa"[338]. It is uncertain whether this entry relates to the widow of Count Floris and Count Robert.] Beke's Egmondsch Necrologium records the death "IV die Aug" of "Gheertrudis?" and her burial in Flanders[339]. [A manuscript catalogue of benefactors to Eversham monastery records the death "1 aprilis" 1113 of "Robertus Hierosolymitanus...Gertrudis mater eius"[340]. The accuracy of this source is unknown. The latest date recorded is 1629, but it is not known whether the document represents a later compilation based on earlier sources.] Count Floris & his wife had [five] children:

d) BERTHA of Holland ([1058]-Montreuil-sur-Mer, Pas-de-Calais 15 Oct 1094). The Liber Modernorum Regum Francorum records the marriage of "filiam ducis Frisi?" and "rex Philippus"[361]. The Chronologia Johannes de Beke names (in order) "Theodricum et Florencium?et Machtildim" as children of Count Floris & his wife, specifying that "Machtildim" married "Philippus rex Francie" after the death of her father which indicates that "Machtildim" in this text is an error for Bertha[362]. The Historia Francorum names "filiam Florentii ducis Frisonum Bertam" as wife of King Philippe[363]. Her marriage was arranged as part of the settlement under which her future husband recognised her stepfather as Count of Flanders[364]. Her husband sent her to Montreuil after repudiating her. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Victor records the death "Id Oct" of "Berta mater Ludovici regis"[365]. Clarius's Chronicon Sancti Petri Vivi Senonensis records the death in 1094 of "Berta regina, qu? a rege Philippo prius fuerat derelicta"[366]. m (1072, repudiated 1092) as his first wife, PHILIPPE I King of France, son of HENRI I King of France & his second wife Anna Iaroslavna of Kiev (1052-ch?teau de Melun, Seine-et-Marne 30 Jul 1108, bur Abbaye Saint Beno?t-sur-Loire).

Bertha married Philippe Auguste I CAPET, King Of France in 1071-1072 in Lle DE France, France. Philippe (son of Henri CAPET, King Of the Franks and Duchess/ Anna Agnesa YAROSLAVNA, Of Kiev) was born on 23 May 1052 in Champagne-et-Fontaine, Dordogne, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France; died on 29 Jul 1108 in Melun, Seine-Et-Marne, France; was buried on 5 Aug 1108 in Saint-Beno?t-sur-Loire, Loiret, Centre-Val de Loire, France.

Notes:

Louis VI, called The Fat (1081-1137), king of France (1108-1137), son and successor of Philip I; he was married to Adelaide of Savoy. Almost his entire reign was spent in subduing the robber barons, who preyed on the environs of Paris but were finally forced to yield to royal authority. For some 20 years during the period from 1109-1135, Louis waged war against Henry I, the Norman king of England, and against Henry's son-in-law, Holy Roman Emperor Henry V; he successfully repelled an invasion by Henry V in 1124. Louis greatly strengthened the royal power in France, granted benefactions to the church and privileges to towns, and became known as the protector of the peasants and as a fearless military leader. He was succeeded on the throne by his son Louis VII.

Notes:

byname LOUIS THE YOUNGER, French LOUIS LE JEUNE, Capetian king of France who pursued a long rivalry, marked by recurrent warfare and continuous intrigue, with Henry II of England.
In 1131 Louis was anointed as successor to his father, Louis VI, and in 1137 he became the sole ruler at his father's death. Louis married Eleanor, daughter of William X, duke of Aquitaine, in 1137, a few days before his effective rule began, and he thus temporarily extended the Capetian lands to the Pyrenees. Louis continued his father's pacification program by building the prestige of the kingship through an administrative government based on trustworthy men of humble origin and by consolidating his rule over his royal domains rather than by adding new acquisitions. From 1141 to 1143 he was involved in a fruitless conflict with Count Thibaut of Champagne and the papacy. But thereafter his relations with the popes were good; Alexander II, whom he supported against Frederick Barbarossa, took refuge in France. But the major threat to his reign came from Geoffrey, count of Anjou and, briefly, of Normandy, and Geoffrey's son Henry, who later (1154) became King Henry II of England as well as ruler of both Anjou and Normandy. After Louis repudiated his wife Eleanor for misconduct on March 21, 1152, she married Henry, who then took over control of Aquitaine. Ironically, this act was probably to Capetian advantage because Aquitaine might have drained the resources of Louis's kingdom while bringing him little revenue. After the death of Louis's second wife, he married Alix of Champagne, whose Carolingian blood brought added prestige to the monarchy (1160); their son became Philip II Augustus.

Louis might have defeated Henry if he had made concerted attacks rather than weak assaults on Normandy in 1152. Anglo-Norman family disputes saved Louis's kingdom from severe incursions during the many conflicts that Louis had with Henry between 1152 and 1174. Louis was helped by the quarrel (1164-70) between Henry and Thomas Becket, archbishop of Canterbury, and a revolt (1173-74) of Henry's sons. Suger, abbot of Saint-Denis, who acted as regent in 1147-49 while Louis was away on the Second Crusade, is the primary historian for Louis's reign.

Louis married Queen Eleanor De AQUITAINE on 25 Jul 1137 in Bordeaux Cathedral, Bordeaux, France. Eleanor (daughter of Guillaume X Duke Of AQUITAINE, Poitou Guillaume and Elbeanor De CHATELLERAULT) was born in 1121-1122 in Chateau DE Belin, Bordeaux, Aquitaine; died on 31 Mar 1204 in Poitiers, Poitou, Aquitaine; was buried in Fontevraud Abbey, Maine-Et-Loire, France. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Louis married Queen Adelaide Alix De BLOIS on 13 Nov 1160 in Blois Loir-Et-Cher, France. Adelaide (daughter of Theobalk (Thibald) IV "The Great", Count Of Blois) was born about 1140 in Blois Loir-Et-Cher, France; died on 4 Jun 1206 in Paris, France. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Foundation for Medieval Genealogy

He was the son of Louis VI of France who took the name of his wife "de Courtenay"-

PIERRE de France ([1126]-Palestine 10 Mar [1180/10 Apr 1183]). William of Tyre names him as brother of Louis VII King of France, when recording his arrival in Palestine in 1179[406]. He succeeded as Seigneur de Courtenay, by right of his wife. "Petrus regis frater et Curtiniacensis dominus" donated property to the abbey of Fontaine-Jean by charter dated 1170, with the support of "uxor mea Isabel et primogenitus meus Petrus"[407]. The necrology of La Cour-Dieu records the death "VI Id Mar" of "Petrus de Curtiniaco"[408].

m (before 24 Nov 1160) ELISABETH de Courtenay, daughter and heiress of RENAUD Seigneur de Courtenay & his first wife Helvis de Donjon ([1140/45]-14 Sep after 1205). A Historia Regum Francorum records that "Petrus", son of Louis VI King of France, married "filiam Rainaldi de Curtiniaco cum?terra illius"[249].

The Continuator of Aimon of Fleury names "Petrus" as sixth son of "rex Ludovicus" and his wife "Adalaidem filiam Humberti comitis de Mauriana", adding that he married "filiam Rainaldi de Corteniaco" and had his land as there was no other surviving heir ("et terram ipsius habuit cum ea, quia non erat alius h?res superstes")[250]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "domina de Monte-Argisi fuit soror vel neptis illius [=Guilelmus?archiepiscopus Bituricensis]" as the wife of "Petro de Cortenaio regis Philippi patruo", "Monte-Argisi" being identified as "Montargis, d?partement Loiret" by the editor of the MGH edition[251].

"Petrus dominus Curtiniaci et uxor mea Elisabeth" confirmed donations made by "antecessorum nostrorum...dominus Milo et filii eius" to Fontaine-Jean abbey by charter dated 24 Nov 1160, witnessed by "Willelmus de Cortiniaco..."[252].

The 1166/67 Pipe Roll records "filie Regin de Crtinni" in London/Middlesex[253]. As discussed above in the introduction to section showing Elisabeth's father, it is possible that this entry relates to Elisabeth. "Petrus...Ludovici Francorum regis frater" granted privileges to Montargis, with the consent of "uxoris su? Helisabeth et Petri filii sui", by charter dated 1170[254].

"Petrus regis frater et Curtiniacensis dominus" confirmed donations to Fontaine-Jean abbey, with the consent of "uxor mea Ysabel et primogenitus meus Petrus", by charter dated 1170, witnessed by "Ex parte domini et pueri..."[255].

"Petrus de Curtiniaco frater regis" confirmed donations made to Fontaine-Jean abbey by "Guillelmus de Curtiniaco" on leaving for Jerusalem, with the consent of "uxoris mei Elisabeth", by undated charter[256].

"Petrus frater regis dominus de Monteargi et de Curtiniaco" donated property to Fontaine-Jean abbey on leaving for Jerusalem, with the consent of "uxor mea Ysabel et filius meus Petrus", by charter dated 1179[257].

"Elisabeth domina de Curteneto mater Petri comitis Nivernensis" donated money to Paris Notre-Dame, for the anniversary of "Petri mariti meio", and a further donation to the Knights Hospitallers after she died, by charter dated 1189[258]. Bouchet states that Elisabeth confirmed donations to "l' abbaye des Escharlis" in 1205 "qui est le dernier Acte qu'on touve d'elle"[259]. The necrology of the Eglise Cath?drale de Paris records the death "XVIII Kal Oct" of "Helysabeth mater Petri comitis Autisiodorensis"[260].

Pierre [I] & his wife had eleven children:

1. PIERRE [II] de Courtenay ([after 1158]-Epirus after Jun 1219).
2. daughter .
3. ALIX de Courtenay ([1160/65]-12 Feb 1218).

6. ROBERT de Courtenay (-Palestine 5 Oct 1239).
7. PHILIPPE de Courtenay (-[before Apr 1183]).
8. --- de Courtenay .
9. CONSTANCE de Courtenay ([1168]-after 1231).
10. GUILLAUME de Courtenay (-[Apr 1233/1248], bur Abbaye de Quincey near Langres).
