  • Story: Research Notes

    <blockquote><font size="-1"><p>Many secondary sources (included the cited Ancestral File) have Bernard I de la Marche married to Amelia d&#39; AULNAY, daughter of Cadelon IV, Vicomte d&#39; AULNAY. A few secondary sources show Bernard&#39;s wife to have been Amelia de RAZ&Egrave;S. The primary sources that I&#39;ve seen only mention her first name, Am&eacute;lie. </p><p>----------------------------------------- </p><p>The Chronicle of Ad&eacute;mar de Chabannes names &quot;<strong><em>Bernardus</em></strong>&quot; as son of &quot;<em>Aldebertus frater [Helias Petragoricensi comite]</em>&quot; and his wife &quot;<em>sorore Widonis vicecomitis</em>&quot;. The Chronicle of Saint-Maxence names &quot;<em>Audeberti comitis Marchi&aelig;&hellip;filius <strong>Bernardi</strong>, qui fuit Audeberti, qui fuit Bosonis, qui Sulpicii, qui fuit Godfredi primi comitis de Karrofo</em>&quot;. The Chronicle of Ad&eacute;mar de Chabannes names &quot;<em><strong>Bernardo</strong> filio Hildeberti</em>&quot;, specifying that he succeeded in la Marche on the death of Boson Comte de P&eacute;rigord et de la Marche. He succeeded his uncle in [1003/12] as Comte de la Marche... </p></font><p><font size="-1">[Amelie&#39;s] marriage is confirmed by the charter dated to [1053] under which &quot;<em>Guilabertus episcopus filius qui fui Richeldis femine</em>&quot; swore allegiance to her daughter &quot;<em>Almodis comitissa, filia que es <strong>Amelie</strong> comitisse</em>&quot;, also naming &quot;<em>Remundus comes, senior meus, filio qui fuit Sanci&aelig; comitisse</em>&quot;. The wording of this document also confirms that Am&eacute;lie was still alive at that date. It is possible that Am&eacute;lie was related to Ermengarde, daughter of Hugues Garsinus de Corson, who married Bernard Vicomte de Comborn..., as she donated to Uzerche her share in property at &quot;<em>Montecenso</em>&quot;, part of which was later donated by Am&eacute;lie&acute;s son Eudes Comte de la Marche... If this hypothesis is correct, the chronology suggests that Am&eacute;lie would have belonged to the previous generation and therefore could have been the sister of Hugues de Corson. Am&eacute;lie must have died soon after this charter as a charter also dated to [1053] records that &quot;<em>Udalardus filius que sum Ermengardis femin&aelig;</em>&quot; swore allegiance to &quot;<em>domne Almodi comitiss&aelig;, filia qu&aelig; fuisti <strong>Ameli&aelig;</strong> comitiss&aelig;</em>&quot;.</font></p></blockquote>
