NOTES AND QUERIES. [9 th s. vm. DEC. 28, 1901,

Mattre d'Hdtel to the Duke of Normandy, son of Richard Turstin "dit" Bardouf, or Haldup, and Emma, daughter of one of the Dukes of Normandy. According to the charters and La Roque, tome ii. p. 267, Henry I. re- commended the Abbey of St. Evroult to the Bishop of Lisieux, the Count of Mortain, and Robert de la Haye. Count Robert of Mortain founded St. Evroult in 1082 with Matilda de Montgomeri, his first wife. Eudo de Capel's estates went to his grandson, according to the French ' Noblesse,' for his daughter and heiress Muriel de la Haye du Puis married Robert de la Haye, of another family, and had Richard and Raoul. Richard had only three daughters : he married a cousin, Matilda de Vernon, heiress of Varanguebec. The eldest daughter had for her share the barony of La Haye du Puis, also Varanguebec from her mother. She married Richard, Baron du Horn met.

Odo, Bishop of Bayeux, had a son John, who had for his preceptor Roger (see Sauvage, ' Recherches sur 1'Arrondissement de Mortain ').

Robert, Earl of Mortain and Cornwall, married first Matilda de Montgomeri, daughter of Roger de Montgomeri, Earl of Shrewsbury, by whom he had William and four daughters. He married second Almodis, and had a son Robert.

William, second Earl of Mortain and Corn- wall, married Adelidis, called "de Ou " in a charter (' Calendar of Documents preserved in France,' by J. H. Round, Charter No. 1209, date 1100-6). He became a monk at Ber- mondsey in 1140. Taken prisoner at Tinche- bray and blinded.

Emma married William, Earl of Toulouse, and was great - grandmother to Eleanor', heiress of Aquitaine, who married first Louis, King of France, then Henry II., King of England.

Agnes married Andre de Vitre ; her daughter Hawisa married Robert de Ferrers first Earl of Derby.

Denise, so called by La Roque and Moreri, or Agatha by Anselm, married Guy, Sieur de Laval.

Barbe married Baudouin du Bosc, fourth son of Antoine de Cluny; she had four sons and died 1127. (French 'Noblesse' undei

Radeport,' vol. xi. p. 662.)

Maude, Matilda, or Adelais. Anselm says Jiudes de Champagne, son of Henry, called btephen, Count of Troyes and Meaux, second son of Eudes II., called Le Champenois, Count of Blois, Troyes, and Meaux, and of his wife Ermengarde of Auvergne, married Adelais de Mortaing, widow of a Norman seigneur,

daughter of Helvin, Seigneur de Conteville and Herleve. Adelais founded the priory of St. Martin d'Aumale.

Brooke calls her Matild, half-sister by the mother to the Conqueror, and Vincent does not correct him. ' L'Art de Verifier les Dates' calls her " soeur uterine."

Maseres, * Selecta Monumenta,' in pedigrees, p. 389, calls her "soror uterina Gulielnri I " In notes, p. 316, she is called half-sister to the king, by Harleva or Arlotta and Herluin, " probus miles." Also p. 250 says the same. P. 254 (in Latin), Orderic Vital says, " Odoni ver6 Campaniensi nepoti Theobaldi Comitis, qui sororem habebat ejusdem Regis (filiam scilicet Rodberti Duds) dedit idem Comita- tum Hildernessse." She married first Enguer- raud or Ingleram, Sire d'Aumale, killed 1053, leaving one daughter, Adelaide, supposed d. s.p. ; married second, before a year of widowhood, Lambert, Count of Lens, brother to Eustace II., Count of Boulogne, who was killed next year, leaving one daughter, the " wicked " Judith, married to Waltheof ; her third husband was Odo of Champagne, by whom she had one son, Stephen, who became Count of Aumale.

Harlowen de Conteville married first Frede- gonde, and had by her Raoul de Conteville, who came to England and had posterity (see House of Ivry).

Secondly he married Arlotta, or Herleva, and had by her Robert, Earl of Mortain ; Odo, Bishop of Bayeux ; Maud, or Adelais (perhaps), Countess of Albemarle.

Emma married Richard Goz, Earl of Avranches ; she was mother to Hugh Lupus, Earl of Chester. Brooke calls her Margaret. Vincent does not correct him.

Isabel married Guilbert, son of the Earl of Corbeil.

Muriel married Eudes al Chapel.

The ancestry of Harlowen is so far un- known. There is no trace of a John, Earl of Corny n, and the descent through Godfrey de Bouillon, who lived a century after, is of course absurd. The mistake has arisen most likely from Baldwin II., King of Jerusalem, being called " Du Bourg " (see ' Art de Verifier les Dates'). He was father of Millicent, Queen of Jerusalem, whose jewelled prayer book is in the British Museum. Baldwin II. was a " parent" (may mean nephew or cousin) to the brothers Godfrey and Baldwin I. ; he was son of the Count de Rethel, in Champagne.

Pere Anselm, vol. ii. p. 470. says Harlouin de ^Conteville is by some called Gilbert de Crepon.
