Count of Montaigu

Legg inn av wim » 16 apr 2005 15:34:36

Hello,

I would be glad to find some information about the ancestry of the
first Count of Montaigu, Gozelo, whose son Cono married with Ide de
Fouron.

This Gozelo married with Ste. Ermengarde of Aspel and of
Rumigny-Florennes, later with Ermentrude de Grandpre.

Thanks for some feedback, Wim

Dear Wim,
A very interesting question, but one which I don`t have an
answer to. There were other men of that name at that time or slightly earlier,
who may or may not have any connection to him. Gozelo / Gozelon, Duke of Lower
Lorraine being one, the various Spanish Gonzalos being another instance of
the name. sorry not to be of more help.
Sincerely,

The last thing I want to do is start another hoohaa over name spelling,
but I don't think these two names, Gozelon and Gonzalo, represent
variants of the same name - that the similarity is coincidental.

Dear Todd,
No doubt You`re correct . Spain to Lorraine is a pretty
good distance for these families to cover in the eleventh century, unless You
were a nomad, a Norse raider or a Crusader.

It was not only the distance, but the origin of the Spanish name that
suggested that they were distunct - Gundesalvez. It occured to me that
Gozelon and Jocelin would sound the same when spoken. Perhaps there is
something there, but I don't know.

I should think that the initial sounds of the two names, 'Gozelon' and
'Jocelin' were quite distinct enough, (at that time), to ascribe different
origins. What would help would be someone familiar enough with Old French,
(ancien français, ou français ancien?), to ascertain the origins of these
two names.

Marie-Thérèse Morlet [ in _Les noms de personne sur le territoire de

as variants of the same name - the shift from Goz to Jos occurred also with
Gozfrid/Josfred and other names with the same initial element.

Hello,

I would be glad to find some information about the ancestry of the
first Count of Montaigu, Gozelo, whose son Cono married with Ide de
Fouron.

Here's what I have about the first Count of Montaigu:

Gozelon de Montaigu (°1028-+1055Marloie, bur.St Hubert)
Montaigu: from Latin Mons Acutus, (sharp mount),on the left bank of the
Ourthe River near the village of Marcourt (Laroche)
Count of Behogne ( ancient name of Laroche).All these places now in Belgian
province of Luxemburg)
= Gozelon de Behogne ( = Gauzhelm,Gothelon,Gozelin,Gozilon)
X Ermengarde de Harzé (§des Comtes de Grandpré en Champagne), desc.from the
Comtes Palatins du Rhin

From there
Conon de Montaigu ( Ct of Montaigu, advocatus of Dinant,Lord of Rochefort)
sold some of his estate in Nassogne to join the Crusaders.Participated with
his eldest son Gozelon (who died in Antioch1097)
Came back and founded a chapel and the Abb of Neufmoustier with Pierre
L'Ermite 1101
His other son Thibaud de Fouron-Fauquemont (Voeren-Valkenburg in Dutch)
inher. his mother's estates (Thibaud de Montaigu !1086)

Sorry I have no sources.Thierry Strasser could help, I think.

Hope this helps a little,
Patrick.

Wim,

Alan V. Murray in his "The Crusader Kindom of Jerusalem. A Dynastic
History 1099-1125" (Prosopographica et Genealogica, Oxford 2000),
189-190, tells us of a probable relationship of count Cono of Montaigu
with duke Godfrey of Bouillon.

"Cuno de Monte Acuto or Cono comes de Monteacuto Leodiensis dyocesis
was the eldest son of Gozelo, count of Behogne (+ 1064), and
Ermentrude of Harzé, a noblewoman who held lands in the Hesbaye."

"Before 1028 Gozelo was enfeoffed with the county of Huy."

"Nevertheless a kinship is indicated by the name Gozelo, borne by
Cono's father as well as his eldest son, as well as in several
generations of the Ardennes-Bouillon dynasty, although not,
significantly, by the Luxembourg and Bar branches of the Ardennes
lineage. A further link may have been via Ermentrude, who was a blood
relative (proximus in sanguine) of Henry of Verdun, himself known to
have been related to the Ardennes-Bouillon family."

Your assumption that Gozelo married first with Ste. Ermengarde of
Aspel
and of Rumigny-Florennes is most likely mistaken. Both persons are
associated with the Southern part of the Dutch province of Limburg.
Ermengard of Aspel is known to be a daughter of Godizo. Her unnamed
mother married tree times. Godizo (Godfried) was her first husband. He
was a son of a Richizo (Richwin).

Aan je voornaam te oordelen kan ik je in het Nederlands verder
verwijzen naar een brochure (10) van Henk Verdonk "Ermentrud, een
Utrechtse gravin?", Lelystad 1996, 44 pagina's. De brochure is te
bestellen bij H. Verdonk, Tjalk 42-80, 8232 NB Lelystad, Nederland. Of
anders kan ik je buiten de nieuwsgroep om verder op weg helpen. Deze
brochure handeld over de Nederlandse nakomelingen van Godizo.

With regards,
Hans Vogels

X Ermengarde de Harzé (§des Comtes de Grandpré en Champagne), desc.from
the
Comtes Palatins du Rhin

Count Gozelon of Montaigu & Behogne was most probably the man who first
occurs in an imperial diploma dated 19 April 1028, identified as Gozelon of
Huy ("in comitatu Gozelonis de Hoio"). The rulers of petty countships at
that time & place were often designated by their current place of residence.
He died in 1064, not 1055, supposedly struck down by divine retribution
after a night of revels when his followers plundered serfs belonging to
Saint-Hubert abbey. In dying he expressed a wish to be buried there, and his
widow made reparations to arrange this.



The genealogy of this family was established by Charles-Gustave Roland in
'Les seigneurs et comtes de Rochefort', _Annales de la Société archéologique
de Namur_ 20 (1893) 63-144 & 330-447 (reprinted Brussels, 1982).


From there
Conon de Montaigu ( Ct of Montaigu, advocatus of Dinant,Lord of Rochefort)
sold some of his estate in Nassogne to join the Crusaders.Participated
with
his eldest son Gozelon (who died in Antioch1097)
Came back and founded a chapel and the Abb of Neufmoustier with Pierre
L'Ermite 1101
His other son Thibaud de Fouron-Fauquemont (Voeren-Valkenburg in Dutch)
inher. his mother's estates (Thibaud de Montaigu !1086)

According to Roland there were two more sons between Gozelon & Thibaud:
Count Lambert of Clermont, who succeeded their father Conon as count of
Montaigu & seigneur of Rochefort, and Henri, archdeacon of Liège.
