Neel St Sauveur

During the period 1050 - 1100, Neel IV St Sauveur and
Eudo his son held the honours.

Neel IV St Sauveur Ist lord of Halton, Constable of
Chester married Adela daughter of William de Vernon
and Emma (daughter of William Fitz Osbern Earl of
Hereford and Lord of Isle of Wight) Their ten children
included Neel V, Eudo, two Williams, Girard, Roger,
Richard, Emma, Bilhelda, and Maheldis.

Neel IV held considerable properties no doubt won in
recognition of his services during the 1066 campaign,
and thereafter against the Welsh. What is significant
is the number of Contentin families that participated
in the 1066 invasion. One has the impression that many
families had strong links which continued thereafter
in family relationships. Pegot-Ogier in his "Histoire
des Isles de la Manche" lists the families involved in
William's attack upon England:

The Corps of Nigel (Neel) Viscount of Sanit Sauveur,
Count of the Contentin and the Isles included Mowbray,
fief in Jersey, Sark, and Aldernay, Viscount Nigel,
Lord of half Guernsey, Guy Neehou, Hue Pigot, John
Pirou, Roger le Bigot, Roger Pigot, Du Homet, de la
Haye du Puys (fief in Jersey and Guernsey), Captains
without fiefs in the Isles but holding enobling lands,
de Montfiquet, du Val de Saire or de See, Dorival,
Brehal, de Brix, des Soules, S.Sever, Rosel, and
S.Germain.

The Corps of Robert Bertrand de Briquebec Viscount of
Bayeux included Robert Bertrand de Briquebec, de Bohun
(fief in Guernsey), Hubert Paisoul, Onfroi de
Carteret, Richard d'Averanches, de Reviers, de
Vanville, Mauger de Cartine, de Val du Sairq,
l'Espine, des Moutiers, Sire de Moion, Oglandes,Wace.

Wace in "Roman de Rou" mentions Nigel Saint Sauveur in
the battle of Senlac. And the Monasticon speaks of
Nigel and his five brothers (presumably not
individuals directly related to Nigel), in the train
of Hugh who was subsequently created Earl of Chester.
Neel received the Barony of Halton, and appointed
Marshall to stabilise the Welsh borders.

Domesday provides evidence that Nigel received
considerable rewards for his services; his son William
being recorded holding the barony of Halton and many
manors.

1060: Charter 1166 Neel IV confirms gift of six
churches in Guernsey by Duke William Count of Normans
free of any claim by him to St Martin Marmoutier and
monks. Neel's wife Adela, sons Roger, two Williams,
Gerard, and sisters Emma, Bilhelde, and Mahildis
consenting to the grant. The deed was witnessed by his
wife, Roger (son), William, Ingulf dapifer, Roger Fitz
Turold, Humphrey Fitz Ansquitil, Reginals Foliot,
Richard de Storavilla, Geoffrey Fitz Robert venator,
Nigel de Glanvilla, Rudolf the Chamberlain, Ranulf the
Chaplain, Serid Fitz Alured, and Richard Fitz Briteso.

1067: Roger St Sauveur commenced the foundation of the
transfer of the Collegiate Church within the enceine
of the Castle of St Sauveur.

1067: Charter 82 (CDF Round) Notification William de
Vernon son of Hugh and wife Emma received fellowship
of Abbay Holy Trinity, freedom of toll of property
including Castle of Vernon. Agreement made with Abbot
Rainer. Witness: William and Emma.

1072/73: Neel IV died. Although he was Viscount of the
Contentin, he appears to have been continuously
engaged in military operations against the Welsh. Wace
reported that Neel IV was killed near Cardiff 1074.

1073: Charter 1174 (CDF Round) Notification by King
William and Neel V (Nigel son of Nigel) confirmed his
father's gift to St Martin Marmoutier of six churches
in Guernsey at Prayer of Abbot Bartholomew, and from
the Abbot himself benefits of the house and a goodly
carpet.

1075: Neel V St Sauveur Viscount of the Contentin laid
claim to the Castle of Le Hulme as his hereditary
right. This claim was repudiated by Countess Adelize.

1075: Charter 421 (CDF Round) Countess Adelize
daughter of Count Richard, sister to Count Robert,
bought from Count Robert Castle of Hulme (Contentin),
and gave it to the Abbay Holy Trinity Caen.

1076: Neel V acts as justice in Duchy Court (Delisle)

1077: Neel V Witness to William's grant to St Stephen
Caen (Delisle)

1080: Neel V converts the monastery of St Sauveur the
Viscount into an Abbay, and endows it with tithes of
Salsoif Forest and grants in Henneville; also the
Forest of Columba and the tithe of Columba and Roche
Castle (Delisle).

1080/1104: Eudo St Sauveur succeeded Neel V as Baron
of St Sauveur and Viscount of the Contentin. His name
appears in many charters (Delisle)

1086 Charter 1117 (CDF Round) Monks of Mount St
Michael claim Ceaux as theirs.

1088/99: Charter 429 (CDF Round) Vernon lists
aggressions against Abbey Holy Trinity Rouen by Count
Henry son William son William Ist after William's
death
(took toll of chotel Hulmus and whole of Contentin)
Witness Eudo (vic), Rainult (vic), Nigel de Oillez.

1092 August Neel III died as a monk at Mount
S.Michael. A relative Geoffrey de Moubray Bishop of
Coutances attended the funeral.

During the forthcoming period 1100-1150, Neel V and
Neel VI hold the honours.

Sincerely Yours,

Paul Bulkley

This reconstruction has two different problems. The William who married
Emma was son of Hugh (a contemporary of Baldwin, Richard, and their
brother-in-law Niel), NOT father of that Hugh. Thus there is no
evidence that a William appears in the prior generation. Further, the
Vernon brothers are called "nephews" of William Fitz Osbern, but in this
case, it seems to be a more generic use - younger kinsman, rather than a
direct genealogical connection.
