Maud de Bohun

Legg inn av Gjest » 03 mar 2006 14:45:02

In the course of working on the lords of Dinan and related families I have
come across a reference to Maud de Bohun as wife of Juhel II de Mayenne. If I am
reading this right Maud/Mathilde de Bohun was a daughter of Margaret of
Scotland by her second marriage, which would mean she was step-sister to the
Duchess Constance of Brittany.
Juhel II de Mayenne possessed land in England, inherited from his uncle
Walter de Mayenne, 3rd husband of the Countess Cecily. He also had a substantial
inheritance around Mayenne - local historians speak of 60 parishes.

I have Juhel married to Gervaise de Dinan when her father died abt 1197, and
the lordship of Mayenne was inherited by their eldest daughter on his death in
1220 which would indicate that there were no surviving children of a previous
marriage.
Can anyone confirm this story ?
TIA

Was just taking a look at About's Ancient History on
Juvenal, the satirist, and as I began to read Book 1, "22
When a soft eunuch takes to matrimony, and Maevia, with
spear in hand and breasts exposed, to pig-sticking in
Etruria; when a fellow under whose razor my stiff youthful
beard used to grate[9] challenges, with his single wealth,
the whole nobility; when a guttersnipe of the Nile like
Crispinus[10]-a slave-born denizen of Canopus[11]-hitches a
Tyrian cloak on to his shoulder, whilst on his sweating
finger he airs a summer ring of gold, unable to endure the
weight of a heavier gem-it is hard not to write satire. ..."

Now, what I am wondering is if this Crispinus is the same as
the Crispin that came with WTC and benefitted greatly from
his largesse? Does anyone know?

I'm not sure how this transmuted from a thread about Maud de Bohun, but
if I understand correctly, you are asking whether the Egyptian
slave-made-good Crispinus whom Juvenal satirised in the second or third
decade of the 2nd century A.D. is the same as a man named Crispin who
is said to have come over to England with William the Conqueror in the
latter part of the 11th century A.D.

I am fairly confident that the answer is "no".
