1521 Collectanea topographica et genealogica
By Collectanea topographica et genealogica, Chapter XVII. pp 182-
On the descent of the manor of Gorhambury in Hertfordshire, and of the Anglo-Breton family from whom that estate derived its name.

The manor of which it is proposed to give an account in the course of the following pages, was known by the name of Westwick from the earliest record till Century xiv, by that of Westwick-Gorham during Century xv, and by that of Gorhambury from about the period of the dissolution of monasteries to the present day. The family from whom its existing name was derived, became its possessors about the close of the reign of Henry I.; they came into England, from Britanny, shortly before that period, being descended from distinguished ancestors settled in the province of Maine, France.

De Gorram, of la Tanniere, in the Maine
The de Gorrams can be traced, in Britanny, to the beginning of Century xii. Their castle was situated on a small rivulet called the Futaye, at la Tanniere, seven miles west from the town of Gorram[5] (from which place doubtless the family name originated) and twenty miles n.w. from Mayenne. The name is variously spelt Gorram (the most ancient mode), Goram, Gorran, Goran, Gorren and Goron; its English orthography has, almost without exception, been Gorham from the earliest records. Many original grants by the de Gorrams of la Tanniere to the neighbouring Abbey of the Holy Trinity at Savigny still exist, and were examined by the writer of this article, on a tour in Normandy, in the autumn of 1836; of these, and of other ancient records (which will be referred to in tracing the descent and personal history of this family), a short abstract is given in the note below. [I have abstracted only those relating to William de Gorram]

William de Gorram is the first of this name who occurs in Britanny. His castle at la Tanniere, being on the frontiers of Normandy, appears to have been destroyed, or at least to have been greatly dilapidated, in the early part of the 12th Century, by the ravages attendant on the contests between Henry I and Fulk County of Anjou, during the successful attempt of the English monarch to wrest that Duchy from his nephew William Fitz-Robert. Peace having been restored, a new castle was built at la Tanniere, the chapel of which was given by William de Gorram, in 1128, to the monastery of Mount St. Michael near Avranches; together with a plot of ground for the cells of the monks, an adjoining orchard, the tithe of the men of his castle, the tithe of his market, of his mills, of his ovens, and of his fish. This grant, which is preserved in the College Library at Avranches in the beautifulcartulary of Mont St. Michael, is subjoined (A):
"Ego Guido, scae Caenomanensis Ecclesiae Episcopus, notum facio tam presentibus quem futuris, quod Ecclesia beati Archangeli Michaelis de Normannia sita in Periculo Maris, tempore nostro et praefatae ecclesiae Ricardi Abbatis, recuperavit in diocesi nostra ecclesiam beati Bertivini, in pago Erneiae videlicet. quae tempore longo deserta fuerat per desolationem malorum ipsius patriae, cum cemeterio, et demimis ipsius parochiae, et aliis beneficiis ad ipsum pertinentibus. Capellam quoque cujusdam Castri novi quod Taonaria vacatur, in praefatae ecclesiae parochia, a Gulielmo de Gorram instaurati, (jam dicto Gulielmo coram me apud Coenobium Savigniense annuente et donante, cum terra ad faciendas domus Monachorum, et cum viridario...

Their foreign settlement was at, or in the vicinity of, the town of Gorram (now Goron), in Maine, 15 miles N.W. of Mayenne; a fortified place attached to the fief of Normandy by Duke William, shortly before his invasion of England.

p. 213-214
William de Gorram appears to have been the person who had Chetton and Berwick in Shropshire, by gift of Henry I., and Eudon by gift of Alan fitz Flaald or his son. That this William de Gorram was father of Damietta, the wife of Ranulph de Broc, is quite clear from documntary evidence; - for instance, "William de Gorram gives his land of Staplehurst,(1) which he held under Earl William,(2) to Ranulph de Broc and to his (William de Gorram's) daughter, Damata, and to their heirs; to hold under Earl William."(3)

Ranulph de Broc died, as we have seen, about 1187, holding half a knight's fee in the Honour of Arundel, and probably at Staplehurst above mentioned. His wife Damietta, known to have been heiress of Berwick, Chetton, and Eudon, survived till about 1204. Ranulph de Broc apparently had a son, Robert, by his wife, Damietta, which son survived him. Hence we have a Deed whereby "Damata, formerly wife of Sir Ranulph de Broc, and Robert de Broc, her son, testify that they were presents when the said Ranulph gave his land of Combdena to one Fulco de Bollard; and they confirm the donation." (3)

AGain, Robert de Broc married Margaret, daughter of Richard de Beauchamp, and had by her a son, Laurence. Hence a Deed whereby "Robert de Broc, for the (souls') health of Margaret his wife, of Sir Ranulph de Broc his father, of Laurence his son, and of Sir Richard de Beauchamp, Margaret's father, makes a grant to the Church of St. Paul of Newnham and to the Canons of Ravensden. Witnesses, Sir Stephen de Turnham, Sir Thomas Basset."(3) However, the male line of Ranulph de Broc must have expired on the deaths of the above Robert and Laurence, and before the death of Damietta de Gorram. On the last event taking place in 1204, Stephen de Turnham, as husband of Edelina (Damietta's eldest daughter and alleged heir), obtained livery of Frelbury (Southants), and of Berwick, Chetton, and Eudon (Shropshire). The litigation which ensued between Edelina and her sisters, or the heirs and representatives of herself and her sisters, has been given already in most of its details. I now turn back a few years to add something to what has been said under Idsall, (4) about Stephen de Turnham. -

In 1198 (10 Ric. I.) Stephen de Turnham had a grant of the wardship of the ands and heir of Robert de Leeburn, and of the benefit of the marriage of the said heir. He gave the King 300 merks for the said wardship (5). There can be little doubt that the

p. 215
said heir was Roger de Leybourn, afterwards married to Alianore, one of the daughters and eventual coheirs of Stephen de Turnham. In 1211 we have Stephen de Turnham, as a Tenant-in-capite of Shropshire, holding 100 solidates of land by services unknown at the moment. (1) The land in question was Berwick; but Chetton was possibly included in the estimate. A Quitclaim to Shrewsbury Abbey, in which Stephen de Turnham was joined by Godelina (sic) his wife, has been given under Albrighton,(2) but refers to their interests at Berwick. In March 1214, Stephen de Turnham was dead, and it was then, doubtless, or soon after, that "Eodelina, formerly wife of Sir Stephen de Turneham, gave to Lilleshall Abbey the Church of Chetinton (Chetton), the Chapel of Berewick, and all her right in Haremore." (3) Within a year after Stephen de Turnham's death, and between May and December 1214, a Fine appears on the Rolls, which was originally supposed to related to land in Shropshire; but the marginal affix Salop has been cancelled and Kent substituted. Such a confusion was natural."Roger de Leiburn gives the King 20 merks that he may have such seizin of the Manor of Berwig as he had on the day when he was disseized thereof on pretext of the death of Stphen de Thorneham." (4) It would see that Roger de Leybourn had had seizin of some Berwig during Stephen de Turnhams' life, and that on that Baron's death the Escheators had seized it as part of his estate as yet to be divided. What Berwig is alluded to, I have no inquired.

Before Michaelmas 1214, Edelina, widow of Stephen de Turnham, gave King John 60 merks and a palfrey for liberty to remarry with whom she pleased. (5) She was living in Trininty Term 1220, but decesed before November 1221. (6)

In January 1219, the five dauthers and coheirs of Stephen de Turnham were Mabel, wife of Thomas de Bavelingham; Alice, wife of Adam de Bending, Alienore, wife of Roger de Leybourn, and Alienore, wife of Ralph fitz Bernard, and Beatrix, wife of Ralph de

This extract is genealogically useful, and the Fine and Suit were doubtless those already alluded to (Vol. I. pp. 171,. 172) but Halstead's date for the above Placita-Roll must, I imagine, be wrong by more than 20 years.

A Visitation of the Seats and Arms of the Noblemen and Gentlemen ..., Volume 2
By Sir Bernard Burke, pp. 20-

GORHAM: The Goprhams came into England immediately after the Conquest; for "W. Filius Gorham" occurs in 1086, in Doomsday Survey (II. 441.) at Cippenhall near fresinfield, Suffolk.

Their foreign settlement was at , or in the vicinity of, the town of Gorram (now Goron), in Maine, 15 miles northwest of Mayenne; a fortified place attached to the fief of Normandy by Duke William shortly before his invasion of England.

Geoffrey de Gorram occurs as early as 922, as witness to a grant to the Monks of Notre Dame de Mars sur la Futaye, at Villarenton (or Villa- Arunton), afterwards called L'Abbeyette (La Bayette, by error, in Cassini's map of France); a small Priory of which a trace still remains, between Goron and Savigny: but Menage (Histoire de Sable) considers the charter as doubtful.

Another Geoffrey de Gorram (*probably the father of Geoffrey, Abbot of St. Alban's, of whom more hereafter) occurs in a grant of undoubted authenticity, at the end of Century XI., or early in Century XII., as being father of Ruello or Rollo or Ralph de Gorram.

Ruello or Rollo or Ralph de Gorram, who, before 1112, gave the perpetual advowson of Brece, four miles from Gorram, to the Priory of Fountain-Gehard, near Mayenne, a Cell to Marmontier Abbey, at Tours. He married Hersendis, daughter of Walter, Lord of Mayenne. He was a benefactor to Savigny Abbey, and was living in 1120. He was probably the father of Robert, Abbot of St. Alban's. His eldest son was William De Gorrom noted above.

William de Gorram, shortly before, or in 1128, built a new castle on his demesne at La Tanniere 10 miles west of Gorram in Maine, France, in the parish of St. Berthevin. He gave both his parish Church and the Chapel of his Castle, to the Monastery of Mount St. Michael, near Avranches, with a plot of ground for the settlement of some monks, one of whom was to perform devinie offices at La Tanniere. He married Matilda, by whom he inherited Livare, La Doree, and (probably) La Tanniere. He and his wife grants lands in Livare to the Abbot and Monks of Savigny. He died about 1155; and was succeeded by his son, Giles de Gorram.

The history of the Chatellenie of Gorram, on the frontiers of Maine and Normandy, being little known, and being closely connected with English history, may be briefly noticed here, from matireals supplied by the Norman Roll and other records. It was held by the great family of Mayenne, from the Counts of Maine, as their Suserain. In 1054, after the victory of Mortimer, William, Duke of Normandy seized this and the neighbouring possessions of Geoffrey Martel the invader of Maine, and annexed them to the fief of Normandy. In 1082 Gorram Castle belonged to Robert, County of Mortain. Henry I. possessed himself of this Chatellenie on the Colmont, and of the neighbouring Castle of Ambrieres, on the Mayenne, by granting in exchange Black Torrington and Nimet, in Devonshire, to Geoffrey III., Duke of Mayenne. In 1135 it belonged to Geoffrey Plantanet, whoc restored it to Juhel II., Duke of Mayenne, on condition that he would assist him in obtaining possession of the dower of his wife, Matilda. In 1162 Geoffrey IV., Duke of Mayenne, restored it to King Henry II. [see remainder of this footnote in capture file] 		DE GORRAM, Sir William (I13567)

1528 Constable of Saltwood Castle contemp. Henry II.

Ranulf de Broc[1] (sometimes Rannulf de Broc;[2] died around 1179) was an Anglo-Norman nobleman and royal official during the reign of King Henry II of England. He held two offices in the royal household as well as performing other administrative duties for the king. During the Becket controversy (lasting until Becket's death in 1170) between King Henry and Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, de Broc supported the king and was granted the administration of the exiled archbishop's lands during the later half of the 1160s. This earned de Broc three sentences of excommunication from the archbishop because of de Broc's financial exactions from the estates. De Broc was with the four men who murdered Becket in December 1170, although he did not take part in the actual murder. At de Broc's death around 1179, he left behind a widow and five daughters, who were his co-heiresses.

Early life and career[edit]
De Broc was the son of Oin Purcel and was the nephew of Nigel de Broc.[2][a] De Broc held the offices of usher and marshall in the royal household under King Henry II. He was receiver of the forest of Witingelega in Hampshire from 1158 to 1168.[2]

Administrator of Canterbury[edit]
During the Becket controversy, which began in October 1163,[3] de Broc supported King Henry II of England and was appointed to oversee the lands and income of the see of Canterbury while Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, was in exile[2] after fleeing England in October 1164.[3] The estates were given into de Broc's custody at Christmas 1164, although the grant was back-dated to Michaelmas (29 September) 1164. De Broc was to pay the king 1562 pounds 5 shillings and 5.5 pence annually from the revenues of the estate. Ranulf entrusted the day-to-day administration of Canterbury to his kinsman Robert de Broc.[b] The de Brocs continued to administer the estates until Michaelmas 1170. Soon after de Broc took up the administration of Canterbury, Becket accused de Broc of despoiling the Canterbury estates. Historians are not clear on whether Becket's charges were just propaganda or if the estates were actually damaged.[4] De Broc managed to secure the support of some of the monks of the cathedral chapter of Canterbury, as some monks were willing to inform de Broc of any proceedings of the chapter that were favourable to Becket.[1]

Late in December 1164 de Broc was one of the royal officials who took possession of the archiepiscopal residence at Lambeth for the king as well as arresting the relatives, clerks, and members of the household of Becket who had aided Becket's flight into exile.[6] In June 1166 Becket excommunicated de Broc for his part in administering the archiepiscopal estates for the king while Becket was in exile.[7] Becket again excommunicated de Broc in April 1169, along with Robert de Broc and a number of other royal officials.[5]

Role in Becket's murder[edit]
In July 1170, Becket and the king were reconciled and the king agreed that the archiepiscopal estates would be returned to Becket's control. But difficulties dragged on and Becket accused de Broc of stripping the estates of the recent harvest and storing it away from the archbishop's control.[8] In November, John of Salisbury was sent by Becket to England to inspect the estates prior to Becket's return from exile. John claimed that although de Broc had originally returned custody of the estates to Becket's officials, shortly before John's arrival de Broc had regained control of the estates and expelled Becket's officials.[9] De Broc was also accused of seizing a cargo of the archbishop's wine and destroying the ship carrying it.[10]

Later in 1170, de Broc was involved in an attempt to keep Becket from returning to England. Working with de Broc were Roger de Pont L'Évêque – the Archbishop of York, Gilbert Foliot – the Bishop of London, Josceline de Bohon – the Bishop of Salisbury, Gervase de Cornhill – the Sheriff of Kent, and Reginald de Warenne.[11] De Broc was part of the party that met Becket at Sandwich on 1 December 1070 when the archbishop returned to England. The group, led by Gervase of Cornhill, complained that Becket was sowing dissension in the land by his excommunication of the Archbishop of York and the Bishops of London and Salisbury, but Becket managed to calm the officials by stating he would consider the matter and reply to them the next day. The next day the group was accompanied by some clergy sent by the three excommunicated ecclesiastics, but nothing was accomplished by this meeting except further offers from Becket to consider other options.[12]

Becket excommunicated both de Brocs again on Christmas Day, 1170.[13] On 28 December 1170, de Broc received at Saltwood Castle four knights – William de Tracy, Reginald fitzUrse, Hugh de Morville, and Richard le Breton – who had arrived from the continent. The five men conceived a plan to surround Canterbury Cathedral and force Becket to rescind his excommunications. On 29 December 1170, the five men arrived at Canterbury, where it appears that de Broc was in charge of the soldiers surrounding the cathedral while the other four went inside to negotiate with the archbishop.[14] The four did not succeed in persuading the archbishop and the situation degenerated into the four men murdering Becket at one of the altars of the cathedral.[15] After this, the four rejoined de Broc and searched the archiepiscopal residence for papers and other documents that de Broc was to send to the king. The party then returned to Saltwood.[16]

Later career and death[edit]
In the Revolt of 1173–74 by Henry II's sons against their father, the king gave de Broc custody of Haughley Castle. On 13 October 1173, Robert de Beaumont, the Earl of Leicester, captured the castle for the rebels and burned it to the ground.[17]

De Broc married Dametta de Gorron, who brought lands at Frollebury in Hampshire and Chetton, Eudon and Berwick in Shropshire to the marriage. Besides his wife's lands, de Broc also held lands worth half a knight's fee at Angmering in Sussex and lands worth a full knight's fee at Pepperharrow.[2]

De Broc's marriage produced five daughters, who were de Broc's coheiresses when he died around 1179. Dametta died in 1204. The eldest daughter was Edelina, and the other four were Felicia, Sibil, Lucy, and Clemence. Edelina married Stephen of Turnham, Felicia married William Harang, Sibil married William de Arundel and Ralph Belet, and Clemence married William de Tatlington.[2]

Biography
Originally from Sussex, Bowyer’s father, a younger son, made his fortune as a successful London merchant.20 Bowyer himself was admitted into the Grocers’ Company by patrimony, but does not appear to have pursued a mercantile career. He instead became a landowner by acquiring an estate on the borders of Buckinghamshire and Middlesex in 1590.21 He must be distinguished from another Londoner a few years his senior, who was knighted in Scotland in 1605 after 30 years’ soldiering on the Borders and died at Berwick-upon-Tweed in 1627.22

Bowyer’s wife was the sister-in-law of (Sir) Henry Maynard†, a client of Sir Robert Cecil†, and it may have been via this connection that in 1602 Bowyer obtained a lucrative post in the Exchequer; he later acknowledged his gratitude to Cecil, declaring that ‘I have ever depended upon his honourable house’.23 It was probably Cecil who recommended Bowyer to the 3rd earl of Cumberland for a seat at Appleby in the first Stuart Parliament; Bowyer may also have been helped by his Westminster neighbour and distant kinsman, Sir Thomas Knyvett*, a former knight of the shire for Westmorland. In the opening session Bowyer was among those appointed to consider the grievances propounded by Sir Edward Montagu (23 Mar. 1604), and to confer with the judges about the controversial Buckinghamshire election (5 April).24 He took part in the debate of 15 June 1604 on the recovery of debts due to the Crown, but it is not stated whether he supported or opposed the repeal of the Elizabethan statute under which the lands and goods of public accountants could be seized.25

During the recess Bowyer was involved in a dispute with the governors of St. Thomas’s hospital in London, concerning a parcel of common land to which he claimed title.26 He accompanied the royal progress to Oxford in the summer of 1605, and was among the numerous courtiers and attendants who received honorary degrees.27 His standing in official circles was sufficient to obtain the reversion of his office for his eldest son, and he wrote to his friend (Sir) Michael Hicks* on 3 Dec. 1605 that with the consent of the customs farmers he wished to add the handling of their surplus receipts to his responsibilities.28 In the second session Bowyer was named to consider John Hare’s radical purveyance bill (30 Jan.), and to help manage a conference with the Lords on the recusancy laws (3 February).29 He was appointed to seven other legislative committees, including those for the repeal of a clause in the Wherries Act (28 Jan.), the recovery of small debts in London (28 Jan.), the supply of water to the capital from the Uxbridge area (31 Jan.), abuses in the Marshalsea Court (13 Mar.), and the foundation of a grammar school at St. Bees, Cumberland (17 March).30 In the third session his only appointments were to committees for a private debtor’s bill (26 Nov. 1606) and the revived wherries bill (13 Mar. 1607).31 In 1609, when John Bingley* succeeded Sir Vincent Skinner* as auditor of the receipt in the Exchequer, Bowyer, who had already experienced Bingley’s ‘unkindness’ at first hand, confided in Hicks that he feared his new colleague would damage his reputation with Cecil, now lord treasurer and 1st earl of Salisbury.32 In the fourth session, he was granted privilege over a Chancery subpoena on 19 Feb. 1610.33 He was named to committees for two private bills and three others, concerning suits against magistrates (28 Mar.), highways (30 Mar.), and prisons (10 May).34 He is not mentioned in the records of the brief fifth session.

Bowyer does not appear to have stood for Parliament again. His eldest son did not live to take up the reversion to the tellership, dying of smallpox in 1613, but Bowyer himself was still ‘in perfect health’ and ‘owing not one penny to the office’ when he drew up his will on 20 July 1614.35 He desired ‘to be interred in Denham church in decent manner, without any great pomp, yet seemly for my calling’, and left bequests to the poor of Denham, Uxbridge, and Westminster, and to the prisoners in Newgate and Aylesbury gaols. As overseers he nominated his nephew Sir William Maynard* and his cousin Robert Bowyer*, ‘clerk of the Upper House of Parliament’.36 At his death on 3 Aug. 1616, the antiquary and herald William Camden described him as ‘Bowyer the rational’.37 He was buried at Denham, in accordance with his wishes. His widow married Sir James Ley* in 1618, a few months before her death.38 Bowyer’s estate was inherited by his ‘sweet grandchild’ William, who was returned for Buckinghamshire at three successive elections between 1659 and 1661.

JAMES TUCKER, Theft AND pocketpicking, 14th June 1841.

Offence: Theft and pocketpicking
Verdict: Guilty and with recommendation
Punishment: Imprisonment Corrections

JAMES TUCKER was indicted for stealing, on the 29th of May, 1 handkerchief, value 4s., the goods of Cornelius Ruck, from his person.

CORNELIUS RUCK . I live in Duke-street, Southwark. On Saturday afternoon, the 29th of May, I was coming into the City—on London-bridge, near the steps leading down to the water on the London side, I felt something trip against my heel—I turned round and saw the prisoner close behind me—I thought he looked rather suspicious, and put my hand to my pocket and found my handkerchief was gone—I followed him to the top of the steps leading to Thames-street, where there was a police-man, but before I could speak to him the prisoner ran down the steps—the policeman and I followed him, but lost sight of him—we went under the arch and up the steps on the other side, and walked half-way across the bridge, but could not see him, but on our way back I saw him—I saw the policeman take him, and find my handkerchief on him—I am quite sure of his person.

Cross-examined by MR. CHARNOCK.

Q. What time of day was this?

A. Three o'clock—there were several persons passing—he was close behind me when I turned round—I did not see any body touch my pocket, but felt it—I could perceive no body near but him—he was looking at me very suspiciously—I looked at him very bard—there was guilt in his countenance—this is my handkerchief—I have bad it about six weeks—there is a knot in it which I tied before I left my counting-house, to re-collect something I had to do in the City—I have no mark but the pattern—I swear it is mine—I swear positively to the prisoner—I took very particular notice of him—he looked round at me two or three times as I followed him—I did not sharge him with it at the time, because there was no policeman—I once did so in another case and got surrounded by a number of the people—the policeman said he had got my handkerchief—he said he had no, the had just come from over the water, but when the policeman found it be said he had picked it up—i expect he knew me for when I turned round a woman was passing, and he stooped down behind her to conceal himself.

JOHN HORTON . I am a policeman. On the 29th of May, I was at the station when the prisoner was brought in—I saw him searched, and the handkerchief taken out of his coat pocket.
(The prisoner received a good character.)

1536 Coronation 3 August 1108 in Orléans Cathedral

Louis VI (late 1081 – 1 August 1137), called the Fat (French: le Gros) or the Fighter (French: le Batailleur), was King of the Franks from 1108 to 1137.[1]

Chronicles called him "King of Saint-Denis". Louis was the first member of the house of Capet to make a lasting contribution to centralizing the institutions of royal power.[2] He spent almost all of his twenty-nine-year reign fighting either the "robber barons" who plagued Paris[3] or the kings of England for their continental possession of Normandy. Nonetheless, Louis VI managed to reinforce his power considerably and became one of the first strong kings of France since the death of Charlemagne in 814.

Louis was a warrior-king, but by his forties his weight had become so great that it was increasingly difficult for him to lead in the field (hence the epithet "le Gros"). Details about his life and person are preserved in the Vita Ludovici Grossi Regis, a panegyric composed by his loyal advisor, Sugerius, abbot of Saint Denis.

Early life
Louis was born around 1081 in Paris, the son of Philip I and Bertha of Holland.[a]

Suger tells us: "In his youth, growing courage matured his spirit with youthful vigour, making him bored with hunting and the boyish games with which others of his age used to enjoy themselves and forget the pursuit of arms." And "How valiant he was in youth, and with what energy he repelled the king of the English, William Rufus, when he attacked Louis' inherited kingdom."[5]

Louis married Lucienne de Rochefort, the daughter of his father's seneschal, in 1104, but repudiated her three years later. They had no children.

On 3 August 1115 Louis married Adelaide of Maurienne, daughter of Humbert II of Savoy and of Gisela of Burgundy, and niece of Pope Callixtus II. They had eight children. Adelaide was one of the most politically active of all France's medieval queens. Her name appears on 45 royal charters from the reign of Louis VI. During her time as queen (1115–1137), royal charters were dated with both her regnal year and that of the king.

Suger became Louis's adviser even before he succeeded his father as king at the age of 26 on 29 July 1108. Louis's half-brother prevented him from reaching Rheims, and so Daimbert, Archbishop of Sens, crowned him in the cathedral of Orléans on 3 August.[6] Ralph the Green, Archbishop of Rheims, sent envoys to challenge the validity of the coronation and anointing, but to no avail.[6]


The crowning of Louis VI in Orléans.
Challenges to royal authority
When Louis ascended the throne, the Kingdom of France was a collection of feudal principalities. Beyond the Isle de France the French kings had little authority over the great dukes and counts of the realm but slowly Louis began to change this and assert Capetian power. This process would take two centuries to complete but began in the reign of Louis VI.

The second great challenge facing Louis was to counter the rising power of the Anglo-Normans under their capable new king, Henry I of England.

Struggles with the robber barons
From early in his reign (and during his father's reign) Louis faced the problem of the robber barons who resisted the King's authority and engaged in brigandry, making the area around Paris unsafe.

From their castles, such as Le Puiset, Chateaufort, and Montlhery, these barons would charge tolls, waylay merchants and pilgrims, terrorize the peasantry and loot churches and abbeys, the latter deeds drawing the ire of the writers of the day, who were mostly clerics.

In 1108, soon after he ascended the throne, Louis engaged in war with Hugh of Crecy, who was plaguing the countryside and had captured Eudes, Count of Corbeil, and imprisoned him at La Ferte-Alais. Louis besieged that fortress to free Eudes.[7]

In early 1109, Louis besieged his half-brother, Philip, the son of Bertrade de Montfort, who was involved in brigandry and conspiracies against the King, at Mantes-la-Jolie.[7] Philip's plots included the lords of Montfort-l'Amaury. Amaury III de Montfort held many castles which, when linked together, formed a continuous barrier between Louis and vast swathes of his domains, threatening all communication south of Paris.[7]

In 1108–1109 a seigneur named Aymon Vaire-Vache seized the lordship of Bourbon from his nephew, Archambaud, a minor. Louis demanded the boy be restored to his rights but Aymon refused the summons. Louis raised his army and besieged Aymon at his castle at Germigny-sur-l'Aubois, forcing its surrender and enforcing the rights of Archambaud.[8]

In 1121, Louis established the marchands de l'eau, to regulate trade along the Seine.[9]

In 1122, Aimeri, Bishop of Clermont, appealed to Louis after William VI, Count of Auvergne, had driven him from his episcopal town. When William refused Louis' summons, Louis raised an army at Bourges, and marched into Auvergne, supported by some of his leading vassals, such as the Counts of Anjou, Brittany, and Nevers. Louis seized the fortress of Pont-du-Chateau on the Allier, then attacked Clermont, which William was forced to abandon. Aimeri was restored. Four years later William rebelled again and Louis, though his increasing weight made campaigning difficult, marched again. He burned Montferrand and seized Clermont a second time, captured William, and brought him before the court at Orléans to answer for his crimes.[8]

Some of the outlaws became notorious for their cruelty, the most notable being Thomas, Lord of Coucy, who was reputed to indulge in torture of his victims, including hanging men by their testicles, cutting out eyes, and chopping off feet. Guibert of Nogent noted of him, "No one can imagine the number of those who perished in his dungeons, from starvation, from torture, from filth."[10]

Another notable brigand was Hugh, Lord of Le Puiset, who was ravaging the lands around Chartres. In March 1111,[10] Louis heard charges against Hugh at his court at Melun from Theobald II, Count of Champagne, the Archbishop of Sens, and also from bishops and abbots. Louis commanded Hugh to appear before him to answer these charges, but Hugh evaded the summons. Louis stripped him of his lands and titles and laid siege to Le Puiset. After a fierce struggle, Louis took the castle and burned it to the ground, taking Hugh prisoner.


Theobald II of Champagne
Rashly, Louis released Hugh, and while Louis was engaged in war with Henry I of England and Theobald, Hugh raised another band of brigands and began ravaging the country again. When Louis returned his attention to Hugh, he found Le Puiset rebuilt and Hugh receiving aid from Theobald. Hugh held out against the King until Theobald abandoned him. Once again Louis razed Le Puiset and Hugh, who had sworn never to return to his brigandage, rebuilt the castle and resumed terrorizing his neighbours. At the third attempt, Louis finally defeated Hugh and stripped him of his possessions for the last time. Hugh later died on an expiatory pilgrimage to the Holy Land.[11]

These were just some of the recalcitrant nobles Louis contended with. There were many more, and Louis was in constant motion against them, leading his army from castle to castle, bringing law and order to his domains. The result was increased recognition of the King's authority and the Crown's ability to impose its will, so that all sectors of French society began to see the King as their protector.

War with Henry I over Gisors

Motte and castle at Gisors.
After seizing the English Crown, Henry I of England deprived his brother, Robert Curthose, of the Duchy of Normandy and quickly took possession of the castle at Gisors, a fortress of strategic importance on the right bank of the Epte, commanding the road between Rouen and Paris. This violated an earlier agreement between Henry and the French King that Gisors should remain in the hands of a neutral castellan, or else be demolished.

This move threatened the Capetian domain and Louis was outraged, demanding Henry, as his vassal, appear before him to account for his actions. The two kings met, in force, in March 1109[12] at the borders of their respective territories at the bridge of Neauphle on the Epte.[12] Henry refused to relinquish Gisors. Louis challenged the English King to single combat to settle the issue. When Henry refused, war was inevitable, a war which would last, on and off, for twenty years.

The first years of the war went well for Louis until the influential Theobald II, Count of Champagne, switched to Henry's side. By early 1112[12] Theobald had succeeded in bringing together a coalition of barons with grievances against Louis: Lancelin of Bulles,[12] Ralph of Beaugency,[12] Milo of Bray-sur-Seine,[12] Hugh of Crecy,[12] Guy of Rochfort,[12] Hugh of Le Puiset[12] and Hugh, Count of Troyes.[12]

Louis defeated Theobald's coalition but the additional effort meant he could not defeat the English monarch as well or force him to abandon Gisors, and in March 1113[12] Louis was forced to sign a treaty recognizing Henry I as suzerain of Brittany and Maine. Peace of sorts lasted three years until April 1116[12] when hostilities renewed in the French and Norman Vexins, with each king making gains from his rival.

By 1119, buoyed by several successes and the capture (through treachery) of Les Andelys, Louis felt ready for a final encounter to end the war. In the fierce Battle of Bremule, in August 1119,[12] Louis's troops broke and were routed, abandoning the royal banner and sweeping the King along with them in retreat to Les Andelys. A counterattack through Évreux to seize Breteuil failed, and Louis, his health failing, looked for peace.

He appealed to Pope Calixtus II, who agreed to help and met with Henry at Gisors in November 1120.[12] The terms of the peace included Henry's heir, William Adelin, doing homage to Louis for Normandy, a return of all territories captured by both kings with the painful exception of Gisors itself, which Louis was forced to concede to Henry.

Intervention in Flanders
On 2 March 1127, the count of Flanders, Charles the Good, was assassinated in St. Donatian's Cathedral at Bruges. It was a scandal in itself but made worse because it precipitated a succession crisis. Soon a number of relatives raised claims, including William of Ypres, popularly thought to be complicit in the murder; Thierry of Alsace; and Arnold of Denmark, nephew of Charles who seized Saint-Omer; Baldwin, Count of Hainault, who seized Oudenarde, and Godfrey I, Count of Louvain and Duke of Brabant.[13]

Louis had his own candidate in mind and marched into Flanders with an army and urged the barons to elect William Clito, son of Robert Curthose, who had been disinherited of Normandy by his uncle Henry I of England, as their new Count. He had no better claim to Flanders than being the King's candidate but on 23 March 1127 he was elected Count by the Flemings.[13]

Louis then moved decisively to secure Flanders, apprehending the murderers of Charles the Good and ousting the rival claimants. On 2 April he took Ghent, on 5 April Bruges, on 26 April he took Ypres, capturing William of Ypres and imprisoning him at Lille. He then quickly took Aire, Cassel and all the towns still loyal to William of Ypres.[13]

Louis's final act before leaving for France was to witness the execution of Charles the Good's murderers. They were hurled from the roof of the church of Saint Donatian where they had committed their crime.[13]

It was a triumph for Louis and demonstrated how far the Crown had come under his leadership, but it was a brief triumph. The new young Count William Clito fared badly, relying on heavy handed feudal ways not suited to the more socially advanced and mercantile Flemings. William's knights ran amok and the Flemings rebelled against Louis's candidate. Ghent and Bruge appealed to Thierry of Alsace and Saint-Omer to Arnold of Denmark.[13]

Louis attempted to intervene again but the moment was gone. The people of Bruge rejected him and recognized Thierry of Alsace as their Count, and he quickly moved to enforce his claim. Louis called a great assembly at Arras and had Thierry excommunicated but it was a gesture. Louis abandoned William of Clito, who died during a siege at Alost on 27 July 1128, and after the whole country finally submitted to Thierry, Louis was obliged to confirm his claim.[13]

Invasion of Henry V

On 25 November 1120, Louis' fortunes against Henry I of England were raised when Henry's heir, William Ætheling, drunkenly perished aboard the White Ship en route from Normandy to England, putting the future of Henry's dynasty and his position in doubt.

By 1123 Louis was involved with a coalition of Norman and French seigneurs opposed to Henry. The plan was to drive the English King from Normandy and replace him with William Clito. Henry, however, easily defeated this coalition then instigated his son-in-law, Henry V, Holy Roman Emperor, to invade France.[14]

Henry V had married the Empress Matilda, the English King's daughter and the future mother of Henry II of England, 9 years earlier, in hopes of creating an Anglo-German empire, though the couple remained childless. Like Louis, Henry V had designs on the Low Countries and an invasion of Northern France would enable him to strengthen his ambitions in Flanders, as well as support his father-in-law.

Thus in 1124, Henry V assembled an army to march on Rheims.[14] It never arrived. In testament to how far Louis had risen as national protector, all of France rose to his appeal against the threat. Henry V was unwilling to see the French barons united behind their King, who now identified himself as the vassal of St. Denis, the patron saint of Paris, whose banner he now carried,[15][incomplete short citation] and the proposed invasion was abandoned.

Henry V died a year after the aborted campaign.

Alliance of the Anglo-Normans and Anjou
In 1128 Henry I married his sole surviving legitimate child, the dowager Empress Matilda, to Geoffrey Plantagenet, Count of Anjou. This would prove to be a dangerous alliance for Louis during the reign of his successor, Louis VII of France.

Final years
As Louis VI approached his end, there seemed to be reasons for optimism. Henry I of England had died on 1 December 1135 and Stephen of Blois had seized the English crown, reneging on the oath he had sworn to Henry I to support Matilda. Stephen was thus in no position to bring the combined Anglo-Norman might against the French crown.

Louis had also made great strides in exercising his royal authority over his barons, and even Theobald II had finally rallied to the Capetian cause.[14]

Finally, on 9 April 1137, a dying William X, Duke of Aquitaine appointed Louis VI guardian of his fifteen-year-old daughter and heiress, Eleanor of Aquitaine.[16] Eleanor was suddenly the most eligible heiress in Europe, and Louis wasted no time in marrying her to his own heir, the future Louis VII, at the Cathedral of Saint-André in Bordeaux on 25 July 1137.[16] At a stroke Louis had added one of the most powerful duchies in France to the Capetian domains.

Louis died of dysentery 7 days later, on 1 August 1137. Despite his achievements, it would be the growing power of the soon to be Angevin Empire that would come to overshadow his successor, its seeds sown in the marriage between the Empress Matilda and Geoffrey Plantagenet and realised through their son, Henry II of England.

Louis VI was interred in the Basilica of St Denis in Paris.

Marriages and children

Epitaph of Louis VI from the Basilica of St Denis, now at Cluny Museum
He married in 1104: 1) Lucienne de Rochefort — the marriage was annulled on 23 May 1107 at the Council of Troyes by Pope Paschal II.[17]

He married in 1115: 2) Adélaide de Maurienne (1092–1154)[17]

Their children:
Philip (29 August 1116 – 13 October 1131), King of the Franks (1129–31), not to be confused with his brother of the same name; he died as a result of a fall from a horse.
Louis VII (1120 – 18 September 1180), King of the Franks.
Henry (1121 – 13 November 1175), Archbishop of Reims.[18]
Hugh (ca 1122 – died young).
Robert (ca 1123 – 11 October 1188), count of Dreux.[19]
Peter[20] (September 1126 – 10 April 1183), married Elizabeth, Lady of Courtenay.[21]
Constance (ca 1128 – 16 August 1176), married first Eustace IV, count of Boulogne, and then Raymond V of Toulouse.
Philip (c.1132 -1160), Archdeacon of Paris[22]
With Marie de Breuillet, daughter of Renaud de Breuillet de Dourdan,[23] Louis VI was the father of a daughter:

Isabelle (ca 1105 – before 1175), married (ca. 1119) Guillaume I of Chaumont in 1117.[24]
Notes
"Probably in 1072, Philip married Bertha, daughter of the late count of Holland, Florent I, and stepdaughter of Robert of Frisia, count of Flanders. [...] For some years Philip and Bertha were troubled by their failure to have a son. The birth of the future Louis VI in 1081 was striking enough for a miracle story to grow up around the event [...]."[4]

Edward Ettingdene Bridges, 1st Baron Bridges, KG [Knight_of_the_Garter], GCB [Order_of_the_Bath], GCVO [Royal_Victorian_Order], PC [Privy_Council_of_the_United_Kingdom], MC [Military_Cross] (4 August 1892 – 27 August 1969) was a British civil servant .
Born in Yattendon in Berkshire, Bridges was the son of Robert Bridges, later Poet Laureate, and Mary Monica Waterhouse, daughter of the architect Alfred Waterhouse. He was educated at Eton and Magdalen College, Oxford. Bridges then fought in the First World War, achieved the rank of Captain and was awarded the Military Cross.
He later joined the Civil Service and in 1938 he was appointed Cabinet Secretary, succeeding Sir Maurice Hankey. Bridges remained in this post until 1946, when he was made Permanent Secretary to the Treasury, a position he held until 1956. He was invested a Privy Counsellor in 1953 and in 1957 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Bridges, of Headley in the County of Surrey and of Saint Nicholas at Wade in the County of Kent. In 1965 he was given the additional honour of being made a Knight of the Garter.
After his retirement Lord Bridges notably served as Chancellor of Reading University. Moreover, he was given honorary degrees from several universities and appointed a Fellow of the Royal Society. He also published The State and the Arts, Romanes Lecture for 1958, Oxford, and The Treasury (Oxford University Press, 1964).
Bridges married Katharine Dianthe Farrer, daughter of Thomas Cecil Farrer, 2nd Baron Farrer on 6 June 1922. They had four children:
Hon. Shirley Frances Bridges (b. 1924)
Thomas Edward Bridges, 2nd Baron Bridges (b. 1927) (a diplomat)
Hon. Robert Bridges (b. 1930) (an architect)
Hon. Margaret Evelyn Bridges (b. 1932) (a medieval historian)
Lord Bridges died at Winterfold Heath, Surrey, on 27 August 1969, aged 77. He was succeeded in the barony by his eldest son Thomas, a prominent diplomat who notably served as British Ambassador to Italy from 1983 to 1987. 		BRIDGES, Sir Edward Ettingdene (I8399)
