Here's the latest version of my humble little *trente-deux quartiers*
*Ahnenreihe* for Eleanor of Aquitaine. This is version 5.1, and I'll
continue to work on it.

Please remember that this is a work in progress. I'm sure there are many
shortfalls and potential or actual errors. My initial goal was to put the
names and places in French, as much as feasible, but without the
diacritics --- which don't yet port easily through all ISP's. Eleanor's
name has been left in English. There are many other practical compromises
with that Platonic ideal.

Extensive notes, which draw out and elucidate some of the ambiguities and
uncertainties, have been suppressed for this edition, in order to keep the
length manageable.

Laurent Ohier and his wife Yoshiko have been *very* helpful in this entire
process. Laurent has kindly corrected my schoolboy French and gently guided
me onto the right path. Any errors that remain are my fault and not Laurent
nor Yoshiko Ohier's, who make their home in Brest, Bretagne, France.

My profound thanks also to Alan B. Wilson, Leo van de Pas and Ed Mann, who
provided so much of the original data upon which the *trente-deux quartiers*
*Ahnenreihe* is based, primarily taken from Weis's AR7, Faris's
"Plantagenet Ancestry" and Cokayne's "The Complete Peerage."

I have also used dozens of ancillary sources, including historical maps of
France, in my private collections.

Charles Koberg and covername "Sisyphus" [a person, who may be an
*aficionado* of Albert Camus [1913-1960] [or perhaps just a fan of
Sisyphus's --- continuously rolling that stone up the mountain] --- as am
I --- have all been critically helpful too. If I've left someone out,
please let me know --- and I shall make rapid amends.

I've added the names of French departments and regions to this version.
Yes, I realize this is an anachronism. These were not the names of the
places in the 11th or 12th Century. However, my goal is to help people who
might want to visit the birth, marriage and burial sites of the ancestors of
this marvelous woman, who has so much captured the imagination of the world.

It seems highly unlikely that any of my readers will be visiting these sites
in Anno Domini 1204, the year of Eleanor's death --- when the names, places
and political alignments were, of course, quite different. Eleanor is also
the Ancestor, or Ancestress --- if you prefer --- of many of the people who
frequent soc.gen.medieval, and soc.history.medieval. Eleanor of Aquitaine
is
tentatively my 23rd Great-Grandmother. One of a potential 16,777,216 slots
to be filled at that distant level, ---- as well as many other more distant
relationships, of course. Understandably, I'm not talking about unique
ancestors with that number.

Tens and probably hundreds of millions of folks are descended from this
Great Lady --- styled to perfection by Katherine Hepburn, who won an Academy
Award for Best Actress in 1968, [tied with Barbra Streisand] for portraying
her in "The Lion in Winter." I imagine many of us *see* Katherine Hepburn,
when we think of Eleanor.

This is meant to be a practical, useful document --- not simply an
antiquarian artifact. Please enjoy it. I understand that Ballantine Books
is scheduled to publish a new biography of Eleanor of Aquitaine, by Alison
Weir, in December [ISBN: 034-540-5404]. Perhaps this *Ahnenreihe* may prove
to be a useful guide to some of the central and peripheral characters.

Many of the 10th and 11th Century dates are, in my opinion, quite tentative.
I welcome debates on those dates as well as the later ones.

One date, of particular significance, is the birth date of Harlette/Herleve
de Falaise, Mother of William the Conqueror and the 3rd Great-Grandmother of
Eleanor of Aquitaine.

Alan B. Wilson has pointed out that *Europaeische Stammtafeln* [ES], Detlev
Schwennicke's *Neue Folge* Band III, Tafel 694B does not provide any dates
for Harlette/Herleve.

The 1003 date, reportedly appears in two not terribly reliable sources.
Michael L. Call's, "Royal Ancestors of Some American Families," Chart 403:3,
and Roderick Stuart's, "Royalty for Commoners", 160:32. It may
have been a guess by Call, and copied by Stuart from Call, or some other
secondary source. Alan B. Wilson kindly provided me with these data.

Brian Tompsett, at the University of Hull, has 1012. Ergo, the date 1003
for Harlette de Falaise's birth, while plausible, has not yet been confirmed
to my satisfaction. Why then do I include it in the *Ahnenreihe*? Because I
want to highlight it and draw it to people's attention --- hoping that we
can collectively shake something out of the rafters, and from beneath the
floorboards, that might be more concrete.

Corrections, additions and comments are most welcome. If I've forgotten to
give someone due credit, please let me know and I shall do so. There are no
deliberate oversights intended, required or desired.

I have Robert's 2nd wife, Helie de Semur as mother of # 9, Hildegarde de
Bourgogne.

Thanks for posting the "Trente-Deux Quartiers Ahnenreihe* for Eleanor of
Aquitaine [1122-1204] [Version 5.1]". A few months ago I read a book
written in 1950 by Amy Kelly titled "Eleanor of Aquitaine and the Four
Kings". What a life Eleanor had, absolutely amazing. Do you plan to publish
your research as part of a larger work?

Thank you kindly.

You are absolutely correct. Amy Kelly's book is a brilliant work.

She wrote it at Wellesley and Harvard published it.

One, of many, of the reasons it is such a brilliant book is that it is not
marred by an overwhelming streak of tub-thumping feminist blush.

No, I donated my Eleanor of Aquitaine *Ahnenreihe* to the good folks here at
SGM and SHM.

Cheers,

You are absolutely correct --- and I have it in the notes. Other titles are
there as well.

Should I say Queen of France and Queen of England? The data entry field
length is the current technical constraint.

But, yes --- of course, she was Queen of France, as wife of Louis VII.

Thank you.

This issue as to who was the Mother of Hildegarde de Bourgogne comes up each
time I post the Eleanor of Aquitaine *Trente-Deux Quartiers Ahnenreihe.*

Hildegarde was/is also known as Audearde de Bourgogne and Aldegarde de
Bourgogne.

The crux of the issue is confirming, if possible, the identification for
Hildegarde's Mother as either Ermengarde d'Anjou or Helie de
Semur-en-Brionnais. ES Band II, Tafel 20 is one relevant entry point and is
my source.

Alan B. Wilson and I discussed this in May of 1997 and he said, as follows:

"Yes, Schwennicke (ed.) Europaische Stammtafeln, ii, 20, was what I relied
on. I am aware that earlier sources say Helie. Moriarty, p. 40, for example
gives the explicit date, 16 Jan 1055, for the divorce of Helie from Robert.
If that were correct Hildegarde would almost surely be the daughter of
Helie. I assume that whoever worked on the ES table was acquainted with this
earlier literature and had some basis for giving the firm date, 1046."

Alan B. Wilson <abwi...@uclink2.berkeley.edu>

Now, of course, Alan Wilson may have new data on this matter. I know he is
very careful and meticulous and would update his database if new, convincing
information came to light. He may have more to say.

ES and Moriarty, as well as AR7, are reportedly in conflict on this
identification.

So, my understanding, based on the data currently in hand, is that Robert I
'le Vieux" de Bourgogne married Ermengarde about 1048 and Hildegarde was
born about 1050.

Further, my understanding is that Robert I "le Vieux" had married Helie de
Semur-en-Brionnais about 1033 but divorced, and in fact "disowned
her"---[why I do not know] in 1046. Can anyone here tell us what happened?
Perhaps he just traded Helie in for a newer and younger model? Ermengarde
appears to be about two years younger than Helie?

A critical issue, of course, is to try to nail down which was the first and
which was the second wife. ES and AR7 [108-22] do not reportedly concur.

Helie was allegedly the mother of all Robert's other legitimate children
before Hildegarde was born.

Also, Helie de Semur-en-Brionnais was reportedly born in 1016 but does
anyone have a firm death date for her, i.e., better than just 'after 1055'?

Further thoughts and interpretations anyone? New sources other than ES, AR7
and Moriarty?

Actually, this is not what AR7 [Weis, Sheppard, Faris] Line 108-22 says.
There is no mention of Hildegarde de Bourgogne as the daughter of Helie at
this entry.

Perhaps Ed Mann would care to give us another citation.

He may be thinking of Line 110-22 and 23.

Thank you.

For the genealogy of Alienor d’Aquitaine (her french name), there is a
good table of her 128 ancestors by E. St-Phalle in ‘Heraldique and
Genealogy’, 139 (1996), p. 172. Neverthless this one, as D. S. Hines’,
necessite some minor amendments. I have no time for a complete study, so
I give only there some remarks in reviewing my future book on Aquitaine.
I have marked with ‘*’ the corrections to D. S. Hines’ work. The items
between ‘[ ]’ have to be deleted. Amelia, wife of Bernard de la Marche
was not ‘de Montignac’ : this is an error of J. Depoin. ‘d’Angoulême’ is
a guess of mine. For Otte-Guillaume, you can see my paper ‘Les origines
maternelles du comte de Bourgogne Otte-Guillaume’ in ‘Les Annales de
Bourgogne’, 66 (1994), p. 5-63 (the response by H. de Chizelle, ibid.,
68 (1996), p. 79-83 is largely unconvincing). Be cautious, all this
ought to be checked.

It's good to have Christian Settipani's recommended corrections. I'm happy
to have them.

But, in order to make any changes --- I will need something more than just:

>necessite some minor amendments. I have no time for a complete study, so
>I give only there some remarks in reviewing my future book on Aquitaine.
>I have marked with ‘*’ the corrections to D. S. Hines’ work. The items
>between ‘[ ]’ have to be deleted.

Surely, M. Settipani will understand that if he "has no time for a complete
study" that hardly inspires enough confidence to generate an immediate
change in the *Ahnenreihe*, without a concrete citation.

So, to clarify --- I do not say he is mistaken at all, and he is French,
which helps --- but if he is disagreeing with ES *Neue Folge* he needs to
provide some more evidence. As to naming conventions, there is a great deal
of variability in those criteria --- so, I should expect something more than
just "the items between '[ ]' have to be deleted. N'est-ce pas?

In conclusion, it is delightful to see you posting here and I hope you will
continue to do so.

1. Yes, I indicated that I deliberately put her name in English. Her
French name is in the notes. I agree that one could go either way on that
one.

2. I think Christian Settipani may mean "her 127 ancestors" but I request
he tell us for sure, as it is his statement. If the one he cites is a
full-fledged seven generation *Ahnenreihe* for Eleanor of Aquitaine that
would be 127 Ancestors, plus Eleanor herself.

3. We have not seen a complete seven generation *Soixante-Quatre Quartiers
Ahnenreihe* for Eleanor of Aquitaine here on SGM, in my memory, which does
not in any way imply that one does not exist.

4. If Christian Settipani has evidence for such a marvelous find that has
been vetted and validated by scholars, I wish he would tell us more about
it. That would be marvelous!

All what "ought to be checked?" The response by H. de Chizelle alone, or

Mr. Hines, with all due respect, Settipani himself is an authority. Not that
one should utterly trust in anyone's statement without citations, but he would
not TAKE THE TIME to have posted these comments unless he had good reason. It
was very kind of him to take the time to post these corrections.

I could answer many a question on this group extraordinarily thoroughly, but it
would take time to both (1) do the research in sources I know should be
checked, and (2) write it up to post to the group. I'm lucky to post what I
do, and just do it when I feel I can be of some help. Usually it's just what I
have here at home.

So please respect Mr. Settipani's statement that he does not have time to post
all the sources and explanations that would be necessary. Just say thank you
for his help, and do with what he sent as you would. There is no reason for
criticism.

If you knew the value of his opinion, it might actually inspire "enough
confidence to generate an immediate change" in your account.

Mr. pcr, with all due respect --- I understand your position.

Christian Settipani has written a book, which many people respect. That is
certainly to his credit and I congratulate him. That book, of course, has
no direct relevance to this instant case.

Surely, you understand that for me to accept your cautionary statement:

>So please respect Mr. Settipani's statement that he does not have time to
post
>all the sources and explanations that would be necessary. Just say thank
you
>for his help, and do with what he sent as you would. There is no reason

>criticism.

is totally unacceptable from a *scholarly* point of view.

I am building an Ancestor List that people should be able to look at 100 or
200 years from now. Would you have me say in my source list, "Christian
Settipani, who was a respected French Genealogist, in 1998, indicated that
these changes "must" be made. He stated that he did not have time to quote
his sources but assured me that he was correct." --- ?

Do you think such a statement would carry any weight or have any credence
with a sophisticated audience or would serve a long-term scholarly purpose?

In my humble opinion, we need to take such questions into consideration when
we consider the long term ramifications of what we write --- so as not to
confuse and confound those who come after us.

I have published a *Trente-Deux Quartiers Ahnenreihe* here on SGM for
Eleanor of Aquitaine. I have freely and frankly admitted that it is a Work
in Progress [WIP] and the product of many hands. It is certainly not a
finished opus.

But, would you have me cite as a reference for a projected change in that
document that Christian Settipani in a newsgroup post to SGM on 4 September
1998, indicated that:


>
>I could answer many a question on this group extraordinarily thoroughly,

Or, would you have me deprive my readers downstream because you urge:

>
>So please respect Mr. Settipani's statement that he does not have time to

>all the sources and explanations that would be necessary. Just say thank
you
>for his help, and do with what he sent as you would. There is no reason

>
>pcr
>

So, No Sale, I'm afraid --- No Offense Taken, I Hope --- and I am quite
surprised that you would take such an indefensible and clearly erroneous
position.

Idiot Check:

1. I am not impugning, in any way the data that Christian Settipani has
provided and I thank him again for his time.

2. I am quite interested in more substantive details about the alleged 127
["128"] Ancestor *Ahnenreihe* of Eleanor of Aquitaine, which M. Settipani
has brought to our attention.

3. It is so much better talking to the Organ Grinder directly, rather than
to the Monkey.

This covers *all* 127 of her ancestors for the preceding six generations,
