the house of Avesnes, and the advocates of Tournai
John P. Ravilious
Dear Peter, Leo, et al.,
While currently reading through notes from Vanderkindere's
edition of Gislebert de Mons (not a short-term project), I noted the
following chart which is largely supported by the documents and notes
I have read thus far [1]:
Wéry le Sor (le Roux), épouse l'héritière de Chièvres.
I
Wéry le Barbu.
________I__________________
I I
Thierry d'Avesnes, Ida, épouse Fastré 1er,
+ vers 1106. avoué de Tournai,
+ avant 1092.
_________________I____________
I I
Gossuin d'Oisy, Fastré II, avoué de Tournai,
seigneur d'Avesnes + apres llll.
a la mort de son oncle Thierry. I
I
I
Gautier Ier Pulechel, avoué de Tournai,
épouse la fille d'Evrard Radou 1er,
châtelain de Tournai, + 1147.
_________________________________I__
I I
Thierry, + jeune. Nicolas,
épouse Mathilde de Laroche,
+ apres 1169.
_________________________________I___
I I
Jacques, + 1191, Ida,
épouse Adelvie de Guise. épouse Guillaume IV,
châtelain de Saint-Omer.
My own notes and the entries I've seen in Genealogics takes this
record from Fastré I onward, but I had not seen the identification of
his wife and her brief ancestry previously. The marriage of Nicholas
d'Avesnes to Maud/Matilda de la Roche is probably the earliest
important marriage of the family from a traditional genealogical
perspective, as this brings in the Carolingian and other ancestry of
the Counts of Namur. The descent from Jacques d'Avesnes on down is
rather well known, esp. as regards his younger son Burchard's
marriage to Margaret of Flanders and all that was engendered there
(Philippa of Hainaut, Edward III of England's queen, &c, &c.).
If there is any correction to the above, or any linkage to any
further ancestry (auspicious or otherwise), that information would be
greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
John *

I hoped Warlop would have something, but nothing there. You say you had not
seen previously the identification of Fastre I d'Oisy's wife as a Avesnes,
but on genealogics she is recorded as Ade (d'Avesnes). My source is
Schwennicke volume III/1 Tafel 50. Here she is recorded as daughter of
(Wedric II).
The interesting part is that as sources is given :
Leon Vanderkindere, Le Chronique de Gislebert de Mons, 2nd edition 1904
Eberhard Winkhaus, Ahnen zu Karl Dem Grossen und Widukind
Dek, the Counts of Holland
and several more, I stop quoting here because I do have Dr. AWE Dek on the
Counts of Holland.
The chapter on the House of Avesnes starts with
Fastre d'Oisy, voogd van Doornik, end 11th or beginning 12th century,
married Ada or Ida, daughter of Wedric II, Lord of Avesnes, who died about
1076.
Fastre has a footnote, which seems tantalising, S. A. Waller Zeper, Jan van
Henegouwen, heer van Beaumont, The Hague 1914, Tafel 1
would love to see that tafel.
Sorry that I could not be of more help.

This also goes down via his brother Walter (d Jan 1243/4) to all sorts of
interesting people through the Counts of St Pol and then on into the Widville
family and then everyone.
