Gascony - LoveToKnow 1911 During this troubled period Gascony was from time to time attached to one or other of the other Vascon states which had been formed on the southern slope of the Pyrenees, but in the reign of Hugh Capet it was considered as forming part of France, from which it has never been separated. Gascony was governed on the same lines as other parts of France and from the time of Henry IV., who was prince of Beam, and who united his hereditary lands with the crown, its history differs very slightly from that of the rest of the country. As may be surmised the boundaries of Gascony varied from time to time, but just before the outbreak of the Revolution they were the Atlantic Ocean, Guienne, Languedoc and the Pyrenees, and from east to west the duchy at its greatest extent measured 170 m. www.1911encyclopedia.org /Gascony   (1121 words)

William VIII of Aquitaine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia William VIII of Aquitaine, (Guillaume VIII in French) (1025 – September 25, 1086), whose name was Guy-Geoffroy before becoming Duke of Aquitaine, was Duke of Gascony (1052-1086), and then Duke of Aquitaine and Count of Poitiers (as William VI of Poitiers) between 1058 and 1086, succceeding his brother William VII (Pierre-Guillaume). William VIII was one of the leaders of the allied army called to help Ramiro I of Aragon in the siege of Barbastro (1064).

William the Conqueror William or his advisers may have begun to weigh this chance very early; but all that is really certain is that William was a friend and favourite of his elder kinsman, and that events finally brought his succession to the English crown within the range of things that might be. William, as ever, shed no blood; he harmed none of the men who had become his subjects; but Le Mans was to be bridled; its citizens needed a castle and a Norman garrison to keep them in their new allegiance. William, by ingeniously mixing all kinds of irrelevant issues, contrived to remove the dispute from the region of municipal into that of international law, a law whose chief representative was the Bishop of Rome. www.gutenberg.org /dirs/etext97/wlmcn10h.htm   (23878 words)

William the Conqueror   (Site not responding. Last check: ) William undoubtedly owed a debt of gratitude to his overlord for good help given at Val-es- dunes, and excuses were never lacking for a quarrel between Anjou and Normandy. William was to be allowed to keep those parts of his duchy, against which he had to fight when the King was his ally at Val-es-dunes. William, the enemy of Harold but no enemy of theirs, might be satisfied with the part of England which was under the immediate rule of Harold and his brothers, and might allow the house of Leofric to keep at least an under-kingship in the North. www.blackmask.com /olbooks/wilcon.htm   (25030 words)

The Children of William Marshal and Isabel de Clare William Marshal senior was elected regent for King Henry III at Winchester by the papal legate Gualo and the leading magnates of England.

This family was allied to the earlier lords of the region, for a sister of Count William of Périgord, Santia, married Ademar, count of Poitou, mentioned earlier.

Gencap4 William de Lambourne was succeeded as sheriff by the quondam London burgess Hugh le Blount [17]whose financial competence was, if anything, even more doubtful though he seems to have been more adept at extracting himself from the clutches of the Exchequer. William de Wauton [A] and Walter le Baud [B] were not appointed to act on commissions of Oyer and Terminer until the reign of Edward IInd, although both were active in other fields in the late thirteenth century.

Gascony: Encyclopedia II - Gascony - History Although the Basque clans dominated Gascony, the gradual abandonment of the Basque related Aquitanian language in favor of a local vulgar Latin, which was well under its way, was not reversed. Indeed, eventually the dukes of Gascony probably adopted themselves Gascon, which is reflected in the declining use of authentically Basque names by the last dukes. Usually, the dukes and counts of Gascony had two names, the first one being their given name, the second one being the given name of their father (e.g.: Duke Sancho I Lobo, which means this is Duke Sancho I, son of Lobo). www.experiencefestival.com /a/Gascony_-_History/id/1418072   (1258 words)

Ademar of Chabannes on John the Baptist When Duke William heard this on his return from Rome after Easter, he was filled with joy and decreed that the holy head should be shown to the people.

The Development of Southern French and Catalan Society, 718-1050 Gascony, like the rest of the Midi, began to be a land covered with abbeys. In Eastern Gascony, we find the newly re-established archbishopric of Auch had, by this period, come under the control of nearby local ruling families, with Archbishop Raymond, uncle of the count of Fézensac, holding [322] this important office during the first years of the eleventh century. At about the same period in nearby Gascony, we learn from our sources that Viscount William Forto restored land to the abbey of Mas Grenier, because he had violated the monastery's right of sanctuary by seizing a certain Bernard who was taking refuge there. libro.uca.edu /lewis/sfc16.htm   (8231 words)
