“ROBERT I le Grand, Count of Dreux and Braine, seigneur of Brie-Comte-Robert, Chilly, Longjumeau, Savigny, and Torcy, and, in right of his 1st wife, Count of Perche, seigneur of Beanie, 5th son, born about 1123. He married (1st) in 1144 or 1145 HAWISE OF SALISBURY, widow of Rotrou II, Count of Perche, seigneur of Belleme [see ENGLAND 2.i], and daughter of Walter of Salisbury (also known as Walter Fitz Edward), of Chitterne, Wiltshire, Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, North Aston, Oxfordshire, etc., hereditary Sheriff of Wiltshire, Constable of Salisbury Castle, by Sibyl, daughter of Patrick de Chaources (or Sourches) [see LONGESPÉE 2 for her ancestry]. They had one daughter, Alix (or Alaidis, Alaydis) (wife successively of Waleran III, seigneur of Bréteuil; Guy II de Châtillon, seigneur of Châtillon-sur-Marne, Jean I de Thourotte, seigneur of Thourotte, and Raoul I de Nesle, Count of Soissons). In 1149 he was involved in an aborted conspiracy to seize the throne. His wife, Hawise, died before 1152. He married (2nd) in late 1152 AGNES DE BAUDEMENT, lady of Fere-en-Tardenois, Nesle, Pontarcis, Longueville, Quincy, and Baudement, widow of Milon II, Count of Bar-sur-Seine (died 1 October 1151), and daughter and heiress of Guy (or Gui) de Baudement, seigneur of Braine, Seneschal of Champagne, by his wife, Alix. She was born about 1130. They had six sons, Robert [II] [Count of Dreux and Braine-sur-Vesle], Henri [Bishop of Orleans], Philippe [Bishop of Beauvais, Vidame of Gerberoy], Guillaume (seigneur of Brie-Comte-Robert, Torcy, and Chilly), Pierre, and Jean, and four daughters, Alix (wife of Raoul I, seigneur of Coucy), Isabelle (wife of Hugues III, seigneur of Broyes-Commercy and Châteauvillain), Massilie (or Béatrix, Basle) [nun at Channes Priory, afterwards at Wareville Priory], and Marguerite [nun at Charmes Priory]. In 1158 the Bishop of Soissons absolved him from an excommunication pronounced because of exactions against the priory of Councy. About 1177 another Bishop of Soissons lifted an interdict which the bishop had laid on Robert's land because of a dispute with the prelate. In 1170's he was involved in a dispute over property which he had unjustly taken from the abbey of Igny. In 1183 Pope Lucius III authorized the cathedral chapter at Chartres to excommunicate named barons, including Robert, for exactions in that diocese. ROBERT I, Count of Dreux and Braine, died 11 October 1188. His widow, Agnes, founded Saint-Yved Abbey in Braine. She died 24 July 1204. Robert and his wife, Agnès, were buried in the church of the Abbey of Saint-Yved, Braine. In 1204 Hugues de Garlande, Bishop of Orleans, gave 20 sous of rent on the grange of Cravant to Sainte-Croix of Orleans to celebrate the anniversary of his kinswoman, Agnès, Countess of Braine.

“WALTER OF SALISBURY (otherwise known as WALTER FITZ EDWARD, WALTER THE SHERIFF), of Chitterne, Alton Barnes, Amesbury, Chicklade, Etchilhampton, Lake (in Wilsford), Little Langford, Mildenhall, North Tidworth, Rockley (in Preshute), Shrewton, Somerford (in Great Somerford), Tollard (in Tollard Royal), and Wilcot, Wiltshire, Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, North Aston, Oxfordshire, etc., hereditary Sheriff of Wiltshire, Constable of Salisbury Castle, son and heir. He married SIBYL DE CHAOURCES, daughter of Patrick (or Patrice) de Chaources (or de Sourches), seigneur of Sourches (in Saint-Symphorien) in Maine, Toddington, Bedfordshire, Great Wishford, Wiltshire, etc., by Maud, daughter of Ernulph (or Arnulph) de Hesdin (or Hesding) [see CHAWORTH 1 for her ancestry]. They had three sons, William, Patrick [1st Earl of Salisbury], and Walter [Canon of Bradenstoke], and two daughters, Hawise and Sibyl. About 1115 King Henry I gave, or more probably confirmed, to the church of Salisbury two hides of land at Warminster, Wiltshire which Walter, son of Edward of Salisbury, had held. In 1130 he was acquitted of £4 of Danegeld in Dorset and £7 in Wiltshire. He was present at the Council of Northampton in 1131. He was with King Stephen at Westminster at Easter 1136, and at Salisbury at Christmas 1139. He founded Bradenstoke Priory in the parish of Lyneham, Wiltshire in 1139. He endowed the priory with the vill of Bradenstoke and the church to Lyneham, Wiltshire; his charter was confirmed by his wife, Sibyl, and his sons, William and Patrick. In 1142 he granted the manor of Tarlton (in Rodmarton), Gloucestershire to the Cathedral church of Salisbury, in recompense for the harm done to the church by his son, William. His wife, Sibyl, predeceased him. WALTER OF SALISBURY took the habit of a canon at Bradenstoke Priory. He died in 1147. He and his wife, Sibyl, were buried at Bradenstoke Priory in the same grave.

Memoirs illus. of the Hist. & Antiqs. of Wiltshire & the City of Salisbury (1851): 216 ("Of Walter of Salisbury (the next representative of the family) few facts are on record. As a baron, he witnessed a charter of king Stephen, in the year 1136; and in 1142 he founded the priory of Bradenstoke, in the vale of Malmesbury, placing therein regular canons of the order of St. Augustine. After the death of his wife (as related in the Book of Lacock), he assume the tonsure and habit of the canons; and there the bodies of both his wife and himself were placed in one tomb by the presbytery. The name of his wife was Sibilla de Cadurcis, or (in English) Chaworth, by him he left issue his son and heir Patrick, afterwards the first Earl of Salisbury. Two younger sons, Walter and William, are said to have been canons of Bradenstoke. Hawise, a daughter, was very honourably married in France. She became, in 1126, the second wife of Rotrou first comte de Perche; and was remarried before 1145 to Robert of France, comte de Dreux: she died before 1152.").

Genealogist n.s. 5 (1889): 209-212 ("The recent publication of Bracton's Note Book' has brought to light two cases, which supply evidence on this subject ... The first of these cases is to be found in the extracts from the Westminster Plea Roll for Trinity Term, 2 Henry III (1218), in which William, Earl of Salisbury (the famous Longsword), claims, in right of his wife, Ela, from Pagan de Chaworth, certain Manors in Gloucestershire, as those which Patrick de Chaworth, Pagan's predecessor (antecessor), gave in marriage with Sibilla, his daughter, in the time of Henry I, which right descended from Sibilla to his son Patrick, and from Patrick to his son William, the father of Ela. Pagan does not challenge this statement in any respect, but pleads, and successfully, that so far from establishing the claim of the Earl and his wife to hold these Manors in capite from the King, it only shows that the ancestors of the Countess received them in marriage from his ancestors. Acccording to the pedigree thus admitted in court, it is clear that Sibilla was daughter of the original Patrick de Chaworth, who had acquired, through marrying Matilda, one of Arnulph de Hesding's daughters, a share of Arnulph's Domesday manors, some of which were afterwards again given as a marriage portion with Sibilla to Walter of Salisbury ... The difficulties as to the dates of the birth of Sibilla's children, supposed to be involved, have no real existence. All that is known as to her son, Earl Patrick, is that he was of age in 1142, and born, therefore, at least as early as 1121, whilst his sister, Hawise, is said to have become the second wife of Rotrou (III), Count of Perche, in 1126, when she may have been, perhaps, sixteen.").

MAUD (or MATHILDE, MAHAUT) OF ENGLAND, married in 1103 (as his 1st wife) ROTROU II “the Great,” Count of Perche, seigneur of Belleme, son and heir of Geoffroi, Count of Mortagne and Perche, by Beatrix, daughter of Count Hilduin, Count of Montdidier and Roucy. He was born about 1080. Her maritagium likely included the manors of Aldboume and Wanborough, Wiltshire. They had two daughters, Philippe and Felicie. During the 1st Crusade, he fought at the Siege of Nicaea in mid-1097. He commanded a division that broke out of Antioch in June 1098. He crusaded against the Muslims in Spain probably in 1108. In 1114 he aided his father-in-law, King Henry I, at the Siege of Belleme. At the request of his wife, Maud, a hide of land at Wanborough, Wiltshire was given to Lewes Priory. His wife, Maud, was drowned in the shipwreck of the White Ship 25 Dec. 1120. He was Governor of Tudela in Aragon and participated in campaigns in Aragon from 1123 until the mid-1130s. He returned to Perche by 1135. He married (2nd) before 1126 HAWISE OF SALISBURY, daughter of Walter of Salisbury (also known as Walter Fitz Edward), of Chitterne, Wiltshire, Great Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, North Aston, Oxfordshire, etc., hereditary Sheriff of Wiltshire, Constable of Salisbury Castle, by Sibyl, daughter of Patrick de Chaources (or Sourches) [see LONGESPEE 2 for her ancestry]. They had three sons, Geoffroi, Rotrou (III) [Count of Perche], and Etienne [Archbishop-elect of Palermo]. After King Henry I's death in 1135, he and his nephew, Richer de l'Aigle, extorted the castles of Moulins and Bonmoulins as the price for their support for King Stephen. In 1139 he was taken in the English king's pay and defeated the unruly knights of Breteuil.
