“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.

Comment on Agnes [his 2nd wife] is required, because scholars are often misidentified her. She was the daughter and heiress of Guy, lord of Braine, who died in or before 1145, and granddaughter of Andrew de Baudemont, seneschal of Theobald II of Champagn (Theobald IV of Blois) and his wife Agnes of Braine. The combined evidence of the charter to Prémontré and the obituary notices from Saint-Yved (in Duchesne) and [charter] no. 2 below establishes the genealogy.") ("Renaud" or "Renaud Pauper" served as a witness to charters dated 1152 and 1155 as "cognatus" [kinsman] of Robert, Count of Dreux; author suggests Renaud may be the same person as Reynold de Courtenay, supposed son of Count Robert's uncle, Fleury of France).
