Emenon, Comte de Poitou

Medlands: B. COMTES de POITOU [828]-902 (FAMILY of EMENON)

Three brothers, parents not known:

1. EMENON ([810]-Rancogne 22 Jun 866, bur Angoulême Saint-Cybard). He was presumably installed as Comte in Poitou in [826/28] by Pepin I King of Aquitaine. "Himmoni comiti…" is named as present in the charter dated 9 Jun 828 which records a court held by Pepin I King of Aquitaine at Chasseneuil[203]. The abbot of Nouaillé exchanged property with "Hemenone" (no title added) by charter dated Sep [831/32][204]. He supported Pepin I King of Aquitaine against Emperor Louis I "le Pieux" and, after the death of the former (in 838), his son King Pepin II. The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records that "Emeno…comes Pictavinus" declared "filium Pipini [rex Aquitanie filius imperatoris]" as king of Aquitaine after his father's death, in opposition to the emperor who invaded Poitou and expelled Emenon "et fratrem eius Bernardum"[205]. Emenon sought refuge with his brother Turpion in Angoulême. No primary source evidence has been found which confirms whether Emenon held any specific county between [839] and 863. The Sebastiani Chronicon records that "Muza quidem nomine Gothus, se ritu Mahamentiano…deceptus" invaded southern France and captured "duos…Francorum magnos duces…Sancionem et…Epulonem" and imprisoned them in chains[206]. Jaurgain considers that "Epulonem" was "Emenon Comte de Périgord"[207], although no evidence has been found that Emenon ruled in Périgord at the time. The Histoire Générale de Languedoc dates the event to 850[208]. Jaurgain considers that this is incorrect and redates the event to Oct 853[209]. The Sebastiani Chronicon records that Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks bought peace from Musa, after which the captives were released[210]. "Emmo" (no title added) donated property "in pago Pictavo in condito Vicovedonensi in loco…Mesgonne" to Nouaillé by charter dated Aug 857[211]. Comte d´Angoulême 863: the Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records that "Turpio" was killed by the Vikings and was succeeded in Angoulême by "Emeno frater eius"[212]. He died from wounds inflicted by his cousin Landry Comte de Saintes in a dispute over the castle of Bouteville[213]. The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records that Emenon was killed two years after inheriting Angoulême by "Landrico Sanctionicensi comite" and buried "iuxta basilicam beati Eparchii"[214]. The Annales Engolismenses record the death "866 X Kal Iul" of "Emeno"[215]. The Chronicle of Saint-Maxence records that "Emeno frater eius [Turpio] Engolismæ comes" was wounded fighting "Landrico comite Santonensi", died eight days later "in castro Runconia" and was buried "iuxta basilicum beati Eparchii", leaving "parvulum filium Ademarum"[216]. The Adonis Continuatio records that "duo principes Aquitanici, Landricus et Imino" killed each other in battle in 866[217]. The Chronicon Aquitanicum names "Emeno Turpionis frater, Engolismæ comes" when recording his death[218]. m --- de Troyes, daughter of EUDES Comte de Troyes & his wife Wandilmodis ---. Her parentage and marriage are deduced from the charter dated Feb 893 under which her son "Adalelmus…comes" confirmed the donation of "Cadusciam fiscum" {domaine de Chaource} to the abbey of Montiéramey by "Rotbertus…comes avunculus noster"[219]. Count Emenon & his wife had two children:

a) ADEMAR [Aimar] (-2 Apr 926, bur Poitiers Saint-Hilaire). The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records that Emenon left "filium parvulum Ademarum" when he died[220]. The Chronicle of Saint-Maxence records that "Emeno frater eius [Turpio] Engolismæ comes" left "parvulum filium Ademarum"[221]. A recital (undated) of two miracles attributed to relics conserved in the abbey of Charroux names "Ademarus filius Emenonis comitis Engolismensis et frater Turpionis eque comitis Engolismensis"[222]. The date of death and place of burial of "Ademarus comes, Emenonis filius" is recorded in the Chronicon Aquitanicum[223]. After the death of his father, Aimar was still a minor and was welcomed by Comte Vulgrin who had been appointed Comte d'Angoulême[224]. He challenged the succession of Ebles "Mancer" as Comte de Poitou in 890, unsuccessfully besieging Aurillac where the young count had sought refuge[225]. After Eudes King of France installed his brother Robert at Poitiers in 892, Comte Aimar captured the town and installed himself as AIMAR Comte de Poitou. Eudes King of France granted the abbey of Saint-Hilaire de Poitiers to the bishop of Poitiers, at the request of "marchiones…Hrobertus…atque Ademarus", by charter dated to [894][226]. He was confirmed in his possession of the county by King Eudes in Summer 895[227]. He was also recognised as Comte de Limoges in 898[228]. He was expelled in 902 by Comte Ebles "Mancer" who retook the county of Poitou. Comte Aimar sought refuge with his brother-in-law Bernard Comte de Périgueux. He governed Angoulême on behalf of his wife's nephew Comte Guillaume II after the death of his brother-in-law Comte Alduin I. The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records the death of "Ademarus comes Pictavensis" and his burial "Pictavis iuxta basilicam Sancti Hilari IV Non Apr"[229]. The death "IV Non Apr 930" of "Ademarus comes Engolismensis" is recorded in the Annales Engolismenses[230]. The Chronicle of Saint-Maxence records the burial "930 IV Kal Apr" at Poitou Saint-Hilaire of "Ademarus comes Pictavinus"[231]. m SANCIA d'Angoulême, daughter of [VULGRIN I Comte d'Angoulême & his wife Regilindis de Septimanie] (-Angoulême 4 Apr -, bur Angoulême, Saint-Cybard). The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records that "Ademarus…filius Emenonis" married "Santia" because of his close relations with "Alduino et Willelmo", although it does not specify that she was their sister[232]. On the other hand, the Historia Pontificum et Comitum Engolismensis records that “Ademarus...filius Emenonis” married “Sanciam sororem comitis Petragoricensis Bernardi”[233]. The Chronicle of Saint-Maxence records the marriage of "Ademarus…filius Emmenonis" and "Sancia" as he had close relations with "Alduino comiti Engolismensi et Willelmo Petragoricensi"[234], although it does not specify that they were Sancia's brothers. In a later passage, the Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records that "Adhemarus" married "sororem Bernardi Santiam", referring to Bernard Comte de Périgord who was the son of "Willelmo Petragoricensi"[235]. The passage is specific, but this relationship seems unlikely to be correct from a chronological point of view: the marriage of Bernard's parents is dated to [892], whereas Adémar must have been born in the early 860s at the latest, which is more consistent with his wife having been Guillaume's sister rather than daughter. "Sanciæ comitissæ" is named as wife of "Ademarus comes Engolismensis" in the Annales Engolismenses[236]. The Chronico Richardi Pictavensis records that "Ademarus filius Emenonis comitis Engolismæ…cum Sancia uxore sua" donated property to the church because they were childless[237]. A recital (undated) of two miracles attributed to relics conserved in the abbey of Charroux names "Sancia" as wife of "Ademarus filius Emenonis comitis Engolismensis", specifying that she was childless[238]. She escaped assassination in 918 at the hands of Lambert Vicomte de Marcillac and his brother Arnaud, who were vassals of the Comte d'Angoulême[239]. The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records that "Lambertus vicecomes Martiliacensis et Arnaldus frater eius" were killed "a Bernardo" (clarified in a later passage as meaning Bernard, son of Guillaume Comte de Périgord) in revenge for "Santie sororis sue [Alduini]", without further explanation or detail regarding their offence against Sancha[240]. The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records the death "II Non Apr" of "Santia" and her burial "iuxta basilicum beati Eparchii"[241].
b) ADALELM (-Turenne [Oct] 892). An agreement dated 14 Jun 877 of Emperor Charles II "le Chauve", presumably written with his own death in mind, names "…ex comitibus aut Tedericus, aut Balduinus, sive Chuonradus, seu Adalelmus" as those willing to support the emperor's son[242]. He succeeded his maternal uncle in 886 as Comte Palatin de Troyes[243]. Abbo's Bella Parisiciæ Urbis names "consul Ademarus regi copulates eidem progenie" at the siege of Paris in 886, placing him in his family context by also naming "Odo consanguineus sua" in the same paragraph[244]. "Adalelmus…comes" confirmed the donation of "Cadusciam fiscum" {domaine de Chaource} to the abbey of Montiéramey by "Rotbertus…comes avunculus noster" by charter dated Feb 893 (presumably should be redated to 892), witnessed by "Hirmengarae comitissae, Berengarii, Arimberti vicecomitis, Fredetti vicecomitis"[245]. The Vita Sancti Geraldi Comitis records that "frater Ademari comitis Adalelmus" led the siege of Aurillac in 892 but was captured and died 14 days later a prisoner at Turenne[246]. m ERMENGARDE, daughter of ---. "Adalelmus…comes" confirmed the donation of "Cadusciam fiscum" {domaine de Chaource} to the abbey of Montiéramey by "Rotbertus…comes avunculus noster" by charter dated Feb 893 (presumably should be redated to 892), witnessed by "Hirmengarae comitissae…"[247].

2. BERNARD (-killed in battle [844/45]).

3. TURPION (-killed near Saintes 4 Oct 863).
