Histoire du Château de Long

Translation Aléaume de Fontaines, son of Gautier de Fontaines or Guillaume ??? , Lord of Long and Longpré was appointed mayor of Abbeville in 1185. He was, says Father Ignace, of a majestic bearing, skilful in arms and of great piety....

"King Philippe Auguste who had great esteem for Aléaume de Fontaines appointed him to be one of the main leaders of the French army destined to be part of a new crusade against the Saracens. He was married to Laurette, daughter of the lord and Count Bernard de Saint Valéry, who showed great charity. She even learned medicine to better relieve and help the poor.

"Aléaume de Fontaines left for a 3rd crusade blessed by Pope Gregory VIII, (1189-1192), under the leadership of Jean de Ponthieu, 2nd of the name, who perished with most of his barons during the capture of St Jean d' Acre in 1191. Aléaume continued to fight with the knights left in the East by Philippe Auguste. He was even one of the leaders to whom the king entrusted, on his departure, the conduct of the French army on July 31, 1191.

"During the 4th crusade blessed this time by Pope Innocent III, on April 10, 1204 he was at the capture of Constantinople, conquered for the second time. All the churches were then pillaged; Aléaume sent to France through his chaplain Wibert the Holy Relics in a shrine which he sealed with his seal, wrote two letters, one to his wife and the other to his son Hugues in which he explained the origin and nature of the relics sent (they are still in the church of Longpré which he had just had built). Richard de Gerberoy, bishop of Amiens said they were authentic on August 4, 1205....

"Aléaume died of the plague in the Holy Land in 1205. Laurette had a mausoleum erected in memory of her husband in the vault of the church of Longpré and lived in Longpré with her daughters Marie and Isabelle. When he died, his body was placed in the crypt near the mausoleum of Aléaume.

"In 1205, Hugues de Fontaine succeeded Aléaume." [http://www.long80.com/histoireduchateaudelong.html]
