Foucauld Ier d'Archiac, seigneur d'Archiac

FOUCAUD d’Archiac (-before 6 Sep 1075).  The relationship, if any, between Foucaud and Mainard, shown above, has not been ascertained.  A charter dated to [1032/1037] records that “Ademarus et frater eius Iterius qui filii fuimus Ramnulfi de Barret, post mortem patris nostri” donated “totum honorem suum...alodium...circa silvam...Chaus” to Baigne Saint-Etienne, and later confirmed the donation with the consent of “...Gaufrido comite Engolimensi atque Fulcaudo de Archiaco”[1021].  “Fulcaudus de Archiaco” donated “terciam partem de ecclesia sancte Marie de Bria et alia ecclesia...sancti Caprasii a Pauliniaco” to Baigne Saint-Etienne by undated charter, dated to before 1075[1022].  A charter dated to [1098/1109] records that “Fulcaudus de Archiac” had donated “alodio...in Beania...in parrochia sancte Columbæ” to Baigne Saint-Etienne (a second version of the same document specifying that the donation was made in the presence of “Iterio de Coingnac atque Willelmo Achart meo nepote”) and that after his death “Ademarus de Archiaco nepos eius” had confirmed the donation and had also donated “pratum...juxta vadum de Chalau...”[1023].  m ---.  The name of Foucaud’s wife is not known.  Foucaud & his wife had [one child]: 

a) [son . Assuming that “nepos”, in the charter dated to [1098/1109] which is quoted below, is interpreted as grandson, Aymar’s father was the son of Foucaud. It is also possible that “nepos” should be interpreted as nephew or another more distant relationship. Maybe his name was Foucaud: an undated charter records that “Fulcaudus juvenis de Archiaco” donated “de alodio suo vineas...in parrochia sancti Micaelis Oxiliacensis”[1024].
