About Guillaume de Forz, Comte d´Aumâle

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_de_Forz_(died_1195)

William de Forz (died 1195) (Latinised to Willelmus de Fortibus) was a minor Anglo-Norman noble, by origin from Fors in Poitou.

He became by the right of his wife (jure uxoris) second Count of Aumale (or Albemarle) following his marriage to Hawise, sole heiress of William le Gros, 1st Earl of Albemarle,[1] and William de Forz, 3rd Earl of Albemarle was their son.

Philip Augustus took control of Aumale (also known as Albemarle) in the 1190s, thus depriving the Anglo-Norman Earls of Albemarle of their continental land-holdings.
