Letaud de Château-Landon

LETAUD, son of HUGUES du Perche & his wife Beatrix de Mâcon (-after [1050]). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 26 May 1028 under which Francon Bishop of Paris agreed with "Albericum illius supradicti Gosfredi filium et heredum", concerning a prior grant by the bishop's predecessor to "Gosfrido comiti Landonensi castri", with the approval of "fratribus ipsius Alberici, filiis Hugonis Pertice…Gosfredo et Letoldo"[301]. "…Letaldi militis…" witnessed a charter dated [1050] under which Bishop Isembard restored the customs of Beaulay to the abbey of Saint-Euverte d’Orléans[302], although it is possible that this signature relates to Létaud [II] see below.

m ---. The name of Létaud's wife is not known.

Letaud & his wife had [one] child:

1. [LETAUD [II] (-after 1080). "…Letaldi filiorumque suorum Fulconis et Godefridi…" witnessed charters dated [1076] and 1080 of the abbey of Saint-Pierre at Pithiviers[303]. The chronology dictates that Letaud [II] was a different person from Létaud [I], presumably his son, but no primary source has been identified which confirms that this is correct.] m ---. The name of Létaud's wife is not known. Létaud [II] & his wife had two children:

a) FOULQUES (-after 1122). "…Letaldi filiorumque suorum Fulconis et Godefridi…" witnessed charters dated [1076] and 1080 of the abbey of Saint-Pierre at Pithiviers[304]. Vicomte de Château-Landon. [1076]/[1126]. "Fulco vicecomes et filius eius Guillelmus, scilicet Guido Urso" confirmed a donation to the priory of Néronville by "Robertus Bonet" by charter dated to [1108/20], subscribed by "Rainaldus Pulcher…"[305]. The Continuatio of Aimon’s Historia records that Louis VI King of France bought "Moretum…et Castellarium, Boissas, Euram et Cambim" {Moret, Le Châtelet, Boësses, Yèvre, Chambon} from "Fulcone Vicecomite Wastinensi"[306]. The passage is undated, but Estournet dates the sale to "vers 1115"[307]. "…Fulco vicecomes Castrilandonis et filii eius Willelmus et Guido…" approved a donation to the abbey of Rozoy by charter dated to after 1122[308]. A charter dated to [1120] records the repentance of "Fulco vicecomes" for the harm he caused to the priory of Néronville[309]. m (before 1098) BIOTE de Montlhéry, daughter of [GUY [II] "le Rouge" de Montlhéry Comte de Rochefort & his first wife Elisabeth ---]. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed only by a document written in 1630 which names "Fédéric vicomte de Gastinois, fils de Guy…fils d’un autre Guy…vicomte de Gastinois nay de Biote de Rochefort, sœur de Guy II comte de Rochefort et de Hugues de Crécy"[310]. Foulques & his wife had three children:

i) GUILLAUME (-after [1108/20]). "Fulco vicecomes et filius eius Guillelmus, scilicet Guido Urso" confirmed a donation to the priory of Néronville by "Robertus Bonet" by charter dated to [1108/20], subscribed by "Rainaldus Pulcher…"[311]. same person as…? GUILLAUME de Fessard (-after [1130/40]). "…Guillelmus de Ferssarth" witnessed the charter dated to [1130/40] under which "Theobaldus de Nergi" donated property "in Villanova" to the priory of Néronville[312]. Estournet suggests that the witness to this document was the same person as Guillaume, son of Foulques Vicomte de Château-Landon, and ancestor of the future vicomtes de Fessard[313]. He bases this on a declaration under which "vicecomes de Fessardo" was recognised as vassal of the French king in respect of rights held "apud Castrum Nantonis in vicecomitaria et in aliis" {Château-Landon}[314]. This is an interesting suggestion, but it is also possible that such rights were inherited from the family of the vicomtes de Château-Landon through the female line.

"Fulco vicecomes et filius eius Guillelmus, scilicet Guido Urso" confirmed a donation to the priory of Néronville by "Robertus Bonet" by charter dated to [1108/20], subscribed by "Rainaldus Pulcher…"[315].
