Biography
Lisiard de Sablé 1 made himself known first by his claims against the priory of Sablé, concerning the gifts of his grandfather and his father; he ends up reducing his demands to the right to punish the thieves seized on the fief of the monks. He had similar procedures towards the abbey of Saint Vincent in the fief of Noyen and withdrew from it with difficulty. Around the same time, when Geoffroy, his son, was still quite young, puerulus , he assisted Count Foulque the young ceding the Ponts-de-Cé to the Abbey of Fontevrault , appeared at the consecration of the church of this monastery, in 1119, gave the nuns in common with the Count the land of Boisfroterel ; finally, with his wife, gave Ronceray the mill of Rossereio and two hovels in Morannes . He increased the foundations of his people in favor of Marmoutier .
With him the family begins to become combative. Lisiard began with a bitter war against the young lord of Laval , Guy III de Laval , we do not know on what subject, and, to protect his castle of Sablé, built one in the lands of the priory of Saint-Loup , with a house strong for Hugue Normand, his faithful. It was long after, in 1123 , that he settled the indemnity promised to the monks. Gilles Ménage had understood that this regulation was contemporary with the construction of the castle: it is several years later, olim , says the text, which makes it possible to place the war against Guy de Laval, adhuc juvenis, before that which will follow, where the two lords found themselves in league against the King of England.
In 1118 , in the month of November, he was following the count at the siege of Alençon , and on December 18 commanded the vanguard, assisted by Guy III de Laval, Robert de Semilly , Gautier de Mayenne , d ' Hugues de Mathefelon and Thibault , his son, by Maurice de Craon , at the battle of Séez , where he inflicted a famous defeat on Henry I of England , transformed by Orderic Vital into a simple skirmish, but which in reality cost four thousand men to the king of England 2.
Main article: Battle of Sées .
Lisiard, lord of Sablé, of Suze-sur-Sarthe , of Briollay by his marriage, found himself so powerful that he dared to enter the coalition of the counts of Thouars , of Parthenay , of the lords of Blaison , of Laval and others, against Geoffroy Plantagenet 3 . On his own, he went shopping to the gates of Angers.
His son Robert was already in the plot. But Geoffroy took and burned Briollay, plundered the countryside of Sablé and pushed as far as La Suze, which he seized and kept until the death of Lisiard, after 1130 .
Abbé Angot does not believe he should attribute to Lisiard de Sablé the story of a Lisiard who had a Count of Maine taken to a place of asylum, for which he was condemned by the Council of Chartres in 1128 . The count of Maine was in 1128 the count of Anjou, Foulque the younger , husband of the daughter of Hélie de la Flèche . Menage wants the text to read viscount instead of count . It would be Raoul, son of Hubert II of Beaumont-au-Maine , of whom no such thing is said.
Lisiard had married Tiphaine , called Chevrière de Briollay , daughter of Geoffroi de Briollay and Sermoise (Sermaise) near Jarzé .
Tiphaine was eldest sister of Exulate , lady of Château-Gontier, and of Pétronille , and thus found herself heiress before 1112 of the land of Briollay, which was added, according to the traditions of the family, to the other inheritances of her father and of her husband's ancestor. Chevrière de Briollay had attended in 1103 the donation of the church of Jarzé to Saint-Maurice , approved in 1112 that which his father had made to Saint-Serge en Écouflant . In 1120 , she attended the ingrès at Ronceray of Agnès, daughter of Garnier Robin; in1123 to her husband's settlement with the priory of Saint-Loup ."
