Mabel de Vivonne

Mabel de Vivonne,[3] born about 1255, died before 1 November 1299, married Fulk (or Foucaud) D'Archiac.

Scholling wrote:

It is from biographies of French cardinals that we learn that Mabel also married into the Rochechouart family. The mother of Archbishop Simon d'Archiac is called "a daughter of a Rochechouart viscount", and more specifically that she was Marguerite de Rochechouart, a sister of Aimery [IX].39 If so, then Mabel's husband, Fulk d'Archiac was a brother of Simon and cousin of the men Joan and Sybil married.
Evidence for Mabel’s marriage is the same as for her sisters – the Somerset Pleas and entries in the CPR. In 1269 she was still single but in 1278 Fulk established his claim to the manor of Woodmansterne, Surrey by right of his wife, of which one third was held by Matilda in dower. In 1294 only Fulk is mentioned,40 so Mabel had probably died by then – the only daughter who did not survive her mother.
In 1283 an Adémar d'Archiac and probably viscount Aimery [IX] or (possibly) [XI] disagreed about the succession of Simon, archbishop of Bordeaux (who had died in 1279) and they appointed arbitrators.41 The outcome is not recorded, nor is the basis of the dispute, nor which Adémar (Aymer) is involved, but it is evidence that the Archiacs were members of the Rochechouart family.

Charles Cawley on MEDLANDS seems only to recognize one son of Mabel, Aymer (as of 20 May 2016).
