"Gauffridus vicecomes, Hugo vicecomes Castriduni, Rotrocus frater eius de Montfort" witnessed a donation to Saint-Denis de Nogent by "Henricus vicecomes Mauritanie"[901], the charter dated to [1060] in the compilation.

"Hugo vicecomes Castriduni" donated property with the consent of "Gaufridum filium suum…Mithildis comitissa Vindocinensis filia eiusdem Hugonis…Rotrodus de Monteforti frater eiusdem Hugonis" by charter dated [1110/11][905].

m AGNES [Comtesse] de Fréteval, daughter of FOUCHER Seigneur de Fréteval & his wife Hildeburge Goët. [1095/1110]. "…filiæ ipsius Comitissa et Pagana" consented to the donation by "Fulcherius Nevelonis filius" by charter dated to [1072/84][906]. "…uxore ipsius Comitissa…" consented to the donation by "Hugonis vicecomitis" by charter dated to [1080/1100][907].

Hugues [III] & his wife had three children:

1. MATHILDE (-25 Sep, [after 1139]). "…Filii eius Maulde et Pagano qui nondum erat christianus" consented to the donation by "Hugonis vicecomitis" by charter dated to [1080/1100][911], the actual date presumably being in the early part of this range if his son Geoffroy was not yet baptised. "Hugo vicecomes de Castroduno" donated the church of Saint-Léonard de Bellême to Marmoutier, with the consent of "Gausfredo comite fratre eius, Roberto Mandaguerran fratre eius, Comitissa uxore eius, Gausfredo filio eius, Matilde filia eius", by charter dated to [1092/1100][912]. "Hugo vicecomes de Castroduno" donated property with the consent of "…Gausfredo filio eius, Matilda filia eius" by charter dated to [1095/1100][913]. The primary source which confirms her first marriage has not yet been identified. Her second marriage is confirmed by the charter dated 1119 under which "Gaufridus de Castroduno" (her brother) donated property to the abbey of Sainte-Trinité de Tiron with the consent of "uxore mea [unnamed] Hugone filio meo et duabus filiabus meis Aupazia et Helvissa atque nepote meo Gofredo filio comitis Vindocinensis"[914]. "Gaufredus comes Vindocinensis qui cognominatus et Grisa Gonella…uxor eius Mathildis…comitissa necnon Eschirater eiusdem comitis" donated property by charter dated 1107[915]. "…Mithildis comitissa Vindocinensis filia eiusdem Hugonis…" consented to the donation by "Hugo vicecomes Castriduni" by charter dated [1110/11][916]. A list of anniversaries of Vendôme La Trinité records the death "IX Kal Oct" of "Mathildis comitissa Vindocinensis"[917]. Saint-Venant suggests that Mathilde died before 1139, the date of a charter under which “Goffridus Grisagonella comes Vindocini et Johannes filius meus” donated part of the forest of Gâtineau to Marmoutier “pro salute anime matris sue et anime uxoris sue”[918]. However, the repetition of the word “anime” in in the document would be unnecessary if the donor’s mother and his wife were both deceased at the time. The document indicates a distinction between their two situations, suggesting that the donor’s wife must have still been alive at the time. m firstly ROBERT Vicomte de Blois, son of --- (-before 1105). m secondly (1105) GEOFFROY [II] "Grisegonelle" Comte de Vendôme, son of GEOFFROY [III] "Jourdan" Seigneur de Preuilly & his wife Euphrosine de Vendôme (-Saint-Gilles-en-Languedoc 1145). https://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/cfrachacha.htm#MathildeChateaudunM...

Comte Geoffroy [II] & his wife had two children:

1. JEAN de Vendôme (-La Charité-sur-Loire [1185]). A charter dated 19 Jul 1126 records the restitution by "Joannes filius Goffridi Vindocinensis comitis" of property to La Trinité de Vendôme[81]. Comte de Vendôme.
2. GEOFFROY de Vendôme (-after [1136/39]). "Gaufridus de Castroduno" donated property to the abbey of Sainte-Trinité de Tiron with the consent of "uxore mea [unnamed] Hugone filio meo et duabus filiabus meis Aupazia et Helvissa atque nepote meo Gofredo filio comitis Vindocinensis" by charter dated 1119[82]. "Goffridus comes Vindocinensis dictus Grisagonella" confirmed the possessions of La Trinité de Vendôme, for the soul of "uxoris mee Mahildis" and with the consent of "duo filii mei Johannis et Goffredus", by charter dated to [1102/29][83]. "Goffridus filius Goffridi comitis qui Grisagonella vocabatur" renounced his claim to "terra…prope Villam-Dei" in favour of La Trinité de Vendôme, at the request of "Mahildis comitissæ, matrius illius Goffridi", by charter dated 21 Jan 1130, witnessed by "Goffridus comes, Bartholomeus, Wulgrinus frater eius…"[84]. De Lavardin: "…Goffridus de Lavarzino filius eius, Heremias, Wlgrimus frater Bartholomei…" witnessed the charter dated 6 Nov 1134 under which "Goffridus comes Vindocinensis cognomento Grizagonella" confirmed the right of passage in the forest of Gâtines[85]. "Goffridus de Lavarzino filius comitis Vindocini…" witnessed the charter dated to [1136/39] which records the spiritual association granted to "vicecomitissa Castriduni, Eloisa, cum filio suo Hugone, per castrum Vindocinum iter agens" by Marmoutier[86]. Saint-Venant suggests that Geoffroy must have married “une fille de la maison de Lavardin...fille probablement d´Aimeric Gaymard et d´une de ses deux premières femmes” and “il eut probablement, comme dot de sa femme, une partie de la seigneurie de Lavardin”[87]. This appears to be the only possible explanation for Geoffroy´s assumption of the Lavardin name and, from a chronological point of view, the proposal is acceptable given Geoffroy´s birth date, probably dated to [1108/15]. However, the seigneurie de Lavardin appears to have passed to the family of the comtes de Vendôme only in the mid-12th century, with the marriage of Agatha, supposed daughter of Aymeric “Gaimard” Seigneur de Lavardin, to Bouchard [VII] Comte de Vendôme (see below Chapter 15.J). Given this succession, it is difficult to imagine that Aymeric “Gaimard” would have ceded part of his rights in Lavardin as part of a marriage treaty with Geoffroy de Vendôme. On the other hand, it is difficult to conceive another explanation for Geoffroy being referred to as “de Lavarzino”. One possibility is that Geoffroy was the same person as the second husband of Marie, widow of Aymeric “Gaimard” Seigneur de Lavardin, daughter of Geoffroy [Payen] & his wife ---.
