Etienne de Penthièvre, Count of Tréguier

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen,_Count_of_Tr%C3%A9guier https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89tienne_Ier_de_Penthi%C3%A8vre

Stephen, Count of Tréguier, Lord of Richmond (1058/62- 21 April 1136)was a Breton noble and a younger son of Eudes, Count of Penthièvre and Agnes of Cornwall, sister of Hoel II, Duke of Brittany. In 1093, he succeeded to the title of Count of Tréguier; in 1098, he succeeded his brother Alain Le Noir as Lord of Richmond in Yorkshire, England.

He is sometimes misidentified as "Stephen, Count of Brittany" in the court documents of King Henry I. This may be due to his Breton heritage, or the fact that he owned large estates there, but in fact at the time Brittany was a Duchy ruled by Alan IV, Duke of Brittany.

Stephen was a benefactor of religious houses. In 1110, he and his wife, Hawise, founded the Augustine Abbey of St Croix in Guingamp. On an unknown date, he is recorded as having donated property to Rumbaugh Priory for the souls of his wife and children.

He was the paternal grandfather of Conan IV, Duke of Brittany.

He married Hawise of Guingamp and their children were:

   * Geoffrey II "Boterel", Count of Penthièvre, married Hawise de Dol, by whom he had issue.

   * Henry, Count of Tréguier, married Mathilde de Vendome, by whom he had issue.

   * Alan de Bretagne, 1st Earl of Richmond (died 15 September 1146) married Bertha of Brittany, by whom he had issue, including his heir Conan IV, Duke of Brittany; he had also four illegitimate sons.

   * Maud, married Walter de Gand, by whom she had issue.

   * Olive, married firstly Henry de Fougères, by whom she had issue; secondly William de St. John

   * Theophania (Tiphanie), married Rabel de Tancarville, Chamberlain of Normandy.

   * Eléonore, married Alan de Dinan, by whom she had issue.

Stephen was a benefactor of religious houses. In 1110, he and his wife, Hawise founded the Augustine Abbey of St Croix in Guingamp; and on an unknown date, he is recorded as having donated property to Rumbaugh Priory for the souls of his wife and children.[3]

He died on 21 April 1136 and was buried in York.

His absence from the charter dated to [1056/60], witnessed by "comes Eudo, uxor eius Orguen et filii eorum Gausfridus, Alanus, Willelmus, Rotbertus, Ricardus…"[720], suggests that he was born after the date of the document or must have been too young to have subscribed it. This hypothesis is also consistent with his death in [1135/36], when he would have been around 75 years old if he had been born towards the end of his father´s life. He succeeded his brother Geoffroy (or Geoffroy's son) [in 1093] as Comte de Penthièvre, and in his other lands in Brittany.

He founded the abbey of Bégard, diocese of Tréguer, Brittany, in 1130[725]. Seigneur de Lamballe. He succeeded his father in [1135/36] as Comte de Penthièvre, but quarrelled with his brother over their father's inheritance. The Gesta Stephani Regis names "Boterellus quidam comes Britanniæ" among the supporters of Empress Matilda in the English civil war[726]. He left England whereupon his earldom reverted to the crown[727]. The Chronicon Britannico records the death in 1148 of "Gaufridus Comes Boterellus"[728].

He succeeded his father in [1135/36] as Lord of Richmond in Yorkshire.

Étienne Ier

Fonda en 1130, avec sa femme, l'abbaye de Bégard, et 1135 la collégiale de Sainte-Croix de Guingamp. (René COUFFON)

"Étienne est devenu comte de Penthièvre en 1093, recueillant l'héritage de son frère Geoffroy. Il acquiert ensuite le comté de Richemont après le décès de ses deux autres frères, Alain le Noir et Alain le Roux. Il prend possession de Guingamp après son mariage avec Havoise. À la fin de son règne, il doit faire face à la révolte de son fils Geoffroy II Boterel qui récupère le comté de Lamballe dès 1125 et lui succède, à sa mort, en 1138." (B.Yeurc'h)

Founder (1110) Augustinian Abbey of St. Croix at Guincamp,Brittany, France.

Founder Cistercian Abbey of Begard, Brittany, France.

Held Honour of Richmond in England.

---------------------------------------

STEPHEN, a count of Brittany, youngest son of Eudon,[a]succeeded his eldest brother, Geoffrey Boterel I, or Geoffrey'sson Conan in the Breton lands, and his brother Alan the Black inthe honor of Richmond in England, thus uniting all thepossessions of the family, but he appears to have been out ofpossession of the honor of Richmond for a time during the reignof William II. In March 1101, he was a surety for Henry I forthe observance of an alliance with Robert, Count of Flanders,and on 3 September 1101 at Windsor he witnessed charters of theKing for Herbert, Bishop of Norwich, and for St. Peter's, Bath.On 30 October 1107 he executed at Lamballe a charter for theabbey of SS. Sergius and Bacchus at Angers, and in 1123 atGuingamp one for the abbey of St. Melaine at Rennes. He was abenefactor of the abbey of St. Mary, York, and in the period1125-35 confirmed to that house gifts of churches, tithes andlands in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, and Norfolk,which formed part of the honor of Richmond. About the year 1110he and his, wife founded the Augustinian abbey of Ste. Croix atGuingamp, and In 1130 he founded the Cistercian abbey of B‚gard.

He married Hawise, whose parentage is unknown (e). He died 21April, probably in 1135 or I 136. His tomb was in the quire ofSt. Mary's, York. [Complete Peerage X:786-7, (transcribed byDave Utzinger)]

[a] The filiation of Stephen has been a matter of dispute sincethe lives of him and his father cover about 135 years, and thoseof the two and Stephen's youngest son, Count Henry, about 180.The descent, however, is beyond doubt, since in a charter forSt. Edmund's he describes himself as 'Stephanus comes BritanniaeEudonis comitis filius' and refers to his brother Alan the Redand to his sons Geoffrey, Alan and Henry, and this is borne outby other charters, in particular that of Duke Conan. There is noexpress evidence that Stephen was the son of Eudon's wifeOrguen, and he may have been the issue of a second marriage.

(e) She was living in 1135, when, as 'comitissa Hadewisa' shewitnessed her husband's charter for St. Edmunds. In the firstedition of the present work it is stated that she was Countessof Guingamp and that Stephen became Count of Guingamp in herright. For this there seems to be insufficient foundation:Guingamp in the diocese of Treguier would be a part of the landsof Count Eudon.

He married Hawise of Guingamp and their children were:

• Geoffrey II "Boterel", Count of Penthièvre, married Hawise de Dol, by whom he had issue.
• Henry, Count of Tréguier, married Mathilde de Vendome, by whom he had issue.
• Alan de Bretagne, 1st Earl of Richmond (died 15 September 1146) married Bertha of Brittany, by whom he had issue, including his heir Conan IV, Duke of Brittany; he had also four illegitimate sons.
• Maud, married Walter de Gand, by whom she had issue.
• Olive, married firstly Henry de Fougères, by whom she had issue; secondly William de St. John
• Tiphanie, married Rabel de Tancarville, Chamberlain of Normandy.
• Eléonore, married Alan de Dinan, by whom she had issue.

Stephen was a benefactor of religious houses. In 1110, he and his wife, Hawise founded the Augustine Abbey of St Croix in Guingamp; and on an unknown date, he is recorded as having donated property to Rumbaugh Priory for the souls of his wife and children.

[a] The filiation of Stephen has been a matter of dispute since the lives of him and his father cover about 135 years, and those of the two and Stephen's youngest son, Count Henry, about 180. The descent, however, is beyond doubt, since in a charter for St. Edmund's he describes himself as "Stephanus comes Britanniae Eudonis comitis filius" and refers to his brother Alan the Red and to his sons Geoffrey, Alan and Henry, and this is borne out by other charters, in particular that of Duke Conan. There is no express evidence that Stephen was the son of Eudon's wife Orguen, and he may have been the issue of a second marriage.

(e) She was living in 1135, when, as "comitissa Hadewisa" she witnessed her husband's charter for St. Edmunds. In the first edition of the present work it is stated that she was Countess of Guingamp and that Stephen became Count of Guingamp in her right. For this there seems to be insufficient foundation: Guingamp in the diocese of Treguier would be a part of the lands of Count Eudon. 769
