PlanchÃƒÂ©, Somerset Herald. London: Tinsley Brothers, 1874. "Rogier li Veil, cil de Belmont, Assalt Engleis el primier front." Roman de Rou, 1. 13,462. Thus sings the Prebend of Bayeux in direct contradiction, as I have already observed, of the Archdeacon of Lisieux, who as distinctly asserts that Roger de Beaumont was left in Normandy, president of the council appointed by the Duke to assist his Duchess in its government. There is more reason, however, to discredit Wace in this instance than even in the former one, as Orderic corroborates the statement of the Archdeacon that it was Robert, the eldest son of Roger de Beaumont, who was the companion of the Conqueror in 1066, and whom he describes as "a novice in arms." Mr. Taylor, in his translation of the poem, has mentioned also that in the MS. of Wace, in the British Museum, the name is Robert, though the epithet "le Viel" is not appropriate to his then age. Might not "le Viel" be a clerical error for "de Vielles," the name of Roger's father, which is latinized into "de Vitulis"? Roger de Beaumont would of course have been de Vielles as well as his father. The latinizing of proper names cannot be too much deplored and deprecated. Of Roger, Count de Beaumont, it is unanimously recorded that he was the noblest, the wealthiest, and the most valiant seigneur of Normandy, and the greatest and most trusted friend of the Danish family. Son of Humphrey de Vielles, and grandson of Thorold de Pontaudemer, a descendant of the Kings of Denmark, through Bernard the Dane, a companion of the first Norman Conqueror, Duke Rollo, illustrious as was such as origin in the eyes of his countrymen, he considered his alliance with Adelina, Countess of Meulent, sufficiently honorable and important to induce him to adopt the title of her family in preference to that of his own. We have already heard of his first great exploit, when, as a young man, in the early years of Duke William, he defeated the turbulent Roger de Toeni, who with his two sons were slain in that sanguinary conflict (vide p. 19, ante). Towards the invading fleet he contributed, according to Taylor's List, sixty vessels, and being at that time advanced in years, and selected to superintend the affairs of the duchy, sent his young son Robert to win his spurs at Senlac. In that memorable battle he is said to have given proof of courage and intelligence beyond his years, and promise of the high reputation he would eventually obtain, and which won for him the surname of Prudhomme. "A certain Norman young soldier," writes William of Poitou, "son of Roger de Bellomont, and nephew and heir of Hugh, Count of Meulent, by Adelina, his sister, making his first onset in that fight, did what deserves lasting fame, boldly charging and breaking in upon the enemy with the troops he commanded in the right wing of the army." His services were rewarded by ninety manors in Warwickshire, Leicestershire, Wiltshire, and Northamptonshire. In 1080 he, with his brother Henry, afterwards Earl of Warwick, were amongst the barons who exerted themselves to reconcile King William to his son Robert Court-heuse, and in 1081 he subscribed a charter of confirmation in favour of the Abbey of FÃƒÂ©camp. This was the last document he signed in the name of Beaumont, for his mother dying in year, he thenceforth wrote himself Comte de Meulent, and did homage to Philip I, King of France, for the lands to which he succeeded in that kingdom, and in 1082 sat as a Peer of France in a parliament held by the said King at Poissy. On the death of the Conqueror, the Comte de Meulent and his brother sided with William Rufus; their father, Roger de Beaumont, leaving also the ducal court and retiring to his estates. The late King had given the Castle of Ivri jointly to Roger de Beaumont and Robert his son; but during the absence of the latter in England, Robert Court-heuse, having become Duke of Normandy, exchanged, in 1090, that castle for the Castle of Brionne with Roger de Beaumont, without obtaining the consent of Robert de Meulent. The latter, having a quarrel with the monks of Bec, whose monastery was in the territory of Brionne, was greatly angered by this transaction, and repairing to the Duke at Rouen, boldly demanded of him the restoration of Ivri. The Duke answered that he had given his father the Castle of Brionne for it, which was a fair exchange. The Count replied, "I was no party to that bargain, and repudiate it; but what your father gave to my father that will I have, or by Saint Nicaise I will make you repent your conduct to me." The Duke, highly incensed, had him immediately arrested and imprisoned, and seizing the Castle of Brionne, gave it into the keeping of Robert, son of Baldwin de Meules. Roger de Beaumont, on receipt of these tidings, sought the Duke, and with the skill of an old courtier contrived to pacify his resentment, and obtain the release of his son and the restoration of Brionne; but Robert de Meules, who was in charge of it, refused to surrender it, and the Count de Meulent was obliged to resort to force. Siege was laid to the castle in regular form, and the garrison stoutly holding out, Gilbert du Pin, commanding the beleaguering forces, caused arrows, with their steel heads made red-hot in a furnace, to be shot over the battlements, and which, falling on the roofs of the buildings within the walls, set them on fire. The conflagration spreading, the place became no longer tenable, and Brionne remained from that period in the hands of the Counts of Meulent. The monks of Bec now found it necessary to patch up their quarrels with the Count, who behaved generously on the occasion, confirming their privileges and those also of the Abbey of PrÃƒÂ©aux, of JumiÃƒÂ©ges, and St. Vaudrille, remitting certain imports due to him from the wine-growers of Mantes. I mention these circumstances, which have no interest for the general reader, only to notice a singular condition the Count attached to the franchise, namely, that the masters of all boats passing the Castles of Meulent and Mantes should play on the flageolet as they shot the bridges! On the departure of Robert Court-heuse for the Crusades, William Rufus, to whom he had confided the government of Normaudy, as a pledge for the repayment of the money the King had lent to him for the expenses of his expedition, considered it a good opportunity to recover from France the province of the Vexin. The Count of Meulent found himself awkwardly situated between the two contending parties. He owed fealty to both sovereigns: to the King of France for the ComtÃƒÂ© of Meulent, and to the King of England for his large estates, both in that country and Normandy. He decided in fayour of the latter, received into his castle the forces of the Red King, and so opened for him an entrance into France. The war ended without advantage to either side, and was followed by another between Rufus and HÃƒÂ©lie de la FlÃƒË†che, Comte du Maine. After vainly attempting to reduce the Castle of Dangueul, the King withdrew from the siege, leaving the Count of Menlent to carry on the operations. On the 28th April, 1098, HÃƒÂ©lie was drawn into an ambush by Count Robert, and, after a desperate defence, made prisoner, and conducted by him to the King, who was at Rouen, and who consigned his captive immediately to a dungeon in the great tower of that city. The incidents and results of this campaign are not sufficiently connected with the personal history of Robert de Meulent to require notice here. He was one of the royal hunting party in the New Forest on the 2nd of August, 1100, when William Rufus received his mysterious death-wound, and hastened on the instant with Prince Henry to Winchester, in order to secure the royal treasure, as well as the succession to the throne of England. Under the reign of the new King he retained the favour and influence he had enjoyed during those of the two Williams, and commanded the English army, which achieved the conquest of Normandy by Henry I in 1106, who acknowledged himself indebted for it to the advice and valour of the Earl of Leicester, to which dignity Robert de Meulent had been advanced by him at some period not distinctly ascertained, but most probably in the first year of his reign. Orderic Vital gives the following account of the mode by which he obtained the earldom: -- "The town of Leicester had four masters -- the King, the Bishop of Lincoln, Earl Simon" (Simon de St. Liz, Earl of Huntingdon), "and Ivo, the son of Hugh" (de Grentmesnil). The latter had been heavily fined for turbulent conduct, and was in disgrace at Court. He was also galled by being nicknamed "the Rope-dancer," having been one of those who had been let down by ropes from the walls of Antioch. He therefore had resolved to rejoin the Crusade, and made an agreement with the Count of Meulent to the following effect: -- The Count was to procure his reconciliation with the King, and to advance him five hundred silver marks for the expenses of his expedition, having the whole of Ivo's domains pledged to him as a security for fifteen years. In consideration of this, the Count was to give the daughter of his brother Henry, Earl of Warwick, in marriage to Ivo's son, who was yet in his infancy, and to restore him his father's inheritance. This contract was confirmed by oath, and ratified by the King, but Ivo died on his road to the Holy Land, and Robert de Meulent, by royal favour and his own address, contrived to get the whole of Leicester into his own hands, and being in consequence created an English earl, his wealth and power surpassed those of any other peer of the realm, and he was exalted above nearly all his family." (Book xi, c. 2) This great warrior and able man is said to have died of sorrow and mortification, caused by the infidelity of his second wife Elizabeth, otherwise Isabella, daughter of Hugh the Great, Comte de Vermandois and of Chaumont in the Vexin. He had married -- the date at present unknown -- Godechilde de Conches, daughter of Roger de Toeni, Seigneur de Conches, but had separated from her before 1096, as in that year she, who could not then have been seventeen, became the wife of Baldwin, son of Eustace de Boulogne, who was King of Jerusalem after the decease of his brother Godfrey. Robert de Meulent, then being between fifty and sixty, and without issue, sought the hand of Elizabeth de Vermandois, who was in the bloom of youth, and was accepted by the lady; but Ivo, Bishop of ChÃƒÂ¢tres, forbade the magiage on the ground of consanguinity; the Count of Vemandois and the Count of Meulent being both great-grandsons of Gautier II, surnamed "Le Blanc," Count of the Vexin. A dispensation was obtained, however, from the Pope, on condition that Count Hugh should take the Cross, and the marriage was celebrated on the eve of his departure for the Holy Land, the same year in which Robert's first wife married Baldwin de Boulogne. The issue of Robert de Meulent by his second wife was a daughter named Emma, born, according to Orderic, in 1102; two sons (twins), baptised Waleran and Robert, born in 1104; a third son, known as Hugh the Poor, afterwards Earl of Bedford, and three other daughters, Adeline, Amicia, and Albreda, all of whom must have been born after 1104, when their father, then Earl of Leicester, was well stricken in years. Orderic, indeed, says he had five daughters, the fifth being named Isabel, after her mother. All these children being born in wedlock, were of course in the eyes of the law legitimate, but William de Warren, Earl of Warren and Surrey, second of that name, son of the mysterious Gundred, had supplanted the Earl of Leicester for some years in the affections of his wife, and her ultimate desertion of him for his young rival affected his mind, and hurried hhn to the grave, June 5, 1118. Henry of Huntingdon, in his "Letter to Walter," gives the following account of his last moments: -- "I will mention the Earl of Meulent, the most sagacious in political affairs of all who lived between this and Jerusalem. His mind was enlightened, his eloquence persuasive, his shrewdness acute; he was provident and wily; his prudence never failed; his counsels were profound; his wisdom great. He had extensive and noble possessions, which are commonly called honours, together witIx towns and castles, villages and farms, woods and waters, which he acquired by the exercise of the talents I have mentioned. His domains lay not only in England but in Normandy and France, so that he was able at his will to promote concord between the sovereigns of those countries, or to set them at variance and provoke them to war. If he took umbrage against any man, his enemy was humbled and crushed, while those he favoured were exalted to honour. Hence his coffers were filled with a prodigious influx of wealth in gold and silver, besides precious gems and costly furniture and apparel. But when he was in the zenith of his power it happened that a certain earl carried off the lady he had espoused, either by some intrigue or by force and stratagem. Thenceforth his mind was disturbed and clouded with grief, nor did he to the time of his death regain composure and happiness. "After days abandoned to sorrow, when he was labouring under an infirmity which was the precursor of death, and the Archbishop (of Rouen) and priests were performing their office for the confessional purification, they required of him that as a penitent he should restore the lands which by force or fraud he had wrung from others, and wash out his sins with tears of repentance, to which he replied, 'Wretched man that I am! If I dismember the domains I have acquired, what shall I have to leave to my sons?' "Upon this the ministers of the Lord answered, 'Your hereditary estates and the lands which you have justly obtained are enough for your sons; restore the rest, or else you devote your soul to perdition.' "The Earl replied, 'My sons shall have all. I leave it to them to act mercifully, that I may obtain mercy.'" "Assuming the monastic habit, he then breathed his last, and was buried near his father at PrÃƒÂ©aux, his heart being sent to the monastery of Brackley in Northamptonshire, which he had founded, and there preserved in salt. William of Malmesbury says of him, that his advice was regarded as though the oracle of God had been consulted; that he was the persuader of peace, the dissuader of strife, and capable of speedily bringing about whatever he desired by the power of his eloquence; that he possessed such mighty influence in England as to change by his single example the long established modes of dress and diet. Limiting himself on the score of his health to one meal a day, in imitation of Alexius, Emperor of Constantinople, the custom was adopted generally by the nobility. In law, he was the supporter of justice; in war, the insurer of victory; urging his lord the King to enforce the statutes vigorously, he himself not only respecting those existing, but proposing new. Ever loyal to his sovereign, he was the stern avenger of treason in others. It is a relief to read such a character of a man in these darkest days of feudalism, imperfect civilization, and demoralizing superstition. A word or two respecting his children. The twins, Waleran and Robert, were carefully brought up by King Henry I from the time of their father's death, "for the King loved him much, because in the beginning of his reign he had greatly aided and encouraged him." On their arriving at the proper age they received knighthood at his hands, and Waleran was put in possession of all his father's domains in France and Normandy, his brother Robert receiving the earldom of Leicester and the lands and honours in England. Three of their sisters were given in marriage by Waleran: -- Adeline to Hugh, 4th Sire de Montfort-sur-Risle, Amicia to Hugh de ChÃƒÂ¢teau-neuf in Thimerais; and Albreda (or Aubrey) to William Louvel or Lupel, son of Ascelin Goel, Lord of Ivri. ( Vide vol. ii, p. 223) Isabel became, according to the chronique scandaleuse of that day, one of the many mistresses of Henry I, and subsequently married Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Pembroke. What became of Emma, the eldest born, we know not. According to Orderic she was betrothed, when only a year old, to Aumari, nephew of William, Count of Evreux, but from some impediment which occurred the marriage never took place. She probably died in infancy, or entered a convent. The author of "L'Art de VÃƒÂ©rifier les Dates," besides Hugh, Earl of Bedford, already mentioned, gives Robert, a fourth son, whom he calls Dreux, Sire de Boisemont. http://genealogy.patp.us/conq/beaumont.shm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Ier de Beaumont-le-Roger comte de Leicester and de Warwick (1st), comte de Meulan (Robert de Beaumont-le-Roger ) Born about 1050 - Pont-Audemer (27500) Died on 5 June 1118 - Leicestershire (Angleterre) Buried - PrÃƒÂ©aux (76160) Age at death: possibly 68 years old Marriages and children Married in 1096 to Ãƒâ€°lisabeth de Vermandois, comtesse de Leicester ca 1085-1131 , with Adeline ca 1100 Galerand IV , comte de Beaumont-le-Roger 1104-1166 Isabelle ca 1104-ca 1147 Robert II , comte de Leicester 1104-1168 AgnÃƒÂ¨s ca 1110 Siblings Robert Ier , comte de Leicester ca 1050-1118 Henri Ier , comte de Warwick ca 1055-1123/1119 http://gw.geneanet.org/index.php3?b=adecarne&lang=en;p=robert;n=de+beaumont+le+roger;oc=1	Beaumont-le-Roger Robert I de

188	http://web.meganet.net/bettenco/ In the Battle of Cocherel in which the French routed the partisans of Charles the Bad, commanded by Captal de Buch. Bethencourt had previously switched from the side of the Burgundians, who were allied with the English, to the opposite side, joining the army of the king of France. The royal army divided into two parts. At the same time as Du Guesclin attacked the enemy from the right, the Lord of BÃƒÂ©thencourt, with other nobles, enveloped the enemy from the left - and it was in this action that he lost his life. This heroic action led the king to lift the confiscation which previously affected his property There is a problem. James H. Guill presents a very different genealogy for this branch of the Bethencourt family. He seems to be basing his information on the Chronicle of Enguerrand de Monstrelet as well as other information which he combines. Monstrelet includes details of the Battle of Azincourt (Agincourt). Monstrelet, however, appears to be referring to a completely different line of Bethencourts which Guill merges with the current line. Monstrelet does not refer to the progenitor (Jean III) by name but by the title bailiff of Amiens. No other source refers to this title being ascribed to Jean III. Since Jean III must have been born no later than 1345, at the youngest, he would have been 70 at the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. It seems highly unlikely that he would participate in a battle at such an advanced age. It also seems clear from other sources that Jean III died in the Battle of Cocherel in 1364. Therefore, this cannot be the same person. Also, Monstrelet mentions several of the bailiff's sons, but does not mention Gallien, Jean IV, or Regnault. He does mention Aubert as Lord of Betencourt, but there were other locations called Bethencourt, etc. in France. In the English edition of Monstrelet translated by Thomas Johnes, a note indicates that "there must be some mistake about" some of the comments that Monstrelet makes regarding the bailiff of Amiens. Perhaps Monstrelet refers to a completely different branch of the family Blazon of arms: Argent, a lion sable, armed and langued gules. Em campo de prata, um leao do preto rompente, armado de vermelho. D'argent, un lion de sable, armÃƒÂ© de gueules. The arms of France were confirmed for the Bettencourts of Portugal on 1 Apr 1505 by the king D. Manoel Genea Portugal lists Jean III's children as Joao de Bettencourt, rei das CanÃƒÂ¡rias, Regnault de Bettencourt, and an unnamed son to whom is ascribed the children Jorge, Henri, and Maciot. There seems to be some confusion with Regnault who is the father of these sons One source, obviously in error, states that, in 1430, at the side of the Burgundians allied with the English, he was in the siege of CompiÃƒÂ¨gne (in which Joan of Arc was captured), having also been imprisoned, by the French, and subsequently ransomed.

190	http://web.meganet.net/bettenco/ The Bettencourts of noble Norman origin took their name from the Castle of BÃƒÂ©thencourt in Normandy, came to Portugal to the island of Madeira, and from there scattered to the AÃƒÂ§ores Islands and on to mainland Portugal and Brazil. The first known Bettencourt is generally considered to be the Lord of Buttecourt, Buthencourt, or Bethencourt who accompanied William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy, in the invasion of England in 1066. He was killed in the Battle of Hastings and buried in Battle Abbey, Battle, Kent, England. Between 1096-1100, Jean, Lord of Bethencourt, appears to have participated, along with Robert II, Duke of Normandy, in the First Crusade to the Holy Land. He is linked with the Bethencourts of Bethencourt, Sigy-en-Bray, because he used the same arms, argent, a lion sable, armed and langued gules. By the end of the 13th century, the genealogical history of the Bethencourts becomes more precise. In the first years of that century, there lived a Guillaume de Bethencourt, Lord of the fief of Bosc-Asselin. In 1206, Guillaume was a witness to a sale made by Clotard to the pretor of Sigy. Unfortunately, none of these figures has as yet been linked directly to the following lineage.	Bethencourt Jean de
191	In the second half of 1425, as he was preparing to visit the Canary Islands again, he died, attended at his death-bed by his chaplain, Jean Le Verrier. Although the text of the manuscript of Bontier and Verrier places the death of Jean de Bethencourt in 1422, Bergeron, who was not an idle investigator, in fixing the date at 1425, says, "comme il appert par plusieurs actes" (as appears in several documents). So we may reasonably accept his decision He developed the desire to explore the Canary Islands in the castle in the choir of the church Returning to Lanzarote, he arranged everything for the good government of the islands which he had conquered and civilized, and leaving his nephew, Maciot de Bethancourt, as governor-general, he departed universally regretted on 15 Dec 1406 It was resolved that Bethencourt should go to Spain to get together what was necessary to complete the enterprise Meanwhile, Bethencourt was obtaining from Henry III, King of Castile, the supplies he wanted, on condition of doing homage. Castilian documents of 26-28 Nov 1402 refer to the lordship of the Canary Islands and the requested aid: 20,000 maravedis (old Gothic coin formerly used in Portugal and Spain), soldiers, arms, and provisions. Having sent his wife home in the charge of Enguerrand de la BoissiÃƒÂ¨re, he preferred to return to Lanzarote had children; among his descendents was the venerable Pedro de Bettencourt, great apostle of America in the seventeenth century Two early manuscripts exist detailing the story of Le Canarien. One is ms. Egerton 2709 in the British Library in London which gives preference to Gadifer de La Salle. The other, ms. mm 129 of the BibliothÃƒÂ¨que municipale in Rouen, France, gives preference to Jean de Bethencourt. It was this latter copy which was formerly in the possession of the BÃƒÂ©thencourt family He spent his infancy in the castle of Grainville-la-TeinturiÃƒÂ¨re in the company of his mother and her brother, Mathieu de Braquemont, who was also his grandmother's second husband, and later in the company of his stepfather, Roger Suhart he began to take care of the larder of the Duke of Anjou as the person in charge of the distribution of bread ("pannetier") he obtained from the King permission to rebuild and fortify the castle\|\| previously destroyed as a consequence of civil war (confirmed 18 Jul 1388). On 9 Dec 1388, he obtained permission from Pope Clement VII to erect a chapel in the castle he was standard-bearer in the expedition organized by the Duke of Orleans to battle the Moorish pirates that infested the Mediterranean, an expedition that ended in a fiasco, but brought him into contact with African lands Having conceived the project of conquering the Canaries, which were then only frequented by merchants or Spanish pirates, he assembled a body of adventurers, among whom was a knight named Gadifer de La Salle, who joined him at La Rochelle, France. Bethencourt took with him his two chaplains, Brother Pierre Bontier, a Franciscan monk of St. Jouin de Marnes who later officiated at Lanzarote in the church of St. Martial de Rubicon which Bethencourt built in the castle of that name, and Jean le Verrier, a priest who was later installed at Fuerteventura as vicar in the chapel of Our Lady of Bethencourt; they were the historians of the expedition they started the expedition\|\| putting in at Corunna and at Cadiz, where they stayed till the month of July, the party meanwhile becoming reduced by the desertion of twenty-seven men to only fifty-three in number. Eight days from Cadiz brought them to the island of Graciosa; from there they went to Lanzarote, landing on 30 Jun 1402, where they were well received and obtained permission to build a fort which they named Rubicon. Leaving Bertin de Berneval in charge, Bethencourt went with Gadifer to Fuerteventura but was obliged to return to Lanzarote on account of mutiny among his sailors and lack of provisions. While at Fuerteventura, Robin le Brument, master mariner of a ship which Gadifer affirmed to be his own, refused admission to Gadifer and his companions, but agreed, on condition of receiving hostages, to carry them over to Lanzarote Gadifer remained as lieutenant, and while he was absent at the Isle of Lobos, Bertin excited disaffection against him, drew together a faction of his own with which he pillaged the castle of Rubicon and took a number of natives prisoner on 25 Nov 1402, including Guardarifa, the King of Lanzarote, who had already made friendly submission to Bethencourt. Two Spanish ships had arrived meanwhile, and Bertin, having gained over Ferdinand OrdoÃƒÂ±ez, captain of the Tranchemar, took his spoils and prisoners on board, abandoned his followers to perish miserably in Africa, and went himself to Spain.The unfortunate Gadifer was left by this treachery on the island of Lobos without the supplies he expected to follow him, until the captain of the other Spanish ship, the Morelle, sent a canoe to his rescue and he returned to Rubicon. Here he found affairs in a sad state, no provisions, no stores, and an insufficient number of men to keep the natives in check Bethencourt had learned the state of affairs on the arrival of the ship Morelle in Spain, which preceded by a short time the Tranchemar, in which the traitor Bertin arrived with his captives, and sent help to Gadifer from the king with directions to follow up the explorations.Gadifer had been to Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Ferro, Gomera, and Palma (all part of the Canary Islands), and returned to Rubicon after a voyage of three months. He had sent a ship to Spain with the account of his expedition, but Bethencourt himself now arrived at Rubicon (Os Bettencourt gives the date as 19 Apr 1404 but this appears to be too late, a date earlier in Feb seeming more likely) where he was received with great demonstrations of joy. He proceeded vigorously with the conquest of the natives. Finally, the king of Lanzarote submitted and asked for baptism on 20 Feb 1404, which he received with many of his people. After this, Bethencourt and Gadifer were only withheld from further conquest by want of aid from the courts of France and Spain, though application was made especially to the former. On their return from an expedition to the coast of Africa in 1404, Gadifer showed discontent that Bethencourt had not considered his interests when he did homage to the King of Castile for the government of the islands. However, he took part in an expedition against Gran Canaria on 25 Jul 1404, but the dispute was afterwards renewed, and on 9 Oct Gadifer set out for Castile to plead his case with the King. Finally, however, Gadifer, unable to prevail against Bethencourt's greater influence at the court of Castile, gave up his own cause in despair and returned to France Bethencourt was solemnly invested by Henry III, King of Castile, with the government of the Canary Islands Bethencourt had several encounters with the natives, but maintained his authority successfully, and the two kings of Fuerteventura, together with their people, became Christian in Jan 1405 (Os Bettencourt gives the dates as 18 and 25 Feb 1405 for each king). On 31 Jan 1405, he went to France to obtain the materials for forming a colony, was warmly welcomed at Grainville, and obtained all he required.He left Honfleur on 9 May 1405 and returned to Lanzarote with his nephew, Maciot de Bethencourt, and was received with great joy by his own people, as well as by the inhabitants of Fuerteventura he set out on his expedition to Gran Canaria which was unsuccessful from various causes, but in Palma and Ferro, after some opposition, he formed colonies He went to Spain where the king received him warmly and gave him letters of recommendation to the Pope, from whom he was anxious to obtain the appointment of a bishop for the islands. At Rome, he was well received by the Pope, who granted all he required. He then returned to France by way of Florence where he was feted by the government. Then he went to Paris and so to his own house Messire Jean de Bethencourt held the title of Baron in right of the Barony of Saint-Martin-le-Gaillard in the ComtÃƒÂ© d'Eu, where he had a strong castle which was taken and retaken several times in the wars with England. Monstrelet speaks of its final siege and ruin in 1419. It came by inheritance to Messire de Bethencourt from his grandmother Dame Isabeau de St. Martin A feeling of revenge led Jean to impoverish as far as possible the property to which his brother would be the successor. It is but justice to say that before his death he saw his error, and on his death-bed was anxious to declare repentance to the brother whom he had injured he sold his house in Paris, valued at 200 gold francs, and some other small pieces of property to obtain the necessary financing for his expedition to the Canary Islands. Since the amount realized was insufficient, his uncle, Robert de Braquemont, loaned him 5,000 pounds (to which he later added another 2,000), Jean to all intents mortgaging to him the fiefs of BÃƒÂ©thencourt and Grainville Bethencourt remained in Grainville for several years, receiving from the bishop news of the islands and the good government of his nephew Jean de Bethencourt pledged fealty to King Henry V of England. The wars between England and France had already caused Bethencourt many problems and, after the capture of Caudebec in Normandy in September 1418, this pledge of fealty was the only way to safeguard his possessions Jean de Bethencourt paid homage to King Charles VI of France for his feudal benefice of Bethencourt in Normandy Jean confirmed the powers previously granted to his nephew Maciot, permitting him to sell the Canary Islands with the exception of Fuerteventura which was to remain for his heirs The museum of the church of Santa MarÃƒÂa de Betancuria in Bethencuria, Fuerteventura, contains a replica of the banner carried by Bethencourt when he seized Fuerteventura. http://web.meganet.net/bettenco/ Occupation: a squire of Charles VI of France BÃƒÂ©thencourt; Occupation: Lord\|\|Saint Saire, Lincourt, Riville, Grand Quesnoy, Huqueleu Grainville-la-TeinturiÃƒÂ¨re; Occupation: Lord Islas Canarias; Occupation: Governor Lord chamberlain of the royal household for Charles VI, King of France the Palace of Saint Paul, Paris, France; Occupation: chamberlain of Charles VI of France chamberlain of Louis de Valois, Duke of Touraine and later Duke of- Bet. 1387 - 1391 a squire of Philip , Duke of Burgundy- Abt. 1400 Islas Canarias; Occupation: King and Lord - Bet. 1404 - 1406	Bethencourt Jean de, (IV)

Revista Lemir, nÃ‚Âº 7, 2003 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maciot de8 BETHENCOURT (Regnault7, Jean6, Jean5, Jean4, Regnault3, Philippe2, Jean1)672,673,674,675,676,677,678,679,680,681 was born illegitimate circa 1390 in France.682,683,684 He married Lerianda de Gardaleme in France.685,686,687 He died between 1454 and 1458 in Madeira.688 He was also known as Mossem Menante de Betancor.689 He was also known as Maciot de Bethancourt.690 He was also known as Maciot de Bettencourt.691,692 He was also known as Micer Maciote Betancur.693 He was also known as Massiote de Bethencourt.694 He was also known as Masiote de Bethencourt.695 He was also known as Mathieu de Bethencourt.696,697 He was also known as Menciot de Bettencourt.698 He was also known as Mossem Maciot de Betancor.699 He was also known as Meciot de Bettencourt.700 He was also known as Meciote de Bettencourt.701 Maciot is a problem in many ways. There are different views on how he is related to the Bettencourts of France. There is a theory that Maciot was not the son of Regnault but of Regnault's sister of unknown name. Another theory states that he is the son of Jean (III)'s sister of unknown name. Current opinion favors Regnault as his parent. As to Maciot's wife and children, there are even more problems. Lerianda de Gardaleme is possibly confused with the wife of Maciot's grandson, Maciot (II). Her name is very similar - Leissa GuanartÃƒÂ¨me, her name after converting to Catholicism.702 He was a knight of the Order of Rhodes.703 He was a knight of the Order of Malta.704,705,706 On 9 May 1405 Maciot traveled to the Canary Islands with his Uncle Jean.707,708,709 He was ruler of the Canary Islands after his uncle left the islands between Dec 1405 and 1447.710,711,712,713,714,715,716,717 Maciot attempted, with the assistance of some Castilians, to subdue the island of Gomeira, Islas Canarias, but without success.718 In 1414 the exactions and tyranny of Maciot de Bethencourt had caused Queen Catherine of Castile to send out three war caravels under the command of Pedro Barba de Campos, Lord of Castro Forte, to control him. Maciot, although only regent, since Jean de Bethencourt was still alive, ceded the islands to Barba and then sailed to Madeira, where he sold to Prince Henry of Portugal, surnamed the Navigator, these very islands which he had just ceded to another, together with those which still remained to be conquered. (According to Os Bettencourt, this sale by Maciot to Campos is pure legend) Maciot subsequently granted them again to the Spanish Count de Niebla on 15 Nov 1419 (1418 according to Os Bettencourt). Pedro Barba de Campos sold them to Fernando PÃƒÂ©rez of Seville, and the latter again to the aforesaid Count de Niebla, who disposed of them to Guillem de Las Casas, and the latter to his son-in-law Fernan Peraza. Meanwhile, the legitimate proprietor, Jean de Bethencourt, left them by will to his brother Reynaud. It was not until 1479, with the treaty signed at AlcaÃƒÂ§ova between Affonso V of Portugal and Ferdinand and Isabella of Castile, that the disputes of the two nations on this point were settled - the Canaries belonged to the Castilians.719,720 In 1415 in Lanzarote, Maciot had a relationship with Teguise, a native woman and daughter of King Guardafia.721,722,723 With regard to Maciot's relationship with Teguise, it seems that they were never married. They had at least two children, Rodrigo and InÃƒÂªs Margarida. Portuguese genealogists affirm that MarÃƒÂa, another of Maciot's daughters, was also a daughter of Teguise; in fact, Canarian genealogists refer to this MarÃƒÂa as Leonor or Luisa.724 He built the church of Nossa Senhora de Bethencourt; .725 He, acting as representative of Jean de Bethencourt, granted the lordship of the Canary Islands to D. Henrique de GuzmÃƒÂ¡n, Conde de Niebla on 15 Nov 1418 in Seville.726,727,728 In 1447 Maciot was taken prisoner on Lanzarote and imprisoned on the island of Ferro. He later fled with his wife to Portugal.729 He sold Lanzarote to Prince Henry the Navigator for the soap trade and other income from Madeira on 9 May 1448.730,731,732,733,734,735,736,737,738 He moved with his two daughters and two of his brother's sons to Madeira (Os Bettencourt states that he went with his wife, his eldest daughter who was the widow of Henri (II), and her two sons who were also his brother's two sons since his daughter was married to his brother (niece-uncle). It was the descendants of Henri (II) who altered the "th" of Bethencourt to the "tt" of Bettencourt).739,740,741,742,743,744,745 Lerianda de GARDALEME746 was born circa 1390 in France.747 She married Henri de Bettencourt, son of Regnault de Bethencourt (IV) and Felipa de Troyes, in France (possible spouse).748 She was also known as Lerija de Guardateme.749 She was also known as Lerida de Guardateme.750 She was also known as Lerida de La Garde Tour.751 She was also known as Lerida de Guarde Teme.752 She was also known as Lerida de Guardatem.753 She was also known as Lerisa de Guadateme.754 She is possibly confused with the wife of Maciot's grandson, Maciot (II).755 Children of Maciot de8 Bethencourt and Lerianda de Gardaleme were as follows: + 32 i. MarguÃƒÂ©rite de9 BÃƒâ€°THENCOURT, born circa 1405; married Henri de Bettencourt. 33 ii.

Manuel (Arch. dos AÃƒÂ§ores, X, #52).764 He resided in Islas Canarias.765 http://web.meganet.net/bettenco/bette0008.htm#t8 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DOMINGO, 28 DE OCTUBRE DE 2012 DE LA INEXISTENTE PRIMERA MUJER DE MACIOT DE BETHENCOURT* MIGUEL RODRÃƒÂGUEZ DÃƒÂAZ DE QUINTANA Genealogista Durante muchas dÃƒÂ©cadas, los textos genealÃƒÂ³gicos de Canarias y Madeira han mantenido aupada a la legendaria princesa Teguise de Lanzarote, en una desacreditada reputaciÃƒÂ³n sin merecÃƒÂ©rselo. Los estudios dedicados a la familia Bethencourt la suelen seÃƒÂ±alar de concubina o barragana, dÃƒÂ¡ndosele al histÃƒÂ³rico Maciot, sobrino y lugarteniente del barÃƒÂ³n normando, como legÃƒÂtima esposa, a una inexistente dama francesa, de la que por este motivo nunca se ha podido documentar su filiaciÃƒÂ³n. En los vastos estudios genealÃƒÂ³gicos portugueses, a Teguise la transforma en Lerize, trastocan su linaje de GuadarfÃƒÂa por Guanarteme, y a la vez de darle su correcta paternidad, como hija de Guanarame de Lanzarote, la hacen hija de Artemy SemidÃƒÂ¡n, ÃƒÂºltimo rÃƒÂ©gulo de Gran Canaria. A esta serie de yerros y desajustes, se aÃƒÂ±ade que la maternidad de las dos hijas habidas por Maciot se atribuye a diferentes esposas, haciendo a la segunda, la primogÃƒÂ©nita, mientras que a la primera nacida se le posterga a una segunda maternidad ilegÃƒÂtima. IlustraciÃƒÂ³n de Le Canarien Toda este conjunto de inexactitudes queda aclarado por el testamento y codicilo de doÃƒÂ±a MarÃƒÂa de Bethencourt, segundogÃƒÂ©nita de Maciot y establecida con ÃƒÂ©l en la isla de Madeira hacia el aÃƒÂ±o 1450. El yerro estriba en el bautismo cristiano al que se tuvo que acoger la princesa lanzaroteÃƒÂ±a, sustituyendo su onomÃƒÂ¡stica gentil de Teguise, por el de MarÃƒÂa de Bracamonte, una filiaciÃƒÂ³n que debiÃƒÂ³ de ser sugerida por su marido en homenaje y recuerdo de su propia madre. Una vez cristianizada las islas y bautizada su poblaciÃƒÂ³n, los nombres prehispÃƒÂ¡nicos se anularon. El progenitor de la infanta canaria, conocido en su gentileza por Guanarame, tomÃƒÂ³ al recibir las aguas cristianas el nombre de Luis en honor del Rey de Francia. El alcalde Esteban de Cabito llega a nombrar en una ocasiÃƒÂ³n que la mujer de Maciot se llamaba doÃƒÂ±a MarÃƒÂa, en cuya compaÃƒÂ±ÃƒÂa fue cautivo y trasladado a la isla del Hierro. La duplicidad de los nombres atribuidos a la esposa de Maciot, originarÃƒÂ¡ a lo largo de la historia la disyuntiva de que al menos debieron que existir dos esposas. Nadie cayÃƒÂ³ en la cuenta que obligatoriamente tuvo que producirse un cambio onomÃƒÂ¡stico en la filiaciÃƒÂ³n de la noble isleÃƒÂ±a, pues debÃƒÂa de resultar imposible que en la nueva civilizaciÃƒÂ³n europea, la poblaciÃƒÂ³n prehispÃƒÂ¡nica que habÃƒÂa aceptado las nuevas leyes de Europa y el ingreso en la fe de Cristo, se siguieran distinguido por sus onomÃƒÂ¡sticas gentiles. Todo este entuerto genealÃƒÂ³gico queda aclarado en el testamento y codicilo de DoÃƒÂ±a MarÃƒÂa, extendido, el primero en Funchal, en 9 de febrero de 1491, ante Afonso RodrÃƒÂgues Tabalitio, y el segundo instrumento, en 5 de noviembre de 1493. Entre otras aclaraciones, la dama dice que su madre muriÃƒÂ³ en Lanzarote y que estÃƒÂ¡ enterrada en la capilla mayor de la iglesia de Teguise. Manda a buscar a sus sobrinos carnales, Enrique y Gaspar, hijos de su hermana de Pae e Mae, para que se ocupen del mayorazgo que habÃƒÂa fundado en cabeza y llamamiento de sus parientes, y a quienes como herederos legÃƒÂtimos de Maciot, su abuelo, cobren del infante Don Enrique los 20.000 reis anuales acordados en la venta de la isla de Lanzarote, cantidad que ya habÃƒÂa sido permutada por una fÃƒÂ¡brica de jabÃƒÂ³n por el propio prÃƒÂncipe portuguÃƒÂ©s al entregÃƒÂ¡rsela unos aÃƒÂ±os antes a doÃƒÂ±a MarÃƒÂa, como asimismo queda explicado en la voluntad testamentaria. http://geneacanaria.blogspot.com.es/2012/10/de-la-inexistente-primera-mujer-de.html	Bethencourt Maciot de

DoÃƒÂ±a MarÃƒÂa, sin hijos, habiendo llegado a un acuerdo con su marido, que sÃƒÂ tenÃƒÂa descendencia extraconyugal, hizo venir a la isla azoriana a su sobrino Gaspar de Bettencourt y en ÃƒÂ©l encabezÃƒÂ³ un mayorazgo. La dama otorgÃƒÂ³ su testamento en Funchal (Madeira) el 9 de febrero de 1491 y despuÃƒÂ©s un codicilo en la isla de San Miguel el 5 de noviembre de 1493. En tales documentos, entre otros ruegos, pidiÃƒÂ³ a sus testamentarios (su marido y su sobrino Gaspar) que mandasen a Lanzarote a buscar los huesos de su madre para enterrarlos con ella en su sepultura.

200	Jean de BETHENCOURT (IV) Born 1362 in the castle of Grainville-la-TeinturiÃƒÂ¨re, Cany-Barville, Dieppe, Seine-Maritime, France; According to two sources, he was never married, but these appear to be incorrect; married Jeanne de Fayel, daughter of Guillaume de Fayel and Marguerite de Chatillon, 30 Jan 1392 in Paris, France; In the second half of 1425, as he was preparing to visit the Canary Islands again, he died, attended at his death-bed by his chaplain, Jean Le Verrier. Although the text of the manuscript of Bontier and Verrier places the death of Jean de Bethencourt in 1422, Bergeron, who was not an idle investigator, in fixing the date at 1425, says, "comme il appert par plusieurs actes" (as appears in several documents). So we may reasonably accept his decision; buried 1425 in the choir of the church of Grainville-la-TeinturiÃƒÂ¨re. He spent his infancy in the castle of Grainville-la-TeinturiÃƒÂ¨re in the company of his mother and her brother, Mathieu de Braquemont, who was also his grandmother's second husband, and later in the company of his stepfather, Roger Suhart. He was educated by his uncle, Regnault de Braquemont. In 1373 he began to take care of the larder of the Duke of Anjou as the person in charge of the distribution of bread ("pannetier"). He had children; among his descendents was the venerable Pedro de Bettencourt, great apostle of America in the seventeenth century. In 1385 Jean gave to his brother Regnault, as part of his paternal inheritance, the manor of Grand Quesnay and the lands of Huqueleu and Mauquenchy. Between 1387 and 1391 Jean de Bethencourt (IV) was chamberlain of Louis de Valois, Duke of Touraine and later Duke of Orleans. On 11 Apr 1387 he obtained from the King permission to rebuild and fortify the castle of Grainville-la-TeinturiÃƒÂ¨re previously destroyed as a consequence of civil war (confirmed 18 Jul 1388). On 9 Dec 1388, he obtained permission from Pope Clement VII to erect a chapel in the castle. Messire Jean de Bethencourt held the title of Baron in right of the Barony of Saint-Martin-le-Gaillard in the ComtÃƒÂ© d'Eu, where he had a strong castle which was taken and retaken several times in the wars with England. Monstrelet speaks of its final siege and ruin in 1419. It came by inheritance to Messire de Bethencourt from his grandmother Dame Isabeau de St. Martin. In 1390 he was standard-bearer in the expedition organized by the Duke of Orleans to battle the Moorish pirates that infested the Mediterranean, an expedition that ended in a fiasco, but brought him into contact with African lands. The marriage of Jean and Jeanne was not a happy one, and in 1405, Jeanne complained to the parlement that her husband had ordered her to be confined, not permitting her to leave the house or to speak with her father and friends. He and Jeanne de Fayel had no children leaving the suggestion that his children were illegitimate. He was a squire of Charles VI of France. He was Lord chamberlain of the royal household for Charles VI, King of France. Jean de Bethencourt (IV) was Lord of BÃƒÂ©thencourt, Saint Saire, Lincourt, Riville, Grand Quesnoy, Huqueleu, Saint-Martin-le-Gaillard, etc. He was Lord of Grainville-la-TeinturiÃƒÂ¨re. He was chamberlain of Charles VI of France in the Palace of Saint Paul, Paris, France. He developed the desire to explore the Canary Islands. In Dec 1401 he sold his house in Paris, valued at 200 gold francs, and some other small pieces of property to obtain the necessary financing for his expedition to the Canary Islands. Since the amount realized was insufficient, his uncle, Robert de Braquemont, loaned him 5,000 pounds (to which he later added another 2,000), Jean to all intents mortgaging to him the fiefs of BÃƒÂ©thencourt and Grainville. Having conceived the project of conquering the Canaries, which were then only frequented by merchants or Spanish pirates, he assembled a body of adventurers, among whom was a knight named Gadifer de La Salle, who joined him at La Rochelle, France. Bethencourt took with him his two chaplains, Brother Pierre Bontier, a Franciscan monk of St. Jouin de Marnes who later officiated at Lanzarote in the church of St. Martial de Rubicon which Bethencourt built in the castle of that name, and Jean le Verrier, a priest who was later installed at Fuerteventura as vicar in the chapel of Our Lady of Bethencourt; they were the historians of the expedition; Two early manuscripts exist detailing the story of Le Canarien. One is ms. Egerton 2709 in the British Library in London which gives preference to Gadifer de La Salle. The other, ms. mm 129 of the BibliothÃƒÂ¨que municipale in Rouen, France, gives preference to Jean de Bethencourt. It was this latter copy which was formerly in the possession of the BÃƒÂ©thencourt family; He had a relationship which produced a son after 1402 in Seville. On 1 May 1402 they started from La Rochelle, Charente-Maritime, France, putting in at Corunna and at Cadiz, where they stayed till the month of July, the party meanwhile becoming reduced by the desertion of twenty-seven men to only fifty-three in number. Eight days from Cadiz brought them to the island of Graciosa; from there they went to Lanzarote, landing on 30 Jun 1402, where they were well received and obtained permission to build a fort which they named Rubicon. Leaving Bertin de Berneval in charge, Bethencourt went with Gadifer to Fuerteventura but was obliged to return to Lanzarote on account of mutiny among his sailors and lack of provisions. While at Fuerteventura, Robin le Brument, master mariner of a ship which Gadifer affirmed to be his own, refused admission to Gadifer and his companions, but agreed, on condition of receiving hostages, to carry them over to Lanzarote; Although some sources indicate that Bethencourt discovered the Canary Islands, it would be more appropriate to say that he conquered and settled them as well as converting the inhabitants to Catholicism. The museum of the church of Santa MarÃƒÂa de Betancuria in Bethencuria, Fuerteventura, contains a replica of the banner carried by Bethencourt when he seized Fuerteventura. It was resolved that Bethencourt should go to Spain to get together what was necessary to complete the enterprise. Gadifer remained as lieutenant, and while he was absent at the Isle of Lobos, Bertin excited disaffection against him, drew together a faction of his own with which he pillaged the castle of Rubicon and took a number of natives prisoner on 25 Nov 1402, including Guardarifa, the King of Lanzarote, who had already made friendly submission to Bethencourt. Two Spanish ships had arrived meanwhile, and Bertin, having gained over Ferdinand OrdoÃƒÂ±ez, captain of the Tranchemar, took his spoils and prisoners on board, abandoned his followers to perish miserably in Africa, and went himself to Spain. The unfortunate Gadifer was left by this treachery on the island of Lobos without the supplies he expected to follow him, until the captain of the other Spanish ship, the Morelle, sent a canoe to his rescue and he returned to Rubicon. Here he found affairs in a sad state, no provisions, no stores, and an insufficient number of men to keep the natives in check. Meanwhile, Bethencourt was obtaining from Henry III, King of Castile, the supplies he wanted, on condition of doing homage. Castilian documents of 26-28 Nov 1402 refer to the lordship of the Canary Islands and the requested aid: 20,000 maravedis (old Gothic coin formerly used in Portugal and Spain), soldiers, arms, and provisions. Having sent home his wife in the charge of Enguerrand de la BoissiÃƒÂ¨re, he preferred to return to Lanzarote. On 10 Jan 1403 Bethencourt was solemnly invested by Henry III, King of Castile, with the government of the Canary Islands. He was referred to as Jean de Ventancorto in documents in Spain. Between 1404 and 1406 Jean de Bethencourt (IV) was King and Lord of the Canary Islands. Some documents refer to him as Governor of the Canary Islands. Bethencourt had learned the state of affairs on the arrival of the ship Morelle in Spain, which preceded by a short time the Tranchemar, in which the traitor Bertin arrived with his captives, and sent help to Gadifer from the king with directions to follow up the explorations. Gadifer had been to Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Ferro, Gomera, and Palma (all part of the Canary Islands), and returned to Rubicon after a voyage of three months. He had sent a ship to Spain with the account of his expedition, but Bethencourt himself now arrived at Rubicon (Os Bettencourt gives the date as 19 Apr 1404 but this appears to be too late, a date earlier in Feb seeming more likely) where he was received with great demonstrations of joy. He proceeded vigorously with the conquest of the natives. Finally, the king of Lanzarote submitted and asked for baptism on 20 Feb 1404, which he received with many of his people. After this, Bethencourt and Gadifer were only withheld from further conquest by want of aid from the courts of France and Spain, though application was made especially to the former. On their return from an expedition to the coast of Africa in 1404, Gadifer showed discontent that Bethencourt had not considered his interests when he did homage to the King of Castile for the government of the islands. However, he took part in an expedition against Gran Canaria on 25 Jul 1404, but the dispute was afterwards renewed, and on 9 Oct Gadifer set out for Castile to plead his case with the King. Finally, however, Gadifer, unable to prevail against Bethencourt's greater influence at the court of Castile, gave up his own cause in despair and returned to France. Bethencourt had several encounters with the natives, but maintained his authority successfully, and the two kings of Fuerteventura, together with their people, became Christian in Jan 1405 (Os Bettencourt gives the dates as 18 and 25 Feb 1405 for each king). On 31 Jan 1405, he went to France to obtain the materials for forming a colony, was warmly welcomed at Grainville, and obtained all he required. He left Honfleur on 9 May 1405 and returned to Lanzarote with his nephew, Maciot de Bethencourt, and was received with great joy by his own people, as well as by the inhabitants of Fuerteventura. On 6 Oct 1405 he set out on his expedition to Gran Canaria which was unsuccessful from various causes, but in Palma and Ferro, after some opposition, he formed colonies; Returning to Lanzarote, he arranged everything for the good government of the islands which he had conquered and civilized, and leaving his nephew, Maciot de Bethancourt, as governor-general, he departed universally regretted on 15 Dec 1406. He went to Spain where the king received him warmly and gave him letters of recommendation to the Pope, from whom he was anxious to obtain the appointment of a bishop for the islands. At Rome, he was well received by the Pope, who granted all he required. He then returned to France by way of Florence where he was feted by the government. Then he went to Paris and so to his own house. An indiscreet, though perfectly innocent, word from Madame de Bethencourt with reference to her brother-in-law, Regnault de Bethencourt, produced an estrangement between her and her husband whose jealous cruelty would seem to have brought about her early death. At a festivity in honor of her husband upon his return to France from the Canary Islands, she commented to him that she should have married his brother Regnault, while Jean should have married her sister who was much older, more of an age with Jean himself. A feeling of revenge led Jean to impoverish as far as possible the property to which his brother would be the successor. It is but justice to say that before his death he saw his error, and on his death-bed was anxious to declare repentance to the brother whom he had injured. On 13 Jun 1417 Jean de Bethencourt paid homage to King Charles VI of France for his feudal benefice of Bethencourt in Normandy. On 17 Oct 1418 Jean confirmed the powers previously granted to his nephew Maciot, permitting him to sell the Canary Islands with the exception of Fuerteventura which was to remain for his heirs. On 16 May 1419 Jean de Bethencourt pledged fealty to King Henry V of England. The wars between England and France had already caused Bethencourt many problems and, after the capture of Caudebec in Normandy in September 1418, this pledge of fealty was the only way to safeguard his possessions. Bethencourt remained in Grainville for several years, receiving from the bishop news of the islands and the good government of his nephew. There were no children of Jean de Bethencourt (IV) and the unknown spouse mentioned above. Jeanne de FAYEL was born after 1370 in Champagne, France. Her dowry was relatively modest. It consisted of the fief and lands of Saclas in the region of BÃƒÂ©auce, near Ãƒâ€°stampes, and an annual rent of 200 pounds which she had inherited from her maternal grandfather, the Count of Porcin. Perhaps because of the difficulty of maintaining those estates, situated far from his home, her husband Jean sold them after three years. She died before 1425. There were no children of Jean de Bethencourt (IV) and Jeanne de Fayel. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://216.239.41.104/search?q=cache:zUnxqcOClLcJ:www.geocities.com/Heartland/Flats/8407/bettencourts.html+count+of+porcin&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 This page is an extract of the site "Bettencourts 1200-1900 Generation Seven" at http://web.meganet.net/bettenco/bett0007.htm#id3 and is being used exceptionally while that original site is down in the Internet ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://web.meganet.net/bettenco/ the year his father died he visited his brother Jean de Bethencourt at Grainville-la-TeinturiÃƒÂ¨re when he was home on a short visit from the Canary Islands he pledged fealty to King Henry V of England\|\| \|\|He pledged fealty to King Henry V of England after the English had conquered most of Normandy Regnault was sent as Ambassador to Spain to persuade King Henry III to render obedience to the Pope at Avignon he received, in payment for his services, a house As vassal of the Kings of England and of France, he performed the duties of Chief Treasurer of Normandy (1423) and Commander of the night watch of the streets of Paris (1424), a duty which he lost when the city returned to the possession of the French in 1436 Regnault's goods were increased by the gift which Jean (IV) made him of all his personal fortune Regnault was granted the fief of BÃƒÂ©thencourt as well as 500 libras from the revenues of the lands of Granville which were awarded to Aldonce de Bracquemont and her husband Pierre de Rouville a certificate in Latin issued in Paris in favor of Reynaldo de Bettencourt by King Henry VI, King of England who held Paris at that time, refers to his brother as King and Lord of the Canaries he inherited all his brother's goods since his father died in 1364.
