Anséric II of Montréal

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anséric II of Montréal († 1191 before Acre ) was a lord of the castle of Montréal ( House Chacenay ) in Bourgogne . He was the eldest son of Anséric I of Montréal († 1170) and Adelheid von Pleurs.

While Anséric succeeded in ruling Montréal when his father died, his younger brother Johann I took over the castle of Arcis-sur-Aube in Champagne . Both brothers are documented for the first time in a document from their father from 1164. From Duke Hugo III. of Burgundy Anséric was entrusted with the office of ducal seneschal. Both brothers declared their participation in the third crusade in 1189 . Probably the two did not move to Outremer with their cousin Erhard I von Chacenay in advance of the French crusaders in the summer of 1190 , but belonged to the retinue of the Duke of Burgundy, who reached the camp near Acre with King Philip II on August 1191 . Anséric II, like his brother and his cousin, died during the siege of Acre in 1191. According to the dubious report of an English chronicler, Anséric confessed on his death bed, together with his nephew Guido II of Dampierre , Bishop Philip of Beauvais , his brother Robert II of Dreux , Landgrave Ludwig III. von Thuringia and Count Otto I. von Geldern received a large amount of bribe from Saladin and, in return, to have stopped the fighting during the siege.

Anséric II was married to Sibylle of Burgundy († after 1197), a cousin of Duke III. of Burgundy, first attested as his wife in 1170. They had several children including:

  • Anséric III. († ~ 1236), Lord of Montréal.
  • Jean, Mr. von Tart.
  • André, Lord of Marmeaux.
  • Hugues († 1232), Bishop of Langres .
