Aubry (Gâtinais)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aubry († 1028/30) was a count of Gâtinais in the 10th and 11th centuries.

He was a son of Count Gottfried I of Gâtinais († after 991) and Beatrix, a daughter of Count Aubry II of Mâcon . His family background emerges from a document from Bishop Franco of Paris from 1028, in which Aubry was named as the current Count of Gâtinais ( Albericus, Comes Nandonensium ). At the same time he donated land around Auxerre to the Abbey of Saint-Benoît-de-Fleury . He died shortly afterwards, whereupon his half-brother Gottfried II Ferréol succeeded him in the Gâtinais .

Based on a letter from the abbot of Fleury from the year 997, Christian Settipani drafted the thesis that a certain Wal [terius] ( Wal comitis de castro Nantonis ) had taken power in the Gâtinais after the death of Gottfried I, due to a minority of Aubry. This Wal [terius] would have been his uncle and would also have ousted a nephew named Q [u] auzfridus ( Qauz ), who would have been Aubry's older brother.
