Aymar d'Aigrefeuille

Aymar d'Aigrefeuille (also Adhémar d'Aigrefeuille ) (* 1325 in La Font in the Diocese of Limoges ; † 1382 ), was the eldest son of Guillaume d'Aigrefeuille and Aigline de Tudeils , brother of the cardinals Guillaume d'Aigrefeuille l'Ancien and Faydit d'Aigrefeuille , father of Cardinal Guillaume d'Aigrefeuille le Jeune , and Marshal of the Papal Court in Avignon .

Life

Nothing is known of Aymar's life prior to 1342. This year he was the first time in a breve of the new Pope Clement VI. mentioned.

Land acquisition

Guillaume d'Aigrefeuille died in the Limousin in 1343. His son Aymar then arranged an exchange with the knight Hugues Gautier, which brought him land ( tènement ) in La Font in exchange for pensions on Graffeuil.

On May 13, 1350 Aymar d'Aigrefeuille paid homage to the new vice count of Turenne Guillaume III. Roger de Beaufort . In the same year Aymar, "damoiseau" married Aigline de Montal, daughter of Géraud II. De Montal and Hélène de Barsac, niece of Hélène de Montal, from 1325 wife of Bernard de Cazillac. The couple had six children: Jean senior (Baron de Gramat ), Adhémar II (Seigneur de la Font et de Tudeils), Florence (she married Olivier de Cazillac, Hugues de Montferrand and Arnaud de Bérail), Hélène, called Douce (she married Jean de Maumont and Bertrand de Faudoas), Marie (she married Bertrand de Loudun and Hélie de Lestrade) and Guillaume le Jeune (cardinal)

The Procureur of the Viscount de Turenne

On January 26, 1352, Guillaume, Viscount de Turenne, gave his cousin Aymar d'Aigrefeuille and his brother-in-law Hugues de la Roche , Rector of the Comtat Venaissin, a power of attorney that “he had appointed them as his lawyers to govern the city and to take possession of the Barony of Pertuis and other places, with the power to confirm the privileges granted to the inhabitants, to appoint officials and to take tributes and oaths of allegiance. "

In the same year the Viscount was recovering from a serious illness when he held a meeting of the Vice-County of Turenne in the Chastel de Vrefeuil.His agents were again Hugues de la Roche, Castellan of Cornillon in the Diocese of Uzès , and Aymar d'Aigrefeuille.

The Marshal of the Papal Court

Shortly after he was elected Pope on November 6, 1362, Urban V. appointed Aymar d'Aigrefeuille Marshal of the Papal Court. This was recognition of the Aigrefeuille family, who had patronized his career up to this point. In addition, there seems to have been a feudal relationship between the Grimoard, the pontiff's family , and the Aigrefeuille.

The division of rule with his sons

In 1365 Aymar paid homage alone to the Viscount de Turenne for the last time. The following year, Jean d'Aigrefeuille, Aymar's eldest son, Adhémar II, the youngest, and Jean d'Aigrefeuille le Jeune paid homage to him as coseigneurs for their fiefdoms.

In the same year (1366) Jean l'Ancien married Anne de Tarride, daughter of Bertrand de Tarride and Alazie de Castelnau-Gramat, heir to their father Guérin II. De Castelnau.

The death of Jean d'Aigrefeuille

Jean d'Aigrefeuille, the eldest son of Aymar and Baron de Gramat, died in 1373. In his will, he left his domains to his son Elzéar (Alzias). Jean d'Aigrefeuille, called le Jeune, son of Adhémar II, became Elzéar's guardian while he was a minor.

The following year, Aymar d'Aigrefeuille had to take the place of his late elder to pay tribute to Gérald de la Roche. He did this as Seigneur de La Font and Coseigneur de Tudeils, Lostanges et Nonars (the Barony of Gramat was a fiefdom of his grandson Elzéar).

The marshal becomes advisor to the king and rector of the Mark Ancona

In October 1374, the marshal of the papal court, Aymar d'Aigrefeuille, applied for his advisor to the king, who was exposed to the repression that affected the Limousin after the cities of Brive and Tulle surrendered to the English without a fight Bertrand de Maumont for a letter of relief granted thanks to his advocacy.

1375 released Gregory XI. Aymar d'Aigrefeuille as marshal of the papal court so that he could become rector of the Mark Ancona .

He died in 1382, because in the course of the year Jean d'Aigrefeuille, called le Jeune, paid homage to the Baron de la Roche for his ward Elzéar, and Adhémar II, Seigneur de Tudeils et La Font , swore allegiance to Raimond de Turenne . It is not known where and when the funeral of the rector of the Mark Ancona took place.
