Barthelemy de Roye

Barthélemy de Roye (* around 1170; † January 24, 1237 ) was a French nobleman from the House of Roye and a Grand Chamberlain of France . He was a younger son of the Sire Rogues of Roye and the Adeline of Guise.

Barthélemy entered the service of King Philip II August , whom he followed on the Third Crusade (1190–1191). As the king's envoy in 1194, he reached an alliance between Prince Johann Ohnelands and his brother Richard the Lionheart . He was also decisively involved in the negotiations for the Treaty of Le Goulet 1200 between Johann Ohneland and the King of France.

In 1208 Barthélemy was appointed the king's chamberlain and fought in the battle of Bouvines in 1214 . Together with Bishop Guérin von Senlis and the Templar master Aymard, he was one of the executors of the king's will in 1223. He also retained his influential position at the court of Louis VIII and, together with the papal legate Romano Frangipani, was the king's most important advisor and, after his death in 1226, was the regent Blanka of Castile .

After his death, Barthélemy was buried in the Joyenval Abbey, which he founded in 1221.

He was married to Perennelle von Montfort († February 13, 1216), a daughter of Simon (IV.) Von Montfort († 1188), with whom he had two daughters.
