Bouchard I. de Montmorency

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bouchard I. le Barbu (lat .: Burchardi Barbati ; German: Burkhard the Bearded ; † after February 1028) was a lord of Montmorency , he is the progenitor of the extensive house of Montmorency .

history

In a document from the Abbey of Saint-Denis , Bouchard the Bearded is mentioned that he owned a castle on an island on the Seine and the Montmorency estate (now in the Val-d'Oise department ). He acquired the castle through a marriage to the daughter of Hugo Basset. This document confirms the razing of the castle by King Robert II the Pious , apparently because Bouchard was in a feud with the abbey . The certificate is dated differently in historical research; André Duchesne sets it on January 25, 996, Bedos on January 25, 1008.

In February 1028 Bouchard received from Count Fulko III. Nerra of Anjou transferred the castles of Écouen and Marly , formerly owned by the Counts of Vendôme .

Bouchard I had at least three sons: Bouchard II , Gelduin and Aubry .

annotation

In the older literature Bouchard le Barbu is often referred to with the ordinal number "II.", Because he is assigned a Bouchard de Bray as father, for which, however, there is no evidence. The ordinal numbers of the Boucharde von Montmorency shift accordingly by the value one.
