Bouchard III. de Montmorency

Bouchard III. (German: Burkhard ; † 1124 ) was a lord of Montmorency from the house of Montmorency . He was a son of Hervé de Montmorency († before 1096) and his wife Agnes.

In league with his brother-in-law, Count Matthew I of Beaumont , Bouchard feuded the Abbey of Saint-Denis at the turn of the century in 1100 , which provoked a military intervention by the French Crown Prince Louis (VI.) The Fat , which forced him to submit. In 1119 Bouchard fought for the French king in the Battle of Brémule against the Anglo-Norman and was captured. Heinrich I. Beauclerc released him soon afterwards.

According to an entry in the necrology of Notre-Dame du Val Abbey, Bouchard died in Jerusalem ( Palestine ) in 1124 , as did two of his grandchildren in 1189. Apparently he had made a pilgrimage there.

• Mathieu I , lord of Montmorency, Connétable of France
• Thibaud
• ? Daughter ; ∞ with Guido von Guise
