Châtillon (noble family)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The remains of the medieval castle of Châtillon-sur-Marne

The Châtillon house was one of the longest-lived noble houses in France , existing from the 11th to the 19th centuries. The eponymous headquarters was Châtillon-sur-Marne ( Dépt. Marne ), about 25 km southwest of Reims . Originally belonging to the ranks of the Champagne castle lords, the family gained prominence during the Middle Ages , producing several battle participants, crusaders , officers of the king and feudal princes. On the other hand, their importance decreased in modern times ; only the last two representatives of the house were raised to the status of pairs of France . The last member of this family died in 1840.

Origins

Until the 20th century, the picture of the genealogical origins of the House of Châtillon was shaped by a largely uncritical reproduction of the genealogical research on this family by the historian André Duchesne († 1640) from the 17th century. He constructed a family tree that went back to the early 11th century, the progenitor of which was named "Miles Seigneur de Chastillon & de Basoches", who in turn was a brother of Archbishop Guido of Reims (1033-1055). Now Duchesne avoided basing his findings on primary sources, which does not guarantee their accuracy. The contestability of its construction is already revealed in the claim that Pope Urban II, born in Châtillon-sur-Marne (see House Lagery ) was a son of the ominous progenitor Miles, which was refuted more than a century later. In fact, it is not possible to draw a clear genealogical picture of the earliest generations of the Châtillon family based on the documents that have survived to this day.

The oldest written mentions of a "castle over the Marne " and its first master come from the annals and church history of the Flodoard of Reims from the 10th century. Archbishop Herive of Reims (French: Hervé ; † 922) was in the power struggle for rule in western France between the Carolingians and Robertinians a supporter of the Carolingian Charles III. of the simple-minded . During his tenure in Reims, he sold the church's estates to his brother Odo and her nephew Herive, who built a castle over the Marne (castrum ... super fluvium Maternam) . After the death of his uncle, Herive the Younger refused the requested restitution of these goods to the church, whereupon Archbishop Artold banned him from the church . From his castle Herive feuded the church of Reims during these years, the property of which he attacked and plundered. In 940 his castle was attacked and destroyed by the archbishop in association with King Ludwig IV , but Herive was able to continue his raids. It was not until 947 that he was put to battle and killed by the archbishop's vassal Count Ragenold and his brother Dodon.

Whether the feud man Herive is an early ancestor of the Châtillon family, and whether his “castle over the Marne” was in the same place as the now-known Châtillon-sur-Marne, can no longer be determined with certainty. Because the oldest known written testimony to a "von Châtillon", which could also be quoted by Duchesne, was only drawn up over a century after him. The confirmation document of King Philip I from 1076 for the establishment of the Abbey of Saint-Jean-des-Vignes near Soissons is attested, among other things, by a Guido of Châtillon (Wido de Castellonio) . During the lifetime of that guidos, Pope Urban II († 1099) was born in the "castle over the Marne" (natus de Castellione super Maternam) , which later led historians to recognize him as a member of the lord's family. According to Guido I of Châtillon, two documents, one of which is dated to the year 1103, include a Walter von Châtillon (Walcherus de Castellione) , Guermond of Châtillon (Guarmundus de Castellione) and Jacob of Châtillon (Iacobi de Castellione) , who were perhaps brothers as sons of Guido I. The lords of Savigny descended from Guermond, while the lords of Châtillon may have continued through Walter.

In 1117 Heinrich von Châtillon appears for the first time in the documents, who in 1127 also calls himself Lord von Montjay (Montjay-la-Tour in Villevaudé , Dépt. Seine-et-Marne ). In a document from the Archbishop of Reims from 1130, he is finally named as the husband of the Ermengarde and with their son Walter II of Châtillon , making this the first documented filiation of the House of Châtillon. From then on, the further main line of the house can be traced seamlessly through traditional documents and narrative chronicles.

The rise to the leading families of France began with the marriage of Guidos II of Châtillon to a niece of King Louis VII († 1180), through which the Châtillons reached the spheres of the royal nobility. In the following generations, thanks to advantageous hereditary marriages, they were able to leave the circles of the subordinate castle nobility of Champagne and move up into the high feudal nobility of France. Various branches of the family have come into possession of important fiefdoms, which made them immediate vassals of the crown. These were:

During the War of the Breton Succession , Karl von Blois, a Châtillon, appeared as a pretender to rule over the Duchy of Brittany , but he fell in the decisive battle of Auray in 1364.

In contrast, the rule of the family in Châtillon-sur-Marne corresponded to a simple castle rule, which was based on the mere possession of the castle they had built. The castellany, however, that is to say rule over the castle district and the town itself, was in the hands of the Counts of Champagne . In addition to its importance as the family seat, the castle had hardly had any special status for the Châtillons, especially when compared to the rule of Crécy , which it had owned in its entirety since the 12th century. When the family came into the possession of the counties of Saint-Pol and Blois in the 13th century, it became customary for them to pass on their comparatively insignificant Châtillon castle to their youngest son. With the marriage of the last Countess of Champagne, Johanna I , with King Philip IV of France , the county of Champagne and with it the castellany of Châtillon-sur-Marne passed into the possession of the crown. In 1290, King Philip IV and Walter V of Châtillon agreed a barter, according to which the latter ceded the lordship of Crécy to the crown and received the castellany for Châtillon-sur-Marne, i.e. full control over the place and district. Only thirteen years later, Walter V. gave it up in a new barter and returned the castellany to the Crown for the preservation of the county of Porcéan . Once again restricted to mere castle ownership, the younger sons of the family had to come to terms with it. The castle itself was given up as a residence, not structurally expanded and exposed to decay.

The high prestige of the name Châtillon was embarrassed not least because of the well-known knightly disposition of its relatives. In all the great battles of the high Middle Ages in which the French knighthood went, whether at Bouvines (1214) , at Taillebourg (1243) , at Westkapelle (1253) , at the one with the golden spurs (1302) , at Crécy (1346) , at Roosebeke (1382) , or at Azincourt (1415) there was always at least one Châtillon with them. Likewise, hardly any other family could point to an even remotely high level of commitment with a corresponding blood toll in the Crusades . Walter I of Châtillon died on the crusade of 1101 . Following his example, almost all generations after him have gone on all subsequent "armed pilgrimages" to the Holy Land . Part of the historical truth is that the most famous Châtillon ever to appear in that context was not a family member at all. Rainald of Châtillon , beheaded by Sultan Saladin by the horns of Hattin in 1187 , was a member of the Burgundian house of Semur-Donzy .

Pair of France

The end of the Middle Ages was accompanied by a loss of importance for the Châtillon family. His most important branches of the family had died out in the male line and the feudal territories they held were lost. Even the castle of Châtillon-sur-Marne that gave it its name fell to another family through inheritance. At the beginning of the 17th century there was only one side branch that could call a number of smaller manors its own and carried the low title of knight (French: chevalier ). André Duchesne dedicated his work on the history of the House of Châtillon, completed in 1621, to Gilles de Châtillon, who was then living.

It was not until about a century later that the family succeeded in advancing the hierarchy of the court of Versailles , whereby the proximity of the family to the household of Philippe de France, duc d'Orléans paid off. Alexis Henri de Châtillon is said to have been one of the lovers of the "Monsieur". His nephew Alexis Madeleine Rosalie de Châtillon († 1754) was married to a daughter of the Minister of War and Chancellor Daniel Voysin de La Noiraye . As an officer he was able to distinguish himself in the battle of Guastalla in 1734, following the family tradition . Promoted to governor of the Dauphin's household the following year , he was admitted to the Pairs of France in March 1736. For this purpose, the Barony Mauléon in the Poitou was transferred to him and given the hereditary title of Duke of Châtillon (French: duc de Châtillon ). Even before the Revolution, the last descendant of the lord of the castle Guido I of Châtillon died with the second Duke of Châtillon , whose two daughters thus became the last members of the Châtillon family.

In the Netherlands, the Châtillon families, in addition to the Blois van Treslong , also the de Cocq family called van Haeften settled in the Netherlands.

coat of arms

The family coat of arms of the House of Châtillon is for the first time on a seal of Walters III. of Châtillon from 1206. Its blazon (De gueules, à trois pals de vair, au chef d'or) was retained by all lines of the family and only individually supplemented by heraldic symbols in its golden shield head . The color scheme of the coat of arms is known from the dedication picture of the Meliacin ou le Cheval de fust written by Girard d'Amiens around 1285 , on which Walter V of Châtillon is depicted.

  • Family coat of arms

The family coat of arms was carried on in the Middle Ages by the line of the Counts of Blois, while those of the Counts of Saint-Pol complemented it with a tournament collar . The line of the Counts of Porcéan led, beginning with Walter V of Châtillon, Connétable of France, a merlette heraldic on the right in the ribbon, later they discarded this motif in favor of a leopard . The line of the Lords of Dampierre, which branched off from the Porcéan line, expanded its coat of arms with two leopards.

  • Châtillon-Saint-Pol

  • Châtillon-Porcéan

  • Châtillon-Porcéan

  • Châtillon-Dampierre

The line of the gentlemen of Châtillon, also derived from the Connétable, marked its coat of arms with three merlettes. For their municipal coat of arms, the municipality of Châtillon-sur-Marne reduced the number back to one, which was placed in the main shield.
