Garlande

The Garlande family , Latin Garlanda , also known as Garland , played an essential role in the Kingdom of France in the first half of the 12th century, as several siblings of this family managed to rise to the highest court positions at the same time, and thus decisive for politics in the crown domain to influence.

history

The origins of the Garlande family of politicians, probably a sideline of the Garlande von Garlande-en-Brie family , are largely obscure. There is a lot of confusion about the previous generation of the politically successful Garlande sons. Your father is mentioned in various publications e.g. T. as Gilbert I., z. T. as Adam pincerna , in other genealogies also as Wilhelm I, Lord of Chantilly. There is no certainty about this, but documents from Saint-Martin-des-Champs show a certain Adam as the father and an Alberich as another ancestor. It seems unusual that two of the Garlande brothers carried the name Gilbert at the same time. Perhaps this caused the name to be confused with the father.

The ancestral castle of the politicians Garlande is in Livry-en-l'Aunoye , later the castle Gournay-sur-Marne belongs to their fund. From insignificant beginnings, Herr von Garlande and his sons managed to rise to the highest court positions: the father was initially the royal cupbearer, his son Gilbert was promoted to Seneschal of France under King Philip I around 1100 . The senior succeeds in establishing his other sons at the court as his successor: after his death in 1101, Anselm takes office from 1101 to 1104 and 1107 to 1118. Anselm became a Seneschal from 1108 to 1118, then his brother Wilhelm for 2 years. Brother Gilbert Paganus is under King Ludwig VI. from 1112 to 1127 royal cupbearer. The son Stephan von Garlande advanced the furthest , he was chancellor from 1108 to 1127 and then again from 1132 to 1137, and from 1120 to 1127 also a seneschal. He is also a high-ranking cleric, temporarily Bishop of Beauvais, from 1104 archdeacon of Paris, from 1111 dean of Sainte-Geneviève near Paris and later in several churches in Orléans, Sens and Étampes.
