Gascony (noble family)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gascogne was a family of the southwestern French, Gascon , perhaps also Basque nobility, who ruled Aquitaine in the 8th century , but above all Gascogne up to the 11th century, as counts or dukes . Century is possible.

A compilation going back further into the past, but also the connection to the later Counts of Bigorre and Vice- Counts of Béarn , is made more difficult by forged documents, such as the Charter of Alaon , which are still in use despite the proven inauthenticity.

Sigiwinum" in 816; Ademar von Chabannes reports on the death of "Sigiwinus comes Burdigalensis et Sanctoniciensis", Bordeaux, in 846) and Saintes , against the Vikings; a letter from Abbot Lupus von Ferrières to Archbishop Wenilo von Sens from 846 contains that "Ducem Vasconum Siguinum" was killed by the "Normannos inter Burdegalam et Santones ", which suggests the identity of the two people)
        1. Garcia, (no mention outside of the charter)
      2. Centulle, (known only as the father of Loup)
        1. Loup Centulle († after 819), (Einhard: "Berengario Tolosæ et Warino Arverni comite" fought against "Lupus Centulli Wasco" in 819, and Gersand, Loup's brother, was killed - "in quo et fratrem Garsandum ... interitum fuit")

Donati Lupi comiti ... et filiis meis et filias", the document is dated December 865 and is with "Dattonis Donati comitis, Luponis, Luponis Centuli" signed) - Descendants: the Vice Counts of Béarn
        2. Gersand († 819), (Einhard: "Berengario Tolosæ et Warino Arverni comite" fought against "Lupus Centulli Wasco" in 819, and Gersand, Loup's brother, was killed - "in quo et fratrem Garsandum ... interitum fuit")
    2. Loup Sanche (probably more like: Sanche Loup), ( Ermold Le Noir mentions "Loup Sancion" and "Sancion prince des Gascons", who was brought up at the court of Charlemagne and sworn allegiance to him) - the second verifiable part of the Trunk list (see below)
      1. Aznar Sanche († 836), Count in the Basque Country, died as Count of Gascon north of the Pyrenees (Vasconia), near Schwennicke without heirs
        1. Garcia Aznar, (no mention outside of the charter)
          1. Aznar Garcia, (no mention outside of the charter)
            1. Loup Aznar, ( Flodoard von Reims reports that "Lupus quoque Acinarius Vasco" swore allegiance to Hugo (936 dux Francorum) and King Rudolf (Raoul) in 932 )
              1. Aznar, Count of Comminges ("Vicecomes… Asnarius" founded (probably around 915) the Peyrissas monastery after returning from a trip to Rome and placed it under the protection of the "comiti Comunensis", the Count of Comminges, according to Jaurgain, J. de (1898 ) La Vasconie, étude historique et critique, deuxième partie (Pau), p. 287, which quotes a "préambule d´une charte de Lézat de 1105 ou environ"; the father of Count Arnaldo von Comminges and Couserans († before 957) was probably called Aznar, see House Comminges , his descendants are the Counts of Carcassonne up to the middle of the 11th century and the Counts of Foix )
        2. Marie, ⚭ Wandregisel, Count on the Hispanic border, descendant of Duke Eudo of Aquitaine (only one mention: the editor of Vita Hludowici Imperatoris reports in a footnote: "Asenarius comes de Iacca filiam suam Mariam" married "Wandregisilo limitis Hispanici comitis, qui from Eudone Aquitaniæ ducis genus ducebat ", without naming a source)
      2. Sanche Sanche, called M (end) itarra, attested in 839/852 - for descendants see below .
      3. Daughter, probably Sancha, ⚭ Emenon , Count of Périgord ( Gellones ), (her filiation results from the data on her son Arnaldus)
        1. Arnaldus († 864), (The Translatio Reliquiarum S. Faustæ reports that Arnaldus received "apud Gascones ... Ducatus", that he was "filius cuiusdam comitis Petragoricensis ... Imonis" and the successor of "avunculo suo Sanctioni")
    3. Adela, ⚭ Waifar , Duke of Aquitaine (X 768), (specified above)

Without connection:

  • Totilo († after 815), Duke
  • Seguin († after 816), Duke (not identical to the above-mentioned Seguin)
  • Donat, (descendants: the Count of Bailo)
  • Guillaume, Count, probably Count of Bordeaux and probably Duke of Gascogne (the Chronicon Fontanellense reports that "ducem eiusdem Guilhelmum" was captured when the Normans conquered Bordeaux in 848; his death is not recorded)
