Guido I of Châtillon
Guido I of Châtillon ( French Guy Ier de Châtillon ) is the progenitor of the French noble house of Châtillon , which had its ancestral seat in the castle of Châtillon-sur-Marne and existed in an agnatic line until the 19th century. He himself lived in the 11th century.
Guido I. is only guaranteed once in a document. He (Wido de Castellonio) is listed among the witnesses in King Philip I's confirmation document from 1076 for the establishment of the Abbey of Saint-Jean-des-Vignes near Soissons .
In the 17th century, the historian and genealogist André Duchesne constructed a more extensive line of ancestors to Guido I of Châtillon, which he was unable to substantiate with written evidence. Guido was the son of a "Miles Seigneur de Chastillon et de Basoches", brother of "Evdes de Chastillon ... fin Pape dit Vrbain II" and nephew of Archbishop Guido of Reims (1033-1055). The proof of the existence of that Miles as well as the relationship of the archbishop to those of Châtillon could not be provided until today and one of Pope Urban II († 1099) could even be refuted (see Haus Lagery ).
Walter I of Châtillon , who appears in a document dated before 1100, was probably a son of Guido, as were the Guermond of Châtillon (descendants of the Lords of Savigny) and Jacob of Châtillon mentioned in 1103.
