Montlhéry (noble family)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Montlhéry was one of those families of the lesser nobility of the Île-de-France who had taken power in the 11th and 12th centuries, but then disappeared from the political scene.

The high point of their development was the engagement (or even marriage) of Lucienne von Rochefort to the Crown Prince Ludwig (VI.), Which was however broken again before his accession to the throne - which meant the de facto overthrow of the family. In the same generation, the Montlhéry family died out.

annotation

In older genealogical work, the Montlhéry family was viewed as a branch of the Montmorency ; this view has proven to be untenable.

Individual evidence

  1. ↑ At Schwennicke Crécy-en-Bray , which does not exist in the Bray countryside (Normandy); There is probably a transcription error here, as Gui's brother Milon I and nephew Milon II de Bray were named. In fact, Crécy (-en-Brie) came into his possession through his wife Adélaide
  2. ↑ so also with Frank Baron Freytag von Loringhoven, Europäische Stammtafeln, Volume III (1964) Plate 113, but no longer in Detlev Schwennicke , Europäische Stammtafeln, Volume XIV (1989) Plate 116
