Hamon of Château-du-Loire, Lord of Château-du-Loire 1) Died 15 Jan 1030/31 1) Notes: Hamon was a descendant of Rorans of whom there are no surviving records. Hildeburge de Bellême 2) Daughter of Yves I de Bellême, Lord of Bellême and Godehilde Unknown. Died 27 Oct 1024 2) Notes: The First House of Bellême identifies Hildeburg's (first) husband as Aubert le Riche, and has Hamon as husband to Hildeburge's sister - Godehilde. That is incorrect and based on a false assumption (that Hildeburge wife of Aubert, is the same Hildeburge as Hildeburge wife of Hamon) - that cannot be the case on chronological grounds. A son of Albert (Arnoul), son of Albert and Hildeburge has to have been born c993 at the latest, which means Hildeburge must have been having children c975 at the latest. Whereas there is a known son of Hildeburge and Hamon (Gervaise) born in 1007. Hildeburge, wife of Hamon, can be confirmed as a daughter of Yves from Bishop Gervaise's testament. Child: |
