Avelina de Hesdin

Biography

• Avelina de Hesdin was born about 1077 in Dol-de-Bretagne, Bretagne, France.
• She died after 1126 in Shropshire, England.
• She was buried in 1126.

• Avelina de Hesdin was also known as Adeliza de Hesding.
• ADELINE [Aveline], daughter of ARNOUL de Hesdin [en Picardie] & his wife Emmeline --- (-after 1126). “Alanus filius Flaaldi et Adelina uxor mea” donated property to Castle Acre Priory by undated charter[1293]. Her parentage is confirmed by Orderic Vitalis who records that "Ernulf de Hesdin" was avunculus of "William fitz Alan castellan and vicecomes of Shrewsbury"[1294]. It is assumed that her [first] marriage took place early in the reign of Henry I King of England, who sponsored her husband´s rise to prominence in England as shown by the king´s charters in which he is named. Eyton states that Dugdale intimates that "Dame Adeliza" who donated land at Wolston to Burton abbey, by charter dated to before 1114, was Alan FitzFlaad´s widow and the mother of "Sibil" who with her husband Roger de Freville confirmed her mother´s donation by charter dated 1132[1295]. Henry I King of England confirmed an agreement between the bishop of Norwich and "Avelinam de Hesding" concerning "terra de Ettona" by charter dated to [1121/27][1296]. She married secondly Robert FitzWalter of Caen[1297]. The Historia sancti Petri Gloucestriæ records that "Robertus filius Walteri et Avelina uxor eius" donated "ecclesiam de Nortone", as previously donated by "Elmelina mater Avelinæ ante plures annos", in 1126[1298]. A charter of Henry II King of England, dated 1176, recites donations to Haughmond abbey including that of "Willielmus filius Alani" of "terram de Piperinges" previously enjoyed by "Aveline matris ipsius Willielmi filius Alani"[1299].

Fledaldus FitzAlan, Senescal of Dol

Biography

• Fledaldus FitzAlan, Senescal of Dol, was born about 1046 in Dol-de-Bretagne, Bretagne, France.
• He died in 1106.

• Kurzbiografie
  Numerous sources are attached which provide substantial proof of the existence of Alan fitz Alan, styled "Dapifer of Dol", who took part in the First Crusade in 1097; who was brother to Flaald fitz Alan and Rhiwallon fitz Alan. Sources include the definitive J. Horace Round's 1901 Studies in Peerage with a fitz Flaald family tree and references to Dom Robineau's 1707 History of Brittany; J. Horace Round's 1899 Calendar of Documents Preserved in France, Vol I, with copies of the actual Cartularies of religious affiliations and their Charters; the 1904 Scot's Peerage that confirms Round's family tree; the 1916 Le Strange Records; a Wikipedia article on Alan fitz Flaald; and Fox's 2009 Article on the Archbishops of Dol.
  
  These sources overtake the outdated Dugdales and modern British Peerage sources, where it concerns the descendants of the Alan fitz Flaald and Rhiwallon Extraneous families of Norfolk and Shropshire. Each individual in Round's Alan fitz Flaald Family tree is supported in full by at least one, more often by two or more ancient sources; and shows the connection between the monks of St Florent and Rhiwallon (Welsh) or more correctly Rivallon (Breton) Extraneus, founder of the Le Strange families of Norfolk and Shropshire.
  
  The area of Dol is near Mont-Saint-Michel and has figured in the history of the Duchy of Brittany since at least the rule of Nominoe. Round's genealogy was confirmed in 1904 by Sir James Balfour Paul, then Lord Lyon King of Arms, who, in a definitive work, The Scots Peerage, stated that "the Stewarts or Stuarts are of Breton origin, descended from a family which held the office of Seneschal or Steward of Dol."
  
  After an anonymous work of 1874 drew attention to a strong connection between Alan fitz Flaald and Brittany, and confirmed Flaald's relationship to Alan the Seneschal (Alan Dapifer); J. Horace Round definitively established and publicized Alan fitz Flaald's true Breton origins in 1901 in his Studies in Peerage.
  
  From Round's 1901 Studies, p120-3: Some charters were specially selected by me from the Liber Albus of St. Florent (Nos. 1152-4) to illustrate, about the end of (William) the Conqueror's reign, the little group of Dol families who were about to settle in England. Among the witnesses to one of them are Baderon and his son the Domesday tenant. But the one family we have specially to trace is that which held the office of "Dapifer" at Dol.
  
  "Alan Dapifer" is found as a witness, in 1086, to a charter relating to Mezuoit (a cell of St. Florent, near Dol; per Dom Lobineau's 1707 History of Brittany, p. 250). He also, as "Alanus Siniscallus", witnessed the foundation charters of that house (ante 1080) and himself gave it rights at Mezuoit with the consent of "Fledaldus frater ejus (Flaald his brother)", the monks, in return, admitting his brother Rhiwallon to their fraternity (per Dom Lobineau's 1707 History of Brittany, p. 137, 138, collated by Round with the Liber Albus at Angers). In 1095 Hamo son of Main made a gift to the Priory of Combourg with the consent of his wife Basilia, and his brothers William and Walter, to which Alan the steward was the first witness (Round, p122-123). It is as "Alanus dapifer Dolensis" that he took part in the first crusade in 1096 (Odericus Vitalis, Historie de France, vol III, p 507).
  
  The fact can be observed from above that "Fledaldus frater ejus" directly translated from the Latin is "Flaald his brother", which confirms that Alan Dapifer the 1096 crusader is Flaald's brother, not his father Alan an earlier Seneschal or Steward of Dol. That the crusader's ante 1080 gift at Mezuoit was conceded "by his brother Flaald" means that in some way Alan was subordinate to his brother Flaald at this time. It is important to note here that Alan's office of "dapifer" at Dol was afterwards held by descendants of Flaald fitz Alan. From this it must be logically deduced that Alan Dapifer the crusader, who had no issue, had his brother Flaald as his heir. I know of no further evidence of Alan Dapifer the crusader in any charters after 1096.
  
  Round's statement on p120 and quote from the original Charter No. 1136 is more definitive evidence for Flaald fitz Alan and his father, Alan Sr., another earlier Dapifer Dolensis (Seneschal or Steward of Dol). Round says: Fortunately Flaald is a name, for practical purposes, unique; and we need not, therefore, hesitate to recognize in "Float filius Alani dapiferi" (which translated means Flaald fitz [son of] Alan Dapifer). Flaald fitz Alan was present at the dedication of Monmouth Priory in Wales (1101/2) and is the long-sought missing link.
  
  By looking at what is known of Flaald and his two brothers; it can be deduced that Alan fitz Alan (Dapifer of Dol and crusader) was the oldest of the three brothers, Flaald fitz Alan was the second son, and Rhiwallon (Rivallon) was the youngest. "Alan Dapifer" is found as a witness, in 1086, to a charter relating to Mezuoit, a cell of St. Florent near Dol. He also, as "Alanus Siniscallus", witnessed the foundation charters of that house (ante 1080) and himself gave it rights at Mezuoit with the consent of Flaald fitz Alan his brother, the monks in return admitting his brother Rhiwallon to their fraternity. In 1095 Hamo son of Main made a gift to the Priory of Combourg with the consent of his wife Basilia, and his brothers William and Walter, to which Alan the steward was the first witness (Round, p122-123).
  
  Alan Dapifer the crusader signed many charters in Brittany as Steward of Dol with his brother Flaald from 1080 through 1095, before he went on crusade in 1096 and was no longer seen in the historical records. It was deduced that Flaald was Alan's heir since there is no record of a marriage nor issue. One charter, the Mezuoit Charter in 1086, was conceded by Flaald, which adds further weight to the deduction that Flaald was Alan's heir and after 1096 inherited his office of Steward of Dol. Source for Alan as a crusader in 1097 is Odericus Vitalis (O.V.). Odericus Vitalis (O.V.) was an English monk of Saint Evroult in Normandy who is reported to have collected stories from travelers who passed through Saint Evroult used in writing his Historica Ecclesiastica. Fox in his 2009 Article seems surprised that O. V. did not report Alan's death on crusade in Palestine in 1097, however it would not be unexpected that O.V. missed this fact due to his less than specific method of collecting facts and information. These charters show that Rhiwallon must have been born in Dol before 1080, shortly before the death of his parents, and that Flaald succeeded his brother Alan as Steward of Dol after 1096.
  
  Flaald lived the first part of his life in Dol, Brittany and it has been seen that he succeeded his brother Alan Dapifer the crusader as heir and Steward of Dol when the crusader left for Palestine in 1096. Flaald came to England with his son Alan after Henry I's ascension to the throne. He was seen at Henry's court shortly after 1100 and then at the dedication of Monmouth priory in 1101/2. Now that his son Alan was married and fully established in Norfolk and Shropshire by Henry I, Flaald likely returned home to Dol, Brittany since he no longer appears in England. The educated suppositions about his death assume that Flaald returned to his home in Dol, Brittany to resume his duties as Steward of Dol and died there, with his grandson Jordan succeeding him in the hereditary office of Steward of Dol in 1128.
  
  -----------------------------------------
  
  Paul A. Fox, in his 2009 Article: The Archbishops of Dol and the Origin of the Stewarts; proposes a fitz Alan family genealogy that deviates from the confirmed Alan fitz Flaald family tree by Round and is problematic where it proposes deletion of Round's elder Alan fitz Flaald and where it proposes adding a younger Flaald fitz Alan (Fox's Proposed Genealogy, p 63).
  
  Above, Round has provided definitive proof with the original sources for the existence of the elder Alan fitz Flaad. I find no fault with Round's proven and confirmed family tree and find no reason to delete the elder Alan fitz Flaald. Indeed Fox provides two more sources, in addition to Round, that prove the existence of the elder Alan fitz Flaald Dapifer Dolensis:
  
  1. In 1070-1082 Main and his father Tehel made a gift of the church of Cuguen, in the barony of Combourg, to Marmoutiers (Morice, 1742a, p.492). This followed an incident in which Abbot Bartholomew of Marmoutiers had personally, and apparently miraculously, cured Main’s two sons Hamo and Walter of illness on a visit to his priory at Châteaubriant. The gift of Cuguen was made with the consent of Alan son of Flaald, who shared the advowson, and ratified by their lord John of Dol.
  
  2. In 1075-1086 Baderon son of Wihenoc, monk of Monmouth Priory in Wales, was a benefactor of St Georges Rennes, giving the village of Beren and a daughter to the abbey with the assent of his son William and in the presence of Ralph de Fougères, his overlord, witnessed by Alan son of Flaald (Villeneuve, 1875).
  
  Fox's proposed younger Flaald fitz Alan as a son of Alan fitz Flaald founder of Sporle Priory in Norfolk is doubtful for the following reasons: The proposed younger Flaald fitz Alan would have been born after his father's marriage in 1105 to Avelina de Hesdin and would not have existed to be a witness to the dedication of Monmouth Priory in Wales in 1101/2. There is no proof provided by Fox for his assumption of a second wife, however assuming that Alan fitz Flaald did have an earlier marriage with an unknown wife, he would likely have married at the earliest at his majority age 21, after 1097, which would make his proposed son Flaald fitz Alan, born 1098, 3/4 years old...still too young to have attended the dedication of Monmouth Priory in 1101/2.

• Cináed mac Duib was also known as Cináed mac Duib.
• He was also known as Kenneth, III of Scotland.
• Cináed mac Duib (Scottish Gaelic: Coinneach mac Dhuibh; c. 966 – c. 25 March 1005), anglicised as Kenneth III, and nicknamed An Donn, "the Chief" or "the Brown", was King of Scots from 997 to 1005. He was the son of Dub (Dub mac Maíl Coluim). Many of the Scots sources refer to him as Giric son of Kenneth son of Dub, which is taken to be an error. An alternate explanation is that Kenneth had a son, Giric, who ruled jointly with his father.

Dub mac Maíl Coluim

Biography

• Dub mac Maíl Coluim was born about 928.
• He died in 967 in Forres, Moray, Scotland.
• He was buried in 967 in Kinloss, Morayshire, Scotland.

• Dub mac Maíl Coluim was also known as Dubh mac Mhaoil Chaluim.
• He was also known as Dub, King of Scotland.
• He was also known as Duff MacMalcolm.
• Dub mac Maíl Coluim (Modern Gaelic: Dubh mac Mhaoil Chaluim, Scottish Gaelic pronunciation: [ˈt̪uˈmaʰkˈvɯːlˈxaɫ̪ɯm]), sometimes anglicised as Duff MacMalcolm, called Dén, "the Vehement" and, "the Black" (born c. 928 - died 967) was king of Alba. He was son of Malcolm I and succeeded to the throne when Indulf was killed in 962.
  While later chroniclers such as John of Fordun supplied a great deal of information on Dub's life and reign, and Hector Boece in his 'The history and chronicles of Scotland' tell tales of witchcraft and treason, almost all of them are rejected by modern historians. There are very few sources for the reign of Dub, of which the Chronicle of the Kings of Alba and a single entry in the Annals of Ulster are the closest to contemporary.
  The Chronicle records that during Dub's reign bishop Fothach, most likely bishop of St Andrews or of Dunkeld, died. The remaining report is of a battle between Dub and Cuilén, son of king Ildulb. Dub won the battle, fought "upon the ridge of Crup", in which Duchad, abbot of Dunkeld, sometimes supposed to be an ancestor of Crínán of Dunkeld, and Dubdon, the mormaer of Atholl, died.
  The various accounts differ on what happened afterwards. The Chronicle claims that Dub was driven out of the kingdom. The Latin material interpolated in Andrew of Wyntoun's Orygynale Cronykl states that he was murdered at Forres, and links this to an eclipse of the sun which can be dated to 20 July 966. The Annals of Ulster report only: "Dub mac Maíl Coluim, king of Alba, was killed by the Scots themselves"; the usual way of reporting a death in internal strife, and place the death in 967. It has been suggested that Sueno's Stone, near Forres, may be a monument to Dub, erected by his brother Kenneth II (Cináed mac Maíl Coluim). It is presumed that Dub was killed or driven out by Cuilén, who became king after Dub's death, or by his supporters.
  It is related that his body was hidden under the bridge of Kinloss, and the sun did not shine till it was found and buried. An eclipse on 10 July 967 may have originated or confirmed this story.
  Dub left at least one son, Kenneth III (Cináed mac Dub). Although his descendants did not compete successfully for the kingship of Alba after Cináed was killed in 1005, they did hold the mormaerdom of Fife. The MacDuib (or MacDuff) held the mormaerdom, and later earldom, until 1371.

  Máel Coluim was probably born during his father's reign (889–900). By the 940s, he was no longer a young man, and may have become impatient in awaiting the throne. Willingly or not—the 11th-century Prophecy of Berchán, a verse history in the form of a supposed prophecy, states that it was not a voluntary decision that Constantine II abdicated in 943 and entered a monastery, leaving the kingdom to Máel Coluim.
  Seven years later, the Chronicle of the Kings of Alba says:
  [Malcolm I] plundered the English as far as the River Tees, and he seized a multitude of people and many herds of cattle: and the Scots called this the raid of Albidosorum, that is, Nainndisi. But others say that Constantine made this raid, asking of the king, Malcolm, that the kingship should be given to him for a week's time, so that he could visit the English. In fact, it was Malcolm who made the raid, but Constantine incited him, as I have said.
  Woolf suggests that the association of Constantine with the raid is a late addition, one derived from a now-lost saga or poem.
  He died in the shield wall next to his men.[citation needed] Máel Coluim would be the third in his immediate family to die violently, his father Donald II and grandfather Constantine I both having met similar fates 54 years earlier in 900 and 77 years earlier in 877, respectively.
  In 945, Edmund I of England, having expelled Amlaíb Cuarán (Olaf Sihtricsson) from Northumbria, devastated Cumbria and blinded two sons of Domnall mac Eógain, king of Strathclyde. It is said that he then "let" or "commended" Strathclyde to Máel Coluim in return for an alliance. What is to be understood by "let" or "commended" is unclear, but it may well mean that Máel Coluim had been the overlord of Strathclyde and that Edmund recognised this while taking lands in southern Cumbria for himself.
  The Chronicle of the Kings of Alba says that Máel Coluim took an army into Moray "and slew Cellach". Cellach is not named in the surviving genealogies of the rulers of Moray, and his identity is unknown.
  Máel Coluim appears to have kept his agreement with the late English king, which may have been renewed with the new king, Edmund having been murdered in 946 and succeeded by his brother Eadred. Eric Haraldsson took York in 948, before being driven out by Eadred, and when Amlaíb Cuarán again took York in 949–950, Máel Coluim raided Northumbria as far south as the Tees taking "a multitude of people and many herds of cattle" according to the Chronicle.[8] The Annals of Ulster for 952 report a battle between "the men of Alba and the Britons [of Strathclyde] and the English" against the foreigners, i.e., the Northmen or the Norse-Gaels. This battle is not reported by the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, and it is unclear whether it should be related to the expulsion of Amlaíb Cuarán from York or the return of Eric.
  The Annals of Ulster report that Máel Coluim was killed in 954. Other sources place this most probably in the Mearns, either at Fetteresso following the Chronicle, or at Dunnottar following The Prophecy of Berchán. He was buried on Iona.

Causantín mac Cináeda

Biography

• Causantín mac Cináeda was born in 836 in Iona, Argyll, Scotland+.
• He died in 876 at age ~40 in Black Cove, Angus, Scotland.
• He was buried in 877 in Iona, Argyll, Scotland+.

• Causantín mac Cináeda was also known as Constantine, I.
• He was also known as Còiseam mac Choinnich.
• Causantín or Constantín mac Cináeda (in Modern Gaelic: Còiseam mac Choinnich; died 877) was a king of the Picts. He is often known as Constantine I in reference to his place in modern lists of kings of Scots, but contemporary sources described Causantín only as a Pictish king. A son of Cináed mac Ailpín ("Kenneth MacAlpin"), he succeeded his uncle Domnall mac Ailpín as Pictish king following the latter's death on 13 April 862. It is likely that Causantín's reign witnessed increased activity by Vikings, based in Ireland, Northumbria and northern Britain. He died fighting one such invasion.
• He held the title of King of the Picts from 862 to 877 in Scotland.
• He is/was my 33rd great-grandfather
