Family of Margaret de Bohun (married Hugh de Courtenay)

For the following entry I'm going to begin with her mother, Elizabeth Plantagenet's side because I was able to find more information on them than her father, Humphrey De Bohun's.

I'm going to begin 300 years prior to her birth on her father's side.  If you have trouble following please feel free to ask me.  I also plan on drawing up a diagram when I finish her family line to make it easier to follow.

Rotrou, Seigneur de Nogent was born sometime in the late 900's.  I haven't been able to find anything on a spouse or lover, but I did discover that he did have a son named Fulcuich.

Fulcuich (Fulcois) was born, the son of Rotrou. He had two sons with Melsende, Viscountess of Chateaudun. He died before1032.

Hugues du Perche was born, the son of Melsende and Fulcuich. He had two sons with Beatrice de Macon.  Hugues was a 10th century French noble.

Geoffrey II was born, the son of Beatrice and Hugues. He had a son with Ermengarde in 1043. He died in 1043.  Geoffrey was the Count of Gatinais. 

Fulk IV was born on April 30, 1043, in Anjou, Isère, France, the son of Ermengarde and Geoffrey. He married Bertrade de Montlfort in 1089 in his hometown. He died on April 14, 1109, in his hometown at the age of 65, and was buried in Maine-et-Loire, France.

Fulk IV (Foulques IV, le Rechin) was the Count of Anjou from 1068 until his death.  His mother, Emergarde, was the sister of Geoffrey Martel who and been his predecessor as the Count of Anjou.  When he passed away he didn't have any direct heirs so it then fell to his nephew, Geoffrey III, Fulk's older brother.  The brother's fought over which one of them truly deserved to be the Count of Anjou.  Fulk eventually captured his brother in 1067. 

The Church urged Fulk to release Geoffrey III, which he did.  Shortly after the brothers began to fight again.  The following year, Fulk captured his brother again, this time for good. 

An interesting fact that I found was that Fulk IV may have been married as many as five times.  The wife that we will be following in this branch of the family tree, Bertrade de Montlfort,  was his final wife.  Supposedly she was "abducted" by King Philip I of France in or around 1092.  She would later marry Philip and become his Queen Consort.

My next post will start with their son, Fulk V, King of Jerusalem.
