She is named "Iveta" by William of Tyre who also records her parentage and that she was born after her father´s accession (only in the Latin text: the version in old French implies that it was Hodierna who was the daughter who was born after their father's accession)[99]. Her sister Queen Mélisende installed her as abbess of the convent of St Lazarus, which she had founded at Bethany in 1143[100]. "Joeta, abbatissa S. Lazari de Bethania" exchanged property by charter dated 1157[101]. Baudouin IV King of Jerusalem confirmed the privileges of "Judithæ filiæ Balduini II abbatissæ S. Lazari de Bethania" by charter dated 31 Dec 1178[102]."

     "Ioveta (c. 1120 - after 1161, before 1178), was a princess of Jerusalem and a Abbess of Bethany. Her name appears in various forms, including Joveta, Jovita, Jowita, Yvette, Iveta, Ivetta, and even Juditta.
Life
     "Ioveta was the fourth and youngest daughter of King Baldwin II and Morphia of Melitene. She was the only one of Baldwin's daughters born after he became king in 1118. When Baldwin was taken captive by the Ortoqids near Edessa in 1123, Ioveta was one of the hostages given for his release. She was held at Shaizar until being ransomed to Baldwin in 1125 for eighty thousand dinars. Her ransom was gathered from the spoils taken after Baldwin's victory at the Battle of Azaz that year.
     "Her sister Melisende, married Fulk V of Anjou and succeeded Baldwin to the throne of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, her sister Alice married Bohemund II of Antioch, and her sister Hodierna married Raymond II of Tripoli. Ioveta, on the other hand, entered the Convent of St. Anne in Jerusalem.
Abbess
     "In 1143 Melisende built a convent dedicated to St. Lazarus at Bethany, on land purchased from the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem. After the death of the elderly first abbess, Ioveta was elected to the position in 1144. Though not as influential as her sisters, she had some power as abbess; a charter from 1157 survives in which she donated land to the Knights Hospitaller.
     "Ioveta was responsible for the education of her grandniece Sibylla. Sibylla was the daughter of her nephew.
     "Ioveta and her sisters were very close. When Melisende lay dying in 1161, Ioveta and Hodierna were at her side (Alice had probably died sometime earlier). After this Ioveta disappears from history; the date of her own death is unknown, but she was dead by 1178, when another abbess appears at the Convent of St. Lazarus.

Comte de Toulouse, Count of Tripolis was also known as Bertrand (?) Comte de Toulouse.^17,9

; Per Genealogics:
     “Bertrand was the son of Raimond VI, comte de Toulouse, by a lady from Provence. He was the first count of Tripolis to rule in Tripolis itself. The name of his first wife is not known and there was no progeny from this marriage. In June 1095 he married Hélie de Bourgogne, daughter of Eudes I, duc de Bourgogne, and Sibylle de Bourgogne. They became the parents of Ponce, Philippe and Agnès, of whom their son Ponce would have progeny.
     “Bertrand had ruled Toulouse since Raimond left on the First Crusade in 1095, although between 1098 and 1100 he was dispossessed by his cousin Philippa Mathilde de Toulouse and her husband Guillaume VII-IX 'le Jeune' de Poitou, duc d'Aquitaine, who marched into Toulouse and captured it, before mortgaging it back to Bertrand in 1100 to fund Guillaume's expedition to the Holy Land. Bertrand officially became count of Toulouse when Raimond died in 1105, and in 1108 he headed to Tripolis to take control there as well. He deposed Raimond's nephew Guillermo Jordán, conde de Cerdaña, as nominal count of Tripolis in 1109, and with Baudouin I, king of Jerusalem, and a fleet of Genoese ships he captured Tripolis on 10 June.
     “Bertrand ruled in Tripolis until his death in January 1112. He was succeeded by his son Ponce in Tripolis and his half-brother Alfonse Jordain in Toulouse - although Toulouse was at that point again lost to Philippa Mathilde and Guillaume.”.¹

     "BERTRAND de Toulouse, son of RAYMOND IV "de Saint-Gilles" Comte de Toulouse & his first wife --- [de Provence] ([1065]-in Palestine 21 Apr 1112). William of Tyre names him as son of Comte Raymond IV[9]. Caffaro names "Beltramo Çauata…bastardus comitis Raymundi comitis sancti Egidii" when recording that he captured Tripoli[10]. He was regent for his father in Toulouse from Oct 1096, when the latter left for Palestine. He succeeded his father in 1105 as BERTRAND Comte de Toulouse. A series of bulls of Pope Pascal II dated between 15 Apr 1105 and 14 May 1108 reveal that "Bertrannus comes" failed to respect his father's abandonment of rights concerning the altar offerings at the monastery of Saint-Gilles, that he was excommunicated, recanted but attacked the monastery again[11]. After the arrival in Toulouse of his step-mother and infant half-brother, Bertrand left for Palestine in Summer 1108, and swore fidelity to Emperor Alexis I Comnenos at Constantinople. Albert of Aix records that "Bertrannus filius comitis Reimundi" arrived in Tortosa in March, dated to 1109 from the context, and demanded the territories formerly held by his father from Guillem Jordan Comte de Cerdanya[12]. At a council of crusader rulers outside Tripoli in Jun 1109, it was decided that Bertrand should receive Jebail, and Tripoli once it was captured, under the suzerainty of Baudouin I King of Jerusalem, while Guillem Jordan retained Tortosa and Arqa. On the death of either, the other would inherit his lands[13]. Bar Hebræus records that Tripoli was captured "par les Francs" in A.H. 503 (1109/10)[14]. Tripoli finally surrendered 12 Jul 1109, and he was installed as BERTRAND Count of Tripoli, under the suzerainty of the king of Jerusalem. Jebail was given to Ugo Embriaco, the Genoese admiral who had helped Bertrand[15]. Comte Bertrand inherited Tortosa and Arqa on the death of Guillem Jordan shortly after[16]. "Bertrandus…comes Raimundi Sancti Egidii filius" donated property for the soul of "Guillelmi Iordanis consanguinei mei" to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem with the consent of "Poncio filio suo", by undated charter[17].
     "m (Jun 1095) as her first husband, HELIE de Bourgogne, daughter of EUDES I Duke of Burgundy & his wife Sibylle de Bourgogne [Comté] ([1080/83]-28 Feb 1141). She is named by Orderic Vitalis, who also records her parentage, her two marriages and the names of her eldest sons by each marriage[18]. The contract of marriage between "Bertrandus Raimundi filius" and "Electæ" is dated Jun 1095[19]. If this document is correctly dated, it is unlikely that Hélie was born much later than [1080/83]. “Bertrannus comes et uxor eius Adelaitz” relinquished claims to “monasterio Sancte Marie quod dicitur Monoasca” in favour of “[abbas] Beati Egidii”, in the presence of "Raimundo comite", by charter dated to "1096 after 12 Jul" in the compilation, signed by "Raimundi comitis, Bertranni et uxoris eius…Petri de Castlar, Ademarii vicecomitis…"[20]. The date does not appear in the document as reproduced, and the basis for the dating is unclear. If the date is correct, Bertrand was already married to Hélie de Bourgogne and "Adelaitz" must be a transcription or other error. If the dating is incorrect, it is possible that Adelais was an earlier wife of Count Bertrand. A bull of Pope Pascal II dated 4 Feb 1107 names "Bertrannus comes" and comments that he had been "propter uxorem abiectam et multiplicata adulteria iamdiu excommunicationi subiectus"[21]. The document gives no more details of these charges, which from the context appear to have been brought some time before the date of the bull, whose main purpose was a threat of further excommunication against Bertrand for having attacked the monastery of Saint-Gilles.

     “Ekbert was the scion of the influential Eastphalian family of the Brunonen. He inherited the familial lands in Brunswick and from about 1051 he shared the chief authority in the region with the bishop of Hildesheim. Ekbert also extended his authority and estates into Friesia under the suzerainty of the archbishop of Hamburg-Bremen.
     “Although closely related to the Salian dynasty, Ekbert participated in the coup d'état of Kaiserswerth in 1062, in which a group of nobles acting under Anno II, archbishop of Cologne, tried to seize authority in the kingdom from King Heinrich IV and his regent mother, the Empress Agnes.

     "Alberto Azzo I d'Este, (?-1029), est un membre de la noblesse italienne de la lignée des Obertenghi, fils d'Oberto II d'Este et actif dans le nord de la péninsule entre 1010 et 1030.
Biographie
     "Alberto Azzo apparaît pour la première fois dans les chroniques en 1011. Il est le fils d'Oberto II1 membre de la lignée des Obertenghi2, et de Railenda, veuve de Sigifredo, peut-être comte du Seprio.
     "Le 10 mai 1013, il est fait Missus dominicus en Italie.
     "En 1014, Alberto Azzo hérite des comtés de Luni, de Tortone, de Gênes et de Milan, sans doute en partage avec son frère Ugo et peut-être avec d'autres Obertenghi appartenant à la branche adalbertine[Quoi ?].
     "Albero Azzo est également lié aux plus grandes familles féodales d'Italie par son mariage — Adélaïde, issue de la dynastie franconienne — et par ceux de ses sœurs (Berthe, épouse du marquis Arduin d’Ivrée, Jezabelis, épouse du conte de Vercelli Uberto il Rufo).
     "Au début du siècle, les Obertenghi se trouvent avoir perdu une partie de leur pouvoir comtal au profit des ecclésiastiques, notamment à Tortone et à Luni, où ils ont également été spolié de certains domaines, avec l'approbation d'abord des rois d'Italie, puis de la dynastie ottonienne. C'est pourquoi Alberto Azzo et les siens soutiennent Arduin d’Ivrée quand celui-ci est couronné roi d'Italie (15 février 1002) à la mort d'Othon III. Quand l'empereur Henri II, successeur de ce dernier, vient soumettre celui qu'il considère comme un usurpateur, les Obertenghi lui font leur soumission. C'est le moment où, pour s'assurer de leur loyauté, Henri II, devenu roi d'Italie, leur confie des responsabilités juridictionnelles sur le territoire de Monseilice, dans la région de Padoue, où les générations suivantes feront souche (à Este, précisément). Ils en profitent pour acquérir de nombreux biens.
     "En mai 1014, après le départ de celui qui vient de se faire couronner empereur à Rome, ils soutiennent la dernière tentative d'Arduin pour reprendre la couronne d'Italie. Les Obertenghi sont alors déchus par l'Empereur, à l'exception de la branche adalbertine, restée loyale, ce qui sera à l'origine de la division des biens entre les descendants d'Oberto I.
     "En 1019, Alberto Azzo apparaît réconcilié avec l'Empereur, mais en 1019, on le voit à nouveau engagé contre son successeur Conrad II le Salique, descendu en Italie pour écraser une nouvelle rébellion, menée par le marquis Oldéric-Manfred II d'Oriate.
     "C'est le moment où on perd la trace d'Alberto Azzo. Il semble qu'il n'ait eu qu'un fils, Alberto Azzo II. Ce sera lui qui transfèrera une partie des intérêts de la famille dans les environs d'Este, qui donnera le nom à la dynastie familiale3.

     "Albert Atto I (Italian: Alberto Azzo or Adalberto Azzo) (c. 970 – died before 1018[1] or in 1029[2]) was an Italian nobleman. He was a member of the Obertenghi (or Adalbertini) family. From 1014 onward, he was margrave of Milan and count of Luni, Genoa and Tortona.[3]
Life
     "Albert was the son of Oberto II, count palatine of Milan, and Railenda, daughter of Count Riprand, and widow of Sigfred, Count of Seprio.
     "Albert is attested in documents between 1011 and 1026.[4] On 10 May 1013, he was acting as a missus in Italy.[5] Also in May 1013 Albert is documented with iudiciaria (the right of justice) in Monselice. In 1014, he inherited the counties of Luni, Tortona, Genoa, and Milan on the death of his father, Otbert II, Margrave of Milan.[6] His holdings were extensive and both feudal and allodial. Albert and his brothers Hugh, Adalbert (IV), and Obizzo all carried the title margrave. Their sister Bertha married Arduin of Italy to ally the Anscarid and Obertenga families. Another sister named Bertha married Ulric Manfred II of Turin. Albert himself married Adela of Milan, a Salian and relative of Lanfranc, Count of Piacenza and Aucia.
     "At first, Albert and his brothers supported their brother-in-law Arduin against the Emperor Henry II in the war for the Italian throne. In 1014, he did not oppose Henry's imperial coronation, but after Henry left in May, he sought to aid Arduin.[7] Albert was named as one of Henry II's opponents in an imperial diploma issued in July 1014 at Solingen.[8] The diploma indicates that Albert was among those who supported Arduin, and who had assaulted Pavia, Vercelli, and Novara. In 1019, he reconciled with Henry, but in 1022, all four brothers were captured by Henry's forces and Albert submitted. In Spring 1026, Albert joined Ulric Manfred in defending Pavia from Conrad II.[9]
Marriage and children
     "With his wife, Adela of Milan (d. after 1012), Albert had two children:

He also possessed the title of "marchese d'Italia" (Italian Marquise), and ruled over the marquisate of Milan[2] which included most of modern-day Lombardy and half of modern-day Ligury. He was the first born son of Guido di Toscana[3], Count and Duke of Lucca, and at a later time Marquise of Tuscany from 915 to 929. He was also the ancestor to the British royal family.
     "Adalberto is considered to be the forefather of the Obertenghi family, and the junior branch the Miagro family of Liguria also called Miagro dei Oberthenghi, one of the most influential noble families of the Italian middle ages that shared very close ties to the families of Pallavicini and Malaspina. Either this page is incorrect or the link to Guido di Toscana is incorrect. The Guido reference clearly states "None of his children survived him and when he died in 928 or 929" yet Adalberto was elevated to the nobiliary title of "Visconte" in 940. [4]
Offspring
