     Theodegotha (?) married Alaric II (?) King of the Visigoths.¹

      ; The other Theodegotha is, however, very much a real person.

      ; Per Wikipedia (Fr.):
     "Rudalt de Vannes (xe siècle), fils d'Alain Ier, roi de Bretagne, comte de Vannes et de Nantes, fut comte de Vannes vers 907-915/920. Il est le dernier comte connu de Vannes avant les invasions vikings et le rattachement du comté au domaine ducal sous Conan Ier.
Biographie
Origine
     "Rudalt est l’un des deux fils survivant du roi Alain Ier de Bretagne. Son nom germanique « Rudalt » est une variante du nom « Hrodolt-Frouald » porté un siècle plus tôt par un comte de Vannes, frère et associé du Marquis Guy de Nantes de la famille des Widonides. Cette dernière devait vraisemblablement avoir un lien lignagé, sans doute en ligne féminine, avec celle d’Alain le Grand originaire de la même région1.
     "Vers 907 après la mort du roi de Bretagne la plus grande confusion semble avoir régné dans sa succession. Sans doute faute d’un accord entre ses fils Rudalt et Derrien et ses gendres Mathuedoï de Poher et le comte Tanki, la souveraineté de la Bretagne leur échappa avant d’être assurée par un nommé Gourmaëlon qui était comte de Cornouaille.
     "Rudalt doit se contenter du comté de Vannes où il règne « post mortem patri sui2». Il quitte probablement la Bretagne, où il est encore mentionné dans une notice du cartulaire de Redon du 30 novembre 912, comme la plus grande partie de l'aristocratie vraisemblablement vers 915-920 lors de l’invasion viking et il semble ne jamais y être revenu. Avec lui disparaît le titre de comte de Vannes3
Postérité
     "La postérité de Rudalt demeure hypothétique toutefois sur la base de l’onomastique Noël-Yves Tonnerre considère qu’il est vraisemblable que Rudalt soit :
** le père ou le grand-père d'Orscand de Vannes évêques de Vannes mort vers 992 dont le fils est également nommé Rudalt.
** l’ancêtre du lignage de Rieux où l’on enregistre encore l’alternance régulière des noms Alain et Rudalt au xie siècle4.

; According to The Henry Project: "Rudalt, count [apparently of Vannes], 909×913.
     "Rudalt appears as as a count "post mortem patri sui" on a charter of 30 November 909 [Cart. Redon 225; Borderie (1897-8), 438], and as princeps in a charter of 15 March 913 [Cart. Redon 222]. Although Rudalt is not explicitly called a son of Alain, the latter is the obvious candidate for the unnamed father mentioned in the 909 charter, and the charter quoted in the Chronicle of Nantes, which he signed first, immediately before the following three known sons of Alain, suggests that he was Alain's eldest son by Orgain. For the attempt of Guillotel to identify Rudalt with Derian below, see the Commentary section below on count Tangui."² Rudalt de Vannes Comte de Vannes was living between 909 and 913.²

     "RICHARD, son of RICHARD I "Sans-Peur" Comte [de Normandie] & his second wife Gunnora --- (-23 Aug 1026, bur Fécamp). Ademar names Richard as son of "Richardus Rotomagensis"[160]. Guillaume of Jumièges names “Richardum...et Robertum atque Malgerium aliosque duos” as the sons of Richard and his wife “Gunnor ex nobilissima Danorum prosapia ortam”[161]. Robert of Torigny names "Ricardum…qui ei successit et Robertum postea archiepiscopum Rothomagensium et Malgerium comitem Curbuliensem, aliosque duos" as the sons of "Ricardi primi ducis Normanniæ" and Gunnora[162]. He succeeded his father in 996 as RICHARD II "le Bon/l'Irascible" Comte de Normandie. Orderic Vitalis records the death in 996 of "Ricardo seniore" and the succession of “Ricardus Gunnorides filius eius” who held “ducatum Normanniæ” for 30 years[163]. An agreement between the abbots of Jumièges and Bougeuil concerning an exchange of land in Poitou, by charter dated [13 Apr/4 Apr] 1012, is subscribed by "Richardus…filius Ricardi principi magni, filius eius Richardus et…mater Richardi comitis Gunnor, uxor comitis Richardi…"[164]. Duke of Normandy [1015]. “Ricardus princeps et dux Normannorum, filius Ricardi seniroris” donated “villam...Fontes in Braio...Brendelcurt cum ecclesia...æcclesiam de Nouobosco, æcclesiam de Bosmesnil...” to Saint-Wandrille, at the request of “Yvonis...militis”, by charter dated to [1024], subscribed by “Riccardi principis Normannorum, Papie comitisse, Roberti archipresulis fratris eiusdem principis, Yvonis militis...Hugonis Baiocensis episcopi, Girardi Flagitelli...”[165]. He intervened on behalf of his son-in-law Renaud Comte Palatin de Bourgogne, who had been imprisoned by Hugues de Chalon, by sending troops to devastate Chalon in 1026 and procure his release. According to Adam of Bremen, after repudiating his betrothal to the sister of Knud King of Denmark, Duke Richard left for Jerusalem to escape the Danish king's wrath and died there[166], but this is inconsistent with the duke's third marriage. "Secundus nominis mei Normannorum dux Ricardus" confirmed donations to Fécamp abbey, for the soul of "conjugis mee…Judith", by charter dated 1027 (misdated), signed by "Ricardi filii Gulberti, Nigelli vicecomitis…Storstingi vicecomitis"[167]. The necrology of Saint-Père-en-Vallée records the death "X Kal Sep" of "Ricardus comes"[168]. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés records the death "X Kal Sep" of "[Ricar]dus Normannorum secundus"[169]. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Denis records the death "X Kal Sep" of "Ricardus Rothomagensium comes"[170]. The necrology of Verdun Saint-Vanne records the death "X Kal Sep" of "Richardus comes"[171], although the connection between Duke Richard and Verdun has not been established. The Brevis Relatio de Origine Willelmi Conquestoris records that "Ricardus…filius Willelmi et alius Ricardus" were buried "Fiscanni"[172].
     "m firstly (Mont Saint-Michel [1000]) JUDITH de Bretagne, daughter of CONAN I "le Tort" Duke of Brittany & his wife Ermengarde d'Anjou ([982]-16 Jun 1017). Guillaume of Jumièges records the marriage of “dux Richardus” and “Goiffredum Britannorum comitem...sororem...Iudith” at “limina Archangeli Michaelis”[173]. Orderic Vitalis records that “Ricardus Gunnorides...et Judith uxor eius soror Gaufredi Britonum comitis” founded “cœnobium apud Bernaïcum in honore sanctæ Dei genitricis Mariæ”[174]. An agreement between the abbots of Jumièges and Bougeuil concerning an exchange of land in Poitou, by charter dated [13 Apr/4 Apr] 1012, is subscribed by "Richardus…filius Ricardi principi magni…Judith…"[175]. The Chronicle of Caen Saint-Etienne records the death in 1017 of "Judita comitissa"[176].
     "Betrothed (after 1017) to ESTRID [Margrete] Svendsdatter, daughter of SVEND I "Tveskæg/Forkbeard" King of Denmark & his second wife Sigrid “Storråda/the Haughty” (-9 May ----, bur Roskilde Cathedral). Adam of Bremen records that "Chnud…rex Danorum" gave "suam…germanam Margaretam pro foedere" to "comitis Nortmannorum Rikardi" and after, she was repudiated by Richard, to "Wolf duci Angliæ"[177]. Saxo Grammaticus also records her betrothal[178]. The Chronicon Roskildense records that "Kanutus" gave "sororem…Estrith" to "Richardo", who repudiated her, after which she married "duci Ulf" without her brother´s consent[179]. She later married Ulf Thrugilson Jarl [Wulfsige Sprakeling].
     "m secondly PAPIA [Poppa], daughter of --- (-after 1047). Guillaume of Jumièges records that Duke Richard II married secondly after the death of his first wife “Papiam” by whom he had “Malgerium...archipræsulem et Willelmum Archacensem”[180]. She is named "Poppa", Duke Richard's second wife, by Orderic Vitalis[181]. The names of two of Papia’s brothers are found in the following two sources, but no other indication of her family origin. The Chronicon Fontanellense names “Papia” as second wife of Duke Richard, adding that “cuius fratres Ansfredus et Osbernus” were monks at Fontanelle[182]. “Osbernus et Anfredus fratres, tempore Ricardi secundi comitis, qui eorum sororem Papiam in coniugio habebat” donated “alodum...in monasterio Odelerii cum capella S. Desiderii” to Saint-Wandrille by charter dated to [1024][183]. “Ricardus princeps et dux Normannorum, filius Ricardi senioris” donated “villam...Fontes in Braio...Brendelcurt cum ecclesia...æcclesiam de Nouobosco, æcclesiam de Bosmesnil...” to Saint-Wandrille, at the request of “Yvonis...militis”, by charter dated to [1024], subscribed by “Riccardi principis Normannorum, Papie comitisse, Roberti archipresulis fratris eiusdem principis, Yvonis militis...Hugonis Baiocensis episcopi, Girardi Flagitelli...”[184]. "Duke Richard [II]" donated property to the abbey of Mont Saint-Michel by charter dated to [1024/26], subscribed by "…Papie uxoris comitis"[185]. "Guillelmus Archensis comes et frater meus Malgerius Archiepiscopus" donated the vill of Periers sur Andelle to the monastery of Saint-Ouen at Rouen, at the request of "matris mee Paveie" and the consent of "Guilielmo Normannorum comite", by charter dated to [1047/50][186].

Biography
     "Sir Thomas de la Barre’s family were originally citizens of Hereford, but by the time of his birth they had long since risen to gentility, and his father (another Thomas) served at one time or another as sheriff, escheator, j.p., tax collector and (in 1355) knight of the shire for Herefordshire. His mother, Hawise, was the second sister of Sir Richard Pembridge, whose only son Henry died childless in 1375, whereupon the Pembridge lands passed to the sons of Hawise and her sister Amy Burley. Thus, in 1376, the estates were divided between our Sir Thomas (whose elder brothers were by now dead) and his cousin Sir Richard Burley. Sir Thomas’s share included the manors of Ayot St. Lawrence (Hertfordshire), Mathern (Monmouthshire), and Clehonger and Mere Court with other manors in Herefordshire, as well as the manor of Burgate and the hundred of Fordingbridge (Hampshire); by November 1378, however, he had granted the Hampshire lands to Burley in exchange for more estates in Herefordshire.2
     "By 1381 de la Barre had further added to his lands by his marriage to Elizabeth, widow of Sir Ralph Camoys and Sir Edward Kendale, whose dower included the manor of Hitchin and other property in Hertfordshire, the manors of Wrestlingworth, Bedfordshire, and Shalden, Hampshire, and property in Norfolk. On his father’s death in June 1388, furthermore, Sir Thomas inherited the family estates in and around Hereford, including the manor of Rotherwas and lands at Tarrington, Holmer, Cobhall (in Allensmore), Little Marcle and Lyde, and he subsequently also acquired the manors of Lower Bullingham and Hillhampton, in the same region. He was, in short, a substantial landowner both in Herefordshire (where his estates at his death were valued at £46 a year) and in the south east Midlands (where, in 1412, his Hertfordshire lands were worth an annual £40 and those in Bedfordshire £18 p.a.)3
     "Perhaps due to the influence of his uncle, Sir Richard Pembridge, who was Edward III’s under chamberlain in 1371, Sir Thomas apparently began his career in the royal household, although he did see military service overseas in the retinue of Humphrey, earl of Hereford. He was knighted by 1373 and on 4 Jan. 1377 he was granted a life annuity of 40 marks. Three weeks later he received a royal pardon for his part in the death of one William Collyng. He was an intimate enough member of the Court to be called upon to give evidence at the trial before Parliament of Edward III’s mistress, Alice Perrers, which took place in December 1377, six months after Edward’s death. On that occasion he was called ‘of the Household’, and he appears to have become a favoured retainer of Richard II, who in May 1384 appointed him surveyor of the King’s hay at Hereford and, in the following November, confirmed his earlier annuity, transferring the charge of it from the Exchequer to the issues of Herefordshire. In the summer of 1385 he served on the royal expedition to Scotland, and in September (when he was granted a livery of mourning for Richard’s mother, Princess Joan) he was called a King’s knight.4 Nothing is known of his Household service between 1385 and 1394; and indeed he appears to have been much occupied in Herefordshire during that period, serving as sheriff, escheator, justice and royal commissioner.
     "In August 1394 Sir Thomas took out royal letters of protection to accompany Richard II’s expedition to Ireland, obtaining their renewal after a period of six months. He served throughout the campaign with a small retinue of two men-at-arms and three archers, receiving wages of war from 7 Sept. 1394 until 21 Apr. following. In February 1396 he was retained to stay with Richard II for life, being then accorded a further annuity of 40 marks. On 28 May 1397 this was confirmed as additional to his pension of 20 years earlier, and on the same day he was granted an annual gift of three tuns of red wine for life.5
     "Despite his closeness to Richard II, de la Barre apparently had no difficulty in adjusting to the government of Henry IV, who confirmed his annuities as early as 7 Nov. 1399, and in whose service he continued as a household knight. During the previous reign his local administrative activities had centred on Herefordshire, but from now on he appears to have divided his time between that county and his estates in Hertfordshire. In 1401 he was first returned to Parliament for Hertfordshire and shortly afterwards was appointed a j.p. there, having been dropped from the Herefordshire commission in 1399. However, he still remained active in the marches: in August 1402 he was ordered to supervise the Herefordshire levies and to lead them to the county town to join Henry IV’s expedition against Owen Glendower. Shortly afterwards he again represented Herefordshire in Parliament. What private links Sir Thomas had with other gentry of the area is not clear, for he did not often appear as a witness or surety, though in 1404 he was a mainpernor for (Sir) Leonard Hakluyt* (when the latter had a royal lease of lands in Herefordshire) and in 1405 he acted in the same capacity for Thomas Walwyn II* (who was then bound over not to assault Lady Despenser’s servants).6
     "In 1404 de la Barre was granted exemption from being appointed to any royal office against his will. The formal reason given was his ‘great age’ (he was then about 55), but this did not prevent him from serving on several further royal commissions, from acting as sheriff of Essex and Hertfordshire in 1415-16, or from being returned to at least three other Parliaments. By about 1405, however, he had apparently ceased to be, even nominally, a household knight. All the same, his grants and annuities were again confirmed by Henry V. In September 1416 the dean and chapter of Hereford appointed him steward of four of their local manors.7
     "In October 1419, when de la Barre was once again serving on the Herefordshire bench, his son, Sir Thomas junior, appeared before him, charged with a series of crimes (including robbery, armed abduction, house-breaking and sheep stealing) committed in the county between 1414 and 1418, and was eventually sent for trial before the royal courts at Westminster. This embarrassing affair must have involved the elder de la Barre in his last public duties, for he died on 18 Dec. following.8
     "By an inquisition post mortem held on 24 Sept. 1420 it was established that his heir was his infant grandson, John†, the son of Sir Thomas de la Barre junior (who had died between July and September that year) and his wife Alice, sister of John Talbot, Lord Furnival, subsequently earl of Shrewsbury. Sir Thomas the elder’s widow also died in 1420, whereupon custody of all his lands, together with the marriage of the heir was granted to Lord Furnival and his sister.9

Little is known about Thomas junior's earlier life, but by 1410 he had married Alice Talbot, and as a retainer of her brother, Lord Furnival, accompanied him to Ireland in 1414, when he was sent there as King's lieutenant. That it was Sir Thomas the elder, and not his son, who sat in the Parliament of 1416 (Mar.), is certain, for the son was probably then in Ireland, nor was he yet a knight. In 1419 Sir Thomas junior had letters of protection to join the King's retinue in France, but claimed to have been prevented from leaving home because of a false indictment by John Abrahall*. A.J.
