Notes about Billihild (Bilelde) de St. Sauveur

The following is excerpted from a post to SGM, 8 Jul 1998, by Paul Reed:

I finally got my paws on Rev. Statham's "The Descent of the family ofStatham" (London, 1925). I will be studying it in detail over then nextfew days to see what exactly is documented and what is assumption. Heweaves an awfully lot together, which makes me suspicious. This is why Ihaven't published the stuff on the FitzNeels yet.

Statham provides an account of the family of Saint-Sauveur, in theCotentin. He shows that a daughter of Richard I, Duke of Normandy,married Roger I de St. Sauveur ("ob. c. 1014). They were parents ofNigel II (ob. s. 1041) who married Gohilda "f. Raymond Bore." Their sonNigel III ("banished 1047, ob. a monk 1092") is stated to have married asister of William the Conqueror, being daughter of Robert I by "Arlotta."They are given two children, a daughter who married William de Vernon,and a son, Nigel IV ("Ob. c. 1072-3") who is given as marrying Adela,daughter of Wililam de Vernon. Statham gives them a large family:

i. Nigel V ("v. 1073 o. s. p.")
ii. Eudo (v. 1100) who married Rohais and was father of Nigel VI andRoger II
iii. William (a)
iv. William (b)
v. Girard
vi. Roger
vii. Richard
viii. Emma
ix. Bilelde
x. Maheldis

Statham states in his text:
"(8) Bilelde appears to have married Baldric de Lindsey, a tenant of theChester fee in Lincoln. He also held under Earl Hugh at Cocle inCheshire (D. B.). He is probably the Baudri de Lindessi who gave thetithe of his Lincolnshire estates to S. Evroul (C. F. D. 636) [WilliamFarrer also concludes this in his Honours and Knights' Fees] and noneother than the Baldric de Bauquency mentioned by Orderic Vitalis. Hemust also have been one Robert fitz Hugh's knights, for his wife Bileldegranted Peckforton to S. Werburgh in 1093 (D[ugdale's] M[on.] 1. 201).(7) (9) Emma, Mahildis. Nothing has been discovered in connection witheither of these daughters."

-----middle portion of Paul Reed's posting omitted------

Dr. Katherine S. B. Keats-Rohan, in her "Poppa of Bayeux and her family,"TAG july/October 1997, 72:187-204, verifies that Nigel [whom she numbersNigel II] married Adela ("sister of Richard, William and Baldwin I ofReviers and a relative of William of Vernon") and had two sons namedWilliam and three daughters, Emma, Bilelda (Bilihildis) and Matilda. Shesuggests that Nigel's father, Nigel I de St. Sauveur, married a daughterof Robert, count of Avranches, and his wife Bilihild of Maine.

It will be interesting to see how this turns out.

P. S. For those interested, Dr. Keats-Rohan told me she hopes the COELdata base will be available in November, but is under contractualobligation not to release any information until then.
