{geni:about_me} ITHIER de Rethel, son of EUDES de Vitry Châtelain de Vitry, Comte de Rethel & his wife Mathilde Ctss de Rethel (-1171). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "castellanum Guitherum" as son of "Odoni castellano Vitriaci" & his wife Mathilde, specifying that he succeeded his mother as Comte de Rethel[1206]. The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names "comitis Witeri de Retest" as son of "castellanam de Victereio [filiam Hugonem comitem de Retest]"[1207]. "…Guitterius sororius regis…" subscribed the charter dated Mar 1128 under which "Balduinus…rex Iherusalem Latinorum secundus" granted privileges to the church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem[1208], although "sororius" is presumably an error for "nepos". Comte de Rethel. Châtelain de Vitry. "H comes Regitestensis et M uxor mea…et filii sui M…B et G" donated property to "Silve Majoris", confirmed by "Alexander episcopus" by charter dated 22 Jun, dated to 1168 or 1169[1209]. This charter is difficult to explain satisfactorily. Assuming that the year is correct (not specified in the charter, presumably dated to the bishop), "H" should have been "I" Comte de Rethel. However, if that is correct, "M uxor mea" should have been "B". The names of the first two sons could have been Manassès and Baudouin, consistent with the donor being Ithier, but no other primary source has been identified which names a third son "G".
m BEATRIX de Namur, daughter of GODEFROI I Comte de Namur & his second wife Ermesinde de Luxembourg ([1115/16]-1160). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "unam filiarum supradicti comitis Namurensis [=comitis Godefridi] Beatricem" as wife of "castellanum Guitherum…Vitriaci", and in a later passage naming (in order) "ducissa Cyringie…Beatrix…Alidis…" as the three daughters of "comes Godefridus de Namuco" & his second wife, clarifying that Beatrix married "comiti Guithero Reytestensi"[1210]. The Chronicon Hanoniense refers to the three daughters of "Godefridus comes Namurcensi" & his second wife as "ducissam…Ciringiorum et comitissam de Retest et…Alidem comitissam Hanoniensem"[1211].
