Marie de Champagne
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Marie of France, or Marie Capet, Countess of Champagne (1145 – March 11, 1198), was the elder daughter of Louis VII of France and his first wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine.

She was an older sister of Alix of France. She was an older paternal half-sister to Marguerite of France, Alys, Countess of the Vexin, Philip II of France and Agnes of France. She was also an older maternal half-sister to William, Count of Poitiers, Henry the Young King, Matilda of England, Richard I of England, Geoffrey II, Duke of Brittany, Leonora of England, Joan of England and John of England.

Her parents' marriage was annulled in 1152, and the custody of Marie and her sister Alix was awarded to their father, King Louis. Their mother Eleanor remarried to King Henry II of England, and so left France. In 1160, when her father King Louis married Adele of Champagne, he betrothed both Marie and Alix to Adele's brothers. After her betrothal, Marie was sent to the abbey of Avenay in Champagne for her education.

In 1164, Marie married Henry I, Count of Champagne. They had four children:

Scholastique of Champagne (died 1219), married William V of Macon
Henry II (1166–1197)
Marie of Champagne (died 1204), married Baldwin I of Constantinople
Theobald (1179–1201)
Marie was left as Regent for Champagne when Henry I left on a pilgrimmage to the Holy Land. While her husband was gone, Marie's father died and her half-brother Philippe became king. He confiscated the dower lands of his mother Adele (also Marie's sister-in-law) and then married Isabelle of Hainaut, who had been previously betrothed to Marie's eldest son. This prompted Marie to join a party of disgruntled nobles -- including Queen Adele and the archbishop of Reims -- in plotting against Philippe. Eventually, relations between Marie and her royal brother improved. Her husband returned from the Holy Land, but died almost immediately. Now a widow with four young children, Marie considered marrying Philip of Flanders, but the engagement was broken off suddenly for unknown reasons.

After Henry I's death in 1181, Marie acted as regent from 1181 to 1187, when her son Henry came of age. However, Henry II left to go on Crusade, and so Marie once again served as regent in his absence from 1190 to Henry's death in 1197. She retired to the nunnery of Fontaines-les-Nones near Meaux, and died there in 1198.

Marie is remembered today mainly for her role in the heresy that was the target of the Albigensian Crusade. She was also a patron of literature, including Andreas Capellanus, who served in her court, and Chrétien de Troyes. She was literate in French and Latin and maintained her own library.

At the time her half brother Geoffrey d.), Marie was present for his f uneral at Notre Dame after 18 August 1186. It is reported that Marie commissioned and was a patron of the pre-eminent 'trouvere' Chretien d e Troyes (a devotee of secular literature particularly troubadour ball ads) who at Maries urging wrote the legends of Lancelot and the Holy G rail. She is also know as the patron of numerous troubadours and trou viers.

{geni:about_me} Marie de France (1145-1198)

Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre.

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_de_France_(1145-1198)

Marie de France, née en 1145, morte le 11 mars 1198, fille de Louis VII le jeune roi de France et d'Aliénor d'Aquitaine.

Après la séparation de ses parents (1152), son père Louis VII épousa Adèle de Champagne en 1160 et promit ses deux filles aux frères de sa nouvelle femme.

Elle épousa donc en 1164 Henri 1er le Libéral (1127 † 1182), comte de Champagne et de Brie, et eut :

#Henri II (1166 † 1197), comte palatin de Champagne, puis roi de Jérusalem

#Marie (1174 † 1204), mariée en 1186 à Baudouin IX de Flandre, comte de Flandre et de Hainaut, puis empereur latin de Constantinople († 1206)

#Thibaut III (1179 † 1201), comte de Champagne

#Scholastique († 1219) mariée à Guillaume IV, comte de Mâcon († 1226)

Elle assuma trois fois la régence du comté de Champagne, au nom de son époux pendant la deuxième croisade puis à celui de son fils aîné pendant sa minorité jusqu'en 1187 et à partir de 1190 lorsqu'il partit combattre en Terre Sainte, épousa la reine de Jérusalem et devint roi de Jérusalem. A la mort d'Henri II en 1197, elle laissa le pouvoir à son second fils Thibaut III et se retira au couvent. Elle mourut l'année suivante. Son tombeau, dans la cathédrale de Meaux, a été détruit au XVIe siècle pendant les guerres de religion.

Elle participa à la cour lettrée d’Aliénor d'Aquitaine à Poitiers (1170-1173) et tint elle-même une cour brillante et protégea ou encouragea plusieurs écrivains, dont Chrétien de Troyes, Gace Brulé, Gautier d'Arras, Guyot de Provins, Huon d'Oisy, Geoffroi de Villehardouin.

Her brothers were Henry II of Champagne and Theobald III, Count of Champagne. Her sister Scholastique of Champagne married William V of Macon. Both sisters are mentioned by name in the chronicle of Alberic of Trois-Fontaines.

[edit] Marriage

According to the chronicle of Gislebert of Mons, Marie was bethrothed to "Theobald", son of the count of Flanders and Hainaut in 1179. Gislebert is presumed to have misrecorded the name of Baldwin. Her betrothed was a son of Baldwin V, Count of Hainaut and Margaret I, Countess of Flanders.

On 6 January, 1186, Marie and Baldwin were married. They had two known children:

Jeanne, Countess of Flanders (1199/1200 - 5 December 1244).

Margaret II, Countess of Flanders (2 June 1202 - 10 February 1280).

[edit] Empress consort

On 14 April 1202 her husband left Flanders to join the Fourth Crusade. This Crusade was diverted to Constantinople, capital of the Byzantine Empire. The crusaders captured and sacked the city. Then they decided to set up a Latin Empire in place of the fallen Greek one. On 9 May, 1204, Baldwin was elected its first emperor. Making Marie an Empress consort.

Marie herself left Flanders to join her husband but decided to visit Outremer first. According to Geoffrey of Villehardouin she could not join him in the crusade before because of being pregnant. Having given birth to Margaret and sufficiently recovered, she set forth to join him. [1]

She set sail from the port of Marseille and landed in Acre. According to A History of the Crusades: Volume 3, The Kingdom of Acre and the Later Crusades (1954) by Steven Runciman, she there received tribute by Bohemond IV of Antioch. In Acre news reached her of the fall of Constantinople and the proclamation of Baldwin as the new emperor. She wanted to set sail for Constantinople but fell sick and died in the Holy Land. [2]

News of her death reached Constantinople through Crusading reinforcements from Syria. Baldwin was reportedly afflicted by the death of his wife. Villehardouin reports that Marie "was a gracious and virtuous lady and greatly honoured". [3]

Marie of France, Countess of Champagne

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marie of France, or Marie Capet, Countess of Champagne (1145 – March 11, 1198), was the elder daughter of Louis VII of France and his first wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine. Her younger sister was Alix of France.

She was an older paternal half-sister to Marguerite of France, Alys, Countess of the Vexin, Philip II of France and Agnes of France. She was also an older maternal half-sister to William IX, Count of Poitiers, Henry the Young King, Matilda, Duchess of Saxony, Richard I of England, Geoffrey II, Duke of Brittany, Leonora of England, Joan of England and John of England.

Her parents' marriage was annulled in 1152, and custody of Marie and her sister, Alix, was awarded to their father, King Louis. Their mother, Eleanor, married King Henry II of England, and so left France. In 1160, when her father, King Louis, married Adele of Champagne, he betrothed Marie and Alix to Adele's brothers. After her betrothal, Marie was sent to the abbey of Avenay in Champagne for her education.

In 1164, Marie married Henry I, Count of Champagne. They had four children:

* Henry II of Champagne (1166–1197)

* Marie of Champagne (died 1204), married Baldwin I of Constantinople

* Theobald III of Champagne (1179–1201)

Marie was left as Regent for Champagne when Henry I went on pilgrimage to the Holy Land. While her husband was away, Marie's father died and her half-brother, Philippe, became king. He confiscated his mother's dower lands and married Isabelle of Hainaut, who was previously betrothed to Marie's eldest son. This prompted Marie to join a party of disgruntled nobles -- including Queen Adele and the archbishop of Reims -- in plotting against Philippe. Eventually, relations between Marie and her royal brother improved. Her husband died soon after his return from the Holy Land. Now a widow with four young children, Marie considered marrying Philip of Flanders, but the engagement was broken off suddenly for unknown reasons.

After Henry I's death in 1181, Marie acted as regent until 1187 when her son, Henry, came of age. However, Henry II also went on Crusade and so Marie was regent from 1190 to Henry's death in 1197. She retired to the nunnery of Fontaines-les-Nones near Meaux, and died there in 1198.

Marie is remembered today mainly for her role in the heresy that was the target of the Albigensian Crusade. She was also a patron of literature, including Andreas Capellanus, who served in her court, and Chrétien de Troyes. She was literate in French and Latin and maintained her own library.

Courtly Love and the arthurian romances:
Extract from Tannahill, Reay: Sex in History. 1980, Hamish Hamilton, London p266-7: “It was, appropriately enough Guilhelm’s [The Troubadour, of Acquitaine] granddaughter, Eleanor of Acquitaine, who helped to establish the ideal of courtly love in northern France when she married Louis VII in 1137, but it did not entirely suit the northern temperament, which preferred good meaty adventure stories to undiluted sentiment. Eleanor and her daughters therefore turned their attention to encouraging a synthesis of the two.
For some centuries, the north had relied for its entertainment on the chansoms de geste (songs of action), which were long assonant poems delivered as a kind of recitative to a simple musical instrument and dealt mainly with the exploits of warriors and heroes, feudal lords, and Christian chevaliers of the time of Charlemagne. In the early twelfth century, the roman (romance) also developed, a tale in rhymed verse designed to be declaimed to a small audience and usually taking for its theme a quest or voyage through a dream world which was the scene of marvellous adventures in love and war. The early romans, reflecting the rediscovery of the Classical World, were historical dramas with such titles as the Romance of Alexander, the Romance of Thebes, and the Romance of Troy, but for political reasons it became desirable to find subjects nearer home. Eleanor, by this time (1170) married to HenryII of Normandy and England, was instrumental in bringing into fashion the Celtic myths of Arthur and his knights of the Round Table, an ‘ideal’ ancient society which lent itself admirably to being gilded with modern dreams and embroidered with the symbols of courtly love. She herself patronized many distinguished troubadors, including Bernart de Ventadorn, while her daughters, notably Marie de Champagne, followed in the family tradition. It was Marie’s chaplain, Andreas, who produced the famous Art of Courtly Love, a treatise that owed something to Ovid as well as to Aquitaine, and it was Marie too, who urged Chretien de Troyes to fuse tales of love with tales of action, to turn love into an adventure, and the knight into a knight-errant. This was the real beginning of the institution of chivalry.”

--------------------
Elle assuma trois fois la régence du comté de Champagne, au nom de son époux pendant la deuxième croisade puis à celui de son fils aîné pendant sa minorité jusqu'en 1187 et à partir de 1190 lorsqu'il partit combattre en Terre Sainte, épousa la reine de Jérusalem et devint roi de Jérusalem. À la mort d'Henri II en 1197, elle laissa le pouvoir à son second fils Thibaut III et se retira au couvent. Elle mourut l'année suivante. Son tombeau, dans la cathédrale de Meaux, a été détruit au XVIe siècle pendant les guerres de religion.

Elle participa à la cour lettrée d’Aliénor d'Aquitaine à Poitiers (1170-1173) et tint elle-même une cour brillante et protégea ou encouragea plusieurs écrivains, dont Chrétien de Troyes, Gace Brulé, Gautier d'Arras, Guyot de Provins, Huon d'Oisy, Geoffroi de Villehardouin.
