He left France in Aug 1096 as head of the contingent of his brother Philippe I King of France which left on the First Crusade[1370]. He returned to France after the capture of Antioch in 1098 to raise another army which he led as part of the second wave of the First Crusade, leaving France in Mar 1101.

Her husband left her as regent in Vermandois when he left on crusade. She married secondly (1103) as his first wife, Renaud de Clermont. In 1117, Louis VI "le Gros" King of France restored to her the county of Amiens which had been usurped by Thomas de Marle[1380].

On the family Agnes shared with her husband Bonifacio di Saluzzo, Marchese del Vasto:

http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/MONFERRATO,%20SALUZZO,%20SAVONA.htm...

BONIFAZIO, son of ODDONE Marchese della Liguria Occidentale & his wife Berta di Susa ([1060]-[1127/35]).

"Berta comitissa filia quondam Maginfredi et item Maginfredus et Anselmus, Bonifacius, Oto clericus germani et filii quondam Toto itemque marchionis, mater et filii" donated property to the monastery of San Silo near Genoa by charter dated 31 Aug 1064[418]. "Berta comitissa et Manfredus, Bonifacius et Anselmus marchioness et Henricus et Oto germani, mater et filii" donated property to the church of Santa Maria "de episcopatu Astensi" by charter dated 22 Apr 1065[419].

Marchese del Vasto. "Bonifacius marchio filius quondam Othonis" donated property to the church of Acqui by charter dated 22 Jul 1090 "in castro de Ceva"[420]. "Bonifacius marchio filius quondam Teutonis…marchio et Henrico nepos suus" donated property to the canons of the church "in valle Burmia in loco…Ferranica" by charter dated 1097[421]. "Bonifacius marchio filius Teutonis…marchio…cum Alice cometissa filia qd. d. Petri marchio atque Theotone, Petro, Magnifredo, Hugone et Willielmo filiis eorum" donated property to "monasterio sancti Petri…in…villa Saviliani" by charter dated 21 Dec 1099[422]. "Bonifacius marchio cum filiis suis Manfredo atque Ugone" donated property to "ecclesie S. Donati de Monte" by charter dated 1121[423].

"Bonifacius marchio" appointed "filiis suos Maginfredum et Wilielmum adque Ugonem necnon Anselmum…et Anricum et Bonefacium minorem atque Odonem" as his heirs and provided dowries for "filiabus…Sibilie et Adalaxia et alie filie si ex hac uxore nata fuit", but disinherited "Bonifacium…incixie nominatum", by charter dated 1125[424]. "Bonifatius marchio…Agnes comitissa uxor ipsius marchionis…filii eius Mainfredus et Ugo" donated "domum sancti Laurentii" to Lérins by charter dated 1127[425].

[m firstly ALIX de Savoie, daughter of PIERRE I Comte de Savoie & his wife Agnès de Poitou.

"Bonifacius marchio filius Teutonis…marchio…cum Alice cometissa filia qd. d. Petri marchio atque Theotone, Petro, Magnifredo, Hugone et Willielmo filiis eorum" donated property to "monasterio sancti Petri…in…villa Saviliani" by charter dated 21 Dec 1099[426].

Szabolcs de Vajay dismisses this individual as an imaginary person designed to explain the claims of Marchese Bonifazio to Turin, which he in fact inherited through his mother who was the younger sister of Adelaida di Susa, mother of Comte Pierre[427]. It is unsure whether he was aware of the charter quoted above when he made this suggestion. Even if the charter in question was a forgery, it is uncertain what purpose would have been served by fabricating the ancestry of Marchese Bonifazio´s wife.

It should be noted that Bonifazio´s [second] wife Agnes de Vermandois was considerably younger than her husband. An earlier marriage would be likely.]

m [secondly] AGNES de Vermandois, daughter of HUGUES de France "le Maisné" Comte de Vermandois et de Valois [Capet] & his wife Adelais Ctss de Vermandois [Carolingian] ([1085]-after 1125).

Marchese Bonifazio & his [first wife] had five children:

1. OTTONE (-[21 Dec 1099/1121]).

2. PIETRO (-[21 Dec 1099/1121]).

3. MANFREDO (-[4 Jun 1175/Mar 1176], bur Staffarda). Marchese di Saluzzo.

4. UGO (-after 6 Apr 1161). Marchese di Clavesana.

5. GUGLIELMO (-after 1160). Marchese di Busca. Signori di Rossano 1155.

Marchese Bonifazio & his [first/second] wife had two children:

6. ANSELMO (-after 1140).

"Bonifacius marchio" appointed "filiis suos Maginfredum et Wilielmum adque Ugonem necnon Anselmum…et Anricum et Bonefacium minorem atque Odonem" as his heirs but disinherited "Bonifacium…incixie nominatum" by charter dated 1125[445]. That he may have been born from the first marriage of his father is suggested by the charter dated 1196 under which his son "Bonifacius marchio de Cravexana" confirmed a donation to the monastery of San Stefano by "comitissa Adalasia avia mea"[446]. However, this charter could also refer to Bonifazio´s maternal grandmother, mother of Anselmo´s wife who is not otherwise known.

Marchese di Ceva: a charter dated 22 Dec 1142 records the division of territories agreed between "Marchiones de Vasto…Mainfredum, Willielmum, Hugonem, Anselmum, Heinricum, Bonifacium et Oddonem filios quondam Bonifacii marchionis", under which Anselmo took "marchionatus Ceve"[447].

7. BONIFAZIO (-[before 1138]).

It is not clear whether Bonifazio was born from one of his father´s marriages or was illegitimate.

"Bonifacius marchio" appointed "filiis suos Maginfredum et Wilielmum adque Ugonem necnon Anselmum…et Anricum et Bonefacium minorem atque Odonem" as his heirs but disinherited "Bonifacium…incixie nominatum" by charter dated 1125[448]. This document shows that Marchese Bonifazio had two sons named Bonifazio. Documents pertaining to the divorce of Bernard [IV] Comte de Comminges and Marie de Montpellier include testimony on the couple´s consanguinity, in particular "dominam Clemenciam amitam regine" (Clémence de Montpellier, sister of Guillaume [VIII]%29 declared that "Bonifatius marchio habuit tres infantes…Bonefacium et Guillelmum marchionem et Sibiliam. De Bonifatio exivit domina Maria uxor domini Bernardo de Andusia…"[449]. Marchese di Cortemiglia [Curtimio]: a charter dated 22 Dec 1142 records the division of territories agreed between "Marchiones de Vasto…Mainfredum, Willielmum, Hugonem, Anselmum, Heinricum, Bonifacium et Oddonem filios quondam Bonifacii marchionis", under which Bonifazio took "marchionatus de Curtimio"[450].

m ---. The name of Bonifazio´s wife is not known.

Bonifazio & his wife had [two] children.

Marchese Bonifazio & his [second] wife had five children:

8. ENRICO [I] "il Guercio" (Clavesana [1115]-Finale 1184).

"Bonifacius marchio" appointed "filiis suos Maginfredum et Wilielmum adque Ugonem necnon Anselmum…et Anricum et Bonefacium minorem atque Odonem" as his heirs but disinherited "Bonifacium…incixie nominatum" by charter dated 1125[453].

Marchese di Savona: a charter dated 22 Dec 1142 records the division of territories agreed between "Marchiones de Vasto…Mainfredum, Willielmum, Hugonem, Anselmum, Heinricum, Bonifacium et Oddonem filios quondam Bonifacii marchionis", under which Enrico took "marchionatus Saone"[454].

9. BONIFAZIO "minor" (-[1188/26 May 1190]).

"Bonifacius marchio" appointed "filiis suos Maginfredum et Wilielmum adque Ugonem necnon Anselmum…et Anricum et Bonefacium minorem atque Odonem" as his heirs but disinherited "Bonifacium…incixie nominatum" by charter dated 1125[455]. This document shows that Marchese Bonifazio had two sons named Bonifazio.

Archdeacon of Noyon.

The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis refers to (but does not name) the first of the daughters of "Hugonem Magnum [et] Adelaide comitissa Veromandensium" as wife of "Bonefacius marchio", parents of "Bonefacium archidiaconum Noviomensem et filios et filias, quarum una nupsit Guilelmo de Monte-pessulano"[456]. A manuscript entitled Genealogia regum Francorum tertiæ stirpis names "Bonefacium archidiaconum Noviomensem" as one of the sons of "Bonefacius Marchio" and his wife "Hugo…frater Philippi Regis Francorum…filias…una"[457]. Bishop of Alba. Marchese di Curtemilia. "Dominus Bonifacius Marchio de Curtemilia" confirmed the donation of "medietas castri, villæ…et comitatus Laureti", made by "Otto Marchio qui fuit frater eius", to the consuls of Asti by charter dated 1188[458].

"Dominus Guilielmus Marchio de Ceva" donated "hæreditate Domini Bonifacii Marchionis de Curtemilia" to the consuls of Asti by charter dated 26 May 1190[459]. This latter charter shows that Bonifazio died without children, his property being inherited by his nephew Guglielmo Marchese di Ceva.

10. OTTONE "Boerio" (-before 1188).

"Bonifacius marchio" appointed "filiis suos Maginfredum et Wilielmum adque Ugonem necnon Anselmum…et Anricum et Bonefacium minorem atque Odonem" as his heirs but disinherited "Bonifacium…incixie nominatum" by charter dated 1125[460]. "Marchiones filii domni Bonefatii…Manfredus, Wilielmus, Ugo, Anselmus, Enricus, Oddo Bouarius" donated property to the monastery of Staffarda by charter dated 9 Dec 1138[461]. A charter dated 1140 records the agreement between the people of Genoa and "marchiones filios Bonefacii…Manfredum et Hugonem et Anselmum et Henricum et Ottonem", promising not to make war secretly with "Oberto comite Vintimillii et filiis eius" with the permission of Genoa[462]. Conte di Loreto: a charter dated 22 Dec 1142 records the division of territories agreed between "Marchiones de Vasto…Mainfredum, Willielmum, Hugonem, Anselmum, Heinricum, Bonifacium et Oddonem filios quondam Bonifacii marchionis", under which Otto took "comitatus de Laureto"[463]. A charter dated 1155 records an agreement between the consuls of Genoa and "Manfredo, Enrico…Ottoni Bouerio"[464]. "Willelmus marchio filius Bonefacii marchionis quondam bone memorie" donated property at Scarnafigi to the monastery of Staffarda by charter dated to before 1156, witnessed by "Mainfredus marchio, Oto Bouerius marchio…"[465]. "Oto marchio" promised revenue to "Raimundo de Monteforti…Wilelmo de Monteforti et Mainfredo fratris eius" by charter dated 10 May 1157[466]. Marchese di Curtemilia. "Dominus Bonifacius Marchio de Curtemilia" confirmed the donation of "medietas castri, villæ…et comitatus Laureti", made by "Otto Marchio qui fuit frater eius", to the consuls of Asti by charter dated 1188[467].

m ---. The name of Ottone´s wife is not known.

Ottone & his wife had one child.

11. SIBILLA (-before 11 Dec 1146).

"Bonifacius marchio" provided dowries for "filiabus…Sibilie et Adalaxia et alie filie si ex hac uxore nata fuit" by charter dated 1125[469]. The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis refers to (but does not name) the first of the daughters of "Hugonem Magnum [et] Adelaide comitissa Veromandensium" as wife of "Bonefacius marchio", parents of "Bonefacium archidiaconum Noviomensem et filios et filias, quarum una nupsit Guilelmo de Montepessulano"[470]. The contract of marriage between "Guillelmus de Montispessulano" and "sponsam meam…Sibiliam" is dated Aug 1129 and lists her dowry as "castrum…Monsferrarius et Castrum Novum et villam de Sustancione et villam de Salzeto et villam Sancti Martini de Crecio" (Montferrier, Castelnau-le-Lez, Substantion, Salzetum, Le Crès {Hérault})[471].

According to documentation, identified by Johannes Vincke[472], relating to the divorce on grounds of consanguinity of Marie de Montpellier and her husband, she was the daughter of Bonifazio Marchese del Vasto (and, presumably, his wife Agnès de Vermandois, although this is not specified in the text).

In this text, several of Marie's relatives bore witness to the couple's shared ancestry, in particular "dominam Clemenciam amitam regine" (Clémence de Montpellier, sister of Guillaume [VIII] Seigneur de Montpellier) declared that "Bonifatius marchio habuit tres infantes…Bonefacium et Guillelmum marchionem et Sibiliam. De Bonifatio exivit domina Maria uxor domini Bernardo de Andusia, de Guillelmo marchione exivit comitissa de Bigorra, et de comitissa de Bigorra exivit uxor Bernardoni comitis Convenarum. De Sibilia exivit Guillelmus de Montepessulano, et de Guillelmo Montispessulani exivit Guillelmus pater Marie regine Aragonum. Hec ita vera esse audivit ab antecessoribus suis et a domino B. de Andusia et a domino episcopo Cyffricensi fratre eius, et a domina Marchisa eius uxore, et a domino R. episcopo Litteuensi et a multis aliis".

However, it should not be assumed that this documentation is completely accurate. The ancestry attributed to Bernard Comte de Comminges in the extract quoted above appears to be incorrect. In addition, in another part of the text several witnesses incorrectly state that the mother of Mathilde de Bourgogne was a daughter of Renaud Comte de Bourgogne.

m (contract Aug 1129) GUILLAUME [VI] Seigneur de Montpellier, son of GUILLAUME [V] Seigneur de Montpellier & his wife Ermesende de Melgueil (-[1162]).]

12. ADELAIDA (-after 1125).

"Bonifacius marchio" provided dowries for "filiabus…Sibilie et Adalaxia et alie filie si ex hac uxore nata fuit" by charter dated 1125[473].

Agnes (1090-1125), married Boniface del Vasto.

From the English Wikipedia on her husband, Boniface del Vasto:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boniface_del_Vasto

Boniface del Vasto was the margrave of Western Liguria from 1084 to 1125, the son and successor of Otto. He was of the Aleramici family, which also furnished the margraves of Montferrat. His capital was Savona.

Boniface had several daughters and sons by his first wife Alice, the daughter of Peter of Savoy,[1][2][3] and his second wife Agnes, daughter of Prince Hugh de Capet of France, Count of Vermandois.[4][5]

Two of his daughters married Roger's sons from previous relationships, Jordan, Count of Syracuse, and Geoffrey, Count of Ragusa (who may have died before the marriage actually took place). Boniface's sons founded the lines of the rulers of Saluzzo (his eldest son being Manfred I of Saluzzo, Busca, Lancia, Ceva, and Savona. His son Henry became a lord in Sicily.

Ben M. Angel notes:

The Italian Wikipedia page on Bonifacio del Vasto lumps all of Bonifacio's children as having Agnes as a mother, and doesn't acknowledge the existence of Alix of Savoy (possibly the author sides with Szabolcs de Vajay on her being a fabrication, compelling evidence to the contrary notwithstanding). The page also brings up a couple points worth noting:

- Bonifacio never went by "del Vasto" as this was a name given to his territory long after his death - apparently during his time it went by Montenotte, and included the high hinterlands of Savonna.

- Adelasia del Vasto, wife firstly to Roger I of Sicily and secondly to Baldwin I of Jerusalem, is apparently now thought to have been Bonifacio's daughter, rather than his niece. If Alix of Savoy exists, it is uncertain whether Adelasia would have been born by her, or second wife Agnes of Vermandois.
