Geoffroy II 'Grisegonelle', comte de Vendôme

1. GEOFFROY [II] "Grisegonelle" de Vendôme (-[Saint-Gilles-en-Languedoc] [19 May] 1145). "Gaufredus comes Vindocinensis [et] uxor sua Eufrosina et filius eorum Gaufredus Grassa Cotella" consented to the donation by "miles Girardus" by charter dated 1092[68]. He succeeded his father in 1103 as Comte de Vendôme. "Gauffridus Vindocinensis comes" restored the mills of "Ponte et…Friquembaldi" to "Petrus filius Hamelini hæres [Amelini de Monte-Aureo]" at the request of the abbé of La Trinité de Vendôme by charter dated 1121[69]. "Goffridus comes Vindocinensis dictus Grisagonella" confirmed the possessions of La Trinité de Vendôme, for the soul of "uxoris mee Mahildis" and with the consent of "duo filii mei Johannis et Goffredus", by charter dated to [1102/29][70]. "Goffridus comes Vindocinensis cognomento Grizagonella" confirmed the right of passage in the forest of Gâtines by charter dated 6 Nov 1134, witnessed by "…Goffirdus de Lavarzino filius eius, Heremias, Wlgrimus frater Bartholomei…"[71]. "Goffridus Grisagonella comes Vindocini et Johannes filius eius" donated part of the forest of Gâtineau to the abbey of La Trinité de Vendôme by charter dated 1139, which states that Geoffroy had recently returned from Jerusalem, later consented to by "Lancelinus filius Johannis comitis Vindocini, Mathildis filia eiusdem Johannis, item alia filia Mathildis" and witnessed by "domnus Lancelinus de Baugenciaco…Goffridus de Chaorciis…"[72]. The necrology of Vendôme La Trinité records the death "XIV Kal Jun" of "Goffridus comes"[73]. m (1105) as her second husband, MATHILDE de Châteaudun, widow of ROBERT Vicomte de Blois, daughter of HUGUES Vicomte de Châteaudun & his wife Agnès de Fréteval (-25 Sep [after 1139]). Her origin is confirmed by the charter dated 1119 under which "Gaufridus de Castroduno" (her brother) donated property to the abbey of Sainte-Trinité de Tiron with the consent of "uxore mea [unnamed] Hugone filio meo et duabus filiabus meis Aupazia et Helvissa atque nepote meo Gofredo filio comitis Vindocinensis"[74]. "Gaufredus comes Vindocinensis qui cognominatus et Grisa Gonella…uxor eius Mathildis…comitissa necnon Eschirater eiusdem comitis" donated property by charter dated 1107[75]. "…Mithildis comitissa Vindocinensis filia eiusdem Hugonis…" consented to the donation by "Hugo vicecomes Castriduni" by charter dated [1110/11][76]. "Mahildis Vindocinensis comitissa" recognised the rights of La Trinité de Vendôme over the forest of Gastines, at the request of "Goffridum maritum suum", by charter dated 1119[77]. "Goffridus comes Vindocinensis dictus Grisagonella" confirmed the possessions of La Trinité de Vendôme, for the soul of "uxoris mee Mahildis" and with the consent of "duo filii mei Johannis et Goffredus", by charter dated to [1102/29][78]. A list of anniversaries of Vendôme La Trinité records the death "IX Kal Oct" of "Mathildis comitissa Vindocinensis"[79]. Saint-Venant suggests that Mathilde died before 1139, the date of a charter under which “Goffridus Grisagonella comes Vindocini et Johannes filius meus” donated part of the forest of Gâtineau to Marmoutier “pro salute anime matris sue et anime uxoris sue”[80]. However, the repetition of the word “anime” in in the document would be unnecessary if the donor´s mother and his wife were both deceased at the time. The document indicates a distinction between their two situations, suggesting that the donor´s wife must have still been alive at the time. Comte Geoffroy [II] & his wife had two children
