See posted document in Sources



“By 1120, one family dominated the settlements in Levant established by the First Crusade. King Baldwin II of Jerusalem had cousins everywhere. William of Bures-sur-Yvette and Hugh of Le Puiset were lords of Galilee and Jaffa, the two most strategically important seigneuries in his kingdom. Joscelin of Courtenay was count of Edessa in the north. The most important lordship in that county was held by Waleran of Le Puiset, whose brother was abbot of St Mary of the Valley of Jehoshaphat and custodian of the chief Marian shrine in Jerusalem, the tomb from which the Blessed Virgin Mary was believed to have been assumed into heaven.

These men were all descended from Guy I of Montlhéry in the Île-de-France and his wife, Hodierna of Gometz. Guy had been pious and attracted to Cluniac monasticism, had founded the priory of Longpont-sous- Montlhéry, where he ended his days as a monk. Very typically, a streak of religiosity ran in the family alongside a tendency to extreme violence. Perhaps this explains why two of Guy and Hodierna’s sons, the husbands of two of their daughters, six grandsons, and granddaughter and her husband, and the husband of another granddaughter, a great-grandson, and the husband of a great-granddaughter to part in the First Crusade. This extraordinary record was due largely to the offspring of Guy and Hodierna’s four daughters, the legendary Montlhéry sisters, whose procreativity was mentioned with awe by the twelfth-century historian William of Tyre. They were married into the families of St Valéry and Le Puiset-Breteuil, which each sent three first crusaders, Bourcq of Rethel, which sent two, including Baldwin II himself, and Courtenay, which provided one. If one adds to this the contribution from the closely related families of Chaumont-en-Vexin, Broyes and Pont-Echanfray, two generations of this clan produced 26, perhaps 28, crusaders to and settlers in the East. They demonstrate how a kindred could respond almost en bloc to a summons that appealed to them.”
