Notes from the academic journal article by Nicholas Petrovich, La Reine de Serbie Helene d'Anjou et la Maison de Chaources, in Crusades, Vol. 14, 2015, pp. 167-182 (Routledge publishes this journal for The Society for the Study of the Crusades and the Latin East) (abstracted/translated/paraphrased from the French for Geni by Curator Pam Wilson):

Helen of Anjou was married to King Uros (1243-76) and mother to King Dragutin (1275-82) and King Milutin (1282-1321) of Serbia. This new study into her origins reveals that she came from the House of Chaources in Maine, France, a dynasty that also took root in England as the House of Chaworth, as well as in Angevin Sicily. The family backed the crusader Charles of Anjou [(early 1226/1227 – 7 January 1285)][son of Louis VIII, King of France and a member of the royal Capetian dynasty and the founder of the second House of Anjou. He was Count of Provence and Forcalquier in the Holy Roman Empire, Count of Anjou and Maine in France; he was also King of Naples & Sicily and Prince of Achaea.] His influence in the Mediterranean and the Balkans (and thus Serbia) was substantial; Angevin history in Serbia is symbolized by the name Helen of Anjou, who married the Serb King Uros between 1244-1250. She was canonized by the Orthodox Church three years after her death 8 Feb 1314. SHe was said to have been of royal and French blood. 18th c historian Daniele Farlati revealed that Queen Helene had a sister named Marie who, after she was widowed, came and established herself at Ulcinj. Her place of origin is inscribed upon her tomb but had been mistranscribed. Recently, three letters of Charles of Anjou archived in Naples, named Helen's sister as Maria de Chaurs (or Chau), widow of Anselme de Chau (a crusader, member of the Picardy House of Cayeux and a diplomat in Albania for Charles), and mother of a son. Anselme I de Cayeux, an ancestor of the same name, was "one of the heroes" of the conquest of Constantinople in 1204 and one of the grand dignitaries of that empire; his son Anselme II was regent of Romania in 1238, having most likely married in 1224 Eudoxie Lascaris (dau of Theodore, the Nicean Greek Emperor). Their son Anselme III was Chambrier of the Holy Roman Empire before Charles of Anjou named him as Captain and Vicar General of Albania in 1273, where he died a year later. He and wife Maria had a son Anselme, named as seigneur de Dominois (Somme, Fr) who made donations to the Abbey of Dommartin in 1275 and the Abbey of Valloires in 1283 and also had a wife named Marie.
The author makes a strong case to explain that previous historians had assumed the de Chau and de Chaurs were variants on the same name, assuming that Maria was being called by her husband's name; however, he argues that the two names were distinct and that de Chaurs was Maria's birth name. He notes that in 1254 among the knights loyal to Charles of Anjou were three Chaources of Maine: Pierre, Patrice and Payen, and that at least three members of that family had followed Charles to Italy: Patrice, Herve and Henri. Patrice appears regularly in the Angevin archives from 1277-82 and was named in 1280 as Justiciar of the Terra di Otranto [a region of Apulia, ancient part of the Kingdom of Sicily]--the same year Maria obtained permission to travel to Serbia to be with her sister Helene.

Curator note: This is a very different account from that given in Wikipedia for the origins of Helen and Maria: "Her origin is not known for certain;[2] she was born in ca 1236, and the biography of Archbishop Danilo states that "she was of a French family" and a continuator of the work that "the family was of royal or imperial blood".[3] John Fine, Jr. states that she was "of Catholic and French origin, probably of the House of Valois".[4] According to Europäische Stammtafeln, she descended from a side branch of the Byzantine emperor's family and the Hungarian royal house, in which case she may have been the daughter of John Angelus of Syrmia and a sister of Maria Angelina, wife of Anselm de Keu (Anseau de Cayeux), Captain General in Albania for Charles I of Naples. Charles I mentioned her as a relative in a letter dated 1273. She may have been the granddaughter of the sister of Baldwin II of Constantinople."

"In 1280, Charles I of Sicily issued documents to Maria Angelina allowing her to travel from Apulia to Serbia to visit "her sister the queen of Serbia". Maria Angelina's parents are known from her marriage license, issued in 1253 by the pope, as Calojohanni and imperatore Constantinopolitano, eiusdem Matildis avunculo...Matildis dominæ de Posaga, natæ comitissæ Viennensis, that is, Kaloioannes Angelos, lord of Srem, and Mathilde, daughter of Marguerite de Courtenay (the sister of the Latin emperors Robert and Baldwin II) and Henry I, Count of Vianden.[5] Therefore, Helena, like her sister Maria, was a paternal granddaughter of the Byzantine emperor Isaac II Angelos by his second wife, Margaret of Hungary." (retrieved 11-29-2019 from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_of_Anjou)]

Petrovich continues:

The Maison de Chaworth (Chaources) in England was established in the 11th century through the merits of the first de Chaources who followed William the Conqueror. At the end of the 11th c. Patrice I "The Ancient" owned rich lands in Bedfordshire and Gloucestershire and had at least 7 children, among whom Patrice II and Robert headed two principal branches. This powerful and influential family had a glorious existence during the reigns of Henry III and Edward I (1216-1307 for both). For example, Payen III de Chaworth (1244-79, son of Patrice IV and Harvise de Londres) was lord of Ogwell and Kidwelly and baron of Kemsford in Gloucestershire who gained fame at the Battle of Evesham in 1265.

...Patrice V may have been the same Patrice named in 1280 as Justiciar of the Terra di Otranto, and without a doubt Herve de Chaources, chatelain de Macchia, was the same Herve who was seigneur of Brulon & Malicorne (1222-90)--and thus the same as Hervey de Chauwyth, uncle of Patrice V and Payen III, who accompanied him on crusade beside Prince Edward to join Charles of Anjou.

In a note: Patrice I de Chaources had a daughter Sybile who married Gauthier/Walter de Salisbury (d 1144) and had (1) son Patrice (d 1168), (2) a daughter Sybille who was mother of the famed Guillaume le Marechal; and (3) daughter Harvise de Salisbury (d 1152) who married Rotrou II du Perche (d 1144) with sons Rotrou III and Etienne/Steven.

"CHAWORTH (CHAOURCES)

The common use of the name Patrice indicates that the Chaources/Chaworth family in England was descended from the family of the seigneurs de Sourches in Maine (see the document MAINE). The parentage of Patrice [III], ancestor of the English family set out below, is uncertain. An English source dated to the reign of King William II confirms that his father´s name was Patrick/Patrice. The chronology of the family suggests that this was probably Patrice [II], although this affiliation cannot be confirmed beyond all doubt. "Patricius de Cadurcis" donated land "apud Ameneye de feodo suo…[et] apud Ameneye Sancti Nicholai" to Gloucester St Peter, with the confirmation of "rege Henrico seniore", by undated charter but dated to "tempore Willelmi abbatis" [abbot from 1113 to 1131.

• If Patrice [III] was the son of another Patrice, the chronology suggests that his father was Patrice [II], although this affiliation cannot be confirmed beyond all doubt. He succeeded his father-in-law at Weston, near Bath, and at Kempsford in Gloucestershire.
• The Historia sancti Petri Gloucestriæ records that "Ernulphus de Hesdyng" donated "ecclesiam de Heythrop, Lynkbolt…et ecclesiam de Kynemerforde", confirmed by "Patricius de Cadurcis et Matilda uxor eius", and by "hæredum suorum" in "quatuor cartæ", in the fourth of which "Paganus filius Patricii" donated "decimam domini sui de Kynermerforde", that "Johannes episcopus" confirmed and donated "quatuor marcas annuas in ecclesia de Kynermerforde", with the confirmation of "Rex Henricus senior…tempore Serlonis abbatis" [abbot from 1072 to 1104].

"Patricius de Caurz…" subscribed a charter dated 28 Jun 1121 under which "Willelmus filius regis" donated "terra…Grenta de Stoca" to Bath St Peter.

"L'ancienne maison de Chaources posséda aussi de belles terres en Angleterre, dès avant l'avènement de la dynastie des Plantagenets. Sous Henri II, Patrice de Chaources, seigneur de Saint-Aignan, près Ballon, avait, à Kinemeresforde, une propriété seigneuriale, dont il détacha quatre moulins et des rentes dîmales, pour les concéder au manastère de Saint-Pierre de Glocester. Vers 1133 , il fit don à la Couture du Mans de l'église de Dodington et de ses dépendances). Son fils Payen, fondateur de Tjronneau, tint le château fort de Kedmelly, au diocèse de Saint-Asaph, pays de Galles. Ses aumônes en faveur des moines de Cilejux, établis à Blanchelande, et celles qu il fît aux chanoines de la Trinité de Bottefant, près Southampton, l'ont fait reconnaître comme un des principaux bienfaiteurs de ces établissements. ...

(4) Patrice de Chaources, seigneur deSaint-Aignan, épousa en premières noces une Angla.se, nommée Havisia de Londonia, dont il eut Payen. Elle était fille ou sœur d'un Thomas de Londonia, rappelé, ainsi qu'elle, dans une charte de l'abbaye de Blanchelande ( Monastic. anglic, tom. Il, p. 885). Dans ce titre, Payen de Chaources est cité comme l'héritier des biens de sa mère en Angleterre. Ce fut pour le repos de l'âme de cette Havisia que Patrice de Chaources , qui s'était remarié à Mathilde, donna au prieuré de Brûlon l'église de Dodingtonqui Taisait partie de la dot de la dame anglaise."

"A second Arnulf de Hesdin, most likely his son was executed by hanging in Shrewsbury in 1138. His three sisters, Aveline, Matilda and Sybil are left as the co- heiresses of Arnulps lands. Sybil married Walter de Salisbury, and a part of the barony of Kempsford was given to her son, Patrick Earl of Salisbury. The greater part of Arnulph's Domesday lands in the western counties is passed on to Patrick de Cadurics, or Chaworth when he married Matlida."

"Chaworth Or Cadurcis: Hesdene.\emdash Who was Sybilla de Chaworth, wife of Walter d'Evreux, and mother of Patrick, Earl of Salisbury ?" Patrick de Cadurcis or Chaworth, and Maud his wife, testified and confirmed by their deed all donations made by their children," &c. Of what family was this Maud? Temp. Edw. I. we find that " Maude de Chawarde held the Vill of Etlawe, co. Glouc'."

On what authority do the Scropes quarter the arms of Chaworth? Several of the possessions of Ernulph de Hesdene in Somersetshire and Gloucestershire are found (temp. Wm. Rufus) to be the property of Patrick de Chaworth. Rudder (Hist. Gloucestershire, p. 510), says Hesdene conveyed Kempsf'ord, and adds, under "Hatherop," that that manor "probably passed to the Chaworths at the same time."

Collinson (Hist. Som. i. 160), states that gome hides in Weston, formerly the property of Hesdene, were in the possession (temp. Wm. Rufus) of Patrick de Cadurcis; "but how be (Hesdene) parted with his estate does not appear."

Is there any authority for Rudder's statement, or did he not, from the fact of the manors in question being found afterwards in the possession of Chaworth, conjecture that they were conveyed by Hesdene? Does it not seem that Chaworth became possessed of this property in right of his wife Maud, who might have been a sister or daughter of Hesdene?

I may add, that I have reasons for doubting the accuracy of a pedigree of Hesdene inserted in Burke's Visitation of Seats and Arms. H. S. G."
