Odo (or Eudes) (also Odon or Odonus) was the count of Toulouse from 872 t o 9 1 8 o r 9 1 9, when he died.

He was a son of Raymond I of Toulouse and Bertha, or of Bernard II of T o u l o u se.

He married Garsenda, daughter of Ermengol of Albi, and probably had thr e e c h i l dren. His sons were Raymond II, whom he associated in the counts h i p b y g i ving him Rouergue (before 898), and Ermengol, who inherited th a t s a m e p rovince. It has been suggested for onomastic reasons that Odo w a s t h e f a ther of Garsenda, wife of Wilfred II of Barcelona.[3]

One of the founders of the power of the Capetian house in France. Hugh ' s f i r s t wife was Eadhild, a sister of the English king, Athelstan. At t h e d e a t h of Rudolph, duke of Burgundy, in 936 , Hugh was in possession o f n e a r l y all the region between the Loire and the Seine, corresponding t o t h e a n c ient Neustria, with the exception of the territory ceded to th e N o r m a ns in 911. He took a very active part in bringing Louis IV (d'Ou tr e m e r ) f rom England in 936, but in the same year Hugh married Hedwige , s i s t e r of the emperor Otto the Great, and soon quarrelled with Louis.
Hugh even paid homage to Otto, and supported him in his struggle agains t L o u i s . When Louis fell into the hands of the Normans in 945, he was h an d e d o v er to Hugh, who released him in 946 only on condition that he s h o u l d s urrender the fortress of Laon. At the council of Ingelheim (948) H u g h w a s c ondemned, under pain of excommunication, to make reparation to L o u i s . I t was not, however, until 950 that the powerful vassal became re c o n c i led with his suzerain and restored Laon. But new difficul ti es ar o s e , a n d peace was not finally concluded until 953.
On the death of Louis IV, Hugh was one of the first to recognize Lothai r a s h i s s u ccessor, and, at the intervention of Queen Gerberga, was ins tr um e n t al in having him crowned. In recognition of this service Hugh wa s i n v e s ted by the new king with t h e duchies of Burgundy (his suzerain ty o v e r w h ich had already been nominally recognized by Louis IV) and Aq uit a i n e . But his expedition in 955 to take possession of Aquitaine was u n s u c c essful. In the same year, however, Giselbert, duke of Burgund y , a c k n o w ledged himself his vassal and betrothed his daughter to Hugh's son O t t o . A t G iselbert's death (April 8, 956) Hugh became effective master o f t h e d u c hy, but died soon afterwards, on the 16th or 17th of June 956.

Pepin "The Short"
741: Pippin and Carloman respectively became mayors of Neustria and Au s t r asia palaces. ... Grifo, was imprisoned in a monastery ... Carloman, r e t i red to a monastery in 747. This left Pippin as sole mayor and dux et p r i n ceps Francorum, a title originated by his grandfather and namesake P i p p in of Heristal.
Under reorganization of Francia by Charles Martel the dux et princeps F r a n corum were the kingdom's army commanders, palace mayor, and specific a l l y commander of the year-round standing guard Martel began in 721.
Pippin and Carloman, installed Childeric III as a puppet king, even tho u g h M artel left the throne vacant since the death of Theuderic IV.
When Carloman's retired, Grifo escaped and fled to Duke Odilo of Bavari a , w h o was married to Hiltrude. Odilo was forced by Pippin to acknowled g e F r ankish overlordship, but died soon after (January 18, 748). Pippin i n v a ded Bavaria and installed Tassilo III as duke under Frankish overlor d s h ip.
Since Pippin controlled the magnates and was the de facto ruler, he mad e t h e C arolingian name royal in law as well as fact. Pippin asked Pope Z a c h ary who should be the royal ruler: the person with the title of King , o r t h e person who makes the decisions as King. Since the Pope depende d o n t h e Frankish armies for his independence, and had depended on them f o r p r otection from the Lombards since the days of Charles Martel, and P i p p in, as his father had, controlled those armies, the Pope's answer wa s d e t ermined well in advance.
The Pope agreed that de facto power was more important than de jure. Th u s , P ippin, having obtained the support of the papacy, discouraged oppo s i t ion. With an army at his side to enforce the Papal Bull, Pepin was e l e c ted King of the Franks by an assembly of leading Franks and anointed a t S o i ssons, perhaps by Boniface, Archbishop of Mainz. Meanwhile, Grifo c o n t inued rebellion, but was eventually killed in the battle of Saint-Je a n d e M aurienne in 753.
: He added to that power after Pope Stephen II traveled all the way to P a r i s to anoint Pippin in a lavish ceremony at Saint Denis Basilica, bes t o w ing upon him the additional title of patricius Romanorum (Patrician o f t h e R omans). As life expectancies were short in those days, and Pippi n w a n ted family continuity, the Pope also anointed Pippin's sons, Charl es ( e v entually known as Charlemagne) and Carloman.
: Pippin fell ill in 768 and died in September of that year at Saint De n i s w here he is interred in the basilica with his wife Bertrada.Se t t i pani, Christian. La Pr�histoire des Cap�tiens 481-987. Villeneuve d' A s c q, 1993. Pages 181-184. Historical opinion often seems to rega r d h i m as the lesser son and lesser father of two greater men, though a g r e a t man in his own right.
He continued to build the cavalry his father began, and maintained the s t a n ding army. He kept his father's policy of containing the Moors, and d r o v e them over and across the Pyrenees by taking Narbonne.
He continued his father's expansion of the Frankish church (missionary w o r k i n Germany and Scandinavia) and the infrastructure (feudalism) that w o u l d prove the backbone of medieval Europe. His rule, while not as grea t a s e i ther his father's or son's, was historically important and of gr ea t b e nefit to the Franks as a people
: In 740, Peppin married Bertrada of Laon, his second cousin. (Her fath e r , C haribert, was the son of Pippin II's brother, Martin of Laon.) Of t h e i r children, two sons and a daughter survived to adulthood

Philip I (23 May 1052 - 29 July 1108), called the enormous or the Fat, w a s K i n g o f France from 1060 to his death. His reign, like that of most o f t h e e a r ly Direct Capetians, was extraordinarily long for the time. Th e m o n a r chy began a modest recovery from the low it reached in the reign o f h i s f a t her and he added to the royal demesne The Vexin and Bourges. P hi l i p w a s the son of Henry I and Anne of Kiev . His name was of Greek o r i g i n , being derived from Philippos, meaning "lover of horses". It was r a t h e r e xotic for Western Europe at the time and was bestowed upon him b y h i s E a s tern European mother. Although he was crowned king at the age o f s e v e n , until age fourteen (1066) his mother acted as regent, the firs t q u e e n o f France ever to do so. Her co-regent was Baldwin V of Flander s. P h i l i p first married Bertha, daughter of Floris I, Count of Holland, i n 1 0 7 2 . A lthough the marriage produced the necessary heir, Philip fell i n l o v e w i th Bertrade de Montfort, the wife of Count Fulk IV of Anjou. H e r e p u d iated Bertha (claiming she was too fat) and married Bertrade on 1 5 M a y 1 0 9 2. In 1094, he was excommunicated by Hugh, Archbishop of Lyon, f o r t h e f i rst time; after a long silence, Pope Urban II repeated the exc o m m u n ication at the Council of Clermont in November 1095. Several times t h e b a n w a s lifted as Philip promised to part with Bertrade, but he alwa y s r e t u rned to her, and after 1104, the ban was not repeated. In France , t h e k i n g was opposed by Bishop Ivo of Chartres, a famous jurist. Phil ip a p p o i nted Alberic first Constable of France in 1060. A great part of h i s r e i g n, like his father's, was spent putting down revolts by his powe r - h u n gry vassals.

Philip proved indecisive, soft in nature, and timid. The strong persona l i t i e s of his parents apparently crushed him, and policies of his fathe r d o m i n ated him. People called him "the Bold" on the basis of his abili ti e s i n c o mbat and on horseback an

Princess Annabella Stewart was the youngest daughter of King James I an d h i s w i f e, Joan Beaufort. Her date of birth is not provided in source m a t e r i al but, based on life events and her position in the family, might b e p r e s u med to be circa 1435.

She was betrothed on 14 December 1444 to Louis of Savoy, count of Genev a ( a n d l a ter King of Cyprus). He was eight years old at that time. The f o l l o w ing year (1445) Annabella was taken to Savoy for the marriage cere m o n y . S he was about ten years old, and her groom was nine. On 3 March 1 4 5 5 / 6 t he Bishop of Galloway and the Chancellor of Savoy agreed, in the p r e s e n ce of King Charles VII, that the marriage should be dissolved. The g r o o m ' s father agreed to pay 25,000 "for the damages and interests of th e w i f e " a nd for Annabella's expenses in travelling back to Scotland. Th er e w e r e n o known children from this marriage.

She married, secondly, before 10 March 1460, as his second wife, Sir Ge o r g e G o rdon, then Master of Huntly. George was five years younger than L o u i s , h er first husband. He had married (first) at the age of fourteen, t h e w i d o w Elizabeth Dunbar, who was thirty years of age. That marriage w a s e v e n tually dissolved on grounds on consanguinity. Confirmation of th e m a r r i age of Annabella with George Gordon is noticed in a grant of lan ds b y h e r b r other James II made to George and Annabella joint l y on th e d at e o f t h eir marriage.

In May 1466, Gordon started divorce proceedings, on the basis of consan g u i n i ty, and was divorced on 24 July 1471.

Baldwin notes that the major medieval source for Ad�le's parentage is a n e l e v e nth century collection of Angevin genealogies, which includes a g e n e a l ogical table of Ad�le's relatives and clearly makes her a daughter o f c o u n t R obert of Troyes.

"In the list of captives taken with David the Second at the battle of D u r h a m i n 1346, occurs William Baillie (Rymer), the first time that the n a m e i s f o und thus written, or Englished, as it is expressed. After his r e l e a s e this William Baillie was, in 1357, knighted by David the Second, w h o g r a n ted him a charter, dated 27th January 1368, of the barony of Lam i n g t o n, which has remained in the possession of his descendants till th e p r e s e nt time.

The elder Ralf is typically referred to in t h a t b o o k as Ralf the staller, or the old Earl Ralf (in contrast to his s o n ) . M a ps of his Domesday mentions.

Before 1066, Ralph the staller was an officer of the Anglo-Saxon king E d w a r d t he Confessor, and also a noble in Brittany. One of the positions h e h e l d , a nd by which he was later often described, was the position of " S t a l l er", which is sometimes translated as constable.
