      “AUBREY DE DAMMARTIN, Count of Dammartin-en-Goële, seigneur of Lillebonne-en-Normandie, and Rouville, lord of Beachampton (in Great Staughton) and Southoe, Huntingdonshire, Piddington, Oxfordshire, South Norton and Thurston, Suffolk, etc., son and heir, born say 1130. He married MAHAUT (or MATHILDE) OF CLERMONT, daughter of Renaud II, Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis, by Clemence, Countess of Dammartin, daughter of Renaud I, Count of Bar-le-Duc [see CLERMONT 2 for her ancestry]. They had three sons, Renaud [Count of Boulogne, Dammartin, and Mortain], Simon [Count of Aumale, Ponthieu, and Monstreuil], and Raoul, and four daughters, Alix (or Aleide, Adelicia) (wife of Jean II, seigneur of Trie), Agnes, Clemence (wife of Jacques de Prische, 4th son of Guillaume, Chatelain of Saint Omer), and Juliane. In 1174 either he or his father, Aubrey, as "Aubrey Count of Dammartin," witnessed a charter of Ralph Fitz Ralph Fitz Reinger and his brother, Hugh, to Rufford Abbey. About 1175, as Aubrey, Count of Dammartin, he granted Missenden Abbey the hermitage and chapel of Muswell, together with the tithe of the demesne of Piddington, Oxfordshire; this grant was made with the consent of his son and heir, Renaud. In 1177, as "Aubrey Count of Dammartin," he witnessed a charter of his brother-in-law, Raoul, Count of Clermont. Some time before 1184 he successfully claimed to have an hereditary right to Merton, Oxfordshire; he subsequently obtained a charter from King Henry II confirming the manor of Merton to himself and his son Renaud with all the rights that their ancestors had enjoyed under King Henry I. In 1183-4, as "Aubrey, Count of Dammartin," he issued a charter confirming the previous grant of Merton, Oxfordshire to the Templars, excepting the fee and tenement of Guy of Merton and his heirs, the overlordship of which Aubrey reserved to himself. Sometime before 1184 Earl Simon de Semis confirmed to Aubrey and his son, Renaud, lands in Beachampton (in Great Staughton) and Southoe, Huntingdonshire. In 1185 he and his wife, Countess Mathilde, and his son, Renaud, Count of Boulogne, issued a charter to the canons and prior of Dammartin. In 1193 he and his wife, Mathilde, witnessed a charter of their son-in-law, Jean de Trie, to the Abbey of St.-Paul. In 1194 the manor of Piddington, Oxfordshire, was described as lately belonging to the Count of Dammartin, it then being in royal hands as an escheat. In 1200 he granted the Priory of Saint-Leu d'Esserent 40 shilling Parisien of rent. In 1202 [sic] he and his wife, Mathilde, gave the chapel of their manor of Rouville to the church of Alisay. AUBREY II, Count of Dammartin-en-Goële, died at London 19 Sept. 1200, and was buried in the Abbey of Jumièges. He left a testament dated 20 [sic] Sept. 1200. His widow, Mahout, was co-heiress in 1218 to her great-nephew, Thibaut, Count of Blois and Clermont. In 1218 she quitclaimed her rights in the comté of Clermont to King Philippe Auguste.

      Children of Aubri de Dammartin, by Mahaut de Clermont:
      i. RENAUD DE DAMMARTIN, of Beachampton (m Great Staughton) and Southoe, Huntingdonshire, Piddington, Oxfordshire, Ryhall, Rutlandshire, Norton, Suffolk, and, in right of his 2nd wife, Count of Boulogne, and of Kirton-in-Lindsay, Dunham, Nottinghamshire, Bampton and Cold Norton, Oxfordshire, etc., son and heir, born 1165. He married (1st) MARIE DE CHATILLON, daughter of Guy de Chatillon, whom he subsequently repudiated. They had no issue. He married (2nd) c.1191 IDA OF BOULOGNE, Countess of Boulogne, widow of Gerard III, Count of Guelders and Zutphen, contracted wife of Berthold V, Duke of Zeringhen, and daughter and co-heiress of Mathieu of Flanders, Count of Boulogne, lord of Kirton-in-Lindsey, Lincolnshire, Dunham, Nottinghamshire, Bampton and Cold Norton, Oxfordshire, Exning, Suffolk, etc., by his 1st wife, Mary (or Marie), daughter of Stephen, King of England [see BRABANT 4 for her ancestry]. They had one daughter, Mahaut (or Mathilde, Mafalda) [Countess of Boulogne and Dammartin] (wife successively of Philippe dit Hurepel, Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis and Mortain, and Affonso III, King of Portugal and the Algarve [see PORTUGAL 7]). Sometime before 1184 Simon Earl of Huntingdon and Northampton granted him the manor of Wrestlingworth, Bedfordshire. In 1189 he was granted the castle and forest of Lillebonne, Normandy by King Henry II. In 1198 King Richard I confirmed to him the forest of Lillebonne and the inheritance in England and in Normandy of his wife, Ida, as count Mathieu held it, and all the inheritance of his father count Aubrey de Dammartin. The same year the king granted him the manor of Bampton, Oxfordshire. In 1202 King Philippe granted him the fortress and county of Aumale. Following Renaud's defection from the England king in 1203, the manor of Bampton passed in custody to Geoffrey Fitz Peter, Earl of Essex. In 1204-6 King Philippe Auguste granted Mortain and Saint-James in Normandy to Count Renaud and his brother, Simon, only to confiscate them once more in 1211. In 1212 King John restored to him the manors of Wrestlingworth, Bedfordshire, Kirton-in-Lindsay, Lincolnshire, Bampton, Cold Norton, and Piddington, Oxfordshire, Ryhall, Rutland, and Little Haugh (in Norton), Suffolk. He was defeated by King Philippe Auguste at the Battle of Bouvines in 1214, and forfeited his title of count. Although still regarded as part of Renaud's honour of Boulogne after his capture at the Battle of Bouvines, the manor of Bampton, Oxfordshire was granted at pleasure in 1217 to Fawkes de Breaute.

      2. “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
      “AUBREY DE DAMMARTIN, Count of Dammartin-en-Goële, of Little Haugh (in Norton), Suffolk, and, in right of his 2nd wife, of Piddington, Oxfordshireson and heir, born say 1100. He married (1st) MAUD ___, possibly daughter of William de Saint Clair, of Hamerton, Huntingdonshire. They had one son, Aubrey II [Count of Dammartin]. In 1130-35 King Henry I of England confirmed to him all the land of his father in the manor of Norton, Suffolk. In the period, 1148-53?, he and Eudes de Dammartin were granted lands in Wrestlingworth, Bedfordshire and Beachampstead (in Great Staughton), Huntingdonshire. He was granted the manor of Hamerton, Huntingdonshire about 1152-3, to hold by the service of one knight. In the period, 1147-65, he and his wife, Maud, confirmed the earlier grant of the church of Hamerton, Huntingdonshire made by William de Saint Clair to the monks of Colchester Monastery. About 1150-60 he witnessed a charter of Manasser de Dammartin to Missenden Abbey. In 1162 Arnauri, Bishop of Senlis, attested in the presence of King Louis that Aubrey, Count of Dammartin, and his father, Aubrey the Chamberlain, confirmed to the Abbey of Chaalis all that the Abbey possessed in the county of Dammartin. Sometime after c.1162 and before 1166, as Aubrey, Count of Dammartin, he granted the manor of Norton, Suffolk to his brother, William de Dammartin 1166, died ante 1170). He married (2nd) before 1164 JOAN BASSET, widow successively of Guy de Ryhall (otherwise Fitz Pain, de Cahaines) (died c. 1151-52), of Ryhall, Rutlandshire and Piddington, Oxfordshire, and Simon de Gerardmoulin (living 1152-53), of Merton and Piddington, Oxfordshire, and daughter of Gilbert Basset, of Bicester and Wallingford, by his wife, Edith d'Oilly. In 1174 either he or his son, Aubrey, as "Aubrey Count of Dammartin," witnessed a charter of Ralph Fitz Ralph Fitz Reinger and his brother, Hugh, to Rufford Abbey. AUBREY I, Count of Dammartin-en-Goele, died before c.1175.

Anselme et Bosquillon se bornent à énoncer l’identité sans apporter de preuves à l'appui. André Duchesne, qui a avancé le fait le premier, Histoire de la maison de Bar, fo 23, est plus explicite et en meme temps moins affirmatif. 'Il est vrai, dit-il, que l'historien Alberic ne parle point du second mariage de Clémence de Bar avec le comte de Dammartin, mais je l'ai recueilli de plusieurs conjectures et raisons fort vraisemblables. Car en premier lieu quelques titres de l'abbaye de Saint-Denis en France font mention d'une Clémence, comtesse de Dammartin, veuve en l’année 1153. Secondement par une charte de l'abbaye d'Andres, Hugues de Clairemont, abbé de Cluny, fils de Clemence, est dit oncle de Renaut, comte de Boulogne et de Dammartin, fils d'Alberic II, ce qui ne pourroit convenir, sinon en accordant qu'Alberic et Hugues étoient frères utérins. On bien il faudroit que Mahaut, mere de comte Renaud, eut été sæur du mesme Hugues. En quoi II n'y a point d'apparence, vu qu'après la mort de Catherine, comtesse de Clermont, fille du comte Raoul et d'Alix de Breteuil, les enfants de cette Mahaut ne participerent point à la succession d'icelle, comme firent ceux de Marguerite de Clermont, sæur de Hugues et de Raoul. En troisième lieu, Rigordus, auteur du siècle, dit sous l’année 1212 que la comtesse de Clermont lors vivante, savoir est Catherine, file de Raoul, étoit cousine de Renaut de Dammartin. Bref Albéric écrit qu'en la même année Renaut sortant du royaume se retira par devers le comte de Bar, Thibaut Ier, lequel II qualifie aussi son cousin. D'on II s'ensuit que Clémence, comtesse de Dammartin, son aïeule, doit avoir eté de la maison de Bar et la même que Clémence de Bar, conjointe avec Renaut, comte de Clairmont en Beauvaisis.).
