Second of the two sons of Duke Godefroy III of Basse-Lorraine and his first wife, Margareta van Limburg; brother of Henri I, duke of Brabant; nephew of Duke Henri III de Limbourg and Count Albert III von Dagsberg. Cousin of Cardinal Simon de Limbourg (1195). He is also listed as Albert de Brabant, Albert of Lowen, Adalbero of Louvaine, Albert de Liège and Albert von Lüttich. Education. As a child, he was dedicated to the church and studied in the school of the cathedral of Saint-Lambert, Liège. Early life. Canon prebendary of the cathedral chapter of Saint-Lambert of Liège ca. 1178. In 1187, when the news of the fall of Jerusalem reached Liège, he resigned his offices, took the cross and was knighted at Valenciennes. In 1188, he was restored to the ecclesiastical state by Cardinal Henri de Marsiac, O.Cist., papal preacher of the crusade; and became archdeacon of Liège in that same year; and later, provost of the collegiate churches of Saint-Pierre and Saint-Jean in Liège. Received the subdiaconate in 1191. Episcopate. Elected bishop of Liège by the overwhelming majority of its cathedral chapter, September 8, 1191 although he had not reached the canonical age of thirty; all the other archdeacons, clergy, people of the city and princes of the land, consented to his election; Count Badouin de Hainaut, enemy of Duke Henri of Bavant, opposed the election of Albert de Louvain and, with a handful of canons, elected Albert de Rethel, provost of Liège. The dispute was brought up before Emperor Heinrich VI; at the Diet of Worms, on January 13, 1192, the emperor referred the matter to a committee of ten bishops and three abbots; the committee decided that since the see was clearly in dispute, it fell to the emperor to appoint a bishop; the emperor appointed Lothaire von Hochstaden, provost of Bonn; Albert of Louvain strongly protested and indicated that he would appeal to Rome; Albert de Rethel indignantly refused a financial settlement offered by the emperor; he went to Rome; the majority of the electors of Liège accepted the imperial decision because of the emperor's threat; Albert de Louvain arrived in Rome on April 5, 1192 and presented the matter to Pope Celestine III; the pope welcomed him, heard his case and presented it to the Roman Curia; some of the cardinals recommended caution but the majority supported Albert's claim; the pope accepted the decision and, in the Lateran palace, confirmed Albert's election after Pentecost 1192. Cardinalate. Created cardinal deacon in a consistory in May 1192; no information has been found concerning his deaconry. Sacred orders. Ordained deacon by Pope Celestine III in Rome on May 30, 1192; the pope wrote to Archbishop Bruno of Cologne (metropolitan of the bishop of Liège), asking him to consecrate Albert as bishop of Liège, and authorized the archbishop to delegate the consecration to the archbishop of Reims, if he feared to perform the ceremony himself; another letter went to the archbishop of Reims explaining the situation and authorizing him to consecrate a bishop from outside his jurisdiction; the pope also wrote to the chapter of Liège indicating his decision, asking them to support Albert and absolving them from the oaths to Lothair. Albert departed from Rome and by July 31, he was in the abbey of Lobbes in Brabant; from there he went to the monastery of Nivelles and then traveled to one of the fortresses of his uncle the duke of Limberg; in August or early September, the duke accompanied his nephew to Reims. Albert was ordained priest on Saturday September 19, 1192, in Reims, by Cardinal Guillaume aux Blanches Mains, archbishop of Reims. He received the episcopal consecration the following day from the same archbishop; he celebrated his first mas on September 21 in the cathedral of Reims. The new bishop remained in Reims the next two months; in October, three German knights arrived in Reims and became acquaintances of the bishop of Liège and won his trust on November 24, the knights persuaded Albert to take a horse ride with them outside the city walls; the three knights attacked the bishop with their swords, struck him on the head crashing his skull and making him fall to the ground, where they again attacked him to make sure that they had killed him and then escaped. Death. November 24, 1192, assassinated by three German knights near Reims, in the route to Nogent-l'Ablesse. Buried in the metropolitan cathedral of Reims. The question of who was ultimately responsible for of the bishop's death remains unanswered. His biography, Vita Alberti episcopi Leodiensis, was written, in 1194 or 1195, by a contemporary, who was a monk and secretary of the abbot of Lobbes (1). Beatification. In 1612, at the request of Archduke Albert of Brabant, who wanted to have his body in Brussels, the king of France and the archbishop of Reims allowed the translation of the relics of Albert to Brussels; they were exhumed on October 20 and transferred to that city (by error, it was the remains of Archbishop Odalric of Reims that were taken to Brussels; the error of the canons of the cathedral chapter of Reims may be explained by the several modifications that had taken place in the cathedral building) on November 22; they were solemnly received on December 11 and deposited in the church of the Carmelites. On August 9, 1613, Pope Paul V authorized his veneration in Reims and Brussels and inscribed him in the Roman Martyrology on November 21, which is believed was the anniversary of his death; he is listed as a martyr who died for the defense of the Church. On September 26, 1919, in the excavations of the cathedral of Reims, which had been devastated during the 5 Los aujòls d'Elisabèt de Brandoin - 8 First World War, Architect Henri Deneux found the real tomb of St. Albert of Liège; the relics were recognized by a commission named by Cardinal Louis-Henri Luçon, archbishop of Reims; the commission met on December 10, 1920 and August 18, 1921; the body was exhumed and, after the remains of Archbishop Odalric were transferred from Belgium on November 17, 1921, the relics of St. Albert were taken to Brussels the following November 19; they were accompanied by Jan van Cauwenbergh, titular bishop of Sinao, auxiliary and vicar general of Malines, and by Sébastien Braun, Benedictine of Maredsous, and given directly to Cardinal Desiré Mercier, archbishop of Malines; the cardinal donated a relic (an arm) of the saint to King Albert I of Belgium; and another relic to Reims, to Cardinal Luçon, on November 9, 1925.

  • Anne Couvent's Ascending Lineage to Frederick I Von Hohenstaufen
    Anne Couvent’s Ascending Lineage to Frederick I von Hohenstaufen, Barbarossa, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire Based in part on the Genealogical Research of Roland-Yves Gagné and Laurent Kokanosky, Heraldry Research and Artwork by John P. DuLong Anne Couvent came to New France from Picardy with her husband Philippe Amiot / Hameau and two sons, Jean and Mathieu, in 1636. A third child, Charles, was born in New France. In addition, her nephew, Toussaint Ledran, the son of Louis Ledran and Charlotte Couvent, also settled in New France. Many Canadians and Americans descend from one of the Couvent sisters and thus from royalty. Frederick I von Hohenstaufen, was called Barbarossa (red beard) and was a famed emperor who died on his way to fight in the Holy Land on the Third Crusade. He reigned as king of Germany (otherwise known as king of the Romans) and king of Burgundy from 1152-1190, and as emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and king of Italy from 1155 to 1190. Legend has it that Barbarossa is not really dead but is in a dormant state and that he will awake and restore Germany to its ancient glory. It is not clear if he actually used arms, but his Hohenstaufen descendants did use family arms and I have assigned what became early on the imperial arms to him in this chart. Paternal Arms Couple Maternal Arms I The Amiots were Anne Couvent and Philippe The Couvents were non-armigerous. Amiot, married about 1625, non-armigerous. probably at or near Épieds (Aisne) Picardy, she was the daughter of: II The Couvents were Antoinette de Longueval and non-armigerous.

Last week we saw the newly-installed Pope Innocent III call for a Crusade. The three most enthusiastic and wealthy young noblemen to answer the call are Count Theobald of Champagne, Count Louis of Blois and Count Baldwin of Flanders. The three young Counts held a planning meeting in the spring of the year 1200 in which they decided to sail to the Holy Land. Now, it seems at this stage that the young Counts decide to sail to Egypt instead of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. Richard the Lionheart’s campaign during the Third Crusade had shown that Egypt was central to Muslim interests, and it seems that the young Counts decided that Egypt should be the target of the Crusade. However, it's questionable whether Pope Innocent III sanctioned this new destination, and there are some indications that he may not even have known about this change. Certainly, the fact that Egypt, and not the Holy Land, was the destination was not widely advertised. In his book “God's War”, Christopher Tyerman points out that a Flemish fleet wishing to join the Crusade in 1201 sailed to the Mediterranean, but then had no idea where they were meant to be headed.

  • BYZANTINE ROYAL ANCESTRY Emperors, 578-1453
    GRANHOLM GENEALOGY BYZANTINE ROYAL ANCESTRY Emperors, 578-1453 1 INTRODUCTION During the first half of the first century Byzantium and specifically Constantinople was the most influentional and riches capital in the world. Great buildings, such as Hagia Sophia were built during these times. Despite the distances, contacts with the Scandinavians took place, in some cases cooperation against common enemies. Vikings traded with them and served in the Emperors’ Court. Sweden’s King Karl XII took refuge there for four years after the defeat in the war against Peter the Great of Russia in Poltava. Our 6th great grandfather, “ Cornelius von Loos” was with him and made drawings of many of the famous buildings in that region. The Byzantine lineages to us are shown starting fr o m different ancestors. There are many royals to whom we have a direct ancestral relationship and others who are distant cousins. These give an interesting picture of the history from those times. Wars took place among others with the Persians, which are also described in the book about our Persian Royal Ancestry. Additional text for many persons is highlighted in the following lists. This story begins with Emperor Tiberius II, (47th great grandfather) born in 520 and ends with the death of Emperor Constantine XI (15th cousin, 17 times removed) in battle in 1453. His death marked the final end of the Roman Empire, which had continued in the East for just under one thousand years after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. No relations to us, the initial Emperor of the Byzantine was Justin I , born a peasant and a swineherd by initial occupation, reigned 518 to 527.

    Twenty-ninth Generation those of England and of Ireland. It became attached to him because the chronicler Fordun called him the "Lion of Justice". Due to the terms of the Treaty of Falaise, Henry II had the right to choose William's bride. As a result, William married Ermengarde de Beaumont, a granddaughter of King Henry I of England, at Woodstock Palace in 1186. Edinburgh Castle was her dowry. The marriage was not very successful, and it was many years before she bore him an heir. King William I "The Lyon" of Scotland and Ermengarde had the following children: 1. Margaret (1193–1259), married Hubert de Burgh, 1st Earl of Kent. 2. Isabella (1195–1253), married Roger Bigod, 4th Earl of Norfolk. 3. Alexander II of Scotland (1198–1249). 4. Marjorie (1200–44), married Gilbert Marshal, 4th Earl of Pembroke. William died in Stirling in 1214 and lies buried in Arbroath Abbey. His son, Alexander II, succeeded him as king, reigning from 1214 to 1250. King William I "The Lion" of Scotland (Earl Henry of Huntingdon30, Saint David I of Scotland31_) was born 1143. King of Scotland (1165-1214). He succeeded his brother Malcolm IV. He attended Henry II of England in his Continental wars, and is supposed, while doing so, to have pressed for a portion at least of the long disputed districts of Northumberland, and other territories of what is now the north of England. In 1168 he made an alliance with France. This is the first recorded alliance between Scotland and that kingdom. In 1173 he conspired with the sons of Henry II against their father, and invaded Northumberland.

Acting in the face of problems plaguing the state in the second half of the 11th century, Alexios resorted to solutions specific to the environment of the provincial aristocracy to which he belonged. He used his family to support his power. In the 9th century, the Byzantine aristocracy began to form groups for the protection of its interests1. Such groups are often referred to as “clans”2. They were structures made up of aris- tocrats of one or more families connected through the bonds of kinship. Their purpose was to protect its common interests. The family in the Byzantine culture was strictly protected by law. Raising a hand on your own relative was considered absolutely unacceptable and was considered as crime. That’s why building a net- work of alliances through marriages was a common strategy among the Byzantine aristocracy3. Alexios I Komnenos, as a usurper taking over power in a very unfa- vourable period, full of pretenders to the throne, had to stabilize his and his fam- ily’s position on the throne.

  • Bohemia & Moravia
    BOHEMIA & MORAVIA COAT OF ARMS of BOHEMIA Bohemia, in current Czech Republic Moravia, in current Czech Republic BORIVOJ I 851-888 Borivoj I was Duke of Bohemia (851 - 888). The head of the Premyslid Czechs who dominated the environs of Prague, Borivoj in c. 870 declared himself kníe (later translated by German scholars as 'Duke') of the Czechs (Bohemians). Borivoj was recognised as such by his overlord Svatopluk I of Great Moravia around 872 who dispatched Bishop Methodius to begin the conversion of the Czechs to Christianity. Borivoj and his wife Saint Ludmila were baptised by Methodius in 874 and the latter especial- ly became an enthusiastic evangelist, although the religion failed to take root among Borivoj's subjects. Around 883 Borivoj was deposed by a revolt in support of his kinsman Strojmir, and restored only with the support of Svatopluk of Moravia. As with most of the early Bohemian rulers, Borivoj is a shadowy figure and exact dates and facts for his reign can never be considered as completely reliable, although several major fortifications and religious foundations are said to have dated from this time. In old Czech legends he is said to be son of a prince of Bohemians called Hostivít. SPYTIHNEV I - c. 1894-915 Spytihnev I (? - 915), Duke of Bohemia (894/895 - 915), was the eldest son of Borivoj I. Spytihnev is known solely for his 895 alliance with Arnulf, Duke of Bavaria, (the Diet of Augsburg) separating Bohemia from Great Moravia. Designed to protect Bohemia against the ravages of Magyar raiders, this pact also opened Bohemia to East Frankish Carolingian culture and paved the way for the eventual triumph of Roman Catholicism in Czech spiritual affairs.

  • Dungeon, Fire and Sword, the Knights Templar in the Crusades
    Dungeon, Fire, & Sword The Knights Templar in the Crusades JOHN J. ROBINSON SOLDIERS OF GOD With more colorful characters and startling plot twists than the most dramatic of novels, John J. Robinson's Dungeon, Fire, & Sword immerses the reader in an historical era where the blood flows freely, tribal antagonisms run deep, and betrayal lurks around every corner. The time is the Crusades and the place is the Middle East, where a fearless band of monk-warriors called the Knights Templar have vowed to protect Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land. The story of their faith and courage— and the horrors of their ultimate betrayal—has resonated throughout history. A vivid and gripping account of that incredible time, Dungeon, Fire, & Sword is a brilliant work of narrative history. • Separates fact from the large amount of fiction that surrounds the Knights Templar. • Offers valuable insights into the people and politics of the Middle East that are strikingly relevant today. • Filled with famous figures such as Richard the Lionhearted, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Thomas Aquinas, Marco Polo, and Genghis Khan. • Explores the question of missing Templar treasure and whether a secret succession of underground grand masters exists to this day. "Long on enthusiasm and colorful narrative...it is high adventure." — The New York Times Book Review "A dramatic, gripping history of the Knights Templar... Rich in human incident." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) 'Robinson's account ...serves as a reminder that history can be more enthralling than even the most imaginative fiction." —Booklist (starred review) "A fascinating history of an incredible time." —The Washington Times Filled with bloody battles, brutal torture, and extraordinary feats of courage and faith, John J.
