Notes

Weis' "Ancestral Roots. . ." (98A:24).

In his "Complete Peerage", Cokayne states that Isabel was given to her

husband, RALPH, as a reward for RALPH's kidnapping of his own

half-sister, AGNES (RIN 967), and giving her to Isabel's father, SIMON DE

MONTFORT as his second wife.

Cokayne also states of Isabel that "after a long widowhood, repenting

of the fatal wontonness to which she had been too much addicted in her

youth, took the veil at the priory of Haute-Bruyere and lived

praiseworthily in the fear of the Lord."

Notes

He is named among the combatants who faught in the Roman imperial

army at Mauriac, which stopped the progress of Attila the Hun in Gaul.

"Colonial & Revolutionary Lineages in America" lists him as the son of

Chlodion. "The "Dictionary of Royal Lineage" agrees. Other sources claim

that his parentage is unknown. Edward James in his book "The Franks"

mentions that the ancient historian, Gregory of Tours wrote that "some

people say" that Merovech was a descendant of Chlodion.

Couldnt help but include this humorous note:

ic posted to soc.genealogy.medieval

on 28 Nov 1996:

Subject: Re: The Merovingian are among us !!!

"Gregory of Tours says (Bk II, 9) "Some say that Meroveus father of

Childeric descends from Clodio". There is an expression of doubt here

implied by Gregory. Most genealogists however have ignored this and

made Clodio father of Meroveus. Isn't there a more interesting account in

the much later Liber Hist. Francorum (or is it Fredegar?), which says

Meroveus was conceived after his mum went swimming in the Channel

and encountered a sea serpent?
