RETHEL COUNTY

[RETH321] Count Doon of Porcieo m. ?
. [RETH331] Count Manasses I of Rethel m. Odelie
. . [RETH341] Count Manasses II of Rethel m. [ROUC342] Judith de Roucy
. . . [RETH351] Count Hugh I of Rethel m. [MON3343] Melisende de Montlhery
. . . . [RETH361] Count Gervase of Rethel m. [NAMU363] Elisabeth de Namur
. . . . . [RETH373] Milicent de Rethel m2. [CAMR441] Richard de Camville of Stanton
. . . . . [RETH374] Elizabeth de Rethel m. [MARM441] Robert Marmion

33.  [RETH321] Doon, Count of Porcieo.

32.  [RETH331] Manasses I, Count of Rethel, married Odelie; died some time after 989.

31.  [RETH341] Manasses II, Count of Rethel (1032-56), married [ROUC342] Judith de Roucy (daughter of Count Gilbert, see ROUCY COUNTY). He died c.1081. [The existence of a Manasses III appears to be an error.]

30.  [RETH351] Hugh I (born c.1050), Count of Rethel (1065-1118), married [MON3343] Melisende (see MONTLHERY). He died 28th December 1118.

29.  [RETH361] Gervase (born c.1075, younger son of Hugh), Count of Rethel (1118-24), married (c.1104) [NAMU363] Elisabeth de Namur (see NAMUR COUNTY). He died 1124, and afterwards Elizabeth married 2. Sir Roger de Clerembaut de Rozoy. Elizabeth died 1144.

The last two entries imply that Elizabeth married her sister Milicent's son. There is clearly an unresolved contradiction here involving two Robert Marmion's, father and son. The Stirnet web-site favours Elizabeth marrying Robert de Marmion, and is here accepted, though it is quite likely this also is an error.
