Manassès III, comte de Réthel 1

  • Born: Rethel, Ardennes, Champagne-Ardenne, France
  • Married: Between 1045 and 1055
  • Died: 1081 or after

  Research Notes:

[It] appears unlikely that Manassès [III] was the son of Manassès [II]. It is more likely that there was an intervening generation, about which no information has been uncovered in the primary sources so far consulted.

Comte de Rethel. The Gesta Episcoporum Virdunensium names "Manassem comitem de castro Retexto" in an undated passage which appears to relate to events in the early 1080s. A charter dated 26 Sep 1081 records the restoration of privileges granted by “Manasses Regitestensis comes”, with the consent of “uxore Judiz et venerabili Hugone filio”, to the chapter of Braux. 2

  Marriage Information:

Manassès married Judith between 1045 and 1055. (Judith was born between 1020 and 1030.)
