Vcte Ebles DE TURENNE

Béatrix DE NORMANDIE, Abbesse de Montivilliers

  • Born: Rouen, Seine-Maritime, Haute-Normandie, France
  • Married: Before 1001
  • Died: 18 Jan 1035

  Research Notes:

Guillaume of Jumièges records that Richard had two daughters “ex concubinis”, but does not name them. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records that "sorore Richardi Normannorum Ducis" was the wife of "Archambaldus Chamba-Putrida" and mother of "Ebolum" but this is difficult to sustain chronologically. The Miracles of Sainte-Foy attribute a miracle to "Lady Beatrice his [Lord Ebalus] wife…soon to lose him through divorce" involving her freeing pilgrims from captivity near Turenne. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage more precisely has not yet been identified. She returned to Normandy after her divorce and was appointed Abbess of Montivilliers [1035]. 2

  Marriage Information:

Béatrix married Vcte Ebles DE TURENNE, son of Vcte Archambaud "Jambe-Pourrie" DE COMBORN and Sulpicia DE TURENNE, before 1001. (Ebles DE TURENNE died after 1030 in Turenne, Corrèze, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France.)
