  === Life Sketch ===
  Marguerite de Sablé, Dame de Sablé (c.1179-after June 1238), was a French noblewoman and one of the wealthiest heiresses in the counties of Anjou and Maine. She was the eldest daughter of Robert de Sablé, and the wife of William des Roches, Seneschal of Anjou, who two years after his marriage to Marguerite became one of the greatest barons in Anjou and Maine, her considerable inheritance having passed to him upon her father's death in 1193.
  
  «b»Family«/b»
  Marguerite was born in about 1179, the eldest daughter of Robert de Sablé, and Clémence de Mayenne (died before 1209). Her paternal grandparents were Robert III de Sablé and Hersende, and her maternal grandparents were Geoffroy, Seigneur de Mayenne and Isabelle de Meulan (died 10 May 1220), daughter of Waleran de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Worcester, Count of Meulan, and Agnès de Montfort.
  
  Marguerite had a brother Robert who died as a child, and a younger sister, Philippa, wife of Geoffroy Marteau. Her maternal uncle was Juhel III de Mayenne (1168- 12 April 1220), a celebrated Crusader.
  
  Her father was a Grand Master of the Knights Templar (1191-1193), and Lord of Cyprus (1191-1192); he was also a wealthy and powerful Angevin baron and landowner. Upon his death in the Holy Land on 23 September 1193, the lordships and lands, mostly in the River Sarthe valley passed to Marguerite, making her one of the wealthiest heiresses in Anjou and Maine. However, her honours and vast landholdings went to her husband, whom she had married two years earlier.
  
  «b»Marriage and issue«/b»
  In 1191, Marguerite became the second wife of William des Roches, Seneschal of Anjou; a knight during the Third Crusade in the service of the Angevin kings of England and King Philip II of France. He was the son of Baudoin des Roches and Alix de Châtellerault. His first wife, Philippa had died childless. Upon the death of her father in 1193, Marguerite, being the eldest daughter had consequently succeeded him. She brought to William the lordships of Sablé, La Suze, Briollay, Mayet, Loupeland, Genneteil, Precigné, and the Norman manor of Agon; this made him one of the greatest barons in Anjou and Maine.
  
  Together William and Marguerite had three children:
  
  1.) Robert des Roches ( died 1204)
  
  2.) Jeanne des Roches (c.1195- 28 September 1238), married Amaury I, Sire de Craon, by whom she had issue including a son Maurice IV de Craon, Sire de Craon (1213-1250), who married Isabelle de Lusignan, a half-sister of King Henry III of England; and two daughters, Jeanne, and Isabelle (born 1212), wife of Raoul III, Sire de Fougères.
  
  3.) Clémence des Roches (died after September 1259), married firstly Theobald VI, Count of Blois; and secondly Geoffrey VI, Viscount de Chateaudun, by whom she had issue, including a daughter, Jeanne, Dame de Chateaudun

  Marguerite died sometime after June 1238, and she was buried in Perray-aux-Nonnains.

Born about 1160, his origins are unknown but he is taken to be from the same family of knightly status in or near Château-du-Loir that produced his contemporary Peter des Roches, the Bishop of Winchester. During the summer of 1201, William married Marguerite de Sablé. The seneschal died in 1222 and his eldest daughter, Jeanne brought the Sable barony and the hereditary seneschalship to her husband, Amauri de Craon.

The Chronicon Turonense Magnum records the death in 1222 of "Guillelmus de Rupibus senescallus Andigavensis" and his burial "in ecclesia monialium Cistercensis ordinis…Bonus Locus" which he had founded "juxta Castrum Lidi"[400]. m firstly PHILIPPA, daughter of --- & his wife Hilaire ---. m secondly ([1191]) MARGUERITE de Sablé, daughter of ROBERT [IV] Seigneur de Sablé [Nevers] & his wife Clémence de Mayenne (-after Jun 1238, bur Perray-aux-Nonnains). The 13th century Histoire des ducs de Normandie et des rois d´Angleterre records that "Guillaume des Roces" married "la dame de Sabluel"[401]. "Margarita domina Sabolii" confirmed donations to Fontaine-Daniel by "avunculi mei domini Juhelli de Meduana" by charter dated 1205[402]. An enquiry dated to [1340] records that "Missires Robert de Sableuil" had two daughters married to "Messire Guillaume des Roches…l´ainznée…Misire Jeufroy Marciau…l´autre"[403].
