  === Life Sketch ===
  AMEDEE de Montfaucon, son of RICHARD [II] Seigneur de Montfaucon & his wife Sophie de Montbéliard ([1125/35]-killed [Mar/May] 1195). A charter dated [10 Feb/23 Jul] 1143 records that "Richardus de Monte Falconis…et filius eius Amedeus" had returned the prévôté de Cirey to Humbert Archbishop of Besançon so he could donate it to Bellevaux abbey[20]. "Richardus de Montefalconis" donated property to the abbey of Cherlieu, with the consent of "Amedeus filius eius…Girardi Fontisvenne", by charter dated 1148, before Apr[21]. A charter dated 14 Jul 1148 records the confirmation of the donation by "dominus Richardus de Montefalchonis" to Besançon Saint-Etienne for the soul of "conjugis", with the consent of "filio eius Teodorico, ipsius ecclesiæ canonico…Amadeus et Raynaldus filii ipsius Richardi…filiæ ipsius uxor domini Gerardi de Fontevennæ et Stephania"[22]. "Dominus Richardus de Montefalconis…et filius eius Amedeus" donated property to the abbey of Lieucroissant, with the consent of "filii sui Raynaldi", by charter dated [1149][23]. He succeeded his maternal grandfather as Comte de Montbéliard in 1163. "Amedeus comes Montis Beligardis" donated property to the abbey of Belchamp, for the soul of "Ermentrudis materteræ suæ comitissæ de Rupe", with the consent of "filio suo Ricardo", by charter dated 1171, witnessed by "…Oto comes de Rupe præfate comitisse sponsus…"[24]. The Annales Marbacenses record that "Hamideus comes de Montebeligardis" was killed in Spring 1195 by "Ottone fratre imperatoris" [Othon Comte Palatin de Bourgogne][25].
  
  [m firstly ---. No direct evidence has been found to confirm this supposed first marriage. However, the dates of birth estimated for Amédée’s daughter Agnes and son Richard [III] suggest that they were not born from the same mother.]
  
  m [secondly] BEATRIX, daughter of ---. "Domina Beatrix domina de Montefalconis" donated property to the abbey of Grâce-Dieu, with the consent of "Amedei mariti mei", by charter dated to [1170][26].
  
  m [thirdly] OL---, daughter of ---. "OI. Montisbeligardis comitissa" donated property to the abbey of Grâce-Dieu, for the soul of "mariti sui Amedei comitis Bellisgardis", with the consent of "filie sue Ludovica et Grossa", by charter dated 1195[27].
  
  Amédée & his [first/second] wife had one child:
  
  1. AGNES de Montbéliard ([1150/55]-23 Oct ----, after 1186). Her parentage is indicated by William of Tyre (Continuator), who names "le conte Gautier de Briene qui fu fiz dou conte Erart de Brienne et de la fille dou conte Ami de Monbliart" and says that “Rechart le conte de Monbliart et Gautier son frere furent ses oncles de par sa mere”[28]. If that is correct, the chronology of her husband’s family suggests that Agnes was much older than her brothers. "Agnetis uxoris mee" consented to the donation by "Erardus Brenensis comes" recorded in the latter's charter dated 1166[29]. The date of this charter suggests that Agnes must have been one of her parents’s older children to have been married before that time. Her birth date range is estimated from the birth of her fourth son which is estimated to [1170/75]. This in turn suggests that she was not born from the same marriage as her brother Richard [III]. "Erardus Brenensium comes…Agnetis uxoris mee et Galterii filii mei" donated property to Basse-Fontaine by charter dated 1185[30]. "Erardus Brenensium comes" donated property to Basse-Fontaine with the consent of "Agnetis uxoris mee et Galteri et Guillelmi filiorum meorum" by charter dated 1186[31]. The necrology of Chartres cathedral records the death "X Kal Nov" of "Agnes…comitissa de Breina"[32]. m (before 1166) ERARD [II] Comte de Brienne, son of GAUTHIER [II] Comte de Brienne & his [first/second] wife Humbeline de Baudément (-8 Feb [1190/91]).

John, originally destined for an ecclesiastical career, became a knight and owned small estates in Champagne around 1200. After the death of his brother, Walter III, he ruled the County of Brienne on behalf of his minor nephew Walter IV (who lived in southern Italy)." 3/. Under the heading "Early life" : Para 1 -- "John was the youngest of the four sons of Erard II, Count of Brienne, and Agnes of Montfaucon.[1][2] He seemed "exceedingly old ... about 80"[3] to the 14-year-old George Akropolites in 1231;[4] if Akropolites' estimate was correct, John was born around 1150.[5][6] However, no other 13th-century authors described John as an old man.[5] His father referred to John's brothers as "children" in 1177 and mentioned the tutor of John's oldest brother, Walter III, in 1184; this suggests that John's brothers were born in the late 1160s.[7][8] Modern historians agree that John was born after 1168, probably during the 1170s.[9][10]" 4/. Under the heading "Family" : Para 1 -- "John's first wife (Maria the Marquise, born 1191) was the only child of Isabella I of Jerusalem and her second husband, Conrad of Montferrat.[143] Maria inherited Jerusalem from her mother in 1205.[144] John and Maria's only child, Isabella (also known as Yolanda), was born in late 1212.[29][28]. Stephanie of Armenia became John's second wife in 1214.[28] She was the only daughter of Leo II of Armenia and his first wife, Isabelle (niece of Sibylle, the third wife of Bohemond III of Antioch).[145] Stephanie gave birth to a son in 1220, but she and her son died that year.[73] John married his third wife, Berengaria of León, in 1224;[146] she was born around 1204 to Alfonso IX of León and Berengaria of Castile.[147][148] John and Berengaria's first child, Marie, was born in 1224.[97] Their first son, Alphonse, was born during the late 1220s.[84] Berengaria's cousin, Louis IX of France, made him Grand Chamberlain of France and he acquired the County of Eu in France with his marriage.[149] John's second son, Louis, was born around 1230.[84] His youngest son, John, who was born in the early 1230s, was Grand Butler of France.[150]" 5/.
