Note: DREUX [I] de Mello, son of --- de Mello & his wife Agnes --- ([1130/40]-3 Mar 1218, bur Saint-Bris). His estimated birth date is suggested by his estimated marriage date. Given that Dreux [I] was named in 1216, it is likely that he was born during the later part of the range. "Robertus comes Mellenti" confirmed donations to Gournay Sainte-Marie made by "pater meus Galerannus comes et mater mea Agnes", in the presence of "Willelmus de Garlanda, Robertus Malusvicinus et Drogo de Mello fratres, Willelmus Malusvicinus, Manasses frater eius…", by undated charter dated to after 1166[220]. "Droco de Melloto..." witnessed the charter dated 1170 under which “Helizabet mater domini de Thocyaco” donated property to the monks of Vieupou[221]. "Drogo de Melloto et Ermengardis uxor mea" founded Vieupou priory, with the consent of “domini Guidonis de Dampetra et domini Milonis fratris sui et Guillelmi filii nostri”, by charter dated 1172[222]. “Drogo de Merloto” donated property from "Mintriaci" {Nitry, canton Noyers, arr. Tonnerre, Yonne} to La Charité-sur-Loire, for the souls of “fratris mei Roberti et Vuillelmi ibidem sepultorum”, with the consent of "domino Vuillelmo de Merloto…et uxore mea Ermengardi", by charter dated 1177[223]. Louis VII King of France confirmed the donations to La Charité-sur-Loire made by "Vuillermum de Garlanda", for the soul of “fratris sui Roberti ibidem sepulti”, and by "Drogonem de Merloto predicti Roberti fratrem pro eodem Roberto", by charter dated 1177, which records the consent of “Vuillermo de Merloto, de cujus feodo redditus iste movebat”[224]. "...Narjodus de Tociaco, Drogo de Merlo, Guido de Guarlanda..." witnessed the charter dated 1184 under which Pierre Comte de Nevers donated property to Pontigny[225]. "Narjotus de Tuciaco, Drogo de Mello..." witnessed the charter dated 1186 under which Pierre Comte de Nevers donated property to Crisenon[226]. "Droco de Merlo" donated vines “apud Irenci” to Pontigny, with the consent of “uxoris mee Ermenjardis...et filii mei Guillelmi”, by charter dated [Jul] 1190[227]. Connétable de France 1191. Pierre Comte de Nevers granted privileges to the inhabitants of Auxerre by charter dated 1194 which records the presence of "barones mei, Philippus dominus Giemi, Drogo de Merloto, Gaufridus senescallus meus, Iterius de Tociaco Autisiodorensis vicecomes..."[228]. "Droco de Melloto" exchanged property with the abbey of Saint-Jean de Sens by charter dated 1196[229]. “Dreux de Mello connétable de France” confirmed an agreement between Villeloin abbey and “Jehanne femme de feu Maurice Rimbaut” concerning a donation she had made, by undated charter1[230]. "Drogo de Merlot" reached agreement with Raoul abbé de Saint-Germain about “nemore Magne Bruerie...et...Montbolum” by charter dated 1203[231]. “Drocho de Merloto miles et...Willelmus filius eius” attested a donation to Saint-Germain made by “D. uxor Hugonis militis de Chevannis” by charter dated Apr 1208[232]. “Droco de Merloto senior”, on the point of leaving for Jerusalem “apud domum suam de Belca” {Beauche} in the presence of “filiis suis Willelmo et Drocone juniore”, recorded that the men of Saint-Maurice did not have the right to use the wood of Saint-Aubin-Château-Neuf by charter dated 1216[233]. Père Anselme records that his death 3 Mar 1218 is recorded on his tomb in the church of Saint-Bris[234].
m firstly (1161 or before) --- de Moncy, daughter of DREUX [II] de Moncy & his wife Basilie --- (-before 1172). The History of Louis VII King of France records that "Nivilo de Petrafonte et Drogo de Merloto" had married "duas filias Drogonis de Monceio"[235]. The chronology suggests that this was not the same person as Dreux’s wife Ermengarde.
m secondly ([1172]) as her second husband, ERMENGARDE, separated wife/widow of GUILLAUME [I] Seigneur de Dampierre, daughter of --- (-after Jul 1190). Her first marriage is indicated by the charter dated Feb 1211 (O.S.) under which “Gui de Dampierre frère dudit Dreu” guaranteed the loyalty of “Dreu de Mello le jeune”[236]. It is also suggested by the charter dated 1172 under which "Drogo de Melloto et Ermengardis uxor mea" founded Vieupou priory, with the consent of “domini Guidonis de Dampetra et domini Milonis fratris sui et Guillelmi filii nostri”[237]. Another indication is the charter dated Dec 1223 under which “Willelmus dominus de Dampetra” swore allegiance to Thibaut IV Comte de Champagne, naming “...dominum Willelmum, dominum Droconem de Merloto avunculos meos...”[238]. That charter also indicates that both Guillaume [I] de Mello and Dreux de Mello were sons of Ermengarde. If the charters quoted here and under her supposed first husband are correctly dated, Ermengarde must have separated from her first husband. “Drogo de Merloto” donated property from "Mintriaci" {Nitry, canton Noyers, arr. Tonnerre, Yonne} to La Charité-sur-Loire, for the soul of “fratris mei Roberti et Vuillelmi ibidem sepultorum”, with the consent of "domino Vuillelmo de Merloto…et uxore mea Ermengardi", by charter dated 1177[239]. "Droco de Merlo" donated vines “apud Irenci” to Pontigny, with the consent of “uxoris mee Ermenjardis...et filii mei Guillelmi”, by charter dated [Jul] 1190[240].
Dreux [I] & his second wife had [four] children:
1. GUILLAUME [I] de Mello ([1172]-after Jan 1243).
2. DREUX de Mello (after 1172-Cyprus 8 Jan 1249). Seigneur de Loches.
