  === Life Sketch ===
  The house of Rochechouart is authored by Aimery I of Rochechouart, from the house of Limoges, founded by Foulques or Foucher de Limoges, faithful to Charles II the Bald, settled in Limousin.
  
  The first individual to bear the title of Lemovicensis ("de Limoges" or "du Limousin") is Aldebert or Hildebert, cited between 875 and 904. Aldebert's son, Hildegaire, was the first to bear the title of "Viscount of Limousins" (Lemovicinorum vicecomes), between 914 and the end of the 930s.
  
  The elder branch of the Viscounts of Limoges was merged in 1290 into the house of Dreux-Bretagne (1290-1384) which became Viscount of Limoges, then into that of Blois-Châtillon (1384-1481), and finally into the house of Albret (1484-1572).
  
  In 980, Aimery de Limoges, fourth son of Viscount Géraud, married Eve Taillefer, daughter of William II, Count of Angoulême. The man nicknamed Ostofrancus, for having fought the Germans in eastern France, received the lands of Rochechouart as a dowry. He took the name of Aimery de Rochechouart and became the first viscount of Rochechouart, a title he transmitted in 1036 to his son Aimery II (assassinated in 1049 in unspecified circumstances3).
  
  In 1096, Viscount Aimery IV joined the call for the First Crusade and participated in the capture of Jerusalem in 1099 alongside Godfrey de Bouillon. In 1146, his son Aimery V accompanied King Louis VII on the Second Crusade.
  
  It was probably in the time of Viscount Aimery VI that the fortifications of the city of Rochechouart were built and that the castle, of which only the keep remains, began to be built.3 Viscount Aimery VII of Rochechouart is, with his wife Alix, the protagonist of a legend known as Alix and the Lion.
  
  In 1296, Aimery XI de Rochechouart promulgated a charter of emancipation that abolished direct taxes (size and collection) and manual chores, and gave Rochechouart the status of a city. The city is now administered by four consuls who choose their successors themselves, without the intervention of the lord. Residents are granted the right to dispose of their property, build on their land, move outside the city walls at will, engage in all kinds of trade, import and export what they want. The charter of Aimery XI will remain in force until 1789.
  
  House of Rochechouart
  Proving its filiation since the year 980, the house of Rochechouart is considered the oldest surviving French nobility family in France after the Capetians. Its members Rochechouart and Mortemart rema

   Note: HILDEGAIRE (-[943/47]). Vicomte de Limoges. “Eldegarius vicecomes” donated property “in pago Limovicino in vicaria Limovicense...alodem meum...Cavaliacus” to Limoges Saint-Etienne, for the souls of “Aldeberti vicecomiti patri meo necnon et matri meæ...Adaltrude seu Petroni abbati consobrino meo”, by charter dated 1 May 914, signed by “Aldegarii vicecomitis”[579]. “Dedane...Helie, Eldegarii, Fulcherii, Gerao, Ingelberti, Gozberti, Guillebaldi” signed the charter dated 920 under which “Deda femina” donated property “in pago Limovicensi in vicaria Novicense in villa...Adiola” to Limoges Saint-Etienne, for the soul of “Hildeberti conjugis mei” and for the damage caused to the church by “filius noster Hildebertus abba”, with the consent of “filio meo Helia”[580]. The third, fourth and fifth signatories could have been the donor’s stepchildren. “Eldegarii vicecomiti...” witnessed the charter dated Nov 922 under which “Landricus et uxor mea...Ildia” donated property “in pago Limovicino...de Lemovicas civitate in pago Jucunciaco manso...Pereto” to Limoges Saint-Etienne[581]. "Hildegrius Lemouicinorum vicecomes et uxor illius Tetberga" returned "la ville d’Athee" to Tours Saint-Martin in return for "la villa de Brigeuil", by charter dated in the compilation to 884[582]. Roblin states this document should be redated to [923/26][583]. Turpion Bishop of Limoges donated “villam...Bacallaria...et...unum mansum in curte Wulteziaco in villa...Parciacus”, with the consent of “nostris consanguineis seu optimatibus Limovicensi pago...Hildegario vicecomite, Rainaldo vicecomite, Archambaldo, Ademaro”, by charter dated to [936/42][584]. “Ramnulfus” sold property “in urbe Biturcico in vicaria Dunense in villa...Duno” to “Eldejere vescommite et ucxore sua...Tecbergane et Giraldo filium nostrum” by charter dated 15 Mar 941[585]. “Eldegarius vicecomes et uxor mea Teotberga et filii nostri Giraldus et Eldebertus” donated “mansos novem in pago Limovicino vicaria Mansiacense in villa...Benaias” to Limoges Saint-Marcial by charter dated to after 943[586]. [A fragmentary chronicle of the dukes of Aquitaine records a dispute between “vicecomes Ebles de Thoarcio” and “Ademaro in Lemovicensi pago”, dating it to “defuncto Hildegario vicecomite”[587]. Fage points out that Lasteyrie has dated this conflict to 963, and suggests that Vicomte Hildegaire’s death should be dated to shortly before this date[588]. However, this “fragmentary chronicle” is one of a series (discussed in the introduction to the section Du Puy-du-Fou in the document AQUITAINE DUKES) which provide the basis for the genealogy of the Puy-du-Fou family which, according to Richard, was fabricated by René du Puy-du-Fou (and therefore presumably dated to the 1620s/1630s) who also fabricated a chronicle in latin as the supposed primary source which was first published by Augustin du Paz in his Table généalogique de la maison Du Puy-du-Fou in 1639[589]. Parts of these spurious documents include details which can be verified against other primary sources, so the boundaries between historical accuracy and fabrication are difficult to determine. Until more corroboration emerges, it is suggested that this proposed date of death of Vicomte Hildegaire should be treated with caution. m THIBERGE, daughter of --- (-after 943). "Hildegrius Lemouicinorum vicecomes et uxor illius Tetberga" returned "la ville d’Athee" to Tours Saint-Martin in return for "la villa de Brigeuil", by charter dated in the compilation to 884[590]. Roblin states this document should be redated to [923/26][591]. “Ramnulfus” sold property “in urbe Biturcico in vicaria Dunense in villa...Duno” to “Eldejere vescommite et ucxore sua...Tecbergane et Giraldo filium nostrum” by charter dated 15 Mar 941[592]. “Eldegarius vicecomes et uxor mea Teotberga et filii nostri Giraldus et Eldebertus” donated “mansos novem in pago Limovicino vicaria Mansiacense in villa...Benaias” to Limoges Saint-Marcial by charter dated to after 943[593]. Vicomte Hildegaire & his wife had two children: i) GERAUD (-988). “Ramnulfus” sold property “in urbe Biturcico in vicaria Dunense in villa...Duno” to “Eldejere vescommite et ucxore sua...Tecbergane et Giraldo filium nostrum” by charter dated 15 Mar 941[594]. Vicomte de Limoges 974. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis names "Geraldus" as successor of "Fulcherius" in the viscounty of Limoges[595]. ii) HILDEBERT [Audebert] (-after 943). “Eldegarius vicecomes et uxor mea Teotberga et filii nostri Giraldus et Eldebertus” donated “mansos novem in pago Limovicino vicaria Mansiacense in villa...Benaias” to Limoges Saint-Marcial by charter dated to after 943[596].
