ADAM [II] de Villebéon (-14 Sep 1264, bur Jard). "Petrus de Villabeonis dictus Cambellanus et Gilo de Montiniaco milites" executors of the testament of “defuncti Guillelmi de Villabeon dicti Cambellani” notified a bequest to Jard, with the support of "Adam frater uterinus Guillelmi", by charter dated 1243[607]. "Adans li Chambellens chevaliers sires de Menig Aubéri" submitted a dispute with “mon segneur Ansiau de Gallande” concerning “la grant joustice de Chatres et de la Houssaie” to arbitration by charter dated 21 Apr 1261[608]. The necrology of the Abbaye du Jard records the death "XVIII Kal Oct" of "domini Ade cambellani primogeniti domini de Villabeonis"[609]. Richemond quotes his epitaph which records the death 1264 “le dimanche empres. la. Sat Anbraiche” of “Monseigneur Adam le Chambellan laine qui fu fiz Monseigneur Adam chambellan de France seignour de Villebeon”[610].

m (before 1240) ALIX, daughter of --- (-5 Mar

---

). Richemond suggests that she was Alix de Garlande, daughter of Anseau de Garlande & his wife Alix ---, which would explain the dispute Alix’s husband and Anseau de Garlande (see above) over property which would have formed part of her dowry[611]. The necrology of the Abbaye du Jard records the death "III Non Mar" of "domine Aalidis, quondam uxoris domini Ade cambellani, primogeniti de Villabeonis" and her donation[612]. Adam [II] & his wife had one child:

i) ISABELLE de Villebéon (1240-before 1282). Her parentage is indicated by the two following documents. The first document establishes that Robert [II]’s second wife was called “Isabelle” but not her family origin: “Ingelrannus Couciaci, Montis-mirabilis et Oysiaci dominus“ noted an agreement with Cluny regarding property “in castellania de Feritate Angulsi“ donated to Grandpré Sainte-Marie, reserving rights of “Robertum de Drocis et...Ysabellam eius uxorem...ratione dotis”, with the consent of “Maria domina de Fera mater predicti Ingelranni“, by charter dated Jun 1265[613]. The second document provides an earlier reference to the property named in the first document: a charter dated 1 Mar 1262 (O.S.?) records an agreement between “Ysabeau de Villebeon Dame de la Chapelle en Brie, veuve de feu Monsieur Mathieu Seigneur de Montmirail et d‘Oisy“ and “Monsieur Enguerran Sire de Coucy” regarding her dowry from property at “la Ferté-Ancoul, Raumesnil, Chasteauthierry, Challons et autres“[614]. Kerrebrouck, presumably linking these two documents, states that Robert [II]’s second wife was Isabelle de Villebéon, widow of Mathieu Seigneur de Montmirail[615]. However, the following charter indicates that the widow of Mathieu de Montmirail was still alive in 1265, after the estimated date of Robert [II]’s second marriage: "Ysabiaus dame de la Chapelle" confirmed an agreement with Barbeau abbey made during the lifetime of “Mahys chevaliers sires de Monmirail et d’Oysi mes sires”, confirmed by “mon...frere et seigneur monseigneur Pierre le Chambellan” by charter dated Jan 1265[616]. The suggestion is that the childless Isabelle, widow of Mathieu, left la Ferté-Ancoul to her niece as dowry when she married Robert [II]. Her date of death is indicated by a charter dated Sep 1282, recorded by Père Anselme in “[le] cartulaire de l’église de S. Magloire“, under which [her son] “Robert de Dreux écuyer, fils de feu Robert jadis chevalier, seigneur de Beu et d’Isabeau jadis sa femme” declared before Simon Bishop of Chartres that he was 17 years old and that he “et sa sœur Isabeau”, as orphans after the deaths of their father and mother, were brought up with his own children by Robert [IV] Comte de Dreux et de Montfort[617].

m [firstly] ([1260/62]%29 as his second wife, ROBERT de Dreux Seigneur de Bû, son of ROBERT [III] "Gasteblé" Comte de Dreux & his wife Eléonore dame de Saint-Valéry ([1217]-23 Jun, after 1265). There are indications that Isabelle may have married secondly, as his second wife, Renaud [I] Seigneur de Dargies, son of Simon [I] Seigneur de Dargies & his wife Isabelle de Mello (-[19 Mar/Dec] 1269). This is based on an, as yet, uncorroborated report that Renaud [I]’s wife was named Isabelle[618], read together with the 10 Jun 1302 Papal dispensation for the marriage of “nobili viro Auberto de Hangesto milite” [Aubert [VI] de Hangest Seigneur de Genlis] and “nobili muliere Agnete domina de Dargies” [the widow of Isabelle’s supposed son by this second marriage], because “quondam Reginaldus de Dargies olim vir predicte Agnetis” was related by 4o affinity to “ipsi Auberto”[619]. The 4o affinity relationship between the two husbands of Agnes would result as her second husband was the grandson of Isabelle de Villebéon’s first cousin, Gauthier [IV] de Villebéon[620].
