He was Seigneur de Maers. He built the castile of Monceaux-le-Comté. He was probably a son of Laundry II de Maers.

COMTES de NEVERS 990-1181

From Medlands

Settipani highlights, and further expands, the following family group in Poitou, suggesting possible connections with the families of Ramnulf Comte de Poitou and Audebert Vicomte de Limoges, in both of which the name "Adalgarius" is found, and with the family of the comtes de Nevers[2515].

1. ADALGER (-after Jan 880). "Adalgarius et uxor mea Aiga" donated property "in pago Caturcino in vicaria Exidense in loco…Beionis" to Beaulieu for the souls of "fratrum meorum Landrici et Eldegarii" by charter dated Jan 880, subscribed by "Rodulfi…"[2516]. m AIGA, daughter of ---. "Adalgarius et uxor mea Aiga" donated property "in pago Caturcino in vicaria Exidense in loco…Beionis" to Beaulieu for the souls of "fratrum meorum Landrici et Eldegarii" by charter dated Jan 880, subscribed by "Rodulfi…"[2517]. Adalger & his wife had three children:

a) RAOUL (-after 1 Nov 882). "Rodulfus filius quondam Adalgarii et Ayganæ [et] uxor mea Bertlindis" donated property "in pago Caturcino in villa Exidense et…Cuncellas" to Beaulieu for the souls of his parents and "fratrum meorum Landrici et Eldegarii" by charter dated 1 Nov 882[2518]. m BERTLINDIS, daughter of ---. "Rodulfus filius quondam Adalgarii et Ayganæ [et] uxor mea Bertlindis" donated property "in pago Caturcino in villa Exidense et…Cuncellas" to Beaulieu for the souls of his parents and "fratrum meorum Landrici et Eldegarii" by charter dated 1 Nov 882[2519].

b) ADALGER . "Rodulfus filius quondam Adalgarii et Ayganæ [et] uxor mea Bertlindis" donated property "in pago Caturcino in villa Exidense et…Cuncellas" to Beaulieu for the souls of his parents and "fratrum meorum Landrici et Eldegarii" by charter dated 1 Nov 882[2520].

c) LANDRY . "Rodulfus filius quondam Adalgarii et Ayganæ [et] uxor mea Bertlindis" donated property "in pago Caturcino in villa Exidense et…Cuncellas" to Beaulieu for the souls of his parents and "fratrum meorum Landrici et Eldegarii" by charter dated 1 Nov 882[2521].

[Two brothers]:

1. ADALGER [Hildegarius] (-893 or after). Chaplain of Charles "le Chauve" King of the West Franks. Bishop of Autun 875/93. Abbé de Flavigny et de Corbigny 877. Chancellor of King Boson [de Provence] 879. Abbé de Brioude 888. Chancellor of Eudes King of the Franks 892-893[2522].

2. [LANDRY [I] . It is not known whether Landry was the brother of Bishop Adalger or whether his wife Hildesinde was the bishop's sister[2523]. A supporter of Charles "le Chauve" King of the West Franks who gave him the chapel of St Aubin in the Mâconnais in 842, which Landry and his wife gave to the cathedral of Mâcon shortly after[2524], although the dating is unlikely to be correct if they were the parents of Landry [II].] m (before 868) HILDESINDE, daughter of ---. The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified. Landry [I] & his wife had [one probable child]:

a) [LANDRY [II] (-922 or after). The Historia Nivernensium Comitum names "Hildegarius episcopus Heduensis" and "nepotem…Landricum"[2525]. He acquired the castle of Metz-le-Comte from the Duke of Burgundy in [880] after distinguishing himself during its siege[2526]. "Landricus" made a donation by charter dated 11 Sep 910[2527]. 918/22. m firstly ADA, daughter of ---. "Ada coniuge Landricus" consented to the charter of "Landricus" dated 11 Sep 910[2528]. m secondly EMMA, daughter of ---. "Landrici patris mei, Emme matris mei" are named in the charter of Adalgardis dated 950[2529]. The Historia Nivernensium Comitum records that "Hildegarii nepoti Landrico" married "uxore stirpis Andegavorum"[2530], although it is not known whether this was his first or second wife.] Landry [II] & his [first/second] wife had two children:

i) LANDRY [III] (-after Nov 950). "Landrici fratris mei" is named in the charter of Adalgardis dated 950[2531]. He may have been one of the subscribers "Gisoni, Attoni, Landrici" to the charter dated Nov 950 under which "Bodo" donated property "in pago Matisconense in villa Lanco" acquired from "Rainaldo cognate meo" to Cluny[2532], but this is not certain. Seigneur de Metz-le-Comte.

ii) BODO (-after Nov 950). The Historia Nivernensium Comitum names "Bodonem" as the son of "Hildegarii nepoti Landrico" and his wife "[ex] stirpis Andegavorum", specifying that "Bodo de Montibus" was his godfather and that Bodo built "castellum…Moncellis"[2533]. Seigneur de Monceaux-le-Comte. "Bodo" donated property "in pago Matisconense in villa Lanco" acquired from "Rainaldo cognate meo" to Cluny "pro receptione filii mei" by charter dated Nov 950, subscribed by "Gisoni, Attoni, Landrici"[2534], although it is not certain that this is the same Bodo. Although the identity of "Rainaldo cognate meo" has not been established, the name suggests a family connection with the Comte de Nevers. Settipani suggests that he was related to the Comtes d'Anjou, through Bodo's mother[2535]. m ---. The name of Bodo's wife is not known. Bodo & his wife had [two] children:

(a) LANDRY [IV] (-11 May 1028). The Historia Nivernensium Comitum names "Landricus filius Bodonis"[2536]. He was invested in 990 as Comte de Nevers.

- see below.

(b) [son . He became a monk at Cluny in Nov 950, assuming that "Bodo", who donated property "in pago Matisconense in villa Lanco" acquired from "Rainaldo cognate meo" to Cluny "pro receptione filii mei" by charter of that date[2537], his father is the same as Bodo de Nevers.]

Landry [II] & his second wife had one child:

iii) ADALGARDIS [Adela] (-after 950). She names her parents in her charter dated 950, which also names her brother, husband and three sons[2538]. "…Adelæ comitissæ, Milonis comitis filii eius" subscribed the charter dated 8 Sep 975 under which "Adelelmus miles" donated property to Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire for the souls of "genitore meo Rotberto et genitrice mea Bertha et…Burcardo"[2539]. Bouchard says it is possible to identify Adela, wife of Milo, with the daughter of Humbert I Sire de Salins who was the mother of Wandelmodis and grandmother of Engelbert Comte de Brienne[2540], but this theory is disproved by the charter evidence referred to above. m MILO [I], son of --- (-before 950).
