The county of Meulan developed outside Norman territory in the Vexin near Paris. The comital family is shown in this document because the counts became vassals of the Norman dukes by the end of the 11th century, presumably in respect of territories granted to them in Normandy itself.

The county of Meulan developed outside Norman territory in the Vexin near Paris. The counts became vassals of the Norman dukes by the end of the 11th century, presumably in respect of territories granted to them in Normandy itself. Meulan may have been an important fortification prior to that time, as Guillaume de Jumièges records that "Rollo" captured “Mellenti municipium” after defeating “Rainaldus totius Franciæ dux” at the river Eure[1563], maybe dateable to [900].

1. GALERAN [I] [de Chartres], son of --- (-11 Nov before [985/87]). Comte de Meulan. m (after Oct 947) as her second husband, LIEGARDIS Ctss de Meulan et de Mantes, widow of RAOUL [II] Comte de Cambrai, daughter of --- (-12 Nov [990/91]). "Liutgarde veuve du comte Raoul" donated property to Saint-Cyr de Nevers by charter dated Oct 947[1564]. The primary source which confirms her title and second marriage has not yet been identified. Galéran [I] & his wife had one child:

a) GALERAN [II] de Meulan (-10 Apr

i) HUGUES [I] de Meulan (-after 25 Aug 1005). "…Hugo filius Waleranni comitis" are named as present in the charter dated 1035 under which "Willelmus adhuc puerulus…Roberti comitis filius" donated "Turstini villa" to the abbey of Préaux[1566]. Comte de Meulan 998. m --- de Valois, daughter of GAUTHIER [II] "le Blanc" Comte d'Amiens, de Mantes, de Valois et du Vexin & his wife Adela ---. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to the mother of "Waleranni comitis [Mellentini]" as daughter of "Gauterus Albus de Albamarla"[1567]. Yves de Chartres names "Gualterius Albus" as father of "matrem Gualeranni comitis"[1568]. Hugues & his wife had [two] children:

(a) GALERAN [III] de Meulan (-8 Dec 1069). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Waleranni comitis [Mellentini]" as son of "filia Gauterus Albus de Albamarla"[1569]. Comte de Meulan.

- see below.

(b) [daughter . Her parentage and marriage are suggested by the charter dated 1066 under which [her son] "Richardus Herluini filius, comitis Galerani Mellenti nepos" donated property to Coulombs, for the love of "fratris mei Roberti predictæ ecclesiæ abbatis, ac etiam…amitæ meæ Helvisæ reclusæ", by charter dated "apud Meullentum castrum" 1066[1570]. This assumes that the word "nepos" in this document can be interpreted in its strict sense of nephew. m HILDUIN Vicomte [de Meulan], son of HUGUES Vicomte [de Meulan] & his wife --- (-[after 1061]).]

ii) LAMBERT de Meulan . The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.

iii) EMMA de Meulan . The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified.
