101	I95	ANJOU	Ermengarde d	1018	18 Mar 1076	0	Married to count Geoffroy of Gâtinais, she was a widow by late 1045 or early 1046 when her mother Hildegarde departed for the Holy Land [Halphen (1906), 293 (act #169); Guillot (1972), 1: 102, n. 453; 2: 159 (act C 242)]. She then became the second wife of duke Robert I of Burgundy, probably not long afterward (since her daughter by that marriage was married in 1067), and died on the same day as her husband, 18 March 1076. As heiress of her brother Geoffroy II Martel, count of Anjou, Ermengarde carried the Angevin possessions to her sons Geoffroy III "le Barbu" and Foulques IV "le Rechin".	tree1
102	I7345	ANJOU	Fulk III of	970	1040	0	Celebrated as one of the first great builders of medieval castles. He constructed an estimated 100 of them, along with abbeys, across the Loire Valley in what is now France. He fought successive wars with neighbors in Brittany, Blois, Poitou and Aquitaine and traveled four times to Jerusalem on pilgrimage during the course of his life. Fulk was a natural horseman and a fearsome warrior, with a keen sense of military strategy that saw him get the better of most of his opponents. Fulk was also a devout Christian, and built, enlarged or endowed several abbeys and monasteries, such as the Abbey of Beaulieu-les-Loches, Saint-Florent-le-Vieil, Saint-Aubin, and a convent, Notre Dame de la Charité at Ronceray in Angers. Although he never learned to write, he endowed a school with revenue to provide poor students with an education. Fulk also undertook four pilgrimages to Jerusalem.	tree1
103	I2226	ANJOU	Fulk IV of	1043	14 Apr 1109	0	In 1096 Fulk wrote an incomplete history of Anjou and its rulers titled Fragmentum historiae Andegavensis or "History of Anjou." The authorship and authenticity of this work is disputed. Only the first part of the history, describing Fulk's ancestry, is still in existance. The second part, supposedly describing Fulk's own rule, has not been recovered. If he did write it, it is one of the first medieval works of history written by a layman. The younger brother of count Geoffroy III "le Barbu", Fulk rebelled against his brother and captured him in 1067, and then again in 1068, when he imprisoned his brother again (not releasing him until 1096), and assumed control of the Angevin possessions. He persuaded the French king Phillipe I to accept this arrangement by ceding his paternal heritage of Gâtinais to the king. His later years were troubled by rebellion from his elder son Geoffroy (IV) Martel, who predeceased him, and Fulk was succeeded by his second son Foulques V in 1109.	tree1

He served King Sigbert III of Austrasia (634-656) as a duke (Latin dux, a military leader) and domesticus. He was killed sometime before 679, slain in a feud by his enemy Gundewin. Through his son Pepin, Ansegisel's descendants would eventually become Frankish kings and rule over the Carolingian Empire.	tree1

With the support of the duke of Normandy, the count of Anjou, and the count of Flanders, Henry overthrew his brother. Crowned Henry I, he then pardoned Robert and granted him the duchy of Burgundy. In the meantime, however, the conflict weakened the French monarchy.	tree1

He was transferred from Berkampstead prison to Nottingham Castle in 1325, from whence he later escaped. His lands were restored in 1327 and he was made Sheriff of Rutland (1327-47), then appointed Guardian of the Coast of Essex (May 1336). He became 8th Earl of Gloucester in 1337. Hugh took part in the Siege of Dunbar, which continued until 1338 when a truce was made as the besiegers wished to accompany King Edward III on his expedition to France. Hugh was also present at the Battle of Sluys on 24 Jun 1340." (Ref: Maurice Boddy)	tree1

Her parents filed a complaint with King Edward III of England, but the King supported Stafford's actions. In compensation, the King appeased Hugh and Margaret by creating Hugh the 1st Earl of Gloucester. Margaret de Audley and Stafford married before 6 July 1336 and they subsequently had two sons and four daughters	tree1

130	I19813	AUSTIN	Elizabeth	1636	9 Feb 1704	0	Elizabeth Dicer, born Elizabeth Austin around 1650, found herself in the midst of the Salem Witch Trials, a period that cast a shadow over her family and the entire community of Cape Ann, Massachusetts. Her life, intertwined with the Tarr family through her daughter's marriage to Richard Tarr, was deeply affected by the hysteria that swept through the region. Elizabeth married William Dicer on November 20, 1664, in Salem, Massachusetts Bay Colony. The couple had two daughters, Elizabeth and Honnor. The family's life in Gloucester was typical of the era, marked by the hardships of colonial living and the ever-present fear of the unknown. This fear manifested dramatically in 1692 when the Salem Witch Trials began. As the witchcraft hysteria intensified, Elizabeth Dicer was accused alongside another Gloucester woman, Margaret Prince. On September 3, 1692, a warrant for their arrest was issued, and they were taken into custody two days later. Elizabeth's reputation had been marred by previous fines for slandering Mary English's mother, calling her "a black-mouthed witch and a thief." This history only fueled the suspicions against her. During this tumultuous period, Elizabeth's son-in-law, Richard Tarr, found himself in a challenging position. The Tarr family, like many others in Cape Ann, did not escape the widespread panic. In July 1692, Ebenezer Babson, a neighbor, and his family were tormented by mysterious nightly disturbances, leading to accusations of witchcraft against several local women, including Elizabeth Dicer. Richard Tarr's courage and sense of justice were evident when he signed a bond on December 15 for Elizabeth and another local victim of the witch trials. This act, during a time of public hysteria, is the earliest surviving document confirming his residency in Gloucester and highlights his bravery in standing against the tide of fear and suspicion. Elizabeth Dicer was eventually released on bond and never brought to trial, a stroke of luck in an era when such accusations often led to execution. She lived until February 9, 1704, witnessing the end of the witch trials and the release or acquittal of many of the accused. Elizabeth's experience during the Salem Witch Trials serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of mass hysteria and the importance of justice and due process. The story of Elizabeth Dicer and the Tarr family remains a poignant chapter in the history of Cape Ann and the Salem Witch Trials.	tree1

136	I16570	AYRES	John	Aft 1615	2 Aug 1675	0	John Ayres, born around 1615-1625 in England, was a notable figure in the early history of colonial America. His journey from England to the New World was driven by the same quest for religious freedom and opportunity that motivated many of his contemporaries during the period of the Great Puritan Migration. Upon settling in Ipswich, Massachusetts, John quickly integrated into the community, contributing to its growth and development. His marriage to Susanna Symonds solidified his position in the community, and together they raised a family, adapting to the challenges of life in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. John's life in Ipswich was marked by his active involvement in the community. He was known for his work ethic and commitment to the burgeoning town. However, the relative peace of his life in Ipswich was starkly contrasted by the events that unfolded during King Philip's War, a brutal conflict between Native American tribes and English settlers. In the summer of 1675, John Ayres found himself in the midst of this conflict. He was part of a group led by Captain Edward Hutchinson and Captain Thomas Wheeler, tasked with negotiating with the Nipmuck tribe. The delegation, seeking to ease tensions and find a peaceful resolution, traveled to a prearranged meeting spot near a swamp. However, the meeting turned into an ambush by the Nipmuck warriors, leading to a violent skirmish. John Ayres was among the eight men killed in this unexpected attack. The death of John Ayres had significant repercussions. Following the ambush, the survivors, including the wounded Captain Wheeler, retreated to Brookfield. In a desperate bid for safety, they gathered in John Ayres' tavern, which served as a makeshift fort. This building became a crucial stronghold for the settlers during the Siege of Brookfield, one of the key events of King Philip's War. The siege saw the settlers, including women and children, barricaded inside John Ayres' tavern, defending themselves against continuous attacks by the Nipmuck warriors. The tavern, being one of the sturdiest structures in the town, provided crucial refuge during this critical time. The occupants endured days of assault, with limited supplies and under constant threat, until they were eventually relieved by a colonial militia. John Ayres' untimely death and the subsequent siege at his tavern highlight the volatile and dangerous nature of life on the colonial frontier. His story is emblematic of the struggles and conflicts that characterized the early years of American colonization. The legacy of John Ayres is not only in his personal contributions to his community but also in the pivotal role his tavern played during a critical moment in the history of Brookfield and the broader context of King Philip's War.	tree1

149	I18064	BANNE	Marie Gillette	1632	9 Jun 1672	0	The Tragic Tale of the Bertault Family: In 1672, in Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, a family was ensnared in a desperate situation that led to a harrowing series of events. At the heart of this story were Gillette Bonne, her husband Jacques Bertault, and their young daughter Elizabeth. Elizabeth, at the tender age of 12, was married to Julien LaTouche, a man 18 years her senior. This union, marked by a significant age gap, soon turned into a nightmare for Elizabeth. LaTouche, known for his heavy drinking, subjected Elizabeth to physical abuse and failed to provide for her basic needs. Elizabeth often found solace and sustenance at her parents' home, escaping the torment of her marital life. Witnessing their daughter's suffering, Gillette Bonne and Jacques Bertault were driven to a state of desperation. In an attempt to rescue Elizabeth from her abusive husband, they resorted to a drastic and fatal measure. With what appeared to be Elizabeth's tacit approval, they poisoned Julien LaTouche. However, when the poison did not yield the intended result, they resorted to killing him by beating him with a garden hoe The murder of Julien LaTouche led to the arrest and trial of Gillette Bonne, Jacques Bertault, and Elizabeth. The trial revealed the extent of the family's turmoil and the desperate measures they took. Gillette Bonne and Jacques Bertault were sentenced to death by hanging, but their punishment was to be preceded by a public act of penance. They were required to beg for forgiveness on the church steps, a symbolic gesture of atonement for their crime. As further punishment, Jacques Bertault was subjected to having his arms and legs broken. This brutal punishment was not only inflicted upon Jacques but was also a psychological torment for his wife and daughter, who were forced to witness it. After this spectacle, Jacques was hanged, followed by the hanging of Gillette Bonne. Elizabeth, spared from execution due to her young age, was subjected to the traumatic experience of witnessing the execution of both her parents. This story is a poignant reminder of the harsh realities of life in New France and the extreme measures to which individuals were sometimes driven in the face of desperation and despair. It paints a vivid picture of life and justice in 17th-century Canada, and the murder and subsequent trial marked a significant moment in the region's history.	tree1
