Auberee De La Haye Dame de Brothoune
(984 - 24 Dec 1045)
Spouse: HUMPHREY DE VIEILLES Disc #149 Pin #2055941 Marriage: abt 1010 point-Audemer, Beaumont, Normandy, France
Onfroi de Vieilles - alias Vetulis or Vaux, lord of Vieilles, a small commune in the canton of Beaumont, arrondissement of Bernay; a centre of Crispin family influence, and of Vaux-sur-Seine, canton Meulan. Onfroi married Auberée de la Haye, obit. 28/12/1045
Her family bore three bunches of quickset, signifying a connection the Thorn Clan of Helgi, whose emblem was a thorny hedge [Martin de Albuquerque, ed. Notes and Queries, p. 413, 1861]. They had three sons: 'Rodbertus de Bellomonte, filius Unfredi.' Guillaume de Bellomonte, who gave to Saint-Léger de Préaux la forêt de Beaumont. Roger de Beaumont, alias Belomonte, Baron de Beaumesnil, who married Adeline, sister of Huges II., Comte de Meulan* [La Roque, Hist. de la M. d'Harcourt. T. III.. p. xxv.].
Roger became a monk at St. Pierre de Préaux, which was founded by his father on his own domains, which became known as Beaumont-le-Roger. This abbey was in the diocese of Lisieux, caput of the Crispin family. The land was gifted to Humphrey de Vieilles by his brother, Ralph, in his capacity of administrator of Bernay Abbey, at the behest of the ducal family, who wished to secure his support. The fief of Neuborg was obtained in the same manner [L. F. Dubois, Histoire de Lisieux, p. 53, 1845].
Humphrey de Vieilles remained loyal to the young Duke William, and, as a consequence, in 1036, had his estates plundered by those opposed to his succession, led by Roger de Toeni, descendant of Malahule. A force led by Roger de Beaumont drove the attackers back, slaying Roger de Tosni and two of his sons. Land in Bailleul-en-Vimeu was among the many endowments that Humphrey de Vieilles invested on the abbey, as evidenced by its cartulary, c. 1050.
The topographical name Beaumont was first mentioned in an act of the Abbey of St. Martin de Tours, 855, as Bellus Mons, that is, the high ground to the south of Bailleul-en-Vimeu, part of the Château Coquerel Estate. 'Coquerel is on a hill overlooking the plain Flavy-le-Martel, and is bound by a series of ridges separating the valleys of the Oise and the Somme. This hill was obviously fortified, because it is still surrounded by two deep ditches. The mound was opened, it is said, by the Templars, to search for what can not be known. For those of us who have visited and explored several times, the Coquerel tumulus is not a Celtic, but a Gallic fortress, which occupied an important strategic position' [Société Française d'Archéologie, p. 370, 1861]. A possible connection between the family of Onfroi and this region is also suggested by L'église de Lieur, arrond. Pont-Audemer, receiving tithes from the feudal manors of les Préaux, Coquerel, and Bailleuil.
