Adelaide Of Normandy
Adelaide of Normandy (or Adeliza) ( 1030 – bef. 1090) was the ruling Countess of Aumale in her own right in 1069–1087. She was the sister of William the Conqueror. Life Born 1030, Adelaide was an illegitimate daughter of the Norman duke Robert the Magnificent. Adelaide's brother or half-brother, Robert's son and successor William the Conqueror, was likewise illegitimate.The question of who her mother was remains unsettled. Elisabeth van Houts Les femmes dans l'histoire du duché de Normandie', ''Tabularia « Études »'', n° 2, 2002, (10 July 2002), p. 23, n. 22makes the argument that Robert of Torigny in the '' GND II, p. 272'' (one of three mentions in this volume of her being William's sister) calls her in this instance William's 'uterine' sister' (''soror uterina'') and is of the opinion this is a mistake similar to one he made regarding Richard II, Duke of Normandy and his paternal half-brother William, Count of Eu (calling them 'uterine' brothers).

Enguerrand II, Count Of Ponthieu

Bresle (river)
The Bresle (; ) is a river in the northwest of France that flows into the English Channel at Le Tréport. It crosses the departements of Oise, Somme (department), Somme and Seine-Maritime. It is long. Introduction For a long time, the course of the Bresle (especially the lower part) has had the role of a natural national frontier, serving as the boundary between powerful and often antagonistic political entities.

Today, the half-Normandy, Norman, half-Picardy verdant, lake-filled valley carries on its traditional quality glass industry that started in the Middle Ages. The presence of numerous small enterprises dotted around the small towns and villages along its banks hasn't ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

William of Talou had built a strong castle at Arques, and from it (in 1053) he defied his nephew the youthful Duke of Normandy. As "family", the comital house of Ponthieu supported the rebellion.

Dower

It was settlement (law), settled on the bride (being given into trust instrument, trust) by agreement at the time of the wedding, or as provided by law.

The emperor's death the following year ended a remarkably smooth and harmonious transition process towards Henry's sovereign rule, that was rather uncharacteristic for the Ottonian dynasty, Ottonian and Salian dynasty, Salian monarchs. Henry succeeded Conrad II as Duke of Carinthia and King of Italy and continued to pursue his father's political course on the basis of ''virtus et probitas'' (courage and honesty), which led to an unprecedented sacral exaltation of the kingship. In 1046 Henry ended the History of the papacy (1048–1257), papal s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Annul
Annulment is a legal procedure within secular and religious legal systems for declaring a marriage null and void. Unlike divorce, it is usually retroactive, meaning that an annulled marriage is considered to be invalid from the beginning almost as if it had never taken place. In legal terminology, an annulment makes a void marriage or a voidable marriage null.John L. Esposito (2002), Women in Muslim Family Law, Syracuse University Press, , pp. 33–34 Void vs voidable marriage A difference exists between a ''void marriage'' and a ''voidable marriage''. A void marriage is a marriage that was not legally valid under the laws of the jurisdiction where the marriage occurred, and is void ''ab initio''. Although the marriage is void as a matter of law, in some jurisdictions an annulment is required to establish that the marriage is void or may be sought in order to obtain formal documentation that the marriage was voided. Under the laws of most nations, children born during a vo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
