Genealogy of Guillaume de gellone

the Princes Crusade

In what has become known as the Princes' Crusade, members of the high nobility and their followers embarked in late-summer 1096 and arrived at Constantinople between November and April the following year. This was a large feudal host led by notable Western European princes: southern French forces under Raymond IV of Toulouse (c. 1041 – 1105) and Adhemar of Le Puy (d. 1098); men from Upper and Lower Lorraine led by Godfrey of Bouillon (1060 – 1100) and his brother Baldwin of Boulogne (1060s – 1118); Italo-Norman forces led by Bohemond of Taranto (c. 1054 – 1111) and his nephew Tancred; as well as various contingents consisting of northern French and Flemish forces under Robert Curthose (Robert II of Normandy, c. 1051 – 1134), the eldest son of William the Conqueror, along with his brother-in-law Stephen of Blois (c. 1045 – 19 May 1102), Hugh of Vermandois (1057 – 1101), and Robert II of Flanders (c. 1065 – 1111). In total and including non-combatants, the forces are estimated to have numbered as many as 100,000.

These families, who were descended from Guillaume de Gellone (c. 755 – 812 or 814), the medieval William of Orange, adopted the legend of the female-dragon Melusine, who was claimed as an ancestress of the houses of Anjou, Luxembourg, Plantagenet and Lusignan. According to the research of Arthur Zuckerman, as popularized by The Holy Blood, Holy Grail, Guillaume was the son of Rabbi Makhir, or Thierry, called Aymery in the Medieval romances. Makhir ben Yehudah Zakkai of Narbonne or Makhir ben Habibai of Narbonne or Natronai ben H, abibi (725 - 765 or 793 AD) was a Babylonian-Jewish scholar and later, the supposed leader of the Jewish community of Narbonne in a region which at that time was called Septimania at the end of the eighth century. Arthur Zuckerman maintains that Makhir was actually identical with Natronai ben Habibi, an exilarch deposed and exiled in a dispute between two branches of the family of Bostanai in the late eighth century. Zuckerman further identified Makhir (Natronai) with a Maghario, Count of Narbonne (actually Viscount), and in turn with an Aymeri de Narbonne, who lived in the twelfth century but whom heroic poetry makes father of Guillaume. This William was subject of at least six major epic poems composed before the era of the Crusades, including Willehalm by Wolfram von Eschenbach, a chronicler of the search of the Grail.

The Kingdom of Jerusalem was established in the Levant immediately after the First Crusade. It lasted for almost two hundred years, from the accession of Godfrey of Bouillon in 1099 until the siege of Acre in 1291. The Armenians in Cilicia gained powerful allies among the Frankish Crusaders, whose leader, Godfrey de Bouillon, was considered a savior for the Armenians. With the Crusaders' help, the the states of Armenians secured Cilicia from the Byzantines and Turks, both by direct military actions in Cilicia and by establishing Crusader states in Antioch, Edessa, and Tripoli. In 1098, Baldwin of Boulogne left the main Crusading army, and went first south into Cilicia, then east to Edessa, where he convinced its lord, Thoros, to adopt him as son and heir. He also married Thoros' daughter, Arda of Armenia, who eventually became the first queen of Jerusalem, when his brother Godfrey of Bouillon died in 1100.

While Baldwin of Boulogne headed east from Asia Minor to set up the County of Edessa, the main army of the First Crusade continued south to besiege Antioch in late October 1097, led by led by Stephen of Blois. Adhemar of Le Puy is said to have carried the Holy Lance in the Crusaders’ desperate breakout at Antioch on 28 June 1098. The first ruler of the Principality of Antioch was Bohemond of Taranto, the son of Robert Guiscard. Bohemond I married Constance of France, the daughter of Philip I of France. The County of Tripoli, the last of the Crusader states, was founded when the Frankish Crusaders captured the region in 1109, and Bertrand of Toulouse, the son of Raymond IV of Toulouse, became the first count of Tripoli as a vassal of Baldwin I of Jerusalem. The County of Edessa passed to his cousin Baldwin II of Jerusalem (c. 1075 – 1131), who approved the founding of the Knights Templar and married Morphia of Armenia, and inspired the necrophilic legend of the Skull of Sidon.
