Hervé de Gallandon

  General Notes:

HERVE [I] de Gallardon, son of ALBERT [Herbert] de Gallardon & his wife --- (-28 Nov, before 1092, bur Bonneval). His parentage is confirmed by a charter dated Dec 1207 under which Henri Archdeacon of Chartres confirmed the donation of the church of Notre-Dame de Gallardon to Bonneval abbey, which states that the original donation had been made by "Alberto eiusdem castri domino" and supplemented by "Herveus eius filius...[et] postea filii eius Hugo et Garinus et eorum successores". "Miles Herbertus...de Galardone castro" donated "alodo...in territorio Castri Dunensi...in Premetis...villa...quem mater sua Rotrudis possedit" to Chartres Saint-Père, with the consent of "filiorum suorum Hervei...atque Fulcherii et unicæ filiæ...Guiburgis" by undated charter dated to [1080] in the cartulary but this must be many years too late considering the general chronology of the Gallardon family. "...Hervei de Galerdone..." subscribed the charter dated [11 Apr 1052/Jul 1053] under which Henri I King of France confirmed the foundation of the priory of Saint-Thomas d'Epernon. An undated charter, dated to [1080] by Merlet and Clerval, which records the possessions of Chartres Saint-Père including "de Walardone...juxta eandem villa...nunc vero Herveus eius loci dominus". The necrology of Chartres Cathedral records the death "IV Kal Dec" of "Herveus de Gualardone" and his donation of "calicem aureum". A charter of his son Hugues relating to the foundation of Auneau priory records that his father was buried at Bonneval abbey.

The Vita Dominæ Hildeburgis names "Hildiburgis…de nobili prosapia in pago Carnotensi Castro Galardone exorta", her parents "pater…Herveus Castri Galardonis dominus…genetrix…Beatrix", and her husband "Roberto Ibriensi", adding that she refused to remarry after her husband died.
