MONTMORENCY- ANCESTORS OF HUGH and his son
Richard?
OK, who were the Montmorency family? This family is one of the oldest
and most distinguished noble families in France---its first appearance
in history was Bouchard I of Montmorency in the 10th century.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Montmorency ---dna20p.205
OK, what do we know about Bouchard IV de Montmorency (1077-1132)? His third
wife was Adeliza de Clermont (1058-1117), he was her second husband.

Adelizas grandson by her first marriage was Richard de Clare (1130-1176),
a famous knight that helped capture Ireland in 1171. His nickname was Strongbow.

Herves mother has been thought by some to be Agnes Pontoise. However,
Strongbow (Adelizas grandson) claims Hervey (Adelizas son) as his
uncle.

"Herveius de Monte Mauricii" was "Ricardi comitis

"Hervey de Monte Maurice" was "Uncle to Earl Richard ..."

sons of Bouchard IV Montmorency and Adeliza de Clermont.
Herlewin (also known as Hugh) was Bishop of Leighlin 1202-1217. Old Leighlin

Richard of London (son of Hugh le Bel) is also named Le Bel, Marisco and Marsh.

------ (dna20p.59B)
It appears the landowner, famous organizer, bishop,
clerk, carrier of Kings clothes used different names (Richard of London,
Ricardo de Marisco, and Richard Marsh)---in reality he was the same person.
Here is another name he used, Richard Fleming:
RICHARD FLEMING, BISHOP OF LEIGHLIN (1217-until death
1226) IS THE SAME PERSON AS RICHARD MARSH (bishop 1217 until his death 1226)
/ RICHARD OF LONDON / RICHARD MARISCO
Richard Fleming, bishop of Leighlin, Ireland 1217 until his death in 1226--he
replaced Herlewin/Hugh, bishop of Leighlin 1202-1217.

-------dna22p.143
I believe Richard was Herlewins son. I believe Herlewin/Hugh was Herveys
brother. Herlewin/Hugh and Hervey were sons of Bouchard IV Montmorency and Adeliza
de Clermont.
Richard Fleming was bishop of Leighlin, Ireland the exact same years as Richard
Marsh was bishop of Durham, England----1217-1226. Both died 1226.

Richard Fleming after he became bishop of Leighlin, had a dispute Prior of Conall
over lands and tithes in Leix.

death in 1176.

If I am correct that Richard Marsh was the grandson of Bouchard IV and Adeliza

is very close (17.8 km) to Putiton.

The following names appear on a list of those in Ireland within 3 years of the
invasion in 1171. They include Strongbow, Richard le Fleming, and Richard
Tuite.

This is significant, because if Richard Fleming=Richard Marsh=Richard of London=Richard
le Bel, we observe that my ancestor George Beale (descendant of Richard le
Bel) worked on the plantation of Richard Tuite on St Croix ca 1765.

This Richard Tuite on St Croix was a descendant of Richard Tuite who invaded
Ireland.

DNA-
We have conducted DNA on the earliest Beale of our family that we know (George
Beale who died St Croix in 1769).
We have several good Beale matches, some of which live in the Maryland / DC
area.
...Beale belongs to I-M26 which is very typical of France...
dna22, bernie cullen tab, p.28
Haplogroup I-M26 is practically absent east of France and Italy.,[32]
while it is found at low but significant frequencies outside of Sardinia in
the Balearic Islands, Castile-León, the Basque Country, the Pyrenees,
southern and western France, and parts of the Maghreb in North Africa,
Great Britain, and Ireland. Haplogroup I-M26 appears to be the only subclade
of Haplogroup I-M170 found among the Basques, but appears to be found at somewhat
higher frequencies among the general populations of Castile-León in Spain
and Béarn in France than among the population of ethnic Basques.
dna22, bernie cullen tab, p.31
Looking back many thousands of
years, we know that you belong to Haplogroup I, which is European. And
your I2a1 (I-M26) branch is from the westernmost part of Europe, and
has been there for well over 5,000 years (scientists have found I-M26
skeletons from 5,000 years ago in southern France).
dna22, bernie cullen tab, p.8
The skeletons were from Treilles. We note Treilles is in Languedoc,
France.
dna22, bernie cullen tab, p.31
Other than these Beales, we have a one individual who is a close match, that
family matches 10 out of 12 markers.
This person is descended from Pierre Lassalle, 1700-1769 of Bearn,
France and has very similar DNA (matches 10 of 12 markers).
The de Lassalle and de Montmorency families lived in Navarre, France sometime
during the period of 1308-1789.
dna20,pd tab, p.59
Findings on MONTMORENCY family:
The Montmorency family lived at castle Grange des Pres, Pezenas, Languedoc,
France---this is 89 km NE of Treilles (where I-M26 skeletons were found).
Henry 1 de Montmorency 1534-1614 built his castle at the Grange des Pres in
Pezenasthis family were the governors of the Languedoc for a century.
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_Ier_de_Montmorency ------dna22p.44,43,42
Henry II of Montmorency took over Grange des Pres in 1614, but he was executed
in 1632. His sister Charlotte-Marguerite of Montmorency who had married Prince
of Conde took over the manor, and she becomes Dowager of Conde, Duchess of Montmorency
and Countess of Pezenas. Charlotte died 1650.
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A9zenas ------dna22p.42,47,50,51,63,64,65E,,91,95
I found a contact on-line and asked about the castles in Pezenas. I learned:
There were indeed 2 castles in Pézenas.
The medieval castle overlooking the town stood up to 1633 when it was destroyed
by Richelieu after the revolt to Languedoc against King Louis XIII. The other
castle outside the town is called la Grange des Prés, it was built
at the very end of the 16th century and was the property of the Montmorency
family and passed to the Prince of Conti. When the prince was in Pézenas
it had another famous guest: the playwright Molière, who at that time
was not famous. The castle still stands. It is a private property that
cannot be visited outside tours led by the tourist office. It has lost a lot
of its charm because of the transformations carried out in the course of centuries.

Here is an overhead view of the castle, and a street view of a plaque (at the
front gate) from Google maps showing Grange de Pres, Pezenas, France.

1)- Desclaux de Lescar was born 1747. He was a member of the Royal Musketeers.
He received into nobility of Bearn in 1775, became counselor of parliament in
1779. A marriage of one of the sisters of Jean-Jacques de Lassalle lined him
up with the Montmorency family.

Here is a court case against Desclaux de lassalle from widow Montmorency.
Desclaux is also known as Pierre de Lassalle (see 3 and 6 above).
The Montmorency family created a son through mistress Marie Lescar/Lassalle,
the son was called Antoine de Lassalle (see 4 above).
DNA suggests that the Montmorency and Lassalle families were active in the
areas of southern and western France and the Bearn area where Haplogroup I-M26
appears.
Next steps will be to attempt to locate a member of the Montmorency family (hopefully
descended from Bouchard IV) and run a DNA test to see if we have a match.
