Families covered: Counts of Brienne, Seigneurs of Ramerupt
| GenEU reports that "The earliest proven ancestor is one Engelbert III de Brienne, ca 1004/18" but also shows (in file 'Flanders 1') an Engelbert I de Brienne (who d after 1068) as a son of Eudes of Cambrai, younger son of Arnulf II, Count of Flanders. Various web sites suggest that there was an intervening Engelbert II between that Engelbert I and Engelbert III. However, the dates make this look very unlikely and instead suggest that 'Engelbert III' was in fact the first Engelbert of Brienne in this family and that any earlier Engelberts of Brienne were of a different family, perhaps linked by marriage. It is possible, of course, that both are wrong and that the Brienne family were not descended from the early Counts of Flanders at all. We assume that the connection is valid but, to avoid losing the data provided by some web sites, show that data separately from the connected genealogy as follows ... | |||||||||||||||
