Notes
Source
Everything here comes from one compiled genealogy, Douglas Richardson’s Plantagenet Ancestry (volume I, England 3, p. 25), which names him as Ademar (Aimar) III Taillefer, Count of Angoulême, the husband of Alice of Courtenay and the father of Isabel. It is a compiled grade; no record of his own is cited. Burke’s Peerage (1869) calls Isabel the daughter and heiress of “Aymer Taillefer, Count of Angouleme” and the second wife of King John.
Spelling
The tree spells him Ademar; the sources write Aimar and Aymer.
