♀Beatrice de Builly
Dates not yet known.
Beatrice de Builly was the first wife of William of EuW, Count of Eu in Normandy and lord of Hastings in England, and the mother of his heir, Henry. She was the twenty-sixth great-grandmother of Nancy Jane Blanchard (1929–2006), through her son Henry of Eu (died 1140).
She is said to have been a sister of Roger de Builly, lord of Tickhill in Yorkshire. Her marriage to William, who rebelled against King William II and was charged with treason at the Council of Salisbury in January 1095/6, made her Countess of Eu. Beatrice’s son Henry succeeded his father as Count of Eu.
Notes
Sources
Beatrice’s brother, her marriage to William and her son Henry are given in the Complete Peerage (2nd edition, vol. 5, 1926, under Eu, pp. 154–155), which names her Countess of Eu and William’s first wife. The entry is a compiled one, and the descent from her to Nancy Jane Blanchard rests on the compiled pedigrees that carry the line back through Henry of Eu. Her dates of birth and death are not given.
