♂Guillaume de Champagne
Dates not yet known.
Guillaume de Champagne was a French nobleman of the twelfth century and the father of Margaret de Sully, Countess of Eu. He was the twenty-sixth great-grandfather of Nancy Jane Blanchard (1929–2006), through his daughter Margaret de Sully (died about 1145).
He is said to have been the eldest son of Etienne de BloisW, Count of Champagne, Brie, Blois and Chartres, and a brother of King Stephen of England. He bore the title Sire de Sully, and his wife, Agnes de Sully, was the younger daughter and sole heir of Gilon de Sully, Sire de Sully-sur-Loire. Their daughter Margaret married Henry, Count of Eu, as his third wife, and was the mother of John of Eu.
Notes
Sources
Guillaume’s parentage, his title, his marriage to Agnes and their daughter Margaret are given in the Complete Peerage (2nd edition, vol. 5, 1926, under Eu, p. 156), in the account of Henry, Count of Eu: Henry “m., 3rdly, Margaret, da. of Guillaume de Champagne, Sire de Sully (br. of King Stephen, and 1st s. of Etienne, Count of Champagne, Brie, Blois, and Chartres) by Agnes”. His mother’s name is not known, and the peerage gives no dates or places for Guillaume’s own life.
Margaret’s descent
The line from Margaret to Nancy Jane Blanchard runs through her son John of Eu; see the page for Margaret de Sully.
