  • ID: I101530
  • Name: Guillaume I 'au Cornet' de Baux PRINCE OF ORANGE 1 2 3
  • Name: Guillaume I 'au Cornet' DE BAUX 2
  • Sex: M
  • Change Date: 04 AUG 2009
  • Birth: ABT 1150 2
  • Death: BEF 30 JUL 1218 in Avignon, Vaucluse, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France
  • Note: During the Albigensian War, Guillaume took the side of the Catholic crusaders, no doubt because he thought it more favourable to his interests and in Provence he took over the leadership of the Catholic lords. This action brought him to grief; when he fell into the hands of the heretics at Avignon they skinned him alive in 1218, before 30 July. 2
  • Event: Accedence
  • Note: Prince d'Orange 2 3 1
  • Event: Note 1215
  • Note: Guillaume was very disappointed when the Lateran Council in 1215 conferred the marquisate of Provence on the young son of Raymond VI, to whom Innocent III had taken a liking. 2
  • Event: Note 1215
  • Note: To end the anarchy in Provence, Emperor Friedrich II in 1215 considered creating some viceroys there who were devoted to him. One of these was Guillaume des Baux, who on 8 January 1215 was created viceroy of the Kingdom of Vienne and Arles (Burgundy), with the promise that he would be crowned, which never took place. The appointment was only to an empty title with no authority or influence, and was later rejected by Guillaume's heirs. 2
  • Event: Note
  • Note: Guillaume made his name with his efforts to drive the Moors out of the Rhône valley, and he earned a place in the "chansons de geste" ("songs of deeds"), a group of epic poems of medieval France written from the 11th through to the 13th centuries. 2

    7. Title: Chronological birthyear estimator
      Abbrev: chronological estimator
      Note:
      Chronological age estimator based on child's birthdate minus 20-25 years (for females), minus 30-35 years (for males) or minus a set # of years in those cases where an ancestor's birth date is known & a descendants' birth date is known (i.e. if five generations are known to have elapsed in a 150 year time interval, then the estimator is used for each generation, every 30 years). Also used for societies where children generally did not accede to kingships, etc., ascension date minus 30 years. Also used based on a known spousal birthdate, i.e. -2-4 years for females, +2-4 years for males.

    "The providence of God, which keeps up the generations of men, and so preserves that degenerate race, though guilty and obnoxious, in being upon earth. As one generation, even of sinful men, passes away, another comes (Eccl 1:4; Num 32:14), and will do so while the earth remains. Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it." --Matthew Henry
