Beaugency
Beaugency (French pronunciation: [boʒɑ̃si] ⓘ) is a commune in the Loiret department, Centre-Val de Loire, north-central France. It is located on the Loire river, upriver (northeast) from Blois and downriver from Orléans.
Medieval
Aaron ben Joseph of Beaugency and Eliezer of Beaugency were Bible commentators and rabbinical scholars, who flourished in the twelfth century in the city.
Lords of Beaugency
The lords of Beaugency attained considerable importance in the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries; at the end of the 13th century they sold the fiefdom to the Crown. They were responsible for building Château de Beaugency, which as originally a wooden structure, later replaced with a stone one by Lancelin I de Beaugency, the first lord of Beaugency. The massive original keep is today a ruined shell, surrounded by a mansion built later on in the 14th century.
The family that became the lords or Seigneurs of Beaugency started with Landry sore. His son Lancelin I established the family as the Seigneurs and accordingly they took the last name 'de Beaugency' (of Beaugency) which was a common practise among the nobility.
Lancelin I replaced the wooden castle with a stone one.
Jean de la Flèche, a younger son of Lancelin I de Beaugency, was born at the castle and later succeeded his father as the second lord of La Flèche. He was also granted lands in Yorkshire, England by William the Conqueror and some of his decedents settled there and became the Fletcher family. He Married Paula of Maine and they were father to Elias I, Count of Maine, grandfather to King Henry II of England.
