Elisabeth of Nassau-Dillenburg
Countess Elisabeth of Nassau- Dillenburg( born 25 September 1542 in Dillenburg – died: 18 November 1603 in Dillenburg) was a daughter of William I, Count of Nassau- Dillenburg and Juliana of Stolberg and was one of the sisters of William the Silent.
William, Count of Sully
William the Simple (– c. 1150) was Count of Blois and Count of Chartres from 1102 to 1107, and jure uxoris Count of Sully.
William was the eldest son of Stephen-Henry, Count of Blois and Adela of Normandy, daughter of William the Conqueror.
He was the older brother of Theobald II, Count of Champagne, King Stephen of England and Henry, Bishop of Winchester.
In the absence of male issue to Henry I, William was the eldest legitimate grandson of William the Conqueror.
He would thus have been the principal rival to Henry's daughter Matilda to inherit the throne after Henry's death.
However, he was not considered as a candidate for the English crown.
Several historians have taken the view that he was passed over because of mental deficiency; hence his soubriquet "William the Simple".
Though widely argued, this has never been clearly substantiated.
William was at first groomed to inherit the comital thrones of Blois and Chartres, and was designated count shortly before his father's departure on his second crusade in 1102.
However he was soon removed from wide-ranging comital duties by his mother, because of his erratic behaviour.
He once assaulted and threatened to kill the Bishop of Chartres over a jurisdictional dispute.
So, when her second son Theobald came of age, around 1107, Adela elevated him to the position of count of Blois-Chartres, and forced William to retire to his wife's lands in Sully.
Stephen, Count of Blois
Stephen II Henry (in French, "Étienne Henri", in Medieval French, "Estienne Henri"; – 19 May 1102), Count of Blois and Count of Chartres, was the son of Theobald III, count of Blois, and Gersent of Le Mans.
He is numbered Stephen II after Stephen I, Count of Troyes.
In 1089, upon the death of his father, he became the Count of Blois and Chartres, although Theobald had given him the administration of those holdings in 1074.
He was the father of Stephen of England.
Count Stephen was one of the leaders of the First Crusade, leading one of the major armies of the Princes and often writing enthusiastic letters to his wife Adela of Normandy about the crusade's progress.
Stephen was the head of the army council at the Crusaders' siege of Nicaea in 1097.
He returned home in 1098 during the lengthy siege of Antioch, fleeing the battlefield, without having fulfilled his crusading vow to forge a way to Jerusalem.
He was pressured by Adela into making a second pilgrimage, and joined the minor crusade of 1101 in the company of others who had also returned home prematurely.
In 1102, Stephen was killed at the Second Battle of Ramla at the age of fifty-seven.
