Nice’s Nice Laugier — Wikipedia

Laughed (died around 1032), nicknamed by Nice , vence or sometimes of Orange-Mévouillon , said too Red , is an aristocrat in the country of Nice and Provence of the second half of X ^{It is} century and the beginning of the following century.

Origins [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

Laugier is a member of the first house of the Counts of Orange-Nice, like his brothers Féraud, Pierre de Mirabel, both bishops and Pons III de Mevouillon, Mevouillon rod.

Their father, Pons II de Mevouillon, precist of the church of Arles in Nyons, is confirmed by Villa Jocondis (Mornas), whose terminium had been conceded in precarious to his parents, by Archbishop Manassès d’Arles, in 954. We can therefore consider him adult at that time and he saw at least until 983 ^{[ first ]} . He receives from the Archbishop of Arles, Ithier, Villa Niomes and property in Busayrol, located in the county of Vaison. In 981, this precarious was confirmed to him by Année, successor to Ithier, as well as to his two sons Pons III and Laugier de Nice ^{[ 2 ]} . The pons who donated to Cluny Abbey in 956-957 is perhaps Pons II de Mevouillon. Indeed, the latter with his wife Richilde, from Uzège, is from Archbishop of Arles, the Abbey of Saint Marie de Goudargues ^{[ 3 ]} . Pons II de Mevouillon has eight sons who donate to Cluny Abbey in 1023. The Charter of Cluny, n ^O 2779, from May 22 1023 , given as a council in Saint-Privat, territory of Sarrians, reveals the first names of the eight brothers whose domains extend to the dioceses of Gap, Die, Vaison, Orange and Saint-Paul three castles. By this act, two of the brothers, Féraud and Pons, having determined to make a monks in Cluny, give this abbey half of the castle of Auto, the other of which was previously offered to Saint-Pierre de Cluny by their father. This liberality is carried out on the council and the consent of their brothers to whom they abandon the rest of their inheritance. These six brothers are: Féraud bishop of Gap, Pierre de Mirabel bishop of Vaison, Arnoul, Gérard, Raoul and Rambaud ^{[ 4 ]} .

Lord [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

Laugier de Nice is co -lord of Nice, Gréollières, Cagnes and Vence ^{[ 5 ]} , of his chief or because of his wife Odile Provence (that the tradition said daughter of Guillaume I ^is from Provence; In fact, it seems, Odile vence ) ^{[ 6 ]} . Laugier appears to be linked to the lineage of the Mévouillon-Orange ^{[ 7 ]} . Some historians will give him the title of viscount, although this title is never given to him in the documents.

LAUGIER from 1023 is a monk of the order of Cluny ^{[ 8 ]} .

Learned the reconquista [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

The Reconquista has a French equivalent, strangely rather unknown. When, at the end of 972, an expedition commanded by Counts Guillaume I ^is from Provence and Rotboald I ^is de Provence, helped by Ardouin (count of Turin), allows the expulsion of the Saracens of Fraxinetum, the country of Nice, like the whole of eastern Provence, appears as a land no . Land of conquest therefore, where Count Guillaume will cut fiefs from which he gratifies the people around him. The count retains the castle of Nice, including his daughter Odile de Provence and his second husband Laugier de Nice have only Castellania , as it appears from the beginning of XII ^{It is} century ^{[ 9 ]} .

Who is this Laugier? It is cited as rector of Nice in 981. In 1003, Laugier gives the cathedral of Nice a land ^{[ ten ]} . He is a co -lord of Vence around 1005, which means that he is also known as Laugier de Vence, but it should not be confused with Laugier Ruffi who defends Vence against the Saracens and who gives her daughter in ransom in 973 ^{[ 11 ]} . Laugier is still very young on this date and in 953, he may barely be born! We know that it is a rich and powerful owner of the Alps who marries in second wedding Odile de Provence, widow of Miron de Nice ^{[ twelfth ]} . He becomes a co -lord of Nice, and not viscount according to archive documents.

Laugier, from 1023, is a monk of the order of Cluny. His stepfather had given the Villa de Sarrians for the abbey to build a church. From 1023 to his death, Laugier de Nice directs the work that ends in 1037 ^{[ 8 ]} .

In 1029, a charter tells us that Laugier and Odile gave Saint-Pons Revest ^{[ 13 ]} .

In 1032, Laugier and his wife Odile donate to the monastery of Saint Véran and the church of Notre-Dame-la-Dorée, near the Loup river, diocese of Vence in 1032.

Laugier marries second wedding Odile de Provence, with whom he has four or five children ^{[ 14 ] , [ 15 ]} .

• Jauccara/Hincvara, ∞ At AMIC of Vence Avignon ^{[Ref. necessary]} .

The site Fmg retains from the documentation four children but appoints the daughter Odile, married to Conrad IV, count of Ventimille (died after 1082), relying on the Cartulary of Lérins (166 p. 161 ) ^{[ 19 ]} .

These three brothers will give the cathedral of Nice the Sainte-Marie of Olivula churches in Villefranche, Sainte-Marie de Beaulieu and Saint-Jean, near Saint-Hospice. They will also enrich the Saint-Pons monastery of Nice and the Dorade Abbey, as well as the church of Vence ^{[ 5 ]} .
