!!! NOTE !!! Per Culpeper ancestral research, the following ancestries remain unverified as being through the Culpeper line: the Malet, Poyntz, Beaumont, Vermandois, Anjou, Kievan ancestry, Byzantine ancestry, Viking ancestry, de Braiose, La Zouche, ancestry to kings of Leinster, legendary Irish ancestry and ancestry to the kings of Wales and Mercia and all the ancestries thereof. HOWEVER, there are verified lines from Hugh Capet and from Rollo down to James Arthur Johnson on this page via FitzHamon ancestry and Normandy to England ancestry. On this page, such verified lines are solid lines instead of dashed lines.

  Parentage of Eblo I: "His parentage has been the subject of much discussion and dispute, with many conflicting interpretations" (Geni.com). "Although he is traditionally considered to have been the son of his predecessor, Giselbert, Count of Roucy and Reims and an unnamed daughter of William III 'Towhead', Duke of Aquitaine, no contemporary document mentions a wife or children for Giselbert. Instead, a novel theory by Jean-Noël Mathieu resolves some inconsistencies by placing Giselbert as his matrilineal great uncle. The new study, based on onomastic data, suggests that Eble I was the son of Eble de Poitiers (son of William IV, Duke of Aquitaine and Emma of Blois) and unnamed daughter of Aubry II, Count of Mâcon and Ermentrude of Roucy, Giselbert of Roucy's sister" (WikiPedia). Eblo I
Count of Rouci and Reimes
(Ebles I of Roucy)
d. 11 May 1033		 m. before 1013; divorced after 1015. Beatrix later married Manasses "The Bold" of Rheims after 1016 (Geni.com) Béatrix de Hainaut
b.
d. after 1035		       Gilbert
(Giselbert) Crispin,
Count of Brionne
b. ca. 1000
d. ca. 1040
A number of Norman barons including Ralph de Gacé would not accept an illegitimate son as their leader. In 1040 an attempt was made to kill William but the plot failed. Gilbert however was murdered while he was peaceably riding near Eschafour. It is believed two of his killers were Ralph of Wacy and Robert de Vitot. This appears to have been an act of vengeance for the wrongs inflicted upon the orphan children of Giroie by Gilbert, and it is not clear what Ralph de Gacé had to do in the business. Fearing they might meet their father's fate, his sons Richard and his brother Baldwin were conveyed by their friends to the court of Baldwin V, Count of Flanders (source).		 m. Gonnor
