Origin

Beaugency Lords
Lancelin I - 1020 to 1067
Lancelin I receives Beaugency as a fief, likely from Count Fulk Nerra of Anjou for his services and competence as a warrior and his skill in navigating the political minefield of Medieval France. He becomes Beaugencys first senior (lord) which was initially a wooden structure likely erected at Beaugency to provide fortification due to its location. Lancelin marries Paula, the daughter of the count of Maine. In 1050 Beaugency castle is rebuilt in stone, further cementing its strategic importance. Lancelin I was not from a distinguished bloodline but was skilled in the politics to the day and was able to cement alliances with powerful men.
Lancelin I and Paul have the following children, all of who become prominent members of noble medieval society:
- Agnes - Marries Viscount Robert II of Blois. This marriage politically ties the Beaugency family with the Counts of Chartres.
