  Research Notes:

From Wikipedia - Elias I of Maine :

Elias I (also Hélie or Élie; died 11 July 1110 ), called de la Flèche or de Baugency, was the Count of Maine from 1093. He was the son of the lord of La Flèche , John de Beaugency , and his wife Paula, daughter of Herbert I, Count of Maine .

In 1093, when his cousin Hugh V died, he inherited Maine. With the support of Fulk IV of Anjou , he continued the war with Robert II of Normandy . After Robert's departure with the First Crusade , Elias made peace with William Rufus , Robert's regent in Normandy.

Elias married Matilda, daughter of Gervais, Lord of Château-du-Loir . Their daughter, Eremburg, married Fulk V of Anjou . In 1109, says Orderic Vitalis , Elias remarried to Agnes, the daughter of William VIII of Aquitaine and repudiated wife of Alfonso VI of Castile . This is perhaps confused, it being suggested that the true bride was Alfonso's widow Beatrice.

  Noted events in his life were:

• Count of Maine, 1093-1110.


Hélie married Matilda of Château-du-Loire, daughter of Gervais Lord of Château-du-Loire and Unknown.
