killed at the battle of Pontleroy, 1016. He married Ildeburga
de Beauvoir-Mayenne, a younger daughter of Isamberg de
Beauvoir-Mayenne, sovereign lord of Beaufort de Pethiviers,
in Beauce. By her he was father of
"Hubert III., who founded, in 1059, the priory of St.
Leonard, near Durnetal, the castle of which he received from
the Count of Anjou. He abandoned the surname of D'Arnay,
to take that of Champagne. He married, in 1080, Elizabeth
de Mathefelon, lady of Mathefelon, in Anjou, who required
that the eldest son should take the name of Mathefelon, the
younger ones that of Champagne. By her he had H ubert IV.,
called the 'illustrious Hubert de Champagne,' from whom
descended a long line of distinguished descendants."
The following is an abridgment of Desbois' account of
the Norman family of Campion, as contained in vol. xiii.
(Supplement) : —
'• This is an ancient Norman family. Du Moulin mentions
a Sir Nicolas de Campion, Knight, who, in 1096, accompanied
Robert Duke of Normandy to the Holy Land. La Roque,
in his Histoire de la Maison de Harcourt, mentions a Mahy
de Campion, and others of the same name, who in the fourteenth
century had the honour to preside at the Exchequer of their
province.
" One of the principal branches of this house now existing
is that of Campion, of Montpoignant, near Elbeuf, in Upper
Normandy, and which estate belonged to them, from father
to son, from Sir William de Campion, Knight, seigneur
d'Esquaquelon and of Thiussime, who married, in 1480,
Francoise de Montpoignant, heiress of that property. This
branch is now represented by three brothers.
" The branch of St. Martin de Percy, in Lower Normandy,
of which the present representative has but three daughters,
has existed from 1300, when William de Campion married
the heiress of that property • but he has a cousin-german of
the same name, lord and patron of Buisson, Election de
Carentan, and another, lord of Lengrie.
