Ademar V de Limoges, Viscount of Limoges, d. 1199 |
Married |
ca. 1155 |
- "Earl Reginald's eldest daughter, Sarah, had been given in marriage to Aimar of Limoges while he was a minor in Henry II's custody. For the viscount it was an illustrious connection; in Limoges men saw Earl Reginald as a great and influential figure, a man who had helped Henry II to the English throne. And when it became clear that the earl would have no sons, it became a marriage that aroused high expectations- expectations which were disappointed when the king took Cornwall for himself. Up to this point Aimar had remained loyal to the Old King. He had helped to entertain Henry and a vast gathering of kings and nobles for seven day at Limoges in February 1173 and had held aloof from the revolts of 1168 and 1173-4. In 1176 he suddenly changed his line. He went over to opposition and on and off pursued this new policy until his death in 1199. In 1175-6 Henry's obsessive concern for John, revealed again and again in the last sixteen years of his reign, drove Aimar of Limoges to rebellion. When he became king, Richard - too generous to John perhaps - failed to find a means of reconciling Aimar, and in the end it was while laying siege to one of the vixcount's castles that he received his fatal wound."
