- BIOGRAPHY
Son of Milon de Monteleherico, Gui I was lord of Monthléry and Chevreuse as well as Châteaufort and Bray. With his wife Hodierne de Gometz-la-Ferté, daughter of Guillaume de Gometz-la-Ferté, seigneur de Bures, he had seven children who would all have progeny.
Gui founded the abbey of Longpont, where late in life he became a monk and where he died in 1095, the same year Pope Urban II launched the First Crusade. Many of his descendants had illustrious careers in the Holy Land, through the Montlhéry, Courtenay, and Le Puiset branches of his family.
