Bouchard II of Montmorency

Bouchard II (975-1020) le Barbu (the Bearded), was Lord of Montmorency.

He was one of the most significant lords of France under the first reign of Robert, son of King Hugh Capet. He had a dispute with the Abbot of S. Denis about Basset Castle. The castle was found in 998 by the king and his barons. He followed King Robert I to seat Avalon in Burgundy. He subscribed to the charter that the monarch made the dispatch camp in favor of St Benignus of Dijon, August 25, 1005.

He married N the widow of Hugues Basset, knight, of Château-Basset. His descendants include Bouchard III, Eudes, Viscount of Meulan, Alberic, Constable of France, who formed a branch that became extinct in the third generation and Foucaud, who came from the lords of Banterlu.
