Geoffroy de Château-Landon, comte de Gâtinais, is a witness to a donation in 984, mentioned in acts in 990 and 991. [1]

Geoffroy appears in November 991 in an act of king Robert. [2]

Research Notes

There are several speculations on who the father of Geoffroy might have been (Aubry, viscount of Orléans; or Gautier I, comte de Vexin; or a son of Geoffroy de Gâtinais or Geoffroy himself).

Conjectured Fathers:
  1. Aubry, viscount of Orléans (possible but unlikely)
  2. Aubry de Gâtinais (Did not exist)
  3. Gautier I (most plausible)
  • "Both of the names Geoffroy and Gautier appear in the counts of Amiens, Valois, and Vexin which provides a very plausible origin for count Geoffroy (II) of Gâtinais." [1]
  • "While this scenario rests to a large degree on conjecture, it has the advantage of plausibility." [1]
Stewart Baldwin proposes several conjectural fathers for Geoffroy, with the most plausible being the son of Gautier I. [1]
On MedLands this would correspond to Godefroy, son of Gauthier d'Amiens[4], and also to Geoffroy de Château-Landon[3].

Orléans-46 and Gâtinais-17 do not represent the same person because: Born almost a century apart.
