Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elias_I,_Count_of_Maine
Elias I (also Hélie or Élie) (died 11 July 1110),[1] called de la Flèche or de Baugency, 
was the Count of Maine, succeeding his cousin Hugh V, Count of Maine.
Life[edit]

He was the son of Jean de la Flèche and Paula, daughter of Herbert I, Count of 
Maine.[2]

In 1092, his cousin Hugh V sold Maine to him for 10,000 shillings. With the support of 
Fulk IV of Anjou, he continued the war with Robert II of Normandy. After Robert's 
departure with the First Crusade, Elias made peace with William Rufus, Robert's 
regent in Normandy.

Family[edit]

In 1090 Elias married Matilda, daughter of Gervais II, Lord of Château-du-Loir.[2] They 
had a daughter:
Ermengarde, married Fulk V of Anjou.[3]

In 1109, says Orderic Vitalis, Elias remarried to Agnes, the daughter of William of 
Poitou and relict of Alfonso VI of Castile.[4] However, it seems likely that Orderic 
confused two different wives of Alfonso, and that it was the latter's widow, the 
Frenchwoman Beatrice, known to have returned to her homeland on Alfonso's death, 
whom Elias married.[5][6] She died the following year, however.[4]

Elias of Maine died on July 11, 1110 and was buried in the choir of the abbey church 
Notre-Dame de la Couture in Le Mans.[1]
