Hodierna (Hodierne) of Gometz (died 1108), daughter of William, Lord of Gometz, and 
wife of Guy I of Montlhéry. She made great donations to the new religious of the order 
of Saint-Benoît, installed in the Notre-Dame-de-Bonne-Garde Basilica of Longpont-
sur-Orge, a monastery founded by her husband. Guy obtained the concession of the 
church of Long Bridge in 1061 of Godfrey, Bishop of Paris. According to Gallia 
Christiana: "She herself went to Cluny to obtain from the abbot a certain number of 
monks; And she presented to the abbey a golden chalice of thirty ounces and a 
precious chasuble.”

It is reported that Hodierne was working in the construction of the church, and that 
she went to fetch the water from a distant fountain, which still enjoys the reputation of 
curing fever. It is reported that she came to ask the local blacksmith how to carry his 
buckets with less fatigue, and that the blacksmith, a brutal man, threw at her a red-hot 
squash, but Hodierne was not burnt. In order to punish the blacksmith she cursed all 
the posterity of the hammered men, and swore that any one who came to establish 
himself at Long Pont would not see the end of the year. The blacksmith soon died. 
And some gullible people have written that since that time no blacksmith had been 
established at Long Pont.

Hodierna married Guy I of Montlhéry and they had seven children:
Milo I the Great, (also called Milon I) lord of Montlhéry, married Lithuaise, Vicomtesse 
of Troyes
Melisende of Montlhéry (d. (1097), married Hugh I, Count of Rethel. Mother of Baldwin 
II of Jerusalem.
Elizabeth (Isabel) of Montlhéry, married Joscelin, lord of Courtenay, mother of Joscelin 
I, Count of Edessa
Guy II the Red (d. 1108), lord of Rochefort
Beatrice of Rochefort (1069–1117), married Anseau of Garlande
Hodierna of Montlhéry, married Walter of Saint-Valery
Alice of Montlhéry (also called Adele or Alix) (1040–1097), married Hugh I, lord of Le 
Puiset (1035–1094).[1] Their son was Hugh I of Jaffa and daughter was Humberge of 
Le Puiset who travelled on the First Crusade with her husband Walo II of Chaumont-
en-Vexin. Humberge's cousin (name unknown) was married to Ralph the Red of Pont-
Echanfrey who also travelled with her husband on crusade.

The church of the priory was beautiful, very large, and contained a great number of 
tombs. Hodierne was buried there in front of the high altar, under a tomb that reads: 
Hodieræ inclytcæ omitisshæ erici montis sacrarum harum Ædium fundatricis ossa. Sub 
dio jacentia ab anno millesimo, pro nichaelis the masle Domni of the rocks, hujusce 
domus prioris studio hic translata fuere anno 1651 die ultima mensis augusti. Rue 
Dame Hodierne exists in his honor at Montlhéry.
