House of Bellême.
Life[edit]

Yves was probably the son of Yves de Creil,[a][1] one of those who saved young 
Duke Richard I from death or mutilation at hand of King Louis IV of France.[2] Yves de 
Bellême held the castle and lands of Bellême, of the King of France, as well as the 
Sonnois and part of the Passais, both held of the Count of Maine.[3] That he held part 
of the march-lands of Passais is known from his having given abbot Gauzlin of Fleury 
Abbey the lands of Magny-le-Désert.[1]

His wife was named Godeheut and although her parentage is unknown, she was the 
sister of Seinfroy, Bishop of Le Mans.[4][5] Yves was the founder of a church 
dedicated to the Virgin Mary in his castle of Bellême and endowed it with a church in 
the Sonoisis, another at Vieux Bellême plus a vill and three other churches in the 
Hiesmois.[1] Yves died sometime after 1005.[6]
