Stephen of Aumale

Stephen of Aumale

Stephen of Aumale [Étienne d'Aumale] (before 1070 – 1127) was Count of Aumale from 1082 to 1127.

He was son of Eudes de Blois, Count of Troyes and Count of Meaux, and Adelaide of Normandy, countess of Aumale, and sister of William the Conqueror. Stephen probably succeeded his mother as Count in 1082/4.

In the rebellion of 1095 against William Rufus, the object of the rebels was to place Stephen on the English throne. The leaders were Robert de Mowbray and Guillaume III of Eu, Count of Eu. Stephen's father was imprisoned in 1096 for complicity.

In 1096 Stephen joined the First Crusade, with Robert Curthose. In 1102 he became lord of Holderness, Yorkshire, England.

In 1118, when William Clito rebelled against Henry I of England, Stephen supported him, with Baldwin VII of Flanders.
