On 26 Feburary 998 (or 999) when Josselin I died, his grandson Manasses supported by Eudes, count of Chartres and the mayor of Melun took control
claiming the important river castle & village. They did not hold it long. King Robert, along with Bouchard for Herve de Melun, lay siege in 999 and forced the revolutionaries of hereditary rights to pay with their lives. The mayor & Eudes were hung with many others, but there is no further mention of Manasses. SEE Ancestry Report below.
