Dangereuse de l'Isle Bouchard (Poitevin: Dangerosa; 1079-1151) was the daughter of Bartholomew of l'Isle Bouchard and his wife Gerberge de Blaison. She was the maternal grandmother of the celebrated Eleanor of Aquitaine. She was also mistress to her granddaughters' paternal grandfather, William IX, Duke of Aquitaine.[1] As the mistress of William the Troubadour, she was known as La Maubergeonne for the tower he built for her at his castle in Poitiers.
Dangereuse was a sobriquet she received for her seductiveness; her baptismal name may have been Amauberge.
Whilst travelling through Poitou, Duke William IX of Aquitaine met the "seductive" Dangereuse. This led to her leaving her husband for Duke William, who was excommunicated by the church for "abducting her"; however, she appeared to have been a willing party in the matter. He installed her in the Maubergeonne tower of his castle in Poitiers, and, as related by William of Malmesbury, even painted a picture of her on his shield.
Amauberge married Aimery I DE CHATELLERAULT , Viscount of Chatellerault, son of Boson II DE CHATELLERAULT , Comte de Chatellerault and Aleanor DE THOUARS, before 1109. (Aimery I DE CHATELLERAULT , Viscount of Chatellerault was born in 1075 and died on 7 Nov 1151.)
Amauberge had a relationship with William IX OF AQUITAINE , Duque of Aquitaine in 1115.
