I did not comment on the line you were interested in so let me do so now.
Presumably the descent you refer to from Charlemagne through the Valletorts and
Columbers runs something like what follows. I have not cited any references
for Generations 1-13 as they are standard ones and can be found just about
anywhere. For Generations 14-18 refer to my previous reply for some sources to
connect. For Generations 19-21, see Devon and Cornwall Notes and Queries, vol.
20 (1938-9), p. 292-294 where the evidence connecting from Columbers and
Valletort can be found in a Somerset Plea of 1280 wherein Philip de Columbers
is described as the grandfather of John de Valletort's son Hugh de Valletort.
In 1280, Hugh was a minor and his father was still living. From Generation 18
on I have given a little more info since these folks are less well known.
There is probably much more to be found on the later generations in other
sources but I have not pursued these into any great detail.
1. Charlemagne
2. Pepin I, King of Italy 781-810
3. Bernhard, King of Italy 813-818
4. Pepin, Lord of Peronne (815-aft 840)

6. Heribert II, Count of Vermandois (c880-943)
7. Robert, Count of Meaux (910/5-967)
8. Adelais of Troyes (c950-974)
=Geoffroi I, Count of Anjou (d. 987)

10. Judith of Brittany (982-1017)
=Richard II, Duke of Normandy (d. 1027)

18. Egeline de Courtenay. She was living 1297. She married Philip de
Columbers, of Stowey, Devonshire. Philip was born before 1209 and died shortly
before 20 Sept 1262. He fought in Wales 1257. (DCNQ, 20: 292; Honors &
Knights Fees, 1: 139; Paget's Baronage: 138; VCH, Somersetshire, 5: 104)
19. N.N. de Columbers. She married Sir John de Valletort, of North Tawton,
Devon. A patron of North Tawton Church in 1280, he was a knight in 1280 and
was summoned to serve against the Welsh in 1294. (Cal. Close Rolls, 1279-1288:
110; DCNQ, 20: 292, 294)
20. Hugh de Valletort, of North Tawton. A minor in 1280, he was dead by 1310.
He fought in Scotland in 1300. Married to Lucia le Bret, a widow in 1310.
She was the daughter of Adam le Bret, of Corypole, Devon. (DCNQ, 20: 292-294;
Knights of Edward I, 5: 92)
21. Elizabeth de Valletort, coheiress of her father to lands in North Tawton.
Married before May 1316 to Sir Richard Champernoun, of Modbury, Devon (d.
before 1338). For continuing descent please refer to my posting on the
Champernouns of Modbury.
Hope this helps some,
Ronny Bodine
