With regard to Hugues de Payens,and the claimed marriage to Catherine St
Clair.
There are a small number of charters and cartulary references from
Champagne spanning the period of 1113
to 1170 naming Hugues' wife/widow as Elisabeth or Isabel de Chappes, and
naming her as the mother of Hugues' two children (and it was the daughter
who inherited his property, not the son)
I can probably dig out the references if pushed but it may take some time.
yours Aye
