Milo I of Montlhéry
French noble
Milo I the Great (died 1102) was lord of Montlhéry from 1095 until his death. He was the son of Guy I of Montlhéry and Hodierna of Gometz.
The identity of his first wife is unknown. His second wife was Lithuise de Blois, Vicomtesse de Troyes, daughter of William Busac, Count of Soissons (c. 1084–1118).
Milo and Lithuise had at least nine children:
Guy III Trousseau, lord of Montlhéry
Thibaut
Milo II (died 1118), lord of Montlhéry and Bray-sur-Seine, viscount of Troyes
Adelaide
Elizabeth (Isabella) of Montlhéry, married Thibaut of Dampierre. Their son was Guy I of Dampierre.
Emmeline of Montlhéry (died 1121), married Hugh II Bardoul, lord of Broyes

Marguerite, married Manasses, Viscount of Sens.
Milo joined the Lombard contingent during the second wave of the First Crusade around 1100 together with his brother Guy II. He returned from the crusade "broken by the stress" and "devoid of all bodily strength".

Why this record matters
The phrase “french noble” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 15, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q463887. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1102, 1095, 1084 and 1118.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
