ARMAND DE SEVIGNY -- KING OF CAID Armand de Sevigny was born in Normandy in the year 1160. Son of a minor Norman baron who held feifs scattered in both England and Normandy, Armand learned his trade of war under the tutelage of his father, Alphonse, and William Marshal. He served in the retinue of Young Henry, son of King Henry II, until sometime after his knighting on the eve of All Saints Day, 1179. After Richard's accession to the throne, Armand was constantly engaged in warfare in his service in the Holy Lands and on the Continent.
With Normandy's fall to the French in 1204, he transferred his allegiance to the French King Phillip for his lands in Normandy and Maine, forfeiting his English estates. In 1214, at the Battle of Bouvines, Armand fought against his former English friends and their German allies.
History takes note of Armand de Sevigny in June, 1219, when he is found once again on Crusade, this time in Egypt. While there he met Francis of Assisi who made a profound impression upon Armand. Returning home, he retired to a small hermitage and a life of simplicity. Armand passed from the world on December 21, 1226. -- MAS
