- Graaf van Vermandois.
- Raoul repudiated his wife, Eleonore, in order to marry Petronille. With the complaints of several bishops, the Pope excommunicates both Petronille and Raoul I on the pretext of consanguinity, and a Council in Lagny would condemn the prelates who assisted Raoul. King Louis VII de France takes strong exception to this action, and has his brother Robert de Dreux invade Champagne. The Pope promisses to lift the excommunication, but in 1143, Innocent II, would recant his promise and Louis VII would burn the town of Vitry which would then be renamed to Vitry-le-Brule. When Innocent II died on 23 September 1143, his successor Celestin II would lift the interdict and validate the marriage of Raoul I and Petronille.
