UNC dissertation would treat this; Kimberly LoPrete has also talked about
Ivo's background. But I've never read nor seen anything to suggest
that the Chartres connection is anything more than "possible".
many thanks.
i'd rather suspected that that was the case --i was certainly never able to
find any local connection whilst trolling through the Chartres documents, and
the name "Ivo" is not at all common in the namengut[en] of the local gentry,
though i *believe* that it is found Up North (cf. the families which W.M.
Newman discusses in his _Seigneurs de Nesle_).
best from here,
christopher
