Who is Ebles II of Roucy?

Ebles II, also called Eble or Ebale, was the second Count of Roucy of the House of Montdidier. He was the son and successor of Hilduin IV of Montdidier and Alice, daughter of Ebles I of Roucy. He is famous for his participation in the Reconquista, as well as for being one of the unruly barons of the Île-de-France subjugated by King Louis VI while he was still a prince. His life and character are summed up by Suger in his history of the reign of Louis VI: "Ebles was a man of great military prowess—indeed he became so bold that one day he set out for Spain with an army of a size fit only for a king—his feats or arms only made him more outrageous and rapacious in pillage, rape and all over evils."
