Corba of Thorigne, Lady of Amboise,[1] daughter of Suplice I, beheaded for no known reason, and daughter-in-law of Fulk IV le Réchin, Count of Anjou.
Widowed, Fulk arranged the marriage of Corba to a very old man, Achard de Saintes.
Not happy with the marriage, Corba successfully planned her abduction, and Achard, ailing, died soon afterwards.
Fulk then had Corba marry a prominent knight named Geoffrey Burel, who became Lord of Amboise.
William’s prowess in battle was limited and the Turks quickly put an end to his endeavor.
