Notes:

Ebald II de Grandson, (before 1156 - after 1235), known as Ebald de la Sarraz, he was named Lord of Grandson in various charters, Lord of Grandson and La Sarraz, attorney of the Abbey of Lac de Joux. On August 26, 1186, an edict from Emperor Frederic Barbarossa recognized his right to "build in the territory of Noires-Joux, houses, villages, towns and castles, without any other reservation than that of immediate suzerainty of the empire". From that time on, the elder branch of the Grandsons took up residence in La Sarraz. In 1235 he made an important donation to the abbey of Sainte Marie-Madeleine du Lac. The male succession of the eldest branch of the Grandsons will end with his great-granddaughter Henriette who will bring La Sarraz to her husband Humbert de Montferrand, founder of the line of Montferrand-la-Sarraz7.
