[46118] "Biographical review : containing life sketches of leading citizens of Somerset, Piscataquis, Hancock, Washington, and Aroostook counties, Maine (1898)", pp. 141-142: "Frank A. Billings, one of the active business men of Brooksville, Hancock County, was born in this town, August 31, 1S60, son of John H. and Flavilla (Young) Billings. The paternal grandfather, John Billings, was a pioneer of Brooksville. His log house stood in the immediate vicinity of his grandson's present residence. Having reclaimed from the wilderness a good farm, he cultivated it for the rest of his active period, and lived to the age of seventy-six years. He married Rebecca Wood, whose parents were among the first settlers in Blue Hill. John H. Billings, Frank H. Billings's father, was born in Brooksville, May 20, 1839. When a young man he learned the stone-cutter's trade, and afterward followed it for twenty-five years. At one time he owned a quarry. He gave up business some years ago, and is now residing upon a part of the old homestead property. Formerly he was quite active in public affairs, and held some of the town offices. The community regarded him as an estimable neighbor and a worthy citizen. Flavilla, his wife, became the mother of six children, namely: Frank H., the subject of this sketch; Horace, who died while young; Hattie; Grace; Lewis; and Funice. Hattie married W. Frank Eaton, of Sedgwick, and has one son, Percy, Grace married Albion Clauson, and has two children - Olin and George. Funice married Jay Saunders, of Blue Hill. Frank H. Billings attended school in Brooksville. After completing his studies he learned the blacksmith's trade, which he has since followed for twenty years. He purchased of his father the homestead farm of sixty acres, and in 1892 he opened a general store. After the store was burned some time ago, he erected a suitable building upon his own land, and resumed business. He has now a flourishing trade. By his marriage with Nellie Tainter, of Surry, Me., he has one daughter, Alice. In politics he is a Re-publican, and his first Presidential vote was given to James G. Blaine in 1884. He has served the town in the several capacities of Constable, Collector, and Selectman, and he is a member of the Patrons of Husbandry."

In 2007 http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands offers: "Rozala di Ivrea ([950/960]-7 Feb or 13 Dec 1003, bur Gent, church of the Abbey de Saint-Pierre du Mont-Blandin). The 'Annales Elnonenses Minores' record the marriage [undated between 950 and 968] of 'Arnulfus iunior' and 'filiam Beregeri regis Susannam'. Regino records that two of the daughters (unnamed) of ex-King Berengario were brought up in the imperial palace by the empress after being brought to Germany. One of these two daughters was presumably Rozala, bearing in mind that the emperor arranged her marriage. According to Nicholas, Count Arnoul II married Rozala di Ivrea when he reached the age of majority in 976 but the source on which this is based has not been located. The 'Genealogica Comitum Flandriæ Bertiniana' names 'filiam Berengeri regis Langobardorum, Ruzelam quæ et Susanna' as wife of Comte Arnoul. Her marriage was presumably arranged by Emperor Otto to increase his influence in Flanders at a time when the Lothaire IV King of the West Franks was asserting his own influence in the county. The 'Vita Sancti Bertulfi' names 'Rozala filia . . . Berengarii Regis Italiæ', specifying that 'post mortem Arnulfi [Balduini filius] principis, Roberto Regi Francorum nupsit et Susanna dicta'. Hugues 'Capet' King of France arranged her second marriage to his son and heir, apparently as a reward for Flemish help when he seized power in 987. She adopted the name Suzanne on her second marriage, and was given Montreuil-sur-Mer by the County of Flanders as her dowry. Richer records that King Robert repudiated his wife "Susannam . . . genere Italicam eo quod anus esset" but refused to allow her to retake her castle at Montreuil, whereupon she constructed another nearby. She returned to Flanders after she was repudiated by her second husband, and became one of the principal advisers of her son Count Baldwin IV. France retained Montreuil-sur-Mer. The 'Annales Elnonenses Minores' records the death in 1003 of 'Susanna regina'. The Memorial of 'regina Susanna' records her death 'VII Feb'. - m firstly ([968]) Arnoul II 'le Jeune' Count of Flanders, son of Baudouin III joint Count of Flanders & his wife Mechtild of Saxony [Billung] ([961/62]-30 Mar 987, bur Ghent). - m secondly (988 before 1 Apr, repudiated [991/92]) as his first wife, Robert Associate-King of France, son of Hugues Capet King of France & his wife Adelais dAquitaine (Orléans ([27 Mar] 972-Château de Melun 20 Jul 1031, bur église de l'Abbaye royale de Saint-Denis). He succeeded his father in 996 as Robert II "le Pieux" King of France." See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rozala_of_Lombardy.
