Guy I was the second lord of Bray and the second lord of Montlhéry. He was probably the son of Thibaud of Montmorency, but some sources say that his father was named Milo. Thibaud may instead have been his grandfather.
He married Hodierna of Gometz, daughter of William, lord of Gometz.
Together with his wife and with the support of the Bishop of Paris Guido 1061 founded the Benedictine Priory of Notre-Dame of Longpont-sur-Orge, which they handed over to twenty-two monks from the Abbey of Cluny. Longpont thus became the first branch of the Association of clunizianischen monastery in the region around Paris. According to legend his wife with own hands participated in the construction.
Gui and Hodierna had seven children:
Milo I the Great, (also called Milon I) lord of Monthléry, married Lithuaise, sister of Stephen of Blois.
Melisende of Montlhéry, married Hugh I, count of Rethel, mother of Baldwin II of Jerusalem (died 1118)
Elizabeth of Montlhéry, married Joscelin, lord of Courtenay, mother of Joscelin I, Count of Edessa
Guy II the Red (died 1108), lord of Rochefort
Beatrice of Rochefort, married Anseau of Garlande (1069–1117)
Hodierna of Montlhéry, married Walter of Saint-Valéry
Alice of Montlhéry (also called Adele & Alix) (1040–1097), married Hugh I, lord of Le Puiset (1035–1094)
Guy died in 1095, the same year Pope Urban II launched the First Crusade. Many of his descendants had illustrious careers in the Holy Land, through the Montlhéry, Courtenay, and Le Puiset branches of his family.
