     ; Racines et Histoire (Beaugency) says Jean married "Herberge d'Este" (b ca 1072 d bef 1110). However, The Henry Project and Genelaogics both say he married Pauline du Maine.

; Per Med Lands:
     "JEAN de la Flèche, son of LANCELIN [I] de Baugency & his wife --- (-[1097], bur Angers, Saint-Aubin). Son of Lancelin according to Orderic Vitalis, who says that his mother was the daughter of the Comte du Maine[175], which appears to result from confusion with his wife. "Domna Agnes comitissa" [wife of Geoffroy II "Martel" Comte d´Anjou] bought "ecclesiam Sancti-Beati…juxta…castrum Vindocini" from "Lancelino dominico vasso de castro Balgentiaco" and "apud Castrum-Dunum alteram ecclesiam" from "filiis eiusdem Lancelino…Johanne et Lancelino" by charter dated to before 1040[176]. A charter dated 13 Feb 1087 records donations to Angers Saint-Aubin by "Johannes de Fissa", with the consent of "Helias filius eius"[177]. A charter dated to [1097] records that "Johannes de Fissa" became a monk after falling ill at Château-Gonthier and died soon after[178]. A charter dated to [1097] records confirmation of donations to Angers Saint-Aubin by "Elias…filius eius…et frater eius Gaufridus" after the burial of their father[179].
     "m PAULE du Maine, daughter of HERIBERT [I] "Eveille-chien" Comte du Maine & his wife --- ([1025/35]-). Orderic Vitalis records that "Hugo filius Herberti" and his wife “Bertam ipsius relictam, Tedbaldi Blesensium comitis sororem” had “filium...Herbertum et tres filias”, of whom the third married “Johanni domino castri...Flecchia” (which would be difficult to sustain chronologically and confuses the children of Hugues [IV] Comte du Maine with his sisters) and had three children “Goisbertum, Heliam et Enoch”[180]. Her father is named by Orderic Vitalis, who also records her marriage to "Lancelin de Beaugency"[181]. However, in another passage the same source names "Helias, Johannis et Paulæ filius, Hugonis Cenomannorum consulis consobrinus"[182]. From a chronological point of view, it is more likely that Jean, son of Lancelin de Baugency, was the husband of Paule du Maine."

     Giselbert II (?)

Giselbert II (?) Duc de Lorraine, Graf im Maasgau died on 2 October 939 at Rhine River, Andernach, andkreis Mayen-Koblenz, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany (now); drowned 939 attempting to ford the Rhine in armour after his defeat nr Andernach while in rebellion against his bro-in-law OTTO THE GREAT (later HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR.)^{15,7,1,2,16,9,4,3,5}
      ; Per Genealogics:
     “Giselbert, duke of Lorraine, was born about 890, the son of Reginar I, duke of Lorraine, count in Hainault, and his wife Alberade. He was the duke of Lorraine until 939. The beginning of the reign of Giselbert is not clear. A _dux Lotharingiae_ is mentioned in 910 and this may have been Giselbert. In 911 Lotharingia sided with Charles III 'the Simple', king of France, who was deposed as king of France in 922 by Robert I, but remained king in Lotharingia, from where he tried to reconquer West Francia until being imprisoned in 923.
     “In 925 Giselbert swore fealty to Emperor Heinrich I 'the Fowler' as duke of Lotharingia. In 928 he married Gerberga, daughter of Heinrich and Mathilde von Ingelheim, by whom he had two daughters, Alverade and Gerberga, who would have progeny, and a son Heinrich who died young. For whatever reason, Giselbert rebelled when Emperor Heinrich died in 936 and changed allegiance to the king of France, where the king had less authority. Giselbert managed to be practically independent for three years until he was defeated by the army of Heinrich's son Otto I 'the Great' in 939 at the Battle of Andernach. Giselbert was made prisoner and succeeded in fleeing, but he drowned on 2 October 939 while trying to cross the Rhine. Lorraine was given to Otto's younger brother Heinrich I, Herzog von Bayern.
     “Shortly thereafter, Giselbert's widow Gerberga married Louis IV 'd'Outremer', king of France, with whom she had several children.”.²

; Per Burke's: "GISELBERT, DUKE OF LORRAINE; b c 890; m 929 the Saxon princess Gerberga (m 2nd LOUIS IV OF FRANCE), dau of HENRY (THE FOWLER), KING OF THE EAST FRANKS, and was drowned 939 attempting to ford the Rhine in armour after his defeat nr Andernach while in rebellion against his bro-in-law OTTO THE GREAT (later HOLY ROMAN EMPEROR)“.⁷

; Per Stewart:
     "Gislebert was the son of Reginar and Alberada - this is known from a charter of his wife Gerberga, on her return to Lorraine in February 968 (as the widow by then also of King Louis IV): "Gerberga...Francorum Regina...pro...remedio senioris nostri piæ memoriæ Gisleberti, suique parentum, patris scilicet et matris, Rageneri et Albradæ [_Recueil des historiens des Gaules et de la France_ volume IX p. 666, 'Reginarum diplomata' no. 5]
     "His father Reginar probably had another wife before marrying Alberada. The only direct evidence for this is an undated and possibly forged or at least miscopied charter, that could not be earlier than 887, for Saint-Dagobert de Stenay, in which a Count Reginar mentions his deceased wife Hersindis and apparently (I haven't seen the text) qualifies himself as successor to Emperor Charles (the Fat). This may have given rise to the idea that his wife had been a Carolingian heiress; but since Charles the Fat had no legitimate offspring and Charles the Bald had plenty, the paternity of Hersindis may have become speculatively (or rather, imaginatively) transferred to the latter. There is very little likelihood in my view that this could be correct, or worth discussing in Christian Settipani's book. However, there is no particular reason I can see to doubt that a lady of this name, of unknown family, was the first wife of Reginar. There would appear to be no value for a forger in the invention of such a wife merely to name her in passing.
     "Indirectly, it is probable that Reginar had another wife before Alberada: he was evidently born ca 850, occurring in an official capacity by 877, whereas his son Gislebert was apparently born as late as ca 895 - by my understanding of Richer's account he had only recently attained the age of 20 at the time of Reginar's funeral some time between August 915 and January 916, when the latter's powers were conferred on him by King Charles the Simple: "Peractisque exsequiis, Gisleberto eius filio, iam facto iuveni, paternum honorem, coram principibus qui confluxerant liberalissime accommodat", see _Historiarum libri IIII_, edited by Hartmut Hoffmann, MGH SS 38 (Hanover, 2000).
     "Most genealogists make Alberada the mother of all three known children of Reginar. Since Gislebert was her son it is likely that his younger brother was hers also, unless Reginar also had a subsequent wife (as has been suggested, though not at all convincingly to me - he is sometimes suggested as the father of Count Wigeric's wife Cunegundis, whose mother was King Louis II's daughter Ermentrudis).
     "However, I think a case can be made that the known daughter of Reginar could have been from the marriage to Hersindis. She (name unrecorded) married Berengar, ancestor of the counts of Namur. There was a notable lady named Hersindis in the following generation (living in October 949), the first wife of Eilbert of Florennes, who could well have been her daughter as conjectured by Léon Vanderkindere in _La formation territoriale des principautés belges au Moyen âge_(Brussels, 1902).

     "GISELBERT [II] ([885/900]-drowned in the Rhine, near Andernach 2 Oct 939). Richer records that "Gisleberto eius filio" succeeded on the death of "Ragenerus vir consularis et nobilis cognomento Collo-Longus"[1484]. The Miraculæ S. Maximi names "Gisilbertus admodum iuvenis dux", in a passage dated to the early 10th century[1485]. Abbot of Stablo 915/925. On the death of Giselbert's father in [915/16], Charles III "le Simple" King of the West Franks refused to install Giselbert as marchio[1486]. Giselbert rebelled against King Charles III in 918 and took refuge with Heinrich Duke of Saxony (later king of Germany). Flodoard records in 920, in relation to the dispute between "Hilduinum episcopum et Richarium abbatem" relating to “episcopatu Tungrensi”, that “Gisleberto” (who at first supported the appointment of “Hilduinum” as bishop) had left “Karolo rege” and been appointed “principi” by “plurimi Lotharienses”[1487]. The Breve Chronicon Epternacense records that “Giselbertus filius eius” succeeded “Reinerus” as abbot of Echternach in 924, although the dating of this passage appears faulty[1488]. King Charles III "le Simple" restored Kloster Susteren to the abbey of Prüm by charter dated 19 Jan 916 which names "fidelium nostrorum…Widricus comes palatii, Richuuinus comes, Gislebertus, Matfridus, Beringerius comites, Theodericus comes, Reinherus comes, Erleboldus"[1489]. Giselbert rebelled against King Charles III in 918, and sought help from Heinrich of Saxony (later king of Germany). He later opposed Heinrich after his accession in Germany, and maybe planned to install himself as independent ruler in Lotharingia in 920[1490]. Richer records that Giselbert was awarded the vacant properties "Traiectum, Iuppilam, Harstalium, Marsnam, Littam, Capræmontem" after he returned to favour[1491]. Widukind records that "Isilberhtum…adolescentem" was "nobili genere ac familia antiqua natus" when Heinrich I King of Germany betrothed his daughter to him, maybe dated to [925][1492]. Flodoard's Annals record that "Berengarius" captured "Giselbertum" and only freed him after receiving "filiis Ragenarii fratris ipsius Gisleberti" as hostages, after which Giselbert ravaged the lands of "Berengarii, Ragenariique fratris sui et Isaac comitis"[1493]. The king's forces under Eberhard [Konradiner] secured Lotharingia's submission to German overlordship in 925[1494]. Abbot of St Maximin at Trier 925/934. Created dux in 928 by Heinrich I King of Germany, effectively creating him GISELBERT Duke of Lotharingia. Liutprand names him "Gislebertum Lotharingorum ducem" when recording his marriage[1495]. "Gysalbertus dux rectorque S. Traiectenses ecclesie" donated property "Gulisam…in pago [Ardunensi] in comitatu Everhardi" to Trier by charter dated 928, subscribed by "Walgeri comitis, Thiedrici comitis, Cristiani comitis, Folcoldi comitis"[1496]. "Heinricus…rex" granted property to the canons of Crespin at the request of "Gisleberti ducis" by charter dated 24 Oct 931[1497]. He took part in a campaign of pillaging along the Rhine with Eberhard ex-Duke of Franconia and Heinrich, brother of Otto I King of Germany, and was drowned[1498]. Flodoard's Annals record that "Gislebertus…dux et Otho, Isaac atque Theodericus comites" offered the French crown to Louis IV "d'Outremer" King of the West Franks in 939[1499]. Regino records that "Gisalbertus" was drowned in the Rhine in 939[1500].

Richer records the marriage of "Gisleberto eius filio [Rageneri…Collo-Longus]" and "Heinrici Saxoniæ ducis filiæ Gerbergæ"[1501]. Liutprand states that the wife of "Gislebertum Lotharingorum ducem" was "regis sororem"[1502]. As her marriage to Giselbert coincided approximately with her husband being created dux, it is assumed that the marriage was arranged as part of the terms confirming Giselbert's submission to King Heinrich. Gerberga married secondly (end 939) Louis IV "d'Outremer" King of France. Flodoard names her "Gerbergam" when recording her second marriage[1503]. Her second husband gave her the Abbey of Notre-Dame de Laon in 951, taken from his mother on her second marriage. Abbess of Notre Dame de Soissons in 959[1504].

Her first husband had been a rival of King Heinrich I and maybe planned to establish himself as independent ruler in Lotharingia in 920[173]. As the marriage coincided with Giselbert being created dux, it was presumably arranged to confirm Giselbert's submission to King Heinrich. King Louis married Gerberga without the permission of her brother Otto I King of Germany, probably to increase his hold on Lotharingia (ruled by her first husband). Gerberga was active in the defence of Laon in 941 and of Reims in 946, accompanied her husband on expeditions to Aquitaine in 944 and Burgundy in 949, and was active during his period of imprisonment in 945/46[174].

"Gauzfredi comitis, Adaleidis comitissa" subscribed a charter dated 18 Oct 984[96]. The origin of Adelais has been the subject of much speculation. Settipani has suggested that she was the daughter of Hugues Comte en Bourgogne & his wife Willa von Thurgau[97].

Bouchard sets out several different theories concerning Adelais's origin, with the aim mainly of explaining Lambert's succession to the county of Chalon by inheritance through his wife. However, none appears to be based on any primary source and the author concludes that she prefers "to leave Adelaide's origins unknown"[99]. An earlier theory was that Adelais was the sister of "Wera" Ctss de Meaux[100], which would mean that she was Adelais, daughter of Giselbert Duke of Burgundy, Comte de Chalon-sur-Saône et de Troyes & his wife Ermengarde [of Burgundy]. Duchesne suggested that Adelais Ctss de Chalon was the daughter of Robert Comte de Meaux et de Troyes[101], although this would mean that the two wives of Geoffroy I Comte d'Anjou were sisters, no mention of which has been found in contemporary sources. Yet another suggestion is that Adelais Ctss de Chalon was the same person as Wera-Adelais Ctss de Meaux. However, this is even more unlikely chronologically considering the estimated birth date of Wera-Adelais and the fact that Adelais de Chalon gave birth to at least one child by her second husband after their marriage in 979. It would also mean that Comte Geoffroy married, as his second wife, his first wife's mother which is unlikely to have been accepted by the church. Finally, in 1619, Duchesne suggested that Adelais was the sister of Guillaume I Comte d'Arles[102].

Foulques II "le Bon" (?) Comte d'Anjou died circa 960; per Stewart:
     "Foulques II, known as Foulques le Bon, was living in September 958 when he was present at an assembly of bishops and nobles according to a notice in the cartulary of Saint-Florent de Saumur ("Anno itaque ab Incarn. Domini DCCCCLVIII. Indict. I. contigit ut Placitus fieret in confinio Andegavorum Turonorumque in Verrore videlicet"... in præsentia nobilissimorum Comitum Theobaldi atque Fulconis ... S. Theobaldi Comitis. S. Fulconis Comitis qui hanc conscriptionem fieri rogaverunt ... Datum mense Septembris anno IV. Hlotharii regis").
     "His death was wrongly placed on 11 November 956 (in a passage with a leper miraculously disappearing followed by St Martin appearing to explain that this had been Jesus Christ in disguise) by a 13th-century chronicler ("Anno Othonis XXIo et Lotharii regis Francorum IIo, Fulco Bonus comes Andegavensis ad festum Beati Martini veniens ... Nocte sequenti apparuit comiti Beatus Martinus ... Cumque in crastinum in choro Beati Martini missam dominicam audisset ... spiritum exhalavit anno comitatus XVIIIo ").
     "In an article published in 1895 René Merlet retained this date but arbitrarily transferred the event to 11 November 960 on the dubious grounds that Fulco was living when Nantes was besieged by Normans in the course of that year.
     "A 14th-century chronicler placed his death in 958 without a specific date ("DCCCCLVIII. Fulcho Bonus comes Andegavensium obit").
     "A charter for Saint-Florent de Saumur dated September 960 is usually cited as providing the terminus ante quem, because it was subscribed by his son & heir Geoffroy Grisegonelle as count (anno ab incarnatione Domini et redemptione DCCCCLX ... S. Gausfredi comitis ... Datum mense septembrio, anno V regni Lotharii regis""). This is bolstered by a list of counts and bishops of Anjou, written in 1155, stating that Geoffroy, who died in July 987, was count for 27 years ("Gaufridus comes, annis XXVII").
     "The terminus can be pushed back by six months: an original charter for Saint-Julien de Tours in the municipal archives of Rheims (collection Tarbé, carton 1 no 8) shows that Geoffroy was count by March 960 ("ego siquidem Gauzfredus, rerum Sanctae Genofefae rector ... Signum Gauzfredi comitis ... Data in mense marcio, anno VI regnante Hlotherio rege").
     "A transcription and further details of this charter can be found at: http://www.cn-telma.fr/originaux/charte9/

Med Lands cites:

; Per Genealogics: "Foulques was the son of Foulques I, count of Anjou, and Roselle de Loche. In 937 he married Gerberge de Tours. Four of their children would have progeny, including his heir Geoffrey I. He was often at war with the Bretons. He seems to have been a man of culture, a poet and an artist. By reputation a saintly man, he dressed as a cleric. Of Louis IV, king of France, who had mocked his piety, Foulques commented, 'an illiterate king is a crowned ass'. Foulques died in 960."⁷



; Per Wikipedia:
     "Fulk II of Anjou (c. 905 — 960), called le Bon ("the Good") was Count of Anjou from 942 to his death.
Life
     "Fulk II born c.?905[1] was a son of Fulk the Red and his wife Roscilla de Loches, daughter of Warnerius, Seigneur de Villentrois.[2] He succeeded his father in 942 as the second count of Anjou,[3] also called the count of Angers, and remained in power until 960.[4]
     "The Angevins, Fulk II included, had become particularly adept at establishing marriage alliances that furthered their goals.[5] His father, Fulk the Red had arranged his marriage to a Carolingian, Gerberga, the daughter of Ratburnus I Viscount of Vienne.[6] Among other things this alliance opened the doors for their daughter Adelaide-Blanche to marry a future king of France and their son Guy to become Bishop of le Puy.[6]
     "After her death c.?952 Fulk made another astute political marriage to Adelaide, the widow of Alan II, Duke of Brittany. Alan II had also been Count of Nantes and through this marriage Fulk gained influence in, and possibly control of, Nantes.[7] Adelaide was also the sister of Theobald I, Count of Blois which permitted Fulk II to form an alliance with the House of Blois.[6]
Family
     "By his spouse, Gerberge, a woman of unknown origins,[8] Fulk II had several children:
-- Adelaide-Blanche of Anjou, married five times.[2]
-- Geoffrey I, Count of Anjou, married Adelaide of Vermandois.[2]
-- Bouchard, Count of Vendome.[2]
-- Guy of Anjou, Bishop of le Puy.[2]
-- Humbert d'Anjou, mentioned 957.[2]
-- Fulk II had no known issue with Adelaide.
Death
     "Fulk died in 960, at the relatively old age of 55.[9] He was succeeded by his 20-year-old son Geoffrey Greymantle.[2]

     "Anjou was originally known as the _pagus andecavis,_ named after the Gaul tribe of Andecaves. At the end of the 9th century, Charles 'the Bald', king of _Francia occidentalis_ and later Holy Roman Emperor, allied himself to the duke of Brittany and expelled the Vikings from Anjou. He appointed Rutpert IV, Graf in Wormsgau, duke of Francia, an ancestor of the Capetian house, to protect the area against potential invaders.
     "At the end of the 9th century, the royal power faded away and feudal states emerged all over France. In 898 Foulques I 'le Roux' founded the first house of Anjou. He bore the hereditary title of count of Anjou. Foulques was the son of Ingelger, comte d'Anjou, and Aelinde, the daughter of Geoffroy I, comte de Gatinais. Foulques married Roselle de Loche, daughter of Gardier, seigneur de Loche. They had four children, of whom their son Foulques II would have progeny. Foulques I died about 938."⁹

; Per Genealogics:
     "Ingelger was a Frankish nobleman who stands at the head of the Plantagenet dynasty. Later generations of his family believed he was the son of Tertulle and Petronilla. He was born in Rennes.
     "Around 877 he inherited his father Tertulle's lands in accordance with the Capitulary of Quierzy which Emperor Charles 'the Bald' had issued. His father's holdings from the king included Château-Landon _in beneficium,_ and he was a _casatus_ in the Gâtinais and Francia. Contemporary records refer to Ingelger as a _miles optimus,_ a great military man.
     "Later family tradition makes his mother a relative of Hugues the Abbot, an influential counsellor of both Louis II and Louis III of France, from whom he received preferment. By Louis II, Ingelger was appointed viscount of Orléans, which was under the rule of its bishops at the time. At Orléans Ingelger made a matrimonial alliance with one of the leading families of Neustria, the lords of Amboise. He married Aelinde, daughter of Geoffroy I, comte de Gâtinais; her maternal uncles were Adalard, archbishop of Tours, and Raino, bishop of Angers. Later Ingelger was appointed prefect (military commander) at Tours, then ruled by Adalard.
     "At some point Ingelger was appointed count of Anjou, at a time when the county stretched only as far west as the Mayenne River. Later sources credit his appointment to his defence of the region from Vikings, but modern scholars have been more likely to see it as a result of his wife's influential relatives. He was buried in the Church of Saint-Martin at Châteauneuf-sur-Sarthe. He was succeeded by his son Foulques I 'the Red', who would have progeny."⁸

     Adelais of Amboise - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Adelais of Amboise (sometimes called Aelinde) (fl. 865), came from an influential Frankish family in the Loire Valley. Through her mother, whose name is unknown, she was the niece of Adelard, Archbishop of Tours, and Raino, Bishop of Angers.[1] In 865, her uncles arranged a marriage for her to a Frankish man named Ingelger, described as a miles optimus,[2] whose devotion to Charles the Bald had been rewarded with land and military commands.[3] Adelais’ dowry included Buzençais, Châtillon-sur-Indre, and the fortress of Amboise,[4] which ultimately grew to be the royal residence known as the Château d'Amboise. Adelais and Ingelger, who has been identified as either a viscount[5] or the first count[6] of Anjou, were the parents of Fulk the Red, who became the first hereditary count of Anjou.[7] According to the Gesta Consulum Andegavorum, “after the death of her husband, Adelais was unjustly accused of adultery by a group of nobles led by ‘Guntrannus parens Ingelgerii’ but later exonerated.”[8] Geoffrey of Anjou, founder of England’s Plantagenet dynasty, traced his ancestry to Adelais and Ingelger.

      ; Per Genealogy.EU: Petronilla de France (*825), possible dau.of Hugo "Le Abbe", illegitimate son of Charlemagne.¹ GAV-31 EDV-31 GKJ-32.

;      There is some dispute as to the father of Petronilla/Petronelle who m. Tertulle. Genealogy.EU says that she was the dau. of Hugo "Le Abbe" (Hugo, Abbot of St. Quintin, 802-844), an illeitimate son of Charlemagne (hereinafter Hugo #2). However, Find A Grave's memorial for Petronilla/Petronelle (#147096299) says that her father was Hugo "The Abbot" Welf (unk-886), a son of Conrad I of Auxerre (hereinafter Hugo #2).
     Two articles in Wikipedia on Hugo #1 (Abbot of Saint-Quentin and son of Charlemagne), and Hugo #2 (unk-886) discusses the confusion and assigns Petronilla/Petronelle as the dau. of Hugo #2 and thus granddau. of Conrad I.
Per Wikipedia - Hugo #1:
     Hugh (abbot of Saint-Quentin) - Hugh (802–844) was the illegitimate son of Charlemagne and his concubine Regina, with whom he had one other son: Bishop Drogo of Metz (801–855). Along with Drogo and his illegitimate half-brother Theodoric, Hugh was tonsured and sent from the palace of Aachen to a monastery in 818 by his father's successor, Louis the Pious, following the revolt of King Bernard of Italy.[1] Hugh rose to become abbot of several abbacies: Saint-Quentin (822/23), Lobbes (836), and Saint-Bertin (836). In 834,[1] he was made imperial archchancellor by his half-brother.[2]
     On Louis's death in 840, his sons began to fight over the inheritance. In 841, Hugh sided with his nephew Charles the Bald against Louis and Lothair.[3] In 842, Charles spent Christmas with Hugh at Saint-Quentin on his eastern frontier.[4] Hugh's interventions probably secured Saint-Quentin for Charles's kingdom in the division that came with the Treaty of Verdun (843).[5]
     Hugh was part of the small army which, on its way south to join Charles at Toulouse, was ambushed by Pippin II in the Angoumois on 14 June 844. Hugh was killed by a lance, and according to the anonymous verse lament composed about his death—called the Rhythmus de obitu Hugonis abbatis or Planctus Ugoni abbatis[6]—Charles wept over his body.[7][8]
     Hugh is sometimes confused with Hugh the Abbot, resulting in the erroneous claim that he had a daughter, Petronilla, who married Tertullus of Anjou, the semi-legendary father of Ingelger, first count of Anjou. The late accounts of the Angevin origins actually make Petronilla a kinswoman of Hugh the Abbot, not of Charlemagne's son. (emphasis added)

Per Wikipedia - Hugo #2:
     Hugh the Abbot (died 12 May 886) was a member of the Welf family, a son of Conrad I of Auxerre and Adelaide. After his father's death, his mother apparently married Robert the Strong, the margrave of Neustria. On Robert's death in 866, Hugh became the regent and guardian for Robert's sons, Odo and Robert.
     Hugh entered the monastery and rose to become abbot of Saint-Germain d'Auxerre. Despite his vows, he was no peaceful, contemplative monk but the epitome of the warrior-monk of his age. King Charles the Bald sent him on a military expedition to the Nivernais. One can see in this the clerical tendency to support the reigning dynasty against the great vassals. Hugh welcomed Charles when the king had to flee during an 858 invasion of Louis the German, when his vassals refused him aid and rebelled under Robert the Strong. When Robert regained favour, Hugh was exiled to Lotharingia, where he became archbishop of Cologne (864). He was called back to France soon, however.
     In 866, upon Robert's death, Hugh received all the former's abbacies, including Noirmoutiers and Saint-Martin de Tours, counties, including Tours, and the margraviate between the Seine and the Loire (Neustria). The only lands the sons of Robert inherited were in Beauce and Touraine. Despite being Robert's opponent during his life, after his death Hugh became the guardian of Robert's children. Hugh was endued with great political sense and fought the Vikings vigorously. He was the archchaplain of the royal court and one of the chief ministers of the joint-kings Louis III and Carloman. Hugh tried to maintain the alliance of the related Carolingian monarchs against the Vikings. He united all the Carolingian kingdoms against the usurper Boso of Provence. He supported Charles the Fat on his succession to West Francia in 884, but he died before he could lend aid to the defence of Paris during the siege of 885–86.

It is unclear why these two sources refer to the wife of Comte Robert by different names, as "Adelais comitisse" who signed the 959 charter must have been the same person as the wife of Robert named in 956 because the former document also refers to "Erberti filii eorum". It is possible that the reference to "Werram" is a transcription error as no other reference to this name has been found in other contemporary French sources.

; Per Genealogics: "Robert was born between 910 and 915, the son of Heribert II, comte de Meaux, Soissons et Vermandois, and Adela of Neustria. Mentioned in documents from 940, Robert obtained the county of Meaux in the partition of his father's lands in 946, three years after his death. By his marriage about 950 to Adelheid de Bourgogne, heiress of Troyes, daughter of Giselbert, duc de Bourgogne, comte de Châlons sur Saône, and Ermengard de Autun, he received the county of Troyes. The union of these two counties was the origin of the county of Champagne. In 959 Robert captured the city of Dijon and drove out the bishop, but he was attacked in 960 by Lothar I, king of France, and Emperor Otto I 'the Great', and had to submit. Robert and Adelheid had a son Heribert and daughter Adelais. Only Adelais would have progeny, marrying Geoffrey I, comte d'Anjou. Robert died on 19 August 967, and was succeeded by Heribert."⁶

     BIRTH     884, France
     DEATH     943 (aged 58–59)
     Herbert II was born on 884 in Vermandois, Normandy, France and died on February 23, 943 in Aisne, France. He was the Count of Vermandois and Count of Troyes, and was the son of Herbert I of Vermandois.
     He inherited the domain of his father and in 907, added to it the Saint de Soissons abbey. His marriage with Adela of France (also known as Liégarde) brought him the County of Meaux. In 918, he was also named Count of Mézerais and of the Véxin. With his cousin Bernard, Count of Beauvais and Senlis, he constituted a powerful group in the west of France, to the north and east of Paris. In 923, he imprisoned King Charles III in Chateau-Thierry, then in Péronne.
In 922, the Archbishop of Rheims, Seulf, called on Herbert II to reduce some of his vassals who were in rebellion against him. On the death of Seulf, in 925, with the help of King Rudolph, he acquired for his second son Hugh (then five years old) the archbishopric of Rheims, which had a large inheritance in France and Germany. In 926, on the death of Count Roger of Laon, Herbert demanded this County for Eudes, his eldest son. He settled there, initially against the will of King Rudolph and constructed a fortress there. Rudolph yielded to pressure to free king Charles III, whom Herbert still held in prison. In 930, Herbert took the castle of Vitry in Perthois at the expense of Boso, the brother of King Rudolph. Rudolph united his army with the army of Hugh, marquis of Neustria, and in 931, they entered Rheims and defeated Hugh, the son of Herbert. Artaud became the new archbishop of Reims. Herbert II then lost, in three years, Vitry, Laon,
Chateau-Thierry, and Soissons. The intervention of his ally, Henry the Fowler, allowed him to restore his domains (except Rheims and Laon) in exchange for his submission to King Rudolph.
     Later Herbert allied with Hugh the Great and William Longsword,duke of Normandy against King Louis IV, who allocated the County of Laon to Roger II, the son of Roger I, in 941. Herbert and Hugh the Great took back Rheims and captured Artaud. Hugh, the son of Herbert, was restored as archbishop. Again the mediation of the German King Otto I in Visé, near Liège, in 942 allowed for the normalization of the situation.
     Herbert II died on 23 February 943 without having succeeded in building the principality of which he dreamed. His succession was reconciled by Hugh the Great, maternal uncle of his children. It took place in 946 and led to an equitable distribution between the sons of Herbert II: Herbert III, Robert, Adalbert, and Hugh (his other son Eudes died before 946). As for his girls, Adela was married to Arnulf I, count of Flanders, Luitgarde (widow of William Longsword) was married to Theobald I, count of Blois, the first lieutenant of Hugh. She brought to Theobald Provins and domains in the Mézerais.

; Per Wikipedia:
     "Herbert II (died 23 February 943), Count of Vermandois, Count of Meaux, and Count of Soissons. He was the first to exercise power over the territory that became the province of Champagne.
Life
     "Herbert was the son of Herbert I of Vermandois.[1] He was apparently well aware of his descent from Charlemagne.[2] Herbert inherited the domain of his father and in 907, added to it the Abbey of St. Medard, Soissons. He took the position of Lay abbot entitling him to the income of those estates.[1] His marriage with a daughter of king Robert I of France brought him the County of Meaux.[3]
     "In 922, when Seulf became Archbishop of Rheims, in an effort to appease Herbert II Seulf solemnly promised him he could nominate his successor.[4] In 923, Count Herbert took the bold step of imprisoning King Charles III, who died still a captive in 929. at an unknown age [3] Then, on the death of Seulf in 925, with the help of King Rudolph, he acquired for his second son Hugh (then five years old) the archbishopric of Rheims.[5] Herbert took the additional step of sending emissaries to Rome to Pope John X to gain his approval, which that pope gave in 926.[4] On his election young Hugh was sent to Auxerre to study.[2]
     "In 926, on the death of Count Roger I of Laon. Herbert demanded this countship for Eudes, his eldest son.[6] He took the town in defiance of King Rudolph leading to a clash between the two in 927.[2] Using the threat of releasing King Charles III, whom he held captive, Herbert managed to hold the city for four more years.[2] But after the death of Charles in 929, Rudolph again attacked Laon in 931 successfully defeating Herbert.[2] The same year the king entered Rheims and defeated archbishop Hugh, the son of Herbert.[7] Artaud became the new archbishop of Reims.[7] Herbert II then lost, in three years, Vitry, Laon, Château-Thierry, and Soissons.[8] The intervention of his ally, Henry the Fowler, allowed him to restore his domains (except Rheims and Laon) in exchange for his submission to King Rudolph.
     "Later Herbert allied with Hugh the Great and William Longsword, duke of Normandy against King Louis IV, who allocated the County of Laon to Roger II, the son of Roger I, in 941. Herbert and Hugh the Great took back Rheims and captured Artaud.[9] Hugh, the son of Herbert, was restored as archbishop.[9] Again the mediation of the German King Otto I in Visé, near Liège, in 942 allowed for the normalization of the situation.
Death and legacy
     "Herbert II died on 23 February 943 at Saint-Quentin, Aisne (the capital of the county of Vermandois).[1] His vast estates and territories were divided among his sons.[10] Vermandois and Amiens went to the two elder sons while Robert and Herbert, the younger sons, were given the valuable holdings scattered throughout Champagne.[10] On Robert's death his brother's son Herbert III inherited them all. Herbert III's only son Stephen died childless in 1019–20 thus ending the male line of Herbert II.[10]
Family
     "Herbert married Adele, daughter of Robert I of France.[11] Together they had the following children:
** Eudes of Vermandois, Count of Amiens and of Vienne, (c.?910–946)[1]
** Adalbert I, Count of Vermandois (c.?915–987), married Gerberge of Lorraine[1]
** Adela of Vermandois (910–960), married 934 Count Arnulf I of Flanders[1]
** Herbert 'the Old' (c.?910–980), Count of Omois, Meaux and Troyes, and abbot of St. Medard, Soissons, married 951 Eadgifu of Wessex daughter of Edward the Elder King of England and widow of Charles III King of France.[b][1]
** Sprota Adele de Senlis (913–945), captive of William I, Duke of Normandy;[1] and fathered Richard I, Duke of Normandy.
** Robert of Vermandois, Count of Meaux and Châlons († 967)[1]
** Luitgarde of Vermandois (c.?915–978), married 940 William I, Duke of Normandy;[1] married secondly, c.?943–44, Theobald I of Blois[c][12] Their son was Odo I, Count of Blois.[10]
** Hugh of Vermandois (920–962), Archbishop of Reims[1]
** Guy I, Count of Soissons (d. 986).[13]
Notes
a. King Charles was the godfather to one of Herbert II's sons. See: Rodulfus Glaber, The Five Books of the Histories, ed. & trans. John France (Oxford: The Clarendon Press, 1989), pp. 12–13 n. 1.
b. Herbert 'the Old', Count of Meux the son of Herbert II is sometimes confused with his nephew, Herbert III, Count of Meux and Troyes, son of Robert Count of Meux. It was Herbert 'the Old' who married Eadgifu of Wessex in 951, his nephew Herbert III wasn't born until c.?950. See ES III/1, 49; K. Norgate, 'Odo of Champagne', EHR 5, 19 (Jul. 1890), 488.
c. It was Hugh the Great who, taking advantage of the youth of Herbert II's successor, gave William Longwsord's widow, Luitgarde to his own vassal Theobald 'the Deceiver', count of Blois. But Glaber mistakenly credited Duke William's murder to Theobald 'the Deceiver' instead of Arnulf of Flanders. See: Rodulfus Glaber, The Five Books of the Histories, ed. & trans. John France (Oxford: The Clarendon Press, 1989), pp. 164–5, n. 2.

Biographie
Famille
     "Fils de Herbert Ier mort entre 900 et 907 et de Leutgarde, fille du comte de Troyes Adalelme, Herbert II épousa avant 907, Adèle de France, fille de Robert, marquis de Neustrie et futur roi de France sous le nom de Robert Ier. De cette union naquirent1 :
La capture et la détention du roi Charles le Simple
     "Ayant hérité des biens de son père, il augmente sa puissance territoriale vers le Vexin et la Champagne. En 922, il participe à la révolte des grands du royaume contre le roi de Francie occidentale Charles le Simple qu'il capture par traîtrise en 923. Il le garde prisonnier, et s'en sert comme moyen de pression vis-à-vis du roi Raoul obtenant ainsi de ce dernier le siège archiépiscopal de Reims pour son fils Hugues.
     "En 926, il s'empare d'Amiens. Il obtient le comté de Laon en 928, et y construit une citadelle (château Gaillot), mais doit rendre la ville en 931 et la citadelle en 938. En 931, il se rapproche du roi de Germanie Henri l'Oiseleur, mais se soumet au roi de Francie occidentale en 935. Il intervient ensuite plusieurs fois à Reims pour restaurer son fils.
Une mort tragique
     "Selon Raoul Glaber2 et aussi Dom Le long qui rapporte une tradition locale, il aurait été pendu sur ordre de Louis IV d'Outremer3,4. Après sa mort, ses biens sont partagés entre ses différents fils par son neveu et beau frère, Hugues le Grand, mettant fin ainsi à la puissance vermandoise.
     "Herbert II est décédé le 23 février 943 à Saint-Quentin (Aisne), la capitale du comté de Vermandois. Ses vastes domaines et les territoires ont été répartis entre ses fils.
Tombeau
     "Herbert II de Vermandois fut inhumé dans l'église de la collégiale de Saint-Quentin, "capitale" de ses possessions où il mourut. La collégiale devint une basilique en 1876. En août 1917, les Allemands allumèrent un incendie qui détruisit quasiment toute l’église. La crypte fut minée et sauta. Il ne reste rien de la sépulture de ce prince

     "HERIBERT [II], son of HERIBERT [I] Comte de Vermandois & his wife [Lietgardis] --- ([880]-23 Feb 943, bur Saint Quentin). None of the sources so far consulted state explicitly that Héribert [II] and his sister Beatrix were the children of Héribert [I] but this looks probable. He succeeded his father in [900/907] as Comte de Meaux, de Soissons et de Vermandois. Lay Abbot of St Crépin and St Médard at Soissons. Comte Héribert took part in the rebellion against Charles III “le Simple” King of France in 922 and tricked the ex-king into capture after he fled following his defeat near Soissons in 923. Flodoard records in 923 that "Heribertus comes" sent “Bernardum consobrinum suum” with a delegation “ad Karolum” who was “in castello suo super Somnam apud Sanctum Quintinum”, and who was detained “in...munitionem suam...Castellum Theoderici super Maternam fluvium”[198]. Héribert consolidated his power by arranging for his young son to be made Archbishop of Reims. Comte Héribert received Péronne from Raoul King of France in 924. Together with forces of Arnoul I Count of Flanders, Héribert captured the Viking stronghold of Eu[199]. Following this he apparently forged an alliance with Comte Rollo in [927][200], leaving his son Eudes with Rollo as a hostage. Comte Héribert unsuccessfully attempted to capture Laon in 927[201]. [Comte de Vienne]: Flodoard records that Ugo King of Italy gave "provintiam Viennensem" to Héribert Comte de Varmandois in 928, and that "Odonis filii sui [=Heriberto]" was appointed vicecomes[202]. No primary source has yet been identified which describes Héribert as “Comte de Vienne” or confirms whether he adopted the comital title. Flodoard provides an insight into the continuing rivalries regarding Vienne when he records in 933 that it was granted to "Rodulfo regi" [Rudolf II King of Upper Burgundy, see the document BURGUNDY KINGS][203]. With help from Hugues "le Grand" [Capet], King Raoul subdued Vermandois and Comte Héribert made his submission to the king[204]. In 939. Héribert joined the alliance against Louis IV King of France led by Otto I "der Große" King of Germany, who raided Frankish territory and forced King Louis to renounce his claim to the throne of Lotharingia. Together with Hugues "le Grand" [Capet], Héribert besieged Reims, forcing the restoration of his son as archbishop, and also besieged King Louis at Laon. Flodoard records the death of "Heribertus comes" in 943 and his burial at Saint-Quentin[205]. The necrology of Reims Cathedral records the death "VII Kal Mar" of "Heribertus comes"[206]. On his death in 943, his territories were divided between his sons by their maternal uncle Hugues "le Grand".
     "m (before 21 May 907) [ADELA], daughter of ROBERT Marquis en Neustrie, Comte de Paris [later ROBERT I King of France] & his first wife [Adela] --- (before 898-). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to "comitis Heriberti gener…Roberti" and in a later passage to the sister of "dux Hugo Cappatus" as the wife of "comitis Heriberti de Peroni, Campanie et Veromandie" but does not name her[207]. Her origin is confirmed by Flodoard naming "Hugo dux cum nepotibus suis, Heriberti filiis" in 943[208]. Her birth date is estimated from the birth of her first child in [915]. Her name is deduced as follows. The 21 May 907 donation of Rebais abbey to the church of Paris refers to "comitis Rotberti et Adele comitisse"[209]. Although this phrasing usually indicates husband and wife, Settipani suggests that the chronology of the life of King Robert's son Hugues (attested as Robert's son by his second wife Béatrix) favours his birth, and therefore his father's second marriage, well before 907, which would mean "Adele" could not have been Robert's wife. This reasoning appears based firstly on Hugues already being married in [914], and secondly on the probability of his having reached the age of majority when he was recognised as duke in 922. The 907 document is explained as referring to Robert and his elder daughter. The issue, however, is not beyond doubt, especially if the document in question was misdated. Her marriage date assumes that this identification is correct.
     "Comte Héribert II & his wife had [eight] children."
Med Lands cites:

; Per Genealogics:
     "Heribert was born about 879, the son of Heribert I, comte de Vermandois, and Bertha de Morvois. He was count of Vermandois and count of Troyes.
     "He inherited the domain of his father and in 907 he added to it the Saint de Soissons abbey. His marriage with Adela (also known as Liégarde) of Neustria brought him the county of Meaux. In 918 he was also named count of Mézerais and of the Véxin. With his cousin Bernhard, count of Beauvais and Senlis, he constituted a powerful group in the west of France, to the north and east of Paris. In 923 he imprisoned King Charles III in Château-Thierry, then in Péronne. He and his wife Adela, daughter of Robert I, king of France, and his wife Aelis, had seven children of whom Adela, Robert, Adalbert and Liutgarde would have progeny.
     "In 922 the archbishop of Reims, Seulf, called on Heribert to reduce some of his vassals who were in rebellion against him. On the death of Seulf in 925, with the help of Raoul, king of France he acquired for his second son Hugues (then five years old) the archbishopric of Reims, which had a large inheritance in France and Germany. In 926, on the death of Roger, count of Laon, Heribert demanded this county for Eudes, his eldest son. He settled there, initially against the will of King Raoul, and constructed a fortress there. Raoul yielded to pressure to free King Charles III 'the Simple', whom Heribert still held in prison.
     "In 930 Heribert took the castle of Vitry-en-Perthois at the expense of Boso, the brother of King Raoul. Raoul united his army with that of Hugues, marquis of Neustria, and in 931 they entered Reims and defeated Hugues, the son of Heribert. Artaud became the new archbishop of Reims. Heribert II then lost, in three years, Vitry, Laon, Château-Thierry and Soissons. The intervention of his ally, Emperor Heinrich I 'the Fowler', allowed him to restore his domains (except Reims and Laon) in exchange for his submission to King Raoul.
     "Later Heribert allied with Hugues 'the Great', duke of the Franks, and Guillaume I 'Longsword', duke of Normandy, against King Louis IV, who allocated the county of Laon to Roger II, the son of Roger I, in 941. Heribert and Hugues 'the Great' took back Reims and captured Artaud. Hugues, the son of Heribert, was restored as archbishop. Again the mediation of the German King Otto I, in Visé near Liège, in 942 allowed for the normalisation of the situation.
     "Heribert II died on 23 February 943 without having succeeded in building the principality of which he dreamed. His succession was reconciled by Hugues 'the Great', maternal uncle of his children. It took place in 946 and led to an equitable distribution between Heribert's sons."³ GAV-28 EDV-29 GKJ-30.

     "Herbert I (c. 848/850 – 907) or Heribertus I, Count of Vermandois, Count of Meaux, Count of Soissons, and lay abbot of Saint Quentin. He was a Carolingian aristocrat who played a significant role in Francia.
     "Herbert was the son of Pepin of Vermandois and one great-grandson of Pepin of Italy, son of Charlemagne. he was possibly matrilineal descendants of Nibelungid. his early life was unknown. Herbert became count of Soissons before 889 and was probably charged with defending the Oise against Viking intrusions. A contemporary of Baldwin II, Count of Flanders he had the advantage of being a Carolingian, a great-grandson of Pepin of Italy, a son of Charlemagne.[1] Herbert controlled both St. Quentin and Péronne and his activities in the upper Somme river valley, such as the capture and murder (rather than ransom) of his brother Raoul in 896, may have caused Baldwin II to have him assassinated in 907.[2]
     "Herbert arranged a marriage alliance to Robert of Neustria by giving in marriage his daughter Beatrice as Robert's second wife.[1] As a part of this pact Herbert also agreed to his son Herbert II of Vermandois marrying Adela, Robert's daughter by his first wife.[1] Another daughter, Cunegonda, married Odo of Wetterau.[3]

Regino names (in order) "Bernardum, Pippinum et Heribertum" as the three children of "Pippinum", specifying that Héribert killed "Rodulfum comitem filium Balduini comitis"[178]. "Heribertus, Bernhardi frater" is named in the Vita Hludowicis Imperatoris[179]. He was at the court of Emperor Charles II “le Chauve” in 877. Comte de Soissons 886/898. Abbé de St Crépin. Comte de Meaux et de Madrie 888/889[180]. He became Comte de Vermandois in 896. The Annales Vedastini record that "Rodulfus comes" disrupted the peace in 896 and took the property of "Heribertus et Erkingerus", that "Odo rex" besieged "castrum sancti Quintini et Peronam" and expelled Raoul's supporters, and that Héribert killed Raoul[181]. Comte Héribert opposed Eudes King of France, but was reconciled with the king in 897, an event which may have been confirmed by the marriage of Héribert's daughter to the king's nephew Robert[182]. Baudouin II Count of Flanders attacked Vermandois, was driven out by 900 but reconquered it and killed Héribert [I] Comte de Vermandois in revenge for his brother's death[183].
     "m [LIETGARDIS], daughter of --- (-27 May ----). The name of the wife of Comte Héribert is not known. However, a "Comtesse Liedgardis", different from the daughter of Comte Héribert [II], is named who could have been his wife[184]. If this is correct, the necrology of Reims which records the death "VI Kal Jun" of "Letgardis comitissa"[185], may refer to the same person[186]. According to the Histoire de Guise, Albert Comte de Vermandois constructed the abbey of Saint-Michel at Rochefort in 945 "d'accord avec la comtesse Hérésinde sa femme", while in 947 Hérésinde founded the nearby Benedictine convent of Bucilly[187]. The source assumes that this refers to Albert Comte de Vermandois, but his supposed marriage to Hérésinde is not mentioned by Settipani[188]. According to the introduction to the Cartulaire de l'abbaye de Bucilly, Bucilly was founded by "Gerberge, femme d'Albert I Comte de Vermandois" although it notes that "certains auteurs ont voulu faire remonter [sa fondation] à la libéralité de Hersinde femme d'Herbert Comte de Vermandois morte en 901"[189].

Biographie
     "Il apparaît en 877 à la cour du roi Charles le Chauve et est cité en 889 comme un fidèle du roi Eudes. Il devient comte de Vermandois en 896, succédant au Nibelungide Théodoric, qui était probablement son grand-père maternel. Dans les années qui suivent, il hérite de plusieurs comtés (Soissons, Meaux et Vexin), tenus par d'autres Nibelungides. Cet ensemble forma une marche militaire créée en 890 pour lutter contre les Normands.

However, this claim was questioned by Erich Brandenburg, who objected to the apparent uncle-niece marriage and expressed doubt as to Béatrix's name ["angeblich Beatrix genannt" Brandenburg (1964), 88, n. 3].

     "ROBERT, son of ROBERT "le Fort" Comte [de Tours], Marquis en Neustrie & his [second] wife --- ([860]-killed in battle near Soissons 15 Jun 923). "Rodbertum fratrem Odonis regis" is named in the Cartulaire de Saint-Bertin[65]. He was installed as lay abbot of Marmoutier on the death of Hugues l’Abbé in 886[66]. He succeeded his brother in 888 as Marquis en Neustrie, and probably also as Comte de Paris, d'Orléans et de Tours. After his brother King Eudes captured Poitou in 893, he installed Robert as Comte de Poitou but the latter was expelled by Adémar, son of Comte Emenon[67]. Abbot of Saint-Martin de Tours: "Robert abbé de Saint-Martin" confirmed possessions of Saint-Martin de Tours by charter dated 30 Aug 894[68]. Eudes King of France granted the abbey of Saint-Hilaire de Poitiers to the bishop of Poitiers, at the request of "marchiones…Hrobertus…atque Ademarus", by charter dated to [894][69]. After the death of his brother in 898, Robert supported Charles III King of France who seems to have confirmed Robert's position in Neustrie. “Rotbertus...beati Martini abba...et comes” restored “cellulæ...Sancti Clementis”, previously donated by “predecessor noster domnus Odo germanus noster...tunc abbas deinde Francorum rex”, to Saint-Martin by charter dated 13 Sep 900, subscribed by “...Attonis vicecomitis, Guarnegaudi vicecomitis, Fulconis vicecomitis, Rainaldi vicecomitis...”[70]. He rebelled against the king in 922, triggered by the confiscation of the monastery of Chelles by King Charles from Rothilde (who was the mother-in-law of Robert's son Hugues) in favour of his favourite Haganon. He was elected ROBERT I King of France 22 Jun 922, consecrated at Reims by Gauthier Archbishop of Sens. Flodoard records in 922 that "Franci" elected “Rotbertum seniorem” who was invested “Remis apud Sanctum Remigium ab episcopis et primatibus regni”[71]. King Robert was killed fighting ex-King Charles, although his forces won the battle: Flodoard records in 923 that "Karolus cum suis Lothariensibus" crossed “Mosam...ad Atiniacum...et...super Axonam” where he lost the battle near Soissons in which “Rotbertus...rex” was killed[72]. The necrology of Chartres cathedral records the death "XVII Kal Jul" of "Rotbertus rex"[73]. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Magloire records the death "XVII Kal Jul" of "Robertus rex"[74]. The necrology of Auxerre cathedral records that "Rotbertus rex" was killed in battle 15 Jun[75].
     "m firstly ---. The name of Robert's first wife is not known. However, as King Robert's known wife Béatrix de Vermandois could not have been the mother of his daughter Adela (married to the brother of Béatrix) it is assumed that this earlier marriage is correct. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[76], Robert's first wife was named AELIS. This may be based on the 21 May 907 donation of Rebais abbey to the church of Paris which refers to "comitis Rotberti et Adele comitisse"[77]. However, as shown below, this is more likely to refer to Robert and his daughter than to his wife.
     "m secondly ([897]) BEATRIX de Vermandois, daughter of HERIBERT [I] Comte de Vermandois & his wife --- ([880/83]-after 26 Mar 931). The Historia Francorum Senonensis records that "sororem Herberti" was the wife of "Robertus princeps" who rebelled against Charles III "le Simple" King of the West Franks[78]. Guillaume of Jumièges records that “Rodbertus dux” married “sororem Herberti” by whom he had “Hugonem Magnum”[79]. "Hugo rector Abbatiæ sancti Martini" names "genitoris nostri Rotberti quondam regis ac genitricis nostræ domnæ Beatricis" in his charter dated 26 Mar 931[80]. The marriage date is estimated by Werner on the assumption that the marriage accompanied the political reconciliation between Beatrix's father and Robert's uncle[81]. If the 907 donation mentioned above in fact refers to Robert's first wife, his marriage to Beatrix would of course have taken place after that date."

     "BEATRIX de Vermandois ([880/83]-after 26 Mar 931). None of the sources so far consulted state explicitly that Heribert [II] and his sister Beatrix were the children of Heribert [I] but this looks probable. Her birth date range is estimated from her eldest daughter giving birth to her own first child in [915]. The Historia Francorum Senonensis records that "sororem Herberti" was the wife of "Robertus princeps" who rebelled against Charles III "le Simple" King of the West Franks[190]. Guillaume of Jumièges records that “Rodbertus dux” married “sororem Herberti” by whom he had “Hugonem Magnum”[191]. The marriage may have been arranged to confirm her father's reconciliation with Eudes King of France, who was her husband's uncle[192]. Werner suggests [897] as the date of the marriage, on the assumption that it followed the political reconciliation between Béatrix's father and Robert's uncle[193]. As discussed in relation to Robert's first marriage in the document FRANCE CAPETIAN KINGS, there is a possibility that Robert's first wife was still alive in 907, which would of course mean that Béatrix's marriage took place after that date.

     BIRTH     858, France
     DEATH     921 (aged 62–63), France
     Richard the Justiciar, Count of Autun, Margrave and Duke of Burgundy. Son of Bivin or Budwine, Count of Italy, Lay Abbot of Gorze and Richildis of Arles, grandson of Richard Count of Amiens and Meaux and Boson III, the Elder, a line called the Bosonids. His siblings included Boso of Provence and King of Lower Burgundy and Richildis, the wife of Charles the Bald, the Holy Roman Emperor.
     Richard married Adelaide, the daughter of Conrad II, Count of Auxerre, Waldrada of Worms and Judith, daughter of Eberhard of Friuli. They had the following children:
* Rudolph, his father's successor and King of Francia
* Hught the Black, Duke of Burgundy
* Boso
* Ermengard, married Gilbert, Duke of Burgundy
* Adelaide, married Reginar II, Count of Hainaut
* Richilda, married Litaud I, Count of Macon
     Both brothers accompanied Charles to his imperial coronation in Pavia in February of 876, during which Charles promoted Boso to Duke and Viceroy of Italy. Charles would die in 877, Boso returned to France, entrusting Italy and Provence to Richard as Hugh the Abbot. Louis the Stammer, King of the West Franks died in 879, Boso claimed himself King of Provence, and Richard struck out on his own, taking Boso's Autun, starting the war between the brothers that ended only when Charles and Fat, in cahoots with Richard, captured Boso' wife, Ermengard, and her children, keeping them prisoners at Autun while Boso hid in Provence. Other reports indicate Ermengard took shelter with Richard in fear from Charles, Carloman and Louis III.
     At his death bed, Richard was encouraged to plea for a pardon for the blood he shed, to which he responded,"When I have died a brigand, I have saved the life of honest men, the death of one helping prevent his accomplices from making more evil."

     "Richard, Duke of Burgundy (858–921), also known as Richard of Autun or Richard the Justiciar, was Count of Autun from 880 and the first Margrave and Duke of Burgundy. He eventually attained suzerainty over all the counties of Burgundy save Mâcon and by 890 he was referred to as dux (duke) and by 900 as marchio (margrave). By 918 he was being called dux Burgundionem or dux Burgundiae, which probably signified less the existence of a unified Burgundian dukedom than feudal suzerainty over a multiplicity of counties in a specific region.
Life
     "Richard was a Bosonid, the son of Bivin of Gorze and Richildis. His elder brother was Boso of Provence and his younger sister was Richildis, second wife of Charles the Bald.
     "In 875, after the death of the Emperor Louis II, Richard and Boso accompanied Charles to Italy for his imperial coronation. In February 876, in Pavia, while preparing for his return journey, Charles nominated Boso "Duke and Viceroy of Italy and Duke of Provence". In 877, on Charles' death, Boso returned to France and confided the realm of Italy and the duchy of Provence to Richard and Hugh the Abbot as missi dominici.
     "In 879, Boso declared himself "King of Provence" following the death of Louis the Stammerer, but Richard defected from Boso and took Boso's county of Autun, which Carloman II confirmed to him in 880. The two joined battle on the Saône and Richard captured Mâcon and garrisoned it in the name of Carloman and Louis III under the command of Bernard Plantapilosa, a relative of the hereditary Counts of Mâcon. After taking Lyon, he besieged his brother's capital of Vienne, where he was joined by Louis, Carloman, and the emperor Charles the Fat. Richard eventually drove Boso out in 882 and captured his wife Ermengard and children Engelberga and Louis, sending them as prisoners to Autun. Boso went into hiding in Provence.
     "After the death of Charles the Fat in 888, Richard supported the claim of Duke Rudolph to be King of Upper Burgundy and married his sister Adelaide, daughter of Conrad II of Auxerre. Richard also supported the coronation of his nephew Louis as King of Provence in 890.

     "RICHARD, son of comte BUVINUS [Bouvin] & his wife --- d'Arles (-[31 Aug or 1 or 29 Sep] 921, bur Abbaye de Sainte-Colombe de Sens, Yonne). The Annales Bertiniani name "Richardus frater Bosonis" when recording that, after the capture of Vienne by the forces of King Carloman, he took “uxorem Bosonis et filiam eius” back to “comitatum suum Augustudensem” in 882[2]. Gingins-la-Sarra suggests that Richard was the uterine brother of King Boson, their mother having married secondly Theoderic [VI] “le Trésorier” Comte d´Autun (see the document CAROLINGIAN NOBILITY)[3]. He refers to the testament dated to [Jan 876] of Ekkehard Comte d´Autun, possibly the brother of Theoderic [VI], which names "…Theoderico et Richardo filio eius…" among the beneficiaries[4]. He identifies “Richardo” with the future duke of Burgundy, although there seems to be no basis for assuming that this co-identity is correct other than the name. The name Richard is well-established in the Bosonid family, which does not appear to be the case in the Theoderic/Nibelung family to which Theoderic [VI] belonged, where it was probably recently introduced through Theoderic´s wife (Settipani suggests that she was the sister of King Boson´s father[5]). In addition, Richard Duke of Burgundy named one of his sons Boson, although this is not conclusive for establishing his paternity as the name also appears in Duke Richard´s maternal line. On the other hand, none of the typical names of the Theoderic/Nibelung family appear among the descendants of Duke Richard. In any case, the chronology does not appear favourable. Richard is named as count in 876 (see below). If he had been King Boson´s uterine brother, he could not have been more than ten years old at the time, which is incompatible with his bearing the comital title. Gingins-la-Sarra´s hypothesis cannot be dismissed entirely. However, it is a convoluted interpretation of the otherwise simple statement in the Annales Bertiniani that Richard was King Boson´s brother. Unless further information comes to light in other sources, it is suggested that the simple explanation is the best. An agreement dated Feb 876 of Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks names "Bosonis…ducis et sacri palatii archiministri atque imperiali missi, Richardi comitis…" as present in Italy with the king, although it fails to specify the family relationship between them[6]. "Richardus comes" is named as present in a charter dated 4 Sep 876 under which Emperor Charles II "le Chauve" granted property "villam…Piredus in pago Senonico"[7]. He presumably assumed the role of his brother Boson as missus in Italy in early 877, when the latter was recalled by Emperor Charles II. "Richardi comitis, Teutbaldi comitis, Bernardi comitis" subscribed the charter dated 25 Jul 879 under which "Boso…et coniunx mea Hirmingardi proles imperiales" donated property "in pago Laticense…in villa Lantinus" to the abbey of Montiérender[8]. Comte d’Autun. At first sight, this might appear to provide the missing connection with Theoderic [VI], who was also Comte d´Autun. However, it is recorded that King Boson disputed Theoderic´s right to the county, in which case it is unlikely that he would have awarded it to Theoderic´s son. Richard established himself in the future duchy of Burgundy, north of his brother's realm, with his capital at Autun. “Carlomannus…Rex” restored property “villam Taniacum” to the church of Autun, at the request of “Richardi Comiti Augustodensis”, by charter dated 1 Dec 880, the text ending with “Theodoricus Comes ambasciavit”[9]. He was invested as lay abbot of Saint-Symphorien by Carloman King of the East Franks in 880. He led the Carolingian army which besieged his brother King Boson at Vienne in 882. The counties in Burgundy, except Mâcon, submitted to him. He succeeded his wife's uncle Hugues l'Abbé as Comte d'Auxerre in 886. He was later known as RICHARD "le Justicier" Duke of Burgundy, although it is unlikely that he was considered at the time as founder of a unified duchy of Burgundy as such, rather as the suzerain of various counties who held the title "duke". "Richardo marchione…eius filiis Rodulpho, Hugone atque Bosone…comitibus" were present at the restitution of property at "Tiliniaco et Canavis" by charter dated 5 Sep 901[10]. Guillaume de Jumièges records that Rollo besieged “Carnotenam urbem” [Chartres] but was forced to withdraw by "Richardus Burgundionum dux...cum...Antelmus episcopus"[11]. A charter dated 5 Sep 918 records the restitution of “res Sancti Nazarii sitas in villa...Canavas ad Tiliniacum” to the church of Autun, in the presence of “Domno Richardo...Marchione...et...illius filiis Rodulfo atque Bozone”[12]. The death of "Richardus marchio de Burgundia" is recorded by Flodoard in 921[13]. The Annales S. Benigni Divisionensis record the death "II Kal Sep 921" of "Ricardus comes"[14]. The Historia Francorum Senonensis records the death "Kal Sep" of "Richardus dux Burgundiæ", and his burial "in basilica sanctæ Columbæ"[15]. The sacrementaire of Sens cathedral records the death "III Kal Oct" of "Ricardi comitis"[16]. The necrology of Auxerre cathedral records the death 1 Sep of "Richardus comes"[17].
     "m ([887/88]) ADELAIS, daughter of CONRAD Marquis of Transjurania [Welf] & his wife Waldrada --- (-after 14 Jul 929). "Adeleth…comitissa" donated property "villam Poligniacum in comitatu Warasco" to Autun naming "filii mei Hugonis comitis" by charter dated 24 Apr 922, subscribed by "Hugo comes, Rodulphus comes, Boso comes" and witnessed by "Wallonis comitis…"[18]. Her origin is deduced by her being named as sister of "Rodulfi regis" (Rudolf I King of Burgundy) in the latter's 10 Jun 888 charter[19], as well as in her own 14 Jan 929 grant to Cluny, the 929 charter also naming "Richardi principis domni mei"[20]. After her husband died, she retired to a monastery. She transferred the monastery of Roman-Moutier to the monastery of Cluny by charter dated 14 Jul 929[21].

     "Adelaide of Auxerre (born between 865[1] - 870) was a Duchess consort of Burgundy in the Middle Ages. She was the daughter of Conrad II, Duke of Transjurane Burgundy[2] and his wife Waldrada of Worms. In 888, she married Richard, Duke of Burgundy. They had probably three or five children :

Her origin is deduced by her being named as sister of "Rodulfi regis" (Rudolf I King of Burgundy) in the latter's 10 Jun 888 charter[93], as well as in her own 14 Jan 929 grant to Cluny, the 929 charter also naming "Richardi principis domni mei"[94].

; NB: The relationship between Buvinus Comte de Metz and Boson l'Ancien has been explored by Settipani [1993] and is summarized by Wikipédia (Fr.) as follows:
Hypothèse actuelle
     "Mais cette reconstitution est en contradiction avec les Annales de Saint-Bertin, qui indiquent que la reine Teutberge est la tante maternelle de Boson3. Il en ressort que Bivin ne peut pas être frère de Teutberge, mais marié à une des sœurs de cette dernière.
     "Deux autres documents permettent d'envisager une autre piste pour l'origine de Bivin :
** un diplôme de l'empereur Lothaire Ier confirme en 842 une donation faite par Richard, comte et ostiaire de Louis le Pieux à la demande des exécuteurs testamentaires dont son frère Bivin.
** l'historien Richer, parlant de Charles Constantin, comte de Vienne et arrière-petit-fils de Bivin, le dit de famille royale, mais entachée de bâtardise au niveau de son tritavus, c'est-à-dire son ancêtre à la sixième génération.
     "À partir de ces données, Christian Settipani propose la reconstitution suivante4,5,6 :
1. il considère que la famille royale dont Charles Constantin est membre est la famille carolingienne, et que le terme de « famille » concerne dans ce contexte exclusivement la lignée masculine.
2. il considère que, chronologiquement, le tritavus est un fils bâtard de Charles Martel.
3. les seuls fils bâtards connus de Charles Martel sont Remi, évêque de Rouen, qui n'a pas eu de descendance, et le comte Jérôme. Pour Settipani, le tritavus de Charles Constantin est le comte Jérôme.
4. Les prénoms de Richard, porté par un frère et un fils de Bivin, sont peu fréquents au viiie siècle et la seconde épouse du comte Jérôme est une princesse gothe. Il rapproche le prénom de Richard avec celui de Reccared porté par deux rois des Wisigoths (Reccared Ier et Reccared II) et identifie les générations intermédiaires avec les quelques Richard connus."
See the attached diagram of the ancestry as proposed by Settipani [1993], from Wikipédia (Fr.)
Conclusion: Settipani's proposals a certainly speculative, and Med Lands offers a critique and some counter-proposals (which are noted in my Med Lands Notes for the individuals concerned. For now, I have chosed to try to reconstruct the lineage as outlined by Settipani (see attached chart). GA Vaut.^4,10,11 He was living between 842 and 862.¹

     "CONRAD, son of CONRAD [Welf] Comte de Paris & his wife --- (-876). His parentage is deduced from Regino who names "Ruodolfus filius Chuonradi, nepos Huggonis abbatis"[87], the latter being recorded in the Miraculis Sancti Germani as "Hugo" one of the sons of "Chuonradus princeps", the patron of the church of Saint-Germain at Auxerre[88]. He helped save Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks after the invasion of Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks. Comte d'Auxerre. He fell into disgrace in 861, and passed into the service of the sons of Emperor Lothaire. He received from King Louis II the territories of Geneva, Lausanne and Sion. Marquis of Transjurania (which later evolved into the kingdom of Burgundy) in Dec 864 after he killed comte Hubert [Bosonide][89].

     "Conrad II the Younger was the Count of Auxerre from 864 until his death in 876. He was a son of Conrad I of Auxerre, and Adelaide of Tours; an older brother of Hugh the Abbot; and a member of the Bavarian branch of the Welfs.
     "In 858, at the coaxing of Charles the Bald, his cousin, he and his brother betrayed Louis the German when he sent them on an espionage mission and went over to Charles, who rewarded them handsomely because he had lost his Bavarian honores. He acted as Duke of Transjurane (Upper) Burgundy from then until about 864.
     "He married Judith, daughter of Eberhard of Friuli, and later Waldrada of Worms, by whom he left a son, Rudolf,[1] who later became King of Transjurane Burgundy, and a daughter, Adelaide of Auxerre, who married Richard, Duke of Burgundy, and had issue.

; NB: The Henry Project has the following commentaries on the various proposed marriages of Judith:
"Conjectured husband of daughter Engletrude or Judith (unlikely):
     'Heinrich (of "Babenberg"), d. 28 August 886, dux Austrasiorum, marquis in Neustria.
     'For Heinrich, see above. This hypothesis is based partly on the commonly stated theory that Heinrich was the father-in-law of Otto "der Erlauchten", duke of Saxony, and partly on the above mentioned passage in Vita Hathumodae, and is similar to the conjecture of Eckhart and Krüger, but with an added generation and a different daughter of Eberhard, i.e., either Judith [Decker-Hauff (1955), 292-309] or Engeltrude [Eckhardt (1963), 50ff., not seen by me, but outlined by Werner (1967), 452, n. 25]. Decker-Hauff supports this by an onomastic argument that Heinrich had a son Adalard, as did Eberhard, and he conjectures another son Berengar for Heinrich as additional support [Decker-Hauff (1955), 301]. Eckhardt noted that the confraternity book of Reichenau contains an entry naming a Heimirichi and an Engildrud adjacent to one another [MGH Libri Confrat., 267 (#396, lines 15-16)]. This descent of the German king Heinrich I from Eberhard of Friuli has benn accepted by some [e.g., Keats-Rohan (1997), 196-7, 201-2; Jackman (2000), 131-2], but there is no shortage of other explanations for the royal descent of Heinrich which is apparently indicated by the Vita Hathumodae. Metz pointed out that none of the names given to children of Eberhard appear among the children of Heinrich I of Germany, and suggested that the Carolingian ancestry of Heinrich I came via an otherwise unknown daughter of either Charlemagne or Louis the Pious [Metz (1964), 286]. Geldner would make marquis Heinrich's wife a conjectured daughter of a count Adalard (different from Eberhard's son of that name) and descendant of Louis the Pious [Geldner (1971), table]. Hlawitschka conjectures a remoter descent of marquis Heinrich's wife from king Carloman, brother of Charlemagne [Hlawitschka (1974), 146-165; Hlawitschka (2006), 44-52].
     'There are other reasons to be skeptical about the theory. Heinrich I of Germany was born about 876 [he was aged about 60 at his death in 936, Widukind, i, 41, MGH SS 3: 435-6]. Since Heinrich had two elder brothers who died young, his parents are unlikely to have been married after 873, and they were probably married a few years earlier. Allowing 30 years for two 15-year generations, we see that it is very unlikely that Heinrich's maternal grandmother was born later than 843, with a significantly earlier date being much more probable. Gisela could not have been any older than 24 in 843, and she was probably younger. Since Judith appears to have been the youngest of at least nine children of Gisela, it is very improbable that she was born by 843. It is true that in his outline of the family of Gisela, Decker-Hauff provides estimated dates which would give Gisela seven children by 840, but he does this by placing her birth late in 819 (the earliest possible) and by giving her one child in each of the years 834 through 840. However, such extremes are far from probable. Unless major reshuffling of the order of the children is required compared to the order in which they were listed by Gisela, the eldest daughter Engeltrude is the only one who would make a chronologically feasible candidate for this conjecture. However, as pointed out by Werner and Hlawitschka, there is a good reason to doubt that Engeltrude was the wife of Heinrich "of Babenberg". As noted above, on 2 April 870, Engeltrude's mother Gisela gave donations to Cysoing toward the burial of her and Engeltrude ["... ea ratione ut a die presenti idem locus ad quietem meam vel filie mee Ingeltrudis preparatus..." Cart. Cysoing, 8-9 (#4)]. It is very unlikely that Gisela would have been making arrangements for Engeltrude's future burial if she were then married to Heinrich. It is much more likely that Engeltrude was either unmarried or widowed at the time and living with Gisela [Werner (1967), 452, n. 5; Hlawitschka (1974), 163, n. 275]. Thus, the wife of Heinrich "of Babenberg" is unlikely to have been a daughter of Eberhard of Friuli.
"Other conjectured husbands of daughter Judith:
     'In addition to the above supposed marriage to Heinrich, there are at least four other marriages that have been attributed to Eberhard's daughter Judith at one time or another. There does not seem to be any convincing evidence for any of them.

Judith of Friuli (a daughter of Eberhard of Friuli), and later m2. Waldrada of Worms.
