     Arnoud de Theys married Fredeburga (?), daughter of Richard (?) de Vienne, before 27 February 1016
;
Her 2nd husband.^1,2
      ; Per Med Lands:
     "ARNOUL [de Theys] . According to Chorier’s Histoire de Dauphiné, the husband of Fredeburga was "Arnoul, fils du comte Rodolphe", adding that the latter patronised the family of the comtes d’Albon, but he cites no primary source on which assertion is based[253]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[254], he was "Arnoul de Theys" but the primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified.]
     "m FREDEBURGE, daughter of ---. An undated charter records that "Arnulfus et uxor mea Frideburga necnon et filius noster Rodulphus" donated property "unum mansum in episcopatu Gratianopolitano in Valle Navis…les Aberges" to Cluny, witnessed by "Vuigonis comitis"[255]. Chorier’s Histoire de Dauphiné identifies the donors as Fredeburge, widow of Guigues [I] (see above), and her supposed second husband[256]. The key to identifying the donor Fredeburge lies in the dating of this charter. The first member of the family of the comtes d’Albon who is recorded with the comital title was Guigues [III] "Vetus". It is not known when he was awarded the title, but he is not recorded with it in other sources before the mid-10th century. If the witness "Vuigonis comitis" was Guigues [III], which is likely, the donor Fredeburge would have been extremely old if she had been his paternal grandmother. Two other factors point to the donor Fredeburge not being Guigues’s grandmother. Firstly, it is extremely unlikely that Guigues [III]’s maternal grandmother could have given birth to a son by a second marriage, given the birth date estimated for her son by her [first] husband, Humbert. Secondly, she is named in a charter dated 1012 which makes no mention of Fredeburge’s second husband, although it is likely that it predated the undated charter. A more likely explanation is that the donor was Fredeburge, daughter of Guigues [I] & his wife Fredeburge ---, and that the witness to the charter was her nephew. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[257], Fredeburga’s husband was "Arnoul de Theys", although the primary source which confirms his family name has not yet been identified. Chorier’s Histoire de Dauphiné identifies him as "Arnoul, fils du comte Rodolphe", adding that the latter patronised Fredeburge’s family[258]. He cites no primary source on which he bases his statement."

V. Wikipédia (Fr.) Entry #2 (Counts of Albon) has a list of the Albon Dynasty that starts with Guigues d'Albon m. Gotelene and who seems to equate with II.2=III.3, giving the following descent:

VI. Hélène et Thierry outline (in French) various theories concerning the origin of the Seigneurs de Vion and the Comtes d'Albon who descended from them. An image of a chart from their website is attached which summarizes the lineage proposed by Pierre Yves Laffont [2009]. Châteaux du Vivarais. Pouvoirs et peuplement en France méridionale du haut Moyen Âge au XIIIe siècle (p. 121). The descent discussed by Hélène et Thierry starts five generations before Guigues/Guigo [I] with a series of Rostaings (I, II & III) and two Guigues prior to Guigues/Guigo [I]. Starting from Guigues/Guigo [I], the lineage gives the following descent:
VI.1 Guigues b. ca 950 d. 996; m. Frédéburge
----VI.2 Guigues b. ca 980 d. ca 1006; m. Gotelinde de Clérieu
--------VI.3 Guigues b. ca 995 d. aft 1060 m. Adélaïde
------------VI.4 Guigues "le Gras" b. ca 1030 d. aft 1096;
m1. Pétronille de Royans
----------------VI.5.1 Guigues m. Mahaud (Mathidle)
m2. Agnès de Barcelone
----------------VI.5.2 Guigues Raymond m. Ita Raymondis


Conclusion: Assuming that first generations in these five sources are the same person, one of the most obvious differences between the six descents, is that the Med Lands descent (#I) seems to be missing one generation which would be equivalent to I.3 = III.3 = IV.3 = V.3 = VI.3. The descent described by Hélène and Thierry (#VI) has some differences from the other lines (sometimes in the name of a spouse), but is supported by the best documentation. Based on what I have seen in these six sources, I (GAV) have settled on the following five-generation descent:
GAV.1 Guigo [I] de Vion d. 996 m. Fredeburga
----GAV.2 Guigues [II], Sire de Vion d. Bef 1009 (no known spouse)
--------GAV.3 Guigues [III] liv. 1034 m1. Gotelena de Clerieux d. Abt 1027, m2. Adelsendis
------------GAV.4 (by m1) Guigues I [IV] Vetus, Comte d'Albon d. 22 Apr 1075
m1. Adelais (de Turin)
----------------GAV.5.1 Guigues IV [V] "Pinguls" b. 1025/30 m. Petronille de Royans
m2. Inez (Agnes) of Barcelona d. Aft 1094
----------------GAV.5.2 Guiges dit Raimond d'Albon d. aft 1096 m. Ita-Raimonde de Lyon
I have, however, included much of the relevant information from all five sources on specific individuals. Hélène et Thierry have a good discussion of the history of this line, as well as an analysis of various sources and theories. Ateliers des Dauphins has a more readable series of accounts of six generations (but, unfortunately, without citing sources). GA Vaut.^{1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}
