  [ALIX ([1005/10]-after [1033/36]). "…Willelmi comitis Pictavensi…Eustachiæ comitissæ, Alæ comitissæ sororem Willelmi comitis" subscribed a charter dated 5 Dec [1031/33] under which "Willelmus Engelbertus et Willelmus filius Ansemi, nomine Lambertum, et sororem eius…Abba" donated property to Saint-Maixent[458].
  
  "Eusthacia comitissa per mandatum domni mei Willelmi ducis" who was "positus in captione" donated property to Saint-Maixent with the consent of "sororis eiusdem principi" by charter dated [1033/36] subscribed by "domni Willelmi comitis [despite his absence in captivity] Eustachiæ comitissæ, domni Hisemberti, Ala comitissæ…"[459].
  
  The editor of this compilation suggests that "Ala comitissa" was Agnes, daughter of Duke Guillaume V & his third wife, who later married Emperor Heinrich III[460]. This seems unlikely to be correct. None of Duke Guillaume VI's half-brothers subscribed any of his charters and it seems surprising if his half-sister Agnes would have been included.
  
  "Ala" presumably held some semi-official role at court during the absence of her brother in captivity, shown by the fact that she is recorded as having consented to the donation made under the second charter. As Agnes would have been under ten years old at the time, this provides another indication of the unlikelihood that she and “Ala” were the same person. In addition, Agnes is not recorded as having subscribed any of the charters of her own full brothers.
  
  It is more probable that Alix was a full sister of Duke Guillaume VI who is otherwise unrecorded. It is possible that she is referred to as "comitissa" as the wife of an unidentified "comes". No example has been found in this family of an unmarried daughter of the Duke of Aquitaine using the title, although it could have been used on an exceptional basis if the hypothesis concerning her function at court is correct.
  
  If Alix was married, it is probable that she was a widow at the time of the charters, to explain her presence at the court of her brother without any husband being named. She presumably died soon after these charters as no further record of her has been found. [m ---. As explained above, it is not certain that Alix was married. If she was married, there is no indication of her husband's name.]
