   Note: LAMBERT [II] (-after 4 Mar 1023). King Rudolf III confirmed the donation made by “Marinus præsbiter” to Romainmôtier, by charter [20 Oct 1002/19 Oct 1003], in the presence of “...Teodoenus comes, Lanbertus, et frater eius Adalbertus...”[375]. The absence of the comital title applied to Lambert in this document suggests that he was a different person from Lambert [I] (see above). Comte [de Vaud]: “Anselmo episcopo, Lamberto comite, Willingo, Rodulfo, Bertaldo, Udolrico et Adalberto” witnessed the charter dated [20 Oct 1009/19 Oct 1010] under which Rudolf III King of Burgundy donated property to Romainmôtier[376]. [Gingins-La-Sarraz records that Lambert “dernier comte laïque du Pays-de-Vaud”, having fallen into disgrace, was deprived of his county by Rudolf III King of Burgundy who invested the bishops of Lausanne as comtes de Vaud in 1011 (no source cited)[377]. The later references to Lambert as “comes” (see below) suggests some uncertainty about the dating of this event. Another possibility is that Lambert’s supposed banishment has been confused with the banishment of Lambert’s supposed predecessor, Comte Teudoin, which, as suggested above occurred in 1009.] “Domni Umberti comes, Lambertus comes, Adalbertus…” witnessed the charter dated 1 Apr 1018 under which “Ratcherius” confirmed a donation to “Sancti Petri Romani monasterio” made by “Marinus presbiter”[378]. “Conradus” donated property to Romainmôtier, at the request of “fratris mei Amalrici”, by charter dated 4 Mar 1023, subscribed by “...Lanberti comitis, Adalberti fratris sui, Odulrici, Lanberti filii Lanberti, Rodulfi...”[379]. It is curious that Lambert was still accorded the title “comes” in these documents if he had been deprived of his county in 1011 as indicated above. Charrière suggests that Lambert was “comte d’un autre comté que celui de Vaud, du comté voisin de Warasch [Avenches or Vully, see the introduction above], par exemple”[380]. This suggestion appears supported by the 16 Apr 1028 charter, quoted below under Lambert’s possible daughter Ermenburge, which records that King Rudolf III granted property “...in comitatu Guaraschensi” to Lambert. m ---. The name of Lambert’s wife is not known. Lambert [II] & his wife had [two children]: a) [LAMBERT . “Conradus” donated property to Romainmôtier, at the request of “fratris mei Amalrici”, by charter dated 4 Mar 1023, subscribed by “...Lanberti comitis, Adalberti fratris sui, Odulrici, Lanberti filii Lanberti, Rodulfi...”[381]. It is not specified in this document that the father of the second Lambert was “Lanberti comitis”.] b) [ERMENBURGE (-26 Oct ----, after 16 Apr 1028). Rudolf III King of Burgundy confirmed the donation of “medietatem ecclesiæ S. Gorgonii in villa…Albonna in episcopate Vesontiensi, in comitatu Guaraschensi” and other property which “Lambertus pater eius” had accepted from the king, by “Hermenburgæ nobiliori schrinæ ortæ” whom “Umberto” had married, by charter dated 16 Apr 1028[382]. Ermenburge’s father has not been identified with certainty. He is not called “comes” in the 16 Apr 1028 charter, which suggests that he may have been Lambert [II] if it is correct as suggested above that he was deprived of his county. No indication has been found about how many years Humbert [II] survived after 971, but the chronology of the couple’s children suggests that he must have been young in 971. The necrology of Besançon cathedral records the death in Oct “E” of “Ermenburgis mater Hugonis Bisuntiensis Archeip.”[383]. m HUMBERT [II] Seigneur de Salins, son of HUMBERT [I] Seigneur de Salins [Mâcon] & his wife [Wandelmodis ---] (-25 Jul, after Jan 971, bur Besançon Saint-Paul).]
