    Note: [ROTHILDE . According to Le Laboureur, Rothilde was the daughter of a vicomte de Brosse (unnamed), although Settipani has pointed out that no primary source reference is quoted in his work to support this statement and suggests that it may be based on an unsound conclusion drawn because the castle of Brosse was held by Rothilde’s descendants and is later recorded as a vicomté[7]. "Hildegarius Lemovicensium pontifex" granted privileges to Uzerche, naming "genitore meo…domno Geraldo vicecomite necnon et genetrice mea Rotilde…" by charter dated to [970/86][8]. "Rotildis vicecomitissa" donated "mansum…a Monsor…in vicaria Usercensi" to Uzerche, for the souls of "Archambaldi senioris mariti mei" who had given this property to her and "Geraldi vicecomitis senioris mei", by charter dated to [Jul 987/988], witnessed by "filii eiusdem Rothildis, Aldegarius episcopus, Guido, Geraldus, Alduinus abbas et cæteri filii…"[9]. Possible family connections of Rothilde’s first husband are suggested by the charter dated to [1003/36] under which "Rotbertus de Chatmart et Gaufredus frater eius…Ermesindis et Belieldis uxores eorum, Ebolus et Guido et Geraldus filii Gaufredi, Arcambaldus et Geraldus filii Rotberti" donated property in "manso de Monsor" to Uzerche[10], the connection being "Monsor" [Moussours near Uzerche]. m firstly ARCHAMBAUD, son of ---. m secondly GERAUD Vicomte de Limoges, son of HILDEGAIRE Vicomte de Limoges & his wife Thiberge --- ([905/10]-988).]

    Note: GERAUD, son of HILDEGAIRE Vicomte de Limoges & his wife Thiberge --- (-988)...m (after Mar 957) as her second husband, ROTHILDE, widow of ARCHAMBAUD Vicomte ---, daughter of ---. “Archambaldus vicecomes et uxor sua Rotildis” sold property “in pago Lemovico in...villa...Ille Cacœria...” to “Droctrico” by charter dated 5 Mar 957[626]. "Hildegarius Lemovicensium pontifex" granted privileges to Uzerche, naming "genitore meo…domno Geraldo vicecomite necnon et genetrice mea Rotilde…" by charter dated to [970/86][627]. "Rotildis vicecomitissa" donated "mansum…a Monsor…in vicaria Usercensi" to Uzerche, for the souls of "Archambaldi senioris mariti mei" who had given this property to her and "Geraldi vicecomitis senioris mei", by charter dated to [Jul 987/988], witnessed by "filii eiusdem Rothildis, Aldegarius episcopus, Guido, Geraldus, Alduinus abbas et cæteri filii…"[628]. Le Laboureur suggests that Rothilde was “fille et héritière du Vicomte de Brosse et d’une dame nommée Tatberga, qualifiée ayeule du Vicomte Guy dans un titre de l’abbaye d’Userche”[629]. The point relating to “Tatberga” presumably refers to the charter dated Aug 1019 under which "Guido et uxor mea Emma…et filii nostri Geraldus, Ademarus, Petrus" donated "ecclesiam…Sancti Bibiano…a Nioli" to Uzerche, for the souls of "…aviæ meæ Tetiscræ et…patris mei Geraldi et…Rotildis matris meæ"[630]. “Tetiscræ” in this last document is likely to be a mistranscription. If the name was “Tatbergæ”, this probably refers to the paternal grandmother of Vicomte Guy not the mother of Rothilde. Concerning the fundamental point made by Le Laboureur, Settipani has pointed out that no primary source reference is quoted by Le Laboureur to support the statement and suggests that it may be based on an unsound conclusion drawn because the castle of Brosse was held by Rothilde’s descendants and is later recorded as a vicomté[631]. Vicomte Géraud & his wife had [eleven] children: 1. GUY [I] de Limoges (-Limoges 27 Oct 1025, bur Limoges Saint-Martial). 2. HILDEGAIRE de Limoges (-11 Jun 990, bur Saint-Denis). 3. AIMERY "Ostofrancus" de Limoges (-[Mar/Aug] 1019). 4. GERAUD de Limoges . 5. HILDUIN de Limoges (-23 Jun 1014, bur Limoges Saint-Martin). 6. GEOFFROY de Limoges (-11 Oct 998). 7.
