  m secondly (after 1000) HILDEGARD, daughter of --- (-Jerusalem 1 Apr 1046, bur Jerusalem, Church of the Holy Sepulchre). "Fulco Andegavorum comes atque Hildegardis conjunx mea" founded the monastery of La Charité Sainte-Marie d´Anjou by undated charter signed by "…Goffridi Fulconis filii…"[156]. "Fulco Andecavorum comes et uxor mea Hildegardis filius quoque noster Goffridus" donated the bridge of Mayenne to the monastery of La Charité Sainte-Marie d´Anjou by undated charter[157]. She became a nun at the Abbey of Sainte-Marie de Ronceray which she had founded in 1028. “Fulco comes Andegavensis, Iherosolimitanum iter aggrediens cum Audeardi comitissa et filii suo Goffredo Martello” donated property “in Genio...molendinum atque furnum” by undated charter[158]. "Hildegardis comitissa" relinquished rights in favour of the oratory of Toussaint by charter dated [21 Jun 1040/1 Apr 1046][159]. "Joffredus Andecavorum comes…michi matronis domna Hildgalde comitissa genitrice mea simulque conjuge mea Agnosze" donated "curte Petre" to the monastery of La Charité Sainte-Marie d´Anjou by charter 1 Oct (no year)[160]. She died while on pilgrimage to Jerusalem[161]. An undated charter records the death of "comitissa Hildegardis quando viam Jerosolimitane peregrinationis" and her donation of serfs to the monastery of La Charité Sainte-Marie d´Anjou[162]. The necrology of Angers Cathedral records the death "Kal Apr" of "Ildegardis nobilis comitissa"[163]. The Chronicæ Sancti Albini records the death "1046 Kal Apr" of "Hildegardis comitissa"[164]. A charter dated to [1060/67] recites a prior donation to Saint-Aubin d'Angers by "Hildegardis comitissa", who retained a life interest in the property which, after the death of the donor, was sold in turn to "Agneti comitissa" (recording her divorce from "comitum Gaufridum"), "comitem Gaufridum…Gaufridi nepotem" and finally "fratre eius Fulconi" who restituted it to the abbey[165]. The necrology of Vendôme La Trinité records the death "Kal Apr" of "Hildegardis comitissa Andegavorum mater fundatoris nostri"[166]. The Chronicon Vindocinense records the death "Kal Apr" in 1046 of "Hildegardis religiosa comitissa Andegavensis"[167]. "
  
  The respected medieval genealogists Stewart Baldwin and Todd Farmerie include articles on Hildegarde's family on their Henry II website,
  
  "Hildegarde de Lorraine, d. Jerusalem, 1 April 1046 [Martyrology of the abbey of Ronceray, quoted from Marchegay & Mabille (1869), 395, n. 3; Halphen (1906), 11; Annales de Saint-Aubin, Halphen (1903), 4 (date only), among other annals]."[1]
  They state clearly that:
  
  "The cartulary of Ronceray provides the only indication of Hildegarde's origin: "... religiosa atque piisima comitissarum, domna Hildegardis, quam scilicet ut credimus et in rebus manifestum est, omnium conditor Deus a Lothariensium partibus, de regali progenie ortam, in hos occidentales terrarum fines ad restaurationem destitutarum olim ecclesiarum perduxit ..." [Halphen (1906), 11, quoting the cartulary of Ronceray]. One plausible conjecture is that she was somehow related to the counts of Nordgau, a Lotharingian family of royal descent in which the name Hildegarde is known to have occurred [see the short discussion in Settipani (1997), 253-4]."[1]
  In other words, all that can be said is that she was "Lotharingian" which is a term that covered a large part of Frankish Europe. Her parents are not known.

Information provided by Randy Winch<gumby@cafes.net>Weis'"Ancestral Roots. . ." (118:21). Bernard Bachrach, in his book *Fulk Nerra*, 1993, has on p 100: "Fulk's vigorous activities following his return from the Holy Landwere highlighted by his marriage to Hildegarde, an *illusta puella* from Lorraine who was descended from royalty." To this, he has a footnote on p 318: "*Cartul. du Ronceray*, no.173, provides the documentary evidence for Hildegarde's royal birth. The veracity of this text is unchallenged: e.g., Halphen, *Lecomte'd'Anjou*, 11, n. 1. Thus far, however, no one has been able to trace herimmediate family with any certitude. See the literature cited by Bachrach,"Origins of Countess Gerberga," 14-15, n. 11." The last part is evidently a reference to his article cited in his bibliography, "Some Observations on the Origins of Countess Gerbergaof the Angevins: An Essay in the Application of the Tellenbach-Werner Prosopographyical Method.", *Medieval Prosopography 7*, no. 2 (1986): 1-23. Bachrach says on p 100: "King Robert's diplomatic exchanges withthe Germans, of which the Meuse meeting is the best documented, are likely to have prompted his interest in Hildegarde. More to the point, Fulk needed a wife who could provide a male heir and his choice of a woman from a prominent family in Lorraine might perhaps be seen to have hada diplomatic and strategic purpose as well, which could be threatened by Fulk's in-laws if the count of Blois chose to mount military operation against the Angevin count in the west." In the previous paragraph, Bachrach seems to be assuming without question that Hildegarde is from Lorraine, although as he says in the footnote, her "immediate family" hasn't been deter mined (as of 1993,to the best of Bachrach's knowledge).
