ERMENGARDE d'Auvergne (-11 or 12 Mar after 1042). The Flandria Generosa names "altera Ermengardis comitissa" as daughter of "Ermengardis comitissa Arvenensis", and mother of "Berta comitissa [=de Blois]", when outlining the basis for the consanguinity between Baudouin VII Count of Flanders and [Hawise] de Bretagne, which provided the grounds for the couple's separation[144]. As discussed above under her assumed mother Humberge, less chronological difficulties result if Ermengarde was in fact the daughter of Guillaume [IV] Comte d'Auvergne. The date of her marriage is fixed by the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines which names "comitissam Turonensem Ermengardem" as wife of "Odonem Campaniensem comitem" when recording in 1005 their joint restoration of "Turonis maioris monasterii"[145].

According to the Genealogiae comes Flandriae she was the daughter of the Count of Auvergne, William IV and his wife Humberge (or Ermengarda) [1], daughter of Etienne de Brioude, Count of Gévaudan and Forez, in eastern Aquitaine [2] and his second. wife (the marriage, which took place before 960 is confirmed by the Cartulaire de l'abbaye de Saint-Chaffre du Monastier et Chronique de Saint-Pierre du Puy '[3]), Adelaide d'Anjou (ca 942 - 1026), daughter of Count of Anjou and then Count of Nantes and Duke of Brittany, Folco II and Gerberga (that his mother's name was Gerberga is confirmed by the document is No. II of the Cartulaire de l'abbaye de Saint-Aubin d'Angers , Volume I, where his brother, Goffredo Grisegonelle declares to be the son of Folco and Gerberga (patris mei Fulconis, matris quoque meæ Gerbergæ) [4]) whose ascendants are not known with certainty.
Guglielmo IV d'Alvernia, secondo il documento n ° 363 del Cartulaire de Sauxillanges ed il documento n ° 1525 del Recueil des chartes de l'abbaye de Cluny, tomé 2, era il figlio quartogenito del visconte d'Alvernia, Roberto II e di Engelberga [5] [6], whose ascendants are unknown [7].
Biography Edit
Around 1005, Ermengarda was given in marriage to the Count of Blois, Chartres, Châteaudun, Tours, Provins, Reims, Meaux and Troyes, Oddone II, according to the Chronicle Albrici Monachi Trium Fontium [8]. Oddone II of Blois, according to document No. III of the Cartulaire de Marmoutier pour le Dunois, was the son of the Count of Blois, Tours, Chartres, Châteaudun, Tours, Provins and Reims, Oddone I of Blois and of Berta of Burgundy [9], who according to the Hugonis Floriacensis, Liber qui Modernorum Regum Francorum continet Actus 9 was the daughter of the king of Arles or the two Burgundies, Corrado III the Pacific [10] and his second wife (as confirmed by the Chronicle Albrici Monachi Trium Fontium [11]), Matilde of France (943-980).
The marriage is also confirmed by the Capitolum V of the Cartoulaire de l'abbaye de Saint-Père de Chartres, volume I, concerning a donation, a few years later, made by Oddone II and Ermengarda to St. Peter's Abbey, [12] .
Ermengarda was widowed on November 15, 1037, when her husband Oddone II, who was invading Lorraine, according to the Annales Sangallensis Maiores, was defeated and his troops defeated by the Duke of Lorraine, Gozelo or Gozzilone were killed. The death of Oddone II is also narrated by the Cluniac monk and chronicler, Rudolf the Glabro, who specifies that the corpse, after the battle, was found gutted and was returned to the widow, Ermengarda, by the bishop of Chalon.
Ermengarda had her husband buried in Tours, in the monastery of St. Martin, next to his father, Oddone I. [14]
According to the Obituaires de Sens Tome II, Ermengardis (Ermengardis comitissa) died after 1042 and was between 11 [15] and 12 March [16].
Children Edit
Ermengarda gave Oddone II three children [17]:
Tebaldo [18] (1012-1089), count of Blois and then count of Champagne
Stephen [18] (? -1048), Count of Champagne and Count of Brie
Berta [19] (? -1085), who married Count Alan III of Brittany (? -1040) and then, in 1046, Count Hugh IV of Maine (? -1051).
