Family


woman Adelaide-Blanche d'Anjou‏‎ 1) 2)
Born ‎between 945 and 950‎ 1)
Died ‎1026‎ 1)
Buried ‎ Montmajor, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain 1)

Notes: That Adelaide-Blanche is the mother of William II is clearly demonstrated by contemporary charter evidence. While several mainstream reference works have identified Arsinde de Comminges as William II's mother, those works are incorrect.

For example, see Adelaide's charter, dated 1018 where she is identified as WIlliam's mother: http://www.cn-telma.fr/originaux/charte3995/. There are at least 4 other independent charters verifying this claim.

Adelaide alias Blanche married at least four times.

Notes: Raymond's ancestry is too uncertain to be included here. The Henry Project summarises as follows: "...the exact identity and ancestry of this Raymond is enmeshed in the confusion of various Raymonds of Toulouse in the tenth century [see, e.g., Framond (1993) and Settipani (2004) for two different reconstructions of the genealogy of the tenth century counts of Toulouse]."
