Adelaide d'Anjou BIRTH 940 France DEATH 1026 (aged 85–86) Avignon, Departement du Vaucluse, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France BURIAL Abbaye de Montmajour Arles, Departement des Bouches-du-Rhône, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France MEMORIAL ID 113422258 Adelaide called the White, was the daughter of Fulk II of Anjou and Gerberga of Maine. She was married five times to some of France's most important noblemen. Her first marriage, probably before 960, was to Stephen, Viscount of Gévaudan. Her second marriage was to Raymond III, Count of Toulouse and Prince of Gothia, in 975. In 982, she married Louis, the young son of Lothair of France. The large difference in age between the spouses was cause for a quick divorce in 984. She fled then to Arles, where she contracted, against papal advice, a marriage with William I of Provence in 984. Her final marriage was to Otto-William, Duke of Burgundy. |
