Herbert III d'Omois, Herbert the old (or Herbert III of Vermandois, 910 – 980/985) was count of Omois from 943 to his death. He was the son of Herbert II, Count of Vermandois and Adela of France, daughter of King Robert I of France.[1] In 943 after his father died, he succeeded as count of Omois[2] "and received the fortress of Château-Thierry as well as the abbey of Saint-Médard, Soissons." In 951, in his late years, he was married to Eadgifu of Wessex, daughter of Edward the Elder, King of England, and widow of Charles the Simple King of West Francia.[1] After his death, King Lothair divided his estates between his nephews, Eudes I, Count of Blois and Herbert IV, Count of Troyes and Meaux. |
