Ermengarde d'Auvergne = (died March 1042)

probable daughter of Guillaume IV d'Auvergne and Humberge

Children:

• Stephen II de CHAMPAGNE Count of Blois
• Berthe de CHARTRES
• Thibaut III of BLOIS Count of Blois

NOTE: The Foundation for Medieval Genealogy posits Ermengarde as the daughter of Guillaume and Humberge and as a *sister* of Robert d'Auvergne rather than his daughter, as many trees (and WIkipedia) position her.

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]. The necrology of Saint-Père-en-Vallée records the death "IV Id Mar" of "Ermengardis comitissa"[146]. The necrology of Pontlevoy records the death "V Id Mar" of "Ermengardis comitissa"[147].

m (1005) as his second wife, EUDES II Comte de Blois, son of EUDES I Comte de Blois & his wife Berthe de Bourgogne [Welf] ([982/83]-killed in battle Commercy 15 Nov 1037).

Theobald III, who inherited the county of Blois and most of his other possessions

Stephen II, who inherited the counties of Meaux and Troyes in Champagne

Bertha, who married Alan III.

Almodis, who married Geoffrey II of Preuilly
