Looking for medieval Rethel sources

Question

This is another family lineage with a lot of date errors, looking for any sources from anyone on this family.

Answer 1

Thanks Robin

There is an article about the Counts of Rethel in Medieval Lands http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/champorret.htm#_Toc494530352

I think a big part of the problem is that over quite a few years, there have been major changes to profiles (like removing or adding parents/changing dates) and probably some merges without adequate sourcing, so we have ended up with a huge mess and incorrect generations being attached.

For instance Manasses II now has both his mother (Odile) attached as one wife, and his great great (not sure how many ) grandson's wife (Matilda) attached as the other.  

The whole line probably needs to be mostly broken apart and then reassembled.

After this cleaning weekend, I think that is what I want to put together as a couple of project....just disconnect an entire line, then "reconnect" with using one source.   Then, validate the line with other sources.   Think about an approach.
