Godehilde's parents are unknown; Baldwin does not even cite Hilduin among the conjectured fathers. Many people have her as the daughter of Hilduin de Ponthieu & Hersende, but according to the dates that I have for the people involved, her parents are more likely: Father: Guillaume I Comte de Ponthieu Mother: Maude de St. Pol sur Mer de Therouanne
Another possibility from a relatively respected secondary source: Moriarty, p. 12 states she was the sister of Seinfray Bishop of La Mans. If you go to google & use keywords: "francebalade creil" a website that uses French sources indicates she was "Godehilde, la soeur de l'Eveque du Mans Sigefroi" = Godehilde, the sister of Sigefroi, Bishop du Mans. Near the bottom of the webpage, it indicates: "Sigefroi Il est sans doute le neveu par sa mère de Mainard Eveque du Mans et de Raoul I Vicomte du Mans. C'est aussi le beau-frère de Yves de Belleme." = He was undoubtedly the nephew on his mother’s side of Mainard Bishop du Mans and Raoul I Vicomte du Mans. He was also the brother-in-law of Yves de Belleme.
She has been detached from Hildouin III Ponthieu as her father due to lack of evidence.
Buried at Notre Dame de Belleme.
This is apparently Godehilde, wife of Yves de Bellême see: Godehilde, Stephen Baldwin, the Henry Project. Godehilde was the mother of Hildeburge.
