Name

• Adelais "Judith" ^[2]

Disambiguation: Judith

Judith -- "Iudid comitisse" is assumed in traditional genealogies to have been the same person as Adelais. ^[2] Judith appears in some genealogies, without further citation, as born in Normandy April 22, 1003.

Cawley suggests that Judith, rather than being an alternate named for Adelaide, may be the name of a later wife of Comte Renaud.^[2]

"Raginaldus comes comitis Guillelmi filius" donated property to the abbey of Flavigny by charter dated 18 May 1037 subscribed by "Iudid comitisse uxoris eius, Guillelmi filii eius, Hugonis filii eius…" ^[2]

1000 Birth

Guillaume of Jumièges names “Adeliz” as the first daughter of “dux Richardus” and his wife. ^[2]

Estimates of her birth year differ. Cawley estimates her birth about 1000, placing Adelaide as the first child; ^[2]

Other sources suggest a birth year of 1002. ^[3]

She was the daughter of Richard II, Duke of Normandy (972–1026) and Judith of Brittany. ^[3]

Adélaide married Renaud I ^[4] or Reginald I, Count of Burgundy ^[5]
