Research Notes

From Self-published tree by James Fred Patin, Jr:

• Odo I, count of Blois, born 950 at Marmoutier, Alsace, France, died March 12, 996 at Marmoutier, Alsace, France;
• Son of Theobald I the Trickster, count of Blois and Luitgarde of Vermandois;
• Brother of Hildegarde de Blois; Duke Bathel de Normandie; Thibaut III, comte de Blois; Hugo de Blois, Archbishop of Bourges and Emma of Blois;
• Husband of Berthe de Bourgogne, Reine consort de France
• Father of Gilbert de Venables; Robert de Caineis; Thibaut de Blois; Eudes/Odo II, Count of Blois, Champagne and Chartres; Grimolt( Grimould) de Plessis and 2 others;

Patin cites Charles Cawley, Medlands, Darryl Lundy, The Peerage: A genealogical survey of the peerage of Britain as well as the royal families of Europe and Wikipedia: Odo I, Count of Blois, none of which say Eudes aka Odo had a son named Gilbert.

Gilbert de Venables alias Venator, living in 1086, was "supposed to be" of Venables in Normandy and younger brother of Stephen earl of Blois, son of Eudo earl of Blois (according to a pedigree roll of Legh of Adlington).^[4] Eudes I Comte de Blois died in 995, so it's very unlikely that he had a son surviving in 1086, also he does not appear to have had a son named Stephen to be the older brother of Gilbert.^[2]

Eudes II Comte de Blois, died in 1037, married as his second wife, Ermengarde d'Auvergne in 1005, and they had a son Etienne [Stephen in English] de Blois, who died circa 1048, but he was comte de Troyes while his older brother Thibaut was comte de Blois.^[5] There is no record of Eudes II having a son named Gilbert.

Etienne or Henri de Blois, the first comte de Blois named Etienne, was the son of Thibaut III Comte de Blois. Etienne was murdered in Ramla on 19 May 1102.^[6] He was not the son of Eudes and did not have a younger brother Gilbert.
