Biography

Ermengarde married Eudes Comte de Blois. [1]

In 1005, a major restoration was carried out by Odo and his wife Ermengard. [2]

Research Notes

In his article "The Family of Countess Ermengarde of Auvergne"[3], Baldwin agreed with the theory of Thierry Stasser. This was based on the 1115 letter of Yves de Chartres[4], which gave the lineage of Havoise from Blanche and stating that countess Ermengarde was the daughter of Ermengarde of Auvergne.

Bonjour. Ermengarde (Auvergne) de Blois ( wiki/Auvergne-52 ) est en même temps la mère de Guillaume Auvergne ( wiki/Auvergne-70 ) et l'épouse du frère de Guillaume, soit Eudes (Blois) de Blois ( wiki/Blois-42 ). Il y a quelque-chose qui ne fonctionne pas.

Merci et bonne soirée

Auvergne-68 and Auvergne-52 appear to represent the same person because: Auvergne-52 previously had a birth year of 994 (see change history). This birth year removed due to error generated when she was wrongly attached to Gilbert Venables-25. In reality she should have been detached to correct the error, as Gilbert's wife is unknown. These two profiles are clearly intended to represent the same person. Please merge.

Cawley has Ermengarde (Auvergne-68) as the daughter of GUILLAUME [IV] (-[1016]) and sister of the Robert who is currently linked as her father.

This person does not exist or is being confused with Auvergne-68. Several published sources like The History of the County Palatine of Chester refer to Venables-25 (Gilbert) as a younger brother of Stephen or Thibault de Blois whose mother was Auvergne-68. (Ermengarde). However, not all scholars agree on Venables-25's parents.

Ermengarde is the daughter of Guillaume d'Auvergne Comte d'Auvergne and Humberge.

Her death year 1040 is the approximate year of her husband’s birth. Is it possible E Venables is mother of Gilbert born about 1040?

This woman was born 994 how could she possibly give birth to a son, Gilbert, B. 1090 ?

Her birthdate has not been established.

Anvergne-1 and Auvergne-68 appear to represent the same person because: Slight difference in birth and death dates, but relationships means this is intended to be the same person. She comes from the Auvergne family and Auvergne-68 is the correct LNAB, Anvergne must be a mistake.

Auvergne-68 and Anjou-307 appear to represent the same person because: Same person, please merge. Father appears to be Robert de Auvergne, d 1032. So Auvergne-68 should be final.

On the French page of Wikipedia, she is mentioned as being the daughter of Guillaume IV d'Auvergne (cf. http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eudes_II_de_Blois).
