Titles

Comte de Vermandois ^[3]

Parents

Adalbert was the son of Heribert II of Vermandois.

Birth

His birth place and year is unknown, estimate 924 based on brother Hugh's birth 920. Other sources estimate his birth year as early as 915. ^[4] Another source indicates he is the son of Heribert II comte de Vermandois and Adela, possible half-sister of Hugues Capet. ^[3]

Adalbert I married Gerberge of Lorraine ^[4] (Gerberga of Lotharingia). ^[3]

She was born about 935, the daughter of Giselbert, duke of Lorriane ^[1] or Lotharingia. ^[3]

She died after 07 Sep 978. ^[3]

Death

Adalbert de Vermandois died 8 SEP 987. ^[3] or after.^[1]

Children

Adalbert and Gerberge had these children. Heribert was presumably the eldest son. Not much is known about any other offspring. Bishop Liudolf seems to be accepted, on little evidence. . Gisele is presumably spurious, like her aunts.

Guy de Soissons is provisionally placed by MedLands in the previous generation, as Adalbert's brother, citing several explicit records, but there seem to be possible difficulties with dates. French Wikipedia shows neither placing.

1. Heribert IV (954 - 29 Aug 993) ^[3]
2. Otto (950/5 - after 02 Nov 958/9). ^[3] He was thought to be Comte de Chiny (unproven).
