Ermentrude of Roucy
Noble lady and countess
Ermentrude de Roucy (c. 951 – 5 May 1005) (Irmtrude) was a Countess and Duchess of Burgundy.[1]
She was a daughter of Renaud of Roucy and his wife, Alberade of Lorraine, daughter of Gilbert, Duke of Lorraine.[2]
By 971, Ermentrude married Aubry II of Mâcon and thus became a countess of Mâcon.[3] They were the parents of:
- Létaud, archbishop of Besançon;
- Aubry, abbot of Saint-Paul de Besançon;
- Béatrice de Mâcon (d.1030), who was married in 975 to Count Geoffrey I of Gâtinais, and afterwards to the Count Hugues du Perche;
- Perhaps a daughter, N de Mâcon, the putative spouse of Eble de Poitiers, son of William IV of Aquitaine and Emma of Blois; they were possibly the parents of Ebles I of Roucy and all of his siblings, including Yvette de Roucy, the wife of either Manasses II or Manasses III of Rethel.[4]
She also married Otto-William, Count of Burgundy.[5] They had children:
- Guy I of Mâcon;[6]
- Matilda, married Landri of Nevers;
- Gerberga, married William II of Provence;[7]
- Reginald I, Count of Burgundy;
- Agnes of Burgundy, Duchess of Aquitaine.
