Research Notes:
(if father was Hugh I Count of Chateaudun) Viscountess of Chateaudun [Ref: Watney WALLOP #5]

heiress of Nogent [Ref: Settipani Chateaudun p252]

in the foundation charter of Saint-Denis de Nogent, in the first year of king Henri I of France (20 Jul 1031-10 Jul 1032), Viscount Geoffroy (II) of Chateaudun gives the church of Champrond in the lordship of Nogent to Saint-Denis, after the death of his mother Melisende. No other early record is known to mention Melisende [Ref: HenryII melis000 1/27/2011]

but... several different husbands have been conjectured for her by various scholars trying to deduce the parentage of Geoffroy [Ref: HenryII melis000 1/27/2011]

her son Geoffroy became viscount of Chateaudun, so it is natural to investigate how he came to hold that title. Archbishop Hughes of Tours, earlier viscount of Chateaudun, was succeeded as viscount in 1003x4 by Geoffroy, probably the same as Melisende's son. On two occasions, a nepos of archbishop Hughes named Geoffroy is mentioned. It is probable that Geoffroy, nepos (probably to be interpreted as "nephew") of Hughes, was the same person as the latter successor as viscount. There is still the problem of whether this relationship would be on the side of Geoffroy's father or his mother. This in turn could depend heavily on the identiy of Melisende's husband (and there are lots and lots of proposed husbands). If Melisende's husband was an earlier viscount Goeffroy, then he would probably be the brother of arcbbishop Hughes. If Melisende's husband were Rotrou de Nogent, then it would be Melisende who was probably a sister of Hugues. However, the most likely possibility is that Melisende's husband was count Fulcois, but in that case it is hard to determine which parent of Geoffroy was the sibling of archbishop Hugues, because we have no indication of the ancestry of Fulcois, and no early source mentioning Melisende's parentage. Most of those who accept Fulcois as the husband of Melisende have placed her as a sister of archbishop Hughes (Cuissard (1894-6), Estournet (1928), Saint-Phalle (2000)). The case in which Fulcois is placed as a brother of Hugues was put forward by Christian Settipani (2000). As Settipani points out, there is the question of whether a maternal nephew would succeed sa viscount when Hugues had a son Helgaud and a brother Alo de Chinon still living. Helgaud may have been illegitimate. Alo may have been a maternal half-brother (but there is no evidence of an earlier marriage of Hildegarde (mother of Hugues)). [Ref: HenryII melis000 1/27/2011]
