Research Notes:
Viscountess of Chateaudun [Ref: HenryII hilde002 1/24/2011]

known to be sister of Gerberga [Ref: Settipani Chateaudun p256]

980: witnessed a doation to Saint-Florent de Saumur by her sister Gerberge, wife of Gelduin de Saumur [Ref: HenryII hilde002 1/24/2011]

between 1005 and 1023, viscountess Hildegarde mentions her son archbishop Hugues, with witnesses including Feoffroy, nepos of archbishop Hugues, and Helgaud, son of the archbishop [Ref: HenryII hilde002 1/24/2011]

No early source gives the parentage of Hildegard. However, a number of conjectures have appeared regarding her origin [Ref: HenryII hilde002 1/24/2011]

The husband of Hildegard is not identified in the early sources. Since she is explicitly called viscountess of Chateaudun in the 1005x23 charter in which she mentions her son archbishop Hugues, she was married to a viscount of Chateaudun, but which one? Most early modern sources identify her as the wife of a viscount Hugues:
Supposed husband: Hugues (I), viscount of Chateaudun. (existence as a person distinct from archbishop Hugues of Tours is improbable) Doyen and Bordas make viscount Hugues I the the second husband of Hildegarde and the stepfather of archbishop Hugues [Doyen (1786), 1: 239; Bordas (1850), 107-8]. Romanet, Cuissard, and Saint-Phalle have viscount Hugues I up to in or before 989, and then viscount Hugues II, later archbishop [Romanet (1890-1902), 30 (table), 37-9, 44-5 (table); Cuissard (1894-6), 33, 120 (table); Saint-Phalle (2000), 245 (table 6)].
This interpretation of the sources is understandable. The short chronicle of Bonneval mentions viscount Geoffroy and his wife Ermengarde and his/their son Hugues ["Deinde extitit quidam vicecomes Castrodunensis, Gaufridus nomine, qui, pro redemptione anime sue et uxoris, Hermengardis nomine, ... Similiter filius suus, nomine Hugo, ..." Petite Chron. Bonneval, 33]. Here, the ambiguity of suus allows the natural interpretation that Hugues was a son of both Geoffroy and Ermengarde, which in turn would seem to imply that there was a viscount of Chateaudun named Hugues in the last half of the tenth century who was distinct from archbishop Hugues, making this supposed viscount Hugues an obvious candidate as the husband of Hildegarde.
On the other hand, even though we do not have direct proof that the records of a viscount Hugues between 989 and 1003 all refer to the same man, we also have no good reason to believe that they refer to more than one person. Indeed, there is good reason for identifying this viscount Hugues of Chateaudun with archbishop Hugues of Tours. The viscount Hugues of Chateaudun who appears between 996 and 1001 was also dean of Saint-Maurice de Tours ["... ego Hugo, Sancti Mauricii decanus, favente Dei gratia, et vicecomes Castridunensis, ..." Lex (1892), 132-3 (Pieces justificatives #7)], clearly suggesting that he was the same man as the later archbishop. Also, the fact that the archbishop had a son [see, e.g., Hildegard's charter above] indicates that he may have had a secular career before joining the church. Furthermore, we know that the Hugues who was viscount about the year 1000 was the son of a viscount Geoffroy ["Hugonis vicecomitis qui in honorem patri sui Gausfredi scilicet vicecomitis" Settipani (1997), 260 & n. 239, citing Coll. Tour.-Anj., #308 (not seen by me)].
In addition, the probable appearance of Hildegard as viscountess in 980 (assuming that this was the same person) would argue strongly against Hildegard's husband being a viscount Hugues, for we find viscount Geoffroy witnessing charters both before and after that date, suggesting that he was her husband. She would be unlikely to use the title of viscountess until after her husband had acquired that title, and in 980, the succession of a viscount Hugues to the title was apparently several years in the future.
Thus, the sources other than the short chronicle of Bonneval would appear to give a consistent picture of a viscount Geoffroy (bef. 967 - aft. 985), his wife Hildegarde, and their son the viscount and archbishop Hugues. Against this, we have the account of that chronicle with viscount Geoffroy and his wife Ermengarde and son Hugues. Murs states that Hildegarde may have been the same as Ermengarde [Murs (1856), 120], and the same suggestion is made by Settipani [Settipani (1997), 261 & n. 252]. In fact, the most likely explanation of the entry in the short chronicle of Bonneval (a late text with many faults) is that Hildegarde's name was accidently mistranscribed as Hermengardis at some point in the transmission. Other possible, but much less likely, explanations would be that Ermengarde was an earlier wife of Geoffroy or that there was more than one Geoffroy involved. [Ref: HenryII hilde002 1/24/2011]


Supposed earlier husband (uncertain): Arnaud de la Ferte. According to a number of sources, Hildegard was married first to a certain Arnaud de la Ferte, and then to viscount Hugues of Chateaudun [Doyen (1786), 1: 239; Bordas (1850), 107-8; Romanet (1890-1902), 38 n. 6, 44-5 (table); Cuissard (1894-6), 34, 120 (table)]. According to some of these sources, it was by this alleged first marriage that Hildegarde had Hugues, archbishop of Tours [Doyen (1786), 1: 239; Bordas (1850), 107-8]. Cuissard makes Arnaud the father of Alo and the wife of Albert, abbot of Micy [Cuissard (1894-6), 120 (table)]. Without knowing the evidence on which this is based, it is hard to judge the likelihood of this supposed earlier marriage, but in the absence of confirming evidence, it seems best to doubt it. [Ref: HenryII hilde002 1/24/2011]

In addition to archbishop Hugues, Alo de Chinon, and the wife of abbot Albert, Hildegarde appears to have had another child, gender uncertain, a parent of Geoffroy (II), viscount of Chateaudun, who was assassinated in about 1038 or 1039, ancestor of the counts of Perche. Unfortunately, the uncertain and indirect nature of the evidence leaves plenty of opportunities for the scholar to stumble. As shown by the 1005x23 charter of Hildegarde, her son, archbishop Hugues of Tours, had a nepos, Geoffroy, who appears to have been the same person as Geoffroy (II), viscount of Chateaudun (d. 1038x9). The most obvious interpretation of the word nepos (usually "nephew") would then make Hildegarde a grandmother of Geoffroy, and the natural question is then to determine the identity of the intervening generation.
Geoffroy's mother was named Melisende, but there have been different theories about the identity of his father. Some have supposed that Geoffroy was the son of another viscount Geoffroy who was a son of Hildegarde. However, the most likely possibility is that the father of Geoffroy was the count Fulcois who is called the avus ("grandfather") of Geoffroy's son Rotrou in one document. Even if this is accepted, it is not clear whether it was Fulcois or Melisende who was a child of Hildegarde. Thus, we have the three candidates listed below for the intervening generation. Obviously, at most one of the following three options could be true.
Possible daughter: Melisende, living 1031x2; prob. m. Fulcois, count [of Mortagne?].
Possible son: Fulcois, count [of Mortagne?]; prob. m. Melisende, living 1031x2.
Supposed son (existence as a person distinct from Geoffroy son of Melisende is questionable): Geoffroy, viscount of Chateaudun; said to have m. Melisende, living 1031x2.
The viscount of Chateaudun was named Geoffroy between 1003x4 and ca. 1038x9. In the unlikely event that there were two viscounts of that name during this period, the elder of them would have presumably been Melisende's husband, in which case Fulcois would fit into the family in some other way.
