Another chart in [Moriarty Plantagenet p38] shows Gerberga dau of Lambert Count of Chalons, but has crossed out marriage to Adelbert, leaving only the second marriage to Henry Duke of Burgundy.

Research Notes:
Countess of Nevers [Ref: Watney WALLOP #182]

falsely attributed father: Lietaud, count of Macon [Ref: HenryII gerbe002 9/20/2008]

for chronological reasons it is unlikely that Gerberge was a daughter of Lambert's known wife Adelaide [Ref: HenryII gerbe002 9/20/2008]

Apr 986: appears in a charter with her husband [Ref: HenryII gerbe002 9/20/2008]

by 11 May 993: her husband Eudes-Henri had remarried to his second wife [Ref: HenryII gerbe002 9/20/2008]

No known primary source offers any direct information about Gerberge's parentage. However, there are two pieces of evidence which have been interpreted as bearing on her parentage, each leading in a different direction, and this has led to controversy among scholars regarding her origin. One source leads to the conclusion that Gerberge was a daughter of Lambert, count of Chalon, and the other leads to the conclusion that she was either a daughter or granddaughter of Lietaud, count of Macon. For convenience, we shall refer to these two alternatives as the Lambert Hypothesis and the Lietaud Hypothesis respectively. The problem goes further than just the existence of these two alternatives, for there are a number of other questions discussed below (listed as Questions 1 through 7 for convenient reference), some of which seem unrelated at first glance, which are intertwined to various degrees with the question of Gerberge's parentage. Some of these questions are discussed in more detail on other linked pages of the Henry Project to which they are more relevant.
This controversy has had a long history. Scholars favoring the Lambert Hypothesis have included Sackur (1892-4), Poupardin (1907), Werner (1967), Bouchard (1987), and Settipani (1994), while the Lietaud Hypothesis has been favored by Hirsch (1862-75), Pfister (1885), Rameau (1901), and Vajay (1962), among others [see also Poupardin (1907), 414; Vajay (1962), 156, n. 2, for longer lists of those who have supported the various sides of the argument]. However, scholars on the same side of the Lambert/Lietaud question have sometimes differed on one or more of the related questions below. At the present time, the Lambert Hypothesis seems to be the current consensus, and that will also be the conclusion reached here, but with a degree of confidence which is less than what would be desired. We start with an outline of the main evidence for each of the two hypotheses, and a discussion of some of the main arguments which have been given in each direction.
