falsely attributed daughter or sister, and falsely attributed identification: Adelaide, m(1) Lambert Count of Chalon, m(2) Geoffroy I Grisegonelle Count of Anjou (with pointer to HenryII pages adela003 and gisel103) [Ref: HenryII adela001 4/24/2008]

Adelaide dau of Duke Giselbert appears with her husband Robert of Troyes and son Heribert in a charter of 949. There is no problem with this. The difference of opinion is whether this Adelaide is the same as the wife of Lambert who later married Geoffrey. Most historians have shied away from making this assumption, eg Maurice Chaume (who was otherwise much given to speculation) in his 'The Origins of Burgundy' 1925, Werner in an article in Die Welt als Geschicht, 1960, p107-13 (especially p111), and more recently Constance Bouchard, 'Sword and Mitre'.
To make them one person does create problems, not least with the chronology. Adelaide was old enough to have children by about 950 (for she had a grandson Fulk the Black by c.970), yet she was still young enough to have children (eg Maurice) c.980 or later. Its possible, but only just. I don't know how common it was for noblewomen to give birth after 40.
Secondly if she only married Lambert after 967, then any children from that marriage could not have been born before that. But Adalbert of Italy first husband of Gerberga had died by 975 at the latest, and Otto-William was their son. So clearly if one accepts that Adelaide was one person, one has to find different parents for Gerberga. Some have got round this by making Gerberga a daughter of Lambert by an earlier wife. As Lambert first appears in 944, and is called count in 959, this may not be impossible. [Ref: Matman SGM 5/21/1997-192712]
