Research Notes:
Wife of four husbands, and the ancestress of important comital families
through three of her marriages, Adelaide, alias Blanche, was also briefly
queen of France, and the mother of another French queen. Yet, in the early
nineteenth century, scholars were still confused about her identity. Her story
has to be pieced together from various records which, for example, mention
an Alaiz, mother of count Pons de Gevaudan, or a Blanca, wife of Louis V, king
of France, or an Adelaidis, cui prenomen erat Candida, mother of queen
Constance, and only in hindsight is it clear that these records refer to the
same woman. The discovery of the work of the historian Richer in the 1830's
added a key piece to the puzzle by mentioning three of Adelaide's marriages,
but historians were slow to take advantage of the new information.
Nevertheless, by the late nineteeth century, historians had accepted that
Adelaide, alias Blanche, daughter of Foulques II of Anjou, had been
successively married to Etienne de Brioude (at the time often incorrectly
called count of Gevaudan), king Louis V of France, and Guillaume I (or II) of
Provence, and that she was the mother by the last of queen Constance, wife of
king Robert II of France, although the marriage to Raymond of "Gothia" was
still widely doubted [Pfister (1885), 61-3; Lot (1891), 366-9]. More recently,
in the face of clear proof that Adelaide was the mother of Guillaume
"Taillefer", count of Toulouse, it has been recognized that her marriage to
the obscure Raymond was genuine [Poly (1976), 73, 97 n. 138, 319 n. 13;
Framond (1993), 472-4; see also works cited in Stasser (1997), 9 n. 3]. [Ref:
