Adelaide of Normandy (orAdeliza) (c. 1030 – bef. 1090) was the ruling Countess ofAumale in her own right in 1069–1087. She was the sister ofWilliam the Conqueror.

Life

[edit]

Bornc. 1030,[1] Adelaide was anillegitimate daughter of theNorman dukeRobert the Magnificent.[2] Adelaide's brother or half-brother, Robert's son and successorWilliam the Conqueror, was likewise illegitimate.[a]

Adelaide's first marriage toEnguerrand II, Count of Ponthieu potentially gave William a powerful ally in upper Normandy.[3] But at theCouncil of Reims in 1049, when the marriage of William withMatilda of Flanders was prohibited based onconsanguinity, so were those ofEustace II, Count of Boulogne and Enguerrand of Ponthieu, who was already married to Adelaide.[4] Adelaide's marriage was apparentlyannulled c. 1049/50 and another marriage was arranged for her, this time toLambert II, Count of Lens, younger son ofEustace I, Count of Boulogne forming a new marital alliance between Normandy and Boulogne.[5] Lambert was killed in 1054 atLille, aidingBaldwin V, Count of Flanders against EmperorHenry III.[6]

Now widowed, Adelaide resided atAumale, probably part of herdower from her first husband, Enguerrand, or part of a settlement after the capture ofGuy of Ponthieu, her brother-in-law.[b][5] As adowager Adelaide began a semi-religious retirement and became involved with theAbbey of Saint-Martin d'Auchy [fr], presenting them with a number of gifts.[5] In 1060 she was called upon again to form another marital alliance, this time to a younger man,Odo, Count of Champagne.[7] Odo seems to have been something of a disappointment as he appears on only one of the Conqueror's charters and received no land in England; his wife being atenant-in-chief in her own right.[7]

In 1082, William and his wife, Matilda, gave to the abbey of the Holy Trinity inCaen the town of Le Homme in theCotentin with a provision to theCountess of Albamarla (Aumale), his sister, for a life tenancy.[8] In 1086, asComitissa de Albatnarla,[8] as she was listed in theDomesday Book, was shown as having numerous holdings in both Suffolk and Essex,[9] one of the very few Norman noblewomen to have held lands in England at Domesday as a tenant-in-chief.[10] She was also given the lordship ofHolderness which was held after her death by her third husband, Odo, the by then disinherited count of Champagne; the lordship then passed to their son, Stephen.[8] Adelaide died before 1090.[11]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^The question of who her mother was remains unsettled.Elisabeth van Houts ['Les femmes dans l'histoire du duché de Normandie',Tabularia « Études », n° 2, 2002, (10 July 2002), p. 23, n. 22] makes the argument thatRobert of Torigny in theGND II, p. 272 (one of three mentions in this volume of her being William's sister) calls her in this instance William's 'uterine' sister' (soror uterina) and is of the opinion this is a mistake similar to one he made regardingRichard II, Duke of Normandy and his paternal half-brotherWilliam, Count of Eu (calling them 'uterine' brothers). Based on this she concludes Adelaide was a daughter of Duke Robert by a different concubine. Kathleen Thompson ["Being the Ducal Sister: The Role of Adelaide of Aumale",Normandy and Its Neighbors, Brepols, (2011) p. 63] cites the same passage inGND as did Elisabeth Van Houts, specificallyGND II, 270-2, but gives a different opinion. She noted that Robert de Torigni stated here she was the uterine sister of Duke William "so we might perhaps conclude that she shared both mother and father with the Conqueror." But as Torigni wrote a century after Adelaide's birthand in that same sentence in the GND made a genealogical error, she concludes that the identity of Adelaide's mother remains an open question.
  2. ^Prior to it becoming a small county, Aumale was a town on theBresle river in north-eastern Normandy. It came into the family by way of Enguerrand's mother, the heiress of Aumale. It was settled on Adelaide of Normandy as a countship by her brother William the Conqueror, but at what exact time is not known. Adelaide was the first countess followed by her sonStephen of Aumale as the second holder but first count. See Cokayne,The Complete Peerage, Vol. I, p. 350.
