Everything about Adelaide Of Anjou totally explained
Adelaide (c.
947–
1026), called
the White, was the daughter of
Fulk II of Anjou and
Gerberga of Maine. She was therefore the sister of
Geoffrey Greymantle. She was married five times to some of
France's most important noblemen.
Her first marriage, probably before 960, was to
Stephen, Viscount of Gévaudan. Her second marriage was to
Raymond III,
Count of Toulouse and
Prince of Gothia, in 975. He died in 978.
In 982, she married
Louis, the young son of
Lothair of France, and the two were jointly crowned
Monarchs of Aquitaine on the same day at
Brioude. The large difference in age between the spouses was cause for a quick divorce in 984.
She fled then to
Arles, where she contracted, against papal advice, a marriage with
William I of Provence in 984. She gave him a daughter,
Constance of Arles, who later married
Robert II of France.
Her final marriage was to
Otto-William, Duke of Burgundy.
