Relationships

Father: Gauthier de Mayenne

Mother: Adeline

Power gives these relationships only a dotted line.

Spouse: Hugues II “Borel”, duke of Burgundy.

This relationship is given by Power. Père Anselme (1:539) and Petit (1:283) give Hugues’ wife as Mathilde, daughter of Boson I, viscount of Turenne, which used to be the accepted version. Todd Farmerie, in a post to soc.medieval.genealogy, summarizes the reasons for the change.
