Relationships

(possible) Father: Gui.

This relationship is given by Bouchard (p. 370), who admits that the evidence is not perfectly clear. (Milo (II) doesn’t mention Milo (III) as a son in documents, and Bouchard reads proavus in a charter of Milo (III) as “grandfather” rather than the more exact “great-grandfather”.)

Mother: unknown.

Spouse: Ermengard.

This relationship is given by Bouchard (pp. 371-372), who states that there is not enough evidence to support Petit's conjecture that Ermengard later married Humbert of Vermandois.
