This relationship is given by Settipani (1993, p. 214), and by Baldwin.

Spouse: unknown.

Settipani (1993, p. 215) suggests that she may have been a daughter of Theoderic, son of Nibelung, count of the Vexin. Lewis (p. 10) states that she "was probably from the family of the Theoderics and Herberts, counts with lands at Meaux, in Vermandois, and elsewhere. It is noteworthy that when these lands fell vacant, late in the ninth century, it was the son with a name from that side of the family who obtained virtually all of them."
