Research Notes
Adelaide-Werra de Chalon
The French Wikipedia has her first husband marry her mother,[5] which is unlikely, given her age. The same source has her a daughter Gerberge marry King Adalberto of Italy. This would make Adele a grandmother at the age of 12. However, in the reconstruction shown here, Adele is married to two men at once, with her youngest daughter from her first marriage born around 972 and her eldest daughter from her second marriage born around 965.
Note that Genealogie Quebec merges her with her sister.[6]
