Biography
- He succeeded his father in 1045 as Comte de Vermandois.
- He succeeded as Comte de Valois in 1077, by right of his wife.
- "Herbertus Vermandensium et Vadascorum comes" donated property to the church of Saint-Quentin and others, with the consent of "Alide coniugis meæ", by charter dated 1059 (date unlikely to be correct, considering that Héribert did not succeed as Comte de Valois until 1077)[1358].
