Weis' "Ancestral Roots . . ." (144A:18). The "Dictionary of Royal Lineage" states that he was the illegitimate child of RAINULFE II. He became Count of Poitiers in 902. He became Count of Limousin, Count of Auvergne, and Duke of Aquitaine in 928. Ebles married Adele, daghter of King EDWARD I of England and that WILLIAM III was their son. Weis' "Ancestral Roots. . ." (144A:18), however, does not mention a marriage to Adele and has as WILLIAM's mother Ebles' 2nd wife, EMLIANE. Ebles "Manzer", Count of Poitou and Duke of Aquitaine, was the son of Rainulf II and an unnamed concubine [ES ii,76]. (Moriarty suggests the concubine was possibly an "Ermengarde".)
