Weis' "Ancestral Roots. . ." (118:19), identifies Adelaide as dau. of ROBERT, COUNT OF TROYES and ADELAIDE, wife of GEOFREY I, COUNT OF ANJOU, and mother of FULK III, COUNT OF ANJOU. ES iii, 49; ii, 189 [rev. in iii(1)]; and iii, 116and 433.
In her discussion of the counts of Chalons CBB [Constance Brittain Bouchard *Sword, Mitre and Cloister: Nobility and the Church in Burgundy, 980-1198* (Ithica NY & London, Cornell University Press, 1987)] says: "Lambert married a woman named Adelaide (*). While there is no evidence of her origins in the sources, scholars have repeatedly tried to tie her to the family of Giselbert, count of Burgundy, both because Giselbert did have a daughter named Adelaide and because they feel a need to explain how Lambert could have LEGITIMATELY succeeded to Chalon. Lambert died in 978, and his wife Adelaide quickly married Geoffrey Greymantle, count of Anjou. Geoffrey acted as count of Chalon from 979 until his own death in 989 (*). ..." p.307f.
