Adelheid of Tours
Adelheid von Tours (also Adelais, Aelis; † after 866) was a daughter of Count Hugo von Tours († 837) from the house of the Etichonen and Ava († 839). Because of her two marriages she is at a central position in the genealogies of both the Guelphs , the Konradines and the Robertines and Capetians .
Her sister Irmingard married Emperor Lothar I in October 821 , which made her family the center of the Carolingian court.
She herself got her first marriage to the Guelph Konrad I , whose sisters in turn were the Empress Judith (the second wife of Ludwig the Pious ) and Queen Hemma (the wife of Ludwig the German ). It is not known when the marriage took place.
Konrad and Adelheid had at least three sons:
- Conrad II. , Count of Auxerre , 866 Margrave of Transjurania - ancestor of the kings of Burgundy
- Hugo Abbas , † 886, 865 Count of Auxerre, 866 Margrave of Neustria , Count of Tours and Angers
- Rudolf, † before 864, Abbot of Saint-Riquier , 849 Abbot of Jumièges
and probably too
- Welf II (who could also be a son of Konrad's brother Rudolf), 842/850 Graf im Linzgau , 852–858 Graf im Alpgau , the probable progenitor of the Swabian Guelphs.
In addition, they had a daughter of unknown name, which the exiled East Frankish Count Udo married and the grandmother of the later King Conrad I was.
After Konrad's death († after 862) she married Robert the Brave , Count in Wormsgau , Count of Tours and Count of Paris in early 864 . The marriage ended after a good two years with Robert's death in the Battle of Brissarthe . From this marriage she had two sons:
- Odo , † 898, 888 King of France
- Robert I , † 923, 922 King of France
After the death of her second husband and the birth of her son Robert in the same year, Adelheid is no longer mentioned.
