William I (Nevers)
Wilhelm I ( Guillaume I , † June 20, 1098 ) was a count of Nevers , Auxerre and Tonnerre ( iure uxoris ) from the House of Monceaux . He was a son of Count Rainald I and Adele, a daughter of King Robert II of France .
He was married to Ermengarde, a daughter of Count Rainald von Tonnerre , who inherited County Tonnerre in 1065 after her cousin, Count Hugo-Rainald, had been elected Bishop of Langres . Your children were:
- Rainald II (X August 5, 1089), co-regent of the father
- Wilhelm († after 1099), Count of Tonnerre
- Robert († 1084), Bishop of Auxerre
- Ermengarde, ∞ with Hubert, Vice Count in Maine
- Helvide, ∞ with Wilhelm, Count of Évreux
- Sibylle (Jolanthe) (* 1058; † 1078), ∞ Hugo I , Duke of Burgundy from 1076 to 1078
William was buried in the Saint-Étienne church in Nevers . Because his eldest son Rainald II had died before him, his grandson Wilhelm II immediately followed him in Nevers and Auxerre . Tonnerre County was inherited by the second son Wilhelm.
