UNKNOWN Adela

0929 - 0961  (~ 32 years)

• Name	UNKNOWN Adela
  Birth	0929
  Gender	Female
  Death	0961	Brabant, Brabant, Belgium
  Notes	She is named in secondary sources as Adela von Dachsburg, daughter of Hugo [V] Graf von Dachsburg und Egisheim [Alsace] & his wife Hildegard ---, but the primary source which confirms that this is correct has not yet been identified. [1] Her first name and death year are given in Jabob de Guisia, Annales Hanoniae, Book 14. (MGH edition p.183)[2] Disputed Parentage See G2G discussion. MEDLANDS has the following:[3] She is named in secondary sources as Adela von Dachsburg, daughter of Hugo [V] Graf von Dachsburg und Egisheim [Alsace] & his wife Hildegard ---, but the primary source which confirms that this is correct has not yet been identified. A search for the origins of the proposal traces back to David Blondel (Blondellus) in the 17th century who describes her and her husband simply as "Rainerius III Adela Dasburg maritus". [4] Two points about this: On its own this information implies she was NOT a daughter of Hugo V, because Hugo V's "Etichonid" family did not have Dagsberg until a later generation - approximately contemporary with Adela. The proposal might have been made in order to explain the relationship between Countess Richilde and Pope Leo IX, who was described as her avunculus (uncle, and most likely a maternal uncle). Pope Leo IX was also described as a son of a count Hugo but also a grandson of "Ludovico comite de Dagesburg". So according to MEDLANDS this would make his father Hugo VIII, great grandson of Hugo V.[5] So logically this can best be explained simply by Richilde's mother being a sister of Leo IX.

Knetsch adds that Behr follows them. Ernst should be p.473. https://www.persee.fr/doc/bcrh_0770-6707_1857_num_25_9_2939 Ernst actually pointed out that Mallet calls her Alix, and makes her the daughter of Hugh count of Eguisheim and Dagsburg. For Mallet he cites only indirectly to L'Art de vérifier les dates, p.631. Ernst did not feel confident about Mallet, because he was only quoting a recent history of Toul cited by someone else (Wassebourg, fol.260, alias 216)? ↑ https://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/ALSACE.htm#_Toc508299226 See also: Genealogisches Handbuch des Adels, Fürstliche Häuser . 1961 cited by http://www.genealogics.org/getperson.php?personID=I00020426&tree=LEO http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/ALSACE.htm#AdelaDachsburgdied961 Anderson, James.
