    Notes 
    • Guiscard was the son and successor of Hugues Count of Roucy and of his father’s second wife Richentia.[1]

      He married circa 1147 to Elisabeth of Mareuil-sur-Ay as her second husband. With his wife and three oldest sons he was mentioned in the 1160’s.

      Guiscard and Elisabeth were the parents of several children:[1][2]

      Raoul who succeded his father as Count of Roucy
      Jean who succeeded his brother as Count of Roucy
      Ebles chanoine de Reims
      Guiscard or Richard (d.s.p. mentioned in 1170 but not in 1182)
      Henry died 1192-1196
      Eustachie successor after her two brothers to the county of Roucy
      Beatrix
      an additional daughter (per Anselme not mentioned in 1170 or 1182)
      He died circa 1180.[2]

      Research notes
      He was known simply as Guiscard or Wischard (in Latin Wischardi/Wischardus) in the records. The double name of Robert Guiscard found in Anselme's work is perhaps confusion with his ancestor of that name in the Hauteville line.
