  • Name UNKNOWN Richentia 
    Birth Abt 1100 
    Gender Female 
    Death Abt 1154 
    Notes 
    • Richentia (or Richilde) became the second wife of Hugues of Roucy circa 1120[1] and was the mother of his son Guiscard. Her origin and family are uncertain. Her death between 1147 and 1154 is suggested by charter records.

      Research notes
      Père Anselme calls her Richilde and identifies her as the daughter of Friedrich of Hohenstaufen and Agnès, the daughter of the Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV but proof of this assertion has not been confirmed from primary sources. Desilve's analysis of charter evidence refers to her as Richentia and reveals she was the wife of Hugues and mother of Guiscard, but nothing of her family or origins.[2]
