  Notes	Birth, Parents, Siblings Cawley presents a list of children of Eberhard de Friuli and his wife Gisela:[1] Eberhard (837-before 20 June 850) Engeltrude (837/.40-after 874 Unruoch (840-874) daughter, died 874. Cawley reports that "The Annales Fuldenses record that the emperor's men invaded "monasterium puellarum in Brixia civitate" in 887 and abducted "filiam Unruochi comitis, propinquam imperatoris" and married her to "suoque nepoti" Rudolf, died 1 May 892 Berengar, b. 840, murdered Verona 924 Adalhard, died after 1 July 874 Alpais, died young, buried Cysoing) Heilwig, died after 895 Gisela, died April 863 Judith, died after 874 daugher married Arnulf Graf Im Norgaau Received Property from Father's Estate Heilwig received property from her father's estate. The Historia Ecclesiæ Cisoniensis records the testament of “Evrardus comes cum coniuge mea Gisla”, which bequeathes property to “filiabus…nostris…Heilvinch…Hattrenheim et Luisinga et Wendesse et unum manum in Engerestheim” [2] First Marriage to Hucbald She was married first (before 874) to Hucbald, Comte d'Ostrevant (died after 890). [2] "Her first marriage is confirmed by Flodoard´s Historia Remensis Ecclesiæ which names “Hucboldus...sororis...Rodulfi maritus”[299]." [2] "The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Hucbaldus de Hainacq" as "huius [=abbas Rodulfus] sororius"[300]." [2] "The marriage appears to be corroborated by a later passage in the same source which records that "comes Rodulfus" (referring to Heilwig's grandson) was "nepos…ex sorore" of Louis IV King of France[301]." [2] Named in Property Donation "Gisle" donated property to Cysoing for the anniversaries of "Ludovico imperatore patre meo et…Judith imperatrice matre mea et…rege Karolo…germano et…prole mea…Hengeltrude, Hunroc, Berengario, Adelardo, Rodulpho, Hellwich, Gilla, Judith" by charter dated to [874][304]. [2] Second Marriage to Roger She was married second (after 890) to Roger I, Count of Laon (died 926). [2] "Her supposed second marriage is shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[302]. The primary source on which this is based has not been identified and from a chronological point of view it seems unlikely to be correct. Another table in Europäische Stammtafeln only names the wife of Comte Roger as "Helvide" but does not give her origin[303]. " [2] Cawley states that "It appears chronologically unlikely for any of King Louis's sisters, whose dates of birth can be estimated to [908/17], to have been the mother of Raoul [II] who was killed in battle in 944, presumably when he was already adult. It appears more likely that the family relationship was one generation further back, and that a member of the Unruochingi family, descended from the sister of Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks and who originated in the same area in northern France, would provide a good match. " [2] Death Heilwig di Friuli died after 895.[2] Issue Children of Heilwig and Hucbald: Raoul I (d. 926) [3] Children of Heilwig and Roger I, Count of Laon: Roger III (d. 942 Rheims) married a daughter of Gozelon, Count of Bassigny. son (Roger?; living 931) [4] Research Notes Settipani's update on info for Heilwig: [5] "Gautier ou Walthar, Valgaire tué en 892, fut un comte de Laon de la fin du ixe siècle. Il était fils d'Adalhelm, comte de Laon. Pour avoir osé dénier à Eudes le titre de roi à l’assemblée à Verberie, ce dernier, son oncle ou probable cousin germain, le fit exécuter en 892. La documentation est muette sur son mariage et sa descendance. Récemment a été mis en évidence que l'identification entre la veuve Heilwis, mère de Raoul Ier de Vexin et remariée à Roger Ier de Laon, et Heilwis de Frioul, femme d'Hucbald de Gouy, était chronologiquement improbable. Settipani voit plutôt la veuve Heilwis comme une fille d'Hucbald de Gouy et d'Heilwis de Frioul, son premier mari restant inconnu. Or Raoul de Vexin, fils du premier mariage d'Heilwis, est probablement le père de Gautier Ier, comte de Vexin, et le comte de Laon Gautier est proposé comme premier mari d'Heilwis et père de Raoul de Vexin." Google Translate: (better translation needed!) "Gautier or Walthar, Valgaire killed 892, Laon was a count of the late ninth century. He was the son of Adalhelm, Count of Laon. For daring to deny the title of King Eudes at the meeting at Verberie, the latter, probably an uncle or cousin, had him executed in 892 . The literature is silent on his marriage and his descendants. Recently, it was shown that the identification between Heilwis widow, mother of Raoul I of Vexin and remarried to Roger I of Laon, and Heilwis Friuli, Hucbald wife of Gouy, was chronologically unlikely. Settipani sees instead the widow Heilwis as a daughter of Hucbald of Gouy and Heilwis of Friuli, first husband remaining unknown. Or Raoul of Vexin, son of Heilwis' first marriage, is probably the father of Gautier I, Count of Vexin, and the count of Laon Gautier is proposed as the first husband and father of Raoul Heilwis of Vexin." Translate.com: The documentation is silent on his marriage and his offspring. Recently has been highlighted that the identification between the Heilwis widow, mother of Raoul I de Vexin and remarried to Roger I of Laon, and Heilwis of Friuli, wife of Hucbald of Gouy, was chronologically unlikely. Settipani sees ... the widow Heilwis as a daughter of Hucbald of Gouy and Heilwis of Friuli, first husband remaining unknown. Raoul de Vexin, son of the first marriage of Heilwis, is probably the father of Gautier, count of Vexin, and the Count of Laon Gautier is proposed as the first husband of Heilwis and father of Raoul de Vexin. m.1 "confirmed by Flodoard's Historia Remensis Ecclesiæ"(Cawley, 2006)[1] m.2 "in Europäische Stammtafeln, but primary source not identified.
