Hildegarde of Burgundy
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Hildegarde’s son William
Hildegarde of Burgundy (c. 1056–1104) was a French noblewoman.[1] She was the only daughter of Robert I, Duke of Burgundy with his second wife, Ermengarde of Anjou.[2] She was, and by marriage, Duchess of Gascony and Aquitaine.
She married William VIII, Duke of Aquitaine; she was his third wife.[3] William and Hildegarde had these children together:
William’s birth was a cause of great celebration at the Aquitanian court, but the Church at first considered him illegitimate because of his parents’ consanguinity. This obliged his father to make a pilgrimage to Rome soon after his birth to seek papal approval of his marriage to Hildegarde.
