==Biography==
===Birth, Parents, Siblings===
Adelais de Troyes was born, say, 954. Her parents were married by 950, w h e n t h e ir oldest child was born. If she was the third, her estimated b i r t h w o uld be 954.
There is some question about her parents, but they are most likely Robe r t d e V e r mandois and his wife Adelaide.
One reason for the question is that she appears to have a sister with a s i m i l a r name. While in fact and in documents, Adela, Adele, Adelais, an d A d e l a ide are often used interchangeably, for the purposes of these si st e r s , t his sister is referred to as Adelais or Adelaide, while [[Verma n d o i s -351|the other sister]] is referred to as Adele or Adela.
===Marriage to Charles, Duke of Lorraine===
Baldwin refers to her as the unnamed wife of Charles, duke of Lorraine a n d n o t e s that "This conjecture is based on a passage in Historia Franco r u m S e n onensis, which states that Charles married a daughter of count H e r i b e rt of Troyes."

Cawley eliminates Heribert, son of Robert, born about 950, as too young t o b e C h a r les' father in law. Cawley also eliminates H�ribert II Comte d e V e r m a ndois, father of Robert, who was not Comte de Troyes. [ Charles Cawley. Foundation for Medieval Genealogy.

Baldwin notes that the same passage falsely makes Charles into a son of k i n g L o t hair, when he was in fact a brother [ Settipani (1993), 337-8, n. 1 0 1 0 , c i ted by Stewart Baldwin, Henry Project. ] Cawley, followin g S e t t i pani's conjecture, makes Charles' unnamed wife to be Adelais de T r o y e s , born between 950 and 951, died after 991), a second daughter of R o b e r t w ith a name similar to the first, who married about 970 Charles d e F r a n c e, son of Louis IV "d'Outremer" King of the Franks & his wife Ge rb e r g a v on Sachsen.
