Amélie

  General Notes:

AMELIE, daughter of --- (-[1053]). Her marriage is confirmed by the charter dated to [1053] under which "Guilabertus episcopus filius qui fui Richeldis femine" swore allegiance to her daughter "Almodis comitissa, filia que es Amelie comitisse", also naming "Remundus comes, senior meus, filio qui fuit Sanciæ comitisse". The wording of this document also confirms that Amélie was still alive at that date. It is possible that Amélie was related to Ermengarde, daughter of Hugues Garsinus de Corson, who married Bernard Vicomte de Comborn (see the dcoument LIMOUSIN), as she donated to Uzerche her share in property at "Montecenso", part of which was later donated by Amélie´s son Eudes Comte de la Marche (see below). If this hypothesis is correct, the chronology suggests that Amélie would have belonged to the previous generation and therefore could have been the sister of Hugues de Corson. Amélie must have died soon after this charter as a charter also dated to [1053] records that "Udalardus filius que sum Ermengardis feminæ" swore allegiance to "domne Almodi comitissæ, filia quæ fuisti Ameliæ comitissæ".

Amélie married Bernard de la Marche Comte de la Marche, son of Audebert I de la Marche Comte de la Marche and Adalmode de Limoges. (Bernard de la Marche Comte de la Marche was born about 991-993 and died between 1038 and 16 Jun 1047.)
