    Notes 
    • Adeliza, Countess of Aumale was born illegitimately in 1029. She married, firstly, Enguerrand III d'Aumale, Comte de Ponthieu, son of Hugues d'Aumale, Comte de Ponthieu and Berthe, before 1053. She married, secondly, Lambert II de Boulogne, Comte de Lens, son of Eustace I, Comte de Boulogne and Maud de Louvain, circa 1053. She married, thirdly, Odo II, Comte de Champagne, son of Stephen II, Comte de Champagne and Adele, circa 1060. She was also known as Adelaide. She was styled as Countess of Aumale in 1082.

      Adelaide of Normandy (or Adeliza) (c. 1026 in Calvados, France - c. 1090) was the sister (or half-sister) of William the Conqueror.

      She was the daughter of Robert the Magnificent, Duke of Normandy. Different chroniclers writing in the Gesta Normannorum Ducum call her sister of William the Conqueror either by the same mother or by different mothers. She is usually said to be daughter of Herleva.

      Adelaide married three times;

      first Enguerrand II of Ponthieu (died 1053) by whom she had issue;

      second Lambert II, Count of Lens (died 1054);

      and third in 1060 Odo II of Champagne son of the Count of Troyes, (Odo IV of Troyes), by whom she had issue Stephen, Count of Aumale.

      By Lambert she had a daughter, Judith of Lens, who married Waltheof, Earl of Northumbria (executed 1076). Their daughter, Maud, 2nd Countess of Huntingdon, took for her second husband King David I of Scotland.

      She became Countess of Aumale when her husband Odo inherited the title of Count in 1069.
