Irmegard De Anjou 
Irmegard was born about 1018 in Anjou, France. Irmegard's father was Foulques III "Nerra" de Anjou and her mother was Hildegarde of Lorraine. Her paternal grandparents were Geoffrey I of Anjou and Adele of Meaux. She had a brother named Geoffrey II "Martel". She had a half-sister named Adele. She died in assassinated in Fleury-sur-Ouche, Normandy, France.General Notes
Married to count Geoffroy of Gâtinais, she was a widow by late 1045 or early 1046 when her mother Hildegarde departed for the Holy Land [Halphen (1906), 293 (act #169); Guillot (1972), 1: 102, n. 453; 2: 159 (act C 242)]. She then became the second wife of duke Robert I of Burgundy, probably not long afterward (since her daughter by that marriage was married in 1067), and died on the same day as her husband, 18 March 1076. As heiress of her brother Geoffroy II Martel, count of Anjou, Ermengarde carried the Angevin possessions to her sons Geoffroy III "le Barbu" and Foulques IV "le Rechin".
The obituary of Molème gives 18 March (XV kal. Apr.) as the death date of both Robert and his wife Ermengarde ["XV kal. aprilis, obiit Robertus, dux Burgundie, et Ermentrudis, uxor ejus." Obituaire de Molème, in Petit (1894), 386].
See, e.g., Poupardin (1900), 206-8, and the Chronicle of Foulque le Réchin [see Halphen (1906), 11; Watson (1945), 2], which state that Ermengarde was a daughter of Foulque III "Nerra", sister of Geoffroy II "Martel", wife of count Geoffroy of Château-Landon, and mother of Geoffroy III and Foulques IV. The several twelfth century sources which erroneously make count Aubri the father of Geoffroy III and Foulques IV either do not provide a name for the wife (all but one) or call her Adela, apparently confusing her with her half-sister [see Watson (1945), 1-2, giving quotes from these sources], but still agree that she was a daughter of Foulques III.
