Adele de Normandy 
Adele was born about 0917.1 Adele's father was Rolf (Rollo) the Ganger Ragnvaldsson of Norway and her mother was Poppa de Valois de Normandy Dss of Normandy. Her paternal grandparents were Rognvald Mere-Earl and Ragnhild (Hildr) Hrolfsdottir; her maternal grandfather was Berenger de Senlis Ct of Bayeux. She had a brother named William I Longsword. She was the younger of the two children.1 General Notes
[SUSANNA KEENE.FTW]
The wife of William III (Towhead) was called Adela in his own
charters (942 & 962). The Norman chroniclers Dudo of St.Quentin
and William of Jumieges in the 11th century, say that Rollo had
by Popa daughter of Berenger his son William Longsword and a
daughter called Gerloc, who William III later married. I think
a French historian suggested that Gerloc = Adela. (this is from
William of Jumieges: I think Dudo has roughly the same thing).
Ademar of Chabannes in III, 23 actually say that Ebles (manzer)
married Adela daughter of Roso/Rollo
and begat William Towhead from that marriage. He seems to have
been quite confused about this, for in an earlier version of
his work (the 'H' text) he says that Ramnulf II (Ebles father)
married 'Adelina daughter of Ruin' (=Rollo).
