Adela Gerloc de Normandy 
Adela Gerloc was born about 0917 in Normandy, France.1 Adela Gerloc's father was Rolf (Rollo) Wend-a-Foot Duke of Normandy and her mother was Poppa de Valois de Normandy Dss of Normandy. Her paternal grandparents were Ragnvald I Eysteinsson the Wise Jarl of Maer and Ragnhild (Hildr) Hrolfsdottir; her maternal grandfather was Pepin de Senlis de Valois Ct de Bayeux. She had a brother named William I Longsword. She was the younger of the two children. She died in France.1 General Notes
[large-G675.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).
