Stephen "Le Sage" Count of Champagne & was born about 1046 in Blois, Loir-et-Cher, Orleanais/Centre, France. Stephen "Le Sage" Count of Champagne &'s father was Theobald III Comte de Blois and his mother was Alix de Crepi. His paternal grandparents were Eudes II Comte de Champagne & Blois and Ermengarde de Auvergne; his maternal grandparents were Raoul II Count of Vexin and Adele de Breteuil. He was an only child. He died on May 27th, 1102 in Ramlah, Palestine (on Crusade of 1101).General Notes
Ancestral Roots has Stephen as son by the 2nd wife Alix, giving no marriage date for Theobald & Alix, nor birth date for Stephen.

The following information was supplied in a post-em by Curt Hofemann, curt_hofemann@@yahoo.com:
Stephen "Le Sage" Count of Champagne & Blois
Mother: Alix de Crepi b: ABT. 1020 in Vexin, Normandy, France
The identity of his mother seems to be in debate:
I think... (the mother of Stephen) should be Gersende of Maine, Thibaut III's 1st wife. Stephen Henry was born in 1046 and Thibaut and Gersende did not separate until 1048. ES II:46 gives these dates and mistakenly indicates Stephen Henry to be the son of Gundrada. Also see M Bur *La formation du comte de Champagne* (Nancy, 1977), 199, 214-15 where Stephen Henry is stated to be the son of Gersende. [Ref: Richard Borthwick 30 Jan 1998 message to Gen-Medieval] note: I don't know why he refers to as Stephen as Stephen "Henry". As far as I know, middle names didn't come into use until centuries later... Curt
Research note 1: mother: Alix de Crepi [Ref: Weis AR7 137:23]
Research note 2: mother: Gundrada [Ref: Moriarty p117, Paget p58, Watney p110]
Regards,
Curt
Note: the separation between Thibaut/Theobald and Gersende maybe didn't officially happen until 1048, but I have a child of Gersende's 2nd husband who looks to be b. abt 1045.
