Maud (Matilda\Mahaut) de Chalon 
Maud (Matilda\Mahaut) de was born about 0969 in Chalon-sur-Saone, Saone-et-Loire, Bourgogne, France.1 Maud (Matilda\Mahaut) de's father was Lambert d' Autun , Count of Chalon and her mother was of Burgundy- Adelaide de Chalon Adelaide. She had two half-sisters named Maud (Matilda\Mahaut) de and Elizabeth de.2 General Notes
Maud/Matilda definitely married Geoffrey of Semur, but the well-respectedGerman source ES, in one of its conflicting pedigrees, has her alsomarrying Henry, Duke of Burgundy, and having a daughter Aremburga, whowas wife of Dalmas I of Semur. This is probably not true, and ES hasbeen shown to be inconsistent and erroneous in giving the spouse(s) ofHenry. The spouse of Henry was a widow of Adalbert I King of Italy, andthere is still a lot of debate concerning who her father (and mother)were.

"For English readers, the Bouchard article (p261ff) is essential tounderstanding this confusion in ES. French historians etc have peddledvarious theories: the ES has noted all of them, hence the internaldisagreement.
Some have favoured Leotald of Macon as the father of Gerberga, butBouchard follows the more reliable ones (F.Lot, R.Poupardin etc) inseeing her as the daughter of Lambert. She lists 3 children of Lambert:Gerberga (m. 1) Adalbert (2) Henry; Matilda (m. Geoffrey), Hugo ofChalon. The sources clearly state that Matilda and Hugo were children ofLambert, but they don't mention the father of Gerberga.
The main argument for Gerberga being the daughter of Leotald is, Ithink, the fact that her great grandson Otto of Macon (not Otto-William)calls Leotald his _atavus_. The strict classical meaning of this isgreat-great-great-grandad, which would imply, that Gerberga was Leotald'sgrandaughter. However most who favour Leotald's parentage, haveoverlooked this inconvenient detail, and suggested that the term herejust means distant ancestor.
The other evidence is the Life of Hugo of Chalon (d.1039) who says thathis sister married the duke of Burgundy. This has been seen as Gerbergawife of Henry (d.1002). Those who favour Leotald as her father, say thissister was Matilda, who they say married Henry before she marriedGeoffrey of Semur. Thus if one rejects Lambert as the father of Gerberga,you have to invent a new wife for Duke Henry. I think ES III, 433-34 hasthese two marriages. Somewhere else in ES, it even gives this supposedmarriage of Matilda and Henry a daughter, Aremburga, the wife of Dalmas Iof Semur.
I havn't gone into all the various arguments, or evidence: its best toread Bouchard yourself, and decide whether you agree with her. PersonallyI prefer her no-nonsense approach, and the works of other notablehistorians (eg W.Kienast Die Herzogtitel in Frankreich & Deutschland,1968) agree with her on the father of Gerberga being Lambert."
