I, Grisegonelle, of Anjou Geoffrey Count 
I, Grisegonelle, of Anjou Geoffrey was born in Anjou, France.1 I, Grisegonelle, of Anjou Geoffrey's father was II, the Good, of Anjou Fulk Count and his mother was of Gatinais Gerverga. His paternal grandparents were I, the Red, of Anjou Fulk Count and of Loches Roscille; his maternal grandfather is II, of Arles Rotbold Count. He had a sister named of Anjou. He died in France.2 General Notes
Killed in battle.
ES III (1st series), Tafel 49, has Geoffroy Grisegonelle, comte d'Anjou, m
arry two wives on the same day (or at least within the same week). In a co
nvivial gesture (the compilers frequently show signs of liking a good part
y) it keeps the marriages within the family. Viz.:
(1) Adelaide da. of Comte Giselbert of Burgundy, and
(2) Adele, the da. of the same Adelaide with her husband Robert, com
te of Meaux & Troyes.
The first marriage takes place '2 or 9 Mar 979'; the second happens '2 M
ar 979'. ES - undoubtedly to add a touch of symmetry - has both mother a
nd daughter also marry Lambert, comte of Chalon. Sports fans will be pleas
ed to observe that thus ES generously adds a further Adelaide to the arr
ay of 'solutions' to the question, Who is Geoffrey's significant other?: A
delaide da. of Comte Giselbert of Burgundy. But -- obviously to make us fe
el more at home -- proposes further, 1/2 dozen lines below, one of the t
wo already familiar to us: Adele, da. of Robert & Adelaide & wid. of Lambe
rt I. (Presumably there's no objection to both mother and daughter being L
ambert's widows; shucks, in for a penny in for a pound.) ES cites (1) Bran
denburg; (2) Siegried Rosch; (3) Vajay; (4) 'corrections and additions b
y' Prof. Dr. K F Werner to (5) Rene Louis in Dict of Biog Francais. So mu
ch for one hand ofclining to note what the other's doing. A timely - and m
ore vivacious than we'd had a right to expect - illustration of the poi
nt ('here's one I made earlier') about compilations' weighing-in alternati
ves. (I hope no one thinks I'm condemning ES. We can see the kind of troub
le ES's struggling to ofal with, and this cobbling together of conflicti
ng 'solutions' is its standard procedure; it can't pretend to be offinitiv
e; in using ES the trick's just in noticing that.) -- Christopher Nash
