Hildegarde Flanders 
Hildegarde was born in 0937 in Gand, Flandre-Orientale, Belgium.1 Hildegarde's father was Arnoul I Flanders and her mother was Alix de Vermandois. Her paternal grandparents were Baudouin (The Bald) Flanders II and Aelfthryth of England; her maternal grandparents were Count of Vermandois Hubert de Senlis and Liegarde France. She had two brothers and three sisters, named Baudouin, Egbert, Elstrude, Elisende and Ledgarde. She was the second youngest of the six children. She died at the age of 53 on April 10th, 0990. She was buried in Abdijkerk, Netherlands.1 General Notes
# Note:
I Originally had Hildegarde de Flanders m. Wichman, Count de Gand, and their daughter Hildegarde de Gand m. Dietrich. According to sources quoted by Curt, below, Hildegarde de Gand & Hildegarde de Flanders are one and the same person. I left the marriage to Wichman as a 1st husband; her marriage to Dietrich seems somewhat late, and possibly she had a 1st husband.

# Note:
No direct evidence is known for the suggestion that Hildegard was Arnulf's daughter. However, the onomastic evidence for such an affiliation is strong, given that Hildegard had sons named Arnulf and Egbert, the latter of which is an Anglo-Saxon name that had only been recently introduced into the family of Flemish counts through Arnulf's mother. However, chronological considerations make it highly unlikely that Hildegard was born late enough to be a daughter of Adele of Vermandois. Since the chronology leaves plenty of room for an earlier marriage of Arnulf (who was probably in his 40's when he married Adele), it is most likely that Hildegard was born to an earlier marriage.
