• Notes

  https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Vermandois-1 BIOGRAPHY FROM GENEALOGICS.ORG: Robert was born between 910 and 915, the son of Heribert II, comte de Meaux, Soissons et Vermandois, and Adela of Neustria. Mentioned in documents from 940, Robert obtained the county of Meaux in the partition of his father's lands in 946, three years after his death. By his marriage about 950 to Adelheid de Bourgogne, heiress of Troyes, daughter of Giselbert, duc de Bourgogne, comte de Châlons sur Saône, and Ermengard de Autun, he received the county of Troyes. The union of these two counties was the origin of the county of Champagne. In 959 Robert captured the city of Dijon and drove out the bishop, but he was attacked in 960 by Lothar I, king of France, and Emperor Otto I 'the Great', and had to submit. Robert and Adelheid had a son Heribert and daughter Adelais. Only Adelais would have progeny, marrying Geoffrey I, comte d'Anjou. Robert died on 19 August 967, and was succeeded by Heribert.
