She is the daughter of Count Fulk III of Anjou and Hildegarde de Metz of Sundgau ( each of whom are my 29th paternal GGF/GGMs ) and was born on about November 11th 1018 in Maine-et-Loire in the Loire Valley of the Pays de-la-Loire region in Medieval France.

She held the titles of the Duchess Consort of Burgundy and the Countess of d'Anjou & de Semur

Her first marriage at age 17 in 1035 was to Geoffrey, Count of Gâtinais; they had the following children:

   * Hildegarde de Château-Landon
   * Geoffrey III, Count of Anjou
   * Fulk IV, Count of Anjou

Her second marriage in 1048 was to Robert I, Duke of Burgundy; they had one daughter:

   * Hildegard (c. 1056–1104), married Duke William VIII of Aquitaine

She was murdered at the age of 57 on Saturday, March 18th, 1076 in the Church of Fleurey-sur-Ouche, Côte-d'Or, Bourgogne, Medieval France with her 2nd husband, Robert Capet. While her death is documented as shown, she had been separated from Robert for consanguinity; she was determined to have been related (a "blood relation"), being descended from the same ancestor as her husband

Ermengarde of Anjou was a Princess of the Ingelgeriens family and the daughter of Fulk III, Count of Anjou and Hildegarde

She married for the first time Geoffroy II Ferréol, count of the Gâtinais and had:

She was already a widow when she went with her mother on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem in 1046; her mother died during the voyage.

She remarried to the Capetian Robert I, the old, Duke of Burgundy, and had:

His brother Geoffrey II Martel died in 1060, and what were his sons, Geoffroy and Gallinules who followed him

Countess and Heiress of Anjou and Duchess of Aquitaine, Burgundy and Brittany

She married Count Geoffroy of Gâtinais, and was a widow by late 1045 or early 1046 when her mother Hildegarde departed for the Holy Land
    [ Halphen (1906), 293 (act #169); Guillot (1972), 1: 102, n. 453; 2: 159 (act C 242) ]

She then became the second wife of duke Robert I of Burgundy, probably not long afterward (since her daughter by that marriage was married in 1067), and died on the same day as her husband, 18 March 1076; both were murdered in the church. As heiress of her brother Geoffroy II Martel, count of Anjou, Ermengarde carried the Angevin possessions to her sons Geoffroy III "le Barbu" and Foulques IV "le Rechin"

The obituary of Molème gives 18 March (XV kal. Apr) as the death date of both Robert and his wife Ermengarde [ "XV kal. aprilis, obiit Robertus, dux Burgundie, et Ermentrudis, uxor ejus." Obituaire de Molème, in Petit (1894), 386 ]

See Poupardin (1900), 206-8, and the Chronicle of Foulque le Réchin [see Halphen (1906), 11; Watson (1945), 2], which state that Ermengarde was a daughter of Foulque III "Nerra", sister of Geoffroy II "Martel", wife of count Geoffroy of Château-Landon, and mother of Geoffroy III and Foulques IV

There are several twelfth century sources which erroneously make Count Aubri the father of Geoffroy III and Foulques IV yet neither provide a name for the wife (all but one) or call her Adela, apparently confusing her with her half-sister [see Watson (1945), 1-2, giving quotes from these sources], but still agree that she was a daughter of Foulques III

Peerage

Ermengarde d'Anjou was born between 1010 and 1018 and was the daughter of Fulco III d'Anjou, 5th Comte d'Anjou and Hildegarde

She married firstly, Geoffrey de Gatinois, Comte de Gatinois de Chateau-Landon circa 1035 and secondly (after Geoffrey's death),
Robert I de Bourgogne, Duc de Bourgogne, son of Robert II, Roi de France and Constance d'Arles, in 1055

ERMENGARDE d'Anjou, daughter of FOULQUES III "Nerra" Comte d'Anjou & his second wife Hildegard [de Metz] ([1018]-murdered in the church of Fleury-sur-Ouche, Côte d’Or 18 Mar 1076, bur Abbaye de Saint-Seine, Côte d'Or). The Historical Andegavensis names "Goffridi de Castro Landono et Ermengardis filia Fulconis Comitis Andegavensis" as parents of "Fulco comes Andegavensis." Her second marriage is deduced from a genealogy of the Comtes d'Anjou which names "Fulco (pater) Gosfridus et Ermengardis (mater) Gosfridus (et) Fulco (et) Hildegardis, de altero patre, filia Roberti ducis fratris Henrici regis." She married secondly ([1048]) Robert I "le Vieux" Duke of Burgundy. The necrology of Molesme records the death "XV Kal Apr" of "Robertus dux Burgundie et Ermengardis uxor eius". She was murdered with her second husband
