Adelaide of Vermandois

(1062 - 1124)

According to Wikipedia:

Adelaide of Vermandois (died 1120 or 1124) was suo jure Countess of Vermandois and Valois from 1085 to 1102.

Life
Adelaide was the daughter of Herbert IV, Count of Vermandois, and Adele of Valois.[1] Her brother was Odo I, whom she succeeded in 1085.

Adelaide first married Hugh I, Count of Vermandois, son of the Capetian King Henry I of France and younger brother of Philip I of France.[2]

In 1104, she married Renaud II, Count of Clermont.[3] By this marriage she had one daughter, Margaret, who first married Charles I, Count of Flanders and second Hugh II, Count of Saint-Pol.

In 1102, Adelaide was succeeded by her son, Ralph I. Adelaide died in 1120 or 1124. Since the Carolingian dynasty passed power and legitimacy through male heirs, all of whom had by now died without sons, she is considered the last member of the great Carolingian dynasty.
