![]() Edgifu married Charles III The Simple of France King of France [3611] [MRIN: 1029], son of Louis II The Stammerer of France King of France [3618] and Adelaide (Judith) of Paris [3621], in 919. (Charles III The Simple of France King of France [3611] was born on 17 Sep 879 in France, died on 7 Oct 929 in Pâeronne, France and was buried in St. Fursi, Pâeronne, France.)
She was the second wife of King Charles III of France , whom she married in 919 after the death of his first wife, Frederonne ![]() Edgifu next married Herbert the Elder of Meaux Count of Meaux and Troyes [3875] [MRIN: 1117], son of Herbert II of Vermandois Count of Vermandois [48834] and Hildebrand of France (called Adela) [3860], in 951 in St. Quentin, France. (Herbert the Elder of Meaux Count of Meaux and Troyes [3875] was born about 910 and died in 995.)
She retired to a convent in Laon. Some sources say that in 951, she left the convent and married Herbert III, Count of Vermandois son of Adalbert, but this is likely an error as Herbert was not born until 953. More likely she married the Herbert son of Herbert II, Count of Vermandois born about 920. |
