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.)


bullet  Marriage Notes:

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.
