He (William) subsequently obtained the hand of the Queen Adelizarelict of King Henry I, and daughter of Godfrey, Duke of Lorraine.....etc. page 3:His Lordship left by Adeliza, his wife, widow of KingHenry I, four sons and three daughters, the eldest of whom, Alice, marriedJohn, Earl of Ewe. The eldest son, William, 2nd earl......etc. The Complete Peerage, Volume I, page 235, this only tells of themarriage and that William (husband of Adeliza) was succeeded by his sonand heir. However, it also tells a bit more, William and Adeliza "marriedin 1138 (the third year of her widowhood)" and "His wife, the QueenDowager, retired in 1150 to a nunnery in Afflighem in South Brabant,where she died and was buried 23 April 1151, aged about 48. He survived her 25years---" This tells us she was born about 1103, was about 35 when shemarried William about 47 when she retired from the world. What I findstrange is that she was married to the king for some years but had nochildren, then between age 35 and 47 "may" have produced seven children. ButHenry I was prolific producing illegitimate offspring and why not withAdeliza? Was he too old, did his breath smell? We will never know---or will we? Best wishes Leo van de Pas | ||||||
