Notes: That Adelaide-Blanche is the mother of William II is clearly demonstrated by contemporary charter evidence. While several mainstream reference works have identified Arsinde de Comminges as William II's mother, those works are incorrect.

For example, see Adelaide's charter, dated 1018 where she is identified as WIlliam's mother: http://www.cn-telma.fr/originaux/charte3995/. There are at least 4 other independent charters verifying this claim.

Adelaide alias Blanche married at least four times.
