Stephen Henry was born in 1046 and was the son of Gersendis of Maine.
Michel Bur *La formation du comté de Champagne v.950 - v,1150* (Nancy,
1977) pp.198, 475 gives this affiliation. The ES II:46 Tafel is in error in
that the line above 'Stephan auch Heinrich' should have 'I' instead of
'II'. The data given in the entries require it, though I have been unable
to find a listed correction in the subsequent volumes.
