: (137-22) Moriarty, Isemburg, Winkhaus, and Brandenburg all give as
: mother of Stephen (137-23), Theobald's first wife, Gersende of Maine, while
: Schwennicke gives an unnamed wife as his mother. I know of no other
: reference for it being Adele of Crepi.

According to Anselme, Histoire genealogique et chronologique de la maison
royale de France, Thibaud III was married twice. First, to Gersende, dau.
of Herbert count of Maine, whom he repudiated, and by whom he had no
children. Secondly, circa 1069 to Alix, second dau. of Raoul II "le
grand", count of Crepy and Valois, by a daughter of Hilduin, count of
Breteuil and Clermont en Beauvoisis.

I have no idea what the primary sources say on this matter.
