It is definitely Adalaidis who is mother of Ermengol IV. In the Midi
and Catalonia conventional oaths of the eleventh century required
oathtakers to name their own mothers. There are at least two of these
texts extant for Ermengol IV naming his mother as Adalaidis: Liber
Feudorum Maior, no. 582, and one published in Baraut's edition of the
documents from the archive of Urgell (in the journal _Urgellia_), no.
897. Martin Aurell, in "Jalons pour une enquete sur les strategies
matrimoniales des comtes catalans (IXe - XIe s.)," in _Symposium
internacional sobre els origens de Catalunya (segles VIII-XI)_, 2 vols.
(Barcelona: Commissio del Mil.lenari de Catalunya: Generalitat de
Catalunya, 1991), 1:281-364, at 351-2, notes no evidence that Adalaidis'
was 'of Besalu'; this assignment came in (Aurell cites Armand de Fluvia
for it) only as a guess on onomastic grounds.
