The speculation that Hadwide/Hadwig (d.28 Jan 1075/80) wife of Gerhard (d.
about 14 Apr 1070), duke of Lorraine, belonged to the house of Namur is no
longer accepted. Neither ES VII:68 (Namur) nor I.2:204 (Lorraine) so
indicate, the first by making no mention of a daughter of that name and the
second by giving her no affiliation.
Helwidis (d.<1126) second wife of Gerhard (d.1108), count of Vaudemont,
(and mother of his children) was the daughter and heir of Gerhard II, count
of Egisheim and his wife Richarda. [ES I.2:200B (Egisheim), 223 (Vaudemont)]
