Subject: Evidence of Adelaide of Maurienne's death
Looking for a primary source [s] (likely a chronicle) for the death
date of Adelaide of Savoy or Adelaide of Maurienne, wife Louis VII of
France. She died on November 18, 1154.
Thank you in advance for your help.
This request was made 24 April and on 19 April I had my bypass operation. I
am still catching up and there is a lot for me to catch up with.
It seems (I hope I am wrong) this request was ignored. Surely someone could
have said something?
Genealogisches Handbuch des Adels, Fuerstliche Haeuser 1961 page 12 gives
also she died 18 November 1154 (not where) and she was buried in Paris'
Abbey of Montmartre. Sadly, no sources are given.
Europaische Stammtafeln Volume II Tafel 11, here is told (so I understand)
that Adelaide founded Montmartre close to Paris. She is recorded as having
died 18 November 1154.(not where) Here as source is given Tafel 10 to 13 :
Mak von Pfarrer i.R. Hanswolf Buck/Lindau; Pere Anselme
David Williamson's "Debrett's Kings and Queens of Europe", page 66 again
Adelaide died 18 Noveber 1154 (not where), buried Montmartre.
On pages 204 and 205 is a rather large collection of sources
Marlyn Lewis in "The Ancestry of Elizabeth of York" has Adelaide as nr. 4109
and again her date of death is 18 November 1154 (again not where she died).
A source given is F. L. Weiss "Ancestral Roots of 60 Colonists" line 117
F. L. Weiss line 117, page 106, gives she died 1 August
1154----------------is Weiss wrong? I think so.
This book also has a considerable list of sources.
I have not found a primary source reference, maybe someone else still can?
With best wishes
