GISELBERT [de Roucy], son of RENAUD Comte [de Roucy] & his wife Alberade de Hainaut ([948/55]-19 Apr [991/1000], maybe 997, bur Abbaye de Saint-Rémy). The Acta Concilii Remensis ad Sanctum Basolum (dated to 991) quotes Bruno Bishop of Langres referring to "unicum fratrem meum comitem Gislebertum "[1662]. Comte de Roucy. ...Gilbertus comes confirmavi... subscribed the charter dated 26 May 974 under which Lothaire King of the Franks confirmed the possessions of the monastery of Saint-Thierry de Reims[1663]. Vicomte de Reims: Varin refers to a manuscript which records that comte...Gislebert fils de Renaud comte de Reims et de Roucy donated la moitié de la vicomté [de Reims]...à labbaye de Saint-Rémi while retaining the other half of the vicomté[1664]. The necrology of Reims Cathedral records the death "XIII Kal Mai" of "Gisbertus comes"[1665].
m --- [de Poitiers]. Père Anselme states that the wife of "Gilbert Comte de Reims et de Roucy semble avoir été de la maison de Poitiers" and that the couple were parents of Ebles, Liétard and Judith, shown below[1666]. The primary source on which this is based is not known. However, it is doubtful whether it can be correct in all its details. In particular, Judith Ctss de Rethel (alleged daughter of Giselbert & his wife, see below) must have been born in [1020/30] for chronological consistency with the estimated birth dates of her descendants, which excludes her being Giselbert's daughter. In addition, the origin of the names Ebles, Liétard and Judith is unclear among the family of Giselbert Comte de Roucy. Jean-Noël Mathieu suggests that Giselbert died childless and that the father of these children was Ebles de Poitou, son of Guillaume IV "Fier-à-Bras" Duke of Aquitaine [Guillaume II Comte de Poitou] & his wife Emma de Blois, based partly on onomastics and partly to explain how the territories of Rumigny-en-Porcéan and Coucy (under the suzerainty, respectively, of the abbey of Saint-Nicaise de Reims and the church of Saint-Rémi de Reims, and thereby closely connected with the family of the Comtes de Blois-Champagne) came into the family[1667]. J-N. Mathieu also suggests that the mother of these children was an otherwise unknown daughter of Ermentrude de Roucy, sister of Comte Giselbert, by her first husband Aubry [II] Comte de Macon who, in the ordinary course of events, would have been heiress of Roucy if Giselbert had died childless. The suggestion appears consistent from a chronological point of view. However, more research is needed to establish the original source on which the affiliation from Giselbert is based. Another possibility is that Ebles and Eudes were sons of Giselbert, but that Lietaud and Judith were children born from a second marriage of their mother.
